Quantum Blackjack
If you play blackjack online then it's likely that you've seen Quantum Blackjack being advertised as the newest and hottest game. Bookies and casinos are…
These days, you can do much more at online bookmakers than just place bets. The best bookies are always looking at ways to offer more and more features and services to their customers.
One of these is the option to watch live sports from your PC, tablet or mobile. But which bookies offer live streaming, and which sports can you watch? You'll probably be pleasantly surprised. Read on to find out…
|18+ Ts & Cs Apply. Click button for more details.
|Live Streaming: Football, Tennis, Horse Racing, Greyhounds, Snooker. A funded bet365 account is required to access live streaming services. Country restrictions apply. [more info]

As you can see from the list above, many of the most popular bookies are offering a live streaming service. But the choice of sports varies, so you need to make sure you've joined a site that shows the sport you're interested in.
Also, be aware that not every event will be available at every bookmaker. Take football betting for example. Several bookies have live football, but that doesn't mean they all show every match. That means if you want to watch a specific match, you should make sure you open accounts at more than one bookmaker, to make sure that at least one is showing the match you want.
OK, now you know which bookies offer live streaming. But how do you actually watch it? Well, the bookmakers offer this service to members only, so the first thing you'll need to do is open an account and log in. You can join any of the bookies listed above for free, simply by clicking on the relevant green button.
Once you're logged in, there is usually a link on the site homepage which will say something like watch live or bet and watch. There might also be an icon next to the listing for the particular event you want to watch, such as a football match. This usually looks like a small TV. You may be able to click the icon to launch the live player for that event.
Some bookmakers require you to have placed a bet of £1 or more to watch an event. This is most common when watching UK or Irish horse racing.
Others, such as Bet365, only ask that you have a funded account (that is an account with some money in it) but you don't necessarily need to bet on the event to watch it. You can normally watch football, tennis and other sports without placing a bet.
However, bear in mind that live streaming is actually a very good way to bet in-play. If you're watching an event live it allows you to spot betting opportunities that other people can't. So if you are an in-play punter, this is a perfect opportunity to gain a profitable advantage.
If this sounds like a good option for you, then now is a great time to get started. You already know which bookies offer live streaming. So simply open accounts with a few of them, and you can start to benefit from this free service today.

Serious Sam 3 Post-Mortem
The resurrection of Serious Sam involves naked bird ladies, cash, and lots of bullets.
Honestly, I want Fork Parker to write a book. Or do a let's play of Serious Sam. Because my god he's one of the most amusing nutjobs I've ever seen.
His eccentricity is a welcome change to the usual pre-chewed PR-spiel I'm used to seeing in interviews, statements and articles.
interesting. a bit too early and not as in-depth as a typical post-mortem, but interesting nonetheless
EDIT: and does "BFE" stand for "butt-fuck Egypt"?
depends on who you ask
I just go for Serious Sam 3 and that's it =P
This was like reading a Cracked article. Awesome. Anyway it was cool hearing the insane story and ideas of SS. In my opinion, this game is what Duke should have been.
Insanity in PR is awesome.
So, will buy as soon as I get money.
A lot of us also thought it stood for "Big Fucking Encounter," since the firs one was "The First Encounter" and "The Second Encounter." It would also have been a play on the BFG from doom. I'm pretty sure that's what Croteam originally wanted it to mean.
Screw EA and Activision CEO's petty squabbles, this guy knows where it's at.
Would be a better play on it than the one in Duke Nukem Forever, at least.
I think this Parker guy is a douche and not in a funny way, all he seems to do is frat-boy humour.
I'd rather hear Kotick than this guy.
Damn shame, I'll have to spend my savings on presents rather than Serious Sam 3. :(
Its an interesting change, I'll give you that, but its no more informative. Without the other guy's statements, we would have gotten no info on the game.
Someone line Fork Parker up as a special guest call-in for next year's Desert Bus. Hearing a guy talk about "bussing bouncy bits" would be something I'd donate for.
True. But how often do we get anything of substance from PR statements? Not very. Marketing demands that you keep people relatively in the dark to build anticipation and drop morsels.
Or if your product has nothing really specifically special about it, hype the game up and keep the focus on subjective reasoning. When your potential customers start thinking more objectively and you have little/nothing to show for it, the gig is up.
So to summarize:
Wow... Parker is a gentleman and a scholar, I salute him!
I honestly forgot I was reading about a new Serious Sam game and thought it was about Postal 3 until I got about halfway through and re-read the title. Embarrassing.
So when is that console port coming out hmmm? Nah I'm not that mean.... GIVE IT TO US NAOO!!!!
Well if no one else will comment on it, I will.
It is good to see a developer is still out there that isn't caving in to and jumping on the bandwagon of modern FPS game design elements (e.g. regenerating HP, cover systems, limited carrying capacities, reduced game and movement speed and incredibly linear/scripted game play). These elements are what I and many others consider to be degrading factors to the game play in modern FPS games.
Two other games released this year, Duke Nukem Forever and Bulletstorm, both should have filled this void but instead were bogged down with modern FPS game design elements. The results speak for themselves, games that were (in my opinion) unplayable and unbearable to watch. Even in today's modern war shooters, what is considered skillful and strategic play usually boils down to camping down the end of a hallway and pressing fire when people appear in a doorway. It bothers me how we went from the glory days of SS/Quake/UT to today's games which in all honesty should be branded as a completely different genre. Maybe something like this: Mostly-First-Person-Shoot-The-Same-Boring-Thing-The-Same-Boring-Way-While-Bobbing-Over-A-Wall-Sucking-Your-Thumb-er ... or something.
This video sums it up pretty well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1ZtBCpo0eU
Back on topic however, SS3 is an excellent game that pays homage to the FPS games of older generations. It is fast, difficult and will require some effort, skill and determination from the player to get through (as these sort of games should). Croteam have done an excellent job with the franchise and the revival of the genre. It will last you a good 15 hrs on normal difficulty which is a bargain for a cheap FPS game these days. I would highly recommend it to everyone but I know that it is not the type of game that everyone wants to play these days. Which is unfortunate.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LG12 from Fabulous in Every Way I have the Emiline style in several colors and I will continue to add new ones to my collection. The shoe is extremely comfortable, looks great with casual or business clothes, and, while it conforms to the foot as it wears, never looks sloppy. The suede, leather, and stitching are all very high quality, and the sole has a bit of a rubbery surface which is not obvious when the shoe is viewed from the side, but adds much comfort. Please add more colors in the suede version! I will buy them all.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Shoes that are different colours I bought this pair of shoes. When they came, the shoes were different colours of blue. One was the clean crispy blue shown in the image and the other was a darker dirtier colour of blue. I don't understand how such an obvious mistake could go unseen. Not only is this product far from satisfactory but I now must pay for shipping and a processing fee to return them. I am immensely disappointed and will not be purchasing from this company anytime soon.

