«Trading the trend» binary options trading strategy
Strategy characteristics
Any professional trader can confirm that trading against the trend is "the road to nowhere". At the same time, there is a "the trend is our friend" proverb confirming the fact that the trend is necessary to become friends with. That is, it is necessary to trade exclusively in the direction of the trend.
There are two ways to determine the trend:
- with the help of trend indicators;
- with the help of visual analysis using the trend line.
Once you have the terminal installed to your personal computer, your binary options trading via the usual browser-based terminal becomes a few quality steps better. Since, from now on you will be able to execute trades not based on intuition, but rather with the help of wonderful tools for technical analysis, which can be accessed at any time of the market asset uncertainty.
So, we have the MT4 terminal in front of us with the currency pair GBPUSD taken as an example.
Then we select the "trend line" tool and draw it connecting the price chart support lines.
We determine the trend direction with the help of this line.
«Trading the trend» binary options trading strategy. Rules for executing trend trades
We have drawn a trend line, according to which, we have determined that the trend is up, and it means that we only buy binary options at this stage. However, when do we execute a trade? It is of course logical to enter when the prices bounce up from the trend line. However, it all looks nice on historical charts, though in reality it is difficult to determine exactly when this rebound has occurred. We need to use additional tools to confirm the rebound; the classic Stochastic oscillator will be the one.
As you can see oscillator is in constant move and confirms the moments of price bouncing from the trend line.
When should we enter the trades?
We enter the market with binary option when the price of an asset touches the trend line we have drawn and the stochastic indicator being in the oversold zone turns around and starts to move beyond the given zone. This is the best moment to buy.
As you can see on the screenshot, in all cases, a real bounce from the level is confirmed by Stochastic indicator. That is, the price was on the trend line, the indicator turned around and moved up and at this time we execute a binary options trade and after a while we make profit.
We can apply the classic binary options for which it is not important to achieve strike levels and the profit is from 70% to 85% for binary options trend trading.
You can use the One-Touch options with established strike levels. At the same time, as seen on screenshots, the price of the asset always covers the required strike distance after bouncing from the trend line. Usually, the payout for the specified type is up to 150% -600%, depending on the time of expiration and strike level height.
Also the stated strategy can be used for «Range» options trading with the Out-range condition, which means the price's movement beyond the price channel range. Payout for the specified type of options is up to 150% -600%, depending on the time of expiration and the height of the strike levels set for breakthroughs.
Which financial asset to choose
For trend trading we can choose any financial asset that has a clear trend at the beginning of trading.
For example, a down trend has been immediately identified on the random charts for GBPJPY and GBPCHF currency pairs at which we can sell binary options with confidence at the upper trend line retracement.
However do not forget to use stochastic oscillator for confirmation. It will save you from selling early.
You should select classic binary options, RANGE options and ONE-TOUCH options with 6 hours and 12 hours expiration times for the stated type of trading. That is the approximate time an asset needs to reach the strike levels resulting in profit.
Trade size when trend trading should not exceed 5% of the size of your deposit to exclude the unplanned drawdown. Thus, if you have a minimal deposit of 200-250 USD, then the size of the trades must be no more than 10-15 USD. An additional factor that will play into our hands is an increased amount of payout for «Range» and «One-Touch» binary options, which can generate USD 50 of net income for each 10 USD invested that is more than an excellent result.
On this, let us finish the review and wish you profits!

Serenata Notturna – Three Divertimenti – Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
Camerata Nordica
Terje Tønnesen
The present recording collects some of Mozart's most famous occasional music. He wrote this Serenate and Divertimenti for parties, ceremonies and other festive events, as it was usual for composers who did not attend to the composition of church or operatic music. The genre of the "serenade" was originally associated with a musical greeting to the beloved, but in the 18th century it designated «a work of a particular character, formal structure and instrumentation, of which Mozart's serenades are the chief examples», as the New Grove points out.
In Vienna, the serenade or serenata was extremely popular at the end of the century. It was customary to play them in parks and other places in the open air. It is therefore not by chance that Mozart composed one of his most beautiful serenades, Eine kleine Nachtmusik, while living there (he completed it in August 1787), as it provided a secure source of income for the composers.
This wonderful recording by the Camerata Nordica and Terje Tønnesen, features Eine kleine Nachtmusik together with other five works.
Serenata Notturna: the Performance
Fiirst of all, it is necessary to state that this recording is a little gem. The Camerata Nordica and Terje Tønnesen perform the six works with exquisite taste, freshness of invention and skill. The brilliant sound of the ensemble gives to the works a characteristic, shining colour. In this way, if on the one hand the fast movements are more brilliant and vivacious than ever, on the other the slow ones always reveal their sparkling vitality.
Adagio & Fugue, Eine kleine Nachtmusik
Despite the character of this recording is prevalently amusing, it opens quite gloomy. The Adagio & Fugue in C Minor K546 is a melancholic work that the Camerata Nordica plays with pathos. Immediately after that, however, the programme offers several samples of Mozart's liveliest music. The most popular work is for sure the Serenade No. 13 in G Major, K. 525, better known as Eine kleine Nachtmusik.
As for this performance, the Nachtmusik shines for exuberance and shimmering colours. The first movement, one of the most famous in the history of music, is played with such verve and enthusiasm to be delightful. The tempo is a little fast and it is maybe what helps to achieve such a fine result. The second movement is more relaxed, but equally vivid. The other two movement echo the energy of the first and conclude worthily one of the liveliest performance of the Nachtmusik. Furthermore, the sound of the strings is remarkably brilliant throughout the work.
Serenata Notturna
The other works are as vibrant and finely performed, especially the Serenata notturna, which reveals the same character of the Nachtmusik. This work, however, has a firmer character. In its three movements, the Camerata Nordica is able to present a progression from the military Marcia, to the intermediate character of the Minuetto, which still echoes the previous movement despite the grace of the dance that the strings portray so finely, to end with the Rondo. Allegretto, which is graceful and witty and where the joie de vivre triumphs.
The two Divertimenti (K136 and K138) are equally charming. In their joyful, sometimes even feverish movements, they are amusing and vivacious. Anyway, it is a slow movement as the Andante from K136 that really draw the listener's attention. This piece, as the others, is remarkable for its thoughtfulness, for its delicacy and melancholy, which is rendered with rich and detailed sound and stunning, vivid colours.
In its six works, this recording it is able to condense the moods that are commonly associated with Mozart's music. Its lively spirit and its impertinence, but also its melancholy and above all that inventiveness that perhaps is the best, the most familiar feature of these serenades and divertimenti. Add to this an amazing performance by an accomplished ensemble, and this recording will steal your heart for sure.

