Indiana at Purdue: Three things to know
- Indiana has lost four straight and five of its past six games. Over those six games, the Hoosiers are shooting just 30.3% from behind the arc and are being outrebounded 33.8-30.0 on average.
- Purdue is flying under the radar in an otherwise stacked Big Ten as winners of four in a row, five of its past six and seven of 10 games (7-3 ATS). The Boilermakers are being led by All-America candidate PF Trevion Williams who has the top rebounding rate in the conference and is 5th in Player Efficiency Rating.
- The recent head-to-head history has been one-sided with Purdue winning eight straight and nine of the last 10 games (7-2-1 ATS). The Boilermakers pummeled the Hoosiers 81-69 as 4-point road underdogs in the first meeting of the season.

PASS on the money line since Purdue is the right side, but no way can we lay -350 for a Boilermakers' straight-up win in a conference game against an in-state rival.
Play our new free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!
Against the spread (ATS)
Leading Indiana scorer and star sophomore forward Trayce Jackson-Davis hasn't received much help on the offensive side of the ball this season and two of the Hoosiers' other top-3 scorers are listed as questionable.
Also, Williams wrecked Indiana's interior defense while putting up 22 points with 10 rebounds in the first contest, and I see Williams having similar success in this game as well.
Purdue has a plus-6.1 rebound margin per game while Indiana is minus-3.3 in rebound margin and the Hoosiers having to over-adjust for their weakness on the boards will help the Boilermakers get some wide-open jumpers.
BET PURDUE -7.5 (+100) for 1 unit.
Over/Under (O/U)
PASS with a lean on the Over 134.5 (-115) since my read is Purdue's offense gets whatever it wants against Indiana's defense and the market seemingly prefers the Over.
Because I don't have a strong feel for the total, the Over/Under has alternated in the last four meetings and both teams play at a slow tempo, I have to PASS on the total.

Ever wondered what happens if the forecast is showing bad weather for the day of your engagement session? The short answer: we adapt and make an awesome time out of it. Then you end up with the most fun rainy engagement photos!
Alexis & Freddy's Rainy Engagement Photos
Alexis and Freddy had the epitome of an engagement session with "bad weather." Seriously – we got it all. The weather was all over the place and constantly changing, going from tons of wind to shining sun to a bright rainbow. We got the best variety possible of moody lighting with the rain, beautiful direct sunlight + sunbeams, and the soft glow of golden hour. How could you ask for anything more?
We actually had around 20mph gusts of wind on this day – it wasn't just a light breeze. But my favorite part about wind is that it makes for really beautiful movement. I love getting to have the wind come out during my sessions, even though it might make it a little chillier. Just look at how amazing that movement is in Alexis's hair and dress in the photos below!
A Sweet Review from the Couple
"We wanted to hire a professional photographer because we wanted beautiful photos of us that we truly love, photos that we could walk past in our home and never tire of for years to come.
That is exactly what we got with Emily.
Having taken professional photos once before, we were familiar (and not too happy) with photos that made us look "posed" and stiff, so we really wanted more natural photos that felt more like us. When we came across Emily's gallery and photography, we immediately fell in love. She does a great job of trying to get to know the couple before the shoot so she can tailor the shoot specifically to the couple. It wasn't just hiring her then seeing her at the shoot – we had many discussions via email and texts beforehand. This effort and the research on her part really stood out to us. Because of it, we felt more comfortable at the shoot – like a friend was taking our pictures – which helped everything feel so much more natural. We were concerned with the actual shoot feeling awkward, but we were shocked at the end of it by how much fun it was!
All of this is just about our experience working with Emily…I haven't even touched on the final product – the photos themselves! She edits the photos beautifully in a true-to-life manner with a hint of moodiness. Basically, perfection. And the best part of what she does, is the way she captured us sharing a quiet moment, or laughing at something we said to each other. She didn't prompt these delicate moments, but she let them happen naturally and was there to catch them. Her ability to do this is something really special about her work. When I see those photos, it takes me back to those moments, and I can relive them over and over and remember exactly what he whispered in that moment to make me laugh.
Emily somehow figured out how to bottle up a beautiful memory and a feeling of happiness. That is what she gives you, and frankly, it is priceless. Hiring her was one of the best investments we have ever made.
To anyone on the fence about booking with her, I'm willing to bet that she will be one of the best investments you will ever make, too."
Read the full review on my Yelp listing!
What to Do with Bad Weather During Your Session
Many people might think that we automatically reschedule our session if the weather forecast isn't looking great. But as you can tell by what I've already said, I really do enjoy some crazy weather! Hawaii gets a lot of passing rain showers, which is how everything is able to stay so beautiful and green. We will most likely continue on with our session even when we get some showers, as our rain on the island is often light and passing.
Rain creates a completely unique atmosphere for your photos and really adds variety. That way, not all of your photos look the same. Rain enables us to capture different beautiful lighting scenarios. And to me, rain is something that reminds me to let go of my expectations and go with the flow! Rainy engagement photos can absolutely be just as beautiful as sunny ones. We'll make an amazing time out of the rain as long as it's not a dangerous storm! And don't worry about my photography gear at all – I have weather gear to shoot with in the rain, since Hawaii does get showers so often. I'm ready for anything!

