Your Realtor says there are plenty of buyers looking for homes over the holidays, and they are serious about finding a home. But how do you celebrate while keeping your home show ready and at the same time appealing to potential buyers?
Begin by making sure your home is clean and staged before you decorate and add more items. The decorations should be neutral and not class with your normal décor. Silver and gold are good choices.
If the thought of decorating doesn't appeal to you at all, try to invoke a warm, cozy feeling with just a few nods to the season like a wreath or some splashes of color or sparkle.
Too many trimmings can be distracting. Don't overdo the lights.
Keep the size of your tree in check. Don't allow the size of your tree to make the room feel smaller, block a wonderful view or make it difficult to navigate through the house. Simple tree decorations are best.
Finally, you want to attract all kinds of buyers, so try not to use a lot of religious decorations. A few tasteful pieces are fine.
While you should be allowed to celebrate the holidays as you normally do, remember that you'll have to pack up all the decorations to move, so maybe going simple this year with all the moving issues to deal with anyway, will be less stressful overall!
If you need more direction, contact your RE/MAX Premier Properties agent.

Background and purpose of ARCH-UK
The UK aquaculture sector contributes around £600 million to a UK seafood industry worth at £6.3 billion in 2016. England, Wales and N. Ireland collectively produce 19,000 metric tons (mt) of shellfish and 9,200 mt of trout, with production coming mainly from SMEs. Scotland is a major producer of Atlantic salmon (>163,000 mt; third largest producer globally) and the industry is both highly consolidated and export focused. In Scotland there is also significant trout (6,000 mt) and shellfish (6,300 mt) production. There is also a significant and expanding aquaculture industry in England, Wales and Ireland, most notably for shellfish with the largest single UK shellfish farm in Southwest England.
In order for the UK to remain competitive within this rapidly growing sector, and ensure a sustainable future, it is essential that the expansion of the industry is supported by high quality, innovative research. This will lead to a better understanding of the basic biology, health and environmental interactions of farmed fish and shellfish.
ARCH-UK was established through the BBSRC/NERC Aquaculture Initiative which aims to provide solutions to the shared and specific issues currently preventing growth in all sectors of UK aquaculture industry. The initiative will do this by enabling the development of scientific knowledge and technological capability. ARCH-UK has been created to sign-post BBSRC/NERC funding to research areas that will make the most impact on the long term sustainable growth of aquaculture.
[Modified from http://gtr.rcuk.ac.uk/projects]
Create individual Working Group research priority reports which will be combined into a single ARCH-UK research priority report for BBSRC/NERC via consultation with a range of stakeholders. This was completed in 2017 to advise the 2018 round of BBSRC/NERC Aquaculture Initiative research call, worth £4 million.
Develop a UK-wide aquaculture community of academics, industry members and government officials. Providing opportunities for knowledge exchange and networking.
Foster collaborations that create new approaches to major research and innovation challenges by actively engaging with a wide range of researchers from engineering, economics, social science, remote sensing and computational modelling, among others.
ARCH-UK is a partnership between four universities, The University of Stirling (Lead Research Organisation), Swansea University, The University of Aberdeen and The University of Exeter. The network is managed through the Executive Management Team consisting of four Grant Holders and two Managers split between the University of Stirling and Swansea University. The University of Stirling office consists of Prof Herve Migaud (PI), Prof Sam Martin (Co-I at the University of Aberdeen) and Dr Joanna Gosling (Project Manager) who are responsible for managing Working Group 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8. The Swansea University office consists of Prof Andrew Rowley (PI), Prof Charles Tyler (Co-I at the University of Exeter) and James Taylor (Network Manager) and are responsible for managing Working Group 3, 4 and 7.
The Working Groups (WG) consist of a range of stakeholders (academia, industry, policy, business) from across the UK who have expertise relevant to the UK aquaculture industry. Each WG focuses on a key area relevant to safeguarding the future of aquaculture. They are as follows:
WG1: Finfish Nutrition
WG2: Finfish Health & Welfare
WG3: Shellfish Health & Disease
WG4: Human Health & Food Safety
WG5: Stock Improvement
WG6: Markets, Economics, Social Science & Technology Development
WG7: Environmental Interactions, Climate change & Capacity
WG8: Career Development & Training
Early Career Researcher (defined by ARCH-UK as within 10 years of PhD graduation) involvement is encouraged to ensure future research collaboration and communication.
In 2017, each WG developed a focused set of research priorities, reflecting the views of WG members and the wider community. The individual WG reports discussed medium to long term research requirements, specifically where sustainable development is hindered by lack of suitable infrastructure, manpower, resources or background knowledge. The WG reports also inform the future activities of each WG.
Cross-cutting themes from the WG reports were combined into a single 'ARCH-UK Research Priorities Report', submitted to BBSRC/NERC in 2017. WGs have continued to work together to develop collaborative projects, workshops and aid the research community response to funding calls.
Has a UK-wide member base of aquaculture stakeholders, working at a national level.
Highlights research and skills gaps directly to BBSRC/NERC.
Focuses on increasing UK capacity for aquaculture research and innovation. Input and knowledge exchange with industry, policy and regulatory bodies are important for to achieving this goal and improving research impact where possible.
Aims to address fundamental research questions that drive the sustainable development of UK aquaculture.

Some years ago it was unusual for a woman to study the organ. The difficult fingering, the heavy pedaling, the complicated stops were wisely deemed obstacles which ought to deter a girl from attempting it. Her physique was not equal to the strain. America pronounced judgment against her physical fitness; Germany questioned her musical ability. The first woman to study the organ in Berlin under the celebrated Prof. August Haupt was refused the use of the church-organ assigned her: "A woman had never played it!"1 Notwithstanding all precedent and prejudice, however, the execution learned at home won such confidence that permission was finally granted her to practice without any compensation to church or organist. This was an American victory.
