Google has removed the option to switch between Adobe Flash and the HMTL5 Video Player on YouTube for Chrome users.
You have two core options when it comes to playing videos on YouTube. You can use Adobe's Flash Player for that or YouTube's HTML5 video player.
Flash was the format of choice up until now regardless of browser used and the only exception to that was if Flash was not available or enabled on YouTube. If that is the case, YouTube tries to switch to the HTML5 player automatically which may or may not work depending on the browser's support for HTML5 Video.
If you wanted to use HTML5 by default, you can visit the http://www.youtube.com/html5 HTML5 Video Player page to activate it. When it started, it was called HMTL5 Beta but now it is just the HTML5 Video Player which suggests that it is out of beta.
So, that page displays whether you are using the HTML5 video player or not on YouTube.
Chrome users who have visited the page recently may have noticed that they cannot switch to Adobe's Flash Player anymore as there is no option to do so, and that HTML5 is selected by default.
The page opened in Chrome displays what the browser supports and lists that "the HTML5 player is currently used when possible".
What this means is that you cannot switch to the Adobe Flash player anymore if you are using Google Chrome. If you check the page in other browsers you will notice that you still get the switching option between HTML5 and Adobe Flash.
Why is Google doing that?
The most likely explanation is that it has something to do with the company's announcement that it will kill all NNAPI-based plugins in Chrome this year. Since Flash is one of those plugins, it is only natural that it won't be supported anymore on YouTube.
The wording makes it look like as if Flash may still be used at times, but that YouTube will prefer the HTML5 player whenever possible if you are using Chrome.
Is there a way around this?
I have not tested this, but it is likely that changing the browser's user agent may display the option again on the HTML5 Video Player page on YouTube.
You can use a browser extension such as User-Agent Switcher for Chrome to test that.

I am not a Chrome user so maybe I am wrong, but the bundled Flash player of Chrome is a Pepper-based (PPAPI) plugin, isn't?
It picks up both Sören. You are right though about Chrome's own implementation of Flash.
I wish YouTube provided an easy way to toggle between Flash and HTML 5 video. I'm not sure whether HTML 5 doesn't like my video card or what (as it's a few years old now), but I get pixilation/blockiness that comes and goes with HTML 5 video, so wish there was a way to just switch to Flash instead (or fix HTML 5).
Got caught in the 'trap' as well.
I use the 'Youtube Center' extension which replace the player object with the type set in the script settings.
Its not in the Web Store, its here:
I saw this extension mentioned over the weekend:
haven't tried it.
Here is the post I read about it at http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2014/05/youtube-switches-to-html5-player-in.html
Since Google doesn't allow extension makers to make extensions that directly download videos from Youtube you can use free aTube Catcher. You can download videos in many formats and it has a lot of other functions and features.
HTML5 video is too shitty with my video card :(
I see people are leaving comments that HTML5 is not working well with their graphic card. They should try disabling GPU acceleration , updating drivers etc. Regardless I love HTML5 player because it does not use SPF and it works flawlessly for me but not the new AJAX they are using. It sucks.
On a PC it doesn't matter, but if someone is using a laptop with AMD+Intel switchable graphics often the only drivers that work are the ones provided by the laptop manufacturer. I have such unfortunate problem with my i5+6770m mix and installing anything else than the stock drivers results in BSODs at random moments or at least the drivers no longer responding.
There's a blog dedicated to providing updated versions of the drivers to those abandoned by the manufacturers – http://leshcatlabs.net/ – but there are some problems with those too.
In a way this is good thing, the sooner flash die the better.
Adobe stopped updating standalone flash on Linux at version 11.2 (which is still perfectly usable), and the only updated version past that is the one bundled with Chrome as far as I know. Now that Chrome is dropping Flash, does it mean no more Linux support from Adobe at all?
I have the same problem with Aurora 34 b2 (cannot remember exact version). Also I have problem with black screen instead youtube videos. So I downgraded to v 32 and both problems disappeared.

How Do You Get A Song Out Of Your Head? Chewing Gum Might Cure Earworms, Says Wacky New Study
I spend a large proportion of my day singing — not because I'm a diva rockstar, but because I always have at least one song stuck in my head. I'm constantly, and often unconsciously, humming a tune much to the annoyance of pretty much everyone around me. But the good news for me (and better news for my co-workers) is that a new study has been released by the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology suggesting that chewing gum is an effective way of battling "earworms."
What is an "earworm?" Well, for starters, it's not a literal worm (thank goodness). Instead, it's an incredibly gross term for songs — or more specifically, song fragments — that get stuck in your head. Earworms (ugh) tend to be around 10 seconds long, with less variant notes. It makes sense — songs with easy-to-hit notes and simple melodies are always my go-to for singing under my breath. There's also evidence that earworms take hold when we're not fully paying attention (hence why ad jingles are the worst).
This new study, however, found that chewing gum interferes with "articulatory motor programming" — the motor skills involved in speech — and thus can prevent musical memories from forming. Great! However, I still think I need to test this one for myself as I'm a naturally distrustful person.
Grab some headphones and your gum of choice, and let's battle some earworms.
1. Carly Rae Jepsen, "Call Me Maybe"
Let's start with a classic. Carly... ughhhhhhhhh why did you do this to me?!
2. Lady Gaga, "Just Dance"
Is the line "Da da doo doo"? Am I saying that right? Eh, it doesn't really matter. Chew chew chew!
3. Lou Bega, "Mambo No. 5"
I am chewing SO HARD on this one because it brings back really vivid memories of 4th grade social events.
4. Nick Jonas, "Jealous"
I realize this is pretty new to already be designated an "earworm classic," but this song is so heavily entrenched in my brain. It also goes against what I said about "less variant notes" — I cannot sing this well, I always sound like a screetchy bat, but I do not care.
5. Spice Girls, "Wannabe"
According to studies, this is the catchiest song in the world. Personally, I will be abstaining from gum chewing on this one because I love it and I think it's a work of art.

