The online gambling industry has certainly evolved over the years and every once and awhile a new innovation comes to light that deserves mention. The reinvention of an old game has a cultural bent that will appeal to the Chinese gambler but also anyone else that likes to explore something new.
WIN Systems is a provider of casino solutions for the global gaming industry which specializes in management systems and gaming machines for all varieties of casinos and lotteries. It has created a new electronic roulette game under its Gold Club brand, called Chinese roulette.
This new product is very different form the version everyone is familiar with in the west. The table is laid out as a figure of eight and has the same 36 numbers plus zero. The gambler can wager on the alternative set of numbers which are based on the Chinese zodiac signs which include the dragon, tiger and dog as well as others that include the elements water, wood, fire and metal.
A unique feature of Chinese roulette is the Zero 50/50 protection aspect. If a card dealt sees the ball landing on zero, players are able to recover their bets if the value is higher than an eight and it is lost if lower than eight.
CEO of Win Systems, Eric Benchimol, commented on the innovation, "Win Systems continues to drive innovation in the electronic roulette space, and Chinese roulette is the latest addition to our quality range.
"Featuring a brand-new bet table, new symbols and the regionally-tailored figure of eight layout, all players, but particularly Asian ones, will enjoy the fresh approach to the established game.
"We've boosted our Gold Club range significantly in recent weeks with the launch of Ventura and Knockout, and this latest addition will confirm our position as the leading electronic roulette supplier to global operators."

When Jurgen Klopp indicated at the start of the summer it could prove to be a pivotal one for Liverpool, he didn't quite realise just how much.
After three seasons of balancing the books, the Reds boss had envisaged some serious investment in big money signings, and yet, as August approaches, it is a much more familiar pattern that is unfolding.
Once again - ominously - Barcelona are circling for one of Anfield's finest, just as they have done so often in recent years. And once again, the manager faces a fight to persuade his star player there is an equally bright future at Anfield.
It is a hard sell at the best of times, given Barca's status as world leaders, but even harder when it is to South Americans who see the Catalan club, along with Real Madrid, as the ultimate destination.
There was no persuading Javier Mascherano, and he exited quickly, with Liverpool not making even a particularly healthy profit on the midfielder, while at least they did triple their money for Luis Suarez.
This time though, the fight to keep Philippe Coutinho has taken on even more desperate urgency, in part because those summer spending plans have not unfolded as envisaged.
Far from bringing in the five or six big signings Klopp believes he needs to cover a double Premier League/Champions' League assault, only one expensive purchase has arrived...and worse, the Reds have been forced to abandon their £70m+ pursuit of Leipzig's Naby Keita.
But now Liverpool must show the same sort of unmoving resistance as Leipzig, because if Coutinho leaves, then even the signing of Virgil van Dijk wouldn't appease the fans expecting so much more.
The Reds are remarkably relaxed about the situation so far, in part because Coutinho has just signed a new five year contract, and has show no signs of being ready to force a move...even if he naturally has interest in Barca's intentions. Yet there is also a realism around Anfield. Yes, they can turn down the £72m that was tentatively offered by the Spaniards, in part because it was not a firm bid, nor anywhere near enough at today's prices.
But if Neymar - as now seems more likely - does leave to PSG, then Barcelona could find themselves with some very angry fans demanding big name signings...and a £250m-plus war chest.
There are already reports that there is contingency planning because of a feeling that Neymar may have made up his mind to go, and some at the decision-making end of the club regarding that as not such a bad thing.
They want Coutinho to replace Andres Iniesta, and would still have more than enough funds to chase a replacement for Neymar, with Eden Hazard and Dele Alli long term and viable targets.
For Liverpool though, it is their little Brazilian who has become the unwanted story of the summer. Klopp has already spoken to the midfielder at length, and has been reassured that there will be no Suarez-style strike-threat dramas.
Yet there is still a battle for the heart of mind of the 25 year, who made some quiet but distinct noises about Barca earlier in the summer.
Klopp has spoken about statues being built of Coutinho, and has also rightly pointed to the fact that he is guaranteed to play regularly at Anfield this year, and is therefore virtually guaranteed a Brazil starting place at next year's World Cup. At the Nou Camp, there would be no such guarantee.
So far, Liverpool are winning the battle, despite the PR campaign being directed from the Nou Camp, and it seems only a truly eye-watering bid well in excess of £100m would change the current narrative.
But it is still a depressingly familiar tale for Reds fans, and particularly in a summer which was supposed to play out very differently from recent vintages.

For my birthday last year my wonderful husband bought me an Amazon Kindle. I have to say, I wasn't sure at first because of the price (yes, he bought it before the price dropped and missed the cutoff), but now, I can say that I love it and it was entirely worth it! Maybe sometime, I'll do a review of the Kindle and a comparison to some of the new readers that are out.
One thing I love about the Kindle is the option to create a reading list and store it online and on the Kindle. This allows me to go to Amazon and add things to my reading list and then see them when I am on my Kindle and vice versa. I added so many books to my wish list off recommendations from Amazon, that I was getting lost. I'm trying to pare down this list a little a add items based on personal recommendations.
I am setting a personal goal for myself of 1 book per month, so I'm hoping to add some recommendations to my list. Here's what I have so far, let me know if you have any recommendations.
Currently Reading (February):
The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks
I pretty much love every Nicholas Sparks book that I have ever read, this one slipped by me as I usually read them right when they are released. So far it's a great read.
Wish List:
Heart of the Matter by Emily Griffin
Released in May, I have loved all of her previous books. I would recommend them if you haven't read them already.
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
Recommended by Blue-Eyed Bride
Nanny Returns – Emma McLaughlin
I loved the Nanny Diaries and some of her other books, I'm hoping this one is just as good.
Twenties Girl – Sophie Kinsella
I have read all of the books in the Shop-a-holic series and loved them.
These are the top 4 on my list. I have a few others that I've seen on lists as well. I might go back to Blue-Eyed Bride's list and add a few more to my reading list that I haven't read before.
- Good Things by Mia King
- Hope in a Jar by Beth Harbison
- Firefly Lane by Kristin hannah
Here's what I've got so far:
- January – I finished one in January but the name escapes me right now, I'll update later with the info!
- February – The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks
- March – The Help by Kathryn Stockett
- April – Nanny Returns – Emma McLaughlin
- May –Twenties Girl – Sophie Kinsella
- June – Heart of the Matter by Emily Griffin

Suggestions/Recommendations encouraged! 🙂 (Oh and yes I've read Twilight and loved them!) I have a stack in my book case at home that I've read that I liked, someday I'll pull together an all inclusive list.