Cretz, Ambassador, U.S. Embassy - Tripoli, U.S. Dept of State. REASON: 1.4 (b), (c), (d)
1. (S/NF) During a June 21 meeting, Ambassador pressed FM Musa Kusa to establish a more direct mechanism to provide regular U.S. Embassy access to returned GTMO detainees and information on their legal status, saying the GOL's cooperation could improve prospects for the return of other Libyan detainees.
2. (S/NF) Kusa said the GOL had cooperated with the U.S. on apprehending and questioning al-Qaeda terrorists since the September 2001 attacks in New York. Kusa and other Arab security chiefs (Kusa was head of Libya's External Security Organization until his appointment as Foreign Minister this year) had expected the USG to return the al-Qaeda suspects to their countries of origin after questioning by the U.S., but this had not transpired. The GOL understands that the USG is "under pressure" from human rights groups not to return the suspects to certain countries. While Libya wants to be helpful, it is not pressing for the return of the remaining Libyan detainees to Libya. "We are not overly concerned about them," he said.
3. (S/NF) If the USG does decide to transfer the detainees to Libya, Kusa asked that the GOL be informed in advance. The detainees would be incarcerated and referred to the Qadhafi Development Foundation (headed by Saif al-Islam al-Qadhafi), which operates a rehabilitation program for extremists in Libya's security prisons. The detainees would be entitled to family visits like other prisoners. Kusa warned that some of the Libyan detainees might return to violence if they were released. The Ambassador pressed several times for Kusa's commitment to provide regular Embassy access and information on the current returnees' legal status, but Kusa did not make any specific commitments in this regard.
4. (S/NF) Comment: Kusa's comments reflect no change in Libya's policy of providing limited access and information regarding detainees returned to Libya. The GOL appears reluctant to agree to a formal mechanism to provide regular access and detailed information on detainees' legal status -- issues it considers to be sensitive internal matters. That said, the GOL has granted the Embassy access to the two returnees currently in Libyan custody on a case-by-case basis (the access has at times been timely, but more often has come after significant delay) and has continuted to offer assurances that the detainees are being treated humanely. End comment. CRETZ

Nicotine is the drug that is found in tobacco and is what makes cigarettes so addictive. Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs, but it is also one of the most widely used, as smoking is more socially acceptable than many other substances. Smoking is an expensive habit that can cause financial strain and severe medical problems, like heart disease and lung cancer. It affects every part of the body. Quitting smoking is very hard for most people, and treatment for the addiction often consists of nicotine replacement therapy. There are also many support groups to help someone stay away from nicotine for good.

About Nicotine Addiction
Addiction to nicotine is not immediate, but once it takes hold, it is extremely strong. Smoking cigarettes is very habit forming and creates both physical and psychological dependence. As nicotine enters the brain through the inhalation of cigarette smoke, it causes physiological reactions like an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, and constriction of the blood vessels. These physiological reactions to nicotine become much worse if large amounts of nicotine are consumed. As smokers become addicted and develop a tolerance to the drug, they are less likely to experience symptoms like coughing, nausea, headache or dizziness.
Treatment Of Nicotine Addiction
While some smokers are able to quit smoking "cold turkey," many need a little help. Nicotine replacement therapy helps to reduce withdrawal by supplying the body with smaller amounts of nicotine in the form of patches, gum, or inhalers. While inpatient rehabilitation is not usually required to quit smoking, some kind of support for at least a couple of months is extremely important. Treatment for nicotine addiction should include seeing a doctor regularly, talking to a counsellor or therapist, and involvement in a support group, either online or in person.
Post Rehabilitation Of Nicotine Addiction
Cigarette cravings will become fewer and further between as time goes on, but the addiction is still there. A nicotine addict should find healthy ways to deal with smoking triggers. It's important that they stay away from things that they associate with smoking, and instead, involve themselves in new hobbies and develop new routines. Exercise is something many ex-smokers find to be helpful, as breathing is much easier as a non-smoker and it makes them feel good about the decision to quit.

So when Husband and I spotted these life sized cutouts of One Direction members in Target, we knew it would be the perfect treat to have stored away to surprise Maddy with some time. At $49.95 it was never going to happen, but when we realised they were on sale for $30, I parted reluctantly with some cash and hid Harry in the wardrobe for a little while.
The day came when Maddy's bedroom was clean, she'd had a fabulous week of being helpful and sweet, and I wanted to reward her. So that night, we set Harry up to loom over Maddy in the dark.
The thought was that she would wake to see a dark figure and would have a little freakout before switching on the light and spotting her idol. I figured the resulting screams, either from the dark figure or the idol spotting would wake us up.
It didn't quite pan out that way though. In typical tweenager style, she slept long into the morning, so that I was up and tapping away on the computor in the next room. Husband had paused at the door for a chat when stirring noises emerged from Maddy's room. Husband, from the doorway, peering down the hall, started to grin and I tiptoed over so that I could catch the action.
That's when a lifesize stranger burst into my line of vision, scaring the morning coffee out of me (I may or may not have wet my pants). I shrieked, and seconds later echoing cries were heard from each of the babies bedrooms as they were woken up abruptly.
Harry had been carried from a bemused and delighted Maddy's bedroom, so that she could show us her new treasure. He did a great job scaring the bejesus out of someone, it just wasn't her.
Ever had a practical joke backfire on you? Have a tween in love with One Direction?

Could they have based their rejections on facts and incidents not observed in the almost uniformly good behavior of the eponymous Birdman? Regardless, these uncertainties don't discredit the generally forceful special pleading and stark drama involved in the history of a basically unlettered man whose rehabilitation was affected in a remarkable and, perhaps, unprecedented manner. If what we see in the film is just as true as what may be omitted, he's still an enormously sympathetic character. Were he to have committed a cold-blooded crime, for example, that wouldn't overturn the tender humanity genuinely evinced with such integrity in what Frankenheimer shows us. Birdman of Alcatraz is shaped with subtlety and almost unilateral attention to characterization, the result being that the characters, from start to finish, and thus the whole film in all its pros and cons, are remarkable and invigorating. The lifer's stubbornness is his artistic methodology, voiced early on by his loyal guard who says, "You ain't got much, but you keep subtractin'!" Lancaster's Robert Stroud is the "real and living man" of the film's caption, a massive mama's boy shown to us while traveling to Leavenworth where he meets Malden's single-mindedly despotic warden, his arch-rival. In solitary confinement the homicidal "dingbat" finds himself keen on a fallen sparrow and steadily transforms his cell into a makeshift aviary. In this in-depth, far-reaching construct of the Frankenheimer social exile, the solemnity of this biopic gives persuasiveness to the cutting silliness of men who resort to canaries simply so they don't shank one another and then become old together anyhow. It's about the arduous physical effort of science, about learning consideration from that guard, played by Neville Brand, about pushing to discover means to break their confined environs. Notice the way Frankenheimer has the brass band in the dinner hall fall quiet so we can hear the shiv going into a stomach. And notice the twist of its supporting cast, an outstanding rota of transformations: Telly Savalas's monologue about ugly parrots and ugly girlfriends, the spasm on Thelma Ritter's mouth that betrays her as the connection to Angela Lansbury's motherly monster in The Manchurian Candidate. In spite of it all, the movie's postscript reflects the present world from Stroud's unflappable outlook. Frankenheimer's control focuses on the growth of his hero, a gloomy, outwardly unfixable lifer, rescued from capital punishment by the appeals of his mother to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, into an autodidactic scientific examiner and a man whose survival thus adopted significance and import. The collaboration between director and star stand out with realism of fine distinction and regulation. We're inclined to accept as true that the hatchling sparrow he discovers when he takes his forlorn exercise time will budge this callous convict out of his desolation. The more his noble concern with keeping it alive grows, the more we're awestruck by his longing to understand more about the virus that kills some of the numerous feathered companions he finagles to be allowed to raise. What's fascinating about it? His interest is not intellectual. It's primal. His rapport with that neighboring inmate through the bricks, played in inarticulate but entirely telling fashion by Savalas, is less about Lancaster's re-emergence from anti-social patterns than it is about the infectiousness of the human instinct to have companionship and understand more. In such a dark, dank milieu, with such somberly hushed tones throughout, we applaud the notion that, in the end, his overpoweringly acute passion for these animals, a devotion that fuels his will to live in his captivity, gives rise to his maturity as a man of knowledge and the author of a classic volume on diseases and cures in ornithology. The devotion of Tom Gaddis, who wrote Stroud's biography, as well as the attachment of screenwriter Guy Trosper, together with Frankenheimer and Lancaster, are palpable and real. The drama they extracted from the up-to-then ongoing true story is both touching and credible albeit the entirety of the particulars don't emerge on the screen. As the dramatization of the profile of an inmate uncommon, if not exceptional, to the history of American penology, it keeps part of the portrait in shadow, but it is, all the same, a meditative and compelling story that cuts into the soul notwithstanding its oversights. An acknowledgment of the nerve required to blaze a trail, this is unquestionably one of Frankenheimer's most contemplative films.

