Blockchain payment company Gamecredits has released a revolutionary peer to peer smart token known as MobileGo which is set to go live in Q2-Q3 of 2017, furthering connections between Blockchain technology and the gaming industry.
The MobileGo token will be issued on both the Ethereum and Waves Blockchains offering several new mobile gaming technologies. These features include mobile gamer to gamer match play, decentralized tournaments run by gamers, and a decentralized virtual marketplace where gamers can trade virtual items and in-game content. Accordingly, a crowdfund for MobileGo is tentatively planned for April, opening an incredible opportunity for Blockchain investors.
The MobileGo token crowdsale will be promoted in both the West and China. As of right now, China is the only country where over 200 successful third-party mobile game stores exist.
MobileGo tokens will also be used to gamify the Gamecredits Mobile Store. Gamers will have a profile in the store and will have the chance to earn benefits such as purchase discounts and free sponsored tournament entries. Rewards will be earned through profile status, which will be achieved with, among other things, MobileGo token ownership.
The idea for creating the MobileGo token was triggered by the necessity for peer to peer gaming. Using MobileGo will enable gamers to host and manage their own gaming tournaments and matches. Such a technology cuts out the middleman and allows gamers to have the freedom and flexibility they desire. This simple yet revolutionary idea was only possible with the creation of a new smart contract token like MobileGo.
The Gamecredits Mobile Store has been in development for two years and currently has over 300 games and 150 developers signed on for its launch. Gamecredits cryptocurrency (GAME) will remain the core coin used for all game and in-game content purchases. GAME is also the centerpiece of the new Gamecredits payment gateway released last month to the gaming industry.
“We are excited to expand our roadmap to included these decentralized solutions,” says VP of Business Development for Gamecredits, Inc. Sergey Sholom. “As successful game developers for the last 13 years we know that to achieve consumer adoption of crypto, we need to give gamers choices, help them save money and make their experience more rewarding and exciting.”
With the centralization of mobile gaming stores outside of China, MobileGo hopes to offer gamers more control over their experiences. The ability to trade digital items and tournament matches are things players cannot find on mobile platforms such as Google Play and Apple Store.
The official MobileGo Token crowd sale is set to launch Early Q2 2017. To find out more, it’s possible to visit https://mobilego.io

Now, the company is celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the GT with the announcement that it will cross the pond and launch in the U.S. with a price tag around $753,000 (based on current exchange rates).
The Speedback GT will make its first appearance at the Quail Rally Welcome Reception in August at the Quail Lodge in California, and will also participate in the Rally on August 11-12. "The Quail is the ideal venue to exhibit Speedback GT, with its luxurious, elegant, classic setting that encapsulate the car's virtues and is full of true car enthusiasts," said founder and CEO David Brown, in a statement.
The David Brown Automotive Speedback GT gets power from a 5.0-liter V-8 supercharged engine that delivers 510 hp and 461 lb-ft of torque, offering up a 0-60 mph time of just 4.6 seconds. The top speed comes in at 155 mph.
After much success in Europe in terms of both sales and media reception, the Speedback GT enters the U.S. market. Hand-built in Coventry, the car features traditional British materials and craftsmanship, with every model made to order. Special touches include hand-formed panels and a hand-crafted interior, along with fold-down picnic seats and other special features.

Rating: 4.3/5 (54 votes)
An English Chemist and Mathematician – John Dalton was the first person to scientifically prove that matter consists of indivisible discrete particles. Dalton developed anatomic theory in 1803, which proposed that: Elements are made of extremely small particles called atoms.
Who invented Proton? Rutherford
How big is a atom? An atom is the smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that constitutes a chemical element. Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms. Atoms are extremely small; typical sizes are around 100 picometers (1×10−10 m, a ten-millionth of a millimeter, or 1/254,000,000 of an inch).
What is the charge of an atom? An atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons. The number of protons found in the nucleus equals the number of electrons that surround it, giving theatom a neutral charge (neutrons have zero charge).

The Flip or Flop star and his new girlfriend went public with their relationship earlier this month
The couple stepped out for dinner in West Hollywood on Tuesday night, the night before El Moussa’s 38th birthday.
The lovebirds looked happy as ever and were snapped walking to dinner hand-in-hand. For the date night, El Moussa opted for an all-black look while Young, 31, wore a figure-hugging, bright pink dress with a denim jacket, accessorized with nude heels and black purse.
Last week, the pair sat down with PeopleTV’s Reality Check for their first interview as a couple after going public with their relationship on Instagram.
“We’ve been spending a lot of time together … and we just have so much fun,” El Moussa told PEOPLE.
“We really focus on having fun and living life and just enjoying each other’s company. And going out to dinner, and going boating, and….I’m talking too much because I’m excited,” the Flip or Flop star gushed.
Young echoed her boyfriend and told PEOPLE they love to do “normal fun things together,” whether that’s going out to dinner or watching a movie. She also revealed that the couple takes turns visiting each other, as Young lives in Los Angeles while El Moussa resides in his new Orange County “bachelor-dad” pad.
But El Moussa makes use of the distance to plan romantic surprises for Young. He revealed that one weekend he sent his boat up to L.A. to surprise the Selling Sunset star.
“He’s been very romantic, it’s been very amazing,” she told PEOPLE. “All happiness and smiles.”
Young recently hinted that she was open to the idea of moving closer to her boyfriend after taking part in an Instagram Q&A on Friday where a fan asked whether she’d consider moving to a different city.
“Orange County 😉 hehe,” she responded, noting she’d “definitely always have a place in L.A.”
The reality stars began dating around the Fourth of July after meeting through mutual friends and were spotted kissing and cuddling on a yacht at the Portofino Hotel & Marina in Redondo Beach, California, on July 29, according to photos obtained by TMZ.
El Moussa’s divorce from Christina Anstead was finalized in January 2018, though they still appear together on Flip or Flop. The HGTV duo publicly split in December 2016, and Christina has since remarried and is expecting her first child with husband Ant Anstead.

