Online gambling is any type of starburst free slots gambling which is conducted on the internet. Online gambling includes online poker, an online casinos and sports betting online. The first gambling site online was opened for public use in October 1994, when tickets were offered to the inaugural Liechtenstein International Poker Tournament. The industry of online gambling has experienced tremendous growth since then. There are hundreds of online gambling websites.
Gambling online has numerous benefits which include the ability to make real money. Many people may not be comfortable playing online due to their absence of physical interaction with a bet or a game. It is crucial to remember that online gambling is the same as if you were playing in a brick-and-mortar casino. You are still taking risks and putting your money in an unknown environment. All things being equal it could be worth the risk!
Many states across the USA have taken steps to safeguard internet gambling. This includes passing legislation that prohibits online gambling, and making it illegal to operate an online gambling site from certain areas. The Internet gambling industry is huge and is estimated to generate billions of dollars annually. However, the current economic crisis , as well as the issues related to gambling on the internet in the US, may prove to be the death knell for this booming industry.
The online gambling industry has been shut down by some individuals and companies. Betfair recently bought the world-renowned Pagcor. Despite promises of a newfound fortunes for Pagcor, the news of the company’s collapse has sent shockwaves throughout the gambling industry on the internet. Betfair and other companies that are involved in the online gambling market are now looking for ways to save their once profitable businesses.
Another group that is feeling the impact of the recent economic crisis is the online casinos themselves. A group of ferocious investors led by Steve Ellis sold a large portion of their shares in a variety of US based internet casinos to finance a variety of ventures. This included the acquisition of several online casinos in Canada. This could bring more gambling opportunities on an international stage.
Due to the current economic downturn the UK’s online gambling industry is also in danger. Numerous gambling websites online and individual gamblers are losing their bet capital. One example is the deportation of the principal stake player from the UK online casino. This is because he fears losing his money. The situation is similar to the one in the US where internet gambling sites saw their revenue from betting decrease by up to forty percent during the current economic downturn.
The recent scandals in the gambling industry in the Philippines have also had a negative impact on the gambling opportunities available in the country. The scandal that caused a ruckus in the Philippines gambling industry on the internet has implicated numerous high-profile aztec gems gamblers. They include some of the nation’s most powerful men and prominent businessmen, politicians and even celebrities. They all participated in online gambling directly or indirectly through close friends.
Despite recent scandals, the amount of Filipinos engaging in gambling online continues to rise. The safety of the online gambling industry is also under threat by the rising number of internet users in the Philippines. Cybercrimes have been committed against a number of gaming websites in the Philippines. The Philippine government has however declared that they will not tolerate the expansion of gaming websites that engage in cybercrime.

At the 2022 ISEA Annual Meeting, Tom Votel, ISEA Chair and President & CEO of Ergodyne, provided members with an update on the association’s advocacy efforts.
“Dan Glucksman has been takin’ it to the streets, in ISEA’s advocacy efforts, as he always does,” said Votel. “This is one of those invaluable benefits of ISEA membership.”
He said its through these efforts members have a direct pipeline to decision-makers on Capitol Hill, with The Federal agencies, other governing bodies, and other associations that impact our business.
Earlier this year, ISEA brought a group of respiratory manufacturers to the Capitol to meet with members of Congress. Many walked the halls of Congress to discuss a strategy for the regulatory structure in respiratory protection in the healthcare workplace and to ask for additional funding for NIOSH so that they can adequately and efficiently advance approvals and screen for fraudulent products.
Votel thanked 3M, Gentex, Kimberly-Clark, Honeywell, MSA, Moldex, Scott Safety and SureWerx for being there to talk directly to those who are making the rules and regulations that apply directly to the industry.
ISEA has hosted some informational webinars on federal procurement of safety equipment at the membership’s request. And the team is working daily with members, helping them to engage in all matters of occupational safety that impact them and the industry as a whole.
Votel thanked ISEA’s Director of Policy Dan Glucksman and ISEA staff for “always keeping us up to date on what’s going on in Washington, and advancing our interests.”
He encouraged members to be more engaged and involved with ISEA’s advocacy efforts and to reach out to staff to learn how.

Now here is what you have been waiting for -- an inexpensive way to waterproof your art and sculpture in order to display it outside. This unbelievable new material will waterproof everything else, too.
NeverWet, which had its own viral video demonstration last year by Lancaster Online garnering more than 4.9 million views to date, will begin selling its superhydrophobic spray system under the Rust-Oleum brand at Home Depot stores nationwide.
“This is a game changer,” Jim Stinner, vice president of marketing for Rust-Oleum, said, according to the Lancaster Online. “Everyone is going to want to try it out.”
“This is certainly going to be one of the biggest products we’ve ever had,” he continued.
Lancaster Online dubbed the product “magical.”
Stinner also said the product itself has already generated considerable interest, even though it won’t be hitting the shelves for the next couple weeks.
NeverWet consists of a two-can spray kit that can cover a 10 to 15-square-foot area, making it repellant to water and heavy oils:
Among other things, it can be used on metal, wood, masonry and aluminum as well as fabric, leather and canvas.
But the possible uses for Rust-Oleum NeverWet seem limited only by the imagination of the customer.
For instance, NeverWet officials showed a reporter this past week how it can be sprayed on the inside of a cardboard case of beer to make an impromptu ice chest.
Yes, it works on phones too in up to six inches of water.
Any object coated with our NeverWet coating literally cannot be touched by liquid,” the Pennsylvania-based company stated. “Any liquid placed on this coating is repelled and simply rolls off without touching the underlying surface. Not only is this amazing to see, but it solves a myriad of problems.”
Check out how it works:
Even with the partnership NeverWet has made with Rust-Oleum, which NeverWet CEO Daniel Hobson called a “huge deal” for the “innovation company,” he told Lancaster Online they’re not stopping when it comes to improving the product. They hope to have a completely transparent spray — it currently leaves a slightly cloudy look — in the future.
The product will sell at Home Depot for $19.97 per spray system.

