Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV)
The purpose of the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Based program is to provide support and education to primary caregivers with children prenatal to age 3 in the comfort of their home. The home visit helps families with parenting skills, child development, developmental screenings, and connecting families with local resources to ensure their child's healthy development.
Migrant Education (Migrant Ed)
The purpose of the Migrant Education Program (MEP) is to ensure that migrant children fully benefit from the same free public education provided to other children. The MEP helps state and community agencies address the unique educational needs of migrant children to support their academic success.
Safe Sleep Resources Program
OCDC and Cribs for Kids® have partnered in Oregon to help prevent infant sleep-related deaths. Because all infants deserve a safe sleep environment, the program provides Graco® Pack 'n Play® portable cribs and accompanying sheets to families who would otherwise go without. OCDC also provides sleep sacks to be used instead of blankets during infant sleep time. Using sleep sacks instead of blankets prevents infant sleep-related deaths.
Due to funding limitations, we can no longer provide free cribs to families, but we can provide cribs with sheet sets for the very reduced price of $75. If you are an OCDC family and cannot afford this price, please talk to a Family Advocate at your local center to see if there's a way we can help you get a crib for your baby.
Preschool Promise (PSP)
Preschool Promise is a model for a publicly-funded, high-quality preschool system. Preschool Promise leverages high-quality, local and culturally-relevant early child care and education programs and makes them available to children living at 200% of the poverty level. By incorporating a mixed delivery approach which recognizes that high quality early learning experiences can take place in a wide variety of settings, Preschool Promise provides opportunities for families to access and choose the preschool setting which best meets their needs.
Safe Kids Oregon
Safe Kids Oregon is the Oregon coalition of Safe Kids Worldwide, a nonprofit organization working to help families and communities keep kids safe from injuries. Launched in 1995, Safe Kids Oregon focuses on one specific problem: More children ages 19 and under die from unintentional injuries (motor vehicle crashes, fires, drowning, and other causes) than from any other cause.

The tech world is volatile and unpredictable a good day, but unmovable centrality is a fact that few can deny. They say trends come and go, but today, we're looking into ambient technology trends that are here to stay - for the time being, at least. Some have been hot topics for the past couple of years, but it's only recently that most have come into their own — or can be deemed as relevant to consumers. Ambient intelligence refers to a technology that uses its electric environment to respond to the human presence; this once elusive technology is now used for life's small and big luxuries. Do you agree with our list? Leave your comments below and let us know if we've missed anything!
Everything that can be connected will be connected. Is that how it goes? Affectionately coined IoT, this trend has been around for the past couple of years, but only recently has such technology been made (more) affordable. Essentially, the premise of IoT is that all gadgets can be 'smart' and connected — from mundane kitchen appliances, to cars, to toothbrushes. But it also begs the question — do we need our light bulbs to have an IP address? Or is it simply an endeavor by companies to grasp the IoT goldmine? Yes, consumers are getting more and more sophisticated, but the generated value needs to be weighed, so we're not just chasing the arbitrary. That being said, incorporating speech recognition, language processing, vision, and even computer learning into the everyday will have transformative effects, drastically changing the way we socialise, work, and live.
Gaming can't be left off this list and the biggest thing to happen to the industry since Nintendo 64 is Oculus Rift. It's claimed that by 2020, the virtual reality market could be as large as US$2.8 billion (Source). But what Oculus have their sights on doesn't necessarily have to do with exploring imaginary worlds or shooting enemy aliens. Perhaps what is more lucrative is how it can be applied to everyday life. Flat viewing or college tours may be time-consuming activities of the past, as administrators are already providing students with reality goggles at college fairs. Virtual reality companies like Oculus will hope to extend their product beyond gaming, where prospective homeowners or tenants will be able to download a file and walk through their new neighbourhood virtually, with ease. Again, affordability is an issue, as the lifestyle functionality of Oculus depends heavily on whether consumers will be able to easily own one for use at home.
Following from the theme of what dystopian films are made of, artificial intelligence is also shifting from dream to reality. SoftBank Robotics' personal robot Pepper have already hit stores in Japan, with around 200 apps available for download to be released in the next couple of months. While Pepper is pioneering the consumer robotic industry in being the first mass consumer humanoid robot, its actual value — like its predecessors — remains TBD. Yes, Pepper can read emotions, but she's far from the independent-minded robots that plot the demise of humans. Many speculate that Pepper's initial popularity primarily stems from the collective nature of the product, but that it's actual functionality is overrated. Regardless of these considerations, SoftBank has undoubtedly made headway in terms of providing the platform, or hardware, for developers to elevate the sophistication of AI.
With ambient technology slowly changing the way we see the world, one question arises — which companies will remain at the forefront of these trends? Amazon, Google, and Windows have all rolled out their ambient products and services, but one has yet to be normalised or fully embraced as indispensable. Building a smarter application begins and ends with API — so are you the next big developer?
Join us next Saturday, as we host an API Workshop with Anchor Garager Twilio and General Assembly. This hands-on event will showcase the ins and outs of this powerful tool through Twilio's advanced product features. In addition to learning how to improve their products by taking advantage of open APIs, or build an entire startup around APIs, developers can also look forward to networking with other talented individuals! Join and receive US$20 of Twilio credit to build your application. This is a FREE event and tickets are going fast!
As the end of the year approaches, businesses across all industries are gearing up to celebrate their accomplishments and foster team spirit with memorable events - from Christmas Parties to team building activities and networking socials. If you're in charge of planning an end-of-year event for your organisation, whether you're in Web 3 or Wellness, Banking or Blockchain, Art or AI, we've got you covered
Join us for three incredible dog adoption events across September that will warm your heart and change lives forever!
Our "Paws for a Cause" month brings adorable shelter animals seeking their forever homes and compassionate individuals like you together at our pet friendly Garage Collective Cafe space.
To celebrate International Dog Day, we sat down with Damith Weerakoon - Director of Marketing & Operations at Garagers Milestone Beverages and proud Dad to Solo - our resident canine companion at Garage Collective SYP! Dive into our discussion below to explore the ins and outs of dog ownership in Hong Kong as we raise a bowl of water to our furry friends!

President Joe Biden praised Michigan Democrat Rep. Rashida Tlaib during his latest trip to the Midwestern state this week, as the member of "the squad" demands divestment from Israel during conflict with Hamas.
"I want to say to you that I admire your intellect, I admire your passion, and I admire your concern for so many other people," Biden said at a Ford plant in Dearborn. "You're a fighter, and God thank you for being a fighter."

