The United States Special Operations Command, Special Operations Forces Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (SOF AT&L), Directorate of Science and Technology (S&T) has issued a new Broad Area Announcement to industry, communicating its investment strategy in FY21 and beyond which focuses on SOF modernization development efforts that include more encompassing, disruptive technology efforts that are larger in scope and meet the demands of the strategic vision and Future Operating Environment (FOE). USSOCOM will continue making some investments in Special Operations Forces (SOF) enhancements in the programs of record. USSOCOM employs capabilities in all domains: terrestrial, maritime, air, space, and cyber.
SOCOM desires advancements in technology across six capability focus areas which are directly aligned with the USSOCOM Capability Planning Guidance:
• Biotechnologies and Human Interface
• Hyper Enabled Operator
• Network and Data Management
• Next Generation Effects
• Next Generation Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance
• Next Generation Mobility
They are interested in receiving white papers from all responsible sources in industry, academia, individuals, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, National Laboratories, and Government laboratories capable of pursuing, developing and evolving disruptive capabilities that must be made available to the SOF Operator within the next five to seven years in order to achieve mission success in the Future Operating Environment (FOE). That environment will be austere, with SOF operating on their own, or with very little support.
That includes satellite denied/disrupted environments, under threat of targeting by high?end military capabilities, including Weapons of Mass Destruction, where the Cyber and Electronic Warfare domains are contested and increased scrutiny is routine. The Future Operating Environment (FOE) is a world of "Convergence": the point where the gap between non-state and state actor capabilities diminishes and the threat to force and mission success increases significantly. Core SOF missions such as Direct Action, Counterterrorism, Security Force Assistance, Counter Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction and more are not expected to change significantly; however, the operational environment in which these missions will be executed is changing in accordance with global themes and trends. SOF missions will not significantly change, but the environment in which they are conducted is, and will continue, to change significantly.
The SOF Operator remains the central focus of all efforts and is the subject of a dedicated program. In order to negotiate this environment, SOCOM envisions a Hyper Enabled Operator (HEO) who is a SOF professional empowered by technologies that accelerate tactical decision making by increasing situational awareness and reducing cognitive workload.
No single technology will independently make operators hyper enabled. Instead, operators will become hyper enabled through the integration of technologies. More specifically, the Hyper Enabled Operator will have technologies which permit the persistent, near?real?time collection of data; the rapid, automated distillation of those data into mission relevant information; the dissemination of that information to the personnel who require or can best use it; the presentation of that information in easily understandable formats and user?friendly modalities; the ability to use that information to select, direct, and implement tailorable, non? lethal and lethal effects to best meet mission objectives; all while maintaining freedom of movement and tactical invisibility. Thus, S&T seeks white papers in the areas of Next Generation Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Networking and Data Management, Biotechnology and Human Interface, Next Generation Effects and Precision Strike, and Next Generation Mobility and Signature Management to build the Hyper Enabled Operator.
Offerors who wish to be considered for award in the fiscal years 2020 and 2021 must submit white papers on or before 21 May 2020, at 11:00 a.m. EDT,
This BAA will remain open for 5 years until 31 December 2025, unless superseded, amended, or cancelled.
Specific areas of focus are available at SAMS. Read it on beta.sams.gov…if you dare.
Ok, it's a cheap shot, but SAMS is still a beta even though both industry and government rely on it for procurement notifications. That thing is a trainwreck.

To make extra money, you could become an online proofreader. This is a flexible and easy way to make extra money.
You must ensure your work is accurate before sending it off when you write. It makes it great for a stay-at-home mom or as a side job.
In what ways would the world be different if there were no proofreaders around? If this were true, the world would be full of words misspelled.
Have you ever considered whether you would be good at proofreading? Is there a better way to find out? For example, when you write something, you want to ensure it doesn't have grammatical mistakes like misspellings or typos—a proofreader checks for these things and more.
If you're new to proofreading or have a general idea, I'd like to discuss it.
Hiring a proofreader has a lot of benefits. Getting a job that lets you work from home isn't easy, but a few companies are looking for people who can work from home right now.
There are also ways to find a job that lets you work from home, and below is a list of the best positions to work from home.
If you've never worked from home before, here's how to get your first job as a proofreader.
Table of Contents
Make sure that your social media profiles are up to date
Make any changes to any social media profiles that recruiters may consider as the first step in your job search.
People who work for companies will find you more easily if your picture is professional and keywords are used in your profile.
It's also essential to keep your profile up to date with any new credentials or skills you've gained since the last time you changed it.
Be able to change and think outside the box.
Working from home can be difficult if you don't have a lot of flexibility. You'll have a better chance of getting good jobs if you're willing to look for freelance or contract-based work or combine a few part-time jobs.
Look for jobs in proofreading websites.
When you're trying to get into a new field, it can feel like you're stuck in a never-ending rejection loop. If you lack work experience, you won't be hired or learn new things.
You can advertise your freelance proofreading services on the websites below and work as a proofreader for people who need their work checked. However, you don't have to put all your eggs in one basket when running an online business.
01. Upwork
To find online proofreading jobs for beginners, Upwork is a great place to start. Because it is free, this is a great place. People from all walks of life can work from home on our online platform, which I enjoy telling people about.
02. Lionbridge
Are you looking for a full-time proofreading job that you can do from home? Lionbridge is a great place to start your search, then. Proofreading is one of Lionbridge's most famous work-from-home jobs. In addition, there are many different types of proofreading tasks that you can do at home.
03. Fiverr
Is proofreading something you're interested in as a new freelancer? Fiverr.com should be one of the first places you visit. For a while now, this website has been on the web. However, it is aimed at all proofreaders, so reading is essential.
You should make sure you can fill out an online form
You should make sure you fill out an online form before doing this. Do this before you send your CV and cover letter. Depending on your job type, you might need to send employers examples of your work that they can look at immediately.
Remind yourself of the most common con artists.
Be careful when looking at changes that seem too good to be true regarding pay and flexibility. Most of the time, if something seems too good to be true, it almost always is. Some of the most common scams to look out for are people who do remote jobs, people who process claims, and people who stuff envelopes.
Proofreading is a beautiful job for someone willing to put in the work to learn the correct language and write high-quality content. It doesn't matter how long you've been proofreading; what matters is that your work is good enough for you to keep.
It's easy for stay-at-home moms to work when they want to because most proofreading jobs can be done online and from home. It also doesn't matter if you work early in the morning or late at night because you are in charge of your business and don't have to follow traditional company hours.