Rated 1 out of 5 by allthebooks from Too Narrow Even in Wide Width I usually wear a 7W but ended up returning these without even wearing them once. The Wide was not wide enough and made my feet look even wider. The material spreads out with your foot and the footprint of the wide at the ball of the foot is still way too narrow.

Two young brothers from San Pablo who died in a hit-and-run crash on state Highway 4 in Concord on Friday night have been identified by the Contra Costa County coroner's office as 5-year-old Vincent Reyes-Rothenberg and 10-year-old Lorenzo Reyes.
The boys were in a gray 2006 Dodge Durango that was traveling on the on-ramp from Solano Way to westbound Highway 4 around 10:55 p.m. Friday, according to the California Highway Patrol.
At the same time, a silver 2004 Infiniti sedan was traveling west on Highway 4 and took the Solano Way off-ramp, which is adjacent to the on-ramp, but drove off the off-ramp and slammed into the left rear side of the Dodge, CHP officials said.
The collision caused the boys to be ejected from the Dodge, which was pushed to the edge of the on-ramp, while the Infiniti crashed through a fence and stopped just feet from the door of a nearby Kinder's restaurant, according to the CHP.
The two boys were pronounced dead at the scene. A third child, 3-month-old Luciano, who was restrained in a car seat, suffered major injuries and was taken to UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland. He remained at the hospital in critical condition Monday, CHP Officer Brandon Correia said.
The boys' 35-year-old mother, Aida Reyes, also suffered major injuries and was taken to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, but was released to go home with family Sunday night, Correia said.
Family friend Judy Lent said Reyes put her children before anything else.
"It's devastating it's horrific. No mother wants to deal with this," Lent said.
Investigators said Reyes and her three young sons had just left the drive-in movies before the crash.
Witnesses said the Infiniti driver, identified based on evidence and witness testimony at the scene as Lemuel Sirvonn Wilson Jr., 35, fled the scene and ran across the highway.
Officers notified all regional hospitals of Wilson's identity in case he showed up for treatment of injuries from the crash, and he ended up coming to Highland Hospital in Oakland to seek care, Correia said.
Hospital officials notified the CHP, and officers came and interviewed Wilson, who was officially taken into custody at 12:35 a.m. Sunday on suspicion of two counts of vehicular manslaughter, hit-and-run causing great bodily injury and driving on a suspended or revoked license, according to Correia.
Wilson remains in custody at the hospital and will eventually be booked into jail with bail set at $500,000.
Later Monday, Aida Reyes was thankful for the outpouring of support she has received. She said Wilson doesn't deserve bail.
"How are you going to put bail on someone who saw the damage that he'd done and ran away?" she said.
NBC Bay Area learned Wilson has a lengthy criminal past that includes at least two prior DUIs and drug charges. He pleaded not guilty just last week to battery, marijuana and forgery charges.
"He has two DUIs. He killed my children, and they're asking for bail? Let's be realistic here," Aida Reyes said.
A GoFundMe page to help the boys' family pay for services and medical costs had raised nearly $12,000 of its $20,000 goal as of late Monday night.
NBC Bay Area's Terry McSweeney contributed to this report.