So if you are tired of the same old politics and the same old political parties, come along and share your ideas about how politics here can change for the better. The Platform is specifically trying to frame public discussion around how we can develop:
- a politics focused on the public interest and the common good;
- a cohesive government in which power is genuinely shared;

The Preah Sihanouk Provincial Court delayed the destruction of the homes and subsequent eviction of 14 families embroiled in a land dispute with a company owned by tycoon Kong Treav in Village 4 of Sihanoukville's Commune 4, local authorities said yesterday.
Though many of the families on the disputed land have already moved, the remaining families last month were given a November 21 deadline in a letter signed by Judge Moung Monychakrya to "remove [your houses] and leave on your own, [or] the court will make pressure pursuant to the Supreme Court's power in the case of your being obstinate, and will not take responsibility for damaged property and housing".
However, village chief Heng Bunhor said yesterday he had been told by the commune chief that the order was stayed, but he was unaware of when it will go into effect again or what the reason for the delay was.
Attempts to reach the commune chief, Judge Monychakrya and the company involved – Pacific Group Co, Ltd – were unsuccessful.
Resident Cheng Nivanna, 55, said she hired workers to build a fence around her property last year, only to have it destroyed by the company.
"I purchased the land before [Treav], but he said that those lands belong to him," she said, adding that the worker who built the fence was arrested and held for the night.
Sia Phearum, secretariat director of the NGO Housing Rights Task Force, said that 10 families had filed a complaint to his organisation, which is investigating the case.

From Wikipedia
"Chuck Berry is an influential figure and one of the pioneers of rock and roll music. According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's website, "While no individual can be said to have invented rock and roll, Chuck Berry comes the closest of any single figure to being the one who put all the essential pieces together." Cub Koda wrote, "Of all the early breakthrough rock & roll artists, none is more important to the development of the music than Chuck Berry. He is its greatest songwriter, the main shaper of its instrumental voice, one of its greatest guitarists, and one of its greatest performers." John Lennon was more succinct: "If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it 'Chuck Berry'." Berry was among the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its opening in 1986."
The man that singlehandedly shaped rock and roll, according to what I read, was also a convict, having served 3 sentences for various crimes. His first as a young man when his car broke down on the side of the road and he carjacked a passing motorist with a gun that didn't work. He was convicted of Armed Robbery and sentenced to reform school. The second was due to his invitation to a 14 year old Apache waitress he met in Mexico to come work in his club as a hatcheck girl. After she was fired she went into prostitution and was arrested. He brought her here so he was arrested under the Mann Act. Transporting women across state lines for the purpose of sex is illegal. America was up in arms over Jerry Lee Lewis' marriage to his 13 year old cousin and Chuck was a black man plus an ex-con. It took 2 trials to convict him but they managed it. His third trip to the "big house" was for income tax evasion. There also was the little matter of a video camera installed in the ladies room of a restaurant he owned called The Southern Air in Wentzville, Missouri. It's estimated that he paid 1.2 million dollars to 59 women plus legal fees.
Whatever, or whoever Charles Edward Anderson Berry really is, you have to admit he made some fine music. "Maybelline", "Memphis, Tennesee", "No Particular Place To Go", "Roll Over Beethoven", "Johnny B. Goode", "School Days", "Sweet Little Sixteen" and his only number 1 hit "My Ding-a-ling". In 2003, Rolling Stone named him number six on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
His compilation album The Great Twenty-Eight was also named 21st on the magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
In 2004 six of his songs were included in Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list, namely "Johnny B. Goode" (# 7), "Maybellene" (# 18), "Roll Over Beethoven" (# 97), "Rock and Roll Music" (#128), "Sweet Little Sixteen" (# 272) and "Brown Eyed Handsome Man" (# 374).
Also in 2004, Berry was rated #5 in Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and in 2008 his song Johnny B. Goode won first place in the 100 greatest guitar songs according to Rolling Stone Magazine
The video is a medley of the Rock and Roll Anthems of Chuck Berry. I usually don't like medleys, but this one is different as it doesn't cut the song off in any way that detracts from ones enjoyment of it.
This is where you decide for yourself whether I'm beautiful or just all wet. Don't ask me, I'm never sure myself.

The Influential Chuck Berry
Posted by Sherry at 9:46 AM
2 comments:
What I gather from this fine piece is that Mr Berry had his ups, way ups, and his downs, way downs....Still, hands down, he was everything that the article said he was with respect to a rock and roll pioneer. All the statistics there in one place were quite interesting.ReplyDelete
Probably the only person in the world who received his just rewards for both his ups and his downs, LOLReplyDelete
After prison and before music he went to cosmetology school. I can JUST imagine Chuck Berry the hairdresser.

Show your support for a 'healthy home mark'
If you agree that more should be done to help reduce the levels of pollutants in our homes and improve our health, then please sign the petition below to help us lobby for change.
European and national government policy has supported energy efficient house building over the past two decades to reduce carbon emissions and whilst this has been positive for the environment, evidence suggests it is having a negative impact on our health.
As we make our homes more airtight to improve energy efficiency, harmful chemicals and pollutants are accumulating to make the air in our homes up to 50 times more polluted than outdoor air. Studies have suggested that this has resulted in an increase in health conditions affecting occupants, such as asthma, heart disease, stroke, lung cancer and various skin conditions.
BEAMA, the UK's electro-technical industry body, is calling on UK house builders to display a 'Healthy Home' mark in all new homes to identify that the dwelling has been fitted with effective continuous mechanical ventilation, which delivers healthy indoor air quality.