By Ned Hickson
As a journalist, I'm trained to recognize even the most subtle signs of trouble.
A misspoken word.
A reluctant glance.
A horde of slobbering rabbits.
Thanks to my training and experience -- and several highlighted newspaper clippings sent in by concerned readers -- I have painstakingly pieced together what I, as a member of the conservative media, believe is undeniable evidence that rabbits are planning to take over the world.
How? By radiating themselves and producing offspring roughly the size of Volkswagen Beetles.
You're probably thinking this could never happen.
At least not outside of New Jersey.
But at this very moment, according to a recent BBC report, rabbits living near a nuclear plant in Caithness, Scotland are under surveillance after EPA officials discovered what they described as "bunnies hopping in and out of solid waste pits." In addition, investigators found rabbit feces that, for months, had been mistaken for "small piles of Trix cereal."
According to the report, the UK Atomic Energy Authority has been told to use any means necessary to fix the problem and keep rabbits from burrowing into the waste pits. Some biologists, like Dr. Yam Higginsworth, warn it may already be too late.
"In my opinion, come spring, the surrounding woods will be littered with rabbit pellets the size of basketballs," Higginsworth predicted. "From an ecological standpoint, this is not good."
The parliament of neighboring England has demanded the Scots formally present a plan for dealing with the threat before the Queen's scheduled annual holiday in the Scottish Highlands this October.
"Suffice it to say, the Queen of England will not vacation anywhere there is a chance -- however remote -- she will have to fight a giant rabbit," said British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
In a statement issued from the White House, President Bush expressed his concern, as well as his willingness to discuss how best to deal with the problem, based on his past experience dealing with, "What he still believes were giant jack-o-lopes," said White House Press Secretary Tony Snow. When asked if there was any evidence to support the President's claim, Snow said there wasn't, but that the CIA was in the process of obtaining a postcard from Texas depicting a man riding a jack-o-lope on the high plains.
In an awkward moment, one member of the press corps asked if a twenty-five-cent postcard was really enough evidence to justify the President's claim, to which Snow retorted, "Are you new here?"
Residents of Scotland see the world's escalating concern over the threat of giant, frequently fornicating radioactive rabbits as unfounded. As one man outside of a pub in Edinburgh put it, "I've been seeing giant rabbits around here for years."
On Monday, the first draft of Scotland's plan is expected to be completed.
"We have every confidence that Scotland will devise a comprehensive, effective plan to deal with this situation," said Brown. "But even if they don't, we're still sending Charles and Camilla."

Kollel Iyun Hadaf, Jerusalem
(a) Our Mishnah considers wild animals and birds in an enclosure, trapped. Initially we resolve this with the Beraisa, which forbids catching a wild animal from inside an enclosure - by establishing our Mishnah like the Rabbanan (who *do* consider wild animals inside an enclosure trapped); whereas the author of the Beraisa is Rebbi Yehudah (who does *not*).2)
(a) We are still left however, with the discrepancy - between our Mishnah, which considers birds trapped in an enclosure, and the Beraisos, which do not.3)
(a) The previous distinction by birds, prompts us to answer the original discrepancy (with regard to wild animals) by making a similar distinction between two kinds of enclosures - our Mishnah speaks about a small enclosure, the Beraisa, a large one.4)
(a) Abaye objected to Rav Yosef (quoting Rav Yehudah Amar Shmuel)'s ruling like Raban Shimon ben Gamliel - because Raban Shimon ben Gamliel does not come to dispute the Tana Kama, but to explain what an enclosure is according to him. So why is it necessary to issue a ruling like an opinion which is unanimous?5)
(a) Ducks and chickens require a net to catch them, yet they are considered caught. They and pigeons both return to their nests each evening - the difference between them (regarding the Din of trapping) is that whereas the owner is obligated to feed the former (which therefore know him and acknowledge that he is their master, like animals), he is not obligated to feed the latter.6)
(a) One may take a trapped animal etc. from the net where it is caught - provided one knows that they were caught before Yom-Tov.
(a) The Tana Kama of yet another Beraisa permits Shechting animals from 'Nigarim' on Yom-Tov, but forbids taking them from nets and traps in which they have been caught. Nigarim - are enclosures (synonymous with Bibrin), so-called because they used to dig irrigation-ditches (Nigrei Mayim) in them.8)
(a) Raban Gamliel maintains that the fruit brought to him by the Nochri (Safek Muchan) was permitted. Levi explains this to mean 'permitted to *eat*' - Rav says that it is only permitted to *receive* it (but not to eat).9)
(a) The Beraisa permits 'Dagim Mefulamin' or freshly-picked fruit that is brought by a Nochri on Yom-Tov. 'Dagim Mefulamin' - are fish that are still fresh.10)
(a) If a Nochri brings fruit on Yom-Tov and there is some of that kind still attached to the trees in that area, it will remain forbidden the whole of that day - and become permitted 'bi'Chedei she'Ye'asu' (until the time it takes to achieve the same result - be'Heter) after the termination of the *first* day of Yom-Tov.Next daf