While it is possible to use modern Linux distributions without touching the command line at all, or only on rare occasions, you will usually quickly come into contact with command line arguments when you want to make a change to the operating system and need to research how it is done on the Internet.
You can run these commands right away, but if you do not really know what they will do, it is usually not a good idea to do so.
Back in the days when I had to do some research on how to do certain things on a Linux server, it was quite common that some elitist users suggested you run the rm command on your server to fix the issue you were facing.
Their reasoning was that you should not be running Linux if you did not know it, and while they were certainly right to a degree, making the point by letting users run commands on their systems that wreaked them was hardly the way to do so.
Explain Shell is a free online service that will break down command line arguments that you enter for you. If you do not know what the commands find . -type f -print0, tar xzvf archive.tar.gz or iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s ip-to-block -j DROP do, you can find out now using the service.
All you need to do is paste or type the command including all of its arguments into the form on the main website, and tap on the enter key afterwards.
The web service will look up the command, and break it down into its parts. Each element of the commend is explained on its own, and highlighted when you move the mouse cursor over it.
The source of the information is taken from manpages. While you can get the same information by displaying all arguments of a command on the command line, or by going through the manpage of a command manually, it is usually easier and faster to use Explain Shell instead.
The core reason here is that it will only display the arguments used in the command. So, instead of having to go through parameters that are not used in the command -- as manpages list them all -- you only need to go through those that are actually used.
If there is one thing to criticize, it is that the order of explanations is not necessarily the order of the command line argument. In the example above for example, the actual command (iptables) is listed in the third position and not the first as you would expect it to.
Explain Shell is a super-useful service for Linux users of all experience levels. It will quickly break down commands so that you can understand what they will do in as little time as possible.Advertisement

Thanks Martin. I'll have a bash at this after I post this #.
mv ~ /dev/null nice to see an article like this on ghacks :)
so helpful! thanks Martin.
Martin, does it again you go boy. Awesome
This looks like it would be a useful learning tool as well. Rather than just dumping a line in and executing it, you get to understand it. Do it often enough and you'll start learning the command shell.
Thanks! And also it is recognized and automatically added to the Chrome search engines and could be used direct from the omnibox with a SE keyword.
Be a pro :
$ tmux
[prefix] %
[prefix] ->
$ elinks http://www.explainshell.com
:D :D It really works !
Well, the information given by ExplainShell probably wouldn't save someone from copying and pasting

But potentially quite useful, nonetheless.

ReidenXerx posted a question in Server InstallGreetings! I need some help in running arma 3 epoch mod server on a napf map. I found out that I need a file with the coordinates of map buildings for spawn loot like this one used in altis map (if I understood correctly). altis.h I found it in the file "epoch_server_settings.pbo" in the folder "epoch_server_settings\configs\maps", there is also a file for napf, but the problem is it is almost empty. napf.h I do not know what to do.
Pretty much every Asset from Arma2OA is inside, but NO: tanks, TWS, or other gamebraking shit! Well balanced, team-based PVP made from Epoch Veterans for Epoch Veterans! A bit harder than the rest, a bit more to explore and alot more to build! Build your own Aircraft-Carrier if you want to! Welcome to DNG Epoch Napf! Server IP : 22.214.171.124 Port: 3333 Join our Forum: DNG.wtf Join our Teamspeak: ts.DNG.wtf The Best Hardware! Right now we are on a 8 Core Xeon Dell Blade, 3,8Ghz on turbo, Database is in a RAMDISK, 10Gbit Connection from UK. Powered by Redrawinternet.com - thank you guys to make this possible again! The Best Software! Pretty much every script has been tested in the last 3 years, from random Nukes over AI-sectors on Aircraftcarriers - we had them all. Besides some own coding, only the best stuff is inside now, everything is well BALANCED to get the best epoch-moments you can imagine with this stoneold game. The Focus in Development was always PERFORMANCE, so you will get the best FPS here, trust us. Even Serverside; up to 10.000 objects with no problem (we would never waste a database this much) ,expect arround 6.000 objects in a few months - - we try to never let it getting higher than this to always have a LAGFREE and performant gameplay for everyone! Expect continued work over the whole phase - balancing will be always watched and corrected if we need to. Automated DB-backups every 5 Minutes, always the last antihack and also support over teamspeak or website nearly 24 hours a day. The Best Community! We had Youtubers, streamers, coders, big-clans and lone wolfs. 3000 Players a month on the old hardware. May you remember our old name... We are about to build that up again!

Nitro: DZE_4 Vehicles (tuned ones can be bought at every trader city) can use Nitro to drive faster. (no Redbull needed) NoRadar: Armed vehicles, lets say the KA52, are rearmed to PKM only and have and overlay over the radar, so no armed radar vehicles at all. There are still radar vehicles available, there is the Pchela1T and the An2 Civ. Both unarmed ofc. +++ Expect very well made balancing, made from epoch-vets for epoch-vets, to keep you busy for 1000 hours - if you really want to!

