About MY ASEAN Internship
The MY ASEAN Internship programme is a new and exciting collaboration between the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and Talent Corporation Malaysia (TalentCorp). The internship programme is designed to address the need for building greater regional partnership, providing work opportunities and facilitating the movement of young talents across the region. It also promotes the ASEAN spirit across all levels of the community, including students.
As a supporting organisation, the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) will now provide opportunities for students from ASEAN member states who are currently enrolled in, or have just graduated from Malaysian universities to undertake an internship in the SC. The MY ASEAN Internship programme will commence in July 2015 and run for a minimum period of 10 weeks.
All international permit approvals related to the programme will be facilitated by TalentCorp.
The SC's Internship Experience
The MY ASEAN Internship in the SC will expose the ASEAN interns to practical aspects in the development of the products, policies and regulations of the Malaysian capital market. ASEAN interns will be able to understand the SC's goals, principles and activities, and benchmark it with other capital market regulators regionally and globally. Interns will also be coached and mentored by senior staff of the SC. They will benefit not only through gaining new technical knowledge, but also through active involvement in projects that will develop their managerial capabilities. As an organisation that takes pride in its performance-driven culture, interns will be provided with intellectual and stimulating tasks from their SC supervisors.
The ASEAN interns will be attached to a department relevant to their course of study, skills and experience. With assistance from the SC officers and under their supervisor's guidance, ASEAN interns will be responsible for carrying out research and analysis, assisting in drafting policies and guidelines, and other operational duties.
At the end of the programme, the ASEAN interns will be required to undertake a performance review with their respective supervisors and managerial representatives, who will then provide them with a performance feedback.
However, life in the SC is not just all work and no play! The ASEAN interns will have the opportunity to enjoy free sports and gym facilities in the SC as well as participate in interdepartmental sports competitions, CSR initiatives and company gatherings. In addition, TalentCorp will organise several ASEAN-themed activities and competitions for interns who successfully commence and complete the MY ASEAN Internship programme.

really long awkward pause
CONS: I have no super powers and have recently accepted the fact that there's probably too much dirt on me to run for office... ever... which makes me sad. PROS I've always made movies. At first they starred action figures and my neighbors, but lately they don't seem to suck as much. For a day job I write and develop comedy film/tv projects. My hope is to produce and direct full time. Please feel free to hit me up with any questions, ideas or projects. Thanks for watching!! -Chris email@example.com

It was also a vintage which drew attention to some of the country's top producers – only the best were able to handle the challenging conditions in the vineyard and cellar and still make good wine.
"It was an important vintage for us to have because anyone with skill came through ok," said Tessa Brown, winemaker at Mornington Peninsula's Kooyong, speaking to db about the effect of 2011.
"2011 has encouraged people to follow the good producers," she continued.
She also said that it has helped dismantle the myth that all Australian harvests are similar.
"I hope from 2011 people will get the idea of vintage variation, that it's part of our story," she added.
As for the stylistic impact, Brown believes the lighter and higher acid whites that were made in 2011 will have a long future, particularly the Chardonnays.
"2011 Chardonnay [in Mornington] is likened to Chablis, and the 2011s are probably the closest we have made to something Burgundian… I would love to see what people will be saying about 2011 in 4-5 years time when the wines have some bottle age," she said.
Similarly, Michael Hill-Smith MW, co-owner at Shaw + Smith in the Adelaide Hills likened 2011 to whites from northern Burgundy.
"In 2011 we had rain and it was cold, and there was a race between rot and ripening, and the rot won," he began.
As a result, he made no Pinot Noir or Shiraz, and one tenth of the normal quantity of Chardonnay.
But, speaking of the latter grape in this vintage, he said, "If 2010 Chardonnay was more Meursault, then 2011 was more Chablis."
He also said, "We made terrific Sauvignon Blanc – everyone loved the skinnier style."
Explaining further the impact of 2011's conditions in the Adelaide Hills, Brian Croser of Tapanappa, which uses Chardonnay grapes from Croser's Tiers Vineyard in the Piccadilly Valley, put some numbers to the vintage.
"If 1172ºC is the average heat summation – which is the same as Burgundy – then in 2011 it was 1050ºC, which is very Chablis-esque.
Meanwhile, in the Yarra Valley, De Bortoli's Steve Webber was full of praise for the whites.
"2011 I think is the best Chardonnay vintage for at least 10 years – the 2011s have a lovely purity about them and I think it will prove a lovely vintage."
Supporting this view, Andrew Browne, export manager at Geelong's Scotchmans Hill said, "When we first bottled our Chardonnay 2011 I thought we couldn't release it to the trade because it was too lean and acidic, but now it is fantastic and it's the first harvest we haven't had to adjust the acidity."
The poor weather did not affect all parts of Australia however. Western parts of the country were not subject to the rains, while McLaren Vale, in the south, "dogded a bullet", according to Andrew Locke, winemaker for Rosemount.

Krysten Ritter joined Anna Paquin on the red carpet yesterday evening for the season 5 premiere of 'True Blood' at the ArcLight Cinema Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California.
The actress wore an Alexander McQueen dress.
Her LBD with a twist had a slashed neckline, a thigh-high split and patent leather trims.
Opting to go head-to-toe black like Anna, Krysten added Jimmy Choo strappy sandals, a Jimmy Choo 'Tube' clutch and David Yurman jewelry with black onyx stones to her red-carpet look.
A low ponytail and pink lips provided the finishing touches.