Frontify, the leading provider of brand management software, today announced its partnership with the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), one of the organizations responsible for the Emmy® Awards — the highest accolade one can receive in the television industry.
"The Emmy brand and its iconic statuette stand for excellence," says NATAS President & CEO, Adam Sharp. "Upholding that standard of excellence is what has kept the brand alive and relevant for more than seven decades, but our internal brand processes were cumbersome and outdated. We wanted to bring that sense of 'Emmy excellence' to the way we managed our brand; hence our implementation of Frontify."
Until the Frontify partnership, NATAS had a very rigid PDF style guide as well as 60,000 images collected from decades of Emmy Awards. Frontify was instrumental in not only helping to organise all these assets, but also provided a platform that has a seamless user-experience, is interactive, intuitive meaning that relevant stakeholders can now find what they are looking for, without having to search through the entire NATAS archive.

"This partnership with NATAS epitomises what Frontify can deliver even to organisations well into their seventh decade," says Frontify Founder & CEO, Roger Dudler. "What the platform was able to do, was to provide an interactive and dynamic tool to give both NATAS and its stakeholders a living, breathing and active style guide that can grow and evolve with the organisation, well into its next seven decades."
Frontify's collaboration with NATAS to date has been largely focused on internal stakeholders, show leads and chapters but from this year, it will be expanded to provide tools to its nominees, winners and other allied organisations, so that they can celebrate the achievements of their teams, their shows and their networks.
"I'm most excited for creating a one-stop-shop for our resources to help tell the story of Emmy excellence in the TV industry," continues Sharp. "We have all sorts of stakeholders, both internal and external who want to celebrate the achievement of colleagues, of themselves and of our industry as a whole. Frontify will now allow them to do this in a way that is not cumbersome, not overly complicated and allow us to be more agile than ever before."

Estuary economics: Volta Region reporters visit mangrove restoration project
Where the Volta River meets the sea on the eastern coast of Ghana, two communities are planting mangroves and digging waterways to promote the health of the area's ecosystem.
Jubilee 106.9 FM hosts Samuel Dolvo and Raymond Buckner met with the Agbledomi community to plan how they will report on this story.
Members of these communities are also working with others from the Salo, Agortoe, Akplorwotorkor, Bemigo, Dzita and Atitetey communities to achieve their common goal of a healthy mangrove population.
The radio story will join other solutions-based reporting as part of Farm Radio International's On-Air for Gender-Inclusive Nature-based Solutions project. With funding from Global Affairs Canada, Farm Radio is working with radio stations in six countries to create scripts, documentaries and radio programs about how people are working with nature to adapt to climate change – and how others can do the same.
Country program manager Rosemond Ohene and radio craft officer Issac Mintah accompanied the Jubilee radio team to help gather information and meet the community leaders who are taking action.
Restoration through the Community Resource Management Area model
The Community Resource Management Area approach to conservation puts decision-making power in the hands of local people, while reinforcing the community's right to benefit from the natural resources around them. The Ghana Wildlife Division originally developed this model.
The resource group has a five-person executive team, which Samuel and Raymond hope to interview during their next visit. The purposes of today's visit were to listen to members of the resource group speak about their work and become familiar with the area.
The community will finalize the detailed plan for the on-the-record interviews after the Jubilee and Farm Radio teams leave. The purpose of these community-initiated processes for scheduling, gate-keeping and decision-making is to make sure Farm Radio's interactions with the community are convenient and appropriate.
Members of the resource management group said they hope the mangroves will help increase the number of fish and crabs in the estuary. "Estuary" refers to the area where a freshwater body connects to the ocean.
The resource management group first came together in 2019 after visitors from the Development Institute, a Ghana-based non-profit organization, raised the concern that harvesting mangroves harms the ecosystem.
Some people in the community resource group emphasized that previous generations of mangrove harvesters knew it was important to plant more in the brackish water, where these plants thrive. "Brackish" is a term for water that is not marine saltwater, but is also not freshwater. Instead, it is extra salty freshwater.
The resource group said the ecosystem is essential to the local economy, which is based on fishing and mangrove harvesting.
The resource group executive team's secretary, Major Kamasah, explained that many young people had to move away from the community to look for better working opportunities because there are no longer enough fish and crabs to catch for commercial and personal use.
The Anloga District municipal assembly member representing Agbledomi, Jasper Agbanator, told us he supports the resource management group's work.
Seeing the root of the problem and the roots of the solution
After the resource group meeting, Mr. Agbanator invited the Jubilee and Farm Radio teams to visit the mangrove nursery up close. Major sat at the front of the boat, pointing out the different types of mangroves and explaining how the planting process worked.
There are white, red and black mangroves. The white mangrove's roots and trunk are much thicker and sturdier than the red and black mangroves.
Red mangroves are often dried out and sold for firewood. According to the resource group, many women make money by selling fish they smoke on the dried mangroves.
People collect the mangrove fruits and plant them in the water after a period of germination. Major pointed out the baby mangroves on the shore.
There is a clear line dividing the darker water on the river side of the estuary and the brighter water on the seawater side of the estuary.
To get to the estuary line between the lighter and darker water, we travelled through a waterway made by the community.
The original cycle of circulation promoted the right amount of saltiness in the water for the health of the fish and plants, like mangroves.
To make the alternative waterway, people used hoes to break up the rock before removing it by hand. Then, a dredging machine to deepen the waterway enough for small boats to pass. Community members worked for more than two weeks to reconnect the river and ocean after tidal waves formed a sandbank over the old route, Major said.
There used to be a community on the strip of land where the sand bank currently divides the open sea from the seawater side of the estuary. Most people had to leave when the tidal waves hit in 2021.
Major and Mr. Agbanator said the water quality on the river side of the estuary line is poor because it can no longer flow into the sea.
Mr. Agbanator said the government should step in to remove the sand blockade, because it will flush out unwanted particles in the river side of the estuary.
He has previously made public statements about this issue, such as in Ghana News Agency's coverage of sandbar blocks in the region last year. His advocacy represents one step towards ensuring the community can sustain itself, no matter what challenges climate change throws its way.
Restoring the water quality is important to the communities that surround this estuary because a healthy ecosystem means an optimistic future, especially for young people like Major.
About the project
The On-Air for Gender-Inclusive Nature-based Solutions project is a 5-year project led by Farm Radio International in partnership with the Government of Canada that will use high-impact radio programs to work with local communities in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Uganda and Zambia to identify, share and support local Nature-based Solutions and amplify those solutions to a network of 3,500 broadcasters across 38 African countries so they can be duplicated across the continent.

