Choosing Which Sports to Bet On
Our moms taught us not to make assumptions, but even so, we're going to assume that you're probably here...and assume that you're probably here because you are brand new to sports betting and trying to figure out the best sports for you to bet on. If we're wrong, please don't call our moms. But if we're right, you're in luck, because we are going to walk you through everything that you need to know to choose which sports you should be betting on.
By the time you get to the end of this guide, you'll have a firm grasp on which sports you should be betting on. Depending on your sports betting goals, this could be a big decision, or at least one that is going to have a lasting effect on your future sports betting endeavors. We highly recommend that you take a few minutes to read this guide from top to bottom to make sure that you don't miss any vital information.
The First Decision - Profit vs. Entertainment
Before we can talk about what sports you should be betting, you need to have an honest heart-to-heart with yourself. You are going to have to decide what your end goal with sports betting is. The answer to that question will have a profound effect on which sports you should choose to bet on.
When it comes to sports betting, there are two main reasons that people do it. The first reason is for entertainment. People love to have a sweat on a game to make things more exciting or to make a game they normally wouldn't be into more interesting. Many people use sports betting as a recreational hobby, and we think that is great.
The other reason that people sports bet is to make money. But wait, doesn't everybody bet with the intention of making money? Yes, of course. But what we are talking about here are people who want to use sports betting as a source of income. These are people that are taking things very seriously and want to have sports betting as an additional income source or potentially as their sole source of income as a professional bettor. Everyone wants to make money when they bet, but to these people, it's important that they win.
Is either of these goals better than the other? Nope! Honestly, most of the people who get into sports betting do it for entertainment purposes. Sure, the idea of doing it for a living is appealing, but there's only a small group who have the aspirations to take things that far. That being said, there is nothing wrong with having lofty goals for yourself when it comes to sports betting. What you will see (including in this guide) is that betting with a profit goal in mind requires additional work and effort that some people just aren't interested in.
Before you go any further with this guide, take a minute to decide which direction you want to go with your sports betting. Remember, just because you choose entertainment as your main goal does not mean that you're not betting with the intention of making money. What we're saying is that you're okay with sacrificing a little bit of an edge in the name of fun. You're not making your bets with the intention of paying your bills. That is the difference we are trying to make.
Now that you know what your goal is, let's talk about how that should be applied to which sports you choose to bet on.
Betting What You Know
For those of you who decided profit was your main goal, you're going to want to stick to betting the sports that you know exclusively. Why? It's simple. Winning at sports betting is about making correct picks. You're not going to be able to consistently make correct picks on a sport that you don't understand.
To take it a step further, you really should only be betting on sports that you consider yourself an expert on. Beating the books is tough, and it's a game that operates on very tight margins. If you aren't sticking to what you know, you're not going to have much luck turning a profit.
And to take things even one step further, you should make sure that you're only betting on the teams and players that you know.
Let's say that you're going to be betting on MMA. You consider yourself an MMA expert. Does this mean that you know every fighter out there? You probably don't unless you are fully immersed in the sport. In this example, we would recommend that unless you are using some sort of mathematical strategy to bet based on statistics, you should stick to betting the fighters that you know. Otherwise, it puts you in the same boat of betting on things that you don't fully understand.
Sticking to betting on what you know can be tough for a lot of sports bettors for several reasons.
Just because you casually watch a sport or think that you're an expert doesn't really mean that you are.
You've got to be brutally honest with yourself on whether or not you really are an expert on the sport. If you aren't an expert, that's okay. Don't bet at first and dedicate some time to learning the sport and becoming an expert. Then, when you finally start making bets, you're going to be cleaning up nicely.
Remember, none of these sports are going anywhere for a long time, so there should be no hurry for you to start betting immediately. With some dedicated study, it shouldn't take you long to get yourself up to par to start firing some bets.
Is that sports bettors are known for loving action. You don't get into sports betting if you're someone who is risk-averse and likes quiet and relaxing hobbies. You get into sports betting initially because you love the action and you love the sweat that the games and the bets bring. This is great from an entertainment standpoint but can be your Achilles' heel if you don't get it under control.
If you want to make a long-term profit betting on sports, you need to stick to the sports that you are an expert on. If you aren't an expert on a sport, but you want to bet it, take some time to put in the work to become an expert BEFORE you start firing off bets.
Betting What You Don't Know
If entertainment is your main goal, you're free to bet on absolutely anything that your heart desires. This doesn't mean that you should make wildly silly bets, but if you want to, go for it! The point is that when you're betting for entertainment, you should be doing whatever makes you happy and brings you that entertainment. If you want to bet on an obscure sport that you know nothing about, go for it! If you want to bet on teams you've never heard of because you want something exciting to watch, go for it!
Betting for recreational purposes is probably the most popular form of betting and is the real end goal of most bettors. There's nothing wrong with making a little extra cash, though, while you're having fun.
Learning a New Sport
There is one exception where betting on a sport that you don't know is okay if your end goal is profit or a professional sports betting career. This is going to be less of a strategic tip for your bottom line, but more of a tip to help you keep focus. Learning a new sport with the intentions of betting on it in the future can be a grueling task. You may find yourself bored and less interested than you probably should be.
Betting can help. What we recommend doing is making a few smaller bets on some of these new sport games or matches to help keep you interested during the learning process. There are a few key "rules" that you need to pay attention to, though. First, we said small bets. You should not be firing off the same sized bets you would on a sport that you are an expert on. Bet much, much smaller where it really isn't going to have an effect on your bottom line but is enough to keep you interested.
You can consider this a cost of doing business. It's much like an investment in your education. By putting up a few bets that you very well may lose, you allow yourself to focus more on learning and paying attention to the games. This will help you to get more out of your research and get to the point where you can start making profitable bets sooner. You also open yourself up to be able to catch mistakes that could be made, but for a much smaller price. You may end up seeing something that you messed up, but it only will end up costing you a small bet instead of a normal-sized bet.
If you don't need to do this to stay interested in learning a new sport, then don't do it. This is only for people who need a little bit of sweat to keep their minds interested in what they are doing. Eventually, you'll be an expert on the sport and will be making bets more in line with your regular sizing, and this won't be an issue. We only wanted to mention it in case you are here looking to expand your array of sports that you bet on.
One Additional Exception
Okay, we lied. There is actually one other exception when we think it's okay to bet on sports that you might not be that knowledgeable on, even if your goal is profit or a professional betting career. Before we tell you the exception, we want to put out a disclaimer. This is a tip that is NOT going to help your bottom line. This tip will most likely have a negative impact on your bottom line.
But we understand that people are human, and we want to try to give you a plan that you realistically can stick with. This is like when you start a diet and you plan to run twenty miles a day, and then the next thing you know you are running zero miles because you chose an unrealistic workout plan that you couldn't stick to. We're trying to give you that "workout plan" that gets the job done but still lets you be a normal human being.
The exceptions we are talking about are the major sporting events for each sport.
While we are advocates of only betting the sports that you're an expert on, we know that it would kill the heart of a sports bettor if they didn't have at least something riding on the biggest moments of the sports calendar.
So you have our "permission" to place some bets on these major events, as long as you are aware that it is probably going to be counterproductive to your overall bottom line. If you can get by without placing them or with placing smaller bets, then go for it. We're only introducing this exception in case you need it to make it through the year. This is like the diet cheat meal. If you can get by without the cheeseburger once a week, you're going to end up better for it. But if you have to get some 100% Grade-A Angus beef in your belly once a week, we aren't going to frown upon it.
This only applies to the once-a-year championship of a sport, and we are only referring to one bet. Why are we reiterating that? Well, here are a few examples we know some of you are going to use to try to bend the rules. Just because the UFC has the word "championship" in its name, it doesn't mean we are giving you the okay to bet every single one of those cards if UFC is not your specialty. This also doesn't mean that you should be betting every single title fight in the UFC or boxing or any other combat sport with a bunch of different divisions and weight classes.
Secondly, just because March Madness is once a year, this doesn't mean that we want you betting every single basketball game in the bracket and destroying your yearly profits you've gained from the sports that you know. We're referring to placing one bet on the championship game of the bracket, and that's it.
We aren't here to sound like your mothers; we just want you to succeed. If your end-of-the-day goal is to be a long-term winner at sports betting, then you are going to need to exercise some discipline to get yourself over the finish line.
The Final Word
By now, you should have a pretty strong idea of which sports you should be choosing to bet on. If you're in it solely for the money, you're going to want to stick to what you know. Bet only the sports you honestly are an expert at and only bet the teams/fighters/games that you understand and know the best. If you're in it for fun and entertainment, the world is your oyster. Feel free to bet on whatever sports you'd like, and have a ball. You're a winner as long as you're having fun, and any money you win is just an added bonus.