[127] "You are not unacquainted, my fellow soldiers, that we have had, not long since, many accidents that have put a stop to what we are about, and it is probable that even those that are most distinguished above others for their courage can hardly keep up their spirits in such circumstances; but since we cannot avoid fighting, and nothing that hath happened is of such a nature but it may by ourselves be recovered into a good state, and this by one brave action only well performed, I have proposed to myself both to give you some encouragement, and, at the same time, some information; both which parts of my design will tend to this point; that you may still continue in your own proper fortitude. I will then, in the first place, demonstrate to you that this war is a just one on our side, and that on this account it is a war of necessity, and occasioned by the injustice of our adversaries; for if you be once satisfied of this, it will be a real cause of alacrity to you; after which I will further demonstrate, that the misfortunes we are under are of no great consequence, and that we have the greatest reason to hope for victory. I shall begin with the first, and appeal to yourselves as witnesses to what I shall say. You are not ignorant certainly of the wickedness of the Arabians, which is to that degree as to appear incredible to all other men, and to include somewhat that shows the grossest barbarity and ignorance of God. The chief things wherein they have affronted us have arisen from covetousness and envy; and they have attacked us in an insidious manner, and on the sudden. And what occasion is there for me to mention many instances of such their procedure? When they were in danger of losing their own government of themselves, and of being slaves to Cleopatra, what others were they that freed them from that fear? for it was the friendship. I had with Antony, and the kind disposition he was in towards us, that hath been the occasion that even these Arabians have not been utterly undone, Antony being unwilling to undertake any thing which might be suspected by us of unkindness: but when he had a mind to bestow some parts of each of our dominions on Cleopatra, I also managed that matter so, that by giving him presents of my own, I might obtain a security to both nations, while I undertook myself to answer for the money, and gave him two hundred talents, and became surety for those two hundred more which were imposed upon the land that was subject to this tribute; and this they have defrauded us of, although it was not reasonable that Jews should pay tribute to any man living, or allow part of their land to be taxable; but although that was to be, yet ought we not to pay tribute for these Arabians, whom we have ourselves preserved; nor is it fit that they, who have professed (and that with great integrity and sense of our kindness) that it is by our means that they keep their principality, should injure us, and deprive us of what is our due, and this while we have been still not their enemies, but their friends. And whereas observation of covenants takes place among the bitterest enemies, but among friends is absolutely necessary, this is not observed among these men, who think gain to be the best of all things, let it be by any means whatsoever, and that injustice is no harm, if they may but get money by it: is it therefore a question with you, whether the unjust are to be punished or not? when God himself hath declared his mind that so it ought to be, and hath commanded that we ever should hate injuries and injustice, which is not only just, but necessary, in wars between several nations; for these Arabians have done what both the Greeks and barbarians own to be an instance of the grossest wickedness, with regard to our ambassadors, which they have beheaded, while the Greeks declare that such ambassadors are sacred and inviolable. 1 And for ourselves, we have learned from God the most excellent of our doctrines, and the most holy part of our law, by angels or ambassadors; for this name brings God to the knowledge of mankind, and is sufficient to reconcile enemies one to another. What wickedness then can be greater than the slaughter of ambassadors, who come to treat about doing what is right? And when such have been their actions, how is it possible they can either live securely in common life, or be successful in war? In my opinion, this is impossible; but perhaps some will say, that what is holy, and what is righteous, is indeed on our side, but that the Arabians are either more courageous or more numerous than we are. Now, as to this, in the first place, it is not fit for us to say so, for with whom is what is righteous, with them is God himself; now where God is, there is both multitude and courage. But to examine our own circumstances a little, we were conquerors in the first battle; and when we fought again, they were not able to oppose us, but ran away, and could not endure our attacks or our courage; but when we had conquered them, then came Athenion, and made war against us without declaring it; and pray, is this an instance of their manhood? or is it not a second instance of their wickedness and treachery? Why are we therefore of less courage, on account of that which ought to inspire us with stronger hopes? and why are we terrified at these, who, when they fight upon the level, are continually beaten, and when they seem to be conquerors, they gain it by wickedness? and if we suppose that any one should deem them to be men of real courage, will not he be excited by that very consideration to do his utmost against them? for true valor is not shown by fighting against weak persons, but in being able to overcome the most hardy. But then if the distresses we are ourselves under, and the miseries that have come by the earthquake, hath aftrighted any one, let him consider, in the first place, that this very thing will deceive the Arabians, by their supposal that what hath befallen us is greater than it really is. Moreover, it is not right that the same thing that emboldens them should discourage us; for these men, you see, do not derive their alacrity from any advantageous virtue of their own, but from their hope, as to us, that we are quite cast down by our misfortunes; but when we boldly march against them, we shall soon pull down their insolent conceit of themselves, and shall gain this by attacking them, that they will not be so insolent when we come to the battle; for our distresses are not so great, nor is what hath happened all indication of the anger of God against us, as some imagine; for such things are accidental, and adversities that come in the usual course of things; and if we allow that this was done by the will of God, we must allow that it is now over by his will also, and that he is satisfied with what hath already happened; for had he been willing to afflict us still more thereby, he had not changed his mind so soon. And as for the war we are engaged in, he hath himself demonstrated that he is willing it should go on, and that he knows it to be a just war; for while some of the people in the country have perished, all you who were in arms have suffered nothing, but are all preserved alive; whereby God makes it plain to us, that if you had universally, with your children and wives, been in the army, it had come to pass that you had not undergone any thing that would have much hurt you. Consider these things, and, what is more than all the rest, that you have God at all times for your Protector; and prosecute these men with a just bravery, who, in point of friendship, are unjust, in their battles perfidious, towards ambassadors impious, and always inferior to you in valor."
1 Herod says here, that as ambassadors were sacred when they carried messages to others, so did the laws of the Jews derive a sacred authority by being delivered from God by angels, [or Divine ambassadors,] which is St. Paul's expression about the same laws, Galatians 3:19; Hebrews 2;2.

