"Edubrisk is an educational institute dedicated to imparting knowledge to students. In my opinion it has a well-organized approach. The classes helped my son to clear his doubts & equipped him to face future exams".
EduBrisk does the planning for the teacher by listing down the important topics and sub-topics. It also provides the teacher with enough working space wherein we can add our notes as well.
EduBrisk has helped me learn more within a short span of time. My favorite feature is the personalized notes. It allowed me to note down important points while studying and that made it so easy to revise the main text quickly. To Know More
The biggest concern every teacher today faces is on how to cater to the individual needs of every student in the classroom. EduBrisk solves that concern once and for all.
EduBrisk's Learning Skill Development Programme and its E-Learning Platform are unique and it will play an important role in Inclusive Learning
EduBrisk gives us teachers, enormous knowledge, and background to make teaching a very fundamental and exploratory process.
Initially, I was skeptical of a new methodology like EduBrisk being able to teach subjects that students usually find difficult such as History and Civics. Although, once I used EduBrisk, I noticed that the comprehension and performance levels of my students had gone up. It is a definite recommend.
"Switching over to the EduBrisk way took some effort initially, but immediately helped improving my memory skills and recall abilities.These led to increased confidence in facing exams and further, achieve better academic performance. My communication skills and general awareness increased as well."
I was weak in Maths and Science. With EduBrisk, I am not anymore.
" The best thing EduBrisk has taught me is 'How to Learn'. I can use this skill to learn anything I want to learn, whenever I want to learn... Learning has become so easy... " To Know More
EduBrisk's memory techniques and their Step down Theory or Diagnostic Tests have impressed me the most.
"Edubrisk helps to improve the overall academic performance of students. The workshop content is good. It helps students develop an interest in the subject/topic as there are visual inputs. Parents will be able to review their ward's work. It has brought technology to teaching. Teaching and learning has become more enjoyable, interactive and interesting both for teachers as well as students".
The Diagnostic Tests of EduBrisk are exactly like how a doctor diagnoses us for symptoms before prescribing the right medicine.
I always found memorizing the dates in History a tough task. EduBrisk has made it a lot more fun and easier now.
"I want to thank the entire team of EduBrisk for bringing and introducing this system of learning and I hope it would be helpful for my kid and Guardian Public School children".
If a teacher feels that a subject is difficult to teach, EduBrisk's training using their well thought out features help them overcome the problem. Their Memory Chimes help students and teachers alike. The energetic faculty of EduBrisk makes the sessions a lot livelier.
We are delighted with EduBrisk because we have been trying to move Parents understanding and some Teachers' understanding away from believing that the learning in CBSE is limited to the covers of the Text Books.
It gives a structured platform for active engagement of parents in the curriculum and studies of the child.
EduBrisk is a different kind of audio-visual platform that makes sure the students and teachers both participate in its techniques and have fun while doing so. The Stepdown Theory, Diagnostic Tests, and Self-Assessment Tests after every lesson has been very helpful.
"Despite initial reservations I adopted the EduBrisk Methodology. A gradual, but constant change in my academic performances and behavior however strengthened my belief in the EduBrisk Methodologies, leading to increased commitment from me.There was a palpable transformation from my earlier negative outlook to a positive one and my lack of interest in studies was replaced by the desire to study and do well for myself in life!"
EduBrisk has the potential to revolutionize the teaching industry as a whole. It not just enhances the skills of students but also of us teachers as well. Our students love EduBrisk and we have been receiving marvelous feedback.
EduBrisk's Diagnostic Tests help us improve our skills by providing multiple choice questions on any subject that we feel we are weak in.
I am so positive about the life skills that EduBrisk is imparting to the Students and the Teaching community. I am truly satisfied with EduBrisk at AMLED School , To view more Click Here
EduBrisk is the perfect example of inclusive teaching. it is an interactive tool for the children as well as their parents and a multi-dimensional tool for the teachers.EduBrisk gets your basis right and their memory chimes have been working wonders.
"I came for the open house program primarily but I happened to attend the session early and I am thankful that I attended it mainly because the way that session was conducted was very well. The sir surprised us all in the group by recollecting all the things associated with numbers. So I am very curious to know how he is doing it and looking forward to understand that and hope our children also gets benefitted from that".
"EduBrisk approach improved my academic performance and social interaction. I sincerely worked on adopting the EduBrisk Methodologies and as a consequence, there was great improvement in my handwriting and writing skills. My fear of examination was reduced. I now look forward to do well in the Board Examinations."
I liked EduBrisk very much. It was very funny and I enjoyed learning here. The teachers too were very caring.
The intricately planned structure of EduBrisk and its even better execution of those plans have been working wonders for the children. Their Diagnostic Test instills confidence in a student and helps them realize where they are.
I was very bad at memorizing points. The memory techniques of EduBrisk have helped me improve a notch and I am sure it will have a major role to play in my future academics.
"After joining EduBrisk,my academic performance across Subjects, especially Social Science, increased significantly and a noticeable boost in self-confidence, as a consequence of better academic performance was observed. Greatly improved communication skills also helped boost my confidence and helped me grasp EduBrisk Methods and Memory techniques more easily, thereafter."