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) May 18, 2021
On the same trip, Tlaib confronted Biden on the airport tarmac in Detroit and reportedly demanded the president condemn Israel and support the Palestinians. Biden's approach as Israel faces its worst attacks in years from the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas has remained largely muted, with the president only saying he hopes the conflict comes to a quick end while professing the Jewish state's right to self-defense.
On Wednesday, Biden told Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the White House expected "a significant de-escalation today" to reach a ceasefire.
The president's praise of Tlaib follows just days after the Michigan congresswoman reiterated calls to divest from Israel and condemned the nation as embracing apartheid, elements of which she said existed within the United States.
"What we are telling Palestinians fighting apartheid is the same thing being told to my black neighbors and Americans throughout that are fighting against police brutality here," she said on the House floor.
Tlaib, the first member of Congress of Palestinian descent, has long been one of Hamas's fiercest defenders, branding Netanyahu as "Apartheid-in-chief" and demanding the U.S. stop "enabling" Israel as Israelis face rocket attacks from Hamas.

Light-quarkonium spectra and orbital-angular-momentum decomposition in a Bethe–Salpeter-equation approach

We investigate the light-quarkonium spectrum using a covariant Dyson–Schwinger–Bethe–Salpeter-equation approach to QCD. We discuss splittings among as well as orbital angular momentum properties of various states in detail and analyze common features of mass splittings with regard to properties of the effective interaction. In particular, we predict the mass of exotic states, and identify orbital angular momentum content in the excitations of the meson. Comparing our covariant model results, the and its second excitation being predominantly S-wave, the first excitation being predominantly D-wave, to corresponding conflicting lattice-QCD studies, we investigate the pion-mass dependence of the orbital-angular-momentum assignment and find a crossing at a scale of GeV. If this crossing turns out to be a feature of the spectrum generated by lattice-QCD studies as well, it may reconcile the different results, since they have been obtained at different values of .

The last few days haven't been kind to Hillary Clinton. FBI Director James Comey resurrected Clinton's email woes with a maddeningly vague letter to Congress saying that the agency was taking "appropriate investigative steps" after learning that some additional emails may have turned up on another device. (Subsequent reporting said the device belonged to sexting fiend Anthony Weiner.) Comey's actions have all the earmarks of a CYA action, particularly since he ignored Department of Justice policy in publicly commenting on an investigation in such an early stage.
So Clinton enters the final stretch of the campaign with a cloud hanging over her. Whether the cloud is legitimate or not is something we won't know until well after Election Day. Considering how much ink has been spilled over her emails, it's hard to believe that there's a ticking bomb waiting to explode in the latest round. (The emails may be duplicates and may not even be from Clinton.)
But it's a good time to stop and consider why Hillary deserves our backing. It's not just because Trump is, well, Trump. It's because Clinton has demonstrated that combination of steel and empathy that we will need to further our progress in the coming years.
Here's a reminder of just a few of the reasons why we stand with HER.
1.Her record
There's no denying that Clinton is cautious, and that applied double to us. But once she made the leap, much like the president, she was all in, as her State Department record shows. That's particularly important in this election, because the next president has the opportunity to press LGBT issues as a human rights cause–which is the explicit link that Clinton made in her landmark UN speech. Now that she's embraced us unreservedly, she seems to be enjoying herself, as she did at New York City's pride parade last June.
2. Her debate performances
Imagine how hard it is to pretend that the giant orange boor next to you is actually a serious person. Clinton did a good job of make-believe up until the point in the first debate when Trump declared he had a "much better" temperament than Clinton. The shimmy and smile were the perfect response to how ridiculous Trump's comment (and the candidate himself) are. As an added bonus, Clinton slipped a shiv into Trump's fragile ego, setting him off on a tear about Miss Universe.
3. Her emphasis on keep our issues in the campaign
Gay issues haven't been much of a focus in the current election cycle, but insofar as they have been, it's because Clinton keeps bringing them up. The Democratic National Convention was rife with pro-gay comments. Clinton has kept that theme in her campaign speeches and in the debates. Just last week, at an appearance in North Carolina, she criticized the state's antigay law. In the third debate, she made preserving marriage equality a key goal of her Supreme Court choices.
4. Her personal outreach
Clinton has a nice record of sending messages to folks who are facing everyday cruelty for being trans or gay. There was the Facebook message to the trans woman assaulted on a New York City subway. There was the reassuring message to the unhappy teen struggling with being gay. Clinton is also good at celebrating people doing the hard work of activism: there was the personal letter to a lesbian couple congratulating them on their marraige and for their work on behalf of the It Gets Better project.
5. Her enemies
Look at the stalwarts lining up behind Donald Trump. Many of the leading (dim) lights of the religious right are among Trump's biggest boosters, even after his sexual assault tape came to light. It's the same crew that would gladly reverse twenty years of our progress. They hate Clinton for all the same reasons why we love her, starting with her willingness to stand up for us.
6. Her stamina
Clinton is the textbook case of an unstoppable survivor. A lesser person would have wilted under all the negative coverage and the vicious (often sexist) attacks she's endured. There's no question that resonates with a lot of folks in the community. Even Donald Trump had to acknowledge that "she doesn't give up and she doesn't quit." It may be the only time Trump has been right in this election.
7. Her friends Are Our Friends
Her fans