To-day woman's musical ability is recognized on both continents. Electrical action and automatic pedals have removed the last prudential scruples. In this new century the career of organist is as unquestioningly open to women as to men.
The musical woman is a good organ-student. Her success during student-days encourages her professors to believe she can equal and may surpass the execution of her brother-students in after-years; but at present she rarely fulfills this promise. Still, critical musical instructors affirm that woman has the soul qualities which fit her to gain even finer results than man. She has a greater enthusiasm, finer sensibility, and as keen musical intuitions; her hands are as flexible, her memory as retentive, her patience and perseverance as unwearied and unflagging; yet a woman rarely becomes a widely-known organist. The reason is obvious. The parents of the girl-student seldom take her music seriously. They regard it as an accomplishment or as a desirable means of earning pin-money until she shall be established in a home of her own. They feel that for her a few lessons on the organ will suffice; whereas if the boy chooses music as a profession, his guardians recognize the need of thorough training for him in a musical career. A boy therefore has the advantage of better preparation for his work.
Marriage only spurs the man to greater and richer achievement. Marriage, for the woman, usually means abandonment of public service and desertion of the beloved instrument. Thus, marriage commonly overshadows a woman's career in the eyes of her parents and friends from the beginning, so that she rarely has the same rich opportunities for developing her musical gifts that are accorded her brother-students; yet the woman has the soul, the ability, the perceptions to compete successfully with men in a musical career.
It was formerly believed that woman lacked the mental grasp, the virile brain-power to become a musical composer. The works of Mrs. Rogers, of Madame Hopekirk, of Liza Lehman, of Mrs. H. H. A. Beach prove that she has not only appreciation of musical composition, that she possesses not only the insight and power to interpret and reproduce what others have conceived, but that she likewise possesses the talent, when her powers have been trained, to compete with the musicians of this new century in the realm of musical composition.—Emilie Grant-Wilkinson.

During Thursday's special work session, a straw poll was taken among the four board members in attendance—newly appointed board member Jennifer Ponzini was absent—for each variance and determination the board is required to make on the application. With the exception of a single variance, the board unanimously ruled against the applicant, Petroleum Ventures LLC, on all fronts. Even if Ms. Ponzini were to vote against the board majority on all matters, the decision would stay the same.
The first denial of the night came in the form of a buffer variance. Village code requires a 30 foot landscaped buffer between a commercial property and a residential property, and Harbor Heights is in a residential neighborhood. The applicants wanted to reduce those buffers to 10.6 feet and 21 feet on each side in order to make room for more parking spaces.
"I feel strongly that buffers and setbacks are a key means to protecting that neighborhood," ZBA chairman Anton Hagen said. "They are essential. I don't see any reason why the project couldn't be accomplished within the 30 foot buffers."
His thoughts were echoed by board members Tim McGuire and Brendan Skislock, before the board unanimously denied the variance request.
"They can come back with a request that is buffer compliant," Mr. Hagen concluded.
The next variance on the docket was also denied, but only after a brief moment of hope for the applicant.
At issue throughout the past three years of proceedings was whether or not the building inspector had correctly measured the gross floor area of the proposed convenience store.
The village code, revised in 2009 with the looming renovation of Harbor Heights in mind, limits the size of a convenience store to 600 square feet "for the display of goods for retail sale." According to the village building inspector, the planned store would sit at 718 square feet, needing a 118 square foot variance. But the opposition, namely the grassroots advocacy group Save Sag Harbor, contended that the store was in fact more than 900 square feet, because the building inspector excluded areas for mechanical equipment, utilities, storage and bathrooms.
The board ruled that the building inspector was correct in his assessment, because the code only limited the areas displaying goods to 600 square feet—only to turn around and uphold the importance of the 600 square foot rule and deny the extra 118 square feet desired.
"The record has convinced me that the 600 square feet should be held to," Mr. Hagen said. "The extra display area is a detriment to the community."
After the board agreed that the store should be limited to the size mandated by village code, village attorney Denise Schoen said the last variance, whether or not a special exception use (as the convenience store would be) could be intensified, became a moot point, and the board automatically denied the variance.
The lone variance the board approved was to allow the "front-yard setback" of the proposed convenience store to be 15.6 feet from Hampton Street where normally 50 feet would be required. The board unanimously ruled the variance wouldn't pose a detriment to the community because the new structure would be in the exact same spot, with the exact same footprint, as the current building.
"This is not a tear-down and rebuild but instead a renovation of an existing building," said Ms. Schoen.
"Because it is pre-existing, I feel comfortable granting this variance," Mr. Hagen said.
In addition to the variances, the board had to make two legal determinations.
First off, because the gas station is a pre-existing non-conforming use, the board had to decide whether or not the plan to add a pump and move the location of the pumps was an intensification. Throughout the years-long proceedings, there was discussion of a similar case, called Tartan Oil Corp. V. Board of Zoning Appeals, where the courts ruled in favor of Tartan. If the same court standard was applied, it would improve the odds for the Harbor Heights expansion.
But the board decided that the cases were in fact not identical, because unlike Tartan, Harbor Heights is looking to add a single pump—and they ruled against the application again, saying it would be an intensification.
The second legal determination—that an appeal by opponents Save Sag Harbor was too late to be considered—actually went in favor of the applicant, but was essentially rendered pointless by the previous rulings.
