1984: It's been many decades since Diana (Gal Gadot) aka Wonder Woman saved the world from Ares, the god of war, and lost the love of her life, pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), in the process. Now Diana lives in seclusion in Washington, where she works as an anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institute. As a superhero, she remains in the shadows as she uses her powers to help people in emergency situations. But then the FBI brings an artifact to the museum for Diana's colleague, unassuming scientist Barbara Ann Minerva (Kristen Wiig) to investigate. As it turns out, it's a wishing stone that really can grant one's every wish. But of course, it comes at a price, which is something not only Barbara and greedy businessman Maxwell Lord (Pedro Pascal) have to realize. Diana also gets to feel this when her greatest wish suddenly comes true...
I admit that I was really looking forward to "Wonder Woman 1984". I really like Gal Gadot in that role and think the first installment is one of the best entries in the DC Extended Universe. Also in "Batman v. Superman" and the much-maligned theatrical version of "Justice League" (the Snyder cut, eagerly awaited by fans, will be released worldwide on March 18, 2021. Where the film will be shown in Germany will be announced shortly), Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman was undoubtedly the strongest character. That for the sequel in addition to Gadot also her co-star Chris Pine and director Patty Jenkins would be back on board, increased the anticipation, which, however, due to the Corona pandemic was repeatedly put to the test.
Now the film is finally also in Germany to see - and unfortunately I must say that my anticipation in large parts of the two-and-a-half-hour work was disappointed. And that partly even really bitter. But I'll start anyway with the aspects that I liked well to very well. After all, I didn't give the movie three stars without a reason. What I find very positive is the attempt to not simply deliver a copy of the first film, which was extremely successful with a worldwide box office of over 800 million dollars. There are a few recurring elements, but on the whole "Wonder Woman 1984" is visually as well as dramaturgically structured quite differently than its predecessor. That may not always work to the sequel's advantage, but it's basically a good thing.
The biggest strength is Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. They simply have great chemistry together. The scenes between Diana and Steve are wonderful and deliver not only some humor, but real emotion especially towards the end. In addition, Diana gets the chance to develop as a character through this "second chance", which Gal Gadot also does very well. There's really nothing to fault here. The 80s feel is also captured very well, especially at the beginning. The whole thing seems more colorful and lighter than the first film, which should have been a major strength. But unfortunately, Patty Jenkins fails to realize this potential.
This brings me to the problems that the film keeps struggling with. First, there's the story, which is simply too mundane for a great superhero movie, while also being completely unnecessarily overstuffed. Jenkins, who delivered the perfect balance of classic adventure film and great fantasy cinema in the first part, spiced with just the right pinch of tongue-in-cheek humor, seems completely overwhelmed here. The characters - most notably Maxwell Lord - are completely overdrawn and their actions are at some point simply incomprehensible.
While Barbara is still a not uninteresting character at the beginning, albeit one that is portrayed in an arguably clichéd manner. But you can understand why she wants a change, why she wants to be strong and independent. However, the more powerful she becomes, the less interesting she is portrayed, culminating in the completely silly transformation into Cheeta. She becomes a character that is actually very popular with comic book fans, and her potential is completely wasted here. Maxwell Lord, on the other hand, is a genuine cartoon character from the get-go, which unfortunately just comes across as silly by the finale. True, you can tell that Pedro Pascal ("The Mandalorian") had a lot of fun with this role. But that doesn't help the film either...
Another problem is the effects. These are okay in some scenes, appallingly bad at other moments. Not only do some green screen shots make you feel like the movie is set in the 80s, but also that it was made in that era. And then there are some really stupid mistakes that diminished my enjoyment of the film. Normally, I don't care much about connection errors. These things can happen. It's only when they're extremely noticeable, as they are here, that I get annoyed. That is the case here with the first meeting of Diana and Barbara. Here Barbara stuffs a port of papers into her bag, from which they have just fallen. In what follows, the papers spill out of the sides of the bag at one point, only to disappear completely. We're not talking two or three pages here, but a whole bunch - that really should have been noticeable in the editing. In addition to the effects not really being convincing, things like this make the production feel a little loveless in places.
"Wonder Woman 1984" has great moments, don't get me wrong. There are things I really liked about this sequel. And for that very reason, I find it all the more disappointing that there are so many important aspects that don't work. Let's hope that for the already announced third film, Patty Jenkins can once again play to all the strengths that made the first film so successful and deliver a film that does this superheroine and her actress justice. The bottom line for this excursion into the 80s is that it's "worth seeing" only with some significant cutbacks! Too bad!

History Says Joe Biden Has No Shot At Being President
To be elected president, a lot has to go right for a candidate. They have to be a quality politician, for sure, but they must also have some luck on their side. With that said, Joe Biden will attempt to do what no single candidate has done before— and that's secure their party's nomination without a top-two finish in both the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary.
When the results of the Iowa Caucus trickled in this year, there was contention between two candidates on who the winner was—between Pete Buttigieg, the happy-go-lucky former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and Bernie Sanders, the staunch senator of Vermont. It was Biden who sat squarely in fourth.
And at the closing of the New Hampshire primary yesterday, Biden placed even lower—the once-favorite Democratic candidate slotted in fifth.
With two poor showings in the nation's first caucus and primary, hope may be dwindling in the Biden camp, and perhaps rightfully so. Not one single presidential candidate, Democrat or Republican, has gone on to become their party's nominee after being in Biden's position—fourth and fifth in Iowa and New Hampshire respectively.
In 1992, Bill Clinton came closest to accomplishing this feat. He finished fourth in Iowa and second in New Hampshire. But the latter near-win allowed him to frame himself as the "comeback kid," which was integral PR to helping him secure the Democratic party nomination and eventually win the presidential election.
The only other instance where a winning scenario like this occurred was in 1972, when Democrat George McGovern placed third in Iowa and second in New Hampshire. McGovern would eventually win the Democratic presidential nomination but lose to Richard Nixon in the presidency.
So these events are rare—every other candidate in 12 sets of caucuses and primaries spanning from 1972 to 2016 would lose after finishing top two or worse in both contests.
There's a lot that goes into this type of thing. While the Iowa Caucus and the New Hampshire primary aren't damning—on paper—the first two election events set in motion a momentum of public opinion, media attention or scrutiny, and a candidate's inflow of funding.
But, there is still one way that the former vice-president can rebound, and write history in the process: win South Carolina.
Despite grim prospects, which have taken a "severe downturn" in Larry Sabato's eyes, a political scientist and professor of politics at the University of Virginia. A Biden Presidency isn't impossible, but South Carolina is crucial to Biden's campaign, he said.
"I think he's betting everything on South Carolina" and he wants to use it as a springboard to the 'big one' three days later—Super Tuesday," Sabato said.
South Carolina is so vital to Biden because his "strength all along has been his strong support among African Americans," Sabato went on, "which usually comprises 40 to 50 percent or more of the vote in democratic primaries."
"If Biden can't do well in his area of strength, then it really is over for him," he said.
All things considered, you "shouldn't write off candidates," Sabato added, until their prospects completely collapse. If Biden wants to achieve feats never before done, perhaps becoming the second coming of the "comeback kid," then South Carolina it is.
Newsweek has reached out to the Biden campaign through email and representatives have not yet responded.