With a history that dates back to 15th century B.C., chrysanthemum mythology is filled with a multitude of stories and symbolism. These Daisy-like flowers with a typically yellow center and a decorative pompon, chrysanthemums symbolize optimism and joy but yellow chrysanthemums symbolize neglected love or sorrow.

Noise problems: advice
Noise advice and guidance:
Need to report a noise problem?
Whether celebrating a birthday or other special occasion we will all create noise at some time or another and generally as a society we accept this as it is an inevitable consequence of urban living.
The law dealing with noise nuisance also recognises this and implies a degree of 'give and take'.
Therefore, when the Councils consider complaints about noise, we are considering the excesses of the activity and whether it is reasonable.
We have to balance the rights of the person celebrating with the rights of neighbours who may want to enjoy the peace and enjoyment of their own home. Moderation is the key to maintaining this balance and good neighbourly relations.
If you are considering having a party, these tips may help you to avoid annoying your neighbours:
- out of courtesy it helps to let your neighbours know in advance of any planned party, including neighbours who back onto you
- keep music levels down, especially the bass
- think carefully about where you put the speakers to minimise sound breakout and avoid loud music outside
- ensure all windows and doors are kept closed, particularly after 11pm - this will help to contain any noise and minimise disturbance to neighbours
- remember, if you are attached to other homes, noise will pass through the party walls
- after 11pm bring people indoors and lower the volume of music
- keep an eye on the noise from people outside and ensure noise (people talking and shouting) is kept to a minimum
- ask your guests to leave quietly, minimising door slamming and shouting/laughing outside
- don't think that because your neighbours have been forewarned you can be as loud as you wish - your neighbours still have the right to complain even if you have advised them of the party
Remember, whilst an occasional party is not unreasonable (eg associated with a special event such as a birthday), frequent loud parties that cause disturbance can be considered unreasonable and may constitute a statutory nuisance.
Building work or DIY activities can often create a lot of noise or vibration that can affect neighbours and results in many complaints to the Councils each year.
There is no law laying down times that DIY or other building works can take place, nor any specifying maximum noise levels. However it is possible that noise from such activities could cause a statutory nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 if frequent and/or prolonged. In addition planning conditions are often attached to planning permissions which restrict work to certain times only.
We appreciate that people often have work or other commitments so the opportunities to carry out building or DIY works may be limited. However, this work must be done at reasonable times and should not cause nuisance to neighbours.
We strongly recommend that noisy building/DIY work is restricted to the following times, unless you have agreed other times with your neighbours:
- Monday to Friday: 8am to 6pm
- Saturdays: 9am to 1pm
- Sundays and Bank/Public Holidays: no work
It is a good idea to inform your neighbours of the work you are carrying out and how long you expect it to take. Where possible inform them in advance of potentially noisy work. Complaints may be avoided if people are aware of your timetable.
Remember, whilst occasional DIY or building work is not unreasonable, frequent or prolonged loud work that causes disturbance can be considered unreasonable and may constitute a statutory nuisance.

(#6 in a series)
An intrinsic element of a hierarchical society is knowledge—who knows it, and who controls access to it.
Throughout the medieval period, the Catholic church controlled much of the academia of the Western World. Institutionally, she did not handle this charge well, as evidenced by her poor reaction to the Age of Reason. The Inquisition could be framed as a last ditch effort to keep access to knowledge in the hands of the Vatican.
Catholics will admit that Martin Luther and his 95 Theses were not without merit. I personally believe—and this is greatly simplified—that the mysticism of the medieval period no longer served the evolving world; but instead of seeing this as an opportunity for new evangelism, the church clung to the past in a way that left a gaping void between the altar and the pews.
And into the void stepped the Protestants.
What they offered was revolutionary—an acceptance of science; personal access to God, in words and language that every person could understand; simple, beautiful prayer and worship; no intercessors, nothing to stand between us and our Savior.
This new independence of faith dovetailed with the end of the feudal system and the growth of cities. Leaders in these cities sought to impose law and order, for which the Protestant embrace of science and philosophy was a natural fit—unfortunately for women. Barr refers to The Holy Household: Women and Morals in Reformation Augsburg written by Lyndal Roper:
According to Roper the male political and economic leaders of Augsburg found Reformation theology supportive as they worked to strengthen control over the city and make it more financially stable. These economic and religious changes hardened an “theology of gender” for women that, far from improving their lives, placed women more securely under the household authority of their husbands. Marriage guaranteed women stability and significance, but their increasingly subordinate role confined them to low-status domestic work, increased their dependence on their husbands for economic survival and curtailed their economic and social opportunities outside the household (104-105).
Remember my mention last week of the midwife, healer, weaver, grower, alewife, abbess? These occupations began to disappear in cities where men formed guilds that required training or education and squashed the smaller competition, mainly women. A woman need only be trained as a wife under the authority of her husband. Barr makes an interesting observation: “Before the Reformation, women could gain spiritual authority by rejecting their sexuality. Virginity empowered them. Women became nuns and took religious vows, and some…found their voices rang with the authority of men”(103). But after the Reformation, “(i)n an eerie echo of Roman paterfamilias, the orderly household once again became the barometer for both the church and state, and the waning power of the Catholic priest was replaced by the waxing power of the Protestant husband” (117).
At the same time, the Household codes were transformed. Barr notes that these verses were rarely mentioned in medieval sermons and when they were, it was as example for all Christians. She references 1 Timothy 2:15 (“Yet she will be saved by childbearing”): “the sermon casts the woman as an example for all Christians, who must go through the pain (like childbirth) of cleansing themselves of sin before experiencing the joy of salvation (the child itself)”(119). This is a very different read than the evangelical interpretation that only through child-bearing—and the assumed role of wife and mother—can a woman be saved.
Barr’s assessment: the Reformation placed women on an impossibly narrow pedestal and “as the role of wife expanded, the opportunities for women outside of marriage shrank”(127).
This made me think of the movie Dangerous Beauty, the historical story of a young girl named Veronica Franco who lived in Venice in the 16th century. While her friends marry in “triumph” to rich old men, Veronica’s mother trains her to be a courtesan. The contrast is stark: a gilded cage of marriage and motherhood against the educated, cultured, and financial freedom of the courtesans. The wives believe themselves superior in vocation, but in one wrenching scene, are forced to call on Veronica for news of their husbands at war. Not only does she receive regular letters from their husbands, but she arrives dressed in opulent, colorful splendor, as her position affords her—while they are dressed in stark black and perched on chairs like crows.
I remember wondering “Who would EVER want to be a wife?”

