Best Online Casinos
In terms of bonuses and games, they're incredibly close to UK and EU operators. Fans of live casino games will feel right at home at Magic Red Casino. Not too many casino sites will have a better offering in this regard, bringing the actual casino feel right into your home.
Themed around that fantasy-based fairy-tale that we all remember as children, Jack and the Beanstalk, this slot has the complete package when it comes to video slots. Who knows, perhaps the magic beans could lead you to some 'giants' in terms of payouts. Planet of the Apes is another excellent slot from the NetEnt. Having been given the license to release a slot based on the popular movie franchise, NetEnt has once again churned out something of fantastic quality. The most prominent feature that Book of 99 has is its Return To Player. The RTP rate of this slot by Relax Gaming is 99%, which is quite astonishing.
Traditional casino payment methods include Visa/Mastercard debit and credit cards. Then, there are various Ewallet services like Skrill, Neteller, PayPal, Mifinity, Jeton and ecoPayz. Prepaid online payment options based on vouchers include Paysafecard. For direct bank-to-merchant payments, you can use instant online banking solutions such as Trustly, Zimpler, Klarna, and Giropay. Due to the nature of online gaming, the availability of 24-hour customer care is a must.
Each aspect of this site has its own section, so players can easily find the games that they are interested in. The Random Number Generator creates an equal environment for all players, and there are no shortcuts. Casinos don't give a guarantee of how much the player can win. This makes sense because randomicity is the key and makes gambling what it is. Besides, the list of the best casinos is constantly updating.
Yet, of course, we must touch upon the wide assortment of games provided. Brits can find hundreds of top-notch progressives, slots, video poker, table games, and speciality games. Its game library is quite diverse and filled with over 1.500 games from high-class providers.
Do remember to check the casino's withdrawal policy regarding the maximum cashout allowed https://mechanicfaq.com/news/cryptocurrency-privacy.html for a payment method in a given time period. You can usually find this on their 'Terms and Conditions' page, or on the 'Cashout Policy' page. Top European online casinos have the shortest pending periods, and frequently pay out within 24 hours or in one business day. Over the years, Casumo has delivered many jackpot winners, thanks to a comprehensive library of big jackpot titles. We love playing their exciting Reel Races – fast-paced slot tournaments that come with great cash prizes.
Games are aplenty here, but bonuses take your experience to a whole different level. From rewards to playing exclusive games with free spins to reload bonuses on every deposit, this site packs a punch when it comes to prizes and player experience. For getting money to and from your account, you'll find that every gambling site accepts a variety of payment methods. You can use debit, credit cards, e-wallets or bank transfers to fund your account and cash out your profits. When cashing out large wins from online Canadian casinos, you may be asked to provide proof of identity and residence.
How Do You Know If Youre Starting To Develop A Gambling Problem?
There are some sites around which try to lure you in with a generous signup offer, but then abandon you. The top brands know that retaining customers is more important than bringing in new ones, so they will treat you well. For instance, the 350% reward for new Cafe Casino players who make their first deposit using Bitcoin. Here, you don't automatically lose your stake on an even money bet when the ball lands on 0. While "en prison" sees your bet held in place for the next spin, giving an opportunity to win it back. Yes France is in Europe, but these guys play with a few slightly different rules.
Therefore, you're giving up quantity for getting access to something that's a bit different. Mansion Casino is no stranger to frequently updating its offers. This is a very important factor, which ensures that the users are always able to find something of their interest. These include frequent drops and wins, as well as getting access to special offers.
Investigating the industry regularly for the best online casino for you, we designed lists with a simple and useful interface. This list is constantly renewed to make sure it's timely and actual. Still after reviewing hundreds of online casinos, we must say that only around 20-30% of all the new casinos manage to make an impression. This of course relates to the fact that a lot of sites work under Curacao gaming license which is not the most reliable one . Luckily there is a great number of brilliant casinos that operate from Malta, Sweden, Estonia and other EU countries.
Exciting Competitions For Our Players
Online casinos don't like you to know the bonus wagering requirements, but our reviews will always expose them. I tend to avoid calling any one online casino the very best, simply because every player is going to value different features in a different way. However, for US players especially, a trustworthy track record of fairness and consistent payouts is what I care most about. For that, I recommend older trusted brands such as Ignition or Chumba Casino (if you want a 100% legal option). My team has reviewed a number of online casinos for Beat The Fish and have been in the gambling business for more than a decade.
Best online casinos that provide almost the same excitement as betting in a physical casino. The Casino Veteran has been around the online gambling sector since it first began. This means that he has seen all the featured casinos that you may see around and knows what to look for in any that players may choose. Many online casinos also have a mobile casino, with plenty of time, such as a congested bus. With luck, it's possible to win at online casino roulette in the short term. Make sure you exploit promotions and bonuses to maximize your bankroll, too.
The diversity Thunderkick has added to the diverse array of online slots available is nothing short of brilliant. The company entered the slots industry with some daring slots that were relatively simple in design. However, Canadian and UK players loved the simplicity and took Thunderkick slots like a duck to water. We all remember the blockbuster Jurassic Park movie franchise that made tons of money at cinemas worldwide. However, the online slot depiction of the latest movie is also massively popular due to paying out tons of cash for certain lucky players.
Not only do we watch out for the most generous deals, but we investigate the terms and conditions to ensure their fairness. The very best roulette online casino sites take live dealer games from several of the industry's finest suppliers. Companies like Evolution Gaming, Betsoft and Pragmatic Play ensure a healthy mix of intriguing game variations. Unfortunately, you will find few top-rated online casinos USA on the list of the largest online casinos in the world because they rarely offer thousands of games. Instead, they focus on quality – and as America grows as a gambling market online, its scope will grow as well. Real money casinos in the online iGaming world make it possible for users to feel as if they were in a real casino without ever needing to leave home.

WASHINGTON — The acting secretary of the Navy resigned Tuesday after his handling of the coronavirus outbreak on the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt prompted sharp criticism.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in a statement that he had accepted acting Secretary Thomas Modly's resignation Tuesday, the day after Modly apologized for having criticized former Roosevelt commanding officer Capt. Brett Crozier to the carrier's crew.

