Omni Slots is a Curacao-licensed online gaming venue which was launched in 2015. The portfolio of 500+ games from a dozen different software developers, among which NetEnt and Microgaming, is accessible to most gamers, though the short list of restricted countries does include the UK and the USA. On top of the 1st deposit match bonus, weekly cashbacks and a VIP program, the Casino also offers their members multiple chances to spin for free.
Welcome Package – 100% up to €300 + 50 free spins
Once a new player opens an account and makes their first deposit of €30 or more, a 100% bonus up to €300 will be awarded automatically.

When it comes to meeting bonus wagering requirements, bets placed on slots will count for 100%, and some of the table games 10%. However, wagering on Roulette, Baccarat, Craps, Sic Bo, Scratch Cards and Live games will not contribute at all. Do note that none of the bonuses offered by Omni Slots are cashable and can only be used for betting purposes.

Emily and Kirk met each other through a blind date, lucky for them - they have friends with awesome taste! These two are not only stunning but also, so incredibly sweet. Watching them together was so darling, you can truly see the sparks fly! When I was chatting with Emily about their engagement session she mentioned wanting to dress up and have a "Black Tie" affair, I couldn't have been more excited. Who doesn't love the chance to get all dolled up with their sweetheart and stroll down oak lined avenues dripping with Spanish moss? We met at the Cypress Grove Estate House in Orlando to document their sophisticated look. Kirk looked dashing in his black suit and tie and Emily was breathtaking in true "Breakfast at Tiffany's" fashion. From the beautiful lake view, to the Spanish moss, to the rose garden this engagement was a perfect example of the couples refined taste and class. No upscale event would be complete without a champagne toast to celebrate the day!

We always keep listening to marketing, Think of what is marketing? May look a little odd, But it is not!! It is a process in which a plan has to started from the beginning, and the need of marketing from a small business man to large companies is needed. After read this article, you will find the answer to every question you have. So, let's start marketing definition.
What Is Marketing? & Marketing Definition
It is a process that helps big companies from every businessman to reach their customers in their products. There are many different definitions of marketing, but the best definition that defines marketing well is that.
Marketing Definition.
"Marketing is a management process that lets your goods or service reach a product by creating a product with a concept." It's called marketing definition.
There are 4 different elements in this process, which we call Four P in Marketing.
Product – Select what you sell.
Price – what will the product cost?
Place – Where your customer will buy that product
Promotion – How do you tell your customer about the product?
Note – This product means both goods and service.
How successful your bussiness is, depends on how well you can use these four elements in your bussiness.
What are you going to sell
To know what you want to sell, you should know what your customer needs, then choose your product according to the customer's needs. You will get more people alive than your product, the more chances you will buy that product from you, tell others, and come again to buy your product again.
Some things to keep in mind while making PRODUCT:
Mass product or customization: Your product is the same for all your customers or you have to customize your product for every customer. Your product is new or already in the market. If your product is new, then you have to tell the people why people need your product. Or if your product is already present in the market, then you have to tell how good or cheap it is to the first ones.
Test it
Made your product according to your customer but did you see the customer's response? Customers often do not buy them because of a small shortage of your product. So you give the product test to the customer and then check their response.
2. Price
How much would you sell your product? The price of your product will have a great effect on the sales of your product. If your product is cheap, then the customer will not feel good quality or you will earn the work advantage, if the product is a mega, then the customer will buy it less. To keep the right price for the product, you should think the cost of making the product, product compititor's price. How much your customer is willing to pay for your product.
3. Place
Where will the customer buy your product? Will you sell the product directly to the customer, or sell it to whole seller or retailer in the middle? If you are about to sell, you will sell it online or offline.
4. Promotion
How people will know about your product. To buy your product, people must first know it, it must be a positive thought about it and people should be ready to buy it, All this depends on how you promote your product. With knowing what marketing is, it is important to know what is the way to promote it. Traditional advertising such as TV, Magazine, Newspaper or Radio. Digital marketing such as PPC advertising, Social media, and SEO. You should try any advertising method, it should be your effort that you can show and sell your product to the maximum number of audience in less money.
What is not marketing?
it is important to know what is marketing with what is not. So, It does not mean sells or selling. Yes, marketing results are only sale when we advertise the product online or offline and branding it and telling people about it. The sales is done by sales department, who are directly selling the product to the customer. The marketers is to branding the product and tell the customers about the product.
Types Of Marketing
- B2B -Business To Business
- B2C -Bussiness To Consumer
1. B2B – Business To Business
In B2B we promote our product to the already made for business. As if talking offline, target the Whole seller who can sell our product. If talking online, then we target websites like B2B websites like IndiaMart, TradeIndia or Alibaba.
2 .B2C- Business To Consumer
In B2C, we target advertisements by direct consumer or customer, for this also, different ways are used in both online and offline.
Marketing Methods
1. Paid Advertising
Paid advertising are uses both Traditional and Digital.
Traditional uses TV, Newspaper, Radio, Magazine and print media. Digital uses PPC (Pay per click) Ads. ads that you see on Facebook, Twitter, Search Engine or Websites.
2. Cause
In Cause marketing companies are promote your product with any social cause or issue.
3. Relationship
In Relationship Marketing companies are a good maintain relation with you and show loyalty by providing good services to them.
4. Word Of Mouth
These marketing depends on what effect you leave on the customer. If you have been giving a good product to the customer, then customer will tell his friends and relatives about it. It is very important in traditional marketing.
5. Transitional
In Traditional Marketing companies are offer customer a shopping coupon, gift card and a discount. This is attracts customers towards the product and also has a sell.
6. Undercover
In undercover marketing, the product is promoted in such a manner that the customer does not know how to advertise companies. This type of marketing also told stealth marketing.
How Marketing Works With Your Business?
Marketing is not a separate process, it works in conjunction with the complete business such as:
- The focus of research and development team should be to create a product that meets your customer's needs.
- Your production team has been able to make the decent fulfiil, and you can make the quality product that you have placed.
- Financial Team is able to decide on the right price of the product and decide on the right price of the product.
- Human resource team is able to hire good people to train and maintain a good image of your company.
- The environment team should take care of your packing as well, as well as being affordable and not affecting the environment.
I hope you have enjoyed this marketing definition article very well. You have got complete information about what is marketing and how it works, If there any question then please comment in the comment box. We will definitely give you the answer. You can get it from here.

