Every year, Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers runs a contest for unpublished writers. It's called Colorado Gold and the winners are announced during the annual conference (coming up this weekend, Sept. 6 through 9). There are five categories in the contest and, for each of the categories there are five finalists and, as a result, 25 finalists in all.
This year, savvy contest watchers will notice one name that pops up three times: Joy Meredith.
Joy has two finalists in the women's fiction category and one in mainstream. The titles? Something Out of Nothing. That's the mainstream entry. And Old Cravings and, finally, McSham and the Whim Wham—those are the entries in Women's Fiction.
But neat categories are not exactly Joy Meredith's cup of tea, as you will hear. She is eager to turn genres on their head and look for twists and unusual approaches.
Joy Meredith loves writing books about ordinary people in the
midst of extraordinary circumstances. She believes allowing
different foods to touch on her plate is a big no-no, but she's
fearless when it comes to mixing genres, with romance at the heart
of all her stories. She lives outside Denver with her English
husband, whom she married for his James Bond accent, and their
three amazing children. To reflect her active lifestyle, Joy owns
two pugs. She works as an elementary school librarian helping
children track down books almost exclusively about sharks or
princesses. Or shark princesses. In her free time, she likes
reading (duh), printing off healthy recipes she has no
intention of cooking, and playing nerdy German-style board

"I'm still dreaming of going back here. We had an absolutely fabulous time; the space was beautiful, service impeccable and couldn't have asked for anything more.
We stayed in one of the separate houses and it was lovely; everything decorated nicely, well maintained and spacious. The breakfast was the best in Thailand. All of the staff were so kind and helpful. We ate several times in the restaurant and had great food every time.
Honestly, this was the best hotel we stayed at during our trip and we would go back to Pai just to visit again."

The attitude of parents is crucial when it comes to giving financial lessons to children, i.e. how to teach your children to appreciate money. You probably asked yourself at what age should your child get a debit card? The experts answer that the earlier age of the child the better.
You can agree with your child that he will receive money based on completed tasks and obligations, such as keeping the room clean, good grades in school, or mowing the grass.
In this way, children will know how to appreciate money more because they know that it is the result of their hard work.
Money doesn't grow on trees
You need to explain to children that money does not grow on trees or fall from the sky, although it may seem that way to children when they watch you withdraw money from an ATM.
So take them with you when you pay various bills, so they can see the whole process and give them an insight into the amount you need to pay (you can explain, for example, how many chocolates can be bought with that money).
At what age should your child get a Debit Card?
Many studies have shown that children already understand money from the age of 5. That is, they have a concept of what money is.
You must have seen by now in your neighborhoods how little girls knit bracelets, and sell items and cakes and homemade lemonade in front of the building so that they can earn money for their favorite toy or dress.
While the boys help with mowing the lawn, helping the adults as well as cleaning the snow in the winter months.
- Some banks have age restrictions in which a child can have an account, with some at the age of 6, 12, or 13. While with some you can open much earlier, it all depends on which bank you choose.
Children are very innovative and fearless and can learn things very quickly and adapt to their environment. Therefore, it is ideal to start slowly introducing your children to the world of finance step by step, no matter how old they are.
What is a Debit Card for Children?
- Children's debit cards can only be opened by a guardian or parent,
- Look for the bank and mobile application that suits your family
- When you have researched all the banks and found the one that suits you according to your income and possibilities, you are ready for the next step
How to set up an account
- You open a bank account in the name of your child, and you will provide personal information such as first and last name, date, and place of birth.
- When setting up an account, you can set restrictions for children for certain brands and companies.
- You can set up a list of household chores and obligations, and extracurricular and teaching activities, which they must complete on a weekly/monthly basis.
- Awarding prizes as well as penalty points if you do not complete all the tasks that your parents expect from you.
- Through the mobile application, the child can invest, spend, save and donate money.
- Parents have full control over the financial activity of their child at all times.
- Teach children that they must donate part of their money to the needy because not everyone is as lucky as they are.
Best Debit cards for children?
When it comes to the best debit cards, you must also keep in mind that the choice of bank and debit card depends on your income and financial possibilities.
One of the best and most popular is the Busykid Debit Card, which is the first choice of thousands of parents. The prices are affordable, and the banking service, as well as the mobile applications, are perfect for parents and children.
Also one of the better ones is the Copper Debit Card, which does not charge a fee but has an age limit of 13 to 19 years.
Whichever option you choose, you won't make a mistake. What is important is that you are thinking about the future of your children, and they will thank you one day.

One of the greatest advances in modern society is sanitation, but a new study suggests that hygiene itself may contribute to rising rates of depression*. The authors note that : 1) rates of inflammatory diseases like asthma, allergies, multiple sclerosis continue to rise in modern countries, 2) inflammatory diseases and depression tend to occur together, and 3) both inflammatory diseases and depression correlate with elevated levels of inflammatory markers in the blood.
Following this logic, researchers have recently started to look for connections between inflammatory processes and modern societies. Some guessed that reducing childhood illness may have reduced the "natural" activity of the immune system, leading to higher "abnormal" immune activity. However, this research has been disappointing and has failed to show an association between decreased childhood infection and increased autoimmune illness.
Another idea is the "Old Friends" hypothesis**, which suggests that the disruption of human association with ancient microorganisms once present inside and outside the human body has led to increased inflammatory disease. In other words, before modern hygiene and sanitation, humans were constantly surrounded by and colonized by benign microorganisms which "trained" the human immune system. Now that we wash dirt off our food and bodies and clean our water supply, we are no longer exposed to the "Old Friends" and our immune system overreacts due to lack of proper "training". One recent study*** which supports this hypothesis showed that rats given probiotics reversed behaviors and changes in inflammatory markers in a model of stress and depression.
The implications of this work are fascinating and profound. If true, depression may be treatable by taking probiotic supplements or topical treatment. Will public health officials soon tell us to stop washing our food and get out in the dirt?

