The legal transaction that granted American citizenship and reserves of land in return for tens of thousands of acres in North Carolina was trampled on by North Carolina who surveyed and sold their houses, land and in many cases burned them out.
This story details the civil rights violations of Cherokee citizenship and land ownership provided for by the articles of the treaties of 1817 and 1819. About seventy-five Cherokee families in the vicinity of modern Qualla Boundary, Whittier, Bryson City, Cullowhee, Sylva, Cowee and Franklin, NC claimed 640-acre reserves allowed for by the treaties. Most of them included their existing farms, orchards and houses.
Local politicians including the Robert and Thomas Love families of Haywood and Macon Counties lobbied the Governor of North Carolina to authorize the surveying (subdivision) and sale of the Cherokee reserves provided by the said treaties.
The lands were surveyed in defiance of the federal government who was in the process of completing surveys for the Cherokee. Beginning in Waynesville, land sales sold the Cherokee's homes and farms out from under them. The buyers included calloused and unscrupulous individuals who drove the Cherokee families from their homes by brandishing guns and threats. Some Cherokee homes were torched and the residents forced to flee in the night by the light of their burning houses. The more civilized whites went to court and got eviction notices. Gideon Morris, a white Indian countryman, unsuccessfully struggled to represent and plead for the Cherokees in courts where Indians were not allowed to testify.
Later, the federal government retaliated against the State and forced at least meager retributions to dispossessed Cherokees. The stacks of files of depositions, spoilations and claims in the State and National Archives recorded after the "Cherokee Land Grab" of 1819-1824 are filled with the shameful abuses that took place.
This period of Cherokee history, 1800 to 1820, was a contest of opinion on how to settle the fabricated "Indian question" by every special interest except that of the traditional Cherokee.
The social engineers of that day were convinced that the endowment of the Cherokee with the plow, loom and spinning wheel would replace their traditional hunting lifestyle.
The land speculators and their political bed-buddies advanced the idea of trading Cherokee lands in the East for lands in the West. After all, they could continue to live wild and hunt there. It didn't matter that the western lands across the Mississippi were occupied or claimed by western tribes.

Lennart Hammarström
Professor, senior
About me
I started medical school (Karolinska Institutet) in 1969 and begun doing research (on a part time basis) with Erna and Göran Möller in 1971. After finishing medical school, I went into research full time and presented my PhD thesis (on cell stimulation with mitogens) in 1979. I subsequently completed my practical medical training (AT) and started specializing in clinical immunology, becoming a specialist in 1984. Ever since, I have been mixing clinical work with clinically oriented research.
Initially, I took on the post as a head of the clinical immunology laboratory (in 1997) but later devoted my time more to research and was appointed head of the division of Clinical Immunlogy in 1999, the same year that I became professor (and subsequently Distinguished professor, 2009) at the Karolinska Institutet. I still serve in this position, now having incorporated the transfusion service into our division.
Research description
My main research interests focus around immunogenetics and immunotherapy where I have published more than 500 papers to date. In the former area, we are mainly working on trying to understand the molecular basis of a variety of primary immunodeficiency diseases, including IgA deficiency (the most common form of primary immunodeficiency in Sweden) and common variable immunodeficiency. In the latter area, we are trying to develop novel forms of passive immunity that we can use to treat our patients, utilizing antibodies from different sources. Lately, we have turned to using genetically modified lactic acid bacteria as factories for producing antibody fragments in vivo and although most work has been performed in animal models, we are now preparing for clinical trials.

