Online Blackjack Game Variants
One of the benefits of becoming a real money online Blackjack player as opposed to playing this popular card game in a physical land based casino is that you are going to come across many different variants at various online casinos and as such you are not going to be limited to playing often just a tiny collection of high house edge Blackjack games which many land based casinos tend to only offer.
However, even the most experienced Blackjack player can get slightly confused with the many different online versions of Blackjack that can be accessed online and as such in an attempt to allow us to give you a much better understanding of playing Blackjack at casinos online, we have put together a range of Blackjack game guides.
Below you will find an overview of some of the most played and also some often overlook Blackjack game variants available at many of our top rated casino sites, alongside each of them you will find a short overview and introduction to these games, and by clicking on the name you will find a much more in-depth review of each respective variant.

To make selecting a Blackjack game to play easier we have listed the following game overviews in order starting with the games offering the lowest house edge and then working our way down to the games with much less appealing house edges.
Should any of the following games appeal to you they can all be accessed and played at any of our top rated Microgaming Casinos. In fact many of the sites we have listed are giving away new player bonuses many of which can be used on Blackjack games, so make sure you take a look at some of our Microgaming casino reviews as one way to guarantee lots of playing value is to take as many sites up on their welcome bonuses as is possible.
Classic Blackjack – You will find that Microgaming casinos offer a single hand and multi hand variant of their low house edge Classic Blackjack game, and this game when played as a single hand game is going to be the one out of the entire suite of Blackjack game variants that boasts a very low house edge. Be aware that with more decks in the shoe the multi hand variant returns a much higher house edge to players and as such the multi hand game is much less attractive.
Vegas Strip Blackjack – The second lowest house edge Blackjack game variant that you can readily get stuck into playing at a Microgaming powered casino site is their Vegas Strip Blackjack game. This is a game on which the playing rules have been based on the most commonly found game playing rules found attached to games located in casinos on America's famous Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. This is a game we do know a lot of players enjoy playing and with a fair set of player rules you could have hours of fun playing it yourself.
Vegas Single Deck Blackjack – The Vegas Single deck Blackjack game that you are going to find readily on offer at all Microgaming powered casinos has one similarity to the above Vegas Strip variant and that is its house edge is 0.35%.
However, that is where the similarities end as the game is played to a slightly different set of playing rules and to be perfectly honest those rules are quite liberal making this game a very playable one and one you should have plenty of fun and winning opportunities playing.
Atlantic City Blackjack – You may have noticed that the number of land based casinos that have closed their doors and gone out of business recently is quite large, and whilst this is not in any way due to the generous nature of their Blackjack game variants, more due to market conditions, if you have played Blackjack in that part of the world and enjoyed it then you will find Microgaming powered casinos have their own variant of this game on offer.
Microgaming's Atlantic City Blackjack game is one of their regional variants of Blackjack that have been designed to replicate the rules and payouts attached to Blackjack games from many different parts of the world, and this variant is their fourth lowest house edge Blackjack game on offer.
European Blackjack Game Variants
When you play at a Microgaming powered site you are going to come across a quite interesting European Blackjack game, and what makes this game unique is that not only is it available as a standard game, but Microgaming have used this variant as the base game for several additional versions which offer additional side betting opportunities.
Whilst it is always worth noting and remembering that any side bet opportunity offered on a Blackjack game is going to come with an additional house edge on those side bets, the range and diversity of the actual payouts can make these games quite sought after by players who are looking for some very large winning payouts when playing Blackjack online.
We have therefore compiled a set of Blackjack game reviews on which you will find out what additional side betting opportunities are available on these following games, and remember that all of these games can be instantly accessible at any of our featured and rated Microgaming Casinos, of which we have many of reviewed throughout this website.
European Blackjack – The base game for many of Microgaming's more exotic types of Blackjack games is the European Blackjack game variant and with its house edge of 0.42% it is a fairly generous game and whilst not boasting the very lowest house edge it is a game than many players now and recognise and are happy to play.
Perfect Pairs Blackjack – The base game of the Perfect Pars Blackjack game is the European variant and when playing this variant you will be able to place a side bet that is going to start kicking out a range of bonus payouts when you are dealt out, as your first two cards a pair of suited or mixed suited cards, the bonus payouts for reference can be as high as 30 to 1, so it is a game that will appeal to a lot of Blackjack players.
High Streak Blackjack – Think of just how many Blackjack playing sessions you have played over the years and how many times have you been dealt more than one winning hand on the trot and add them up. Your answer will probably be of course way too many to remember, and one Blackjack game that is going to reward you with a bonus payout whenever you are dealt two or more winning hand consecutively when you have placed the optional side bet available on that game is the High Streak Blackjack game.
Hi Low 13 Blackjack – One additional European Blackjack game variant that offers players a range of different bonus betting opportunities is the Hi Low 13 Blackjack game, when you are playing this variant online you are tasked, if you choose to place the bonus bets, with having to guess what the value of your first two playing cards dealt out to you will be when added together. You can guess that they will be worth exactly 13 or higher than 13 or lower than 13 and if you guess correctly you will be awarded with a bonus payout, irrespective of whether you go on to win that hand or not.
Other Microgaming Blackjack Game Variants
Below is an overview of some of the other Blackjack games variants you will find on offer at Microgaming powered casinos, however it should be noted that these games all come with slightly higher house edges and as such should not be your preferred games of choice, for there are some much better paying variants available, namely all those listed above.
Spanish Blackjack – One game that is going to call for you to put into play quite a different basic strategy than all other Blackjack game variants is the Spanish Blackjack game, and this is due to the 10 cards (not the picture cards) having all been removed from the decks! To make up for there being no 10's in the deck a range of bonus payouts which require no additional bonus bet can be awarded to players playing this popular but very unusual Blackjack game variants online.
Vegas Downtown Blackjack – Another of Microgaming's popular regional variants of Blackjack is their Vegas Downtown Blackjack game, it is available as both a single hand and multi hand game and you can also play those versions as classic games or via their graphically enhanced Gold Series versions of the game.
Bonus Blackjack – The Bonus Blackjack game is another of Microgaming's very fun to play games on which you can place an optional side bet which sits alongside your base game stake. That bonus bet will allow you to have the chance of winning a range of bonus payouts if and when you are dealt out a range of different hands, those payouts could be small in size or quite large in size, so do take a look at our review of this game for more details.
Big Five Blackjack – The Big Five Blackjack game is an exclusive game found in Microgaming powered sites, it is not particularly a very low house edge game to play, but it is one that comes with a range of different playing rules one of which is the surrender option, so it may just appeal to many players out there looking for a game on which they can give up their hand in return for getting half of their stakes back when their hand has very little chance of winning.
Double Exposure Blackjack – This Blackjack game may appeal to players who like to know where they stand at all stages of the game, for when playing this variant the Dealer makes an unusual playing move, and that is to reveal his cards, so this does of course mean you know what hand he is holding and can make your playing and betting moves based on that knowledge.
Super Fun 21 Blackjack – One other Blackjack game variant that you may be interested in solely thanks to the fact that when playing it online you can win lots of bonus payouts without the need to place a bonus bet, it the "Super Fun 21" Blackjack game, there are a few compromises to be made when playing this game due to those bonus payouts and as such do take a look at our review of this game for more details of what those compromises are.
Triple 7's Blackjack – It should be noted that the Triple 7's Blackjack is not available to play at all Microgaming powered casino sites, and this game is very unique for it offers players the chance of winning a progressive jackpot in addition to a range of other bonus payouts. However, playing it will call for you to place an obligatory side bet wager onto the table which may prove expensive over time.

