Abel Cord
Made from hardwearing, stretchy cord and highly versatile, Abell pants look the part anywhere. Cut to a relaxed, straight-leg fit with four pockets, a zip fly and button closure, they are easy to wear, while the partially elasticated waistband and belt loops mean you can adjust the fit so they sit comfortably.
Subtle design features, such as articulated knees, a panel gusset and ventilation eyelets on the inside leg, make them ideal for bouldering before heading out into town or country, chalk dust aside. Distinctive Moon branding on the trim and a Moon heritage leather badge say what's needed about the quality – when it's this good, there's no need to shout.

Federal Government funding
The Australian Government has committed around $3 billion to fund its share of the wage increases, awarded by Fair Work Australia (FWA). This updates the previous commitment of $2.1 billion, as it includes the cost of the final Equal Remuneration Order and the full phase in period to 30 June 2021.
To meet its share of the costs of these wages, the Australian Government is providing social and community sector (SACS) supplementation payments to organisations delivering Commonwealth-funded programs that employ workers affected by FWA's decision.
The Australian Government has been working with state and territory governments to reach agreement on providing supplementation for Commonwealth-State Agreements.
The rate of Commonwealth supplementation provided to eligible organisations that employ staff in Queensland varies depending on whether they are subject to the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission decision.
Organisations subject to the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission decision will receive Commonwealth Government supplementation that reflects the higher rates awarded by the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission.
Organisations that are not subject to the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission decision and employ staff under the SACS Modern Award will receive supplementation as per the phase in arrangements that will be outlined in the Equal Remuneration Order.
Queensland Government
In response to the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission decision of 2009, the Queensland Government began providing supplementary funding to some organisations. For those organisations, supplementary funding has been incorporated into their ongoing funding.
QCOSS and NDS continue to provide information to the State Government on the wage pressures being faced by Queensland organisations.
The Queensland Department of Communities is currently transitioning organisations to output-based service agreements as their current agreements expire. Organisations are required to determine what level of outputs they are able to deliver within existing resources (including rising wage costs).

Our accounting major (offered on campus and online) takes you beyond traditional accounting. Sure, you'll learn all the essentials of financial accounting, accounting systems, income tax, cost accounting, and auditing to make you employable anywhere. But at DSU, you can also get a solid background in the technical systems underlying modern accounting—allowing you to understand, manage, and lead accounting teams. You can even couple our accounting major with other tech-focused programs to give you a unique edge in the job market.
If you know you want to become a certified public accountant (CPA), take a look at our professional accountancy program. This program plan requires the additional credit hours you'll need to sit for the CPA exam.
Accounting students can choose to continue their education with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) at DSU. We'll work with you to develop a plan for your future and make sure you take all the right courses. You'll leave prepared to pursue graduate degrees and become a leader in your field.
Benefits of studying accounting at DSU
Class size in accounting courses is typically small with 15-20 students per class. You won't be seated in an auditorium with no interaction with your professors.

A few years ago, an unfamiliar drug began to pop up at some of the stops frequented by the Relief Bus, a retrofitted school bus that provides services for the poor and homeless.
The drug was "everywhere," says Josiah Haken, who does outreach for the organization. "Parolees used it because there was no test. Homeless folks used it because it was cheap. And everyone else used it because it was new," Haken wrote in a text message.
This was K2, also known as spice or synthetic marijuana, a substance with un-marijuana-like effects usually made from plant materials sprayed with different chemicals.
The word commonly used to describe the drug's users is "zombies"; this transformation was on display Monday between Bed-Stuy and Bushwick where 33 people were hospitalized due to behavior often associated with using the drug. The non-uniform nature of the drug makes it difficult to know for sure, but a police spokesman said the hospitalizations are believed to be from a bad batch of the drug.
The hotspots
Scenes like that in Brooklyn, with K2 users stumbling around, passed out on the ground or hardly conscious, aren't exactly surprising. Last summer, the city's Health Department announced an increase in emergency room visits due to the drug.
Chief among the K2 hotspots during that period was the area around the 125th Street Metro-North station, which groups of often-homeless New Yorkers called home (some observers called it an "encampment").
Regulars played move and return with the cops, earned spare change by opening taxicab doors for confused tourists coming out of the station, and sometimes drank and smoked K2, sold in nearby bodegas. When high or drunk, some passed out leaned up against the station wall, sometimes removing shirts. The drug can make users warm or itchy.
Partially to address scenes like that, the City Council in October approved new penalties for sale and manufacture of the drug. In May, city officials pointed to this and enforcement of businesses that sell K2, along with education and outreach campaigns, for mitigating the drug's effects in East Harlem and elsewhere. Multi-agency enforcement efforts led to the seizure of 10,000 packets of K2, according to a City Council spokeswoman. K2-related hospital visits dropped 85% from the summer spike.
This decrease is apparent across the city, service providers like Haken say—"the smell doesn't hit you like a truck" at the 125th Street site, for example, and Haken says there are "significantly fewer K2 zombies" at Relief Bus locations.
But the Brooklyn mass hospitalizations make clear that the drug is still used regularly, despite being harder to get. One reason the drug isn't widely discussed anymore is the populations who use it—often New York's poorest.
That is true even back in East Harlem, where K2 continues to be used though advocates and city officials point to decreases.
On Tuesday, 125th Street regulars said some nearby bodegas that used to sell K2 either no longer did or had been shut down, forcing people to bring it up from Brooklyn or Bronx bodegas, for example, that had avoided enforcement. (A Brooklyn bodega near the hospitalization incident was raided by law enforcement officials on Tuesday.)
There is no law against using K2, and many in the group openly were: passing around long joints that quickly became smaller ones, huddling under the eaves of the station on the slim sidewalk, watching for opportunities to open taxi doors and make a quick buck. When one joint was finished, another appeared.
Unpredictable drug
For many, it is a drug of contradictions.
A regular who gave his name as Ousmane says the 30-minute high sometimes gave him a stomachache. He had smoked an hour or so before we spoke.
It's cheaper than weed—one cigarette for a dollar or two, for example—but problematic for many who couldn't reliably control it. Some pass out, Ousmane says, while some are fine. He'd recently witnessed someone smoking K2 in nearby Marcus Garvey Park. On his third pull, he started bleeding from the mouth.
It sometimes makes for issues among the regulars—fighting, hallucinating, throwing up—and brings the inevitable police attention. A common complaint among the group is the police moving them from spot to spot—away from the station to a school a few blocks away, and then back. Always shuttling, never really going anywhere. Sometimes regulars will find housing but still come back to visit.
Ousmane was clear-eyed about the drug's unpredictability, but says it had its value.
"It makes you go to sleep," Ousmane says—no small benefit when you're sleeping on hard concrete, a thin layer of cardboard for a mattress. He recently got a room through an outreach provider, but he'd been living on the street for months before then, including the winter.
During those times, the drug "makes me feel good," he says.