Democratic Republic of Congo
breadcrumb navigation:
The challenges and our response
The people of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) have endured decades of civil war, during which 5.4 million Congolese died from violence, hunger and disease. While the war officially came to an end years ago, the eastern region of DRC remains one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis zones.
Violence among armed groups, intercommunity conflicts, land disputes and rampant sexual violence against women and children continue, especially in several zones in the North Kivu. International Medical Corps began working in DRC in 1999 and has since served more than two million people in the country, 80 percent of whom were displaced by the war. Today, we provide primary health care and a range of health services in some of DRC's most remote and volatile areas, often where the presence of other international organizations is extremely limited or non-existent.
Despite continued support over the past six years to reinforce immediate and sustained access to essential and integrated primary health care for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and conflict-affected persons, the humanitarian situation is getting worse.
Health Care: International Medical Corps currently supports 64 clinics and hospitals in health zones of North Kivu, Tanganyika and South Kivu, providing essential drugs, medical supplies, training, and referral and transfer of patients who need specialised care. Our beneficiaries include internally displaced people, Congolese refugees returning home and vulnerable host populations.
Given the considerable gaps in primary health care services in International Medical Corps' area of intervention, we focus on providing a comprehensive and integrated primary care package, including immunisation campaigns, advancement of maternal and child health, and improved environmental sanitation and hygiene practices at targeted health facilities. More than 75% of malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoea cases in International Medical Corps-supported facilities are successfully treated; we continue to support capacity-building within these health centres to ensure that treatment quality remains high.
Sexual Violence Prevention and Treatment: Since 2002, International Medical Corps has helped lead the battle against widespread GBV in war-ravaged eastern DRC. Our complementary USAID-funded Care, Access, Safety & Empowerment (CASE) and Behavior Change Communications (BCC) projects take a comprehensive approach to addressing the needs of GBV survivors, while also preventing future cases by changing community attitudes around gender and violence. In three health zones in DRC, CASE has provided an estimated 36,962 people with increased access to quality medical, psychosocial, legal and livelihood services.
Currently International Medical Corps is implementing a GBV project in collaboration with the International Rescue Committee funded by the World Bank through Fonds Social of the DRC. The project is being carried out in North and South Kivu in five health zones: Minova, Shabunda, Lulingu, Kirotshe and Binza.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH): As many health facilities in DRC lack running water, latrines and other basic sanitation services, International Medical Corps works with health centres to construct and rehabilitate water sources and install rain water catchment systems. To ensure the sustainability of these efforts, our staff establish local water and sanitation committees and educate villagers on the proper maintenance and storage of water and sanitation supplies and sources.

Socialist Workings (1994)
'A good society would be controlled by the workers` - the left wing says
But surely . . . .
Change won't last, "human nature is to blame"
After a while faults will just be the same
Won't the new organisers gorge themselves,
when the reform spirit decays?
I've got it sussed, a straight ruling plight
The leaders must be realistic, and not tower from a height
Of underlying power, and reputation
They must be forced into co-operation
Out of shiftiness, and into our situation
A percentage of us are sure to die. . . .
Every year from crime, mishaps
Suicide or life's neglect traps
Or by nature. (And some of them too, by and by)
We'd give our lives for the country, out of fear
And intelligence - we don't want mass murderers here
But life's back to that rat-race, look what we've escaped. . .
Forever of fear, poverty, cruelty, women raped
The idea of mine, we make a dead line
Below a threshold, the elected worst carefully tried
Guilty? Into a vat of oil, until fried
Strained and chipped, but not eaten!
Just well and truly beaten
(Rings a bell. . . . of a medieval hell)
Then laid as bricks, we'll see if they reach their VIP height
We'll see how much they were shyte
They'd be compelled to use
Instead of governing exploitation abuse
And would be giving their lives for us
Well, why not? 'Becus' ?
The level of smile, the average would rise
Worth would be here. . . .
A future with less fear. . . .
The ones on the brink could look up and dry their eyes.
Lives would be saved for the sacrifice of a delinquent few
Who after the new trial still make people spew
Control, where it's crucially needed
And eye-wool removed
It will at long last be proved. . . .
The world's poisonous growths can truly be weeded.

The goal of completing a research project is to allow residents to learn how to develop an adequate hypothesis, develop and understand what constitutes a well-designed scientific study, and learn how to interpret the use of statistics. During this project, residents, with the assistance of a faculty mentor (attending), the research coordinator and other research staff, will develop a well-designed hypothesis, develop a method to adequately test the hypothesis, and learn what statistical methods work best in establishing the validity of the study. Residents will learn about the strengths and potential pitfalls of statistical analysis. Residents will learn how to better interpret the literature. By performing their own study, residents will be better able to understand and interpret the quality of the literature.
Original Research Project
Each Orthopaedic resident is required to perform one research project during his or her residency. The research project should be one of his or her design. In order to successfully complete the residency, each resident must have completed the study and written a manuscript in publishable format.
Quality Improvement Project
Quality Improvement is a crucial component of any healthcare system. Residents, as part of the healthcare system, are required to take part in group quality improvement projects of their choosing. These are longitudinal projects that are designed to have local impacts on Orthopaedic healthcare delivery. Dedicated group meeting times are built into the conference schedule.
Case Reports
Though not an official requirement, publications of case reports are highly encouraged. Our clinical faculty are eager to provide cases and aid in the publication of meaningful Orthopaedic literature.