On 16 February 2016, the use of predictive coding software in the e-disclosure process was explicitly approved for the first time by an English court. This endorsement is good news for parties involved in document-heavy cases - predictive coding could lead to significant costs savings by reducing the need for armies of paralegals to conduct manual searches.
Standard disclosure
In Pyrrho, the parties had been ordered to give standard disclosure, i.e. to disclose those documents supporting or adversely affecting the case of any of the parties to the dispute. Parties are required to conduct a "reasonable search" (bearing in mind the circumstances of the case and the overriding objective to deal with cases justly and at proportionate cost) for documents falling under these categories. Here the Claimants possessed three million potentially relevant electronic files. In view of the costs of manually reviewing these documents, the parties agreed that predictive software should be employed in the Claimants' e-disclosure exercise but felt it necessary to seek formal approval from the court.
What is predictive coding?
Predictive coding refers to document categorisation/selection for relevance undertaken by proprietary computer software rather than humans. The software analyses documents and "scores" them for relevance to the issues in the case. Crucially, the cost does not increase at the same rate as the number of documents to be reviewed increases – doubling the number of documents does not double the cost, as it would with human review. A senior lawyer familiar with the issues in the case trains the software by marking a representative sample of documents in the case relevant or irrelevant. This enables the software then to categorise each document in the set. The results of this exercise are then validated by further rounds of manual review, and the results fed back into the software. If the relevance of a document was incorrectly assessed at the first stage, all the documents depending on it are themselves then re-assessed. At the end of the exercise, the software sorts all of the remaining documents into "Relevant" /"Not Relevant". The "Relevant" documents are then reviewed by the legal team for significance to the case and privilege.
In a document-heavy case, a party will engage a technology provider to process and host the documents on a database so it can manually review them. These costs (which can be significant) will still be incurred where a party opts to use predictive coding software. But in our experience the software itself is inexpensive by comparison: employing the predictive software to analyse the three million potentially relevant documents in Pyrrho might have added in the region of £30,000 in software cost.
For a proper comparison between the manual and predictive coding processes, one must also factor in the human costs of training the software and reviewing the documents classed "Relevant". But as the court observed, whilst the number of documents that have to be manually reviewed in a predictive coding process may be high in absolute number, it will still only be a small proportion of the total that would have been reviewed in a case such as Pyrrho. So the costs overall should be considerably lower.
The court cited a number of reasons for approving the use of predictive coding software. It held that:
- experience in other jurisdictions had shown that the software can be useful in appropriate cases, and there was no evidence to show that its use leads to less accurate disclosure being given than manual review
- in fact, there would be greater consistency in using the software to apply the approach of a single, senior lawyer towards the initial sample than in using large numbers of lower grade fee earners each seeking independently to apply the relevant criteria to individual documents
- a manual review of the vast numbers of documents in Pyrrho would be unreasonable, at least where a suitable automated alternative exists at lower cost
- there was nothing in the Civil Procedure Rules or Practice Directions prohibiting the use of such software (indeed PD 31B.25 envisages the use of keyword searches or other automated methods of searching if a full manual review would be unreasonable)
- the estimated costs of using the software were proportionate since the value of the claims made in the litigation were in the tens of millions of pounds
- the use of predictive coding software would therefore promote the overriding objective
The Pyrrho case was heard by consent and so the court did not have to consider contrary arguments which may yet appear in future cases. That is presumably why the court observed that approval for predictive coding software in future cases would depend on the particular circumstances obtaining in them. But this is a welcome step forward and we recommend that where parties feel that their case may be appropriate for predictive coding - having regard to quantum and the volume of potentially relevant documents - they seek to agree on its use at an early stage, subject to court or arbitral tribunal approval as required. In civil litigation, such negotiations would, in any event, be consistent with the obligation on parties under PD31B.8 and 9 to discuss the electronic disclosure process in advance of the first case management conference.

The story of Command & Conquer 4 takes place after the events of the critically acclaimed Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. The year is 2062 and humanity is at the brink of extinction. With only six years left until the mysterious crystalline structure Tiberium renders the earth entirely uninhabitable, the two opposing factions – Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod – inevitably find themselves in desperation for the same cause: to stop Tiberium from extinguishing mankind. The unthinkable becomes reality and Nod's enigmatic leader Kane takes off for GDI headquarters. What is Kane planning in the heart of his enemies' base? Command & Conquer 4 draws the epic conclusion to the beloved Tiberium universe, where fans will learn the fate of Earth, Nod, Tiberium, GDI and most importantly, Kane's motivations behind his decade-long plan.
In addition to the two campaigns on the epic battles of GDI and Nod, which players will get to conquer alone or in a cooperative mode, Command & Conquer 4 will also feature a new 5v5 objective-based multiplayer mode, promoting teamwork and cooperation and delivering a social real-time-strategy experience never seen before in a Command & Conquer game.
Q: Will C&C4 use the SAGE engine?
A: C&C4 is built upon the same engine as Red Alert 3, with many additional improvements. More information on the advancements made to the engine will be forthcoming.
Q: Will there be any base building in C&C4?
A: The defense class can indeed lay out a full base, which includes a wide array of different assault and support structures.
Q: Will C&C4 include upgrades?
A: Yes! All classes in C&C4 have a wide array of upgrades available to them. This includes global upgrades and upgrades achieved through other means.
Q: Has the pathfinding been improved in C&C4?
A: A significant amount of additional code work has been undertaken to ensure that pathfinding in the presence of ten large Crawlers will not fail under extremely stressful circumstances. The pathfinding team continues to refine the pathfinder on a week-by-week basis.
Q: If I'm facing a higher-level player, will their units be more powerful than mine?
A: Absolutely not. As players progress in levels, they will unlock units, structures, and upgrades that allow them to affect the game world in different ways. New units change the counter scheme or how the opposing player must use their units. Higher-tier units are not simply lower-level units with increased attack power. Consequently, a low-level player will have everything necessary to counter any unit in the game.
Q: Will there be epic units, similar to Kane's Wrath? Are the Crawlers epic units?
A: While there are many powerful and earth-shattering units in C&C4, all units ascribe to the counter scheme and can be defeated quite handily by even a low-level player's arsenal. While all Crawlers gain weaponry, the power of the Crawler is in its ability to produce units and structures, and you will find that they should not be left unprotected for long.
Command & Conquer 4 is being developed at EA Los Angeles and will ship to retailers in 2010 for the PC.