The attorney for the applicant, Dennis Downes, said after the work session that following the official ruling next Tuesday, he and his client, John Leonard, will have 30 days to either scale down their application and reapply for approval with the ZBA, or appeal the decision through a lawsuit. "I'm not going to speak for my client as to his intentions though without speaking to him first," Mr. Downes said.
Regardless of what Mr. Leonard and Mr. Downes decide to do, everyone involved fully expects this ruling to end up in the court system, as discussed at the work session by head village attorney Fred W. Thiele, Jr., who was sitting in on the highly-publicized meeting despite normally only attending village board of trustee meetings.
"When one side or another here sues, they will raise all the issues they have with how you ruled," Mr. Thiele said. "It doesn't cost them any extra, so they won't be nitpicking in the lawsuit. If I were the attorney challenging a denial, I'd challenge everything."

The enemies of Silver are Air & Moisture, so when not worn silver jewelry should be stored in a way that keeps Air & Moisture away. A Jewelry box is typically lined with a fabric that helps keep Silver nice, and a Ziplock Bag works well for traveling. If you simply keep your silver put away when not being worn there should be no need to purchase these anti-tarnish items.
If needed there are specialty items you can buy:
3M makes an anti-tarnish item that can be put into a Jewelry Box to reduce tarnish.
There are anti-tarnish fabric bags (made from a specialty fabric).
General Caution
Chlorine (in pools & in cleaning products) will tend to oxidize the surface quite quickly. You should remove Silver whenever it might come into contact with chemicals (soaps, cleansers, and more). I have also discovered that some sunscreens can cause silver to oxidize, and the oily nature of some lotions & sunscreens simply gets jewelry dirty.
Silver-Only Jewelry: I found this to be the best method & it uses simple things most of us have at home.
What you need: A Glass Bowl, Aluminum Foil (must be Aluminum), Baking Soda, & a sink or dishpan to place the bowl in (for overflow).
How to clean: Line your glass bowl with Aluminum Foil, shiny side up. Place silver in the bowl making sure it touches the aluminum well (for chains you will want to wait until after you pour in the water), cover with baking soda (a few teaspoons or so). Place the bowl in the sink/dishpan, pour boiling water into the bowl - it will bubble & may overflow. You may sprinkle a little bit of salt into the bowl to speed up the process if your piece is especially dirty.
What this is doing: This is a chemical reaction that turns the Silver Oxide back into Silver.
Silver with other metals, stones, or other items:
There are a variety of polishing methods, cloths & chemicals, but they all remove silver that has oxidized rather than returning it to its original chemical form, over time some of these methods can cause pieces to become dull/scratched - so use care. Additionally, use extra care around stones as many can be scratched/dulled as well.
I like: Sunshine Cloths - fabric polishing cloths - come as a single cloth, cannot be washed but last a good long time. Connoisseur Wipes - disposable polishing cloths - come with several in a little box. Last I checked both were readily available.

Blog post | What does 'being commercial' mean for a lawyer?
This is a question that haunts commercial lawyers in private practice and in-house - as there is more and more pressure on us in this ever-changing legal industry to be 'more than just lawyers' - ie to be 'commercial' for our clients. But what does that actually mean?
We recently asked this question to some of our learned friends on LInkedIn. While there are common themes among the responses, the broad range of thoughts and ideas just goes to show how being commercial as a lawyer can mean different things to different people. One thing is for certain though - being commercial is a non-negotiable for a lawyer in this day and age!
Clearly just telling people to "be commercial" doesn't help. Luke Hawthorne, Senior Associate at King & Wood Mallesons says "it is very unhelpful to tell a graduate to just be "more commercial". Understanding your client deeply, and how their business or project in question operates, is required here. For in-house lawyers it is a little easier as you generally know the company you work for inherently, but for private practice lawyers it can be difficult to know your many clients inside and out. Client secondments do help of course, and asking the right questions of your client will help you really understand their business. Think about it from the client perspective - they don't want to know how clever you are at law, they just want you to solve their problems! Knowing your client is therefore essential to being commercial, and being able to advise the client in a way that is useful for them.
Speaking of clients, non-lawyers had their say on this too! Trent Butler, Senior Manager at Axiom Forensics, says that "Being commercial means taking into appropriate consideration all know implications (business, personal, financial, etc.) when choosing the best solution to a particular problem… Whilst I'm not a lawyer, I suppose for lawyers it means properly educating clients of the implications of each course of possible action so said client can make a commercial decision where appropriate." Nicka Pitoi, Legal Counsel of Coca-Cola Amatil (PNG) Ltd agrees that it is the balance of all of these appropriate considerations - that is, not only looking at an issue from the legal angle but also "from financial, business strategy and reputational perspectives of the business; balancing risks vs opportunities, and guiding decisions towards outcomes that advance the goals and objectives of the business whilst at the same time limiting its exposure to financial, legal and reputational harm."
Commercial legal advice, according to Karina Veling, Lawyer at The Star, must be provided "in a way that promotes and bolsters a company's goals, objectives and strategic approach. It's about bridging that gap between the law and business. This is much easier said than done, and not really a skill you can read about, but rather learn in practice."
For Lana Waltman, Associate at Slater & Gordon, having the required legal skill set and knowledge is a given, but more is needed. "On top of this, lawyers need to have a business mindset, leadership skills, be able to network, engage in business development and promote their personal brand and firm to attract clients and referrals, be a good sales person, write articles, speak publicly, be able to manage and motivate a team, and be a part of creating a positive environment and culture on a day to day basis amongst other things." How interesting that all of these additional skills have nothing to do with law!