Stage 3 Camp
To quote Pete Cameron "apart from a bit of dodgy weather" the kids were great and had a fantastic time. Most of the really bad weather missed our campers and although they did miss out on the campfire the social interaction and new adventures certainly made up for any lost activities. Many thanks to our staff (Pete Cameron, Lynne Takacs, Tania Dorney, Tim MacDonald and Liam who accompanied the students and also Mark Rutter who held the fort back at school).
A Time of Transitions - a time of growth and change for children and parents.
Kindergarten 2015 -Tonight we will welcome parents of our 2015 Kindergarten children to an information session. This will be held in the iCentre, starting at 7:00pm, all parents are welcome.

Although you frame laws, exceptions are always there,
Although you undertake a task, hindrances are always there,
Although you are good enough, better ones are always there,
Although you've faced the past, future hopes are always there.
Be a winner and take it all,
Don't be a loser, who keeps standing small,
Try again, if you fall,
I know you'll come up walking tall.
Sway the darkness, let light come in,
Open your heart, let desire creep in,
Be a dreamer, let dreams check-in,
Be a winner, let victory set-in.
Take one flower,
Sing one song,
Light one candle and watch out the splendor.
I am the best, repeat the same line,
Stand up by yourself, let others decline,
Gather your strength, be that chosen one,
Always remember, time waits for none.
You are pure, if not glamorous,
Others are splendid, but you are fabulous.
Never feel down,
Don't let your heart break,
All you'll do after your life,
Is go to heaven straight.
I'll be your thoughts and acts,
And I'll be your sight,
Through all the thick and thin you face,
I'll always be by your side.
Nevertheless people make mistakes,
But great people never stop becoming great,
The next time you come to your windows and see,
I'll be your power and I'll be your fantasy.
So, let you spirits fly,
Fly high to the sky,
This is your life,
never say die
Although you frame laws, exceptions are always there,

I just closed my Forex CFD trading account with them. What I like about them is the withdrawal procedure. Unlike the other brokers, you do not need to fill in a withdrawal form (hardcopy) and mail/fax it back for processing. I just dropped an email and supplied some details for verification to complete the request. The cheque was deposited in my account in the same day.
As for the platform wise, I have no complains. I particularly like the customer report generation. I can configure the time frame and generate my trade history. It even create a pdf form for me!
Psst, hey...looking to become a profitable investor even without knowing anything about finance?: Grab this free guide to Value Investing that has step by step strategies, real life case studies to help you make more money and build a passive income through the stock market
The commission is a little higher than other brokers but they always maintain a fixed spread. So for those who do not like surprises, this may appeal to you.
The reason why I switched away from CityIndex is because I want to have an account that I can do both Forex and Stock CFDs at the same time. CityIndex currently offer 2 separate accounts.
Loyal readers will know that I have a Sharebuilder account with POEMS. This is also my first stock account so you can say there is some sentimental value with it. If CityIndex is convenient for funds withdrawal, then POEMS will be super fast due to the availability of Electronic Payment of Shares (EPS). The locally bred brokers have this EPS function which I believe they tied up with the local banks to facilitate fund transfers between the client's stock and bank accounts. The funds can be transferred within the same day.
Similar to CityIndex, POEMS does not have a CFD account for both Forex and stocks together. I only have a CFD stock account and a Cash stock account with POEMS.
What is annoying is the non-availability of stop orders to be placed out of trading hours. I can only place limit orders on DMA CFD stocks outside trading hours. (My broker has updated that POEMS allow order placement outside trading hours now.) Another thing that I do not like about POEMS is that the profit and loss statements are not updated at the end of the day. The results will only be shown the next day. It is inconvenient for me to gauge how well is the overall performance for the day.
So what makes me stay with POEMS? It is simply about the availability of shortable SG stocks. It has the most compared to the rest of the brokers.
It used to be a recommended broker by T3B as they offer the flexibility of adding CFD stocks for trading upon request. The recent weird and confusing email was a turning point for them. The mail said they are using the clients' funds to hedge against their Australian parent company. In other words, our money is no longer segregated and if anything goes wrong with the Australian headquarters, our money can be jeopardized. This prompted me to close my account at the earliest opportunity.
There are some other drawbacks, including high data fee and low leverage. MF charged about S$40/mth for Hong Kong data which is higher than most brokers. In addition, the leverage is also lower, 35% and 55% leverage are common, while other brokers usually offer 10% and 20%. The good thing is that both stocks and forex CFDs can be traded with one account. But note that the minimum contract size for Forex is 5 minis.
This is the first CFD stock trading account I have. Commission is the cheapest in the market, but it's spread is larger. You often cannot get in the price you want. Both Forex and stock CFDs can be traded with the same account.
Customer service is not that good. There was an incident which made me close the account. As mentioned above, I use stop orders. One fine day, CMC decided to banned stop orders for Hong Kong market. I was perturbed as the market was trending well (downwards). It is frustrating to see but not able to participate. I chat online with the customer service. Apparently, the person does not even know it was banned. After he consulted his colleague/boss, he told me indeed CMC will not be accepting stop orders for HK counters. I asked how long will it be before the ban would be lifted. He said company has not promise anything yet. Little did I know that it lasted for weeks! I then decided to close it for good.
You can see that brokers offer more or less the same things but the experiences can differ greatly. Would you like to share yours?