From braiding the horsetails to polishing the horseshoes to unveiling the JumboTron, organizers scrambled Monday to set up for the Junior League of Lexington's 76th annual Charity Horse Show, this week at the Red Mile.
About 800 horses from the United States and Canada will compete to prove they're more than just clever names in the first of three horse shows that make up the Saddlebred Triple Crown. The other two shows are at the Kentucky State Fair in August and the American Royal in Kansas City, Mo., in November.
The Junior League show is the largest outdoor show for the American Saddlebred in the world, according to its Web site.
The show raises more than $4 million for charitable organizations, including the American Heart Association and God's Pantry, and generates $5 million for merchants in Central Kentucky each summer, according to the organizers. The championship is Saturday night.
Hard at work Monday in the stables, horse trainers and groomers said the preparation for a horse show is a labor of love.
"It's all about work," Slim Richardson said as he held the harness of Harlem's Worldly Lady. "We focus on the horses. That's the most important part. You've got to focus on your work when you're in places like this. You've got to take care of your horses."
Richardson and Juan Rodriguez groomed the 8-year-old horse from Ruth Gimpel Stables in Lutz, Fla. The duo painted the horse's shoes and untangled her tail.
The cleaning is a constant process in the days leading up to the competitions, Rodriguez said.
J.P. Chesser, one of four people in charge of nine horses from Pleasantview Farm in Simpsonville, said he prefers to braid the horses' tails instead of letting them hang freely.
"It shows that you care more," Chesser said. "It shows you're making more of an effort."
Organizers zipped around in golf carts, hauling everything from saddles to giant screens.
In his 14th year working "behind the scenes" and his second year as manager, Kent Moeller said setup for the shows is tough to manage because everything is portable.
"We try to make it look nice, and, as we know, the Red Mile has some age on it," Moeller said. "It's challenging. But we get it done."

'Insufficient' Dartmoor prisoner workshop places
An annual report into Dartmoor Prison has revealed that there are insufficient workshop placements for prisoners.
The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) said prisoners had opportunities to attend courses in bricklaying, carpentry, plastering and painting.
But sometimes workshops were too full to give a "realistic experience" of work.
No-one was available to comment from the Prison Service.
The report also highlighted the "courage" shown by officers when facing hostile situations and said it was pleased with the skills of many staff in managing challenging prisoners.
Dartmoor Prison is a category C prison with 514 adult male inmates, including 25 serving life sentences.
The IMB said in the report that it had raised concerns in the past that Dartmoor did not have sufficient employment to enable all who wanted to work to do so.
'Poor workplace habits'
The report said: "One problem is that in some workshops a larger number of prisoners are sent than can be fully occupied for the time that they are there.
"This means that they do not have a realistic experience of the workplace and may learn poor workplace habits.
"Another is that prisoners arrive within a few weeks of their release date and move on and off courses quickly."
Discussions were taking place to further develop the horticulture programme in partnership with the Eden Project, said the report.
Margaret Blake, from the IMB, said giving work to prisoners reduced reoffending.
"It costs a lot of money to keep a man in prison and if he comes out as likely to offend as he went in then as a taxpayer it is very poor value for money."
The Storybook Dad project was highlighted by the report as a "continuing success".
Storybook Dad, a charity based in Dartmoor Prison, helps inmates record and edit a bedtime story, which is then sent home to their children.
John Handcock, of the Prison Officers Association, said staff at the prison did a "remarkable job" and the report was aimed at the heads of the Prison Service.

October 18: Manistee:
Huron Daily Tribune (Bad Axe, Michigan)
Manistee (UPI)- What is three times the size of a jumbo 747 jet, the shape of an X-15 experimental rocket, and has rotating red, green and white lights?
The entire Manistee County Sheriff's Department Thursday night insisted they were eyewitnesses to a display of five...UFOs.
"There was a big bright light in the east...two objects coming from the south...red, white and green lights something like an airplane...graveling together towards the light...back and forth" said Sheriff's Deputy Neil Renne.
Renne said the objects, which were not discernable as common sights, sat hovering in the sky over this northern Lake Michigan community for nearly an hour.
Deputy John Giplczik, who was dispatched to the city airport to get a closer glimpse of the flashing sights, said one came within one half mile of the ground as if to land.
"It looked like the experimental Air Force rocket, but much larger," he said.
"It looked like it was going to land and then there was a real dead silence."
A local citizen, sho asks to not be indentified, said the UFOs kept changing colors and four of them seemed to drift westward over Lake Michigan.
"It was really something," Giplczik said. "Anyone who doesn't believe in UFOs is stupid."

More than 40 years ago, the UN General Assembly adopted UN decision 33/426 which invited "interested member states" to undertake UFO research on a national level and to inform the secretary general about their findings. In this interview, Exopolitics Germany coordinator Robert Fleischer talks with US-journalist Lee Speigel about his personal involvement in that United Nations decision - it was actually him who had brought leading UFO experts together to present their findings at the UN Special Political Committee, supporting Grenada's Prime Minister Sir Eric Gairy in his initiative to bring the subject to the attention of the world. However, as British and German government files recently revealed, Grenada's UFO initiative wasn't welcome at all and certain parties tried to prevent it by any means...

"He would like to leave, because he has had a good offer, but the president [majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov] is asking for more money. The right price is always between the asking price and the bid price."