Last Friday evening, I enjoyed an unbelievable coincidence and I've been thinking about it ever since.
Have you ever had a "that's not a knife" moment? You know what I'm talking about. 1986... Crocodile Dundee... ring a bell?
Sue: "Mick, give him your wallet."
Mick: "What for?"
Sue: "He's got a knife."
Mick (brandishing his own weapon): "That's not a knife. This is a knife."
A recap of my evening:
I was sitting on the couch with a bag of chips destined to be dunked in salsa while watching late night TV. Actually, I'm not sure how much TV the chips were able to see as they made their way from bag to salsa to mouth, but this isn't about them anyway.
...so, I was flipping channel to channel, and for some reason, I decided to see what was on Nightline.
I haven't watched Nightline in years. I'm more of a Daily Show/Colbert Report fan, but those shows don't air on Fridays, and for good reason. No one is around to watch them. Come to think of it, for a guy my age to be watching Nightline on a Friday night, it has to be some kind of desperate cry for help. That guy needs to get laid, right? And sure, that could easily be the topic of this post - but it isn't.
...so, I was flipping channel to channel, and for some reason, for the first time in years, I decided to see what was on Nightline.
Roll opening credits... "This is Nightline for Friday, January 11th, 2008..." blah blah. "Tonight ... a journey along the world's most dangerous road."
"THAT'S NOT A KNIFE!" I cried out at the TV, much to the chips' confusion.
We've reached the moment where a statement will be presented as fact, and I will dispute it.
TV Reporter: "...a journey along the world's most dangerous road."
Rob: "...oh please."
Chip en route to salsa: "It sure looks like a dangerous road."
Rob (brandishing his Lonely Planet guidebook): "That's not a dangerous road. This is a dangerous road."
I was a high school kid living as an exchange student in Bolivia. I had a bad photocopy of an even worse map of an old Inca trail and a vague set of instructions that went a little something like this:
"Go to a part of La Paz called Villa Fatima. You'll be able to find a truck to hitch to the start of the trail. Tell the driver to drop you off at the statue of Christ near La Cumbre. It's huge. He'll know what you're talking about. The trail veers off to the left. You'll find it. The hike should take you about four days. Good luck."
The word 'summer' can be deceiving when you're high in the Andes. The town of La Cumbre, which is really just a few houses, sits at an elevation of almost 16,000 feet. When the truck stopped so we could climb out, a thick layer of clouds was rolling in. And it was snowing. In the middle of summer.
Just for the record, I was seventeen and my friend was sixteen. Neither of us had a clue what we were getting ourselves into. We were both beginning to become fluent in Spanish, but it made little difference where we were going. The common language there would be Quechua - once the language of the Incas.
Hiking an Inca trail is an experience I have trouble putting into words. It was beyond amazing.
The good news was that nearly the entire trail was downhill. We began hiking at nearly 16,000 feet and ended at an elevation of around 4,000 feet, beginning on a bleak rocky mountaintop and ending in a lush subtropical valley. The change of scenery along the way is astounding, not to mention the occasional Inca ruins.
The bad news was that neither of us had any experience hiking nor any clue what we were doing, but we had a tent, a week's worth of supplies, and the sort of clueless ambition that only a teenager could possess.
The four day trail took us nearly a week to hike.
It was the rainy season. That's an important fact considering the trail had been paved in stone hundreds of years ago. And parts of the paving that were still intact were goddamn slippery. Imagine mossy stones worn down over a few hundred years.
By the third day of hiking down into a tropical valley, the trail was overgrown to the point that it was hard to follow.
And then there were the bridges we crossed along the way. For me, these were the highlight of the trail.
This looked friendly enough. A bunch of thick branches supported and roped together. OK.
This one was a little less friendly since it swung and swayed as we crossed it (one at a time, I should add).
And this one was... hey wait. What the HELL?
Yes, this is a picture of me, many years ago, swinging across a raging stream by a cable.
You can imagine our shock when we arrived at a bridge more frightening than the previous James Bond style cable.
Note the sections where branches are missing. Also, for a sense of the size of the scene and the length of this bridge, take a look at the tree on the lower left in the ravine below.
Amazingly, even after we'd finished the hike and were relaxing in the tropical village of Corroico, we still had one more surprise waiting for us: The Yungas Road. ("Yungas" refers to the deep lush Andean valleys in Bolivia)
The return trip to La Paz involves another ride in the back of a truck. No big deal, I thought. I'd hitch-hiked plenty of times by that point. Nothing could surprise me.
The road from Corroico to La Paz was unlike anything I could have imagined. It connected a few towns in the low sub-tropical valleys with the capital of La Paz high in the Andes. Being that we'd spent a week hiking straight down from 16,000 to 4,000 feet, that meant the road back to La Paz would be a climb into the clouds, and it sure was.
We hitched a ride in the back of a truck with twenty other people, and away we all went.
As the truck traversed its way through the Andes along this road, we passed cross after cross, marking spots where previous vehicles had slid off and plunged to their passengers' deaths. On one side of the road would be a cliff, and on the other, a vertical drop.
At one point, the truck lurched around a corner and there was a scream. As I spun around to see what was going on, a wall of water flooded us all. Swooosh!!!! We'd driven through a waterfall. A stream made of melting glacier water was flowing straight down over the cliff, splattering onto the road and then flowing down the mountain on the other side.
We drove through at least three of these waterfalls, each preceded by a scream.
Years later, I found the following quote about that road in a guidebook written by Lonely Planet:
"Although rumour has it that a road more terrifying than the one between La Paz and the Yungas exists somewhere in Zanskar or Bhutan, we won't believe it until we see it."
And that brings me back to this past Friday night.
I hadn't watched Nightline in years. What are the odds that on the evening when I finally DO watch the show, they're talking about the world's most dangerous road - and indeed it was THAT ROAD!
I have to admit, I was thrilled. Watching this story was like stepping back in time. I could picture it all so clearly in my mind. The cliffs, the views, and the rocks that would fly out from under our tires and fall off the cliff on the other side of the road. I could even hear the screams and remember how icy cold the water was as it flooded us all in the back of the truck. I remembered the disbelief. "Did we just go through a fucking waterfall?!?" And just when I started to get over the shock of it, we drove through another one. "Awe SON OF A...!!!!!!"
Apparently, the road is no longer the main route into the Yungas. A new 'safer' road was built a decade ago, and now adventure cycling type groups ride along the old one simply because they can.
What a bizarre world.
What a small, bizarre world.
Thanks for the memories Nightline. I might have to watch you again sometime.

Top 10 Non-Top 200 being played in September 2013 (better late then never)
- Mike JonesUnited States
FloridaYeah it's here! Really it's right here.
Well it's been very bust for me, but finally had a moment to sit down and type some, so it's better late then never.Recommend
Three new ones this month, Bruges, Augustus, and Mascarade.
With Elder Sign, Bohnanza and Lost Cities dropping off.
If you want to 'subscribe', I do have a meta-list that can be found at:
Without further ado....
One thing I dislike about some people's monthly lists, is after a while they stop explaining their reasoning behind them. So, if you've read mine before (or you don't care) you can skip on to the list now. But, here's the full why:
IMHO, some games are good because others say they are good. And so get more play; "all these people are playing this game, let's play it". While other good games sit around with little notice because they aren't being talked about. So, a few years ago I decided to start looking at those games that are getting played a lot that AREN'T part of the top 200. You may ask why top 200 and not 100? Or for that matter 300? 'Because'. Although, I suppose if I was motivated, I'd really switch it to 500.
IMO, if a lot of different people are playing a game, it must have some value to someone somewhere. That's not to say that the Top 200 AREN'T good games or there aren't games out there that are good that aren't getting any play. I'm just trying to show some games out there that different people are playing 'because they are fun' and not just because they have the best press. Over the past couple months, I've gotten a couple comments about 'well these are on BSW (or what not)'. To that I have to say "ah but you have heard of [them].." Again, I'm not saying there aren't MORE good games out there.
I've also had a suggestion about adding weight to longer games. A complaint is that these are short (filler) games because people are more likely to play shorter games. Well, isn't that the point? Showing some games that people in your group might be willing to play. Plus, I'm doing it on number of users playing it, not number of times. IMHO The length of a game does not measure enjoyment. For my gaming tastes I get more enjoyment playing 3-6 different games in the same time the other table is playing one game of TI3.
Obviously, expansions skew this. It's just going by how they were logged. So, if someone logged Niagara while others logged the game under spirits, it's just got Niagara.
So, here's some 'good' press for games that may not be showing up on 'top lists'.
I'm allowing additions, but let's keep it to those games that are good (to your group), get played a lot on BGG (you decide), but aren't ranked in the Top 500.
My HM are games that look interesting that just stay under these 10 or that I've played recently and are just outside the top 10. I've also added a Top500 HM and Top1000 HM. The most played (by different users, not number of times) that is ranked higher then 500 and 1000 and not on this list already.
I had had a couple lists by weight, but since this is 100 eye balling manual through the game stats page, I've dropped those.
I must say each month I had gone ahead and picked up a few games off of this list and for the most part have been VERY pleased. Most people in the group are buying the top games and I've been adding to the game library by adding these gems. The lone exception really was Poison. I some how thought there would be more to that game then counting to 13.