Chris Hargreaves, Owner of TipsForLawyers.com puts this in a different way: "It means putting reality and humans above the law. Sure, mostly it comes up in relation to money, but I'd say that "commerciality" is just a dollars based approach to "humanity". That is: understand what really matters to somebody you're acting for, and focus on that more so than the strict legal application.... assuming you can do so ethically."
All of these opinions and definitions show how complex this topic is, but also how necessary it is that we as lawyers strive to be commercial, for our clients. As Ms Veling put it, "being commercial" will continue to rise on the list of essential skills for lawyers, especially those working in-house" .
So what does 'being commercial' mean to you?

1. Field of the Invention
The invention herein relates to video gaming devices for playing of card games and their method of operation. More particularly, it relates to such devices and methods of betting by players for such card games on such devices.
2. Description of the Prior Art
An important element in the popular appeal of conventional table card gaming is the ability provided to a player to change the amount of his or her wager upon completion of each round of play in the particular game, such as twenty-one or one of the varieties of poker. Thus, when on a winning streak, players tend to increase their bets to take advantage of their run of luck. Conversely, when their luck changes and they start having losses, they tend to decrease their bets to minimize those losses. The ability to make such changes to reflect a player's perception of the progress of the game is a major factor in retaining that player's interest in continuing the game, since the player's net winnings or losses are thus a direct result of that wagering strategy.
In recent years, video simulation versions of many of the table card games have come into widespread use. In the video games, an individual player plays against a computer generated simulation of the game, with the computer programmed to reproduce accurately the deal of the cards, and these games have proved quite popular. Wagering has, however, been constrained by the nature of the prior art devices. Initially such video games provided only for a wager that was constrained by the denomination allowed by the device. In a "quarter machine," for instance, a player could wager only multiples of twenty-five cents on each round of play. The game could not be activated except by depositing one or more quarters into the machine or betting accumulated twenty-five cent credit units held in memory by the device. The amount of a winning payoff was based solely on the card hand which was generated by the computer.
Subsequently, video game devices were constructed that allowed deposit of one or a few coins (commonly from three to eight) in a "multiplier" or "multi-line" configuration with payoff for a specific hand being directly proportional to the number of coins deposited. However, as with the earlier devices, wages made on these types of devices are limited only to increments of a single coin type; a quarter machine will accept quarters but will not accept any other type of coin, so the player is limited as to the maximum wager that can be made. Thus, while a player can decrease his or her wager to a single coin while on a losing streak, the player is essentially prevented from taking advantage of a winning streak to make significantly increased wagers. This of course markedly reduces potential players' interest in the video card games.
The problem cannot be resolved by simply permitting the wagering of a large number of coins or credits per round. However large the amount of coins or credits wagered per round, the wager still has a minimum and maximum limit dictated by the defined denomination. Thus, a dollar player must continue to wager a minimum of one dollar or a one-dollar credit on each round. In the case of physical coin wagers, the extensive time required for a player to deposit a large wager coin-by-coin greatly reduces the speed of the game. It is well known that when a significant time interval elapses between each round of play, players quickly lose interest in continuing the game. Consequently, it may be considered that the current video gaming devices have reached a "dead end" with respect to increasing players' interest, since any significant increase in wagering capability is offset by a substantial decrease in the cycle time for play of the game.
It would therefore be advantageous to have a new type of video card gaming device which would permit a player to make substantial upward or downward changes in wagering between any two rounds or hands of play of the game, without significantly increasing the length of the time interval between such rounds or hands. Such would permit the ongoing game to continue at the normal pace that the player expects, while yet providing opportunities for the player to capitalize on a winning streak or minimize losses during a losing streak.
The video card gaming devices of the present invention and their method of use are based on a major departure from the wagering concepts of the prior art video card gaming devices, and permit players to engage in a much wider range of wagering strategies for each hand or round of play, in a manner virtually analogous to the type of wagering available with table card games. The major innovations of the present devices are in their handling of many different denominations of coins, currency or credit indicators and their ability to provide a player with the opportunity to make major changes in the total value of each wager. Thus the player can utilize all of the various strategic wagering skills which he or she posses substantially as would be done at a table card game, and the player is not artificially limited by a wager handling capability of a device with an effective cap of only a few coins.
As will be discussed below, the present video gaming devices can be programmed for a wide variety of different card games, since the present invention deals with the denomination and total amount of money wagered on each round, not on what the card game itself is, how it is played or what a "round" or "hand" constitutes. For the purposes of illustration, however, the gaming devices of the present invention will be described initially in terms of the play of five-card draw poker. It will be understood of course that this is simply an example of a card game of chance and not intended to be a suggestion that the gaming devices of the present invention are limited solely to video poker games.
Specifically, in one major aspect, the invention herein is a video gaming device for playing of a card game and comprising a housing containing a video screen, money providing means and an operating panel; card game playing means incorporated into the panel and adapted to be manipulated by a player to play the card game; generation means responsive to the card game playing means to display on the video screen visual indicia representing card sequences appropriate to the card game; identification means operably associated with the money providing means to determine a monetary value of money provided therethrough; denomination selection means incorporated into the panel and adapted to be manipulated by the player to indicate a unit of wager to be applied to a single play of the card game; wagering means incorporated into the panel and adapted to be manipulated by the player to indicate a wager to be applied to the single play of the card game; credit determining means operably associated with the identification means, denomination selection means and wager means to determine a number of plays of the card game available to the player at the amount of wager and denomination indicated by the player and at the monetary value of the money provided and credited; and display means responsive thereto to display the number of such available plays on the video screen; the credit determining means further comprising means to redetermine and display a remaining number of plays available to the player after each individual play and after any change in determination of the amount of wager by the player.