He is the patron god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence (and thus poetry), messages/communication (including divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery and thieves; he is also the guide of souls to the underworld. Mercury had essentially the same aspects as Hermes, wearing winged shoes (talaria) and a winged hat (petasos), and carrying the caduceus, a herald's staff with two entwined snakes that was Apollo's gift to Hermes. This is a piece I did for the "Ten-by- Fotolia" competition. Learned a lot and was so much fun to do. It did not win, was probably not mainstream enough - even though I thought "girl-with-wing-on-heads" is such a mainstream topic over here that it at least has a chance... However, that was the best piece I could get out of the stock images they´ve given out to use. (At least 3 had to be used) The rest of the used stock is from my own and fractals rendered in Mandelbulb3d. Photoshop, Cintiq, 15 hours.

If you are looking for inspiration to market your business, look to the music industry. They've been doing it forever.
Marketing is all about community building. Musicians are born marketers because they have to show the world who they are. They sell an image image without selling. They just show off who they are and see who likes it. The give first and people come and receive. After a while they people pay like crazy to see what they give. This is content marketing.
Content marketing is a strategy that uses online material to reach, nurture, and convert online customers.
It can be classed as any type of written, visual, or audio material, such as:
- Blog posts
- Lead Magnets
- Menus
- How to Tips
- Case Studies
- Stories
- Whitepapers or eBooks
- Infographics and Memes
- Podcasts
- Social media posts (tweets, Facebook statuses, Pins, etc.)
- Photos or videos
- Online educational courses
- Emails or newsletters
All too often I see businesses put up a website and then consider that they are "done," at least until the website needs an upgrade a year or so down the line. Not only does Google not like static websites, neither do your customers. High-quality content gives potential customers a reason to visit your website and for visitors to become repeat visitors, returning to your site over and over again because you have new information for them to consume.
Content also builds credibility, making you and your site the go to place for information about what you sell. Imagine a pool salesman that is constantly putting out information about how to care for your pool. People begin following his content if they are interested in pools. And when their own pool needs maintenance, who do you think they are going to call? This is true regardless of what you are selling.
But content does more than just give you credibility, it is also what makes you visible to the search engines. Search engines like Google work by reading content on a webpage, determining what it's about, then ranking the results in order from best to worst. Here's the math: you can't make the list if you don't have content for Google to crawl. 51% of all website traffic comes from organic search, leaving 10% from paid ads, 5% from social media, and 34% from direct or other sources. This means that most of the traffic to your website is free and all you have to do is create enough quality content on a regular basis to start capitalizing on this.
That is the reason that I strongly advise against having just a brochure type website that never changes except once a year. If you are going to put up a website, you simply must work it just like any other aspect of your business. Otherwise it's like opening up your store and not telling anyone that you are open. Make your weekly blog the focal point of your website – don't hide it on some obscure page, put your latest posts on your home page where people can read them.
If you are going to put up a website, you simply must work it just like any other aspect of your business. Click To TweetAnd once you start creating regular blog posts, then re-purpose them by posting this content on social media and through your email newsletters. Notice that your website and your blog are the place to start. You want your content to appear first on your website since this is your "home" on the internet and the place that you control. Social media sites are great for engagement, but that is real estate which is owned by (and controlled by) someone else. You want your content to originate on your website, and then you can reference it through other channels.
You want your content to originate on your website, and then you can reference it through other channels. Click To TweetEnd of Year Content Ideas
Here are a couple of ideas to get you started creating content as 2019 draws to a close:
- End of year wrap up – talk about what has happened in your business and your industry during the past year.
- Looking forward – talk about what you expect to see happening in the coming year.
- Winter How-To – Winter officially begins on December 21, 2019. Your customers will have winter projects, and your content marketing may be able to help. Consider creating helpful articles or videos that describe how to complete specific tasks within your area of expertise.
Start planning your content calendar for 2020. I have prepared a 300 page Content Planner to help you layout your content marketing ideas for next year. Grab yours at https://amzn.to/2NnM571. You will find that if you plan out your content at least a month in advance, then sit down and "batch" all of your posts at a single time and simply schedule when you want them to be released that creating content does not have to be so time consuming.
Is it worth it?
Creating high quality content requires committment. The alternatives are to do nothing (an approach that sadly most websites take) or to pay for ads. It's been found that content marketing costs up to 41% less per lead than paid search. The beauty of content marketing is that it's cost-effective. You don't need to invest thousands of dollars into Google Ads campaigns; nor do you need a team of 50 staff to see success from content marketing.
Clare Bittourna explains: "Setting up and running an AdWords campaign can be very time-consuming, and costly. It requires deep expertise, and a lot of monitoring and iterations to get a campaign set up to be successful and effective. On top of that, to target the keywords that you need, you could be looking at $50 per click."
Not only that, but PPC advertising requires constant budget. As soon as your budget runs out, your ads stop—and you're no longer visible to your target audience. Content marketing gets results forever.
Does all this mean that you shouldn't advertise?
Of course not. Advertising can be a quick boost to your traffic. It is ideal for driving people to your free offers (lead magnets) and getting them on your mailing list. It can also be useful for getting people to return to your site after an initial visit (using retargeting ads). And when you have a special, such as during the holiday season, it can be a good way to get new customers to try out sale offerings. so advertising has its place, but here is what I have learned: advertising is always more effective when accompanied by high quality content on your site.
Advertising is always more effective when accompanied by high quality content on your site. Click To TweetMy Plea
Please don't put up a brochure style website and ignore it for months or years claiming that you don't have time to manage it. Your website is your online business and in today's digital world, that is where people are. Stop wondering why no one ever visits your site. Make your website a dynamic part of your business that you tend to on a regular basis. Give your visitors the content they want. Market like a musician.

