GiG Games Slot Machines
with Real Money Slots
GiG Games Slot Machines
GiG Games, or Gaming Innovation Group, owns and operates a number of innovative online casinos, such as Guts, Rizk and Kaboo, while they plan to expand and develop their own games and software solutions for their own sites as well as third party clients. Based in a state of the art office complex in Malta, the 650+ employees have a fantastic working environment, where they are able to enjoy top quality food, a gym and even slides to reflect the sense of fun that's key to how Gaming Innovation Group works. They even have Beer Fridays.
The history of GiG is an interesting one and shows how they have grown by acquiring other sites and launching their own casinos. Although the origins of the company go back to 2006, with Donkr.com, it was only in 2012 that Frode Fagerli and Robin Reed bought out all the shares and the Gaming Innovation Group name was adopted. Guts Casino was opened in 2013 and the business began its rapid expansion, buying up Spaseeba, launching Betspin and listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange. By purchasing companies such as Rebel Penguin, they have expanded into the digital marketing and development sectors, turning the business into a truly international and multi-faceted operation.
The launch of Gig Games in November 2017 is the latest direction for them, with the intention of developing their own bespoke casino games. They have been actively recruiting new game developers, QA testers, HTML5 experts and engineers to get this side of the business off to a flying start and we keenly await the launch of their first titles. Watch this space. They have also launched iGaming Cloud, which is tasked with interconnecting the industry and making it far easier to launch as site, connect games from multiple sources and reduce costs for operators.

Gig Casinos
The first online gambling site launched by the group was Guts, which is an unusual name, but it offers punters a full sports betting, Poker and casino gaming experience and has proved to be hugely popular. Licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority, as well as the UK Gambling Commission, its customers come from across Europe and beyond. It's promoted as the home of no-wagering free spins, where winnings from bonus spins on their slots games can be withdrawn right away, and they operate under the mantra 'Treat Players Right'. To this end, Guts pays out winnings when requested with no hassles and aims to process withdrawals with 2 hours.
Rizk Casino is perhaps their other main site, and it too comes with a couple of unique features to keep punters coming back again and again. Captain Rizk is the superhero host of the casino and he watches as players earn special rewards with each wager. Once a Power Bar is filled, they get to spin the Wheel of Rizk, which is promoted as a wheel of fortune, but about a million times cooler. A spin of this wheel unlocks rewards such as free spins and bonus payouts, but the more times the wheel is triggered, the better the treats become. As with their other casinos, the range at Rizk comes from multiple different software suppliers, including Microgaming, NetEnt and Play'n GO.
GiG continues to grow, with their latest offering being Highroller Casino, which once more, provides a unique gaming experience for their players. It's set in Metrocity, and customers progress through the various districts of this dark metropolis, earning special bonuses each time they move from one to the next. Coin awards are collected with each wager, or even just for logging in to the site, while unique Stings can see punters taking extra coins of each other, which is a highly unusual and exciting feature.
Other online gambling sites operated by Gaming Innovation Group include Thrills Casino, Kaboo Casino, Betspin and the Super Lenny sports betting site. Each has their own special points of difference, ensuring that the company lives up to their innovative name.
iGaming Cloud
An exciting development in the Gig Games journey is the launch of iGaming Cloud, which is a complete software solution and platform for online and mobile casino operators. Using iGaming Cloud, a new entrant to the business can have their own site up and running in as little time and expense as possible, with the platform providing everything they need, from games, bonus systems, payment solutions, fully integrated live chat support, real-time reporting data and a custom-made design package.
It's also available for existing gambling sites, who can cherry-pick from the modules, although the main aim of iGaming Cloud is to develop and support new sites in an all-in-one package. By providing everything needed under one roof, the system is flexible enough for clients to start off slowly and add features, games and services as their sites grow.
GiG believe that iGaming Cloud is a potential game-changer in the market, as the reductions in time and costs, along with the potential to interconnect the whole industry, is a new innovation which will make it a far leaner business.
Innovation Labs
Under the Gig Media banner, another operation is Innovation Labs, which a leading online marketing and lead generation company. Their aim is to help iGaming operators build their businesses by attracting traffic through a variety of channels, best SEO practices, digital media marketing and email marketing.
Innovation Labs works with a number of well-known operators, including LeoVegas and Mr Green casinos, along with the GiG Gaming brands to grow their customer bases. They have 10 years of experience in the business and are still expanding, with an ongoing search for the most talented IT and marketing professionals looking to work with one of the biggest names.
Betting Cloud
In 2016, GiG bought the OddsModel business, and is in the process of being integrated into a new Betting Cloud service. This will provide a sports betting service including live odds feeds, content, betting engine and risk management to operators. The whole package can be included in a site, or each service can be adopted in isolation, providing a flexible solution to new and established online sportsbooks.
The Future for Gaming Innovation Group
This company seems to have it all covered, from the initial start-up iGaming service, through to marketing for their own sites and third-party operators, and with their own unique online casinos which have proved to be extremely popular.
Further expansion is planned, and they are already looking at additional sites in Malta to house their ever-growing staff, who will doubtless enjoy the fantastic facilities and working environment offered by the company.
With their new Gig Games division just getting started, we can't wait to see what sort of slots, table games, or cards they release, but looking at their track record so far, we can be pretty sure that each title will feature something unique, fun and rewarding.

"The Call to Arms has sounded, and the realms of Order and Destruction have welcomed two new combatants to the frontlines of WAR – the head-bashin' Orc Choppa and oath-sworn Dwarf Slayer," said Mark Jacobs, VP and General Manager of Mythic Entertainment. "These new careers are brutal, unrelenting fighters who will stop at nothing to claim victory over their opponents on the Realm vs. Realm battlefields."
The ornery and savage Choppa is an offensive juggernaut that embodies the love of a good fight found in every Orc. He has a one-track mind that is dead set on wreaking havoc on enemy lines and bashin' heads! Driven by an inexplicably strong bloodlust, the Choppa is a whirlwind of destruction on the battlefield with a …debatable sense of self-preservation.
The tattooed Slayer is the manifestation of the Dwarfs' obsession with honor, seeking only a heroic and honorable death in combat. However, dying quietly is simply not in his nature. In WAR, the Slayer is a ruthless and terrifying fighter, throwing himself into battle with no regard for his own well-being. He is a force to be reckoned with and relies on his ever-escalating rage to power each swing of his dual axes.
Based on the popular tabletop war game from Games Workshop, Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning features revolutionary Realm vs. Realm conflict that will provide players with an engaging battleground for years to come. Available now for PC, WAR is rated "T" for Teen by the ESRB. To download the free 10-day trial, visit https://www.warhammeronline.com/trial.