Arts at Oakland: Golden Hour
Oakland Cemetery / Atlanta, GA
May 19-27, 2018
A series of 11 large-scale, site-responsive installations about beauty and healing, despair &
anxiety - there's even a little humor. The works play with one of nature's great mysteries: the sun
always rises, the sun always sets, but light and shadow are birthed in between.
Featuring Plastic Aztecs, Khalilah Birdsong, In Kyoung Chun, Ben Coleman, Paula Cuevas,
Henry Detweiler, Sara Jimenez, Eto Otitigbe, Justin Rabideau, Ruth Stanford & Karen Tauches
By Dashboard U.S. with guest curator Oshun Layne
Write up by ARTS ATL
Press Kit
Photography by Dave Batterman and Hannah Leathers
"People let me tell you there's a time in your life when you find
who you are. That's the golden time of day."
- Maze, "Golden Time of Day" feat: Frankie Beverly
Curatorial statement from Oshun Layne:
The human experience can be said to begin at sunrise and end at sunset -- the "golden hours" of each day. Golden Hour, an exhibition featuring 11 large-scale installations in Historic Oakland Cemetery, explores this interconnectedness and mystery of life, transition and rebirth.
Golden Hour, on view from May 19 to May 27, 2018, is about beauty and healing, despair and anxiety. The installations play with nature's great mystery -- the sun always rises, the sun always sets, but light and shadow are birthed in between.
This exhibition's goal with each artists' personal mythology and artistic creation is to construct for the viewer an alternate perception of what has been stereotypically associated with transition and loss.
Programming included a photography workshop with David Batterman, a Public Artists' Tour with Karen Tauches
and Ruth Stanford, a Curator Tour with Oshun Layne, and a Free Family Day.

Earlier this week, bass producer Getter took to Twitter to call out "local DJs," who he said have a tendency to mistakenly play the headliner's tracks and redline the mixing equipment. His language spurred a major response from members of the dance music community, many of whom quickly took sides.
After the controversy effectively circulated all throughout the DJing community and beyond, it appears that Getter has returned to offer his apologies to any he might have offended with his previous tweet.
In a series of new tweets sent out on Saturday evening, Getter acknowledges his own come-up as an opening DJ, mentioning how he understands the grind. He blames his outburst on his passion for his planned tour, comparing his opening DJ(s) to people who tried to knock over a Lego set that he worked hard on. He and his team's effort and dedication to creating the "best show experience possible," he said, is what caused him to lash out.
While his apology is likely appreciated and respected within the community, it appears to be aimed more at explaining why he was angry enough to tweet out in the first place, rather than focused toward discussing the issue he so violently brought to the surface.
Regardless, we're glad that Getter stepped up so quickly. Read his apology tweets below.
i apologize to the local djs that i offended
we worked super hard on this tour and few shows got fucked
i was just scrambling and pissed
— get (@GetterOfficial) September 17, 2016
ive seen local DJs fucking KILL it
i should have been more particular with the post
i love yall
just want the best show experience possible
— get (@GetterOfficial) September 17, 2016
i was a local for awhile
the grind is real and i know how exciting it is to get toopen for someone
its just different with a planned tour
— get (@GetterOfficial) September 17, 2016
imagine u built the sickest, biggest lego set ever
and a random person tries to break it
its kinda like that
this tour just means alot to me