Who was eliminated from Beauty and the Geek?
Sophie Monk has locked in her pairs on Beauty and the Geek.
While some connections grow stronger, with Beauties and Geeks working together and learning from each other, some pairs will face being sent home.
Catch up on the latest episodes of Beauty and the Geek on 9Now.
Throughout the season challenge winners will score one-on-one dates and losers are at risk of elimination.
Here we take a look back at the couples who have left the show and celebrate the milestones and breakthroughs they achieved in their time on Beauty and the Geek 2021.
Episode 12: Lachlan and Kiera win | Josie and George, Alexander and Eliza runners-up
In the final challenge, the Beauties and Geeks took to the stage to perform a Magic Mike-inspired routine, blowing away the audience that included the Beauties and Geeks who had been eliminated throughout the season.
But it wasn't just the final challenge that would determine the winner. The eliminated Beauties and Geeks voted for the winners of the season, and it was based on their entire experience.
"The couple that wins tonight should be the one that has learnt the most from each other," Sophie said.
"Who, despite their differences, have worked together the best. The couple who has grown the most. The couple who have found a lifelong friendship or a spark. And finally, the couple who have embraced this amazing experience and got the most out of it."
Each of the three pairs pitched why they should win, before the final vote. In the end Lachlan and Kiera had the most votes and won Beauty and the Geek, with Josie and George and Alexander and Eliza finishing as runners-up.
Episode 11: Jess and James, and Aira and Sam
It was the most difficult challenge yet. The Geeks had to go speed dating, while the Beauties had to participate in a Dungeons & Dragons night. The two pairs who performed the best were Lachlan and Kiera and George and Josie, and as a result they were automatically through to the Grand Finale.
But in a big twist, Sophie announced that out of the three teams left, there would be a double elimination. Only one pair out of Sam and Aira, James and Jess and Alexander and Eliza would make it through.
The elimination challenge was called Chain Reaction. Teams were locked and chained back-to-back with 10 padlocks while sitting on rolling platforms. The locks were suspended from the ceiling and numbered 1 to 10, and had to be released in that order. The keys, however, weren't numbered.
The first team to successfully unlock all their locks and place them on their coloured circle before hitting a buzzer won.
It was a frantic challenge and in the end Alexander and Eliza managed to narrowly pull through and take the win.
Sadly, this meant both Jess and James and Sam and Aira were all eliminated.
"I think James and I are a really strong couple and this experience has brought us so close," Jess said.
"Do your best. Smash it. But the main thing is the experience you've taken out of this because everyone is just so beautiful here," Aira said.
Lachlan also revealed he was "extremely lucky" to have Aira as a friend, adding that she's extremely positive and only ever has nice things to say about people.
Episode 10: Ashleigh and Mitchell
The Beauties and Geeks were tasked with performing during half-time of an NRL match and amping up the crowd.
Lachlan impressed and scored the win, which meant he and Kiera were safe from elimination. Ashleigh and Mitchell, along with Eliza and Alexander were the bottom teams and faced being sent home.
In the challenge they had to use large chopsticks and each pair had to build a large tower out of thin tubes. Eliza and Alexander took an early win and despite their tower collapsing, they managed to claw back and take the win. But it meant Ashleigh and Mitchell were eliminated.
"When I first came here I was this person who never thought that he would be worthy until I came across Ashleigh," Mitchell said.
"You've just shown me so much. I've become more confident. I've become more communicative… I couldn't think of any person I would rather have with me on the journey."
Ashleigh and Mitchell developed such a strong friendship on the show and she said it was an "honour" to bring out the best in him.
Episode 9: No one — but Sam and Aira come back
The Beauties and the Geeks were treated to a very welcome reprieve during Episode 9 and no one was sent home.
Instead, a couple was brought back onto the show.
The Beauties and Geeks headed off to a circus-themed mixer where Sophie, who was dressed as the Ringmaster, explained the challenge winners from earlier in the episode had earned themselves a "game-changing superpower."
"You will be the ones to decide, which couple comes back," Sophie explained.
George and Josie were the winners of the challenge and chose to bring back eliminated pair Sam and Aira. The pair were thrilled at the opportunity to see their friends and come back into the running for $100,000.
Episode 8: Aira and Sam
It was a tricky challenge for the contestants with the Geeks required to lead a gym class. For Sam and Aira, the Beauty needed to train Sam, who the had to teach a yoga class.
Sam started the class breathing very heavily into his microphone, which Aira commented was way too close to his mouth, before he struggled his way through the class.
"Sam did not look like he knew what he was doing. Everyone was so confused, including me," Aira explained.
In the end the performance wasn't enough to save him, and the pair went into the elimination challenge alongside Ashleigh and Mitchell.
In the challenge — named Deep Impact — teams had to construct a catapult, before using it to hurl bags into six different nets.
Mitchell and Ashleigh took an early lead, before Sam and Aira caught up. At one point both teams had five out of the six bags in the nuts, but it was Ashleigh and Mitchell who landed the sixth bag first.
They won the challenge, which secured their spot in the competition and sent Sam and Aira home.
"We're feeling a bit upset but we're so happy with the experience we got out of this. It's been crazy, so much fun, and emotional," Aira said.
Sam added that the experience had helped him to come out of his shell.
Episode 7: Leticia and Kyle
The Beauties and Geeks took part in an unusual challenge, where they had to pretend to be a couple in a relationship expecting a child and attend a prenatal class. The Beauties and Geeks had to convince the other expectant parents that they were genuinely pregnant.
In the challenge Aira and Sam and Lachlan and Kiera impressed, which saw them both take the win.
But Leticia and Kyle dropped the ball when Kyle outed the couple as not wanting children.
"For the longest time I didn't want a kid at all. Somehow here we are," he said, as Leticia smiled along while internally screaming.
Eliza and Alexander were also rocky in the challenge, with Alexander making a big mistake by recommending pregnant women to eat raw fish, which is a big no when you're pregnant. Both Leticia and Kyle and Eliza and Alexander ended up in the bottom two, and faced off in the elimination challenge.
Here teams need to take turns placing blocks on an unstable disk which was hanging by a string. The first team to get all 12 blocks on their disk without it toppling won and was safe.
After a strong start, Leticia and Kyle's disk tipped and all of their blocks fell. Eliza and Alexander then took the lead and kept it, which meant they won the challenge and eliminated Leticia and Kyle.
"It was an unbelievable experience. I've learnt I would say delve head first into thing to gain confidence," Kyle said, adding that Leticia has helped him immensely during his time on the show.
"I'm so proud of you Kyle from the first time that we spoke at the Mixer to now I feel like you've grown so much and you've taught me so many things," Leticia said.
Episode 6: Bryanna and Kiran
A wrestling challenge saw the Beauties and Geeks put their bodies on the line for a rumble with genuine professionals.
After their stints in the ring there were two winning couples, and two losing couples. Josie and George and and Mitchell and Ashleigh won, which meant they scored some much-sought after date time.
But the bottom two teams were Eliza and Alexander, and Bryanna and Kiran, which meant they faced elimination.
After Sophie announced they were one of two teams up for elimination, Bryanna broke down into tears. She apologised to Kiran for her part in their challenge failure.
The elimination challenge was game of what Sophie called 'It's all in the hips'. The pairs were be joined by a slinky connected to their waists. Their task was to make a plastic disk travel from one end of the slinky to the other, then fling the disc into a small slot in a nearby container.
Alexander flung the winning disc, earning him and Eliza their spot in the competition, and sent Bryanna and Kiran home.
Episode 5: Jessica and Jackson
In the Today Extra infomercial challenge, the Beauties and the Geeks were put to the test of live TV. The pairs had to try and promote items ranging from foot spas to food processors, with mixed results.
While some excelled, unfortunately Aira and Sam and Jackson and Jessica were the bottom two pairs from the challenge, which meant they were facing elimination.
Sophie explained their elimination challenge. First a trivia question, the answer to which unlocked a box that contained a set of blocks that the contestants had to pile on top of one another.
The Geeks were blindfolded with one arm tied behind their backs while the stacked the blocks on a moving vibrating plate. The Beauties could only guide them by talking to them.
Aira and Sam completed the challenge first, which meant Jessica and Jackson were eliminated from the competition.
Episode 4: Frank and Gabrielle
They may have been the first pair eliminated, but Frank and Gabrielle certainly had a big impact during their short time on the show.
In the Comic-Con Superhero challenge, Gabrielle portrayed a superhero that Frank designed for her — Taylor Gabriel, supermodel detective — while battling her crippling stage fright.

