Why does the cost of fuel keep rising?
Why does the cost of fuel keep rising?
The fluctuation in the cost of fuel is a constant headache for South African motorists, particularly in terms of how these developments can adversely affect our pockets and influence the way we live our lives. A rising petrol price means less disposable income for consumers for basic living and other services, while petrol fluctuations affect business as well, increasing operational costs and affecting the profits of businesses in the transport or logistics industry.
Here are some of the factors affecting the cost of fuel in South Africa:
The global price of crude oil
The fluctuating global price of crude oil the largest factor in determining the petrol price in South Africa. This oil is used to produce petrol and diesel, so it's price is absolutely critical in determining what price South African consumers will have to pay.
Rand depreciation
The political environment in South Africa is particularly volatile, with developments in the domestic political sphere directly influencing the strength of the rand. The consistent depreciation of the Rand against the US dollar over the last few years has resulted in higher prices at the pumps, and as oil is traded in dollars, the petrol price can rise even further when the crude oil price drops.
Fuel levies
The South African government has the legal authority to collect fuel levy from every litre of fuel that is sold. Subsequently, this levy can result in increased fuel prices, and there is always bated breath at the time of budget speeches, as motorists anxiously wait to see whether a fuel levy has been implemented.
Wholesale Margins
Fuel prices are also affected by fuel wholesalers, which consists of the seven major oil companies in the country, in addition to about 600 independent wholesalers. The South African government determines the wholesale margin, maintaining it at stable levels around 15%.
Retail margins
The nearly 5,000 service stations in South Africa also have to make a profit on the petrol they sell, and this added on cost further effects the petrol price. The country's retail profit margin is fixed by the Department of Energy, and is further constituted by the individual costs related to each service station, including labour, rental, interest, overheads and entrepreneurial compensation.
Transport and delivery costs
It costs money and petrol to ensure that fuel is delivered to petrol stations, and the costs related to transporting via road, rail, sea and pipeline have to be factored into any petrol price. The proximity of coastal destination to oil containers explains why petrol is generally cheaper by the coast compared to inland destinations.
With the petrol price so unstable, it's advisable that you follow these guidelines on how to save fuel. You may not be able to control the price of fuel, but you can control how you consume fuel!