DoubleTwist Apps
►Next Page ◄
DoubleTwist Apps
This is probably the best media player for Android I've seen so far. Everything looks and feels just perfect.
We talking about the doubleTwist app itself, but it's only a part of the bigger project with the same name started in 2009. Positioned as "iTunes for Android" or "The Cure for iPhone Envy" it is certainly not that apple-polished even today, but either not so far away from what it claims.
Supporting the Android and a wide variety of platforms, it features main PC or MAC central software similar to iTunes, that allows you to connect and sync music and video between computer and mobile device. Most importantly, it can automatically convert data to most suitable format, that exactly your phone would support and play flawlessly.
But what I admire the most is its awesome appearance. All buttons are large and easy to tap on, design is evidently made by a person with sense of style, album covers and song titles are well placed exploiting modern high-res screens to their fullest. Everything unnecessary like star rating or shuffle controls could be hidden with a single touch.
And finally, video playback is unbelievably fast and smooth (as distinct from RockPlayer). I hadn't tested it with truly HD movies like 480p or 720p, but common dvd-rips were running with ease, never mind an optimized-for-mobile ones.
Dropbox Apps
A musthave app for all Dropbox users, that allows you to sync with your global account and have full functionality on your mobile device.
Dropbox is a software that syncs your files online and across your computers. You put any files into your Dropbox on one computer, and they'll be almost instantly available on any of your other computers that you've installed Dropbox on (Windows, Mac, and Linux). Because a copy of your files are stored on Dropbox's secure servers, you can also access them from any computer or mobile device using the Dropbox website.
This app delivers you direct access to your Dropbox account and makes sharing a lot easier. Of course, if you don't have free wi-fi connection or unlimited contract with your operator, it would cost a lot of money depending on traffic usage. Anyway, every time you've got decent free connection, you can instantly share everything like photos, videos, links, files, documents etc. For instance, you can move all your mobile pics to Dropbox folder and then use them on a computer without plugging in any cables. Marvelous!
FatBooth Android Apps and Games
Awesome photoapp to perform pranks on your friends and build up a collection of their hilarious fat faces.
Maybe it works not so smooth as you'd want it to, but results are great, and this is all that matters. You ask one of your friends to pose for a portrait (for a contacts list, yeah), fill onscreen oval with his or her face, then correct positions of the eyes', lips' and chin's markers and BAM! — you get the amazingly realistic fat photo to share on twitter or to save on SD card. Or you can just go rogue and take a normal photo, and make it fat later.
Also, it is called Booth because it keeps all of the 'before & after' pictures in the start screen for you to scroll through and laugh.

This article is developed from the insights provided in a webinar from April 29, 2021, "Navigating COVID-19 Workplace Compliance." Due to the rapidly changing nature of safety guidelines and protocols surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic some of the information below may be outdated at the time you are reading this article. As our speakers stress throughout the webinar, always check three sources simultaneously for the most up-to-date information: the CDC, your state, and your local city or county websites.
In a poll from a recent Guardian and ADP webinar, we discovered that about 59 percent of companies had their employees working onsite in at least some locations throughout the pandemic. As worksites forge ahead and open more widely, the re-entry requirements will continue to evolve, so to do your research is key.
Gene Cautillo, 2nd VP, Corp. Chief Compliance Officer at Guardian, highly recommends that organizations develop an ongoing schedule to check in with the CDC, the state and the local level to ensure that your small business is following the quickly changing re-entry requirements.
Many states will require a COVID administrator in your office as well as a COVID "plan" in place, similar to a fire safety plan.1 The goal is to focus on the safety of employees, so tasks that will fall under the COVID administrator's duties will include a risk assessment and a site-specific plan for cleanliness protocols and what to do in case of an employee with a positive COVID test.1 Some states go a step further and require an online certification prior to reopening.2
Both visitors and workers must be documented as they visit your worksite.1 Distinctions are made between requirements and best practices: a requirement is limiting access to the worksite; a best practice is implementing a check station at the entrance of the business.1
Social distancing and capacity guidance is not consistent, so each organization needs to check their local and state guidelines. For instance, there is currently no mask mandate or social distancing requirement for fully vaccinated employees of Wisconsin on the statewide level. However, many counties like Dane County and Milwaukee County require mask use and social distancing through specific dates.17 Steps to consider to comply with this rule are:
Mapping out a floorplan in advance is helpful. Certain states will categorize different types of activities into varying risk levels, which may impact your plan.
If your employee is fully vaccinated, they may be able to resume work in the office without wearing a mask or physically distancing, as long as the employee is following federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.4 Employers have discretion as long as they are complying with all applicable laws. If there is no prohibition, the individual employer can still require masks in order to meet their business needs.
If your employee is not fully vaccinated, face masks are still required, even if you are in a state or a worksite where social distancing is enforced. One is not a substitute for the other. Exceptions include children under a certain age, health conditions, and if you are eating and drinking.5 As more vaccinations are provided, rules surrounding face masks within the office will loosen (depending on type of job).4
Many people may be uncomfortable working in an office where vaccinations are not mandated. Regardless of the employees' vaccination status, consider extending your mask-wearing and social-distancing practices at your place of work in order to help allay those concerns.
Utilize this COVID-19 checklist for preparing your small business for reopening.
Gene Cautillo of Guardian states that we are seeing a strong trend towards alternative ways of working (shared work, telecommuting, etc.), so this may just be the time to try something new. But ultimately, this decision is based on the needs of your particular business and in-office needs.
Managing leave has become increasingly complex for employers throughout the pandemic, says Meryl Gutterman, Counsel at ADP. The top three challenges for managing employee leave, according to a poll on a recent Guardian and ADP webinar, were vaccination-related requirements (39 percent), the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (26 percent), and updated state paid family and sick leave laws (27 percent).
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), passed by Congress in March of 2020, granted certain employees paid leave for COVID-related purposes and provided employers with a corresponding tax credit.7 But the leave entitlement is now expired (as of 12/31/20). So, covered employers are no longer required to provide FFCRA leave.
That said, covered employers can voluntarily provide it and still be entitled to the tax credit extension through September 30, 2021. The FFCRA allowed for up to 10 days (80 hours) of emergency paid sick leave, and once it expired the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) picked up that allowance again.8 Under the ARPA, an employer that previously claimed tax credits for employees who exhausted their 10 days leave before April 1,2021 can now allow those same employees to take an additional 10 days and will be eligible to receive additional tax credits.
If an employee takes emergency paid sick leave:
The amount of sick leave wages eligible for the tax credit is limited to $511 per day for care required for the employee, and $200 per day for care that the employee provides to others.9
If an employee takes public health emergency leave:
From 4/1/21 – 9/30/21, the aggregate public health emergency leave payments eligible for tax credits is limited to $12,000 per employee.10
Both types of leave are ensured under the ARPA.
Some jurisdictions require organizations to provide paid leave. For instance, in California, employers with more than 25 employees must provide 80 hours of supplemental paid sick leave through 9/30/21 and it applies retroactively. Again, make sure you examine all the laws that apply to your business – CDC, state, and local – to ensure that you are complying.
The short answer is yes. In some jurisdictions, legislation has been passed that confirms an employer can mandate its employees receive a COVID-19 vaccination.12 Under federal guidance in the past, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has generally advised against requiring vaccines, such as the flu vaccine. But for COVID-19, the updated guidance doesn't expressly endorse or prohibit a mandatory practice.12
It depends on state laws. For instance, employers in California may mandate vaccines with the following caveats:
In the state of New Jersey, where employers may require that their employees receive vaccines to return to the workplace, there is one additional allowance. The employee must be exempt from the mandate if:
New York was the first state to mandate that employees are entitled to up to four hours per injection of paid time off to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.14 In Illinois, if employers require their employees to be vaccinated, that mandatory vaccine should be combined with paid leave, or otherwise provide compensation for the time taken to comply. This applies to both the employees' vaccines and their accompaniment of a family member to a vaccine appointment. 15
Meryl Gutterman, Counsel at ADP, recommends to direct employees to call their physician or point them to the dedicated vaccine page on the CDC's website. If they have a concern about the cost, let them know that the vaccine doses purchased by the federal government are generally provided at no cost and/or the employer may be required to cover any vaccination costs.
The CDC advises against employers requiring documentation or certification. That said, under federal law, employers are allowed to require fitness-for-duty documents.16 But make sure you drill down to your state and local level to find if this is permitted in your area because these requirements vary throughout the country.
Let's take a holistic look. Things to consider are:
The new and ever-evolving workplace and workforce guidance represents a positive step toward resuming a normal, pre-pandemic lifestyle. Employers should maintain a frequent habit of looking for updates from OSHA, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the CDC, and state and local websites to be fully informed on changing workplace guidelines related to COVID-19 safety and best practice.