Dallas is way ahead of schedule. Mavericks president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson told me in October that the organization's expectations for the season were to make the playoffs. "It's a step-by-step process," Nelson said. But Luka Doncic's leap from Rookie of the Year to MVP candidate has caused the Mavs to skip steps. The championship window is already cracked open. Doncic is leading Dallas's offense to 116 points per 100 possessions, which is both the best in the NBA this season and the best in history, and the Mavericks are tied for the fifth-best record in the West. The Mavs are young, but it's already worth pondering how they can find the right pieces to break the championship window open.
The first big move Dallas made to complement Luka came almost one year ago, when it acquired Kristaps Porzingis from the Knicks; the Mavs then signed Porzingis to a maximum contract extension this past summer. Results have been mixed for the 7-foot-3 big man since he returned to the court this season after being sidelined for a year and a half recovering from a torn ACL. While Porzingis has been a stellar defensive anchor and a threatening floor spacer from way beyond the 3-point line, he hasn't shot the ball well and his post offense remains nonexistent. It's unwise to expect any player to immediately perform at an optimal level following a major injury, especially when they're also being installed in a brand-new system. But Porzingis has also been hurt, which is the most pertinent concern; he missed 10 games with a sore right knee and received a platelet-rich-plasma injection before returning on Tuesday. It's just another addition to the long list of injuries he's suffered since 2015:
- Right leg: sore knee, sore hip, sprained ankle, sore foot, inflammation to the bone and tendon of his knee
- Left leg: torn ACL, sore Achilles, sore knee, sprained ankle, sore groin, strained quad, and bruised thigh
- Other: lower-back tightness, right-shoulder issue, right-elbow problem
Porzingis either missed games due to injury or struggled while playing through pain during each of his three seasons with the Knicks, when his role was more demanding. The Knicks force-fed him post-ups and isolations like their offense was a tribute to Carmelo Anthony. Because of his heavy workload, fatigue built and Porzingis's fast starts fizzled in December or January. During the 2017-18 season, he expressed frustration with his nagging injuries and said he was tired just weeks before tearing his ACL. Phil Jackson didn't think Porzingis was built to carry the Knicks. Can Porzingis be relied on as the second star in Dallas?
It's not that the Mavericks should trade Porzingis. The 24-year-old is a key cog to their defense and brings offensive value with his deep shooting range. They might not be able to find an acceptable trade even if they wanted to, considering he's been hurt again and is not playing up to the five-year, $158 million extension he signed this past summer. That salary also complicates his place on the Mavs. Before the season, it was tempting to view Doncic and Porzingis as the new-age version of Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki, but what if KP is actually the Chris Bosh to Luka's LeBron? Or even the Brook Lopez to Luka's Giannis Antetokounmpo? Bosh was and Lopez is an important piece of the championship puzzle as a defensive presence and complementary offensive weapon. What complicates matters is that Porzingis has been far less durable and successful on the court than Bosh and makes more than twice as much money as Lopez.
The Mavericks could use their own Dwyane Wade or Khris Middleton to lighten Luka's shot-creation workload. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Seth Curry aren't the top-level guys for that job, but they show what it could look like with occasional explosive scoring outings, such as Hardaway's 29-point performance last week in a win over the Blazers or Curry's 30-point game in Mexico City against the Pistons. They are spark plugs who complement Doncic because of their ability to make plays off the dribble. Porzingis, though, makes plays off of others. A day will come when Luka receives the James Harden treatment and gets trapped in the half court, forcing someone else to make a play or bring the ball up. Porzingis hasn't shown he can be that player—he shoots 24.5 percent when he dribbles more than once in a possession, according to NBA Advanced Stats. Porzingis can shoot from deep and is a uniquely nimble scoring weapon for a player his size when running off screens, but he's a long way from looking like a player who can defeat mismatches in the post or generate consistent shots off the dribble. Could the Mavericks find that player before the deadline?
Danilo Gallinari stands out as an option. Multiple playoff teams have expressed interest in the Thunder forward, including the Mavericks and Sixers, according to league sources. Gallinari is a potent scorer everywhere on the court, in any play type—whether he's posting up, isolating, or in the pick-and-roll as a screener or ball handler. Though Gallinari, 31, has never been an All-Star, he's played like one this season in Oklahoma City and last season with the Clippers. Gallinari can become an unrestricted free agent this summer, but few teams will have cap space, and most of them will be younger teams unlikely to pursue players in their 30s. The team that retains him heading into the summer will have a significant advantage in keeping him since they'll have his Bird rights, and thus the ability to offer a more lucrative deal. Dallas may not have enough assets to acquire Gallinari if OKC decides to trade him, but he's a dynamic player whom the team should pursue.
The Mavericks are continuously cited by league sources as a potential landing spot for Grizzlies wing Andre Iguodala, who could help them this season as a secondary ball handler without compromising their future cap space. The Mavs have also made offers to the Timberwolves for Robert Covington, but those have been declined, according to multiple league sources. Covington won't make many plays off the dribble, but he'd be an upgrade over Dorian Finney-Smith as a 3-and-D wing. It remains to be seen whether Dallas has the ammo to complete a trade, but it's clear that the team is looking to bolster its postseason odds.
We already know what KP would likely prefer Dallas to pursue: a center. Porzingis has said in the past that he prefers to play power forward because at center he wastes energy battling against bigger players. So far this season, 88 percent of his minutes have come with a second big man on the floor, half of which featured Dwight Powell, who ruptured his Achilles tendon on Tuesday and will be out for the foreseeable future. Powell was one of the NBA's best lob threats but was an undersized defender and rebounder, which might explain why the Mavericks reportedly have interest in Pistons center Andre Drummond, according to Yahoo Sports' Vincent Goodwill.
The Hawks were close to a deal that would have sent Chandler Parsons and the Nets' 2020 first-round pick to Detroit for Drummond, but Atlanta was unwilling to add the pick because Drummond's contract extension demands are currently too high, according to multiple league sources. I'm not a Drummond fan because of his inconsistent defense, subpar scoring efficiency, and price tag. Drummond will make $27 million this season and $28.7 million next season (or possibly more if he opts out and tests free agency), but quality centers can be found for much less. Just look at the Lakers with JaVale McGee and Dwight Howard, the Celtics with Daniel Theis and Enes Kanter, or even the Mavericks themselves with Powell and Maxi Kleber. Yet I understand the appeal. Drummond would solve Dallas's rebounding issues, and he could add value as a screener, roller, and playmaking hub from the post. He'd also assure that Porzingis can keep flying around the perimeter like a wing rather than bang down low on rolls, dives, and post-ups. If Porzingis were to miss time, Kleber could take on more responsibility and they'd at least retain size inside with Drummond. Though Drummond has glaring flaws, it does make some sense to upgrade from Powell and add a big man to support Porzingis.
But skipping steps doesn't mean rushing into rash decisions. Dallas could pursue a wider range of players in the summer. Drummond and Gallinari can become free agents, and Clippers center Montrezl Harrell, another free-agent-to-be, also makes sense as a target. Goran Dragic or Fred VanVleet would be nice fits in the backcourt, while Joe Harris or Davis Bertans would look great on the wing. Dallas would have to trade Hardaway to create cap space, use their midlevel exception, or work out a sign-and-trade to add an impact free agent this summer. If the Mavs wait until 2021, they could have enough cap space to pursue a max free agent, depending on what the salary cap is. Plan A remains Giannis and Plan B could be Rudy Gobert. Even if Giannis and Gobert go elsewhere, the 2021 class still could include Gordon Hayward and Jrue Holiday.
The Mavericks don't need to be patient, but they should be calculated. The clock is ticking steadily toward Doncic becoming eligible for a supermax in the summer of 2022, at which point Dallas's financial flexibility will evaporate. We're many years away from Doncic's first unrestricted free agency and the kind of hype that surrounded LeBron James before he joined the Heat or Giannis as he approaches his choice in 2021. That conversation will come, just as it has for Giannis, unless the Mavs hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy in June. The Mavericks found a transcendent superstar in Doncic, but it won't be easy to complete the roster and win a title. The Mavericks need to assemble a team that can win with Doncic and Porzingis but can also survive during Porzingis's inevitable absences.