Glow: I am EVIL!!!!!
Verdana: No, you're not.
Glow: Am too! I will write you into a corner and leave you there like I already did to Jordan…
Viv: -narrows eyes- What did you do to Jordan?
Glow: Nothing…-looks guiltily innocent-
Yumi: anyone seen my Starbucks card? Ulrich says he never got it.
Glow, Verdana, Viv: Middle man…-facepalm- Middle men in this household equals Disaster with a capital D…
Yumi: Um, yeah, Santino promised to give it to Ulrich…That ——————-(politeness prevents me from actually recording what was said). I AM GOING TO PUMMEL HIM!!!!!!!
Glow: The boys never learn, do they?
Viv: Nope.
Verdana: Let's go watch Santino get beat up!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter 10: Guarding the Guardians
They gang woke up approximately three days later. And they woke up with splitting headaches. "Oooh, my head is killing me!" groaned Odd. Verdana massaged her temples trying to rub the ache out. The others were all doing similar things. Except for Viv. She grabbed the webbing between her thumb and pointer finger and squeezed hard. Instantly, the ache faded.
"Hey, how'd you do that?" Manuel asked, irritably.
"You squeeze here and through reflexology, it takes away the pain. I took a class about acupressure. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on all types of headaches. I wasn't even sure that it would work in the virtual world. Oh, and if anything else aches, try massaging your feet. Every part of the body is connected to the foot."
There were sighs of relief all around. A tiny door opened and one of the little people walked in. She grabbed something, then scurried out. Verdana tried the door. It was locked. "What the heck?"
"We don't have time for this." Viv said as she lined up with the door. She raised her fist.
"Viv! No!" Verdana shouted, but it was too late. Viv smashed her fist into the door. She got thrown back. Jordan caught her and they slammed into a bunch of stacked boxes.
"That won't work! If you would have waited, I could have told you!" Verdana shouted angrily.
Odd grabbed her hand and sat her back down. "Calm down. It's okay."
She took a deep breath and explained. "When I first got here, they assumed I was a threat. They locked me in here as well. I tried everything to get out. They look primitive, but they are highly advanced. We can't get out unless they let us out."
"I thought they were your friends. So, why are locked in here?" Jeremy asked. "They must have drugged us, because according to my watch, we've been asleep for almost three days!"
"Three days! That's crazy! Your watch must be off!"
"I assure you, it is correct."
"Nuts. I was thinking about something before I fell asleep, but now I can't remember what it was." Verdana frowned in concentration. She wasn't given much time to think, though. TARO came through the tiny door. They bombarded him with complaints about their situation.
"I apologize, but it is for your own safety."
"Bullshit. Come on, tell us what's really going on. We can help."
TARO looked sad. "The only way you can help us is to return to your system of origin."
Aelita knelt so that she was at his level. She grabbed his shoulders. "Look, I've gone too far to go back now. I've dealt with an annoying Master, escaping imprisonment for a crime I didn't commit, and being treated like some delicate little flower. I'm not giving up. There's got to be some other way for us to help you."
"The children!" Everyone turned to look at Verdana. "Whoever put you up to this took the children, didn't they. That's why there are none in the village!"
Looking at TARO's expression, Odd asked, confused, "You never told me you could read minds!"
She looked amused and puzzled at the same time. "I can't. I'm just really good at putting the pieces together. I'm right, aren't I?"
"Then, let us out and we'll find them."
"I promise you we'll kill those who did this." Aelita said.
"I believe you." He unlocked the large door. "Now go, quickly."
They exited the storeroom. "Manuel, Santino, Q, Jeremy, and Aelita, you guys stay and guard the village. Me, Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, Viv and Jordan will hunt for the children. If we're not back in about two hours, come find us." Verdana organized the gang into two groups. Her group set off into the jungle.
"Okay, in pairs, walk about a meter apart, that way we're less likely to miss something." Verdana eyed the other two couples. "That means spend the time looking, not making out. Whistle if you find something." They paired off exactly the way Verdana thought they would.
Jordan had grabbed Viv's hand and wasn't ever going to let go. "So what do you think we're up against?"
"I dunno. Whoever it is must be very intelligent. It struck at the weak point of the village, the children. The one thing guaranteed to gain compliance." She punched a passing tree trunk.
"Hey, watch it will you!" the tree complained. The two of them jumped about ten feet in the air. When they landed, they took off running.
Meanwhile, Ulrich and Yumi were picking their way through the underbrush. Ulrich was using his sword as a machete, feeling like a safari man. As he hacked through, Yumi watched his back, fans out and ready. Because she was walking backwards, she tripped over a root. The tree bent down and looked at her. "Are you alright dearie?" It had the voice of a kindly grandmother. "It's these silly roots, they always stick out." Ulrich helped her up.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
"No problem young one. Your young companion there is so considerate, hacking at those nasty creepers instead of our trunks. It is quite helpful, you know. Not like those vicious Scrawls. They hit whatever, vine or tree. Why those ones leading a bunch of children were damned inconsiderate. Look at the nasty scratch they gave me." They saw a huge gash on the tree.
"That must have hurt. You said they were leading children? Where were they heading?"
"They were heading in the direction of the Burn, I believe. It's in that direction. Now that you mention it, it was very strange to see Scrawls so far in the forest. They prefer the Flat usually. Well, I hope you weren't hurt by my silly root and you find those vile creatures." The tree straightened back up.
Ulrich and Yumi exchanged looks and took off running in that direction, slicing creepers down wherever they showed up. They found the Burn. It was a large clearing, created by a gigantic explosion. Ulrich unconsciously checked to see if his reusable bomb was still there. In cages were the little children. Some were looking angrily at their captors; tall creatures with blade for hands and legs like a dinosaur. They had long sharp beaks filled with teeth. Their language consisted of hisses and shrieks. A couple of them were looking hungrily at the children. It looked as though Ulrich and Yumi had arrived just in time. Yumi gave two quick whistles that sounded like a cricket.
A meter to the side a quite a ways back was Odd and Verdana. At the sound of the whistle, they headed for it. They met up with Ulrich and Yumi at the same time as Jordan and Viv. "So what are we going to do?" Jordan asked.
Ambulance: WEEEEOOOOWEEEEOOOOWEEEEOOOO
Yumi: Have a nice stay in the hospital, Tino!
Odd: -laughs- you know, from this side, it actually is quite funny.
Verdana: -raise eyebrow- Yes, we all know you dislike Santino…
Odd: -turns red and tries to hide- Well, um…yeah…um…-points at readers- They already know what I'm going to say!
Verdana: -dryly- Right.
Odd: -devensive- If they got this far, they do too know! It was all over the first couple chapters!
Verdana: Oh…that's what you were refering to. I thought you were talking about——–
Glow: -covers their mouths- Shut up! No spoilers!!!

I'm liking your new header picture. It's beautiful! OH & me thinks you look really majestic, standing on the top of that hill in the 1st picture. Beautiful! Good to know you found the "cadavar". You have a very very good nose. I'm so impressed that you could even sniff things that are UNDER the water. You're truly an amazing dog.
OK that's funny but what the heck is that squirted on the top of that wall?! I can't figure it out. Looks like cheese. OH, when my hoomies are in a very bad mood, they would say a lot of HBO words too. HEE HEE
That picture of you & the doctor is so heartwarming. That artwork is lovely. OH & that picture of Jade is too hilarious! Just look at that big grin of hers. TEE HEE
Hope your weekend has been great!

Hi Bert, Ray here. I was so glad to see that the waterfall picture of you made first cut. That's our fav! And I like Jade's smile, too. I always give people a big smile and I know how it is that not everyone appreciates our smiles like they should. Especially from a pit bull like me and a Rottie like Jade! We're just big smiley people lovers, we are! And I bet it drove you all crazy not to be able to clean up that cheese for Vickie! That is pretty funny! Never a dull moment at your house, nosiree!

Hey Bert!! Glad to see that u want to teach Sam some things, but that also makes me a little worried. I guess that I need to come and see u sometime so that when I drop her off at ur place that u won't try to talk to me again. Sam's "LOOK" is very good, so u don't have to teach her how to improve it. I will try to come down sometime so that I can help train u somemore. I am helping Sam learn how to walk on a lead, you know know that I helped u learn to walk on a lead so fine :) well, I will (hopefully) see u soon!!