EduBrisk has been very caring and supportive in its approach towards children and we would want to take this opportunity to use this platform as the pathway to our child's success.
EduBrisk are thorough professionals and highly effective in influencing and educating Teachers in Inclusive Learning. I am truly impressed by the work they have already accomplished, their passion & dedication to impart Learning and Teaching Methodologies, and their holistic approach to Education.
I take great pride in acknowledging the wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field of 21st Century Education that EduBrisk has showcased, during our association with them.

Best of luck as always!
race 1 average clarity
(if off the grass 10-4-1-2-6)
10 Ketos 1st on the sod but owns a very good pedigree for it........and plenty of advantages early speed....should be in the this from start to finish if he lives up to his turf breeding

1 True Ten
race 3 average clarity
5 Fans On the Run MC debut last is better than appears in print and the fact he went off at 31 to 1 odds strongly suggests he wasn't all the cranked up and that more should occur this afternoon.....and his a.m. since his debut sure supports the notion
1 It's Just Bob on the improve and drops......a touch leery that he might be somewhat off.......but......Bonde is in win mode so maybe he has remained in good form......fits solidly if he has
2 Hoosier Road tough trip in MC debut or could have been "right there" at the wire.......was pounded to favorite so likely he was very well prepared and meant......now drops......hmmmmm.......like our 2nd choice I am a little leery that he is returning the same individaul......but the one to beat if he is and gets a better trip
4 Dramatic Angel
race 4 average clarity
(if off of the grass 7-11-1-2-12)
7 She's a Warrior beat 1/2 the field in a Grade 2 and was only beaten by 10L but Songbird (see race 5).......still a maiden......1st on the sod but mom has tossed 2 grass winners from 5 starters.....should be a solid competitor here if she takes to the green carpet
1 Quigley's Corner last is better than loooks.......sharp drill.....very good turf pedigree....switch in surfaces should be a plus

9 Queen Scheherazade
race 5 above average clarity
6 Songbird S Cal has been cranking out the top females in the nation for quite some time......as in Zenyatta - Beholder - and now Songbird.........filly is so much the best here she would have to blow a gasket or get a trip from you know where not to dominate this from start to finish
2 Land Over Sea surprised the connections haven't shipped to get away from the freak that Songbird is.......although running 2nd & 3rd in two Grade 1's and 2nd in a Grade 2 solidifies her value for her future as a broodmare
9 Not Now Carolyn vaulted forward to break her maiden 1st time running a route of ground in her last......earned a solid fig.....likely needs to avoid any kind of duel with the 1 to 9 ML favorite
1 My Dynamo
race 6 average clarity
7 Hard Night's Day lifetime best and disguised by about 8L of trip trouble was his last dirt race at SA which was run three running lines back........away for 7 weeks but working as if he is feeling great.......good rider/trainer combo the last few months in Garcia and Jerry H
3 Savannah Sky one win and two 2nd's in 3 route endeavors at SA.....could have been 3 for 3 win if he hadn't had 2 bad trips when running 2nd.........away since April but Baltas is as good as anyone at getting a horse ready to perform well at a route fresh off of the bench
8 Sheer Pleasure better horse running a route of ground (on the dirt) and finally gets back to one.......one of his two lifetime dirt routes might get the job done....and the other would be tough to beat.....not sure what he will give today but either way he is a major player here
1 Two Taps
race 7 average clarity
3 Dreaming of Gold appreciates ample time between starts and gets it.....cut back in distance is a plus......but what I really like is his blistering 5/8th best of 89 bullet work just 6 days ago.......seems poised for best
11 John's Success post 10 and out has been horrid on the grass in routes at SA this meeting but this four-year old has tactical speed and the red-hot Bejarano remains aboard.....and if if anyone can overcome a tough post Raffy can
7 Royal Albert Hall been racing vs. much tougher and could use a confidence builder.........gets it today and a rider upgrade.....not out of this by any means
2 Excessive Kid
race 8 below average clarity
8 Seattle Serenade nobody in this affair appears capable of breaking 109 flat and this Jerry H. undefeated colt did it in his 2nd lifetime start......seems to have had a minor set back in training but his recent stout bullet 6F gate work at LA hints he's fully back
10 Texas Two Step toss out last couple of races as he caught 2 off tracks in a row (that's hard to do in S Cal).........he has trained exceptionally well since arriving in the Miller barn and has a shot to show what he's got today
12 American Pride loves SA on a fast surface.......3 for 3 in the win column.........nice stalking style........would have rated higher if he had drawn a better post ........a couple of late scratches should help his chances
7 Solid Wager
Long-shot consideration: 11 Chief Lion 2 of his last 3 6 1/2F fast rated track efforts fit decently here and his only race at 7F isn't bad.......very impressive preparatory drills......rider upgrade.......not impossible at a big price
race 9 average clarity
4 Zim N the Mailman predictable bad wide trip in his last from a nasty post in which to start from at one mile........good post today and drops in claiming......same effort/energy and the winners circle seems very doable
6 Book Thirty Four quite usual for O'Neill to work a conditioned low-level claimer 7 furlongs......hints he wants more finish from his four-year old today..........and plenty of speed signed up can flatter his late running style
8 Lucky Shoes to Win last might do the trick but what we want is his race 2 back which was at today's 1 1/16th distance......sharp improved recent 4F drill hints we might get the effort two back
9 Ladies Man

State pours millions into partnering universities with companies to fund 15 technology projects
In what could serve as a national model for states, universities, and the private sector to help bring innovative technology closer to market, one state's inspiring partnership initiative announced its decision to fund 15 technology projects based on university research.
The Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) program, an initiative of the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute (Mtech) in the A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland, has approved 15 research projects worth $4.1 million to 15 teams combining Maryland companies with state university researchers to bring technology products closer to market, announced program officials.
MIPS grants money—matched with company funds—to faculty engaged in each project to help accelerate technology and boost the economy. Commercial products benefiting from MIPS projects have generated more than $28.1 billion in revenue, added thousands of jobs to the region, and contributed to successful products such as Martek Biosciences' nutritional oils, Hughes Communications' HughesNet, MedImmune's Synagis, and Black & Decker's Bullet Speed Tip Masonry Drill Bit, says MIPS.
This is the 53rd round of MIPS grants. The program has supported research projects with more than 500 different Maryland companies since 1987.
For this round of funding, companies are contributing $2.8 million and MIPS $1.3 million to the jointly funded projects. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Environmental Protection Agency provided additional funding.
The funding is intended to partner faculty with 11 startups. Four projects, the most for a single MIPS round, include companies from the Maryland Eastern Shore. Projects range from oyster-farming technologies to developing a free online mathematics system.
"MIPS…serves as a national model of how to leverage the intellectual power of our universities to drive innovation and the economy," said MIPS Director Joseph Naft in a statement. "The program attracts Maryland's entrepreneurs, enabling them to multiply their R&D efforts by engaging world-class faculty and graduate students to do real-world research."

How much should you invest with a binary options broker? It depends on your situation and trading level, find out what you should know to make an informed decision. If you wish to make profits with trading binary options you have to know how much to deposit. There is alot of people want to succeed in making money online especially from trading but the reality is, that there are only few of them to make it. Few of these have the mindset in right place but cannot afford to lose too much and therefore they do not even start.
How much you should deposit?
For most traders, the first deposit is the "scariest" one – but why? The answer to this question lies among all the complaints against the many binary options brokers we've witnessed. That's not all, trading itself is risky, even with a good broker. These risks are the reason why "how much should i deposit?" Has become such a popular and repeatedly asked question. We've examined this topic several times here on bots and there is still a lot to be said on the subject. For the purpose of this article let's assume you have just found a nice broker and are wondering yourself "how much is safe to deposit?"
We have different types of people with different mindsets when they apply with broker, deposit their money and start trading. I would suggest you are one of the smart ones and actually read everything that is needed about binary options which you can do here on our website. Learn who are regulated binary options brokers and deposit when you have enough money for some good money management and learn first through demo account to get used to it and feel comfortable. If we go through numbers, i would recommend minimum around 400-500$ to start with since you need to have room for mistakes, basically you need to afford to lose. This is the only way you can win and make money and grow at the same time.
How Do You View Your Account
The best thing I can recommend is to stop thinking about your account in terms of dollar value. It doesn't matter if your account is $200 or $20,0000, you should be thinking about your account in terms of percents. No matter what your balance is it is always 100% of your balance. Using this perspective risk can be quantified in a way that is easy to manage. Most successful traders will only risk losing a small percentage of their account on any one trade. This is known as money management and position sizing. The typical trader will only risk in the range of 1-5% on any trade which means that any one losing trade can only lose 1%, 2% or 3% of the total account. Now let's look back at the example above. One trader has an account worth $10,000 and one trader has an account worth $200. The trader with the smaller account is making the minimum trade of $5, or 2.5%, on each trade. The other trader, the one with the $10,000 account, is trading positions haphazardly. First one trade is $500, the next is $1,000 and then to try to recoup losses another is made for $3,000 or 30% of the accounts value. You tell me whose account is carrying more risk.
How much can you afford to lose?
Today, you can open your first binary options account with as little as 100-250$. If you lose it all, you've only lost a couple hundred. Sure, it might sound safe to make a low deposit but think about it though, you are not trading to lose money but to make money. If you can't afford to lose your investment then maybe you should focus on paying your bills first. So make sure to only deposit your extra cash – not your life savings. Binary options are no way to try and pay a bill you are behind on. Trying to win the grocery money by betting the rent is a sure way to end poorer. To find out more about what to expect if you deposit your entire paycheck with a broker, read this article: deposit minimum, come collect your $100k's in 24 years!
How to make a deposit?
I think this is pretty straightforward process but we can go through it. Just register at broker of your choice, navigate to page where you can deposit. Use your preferred payment method, select the amount for deposit and confirm the transaction. It should not be more then few minutes for money to appear in your account unless there are some rules by your broker. After that, you can ask for your bonus.
Most common payment processors you can use for depositing money to your account is credit card, moneybookers or skrill now and wire transfer, which can take up to few days to hit the account.