It is an eye-opening summary of regulations that Daniel M. Gallagher says have been imposed on U.S. financial services firms since enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010.
Prepare to squint and use a powerful magnifier, as there are a lot of regulations to see.
Gallagher said the regulations have "come from an alphabet soup of domestic regulators," including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), of which he is a commissioner. The chart is the handiwork of Gallagher and his staff, with design assistance from the SEC's publications office.
Many of the regulations are related to "edicts" of non-accountable international bodies such as the Financial Stability Board, Gallagher said, adding that in many instances, there was no requirement for a robust cost-benefit analysis.
"We as regulators are, when it comes to the possibility that our rules are causing death by a thousand cuts, the proverbial ostrich — head firmly entrenched in the sand," he said.
Why release this chart? Gallagher said he's hoping it will inform future regulatory endeavors, and that "academics, the financial services industry, and other interested parties will undertake similar, more detailed analyses." Do you think it will work? Weigh in below.

As I continue gathering and editing my photos from Art Basel 2015 I almost forgot that I have a whole other set of photos from a recent mural project to share with all of you. Only a week or so before Angelina Christina and I departed for Miami, we spent a week with our travel companion, Montreal-based artist Kevin Ledo. I was familiar with Kevin's work in Miami from previous Basels so I was pretty stoked when Angelina told me she and Kevin would be working on a mural together thanks in part to Beautify Earth at the building occupied by production company 3ROUNDBURST in Culver City. I stayed the week at Angelina's studio in Marina Del Rey where I became temporary roommates with Kevin and an honorary Westsider (the conversion in LA from Eastside to Westside is quite the big deal for those not in the know).
Kevin Ledo is a great guy and it was cool to spend the time I did with him including our roadtrip with Angelina to Miami which you will see soon. One of the more interesting aspects of this mural was that Angelina and Kevin have such similar styles and technical working styles that the piece came out truly collaborative as is evidenced in the photos. We all agreed to that Kevin's lines that worked in to the background of the final piece were so strong on their own that they could have been their own mural so it's great to see the progression of layers here. Truly a beautiful work of art by two heartfelt and talented artists. I also shot a plethora of video so stayed tuned for that in the future.

Oshiomhole Blasts Amosun And Okorocha, Says The Wrath Of God Is Coming On Obasanjo
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, on Wednesday shaded the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, and Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, stating that a few of the APC governors were electoral liabilities.
While receiving the APC Women Leaders from Edo State and the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja on Wednesday, he made the statement.
Both Amosun and Okorocha had vowed not to support the APC governorship candidates in their states.But Oshiomhole has made it clear that the party would win the two states without the support of the two governors.
He also took swipe at former President Olusegun Obasanjo, stating that he was inviting the wrath of God by supporting the People's Democratic Party's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, after he (Obasanjo) has once said that God would not forgive him if he supported Atiku.

EPA Final Formaldehyde Rule Published
Today, the U.S. EPA released the final version of the historic Formaldehyde Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products rule in the Federal Register. As reported last Friday, CPA has compared the final rule to the prepublished version dated July 27 and no substantive changes were noted. The first compliance date is December 12, 2017 when panel manufacturers must meet the established emissions levels, and all product manufacturers and laminators will be required to use compliant core material. Additionally, EPA has implemented a new certification requirement for imports of composite wood panels or products made with composite wood that will apply on December 12, 2018. Also, a narrowly defined group of attached wood or woody grass veneered products, referred to by the EPA as "laminated products," will have further requirements for compliance effective December 12, 2023. See Federal Register and CPA Press Release. More Info: Jackson Morrill

I didn't even notice when Alex walked in some time later, absorbed as I was in solving the crossword, so I almost fell off my chair when his low growl brought me back to reality.
"What sort of strange experiment is this?" he was standing next to the cooker, pointing an accusatory finger at my simmering creation, his eyebrows creased severely in the middle.
"Lunch," I tossed back flatly.
"I was afraid you'd say that. Why didn't you tell me you really can't cook?"
"Well I tried, you didn't seem to be listening," I shrugged .
"But I counted on you knowing the basics, at least. I didn't expect you to be totally incapable. How's that even possible, anyway? You're a girl, for cryin' out loud!"
"Don't act like such a drama queen. It's not my fault you got the wrong end of the stick. Besides, take a look at it, how bad do you think it could be?"
Unfortunately, the term 'bad' took on a whole new dimension a little later when I found myself sitting at the kitchen table, examining the food on my plate. The withered, lifeless ghosts of vegetables floated up to the surface, then disappeared again into the depths of the steaming red gloop, which gave off an odor something like grampa's old socks. Not to mention the huge, shriveled pink beast that lurked somewhere deep beneath the surface.
I stole a glance at Alex, who was holding his spoon in front of his face, a look of disbelief in his eyes as he stared down at the burnt offering before him. Finally, he spooned up some of the liquid and looked both disgusted and determined as he thrust it into his mouth.
"And?" I asked.
"Mmmm… I've never tasted anything more unusual. You have to try it."
Arching my eyebrows in surprise, I followed his example and dipped my spoon into the bowl, and then brought it up to my lips. The taste was something like the bottom of a hen coop.