Meg | From International Tax to Startup CEO
By Kayla Clements
My East Coast drive and education is mixed with time spent in both the Midwest and in Texas. I grew up in Massachusetts where I studied Economics and Philosophy and later on my MBA in accounting. I started my career in residential real estate in Austin, spent seven years as a Certified Public Accountant working in the field of international tax endowment and my last role was at Harvard's endowment working on the international tax strategy of their natural resources portfolio. I chose a fairly stable and straightforward career path. I was afraid of the unknown, of not knowing what the next step was supposed to be. Until one day, when I was bored with the known and felt held back by the stable. Taking a leap was my way of saving myself from mediocrity. I knew I not only COULD do more, but was MEANT to do more.
I left my career for two reasons – 1) I didn't feel challenged anymore and 2) I wasn't having a big enough impact in the world. I knew that I could do more, for more people, in a way that was more impactful. Although this change had been brewing for nearly two years, once I made the decision to leave and start my own company, it all happened in the course of just a few weeks. The trigger for me was when, due to overall organizational changes, my boss changed my role. The new role was not one that I was interested in, and I realized that this was my big moment, my "fork in the road". I wasn't "ready" to make the leap – I hadn't prepared financially or emotionally, but I woke up one morning and knew that I couldn't keep doing what I was doing any longer, and so I left.
I am thrilled to say that I am now the Co-Founder and CEO of One For Women, a Boston-based mission-driven company focused on connecting each other and empowering women-owned businesses. We offer gifts for the "small" moments in life – job promotions, breakups, etc.; 100% of our products come from women-owned businesses and a portion of our proceeds go back to non-profit organizations that support women's empowerment and advancement. Our philosophy is simple: one small gesture can have one big impact.
When I put in my notice, I had no idea what I was going to do next – I considered interviewing for other jobs in my field or even leaving tax and joining a startup in a more operational role. Those options felt too easy, though, and I realized that this was my chance to take a big risk, if I ever was going to. A few days after I put in my notice, I came up with the idea of a gift company that offered affordable gestures so that women could send gifts for the small moments in life, not just the big ones. Over the course of a few weeks, that idea grew into a way to empower and support women in business, and that's really when One For Women was born. By the time my last day at my job rolled around, I had a pretty good idea what I was going to do. My last day was on a Friday and I incorporated my company only two days later, that Sunday.
I was lucky enough that when I left my job, I had a bit of a cushion for a few months and my husband was able to support me. My company is pre-launch (read: pre-revenue), so we're not making any money right now and we are putting all our expenses on 0% credit cards to manage our cash flow. While we expect to be able to pay off the expenses we've incurred once we launch, realistically it will be two-three years at least before I can take a salary that matches the kind of money I was making before. Founding a startup is a big risk and even if you can minimize expenses (which is key!) it still takes a while to get the money flowing. Creating a startup is not about easy, quick money; it's about big dreams and making a long-term investment.
• Starting a startup is a lonely road. I make sure to leave the house and have at least one conversation (with anyone!) every day.
• Constant self-doubt – Am I good enough? What if I fail? This feeling never goes away, but believing in myself and keeping a catalogue of my achievements (no matter how small) is a good way for me to push through the doubt.
• In a new business, every day has ups and downs. For me, surviving the early days is all about realizing no day is going to be solely a "good day" or a "bad day" – every day will be a little of both, so I must own the moments.
There is value in having a plan. But sometimes, especially with the big things in life, you can't plan too much – at some point, you just have to believe in yourself and go for it.
Reading other people's stories can be inspiring but I think the best way to keep your strength and persevere is to imagine your own story – years from now. Believe in the dream that you are working towards, and use that as the fuel for your fire.
It's really scary to take a chance. If the dream is worth the risks, stop worrying – you'll figure it out. The biggest lesson I've learned in this process is that taking a leap of faith is the hardest thing you will ever do and you need to embrace all of it – the good days, the bad days, the tears, the sweat and pain, the stumbles. Know that it's all a part of the process and everyone who came before (and survived) went through this.
If I could say anything to someone about to go through this, I would say this: you will get through this. Tell your fear to shove it and fake it until you make it, but one day, the confidence will come and everything will fall into place.
"Nearly all the time, there will be a tomorrow. What's the worst that could happen if you take a chance today? Look fear in the eye, give it a wink, and just go for it."

