Christopher's daily life depend upon what type of cars Christopher sights, "4 cars in a row made it a Good Day, and 3 red cars in a row made it a quite good day, and 5 red cars in a row made it a supper good day, and 4 yellow cars made it a black, which is a day when I don't speak to anyone and sit on my own reading books and don't eat my lunch". Christopher believes that "one way of things being in a nice order was logical, however this comprehensively symbolises the logic of Christopher, however this superstition is irrational, allowing cars to judge what sort of day it will be, and making you refrain from talking and eating, which is completely unhealthy Also the idea of sighting "5 red cars in a row" to make it a super good day, is solely based on chances, for example Christopher may have not sighted the "5 cars" as he might not be present at that current moment they pass, however might sight "4 yellow cars", and abstain from essentials such as food required to sustain life. Moreover the fact that Christopher believed that this is rational, meaningful, and had a purpose, personally allowed me to understand Christopher's logic, and sense, thus Haddon's use of symbolism has effectively Show More

WINNIPEG — The trial of a man accused of killing a 15-year-old Indigenous girl in Winnipeg has heard more testimony about a duvet cover that was wrapped around the girl when she was found.
Raymond Cormier has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Tina Fontaine, whose body was pulled from the Red River in August 2014.
The trial heard from two women last week who said the duvet cover looked the same as one that Cormier used while living in a tent in their backyard.
One of the women said she had seen two cigarette burn marks in the cover Cormier had.
The trial heard today from Winnipeg police Const. Garrett Carrette, who brought the duvet cover Tina's body was discovered in to court and showed the jury two holes in it.
Under cross-examination, Carrette agreed with Cormier's lawyer that the holes looked like rips or tears in the fabric.
Tina died shortly after moving from the Sagkeeng First Nation to Winnipeg to visit her mother.
She became a sexually exploited youth and was missing for days before her body was found.

Researching photo locations is one of those things that is important but also needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. I often scout ahead for places to photograph, but I make sure to keep my plans flexible. You never know what the weather will do, or what interesting thing you'll find unexpectedly. Do some research before your trip but be prepared to ignore your list if something better comes along.
With that in mind, here are some ways I scout out photo locations both before and during my photography trips.
Ask a Local
Locals always know the best places to visit. They'll have inside info on locations that the rest of the tourists won't have heard about. If you're keen to visit the obvious tourist hotspots, they'll be able to tell you the best time to go, and which times to avoid.
The key here is to not be shy! Ask the person in the shop, a waiter, the barista in the cafe. Pop into a pub and ask the bartender. Also ask around on social media – we're all so well connected these days that a question with the right hashtag can have helpful strangers offering tips and advice.
Google Maps
I've used Google Maps for years. If you were to look at my map you'd notice it is full of little stars! I tend to bookmark places on Google maps that look interesting or that I want to remind myself of for future trips. This is the main place I store recommendations of photo spots.
If you do use Google Maps, a big advantage is that you can save your maps offline. If you're off adventuring somewhere remote, you'll most likely lose phone signal and your map won't be that useful without its data! Save your maps offline, and if possible, have a paper map for backup if you don't know the area well.
To find places of interest on Google Maps, you can search for the word "attractions" to bring up the most obvious (read: touristy) results. This is useful, but even better is the photo search tool. If you bring up the photo overlay for the area, you can mouse over any of the photos to see its point on the map. Just bear in mind that if people have manually tagged their locations, the GPS tag may not be completely accurate.
My final tip for Google Maps is to use Satellite mode and Street View to scope out routes and paths. This can be particularly useful for finding parking and lay-bys as well as geographic features like beaches. I also used this recently to see what someone referred to as "land rover tracks" up a mountain that weren't marked on the standard map. Hooray for satellites!
Tourist Information
Tourist information offices may seem old fashioned but they're a must if you're new to an area. I recently spent a couple of weeks in Scotland and despite doing my research beforehand, I still wasn't sure where was best to visit.
I popped into the local tourist office run by Visit Scotland and a lovely girl there gave me fantastic advice on what was best to see. She then gave me a paper map on which she drew various circles to highlight the places she'd mentioned. I kept that map with me at and thanks to her I saw places I would otherwise have not known about.
Ahead of time, remember you can always check out the tourism offices online for the place you're visiting. If you're ever in Scotland, I recommend checking out the Visit Scotland website. Their Facebook feed is also a good source of location inspiration.
Beware Seasonal Opening Hours
This one recently caught me out. In remote places, you may find things in the smaller towns shut down in winter. Even larger tourist attractions may shut down for refurbishment in the quieter months.
If you're travelling out of season, double check your locations are actually open and accessible. This is again something that the local tourist information will be able to advise on.
Good Old Fashioned Paper Maps
Paper maps might seem old fashioned but they are fantastic for a number of reasons.
I have an AA Road Map that I keep in my car for emergencies and research purposes. One thing I love about these maps is that I can quickly look at the area around my location and lots of things are clearly marked: buildings, ruins, mountains, lakes…you don't need to apply filters or zoom to a certain level like on apps. They're also not reliant on a phone signal, which is useful when you're exploring off-grid.
A step further than road maps are ordnance survey maps. I love the detail of these maps as they show you fantastic information such as footpaths and trails. If you like the outdoors and hiking, it's worth picking up a local OS map for the area. There are many public footpaths running through rural areas in the UK which might not be obvious at first. A quick check of an OS Map or on Open Street Map will soon tell you if there's a path nearby.
Of course, if you don't have either of these available, this is where the local tourist information will come in useful. They nearly always have free maps covering the local area.
Photo sharing apps like Instagram & Flickr
If you use apps or sites like Instagram and Flickr, you'll notice when you upload images that it will try place your photo on the map or ask for a location. Luckily for us, we can make use of this data and search through other people's photos for a specific location.
Not only will this show you cool places to go, it will show you various photographic angles of the place, providing inspiration and also an idea of what shots to avoid. After all, we don't want everyone's images to look identical! Use this data to help you find a cool place but a new perspective.
An important side note: These tools can be super helpful but unfortunately you may need to wade through an increasing number of selfies or photos of cats! This tip tends to work best for more remote places rather than towns/cities or tourist hotspots.
Other Photographers
It's always worth keeping up with other photographers' work. It's nice to support each other and to see their beautiful images and editing trends forming. Friendly, fluffy stuff aside, you can also learn a lot from your peers. If I see a great photographer who specialises in an area I'm visiting, I'll be sure to look through their portfolio for inspiration. Again, if you refer to other people's photos for research, try not to be lazy and simply copy their shots – see if you can find an interesting new view!
Magazines are a goldmine of information and inspiration. It's worth noting that this doesn't mean you need to pop to your local newsagent for a paper copy. Most offer an alternative app or web subscription these days.
A recent example of how magazines have helped me is when I recently read a copy of Outdoor Photography magazine. If you like the outdoors and are planning a photo trip in the UK, pick up a copy of their magazine. Each month they have a list of suggested places to visit. Thanks to a recent issue, I found out you could hike up a mountain called The Cairnwell in Scotland which is where I got the below photo of a hare. Had I not bought and read that magazine, I would not have got this shot:
Shot Hotspot
About 6 months ago I discovered a website called Shot Hotspot. [Try saying that ten times quickly without getting tongue tied!]
Shot Hotspot is a fantastic website built upon data from Flickr and Panoramio. It lets you search not only places, but filter your search using a wide variety of terms. Want to know where's a popular sunrise spot nearby? Or perhaps you're keen on architecture? Or maybe you just want a nice landscape location. Shot Hotspot can help you find that. It overcomes the aforementioned GPS-tagged-selfie problem by seemingly only showing places with a large number of high quality photos. There's also a rating system in place although I'm not sure how many people use the site or how the ratings are generated.
I've used this app on many occasions. When out with other photographers, we've often been sure we're in the "right spot", but I've checked on Shot Hotspot and we've ended up moving at the last minute to find a better view.
Unfortunately there isn't a mobile app for Shot Hotspot just yet, but you can sign up to their mailing list to be notified when one's released. I'll definitely be grabbing a copy when it's out!
Go for a hike/walk/run WITHOUT your camera
This might seem like a weird suggestion from a photographer, but go out without your camera! Scout out a location in-person and really look around before you take hundreds of shots. I usually like to go for a run around new places before I do a shoot. I'll take my phone so I can snap a quick shot with GPS tag (so I don't forget). Then I'll work out the best time to return to that spot and go back another day with my photography gear.
By planning shoots in advance like this, it removes a lot of wasted time and guesswork. One of my most popular images from this year (below) was planned when I ran around Lake Wanaka in New Zealand and saw that famous tree. Rather than photographing it there-and-then or on a day trip, I researched sunrise times and went back the next morning. Sure, I had to wait on a freezing cold lakeside in the dark to take the shot, but it meant I ended up with the image below instead of a generic daytime shot:
So That's How I Find My Photo Locations!
I'm sure there are plenty of other tips I've missed. What are your secrets for scouting photo locations? Do you have any favourite apps, books or advice to add to the list? Do share them with us in the comments below!

