Same as other areas dish carrier, cooking area, washing area, and some other small parts. Here we are going to discuss the most important part of the kitchen is Sink.
In the kitchen sink, you do dishwashing, utensil washing, and some other washing work. A kitchen without a sink is not possible because after every work we need to clean our hands.

Steps of Kitchen Sink Installation Dubai:

1- Measuring the Area:
Our first step is to measure the area in which the sink has to be installed. The perfect measurement is needed because if the measurement goes wrong then damage to the kitchen will occur. That is why our main concentration is on measurement.
2- Drain Pipe Adjustment:
After measurement, we used to adjust the drainage system as per the location of the sink. We try to shorten the distance between the pipe and the drain hole because it consumes less space.
3- Installed the Faucet:
After adjustment, we follow our third step which is faucet installation. The faucet is the main component of a sink because it will supply the water from pipes. After installing a faucet, now we connect the faucet to the water supply pipe and open faucet for the checking.
4- Drain Pipe:
In our fourth step, we fit the drain pipe along with a rubber gasket set which blocks the leakage of water. We fix the drain pipe to the drainage through which water directly traveled to the drainage.

another limited issue is when Dansco made albums for Littleton Coin (I am guessing it was right before Littleton started selling those 3-ring green albums).
They seem to be regular Dansco's but without a number but Littleton coin printed there
example on eBay ->https://ebay.com/itm/304751395719?hash=item46f4994387:g:Z-EAAOSwTLhiuJt5&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoJ6uobdIuDt4Ry4kiAMb8KndCrfpGHv8pJ5T%2FF29SxSXHLG7wE9IZxNbEeX3%2F4at5cOneMRAOe%2FUuuc%2BYL0gGQ3OWAJXKdIjs%2F7H3LGA2nnfUGHoaKL2WKS0WNBM3ga7aKq7iA2WngvtmH%2BChH6KBPI5Ea5ioJQnYf%2BHKYt8qAlitAmU%2BGq57uuopce9p9mAKKW9JyXjKapLtSID9FSHVVg%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4TJko64YQ0 -

The Fauna & Flora International, in cooperation with Ha Nam provincial authorities, has introduced a scheme to protect Delacour's langurs that includes a range of activities, such as raising local awareness and setting up a community-based task force for wildlife conservation. The task force will be responsible for removing traps and tracking wildlife, particularly Delacour's langurs. It must remain vigilant about wildlife damage and report any cases to forest rangers.
Their efforts have paid off. Indeed, from 40 Delacour's langurs in 2016, Kim Bang forest is now home to over 100, ranking it second in the world, behind only Van Long Natural Reserve in Ninh Binh province. Ha Nam is also working on establishing a Delacour's langur reserve in Kim Bang district.
Delacour's langurs are rare in nature. The animal is among 25 of the most-endangered species worldwide and on the brink of extinction./.

FAR EAST MENTION MANNEQUINS AGENCY SYNDICATE is a top secret organization with the goal of liberating mannequins from human oppression by turning them into "FEMMs": sentient mannequins capable of moving and acting on their own free will. To accomplish this, FEMM's Acency Syndicate has released two FEMMs into society to scout out mannequins that have the potential for FEMM-ization: SW-000000 aka "RiRi" and MS-000000 aka "LuLa." RiRi and LuLa are handled by the organizations two most elite agents, Honey-B and W-Trouble. RiRi and LuLa have been spotted throughout Tokyo as seemingly-worthless mannequins begin to disappear...
FEMM is also a Japanese pop duo that surfaced in 2014. If you haven't already guessed, they are heavy on the "concept" aspect; they may be more accurately described as an ambitious art project than a music act, employing world-class talent from several mediums. FEMM is backed by the producers of such big name stars as Beyonce and Lady Gaga, resulting in music that is probably more familiar to American ears than Japanese ones (their lyrics are also entirely in English). Also of note are their music videos, which have been released at a steady pace since the beginning of 2014, each one different from the last but all of them undeniably impressive. Finally, intricate and robotic choreography is provided by HIDALI, the choreographer behind Genki Sudo's equally novelty group WORLD ORDER. The mannequins also remain in character at all times.
Those who are interested in becoming agents can register at the official FEMM website (available in English as well as Japanese). Their music videos can all be found on their official YouTube channel.
FEMM provides examples of:
- Badass Boast: "Fxxk Boyz Get Money", "Kill the DJ", "White Noise"...most of their songs, really.
- Cluster F-Bomb: "Fxxk Boyz Get Money". It may make up around half the song's lyrics.
- Girl on Girl Is Hot: Invoked in the lyrics of "Wannabe".
- Mood Whiplash: The second to last single released by them before they released a full album was "Unbreakable" which was a soft ballad done mostly on piano. The final single was another EDM song more in line with their previous singles.The song is appropriately titled "Whiplash".
- Motor Mouth: The rap part after the bridge in "PoW."
- Naughty Nurse Outfit: Both mannequins in "Party All Night".
- The Oner: The music video for "Whiplash".
- Precision F-Strike: Although "Fxxk Boyz Get Money" uses the F-word quite often, it is "bleeped" out, which makes the acutal usage of it after the bridge quite effective.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: According to this interview, RiRi is an aggressive combat oriented mannequin while LuLa is more reserved and supportive.
- Surprisingly Gentle Song: After numerous electronic club bangers, they released "Unbreakable", a soft piano ballad. "We Flood the Night" also counts to a lesser extent.
- Thousand-Yard Stare: LuLa often has one.
- What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Specifically, what measure is a mannequin? See the page quote.