The main goal of the Server is to bring some Survival feeling, make you work for your house, but also make you have fun and don't miss out all that cool stuff that's around. There is literally thousands of Zombies around, you have side specific features and you can use them to make life more easy for you. As Example, why not command your Dog to search a house or distract the enemies, while you flank them? Yeah, because that would be simply to OP, or would it? So I won't bring you any Pictures or Videos, I want you to pop in and see for yourself at 220.127.116.11:2302. PS: A Small Tipp for Survival: Allways burn your Bodies! ;)

HeroeZGaming posted a topic in A2 Community Serversip: 184.108.40.206:2402 query: 188.8.131.52:27116 (for launcher) [HG]Epoch[NAPF]militarized[COIN]PvP 18.104.22.168 ts: HeroeZGaming.Teamspeak3.com HeroeZ Gaming would like to invite you to our new Epoch Napf server. This is a survival militarized server. Loot has been increased only slightly. You will not find weapons laying around everywhere. There are, however, many different ways to gear up and enjoy all the server has to offer. Besides the standard loot locations, we also have random weed farms you can harvest, fishing, many different AI missions, weekly Admin run Storyline missions, Dynamic convoys, and everyone's favorite, banditry. The storyline missions are all player directed, meaning the story changes based on the outcomes of each weekly event. There are also smaller admin run events throughout the week. This complements the dozens of different AI missions that pop up. Don't take this to mean this is a strictly PvE server. This is a militarized server for a reason. PvP is more than welcome. We do have rules posted as to griefing, but we generally let the players do as players do. Light armor, medium armor, tanks, combat helicopters, and fighter jets are all here. For the new players, don't fret, AT and AA are available at the standard trader for you to attack and defend against the more well equipped players. Our player base is small at the moment, but growing, with a steady group of active regulars. Our Admin team is professional and dedicated, with at least 1 admin on nearly 24/7. Come join the fun in game and join the fun on TS as well, it's almost as fun as the gameplay.

(SOLVED) Read Mission Napf - Playing on Sauerland????
Bazerama posted a question in Server InstallHi guys, First post here. I've got my server up and running with a bunch of addons (scripts) and all this fancy loot table stuff, very happy with it! But I'm sick of Sauerland, and I couldn't seem to get the server to change the Mission it loads... When I changed all the .sqm's and used DayZ_Epoch_24.Napf it still loads in as Sauerland!!! My server_log says "19:59:42 Mission DayZ Epoch Napf read from directory." but in Arma 2 Multiplayer it says "Mission: Sauerland" at the bottom... So confused! :angry: Any help? Thanks! *FIXED* by trial and error

veneer over edgebanding.10/7
We are considering buying a glue pot edgebander. One task we would like to use it for is putting on thin solid wood edgebanding on panels prior to veneering. I assume this is common practice. Is there any reason to think that hot melt glue would be less rigid and more prone to telegraphing the banding through the face veneer than our current pva adhesive? Are there different types of hot melt for edgebanders that have better characteristics than others for this application?
I would only consider a rigid glue line for this application.
"I would only consider a rigid glue line for this application. "
Telegraphing is caused by different hygroscopic materials or grain (e.g. MDF face to edge grain joints) expanding and contracting at different rates due to changes in relative humidity. The answer is design, e.g. similar size banding and edge profile, not glue.
Hotmelt VS PVA shouldn't make a difference (if the PVA glued materials have had a chance to fully dry/equalize with the environment).
I veneer (TBII) over 3-ply banding made from the same flitch. I prime the back of the banding w/ a very thin coat of PVA (undiluted) and get an excellent bond with any hotmelt. Without primer, a high quality hotmelt (standard EVA is fine) is recommended (e.g. HPK 25 VS 21).

Femara Trumps Clomid as Ovulation Drug, Study Finds
July 11, 2014
Move over, Clomid. There's a better ovulation-inducing fertility drug for women with PCOS.
A recent study out of Penn State Division of Reproductive Endocrinology, funded by the NIH and published July 10 in the New England Journal of Medicine, has found that Femara (letrozole) may be the better choice for inducing ovulation in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Femara, commonly used to treat breast cancer, seems to have better results with fewer risks, the study suggests.
As much as 10% of women of reproductive age have PCOS, and it is the leading cause of female infertility in the United States. PCOS is characterized by anovulation due to hormone imbalances as it largely affects the endocrine system. Women with PCOS may or may not be overweight, and may or may not have cysts on their ovaries.
Participants in the Penn State study were 750 women with PCOS. Half of the participants were prescribed Clomid; the other half Femara. Treatments were administered over the course of five cycles, and dosages were increased each cycle. Those assigned to the Femara test group had a higher rate of ovulation than the Clomid control group: 62% successful ovulation with Femara versus 48% with Clomid. There were a greater number of successful pregnancies after completion of five cycles in the Femara group (28% compared to 19%), and fewer twin pregnancies (3% occurrence of twin pregnancies in the Femara group versus 7% in the Clomid group).
For years, Clomid has been used as a first line fertility treatment for women with ovulation disorders. Both Clomid and Femara block estrogen receptors at the brain, signaling increased production of the hormone within the ovaries. However, Femara's increased efficacy and lower risk of multiples may make it a preferred choice amongst fertility doctors. "We found a simple and comparatively safe and vastly more effective treatment for [polycystic ovary syndrome]," said principal investigator Richard Legro, M.D., F.A.C.O.G, Reproductive Endocrinologist at Penn State Hershey Obstetrics and Gynecology.
The cost of Femara is similar to Clomid (about $50 per cycle), making it both cost and health effective for fertility patients with the ovulation disorder.