Demonstrators gathered at the Peace and Justice Plaza in downtown Chapel Hill on Saturday to bring attention to the town’s lack of affordable housing.
The “House Us Now” march, organized by a coalition of local nonprofit organizations, drew around 100 participants.
The group marched down Franklin Street to the Marian Cheek Jackson Center on West Rosemary Street, in hopes of constructing affordable housing units for people who make less than 30 percent of the area median income. In Chapel Hill, the AMI is about $22,500 per year.
March leader Yvette Mathews is the office and community organizer of the Chapel Hill branch of the Community Empowerment Fund, a local nonprofit dedicated to alleviating homelessness and poverty.
Matthews said Chapel Hill does not provide enough housing for individuals living on or under 30 percent AMI. Kristina Smith, program coordinator, said the housing that currently exists is too expensive for these residents, and mostly luxury apartments are under construction.
She said those who earn minimum wage or live on disability checks are especially affected by the housing shortage.
"The people that are not being serviced are the people that service people every day," she said. "We're talking about waitresses, people who work in restaurants. We're talking about low-income people."
When Quinton Harper, a voting rights advocate and manager at the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service, moved to Carrboro 12 years ago, his rent was $550 dollars per month.
Since then, it has risen to $1000. His story is not unique.

Polyculture for Peak Performance
In part four of our regenerative principles for soil health series we’re talking about companion planting, which compliments the other principles we already covered: minimize soil disturbance, protect soil surface, and maintain living roots. Next week we’ll discuss animal integration.
Let’s define some terms:
– Poly means many. Polyculture includes many kinds of plants, compared to monoculture with one kind of plant (imagine a field full of one kind of crop).
– Companion planting locates one plant near another that will benefit it. They may even be mutually beneficial. Companion plants can do things such as repel pests and critters, attract pollinators and predators that eat pests, fertilize the soil, and more.
– A plant guild is a group of companion plants. It is often centered around a fruit tree that provides shade or filtered light for the various edible plants below its canopy that each benefit the group in other ways.
Companion planting is not only good for plants, it also helps build healthy soil! Imagine a forest or jungle full of many varieties of plants. No one tends them and yet they thrive! Plants that like each other naturally do best near each other. All the living roots support a healthy soil microbiome that in turn supports all the plants in an amazing symbiotic relationship.
Each plant attracts a unique microbiome. Plant diversity above ground results in microbe diversity below ground. All the competition prevents disease-causing microbes from becoming too numerous. Healthy soil has a robust microbiome that helps plants get the nutrients they need to ward off pests and disease and produce abundant, nutrient-rich food for us.
Succession planting, like we talked about last week, especially when following the crop rotation principles you learn about in the Agriscaping Mastery Program (AMP), accomplishes many of the same effects described above. One of the awesome benefits AMP comes with is garden planner software that has, among other things, one-click planting, care, and harvest information for all your favorite edible plants along with the best companion plants for each one. It saves you immense amounts of time when you’re planning you’re garden beds.

Selena Gomez is ready to love again after two years of being ‘super, super single’
It’s a question that we’ve been trying to answer all year long: are Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez dating or nah? While we may not know the definitive answer before the year ends if ever , they’ve managed to keep their couple status a mystery for nearly days, mostly through the taunting assistance of social media. We’ve said “awww” to all their adorable selfie moments, pondered their relationship and the mysteries of the universe as they posted and deleted photos and, at times, left us utterly perplexed as they unfollowed each other on Instagram, then followed, and then unfollowed again.

Skies clouded and bands of intermittent heavy rain moved on shore ahead of the storm, but the Panhandle was largely calm.
Condominiums on Pensacola Beach warned residents to bring balcony furniture indoors with winds anticipated to strengten throughout the evening. A trickle of cars and SUVs with surfboards on top headed east along the Panhandle as surfers hoped to catch waves whipped up by Claudette.
On Pensacola Beach, the National Park Service closed low-lying roads that connect the restaurants and hotels to the undeveloped National Seashore and historic Fort Pickens Fort. The Park Service said campers would be ordered to leave the area because of the likelihood of the road flooding.
Rainfall of 3 to 6 inches was expected, with isolated areas getting up to 10 inches along the Panhandle, the Big Bend region, central and southern Alabama and extreme southwestern Georgia, forecasters said.
"We may see some heavy rains as a result, but we don't expect any high winds or coastal flooding," said John Dosh, manager of Emergency Management. "This event is a good example of how quickly a tropical storm can develop. We won't always have a lot of warning. This is why citizens need to be prepared throughout hurricane season."
In Panama City, the Bay County Emergency Operations Center opened a shelter at a local high school for residents of low-lying areas and people with special needs.
A tropical storm warning covers most of the Panhandle, from the Alabama state line to the Suwanee River more than 300 miles to the east.
The storm tide is expected to produce maximum water levels of 3 to 5 feet above ground level along portions of the Panhandle.
Alexander Hanrahan, a tourist from London, watched Claudette roll in on Pensacola. He said his family feared the storm after watching the television in their beach-front condominum.
"We were actually deliberating whether to get out on the road, but when we got out it was nothing. My mom was nervous because she's not used to driving here anyway," Hanrahan said.
Pensacola Beach is still recovering from Hurricane Ivan, which devastated the western Florida Panhandle and parts of Alabama in 2004.
At 8 p.m. EDT, Claudette was about 55 miles west of Apalachicola and moving northwest near 12 mph. Its center was expected to move onshore along the northern Gulf Coast by Monday.
Meanwhile, Ana's winds had diminished to 35 mph and was expected to make landfall at the Leeward Islands early Monday. Watches were posted for Puerto Rico, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, Antigua, St. Maarten and several other islands in the area. Ana was forecast to bring 2 to 4 inches of rain.
Tropical Storm Bill, however, was intensifying far from land in the open Atlantic, and could become a hurricane late Sunday or on Monday.
In the Pacific, Hurricane Guillermo had winds that had dropped to 85 mph, and it was expected to lose steam in the next day. Guillermo was moving west at 14 mph, about 995 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii, and didn't threaten any land.
Despite the storms, a warmer weather pattern called El Nino over the Pacific Ocean is generally expected to damper the formation of tropical storms in the Caribbean and Atlantic this year, said Brian Daly, a meteorologist with the national weather service in Mobile, Ala.
"It's pretty frequent that an El Nino year would be somewhat delayed with fewer storms," Daly said.
Forecasters revised their Atlantic hurricane season predictions after the first two months of the season passed without any named storms developing.
Associated Press writer Desiree Hunter in Atlanta contributed to this report.