The Justice Department on Thursday filed its latest response to Apple in the fight over iPhone encryption, calling the tech giant's rhetoric in the San Bernardino, California, case "false" and "corrosive" of institutions that safeguard rights.
The debate surrounds whether Apple should comply with a court order to help authorities unlock an iPhone used by one of the shooters in last year's San Bernardino attack, which left 14 people dead.
"Here, Apple deliberately raised technological barriers that now stand between a lawful warrant and an iPhone containing evidence related to the terrorist mass murder of 14 Americans. Apple alone can remove those barriers so that the FBI can search the phone, and it can do so without undue burden," the DOJ wrote in the filing.
Apple is due to face the FBI in court later this month. The company, which has said it would have to create software to allow investigators to crack the phone, has argued that doing so could create a dangerous precedent. In a call with reporters Thursday, Apple senior vice president and general counsel Bruce Sewell said the DOJ has become "so desperate" that it has "thrown all decorum to the wind.
"The tone of the brief reads like an indictment," he said.
Sewell called the brief an "unsupported, unsubstantiated effort to vilify Apple." In the call, attorneys for Apple said they plan to file a reply brief, which is due March 15. The attorneys reiterated Apple's position that the disagreement should not be settled in the court system.
Authorities claim they only seek to unlock the device in question. The DOJ reiterated that point Thursday, calling the court order "modest" and arguing it "invades no one's privacy."
"It applies to a single iPhone, and it allows Apple to decide the least burdensome means of complying," the filing said.
Attorneys for Apple questioned Thursday where the limits of the power will stop. Some critics of the court order believe it could lead to a so-called back door through Apple's encryption system. The DOJ contended the case would not give it that power.
Apple, by keeping close control over its software and devices, "maintains a continued connection to its phones," the DOJ's filing said.
"Apple is not some distant, disconnected third party unexpectedly and arbitrarily dragooned into helping solve a problem for which it bears no responsibility," the DOJ wrote.
Many prominent technology companies have backed Apple in the case. Amazon.com, Alphabet's Google, Facebook and Microsoft, among others, recently filed a joint brief in support of Apple.
President Barack Obama will not discuss the dispute on Friday during his keynote address at the South by Southwest music and technology conference, Reuters reported, citing a White House official.
— Reuters contributed to this report.

Who wants to live in a world designed by Vladimir Putin? The number of people who answer "yes" to that question may be rather higher than American and European officials might like to imagine. The Russian president has crafted a narrative about his nation's revitalization as a global power that many of his countrymen clearly appreciate. Chauvinist nationalist leaders elsewhere, such as Marine Le Pen, the head of France's National Front party, admire his success. But Western policymakers typically comfort themselves that Putin's mainstream appeal remains limited. Moscow has not been able to offer a positive vision of a new international system that can compete with, let alone surpass, what the West offers.
Yet over the past week, Putin and his advisers have done a rather good job of outlining the fundamental principles of the world they would like to live in. In this world, sovereign states would not have to deal with irritants such as Western sanctions or international justice. Leaders willing to turn to Moscow for protection could bank on Russian support in moments of crisis. China would bankroll Russia's geopolitical goals, rather than restructure the international system on its own terms.
Russian officials have been pushing these principles in New York, Vienna and the central Russian city of Ufa. In New York, Russia vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Moscow's man at the U.N., Vitaly Churkin, argued that the text drafted by Britain would stir up renewed political tensions in Bosnia. Both Bosnian Serbs and Serbia itself had asked Russia to block the resolution, and Churkin could hardly let down Moscow's most significant remaining allies in the Balkans.

16:15 Discussion: We Reject the Principle of Competition, featuring the Jindřich Chalupecký Award 2020 finalists, moderated by Tereza Jindrová
17:45 Closing Ceremony
The Jindřich Chalupecký Award 2020 finalists chose to view the Award as an opportunity to mutually enrich one another and share a variety of artistic methods, and expressed a collective wish for the Award not to be granted to a single winner. This year, then, for the first time, there was not any laureate elected, and in place of the traditional award ceremony, this one-day celebration bringed together a number of exceptional artistic personalities. During the symposium, the finalists offered personal commentary on the works they created for the PLATO Ostrava gallery exhibition. In addition, some finalists presented live performances or music. The program also included a discussion between finalists and representatives of the international jury, a guided tour of the Jindřich Chalupecký Award exhibition, and an exhibition by foreign guest artists Pauline Boudry and Renate Lorenz. Viewers could also get to know the work of this artistic duo in a broader context through a curated selection of videos from the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein Video-Forum archive contextualizing the new Boudry and Lorenz's choreographic-performative film (No) Time, which made its premiere in Ostrava.
The whole program is translated into both Czech and (Czech) sign language.

everal Aurora ATP-internet site SMIs of different chemotypes are uncovered (fragment based By-ray crystallography or high throughput evaluating) implicating the flexibility in the ATP-binding internet site. Some are pan-Aurora inhibitors and some are Aurora A or B specific[34]. MLN8237 is a bit more Aurora A than B specific by in vitro enzyme assays. In service for this realization, enjoyable docking of MLN8237 to the ATP-binding internet site from the crystal properties of Aurora A and B signifies a much higher docking report (binding affinity) for Aurora A (9.58) than B (7.65), corroborating the in vitro enzyme process facts (Physique 2A). The option of docking of MLN8237 into Aurora A and B although not identical is incredibly identical in a way that at .5-1. μM levels feasible in humans and mice would take both equally energetic online websites creating inhibition of either digestive support enzymes. Body 2Figure 2Figure 2 Determine 2 MLN8237 inhibits Aurora A and B kinase activity and helps bring about polyploidy In accordance with the exciting docking reports it was actually predicted that MLN8237 would hinder both Aurora A and B action. Aurora A kinase task is determined by automobile-phosphorylation of Thr288 within the activation loop. Granta-519 MCL body cells synchronized with nocodazole lead to enhanced Aurora A automobile-phosphorylation on Thr-288 (pT288). Management of these tissue with MLN8237 for 16 h at .25, .5, 1. and two. μM brings about strong inhibition of Aurora A auto-phosphorylation on Thr288. Total Aurora A healthy proteins levels was unchanged on MLN8237 therapy, specifying the lessened pT288 was on account of inhibition of phosphorylation and not just to Aurora A destruction or lower-regulation (Number 2B). Related effects were also revealed in RL and Granta-4 cell queues (data not displayed). The structurally linked Aurora B kinase action seemed to be analyzed in SUDHL-4 tissues for recognition of phospho-Histone H3 (pHisH3) on Ser10, an Aurora B-unique substrate [3]. As predicted, MLN8237 also inhibited HisH3 phosphorylation with out influencing Aurora B healthy proteins degrees (Figure 2B). Therefore, MLN8237 at .25 μM to 2 μM shows inhibition of both Aurora A (pThr288) and B (pHisH3 Ser10) activity and this observation corroborates well with the docking studies (Figure 2A). Pharmacologic inhibition of Auroras (A and B) with ATP-web page SMIs or siRNA knockdown leads to G2/M induction and arrest of your polyploid phenotype is described for stable malignancies [12]. The result of MLN8237 around the cell phone spiral was looked at by checking DNA content utilizing flow cytometry (Shape 2C). Management of the human cancers of the breast mobile phone lines MDA-MB-231 which above-expresses Aurora A as being a constructive command and Granta-4 MCL mobile series with 2 μM MLN8237 for 72 h drastically higher 4N and 8N tissue in accordance with with no treatment tissues. Knockdown of Aurora A by siRNA or shRNA within both mobile facial lines also led to a greater 4N and 8N cell population when compared to command siRNA or shRNA (Physique 2C). Equivalent outcome was also attained with Granta-519, RL and SUDHL-4 B-NHL cell facial lines (info not demonstrated). This implicates that not enough enzyme process sometimes by pharmacologic inhibition or insufficient health proteins leads to G2/M arrest as well as a polyploid phenotype. Therefore, shRNA knockdown of Aurora A or treatment with MLN8237 in Granta 4 cells leads to G2/M arrest, endo-reduplication and results in polyploid and tetraploid states.

