What makes online gambling "illegal"?
To be clear, the legality of online bitcoin gambling isn't very clear. For starters, there is no "global" authority which has jurisdiction and the laws of different countries see online gambling in very different ways. Some countries outlaw gambling outright, while others regulate online gambling through licensing of casinos.
Other than playing at a regulated site, a good starting point for the individual gambler is this: the laws of your country regarding online gambling should apply to you, followed by the laws of the country you are playing from.
Less pertinent to the individual gambler – but of importance – is the laws governing the casino you are gambling at. For example, it may be legal for you to play at Casino A, but always check to see that Casino A is legally allowed to take your bets, or dispute over payouts could put you on the losing end.
How does the legality of online gambling affect Bitcoin casinos? Aren't they the same thing?
Some people call Bitcoin a disruptive technology simply because it disrupts the norms and understood rules regarding finance. The introduction of Bitcoin casinos have certainly disrupted the already murky area of online gambling legality.
For example, online gambling is technically illegal in most of the US (with the exceptions of casinos regulated by the states of New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware). But the law that makes it illegal pertains to the US Wire Wager Act, which makes it illegal to use electronic wires (including Internet) to transmit currency as bets. This means US players technically can't play at an online casino based outside the US either.
However, many countries have yet to determine how it views Bitcoin: is it simply an asset or is it also currency? If a US person mines Bitcoin on his computer, then bets it at a Bitcoin casino, it's uncertain if he's actually breaking the law.
So… Bitcoin casinos are not illegal?
Yes, and no! By nature of Bitcoin and its current exclusion from conventional law, Bitcoin gambling is not illegal. However, regulated online gambling is a lot more than the legality of currency and ensuing tax issues. Regulated and licensed casinos also means that there are authorities who do constant checks to ensure that casinos are fair and that they pay out to players and staff, for example.
2014 was a great time for Bitcoin gamblers. Young, usually namess and faceless entrepreneurs launched hundreds of gambling sites or casinos accepting only Bitcoin. The problem is that very few Bitcoin casinos are regulated. In fact, virtually all casinos or gambling sites accepting only Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are not regulated.
This means that if the casino owners suddenly decide to up and go or cheat on their fairness of games, there was next to nothing the players could do about it. And this has happened.
So should I stay away from Bitcoin casinos?
Ultimately, that's a decision for you to make. Serious gamblers would probably only want to play at regulated and licensed Bitcoin casinos for the security of funds and payouts. In the unlikely event of a legal battle, it's highly improbably for you to be able to take a bitcoin casino to court.
On the other hand, there are a lot of benefits at playing at Bitcoin casinos these days that you won't find at traditional ones. These include: transparency on house edges, independently verifiable provably fair mechanisms, micro-betting (you can bet 1 satoshi at many places, which is currently 1/1000th the value of USD0.01) and participating in the house bankroll.
Remember, Bitcoin is a disruptive technology and is all about (pseudo) anonymity, transparency and decentralization. You'll find the communities, owners and staff at Bitcoin casinos to be very knowledgeable and keen to build upon a trust system fostered within itself.

About us? Well, we're probably a lot like you.
We're musicians. We studied music at school. We played gigs at bars and weddings. And at some point, we became interested in traveling and performing, which brought us into the world of cruise ships. And that's probably why you're here, too. We met working on board a ship, and before long, we were having long discussions into the night — how awesome the cruise gig was, and why more musicians didn't know about it. We also found ourselves expressing our frustration with the agencies that were sending musicians out like cattle: uninformed, unprepared, and with minimal attention and effort. We wanted to create an agency that wasn't an agency, but more like an older brother — helping musicians find work with their best interest at heart. Looking out for them. Helping make them successful and happy. And here we are. .
Even though we already had a head start, having performed on ships for several years, we're constantly working to understand our musicians' needs and find each of our musicians the right gig. We still go on board ourselves to actually work — to see ship life from our musicians' perspective, and gain the most up-to-date knowledge of the gig.
We visit our musicians in rehearsals. We go out of our way to meet our musicians, take them out for meals, get to know them personally, and even throw parties for them, building a real community and growing the Lime family. And we prepare each musician for the gig in a way that no other agency does — with tons of information, prep materials, and insight that only comes from first-hand experience.