How NCIS Fans Really Felt About Millie Bobby Brown's Villainous Role
After nearly two decades on the air, the flagship series of the "NCIS" franchise is still running on CBS. Of course, even with Mark Harmon's exit as the iconic Leroy Jethro Gibbs, it's not especially surprising that CBS opted to renew for series for Season 20 (via TVLine). It makes sense, given that the series has been CBS' most popular television show for years now (via TVInsider).
Although the procedural series might not be the prestige drama that critics clamor for every season, it has also managed to attract a wide array of talented performers over the years. In addition to its main cast members, the series is known for a variety of notable villains. For example, in Season 9, Harper Dearing is played by character actor Richard Schiff. In fact, a guest role on "NCIS" can sometimes serve as a proving ground for up-and-coming actors.
In Season 3, Episode 13 ("Deception"), Zac Efron and Jesse Plemons both appeared in relatively small roles. Notably, they're not the only big stars to pick up brief roles on the long-running CBS drama. In fact, in Season 12, there is one character everyone forgets Millie Bobby Brown played. Interestingly, Brown's role as the surprise villain caused quite a stir among fans.
Fans think Millie Bobby Brown is the creepiest villain in NCIS
In "NCIS" Season 12, Episode 6 ("Parental Guidance Suggested"), Millie Bobby Brown portrays Rachel Barnes, a young girl who no one would ever suspect of a grisly murder. However, Barnes is actually one of the most cold-blooded killers in all of "NCIS" history. Having murdered a Navy Seal's wife, Barnes proceeds to show no remorse for it whatsoever.
According to a recent Reddit thread, fans of "NCIS" think that Brown's character is the show's creepiest villain to date. In their starting post, u/mintycrash initiated the conversation by asking the questions, "Who do you think was the creepiest villain on NCIS? Why?" In a quick response, u/mchollahan replied that Brown's character is the most unsettling to them. "There's something about a completely unremorseful child that gets to me," they said.
Other fans supported that sentiment, including u/dra9nfly, who explained, "I second this ... There were a lot of evil villains, but she was the creepiest for sure because [you] don't expect that level of evil from a child." In another comment, u/Macdaddyya pointed out that it probably shocked Gibbs to his core. "I can't imagine what was going through Gibbs' mind when he realized it was her," they noted.
Shortly after appearing in NCIS, Brown went on to guest spots on two other popular television series, "Modern Family" and "Grey's Anatomy". In 2015, Brown landed her star-making role as Eleven in "Stranger Things." For her role in the science fiction Netflix series, she has been nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards.

The following is a guest post by Camille Lemanski of the NPPL.
The National Professional Paintball League (NPPL) has gone through many changes over the past 18 years. We've seen this sport come out of the woods, into public arenas where thousands of fans can cheer on their favorite team. 2010 will mark another year of change. With a new company ran by teams and players, the NPPL will once again strive to be a leader in the Sport of Paintball.
Here are some of the new changes to look forward to in the 2010 NPPL Super 7 World Series:
Veteran player and major paintball industry icon Tom Cole, has signed on to be NPPL Ultimate at every event for 2010. Widely respected by players of all levels, Tom's wealth of knowledge and paintball experience will be a great asset to the league. He is also running the Ultimate Woodsball League (UWL) and travels the world representing Kingman. Tom will be working closely with Dan Perez and the NPPL Rules Committee to ensure incredible reffing this season.
The NPPL Super 7 Rules Committee will be addressing and making changes to several rules such as the illegal marker penalties and will be considering the use of .50 caliber paintballs. Furthermore, the committee is addressing the color of Paintballs and the staining characteristics that paintballs leave on tents, chairs, equipment and public property. The Rules Committee will be contacting and working with manufacturers to address these issues. You will be receiving updates from the committee through our mailing list and website. To join our emailing list, visit www.NPPL.com.
The league will be evaluating new divisions, game schedules, prize purses and over-all event management to continuously raise the level of event quality and create a positive experience for players, teams, sponsors and spectators alike.
The NPPL Super 7 World Series will be hosting Live Webcasts of the Huntington Beach and Vegas events. These state of the art Webcasts will once again bring the world of NPPL Super 7 Paintball events, athletes and sponsors to thousands of online viewers from around the world.
Several committees have also been formed to address different aspects of our sport such as Marketing, Sponsorships, Promotions, Licensing, Membership services, etc… If you are interested in getting involved, please reach out to us. We are scheduling a sponsors conference call in the next two weeks. If you're a sponsor, please contact us for more information.
The NPPL Super 7 is also looking to add new Professional Teams to the 2010 season. This will be exciting as we continue to grow our professional athlete base and expand the reach of tournament paintball across the nation.
The league will also be adding an incredible Feeder League system that will prepare teams for the National competitions and spotlight. We are looking to award points for teams competing in Sanctioned NPPL Feeder events and will release more details this January. We are also working on a program where we can share ID Cards from Sanctioned Feeder Series.