Ending Violence Without Violence:The Missing Story of #MeToo: Sexual Violence by Law Enforcement Agents
In the midst of a national conversation on sexual harassment and assault sparked by #MeToo and the me too movement, one form of sexual violence remains shrouded in silence: when police officers and other law enforcement agents are the perpetrators. Although studies show that sexual violence is the second most frequently reported form of police misconduct after excessive force, it is not the second most frequently talked about, despite the fact that an officer is caught in the act every 5 days. Perhaps most alarmingly, evidence suggests that law enforcement officers frequently prey on survivors of sexual, domestic, and community violence.
This two-day virtual workshop will explore the following questions: What does sexual violence by police look like? Who do officers target? Most importantly, how can we put a stop to this systemic problem? How can sexual assault and anti-criminalization advocates join forces to create a comprehensive approach to this problem which places survivors at the center?
About the Speaker: Andrea J. Ritchie is a Black lesbian immigrant police misconduct attorney and organizer whose writing, litigation, and advocacy has focused on policing and criminalization of women and LGBT people of color for the past two decades. She is currently Researcher in Residence on Race, Gender, Sexuality and Criminalization at the Barnard Center for Research on Women, where she recently launched the Interrupting Criminalization: Research in Action initiative.

If you want to understand how to play the game Euro poker, you must start by realizing the sort of gameplay which usually are being played. Texas holdem is really a variation regarding bet, when the golfer positions an individual’s profit in what can and after that aims to have her attackers to help option it again previous to instance expires. The player with the help of the most money afterwards from the game wins. To be happy, an individual should be aware exactly how the several varieties of bets seem to be made. The participant just who folds over will likely be the golfer who’s considered to choosing a lump sum, thus an outstanding strategy is normally in an attempt to place the likelihood from the pup and wager exactly the same level you want to secure, but in the out of threat for which you burn, after that fold.
In the Euro video game, you’ll possess 3 different types of notes: a lender, little leaguer additionally,the shades, also called typically the kzystkie. All of these businesses credit cards boasts a skin value. You can get no more than 3, which has been within a hand, with the exception of this 6th greeting card, that’s typically the Dealer’s credit card and cannot be employed to cause any kind of bets.
There’s even a offer identified as “plyshny” and even “plyshnykh” of which is identical to these Western “panel “.That personally possesses one particular card account with respect to most of the nearly four players. The dealership definitely will space one of these brilliant “boards” right onto each one of the seats at the tables and be able to allow the gamers to utilise it. Its regarded as a the particular “sin city”, “sparkling wine” or maybe “religious organization forums” found in Russian. Virtually any poker player might check moreover of the boards, with the exception of one more not one but two players. It can be crucial of which when you are given your already, you never investigate to determine what poker player it again is.
As soon as lots of competitors include situated most of the bets, the dealership might mention “Special secrets!” together with every person need to flip the their own hand. After that, the player posessing very cheap complete bets afterwards from the match wins. When you will find there’s wrap, a final individual aided by the strongest comprehensive bets wins.
Another predominant rule out just how to play Ruskies on line poker is certainly to always be watchful approximately folding. At one time a person comes with picked up the actual solution for fists, must be waterproof crease these present leading to a next chance might be made. When a player folds over around they chance throughout a, the application is termed “punting”, and in some cases you could possibly be stopped out of learning during the future.
When you have already been traded ones own to begin with submit a good Euro poker game, it is best to without delay appraise the situation.

That a Lot of Bums
Cheating is an unfortunate yet unavoidable reality of online gaming. Especially on PC. For whatever reason, some people find it fun to blatantly cheat and hack their way into the winner’s circle. While there are many other games that have experienced a pandemic of cheaters over its lifetime perhaps no community has suffered more than Rainbow Six Siege.
Since the game first launched, Rainbow Six Siege was plagued with players using aimbot, wallhacks, fly, etc. However, what made this problem even worse was how slow Ubsibisoft was when it came to banning these players and their accounts. Things have changed for the better over the past few years but in the early days, it was almost impossible to not come across someone who wasn’t cheating.
Ubisoft has recently released the numbers when it comes to how many accounts they have banned. Since 2016 Ubisoft has had to ban more than 100,000 accounts for cheating and foul play. Keep in mind that these are only the accounts that they have caught. Chances are there are just as many players running around causing chaos and pulling other sweaty shenanigans but they have just not been found yet.
“More than ever, Siege is a target of choice for cheaters and cheat providers due to its growing popularity and competitive nature. This has pre-empted us to make further upgrades to our anti-cheat system,” said Ubisoft in their blog post.
For the sake of the Siege community, we can only hope this problem does not persist. Ubisoft added that they have been forced to ban close to 47,000 players this year alone. Siege has taken a bit of a hit recently due to community outcries over balancing issues. If hackers continue to ruin the game then it can only be expected that the deadly combination is only going to lead to more players leaving altogether.