It's Time: Goodbye, COMRADES
Edward Gough Whitlam 1916-2014
Gough Whitlam was prime minister of Australia for barely three years, from 1972-1975. He died on Tuesday, aged 98, missing a century by two years. He was twentieth century's most extraordinary Australian.
I'd come to Australia to study for my PhD in May 1974: to work on the writings of Patrick White but I could have done this in York, Toronto, or Austin, Texas . I'd fellowships from these two universities as well as the ANU.
I serendipitously chose the ANU. The reason was that Mr Gough Whitlam had become the Prime Minister of Australia in 1972, after 23 years of Liberal dominance of Menzies' mediocre governance. Australia was stable and stagnant after the terrible Second World War that had transformed the world forever.
Menzian stupor, for a more royalist and Anglo-centric Australia, was no longer adequate for a modern nation situated in the Asia-Pacific. The Japanese had shown how vulnerable the island-continent was from Asian forces.
Gough understood this better than most—he attempted to establish new relationship with Japan, China and Indonesia. Australia had to become part of Asia with its British and European heritage. But the geographical and economic realities were more important than historical origins.
Whitlam's vision of a new Australia touched my political imagination. His idea of Australia, its vibrant and various civilisation in-the-making, its position in the region, were so original that it appeared to take the Australian mind out of the pond into the oceans surrounding the great island-continent: he was the Captain Cook of politics exploring new horizons. White Australia was dead in the blue waters. The tyranny of distance was seen as the triumph of the nomads.
There are events that mark one's life, both with grief and glory. Four such events have become part of my experience: the first was the killing of Kennedy on November 22, 1963. I was a young teacher at the Doon school in Dehradun, India, celebrating my honeymoon.
The second was on 11 November, 1975, in Canberra, when I was reading Patrick White's novel The Eye of the Storm in my lonely room. A call came after lunch: Whitlam had been sacked! We rushed to the Parliament House. As David Smith, the Governor-General's secretary, read the proclamation, we were standing behind Mr Whitlam.
As Smith concluded with 'God Save the Queen', Whitlam gave his most famous line in Australian political oratory: 'Well may we say' God save the Queen' because nothing will save the Governor-General! The proclamation which you have just heard read by the Governor-General's official secretary was countersigned 'Malcolm Fraser' who will go down in Australian history from Remembrance Day 1975 as Kerr's cur'.
Sir John Kerr was Whitlam's choice for Australia's Governor-General as Zia ul-Haq was Bhutto's choice for the Chief of the Pakistani Army. Zia hanged Bhutto so mercilessly and died in a plane crash.
The other event that marks me is the assassination of Indira Gandhi—I've just been reading about it: As Indira is walking towards her office, the Sikh guard approaches her and points his gun at her chest: Bewildered the Prime Minister utters a single sentence: 'What are you doing?'
Within seconds 25 bullets are pumped into her delicate body by her two bodyguards.
I sometimes wonder what Kennedy was saying to Jackie when those fatal bullets hit his handsome head. Or What Mr Bhutto thoughts were as he was led to the gallows. Or What Indira Gandhi must have thought as the first bullets hit her fragile body from the guards she'd trusted so implicitly.
A moment can be an eternity depending on what it contains. Judas did it with a kiss.
My fourth experience of such an event happened in Fiji on May 14, 1987, in the Fiji Parliament. I was there. But now the less said about it the better.
Mr Whitlam's passing away brought these indelible and harrowing memories to my mind. Especially when I hear and read the outpouring of tributes to a truly towering personality in the large Australian landscape. He was a Gulliver among the Lilliputs:
the tallest tree in the orchard. Yet some politicians did everything to bring him down—they are not mourning the passing away of a giant; rather in his shadow they appear so small and average. One often mourns one's pettiness. He had not only shown them the light on the hill: he'd, in fact, become the light. And illuminated brilliantly an Australian possibility, albeit too briefly.
Tall poppies had to be cut down to size and the intrigues of the Governor-General, Senators, Fraser and his men, Murdoch's media, some judges , a few collegues, all contributed to the fall of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.
As a student, I'd felt that Whitlam would make immense difference not only to Australia but to the region. He wanted Australia to be a big-hearted nation– it was physically big but could it be bigger in its mental map and make-up also ?He'd attracted a variety of Australians to be part of the most exciting, exhilarating experiment of social democracy Down Under.
Within Australia he became the most reformist, revolutionary Prime Minister: medi-care, free tertiary education, law reform commission, legislation against racial discrimination, family law legislation, legal aid, arts funding, taking the French to international court of justice against nuclear testing in the Pacific, foreign relations, abolishing conscription, getting Australian troops out of Vietnam, abolition of the capital punishment, aboriginal land rights, introduction of 'one vote, one value', new ideas of social justice, gender equality , reduction of voting age, and myriad other reforms to make Australia an attractive society and a dynamic nation.
Soon after the election on December2, 1972, he held 13 portfolios, his deputy Lance Bernard had 14, until other members joined the cabinet in the new Year. Massive legislation passed through the Parliament.
It may remind some of us of recent and radical changes wrought in contemporary Fiji.
Launching his election campaign in 1972, Whitlam exhorted: 'Men and women of Australia! The decision we will make for our country on December 2 is a choice between the past and the future, between the habits and fears of the past, and demands and opportunities of the future. There are moments in history when the whole fate and future of nations can be decided by a single decision. For Australia this is such a time.'
Whitlam was not a modest man—he had little to be modest about—and he could have said justifiably: the whole fate and future can be decided by a single person!
He said he was not immortal but eternal. 'As you know, I plan for the ages, not just for this life', he'd remarked. As a navigator in the RAAF during the War, he must have touched the stars. When I meet Him, he assured his followers, I'll treat Him as an equal! His wit was self-deprecatory, and at times withering.
A reporter who was pestering him unnecessarily about abortion was told, 'In your case it should apply retrospectively!'
In myriad ways, in less than three years, he affected the life of so many in a nation and aroused them from that mutton stupor of the conservatives and tried to remove the wool from their eyes. They finally made him a martyr but he was truly the man for all reasons and seasons for Australia.
Most leaders would have disappeared in the pages of history but Whitlam was always a presence as a diplomat, intellectual, author. I sometimes attended his book launches –he was an erudite scholar of Greek and Latin and he seldom failed to show it off. His launch speeches, one felt, were longer than the book he was launching!
But, above all, he was a family man. The love-story of Margaret and Gough is the true legend of Australian politics akin to the story of Laura and Voss in that great eponymous novel of Patrick White. They met in 1939 and married in 1942.Their marriage lasted for 70 years. They had four children.
Margaret Whitlam was herself an independent woman of strong views and a distinctive voice. Together they set about changing the image and realities of Australia for the men and women of their nation. Margaret died in 2012. Whitlam seemed to lose his conscience and companion and that great will to live for the welfare of others once his life-partner was no more.
On the dark day that Kerr's proclamation dismissed him, Margaret was in Sydney. Later she told Whitlam: 'You should have torn it up. There were only two of you there. Or you should have slapped his face and told him to pull himself together.' That would have been the most powerful political slap in history. And well-deserved, too.
Many today will not remember the dismal day when Whitlam was dismissed. But few will forget the day he died. It was a bleak, cold day in Canberra . I remember both days. It seems such a privilege to have come to Australia when Gough Whitlam was the prime minister. One heard him, and read Patrick white—the two genuine but flawed geniuses Australia produced in its 200 years of settlement.
Edward Gough Whitlam and Patrick Martindale White, a prime minister and a writer, both deserve the epithet 'great' in their epitaph. They were friends. Both in some measure touched my life and family:
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at the close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Edward Gough Whitlam , PM, had urged : 'Maintain the rage, comrades!'