The BBC has embarked upon a major restructuring of its film production activities that will see BBC Films cease to exist in its current form as a dedicated movie unit separate from the rest of the pubcaster.
BBC controller of fiction Jane Tranter, who already oversees BBC Films, is understood to be planning to take more direct control of the film operations.
Although many details of this transition are yet to be resolved, BBC Films likely will move from its separate office in central London back to BBC Television Center in west London, where it will be integrated into Tranter's fiction department.
It's unclear whether BBC Films topper David M. Thompson will accept a different, and possibly diminished, role within this new structure or choose to move on after 12 years at the helm.
Responding to questions about whether the more integrated film operation would still have its own dedicated legal, biz and production team, Tranter said: "I envisage a group of people as dedicated to film as they are now, but more within earshot."
Jane Wright, head of rights and commercial affairs at BBC Films, will be switching to a different role, although still exclusively focused upon film. The position of Isabel Begg, head of legal and business affairs, is reportedly unresolved.
BBC Films head of production Suzy Liddell, in charge of budgets and physical production, has already accepted a larger job as head of production across the Beeb's entire drama slate.
Although BBC Film's annual $20 million budget for film development and production will remain in place within Tranter's larger drama budget, the BBC's promise to increase its film investment by another $10 million this year, with a further rise again in 2008, looks increasingly unlikely to be fulfilled.
That commitment, made last year in a joint memorandum of understanding with the U.K. Film Council, was contingent upon the British government awarding to the BBC a hefty rise in its license fee funding. However, the pubcaster received a lower increase than it was hoping for, straining all of its budgets.
As word of the changes at BBC Films spread along the Croisette, concerns were raised among producers, financiers and U.S. studio execs that the new configuration could jeopardize the central position of BBC Films within the British movie industry. In recent years, the specialty arms of the Hollywood majors have come to regard BBC Films, along with Film4, as the primary source of high-end Brit projects for them to co-finance.
The current BBC Films slate includes "Revolutionary Road," directed by Sam Mendes and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, co-financed with DreamWorks; Justin Chadwick's "The Other Boleyn Girl," starring Scarlet Johansson, Natalie Portman and Eric Bana, co-financed by Sony and Focus; Julian Jarrold's "Brideshead Revisited," co-financed by Miramax; David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises," starring Viggo Mortensen and Naomi Watts and co-financed by Focus; and Gillian Armstrong's "Death Defying Acts," co-financed by the Weinstein Co.
It remains to be seen if BBC Films will be able to navigate such relationships as successfully when it loses the freedom and flexibility of its separate identity and structure and becomes absorbed within the BBC fiction department. Some industry insiders believe that, in any case, Tranter is skeptical about whether it's appropriate for the pubcaster to invest in such big budget, star-laden international projects.
"BBC Films needs to do two things: to be the first place of excellence for films in the U.K., and to make films that are BBC films," Tranter said.
Regarding whether an integrated unit will have the necessary flexibility for film deals, she said, "It's a different marketplace, a different way of doing business, and the uniqueness of that must be preserved; otherwise, there's no point."
Tranter is one of the BBC's fastest rising execs, and she's highly rated by producers. But even her supporters are concerned that the amount of time she will be able to devote to film will be limited. That she is at the L.A. Screenings, rather than the Cannes Film Festival, is taken by some as an indicator of how thinly stretched she will be.
Reached in L.A., Tranter commented, "It's true that BBC Films and television drama commissioning are moving toward a much closer relationship. The synergy between films and TV echoes that seen in other areas of our industry, and we want to allow for greater cross-pollination."
She explained that she had "not yet worked through exactly how best to achieve this closeness," acknowledging that "the uniqueness of both film and TV needs to be protected."
"The corporation's support of, and investment in, both areas will continue more powerfully than ever," she added. "Both BBC Films and BBC drama are doing very well at the moment … and we hope that linking them more closely together will lead them on to even greater heights of creativity, modernization and excellence."
Thompson could not be reached for comment.

Ugly, I know, and a bit of work, but then we don't need to force people to install a web server. I think it's pretty important that we don't force people to run stuff they don't want. - we should compress html, because lots of people (like me) are using Debian on machines with almost no hard drive. - Lynx and Netscape work with the compressed links (correct me if I'm wrong), and we could use a web server/dwww combination to allow other browsers to work too. - all the documentation isn't going to be HTML anyways - just "book-like" stuff. So what's the big deal anyways. No need to start a flame-war. - the other option would be to leave HTML full uncompressed, which would be easiest Cheers, - Jim

Question:What's your favourite wine?
Answer:It's hard to avoid saying Champagne, although I prefer not to drink it all the way through a meal, so I'm allowing myself a second: great red Burgundy.
Question:What do you like to eat?
Answer:I'm pretty omnivorous, but when eating out I like trying things I can't or wouldn't cook myself. Last year it included fried rabbit ears (yes, chewy) and goose barnacles with caviar (sensational), both courtesy of Ferran Adrià of El Bulli fame. In principle, I love eating local wherever I am in the world, but I never rule out a pilgrimage to a glittering temple of gastronomy.
Question:What's your favourite wine holiday destination?
Answer:My favourite place on earth is the Lot department in south west France. My particular corner of paradise is outside the Cahors wine region, but within spitting distance. Rome is another favourite – and the wines are better than you think, or they can be. And I must go back to Sicily.
Question:Is there a wine that really sticks in your memory?
Answer:There've been eureka moments with the wine world's greats, but one of the most memorable was a much less exalted bottle in a small restaurant in Montauban in France many years ago. It was a Domaine Cauhapé Jurançon Sec, chosen because it was local and I thought it would go with the fish. It was a revelation of precision, clarity and intense and vibrant flavour. I've loved Jurançon and the two Manseng grape varieties ever since.
Question:Other than wine, do you have any secret or not-so-secret passions?
Answer:Dark chocolate. Also insects and amphibians, although I'm emphatically not talking about eating them. I just mean that if I hadn't been diverted by wine and food I like to think I might have been an entomologist or a herpetologist. Somebody's got to.

Capital-bashing is back in style. It used to be considered wise to ascribe all of our ills to out-of-touch elitists who ate quiche, who congregated at what were called ''Georgetown cocktail parties,'' and who didn't know what America was all about.
But Washington has grown in recent years. And so, that Georgetown phrase will no longer do. The Georgetown area of D.C. is only a square mile or two. This year's buzz phrase is ''inside the beltway'' -- that yields 275 square miles to house all those pointy-headed bureaucrats and loaded lobbyists. But the idea is the same: Washington is out of touch, parochial and doesn't know what's going on in the real world -- that is, on farms in Iowa, in factories in the Frost Belt, in supermarkets in the Sun Belt.

