By betting any bettor wishes success and would use the Betting Advice guidelines or more –tipster. For those wishing to become professionals, the increased profit rate is a must, and they should necessarily seek ways to optimize their betting tactics and have valuable information and data on their investments.
Such a professional, helping bettors to optimize their betting tactics by giving them recommendations based on numerous factors, is called an advisor or alsotipster. Next, make clear what his functions are in fact.
Tipster – what do we call his field of activity?
The most common channel through which each tipter presents and promotes his betting guidelines is most often his individual betting site, social platforms or professional sports networks. Participants will soon have the chance to find the best tipster for themselves and our platform.
The ultimate ambition of OOD is to be one of the places that collects all bets in one place. Today, we are starting to give users the opportunity to optimize and manage their personal betting tactics, chronologically recording and analyzing their conclusions, and more.
Tipster – how to distinguish the fake counselor from the professional?
Once the tipster tips are enhanced by the bettors, there are also misleading web portals. That is why we will introduce you to the essential things to keep in mind when choosing your tipster.
Essentially, we advise players to stay really ready, provided that the fake tipster in most situations works through only suitable sports matches to create their resume, which maintains the success rate stable – 80-90%.
Tipster – what is the way we are convinced it is reliable?
It's not a gentle endeavor, but the first investigation you can make is to enter that tipter on Google. There are plenty of networks and platforms where players share their experience.
Also, the network provides bettors with different type of tipter tips that are ready for use. Of course, make sure you see the percentage of profit – if some tipster has not registered any interest loss or is successful all the time, it is a sign that has to attract your doubt.
Tipster – at what point do we have to doubt his personality?
Still, you can drop a tipster, providing his or her advice free of charge or standing something like a trap – a little gift of advice and if it turns out the player is happy – a subscription fee. The initial sign to recognize such a tipter is in a situation where this tipster requires your finances before giving any guidance. Be careful!
One of the important instructions given by our team to the players is not to trust the social media. That's why we say that you do not trust too many tipster who owns a social networking account and tries to direct you to a bookmaker to make your bet.
Tipster – Specialized bank accounts for individual counselors
In terms of asset management strategies, the individual bank accounts for each individual tipster you are following is of real significance. When a corresponding asset value is distributed to only one wizard, the player is able to stop on a particular betting system that will only use this tipter and protect his finances.
If you want to become a prosperous tipster, you need to take a tactic to account for the value of your guidelines. Without such success you are unthinkable.
Tipster – what are the problems of working with him?
There is no such thing as a free lunch and any bettor is nice to be very clear that a tipter is possible to be extremely successful but also extremely expensive. Nowadays, the prospect of trusting the tipsters is definitely spreading, and more ways to manipulate participants have been devised.
Eventually, the tipters are likely to produce varied data for each follower for the same event. You need to have enough of a nickname – if you eventually see a strange behavior of the tipster, react immediately. We urge participants familiar with trusting the perfect tipster for them.
Tipster – what kind are his activities?
Tipster is a gambling pros who has solid knowledge and experience in many sporting spheres, backed up by real data and statistics, and offers playable guides related to their games. Featuring similar professionals, the usually proven tipster gives his recommendations to a limited number of players.
Tipster – Stop with this wizard that suits your betting strategy
Each player has some way and computation, according to which he prefers the sport and the events he stakes on. Each tipter acts differently, so every bettor should find a similar mentor that is really good for him. Pointing to the exact tipster for you will surely prove a long-lasting process, but when it's done, you'll have a trusted partner.
Tipster – We make the best of our personality for our users
Because of this, we are currently developing a quote comparison section where users will be able to receive useful services, compare odds, and place bets straight from our platform.

Year after year, one of our favorite parts of summer is treating our backyard like our own beer garden or cocktail lounge. These five repurposed crafts offer up new ways to serve summer drinks outdoors while simultaneously impressing your guests.
1. Thrift Shop Door
After finding a door at a thrift shop for $5, blogger Christy was inspired to give it new life as an outdoor beverage station by sanding it down and painting it. To prepare it for entertaining, she added two shelves—the first is attached to a wine glass holder and the second has legs so that it could stand on its own.
Get the tutorial at Our Southern Home.
2. Rustic Ladder
To turn a ladder into a pretty and practical drink stand, add wooden planks between the rungs so there's plenty of space to place your beverages.
Learn more at 100 Layer Cake.
3. Little Red Wagon
This little red wagon-turned-bar cart couldn't be cuter! Wheel it out at your next outdoor party to instantly add a touch of nostalgic charm to your beverage display.
4. Picnic Table
While having guests over is always fun, it also means a lot of work. Luckily, this picnic table has a built-in wine cooler right down the center, so you won't have to worry about running around to get beverages for your guests once you're siting down.
Learn more at Picnic Tables of Houston.
5. Wheelbarrow
In place of a more traditional cooler, fill a wheelbarrow with ice and fill it up with drinks. This crafty idea takes little time to execute, but it will add a ton of rustic charm to your backyard.