This approach has led us to become the fastest-growing agency in the cruise industry. We've grown by over 50% in each year of operation. We've been given exclusive spots by different cruise lines, which means that we're the only ones with access to many of the top-paying gigs. Musicians come to us every day, unhappy with their current agents. And it makes us genuinely happy to find them a new, better gig.
Because at the end of the day, we're musicians, just like you.

text: So what will future bids look like? Perhaps the contest for the 2026 Winter Olympics offers us a glimpse. It features two multi-location bids: Stockholm-Åre, which plans to borrow Latvia's bobsleigh track, and Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo, which plans to use venues peppered across the Italian Alps. It is all part of the IOC's 'new norm' policy which allows hosts to spread the load across several locations. "If there is a city that doesn't have one specific venue, they can now hold one sport in a different city or even a different country," says the IOC's heady of legacy, Tania Braga. "This new flexibility can give opportunities for a different size of city to host the Games."

Mia had always known that her mother had always favoured Shivani right from childhood. Shivani was the apple of her mother's eyes, she knew that.
Everything Shivani wanted, she got. Shivani wanted to study abroad and their mother quickly complied. But when it got to her turn, their mother had quickly objected.
Her mother had always known just how much she loved Dike, even though she never mustered courage to let him know. Her mother knew that she would have eagerly jumped at the opportunity of being Dike's wife even after she knew and heard of how badly he treated his wives.
Her mother knew all this but still insisted that Shivani become his wife after the Igwe and Lolo had paid them a visit and requested that one of her daughters got married to Dike.
At first she had been happy thinking her mother would choose her. But when her mother chose Shivani, she had been heartbroken. And not totally surprised.
Getting married to Dike, the most handsome man of Umuzulu was her dream. And she was going to get him no matter what.
'kobo for your thoughts sis' Shivani's voice shook her from her reverie as she fell on the empty space beside her 'what were you thinking?'
'uhm? No...nothing. Just thinking about random things' She lied with a smile.
'random things like?' her sister propped her chin with her left hand 'boy wahala?'
'what are you talking about? Go jhor!' She backed her sister with a playful smile on her face.
'tell me about the guy who's captured my sister's heart, tell me, tell me' her elder sister giggled.
'there's no guy Shivani, stop teasing me'
'you obviously have a boyfriend now right? You're all grown up! See your busts, they are even bigger than mine now' Shivani teased.
Mia's cheeks flushed in embarrassment 'quit now Shivani, please!'
'okay okay' Shivani said raising her hands in mock surrender laughing 'i quit. But that doesnt mean you wont tell me about the guy sooner or later. Meanwhile, i got some stuffs for you. Come on, lets go to my room'
At the thought of that, Mia's face brightened with a smile. Everytime Shivani visited home which was once in a long while, she made sure she got things for her. Shivani was very nice to her, little wonder it was hard hating her despite the fact that she took everything she ever wanted away from her.
'i love this gown!' Mia gasped covering her mouth with her left hand as she beheld the cream-coloured sleeveless knee-length gucci dress. It was wonderful! She had never seen anything as beautiful as it.
'do you like it?'
'like it? Are you fucking kidding me now Shiv? I practically love this dress! Thanks Shiv' She hugged her elder sister tightly 'i really love it, i swear!'
'and this shoes? I especially got them for you. I dont know if it'd be your size though'
Mia gazed at the gold-coloured shoes. It was beautiful too, Jimmy Choo collection. She slipped her feet into it and it fitted perfectly 'perfect sis!'
Her sister laughed as she brought out three brands of perfumes, wristwatches, jewelries, bags, makeups, lingerie and so many other accessories for her sister. Mia couldnt help but marvel at it all, her sister had excellent choices.
'i think we would have to go on a picnic tomorrow. We would go with Ify and Chichi, i really missed those two' Shivani giggled.
'and i hope you got stuffs for them as well? Because they'll cut off your head if you dont' Mia joked.
'of course i did. I also got stuffs for mother but...she's obviously mad at me. I dont know how i'm going to earn her forgiveness. I really provoked her' Shivani said suddenly feeling remorseful.