Succeeding with Sports Betting in 2017
Succeeding with Sports Betting in 2017
The world of professional sports is as engaging as ever and, in fact, we might suggest that it is more engaging. The rise of digital sports betting and sbo, the proliferation of 24/7 sports news, and the way we are all glued to our screens has given way to an industry titan. Sports betting is here to stay and right now you can consider getting in on it. Of course, it's easy to look at sports betting but it is far harder to actually succeed at it. Whether you are betting on the New York Yankees or the Denver Broncos you are going to need some solid sports tips on your side.
Sports Betting in 2017
Every successful sports gambler is going to start out by taking a long, honest, and hard look at their finances. While we all are certain to win a big bet (we aren't — this was a joke) we need to be realistic with the way we apply our finances to our bankroll. This is your first huge tip: SET YOUR BANKROLL. Establish just how much money you can afford to lose every week of sports betting. Is your number $50? $100? $1,000? Alright, after you've set your weekly bankroll you are going to adjust how much you spend on any given bet. The rule of thumb is to never stake more than 5% to 10% of your bankroll. You don't want to go all in right away and end up riding the bench, right?
Pick Your Sport
Now that you've gotten a handle on your finances you can start getting ready to lay your cash down on the line. We know that there are seemingly countless professional sports out there and most betting websites give you the option to get involved.
With that being said: fade them. Fade all sports that you aren't comfortable with. If you REALLY want to bet on a sport, like hockey for example, you need to know how the game works and who the big names are within said sport. You are wasting your money by trying to keep up with hardened pros who know the ins and outs of the game. So, our first suggestion is to pick a sport you are already familiar with. Failing that, take some time to research a sport that you are interested in gambling on. Research is the backbone of success in the world of gambling.
Be Selective With Your Bets
We are going to close out our discussion on sports betting by imploring you to FOCUS. When you log into your betting dashboard you are going to see countless games available for you to dive into the action. Don't do this. It can be incredibly hard to pass up on all of these opportunities. Still, you are going to want to be selective. There is always more action out there but there is never enough money to bet on it all. Stick to games and tournaments that interest you and that make sense for your bankroll. Don't bet on 16 different NBA games in a sitting. Don't try to take down a golf tournament by betting on every golfer.

Week 17 of MLS action held some remarkable moments. Amidst the slate of games we saw a Dax McCarty and Dwayne De Rosario showdown in New York. A strange goal from a David Beckham PK gave LA the win and we saw one of the greatest soccer rivalries in North America on national television. All in all, a fun weekend of MLS play. Here's your recap.
DC United 1,
Red Bulls 0 New York
The Atlantic Cup was not the only thing at stake during this match-up. Dwayne DeRosario and Dax McCarty, traded between the teams just two weeks prior, were given the opportunity to face the teams that traded them and show them who got the better end of the deal. The New York Red Bulls looked out of sync all night and could not produce the quick tempo passing game they typically do at home. Tim Ream produced another goal line right before half after Charlie Davies had slipped behind him and Greg Sutton in goal to keep the score level. Their best chance of the night came in the 52' when Henry beat DC's Ethan White to a ball that Brandon McDonald let slip past him in a backpass. Henry's shot was bound for the far post corner but Bill Hamid got his fingertips to it with a diving save to his left. However, the highlight of the night was DeRosario's game winning shot in the 61'. Josh Wolf served him a great chipped through ball that he slotted into the far post corner that ricocheted off the post and into the opposite side netting. Although the Red Bulls lost the game at home in front of 22,200 fans, the two teams showed their rivalry to still be alive and well.
Kansas City 1, Chivas 1 USA
Neither team produced much in the way of exciting play through much of the game early on, until a frantic sequence of plays in front of KC's net. They led to a Nick LaBrocca left footed chip that hit off the upper right corner of the post. KC's keeper, Jimmy Nielsen followed the rebound off the post and was able to steal it off an open Mondaini's head, denying Chivas a chance to go up a goal. LaBrocca did get the goal he was looking for later in the game when Justin Bruan fed him a great through ball at the top of the box and LaBrocca calmly slid it past Jimy Nielsen for a 1 goal lead. Chivas' goalkeeper Dan Kennedy came up with 3 incredible saves to keep his team in the lead. However, late in stoppage time KC's Omar Bravo produced an emphatic header that equalized the game and sent the 18,467 fans at
into a frenzy. Sporting KC was able to maintain their 10 game unbeaten streak in league play and continue to push up the Eastern Conference. Livestrong Park
Toronto FC continued their defensive and offensive struggles in
after they fall for the second time on the road in the same week. Houston Houston's Danny Cruz was able to exploit the holes in the defense as he slipped behind for the defense on a quick counterattack in the 50'. Toronto 's keeper, Stefan Frei was able to get a heel on the shot but it still managed to get by him and go into the far netting of the goal. Later in the 80', as he has been doing all season for Toronto Toronto, Frei came up with two more great saves on Houston's Bruin and Clark keeping in the game. However, on the ensuing corner kick, Toronto 's defense failed to properly clear the ball and it fell to the feet of Geoff Cameron who buries it to seal the game with a two goal advantage. Toronto FC can not wait any quicker for July 15 to come so that they can begin to play their two newly signed DPs and hopefully turn the season around and make a late play-off run. Toronto
Lost in the
Seattle and Portland hype of this weekend was the match-up between two Western Conference powerhouses, and FC Dallas. Both teams came into the game looking to make a big statement that they were the top team to beat. The first half was reminiscent of a heavyweight bout where both teams were traded jabs in order to feel each other out. In the second half FC Dallas' Kevin Hartman, typically a rock in their defense, made a very uncharacteristic error on an Andy Williams free kick and had it bounce out of his hands and into the net for a RSL 1 goal lead. In the 85', Real Salt Lake Dallas had a great opportunity to tie the game when a perfectly placed Avilla cross found Break Shea behind the defense in the box. Shea took a great touch to take it down and passed it to an open Jackson, who took an awkward shot on goal that slowly made its way to the net before it was cleared off the line by Salt Lake 's Wingert. Then in the 5th minute of extra time Fabian Espindola continued his late game scoring touch when he took a great through ball from Saborio and tucked away a low left footed shot past Hartman and into the far post side netting. Salt Lake was able to make a big statement to the 17,734 fans in attendance and to the greater league that Rio Tinto is still an intimidating fortress for opposing teams and that they are a tough team to beat. Real Salt Lake
San Jose Earthquakes 0, Union 0 Philadelphia
The much anticipated and hyped derby match-up of the weekend did not fail to entertain. The Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders put on one of the most entertaining displays of soccer in MLS this season to the 18,627 fans at Jeld Wen Field and the number of spectators watching the broadcast around the world.
had a couple of decent chances to go ahead in the first half. A Freddy Montero free kick was saved by Timber's goalkeeper Troy Perkins in the 6' and Alvaro Fernandez found himself behind the defense in the 38' but he too was stopped by Perkins. Kalif AlHassan opened the scoring in the 46' when he put what appeared to be a centering pass right in front of the net and it was deflected into the goal by Seattle 's Jeff Parke. Montero answered about 10 minutes later with a free kick that he tucked over the wall and into the bottom corner of the net that tied the game at 1. In the 69' the Timbers got another shot deflection for a goal, when Jorge Perlazza took a shot from the right side of the box. It deflected off Seattle Seattle's Tyson Wahl and over Kasey Keller for a 2-1 lead for . Portland answered 5 minutes later when Maurio Rosales redirected a cross to the center of the box to Freddy Montero who beat his defender to the ball and placed it in the back of the net, tying the game at 2. In the 81' Seattle 's Lamar Neagle was brought down in the box for a penalty kick earning Eric Brunner a red card. Seattle Seattle's Alonzo stepped to the spot and sent the PK just past the outstretched hand of a diving Troy Perkins for the lead and eventual win for . The Seattle\Portland rivalry seems to be taking shape as the best rivalry in all of MLS and a sure fire entertaining game to watch. Seattle