Does Deposit size really matter?
Perhaps you are asking yourself; "if the returns are so high, does it really matter how big my deposit is?" Well, yes it does! A small deposit doesn't leave room for many mistakes, less if your minimum investment per trade is too high. Risking only 1% of your account is safer but with a low deposit you might find it frustrating when your trades are only returning $1.85. What can be even more frustrating is of course blowing your balance because you risked too much of your total deposit on one trade. Obviously, if you just want to test the broker, you don't need to make a huge investment. Just deposit as little as possible to test them first! As soon as you are sure they are okay you can proceed with depositing a bigger sum but don't trade without a reliable and easy to use strategy. Just how much will your account size affect your trading? Will 200 dollars make you millions? Our article, binary options small deposits – does size really matters?, details some pros and cons of making a small deposit versus a large one.
Is it safe to deposit?
It is perfectly safe if you deposit your money to binary options brokers that are regulated, so i would suggest when you decided for this step to check our recommended brokers. Just be sure that you do your homework and check which ones are regulated and you will be safe since trading binary options is the same form as you would trade stocks or forex – legitimate.
Even with a good money management system you still have to ask yourself one question. Can you afford to lose $200? If you can't then depositing any amount is risky. Trading binary is not a game even though some brokers might make you think so. This is real money and trading is hard. I don't care what the ads tell you it is not likely you are going to be able to parlay a $200 minimum deposit into thousands of dollars in only a few days. You are far more likely to lose everything by following one of these scams than you are to break even much less profit. If you can't pay the rent, if you can't buy groceries or gas for you car then even a $50 deposit is too risky for you.
What Is The Minimum Deposit You Should Make
Using the minimum deposit definitely does not mean that you have lower risk. It all comes down to if you can afford the minimum and how you trade. You may not have the money, in that case even the minimum is too risky. You may have plenty of money but no discipline, another risky scenario. However, you may have the money to spare and the discipline to trade. In that case taking some risk is a good thing. You have to take risks in order to make money. The key is knowing what is a good risk and what is a bad risk. So, what is the minimum deposit you should make? What you can afford. If you can not afford to lose the money in the first place you should definitely not spend it trading binary options. You wouldn't spend your rent money going to the casino would you? If you only have $200 that you can truly use that's OK. There are brokers that can accommodate you. You just need to figure out what your money management is going to be, determine your trading rules, develop a strategy and then stick to it. It will surprise you how quickly $200 can turn into $2,000, and that $2,000 into $20,000. It will take time and dedication but it can be done.
Risk tolerance
Once you've confirmed the broker is ok and your training is completed, it's time to begin trading. One of the first things to do is assess your risk tolerance and how much you are willing to lose. Some think that risk is the size of your account but does starting with the minimum initial deposit mean you aren't taking a big risk? Well, this answer really depends on your money-management and the minimum allowed investment with the broker.
Let me demonstrate with an example:
А. Minimum deposit 1000$ – minimum investment/trade 50$
b. Minimum deposit 200$ – minimum investment/trade 20$
In the example above, which account type is taking the biggest risk? Obviously the trader with the smaller account is taking a huge risk. The 200$ account can only take 10 losses in a row (20$) before it's completely wiped out! That's a 10% risk profile. The 1000$ account on the other hand, even though the min trade is 250% bigger(!), can withstand 20 losing trades (20×50$) for a risk profile of 5%, much lower. This means that account b needs at least 2,000$ to match a's profile and withstand 20 losses. What we learn from this example is that we need to take into consideration the minimum investment amount as well as the minimum deposit before funding an account.
Risk less – earn more!
I want to make sure that you've come to the same conclusion as i on how much should you really deposit? It all comes down to two things; how much the minimum investment amount is and how much you can actually afford to lose. Trading is risky and we want leverage but with leverage comes risk. Being able to withstand many losses means you'll have a chance to learn from your many mistakes and losing trades, and trust me there will be mistakes and losing trades. You make millions very fast with only 200 dollars but with the right risk management it can be done. All you need is the right education, lots of patience and disciplined trading to reach success in this business. Remember though, that no matter how large you decide to go to test the broker with a small deposit before you make a big deposit! Sometimes being the nice guy pays off, sometimes it doesn't.

Ignition is Getting Great Reviews! Read On…
Ignition has officially been out for over a month! And it's starting to get reviewed!
Like all authors I suppose, I was riddled with doubts while working on Ignition: Would it get done? Would the book's core messages about selfless love and resilience ultimately shine through and touch readers?…
But now that reviews of the book are rolling in, I can set some of those doubts aside. As an author, I feel so excited to hear that people are experiencing the story I wrote, and I feel so honored when readers and reviewers really connect with the book.
Below, I'm recapping some of my favorite reviews of Ignition thus far:
- The Nerdy Girl Expresskept it short and sweet, saying "I don't want to really give anything away because I'm positive if you give this book a read, you will be more than pleasantly surprised at how much you will love the story."
- Book Room Reviews gave Ignition 4 stars, saying, "The themes of this book are very deep, which is unique for a young adult book."