PREMIER - Thomas Frank on being linked with United and Arsenal
Thomas Frank, the Brentford manager, says he's flattered to be linked with Arsenal and Manchester United.
Due to Brentford's successful first months in the Premier League, the Danish press has connected Frank with both titans.
"These are rumours," Frank told Bold. "So I understand that, but… Arsenal and United? Wasn't that how it was? I think I've read it before. It's very nice, but rumours are one thing and it's something else if they really want to contact me. I take it from there.
"One: I have a contract until 2023. Two: I'm very happy to be in Brentford. A club that means a lot to me and where I have had fantastic moments. I enjoy working with our sports managers, owners, players, staff and fans."

As of last week, Associate Director of Athletics of Operations Cory Driskill has assumed all duties as the new interim director of athletics for ACU.
Driskill will temporarily take over after former athletic director, Jared Mosley, accepted a position with the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in Waco as President and CEO.
“It’s really a great opportunity for myself and I’m really excited,” Driskill said. “Jared did such a great job in leading this program for the 11 years that he was here. There’s such a great staff here, and I’m just glad to be here and excited to continue to progress through the fall semester.”
Driskill will act as full-time director of athletics while President Phil Schubert and other ACU faculty and staff continue to search for a permanent replacement.
“I have not been involved with the search,”Driskill said. “That has been primarily Dr. Schubert so far and individuals across campus that he has included. He keeps us updated, and I have full confidence that he will bring in someone that is a perfect fit for ACU and someone who really exhibits everything this university stands for.”
Before his new role, Driskill was appointed as Associate Director of Athletics of Operations for ACU in July 2013. He was originally hired in May 2008 as the Head Athletics Trainer. As AD of Athletics of Operations, Driskill was in charge of facilities, ACU’s three fundraising golf tournaments, a fundraising portfolio focused primarily in Abilene and oversight of athletics training, strength and conditioning.
Driskill said he and Mosley had numerous conversations preparing him for Mosley’s resignation and Driskill’s new role.
“I feel like Jared, over the past year, had been preparing me for this new administrative role,” Driskill said. “So when he told me that he would be accepting the job in Waco, it was really bittersweet, but I felt prepared to step in and continue for the time being. I want to keep this athletic department rolling in the direction that Jared and so many others have worked so hard to move.”

The Society asks all its members to elect a new Secretary of the IPPS by August 12, 2020 using the following link: https://forms.gle/kjukWEqFuHQvTXfX6
The nominees for this position are:
(in alphabetical order of their family name)
– Dr. Ahmet Auludag, Professor at Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Turkey
– Dr Mónica Fernández-Aparicio, Researcher at Institute for Sustainable Agriculture, CSIC, in Córdoba, Spain
– Dr. Airong Li, Professor at Kunming Institute of Botany, China
Short Biographies of the Nominees
Airong Li is Professor of Plant Conservation Biology at Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Her research interests focus on understanding rhizosphere interactions between root hemiparasitic plants and their biotic (host plants, soil microorganisms) as well as abiotic environments (soil nutrient and water conditions). A specific focus of her research is the root hemiparasitic Pedicularis species that infect the forage crops of Western China causing substantial losses in yield. At present she is exploiting ecological approaches to investigate the impacts of Pedicularis on the ecosystems where the hemiparasites occur. She is also taking physiological and chemical approaches to study the regulation mechanisms of the interactions in order to understand the basis of the rhizosphere processes accounting for population expansion of weedy Pedicularis species. Airong is the local organizer of the 13thWorld Congress on Parasitic Plants held in Kunming in July 2015.
Dr. Mónica Fernández-Aparicio received her PhD in Agricultural Engineering from Córdoba University, Spain in 2008, and since then she has worked as a post-doc and scientist in several universities and research institutes in United States (Virginia Tech and Virginia University), Japan (Utsunomiya University), France (INRA-Dijon) and Spain (IAS-CSIC). She dedicated her career to plant-pathogens with emphasis in biology and control of parasitic weeds, especially broomrape. Because conventional control does not contain their expansion, her objective is to increase the diversity of solutions that properly combined in strategies of integrated pest management could achieve efficacious and sustainable plant protection. For its development, the study of the parasite is essential and, therefore, her work addresses the biology of infection: host-induced parasitic germination and haustorium initiation. Regarding their control, Monica’s work is mainly focused in the characterization of new sources of resistance and the identification of new orobanchicidal molecules. Her work also intends to protect the sustainability of resistance resources and environmental-compatible orobanchicidal ingredients by reducing the chances of the parasite to adapt to them using complementary mechanisms of allelopathy and suicidal germination in intercrop or cover crops and biological control or stimulation of defense in main crops.
Professor Ahmet Auludag is a professor of weed science and invasive alien plants in the Plant Protection Department of Faculty of Agriculture, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Turkey. He has dealt with parasitic plants, mainly broomrapes and Cuscuta in crops. He organized the international parasitic plant symposium in 2010 and served as a Member at Large in the Executive Committee before, and now he would like to serve the society as the secretary. He believes that he can contribute to parasitic plant research and the society with his experience and international connections.

