From hundreds of entries all over the USA, fewer than 50 projects were chosen as winners for the 2017 GDUSA Students Design Award. One of those selected was the "PAL" campaign, focusing on childhood exposure to violence awareness. The campaign was was created by Kelsey Harmon, Eldersburg, MD, Jared Shuey, Northhampton, PA, and Emily White, York, PA, for their Junior Design Studio II class, taught by Pam Barby, Chair of Graphic Design.
This competition recognizes the growing influence of schools on the shape of design, media, and culture...as well as the growing sophistication of design students and the outstanding work they do.
This work will appear onhttp://gdusa.com/ for an entire year. This is GDUSA's 54th year in publication.
Congratulations Kelsey, Jared and Emily!

It's been raining all day today...not all the grapes have yet been harvested in the Napa Valley so this is not a good thing for grapes but it is nice for those of us who have done some fall planting.
But, today, from Noon until 6 p.m., it is Dog Fest at Sports Basement in Walnut Creek.
Until 4 p.m. there are adoptions, vendors, dog photographs, a best Halloween costume contest, an agility course, and even a substantial discount on purchases. At 4 p.m., they will be screening Sniff, the Dog Movie, with a discussion with the producer afterwards.
By the way, Sports Basement is our favorite place for gear for all sports as well as for casual clothing. A Bay Area local chain of just 4 stores, Sports Basement offers discounted prices on first quality items...everything from running shoes to yoga gear, to bicycles, to snowboarding equipment, to energy bars and supplements, and on and on. And, they are good neighbors to their community, helping out at local sporting events, hosting in store parties for just about any local group, offering free classes in everything from CPR to yoga to running.
So, we packed Louie up, with his Halloween Jester Collar on, for a photo and some fun.
Fun he had...in fact, a bit too much fun as he was the first to pee on the floor, although others followed suit, so I guess that just does with the territory. The Sports Basement staff was very gracious throughout.
Local vet techs, who also moonlight by pet sitting, took photos of the dogs. The first 50 dogs got free photos...very nice.
Here are a few more pictures of dogs in costume, enjoying the party.
This ladybug was very well behaved and very popular.
Fairy Princess held court wherever she could.
And, this guy really does go out backpacking with his owner and this is his real gear.
This young lady was a vision in pink while her mom shopped.

Jimmy Buffett came through town this past weekend for his annual show in the Bay Area. This year's tour is called "Under The Big Top"
As always Jimmy was in great form, even though it was drizzling through part of the show (not on Jimmy though, but certainly on us) and it was cold enough out that Jimmy was wearing jeans rather than his usual shorts...the man is no fool at 62, almost 63!
And, the Giants won on Saturday night, too...right before the concert started. In fact, Jimmy came out on stage in a Giants Jacket to tell us the good news.
So for three glorious hours, we enjoyed an ever-entertaining show, with little time in our seats...After all, you have to be up dancing with everyone else.
This year, Ruth and I had new additions to our usual getups of hula skirts, Margaritaville tee shirts, and a variety of jewelry: We had new Parrothead hats!
Chris and Rob, who went with us this year, dressed a bit more conservatively, but did not seem too embarrassed to be with us.
While there were other Parrot and Shark heads in the crowd, we only saw two others with hats like ours...oh, and it kept our heads warm too!
Here's a closer look at the amazing Parrot Head!
Looking forward to next time, Jimmy!

Swim A Mile 2010: I did it for the 13th Time!
Last Saturday, I swam a mile at Mills College in Oakland for the Women's Cancer Resource Center (WCRC) in Oakland California's annual Swim A Mile for Women with Cancer.
This was my 13th time to do the swim and it marked 13 years since my own Cancer diagnosis.
So far, I've raised nearly $2900 for the WCRC, thanks to the very generous donations to sponsor me by friends and family.
WCRC provides resources and support to women in the Bay Area, and to their friends and families. A diagnosis of Cancer leads to a confusing maze of doctors, health insurance, employment issues, and general chaos to even the most savvy of people. WCRC helps women through this maze and charges NOTHING for its services. The Swim A Mile is its major fund raiser: Two days of swimming at the beautiful MIlls College Pool.
Here are some of my photos from my Saturday swim which I did with Harriet.
This year I swam in Honor of nearly 40 people and in Memory of nearly 20. There is a wall at the pool on which to post the names for whom we swim. These are my names and Harriet's. I've posted closer pictures of those I swam for at the end of this blog post.
This is another wall posting by a more artistic swimmer, with possibly more people for whom she was swimming.
Here's Harriet before her swim, standing by the wall.
My good friend and swim buddy, Pat, had already finished her swim when I was just getting in; this is her 10th swim.
Judy came along to cheer Pat on and to be her official photographer.
This was Harriet's 5th Swim and, as expected, she had a glorious finish.
Each swimmer has her own lane counter. This lovely lady counted for both Harriet and me because we swam in the same lane.
Signs are posted around the pool that tell the stories of people whom WCRC has helped and supported.
As always, there is a continuous assortment of wonderful food to keep all swimmers, their fans, and the many WCRC volunteers and staff well nourished.
One of the many booths at the Swim A Mile was a hand craft booth where people were fabricating Happy Cells...a fun way to wage war on Cancer cells.
For as long as I can remember, Ali has been the one to organize the entire Swim A Mile. This year was no exception. She was here, there, and everywhere for both days of the event.
An Honor Roll of repeat Swim A Mile swimmer lists the names and the number of years they've swum.
These are the people in whose memory I swam:
These are the people in whose honor I swam:

URBANA, Ill., October 2, 2018
On Friday, September 28, 2018, AgReliant Genetics attended the University of Illinois – College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) open house celebrating the completion of multiple renovated and newly constructed facilities on the Urbana-Champaign campus.
The open house highlighting the university's new Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory, Turner Hall transformation, and the renovated Food Science and Human Nutrition Pilot Processing Plant, provided attendees with the opportunity to learn more about the broad range of research and learning in the College of ACES through facilities that bridge the gap between scientific discovery and industry application.
A recent financial contribution from AgReliant Genetics supported the completion of the land grant university's Turner Hall Transformation Project. This gift was made tangible by the unveiling of the new AgReliant Genetics classroom in Turner Hall on Friday.
The Turner Hall transformation project updated the building into a 21st-century learning environment. The three-floor renovation included updated classrooms and teaching laboratories built to facilitate collaboration and inspire students taking classes in crop sciences, natural resources and environmental sciences, and other ACES majors.
"At AgReliant Genetics, we work to support a culture of learning and involvement and create a positive impact through meaningful investments in our communities," said Craig Anderson, COO, speaking on behalf of AgReliant Genetics at the donor appreciation luncheon. "Supporting the University of Illinois College of Ag's commitment to teaching, research, and extension while sponsoring the recent Turner Hall transformation was a great opportunity for us to invest in tomorrow's seed industry innovators and leaders. We appreciate what the Turner Hall transformation represents for the future of our industry and we look forward to finding new ways to work together."

Soaring Hawk Residents Take Full Advantage of Park City's Nearby Offerings
Posted by Super Admin on Friday, June 29th, 2018 at 4:39pm.
We like to think of Christiane Hartley and Ken Block as quintessential residents of Hideout, Utah. The youthful and energetic, senior couple brought their lust for life from Marblehead, Massachusetts to Park City in 2005. For several years, they resided in an estate-style home and then decided to downsize by purchasing a townhome at The Rustler, a neighborhood in Hideout Canyon. As Park City continued to grow, the couple discovered that Hideout offered solitude without sacrificing proximity to the year-round recreation and culture the world-class mountain resort town offers. And just as importantly, they fell head over heels with the views that are hard to rival anywhere in Park City. The snow-capped mountains of Deer Valley and Mount Timpanogos, coupled with the pristine water of the Jordanelle Reservoir, captivated them. As long-time sailing enthusiasts, they also appreciate being so close to the lake when Park City's magical summers roll around.
The latest issue of Hideout Platinum real estate magazine reveals how Christiane and Ken came to build their luxury custom home in the newer community. They were looking for more than a Park City real estate investment; it was the ultimate lifestyle they sought as primary residents. In essence, they missed the outdoor entertaining space and other features of having a single-family residence when living in their townhouse. However, Christiane and Ken desired a home size that would be more manageable than what they previously had in Park City. Click HERE to read about their stunning, modern home at Soaring Hawk and the story behind it.
There are many attributes of Park City that make them tick. Ken from Brooklyn and Christiane from Montreal maintain engaged, active lifestyles in this mountain paradise. They will never be accused of not taking full advantage of everything Park City has to offer.
What are your favorite local activities?
Ken: The golf in this area is ridiculously good. Park City is an International Mountain Biking Association Gold Spoke community. The community service we provide through the Park City Sailing program….we are recreating at the same time we are giving back. In the winter, we are nine minutes to Deer Valley for skiing and trails for fat tire snow biking. I also do that during the winter with the National Ability Center. I ride during the winter with the same population I sail with during the summer.
Christiane: We also have great dog parks and trails.
What are your favorite events in Park City?
Ken: The Deer Valley concerts. Savor the Summit – either participating or people watching. Sometimes I think the people-watching is even better. The 4th of July parade, which we participate in and have won twice with Park City Sailing Club.
Where do you like to dine?
Christiane: Tupelo is one of our top picks. Shoyu for sushi. Ganesh, the new Indian restaurant, is really good. We like 350 Main as well for their small plates. We don't go out much because in the winter there are a lot of tourists, and in the summer we eat on our deck. We are members of Jeremy Ranch Golf and Country Club, and you finish playing golf and just eat there.
Ken: Also Mariposa at Dear Valley Resort, which is seasonal.
Can you describe some of the neighbors you have gotten to know?
Christiane: When we were living at The Rustler, we had neighbors who moved there from Park City as well as from out of state. They were mostly like us – a little older, retired, some of them still working. A lot of them try to connect with the Park City community by getting involved with local non-profits, of which there are many.
Contact us today to learn about how you can experience the joys of Soaring Hawk home ownership and its lifestyle that continually mesmerizes Christiane and Ken.
Where do you like to shop?
Ken: For food, we are all over the place. Convenience is Food Town in Kamas. For cheese and crack bread, The Market.
What are your favorite local products?
Christiane: Red Bicycle Bread, Beehive Cheese, All things High West Distillery, Creminelli meats, and Morgan Valley Lamb.
Are there non-profits you are particularly fond of?
Ken: Park City Sailing, and we respect many others.