This is at least internally consistent until you concede some kind of role for the government. And that's the problem militarization presents to the right.
Capitalism implies no upper limit to the police power we invest in the state, but it demands a minimum: at the very least, the state must maintain a capacity for violence superior to the general population. That, after all, is what it takes to enforce contracts, to protect private property, and to deter criminals.
But having conceded this, Capitalists cannot, as they usually do, simply delegate the task of optimization to the market - that responsibility falls squarely in the lap of the government, which must retain its monopoly on violence. And this, of course, is the basic task of liberal governance: exercising the power of the state as responsibly and rationally as possible.
Functionally, Libertarians are using "militarized policing" in the exact same way that liberals use the word "tyranny" - to make a pragmatic distinction between irresponsible and responsible uses of force. As any NRA member will gleefully explain to you, distinctions between "military" equipment and "police" equipment are mostly arbitrary, based on the exact same logic that pinko hippies would use to justify singling out "assault rifles" from "hunting rifles" for regulation. We are not dealing with categorically different types of state violence here - just different degrees. Proportion and propriety can only be evaluated through the hard work of liberal democratic governance.

Tie-dye Crop Top*: Brat & Suzie
Dungaree Skirt*: Chicnova
Socks: Primark
Trainers: Primark
Bracelets: H & M
Collar Necklace*: Accessorize
I can't believe how quickly this year is flying by. September already! I had a lovely weekend, enjoying the sunshine with my boyfriend. As much as I love how nice the weather has been lately, I'm still pretty excited for Autumn. September reminds me so much of back to school stationary, autumn leaves and the prospect of Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas around the corner.
It's definitely turning cooler so I'm trying to make the most out of my summer wardrobe before the season passes me by. I was sent this Brat & Suzie top a while ago and I absolutely love its candy colours and tie-dye design. It has a tie-up waist but I quite like how it looks tucked into my Chicwish dungaree-esque skirt. I added my collar necklace from Accessorize to the outfit to give it a touch of bling, and paired my pale pink trainers with some cute mint glittery socks from Primark. I really like this outfit although the skirt is veeeeeeeeery short!
I have a birthday present haul video going up on my YouTube channel very soon so would love it if you could subscribe to me here :) I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

3D OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)
OCT is a medical imaging technique that provides a very high resolution image of the retina, the optic nerve, and the anterior segment of the eye including the cornea and iris. Think of OCT as a high resolution MRI that provides your doctor a 3-Dimensional image of your retina.
Our doctors use this instrument to investigate pathology of the eye on the order of 1/1000th of a millimeter. We can determine progression of glaucoma, macular degeneration, macular pucker, as well as many other types of pathology.
At Eye Care Center of Ocala we are always using the best equipment to provide the best care for our patients!

UNICO NATIONAL- Kansas City Chapter, Inc
Dear UNICO member,
Back to Business! We have much to be proud of in 2010, but the true test lies ahead of us. There is so much we have accomplished, however there is more we still can achieve. We all can agree the foundation of our group and future success will come from membership. If we can continue to grow our membership, more doors will open and more good will be done for those who need it. I'd like to set a personal goal for each member to sign up one new member before our Festa. This gives us until June 3rd to reach our goal. At the very least, Joe Nastasi will be pleased with the additional choices he'll have for volunteers.
As many of you know, the UNICO National Board of Directors Mid-Western & Western Regional Meetings for 2011 will be held in Kansas City. The Intercontinental Kansas City, at the Plaza, will host the events that will take place March 23-27, 2011. To be chosen as the city that will host this event is quite the honor. Past UNICO President Andre DiMino had pushed for this after his visit at last year's Festa. I have attached a registration form that you will need to mail to UNICO National if you would like to attend the meetings or ceremonies. Current UNICO National President, Chris DiMattio, has asked me to do my best to get as many members as I can to attend the event. Meetings are in the day, but the awards ceremony and dinner is Saturday evening. A reception will be held on Friday evening. Saturday evening will feature the Marconi Award Dinner Gala. Your spouse is invited to attend both nights.
Moving on to new business, our next fundraiser will be or annual fish dinner at St. Andrew's Catholic School, from 5-8pm. The fish dinner will be held on March 11, 2011. The UNICO-St. Andrew's Fish Dinner has been a long time tradition for many Unicans. With your support, we will keep this tradition going. UNICO has committed to purchase a large statue that will be placed in the church. We will need volunteers to help work this event. We ask all UNICO members to sell 10 tickets or purchase the tickets as a donation. Ticket prices are $7 for an adult and $3 for children. I'll be handing out tickets at or next dinner meeting. If you're unable to attend the next meeting, please look for the tickets in the mail.
I still believe that Unicans that eat together will stay together!