This excellent coupling from brings together two distinctive scores from Sir James MacMillan, different in character yet both sharing a lack of extra-musical concerns (a major preoccupation) and drawing inspiration from historic musical sources. Echoes of Renaissance composer Robert Carver, a fellow Scot, inform the Fourth Symphony with its assimilation of his ten-voice Missa Dum sacrum mysterium (and shape a subtle and uneasy relationship between past and present), while a quartet of violas and cellos bring evocations of a viol consort in the Viola Concerto.
The Fourth Symphony (2014-15) is cast in one continuous movement and scored for a sizeable orchestra with an extensive percussion section including aluphone (aluminium bells struck with a mallet), steel drum and temple bowls. It's an eventful work of some forty minutes, teeming with ideas and arresting contrasts, unfolding as much by strength of personality as any logical design, yet built on distinct ideas the composer calls 'rituals of movement, exhortation, petition and joy.' Ethereal celesta and glockenspiel set in motion its collage-like episodes before yielding to dense and ecstatic string writing reminiscent of Michael Tippett's Concerto for Double String Orchestra. But rapture jostles with an overriding sense of unease in this emotional spin-dryer of a work where colours run riot and moods turn on a sixpence, clamour cedes to consolation, tumult surrenders to lamentation, their synthesis ultimately symphonic in its restless and hard won resolution of material. Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Philharmonic bring total assurance to its eclectic detail.
The Viola Concerto (2013) joins an increasing number of works MacMillan has written for players he admires. Lawrence Power is the eloquent and highly communicative soloist in a work conventionally divided into three movements (fast, slow, fast) designed to illuminate the viola's lyrical qualities and set against a largish orchestra often used in chamber combinations with an array of tuned percussion. Whether soaring, soulful and scurrying, Power gives a compelling account and throughout is unfailingly expressive and rich toned. After two peremptory chords, the viola takes wing pursuing a freewheeling ascent above hushed strings and percussion, whimsy turning to unease in menacing brass before the viola wins out, disquiet unresolved. MacMillan's characteristic 'keening' colours a romantically inclined slow movement, and exuberance dominates the propulsive Finale where shades of Bartók (or even Martinů) frame a portrait of nostalgic orientalism in which a flute impersonates a Japanese shakuhachi.
This is a significant release for which excellent sound is a bonus.

30 Signs A Girl Likes You
Read more about how to tell if a woman is interested in you here.
A woman who likes you will listen to every word you say. She will ask follow-up questions, react to your stories with various facial expressions, and always encourage you to talk more.
Hell, they've probably group stalked your social media profiles too. Well the truth is that when girls aren't that interested in talking to you they won't put any effort into trying to keep things interesting and will let you do all the work. But, when they're actively engaging with the conversation, when they ask you follow up questions to keep things moving then that's because they want to talk to you and it's a huge indicator of the fact that they're probably into you. Ever have a girl stand so close to you that her breasts press against your arm or chest?
You should consider these questions because if you like your friend as more than a friend, you will probably interpret their actions differently and see "signs" that aren't really there. So before you worry about how to tell if your friend likes you, consider any possible biases that you might have. If you don't think you're simply seeing what you want to see, your friend may indeed be interested in being more than just your buddy. Signs a guy likes you can also be different from signs a girl likes you. Still, some things stay consistent no matter what.
If a girl has a crush on you, a sincere one, and she's not to0 nervous, she will show you with her body language she wants a little more. If this girl is talking about anything in the future, it's another sweet signal she has a crush on you. When a girl makes a point of letting you know when she notices you have put effort into your look, that's a great sign. This is absolutely amazing. When a girl shuts off her girl talk to give her undivided attention to you whenever you appear, that's just fantastic.
Instead of simply saying "hi" and "goodbye," she gives you a hug too. Yes, this is a sign that she likes you a lot. Your friends might laugh because you might seem like a teddy bear that is getting hugged every time she sees you. In psychology, body language is an undeniable proof of a person's attraction towards you.
- Well I have a coworker who recently started at the job the first day she left a bit of space but did acknowledged me and asked several questions.
- Similarly, with group setups, you can tell that she likes you if, out of all the people in your party, she chooses your presence to stick with.
- Look, we're not saying that you're not Chris Rock, it's just… OK, we are saying that.
- OK, let's say you've overcome the first crucial step and are now having a conversation with a woman, but you're not sure if she's into it or not.
Does not exist. When a girls gives you a nickname, especially a teasing one, that's a clear text sign a girl likes you. If you just don't understand body language and basic psychology, then don't give up. Her friends can give you clues on whether she likes you or not. Does her friends mention her a lot to you?
Again, this can go back to the attention bit I mentioned above. She could be all the way across the room but notice you talking to others. In return, she'll scoot on over and try to squeeze her way into the conversation. Think of this as her way of trying to determine your sense of humor and ability to stand up for yourself.
But if she's a nervous kind of person, then it may take her time to get comfortable with you touching her, even if she is interested in you. If she seems like a touchy-feely person with other people, then the fact she pulled away obviously isn't a good sign. It's commonly known that people often touch the person they like. Of course, be careful where you touch her and don't do it inappropriately.
She stays close to you even if you aren't talking to her
But if she seems to be pushing you to be interested in a friend of hers, you can bet she's not that interested in you. (You might also thank her, because this can be a great way to meet new, qualified people.) Girls who are interested in you are going to want to keep you for themselves, not pass you off to her single girlfriends. Remain honest and open, both to her feelings and to the possibilities.
Notice if she touches you or tries to get closer. When a girl likes you, she will often try to touch you, as this is a noticeable yet still subtle way to flirt. It allows a girl to size up how responsive you are. She may touch your arm when you say something funny, "accidentally" brush your shoulder or hands with hers, or gently place her hand on your knee.