Mia fought the urge to scoff and roll her eyes.
Mother's girl, always wanting to be on her goodside. She snorted silently.
But she forced a smile 'you shouldnt worry too much. You know mother's like that. She loves controlling everyone's lives. You shouldnt listen to her. Get married to the man you love, Dike or whatever should go to hell!' She goaded.
'i know, i know mum loves controlling people's live but she's our mum. She wouldnt want me to get married to that man if it wouldnt be for my own good'
Her brows went up immediately 'so what are you trying to say now? What about Choudhary? Are you going to get married to Dike?'
'i didnt exactly say that' Shivani swallowed 'but i just want mum to be happy. She's been through so much for us you know'
'so what are you trying to say in essence? That you're going to throw your fiance away and get married to man who's not going to make you happy? Really Shivani?' She couldnt believe this. Shivani must never get married to Dike. No! Dike was hers, and hers alone.
'dont make it sound that bad' Shivani pouted.
'if thats what you're planning to do, then i'm highly disappointed in you Shiv. I never expected you to stoop so low!' She packed the things her sister got for her and proceeded to leave the room.
'Mia? Mia? Come back please' Her sister called but she ignored her.
She had to do something.

Having recently undergone a full refurbishment, and to keep our home looking as lovely as it is today for all future guests, we ask that all outdoor shoes are removed and left in the hallway. Bring your own slippers, or use those supplied in your room, and make yourself at home.
We share our home with two friendly, elderly Burmese cats. They do have access to the whole house so would advise anyone with a cat allergy to consider the suitability of our home for their accommodation needs.
As many guests come for some peace and quiet, and because we can only accept 2 guests per room (there is one sofa bed in one room), we only take guests over the age of 12.
Further information can be found in the links below but should you have any additional questions please don't hesitate to contact us and we'll do our best to help.

It has been a while since I've been in touch. I'm sitting in an internet cafe in the heart of Kathmandu, listening to people saw, hammer and sand wood as they renovate the cafe. The city is in the midst of a transportation strike – the last I heard was that there were talks being held between the government, transportation industry leaders and students. The trouble is that gas prices have soared, so transport folks have had to raise the fares on buses, taxis, and share vans, and students are demanding a greater percentage discount on travel. So the city's public transportation is simply closed down until things are worked out. This morning, my friend Emily and I were part of a river of people flowing towards the post office and banks. Private cars (of which there are not many), motorbikes and bicycles have been the only vehicles out and about. It is certainly an interesting time to be in this country.
As soon as the strike ends, I head up to the hills to visit the home town of colleagues of mine, Simi Gaun. I was able to visit their homes during our December/January holiday, and I promised to return again before I return to the United States. I'm looking forward to the time walking – it's a beautiful part of the country – and also to being able to attend my friend Lakuma's wedding, which will take place during the two weeks that I am there.
It is hard to believe that I return to the United States in under a month, but this too is exciting. I am looking forward to visiting Chicago and Disciples Divinity House, and also meeting you. My mum mentioned that perhaps the best time for me to come would be sometime in October. I will begin my seminary applications in earnest upon my return to the United States. Part of me would like to get started sooner, but more than that, I want to be fully present here in the time that I have. I know that leaving will be hard, and that I have made some friendships that, however well I maintain, will be with me for the rest of my life. One of the greatest lessons I have learned during my time here is that of generosity – that giving and receiving are powerful ways of demonstrating love and of connecting with others. I know that I cannot calculate the value of the gifts I have received – both material gifts as well as gifts of love, companionship, friendship, wisdom. I feel indebted to people in a way that empowers me to be more generous with my own time, energy, love and material wealth. Smile. It's probably the single thing that has affected me the most during my last two years. And I think a big question that I will be dealing with in the coming years, as well as for the rest of my life, is how I can best share my gifts with others; how I can share with other people the generosity that I have experienced in my time here.