If it was basketball it would have been a double, double, but as it was William Leech finished first and second in both of Sunday's featured Quarter Horse races, the AQHRA Aged Stake and the Whoop-Up Classic Distance Series. The Aged Stake had a $15,100 purse and the Classic, $11,766.
In highly blustery conditions at the Rocky Mountain Turf Club, Leech saw his Free Thought, with Ricardo Moreno aboard, take the 660 yard Whoop-Up Classic. Minutes before he and owners Jim Plume and Charlie Weaselhead withstood a photo finish to lose to yet another Leech-trained horse, Northforkzoom.
"This was his (Northforkzoom's) day," exclaimed winning jockey Larris Allen. "He started to really move the last 100 yards. He gave me everything he's got. He gave me his all."
Allen said he let his horse have a breather and compose itself in the gate, and then "he gave me everything he had."
The winner is by Mezoomn out of Bitterroot Babe by El Mistral and was bred in Alberta by the owner and Tom Copithorne.
Leech trains Nothforkzoom, a Glenn Wills horse, and the second-place Mals First Down for Plume and Weaselhead. Then in the Classic he was the trainer for Charles Sojan's Free Thought as well as the runner-up Glittering Blue from Rigetti Farms Ltd.
Another trainer, Floyd Buffalo, was beaming as he left the winner's circle for the test barn with Swift Progress in tow after winning the Second Leg of the Starters Allowance.
"The jockey (Neville Stephenson) ran him exactly as we wanted, well maybe a little quicker than we thought. The horse ran the race as we thought he would though.
"Now we hope to go for the last leg of this marathon series (Sunday, Oct. 4)."
Sunday's second leg, with a purse of $5,100, covered a mile and an eighteenth.
You are never too old for horse racing, and every meet Stan Marks proves that maxim to be true.
Saturday he was at it again, winning the fourth race with Keepanosecrets, coming in on top of the field, guided by Trevor Simpson in the irons.
"That horse ran well," the 87-year-old trainer/owner stated in his usual understated manner. "He's been off a long time. He was in Edmonton this summer, and we didn't go into Grande Prairie, so today was a nice return for him.
"This was seven furlongs and he's more of a sprinter. Trevor is a good rider." And with that , Stan was off on his motorized cart ("my knees just don't take walking anymore") for a snack his wife was buying at the RMTC snack bar.
Friday, the first night racing card of the Fall Meet, saw Kevin Oberholtzer's Bringon The Wain top the field to pay 15.00, 6.70 and 4.80. The Wain is by Kafwain out of Greenapplegal by Distant View and was bred in California.
The eighth race Saturday was the Harold Silbernagel Memorial, in memory of a man who had a passion for horse racing, as an owner and as an executive. Harold, who passed away in August of 2014, served on Horse Racing Alberta's board of directors and was a key man in the formation of the Alberta Community Thoroughbred Racing Association. The Memorial purse was $5,000, with $1,000 added by the Silbernagel family.
The Memorial was taken by Allen Goodsell's Hope Faith Gold, ridden by Trevor Simpson. The horse, owned by Allen's wife and former jockey Teagan Oulton, is by Amaruk out of Software by Southern Halo and was bred in British Columbia.
This coming Sunday is a big day for - we won't say oldtimers - but rather, those with long memories.
"We expect about 250 people to be part of be the scene for this Community Circuit Reunion, with a banquet and dance in The Rocky Mountain Turf Club's 3rd floor dining room.
"We'll also have a Rocking Chair Race. We expect riders like Scott Sterr, Peter McAleney, Terry Ronson, Elijah Bourne, Howie Solberg, Tim Smith and others to be involved in the race," says Jody Nakamura, one of the organizers.
"We'll use older horses in the race and the purse is put up, half by ACTRA and also the RMTC. The horse post positions and their riders will be drawn for in the regular fashion, seeing that everything is fair."
The winner will receive an actual rocking chair.
She says moneys made from the race and other events will go to charity.
BEHIND THE STARTING GATE . . . In Friday's fourth race Sweet Annie paid a nice 19.60 to place and Mochadream paid 13.60 to show . . . La Pieta won and paid 9.00 . . . The bettors in the $1 Superfecta, for 5-1-6-2, didn't take these longshots into consideration and it meant the payout was a mere $3.95, which was all the 5-A-A-A would pay . . . In the opening race Saturday the Kaiani contingent of Chief Charlie Weaselhead and Jim Plume saw their horse, Go Jessin Beaver improve from 6th last time out to a close second . . . "He got bumped last time out, but he ran well today. I'm happy," said Jim . . .The wind Sunday was almost unbearable, not only for the riders, but older fans in particular . . . Former jockey and now trainer Randy Cunningham on the limp with torn knee ligaments in his right knee after a losing tussle with a horse in Grande Prairie . . . Next racing at the RMTC is this Friday, Saturday and Sunday , , . Post time Friday is 6 p.m., and 1:15 p.m. the other two days.