The Kingdom. I saw the movie today. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. The only movies I've seen that also fall into this class of movie would be Syriana and Babel. The Kingdom takes it in a new direction, however. So one leaves the movie feeling of greater understanding of what is actually going on beyond the politics in the middle east.
If you are looking for an American propaganda movie this isn't it. This is more a thoughtful movie about what makes both sides tick in this long running terrorist war. This movie tries hard not to propagandize either side. it just shows the bombs the bullets and the blood in a way that some people might not be able to handle. However, even if that is difficult for you don't forget to rent the DVD when it comes out in that form so you can see things more the way the really are and not just propagandized by either side.
What was clear for me in watching this was that each side was mostly just protecting their own families and their own customs and beliefs. However, in this movie one got a feeling more of the problem being western didactic materialism versus Extremist fundamentalist Islam. Also, for those of you who have studied history this war has actually been going on since the Crusades and Richard the Lionheart during the times of Robin Hood or even before that. So we all should get used to all this because if Global Warming doesn't kill all life on earth I expect to see this Terrorist or Crusader War still going on in one form or another 1000 years from now because in a certain way nothing has changed from the times of Richard the Lionhearted
of the 1100's in England. The only relief I could see coming is if people both Christian and Islamic become more secular in their thinking. But even then there would be wars over resources between corporations and between nations if nations continue to exist in a real way.
I personally think the biggest threat to the secular Christian world is not fundamentalist Islam but Global Warming. In other words the biggest single threat to most Islamic nations is not the Christians or the Christian world but drought, Winds, floods, famine and pestilence in the next few hundred years. I hope all cultures on earth wake up to this fact before all the biggest nations go bankrupt fighting issues that might be redundant if we're all dead by Global Warming.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future

Kids' Club is again providing scholarships to the Village of Tarrytown's Day Camp. This program provides engaging summer fun to over 80 campers entering grades 1-6. Activities take place at Washington Irving School, but also include pool and playground visits, and trips to Splashdown Water Park, Rye Playland, the Norwalk Aquarium and more.
For our visit, we observed a number of activities around the spacious W.I. campus. We visited the Art Room, for example, where 6th graders made paper and balsa wood airplanes, as well as weaving lanyards. Next door held the Game Room, where 4th and 5th grade campers played tabletop games, and, as a special treat, one teacher who is also a professional cosmetologist provided beauty school practice heads for hair and makeup applications. And in another classroom, 1st and 2nd graders were treated to a visiting Animal Show. Rounding out our tour was a visit to the gymnasium, where ball games, hula-hoops and hockey sticks were put to good use by the 3rd graders. Our only disappointment was missing the Magic Show, which we heard was amazing! All in all, it was great to see so many children enjoying a day of learning, creativity and fun.

Single-mode versus multimode interferometry: A performance study*
Laboratoire d'Astrophysique, Observatoire de Grenoble, 38041 Grenoble Cedex, France
Corresponding author: E. Tatulli, email@example.com
Accepted: 6 December 2003
We compare performances of ground-based single-mode and multimode (speckle) interferometers in the presence of partial Adaptive Optics correction of atmospheric turbulence. It is first shown that for compact sources (i.e. sources smaller than the Airy disk of a single telescope) not entirely resolved by the interferometer, the remarkable property of spatial filtering of single-mode waveguides coupled with AO correction significantly reduces the speckle noise which arises from residual wavefront corrugations. Focusing on those sources, and in the light of the AMBER experiment (the near infrared instrument of the VLTI), we show that single-mode interferometry produces a better Signal-to-Noise Ratio on the visibility than speckle interferometry. This is true for bright sources (), and in any case as soon as Strehl ratio of 0.2 is achieved. Finally, the fiber estimator is much more robust – by two orders of magnitude – than the speckle estimator with respect to Strehl ratio variations during the calibration procedure. The present analysis theoretically explains why interferometry with fibers can produce visibility measurements with a very high precision, or less.
Key words: techniques: interferometric / techniques: adaptive optics / methods: analytical

Reference GKTSZ4H-24R
Product features KTSZ4H-24 TEMPERATURE SWITCH
These KTSZ4H switches with display are designed to be used as two-state regulators (ON / OFF type control). They compare the temperature set point with the actual temperature value and enable the galvanically isolated (electrically isolated) contacts of a connected relay to be switched when the set temperature is reached. The supply voltage for the switches is 10 - 33 V DC / 9 - 24 V AC (depending on type). two temperature sensing elements can be connected to the switches. The display shows the current value of the measuring temperature during the measuring process. The setting of the individual parameters is carried out by two control knobs.
The switch can be used in 5 different modes:
Mode no. 1: The switch works as a single controller which switches the first relay according to the set temperature interval and the second relay is switched to the exceeding set emergency temperature (only one sensing element is used)
Mode no. 2: The switch works as a dual controller which switches each relay according to the set temperature interval (only one sensing element is used)
Mode no. 3: The switch works as a dual controller, which switches each relay separately according to the temperature interval (two sensing elements are used, each separately for each relay)
Mode no. 4: The switch works as a differential regulator which switches based on the temperature difference of two sensing elements (analogous to mode # 1)
Mode no. 5: The switch works as a differential regulator which switches based on the temperature difference of two sensing elements (analogous to mode # 2)
The switch-off delay of relay 1 within the limits 0–300 s can be set in each mode.
The switches are intended to be mounted on the DIn strip. The temperature range of switching applications depends on the type of sensing element and the type of temperature sensor (for example, for the sensor in the TG8 housing, the range is -50 ° C to 200 ° C). The maximum operating temperature range of the switch is -50 ° C to 400 ° C.
Thermostats are intended to operate in a chemically non-aggressive environment.
Type tests are carried out by a notified body according to standard EN 50155, as amended, Railway applications - Electronic equipment used on rolling stock, Art. 12.2.9, 12.2.11