This post was inspired by Books, j'adore's review of Two Boys Kissing. She mentions how the cover was a bit misleading to the actual book and how that turned others away from reading it. That got me thinking about the fact that I, too, judge books by the cover. Then I started to wonder how much of my opinion is affected by a book's cover instead of its content.
I don't know ANYONE who isn't guilty of judging books by their covers. For a while, I felt really bad when I did this. I think it mostly has to do with the fact that I've heard the phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover" more times than I can count in my lifetime.
However, I think Maria from Books, j'adore is right about the fact that the phrase may be more for people than books. The point of the cover is to reflect the book. It's supposed to catch attention, but not just any attention- the attention that's going to urge readers to pick up the book and read it.
I think that in order for the cover to do that, it must properly reflect the book so that it can attract the type of people who would ENJOY the book for what it is. Not for what it looks like it might be.
I guess this could go both ways:
– the book cover doesn't reflect the book, but you like the book anyway, or
– the book cover doesn't reflect the book, and you end up disliking the book.
In the first scenario, you most likely don't mind. Sure, the cover could be better and actually give you an idea of the book, but you don't really care because you like the book anyway.
In the second scenario, it probably really bothers you. You were expecting a book like the one that popped into your mind when you first saw the cover. You might even feel a bit cheated by the fact that the cover is so misleading.
Although, I tend to assume a book is great if it has a fabulous cover- just because. My mind goes "pretty cover = awesome book." This gets me into tons of trouble because I often end up reading books I don't like simply because of the cover. Which is both a waste of time (and sometimes money) and can lead to a DNF review. (DNF reviews haunt me if you don't know, so it's a very bad thing for me.)
I try to at least base more of my opinion on the summary and other reviews, but the cover DOES play a role in my decision of whether or not to read a book.
You should definitely check out Maria's review of Two Boys Kissing. It not only inspired me to read the book, but also to write this post! 😀

Title: The Protection of Ren Crown (Ren Crown #2)
Author: Anne Zoelle
Publication Date: May 9th 2014
I received a copy from the author for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion in any way.
Goodreads Summary:
Barely surviving her first term at college, all Ren wants to do over break is relax and bond with her roommate—not get eaten by a sentient building or attacked on the street. But with increasingly open warfare brewing between the magical factions and Layers of the world, this time, Ren will not fail in making sure everyone she loves stays safe and protected.
That includes doing things like filling her parent's house with personal art heavily embedded with wards, bubble-wrapping her increasingly imperiled roommate, and even making sure that a certain sexy thorn-in-her-side continues to breathe free air.
Finding herself on duty protecting the entire university alongside campus god Alexander Dare…was not what she'd had in mind.
But this time it's not only her life on the line. And Ren will do anything to protect those she loves.
I was so happy to dive back into this world! Ren Crown is such a well-drawn, developed and intriguing character, who seems to attract trouble like a magnet, often of her own cause but not always.
Things are heating up in the war between the magical factions and Layers and everyone is looking for someone to blame, even the students at Excelsine. Some are beginning to suspect Ren and she has to do her best to blend in and divert their attentions elsewhere but with her magic being so volatile and unpredictable. that's easier said than done.
There isn't too much focus in this book on world-building since we got that in the first book, except for bits and pieces of details where necessary, usually in the guise of supplementing Ren's knowledge. Since she wasn't brought up as a mage. she is lacking a lot of basic knowledge especially about their history which marks her as a feral; a dangerous kind of mage to be with the current mood.
It is admirable to see ,and it speaks volumes for the author's writing ability, how much the characters have grown. They really learn from their mistakes and try to do better or improve.Ren is busy cementing friendships which is actually really smart of her. She, unlike so many protagonists I've come across, recognise that even though she has all these powers. she can never know everything at its always good to have some people wo are firmly on your side to watch your back.With fear of discovery being ever-present. using Origin Magic though necessary is risky and will put scrutiny on Ren from the worst possible mages. But Ren does whatever she needs to do to protect herself, her circle of friends, Excelsine and the world.
Honesty and openness endears her to her circle of friends even though there are a few that not above using her for their own means. She is perhaps too trusting but that one her most attractive flaws. which makes her so relatable.
Olivia was particularly interesting in this book. She has shown the most development of all the characters. She is now out of her shell, loyal to a fault to Ren and is reluctantly allowing Ren to include her in whatever protective measure she can come with. She has really thawed and I no longer see her as the Ice Queen.
The plot is character driven this time around but there are outside conflicts too which keeps it interesting and moving along at a fast pace. There are a few twists and unexpected turns of events which have added another dimension to one of Ren's friends and it was interesting to see how this turned out, and what it means for their friendship in the future.
With loads of tension, intrigue. magic and danger-filled moments complemented by underlying themes of friendship amidst betrayal, The Protection of Ren Crown is a stunningly immersive sequel which left me practically salivating in anticipation of the next books. I highly recommend picking up this series if you haven't already. It is simply amazing.
Also Available in the Ren Crown Series:
A world that exists right on top of ours–in every nook and cranny…a world that modifies the memories of anyone not yet awakened to magic…a world at war…
Devastated by the loss of her twin–and consumed by the realization that magic actually exists–art student Ren Crown illegally enrolls in a fantastical university determined to bring her brother back to life. But caught in a time of war, and as a mage with abilities that both sides want to harness and use, Ren finds herself an unwitting pawn in a larger game.
Needing to hide from those who wish to enslave her, Ren gambles everything on her determination to succeed, putting herself in plain sight of those who could capture her. Constantly needing to figure out who to trust–a cold, powerful roommate, a genius magical engineer, the most powerful combat mage of their age, a mysterious muse, a cunning and brilliant tactician, a charming terrorist, an influential politician, or the voice of her brother…the hardest thing may be trusting her own heart.
Reeling from what the students at Excelsine University are calling "Bloody Tuesday," Ren is determined to regather her magical family. But the events of the attack were not without multiple costs. Magically broken and exposed, Ren is ripe pickings for multiple factions that want to use and chain her, and the Department is the scariest of the pack.
With only a limited amount of time to save her friend, and confined with the rest of the student body awaiting their fate, Ren stands a mere hairsbreadth from losing her freedom completely with each and every decision she makes.