February 16, 2016
Mileage: ~800
Starting point: Irvine, CA
States: CA
Budget for 6 people: $2100 ($1300 chalet rental, $250 gas, $400 food, $150 other)
- Day 0: drive from Irvine, CA to Yosemite, CA (350 mi, 7 h)
- Day 1: explore Yosemite Valley, Lower Yosemite Fall, Mirror Lake
- Day 2: do all day Panorama Trail hike
- Day 3: visit Mariposa grove with giant sequoia trees; drive home (350 mi, 7 h)
This post will mostly be about pictures rather than words. Yosemite is a place where you want to come back again and again, take photos during different seasons and periods of the day. This national park is unique and offers breathtaking views, variety of hikes, iconic vistas, cliffs, and waterfalls.
This was our first exploratory visit for 3 days. We were 6 people and we stayed in the park - in one of Redwoods chalet. We visited at the beginning of May to avoid crowds and California heat.
Day 0:
After work drive from Irvine, CA to Yosemite, CA.
Day 1:
Our first stop was at the most photographed vista point - Tunnel View. This is a scenic overlook of El Capitan, Half Dome, and Bridalveil Fall.
Our next stop was at Yosemite Lodge to get bus tickets to the Glacier Point for the next day. There we also got more information about the park and adjusted our plan for the first day. We decided to take easy hikes and explore those areas which we won't see during our day 2.
Lower Yosemite Fall: is an easy 1 mile loop hike
Mirror Lake: 2 miles easy round trip to lake and back
Yosemite Valley:
Day 2:
I believe the best way to explore Yosemite in a day is to hike Panorama Trail. It starts from Glacier Point and goes all the way to the Happy Isles Shuttle Stop from where a free shuttle bus takes you back to Yosemite Valley. This hike is 8.5 miles one way, I would say that it is of moderate difficulty. There are several areas where you need to climb up, but this is mostly a downhill trail. You'll get to see amazing views from the Glacier Point, Illilouette Falls, Half Dome, Vernal and Nevada Falls (Mist trail).
Note: It is recommended to get a bus to Glacier Point. You'll need to get a bus ticket in advance in Yosemite Lodge.
Glacier Point:
Merced River, Panorama Trail:
Nevada Fall: Nevada and Vernal Fall can also be seen from the Mist trail. But advantage of Panorama trail is that you'll be descending. Mist trail is very difficult.
Vernal Fall:
Day 3:
In the morning of our last day we hiked in the Mariposa grove among the giant sequoias. Unfortunately, this area is currently closed for a restoration (reopens June 15, 2018).

Battambang doesn't really lend itself easily, or much at all, to identification as a shopping mecca, or even the kind of place you might go slightly out of your way for to satisfy your material desires, unless you dream of tractors. But there are still interesting things to be found in among the phone shops and hair salons.
Travel better, travel smarter
Save money, receive our latest updates and get the most out of your travels.
For most practical matters — shoes, toiletries, clothes, cork scews — you could head to Psas Nath in the very centre of town. This striking art deco structure was built by the French in 1936 and is designed along similar lines to the central markets in Phnom Penh and Saigon. The one thing you won't get here though is the time, notwithstanding the elegant clock tower.
If you're one of those shoppers that requires air-con, walls and peculiar things like that, you could make your way down to the BTB Mall toward the south end of Street 3. It's just a fancifed street market, with all the usual guff, at twice the price. Apparently a stunning colonial villa was flattened to make way for this ungodly piece of architectural drear. There's also a small night market on the riverside in front of Psas Nath, which is quite sweet albeit more for the people watching than purchasing opportunities.
Just to the south of here, you'll find perhaps the most unanticipated shop in Battambang, Bric-a-Brac. Created by two roving Australians, one a cookbook author, the other a textile expert and tassel-maker — and no, it had never crossed our minds that someone had to design and make those either — Bric-a-Brac is a little treasure trove of taste. It's hard to make a definitive list of what you'll find in here, but it could be anything from antique china tea sets, artful notebooks, stamp makers, cookbooks, and, of course, tassels and other related things. We know people who could lose themselves in here for hours, and if you happen to be stuck with someone like that, you needn't fear boredom. The owners are usually about, and hugely entertaining company.
Around the corner from there, you'll find the Jewel In The Lotus, an extraordinary pirate's chest of stunning comics, jewellery, clothing, posters and postcards and Lord knows what else, all with a distinctly alternative edge to it. The shop is owned and run by Kchao Touch and her husband. Touch is one of Cambodia's foremost artists, and her lovely, feminine, dreamy work can also be found in the Lotus Bar & Gallery on the other side of the road.
For something totally special, you can't beat an original work of art from one of Battambang's students or graduates of the art school at Phare Ponleu Selpak. You can visit the school itself during the day, including their dedicated gallery inside a traditional Khmer wooden villa. You can watch the students at work, and pick your way through a portfolio of their creations, all of which is for sale. Who knows, you may be picking up a piece by a future star of Asia. Drop in on weekdays between 08:00 and 12:00 and 14:00 and 16:00.
Bookworms have not been abandoned in Battambang and there is a small but popular second-hand store on Street 3, just where it joins with Preah Vihear Street. There are several hundred titles in here — mostly the kind of stuff you find in airport bookshops, as well as books on Cambodian history — but there are titles in French and German as well as English.
Psas Nath: St 113, Battambang.
BTB Mall: St 3, Battambang.
Bric-a-Brac: #112 Street 2, Battambang; T: (0)77 531 562.
Jewel In The Lotus: #67 Street 2.5, Battambang; T: (092) 260 158.
Phare Ponleu Selpak: Anh Chanh village, Ochar commune, Battambang: T: (077) 554 413.
Smiling Sky Bookshop: Street 3, Battambang; T: (012) 29 80 05.

1000 mlles, 72 hours, 43 points, several beers, and one forgotten camera battery went into the making of this post.
Last weekend, Alicia and I drove up to Syracuse for homecoming and decided to split up the 8 hour drive by stopping off at my parent's house. While we were there, I managed to leave my camera battery plugged into the wall, a fact I realized about an hour later. I probably should have an extra one of those by now but $40 + for a battery I don't think Nikon even makes anymore just doesn't seem worth it to me.
So all the photos in the post were shot with my iPhone. They're slightly grainy at times but they tell the story differently than if I'd had my DSLR with me, and I like that. I hope you enjoy it too. Here are the photos.

The right solutions to move your business to the cloud
Now is the perfect time to start moving critical aspects of your business to the cloud. Cloud computing has never been more secure, more affordable, and more reliable. The cost savings are enormous! By incorporating cloud applications and storage into their business, IT professionals expect to save 31% over the next 5 years!
Q: I don't know which part of my business, or if all of it, should be moved to the cloud?
A: There are portions of your business that are already in the cloud! The most popular cloud based solutions are: email, collaboration software, financials and accounting. Now is the time to review your ENTIRE infrastructure and determine which elements should be moved to the cloud next.
Q: Have you considered Software as a Service (SaaS)?
A: Upgrading your business software to SaaS will allow you to access your data on a secure network from anywhere you have an internet connection. Not only will this allow you to access the data, but also the rest of your staff, and customers should you want them to see account history, allow them to re-order through a self-service portal, and so much more!
Q: Is Platform as a Service (PaaS) more up your alley?
A: Accessing an Operating System, Computing Power and Data Storage is all available through one portal. This means your Operating System is kept up to date by the vendor that is providing the service!
Q: Are you prepared to move your entire business to the cloud through Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)?