- Evil Queen Books summarized their thoughts, saying: "Overall I think this book was great. I loved how it managed to keep my interest with the sci-fi/dystopian elements. It also managed to incorporate Native American culture into it which I found to be very interesting."
And I love seeing social media mentions. Thanks to Girl Who Reads for the shout out and picture!
As an author, I'm so excited to watch the book make bigger ripples in the world, and am thrilled that some readers are already itching for book two...which reminds me...I've got some writing to do!

After a six year run, Ole Miss has decided that their winter festival event should no longer be called, "A Grand Ole Christmas."
That's because organizer spokesperson Kaypounyers Maye, co-director of special events for the Student Activities Association (SAA), says "'Grand Ole Christmas' connoted too much Christianity on campus and so we wanted to have a more inclusive environment for the holidays this year." Video here.

Johannesburg - Do you know your koeksisters from your melktert? Do you know the difference between a pushpan and a tart tin?
If you think you have what it takes to be crowned the nation's best amateur baker then BBC Lifestyle wants to hear from you as The Great South African Bake Off returns for another fantastic series. Applications to become a contestant on the show are now open nationwide and information on how to apply can be found at www.bbcsouthafrica.com.
The application process closes on 13 June and shooting for the ten-part series will take place in Johannesburg. The programme will be produced by local production company Rapid Blue and is due to air in late 2016. The Great South African Bake Off attracted record ratings last year, positioning itself as the highest performing show on BBC Lifestyle for 2015, and was a social media sensation, trending on South African Twitter during every premiere episode. Dot Dicks, an Admin Manager from Johannesburg, was crowned winner of the first series. When asked about her experience on the show, she said: "It was a once in a lifetime experience. Going into the competition I never thought I would meet such great people, learn so much and be able to bake some of the things I did. My fellow contestants were a great bunch of amateur bakers who, under pressure managed still to encourage and help their fellow contestants and keep the humour flowing. We had many great laughs and a few tears together."
Dot also gave a few hot tips to bakers interested in applying: "I would encourage every amateur baker to enter Bake Off if they can. Even if you don't think you're good enough, you'll be amazed at what you can do with the motivation that the competition gives you. Not only was it a wonderful experience but it pushes you to try things you may not think you are capable of. My words of advice to this year's contestants would be to read your recipe, then read it again, make sure you have all your ingredients, don't forget the eggs and have fun…"

Sunday, April 2, 2006 | 7:24 a.m.
The museum at the Tropicana soon will be history.
Curator Richard Burgel, who opened the humble Las Vegas Historic Museum in July, has been given notice that he must vacate the premises before April 25.
He learned about his eviction a week ago.
"I had a meeting Friday with a Tropicana executive who showed me a kiosk they wanted me to rent," Burgel said. "Then he sat me down in his office and told me they were going to expand the slot department's tournament area - they were going to remodel and they would like me out ...
"I almost hit the floor."
A spokesman for the Tropicana was unavailable for comment.
With its propensity for building, razing and rebuilding, Las Vegas doesn't seem to put much stock in nostalgia.
"I'm devastated," the 52-year-old Burgel said.
Burgel's small corner of the Tropicana - about 2,000 square feet - contains exhibits related to the city and the state's colorful past, with emphasis on gaming, mobsters, entertainers and brothels.
A video covers the rise and fall of the Mafia in Las Vegas. There are also several large photos of such figures as Flamingo founder Bugsy Siegel and former Stardust boss Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal, the subject of the movie "Casino."
Among the entertainers featured in the museum are Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Louis Prima, Judy Garland, Wayne Newton, Elvis Presley and Liberace.
In the brothel section, there are exhibits from such bordellos as Sheri's Ranch, the Mustang Ranch, the Chicken Ranch, Mabel's, Madam Kitty's and the Green Lantern.
The space leased by Burgel for about $2,500 a month was previously the home of the Casino Legends Hall of Fame Museum.
The Hall of Fame Museum, owned and operated by Steve Cutler, opened in 1999 and was closed by the Tropicana in April 2005.
Cutler's museum focused more on the entertainers, inducting legendary performers into its hall of fame during ceremonies at the Tropicana.
Burgel, who also owns the Lost Vegas Gambling Museum and Store downtown at Neonopolis, said the Tropicana invited him to create another museum in some of the space vacated by Cutler and to present exhibits that focused more on brothels and gangsters.
"They knew I had the museum downtown so they asked me to put this one in here," he said.
However, he didn't have the kind of exhibits they wanted.
"I went out and bought the collections," Burgel said. "And I kept improving them, buying more collections - the museum is a work in progress."
He said a lot of promises were made to him.
"I was told if the place didn't get imploded, I would have a home for at least two years," Burgel said.
He was worried earlier this year when it was announced that the Tropicana had stopped taking reservations after April.
"We were holding our breath," Burgel said.
Then last month it was announced that Pinnacle Entertainment Inc. was buying Aztar Corp., owner of the Tropicana.
The takeover isn't expected to be completed until the end of the year.
And it may be as long as two years before any new construction takes place.
Burgel is mystified about his sudden eviction.