-Treatment rooms are sublet to other practitioners who pay weekly rent
-Waiting room opens to fully-enclosed and secure courtyard
-Retail store sells candles, essential oils, oil diffusers, soaps, natural face and body care, bath and shower products, eco-bags, organic teas, natural pet care and more

Pure Botanicals is owned and operated by Naturopaths Sky Stewart and Sophie Charleston, who both have young children and are unable to grow the business to its full potential.
With a large database of clients and substantial newsletter subscription, it's time for direct marketing. Better street signage would make a considerable impact, too.
There is also room for more practitioners to sublet the rooms and extend modalities to include chiropractors, osteopaths, psychologists and general medical care. This would dramatically increase revenue with few outgoings.

memory // friendship
people have different onward tickets and eventually the group you are travelling with disbands. it's a very bittersweet moment: you're glad you actually made friends but it's sad to see them go. you're all friends on facebook but don't really talk (but what's new). friendships that are confined by context — a place, a time — are interesting. a group of people spread out around the world who share memories that cannot be properly conveyed to your friends from home.
thankfully, one of the girls is also travelling down south so you're not immediately back on your own. when visiting koh lanta, you both realize how you reliant you were on the guys for transportation. despite this, it's nice to just have a chill time and talk more about your lives. it feels like a sleepover with one of your friends from home! you even show her your finsta.
activity // kayaking in the mangroves @ ao thalane
you spend the afternoon kayaking around the mangroves. you really don't have any upper body strength so it is a tiring experience. it's worth it though — you paddle to an island and the guide hands everyone beers, and you catch the beautiful sunset that makes you feel as though you are standing between two mirrored planes.
activity // snorkelling
you're a little nervous. you've never been snorkelling before and haven't swum in ages. However, your fears are quickly subsided and it turns out to be a wonderful experience. you see turtles, large jellyfish and giant sea urchins on the bottom of the ocean floor. the guide throws watermelon into the ocean, and schools of colorful fish swarm around you. you even get to explore an underwater cave.

You have spent time, money and concerted effort to create an awesome product or service. And you have invested and placed tremendous passion in building your business and establishing your Brand. Now is the time to take these out there and showcase them to the world. But how do you communicate your core business intentions […]
You have spent time, money and concerted effort to create an awesome product or service. And you have invested and placed tremendous passion in building your business and establishing your Brand. Now is the time to take these out there and showcase them to the world.
But how do you communicate your core business intentions without directly pitching for sales? How do you come across as a genuine value provider and still attract people to your business offerings?
The key obviously is to never deliberately pressure anyone to buy something. But you can definitely make great strides in spreading your brand message merely by educating people how your product or service works.
Actively and dynamically showing people how has a powerful effect on their minds. It also shows potential customers you care about how they will experience your product or service.
This is why a simple How To Video makes so much sense. It provides valuable guidance and practical information without looking like a typical advertisement.
A 'how to video' is a powerful and effective way to communicate your brand while not trying to sell it. It engages people's imagination and interest and at the same time does not imply they have to buy anything. It gives them the freedom to learn about your brand in a way that is informative and entertaining.
They certainly do not feel cheated in any way when they eventually come round to buying your product or service. And they are never in any doubts about what to expect. This creates customer satisfaction before they even reach for their wallets.
By teaching your audience instead of 'selling' to them you are in effect able to build enormous trust with your target market. This makes a huge impact to your bottom-line over the long-term as pre-educated and informed customers usually become repeat buyers.
Many broadcasting channels such as Buzzfeed, Yahoo, Tasty, YouTube and Howcast have understood and embraced the power of 'how to videos'. That is why they are investing heavily in this kind of content. They realise that it is one the best ways to generate tons of traffic to their enormous platforms and boost engagement at the same time.
We at 42video.com also had the opportunity to partner with Yahoo in producing original content for them. Some of our videos on Yahoo's channel have reached approximately 300K plus organic views and some even a little more. Our videos on Yahoo have thus turned out be one of our most successful campaigns, a fact that we are duly proud of.
42video team creative meeting while developing briefs for Yahoo originals.
These videos may seem quite elementary in that they give simple enough instruction. It is probable that many people would have no difficulty in tucking their shirt in or knotting a tie. But you would be well surprised how videos like these are able to generate massive engagement from literally thousands of real viewers.
How to videos have tremendous power and engagement value, and they make excellent tools for consumers to learn about your brand and to share further on other social platforms. Ultimately they build on their desire to buy your product or service. The main take away here is that people actually watch them with keen interest and benefit from them in a practical way.
There shouldn't be any doubt in your mind now about the power of how to video. Here is a summary of the key benefits it can offer you and your business:
1. Searched for and found the most on Google – making it the most engaging type of content available online.
2. An excellent way to demonstrate your product or service.
3. Your customer knows exactly what to expect before buying.
4. Builds trust between you and your customers.
5. Boosts Search Engine Optimisation and Rankings.

For those who grew up in earthquake affected countries, the Richter scale was a constant refrain, but the mathematical formula for measuring quakes is no longer widely used by scientists or the media.
The more modern formula for Earthquake measurement is the moment magnitude scale. Unlike the Richter scale, it captures all the different seismic waves from an earthquake, allowing experts to make more precise measurements.
Using seismographs – instruments that measure the shaking ground – scientists can accurately calculate the location, time and magnitude of the earthquake.
From these measurements, earthquakes are assigned a class. An increase of one number means the quake's magnitude is ten times greater than the number prior.
In the past week, two earthquakes have struck off the coasts of Greece and Japan, both measuring in at 6.7 on the moment magnitude scale.
The quake off the west coast of Greece damaged buildings and killed at least one person. In Japan, the earthquake caused a small tsunami but no major damaged was reported.
Watch more on how fault lines grinding together can birth what is known as megaquakes.