I woke up this morning to torrential rain and wind. I would have much preferred to stay in bed under the covers than go to the gym, but go to the gym is exactly what I did. Pre-workout I decided to have a banana but I only ate half because it was way too ripe. With about five too ripe bananas left in the fruit bowl I see banana bread in my near future.
I completed my long slow distance of 8 miles on the treadmill. For the first 6 1/2 miles I stayed at a 6.0 mph (10 minute mile) and then for the last 1 1/2 miles I alternated between 6.0-8.0 mph.
I completed the 8 miles in 79:09, not too bad. The reason for the 2 pics is because at 60 minutes the treadmill automatically started a cooldown. Every time I increased my speed to 6.0 the treadmill would decrease back down to 4.5, so I had to stop the treadmill and start over to complete my run. I felt really good during this run except when I hit mile 6 I started getting really hungry, I suppose 1/2 banana was not enough to fuel my 8 mile workout. Lesson learned, I am going to be trying different products I eat during my runs for additional fuel like GU, jelly beans, raisins, and dates. I tried power bar gummies during my first 1/2 marathon but they just made me nauseous, now I'll be trying different things prior to this 1/2 marathon to see what works and what doesn't.
When I got home I showered and then had a post-workout breakfast of sweet potato pancakes with walnuts and maple syrup, recipe courtesy of Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point: Sweet potato pancake.
I tweaked her recipe slightly using walnuts instead of pecans and pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon, I also made 2 pancakes instead of 1.
This is one of the best post-workout breakfasts I have ever had, delicious and satisfying. I also had a cup of coffee with fat free half and half with it, a perfect combo!

Braciole (pronouced: bra-joel) is my dad's favorite meal! Every year, I make it for his birthday.
It seems to me that Braciole is one of those dishes that you just make — no recipe, no instructions. If there is a recipe, it's usually been passed down from family members. When you look online for Braciole recipes, you will see there are lots of different ways to make it — it's mostly a matter of preference.
It's one of those meals that I make in large batches. I find it's just as easy to make a big batch as it is to make a small batch. That way, I have some to freeze for later meal.
The recipe I'm going to share with you, is one the recipe that I've been using that my family loves.
The Recipe
8 thinly sliced top round steaks
10 slices bread
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ small onion, diced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
6 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Spaghetti sauce
Pound steaks to ¼ thickness, if not sliced thin. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste. In a large bowl, mix bread, garlic, onion, parsley, cheese, seasoning, salt and pepper. Add water, being careful that the mixture is not too wet. Place a thin layer of bread mixture on the entire steak, leaving ½ inch border on each side.
Roll steak and filling like an egg roll – Fold one end over about 1 inch. Fold in sides, about ½ inch, and continue to roll, being careful fold in the sides as you go. Tie the rolls up (like a package) using kitchen string.
Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Quickly brown steak on all sides. When steak is browned, transfer to large pot and cover steak rolls with your favorite spaghetti sauce. Simmer over medium-low heat for at least 2 hours.
Note: For a variation on this recipe, you can use a slice of proscuitto, ½ slice of provolone cheese and a teaspoonful of ricotta cheese in lieu of the bread filling.
Is it a Keeper?
If the clean plates at the dinner table are any indication, I'd say it's a keeper! It's one of those meals where you can just taste the love that went into making it. I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as my family does!
On a side note, I was featured in the Scranton Times-Tribune for this recipe in April 2010. The Times-Tribune is also putting out a cookbook in November 2010 featuring all of the recipes published the "Local Flavor" column!

Sierra de Bernia
The Umbría de Bernia, in the municipality of Benissa, is a plot of land situated in a place which unites floral elements of great importance.
This natural space is situated in the Sierra de Bernia and Ferrer, a group of coastal and pre-coastal mountain ranges, characterised by their wild landscape. Situated among the municipalities of Benissa, Jalón, Altea, Calpe, Alcalalí, Tàrbena and Callosa d'En Sarriá, they form an individualised system of high landscape and environmental value. The Paisaje Protegido de la Sierra de Bernia, as it is called by the Public Administration, consists of 2,843 hectares in the municipalities of Xaló y Benissa; it is in the latter where the plots of land purchased by Fundem can be found.
The barrier formed by the Sierra de Bernia, perpendicular at the coast and submerged in the sea at its eastern extremities by the reefs of the Morro de Toix, stands tall above the two Marinas (Alta and Baja) as a natural division. A crest runs along almost the whole length of the range, at an average height of 900 metres, but it is at its highest at Bèrnia, 1,129 metres above sea level.
The great height which these mountains reach, their ecological and morphological diversity and their proximity to the sea are the main factors which contribute to the existence of numerous habitats and species of flora and fauna, among which are numerous indigenous species. Proof of the exceptional values which these mountains possess is the fact that the area has been included in the Places of Community Interest (LIC) in the Comunitat Valenciana.
The presence of humans in the Sierra de Bernia and Ferrer dates back to distant times. The mountainous interior of the Marinas was one of the largest enclaves of the Valencian Arab population. Worthy of mention as an example of the rich heritage of the natural space , and a product of the settlement of the different civilisations, is the Fort de Bèrnia, a work of the Italian engineer Giovanni Battista Antonelli. It is a castle-fortress and lookout situated on the southern slopes of the Sierra de Bernia on terraces at a height of 850 metres. Also worth mentioning is the Torre de Bernia, on the summit of the mountain, which dates from the thirteenth century. More recent, but of high ethnological value, are the country houses, corrals and stone terraces related to the agricultural exploitation of the less steep areas and particularly representative of the peculiar mountainous landscape which characterises the area.
In summary, it is a space in which unique environmental and geomorphological characteristics converge, with a long history of human occupation, which has given place more recently to new and diverse ambients of exceptional importance in the context of the Valencia region.
It is said that the old name of the mountain range was Verdiola because of the greenness of the dense pine woods and the vegetation which covered it.