Sinful Shine x Kylie Jenner 'Komando' nail polish: I had no idea that these were even sold in the UK, so when I found these in Superdrug I was SO excited. I knew Kylie has collaborated with a nail polish brand, but had no idea where it was available to buy. This shade is so pretty and I love it. I'm going to feature this in a nail of the week post soon, so I'll speak about it more then.
MAC False Lashes Extreme Black mascara: When I ordered a MAC lipstick a couple of weeks ago, it let me choose a free sample, so I chose the MAC mascara. I love this mascara and it makes my lashes look really nice. I'm unsure whether I'd purchase the normal size (just yet anyways), but I do really like this and think it's a good mascara.
Sunglasses: I love sunglasses, but I'm not someone who wears them all the time. I tend to end up wearing them on my head most of the time. As I don't like spending a lot of money on them, when I was in Primark I found these and I absolutely love them. They were £3 and I love the colour, the shape, everything. These are really good quality and I think I'll be wearing them loads (but most likely on my head).
SoundCloud: This month I downloaded SoundCloud as I wanted to listen to Pia Mia's songs 'Underneath' and 'Justin Bieber'. As far as I'm aware, they're only available on SoundCloud as I couldn't find them on iTunes or Spotify. Anyway, I got the SoundCloud app and I've really been liking it this month. On YouTube I listen to a lot of mashups and remixes that I can't find on Spotify, but I found them on SoundCloud so I'm really happy. I also found Chris Brown and Ariana's unreleased song ('Don't Be Gone Too Long') on there. I love SoundCloud.
The next 3 I'm listing are ones that I've already written about, but as this post is already so long, I decided to link my posts on them:

Sen. John McCain told reporters on Capitol Hill today that he was currently working on an alternate immigration bill for Republicans to offer instead of President Obama's emergency funding supplement
McCain previewed the legislation for reporters calling the repeal of the Bush-era 2008 trafficking act a "key element" of the bill, which he expected to introduce this afternoon.
When asked about other things he wanted in the bill, Flake told Breitbart News that he wanted to not only change the 2008 trafficking act, but wanted increase funding for the court system and beef up some of the consulates in some of the South American countries where the unaccompanied minors were coming from such as Guatemala and .
McCain also noted that wanted to condition aid to the South American countries based on their cooperation during the crisis.
Sessions agreed that it would be a good idea to repeal the 2008 Trafficking Act, but added that the crisis was easily solved if President Obama wanted to.
Sessions warned his Republican colleagues who were eager to offer alternate legislation to the president's request, pointing out that there was a danger of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Democrats using it to their advantage.
McCain noted that any progress for comprehensive immigration reform would have to wait until the current crisis was over.
"We have to give people confidence that this will stop before we can ever make any progress, and that's the key element," McCain said.

The city's latest plan to revitalize downtown calls for $7 million to be spent over five years to build a park, bulkhead, boat harbor and boardwalk. It is hoped the improvements would draw retail shops, restaurants, perhaps a hotel or residential development.
On paper the plan, known as Victory Landing, looks like it has potential. In the context of existing development in downtown Newport News and the politics associated with past revitalization efforts, it looks like an invitation to a tar and feathering for any council member daring to support it.

European architects and civil engineers succeeded to convert a panel housing block in Hungary into passive homes with a promising future
Climate change is on everyone's lips these days and the European Union, having decided to reduce its CO2-emmissions by at least half by 2050, is no exception. To date, buildings have been among the worst culprits when it comes to "blowing away" energy. Overall, they bear responsibility for 40% of the gross energy consumption in Europe, thus making new and lasting, future-oriented building standards essential. With its sights set on panel housing, the European research project SOLANOVA has decided to directly take on one of the worst offenders in order to show: even these ailing works of concrete can be made into liveable and energy efficient homes. Within four years, panel housing in Dunaújváros was converted into passive homes with a promising future.
Dunaújváros lies approx. 67 kilometres south of Budapest. Named "Stalin-City" under the former Communist government, it became famous for being the greatest steel producer in all of Hungary. From 1950 onward, corresponding working-class housing estates shot out of the ground. Operational, yet unattractive panel houses have characterised the city until now. These poorly insulated, out-dated buildings are large-scale wasters of energy and, due to greatly increasing heating costs, residents themselves bear the brunt. SOLANOVA (Solar Supported, Integrated Renovation of Large Residential Buildings and Heat Supply Systems) has seen German, Hungarian, and Austrian scientists, engineers, and architects joining forces, setting themselves the challenge of renovating / converting a panel house built in 1978 into Europe's first 3-liter passive house of this dimension. Following a careful inspection of technical possibilities and economic feasibility, the conversion was fully implemented within one summer. Today, double and triple paned windows have taken the place of out-dated, leaky ones. On the south side, 75 m² large solar surface was laid out, providing shade as a canopy and currently providing 20 percent of the entire heat necessary. The roof was converted into a green roof by way of applying a 30 to 40 cm thick layer of insulation and a distributed ventilation system was built in. In addition, the building is surrounded by a 16 cm thick thermal mantle. The result is incredible: the entire energy consumption of the seven storey building was reduced by 86 percent! SOLANOVA has thus proved that it is possible to turn the much discussed panel buildings into comfortable buildings of the future.