News 09:12 December 2019:
All our services are working fast and instantly. Feel free to try us out , we even have a the free trial.
You might have noticed that there is a real obsession with twitter likes. Digital marketers are particularly interested in them and are working day and night to9 get them. You might have even heard of people buying the likes and you just cannot understand why people are going to these lengths. The one thing that you should keep in mind is that people are going after them this bad they must have something to offer. The fact that such a large number of people is interested in them simply means that there is definitely something good that they are bringing to the table.
There are definitely a good number of benefits that come from having a large number of twitter likes. It is important, in this regard, to understand that we are living in a world where digital marketing is now the go to option. Businesses are increasingly accepting the fact that the digital space is where businesses are currently being conducted and where they are growing from. To remain relevant in the current business world, it is important for one to have that digital presence.
Twitter likes are extremely effective at giving one the visibility that they need on the digital platforms. Running a social media campaign is not very hard; it does require time and effort but is relatively easy compared to the traditional marketing techniques. There is however one very important factor that needs to never be forgotten. It does not matter how perfect your social media campaign or strategy is, if it does not get you visibility it will not get you success. Visibility basically means that people are noticing and recognizing your presence on the social media platforms. The likes are very good at getting you this visibility.
Twitter likes will attract people to you. At the end of the day, marketing on any platform, is about getting people to know about you and the products that you are selling. This simply means that you will have to get the attention of the people so that they can listen to what you are saying. Without their attention, you cannot get your message across. The likes are extremely good at getting you this attention. The many likes will pick people's curiosity; they will be wondering what it is that is so good about you that everybody likes. They will then be drawn to you.
The one fact about twitter likes that cannot be ignored is that they are a great marketing tool. You can never ignore the crucial role that they play in getting businesses to the next level. For your business to grow, your revenue has to increase. For your revenue to increase, your sales have to increase. Increased sales are brought about by an increased number of customers. Customer numbers only increase when more and more people get to know of the existence of your business and its products and services. These likes are extremely effective at helping to get the word out. Take advantage of them today and see your business grow.
Tips for increasing your Twitter likes
Twitter is a great arsenal for your business if used appropriately. It can help you creates leads, strengthen your brand and initiate connections with your prospects. The problem is, if you do not have active followers, you can't reap all these benefits. That is why it is important that you increase the number of your twitter likes because it attracts many people to follow you.
Creating an active following on Twitter hold real value for your business, not just for prestige, but also, for helping your brand get viral online. According to research, 36% of marketers claim to have gained their customer by using twitter. Therefore, increasing the number of likes, I create an opportunity to gain more followers who are potential customers for your business.
Creates Good Impression
There are many ways you can use Twitter to increase sales and promote your business including increasing your twitter likes. You need to create a good impression so that you increase chances of followers to like your tweets. It has been proven that the best way to intensely increase the number of likes on your twitter account is by packaging your post in such a way that it will be attractive to intended followers. The moment your followers get impressed by what you post, they will definitely like it, thus, increasing your twitter like.
Increase Tweets with visuals
According to Twitter, the tweets and message with visuals get more likes than those that do not have visuals. This indicates that if your tweets do not contain visuals, you are missing many likes which could boost the number of likes in your account. If you want to increase your twitter likes, the post s many messages as possible containing visuals that can attract the followers.
Mix-up your Content
When you post the same message over and over again, your followers are likely to get bored. Instead, find a way to mix the content of your message so that every time you post it will appear differently but containing the same message. This way, you are likely to attract many twitter likes. By posting a variety of different message, it won't look like you are just concerned about your business and its services all the time. Therefore, you will get more likes.
Likes other people's Posts Regularly
When you like other people's tweets, you create a great opportunity to increase more likes because people will appreciate those appreciate them. Therefore, you should know the kind of tweets that you need to like so that you can increase online visibility by people who matter to you. If you are a business, you need to regularly like posts from key thinkers in your industry, or companies that you would like to work with or know more about.
You also need to identify influencers, whether individual or companies because they will help to share your message with their customer, earning you brand recognition, likes, and more customers. So, keep on liking tweets from your influencers, and you will be surprised how faster your twitter likes will increase. However, make sure you do not just like them; choose the kind of message to like so that you don't end up annoying both the influencer and your followers.

Forgetting the Poor
Today I woke up, spent some time reading Psalm 119 and the next thought that consumed me was a phrase by our pastor, at Redeemer Community Church, that went something like this "we entertain ourselves at any expense and neglect the poor". And then after arriving at work, forgetting my thoughts about it this morning... I read this blog.

Busy Phillips was hospitalized for a scary condition, and all women should read this
When it comes to our health and overall well-being, it's always better to be safe than sorry, and that's the message Busy Philipps is spreading after her recent ovarian torsion diagnosis. On Saturday night, Philipps was out and about celebrating the birthday of her BFF Michelle Williams (in matching BFF jackets) when she started experiencing an intense pain in her lower right abdomen. The pain became so excruciating that it landed the actress in the hospital.
Philipps used her health scare to educate her followers. "Last night ended super weird," the actress wrote on Instagram. "But if you listen to my podcast, you know our advice is always, don't be a hero, go to the doctor." Busy co-hosts a health and wellness podcast called "We're No Doctors" with Steve Agee, fellow actor and self-professed hypochondriac.
The two often talk about the importance of listening to your body, which thankfully, is exactly what she did.
After a long night at Mass General Hospital in Boston, doctors finally figured out the cause of Busy's pain.
An ovarian torsion occurs when your ovary twists around or flip over the ligaments by which they're suspended, cutting off blood supply and causing excruciating pain. This sounds absolutely terrifying and we're grateful Phillipps has shared her experience because many women may be unaware of this risk.
According to Prevention, ovarian torsion is most common among women of childbearing age. Mike Hoaglin, M.D., an emergency room physician at Duke University Hospital says, "With young women, the tissue is more flexible, and the ovary can move and twist with hormonal changes." That said, it's not impossible for this problem to occur in postmenopausal women or in prepubescent girls.
While speaking to Cosmo, Dr. April Batcheller, M.D., a reproductive endocrinologist at the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine, said ovarian torsions can come out of nowhere, but they're also associated with pregnancy, a history of torsion, tied tubes, or enlarged ovaries linked to ovulation, ovarian cysts, or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). If you currently have any of the above risk factors, vigorous physical activities like working out or even having sex could increase your likelihood of experiencing a torsion.
The condition often requires surgery, but luckily Busy didn't need it since her ovary "flipped back by itself," as she stated in her post.
And we're inclined to agree. We know it can be easy to go the "wait and see what happens" route, but we should never take a gamble when it comes to our health.