View Over the Top of my Book #10
I took this photograph a few months ago when I was at the Liberty Stadium to watch Swansea City play against my team, West Ham United.
As I was on my own, I got my book out at half-time for a quick read, however, the near constant interruption from people on pie and pint missions wanting to get past my seat made it impossible to concentrate, as did the blatant staring at my book from those sitting around me. I got the impression that not many people read Anne Tyler at football matches, and even less take photographs of themselves doing so.
Still, I got the picture, and it provided some excitement, which is more than can be said of the match. Largely due to the absence of the injured West Ham wonderboy, Dmitri Payet, it finished nil-nil.

DIY Natural Face Wash
-An easy, cost-effective way to cleanse your skin and balance your PH level naturally-
A few months ago I wrote a post DIY Natural Body Wash and how I was in the process of cleaning out all of the toxic products from my bathroom and making the transition to all natural, chemical free products. Well, I am happy to say that as of about 1 month ago the transition is complete! At this point my products are a combination of home made and purchased, but the products I did end up purchasing (for now) are from small business owners who use top notch, quality ingredients.
Why not just you the store bought cleanser you ask?
The skin on your face is very sensitive and most (if not all) cleansers that are found in stores are packed full of chemicals, parabens, artificial fragrances, and many other ingredients that will only harm your skin. They clog your pores, contribute to acne breakouts, cause irritation, redness, and dryness. Maintaining a natural PH balance is key when talking about healthy skin. PH is measured on a scale of 1-14, 1 being the most acidic, 7 being neutral, and 14 being the most alkaline. Your skin generally is 5.5PH while face soaps, even the most mild forms are 9.5PH(alkaline). When products are too alkaline, they tend to dry out your skin and cause irritation. These high alkaline products can even make your skin more susceptible to acne as a certain level of acidity is required to reduce the growth of bacteria. Therefore, it is highly important to not only use a neutral facial cleanser, but I also highly recommend using a natural facial toner to help balance your skins PH, reduce pore size, and many additional benefits.
I started using this face wash quite awhile ago, as this was phase 1 of my "toxin removal project" and it's safe to say that I'm obsessed. This face wash is literally the easiest thing to make, the ingredient list is simple, low cost, and it actually works! My skin is not only more beautiful than ever, but this cleanser removes makeup better than anything I've ever tried. It has done nothing but wonderful things for my skin and I don't think I could ever go back to conventional face wash again. My skin is smooth, radiant, and most importantly acne and blemish free.
Follow the recipe below to create a bottle for your self:)
- 1/3C. Liquid Castile Soap (I like peppermint best)
- 1/3C. Raw Honey
- 3Tbsp. Distilled or Boiled H2O
- 2Tbsp. Nourishing Oil (Jojoba, Argan, Apricot, etc.)
- 1 Liquid Soap Dispenser
- Heat the water then add to the soap dispenser to prevent bubbles
- Then add the liquid soap, honey, and oil (you may need to warm the honey to thin the consistency so you can get it into the bottle)
- Cover the bottle with the lid and shake until all of the honey is dissolved
- Shake the bottle every few days to keep everything mixed together
- Store this up from a few weeks up to a few months
I can't wait for you all to try this! Please circle back and let me know how it went!