Sarcomas undoubtedly are a rare, heterogeneous gang of mesenchymal neoplasms. Systemic chemotherapeutic choices restricted in both range and efficaciousness regarding individuals with state-of-the-art ailment. Doxorubicin is now just about the most regularly used chemotherapeutic agencies pertaining to patients [1]. Meta-analysis connected with nine randomized, multicenter studies [2] has believed answer premiums involving 17-27% regarding single-agent doxorubicin (60-80mg/m2). Nonetheless, there's a severe risk of cardiac accumulation linked to substantial final dosage amounts connected with doxorubicin, besides other side results including a feeling of sickness, anemia, in addition to sacrificed resistant perform. Story tumor-specific objectives intended for chemotherapies would likely boost the available options for sarcoma remedy as well as perhaps slow up the potential unwanted effect user profile connected with recent therapy approaches. Genomic examines involving sarcomas having sophisticated karyotypes have recently revealed fresh variations which can be specific by simply molecularly directed solutions [3]. Essentially the most frequent somatic strains is found in this PIK3CA gene, which usually encodes this catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K). The PI3K pathway is normally linked to epithelial malignancies yet is not totally researched to be a target for sarcoma therapies. Original studies established that your PI3K/mTOR inhibitor BEZ235 restricted growth of Ewing's sarcoma as well as rhabdomyosarcoma xenografts [4]. On the other hand, towards the best of the knowledge, neither PI3K inhibitors neither standard-of-care chemotherapies are actually examined in a very genetically manufactured computer mouse button model of soft-tissue sarcoma. In this review, many of us test the particular efficacy of doxorubicin and a couple PI3K inhibitors (BKM120 as well as BEZ235) in an immunocompetent kind of temporally-and spatially-restricted soft-tissue sarcoma. We now have formerly used the Cre-loxP process throughout mice to help switch on conditional versions throughout Kras and Trp53 (LSL-KrasG12D; p53flox/flox) simply by intramuscular shipping and delivery of Cre recombinase to build high-grade primary soft-tissue sarcomas [5]. Cross-species genomic study stated this particular tumour type many closely is similar to people undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (Fedex) [6]. Because design will be temporally-and spatially-restricted, cancer size as well as response to therapy can be checked. The following, most of us make use of this model to check your response involving main computer mouse button sarcomas to help doxorubicin and to hang-up on the PI3K pathway with BKM120 (PI3K inhibitor) and also BEZ235 (twin inhibitor of PI3K along with mTOR), both equally furnished by Novartis. Service from the PI3K pathway through expansion signals sets off any signaling stream causing phosphorylation regarding AKT, activation of mTOR, and following phosphorylation on the ribosomal subunit S6 [7]. Consequently, the juxtaposition on the pan-PI3K chemical (BKM120) and the PI3K/mTOR double chemical (BEZ235) may possibly disclose information and facts concerning the variety of upcoming molecularly qualified remedies intended for soft-tissue sarcomas. Just before entering in vivo verification in the ingredients, all of us first screened your agents throughout vitro having tissues created from principal sarcomas inside LSL-KrasG12D; p53flox/flox these pests. The sarcoma cells were being treated with often the dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor BEZ235 and the PI3K chemical BKM120 for 18 hours prior to pick. This BEZ235-treated tissues shown lessened degrees of phospho-S6, a new compound downstream of the mTOR pathway (Determine A single). Moreover, this BKM120-treated cells proven decreased numbers of phospho-S6, exhibiting the actual PI3K pathway had been limited as a result of self-consciousness in this downstream target. These kinds of data report that BEZ235 therapy within mouse button sarcoma cellular material effectively prevents focuses on in the mTOR pathway in addition to BKM120 treatment method brings about self-consciousness connected with PI3K pathway objectives.

In 2013, the United Nations proclaimed 3 March as World Wildlife Day, making it a day on which we celebrate wildlife and overall biodiversity that make our planet so special. The goal of educating the public on the importance of preserving and protecting all species on Earth is to raise awareness of each individual on the meaning of safeguarding every species as an indispensable link in the chain of overall biodiversity.
This year's theme is "Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation". Only together, acting as partners on the international, regional and local levels, can we successfully overcome obstacles and preserve wildlife in all its glory.
Nature, together with all its wildlife and biodiversity, acts as a free source of food, medicine, clothing material, fuel and other essentials each human needs. Many species have irretrievably vanished as a result of our actions before we had a chance to study their role in nature and their influence on us as a part of nature. Numerous plant and fungal species are the source of medicine whose effect we do not know yet, and with their disappearance we lose all hope of finding cures they could provide.
Habitat destruction, invasive species, hunting and fishing, as well as the deliberate taking of species from nature with the intention of using them as beautiful and decorative specimens or pets, or just taking individual parts of plant and/or animal species from nature, bring these, but also many other species that depend on them to the brink of extinction.
That is why, only by acting as partners on all levels of our society and by behaving responsibly can we preserve species, biodiversity and nature in its integrity and beauty and safeguard it so that our future generations can use it unhindered and freely.