Betcoin.ag is an 'all in one' Bitcoin gambling destination offering Casino, Live Casino, Sportbook, Poker and Dice. Not to be confused with Betcoin.tm, which is an entirely different Bitcoin gambling site, Betcoin.ag originally started as separate URLs for each gaming vertical before being grouped together as one big entertainment centre for Bitcoin gambling. As well as accepting Bitcoin, Betcoin.ag also allows players to deposit and withdraw using Litecoin.
Games and Software
Betcoin.ag offers a large selection of slots titles as well as table games and live dealer games by game provider including Aristocrat, Betsoft and Novomatic. There is a large focus on 3D slots of which this site has many, provided by the fantastic Betsoft. For the video poker fan, the site also offers a decent and varied selection.
Live Casino
The Betcoin.ag Live Casino experience is powered by Ezugi and offers live dealer versions of popular table / casino games including Live Roulette, Live Lottery, Live Baccarat, Live Blackjack and Live Keno.
The site also has an integrated Sportsbook, adding another level of options for visitors. Here you can place bets on all the major sports from around the world and all the major sporting events that take place annually. And for those who like to bet on the increasingly popular e-sports, there are plenty of options here to bet on eSports.
As if a Casino and a Sportsbook wasn't enough, Betcoin.ag also offers Poker which can be accessed via the website (desktop and mobile) or via the downloadable desktop client (app) for Windows PCs. Powering the Betcoin Poker experience is the Winning Poker Network (WPN) software – a popular platform for online poker, used to power many poker sites across the web.
Rounding off the Betcoin package is Dice. This dice offering works the same as a lot of other popular provably fair Dice games on the internet, except this one is integrated into a site which covers the full spectrum of Bitcoin gambling. Players can play Betcoin dice using either Bitcoin or Litecoin and can withdraw winnings instantly.
Welcome bonus offers are available to Casino and Poker players only at Betcoin.ag, but they have some great offers in place. Let's break them down:
1. First Deposit Bonus –
100% deposit match up to 1BTC (1000 credits) + 1 free spin.
2. Second Deposit Bonus –
50% deposit match up to 1BTC (1000 credits) + 1 free spin.
3. Third Deposit Bonus –
25% Deposit match up to 1BTC (1000 credits) + 1 free spin.
All casino welcome bonuses require a minimum deposit of 0.05 BTC.
100% Welcome Bonus up to 1 BTC / 1000 credits. Plus a free ticket into the 250 GTD New Depositor Freeroll.
VIP Programme
Bitcoin.ag offers an extensive, multi-tier VIP program called the 'VIP Player's Club'. The program span's Betcoin's entire gaming network including Casino, Live Casino, Sportsbook, Poker, Dice and Tournaments.
How it works – Players earn their way up the VIP program by playing at the site and building up enough status points to level up though the VIP Club. Each level has it's own set of benefits that get better and better as you progress. Each level also has it's own sub levels, for example: Bronze levels 1, 2 and 2. The levels include: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Emerald, Ruby, Diamond and Master.
The requirements and the rewards and benefits are quite extensive, but thankfully Betcoin have broken them down into an easy to follow table which can be viewed here.
Registration at Betcoin.ag is extremely painless – only a username, email address and password are needed. You can be playing in no time.
Register an account now.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Deposits and withdrawals are almost instant! To deposit you simply need to send funds from your BTC / LTC wallet, to the website's wallet address. Alternatively there is an option to use QR codes.
Support is great at Betcoin.ag with a customer service team on hand via live chat (8:00am – 5:00pm ET) and via email. The site also has a ticketing system in place for players to submit a support ticket and wait for a response form the support team. A detailed FAQ section is also available on the site which could very well answer your questions.
One of the best things about Betcoin.ag is its amazing mobile experience. Viewing and navigating around the site on a phone or tablet is an absolute pleasure and is a very user-friendly experience. This gets top marks from us, as we are now living in a 'mobile-first' world, it's only right that Bitcoin casinos offer a flawless mobile experience.
If you're after a 'one stop' gambling destination where you can gamble with both Bitcoins and Litecoins, this is the site for you. Perhaps letting the site down slightly is the fact that the desktop site isn't as user-friendly as it could be – the design isn't as slick as some other sites, and a lot of menus and sub menus can seem confusing at first. Aside from that though, the extent of what this site has to offer is quite remarkable. Add to that a great mobile experience and a great VIP program and you get one of the better Bitcoin Gambling sites on the market.

406 15th Street Now Renting Apartments
First of the Month Milestone.
Looks like people have finally taken up residency in several of the twenty seven *Certified for Temporary Occupancy* apartments in the Armory Heights Plaza. Just two months shy of our four year anniversary.
To be honest I don't have any pictures of anyone actually moving in as proof, but I do have these photos of people moving out of the building next door, 1504 8th Avenue, during what came to be known at the time as the Brooklyn Buildings Department immanently perilous to your life cracktoberfeast forced emergency vacation order.
I know, I know, it's July of 2006, but if you just look at those faces, you can tell the tenants really, really, want to get in to their apartments (to get their stuff before the building falls apart).
Queuing up to get in.
Question, people who regularly read this blog...And how would you have known that the white dude wearing the flip flops wasn't getting ready to move in if I hadn't just told you otherwise?
If there are any of the old 1504 tenants still looking for a place to live, why not rent a place at the Armory Heights Plaza? Just think of the possibilities.
1 comment:
Where did all the renters come from? Seems like one morning, the building was fully occupied - no piecemeal arrival of renters as one would expect. None of the local realtors seem to have (had) any listings for this.
The tenants must have been drawn in by the big shiny chandelier...

Introduction Paid Membership Software
Wonderful membership platforms need to be simple enough to work with when membership websites are established, but need to provide the room for all these sites to grow as they become successful. In this MemberMouse Review, we'll go over the advantages and disadvantages of using MemberMouse for WordPress membership websites, and the way that MemberMouse matches the requirements of various users. Paid Membership Software
Getting Started
The cool thing about this is you can change the registered URL, so in the event that you would like to utilize MemberMouse on a staging site before visiting a production website, you can enroll the staging site URL and fully setup your website and associates for launching, then migrate the URL into the live website. As soon as your website URL is registered on your MemberMouse accounts, you may then download the MemberMouse plugin in your dashboard and install it on your WordPress website. From that point, you are ready to begin configuring your site.If you don't want to set up the website yourself, then you can buy Quick Start support out of MemberMouse for $299, which includes a WordPress installation (optional), MemberMouse installation following a consultation call, and also an optional migration of registration data out of an existing site. Paid Membership Software
MemberMouse Overview
It supplies a full-featured solution for memberships, including content restriction, flexible billing options, content dripping, restricting logins, and supports programmer tweaks and adjustments. Additionally, MemberMouse can provide upsells to members, or automatically offer downsells to customers that wish to cancel in order to boost client retention and optimize revenue. MemberMouse also allows members to update or downgrade memberships .You may take a look at a complete feature list from MemberMouse to each the juicy details in one spot, or see our overview of some MemberMouse attributes.
Configuring MemberMouse
MemberMouse generates several webpages when installed (similar to an eCommerce plugin), for example voucher pages, login/out pages for associates, and more. You can customize these pages in order to check the best approach for your store, but I decided to get set up.You can check out your membership dashboard when you log in to observe some compressed details about your site, but since I have not set up anything yet, I headed down to the General Settings menu to see what options I had.Under general preferences, I navigated to"Other Settings" and was able to change what members see when logged , for example, page they are redirected to and if to display protected menu items (by way of example, if you're protecting products from non-members). One setting that many of you may find interesting is the"Access Sharing Security"This little box allows you to limit how many different IP addresses may log in to your website using the very same credentials in a 24-hour period. I would allow more than one IP address if members utilize a computer and a mobile device to look at your content. That way they do not get frustrated by being locked out of your site when using a different device. For some membership sites, the capability to limit login info is non-negotiable, therefore MemberMouse becomes an attractive choice.MemberMouse also allows you to create Employee users under General Settings so that support or sales personnel can log into your site and member center in order to create or assist members, but don't have access to site configuration options. When sales or support people log in, they only have access to the"Manage Members" menu, MemberMouse Dashboard, and Task Logs.As a final note on installation, MemberMouse comprises a few built-in widgets that you can use to exhibit content throughout your website. By way of instance, the"Protected Content" widget may display upcoming content to members according to which membership level accessibility they have so they understand what to look forward to (date can be included too ).