Beyer will propose a 1000% tax on assault weapons
Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) is drafting a bill to impose a hefty tax on assault weapons in the wake of recent mass shootings across the United States.
Beyer's office told The Hill the proposal was a workaround to avoid GOP opposition to legislation banning high-capacity weapons outright.
"Congressman Beyer has seen action to stop gun violence hampered by Senate Republicans using the filibuster after horrific mass shootings for years, this legislation represents an effort to put a new option on the table for those who believe gun safety reforms are urgently needed to save lives," Beyer's deputy chief of staff Aaron Fritschner said in an email.
Beyer's proposal would tax AR-15 model guns and other firearms considered "assault" weapons under conditions set out in a separate bill from Rep. David Cicilline (DR.I.), said Breyer's office at The Hill.
This law defines these firearms as "military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines," according to a Press release of Cicillin when it was introduced in March last year.
Instead of banning assault weapons altogether, Beyer's proposal would impose a 1,000% gun tax on manufacturers, producers and importers. The bill would exempt government entities such as federal, state and local law enforcement, as well as the military.
New AR-15 style guns range in price from $500 to over $2,000, depending BNC News. As such, a 1,000% tax on it would raise the price of these guns to between $5,000 and $20,000.
Gun control legislation would need to hit a 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster in the Senate, making passage highly unlikely even if all 50 Democrats are united.
However, a tax would be more likely to be allowed to go through budget reconciliation, which would only require 50 votes to pass.
"Taxes get more deference in fiscal reconciliation than other policies from a parliamentary perspective," said Zach Moller, Third Way's economic program director. Business Intern.
Beyer's proposal comes after a series of high-profile mass shootings in Buffalo, NY, Uvalde, Texas and Tulsa, Okla. put gun control at the top of the Democratic agenda. However, Democratic leaders have also been cautious about forcing members to vote hard ahead of the crucial midterm elections.
A number of gun reforms being discussed are widely popular with the public. A recent Morning Consult and Politico survey showing that 88% of respondents supported a background check requirement on all gun sales.
Earlier this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California) said House Democrats would soon consider legislation banning military-style assault weapons, marking Congress' most aggressive response to today on gun control.
Zach Schonfeld contributed to this report.

Owner & CEO
Our Company History....
At least five times a day, we are asked why our company is named "DENVER" Sign Supply Co., Inc. No, we are not located in Denver, Colorado, and there is no Mr. or Mrs. Denver!
Our Company is named after a small, rural, 60-year-old west Texas town of about 5,000 people. The town is Denver City, and it is located about 80 miles southwest of Lubbock, 80 miles north/northwest of Midland, and about 40 miles north/northeast of Hobbs, New Mexico. Oil was discovered in 1939, and Denver City, born as an oil boomtown, was named after the old Denver Producing and Refining Company, which WAS headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Now that you know where Denver City, Texas is located, you also know where the benchmark "West Texas Intermediate Crude" comes from to this very day!
Larry M. Powenski, (president of Denver Sign Supply) was born and raised in Denver City, but left in 1970 through an oil field transfer and also to attend LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. (For a location reference, we are located about 9 miles north of Baton Rouge).
When the company was founded in 1977, a name was needed that was easy to remember, spell, pronounce, and also meant something to the owners. Since we held good memories of Denver City, it was decided that we would name our company after the town. And, yes, we do still subscribe to the hometown newspaper, THE DENVER CITY PRESS!
The Denver City area is rich in oil and natural gas, and is now the center of the world's largest CO-2 project. Denver City is known for it's rich history in ranching and also for cotton, peanut, chili pepper and watermelon farming. It is an area where honesty and hard work are the rules rather than the exceptions. We are proud of our company name and the town it is named after, and we visit the area as often as possible.

Brotherly Love: Patriots to Hold Joint Practice Sessions with Philadelphia Eagles
The New England Patriots continue to march closer to the start of 2021 Training Camp. With two weeks remaining until players must report to camp, the Pats have revealed further details on their training schedule, as they prepare for the 2021 NFL season.
On Tuesday, the team announced that they will travel to Philadelphia for joint practice sessions against the Eagles prior to their preseason game on Thursday, Aug. 19. The practice sessions will take place on Monday, Aug. 16 and Tuesday, Aug. 17. The times of each practice session have yet to be determined.
Last season, joint practices were not allowed, and preseason games were cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions during the pandemic. The Patriots last participated in joint practice sessions in 2019, traveling to both Nashville, Tennessee to practice with the Titans and to Detroit for joint sessions with the Lions.
The Pats and Eagles are no strangers to joint practice sessions. In 2014, the Patriots participated in joint sessions at home against Philadelphia. In 2013, New England traveled to Philadelphia for joint practice sessions, as well.

The Rainbow Book Club, organisers of the Port Harcourt Book Festival, and the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas, will be hosting three poets who were shortlisted for the 2022 Nigeria Prize for Literature on Sunday.
It was earlier reported that the poets, Suéddie Vershima Agema (Memory and the Call of Water); Romeo Oriogun (Noman), and Saddiq Dzukogi (Your Crib, My Qibla), were shortlisted on August 26, among 11 poets who made the long list of the $100,000 literature prize organised by the NLNG.
The prize is rotated yearly among four literary genres; prose, poetry, drama, and children's literature.
This year's winner will be announced in October.
The one-day event themed, 'Conversations in the Garden City' will feature the poets with engagements on their books, stage performances, and book reviews, among other activities that will improve "reader-writer" interactions and "enhance reading culture."
Speaking to Saturday PUNCH on Wednesday, the festival director of the PBF, Koko Kalango, said, "The choice of Port Harcourt to host the shortlisted poets before an eventual winner is announced is strategic, given the pivotal role the Garden City plays in the Nigeria oil and gas sector."
The RBC is part of the Rainbow Foundation, a platform known by culture aficionados as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization club involved in reading culture programmes.
The foundation spearheaded the naming of Port Harcourt as a UNESCO World Book Capital in 2014 through its projects in the same year.