PUP wants deal on mining tax
The mining tax may not be killed off after the Palmer United Party, mirroring its horse-trading over the carbon tax, said it would not support the abolition without major concessions from the Abbott Government.
PUP's Senate leader Glenn Lazarus said yesterday unless measures worth $2.4 billion this financial year were kept, his party would not back axing the tax.
"The Palmer United Party will only support the abolition of the mining tax on the condition that three key low-income support measures are retained," he said.
The party is demanding that the Government keep the low- income superannuation contribution, the income support bonus and the SchoolKids bonus, which combined are worth $9 billion over the forward estimates.
Since it resolved to abolish the mining tax in 2010, the coalition has said any measure funded by the tax had to be axed.
It is understood the Government is standing by this position.
Without support from PUP's three senators and alliance member Ricky Muir from the Motoring Enthusiast Party, the Government will not have the numbers to axe the mining tax.
It also faces a bigger Budget blowout, with the Liberal Democrats' David Leyonhjelm proposing amendments to keep a string of business incentives tied to the tax, including the small business instant write-off.
If those proposals win the support of Labor, the Greens and PUP, the Government will face another $3.5 billion hit.
Mr Palmer said he expected the mining tax Bill would be broken up to enable his party to vote down the tax but keep the spending measures.
However, that will still leave the Government facing a major shortfall in its Budget.
WA Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Deidre Willmott said it was vital the mining tax be axed.
"We're very disappointed by this development," she said. "WA mining companies have been working on the basis that the mining tax would be repealed as soon as possible.
"This was a promise of the coalition parties and PUP, so we expect that promise to be honoured."
The Government struck a deal with PUP last night to keep the Government's contentious Future of Financial Advice regulations in place, conceding some minor paperwork changes.
It prompted Labor's Sam Dastyari to claim a "Liberal, National, PUP coalition" was in charge of the Upper House.
The Government is hoping there will be a vote today on abolishing the carbon tax.
Mr Palmer, who sat in the Senate during the vote on the financial advice laws, is facing criticism from other MPs about his treatment of Senate staff.
Independent Nick Xenophon labelled Mr Palmer a "coward" for comments he made about Senate clerk Rosemary Laing.
It was Dr Laing, a longstanding member of the Senate respected by both sides of politics, who raised concerns about the constitutionality of PUP amendments to the carbon tax.
Mr Palmer said Dr Laing should "get out of her job".
"She can't interfere and stop them from doing it - that's what it boils down to," Mr Palmer said.
"Otherwise, you get a bureaucrat being able to veto legislation and we don't want that. That's what happens in Stalinist Russia."

Undetectable = untransmittable is the message of a new UNAIDS Explainer. With 20 years of evidence demonstrating that HIV treatment is highly effective in reducing the transmission of HIV, the evidence is now clear that people living with HIV with an undetectable viral load cannot transmit HIV sexually.
Three large studies of sexual HIV transmission among thousands of couples, one partner of which was living with HIV and the other was not, were undertaken between 2007 and 2016. In those studies, there was not a single case of sexual transmission of HIV from a virally suppressed person living with HIV to their HIV-negative partner. The Explainer cautions, however, that a person can only know whether he or she is virally suppressed by taking a viral load test.
For many people living with HIV, the news that they can no longer transmit HIV sexually is life-changing. In addition to being able to choose to have sex without a condom, many people living with HIV who are virally suppressed feel liberated from the stigma associated with living with the virus. The awareness that they can no longer transmit HIV sexually can provide people living with HIV with a strong sense of being agents of prevention in their approach to new or existing relationships.
The new UNAIDS Explainer series aims to inform readers about key or emerging issues in the AIDS response. With recommendations for programme managers and advice for national responses, they are short but informative snapshots of the current knowledge about an area of the AIDS response.

Check this
It sounds like most of your personal settings vanaished! These are all stored under for example C:\documents and Settings\Kiltie.
One option is a profile corruption, check if under C:\documents and Settings you can find a directory called something like Kiltie.ComputerName or Kiltie.DomainName and if the "original" directory stille exists. If so, you should be able to copy your shortcuts, QL and so on from there to the new profile.
To me it sounds as if
your desktop folder was removed, deleted, or corrupted.
You can try to re-create it by blowing away the ntuser.dat file (or renaming it) while logged on as an administrator.
then log back in as the user and it should re-create the profile, but not with all of the other icons (installed apps), as those would need to be re-added.
Or, look in the docs and settings folder for your logon being used, and look in that folder for 'desktop'
are your icons in there?
what about in a different folder?
Also, could you have used the hide desktop icons option?
Ty for ideas
[ side note, may not be related, but the affected machine has just lost all network connectivity, Windows complains a cable is unplugged, silly M$, checked that, replaced cable, etc etc, that ain't the problem, looks like Windows is the problem to me]
Ok, I get it
This is a common profile thing that happens when the ntuser file is altered. Since it has the same name but a different SID (or whatever its called these days), it will create a new profile called username.computername or username.domainname depending on the domain association.
you can rename the old folder to something else, and then try it again. I have not tested this scenario, but it may just work.
As far as the profile and icons, that is just the way it goes. To add icons to 'all users\desktop' will add them to all new users as well. But you will need to change the default appearance to be 'classic' instead of 'XP' style.
The good news. Any programs installed, should work fine. They may need to have a small portion re-installed 9for the other user) but usually disks are not needed.
To return it to the point that it was before the NTuser.dat file was renamed, replace the file to its original name and **** away the second profile. Then you should be able to log back on with the icons messed up still.
Now, for the messed up icons. Have you tried start -- run -- sfc.exe /scannow ? It might be a file that was changed by a program (or quarantine).
As of last night, this is sounding familiar.....
(Kiltie, just remember I'm not a techie!)
Have no idea of solutions, but I think I may have an inkling on the source of the problem.
Up until Monday, I was using PC-Cillin as well. The version I had is now no longer supported, so I ditched the program, and put on MacAfee instead.
Monday night I started losing icons - although the two folders I have constantly on my desktop as shortcuts stayed put, I lost the recycling bin, Adobe reader shortcut, 2 install shortcuts for programs.
Last night I had only the 2 aforesaid folders left on the desktop. After a while, I miraculously had the MS Outlook shortcut put itself on there also; why, I have no idea - I don't use Outlook or Express at all on my lappie.
Like I said, no solutions as yet, but I think we now have a clearer idea as to the possible culprit.
If it starts on its' peculiarities again tonite, I'll let you know.....
getting URGENT now
Not in the sense of hours, but looks like a total conversion to Linux this weekend, maybe, so we are looking at urgent=days.
XP sux anyway, I will keep one of my machines in the network dual boot 98SE/XP Pro so to be able to help users, another 89SE/2k Pro for those, I have spares, but all low grade stuff, "will do in a pinch" is the phrase that comes to mind.
However, I am still fighting, doing what I do best.
Got a sort of connectivity back (ie lights light up), but can't get the network, however that may need another thread.
Back to this thread:
Whenever I boot, XP creates a new user profile, username.computername in Desktop and Settings.
I don't have that user (Home network, single user)
So I reboot to 98SE, delete it, try XP again.
same thing, username.computername is created.
so..... (scratching my head) I rename the computer, reboot to 98SE, delete the dam thing again, reboot to XP
There is a new username.newcomputername profile appearing.
How the **** do I stop this MONSTER, and tell it what to do?
I.E. How to get it to obey me, instead of doing it's own thing without permission and OVERRIDING MY INSTRUCTIONS?
Linux sure looks sweet now, only problem is it's ahead of schedule and I haven't chosen one yet.
Puppy, Knoppix and Ubuntu are favourites.....
A partial solution
I have managed to get the XP Desktop back now.
But I am still missing many of my program links.
The programs are there, I can access them manually. But this is a real mystery. That's what bugs me. I want to know what happened and why.
As I said before, it is no biggie, really, this machine is about to be switched to Linux anyway, I am fed up with Windows.
I'll keep a couple of machines with XP/2K and 98SE to support users I need to help with.
Thanks to W2k for your advice, wasn't spot on, but was the closest help given.
Any more comments would be appreciated, as this is something I'd still like to solve.
Hey, You are back!
Had a good vacation?
I still think that the icons were moved to another folder accidentally. Sometimes mice will highlight lots of crap.
Another thing would be about the other desktop profiles. Were any of them affected (all users, admin, etc.. And where the shortcuts resided (all users, etc.).
If a shortcut resides in 'all users' desktop folder, it will appear for all users.
I once had a bunch of 'crazy' things happen on a system, and then I blew away the temp files, funny though, it didnt **** them away, it integrated them all into 1 big temp file under the c:\Windows directory. Search the system for *.tmp files and delete them.
(sorry if I am being too basic, I work with people that need help turning on a computer everyday, and cannot follow instructions like 'click on this').
No vacation
I was very ill for about 10 days (wish it was a vacation, maybe in California where my fiancee is)
I am stuck alone here in Scotland.
I got XPs desktop back, but the other problems remain.
No programs apparently installed, but they are still there in Program Files folder.
I am gradually reinstalling them, as needed, even though I don't need to, just so they show up again on the start menu.
They even disappeared from add/remove programs menu.
What gets me is the puzzle. What happened?
It's not the desktop shortcuts that bother me, that's no problem really, but why everything disappeared.
I don't like unsolved mysteries like this, especially as I am supposed to be a techie expert ;-)
I know what you mean about the simple users, I have written many articles explaining for rank beginners basic stuff, like what a desktop is, how to cut and paste, what the clipboard is, how to drag and drop, even how to reboot!!!!
(not kidding there - some just switched their machines off by the power switch)
Thanks for your help W2K, I am still curious as to what happened, mainly, but this whole thing is driving me to a permanent Linux solution ahead of schedule.
I was hoping to wait until my replacement machines arrived early next year. (I may still hang on a bit, as I have 98SE and 2K Pro systems as backup and a semi working XP Pro system)
Thank God I created a dual boot system on all of my computers on my home network, that way I can easily save data. (although I can use LiveCD disks in an emergency)
EDIT: I forgot to give Puppy Linux a plug, as one of the smallest yet most powerful distros (50-60MB) it is well worth a mention!!!!
I have over a dozen versions of it. Tigs will add her endorsement no doubt.
It has saved my bacon many times
Even add/remove programs?
It sounds like the backup registry key was needed to fix a reg boot problem. If so, it would have made everything the same as right after the OS was first installed (SW key).
The problem that I have is that XP (last I knew), did not auto replace with these backup keys, it is a manual process (unless SP2 changed that, or an update).
That is an odd scenario though.