Some Orkney Wildlife
There's a lot of wildlife on Orkney and I have a lot of dreadful photographs, so I apologise in advance, but they'll give you the general idea. I hope.
It's a seal, not a rock
Definitely not rocks!
This is an arctic tern
A juvenile common gull (I've been told. Not so exciting...)Another juvenile common gull, sadlyA meadow lark with a nice juicy green caterpillar in it's beak
Fulmar and chick. There were lots and lots of theseThis beautiful little puffin knew he was being watched
Northern marsh, early marsh, maybe a cross? They were all a bit past it, so it was hard to tell for someone without expertise.
And my favourite sightings, but worst photographs…
Yes, it is. It's a female hen harrier and we saw lots of males and females all over the island, including from our lounge and kitchen windows.
I didn't manage to photograph the otter at all, but it's long since been my ambition to see one and I was delighted!

Fantastic pics. Some will not enlarge? any ideas?
The magpie moth is a great picture and i'm sure the caterpillar is an Emporer moth.
So lucky with the weather. Who needs the Med? we do!

Thanks Alan. You're quite right, I could do a bit of editing, I just haven't got around to it yet! Mind you, not sure it'll help with some of them...
Emperor moth eh? I shall have a look. That would be funny, being as we saw a butterfly in the Borders in April and that was the first one I'd come across.
The weather was amazing, it was drizzly some days first or last thing, when it didn't matter, but only for a short time one morning when we first left the house, then it cleared. It was blue skies for two weeks!

The Bottom Line Behind Lead Generation Site Reviews
All lead generation websites should value any and all reviews, good or bad, users post about their website. Good reviews bring on more users and a company's response to poor reviews can also bring on new users.
Nevertheless, no matter how reliable you may think reviews for lead generation websites may be, there are always at least two sides to every story. As such, before you determine which lead generation site is best for contractors, make sure you know the bottom line behind all lead generation site reviews. CONTINUE READING
6 Steps To Take When You Don't Receive Payment
While there is no way to guarantee payment on the projects you work on, it's essential to pay attention to details that can help make this process easier and/or faster. Keeping accurate records and documentation in regards to what is expected of your company is vital. Get your clients to sign off on every step, especially that of changed orders. Make it clear that additional work not specified on the signed contract might cost more money.
Unfortunately, getting a customer to pay you is no easy feat. However, completing these six steps when you don't receive payment can help in reducing the stress factor of it all.
The Exciting World Of Proposals & Contracts
As a painting contractor, writing proposals and performing contract administration are just two of the many job functions you will find yourself involved in. How well you manage these tasks will be critical to your company's success. This includes creating a professional proposal, drawing up and submitting the contract and negotiating with the owner or general contractor. CONTINUE READING
Video: Open Communication Is Key
It's always the smallest things that make the biggest difference and perhaps the smallest, yet most vital aspect of any home improvement project is open communication between you and the homeowner.
Having an open dialogue before, during and after the project is key in receiving high-quality reviews. Staying on the same page will ensure clear expectations, better understanding and ultimately, a happy customer.
Contractor Spotlight: Tanks Roofing & Contracting
Unlike many of us, Danny Harding pretty much knew what he was going to be when he grew up at the age of 13. He started working on roofs and other home improvement jobs in Philadelphia with his father as a teenager and has stuck with it ever since.
Thanks to years of experience, Danny took the big step and started his own business, Tanks Roofing & Contracting, back in 2012. I recently chatted with Danny to hear how he got started, what he thinks of CraftJack and some of his most memorable projects he got from some of our roofing leads. CONTINUE READING

A failure to acknowledge work as work
I hope one day design will be treated like any other professional service. We need to first get a consensus among agencies and designers not to work for free even in pitch situations before anything will change. The work we do needs to be respected and working for free is not the way to get that respect. Just try to take your car to an auto mechanic and tell him to repair your car this time for free because the next time you promise to pay a fair price. As soon as you put this situation into another non creative field most people can see the ridiculousness of it. Any design firm doing spec work should be punished or put onto a black list. Time for design associations and governments to put more effort into this matter. What the industry needs is a moral code that stands above business. All this spec work kills good work, scares away real talent and further damages the future of design. None of this is the clients faults, but it is purely our industry's problem of getting a short term advantage. And the web has been becoming the largest catalyst in pushing free work ahead and above paid work. In contrast, there is nothing wrong about checking a mediocre applicant's real skill with a test task. Nowadays, so many young designers learn to visually polish their turds in a quality that it looks and sounds almost like a 10 manpower team effort. Mostly, a lot of their showcases are just surface styling work and that is what a test project is for. Discovering designers who have talent to truly design something, and not just do some styling.

Kickstarter Spotlight | The Gamefolio System 2.0
Among my multiple groups of friends I am seen as "The Game Guy" - I am pretty sure if you are reading this you have a game guy... if you don't then you may be the game guy. *note: I am using guy as a generic term not a denotation of gender* So I move a lot of games around to events and damage happens. When that damage happens to an expensive game/investment you may get a little angry, I did. After this I found it hard to travel with games, as I was always worrying about what would happen to them. Imagine my surprise when I found the gamefolio case on Kickstarter! Also, imagine my dismay at not finding them sooner.
So I backed at the level to get the Classic Gamefolio 2.0 Case. You can see all that I will get above, but I am really excited to get my hands on this piece of equipment. I am excited because the price point seems more than reasonable, the quality of the materials are noticeable, and you have customization of color... so you can really make it yours. You can find the page HERE. This will perfectly fit the games I recently backed, don't forget to check out my other backed projects HERE and if you are on the hunt for new gaming accessories then check out the other posts HERE. What about you readers, have you ever broken a game while transporting it? How do you protect your boxes? Let me know in the comments, I can't wait to hear more strategies.
Stay Foolish!