The Government of Canada announced in its 2014 federal budget that it intends to modernize the compositional standards for beer under the Food and Drug Regulations. Recognizing that certain provisions in the Food and Drug Regulations are not maximizing the potential for growth and innovation in the beer industry, the government will be updating these compositional standards to account for new styles of craft beer in the market.
Under the existing compositional standards, a narrow list of permitted ingredients for standardized alcoholic beverages like beer, ale, stout and porter is set out in sections B.02.130 and B.02.131 of the Food and Drug Regulations. This includes many of the ingredients traditionally used in the production of beer, such as malt barley, wheat, hops and water. While beer and similar beverages satisfying these requirements do not need to list their ingredients on the label, those that do not conform to these requirements (i.e., by adding additional ingredients) must have a complete list of ingredients on the label in both English and French and contain declarations regarding the presence of any allergens.
Brewers have raised concerns that these existing compositional standards have been creating barriers to innovation by limiting the ability for brewers to develop new and unique beer products. One example referenced by the government is the difficulty that Rickard's faced in getting its Cardigan Seasonal Spiced Lager labelled as "beer" due to the addition of nutmeg, which is not a permitted ingredient under the current compositional standards. Similarly, the Pump House Brewing Ltd. faced delays when launching its new Blueberry Ale because the existing labelling standards would not permit both names to be placed on the label.
While the contents of the proposed new regulations have not yet been released, they are expected to provide a number of clarifications that will broaden the existing compositional standard for beer and create greater flexibility when labelling beer products. The government hopes that these coming changes will encourage creativity and innovation in the development of new and unique beer products that can address evolving consumer tastes. Given that the beer industry generates approximately C$14 billion in economic activity each year (or, put another way, 0.9 per cent of Canadian GDP) and accounts for 163,200 Canadian jobs, encouraging creativity and innovation in the industry has been identified by the government as an important goal and one we will continue to monitor.

By Baileigh Rebowe | LSU Student
Baton Rouge Green opens its third annual spring plant and tree sale today (March 15) with more than 40 different trees and shrubs available to Louisiana residents. The sale will be conducted mostly online.
Patrons pick up orders at the LSU Burden Center on Essen Lane on April 19.
Profits made from the tree sale will benefit Baton Rouge Green, a local non-profit organization devoted to improving the local urban forest and inspiring residents to plant and sustain community greenery.
Diane Losavio, executive director of Baton Rouge Green, said the sale not only allows the organization to continue its preservation efforts but also motivates residents to plant trees in their neighborhoods.
She said the prices of the items in the sale are generally lower than retail prices, and that all items are from local nurseries around Louisiana. Some of the trees available include live oaks, crape myrtles, magnolias, cypresses, dogwoods and fruit trees.
"We are particular in who we buy trees from. We do not get plants (for the sale) from far away states because we want to sell items that are susceptible to Louisiana weather and will do well here," said Losavio. "You also get to pick out exactly what you want and how many, instead of going to a store and only being able to purchase limited amounts because of unavailability."
Proceeds from the sale and other Green events contribute to the cost of area projects and the maintenance involved after the project is completed, which is not cheap, according to Losavio.
Baton Rouge Green has planted more than 35,000 trees in parks, in neighborhoods and along roadways since its beginnings in 1987. The organization planted and still maintains 5,000 trees along Baton Rouge's interstate system. Losavio said 79 trees were just recently planted at BREC's soccer park on Burbank Drive.
"Trees along the interstate are beautiful to look at and are great for tourism. Those who see how aesthetically pleasing it is here will want to spend money and bring their businesses to Baton Rouge."
Trees are beneficial to society for many other reasons, says Zhu Ning, professor of forestry at Southern University. For example, they keep yards and homes cooler in the scorching months of Louisiana summers.
Proper tree planting is vital to the community, according to Zing, because energy use is reduced in buildings and home, consequently reducing carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, noting that 100 trees can remove up to 5 tons of carbon dioxide in the air every year.
The Baton Rouge area alone loses thousands of trees to hurricanes, storms, development and other factors that have to be constantly replaced. In spite of efforts of Baton Rouge Green, just one tree is planted for every four damaged or removed, according to Losavio.
Louisiana residents will have another opportunity to buy greenery at the 10th Annual Baton Rouge Spring Garden Show presented by the LSU Ag Center held at the John M. Parker Coliseum on the LSU camus March 24-25.

Insomniac's Love Letter
by Charlotte E. Wilde
You tell me I clench my jaw in my sleep, tapping out the morse code of my worries from 4am to waking or from waking to 4am.
I've no proof of this and you know I prefer quantifiable things but you must be right because I can taste them coppery in my mouth when I wake up and run my tongue along my ragged cheeks.
I wonder if you want to run your tongue along them too and briefly consider waking you.
Instead I watch you sleeping and marvel at the shape of your skull. I think of the would-be scientist, Cuvier, and those measuring devices from the 19th century that thought to quantify the unquantifiable thoughts of man using the structure of his bones, the shape of his forehead, the distance between his eyes.
Your eyes are like the marbles I confiscated on the playground and began to collect in a little jar in my desk. And maybe that's a weird thing to think about, but I think it anyway.
I watch them darting back and forth like conductor's hands at a silent dreamland symphony.
I know your dreams must be made of simple "all-american" things like apple pie and railroad tracks and biplanes which is both reassuring and not. Because like the books you read, books full of facts and historical truths, this kind of thinking has never really made any sense to me.
I scrap the thought and consider the heat of you. You're like a radiator when you sleep, roaring to life under the covers with clinks and clacks and you always let me burrow my icicle toes into backs of your knees. An exaggerated whoosh of breath escapes you and you scold me jokingly at the cold of them but never move away. Nobody else ever let me do that.
Tonight is no different. I tuck my toes under your leg and push my face into the dip between your arm and chest, feel the springy hair and breathe in slow. You're burning hot against my skin and smell like must and calm and safety. I've always had trouble with that smell.
Scents are tricky things, really. I wonder if maybe yours will one day be a Proustian Madeleine that sneaks around a corner and smacks me in the chest. I doubt it though, because nobody could ever smell like this but you.
I remember you told me once I smell like my room in the attic where you patiently waited for months until I told you you could have me if you wanted me and then you did. I understood then that I smell like slanted ceilings and red wood and must, not like you, but like the earth of my potted plants that spilled their leaves over all the windowsills onto the floor.
Cedar. Jade. Rosemary.
The problem with smells though is they're intangible and you know i prefer quantifiable things.
"Go back to sleep, C," you mumble without opening your eyes and as I try to slide away you drag me back across the slick sheets into the tattooed cage of your arms. I don't squirm, knowing that soon you'll fall back asleep and I can slip free. Night is a good time for thinking, even if you disagree.
I wonder what Cuvier would make of the shape of my skull and jaw, strong from all these nights of code-tapping contemplation. I think how different it would look from yours and imagine us side by side set high upon a laboratory shelf all white and smooth like hardboiled eggs. And maybe that's a weird thing to think about, but I think it anyway.
Side by side, skull by skull.
I know you'll never understand me sometimes— the smooth shapes of our craniums being simply too different to reconcile, but I also think that maybe you're the only one who does.
I never did like unquantifiable things.
But you do.