The 290-site National Food stuff Technique proposes 4 major aims: escaping the junk meals cycle to guard the NHS reducing eating plan-associated inequality making the finest use of Britain's land and protecting the atmosphere and producing a long-phrase shift in British isles food tradition. Listed here are some of the critical recommendations.
Sugar and salt tax
When probably to entice opposition, the proposal to legislate to increase £3.4bn a yr from a sugar and salt tax to fund an expansion of cost-free college meals from 2024 would fork out very long-time period dividends for the nation's wellness, the meals strategy insists.
Its very own modelling indicates the tax would reduce salt and sugar usage and lower regular energy eaten per individual by up to 38 kcal a day. This would halt weight obtain at a population degree and cut the risk of stroke and coronary heart ailment.
The strategy says it is important that the government incentivises manufacturers to make foodstuff much healthier. Food company bosses say privately it would be tough to make the essential improvements to reformulate goods unless of course the federal government intervenes to make a level taking part in discipline.
If producers do not reduce salt and sugar amounts, this could push up price ranges, putting added financial pressures on homes previously struggling to put food items on the desk, and in executing so pressure them to slice again on healthful but much more expensive foodstuff.
To counter this, the system proposes a £1.1bn a year programme to get fresh foodstuff and food stuff skills to low-profits households with kids, including an expanded Healthful Commence voucher scheme, which gives fruit and vegetable vouchers to mother and father with younger young children and pregnant mothers.
Breaking the junk meals cycle
The modern day world's "malfunctioning appetites" have produced a massive current market for harmful food, the system suggests, generating a creeping "plague of nutritional sick health" costing the NHS billions of lbs . and foremost to tens of hundreds of avoidable deaths.
"We have a predilection for calorie-dense foods, which indicates foods organizations spend more time and funds developing these foodstuff, which tends to make us consume more of them and expands the sector, which qualified prospects to more expenditure, which tends to make us take in additional," suggests the strategy.
This results in a vicious circle, it states. "Company bosses do not dare to quit investing in these foodstuff in case they get rid of their competitive edge. Both equally shoppers and foodstuff corporations are stuck in a reinforcing comments loop – a junk food stuff cycle."
On current developments, by 2035 obesity on your own will price the NHS £15bn a year – one and a half instances what it spends treating most cancers right now. A lot more than 50 percent of in excess of-45s are residing with diet program-connected wellness disorders, while very poor diet program contributes to an believed 64,000 fatalities each and every year. It calls for federal government intervention in the type of a Great Food items Act.
Growing free of charge faculty meals
Soon after the very first three yrs of principal university, for the duration of which absolutely free faculty meals are universally available, they are confined to small children from households with an revenue of a lot less than £7,400 in advance of added benefits.
"In other text, you have to be particularly inadequate to qualify. This means there are some youngsters from very low-profits households likely hungry," the tactic suggests. "Children with empty stomachs battle at university: they come across it really hard to concentrate, their conduct deteriorates and they are far more possible to be disruptive in course."
It proposes growing the threshold to £20,000 – an expansion of no cost school meal eligibility similar to that proposed by the footballer and campaigner Marcus Rashford past yr.
This would make additional 1.1 million young children suitable at a value just about £800m a calendar year, funded from the proposed sugar and salt tax. This would ensure 80% of the kids most at chance would get cost-free faculty meals, helping to lower diet regime-related inequality, the technique suggests.
Changing foods and cooking society
"Eating well is a great deal less complicated if you know how to cook dinner from scratch," states the technique. Nonetheless, the introduction of ease foodstuff in the second 50 percent of the very last century triggered a drop in culinary competencies throughout just about every social class. "One technology after an additional grows up devoid of viewing or hoping cookery at house," it claims.
Because 2014 universities have been lawfully essential to educate cookery and nutrition to all children up to the age of 14. But this is not happening in quite a few educational institutions, the method says. Food stuff tech is a dealt with as a 2nd-class matter, "a exciting but frivolous distraction from the authentic organization of learning".
The report calls for a reboot of food items training, beginning with checking out unique food items in early a long time settings and continuing to sixth kind. The food items A-degree, axed in 2016, must be reintroduced. "It's time to choose food instruction severely," it urges.
Shielding global trade standards
Demanding significant environmental expectations from British farmers but allowing much less expensive and reduce-regular imports in new trade specials would not only severely hurt farm firms, the report claims, but also merely move the destruction of character abroad.
Boris Johnson's govt has pledged not to compromise benchmarks as it chases new post-Brexit trade discounts, but it has but to condition which requirements it signifies to safeguard, the report points out, even however new promotions have currently been struck.
"The governing administration ought to draw up a record of main bare minimum expectations which it will defend in any foreseeable future trade offers and set out which mechanisms it intends to use to safeguard them," the report suggests. "Otherwise there is a serious chance that cheap imported food items will undermine our own efforts to safeguard the surroundings and animal welfare, though undercutting – and perhaps bankrupting – our individual farming sector."
Investing in green farming and new tech
Considering the fact that Brexit, the federal government has been overhauling the £3bn-a-12 months farm subsidies, shifting away from payments primarily based on the area farmed in the direction of giving public merchandise these as organic habitats, carbon storage, greater soils and flood protection. Trials are below way but the report claims this kind of payments are only assured to 2024, leaving some farmers facing a monetary cliff-edge. The finances ought to be certain right up until at least 2029 to assistance farmers undertake far more sustainable land use, the report claims.
It also calls for a £1bn investment decision in innovation to make a much better food items procedure, like robots and AI to cut fertiliser and pesticide use, new genetic breeding techniques, and feed additives to reduce methane from cattle and sheep.
It claims £50m really should go to business owners and scientists performing on choice protein to livestock, which would help the United kingdom grab section of the speedy-increasing markets for plant-based mostly and lab-developed meats.

Roof Exhaust Traps
Trusted by roofing professionals across Canada, the VMAX CT is the best quality roof exhaust on the market. Designed to discharge kitchen range hoods, bathroom fan and dryers, the built-in damper opens to release the exhaust air and closes once released, creating a hermetic barrier, thus reducing your energy bills. The built-in deflector will prevent any back drafts and clapping of the damper while also deflecting the flow towards the sides of the unit, reducing the risks of melting snow creating ice dams. Its unique design allows the exhaust air to be directed upwards for an optimal diffusion into the environment. This differs greatly from the common roof exhausts which discharge directly onto the roofs surface leading to odors being infused with the roof's surface and in time may attract rodents. The VMAX CT unique height design also reduces risks of infiltration of any kind.