While it is true that a timeshare contract is a binding legal document, it is often mistakenly thought that such a contract cannot only be cancelled. In fact, most timeshare companies maintain that their contracts are non – cancellable. This misconception is perpetuated by timeshare companies and user groups that are funded, maintained and controlled by the timeshare industry.
The FHA 203k loan program provides home buyers the opportunity to buy and fix up a property, without exhausting their personal savings.
Lee Wardlow has joined BOK Financial Mortgage to lead the company's loan-servicing business.
In his new role, Wardlow will lead all mortgage-servicing functions including servicing, non-performing servicing, servicing administration, and cash and investor accounting. He will be based in Dallas.

"Lee has a strong history of leading multiple servicing streams like ours while ensuring quality for clients is met," BOK Financial Mortgage President Glenn Brunker said.

Primary school meals
For just £2.50 per day, primary pupils receive a two course main meal to include a vegetarian option and a dessert. Fresh Fruit and drinking water is also readily available in all schools. Our menu cycles run on a 3 week rotational basis which are changed twice a year in May and October to allow for seasonal variances.
School meals must be paid in advance, payment can be made on a weekly, fortnightly or termly basis either by cheque (payable to Carmarthenshire County Council) or by cash. Over the next two years we will be introducing online payments for school meals using ParentPay. If your school is using ParentPay you will receive a letter explaining how to activate your account. If you are a low income household you may be eligible for free school meals.
All of our menus comply with Healthy Eating in Schools (Nutritional Standards and Requirements) (Wales) Regulations 2013 which became legislative in September 2013. These food regulations are designed to reduce the amount of fat, sugar and salt served in school food. By carefully sourcing reduced fat and/or salt ingredients and adopting good practices such as oven baking and steaming, we can continue to provide pupils with traditional favourite dishes such as traditional roast dinners, Homemade Curry and Rice and a variety of Pasta dishes and desserts to include Homemade Sponge and Custard and Rice Pudding.

Back to 1942 2012 is a very nice movie.In 1942, Henan Province was devastated by the most tragic famine in modern Chinese history, resulting in the deaths of at least three million men, women and children. Although the primary cause of the famine was a severe drought, it was exacerbated by locusts, windstorms, earthquakes, epidemic disease and the corruption of the ruling Kuomintang government.A deadly drought in 1942 takes its toll on central China's Henan province during the war against Japan.When Madvig tells gangster Nick Varna (Joseph Calleia) that he is cleaning up the city and that Varna will no longer receive protection from the police, Beaumont grows even more concerned. Complicating matters further, Henry's ne'er-do-well son, Taylor (Richard Denning), owes Varna for gambling debts, while Madvig's young sister, Opal (Bonita Granville), is in love with Taylor. When Madvig finds out, Opal fears what he will do to her boyfriend.Beaumont later finds Taylor's lifeless body.

Exodus 10-12, Psalm 20
It's so easy when we go to church to use terms that we don't really understand. They become so commonly used that to ask why, almost makes one feel ignorant asking. Growing up I always heard the term Lamb of God used in responsorials, in songs, etc. but truthfully never understood why the term was used, though I knew it referred to Jesus. It is said that the New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed, while the Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed. Without going through the Passover Celebration and understanding the Levitical sacrificial system, much of what transpires in the life of our Lord and Savior doesn't make sense. Mitch Glaser of Chosen People Ministries has been at CCOB before to show how Jesus is the complete fulfillment of the Passover celebration.
It says in Exodus 12:3,5-6, "On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household…Your lamb shall be without blemish…Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month." It was on the tenth of Nissan that Jesus entered Jerusalem as Messiah on the Palm Sunday Road. For the next four days the Pharisees, Sadducees, and His enemies tried to challenge Him both theologically and ethically, but He was found without blemish. He was indeed flawless. When brought on trial they could find no fault in Him other than His claim to be God, and for this He was crucified. They, not recognizing who He was, accused Him of blasphemy. Even Pontius Pilate in Luke 23:4 could find no fault in Him. Peter referring to what our redemption is based on in 1 Peter 1:19, said, "but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot." Realize a blemish was an acquired defect, while a spot is an inherited defect. Jesus was free of both, our perfect Lamb. In Exodus 12:7, after the lamb was sacrificed, we read, "And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat." We read the reason for this in 12:13, "Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt." Likewise it is only by our applying the blood of Jesus to our own lives personally that we pass from death to life. Since God is 100% just, every sin must be accounted for and no amount of good works could redeem us. When we come before God in judgment it is only by being covered by the blood of Christ that we are declared not guilty. Many don't realize that the Last Supper was actually the Passover Seder. There are four cups of blessing shared at each Passover meal. Jesus said in Luke 22:20, "Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you." When Jesus introduced us to Communion, He specifically used the 3rd cup of the celebration. This cup is known as the cup of redemption. Part of the Passover celebration involves the Afikoman. This is a Greek word. the only one introduced in to the Hebrew celebration of Passover. and Jewish experts can't fully explain why this custom was inserted. In it there are three pieces of Matzoh placed in a linen pouch, the middle one is broken. This middle piece is then hid and the children are asked to find it, the one that does receives a prize. Realize that Jesus, the middle One in the Trinity, was broken, wrapped in linen in the grave, and discovered and arose in celebration. The word Afikoman in Greek means: "I came", or "the coming one", or "He who has come". These are just a few of the parallels between Passover and the fulfillment in Jesus.
We read in 2 Corinthians 5:21, "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Our hope, our future rests securely on Him, our Passover Lamb. A beautiful picture of this is presented for us in Revelation 5:2-6, "Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?" And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or look at it. So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals." And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of th four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb…". It is because of Jesus, and Jesus alone, by His sacrifice, that we can confidently go through life secure of our salvation. May all praise and glory be directed towards our Lamb.