Living under a flight path for more than 20 years can raise the risk of heart disease and stroke due to the disruptive effects of night-time noise, a new study suggests.
For every 10 decibels of aircraft noise they are exposed to on an average night, the risk of developing either of the conditions increases by 25 per cent, researchers found.
There was no significant link between noise from aircraft during the day and either of the illnesses, suggesting that disrupted sleep or stress could be to blame.
Noise from road traffic was linked to a similar increase in heart disease and stroke for people living in congested areas, but this was more likely due to air pollution than noise, experts said.
The study, funded by the European Commission and led by researchers from Imperial College London, examined 4,712 people who had been living near airports in six European countries, including the UK, for at least five years.
The group as a whole was not significantly more likely than average to develop cardiovascular conditions, but there was a notable increase in cases among those who had been exposed to night-time aircraft noise for at least two decades.
Previous studies have shown that exposure to aircraft noise overnight can raise blood pressure, even in people who claim to have slept through it.
Writing in the Environmental Health journal, the researchers said: "It may be that aircraft noise at night affects sleep and this is a potential mechanism for the observed observations."

Charlotte Copywriter lands on Mars...finds lost Elvis record and a secret potion that restores hair in 10 seconds!/
We can all laugh about headlines...but...headlines like the one above help to sell millions of copies of tabloids not just in the United States but around the world.
Headline writers at newspapers like The Sun based in London and, yes, the National Enquirer, are among the best writers in the world (and on Mars). They have to be...their headlines have to be so good that people buy the newspaper from the newsstand. There's no hiding behind awards given by other "fluff" copywriters here...the headline sells papers or it doesn't.
I've been working on my direct response copywriting headlines. Why? It all starts with the headline. There's no need to reinvent the wheel...simply use one of the many proven headline techniques. That's 95 per cent of the work; the hard part is applying enough creativity so the prospect keeps reading. Here's a great headline from my friend Andrew Wood's Thunderbolt Marketing manual. The headline is for a golf product. Which headline is more likely to get the reader to read more?
Buy this club...you'll hit it longer. It's AMAZING!
70 year old man amazes younger players as he consistently hits the ball over 300 yards. His secret? The new XYZ club.
Sorry...no prizes for guessing the correct answer. Andrew wrote the second one.
As a direct response copywriter, it's my responsibility to write revenue generating headlines...even on Mars. Writing a revenue generating headline is a great challenge...and a lot of fun.
When I'm in doubt, I gravitate to one of two techniques...the question headline (Do you want to be a lot thinner?) or the story headline...the more I can emulate a newspaper article, the better...in most cases. An ad for a life insurance product might read...LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES SET TO RAISE RATES NEXT MONTH...WILL MAKE IT HARDER TO GET COVERAGE...
My proven direct response copywriting can generate revenue quickly...I turn most copy around in about 48 hours. Click here now for my web site.

Being a licensed contractor has a lot of advantages. Just remain passionate and hard-working and success will eventually follow you. If you are thinking of starting a new career in the construction industry, then this article is for you.
Yes, it is true that the requirements of being a licensed contractor could be daunting at first, however, they are not really hard to meet. Everything will eventually go smoothly for as long as you stay focused on your goal and you plan ahead. It is the objective of this article to help those who are planning to become a licensed contractor.
1. See to it that you are qualified to take the contractor's examination.
Most if not all the states in the United States will require you to have not lesser than four years of experience in order for you to take the contractor's exam. The four experience levels are the following: contractor, foreman, journeyman, and of course, owner-builder. Showing them proof from a reliable source will validate or confirm your experience level. To do this, you to call your previous clients and ask for their help. Once you get the chance to talk to them, simply ask them to fill-out a short portion of your application form. After this, just submit your form and prepare for your exam.
2. You have to apply for an original contractor's license on the internet.
Since most if not all of us already have smartphones, desktops, and laptops with good internet connection, this step should be a walk in the park for you. It will be very easy for you to access the necessary websites and print all the forms you need. Believe it or not, you can even get the application forms you need for the state exam printed online. Just make sure you fill out all your forms accurately. This is because small mistakes can cause the delay of your approval. Make sure you do not waste your time and energy and do this carefully. It is also a good idea to add the application processing fee to your budget. Prepare at least 300 dollars for this.
3. Pass the contractor's state exam.
Don't waste your time, money, and energy and make sure you ace your exam during your first try. Being able to pass the contractor's exam the first time around has a lot of benefits. Aside from the fact that you will take the online contractor course, you will also love the fact that they will let you review the different exam prep courses of your state. Make sure you are prepared and that you take the exam seriously. Think positive and be confident and you will soon ace your exam.
Why No One Talks About Contractors Anymore