1. Yes, they knew what they were doing by setting up or: staging the "Fall Out" trial. They didn't really expect No. 6 to "govern" them. In a way that's their defeat. What I was wondering about, the havoc that unfolds, the gun fighting (albeit a bit theatrical), it couldn't have been part of the plan, could it?ReplyDelete
2. What is brainwashing? I think I can mean a variety of things. Psychological brainwashing in order to convert somebody into a different belief, ideology e.g. And physical brainwashing in order to virtually erase a personality/identity and perhaps induce a new one. And the more subtle method of creating a different behaviour by means of media content and the permanent manipulation of it. Perhaps there's always a combination of them. - BCNU!Replies
Hello Arno,Delete
I'm sure that the havoc that unfolds, the violent revolution, was not part of the plan. I wonder about is how it is, that during that fire-fight, it's only the armed security guards that get killed!
It's possible for brainwashing can be all those things you suggest. It is always possible that I, and many like me have been brainwashed by 'the Prisoner!'
Very kind regards
Another way to put it. Touché!ReplyDelete

One question I'm often asked by my clients is whether or not they're allowed to change the URL of a specific webpage. It's totally understandable for a non-SEO to want to change a bunch of URLs around, but it's one of the worst things you can do for your website's traffic. When you're optimizing any given webpage, there are several places where you can change some of the wording around.
The page's URL is NOT one of those places. But…why?
Any web page that brings you organic traffic is doing so because it has been indexed by Google. This basically means that Google has identified the exact URL of that web page has determined what that web page is about. The longer a web page is live, the more data Google can collect about user behaviour and search intent. When Google can clearly understand the purpose and intent of your web pages, it can better direct more traffic to that page.
Keep reading to learn why pages lose SEO value once you change their URL.
How to Change a Page's URL Without Losing SEO
You can change the URL of any given page and keep the SEO value by using a 301 redirect. A 301 redirect tells search engines that a page URL has been permanently moved to a new URL. This will automatically redirect the webpage to the new URL while preserving the SEO value accrued since the URL has gone live.
Bear in mind that redirection does not preserve 100% of the SEO value. Any time a URL has to be redirected, it can lose nearly 20% of its value for every redirect "hop" it has to jump through. This is mostly due to the complicated data collection process that has to begin for every new URL indexed by Google.
How to Perform a 301 Redirect
301 redirects can be complicated if you've never had to do one. They typically require adding a line or two of code in your website's htaccess file. If you're using WordPress, then using an SEO plugin like RankMath or YoastSEO will provide you with a 301 redirection tool. Also look into reading Ahref's guide that covers 301 redirects extensively.
Continue reading to learn about indexation and search data.
What Happens When You Change a Page URL
Changing an aged URL is no different than deleting that web page from the internet. To better understand what happens when you change a page's URL, you need to understand what happens when you publish a new web page, and therefore, a new URL.
Getting a URL Indexed
When a new page is published and a new URL is created, Google has no idea that it exists. In order to get Google to discover the new URL, it needs to be accessible somewhere in your website's navigation. This process is called indexation, and getting your URL indexed is crucial to ranking.
This can be done by putting a link to the new page in:
- your homepage
- any other existing, previously discovered (indexed) page.
- your site navigation
- a sidebar or widget
Every now and again, Google will re-scan your website and try to discover as many new webpages as possible. This is called "crawling", and it is done as frequently as Google deems necessary. The time Google spends scanning your site is determined by your site's crawl budget, which is only something you need to worry about if your website has at least a few thousand pages.
Alternatively, you can submit your new URL directly to Google using the Search Console tool. When you submit your URL to Google, it will check if the page is live, then will give you an option to request indexing. For any webpage that is critical to your SEO efforts, it is highly recommended to request indexation directly from Google.
Wait For Google to Start Collecting Search Data
Search data is what makes the SEO world go 'round. Your URL won't see any traction until people actually use Google to search for the keywords you're targeting. This data is entirely built from user behaviour.
Google looks at:
- How many different keywords are triggering your webpage to show up in search results
- The impressions your URL gets from search results
- Whether or not people are actually clicking your headline (click-through rate or CTR)
- What your current position (ranking) is in relation to your competitors (and all their search data)
Building Internal Links to Boost Relevance
Linking your webpages together is not just about helping Google to discover new pages. It can also be a powerhouse driver of relevance. Internal linking is almost like a cheating way to earn a backlink from your own website. Any time you need to boost up the ranking of another page, simply mention some key points from that article and link to it. Bonus points if you can optimize your anchor text efficiently. Some tools can even help you do internal linking without thinking too much about it.
If you've been doing some strong internal linking throughout your site, then changing a page URL will give you tons of broken links that need fixing. Not only do you wipe all the search data for that web page, you create a handful of crawling errors throughout your site.
Building Backlinks to Improve The Authority of a URL
Backlinks will point directly to the URL you're trying to rank. If you lose that URL, you lose that backlink and all the benefit it was providing to your web page and your entire domain. Broken backlinks are also hurtful for the websites that were gracious enough to provide you with one. Don't piss off other website owners by giving them SEO errors on their end.
Losing backlinks because of a URL change is one of the most expensive mistakes you can make for your website. A backlink offers relevance, authority, and adds to your domain's overall authority and online presence.