With more and more people concerned about physical appearance, teeth whitening is becoming a regular beauty ritual for some people. However, there are some precautions that need to be taken and things to consider before you decide which of the many options is the best for you. This article provides you with some useful advice.
If you want your teeth whitening done fast, go to a professional teeth whitening service. To get the best results and the whitest smile, a few visits are normally necessary. The techniques and products that dentists can use for whitening are more powerful than anything available to the public in the drugstore.
This solution does not harm your teeth as badly as other whitening strips that are out there. While showering, simply swish hydrogen peroxide about in your mouth, but do not swallow it. Do this between one and two times every week.
Laser treatments performed in your dentist's office will whiten your teeth wonderfully. This is probably the quickest way to have your teeth as close to their original whiteness as possible. After a bleaching agent is applied to the teeth, a laser is used to activate the whitening properties. This process lightens your teeth by about five or six times with the first application.
If you have cavities or gum disease that needs to be treated, you need to talk to your dentist before you whiten your teeth. You have to take extra precautions when you whiten your teeth. Your dental professional can give you specific instructions on how you should whiten your teeth, tell you which techniques to use, and let you know if it is something you should go through with.
Stop smoking. Your teeth are exposed to smoke and nicotine when you smoke, and this has been proven to cause tooth discoloration.
Despite the advertising, there is really no difference between whitening toothpastes and regular toothpastes. There is really no need to spend extra money on a product that is not going to make much of a difference in the whiteness of your teeth. You'll just throw valuable money away.
If your teeth appear to be gray, using whitening products probably will not work the way you hope. They are most effective when working on teeth that are stained yellow or brown. Teeth with severe stains may require multiple treatments to obtain the wanted results.
Strawberries are a great natural method of teeth whitening! Eating strawberries has long been known to have a whitening effect on teeth. Rub a strawberry slice on teeth, or crush it up and use as a paste. To achieve the best results, do not rinse the strawberry juice off your teeth until five minutes have passed.
Fruits and veggies that have a lot of fiber will give your teeth a natural scrubbing. Raw carrots, cucumber and apples work great for instance. Eating any of these or related foods raw and chewing them thoroughly gives them time to do their magic in your mouth. Move the food around your mouth as you chew to cover as much area as possible.
Clearly, whitening your teeth can be accomplished in a number of effective ways. Proper oral hygiene is essential, but even properly cared-for teeth can become stained over the years. Use these tips to whiten your teeth safely so that you may smile confidently.

21.05.11 Killarney National Park wins 2011 Bioblitz some 1088 different species identified – Deenihan
Jimmy Deenihan TD Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht congratulated Killarney National Park on their success in the 2011 Bioblitz which took place over 24 hours in 5 different locations throughout Ireland. Some 300 scientists and many more volunteers worked extremely hard to identify and record as many different wildlife species as they could over a 24 hour period.
Congratulating everyone on their combined effort Jimmy Deenihan TD Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht said: "The effort which was put in by all the scientists and volunteers whom I met yesterday, Friday, when I launched the 24 hour Bio blitz in Killarney National Park certainly paid off handsomely today. With an increase from 542 identified species in 2010 to a staggering 1088 identified this year. The Raven Nature Wood Reserve came second with an equally impressive count of over 800 varieties recorded".
Minister Deenihan also acknowledged the work of Dr. Liam Lysaght and his colleagues at the National Biodiversity Data Centre. " this event could not have taken place without the team of experts who provided the necessary skills to manage a project of this scale. This is only the second year that this initiative has taken place and I think that it certainly will catch the imagination of more and more people, particularly families who want to spend time out and about enjoying the beautiful countryside which we all too often can take for granted".