Blue Dream Marijuana Seeds Characteristics
Blue Dream is a great smoke for a variety of causes. Users profit from its advantages in the tastiest way possible thanks to its delicious taste. These feminized plants allow growers to get a piece of the action with little effort. The prize is a massive stash that begs to be exchanged, and it's satisfying and straightforward to expand. Blue Dream is a popular West Coast strain whose success has spread worldwide. It was initially bred for medicinal purposes in California and is said to help with depression and physical discomfort.
Despite its medicinal roots, it has gained popularity among recreational consumers. This variation is widely available in Amsterdam cafes and dispensaries. It's a combination of the Indica heavyweight Blueberry and Haze, one of the finest Sativa strains. Haze, another Cali boy, adds to the mix a long-lasting, imaginative, high-energy emotional buzz. Meanwhile, the Blueberry genes of the strain serve as a calming force. Its calming effects modulate the sprightliness of the prior.
This Sativa-leaning offspring will produce Indica-heavy phenotypes thanks to two strong parents. Growers who acquire this strain can discover a few varieties with Indica characteristics. The bulk of the forms, however, are Sativa-dominant. This plant is a cultivator's fantasy because it is easy to grow and yields a lot. Although it takes some TLC, it provides farmers with a plentiful crop of high-quality weed.
Blue Dream comes from a long line of illustrious ancestors. The plant emits the distinct scents of both of its parents as it blooms. This cannabis is earthy like Haze while still catching the fruitiness of blueberry. It's a sensory overload. Tokers drool with delight even when it is completely mature. When lit, the smoke has a sweet vanilla scent to it. It offers a slew of shocks in the mouth. Blueberry and other berries have a fruity flavor, which is intertwined with a calming herbal essence. It's similar to eating a plate of fresh fruits and sipping vanilla-infused hot tea.
Blue Dream Marijuana Seeds Effects
Blue Dream is a fun smoke that won't confuse novice consumers. It is powerful enough to motivate veterans at the same time. It will have a rewarding high that is intense but not excessive if used in moderation. It's a potent mood enhancer that uplifts the spirit with a euphoric cerebral buzz. It emerges the mind and keeps it going with an aggressive drive, making it ideal for morning use. It aids in removing worries and problems from the mind, allowing the creative juices to keep flowing.
Smokers will stay fueled for hours on end without being jittery or irritated. Blue Dream has a mellow, calming influence, so you can stay busy while visiting relaxed. Blue Dream is a fantastic daytime strain that will help smokers fulfill their weekly targets. They can be on the move for hours on end, with their brains working like a well-oiled engine, thanks to its energizing influence. This strain is ideal for those who wish to put in more effort to get more. It isn't for wishful thinking who lounge around hoping for good fortune.
Blue Dream has a couple of adverse side effects. Users can avoid cottonmouth and red eyes. These are two typical negative effects of cannabis use, and almost any strain will induce these two side effects. To keep away from them, cigarettes in moderation and drink lots of water. Dry eyes can also be relieved by using an over-the-counter eye lubricant. Furthermore, users with a poor THC threshold should avoid Blue Dream. It has a high THC material, which can make you dizzy. It might also escalate to anxiety or fear in the worst-case situation.
The potency provides immediate relief from symptoms, making this a perfect way to ease through your day. Assist your brain in tuning out worry and letting go of frustration so you can focus on your mission with a focused and relaxed mind. This excellent, well-balanced strain makes you feel both involved and comfortable, making it ideal for daytime use. Although this strain is known for its mood-lifting properties, it also aids in the relief of physical discomfort. Both inflammatory and arthritic pain, as well as migraine pain, may be eased.
What Growers Need To Know About Blue Dream Marijuana Seeds
Blue Dream is taller than many Sativa giants but not as tall as typical Indica plants. It's just about 5 feet long, so it doesn't take up a lot of space. However, it is susceptible to red spider mite attacks, so constant surveillance is needed. Blue Dream is a stunning specimen of huge colas wrapped in trichome-rich buds. It has longer blazing amber pistils than other cannabis varieties. Its foliage turns a rich plum color when subjected to cold temperatures.
Blue Dream will bloom for up to ten weeks when grown indoors. Along with plenty of TLC, using soil or hydroponics combined with Sea of Green can maximize yield. The easiest way to cultivate marijuana is to yield a crop of up to 1.9 ounces per square foot. It's a little more challenging to develop Blue Dream outside, but it's doable. Gardeners must be able to pay the plant even more care when growing it outdoors. This strain needs a lot of safety from adverse weather and, as previously described, mites.
This enchantress, like most marijuana strains, likes the Mediterranean and subtropical climates. Up to 24.7 ounces of fresh buds per plant are possible in these classic pot havens. If the circumstances are ideal, good results can also be obtained in northern regions. Find a place that gets a lot of sun and isn't too windy. Also, by late September or early October, you should be able to harvest.

…Esparza and Mason match, if not exceed, Rodriguez's flamboyance in defending their respective characters' fiefdoms. Moritz von Stuelpnagel directs, and if there has been a more fired-up ensemble on the New York stage this year, I haven't seen it. Rebeck wrote three big roles, and this trio puffs them up into something even bigger.
[Mason] is another actor with the gift of the spoken word, and every emotion he told of was grueling, wrought with either the deepest feelings of pain, regret and on occasion, happiness when speaking of his childhood. He gives a riveting performance, and watching both he and Fowler undoubtedly makes for one of the best…
The scene toward the end of the second act with Tom, played by David Mason, gave the evening an unexpected depth. Mason, in particular, inhabited a character who doesn't easily communicate emotions. Hilarity ensued with every sentence from Tom that would hang and hang there.
David Mason, as Terje, never lets the character's intellectual passion for peace completely outshine the man's egotism. Terje wants to be the center of attention yet must accept a role deep in the background of history, so Mason dips his head to cede the limelight but lets us see Terje's yearning to take credit. Mason is captivating.

Daily Post Staff Writer
Christine Blasey Ford has broken her silence to accept an award from the YWCA of Silicon Valley at a luncheon in Santa Clara.
Ford, a Palo Alto resident, had kept a low profile after she accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings last year.
Ford said Wednesday (Oct. 30) that she had been inspired to come forward because of Anita Hill, who accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment during his confirmation hearings in 1991.
"There are many, many people who aren't as lucky as I am," she said. "When my family was forced out of our home last year, we had resources and we had friends that made sure we had places to go and stay. So many women do not."
In her speech, Ford thanked YWCA for helping local victims of assault, including Chanel Miller, the victim of former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner, whose three-month jail sentence triggered outage. Ford said she has read Miller's memoir, "Know My Name."
Ford thanked her friends and her son, who came with her to the luncheon, and encouraged members of the audience to "stand strong" and "be yourself."
The luncheon was held at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Guests were asked to make a $250 donation to YWCA.

For the description of the way of school's representation in the global information space, the author introduces a new concept of «virtual projection of the way of school». It is shown that high school students are actively involved in communication through various forms of forms of intercourse on the Internet. At the same time the information and communication among schools in the eyes of the pupils did not meet the requirements of a full way of reflection of the school way.

Wildflower Spring
Yesterday afternoon brought just the latest in a series of powerful thunderstorms that have blown through our area in recent weeks. Even with the power flickering on and off and the weather radio siren blaring on the other side of the house, it was impossible to ignore the view-blurring intensity of the rain coming down….
The Unkept Garden
This year, I've been hemming and hawing about my spring garden, mostly lamenting that I didn't start seeds weeks and weeks ago. "Is it worth starting now?," I've been asking myself. "Maybe I'll just give spring gardening a miss this year." My cousin messaged me on Facebook on the 16th, saying he'd put out tomato plants that…
My Favorite Mystery Tree – Harbinger Of Spring
My junior year in college, I somehow wangled my way into doing a semester abroad. It wasn't easy. I had to convince the authorities at the University of Texas that — since they had a relationship with the study abroad program — it was 100% appropriate and customary that I could apply my scholarship funds…

Is there a possible replacement of the FortiClient VPN with a Fortinet Router?
Now we are connecting to a VPN server and every computer in the office is connecting using FortiClient VPN with user and password every time.
Is it possible to put a Fortinet Router FG-30 or 40, and this one connects to the server and we can stop using the software client?
Thank you!
Go to Solution.

Hey didacmlna,
- if you have scenarios where users need to connect from different locations (home, when travelling, etc), FortiClient is probably a better choice as that allows connection from anywhere, and users would not have to take a FortiGate with them.
- if your scenario is that your users are in Office A (all of them), and need a VPN to connect to Office B and access resources, then yes, you could use a FortiGate instead and set up a site-to-site IPSec VPN tunnel for example; the users in Office A would be routed via the tunnel to Office B and not need to set up a VPN.