As many of you may have known, TheBlondeBass decided to do a game shuffle where a bunch of us put in suggestions of games we would like others to try and he would randomize the games and let us know who got what. I was given the Chrono Trigger. This game was put in by Vxxy, so needless to say he was pretty excited to see me try it out. I had never even heard of this game before this whole shuffle. I then found out that this game is pretty popular and has a high reputation of being a great game. Juice told me a little about it, but left it most to mystery so I could find out for myself. I went into the game knowing I would have a party of players to fight with and it would kind of be a turn base fighting game. I was getting pretty excited to try this out. It seemed like it would be right up my alley of something I would want to spend a lot of time playing. Which was good because I needed something new to keep me busy since I am still recovering.
With some insisting on Juices' part, I decided I would stream my gameplay and let everyone know what I thought of it first hand. I set up my twitch account ready to play. Juice helped with the techy parts and we got the ball rolling. People recommended I play the Super Nintendo verision.
I got going. Everything seemed fine. I named my bestfriend JuIc3, which at the time I didn't realize was a girl but that isn't important. The controls were simple enough. I went out exploring, went to the town fair and talked to everyone. I was optimistic about the game. I beat the singing robot thing and it seemed like it would be a simple game. He seemed to wait for my attacks and I could fully process my decision making. Then Zabby my blonde lady friend got caught in time. So I went after her. I went into the forest and the first thing that really frustrated me was having to fight the same bad guys all the time. I would get to a new load or something and then would go back and have to fight the exact same people. I was also beginning to realize that the bad guys were not waiting for me to decide my attack before they attacked me. It was very overwhelming to having to think quicker and make a decision about what move I wanted to make.
I made it to the castle/church thing and it seemed the enemies were just attacking me that much faster. I was getting very frustrated. This was not the type of game I wanted to play at all. I even at the beginning of the game I picked wait instead of active. I thought that meant they would wait for me before they attacked. I kept getting stuck or caught by the same bad guys over and over again even though I would have just cleared the room.
Out of some miracle I made it to the first boss and he was the most frustrating and overwhelming thing I have ever had to face. I couldn't react fast enough. I couldn't heal fast enough. My brain just wouldn't work. I don't know how and I don't know why but I finally beat it.
So after playing for over an hour and feeling like I made any progress in the game, my overall thoughts of the game - I really didn't like it at all. I just didn't like it. It was maddingly frustrating. I couldn't master the controls. You fight the same bad guys over and over. I gave it an honest mans try but I am sorry not sorry to say that I won't be playing again anytime soon or ever. Maybe I will try a newer verision where the game waits for me to make my move before an enemy just attacks me. I will just stick to playing Persona 4 Golden for now.
I know I will probably get a lot of backlash for saying I don't like this game, but I tried it. I really did. I am not just saying I didn't like it without any real experience with it. You can't expect everyone to like every single game that you like. So I am sorry that I don't like/love or enjoyed this game. I don't hate on anyone who does. Just giving my opinion of my experience.
-Also cocks.