DAY 10: Living with the trauma of camp life
Nov. 15, 2010 — It was just minutes into our conversation when Layla's tears began to fall.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't normally cry. I'm just upset today. It's because it's Eid."
Eid al-Adha, or Festival of the Sacrifice, begins tomorrow according to the Islamic calendar, and it is normally a joyous occasion.
But it is a trying time for the many in Shatila who've lost loved ones.
Layla, whose name we've changed because she didn't want to talk publicly about her personal situation, is mourning the death of not one but four of those closest to her. Her mother died of illness 11 years ago. Layla also lost a sister and a brother in the war of the camps in 1985-86 — both killed by shrapnel of falling artillery on separate occasions.
Nahlah Ayed's Shatila blog
- Day 1: En route to Beirut
- Day 2: Small signs of progress
- Day 3: Sharing details, but with dignity
- Day 4: Artifacts of exile
- Day 5: Shatila's space problem
- Day 6: Camp politics
- Day 7: A litany of woes
- Day 8: Talking about Arafat
- Day 9: Dreaming big in Shatila
- Day 10: Living with the trauma of camp life
- Day 11: Celebrating sacrifice in Shatila
- Day 12: Stuck in Shatila
All their pictures are hung up high on the living room wall in Layla's home, a daily reminder of grief that never goes away.
Freshest in Layla's mind though is the unexpected death of her husband of two years. Walid, also not his real name, was visiting from Europe to arrange Layla's papers so she could finally travel back with him when he was killed in the bombing during the Israeli-Hezbollah war in 2006.
His picture remains tucked away in the far corner of Layla's cellphone memory.
"He was a good man," Layla told me, as she flicked through grainy wedding pictures on an outdated Nokia. "I was happy he came to take me away from this place."
Since we arrived, we've met many women who have been through the kind of trying times that could easily leave most people undone.
Layla's experience is particularly painful but not unique. We've met many women who have lost children, siblings, husbands and, yet, have tried to go on — bearing the psychological, financial and practical consequences.
Loss is just one of the challenges women in Shatila must endure — on top of the appalling living conditions and numerous health and social problems.
Fatima, 36, is Lebanese and married to a Palestinian living in Shatila. She is the sole breadwinner in her family, working as a cleaner at a local school.
She also works a second job, commuting as far from the camp as possible to clean people's homes so that her children do not have to live with the stigma of having a maid for a mother.
Fatima has heart problems, but she also has a husband who suffers from cancer and four children with several health issues, and it's they who always take priority.
"My husband hasn't worked for four years," she said.
There's little assistance for women like Fatima, or for the women who endure rampant physical or psychological abuse, or for the women who end up aging alone.
And certainly not for women like Layla, not with so many other urgent problems here to deal with.
That means there is no therapy or concerted effort to help ease the pain of all that she and others have gone through or are still going through.
Layla's emotional reaction to our conversation also isn't unique. The pain, the trauma, in Shatila is right underneath the surface, and we've seen it revealed time and again, especially among women. It is something they just live with, the memories — and the fears they engender — never really going away.
In addition to losing her husband, mother and siblings, Layla and her family have also lost three homes in various conflicts that have affected the camp.
"We do not forget," Layla, 35, tells me. "[The memories] are like a video tape that you watch. … We have all suffered, and we are always afraid. It is routine."
I asked Layla and many others how they cope. It is also a question some of our readers have posed.
Layla often gets together with female friends and neighbours as one way to try to forget. It's a kind of informal therapy — an outlet that allows her to talk about her memories with others who understand.
Religion is also a comfort for Layla — especially reading the Koran — as it is for many of the camp's residents.
Many Shatila residents told me they also find joy in their children and grandchildren. But it is a joy Layla has never known.
Tomorrow morning, she will revisit her grief, along with thousands of other residents of Shatila: it is customary for Muslims to visit the graves of loved ones on the morning of Eid.
A chance to reflect on a long list of sorrows, before the celebrations begin.

Germany becomes the second most popular immigration destination in the world
The last statistics from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) shows that Germany is becoming one of the most popular immigration destinations. During 2014 it is only behind the United States. The OECD published a copy of its information leaflet Migration Policy Debates on 20th May 2014. It shows that Germany has moved from 9th most popular immigration destination in 2009 to 2nd most popular destination in 2014. United States still remains the most popular destination with more than 1 million immigrants coming every year. The most important contributor to this is the fact that the German economy has survived the global economic crisis which started in 2009 and the employment levels in the country have remained relatively. The number of migrants rose by 38% to 400,000 in 2012. Germany is the largest country and the largest economy in the European Union. Traditionally the government has been opposed to mass immigration, but during the last it has changed its position. The reason for this is that its population is ageing and shrinking. This creates various economic problems such as shrinking productivity and deflations. According to the OECD, one in three people migrating within the EU goes to Germany. Business news site Bloomberg, reports that the German workforce will shrink by 1.5m by 2020 without immigration leaving skills shortages which could cost the German economy dearly. According to Ernst & Young, skills shortages are already costing German business €31bn each year. At the same time however Bloomberg reports that many German companies consider hiring abroad for too expensive. In addition to that more than 30% of the German companies think that sourcing employees from abroad is too complicated as well.