There is nothing like a trip to the local fruit farm to make autumn complete. My cousins drove from the city to spend time with the family but their prime reason for their visit was to pick apples.
Our group was not the only one in the orchard on Saturday. It was a treat to share a family outing with many others. The families with children were heard giggling and laughing. Grandparents were telling stories. Cameras were clicking as fast as the apples were being picked.
Our favorite apples to pick are usually the Mutsu. They are a large greenish apple with a red blush. The crisp, deep creamy flesh is honey flavored when ripe. When cooked the slices retain shape with a sweet, light taste. They are also referred to as the Crispin apple.
Another favorite is the Jonagold, a cross between the Golden Delicious and Jonathan apples. They are large, fine eating apples with rich, juicy and slightly spicy flesh. They are good eating apples, a lunch-box favorite.
We picked some apples off one tree, switched a row and filled our bags with another type. Everyone was in search of the most perfect apple specimen of the day. Our bags were brimming with apple-goodness from many different rows of apples.
At the end of our delightful adventure we took our bags to be weighed. When asked what kind of apples we picked we laughed and stated, "All kinds."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Finney were available at the checkout. Each of them stated at separate times that we should make applesauce. My city cousins asked, "How is applesauce made?" The Finneys smiled at them and suggested that I share the secret with them.
Instead of keeping this recipe within the family I will share it with my readers: Applesauce is best made with a variety of types of apples. It takes a pleasant mix of apples to make a tasty sauce.
Wash the apples first. Whether making one cup or 10 gallons the recipe is the same. Cut and core the apples. If you have a sieve or a grinder, leave the peelings on; if not, peel them first before cutting. Bring to a boil in a large heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat, stirring often. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring often, until apples are soft, about 30 minutes.
Sauce will be slightly chunky. To remove large lumps, run the mixture through a sieve or grinder; if you do not have this equipment whisk briefly with a wire whisk. At this point, taste the apple mixture. Oftentimes it does not even need additional sugar. Spice it up with cinnamon and bring it back to a boil. Pour into small containers to cool.
Homemade applesauce can be canned, frozen or will keep in the refrigerator about 30 days. It most likely will not last that long. This Thanksgiving when the homemade applesauce is passed the pleasant memories will be even tastier.

Juddy Roller Studio
Subletting my lock up studio for the entire month of September while Im away. In an amazing huge bright upstairs of a very central firzroy warehouse.
Suitable for any visual artist.
freshly painted white, 24 hour, lock up, private but creative and friendly warehouse environment, everyone is busy doing thier own pratices and there is a gallery in the space that's often filled with awesome art. It's fairly quiete, most other studios are used for desk based jobs, or painters who do jobs on site so studio work is painting or generally pretty quiete practices.
The room itself has 2 huge warehouse windows with plenty of light, high saw tooth ceilings, equipped with heater, huge bench desk for work, easel and plenty of storgae space for your stuff. It's amazing for the price as it's usually shared and double the pricebut the other half is unoccupied and may be used by the owner for storage only at the moment. (so the owner has the other key and access to the studio for access if need be but we're all mates and they're really cool so will be no disruption to you or your work space)
Lease Conditions
one month from august 28
Parking Notes
Plenty of free on street parking on surrounding streets

Walking into a spa, you expect a lot of things. Pampering and de-stressing are usually at the top of that list. Comida, not so much. Will there be tea, cucumber water, some dried apricots and mangos? Sure. But a full multi-course meal is not typically in the works.
That's not the case, however, at Sea Spa Lands End at the Grand Solmar Lands End Resort & Spa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, which is arguably one of the best hotel, spa, culinary — and "culinary spa" — experiences you can find on the Baja peninsula.
Picture this: At the very tip of Cabo, just a stone's throw away from the famed El Arco, you're overlooking a secluded beach, perched high in a hidden palapa (which doubles as your treatment room). On the private balcony just outside your room, there'a sitting area where you can relax and listen to the waves crash as your therapist preps your treatment inside. You'll technically start your spa experience with a small palette cleanser/amuse bouche before sinking into the relaxation of your themed treatment, which could consist of a moonlit couples massage, a "Detox Facial Cure" deep cleansing facial, or our favorite, the Pre-Hispanic massage which utilizes a rebozo for deeper stretching and muscle adjustments and relief.
After your treatment, as you enter a state of relaxation bliss, your therapist will bring you to a nearby private dining palapa where you'll experience a second round of bliss — food bliss! Immersed in the comfort of a soft robe, you'll be presented a multi-course paired meal at a relaxing pace. Dishes include Cucumber Gazpacho with pico de gallo and jícama, green sea bass ceviche, horchata with a cinnamon, nut and almond rim, and even a dessert — Popocatépetl (lava cake) of chocolate served on a corn leaf with mint sauce. The food is such a special part of the overall experience at Sea Spa at Lands End that you should make sure to show up hungry and plan your treatment around a regular meal time if you can.
The only thing that can really top this experience is making it a part of an overall stay at Grand Solmar, which is the perfect Cabo getaway for a mini-moon, honeymoon, babymoon or quiet family vacation. Tucked away behind granite rock formations just a few miles from the fun of downtown (El Squid Roe, anyone? And if you don't know, just go.), Solmar brings low-key relaxation and service to a new level. The hotel is full of gorgeous infinity pools (complete with swim-up bars), cozy fire pits, superb al fresco dining and one-of-a-kind experiences, like a tequila tasting or the unique opportunity to partake in a Temazcal sweat lodge/spiritual healing ritual at sister property, Playa Grande, which is just next door.

And there were voice recorders too
There were only a few voice recorders around on the market for the visor, but they were very good. This one especially was worth while, as like a number of other modules it was also one that would work out of the visor too.

Let individual teachers continue to use it.
If teachers cant test this for a while, how are they going to convince the rest of the school of how useful it is. I would be devastated to now lose 1 years worth of data and all my seating plans. I really want to convince the senior management team of how great it is!

S. Collins commented
Yes! I am so sad about what Classcharts is doing. I don't want to lose all my data - I want it available here instead of screenshotting/exporting an Excel file. Why not charge a yearly fee for individual teachers or something?!