Add coconut oil to the pan until melted. Add the following vegetables (onions, carrots, courgettes, spring onions) Fry for about 3-4 minutes, until soft.
Spoon the veg to the side of the pan and crack the egg into one half of the pan. Wait for the egg to cook and then scramble the egg with a wooden spoon. When cooked mix the egg to the rest of the vegetables.
Add the coconut milk and the seasoning and cook for a further minute. Add the spinach and basil leaves, and you can either serve straight away or wait for the spinach to wilt and then serve. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

WASHINGTON (The Deal) -- The heads of AT&T (T) - Get AT&T Inc. Report and DirecTVGroup (DTV) on Tuesday twice defended their planned $67 billion merger from critics who said that service enhancements the companies vow will accompany the deal offer little benefit to consumers.
Those critical of the deal contend that the companies are promising little more than upgrades to expansion plans they already had in the works before the deal was announced.
The scrutiny of the companies' plans to form an integrated entity better able to offer bundled telecom and satellite TV services happened during two separate hearings on Capitol Hill -- the first in the morning by the House Judiciary's antitrust subcommittee and then in the afternoon by the House panel's Senate counterpart.
John Bergmayer, senior staff attorney for Public Knowledge, a public interest group focused on telecom and digital information issues, said the merger could only contribute to the continuing consolidation of the telecom industry with very little payoff for consumers. Bergmayer said the public interest benefits the companies have offered to secure approval from the Department of Justice and the Federal Communications Commission are mostly system improvements the companies would undertake anyway.
"AT&T has history of using its existing plans as a merger promise," Bergmayer told the committee. He noted that in 2011 when AT&T was attempting to buy T-Mobile USA it committed to cover 250 million Americans with long term evolution technology (LTE), also known as 4G networks, by the end of 2013. By the end of 2013, however, AT&T covered 270 million Americans with LTE even though a DOJ lawsuit resulted in AT&T terminating the merger. That AT&T not only met, but exceeded, its promise shows that its claims that a merger was necessary to improve service must be viewed with skepticism, he said.
"When you strip away previously-announced plans, even AT&T's best case for this merger is less than it appears," Bergmayer said. "For the most part, AT&T is simply stating that it will upgrade portions of its network. That is not much. For instance, adding a new kind of home wireless service to an existing wireless coverage area is not as significant an investment as an initial wireless build-out."
In order to convince the regulators that the deal will benefit consumers, AT&T is offering to abide by the FCC's previous net neutrality rules for three years and build out their broadband service to 15 million additional homes, primarily in rural areas. It is also offering to allow customers who only want a broadband service to continue obtaining video through streaming services like Netflix or Hulu at speeds of at least 6 Mbps (megabits per second) in areas where AT&T now offers wireline IP broadband service. Prices for that service will be guaranteed for three years after closing. AT&T also has pledged not alter its plans to bid at least $9 billion in the FCC's spectrum auctions later this year and in 2015.
But Bergmayer said those promises are insufficient. "Based on the record so far, AT&T has not met its burden." The rollout will likely leave rural areas with an inferior wireless broadband product and may allow AT&T to expand broadband video service delivered in a discriminatory way as compared to urban markets. He also warned that in more than 60 markets where AT&T offers its U-Verse pay TV service, consumers would be losing an option from which to choose. "The three-year price pledge doesn't address the structural problem caused by higher concentration," he said.
To the extent AT&T is offering to add some new services, Bergmayer warned that "AT&T has a spotty record with regard to past merger commitments." He contended that AT&T failed to live up to promises made in regard to its 2006 merger with BellSouth Inc., when AT&T committed to providing broadband to 100% of the residences in its wireline footprint. "This commitment included a promise to provide wireline broadband to 85% of the residences. Yet by 2012, promises of future broadband buildout were still on the table."
AT&T chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson and DirecTV chairman and CEO Michael White didn't let the criticism go unchallenged. As to the claim that the BellSouth commitments have been unfilled, he said Bergmayer was basing his attack on a Huffington Post blog that has since been discredited. "We fully complied with every single condition imposed in that merger," he said.
DirecTV's White said that the companies' plans for bundled service and broadband expansion could not be carried out without the merger. "The only way for us to get a seamless, integrated bundle," is to have one company "that can spread the cost over that one install."
White added, "So, for us, every time we sign up a new customer, we spend $850. We can probably reduce that by 20% with a one call, one truck roll, build the router into the set-top box."
The companies' chiefs also had to defend their plans against criticism from Ross Lieberman, senior vice president of governmental affairs at the American Cable Association, the trade group for small cable operators. Lieberman said because of DirecTV's control of regional sports networks in several cities and its interests in some other national networks, it is also a programmer. Therfore, merging with AT&T would give it more leverage to drive up programming prices. "This gives Direct TV an economic incentive and ability to charge its rivals higher fees for its programming, especially its regional sports networks," he said.
Stephensen rejected the assertion that the deal will lead to higher programming costs as well. He said because the combined company will have more diffuse sources of revenue it will have more leverage to resist price increases from programmers.