JACQUELINE Jossa looked unimpressed at Dan Osborne's letter from home he sent after the bombshell cheat revelation.
The I'm A Celebrity star looked down in the dumps and failed to shed a tear as James Haskell read out the emotional note.
Jacqueline Jossa failed to raise a smile or shed a tear over her letter
Dan said: "Have an amazing time on this adventure.
"When it gets tough, just remember this is a once in a lifetime experience. Make the most of it.
"You have so many of us watching, proud of you.
"Love you so much."
Despite her other campmates being moved to tears by their messages from loved ones, Jacqueline remained stony-faced.
She received it after co-star Myles told her he believed Dan cheated on her with his ex Gabby Allen.
In a dramatic turn of events, Jacqueline then threatened to quit the show unless she could talk to the dad of her two kids.
She was then allowed to contact herhusband from the jungle after having a meltdown over his alleged infidelity.
Dan sent a letter to Jacqueline from him and their kids
Show bosses allowed her to temporarily exit the Australian jungle to leave Dan, 28, a voicemail about the claims.
Former The Only Way Is Essex star Dan was then allowed to send a voicemail back.
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, she said:"I feel good today after seeing that. It has relaxed me a little bit."
But it was clear to see she looked more excited for the Terry's Chocolate Orange.
It didn't go unnoticed by fans who know she's been highly emotional throughout the series after being voted to do terrifying trials.
Singer Myles Stephenson told her he believed her husband Dan Osborne had cheated on her with his ex Gabby Allen
Jacqueline threatened to quit I'm A Celebrity after it was claimed her husband had an affair
She insisted she was feeling 'relaxed' after reading the message
One said: "Jacqueline has cried over EVERYTHING in the jungle yet didnt shed a tear when her family wrote her a letter…? Alright then… odd … #ImACeleb."
Someone else added: "Cries at every trail. Not a flicker of emotion at her letter from home. Rudely shouts YES! when Andrews name is called. Im finding it increasingly difficult to like Jacqueline. "
Another remarked: "Jacqueline cried at KGs letter but didnt cry at her own #ImACeleb."
A viewer added: "So Jacqueline cries all week about missing her kids and home, she gets a letter from home and doesnt react at all …#ImACeleb."

Note: I mention three of my favorite Web sites for miniature furniture and accessories in this post. I have received no compensation or incentives, nor have I/would I honor any requests to make recommendations on my site. I offer my opinions with sincerity and humility.
I rediscovered the craft of kit dollhouse-making a few months ago as the COVID lockdowns grew from weeks to months. "Re"discovered because I bought my first kit about 35 years ago, but didn't get far before I lost interest and abandoned it to a local thrift store. Because it was so long ago; because I didn't get as far into the craft as I have today; and because my tastes have changed, I might be mistaken, so, grain of salt, but I don't remember there being so many contemporary choices in yesterday's house kits, or such a wide selection of modern furniture or accessories as can be found today, where the limit is truly your imagination.
My first house was the Real Good Toys Beachside Bungalow. I wanted a light, fun, nautical interior, and although the miniature hobby shop from where I purchased it had a ton of great finds, they were mostly traditional, which was not the aesthetic I had in mind. I found the west coast, where I live, is not exactly the epicenter of all-things miniature, so I went where most of us go these days: the Internet.
Online, I discovered the craft of miniature homes had indeed moved leaps and bounds. Yes, you could still find the mass-produced miniatures or traditional pieces, but you could also find unique, hand-crafted mini works of art. A delicious blue and white striped sofa, from Eliza Rose Miniatures, inspired the decor at the beach house. I added to my collection at Mini Home Co AU. MHC not only had a ton of "beachy" furniture and accessories, but also featured the clean, minimalist lines I love. Phillip Nuveen is an artist who creates original miniatures, but his talent extends to photography, film, fine art, fashion, and graphic design. Pretty much anywhere art can be found, you'll find Phillip Nuveen in the middle.
Although, these are a few of the shops I've stumbled into, they are by no means all of wonderful places I've found. I'll share more in later posts. In the meantime, if you're a relative novice to the realm of miniature houses, as I am, it's a big, wide, wonderful world. There is joy in locating the exact piece you need to finish a scene; but there is real exhilaration when you encounter the unexpected.

State Reps. Greg Markkanen, of Hancock, and Beau LaFave, of Iron Mountain, today voted to stop a burdensome and unfair order from the Natural Resources Commission that will threaten hunters with criminal penalties when bow season begins Oct. 1.
State Rep. Beau LaFave today praised the United States Supreme Court's momentous decision that the Constitution allows states to protect innocent human life before birth by preventing abortion.
The House Committee on Elections and Ethics today reviewed legislation sponsored by Rep. Beau LaFave to prohibit candidates and their families from profiting off of campaign accounts.
State Rep. Beau LaFave today expressed extreme frustration after dozens of radical, pro-abortion extremists infiltrated the Michigan House chamber during legislative session on Wednesday, causing a lengthy delay to the state's democratic process.
State Rep. Beau LaFave advanced a bill he has been working on for six years to provide genuine tax savings for Michigan families, seniors, and veterans throughout the state.
Earlier this week, a leak was reported from the U.S. Supreme Court that Roe v. Wade, the court case currently prohibiting voters from regulating most abortions, could be overturned in the near future. This sparked a heated exchange between Republicans and Democrats nationwide, especially over social media.
The House committee on Military, Veterans and Homeland Security (MVHS) chaired by State Rep. Beau LaFave, today passed a package of bills out of the committee that would eliminate the requirement of Michiganders to obtain a Concealed Pistol License (CPL).
Rep. LaFave says legislative passage Thursday of legislation directing federal dollars toward improving Copper Peak will make the U.P. a global destination for ski jumping and have a positive impact across the region.