DiNapoli: As Subway On-Time Performance Falls Behind, Better Plans Needed To Get Trains Back On Track
Train delays have increased as the subway system's on-time performance has steadily deteriorated and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) should do more to fix the underlying causes, many of which are controllable, according to an audit released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli.
"The subways are New York City's arteries yet on-time performance continues to be an issue," DiNapoli said. "The MTA has actually lowered its own expectations for addressing subway delays. We're encouraged that MTA has put more money toward improving the ride for straphangers, hopefully it will help improve on-time performance."
DiNapoli's audit highlighted the decline in subway on-time performance during 2013 through 2014. The MTA's Transit division considered a subway train on time if it reached the end of the line within five minutes of its scheduled arrival and stopped at all of its scheduled stops. In 2013 and 2014, the MTA's goal for on-time performance was for 91.9 percent of trains to arrive on time. It fell far short in meeting these targets.
On weekdays in 2013, subways were on time 80.5 percent of the time. Those delays worsened in 2014, when just 74 percent of trains were on time. Subsequently, the MTA lowered its goal to 75 percent of subways running on time. The five other major U.S. transportation systems contacted by auditors had an on-time performance goal of at least 90 percent.
Auditors examined what caused more than half of the almost 500,000 train delays from March 1, 2013 through March 31, 2014 to determine what steps the MTA took to improve on-time performance. Some delays were controllable (car equipment problems, track work), while others were not (sick customers, inclement weather, police investigations). The audit looked at some of the controllable causes that accounted for more than half of the delays to determine if the MTA could show efforts to address these issues.
Car Equipment: Three district managers said subway car equipment problems, which caused six percent of the delays, were caused by older trains and lack of repair parts. However, when auditors reviewed "rolling stock" on 20 lines they found that the oldest cars on the C line had a comparatively high on-time performance while some of the newer cars, like those on the F line, had comparatively low on-time performance.
Track Gangs: One official said that delays attributed to "Track Gangs" — track work crews — were caused by changes in flagging rules introduced in 2009 that require trains to run at slower speeds for extended distances. The official provided auditors with the procedures, but did not provide evidence to support the contention these procedures caused delays.
Employees: Other officials said delays were caused by new employees who were inexperienced with keeping to the schedule. Officials provided a report that showed 1,173 new hires in 2013 and 2014, but could show no analysis of delay categories by employee or employee type. Auditors reviewed train incident reports attributed to employees and found eight of the 15 involved a probationary train operator or conductor. Further analysis in this area could help reduce future delays, the audit concluded.
The audit sought to determine what, if anything, was being done to address the underlying root causes of train delays. Senior MTA officials said they had multiple work groups and committees, including a delay management workgroup, focused on the problem. Auditors met with 12 of that workgroup's 17 members and asked them about efforts to reduce delays, but none mentioned the workgroup's efforts.
MTA also offered little evidence that any of these groups or committees had come up with formal plans or programs to address the root causes of delays.
DiNapoli's audit recommended that the MTA:
- Identify the underlying causes of recurring train delays and develop plans to proactively address the causes; and
- Require monthly feedback from subways' managers on actions they are taking to address recurring categories of train delays.
The MTA disagreed with the audit's finding that it lacked formal plans to address causes of delays and asserted that its assessment of wait time between trains is a better indicator of subway service. But DiNapoli's auditors noted that it is not unreasonable to expect that after years of acknowledging the delays caused by growing ridership, the MTA would have more to show for its efforts than a 17-slide Power Point that is dated after the auditors' field work was completed.
The presentation suggested that riders' wait times were a better service measurement than on-time performance, but didn't address plans for correcting the problems of getting the riders to their destination on time. In addition, the MTA's own survey of straphangers found delays during trips (reflected in on-time performance) were only slightly behind wait times at riders' highest levels of concern. The audit also noted that wait times have grown worse alongside train delays. The MTA's full response and the auditors' comments can be read in the audit which is available at http://www.osc.state.ny.us/audits/allaudits/093015/14s56.pdf.

ELIZABETHTOWN | A day after Elizabethtown-Lewis Central and Westport Central voters approved one of the two merger votes, ELCS reviewed exit poll data and discussed preliminary next steps in the formal centralization review process.
The straw poll last Tuesday was the first step toward establishing a new school district.
The second and binding vote will take place on Dec. 4.
At ELCS, the straw poll vote to merge was approved by an 85 percent majority, 399 yes to 73 no votes.
ELCS school board members took a close look at exit poll responses, touching on comments about uncertainties, rationale and goals.
Of the total 472 people who voted at ELCS, 40.4 percent — or 191 people — filled out questions designed to inform the district about reasons voters marked ballots "yes" or "no."
Forty-seven percent of respondents were not parents, students, former school staff or teacher, a measure officials said was striking.
ELCS Superintendent Scott Osborne reported that 74 percent of people who volunteered to take the survey said they received information about the referendum and merger study via The Sun.
Another 59 percent said they received information from family, friends and neighbors.
ELCS newsletters were also primary source of information for 45 percent of voters who took the exit poll.
Social media informed 41 percent of those surveyed.
And while 53 percent said they voted yes due to concern for tax rates, 88 percent of yes voters surveyed said they want "more opportunities for students."
Input came from the 19 surveys shared by people who voted against the merger.
Forty-seven percent said they voted no because they believe "towns would suffer negatively."
About 42 percent of "no" pollsters said they did not want to lose the individual school identity.
The vote total was 357-198 at WCS.
Osborne said he is working to create a more detailed report that includes a synopsis of handwritten comments, many of which highlight issues that remain of concern.
"We can append that information to bring in narrative with important feedback and thoughts and ideas," Osborne said.
A top concern, he said, was how each school building would be used to accommodate traditions and programs held currently in each district.
Both schools are planning informational public meetings ahead of the final and binding merger vote.
The second vote, too, will include an exit poll, which does not require voters' names or other personal information.
If the final vote is affirmative, Osborne said he and WCS Superintendent and K-12 Principal Josh Meyer would create a Transition Advisory Team (TAT) comprised of students, high school students in particular, and school staff and parents.
Input from the TAT would inform decisions about identity, school colors and mascot, needs in classrooms and programs and activities for students.
Board members were pleased to see what was essentially a mandate from ELCS voters and a supermajority from WCS looking to build a new centralized school district.
They were also responsive to concerns and goals reflected by the exit poll.
That, they said, helps them take next steps to address questions.
"It's refreshing to see that, while many voters were parents, we have been able to get information out to the entire community," said ELCS board member Ashley Glanda.
"It's good to see (improved educational opportunity) is the main concern." she said.
"We've heard throughout the process that Dec. 4 could come and we could have an entirely different outcome," ELCS board member Danielle Bikowitz said.
Information from the surveys can help identify concerns, she said.
ELCS School Board Vice-President Karin DeMuro said she had no preconceived idea about how the vote would turn out in each district.
"And kudos to all of those in both communities for answering all kinds of questions," she said. "It takes a village."
"There is still a lot more opportunity for educating, we have to keep reaching out with positive energy."
Full results of the ELCS voters exit poll are available at the district's website.
Superintendents at Westport and ELCS will be working with Champlain Valley Educational Services Superintendent Dr. Mark C. Davey and officials from the New York State Department of Education to formalize the timeline ahead of the Dec. 4 vote.
Three items will be included on the ballot.
One is the exact merger question put to vote on Oct. 9.
Residents will also be asked whether a new combined school board would be comprised of 5, 7 or 9 members. The majority of votes cast for each number would determine the board size.
The ballot will have a third question asking voters to decide if new school board members serve for 3, 4 or 5-year terms.
The state Education Department sets the formal protocol and timeline for establishing a new school board if the referendum vote is passed.
Osborne said he and Meyer will work with the state agency to finalize that timeline this week.
Both school districts have set dates for informational merger forums the week before the final vote: Nov. 28 at ELCS and Nov. 29 at Westport.
Voting on Dec. 4 would be from 12 noon to 8 p.m. in both schools.
The state timetable requires a new school board election in January.
The newly elected members would work with Champlain Valley Educational Services Superintendent Davey to develop a merged school budget.
Existing school boards would remain in place through June 30 to complete operations of individual districts.
The new district would begin operations on July 1, 2019, with students attending a centralized school district for the 2019-20 school year.