▶ Concerts expérimentaux.
? @R_Bachelot : “Sous réserve qu’on ne soit pas dans une situation sanitaire catastrophique.”
— LCI (@LCI) February 15, 2021
France’s culture sector has suffered big economic losses due to the Covid health crisis, with concert halls, theatres, cinemas and museums closed for months as part of the government’s strategy to curb the spread of the virus.
The government has taken criticism for leaving the sector behind, with critics arguing that culture is essential too, equal to fromageries and wine-cellars, which were allowed to stay open during the lockdowns in spring and autumn of 2020.
While book shops quickly reopened as the government eased restrictions to boost sales before Christmas, concert halls and other venues gathering big crowds are extra tricky because of their high risk-factor.
But the culture minister said she was optimistic about finding a solution to let seated concerts go ahead under safe circumstances, and that she hoped to reproduce the model for festivals this summer.
“I am very optimistic for seated festivals,” she said. “For standing shows, it’s more complicated, that’s why I’m experimenting, and these experiments are meant to really test what’s going on.”
The two concerts in Marseille will be held in the concert hall Dôme with a 1,000 sitting spectators, who will have “the possibility to stand up”, Bachelot said.
Everyone will be tested before the concert, the minister said, and organisers will distribute face masks and hand sanitising gel.
In Paris, between 3,000 and 5,000 people will be allowed into Accor Arena for a “standing concert” held in partnership with the Paris public hospital group AP-HP and the national research institute Inserm, which will be testing and tracing the event.
Everyone will have to wear a protective face mask throughout the concerts. According to organisers in Paris the tracing app TousAntiCovid will function as a health pass, with proof of a PCR test result from less than 72 hours prior to the event – similar to the method used for international travel.
No exact date has yet been set for either of the concerts as it will depend on how the health situation develops until then.

Coming forward about issues such as sexual harassment is not an easy thing to do. Sometimes people don't believe you, other times they ridicule you. This is one of the biggest reasons why women who lived this type of experience don't always speak out.
When 18-year-old Emily Houser from Pennsylvania reported her manager at Chili's for sexual harassment, things only got worse.
It all started two years ago when the restaurant hired Josh Davidson as manager. Josh, who was 8 years her senior, quickly developed a crush on the teenager and began to pursue her.
"Over a two-year period, it just kind of escalated into him providing me with gifts of significance and money and flowers and cards and things that I wasn’t really accepting of, things that made me extremely uncomfortable because I was not sure what he expected of me from these gifts," Emily told Buzzfeed.
Despite her refusal, Josh kept making advances and even asked Emily to be his girlfriend on her 18th birthday. He simply wouldn't take no for an answer.
"In August, the last time he showed up to my house around 2:30 in the morning, he gave me a card with hundreds of dollars in it, to which I gave it back and kind of told him to just really back off of me, because I was so obviously not interested in him and did not want to be with him," she said.
Soon after the final rejection, Josh started to verbally and physically abuse the teenager at work. Emily tried to keep the situation under wraps, but when Josh started to take interest in another innocent girl, she decided it was time to speak out. She reported everything to the higher-ups which resulted in an investigation and Josh's eventual transfer to another Chili's location.
After news of Josh's relocation leaked, Emily's coworkers threw him goodbye party complete with a cake iced with "Fuck Emily Houser." Some of her colleagues posted pictures from the gathering on Instagram with awful comments like "Have your cake and eat it too hoe #petty."
"I didn’t know how to feel, except I just didn’t really feel anything," Emily said. "And then I just started to cry, because I came to terms with the fact that I did call these people my friends and I did love them and care about them, and I have no idea why they were doing this to me."
The teen reported the actions of the staff to the corporate office and Chili's has since conducted a thorough investigation and fired the employees who were involved.
Emily told Buzzfeed that she didn't come forward for personal gain or attention, "I just want the people that were involved to understand what they are doing, and what they did to someone."
"I just want them to stop, because this is the kind of thing that people commit suicide over."
What do you think of Emily's story? Let us know in the comments!

