Keno, an easy-to-play number-drawing game, has been putting the smiles on the faces and money in the pockets of gamblers for many years. Today it can be played in person or online, and Bitcoin casinos are playing too!
Play it safe or risk it all, no matter your strategy you can be sure that Bitcoin will help you thanks to how anonymous, fair and easy it is. Below you can find information about Bitcoin Keno online, and the benefits of using cryptocurrencies to gamble.
Use Bitcoin to play Keno
If you are mad about Keno, here is a list of Bitcoin casinos which give you the chance to play.
Bitcoin Keno Licensed Games
Many Keno games are available through the CoinGaming platform, which houses many games. Four Keno games are available at sites powered by CoinGaming, together with live-dealer lottery games: Instant Keno, with 40-ball and 80-ball games, Traditional Keno, and Klub Keno.
Instant Keno
An 80-ball game with simple and fun animations. Choose up to eight numbers then select the coins and number of rounds. On the right-hand side of the screen, you will notice the odds and payouts change while more balls are added. Hit the PLAY button, and the balls emerge from a tube at the grid's base and, in an arc, go towards their number. A 40-ball version of the game exists, with smaller odds due to the higher probability of finding a number.
Traditional Keno
Another 80-ball game, users choose their numbers, coin size and rounds. If you match a number, it's highlighted with a red circle.
Klub Keno
This is a 40-ball game which contains paint-splatter effects. Bets can be as tiny as one-fiftieth of a millibitcoin. A gambler can also play the 'Star Ball' which doubles your payout when hit. Using the buttons on the bottom of the screen, a player can enjoy ten rounds at any one time.
Live dealer lottery games are fairly similar to, but not identical to, Keno. Choose from 49 numbers drawn from a lotto machine. If you correctly predict five or six numbers (it varies game to game), you can win big, and smaller rewards are given for matching fewer numbers.
Fair Bitcoin Keno Games
The second category of Bitcoin Keno games uses technology that is fair and proper. They are easier to play than those in physical casinos when it comes to both gameplay and graphics. Players combine a server string with a random computer-generated number drawn after each draw. You can be sure the game is not rigged, even if the graphics are a little rudimentary.
Benefits of Bitcoin Keno
Playing Keno might not give you the same choice of games as in more traditional casinos, but you can grab a lot of advantages, such as playing anonymously. You will not need to verify your location or identity or provide any personal information when you sign up. All the site asks of you is an email address to confirm your registration at a Bitcoin casino.
If you need more convincing, what about the fact that when you use Bitcoin you will incur no charges for withdrawing or paying money. This is useful for American users of the casino because when you use credit cards the fees are up to 5% of the initial sum. Without paying these sorts of fees, Bitcoin casinos offer better terms to those who play games there, and many establishments pass on these savings through excellent reload bonuses.
Finally, Bitcoin casinos are the only place to prove how fair casino games are. The house doesn't always win.

1990's Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue is something like the "We Are The World" of animated propaganda films. Watching a plethora of animated characters across multiple universes and property rights come together in an effort to help guide a wayward teen away from the darkside of drugs and back towards the light is about as humanitarian an effort as we're likely to witness in the annals of the anti-drug propaganda canon.
The animated film, which mixes the life-spanning narrative of A Christmas Carol with the on-screen assemblage of The Avengers, opens with an intro by then-President George H. W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush, who urge viewers to start a conversation with friends and family after watching the program. First Lady Barbara spends the entire effort petting their dog Millie, looking a bit more like a supervillain than a concerned citizen, but no matter as we quickly fade out from the White House and into the bedroom of a youngster named Corey.
We see a mysterious hand reaching into a bedroom and snatching a piggy bank. Just then, the camera zooms into the pages of a comic book laying on the floor, the breeze from an open window shuffling the pages and bringing us into The Smurf village. Papa Smurf awakens and notices the missing piggy bank, which I guess looms over the pages of the comic book and above the skyline of Smurf village, proving that not even the Smurfs are immune from the oppressive visual presence of capitalism.
The Smurfs quickly jump out of the page, catapulting a number of other famous, animated characters to come to life, including Alf who exits a picture frame and helps the group try and figure out where Corey's piggy bank went — though why Corey has a framed headshot of Alf in her bedroom goes undiscussed. Alf goes and wakes up Garfield, who is the living embodiment of "blazed," who then gathers Alvin and the Chipmunks and Winnie the Pooh to investigate. In an act of emotional terrorism, they leave the grotesque Ghostbusters ghost to be floating bedside to deliver the bad news to Corey.
Corey eventually catches her brother, Mikey, going through the coins out of her broken piggy bank, a betrayal of the highest order. He's acting different, his eyes are red, he shoves a mysterious box under the bed, and unknowingly into the hands of the Chipmunks who are hiding out and listening to the entire confrontation.
What we learn is that Mikey has fallen prey to the most insidious force of all: peer pressure. His friend group has quietly bullied him into dabbling with drugs, and now the dude is full-on addicted and running away from the police. (Note: Mikey went from "dabbler" to "addict" in less time than it takes to watch this whole PSA). It turns out he has his own little animated sidekick: a purple, ghoulish spirit, most accurately read to be the essence of drug addiction. As he's chased by the cops, Mikey reaches a dead end in the alleyway, and begins to plead with the approaching officer, who is suddenly revealed to be none other than ya boy Bugs Bunny.
The PSA then goes into a tailspin when Bugs and Mikey enter a time machine, which really loses its punch after Bugs declares they're going all the way back to "two years ago." From there, the movie delves into a blend of '70s psychedelia and '80s moral goodness, with the cartoon characters taking Mikey into the corridors of his own brain. There, he sees himself in a hall of mirrors, each manipulating the contours of his face and body so he resembles a gaunt addict (though the illustrations never get too grotesque, instead depicting him as if he were seasick or has food poisoning).
Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue is, objectively, a pandering piece of anti-drug propaganda, but it's also arguably one of the campaign's most important. Released on April 21, 1990 — whether it consciously meant to orbit 4/20 is unclear — the film was hyped and heavily promoted event television for the Saturday morning cartoon set. It remains the single largest anti-drug PSA effort in history, and has the noble distinction of being the first ever scripted program to air simultaneously across all four major networks: ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX.
In January of 1990, President Bush approved a 50% increase in military spending as related to the War On Drugs, specifically focusing on the influx of criminal activity in Nicaragua and Columbia. At home, the war was being waged on a much smaller turf, though with no less a financial push. This spot was one of many funded by none-other than McDonalds, an early corporate partner in the war on drugs. It cost millions of dollars to make, though allegedly the licensing fees of the properties used were willingly waived, making this one of the first and only times that characters across multiple different franchise properties appeared in a single work together.
"This kid's got a one way ticket to nowheresville," Alf says, watching as Mikey leans further and further into the annals of drug use. This image works twofold: it allows kids to, perhaps, better digest the lesson of drug use by having it come through the mouth of a cartoon they've grown to care about. But there is also the notion that these figures have become authorities of a certain type of value, and that their disappointment means something. At a certain point, even a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle manages to make a cameo and pitch a message.
The image of this kind of capitalist harmony goes a longer way to making an impact than any of the cartoon's actual content. It is truly an American notion, to lean onto the talisman of corporate sponsorships in an effort to clean the country up. In a way, Cartoon All-Stars is most meaningful as an example of this twisted conflation of American values and American icons. Its most meaningful content comes rather symbolically, watching cartoon characters essentially try and revive a young child's innocence.
By the end of the film, after touring his past, his present, and even the corridors of his own brain, Mikey snaps out of it when he sees the Purple Smoke trying to lure Corey into drugs as well. The film ends with a musical number, "Wonderful Ways To Say No," written by Academy Award winner Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, most beloved for their work in The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. My personal favorite "way to say no" is definitely, "just say you're allergic!" an excuse I'll be using anytime I'm confronted with drugs, working out, working in general.
Less than a year before this PSA came out, President Bush delivered one of the most definitive speeches of his presidency, when he held up a bag of crack he claimed had been purchased at a park directly across from the White House. The situation had been, we would later discover, a bit of a set up: a dealer was coerced into coming to the park in an effort to buy the drug in proximity to the White House for dramatic effect (the dealer, it's said, did not even know where the White House was). Thus, the escalation in the War On Drugs under Bush's tenure began, where he pledged $1 billion dollars in the effort to stop the drug epidemic. "We need more jails, more prisons, more courts, and more prosecutors," he said.
Cartoon All-Stars seems an unlikely example of this bold step forward, but within the framework of how intellectual property works in this country, it's a power move. These are characters that have never before shared a screen together, largely because corporate interest places them in direct competition with each other. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" seems to apply to fictionalized cartoon characters, too, as the project manages to embody both the best and the worst of American popular culture: positive influence via corporate manipulation, which is really scary when you come to think of it.
In one of the final scenes, Alf drags Mikey to an office door marked "The Man In Charge," in an effort to show him that while he thinks he is responsible for his own actions, the perils of drug addiction will always overtake freewill. When he enters the room, the back of the boss's chair is facing us, concealing The Man's identity. When the chair turns around, he's greeted by — no surprise — the fucking purple smoke. It's a reveal meant to tell you that before you know it, you take drugs and then drugs overtake you. But the message is influence; we'll do whatever we're told to. What if it behooved Bush Sr. to push the drug agenda for reasons that had nothing to do with us? What if these same cartoons were used for more insidious motives? Manipulated to telegraph a different message, effective because of their familiarity. The Man In Charge will always be whatever bares the most influence, with or without drugs. Alf walks Mikey into that room, and Alf could've been sitting in that chair.