DIY Mommy & Me Graffiti Jackets/
There is nothing cuter than a little mommy and me moment! And I really love the graffiti jackets that are so instyle right now. I knew Brinkley and I could pull off making this trend ourselves but adding our own personal touch was the best part! I know we will be rocking these jackets all season long!
You may know that Brinkley and I love a good DIY. But this time, it really hit home because of the love we poured into making them.
I began by laying out the jackets and other materials to start the craft. But what I didn't know was what exactly we'd be painting on the jackets. We both sat down with a marker and looked at each other. She said she wanted to write "I love Mom" and I was so thrilled! She began pencilling out her design on the back of her jacket. I asked what I should write on mine and she said without hesitation, "I love Family"... And I thought, wow! That's so perfect. I knew I needed to include all my children and so the creative process began. I drew the three hearts to symbolize each child. Brinkley added her own personal flair with her flowers and other drawings. How cute did they turn out?!
*TIP- Add splatter to your design by watering down the paint and flicking it onto your design using the end of your paint brush. It will really help define your graffiti look!
Here is what you'll need to do this craft:
- Fabric Paint
- Denim Jackets
- Paint Brushes
- Water to rinse brushes
This craft was so fun and special. It became much more of a meaningful craft than I anticipated. I know I will cherish this jacket forever.

Right thinking people should use their might to wipe separatists out: Amartya
Kolkata, July 11: In the wake of rising separatist movement in Basirhat, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen on Monday said that while it was difficult to eliminate separatist forces, all right thinking people should use their might to wipe them out.
The Nobel laureate was talking to the media on the sidelines of the screening of a documentary film on his works by director-economist Suman Ghosh.
"You cannot altogether eliminate separatist forces. There had been efforts to create disturbances even in the 50s but then people came together to fight these forces with their might," he said.
When asked about the rise of the separatist movement in Darjeeling and the communal flare-up in Basirhat in North 24 Parganas district, Sen said,
"We need similar initiatives by you, me, politicians, intellectuals to wipe out separatist elements."
"Why suddenly unthinkable things are taking place in Bengal?" he asked.
"People would be killing each other without knowing each other just because they belong to different communities. This is not just done. Similar things happened in the 1950s and in late 40s," Sen said.
He said that going by the reports he has heard about the current communal flare-up in Bengal, he thought "it is not the worst kind of situation but it is bad."
"I am of the opinion that there can be some possibility of instigation from this or that side in a communal clash," he said.
Violence erupted between two communities at Baduria on July 3 night over a Facebook post by a youth.

BARCELONA • Four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel believes he can end Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton's domination of the sport to land the Italian giants their first drivers' championship in nine years.
Vettel topped the time sheets yesterday morning as well as the first day of pre-season testing in Barcelona on Monday, with just under a month to go till the first race of the season in Australia on March 20.
He won the only three races not won by defending world champion Hamilton or his team-mate Nico Rosberg last season.
Indeed, Mercedes' dominance in winning 32 of 38 Grands Prix in the last two seasons has led to calls for rule changes to increase competition, while F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone claimed on Monday the sport is "the worst it has ever been".
However, Vettel is hopeful of pushing Hamilton and Rosberg all the way this season.
"Not just for the fans but for myself and the whole team we'd love to fight for the title until the very end and have a decent chance," the German said on Monday.
"Obviously last year we had a surprising year which was very good for us, especially for the atmosphere and motivation of the team, and hopefully we can carry that into this year. Naturally, if you finish second in the constructors' championship you want to make that final step. It would be great for us and everyone else bar Mercedes."
On new ultra-soft tyres yesterday, he had a flying lap of 1min 22:810sec.
However, once again Mercedes were arguably the most impressive performers as Rosberg completed 81 laps and went within 0.2 seconds of his qualifying lap to land pole position at the same circuit for last season's Spanish Grand Prix on slower medium tyres.
The Silver Arrows have prioritised miles over times early, but Rosberg also went nearly half a second quicker than Hamilton on his marathon 156-lap run on Monday. Vettel only managed 69 laps.
With six more days of testing to come before the season gets started, Mercedes' reliability has sent shockwaves round the paddock.
Vettel admitted he was slightly frustrated not to get more time on the track, but is confident the SF16-H is a significant improvement on last year's car.
"Generally it seems like a step up. I felt confident in the car straight away," he said. "There is a lot of work still to do, the result today is nice but it doesn't mean much. It is better to be first in about a month's time."