Lamplight Chat: Sitting Down With Vivienne McMaster/
Lamplight Chats are informal little interviews, giving you a delicious glimpse into the paths of women who chased their dreams and found them. I like to think of these feature pieces as sitting at the timeworn kitchen table, chatting quietly over mugs of something lovely. A spotlight in such a gentle place would be far too harsh. Oh, but a lamplight, casting a soft glow from its iron lantern…. That seems just right. Pull up a chair and join us, won't you?
Today, I bring to you a Lamplight Chat with Vivienne McMaster, talented photographer, writer, body image activist and creative genius behind www.beyourownbeloved.com
I pictured it like this... Autumn thunder rustles gently as if marking the path for my guest to find the cabin door. A music track of Native American flutes paints an auditory backdrop of earthy browns and rich, healing greens. Welcoming Vivienne, we sit opposite each other at the old, wooden table. Rain plays down the window glass as we speak in quiet tones. Her unique beauty is striking. I smile over my coffee, taking in the way her eyes dance in the lamplight as she tells her story. In this Lamplight Chat, Vivienne shares her journey, her passion and the way she is turning her former struggle into her purpose-driven work. If you've ever wrestled with vulnerability, argued with the inner critic or wished for a way to make your mess into your message, this is especially for you.
(Jenny): On your website, you explain that the self-compassion work you do with others arose from your own struggle with a deeply negative self-image. It's been said that from our "mess" often comes our message to the world. Can you talk about how you realized that your work would involve helping others to heal from the struggle you'd been through?
(Vivienne): The evolution of this work started for me at one of the lowest points for me, when I realized that I couldn't keep going with the level of self-critique and body hate I was living in. Something needed to change.
Unexpectedly, the camera and inviting myself into the frame became the tool for that change. I really believe that it is because the camera can be one of our biggest sources of self-critique that it can also be a place of profound healing...where we can change those stories.
But my intention wasn't to teach or make it my work. I think when we're in the midst of these kinds of low points in our lives, the last thing we think of is it being something we can offer to help others (or that we'd have the expertise to). But the mess really does become the message sometimes and we realize that through the rough patch we've found a voice within ourselves that needs to be heard and will be helpful to people.
What I did know, and what motivated me to make it something beyond a personal project is that the healing I was experiencing using the camera as a tool for body-acceptance and self-compassion wasn't just something I was capable of experiencing. It was something that could help other people too. If I could help women make peace with their bodies and start to see themselves as worthy, I wanted to offer that.
It didn't happen right away though. I started teaching more artistic based self-portrait classes with a side of self-love and then over a couple years I made the shift to more overtly teach about self-compassion and share more about the healing potential of selfies.
(Jenny): Being in front of the camera can feel immensely vulnerable. What do you want our community to know about that kind of vulnerability?
(Vivienne): I think first and foremost, that the vulnerability isn't a bad thing. That it is the work of learning to see ourselves with compassion. Being able to see photos of ourselves and not have our inner critic rise up isn't something that happens instantaneously and without vulnerability. It involves our resilience, taking more pictures when our inner critic wants us to stop. It isn't about the inner critic not being there (cause it will be at first) but about showing up anyways. Letting there be outtakes, ones that don't work out and not letting that stop us. It's about showing up again and again.
As well, it's a collective vulnerability. You aren't alone in it. The work I do isn't created for people who don't feel vulnerable in front of the camera and that makes for a powerful and supportive community in the classes where we can be more compassionate to ourselves knowing this is something others are experiencing too.
(Jenny): Stepping out and making your passion your life work is also quite a vulnerable act. What did you find most helpful for dealing with the inner critic as she showed up in the beginning stages of your business?
(Vivienne): My inner critic was and still is a part of my business. I think often as folks who put our work into the world we do that thing where we 'compare our insides with someone else's outsides'. Right from the start the inner critic has shown up, especially because of the vulnerability and personal nature of my work.
I remember when I launched my very first e-course (before the days of Be Your Own Beloved). I was utterly terrified and wanted to hide it away. I didn't expect vulnerability to be a part of the process, and I think we forget that other people are going through the same thing. I don't know anyone who does work that is important to them and doesn't experience that vulnerability.
A few things that have helped along the way is having a few trusted peers to go to when you're in that stage where your inner critic is showing up and ask for support. Often just saying it aloud to someone else and having them mirror back that it's going to be okay or getting supportive feedback on the work I'm doing helps calm that critic.
As well, I've learned over the 5 years I've been doing this work that the inner critic is just going to be a part of it. If it isn't rising up, it's actually a sign that I haven't got vulnerable enough yet, that I'm missing something. I've learned that when it's there, and in fact is fiercer than ever, it's a sign that I'm onto something.
(Jenny): What is a typical day in the life for you, at this stage in your business and life?
(Vivienne): It took me a long time to let go of trying to make my workday look like what I thought a creative entrepreneurs should be and let it be what works for me and my work. What does work for me is to spend each morning working on computer-based work: writing e-course or e-book curriculum, creating sales pages, answering emails, commenting on class photos...whatever needs to be done that day. It's the time I feel most alert and engaged and when it works best for me to do writing based work.
Then in the afternoon I often take out my camera for a photo walk both as a break from the computer and also because this is what is at the heart of my work. This time is less about crossing things off the list and more about cultivating creative space. This is the time when I practice what I preach in my work and show up in front of the camera, take a photo in response to the prompt of the day if Be Your Own Beloved is in session, and where new ideas and realizations happen. I always shoot a couple dozen photos too, but they evolve out of what I'm finding or pondering in the moment, not posed or planned photos. This means that I always have new photos to work with, which is important for my business. Also, the danger with doing the creative work you love as business is that it won't be something you love anymore, right? This time keeps me connected to the love I have for what I do and why I do it...and that is pivotal for me.
In the later afternoon I usually process photos, do design or website work or whatever I'm feeling excited by from the morning work, but usually less writing based and more creative or visual.
(Jenny): You do such beautiful work and you've developed a wonderful community. If the you of this moment could say something to the you that began this entrepreneurial journey, what would you want her to know?
(Vivienne): Thanks so much! I'm so grateful for how this whole entrepreneurial journey has unfolded, albeit unexpected and imperfect in so many ways. If I could whisper back into the ear of Vivienne from the beginning that there are no mistakes, as there truly aren't.
Everything that has happened over these years whether it was successful and lots of people said YES to it or things that felt like they weren't as well received...are an opportunity to gather information. The low points along this path, classes that didn't get as many participants as I'd hoped or events I went to where I felt deeply alone, were all experience that I got clarity from. The failures are as vital to this path as the successes (and lead to them in fact). When I finally did realize this a few years into the business, it made all the difference because when you see it as an opportunity to learn it helps us shift it from being something that we take personally and take on shame about.
I'd also love to whisper into the Vivienne of that time that she's amazing and brave and that I love her...she was freshly on the other side of that rough patch and stepping into her personal power again. I'm so grateful I didn't let the fear of putting myself out there win way back then. We never know how it's all going to unfold and it's worth the risk. I have a feeling the future entrepreneurial me might be looking back at the present day me and saying that same advice about some of the elements of the business I'm looking to grow right now but feeling fear around. It's just part of the process!
(Jenny): If someone is reading this and considering chasing her dream and starting her own business, is there a piece of advice you'd give her?
(Vivienne): Let go of the need to have it perfect in order to begin. Your work will evolve as you put it out there in the ways it needs to, in ways you can't theorize or plan out...you just need to experience.
Be Your Own Beloved evolved out of an earlier self-portrait class which, after teaching it for a year I realized that it wasn't aperture and shutter speed that lit me up...it was talking about self-compassion. All along there have been points where something wasn't feeling like it lit me up to teach or work on and those are signs that another direction is awaiting you. Follow those leads and your work, your message, will get clear and clearer. Had I waited until it was all 'perfect' or even until I felt totally ready, this wouldn't have happened, I'm sure of it. Start now!
One other tip I have is kind of like selfies (I can make selfies a metaphor for everything)! I really encourage people in my programs to know how they feel about their selfie before sharing it so their value isn't based only on other people's response to it (likes and comments). As much as all of us are going to feel wildly vulnerable about our business and we do need people to like it in order for us to make it a viable business, know how you feel about it first and foremost. Get clear on why you're doing it and why it's important to you and to the world. Then, those external measures of success are a benefit but at the heart of what you're doing is a belief in yourself, that you know why you're doing the work and why it's important to you and to the world. People feel that grounding energy in your work too and respond to it. If they don't, clarify who your audience is because perhaps the people you're pitching it too aren't your desired audience and others will welcome your work and sign up/purchase/say yes! Grounding yourself in why you're doing this work and what it means to you will make such a big difference in how it feels to you, the clarity you speak about it to people and also how it's received.

2-Minute Takeaway (Journal Prompt): Write about something(s) you've overcome along your journey. How can this be woven into what you offer in your business or your personal life?

Blind Dog Restaurant & Sushi Restaurant Review: Locals --- and their friends --- flock to this large, dim-lit space for the abundant array of comfort foods. Though it may suffer from inconsistent service, it's a tasty experience that involves signature sushi rolls like the Rigger (soft shell crab, cucumbers, sprouts, seven-spice aïoli and unagi sauce) and Jolly Rancher (tempura shrimp, seven spice aïoli, lemon, cucumbers, tuna, salmon, avocado and Jolly sauce). Meanwhile, there's the filling Dreamloaf with veal, pork and beef; macaroni with three cheeses; and juicy steaks. The nightly live music and extensive wine list turn dinner with the family into an energetic evening out. Linger over the double milk chocolate brownie or upside-down pineapple cake before calling it a night.

Dandy and her newly found paddock buddy, Blaze
Recently I found myself in a sticky spot with Dandy. He was progressing well under saddle, he was making great progress on the trail, but he's a sensitive horse and he still showed a lot of anxiety in several parts of the arena. I consulted with my long distance coach, Daniel Dauphin, and he confirmed that it was a leadership issue, and that I had to find a way to become "the most important thing in my horse's view". He gave me a tool to do that too. That involved some amount of pretty chaotic running around, and I'd lie if I said I never got concerned about our safety (read "scared shitless"), but I'm pleased to report that both his analysis of the situation, and his predictions of what this approach would bring, were spot on
Dandy after our second "shoulder yielding" session. Looking a wee bit tired (but not the least concerned about any "scary spot" !)
How does yielding to the leg relates to leadership and trust ? Think about it for a minute… See it now ? If your horse cares enough about your requests to ignore his fears, then you've just marked massive leadership points. And if you can achieve that enough times in a row, those fears will subside and a new level of trust will emerge.
After a bunch of running around, I let him rest facing the once "dreaded sliding door". You can see him looking at it. You can also see I'm not holding him there by force, his reins are totally lose (like in 95% of his working time). He's not looking afraid either, just observant
As soon as all the scary places are mastered for good, we'll head back to the trail again. We both love it
After school Dandy gets some socializing time with a "passive leader" type of horse, which helps with his overly dominant nature. So far so good, they don't fight anymore.