Sometimes I wonder about my return to the United States – I feel, sometimes, that I have forgotten what it is like, the US that is. Whether people smile at the cashier, say hello and ask about his/her day. Whether we stop to help a confused-looking person find their way. Whether a conversation begun on a bus ride extends to an invitation to stop somewhere and share a pot of tea. These are details of life in the United States that I cannot remember. I also must remember that it is different in different places and with different people within the United States. One of my students this last semester was very good at reminding his fellow students and the rest of us that there is no such thing as "American Culture." That so often, the culture that would be discussed and labeled as such was not the culture from which he came, nor the American culture with which he identified. It will be interesting for me to return to the United States and deal with questions of culture, identity, right action, and integrity in an environment that is familiar but yet in which I, as the person I am today, am new. Smile. Many thoughts. I look forward to sharing more with you in person and in hearing about you – some of the places, events and people who are part of who you are.

Good 7,4 From 239 reviews
The hotel was clean and in a great location (2 metro stations very close). Most of staff spoke some English. The bed was like card board and you could feel the springs in your back. I needed help calling one of our reservations (our US phones could not make international calls) and they refused to let us call. I was finally able to get one of the receptionists to call the number I had. They did keep our luggage the last day we were there but when I needed a taxi they could not get me a taxi. They kept saying their system was down and told me I would have to figure out a way of getting one myself.
Dated and WELL below the standard hotel in Ginza. Front desk staff was inept, unwilling to help and barely speak a word of English. Rooms were outdated, small even for Japanese standards and smelly. Only salvation grace was the fact that it was a 2 minute walk to the subway. You can DEFINITELY find something just as well located and priced in a MUCH better ptoperty
Front desk staff were friendly and could understand English well. Hotel is within walking distance to Tsukiji market and a few train stations. A 10-min walk leads one to Ginza area. Room was a bit small, but comparable to other Tokyo hotels. Clean. Very reasonable pricing.
Good value. Staff are very helpful and efficient.

Is it possible that a complex humanoid creature to somehow still use Mitosis as a method for reproduction, and if so, what would it look like?
1$\begingroup$ Do you mean reproduction instead of breeding? Breeding is generally taken to be the act of sexual intercourse of some kind, whereas reproduction involves the whole process up to and including giving birth. $\endgroup$ – a CVn Apr 14 '16 at 12:28
While BlindKungFuMaster is sort of correct, I don't think that is what you had in mind.
You want a humanoid body that splits in half, and then the resulting two forms are viable individuals.
The problem with this is that splitting a human in half makes us non-functional, so first you need to duplicate all the vital organs. But that's still not enough, how do you do the split? The most likely way would be a vertical split from the top of the head to the crotch, this has the least "surface area" to create and reseal.
So this would probably start with the growth of vestigial limbs at the front and back of the body, these would grow gradually, becoming more and more viable. At the same time internally the vital organs are duplicating and splitting, until eventually you have two hearts, the two lobes of the lung have separated and are starting to form a new pair.
The head would start to expand outwards and new brain cells fill in as memories are copied between the two halves as they gradually become more and more separate.
After a few months you have a body with two heads, and extra limbs front and back. The two systems would continue to separate and new skin grow in to cover them all until eventually they fall completely apart and rise as two separate individuals. They then have to argue over who gets which possessions.
During early stages they would be able to function as normal. Once the separation grew advanced enough this would become harder and the last few weeks would involve bed rest most likely. The splitting and reforming of the brain would most likely cause confusion and mood swings, and the two resulting people while being genetically identical would not have fully identical memories or personalities.
1$\begingroup$ You could also have a full set of redundancy in internal organs (unlike our case where some are singular) and the missing half grows back after splitting. $\endgroup$ – JDługosz Apr 14 '16 at 12:58
Doubling every part of the body and then splitting into two separate persons strikes me as unrealistic. Humans (or any creature really) need a long time to build up so much tissue, after all this isn't just filling fat cells until you have added 50, 60 kilos. So this would basically amount to a several year pregnancy in which you add another hundred percent of your body weight!
Instead I would consider something akin to the power of a planaria. These flatworms can be cut into up to 50 pieces and every single piece turns into a fully functional worm again. They do this by turning cells back into stem cells and then basically rearranging the complete layout of the little part until a small but viable worm is recreated.