Susie Schofield writes: At FJ Wilson Talent Services (FJWTS) we work closely with professional membership organisations, awarding bodies, and learning providers. In the process, we have been fortunate to gain a number of insights into talent acquisition and management in these sectors.
In the fourth part of the series, we interview Adam Harper, Director of Strategy and Professional Standards, and Adam Williamson, Head of Professional Standards about their experience of being an FJWTS client.
The hiring manager: Adam Harper, Director of Strategy and Professional Standards, AAT
Experience of FJWTS
Adam has used FJWTS to recruit staff for several years, using both FJWTS's head-hunting service for senior management positions as well the standard recruitment service for more junior ones.
His first contact with FJWTS was via an hour-long telephone interview with Fiona [Wilson] which he found 'massively reassuring'.
Adam went away 'very confident that Fiona understood what knowledge, skills and expertise I was looking for'. They also spent time considering the cultural and team aspects of AAT which needed to be considered in appointing members of staff.
For a senior management position, FJWTS conducted a candidate-search and Adam was given regular updates. FJWTS met each of the candidates to discuss the role. 'Ultimately, a long list was presented' and candidates were listed on a grid on which they were graded for each criterion of the person specification.
Whilst FJWTS and Adam's views 'largely' agreed, there were a couple of candidates who Adam would not have selected from their written application but FJWTS could justify because the team had met the candidate concerned. Adam said 'it was a completely collaborative process'.
FJWTS nominated 'a great cross-section of candidates'. 'Every candidate presented well' and Adam was impressed that FJWTS gave him feedback from the candidates on how the process went for them.
How does FJWTS compare with other agencies?
Adam has used recruitment agencies before and, in terms of how his experience of other agencies compared with FJWTS, Adam said 'I would go as far to say the level of service offered by FJWTS is considerably enhanced', adding, 'it was significantly better than anything I'd experienced before'.
Adam said that the positive experience of using FJWTS 'reflects well on us as an organisation – if the candidates have had a similarly positive experience it bodes well for all parties. As an employer you want your organisation to be right for the candidate's career.'
Would Adam recommend FJWTS?
'Absolutely… Ultimately, the experience was extremely positive.' Adam wishes to reinforce that 'I can't have anticipated [the recruitment] to have worked as well as it did… I'm really happy.' Working with FJWTS was 'unlike any recruitment process exercise' Adam has encountered. 'Fiona gave me a lot of confidence in that she understood what it was I was looking for. There was no disconnect'.
All the candidates presented by FJWTS were 'clearly very strong candidates who met expectations and exceeded them'.
The candidate: Adam Williamson, now Head of Professional Standards, AAT
Adam Williamson was recruited to AAT by FJWTS. He had spent 17 years at RIBA, latterly as its Head of Professional Standards.
Adam recommended that his director at RIBA invite FJWTS to recruit his replacement, which she did. FJWTS were successful in recruiting his replacement.
Experience of FJWTS
Whilst Adam was not actively seeking a new job, he had been keeping an eye out for any interesting opportunities. Fiona first contacted Adam via LinkedIn about the role at AAT and sent him the job description for him to consider.
Fiona 'strikes you as someone who knows absolutely what she is talking about'. Adam added that it was 'very clear Fiona understood the organisation and what they were looking for'. Fiona and he also had a Skype conversation to go into more detail about the person specification of the job.
Dilly [Clack] then gave him a telephone interview and he found out a few days later that he had been shortlisted for a face-to-face interview. During this time, FJWTS were 'excellent in keeping me informed and they responded very quickly' to any queries.
Adam received 'lots of offers of assistance' prior to the interview and he spoke to Fiona 'to go over stuff and to focus on the main points of what [AAT] were looking for'. This 'was really helpful' and it helped 'clarify the issues in mind'. After the interview, Adam spoke to Fiona for a debrief.
Adam quickly found out that he had reached the second round of interviews.
At this point Fiona gave Adam 'detailed feedback' on his interview performance from AAT which was, albeit 'unusual,' it was 'hugely helpful and positive'. This allowed him to identify the points they were most interested in and to concentrate on these at the second interview. This gave Adam 'a positive state of mind'.
After his second interview, Adam had a debrief with Fiona on how it went. He found out from Dilly the next day that he had been successful.
Would you recommend FJWTS?
Adam 'found FJWTS incredibly professional – they take the time to find suitable candidates and they do their homework. My experience is that recruiters put forward whoever is on the list, no matter what. This is a specialist area, so having this piece of work probably meant that FJWTS had similar candidates and this would save RIBA time'.
Adam 'was very impressed with the way FJWTS went about things' and he felt that FJWTS 'would probably bring in someone with experience and he could leave his job in safe hands'.
We asked Adam how he persuaded RIBA to hire FJWTS and he told us that 'my director was absolutely keen and asked to be put in touch with Fiona. My director realised this is quite a specialist area and that if there is expertise out there we should utilise it'. The position went out to a couple of recruiters. Adam said that 'my director was very impressed by FJWTS and less impressed by the others'. And FJWTS 'definitely got decent candidates in'.
Adam identified two key differences with FJWTS as a recruiter:
- 'FJWTS have the knowledge of what they were looking for and who they were working with from an early stage. There were no surprises, everything that Fiona and Dilly said was true.'
- 'The personal nature of the interaction. Very supportive. Very professional but very friendly. Always supportive but without being pushy. They were always quick to respond to queries.'