TS: I'm curious about your own call to ministry. Did you always want to be a minister? How did you know this was God's call for your life?
Month: April 2015
The Stench of Resurrection
This week I caught up with a colleague over a cup of coffee. It was there she told the story of an Easter morning debacle unlike any I had ever heard: A rat had crawled into the oven and died sometime during lent. When the oven was turned on to heat up breakfast casseroles, the dead (and now burning) rat began to perfume the entire building with its awful stench. "I don't know if you've ever smelled anything like that, but I can't even describe it," she said. She went on to tell about how she and parishioners frantically opened windows, trying to rid the building of the gag-inducing smell. "Nothing says 'Christ is Risen' like the smell of burning rat flesh," we laughed. Hilarious. Awful. Gross. As I reflected on it later, though, it occurred to me how poignant and maybe even appropriate the whole story was — the smell of death lingering in the air on Easter morning.
Just before Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, Martha says to Jesus "Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead for four days." (John 11:39, NRSV)
There is a stench in the air on the day of resurrection. I don't think we talk about that enough, but we probably should.
On Easter, the alleluias come back and the lilies come out. The trumpets sound, and the bells are rung. But the poor are still hungry. The prisoners are still captive. The terminally ill are still dying. Writer Barbara Johnson said it this way: We are Easter people living in a Good Friday world*. We who proclaim the resurrection know that it is very good news. "Death has been swallowed up in victory," we proclaim, and we mean it. But this victory is not easily won and the death is not easily forgotten. We don't like to talk about it, but there's a stench, a smell, we can open the windows and bring in flowers, but it's still there.
After Lazarus is raised from the dead, John 11 tells us another interesting detail in verse forty four. He writes, "The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth and his face wrapped in a cloth." I remember a fairly disturbing coloring sheet from my childhood depicting this event. Lazarus, the walking mummy. The biblical narrative is matter-of-fact and doesn't linger in details. Jesus simply tells Mary and Martha "Unbind him, and let him go." What does it mean to unbind a newly resurrected body and let him go? What was it like for Mary and Martha to remove those strips of cloth from Lazarus's flesh? What did it smell like?
As we Easter people go about the work of cleaning up after the resurrection, we have a job to do: unbind him and let him go. We participate in the work of resurrection, and it is hard work. It isn't as clean as we have been led to believe, perhaps. There's a smell in our nostrils we can't quite get out.
Though the stench might seem to put a damper on the celebration, I have to wonder if it doesn't do us a favor. It reminds us that even after the resurrection, death is lingering in the air.
Original quote from "God's Tear Bottle," The Best Devotions of Barbara Johnson
Family Paschal Candle: Celebrating Easter as a Season, Not Just One Day #seamlessfaith
This morning 3 year old Clayton said, "Today is Easter Day again! It's Jesus Day Again!" If I were to guess, he was referring to the joy of yesterday and wanting to repeat it. Butterflies. Candy. Egg hunt. Friends.
I can't help but reflect on how profound that statement is, theologically. Easter is not just one day, it is a season. Resurrection, in the Christian year is celebrated from Easter day all the way to the day of Pentecost (this year on May 17.) Next year, I think I'll make a resurrection calendar with activities for each day, but here's a very simple idea: a Family Paschal Candle.
Family Paschal Candle Tradition:
Designed for All Ages
Time Investment: 15 minutes to make the candle + 1 minute each evening from Easter to Pentecost
- Thick pillar candle
- Glass jar or bowl
- Symbols of resurrection: butterflies, flowers, or even a peacock (yes, peacock! Peacocks are ancient symbols of eternal life!)
How To
- Place the candle in a jar or bowl and explain to the family that the candle is a special Easter (or Paschal) candle and that it will represent Jesus' resurrection from Easter day all the way until Pentecost (the day that the Holy Spirit comes to us.)
- Every night at dinner, place the Paschal candle in the center of the table and light it saying these words "We light the Easter candle today because we remember that Easter is not just a day, it's a whole season. Happy Easter!"
- Continue the practice until the Day of Pentecost, May 24 (don't worry, there are plenty of Pentecost practices for that day — stay tuned!)
- Read more about the history of the paschal candle here, if you are interested.
- I was inspired to adapt the Paschal candle activity to families from this article.
- Light the candle in the morning, at breakfast or at bedtime (any time that there is consistent connection with your family)
- Use a battery operated candle for toddler/baby houses
- Write your own words to say