just how rampant is spyware? to find out, we did some spying of our own, with the help of several dozen pc magazine readers. these volunteers neatly split into two groups: those who were enthusiastic users of free file-sharing software, such as grokster, kazaa, and morpheus, and those who did little or no swapping.
we fitted each person's system with a spyware removal tool, along with a surveillance program we created called "who's spying on me?" once each day, our program launched the removal tool to delete any spyware on the system, analyzed the tool's log, and e-mailed the log and its analysis to us. who's spying on me? also checked the uninstall data in the registry and the shortcuts in the start menu and desktop, reporting new installations it found. the testers were given an opportunity to add comments to the e-mail. since in theory all spyware was removed each day, any spyware found after the initial cleanup would represent a new infestation.
to automate the spyware removal and logging process, we needed a removal tool that could be controlled through the command line. we began our tests using lavasoft's ad-aware 5.83. since not all of ad-aware's settings could be configured from the command line, who's spying on me? tweaked the configuration settings directly in the registry. after a week or so, it became clear that ad-aware was not completely successful in removing spyware it detected. (ad-aware has since updated to version 6, reviewed in this story.) we arranged to get copies of pestpatrol 18.104.22.168 for our volunteers, and we rewrote the reporting program to analyze the log files from pestpatrol's command line utilitya module separate from the utility reviewed here.
not surprisingly, the first logs we received from our testers were the biggest, because the software tools had just cleared out months or sometimes years of accumulated items. the majority of the removals were "tracking cookies" rather than true spyware. advertisers claim they use these cookies to gather nonindividualized information about web behavior. they can tell that someone saw one of their banner ads on a specific set of sites, but they can't tell who. yet by sending an e-mail including a "web bug," advertisers can associate a tracking cookie with a specific individual. most advertisers say they don't use this technique, but the removal tools wipe out the tracking cookies anyway, just in case.
leading the pack was doubleclick, not surprising in a group of pc magazine readers; pcmag.com, like many large sites, uses doubleclick to manage its advertising. (note that you can opt out of doubleclick's tracking by visiting www.privacychoices.org/optout.htm. after opting out, you may need to set your spyware removal tool to ignore the resulting opt-out cookie.) day after day, the removal tools cleared out tracking cookies, and day after day the cookies reappeared as the testers revisited their favorite sites; the logs tell a clear story, and there was little difference between the two groups of testers.
when we filtered out tracking cookies from our analysis and compared reports of actual spyware, the two test groups showed significant differences. as table 1 shows, the non-file-sharing group logged plenty of adware and spywareeven a trojan horse (we used the category assignments in pestpatrol's pest encyclopedia). but after initial cleanup, they had virtually no repeat infestations. early logs showed cydoor and savenow returning each day for some testers, but these did not represent new infestations. in truth, ad-aware's automated mode simply failed to remove them completely. when we switched to pestpatrol, the repeats vanished.
knowing that they were being monitored, or the psychological effect of seeing spyware reported every day, may perhaps have induced a greater degree of caution than usual among our testers. they may have decided against installing ad-supported software. perhaps they actually read the end user license agreements (eulas) for newly installed software and declined to accept any disclosed adware or spyware. whatever the reason, this group was remarkably clean during the remainder of the test period.
the file-sharing group produced a very different set of results. their systems revealed many of the same spyware elements as the first group, along with quite a few more (see table 2). this was to be expected: the installation programs for the free file-sharing applications grokster, kazaa, and morpheus all state that the programs are supported by advertising and require you to agree to their terms. if you do agree without reading the terms from start to finish, you may get more than you bargained for. we found in one case that by clicking on the i agree button you are agreeing to not one but ten eulas, all concatenated into a single, interminable text box. if you don't agree, the installation is cancelled.
be aware that not all the spyware these applications install is disclosed. see our table "spyware delivery methods" for some examples of what popular file-sharing applications installed at the time of our testing.
for the file-sharing group, the automatic removal process was never 100 percent effective. in some cases, removing the spyware disabled an ad-supported file-sharing utility. without brilliantdigital, for example, kazaa won't run. to regain the ability to share files, users had to reinstall the utility (and reload the spyware). in other cases, such as with grokster, either the file-sharing utility prevented spyware removal or it reinstalled the spyware automatically at the next log-on.
given this information, we decided to go undercover in the world of file sharing. we configured a system for an imaginary file-sharing enthusiast and put our spyware-tracking software in place. over the course of a week, we installed grokster, kazaa, and morpheus and watched the daily reports roll in.
pestpatrol actually identified the three file-sharing utilities themselves as spyware, in addition to their supporting adware/spyware programs. unfortunately, the automated removal process wasn't able to clean the system completely. we continued to encounter spyware-generated pop-up ads even when not surfing the web.
next, we brought up the control panel's add/remove programs applet and tried launching the uninstall routines for the file-sharing programs and any associated applications. our attempts were largely unsuccessful. some spyware components refused to uninstall; some nonspyware programs begged for mercy, sending pop-up windows arguing that they were legitimate applications. we couldn't even uninstall the file-sharing utilities themselves, because our spyware removal tool's partial success had damaged their uninstall routines. in the end, we had to reinstall the file-sharing tools and their ancillary applications and run add/remove programs to remove any that provided uninstall routines. after doing so, we successfully cleared all spyware from the system.
this may be more trouble than the average user is willingor would even knowto take. if you want to share music and other files using a free utility, you may just have to accept a certain amount of spyware. consider clearing out your system as we did and then reinstalling your file-sharing software. this time, carefully read every eula, and don't agree to anything or provide any personal information that's not required. if some of these dubious applications require personal data, you may want to consider giving out false information; there's no good reason for file-sharing apps or any of the things they bring along to know anything about you. that way, you'll minimize the impact of the added software.
our tests clearly showed that even if you don't use file sharing, chances are good that your system is infested with various spyware components. you'll want to clear them out using one of the removal tools we've reviewed. whether you clean out spyware daily, weekly, or monthly, regular removal will protect both your privacy and your productivity.