Super-fast mobile networks will soon be available, which will enable consumers to download games and media directly from their mobile phones. These networks will offer users the option to access a broader band of frequencies, thereby offering them better connectivity than current mobile networks. However, there are many issues that need to be addressed before this type of technology can be deployed widely. One of these is whether or not users will have complete control over their mobile devices when using the networks.
Will 5G technology be safe? This is a very important question as there are concerns today about the security of various networking technologies. It is believed that ai technology may pose similar threats to existing security protocols such as WAN. Therefore, it is necessary for developers to determine if they will be able to incorporate the new technology into their networks before it becomes available in the market.
Will 5G data networks work in developing countries? It is expected that in the future all network devices will connect to the same wireless infrastructure. This will enable users of the technology to share one connection rather than having different connections. However, this also means that developing countries will be at a disadvantage when it comes to connecting to the mobile networks. The majority of developing countries lack the infrastructure to accommodate a large amount of mobile subscribers. For this reason, it will be difficult for developing countries to enjoy the benefits of this new technology.
Will there be an increase in the number of mobile devices without Wi-Fi service? Currently, there is a trend for people to bring their personal computers and laptops to public areas such as coffee shops and airports. With the introduction of mobile 5G data networks, it is likely that more individuals will go wireless. However, there is a chance that the number of users who go wireless will decrease once Wi-Fi becomes available everywhere.
What are the benefits of cloud computing? Similar to what many people are already familiar with, cloud computing allows users to access the same information irrespective of where they are. Cloud networking is based on the idea that certain applications can be accessed from a remote location. The application developers have control over the content of the servers they host. They can therefore ensure that the same content is always available and not lost. The infrastructure that is used to host these applications is usually inexpensive.
Will there be an increase in the number of data centers? In a world dominated by electricity and gas, there is an increasing demand for efficient, secure, and reliable communications. The advances in technology have led to the development of data centers. Modern data centers incorporate several components, such as refrigeration equipment, IT infrastructure, as well as computer servers and other hardware.
What are the limitations of such services? This type of service is usually reliable, but it may also suffer from interruptions caused by weather or power outages. There will be an increase in the number of devices that need to communicate with one another when compared to earlier networks. This is because the number of users has increased. Furthermore, this new type of infrastructure has very high costs as it requires extensive construction and other supportive technologies.
Is this a permanent solution? The truth is that there is no definite answer to this question. Many experts are of the view that the emergence of cloud services will continue to take place until significant advances have been made in security and reliability. However, improvements are likely to be made to the current 5G technology. More secure technology will replace some of the older methods used to secure data centers. This may result in an increase in the demand for such services.

With one meal a day, most are struggling to keep themselves alive amidst hunger and poverty
JCI Dhaka Young of JCI Bangladesh has distributed food essentials to vulnerable sex workers in Dauladtia, Rajbari.
The essentials were distributed under the project titled “Manush Manusher Jonno” on June 27, according to a press release on Tuesday.
JCI Executive Vice President Nazmul Hossain Shobuz, General Legal Counsel Samia Rahman, with the help of the Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Goalanda Police Station Ashikur Rahman, distributed the food packets to 230 sex workers in that area.
Each of the packets contained 10kg rice, 2kg lentils, 2kg flour, 1kg sugar, and 1litre oil.
Daulatdia hosts the largest brothel in Bangladesh and has been closed since March 2020 ever since Covid-19 hit Bangladesh, changing the plight of the sex workers for the worse.
As a result of the pandemic, sex workers in Bangladesh, like other informal sector workers, are experiencing hardships and severe loss of income.
Barely surviving with one meal a day, most of them struggled to keep their children and themselves alive amidst hunger and poverty.
The Project Lead and Vice President of the organization Sanzida Sharmine said: “The idea to organize and implement this project came to our mind after we saw several news in BBC and other media regarding the predicament of the disadvantaged sex workers in this difficult time.”

Shiba Inu is an Ethereum-based alternative to Dogecoin (AKA the original memecoin).
Launched in 2020 by someone known only as ‘Ryoshi’, SHIB has no real purpose (like DOGE). However being built on Ethereum means that it can be used to create DeFi products like the decentralised exchange (DEX), Shibaswap.
While SHIB is essentially a very, very expensive crypto in-joke, with CoinJar Card users can nominate SHIB as their spend account and use it for in-store and online purchases. And really, is there any better conversation starter than telling a mate you just bought them coffee with SHIB?
Dogecoin was the original memecoin, created in December 2013 as a joke version of Bitcoin and built using essentially the same technology. Shiba Inu was inspired by Dogecoin, but was deployed as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. This means that beyond being a purely tongue-in-cheek crypto, it also has the power to use smart contracts in the shape of dapps and DeFi.
People typically buy Shiba Inu in the UK through a crypto exchange such as CoinJar. You simply create an account, verify your ID – it only takes a few minutes – and then either deposit money from a bank account or use a credit or debit card to make the purchase.
Shiba Inu was created in August 2020 by an anonymous figure known only as Ryoshi. Ryoshi declared that Shiba Inu coin would be the “Dogecoin Killer”.
The safest way to Buy Shiba Inu is through a trusted exchange with a proven track record. CoinJar is Australia’s longest-running crypto exchange and has been operating since 2013 with no unplanned downtime, security breaches or loss of customer funds. We are registered with the FCA UK (for AML purposes) and work with some of the world’s largest payment providers, including Mastercard, Visa, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Yes – with CoinJar Instant Buy you can buy Shiba Inu with any UK-issued Visa or Mastercard. We also offer support for Apple Pay and Google Pay.
As this would put the market cap of Shiba Inu slightly north of $589 trillion, the answer is no.
CoinJar is the longest-running crypto exchange in the UK and has been designed from the ground up with security and ease-of-use in mind. From the quick and intuitive sign-up process, to our lightning fast bank deposits and withdrawals, low fees starting at 0% (on CoinJar Exchange), and a user-friendly iOS and Android app, CoinJar is the ideal crypto exchange whether you’re buying crypto for the first time or an experienced investor.