My Blog
Posts for: February, 2019
Periodontal (gum) disease is as common as it is destructive. Almost half of all adults 30 and older have some form—and those numbers increase to nearly three-quarters by age 65.
Fortunately, we have effective ways to treat this bacterial infection, especially if we catch it early. By thoroughly removing all plaque, the disease-causing, bacterial biofilm that accumulates on tooth surfaces, we can stop the infection and help the gums return to normal.
Unfortunately, though, you're at a greater risk for a repeat infection if you've already had gum disease. To lower your chances of future occurrences, we'll need to take your regular dental exams and cleanings to another level.
Although everyone benefits from routine dental care, if you've had gum disease you may see these and other changes in your normal dental visits.
More frequent visits. For most people, the frequency norm between dental cleanings and exams is about six months. But we may recommend more visits for you as a former gum disease patient: depending on the advancement of your disease, we might see you every three months once you've completed your initial treatment, and if your treatment required a periodontist, we may alternate maintenance appointments every three months.
Other treatments and medications. To control any increases in disease-causing bacteria, dentists may prescribe on-going medications or anti-bacterial applications. If you're on medication, we'll use your regular dental visits to monitor how well they're doing and modify your prescriptions as needed.
Long-term planning. Both dentist and patient must keep an eye out for the ongoing threat of another gum infection. It's helpful then to develop a plan for maintaining periodontal health and then revisiting and updating that plan as necessary. It may also be beneficial to perform certain procedures on the teeth and gums to make it easier to keep them clean in the future.
While everyone should take their oral health seriously, there's even greater reason to increase your vigilance if you've already had gum disease. With a little extra care, you can greatly reduce your chances of another bout with this destructive and aggressive disease.
If you would like more information on preventing recurring gum disease, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Periodontal Cleanings."
When your mouth is dry, you know it: that sticky, uncomfortable feeling when you first wake up or when you're thirsty. Fortunately, it usually goes away after you eat or drink. But what if your mouth felt like that all the time? Then, it's no longer an irritation—chronic dry mouth could also increase your risk of dental disease.
Chronic dry mouth occurs because of inadequate saliva flow. Saliva plays an important role in preventing dental disease because it neutralizes acid, which can cause the mineral content in tooth enamel to break down and lead to tooth decay. The mouth becomes more acidic right after eating, but saliva can restore its normal pH levels in about an hour—as well as some of the enamel's lost mineral content. Without saliva, your tooth enamel is at greater risk from acid.
While a number of things can potentially interfere with normal saliva production, medication is the most common. More than 500 prescription drugs, including many antihistamines, diuretics or antidepressants, can cause dry mouth. Cancer radiation or chemotherapy treatment and certain metabolic conditions like diabetes or Parkinson's disease can also increase symptoms.
If you are experiencing unusual dry mouth symptoms, see your dentist first for a full examination. Your dentist can measure your saliva flow, check your prescriptions and medical history, and examine your salivary glands for abnormalities. With this more accurate picture of your condition, they can help direct you to the most effective remedies and treatments for the cause.
If medication is the problem, you can talk to your doctor about alternative prescriptions that have a lesser effect on saliva flow. You can also drink more water before and after taking oral medication and throughout the day to help lubricate your mouth. Chewing gums or mints with xylitol, a natural alcohol sugar, can also help: xylitol helps reduce the mouth's bacterial levels, as well as stimulate saliva flow.
Easing your dry mouth symptoms can make your life more pleasant. More importantly, it can reduce your risk of future dental problems caused by a lack of saliva.
If you would like more information on dealing with chronic dry mouth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Dry Mouth: Learn about the Causes and treatment of this Common Problem."
The braces are finally off! But to keep your new, straighter smile you'll need to wear a retainer for some time. That's because the same structural mechanism used to move your teeth could undo what we've just accomplished.
That mechanism resides in an elastic tissue called the periodontal ligament that lies between the teeth and the bone and attaches to both with tiny fibers. While the ligament holds the teeth securely in place, it also allows for slight movement in response to bite changes. Braces "pull" the teeth in the desired new direction, and the ligament responds.
But with that pressure gone after the braces' removal, a kind of "muscle memory" can set in that moves the teeth back towards their original positions. A retainer, a dental appliance worn on the teeth, exerts just enough pressure to "retain" or keep the teeth from regressing.
Retainers are effective, but the most common type has a feature that poses potential problems: it can be removed by the wearer. Because of this, less disciplined patients might be tempted not to wear their retainer as directed. There's also a higher risk of losing one and incurring additional cost to replace it.
But there is another type, the bonded retainer, which stays permanently in the mouth until removed by an orthodontist. It's composed of a thin piece of metal that's firmly attached to the back of the teeth with dental composite material. Not only does a bonded retainer solve the problems mentioned before, it also can't be seen from the outside like a removable retainer.
A bonded retainer does have one disadvantage: because it can't be removed, it can obstruct the teeth during brushing and flossing and require more effort. You won't have as much difficulty with a removable retainer keeping teeth and gums clean. You can overcome this disadvantage, though, with specialized tools like a water flosser or a floss threader to make hygiene easier.
To choose which type of retainer is best for you or your family member, have a talk with your orthodontist. And if you choose a bonded retainer and later have it removed, be sure to switch immediately to a removable one if your orthodontist advises. With either retainer, you'll be able to preserve that hard-earned smile for years to come.
If you would like more information on bonded retainers, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Bonded Retainers: What are the Pros and Cons."

If you still can't decide, choose the product that is easiest to use on a day-to-day basis, the product that is built on top of the most promising technology, or the product that offers the strongest reporting. Otherwise, flip a coin. We believe that the actual price of the software is not really relevant (within 200% or so). The real cost of accounting software is the time required to get it up and going and the time required each day to implement manual work-around procedures to compensate for missing features and reports.

HPW worked with Blooms on designs for their flagship £5m garden centre at Haresfield in Gloucestershire. Because of the high quantity of water required by the garden centre on a daily basis, HPW included a comprehensive water management and flood alleviation system within the plans for the 7 acre site. The £150,000 scheme included a Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS), grey water recycling, rainwater harvesting and flood risk management.
In 2007, Gloucestershire endured its worst flooding on record. Much of the country was under water and even the M5 next to Blooms flooded, but the garden centre itself avoided the crisis thanks to the canal and catchment lagoon that HPW had had installed along the side of the building as part of the water conservation measures.
In the years since the garden centre opened, it is estimated that tens of thousands of gallons of water have been re-used at Blooms, reducing the company's water bill by approximately 50%.

The new Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, known as CDM 2015, came into force on 6 April 2015. We've created a list of key resources to help prepare civil engineers and the construction industry at large for these changes.
The new CDM regulations carry over many key aspects from previous versions, but there are also some fundamental updates. The biggest changes are the replacement of CDM co-ordinators by "principal designers", full inclusion of domestic projects and overall attempt to reduce bureaucracy and communicate the key roles and responsibilities in a clearer manner. The ICE Position Statement and FAQ's have been prepared by The Health & Safety Expert Panel as a key resource to members.
Organisations will have 6 months to become compliant with the new CDM regulations and ICE has put together various resources to help you with the transition.
On 13 April 2015 the Health & Safety Expert Panel provided an invaluable overview of the important changes to the regulations The 10 Things You Need to Know about CDM 2015 webinar is designed to assist with your progress towards compliance.
On 21 April, ICE Health and Safety Expert Panel member David Oloke explained in the Health and Safety Register and CDM 2015 webinar how joining the register can prove your skills, knowledge and experience to meet the CDM requirements.
On 30 June 2015 the second ICE Health and Safety conference will draw together the key safety lessons and encourage safe practice throughout the industry.
Find out more about ICE Health and Safety 2015
ICE Training has launched a new suite of training programmes that focus specifically on the new regulations, their specifications, and how to implement them across industry. The programmes have been peer reviewed by the ICE Health and Safety panel. For further details please follow the links below:

The largest source of CO2 emissions come from the operation of test trains. Additional kilometres are travelled through repeat journeys. Avoidance of repeat journeys will directly entail a lower CO2 footprint for Eurailscout.
Eurailscout has set itself the aim of achieving 3% fewer repeat journeys. Repeat journeys must be made, since the test route actually travelled during the test process does not correspond to the test route required. The causes of this are as follows:
To counteract these problems, various actions have been undertaken:

Rebuffed in Bismarck, Thunberg mural likely headed to Fargo
Published: Feb. 13, 2020 at 8:26 PM CST
A former city commissioner is spearheading plans to bring a mural honoring Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg to Fargo, after an arrangement by the artist to put the outdoor image in his hometown of Bismarck received an unfavorable reception.
Shane Balkowitsch had planned to put a 7-foot-tall (2.1-meter tall) mural of Thunberg on the brick exterior wall of a Bismarck bakery, but scrapped that idea after social media threats of boycotts and possible vandalism.
Former commissioner Mike Williams says he has received permission from a downtown Fargo business owner to put the mural in an alley where other artwork is on display.