The awards continued to pile up for a trio of Ohio State players.
Redshirt senior center Billy Price, junior cornerback Denzel Ward and sophomore defensive end Nick Bosa were named first-team All-Americans by the American Football Coaches Association on Wednesday.
The announcement comes just two days after Price and Ward were named first-team All-Americans by the Associated Press. Bosa was on the second-team. All three were first-team All-Big Ten members.
This is the second consecutive season Price has been named an AFCA first-team All-American as a right guard. The redshirt senior also took home the Rimington Trophy, given to the nation's top center, and was named the Big Ten Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year. During the 2017 season, Price set the Ohio State record for consecutive games started, having started every game of his career since his redshirt freshman season.
Nick and Joey Bosa become only the second pair of Ohio State brothers to both be named first-team All-Americans, joining Ray and Archie Griffin. Nick has continued the legacy of the Bosa name, joining Joey as fellow Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year winners by taking home the hardware in 2017. Bosa has 32 tackles — 18 solo and 14 assisted — with 14.5 tackles for loss and seven sacks. He also forced a fumble.
Ward has shined in his first year as a starter, picking up two interceptions, 15 passes defended, 30 solo tackles, seven assisted tackles and two for a loss. He was named a finalist for the Thorpe Award, given to the nation's top defensive back, but lost to Alabama safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.

December 21, 2007 - Cancer patients looking to communicate with family and friends during their treatment process can now do so with the launch of MyLifeLine.org, a free personalized Web site tool.
Through the creation of their own customized websites, patients can share updates and photos via one central location. At the same time, they build an online support community that fosters inspiration, connection, and healing. MyLifeLine Cancer Foundation, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people with cancer, is the creator of MyLifeLine.org.
The founder of MyLifeLine.org, Marcia Donziger, personally experienced the emotional roller coaster of cancer. At the age of 27, Marcia was diagnosed with Stage III ovarian cancer. She discovered that it was emotionally draining to repeat the same information about her condition to everyone she talked to, yet she felt guilty about not staying in touch with concerned family and friends. In 2003, six years after her own diagnosis, Marcia learned about Lori Arquilla Andersen, a young cancer patient who created her own personal website in order to stay in touch with family and friends. Inspired by Lori, Marcia decided to make a difference for other cancer patients by enabling them to set up their own free Web sites.
MyLifeLine.org Web site Features
- Connecting Update - For patients, survivors, and caregivers, to easily share health updates and photos during and after a cancer diagnosis
- Learning Links - Resources about the patient's specific cancer type, including symptoms, treatments and effects
- Inspiring Messages - Where friends and family can upload photos and send supportive messages
- Helping Calendar - To post visiting hours, doctor appointments, and treatment schedules
- Laughing Medicine - Joke of the Day
- Inspirational quotes on every page that are continually refreshed
MyLifeLine's vision is to enable newly-diagnosed patients to connect easily with other cancer survivors in an effort to learn from their experiences and to make new friends with those who understand. A future upgrade of the Web site will contain a directory to make it possible for cancer patients to search for others with a similar diagnosis, age range, treatment schedule,among criteria.

WATCH: Piolo Pascual reveals actresses he wants to work with. Jennylyn Mercado makes it on the list!
Despite network rivalry, anything is possible nowadays. Proof of this is the unexpected team up of Jennylyn and Kapamilya Network's box office and award winning actor John Lloyd Cruz in Star Cinema's Just The 3 Of Us.
Now, in a recent interview another ABS-CBN top leading man names the Ultimate Star as one of the actresses he hopes to work with. This is no other than the Ultimate Heartthrob Piolo Pascual. This is exciting as the two are from different networks and both are known for having chemistry to whoever they get paired with. If things will materialize, this will become their first project together.
A few weeks ago, Jennylyn and Piolo were spotted at Belo's Christmas Party. In fact, a photo of them with Cristalle Belo and Baby Scarlet Snow was shared by Dra. Vicki Belo herself.
Calling the attention of Star Cinema. Please make this happen!

Malinky Robot Comics
Malaysia-born, Singapore based illustrator and comics author Sonny Liew is the creative force behind the Malinky Robot comics. Sonny is currently working on his third Malinky edition, tentatively titled The Balloon Bomb Factory. At the same time he is prepping a Malinky Robot short for the next volume of the Flight anthology.
Sonny created his first Malinky comic in 2003 when he was still a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, as a project for David Mazzuchelli's class. "Malinky Robot: Stinky Fish Blues was my first solo project. It basically follows the adventures of street urchins Atari and Oliver as they pan handle, go fishing and dream of computer games in the semi-fictional city of San'ya, a near-future city based on the real city of the same name," Sonny explains. "I was fortunate enough to receive a Xeric grant to self publish. Dealing with printers and distribution was an interesting experience, but I'm glad to let proper publishers deal with those things now."
Sonny's biggest comic inspirations were the British weekly 2000 AD, Calvin and Hobbes and the work by Canadian comic artist Chester Brown. "They all gave me a sense of the possibilities of the medium, and made me want to try something of my own. I was also influenced by other visual mediums like movies – from set designs in Bladerunner to the cadences of movies like YiYi and Kikujiro."
The details of Sonny's artwork are simply amazing; done entirely in pencil and coloured in on the computer. "I work this way for practical reasons of speed and also just for the softer, sketchier look of the final pages. I'm trying to get the hang of inking though – learning new tools and ways of drawing."
Sonny is currently working on the third book in the Malinky Robot series, which promises to be a longer narrative and more ambitious in scope. "My hope is still to combine both formal experimentation of form with engaging characters and stories. The story deals to some extent with the relationship between the Second World War and the development of Manga and anime, but it is also about memories and perception and the rhythms of life in the City of San'ya. Its all very vague sounding, I guess clarity would have to be found in the comic itself."
As for more books in the Malinky series, Sonny says it's still too early to think about further installments right now. In the meantime he keeps his fingers crossed that Liverpool will win the Quintuplet.

I broke my hip once and was forced to maneuver through life for a while with a walker. I don't like it, it bugs me and actually I can't stand to look at it. When they gave it to me they asked if I wanted to buy it or rent it, I said "Rent it, cause it's going back." I recently visited a friend who was very ill and in the hospital. It was sad to see her in such poor condition, but although I felt bad I managed to smile and be an encouragement to her. After my visit I was shuffling and gimping down the hallway when a nurse approached pushing a lady in a wheelchair. The lady in the chair gazed at me and said, "Boy I wish I could walk like that." She encouraged me.
The point is, in life we are all in different places and in different seasons. Our circumstances don't always appear as we think they should; yet we are put here for a reason that is much larger than ourselves. Our circumstances or conditions should never be the issue, what we do with them should. You can be a blessing; it's just a matter of perspective. My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. James 1:2-3
Dear Lord, there is nothing joyful about trials or no value in suffering for its own sake. Everything we go through is meant to test our faith, teach us to patiently endure and then share it with others. May we learn that You have a purpose for everything You do and everything we go through.
Most of the time the tests we go through are meant to benefit others.