Quality Behavioral Competencies™ (QBC) Coach Training
Quality Behavioral Competencies™ (QBC's) is an innovative self-paced training course that provides organizations with an incredibly efficient way to improve staff behavioral teaching skills. Written in simple, clear, easy to understand language, each training module is focused on learning a specific functional skill, such as reinforcement, therapeutic instruction, or behavioral momentum. This 2-day Coach Training course prepares QBC Coaches to deliver the QBC program in either classroom, PSI (self-paced), or hybrid methods.
All QBCs are based on extensive applied research in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. These skills are of incredible value in improving staff effectiveness when working with a wide range of populations, including special education, geriatrics, brain injuries, psychiatric conditions, and developmental disabilities.
Training research has shown that staff training curricula which include peers and direct supervisors in the training and feedback process are highly effective in generating and maintaining staff behavioral skills. The QBC course trains staff mentors and supervisors to teach, monitor, and maintain these important behavioral skills.
Efficient, Competency-Based Staff Training
- Critical behavioral skills such as reinforcement, reinforcer preference assessment, delivering instructions, and behavioral momentum.
- Staff can learn and be tested at their own pace.
- Training can be done in or outside of classroom setting.
- Selected staff members can be trained and certified as Competency Coaches, allowing them to teach and check the competency of other staff.
- Focus on important, evidence-based behavioral skills, without unnecessary theory or jargon.
Flexible Training System
When one or more members of your staff have been trained as QBC trainers, they can provide training to staff using either of these two approaches:
Classroom Instruction: Staff are trained in groups using a traditional adult learner model. Staff progress together through each model, demonstrate competency according to specific training criteria under the supervision of the trainer, then move on. All modules can be taught in a single classroom day or broken up into smaller sessions.
Self-Paced Instruction: Instead of (or in addition to) the classroom instruction model, trainers can use an innovative self-paced instruction program. Staff members can work through modules at their own pace and then work with a trainer to quickly solidify the skill, demonstrate mastery of the material, then practice the skill in real-world situations. As trainees complete each module, they meet specific training objectives and are ready to move on to the next one.
In addition to the actual training activities, QBS will provide the following materials and services:
- Trainer Manuals: Each participant receives a QBC Certification Trainer Manual.
- QBC Certificate: A certificate to each participant reflecting their Certified QBC training.
- Phone Consultation: A Master QBC Trainer is available to answer questions regarding the use of QBC modules at your facility during the first three months after training.
Each class may have up to 15 participants (who should be designated employees of your organization), who will be trained as Competency Coaches in the QBC Basic Series. These Coaches will then train additional staff in your organization. We can come to you and train up to 15 coaches at a time, or you may also sign up to attend an open session at our training center in North Attleboro, MA.
QBC Training materials are available for purchase from QBS for $25 per Trainee Packet (each of the modules in the series) plus shipping and handling. Volume discounts available.

At SYS-CON Media, we don't do "predictions" but rather "projections." I am browsing through my November 9, 2009 dated blog entry.
Here is what I wrote then:
"We see our inventories are filling up to 100% capacity for the months of November, December, and January, and we are seeing better-than-normal RFP activity for the first quarter of 2010.
When I say this, I am comparing the current insertion order activity to the same period last year. We will be closing 2009 roughly 32% below 2008 in revenues (far better than any other tech media company), which forced us to reduce our expenses for the same period by around 40%. Last fall, while the world was falling apart, we were preparing for a 40%-45% drop in advertising revenues for 2009. We did better than our worst projections."
That was our 2010 projection two months ago. Today, as of January 28, 2010, we booked more revenue for 2010 than the entire fiscal year 2009 actuals, including unearned income with record sponsorship sales for the Cloud Expo East, Cloud Expo West and Cloud Expo Europe events.
Our revised revenue projections for 2010 are on track for an all-time record high since our company's inception in 1994, including media sales which were up in January from a year ago.
As I made a reference to sponsorship and expo sales, I encourage all of our sponsors to take the contract option 2 which includes the Cloud Expo 2010 East (New York City), Cloud Expo 2010 Europe (Prague, Czech Republic), and Cloud Expo 2010 West (Silicon Valley, California) events.
On Monday, February, 1, 2010, we will announce the venues for Cloud Expo 2010 Europe (June 21 -22, 2010, Prague, Czech Republic) and Cloud Expo 2010 West (November 1-3, 2010, Silicon Valley).
The Cloud Expo West event in Silicon Valley increased this year from 20,000 sq. ft. in 2009 to 80,000 sq. ft. expo floor space in 2010. Projected delegate count for Cloud Expo West increases from 2,200 in 2009 to over 6,000.
More important, the expo floor with the addition of large booths (20 x 20 and bigger) will be sold out before the conference date.
We will announce Cloud Computing Expo Europe sponsors in February for the 2nd International Cloud Computing Expo Europe event, with delegate participation projected to be triple that of 2009.
Last not but not least, we are excited to share with you that Cloud Computing Expo Tokyo and Cloud Computing Expo Hong Kong dates will be made public on the first day of the Cloud Expo Europe event in Prague!

This set consists of 3 single sided discs, for optimal sound performance, of the Classic Records 200gram reissue of "VENICE" with George Solti conducting the Royal Opera House Orchestra. This title was planned, but never released as a 200g set at 45rpm set or on clarity vinyl, thereby making this an ultra collectible set. This test pressing box set has special significance and collectability because it comes from the Michael Hobson ARCHIVES. This is a truly one of a kind collectible of one of the most valuable and highly sought after Classic Records pressings.
These test pressings are from the first stamper and reflect the closest you can get to the
lacquers, and hence
have a special collectible value and store of value.
a very small number of these unreleased sets exist and thus this is
a special
opportunity to hear your favorite title on Classic's 200g Super
Vinyl Profile
on Clarity Vinyl at 45 rpm - it doesn't get any better than
This set is packaged in a white special edition box and each test pressing comes in a white jacket.
ULTRA RARE item... Good luck!
*45 rpm records have long been recognized as providing a higher fidelity musical experience resulting purely from the cartridge being able to extract more of the nuance from the complex vertical and horizontal groove modulations in stereo LP's. Further, Classic Records 45 rpm "single sided" pressings dramatically reduce the mechanical resonances created by the cartridge during playback by allowing these resonances to be more fully transmitted to and absorbed by the turntable platter. Classic Records Clarity Vinyl 45 rpm pressings are designed and manufactured to provide the "LOWEST DISTORTION" in every aspect of LP playback resulting in putting the listener as close to the music as possible. With only 4 Michael Hobson archive copies of this definitive reissue, don't hesitate before the price on the secondary market skyrockets!