For humanoids this sounds farfetched, but less so if your humanoids have organs that are decentralised and redundant. In that case they might just drop an arm and wait until it turns into a baby …
Let's say if a body part is dropped or cut from the body the skin secretes a kind of cocoon in which the transformation into a baby occurs. That would be similar to the metamorphosis of an insect, which also often involves a switch to a completely new body layout.
$\begingroup$ Ovum etc. sounds like you are thinking of parthenogenesis, not mitosis. There is no egg or whatnot developing into a new body starting with a single cell. He's asking about the adult body splitting in half. $\endgroup$ – JDługosz Apr 14 '16 at 12:55
$\begingroup$ No, an adult body splitting in half would have nothing to do with mitosis. Except of course, if this adult body is a single cell, not very plausible for humanoids. The difference between parthenogenesis and sexual reproduction is (usually) that there is mitosis instead of meiosis+fertilisation. But you might be right that TrEs-2b was going for full body splitting, in that case "mitosis" was just an unfortunate choice of words. $\endgroup$ – BlindKungFuMaster Apr 14 '16 at 13:14
$\begingroup$ I assume the term is adapted by anology, organs for organelles. It's sometimes used this way in science fiction. $\endgroup$ – JDługosz Apr 14 '16 at 13:23
1$\begingroup$ You are probably right, maybe I'll adapt my answer. $\endgroup$ – BlindKungFuMaster Apr 14 '16 at 13:26
Mitosis is a process specific to single-celled organisms. However, there are some multicellular animals, such as planaria and starfish, that are capable of breaking into fragments and regenerating into multiple individuals. Some starfish will fragment proactively as their main means of reproduction.
The main reason why this ability is absent in 'higher' animals is due to the complexity of the central nervous system. Vertebrates have a highly regulated growth pattern with very specific stages from zygote to adult that does not work well unless it develops from start to finish. While some vertebrates have limited regenerative abilities, we cannot grow a whole central nervous system unless we start from scratch.
If a vertebrate were to 'split' in order to reproduce, it would need to grow a new body as a 'bud', starting from a lump of cells and passing through the standard growth stages before breaking off of the parent body. Of course, this would be a lot more inconvenient than just growing a clone inside the body... which is just parthenogenesis.
$\begingroup$ I would probably de-specify away from CNS as we are just complicated all around but this is a good answer. $\endgroup$ – James♦ Apr 14 '16 at 13:58
I asked a somewhat related question in May 2015: What needs to be different in order for a parthenogenetically reproducing species to evolve sentience?
The answers might be useful to you, although they focus on the conditions in which asexual reproduction might dominate rather than on what the mechanics would be. As BlindKungFuMaster has said above there is no obvious reason why the humanoid shape, or sentience, should be a barrier to it occurring. It is rare but not unknown in large animals. It sometimes occurs in komodo dragons and turkeys.
Note that parthenogenesis can occur with or without mitosis, though I confess I don't really understand what "Parthenogenesis can occur without meiosis through mitotic oogenesis" means.
1$\begingroup$ Lost this seems more commentary and doesn't really address the questions being asked. I'd recommend reworking it a bit. $\endgroup$ – James♦ Apr 14 '16 at 14:00

Lamu Town is one of the oldest and best preserved Swahili settlements in East Africa, but over time, the island has seen many influences, including Portuguese explorers, Turkish traders, and the Omani Arabs. Despite all these influences, Lamu developed its own particular culture, which has ultimately endured.
The island is a beautiful place of rolling dunes and endless beaches, where tiny villages nestle among coconut and mango plantations and lateen-sailed dhows ply the waters. Dense mangrove forests fringe the mainland and the inland areas of the island. Lamu boasts some of the most spectacular beaches with layers of white sand, traditional dhows and a pristine appearance. The most significant of these beaches is situated close to Shela village and consists of 12km of empty sands backing on to an ocean protected by a reef.
Spices and the smell of grilled food scent the air around the markets, museums, fort and ancient house. The winding streets of the towns are best explored on foot or by donkey, while shopping for local woodcarvings and batik.
Lamu Island is rich in cultural heritage, incorporating an enchanting cultural mix of African, Arab and Indian. Things are very slow-paced and donkeys and old dhow boats offer the primary means of transport.
Lamu Town is Kenya's oldest living town and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Being one of the original Swahili settlements, this town has painstakingly preserved the Swahili architecture.