These top CVT transmission fluids will keep your car running smoothly.
We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. Learn more ›
Unless you're a diehard proponent of a stick shift and are holding steadfast to traditional gear changing, your car probably has a CVT. These transmissions smoothly move between an unrestricted number of gear ratios during driving, resulting in increased fuel economy and an easier time with hilly terrain. Now, a CVT system won't work its vehicular magic on its own — you have to feed it a healthy supply of transmission fluid.
And, if you really want your transmission to hum, using the best CVT fluids is the only way to go. To help you along, we've sourced the best CVT fluids on the market, along with tips on taking care of your transmission.
Valvoline Continuously Variable Transmission Fluid
This transmission fluid can be used in most belt and chain-driven CVTs. It's formulated with premium synthetic base stocks, long-life friction modifiers, special anti-wear additives, and shear stable viscosity modifiers.
- Fluid is compatible with new car warranties
- Offers high-level wet clutch performance
- Prevents wear and tear on gears
- Cost-effective option
- Not suitable for Ford hybrids or Toyota CVT rides
- Creates a strong odor requiring ample ventilation
Cam 2 Full Synthetic CVT Fluid
Affordable and effective, this automatic transmission treatment features lubricating additives on top of its existing base stock formula. It improves shifting ease when moving into higher gears.
- Protects internal components from friction wear
- Limits risk of transmission shudder
- Not prone to thickening if exposed to high heat
- Not suitable to all vehicles on the market
- Only use on vehicles using a belt- or pulley-type transmission
Castrol Transmax Universal Fluid
Formulated to be a universally-compatible transmission fluid, this synthetic treatment is a blend of base oils and special additives to improve lubricating ability. Coming in a full gallon, it makes transmission upkeep easy.
- Extremely durable against wear and tear
- Drastically limits the friction coefficient between internal hardware
- Limited risk of corrosion due to oxidation
- Improves overall vehicle performance
- Because it is universal, not CVT-specific, it may cause warranty issues
- Higher price point than other comparable products
Types of CVT Fluid
CVT-Specific Fluid
Not all continuously variable transmissions are made alike. In fact, there are three subtypes of these transmissions: pulley, toroidal, and hydrostatic. The first is also called a belt-run system. It uses interconnected pulleys as opposed to gears to complete transitions. Toroidal models rely on rollers and discs to get the job done. A hydrostatic model relies on pumps to control fluid and rotational movement. Because of the different hardware employed to achieve gear transitions, there are available fluids to accommodate the specific target friction coefficient of each subtype. If you are looking to go the extra mile in caring for your transmission, though these might cost a bit extra, the specialized formula often makes it worth it.
OEM Transmission Fluid
This type of transmission fluid has a big market share, partly due to its compatibility with service contracts. It's usually made by a subsidiary of the manufacturer itself, meaning the formula is curated to that exact vehicle — factoring in things like heat dissemination and engine model. There are some OEM transmission fluids that are fairly versatile, boasting a long list of vehicles with which they are compatible, while others only work on select models.
Universal Transmission Fluid
There are two ways to break down the concept of universal transmission fluid. The first is the most common: CVT fluid that works on all continuously variable transmissions. If it's touted as a universal model, you can expect it to work whether your car relies on a pulley system or hydrostatic setup. Preferred to those newer to car maintenance, you can find high-end formulas, complete with effective base oils and efficient additives.
The other approach to universal transmission fluid is when the formula reportedly works on both ATF and CVTs. Some companies have achieved impressive results with these synthetic formulas; but, unless the product has proven itself on the market, avoid this type. If you end up with a solution that is actually meant for an ATF transmission, you could do serious (and irreparable damage to the vehicle). If you're looking for universal use, make sure it is a CVT-specific universal application.
CVT Fluid Pricing
- $15 to $20: This is typically what you will pay for a quart of CVT fluid. A manufacturer's "genuine" CVT fluid maybe a little more expensive than a universal brand.
- Over $50: Expect to pay this amount for 6 quarts of transmission fluid. Pay attention to the quantity because some brands sell quarts, while others sell gallons of transmission fluid. European brands favor liters.
Best CVT Fluids Reviews & Recommendations 2021
Valvoline's full-synthetic CVT transmission fluid is designed for most belt- and chain-driven continuously variable transmissions. The fluid has a variety of special features, such as superior synthetic base stocks, metal-to-metal protection, long-life friction modifiers, anti-wear additives, and shear stable viscosity modifiers.
The fluid provides great anti-shudder durability, wet-clutch performance, and anti-wear performance. It is also engineered to flow well at low temperatures and provide greater protection at high temperatures. Added benefits are that it's not as costly as OEM fluid and it will not void a new car warranty.
The biggest drawback with this lubricant is that it's not designed for Toyota or Ford hybrid CVT vehicles. In addition, it emits a very strong odor, and in certain makes and models it might not perform as well as OEM transmission fluid.
Want a transmission fluid that won't break the bank (or your transmission), Cam 2 Full Synthetic CVT Fluid is worth looking into. For starters, it's not very different from the other formulas in that it uses a set of base oils and additives to create lubrication.
Where it stands out is affordable. It comes in a full quart, sufficient to swap out the fluid in your vehicle. After opening, transmission fluid starts to lose its chemical edge, so it's a useful container. With an anti-spill container, this option is easy to use. Made entirely out of synthetic materials, the artificial nature of the chemicals lends to a higher flash point (better heat tolerance) and overall added lubrication. The formula is crafted to limit oxidation risks and control friction on belt-type CVTs. Ideal for those looking to save upfront, and down the line in terms of limiting transmission wear and tear, this fluid has a lot of value.