You don't need to choose between your customers' wellbeing and your bottom line
It's a great time for online gambling operators in the UK. According to the UK Gambling Commission, the country now has the world's largest regulated online gaming market, generating £4.7bn a year in revenue. Plus, 18.3% of UK residents have played online in the last four weeks.
However, the booming market is not risk-free. More and more compliance managers find taking a proactive approach to encourage responsible gambling is not just a moral obligation. It's also a smart business move.
Problem Gambling Creates Blowback for Operators
Of course, the rising popularity of online betting in the UK has been closely mirrored, by a surge in reported cases of gambling addiction.
Nearly half a million people in the UK are problem gamblers, while another 2 million are at risk of developing an addiction to online betting. Gambling addiction is an incredibly dangerous condition that can lead to financial ruin, family turmoil, and an inability to function on a day-to-day basis. Ultimately, the stress caused by gambling addiction will lead one in five victims to attempt suicide.
At the same time, we've observed the rate of self-exclusion in online betting nearly triple in the last decade, as more people become familiar with the threat of gambling addiction.
There's good reason for responsible operators and compliance managers to encourage those who are at risk to self-exclude, because problem gambling isn't just a threat to the individual. One operator discovered this the hard way after being hit with a £7.8 million fine for failing to protect vulnerable customers.
Encourage Safer Gambling
As an operator, it's in your interest to ensure that your customers play safely. Not only because you want to operate with integrity, but also because it's a good business decision.
There are several practices which, if you're not already employing, you should implement immediately to secure your organisation:
- Deposit Limits: You can enable players to decide ahead of time how much they're willing to bet. Customers are not tempted to overspend, because they will be locked-out from adding more money to their accounts.
- Loss Limits: Just like a deposit limit, you can also allow your customers to forcibly lock their accounts if they lose too much within a predetermined amount of time.
- Time-Out Reminders: You can provide customers with notifications to their devices to suggest they take a break after a long period of play.
- IP Blocking: Being able to enforce the above anti-abuse mechanisms means being able to identify customers by their IP address and block them from playing. Otherwise, a person may just create a new account to bypass restrictions.
The Most Important Tool of All
All of the above tools can help, but none of them are foolproof. That's where gamban® comes in.
gamban® blocks access to ALL gambling sites by users who opt-in to the service. Operators partnered with gamban can rest easy knowing that individuals who choose to self-exclude, have someone there to eliminate temptation and help keep them on the straight-and-narrow.
Our technology is the most effective, lightweight, proven solution on the market to protect both consumers and operators from problem gambling. Learn more about how gamban®'s innovative solutions can ensure responsible gambling and protect your business today

When your hair looks messy or unpolished, it makes you look unprofessional. Good looking hair can be the deciding factor in a job interview or a close relationship. That's why it's so important to make sure your hair looks great! Keep reading to find hair care tips that will help you do just that.
When you are using products for your hair make sure that you apply them directly to the hair and not on the scalp. This is important because adding hair products to your scalp can clog the pores of your head, which could lead to hair damage and/or loss of hair.
If you are going to be swimming in a pool you should wet your hair before hand so that your hair is mostly soaking up the water you put in it and not the chlorinated water. Chlorinated water is not good for your hair, especially if it is color treated.
When choosing a brush to use on your hair, choose one with soft bristles, instead of hard ones. There are brushes available that are made of animal fibers or soft bristles that will be easier on your hair and not cause any type of damage to your beautiful hair!
People with curly hair should absolutely avoid using smoothing brushes and other brushes that have dense, fine bristles. You should use a wide-tooth comb for any combing. However, you should take care to use a heavy detangler before attempting to comb out knots and other tangles, as curly hair is susceptible to breakage.
When selecting a brush, you should choose one that is made from natural animal hairs, as opposed to one made from synthetic materials. The bristles on the natural brushes will be more soft and flexible, so it will be less likely to cause any damage to your hair, if you use it regularly.
A great way that you can reduce the breakage of your hair is to put tea tree oil in your shampoo. This nutrient is very important for the health of your hair and helps to maintain firm strands. Adding this nutrient to your shampoo or conditioner yields a fresh and vibrant style.
It's important to make sure your hair and scalp get enough natural oil. For even distribution of your hair's natural oil, try bending over and brushing your scalp and hair back to front. Keep doing this until your scalp begins to tingle. Follow up with a gentle massage using your fingertips.
Use leave in conditioner on your hair on a regular basis. This is particularly useful for those who have dry and brittle hair. Using a leave in conditioner is equivalent to using a daily moisturizer on the face. It will help keep your hair healthy and replenished and prevent damage.
Hair care is something everyone needs to be concerned about. When your hair looks good, others will have a better opinion of you. Take the time to try out these tips and see which ones work for your hair. Once you have beautiful hair, you'll see how much of an asset it can be.

You've probably noticed scooters like these scattered around Downtown Campbell lately. The Campbell City Council has not made a decision one way or another on what to do about them, but is expected to do so within a month from now. In the meantime, they're being conditionally allowed if you follow some rules.
The following list is not comprehensive so there may be other things you need to do to keep you and the scooter you're riding in good standing.
- You must have a drivers license to ride them.
- Do not ride on the sidewalk.
- Follow all traffic rules when riding (obey stop signs).
- No parking directly in front of buildings or walkways.
From what I've heard, the Campbell PD has been lenient so far, but breaking any of these rules could result in a ticket and a significant fine.