Vincent Starrett solves a mystery by calling in a Ghost
Dead men tell many tales in this Starrett mystery from 1931
A man has died.
How do we know this? The killer thoughtfully left a note on the front door of the deceased's business.
"Dead Man Inside," it read.
Thus begins a story. In fact, it is the beginning of what I think is one of Vincent Starrett's best novels. It's also an odd book, because:
- It has a detective who hates being a detective and spends a lot of time comparing himself unfavorably to the idealized version of a mystery novel detective.
- There are more misleading clues, loose ends and improbable events than in The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
- The book is perhaps Starrett's most humorous. That's surprising, because he normally is not a comic writer.
- It also has the best dust jacket of any of his mysteries.
Let's pull it down from the shelf.
The dust jacket with its unattributed art is among my favorites from any of Starrett's mysteries. The shocked looks of the good people of Chicago as they press their faces to the shop window tell their own story. Just look at that little boy in the center of the illustration, with his eyes open almost as wide as his ears.
What's got their attention?
It's the body of Amos Bluefield, the owner of an expensive haberdashery shop. Or, as Starrett tells it:
On a gilded throne, in his own shop window, Amos Bluefield, a modest enough executive, who was ordinarily somewhat difficult to see, sat quite still, looking off with blind eyes at the mounting congestion of the boulevard.
Taped to the front door of the shop was a square of white paper that read:
Published in 1931 by Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc. under their "Crime Club" series imprint, the novel was the second of three featuring laconic amateur detective Walter Ghost. An esoteric scholar of apparently unlimited means, Ghost is a most appropriate name for a fellow who floats through the story leaving little impression.
He doesn't even show up until page 93 (one-third of the way through the novel), after two other murders have been committed.
Just two pages before his first appearance, one of several Chicago residents whose life is affected by the murders says, "Amateur detectives give me a pain." Except it is Ghost who was having the pains, and they turned out to be appendicitis. By sheer coincidence, his surgeon was a friend of one of the victims. And that's how Ghost gets involved in the Dead Man Inside murders.
But Ghost doesn't want to do anything about the murders, except hang out with a friend whose daughter might have seen the murderer in action and therefore could be in danger. All Ghost really cares about is going to the Newberry Library to research what island Columbus landed on thinking he had discovered the New World.
"It is one of a number of subjects upon which I am a bit of a crank," Ghost explains. "Having nothing better in the world to do, I go around trying to disprove the conclusions of other men. I seem to have that kind of a mind."
Later he explains he has no real profession. "I'm somewhat of a dilettante, I'm afraid. Too much money has spoiled me for world. I do only the things it interests me to do." (See the first time in The More You Know, below.)
Although Starrett loved his adopted city of Chicago, Ghost hates being stuck in the Windy City: "He had no love for Chicago — a gray, cold place in the late autumn, with few attractions for a citizen of the world. At this moment he should have been en route to dinner at his favorite club in New York."
And while Starrett held Sherlock Holmes in highest esteem, Ghost was having none of it.
"I won't be seen crawling about on my hands and knees, and I would positively refuse to disguise myself, even if it were possible," announces Ghost early in his appearance.
Indeed, the novel is almost meta in the way in which it discusses mysteries, detection and detective stories.
The local police detectives are, of course, as successful as Lestrade in sorting out the mess. Their lackadaisical attitude towards the job is almost comical.
As one police detective says, "One must begin some place to investigate a mystery, and often one clue is as good as another. The main thing is to keep busy and to keep the reporters satisfied." Starrett, a former newspaper reporter, had covered city crime and detectives in his salad days and he knew the ways in which police courted the media.
(Or as another detective put it, "The Press, Watson, is a most valuable institution, if you only know how to use it.")
Speaking of Holmes, Starrett makes a passing reference to him in relation to "real" detectives. It should be remembered that in 1931, when he was writing Dead Man Inside, Starrett was also preparing The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes for publication in 1933.
A reporter by the name of Saxon watches as a pair of Chicago's finest combs a murder scene at a local playhouse:
"Nothing Holmesy about those dicks," he observed. "They wouldn't know a steamfitter from a country parson by his coat lapel; but if one of the actorettes has anything on her conscience you can bet these birds will pry it loose."
His companion agrees.
"A couple of rat terriers in a roomful of mice. They know their business though."
"Rat terriers" has an echo of that description of Lestrade from A Study in Scarlet: "a little sallow rat-faced, dark-eyed fellow."
In fact, the cops are more Keystone than clever.
"Well, well, and well!" (said the police chief to his deputy.) "Wilk, I'll bet that fellow's a crook!"
"No!" cried Wilk, scandalized.
"Yes, sir," said the chief of police, "I'll bet he's a crook."
"Tchk, tchk, tchk!" deprecated Wilk, humorously ironic. "Then he's the thirteenth known crook in the city. We'll be getting a reputation first thing we know."
Later, the brother of the dead man is brought in for questioning after having "been found in lodgings so close to a north side police station he might have put his head out of a window and watched the squad-room patrolmen at their pinochle."
And even though it's the height of Prohibition, police detectives Sheets and Kelly hang out in a local speakeasy, where they're more scandalized by the lack of pretzels than the fact that they're breaking the very laws to which they've sworn allegiance.
Go back a sentence. Did you catch those names: Sheets and Kelly? Starrett's having a bit more fun here. Jumble up a few letters and you get Keats and Shelly.
There's more: Ghost is a Shakespeare expert, so it's no surprise when one character shows up named John Gaunt, another is Lear and a third is Tempest.
And the slowest thinking character, a college professor, has the last name of Moment, when Hour (or maybe Eon) would have been more appropriate.
Indeed, the only disappointing point (and it is a big one) is the mystery and its solution. The case is packed with enough herrings to feed the population of Denmark.
And the conclusion is so convoluted that I had to read it twice before making any sense of it. The warning that is on the last page of the book asking the reader to not divulge the solution would seem to be unneeded.
Even so, the opening and closing scenes are strong enough to make this the most memorable of the three Ghost novels, in my view. And there was more than a twinkle in Starrett's eye as he wrote this. I think he had a grand time parodying his old friends in the police department and the newspaper reporters who covered them.
Contemporary reviewers were mixed. (And here I must once again thank Mattias Bostrom for his help in finding reviews from the 1930s.)
"Scot Yard" at the Richmond Times Dispatch was impressed. "Half a dozen of these showy murders are perpetrated in Vincent Starrett's exciting mystery which will give addicts of this kind of story a full two dollars' worth of shivers. Mr. Starrett, who is literary editor of the Chicago Daily News, has profited by the mistakes of all mystery writer whose slow tales he once had to review." (See The More You Know #3.)
H. Allen Smith, the book reviewer for United Press, called Dead Man Inside, "a murder story that send cold shivers up the spine of the average reader. … It should be rated near the top of Starrett's many good mystery stories."
An anonymous reviewer whose work was syndicated in several papers notes that "The motive behind this succession of horrors, when it is finally explained, scarcely seems adequate, but it is then too late for the reader to complain that he has not been highly entertained in the meantime."
And a review in the Wichita Daily Times notes that "It's all very unbelievable, but somehow you keep on reading it right to the end — which, very likely, is all that matters."
So we are at the end of Dead Man Inside, and that's all that really matters, isn't it?
The More You know
- Ghost made his first appearance in 1929 in Murder on B Deck, and would show up again several months after Dead Man Inside in a third novel, The End of Mr. Garment. As he explains in his memoir, Born in a Bookshop, Starrett had planned to use his detective Jimmie Lavender for Murder on B Deck, but "for some reason" invented Ghost instead.
- Dead Man Inside is dedicated to Scott Cunningham, who must have been quite close to Starrett in the late 20's and early 30's. Cunningham owned an inscribed copy of The Unique Hamlet, which is now in the University of Texas collection. He also owned several other inscribed copies of Starrett's books. Cunningham wrote a bibliography of Harlem historian Carl Van Vechten. But how did he and Starrett meet and why were they so close? I've not sorted it out yet.
- It's a nice coincidence that the next item in the Richmond Times Dispatch deals with Dr. Logan Clendening, who "has just arrived in New York from Kansas City to complete arrangements for the publishing of his new book, The Care and Feeding of Adults," It will be remembered that Dr. Clendening sent Starrett a box of valuable Holmes related materials after Starrett had to sell off his collection to pay debts.