In another aspect, the invention is a method for playing a card game by means of a video gaming device which comprises generating and displaying on a video screen visual indicia representing at least one card of the card game; manipulating game playing means to which the video screen is responsive to play the card game; operably providing to the gaming device an amount of money, and determining the monetary value of the amount of money; selecting the amount of wager to be applied to each single play of the card game; and determining from the monetary value and the wager selection the number of plays of the card game available and displaying the number of such available plays on the video screen; redetermining and displaying a remaining number of plays available after each individual play and after any change in indication of the amount of wager.
The invention also includes means in the apparatus to terminate play of the game, either upon command of the player or automatically when no available plays remain.
The gaming devices of this invention are usable with any monetary value and denomination of coin, currency and credit indicators (markers). They may be used with any type of card game of chance which can be properly simulated electronically, particularly the variants of poker or "21".
As used herein, the term "money" may mean cash (coins and/or currency) or machine-indicated credits or both. Thus, "money deposited" with respect to a specific hand or round of play may refer to cash input to the device at that time or to a signal to the device to accept one or more accumulated credits as "money." The particular meaning at any point will be evident from the context.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of the front of a typical video gaming device of the present invention, illustrating the video screen (with an initial representation of the game at the wagering step) and the control panel of the device. In FIGS. 2-4 the example illustrated is the play of five-card draw poker.
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of the video display screen of the device of FIG. 1 showing a representation of the screen after an initial wager.
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation similar to that of FIG. 2, showing the video screen display at a subsequent round in a game, exemplified by a card game of chance.
FIG. 4 is a schematic representation of similar to that of FIG. 3 showing the video screen display at yet a later round of the game.
FIG. 5 is a schematic representation of the video display screen of the device of FIG. 1 showing a representation of the screen after an initial wager when the game being played is "21" or its variant, blackjack.
Considering first FIG. 1, a gaming device generally designated 2 is illustrated, which is typically housed within a video game housing 4. This housing 4, which may be mounted on a table, pedestal or other support (not shown), or within another cabinet-like environment, has two front areas for interaction with the player, a video display screen 6 and a control panel 8.
FIG. 1 illustrates a typical image displayed on the video screen during the "idle" period prior to the start of a game by a player. If desired, this image can alternate with an "attract mode" image or sequence of images designed to draw a prospective player's attention to the gaming device and stimulate his or her interest in playing the game.
In the image shown in FIG. 1, there are a series of areas 10, individually identified as 10a-10e, which signify individual monetary denominations of a potential wager. In the example shown, the denominations represent the standard U.S. coins (except the penny) and the one dollar denomination. A legend 12 instructs the player to select a denomination for the initial wager. The areas 10 and the legend 12 will disappear from the screen once the denomination of the wager has been selected and they will be replaced by representations of the game cards, as will be described below.
Also displayed on the screen are a group of legends 14, 16 and 18 which indicate the current wager status at each point in the progress of the game. The BET indicator 14 shows the number of units of the designated denomination which the player is wagering on the next round of the game. The CREDIT indicator 16 indicates the number of additional units of that denomination which the player has as credits available from the amount of money previously deposited and previous winnings. The RESERVE indicator 18 shows the monetary value of any fractional units of the denomination which are also credited to the player, as will be described below. The legends 14, 16 and 18 will normally be displayed on the screen at all times so that the player is continually aware of the wager status.
Commonly there may also be represented, as in area 20, other legends describing the various winning combinations of the card game and their respective payouts. For instance, in the example poker game the rank of the various poker hands and their relative payout values will normally be displayed. The legends in area 20 regarding the game options may be continually displayed or deleted during the progress of each hand after wagering is completed, as desired and appropriate for each type of game.
To initiate play of the game, the player deposits a certain number of coins, bills or credit indicators (which as noted may collectively be referred to herein as "money") into the gaming device through slot 22 in control panel 8. Slot 22 communicates directly with conventional recognition apparatus (not shown) within housing 4, which has the ability to identify and differentiate each of the possible coins, bills or credit indicators which the player may insert. For instance, the coin recognition portion of the apparatus would typically be able to differentiate among nickels, dimes, quarters or half-dollars, while a currency recognition device in the apparatus would be able to scan the deposited currency and identify the denomination of each bill as by optical character readers. The device, if desired, may also be able to distinguish and identify credit indicators, such as typical casino markers, which represent different values of credit that a player has previously accumulated. It is common for casinos to use different colored tokens or "markers," which may also have denominations written on them, as coin or currency substitutes within the casino. These can be identified when played in the gaming devices of the present invention either by scanning with a color recognition system or an optical reader if the denomination is printed on each disc or marker. Also within the apparatus would be accumulators which would continually total the amount of coins, currency or markers which were deposited and display that accumulated total as a credit on the screen at 16. Normally such accumulation and display will be part of the software program that operates the overall displays on screen 6 and the play of the game. Further, the recognition and accumulation systems within the gaming devices may be set, usually through software, to identify any type of coins or currency, so a player could insert and the device would accept coins and currency of two or more designated countries, greatly facilitating international gaming.
After the player has inserted the desired initial amount of money into the gaming device through slot 22, he or she pushes one of the buttons 24, each of which is uniquely associated with one of the denomination indicators on the screen as by arrows 26, to indicate which denomination of money the player wishes to use for the next round of the game. The internal programming of the device then immediately displays the number of units of credit for that denomination at 16. This is illustrated in FIG. 2, where, in this example, the player has inserted $50 in coins or currency and has designated a $1 denomination for the initial wager at which is displayed at 28. The player is then shown as having 50 credits (CREDIT at 16) and a $0.00 RESERVE, since there is no fractional dollar unit remaining from the $50 deposit. If the amount of money deposited had not totaled a whole number of units of the denomination chosen, the remaining fractional unit would have been converted to a monetary value and displayed as RESERVE at 18.