I'll admit I haven't seen the Shanghai Noon, the forerunner to Knights - but any argument that it actually matters doesn't hold any water. The references to the first film are either pure throwaways or simple enough it's no strain to understand them.
Again, it's Owen Wilson and Jackie Chan in the 1800's. The story quickly moves from China to Nevada to New York City to London, our primary setting as implied by the weak pun of the title. The justification for all this travel is the standard revenge/get-the-bad-guy plot, wherein Chon Wang (Chan) leans his father has been murdered, and a precious artifact stolen. There is some matter of intrigue to up the stakes, but it's nothing we haven't seen before. Meanwhile, Roy O'Bannon (Wilson) falls for Wang's sister, to Wang's displeasure.
The action/comedy/buddy genre is full of poor attempts at films - perfunctory plots that take a back seat to the gags, motivations that only exist in the mind of the writer, and so on. Shanghai Knights is no exception there. Yet, it comes nowhere near the last Chan-starrer I saw, the hopelessly inane The Tuxedo. Chan is always amazing with the pure inventiveness of his fighting sequences, but after a while, we do get used to the kind of inventiveness we see. If you like his style, you won't be disappointed.
The humor is decent, and there is a sense, albeit not strong, of the main characters. The others - especially the orphan boy - are such annoying caricatures all I could do was hope for them to go away somehow. And that's my general opinion of the film itself. There's worse dreck out there, but this particular dreck neither excels at its dreckness, nor stands out in any other way.

Once again, I am glad that baby has stayed in this long, and it is looking like he will make it to term. It's been kind of an emotional whirlwind wondering when he's going to come, and I'm starting to feel like I can finally relax. Although the end of pregnancy can be extremely uncomfortable, I'm so thrilled that the chances of him spending time in the NICU are slim.
I am grateful to have a Heavenly Father who loves us and listens to our prayers. Sometimes it takes a trial of sorts to bring us to our knees and remind us of where are blessings come from. I hope that even in times of good, I can remember to pray always. My greatest desire is to maintain a close relationship with my Father in Heaven; to have His spirit with me and recieve the guidance that we all need so much. I am humbled and grateful for all the blessings we have recieved from His hands. Through prayer I have been given peace.

Robombs is a free Java based Bomberman style multiplayer game that's set in a 3D environment. It's free to play and you'll usually find other players across to the net to play against.
You can choose to play on a single player game against the CPU but it's far more fun to choose someone online. There are 9 levels that see you navigate a maze surrounded by boxes. Your opponent starts on the other side of the grid and their aim is to blow away the boxes collect as many skulls and other bonuses as possible before your opponent reaches and eliminates you. The way you clear the boxes and empty them of their contents is to plant the bombs next to them but then you've got to run for it and avoid being blown up yourself.
If there's any real drawback, it's that the controls are not properly explained from the start although they are on the developer's site. You rotate your view with the mouse and you move with WASD, the cursor keys or the numerical keypad. The mouse wheel also zooms in and out. Clicking left activates a water pistol that allows you to defuse bombs and clicking right allows you to plant a bomb. The problem is that the bombs give you way too much time to escape so Robombs is not as challenging as it could be. The other slightly annoying thing is that it's written in Java so you have to wait for that to initialize before you can get going.
If you like Bomberman style games, maze challenges and lots of explosions, then you may find Robombs interesting, if only for a while.

Linux/Mac SVN Client InstructionsFor linux and mac users, the easiest way to use a software repository is from the command line. Mac OS X has svn preinstalled, and most linux distributions do as well. Follow the steps below to check out the repository files (Note: These steps assume a small degree of familiarity with unix, if you have not used the command line in the past, it would be a good idea to quickly read over a unix tutorial like this one).
First, create a new folder where you would like to save the repository using the command "mkdir." Substitute your desired path and folder name for path_to_folder and name_of_folder.
Now change your directory so that you are working in the folder you just created. Again, substitute the path and folder name you used in the last step for path_to_folder and name_of_folder.
Now check out a copy of the code you want using the "svn checkout" command. If there is a specific folder in the repository you want you can specify the path to it at the end of the repository name. A couple examples are given below.
svn checkout http://conte.bu.edu/code/
svn checkout http://conte.bu.edu/code/CommonTools/
svn checkout http://conte.bu.edu/code/CommonTools/trunk/VideoViewer.m
To check your files for updates use the "svn update" command. If you checked out the whole repository, you will have a folder named "code" inside the folder you created. The line below demonstrates how to update that folder, but any file can be updated this way. Replacing the word "code" in the command below with the full path to any versioned file will check it for updates.

Snipes was acquitted--but his co-defendants were convicted.
In other words, the jury said that Snipes was just a typical stupid celebrity, while the ringleaders of the whole scam are going to get PMITA time.

For the first time in a decade, I'm not in Miami this week for the Art Basel festivities. So far, among what I assume is a mixture of good, bad and mediocre art, I've missed torrential rains, flooding and attempted murder at the convention center. A fight escalated to a stabbing inside the Miami Beach Convention Center on Friday night. Detective Kathleen Prieto, from the Miami Beach Police Department, said a woman pulled an X-Acto knife and stabbed another woman in the arms and neck following an altercation. She said;
"The injuries are non life-threatening."
The victim was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. The alleged assailant was arrested at the scene. Both women were attending ABMB and not exhibitors. But the incident caused some confusion among those attending the show. Some people thought the stabbing was performance art while others thought the police tape cordoning an area of the convention center was part of an installation.
The incident occurred in a corridor near an art installation titled The Swamp of Sagittarius, by Miami artist Naomi Fisher. WPLG reporter Liane Morejon posted images of the victim and assailant. Morejon says she has been IDed as 24-year-old Siyuan Zhao of NYC. ABCaffiliate Channel 10 reported:
Authorities said the victim confronted Siyuan Zhao about purposely following her around the art show and bumping into her several times. Zhao then stabbed the victim in the right side of the neck and left shoulder without warning or provocation, causing several cuts.
According to the police report, when the attacker was being arrested, she said:
"I had to kill her and two more.
I had to watch her bleed."
Fitz & Co. president Sara Fitzmaurice released the following statement about the aftermath:
"At 5:20pm a visitor was assaulted by another visitor in the Nova sector of the fair. The attack was an isolated incident that was immediately secured. The suspect was apprehended by police who were at the scene within seconds of the incident. The extensive security provided by the Miami Beach Convention Center is supporting the investigation.
The victim was taken directly to the hospital and according to the Miami Beach Police Department the victim's injuries are non-life threatening. Our thoughts are with the victim.
NBC'S Channel 6 South Florida reports that Zhao is facing an attempted murder charge. Inside the convention center, security guards and event organizers worked to quickly clean up the scene, and to keep public attention focused on the art and not the stabbing.