05 Sep PEAR CINNAMON VEGAN CAKE / RECIPE
Recipe + design by Sita & Nena
Our note: We love baking our delicious pear cinnamon vegan cake, ideal for autumn days!
- INGREDIENTS *vegan recipe
Our note: following the cups method for measurement units, we discovered that the volume of the cup is always the key, you don´t have to weigh the ingredients. A cup has the same volume of ingredients (liquid or dry) as a glass or a mug.
1 and ½ cups wheat flour (plain or all-purpose)
3/4 cup panela sugar or unrefined cane sugar
½ cup chunks of pear
Our note: apples instead of pears. It works perfectly well.
1 and ½ tsp ground cinnamon
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
A pinch of salt
¼ cup pear compote
Our note: apple compote instead of pear compote. It works perfectly well.
½ cup unsweetened almond drink (any non-dairy milk)
6 tablespoons veggie oil (any neutral flavored)
Our note: sunflower oil is a perfect choice for cakes.
Our note: well, standard dimensions for bread and loaf pans start at 8 ½ by 4 ½ inches. It´s the perfect size for that amount of ingredients. If you multiply the amount by the number of times that you want, you will get a bigger cake. You have tons of different sizes of baking pan depends on the final amount.
2. Wash and peel the pears. Cut into chunks (the size is up to you).
3. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl: sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, chunks of pear, ground cinnamon and salt. Mix it well with a wooden spoon.
Our note: we always sift the flour for muffins and cakes. Sifting helps to combine the flour with any dry ingredients.
4. Combine wet ingredients in a bowl: almond milk, pear compote, red wine and veggie oil until well mixed.
Our note: Homemade pear compote (chunks of conference pear, cinnamon stick and panela sugar) is so easy, moreover you just need a bit of compota for this cake.
5. Pour the wet mix into the dry bowl. Mix everything slowly with a wooden spoon.
6. Cover with pear compote the bottom of bread pan. Pour the mix into the bread pan, arrange the pear slices around the cake decoratively and sprinkle sugar on the top.
7. Bake for it around 40 minutes, until browned.
Our note: Don´t open the oven, you can always leave the cake in the oven for a few more minutes.
8. Remove the bread pan from oven. Leave it to cool for a while. Carefully, peel off the paper and cool a bit on a wire rack.
9. Serve as is or with a scoop of vegan ice cream, vanilla flavor or vegan source cream or vegan custard.
The pear (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) is any of several tree and shrub species of genus Pyrus, in the family Rosaceae. It is also the name of the pomaceous fruit of the trees.
The pear is native to coastal and mildly temperate regions of the Old World, from western Europe and north Africa east right across Asia.
Pears have been cultivated in China for approximately 3000 years. The pear was also cultivated by the Romans, who ate the fruits raw or cooked, just like apples. The Roman cookbook De re coquinaria has a recipe for a spiced, stewed-pear patina, or soufflé.
A menu of creative and healthy recipes has been prepared for each month of the year. Are you ready? Cosericantar cooking blog makes it a piece of cake with lots of homemade recipes (vegan friendly) and special menus (Halloween and Easter). Mix and match recipes as you wish for your everyday meals!

Final Score: Eagles 22 v 7 Magnet (W)
I think you could tell it was a while since there last competitive match after the Xmas break. The team got off to a slow start with footwork, players making the same drives, and missed shots.
Q2 was better after a talking to from Neil and the team started to play the right patterns with good link ups, great defence, much better mid court play and more consistent shooting. The errors were reduced and the team restricted Magnet to a handful of chances. End of Q2 12-2.
Into Q3 and a couple of changes, strong performance from our defence again and great mid court play and feeds into the circle meant we continued in the same vein as Q2. End of the quarter 19-4 to Eagles to stretch the lead and put the game beyond Magnets.
Into Q4 and a couple of changes by Neil to play some people in different positions meant the team were having to adapt, so the errors in link-up play increased and the scoreboard ticked along but it was good to give the girls a challenge to develop. Final score 22-7 to Eagles.
Great performance all round, with Eve Bishopp getting the vote for POM from Magnets.