After the denomination is chosen, the player pushes another button 30 to indicate how many units of that denomination he or she wishes to wager on the next round. Pushing this button 30 will change the numeral at 14 indicating the number of units BET. The CREDIT designation at 16 will decrease correspondingly as the wager is registered. The programming of the device may be set so that a single unit of the indicated denomination is the default wager. Button 30 will then need to be pushed only if the player wishes to bet more than a single unit of the denomination.
If the programming of the device is such that the default returns to one unit after each round, only a single button 30 will be needed to raise that wager when desired. Preferably, however, to speed play of the game the device will be programmed so that the designated number of units bet carries forward from round to round until changed, in which case the device will normally have a pair of buttons 30a and 30b, one of which (30a) decreases the number of units wagered and the other of which (30b) increases the number of units wagered.
Once the total wager (denomination and units) is laid, the game proceeds as with any other similar video card game. In the poker game illustrated, as shown next in FIG. 2, a series of five cards 34 are displayed with their individual suits and face values. The player then examines the hand displayed and decides whether to play that hand or seek replacement of one or more of the cards 34 in an attempt to obtain a higher value hand. The interaction between the device and the player for communicating the player's decision to the device game operating system can be, for instance, by pressing of the appropriate buttons 24 which are now aligned with the card representations 34 and which, through the appropriate software programming or device circuitry, will generate representations of replacement cards for those individual cards 34 which the player wishes to discard. If the player wishes to retain the hand as originally dealt, there is an additional button such as 32 to indicate that the player is playing that hand. Then when either button 32 is pressed or the desired number of cards have been changed through the buttons 24, the system determines the final value of the player's hand and either declares the hand to be a loser or pays the appropriate payout amount for a winning combination as determined by the ordinary rules of the game. If the hand is a winning hand, the number of units won are immediately added to the CREDIT indication 16, and a screen equivalent to that in FIG. 1 is regenerated to afford the player the opportunity to change the denomination and/or units wagered for the next round. Commonly in order to speed play of the game, the denomination previously chosen is retained as the default denomination. The player can then use buttons 30a or 30b to raise or lower the units wagered or can press the DEAL activation button 32 to indicate that the previous number of units wagered is to be repeated, so that the next round immediately begins.
At every interval between rounds the player must of course provide additional money to the device. For the purposes of this invention, this provision of money may come in different ways. First, the player may actually insert cash or credit markers into the device through slot 22, as described for the start of the game above. That will be necessary when the monetary value of the player's accumulated credits declines to a level below the amount the player wishes to bet. Alternatively, if the player has accumulated credits of sufficient monetary value, the player may "provide money" simply by indicating through the appropriate buttons what denomination and how much of that denomination he or she wants to bet, and the device will deduct the designated amount from the accumulated CREDIT total as described. Of course, the player can do both before any hand--actually add cash or credit markers, which will immediately show up as additional CREDIT at 16, and then wager some or all of the accumulated credits.
Ongoing play is further illustrated in FIG. 3. In the situation illustrated, the player has previously played a number of rounds, and through the combination of different denominations and various winning and losing hands, has accumulated a credit of $43.90. At this particular point, the player has selected $1.00 as the desired denomination for the next round and he or she is betting five units ($5.00). Since $43.90 does not represent an integral number of $1.00 units, the remaining fractional unit ($0.90) is shown as the RESERVE 18.
A still further stage in the play of the game is illustrated in FIG. 4. At this point, the player's accumulated deposits and winnings equal $22.90 and the player has designated $0.50 as the current denomination for the forthcoming round at 28. $22.90 in half-dollar units represents 45.8 units, which is represented as a CREDIT of 45 units at 16 and a RESERVE of $0.40 (80% of $0.50) at 18. Also illustrated at 28 is the player's indication that he or she is wagering 10 half-dollar units ($5.00) on the next hand.
The play thus progresses from round to round, with the player being given the option (by repeated regeneration of a screen equivalent to that of FIG. 1) to change the wager denomination as well as the number of units of that denomination to be wagered for the subsequent round, and to increase credits available by inserting cash or markers.
The device also preferably includes means such as button 38 for the player to indicate at the end of any round that he or she wishes to be paid out for either the total accumulated credits or, if the hand played was a winner, for the payout for that particular hand. This is an interim payout, not associated with the termination of the game described below. The appropriate amount of coins will then be dispensed into a collection bin (not shown) and the player may continue with the next round, inserting additional cash or markers into the device if necessary.
The representation of denominations shown in FIG. 1 is not meant to be limiting, and higher denominations (such as $50 or $100 denominations) can be displayed. Optionally one can include in the system the capacity for the denomination display to be changed by the player before indicating the wager, so that the player may shift to much larger or smaller denomination bets as part of the playing strategy with the progress of the game. Thus, the buttons 30 could be programmed so that if one is pushed before one of the buttons 24 is pushed, the appropriate system software or circuitry causes the denominations illustrated to be increased or decreased by predetermined amounts or by a predetermined factor, such as multiplication by 100. For instance, in the example shown, a 100-fold change would increase the denominations from a range of 5¢ to $1.00 to a new range of $5.00 to $100.00. Similarly, the system can provide means, such as a dual functionality of button 32, to change the denomination display to monetary units of various countries. Thus, if button 32 is pushed sequentially while the denomination screen is displayed, it changes through a predetermined display sequence of national currencies. When the desired national currency is displayed, the player uses a button 24 to select the desired denomination, and the system software or circuitry shifts button 32 to its DEAL function. Thereafter the player then returns to buttons 30 to indicate the number of units of that denomination to be wagered as described above.