It's probably pausing due to buffering, meaning the BlackBerry connection speed is not as fast as the video speed. Or imagine a trying to drink a thick milkshake through a tiny straw...
I don't think there is a fix for that unless you can get a lower resolution video stream. I don't know about connecting your dvr to the broadband -- doesn't seem likely to me that it would work. The other consideration is streaming video/movies uses a LOT of data. If you are on the 5 Gb data plan, you could go through that very quickly.
Definitely an issue with buffering. You actually will see "Buffering" at the bottom of the videos screen when this is happening. I allow the video to play so that it gets through the aggravating parts of the start and stop and then I start the video from the beginning. Usually because the video has completed the buffer process I can watch the video w/o interruption.
With the DVR you would need a dedicated POTS line in order to connect and order movies, etc. through your satellite service provider.

Let's check our Goodyear Assurance Ultra Tour review. Goodyear Assurance UltraTour is an all-season tire, which is only available through Discount Tire. It's designed to fit almost all coupes, minivans, and sedans. It promises plenty of comforts as well as reliable year-round traction, but can it really deliver?
The Goodyear Assurance UltraTour review will go over everything you should learn about the tire including its pros and cons, its dimensions, specs prices, and warranty policies. So, stay tuned.
Be sure to look through our other reviews, such as Our Goodyear Eagle T-Rex Review as well as our Goodyear Wrangler MTR with Kevlar Review to discover the ideal tire for you.
Overall Thoughts
We love this brand's newly released Goodyear Assurance UltraTour tire for a range of reasons and believe it's an excellent option to add to the lineup of passenger tires. It offers a fantastic balance between comfort on the road and handling on the road. The distinctive tread compound and Goodyear's tire technologies aid significantly in providing excellent comfort, and also preserving the stability and handling you want from an all-season touring tire of the highest quality.
The tread has an asymmetrical tread design, which, together with a continuous center rib
as well as numerous shoulder blocks, provides optimal control, traction cornering, stability, and stability on wet and dry terrain.
One area that could be increasing performance in winter conditions. Although it can be able to move quite well with lighter amounts of snow, the deep snow and more specifically roads with icy surfaces could be a different story.
In the end, there's nothing stopping us from buying this tire. With its lower price and smooth ride, the UltraTour stands out within its category.
- The smooth and comfortable quality
- Dry traction
- Low road noise
- Ice Traction
A Comfortable, But Somewhat Noisy Tire
To offer the highest levels of comfortable, this Goodyear tire is equipped with tightly packed shoulder blocks as well as an internal structure specifically designed to absorb bumps on the road. Another advantage of the tire's design is that it can reduce road noise too.
After a couple of hours of driving around in the UltraTours, I've discovered that they're comfortable on small and moderate bumps. The tires absorb road bumps well, and they soften rough pavement. However, they aren't the quietest.
They were tested on many different surfaces and conditions, and greater and minimal road noise than you'd expect was heard in the interior of our test 2013 Honda Accord. It's not a nightmare or a snore however, it's much more than what I've heard in Goodyear's premium models such as the Eagle Sport.
The Sport is There
This isn't an exclusive performance tire. However, Goodyear nonetheless desired the UltraTour to be more efficient than your typical touring tire. It is equipped with an A traction rating however, it only has a B rating in terms of temperature.
Not intended for the track, I ran the tires through a moderate slalom in order to mimic the excitement of driving on a thrilling, curving road. I was amazed by the amount of bite when you first turn in. It's not as fast as a specially-designed performance tire but I didn't anticipate getting as much grip laterally from a touring tire that's more concerned with longevity and comfort.
On-ramps for highways can be going at an alarming speed since there's plenty of caution on The UltraTours before adhesion goes out.
Longevity and Wet Weather Traction
To make sure that the tires last for a long period of time, they are backed by the 620 treadwear mark along with a 70, 000 Mile treadwear guarantee. While I'm not able to speak about durability after only some thousand miles on the road, I can affirm that they run quite straight on the road and are smooth to change direction in changing direction.
If you live in areas with a lot of rain, Goodyear claims the Assurance UltraTour offers an excellent grip in wet weather due to four lateral grooves that channel water away from contact areas. Also, the traction in wet weather is further enhanced by the squeegee-like sipes as well as the lateral groove.
I had the opportunity to take the tires during a moderate rainstorm and they lived up to the hype. Wet traction for braking and lateral braking is superb on roads. The tires never sank, or side-step when traveling at speeds that exceed expansion joints. While the four-cylinder Accord with a variable transmission isn't exactly a monster of torque but a forceful acceleration during wet conditions will not cause any of the tires on its front.
Vehicles That Can Use Goodyear Assurance UltraTour
Goodyear UltraTour is specifically designed for people who drive all kinds of high-end and mid-range coupes, sedans, and minivans. Below is a list of the most well-known cars that are suitable for the Goodyear UltraTour.
- Audi A3, A6, Allroad
- Chevrolet Cobalt, Monte Carlo, HHR, Impala, Malibu
- Chrysler PT Cruiser, Sebring, 300, Town and Country
- Dodge Charger, Intrepid, Avenger, Caliber
- Ford Flex, Mustang, Thunderbird, Crown Victoria, Focus, Escape,
- usion
- Honda Accord, Civic, Fit, Odyssey, CR-V
- Hyundai Sonata
- Infiniti G35x, Q45
- Kia Optima, Forte
- Mazda Protege 5, Mazda6, Mazda3
- Mitsubishi Lancer
- Nissan Altima, Maxima, Versa, Sentra
- Pontiac Grand Am, Grand Prix, Vibe
- Saab 9-3, 9-5, 900
- Subaru Legacy, Impreza
- Suzuki Reno, Aerio, Forenza
- Toyota Matrix, Camry, Solara, Corolla, Prius
- Volkswagen Jetta, GTi, Passat, Golf GLS
- Volvo S40, S70
Goodyear offers a six-year (or 70,000 miles) tread warranty with the UltraTour. The tread uniformity guarantee is valid in the initial year, or the initial 2/32 inch of wear.
The workmanship and materials are guaranteed for 6 years and include free replacement within the first year, or for the initial 2/32 inches of wear. A prorated amount is offered for the remainder of the time or up to the final 2/3 inch of tread depth.