Return to the County Table.
The Territorial Legislature of 1855 organized Breckinridge County, attaching it to Madison County for civil, criminal and military purposes. It was named to honor Vice-President Breckinridge. The county seat of Madison County was Columbia, situated one and a half miles southeast of Emporia, and founded during this year by the first settler in Breckinridge County, Charles H. Withington, assisted by T. S. Huffaker and Wm. D. Harris, the other two incorporators. The bogus statutes which brought Breckinridge County into being, fixed the terms of the United States District Court in 1855, on the second Thursday of October, and in the county of Madison on the third Thursday of October.1

Get creative with your influencer marketing strategy with these 10 tips
If you are a fashion brand implementing an influencer marketing strategy, there are a lot more options for collaboration than a static Instagram image with a lousy tag and "OMG love this skirt" caption (cringeworthy, right!?). In fact, there are a whole bunch of different ways you can collaborate on a creative strategy and mutually beneficial campaign. Here are 10 ways fashion brands can work with influencers, with options for short-term engagements and long-term partnerships across a range of platforms.
Gifting product for consideration
Obviously, gifting product in exchange for digital mentions and coverage is the most popular and most common form of collaboration between an influencer in the fashion space and a fashion brand. Gifting is more of a PR activity and doesn't necessarily guarantee coverage, however, it is a good opportunity to introduce an influencer to your brand and test the waters on what a working relationship could look like. The other benefit of a gifting arrangement is that it is low cost to the brand, and there is potential to rapidly spread brand awareness and exposure and ultimately saturate the market with lots of consumer touchpoints.
The standard outfit post
An outfit post usually involves an influencer using an item or items in an outfit and promoting the brand by creating content with the product. An outfit post is usually a negotiated agreement between the brand and influencer to openly include the garments in an image (with tags) that is shared on a particular platform, or across platforms. This collaboration can either be paid or in exchange for product (contra agreement) depending on negotiations made between both parties.
Create a lookbook
Creating a lookbook in collaboration with a brand is a great opportunity for vloggers and bloggers as this entails the styling of multiple outfits from the one brand and creating a series of imagery around the brand and product/s. Consider focusing on a particular theme or style when creating a lookbook with an influencer so the imagery works really well together and a similar style is used throughout. Some examples of lookbook themes could be high fashion, summer holiday and festival style, or it could focus on a particular colour palette or trend.
Try-on haul video
If you are planning on sending a Youtube influencer a range of products, suggest a try-on haul video on their channel for the influencer engagement. This has become an extremely popular option for many brand and influencer collaborations as it allows the influencer to have creative freedom to style the items the way they would naturally wear them, and also show their followers the true look and fit of the piece. Vloggers have a great relationship with their followers and audience, and their content is super engaging, so this is a great way to get involved and collaborate.
If you need a little more convincing to work out if a try-on haul is something your should consider for your influencer strategy, have a read of our blog post on what they are and how they can benefit you.
SnapChat collaboration
Whilst it is hard to track analtics, referrals and conversions on a SnapChat influencer campaign, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered, especially in the fashion industry. SnapChat is the latest social media trend, and users are flocking to the platform in the hundreds of thousands. In fact, SnapChat now has more users than Twitter! The best part about a SnapChat collaboration is that it is a personal interaction between the influencer and their audience, and has potential to convert big numbers when used effectively.
When working with an influencer on SnapChat, it is a good idea to give them a unique discount code to share so you can track sales conversions from their audience and evaluate the ROI. Ultimately, SnapChat is a new platform for influencer marketing, and it presents a great opportunity for brands and influencers alike, so jump on board and test a number of different strategies.
For more information on how brands can use SnapChat in their social media marketing strategy, check out How Can Brands Use SnapChat And What Are The Benefits here.
Style them for an event
This is a particularly popular choice when it comes to celebrity fashion influencers, especially during local, national and international fashion weeks. Get your brand out there by styling and dressing an influencer for the event, or perhaps send them some options from your brand to consider wearing. This strategy is a win for two reasons: 1. their audience will no doubt see their outfit for the event when they post about it across their platforms, and 2. the reach of this collaboration extends to the general public as a result of event coverage in the media. When styling an influencer or celebrity for an event, ensure the outfit fits with their personal style and aesthetic for the best results. This could be the start of a long relationship with the influencer!
Engage them as a brand ambassador
For a long-term partnership engage an influencer to be your brand ambassador. This could mean a contractual agreement and may include (ut is not limited to) sections on exclusivity, promotional activities and KPIs. Engaging influencers to be a brand ambassador is great for authenticity and helps build conversions and referrals over time through repetition and the influencers genuine love of the brand. It also presents an opportunity to not only build a relationship with the influencer, but also their engaged followers and audience.

Employ influencers to be your product model
Fashion brands need product models for their website, catalogue, social media content and marketing materials, so why not employ an influencer to be your model (many influencers actually work as models to complement their income). It is a great opportunity to share your brand organically with their followers, connect a well known personality to your brand (much like a brand ambassador) and you'll have create product imagery you can share across your platforms. When employing an influencer to be your product model, always work with someone who is a good fit for your brand's style and your target customers demographics.
The in-house role
Could you make an influencer part of your team? Hiring them can actually work really well for your brand, and will, of course, lead to a long-term partnership, or something temporary but fulfilling for both parties involved. If you know, or have previously worked with, an influencer who understands your brand and aligns with your vision, get them to join and support your team across one area or a number of areas including product design, buying, merchandising, styling, content creation and campaign implementation. Fashion influencers have a unique skill set across platforms, from blogging and content creation to communication and even trend forecasting, plus, they know your target market inside and out (because it is likely the same as their own audience). Allow them to bring their experience to an in-house role and watch them take your business to the next level.
Design a capsule collection
We have seen this collaboration time and time again, where an influencer designs or curates a capsule collection for the brand, which is then sold across their platforms as the "influencer" for "brand" collection. It's similar to the role of a creative director or project manager, and basically entails working closely with an influencer to produce a product, or a collection, that will be available to the public.Why get an influencer involved in this process? Because they will share the collaboration across their platforms and drive sales, and they will likely spread awareness and coverage through their industry and media connections.
In terms of compensation, there are a number of different options to consider, so it is best to have and honest and upfront conversation and find an arrangement that works for everyone. It could be a one-off design fee, or commission based once the product/collection launches.
Here are 10 ways fashion brands can work with influencers across their digital marketing strategy, but it's not the only 10 ways. Get creative and combine what you need, with what an influencer can bring to the table and dream up a collaboration that is mutually beneficial and ultimately drives a successful ROI.