Valentines day is almost here, and I'm aware of the fact that each year it brings a variety of emotions and feelings to me and the people I know. Just like any issue in life, there are a lot of opinions regarding the "day of love," and I'm cool with that. For me, I mostly just dread trying to find my realist, practical, money minded significant other a gift, at which point I FREAK out every single year. We've finally opted for the idea that gifts are over rated and dinner sounds a lot less stressful. However, with all of that being said, it still seems appropriate to share a few thoughts on love that I've had hanging out in my head for a bit.
I don't know if you've noticed or not, but I've seen a lot of articles going around lately regarding love, life, marriage, and specifically being twenty-three.
was the first one I noticed, from The Huffington Post, before many a response came along like
one. If reading articles about 23 year olds online isn't your thing, I'll sum it up. The first article is by a girl who feels that you should never be pressured to marry and that you should live life to it's fullest before you do (although she also seems to be slightly under the impression that life ends when you get married), and the second is a response to that defending young marriage. Here's the thing, I don't really care if you get married at 18, or 80, because I don't think it's about the age at all, but it did make me think about my own story with love and the things I've learned along the way.
If you're my friend, you probably know how old I am. If not, get prepared to know me a lot better after this. I'm twenty-three, for the record. I was born on September 23rd, 1990, to be exact, in a tiny hospital in North West Georgia. I started dating the man I would marry two months after my eighteenth birthday, and I married him when I was nineteen years old. He was the only man I had every officially dated. I got pregnant nine months later (can we say little "oops!"), and gave birth to our daughter when I was 21. I'm telling you all of this because age wise, I'm "that girl" that jumped the gun and ran into adulthood without knowing what she signed up for. And because everything I'm about to say won't make sense unless you have a little context.
Guys, I'm a sucker for love. I watched "Sleepless in Seattle" about a million times as a teenager, and bawled my eyes out every, single, time. I just loved love, and really, I probably still do. Also, I over thought EVERYTHING. I was the strict little homeschooler who self imposed the idea of courtship and a 50 point check list for the guy I would date at 13 (I'm sure my parents adored me for a few years), and then promptly threw it all out the window at 17 (which was easy, since like I said, it was SELF IMPOSED...I still kind of wonder what was wrong with me), at which point I basically questioned everything in life and became a short term cynic. I hate to admit this, because I have always felt that emotional stability equals maturity, but I'm a rather...shall we say, passionate, person. A person of extremes might be more appropriate terminology, but whatever.
I met the guy I would marry when I went (begrudgingly, none the less) to a Medieval Times dinner show in Atlanta in 2008. He was a Knight in the show (yes, you heard me right), and somehow when I left the place the guy had my number. As it turns out, I was no longer a cynic within a few short weeks, and promptly decided that love was glorious all over again. We dated for a year and a half before we got married, and it was full of all sorts of beauty and mess, and immaturity and more than a few stupid mistakes that we might not have made if we had been five years older. But ultimately, I still think we were a relatively healthy couple the day we said "I Do" on June 12, 2010.
And here's where it gets fun: that is the day that my life began the slow process of falling all to pieces. And do you know why? Because deep down inside I had bought into the idea that following a list and doing things "right" will buy you a fairy tale, and thank God that's a damned lie. I made sure that this man met all of my standards. That he fit my check list (except that he doesn't have blue eyes. I kind of convinced myself that he did actually, but he doesn't. They're brown. Hazel at best. Please, laugh all you want, I certainly do.), and that he was the kind of guy who would
stay that way
. And that right there is the heart of it all: I married a human being, not a robot, and that little fact turned my world upside down. My love failed me, in all of the right ways. And you know what, adventures and bucket lists and trips to Italy would have failed me too. Because the problem was not the man I loved, but my idea of love and life its self.
I have always wanted to be brutally honest with myself about life, but when I married Dirk I realized that's not actually what I wanted. In reality, I couldn't handle the truth. I was crushed by the realization that neither he, nor I, were the people we believed ourselves to be. Our first two years together were entirely consumed by my need for him to be something better, to be the guy I
I was marrying. I believe that I didn't actually get to know my husband until my pretty little picture fell all to pieces and I was forced into seeing my protective little world for what it was. I didn't love life, or the people in it, I loved what I thought they could give me, and that's a heart wrenching realization.
I married my husband young because we both knew it was the right time. I still stand behind that decision, but I do know the cost now. I have certainly had to accept, and maybe even mourn the fact (if I'm honest) that I literally NEVER had the typical experience most adults have when it comes to dating. Come on, I was single for two whole months of adulthood. I was pregnant on my 21st birthday and I had a One year old by the time I was 22. I moved all the way across the country to try a career with my husband that he ended up leaving, as in, 180 degree turn around. We have had to figure out who the hell we are, together. On one level that's amazing. I've shared a very intimate part of my life with the person I care the most about. On the other hand it's hell. We are two VERY different people than we were three years ago and we've had to learn to love each other regardless. To accept each other for who we are becoming, not who we said we were the day we stood at an alter and tied our lived together. But at the end of the day I can give you a list of things that I have in exchange, and for MY life, I would still make the trade. I would fight harder and work more for the career I want if it means I get to see my daughters smiling face every morning.
Marriage stripped my idea of love completely bare, but it also built it back in a way that I could never imagine. I finally learned to look a person in the eyes and love them for exactly who they are, at that moment in time, and that's the most amazing feeling in the world. That's the point of all of this really. If you really truly love something you will find that you lose yourself in it. Humility is the natural outcome of true love, because there is no room for self consciousness in absolute familiarity. There is no longer a reason to hide, or to judge. I'm not saying that we're not still a mess. God, sometimes we're a wreck! But for me, love shaped my story, and the process of becoming comfortable with the reality of life has been a beautiful, if tearful one. I know that this is just a marker on the journey. Ten years from now I will no longer be the person I am today. My love will not be the same. Tides flow and time beats level, but I'm pretty sure that thats the beauty right there. I'm free to be honest, and love deeply, because what life looks like doesn't define what it's about, and that's a very freeing thought indeed.