Creating Products with MemberMouse
One word of warning for those of you trying MemberMouse: watch the tutorial movies. Usually documentation is great for when I get stuck instead of as a starting point, but I wasn't certain why products and memberships were split in the manner they were.MemberMouse assigns membership access to different products. If you're new at this, it may seem redundant to separate memberships out of products initially; nonetheless, this permits you far more flexibility in pricing your membership solutions. You may produce a"Bronze" membership access level and connect it to multiple products, such as a standard product (at a single cost ), a discounted merchandise (using a promotional price), and an affiliate product (using a price for users referred from an affiliate). After viewing the videos and understanding this arrangement, I really liked the flexibility provided by separating membership access from products.Products are created beneath Product Settings. Both virtual and physical products are handled from precisely the same page, and after your goods are set up, you can then create membership accessibility levels and assign them to your products. To begin, delegate your"Associated Access" for your products to"none" since you'll be setting up memberships afterwards.Together with MemberMouse, you are able to make sign-up fees or trial intervals. If you enable"Trials", you can optionally specify a cost for a trial period (which can be $0), then decide how long that trial period will operate. If you only want to use this for a sign-up fee, then it's possible to set a one-day trial and then start the membership. This is not ideal, as the monthly fee won't be shown instantly at checkout because just the signup fee is shown, but it works well enough that it shouldn't be an issue. Your product description should explain fees and billing anyway.You can also make products"shippable" to take advantage of the limited shipping methodsaccessible MemberMouse for memberships which involve bodily products. Paid Membership Software
Creating Membership Gain with MemberMouse
Once products are made, you can then create membership accessibility levels to tie to any of your membership solutions. These membership levels will establish the content restriction rules for members. But, you can also edit the accessibility rules on a per-post or per-page basis.When you create a membership level, you may assign that access level to a specific product. This is precisely what I was talking about in regard to versatility — you can assign an access level for as many goods as you want, so in the event that you offer promotional pricing for email subscribers or testimonials from your own affiliates, you can tie the same accessibility to each of the products.You'll also select which classes will be protected for that entry level in precisely the exact same display. Multiple post categories can be chosen for access. As a default, access will be restricted for the entire article for each post in the category. However, it is possible to get around this to exhibit post excerpts and teasers using Smart Tags. Access can also be set on a per-post or per-page foundation while editing a post or page. The post / webpage editor is also where you'll handle content dripping. Dripping is flexible and super-simple, as you may specify a delay in accessibility for each membership level concerning days.Once content dripping is installed, it is possible to view schedules for each membership degree below Product Settings > Content Dripping Schedule to find a general view of if each access level can see content. This page will also enable you to mass edit access rights for each membership level, and customize content dripping occasions for each entry level. It's really helpful for those that currently have a good deal of content created, and just want to assign drip times and access rights from one screen.Not sure how it will look to each member? MemberMouse has a cool feature where you can preview content from a particular entry level's point of view, and also from many of days to the membership (to determine how your content leaking will affect what members see). Examine the top of your display when previewing your site.
MemberMouse Smart Tags
Before you begin setting up your website to market membership goods, you will want to check out a few of the built-in shortcodes for MemberMouse, known as Smart Tags. It is possible to use smart tags to add buy links for your merchandise, selectively restrict (or remove restrictions from) certain parts of content to create excerpts, and display member data. Smart tags also allow you to insert links that enable members to handle their own subscriptions, update memberships, or even purchase new products. Since you're able to customize the member's"My Account Page", you can upsell bundles for many members, or dynamically display upsells for every membership level.
Selling Bundles
MemberMouse has yet another sales choice of which you may take advantage. Participants can't purchase more than 1 membership degree using MemberMouse. However, you may use another content restriction instrument, called a bundle, to provide a topic-based membership. This is also the way you can offer upsells to present members. You can assign many products to a bundle in precisely the exact same way which it is possible to assign many products to a membership access level. Bundles allow you to expand the material accessibility a product supplies when used in this manner.Because Bundles are tied to goods in precisely the exact same manner as membership accessibility, bundles can also take advantage of material dripping. The benefit to using bundles is that members can buy more than 1 package at a time.