text: On Episode 18, Amy Van Hoose discusses the NWEA MAP test with 3rd grade SJES teacher, Heather Seger, and 3rd grade SCE teacher Ashley Schrage. The NWEA MAP test (Northwest Evaluation Association Measures of Academic Progress) is given to students in 2nd through 8th grade to see what students know, help teachers inform instruction, individualize instruction, and monitor growth. It is unlike standardized tests because it is adaptive, questions get easier and harder in order to pinpoint a child's proficiency and growth in several categories and subcategories. While this test is very valuable for teachers, it can also be a helpful tool for parents too.

Oce enjoys display graphics success at award-winning Stylographics
Wednesday, August 13, 2003
Press release from the issuing companyAugust 13, 2003 -- Oce has further enhanced its reputation in the display graphics market with the installation of a Seiko IP-4500 Mk II pigment based inkjet printer together with Océ's edition of Onyx PosterShop RIP software at Stylographics Limited, the Watford-based company whose innovative approach was recognised in the Queen's Awards for Enterprise 2003. Océ began selling the 54-inch Seiko machine earlier this year, and has already experienced great success. The IP-4500 Mk II is the fastest printer in its class in the world, capable of producing an A0 print at 720 dpi in less than three minutes. At Stylographics, the Seiko augments a production capability that already includes an Océ LightJet wide format photo laser printer as well as a complete range of equipment allowing the company to print with very high quality onto a vast range of materials. This addition to Stylographics' in house print technology inventory will make a major contribution towards a business that has already been fêted for continuous innovation in producing display and point-of-sale graphics, culminating in the Queen's Award this year. Simon Olley, Managing Director of Stylographics, says the new Océ deal keeps the company at the cutting edge of printing. "We are in a business where continuous innovation is paramount for success, and allows us to supply our retail, exhibition and museum customers with the absolute latest in both technology and ideas for their graphics display." "The Seiko system extends our services for high volume, quality poster work for both indoor and outdoor markets using a wide selection of media, and offers greater cost effectiveness because the output doesn't need lamination. In order to retain our own competitive edge, it's vital that Stylographics is identifiably different to other graphics suppliers, and use of the latest technology allows us to do this. "The Seiko adds yet another service to our in house capability, so we can offer new ideas in print to our customers. Clients increasingly want to place a range of work with just one company, and we must continue to invest in new technologies so we can offer a complete print solution – all produced in house." Olley believes the Seiko system will give the company a competitive advantage in the production of short and longer runs of quality posters that, due to the oil-based Océ inks used by the Seiko, do not require any special finishing. "There is a crossover between digital printing, screen and litho processes for producing this kind of work, and we aim to fit in between," Olley continues. "We don't have the make-ready issues of litho or screen, and neither do we have the need for laminating the work. We can therefore give clients a finished product in half the time they can, giving us process savings that are passed on to clients." Derek Joys, Product Marketing Manager for Océ Wide Format Printing Systems in the UK, is full of praise for Stylographics' achievement in winning the Queen's Award. He says: "Océ is delighted to have made a contribution to the success of Stylographics in the Queen's Awards. The company has an innovative outlook from top to bottom that we embrace, and the award is a magnificent acknowledgement of this. "We are proud of our partnership with Stylographics, so it's an additional pleasure for Océ to see the partnership become stronger. We have every confidence that the new Seiko installation will bring even more success to the company."

Maybe Education Cuts Wouldn't Be so Bad
With the release of today's "skinny budget" we are likely to hear the usual coverage: "Good-Sounding Program X is being cut by Y million dollars. 'These cuts will be devastating,' said someone who gets money through X.'"
Cuts to education programs, which instinctively sound awful because education is generally a good thing, are especially susceptible to this.
But focusing on the immediate recipients of the money, and maybe the good intentions behind the programs, is a terrible way to approach government spending. It ignores that resources are finite, and every government use competes with other uses that may be equally good or better, including what taxpayers may have spent the money on had they been able to keep it.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to show someone not spending money on a new car, or investing in a new business, because the dough has gone to an after-school program, or a college Work Study job. So news reports basically ignore opportunity costs.
That problem now off my chest, let's look at a few of the education items in the Trump administration's thin proposal:
$250 million for a new private school voucher program, $168 million more for charter schools
School choice works, but the danger of federalized choice is huge. It threatens to homogenize private schools through regulation, and a federal effort could eventually grow large enough to crowd out state programs, killing the competition and innovation that comes through state — "laboratories of democracy" — policymaking. Like almost all federal education meddling, it also would be unconstitutional: the Constitution gives Washington no power to govern or fund education, including school choice.
Eliminate the 21st Century Community Learning Centers
This $1.2 billion program, which supplies funds for before- and after-school programs as well as summer programming, cries out for elimination. Not only is it unconstitutional and in no way something states could not do on their own, but federal evaluations have found that it may have negative effects. As I have discussed before, a 2005 evaluation stated:
This study finds that elementary students who were randomly assigned to attend the 21st Century Community Learning Centers after-school program were more likely to feel safe after school, no more likely to have higher academic achievement, no less likely to be in self-care, more likely to engage in some negative behaviors, and experience mixed effects on developmental outcomes relative to students who were not randomly assigned to attend the centers.
Eliminate the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant and reduce Work Study
Of course these programs — one provides grants to students, the other funding for student jobs — are unconstitutional, but they are also counterproductive. Like all federal student aid programs, they enable schools to boost prices or redirect other aid, and they incentivize students to think less intensely about whether they should go to college, what they study, and how quickly they finish.
They are not the main culprits — both are quite small relative to other student aid programs — but they are subsidies nonetheless, and starting with small programs is a good way to ease into the bigger cuts we need. It is also difficult to justify giving taxpayer money to students, even in exchange for some sort of work, when the average payoff of graduating from college is around $1 million. At the very least, shouldn't beneficiaries of aid have to repay taxpayers? The feds offer loans, after all. (Of course, they should be eliminated, too.)
These programs are supposed to help low-income students prepare for, and access, college. Again, there is no constitutional authority for their existence, and states or civil society could handle the job. But the evidence on the programs' effectiveness is also pretty poor. As I testified to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, recent official assessments have often used weak research methods, and better ones have found uninspiring effects.
The people who benefit directly from federal programs will no doubt be unhappy with threatened cuts affecting them, and they will likely be featured in news coverage. But for the country, many of these proposed cuts may well be good news.