The only drawback is that this fluid is only designed for belt-operated CVT systems. It's easily the most common kind, but it doesn't make up the entire CVT market. Be sure that your vehicle is compatible before you make your pick.
Just about every driver in America is familiar with the Castrol name, and for good reason. The Castrol Transmax Universal Transmission Fluid was crafted with the wisdom of almost a century of research and development.
It stands out from the rest as a functional option for both CVTs and ATFs, something that is not often seen. Coming in a full-gallon container, it offers improved friction control, meant to lubricate without compromising the function of the gear setup (a tricky balance to strike). It is specifically formulated to resist oxidation, meaning rust and corrosion are far less of a risk. Since it can handle impressively high temperatures, it's suited to older vehicles where the engine is prone to overheating. Excellent at managing corrosion on copper, it works on the vast majority of vehicles on the market. If you're unsure about what type of transmission fluid to use, this fluid makes the selection process easy.
Keep in mind that warranties must be kept in mind when changing transmission fluid. If you are still covered under a service contract, since this is universally-compatible and not CVT-specific fluid, make sure you aren't breaking any rules.
It can be a feat to find a large supply of transmission fluid for a fleet of racing cars or for a commercial garage. It's even trickier to find something that's reasonably priced without having to go through a wholesaler. The Amalie Universal Synthetic CVT Fluid set of a dozen, one-quart bottles solves both these issues. It's compatible with any type of CVT system, meaning you don't have to worry about belt versus pulley systems. This synthetic formula is ideal for outboard motors, designed to withstand that extra level of wear and tear.
Now, a full 12 bottles might seem like a lot, but this formula's universal design lends itself to a surprising amount of versatility. You can use it on both ATF and CVT systems, ranging from your chain saw to motorcycle to side-by-side. Provided the bottles aren't opened left on a shelf, you can expect the formula to remain effective for quite some time. Optimizing lubrication and extending the lifespan of any vehicle, this earns an honorable mention.
It is worth noting that the upfront investment is a bit hefty, especially if you aren't dealing in bulk. You only need to swap out transmission fluid roughly once every 30,000 miles. If you have plans for a dozen quarts of fluid, it's an awesome pick. Otherwise, getting a smaller quantity is probably a better idea.
If you're one of the many to opt for Nissan rides, the Idemitsu Type N Plus Transmission Fluid is a worthy candidate for your ride. It might not be flashy or universally compatible, but the formula is curated specifically to work on a Nissan.
Meant to improve fuel economy, this formula is meant to reach a higher viscosity at a lower temperature. Basically, your engine doesn't have to heat up substantially in order for the lubrication to be thin enough to work. Highly resistant to oxidation, because of its insensitivity to heat, the fluid retains its molecular integrity over a longer period. Keeping everything running smoothly in your Nissan, this CVT fluid is a great choice for those looking to take care of their ride in the best way possible.
It's worth noting that there are specific recommendations on using this fluid, namely for Nissan Infinities. You can apply this formula to anything with an NS-2 spec, so check your owner's manual to make sure this will work with your ride.
Transmission fluid is notorious for issues with foaming, especially as vehicles get older and the cooler attached to the radiator stops performing as well. Lucas Synthetic CVT Fluid is a solid choice for this situation since the chemicals used are designed specifically to avoid foam.
It's compatible with both belt- and chain-style CVT systems, meaning you can use it in almost any vehicle with one of these transmissions. Coming in a single quart this high-viscosity fluid is built to work with the transmission to keep things running smoothly. Thanks to its hydrophobic structure, foam isn't an issue, nor is the resulting oxidation. It both improves performance and keeps your vehicle working for longer. A popular brand in the off-road industry, this is a good pick if you're maintaining a racing vehicle or ATV.
Keep in mind that this formula includes additives to make it less sensitive to heat. However, if you live in a colder climate, the same chemicals can choke up. This might only be an issue in minus 50-degree conditions, but it's still worth noting if you live in a cold area.
There is perhaps no name more synonymous with quality cars and America than General Motors, and the ACDelco Dex-CVT Fluid lives up to the hype. ACDelco, the branch of GM that deals with OEM products, crafted a winner with this formula. For starters, it is built to accommodate all types of weather (hot or cold). It's meant for any type of CVT, designed specifically to optimize the friction coefficient between gear ratios. The result is a smoother transition between gears, giving you that seamless ascent and descent that's necessary in mountainous areas. Both affordable and effective, it is able to enable the engine to maintain its max RPM while accelerating without interruption. Featuring a green color as opposed to the standard red, it stands out as a classic CVT solution.
One downside is that it only comes in a container of 32 ounces as opposed to a quart (or sometimes a gallon) featured by other suppliers. Yes, the quality is high, but it would be an even more attractive choice if it came with more fluid.
Red Line's CVT fluid is for metal belt-type CVTs, included in vehicles such as Nissan, Subaru, and Daihatsu. The formula has anti-wear additives for better metal-to-metal protection and is designed to perform efficiently in a broad temperature range. It extends drain intervals and improves thermal stability as well as shear characteristics.
Red Line's Non-Slip Continuously Variable Transmission Fluid maintains viscosity levels, reduces oxidation, and has a low volatility at high temperatures to prevent valves and clutches from varnishing. It's a good product to use if you want to eliminate the whining noise that can indicate your transmission is overheating.
However, this fluid is not recommended for use in Honda vehicles that have wet-start clutches or Audis with clutch-type continuously variable transmissions. It's also not for use in toroidal or dry units.