Easter 2015 | Sunday: Mystery
Read 1 Corinthians 15:51–54.
Listen, I will tell you a mystery! (v. 51a)
When I talk to parents struggling to communicate the basics of faith to their children, I encourage them to learn to embrace a single word—mystery. So much about our faith is completely unknowable to human beings. How did God create the world out of nothing? Mystery. How can Jesus be fully God and fully divine at the same time? Mystery. How was Jesus raised from the dead? Mystery. Perhaps the most personal and profound mystery of all is this: What happens to us after we die? Paul explains it by saying we will not all die, but we will all be changed. This is the mystery.
On Easter morning all around the country, sermons are preached about new life, resurrection, and life after death. These sermons are inspiring and uplifting; they bring light to our darkness and hope to our despair, but for many, they are unsatisfying. I know this fact well even though I faithfully preach such a sermon every Easter. The reason these inspirational sermons are unsatisfying is that nobody—not me, not your pastor, not the Pope—nobody knows what happensafter we die.
Instead of trying to explain it, let's embrace the mystery of it and give thanks to God Lent is a journey, and so is this life. May we never forget that among the many gifts God has given us, we have been given one more—the gift of not knowing. There is freedom in the mystery.
Enjoy the journey.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, the Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer of us all. Amen.

Holy Week 2015 | Saturday: One Hundred Pounds
One Hundred Pounds
Read John 19:38–42.
They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths, according to the burial custom of the Jews. (v. 40)
Saturday is the day that Jesus is laid in the tomb. The Gospel of John tells us that Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea wrap Jesus' body with spices and aloe in strips of linen. When I read the story recently, there was a detail that stood out to me. Nicodemus brought one hundred pounds of myrrh and aloes to Jesus' grave to prepare him for burial. I don't know why, but I have always imagined Jesus' burial preparation as sort of ethereal and quiet. However, when I think about one hundred pounds of spices plus the linens, I realize that these two were carrying a lot of weight to the grave. The preparation surely must have been very physical with a lot of sweating, as they carried the spices and Jesus' body to the tomb.
We don't have many details about what might have been going through the men's minds as they performed this difficult and heartbreaking chore. I wonder if Nicodemus flashed back to the time when he asked Jesus what it took to inherit eternal life. Did he remember Jesus' words that he must be born again? Did the words take on new meaning as he wrapped Jesus' body in cloths and covered his skin in spices and ointment? My instinct tells me that whatever epiphany Nicodemus experienced about his spiritual journey with Jesus in the flesh was confirmed and made even more profound as he worked so intimately with Jesus in his death.
Facing death is a heavy burden. Confronting it is hard work. Still, we can learn lessons from it, right there in the tomb.
God of life and of death, thank you for being present through it all. Help me to experience your presence, even at the tomb. Amen.

Holy Week 2015 | Friday: The Worst Day in the Christian Year
The Worst Day in the Christian Year?
Read Luke 23:32–34.
Then Jesus said, "Father forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." (v. 34)
Though it is called Good Friday, today is, in many ways, the worst day in the Christian year. This is the day we remember everything about Jesus' awful arrest, torture, crucifixion, and death. Today is the day we remember that he was betrayed by every single one of his closest friends. Today is the day we remember that Jesus was stripped of all of his clothes, mocked, spit upon, made to carry his own cross, and beaten until he could barely walk. We remember today that Jesus was nailed to a cross, that his side was pierced with a spear. We remember that he suffered in great, unimaginable ways. There is nothing good about this day—or is there?
When we read this passage, we cannot avoid noticing the very first thing Jesus says as he embarks upon his terror-filled journey: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (v. 34).
When we read the gruesome and bloody details of what happened on that day, we are struck, time and again, with details of how violent the passage is. We must be very clear about one thing: this story is violent because people are violent. Contrast the actions of the soldiers and the crowd with the words of Jesus, which are words of forgiveness and grace: "They do not know what they are doing." Truer words were never spoken. The reason today is called Good Friday is that the forgiveness extended to us as human beings, undeserving as we are, is very good news.
God of forgiveness, thank you for the humbling example of grace and mercy that Jesus shows to his worst enemies. Help us to learn to be forgiving as well. Amen.

Holy Week 2015 | Thursday: Sacred Fellowship
Sacred Fellowship
Read Luke 22:7–23.
"I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." (v.15)
This day, Thursday, is the last time the disciples are all together before Jesus' crucifixion. It is the day that Jesus breaks bread, lifts up the cup, and says the familiar words remembered by Christians every time they also gather together with bread and wine: "Do this in remembrance of me." I imagine it was a warm and intimate time for the disciples as they gathered there. I imagine that it might have been like some of the best dinner parties I've attended with close friends. A meal shared with friends bonded by a common experience is a treasure. With close friends you can dive deep and cry together, or share belly laughs and inside jokes. I wonder if the disciples joked and laughed at the Last Supper. Surely it wasn't a serious affair the whole time, from start to finish, was it?
In the hindsight of what happened the very next day—Jesus' arrest, torture, and crucifixion—that meal becomes even more meaningful and significant. Let us take this lesson to heart the next time we are gathered around a holy table with our closest friends. Let us take a moment to remember that these moments of sharing and eating and enjoying one another are not always permanent. Let us remember to savor the good, close times with our loved ones, to treat them with respect and not tarnish them with our petty disagreements and worries.
God of sacred fellowship, thank you for the holy meals you have given to me. Help me to honor them and keep them holy. Amen.