Fressle leads six freshmen who score in their collegiate debut with six goals
EASTON, Mass. (February 24, 2019) – Stonehill College opened its 2019 season with a commanding 21-2 victory over Queens (N.Y.) College in non-conference women's lacrosse action on Timothy J. Coughlin, '80 Memorial Field at W.B. Mason Stadium this afternoon.
Stonehill, featuring a roster filled with ten freshmen, saw six of them net goals in their collegiate debuts, accounting for 15 of the Skyhawks 21 markers this afternoon. Kendall Fressle led the way with six goals in her collegiate debut, converting 2-of-4 free-position attempts, and adding two ground balls and a caused turnover. Classmate Emma Sullivan netted four goals and collected a team-high eight draw controls, with five ground balls and two caused turnovers, while freshman Meghan Manzo recorded five points with a goal and four assists. Corinne Lewis rounded out the Skyhawk freshmen with multiple goals, netting a pair to go with five ground balls and a caused turnover. Classmates Brittany Eccleston and Julia D'Agostino rounded out the freshmen to score goals in their debuts. D'Agostino also chipped in with four draws, two ground balls and a caused turnover.
Junior Kaity Healey, who missed all but three games last season due to injury, returned with a five point game, adding two goals and three assists, with two draw controls and two ground balls. Classmate Jennifer Wheaton added four points with three goals and an assist, collecting four draws, while sophomore Olivia Pino totaled a goal and two assists, with two caused turnovers.
Junior Bailey Grant and sophomore Kaleigh Wright split the goalkeeping duties for Stonehill, with Grant notching one save in the first half. Sophomore Jessica Serpe registered 11 saves and seven draw controls in goal for Queens.

Senior Patriece Ausili and freshman Chloe Herzog each netted goals for Queens. Ausili also collected two draw controls, while sophomore Rebecca Gibble chipped in with three ground balls, a draw and caused turnover.
Stonehill scored the first nine goals of the contest in the opening 14:04 and didn't look back, building a 16-1 lead by halftime. The Skyhawks got goals from five different players over the first eight minutes, with Manzo recording a goal and assist, before Wheaton scored her second on a free-position shot 8:37 into the half for a 6-0 Stonehill lead. Fressle's first collegiate goal gave Stonehill a seven goal lead with 20:38 remaining in the first half and then Lewis netted back to back goals within a two-minute span to stretch the Skyhawks lead to nine goals with 15:56 remaining.
Herzog broke up the streak with her first goal in her collegiate debut with 14:58 on the clock, but Stonehill scored the last seven goals of the half to stake out its 16-1 lead at the intermission. Fressle started the seven-goal run for the Skyhawks with consecutive free-position goals within a two-minute span and then Sullivan added her second and third goals of the half within two minutes for a 13-1 Stonehill lead with 5:28 remaining. Fressle added her fourth and fifth goals of the half, sandwiching D'Agostino's first career goal, to close out the first half scoring.
Wheaton had a hand in Stonehill first two goals of the second half, scoring her third of the day 3:34 in and then assisting on Fressle's sixth of the afternoon three minutes later to run the Skyhawks lead to 18-1. Sullivan capped her four-goal game off a feed from Manzo with 11:11 left that produced a 20-1 Stonehill lead.
Stonehill (1-0, 0-0 NE10) is right back in action on Tuesday, when it hosts Saint Thomas Aquinas College at W.B. Mason Stadium at 3 p.m. Queens (0-1, 0-0 ECC) hosts Holy Family University next Saturday at 1 p.m.