Nine municipalities, of the 56 awarded with the Green Flag EcoXXI 2020, reached an index equal or higher than 80 percent in the programme on sustainability issues, which this year had more than 60 participants.
During the online presentation of the Green Flag Award EcoXXI 2020, themunicipalities of Pombal, Loures, Torres vedras, Águeda, Leiria, Lousã, Braga, Funchal and Maia reached a score equal or higher than 80 percent, in a set of 21 indicators that allow "to measure the behaviour of each municipality on the path of sustainability".
Of the 62 candidates, 56 municipalities won the Green Flag EcoXXI for reaching an index equal or higher than 50 percent, while six failed because they didn't reach the minimum objectives to be distinguished.
"56 municipalities won the flag, which attests to the good results achieved and the ability to become more sustainable", said José Archer, president of the Associação Bandeira Azul (ABAE), promoter of the EcoXXI programme.
As already happened in 2019, the districtof Lisbon was the most participative, with nine municipalities (one more than last year), followed by Coimbra, with eight municipalities (also one more compared to 2019), and the Autonomous Region of the Azores, with six (the same number of 2019).
The EcoXXI programme has been implemented since 2005 by the Blue Flag Association of Europe and aims to recognise the best sustainability practices at the local level, through the assessment, by a set of experts, of 21 indicators and 71 sub-indicators in the environmental, social and economic areas.


text: While the market is still in very challenging waters it is still my surprise to see today new brands with a very ambitious project of a line of sport yachts from 72 to 112 feet. Doride Yacht from Milan is such a builder and presents its first project of a sport yacht with an invisible flybridge of 72 feet. The Doride 72 is a interesting design although on the exterior architect Coppo from Messina, Sicily responsible for the project has been inspired a little too much by another Italian brand from the Adriatic sea. But the difference is in the details to see and while the Doride may be a bit similar to something else, the new company offers some unique touches like the four cabin lower deck plus a two person crew cabin aft, a two level main deck layout which looks coming from a motor yacht, and the still not so easy to find on a 21 metres sport yacht invisible flying bridge. The fly offers a central helm station for two persons, a bench seat, and a central wide sun pad. Power for the Doride 72 is twin MAN 1550hp in a Vee drive shaft configuration which should give an estimated top speed of 36 knots. Construction will be with environment friendly infusion resin method.

Travelling around Sado
Roads on Sado are narrow compared to the mainland and have many tunnels. There is not a railway on Sado, so driving your own car is the best way to get around at your own pace. Sado, also, has extensive bus networks, and buses play a vital role for both islanders and visitors. Other travel options include fixed-route, escorted tour bus services, taxis, and rental cars.
Scheduled Tour Bus (escorted)
Tour bus services operate from Ryostu Port or Ogi Port to accommodate passengers arriving by Sado Kisen's ships. Bus tours are themed or planned to include only strictly-selected highlights, so you can efficiently visit the most popular tourist sites. All bus tours require advance booking, and you may join on the day of the tour only if vacancies are available. For details, please contact a tour operator, or Niigata Kotsu Sado Sightseeing Bus Booking Centre at 0259-52-3200.
Regular Bus Services
There are 16 bus routes covering the vast area of the island, and buses help make it easy to get to remote communities, where tour buses do not go. In some places, you can get on and off the bus where-ever you like. This is not possible on the Honsen Line, however, or on some of the other main lines. Some bus services operate very infrequently and you might need to make some transfers, depending on your destinations. Please make sure to check timetables in advance. A two-day, unlimited ride pass is available on weekends and holidays.
For details, please visit Niigata Kotsu Sado's website.
*See timetables
There are three types of taxi: small taxi can accommodate up to five passengers; medium up to six; and jumbo taxi up to ten (including a driver).
There are seventeen basic sightseeing taxi tour courses with a driver doubling as a tour guide. The courses can be customised to suit your preferences based on consultation.