Thank you so much to Lucy for doing a wonderful job and for making the whole process easy and quick. I was worried about the pain as I've heard the underarm is one of the most painful areas to do it on, but it was completely fine. I was debating between the underarm and on the side of waist but the arm won. I think when it comes to the waist, I feel like it would have to be a longer piece which would be quite big. For my first tattoo I didn't want it to be too big. Overall the pain felt a little bit like a cat scratching you. It was just irritating after a while.
So meet Rose... or do you think she looks more like an Elizabeth? Comment below your name suggestions!

If you are planning on getting this kind of service, then allow this article to teach you the right way to get what you want. So, this only means one thing as of the moment. This signifies that you need to read this source all the way through despite your busy schedule. That is simply how things should be.
First, have full knowledge on how much your prospects are going to put you at risk. You have to stop seeing tree service Kansas City outlets as gods. They have their own flaws and that is something that you ought to acquire from your assignment. Thus, stop being such a lazy bum at this point in your life.
Second, make sure that you only have legal prospects with you. Before they provide you with any strategy, require them to present their license first. If you can get that detail in the open first, then you will not be having any problems along the way. When that happens, then you can finally have the kind of convenience that you deserve.
Third, take a look at the safety items that they are using when they are in the field. If you have seen that they are well protected from head to foot, then you are prohibited from forgetting these people. If your memory is something that you cannot rely on all the time, then have a notebook for this task.
Demand that the estimate be given to you in the soonest time possible. You are not being a difficult customer in this way. You are just speeding up your screening process and no prospect should question you for that. That is simply how life should flow for all of you. If your candidates are not willing to comply, then remove from your list.
You are not allowed to give any down payment. Keep in mind that all of you would be involved in a long term project. If you would give an incentive to your employees right now, then they would have the nerve to leave you at this early stage. Thus, you would have to take certain measures to prevent that from happening to you.
You would have to know every step that your prospects would take in this project. Allow them to provide you with a small presentation when you are talking to them. If you have been satisfied with what they have prepared for you, then you can already turn them into one of your shortlisted candidates.
Have all the patience that you can muster. You are not going to be done with this process since you still have to wait for the estimates. You will just have to beat them to the best of your abilities.
Overall, work with people who truly have knowledge on what they are doing. Amateurs are not the people whom you should be including in the equation. They are not deserving to be under your employment. Always put that inside your head as a client.

If you hate going to the dentist, here's some good news. New research published online in The FASEB Journal, shows that melanocortin agonism may effectively control the inflammation that often occurs in gum tissue, which when unchecked, ultimately accelerates tooth and bone loss. This research involving mice, opens the door to a new class of treatments for gum disease.
"Controlling inflammation during gum disease is a key step to avoid alveolar bone resorption, tooth loss and, thus, improve the quality of life of patients," said Mila Madeira, Ph.D., a researcher involved in the work from the Department of Microbiology at the Biologic Science Institute at the Universidad Federal de Minas Gerais in Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil.
To make their discovery, Madeira and colleagues used several groups of mice. The first group was infected with bacteria related to gum disease and then treated them with a melanocortin agonist. The second group had no infection. The third group was infected, but not treated. The final group was infected but treated with a placebo. Melanocortin agonism was associated with reduced alveolar bone resorption and less inflammation, a critical feature to be controlled in gum diseases.
"Attenuation of the inflammatory axis of periodontal pathology cannot be overstated in its importance ," said Thoru Pederson, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal. "These findings provide an entirely new approach to this highly prevalent condition."

After slight break from blogging, I'm back! Here is the newest addition to the Style File Group, The Daily Cheat Sheet-- where I will be updating you with the latest news in the Fashion Business for your reading enjoyment.
(WSJ) Talbots Politely Shows Granny the Door
"After spending last year atop the retail death-watch list, Talbots Inc. is now a favorite on Wall Street, thanks to cost cuts and a complex financial arrangement for unloading its enormous debt. Chief Executive Trudy Sullivan is attempting to refocus on women 35 and older. Talbots, known for classic apparel targeted at the middle- and upper-class suburban set, still has work to do. Its image had gotten so old that in a customer survey a couple of years ago, women 65 years of age and older said the brand was for "someone older," says Ms. Sullivan. Making a brand younger is notoriously tricky: Talbots must make its clothes more youthful without alienating its core customers during the transition, and it has to persuade a new swath of women in their 30s and 40s to consider shopping there.Talbots has stepped up its fashion quotient, with offerings that include a sequin-trimmed sweater and leopard-print-lined black booties. So far, it has had some hits and misses. Last spring, "ethnic" prints in bright colors including orange and lime green misfired."
(WWD) Macy's Swings to 1st-Qtr. Profit
"Macy's inc announced Wednesday that it's profits rose to it's highest point since the recession. Sales totaled $5.57 billion an increase of 7.2% over last years %5.2 billion while comp store sales rose 5.5%. Even Macy's online sales were up 34% since last quarter."
(NYT) Discount Store Is New York Beachhead for Nordstrom
"After more than a century, Nordstrom, the upscale department store chain from Seattle, will make its Manhattan debut on Tuesday. Expect 25,000 pairs of discounted shoes, and an automated checkout line more at home in a supermarket than a purveyor of luxury goods. Like any other Nordstrom Rack, though, only about 25 percent of the merchandise comes from full-line Nordstrom stores. And with the luxury retail business improving, Nordstrom stores have been turning over inventory more quickly than ever."
(WWD) Urban Outfitters, Kohl's on the Rise
"The retail rebound appeared to be alive and well Thursday morning as Urban Outfitters Inc. and Kohl's Corp. both beat first-quarter expectations, posting double-digit gains on both the top and the bottom lines. Urban Outfitter's earnings jumped 72 percent to $53 million and Kohl's net income rose 45.3 percent to $199 million.Kohl's also boosted its full-year profit projections. The chain now expects to earn $3.57 to $3.75 a share, up from the $3.40 to $3.63 previously predicted."
(WWD) Warnaco Posts Net Gain, Ups Guidance
"The Warnaco Group Inc. on Monday posted a 27.7 percent increase in first-quarter profits and raised fiscal 2010 guidance. Joe Gromek, president and chief executive officer, said, "Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the prospects for our company….In addition to powerful brands, Warnaco possesses a highly efficient business model, an established global infrastructure and an experienced leadership team." He said in 2010, the company will continue to focus on global expansion and "opportunities to expand our direct operation through strategic acquisitions of key distribution and franchise partners.""
(The Frisky)Chanel Cruises Through Saint-Tropez With Playful Fashion Show
"With a sidewalk outside a patisserie as a makeshift runway, there was nothing theatrically lacking about Chanel's cruise 2011 fashion show presented yesterday in the jet-setter's paradise of Saint-Tropez, France. Karl Lagerfeld substituted his usual black suit for a shiny purple ensemble (but kept the fingerless gloves, bien sûr), models approached the runway by yacht, and teen fashion sensation Georgia Jagger supposedly snuck out of the house to walk in the show, finishing it off with a motorcycle ride down the boardwalk.