China and The Outreach Foundation: A Strong Global Partnership
Installment 1 of the History of The Outreach Foundation in China from 1993-2018
by Jefferson Ritchie, Mission Advocate
In 2019 The Outreach Foundation turns forty years old. Over the next few years I will be telling part of our history in those areas of the world where I was involved as staff liaison from 1998-2018. I will be drawing on insights of other staff and trustees, friends from both U.S. churches and the global church to tell the story of our missions in China, Egypt, Brazil, and parts of Africa. My hope is that others will add to this history by sharing what God has done through The Outreach Foundation in other countries.
We begin with China, the country to which I traveled the most. Why China? Historically, China was the first foreign mission field of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) after it established its Board of Foreign Missions in 1837. It was also the largest field for Presbyterians. "For over one hundred years 'China Missions' was the single largest item in the benevolent budget of the General Assembly," wrote G. Thompson Brown in Earthen Vessels & Transcendent Power: American Presbyterians in China, 1837-1952 (p. 6). At least 1,700 American Presbyterian missionaries served in China between 1841 and 1952 (Brown, p. 5).
The Outreach Foundation's founders, all of whom were Presbyterian pastors or elders, were aware of this heritage. Their purpose in beginning a new mission organization within the Presbyterian family was to renew the spirit that has animated American Presbyterians from the beginning. As stated by John Holt Rice, one of the early advocates of the need for a denominational Board of Foreign Missions:
"The Presbyterian Church is a missionary society, the object of which is to aid in the conversion of the world, and every member of the Church is a member for life of said society, and bound, in maintenance of his Christian character, to do all in his power for the accomplishment of the object." (Brown, p. 12)
When The Outreach Foundation began, one place we could not work was China. Although it had been the largest mission field of the Presbyterian Church, the founding of the Peoples Republic of China in 1949 ended the missionary era. Missionaries were expelled, churches were forcibly united, and finally, during the Cultural Revolution of 1966-76, all churches, mosques, and temples were closed. In 1979 when The Outreach Foundation was founded, the churches in China were just beginning to reopen as China opened itself to the world. It would take a few years for the newly formed China Christian Council to develop global connections.
But Chinese people were also in Taiwan, or the Republic of China, and that is where The Outreach Foundation started its work among Chinese. It began with a missionary couple, the Revs. Brad and Laura Long, who were appointed as missionaries to Taiwan in 1980. After language school, they were assigned to the Hsinchu Bible College. The Bible College wanted to develop a Lay Training Center to equip lay people for evangelism.
Evangelism was the passion of The Outreach Foundation, and the Longs shared the vision of their Bible School with the Rev. Dr. Howard Chadwick, the first full-time Director of The Outreach Foundation. Dr. Chadwick visited the Longs in Taiwan in 1982, and he experienced a prayer movement that was sweeping over the country, including the Bible College in Hsinchu.
A church crisis had precipitated this prayer movement. In the fall of 1980, just about the time that the Longs arrived in Taiwan, the General Secretary of the Presbyterian Church of Taiwan, the Rev. Gao Jun Ming, had been arrested by the government of the Republic of China for his involvement in human rights. The Presbyterian Church of Taiwan came together in prayer for his release.
Alongside of this urgent need of prayer, Taiwanese Presbyterians had been hearing about the deep prayer life of Korean Presbyterian Christians in local churches and in prayer retreat centers called "prayer mountains." The Taiwanese began their own prayer mountains throughout the island, and one of those was at the Bible College in Hsinchu. As Taiwanese Presbyterians sought the Lord for the release of their leader, they became open to a new touch of the Holy Spirit who filled them with power to witness. Spiritual renewal thus deepened passion for human rights and evangelism in the Church in Taiwan.
When Dr. Chadwick saw the Spirit moving in Taiwan, he was inspired to commit The Outreach Foundation to support this work. The Bible School needed a building for the new Lay Training Center, and Dr. Chadwick shared this need with the First Presbyterian Church of Dallas, Texas. This church already had a "Taiwan Connection" through their long-time relationship with Ms. Marguerite Mizell, an evangelistic missionary in Taiwan from 1921-1948. God's providence was further illustrated in that the pastor of First Presbyterian Church at that time, the Rev. Dr. William Carl, had previously been the homiletics professor of Brad and Laura Long at Union Seminary.
The church voted to tithe 10% of its $2.5 million building campaign to the development of the Lay Training Center in Hsinchu. The Principal of the Bible School then went throughout the Presbyterian Church in Taiwan and said, "Look what these Americans have done. Let us complete the task!" The Presbyterian Church of Taiwan went on to raise another $1 million to complete the Lay Training Center.
From this base, the Rev. Dr. Brad Long and the Rev. Dr. Laura Long worked for the next six years alongside Taiwanese co-workers to develop and extend the prayer movement in that country. In a recent email Brad Long shared the impact of The Outreach Foundation in Taiwan, "The Outreach Foundation played a critical role in all this great work not just in terms of major financial support but [also in terms of] friendship and encouragement."
"Friendship and encouragement" have been key roles that The Outreach Foundation has played from the beginning until now. We often say, "We make friends in the churches in the United States; we make friends with the churches around the world; then we introduce our friends to each other." That desire to connect people in mission for the spread of the Good News of Jesus Christ has been the legacy of American Presbyterian missions for over 180 years, and it is the spirit that has animated The Outreach Foundation since 1979.
In my next blog I will share the steps that led The Outreach Foundation to the reopened Church in China.

Court sides with county in right to work appeal
November 18, 2016 By Emma Kennedy
The News-Enterprise
The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned another judge's ruling in Hardin Fiscal Court case relating to right-to-work laws.
The opinion released today overturns the lower court decision in this first test case regarding whether county government, as a subset of state government, individually could enact right-to-work rules.
"Today's decision preserves the long-standing legal principal that a state has absolute discretion in how it chooses to exercise its governmental powers and can delegate to a political subdivision, that same authority," stated a newsrelease sent jointly by Judge-Executive Harry Berry and County Attorney Jenny Oldham.

Course Code: TT908
Your brain, thoughts, and behavior are at the core of everything that you do every day, even if you aren't aware of it. In order to truly achieve the results that you want to achieve, you must master the art of bringing your unconscious thoughts to the surface, so that you can have real choice over how you interact with and respond to the world. Neuro linguistic programming can give you the tools to do just that.
Course Overview
In this one-day introductory workshop, you will learn the basics of neuro linguistic programming. We will give you the tools to manage your thoughts, and thereby manage yourself.
Course Outline
What is Neuro Linguistic Programming?
To begin, you will help participants define neuro linguistic programming and determine how it can help them in their day-to-day lives. Participants will learn about the history of NLP (including an explanation of why its credibility was damaged in the 1990's) and review some key NLP terms.
The NLP Presuppositions
Next, participants will explore 11 of NLP's guiding principles through a small group activity.
The Senses According to NLP
This session will explore our sensory systems as represented by the VAKOG acronym. Participants will also learn about sensory predicates – words that indicate what sensory system a person is using. The session will conclude with a discussion and an exercise on eye accessing cues.
Using Enriched Language
Powerful speakers all have one thing in common: they use language that appeals to all of our senses. This session will teach participants how to do just that.
Interpreting Body Language
Traditionally, body language has been used to help the listener interpret messages being sent. However, NLP uses body language to help sensitize us to the speaker's state. This session will give participants some key behaviors of common states. Participants will also have a chance to practice these skills in a role play.
Asking Clean Questions
NLP also provides a different approach to asking questions. NLP uses question forms that are more typically seen in therapy, called clean questioning. Participants will learn some different clean question frameworks in this session and have a chance to practice them.
The Power of Hypnotic Language
Next, participants will learn how to embed commands in a message and how to influence a positive outcome.
Putting it All Together
This session will give participants a chance to bring everything that they have learned together and role play a situation that recently happened in their lives.
Workshop Wrap-Up
Why Choose E-Learning?
With busy home lives and work schedules it can be difficult to take the time to attend a Live seminar or workshop. E-Learning is an ideal solution!
Our web-based training offers the same quality content as our in-class courses, while allowing you to complete the lessons at your own pace and convenience, all from the comfort of your own home, office or even while you are on the road!