Background on Classic 200g
Super Vinyl Profile
In 2003, Classic Records launched its now famous Signature Blue Note Mono reissue series.As part of that series Classic developed an "authentic" 200 gram LP profile that replicated that of an original Blue Note record from the 1950's. Comparing a test pressing on the new profile versus the same title on the normal 180 gram pressing it was discovered that the 200 gram version sounded significantly better. The 200 gram pressing sounded louder, with more definition and solidity of notes across all frequencies and there was more detail - particularly low level detail like room or hall sounds, pages being turned, musicians whispering and automobile sounds outside the studio all became easier to identify. At first it was speculated inside Classic Records that the extra weight resulted in the better performance as no one could come up with a better answer given that the stampers were the same as well as the vinyl pellets used on both 180g and 200g pressings. One day, Michael Hobson, the founder of Classic Records was discussing this unexplainable sonic discovery with the Legendary Mastering Engineer and Sheffield Records founder, Doug Sax when Doug, without hesitation stated "Ah Michael you've discovered the difference in a flat versus conventional profile". Puzzled, Hobson asked for an explanation which Sax described as going all the way back to 1950's mono pressings and what happened when stereo records came out in the early 1960's. Sax explained that in the 1950's when mono records had no vertical modulation (only lateral), pressing PolyVinylChloride PVC (plastic) records were more easily pressed on "Flat Profile" dies fitted to the pressing machines since the grooves on the mono stampers were all the same height (no vertical modulation). The molten vinyl was able to flow evenly across the stampers and fill properly during the molding (pressing) of the record. The problems started when stereo record cutting came into vogue producing stampers that had variable height grooves sticking up across the diameter of each stamper. Using the older mono pressing dies resulted in tremendous problems getting the areas between grooves of different heights to fill properly - a groove that is in front of another taller one often got passed over by the flowing molten vinyl resulting in "non-fill" which was audible and thus a "defective" record. Pressing plants don't like to press defective records and are always looking for high pressing yields or a s few rejects as possible.

Loren Everett "Steve" Owens (born December 9, 1947) is a former football player, a running back in the National Football League (NFL) for five seasons in the early 1970s.
Owens played college football for the University of Oklahoma, and was the 1969 Heisman Trophy winner and an All-American, he was selected in the first round of the 1970 NFL draft by the Detroit Lions, 19th overall, and became the first Lion to rush for over a thousand yards in a season.
Early years[edit]
Born in Gore, Oklahoma, Owens was raised in Miami, Oklahoma, he attended Miami High School, where he was a standout high school football player for the Miami Wardogs.
College career[edit]
Owens played college football for the University of Oklahoma in Norman from 1967 to 1969; as a senior in 1969, he was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American, and became the second Oklahoma Sooner to win the Heisman Trophy (after Billy Vessels, and preceding Sam Bradford, Jason White, Billy Sims, Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray). He was the Sooners' all-time scorer with fifty-seven touchdowns until DeMarco Murray beat his record in 2010, and retains the third highest Sooners career rushing total with 4,041 yards.
Owens holds the distinction of executing touchdowns on the first three forward passes of his NCAA career,[1] he also established the career rushing record of 3,867 yards that stood for two years until Ed Marinaro broke it in 1971.[2] His 1967–1969 career points per game record would be broken the following season by Arkansas' Bill Burnett.[3]
In 2006, the university erected a bronze statue of Owens on its campus in Heisman Park, commemorating his 1969 award, he was also a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at OU.
Professional career[edit]
The Detroit Lions chose Owens in the first round (nineteenth overall) in the 1970 NFL draft, and he signed in June,[4] he played for the Lions for five seasons, from 1970 to 1974, and struggled with injuries. In his rookie year, he had a severely separated shoulder that kept him out of the season's first half.[5] Healthy, Owens rushed for 1,035 yards in 1971, becoming the first back in the history of the Lions' franchise to run for more than 1,000 yards in a single season, and was selected for the Pro Bowl.
On Thanksgiving in 1974 at Tiger Stadium, Owens opened the game with 46 yards in four carries but went down in the first quarter with ligament damage to his left knee.[6] and sat out the entire 1975 season. He retired during training camp in August 1976,[7] after a series of injuries that plagued his pro career.
Life after football[edit]
He served as the athletic director for the Oklahoma Sooners athletic program at his alma mater from August 1996 until March 1998.[8]

text: Hi, 1. Its been one month am not able to recharge my Reliance Data Card & not use it - Card number 9347350003 (both through online and through stores). It always shows error message while recharging - "Server down for maintenance error". No resolution yet for the same issue even after several complaints. Few Complaint numbers for reference:- 235277224 235726695 2. Both Customer Care and Nodal officers wrongly close the complaints after few days saying the issue has been resolved without testing. They do this perhaps to avoid SLA breach. Nodal Officers are good for nothing. As a second level of contact, they are not able to provide the correct information and resolve the issue in time frame. 3. No clarity on refund / replacing the device from Nodal officers when they know the issue is not resolved. This shows unethical practices being carried out by Reliance Communications division. Please don't regret after wasting your money and time in Reliance Data Card. Avoid Reliance Data Cards, there are lot better options in the market. Thanks,

Several weeks ago, we had these pork tenderloins. They always come two in a package. I had cooked both the first night and so later in the week it was time for the second one as leftover. I didn't want to have the exact same thing, so... I had this idea.
N invented Cheez-It Chicken several years ago. You basically crush the Cheez-It crackers into crumbs and then use them like bread crumbs. So I figured I would try to do this but with a pork tenderloin.
Unfortunately, we didn't have Cheez-Its; we only had Goldfish crackers. But those are cheese crackers, right? So same diff.
Except that we only had rainbow colored Goldfish crackers.
However, I was not to be daunted, so I crushed them all up. Dipped the already cooked tenderloin in some sour cream, stuck it in a bag with the smushed Goldfish crackers, and then fried it up in a skillet with some oil.
It wasn't that bad actually, though I don't think this is a recipe anyone needs to recreate. It certainly looked... interesting, however.

Haha! It actually sort of looks like our goldfish food, if I left it out in the damp to congeal.
That probably isn't helping.