Green brigades are being made to ensure plant protection in Telangana.
Hyderabad: In a recent initiative to carry together animal husbandry and Haritha Haram ventures is on the anvil. Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao has decided to provide 13 lakh saplings to dairy farmers in the state.
Read More: Bribes, biryani, freebies rule university elections in Telangana
Over the new scheme, every single dairy farmer will get six fruit-bearing trees to plant, which would then be utilized as food for the animals. Officers say, "The initiative that will start on Dasara, will upturn the green cover of the Telangana state." Adding to this, they stated that the plan to accomplish 33 percent green cover in the state is in complete swing. The greening mark of 100 percent has previously been attained in ten districts and in the additional sixteen districts, 70 percent has been attained.
Green groups are being made to make sure plant protection. The forest department also has begun a new initiative of geo-tagging shrubberies that have sprouted, by linking them to Google maps. Above 69 percent of plants have been geo-tagged till now. Rendering to the Chief Minister's guidelines, the forest department will make sure normal supply of water to all plants should the rains wane before the seedlings sprout.

Magic and reality are blurred in the new trailer for Sleight
"If you had a power that no one else had, when would you choose to unleash it? That seems to be one of the questions at the center of Sleight. The main character can do something amazing, but when to do it is the real problem."
Peer back at the movies and TV shows of 2016
Max Shishkin hasn't forgotten about this years' movies and TV shows, and has made an awesome tribute-compilation that summarily peers back at the highlights, with a bit of oomph – quite enjoyable indeed. (Spoilers and NSFW parts ahead.)
"Alien: Covenant" trailer: monsters dominate here
I've always been a fan of the Alien franchise, ever since I was a kid. Prometheus was mellowed down for the most part, but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless. From this trailer, I expect I'll enjoy the follow-up even more.

Okay I know I'm posting this two days early, but I was moved to type this after reading something posted on Facebook by Lizzy the Lezzy. Thanksgiving isn't about family, necessarily. True, most of us see it as one of the few times we get together with blood relatives, but the true meaning of Thanksgiving should be to remember what we have to be thankful for. We should remember that every day, as we should remember all things every day of the year, but since we've picked a particular day of the year to stand out among the rest, then we should celebrate it right.
I understand that there are hundreds of LGBT folk in this country who don't have a family to go home to because that family has rejected them. But what is family, really? Isn't it those who love and support you no matter what? The partner you go home to every night. The best friend who was the first person you came out to.
This isn't familygiving. It certainly isn't friendsgiving as I've seen is the latest silly trend. This is Thanksgiving. Give thanks for those you've surrounded yourself with. Don't dwell on what you don't have because there are plenty of kids and adults with no one at all – not even a support group of friends and partners.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving y'all and celebrate with who you wan, however you want.

Batteries have to be occasionally charged to prolong their efficiency. Batteries are charged by the use of electricity using battery chargers. Batteries range from car batteries to phone batteries. Other electrical devices that are portable also require the use of batteries to power them. Batteries act as back up plans for electricity in the case of shortage of power. Getting good battery chargers depend on a lot of factors that have to be considered. The first step into getting a good battery is by knowing the battery type. Some batteries only use specific chargers as instructed by the manufacturer. Using a different charger for such batteries might lead to faultiness.
The best battery charger should be one that gives the required amount of voltage at a time during the charging process. This ensures that the battery gets only enough power that it can handle. The battery charger picked on should be mechanically compatible with the battery. Most phone manufacturing companies produce chargers for the phones. The manufacturers also provide spare parts for the phone that can be purchased from phone accessory stores. The right charger for a phone can be obtained from relevant phone dealers. The charger should have specifications as per the phone battery's power requirement. It is advised that when getting a new charger for a phone battery, it should have the manufacturer's preference and features like the original charger. The size of the cell determines the battery charger that can be used on it. High voltage battery requires chargers that can give forth the power within an estimated time according to manufacturers.
Car batteries vary in size and shapes and should have different chargers. Excellent battery chargers should be automatic such that they do not require to be attended to by a human being. Automatic battery chargers can detect when the battery power is running low and begin charging them without being switched on. The chargers can also switch off after the battery is fully charged. This types of battery chargers help in avoiding car breakdowns. Battery chargers should have security sensitivity. Connecting a cable to the wrong polarity might cause fires since vehicles are run by flammable gases and liquids. Battery chargers should give warning to the user when the cables are misused. Fuses are an integral part of a battery charger that a good one should have. Fuses prevent the damages caused by an excess flow of power through the battery charger. Read our review first to be able make a very informed decision.