Clinicians, HIV advocates, and people living with HIV used evidence-based research to develop anti-stigma guidelines for health care settings on 3 specific levels:
Every person and every interaction has the power to reinforce or refute the HIV stigma.
Health care leaders must lead by example and establish an anti-stigma culture from the operating room to the boardroom.
To see true procedural and systemic change, we must push for long-term shifts at the organizational level.
Download our full anti-stigma guidelines to learn more about how to create a stigma-free workplace.
Transforming the culture of your organization or workplace requires procedural and structural changes to typical practices.
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's immune system. If HIV is not treated, it can lead to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).
While there is currently no cure, with proper care, HIV can be controlled. People with HIV can live long, healthy lives and protect their partners.
HIV stigma refers to negative attitudes, behaviors, and judgments towards people living with or at risk of HIV.
HIV Stigma discourages some individuals from learning their HIV status, accessing treatment, or staying in care. HIV stigma also affects those at risk of HIV by discouraging them from seeking HIV prevention care and testing, or from talking openly with their sex partners about safer sex practices.
HIV service organziations can always use a lending hand with onsite or mobile testing events, fundraising activities, professional services, and administrative support. Reach out to see how you can get involved.
There are several HIV awareness related holidays throughout the year. Use these days as opportunities to raise awareness and encourage people to get tested or seek care.
Checkout the latest webinars, conferences, social media channels, and events to learn about the latest tools and resources in HIV prevention, care, and treatment.

At the Oregon Employment Department, we value community and foster a sense of belonging for our employees and applicants. We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations in the workplace because they embody these values, as well as our operating principle of promoting a positive, safe, and learning environment.
Reasonable accommodations may be requested for disability; limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition; religion; and domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or harassment. In general, a reasonable accommodation means a change or adjustment to a job or work environment. Reasonable accommodations may be requested at any point of the employment process. This can include during recruitment, training, discipline, a change in health or work environment, etc. Every request for a reasonable accommodation will be addressed fairly and respectfully and through an individualized assessment and interactive process.
Retaliating against an employee or applicant for requesting or asking about an accommodation is prohibited, and suspected retaliation should be reported to Human Resources or a manager.
Employees and applicants are encouraged to directly contact a Human Resources Business Partner or the ADA Coordinator to discuss their needs. In the ADA Coordinator's absence, please contact the backup ADA Coordinator or Human Resources for assistance. Employees and applicants may also contact their manager/hiring manager to discuss their needs. Managers will then assist in connecting the employee or applicant to the ADA Coordinator or appropriate Human Resources Business Partner. Requests may be made orally or in writing. Initial written requests do not need to include the request form linked below, and employees and applicants do not need to mention phrases such as "ADA" or "reasonable accommodation" in their request. All written requests for accommodations will receive a written acknowledgment within 7 calendar days, and all requests (either written or verbal) will be reviewed and responded to in a timely manner.
After the request is made, a Human Resources Business Partner will be assigned to engage in an interactive process with the employee and their manager to determine next steps. The interactive process is a collaborative dialogue between the employee and Human Resources to gather information, assess options, and determine next steps. At times, depending on the particular circumstances at issue, the agency may ask for additional information to document your request or to facilitate the interactive process.
The Human Resources Director or their designee (i.e. a Human Resources Business Partner) will make the final accommodation determination. Each accommodation is unique to the person and the nature of the job. The agency must give primary consideration to the specific accommodation requested by the employee. However, through the interactive process, the agency may identify and provide an alternative accommodation.
Reasonable accommodations do not include modifications or adjustments that cause an undue hardship to the agency. A reasonable accommodation also does not include lowering production standards, promoting or assigning an employee to a higher-paying job, creating a position, or reassigning essential functions to another worker. Reasonable accommodations are intended to enable qualified workers to apply for a job, perform the essential functions of a job, and to enjoy the same benefits and privileges of employment as all employees.
The Employment Department will provide an initial response to requests for reasonable accommodation expeditiously and within no more than 7 calendar days. When an interactive process is needed, the agency will also proceed as quickly as possible through the interactive process and without causing an unnecessary delay. The length of time to conduct the interactive process varies depending on many factors. The person requesting an accommodation will be updated on the status of their request, the factors involved in responding to a request for accommodation, and the anticipated timeline.
In determining whether the agency has created an unnecessary delay in responding to a request for reasonable accommodation, relevant factors would include: (1) the reason(s) for the delay, (2) the length of the delay, (3) how much the individual with a disability and the agency each contributed to the delay, (4) what the agency was doing during the delay, and (5) whether the required accommodation was simple or complex to provide.
Reasonable Accommodation Request Form (to be completed by employee or applicant). *Please download and save this form to your computer before entering information.*
All applicants and employees have the option to start their request by submitting this form. However, completing this form may not be needed in all circumstances.