The Creator of the Second Dimension - Chapter 207
Chapter 206 .Refuse to commercialize
While the explosive income of the swimsuit pool has attracted many controversial topics, people are also paying more attention to the mobile game Hatsune Games will launch in August, “Hatsune Miku: Idol Master” and the third virtual singer that follows.
However, before this, the annual animation selection is still the most enthusiastic topic of discussion among animation practitioners and audiences.
This year, Rainbow Media has “City of Giants” directed by Wu Yi, a masterpiece with both topicality and depth of thought, as well as “Wall of Masterpieces” and “Boundary Lines on the Horizon”, which are highly entertaining and are sold well. “Pure White Narcissus”, which was left behind in the history of animation, is full of discussions.
In mid-August, after attending the annual animation conference as usual, Xu Rui did not appear at the Phantom Animation booth in the afternoon. Their face-to-face meeting was scheduled for tomorrow.
In the afternoon, Xu Rui was able to have a half-day gap, enough to accompany Yi Qianqian to stroll around in the exhibition.
Today’s Yi Qianqian wears a water-blue, as thin as a gauze, layered long skirt, top and a light white coat, wearing white high-heeled sandals, which looks a bit like a lady. feel.
Xu Rui is a normal T-shirt and jeans, as always.
The two went to the fan game area first. Zhou Zun’s fantasy series is still very popular. This barrage game has unexpectedly become popular after the Ningjiang Man Show three years ago. This year, it has maintained the frequency of once a year, and it has become A famous player in the fan game industry.
This year, Zhou Zun’s work is called “Fantasy Eternal Night Copy”. This time he put the creative center in mythology, using the background of foreign mythology.
The booth is still hot, and, along with the fame of the fantasy series, and Zhou Zun was originally a fan author, he did not interfere with the second creation of the work. Therefore, the fan second creation of the fantasy series in the Ningjiang Man Exhibition The number of works has also increased, and it is not limited to drawing fandom. From music covers to fighting games, there are RPGs produced by open source engines, and it is a grand occasion.
Due to the popularity of the work, as early as the morning, Zhou Zun’s games were sold out, and now only a part of them are sold scattered around. Even so, the queues are endless.
Xu Rui and Yi Qianqian saw so many people, they wanted to visit again later, but Zhou Zun at the booth recognized them at a glance.
“Please wait a minute.”
Zhou Zun handed over the sales affairs to his companions, walked around behind the booth, holding a copy of his own game in his hand.
“Director Xu, Miss Yi, long time no see.”
Although Zhou Zun was older than Xu Rui, he still looked respectful and handed them the game.
“This is the game I made this year. Although the official version has been sold out, I left some as a giveaway.”
“It seems that your game is selling pretty well.”
Xu Rui took the CD, looked at the girl with a bun face painted on the box, and put it away solemnly.
“That can’t be compared to Hatsune Games.”
Zhou Zun glanced at the phantom animation booth in the distance, and the big Hatsune Miku character board was standing on the side of the booth.
“Fans games are just a small mess after all, as long as it can make everyone happy.”
“Speaking of which, don’t you plan to commercialize the fantasy series?”
Xu Rui asked with emotion that after reaching a certain scale, many fan clubs will encounter problems of payment and income. After all, power generation with love is a minority. Commercialization or dissolution seems to be the final two destinations of many fan clubs.
“Commercialization is not unconsidered, but once the work is commercialized, it will be the work of investors rather than the works of players. There are also several commercialized societies in my circle. Our little hobby is in capital. It’s not worth mentioning before.”
Zhou Zun shook his head slightly bitterly, and Zhou Zun seemed to feel deeply moved.
“Of course, not all producers will encounter this kind of problem. Your company and works are very interesting. I am envious of being able to decide the content independently.”
“If you don’t mind, Hatsune Games can invest in your club and ensure your independent operation. After all, you also know that we are also invested in music games, and the music of the fantasy series is also praised.”
Xu Rui blurted out. In fact, he has always had the idea to incorporate Zhou Zun into his company. This creator is very good in both character shaping and musical attainments. If he is given a larger stage, he is bound to be able to show his superiority. The energy of imagination.
It’s just that he mentioned similar ideas before, and Zhou Zun declined it. Now it seems that the frustration experience of other fan clubs made him prejudiced.
“No, I don’t need it for the time being.”
Zhou Zun shook his head, then explained.
“Please don’t get me wrong, Director Xu, I’m not saying that you are like those capitals, but I always feel that comrades are more free to create. I am used to being casual, and my biggest hobby is drinking and drinking. Let me use it as a Career, to be honest, I’m not ready yet.”
He added, then spoke again.
“However, maybe one day I really can’t hold on, and want to save this series, maybe I will contact you, who knows, at least until that day, let me continue to have this dream.”
Zhou Zun shrugged. He glanced at another game booth not far away. It was also a game made by a fan club, but it had already received investment two years ago, and now various commercial projects are flying. There has even been an animation.
The three exchanged a few more words, Zhou Zun went back to his booth and continued to greet the guests. One could see that there was a busy woman in his booth who was helping Zhou Zun to wipe sweat with a towel. The two were very intimate. .
“He also has his own happiness.”
Yi Qianqian saw Xu Rui’s thoughts and said calmly.
Xu Rui nodded, and then turned his attention to the stall on the other side, the same popular fan game place.
“Speaking of which, I seem to have heard this game.”
He and Yi Qianqian walked towards there and saw the name of the game written on the signboard: “When Seagull Soars.”
“This is a reasoning and decryption game.”
Iqianqian said that the two approached to the promotional board, and they could see the detailed information of the game It was roughly the patriarch of a large family who was dying, and gathered a large family to come to the villa on the island. Then there was an accident on the cruise ship, a storm hit, everyone was trapped on the island, and then there was a murder, which is a bridge of ordinary reasoning.
But what’s interesting is that this game is released in chapters. In the first chapter, all the characters on the stage have been killed, and at the beginning of the second chapter, a witch appeared. The witch challenged the protagonist so that he could Review the entire incident and find out the answer.
The game has already had six chapters in this Ningjiang Man Show. This time, the seventh chapter is sold. According to publicity, the eighth chapter will be released in December. At the same time, the second season of the animation adaptation of the work will also be released. It will be broadcast in October, which means that the mystery finally revealed in the second season will appear simultaneously with the final chapter of the game.
This synchronous marketing method is very effective. Xu Rui saw that there was already a long line in front of the booth. After thinking about it, he still didn’t spend time in queuing.
“Hey, isn’t this director Xu Rui?”
Just as he was about to leave with Yi Qianqian, a person in the stall recognized Xu Rui and walked over with a sound.