In many applications, artificial lift systems are required to handle a high gas volume fraction (GVF) at the pump intake. This high GVF could be a result of gas evolving out of reservoir fluids or steam breaking-through during SAGD production, and it usually results in some reduction in the pump performance.
There is a growing industry need to better understand how free gas and/or live steam at the intake affects the ability of the pump to deliver the required flow rate at a specified discharge pressure or differential pressure. In response to this need, C-FER designed and built a multiphase flow loop capable of testing artificial lift systems under high-GVF conditions. This flow loop is unique in its ability to handle tests with water, air, and live steam (or combinations thereof) at relatively high temperatures and pressures. It also allows for temperature and pressure monitoring via specialized high-resolution instrumentation at each pump stage.

Rebecca and Richard contacted me (Tracie) a few short months before their wedding by finding me via instagram from a photo they saw of the space. They were notified that their previously booked venue was no longer going to be doing weddings and they needed to find a new location stat! When I heard this news I went to work fast to see if the date was available at The Jam Handy and they were in luck! Luckily, the invitations hadn't been printed yet so it was just a matter of moving a few things around to the new perfect space to have their wedding! They were both happy that I was able to help secure the new location so they could continue with their planing. The couple hired You're The Bride for Day-of and Rehearsal Coordination for their July wedding.
The YTB Team arrived to The Jam Handy to work on preparing the centerpieces which consisted of hydrangeas in mason jars, setting up cupcakes, programs, various signs and of course the clothes pin magnets which included the guests table assignments which we arranged on a door for guests to easily find after the ceremony. Later in the evening my staff made popcorn and placed it in cute little boxes for the guests to enjoy!
While YTB Interns Lisa and Lindsay were finishing handling some of the set up details Tracie was busy greeting vendors and going over final details to make sure everything was ready.
The couple rented farm tables and mismatched chairs and benches for their Vintage themed wedding with touches of Detroit brought in including vintage Faygo soda pop bottles! I thought the paper towel on each table was exactly what the guests were going to need when they enjoyed the Pig Roast and BBQ food for dinner. Brilliant!
The Jam is a very unique and raw space where everything has to be brought in. It is however convenient as it is large enough to offer a separate ceremony area.
The vows!
The new Mr. and Mrs. after their beautiful ceremony!
What an amazing shot taken on Belle Isle at the famous fountain !
Look at them I totally think this one is magazine worthy!
Their beloved dog Max even was part of the festivities!
The dance floor got a little crazy but fun with the Arabic music and the money dance! It was quite fun to watch!
The First Dance!
The guests getting down on the dance floor!
Congratulations Rebecca and Richard!
You're The Bride is so happy to have been part of your special day!