Well people, the new stall in the Village Market at Cape Quarter rocks! Dawn and I are having so much fun interacting with people and getting a sense of what it is that our products are used for and the social context, so to speak, in which our work must function. It has been an experience and a half.
One of the things I have noticed from this experience are the numbers of people who are coming to us for eczema related problems. Now it is a fact that rates of eczema, allergies and asthma have been rising steadily in the last few decades: "Worldwide the risk of developing eczema is reported to be increasing among children and adolescents and currently affects approximately 5-20%." http://www.allergysa.org/journals/2007/aug/Association%20between%20household%20living%20conditions%20and%20eczema%20in%20adolescents%20living%20in%20Limpopo%20Province%20South%20Africa.pdf
Of course it has been said that increasing environmental pollution has a lot to do with the steep rises in allergy-related diseases. As Maria Rodale points out in her amazing book Organic Manifesto, we are all being subjected to a great chemical experiment. Never before have humans been subjected to so many toxic substances for such a long period of time. The fact that each chemical individually has been declared 'safe' at low concentrations does not mean that they are safe for long term use stretching over decades, and mixed with each other. There has never been a study testing pesticides' interaction with each other over a sustained period of time, even in low doses. The only way we are ever going to find out what happens is now, when my generation who have been exposed to these things for a lifetime begin to age and show wear and tear on our bodies. In the meantime, yes, rising rates of eczema and asthma should worry us. You want to bet they are completely unrelated? Because the stake is our children's quality of life.
Be that as it may, there is some anecdotal evidence that switching to organic can help with severe eczema: " a trying seven year experience of eczema on my feet was reduced to practically nil since making the effort last autumn to obtain organic fruit and vegetables a major part of my diet, and both eaten raw." http://www.wddty.com/eczema-cured-by-cutting-out-pesticides.html To my customers I always say that preventing eczema starts with the soap. If you don't irritate your skin in the first place then there will be no reason to cure it. Moving from fossil-fuel based soaps (another chemical experiment in progress) to organic soaps is a good way to start minimizing damage. That they are made with renewable energy is just an added bonus, you are saving the planet while getting healthier. No supermarket chain is going to offer you that kind of benefits.
The same effect occurs with your body lotion. Buchu oil works well as a serious moisturizer, and we have had requests for an unscented body butter for those who like a lighter touch. A lot of the feedback I have been getting from customers is that the Buchu Oil Extra Strength does wonders for weeping eczema – whether it is the active ingredients or simply the fact that they are no longer stressing their skin with synthetics I do not know – but this is what I am being told. So if you are a severe eczema sufferer I would recommend trying the switch to organic food and body care. You may find you save lots of money on medical bills simply by not causing the problem in the first place.

Specialised in skincare Liz Earle started few years ago carrying her own makeup line. While it was rather modest at first, it has grown into whole line of makeup where you could find anything. When the very first makeup item was released, I had to get myself this item and so I got myself Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint SPF15 in shade 02 'Beige'. From there on I got sucked into the whole makeup line, designed towards women who seek natural healthy finish.
It served me so well and as I loved their skincare I was amazed how good that product was. It is like applying skincare and getting the benefits of makeup at the same time. Sheer Skin Tint is thicker, rich, but very creamy and smooth like a silk. It moisturises, hydrates, evens out the skin tone as it has quite high pigmentation to a word 'sheer' or 'tint'. I find it easier to apply with my clean fingers and this tint will adapt into my skin like a dream giving naturally even and perfect complexion. Even though I ran out of it, it lasted for a long time. Due to its concentrated texture and thicker texture a little bit goes a long way. So I had to get another one, which I keep using on days I need more coverage, yet doesn't want to feel the heaviness of regular foundation on my skin.
The other thing that tempted me until I got my hands on it was Liz Earle Healthy Glow Cream Blush and I have it in shade 02 'Blossom' which is dusty rose shade with nude warm undertones that would suit most undertones. Again, it is so creamy and goes on best when applied with fingers. It melts into skin and stays on it very long time. The name 'healthy glow' of this cream blush is extremely accurate as whenever I choose to use it are the times I feel sick, look tired or dull in general. Dewy, healthy-looking appearance is guaranteed when dabbing this one on my cheekbones. As I said, using it is easy and it is even easier to blend or build the coverage up by layering. This cream blush looks also amazing on lips by you giving creamy nude rosy pout.
These two makeup items were my staples in the winter time when were drier and needed something that would also take care of my skin while wearing makeup. I am sure we will get colder days also in the summer and I am able to use these till the drops.

Kool G. Rap and DJ Polo - Riker's Island. Lyrics
Well listen to me, you young hoods, this is some advice
You do the crime, you're payin the price
Cause if you're in the drug spots, sellin crack on the block
Snatchin chains, bustin brains, like a real hardrock
If you ever hear a cop say you're under arrest
Go out just like a trooper, stick out your chest
Cause you might have been robbin, you might have been whylin
But you won't be smilin on Riker's ISLAND
Just to hear the name it makes your spine tingle
This is a jungle where the murderers mingle
This ain't a place that's crowded but there's room for you
Whether you're white or you're black, you'll be black and blue
Cause in every cellblock, there is a hardrock
with a real nice device that's called a sock lock
Don't ever get caught in a crime my friend
Cause this bus trip is not to Adventure's Inn
They have a nice warm welcome, for new inmates
Razors, and shanks, and sharp edged plates
Posses will devour, punks with power
After the shower it's, rush hour
So watch your back before you get sacked
These a bunch of maniacs that's about to attack
If you're a hustlin pro, keep a low profile'n
Cause you won't be smilin on Riker's ISLAND
C-74, adolescents at war
Put your ear to the floor, you can hear the roar
They take you out of BC, they now found you a cage
All eyes are glued to you like you're up on stage
If you're soft as a leaf, don't get into a beef
And God be with you chief if you got gold teeth
Some try to be hard, front and say I'm God
Don't know a lesson say a blessin, you're gonna get scared
(Yo call the C.O.) That won't be necessary
He'll watch him beat you down, and take your commissary
Inside the lunchroom, you meet your doom
Someone is lookin at your sharper than a tablespoon
Use your hands like a man, don't go out like a chump
Never 'fess, bench press so that you can be pumped
If you don't got a game, you get beaten as lame
And scared as a mouse in a house of pain
So to all the jailbirds that listen to hip-hop
Move your pelvis like Elvis do the Jailhouse Rock
You might be coolin, you might be stylin
But you won't be smilin on Riker's ISLAND
If you're on a drug tip, don't be a Dumbo
Police investigate like Columbo if they think you're sellin jumbo
But don't get me wrong, it might be your thing
Whether smilin on the Island, or singin in Sing-Sing
The way you're takin pictures and you're givin a smile
Cheerin, the priveledge for a long long while
So keep your money pilin, keep profilin
Cause ahh, you won't be smilin on Riker's Island