"I'm a small-business operator - this is a mom-and-pop operation," he said. "I was led to believe that they (the Tropicana) wanted the museum; people love it.
"The hotel is making money off of me because I pay rent. I invested my savings in this, and now I'm being forced to move, without any assistance."
Burgel says he hasn't had the help he was promised in the beginning.
"The Tropicana was supposed to promote us, but they didn't," he said. "We're hidden down in the basement, so if you don't know about us you won't come - we don't get any foot traffic."
He said the Tropicana gave free coupons to visit the museum.
"But that doesn't help me," he said. "I don't get the admission."
Burgel's 3,000-square-foot facility housed in Neonopolis isn't faring much better.
"Neonopolis is in a lot of turmoil right not," Burgel said. "It's in escrow. Nobody knows anything.
"There's no foot traffic here at all."
Burgel's interest in collecting memorabilia dates back to his childhood.
Born and raised in Miami, he worked as a cabana boy at the Eden Rock Hotel when he was a teenager.
"I waited on Meyer Lansky, Morris Landsburg and a lot of others," he said.
He often received casino chips from them and from his parents, who used to fly to the Bahamas to gamble.
From collecting casino chips he expanded into other memorabilia.
After selling his Xerox dealership in Los Angeles, Burgel retired and moved to Las Vegas in 1995.
"I retired to play golf," he said.
But then eBay came along.
"With the advent of eBay, collecting has never been better," Burgel said.
Burgel is determined to keep his museum going.
"I have a collection like no other that the public needs to see," he said. "You know, there's no money in it - I just love the history of Las Vegas.
"There's no place in this town where you can track the history of gaming, of the owners and operators of the casinos - the good, the bad and the ugly."

Most people in the US have very little knowledge about Hinduism and other Eastern religions which are part of the Hindu tradition : Jainism, Buddhism & Sikhism. An excerpt from Shashi Tharoor's book shares an interesting perspective :
From Shashi Tharoor (former UN Under Seceretary General) author - India: From Midnight to Millennium, pg 55-56
I grew up in a Hindu household. Our home (and my father moved a dozen times in his working life) always had a prayer room, where paintings and portraits of assorted divinities jostled for shelf and wall space with fading photographs of departed ancestors, all stained by ash scattered from the incense burned daily by my devout parents. Every morning, after his bath, my father would stand in front of the prayer room wrapped in his towel, his wet hair still uncombed, and chant his Sanskrit mantras. But he never obliged me to join him; he exemplified the Hindu idea that religion is an intensely personal matter, that prayer is between you and whatever image of your maker you choose to worship. In the Indian way, I was to find my own truth.
Like most Hindus, I think I have. I am a believer, despite a brief period of schoolboy atheism (of the kind that comes with the discovery of rationality and goes with an acknowledgment of its limitations – and with the realization that the world offers too many mysteries for which science has no answers). And I am happy to describe myself as a believing Hindu, not just because it is the faith into which I was born, but for a string of other reasons, though faith requires no reason. One is cultural: as a Hindu I belong to a faith that expresses the ancient genius of my own people. Another is, for lack of a better phrase, its intellectual "fit": I am more comfortable with the belief structures of Hinduism than I would be with those of other faiths of which I know. As a Hindu, I claim adherence to a religion without an established papacy, a religion whose rituals and customs I am free to reject, a religion that does not oblige me to demonstrate my faith by any visible sign, by subsuming my identity in any collectivity, not even by a specific day or time or frequency of worship. As a Hindu, I subscribe to a creed that is free of restrictive dogmas of holy writ, that refuses to be shackled to the limitations of a single holy book.
Above all, as a Hindu I belong to the only major religion in the world that does not claim to be the only true religion. I find it immensely congenial to be able to face my fellow human beings of other faiths without being burdened by the conviction that I am embarked upon a "true path" that they have missed. This dogma lies at the core of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism -- "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father [God], but by me" (John 14:6), says the Bible; "There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his Prophet." declares the Koran – denying unbelievers all possibility of redemption, let alone salvation or paradise. Hinduism, however, asserts that all ways of belief are equally valid, and Hindus readily venerate the saints, and the sacred objects, of other faiths.

Well in just under two weeks I turn 22, so it felt fitting for a change :) if one there is one thing I can do well it's grow hair, and I had been considering getting the chop for a while so on Wednesday I took the plunge and did it. My hairdresser is amazing and worked her magic (after assuring me it would look good and I could totally pull it off), I wasn't sure if I would love it but I did :) she made sure to shape it well which made all the difference and it feels so light now. I am *just* able to tie it up but it doesn't seem worth it, so instead I just clip up a few pieces to get it out of my face and I am able to go about my day.
This past week has been quiet on the job front, so I am feeling discouraged there but I know God has the right job waiting for me and I am praying I will find it hopefully soon. It does help to have a few fun things lined up this month, with my birthday on the 15th, then a week later The Next Step Concert and the following day seeing my best friend for dinner before the church sports competition starts.
I had my last psych appointment on Tuesday as she goes on maternity leave for a year and it feels strange to know I won't see her for a while but she assures me the college covering for her starting in January will be good (though no one can replace her!) and its only for a year.