In 1972, American diplomat Mason Skiles (Jon Hamm) is living the good life in Beirut, married to Nadia (Leïla Bekhti) and hosting cocktail parties for the country's elites and visiting dignitaries. The Skiles are good friends with the CIA's Cal Riley (Mark Pellegrino) and his wife Alice (Kate Fleetwood). But Mason's life is upturned when Karim, a 13-year old Palestinian boy who is almost part of Mason's family, is revealed as the brother of a terrorist involved in the attack on Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics.
Ten years later Mason is an alcoholic working as a labour negotiator in Boston. The CIA calls him back to Beirut, now destroyed by a civil war. Field officer Sandy (Rosamund Pike) and Ambassador Whalen (Larry Pine) reveal Cal has been abducted and the kidnappers have specifically requested Mason's involvement to negotiate a prisoner swap. Mason is soon embroiled in a dangerous game involving terrorists, the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and ghosts from his past, with the integrity of America's regional spy network at stake and Israel itching to invade Lebanon and drive out the PLO.
The plot basics are promising and grounded in actual events, including the impenetrable complexities of the civil war, the Palestinian cause, notorious acts of terror, Israel's ambitions to invade the country, American bumbling, and the foreign hostage-taking crisis. But the specifics disappoint, including the utterly exhausted alcoholism angle, an unfortunate camels-on-the-beach shot, and dreadfully misplaced accents. The negotiations to free Riley start strong with a nimble side trip to Israel, but with the clock running down Gilroy and Anderson default to muddled short-cuts and under-developed contrivances.
Jon Hamm allows Mason's perpetual five o'clock shadow and frumpled clothes carrying the stale stench of alcohol to dominate. Rosamund Pike never quite gets a handle on her character, while the rest of the cast stick to basic agitated spy / more agitated militiaman stereotypes. Beirut provides a rich canvass, but the picture fades.

"One of the most talented musicians and between the best young American acoustic guitarist. Marcus plays guitar like God on a good day" – This is how DAVID CROSBY described the acclaimed musician Marcus Eaton.
Route 61 Music published a wordwide preview, in advance with the American release expected for the next year, off the new album "Versions of the Truth" by Marcus Eaton. Exhiting and sharp lyrics, complex melodies but easy to catch, Eaton refines his virtuoso technic by guitar very similar as high level artist such as Pat Metheny, Michael Hedges and Tommy Emmanuel…
An extraordinary acoustic guitarist, but also a great songwriter, he has previously collaborated with David Crosby and opened for artists such as Bob Dylan and Dave Matthews. Additionally, Marcus has recently been working on the David Crosby documentary, 'Remember My Name', the score of which was released this yea through recording studios and during the long American tour together. Despite Marcus is a solo performer, his technic, the way he plays pedals and loops with his voice, all at once gets engaging shows, thanks also to an eclectic set list for his performance, in addition of covers by Michael Jackson, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Paul Simon, AC-DC all arranged with a very interesting version.
MARCUS EATON is now getting an international relevance for his music which redefined nowdays the acoustic rock genre.

Blackjack Odds
Blackjack is a casino game which can be played in the land based casino or through the internet. However, when you are playing blackjack whether through the internet or in the land based casino, you should be very careful. You need to watch out for the situation in which the odds favour you or the house.
Blackjack odds
The odds even at the initial time are in favour of the casinos by 8 percent. This is chiefly caused by the blackjack rule which stipulates that players should draw their card first and if it has happens that they bust then they have lost the game. This has nothing to do with the house. Whether he busts or not, matters not. This is an advantage of to the house owing to the fact that the house and players always bust 8 percent of the time.
However, you can cut down this advantage to 0.5 percent if you can reasonable apply the fundamental strategy. It also depends on your ability to be able to know when to hit as well as when to stand.
Blackjack strategy
As it has been said before you can decrease the house advantage by 0.5 percent if you can play carefully knowing when to hit and stand. This does not eliminate the house advantage completely. The odd is still in on the side of the house. To beat the house implies reducing the house advantage to 0.5 percent or even below that.
You can accomplish this using two means. The first means through which you can do this is by betting huge amount. It is a well known fact that big players in blackjack - meaning those who wager with huge amount and also play regularly - are taken care of by the casinos.
Card Counting
Another way through which you cut down the house edge is through card counting. To do this you have to look for a blackjack table that favours card counting. Then play on that table. However, card counting is not useful in online casino. Consequently, you should not think of that when you are playing blackjack through the internet. All you need to do in online blackjack is to apply some fundamental blackjack strategy. Card counting does not work in online casinos.
It is good for you to know that blackjack rules differ from one casino to another. Another thing that you should know is that the payout of blackjack is 3:2.