The Red Baron Pokies is a pokies machine from Aristocrat. The theme for this pokies is the famed Red Baron World War I flying ace. This pilot was known far and wide for his legendary piloting skills. The graphics support the theme well with pretty blue skies just right for flying and the symbols used in this pokie are nicely theme oriented as well.
Actually, this is a 'reel power' pokie, which dispenses with standard win lines, giving you 243 possible winning combinations instead.
Red Baron pokies is a colourful game, though the graphics are relatively simple compared with many of today's pokies. You'll be lining up planes, targets, Richthofen's famous dog, an airship, and a profile of a woman too. The familiar click-click of each reel stopping is in place, as are the retro computer tunes when you get a winning combination. You will have the opportunity to gamble after each win by choosing the colour or suit of a playing card.
Red Baron Pokies – The Features
There are two parts to the bonus feature, which immediately makes Red Baron pokies more interesting than many other Aristocrat titles. First of all, you need to choose from one of 5 missions to shoot down enemy aircraft. The idea is that the more you shoot down, the bigger your multiplier of the win from the spin that got you to the feature. If you choose a big number and do not reach your target, then you can lose out. The choices are 4 planes for 10x, 8 for 15x, 12 for 25x, 16 for 60x and 20 for 140x. If you shoot down 25 or more (by having them appear on the reels) then you'll get an additional 40x regardless of which option you picked.
You will also accumulate wins like normal during the 15 free spins. There is one additional feature here, the medal wild will multiply any wins that it is a part of by 2x, 3x or 5x. Remember that this symbol will only appear on reel 3.
How To Play The Game
You can play the Red Baron Pokies for free or with real money at online casinos. With reel power games you do not select the number of lines. It is possible to choose how many reels you want to include in the 'all-ways' system, which awards wins for any consecutive symbols from left to right regardless of which line they appear on. If you choose 4 reels instead of 5, you'll reduce the potential winning combinations from 243 to 81.
You can choose to bet from 2c, which gives a spin value of 50c for all 5 reels. The max (Aristocrat always let you select this with a handy 'max' button) is $100 per spin. There is an autoplay feature too.
The top symbols on Red Baron pokies are the Red Baron himself, and his red biplane. 5 of either will get you 1500 coins, with the lady worth 1000 for 5. The remaining unique symbols (airship, dog, and radio) are worth 400, 250, and 200 respectively for 5 – with the playing cards making up the remaining wins.
There are two other symbols to note at Red Baron pokies. First, the medal is the wild in this game. This only appears on reel 3 and will substitute for any other symbol. Unusually, this includes the target symbol, which is the scatter. The target only appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. All 3 will trigger the mission and free spins round and pay a multiple of the total bet for that particular spin.
The Bonuses To Be Won
The player has the opportunity to guess how many times the Target symbol will appear on the reels. If they wager well and guess correctly they could win up to 140x their wager.
The bonus rounds in the Red Baron Pokies make it possible for the player to win up to $37,500 in this game. In order to accomplish this feat the player must bet wisely and get the most out of the bonus rounds. The players can wager anywhere from a penny to $5 per reel.
The Red Baron pokies is a fun game for gamers to play. The stakes are high and the opportunities to win are there. The graphics are good and the atmosphere fits the theme. This is the pokie to play if you want the opportunity to win 140x your winnings.

To Start live! video press there
So your girlfriend dated your friend. Before you were together when they were both single. She dumped him for a valid if emasculating reason… then TOLD YOU why, presumably months or years later. And your response was to cut HIM off, a guy who did nothing wrong other than date the meanest girl he knew?
You guys deserve each other lmao.
This. Same thing happened to a friend of mine except his wife was 9 months pregnant. Gave up drinking the next day.
And if you are letting him back in your on-line, Ali got to go
I like Pokémon and Big brother not much entertaining in my life. And Yeaa maybe I'll learn how to keep relationships, so thank you
Well that wasn't my post. But for letting me know I guess
You will be okay, I have faith in you. But you really do need to take steps toward moving on for your sake more than anything. You deserve a girl that will love you and choose you, not to spend years suffering for a girl that is taken and on a different path.

At exactly 11.10 AM, the doctor popped out to inform me that we had been blessed with a boy.
Yes, my son and heir Ranjan is fifty years old today and I simply cannot believe it.
Nothing else can describe Ranjan than this photograph taken just last week. He is with Chutki and Koko.
His late mother would have been on cloud nine today.

Each pricing pack we offer supports a limited number of listings, so the size of your inventory is an important factor to consider, while how much competition you have for your listings will help you to determine whether you need hourly or instant repricing. Ultimately though, you'll want to consider your budget and what's right for your business; the advanced options give you more opportunity to increase your revenue and profit, for example, one of the reasons the Ultimate pack is so popular is the Net Margin Repricing feature, as it allows sellers to ensure the profitability of their sales. Finally, if you'd like to manage pricing for other sales channels, such as Shopify, Walmart etc., from the repricer dashboard or reprice on eBay you should choose the Ultimate or Extreme packs.
Each of our standard packs support a limited number of listings. A listing is defined as any product within the inventory of any connected channel.
Events are competitor price changes that trigger Amazon to send notifications to Repricer.com.

Is anyone else disappointed that when Sauce brought out their take on a cold IPA they didn't call it Cold Sauce? Just me? Well then, I'll put my disappointment on ice and turn your attention to Chill Factor.
The grain bill, yeast strain and fermenting temperature say "lager", but the hopping regime says "big old IPA". The body is crisp without being thin, with a clean malt base that's all about paving the way for the hops to shine. Idaho 7 and Citra appear from the first sniff, but it's on the palate where they really punch through, exhibiting their citrusy notes with a clean, piney bitterness. This is one of those a-little-too-easy-to-drink beers; it bears bold flavours and solid ABV, but it's the kind of beer you want to drink by the pint.
Then there's Daywalker, the first ginger beer to come through Sauce's brewhouse. Sauce have included barley in the recipe to put the "beer" in "ginger beer", and also added chilli, cinnamon and clove to give Daywalker layers of complexity. It's dry and spicy, almost like a hearty shiraz that can hold its own alongside just about any food you'd care to pair with it. There's freshness from the moment it touches your lips, and lingering warmth on your tongue well after the last sip. Drink it with some Vietnamese or Thai food and you're laughing.