"Did you really want to paint the kitchen island Dallas Cowboy blue?" is not a question you want to be asked by your husband after your kitchen island has been painted -- as you walk through the door -- when you are excited to get home to see the just-painted result.
Absolutely not.
I had researched the perfect blue and sampled several on mock up doors and settled on what I thought was the right navy blue hue. Funny thing is, though, once we pulled up the kraft paper on the floor, exposing the wood tone of the floor against the island -- whew! -- the navy looked like it was supposed to! (Though I often stare at it accusingly-like and think maybe it does really look like electric blue?)
Speaking of blue islands -- certainly a trend, right? Maybe not the smartest thing to do, but the beauty of paint is that you can always re-paint if needed. In the meantime, I will thoroughly enjoy my too-trendy blue island until I'm ready for a new color!
Read on for details on how we stretched our money and made our kitchen selections.
Before this house, I had just gotten through with the dark wood cabinets, deep red and olive green wall trend (anyone remember this?!?) and was ready for light and airy. White cabinets, bold islands and subway tiles had me swooning. My husband, Rick, wanted to try his hand at some woodworking so we blended all of our wishes together to create our kitchen.
Because cash was low, we used a discount-shop for our kitchen counter quartz. Instead of a creamy white with pretty veining, we ended up with a dull-grey-white. I don't like it, but the subway tiled wall behind the range makes up for it. So cheap were these subway tiles, they were almost free!
Half of the island top is a tabletop wood top crafted by Rick. Making the wood features for the kitchen was something new for him, it took a while, but I think it was satisfying to him. I know I love that he made them.
Kitchen finishes
I wanted Rejuvenation everything when picking out our kitchen lighting and hardware finishes. I know quality details can really make a difference, but, unfortunately, I don't have a money tree in my backyard. We have an entire house to remodel, furnish and style.
It is painful to pay $25 for one cabinet pull when I can buy a pack of 6 for the same price at a big box store. I did, however, really want brass in my kitchen so I paid the $25 per cabinet pull; the knobs were a little less expensive. (note: this has been my one and only Rejuvenation purchase to-date and I can testify that getting a Rejuvenation package is more satisfying than picking out fixtures and accessories at a big box store!)
Kitchen Sink & Faucets
I love the idea of brass plumbing fixtures, which are hundreds to thousands of dollars, and when I win the lottery I'll splurge for them. In the meantime, chrome fixtures are fine with me. I don't have a matchy-matchy personality so mixing metals works for me, and chrome saved us $$ for something else.
I wanted an apron sink with only one compartment (easier for washing large pans and platters). I searched high and low and finally settled on a high-quality sink and pull-down faucet combo from Kraus. The quality and appearance are great and I get an A+ for the price ... got both the sink and faucet for a little under $600 with taxes and delivery.
Rick aded a cold water supply line behind the cooktop when renovating the kitchen. It wasn't really on my wish list but was on his. The plumbing cost was minimal since he was already re-routing the plumbing lines, so it was more or less just his time. I was shocked at the cost of the actual finish -- pot fillers can be expensive, starting around $350 (*%&!). I found our $70 plain fixture through Amazon. And I must say, for the record, this is a point for my husband -- a pot filler is by no means a necessity but is convenient because we cook a lot.
PENdant Lighting
We purchased simple brass fittings & glass globe through Amazon's site. The maker seems pretty cool and quirky. You can check out his website and even buy fixtures directly from him here: mpdesignshop My pendants are simple and gave me the look I wanted without costing a fortune.
Our luckiest kitchen buy was floor model Kitchenmaid appliances purchased from Pacific Kitchen and Home located inside of our local Best Buy. Pacific Kitchen and Home is an arm of Best Buy dealing with contractors, but open to the public. We were in a rush situation, had to make a decision fast, and I found it very cool that we were able to pick out our appliances, pay a small down payment and pay them off at delivery. The floor models came with a full warranty.
If you're looking for a great deal, shop the floor models and talk to the sales people. Our appliances weren't marked down in the store but through conversation we found out they were getting ready to be significantly marked down. There were some nerves involved with buying floor models but they came with a full warranty.
Kitchen Finish Summary
- Unlaquered Brass Cabinet Pulls & Knobs: Rejuvenation
- Kitchen Sink and Faucet: Amazon
- Pot Filler Faucet: Amazon (note: mine is in chrome, what is available now is stainless steel but the price is still great -- around $70)
- Pendants: Ordered through Amazon: brass fittings & glass globe

General-All Business Entities
Choice of Entity
How do I choose a company name?
Am I required to reserve a company name prior to incorporating?
How do I get a Federal Employer Identification (FEI) number?
I already have an FEI. Do I need another one?
Do I need to incorporate or register in another state?
How do I get a d/b/a (trade name)?
What is a registered agent?
What address should I use as a registered agent?
When would I want to hire a registered agent?
How can I conceal this business from my current employer?
I want maximum privacy. How do I keep my name or address from appearing in the Secretary of State records?
Can I run more than one business through one corporation/LLC or can I have multiple Entities for one business?
For example:
XYZ Printing Company is a partnership and is not incorporated. The company has been in business for several years.
Another example:
XYZ Printing Company is a corporation. They fail to file an Annual Report with the Georgia Secretary of State and are administratively dissolved. However, they continue in business and are not aware of the problem. They have the right under current Georgia law to be reinstated simply by paying a $250 penalty fee.
In both of the above examples, you can get approval from the Georgia Secretary of State for the exact same name. Nevertheless, the other company, under "trademark" law, can force you to change your name and stop doing business in that name. The issue can be even more complex if your name is simply similar to the other company.
Prior to filing Articles of Incorporation with the Georgia Secretary of State, we urge you to conduct a preliminary investigation for same or similar names. Some possible sources are:
If you must be absolutely sure no one else has the same name, please contact us regarding a trademark search. The best protection is obtained by registering your name as a trademark.
The Georgia Secretary of State Corporations Division has the official list of corporations in the State of Georgia. It has more ways to search for a corporate name and will let you know if a name is available. We search the Georgia Secretary of State Corporation records, at no charge, and we warn you of similar names, or entities of the same name that have been dissolved.
Name reservations are optional in Georgia. If your name is quite unique, then generally there is no need to reserve the name. If your name contains initials in the name along with common words (such as J. & R. Investments, LLC) you may wish to reserve the name. Also, if time is of the essence, you may want to reserve the name to avoid the delay of a name rejection.
You obtain a Federal Employer Identification Number by completing an SS 4 application. You can apply online or you can fax or mail a completed SS 4 form to the IRS. However, if there are any doubts your name will not be approved, you should wait until we confirm acceptance of your Articles of Incorporation/Organization by the Secretary of State to file Form SS-4.
When you conduct business out of state, you may be (1) subject to lawsuit(s) in that state rather than in Georgia, (2) subject to taxation in that state, or (3) required to register in that state as a "foreign" corporation. The level of activity that may trigger each of these requirements is different for each activity. This section addresses only the third issue, registration as a foreign corporation.
Each states' requirements are different. In general, if you simply take orders over the phone and ship product to that other state, registration is not required. However, if you establish a branch office with employees in another state, registration is required. In between these extremes are thousands of shades of grey. It can be difficult to determine with certainty if registration is required. Fortunately, isolated transactions generally do not require registration. However, if your entity rents real estate in another state, you will need to register in that state. Registration is often expensive, and most states have substantial penalties for failure to register. Our office can assist you with such a registration. Fees vary by state. Please contact us for details.
If your corporation plans to do business in its corporate name, then you need not register a trade name. However, if your corporation plans to do business under a name other than its corporate name, you must register that name in the county where it conducts its principal activity. This is a relatively simple process. Most larger counties have a one page form you can fill out yourself to register a trade name. Contact the Clerk of Superior Court - Trade Name Clerk at your local courthouse to obtain a form.
If there is any possibility someone else may have already registered your name, you may wish to check the trade name index at the courthouse. Registering a trade name tells other people who the business is owned by but only provides minimal protection of your name. Trade name protection is done through filing a trademark or service mark. Please contact our office if you need information about registering a trademark or service mark.
If you use a trade name, the formal way to identify your name on contracts, invoices, and bank accounts is the corporate name followed by d/b/a (short for "doing business as") and your trade name. For example, ABC, Inc., d/b/a Joe's Barber Shop.
A registered agent is the official contact person for the corporation/LLC. Bluntly put, the registered agent is the person who will be served with papers in the event of a lawsuit. The registered agent's sole duty is to promptly inform management of the corporation that a lawsuit has been filed. Most small businesses have one of the owners as the Registered Agent.
If you choose to be your own registered agent, you should use your most stable address where you can be found on a regular basis. It is okay to use your home address or physical business address. You can not use a post office box. You also can not use a postal mail box provided by private companies.
You should consider hiring someone else to be your registered agent when you:
We provide registered agent services in Georgia. Please contact us for more details.
The name of the registered agent is a public record. Anyone can check with the Secretary of State and find all corporations or LLCs for which you serve as a registered agent. Someone would have to be suspicious and look for you to discover your plans in this fashion. Additionally, corporations (but not LLCs) are advertised in the legal newspaper in the County of the Registered Agent as a part of the incorporation process.
There are two solutions to keep your plans private. The first is to use a trusted friend or family member to initially serve as your registered agent. Then, after you are up and running, designate yourself as the registered agent in the next Annual Registration filed with the Georgia Secretary of State. The second is to hire us to be your registered agent; contact us for details. Also, if you reserve your name have us do it for you to maintain your privacy.
The quick answer is yes to both questions. There can be significant legal and tax benefits to more complex entity combinations. You should consult with both your CPA and your attorney to investigate how this might affect your business.