The Verdict: Goodyear Assurance Ultra Tour Review
It is the Goodyear Assurance UltraTour will be placed behind other premium Goodyear tires such as the Assurance Triple Tread and Fuel Max. For a 225/55R17 tire included in the testing Honda Accord, expect to spend around $136 for the best tire, either at the Discount Tire store near your location or DiscountTire.com.
Comfortable, long-lasting, and athletic The Assurance UltraTour offers a different cheaper way to join the Goodyear family.
Are Goodyear Assurance All Season Tires Quiet?
This tire runs quiet too. On the downside, it has the lowest in its class, wet traction that is more for spirited drivers. We've also heard reviewers mention lower than anticipated miles from the tread warranty of 65,000 miles. Overall it seems that the Goodyear All-Season provides pretty good price-to-quality.
Is Goodyear Assurance All Season Good For Snow?
Goodyear's tires for all seasons have optimized tread patterns that provide excellent grip on wet, dry, and snowy roads.

The Cowgirl Grill offered up excellent BBQ on another evening. Cocktails and dinner at the only Native American Pueblo owned hotel in the city of Santa Fe, the Amaya at the Hotel Santa Fe, served up some fare on another night with nods to the Native American history but prepared in a contemporary menu.
The Santa Fe Farmers Market was a highlight of the post-trip with its bright colors and authentic wares. La Choza offered journalists the opportunity to learn the differences in New Mexican cuisine and Old Mexican cuisine. Ten Thousand Waves Japanese Spa Resort was the relaxing setting of a chance to enjoy a soak in communal hot tubs.

Check in to Norwich City vs Arsenal
Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Bernard claims that he almost joined Arsenal last summer, only they simply couldn't afford to complete the deal, according to Goal.com.
Read More Arsenal Transfer News
The 21-year-old, who was named in Luiz Felipe Scolari Brazilian World Cup squad this week, joined the Ukrainian giants last summer in a a £21.5m deal from Atletico Mineiro in his homeland.
All summer long he had been linked with a move to north London outfit Tottenham Hotpsur, but revealed that for all the transfer talk, it was only the Ukrainian champions who were willing to stump up the cash in order to bring him on board.
"We had offers from Tottenham, and according to my Atletico president Arsenal were interested too, but didn't have the money," Bernard told FourFourTwo magazine.
"All of it happened in a moment Europe was facing a serious financial crisis, so there was interest from various teams, but the only one able to pay straight away was Shakhtar."
Bernard has been a key figure in a heavily disrupted season for Shakhtar this term, clocking up 25 appearances and scoring twice in the process.

MOSTYSKA, Ukraine — Russia's invasion has displaced half of Ukraine's kids. On a hospital mattress in a city near the border with Poland, slightly woman with an extended blonde braid and wearing pink is certainly one of them.
To get there, Zlata Moiseinko survived a persistent coronary heart situation, each day bombings, days of sheltering in a moist and chilly basement and nights of sleeping in a freezing automotive. The delicate 10-year-old turned so unsettled that her father risked his life to return to their ninth-floor house 60 miles (90 kilometers) south of the capital, Kyiv, to rescue her pet hamster, Lola, to consolation her.
The animal now rests in a small cage beside Zlata's mattress in a schoolhouse that has been transformed right into a discipline hospital operated by Israeli medical staff. The woman and her household hope to affix mates in Germany if they will organize the paperwork that permits her father to cross the border with them.
"I would like peace for all Ukraine," the little woman stated, shyly.
The United Nations kids's company says half of the nation's kids, or 4.3 million of an estimated 7.5 million, have now fled their properties, together with about 1.8 million refugees who've left the nation.
The youngsters are in all places, curled up amid suitcases in practice stations, humanitarian help tents, evacuation convoys. It is among the largest such displacements since World Conflict II.
Zlata's mom, Natalia, folded her fingers in prayer and was near tears. Thursday marks a month of warfare and already she will be able to hardly take any extra.
"I ask for assist for our kids and the aged, " the mom stated.
She recalled the escape from their neighborhood of Bila Tserkva that put her daughter's life in peril past the ever-present menace of airstrikes.
As Russian planes pounded overhead, aiming for the native army base, the household determined to run. They discovered shelter for every week in a chilly, damp basement in a village. The woman's household struggled to maintain her calm and attended, since her coronary heart situation requires fixed care.
"We gave her medicine to calm her down," her mom stated. Nevertheless it was not sufficient. Each loud sound was jarring. The household had few choices, with out family and friends to name on for assist alongside the street west in the direction of Poland and security. Ultimately they tried to shelter with an acquaintance of the woman's grandmother, Nadia, however the sounds of airplanes and air raid sirens adopted them.
On the ultimate drive to the border, Zlata and her household slept of their automotive in freezing climate. On the border, amid confusion over paperwork and the woman's father, they had been turned again. Ukraine will not be permitting males between 18 and 60 to go away the nation in case they're known as to struggle, with few exceptions.
It was by probability that the household heard concerning the Israeli discipline hospital within the Ukrainian border city of Mostyska. Now they're regrouping in relative consolation, with out the scream of sirens.
At occasions, to fill the silence, Zlata performs the piano on the college. She missed enjoying whereas the household was on the run, her mom stated. She proudly confirmed off her daughter's YouTube channel of performances. The newest video, nonetheless, confirmed their basement hideout as an alternative. Because the shaking digital camera panned to indicate a naked mild bulb and concrete partitions, the mom narrated in a whisper.
"All we have now is potatoes and some blankets," she stated within the recording. "I hope we can't keep right here lengthy."
For now, till the household strikes once more, there may be some peace. A drawing by Zlata has been tacked up within the hallway. On a close-by mattress, a stuffed panda and a doll have been positioned in a toy embrace.
The woman has been reworked. She arrived on the discipline hospital severely dehydrated, stated one of many Israeli physicians, Dr. Michael Segal, who was born in Kyiv and who has been moved by the tales he hears from again dwelling.
"It's totally near my coronary heart," Segal stated of Ukraine. Folks have misplaced the whole lot "in a single temporary second."
Zlata's household "got here right here crying, not figuring out what to do," he added.
The medical employees stepped in and even handled her hamster, her first-ever pet, medical doctors stated.
And reminded of that, the woman's exhausted mom smiled.
"That hamster's the famous person of the clinic," she stated. "It had been over-stressed, too."