7 Standard Net Solutions To Aid Boost Your Internet Marketing Efforts

The old concept: before, there have been each one of these scripts you necessary to learn to make sure you could call your friends and family to come to a gathering, encourage them to set up an occasion for you along with your frontrunner to get to their home to present your concepts.
When you have a spare phone line designated this range when it comes to sale of your property. Better yet, get a relatively inexpensive and on occasion even free individual line with Vonage or
skype sex chat buddies
. Make use of this range temporarily the purchase of your house and disconnect it after you have sold it.
For other some ideas, the wave has merely passed. Rather than trying to extrapolate linearly from solutions currently popular, be the first to resolve one of many myriad of existing and future issues causing genuine "pain" in our society. Problems like health care and diseases, or alternate power solutions, provide a wealth of opportunities, with huge potential paybacks for all.
I am sure you've got usually heard the way the sub-conscious ideas we believe can get a grip on what happens to us hence we need to "visualize" what we desire to be able to obtain "it." Name it and claim it as they say. While i've always put stock in visualization, We haven't put some effort engrossed myself until I started to research the RAS usually known as the Reticular Activating program associated with the Skype meeting mind.
One: just how many users do they usually have on the internet dating solution? That is something that you would want to understand since this will say to you what number of folks you can find you could fulfill and possibly date. It only takes one, but discovering that one is never as easy as it sounds.
More often than not, if you should be single, you've scoured the vast water of skype internet dating sites looking for that special someone. The issue is, once you understand things to look out for in a dating web site. Whenever should you spend money for reasonably limited account? Just what internet dating sites deliver many benefits?
On Cafe, Yuri and Gustavo manages your kitchen, Tamy the leading of the home (and speaking!), all working difficult to guarantee the most effective food and service with their customers.
Everything need to state is critical. a beautifully crafted but content-free distribution is a lot of sizzle without steak. Unless you have Skype dating one thing meaningful to state never state it, it doesn't matter how confident your vacuous language may appear on a surface amount. You are going to quickly be regarded a clear match and a person not worth being attentive to. Which will place your impact (and profession) on ice.
After that you should learn to transfer your old method of advertising to brand-new plus updated advertising and marketing principles. Why don't we review three significant modifications which you can use to produce this happen.
One of my teachers said about VOIP. Voip is basically the ability to make calls utilizing broadband Web. You'll plug in a smooth phone, which can be like a microphone with headset (but its shaped like a phone), and plug it directly into your USB interface in your desktop computer. This enables you to make phone calls from your computer system, as soon as your computer is on. You are able to obtain telephone calls from your computer system.

McDermott Delivers 'Solid' Results for 2Q, Backlog at $9.5B
McDermott International has reported net income of $92.6 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the 2009 second quarter, compared to its record quarter of $177.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, in the corresponding period of 2008. Weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis were approximately 233.1 million and 230.4 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
McDermott's revenues in the second quarter of 2009 were $1,565.0 million, compared to $1,792.6 million in the corresponding period in 2008. The decrease in consolidated revenues was primarily due to a lower level of activity in the Power Generation Systems segment, partially offset by increased revenues in the Government Operations segment.
The Company's operating income in the 2009 second quarter was $147.7 million, compared to $231.1 million in the 2008 second quarter. Notwithstanding a 35.2 percent year-over-year increase in Government Operations' segment income, McDermott's 2009 second quarter operating income declined compared to a year ago due to a predominantly non-cash increase of $21.9 million in consolidated pension plan expense and reduced levels of segment income from both Power Generation Systems and Offshore Oil & Gas Construction.
"McDermott delivered solid results in the 2009 second quarter and produced the highest level of quarterly income since the second quarter of 2008," said John A. Fees, Chief Executive Officer of McDermott. "While the markets we serve lack conviction due to worldwide economic conditions, the Company's bidding activity remains good, particularly in oil and gas, our liquidity improved sequentially to over $1 billion, and McDermott's backlog remains strong."
At June 30, 2009, McDermott's consolidated backlog was $9.5 billion, compared to $9.8 billion and $10.0 billion at June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively.
2009 Second Quarter Compared to 2008 Second Quarter
Offshore Oil & Gas Construction Segment
Revenues in the Offshore Oil & Gas Construction segment were $832.7 million in the 2009 second quarter, compared to $872.3 million for the same period a year ago. Increased revenues in the Middle East region were more than offset by reduced levels in other regions. Approximately 40 percent of the total 2009 second quarter revenues were derived from the Middle East projects in Qatar.
Segment income for the 2009 second quarter was $67.8 million, compared to $98.0 million in the 2008 second quarter. Major areas contributing to second quarter 2009 segment income include the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Americas regions.
At June 30, 2009, segment backlog was $4.7 billion, compared to backlog of $5.3 billion and $5.0 billion at June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2009, respectively.
Corporate & Other Income and Expense
Unallocated corporate expenses were $21.4 million in the 2009 second quarter, compared to $15.4 million in the 2008 second quarter. The year-over-year increase is predominantly due to increased pension expense.
The Company's other expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $5.2 million, compared to other income of $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2008. The $15.2 million decline was predominantly due to increased non-cash, foreign currency translation charges, as well as reduced net interest income.