Asparagus is the herald of spring. Its tender stalks poke up from the ground during the first warm and wet days of the season. More Kentucky producers than ever are growing asparagus. It is a member of the Lily family and its origin is traced back to Eurasia.
In Kentucky, asparagus is in season from April through May. It is a good source of vitamin A and folate. One pound of asparagus yields four, one-half cup servings. A serving contains around 22 calories, 2 grams of protein, and 4 grams of carbohydrate.
Unseasonably warm temperatures have brought about an early spring flush of legumes in our pastures. As a result, the UK Veterinary Diagnostic Lab is already examining cases of frothy bloat in beef cattle.

I am told that today, April 26th is National Pretzel Day. And, National Richter Scale Day. And, yes, also National Hug an Australian Day. My guess is that these days are set aside to help the public to remember that Pretzels exist and that Australians need hugs, too. Why do we need a special day to remember and recognize Charles F. Richter and his scale of earthquake magnitude? I think, at least here on the West Coast, we get regular reminders in the form of earthquakes.
So, do we really need another National Remembrance day? Maybe so.
It seems so rare today to see people exercising common sense that we may need to have a holiday to help us remember that it was once a foundational characteristic of Americans.
Can you imagine a pioneer family on the Oregon Trail not protecting the borders of their wagon train? It was just common sense to send scouts on ahead and to have armed members of the wagon train stationed all around the train. How about the leaders of the wagon train suggesting that the entire convoy be disarmed and just rely on the Federal Government, in the form of an Army Cavalry unit, to protect them from horse rustlers, robbers and natives? It would make no sense at all – would be counter to all common sense. If you have watched our elected government officials in action, you know what I mean.
If we do set aside a National Common Sense Day, I recommend that it be the day before Congress starts its new session. That would have National Common Sense Day typically fall on January 2nd. Why that day? I think it would be the day Members of Congress would be least likely to pass any laws that defy all common sense.

Following on our last two presentations (see below for links) we continue to look at novel applications for humanoid balancing. This year we are looking at the problem of riding a bicycle.
The robot uses inverse kinematics to calculate the positions of its arms and legs to allow it to pedal and steer. Because the hands must remain on the handlebar and the feet are in constant motion we have very minimal degrees of freedom available for balancing.

Dynamic Ladder Climbing
Published on Oct 8, 2014
Jimmy, the 2013 champion in the FIRA ladder-climbing event held in Malaysia, demonstrates his new, dynamic ladder-climbing technique.
In 2013 the ladder had fixed, evenly-spaced rungs. For the 2014 competition the rungs will be randomly-spaced 10 to 20cm apart. This means we can no longer rely entirely on static motions as we did last year. Instead Jimmy uses his on-board camera to calculate the distance to the next rung while climbing, dynamically calculating where to place his hands and feet.
The only information the robot is given in advance is the inclination of the ladder (45 degrees in this case), and the distance from the ground to each of the first two rungs. All other information is calculated as the robot climbs.
The robot uses its camera, the three-axis accelerometer in the torso, pressure sensors in the feet, and torque sensors in the hands and knees as inputs when calculating its motions. The wireframe models in the video show the robot's live position as it climbs (i.e. not a simulation, but playback of realtime data collected on the robot while climbing).

New quantum tunneling application captures electricity from Earth's heat
Comments Off on New quantum tunneling application captures electricity from Earth's heat
Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia have learned how to produce electricity from Earth's excess heat through quantum tunneling. Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon in which particles are able to tunnel through a barrier that, under the rules of classical mechanics, they are usually unable to pass through. First predicted in the early 20th century and generally accepted by mid-century, quantum tunneling plays an important applied role in devices such as the tunnel diode, quantum computing, and the scanning tunneling microscope. Its more recent application, the harvest of electricity from Earth's radiant heat, involves a specifically designed antenna that can identify this excess heat as high-frequency electromagnetic waves, then transforms the signals into a direct electrical charge. The heat produced by sunlight hitting the Earth results in a constant flow of infrared radiation that, if untapped, is essentially free energy gone to waste. It is estimated that the global output of infrared radiation may be as much as millions of gigawatts per second. Since the infrared wavelengths are so short, scientists at KAUST needed to design micro-antennas suited to catch this heat. "There is no commercial diode in the world that can operate at such high frequency," said lead researcher Atif Shamim . "That's why we turned to quantum tunneling." Related: New double-pane quantum dot solar windows generate power with better efficiency Via a tunneling device known as a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diode, electrons are able to pass through a small barrier, despite lacking the energy classically required to do so. As the electrons pass through this barrier, they are converted into an electrical direct current. The technology could be applied to solar panels , which currently only harvest a small percentage of the potential heat and light energy available for electrical power. While there is work to be done, the potential for how we gather and use energy is huge. "This is just the beginning – a proof of concept," said Shamim . "We could have millions of such devices connected to boost overall electricity generation," Via ScienceAlert Images via Depositphotos and KAUST (1)

Fish-friendly whirlpool turbine makes hydropower green again
Comments Off on Fish-friendly whirlpool turbine makes hydropower green again
A company from Belgium wants to make hydropower green again. Turbulent's whirlpool turbine can be installed in most canals or rivers , harnessing flowing water to generate power for as many as 60 homes, according to Business Insider . The device can operate at night and during the day to offer a clean, fish -friendly energy source. Turbulent's nature-inspired micro hydropower plant can deliver decentralized energy at low cost, according to the company's website. Their technology works well in rural areas, as long as there's a river nearby. The company says their turbines don't harm the environment and are easy to install. Business Insider said the system can be installed in a week. Related: Estream is the world's smallest hydro power plant The whirlpool turbine makes use of small rapids or waterfalls to harness energy. The company digs up land near the water source to install a concrete basin. A generator and impeller goes inside the basin. Then a river wall is lifted so some of the river water will pour into the basin, getting the turbine going. Business Insider said in their video, "It produces limitless free energy as long as water is flowing" – if a river froze in the winter, production would could to a screeching halt. Turbulent says the turbine possesses just a single moving part, so it can have a longer operating life and doesn't require much maintenance. A self-cleaning screen captures large debris. The company says the life of the concrete basin is 100 years, and fish won't be harmed in the turbine; a video Turbulent produced shows fish swimming freely through the basin and even the turbine. The company claims in a video that hydropower has become less sustainable over time, with high-pressure turbines and dams , and their goal is to make the energy source sustainable again. Unlike large dams, their low-pressure turbine requires a height difference of roughly five feet to function effectively. Tested in rivers throughout Belgium, the device can be scaled up to generate 15, 30, and 100 kilowatts. Earlier this year, the company celebrated the official opening "of the first microcentral Turbulent in Chile." + Turbulent Via Business Insider and Turbulent Images via Turbulent