published: July 2021
For those who know the name Dorothy 'Cherry' Groce, the extent of their knowledge likely begins and ends with the night she was shot by police in 1985. Officers in search of her son, Michael, raided Groce's home in Brixton on the 28 of September while she was in bed. Four of her children were home, along with two children she was looking after that evening.
Shot in the shoulder, the mother of six was left paralysed from the chest down. After she died of kidney failure in 2011, a 2014 jury inquest found that the shooting and its resultant complications contributed to the 63-year-old's death. The police officer who shot Groce was prosecuted but ultimately cleared of malicious wounding.
When word spread about what had happened to Groce, it angered her local community, sparking two days of disorder that would later come to be known as the 1985 Brixton Riot. Caught up in the middle of all this was a family left grieving their loved one.
On a Sunday morning, I met with three of Cherry's children – Rose, Lee and Lisa Lawrence – at Lee's home in south London. As they settled down to chat in the living room, it became clear that Lee – who has done decades of campaigning on behalf of his mother, and has written an award-winning memoir called The Louder I Will Sing – is much more at ease talking about their painful past. Rose and Lisa, who have been reluctant to give interviews in the past, took more time to share their memories of the incident that forever changed family life as they knew it.
After being catapulted into unexpected visibility years ago, Cherry Groce's children have had decades to make sense of how their lives suddenly combusted that night in 1985.

When I signed up for HubPages, things were done differently. I may have signed up with an amazon ID, that is now defunct. I am wondering now, if the new way references the ID I signed up with; unfortunately I can see no way to check. Can someone provide me insight on this please?
I wanted to elaborate on this, for good reason. I used to have regular Amazon.com sales. I have not had one since December 17th, 2017. They were clipping along at that time, then stopped dead. Not one penny since that time. Coincidentally that's the time when that Amazon ID became unusable. They closed it on me because I did not get a certain form submitted in time. So I now need to know how I convert my sales to reach my new account. I suppose all those past sales that came through my account have gone down the proverbial drain.
You have to go into your account page, click on earnings, then click on configure on the Amazon section. Enter the hubpages Amazon account number and you will be set;
(If this does not work for you ask for help from email@example.com .You should try it first before contacting them.)
I am not sure about the lost sales for the past 6 months. I assume they are lost for good.
Thanks. Unfortunately I can't enter a new ID there, it tells me Amazon is already active on my account.
I appreciate the help though. I will contact the team.
So deactivate it and start over
Thanks, but I tried that.
It seems that what I a saying is not clear enough if you can't see what I'm facing. So I will show you.
This first shot is what I see when I click on configure, for the HP Amazon Program.
Now, here's what I see when I deactivate it.
And when I click on configure to reactivate it, it immediately reactivates. And it shows the same clip as the first one shown, when I click on configure again.
You should still be able to click on the 'configure' option though Gwenny.
I am not sure how you mean that. Did you miss where I said that when I click on it, it simply says that my Amazon account is already activated? I also tried deactivating it, and when I clicked configure thereafter, I got the same message as before--it went right back to active, and did not ask for new details and did not show me any place they could be entered.
Go to your HubPages Earnings Settings page.
1. Go to the External Affiliates Settings section and deactivate Amazon.
Then. ...
2. Go to the HubPages Earnings Program Settings and activate the Ad Program. Then activate the Hubpages Amazon Program (Hubpages will automatically put in an affiliate code starting hubacct (Do not put your own Amazon affiliate number here.)
The amount of commission you earn with the HP Amazon program is generally better than what you would earn from the direct Amazon program so you will not lose out.
That's what I am using though... the HubPages Amazon Program.
EDIT Your screenshot post crossed with my comment. See my new comment below.
I am indeed using the HP program. I have been assigned an ID that is not the same as any of my known tracking IDs. It was a long time ago that I signed up and maybe my memory is no clear, but I thought I signed up with a tracking ID.
One way or the other, now I am signed up with the HP Amazon Program, and have shown shots that confirm that. And I'll take the opportunity to remind, that the absence of Amazon earnings relates to when an ID was retired, which seems strange. As well, I was making earnings at that time, so I didn't just lose the account.
I a sure hoping this can be rectified. I have asked HP to look at it.
My last post crossed with your post showing the screen shots.
OK I can see what is happening now. To stay in the HubPages Amazon program DO NOT click configure to reactivate it. Leave your account as in your first screen shot.
(By clicking configure at that point you are reactivating the stand-alone Amazon program and not the HP Amazon one.)
(Edited to read first screenshot)
Are you sure, Beth? Mine looks like the first screenshot.
Gwenny, Does the Amazon code begin with hubacctXXX-XX ?
In that case it's active, you just haven't made any Amazon sales.
Oops, yes I meant the first screenshot. Thanks Bev.
Gwenny, sales from Amazon can be very unpredictable. Two of my hubs generated almost all my pre-Xmas sales.
Since the beginning of the year I have been updating and improving my hubs and deleting those that were getting very little traffic. The result has been a huge increase in Amazon sales and traffic overall.
I can see that. However, not one solitary sale since then... that's not right.
Have you checked the actual links/capsules on your main sales-producing hubs? I noticed my sales were down for a few weeks and when I, at last, twigged there was something wrong, I found a link wasn't working because the product wasn't available. Lost at least $100 there.
by Holle Abee 8 years ago
When I had my own Amazon ID, I always earned from links on my hubs. After I switched to the HP Amazon option, I no longer get clicks or purchases on my Amazon capsules. Is that because Amazon earnings now go to my general HP earnings each month, and they don't show as separate earnings? Thanks!

*apologies if in the wrong sub-forum*It's a very very simple question. I'm not supposing the answer is equally simple.

France: our final prediction
Our survey for the French elections is now officially complete. We would first and foremost like to thank everyone who participated and made our prediction possible. We analyzed the first round results in our previous post this week, and concluded that although this election seems like a landslide victory for Macron, things won't go down that easy. The polls consistently gave him a 20 point lead in front of Le Pen, an advantage that was slightly narrowing before the debate on May 3rd, but after the debate and what was apparently a resounding victory for Macron, his chances went up again.
The final results of our prediction survey suggest a slightly tighter outcome than what the polls are currently suggesting. As shown in the figure below, we have Macron at 55.9%, and Le Pen at 44.1%. Our survey was at all times a bit more conservative and has, unlike all the other polls, consistently estimated a narrower gap between the candidates. There is a regional variation as well. We predict Macron to take all of the Western and central regions as well as Paris (Ile-de-France) and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Le Pen will most likely win in Provence-Alpes-Côte d\'Azur and in Corse, and will probably come on top in the North-West.
However, just like the polls, our survey has never brought Macron's victory into question. The issue was only the margin of victory and how precise our prediction will be compared to the average of the polls.
The blue and yellow zones around the lines show the average errors for each candidate's predicted vote share. At this point the errors are around 4 percentage points in each direction. This suggest that the overall likelihood of a Le Pen victory is below 1%. Unless there is a huge Black Swan event on Sunday, Emmanuel Macron should be the next President of France.