…in the context menu for each playlist in the the Playlists Library. So,
Play next…
–Shuffle play–
Add to playing queue"
…in the context menu for each playlist in the the Playlists Library. So,
Why not click the playlist then click the random button? It's the same amount of clicks and way easier to do than clicking small 3 dots and small menu lines.
Largely because it's what I'm used to and the layout of buttons (with exception to the play/shuffle buttons) in the playlist view are kind of confusing. The best case scenario for me would be to just press one button to shuffle play a playlist from the playlist library.
I can't think of a beautiful way for 1 click play / queue / shuffle.
But what is confusing in the top rows of buttons they are the same everywhere for consistency and explicit? Specially if you are ok with the first 2.
One way to shut me up is to put a toggle in to switch out "play" for "shuffle play" for playlists.
I don't know what those buttons are that aren't play and shuffle play on the playlist view and after spending 20 seconds trying to figure it out I don't care all that much. Tooltips are probably helpful here.
The buttons are consistent with the rest of the app, there's a queue button and a smart mix button (it plays the media with an advanced random but not random order).
Not sure to understand the switch, I guess you mean the play from the 3 dots?
Anyway in next version I'll also enable the drag and drop for playlists with a shuffle target for easier actions.
What's the "advanced" random mean?
The actual names are personal mixes as in the home view.
It's based on play counts/ ratings / last played to ensure that there's things you like more, yet still other things and still ensuring diversity between runs.
Cool, thanks for that

How to Get an Auto Insurance Quote With No Credit Check
Last Updated on April 18, 2021
Your credit score impacts car insurance rates. Fortunately, there are ways to get auto insurance quotes with no credit check.
In most states, you can get an auto insurance quote without a credit check, assuming you know where to look. However, you cannot obtain a full car insurance policy without submitting to a credit check.
In some states, you can buy car insurance without a credit check. California, Massachusetts, and Hawaii all prohibit insurers from using credit score to calculate rates.
Today, we're explaining everything you need to know about how to get an auto insurance quote with no credit check.

How Credit Score Impacts Car Insurance
Credit score impacts many things in life – including car insurance.
Drivers with a bad credit score or low credit score are riskier to insure than drivers with a good credit score. Insurance is all about risk. Insurers use as many factors as possible to build a customized risk profile. If you're riskier to insure based on your driver profile, then you'll pay more for car insurance.
In fact, drivers with low credit scores could pay over $1,000 more per year for car insurance. The average American pays around $1,450 per year for full coverage car insurance, while drivers with bad credit scores pay an average of around $2,300 per year for the same policy.
Whether you like it or not, insurers check credit scores to calculate rates.
How to Get Car Insurance Without a Credit Check
In most states, insurers require a credit check to complete your risk profile. Insurers want to know as much about you as possible to calculate rates. Statistically, credit score plays a significant role in risk, which is why every major insurance company requires a credit check before assigning a policy.
Only three states have banned insurers from using credit scores to calculate auto insurance premiums: California, Massachusetts, and Hawaii. If you live in these three states, then your insurer cannot check your credit score to calculate rates. Your credit score will not impact your premiums. Insurers use other factors – like your ZIP code, driving history, and annual mileage – to build a risk profile.
In all other states and territories, insurers require a credit check to complete your car insurance application.
Some insurers provide provisional car insurance pending a credit check. You might buy car insurance today for basic coverage, and the insurer adds more coverage after completing the credit check, for example. If you lied about your credit score on the application, then the insurer could cancel your policy after checking your credit score.
In other words, it's hard to get a full auto insurance policy without a credit check. However, you can still get a car insurance quote without a credit check.
How to Get an Auto Insurance Quote With No Credit Check
Thanks to the internet, it's easy to get a car insurance quote without a credit check.
In fact, many car insurance comparison websites require no personally identifiable information before providing a quote. You might be able to receive a quote just for providing a name and ZIP code, for example.
Of course, the more information you provide, the more customized your rate will be. The more information the insurer has about you, the clearer your risk profile will be.
Check car insurance comparison websites today to get a car insurance quote without a credit check.
Best Car Insurance Companies for Drivers with Bad Credit
Having a bad credit score makes car insurance expensive. However, some insurers welcome drivers with bad credit as a way to balance their insurance pool.
Other companies specialize in providing car insurance to drivers with bad credit. High-risk car insurance companies provide basic car insurance at the lowest possible rates to drivers with bad credit, for example. It's more expensive than ordinary car insurance, but it allows you to legally drive.
If you have a bad credit score, then you should still be able to find competitively-priced car insurance from any of the major providers.
Consider requesting a quote from any of the following large insurers if you have a bad credit score:
|Good credit
|Bad credit
|Annual difference
|Liberty Mutual
|State Farm
If you have no credit score or a very bad credit score, then the insurers above may decline your business. You may be unable to get car insurance from an ordinary company. In this situation, you must buy car insurance from a high-risk insurer or another specialty insurer. These insurance companies specialize in insuring drivers with bad credit or no credit.
Why Do Car Insurance Companies Check My Credit Score?
Car insurance is all about risk. The riskier you are to insure, the more the car insurance company could have to pay in the event of an accident. The more risk the insurer absorbs, the more you'll pay for car insurance.
There are some obvious things that affect risk. Your driving history plays a big role in premiums, for example. A driver with multiple at-fault accidents in the past three years will pay more for car insurance than a driver with a clean record.
Other factors that impact risk include the value of your vehicle, your annual mileage, the safety rating of your vehicle, and more.
Credit score also impacts risk. Statistically, drivers with bad credit scores are the riskiest drivers to insure. If you have a bad credit score, then you are statistically more likely to cost the insurer money. You're more likely to make a claim, cause an accident, and engage in high-risk behavior.
Remember: car insurance isn't personal. It's a business. Your car insurance company is agreeing to cover your risk, and you're paying your insurer to cover this risk. Your credit score is one of the dozens of factors insurers use to calculate risk.
Insurers Use Credit Score in Different Ways
Some insurers put a heavy emphasis on credit scores. Certain insurance companies charge significantly higher rates to drivers with bad credit, for example. Other insurance companies only charge slightly higher rates to drivers with bad credit.
That's why it's important to compare quotes online. You might pay $4,000 per year as a driver with bad credit with GEICO, for example, while State Farm only charges you $3,500 per year. Your credit score doesn't change, but the insurer's weighting system does.
Compare as many quotes as possible to ensure you're paying the lowest possible rates for car insurance based on your credit score.
What's a Good or Bad Credit Score?
How good or bad does your credit score need to be to impact car insurance premiums? To answer that question, it helps to understand average credit scores in the United States.
Most drivers have a credit score between 600 and 750. Any number within this range is considered a fair or average credit score in the United States.
If your credit score is above 700, then that's considered a good credit score. At 700 and above, you may notice significantly cheaper rates for car insurance.
A credit score below 600 is considered a bad credit score. At 600 and below, you'll notice significantly higher rates for car insurance.
Insurers Check Your Credit-based Insurance Score – Not Your Credit Score
Technically, insurers do not check your credit score. They check your credit-based insurance score. It's a similar rating, but it's designed specifically for car insurance companies.
Insurers can access your credit-based insurance score to calculate rates. If you have a good credit score, then you likely have a good credit-based insurance score. If you have a bad credit score, then you likely have a bad credit-based insurance score.
Generally, there won't be a significant difference between your credit score and credit-based insurance score. However, your credit-based insurance score may not be as bad as you think, which means you may not need to pay higher rates for car insurance.
Final Word on No Credit Check Auto Insurance Quotes