In particular, vehicular electronic components and parts will give more challenges to automotive designers who must update on the latest information and knowledge associated with emerging vehicular gadgetry, particularly dashtop mobile devices, like Navigation, satellite radio, HD radio, mobile TV, MP3 players, video playback, and smartphone interfaces. Though not absolutely all the new vehicular devices should be designated as factory standard items, some of them might be integral to determining the future course of any specific vehicular models.
Exterior design
The stylist in charge of the design of the exterior of the proportions are developed by the vehicle, shape, and floors of the automobile. Outside design is first done by a series of digital or manual drawings. Progressively, drawings that are more descriptive are executed and approved by appropriate layers of management. Clay (industrial plasticine) and or digital models are developed from, and along with the drawings. The info from these models are then used to make a full sized mock-up of the ultimate design (body in white). With three- and five-axis CNC milling machines, the clay model is first designed in some type of computer program and then "carved" using the machine and huge amounts of clay. Even in times of high-class 3d software and exclusive models on vitality surfaces, the clay model is still the most crucial tool to judge the design of an automobile and therefore used throughout the industry.
Interior design
The stylist responsible for the look of the automobile interior evolves the proportions, shape, placement, and floors for the device panel, seats, door trim panels, headliner, pillar trims, etc. Here the emphasis is on ergonomics and the comfort of the travellers. The procedure here is the identical to with outdoor design (sketch, digital model and clay model).

Mayor's Proposed Budget cuts threaten programs of two East End community centers
The Mayor's proposed budget cuts funding by 50% to two vital community centers that serve the East End, the Neighborhood Resource Center (NRC) in Fulton and the East District Family Resource Center on Jefferson Avenue. The majority of other non-profits in the budget, however, will see cuts averaging only 8%.
For the NRC, this poses a $15,000 shortfall to its Montessori Preschool program. The Preschool provides a high quality experience for Fulton area children that parents can afford due to a sliding scale fees structure funded in part by the City.
In addition to a typical curriculum, the children learn valuable social skills and empathy for one another. NRC Montessori Preschool students graduate with language, reasoning, social, and motor skills needed to succeed. In September, the NRC Montessori Preschool sent its first graduate to kindergarten at Chimborazo Elementary School. The child scored a 96 on her PALS Reading Test. The next highest grade in the class was a 68.
Since 2005, nearly 3,000 youth and adults have used NRC resources. In addition to the preschool, the NRC offers art and academic-based after-school programs, adult education and job support services, and will soon offer nutrition, job training, and cooking classes in its whole foods kitchen/cafe. A library, Internet access, a recording studio, organic garden, and commercial kitchen support these programs.
Supporting quality preschool education is the best investment we can make. Contact council representatives and ask for fairness in funding. The NRC and the EDFRC seek the same 8% cut as other worthy non-profits.
In the 7th District, contact Betty Squire via email or at (804)646-5429.

Wow, it was a close call.
With the exhibition starting next Wednesday, I was a little bit worried about getting all the shots in. But I did. Mother Nature and Rubber Boy came through and I got the last shot last night. Now the lesser interesting parts of post-processing, selecting and printing the captures remain, but it's all good. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining: all work involves less fun parts, and photography is no exception. With some luck, down the road an assistant will be taking care of most of those duties and I'll have more time for family and shooting!
After the shoot, I went down to SoHo Gallery for the reception party of Fotografika III. I met old and new faces, and the vibe was excellent as always. Thanks again to Goldie and Celio for putting this up together, and I look forward to the next edition.
I also took the chance to (unofficially) register for SoHo's Art salad. I'll be showcasing my first iteration of my Black Swan series.
It truly was a fantastic day, here's a shot of Vanessa posing with her shot that was used for the flyer (totally warranted).

Funding will support programs for mothers from groups with lower breastfeeding rates
May 8, TORONTO – The Best Start Resource Centre, a program of Health Nexus, announced the recipients for the first round of the breastfeeding community project grants. Grants were awarded to 15 community projects to develop and implement supports to encourage and assist populations with lower breastfeeding rates.
"As long-time champions for breastfeeding we applaud the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care on their commitment to breastfeeding and ensuring strong community supports are available. The funded projects will implement key strategies to enhance breastfeeding across the province," says Barb Willet, Executive Director of Health Nexus. "We are pleased to coordinate this initiative and support organizations that will increase access to breastfeeding information and services in communities with lower breastfeeding rates."
Breastfeeding is known to positively influence healthy weights in children. Each additional month that an infant is breastfed, up to eight months of age, reduces the risk of being obese later in life by four per cent. According to the 2013 Canadian Consumer Healthy Survey, only 25 per cent of women breastfeed exclusively for six months. The current recommendation supported by the Public Health Agency of Canada and the College of Family Physicians of Canada among others, is six months of exclusive breastfeeding followed by breastfeeding for two years or longer, with the introduction of other healthy foods.
As outlined in the Best Start Resource Centre backgrounder on Populations with Lower Rates of Breastfeeding, populations with lower rates of breastfeeding include but are not limited to women who have lower socio-economic status, lower education, are single, are Aboriginal or have a poor social support network.
"The funded organizations know where and how to reach the groups of women who are more likely to experience barriers to breastfeeding. Their programs will be another important step in helping to ensure that young Ontarians get a healthy start," says Wendy McAllister, Manager of the Best Start Resource Centre at Health Nexus.
Community project grants announced in March 2014 were awarded to:
- Adolescent's Family Support Services of Niagara
- Anishnawbe Mushkiki Aboriginal Health Access Center
- Carlington Community Health Centre
- Guelph Community Health Centre
- Kitchener Downtown Community Health Centre
- La Leche League Canada
- M'Wikwedong Native Cultural Resource Centre
- Noojmowin Teg Health Centre
- North Lambton Community Health Centre
- Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit
- St. Michael's Hospital Foundation
- Trillium Health Partners Foundation
- University of Ontario Institute of Technology
- Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health
- University of Windsor