Western Australia: $300,000 surveillance project
Department of Fisheries to monitor shore-based fishing along Perth coast
The Western Australian Government is spending $300,000 on a surveillance project to assess the sustainability of shore-based fishing along the Perth coast.
Department of Fisheries supervising scientist, Dr Dan Gaughan, said that an understanding of how and where people are fishing is essential in order to effectively manage popular fishing species.
"A considerable number of people fish from the shore. They not only get out there to catch a feed, but also to enjoy the social and recreational aspects of beach fishing and it is important that we maintain that opportunity for future generations," Dr Gaughan said.
Aerial surveys of beach fishing are now complete, and a more conventional land-based survey strategy is underway. The Department of Fisheries said it would assess which of these techniques is the most cost-effective option for ongoing surveillance.

Contemporary Modern Dance
Indulge… Breathe… Move…
Often my class will begin with a yoga-influenced floor warm up, and gradually take the whole body on a tour of the joints, muscles, and bones to prepare it for a physical/intellectual (and, possibly spiritual) experience rooted in weight, momentum, flow, and detail. We will revel in big, dynamic, sincere movement. We will find nuance and clarity. We will dabble in inversion. We will refine our kinetic selves. We will dance like everyone is watching…

Improv 101
In a 4-week session, we will focus on listening, studying body language, and understanding and embodying the point-of-view of someone unlike ourselves through written and improvised exercises. We'll learn how to initiate 2 person scenes and collaborate with our improv partners. The class will culminate in a recital for friends and family!
Some of the topics & exercises to be covered:
- Improv 101 – A brief explanation of improv.
- "Up and Down" Warm Up Exercise - Using word association to practice listening and retaining detail.
- Character Study - Participants will be asked to create a description of a made-up character, including an occupation, a list of likes and dislikes, and a general mood of that person.
- 2-Person Scenes – We will run a set of 2-person scenes using the characters created above to flex our listening & reaction muscles.
The founder of Leather Apron Theatre Co., T.C. has performed and taught improv nationwide for over 6 years. He trained in Chicago at The Second City, iO, and Annoyance theaters. After moving back to Baton Rouge in 2015, he felt like something was missing from the performance community and started a small improv group in the back room of Whole Foods. In October 2016, LATCo began putting on monthly performances, featuring guest monologists, local stand-up comics, and performance artists. Since then, LATCo has created a loyal following, drawing business to the local bars where they perform and exposing new people to improv.
The creative director of LATCo, Betty has trained at Station Theater in Houston, TX, iO in Chicago, and The New Movement in New Orleans. After moving back to Baton Rouge in June 2016, she was looking for a creative outlet and was connected with T.C. After joining LATCo, she saw the growth potential of the group and their audience's interest in wanting to perform. As someone who had to leave Baton Rouge to discover improv, she feels passionate about creating a space in our community for people to learn this art form without having to move.
What is Printmaking? – and intro to a centuries old art form
This course introduces students to the methods, materials, history, and theories involved in printmaking.
We will be discussing the 4 basic types of printmaking processes: Lithography, Serigraphy, Intaglio, and Relief. We will be making prints using the relief and serigraph methods. This course focuses on the forms of print that can be done in the home, without the use of printmaking machinery or facilities. Students will create 2 to 3 compositions using serigraphy and relief printing and engage in a group critique to gain insight on how their work is being understood by others.

It is a known fact that VR will be beneficial for the entire planet. Almost all fields could benefit from VR. Be it agriculture, consumer market or education sector; VR could increase their productivity. But there are certain challenges which may arise out of their use. VR is still nascent, and it may affect each sector in an undesirable way.
Education sector and technology
Education sector of India has evolved and continues to evolve. New technology is introduced in student's life to help them learn. Google is one of the greatest gift to the education sector. Without internet students wouldn't have had access to the outside world. Therefore, we owe a lot to our PCs and tablets for what we know of today.
VR is the next big thing in the tech world. Only an ignorant will say VR cannot have a market like PC or smartphone. So it is evident that VR will infiltrate the education sector too. But what kind of challenges could VR face in this sector?
Key Challenges of VR in education
Affordability is the first challenge. With many countries of the world struggling with economies, setting up VR ecosystem is a challenge. It takes a good infrastructure and equipment to set up a truly immersive beneficial environment. And with the current costs of VR technology, it is a long way before VR could become a staple in schools.
The second challenge could be technical know-how. VR isn't simple or intuitive technology for the first timers. There are countries where computer skills are missing among teachers and students. So VR developers should keep in mind about tech illiterate population for VR to truly shine in education circle.
The last challenge is the lack of content. VR content developers are recently coming up, and it will take time before we find relevant VR content for our use.But with launches of HTC Viveport and Google Daydream, the days are not far where we could see great educational content for the students.
VR has no doubt an immense potential. But currently, VR isn't at that stage where it could replace conventional technology. So development should be aimed to make VR intuitive, affordable and content-rich for the students and teachers to benefit.

There is space for many different approaches to online casino action. We should not equate the biggest, slickest, most-branded sites with either being the best or the safest, necessarily.
Don't wait!! Get your 10 FREE spins from us now!! Register at Vera & John!! ( tell Vera we sent you…)
Like a Local Casino
That's where a homegrown yet long-running casino like Verajohn.com comes into the picture. 'Vera and John's' caters to the un-pretentious set, who love to play online Poker, Blackjack, Baccarat, slots and so forth.
V&J is a bright, jovial youthful-looking site for anybody, probably not for those putting on airs. There is plenty of helpful assistance available in every nook and cranny, from live chat help to a page on the history of casinos.
'Compatibility' Issues, Good Bye!
We all hate to load up our Android phone or tablet with apps that hog our memory, try our patience, demand updates and generally go wonky. Fortunately, we have come to the end of the era in which apps rule — we have a choice now. In 2013 we'll find it increasingly easy to play casinos right inside the Web-browser window. No apps!
VeraJohn is accessible to all Android gaming devices in this fashion, in keeping with the current state-of-the-art, if you like. Isn't it nice that we no longer have to discuss the compatibility issues or update problems of casino apps!
Hand-Picked Games
Great, so what can we play at VeraJohn? It may not be huge and glitzy, folks, but this quirky, cozy mobile casino gives you one of the best (if not the best) selections of games on the Web. The reason is that over the years they have picked up multiple game vendors, so they could pick and chose the best titles to host.
If you think about it, game quality and game selection should be the top priority for us gamblers. Serious Roulette and slots players even go so far as to research the odds and payout percentages of various game titles. When playing at a casino that hosts only one brand of game, like Playtech or IGT, a player is stuck with certain odds built-in.
Welcome Package
But at Verajohn.com, much to the delight of light and serious gamblers alike, there five different systems each with differing payout rates (but don't worry, they're all favourable). If that's not enough of a warm welcome, here's a wrap up of the bonus package:
- First-deposit bonus of 100%, max £500.
- Bonuses distributed copiously all the time.
- 300 games from 5 casino-game vendors.
- You can create private rooms with friends.
Lastly, we want to ease your mind that verajohn is as trustworthy as the big boys. Alternatives to using your credit cards are offered, in plenty. You will be as safe as you care to help yourself to be here (i.e., use one of these anonymous payment methods, folks!).
TIP: Bookmark or sign up for the VeraJohn newsletter (click 'News' at the top of any page) because this is the often the first place that hot deals and specials are called out.