Free Sahaja Yoga Meditation programs in Coquitlam, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam
But the second very bad curse of the Western acquisition instinct is that they want to acquire, aggress, others. Aggression, the aggressiveness. They think they have a right to aggress other countries, I mean they aggressed our country for three hundred years. Why? Why did they aggress? We are not bad people. Because we had gold, we had diamonds, we had pearls, we had lots of things which were just material things for which they aggressed us, and they didn't take any spirituality from India. So the French aggressed, these aggressed, all the time aggressing. Japanese are also following you.
This aggression then moves the whole society into a very destructive force. You can see every day the wars are going on, this is fighting that, that is fighting that, they want this, they want that. And this aggression has also penetrated the developing countries, the third world also. So, nicely the disease is on.
But Kundalini kills that acquisition. How? By giving you joy. You enjoy everything. You are sitting in a jungle, you are enjoying, here in uncomfortable conditions, you enjoy because you seek the comfort of your spirit, because that gives you joy – ultimately that's what you get out of everything. You think you get joy by acquisition; you do not. But through Kundalini awakening you get that joy, and in that joy you don't want anything, you don't ask for anything; you just enjoy yourself; you are the property of enjoyment. Sanskrit they say, "Atmanyeva atmane ahrushta" – "The Spirit is satisfied by its own spirit."
So into small things you must see joy, and you must watch it, the whole universe, with that thing. I mean when I am traveling I'll ask, "What is this tree?" "Mother, we don't know." "Well, you lived here for so many years, you don't know?" "No Mother, we don't know much about trees." I say, "What are these flowers?" "We don't know." I mean what are you doing, what have you been doing, you don't know what are the trees, every day you watch them; you don't know what is the tree is?
But if you ask them, "Where do you get this wine?" they will know. "Mother, this is the place where they produced the best wines." "All right, I'll see to it." And next year they had no fermentation.
So, this is the acquisition instinct which is very, sort of a, which becomes a political asset that you go and aggress other countries, aggress other people and use all kinds of things; and that really is killing. So the whole attitude of human beings changes, they think we are the Lord, we can hate anyone, we can aggress anyone, we could be arrogant with anyone, we can demand anything, we can take away anybody's wife, take away anybody's child, take away anything, we can kill our children. As a result the love is lost; no question of compassion. Love is lost, compassion is lost; no love.
And with that you also developed "my" and "mine", sense of "my and mine" – is that this is my child, this is my country, this is… As you know in Yugoslavia what they are doing. I don't know who gave the name of Yugo, Yugo means Yoga. This is the Yoga people, fighting among themselves. This has come from the same root that, "This is mine, this is my country". Why? How is it your country? You can't create one leaf, so who are you? You can't create little mud, can you? How do you say, "This is my country?" How dare? This all belongs to God. He has created, or you can say Adi Shakti has created. You have not created even so much; how do you say, "This is mine and I should have it?" So the "my" and "mine" thing also develops, very strong. And the same thing happens with, sometimes, Sahaja Yogis, very much. "My children", this is the first curse. "These are my children, my wife, my family", it starts growing like that.
Then the heart shrinks. For a large-hearted man the whole world is the universe, the whole thing is within, the whole thing is yours. When such a heart you experience within yourself then Kundalini just shoots off because, as you know, the Sahasrara is the Heart Chakra. No question of Sahasrara catching if you have a large heart. And to keep the Sahasrara open – is just develop that sense, that wisdom, that: "Nobody's mine, everybody belongs to God. Who is mine? Whatever God wants, let Him do."
So get out of this small feeling. Sahaja Yogis do, I must say, I have seen it. They get confined to their families. "My son hasn't got Realization, my brother hasn't got Realization, my this thing." After that it moves, when they get Realization, "This is my son, my brother, my sister, this thing." This "my" has to drop, which is very, very subtle thing, and that's why the Sahasrara catches. Everyone is yours because the Kundalini of Sahaja Yogis is made of love, pure love. The pure love has only pure desire, is to love, love everyone equally. When you say it is difficult that means you are not trying Sahaja Yoga.
Enlarge your heart; you'll never feel lost. To Me, when I was leaving England I was really, little bit, I mean happens like that, like a moon sucks in the sea, you see, I felt My heart was just pulled out, but I reach here, again I see My children waiting for Me, so it's over, finished. It's there I felt, now here I feel that pull of My heart was released. You are also My children here and they are also My children. For a Mother like this, how can I say, "Oh, say this is Mine, this is Mine?" So like this, try to break away from this conditioning. First, in the West people don't care for family; they'll divorce ten times and advertise it, "I am tenth time divorced lady." Now they don't divorce but so get attached with their family, with their husbands; like glue I tell you, like glue. Sometimes I start wondering, "What have I done to make them like this?"
So now it is important to see these points, and ultimately the heart is the Sahasrara, or you can call the Brahmarandra, then we have to come to heart. Do not reason out, do not argue it out, don't work it out mentally from books or anywhere, but through your heart, if you work it out, you'll understand that nothing is more important than to love someone. And the highest thing is to love everyone equally.