Recently returned from our Maine vacation with some photos, and as many of you know, Acadia National Park, specifically, is one of my favorite places on earth. A mélange of Maine images I call it. I've always loved the word mélange – its meaning and especially its sound. Although it's kind of a pretentious word, I think it fits pretty well here. Comes from the Old French meaning "to mix." And the connotation is a "mixture of disparate components," according to Wikipedia. My Maine collection of images is a bit of a jumble, a mixed bag if you will.
The first image above, Northeast Harbor Bows, is a good example. With its muted, fog shrouded subject of working boats, it is not the usual eye-popping exhibition of Fall colors in Maine – though I have to say this year the leaves did put on one of the best shows we've seen in our thirty plus years of visiting. If there is a central theme to this image collection though, it might be oldness, or timelessness, or at least constancy. These crafts appeared well worn, long serving and stalwart.
The rest of the collection can be seen by clicking the link below. There are a few shots of Maine's glorious October color. Another of the special late afternoon light in Southwest Harbor near the wonderfully restored old farmhouse where we stayed (see the shot of the weather worn shingles and porch planter). Those Mason Jar lights with water worn sea glass surprised us as the kitchen chandelier. And of course there's an ageless mountain view, and a waves-on-craggy coast capture that's persisted for millennia. Maybe my favorite image is Mélange, a close-up, depicting Nature's autumn stage of sure and steady recycling. All timeless, all Maine, all peaceful and reassuring.

Matched Betting Goals For 2019
cfleask replied to Tom Portlock's topic in GeneralTo keep my Bet365 account And to ship the Android version of my MB Calculators app...
My uncle's a Bolton fan - went with him a few seasons ago when we won 7-1 Apparently Parky is high up on our managerial shortlist at the moment, looks like he's been solid if unspectacular at BWFC so will see what happens (that's if he'd even want to come here)... Good luck for the rest of the season.
I'm a student of Philosophy, Politics and Economics at university - though won't be for much longer, so really need to find a job... In my spare time, I cofounded an app development business, and have helped to build the TP Calculator app, as well as creating my own matched betting app. We have a varied app portfolio, including a font management app which has been downloaded 100k+ times, and a slang sticker pack! At weekends I'll go along to support Reading FC - but why I put myself through that, I don't know...
Top Tips - "My top tip for a beginner is..."
cfleask replied to Chris Harvey's topic in Learning Matched BettingMy top tip for a beginner is skip straight to using Smarkets (or as soon as you can after learning the basics) - the UI is really not much different to Betfair, and the 2% or even 0% commission is much better in the long run!

The Hallgrímskirkja is a stunning Lutheran church in Reykjavík. The most striking feature being the "wings" that step upwards towards the steeple. They are reminiscent of the kryptonite crystals in Superman movies but are actually based on a geologic feature called columnar basalts which are common in Iceland. I don't have a photo of them... yet but that's on the list. in the meantime you'll get the idea from this tumblr blog of columnar basalt photos.
There are some great views from the steeple. Just be prepared for some VERY loud chimes.

The Wish Granter by C. J. Redwine
The world has turned upside down for Thad and Ari Glavan, the bastard twins of Súndraille's king. Their mother was murdered. The royal family died mysteriously. And now Thad sits on the throne of a kingdom whose streets are suddenly overrun with violence he can't stop.
Growing up ignored by the nobility, Ari never wanted to be a proper princess. And when Thad suddenly starts training Ari to take his place, she realizes that her brother's ascension to the throne wasn't fate. It was the work of a Wish Granter named Alistair Teague who tricked Thad into wishing away both the safety of his people and his soul in exchange for the crown.
So Ari recruits the help of Thad's enigmatic new weapons master, Sebastian Vaughn, to teach her how to fight Teague. With secret ties to Teague's criminal empire, Sebastian might just hold the key to discovering Alistair's weaknesses, saving Ari's brother—and herself.
But Teague is ruthless and more than ready to destroy anyone who dares stand in his way—and now he has his sights set on the princess. And if Ari can't outwit him, she'll lose Sebastian, her brother…and her soul.