My dearest Family!
It's been a great week. The work continues to move forward. Part of being the oldest batch in the mission is that whether with other missionaries or members, you become the brunt of the joke when ever the conversation turns to Eternal Marriage. I honestly never thought I'd reach this point in my mission yet here I am. We're loving it though. Me and Elder G. are having fun and doing work in our area. We've had a lot of fun just talking to people, getting to know members and have gotten some new investigators that we are excited to work with. One night this past week our last appointment fell through and so we walked up to the first big house we saw and knocked. A young man about 25 years old answered and let us in before we really had a chance to introduce ourselves and we were able to visit with him a bit and then teach him and his friend who showed up right after the opening prayer. They were both receptive and as they have time we will be able to continue teaching them. They were the type of people that asked all the perfect questions that can be answered by the Message of the Restoration.
There are a ton of things that I am excited to tell all of you! But I just want to reiterate how much I love being a missionary! It has taken two years but I think I'm starting to figure out how to be a missionary. One of the questions that one of the young men that we taught last week was why we are here. What a great question that I will never get tired of answering. They recognized that we are from far away places speaking a language called Waray-waray. I with my family have received countless blessings from the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I want to share those blessings with them. I am here because this is the True Church of Jesus Christ and each soul is precious. As members of the Church we have so much to offer to our fellow men.
I love you all! I know the Church is true and I know that God lives. He is the reason that this work is possible. Keep the faith and may peace be the journey!

Discussion in 'UFC Discussion' started by Legendary, Nov 8, 2018.
Who wins? TJ really messed up both of them.
Have to think Cody takes it if he fights at the level he did against Cruz.
Cody has the shittest tats outside of Alan Belcher in MMA.
Cody imo, his hands are too fast
It's hard to tell, really.
Both of them got annihilated to the degree that they are no longer the same fighters.
We still haven't seen much of Cody ever since but that's what I assume.
Cruz runs that division.
Barao took two legendary asswhoopings. Cody, while he did get knocked out, suffered no where near the amount of damage that barao did.
Barao lasted more so I'll go with him.
Cody still looks good up until he gets caught. Barao was dominated start to finish.
Barao just because he was so versatile and had so many tools. Man the way he took Pickett's back still impresses me to this day
Shut the fuck up Dominick. No one asked you.
not really, Cody nearly finished TJ in the first fight and hurt him in the 2nd.
Barao did nothing but get his ass kicked in both fights vs TJ.
First fight yeah. Second fight he got completely smoked.
so we've gone from "Prime" to "Pre-fight" shitty analysis? How about pre-school Cody vs pre-school Barao?
Barao had his moments in rd 2 (in their first clash) as far as I remember.
I mean as one sided as it was, Barao just got gamed. He was in a very good condition and was willing to win, but TJ was technically on a whole other level.
Cody packs a lot of power, but he also got outclassed. by a large margin.
It'd be a close fight...by that I mean out of 10 times....5 a piece is arguable, or 6 to 4 Barao either way.
Barao's weight cuts became really hard and though his chin was good even against Dillashaw...his body just couldn't take it anymore after a comical number of clean blows to the head.
He could take shots better than Cody Garbrandt though.
by the way...that stoppage against Eddie Wineland was a disgrace!
Eddie still had time to defend but the ref didn't even try to see what he was doing.
how did he get outclassed by a large margin? the mistakes Barao needs to correct are MASSIVE compared to what Cody has to correct.
Cody just needs to play his same style, but be more patient and don't overextend himself when he hurts him.
Barao needs to revamp his entire game, from his stance, to his footwork to his head movement and defense in order to beat TJ.
like i said, Barao was willing to win but he doesn't have the tools to get to TJ, while Cody had several chances to close the show vs TJ.
But the second fight wasn't pre tj cody

Cool animation! I animate in Photoshop but it can be a little tricky since I just started animating and haven't gotten use to using Photoshop in that way yet. Do you animate in Photoshop or do you use a different program that's "easier" to operate, or is it all just practice making perfect?ReplyDeleteReplies
I actually animate in Flash and composite in After Effects :)Delete
Photoshop's animation program isn't one that I would suggest, since it makes it hard to flip back and forth to see your animation. I would use that for small animations like icons and stuff, but not something full-on. A lot of people use Toon Boom too I think, try it out :P I like Flash. Flip Book is okay too but glitchy.