What happens in Case of Emergency
September is National Emergency Preparedness Month. Do you have a plan in place to evacuate a multi-story building if the elevator goes out?
An out-of-order elevator presents a minor inconvenience for most people, but it’s a major challenge for wheelchair users. Add in an emergency evacuation, and the situation can become life-threatening.
While there are numerous resources and information available to plan for these situations, many wheelchair users and those who assist them are ill-prepared to navigate stairs in the case of an emergency or elevator outage.
“Situational awareness is the answer. Know if the building has ‘stair descent devices’ available and who will assist you to go down,” says Daniel Porth, human services coordinator for the Arizona Department of Emergency & Military Affairs (DEMA), Division of Emergency Management. “The most overlooked steps [when preparing for emergencies] include not taking personal responsibility for individual preparedness and not having situational awareness.”
Practice Makes Perfect
Stair descent devices include evacuation chairs, which are often located in the stairwells of multi-story schools, hospitals, government buildings, hotels and other buildings.
Unfortunately, these devices are often neglected until the evacuation situation presents itself, and this neglect can hinder a timely, efficient evacuation.

Scrum provides many opportunities to inspect a project and make the necessary adaptations to optimize the benefits the project will secure for the organization. However, those responsible for making the adaptation must have adequate information if they are to make the best decisions. In the case of MegaBank, Julie and Ed didn’t have enough information to decide whether to stick with a seven-month project schedule or to force a shorter schedule on the team in order to stick to the initial estimate of five months. In the absence of cost and benefit data, they went with prior commitments.
In distinct contrast, there was enough data to quantify the costs and benefits of the alternatives open to the MLB commissioner. Unfortunately, even in the presence of this data, very few teams take advantage of it. Most are so used to not having the data that they didn’t even think to use it and ended up getting quite a tongue-lashing as a result.
As the MegaBank example showed, planning doesn’t have to be extensive for a Scrum project to get going. However, it needs to be adequate enough to guide the inspection and adaptation cycle of empirical processes like Scrum. All projects could benefit from having the cost/benefit and assumptions data available to help guide these adaptations more meaningfully.

This is all because of its content of antioxidants like zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and the likes. This is probably the best of all the health benefits of blackcurrants.
- There is an ample amount of omega-3 fatty acids in the blackcurrant. This is essential in promoting cardiac health. This is beneficial in lowering the level of bad cholesterol in the body and boost the amount of good cholesterol in the bloodstream concurrently.

Early Life of Arati Gupta
Arati Gupta was born on 24th September in the year 1940. Arati Gupta was a long distance swimmer. She was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, when British Government of India ruled the colonial part of Eastern part of the world. Arati Gupta was initiated in swimming at the early age of four. His talent was spotted by Sachin Nag. She was inspired by Indian swimmer Mihir Sen to try to cross the English Channel. In 1959, Arati Gupta became the first Indian and Asian woman to swim across English Channel. In the year 1960, Arati Gupta became the first Indian female sportsperson to be awarded Padma Shri. Arati Gupta came from a middle class Bengali Hindu family. She was born the second of three children and the first of two daughters to Panchugopal Saha in 1940 in Kolkata. Her father was an ordinary employee in the armed forces. At the age of two and half, she lost her mother. Her elder brother and younger sister Bharati was raised at the maternal uncle's house, while she was raised by her grandmother in North Kolkata. When she reached the age of four, Arati Gupta would accompany her uncle to the Champatala Ghat for bath where she learned to swim. Noticing his daughter's interest in swimming, Panchugopal Saha admitted his daughter to the Hatkhola Swimming Club. In 1946, at the age of five, Arati Gupta won the gold in 110 yards freestyle at the Shailendra Memorial Swimming Competition. It was the beginning of her swimming career.
Career of Arati Gupta
Arati Gupta participated in several swimming competitions between 1946 and 1956. It was in between 1945 and in the year 1951, Arati Gupta won 22 state-level competitions in West Bengal. The main events of Arati Gupta were 100 meters freestyle, 100 meters breast stroke and 200 meters breast stroke. She came second only to Dolly Nazir of Bombay (now Mumbai).
Later Career of Arati Gupta
In the year 1948, Arati Gupta participated in the national championship held at Mumbai. Arati Gupta won silver in 100 meters freestyle and 200 meters breast stroke and won bronze in 200 meters freestyle. Arati Gupta made an all-India record in 1949. At the 1951 West Bengal state meet, Arati Gupta clocked 1 minute 37.6 seconds in 100 meters breast stroke and broke Dolly Nazir's all-India record. At the same meet, Arati Gupta set new state-level record in 100 metres freestyle, 200 metres freestyle and 100 metres back stroke. Arati Gupta represented India at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics along with compatriot Dolly Nazir. She was one of the four women participants and the youngest member of the Indian contingent.
At the Olympics, she took part in 200 metres breast stroke event. At the heats she clocked 3 minutes 40.8 seconds. After returning from the Olympics, she lost in 100 metres freestyle to her sister Bharati Saha. After the loss, she concentrated only on breast stroke. Arati Gupta used to take part in long distance swimming competition in the Ganga River. Arati Gupta got the first inspiration to cross the English Channel from Brojen Das. At the 1958 Butlin International Cross Channel Swimming Race, Brojen Das became the first among the men and earned the distinction of being the first person from the Indian subcontinent to cross the English Channel. Greta Andersen, a Danish-born female swimmer from United States clocked 11 hours and 1 minute and stood first among both men and women. This inspired the female swimmers all over the world.
Awards received by Arati Gupta
Arati Gupta was awarded Padmashree Award by Government of India in the year 1960. In the year 1999, the Department of Posts celebrated her conquest by bringing out a postage stamp of Rs. 3 denomination. In the year 1996, a bust of Arati Saha was erected near her residence. The 100 metre long lane in front the bust was renamed after her.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract PURPOSE: Alstonia macrophylla Wall ex A. DC. Leaf, used in different ailments by the Onge tribes of Little Andaman Island, India, was investigated for its antipyretic potential. METHODS: The methanol extract and its fractions were tested on normal body temperature and yeast-induced pyrexia in Wistar Albino rats. RESULTS: The leaf extract at oral doses of 200 and 300 mg/kg, and the n-butanol fractions of the extract at 50 mg/kg showed significant reduction in normal body temperature and yeast-provoked elevated temperature in a dose-dependent manner comparable to that of standard antipyretic drug paracetamol. The antipyretic effect was started at 1 h and extended for at least 5 h after the drug administration. CONCLUSIONS: The antipyretic effect was more pronounced when the fraction A and B was administered together, indicating that both the fractions may contain antipyretic compounds which produce an additive effect in combination. Phytochemically these fractions contain beta-sitosterol and ursolic acid.