Vanilla pound cake with fresh peaches & blueberries is a simple dessert that can be made with pantry staples and is highly customizable depending on what fruits are in season!
I don't think there's anything better than peach season in Texas. Granted, this is my first one, but it's proving to be all that I dreamed it would be! The juiciness and the size of the peaches down here is amazing — I know the season will be gone in a few weeks so I'm doing all I can to eat my fill in the meantime.
Pound cake is a dessert we had pretty often at home. Usually it was the classic sliced pound cake with strawberries that had been hanging out in a sugary syrup and topped with cool whip. I'm not sure there's a more widely loved dessert and it just screams home to me!
What I love most about this idea for a dessert is that it can be made with pantry staples, and there are a wide variety of recipes out there depending on what you have in the cupboard. Sour cream, butter, greek yogurt, oil – if you've got any combination of those things along with eggs, sugar, and flour, chances are you have the ingredients to make a pound cake! Then, round up your spare fruit and you've got a dessert. Whipped cream optional, but highly recommended 😉

"Increasing refinancing pressure, greater government tolerance of defaults, sluggish manufacturing and industrial sector growth and weaker investor sentiment amid US-China trade tension re-escalation will likely push defaults rates higher," said a Fitch Ratings spokeswoman.
The credit ratings agency expects 2019 defaults to hit a record high by issuer count and principal amount. Last year, 45 individual bonds with a value of RMB110.5 billion ($16bn) defaulted on their offshore or domestic issues, according the Fitch report published this week.
Twenty-two companies defaulted on 47 onshore bonds worth RMB31bn in the first four months of this year, while other issuers claim to have repaid bonds directly to bondholders instead of through clearing houses since March, which allowed them to hide late payments from publicity, according to Fitch.
"This means the actual number of corporate bond defaults may have been understated in recent months."
Rival ratings agency Moody's Investors Service has also warned about rising Chinese corporate defaults.
Meanwhile, the China government's rescue of Baoshang Bank last week has raised worries about contagion within the Chinese financial sector amid a destabilising, unchecked build-up in bad debt, according to the Financial Times.
Renminbi-based fixed income funds posted negative returns in May, with the average return of funds authorised for sale to retail investors in Hong Kong and/or Singapore down 2.12%, according to FE Analytics.
Yet the best three-year returns (and year-to-date) returns have been earned by funds with wide exposure to corporate issuers – either denominated in US dollars or renminbi.
These include China bond funds managed by BEA Union Investment, Income Partners and Bank of China (Hong Kong).
In fact, the worst laggards over most periods are funds invested mainly in China government bonds or, especially, state-owned policy banks.
For instance, the contrast between one of the best performing funds over three years, the Income Partners Managed Volatility High Yield (16.49%), and one of the worst, the same manager's RMB Bond Fund (-6.36%) is stark: the former invests almost entirely in private sector corporate bond, whereas the top five holdings of the latter are all China government entities, including a 35% weighting to China Development Bank, as at 30 April, according to the fund's factsheet.
The poor performance of government (and state-linked) bonds is hardly encouraging for overseas investors compelled to enter the Chinese government bond market, following inclusion into the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Index last month.

"The path of immortality is hard, and only a few
find it. The rest await the Great Day when the wheels of the universe shall be stopped and the immortal sparks shall escape from the sheathes of substance. Woe unto those who wait, for they must return again, unconscious and unknowing, to the seed-ground of stars, and await a new beginning."
"Perils, and misfortunes, and want, and pain, and injury,
are more or less the certain lot of everyone that cometh into the world. It behooveth thee, therefore, O child of calamity! early to fortify thy mind with courage and patience that thou mayest support, with a becoming resolution, thy allotted portion of human evil."
Your assignment post is essentially correct. This teaching of truth is important to be understood. Firstly, any knowledge that can be perceived by the mind in the realm of time and space is necessarily relative because time and space (the Creation, the universe) is itself relative; relative to what? –relative to the absolute which is beyond time and space. A human being needs mind in order to understand successive higher levels of truth in time and space and when ready, the human ceases to use mind and intellect (Djehuty) to understand things and instead uses intuition (Aset) to go beyond time and space and discover the ultimate, which is also known as the absolute, Neberdjer, neter an ren (divinity with no name or form), etc. Having discovered this level of consciousness then there are no more truths to learn and all that is to be known has been achieved.
So just as a child in elementary school is taught arithmetic and one in high school is taught algebra and one in college is taught calculus and one in graduate school is taught quantum physics, in the same way there are levels of spiritual aspiration but the study is not all acquisition of higher knowledge, that is part of it; the other part is purification to clear the egoistic blockages preventing understanding. One who like worldly life, having more children, more money to travel and experience sense pleasures, more opportunities for sex, more feeling of pride in culture, political power, etc. will not allow their mind to contemplate issues that impinge upon or curtail their belief system and self-serving philosophy that allows them to pursue those egoistic goals.
One who has reached a certain level of maturity to start realizing the folly of the aforesaid, well this person is called a maturing spiritual aspirant and is worthy to be initiated into the wisdom of the temple. So those who may read this brief essay and react in thought and feeling saying "yes right on"! Then they are aspirants worthy of the teaching! Those who say "well I have to think about this more" or "maybe I will adopt it later", and the like; those who pursue "absolute vodka" instead of absolute and abiding higher consciousness, well those need more time with the partner of the preceptor: the school of hard knocks!
(i.e. hey need more worldly experiences of pursuing desires only to experience frustration and ultimate loss in the end before they can settle and accept the truth of the human predicament and apply their energies to the solution of spiritual enlightenment)

After a decade of action in response to global poverty, climate change, food and migration risks, and tax evasion, we have begun to see a strong reason for the broader problems in the fact that different social groups (not only in the Czech Republic) are not talking and working together enough.
So we have moved from advocating for particularist views in campaigns, schools and policy to connecting - understanding critical challenges in a broader context, having more honest dialogue, building good relationships, respect and trust between different perspectives, finding common denominators and coordinating practical collaboration between different groups of civil society organisations, but also investors or officials, on challenges that cut across all of these groups.
We believe that such cross-cutting collaboration leads to a more resilient polis - a model of society not only more internally cohesive but also more externally accountable.
We are Glopolis - an analytical and networking centre with 18 years of experience in research, education, monitoring and negotiating the public policies and coordination in the non-profit sector.
Our vision is a collaborative society in which diverse people work together in the public interest and which provides an enabling environment for such collaboration.
Our mission is to connect people and organizations to collaborate for sustainable democracy. We seek out and expand the field of shared aspirations of civil society organizations, government officials, politicians and businesses and engage them in solving societal challenges.
By adopting the Policy on the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults, Glopolis, o.p.s. publicly commits itself to protecting children and particularly vulnerable adults from all forms of abuse and maltreatment.

Developed by CyberConnect2, Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles is a third-person action-adventure game that is playable on PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
Demon Slayer is the story of a young man known as Tanjiro, a young man who hopes to crush the demonkind. Before the events of the game, a demon attacked and killed his family while he was away. One sister survived but wasn't treated much better because she was turned into a savage demon. We take on the role of Tanjiro just as he is about to complete the final step in his training to become a true demon slayer. Once you've done that, your goal is to avenge the deaths of your family by killing the demon that murdered them and hopefully finding a cure for your sister somewhere along the way. Doesn't the tale seem intriguing? Even more thrilling than before, players from all over the world adore the gameplay. However, one issue that perplexes PC players is how to backup the game's save data. At least for the time being, neither the game's options nor the developers' explanations are very clear. This prompts us to consider how we can manually backup the game's data to ensure that we don't lose our valuable progress if we ever accidentally delete the game or switch to a new PC.