Lamu Island is part of the ancient Arab trade route and it is believed that the Lamu port, which was established by the original traders, has existed for at least 1000 years. This gives the island a nostalgic sense of culture and living history.
The beaches of the Lamu archipelago are believed to be amongst the best in Kenya. Prepare for a beach holiday made for relaxation and unwinding.
The Tusitiri Dhow Safari offers guests an unusual sailing safari on a traditional Dhow! The Enasoit Tusitiri Dhow has been restored and is a majestic and comfortable vessel. Nights are spent under the stars on the deck, accompanied with delicious local food,
This small lodge offers a true island paradise ideal for a romantic getaway in a remote corner of East Africa where guests can relax and indulge in lazy days on beautiful beaches and romantic, candlelit dinners overlooking the ocean.
The Peponi Hotel is located upon a headland of Lamu Island and offers easy access to miles of sandy beaches and is within walking distance of Shela Village. It is a small hotel with a combination of beach, ocean and garden views from its 24 rooms.
This is a private and secluded lodge that offers guests peace and tranquility in luxuriously appointed cottages overlooking the ocean. Privacy, personal service and top quality food take precedence at Kizingo Lodge.
Kijani House is beautifully fitted out with antiques or handmade replicas of the furniture, laterns, ornaments and utensils that once filled the stately houses of Lamus past. The restaurant serves fresh fish and farm produce.
Over the past 30 years Peponi Hotel has grown into a hotel offering attentive service, delicious meals and endless relaxation. The hotel has a total of 24 rooms which are divided into standard and superior rooms. It offers all the amenities of a beach-side hotel but it is in walking distance of the sleepy village life of Shela.
For complete barefoot luxury and seclusion we would recommend the Kizingo Lodge. It is located at one end of a magnificent 12km beach that stretches from Kizingo to the village of Shela. Accommodates in 8 large bandas with cool thatch roofs and shaded balconies located right on the beach overlooking the ocean.
Manda Bay is a small and intimate boutique resort offering complete privacy situated on the north western tip of Manda Island, one of the many unspoilt idyllic islands within the romantic Lamu archipelago. Accommodation is in 16 cottages constructed from local materials and designed in keeping with the local landscape.
Guests travelling to Kenya for a game-viewing holiday will opt for either a 'fly-in-fly' or a 'fly-in-drive' safari, which will determine whether they make use of air or road transfers to get to their destination.
All guests will enter Kenya at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, the capital city. This airport is the travel portal for Kenya and can get very busy, so guests will often continue with their domestic flights from Wilson airport, which is 18km away.
Depending on the safari destination, guests will either connect with a charter flight from Wilson or Jomo Kenyatta airports to the reserve, or they will embark on a road journey from Nairobi to the reserve.
Access to Lamu Island is achieved via flight from Nairobi to Manda Island, and a 10 minute ferry across to Lamu.
Guests can take relaxation to a whole new level on Lamu Island, with most lodges offering massages and beauty therapies. To get out and about, guests will be thrilled by sunset cruises on traditional dhows, or visits to surrounding islands. Enjoy a variety of water sports including wind surfing, kitesurfing, bodysurfing, sailing and water-skiing. Take long walks along deserted beaches with sightings of dolphins offshore. Discover the islands history at the Lamu Museum or old fort.
The pristine beaches are not the only attraction to Lamu. Lamu Town is a delightful anachronism carrying on its daily life as it has done for centuries. Electricity only arrived a few decades ago, and there are still almost no motor vehicles. Life moves at a pace of a donkey or a dhow.
Shela is the other main town on Lamu Island, and is a 10 minute boat ride from Lamu. Although it lacks the vibrancy of Lamu Town, it is smaller, quieter and more elegant than Lamu - distinctively more upmarket. Manda Island itself is also fascinating. The huge baobab trees dominate the skyline and the ruins of Takwa can be found after negotiating through thick mangrove swamps.
Kenya lies on the equator and has a warm, tropical climate, but factors such as altitude and regional location can affect climate. Kenya's daytime temperatures average between 20 and 28 degrees Celsius, but it is warmer on the coast.