Financial Foundations: Part 3 – Frugality
This is the third of ten posts describing the key pillars of building a strong financial foundation. Read the introduction here. Check back each Monday for the next post in the series.
If my closest friends had to describe me in a few words, frugal definitely be would be one of them. Strangely enough, I can still remember the first time I heard the word. Charles Barkley was on a talk show commenting about the salaries of professional athletes and mentioned that he was frugal. "I like that word" I thought to myself.
It pretty much summed up my view on money at the time. I only spent money on what I wanted. Frugal is defined as being "economical in use or expenditure; prudently saving or sparing; not wasteful". To me, frugality is the cornerstone of being successful in personal finance.
Being Frugal vs. Being Cheap
Many people view frugality as being cheap, but I beg to differ. My favorite quote about the argument between frugality and being a cheapskate comes from April Dykman in a guest post at Get Rich Slowly.
"Frugal and cheap are two different things. Cheap people only care about the price tag. Frugal people care about value and are willing to spend where it matters."
When I go shopping I look for value. If a more expensive item will add more value to my life, make someone else happier or make the world better I will consider purchasing it over something that costs less. I won't buy the brand name food if it has the same ingredients and taste as the generic or store brand food. For example, I'll buy the generic brand for milk, cheese, canned vegetables and other groceries, but I am a stickler when it comes to orange juice (I mainly buy Simply Orange).
The same goes for buying used goods. I have purchased used books, furniture, video games, movies, appliances and more, but I wouldn't purchase used bedding or linens (mainly for sanitation reasons). When I buy something used or that is the store brand I don't feel as though I am being cheap, I am instead saving money for other parts of my life.
Be Frugal in Everything
Some people will be extremely frugal in parts of their life but not in others. They may eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich every single day for lunch to save money, but not research a major purchase or go into debt to buy a new car. It is important to not just be frugal in some areas of your life, but all of them. You can be frugal with the activities and hobbies you enjoy the most too.
One of my hobbies is movies, but there a few ways I am able to be frugal with them. One way is by using only gift cards I get to purchase movies. I also swap my movies (and books) using the website SwapADVD.com. I attend movies using gift cards and free passes that I get through work and my apartment complex. Lastly, I use the library and Netflix to get the latest or classic movies at a lower rental cost.
Don't Worry about How it Looks
One aspect of frugality that keeps people from practicing it is what other people will think of them. I used to worry about having the latest video games and systems that my friends had so that I wouldn't feel left out. I wanted them to see that I was playing the latest games and wanted to fit in with them. In reality, none of that mattered. I could just have easily gone without any of those games and I would most likely be better off financially and mentally!
Being Frugal Can Give You More Time
Possessions possess your time, so the less things you have to maintain, the more time you have to spend on parts of your life that you enjoy. If you buy more house than you need, you have all this extra space to fill with furniture you don't need, more rooms to clean and a bigger yard to maintain. If you are just as happy living in a smaller space, you can have more time for yourself or to spend with others.
Being Frugal = More Savings
A way to see how frugal you are being is by taking the money you save by either not buying something or by buying a less expensive version and setting it aside. You could put it in a piggy bank, envelope or a savings account to help pay off debt or build an emergency fund. Did you put back that junk food at the store? Put the savings in your account. Did you say no to going out for lunch and stick with your PB&J sandwich today? Put the money you would have spent out at lunch aside. Over time you will begin to see how much money you can save by being frugal day in and day out.
Look at your recent purchases. Could any of those been avoided if you would have thought about being frugal? Feel free to let me know below in a comment.

A table tennis video explaining the forehand drive.
Watch and learn...
By Martin Hughes
Owner and Editor
Watching a video in order to learn how to correctly play a table tennis stroke can be easier than reading just text, so I've got a great video here for you.
This video shows a demonstration of the forehand drive and explains the technique required to play the stroke.
But first, here's a brief explanation...
The forehand drive would normally be used when your opponent plays his shot in such a way that the ball approaches you with height and/or depth.
The purpose of this stroke is to play aggressively and stop your opponent from playing an attacking stroke, so you should try to make sure that your shot lands close to your opponent's baseline or sideline.
^ Top of page ^
Let's take a look at the...
To play this stroke, stand close to the table and take a sideways stance facing the line of play.
Using a medium stroke, your racket arm should move forward and slightly upwards in the direction that the ball is going to travel, whilst your free arm should point towards the ball to assist with your body turn and balance.
During your stroke, your upper body should rotate approx. 45 degrees to the right then turn back to face the ball, whilst your body weight moves from your right foot to your left.
The racket angle should be slightly closed to impart topspin.
Hit the ball at the top of the bounce (i.e. when the ball it at its highest point) using 50% of your stroke action before hitting the ball and 50% after hitting the ball.

You don't know me.../
I love this picture of Sarah Vaughan reclining. It's an unguarded, almost stolen moment. And as her biographer, I'm always searching for these kinds of private moments, glimpses into the woman behind the art. This is not an easy task. After years of studying her life, I'm not convinced that Vaughan, as much as she wanted to succeed as a performer, wanted the public to know her, to know her definitive truth.
She left behind no tell-all memoir or autobiography like her contemporaries Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Anita O'Day, or Nina Simone. Nor did she give many interviews, and when she did, she remained notoriously tightlipped much to the frustration of the journalists tasked with writing about her. British journalist Max Jones covered Vaughan's career for more than thirty years and likened her resistance to questioning to the aversion most people have to eating tripe. If she were living today, I doubt she would be on Twitter.
When Max Jones first met Vaughan in 1950, he said "getting to know her a little meant penetrating barriers of reserve, dignity, and, no doubt, justifiable distrust, and coping with a keen, often oblique sense of humor." She was aloof and reserved, polite but seemingly disinterested. Despite the intimacy almost everyone felt with her voice and her song, she bristled when fans – or the press – assumed too much familiarity. Vaughan had a talent for tapping into the essence of the human experience – it's ups and downs, comic and tragic turns – then communicating her insights to listeners. Her fans believed that they shared an intimate, real life connection with her, and unlike the musical stars of today she did not encourage it. She saw herself as a professional entertainer, not everybody's friend. When fans approached her after a concert and called her "Sarah," Vaughan was offended. "They don't know me," she once said, "and they should say Miss Vaughan, or Mrs. Atkins, or something. That's what I would do. So I just keep walking."
I've often wondered how I would feel if one of my musical idols simply walked away when I approached. I'd be hurt, I think. But I've also wondered what it would be like living such a public, scrutinized life. Like Vaughan, I'm a private person, and I don't think I would enjoy it. Would you? What would you do to preserve your privacy?

Land Casinos vs Virtual Reality Casinos
It's a brave new world we live in, and virtual reality is changing everything. Casinos won't escape the shakeup, and in fact, the online gambling industry is the tip of the VR spear.
We're going to look at what VR casinos are, how they're likely to evolve and develop in the next few years, and how VR casinos compare to brick-and-mortar casinos. By the end, you'll have a much better idea of which is best for you.
Let's begin with the basics. If you're new to VR casinos, we'll take a look at exactly what they are and how they work.
What Is a VR Casino?
If you're a little confused by the very concept of a virtual reality casino, don't worry, you're not alone. We're entering uncharted territory with VR, and it's natural to feel a little mind boggled by the whole thing.
VR casinos, in a nutshell, are purely digital casinos which feel real.Virtual Reality Casinos
These are virtual mini-worlds generated by a VR headset, which allow you to move around the VR casino, interact with dealers and players, and play various casino games, just as you would if you were on the floor of Caesars Palace in Vegas.
They work in the same way any virtual reality experience does. You slip on your headset, and it generates a 3D world which you can explore. If you use a data glove, it's even possible to feel tactile sensations in VR casinos.
Pretty amazing stuff, isn't it? The truth is, VR is only getting started!