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney slammed Donald Trump's current run in no uncertain terms in an interview aired on Friday by CNN.
"I don't want to see a president of the United States saying things which change the character of the generations of Americans that are following," Romney told host Wolf Blitzer. "Presidents have an impact on the nature of our nation, and trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, trickle-down misogyny, all these things are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of America."
The former Massachusetts governor went so far as to say he would consider voting for the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson.
"If Bill Weld were at the top of the ticket, it would be very easy for me to vote for Bill Weld for president," Romney said. "So I'll get to know [Johnson] better and see if he's someone who I could end up voting for. That's something which I'll evaluate over the coming weeks and months."
However, Romney said that he would neither enter the race himself, or vote for Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic Party nominee.
"Isn't that copping out of your responsibility?" Blitzer asked.
"My responsibility is to express to the American people what I believe is right about the potential nominee of the party," Romney replied. "I did so very plainly and clearly, and the people who made the choice decided to go a different direction. That's their right. But as an individual I simply can't put my name down as someone who voted for principles that suggest racism or xenophobia, misogyny, bigotry, who's been vulgar time and time again."

Best smartwatches in 2022, summarized list:
Apple Watch Series 7
The Apple Watch Series 7 is easily the best smartwatch you can put on your wrist – with a rich app ecosystem and comprehensive health features. From heart rate measurement to EKG and blood oxygen monitoring, to sleep tracking and handwash reminders. It also tracks a large number of workouts and is also one of the most accurate fitness trackers. Not to mention, it can go completely autonomous with an eSIM that offers its own LTE connection. Supports Apple Pay.
Apple Watch SE
The Apple Watch SE is a slightly more dialed back version of the Series 6. No EKG and blood oxygen monitoring, and no always-on screen. But it still supports all the apps and workouts available and it has the facelift design – thin bezels, unlike the Apple Watch Series 3, which now looks quite dated. The SE also supports eSIM for standalone use. Supports Apple Pay.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
Samsung's Galaxy Watch line is quite respectable as an Android-friendly alternative to the Apple Watch. The new Galaxy Watch 4 has a beautiful, premium aluminum and glass construction, but is also conveniently light. It has IP68 dust and water resistance and is also shockproof.
Running on Wear OS 3, this smartwatch covers all the basics: a plethora of workout trackers, sleep tracking, and plenty of great apps to choose from. As for the battery life of the Galaxy Watch 4, it can last up to 40 hours on a single charge, and it charges quickly too. According to Samsung, a charging time of 30 minutes can yield up to 10 hours of battery life.
So needless to say, this is a great fitness tracking smartwatch for Android users. Because yes – and this is very important to note – the Galaxy Watch 4 is not compatible with iPhones.
#4: Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic
Like the Galaxy Watch 4, the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic no longer runs Samsung's Tizen operating system, but now uses Wear OS 3, and is currently only compatible with Android phones.
The Galaxy Watch 4 Classic has a timeless watch design, elegant and unisex, IP68 water and dust resistant and even MIL-STD-810G shock resistant. It has a rotating bezel, which older Samsung Watch fans will love to see. Despite the more elegant design, this is still a suitable fitness watch, should you so wish. It can track your steps, calories burned, your stress levels and body composition, and it can automatically detect when you start exercising.
In our use, it lasted about one day per battery charge, which is a far cry from Samsung's claimed 40 hours. So we can think of this as a watch with a battery life of one day that will probably need to be charged every night.
Garmin Vivoactive 4
The Vivoactive 4 offers up to 8 days of battery life in full smartwatch mode. It achieves this with a power-saving display (transflective memory-in-pixel) rather than a flashy OLED panel. It can be paired with both Android and iOS, and you can make calls with it if you're using Android. It has an elaborate health tracking suite, including a thermometer and blood oxygen meter, as well as sleep and all the basics. Has its own Garmin Pay app for mobile payment.
Fossil Generation 5
If you want a different smartwatch, the Fossil Gen 5 is the best with Google's Android Wear OS platform. Gen 5 comes in many different styles to choose from. You get the Google Assistant on board here and the full set of heart rate, fitness and health features you'd expect on a smartwatch. Can be combined with both Android and iOS, but of course you get the most out of it on Android. Has LTE version and supports Google Pay.
TicWatch Pro 3
The TicWatch Pro 3 has a highly energy-efficient LCD screen on top of a standard AMOLED screen, which can extend battery life up to 30 days. Being a Wear OS smartwatch, it comes with a built-in Google Assistant, Google Pay, the Google Fit features and supports LTE connectivity via eSIM.
Which one is on your wrist?
There we have them, the best fitness smartwatches, health tracking smartwatches or just elegant ones you can get right now in early 2022. Ultimately (and unsurprisingly), the Apple Watch Series 7 is the best smartwatch for those who love Apple's ecosystem, while Samsung Galaxy Watch series are the best smartwatches for fans of the Korean giant and Android users in general, too. although they also work well enough with iOS.

"If you thought Gucci and Prada were expensive, try getting a college degree. According to the Education Data Initiative, the average U.S. student pays $35,720 a year for their college education. While most students are eligible for some form of aid, income and savings still play an important role in covering the majority of academic costs," moneyunder30.com reports.
..."What to consider before applying for a Parent PLUS loan
Megan Walter, a policy analyst at the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) says that PLUS loans can be a good alternative to taking out private loans, primarily because of all of the protections that PLUS loan borrowers receive.
Some of these include being able to put the loans in deferment or forbearance if they're in financial trouble, and being eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness if they work for a qualifying employer.
However, they also come with some drawbacks that are worth considering.
An origination fee is a percentage that the lender charges from your total loan amount to process your loan.
All federal Direct loans charge an origination fee. However, PLUS loans have an origination fee of 4.2%, which is four times more than what you're charged for Direct Subsidized and Direct Unsubsidized federal loans.
Walter says that means that if you filled out an application to borrow a $10,000 PLUS loan, you'll only receive $9,577.20 of that amount.
If you happen to need the whole $10,000, that means you'll need to borrow more than originally intended to cover the loan fee, without coming up short.
Although PLUS loans do require your parents to pass a credit check in order to be approved for the loan, the interest rate is the same for everyone, regardless of how good their credit is. This is because interest rates for federal loans are set by Congress.
'If you are a borrower or cosigner with an excellent credit score, you may be able to get a private student loan at a much lower interest rate than what the PLUS loan program offers, which can save thousands in interest paid at the end of the loan's life,' Walter says.
So, if your parents have excellent credit, it wouldn't hurt to compare rates from a private lender or two, to ensure they're getting the best deal possible."