Selling and Handling MemberMouse Memberships
When you're done learning about smart tags, establishing goods, access levels, and articles dripping, you will want to sell the memberships you've created. While MemberMouse automatically creates a whole lot of pages, it does not produce a catalog or sales page. For me personally this is a great thing, since I believe selling memberships to possible users requires long-form content anyhow — members probably aren't likely to visit your website and browse for memberships straight away.To market memberships, you ought to create posts or pages with purchase links. It's possible to replicate purchase links from the merchandise settings for each item, or generate a buy link employing a smart label if the connection has been posted on your WordPress website (that is what we've done in the screenshot). You might also utilize MemberMouse's built-in button styles rather than the ones out of the motif (mine are a bit lackluster since we're using the default theme).
MemberMouse prices are dependent on the amount of users for your membership site, however MemberMouse isn't a genuine SaaS solution, since the MemberMouse plugin runs on your own servers. You put in the plugin on your website, but will also possess a MemberMouse account; your website then checks in with the MemberMouse licensing server to deliver data on site usage. Because this is a"check in", your site does not need MemberMouse's licensing servers to conduct the membership part of your site. As a result, site performance is entirely dependent on your hosting and surroundings.MemberMouse pricing ranges from $20 a month for 1,000 users up to premium and specialist programs at $300-600 a month for sites with over 100,000 users (service is included for all plans). Each pricing grade provides distinct benefits (such as premium support starting with advanced programs ), but here's a rough breakdown of cost based on number of users.
Managing Members
One of the wonderful things about MemberMouse is that members may handle themeselves, which can help free up time you would otherwise spend on site administration. By way of instance, member updates, downgrades, and cancellations can be accomplished by members at the"My Account" page. You could even personalize the member"My Account" page to automatically upsell your products for you, or to try to conserve sales if members wish to cancel.When members make adjustments to their account, these changes are automatically reflected on your email lists or alternative integrations built-in to MemberMouse so you don't need to manually manage fluctuations in membership (i.e., moving out of the"golden" listing to the"platinum" email list). The members center is geared towards automating and simplifying your website management, which can save massive amounts of time for websites with thousands of members.If you'd like to downsell members who would prefer to cancel, you also can take advantage of the MemberMouse Save the Sale webpage , which lets you create a downsell which will be shown to members that are looking to cancel a membership. If members do cancel, you can choose to difficult cancel the membership, which blocks access into the members area and logging in, or you can pause the membership. When a member pauses their accounts (or you choose to place cancellations to membership pauses), their membership is actually frozen so that they have access to any content that has been released up to this point, but are removed from the drip schedule and cannot access any new content. Paid Membership Software
Billing and Payments
You may continue to bill on a recurring basis indefinitely, or you can decide on lots of bicycles for the membership (for example"3 payments of $19.95″). In addition, you are able to bill a one-time fee for memberships (though I'd recommend avoiding this unless you're just starting out, since you'll constantly have to pursue new associates, which kind of defeats the purpose of a recurring billing version ).You can even use coupons with MemberMouse, and decide whether to use them to the first billing cycle or the life of the membership. Coupons can provide a percentage a dollar-amount reduction. Coupons can also be made to provide an entirely free membership, or you could make a membership to get a customer yourself and deductions which subscription instead. Coupon usage can be limited to specific products or quite a few applications.The very best part about billing is that you can control recurring billing activities, like refunds, straight from MemberMouse rather than logging in to your account with your payment processor. Finally, MemberMouse integrates with several popular payment providers, including Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, Braintree, and ClickBank. It's possible to use one onsite payment system, for example Stripe or Authorize.net, and at the same time use PayPal or ClickBank to provide up to 3 payment options.Because cards are tokenized and saved to get members, MemberMouse can also help automate overdue payment managing to save your client control team time and maintain your revenue stream flowing. When MemberMouse detects that a card has been diminished , it marks the member's account as overdue, then sends the manhood and email asking him to login and update the card information in the accounts. The member can then update billing information from the"My Account" page. The penis is then instantly charged the amount as a result of member account is reactivated.
MemberMouse isn't designed to become an eCommerce platform, but it does allow you to sell some physical products through your website and to sell physical goods with subscriptions, such as magazines (though I believe it does a far better job with virtual products than physical products). When you produce your product, you mark it as"shippable", then set up basic transport prices (such as regular and expedited shipping).As for me, I'd only include shipping as part of the membership pricing per month (and promote this actuality!) To simplify my shop management, however, the delivery methods can be helpful for promoting'swag' items and other physical products for your site.
MemberMouse includes a couple of integrations built in to assist you with your site management. First, email is essential for communication and engagement. Rather than set up an internal email program, MemberMouse integrates directly with email marketing firms like MailChimp and AWeber. It is possible to use this integration to handle your connection with members having an email platform you're already acquainted with, and transferring members between automatic lists to help save you time.MemberMouse also integrates with iDevAffiliate to manage affiliates to your membership site. When clients are sent from an affiliate, this will automatically be mentioned in the member accounts, and you'll be able to choose to dynamically display content or offers to members according to what affiliate referred them to your site.
Talking of Developers
If you're a sophisticated user, or have a programmer on staff, you can further automate a lot of MemberMouse functions. Besides clever tags (shortcodes in WordPress lingo), there are plenty of filters and actions available, in addition to a well-documented collection of global purposes for use in templates as well as other custom code. This means that MemberMouse can always be the heart of information for your membership-based business.MemberMouse also has an API that programmers can use to integrate MemberMouse with external systems, which isn't the case with all membership plugins. This permits you to make, get, and update information about members.
MemberMouse includes email support with all plans, also offers various other tools for consumers. Total documentation is available, and was fairly helpful for me personally. Some documentation includes movie walkthroughs, and all settings and functions are documented. I just used the support desk one time for an issue with the smart tag libraryand received a response to the question I submitted at the morning later the same day, and got a followup email to let me understand the issue would be resolved in the next release.Furthermore, there's developer documentation available for site customizations. If you're running a membership site with tens of thousands of members, odds are you have a developer on retainer or one on staff, so getting docs handy for tweaks and customizations is a plus. Paid Membership Software
MemberMouse Review
MemberMouse offers huge functionality and will allow you to treat your membership site like a business rather than a hobby. Since it's intended for sites with tens of thousands of associates, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Setting up a site and fundamental content restriction is simple (especially with the assistance of the"Getting Started" videos), but far more personalization is possible in case you're willing to make a time investment in website optimization and setup. There's definitely a learning curve involved in using MemberMouse, but it's in proportion to the sum of performance you escape the plugin, since it has almost everything you might desire in a membership platform.
MemberMouse makes it easy to enhance the Lifetime Value of your loved ones by providing the ability for same-sex earnings. By removing barriers to purchase for existing members, you are able to drastically increase conversions. When members are logged in, purchase links simply open a pop-up confirming the purchase will be charged to the card on the account to make the purchase essentially a one-click sale (account information is currently prepopulated with all the payment information tokenized in the customer accounts ). Since you've gone through the time and cost to obtain these members, up-selling them is made as simple as possible to create additional revenue and to help them locate different products.Another interesting feature is the ability to email purchase links to members, so that when the link is clicked, members are logged in and delivered to some pre-populated cart to again remove as many barriers as possible to purchase.The level of support MemberMouse provides was interesting for me personally, as many membership solutions offer you the plugin / integration and service, and that is it. The Fast Start agency is a white-gloved install and setup, which is offered by a few other providers, but MemberMouse additionally provides a list of experienced builders, and encourages present users to become affiliates to advertise the services. Developer resources are also a excellent improvement, and help you to customize, tweak, or expand your use of MemberMouse beyond WordPress. Paid Membership Software

[Lumo] helps us increase productivity, alleviate stress on the traveler and allows Adelman Travel to deliver real value at a critical time.

The travel ecosystem needs to do a better job of helping [travelers] make better itinerary decisions, whether it's helping him choose a better flight or to react proactively to potential delays to minimize the cost of last-minute rescheduling.
In a market where services compete to simply inform passengers of delays after they have happened, Lumo's offering stands out because they assess the risk of delay before it happens, helping passengers proactively manage their delays instead of simply reacting to them.
Lumo gives me that trusted advisor role to produce goodwill, interact with travelers and make sure they get a good experience
We want to help travellers be able to act, not react, to what is impacting their itineraries. Instead of flight tracking we monitor flights for users—anticipating future delay and alerting them to potential problems.
Instead of focusing on getting a traveler out of a mess, which is like putting out a fire, use the data to fireproof the trip.
Lumo was created so that not only can you see the risk of your flight being delayed, but also quickly seek a better alternative.

Vladimir Mau delivered a First-Day RANEPA Summer Campus 2017 lecture
On July 9, rector of RANEPA Vladimir Mau delivered a lecture on Technological Challenges for Economic Policy in front of the participants of RANEPA Summer Campus.
Before starting his lecture Vladimir Mau congratulated all the present students on the beginning of their work-intensive activity on RANEPA Summer Campus. He told what kinds of socio-economic consequences are being caused by global technological transformations in the present-day world. These changes occur in different areas: in modern technologies, in economic, social and political spheres.
The lecturer highlighted the fundamental scientific and technological trends seen at the heart of social, economic and political transformations. These changes create new conditions for the significantly increased competition; at the same time factors having a decisive effect on the competition have also changed.
One of such trends influencing the competition is the deep market transformation. It is impossible to accurately predict what professions will be in demand in the future; but there is no doubt that some of the professions existing nowadays will cease to exist. Another trend consists in the fact that natural resources and salary are no longer considered to be the main factors for increasing competitiveness and attracting investments. They give place to innovation technologies and demand for goods.
In addition, Vladimir Mau singled out another trend - the pessimistic and optimistic views on technologies. Those ones who share a pessimistic view think that technological development will eventually lead to total unemployment, as well as to social and political disruptions. Those ones who share an optimistic view believe that technological progress will conversely resolve these problems, as with the advent of a new sphere or a branch new demands appear, particularly the demand in human resources.
In the course of the lecture participants of RANEPA Summer Campus asked Vladimir Mau a lot of interesting and serious questions. For example, when asked about connections between economic growth and growth in prosperity, Vladimir Mau responded that it is impossible to unmistakably tell if the growth of one indicator leads to the increase in another one. With technological development that allows to get cheaper and better quality goods and services, the decrease in GDP is taking place.
For example, when buying a gadget a user no longer needs a lot of services, such as catching a cab or printing a paperback. One gadget combines multiple functions – TV, radio, telephone, a book. Thus, GDP is decreasing, but level of prosperity grows as using services on principal to principal basis is much cheaper and more convenient. 'We cannot say that the GDP rate is a comprehensive indicator, and moreover, there is no universal indicator that would measure the happiness of people or the level of economic development,' Vladimir Mau summarized.