This mistress told this guy that he was a boring date and she did not want such a person. She told him to pull up his socks but he did not and instead he started calling her names. She snapped and she punished him by choking him with her facesitting. She wrestled him, pinned him down and then did whatever she wanted to him. He learned his lesson and became good to her and they went for another date and this time it was a great one.
Mistress Anastazia did not like how dishonest this guy was and she had to make sure he changed. The mistress used her wrestling prowess to make him do things her way. The mistress cruelly beat him up and she smothered him with her feet. He was head locked and he could not even break free from her tight grip. He panicked and he even peed on himself as she humiliated him.
These mistresses did not want to live in fear of this bully and that is why they chose to fight back. They ganged up on him and they wrestled him. He was taken by surprise and they did not let him recover from his initial shock. He was made to feel pain he had not felt as they choked him and also beat him up with their martial arts skills.
Princess Blondie felt that her boyfriend was a weakling and she did not want to have such a boyfriend. She had to do what she could to make sure that she taught him a lesson he would not forget any time soon. So she went ahead and she used her wrestling prowess to beat him, choke him and headlock him. The humiliation made him work harder to become stronger than her.
Mistress Maria is the kind of person who likes to continually develop herself and gain new skills and competencies. And increasingly, she felt that she needed stronger opponents that the ones she had as she wanted to remain a wrestling champion. So she tested her skills against a male opponent today. She knew it was going to be a huge test but she was ready for it. The mistress enjoyed herself but most importantly, she won as she choked the guy and held on for dear life and the guy could not break free. But it tested every fiber of her body.
This guy was fond of lying and mistress Kristiana did not want to let him get away with it. He had to learn his lesson and she made sure he learned it the hard way. The mistress wrestled him and she pinned him down and choked him. He cried for mercy but she ignored him and went on doing her thing until she was satisfied that he had learned his lesson.
This mistress did not like how this guy made life a living hell for some people. He was a bully and she did not want to live where a bully operated and made life hard for others. So she took matters in her hands and she took him head on. She wrestled him and she quickly pinned him down and she beat his ass and choked him until he begged her for mercy and promised never to bully again.
Mistress Bertie and her lover mistress Trina wanted to have some fun which they had not had before. So they tried domination but this one involved wrestling. They wanted to do some naughty things to each other but they chose to wrestle first and have the loser get forced to do them by the winner. It was a lot of fun and in no time, they were both turned on.
Mistress Andrea was done training girls and she wanted to make the jump to men. She found this guy in need of a trainer for an upcoming championship and she wanted to help him but he was skeptical. She told him to wrestle her and if she won, she would be his trainer but if he won, she would leave. They wrestled hard but in the end she won and choked him until he surrendered, something he had never done before. She became his trainer.
This guy was well built. He had an enviable body and because of it, a lot of people feared him. In addition to that, he was a bully and he terrorized people for fun and for his selfish gains. Mistress Kasie had had enough of that and she wanted to put a stop to it. So she wrestled him today and shocked everyone when she managed to leg scissor him and make him pee his pants. He never bullied anyone again.

Tottenham Hotspur right-back Emerson Royal experienced a terrible thing on his post-season holiday in Brazil.
Emerson Royal experienced the robbery. Moreover, shots were fired at the scene. However, the player says around 17 shots were fired.
In an interview with Sportv Emerson said : "At that moment, God somehow controlled me… because I felt that nothing was happening,"
"I approached the thief, telling him: 'Calm down, calm down, everybody calm down, I'll give you whatever you want'.
"When I gave him what he wanted, I approached him, because I had already seen his evil look. I saw that it wasn't just the watch.
"When I gave it to him, he moved away and pulled his gun to shoot me. As he was about to shoot me, I pushed him, I hit the gun and he shot into the air.
"It was at that moment, when I pushed him, he lost his balance and the policeman shot him. Then, he starts running."
"I mean, it's God at that point. Because we were in a square, there were 15 people or so. In a small square. And he started shooting all over the place and he didn't hit anybody.
"He fired 17 or 19 shots, if I'm not mistaken. He had a pistol that was a 9mm, if I'm not mistaken, semi-automatic. It is a weapon that is not normal for a thief, nor for a policeman.
"So I understood that it was a moment that could cost me my life, but it taught me a lesson to be careful. And now I'm calm."