Moving onto Five Friday Favourites:
The Flash - I am not a huge superhero fan but I am loving The Flash! I've almost finished season 2 and its a great show, the characters are all so likeable and the storylines aren't all typical saving the world stuff. My plan is to go onto Supergirl then Arrow (they are based in the same universe and you get a bit of character crossover at times) so I am looking forward to those.
The Afters Live On Forever - if you want good Christian music then check out The Afters, I have preordered their latest album (which is due to come out in less than a week) and I am loving all the available tracks so far. I have a feeling that it will be getting a lot of play time on my ipod in the coming weeks!
Smiggle letter keyrings - I am obsessed with these and have 3 (all in different patterns!), they are super cute and make it easy to find your keys. They also make great gifts and you can never have enough keyrings. They always releasing new patterns seasonally so there will be something for everyone.
Nude by Nature Natural Mineral Cover - this is my go to in terms of foundation, I just want something that provides medium cover, lasts all day and is ideally natural and this is it! I just brush it on (after I've done moisturiser) and I'm good to go. It has SPF protection and is made using natural products, you don't need much so a container will do you a while (I've barely made a dent in mine and I've been using it for 4 months). If I need extra staying power I just apply the nude by nature primer before it and I am good to go.
RUOK day - Next Thursday is RUOK day, so its a good time to ask a friend if they are ok and really listen to them. ReachOut has some great resources available if your friend brings up anything that concerns you. Mental Illness is something as a society we need to be aware about and RUOK day allows you to bring it up in conversation without the stigma surrounding it. Its just one question and three words and it could improve or even save someones life.

The Phillies and Braves get together for the second time in
two weeks, and SBR follows the series in
Wednesday's Game Three
By: Willie Bee
Kris Medlen put the Atlanta Braves in position for their sixth consecutive series win with a 3-1 performance over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Now it's up to Brandon Beachy to complete the task and help the Braves head into Thursday's off day on a winning note.
Beachy and the Braves are expected to close the series against the Phils with a dubya according to the MLB odds. Atlanta backers will have to fork over $2.30 for the privilege, a steep price since Beachy has never beaten Philadelphia. John Lannan is up next in the Phils' rotation with an 8 run total available for scoreboard bettors.
Lannan is coming off an ugly outing last Friday in Washington where he walked five, served up two homers and allowed eight runs in his five frames. It was his first start in front of his former fans in DC since leaving the Nats and joining the Phils this past winter, but Lannan has been pretty sorry in most of his road games of 2013. Philadelphia is 2-4 in his six away outings with the lefty posting a 7.53 ERA.
The Braves chased him from the mound in the fifth 10 days ago in Philly, a no-decision for Lannan who was charged with four runs (2 earned) in 4.1 IP. That went against the grain after enjoying success vs. the Braves during his career with the Nats (9-5, 3.20).
Beachy also earned a no-decision in that same Aug. 3 start against Lannan and the Phils, an eventual 5-4 Braves victory. In just his second start off the DL, he worked into the seventh and allowed three earned runs. Beachy followed that up with a strong outing last Friday vs. the Marlins to get the dubya, something he's never recorded against the Phillies. In fact, Atlanta's win in his start vs. them 10 days ago was the first time the Braves beat the Phils with Beachy on the hill. His seven previous assignments in the series all ended in an ATL defeat while he posted a 3.68 ERA.
There is a slight chance of rain in the Atlanta area, but nothing that should stop tonight's contest. Muggy and the high-70s are forecast for the start of the game, with barely a hint of a NNE breeze (in from left-center). Crew chief Gary Darling (11-14-1 O/U/P) will call the balls and strikes, and both of his previous plate assignments at Turner Field this season stayed below the total.
Beachy's history vs. Philadelphia would scare me off a -150 moneyline, much less one at -230. But I also have no faith in Lannan at this time. That leaves me thinking OVER for my free sports pick today.
My pick: Phillies-Braves Over 8 (-105) at Bet365

Tuesday's Game Two
By: Willie Bee
Maybe there is some life in the Philadelphia Phillies after all. Then again, Monday's 5-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves might have to be simply chalked up to Cole Hamels bringing his A-game while the Braves were caught looking ahead.
Atlanta will turn to Kris Medlen to even the set on Tuesday when the MLB odds are squarely in the home team's favor. Backing Medlen and the Braves will cost bettors a whopping $2.40, a steep price to pay considering Atlanta is just 12-11 with the righthander on the bump. Philadelphia counters with rookie Ethan Martin for the 7:10 clash at Turner Field, and the 8 run total is priced a bit higher on the OVER.
Hamels came within an out of his seventh career shutout in the series opener, but managed to earn just his fifth win of the season with the complete game effort. He kept Braves hitters guessing all evening with nine strikeouts, and the loss was only the 17th at home this year for Atlanta.
Martin comes off his first MLB victory as he prepares for his third big league start. A solo homer by the Cubs' Nate Schierholtz was the only run the righthander out of Georgia allowed in five innings last Thursday. The rookie did walk three for the second consecutive start, however, and control was a bit of an issue for Martin as he climbed the minor league ranks.