Yesterday, the island gave us an analysis of some people in the United States to take part in the parade. Sister island can only say that this is the democratic path of the American people, it is estimated that at this time you can only kneel on the end of it. Today, National Defense University Professor, doctoral tutor Gong Fangbin analysis of the various things after the arrival of Trump. Don't know if Gong Fangbin's interpretation can be for those who do not wish to Trump uncle Sheng people bring a little bit of comfort. Professor Gong Fangbin believes that the election of Trump, not only can not change the United States, but also can not change the world, of course, it is impossible to change china. The root cause of the president's power is limited! As for the president of the United States how power Co., who is to limit and so on, and professor of public "interpretation of the. Do not read too much, Trump can not change the United States and the world, Gong Fangbin and, PK, the former wins the. Perhaps too many people so surprise, all kinds of interpretation in the field of public opinion, and constantly upgraded interpretation. For example, many people believe that this will change the United States, but also a profound impact on the world and china. In fact, Trump elected, not only can not change the United States, but also can not change the world, of course, it is impossible to change china. The root cause of the president's power is limited! The president of the United States took the oath of office, in accordance with the procedural requirements, the oath of the hands of the Bible, swear allegiance to the constitution. This is called "God's return to God, Caesar caesar". Specifically, people's spiritual world is taken care of by God, and the society is regulated by law. Since the two highlight is not by the president's speech, he can only do some specific affairs. For example, Obama was in power for 8 years, before making a trip to Britain, the British asked: "what did you do during the reign of pride?" Answer: I promote the health care reform!" The president has limited power and scope. "Watergate", in the face of the special prosecutor Cox step forward, Nixon asked the Minister of justice Richardson deposed Cox duties. Richardson says I can't carry out your orders. The deputy minister, after he took over as Minister of justice, faces the same problem and has chosen to resign. Finally, the justice department number three, Burke become acting Minister of justice, Cox promised to recall the special prosecutor office. Why do prosecutors and attorney general dare to "get along" with the president? The reasons are various. The United States attorney general is a member of the attorney general, and thus is a subordinate to the president. But the king of Kings is not my king, and the servant of a servant is not my servant". In principle, the president has no right to cross the duties of the attorney general for the removal of the federal prosecutor, only through the attorney general. From the power relations, the Minister of justice shall carry out the orders of the president, but the Justice Department is generally legal scholars have influence, or achievements of the prosecutor, lawyer, decides that they don't have to worry about losing their jobs. At the same time, the Minister of justice belongs to the political bureaucracy, and the political bureaucracy相关的主题文章:

When Legory O'Loughlin graduated from his Iowa high school in 1920, he received an unusual graduation gift, a trip to California. While here, he was attracted by the state's booming potential and three years later he came back to stay. "I migrated to California where the streets were paved with gold in 1923," he wrote in a 1984 autobiography.
"His father was disappointed, to put it mildly, that he wanted to come west," said his son, Tom, in a recent email interview.
O'Loughlin attended the University of Southern California and found a job as a window trimmer at Woolworths. A year later, with a new job staffing the desk at the San Pedro YMCA, he went back to his hometown to marry his high school sweetheart, Mildred Mauthe, who was working as an art supervisor in the Charles City, Iowa, schools.
A 1926 YMCA newsletter profiled him thusly: ``Legory hailed from Washington, Iowa that laid claim to the 'cleanest city in the states.' Gory must have helped to make it such, for he looks the part of a straight shooter.''

Sigma-Aldrich Introduces Hybridspe™- Precipitation Technology
Product News Nov 14, 2008
Supelco, a division of Sigma-Aldrich, introduces a new patent pending sample prep platform called HybridSPE-Precipitation, which merges the two predominate techniques in bioanalytical sample preparation: protein precipitation and solid phase extraction (SPE).
One of the major causes of ion-suppression in bioanalysis is the presence of phospholipids during LC-MS or LC-MS-MS analysis in the positive ion electrospray mode (+ESI). Phospholipids are the second largest lipid component in biological matrices after triglycerides, and are typically present in extremely high concentrations in biological plasma samples.
HybridSPE – PPT technology is a simple and generic sample preparation platform designed for the gross level removal of endogenous protein and phospholipid interferences from biological plasma and serum prior to LC-MS or LC-MS/MS analysis.
Biological plasma or serum is first subjected to protein precipitation via the addition and mixing of acidified (with formic acid) acetonitrile. The HybridSPE 96-well plate (or cartridge) acts as a chemical filter that specifically targets the removal of endogenous sample phospholipids. The 96-well version contains a series of low porosity hydrophobic filters/frits, the packed-bed filter/frit assembly acts as a depth filter facilitating the concurrent removal of both phospholipids and precipitated proteins during the extraction process. The cartridge version requires removal of precipitated proteins prior to load on the HybridSPE bed e.g. by centrifugation.
The phospholipid retention mechanism is based on a highly selective Lewis acid-base interaction between the proprietary zirconia ions functionally bonded to the HybridSPE stationary phase and the phosphate moiety consistent with all phospholipids. The resulting eluent is ready for immediate LC-MS or LC-MS/MS analysis with out phospholipids interference.

"As a child in Quito I started with BMX racing and joined a racing club with some very talented young BMX coaches and racers. I then switched to mountain biking in my adolescence and had the opportunity of taking lessons with Ecuadorian MTB legend Alfredo "Arete" Cobo. I remember that as if it were yesterday because it got wild learning how to ride faster, better and safer on the "Pichincha" volcano! From there on I raced a few years cross country before stepping into the dark side with DH. Now I race Enduro and love every aspect of it. For me being able to make my passion my job is very satisfying. After having the privilege of racing DH World Cups for over ten seasons, I try spending as much time home as possible. I still race Enduro professionally in Europe."