Comparing VR Casinos and Land-Based Casinos
The first casino to open on the Las Vegas strip was the El Rancho Vegas, way back in 1941. Ever since, Vegas has been the jewel in the crown of the casino world.
However, VR could shake Vegas (and elsewhere) up in a massive way. While we wouldn't go as far as saying it poses an existential threat to Sin City, it's certainly going to cause some casino owners a few sleepless nights.
As it develops and reaches its full potential, it's possible that you won't even need actually to go to Vegas or any other land-based casino in a physical sense!
With such exciting things on the horizon, it's natural to want to try VR casinos for yourself. Before making that decision, let's compare VR casinos to land-based ones, looking at both from various angles.
As far as actual mathematical probability goes, your chances of winning casino games are roughly the same in both VR and brick-and-mortar casinos.
Whether playing in a digitally generated world or a real-world establishment, a game of roulette is a game of roulette and the odds don't change that much.
Of course, they do change between variants (single zero versus double zero, for example), and the strategy you use, but whether you're playing in virtual reality or actual reality makes little difference.
One thing which could slightly improve your chances of winning at online VR casinos is the bonuses offered. Free spins on VR slots and deposit bonuses, for example, are widely available online. Unless you're a high-roller, a real-world casino is unlikely to comp you anything.
That said, each bonus comes with its own terms and conditions, and it's up to you to decide whether it actually helps or hinders you.
Human beings are social animals, and part of the fun of going to a casino is the chance to interact with other players and dealers.
Yet, VR is not a lonesome experience, either. As things have progressed, it's now possible to interact with other players' avatars within the VR casino. Dealers will also have avatars, and you can interact with them like you would when playing live casino games.
These simulated social interactions trigger the same chemicals in the brain as actual real-life scenarios. A rush of blood to the head when a hot avatar walks past, or a mutual grin when a winning streak occurs feel real to the brain, which interprets them the same.
Yet, there are definite limitations to the VR social experience. In a real-world casino, you can shake hands, high five, hug, enjoy drinks together, and maybe head to a club or after party with the people you meet there.
There's no denying it - real casinos win the social value point. For now, at least!
This is a tricky question to answer because it depends on a variety of factors such as how close you live to a brick-and-mortar casino.
It's probably best to outline the main costs associated with both, and you can decide for yourself which apply to you.
When playing at real-world casinos, costs include travel to and from the venue, food and drinks, the cost of playing the games themselves, and possibly hotel rooms (if on vacation). The minimum buy ins for table games is likely to be slightly higher, too.
The costs associated with playing at VR casinos include the initial headset price, a data glove (optional), and the cost of playing the games.
Since decent VR headsets can now be bought for as little as $100, we would say the cost of playing at real-world casinos is likely to be more.
Land casinos are by far the more popular, for now.
In 2017 alone, over 39 million people visited Las Vegas, and we're willing to bet a substantial percentage of them visited and played in a casino. Also keep in mind that while Vegas is casino mecca, the number of casinos there is a drop in the bucket when you consider the whole world.
VR casinos are springing up all over the web, and the number of online casino players is increasing year by year. As the experience gets better (more life-like) the demand for VR casino experiences will grow, and once a tipping point is reached, there's no telling how big virtual reality casinos could become.
There will always be some advantages to visiting a real casino, such as eating delicious food and enjoying real-life shows and entertainment, but as VR technology develops, that gap is going to begin closing.
Let's revisit this question again 10 years from now and see what's up!
Ask 20 people what "fun" means, and you'll get 20 different answers. Whether VR casinos or real ones are more fun depends entirely on one thing...you!
One the one hand, VR casinos can offer endless game variants (usually many more slots than real casinos can offer, for example), the convenience of slipping on a headset and playing in the comfort of your own home, and the chance for shyer, more introverted players to interact in a way they feel comfortable with.
On the other hand, land-based casinos offer tasty food, alcoholic beverages, most offer some form of entertainment such as a band, and there's the chance to meet other real people and enjoy all the other scenarios which may unfold from your interactions with them.
Both VR and land-based casinos are fun in their own ways. We'll leave it to you to decide which is more fun.
That's a good question, and the answer is, both have some risks, and they are completely different.
You'll be happy to know that the chances of being held up in robbery in a real-world casino are pretty slim. While such instances have occurred, they are extremely rare. Your chances of being held up in a virtual reality casino, however, are zero.
Where money is involved, a few aggressive outbursts and fights are inevitable. The odd highly-strung player does kick off at a real-world casino after losing, but the danger to other players are minimal. Take a look at the security team the next time you enter such an establishment. Very few dare to mess with those guys.
With regards to theft, the risks in both instances are slim, as long as you play at reputable casinos. The best VR casinos operate on secure, encrypted connections and take data security seriously. The best real-world casinos have world-class security operations, so the only real danger is if you leave the joint with a 6-figure sum of cash in a briefcase.
Deciding Which is Best for You
Remember, most of the points listed above have a subjective quality to them and depend on you as a person and your individual preferences. It's impossible to put an objective spin on "fun," for example.
You'll need to consider:
- What sorts of games you want to play, and which offers the best variety
- What your budget is, and which offers you the most bang for your buck
- Whether you are willing to invest in a solid VR headset if you decide to go that route
- Whether you want to meet real people or are more comfortable interacting online
- What you're looking for from the overall experience. Do you just want to play games, or do you want to eat, drink, and be entertained, as well?
- Which is safer, from your own perspective of risk
- Whether or not you're going to spend enough to get perks from a real casino, or whether an online VR casino is more likely to give you a bonus
Answer whether a real-world casino or VR casino suits you best for each of the points above, then add up your total number of answers for each. This will tell you which type of casino is best for you.
VR casinos still have a long way to go before they catch up with the overall experience of real-world casinos, but there are already some ways in which they have the competitive edge.
While you can't eat a real steak dinner in a 5-star restaurant at a VR casino, you can sit on your own sofa, without having to move an inch, and enjoy an equally immersive experience.
Ultimately, there are pros and cons to both. Hopefully, this has been an insightful read and you now have a better idea as to which type of casino you should choose.
Either way, best of luck. May the gods of odds have you in their favor!
Frequently Asked Questions
See the Virtual Reality Casinos button above? Whichever casino is in the top spot on that page is the one we favor, currently. We constantly review and update our VR casino rankings. You can read in-depth reviews of each one before making a decision.
Things are developing quickly, and the experience is getting more and more refined, extremely quickly. You can even experience the sensation of touch in VR casinos if you use a data glove. However, you'll still know you're in a VR casino. Reality still has the edge, for now!
The nature of virtual reality itself imposes some limitations. For example, you can't taste or smell anything. The other senses, including vision, hearing, and touch, are all engaged, though.
Even still, the sensation of shaking hands with an attractive fellow casino player just isn't quite the same when interacting with avatars rather than real people.
Lastly, there are some functions such as cashing out your chips which can't yet be done in VR casinos. You'll have to go back to the main casino website to do those things, whereas you can just cash in and walk out of a real casino.
No, they're not dangerous. The worst that can happen is you might feel a little sick if you play for hours on end, just like if you stare at any screen without regular breaks.
As for the addiction question, there is likely some extra risk. Since VR casinos are so immersive and fun, you'll need to gamble responsibly by setting account limits, scheduling regular "reality checks," and never depositing more money to chase losses.
All you really need is a decent VR headset and an account at a VR casino. As long as your computer has good enough specs, you're ready to go. Experience enhancers like data gloves are entirely optional.