Book Review
THE WISH GRANTER is a young adult fantasy set in the same world as The Shadow Queen and is the second book in the Ravenspire series. This time the story takes inspiration from the fairytale Rumpelstiltskin. Be careful what you wish for is, of course, the main motif, and in C. J. Redwine's capable hands, readers have an entertaining read with plenty of danger-filled moments, surprise twists, romance and an evil villain to dislike.
When Ari discovers her twin brother was tricked into trading his soul for a wish granted by Alistair Teague, aka The Wish Granter, in exchange for their safety and the crown, she takes matters into her own hands. Determined to outsmart Teague, she joins forces with the new weapons master in order to bring the Wish Granter down and save her brother along with the kingdom.
I knew, after reading and loving The Shadow Queen, that I needed to continue on with this series and I'm so glad I did.
This is my second read by Redwine and I'm discovering that besides writing great protagonists for her books she writes villains you love to despise, just as well. There is just something awesome about a smart and capable heroine taking on a dastardly villain to make you cheer for them. Especially when it's a villain that just makes you want to throw the book at them, and this is the case with THE WISH GRANTER.
Ari Glavan never wanted to be a princess and this is what makes her such a wonderful heroine. Sassy, independent, and resourceful with a heart filled with kindness—Ari is immediately likable. When she suddenly finds herself a royal sister and princess, she doesn't plan on changing herself for anyone, but, when her brother's life is threatened—she'll do whatever it takes to save him, even if that means taking his place.
THE WISH GRANTER also weaves in a touch of romance. Sebastian, the weapons master, is a sympathetic hero with a dark past, one who makes the romance just that much sweeter to read about. With secret ties to Teague's criminal empire, he may be the only hope for Ari to discover Alistair Teague's weakness. Tender and scarred, he's a quiet but fierce hero.
In the End
THE WISH GRANTER is filled with twists and danger, a malicious villain who truly terrifies, and heroine who is just defiant enough to try and bring him down.Entertaining, and perfect for fans old and new, once again Redwine pens another great read in the Ravenspire series. I can't wait to grab up The Traitor Prince, the latest book in these fairytale inspired stories.

Let's Transform the Energy Sector
**Editor's note: views expressed here are those of the author, and not of ACC as an organization.
For decades, American fossil fuel companies have benefited from a tax code that caters to their needs. Unfortunately, the United States Government supplies $4.9 billion in annual subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. It's time for this to change. The presence of fossil fuel subsidies serves as an indictment on the ineffectiveness of American energy policy and by eliminating them, an array of economic and environmental benefits will emerge.
Subsidizing fossil fuel production is entirely illogical in and of itself. Instead of enabling distorted competition, the energy sector should promote a level playing field. Removing these ineffective subsidies allows each energy form to hold full accountability for the environmental costs it imposes upon society. Due to the horrific impacts caused by fossil fuels, in this market-friendly situation, clean, alternative energy forms would thrive and prevail. Wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources would become increasingly prominent, and America would move towards a more sustainable future. By slashing fossil fuel funding, American taxpayers would no longer support an industry that poses substantial environmental and public health risks. Instead, taxpayer dollars can contribute to productive ecological measures, such as maintaining our stunning national parks.
If the United States chose to eliminate non-renewable energy subsidies, the domestic and international impacts would be widespread. Domestically, this policy change increases the attractiveness of alternative energy forms, which allows the United States to be more self-sufficient in energy production. Domestic energy is in essence a national security instrument. America's substantial reliance on Middle Eastern oil is not in any way desirable, while contrarily, wind and solar power is infinitely available domestically and does not require interaction with politically unstable regions. A powerful, internal clean energy sector will create jobs and allow the United States to act as the lead innovator in this area as we move toward a greener planet. On a global scale, by being the first major country to remove fossil fuel subsidies, the United States would have the ability to pressure other nations into adopting the same policy. The US's international influence is undeniable, and if it successfully convinces other major fossil fuel using countries, such as China and India, to eliminate subsidies, the environmental impacts would be extensive. In fact, the International Energy Agency estimates that global removing of these subsidies could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by ten percent by 2050!
Former President and conservative icon Ronald Reagan pointed out that "preservation of our environment is not a partisan challenge; it's common sense." He is absolutely right, and this statement applies to fossil fuel subsidies as well. These subsidies effectively contaminate our environment and restrict growth in the burgeoning clean energy industry. All in all, let's work together to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies and allow the markets to determine the future of our energy sector.

Head to the Berlin Wall Memorial and check out the different learning stations to learn about the wall and the families separated by it. Part of the Berlin wall contains the East Side Gallery, the longest open air gallery in the world. Get a photo at Checkpoint Charlie next which was the main border crossing between East and West Germany. Next on the list is a visit to the Bebelplatz Book Burning Memorial which can be hard to miss even when standing in Bebelplatz Square.