The importance of willow thickets for ptarmigan and hares in shrub tundra : the more the better?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
Rapid, landscape scale responses in riparian tundra vegetation to exclusion of small and large mammalian herbivores
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
Productive tundra plant communities composed of a variety of fast growing herbaceous and woody plants are likely to attract mammalian herbivores. Such vegetation is likely to respond to different-sized herbivores more rapidly than currently acknowledged from the tundra. Accentuated by currently changing populations of arctic mammals there is a need to understand impacts of different-sized herbivores ...
Red fox takeover of arctic fox breeding den : an observation from Yamal Peninsula, Russia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
Here, we report from the first direct observation of a red fox (Vulpes vulpes) intrusion on an arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) breeding den from the southern Arctic tundra of Yamal Peninsula, Russia in 2007. At the same time, as a current range retraction of the original inhabitant of the circumpolar tundra zone the arctic fox is going on, the red fox is expanding their range from the south into arctic ...
Population dynamics of tundra voles in relation to configuration of willow thickets in southern arctic tundra
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
The areal extent and conWguration of thickets of willow shrubs are currently changing in the Arctic both as an eVect of global warming and changed browsing pressure of reindeer. These changes have been predicted to impact the distribution and abundance of wildlife species relying on willow thickets as habitat. We assessed the relation between variables quantifying willow thicket configuration and ...
Harbour seal Phoca vitulina movement patterns in the high-Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-03)
Harbour seals Phoca vitulina are mainly considered a temperate species, but the world's northernmost population resides year-round in the high-Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. In this study we document post-moulting at-sea movements of 30 individuals from this population using satellite relay data loggers deployed in the autumns of 2009 and 2010. All of the seals showed a strong preference for ...
Bears are simply voles writ large: social structure determines the mechanisms of intrinsic population regulation in mammals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Community-wide mesocarnivore response to partial ungulate migration
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Arctic Small Rodents Have Diverse Diets and Flexible Food Selection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
The ecology of small rodent food selection is poorly understood, as mammalian herbivore food selection theory has mainly been developed by studying ungulates. Especially, the effect of food availability on food selection in natural habitats where a range of food items are available is unknown. We studied diets and selectivity of grey-sided voles (Myodes rufocanus) and tundra voles (Microtus oeconomus), ...
Shedding new light on the diet of Norwegian lemmings: DNA metabarcoding of stomach content
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Lemmings are key herbivores in many arctic food webs, and their population dynamics have major impacts on the functioning of tundra systems. However, current knowledge of lemming diet is limited, hampering evaluation of lemming–vegetation interactions. This lack of knowledge is mainly due to methodological challenges, as previously used microhistological methods result in large proportions of poorly ...
Outbreaks by canopy-feeding geometrid moth cause state-dependent shifts in understorey plant communities
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
The increased spread of insect outbreaks is among the most severe impacts of climate warming predicted for northern boreal forest ecosystems. Compound disturbances by insect herbivores can cause sharp transitions between vegetation states with implications for ecosystem productivity and climate feedbacks. By analysing vegetation plots prior to and immediately after a severe and widespread ...

Happy National Coming Out Day! Every year since 1988, Americans across the country celebrate the power of coming out as a member of the LGBT community on October 11.
While India's Supreme Court recently overturned Section 377 of its penal code, which criminalized gay sex, members of the country's LGBT community continue to face stigma both in their families and in the workplace. Many LGBT artists are addressing those stigmas in their work today.
We've rounded up four web series featuring South Asian characters that you should check out this National Coming Out Day. Each reflects the diversity of the LGBT experience while also, in many cases, highlighting the challenges members of the community face in South Asia and the diaspora to this day.
"The 'Other' Love Story"
When director Roopa Rao released "The 'Other' Love Story," it was widely praised both in India and around the world. The series follows two teen girls named Aadya and Aachal as they navigate their budding relationship in 1990s Bangalore. The story is set in a time before cell phones and widespread Internet access, so viewers get to see the girls navigate their crowded homes while also discreetly calling each other on their families' landlines. Many reviewers noted that in addition to being memorable and touching, "The 'Other' Love Story" was also the first-ever Indian web series to feature a lesbian relationship.
You can check out this trailblazing series in its entirety on Revry.
"Brown Girls"
Created by poet and writer Fatimah Asghar, "Brown Girls" was an instant hit when it debuted on Elle.com in 2017. Starring Nabila Hossain and Sonia Denis as a queer Pakistani-American writer and an African-American musician, "Brown Girls" is based on Asghar's own relationship with her best friend Jamila Woods. She is currently in talks with HBO to bring the series to television.
Asghar told us in June that she believed that "Brown Girls" clicked with so many people because the characters were both nuanced and realistic. "Sometimes it can be disheartening to see representations of people of color where they are just stock characters, like 'this is a smart Indian girl' or 'this is a sassy black friend,' and that's all they're about," she noted. "What I was trying to do was paint these characters as nuanced humans and I hope that came across."
Stream the entire series here.
"Romil and Jugal"
This new series is an Indian take on Romeo and Juliet. It features two men in a forbidden relationship. Jugal is a quiet South Indian Tamil man who unexpectedly falls for Romil, a boisterous Punjabi who is his opposite in almost every way. When the relationship becomes known to both of the couple's families, "Romil and Jugal" details each set of parents slow journey to acceptance.
Check out "Romil and Jugal" here.
"America Mappillai"
The plot for the Tamil series "America Mappillai" sounds like a spin on the classic 1970s sitcom "Three's Company." Like many young Indians, lead character Ganesh finds that he's under intense pressure from his father to marry. To put his family off, a friend of Ganesh's suggests that he pretend to be gay. As one might expect, crazy antics (and unexpected consequences) then ensue.

Eight days to go, that's what we were telling ourselves. That's what the calendar said and the midwife said and the doctor said. Our little lady though, she decided that the last days were going to go differently. We had a question around her reduced movement this morning, for which we went to the hospital for a check. Which is always okay to do, and you'll never be made to feel bad for doing. They then recommended a scan, which was largely, mostly okay. But between all the points of mild concern, and the fact that we were almost at 39 weeks, the recommendation came down: Is it time to induce?
To be fair it was a question, a recommendation, but nothing was forced. But the signs were there, the bag was packed, it was time. It meant that I've been robbed of my movie trope: There has been no dramatic breaking of waters, apparently instantly leading to contractions, followed by a hilarious drive to the hospital and a dramatic entry into the maternity ward. Instead it was all calm, we were already there, and now it's just waiting. Waiting to see if the different stages of induction take, and in what timeframe. It's now a question of either hours or days.
Sadly until my partner enters labour, I can't stay overnight. I have to go home and fret and text people. I have to not worry too much, and prepare the house and the dog and myself for what could be coming at any moment.
The phone's on loud, and I'm poised and ready. I doubt I'll sleep much tonight. Our baby is due to arrive any hour or day now. And I can't wait.

I didn't expect to be blogging again today but a mushroom trip turned into a bit more than that. Mrs OB and I took a trip up into Maridalen to look for chanterelle mushrooms and although I had bins and superzoom with me I wasn't expecting to see much in the way of birds although had a hope to get a photo of one of the Rough-legged Buzzards that have been here a few days and which I saw very distantly yesterday.
We found a few mushrooms but whilst Mrs OB was being very thorough in her searching I sat down by the edge of the lake and had a scan for raptors. The scan continued along the waters edge on the other side of the lake and suddenly a white shape appeared at about 1km range. It was a toss up between rubbish or an egret and switching to the superzoom (which functions well as a telescope in emergency situations) I could see the yellow bill and black legs of a Great White Egret. Not just a year tick and Maridalen tick for me but also the first record in Oslo!! What makes it even more special was that the ONLY other bird I saw on the lake was a single Goldeneye. The water level has been reduced significantly over the last week (for reasons unknown) and the muddy edges probably suited the Egret well although I have to be honest and say that my hopes were pinned on a Dunlin (which would be a long overdue Maridalen bird for me).
The views I got were very long range so the photos are no good although with such a large and distinctive bird do qualify in the record shot category. It did a flyby at one stage but in the poor light (it had started raining) the shots were not as good as I hoped when looking through the viewfinder.
I put the news out and the bird was quickly twitched by a number of Oslo's finest including Halvard who managed to see it from his house and then get down to where the bird was and get a rather nice shot ('m not jealous….).
|Great White Egret (egrethegre) at 1km range Maridalsvannet. A new bird for Oslo!