Unfortunately she wasn't able to overcome her fears enough for her to shine in the challenge, which meant she and Frank ended up facing elimination, along with fellow contestants Jessica and Jackson.
The elimination challenge was Ear to Ear, where the pair had to race a ball the was wedged between each of their ears across a number of hurdles until they reached a tables with several holes in it.
The couples then had to work together to slightly blow the ball across the table to the end, all while avoiding the holes and the edges of the course.
Jess and Jackson managed to get their ball across the table first, which meant Gabrielle and Frank were eliminated from the show.

In the US, data breaches are considered a violation of HIPAA patient privacy, and are reported to HHS' Office of Civil Rights (OCR). This stunning total of 21 million breaches 2009 to present are representative of large data breaches (500+ individuals) only–and 54% involved theft, usually a burglar stealing a desktop or laptop. Our last status on this was back in April, and we revisited the informative Privacy Rights Clearinghouse which records data breaches from multiple industries. The largest and most recent healthcare breach involving SSIs and DOBs–the most serious type–involved over 102,000 individuals at Memorial Healthcare System in Florida, and not through theft, but by a dishonest employee misusing patient information. iHealthBeat
And what to do? A comparison of US and UK approaches finds that the US HHS tends to go after only the largest breaches and assesses big financial penalties, but the UK vigorously goes after smaller breaches with frequent and sizable penalties. It is still too early to tell what is the most effective approach. Breach Penalties: Comparing U.S., U.K. (Healthcare Info Security)

The role of zinc (Zn2+), a modulator of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, in regulating long-term synaptic plasticity at hippocampal CA1 synapses is poorly understood. The effects of exogenous application of Zn2+ and of chelation of endogenous Zn2+ were examined on long-term potentiation (LTP) of stimulus-evoked synaptic transmission at Schaffer collateral (SCH) synapses in field CA1 of mouse hippocampal slices using whole-cell patch clamp and field recordings. Low micromolar concentrations of exogenous Zn2+ enhanced the induction of LTP, and this effect required activation of NMDA receptors containing NR2B subunits. Zn2+ elicited a selective increase in NMDA/NR2B fEPSPs, and removal of endogenous Zn2+ with high-affinity Zn2+ chelators robustly reduced the magnitude of stimulus-evoked LTP. Taken together, our data show that Zn2+ at physiological concentrations enhances activation of NMDA receptors containing NR2B subunits, and that this effect enhances the magnitude of LTP.

This thread is getting funnier and funnier.
Next it will show that i have been sat by Jezuz sine 2006.
Now is Death a VVV tribe or not? GG would love to create one and invite every possible member from other tribes that she have tried before. Metaller is in my view a kid who's easy to manipulate or who would do anything for attention. Tell him an idea and explain how great it's, the next day he'll try to make it happen.
I love this thread.
Seems to me that death is a way out for people who are bored and want to play or do not wish to join their enemies or dumb allies after their alliance fell apart.
Good luck to death by the way.
If GG sits metaller or seven or whatever or whoever then that is her business, as long as no-one finds out or cares then there is no problem.
After all, Who doesn't want to be sat by GG?
And if people see a problem in the attacks and mails coming all together then you can honour the name of this game, come with decent proof, or just keep on the background instead of going public.
Jezuz doesn't understand that im cooler than he is.