How do you turn your rent, mortgage, electricity bills and renovations into tax deductions?
Become a federal politician.
A little-known tax ruling from 1999 allows our MPs to claim all expenses related to properties they own in Canberra - including electricity, mortgage payments and renovations - as tax deductions.
That's on top of the $273 tax-free allowance they get for every night spent in the nation's capital.
And neither major party is likely to dump the perk any time soon.
Every politician asked about it on Sunday emphasised that their pay and entitlements were determined by an independent remuneration tribunal, while the tax office laid down deduction rules.
"That is how it is and that's how it should be and how it has been for a very long time," Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told reporters in Sydney.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten doesn't own any property in Canberra, just his house in Melbourne's Moonee Ponds, so didn't know of the perk.
"I expect all MPs, not just Labor MPs, to stick within the rules," he told reporters.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann refused to confirm whether he claimed tax deductions for his Canberra unit, insisting he complied with the rules.
"I don't like the rules," he told ABC TV.
"None of us as politicians make the rules, we are just expected to comply with them."
Opposition finance spokesman Tony Burke, who's been in federal parliament since 2004 and owns two Canberra properties, also said he wasn't aware of the tax rules.
"Politicians are the last people who should be determining what the rules for politicians are," Mr Burke told the Nine Network.

The Chainsmokers continue EDM departure on ‘You Owe Me’
The Chainsmokers released their second single of 2018, and continue their new trend skewing from the sound that led to their momentous rise.
“You Owe Me” is a part of the now two-sided single, Sick Boy…You Owe Me, and it’s the duo’s safest shift into instrumental heavy, post-EDM to date.
The new track sees that the duo’s doubling down on the pop-punk, Twenty One Pilots operative that was explored on “Sick Boy,” but in a form that’s significantly lacking in comparison.
Though the vaguely EDM-reminiscent track is not entirely uninspired, and listeners can relish in its sparse synth lines and subdued guitar injections, “You Owe Me’s” official video — essentially an uber cliche Twilight v. Dexter situation — isn’t doing them any such favors.