Hi Team,
You will have many users connectin from different different locations. You need to have many fortigates in all machine networks.
Thats the main reason to make things simple, we should use forti client, we just need to install software in machine.
SO that tunnel will be established
Created on
Hi Debbie,
Yes the scenario is as follows:
We have a Headquarters office centralized in Barcelona, and there's 550 franchises around Spain connecting to the VPN server using FortiClient VPN in every computer.
Problems of that? You need a user and password for every computer, you can't have the same user on multiple computers so we have problems with that. You need to install on every computer, it takes some time to connect...
So we are searching a way to connect the whole Office to that VPN server instead of computer by computer...
So the scenario is:
HQ VPN server where every franchise connects using a username and password. And then our office, with 10+ computers connecting to that server.
So we would like to connect in our network, a VPN gateway that connects directly to the server so we can stop using the annoying software.
So do you think a FORTINET ROUTER FG30 or something like that would do the work?
Created on
Hey didacmIna,
yes, something like a FortiGate/FortiWifi 40F or 60F might be suitable to handle the traffic for ten people.
I would suggest that you have a peek at the datasheet (https://www.fortinet.com/content/dam/fortinet/assets/data-sheets/Fortinet_Product_Matrix.pdf) to get an idea of what models might be of interest, and then reach out to a partner or reseller for a quote :).
We also have a guide to suggest products that might suit you:https://www.fortinet.com/solutions/small-business/product-selector
In principle, any FortiGate would be able to establish and maintain the VPN tunnel (provided the VPN server can do the same).
Config wise, you would be looking at something like this:
Created on
Hi Debbie, do you think a Fortigate 40/50/60 E or D would do the work too?
And other question, I saw the config manual, yes that's what we have. But HQ is not going to give us a pre-shared key. We have username and password. Is there any way to connect to HQ using User and Password as we are using now with the FortiClient VPN software?

County Veterans Service Officer Wants the Word Out
January 16, 2021
Roseau County Veterans Service Officer Martin Howes was just delighted recently when the VA added three more diseases that claims can be filed for at his office at the Roseau County Courthouse.
"Many veterans and widows have been through my office filing claims for exposure to dioxins while serving in Vietnam," he said.
He noted that until recently, Vietnam veterans had been turned down for having the wrong cancer.
"For example, bladder cancer wasn't covered and prostate cancer is. But now they can be service-connected for bladder cancer since it has been added to the presumptive list," he...

Mid-air tragedy for Bachchan's
Losing baggage while on his travels now seems to have become frequent for screen idol Amitabh Bachchan as he reported another incident of his baggage not making it with him to the Port of Spain Airport in Trinidad from Toronto.
According to a post on his blog, the total number of times he has lost his baggage has reached 19. Bachchan is on a concert tour along with his family members. "And brilliant news! Half my bags are gone again. And no, it's not British Airways this time but Air Canada," wrote Bachchan on his blog. "The airlines must love my bags," he added.
Also, Bachchan mocks at an Air Canada official named Vishnu who saw the entire crew to the airplane. According to Big B, this Air Canada official took their autographs and personally assured him that his baggage would definitely reach the Port of Spain. "You, with large body and smile. You, with great sense of hospitality and care. You, who saw us safely from the crowds at the airport into private waiting area... You, who came into the aircraft after we were seated with the reassuring words... "Sir, this time you will get all your bags..." and warmly shook my hand till it almost got dislocated. You,Vishnu (wish you knew! not my invention, but a quip from Ritesh) must know that the bags are GONE," wrote Bachchan.

This summer, identify the cinematic adventure that's right for you and your group, and get there with the All-New Land Rover Discovery.
Watching a great film transports you to another place and time, but true film buffs should make a point to actually visit the filming locations of some of their favorite movies. Of course, Hollywood itself is the best destination for indulging your movie mania, but there are so many more fantastic movie-themed locations all around the country, too. Here are some trip ideas that will make you and your travel group want to yell, "action!"
As the author of The Ultimate Hollywood Tour Book, William Gordon is an expert on scoping out Hollywood's best sites for movie fans. Here are his favorite tips for designing a tour to suit your interests:
1. Websites like Seeing Stars, Discover Los Angeles, and I Am Not Stalker are decent sources for finding suggested sites. Just beware they could be spread out all over the vast city of Los Angeles. "But the problem with them is they are not arranged geographically," explains Gordon, "so a tourist or visitor would have to spend hours trying to map out all the locations." Of course Gordon's own book is a great resource, too.
2. Plan out your trip and the sites you want to see far in advance. "Tourists who try to 'wing it' will miss out on interesting things to see," says Gordon. "Also, the city is quite spread out and it is best to pick your priorities in advance…It is impossible to see everything if you are only here for a week."
3. Always keep in mind that celebrities' homes are private residences. "You can drive by them, admire them, or be what we call a 'lookie-loo,' but you should never, ever disturb the privacy of the individuals who live in them," explains Gordon. "If you approach a celebrity at his or her home, he or she may construe the approach as a hostile act and respond accordingly."
You don't necessarily have to go to California to see some the real, live filming locations of some of your favorite movies. In New York City, there's the Firehouse in Ghostbusters and Washington Square Park from When Harry Met Sally. And that famous scene in Rocky means the film is forever connected to the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. There are plenty of under-the-radar film locations sprinkled all across the country. Here are six sites that are off the beaten path:
The Hunger Games: Dupont State Forest, North Carolina
Fans of the Jennifer Lawrence film series will recognize this verdant forest as the location of the films' namesake games. Based on the trilogy of novels by Suzanne Collins, it was here that teenagers living in a dystopian society were selected and forced to fight to the death.
The Breakfast Club & Ferris Bueller's Day Off: Maine North High School, Illinois
Both movies are some of filmmaker John Hughes's most beloved works. This former school is the site of the library from The Breakfast Club, as well as some of the interior high school shots from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Today, the building serves as the district headquarters for the Illinois State Police and also has a youth center.
The Fugitive: Cheoah Dam, North Carolina
It's probably the most famous scene from 1993's highest-grossing film: during the tunnel chase scene where Deputy Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) traps Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford), leaving him no choice but to take a flying leap off the edge of this 225-foot high dam.
Forrest Gump: Chippewa Square, Georgia
"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." It's the most famous line from Forrest Gump, and Tom Hanks uttered those words during the iconic bus stop scene, filmed on a bench in Savannah's historic Chippewa Square.
The Shining: Timberline Lodge, Oregon
That famous exterior shot of Stanley Kubrick's terrifying film wasn't actually filmed in Colorado. The Timberline Lodge is actually located on the south side of Mount Hood in Clackamas County, Oregon, which stood in for the exterior of the haunted Overlook Hotel.
You and your travel group's quest for the magic of Hollywood doesn't need to be limited to film locations. Historic theaters tucked away around the country can unlock the Golden Age of cinema. These historic cinemas are still going strong, and some of them even have throwback ticket prices to match.
Old County Theater: Doylestown, Pennsylvania
Built in 1938, this art deco theater is now operated by a local non-profit. It shows independent, art, and foreign films, all in a gorgeous setting from the heyday of Old Hollywood.
State Theatre: Traverse City, Michigan
This Michigan institution was built in 1949 following a fire at the original Lyric Theatre. It closed and fell into disrepair during the 1990's, but in 2007 it reopened thanks to support from the community, as well as film director and Michigan native Michael Moore.
Hippodrome Arts Centre: Julesburg, Colorado
This historic theater dating back to 1919 was reborn in 1996 when the town's residents organized to buy it and restore it as a multi-cultural center, in addition to its former job as a cinema. Today it regularly hosts exhibits of local artists.
Historic Palace Theatre: Lockport, New York
The non-profit community organization that runs this 1925 theater calls it a Western New York landmark, preserved to maintain the historic and architectural integrity of the region. Located right downtown, it shows movies and also operates a theatre school for children.
Jane Pickens Theater: Newport, Rhode Island
The building that houses the theater in this historic New England town dates back to 1834. Relax in the lobby decorated with art deco chandeliers, wrought iron railings, and counters and bar stools before taking your seat in its classic balcony.