How to Build Trust and Honesty with Your Teenage Daughter
- What Our Teenage Girls Deserve
This is the first in a series of suggestions for raising teenages girls. Included are all the things I wish my parents had read when I was growing up.
- Talking with your Teenage Girl without Arguing? Absolutely!
This is the second Hub in a series of suggestions when raising a teenage girl. It's a hard job but they are so worth it!
Building Trust and Honesty with your Teenager
There are many life skills that we need to teach our children before they become adults and venture out on their own. One of them is trust and honesty .
It seems as though this particular lesson needs to be revisited often and will be tested as your child enters each stage of development.
When kids are little and they try telling a lie it's usually obvious and can be confronted and corrected right on the spot. You would never want to admit it to them but a lot of times they are actually quite entertaining.
The desire to bend the truth and attempt to get away with something doesn't diminish with age. The difference between a small child lying and a teenager lying is the gravity of the potential danger.
It may be irritating and insulting when your child lies to you but when your teen lies to you, they could be putting themselves in harms way.
Pushing Boundaries
It is totally normal for all kids to push boundaries as they enter each stage of life for two reasons:
- As their brain develops they have to see if they are actually able to out smart you yet.
- Each stage is a little scary because it brings new challenges and uncertainty so kids will test you to make sure you're still paying attention.
As life changes for them they need to know that your level of commitment hasn't wavered and that you will still be there to protect them, even from themselves.
They will almost certainly fight you on this overtly but secretly, they love it and need it!
Protecting Teens From Themselves
When a teen isn't being honest it is much more serious and can potentially carry life altering consequences for them.
They don't have the life experience or maturity that is necessary to predict what will happen when they put themselves in certain situations. It is our job to protect them from those situations.
The only way to assure that your teen is trustworthy is to randomly check on them. I know many parents feel the opposite is true but that's usually because their teen has used that argument in order to guilt their parent into giving them total freedom.
Don't be manipulated into going against your instincts and don't underestimate your teen or their friends.
- Teenage Daughters and Their Friends
This is the third Hub in a series of suggestions for those who are raising teenage girls. Parenting can be the most rewarding job you've ever done!
- Teenagers: How much Freedom is too Much?
If teenagers were mature enough and responsible enough to make good choices on their own, they would be on their own. They are still considered children for a reason. There are many important lessons they still need to learn and they need your protec
- Is Your Teenager Paying Attention to You?
As our kids get older sometimes we get the feeling they aren't paying attention to us old people anymore but nothing could be farther from the truth. Our kids look to us for acceptance and affirmation just as much as they did when they were in the se
Introduce Yourself
Get to know your daughter's friends parents.
Talk to the parent or guardians that will be in charge while your teen is visiting. Make sure that they have similar boundaries and ideas as you do before you allow your daughter to go hang at their house.
This is a great idea for many reasons but the two most common are:
1. People have different priorities
People all have different ideas about raising kids and although your way seems logical to you, don't assume others see things the same way. They don't! Your daughter's friend might have a really sweet, loving mom or grandma who doesn't see a problem with letting the girls drink wine coolers as long as they don't leave the house. This is something your daughter isn't going tell you so you need to know before hand!
2. Make sure you know what's really going on
You should always verify the plans. When our kids are little we call the friends parents to make sure that it's OK if they come and play because we know that little kids sometimes invite each other over without asking first. We always arranged the "play dates". For some reason we stop doing that as they get older. I'm sure you know how smart your daughter is and that it doesn't take long for her to figure this out. It is pretty common for teenagers to say they are going to one persons house while actually going somewhere they aren't supposed to. It's happened for generations.
One Quick Call Is All It Takes
Teens may occasionally forget to tell you that there won't be an adult home when they ask to go to someone's house to hang out.
It's always a good idea to just make a quick call and make sure your daughter is actually going there and that an adult will be home.
Some parents don't call the friends parents because they fear judgement from them. You don't have to sound like an over protective freak, just an attentive parent.
Simply call and introduce yourself and say you want to make sure the girls will be supervised and ask what they have planned for the evening. Just say that you remember what it's like to be a teenager and that you want to make sure that the girls aren't going to have access to anything that would get them in trouble.
I'm positive it will be well received by the other parent! They will probably tell you how refreshing it is to have someone call because so few people do.
Don't Allow Yourself To Be Manipulated
If your daughter has a fit about you calling her friends parents, that's a huge red flag!
She might tell you that your treating her like a baby or that you don't trust her or that it's embarrassing or whatever. Stop! Your being manipulated.
Her best interest and safety is more important than her good mood. Just let her know if it's that important to her that you not call, she can stay home. Problem solved.
Reward Honesty
Let your daughter know how much you appreciate her and trust her when you learn that she is telling you the truth.
Age is just a number, responsible behavior breeds trust and freedom.
Do you know your daughters friends' families?
I agree it's so important to try to ensure that an adult on your wavelength will be present when your teen goes over to a friend's house. It may be embarrasing to make the call but, as you say, no responsible parent will mind that you make this approach - and if they do Big Red Flag!
@Keriproctor, I relate, my daughter is 4, however, being Mom to my baby sister, its not as bad as I thought, day 1. I think you become more relaxed as you settle into the role, now we on to driving she just got a permit 3 weeks ago. I'm sure you'll be a great Mom to your up and coming teen.
I'm terrified for when my daughter becomes a teenager, she's only two years old right now. I'm the type of person who thinks about everything and this is some great information. Hopefully I can teach her by example of how to act, and how to become a woman one day. I'm still trying to figure out to put her in public school, private, or home school her. This world is not how it used to be, and you cannot trust anyone now days.
Thanks for the tips, I will bear this in mind as I deal with my newly teenage sister/daughter. Voting up!
Raising teenagers can be tricky (grins) but with a lot of understanding and love and positive discipline, it can go a long way. Thanks for this helpful hub. :)
You understand what it means to be a parent roxanne. You are exactly on target when you talk about manipulation and pushing the boundaries. All teens do it.
My youngest daughter hung out with a large group from Church. Our house was the place they loved to come to just hang out. I was always happy to have them at our house and would rather they be at my house than anywhere else. My kids friend's always called me mom and I did not hesitate to turn of the t.v. if something was inappropriate or stop a conversation by lovingly saying .. uh excuse me .. what was that??? The kid would smile and change their verbiage.
We went through some tough years with a couple of our kids but our relationship stayed in tact .. even though I was tough and expected them to check in and be responsible.
Great Hub! Voted up and useful.
this is a good one too and the friends that i let my daughter go over to their houses are the ones that i of course have taken the time to know who is in the home and what they are about! if i don't know them then she can't go with them! voted up

Croom in Prince George's County, Maryland — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
The War of 1812
"We found this place (a town or a large village, capable of containing from a thousand to fifteen hundred inhabitants) completely deserted. Not an individual was to be seen in the streets, or remained in the homes...whilst in some places the very bread left in the ovens, showed that it had been evacuated in great haste, and immediately before our arrival ... the houses are not such as indicate the existence of much wealth or grandeur among the owners, being in general built of wood, and little superior to cottages, but around the villate farm-houses, a species of mansion very common in the United States. For miles in every direction, the country was in a state of high cultivation; though, instead of the maize and wheat we had hitherto seen, the fields were covered in a luxuriant and abundant crop of tobacco."

I am a wimp. A bonafide, honest to goodness, horror movie wimp.
I get scared of anything horror movie related. Name it. I even get scared from the commercials FOR horror movies (forget about actually seeing the movie itself). When The Ring came out in theatres, I think I slept with my light on for a week because I kept imagining some wacked out kid jumping out of my television and all I had seen was a twenty second trailer.
When I watch horror movies, I tentatively find the smallest corner of the couch where I can curl up into a ball and hold a pillow in front of my face - JUST IN CASE. I sit and watch the movie from behind the pillow the ENTIRE time. I'll move it a little left . . . a little right . . . and peek around it, but mainly I am holding it like a weapon, prepared to shield my eyes from what I know will keep me up at nights.
I see the way my husband looks at me and shakes his head.
"What?" I say. "I can't look. I can't look!" slightly shifting my pillow. BAD MOVE. "Oh god, is that her head?!" Pillow goes right back.
John just looks at me, shakes his head, and has another piece of popcorn. But no popcorn for me. I don't have enough hands and I don't want to get butter on the pillow.
So John, you can keep your popcorn, thank you very much. It gets stuck in my teeth anyway. Plus, its a choking hazard if I scream due to an inadvertent pillow slip.