The on the web casino program has developed enormously in the previous ten years or so that it has been in existence – to a stage exactly where it is nearly surpassing the brick and mortar on line casino system of the fore. Without a doubt, although hard stats are challenging to arrive by, chances are that at this point in time, there are far more regular casino players who play on on-line casinos than there are taking part in in the standard brick and mortar casinos. Comparing in phrases of actively playing volumes (amounts of money deposited and winnings earned), on-line casinos are also probably to get over brick and mortar casinos palms down.
Now a single of the best attractions that have drawn so several men and women into on the web casinos is the bonuses they provide.
The way the online casino bonuses operate is this kind of that for every single amount of 'playing money' cash 1 deposits into the on-line on line casino, the on line casino -or the 'house' as the casino is identified in these circles – tops up with a particular quantity. 카지노사이트 , a man or woman who deposits $100 into the casino, for occasion, may possibly find the 'house' topping their $one hundred deposit with another $twenty, so that many thanks to the on the internet on line casino bonuses system, this kind of a particular person receives to play as much as they would have played had they deposited $a hundred and twenty into the on line casino, for actively playing purposes.
On the internet on line casino bonuses can consequently be observed as the on the internet casino's notion of a 'discount on purchase' where for every quantity of 'playing service' a participant buys, they are provided some a lot more of the exact same services, for totally free.
Every on the web on line casino that provides a reward usually does so underneath its possess well considered out technique, so that we finish up with a scenario exactly where 'all on the web casino deposits are not equal.' Indeed, analyzing the various bonuses that on-line casinos provide, we may finish up with a circumstance the place armed with a scoring criteria, we can rank the a variety of on-line on line casino bonuses from the 'mediocre' to the 'ordinary' and onto the greatest on line casino bonuses.
For the most portion, the greatest casino bonuses are inclined to be stated in percentages (like where the 'house' delivers to best up every sum deposited into the casino account with a mounted proportion of it, say five or ten %). Of course, there are some online casinos that condition their bonuses in mounted dollar quantities (like in which for every single $100 deposited, they prime up with $ten), and these also, can switch out to be excellent in some cases.
Most on-line casinos that provide bonuses generally set a restrict to the quantities on to which they pay out the bonuses, so that – for instance, for every $a hundred deposited, the 'house' tops up with 10%, but only up to a optimum of $100. Now with regard to these restrictions, the greatest on line casino bonuses will are inclined to be those that implement to the greatest quantities of funds, so that even if you deposit a huge sum of income, you can nevertheless be in a placement to get pleasure from the reward. The reverse of these, of training course, are the seriously minimal on the internet casino bonuses, which apply only for modest deposits, the place each and every deposit over this sort of and this sort of an amount is not subject to the bonus.

More than 680,000 responses were submitted to a consultation on proposals for a widespread closure of railway station ticket offices, Transport Focus and London TravelWatch have said.
Concerns were raised by the public and "stakeholders" around the impact on accessibility, safety and security, issues with ticket machines and how stations will be staffed in future, according to the watchdogs.
Transport Focus and London TravelWatch will analyse the proposals and consultation responses before responding to train operators by the end of October.

If the watchdogs object to plans to close certain stations, the operators can refer their proposals to Transport Secretary Mark Harper for a final decision.
Operators are bidding to shut nearly all station ticket offices in England under Government pressures to cut costs following the drop in revenue caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The plan has sparked fierce criticism from opposition politicians, trade unions, disability groups and public transport organisations.
Hundreds of people gathered outside Downing Street at a demonstration organised by the Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union last week.
Transport Focus chief executive Anthony Smith said: "I am grateful to all who have taken the time to contribute to the consultation, and their views will form a vital part of the process as we move towards our response.
"With more than half a million responses received, we'll review them and the train company proposals to assess whether or not they will improve the quality of service for passengers according to our criteria."
The watchdogs had previously said they will assess proposals for ticket office closures based on whether they set how passengers' expectations will be met on issues such as being able to buy the correct ticket, receiving assistance in a "timely and reliable manner" and safety.

Five-star freshman Nico Iamaleava 'continuing to grow' during Tennessee spring practice
Nico Iamaleava was the headliner in Tennessee football's 2023 signing class. The five-star quarterback from California and, what's more, the No. 1 overall player in the class.
Still, Josh Heupel isn't in a rush to put his prized freshman on any kind of timeline. He's watching him develop as spring practices continues for the Vols, just like any other freshman.
"Continuing to grow," Heupel said Thursday after Tennessee's second spring scrimmage at Neyland Stadium. "A long ways from being where we need him to (be), but that's understandable."
The 6-foot-6, 205-pound Iamaleava, out of Warren High School in Long Beach, Calif., has been under a spotlight since he committed to Tennessee in March 2022. He signed with the Vols in December and went through bowl practices before Tennessee's 31-14 win over Clemson in the Orange Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.
Josh Heupel 'really happy' with Nico Iamaleava's performance in spring practice
Now he's two weeks into his first spring camp with the Vols, working alongside redshirt senior Joe Milton III as Tennessee moves on from the Hendon Hooker era.
"Where he's at, this part of spring ball," Heupel said, "really happy with what he's done — his work ethic, attention to detail, ability to rebound and how intentional he is in the way that he works. He's continues to get better every time he gets on the field, which is what you want to see from your young guys."
Heupel described the Tennessee quarterbacks as playing "really well" in the second scrimmage. The Vols are off for Easter weekend, will have a team meeting Sunday night and will start the final week of spring practice on Monday, leading up to the Orange & White Game next Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
Up Next: Orange & White Game, April 15, 2:30 p.m. ET, Neyland Stadium
"We put them in some situations, game management, four-minute situation at the end of the game," Heupel said of his quarterback in Thursday's scrimmage. "There are a lot of things that we can learn in that. We've hit that the first two scrimmages.
"I think there are some things we can get better at in that. Taking care of the football, being smart decision makers, handling communication, handling pace. Everybody has done a really nice job."
Milton took over for Hooker at Vanderbilt in the regular-season finale in November, a week after Hooker tore his ACL in the loss at South Carolina. Milton led the Vols to a 56-0 win at Vandy, throwing for 147 yards and a touchdown, and then had 251 yards passing and three touchdowns in the win over Clemson in the Orange Bowl.
"I think he's got really good command of what we're doing," Heupel said of Milton. "At the line of scrimmage, out on the perimeter, his eyes being in the right place to identify his keys and take him to the next progression. That's in the run game, that's in the pass game too."