The series of intensely covered noisy protests at state capitols in Madison and Columbus brought back vivid memories for me of those who repeatedly threatened during the 1980s to take over the governor's reception area, yes, the reception area.
During my service as the press secretary to former California Governor George Deukmejian, you could always count on one group or another to take over the governor's reception area at least once, if not twice a week. Wonder how I ever slept at night?
And if you are thinking that occupying state capitols and governor's reception areas only impacts GOP chief executives, keep in mind that our Democratic predecessor (successor?) by the name of Jerry Brown installed nicely varnished, but highly uncomfortable benches in the waiting area to discourage long-term visits. These benches were not very forgiving for reclining and sitting tushies.
The Theatre of the Absurd would play out each week in the following fashion. Let's say a group with a clear (mis)understanding between the responsibilities of the federal and state governments decides to go to Sacramento (of all places) and demand that the US get out of Central America. Hint: Sacramento is nowhere near Washington, D.C. in terms of location, authority or infinite wisdom.
You see there was this irritating guy by the name of Daniel Ortega and his Sandinistas (and just like Jerry Brown, he is still there) that were waving red flags in Nicaragua and getting the executive branch so mad that they even sent a Marine Colonel down to the White House basement to lead the fight against them. What was the name of that colonel? Hmmm…
Anyway, the "US Out of Central America" crowd would call the always receptive and easily excitable Capitol Press Corps in Sacramento and say that they were going to occupy the governor's reception area if they don't get to see the governor. Of course, they never called and asked for an appointment in the first place. Details, details.
So the time would come and the protesters would arrive with the cameras and newsies coming along and demand to the always affable and she-has-seen-every-nut-case-more-than-once receptionist Jackie Habacker Grunwald that they must see the governor. Jackie would then ask politely if they had an appointment…"Appointment, we don't need no stinking appointment." And then the theatre performance would ensue.
My phone would soon be ringing inside the governor's press office, about 25 feet away from the reception area and the first of several media calls would breathlessly announce that the governor's reception area was being taken over.
And I would reply: "Again? How many times has it been this week?"
Reporter: "Will the governor see them?"
Me: "Do they have an appointment?"
Reporter: "So the governor is not going to see them?"
Me: "If he did, what should he do? The presence of US forces overseas is a responsibility of the federal government. Alas, we are just a mere nation-state."
Reporter: "Well, I guess they are going to seize the reception area."
Me: "And let me tell you what is going to happen. At five minutes to six, the state police are going to announce that the governor's office is closing in five minutes and they will ask the protesters to leave…"
Reporter: "Ah…uh…"
Me: "And then at 6 pm, the state police are going to politely announce that the governor's office is closed, so please depart…"
Reporter" "Ya…"
Me: "And then at 6:05 pm, the state police will announce that anyone who does not leave will be escorted out, cited and eventually released, which is exactly what the protesters want…and guess what?"
Reporter: "What?"
Me: "You get to cover it all because you are being used."
Reporter: "Used!"
Me: "And then you will call me next week when the next group comes in and demands to see the governor because of Paraquat spraying of marijuana or whatever, and then they will take over the reception area…and you get to cover that charade as well. Get the picture."
Even though my attitude was sarcastic and some may even say jaded, the key point is to not overreact because that is what the protesters want. The public will eventually tire of these tactics and tune them out. Stick to your principles and ride it out. And remember when it comes to democracy: it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Trade-marks: Ensure that your brand is distinctive, not descriptive
A stylized check mark or "swoosh"; a red bulls-eye target; rounded golden arches shaped like the letter "M": an easily recognizable trade-mark is one of the most important assets a business can have. It helps create brand loyalty and goodwill among customers and can raise a business' profile and ultimately, its profit. In an increasingly globalized world where brand recognition and customer loyalty are paramount, protecting one's trade-marks is crucial.
Patents, Trade-marks, and Copyrights as Collateral
Property that a borrower has pledged as security in a transaction is often referred to as collateral. Your intellectual property ('IP') rights are assets that can be used as collateral for financing your business through a secured transaction. Historically, borrowers and lenders only used land as collateral. However, as the economic base of society shifted, other types of property acquired value, and borrowers and lenders began to recognize its worth as collateral.
Trademark Protection for Domain Names
A domain name is an address that is used to identify and find web pages on the Internet. A business' domain name is central to the web-based activities that it conducts. Trademark registration is the most effective way of protecting your website domain name and many businesses register domain names that contain their trademarks.
A New Threat to the Rights of Trademark Owners
Do you know that a typical Internet domain name consists of two parts? In view of the vast number of potential new gTLDs, trademark owners should be concerned that one or more of these proposed new domains might infringe their trademarks.
IP News Flash – ".xxx" domain names are coming!
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), announced in 2011 that the domain name ".xxx" is now available for registration. This means the public (e.g. the adult entertainment industry) could register your company name under .xxx.
"Good Faith" – How Good Must It Be?
Paragraph 73(1)(a) of the Patent Act deems a Canadian patent application to be abandoned if the applicant does not reply in good faith to any requisition made by an examiner during an Office Action. An issued patent could also be retroactively voided by operation of this subsection if and when challenged in a court of law.
Canadian Patent and Trademark Practice Changes
This article lists a number of changes in the practice of Canadian Patents and Trademarks, which came into effect in 2007. Wing Yan describes how these changes will affect clients, their fees, guidelines, and time limits among others.
Ensuring Continued Access to the American Market: The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism Initiative (C-TPAT)
For years, the US and Canada have been working together on measures to enhance border security without hindering the flow of trade. The tension between security and the free flow of goods goals was never more evident than immediately after the September 11 attacks. Canadian exporters remember all too well the miles-long tie-ups at border crossings across the continent.
Patenting computer software: can it be done and if so, how?
The matter of software patents has been an interesting topic among intellectual property professionals. Some readers may have been under the impression that a computer program, per se, is not patentable.
Canadian – U.S. Patent Dancing in Closer Harmony
It seems, for the time being, Canadian practitioners may be able to dance closer in harmony with our neighbouring counterparts. Since many of the changes will affect Canadian patent practitioners, a summary of the new law is provided in this article.

Stats for the Grayhound and Ground Zero as they've appeared on Tipify
A list of recent matches this team has played, green indicates a win and red a loss. Blue is a draw/cancelled
Although Grayhound failed to impress us in IEM Shanghai 2018, tomorrow they will be back at ESL Australia & New Zealand Championship Season 7 were they are certainly amongst the favorites.
Ground Zero most recent matches were a badly showing of the team that should be on the brink of separation at this point. It's clear that kyoto isn't able to compete amongst other teams in the professional level of their region and there's some heavy flaws overall with the team tactics.
Grayhound in the other hand wasn't able to pull the same upsets they did in IEM Sydney last week but they are coming in full confidence for this match as they are clearly the better team. 'Dexter' is the highest rated player coming in this match and there's no match for his skill in Ground Zero.
We do recommend a bet on Grayhound for this match.