Wondering how to get started with hooping? We've answered your top 5 questions to start you on the path to health, happiness, and oh yeah, a waistline your friends will envy! The first thing you will notice is that we don't present you with a chart. There are literally hundreds of them out there. What we have done, based on over 12 years experience and over 100,000 hoops sold, is present you with a clear solution.
I'm a total beginner, want to lose weight around my middle and don't know what size hoop I should get. What do you recommend?
- You'll want a hoop that's large enough and heavy enough to spin a bit more slowly giving you time to learn waist hooping. A smaller, lighter child like hoop tends to spin so quickly adults have a hard time learning waist hooping. But you'll also want to go a bit lighter and smaller as you get better, so that you can get your heart rate up and burn even more calories.
Based on feedback from working with literally tens of thousands of clients, we created our Two In One Fitness Hoop to meet both of those needs in one hoop, so you don't have to worry about getting the right size!
- With the push of a button, this hoop can go from a larger 42" 2lb hoop to a smaller 38" 1.5 lb hoop with the push of a button and back again, as you wish.
- As you learn, the 42" larger size makes the hoop spin a bit more slowly, giving you time to master your technique and keep your hoop spinning.
- As you get better, you can take your hoop down to the 38" size by removing the segment.
You can also use your weighted hula hoop for resistance training to tone your hips and thighs, sculpt lean arms and shoulders and create amazing core strength!
What's the difference between a dance hula hoop and a weighted fitness hula hoop?
Dance hula hoops are designed to rotate faster and are used for both on body and off body tricks. They are lighter than weighted fitness hula hoops. Weighted fitness hula hoops are used for primarily waist hooping and resistance training to tone legs, hips and thighs and develop core strength.
Can I lose weight by hula hooping?
Absolutely! The American Council on Exercise conducted a study and found that hooping ranks right up there with bootcamp! But it's much gentler and more effective for reducing belly fat. "Hooping compares pretty favorably with most other group classes, in terms of heart rate and calorie burn," says Porcari. In fact, exercisers can expect similar results from hooping as they'd get from boot-camp classes, step aerobics and cardio kickboxing—all of which meet fitness industry criteria for improving cardiovascular fitness (Table 1). Also, by burning approximately 210 calories per 30-minute session, hooping falls within accepted guidelines for exercise that can contribute to weight management.
I've tried hooping in the past and couldn't do it. Now what?
If you've tried hooping with a child's hoop and had it immediately drop, it's not your fault. Super light children's hoops are not made for adults. We've crafted our hoops to the perfect weight and size for maximum control and core activation. You can pair your hoop with our Hoop Fitness DVD, which will walk you through how to waist hoop and includes additional resistance, cardio, and ab isolation segments.
What's a good beginning dance hoop?
- A hoop that spins a bit more slowly can make learning hula hoop dance tricks a bit easier at first. Once you get the move down, it's easy to move to a smaller hoop to really master isolations, arm slides, escalators and more.
- We created our Two in One Dance Hula hoop to help you learn new tricks and then progress to a smaller size as your skills increase.
- Our Two In One Dance Hoop has a removable segment that takes your dance hoop from 40" to a 36" hoop with a removable segment. As you progress in your skills move to the 36″ size which makes those isolations, arm slides and escalator moves easier to handle.
- Once you progress to advanced hooping you might want to switch to our lightweight PolyPro hoops for increased flexibility and responsiveness.

George Bush' s IRAQ Spiralling Downwards into Deadly Civil War
Read here original article
Iraq is closer to the brink of what many fear could turn into a full-fledged civil war.
More than 100 people were reported dead Thursday as the fierce sectarian passions unleashed by the bombing of one of Shiite Islam's holiest shrines raged unchecked.
Despite appeals for calm, including a fresh plea from President Bush, the mood in the country was far from conciliatory. Sunni and Shiite politicians traded blame, accusing each other of fomenting the violence.
The bombing of the shrine has triggered an outpouring of suppressed grief and rage by the country's majority Shiites, who have long borne the brunt of the suicide bombings perpetrated by Sunni extremists over the past 2 1/2 years.
The Iraqi Islamic Party said 169 mosques have been attacked, burned or occupied across the country in what appear to be retaliatory attacks by Shiite militias.
The figure could not be independently confirmed, but armed Shiite militias continued to roam in many neighborhoods of Baghdad, residents said, and the attacks on mosques and other Sunni targets went on.
Sunni leaders announced they are suspending their participation in talks with Shiite and Kurdish parties for a new government, saying it is "not acceptable to negotiate with people who are harming us."
The government imposed a nationwide curfew from 8 p.m. Thursday until 4 p.m. Friday, a dramatic step that will prevent all Iraqis from attending the traditional Friday noontime prayers.
Shops, offices and businesses were closed in observance of a three-day period of national mourning for the destruction of the gold dome of the 9th-century shrine, which contains the remains of two of Shiite Islam's most revered imams.
All leave was canceled for the Iraqi security forces, who were deployed in strength across the country.
U.S. forces, who are increasingly ceding the streets to the incomplete Iraqi army and police force, kept a low profile.
Still, seven American soldiers were reported killed in two separate roadside bombings in the northern town of Hawija and in Balad, just north of Baghdad.
Shiites staged more demonstrations in Baghdad and Shiite cities across the south, but the mood was calmer than Wednesday, when the rage ignited by the bombing of the shrine showed how quickly Iraq could disintegrate into chaos.
The bodies of 47 men were found bound and shot in the head in a ditch near a factory in Diyala province. An Interior Ministry official said all the men were Shiites; an official with the Islamic Party said they were Sunnis.
Among the dead found Thursday were the bodies of Sunnis, including several prominent imams, who were abducted during the wave of attacks Wednesday against Sunni mosques in retaliation for the bombing of the Askariya mosque in Samarra.
A bomb blast in the town of Baqouba killed 16 people.
Also killed were a correspondent and two employees of the Al-Arabiya TV network, whose bullet-riddled bodies were found in Samarra on Thursday morning near their satellite truck.
In the Baghdad neighborhood of Zayouni, armed men burst into the Kazaza mosque during afternoon prayers, sprinkled gasoline on the carpets and set the building ablaze. As terrified worshippers fled the flames, four were seized by the gunmen and taken away, according to Abdul Rahman Mohammed, the mosque's sheikh.
Among those appealing for calm was radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who cut short a visit to Lebanon and flew to Iran on his way back to Iraq.
In a telephone call from the Iranian city of Qom to Al-Jazeera, he called for the creation of a joint "committee of Shiite and Sunni clerics to attend to this crisis. Sunni and Shiite mosques are being attacked as if we are enemies," he said.
But Sunni leaders say al-Sadr's Mahdi army has been responsible for much of the violence against Sunni mosques.
The Association of Muslim Scholars, a prominent Sunni group, issued a statement implicitly criticizing the top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani and other senior Shiite clerics "for calling for demonstrations when they know Iraq cannot control the streets."