The Covid-19 pandemic has ensured that the conditions in garment sweatshops in Leicester are no longer an open secret shared by those in the know, but a nationally recognised shame. The government should be seizing this opportunity and taking action to rid these factories and many other workplaces around the country of exploitation.
Instead, the weekend brought us reports of Priti Patel comparing the situation in Leicester to the Rotherham grooming scandal, suggesting that "cultural sensitivities" were the reason why the endemic abuse had not been tackled. This sounds like an attempt to distract us from the policy failures that have led us here, to a country in which more than 10,000 potential victims of modern slavery were identified in 2019, and everyday products have exploitation in their supply chains.
Employers push abusive working conditions on to workers for one very simple reason: to make more money. In this way, it's an opportunistic act. So, very simply, we need to remove the opportunity. How do we do that? There are three clear ways: properly funded labour inspection, ensuring reporting abuse is safe for migrant workers, and strong unionisation. None of them involve cultural sensitivities, and government has been asked for them repeatedly over the years.
We can't expect to have decent workplaces without proper enforcement of our labour laws. For too long, labour inspection has been portrayed as busybody interference or "red tape". This narrative allows government to get away with shameful underfunding of our inspectorates. The stats say it all: the likelihood of a minimum wage inspection by HMRC for an average employer is once every 500 years. The Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, our foremost agency tasked with tackling precisely the kinds of conditions reported in Leicester, has just over 100 staff to cover the entire labour market of England and Wales. Labour inspectors weren't even named as "essential workers" on government lists when the pandemic took hold. They're treated as the poor relation of policing, and yet without them to hold the line, labour abuses escalate into full-blown modern slavery. For government to point the finger at these frontline services for the situation in Leicester is, at best, ignorance of the facts, and, at worst, offensive to these underfunded agencies.
Funding labour inspectorates properly alone won't solve problems like those in Leicester. Instead of conjecture, Patel would do better to look at how her own department's policies are making the situation so much worse. The hostile environment – and specifically, the illegal working offence – makes it impossible for migrant workers with irregular status to feel safe to report abuse. They're forced to choose between staying in exploitative situations or risking detention and deportation if they report harm. Even being a victim of modern slavery won't protect them; hundreds of victims have been locked up in immigration jails in the UK on a regular basis. And exploitative bosses know this, directly using migrant workers' fear to force them to accept abusive conditions. This is so well recognised that the government's own form for referring victims of modern slavery to support services includes "threat of being handed over to authorities" as an indicator. There's a very straightforward way to solve this: repeal the illegal working offence and introduce "secure reporting", which ensures any reports of workplace abuse are kept separate from immigration enforcement.
Finally, the most effective defenders of workplace rights are workers themselves. We've become inured to the decline of unions, and yet Covid-19 demonstrates their importance: without them ensuring that health and safety rules – like social distancing and PPE – are observed, this job is left to business. Brands do have the power to ensure unionisation in their supply chains, just like they have the power to impose such low prices for orders that necessitate poverty wages, but they don't use it. Boohoo was outed during a 2019 parliamentary inquiry for refusing "even the most basic level of engagement" with the union Usdaw, and for being generally hostile to workers organising for their rights. If the government really wants to avoid more lockdowns and more exploitation, it should mandate unionisation in high-risk sectors.
Properly funded labour inspection, ensuring reporting abuse is safe for migrant workers, and strong unionisation are the foundations of a decent and healthy labour market. Without them in place, we'll continue to have the kind of appalling situation exposed in Leicester. The health of our workplaces and communities requires us not to be distracted by red herring explanations but to keep calling for a post-Covid-19 future that puts these foundations firmly in place at last.

The 8,514-square-foot manse at 61 Arborway in Jamaica Plain has quite the history—and quite the reputation.
The house has put itself out there for a short sale for $1,500,000. (What's a short sale? Why, glad you asked!) We doubt it'll get that as the listing frankly admits that the house needs "some TLC" to bring it "back to life." What kind of life has 61 Arborway had? Well, according to a Globe article from 1937, it was built in the late 19th century around part of a house dating from 1650, making the bones of the current castle perhaps the oldest residential ones in JP. The property has connections to the Revolution, too, and apparently "1760" can be seen on the back of one of the 11 fireplaces.
Its more recent history is not quite as illustrious: The man who bought 61 Arborway in December 2005 for $1,650,000 was notorious not only for garish Christmas lights, but for apparently owing $123,833.37 in back child support. Classy. According to city property records, the castle appears to be owned by a female relative.