Alphabet's ( GOOGL -2.44% ) ( GOOG -2.33% ) Google section is establishing reducing-edge healthcare initiatives all-around the world, and other huge tech firms like Apple and Amazon are making their individual forays into the well being and physical fitness area. In this episode of "The Health and fitness & Physical fitness Clearly show" on Motley Idiot Dwell, recorded on March 25, Idiot.com contributors Rachel Warren and Brian Orelli focus on Google Health and much more with Motley Fool analyst Sanmeet Deo.
Rachel Warren: I feel proper now the small business versions are moving in a small little bit of a distinct route, but those people could converge in the long run, I think, if indeed, Google Well being is productive with this. Some a long time in the past, there was a whole lot of to-do around Google Overall health and then it floundered a bit. What was exciting was viewing some diverse content out on the website immediately after this function. It was like, "Oh, Google Health is seeking to make a comeback." Now, can they do it? I imagine it truly is very probable they can. I agree with you as a purchaser, I really like the plan of remaining capable to just variety in a lookup and book a doctor's appointment or a checkup or no matter what the scenario may well be, because I can say for myself often it can be seeking to determine out which doctor to go to for whatsoever that need is. It can be a little intricate. I love the concept of simplifying that component.
I think where by they to go further into the telehealth house and be successful at it, they could pose a disruption to a enterprise like Teladoc. But it seems like ideal now, a good deal of it is focused on particular other facets of streamlining health care and some of it in really early stages. But it does appear genuinely exciting. I like that they're attempting to revitalize the segment of their company that Google or Alphabet has also been so prosperous in so quite a few various ventures, but its foray healthcare had not been so considerably of a achievements, I believe, to the surprise of a great deal of buyers. As an trader, I am extremely intrigued to see in which this goes and how productive they can be in employing this new line of applications they have introduced.
Brian Orelli: Teladoc has a partnership a short while ago with Amazon, and now you can ebook your Teladoc appointment via your Alexa product. There is no rationale I never feel that Teladoc could also get in on this new partnership with Google, and then you could reserve your Teladoc appointment by way of the Google lookup.
Sanmeet Deo: It truly is fascinating since with all this things with Google Overall health and all the stuff you talked about is really interesting. What I also find so interesting about Google is they are making use of AI machine mastering to electricity a ton of what they are executing with data. It's interesting to see them do that. It is interesting because, as you were chatting, I was contemplating of, you can find so several wellbeing and fitness businesses that we are heading to be talking about on this clearly show. The conditioning corporations are diverse, they are their individual point. But with wellness providers and outside of medical gadget providers, individuals are also various. But when I think about well being corporations, health care providers, it can be pretty much like some of the large tech providers are all encroaching on to the healthcare scene in various methods. All the stuff you're speaking about currently, working with AI device finding out to energy their Google Well being engine, they bought Fitbit, so they are acquiring into the wearables. Genuinely, I consider, it's powered by just selection of health info and then using that knowledge to present providers and things. Amazon, it seems like, is more on the telehealth side. I do not know of any other initiatives they are executing outside the house of the telehealth things.
Orelli: They have a pharmacy, too.
Deo: Which is proper. Prescriptions and pharmacy stuff. I see them as telehealth and prescriptions and pharmacies. Then you have Apple, which they have wellbeing data that they obtain with their Apple view and their gadgets simply because they're a massive hardware perform. They're drifting to conditioning as very well. It truly is fascinating to line all these big tech companies up in in which they're heading in the whole well being and fitness. The way I feel about it is if you want to devote in the healthcare house in a specified part you want to devote in, if you might be bullish on data and AI and overall health, Google may well be an intriguing option mainly because they delve into all of that. If you're a large believer in telehealth, perhaps Amazon or Teladoc. Or if you're huge into connected conditioning, exercise, or just common wellbeing details for shoppers, it's possible Apple is form of a route that you go into. It is exciting how these tech companies are really encroaching in these locations. It kind of retains some of the other healthcare organizations on their toes.
This post signifies the feeling of the author, who may well disagree with the "official" recommendation situation of a Motley Fool premium advisory service. We're motley! Questioning an investing thesis – even a person of our have – allows us all believe critically about investing and make selections that assistance us develop into smarter, happier, and richer.

Everything about the lottery is strictly regulated – Nobody can play, the amount they can play, what percentage of revenue goes towards prizes, how the balls are drawn, as soon as the balls are drawn, and absolutely anything more you can think at. There is no room for errors and fraud is virtually non-existent. All because of these measures are put in in order to be fair and to obtain the trust of every.
Ken Silver is an australian online lottery website millionaire that been using his own system november 23 the lottery for over 19 years and also helping hundreds consumers worldwide. Known as system can boost the winning chances up in order to thousand days to weeks. Probably he is not sharing all his secrets (which millionaire would?) nevertheless it's good to piece belonging to the pie of his personal expertise.
That is not the case with a home-based home business. Home-based businesses are designed to profit the average person live the life of their dreams. Precisely opportunity is afforded to everyone, absolutely no one person has a nicer shot at fortune approach other, therefore the playing fields are leveled in the network marketing arena.
When can do this tip not hold true? When the cost of the ticket comes into play. On some scratch-off lotto games, you could pay more to get better odds. For example, say there are two scratch-off games which have the same exact prize of $500,000. Among the list of games costs $5 perform and the additional one costs $10 perform. The game that costs $10 to play, all other things being equal, will have better possibility. That's because they charge extra to pay for the higher odds.
Obviously, the a customer spends on his lottery syndicate, modern commission you'll earn. The brand new commission a person simply get, you use it to buy more tickets, or to partake in other syndicate groups increase your associated with winning. Don't only begin to get you also must be play big to sign up, focus on getting quite a few new customers as a possibility. This way, regardless of whether the commission for each is small, a person have more possibility of them referring others to join too. As soon as your referrals become affiliates and sign up new players, you in order to earning money their suggestions. Before you know it, when you are earning a fine amount of commission. Does an extra million appears like a good commission? Then get started, and tell people why they should join a lottery distribute.