Title:Geometric integrator for simulations in the canonical ensembleDownload PDF
Abstract: In this work we introduce a geometric integrator for molecular dynamics simulations of physical systems in the canonical ensemble. In particular, we consider the equations arising from the so-called density dynamics algorithm with any possible type of thermostat and provide an integrator that preserves the invariant distribution. Our integrator thus constitutes a unified framework that allows the study and comparison of different thermostats and of their influence on the equilibrium and non-equilibrium (thermo-)dynamic properties of the system. To show the validity and the generality of the integrator, we implement it with a second-order, time-reversible method and apply it to the simulation of a Lennard-Jones system with three different thermostats, obtaining good conservation of the geometrical properties and recovering the expected thermodynamic results.

Universal Combat Status
Kush replied to Supreme Cmdr's topic in Development BlogHey Derek, It's been a long time since I've posted. Had a lot of life stuff get in the way, but I've been keeping my eye on things, eagerly waiting for the release of UC (formerly BG) and I feel now that I have to chime in with my .02. I feel for you. Really do. I was placed in a very similar situation just recently and without going into the details I have a lawyer going after a large company trying to get them to do what they promised they would do in the contract. The thing that gets me is the hurt. My guess is that the money isn't the biggest issue, it's the complete lack of communication and the hurt. The whole BC series is like your baby, not as precious as your real life child, but pretty damn close and if you're anything like me, it breaks your heart to see your child get beaten up and abused by those who claim that they have your best interests at heart but don't. A bit of your soul just fizzles. I know you're strong, I know you can take it, but I just want to tell you, I have an idea of the amount of pain you must be experiencing and my heart goes out to you brother. If I were you, I'd get your lawyer to get as much money out of them as you can as quickly as you can, make sure the contract is finished and move on real quick to the Xbox project. Make a bushel load of cash and then laugh your way to the bank. PS, If [email protected]#$er is as underhanded at the company I'm dealing with, be careful that they don't draw out the process. Every email and call to that lawyer eats away at your funds. I'm learning this the hard way. Kush
Who here works in Theatre?
Kush replied to weegee_101's topic in General ChatterI'm a playwright, actor and producer here in Toronto. Theatre's a tough life. How do you make ends meet?
quote:Originally posted by Steve Schacher: Kush, et.al.; What happened to c) the poor bastard earns a little more by: c1) taking a second job, c2) taking a night class and getting a job, or c3) does without? The whole point is, in a Keynsian (sp?) capitalist society you don't have to. In Sweden, you don't HAVE to struggle to live. You don't have to hold down two jobs to have a little more. If you want to earn more money, you get a job that pays more money. If you like to work hard, go for it, have two jobs. No one's stopping you. Working hard is a good thing and is rewarded. But you don't HAVE TO. Not to live. Not to survive. The idea that you would actually have to have a firearm in your possession to simply walk down the street of a city... sadens me. It's... it makes me very sad for the people who live there. You may not feel the paranoia that someone living in Cuba may feel, but what's the difference really? You're not afraid of the government, but you're still afraid of losing your life. In my books, that's the same. I grew up living in a city where you can walk down any street. Say hello to anyone. You may need to know French for them to respond, but no where in the city, do you have to worry about getting shot at, or mugged. There are poor people in Ottawa. They're just not desperatly poor. That's not luck. That's not breeding, or the result of genetic experimentation. It's social policy. I think really we are all debating what flavour of Capitalism do we like the best. I think sometimes some people label anything that smacks of compassion as being socialist, and therefor communist, and therefor evil. I think you can have a Capitalist society and also have a compassionate society. The two are not mutually exclusive.
quote:Originally posted by Menchise: Keynesians suggest that this can be achieved through government taxation and expenditure to fund a welfare state: by providing the means of subsistence to the unemployed, businesses have more people to whom they can sell their products, thus stimulating the economy while providing much-needed assistance.Good point. If my memory serves me correctly, it was Bismark in merry old Germany who implimented the first modern social welfare programs. One of the reasons why the civil war in England was not as brutal and destructive as the civil war in France was because England had begun some rudimentary social welfare programs. Even the most die hard capitalist has to admit they help. quote:Originally posted by Lotharr: So how do you get away from those who make welfare a lifestyle? I don't know about you but a person should have to do something worth while for society. Not just drink wine and make crappy art heh heh.....Heeeeey... I drink lots of wine, and I make tons of crappy art! So what! A sad and awkward truth is that there are people out there who don't have much direction in life. Some people just aren't that smart. Some people are, but don't believe in themselves. Some are emotionally and mentally scared for one reason or another. Some people suffer a great misfortune. And some people are just plain lazy. Lets say said person wants a television set. You could a) Re-distribute wealth a little, give these people a monthly allowance. They go out and lease a television set. (The ones that aren't too bright lease the TV set.) The money gets put back into the economy through i) retailer for sale of television set ii) interest to leasing firm iii) manufacturer of television set etc. so on. You could Give the poor bastard nothing. They go out, break into someone's house. Beat up the owner, and steal the television set. Now we're paying all over the place. In insurance goes up. We pay for the hospital bills, the police report. That's an over simplification of a very complex process that happens every day in a capitalist society. Certain countries use a, certain countries use b. All I'll say is, I'm going to feel much safer walking the streets of Brussels than I ever felt walking through South Central LA. There's a reason why there are low crime rates in certain countries and high crime rates in others. Is it socialists that are responsible, or Keynesians? You be the judge. PS : I just can't keep away. I need help. [ 05-13-2002, 13:43: Message edited by: Kush ]
Lotharr! Do you realize what you are doing?!!! Do you realize the unholy forces of nature you are setting free? Sure. Let's debate Capitalism and Socialism. Seems simple enough. Heh. Right. I wish I could stay and participate, but I'm leaving for Europe soon and I'll be there for a month and a half. I'll be too busy to post. So I'm going to get everything I want to say out now. FIRST OFF, Let's keep it clean. No personal attacks, no low blows, pot shots. No questioning intelligence. I think we're all pretty seasoned debaters here, but things could get out of hand. SECOND OFF, When you guys do finally come up with the answer, could one of you tell the World Bank. Win or lose, the IMF aught to find out. Every now and then this debate comes up, and like Menchise pointed out, when you pit Capitalism VS Socialism you really do need to pick your flavours. And I would add, culture as well. There are many cultural differences to both Capitalism and Socialism. And those flavours also have slight variations over the history of the nation. Being Canadian, we like to bandy about the word Socialism alot, but heck, we're about as Socialist as Disney is an independant film company. We've experimented with different social programs that have originated from the socialists in parliament, but federally, we've never had socialists form the govt. Not like England. And as left leaning as I am, that is a GOOD THING Sure I vote for them on occasion, but the NDP has to realize that there is more to running a country than a bunch of antiquated economic theories preached by intellectuals. You have to have a cultural policy, you have to have a law and order policy, trade policy, etc, so on. Holding hands and talking about the Boss Man, and how the World Trade Organization is going to kill us all, does not tell me how you're going to deal with National Unity. A BIG issue here. Now for the big picture. The cynical side of me would say 'How can you debate Socialism VS Capitalism' Socialism and Capitalism are two sides of the same coin. At their extremes they don't work. In their purest forms, they are both cruel and inhuman. Personally I think that what you want is something that takes the positive, functioning aspects of both. The ends of the spectrum are pretty dire. Take Cuba and Jamaica. One very socialist, one very capitalist. Very high literacy rate in Cuba. Very low in Jamaica. Many Cubans are trained lawyers doctors and engineers, but do not work in their field of study due to a glut in the work force. Many Jamaicans cannot afford any form of education and the ones who do often take their education and leave. If you get sick in Cuba, you don't pay a cent. You have many highly trained professinals, there are shortages of medicine, but you can still get a pace maker, or brain surgery. If you get sick in Jamaica, and you are not rich, you die. Period. Cuba has a very low crime rate. Jamaica has a very very very high crime rate. Certain areas of Kingston, you are taking your life in your hands walking down the street on a sunny day. Cuba, you have no worries. You can go anywhere, and you don't have to worry about getting robbed, or attacked. Why? BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO FREEDOM. You have no freedom of speech. You live with a certain level of constant paranoia. At any point in time, a soldier can pull you off the street, and you disapear. Without a trace. Gone. Human rights? Nice try buddy. Which is better. Living in a violent chaotic freedom, or a peaceful, orderly oppression. Personally the jury is still out, but I have to admit, the honeymoon in Cuba my wife and I had was pretty sweet. The Cuban people really are amazing. I have a relative who lives in Jamaica, and he has kind of scared me out of visiting him any time soon. That's it. I'm done for now. Sorry bout the long ass post. I'll be watching. This should be REAL entertaining. PS : Go Menchise Go! PPS : Don't mean to sound like I'm slagging the Jamaican people. They are super cool too. But even a Jamaican will tell you, the crime level is getting out of control. PPPS : I say this thread goes 5 pages. Any takers? [ 05-12-2002, 18:07: Message edited by: Kush ]