Treasure on the Southern Moor; Chapter 8: Repairs and a Rest; Pgs. 214-215
. The sun was setting, and evening stars were leaping into the night sky. Captain Underwood went into his cabin for a moment, and when he came back, he carried his fipple flute in his hands, and the doctor with his cello and the chaplain his violin joined the captain upon the quarterdeck. The three of them played for the guests who had sat down to eat, and the tunes sang out upon the harbor and reached the ears of those on the fort of Mazagan.
. Dick, with his rusty red hair, was perched on the ratlines a few feet up from the main deck. "You'll be the one up there in Lee Watson's absence," Captain Underwood had told him that morning, and Dick was pleased with the new task, yet as they were in harbor, there was no need to be in either of the ship's tops. He had been up to the higher top for a little bit anyway as soon as the work had been completed for the day.
. "How large is Africa?" asked Adrianna as she looked out at the bastions of the fort on shore. "Will we be where we're going in a month?"
. "It's a lot longer than that," said Adrian. "We've only been on this journey about a month so far. It will take a few more than that to arrive."
. "Aye," said Dick with his thick Yorkshire accent he had obtained in his early years in the fishing vessels near Whitby town. "We have to cross many lands first, I've heard – desert shores and tropical forests and different islands along the way. I say, though," he ended, "it was rather a surprise having so many of our crew turn on us the way they did."
. "It was that," said Adrian.
. Yet as soon as the meal was served, no one thought much on Northrup or any of the prisoners (except the one guarding them), and the caught fowl and fish and cheese from Africa and other dishes consumed most of their thoughts. It was well dark, and silver beams of moonlight glinted upon the waters, though the moon was waning and there wasn't much of it. All the stars and constellations were out, and lanterns were lit throughout. The Portuguese left to their homes, filled from the meal and told to report back tomorrow.

SATELLINE-M3-TR8 is a UHF data transceiver module in a lightweight single PCB structure. It is designed to be integrated into a host device.
The radio module configuration can be done with the SATEL SL-commands or SATEL Configuration Manager -software.
SATELLINE-M3-TR8 is compatible with widely used SATELLINE-EASy 869 radio modems (see notes below).
The M3-TR8 is a flexible module that will fit into a variety of applications. It is Pan European approved (with default settings) and is allocated for narrowband telemetry alarm and data transfer applications. It has a choice of mechanical fastneing and antenna connectors and can be added to any EASy 869 system.
The module is manufactured with an option for 128 bit encryption for secure data transfer and is supplied in a PCB format with RF sheilding ready for installing into your system.
Please also read the following important notes:
It is the recommendation ERC/REC 70-03created by the radio communications committee of CEPT, which sets the technical requirements for the licence exempt use of short range devices on harmonised frequency bands around the Europe. CEPT members (spectrum authorities) have to either follow the recommendation in their frequency management or inform the CEPT radio communications committee about any restrictions. Those national restrictions are listed and attached to the ERC/REC 70-03 document.
License exempt 500 mW sub band
The sub band 869.400 - 869.650 MHz on the 869 MHz range is specified for
0.5 Werp (radiated power, in reference with a half wave dipole antenna, 0 dBd = 2.15 dBi). On this band, there are 10 x 25 kHz channels with centre frequencies
869.6375 MHz.
= acc. to formula ( 869.400 MHz + 25 kHz/2 ) + N x 25 kHz ; N=0…9
The official Satel recommendation is to always use the latest firmware version for the Satel radio modems. Please do find the latest firmware version for the SATELLINE EASy 869 and SATELLINE EASy-M3-TR1 869 products behind this link.
The latest ETSI specification regarding this matter is dated 5-2012. Since the earlier than 3.63.4 firmware versions for the SATELLINE EASy 869 and SATELLINE EASy TR1 doesn't have the automatic duty cycle limitation, the duty cycle limitation has been left to the responsibility of the connected hardware as an upper layer application task.
Defenition for the duty cycle:
For the purposes of the present document the duty cycle is defined as the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the maximum transmitter "on" time monitored over one hour, relative to a one hour period.
If the upper layer application is not capable of limiting the duty cycle to the ETSI specification requirements, the firmware of the SATELLINE EASy 869 and/or SATELLINE EASy-M3-TR1 869 products shall be updated to the required minimum level, version 3.63.4.
Please do note that after updating elder than 3.63.4 firmware version to the latest version, the Subband(frequency range) of the radio modem shall be selected by the user in order to take the automatic duty cycle limitation in use in the radio modem. This task can be executed either from the programming menu via terminal connection, via LCD user interface or via SL –commands with terminal connection.

Created and written by Benjamin J. Kreger and That's Not Current's Edward Ellsworth, with pencils and inks by Stefano Cardoselli, "Ides of March" is a one-shot prelude to Warrior Innkeeper Creative's new series, The Black Suit of Death.
Reimagining the Grim Reaper as a human in a black suit (of Death), "Ides of March" details the circumstances around the outfit's creation. Utopia IX is running out of energy. If they don't find a fresh power source soon, overpopulation will lead to the planet's downfall. Dr. Seitsan believes he has an answer to both problems. Effective or not, the Council of Nine is horrified. Banishing Seitsan and his suit to Earth, they're ready to condemn another planet if it means saving their own. And if that doesn't scream "utopian…"
"Ides of March"
Modern protagonist, Edd Grimes, will be introduced in the first issue ("Ide's" fourth edition includes a brief preview), and an account of the BSD's movements up to that point has been promised (bring on the re-explanations of historic catastrophes!).
The mysterious fate of Utopia IX set-up in this prelude, though, could easily warrant a revisit down the line. Coming across less like a perfect new land than the same old white, patriarchal status quo, it's believable that the Council of Nine should be living the good life as authority figures. We have to take their word for it, however, that their poverty-less, reality TV-ridden citizens are equally pleased.
The partnership between writing and art works wonderfully to carry readers along. Cardoselli's panels depict a utopia that avoids the tropes (nothing stark white, overly futuristic or nature-based) for a look that is almost medieval meets electricity, while Craig Gilliland's colors provide an added gravity to the high stakes moral questions being debated.
Highlighting the hypocrisy and classism the Council of Nine both profit from and act blind to (it's a utopia!), guards and other underling characters are portrayed having their own conversations while Dr. Seitsan and the Council are talking. A technique that adds layers and realism to scenes, here's hoping it become a trademark of the series going forward.
There's one timeline mix-up that temporarily takes you out of the story. During a fight before he is banished Dr. Seitsan questions one of the guards, "Etu Brute?" but later, when he is found on Earth, the time stamp makes it sound like Caesar's assassination hasn't happened yet. Other pop culture references made on Utopia IX are inside jokes (and very funny ones), that make sense without their source material but here, without the betrayal context of Caesar's assassination, one of the characters saying "Etu Brute?" doesn't. If the guard was coincidentally named Brutus…but right now it's a small detail that doesn't quite fit. The larger picture remains intact.
Fourth Edition Perks
Along with the new cover (Brett Weldele) and sneak peek at issue one (Dexter Wee and Bryan Arfel Magnaye take over as artist and colorist, respectfully), Tony Morgan's "Li'l BSD" offers a delightful dark twist on a childhood classic. "Black Suit of Death: Eden" changes format, with a first-person narrative by Dr. Seitsan of missing time from the comic. Whether you prefer "Eden's" "As the transfer pod heated up, I became aware of yet another flaw in my prototype. It would need a cooling system added…" or "Ide's" "I'm sweating my balls off in this," for conveying the suit's uncomfortableness, will depend on the reader (I lean towards the former), it's a strong showcase of range that also includes bonus tidbits on Utopia IX's technology and philosophy.
As a curiosity raiser for the first issue (be on the lookout for a release around Halloween), "Ides of March" delivers. Will be interesting to see how they incorporate the BSD into history and expand the Grim Reaper mythology in the future.