Analyzing the Determinants of Female Genital Mutilation in Somalia
I remember when I first read about female genital mutilation in a textbook in my Human Sexuality course in college, and I was surprised that the book mentioned that rates of FGM are particularly high in Somalia. I decided to look further into the effect that FGM has on female public health in Somalia, where 98% of women have reportedly undergone the practice.
A Medical Perspective on the Syrian Refugee Crisis
My first exposure to the "refugee crisis" was in the summer of 2013, just before my senior year of high school. I was in Istanbul visiting family and the Turkish nightly news was consumed with reports of increasing numbers fleeing the seemingly endless violence in Syria
Opiates for All, Opiates for None
Imagine having a tumor so large on your leg that you can no longer walk without excruciating pain. It has caused you to lose your job as a farmer, the only source of livelihood where you live. You have exhausted your meager savings to afford costly chemotherapy and without it, your doctor, whose clinic is 250 miles away, grimly informs you that you will die.
"Mame Rie Emion"—Mother of Mine, At Risk
Maternal mortality is not an unfathomable concept. It is not only the result of a woman who happens to undergo an unfortunate accident while in the late stages of her pregnancy. It is not only the result of physician neglect. We cannot continue to maintain a Western-centric perspective and classify maternal mortality as solely as only a rare incident

This post is meant to be as a guide to help designers design for mobile friendly sites. This is a general overview of some tips for resolution sizes, fonts, and navigation design and structure current in web design today. For example:
- With responsive design, it is important to keep in mind that the content will shift and resized based on the size of the screen the viewer is using.
- It makes sense to use simpler fonts and realize that they will not render the same on all operating systems and browsers.
- Navigation is changing too, it is important to keep it simple but make sure that the user understands where they are in the site. The biggest change in navigation is on the mobile view. Users are actually using there fingers to touch navigate on smart phones. The buttons need to be larger and collapsible to make it easier to navigate with your finger.
These are just a few questions and issues we see designers facing when designing for the modern Web. Planning a design for a new website? Consider these points:
Is your site going to be responsive?
Responsive websites conform (shrink and expand) to fit different viewports (screen sizes) such as phones, tablets, laptops and desktops. If your site is NOT responsive you design for only one target width usually 992px. If your site is going to be responsive then you will want your designs to fit usually at 3-5 viewports: 448px phone, 768px tablet in portrait, 1024px tablet in landscape, 992px standard width laptop, 1200px + for wide width desktops.
Full width elements
If you are going to have a responsive site are you going to have elements extend the full width of the website. On this site many elements are full width meaning that they will extend the full width of the screen. Some techniques to achieve this effect is to have the element fade or be a solid color or repeating background that can extend the full width of the screen. You can also set images or background images to fill the space. But please keep in mind that they will do so in proportion so if an image is square or standard 4:3 then it will take up the same amount of space or will crop a section of the image.
Designers should take in consideration the areas of the screen beyond the borders of the page. On wide screens, the background of the page will often extend on either side, well beyond the page border. What should the background of the page be? Can some design elements, such as headers and footers, be extended to the full width or the page? Are there design elements which end at the edge of the page that might need to be extended?
You should not use underlines in web design unless it ifs for a link. This is because underlines signify links on the web.
You should design the navigation elements. What will your hover color be? How will your drop downs look and behave? There should be some sort or correlation from the sections, drop downs and parts of the site? In the example above from our site the selected (part of site you are on) is in blue, The resources are in orange and the drop down is also in orange. This lets the users know that they are in the Resources section. You also want to plan how the navigation is going to look on the mobile view. It usually is similar in color and style but horizontal with bigger buttons to make it easier for people to navigate with their fingers.
San-Serif fonts are the web standard because they are easier to read on a computer screen. These are fonts like Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Futura. Many non-standard fonts are not going to be useful. We as web designers are going away from text in image files unless it is used in banners or graphics, even then they usually can be replaced by using the image as a background and over laying the text using CSS. This allows flexibility because you can dynamically style the text. Then if you need to change a page title, banner or heading or use it on another part of the site you will not have to recreate the graphic. This also helps with SEO because the text is searchable by search engines.
Designers should keep in mind that line width, kerning, justification, font-sizes and other text formatting is variable between different browsers and operating systems. While CSS offers some control over text formatting, it won't render with the same precision that can be expected with print. Print designers should also keep in mind that text on websites has a tendency to change, indeed it should change, or a regular basis.
If you add a font that is non-standard that is not a graphic. Say if you have a mac specific font and add it to your site. A PC user may not be able to see that font or it will substitute a font which may not have the same style or dimensions of your original font.
If you must use a fancy font please consider using a web font Google Web Fonts https://www.google.com/fonts/. The Google fonts are served dynamically and are available on all computers and browsers. You can download them and use them in Photoshop and Illustrator.
Fonts, navigation and page width stick out as issues for designers to consider when designing for mobile friendly websites. As with all communication mediums, the Web has it's own set of technical considerations and opportunities to consider. However, by keeping in mind Web standards and how Web design is changing to accommodate mobile browsers, designers can help create dynamic, interactive sites that reach the widest range of visitors and prove to be of greater value to their clients.