Working on a new computer - suggestions?
Kush replied to a topic in General ChatterAll I can really say is... drool.
Game Cube goodness
Kush replied to a topic in General ChatterConsole games can crash? Really? I honestly thought that they were pretty crash proof. What happens, do you get a blue screen of death or something. I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I never play console games and I really want to know.
The Netherlands Griefs
Kush replied to Commander Jamont's topic in General ChatterIt's so sad. I'm visiting the Netherlands next month. I never in a million years would have thought something like this would happen in such an advanced peaceful nation. It makes no sense at all.
I thought he took the photo. If he didn't take the photo, I really don't see the problem. And if they they're not going to charge him with something, they should let him get back to work. Yeah he should get the bronze star. He should get one here too. No wonder the moral is so low in the forces.
The reason why he was punished is because of an incident in Somalia where memebers of the Airborne tortured and killed an innocent Somali boy and then took pictures of themselves with the dead body. Those pictures sickened every Canadian who saw them. The memory of it is sickening. There are now strict rules. A soldier cannot take pictures of himself with a defaced dead body. No matter who the enemy is. That's the rule. He knew the rules. If he doesn't want to follow them, he doesn't have to be in the Airborne.
It's sooooo stuuuupid!!!!! [ 05-06-2002, 14:23: Message edited by: Kush ]
Sorry Paddy, how about a slightly worn Alanis Morriset?
Canada isn't going to implode anytime soon. We're doing just fine. And we already tussle over soft wood lumber all the time. Let us keep our lumber and we'll give you Celine Dion. That's a fair trade I think.
First off I NEVER said the UN was perfect. I know it's got problems. But there are also things that the UN does very well. Don't get me started on what I think is wrong with the UN, we'll be here all night. And Jaguar... I know you've got a gift for hyperbole, but watch the way you slag my country alright. You're a proud American, I'm a proud Canadian. I don't go on a tear talking about how America is morally bankrupt, and f*ed up, and I'd appreciate keeping the rhetoric civil. Canada has it's problems, I know. But I love this country and would defend it with my life. I know you don't mean any serious harm, but keep an eye on the rhetoric okay.
Heh, you guys really need to look at your history. To boil down tons of complex history into a couple of paragraphs is impossible, but I will do it anyway. No the UN did not fight for Israel. The Israeli's did that. But even an Israeli will admit that the UN recognition was seminal point in their history. The only point I'm making is that it is ridiculous to think that the UN hates Israel. Or that somehow the UN has a vendetta against Israel. The UN was instrumental in Israel's creation. Israel is a member of the UN. Furthermore, using the 'UN hates us, so therefore we won't let them into Jenin.' just makes you look guilty. It makes you look like you're hiding something. Personally I'm not saying there is something to hide. I am perfectly willing to accept that only 40 or 50 or 60 soldiers were killed. Fine. But where's the proof? Where's the hard evidence. The UN has a long history of dealing with massacres. The UN has it's flaws, but fact finding is not one of them. I say let the UN do it's job and the truth will speak for itself. Oh and here in Canada we've had Multiculturalism as an official govt policy. You can still be Canadian. It's not a big deal. [ 05-05-2002, 08:51: Message edited by: Kush ]
English is the official Language of the US. The vast majority of immigrants to America learn English, and WANT TO BE AMERICAN. They don't want to make America into a version of the country they just left. Relax. American culture is not threatened by immigration. As a matter of fact American culture is one of the US's biggest exports. Nobody wants it to change. Not even those of us who don't live in America. (oh and by the by, pretty well everyone who lives in America are immigrants or the decendants of immigrants. Everyone except for the Native population ) When the UN recognized Israel, the country formally existed.
English is the official language of the United States. In a free country, you are allowed to post signs in whatever language the people choose to posts signs in. You are free to speak whatever language you choose to, but the official language of the Federal govt, and State Govt agencies is English. It will always be English. Don't worry. America has always been a melting pot. That's it's tradition. People may speak different languages in the States, but if they live there, they become American.
The UN created Israel. It does not hate Israel.
Eclipse, I really hope you don't depend on news sites for the truth. What is needed is a thorough UN sponsored investigation into Jenin. Let trained UN proffesionals declare what happened, not rumours or internet news sites.
It just doesn't look good that Isreal is delaying the UN. That's a Saddam tactic. And it just makes you look guilty. Plus Sharon has a shaky human rights record. Every nation has the right to protect themselves, no nation, not the US, not Canada, not even Israel has the right to commit mass murder, no matter what any terrorist organization has done or will do in the future.
Rattlesnakes suck.
Kush replied to a topic in General ChatterRats?! Rats are nothing. A RATTLESNAKE?! That can cause some serious injury, and they're fast as hell when they strike, and they hurt. I've had rats. Big HUGE rats. A whole family of big huge rats moved into my basement when the building next door was torn down. Started with a glue trap. Boy am I stupid. The rat stepped in the trap. Then spent the next little while flipping himself over to an extension cord that was sitting on the dryer. He was able to grab the end of the cord that was hanging near the ground, pull the entire cord off the dryer and use it to pry the sticky pad off. He then left the cord and the pad as a way of saying, 'Nice try bub.' The next day, I saw the little bastard. I was going to do some laundry, and he just looked up at me like I was a minor annoyance. If he could speak, he'd say something like, 'You again? I'm busy. What do you want?' Then I got the big Rat Traps. Huge Rat traps. Tried cheese, nothing. Tried meat sauce. Nothing. Tried Peanut butter. Bang! Caught four in one night. At first I was real cautious, plugging my nose as I gently placed the dead body in the garbage. By now, I can juggle their dead carcasses without flinching. No problem. But a rattlesnake. They can do some damage. I have to admit, your wife's reaction would probably be my reaction.
What both sides need to do is READ THIS THREAD. I swear, most problems in the world could be solved if people just came to this site and read the General Forum threads!
First Amendment Ruling - We're f*cked!
Kush replied to Supreme Cmdr's topic in General Chatterquote: Thankfully, I don't think that's something we have to worry about anytime soon, as Judge Limbaugh's ruling should be fairly easy to have overturned ? assuming the industry gets its act together. But as gaming companies prepare for their annual trade show next month, they need to realize that in order to be accepted as professionals in the entertainment community, they need to act like it. And shoddy arguments, which allow overly restrictive court rulings against them, are a bad start. Sounds to me like it's a temporary problem, but it's chilling none the less. Not a very surprising ruling from a relative of Rush Limbaugh.
Oh and Menchise, Not all Israelis are Zionist. As a matter of fact, not all Israelis are European. Some are African. The modern state of Isreal is full of many cultures. And not all of these cultures agree on Palestine and how to handle it. A Jewish friend of mine pointed out that many of the Isrealis who have been in Israel since it's birth are sick and tired of the violence and are more than ready to accept a peace deal, but a recent influx of Eastern European Jews, who are new to the conflict and a little naive about the cost of war, are keeping the Isreali resistance to peace alive. There ARE Israelis who see themselves as equals to the Palestinians. There are Jewish people who strongly belive in a Palestinian state and are very critical of Israeli military activity. Right now they don't have a voice, but they are there.