Business Program
If you own or operate a business that does not house or serve food such as a doctors office or an administration building, a quarterly pest prevention program would be the most appropriate course of action. Much like our home protection plan, quarterly visits combat pests before they enter your establishment.
Property Management
Multi-residential pest control can be one of the biggest challenges property managers face. Building an effective, economical program requires attention to detail and honest conversations. Don't let an infestation run rampant throughout the entire premises.
Hospitality Program
Designed for hotels, we use bed bug sniffing dogs and a data collection system to build a site specific program that will make sense to you while meeting corporate requirements
Health-care Program
Everybody is familiar with the sterile environment required to perform surgery. Imagine the fallout should a fly gain access to an operating room. Bee sting allergies should be a major concern in facilities that allow and encourage resident patients to enjoy time outdoors. Limited mobility and an unchecked bee population are a recipe for an anaphylactic shock incident.
Educational Institutions
Child Protection Act. IT IS THE LAW
Section 10C.
Any person who operates a school age child care program or a day care center as defined in section 2 of chapter 132B, shall comply with the requirements regarding pesticide applications as set forth in sections 6C to 6I, inclusive, of said chapter 132B.
Child Protection Act Full Text Link
We prepare and register your program for you.
Attention Builders!!
Demolition Rodent Program
Several communities throughout New England require rodents to be controlled prior to demolition of an existing structure. Permits must be obtained and documentation provided indicating any pre-existing infestation has been addressed. Northeast Pro-Con Solutions, LLC will assist you with permit filing and provide a written report following extermination. Contact us if you need any additional information on community specific requirements. We are happy to help!

Eight chapter of seventh book of artha SAstra deals with two aspects of foreign policy.
yAtavya vRttiH – When multiple opponents are joining together to attack the king then one should understand the reasons for such an alliance between the opponents. Then the strategy is to either split that alliance by creating differences between the parties or defect one key member in opposition alliance by:
- offering double the benefit or
- by highlighting the adverse consequences of war like vyaya – expenditure, pryAsa – exertion, pratyavAya – adversity, parOpakAra – helping others to prosper that can turn dangerous, and SarIra bAdhA – physical pain of war.
anugrAhya mitra visEshAH – There are some special types of allies or friends circle. When dealing with them in terms of making agreements and sharing profits. They can be favored more due to special nature:
They are:
- SakyArambhi – One who takes up the responsibility to do something only when he is capable of achieving result
- kalyArambhi – One who takes up defect-less endeavors.
- bhavyArambhi – who carries out actions keeping the long term future in mind.
- sthirakarma – one who firmly determined to achieve.
- anurakta-prakRti – one whose subordinates are pleasantly obedient and loving.
There are various other situations and considerations of breaching previous agreements in favor of new ones. But simple conclusion is:
समे हि लाभे संधिः स्याद्विषमे विक्रमो मतः ।
सम हीन विशिष्टानामित्युक्ताः संधिविक्रमाः ॥
If the profit between equals is equal then sandhi – agreement. If not then conflict; considering the special cases!
Thus on this auspicious makara Sankaranti day, we reach the end of chapter 8 of book 7 that covers 114 and 115 topics in the 106th division when counted from the first without special book divisions of artha SAstra.

At first I thought the speed pocket pants were too big, but after trying the next size smaller i realized that was just they way the FIT. I like the fit now, just different for me. the pocket openings are a tad too small for my hands. could use another inch wider. generally, nice pants, well made . . . good thing..., cuz the price was much more than i like to spend on clothing.I would buy another pair. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
These pants are slightly more fitted than I thought but i absolutely love them. They look so good and are extremely comfortable. The material is soft but not thin so I will be able to wear to the gym without worrying about pilling !
I cannot recommend these pants more. I'm 5'2, 170lbs and the large fits perfectly, with plenty of extra room. They dry super quick. And, they are obscenely comfortable.
très contente de cet article, juste revoir la poche pour le téléphone (occasionne une gêne dans les mouvements)
FINALLY-- a pair of workout pants that actually fit and look fabulous. The Speedpocket pant is UA best product yet!! The material is comfortable. The zipper pockets and large phone pocket
is what makes this product valuable. The Speedpocket Pants can easily go from the gym to lunch with friends or any other fun outing. While they are a bit expensive (the only downside), they are worth it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
I'm 5'7" and 135lbs so I ordered a small. They fit me like loose leggings so they are comfortable and flattering. They have a nice high waistband so I never have to pull them up like I do with other athletic pants. They pockets are SUPER deep. I fit a whole apple, granola bar, phone and wallet in one. The only problem...just black!! I would buy these in every color if they had more!!
I couldn't say enough good things about these pants, but am a little bummed that the fabric pulls very easily, sometimes just from sitting down on a surface that isn't perfectly soft or washing, which is a little disappointing since they are so expensive. Other than that, they fit perfectly, are comfy, and keep the perfect temperature on long runs! Overall, would recommend.