Home maintenance and repair pilot program coordinator sought
Orcas Senior Center is recruiting for a part-time independent contractor to coordinate its Home Maintenance & Repair (HM&R) pilot program. The HM&R Coordinator will be responsible for receiving maintenance and repair requests, facilitating agreements with contractors, and assuring that work is done well and in a timely manner for seniors and adults with disabilities.
Successful candidates will be licensed, bonded, and insured. In addition, candidates must pass a background check and be willing to additionally list Orcas Senior Center as also insured on their policy.
The HM&R pilot project stems from a critical need discovered as part of a feasibility study (2017-2019), an assessment funded by a grant from the Orcas Island Community Foundation. It illuminated the problem that many seniors and adults with disabilities are unable to keep up with home repairs and ranked this higher than health concerns. Today, the problem is compounded because many contractors in the San Juan Islands are currently too busy to take on small projects.
The one-year HM&R pilot program will connect seniors and adults with disabilities with licensed, bonded, and insured contractors to perform maintenance and repair work, allowing them to age safely in their homes. Homeowners will pay the contractors directly for all repairs. In the future, program resources may also include an HM&R Assistance Fund to subsidize home maintenance, repair, and safety modifications for lower-income seniors and adults with disabilities.
To apply and to see the scope of work for the HM&R Coordinator position, please go to the Orcas Senior Center website at www.orcasseniors.org. For inquiries contact (360) 919-9312 or [email protected]. Applications due Monday, February 4.

An implant-supported denture is a kind of overdenture that is sustained with and connected to the implants.
The arrangement can be comprehended this way- dentures are worked with implants to provide the perfectly fitted appliance that lasts longer.
Traditionally, implants are applied when there are no teeth left in the jaw but otherwise, have sufficient bone to sustain implants. On the other hand, conventional dentures are supported by gums and do not demand implants.
However, implant supported dentures employ special attachments that can be placed onto the implant attachments.
Notably, implant supported dentures are more or less utilized for the lower jaw, providing stability to the denture (as many times conventional dentures feel unsteady in the lower jaw region).
However, there is no fixed pattern for getting particular dentures for upper or lower jaw and you can receive implant supported dentures in the upper jaw as well.
Conventionally, there are two kinds of implant supported dentures- Bar retained and ball-retained.
Image Source: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Implant_overdenture_bar_retained.jpg
Image Source: http://slideplayer.com/slide/1703483/
Every implant in the jawbone endures a metal attachment that clicks into another attachment on the denture.The attachments on the implants are primarily ball-shaped and are called the male attachments. These male attachments secure into sockets, which are called the female attachments.

Before getting implants, it is critical to brace yourself for the procedure. It is recommended that you go with a thorough consultation with your prosthodontist or dental surgeon. Quite so you should also know about his/her experience and whether he/she possesses advanced training in the arrangement and refurbishment of the implants.
While in the consultation stage, the dentist will take a review of your dental condition. He can also evaluate your present/past medical and dental histories.
Image Source: http://glidewelldental.com/education/chairside-dental-magazine/volume-10-issue-4/implant-overdentures-a-superior-cost-effective-alternative-to-traditional-dentures/
A dental surgeon will require your X-rays to identify your dental condition. During this time he will also take your gum and teeth impressions in order create highly identical models that fit exactly in your jaws. In some cases, the dentist needs computed tomography or CT scan of your mouth.
CT scan can assist in multiple ways- it records your sinuses (located above your upper teeth) and nerves. It further enables dentists to identify if the sinuses or nerves are not harmed by the implant placement. A CT scan moreover helps in determining how much bone is left and ascertain best locations for the implants.
The front of your jawbone has more bone than the back area. The implants are deposited in the front of the mouth for the same reason. More than often this happens as the teeth's are missing for a greater period of time.
In addition, the front jaw does not hold any nerves or any such structures which should possibly interfere with the position of the implants.
There could be a number of factors that could determine the time period to complete the denture implant process. On average the minimum time frame suggested is 5 months for lower jaw and seven months for the upper jaw.
This is the total time period including surgeries and the placement of the denture. Nonetheless, the process may consume up to a one-year minimum, if your bone requires grafting and other preparatory procedures beforehand.