The League of Wales could be renamed "The Welsh Premiership" and cut down to 12 clubs playing summer football under radical proposals being suggested by secretary John Deakin.
Unveiling his blueprint for the League's future, Deakin said major restructuring could take place within the next few years.
His move comes as he attempts to increase the profile of the League even further.
It follows recent stories about a possible TV blackout of League of Wales action this coming season - an issue which has had the sports postbag bulging.
Deakin said: "Since the League's inception nine years ago, we've made significant progress.
"But as we're in our 10th season, I think we need to look at the situation and look at the structure of the League.
"Given the fact that we are a country of just 2.8 million people, is it sustainable to have 18 clubs in the top division?
"I personally would like to see a top division with perhaps 10 or 12 clubs, and bring the remaining clubs together to form a Division Two.
"This may be opposed by feeder Leagues such as the Welsh League.
"But having spoken with other nations of our own size and population, and asked how many teams compete in their top division, the answer always seems to be around 10 or 12.
"I think a Welsh Premiership of 12 clubs would be more competitive and develop stronger clubs."
On the issue of summer football, Deakin said: "Rugby and Nationwide League football is also a big factor in reduced crowds at League of Wales matches.
"But, inevitably, the only way around this would be to re-structure the season and introduce summer football.
"I've been vilified in some quarters for this, but I'm very much for the idea of summer football.
"The season would start immediately at the end of the winter months and climax in the autumn. FIFA have supported this way of thinking for some time as they have tried to unify the seasons worldwide.
"The pluses are there to be seen, especially in Europe where our teams would begin competing in Europe during the height of their season. They'll be sharper and fitter and it could bring more success."
"After nine years in this job, this is really top of my agenda, and I hope it can be in place before the end of my tenure."
Asked about the issue of BBC Wales pumping #22.5m into Welsh rugby, but axeing the Gol programme they produced for S4C, Deakin said: "Following the newspaper stories, I personally adopted the strategy of meeting the BBC to see what the situation was for myself.
"Having been briefed by them I want to ask for a meeting with S4C.
"Basically we know we have to continue to make the right noises if we are to be heard on this matter."

As the Cayman Islands Equestrian Center welcomed the community in celebration of it's 25th anniversary Saturday (29 September) national equestrian and instructor Jessica McTaggart says the sport has come a long way since the inception of the facility in 1993 by her mother, Mary Alberga.
"Mary's idea, or what she will tell you, is that she wanted the opportunity for her children to learn to ride, and that was her goal. She left Jamaica in the 70's and she always wanted her own riding stables and her own riding school."
What started was with just one small stable has now grown to 30 plus horses on seven acres of land. After 25 years of cultivating the sport in the Cayman Islands, McTaggart says their equestrians are ready to make their mark.
"I'd like people to see there's potential, that this is going somewhere for the country. My personal goal is to have a team at the 2022 Games. They look at you differently when you take a team than being an individual going."
In 2010, McTaggart became the first rider to represent Cayman at a major international competition riding in the Central American & Caribbean Games. She followed that by competing at the 2011 Pan American Games. She says it was a major turning point for the Equestrian Center and the sport in Cayman.
"That's when the federation started to see things differently. I think that's when the riders here started to see well this is the possibility and it kind of inspired some of those younger riders."
However, with just one major individual medal to the federation's credit, a bronze by Holly Serpell at the 2016 Youth Olympic Games, the Cayman Islands Equestrian Federation's trophy cabinet is still pretty bare. McTaggart says her passion to change that won't expire anytime soon.
"I think that the Olympics had a dressage rider in his 70's, so it is experience under your belt and you have to put that time in, but yes, I want to hear my anthem."
Currently, the Equestrian Center features a stable of young, competitive riders trotting closely behind. However, with the transient nature of Cayman ushering athletes to both school and with family, the future of Cayman's equestrians are still undetermined.
"Right now I've got a really good core group of kids. It remains to be seen what they do with it they are still pretty young. I don't know yet which one will embrace and maintain it and keep going with it."

Sony apparently forgot to file a request to maintain its claim on the Bloodborne brand.
Trademarks are important. So important, in fact, that company's will sometimes go to seemingly silly lengths to protect them. That being the case, you'd probably expect that a company the size of Sony would do the basic maintenance required to keep its trademarks safe and secure. In the least, you'd think they'd make sure the trademark was active the day before their next big game releases.
Not so, it would seem, with Bloodborne. While the game released exclusively today on the PS4, Sony no longer holds the trademark for its brand. While the company has offered no official reason for abandoning the trademark, the USPTO's website states that it was due to a failure on Sony's part to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request. In other words, Sony probably just forgot to do its paperwork.
It's worth noting that this isn't the first time this has happened this year. Just last month Sony accidentally abandoned the trademark for The Last Guardian. This, understandably, prompted many to assume that the long in-the-works game had been cancelled despite fairly recent claims from the company that it was still in full development. According to the NeoGAF thread that uncovered this latest lapse, these errors mostly stem from the departure of the company attorney who previously handled the trademark work for both The Last Guardian and Bloodborne. In the case of The Last Guardian, Sony quickly filed another request to reclaim the game's trademark. We feel safe in assuming it will do the same in this case as well.

CBD Oil : Can I add it to my cooking?
Everyone has their preferred ways of consuming CBD oil, and the possible uses for CBD oil are indeed varied. You can cook with any type of CBD Oil, though it's worth remembering that some types of CBD Oil can have a bold or unusual flavour.
First of all, some CBD Oils are flavoured. Great if you're not too keen on the natural taste and prefer to use the dropper directly under your tongue, however these flavourings are probably not ideal when creating a healthy CBD snack or meal - though if you do have an unusual recipe, please let us know!
That leaves us with unflavoured oil: 'Full spectrum' which contains other natural compounds from cannabis usually has a particular plant-like taste, and could be overpowering when added to food. Alternatively, an 'isolate' based CBD Oil is pretty similar in taste to olive oil, you might not even be able to taste the difference!
Be sure to check the product notes for each CBD Oil on our site, to be sure you get the one you're looking for - either full spectrum CBD, or CBD isolate.
Keep your recipes coming in!

This holiday season, the Berkeley College Online® team is participating in the Hearts of Hope initiative, painting clay hearts with inspirational messages to send to those who need support.
Most of the hearts, which are expected to number about 100 by the end of December, will be sent to the Robert and Audrey Luckow Pavilion, a cancer treatment and support center at The Valley Hospital in Paramus, NJ, just a few miles from the Berkeley College Online campus. Others are earmarked for special recipients in need – one is being sent as far as Australia.
"Hearts of Hope is nearly all volunteer-driven by those who wish to 'pay it forward,' " said Judy Pedersen, Founder and Director, Hearts of Hope Foundation, Inc. "Our volunteers are often people who have 'been there' and have experienced life-altering challenges of their own."
According to the organization, the first Hearts of Hope were created in response to September 11, 2001. Since then, the hearts have reached more than 75,000 people in hospitals and the military, as well as in communities following tragedies like those in Newtown, CT, and Orlando, FL.
"I was so excited to bring Hearts of Hope to Berkeley College Online," said Amy Castillo, Berkeley College Assistant Dean, Student Development and Campus Life, Online, who has participated in the initiative for many years. "Each person on our campus has a huge heart and a giving spirit – and everyone seems to know someone going through a time in their life where a message of hope is just what they might need. The hearts are so wonderful because they are a feel-good activity for the painter and for the recipient."
She added that the hand-painted designs can be beautiful, whimsical, funny, or all of the above.
"It's a wonderful thing to be able to provide a bit of support and encouragement to someone in need," said Sharon Goldstein, Campus Operating Officer, Berkeley College Online. "During the holidays, and throughout the year, an act of kindness is always welcome."