There are so many areas of society that have been directly influenced by the Ancient Greeks. In fact, pretty much every aspect of our culture can be traced back to the Greeks in some way. They were pioneers and trailblazers and set the benchmark for the way we use things like math, science, and philosophy, even to this day.
In fact, we can learn a lot by looking back at how the Greeks did things and the discoveries they made. There are so many different Greek inventions that have influenced our world and society, but perhaps none more so than what they did with math. There are some things you probably never knew about Greek math, and here are a few to think about.
They used letters
We all know that math these days uses numbers so it might come as a surprise to find out that the Ancient Greeks actually used letters! Despite being highly talented mathematicians, the Greeks rarely used numbers, instead choosing to use geometry and shapes as their specialty. They also chose to use the letters of the Greek alphabet and added a few more in order to make it easier to use them for math. These letters could be combined in order to create separate numbers and build their number system.
They did have numbers though!
In spite of the fact that the Greeks generally used letters to do math, they still actually had numbers. But, these numbers were a little more rudimentary and tended to take the form of numbers influenced by Roman numerals, not to mention Arabic numerals. By using the alphabet they developed, they were able to create more numbers. It's interesting to note that the numbers they already had were not considered right for their mathematical explorations.
It helped them invent currency
You may not be aware that the Greeks actually invented coin money. They were the first civilization to start assigning value to different coins and placing value on commodities and goods. And, it's pretty clear none of this would have been possible were it not for the development of Greek math. Math was instrumental in helping to develop and nurture the economy of Ancient Greece, which, in the 4th and 5th centuries, was generally considered to be the best in the world.
They had no zero
One of the key reasons for the development of the Greek math style, especially the use of letters and symbols, was that it was a great way of getting around the issue of them not having a symbol for zero. They used different symbols where we would traditionally use a '0' but this, of course, meant they needed more symbols – hence the development of the Greek alphabet to translate perfectly to math.
It's pretty clear that the Greeks were setting a precedent for future civilizations, and their evolution with mathematics was one of the most important. We still use math to this day, and we continue to be inspired and influenced by the Greek forms of mathematics. It's clear that this is one of the most important things the Greeks ever pioneered.

6am NRR:
I sat in this morning, scared of pushing too hard and sending my health backwards. I was also scared that I might have no choice, DK rolled up and set up camp at the start of the bunch, making sure everyone knew just how strong he was... but from back in 15th wheel it felt ok. I just had to keep my head up so I could spot the blown guys I'd need to go around early, and make sure anything hacked from lungs was ejected safely out the side of the bunch.
I even put myself on the front of the chase bunch when a 50m split formed through the roundabouts at Mordi. I just tapped the pedals along, dragging everyone back up to the wheels of the lead riders.

Sitting around after Northy this morning I was feeling good, DK suggested he might roll this arvo, and like an over enthusiastic puppy, I said I'd join him.
The plan was 4 laps of the Kew Boulevard, riding 53x14. We ended up only doing one, as moment into that first lap the heavens opened up. That lap was still good quality, the gym block I'd done, and the morning's effort DK had done showed through, meaning I was able to ride away on the climbs. If only all racing was done on the tops in a big gear, my power booty would dominate all!

The Internet is a platform for every business to make its presence felt. In order to maintain a website, a web service provider needs to be contacted for hosting. You need to make a choice between shared and dedicated hosting. It would be impossible for a company to make this choice in haste, and it needs to consider many things before taking a final call.
What is Shared Hosting?
Also known as virtual hosting, it occurs when you dish out a monthly fee to a third-party service provider in order to use his equipment for your web server. The service provider handles everything from backup and security to setting up the server and managing the bandwidth. The sole task of your company here will be to develop the content for your website.
In this type, you end up sharing the server where your website is placed, with many other websites. This has various pros and cons, but the biggest disadvantage is the fact that you end up sharing many resources. It is also possible that the traffic on your website would be affected by the traffic on other websites, hosted on the same server.
Sharing the IP Address
Since you are sharing the server with other websites, you will obviously have the same IP address. If these websites happen to be blacklisted for spamming or some other illegal activity, you would also suffer the consequences for the same. To avoid such a scenario, you should choose your web host responsibly.
Greater Response Time
If there are two or more websites on the same server, it goes without saying that the response time for each individual website would be longer. This will make the visitors wait longer and they might not wish to visit your website again.
Server Crashes Often
In many cases, if the server host does not monitor the activities properly, the server will get overloaded and crash. This occurs more frequently in shared hosting vis-a-vis dedicated hosting. Choosing a web host that is reliable and well-known will help you avoid such a situation.
The most important benefit is the cost factor. Since you are sharing the server with other websites, it is pretty economical. Also the maintenance and monitoring of the server is not your responsibility, so you do not have to divert resources towards it.
Hardware and Security
As with any web based activity, good security is essential. This is handled by the service provider and you need not worry about it. The web host also provides the required hardware, so you do not have to invest any resources there.
What is Dedicated Hosting?
As opposed to shared server hosting, dedicated hosting carries greater efficiency, provides more security, and entails lesser problems. Dedicated web hosting service is mostly used by big corporations and businesses that see a large amount of traffic.
It simply means that your web server sits on its own box which is partly managed by the service provider. It is completely opposite to shared hosting, and means that the server is entirely dedicated to your needs and web traffic alone.
Faster Response
Since the server is solely dedicated to your website alone, the response time will be much lesser as there are smaller lines that the visitors have to wait in. This helps to maintain the level of traffic on your website.
No Bandwidth Restrictions
On shared server hosting, each website has a limit of bandwidth and it cannot be crossed. This is not applicable as far as dedicated server hosting is concerned. The entire bandwidth available on the server lies at your disposal.
Greater Control
In this case, you are the boss. Nobody's activities can harm the functioning of your website. You are free to install any application and you can also carry out script testing as regularly as you want. You're given much more freedom, as running your website smoothly is entirely your own responsibility in this case.
Higher Cost
Since you are monitoring and regulating the server yourself, the costs incurred will be greater. You will have to invest more on hardware and security and regularly carry out maintenance. As a result, the price will soar and so, dedicated server hosting is chosen only by big web-based companies, social networking sites or large corporations.
Greater Security
As compared to shared hosting, you can achieve greater levels of security in dedicated hosting. Again, this stems from the fact that you are in control of the security measures and you can adopt whatever means you find appropriate and necessary. The web host will also provide you with backups in this case.
Final Choice
Now that the difference between shared and dedicated hosting is clear, the question is which is better. The truth of the matter is that you cannot say that one of these methods is better than the other. You can only decide which one is more suitable for your business needs. The size of your company will also help you determine if you should opt for either.