One in four teenagers have sent sexually explicit text messages and are undeterred by the possible consequences, a study has found.
A study of 500 teenagers aged between 15 and 18 years old founded that 26 per cent had "sexted", sending either a sexual message or naked photo, in the previous two months, and were not influenced by teachers or parents trying to stop them.
The teenagers revealed that they sent the messages for attention and as a form of flirting, to try and find a romantic partner. They also believed that sending so-called sexts would lower the chance of catching a sexually transmitted disease.
The study said consequences such as "getting a bad reputation or being blackmailed" did not seem to influence teenagers' actions.
The paper, published in the Behaviour and Information Technology journal, showed that friends and lovers were the main source of pressure on teenagers to send sexts.
The authors wrote: "According to our study, the belief that parents monitoring their children's mobile devices would impede adolescents from sexting, does not lead to a significant change in their intention to sext."
The paper also found that girls are less likely to want to sext than boys, but feel they're under more pressure to do so.
Adolescents said they would be less likely to sext if they did not trust recipient, or if they thought the other person would show the message to others.
The study comes after a survey by the NSPCC showed sexting is now common among adolescents, with 40 per cent of young people admitting to creating sexual images and videos of themselves.
Experts say the ever increasing number of young people owning a smartphone and better technology has contributed to the problem, and created a risk of young people being exploited and coerced into sending images.

COMMENTS AND REVIEWS REVIEWS FROM THE 2018 Early Access Release
"This game is absolutely beautiful!" – cmeert
"As a kid I watched the tv show and as a teen I read the books. Now my dream of a Redwall game has come true. " – jack_knight
"I have read nearly every Redwall Book, Its my favorite series of all time. The characters, plot, interaction and we can't forget the food… omg the food. Even though this game is in early development, it brings back memories of reading the books. It makes me feel like im in the story." – Jackfr0stx
"The Lost Legends of Redwall™" is inspired by the wildly popular characters created by Brian Jacques' in the "Redwall™" best-selling book series, published by and on behalf of Penguin Random House.
"The Lost Legends of Redwall™" is a proud collaboration between Redwall Abbey Company Ltd, Penguin Random House UK and Soma Games. Together we have nurtured a product that we believe captures the original heart of Brian Jacques' masterpiece. Between authentic musical scores, digitally sculpted art, an inspired narrative, and an original dynamic scent system "The Lost Legends of Redwall™" hopes to earn its place among the influential games of the new millennium.
We are proud to release the first episode of "The Scout", called "Lilygrove". We will be releasing further episodes of "The Scout" continuing Liam and Sophia's adventure in the coming months.
"The Scout" is the first episode of "The Lost Legends of Redwall™" and is best understood as a stealth-adventure game and takes place in the middle of winter.
"The Scout" tells the story of a mouse [ET1] who is driven to Redwall Abbey when sea rats raid the peaceful village of Lilygrove. Not too far from the storied walls of Redwall Abbey is a small village of mice and moles called Lilygrove. Our hero, Sophia, is the newest member of the Lilygrove Scout Corps, a group of woodland rangers tasked with the protection of the little village and trained in the ancient ways of woodcraft. But her graduation is cut short by the sudden raid from a band of sea rats led by the brutal wearet, Scumsnout. It will take all of her wit and guile to make it out alive!
The events of "The Scout" play out along the ancient, but now altered, course of the mighty River Moss. What was once a wide river is now the sunken bed of a seasonal creek that that runs east-west between Redwall Abbey and the Great South Stream that feeds the swamps south and east of Salamandastron. The player must find a way through the confusing snow-covered channel punctuated by occasional hedgerows, ancient stone walls, scattered shacks, and the few-and far-between hearths of friendly woodlanders. Along the way there is untold adventure to include (of course) feasting, fiddling, and even a few fisticuffs as we meet Valo Scrimpaw, the mysterious stoat who lives in the Winsome Wraith, Scumsnout the murderous weret and the mysterious, ghostly assistance when all seems lost.
"The Scout" debuts a dynamic scent system unlike any game before it. Rather than stagnant, pre-designed paths that imitate scent, particles read the wind and the world to simulate realistic currents and pools. Scents themselves consist of parts and patterns that can clue the observant player can use to discern the source.
Outside of scent "The Scout" is alive both friend and foe each sporting their own stories, values, and motives. It's up to the player to decide whether they will prioritize the mission and leave them to save themselves, or take the time to lend a helping paw.
As a new member of the Lilygrove Scout Corps, you may not be able to fight, but you're clever, fast, and capable of some amazing leaps and daring stunts. Shimmy along ledges, scramble sheer cliffs, even squeeze through impossibly small spaces. With courage, faith, and friends by your side, Lilygrove's fate rests in your paws.
- A deep, compelling storyline
- Original composed and performed soundtrack Voice overs from both new and established actors
- New dynamic scent system(Future updates) A uniquely inspired Food Crafting system with actual consequence (Future updates) Saved data that carries to other games in the series
(Possible future build) 2 Playable Characters