Why I'm Not Backing Project Eternity
We can all agree that Kickstarter has done some pretty amazing things for videogames. It's given small developers whose projects would normally get eaten alive by EA or Activision the chance to circumvent the Machine and acquire resources they otherwise wouldn't normally have to make and sell their game, oftentimes directly involving their supporters with things like access to developer forums or a spot in the credits. Congratulations, you've helped defeat videogame capitalism and won the day!
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for major publishers to realize the insane money making potential of Kickstarter and come along and remind us why we can't have nice things.
The bubble started really inflating with Double Fine Adventure, the point-and-click adventure from Double Fine that asked backers for $400,000 and made over $3 million. While the prospect of major developers using grassroots distribution seemed like a Brave New World for videogames, we quickly hit Kickstarter Saturation, with everybody from the smallest devs with no track records to Wasteland Fucking 2 appealing to our wallets and our communitarian spirits.
The newest high profile Start waiting to be Kicked comes from Obsidian, with their ominously-named Project Eternity. This was, predictably, met with much fanboy furor and has at the time of this writing pulled in over $2 million. While I'm a fan of classic cRPGs, my reaction was less wide-eyed and more eye-roll.
Eye-Roll #1: Does Obsidian really need to be "kickstarted?"
If you've heard of Obsidian before, it's because they're responsible for almost all of the smash-hit cRPGs from the 90′s. These guys practically invented the videogame RPG. With all their success and pedigree (and, you know, money), it's a legitimate question to ask if Obsidian really needs our money. It looks an awful lot like they're trying to take advantage of a system so they can make a game risk-free without having to wager their own money. I mean just look at this Kickstarter trailer. Look at it, and tell me that a company that can afford that kind of production value on a Kickstarter trailer needs our help to pay for a game.
Eye-Roll #2: Kickstarter is just a blind preorder system.
Take a look at that snazzy Project Eternity trailer. Watch all 6 minutes of its highly produced shininess and then tell me what the hell that game actually is. Apart from "a cRPG-style game reminiscent of the Infinity Engine games," we know almost nothing about it, and yet we're expected to readily shell out $20 EARLY, just for a digital copy. Not only that, but the project's "stretch goals" include things like "a player house" or a "DRM-free option" – things that will get added in only if increasing increments of $200,000 are met. There is a huge difference between using extra money to help improve your game and literally holding things over the players' heads (really? making us pay extra for the option to have the game DRM-free?) in an attempt to get more people to fork over more dollars on something that we've to-date seen exactly nothing on.
Eye-Roll #3: They're ruining it for everyone else.
Did you really think for a second that Obsidian wouldn't meet their Kickstarter goal? They have a ravenous fanbase who hungrily gulps up everything they produce just because it has their name on it. Unfortunately, while Obsidian can sell a gajillion units of a game that's barely even conceptualized yet solely on their name alone, their efforts take attention away from smaller projects that actually need the publicity and the attention (and the money). They seem to have forgotten, or just don't care, that Kickstarter is a platform for people to level their playing fields, not just a nifty new digital distribution platform for them to exploit, and in so doing they're trampling underfoot the very purpose of what Kickstarter is supposed to help represent: shining the spotlight on cool projects that deserve attention even though they don't have a top-tier gaming pedigree behind them.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying that Project Eternity will be a bad game. In fact I'm sure it will be great. Just look at the team they've got working on it! But its greatness is kind of a foregone conclusion, at least in the eyes of many fans. As such, it's hard to see their recent foray into crowdsourced funding as anything other than a gimmick to generate hype, produce a game risk-free, and make obscene amounts of money.

It's pretty mundane, really
Because I can,
I will write a poem
about fisting.
I will tell you
what it is
to reach inside
another person, to
streatch a small
important part
of another so it fits
every curve of a small
important part of you.
Because no one can
ever tell me not to,
I can tell you
how to fold your fingers
into your palm,
how to drip thick
clear liquid over your lover,
how to entice, sliding
in and out of her wetness,
how to live and breathe
inside her, how to push
your hand inside her knuckles
first and slide it out, how to pump
from your shoulder, how
to flip her over and suck on her
as you invade and plunder.
I can tell you how
her body bends,
how her back
arches, how she moans
and rolls her head.
The things I can tell you.

The purpose of this road closure is to remove the public highway dedication.
The approximate 0.736 hectare portion of Ocean Boulevard intended to be removed as highway dedication will be considered by the Council of the City of Colwood at its special meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 13, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, 3300 Wishart Road.
Persons who consider they are affected by Bylaw No. 1717 will be provided with an opportunity to make representations to Council at the meeting, or by delivering a written submission to the Chief Administrative Officer by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, February 9, 2018.
Bylaw No. 1717 is available for viewing at Colwood City Hall and may be obtained by contacting City Hall at 250-478-5999.

Appetizer: Name something you would not want to own.
A gun of any kind.
Soup: Describe your hair (texture, color, length, etc).
Thick, shoulder-length, naturally curly, red
Salad: Finish this sentence: I'll never forget....
The day Kevin asked me to marry him
Main Course: Which famous person would you like to be for one day. Why?
I don't think I'd like to be a famous person - I would NEVER want to deal with the tabloids or the papparazzi. It wouldn't be any fun.
Dessert: Write one sentence about yourself that includes one thing that is true and one that is not.
I make a great New York style cheesecake and I just won the lottery last night.
(That last one was less-than-inspiring to me. It took a while to come up with something. Apologies for its absurdity).

Welcome back fish lovers. We are so excited to have our system at the Dry Tortugas National Park working, despite the dredging operations that surprised all of us a wee bit. They should be done in a few weeks and then we will have some incredible views from the Fort. Bahia Honda has been looking good in the last few days and we are hoping for images that YOU snap from your computer. We would like to use our own images to build a database of information with fish identification and other information about the faunal inhabitants at our two camera sites.
We have two more camera systems that we hope to install in the next few months, and we need to raise some funds for equipment and installation. Please buy a t-shirt or post ideas for fundraising here on the blog.

This is a big bridal shower, wedding, graduation and baby shower month for us. Lots of parties and fun!
Last month, I attended a bridal shower for one of the weddings that's this weekend (yes, there are two in the same weekend) The groom is in the army and currently stationed in San Antonio, TX. The shower was western themed. The decorations and details were amazing; hats, boots, hay, chalkboard signs, bandanas - you name it, they thought of it! Why am I telling you all of this? So you won't think I'm totally nuts when you see that I used a cowgirl boot stamp for the bridal shower card.
For the crumb cake background, I first embossed the card stock with the wood grain embossing folder. Then I rubbed my versamark over it, sprinkled that with clear embossing powder then heat embossed it.
CASEd from this card.
Stamp Set: Bootiful Occasions
Card Stock: midnight muse, crumb cake, whisper white, polka dot parade dsp.
Markers: midnight muse, real red, crumb cake
Other: wood grain embossing folder, big shot, clear embossing powder, heat tool, midnight muse stitched satin ribbon, linen thread, dimensionals.