Holcomb | 26 August 2015 Biosimilar market penetration will be highly dependent upon the physician, patient, and price while the pharmacy benefit manager and benefit design will also have an impact through formulary design and utilization management programs. This study quantifies the impact of biosimilar savings to employers and takes a close look at the potential drivers of cost savings and their variablity. Employers can use this study to help understand the implications of such changes on future healthcare expenditures and to understand the timing of these changes and how benefit design or pharmacy cost management will affect future cost savings.

A couple of new participants joined us today, so we spent some time going over the group guidelines, what we've been up to, what we hope to do, and what the "newbies" hope to get out of and bring to the group. Throughout the day, they were very willing to participate in what we were doing, putting their initial shyness aside to have fun and offer opinions and ideas. We began with warm ups, a favorite quick-thinking game, and a very silly circle game to get everyone loosened up and show the new people that it's okay to be goofy. It was great.
The group then decided to read through the contemporary English summary of The Tempest that I provided them to catch up the new participants. They added details as we went through it.
Then they decided that they wanted to begin casting the show, since many of them already have favorite characters, rather than having everyone experiment with different characters. I prefer to let decisions like this be made by group consensus, especially when they all agree, and they did in this case. So we began to list which person is interested in each character. Some people chose only one, while others left themselves open to fill in anywhere. One woman does not feel drawn to any characters yet. I asked them all to spend some more time with the play and see if they could find at least three characters with which they would be happy. I also asked them to start thinking about how they would cast the play as a whole, since there are multiple people interested in certain characters, and we'll need to make some decisions as a group.
We've been doing a lot of talking lately, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but I know that many of them are itching to get back on their feet. I hope that we'll be able to do that in the next session.

Scallop Festival
Every year, Rye, East Sussex devotes an entire week to one scrumptious underwater clam—the scallop. The 16th Rye Bay Scallop Week is scheduled for Saturday 24th February – Sunday 4th March 2018.
Scallop fossils date back 3 million years, and the shell of this tiny seafaring creature has been used symbolically for hundreds of thousands of years. Its shell is found in many well-known business logos as well as in Princess Diana's coat of arms. It can also be seen on Prince William's Knight of the Garter crest.
Aside from its history with the Royal family, the scallop holds many secrets that the average person may or may not realize. It is a hermaphrodite in its shell, and includes both a male gonad and a female gonad, along with a gill, a foot, a mouth, a fully working digestive gland, mantle and hinge ligament. It swims along the ocean floor when startled but moves very little aside from being spooked. It also has a tentacle and eye spot along with ears. It is very similar to a fish but is known in the scientific community as a mollusc.
Scallops tend to prefer clean, fresh salinity water and do quite well in the warmer waters off of the southern coast of England and Wales. They don't grow to maturity until around 3 years of age, and you can tell this by looking at their stripes on their shells. For every band on their shell, they've been alive for one year. They spawn every year from April to September and increase in growth from April to June.
When consumed, the Scallop is widely accepted to be an aphrodisiac. In terms of nutrition, the Scallop provides a nutrient dense source of Vitamin B12, protein, iron and calcium.
Rye and Rye Bay have long since been a source for scallops and have been fished there for hundreds of years. Even King Charles himself stated, "The cheapest sea-towne for provision of fish in our house," when referring to this tiny sea faring town. Rye's fishing fleet moors nearly two miles from the sea, but nonetheless bring up hundreds of thousands of scallops every single year.
If you're looking for an easy way to indulge your taste buds in seafood dishes, then you don't want to miss this event. A variety of restaurants will be there showcasing their scallop based dishes, all featuring freshly caught scallops and other seafood-based culinary fair. If you have your heart set on tasting and enjoying the finest scallops in England, then you'll definitely want to make it out to this festival.
In addition to the wide array of delicious foods and perfectly cooked scallops, the Scallop Festival will also be including tasting events, cookery schools and demonstrations as well as local live music and much more. The Scallop Festival is an all ages event and perfect for the entire family, so don't hesitate to bring the whole lot!
The Rye Lodge Hotel is the perfect place to stay during your visit. Rye is an ancient city that holds a rich history, and the Hotel is located right in the town.

Rye Arts Festival
Rye Arts Festival
Later this year Rye is once again going to host its' renowned Rye Arts Festival. The most famous art festival in the area will be drawing crowds from all parts of UK over the two week period in September 2016. It is the best time to visit Rye and enjoy this stunning medieval town. We recommend making your room reservation as soon as possible as Rye Lodge Hotel is in such a prime position with a large,secure car park and indoor swimming pool with spa, rooms are booked well in advance of the Arts Festival.
Rye Arts Festival has been attracting top quality artists for the past 44 years. This year it's going to be the 45th Anniversary. What can you expect? Only the most acclaimed book authors, theatre actors and musicians coming together for this famous event. The fact that all of the activities take place just a few steps from Rye Lodge Hotel is an amazing bonus! Have an evening stroll along the cobbled streets on a warm September evening, watch performances and enjoy a glass of wine or a pint of beer in one of the town's ancient inns.
Family friendly events
Last year's festival was particularly successful hosting, amongst others: Dame Ellen MacArthur, Peter Snow, Sir Max Hastings, Benjamin Grosvenor and many more. With over 58 events during the two week period in September 2015, Rye Arts Festival entertained many thousands of visitors. Many events and exhibitions are FREE to attend, which is a fantastic opportunity to be part of the fun, especially if coming with a larger group.
If you are looking for a family friendly event, we recommend attending a pop-up show by a local artist, who will be talking about his work and you will have the chance to see a painting come to life! Last year Luke Hannam hosted a number of exhibitions in a pop-up studio in Rye town centre. FREE to attend, these events attracted crowds of all ages with the children particularly enjoying watching the process of creating a painting whilst parents enjoyed chatting to the artist and seeing his completed projects during the show.
Fans of opera will be delighted to know that the Rye Arts Festival is hosting some fine performances during the two weeks in September. Mozart's masterpiece, Don Giovanni, was staged twice during last year's celebrations. Alisdair Kitchen, the brilliant conductor, directed the show with his acclaimed Euphonic orchestra. According to the festival's website:
"The first performance was superb and received a standing ovation for many minutes. As the audience left the theatre, chatting to each other, they were finding it difficult to pick out a single performer for special comment, as the main cast were seemingly of equal, exceptionally high standard. The acting, the singing and the orchestra were all of excellent quality and, if you missed this one, you must make every effort to attend the second and final performance on Saturday 26th September…".
This year there will be even more examples of outstanding artists from the world of opera and classical music coming to Rye to perform their best pieces for your enjoyment!
Take part in Art!
An exciting twist on all exhibitions is the fact that Rye's first ever Artist in Residence, Charlie Cobb, records impressions of all places, people and events during the festival. This acclaimed artist is going to attend shows hosted during the two weeks in September and sketch all that surrounds him. His unique pieces will be on display and available to view – and purchase – in his pop-up studio gallery on the last day of the event. Not to be missed!
Rye Arts Festival is a registered charity run by local volunteers. The aim is to promote the appreciation and understanding of classical music, theatre, literature and visual arts. The charity also loves involving the younger generation by giving local students a chance to attend the festival committee meetings during the academic year.