"When I reached 200 lbs, that was it. I knew I had to lose weight. I had also begun to notice that just going up a flight of stairs was tiring! I knew just changing my diet would not be enough to achieve my goals: Lose weight and feel healthier. Sarah developed a workout program for me to use in addition to my change in diet. I have lost 50 lbs and no, it was not easy, but it has been worth the effort. I went down 5 sizes (from size 20 to size 10), and I definitely do not tire going up 1 flight of stairs. I look and feel much better than I had. Sarah has changed my workout program a couple of times as needed to continue on my path to being a healthier me!"
Sarah has inspired me to balance my life by adding strength training and nutrition coaching to my daily routine. Sarah is the quintessential professional and takes the time to understand the person. Sarah is impactful in many ways, and her smarts in physiology and research lend to a feeling of safety while I'm in her gym. Sarah provides a very challenging work out. I am seeing great results!
- Andrew Benham, Eastern University, Kinesiology
I am your typical 40-something year old professional. I want to live healthy, but sometime the pressures of life get in the way with my goal to exercise and live a healthy lifestyle. I started working with Sarah about 3 years ago, and because of her, I have been able to change my life (cliché, but true!).My regular time with Sarah helps me to stay focused. Committing to her means that I have to schedule my work out times regularly, even when life gets hectic. I see the results of the commitment. Exercising gives me more energy and helps me to sleep at night. I am grateful that I have signed up; it forces me to make exercise a priority.Sarah helps me to exceed my goals, she teaches me to use the equipment safely, and is trustworthy and professional.I thought I knew a bit about lifting weights, but I have learned better ways to lift. Watching Sarah and through her coaching, I have learned to lift safely. I particularly appreciate it, not even so much because of the injury as much as the recovery time! Lifting weights safely has helped me to build muscle without injury.Finally, I've learned that having a coach means developing a trusting relationship. I trust Sarah and am able to tell her when I've hit bumps with my motivation. She provides me with excellent coaching so that I am able to accomplish my goals.As I look back on the past three years, I am a healthier, stronger person because of Sarah. Every moment I've worked with her has come back to me three-fold.
Being a fitness instructor your students are always looking to you to be in your best shape possible. In order to do that, cross training is a necessity. Sarah used a mixture of Pilates techniques to really fine tune to what my body needed. Her background in physical therapy helped her to know what techniques would and would not work for me. Sarah herself is in phenomenal shape, so I knew what she was teaching me she was also practicing herself. She is the ultimate professional and I would recommend her, and have, to anyone who wants to look their best.
Sarah is an amazing, personable and intelligent exercise specialist. Her new fitness studio Tonicity offers the very best in expert group and one-on-one personal training. I have known and worked with Sarah since she began her professional fitness journey many years ago. As a gym owner and personal trainer she is a human dynamo, and fuses graduate level education and knowledge, with thousands of hours of hands on, real world teaching and training experience.
At 70 years of age I have frequented numerous health clubs and fitness centers for a variety of reasons to improve my health and assist me with my physical ailments. More so now due to my age and health issues that are a part of my life presently. Many years I served as a private certified home health nurse. I worked with a patient who was in a comma after suffering a severe closed head injury. In that capacity I worked closely with my patient and a team of health professionals at the Hershey Medical Center with the goal of total rehabilitation of all bodily functions. Because of our holistic approach, our patient is now living an independent and productive lifestyle. I find few (Wellness / Fitness) centers like "Tonicity Fit", that take this comprehensive approach by first looking at you the person, factoring in your complete health history to date, your goals, and scheduling and then completes a comprehensive assessment and structures your personal plan and approach based on your particulars. Then provides you with professional personal assistance with a licensed and qualified trainer through each stage of your specific custom fitness plan. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend "Tonicity Fit" to anyone looking to make meaningful and lasting health changes, improve their physical appearance and relax their stressful concerns while feeling better.
Sarah is very attentive to what your individual goals are. She wants you to be successful. She encourages and guides you in reaching your goals. All of her experience and extensive knowledge in many areas of fitness help her tailor a program that is made just for you.
Tonicity Fit is a Fantastic place to accomplish all your health and fitness needs! Sarah and her staff will set you up with a full fitness assessment to see where your current statistics are and set up a fitness action plan to get you where you want to be. All you have to do is follow it.I have known Sarah for many years and I can tell you that she is a great personal trainer, coach motivator and gym owner. We have trained together and have worked together in a personal training facility and I'm confident she and her personal training team and fitness staff will make you very happy and feel great!! Come on in and give Tonicity Fit a try, I know you won't regret it! Great gym and great trainers!