Australia is rather dry in certain regions for an island nation. We have one rainy season a year, and even though we're surrounded by the ocean, a lot of our local water sources are salty lakes. Our municipal water systems often have a hard time keeping up, so during the three months of torrential downpours, and it's a good idea to harvest as much rainwater as possible.
The downside of having just one season of annual heavy precipitation is the volumes can become unmanageable. Big buildings like apartments and office blocks have massive roofs with immense surface areas. As the rain lands on those roofs, it can accumulate and seep into the roofing structure, causing crumbling, leaks, and other forms of damage.
Even if the roof is slanted and has a properly aligned gutter system, the amount of water may be too much for the roof drainage to contain. This is where Onsite Detention tanks (OSDs) come in. They are specially made storm-water systems that can collect and hold large amounts of water. This water is then gradually released into the municipal system.
By controlling the pace of water flow, you can prevent property damage. The measured flow avoids overwhelming the local drainage system. Usually, OSDs are coupled with Detention Control Pits (DCPs). These underground water tanks increase the capacity of the OSD by offering more storage space.
Of course, the storm-water doesn't necessarily have to be discarded. It can be channelled into an under deck rainwater tank or even a regular water tank on the surface. These tanks prevent wastage while still protecting the local water disposal mechanisms. In many regions, you can't put up a large building without council-approved OSDs and DCPs.
Detention tanks are best built onsite because they are too bulky and cumbersome to transport to your construction venue. A professional hydraulic engineer will inspect your site and draft a design for the tank. This draft will generally be interpreted and executed by a local plumber. Here at Sydney Water Tanks, we have a specialised team to handle it.
Our plumbers will inspect your technical drawings and implement them onsite. We can install your entire storm-water system, including inlets, outlets, orifice plates, rungs, pits, sumps, screes, and overflows. If something goes wrong with the system, later on, we are available for repair and maintenance at friendly prices.
If you already have some kind of drainage system in place, we can still help. We can evaluate your site based on location and water conditions. We can then adapt your current system to develop a more effective storm-water mechanism. Before we arrive, look at the OSD drawings and excavate your selected site as shown in the design plans.
You OSD drainage system can be constructed using in ground water tanks, or you can choose to have tanks that are only partly underground. Our plumbers will gladly guide you on the best fit for your circumstances, and your budget.
For assistance in sourcing, maintaining, and securing your choice of a water tank, call Sydney Water Tanks today on 1800 041 111.

THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY made payments worth €6.8 million to Irish doctors and €10.7 million to Irish healthcare institutions in 2015.
The disclosure of figures has come following a report into the operations of Big Pharma in Ireland in yesterday's Sunday Business Post.
That report claims that Big Pharma is paying millions of euro to Irish doctors for education, travel, and speaking fees.
It also suggests that the choice a patient's doctor may make when prescribing drugs may be influenced by the pharmaceutical industry itself.
Speaking to RTÉ's Morning Ireland today, Professor Michael Barry, clinical director of the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics, said that "there is little doubt hat the spending of the pharmaceutical industry in this area does influence the prescribing behaviour of doctors".
"We know that we see a change in the prescribing habits of doctors, some say it leads to non-rational prescribing," he said.
We even see it ourselves in our own prescribing, when we have a choice of medication for example, the medications we'd use for treating dyspepsia (indigestion) for example – we've five choices, and the most frequently prescribed one is the most expensive one, that doesn't happen by accident.
So marketing works, and that's why the industry does it.
"Highly regulated"
Speaking on the same programme, Oliver O'Connor, chief executive with the Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association (IPHA), said that interactions between doctors and clinicians and the pharmaceutical industry is "highly regulated already by European law".
"The way to make sure that patients know decisions are being made in their interests is to see that there is full disclosure of whatever payments are being made," he said.
Asked whether or not he accepts that there is a link between payments made by pharmaceutical companies regarding sponsored meetings or educational events and how doctors prescribe, O'Connor responded: "I actually don't."
"No one in this report has offered any evidence whatsoever that doctors in Ireland have prescribed inappropriately for their patients."
Doctors are under obligations under Medical Council rules to have good prescribing practice, and to put the patient at the heart of their prescribing decisions.
If there's a problem it is with doctors not adhering to those rules.
Professor Barry retorted: "There is no such thing as a free lunch here."
"Doctors are influenced by the spend of pharmaceutical companies. The fact is, the industry paid €6.8 million on 3,000 payments to doctors last year. It spent €10.7 million to healthcare institutions, many of them hospital," he said.
€3.7 million was undisclosed. Now what was that for?
According to O'Connor that €3.7 million is for instances in which "doctors have not given their consent" for payments made to them to be made public.
"We put out transparency rules this summer – we've encouraged them (doctors) to consent to payments being made public."
If there is any breach of that it's important that it be brought to the Medical Council and not aired simply in the media, everybody has a duty.
Regarding the fact that many of the payments made have been regarding educational events, Professor Barry said "there is no role for the pharmaceutical industry in medical education".
"The pharmaceutical industry's job is to sell medicines, not educate doctors. They have a marketing budget, not an education budget," he said.

almost a ghost

Face me now, my lover
Hang a light switch higher, flip the light
Won't you burn some joy I threw
Upon the street and drove right through
The crazies all in line to battle sorrow
Now the way to live, can't wake up sorrow
Who is that crying on the road now?
Who is that ghost singing our songs?
Weakest hand fell from my grip
The shapeless ways your fist can move
I feel like I could fill this room
With broken records and dead balloons
And it's a happy birthday, say so long to sorrow
Beggar shoes can't find the way to sorrow
Who is that burning on the sun?
All the trash that filled our rooms
Fade as light from angled roofs
The lunatics are aching too
The cold dust smell, the dusk is dim
Midnight lungs of promises
The fire hydrant blasts the shell of sorrow
Rescue missions dig up the bones of sorrow
Who is that crying in the shadow?
Who is that ghost singing our songs?