NASFAA joined the American Council on Education (ACE) and six other associations to urge the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to immediately issue the final version of student health insurance coverage regulations or delayed the regulations until the 2013-14 academic year.
In a letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the associations point out that schools that provide health insurance coverage to their students are already in negotiations over the cost and coverage of their plans for 2012-13. In addition, schools that include health insurance fees in their costs of attendance need information about the insurance fee for financial aid packaging purposes.
"Schools can, of course, estimate the amount required for health insurance, but doing so is likely to hurt the student," the letter states. "If schools find that they have underestimated the cost after committing all of their aid, students will be forced to find the additional funds from other sources. Schools that overestimate would have to revise aid packages, and possibly students would be required to repay the additional funds they received. From the perspective of both schools and students, neither result is desirable."
Proposed rules for Student Health Insurance Coverage (SHIC) were published by HHS in the Federal Register on February 11, 2011, with comments due by April 12, 2011. Unlike the Department of Education, HHS is not subject to a master calendar that requires publication of rules by a certain date in order to affect an upcoming award year. As a result, late-arriving final rules can disrupt the aid cycle by changing one of the costs that factor into packaging at some schools.

Home > Eat Well > Nutrition Facts Label
Deciphering the Nutrition Facts Label found on foods can be tough. What does it all mean? Understanding what's behind some of the more common label names and numbers can save you time, money and maybe a few calories on your next trip to the grocery store.
All the label information is based on one serving.
If you eat one serving, everything you need is on the label.If you eat two servings, double the information.If you eat half of a serving, cut the information in half.
Total calories and total calories from fat are per serving, so make sure you determine the servings per packages before diving in.
Look beyond the Total Fat number and dig into the details. Healthier foods have small amounts of saturated fat and trans fat and higher amounts of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat.
Read the fine print under the Total Carbohydrate number, which refers to the amount of starch, sugar, sugar alcohols and fiber in one serving. High fiber foods, which are good for you, have at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.
Too much sodium can cause high blood pressure. The recommended daily allowance for an average adult is 2,300 milligrams. Low sodium foods have 140 milligrams or less. Even foods deemed good-for-you, such as low-fat cottage cheese, can have high sodium levels. (A one-cup serving of cottage cheese can have almost 1,000 mg of sodium!)

Hull Vane will present two recent projects at Euronaval
From 23-26 October, Euronaval 2018 will take place in Paris le Bourget, France. This leading international trade show for maritime security, safety and naval defense is held every two years and is considered the 'world meeting of naval technologies for the future'. Hull Vane will exhibit at Euronaval for the second time, make sure you don't miss our innovation.
How can we serve your business?
The Hull Vane® is a proven solution to reduce the fuel consumption of naval ships by 10 to 25% and to improve their seakeeping. It also leads to a significant improvement of the comfort, safety and operability in waves of OPVs, corvettes and frigates. Because the propulsion power, the propeller loading and the stern wave are reduced, there is also a positive influence on the ship's visual and acoustic signature. And when sailing in waves, helicopter and drone operations are made safer by the reduction of the vertical accelerations and sideways movements of the helo-deck.
This year we will present two projects that we delivered in the past year: a midlife upgrade with a Hull Vane® on the 52m Offshore Patrol Vessel Thémis of the French Affaires Maritimes, and the integration of a Hull Vane® on the newbuild 25m harbour patrol vessel RPA-8 for the Port of Rotterdam. We will showcase a scale model of both vessels including the Hull Vane®, and show a video that shows the whole retrofit process and the results of the sea trials and model tests: 18 to 27% lower fuel consumption on Thémis and 22 to 29% lower fuel consumption on RPA-8. In both cases, the result is also very visible in the reduced stern wave and wake turbulence.
Find out how the Hull Vane® improves naval capabilities such as top speed, range and seakeeping while reducing lifecycle costs and environmental impact? Ask us how this can help shipyards to win public tenders?
We invite you to come and meet our team: Sales Director Bruno Bouckaert, Managing Director Niels Moerke, Project manager Tijmen Maas Geesteranus and PR and Marketing manager Minka Zeilstra.
Hull Vane will be present at booth I110!
If you would like to receive a free dayticket (only for professional visitors), please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com on the attention of Minka Zeilstra.