- Advanced ionic technology provides up to 50% more ions
- Titanium ceramic coated barrel
- 2 heat settings plus cool setting
- Enhanced air control
- Swivel cord
- The airflow is minimized for styling
Why should you use hot air brush with ionic technology:
You know when you use towel to dry your hair or brush your dry hair and all of a sudden it seems to be frizzy and sometimes full of static. This is because the friction from the towel or brush pulls away the negative ions and leaves your hair with a positive charge. When there are only positive ions in the hair, the strands repel each other, resulting in problems such as flyaway, frizz, and static.
Ionic hair dryers are powered by electricity and work to emit negative ions which in turn neutralize the hairs atoms and eliminate the static and frizz making the hair smoother. Ionic technology also works to dry your hair faster as it causes the water molecules to fall of the hair shaft more quickly.
As your hair will dry faster, you will not be as vulnerable to the type of hair damage that normally results from overexposure to heat. And then there is an advantage using brushes with ion technology that they lock more moisture into your hair, making your hair healthier, softer, shiner, and more manageable.

The low setting can be used for thin, fine, and damaged hair, while the high setting is ideal for thicker hair. There's also a cool setting, which can be used to set the style and create longer-lasting effect.
- Proper heat distribution: It provides Titanium ceramic coated barrel that ensures even distribution of heat. It maintains smoothness without damaging your hair.
John Frieda ionic hair brush is getting popularity day by day. Customers expressed their positive opinions in online after using this brush. Customers can purchase it at a reasonable price and achieve salon quality results in home, so its value worth the money.

From Abby Phillip for the Washington Post:
In an interview with Fox News's Bill O'Reilly, which will air ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday, Trump doubled down on his "respect" for Putin – even in the face of accusations that Putin and his associates have murdered journalists and dissidents in Russia.
"I do respect him. Well, I respect a lot of people, but that doesn't mean I'll get along with them," Trump told O'Reilly.
O'Reilly pressed on, declaring to the president that "Putin is a killer."
Unfazed, Trump didn't back away, but rather compared Putin's reputation for extrajudicial killings with the United States'.
"There are a lot of killers. We have a lot of killers," Trump said. "Well, you think our country is so innocent?"
There are many of us who voted for him hoped that he had learned from the error in applying America in a moral equivalence with Putin's KGB inspired killings. Perhaps he just felt he arrogantly could just get by with it again after not paying a political price for saying the same thing in a 2015 interview with Joe Scarborough on MSNBC.
Trump's main media enablers such as Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram, and Ann Coulter could have helped curb such rhetoric at the time, but chose not to. Now, there is no turning back from a philosophical point in which Trump truly believes. Someone who says he wants to "make American great again" or believes in "America first" cannot utter such a thought cannot assume to have the moral compass to lead.
Alexis de Tocqueville supposedly penned a famous line about American which went, American is great because America is good." The line has sadly been dispatched by historical scrutiny as not ever being written but Americans from all political sides still gain inspiration from it. John Kerry used the line in a speech in which he conceded the 2004 election to then president George W. Bush and refusing to contest the election. Donald Trump can claim such devotion to a quote as this.
Trump now asks much of people who voted for him. Even more from the staff whom has to defend him in the morning on talk shows. Their boss is on an island that only fringes of our nation's society stroll. What Trump said tonight to Bill O'Reilly is unforgivable to many, including this writer.