Requiem for Choir and Orchestra
Commissioned by a consortium of 8 choirs, Michael John Trotta's Requiem engenders grace, hope, and solace for everyone who has experienced loss in their lives. This ten-movement work is grounded in tradition and informed modern sensibilities that are equally at home in the concert hall and worship space. Two Gregorian Chant motives act as the unifying material for this work that poignantly explores a wide palette of emotions surrounding love and loss. In addition to the traditional Requiem text, Trotta sets Rev. 21:4 "and God will wipe away every tear..." and Cor. 15:55 "O death, where is your victory?" The work can be performed in Latin OR English, is 28-40 minutes (depending on optional solo and a cappella movements , has optional soprano and mezzo duet and bass solo, and is scored for either chamber or full orchestra.


text: Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said in a press conference in Calgary on Feb. 17 that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had divided Canadians with his speech and actions against the Freedom Convoy. This was despite Justice Paul Rouleau's conclusion that the use of the Emergencies Act to clear convoy protests was justifiable. Poilievre accused the governing Liberals of using division tactics rather than focusing on important national issues. He referenced comments by Liberal MP Joël Lightbound who said on Feb. 8, 2022 that his government had made a decision to use pandemic policy "to wedge, to divide" at the time of the 2021 election. Former Liberal Finance Minister Bill Morneau had also said in January that vaccine mandates shouldn't have been used as a political wedge. Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland had commented in April that the pandemic was a "political opportunity". Poilievre said this politicization led a lot of people to become "helpless and so desperate" that they took part in the protests in Ottawa in January and February of 2022. In response to a CBC reporter asking if he accepted Justice Rouleau's findings and if he regretted "endorsing the Freedom Convoy", Poilievre repeated his criticism of CBC's President and CEO, Catherine Taid. Prime Minister Trudeau said at his press conference on Feb. 17 that the use of the Emergencies Act to clear convoy protests was a "last resort", while noting that the government had met the very high threshold to use the act. He said that the Emergencies Act provided them with the tools to safely bring the illegal blockades and occupations to an end.

Rumor: Next Major Tomb Raider in the Works, Christmas 2011 Release Planned [Updated]
I've lost excitement for the Tomb Raider series long ago. I thought the first one was cool and the second one was ok. My big thing was that it used real references to actual civilizations and lost places referenced in history. The recent batch of Tomb Raider games just did its own thing and turned into a horrible monster. Maybe the game needs a reboot and a look at what made the game cool in the first place. This lost on an island in Japan and focus on survival sounds like crap.
Did either of you actually play Legend and Underworld? If so, how can you say that they didn't include references to actual civilisations, when the entire point of the games is discovering the underlying truths behind a series of related myths and legends?
Sure, go ahead and say you're improving the pro-feminist movement by refusing to play a series of well-designed games with great art, music, and puzzles, just because the protagonist happens to be well-endowed, but it rings a ltitle hollow when the titles put emphasis on Lara as a person. Heck, with the rate male characters die, and the utter domination of antagonist roles by women as well as Lara's absurd qualifications, it reads a heck of a lot more like Charmed than it does like a 1950s gender roles propaganda piece.-
Okay, my bad. I think I'm on edge after reading an RPS comments thread on Crysis 2, and getting into Underrated Franchise Mode.
Still, though, the story's considerably improved since earlier iterations. I had no idea what was going on in TR2 and 3 even at the beginning. Heck, if I recall, they didn't even have an intro blurb.

Following our interview with horror auteur Adam Robitel, ahead of his return to the big screen with the hotly anticipated sequel, ESCAPE ROOM: TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS, SCREAM also got the chance to pick the brains of one of the returning cast members who unwittingly gets caught up in yet another of Minos' deadly schemes.
Written by Will Honley, Maria Melnik, Daniel Tuch and Oren Uziel and starring both leads from the first film, Taylor Russell (Bones & All, "Lost in Space") and Logan Miller (Prey, We Summon the Darkness), as well as newcomers to the franchise, Indya Moore ("Pose"), Holland Roden (Follow Me, "Teen Wolf"), Thomas Cocquerel (Billionaire Boys Club) and Carlito Olivero (Bad Samaritan, "Step Up: High Water"), this second instalment follows six people who unwittingly find themselves trapped in yet another series of escape rooms. As they solve the puzzles, they gradually uncover what they all have in common to survive…and discover they've all played the game before.
Get ready for today's release of Escape Room: Tournament of Champions as we sit down with Miller to find out what convinced him to sign on for a second bout and just how torturous certain moments on set were, given the fact that much of what we see on the screen took place on tailor-made sets rather than in front of green screens.

At some point in 1996, I sat down to begin writing a draft of my application essays for rabbinical school at the Jewish Theological Seminary. One of the questions asked what the focus of my future rabbinate would be and it didn't take long to formulate an answer that included paying more attention to Jewish college students.
As an active student in the university's Jewish community at the time, I recognized that college students don't often get the attention they should from their synagogues or temples back home. During high school, a lot of congregational funds and professional support are directed to youth groups.