Violence marred the beginning of 2018 for Mumbai, Pune and other parts of Maharashtra after a Dalit died in clashes during the bicentenary celebrations of the historic 1818 battle of Bhima-Koregaon on Jan 1.
Here is everything that you need to know about the Bhima-Koregaon violence:
1. On Jan 1, 2018, members of the Dalit community from across Maharashtra gathered in Koregaon Bhima village in Pune to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Bhima Koregaon battle.
2. It was the last Anglo-Maratha war fought at Koregaon on the banks of Bhima river on Jan 1, 1818. In the battle, the British East India Company turned victorious over the Peshwa faction of the Maratha Confederacy.
3. The celebration is important for the Dalits as they believe a majority of soldiers in the British army were Mahar Dalits, who defeated the Peshwa Brahmins, who were their oppressors.
4. Clashes broke out on Jan 1, 2018 (Monday) when some right-wing groups in Pune opposed the celebration as they felt it was glorifying the British victory.
5. A Dalit, identified as Rahul Fatangade, was killed in the riots. Many were injured.
6. Rahul Fatangade's death added fuel to the Bhima-Koregaon violence and the protests spread outside Pune to Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra by Jan 2 (Tuesday).
7. In Mumbai, protests were reported at Priyadarshini, Kurla, Sidharth Colony and Amar Mahal areas on the Eastern Express Highway. Rallies were taken out against the government and administration. Transportation was hit due to the agitation.
8. Local train services, the lifeline of Mumbai, was also affected as protesters blocked tracks and stopped suburban services at the Govandi and Chembur railway stations of the Harbour Line.
9. Many shops remained closed across the city to avoid clashing with rioters.
10. In Tuesday's riots, as many as 20 buses of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) were damaged, including a stone pelting incident at a bus at Ramabai Ambedkar Nagar.
11. The Mumbai police appealed not to spread rumours about the incident on social media and verify facts with them.
12. Appealing for peace, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has assured the Dalit community that they will get justice and that a judicial probe into the incident has been ordered.
13. Congress president Rahul Gandhi tweeted: "A central pillar of the RSS/BJP's fascist vision for India is that Dalits should remain at the bottom of Indian society. Una, Rohith Vemula and now Bhima-Koregaon are potent symbols of the resistance."
14. Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh (BBM) leader Prakash Ambedkar had called for a Maharashtra bandh on Jan 3 (Wednesday) accusing the state government for failing to stop the Bhima Koregaon violence. He said the shutdown was supported by 250 Dalit groups, including Maharashtra Democratic Front and Maharashtra Left Front.

15. Nearly 21,000 security personnel were deployed in Mumbai itself to maintain law and order during the bandh. Additional forces were sent to other towns and cities of Maharashtra.
16. In Mumbai, trains were blocked at Ghatkopar, leading to delays on the Central Harbour lines.
17. As many as 13 BEST buses (the buses of Bombay Electric Supply And Transport Undertaking) were damaged.
18. Schools, colleges and offices remained open, However, school bus operators kept off roads as a precautionary measure.
19. Protests were reported at Nagpur, Pune and Baramati. News of arson came from several areas. There were violence at Aurangabad too.
20. Baramati, Sangli and Miraj towns observed a total shutdown. In Nagpur, most schools and markets remained closed.
21. Prohibitory orders banning large gatherings were imposed in Thane. Though slogan-shouting Dalit activists attempted rail blockade, it was foiled by security forces.
22. Prakash Ambedkar, who is incidentally Dalit icon BR Ambedkar's grandson, called off the strike at 4.30 pm on Wednesday.

DoubleDown. Big Fish. Slotomania. Hit It Rich! In the last few years we've seen a series of social casino games launched on the market. These can be played either through social networks, or as native apps on smartphones and tablets. They have thousands of fans all over the world – some because they have no other option (like in the US, for example), others because they perceive them as being a free alternative to real money gaming. This may come as a surprise for them: these games are not free. All the in-app purchases and the occasional ads shown inside the app make money for the publisher.
Isn't that a fair price to pay?
Well, of course it is. Developers have worked their bottoms off to offer this form of online entertainment to players. And I wouldn't have anything to say against them if there weren't other alternatives that are truly free, without the constant purchase incentives and ads. Namely real money gaming outlets like the Royal Vegas online casino.
But wait… you said "real money". How can it be free?
To be honest, the Royal Vegas Casino is not completely selfless when it offers its players a free version of its services. Initially, the whole "for fun" section was meant to serve as a way for new players to get familiar with how the real thing works without risking any of their money in the process. But later it became a way to attract more people enthusiastic about high quality games, which could later become paying customers – if they choose to. But this doesn't make the Royal Vegas Casino less free, or have a lower quality.
Why should I play there?
I've already mentioned the fact that there are no ads and no purchase incentives at the Royal Vegas Casino. The company has a completely different business model. But I have another argument: variety.
If you take a look at any of the above mentioned social casinos, you'll see that their game variety is quite limited. Even DoubleDown, which is run by a major international casino game developer, IGT, has just a handful of slot machines in its offer. Not to mention the fact that some apps require several of its games to be "unlocked".
The Royal Vegas Casino has no such limitations. Its desktop variant has hundreds of titles to choose from, and on mobile players can browse through over 100 games. And they don't need to download and install anything either – all the games run in a browser window. All they need to do is register an account, log on and choose "practice mode" when prompted, and dig into one of the largest mobile game library known to man. And all this for free.