In conventional treatment for Implant supported dentures, two surgeries are usually necessitated. In the first surgery, the dentist places the implants in the jawbone under your gums and after three to six months of the gap period the second surgery takes place
Many dentists presently opt for a one-stage procedure to save the time. Here the dentist places the implants and fits the supporting bar in only one step. Even the success rate is higher for this procedure.
Image Source: http://www.iweardentures.com/2012/10/temporary-vs-permanent-dentures.html
Dentists usually prepare temporary dentures to replace your missing teeth for a brief period of time, until you get yourself a whole set of final dentures. Dentists usually recommend you to wear this temporary denture until the full implant-supported denture are perfectly fitted in your jaws.
On average this takes at least 4 visits to your dentist. You may also require to span for several weeks to finally complete the process. The temporary set of denture helps in resolving the soundest place for the final fitting.
You can also use these dentures to work as a backup for the permanent dentures. If you are final denture is problematic and is not adjusted right, you can keep on using the temporary ones till the final process is complete.
Temporary dentures are also beneficial in a way if you think that the cost of your new set is higher. You can go back to your temporary dentures, however, just make sure that have attachments added to securely fit them with your implants.
The first surgery can be performed in the first month if no dentures need to be made. However, if dentures are required then it will be performed in the second month.
Procedure: The first surgery requires placing the implants in your jawbone. Initially, an incision is created in the gum which will hold the implant. This incision is made by drilling a hole in the bone. Thereafter, the implant is deposited into the hole and the incision is sewed to close.
Aftercare: The aftercare involves avoiding pressure on the implants. The dentist may give you temporary denture so that direct pressure is evaded on the implants. Temporary dentures give soft reline, a new lining subsequent to your gums) to support you and abate the pressure on your gums.
After completing a successful first surgery, the dentist will ask you to pause for three to four months if implants were fitted for the lower jaw. While the average waiting time for upper jaw is five or six months before scheduling the second surgery. Throughout this time, the bone and the implants blend and fuse together.
Depending on the requirement of dentures, the dentist will wait for 4 or 5 months if you don't need to make a new one or 5/6 months for the vice versa.
Procedure: The second surgery is scheduled at once if the implants seem to have been fused properly. The dentist approves for the surgery after taking an X-ray, which reports if the implant is fit for the surgery or not.
The next waiting time is 5 or 6 months if no dentures need to be made. Further, if you require dentures then it will be- 6 or 7 months.
During this time, the metal bar is placed over the abutments. The denturist will help you with your first try-in of your new dentures framework and check for any adjustments.
Now if the framework and the abutments fit properly, the teeth are temporarily placed on the framework in wax. If it works well then the teeth are secured in the dentures framework enduringly. At this point in time, the bar or balls are also secured.
Nonetheless, you may have to pay another visit to your dentist for insertions. During insertion of the denture, it is snipped onto the bar or closed on the balls for attachments.
Again the temporary dentures are used for the new reline. It is significant as you may use it as a backup in case you lose your final denture or break your overdenture.
Alternatively, if you are using temporary denture as your permanent denture then again the ball or the bar are secured to it.

The aftercare of your dentures is very valuable as their age is significantly dependent on your attention and concern. Following steps are employed for the aftercare-
There are certain risks that implants supported dentures bear which include the risk of surgery and failing of implants. You should invest your time after properly going through the risks and learning about the procedures.
Bar-retained denture requires space on the dentures framework for the attachments that are built exclusively for it. Certainly, this leaves less room for the denture framework for the teeth that are fitted with it. As result teeth can sometimes lose some space from the base. However, this problem is easily sorted by your dentist.
Additionally, with bar retained dentures, it is imperative that the bar is evenly balanced on each and every implant. This is termed as "passive fit" by the dentists, and if the fit is not balanced then it can cause the extra stress on your bars and hence the screw loosen up.
Sometimes when you grind or clench your teeth hard, some parts of your dentures may break or fall off.
Implant supported dentures are actually more resilient than the regular dentures and make it easier for you to speak. With implant supported dentures you don't actually need to worry if they might fall off.
Moreover, with fallen or weak teeth you are usually not able to eat some of your favourite foods. But with implant supported dentures, you actually can. However don't chew hard or grit. Even avoid sticky foods that can damage your denture.
You can always book your appointments with Dentures Direct for your implant supported dentures. Call us at (416)-245-7474 or visit our Toronto denture clinic in Etobicoke today to discuss your dental problems.

Whether you are thinking about starting your importing business or going to scale up your existing business, you may have to face more challenges in 2022. In this article, I will tell you the things you can do to run a profitable business in 2022.
According to our sourcing experience, 2022 is going to be more challenging than usual. You may encounter raw material prices rising, inflation and so on. As a small businessman, you need to bear more pressure and keep the following things in mind.
Sourcing Secrets for Importers to Be Profitable in 2022
Though business in 2022 may be a little difficult, there are still some things you can do to avoid loss.
Prepare More Cash
You may already know that the delayed shipping situation has become normal. In the past, you were able to get your products from China to UAS in 30 days by sea. However, at present, you may have to wait for another 20-30 days. There are some reasons for the delay.
- Container Shortage. Here we take L.A port as an example. More than 40% of the importing ships are docked here. There is a visible vicious circle as inefficient unloading leads to more ships staying in ports and fewer returning to Asia, creating container shortages. All these leads to longer lead time.
- Longer Production Time. As your supplier, they have to extend the production time because of the material shortage and power shortage. You used to get your products from the day of down payment to the day of delivery in 3 months. Now, you have to wait for more time since the supplier needs more time to produce.
When you are waiting for products, your cash is trucked. And there is no way for you to get more cash until the product delivered and you can sell them. Thus longer lead time means you need to prepare more cash to get your business started to make sure you don't run out of money while you're waiting. And if you want to scale up your business, you'd better check your balance sheet carefully.
Plan Your Profit Margin Carefully
There are two major costs for you before getting your product. One is the material cost or product cost, and the other is shipping cost. Thus, the rising shipping freight and rising raw material prices mean higher cost input. If you don't plan ahead, you can't guarantee your profit margin. When you calculate your landed cost, I suggest that you can add 10% to your product cost in case the price increases again when you launch your product or after you launch the product. And on the shipping side, you'd better add an additional 10% to your shipping cost. This will give you at least some buffer to know after you commit your payment. And you will have room to have your profit margin drop and you still can make money. If you don't know how to calculate your landed cost, please refer to this article: https://sinoinspection.com/import-from-china-tutorial-06-how-to-calculate-your-cost/.
Source From China
Apart from China, where can you get your product manufactuered? You may say vietnam. Yes, Vietnam has been really popular in recent years. However, in my opinion, if you are a small businessman or a newbie to importation, you'd better forget about vietnam for language barriers, infrastructure issues, labor shortage and so on. You'd better to get your product from China because the manufacturing, import and export trading practice in China are so mature. If you already have your own business and it's doing well, you can consider sources from different places like vietnam to diversify your supply chain and minimize your sourcing risks.
2022 is a year full of challenges as well as opportunities. Keep the mentioned 3 tips in mind and you can make your own business. Any problems about importing from China will be appreciated, feel free to contact us for help.