I got the Cuispro Stainless Steel Food Mill ($69.95) to make baby food, instead of the food mill by Kidco ($9.95), because I figured I would also use it to make adult food, like mashed potatoes or applesauce (it turns out that Marc hates applesauce, but I digress). I had read reviews on Amazon criticizing the lack of assembly instructions, but I was not prepared to read that I should “assemble the mill with the disk of [my] choice” with no further elaboration of how the pieces fit together. I am not mechanically inclined, but somehow I managed to figure it out, no thanks to the manufacturer.
It’s harder to use the mill than I thought it would be, even though it works exactly the way it’s supposed to. I put the food in the bowl, turn the handle, and the puree comes out through the disk. I have to turn the handle in the opposite direction and scrape down the sides periodically, but that’s no big deal. My biggest problem is that I find it awkward to hold the mill and turn the handle at the same time, which is why I’ve been using my food processor more than this food mill.
The verdict: The Cuispro Stainless Steel Food Mill does a great job, and I will continue to use it on foods like potatoes, which I can’t put into the food processor. But most of the other baby foods will go into my food processor, which is much easier to use. If I could go back in time, I would just get the Kidco baby food mill- it had gotten good reviews when I was deciding which mill to buy, and is a lot cheaper to boot!

Just as CNN was beginning its climate town hall event, President Donald Trump tweeted a list of “8 facts” boasting of the nation’s air quality and carbon emissions reductions. Several of his “facts,” however, are inaccurate or misleading.
In a July 31 television interview, Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson inaccurately implied there might be a connection between vaccines and higher reported rates of childhood chronic diseases. She is correct that reported rates of chronic conditions in kids have increased over the last several decades, but there is no scientific evidence to suggest vaccines are the cause.
Q: When is the human heart fully developed, and when are heartbeats audible during pregnancy?
A: A developing heart has all of its primary structures after about nine weeks of pregnancy. Some forms of ultrasound can detect cardiac activity in an embryo in the sixth week, but a heartbeat wouldn’t be audible until about 10 weeks on a Doppler fetal monitor.
President Donald Trump has repeatedly questioned the economics of wind energy, saying that wind “doesn’t work” without subsidies. Experts have differing assessments of that. By some metrics, wind power is already competitive with fossil fuels without subsidies. But other measures don’t come to the same conclusion.

The last member of the Burari Bhatias, who were found hanging at their home three weeks ago, dropped dead last weekend. Tommy, the seven-year-old dog, had been kept out of the family’s bizarre rituals by being tied up on the terrace in advance. At the time, dog experts had said that he might have saved the family if he’d been with them, by alerting neighbours with continuous barking or perhaps even interfering with the proceedings. “He is a pitbull-Indian mixed breed and these dogs are very loyal to their families,” said Sanjay Mohapatra, who runs an animal shelter in Noida and took Tommy in when he was found abandoned.
The dog was rather aggressive (needing a muzzle) and unwell (running the high fever, and suffering from a skin infection) when he began living at the shelter. With time, his physical health improved and his aggression decreased, but he stayed depressed. That was to be expected. He’d spent many years with the family, and no doubt understood that something was wrong. But exactly how depressed he became clear only when he gave up and died. The doctors say it was shocking, leading to a cardiac arrest. I believe he died of a broken heart.
He wouldn’t be the first. Last November, a dog, who was abandoned at Palonegro airport in Colombia, spent a month wandering around the terminal hoping to be reunited with her owner. When her aunt turned out to be in vain, she stopped eating, sank into depression and died. From movies, books and our own experiences, we know that dogs mourn their owners’ passing. Some wail plaintively near their beds; others keep vigil at the door. And those are in the case of a single owner. Imagine the plight of a dog whose universe—the 11 persons he loves and lives with—is destroyed in one fell swoop. How does he recover from that?
If there was proof needed that Tommy may have stood in the way of the Bhatias’ death (if he wasn’t tied elsewhere), it came this week from Learning & Behavior. The scientific journal carries a report of a recent study that shows dogs rush to help their owners when they hear them crying. Prior studies have found dogs to be responsive to human suffering. This is the first to show them actually doing something about it.
For the experiment, the researchers put dogs of various breeds and sizes on one side of a clear door and their owners on the other. The latter was then asked to wail and shout ‘Help’ or to hum Twinkle, twinkle little star. The outcome? Many dogs pushed open the door, but the ones who heard their owner wailing did so thrice as fast as the others.
The dogs’ stress levels were measured during the exercise. The dogs who pushed through the door to ‘rescue’ their owners showed less stress, meaning they were upset by the crying, but not too upset to take action. As for the dogs who didn’t push open the door, it wasn’t because they didn’t care—indeed, they cared too much. Their stress levels showed them to be too troubled by the crying to do anything about it. Wonder which category Tommy would have fallen into.