Due to its positioning on the equator, Kenya does not have a specific summer and winter, but seasons can be distinctly divided into dry and wet seasons.
During the dry season (June to October) the sky is clear and the sun is shining, although these include the coldest months of the year. Early mornings can drop to around 12 degrees, so it is advised to pack warm clothing as morning game drives in open vehicles will be cold.
During the wet season (November to May) daytime temperatures vary between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius, depending on altitude. A period of 'short rains' occur between November and December, while the main rainy season, called the 'long rains' arrive after a short dry spell, in March April and May.
Our expertise in African travel comes from years of experience travelling the continent, canoeing the rivers, walking the bush trails, and seeing the stars. We've been on the game drives and watched the sunsets, spent nights wrapped up in remote areas, and eaten great food around the fire. Our recommendations come first-hand, and they are your assurance that a safari booked with us is one we know you'll love, because we did.
We know a safari can be pricey, but we guarantee that we're giving you the best deal on your travel. We don't want your trip to Africa to be a once in a lifetime experience, we want you to do it again, and again! Through nurtured relationships with our suppliers, we can offer you the best deal they've got, and you'll never pay more than you should for your accommodation. If you find the same holiday for less, we'll confidently better the price.
Just like the spots on a leopard's back, each of our tailor-made itineraries is unique. Every journey has a personality, carefully designed to match the desires and expectations our clients bring to the table. Every element is taken into consideration to stitch together a personalised safari experience, grown from seed and cultivated to embody the perfect adventure. Our tailored itineraries are your safari dreams, defined.

Energy Export Initiative
China's economic growth, industrial development and rapid urbanization process during recent years have led to a surge in energy demand. The country has already shown initial improvements by cutting its energy intensity by 18.4% per unit of GDP during the period of the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015). However, despite these efforts, China's overall energy consumption rose on average 5.3% per year over the past decade. In addition, China's share of global energy consumption is currently around 23% - and rising. Within the framework of the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020), the Chinese government sets new priorities for energy efficiency and renewable energy with the aim of reducing energy consumption by a further 15% per unit of GDP until 2020. The energy, industry and building sectors will play a key role in this regard.
The challenges in China provide promising opportunities for German technologies and solutions for renewable energy and energy efficiency. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in these sectors will receive targeted support, through the Energy Export Initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), in tapping the potential of promising foreign markets, such as China.
Within the framework of the Energy Export Initiative of the BMWi, German Industry & Commerce Greater China has implemented a series of measures in recent years, in order to support German companies in the Chinese market. Throughout the coming years, further activities will be organized on a regular basis.
Information regarding our activities is available at the website of the Energy Export Initiative:

Here is Sydney doing a front flip (I think). You can see Heather and Taylor in the background.
We had so much fun watching our grandkids show off their acrobatic feats. When time came to eat, everyone was hungry and appreciated all the array of food offered.

Excerpt: Read 118 of the most intriguing data points from HackerOne's Hacker- Powered Security Report 2018. Get the facts to learn how security teams are working with hackers to crush more bugs and make the internet safer for everyone.
Main image: TBD
Another year, another Hacker-Powered Security Report! We pulled out 100 of the report's top facts—and then added 18 more, since it's 2018. See below for a better understanding of how hacker-powered security is disrupting (in a good way) how organizations approach security.

In 2018, the HackerOne community and those using our platform have combined to crush every metric that we track. Organizations awarded more than $11 million in bounties. Hackers submitted more than 78,000 reports. Bounties were awarded to hackers in over 100 countries.

how is life? It's Friday!! Yay! I guess if I'm looking forward to the week-end so much, I don't enjoy my job as I should right? LOL :)
Anyway, no plans for the week-end. I wanted to hang out with my friends, but nobody is available :( However, we have a friend whose birthday is on the 26th, so I guess we'll catch up at that moment.
I went to the library last Tuesday... I was a bit disappointed. The romance section hasn't grown that much. Sure, I could find some new books it didn't have before, but still not that great. Also, they stopped "hardening" the covers of the paperbacks and tradesize paperbacks. Now they just protect the books with plastic :( The good news however is that all the books I wanted it (and check on the catalogue before going) were there. So I got Once in Every Life by Kristin Hannah, a couple of Barbara Michaels, 1 Erin McCarthy vampire series...