Santiago de Cuba: 500 Years of Legacy
Santiago de Cuba, Jul 21. – The Santiago de Cuba City Historian's Office plans to publish "Cronicas de la Republica" (Storeis of the Republic) and new editions of articles by Emilio Bacardi y Moreau to mark the 500th anniversary of the city of Santiago de Cuba.
Dr. Olga Portuondo, winner of the National History Prize and director of the Historian's Office, said the first book was written by Alcibiades Poveda, a diligent researcher of the history of Santiago de Cuba, while the second is one of the vital works by the city's first mayor.
Portuondo highlighted that in celebrating the 495th anniversary, so close to half a millennium, in 2015, it is important to emphasize that Santiago was the country's capital until 1608, following Baracoa, on the island's eastern tip.
Santiago, "Cuba's second city," was the administrative center of the eastern region and of the province of Oriente, created in 1905, until the political-administrative division in 1976, when five new provinces were created, Portuondo also noted.
Founded 13 years ago, the Santiago de Cuba Historian's Office has accumulated a rich legacy of research that reveals little-known or studied aspects of the seventh and final demarcation established by the Spanish on the island.
The Office's celebration will also include events devoted to the French and Italian presence in the city, as well as local historians' talks, which will bring together specialists from around the country.(Prensa Latina)

World-renowned retired soccer celebrity David Beckham (center) watches Manny Pacquiao fight Brandon Rios during the Venetian Macao in November. (Image: Reuters/Tyrone Siu)
It should be nice to be therefore famous, so adored, as you are able to pretty much sell anything to anyone for any price. And perhaps not that he needs the money with an estimated net worth of $300 million, but such is the situation for iconic retired soccer star and universally recognized hottie David Beckham a man that is so full of the celebrity galaxy which he and wife/former Spice Girl Victoria had been on the short list to wait Prince William's wedding, after all.
Branding Sands
Now Beckham seems to have carved a niche for himself as a sort of mercenary promoter for hire, and the latest taker is Las Vegas Sands Corporation, which is making usage of Beckham's charm, apperance and worldwide adoration to advertise their gambling enterprises in both Singapore and Macau.
While there's no term on what kind of fee Beckham commands for this sort of thing which could include anything from being seated front and center at a Manny Pacquiao Brandon Rios fight at the Macau that is venetian to a Marina Bay Sands charity event in Singapore we can imagine he doesn't work for cheap these days.
Beckham might not really have to do much but show up and get TV coverage, but for Sands, it's nevertheless a deal that is good. The largest casino operator in Macau remains stymied by mainland Chinese advertising prohibitions, which forbid any casino promotion or gambling whatsoever. So Beckham's videogenic apperance combined with huge popularity of soccer in China are ways to get their four Macau properties more exposure.
'He was associated with our very Sands that is successful for community festival. His participation inspired the young adults he met with in addition to the area charities that benefited from his generosity,' stated George Tanasijevich, Marina Bay Sands' president and chief executive officer.
'[Beckham may help us] as we aggressively explore opportunities to expand that is further presence in Asia,' added Sands president and CEO Michael Leven in a released statement.
Upscale and Debonair Is A Good Fit
Beckham is a fit that is natural Sands; along with his rugged, yet refined good looks and aura, and name recognition that appears to cross all many years and nationalities, he's an instantaneous media-grabber at any event. With Marina Bay touting itself as having the entire world's biggest casino inside a posh built-in resort that includes high-end shopping and restaurants, and the Venetian Macao being promoted as Asia's largest gaming and activity center, a globally recognized name and face like Beckham's would appear to become a perfect match for their need certainly to be seen and covered regularly and in all media.
Over the top of all that, Beckham himself a father of four with wife Victoria appears to have a rapport that is natural kids, which is wonderful for general public relations and community feel-good tales.
In November, the superstar met with 100 young ones during the Venetian Macao, where he posed for photos with them; the youngsters represented a number of charitable groups, from the Macau Special Olympics to the Association of Rehabilitation of Drug Abusers of Macau. After the photos, Beckham gave an hour-long meeting to a press contingent that is eager.
Sands Corporation claims they also plan to utilize Beckham to promote their dining and luxury shopping outlets at their casinos that are various. Beyond that, the business isn't saying much about how their partnership with Beckham will unfold down the line, and neither is Beckham himself.
Want to Spend New Year's Eve in Nevada? Bring Plenty of Cash
Las vegas is often a spectacle on brand New Year's Eve, having a massive Strip-wide pyrotechnics display.
Next to possibly New York's Times Square, nowhere in the global world says 'New Year's Eve' like Las vegas, nevada. In town that's built on booze, intercourse and gambling, whom doesn't wish to bring in 2014 where in fact the party never stops?
Naturally, that is what the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) is counting in, because in Las Vegas, New Year's Eve is big, big business. This year, LVCVA is expecting some 335,000 wild and crazy revelers to arrive, and it very close to last year's numbers with them comes an anticipated nongaming revenue of about $213 million, which makes.
Guests Will Pay A Lot Of Money
That is still pretty great news, though, in accordance with LVCVA senior vice president of marketing Cathy Tull. She says that the true numbers remain up from two years ago, whenever about 314,000 tourists brought in some $192.6 million in nongaming spending. Naturally, a good number of that is liquor, marked up sometimes because much as 2,000 % per bottle in the fancier nightclubs in city and that's on a night that is normal so possibly even more for brand New Year's Eve.
Rooms in hotels are making bank, that's for sure; by having a 98 percent occupancy rate over the board and virtually all properties will demand a stay that is minimum of nights to get in. Place rates are going to be maxed down to boot, and if there's no necessity your reservation yet, chances are, you are away from fortune just before also get to this gambling mecca.
Want a look at what you are likely in for? Well, a king that is deluxe at Mandalay Bay definitely a higher-end Strip home will run you close to $527, before income tax and extras. If you would like to go a bit more 'budget', you would certainly be shelling out $409 at minimum for a coveted Strip view room at Planet Hollywood where you can watch the massive city-wide fireworks display while sipping insanely upcharged champagne from the convenience of your own window. a scenario that is similar at Treasure Island mid-Strip will pokies machines indian dreaming download run you a mere $386 per night.
Entertainment Galore
Of course, few individuals expect to be spending New Year's Eve couched up inside their rooms, and the town makes big bucks on fancy prix-fix dinners, lavishly decked out nightclubs, and headliner activity to boot. Depending in your age range and what your idea of 'fun' is, there is something for everyone.
'[Our Trump rooftop pool deck] was highly popular,' stated Trump International advertising manager Jason Demuth. ' Our emphasis is service, so we do not charge for music or entertainment on our home. And we have champagne toast that is complimentary. I think that's type of unique.'
Needless to say, by 'complimentary', you are able to usually assume the charge is created in elsewhere in Las Vegas; plus, that's just for your glass that is first who has one glass of anything in Las Vegas? With this privilege, you will end up having to pay $334 an at trump night.
Because of this demand and overflow, many high-end casinos off the Strip that typically cater to more of a locals crowd will also be charging you top dollar for their rooms. For example, Station Casinos now better understood by the public that is general the very first online poker providers in Nevada via their UltimatePoker.com site is charging $300 a night for a Green Valley Ranch stay or $480 for the Red that is elegant Rock, both far off the Strip. As a result of the valley geography of Las vegas, nevada, visitors will probably still be able to see most of the primary fireworks, albeit from a distance, of program.
In the event that you want to stay downtown, amidst the neon spectacular that is the Fremont Street Experience, anticipate to dole out $329 at the chi-chi Golden Nugget or $200 at the Golden that is not-so-much Gate. Also the budget properties in town will milk you dry: a South Las Vegas Strip Super 8 Motel desires $322 total for a two-night minimum, while the same deal at a Best Western on Paradise ( the street on that the Convention Center sits) will run you $387 for the two nights. And almost all among these properties were already sold out by mid-December.
As for entertainment, there's whatever you want, from high-brow to low-brow, and everything in between. Downtown's elegant brand new arts center, the Smith Center, features squeaky-voiced singer Kristin Chenoweth for a New Year's Eve songfest beginning at 9 p.m., with tickets operating about $60 each. The flashy Fremont Street Experience more of an alcohol than champagne crowd overall will host a Downtown Countdown by having a number of headliners, including boy that is bad Neil and Papa Roach; tickets are $40.
Several normally planned casino headliners will make more on simply New Year's Eve. The just-opened Britney Spears show 'Piece of me personally' are going at Planet Hollywood, as will Maroon 5 at Mandalay Bay and Bruno Mars at the Cosmopolitan.
Of course, it's not New Year's Eve in Las Vegas without the massive pyrotechnics display, placed on with enormous preparation each 12 months by the iconic Grucci family members. This present year, you could expect an eight-minute, multi-property run from seven Strip rooftops, from downtown's Stratosphere up to the Strip's Caesars Palace, and everything in between.
Maintaining Them on Site
The part that is hardest for every property is capturing those precious tourists bucks; to that end, one-upmanship is the name for the game. And with New Year's Eve hitting on A tuesday this season, most have tried to lure guests in the weekend before for maximum dollar output.
'They all attempt to gear to one thing you cannot get elsewhere. All the properties is attempting to cater activities because of their guests that will keep them on property,' said LVCVA's Tull.
If spending plan is no consideration, as an example, you can wine and dine during the Le that is high-end Cirque Bellagio (of 'Ocean's Eleven' popularity) for just $495 per individual; for that, you are going to be dining like Henry VIII himself on a dinner of lobster salad having a truffle vinaigrette, crazy Atlantic turbot, Kobe beef ox tail timbale and a fantasy dessert. Perhaps you believe that high-ticket price would add liquor, but you would be mistaken; if you prefer wine pairings with your dinner, tack on another $150 per person. And keep in mind, with taxes and an expected minimum 20 percent gratuity for everybody you encounter, your bill could effortlessly find yourself pushing the thousand-dollar mark by the time you're done.
Of course most likely your partying, you want some room service breakfast delivered the morning after, you are able to have that as well for another fee that is staggering. But whenever you feel like toast after a evening of hard partying, what's another $100 room service charge, after all?
Melco Crown Sets Aside $340 Million Loan for Philippines Casino
Melco Crown Entertainment is preparing to forge ahead using their Phillipines casino, City of Dreams, in Manila
Macau-based Melco Crown (Philippines) Resorts Corp. is readying a loan of $340 million to help secure the ongoing future of its resorts and gambling enterprises band of businesses, MCE Leisure Corp., in order to expedite the completion associated with City of Dreams Manila integrated resort and casino project.
The massive loan has been gathered from shareholder MCE (Philippines) Investments Ltd., and will act as a book for MCE Leisure in instance the organization's issued senior notes are declined.
'The shareholder loan is intended to be a back-up center arrangement plus it is currently expected that it will only be utilized by the borrower in the unlikely event that the senior records offering consisting of P15 billion aggregate principal quantity of five percent senior notes due 2019, that was priced on December 19, will never be finished,' explained Melco Philippines in its disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange last week.
Loans in Place
Melco Crown told the Philippine Stock Exchange that the organization will allow the leisure team to borrow the sum from MCE Leisure (Philippines) Corp. which may be assured by Melco Philippines, MCE Holdings (Philippines) Corp. and MCE Holdings No. 2 (Philippines) Corp., most of that are subsidiaries of the operator that is macau-based.