Technological advancements have given rise to a plethora of online platforms that seek to provide free education to all those with internet access. These online platforms are hence affectionately termed MOOCs: Massively Open Online Courses.
Subjects ranging from STEM subjects to even liberal arts are being provided through the use of media like videos and lecture notes made free via these learning platforms. In recent years, programming has become a particularly hot subject on these MOOC platforms.At Early Coders Academy, we've heard from people who've given up on learning programming halfway through consuming such MOOC courses. This phenomenon occurs more frequently than we would expect.
According to statistics collected by www.katyjordan.com/MOOCproject.html, we notice that MOOC course completion rates for programming floats around the 20% and below mark. This is indeed shocking, and unprecedented.
Shouldn't the idea of "free education" be enough to propel one to want to learn, and to complete it? Being the curious folks that we are, we've decided to go on to interview some of these folks that fail to complete programming courses. Here, we've collated and present to you the top 3 problems with learning programming online:
1) Lack of mentors
The lack of a great mentor is pretty much one of the bigger reasons why most people give up, halfway into learning programming. Programming is not a simple topic to grasp, and anybody who says programming is easy, falls under either one of the 2 categories:
a) He/she is speaking from hindsight bias,
b) He/she has a "Genius-like" learning aptitude. For the most of us, we fall under neither of these 2 categories, and this is why having a mentor is so important to us. For the moments where we encounter tough programming problems that we are unable to solve, MOOCs do not always provide the avenues for us to solve such problems.
As a result of this, MOOC learners tend to become increasingly distressed with the prospect of having to deal with something that they can't easily find answers for. Most give up, which explains the low completion rates on MOOCs.
For those that decide to stick it through, they have something that the rest do not, and that is Passion. With passion, these individuals can find it deep within themselves to grit their teeth and continue the learning by spending easily 2 times the amount of time most people spend. In case, it isn't obvious enough, MOOCs cannot teach you passion, mentors can imbue you with passion.
Passion is an all-important part in learning. As an educated society, haven't we all experienced that eureka moment in learning? Being able to do well in Mathematics/Sciences/Arts subjects makes us passionate in them, because we feel good about it. An analogy of having Mentors VS MOOCs would be: would you rather have a nice road paved for you to reach your destination, OR would you rather have a jungle of trees, a series of detour, and a dissuading harsh environment? Some people prefer the latter, but hey, we don't all have the time in the world to waste on detours do we?
"MOOCs cannot teach you passion, mentors can imbue you with passion"
2) Learning mismatched with intent
When people attend a MOOC, they join for a variety of reasons. There may be the intention to learn Game development, to learn Web Application development, Mobile App development etc.
However, due to the technical nature of learning programming, more often than not, there are prerequisites to learning. Essentially, there is a learning roadmap, which is not immediately clear to learners on MOOCs.
How many of you have taken up CS101 with the intention to learn anything other than CS101? I believe there are many, and these people eventually give up when they realise that what they are learning has no relevance to what they actually intend to learn. Learning well is all about understanding the big picture.
The failure to understand the big picture tends to demoralise learners as they have no clue where they are in the sea of knowledge. Heck, they don't even know how much more they need to learn in order to reach the capabilities of what they wish to create.
"Learning is all about understanding the big picture"
3) Inflexibility of learning
The learning content of MOOCs is not customised to the learning styles and pace of individuals. This becomes a huge problem for learners because they don't feel understood.
And when that happens, it gets demoralising because MOOCs tend to teach in a one-dimensional manner. The learning platform cannot conform to the way you wish to learn.
Some people prefer practices, while others prefer understanding the theory. These eLearn videos do not understand your weaknesses, and neither do you understand your own weaknesses. This brings us back to our first pointer, where talked about the value of having a mentor. A mentor is able to weed out the inconsistencies and weaknesses of an individual when learning programming. Since MOOCs are not able to do so, learning becomes a pain for students, and this pain is converted into the high "give-up" rates that we observe.
Just like how piano lessons are structured, we can always choose to learn piano online, or we can choose to get an instructor to teach us. The biggest difference between the both approaches being that, an instructor can choose to teach us differently due to the small size of our hands, or even to teach us based on our aptitude in learning music!
At the end of it all…
There are of course a whole lot more reasons why MOOCs are not optimal for learning programming. The above are the reasons that we have collated from after having talked to many people who face problems with trying to self-learn programming. This isn't comprehensive, but it should compel you to understand that anybody can learn programming. BUT, learning programming from MOOCs is not for everyone.
"Anybody can learn programming, but not everybody can learn programming from MOOCs"
At Early Coders Academy, we have top notch mentors that have the industry experience to help learners map their learning intent into customised educational content. With our industry validated curriculum, we're positioned perfectly to provide our students with top-notch education. This is what differentiates us from MOOCs. Take up learning programming with us today, to learn twice as fast as MOOC learners (time is important!), and to learn twice as deep as MOOC learners (depth of knowledge is also important!). Learn with us to build your own pet projects, or even to create the next Facebook or Google!
On this note:
If you have any questions regarding programming, be sure to email us your questions at [email protected]! We'd be more than happy to break it down for you.