Complete Cyber Protection
Our IC360 Platform is orchestrated and automated by our advanced Security Orchestration, Automation & Response (SOAR) software connected to leading-edge auto-containment and auto-remediation modules.
The solution covers the entire framework of the internationally accepted ISO27001, NIST 800-53 and the Cyber Security Capability Maturity Model (C2M2) by incorporating the Cyber Standards and Stages of Assess; Prevent; Detect; React; and Remedy.
IC360 is a hybrid of machine intelligence and human intelligence. It is a unique cyber security operating system that uses machine reasoning, machine learning, robotic process automation. It creates the most sophisticated cyber oversight capability available by providing 360-degree coverage of all threat aspects.
The IC360 Platform architecture is built for adaptability and change. It can ingest and parse disparate data sources of intelligence, threat, and remediation information. On the technology side, it can easily integrate with and, if required, replace software modules as the technologies mature. Unlike traditional solutions, clients will never be locked into a single software provider or architecture.
The Cyber Systems Integrator
IC360 operating system uses four levels of AI to determine whether the machine will be allowed to intervene autonomously.
First, we apply a set of rules created for specific client circumstances.
Second, we use Machine Reasoning via a software system that generates conclusions from available knowledge using logical techniques such as deduction and induction (sometimes called fuzzy logic).
Third, we use additional Machine Learning to improve reasoning based on an understanding of the outcome.
Narrow Artificial Intelligence
Finally, we use Narrow Artificial Intelligence for learning and understanding performance based on trends over hours and days rather than seconds & minutes.
The machine will be allowed to automatically intervene if all these criteria are met. This results in an order-of-magnitude improvement in the rate of “false positives” compared to traditional approaches. When the criteria are not met, the case is passed for immediate human intervention; hence the Hybrid approach of human and machine.
Overall this enables IC360 to handle most cases in milliseconds, and the remainder of cases within two minutes, with an error rate that is negligibly small. We use this approach for both Vulnerability Management (auto remediation) and Compromise Management (auto containment).

Please know that it's nearly impossible for a Lauii of this size to ship without any damage to its farina, but we will do our very best to protect it from our hands to yours. She measures in at about 3.75" at her widest point. She has been ordered, but please allow up to two weeks for shipping.
Presales are offered with free shipping. Expect shipping in about two weeks' time. If you are unfamiliar with how our presales work please click here for our policies.
A little note about color intensity: Please note it is very cold in South Korea still and some of the hue intensity you see here may be related to cold stress and watering schedule (thirsty plants look the brightest). Sometimes the succulents lose a little bit of this color in transit and in warmer temps. Rest assured these photos have not been enhanced, but there is a slight possibility that once the succulent arrives the hue intensity may be slightly different, but the color intensity will return with colder temps and stress.
Sorry, currently out of stock

6 Books Changing Veganism in 2017
Want to change the way you think about a plant-based life? Pick up a book.
Growing up as the daughter of Ukrainian immigrants, I rarely sat down to a dinner table that wasn’t dressed with plates full of smoked meats, red caviar, or kotleti. But after I read Jonathan Safran Foer’s book Eating Animals, I stopped consuming animal-derived products and became an ethical vegan. Making this life-altering decision is just one of the many reasons why I love to read. Fiction or nonfiction, a thoughtful piece of writing can inspire and even change our perspectives in an instant. Because of this, I’m always looking for new books to help shape and redefine my thoughts on veganism. Based on my research, here are six vegan-related titles I’m adding to my reading list this year to help me stay inspired and “vegucated.”
1. What a Fish Knows: The Inner Lives of Our Underwater Cousins
Just how complex is the mind of a fish? According to the findings of fish ethologist Jonathan Balcombe, the answer is “very.” Fish can strategize, learn mazes more quickly than dogs can, and change their sexes to maintain social order. They’re intelligent, and the way in which humans use and often abuse them affects them more deeply than previously understood. In regards to the book, the Dalai Lama writes that Balcombe “vividly shows that fish have feelings and deserve consideration and protection like other sentient beings.”
2. The Soul of an Octopus
Many writers have likened the eight-armed, color-changing, ink-expelling, remarkably intelligent octopus to an alien, but few have admired the creature’s uniqueness in the way that Sy Montgomery does in The Soul of an Octopus, a National Book Award Finalist in 2015 that’ll make you think twice about ordering calamari or sannakji. In an interview with the National Book Foundation, Montgomery says, “what surprised me most was that a creature so unlike us was clearly capable of forming bonds with humans, and that my relationships with each individual octopus changed forever the way I understand what it means to think, to feel, and to know.”
3. A Dog’s Purpose
A Dog’s Purpose is told from the first-person perspective of a dog who contemplates the meaning of life and the human-dog connection throughout several reincarnations of himself. If that isn’t enough to draw you in, here’s something: the book has already caught the attention of animal-welfare activists after controversy surrounded the movie version. Plus, it’s a New York Times best-seller and favorite of animal lovers everywhere.
4. The Reducetarian Solution: How the Surprisingly Simple Act of Reducing the Amount of Meat in Your Diet Can Transform Your Health and the Planet
If you’re not vegan, the idea of eliminating meat, fish, eggs, and dairy entirely might overwhelm you. To remedy this, author Brian Kateman proposes that you become a “reducetarian”—just make an effort to eat less meat. In his book, readers find essays written by Peter Singer, Victoria Moran, and Seth Godin; vegan, vegetarian, and “less meat”-filled recipes; and reasons for taking the reducetarian plunge. Noam Chomsky calls it “a practical way to address the moral case for animal rights, sparing farm animals from suffering, and preserving the environment from destruction." The Reducetarian Solution is available for preorder and will be released in April.
5. Up to This Pointe
In this young adult novel by Jennifer Longo, an aspiring ballet dancer ventures to Alaska after her dreams of joining the San Francisco Ballet are crushed. The reason this book is on this list? Harper, the protagonist, is a vegetarian. Even though the plot isn’t focused around vegan issues, it supports the cause to have veg-friendly characters represented in fiction. So if you know a teen, you might recommend to them what Booklist calls “an adventure story with lots of heart”—or just enjoy this book yourself.
6. The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers Are Transforming the Lives of Animals
If you’ve ever wanted to better understand the impact that businesses and public policies have on animal industries—and how consumers can create a more humane planet—Wayne Pacelle’s 2016 book is for you. United States Senator Cory Booker (NJ) calls it “a brilliant book that celebrates the truth: our economic wellbeing is inextricably linked to the wellbeing of animals. This book is an important moral and pragmatic blueprint for humane, enlightened prosperity for all.” The paperback edition of The Humane Economy is available for preorder and will be released in March of 2017.
Steph Spector is the director of contests and conferences at Gotham Writers Workshop and the founder/creative director of Karuṇā, a writing residency located on Animal Care Sanctuary.