REGION — At 90 years old, music icon Burt Bacharach — who is playing at the Pala Casino Spa & Resort on Feb. 23 — said he’s not about to retire until someone tells him to “stop or that he’s out of fashion.”
Bacharach is the legendary Hollywood composer of such famous hits as “Alfie,” “Arthur’s Theme,” “Close To You,” “Do You Know The Way To San Jose,” “I Say A Little Prayer,” “Walk On By,” “What The World Needs Now Is Love” and “Wishin’ And Hopin.’”
Throughout his career he has had 48 Top 10 hits and nine No. 1 songs, and he recently spoke with The Coast News about his upcoming show and his extraordinary life.
The Pala performance is intended for folks of all ages and it will consist of “many songs that people know and grew up with, as well as some new stuff,” he said.
Who is Burt Bacharach?
Born in Kansas City and raised in New York City, Burt Freeman Bacharach is a renowned composer, songwriter, record producer, pianist and singer who has composed hundreds of pop songs from the late 1950s through the 1980s, many in collaboration with well-known lyricist Hal David.
Bacharach has also been one of the most honored and successful composers for six decades and his music is as diverse as his audiences, spanning generations and continents. He is celebrated as a pop culture icon and one of the world’s greatest contemporary composers.
He’s performed all over the world at a variety of venues and said he chose to play at the Pala because “he’s never played there before.” Most recently he has been performing at other casinos throughout California.
“I played in Palm Springs recently and many of these casino venues have great acoustics,” he said from his home in Los Angeles.
When asked what his all-time favorite song was that he was part of, he instantly said “Alfie” which he wrote for the 1966 motion picture of the same name starring actor Michael Caine and actress Shelley Winters.
According to IMDb the film is about “An unrepentant ladies’ man who gradually begins to understand the consequences of his lifestyle.” It was remade in 2004 and starred actor Jude Law.
“It’s hard to separate all of the songs but ‘Alfie’ was a wonderful song to work on,” he said. “Some songs take longer than others to write, it just depends. It can be a long process. When I wrote ‘Alfie’ it was important to say what the song was about — it was an important song at the time and it also represented what was happening in England. I wanted to make it as good as I could make it.”
One might ask at his age why not retire and relax, enjoy a quiet life? No way, he said.
“To me, I’m writing music, and we’re doing live concerts, performances and until someone says I can’t do it anymore or that I’m not fashionable, I’ll just keep going,” he said.
As for today’s music scene, Bacharach said it certainly has changed since he entered it.
“It’s drastically changed compared to when I started,” he said. “I think it’s safe to stay that some of my songs might not have ever seen the light of day … I kind of yearn for those good songs that you hear and say ‘wow, I like that song and I want to hear it again, and again.’ Now, it’s more about the electronics and the beat. However, there’s some good stuff … like Lamar; he’s brilliant. I do miss melodic songs of yesteryear … Every once and a while you do here them.”
Lounge music, no way
And while some may refer to Bacharach’s music as “lounge, elevator, or even easy listening music,” Bacharach said lounge music is a term that was created in England ages ago.
“They liked to put labels on songs, but I don’t think of my music as lounge music … but they needed to say what kind of music it was. I call it sophisticated and urban music — not easy listening, lounge or elevator.”
Married for a fourth time, to athlete Jane Hansen, since 1993, he remains friends with his ex-wives, including actress Angie Dickinson, and fellow musician Carole Bayer Sager.
“My advice is don’t get married until you really know the person and when you’re not in your 20s,” he said. “The secret to a happy marriage is trust and getting married when you are really ready.”
A recipient of three Academy Awards and eight Grammys (including the 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award and 1997 Trustees Award with collaborator Hal David) he is credited with revolutionizing the music of the 1950s and 1960s.
He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and is the recipient of other tributes received from top music industry institutions to governments, universities and charitable and philanthropic groups.
From helping charitable organizations raise funds (“That’s What Friends Are For”) to Broadway (“Promises, Promises”), movies (“Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head,” for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid) to scores of new recordings of his songs each year, Bacharach’s music seems to always be nearby for those in search of the “sophisticated and urban.”

This year, The Lawyer’s annual ranking of the largest UK law firms by turnover is available as an interactive, digital benchmarking tool. For the first time this will allow you to manipulate each data set against the metrics of your choice.
Scottish firm Thorntons has strengthened its agriculture team with the hire of Morton Fraser partner Kenneth Mackay, the first lateral to be appointed to the group in the firm’s Edinburgh office.
Mackay joins an existing team of agricultural specialists who are mainly based in Perth.
Thorntons co-managing partner Craig Nicol told The Lawyer that Thorntons had identified a gap in the Edinburgh market in the area of agricultural law. “We think there’s a niche there,” he said.
The hire follows a strong year for Thorntons, which achieved a record turnover figure of £14.3m at the end of the 2012/13 financial year, a rise of 8.3 per cent compared to 2011/12’s revenue of £13.2m.
Net profit was marginally up, from £1.9m in 2011/12 to £2m last year, but the addition of 1.6 full-time equivalent equity partners meant net profit dropped by 5 per cent, from £124,000 to £118,000. Around two-thirds of the firm’s partnership are in the equity.
Thorntons recently won a place on the Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges (APUC) panel (28 June 2013), the only Scottish firm to be selected for all Scottish lots.
Meanwhile fellow Scottish firm McClure Naismith has also reported figures for the last financial year. The firm saw turnover drop by 9 per cent, from £13.2m to £12m.

Back in March Bloomberg reported that China Mobile faced a triple whammy of apps, iPhone subsidies and regulations that would likely cost them as much as $1.8 billion in profit this year. The state-run phone company is contending with falling income as customers flock to free messaging applications such as Tencent Holdings Ltd.'s WeChat and buy Apple Inc. devices at a subsidized price. The report noted that the government would impose a new telecommunications tax as part of an effort to lower prices and improve customer service. The reduction of smartphone subsidies and talk of it isn't new and is certainly not in concrete yet despite a new UBS report.
Business Insider presents a research note from UBS that is stirring things up in the blogosphere today. The note basically states that "There are a couple developments in China that could negatively affect Apple's iPhone business." The smartphone subsidy cuts are still under review and could result in subsidies cuts in the 33-60% range. But nothing is concrete as of yet. You could read more about the research note here.
This isn't a new topic as the Wall Street Journal reported in September 2013 that China Telecom had begun to offer plans that cut back on iPhone subsidies. However, if the subsidies are enforced at the higher-end of the scale as noted above, then Apple, Samsung and other smartphone leaders would be in the same boat of having to compete on a new playing field. Yet there's a good chance that any subsidy cut would be phased in over time which would give Apple and others time to adjust to the new pricing environments.