Former Cigna Corporation CIO & EVP Mike Woeller has made a career of managing large, technical organizations in complex marketplaces. For CIOs today, he sees the traditional management challenges of on-prem IT—control, cost management, and speed/agility—magnified by the vast cloud provider service offerings available.
In order to maintain control, Woeller says, IT organizations need to be able to dynamically assess their needs across capacity, and accurately size what they need to buy in the cloud. This means sizing workloads by capacity, comparing across cloud providers, provider instances, and their latest and most up-to-date offerings.
Containerization is also on the horizon—and has already arrived for some organizations—and will add even more complexity to the cloud management equation. Woeller insists organizations must leverage intelligent systems and services to get ahead of these public cloud challenges.

It wasn't enough that Minnesota Viking Chris Kluwe wrote him an obscenity-laden, chastising open letter back in September. Del. Emmett C. Burns is facing heat again for the letter he wrote to Ravens owner Steve Biscotti asking that Biscotti discourage Raven Brendon Ayanbadejo from being so vocal in his support for marriage equality. This time it's from the General Assembly's ethics committee, and though Burns hasn't not revealed the exact contents of the letter, we know it's over Burns's use of legislative stationery in his plea to silence Ayanbadejo.
For his part, Burns says that the admonishment is not justified, and that he is "not ashamed." Apparently, he has learned precious little from the public discussion surrounding his letter, wasting a few moments Tuesday to express his confusion that an NFL player could be supportive of gay rights when football is "the most masculine sport out there." I guess Burns considers large groups of men piling on top of each other a "masculine" activity so long as everyone's wearing a football uniform?

Family Member Disclosure: Yes, some of your presents are included in this post. Question is, who's?
So, we're well into December now. Christmas songs are on the radio and we're just a few weeks away from the big day. With that in mind, I thought I'd throw out another Christmassy post and give you all some ideas on Stocking Fillers.
There seems to be a trend of Bloggers and Youtubers doing guides for 'Stocking Fillers' but it turns out their version of a Stocking Filler is a Cartier ring and a Ferrari. No people, stocking fillers are those smaller, cheaper gifts that come in handy or are just a nice gesture to receive. Not some crazy extravagant gift costings hundreds! Disclosures aside, let's get into it.
Gift area number 1, practical gifts. You know you're getting older when you start to love a practical gift. Ya know, those gifts that really come in handy, the ones you'd get a lot of use from. Yeah, those kind.
So for this present recommendation, I've picked this pair of M&S cosy socks. Come on, they actually look like a stocking! These I picked up for under a fiver and they're perfect for that person who loves & lives in a cosy sock! Imagine: Sunday afternoons in front of the TV with a Bailey's in hand and these bad boys on your feet. Yep, that's what dreams are made of!
Moving into the product area everyone loves. The one's that provide entertainment. Now this really could be anything from games, to DVD's and CD's to books. What entertains one person, doesn't necessarily entertain the other.
I chose this CD. The deluxe edition of Paloma Faith's new album, The Architect. Any music lover would always love to receive the deluxe edition of an album, complete with a few extra songs. CD's do seem to be a bit of a dying trend but I still love them. It's a much more personal gift than an iTunes card.
On to my favourite gift area, the edible ones. Who doesn't love chocolate at Christmas. Well, lactose intolerant people probably don't.. but asides from them, who doesn't? Chocolates, sweets, even savoury things are always great to put into anyones stocking at Christmas. It's a great, cheap way of filling the gaps (literally)
I managed to grab this adorable bauble, filled with Hot Chocolate. I like to think of this as 2 gifts in 1. Not only do you get to drink some luxury Hot Chocolate from John Lewis, but you've also got a pretty lush Christmas tree decoration. See, 2 in 1 babehh!
And now onto the blissful, calming and relaxing gift section. Pampering. I'm pretty gutted that in my new house, we've only got a shower. No more bath bombs for me. However, for your friend or family member that does still have a bath tub and very much enjoys taking a bath, something like this would be perfect.
I kind of tortured myself and picked up my favourite ever bath bomb from Lush. The Comforter. I absolutely love this bath bomb, it's by far the best one they do and makes for the most lovely gift. It's so big that you can actually break it in half and make 2 baths out of it. I always look forward to gifting these at Christmas!
So there you have it, a quick, simple and easy guide to what you can get to fill your loved ones stocking this Christmas. If you have any other suggestions, then please leave a comment below as I'm kinda struggling for ideas right about now!

This video demonstrates how to make Game Day onion rings. For this first you need to take a Spanish onion and cut it into slices so that you can easily take out rings. Then take some flour and add corn meal into it. Then add salt, Kosher salt, cayenne powder and pepper. Mix them together and keep aside. In a dish take some butter milk and season it with salt and pepper. If you wish you can add some Tabasco or hot sauce into it. Take an onion ring and dip it in the flour mixture and shed out the extra flour. Likewise do for all rings. Then Dip each ring in the butter milk mixture and then again in the flour mixture. Then put the dipped rings in hot canola oil and fry till golden brown. The oil should be heated at 375 degrees. Take out the fried onion rings in a tissue paper to drain out excess oil. Serve them hot with tomato sauce or any other dip that you like.