by Dr. Joseph Debé
Either your thyroid is normal or it's diseased. Right? Wrong. The level of thyroid function in the body follows a continuum. Your thyroid function may be normal, extremely low, very high, or anywhere in between. In other words, thyroid levels are not black and white; there are shades of gray. If your thyroid function is not optimal, you're probably experiencing fatigue and difficulty losing weight and you are not as healthy as you can be. It is important to understand that what matters with regard to thyroid is function - how well the thyroid hormones do their jobs - not how much hormone is measured on a blood test. Thyroid function can be optimized through natural approaches.
Low thyroid function is a very common condition, as attested to by the fact that Synthroid (synthetic thyroid hormone) is the number 4 prescribed drug. Synthroid is levothyroxine or T4. T4 is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland but it is not the most active. T4 is converted to T3 and to reverse T3 (rT3). T3 is 3 to 8 times more potent than T4 and rT3 has only 1% the potency of T4. This fact makes it easy to understand why some people with normal blood levels of T4 (including individuals on Synthroid) can display all the symptoms of low thyroid function. Stress hormones, nutrient deficiencies (especially selenium), mercury, lead, and cadmium toxicity and certain medications can impair the enzymatic conversion of T4 to T3, while producing more rT3. Other aspects of thyroid hormone metabolism can be impaired and ultimately result in low thyroid function. Inadequate thyroid stimulatory hormones from the brain and pituitary gland due to stress, very low calorie diets, inflammation and environmental toxins, can produce low thyroid function. Other facets of thyroid-related dysfunction include impaired production of hormone in the thyroid gland by iodine deficiency (which is the rule, not the exception), toxins (including chlorine, bromine and fluoride), certain medications, excessive intake of certain foods, very high doses of the nutritional supplements alpha lipoic acid and carnitine, and autoimmune reactions, which can be initiated by food intolerances and other environmental factors. Thyroid hormone transport and delivery to the cells can be altered by the drug Tamoxifen and by high levels of estrogen, including estrogen replacement medication like Premarin. (This brings up an interesting statistic. For every dollar Americans spend on medication, they spend another dollar to counter the adverse effects.) Lastly, binding of thyroid hormone to cell receptors can be impaired by toxins, certain anti-inflammatory medications, and by insufficiency of vitamin A and the fatty acids EPA and DHA. Also, acidic cellular pH impairs hormone and enzyme activity in general.
The thyroid hormone receptor is where the action is. These receptors are found on the nucleus of cells. The nucleus contains the genes. When thyroid hormone binds to nuclear receptors, it signals select genes to become active and produce certain proteins. Thyroid hormone receptors are also found on the mitochondria of cells. The mitochondria are the structures where food and oxygen are combined to produce energy and heat. Not surprisingly, suboptimal thyroid action is associated with fatigue and low body temperature. Thyroid hormone contributes to larger and more numerous mitochondria. It is important to realize that cellular energy is critical for all bodily functions. Therefore, when thyroid action is low, the physiologic consequences are widespread. When thyroid action is excessive, too much energy is produced and sweating is one of the symptoms.
Blood tests are very insensitive in picking up low thyroid states. False negative results for suboptimal thyroid function are common. One reason for this is that there is no feedback mechanism to respond to suboptimal thyroid receptor stimulation. Whereas low levels of T4 in the bloodstream will cause the pituitary to produce more TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) to make the thyroid work harder, there is no such compensation for poor receptor function.
I recommend doing a comprehensive battery of thyroid lab tests as part of a good work-up. The other equally important pieces of information to be considered are symptoms, physical examination findings, and axillary body temperature. Some of the more common findings in people with suboptimal thyroid function are fatigue (worse in the morning), weight gain/difficulty losing weight, depression, constipation, cold hands and feet, joint pain and stiffness, impaired concentration and memory, and elevated cholesterol levels. Axillary body temperature refers to measuring body temperature from the armpit as a gauge of the thyroid's influence on mitochondrial function and heat production. Normal values are 97.8 to 98.2º F. Low readings indicate some impairment of thyroid-related function - not necessarily low thyroid hormone levels.
Taking thyroid hormone medication does nothing to improve thyroid metabolism and actually causes the body to stop making its own hormone. Suboptimal thyroid function can be improved with natural approaches, including stress reduction, exercise, dietary modification, metabolic detoxification, and nutritional supplementation. Additionally, Bladderwrack is a good algae source of iodine that also chelates mercury, lead, and cadmium. Ashwagandha, sometimes referred to as Indian Ginseng, appears to increase T4 levels. Plant compounds called guggulsterones increase T4 conversion to T3.

Day 23: Big Bear Lake Zero
5.8.18. 0 miles.
Oh, it was so nice to sleep in a king size bed with amazingly plush sheets & blankets. I slept in until 7! It was glorious. I had a hard time getting up and ready. My feet still felt swollen and my body hurt and I wasn't in the mood to leave bed. I finally got out of bed around 9 and did some "normal human" things like brush & floss my teeth in front of a mirror & sink and some other hygiene things, washed my feet again & monitored my blisters, then got dressed.
I heated up my leftover Thai food for breakfast (yum) and then walked down to the hostel to pick up a package Pammy and her mom sent to me. It is so nice getting care packages, and they sent some totally awesome Trader Joe's treats that I can't wait to eat! Thanks Pammy & Geri! <3 After getting the package I sorted out what I needed to resupply. We're thinking it will take us about 6 days to get to Wrightwood.
Unfortunately, John is getting off the trail because he needs to go back to work. We thought we'd have more time with him, but the timing worked better for him to exit here. So he rented a car to get to the airport, and he was kind enough to let us borrow it for the afternoon. Score! I drove Kristie to Big 5 to pick up some things, and then we went to Von's (aka Safeway, aka my favorite grocery store in the world) and it literally felt like home! I was too excited to be there. I got my food & I also got a *Starbucks* and I was a v happy basic b. Until we got home and I realized I bought way too much food. Resupply is hard.
After our errands, we said goodbye to the boys. Everyone was hiking out this afternoon, and we don't know if we'll see them again because they're so fast! And we said goodbye to John, hoping that he'll come back during the summer sometime and hike in Northern California with us.
To make ourselves feel better, Kristie and I watched Grey's Anatomy for the rest of the evening. Dead Zone & I got takeout from a super tasty burger place & milkshakes from Ben & Jerry's, and then continued the grey's marathon.
I got to talk to my parents tonight which was great, my mom is going to send new shoes to Wrightwood since I think ones that are a little bigger will be beneficial to me since my feet seem happy to stay swollen at this time. I also iced my ankles again, and generally vegged out on the couch.
We decided we're going to leave by 11 am tomorrow- shower & do one more load of laundry before leaving. This is going to be our longest stretch out on the trail before getting to a real town, but we do have something very exciting to look forward to: the McDonald's that's basically on the PCT!
Sorry, no pictures today. Zero days are not very photogenic!