Welcome to Damp Busters (Australia) Pty Ltd the Australian owned home of DRYZONE and the exciting new DRYROD the WORLD'S LEADING RISING SALT DAMP TREATMENTS.
DRYZONE was developed in the UK in 2000 by Safeguard, and now outsells traditional chemical injection damp-proofing treatments and is the best selling rising salt damp treatment in the world now being sold in 15 countries worldwide including Australia. Damp Busters introduced DRYZONE into the Australian Market in 2003 and since that time we have treated 1,000's of buildings, including heritage listed, with100% success rate.
Now Safeguard have done it again and after over 3 years of intensive research have now released DRYROD damp proofing rods their most powerful rising damp treatment yet. DRYROD damp-proofing rods are patented 12mm diameter grooved rods that carry a powerful water repellent. They are simply inserted into 12mm holes in the mortar lines of a building. The British Board of Agrément and Safeguards own tests show that DRYROD outperforms all competing products on the market.
We are now able to offer you a choice of the World's two leading rising salt damp eradication systems: DRYZONE, which is more suitable for professional application or DRYROD which is suitable for both professional application and DIY.
A recent YouGov poll, carried out on behalf of Safeguard Europe, has found that 38 percent of potential house purchasers would completely withdraw their offer on a house if it was found to have damp issues.
The poll results showed that even those who would continue with the purchase would only do so if the price that was substantially reduced below the original offer.
48 percent of respondents said that they would expect a price reduction with 18 percent expecting a price reduction of 20 percent or more – equating to more than £42,000, based on the June 2016 UK average house price of 213,927.
According to Hudson Lambert, Managing Director of Safeguard Europe the key message that comes from the survey is "Fix damp before selling":
"We already knew that damp was a big turn off for potential house purchasers. However we were still surprised at the degree to which it affected purchasing decisions.
The fact that so many people appear to be willing to walk away from a house purchase or expect a price reduction of tens of thousands of Pounds would indicate that people's perception of the cost and difficulty of dealing with damp problems is overblown.
For this reason, it would seem that most sellers would be best advised to treat any dampness issues before placing their properties on the market as this will allow them to attract the most buyers and achieve the best price."
If you are having problems with damp issues in your property, it is usually easier and less expensive than you might think to solve them. Contact Us to find out more.

Balfour Beatty rejects third Carillion offer
London, August 20, 2014
British engineering company Balfour Beatty on Wednesday rejected Carillion's third merger proposal, saying it failed to address the risks in the deal and only represented a small increase in value.
Carillion had gone public with its latest approach on Tuesday, valuing its rival at 2.1 billion pounds ($3.5 billion), in its bid to create a British construction giant with 80,000 staff around the world.
Both sides said they had made their decisions after consulting Balfour's biggest shareholders. Analysts and one investor had told Reuters on Tuesday they expected Balfour to open talks with Carillion but the group said its board had unanimously rejected the offer.
It said the bid did not address its concerns over the sale of its US design and engineering business Parsons Brinckerhoff and the risks associated with reducing its UK construction business.
The company added that it would not be seeking an extension to the takeover deadline of August 21, which Carillion had requested on Tuesday.
Carillion's third approach offered Balfour shareholders a 58.3 percent share of the combined firm and a cash dividend of 8.5 pence per share.
It said that would value Balfour at 2.1 billion pounds, compared with its previous offer of 1.9 billion pounds.
Balfour - which has endured a difficult 18 months marred by profit warnings - said it would continue to focus on delivering its standalone strategy, including the sale of Parsons Brinckerhoff.
It is still searching for a new group chief executive after Andrew McNaughton's departure in May. - Reuters

LinkedIn announced two new additions to its offering this morning: LinkedIn Targeted Status Updates product and a new follower insight page to help track not only who is following you but who and how your company messages are being shared.
The targeted status updates is a huge step forward for LinkedIn. It is reminiscent of Google + circles except you have more control per each message to filter by industry, seniority, job function, company size, non-company employees, and geography.
Each message shows statistics, similar to Facebook's message insights, highlighting the number of followers in the targeted group and how many impression it received, as well as clicks, shares and the percentage of engagement.
This short video from LinkedIn highlights how you can use targeted status updates with your company page.
In April, LinkedIn opened up these targeted status updates to a select group of businesses before further opening it to its two million business users today. One of these companies was Philips who, in the short time using this tool for its daily communications, found a 106% increase in engagement by its followers.
Even more exciting for both groups and businesses, is the insights page. Even if you aren't the administrator of a group, you are able to see a breakdown of members by seniority, function, location and industry. Here's one of Econsultancy's groups pages:
This should allow users to become more targeted in their messaging based on group demographics and focus on further building them.
What this means for third party providers
Last year, LinkedIn released the APIs for LinkedIn company page management and targeted status updates to a select group of developers including the team at Hootsuite. Gregory Gunn, VP of Business Development at Hootsuite, commented that:
The relationship with LinkedIn team was very collaborative. Linkedin team took feedback to make the platform stronger. We've been Beta testing over the past eight months and giving feedback to the LinkedIn team who used it to make the platform stronger.
LinkedIn is the third most popular network for Hootsuite and today's new update allows users to post to both their individual account and to their company pages with targeted status updates to soon follow. This will be a great relief to their customers, especially in recruiting and B2B, who have been asking for advanced functionality with an open LinkedIn page management solution.
Hootsuite is primarily a B2B product so today's LinkedIn product launch will only strengthen its own product. According to Gunn, this move is making LinkedIn sync further with how businesses interact with their customers now:
In more traditional industries like financial services, they are very comfortable with the LinkedIn platform. Our transition to allow posting to LinkedIn company pages allows companies to be thought leaders and interact with customers as the company instead of as individuals within the organization.
What do you think of these new product advances? How will these changes affect how you use LinkedIn?
Comments (3)
Wow! Great developments, see the video on targeted status. I am a great fan of LinkedIn for recruitment, connecting with suppliers and clients, and use it way more than Twitter or Facebook, but has now got even better.
Thank you for sharing this information with us, it is very helpful to know.
Great. Now, if they could do something about the annoying and all too often unrelated job posting spam in every group discussion which makes reading the updates a tedious slog!