If you missed part one, go here first!
"I bet we have a baby by noon!" Teresa said as Alice Ann filled the tub and Daniel helped me undress and get in. Teresa told me to try hands and knees because discomfort probably meant Edie was moving down and putting pressure on my bottom through each contraction. I stayed in the tub as long as I could stand the heat. Daniel wiped cold towels along my neck and rubbed my back with lavender oil, and pretty soon I felt the urge to poop, which was what we were waiting on. That sensation means your body is ready to push, and when you can't help but give in, it's go time. Even though I'd learned this, I was pretty tired by this point from staying up all night with diarrhea and contractions two minutes apart. I told them I thought it could be the castor oil coming back to get me, so I got out of the tub and sat on the toilet. Nothing came out--I figured it was time to bring this babe into the world.
I told them I'd planned to try squatting, so they brought me a birth stool so I could rest my legs for the first bit of pushing while in the squat position. I began pushing three to four times with each contraction. I asked Teresa how I could know if I was doing it right, and she told me to use the same muscles I would during a bowel movement. Alice Ann placed a hand mirror under me so I could see how things were opening up. I stayed on the stool for a while, and my contractions started to space out. We talked a lot in between them until I realized things were stalling. I asked what I could do to "get her out faster," and Teresa told me to walk around the room to see if that helped like it did earlier that morning. I took two steps and a contraction came on strong, so I hurried back into my squat on the stool and pushed. I ended up doing this little get up, take two steps and sit back down to push dance for the next hour. After no signs of progress, Alice Ann suggested I stay standing and slow dance with Daniel. He supported me through contractions as I stood in a wide-legged squat and leaned into him.
At this point I started to feel a little discouraged, like I wasn't doing it right. Teresa offered to check baby's position. I got on the bed and she waited for a contraction to feel for Edie's head. This is when we found out she was stuck behind my pubic bone, which wasn't moving for her the way it was supposed to. Teresa told me to turn on my side and push for two contractions and then roll over and push for two more to see if we could wiggle her down. Side lying made me feel like crawling into a hole to die, and I remember asking if they could just pull her out. They kept telling me I was going to bring her down and each push moved muscles and made progress. I asked if they could see her head and they said no, but that didn't dictate whether or not I was moving her.
It was two or three o'clock by this point, and I was really starting to doubt their encouragement. I was mostly starting to doubt myself, and I began saying things like, "I can't do this." I had never felt so exhausted, and we still couldn't see Eden's head. I thought she might not even be real--we weren't getting anywhere. I asked if I could just go to sleep and start over tomorrow, but I knew that wasn't possible with the pain I was in. I begged them to let me take a break and get in the shower so Daniel could rub my back.
We stood in the shower for an hour or two and I squatted and tried to push with each contraction. I was crying again and Alice Ann brought me the birth stool to sit on under the water. I told her I couldn't do it. "And I'm not just saying that--ask Daniel, I'm an incredibly determined person but I really have nothing left. I can't push anymore--my body is done." She kept telling me to say, "I can do this" out loud, but I wouldn't. I crawled off the stool and onto the floor, where I stayed in the hands and knees position for a few minutes before collapsing against the wall. I couldn't see straight. "I'm going to pass out. I'm passing out," I told them, and Alice Ann asked me if I would drink tea if she made me some. I said, "I don't know," and Daniel started forcing me to take sips of water.
I asked if this is what it felt like to be dehydrated because I'd never been before. I realized I'd had less water in the past 24 hours than I usually drink over the course of an hour any given day, and I'd been up all night having diarrhea. "I have nothing left," I told them again. By this point it was past six. Teresa suggested I get back on the bed and push on my side again and she'd check to see if I was using the right muscles. Daniel helped me across the room and I got on the bed, but I couldn't get myself to really push. "I know we're doing this all naturally, but would you be up for an IV of sugar water? It's not a medical intervention--you just need some energy." Teresa asked. I told her I didn't care at this point and that they could send me over to the hospital and cut me open. "It's been over 24 hours, isn't my time up?" She told me that since I was progressing we could stay there. I didn't think I was progressing.
I got hooked up to an IV while Daniel rubbed my back, and I soon found myself starting to talk and joke around again. I asked Daniel to take my top leg and hold it, and I began pushing on my own. Alice Ann said, "Yes, Jordan! Good!" and Teresa said she was going to use her fingers to push against the muscles I should be using. It hurt REALLY badly and kind of made me mad, so I pushed back as hard as I could. She said I was moving the muscles around my pubic bone so it could move out of baby girl's way. I alternated sides and pushed for a while, but her head still wasn't coming down. I moved to all fours--nothing. My contractions started to space out again, and after a while they were over ten minutes apart. I had more energy, but my body was over it.
"Why are they slowing down?" I asked Teresa. She said my uterus was tired--I'd been pushing since 10 a.m. and in labor since yesterday--most women don't last that long. After a long stretch of very few contractions, she brought in an herbal tincture to put under my tongue and an electric breast pump (nipple stimulation can bring on strong contractions). After hooking me up for twenty minutes, my contractions were back and stronger than ever. I pushed, and as soon as each contraction was over, they'd hook me back up to the pump. Suddenly I didn't feel any relief--they were coming one on top of another. Baby's head was still nowhere to be seen, though. I asked at what point we would give up and I'd get transferred, and Teresa said we'd evaluate in an hour, but we could have a baby by then.
Alice Ann had been checking Edie's heart rate with a doppler every 15 minutes, and baby girl wasn't phased at all by the long labor or crazy contractions. Teresa kept telling me it was completely due to my rigorous exercise routine throughout my pregnancy, and Alice Ann told me most women would have been transferred for a c section hours ago due to the baby getting stressed out. As the night went on, they would laugh each time they listened to her heart beat. "She's just hanging out in there," Teresa would say.
Sometime around nine, she said, "Okay, I hate even suggesting this and you're going to hate it, too. But this is our last resort. We're going to do hospital position for a couple of contractions--just a couple, okay? Get on your back and pull your legs wide."
I did as I was told. I pushed and made all kinds of crazy low Tarzan woman noises. It was uncomfortable. Teresa asked me if I could hold my breath while pushing, and I tried it. Daniel was rubbing my arms and shoulders when she yelled, "Yes--a full head of dark hair!" And Daniel jumped up to stand behind her. I pushed again, and he exclaimed, "I see her, babe! She has a full head of hair! I see her!" I asked him if he really saw her and he was so excited, I had to believe him. That was all I needed--she existed and her daddy could see her--I had to get her out so we could meet her.
I stayed in that position for a while before getting up on my own accord. I crawled off the bed and all of a sudden being upright forced me to push harder--I felt like baby girl was trying to crawl out of my bottom. I squatted beside the bed and gave it everything I had, and I guess based on how I looked and sounded, Alice Ann knew it was time to grab the mirror and put gloves on. Joy, a birth center nurse, came into the room at some point to assist in caring for us post-birth.
"I had planned on catching her, but babe, do you want to catch her? Can Daniel catch her?" I asked while trying to breathe. Alice Ann explained to him that she would back him up but he could catch her, and to let her turn her head.
Teresa told me to look down at the mirror with my next push if I could keep my eyes open. I yelled something like, "My baby! I see my baby!" and I felt her head move. "Is there anything I need to know about this whole 'ring of fire' business?" I asked. Alice Ann told me it would be any minute, and Teresa said she could talk me through it but I'd really have to listen to her instructions. I asked what I needed to know and she said to let her crown and then let off--let her rock back so she could stretch me gradually, and then push her to crowning again and hold her there. Then I could do little grunt-pushes and ease her head out. "But I can talk you through it when we get there," she said. I guess I wasn't up for waiting, because I held the next push as long as I could until she crowned, sucked in a big breath, and pushed again, then did as I was told with the little pushes. I heard Alice Ann and Teresa both saying, "Good! Good, Jordan!" so I figured we were doing okay. Daniel asked if it burned and I said, "It burns, but it's not that bad." I felt more calm than I'd felt all day--I was working to bring my baby out.
And suddenly, her cone head was between my legs and I noticed how much bigger it was than I expected. I put my hands on her hair and listened to Alice Ann explain to Daniel to let her turn and throw up, and then she would probably be out with my next push. Daniel tells me she did just that--I could only see the back of her head--and then Teresa said I could bring her out whenever I was ready.
At 11:08 p.m., 31 hours after my water broke, I took a deep breath and held it. I don't remember what that last push felt like, but I do remember standing up and turning around so my husband could hand my daughter to me.
"It's a boy!" I yelled as he passed her to me backward and I felt between her legs before I could see her. Everyone burst out laughing as I realized it was just the umbilical cord and I was more tired than I thought.
Eden let out a big cry and I asked if I could do skin to skin. Alice Ann helped me onto the bed and put a blanket over the beautiful baby girl on my chest. Edie latched fairly quickly as the birth team wiped blood off of us. When the cord stopped pulsing, Daniel cut it and I delivered the placenta. Alice Ann was checking our latch when I suddenly felt a strong, warm flow of liquid between my legs. "I think I'm bleeding," I told her and Teresa checked me and said I needed a shot to stop it immediately. They ended up giving me two shots--my body wanted to get rid of everything after 30 plus hours of labor, I guess. They cleaned me up and informed me I didn't tear (hooray!).
Joy checked our vitals as Eden nursed, and when everything looked good, the three of us were left alone to bond for a little bit. We stared at our girl and picked apart her little features. We decided she looks like her mommy (which we've been told by everyone who has met her since then) but has her daddy's feet, for sure. Daniel told me he was so proud of me. I told him I couldn't believe we did it after all of that--I really didn't think I was going to be able to.
Alice Ann and Joy came back in to check our vitals again and record all of Edie's measurements. She weighed seven pounds, four ounces and was nineteen inches long. Joy helped me up and told me they wanted me to try to pee, which I was able to do just fine. She cleaned the blood off of my legs and asked if I could wipe the blood out of my butt crack because she wanted to leave me with "a little dignity," which I found funny considering I'd been naked in every position imaginable in front of the birth team all day long.
Alice Ann brought me my clothes and I got dressed before getting back in bed. Joy went over postpartum care for both baby and me and then left us to get our stuff together and get Edie dressed. She checked our vitals one more time, then watched us put the babe in her carseat, and we were headed home just before the sun came up.
Although my labor was long, I wouldn't change a thing. My husband was not only by my side the whole time, he played an active role in keeping me relaxed and recognizing where I was in labor based on how I was acting. The care and encouragement I received at the birth center pushed me to do the most challenging, most beautiful thing I've ever done, and we are forever indebted to Kameron, Teresa, Alice Ann and Joy for helping us bring our baby girl into the world.
Also, the recovery has been AMAZING--I was able to get up and walk immediately and I felt like myself the next day. It's been awesome not having any pain distracting me from catering to little lady. :)