Even though I grew up on Long Island in Port Washington for almost all of my young adult life, I feel very proud of the fact that I was actually born in Manhattan. I was very fortunate to go to a terrific public high school, where I found myself particularly interested in music, history, and English classes. I also became actively involved with our school's jazz band, marching band, choir, chamber choir, Lincoln-Douglas debates, and the tennis team.
When I first began my studies at Hamilton College I planned to become a history major. My plans were changed after my first week in my Introduction to Philosophy course. Every week our professor asked us to write a two-page paper discussing a particular controversial issue, such as whether the government ought to collect taxes, whether euthanasia ought to be permitted, and other challenging questions. As this was a two-page assignment, we were required to focus on one side of the issue for the first page, and adopt the opposite point of view for the second. It was this weekly assignment that made me decide to become a Philosophy major. I knew that any discipline that encourages people to approach problems by embracing different perspectives was something that I wanted to be a part of.
During the fall semester of my junior year I studied abroad in Stirling, Scotland. The rocky outcroppings and quaint towns in Scotland provided a fantastic landscape for continuing my philosophical studies, provided it wasn't raining. Surprisingly the weather in Scotland felt even colder and darker than Central New York. Despite the fact that we had no sunlight after 4 pm, my time in Scotland helped me to develop a love of traveling, and I have been very fortunate to have made several trips backpacking around the United and Continental Europe.
After my studies at Hamilton I decided that I wanted to develop a career working for social justice. I became a community organizer in Cassel, which is a small low-income community on Long Island. In New Cassel I used my skills as a group facilitator and my
knowledge of the Spanish language to encourage and to motivate residents to work for positive change in their community. Later, as Program Associate for Youth and Community Development at Lawyers Alliance for New York, I collaborated with school leaders and administrators from New York City schools, and with senior staff at city nonprofit organizations. My work in the not-for-profit sector confirmed that my ideal career would allow me to share my knowledge of a subject that I loved as a way to empower people to improve their own lives. I realized that the best way for me to use my skills and passions was to become a teacher of English.
After deciding to teach English, I went to Teachers College, Columbia University to receive my Master's degree. Before beginning my teaching at Columbia Secondary School I completed the second phase of student teaching at Brooklyn Technical High School, where I designed and taught an American Literature curriculum to sophomores. During the prior semester I student-taught seventh grade Humanities classes at the Urban Assembly Academy for Arts and Letters in Brooklyn and worked as a coach for young writers. Now that I have completed my student teaching I am so very excited to work with such bright, curious minds at Columbia Secondary School.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla was released theatrically in Japan on March 21, 1974. The film received a limited release in the United States in 1977 by Cinema Shares, under the title Godzilla vs. the Bionic Monster. The film was also marketed under the title Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster.
Strange events are taking place in Okinawa. An Azumi priestess has a terrifying vision of a city being destroyed by a giant monster. A type of metal not found on earth is discovered in a cave by a spelunker, Masahiko Shimizu, who takes it to Professor Miyajima for examination. An excavation led by Masahiko's brother Keisuke accidentally uncovers a chamber filled with ancient artifacts and a mural bearing an ominous prophecy: "When a black mountain appears above the clouds, a huge monster will arise and try to destroy the world; but then, when the red moon sets and the sun rises in the west, two more shall appear to save humanity." Keisuke is joined by archaeologist Saeko Kaneshiro, who translates the prophecy and takes one of the artefacts, bearing the likeness of the legendary monster King Caesar, to study. Two men stalk them, one who speaks to them and claims to be a reporter interested in the story, the other of whom attempts to steal the statue from them but fails and flees.
Before long, the first sign appears in the form of a black cloud that looks like a mountain. Godzilla (or so it seems) emerges from Mount Fuji and begins a destructive rampage, despite the fact that it has become tolerant of humans within the last few years. Anguirus, usually Godzilla's ally, confronts it only to be nearly killed and forced to retreat, but not before inflicting a wound that exposes something shiny and metallic beneath Godzilla's skin. Keisuke arrives shortly after to make sure that his brother and the professor are out of harm's way and discovers another sample of the strange metal. Godzilla's rampage continues, at a refinery, until another Godzilla emerges and begins to battle it. During the fight, the challenger is revealed to be the true Godzilla, while the other turns out to be Mechagodzilla, a massive robot armed with advanced weaponry in pseudo disguise as Godzilla. After MechaGodzilla's disguise is intentionally burnt off, the battle resumes. The real Godzilla is severely wounded but inflicts some damage on the machine; both monsters retreat hastily. Miyajima hypothesizes, based on MechaGodzilla's advanced technology and composition of unearthly metals, that the robot is an alien super weapon.
Keisuke and Saeko take the statue of King Caesar back to the temple by cruise ship, but are confronted by the thief once again. During the fight, the stranger's head is wounded and the skin on half of his face melts away to reveal an apelike visage. The intruder attempts to kill Keisuke and nearly succeeds, but a bullet from an unseen gunman kills him and propels him overboard. Keisuke and Saeko catch a brief glimpse of the "reporter" once again. Meanwhile, Godzilla arrives on Monster Island during a thunderstorm and is struck by lightning multiple times, seemingly reinvigorated.
Masahiko, Miyajima and his daughter Ikuko go to explore the cave where the metal was first found and are captured by the apelike aliens of the Third Planet from the Black Hole, who plan to use MechaGodzilla to conquer Earth. Their leader, Kuronuma, forces Miyajima to repair the robot. While Saeko checks into a hotel and guards the statue, Keisuke goes to meet his brother at the caves and instead encounters the reporter, who explains that his name is Nanbara and he is actually an Interpol agent who has been tracking the aliens and believed Keisuke to be connected to them. Nanbara and Keisuke infiltrate the alien base and free the prisoners. The team then splits up, with Miyajima, Nanbara, and Masahiko returning to the alien base and deliberately getting recaptured by Kuronuma, while Keisuke and Ikuko pick up Saeko and the statue from the hotel.
In the early hours of the morning, a lunar eclipse results in a red moon and a mirage creates the illusion of the sun rising in the west. The team realizes that the time has come to awaken King Caesar. They meet with the Azumi priestess and her grandfather, and place the statue on a platform in the temple, revealing the lion like monster's resting place. However, just then, Kuronuma dispatches MechaGodzilla. The priestess sings a hymn that awakens King Caesar, and Godzilla appears shortly afterwards. King Caesar and Godzilla fight together, but they are no match for MechaGodzilla's vast array of weapons. Eventually, Godzilla uses the electricity stored in its body from the lightning to create a magnetic field that ensnares the robot, then removes its head, shutting off its controls. While the mortified aliens are distracted, Nanbara and the others free themselves, kill their captors, and sabotage the base, fleeing as it burns and collapses on itself. With the enemy defeated, Godzilla heads out to sea and King Caesar returns to its resting place while the heroes rejoice.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla was released in Japan on March 21, 1974 where it was distributed by Toho.[1] The film made slightly more money than Godzilla Vs. Megalon, but was still not making as big as a box office profit as the other films in the Godzilla series had in the early 1960s.[5] The film was followed up with a direct sequel in 1975 titled Terror of Mechagodzilla.[6]
The film was released in the United States in March 1977.[1] It was released by Cinema Shares in the United States under the title Godzilla vs. the Bionic Monster where the film was shown predominantly at Saturday "kiddie" matinees.[7] The Cinema Shares theatrical version deleted four minutes of credits, profanity and blood-letting from the film.[8] Universal Television threatened to sue Cinema Shares over the use of the name "Bionic" in the films title as they owned the rights to The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman series.[7] The film title was quickly changed to Godzilla vs. The Cosmic Monster, which was also used for the 1977 UK theatrical release.[7]
Home mediaEdit
In 1988, New World Video restored the film on video, using a complete and unedited print titled Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.[8] In 2004, TriStar released the film on DVD as Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla with both English and Japanese audio included.[9] In 2019, the Japanese version and export English version was included in a Blu-ray box set released by the Criterion Collection, which included all 15 films from the franchise's Shōwa era.[10]
In a contemporary review in the Monthly Film Bulletin, Tony Rayns stated that at this point in the Godzilla series, there was no way the film "could have been anything other than formulary, but it could clearly have been much less shambling than it is."[11] Rayns noted that Shinichi Sekizawa's story was "for once, quite ambitious" while noting that the film's "'mythic' elements are never coherent or impressive enough to match the array of alien technology, and the script seems to forget all about fulfilling its own prophecies as it hurries towards the regulation free-style wrestling climax."[11]
From retrospective reviews, Stuart Galbraith IV discussed the film in his book on Japanese genre films.[5] Galbraith described the film as a "complete mess", finding that the aliens in the film were a rip off of Planet of the Apes and that the film had poor effects work and "equally poor direction of Jun Fukuda."[7] Galbraith opined that the film was "an improvement over Godzilla vs. Megalon, but that's not saying much."[5] Among the positive attributes, Galbraith noted that Masaru Sato's score was interesting and series veterans Akihiko Hirata, Hiroshi Koizumi and Kenji Sahara "make welcome appearances."[7] In Phil Hardy's book Science Fiction (1984), a review stated that "the final fight is suitably impressive although the tongue-in-cheek reference to Leone slows the action down too much."[12]