May 12, 2021 (Source) — Granada Gold Mine Inc. (TSXV: GGM) (the "Company" or "Granada") is pleased to announce that Hole GR-20-22 drilled to a depth of 1626 meters on the Big Claim of the Granada Gold Mine property, in Quebec, Canada.
Results are preliminary and full core lengths have not yet been assayed in two holes drilled at the north of the Big Claim. The company encountered unusual facies of altered rock which has been sampled in portions of the drill core. The mineralized portions of the core have been assayed for 56 metals. Additional assays are pending. Initially, portions of drill holes GR-20-20 and GR-20-22 were sampled. The company has received preliminary assay results for GR-20-22. Based on recent assays for intervals sampled, the intervening intervals are being prepared and will be sent for assay to create a complete picture.
Highlights of drill hole GR-20-22 as of today:
- Intercepted 21 distinct mineralized zones.
- Zones range in core length from 177 meters to 2.8 meters.
- Rare Earths and Alkali metals of note identified to date are Caesium (Cs), Rubidium (Rb), Scandium (Sc), Zirconium (Zr), Cerium (Ce), Gallium (Ga), Hafnium (Hf), Neodymium (Nd) and Strontium (Sr). Others pending.
Highlights of Select Drill Core Intercepts:
True widths are unknown at the moment.
Complete analysis of current 21 drill intercepts can be found on the GGM website (REE Interval Table).
Uses and Market Price Ranges of Rare Earths and Alkali Metals
Caesium is used to make special optical glass, as a catalyst promoter, in vacuum tubes and in radiation monitoring equipment. One of its most important uses is in the 'caesium clock' , or atomic clock. (Royal Society of Chemistry) with a price of 68,100 US dollars per kilogram (Mineral Commodity Summaries 2019).
Rubidium's photoemissive properties make it useful for electrical-signal generators in motion-sensor devices, night vision devices, photoelectric cells (solar panels), and photomultiplier tubes. Rubidium is used as an atomic resonance-frequency-reference oscillator for telecommunications network synchronization, playing a vital role in global positioning systems with prices of 15,500 US dollars per kilogram (USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2019).
Scandium is one of the most expensive of all the natural elements. Prices for 99.99% pure scandium (RE: 99% min. | Sc/TREM: 99.99% min.) have fluctuated between US$ 7000 and US$ 20,000 per kilogram over the past decade. Of course, because of the limited amount of material produced globally and the limited market for scandium, there is also a wide range of prices offered for the metal at any given time (strategic-metal.com and phone conversation May 10, 2021). Applications for scandium were not developed until the 1970s, when the positive effects of scandium on aluminium alloys were discovered, and its use in such alloys remains its only major application.
The leading consumers of zirconium metal are the chemical process and nuclear energy industries. (USGS zirconium-hafnium.pdf ) with a price of 37.1 US dollars per kilogram. (Shanghai Metals Market).
Cerium metal is used in ferrocerium lighters for its pyrophoric properties. Cerium-doped YAG phosphor is used in conjunction with blue light-emitting diodes to produce white light in most commercial white LED light sources. Recent prices are 4.71 US dollars per kilogram (Shanghai Metals Market, cerium).
Gallium as an arsenide is used in the manufacture of devices such as microwave frequency integrated circuits, monolithic microwave integrated circuits, infrared light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, solar cells and optical windows with a price of 534.4 US dollars per kilogram (kitco.com strategic-metals).
The leading use of hafnium metal is in superalloys with a price of 1347.4 US dollars per kilogram (kitco.com strategic-metals).
Neodymium is as a component in the alloys used to make high-strength neodymium magnets—powerful permanent magnets. These magnets are widely used in such products as microphones, professional loudspeakers, in-ear headphones, high performance hobby DC electric motors, and computer hard disks, where low magnet mass (or volume) or strong magnetic fields are required. Larger neodymium magnets are used in high-power-versus-weight electric motors (for example in hybrid cars) and generators (for example aircraft and wind turbine electric generators). Price is 118.5 US dollars per kilogram (kitco.com strategic-metals).
Strontium is used in producing ferrite magnets and refining zinc. Modern 'glow-in-the-dark' paints and plastics contain strontium aluminate (Royal Society of Chemistry – Strontium). Recent prices are 6.68 US dollars per kilogram (https://en.institut-seltene-erden.de/current-prices-of-strategic-metals/ ).
Equivalent Range Values of Intercepts
Equivalent Range Intercepts (I), (II), and (III) were calculated without Caesium and Rubidium as no active market for the metals could be identified at present. Inclusion into the Equivalent Range Value of intercepts would present values of 404.8 and 5,273.1 US dollars per tonne for Caesium and Rubidium respectively for Intercept (I). For comparison purposes, in gold equivalents 6.83 and 89.0 g/t over 53 meters respectively.
Equivalent Range Value for Intercept (I) is 80.8 to 93.8 US dollars per tonne.
In gold equivalents 1.36 g/t to 1.58 g/t over 53 meters. Gold 59.24 US dollars per gram (https://www.jmbullion.com/charts/gold-price/).
Equivalent Range Value for Intercept (II) is 110.9 to 228.3 US dollars per tonne.
In gold equivalents 1.87 g/t to 3.85 g/t over 35 meters.
Equivalent Range Value for intercept (III) is 133.6 to 326.0 US dollars per tonne.
In gold equivalents 2.25 g/t to 5.50 g/t over 30 meters.
Ten other rare earths and/or alkali metals are pending for inclusion into Equivalent Range Values.
Currently gold is mined from underground at values down to 2 g/t gold in Ontario, Canada (https://miningdataonline.com/property/1484/Young-Davidson-Mine.aspx#Geology).
Granada Gold Mine target underground gold grade is 4 g/t over a mining width of 1.5 to 2 meters.
Processing and Refining Rare Earths and Alkali Metals
Conventional mining, milling, separations and finishing possible at a single site with a zero discharge. Mountain Pass Mine in California, USA, which is in operation now is producing rare earth metals.
"Granada's rare earth and alkali metal discovery was encountered during our deep drilling program for gold on the defined gold zone that is dipping at 50 degrees to the north towards the renowned Cadillac Break. Our target depth for the gold mineralization extension in the north of the Big Claim is about 2,500 meters," said Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., "The 1.6 kilometer step out along the Cadillac Break could potentially be a massive rare earth and alkali metals mineralized zone yet to be discovered which would greatly impact the value of the property. The company has 5.5 kilometers of east-west strike length to further explore along the Cadillac Break. Drill results to date are exceptionally encouraging."
The company is taking action on characterizing the minerals of these elements. It has sent samples to SGS Minerals in Ontario for advanced mineral analysis under the direction of Tassos Grammatikopoulos, Mineralogist at SGS Lakefield Research
Results to date are from SGS independent laboratories where NQ core samples of hole GR-20-22 were analysed. The company will proceed with sampling of the entire hole to enable disclosure of mineralized lengths associated with grades as well as investigation on the mineralogy as the grades of interest are not confined to one geological unit.
Co-ordinates of the hole have been determined by handheld GPS and will be surveyed in spring.
GR-20-22: 647 624E, 5 339 218N, 291Z, Azimuth 360N, Dip -65 and length 1,626m
The insertion of blanks and standards by the technical team in the program were in line with expected values. The laboratory QA/QC results for these anomalous elements at the laboratory are in line with their expected values thereby allowing the public disclosure of the values.