I love to read, and I tend to read A LOT of parenting books. I love books on discipline, homeschooling, and how to raise perfect children. Except that last one eludes me, so I stick with the first two. I love gospel centered parenting books, books that encourage me, inspire me, and make me want to be a better wife and mama.
But, sometimes, the best knowledge doesn't come from books. It comes from the day in, day out experiences of being a Mama. It's in the little moments of reading on the couch, coloring together, or handling an argument. It's in those precious moments where I bend down and soothe the crying child instead of running out of patience because they were running in the house and didn't they just spill that water on the floor that they slipped on?
Parenting is made up of thousands of moments just like that. Where we choose to run out of patience, or respond with grace and a Father-like, un-worldly love.
What have I learned in my seven and a half years of being a Mom? Well, way too much for one post, that's for sure. This list isn't all inclusive by any stretch, but these are the things that are hitting me fresh today.
1. Sometimes, babies sleep best when carried by their Mama.
I can read all the books that say not to use props and all about spoiling but SOMETIMES....sometimes? I'm just gonna hold my baby because I can. Because all too soon she will be busting out of this sling, on stable, sturdy feet of her own, running in the opposite direction, away from me. So right now, I'm gonna snuggle up to her and feel her baby soft skin against my own.
2. Children make messes. And I can either stress out about it or take a deep breath, relax, and work on a solution together. I just function better in clean, organized space. So I'm working on asking them to help clean up on a consistent, regular basis. In their own way, they can help, and it helps balance my burden while teaching responsibility.
3. Children have lots of energy, and love to explore (and make messes. Did I mention that?). These things are best experienced with my children. Instead of "hmmmmm-ing" through my day at the COUNTLESS things my children tell me, I stop and take a minute, sometimes even only a few seconds, to look at what they are talking about. I get down on the floor with them, dig in the dirt, ooh and ahh over a newfound bug (from a safe distance, of course, while threatening to withhold donuts for a year if it is thrown on me).
Sometimes it will be at convenient times and sometimes it won't, but it's always worth it to see the world from a child's eyes.
4. Babies make me happy.
Naked babies? Even more so. And especially this one. Those tiny parts and that chubby belly and rolly thighs and rubber band wrists and OH! I'm practically giddy with delight. And, I'm realizing, having a baby is the easiest part of parenting. She only cries, and I meet her needs quickly. She smiles and coos. It's not until she gets older that she will test my patience, talk back, and disobey. Right now, she's just this chubby bundle of sweetness. And I'm no Michelle Duggar, so I know eventually I will run out of babies, which is even more reason why I have to enjoy her NOW.
5. Children look up to their Daddies.
Children need their Daddies. I am who I am: nurturing and soothing, loving and calming. And how boring it would be if John were exactly the same! But thankfully, by God's design, he is who he is: silly and wild and rough and fun. There have been many times in our parenting that I am tempted to say "Not so rough!" but I don't. Because our kids love both sides, and it is good for them to experience the rough and tumble ways of their Dad. Of course, loving ways are mixed in there, too.
6. Children learn what they see and pick up on what they hear. Most often, when I'm struggling with a bad attitude from Ansley or quick-to-anger Christian, I can look in the mirror and discover where it's coming from. They are always watching, and it's SO important to live a life that is pleasing to God, because my children are only reflecting what they see.
7. Fresh air is good for everyone.
When all else fails and the day is whiney and school is disruptive, we head outside. There is something about being outside that seems to alleviate the stress of a bad day. Even Avery seems to enjoy looking around, and has yet to cry while we are outside. (But of course she's in the sling, so that could also be why.)
8. At the end of the day, or year, I pray that my kids remember a loving home, where they were encouraged and supported, where they grew in love for God and each other, where they learned to be kind and forgiving, and where they laughed way more than they cried.
What have you learned?