Organic gardening is also cheap for the most part. Here are some helpful techniques to help you to become a organic gardening professional.
Your children can help you with your organic gardening endeavors. A garden can provide a wonderful learning experience for children, and it gives you a chance to bond while producing healthy food.
Plant strawberries for your children in the organic garden.Children love to snap up these sweet juicy fruits for themselves and will be more willing to eat other foods you’ve planted as well.
Keep your tools close by to maximize gardening efficiency.
After your seeds sprout, they require less warmth than they did prior to sprouting. Check on your seeds periodically to make sure you catch them when to remove the films.
Have plastic bags on hand so that you may cover your muddy gardening shoes if they are muddy.
Try to avoid letting your organic garden build up. If your busy life prevents you from tending your garden every day, there are still a number of things you can do to keep things from falling into disarray during your absence. For example, pluck weeds while you take your dog outside or before getting in your car.
An old laundry basket makes a great for gathering produce from your harvest. The laundry basket will make a great strainer when you wash your vegetables.
Your compost pile should contain green plants and dry plant materials. Green plant material can include old flowers, fruit waste, grass clippings, weeds, and fruit and vegetable waste. Dried plant material, cardboard, sawdust, sawdust and shredded paper. Avoid ashes, meat, diseased plants and meat-eating animal manure.
Do you want to get rid of weeds without using commercial chemicals?You will need many layers of newspapers in order to provide proper weed control. Weeds can only grow without sunlight. The layers of newspaper will block sunlight and weeds because they no longer receive any sunlight. Newspapers break down into compost nicely.You can add mulch to make them look more attractive if you like!
Fill the jar up with beer to an inch below the jar’s top. Slugs are attracted to the beer and become trapped in the jar once they enter.
Create raised beds with stone, bricks or untreated wood.Choose wood that is naturally resistant to rot and does not contain any chemicals. Some good choices you might consider are locust, cypress, and cedar. In a veggie garden, avoid using treated wood to enclose or demarcate different sections of your vegetable garden.If you have already used lumber that is treated, consider using a liner to keep chemicals out of the soil.
Adjust your watering to the season and current climate. For instance, in warm and balmy locations, refrain from watering the leaves, as this will inevitably invite leaf fungus.
You may be able to skip watering for an entire day if rain is on the way.
The best option available to water an organic garden is with a soaker hoses.
You need to know the correct way to create planting beds if you want to make a bed that is efficient for your plants. You can make a bed by slicing underneath the turf with a spade. After doing this, flip the dirt upside down, then cover the area using three to four inches of some woods chips. Leave it for a couple of weeks and work it up so you can plant.
By implementing the advice that is in this article, you can expect to have a healthy, toxic free, productive garden in the very near future. Organic gardens are also more attractive to a variety of wildlife, who appreciate the chemical free environment.

A new state program approved by the legislature and green-lighted by Governor Rick Scott permits the arming of school teachers and staff. But the Palm Beach County School Board has voted not to participate in the program, opting instead to continue with armed school police officers. The district will also comply with specific measures in order to gain their part of Florida state safety and mental health monies.
Deciding not to take part in the teacher-arming program, named for Parkland shooting victim Coach Aaron Feis, means that the district will have no access to any part of the $67 million allocated for training school personnel through county sheriff’s departments.
According to published articles, the school board is hoping that if very few Florida counties choose to participate in the plan, schools may be allowed to use the money for alternative security purposes.
Palm Beach County will take full advantage of their portion of the $6 million set aside to place a police officer in every school, including charter schools. The move will likely increase the county’s needs by another 75 police officers.
The district will also use their allotment of the $4.1 million intended to improve mental health care in schools.
As part of the requirements of the new state law, the Palm Beach County School Board decided to direct up to $45,000 toward a consultant to assess school security countywide. The county is required to have the assessment completed by August 1 in order to tap into the $99 million available for making safety improvements to school buildings.
The law also requires the district to undergo a threat assessment performed in each school by September 1. The district intends to comply within the time frame.

The City of Merzougua
Location, demographics and climate. The city of Merzouga is a small town of the Kingdom of Morocco. This small city is located in the south-eastern region of the country. It is 50 km from Erfoud and 50 km from the Algerian border (https://goo.gl/maps/z79CHERqbEs72SrNA).
The climate of the city of Merzouga is of desertic type.
The average annual temperature is 21.7 °C. January is the coldest month in the city of Merzouga. January has an average temperature of 10.7 °C, while July, the hottest month, has an average temperature of 34.4 °C. The average annual rainfall is 59 mm.
History. Like Erfoud, the history of the town of Merzouga is fairly recent. It is following the victory of the French troops during the battle of Tafilalet from 1916 to 1932 that the city was founded by the troops of the occupying forces. However, several fortified villages have existed in the region for several centuries.
Nowadays, Merzouga has become a major tourist attraction in the region.
Tourist places. Famous for its gold-coloured sand dunes along the Erg Chebbi, the small town of Merzouga contains many small treasures often unknown to the public. Here are the main places and tourist activities that we recommend walks in the oasis of Merzouga, excursions in the palm grove of Tafilalet, gnawa music and culture in the village of Khamila a few kilometers from Merzouga, camel rides in the desert, Dayet Srji lake, Souk of Ressani, mosques and ksours of Ressani, discovery of fossils of the region, Gorges of Todra and Dades.
The region also offers quad biking in the desert and sand baths or arena therapy cures which are very effective in treating rheumatism.