Hard Copy Printing with Graphics- Alyce http://alycesrestaurant.com/
Table of Contents
For another look at this subject, See Rod Bird's article.
Hard copy printing limitations
Liberty BASIC does not permit text to be LPRINTed and graphics to be PRINTed on the same sheet of paper. If text and images must be printed together, the text must be printed on a graphicbox or in a graphics window along with the images, then sent to the printer with the graphics PRINT command.
#win.graphicbox "print"
Liberty BASIC 4.01 introduced a new, optional parameter to the graphics PRINT command that allows the programmer to specify the screen resolution to translate to the printed page. The choices are
- Custom Pixel Width (expressed as a number)
What do the resolutions mean?The printer resolution is not tied to the current screen resolution. It is not necessary to set the screen resolution to the same resolution used in the PRINT command. The screen resolution can be VGA and graphics can be sent to the printer with the SVGA or XGA resolution, for instance.
A typical sheet of paper is 8.5" by 11". The unprintable margin differs from printer to printer, but a typical margin is one quarter inch on each side, which makes one half inch less printable area for the width ,and one half inch less printable area for the height. Assuming printable area of 8" by 10.5" the size of the printed page as translated to screen pixels is as follows:
- VGA 640 x 840
- SVGA 800 x 1050
- XGA 1024 x 1344
You can specify the number of pixels in the graphicbox that will fill the printed page width, so you MAY match the printed page width size to the width of your graphicbox, if you'd like. To use a custom pixel width:
#win.graphicbox "print 900"
Scaling graphics for the printer.
For the VGA setting, graphics that cover approximately 640 pixels wide by 840 pixels high will print on a single page of paper. Remember, the larger the resolution, the smaller each item prints on the page. A printing demo for VGA is included at the bottom of this article.
Use the numbers for location and dimensions of graphic elements that coincide with the chosen printer resolution. A line that is 640 pixels wide will span the width of a VGA page, but it will only go part of the way across an SVGA page.
GETBMP v PRINT
The graphics command GETBMP only works on the visible area. It cannot capture parts of the image that are beyond the visible boundaries of the graphicbox. This limitation does not apply to printing. The PRINT command prints portions of the graphics that are not visible on the screen, but are contained in the graphicbox.
Font size.
Fonts can be sized in points or in pixels. If you want complete control of the size and position as relates to other graphic elements, then set the size of the font in pixels. If only one number is given in the font command for the size the font is sized in points. If two numbers are given the font is sized in pixels. If the first number is 0 the default width for the font is used.
'font sized in points print #1.g, "font arial 10" 'font sized in pixels, with default width print #1.g, "font courier_new 0 12" 'font sized in pixels, with width specified print #1.g, "font arial 12 30"
Font placement.
Graphic text is located at the current pen position. When the program begins the pen is at 0,0. The text location refers to the LOWER LEFT CORNER of the text. Text printed when the window is first opened is actually printed just above the visible portion of the graphicbox. It is always a good idea to use the PLACE command to position text. Remember that graphics text commands must begin with at least one backslash (or pipes) character.
#1.g "place 20 348" #1.g "\Some text!"
Moving to the next line of text.
Each carriage return moves the pen down the page by the height of the current font. The following code prints a line of text then moves down three lines to print the next line of text.
#1.g "\First line of text." #1.g "\\\Second line is down three lines!"
If you want to keep track of the pen location in the Y direction as text is added to the graphicbox, multiply the number of carriage returns by the height, in pixels, of the font. Add this number to the starting location of the text.
current location = starting location + (font height x number of carriage returns)
Text location with the stringwidth? command.
Use the stringwidth? command to discover if a text string will fit, or use it to center the text. The command retrieves the width in pixels of the string according to the current font. The string of text must be contained in a string variable. Here is an example of usage:
name$ = "Page 1" #1.g "stringwidth? name$ width"
The width in pixels will be contained in the variable "width" after this command is made.
Printing columns.
If you need to print columns of numbers and/or text which must line up, be sure to use a monospaced (fixed-width) font. That is a font in which all characters are the same width. A variable-width font has a different width for each character, so an uppercase 'W' will take up more space than a semicolon, for instance. One example of a fixed-width font is "courier new."
#1.g "font courier_new 0 22"
Flush Caveat
Liberty BASIC users have reported inconsistent printed results when they've issued multiple flush commands. For best results issue all drawing commands, before you issue a single flush command and then print.
Thanks for this advice, Janet.

Printing with MS Paint
All Windows computers have MS Paint installed. You can ask Paint to print graphics. This is done with the RUN command. Paint reads the command line and acts on the instructions it contains. The command line should include the filename of the saved BMP and the "/p" switch that instructs Paint to send output to the printer. Liberty BASIC allows us to specify a mode for running the file. If we include HIDE, Paint will do the work without displaying a window, so it is invisible to the user.
Filenames should be enclosed in quotes so that Paint can properly parse the command line. The ASCII character value for the quotation mark is chr$(34).
The syntax is as follows:
run "mspaint.exe " + chr$(34) + "c:\folder\filename.bmp" + chr$(34) + " /p", HIDE run "mspaint.exe " + chr$(34) + bmpFile$ + chr$(34) + " /p", HIDE