*EDIT: They were all in my spam box!! Why were they there when every other day, they are in my inbox, I have no idea!! Stupid gmail sometimes. Speaking of spam box, anyone has received Maria V. Snyder's newsletter recently (it happened once that it went directly to my spam box @!^&%$@). It's been a while since I got one.
By the way, reading-wise, I've been doing really good... 1 book/night... except for yesterday night where I just crashed and slept... LOL, I guess I've been reading too much instead of sleeping :) Later today, I'm going to cut my hair... must do it. It's long - well at least, for me... I'm cutting it this week to see if I like it or not... if I don't like it, I'll have time to go get a second haircut before Holly's wedding :P speaking of wedding, Ames and I finally chose a hotel to stay at in Las Vegas: Luxor. I'm getting all excited. We have everything booked - plane tickets, hotels in Las Vegas and Laughlin, tickets for "O" and etc. All that's missing is car rental... So I think I'm going to start a list of what I need to bring for the trip this week-end.

Every last minute shopper, busy human, and procrastinator thanks their lucky stars for the day Amazon came into their life. Instead of rummaging through racks in crowded shopping malls, you can scroll on Amazon for pretty much anything in the world, click, and it's yours. And, although Amazon boasts some pretty amazing prices and you have the added benefit of being able to compare items to get the best deals, there's one thing that's always welcome: these Amazon shopping tricks that everyone should know.
You may be the savviest shopper on the block, but there's always another shopping hack out there that can save you time and money while ensuring you get the quality product you dream of owning. Whether you're shopping for clothing, accessories, household items, toys, health supplies, or more (really, we could go on all day), these Amazon shopping tricks will make your shopping experience even easier and more enjoyable.
Amazon Shopping Trick For Saving More Money
1. You Can Save Money On Beauty Products With Prime Samples
Amazon has a page called Prime Samples that allows Amazon Prime members to actually try out amazing samples of products for so little money, you'll find yourself filling up that cart fast. Each time you buy a sample, you even get a credit that's equal to the price you paid for that sample.
So, let's say you buy a sample of body lotion for $3, Amazon provides a $3 credit that you can use toward any body lotion purchase you may make in the future (credits do expire after 180 days so make sure you use them). How great is that?
You have to be an Amazon Prime member to benefit from samples—but another incentive is that shipping is free and you should receive your samples within three to five days. You can sample items like charcoal toothpaste for as low as $2, Phyto hair masks for $2, and Skindinavia primer for $4. The one caveat, but it's a fair one, is that you can't sample the same product more than once.
2. The Amazon Prime Extension Is A Real Thing
One of the major benefits of paying for an Amazon Prime account is the guarantee that you will get your items within a certain number of days—usually two to three days. But systems aren't perfect and there may be times when your shipment is delayed. One of the greatest things about Amazon's Customer Service is that they are receptive to complaints. If you email Customer Service and explain that you expected your delivery on a certain day, there's a decent chance they will extend your Prime membership by one month (which is about $8 in value) or provide you with a small ($10 to $15) credit.
It's important though to remember that you won't get anything unless you take the time to send Customer Service a message. A Prime account isn't cheap, and a guaranteed delivery date should be honored—if it isn't, receiving some sort of compensation is fair.
3. If Your Product Goes On Sale After You Purchase It, You May Get A Credit
Amazon has something called Price Protection. If you purchase an item at full price via Amazon.com LLC and, within seven days of that purchase, you notice the price has dropped (which is more common on Amazon than you might think), you are entitled to a credit in the amount that makes up the difference.
As with the Prime Extension request, you'll need to spend a little time chatting with an Amazon Customer Service representative to explain the situation, provide your order number, and request a credit. But most times, Amazon is receptive and will give you back the difference.
4. You May Be Able To Get Items For A Lower Price
If you find an item on Amazon and also find it on a competing website for a lower price, Amazon provides a way for you to actually request their product at a lower price, reports Time. Go to "Product Details" and click on "Tell us about a lower price." Fill out the information requested and then prepare to spend the next few days going back to check on the product you want to see if Amazon has dropped its price.