With the internet providing a faceless arena in which individuals can impersonate others and manipulate both accounts and users, it is most important that users of the internet both young and old are aware of such tactics and put preventative measures in place.
The act of using either a fake online identity or replicating a preexisting one in order to:
– Gain personal information for password hacking
– Bully or harm someone else's online reputation
– Steal money and/or coax others into giving gifts
– Pursue relationships online
– Perform predatory & grooming actions
Gaining personal information for password hacking
Just like earlier mentioned methods of password phishing such as email and text, having a fake account that can interact with individuals catfishing is a way for hackers to remain anonymous while they attempt to gather personal information about an individual that could help further their hacking attempts on social and bank accounts.
Bully or harm someone else's online reputation
While cyberbullying is more often than not, targeted online harassment from a from known assailants. This form of cyberbullying comes from people hiding behind the anonymity of a false identity, to bully, harass and even harm someone else's reputation online whether they truly know their victim or not. Research has shown that a large percentage of students who bully others via social media often use a fake account to do so. Currently the most popular social media platform to do so is Instagram with over 50% of students operating multiple accounts at the same time.
Check here for more information on how to protect your password:
Steal money and/or coax others into giving gifts
This form of catfishing usually takes the form of a scammer replicating someone's social media account down to the last detail, then re-adding that person's friend list.
Once they have an almost identical social media account, that's when they begin to direct message people within the friend's list with messages explaining that they're down on their luck and in need of some financial help.
Most cases asks for small amounts of money from multiple people, so as to not raise suspicion. However, this approach to catfishing doesn't necessarily need to take the form of a loved one going through a tough time, often people will convince others that they are entering a romantic online relationship, only to be tricked into giving gifts and financial aid.
Ways to avoid being caught out:
– Keep your accounts on private
– Never accept anyone's invitations unless you can confirm they are real (ask a personal question for security before accepting their request).
– If anyone you know online is asking for money, make sure to ask more security questions or call the individual to confirm that they are in fact in contact with you.
– Be mindful that over 25% of all Facebook accounts are fake.
Pursuing relationships online
When catfishing is ever mentioned, more often than not it is in reference to imitation online relationships, usually taking the form of a person hiding behind a false online identity due to the insecure nature and inability for certain people to make friends. This form of catfishing is quite prevalent online, as it frees people up to reinvent themselves at the expense of others – comparatively to the other forms of catfishing, this particular case of misleading others online does not tend to endanger others' security or finances, yet it can be socially devastating to those involved if they are to discover they have been emotionally mislead.
Predatory & grooming purposes
This is different than sexting. These particular cases of catfishing involve adults who assume fake online identities in an effort to interact with and get close to young people with the intention of committing sexual harm (expanded upon in the next chapter).
Discuss personal information
Conversations about personal information are important to keeping children safe. You can discuss the following:
- Tell your child not to share their passwords with others.
- Remind your child to only give their mobile number or personal information to trusted friends.
- Make sure that your child's account settings are set to 'private' to control who sees their information.
- Remind your child to think carefully before they post comments, or upload or send images online.

Fort Benning is being considered as the next military base to house migrant children
Stars and Stripes April 6, 2021
WASHINGTON — Fort Benning, Ga., is the latest military base to be considered to temporarily house migrant children, the chief Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services conducted a site visit at the Army installation Wednesday, John Kirby told reporters at the Pentagon.
HHS has not sent a letter to the Defense Department to use Fort Benning, he said. The Army installation is the home of the service's infantry, armor, airborne, and Ranger schools.
The visit comes after three military installations have been requested to support HHS with temporarily housing migrant children as crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border have increased in recent weeks. Unaccompanied children who are found by U.S. Border Patrol agents must be transferred to HHS within 72 hours. Due to the increase in people at these border facilities, HHS has been asking the Defense Department to provide land and facilities to house the children.
On Friday, the Pentagon approved a HHS request for land and facilities to house children at Camp Roberts, a National Guard installation in central California. The base could potentially house up to 1,500 children, according to local news reports.
The first request from HHS asked to use space on two Texas military bases: Fort Bliss near El Paso and Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. Fort Bliss has slightly less than 1,000 children at the HHS site on the base, Kirby said Tuesday. The location has soft-sided tents and can house up to 5,000 children.
A request to HHS about the site visit and the status of children at the three other military installations was not immediately returned Tuesday afternoon.