Brief biography
Stella Chinyelu Okoli is the founder cum managing director/chief executive officer, Emzor Pharmaceutical Industries Limited. She holds B.Pharm (Hons.) from Bradford University (1969) and M.Sc. Biopharmaceutics from the University of London – Chelsea College (1971), and has over 27 years of experience as a practicing and manufacturing pharmacist.
Positions held
Stella was chairman, Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Group of Manufacturers Association of Nigeria; member, Economic Summit of Nigeria; and member, Health Matters Advisory Board of Nigeria. She has been a non-executive director of Guaranty Trust Bank plc since April 22, 2010.
Stella worked in various capacities at Middlesex Hospital, London; Boots Chemists, London; and Part Davis Nigeria, now Pharma-Deko, before opening a retail outlet in 1977.
Early beginnings
Emzor started as a retailing chemist shop in January 1977 and today, the company is a force to reckon with in the pharmaceutical sector and other medical products. Emzor was integrated fully into the Nigerian market in 1984 and commenced pilot manufacturing in 1986 with the aim of producing standardised pharmaceutical and medical products. It was also to meet the need to produce drugs locally so as to help create job opportunities as well as manufacture drugs with high standards that are available and affordable to all. In June 12, 2009, Okoli's efforts at ensuring top quality products paid off as Emzor received the NIS ISO 9001:2000 certification.
Programmes attended
She attended the Executive Management programmes of the Harvard Business School, Boston, United States for owner-managers from 1997 to 1999, the Chief Executive Management programme of the Lagos Business School, as well as IESE Barcelona. She has also attended numerous strategic management courses both in Nigeria and overseas.
Emzor Paracetamol has taken over 25 percent of the palliative market in Nigeria. The company has spread its tentacles by producing over 60 varieties. They include vitamins, anti-malarials, analgesics, haematinics, anti-tussives, antibiotics, anti-helmintics, anti-histamine, antacid, and cardio-protective drugs.
Emzor Pharmaceuticals has offices in Nigeria, India, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, and Mali.
Branching out
Emzor now has established subsidiaries. One is Zolon Healthcare Limited, Lagos, which provides health care solutions to all. This came to be as a result of building partnerships with revered organisations. Areas of concentration in this subsidiary include Oncology, Ophthalmology, Gastroenterology, Paediatric and Geriatric Medicine, Biotechnology, Health Fairs/Seminars, Neuropsychiatry, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
There is also Emzor Hesco Limited, which was launched to provide standard hospital equipment, consumables and appliances that ease the process of diagnosis and disease detection and management.
Chike Okoli Foundation (COF), a non-governmental organisation, was founded by Stella after the death of her son, Chike, who died of coronary artery disease five days after his 25th birthday.
COF has trained about 1,600 young people in science in the spirit of entrepreneurial studies.
Chike Okoli Centre for Entrepreneurial Studies (COCES) is a multi-purpose ultra-modern edifice located in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. According to Stella, "The Foundation has reached out to over five million people across Nigeria informing them of the growing dangers of cardiovascular diseases and how to make lifestyle interventions."
In 2012, The COF in partnership with the Lagos State Ministry of Education organised the first edition of Grassroots Cardiovascular Health Campaign in ten selected senior secondary schools in the state.
Stella mentors other local manufacturers and encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to invest in the pharmaceutical industry, first, as her contribution to building a healthy nation, and second, in pursuit of Nigeria's quest for self-sufficiency.
Stella's catchphrase
"Healthcare should be affordable and readily available."
Stella has received various national and international recognitions, which include Member of the Order of the Niger (MON); Fellow, Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria; Outstanding Service Award; Rotary International 21000 and ECOWAS International Gold Award; and the International Women Entrepreneurial Challenge (IWEC) Award.
In January 2012, Stella Okoli was awarded Honours for her service to enterprise and industry at the 17th ThisDay Annual Awards.

Say Thank You, Why Don't You?Category: discipline, ramblings
Author: Buckeroomama
- RoseBelle said...
I see this scenario quite frequently and I would say most bus drivers would stop and wait if the bus is not full. The passenger always throw a big 'thank you' to the bus driver. In other scenarios, like if you pick up something that someone drops and hands it to that person, believe it or not, direct contact as such does not warrant a thank you from the person whom you just helped.
- 01 July, 2010
- Kasie said...
I'm big on thank yous. It's just simple manners. I try to teach my girls to be grateful for everything.

- Vivianne's Vista said...
A 'thank you' goes a long way. It certainly makes my day when someone is polite.
- 01 July, 2010
- Muthering Heights said...
Not at all..I always thank the bus river, no matter what!
- 01 July, 2010
- Michelle @ Flying Giggles said...
The passenger should definitely give a full smiled thank you!
- 01 July, 2010
- Alicia said...
Definitely not too much to ask for. But, I know how some bus drivers are too. They see the person but don't want to stop.
- 01 July, 2010
- Hannah said...
I am big on thank you's, so I don't think it is too much to ask at all! I don't know why we have become such a rude society, I am always shocked when people don't even bother saying it, like it is too much of an in convince for them. Hopefully my boys will not become those types of people!

- Tezzie said...
Having been raised in Canada, I'm big on 'public politeness'...please, thank you, and SORRY!!...
something that is sadly often lacking here in Finland. However, to be fair, there is a (slight) culture difference here as to what is actually polite. For example, it drives me nuts that people don't offer to help each other...like holding doors open, or helping lift a baby carriage onto a bus or train etc...But, here, people are happy to help only IF YOU ASK FIRST since they figure they are respecting your ability to be able to do it yourself and don't want to insult you by insinuating that you can't!
- 01 July, 2010
- Serline said...
Sometimes common courtesy is not so common... I have actually witnessed some people in scenario 2 glare at the driver after they got on the bus, as if to protest, "how dare you make me run in this weather wearing my Gucci dress and Manolo Blahnik heels!"
- 01 July, 2010
- Organic Motherhood with Cool Whip said...
I'm a big believer in thank yous. It just makes everyone feel better all around. Great post!

I can't imagine not saying thank you because some of them would ignore you.

common courtesy is to say "thank you". i'm very big on that and try to teach that to my kids as well. thanks for dropping by my blog and for following. in the few minutes that i've been here i've enjoyed my time very much. now following. happy to meet you!
- 02 July, 2010

Mom always taught us to say 'thank you' and I've passed it on to my kids! Thanks for bringing up an important reminder!

ugh.. i hate when people are not polite...my poor kids are sick of me drilling it in their heads

I hate impolite people!! Even something so simple as a quick wave when you let someone cut in front of you so they can make their light is the right thing to do.
- 02 July, 2010
- Ash said...
i say "thank yous" a lot...i even say "thank you" while getting off which tends to make other passengers and also the driver to stare at me for a few good secs so i stopped saying "thank you" while getting off these days. >.<