So John, you can keep your popcorn, thank you very much. It gets stuck in my teeth anyway. Plus, its a choking hazard if I scream due to an inadvertent pillow slip.
Despite my efforts to block the movie with my pillow, (and serious neck and hand cramping from inadvertently strangling the pillow) I STILL get scared.
I can't even LISTEN sometimes, especially if something is being stabbed, slashed or axed. Just the pure sound of blade hitting skin causes me to break out in hives. I can't bear to listen to he girl shrieking as she gets chopped to pieces by Jason or Freddie using his talons to harm some unsuspecting co-ed. So I sit there, on the couch, in my corner with my eyes shut tight, the pillow balanced on my shaking knees and my fingers plugged tightly in my ears.
Please note that this ridiculous aversion to the sound of people getting hacked to pieces does not just extend to horror movies. I made it through the first three minutes of Braveheart before calling it quits. This makes mafia movies also very challenging to watch, much to the dismay of my husband who has to try and ignore his wife cowering on the couch every time some mobster got wacked on The Sopranos.
But I digress.
At night, I will not go into the basement by myself. What are you, crazy? Everybody knows the statistics - that's where AT LEAST 30 percent of all horror movie deaths occur. Nor will I chance an untimely demise in the garage. After 10 PM, that's it. I don't care if I am craving a Yuengling and the only one is in the garage frig. What am I, stupid? (You don't have to answer that).
As a mother, I know I'm going to have to start telling my two year old, Shaila, not to be scared of the dark, or the boogeyman, but that's going to sound pretty hollow to her when she realizes her mother is scared of her own shadow. You tell me, what am I going to do then?
This is really embarrassing - but I don't even like reading "Goodnight Moon" to my kid. I am the only person who probably finds this childhood classic oddly disturbing. Does nobody else think that freaky old rabbit lady in the rocking chair is scary?
Goodnight comb
Goodnight brush
Goodnight nobody
Goodnight mush . . .
Goodnight stars
Goodnight air
Goodnight noises everywhere
Goodnight nobody? A blank page with nothing on it? So what is that? A ghost? I don't even know what the heck that's supposed to mean. And goodnight noises everywhere? You mean, as in all those creepy, unexplained night noises that cause me to jump out of my skin if John is ever away on business? Those noises?
Shaila goes to bed, counting sheep in her pretty little head, while I go to sleep with visions of malevolent looking bunnies jumping me in the garage while I get a beer.
The fact that I can find even the most sacred of childhood tomes ominous leaves me to believe that the problem is not Goodnight Moon (or the freaky looking rabbit-people in it that nobody else seems to find the slightest bit off-putting).
I am REALLY just that much of a scaredy-cat.
So, in honor of Halloween, here are some of what I consider to be some of the scariest movie moments ever.
1) Poltergeist
Saw this when I was 7 with my older brother and sister and was scarred for life. Clowns that attack you from under the bed, televisions that hold portals for little girls to speak to the dead. Uggghh. I still think about the paranormal researcher whose face turned into maggots sometimes when I am eating steak.
2) Scream
Where most people will deem this movie a comedy more than a horror, I beg to differ. Seeing ET's best friend getting eviscerated by some heavy breathing, prank calling perv kept me up many a night.
3) My nanny telling me about The Strangers
Ok - I hardly even saw commercials for this one - but our nanny told me what the story was about and it freaked the living daylights out of me. For days, I was anxious anytime someone rang our doorbell, even if it was just the UPS guy. I don't know if the movie was all that scary or Kim just knows how to creep me out, but we won't make it a Blockbuster night with that one.
4) Pet Semetary
What the heck was up with that sister screaming "Rachel, Rachel!" in her creepy, weird voice? Add that to anything involving scary children being brought back from the dead and you have a recipe for me not sleeping for a large part of 1991, which is when the movie came out on VHS.
5) The Ring
I actually made it past the commercial and watched the movie (from behind a pillow of course).
Seven Days.
I slept with my light on for SEVEN DAYS.
6) The Omen.
One word. Damien.
7) Paranormal Activity.
My hairdresser told me about this today. Suffice to say, I will not see it. I will wet my pants vicariously through her, thank you very much.
8) The Shining.
The kid on his big wheel going down the hotel hallway and seeing the ghosts of the dead twin girls. (What the hell is wrong with you, Stephen King?)
9) Blair Witch
Yes - the movie made me dizzy and want to puke. It also made me cross off camping from our family "To-Do" list forever.
Sorry Shaila and Nico - I know you will be heartbroken. If it pains you that much, you can become an Eagle Scout or whatever they're called on your own time.
I won't go near a campsite, aka Wiccan playground.
I won't go near a campsite, aka Wiccan playground.
10) Jaws
Even up until I was twelve, I wouldn't swim in our pool after dark.
Our pool was above ground.
I apologize if my list does not account for movies that are REALLY scary. You can look at my wimpy list and take pity in the fact that I am a horror movie coward - that's fine by me. Scoff if you will.
And boo to you too.
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween!

Betting in sports is not actually new but it is a very old way of having fun; when you bet, you can either win a lot of money or you can loose so much cash and go bankrupt. Many people can loose so much cash when they bet really big money for a team that they are rooting for. There are also other people who can really earn a whole lot when they bet for their best team and that team wins. Let us now look at some of the things that can happen when you bet for a sports team. One thing that you can really expect when you bet for your favorite team is that you can really experience what it is to win and to loose. If your best team looses the games, you can also loose your money and if your team wins, you are also a winner. Be careful when you bet because it is never sure if you will win or loose so you should never bet all your money unless you are really sure that the team you root for will win. You can watch a team really closely and if you feel that they are a team that can actually win it all, you should try putting some money down on them and see what will happen and if they win, you win as well. If you do not know what team you should bet for, it is best if you do not bet at all. While there are a lot of people who bet with money, there are also other people who bet with other things such as their valuables. There are really many people who treat betting really seriously and there are also people who just play when they bet as if it is nothing serious but just a small thing. Betting can be hard and if you plan to bet a really big amount of money, make sure that you still have some left to live on because things can go wrong and if you have nothing left, this is really bad for you and you do not want this to happen to you. Make sure that you have some savings to live with if you loose your bet entirely.5 Key Takeaways on the Road to Dominating Resources