Leaving For Work
Leaving for work I see my little cat
Streaked in morning light,
White, orange and yellow,
Sitting still with paws folded
On back of an easy chair
Watching circling sea gulls
Flown inland from the storm
As what's left of the rain
Drips curiously from the eaves.
A slight amusement.
The street scrubbed slick and clean
Refracts radiant points of light,
Myriad tiny suns
Spread across thin wet skin on black asphalt bone,
Black as bare tree trunks
Against cloud-white sky.
Most of the workers are gone from these streets,
I am late,
Most are gone
Yet I cannot help but linger
To taste this forbidden time,
Forbidden to me,
This absence of time.
On my way once more
The chilled air snaps
Little leaves falling as branches blow
The song of some little bird
In some neighboring tree
Singing quietly,
Calling me.
The sound of a passing car also calls.
It calls me as I stand
Transfixed by birdsong,
Beckoned by the world,
Called by my ambitions
And by no ambition at all.
There is so much to see here,
So much not to do,
For the mountains in this valley
Are streaked with virgin snow
Among silent solitary clouds
Frayed and twisted by wind.

You do not have to want
What the world wants,
Or be what the world wants you to be.
You can be happy without a fortune,
Content without fame.
You do not have to seek
What the world seeks,
Or give up what the world gives up.
You can be the first of a kind
And the last,
And never mind.

The Poet And The Ink
Did you ever stop and smell
The stink of ink
From your fountain pen
And think:
When, oh when
Will I write again?
Or did you dwell
On the smell
And think:
What the hell,
I'll have a drink.

Someone is telling my story,
Moving my life from chapter to chapter,
But my storyteller is raw and unskilled.
He labors on and on,
Weaving the most complex and intricate details
Through the most uneventful scenes.
You will wake up early this morning
And drive to work in heavy traffic.
Yes, you will drive to work every day,
Except for the weekends.
Many of us are displeased with our storytellers.
Will our plots ever take some meaningful shape?
I wonder.
These lives are poor fiction.
He wakes up early and takes a cold shower,
Trying to shake off the fatigue
From working late every day this week
In his colorless fluorescent cubicle.
He reties his tie for the third time,
Finds his car keys,
Grabs his half-empty cup of coffee
And begins the long, difficult drive to work.
He listens to the news
And thinks about the many phone calls he must make
When he gets to the office.
It's a puzzle to me
Why we put up with this at all.

Seidl doubts more manufacturers will enter F1
Andreas Seidl is not expecting another car manufacturer to enter Formula 1 any time soon.
In Austria recently, Bernie Ecclestone revealed that some years ago he negotiated unsuccessfully to bring a Volkswagen brand like Audi or Porsche to the grid.
Seidl, the former Porsche motor racing boss, has just entered F1, but only after joining McLaren as the British team's new team principal.
"I think it's very difficult for a manufacturer to come in now," he is quoted by Speed Week.
"So I think it makes sense to have stable regulations from 2021, because we can already see that it leads to parity among the power units."
Seidl thinks another way for F1 to attract more manufacturers is to stay the course with the 'hybrid' engine rules, in an auto industry that is increasingly looking to the future.
"Then we can see if there is a chance to attract a new manufacturer to Formula 1," he said.
"The automotive industry is currently undergoing a change with electrification. That's why I think we need to push the hybridisation with the next rule change.
"And in order for F1 to be attractive as a sport, we have to make sure that the entry costs are much lower than they are today.
"At the moment we have to be realistic. It is difficult to imagine that a new manufacturer will invest as much money as is currently needed to compete with the current participants.
"The investment you would have to make with the infrastructure and the budget is enormous," Seidl added.

I recieved a Ninja Coffee Bar to make this recipe. All opinions are my own.
Treat yourself to this delicious Salted Caramel Affogato … it's the perfect finish to a great meal!

This Salted Caramel Affogato combines espresso with one of my favorite after dinner treats: ice cream, and it's the perfect way to end any meal!
Have you ever tried affogato?

Salted Caramel Affogato
I was inspired to create this sweet treat after attending a fun event introducing the new Ninja Coffee Bar.
Look who I met there!
Sofia Vergara was just as sweet and funny as your might imagine!
Ninja partnered with Sofia, who's from Columbia and a major coffee aficionado, to help develop the Ninja Coffe Bar. They sent me a Coffee Bar to try out, and I've been obsessed ever since.
In addition to regular coffee and iced coffee, the Ninja Coffee Bar also makes Specialty Brew, a highly concentrated coffee that's similar to espresso. You can use it to create coffeehouse-style hot and cold layered beverages—right at home!
I used the Specialty Brew feature to create this Salted Caramel Affogato.
How to Make Salted Caramel Affogato
This delicious dessert could not be easier to create!
Simply make a batch of the Specialty Brew using the Ninja Coffee Bar (or substitute espresso or strong coffee), then mix it with salted caramel syrup.
Place a scoop if ice cream in a small coffee mug. Then pour the flavored coffee over vanilla ice cream. A sprinkle of salt is the perfect finishing touch and enhances the sweet-salty flavor.
This Salted Caramel Affogato recipe serves two … share it with someone special!
And by the way, if you like this recipe, then you're going to love my Australian Iced Coffee … it's made with ice cream, too!
Salted Caramel Affogato
- 1 generous tablespoon salted caramel syrup

- 2 scoops ice cream

- Add salted caramel syrup to a coffee cup.
- Place coffee cup on Ninja Coffee Bar. Use the ground coffee to prepare a cup of Specialty Brew Coffee ... follow the easy machine instructions. (You may also brew two cups of espresso or strong coffee.)

- Using two cups, place one scoop of ice cream in each cup.
- Pour flavored coffee over ice cream.
- Top each cup with a pinch of flake salt.
- Serve immediately with a spoon. Enjoy!
What is your favorite after dinner treat?

Strategic initiatives
Our Grants Committee has agreed to set aside up to 20% of our annual budget for initiatives which go beyond traditional grant-making. These are usually pieces of work initiated by the Trust which add value to our work and which respond to learning from our grant-making or to emerging areas of need.