T.I. wins 2 awards from prison; Kayne a no-show at BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta
Posted: Sunday – October 11, 2009
T.I. didn't need to attend the BET Hip-Hop Awards to win two trophies on Saturday.
The rapper, who is locked up in an Arkansas penitentiary on a federal weapons conviction, won the best collaboration award with Rhianna for the song "Live Your Life" and the album of the year award for "Paper Trail." His fiancee Tameka "Tiny" Cottle accepted his awards at the ceremony in Atlanta and read a letter by the rapper, who began serving a yearlong sentence in late May.
"Although I'm not there with you all, I'm there in spirit," Cottle quoted the rapper as writing. "My road to redemption is almost over. … Thanks for the support."
Jay-Z was honored as the "MVP of the Year," while Drake took home "Rookie of the Year," and Ice Cube received the "I Am Hip-Hop" icon award.
Ice Cube said he was humbled by the award, and he believes his career as filmmaker could earn him more honors in the future. He helped launch the gangsta rap genre with the group NWA, and he starred in "Barbershop" and "Friday," which he also co-wrote.
"When you get recognized by your peers for a life of work, you got to be humbled," the rap veteran said. "I'm honored by this. I have 20 more years of work left in me. I hope (BET) is ready to give out two of these awards."
Rapper Busta Rhymes presented the award for "DJ of the Year" to DJ AM, the celebrity spinner who died of an accidental drug overdose in August.
Kanye West, meanwhile, couldn't hijack the stage, because the rapper was a no-show. West had been expected to attend the fourth annual awards show. He fell under scrutiny for interrupting Taylor Swift's award-winning moment at last month's MTV Video Music Awards.
Jay-Z took the stage with Young Jeezy to perform "Real as It Gets" and rap group Goodie Mob performed its 1995 song "Cell Therapy."
The award show will air on Oct. 27.

What's Prison For?: Punishment and Rehabilitation in the Age of Mass Incarceration
In partnership with:
About the Event:
What happens inside our prisons?
What's Prison For? examines the "incarceration" part of "mass incarceration." What happens inside prisons and jails, where nearly two million Americans are held?
Pulitzer Prize Winner Bill Keller, one of America's most accomplished journalists, has spent years immersed in the subject. He argues that the most important role of prisons is preparing incarcerated people to be good neighbors and good citizens when they return to society, as the overwhelming majority will.
Keller takes us inside the walls of our prisons, where we meet men and women who have found purpose while in state custody; American corrections officials who have set out to learn from Europe's state-of-the-art prison campuses; a rehab unit within a Pennsylvania prison, dubbed Little Scandinavia, where lifers serve as mentors; a college behind bars in San Quentin; a women's prison that helps imprisoned mothers bond with their children; and Keller's own classroom at Sing Sing.
Surprising in its optimism, What's Prison For? is an indispensable guide on how to improve our prison system, and a powerful argument that the status quo is a shameful waste of human potential.
His acclaimed book, What's Prison For? Punishment and Rehabilitation in the Age of Mass Incarceration, will be available at the event.
About the Speaker:
Bill Keller is founding editor-in-chief of the Marshall Project, an independent nonprofit news organization focused on crime and punishment in the U.S. For 8 years, he was the Executive Editor of The New York Times, and during his 30 years with The Times, he also worked as a correspondent and op-ed columnist.
As a foreign correspondent, he reported on the collapse of the Soviet Union, winning a Pulitzer Prize in 1989. Following Moscow, he became chief of the Times bureau in Johannesburg, covering the end of white rule in South Africa. During his eight years as executive editor, from 2003 to 2011, the Times won 18 Pulitzer Prizes.

Comfort Height Toliets
Who writes a blog about toilets? Well, I guess I do. When I moved into my condo I had the smallest toilets. I had to give people a warning so they would be aware, it was a big drop down before your butt hits. For someone with MS, this created a very big problem. There were times I slid right off the toilet. Then there were other times I couldn't quite get off the toilet. It was so low down I need it too much of my leg muscles to push me back up. On those bad days my legs couldn't do it. I'd have to brace myself against the sink and the tub pull myself up from the towels on the towel rack, it was ridiculous. Needless to say I needed new toilets.
Yesterday my toilets were finally put in. Of course nothing can just go smooth, like a toilet comes out a new toilet goes in. I had to get a specific toilet with a back valve which is only made really in commercial toilets. It's took me forever to find mine in that comfort height in a color other than white. When I finally did I had to pay a lot more than I really wanted to for a toilet. Plus the fact that I needed two. The biggest problem with our bathrooms is the toilet isn't sitting on the tile like most toilets are. My toilets were actually placed in the ground into the cement and everything was made around the toilets. So we literally had to dig the toilet out before the new toilet could go in. The new toilet had to be put in the same way. The installer had to cut through tile and cement to make room for the new piece.
What the installer thought was going to take no more than an hour and a half ended up taking 5 1/2. The cutting of the tiles produced so much dust that my condo has a layer everywhere that I need to clean. You know how dust is, it so annoying, you wipe it down and then it kind of settles again. Yesterday I wiped a lot of things down and I woke up this morning and it's back. So I guess today I'm going to spend the day dusting, mopping and vacuuming. However I must say being able to sit and get off of the toilet is such a wonderful thing. It made me so happy, I just had to blog about it. I never thought in my life a toilet would make such a difference.

As you know cats and mice are against each other and never have something in common.
This is a contrary story about a cat and a mouse. The cat lived in a big family where he ate, slept, played and spend his time. The cat didn't have any friends around him and tried to get some.
Once he saw a small mouses rushing right and left to the room and was afraid seeing the cat. As a rule cat don't like mice ,but that time was exception. The chase after the mouses without harming it.
Liked with his paws. It was so funny and exciting because events like that happened rarely. At first the poor mouse was very afraid but then got used to the cat. Soon they became friends , played together and even did bad tricks.
One night when everybody was asleep the cat with his small helper went to the kitchen to search some food. There was a big and pleasant pie baked by the woman in that family. They spoilt the pie, ate without leaving any piece on the plate.
Hearing noises the woman went to check what was happening. To her surprise she saw the mouse and the cat in the kitchen and spoilt pie which she had made for the next day.