About Granada Gold Mine Inc.
Granada Gold Mine Inc. continues to develop the Granada Gold Property near Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Approximately 120,000 meters of drilling has been completed to date on the property, focused mainly on the extended LONG Bars zone which trends 2 kilometers east-west over a potential 5.5 kilometers of mineralized structure. The highly prolific Cadillac Break, the source of more than 75 million plus ounces of gold production in the past century, cuts through the north part of the Granada property, but is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the company's property.
The Granada Shear Zone and the South Shear Zone contain, based on historical detailed mapping as well as from current and historical drilling, up to twenty-two mineralized structures trending east-west over five and a half kilometers. Three of these structures were mined historically from four shafts and three open pits. Historical underground grades were 8 to 10 grams per tonne gold from two shafts down to 236 m and 498 m with open pit grades from 3.5 to 5 grams per tonne gold.
Updated Mineral Resource
The updated resource at the Company's Granada Gold project in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec was estimated by SGS Canada and outlined in a January 29, 2021 news release. The final report was filed March 15, 2021 with an Effective date of December 15, 2020. The 43-101 Technical Report is titled: Granada Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate Update, Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada authored by Yann Camus, P.Eng. and Maxime Dupéré, B.Sc, géo.

National's plan to repeal the smokefree laws introduced by Labour have made headlines all over the world, with many shocked that the country would go back on the "world-first" move.
New Zealand was set to become the first country in the world to ban smoking for the next generation. The policy, due to come into effect next year, would see anyone born after January 1, 2009 never being able to buy tobacco.
Now, the coalition government has announced it will repeal amendments to the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990 and regulations before March 2024, officially scrapping the world-first policy which had previously been lauded overseas and is even thought to have inspired a similar move brought on by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis has acknowledged money saved by the scrapping of the smokefree laws will be used to help fund tax cuts.
Speaking on TV3′s Newshub Nation over the weekend, she said: "We have to remember that the changes to smokefree legislation had a significant impact on the government books — with about a billion dollars there."
'Shock reversal' - BBC
In the UK, the BBC referred to National's announcement as a "shock reversal" and quoted experts that slammed the decision announced by the coalition government, with modelling suggesting the Smokefree laws could save up to 5000 lives each year.
"New Zealand's laws were believed to have inspired the UK government in September to announce a similar smoking ban for young people. A spokeswoman said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's position remained unchanged after New Zealand's reversal," the BBC stated in the article.
'Catastrophic for Māori communities' - The Guardian
The Guardian also wrote about the law repeal, citing public health experts who describe it as "catastrophic for Māori communities.
"This move suggests a disregard for the voices of the communities most affected by tobacco harm – favouring economic interests," said Hāpai te Hauora chief executive Jason Alexander, quoted by The Guardian.
The publication also quoted Professor Lisa Te Morenga, the chair of non-government industry group Health Coalition Aotearoa, who said "this is major loss for public health, and a huge win for the tobacco industry – whose profits will be boosted at the expense of Kiwi lives".

'NZ has scrapped the world's first generational smoking ban' - Time
In the US, Time magazine wrote news of the repeal in New Zealand, pointing out that "critics and health ministers have called the plan a win for the tobacco industry.
"The ban was estimated to save up to 5000 lives annually, particularly among the nation's Indigenous Māori community who record high daily smoking rates of 19.9 per cent. It would also have saved the country's healthcare system $1.3 billion over the next 20 years, according to recent modelling," the news magazine wrote.
'New Zealand U-turns on smoking ban leaving health experts appalled and disgusted' - Daily Mirror
The Daily Mirror in the UK quotes health experts who say they are "appalled and disgusted" by the announcement from Luxon's government.
"We are appalled and disgusted... this is an incredibly retrograde step on world-leading, absolutely excellent health measures. Most health groups in New Zealand are appalled by what the government's done and are calling on them to backtrack," said Professor Richard Edwards, a tobacco control researcher and public health expert at the University of Otago, speaking to the BBC and quoted by the Mirror.
'Rollback would undo what's been seen as a world model' - NPR
NPR in the US says "the latest step in [New Zealand's] ambitious plan to sharply reduce smoking is now in jeopardy due to political necessity.
"Prime Minister Chris Luxon was sworn in on Monday — and strict anti-smoking laws are set to become a casualty of the compromises required to form his new coalition government. If successful, the rollback would undo what's been seen as a world model for tobacco policies."
'Immoral and embarrassing internationally' - Sir Colin Tukuitonga
National's announcement has received pushback from health experts all over New Zealand.
Leading Pasifika health expert Sir Collin Tukuitonga is the latest doctor to slam the new Government's plans to repeal smokefree legislation — calling the move immoral and embarrassing internationally.
Tukuitonga told the Herald he could not understand how government leaders could justify such a move, which he labelled as unethical — particularly as it would ultimately affect some of New Zealand's most vulnerable communities.
"Guess what? Māori and Pacific people are going to pay for the price of tax cuts. It's immoral and I think it's totally unacceptable," he said.
"We're known globally as a trendsetter and leader of the pack when it comes to smokefree legislation — and here we are going backwards."