Only for indigenous authors, and mostly for Canadian ones, but narrow demographics don't scare us here at Literarium:
Are dreams merely wish fulfillment? Can they offer healing, guidance or insight through psycho-analysis? What do dreams reveal or conceal? Are they another level of reality? Do computers, AI entities, or androids dream? Are we living inside of a holographic universe? What do animals or monsters or ghosts or devils dream about? What if two people had the same dream? What if there were predators that stalked our dreams? What if designer-dreams became just another product to sell? Do dream-worlds exist? Are dreams multi-dimensional or cross-dimensional realities? Who is that dream-man or dream-woman? What if a dream came true? What if they always came true? Do places incite specific times of dreaming? Are we our ancestors' wildest dream come true?
They're after short fiction up to 5,000 words, paying 5c CAD/word. They'll accept stories in indigenous languages if accompanied by an English translation, and will accept submissions from non-Canadians, although due to government art funding 90% of their authors must be Canadian or expats paying tax to Canada. Hey, at least their government is offering funding, right?

Hi everyone
The thread is 11 years old but scrolling on the forum, I found this garbage and thought I couldn't let it go.
Nirvana has had close ties with the now extinct Positronics (Wernard Bruining) which is a legendary seedbank, and whose owner was the first to open a coffeshop in Amsterdam.
Nirvana is an excellent seedbank, on par with Sensi Seeds and Dutch Passion. They sell feminized AND regular seeds (double the amount of work..) and their strain are absolutely perfect. I used to think that the more expensive the better (remember Pukka seeds ? 200$ for an Afghani Skunk 10 pack ?) Well this is all bullshit.
I challenge any serious grower to dare say Nirvana Seedbank ain't worth shit.
Over the years, I've tried almost 10 strains of theirs.
From B-52 to Haze #13, New Purple Power, NLxShiva, Citral, Aurora Indica, California Orange, Swiss Cheese, NYPD.....
All were exceptional. The only one that I found disappointed is the Skunk Red Hair because it didn't produce much.
So get your facts right before bitching about a Seedbank that's been producing seeds since before you were born. That's too easy to say "scammer, rip-off, ladyboy wonderland" when you can't grow weed correctly and you're careless.
At the moment, I can't grow, but very soon, I'll show you was Nirvana seed is about in a large selection, and you'll see that you should've turned your tongue 7 times before doing bad publicity to a Seedbank that never asked you to buy their seeds and don't need you as a customer anyway.
Feel free to leave your opinion mates, don't leave me alone :)
Respect to you guys,

Also K2 (widow x hindu) that was phenomal at that time !
With a PUNGENT smell of ether/turpentine oil, that remembers White Russian quite well with an insane punch to the face type o high.
Do you guys know this strain ?
Personally this strain was too strong for me and like the B-52 better but hey to each its own, right ?