The Khashoggi crisis will start to influence oil prices. According to CNBC, the CIA is expected by Tuesday to show President Donald Trump the evaluation that links the Saudi crown prince to the death of Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist. The market is still dubious that the death of the U.S. resident Khashoggi will affect the Saudi supply.
Despite shifting of stories multiple times, the steadiest aspect of their stories is the claim that Mohammed bin Salman had no hand in the murder of Khashoggi. The Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, Adel al-Jubeir, stated that the crown prince has nothing to do with the issue.
What Happened to Jamal Khashoggi?
Jamal Khashoggi, a 59-year old Washington, DC resident, is a journalist who was critical of the Saudi government. He was reported missing since October 2 by his fiancée after waiting for him for several hours. The last time the Washington Post columnist was spotted was at the main entrance of the Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey.
The journalist was still missing as of October 15 and a Turkish forensic group decided to visit the Saudi consulate to search for evidence. The next day despite Saudi leaders deliberately denying the accusation, a high-level Turkish official revealed proof that Khashoggi was killed there.
In the face of hindering the investigation for almost three weeks, the moment of truth emerged on Oct 20. Saudi Arabia, finally acknowledged that the well-known journalist and critic of the Saudi government was tortured and killed in the consulate. On October 23, Turkish Presidents Erdogan announced that those individuals involved in the killing should be tried in Turkey. Noted by Washington Post and NBC News, the assessment determines that Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi Crown Prince, commanded Saudi agents to do the slaying.
"Appropriate actions" against the suspects would be rendered, Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of the U.S. State who's said to visit the area to deal with the fallout from the case, cited. A press release on Thursday, Saudi public prosecutor mentioned that out of 21 individuals that had been detained, 11 suspects had been charged in the death of the journalist. He also emphasized that he had demanded the death penalty for the five of them. Their names remain unknown.
Global Oil Policy
Major oil manufacturers together with OPEC and Russia are expected to meet in Vienna, Austria. The group is considering a renewed round of production cuts after coordinating oil policy since 2017. This is the reason why US President Trump considered supporting Saudi Arabia and continues to cast doubt on the royal's role in the murder, in efforts to prevent financial pain in the U.S. from new oil supply caps.
The oil deliveries typically take six to seven weeks to touch U.S. coasts. By 2019, it's estimated that OPEC and its allies may expurgate output by approximately 1 million bpd. Also, as per Saudi energy minister Khalid Al-Falih, Saudi Arabia's oil consignments would fall by 500,000 barrels per day in December.
Cutting Oil Output
Cutting oil cargos to the US is an approach that increases prices and may enrage Trump, and Saudi Arabia started to load fewer barrels on ships bound for the United States since this November. The trend has been observed since last year, and the persistence of this action could ignite a new conflict with the U.S. government. It's believed that the U.S. oil imports from the Middle East might reach the lowest points on record.
As per the global head of commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets and a former intelligence analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency Helima Croft, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia will safeguard its economic benefit and will pursue the output cuts, instead of letting oil costs to slide down even more.