Medlen has won his last three assignments, one of those a 6-4 victory over Martin in Philadelphia 11 days ago. The current string of dubyas was preceded by three straight losses, and Medlen really hasn't had a true shutdown type performance since early-June when he beat the Pirates and Dodgers in back-to-back starts.
Tuesday will be his fourth try against the Phillies in 2013, and the previous three outings have seen Medlen combine for 16.1 innings while surrendering 12 earned runs. The Braves are 6-5 in his 11 home starts, Medlen pitching to a 3.23 ERA.
The start of Monday's matchup was delayed nearly two hours because of rain, and more thunderstorms are possible in Atlanta this afternoon. The chance of rain decreases to around 30% this evening when it should be in the upper-70s with a light westerly breeze (out to right).
Check out our Tuesday Morning MLB Odds & Betting Lines Report.
Will Little, in his rookie season calling MLB games, is expected to have the dish for Game 2; the OVER has prevailed six of his previous plate assignments with home favorites 6-1.
Having seen him before, the Braves should be more than ready for Martin tonight. The high side of the total is my free sports pick for Tuesday.
My pick: Phillies-Braves Over 8 (-115)
Monday's Series Opener
By: Willie Bee
Charlie Manuel and the Philadelphia Phillies know this season's a wash, but they remain a dangerous club that could play a spoiler's role for some other NL playoff hopeful. They'll certainly get their chance this week when they face two of the favorites to grab the National League pennant, beginning Monday with the Atlanta Braves.
Philadelphia closes out a 6-game road trip with three in Atlanta to start the week, sending Cole Hamels to the hill in Game 1 opposite Julio Teheran. Backing the Braves will cost bettors $1.70 in Game 1 with the MLB odds settling on 7 runs for a total after opening at the 6.5 mark.
The series is a quick rematch of the set we followed a week-&-a-half ago in Philadelphia, a broom job by the Braves who own a 6-3 advantage in the season meetings so far. The last two series get-togethers have been at Citizens Bank Park after the clubs opened the season against each other in Atlanta. Two of those three games went to the Braves and the OVER which is 4-2 the last six at Turner Field where the teams have split the last 30 tilts down the middle.
Phils Broomed In DC To Begin Road Trip
The Phillies don't have much opportunity to spoil anyone's season other than the Braves, who they face 10 more times starting with this series, plus three home games against the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend. No other team above .500 is on Philadelphia's slate the rest of the way.
Manuel's men haven't exactly shown any inclination to play the spoiler role by going 4-17 since the all-star break after being swept in Washington over the weekend. Pitching has been the biggest bugaboo as the Phillies rank last in the NL with a 4.31 ERA, the bullpen even more bothersome with an NL-worst 4.36 ERA while allowing hitters to rake at a .262 clip.
Philly hitters haven't done much to pick up the pitching staff, and injuries (age?) are to blame for some of the problems on offense. But the lineup probably took its biggest blow just before the All-Star Game when Ben Revere was lost with a busted foot. Revere was just starting to heat up at the time, and isn't expected back for another four weeks or so.
The Braves beat Hamels on Opening Day in Atlanta to begin his disastrous start to 2013 during which the Phils went 1-11 in the lefty's first 12 outings. He has been chipping away at his 4.86 ERA when May closed, but the end results haven't been much better with Philly going 5-7 in his subsequent dozen assignments, 0-4 most recently though Hamels has pitched well the last three times out (22 IP, 4 ER).
Also take a look at my coverage and free picks for the Angels & Yankees series.
Can Braves Start New Win Streak?
All win streaks have to begin with the first one, which Atlanta picked up Sunday afternoon vs. Miami. The Braves rallied from an early hole the day after seeing a 14-game string of dubyas come to an end, and enter the week with a 14.5-game lead in the NL East, 19.5 games ahead of these Phillies.
Teheran won two of the games in the previous streak, including last Tuesday's pitching duel vs. Gio Gonzalez in Washington. The Braves are 8-3 in his 11 home starts, and Teheran is facing the Phillies as a starter for the first time since his MLB debut in May 2011, a 3-0 losing effort on the road.
If there's an MVP in the nine previous games between the squads, it has to be Craig Kimbrel. And most of the time you give a closer an award, it really goes to the entire bullpen which is the case here. Kimbrel has saved four of Atlanta's wins with four scoreless innings, no walks and six K's. Braves relievers have been phenomenal, and at some point you have to expect manager Fredi Gonzalez will ease off the pedal a bit with such a big lead in the division.
Will it come in Game 1 of this set when a passing t-storm could be a factor? Probably not since Kimbrel has enjoyed four days off since earning his 36th save of the campaign. I've had some luck recently with run line plays, and that's the direction I'm going for my free sports pick Monday on the Braves.
My pick: Braves -1.5 (+135) at Bet365

Learn More about Acupuncture
Alternative medicine is also known as fringe medicine, and this is defined as the various practiced that are claimed to treat various health conditions and have the healing effects of medicine. However they are disproven, impossible to prove, can be harmful to the life of the patients, and unproven in the medical world. The people who have undergone such medical procedures claim that they have been healed or the condition of their health improved.