BEEVILLE, Texas – No. 13 Blinn College volleyball was able to cap a perfect 3-0 weekend by beating conference foe Coastal Bend College 3-1 and non-conference Cisco College 3-0 Saturday afternoon in Beeville.
With the pair of victories, the Buccaneers improved to 3-0 in Region XIV play and 12-6 overall. Blinn is now riding a five-game winning streak.
Blinn 3 – Coastal Bend 1
Blinn started out the match fast and took the first set but struggled in the second to split the first two sets. The Buccaneers rebounded and claimed the last two sets for the 3-1 victory by the score 25-19, 22-25, 25-10 and 25-19.
Paola Marie Salas Adorno led Blinn with 18 kills and 14 digs while adding two aces. Alexis Kingston added 17 kills and hit for a .333 percentage. Kylee Kaaihue had a solid game dishing out 54 assists in the win.
The first set started out strong for Blinn in a 25-19 win but the second set was a different story as the Buccaneers dug themselves a little hole. At one point, Blinn trailed by seven points but was able to make a little comeback to make the second set presentable but Coastal Bend still took the second 25-22.
The third and fourth sets both belonged to Blinn as the Buccaneers won the third handily 25-10 and then polished off the match with a 25-19 victory to move to 3-0 in conference.
"We just took good care of the ball and made great passes," said Kalie Mader, Blinn head coach. "All of our hitters were in the positive for us against Coastal Bend."
Blinn 3 – Cisco 0
Even though Blinn won in a sweep it didn't come easily the entire match as Cisco had Blinn trailing by 11 points in the second set but the Buccaneers fought back for the sweep by the score 25-19, 25-23 and 25-13.
Adorno again led Blinn in kills with 11 and added 11 digs. Ashleigh Traylor also got in double digits with 10 kills and hit for a .412 hitting percentage. Shayla Eugene led the Buccaneers with 15 digs and Kaaihue handed out 31 assists.
The first set went pretty smoothly in taking it 25-19 but the second set started out rough. At one point, Cisco led by 11 points but the Buccaneers found a way to fight back and claim the second set 25-23. Riding the momentum, Blinn won easily in the third 25-13 to secure the sweep.
Blinn will continue in Region XIV when the Buccaneers will play host to San Jacinto College-Central at Brenham High School Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 6 p.m.
Blinn has competed in intercollegiate athletics since 1903 and captured 34 NJCAA national championships since 1987. For more information, visit www.buccaneersports.com.

Stock Market is a place where the stock trading happens. A place where lots of money is usually invested in buying stocks and a lot of money is earned while selling shares. Some people complements profit, and some people bear losses. But still, for an investor, it's a usual game. And games there are certain rules and regulations to become followed then only you may not make strategies and programs and play the game based on it and best payday loans in maryland win this. For a new trader, the very first thing to know about is where to invest, how you can invest, how much to invest plus win the game of purchase.
1) Make sure they have a website that is certainly easy to navigate, and you can shift from screen to display quickly. There are going to be when you are looking at more than one chart, awaiting the right price to buy or perhaps sell a stock. You want the internet pages to load quickly.
One particular factor that I can teach a person is the best way to manage their account. Make sure which you just have a handful of stock trades inside your accounts at any given time. Some stock investors can have thirty stock trades at whenever and be capable of managing their online stock trading account high. If that's the case then which is alright. For most traders, this is incorrect due to the fact they may be continuously taking a look at the position. I best car title loans in california would suggest for you to exercise on a virtual account and find out how many you're able to manage at any time. This can give you a lot more understanding plus a better understanding through the online stock trading platform.
Generally, most of the loan companies show interest in sanctioning financial loans for the persons, who are deprived of bad credit history. Because they are going to repay the loan quantity in right time. Yet to help the people, who have poor credit history and were unable to end up of their critical financial circumstances, some of the banks or cash lenders offer bad credit payday loan financial loans.
Individuals benefit from payday loans only when these are availed over short durations. Even flipping or moving over of payday loans is not really advisable. By extending the particular natural or prescribed period of payday loans, they may be known as cheap long term payday loans, however, they cease to be cheap any longer.Swing investors buy stocks in heavily exchanged companies with a long background, this allows them to enter plus exit a stock a short as they make the decision. Entries plus exits on less substantially traded stocks can become hard especially if the stock opens you and you need to exit rapidly. Traders will also use the traditional data to chart their particular entry and exit points in an attempt to create their trades more successful on the consistent basis. As a share begins to trend upward, the individual swing trader will make their particular purchase and sell when the stock starts to head back down.
H) In case your research and conclusion are very well checked and properly examined, you can earn money in minutes. Allow us to take an example here. Assume you are aware of the possibility of cost rise of the stock, you can purchase it immediately at a reduced rate and sell it right now its price increases.
Since it is tied to credit agreements among each player, when it comes to real online brokers, the broker's cost-effectiveness will depend on his or her relationship along with banks. And how much quantity the broker does with these.
It is natural to like profits and detest losses. Pride and self-confidence distort the clear considering process that every investor should possess. People just will not repurchase anything at an increased price that they sold this previously. Only logic, cause, information, and experience will help avoid failure.
There is a wealth associated with other Forex strategies you can use to help you make a profit. The best of them, nevertheless, involves looking into a software investing system, like Forex Autopilot.