What is a holiday countdown?
A holiday countdown is a timer on your eCommerce store that is counting down to a specific holiday. In this case it would be letting customers know how many days, hours, and minutes are left until your summer holiday sale starts!
Summer holiday sales
After the rush of the winter holidays things tend to slow down in the eCommerce world. While shoppers tend to save money for holidays and other expenses, businesses tend to not make as much money. This is the perfect time to introduce a summer sale. You could set up a Canada Day sale, a July 4th sale, or even just a general percentage off for the summer. This can help you clear out some older inventory, bring in new stock and gain some new customers over the summer months.
How to add a holiday countdown
When you are on your dashboard you'll want to click on the '+ Pre-Built Skill' button. This will open a box that shows you all of the possible skills you can add to your eCommerce site. Search for the skill by typing 'timer' or scroll until you find the one called "Show Countdown Promo Bar'.
How to edit and customize the holiday countdown timer
Now comes the fun part-customizing your holiday countdown timer to look and act the way you want it to! The skill is divided into 5 tabs including what to show, where to show it, when to show it, who to show it to and the why tab for A/B testing.
What to show
This tab lets you choose what content to show to your customers. The first tab 'Content' allows you to customize a message, add a call to action button, enable/disable a close button, and customize the timer template. For the message we want to let customers know it's a discount for our July 4th weekend sale. Edit the text, but make sure to leave %TIMER% and %DISCOUNT_CODE% alone, as when the skill is live these will populate with the correct information automatically. Enabling or disbaling the close lets you decide whether to add a button to let customers close the banner or not. The timer template can be edited to show only hours, or exclude seconds depending on how you'd like the countdown to appear. You can also enable and disable a time-out message which displays once time is up.
The 'Behaviour' tab allows you to set a discount code and either manage it externally or manage it through your eCommerce store. You can also enable/disable the timer portion of the message. Use this tab to set the timer to run to a specific date/time or have a time limit from one a customer first sees it. You can enable or disable the time-out message here and also select the date and time the holiday countdown will run until.
'Design' tab allows you to edit the appearance of the holiday countdown bar. You can choose pre-designed themes or pick your own colours, font size and so on here. For those store owners with CSS background, or those who have developers they can add their own custom CSS or change the templates to work more specifically for their needs.
Where to show
This tab lets you decide where to show the content in your Shopify pages. You can choose the page or pages for the timer to show on. The default is to show on all store sections, but you can show them only on certain parts of your store if you'd like.
The 'Location on page" selector allows you to choose where the holiday countdown will appear. You can use the drop-down to choose for them to appear: right after, right before, beginning of, end of, or replace a certain section on your site. You can select the URL to appear, but by default it'll take your site URL. Clicking this button will show a pop-up explaining how to use the selector. Hover your mouse on your site and click to choose an element.
When to show
This tab lets you decide when to show your holiay countdown timer. You can set specific triggers and conditions on when to show it. You can have it trigger as soon as a page loads, and limit to only once per hour per shopper if you'd like. Or maybe you only want to show the holiday countdown timer during the week-you can do that here too. You can also set a schedule to run the timer, so that after July 4th the skill becomes deactivated and no longer runs. Simply enable the schedule and set your dates and times for the holiday countdown timer to start and finish.
Who to show
This tab lets you decide who to show the holiday countdown timer to. You can determine this by the shopper's location or by their journey on your site. So, for example if I only have American shoppers maybe I want the testimonials to only display if a visitor is from the USA. Then any one from outside of the US wouldn't see the testimonial popups (based on IP address). You can also choose to only show the testimonial popups if a shopper has previously viewed a product on your store. That means someone visiting only your homepage wouldn't see the testimonials.
Why (A/B testing)
This tab lets you decide if you want to A/B test your Shopify testimonial notifications. It'll allow you to enable or disable testing and also determine the percentage split of who to show the content to. The default is a 50/50 split, meaning 50% of the time customers see the testimonials, and the other 50% do not see the testimonials. This data can be used to compare to each other and determine whether the skill is helping you out.
By default, this skill is turned off. You can enable it yourself and also find out more about A/B Testing through this article.

Dynistics Wins City of Glasgow College Dashboard Software Tender
- July 14, 2015
- News
Active Dashboards beats competition to be supplier of choice
Dynistics are delighted to announce winning the contract to provide dashboard software and support to City of Glasgow College.
Formed in 2010 from the merger of Central College Glasgow, Glasgow Metropolitan College and the Glasgow College of Nautical Studies, City of Glasgow College is now one of the largest colleges in Scotland. Providing a wide portfolio of over 2,600 further and higher education courses, the college is home to almost 30,000 students from 135 different countries.
The college recognised the importance of making informed decisions and driving performance improvements through high quality business intelligence and access to real-time information and trend analysis presented in an easy to use graphical format.
For their tender, the College identified a number of key operational areas that could benefit from an integrated dashboard software solution, including student success, achievement and retention rate trends, finance and funding, apprenticeships, teaching and learning quality, governance, curriculum planning and estates utilisation. And they were keen to choose a solution that could easily be applied to all other areas of reporting throughout the college.
Integration with and the ability to report from their existing core applications – including UNIT-e, Wealden, Enquirer & TeQuios- as well as being adaptable enough to allow integration and extraction from any database was of paramount importance. The solution needed to be flexible enough to allow for role and permission based dashboard views, with the ease of use and ability to enable staff to develop and implement their own performance measurement dashboards.
Functionality aside, the college were specific in their desire to work on a partnership with a tried and trusted supplier to the college sector in order to ensure the potential strategic benefits of implementing a dashboard software solution would be rapidly realised.
They chose Dynistics and Active Dashboards.
'We're absolutely thrilled we won the City of Glasgow contract', said Bill Pease, Head of Operations & Delivery from Dynistics. 'With our deep knowledge of the college sector, and a proven track record of 50+ successful college dashboard implementations, we know we're best placed to support the college achieve their goals'.

CAPTIVE DESIRE (Planet of Desire #2)
Robin Lovett
Pub. Date: November 19, 2018
Publisher: Entangled Publishing, LLC (Scorched)
About the book:
Gahnin, a Ssedez general, hasn't had a woman since his first mate died a century ago. And since his kind can live for a thousand years, he's still bound by traditional mourning. If he breaks mourning, he could lose his position in the Ssedez military. His friends and family. Everything.
That means no falling in love. No lust. No sex. For another century.
Then he's ordered to guard Assura, a human woman and military special operative, on a planet whose atmosphere causes a sexual arousal so fierce, it drives people insane if it isn't satisfied.
Even though he tries to keep Assura at arm's length, he's hooked. Forbidden desire called to life by a human, the same species who killed his first mate. Assura needs his body if she is going to live. But if he gives in to his passion, it could destroy him.