Belle Corp. is owned by Chinese Filipino billionaire tycoon Henry Sy, whom owns business interests in retail, property, banking and hospitality, among areas, and has now been nicknamed the Philippines Retail King.
Following on the heels of Enrique Razon's Solaire Resort and Casino which exposed its doors last March City of Dreams Manila could be the 2nd of four integrated resorts and gambling enterprises to start in Entertainment City, and will feature 365 video gaming tables, 1,680 slot machines, and a further 1,680 alternative gaming that is electronic for its guests.
As well as the casino side of the resort, City of desires Manila is also set to feature luxury resort accommodation and high-end retail outlets, aswell as a household entertainment center, gourmet restaurants and an exuberant nightlife.
Contingency Monies as Backup
With just around six months until the expected completion date, the task's developers are likely to breathe a little easier knowing that the funds are offered for capital and debt settlements, details of which are set to be issued at the end of January.
And since Melco Crown are going to be seeking to cover all feasible hindrances to the task, ensuring sufficient money is available in the event that debt documents fail to yield the anticipated returns through a contingency plan appears like a wise move if they want the doors to open in schedule as expected..
'It are going to be money well spent and the end product are often times that,' said Lawrence Ho, chief officer that is executive of Crown Entertainment, to reporters.
While the country's gambling market generally seems to ever be growing more popular, the $340 million loan which will be backed with equity according to Melco Crown will certainly come in handy to ensure that City of Dreams Manila lives as much as the expectations of the marketplace.

Classroom management practices in Japanese primary classrooms
Classroom management practices have been identified by observing effective teacher behavior or combining behavioral approaches that have been established through research (Oliver, Wehby, Reschly, 2011). Researchers claim that, in order to achieve effective instruction, teachers need to possess two types of knowledge: knowledge of subject matter and knowledge of classroom management (Kagan, 1992).
This study was conducted to identify good practices of classroom management in the Japanese primary school classrooms, based on lesson observations at two primary schools in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. Ten lessons were observed in the subjects of Social studies, Life environment studies, Moral education and Special activities. Overview of the education system, special features of school calendar and curriculum of the primary school system were summarized. The good practices identified were Effective questioning techniques, group work and cooperative learning, teaching with elaborate blackboard planning.
In addition, speaker's experience in applying the above mentioned good practices in the context of teacher training at the university level in Sri Lanka will also be discussed.