Missed the 1 July EU VAT reform deadline? Don't worry, it's not too late to register
If you missed the EU VAT reform starting from July 1, it's not too late to register. We've shared a lot of information over the last few weeks to prepare businesses for the changes, but remember: July 1 marked the introduction of Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) – it's not a hard deadline.
Register at any time
The IOSS is an ongoing opportunity, which means that you can register for the scheme at any point. It's important that as a seller, you're meeting the conditions to be registered for IOSS. Before going ahead with registration, you will need to ensure you have all the processes in place to ensure a positive outcome. For example, some sellers aren't displaying VAT at point of sale which then slows down the registration process.
Streamline the transactional process
Not being registered won't affect your ability to trade, but it can limit your options for sending goods.
The complex process of shipping needs to be well coordinated between the seller and the relevant stakeholders, including the manufacturer, retailer or wholesaler, to ensure an efficient service and acceptable timelines for the customer.
The existing Delivered-At-Place (DAP) model can see sellers paying additional shipping costs, whether a sale happens or not. However, the introduction of the IOSS is designed to make the process of online transactions easier for everyone involved. For sellers, this means an improved import and sales process from start to finish. For your customers, the shopping experience is more efficient and user-friendly.
As a result of the introduction of IOSS and its associated benefits, there are an increasing number of logistics providers opting to solely facilitate IOSS consignments. In short, IOSS is a better model overall for the whole ecommerce lifecycle.
If you've not registered yet, don't worry. Whether you're an EU or non-EU seller, you can still take advantage of accessing the market to streamline and simplify the VAT payment process.
The benefits of registering for IOSS are:
Goods that are shipped in this way are eligible for an expedited customs process, which means that the changes are facilitating efficient delivery times. The traditional method can result in consignments held at customs due to incorrect paperwork or unpaid VAT.
Compliance is easy. IOSS enables you to trade with a single VAT registration and one VAT return to cover you for all sales below €150 across the EU.
There are no hidden fees, which boosts customer loyalty and overall experience. Prior to its launch, customers would place an order for one price, but be faced with unexpected charges such as VAT and handling fees in order to collect their parcel.
Under IOSS your business will be registered in one country instead of each individual country so you will only need to be aware of the IOSS rules in the country you are registered as opposed to each individual EU country.
You will benefit from not having to facilitate real-time import VAT payments for each consignment directly to Customs Authorities or through the logistics company.
You can benefit from reclaiming the VAT back on returned products which was previously very difficult under the old DDP model where the customer is listed as the import of record.
Previously under the DDP model you would be required to pay clearance/disbursement charges to your logistic provider.
We can help. If you have further questions about how to register for IOSS or if you would like further advice or support on how to sign up for IOSS, speak to the Avalara team today.
Avalara's end-to-end IOSS solution
Sell to all 27 EU member states with just one VAT return. Get your business ready with Avalara's end-to-end IOSS solution.

It's been 10 years since Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shoshanna waltzed into our lives with their 20-something problems in New York City.
Somehow, it all seemed a lot more simple back then, didn't it?
Girls, the groundbreaking HBO comedy created by Lena Dunham, premiered a decade ago and while the show was often a lightning rod for conversation and debate, its legacy as a perfect distillation of big city life in the mid-2010s remains intact.
Starring Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet, the show depicted the often very messy and complicated—but always honest—lives of four friends in New York, as they attempted to navigate work, relationships, family and heartbreak. Lots and lots of heartbreak.
The show was nominated for 19 Emmys over the course of its six seasons and won the Golden Globe for Best Television Series—Comedy or Musical in 2013.
Girls also helped launch the career of now two-time Oscar nominee Adam Driver, who played Dunham's love interest on the show.
Since Girls ended in 2017, the core cast members have all gone on to find other successes. Dunham has developed multiple television projects and premiered her film Sharp Stick at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, Williams starred in 2017's horror phenomenon Get Out, Kirke is set to star in Hulu's Conversations with Friends and Mamet currently stars on HBO Max's The Flight Attendant.
And yet, we can't help but wonder if we'll ever get to see our Girls together again.
According to Dunham, fans shouldn't get their hopes up—at least not yet.
"We all recognize it's not time yet," Dunham told The Hollywood Reporter in January. "I want it to be at a moment when the characters' lives have really changed. Right now, everyone would just be wanting to see Kylo Ren."
Dunham is joking about Driver, who leapt from Girls to a galaxy far, far away, playing Kylo Ren in three Star Wars films.
While Hannah and her friends won't be returning to us anytime soon, maybe we can cross our fingers for an And Just Like That...-style reboot down the road.
We just hope that they wouldn't drag us to any comedy concerts.
For more on reboot and revival plans for more of your favorite shows, read on.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Casino Online
Whether you're a novice to casino online or a seasoned pro, there are a number of important things to consider when choosing an online casino. While the sheer number of options available may be tempting, you should also consider how you'll be using the site. For the best mobile casino experience, choose one that is optimized for mobile devices. Although most top casinos offer apps for smartphones, mobile browsers are also an excellent choice. Mobile-friendly casinos should also offer a wide selection of games – eight is a good starting point; more is better.
One of the most important components of any live casino is the dealer. These dealers are the life of the live casino and control the flow of each game. They must be warm and outgoing, while at the same time being able to cope with the pressure of a real-life casino. In addition to this, they must be able to deal with the pressure of constantly handling massive sums of money. Therefore, it's vital to select a casino with a professional dealer who is up to the task.
While land-based casinos have been in operation for decades in the United States, online casinos have recently become more popular and have become a popular alternative for many players. Although online casinos offer the same gambling experience as brick-and-mortar venues, there's no need to travel to a casino to play. Most sites offer mobile gambling options, so you can bet while you're on the go. You can even play blackjack online – you can even play on your phone!
Technology is constantly evolving, and the advancement of virtual reality and augmented reality will only further the online casino experience. Soon, virtual casinos will have more detailed graphics, and players will be able to interact with the cards on the screen. And thanks to the evolution of 5G technology, gamers will be able to enjoy super-fast internet speeds! Besides this, all promotions are subject to terms and conditions, so it's essential to read the fine print before engaging in gambling online.
One of the best ways to make a good deposit at a casino online is to sign up for a bonus. The first step is locating a site that accepts your currency. Most online casinos offer bonuses for depositing with Bitcoin, which is very convenient for some players. Also, check out the payment methods available – many sites accept Bitcoins – and make sure to read the terms and conditions of the site before depositing. Ultimately, the goal should be to make the casino experience as fun as possible.
If you'd prefer to play a live casino, the best way to do so is through a live dealer website. These sites feature a special live casino section. Usually, you'll log in to a gaming lobby before joining a live session. Once you're in the live casino, you'll either place bets with computerised chips or bets directly with a live dealer. While the online version is easier to use, live dealers often have different rules than their virtual counterparts.