Roberts Gifted and Talented Students exploring the world !
Roberts Elementary has a very diverse group of students. Countries from all over the world are represented in the Roberts population! The Gifted and Talented Department wanted to explore this diversity and ask students to research a country that they are interested in or that is the country of origin for that student.
Students researched to learn all about the country's language, government, culture, size, terrain, climate, and much more. They put this information into a slideshow to share with others and are making informational boxes, brochures, flags, and maps about their country.
Students are also comparing the country they are researching to the United States and pretending to be a tourist in the country recording in a travel journal.
Students will be making a product to represent their county and will be displaying some of their artifacts at Roberts World Fest. They are very excited to share what they've learned with visitors! Don't miss their presentations at the school gymnasium, starting at 11 a.m. at the beginning of the festival.

As entertaining as NBA games are and as much as I enjoy watching guys getting their ankles broken or getting dunked on, in the past five years I've been more interested in understanding the game of basketball from a coach's standpoint. I'm a member of Street Corner Basketball ( SCB), a place where guys don't just share exciting basketball highlights but actually talk about the strategic aspect of the game of basketball. One of the founders of the group, Ned Okarter who is probably one of the best unpopular basketball analyst in the country, often graces us with some of the choicest games breakdown I've ever come across- his understanding of the X's and O's is second to none. This morning he gave us a breakdown of last night's game between the Cavaliers and the Sixers and I had to share it with you guys. Enjoy and be sure to follow Ned Okarter via FB.
just a couple of thoughts (especially on last nights game)
– brett brown is a GREAT X&Os coach. great ATO (after timeout) plays and he runs ALOT of creative misdirection sets to get his shooters open.
– in college, Ben SImmons was a horrible defender – mainly because he didn't try. NOW hes a solid defender and he was actually able to irritate LeBron. I forget how BIG he is; hes actually bigger than LeBron and would NOT allow him to drive.
– until the cavs fix their transition defense (BY HUSTLING), then I cant take them seriously to beat golden state (or Houston). they will run circles around them. also in the half court, they just get lost too much on switches but most importantly off ball switches. I think Coach Lue must change to the non-switching defense they played against the warriors in game 7 of 2016 (when they won). these players are not instinctive to make the correct switches on defense.
– the opposite is the sixers – you can tell theyre VERY well coached on defense AND they have the correct instincts. Saric and Ilysova are unathletic bigs with poor lateral quickness. However theyre ALWAYS in the right spot on rotations – that's why Ilysova is the BEST in the NBA at drawing fouls.
– T. Thompson = nance. both are redundant undersized bigs who create "gravity" with their alleyoop threat (very important to get their 3pt shooters open). however Lebron is the only one who can create these opportunities (Clarkson has always been a shoot first SG in the body of a PG; Hill is a spot up shooter who never really had dynamic PG skills). they miss Delly and Kyrie who could initiate alleyoops and unlock that gravity threat. All of this to say, when Lebron is off the court, they have no creators – as a result, Thompson/Nance become useless.
– Embiid is great! hes reminding me more and more of P.Ewing. nice touch, improving passer and great defense (you know a big at blocking shots when teams are AFRAID of attempting layups – even LeBron. He simply ELIMINATES options on offense). however unlike Ewing, embiid CANT dribble – I mean hes simply a turnover waiting to happen.
– Rodney hood started at SG last night. ive always liked his game (as a fellow lefty myself). However JR smith SHOULD be the better player – more dynamic and a potential game changer. But he was suspended last night?!!? Dude youre 32/33 after playing a decade in the NBA. what happened!??!!? I hope his demons haven't returned – I wish him the best because he seems like a good guy

Snapchat stock loses $800M after Rihanna responds to offensive ad
is the latest celebrity to send Snap's stock sliding.
Your browser does not support the video tag.
The singer tore into the app on Thursday for allowing an offensive ad to appear on its platform. Her remark sent Snap (SNAP)'s stock down nearly 4%, erasing nearly $800 million from its market value. Snap's stock closed down 1% on Friday.
The ad in question was for the mobile game "Would You Rather?," and it presented users with two options: "Slap Rihanna" or "Punch Chris Brown." Brown pleaded guilty in 2009 to beating Rihanna during an argument while they were dating.
Rihanna issued a statement on her Instagram account calling out Snap for the ad.
I know you already know you ain't my fav app out there! But I'm just trying to figure out what the point was with this mess!" the singer wrote. "I'd love to call it ignorance but I know you ain't that dumb. You spent money to animate something that would intentionally bring shame to DV victims and made a joke of it."
She added: "Shame on you."
Snap issued a statement to CNN calling the ad "disgusting."
"We are investigating how that happened so that we can make sure it never happens again," the company said.
The incident highlights the dangers of self-service ad platforms, which lets companies buy and submit ads without human negotiation. Many social networks use this method. In its ad policy, Snap says ads submitted to the platform are "subject to our review and policy" and doesn't allow content that depicts "excessive violence."
Daniel Ives, chief strategy officer and head of technology research at GBH Insights, told CNN that it's a big challenge for Snap.
"Social media platforms continue to have troubles with catching all offensive ads and content as we have seen from the likes of Facebook and Twitter," Ives told CNN. "Snap dropped the ball on this ad."
Ives added: "This is a make or break [year] for Snap and although we believe it's heading in the right strategic direction, the Rihanna backlash and ad is another gut punch for this company to make sure they minimize the speed bumps ahead."
Rihanna's negative public statement comes just a few weeks after Kylie Jenner complained about Snap's redesign.
"Sooo does anyone else not open Snapchat anymore? Or is it just me... ugh this is so sad," Jenner tweeted, sending Snap's down 6% and wiping $1.3 billion off the company's market value. The new format triggered a Change.org petition, signed 1.2 million times, to get the original design back.
Snap responded by rolling out tabs for the Friends and Discover sections to quell user concern that its new look is too confusing.
The company also recently announced it is laying off about 120 engineers.