Hello everyone and happy last day of 2013! I was going to have this post come out tomorrow, but I decided to post a day early :) I am super excited to go out for New Years tonight. Now, I'm happy to have any reason to dress up and go out, but this New Years feels a little different.
14 years ago, the number 14 became my lucky number (my online name is LittleMonsterx14 for a reason!). When I turned 14, my mom told me that it would be my lucky year. We are about to enter the year 2014, and I can just feel that its going to be something special. I don't know why, or what will happen, but the year '14 is going to be a special one. I am so excited to see what the year brings, and to fully enjoy all the things the number 14 will bring me!

Look Book: Sweater Weather
I know you have all had a nail polish lemming, but for 2 years I also had a sweater lemming. How hard is it to find a beige, knit, pullover sweater? Well, surprising pretty hard. I spent hours searching online, and going in and out of stores looking for the perfect beige sweater, but I just couldn't seem to find it. Over the past few months, I have been in and out of Khols stores, and while I found lots of new jeans, dress clothes, and even pumpkin towels to match my kitchen, I could never find the right sweater. Some were white, others had an open front, some were too thin, all failed my requirements. However, the fashion Gods smiled upon me on my last shopping trip, and there it was, my perfect beige sweater...not in my size! I immediately ordered it from the Khols online kiosk, and a week later it was finally all mine!

Winter Pine
The weather just wont seem to make up its mind. Last week we had some terrible snow storms, and this week its been in the 60's! I hate going out in the snow. Its cold, wet, slippery, and hard to drive in, but you have to admit its beautiful! I just love how trees look covered in snow, how beautiful it is when icicles hang off roofs, and when small snowflakes flutter down to the ground looking like glitter in the air. I had some pretty bad nail breaks over the weekend, but last week when my nails were long, and the snow was falling, I got some manicure inspiration.

300th Post & 2 Year Blogaversary GIVEAWAY!!!
HELLO EVERYONE! Today I have a super duper awesomely special post. You guys might remember that my 2 year blogaversary happened last month.

Make Up Looks: Blue and Smokey
My friends can vouch for me that I always match my makeup to my outfits. Now, I know you are "supposed" to wear makeup that flatters your features, or makes your eyes pop, but when it comes to self expression, I was never one to do what I'm "supposed" to do. So when I wore this black and blue spacey outfit, I knew I needed some makeup to match.

Look Book: Space Case
I was having a minor fashion crisis during the last couple of weeks, as you could probably tell by my lack of outfit posts. The transition from fall to winter left me super confused with what to wear. Now that there's lots of snow on the ground, there is no question that winter is here. To me, winter is sweater season. I was waiting until all the leaves were officially gone to break out the sweaters, and now my brain is overflowing with outfit ideas featuring sweaters. It helps that I just bought two new sweaters, which I'll feature in some outfits coming up.
While I was home for Thanksgiving, my two best friends gave me the belated birthday gifts that had for me. That included an awesome knit galaxy scarf from my friend Avra, that I just love! Sweater + scarf = perfect winter outfit, that's the kind of math I love.

Mosaic Half Moons
Have you ever wanted to do you nails but just couldn't decide what to do? Look who I'm talking to, I'm sure that's a common occurrence. When I'm lacking inspiration, I usually turn to Pinterest, or my collection of my favorite looks from my favorite bloggers. Among the clothes, nails polish, bags, and food that I got from my mom for Chanukkah this year, she also got me a book of nail art ideas. I decided to take my nails to the page and see what I could create from the book. I opted for a look called Stained Glass nails, changed it just a little, and turn it into a colorful mosaic tile look.

Winter Nights
Good morning and happy Saturday! A while ago I won the Autumn Nights China Glaze set in a give away, and I finally got around to trying it out, in the last few weeks of fall. Its starting to get cold and wintery around here, but technically its still fall, and I'll hold onto to the leaves, crisp weather, and pumpkins for as long as I can. Soon it will turn dark and snowy, and then move to the even worse season of spring. I really loved the dark and shimmery colors in the set, and I wanted to wear them together. I picked a few that I thought would look the best together and went with it!

Look Book: Favorite Fall Outfit
As the weather gets colder, and the first snow falls, its easy to see that fall is coming to an end (sniff sniff) and winter is beginning. I definitely feel that this fall sped too fast. With some stressful times around here, plus crazy weather, I felt that I couldn't fully enjoy my fall. Fall was not all lost, however, I still got to enjoy some fun times. While I wore a number of different outfits this fall, there was one that I kept going back to when I couldn't decide what else to wear. This was easily my favorite outfit this fall. And since I wore it so much, I wore it when Ben and I visited his house a few weeks ago, which meant another fun photo shoot.

Whilst the majority of the WEC field opted to join Toyota at it's open private test at the Nurburgring, Nissan have successfully carried out a two day program in Austin where they had the track to themselves.
Nissan, who returned to the sport last time out at Le Mans, drew their test at the Circuit of America's to a close with a reported best lap time of a 1:59 for their efforts, and having tested several new components.
Unfortunately however, hopes don't seem to have improved after Nissan's worrying Le Mans showing as the GT-R LM Nismo, again running without it's Energy Recovery System as it did at Le Mans, could only muster a 1:59 best lap time, putting Nissan around 10 seconds off last years pole time set by Toyota and five of the time set by Rebellion Racing in the LMP1-L category.
The only positive news from the test seems to be that the cars refined suspension and FRIC systems allowed Harry Tincknell and Olivier Pla to ride the curbs with little worry; unlike at Le Mans where all nine Nissan drivers were advised to avoid the curbs at all cost.
Nissan will rejoin the rest of the WEC field for the 6 Hours of the Nurburgring at the end of the month.

November 1, 3:30-5:00
Prof. Rajend Mesthrie, University of Cape Town, South Africa
"Gender and substrate erasure amongst young, black, middle-class South African English speakers"
Abstract: This paper analyses the acquisition of a prestige variety of English in post-apartheid South Africa. New economic opportunities have seen the rapid growth of a black middle-class, with its children study at elite schools previously reserved for whites. The paper documents the differences amongst younger black peoples' English from the L2 of their parents' generation, using as variables schwa as a full vowel, and neutralizations of vowel length. The main acoustic analysis is of schwa in initial, final, and medial positions (where there are 5 further subtypes). The first difference concerns social class, consequent upon a bifurcation of young Black people according to type of schooling (elite or not). The second difference is that there is a consistent gender effect among young people, in contrast to the previous generation's English. The finding that young women are in the lead in acquiring the prestige variety is triangulated with supporting evidence.