Wendy Srnic: When Biology is Your Calling
Growing up on a thousand-acre family farm in rural Michigan, Wendy Srnic loved "getting her hands dirty" gardening and raising livestock — in the case of her family — cattle. As a child she actively participated in both 4-H and FFA. Srnic, now research director of Integrated Product Characterization & Development at DuPont Pioneer in Johnston, Iowa, says "as far back as I remember, I had strong ties to the land. You get a good feeling because what you're producing is actually nourishing families, communities, and society as a whole."
Today, Srnic still has those ties. She is the leader of a team of 350 employees spanning four countries that is responsible for a key step in the DuPont Pioneer pipeline for getting new hybrids and varieties of corn, soybeans, and other crops to market.
Srnic earned her bachelor's degree in Crop and Soil science from Michigan State University, and her doctorate in Crop and Weed Science at North Carolina State University. Srnic came to DuPont Pioneer after a number of roles in breeding and biotech in the United Kingdom and Italy.
A Proud Moment
One of Srnic's proudest career achievements started in 2012, when she was asked to transform Pioneer's system for "trait integration" (TI). TI is the process by which traits are bred into plants. The teams she led in Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Brazil were able to double the efficiency of the program by implementing changes in technology and process — helping to bring new products to farmers more quickly than ever. "We moved the needle and created something amazing," says Srnic. "I looked upon that project as a time that we really made a difference."
So impressive were the results that in 2015 Pioneer awarded one of its highest honors for research scientists — the Henry A. Wallace Agricultural Revolution Impact Award — to the groups responsible for the transformation of TI.
"I am very proud of the team," she says. "My role was to sell the vision and keep the team pointed in the right direction. They fired themselves and each other up to change the system, which was no small feat — I am awed at the power of an aligned group of committed and innovative people."
Indeed, Srnic says the biggest professional opportunity she faces on a daily basis is achieving this kind of alignment. "Whenever you have a group of scientists and leaders, you are going to hear a lot of great and even brilliant ideas, all of which have potential. But sometimes the resources aren't there, or it's just not the right time to implement a particular idea. My job most days is to try to align my teams and colleagues on the research ideas we do want to pursue without devaluing the other ideas, to challenge our leaders to align, so our people can do their best."
A Passion for Increasing Opportunities
As a female in a male-dominated industry, Srnic is especially passionate about increasing the presence of women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields.
"STEM is a truly rich, rewarding and fulfilling career, with many opportunities for women and the skills they bring — both technical and leadership skills," she says. She recommends that young women go as far as they can with their education — to a doctorate if possible. "Do it. Go as far as you can with your education, while you have the freedom and don't have family and job obligations." Wendy is a great role model for others. As a wife and mother of 4 young children, she was recently awarded the DuPont Working Mother of the Year Award.
Throughout her career, Srnic has had supervisors and colleagues not only as mentors, but also to lobby to give her chances, put in good words for her, and introduce her to the right people. In turn, she gives back. At any given time, she is mentoring three to five women scientists. She created and leads a "Women in Agricultural Science" peer mentoring group with industry, academic, and public institution women scientists from all over the USA. She is passionate about developing Women in Pioneer and in Science and currently leads the Pioneer Women's Network.
STEM is hard, Srnic says, and "we all hit a wall at some point. But if you can work your way through that wall, the rewards on the other side are worth it."

Knowledge Base
ShellBrowser .NET Components
Hallo und herzlich Willkommen in unserer Wissensdatenbank.
Unsere Fachexperten liefern hier Antworten auf die häufigsten Fragen unserer Kunden.
Beginnen Sie Ihre Informationssuche hier, um schnell und einfach auch Ihre Antwort zu finden.
Geben Sie bitte einen Suchbegriff ein oder wählen Sie eine der obenstehenden Kategorien aus.
Alle Einträge (Seite 2 / 3)
The ShellListView or ShellTreeView do not provide a property for this. Instead the ShellControlConnector component, that mediates the checkbox state between different controls in particular, has the property SelectionList which allows to iterate through the list of selected items.
Disable the ShowLines property to enable the full row selection. This needs to be done for all classes deriving from TreeView in order to get the expected result.
You can either set a special windows folder by setting the RootedAt property:
shellTreeView1.RootedAt = Jam.Shell.ShellFolder.Desktop;
Or at your option, you can specify a system path the ShellTreeView component will display:
shellTreeView1.RootedAtFileSystemFolder = @"c:\windows";
Assign the ContextMenuStrip property. It is converted to a ContextMenu instance which is a wrapper of the Windows Shell-API and therefore can be merged with the menu provided by the operating system, including the extensions of third-party applications.
The OnOpening and OnClosing events are mapped to the Popup/Collapse events respectively. Other events provided by ContextMenuStrip are not triggered. A menuitem of course provides the OnClick event.
Furthermore, a property "BackgroundContextMenu" can be assigned for the ListViews of ShellBrowser. It's displayed if the user clicks the right mouse button without having an item selected. A real ToolStripMenu instance can be used here with all events that it supports. It is however recommended to set the RenderMode property to "System" to keep the look & feel consistent with the shell context menu.
Sample code can be found in the JamExplorer example.
The .NET Framework has security features enabled by default which permit to open libraries or programs from a network share.
If you like to use programs or libraries from a network share you need to set the permissions accordingly. For a developer system it would be ok to set the "Permission Set" of My Computer/Runtime Security Policy/Machine/Code Groups/All_Code/LocalIntranet_Zone in the .NET Framework Configuration to "FullTrust".
To set up a correct security profile otherwise, please consult a system administrator if you plan to deploy your application to network drives.
Note that this only applies to .NET versions below 4.0, as the security model in .NET 4.0 has been significantly changed. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd233103%28v=vs.100%29.aspx for details.
There's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes e.g. when installing ShellBrowser and VS is still running, the installer may not succeed in adding the components to the Toolbox of Visual Studio.
To add the components manually, hit the right mouse button on the toolbox, select Choose Items..
Then click "Browse" in the .Net tab, navigate to the folder that contains ShellBrowser.dll and choose it. You will see the new components marked, and with version information.
Click OK to add the components to the Toolbox.
We do not provide special 64 bit versions of our software, but since this software is written in pure .net language it runs natively on 64 bit systems. Provided that your application using the components is deployed as "Any CPU", it will run as a real 64 bit task.
We have no dependencies to third party DLLs. We are only using functions that are part of windows ( e.g. shell32.dll )
Yes, the source code of ShellBrowser .Net Edition is entirely written in C#.
We use Visual Studio 2012 for development but it is also suitable for Visual Studio 2005, 2007, 2010 and other .Net Development Environments.
In 2007, the components have been ported from our well tested Delphi code base. This mature library is in use since 1998. A lot of bug fixes and issues have been solved and are the reason for the efficient and high-quality production implementation for the .Net-Framework.
You can purchase the full source code as well. It contains approximately 1,5 Mb well documented .cs code.
The components are written in pure C# directly accessing the Windows Shell-API. The library is not a wrapper around the ActiveX component.