If you enjoy a game of basketball, then you will enjoy betting on it with our basketball predictions. In this article, you will find several basketball betting tips and select the best ones so you can make the right betting predictions.

What Is the Best Way to Bet on Basketball?
To enjoy the most of your basketball betting, you will need to have a plan. And you need tried and tested basketball betting tips. These tips transform your betting from a series of random guesses to a series of well-informed decisions. And the good thing is that you can use these tips on most markets, including the NBA predictions market.
Even though you can find some basketball betting tips on some other websites, we have taken care to include the essential tips that a beginner and advanced player can use to bet on basketball games.
Keep up with the data
Basketball predictions must be based on data. Basketball is a team sport in which the whole is greater than the parts. As a consequence, various factors will influence the outcome of games. For example, the results of games can be affected by player injuries, formation changes, or a general dip in form. For example, an injury to a key player will almost certainly tip the game in the opposing team's favour. You can find this data on sports blogs, pre-game press conferences, or the team's website.
Have a record of your betting
If you wish to enhance your wins, you'll need to keep a betting log. You can discover where you constantly have trouble by looking at the results of your former bets. Conversely, you'll also be able to see where you've had tremendous success. The journal will show you which actions you should increase and which ones you should minimise or cease.
Check Head to Head Data
Head-to-head data is a sure way to get a feeling for the likely winner of a basketball game. Team A may be the stronger team, but if team B has always beaten them on their home court, you might want to tip team B to win when the two teams play at the home court of team B. Then, of course, you can hedge your bets and play team B at a handicap. Head to head data is available at any bookmaker, and you can view it and make your analysis before you bet on any game.
Learn to spot the upset
A basketball team will play several games in a season, and if they are good, they will win about 65-70% of the games they play. The other 30-35% is the upset, where the weaker team beats the top team. The most joy in prediction is when you go against the favoured team, and your predictions come to pass. You can get your timing right by checking head-to-head data, looking at team motivation, the particular form of key players, and the overall team form.
You will also want to consider the type of competition the teams are playing in, as this plays a massive role in giving the extra determination for the underdog to gain victory.
Know the basketball predictions market
There is a lot of luck involved if you will make correct predictions. But while you can't manage the luck part of betting, you can arm yourself with enough knowledge on the betting markets available. There are several basketball betting markets. Some of them are:
In the two-way market, which is the most popular betting market in basketball, by the way, all you have to do is to predict the game winner. Unlike other sports, there is no option of a draw in basketball, so instead of a 3-way market, you just have a 2-way market of the two teams. Because of how predictable basketball games are, the odds in the market are low. Unless you are confident in an upset, in which case you should bet on the underdogs to win.
The totals market is an over/under market in which you must forecast the total amount of points scored in a game. Predicting the totals is picking from a range of points from the two teams at the end of the game. You can also predict how many points each side will score or how many points will be scored every quarter. There are several methods to play in this market, depending on what the bookmaker offers.
This is the prediction of statistics at halftime and the end of every quarter for some bookmakers. This can be a bet on who has the most points at halftime. You can also wager on the number of points scored at halftime or the end of the game.
Future Betting
You have to bet on the final winner of the basketball season or a championship in the future bets market. The possible predictions are the winner of conference games, the playoffs, or the complete championship title.
Player bets
In the player bet markets, you will be betting on the star players in a game and predicting the player's statistics in a game. You can place bets on the number of points, rebounds, assists, three-pointer shots, and other player game statistics.
Live bet
This is not a betting market, but some bookmakers offer a feature that enables bettors the opportunity to place bets after the game has started. And it can even be more rewarding to watch matches and place bets simultaneously as you can make adjustments in your predictions if the initial predictions are not going according to plan. Of course, almost all the traditional betting markets are available in the live betting market.
Don't bet all of the time
Betting is enjoyable, but only when it is spaced out. The reason for spacing out is so that you can take enough time to make the research necessary for a correct prediction.
To make sure you're making informed bets, space your betting so you can have enough time to look at facts, statistics, and other ideas on betting prediction sites.
How Are Odds Calculated in Basketball?
Most bookmakers don't calculate odds the same way, even if they arrive at the same odds. The most common way odds are calculated is by looking at the probability of an event happening. With the massive use of software, bookmakers can take in all the information necessary to support the likelihood of an event occurring and create odds for games.
And they are several types of odds you will see at various bookmakers, such as American odds, decimal odds, fractional odds, implied odds. However, they represent the same odd.
See the equivalence of odds in the table below.
|American odds
|Decimal odds
|Fractional odds
|Implied odds
What Are the Best Basketball Betting Sites?
Basketball is a global sport, and there is a lot of development of basketball leagues in Asia and Africa currently. Even in Ghana, there is slow but steady progress for the game. But bettors can enjoy betting on basketball games in other countries via betting sites. For example, you can make your NBA predictions as one of the most popular and competitive basketball leagues globally, on betting sites in Ghana. Here are some of them.

In case you hadn't noticed, the S&P 500 index reached record, at 2,173, the S&P 500 finished above the previous high of 2,130.82, set on May 21, 2015.
We've waited more than a year for the market to get back to where they were before the downturn this January, before Brexit, before a lot of uncertainties in the last 12 months. The market top itself is an uncertainty; after all, many investors regard market tops warily. When stocks are more expensive than they have ever been (so goes the thinking) it may be time to sell and take your profits. However, if you followed this logic and sold every time the market hit a new high, you'd probably have been sitting on the sidelines during most of the long ride from the S&P at 13.55 in June 1949, which was the bull market high after the index started at 10. New highs are a normal part of the market, and it is just as likely that tomorrow will set a new one as not. In fact, overall, the market spends roughly 12% of its life at all-time highs.
We all know that the next bear market will start with an all-time high, but we can never know which one in advance. Market highs do not necessarily become market tops. Let's see if we can all celebrate this milestone without the usual dose of fear that often comes with new records.