About Robin:
ROBIN LOVETT enjoys trips to alien worlds to avoid earthly things, like day jobs and housework. When not reading romance with her cat, she's busy writing sexy books, which may or may not involve anti-heroes, aliens, or both, but almost always enemies-to-lovers. She's a big fan of her husband who regards writing romance as far more important than practical things, like paychecks. Her favorite surprise in the world, or the universe, was finding out by some miracle other people want to read the same kind stories she loves to write.
In a past life, Robin worked as a professional opera singer who grew tired of playing dying heroines and took up writing Happily-Ever-After instead.
Her ultra hot sci-fi erotic series releases through Entangled Publishing's Scorched line in 2018. Her first contemporary dark thriller series released summer 2017 through St. Martin's Press Swerve, Stranger: A Dark Stalker Romance, Deceiver: A Dark Revenge Romance and Keeper: A Dark Captive Romance.

A rare opportunity has arisen to buy a second hand Booths Garden Studio, one of the UK's most popular suppliers.
Iain from Booths Garden Studios explains the opportunity:
The Studio is presently at Uxbridge. The price for Booths to pick the Studio up and install it in your garden starts at £1500.00 inc Vat. Obviously if you live in Scotland:-) this cost will be higher. If you are a handyman/lady, then possibly you could do this yourself.
The cost of a new 12ft x 6ft Hip Roof Timber Studio would be around £10k. Rebecca is on 07814 683909 if you would like some more information and an idea of price simply give her a call.
If you would like a more accurate quote for Booths moving the Studio, just email me your postcode to [email protected]
This is a great chance to snap up a garden studio bargain, give Rebecca a call or contact Iain at Booths for more information.

right this second be sure to bookmark this video so you can come back to it later. I provided a link to Bluehost below in the
description to get your free domain name and hosting discount. I do want to mention that the link is an affiliate

a Prime plan. I recommend going with the basic plan and
then you can always scale up whenever you'd like. If you have more than one website then you'd
want to choose either the plus plan or prime plan. I'm going to choose the basic plan for this
tutorial as this is most common. Go ahead and hit the select button on whichever
plan you would like to use. We are now brought to a domain page where
we can choose the domain name that we want completely free. Or if you already have a domain name you'd
enter it in over on the right. For the new domain you can select if you want

plugins you can use for your WordPress website. Search Engine jumpstart you can keep unselected. This isn't necessary to have. Sitelock security find is security for your
WordPress website and protects it from hackers. I'd unselect this as there are really good
free alternatives. Domain Privacy is an addon that I highly recommend. It will prevent telemarketers and marketers
getting a hold of your personal contact information and bugging you with their services. The domain privacy will show Bluehost's information
for the site and not yours. All of these addons are completely optional
and up to you to get. As you can see your saving a lot for this

Myanmar people often think that Myanmar is high in English language proficiency among other ASEAN countries.EF EPI reported for 2018 of the world's largest ranking of countries and regions by English skill.What's EF EPI? EF is the abbreviation of Education First,founded in Sweeden in 1965 by a man with a vision,Bertil Hult,who still heads the company today. EPI means English language proficiency Index.So EF EPI means English proficiency index of English First.
Today EF Education First has over 43,500 employees, teachers and volunteers. With over 500 schools and offices in 53 countries, EF has turned the world into a global classroom. EF English First has been providing English language lessons for over 20 years in more than 300 English First schools across China, Russia and Indonesia.
In the report,there are five categories of English skills;very high,high, moderate,low and very low. How about Myanmar in those categories? Myanmar's rank is 82 ,very low,in 82 countries,and the lowerest in the ASEAN countries after Cambodia,rank 85.Singapore is very high,world's rank 3,and the highest in the ASEAN.The two high countries are Philippines,rank 14,and Malaysia,rank 22.They are the second highest in the ASEAN.Vietnam is world's rank 41 and it's skill is moderate.
In the ASEAN,Thailand is world's rank 64,low rank, but higher rank than Myanmar,very low,82.Myanmar always think that Thai people are poor in English skills but it passes off now.We should know that English language is a stepping-stone to learn all of developing technologies and skills.
Why is Myanmar's English skills very low even if the country was a former British colony for more than 100 years?The problem is education system which can't compete with others. Myanmar's education level has been lower and lower after Revolution Council led by U Ne Win seized the power of the country in 1961.For nearly 60 years,so many graduates were born in quantity than in quality.Most of them couldn't get better English skills though they studied it for 14 years.
In conclusion,Myanmar is a growing country in the ASEAN and warmly welcome FDI now.The more we do business with foreigners,the more we need English skills to communicate with each other.We must study English more and more before.Let's try our best!