When the number of credits available to the player through the combination of deposits of money and game outcomes drops below a single unit value of denomination being played, the player must terminates the game and cash out or select a lower wagering denomination. The CREDIT indication at 16 will then change accordingly. Thus, if the player has been wagering at a one-dollar denomination, and the dollar credit total drops to $0.95, the player may select, for instance, to change to the nickel denomination, whereupon the CREDIT indication will change to register nineteen credits available.
If the player decides to voluntarily terminate the game with any credits (full or partial) remaining, he can indicate that choice by pressing the appropriate button between rounds of a game before any denomination designation is made. For instance, button 32 could be programmed so that in addition to the national currencies that button 32 sequences through, an additional choice in the sequence would be TERMINATE. The apparatus would be programmed to then pay out in coins or markers the total monetary amount of the player's remaining accumulated credits, including any fractional RESERVE credit.
The above description has been given in terms of a video card game exemplified by five-card draw poker. It will be recognized that a number of other card games can also be simulated electronically and displayed on the screen 6 with an appropriate layout of control panel 8 to allow the necessary indications of betting and game play. Typical games which can be represented include other forms of poker, "21" (including its variant blackjack), and the like. The displays generated will of course differ in accordance with the rules of the particular game being played. For instance, as shown in FIG. 5 an initial "21" screen will show the player's two dealt cards 40 and the dealer's face-up and face-down cards 42. As the play progresses additional card representations 40a and 42a, as shown in phantom, may appear as determined by the rules and play of the game. The system will be programmed so that as play progresses cards also will appear face-up or face-down as determined by the game rules.
The device's circuitry, or preferably computer programming software, will be designed such that all necessary rules of the game are recognized by the system and applied correctly as the game progresses. This will include recognizing the proper deck to be used (for instance, with or without jokers), "shuffling" the deck, dealing in correct order through the deck, and remembering and not repeating the cards which have already been played in a hand. Such circuitry and software are presently available and are used in the prior art machines; they are equally suitable here. The difference with the present invention is not the play of the game, but the unique wagering capabilities presented to the player.
It will be evident that there are numerous embodiments of these novel card gaming devices which, while not specifically described above, are clearly within the scope and spirit of the invention. The above description is therefore intended to be exemplary only and the scope of the invention to be limited solely by the appended claims.

Sharon Samuels, widow of platinum-selling record producer Patrick 'Roach' Samuels, has launched a record label called Patron House Production, in honour of her late husband.
According to Samuels, the label was Roach's idea before he was brutally killed in 2013.
The widow says the label was registered in the United States, however, Roach passed away before he was able to sign his first artiste.
"Before my husband died, we had many plans for our future and the future of our families. The sky was no limit for us. We were about to start our journey in reaching for the stars. He decided that even though we had different production companies, we should have something together that would unite husband and wife, not mine or his, but ours. We played around with many names and he came up with Patron House Production. Patron simply meant Sheron and Patrick, as he took 'Pat' from Patrick and 'Ron' from Sheron, head and tail to form one body," She told The STAR.
Samuels reveals that she was not very functional as a result of her husband's death and was unable to launch the record label on her own until now.
"After his passing, I gave up all hope. I felt lost without him and was at a very low point in my life. With the support of my family, good friends and the memory of mine and my husband's love for this company and music, I was brought back to reality. I have decided to move forward with the company and run it the way my husband would have. Integrity, enthusiasm, full of energy and quality production is what my husband was all about. I know that even though he's not here with me in the flesh, he's still with me in spirit and so we will continue the path to success," she said.
Sharon hopes the label will bring as much international success as Roach achieved under his partnership with Justus Arison of JA Productions. The production duo was basking in the success of the 'Overdrive' rhythm which featured a single with hip-hop heavyweight rapper Nicki Minaj.
Roach also had success as a solo producer with his 'Siren' rhythm which featured Sean Paul's platinum-selling single called Breakout.
"Look out in the months ahead. We will be bringing you international music with a twist. His hard work, perseverance, determination and goodwill have been bestowed upon me to carry on. He journeyed from, Time Travel to JA Productions, to his last calling, Patron House Production," the widow said.
For further information on the record label, persons can contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Committee received a presentation from Carol Squires, who lead Business Development, International Trade and Policy for Surrey Chambers of Commerce. Surrey Chambers of Commerce was one of 53 accredited Chambers in the UK. She informed Members that she worked with a team of ten members to provide services to help ensure that businesses grew in the area.
The Chamber currently had 1,500 members and affiliate members in Surrey. It had an increasing membership and a growing suite of services. The organisation also placed a lot of importance on working in partnerships to help businesses become aware of what support was available. It also placed importance on helping businesses on their journey, from start-ups to the large international companies.
A quarterly economic survey was conducted nationally, with the results released in the quarterly economic report. The results could be drilled down to regional, county and district results, which enabled the assessment of performance against competitors and provided a useful business development tool.
The Chamber's reputation for networking was recognised, with over 5,000 businesses having walked through its networking events in the last year.
It was reported that there were over 4,200 businesses in Surrey Heath and the Chamber worked closely with the Council's Economic Development team. Ms Squires noted the importance that was placed on commercial development of Camberley and the work carried out by Collectively Camberley Business Improvement District. The work undertaken by Siemens in local schools was also highlighted as a notable example of partnership work taking place in the borough.