A Prayer Before Dawn hits UK cinemas this weekend
Hurricane Films' critically acclaimed movie, A Prayer Before Dawn, is released in cinemas this weekend.
Shot on location in Thailand and the Philippines, it's based on the true story of Billy Moore, a Liverpool boxer who ended up in the notorious "Bangkok Hilton."
It came about when Moore arrived at Hurricane Films' office in Liverpool to tell his story.
"Ever since Billy Moore first turned up at our Hope Street office with his unpublished book, six years ago, we knew we had to get this film made," explained Roy Boulter.
"In Jean-Stéphane (Sauvaire), we had a director with a unique and uncompromising vision. Joe Cole is one of the country's most promising rising stars and he has given what is being described as a career-defining performance. We are extremely excited by the film's release."
Variety described the film as "an astonishing knockout", while The Hollywood said it was "Midnight Express meets Ong Bak".
As well as the general release, there are special screenings on 23rd July, which feature a short with Professor Green in conversation with Billy Moore and producer Roy Boulter.

Mubin Shaikh
Mubin Shaikh is a former security intelligence and counter terrorism operative. He has testified as an expert for the United Nations Security Council[1], the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs[2] with NATO, the National Counterterrorism Center, and Special Operations Command Central and he is an external expert with the Joint Staff SMA for CENTCOM Command Staff.[3]
Mubin Shaikh
Shaikh in 2015
|September 29, 1975
Toronto, Ontario
He has also appeared on media outlets such as CNN [4], [5] CBC [6], ABC [7], and NBC [8] MSNBC[9], on matters related to extremism and terrorism. Mubin Shaikh is a member of the Memphis-based organization Parents For Peace.
Shaikh's operational experience originates with his role as an undercover counter-terrorism operative for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in the 2006 Toronto terrorism case [10]. He was active with CSIS for some years domestically, but the details of his activities are subject to national security restrictions and so cannot be disclosed to the public.[11]. Shaikh moved on to become a Royal Canadian Mounted Police agent with the Integrated National Security Enforcement Teams when one of the Service investigations uncovered a group of young Muslim men, of various ethnic backgrounds, intending to engage in criminal offences regarding terrorism.
It is clear from court evidence that the plot was well underway before CSIS had assigned Shaikh to the investigation. The investigation was formally moved from CSIS to the RCMP after Shaikh had verified the information that had been disclosed to him by the subjects of the investigation. After several public hearings (youth preliminary hearings in January 2007, adult preliminary hearings in September 2007, and a youth trial by judge in 2008) and despite allegations of entrapment, Judge John Sproat, in March 2009, dismissed claims of entrapment and wrote in his ruling that Shaikh was cleared of any wrongdoing and "displayed a great number of the hallmarks of a truthful and credible witness" and that the group's plans were already underway prior to Shaikh's involvement and so could not have been the result of the state abusing its authority. [12]
In total, seven people had charges "stayed" because of the sympathetic testimony of Shaikh. A prosecutor in the case even accused Shaikh of lying to protect the youth accused. The judge, in his ruling, once again sided with Shaikh.[13]. At the end of the adult trial by jury of the remaining three persons in June 2010, after several others had pleaded guilty, a comprehensive presentation of previously-restricted information including court exhibits entered as evidence, complete with transcripts and video, was put forward by Isabel Teotonio of the Toronto Star.[14] Zakaria Amara wrote a letter of apology[15] and Faheem Ahmad gave an interview on his radicalization.[16] He also had discussions with Abu Huzaifa al-Kanadi.[17]
Shaikh is a co-author of the book Undercover Jihadi. [18]
Shaikh has a Master of Policing, Intelligence, and Counter-Terrorism from Macquarie University, Australia. *Degree conferment: 2011. Search using Mubin Shaikh: [19]
Personal lifeEdit
Shaikh was born at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. He attended Quran school as a child as well as public school. At age 14, he joined the Royal Canadian Army Cadets attaining the rank of Cadet Warrant Officer.
After an identity crisis because of a house party he went to Pakistan, where a chance encounter with the Taliban propelled him into extremism. The 9/11 attacks made him reconsider his views and he then spent 2 years in Syria augmenting previous private study of Islamic Studies where he went through a period of deradicalization, rejecting extremism and terrorism as anathema to Islam. He then returned to Canada and began his national security operations work.

kendall jenner's new pepsi ad appears to erase the black lives matter movement
Inspiring a furious reaction from online commenters, Pepsi have been accused of coopting the aesthetics of protest for profit and positioning a privileged white model as the saviour of civil rights movements in the struggle against police brutality.
Pepsi's new advert has caused widespread offence for coopting the aesthetics of activism to mimic protest marches and iconic images of Black Lives Matter activists in order to sell product. At a time of global protest, ongoing police brutality and corporate complicity, the concept of the advert is particularly tone-deaf.
Kendall Jenner stars as a model who is working at a photoshoot when she sees a protest march passing by outside the window. She is moved to ditch the shoot when a hot Asian guy playing a musician nods at her to join in - she does so, but not before throwing her wig in the face of the black stylist.
The cause of the protest is vague, but there are protest signs that say 'Peace' and 'Unity', CND logos, and one that says 'Join the conversation'. Kendall walks through the diverse crowd of protesters, picking up a Pepsi on the way, and handing it to a Police officer in a Police line that appears to be blocking the way of the march. When he cracks open the can, both protesters and Police erupt in cheers, as if the gesture had saved the day, alleviating tension between the two groups.
Critics of the advert note how problematic it is to position a privileged white model as the saviour of the day, somehow defusing the implied tensions of police brutality and racism with a can of soda. Many have also noted that the scene itself appears to resemble the iconic image of Iesha Evans standing her ground in the face of riot police at a protest against police brutality in Baton Rouge.
Pepsi's inclusion of an Asian man as a musician, a woman in a hijab as a photographer and a black woman as the stylist illustrates that considerations of diversity and inclusivity must reach beyond box-ticking casting exercises to additionally include people with diverse viewpoints and life experiences in the decision making process. If more of those decision makers had a stake in the issues and movements the advert coopts, and arguably erases, then perhaps this advert would not have been as offensive as it has proved to be.
In a statement addressing the controversy, Pepsi are unmoved, saying, "This is a global ad that reflects people from different walks of life coming together in a spirit of harmony. We think that's an important message to convey". Kendall has yet to speak on the matter.
To find out more about what the Black Lives Matter movement is really about, please head over to their website - especially if you have never done so before - and read about the aims of the movement, its founders, and guiding principles.
UPDATE: Pepsi have removed the advert, and have issued the following statement: "Pepsi was trying to project a global message of unity, peace, and understanding. Clearly we missed the mark, and we apologise. We did not intend to make light of any serious issue. We are removing the content and halting any further rollout. We also apologise for putting Kendall Jenner in this position."