The Committee was informed that in Surrey Heath there was a strong focus on international trade and it was reported that over the last 3 years there had been an increase in exporting activity.
The Committee was informed that 6 years ago the Chamber had worked with Tomlinscote School to launch the country's first Young Chamber. This had since been copied across the country. It continued to be carried out by Tomliscote School.
It was reported that the programme for start-up businesses, which had been launched in June 2015 using investment from the Council, had been very successful. The Chamber had facilitated 30 fully booked start-up clinics where new businesses had received signposting information, assistance with business plans, and follow up support.
RESOLVED to note the presentation.

I sure hope these are not overage players.
Some of those kids do not look not U-13.
The disrespect to say these kids are above their age is sad. Especially when kia has multiple age groups (3) and has no need to shove a bunch of overage players on a team. They have been developing and succeeding as a result of pure dedication, hard work, and foresight, and to have an iranian of all people insinuate that they are overage as his first reaction is just sad.
I was so annoyed by these Belgian people who were having doubts about our players age. I wasn't expecting to see these comments here.
Take a look at the other teams first. Almost every team has a few players whom look older because they have developed earlier.
This was Lukaku at the age of 13
We thank and support Mr. Kamran Delan for many years of dedication and service to Iranian Football Community.
I have a 12 year old son who is 6 foot , kids just develop at different ages. I had full facial hair at 13 and looked about 18, it's just what it is. I work in education and most the children these days tower over me and look way older than they are.
Mehdi Mahdavikia wouldn't ruin his reputation to do a thing such as that when he is trying to change the Iranian set up , it would just go against what he is doing.
I am loving seeing how well we are doing against this very established European youth teams.
Disgusting comments by some to pick on these kids like that.
Kia isn't that kind of guy.
He and his team have scouted all around Iran for these kids, and if you think they're not gonna pick the more physically imposing kids, you're delusional.
U15 was also participating

Stocking rate effects on intensive-early stocked Flint Hills bluestem range
Authors: C. E. Owensby, R. Cochran, and E. F. Smith
Date: 1988
Journal: Journal of Range Management
Volume: 41
Number: 6
Pages: 483-487
Summary of Methods: Owensby et al. examined the effects of increasing the stocking rate on intensive-early stocked pastures, in the Flint Hills of Kansas, by applying stocking rates that were 2, 2.5, and 3 times the recommended season-long stocking rates. Grass standing crop decreased with increasing stocking rate in July, however, this difference was not apparent in October standing crops, indicating that all tested stocking rates were sustainable. Percent of composition and basal cover of the major dominants changed little during the study period. Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) appeared to be adversely affected, particularly at the higher stocking rates. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) was favored by the 3X rate. Botanical composition of big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) increased under the 2X rate but did not change under the higher rates. Stocking rate did not affect individual steer gains overall. Because of the higher stocking rates, gain per hectare was significantly increased. Livestock type apparently had a significant impact on steer gains.
Article Summary / Main Points: None
Vegetation Types:
MLRA Ecoregions:
Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones Rangelands Wildlife
Article Review Type: Refereed
Article Type: Experimental Research
Keywords: big bluestem, andropogon gerardii, little bluestem, andropogon scoparius, grazing system, stocking rate, livestock gain, species composition
Annotation: Each year from 1982 through 1987 on May 1, six 24.3-ha pastures were stocked with yearling steers at stocking rates of 0.47, 0.57, and 0.70 ha per steer (3X, 2.5X, and 2X, respectively) were applied in duplicate on the 6 study pastures which were burned in late April each year. The recommended season-long stocking rate for steers of that size is 1.41 ha for the 5-month grazing season which begins in late April to early May. Each year grass and forb standing crop was estimated at livestock removal in mid July and again in October by clipping 10, 0.4-m2 plots to ground level.

A special train carrying water arrived in the northwestern neighbourhood of Villivakkam near Chennai, India on Friday afternoon from a railway station 217 km away, bringing relief to the desperate people of this city, which has been heavily affected by an unprecedented water crisis.
It is said that wayback in 2001 water was moved from Erode in trains to meet the demands of the city.
The train of hope: this is how the convoy of 50 tank wagons full of water arriving in Chennai is considered by the population. NDTV delivers reliable information across all platforms: TV, Internet and Mobile.
The train is expected to reach Villivakkam around 2.00 pm where it will be inaugurated by Tamil Nadu ministers, officials said.
The first consignment will be taken to a water treatment centre, and then distributed in trucks to different parts of the metropolis on Saturday. While one will be stationed near Jolarpet, another will be housed at the Avadi railway yard, according to sources.
While the Cholavaram (full capacity 1,081 mcft) and Redhills (full capacity 3,300 mcft) reservoirs and Chembarambakkam lake (full capacity 3,645 mcft) that supply water to Chennai have run dry, 16 mcft water is left in the Poondi reservoir (against a full capacity of 3,231 mcft), according to the Chennai Metro Water. It will take more than three hours to fill 2.5m litres of water into the wagons, officials said, adding it depends upon the availability of wagons, engines and tracks.
The Chennai Metro Water will be charged Rs 7.5 lakh for reach trip with the state government allotting Rs 65 crore for the project.
The government, however, has assured the residents that it would ensure a minimum supply of 525 million litres every day against the required 830 million litres a day till November when the monsoon would set in.
Authorities blame four parched drinking water reservoirs outside Chennai and inadequate monsoon a year ago for the water scarcity. For the water-starved city of Chennai, the promised 10 MLD of water, was a necessary intervention to battle the ongoing crisis.
