Super Bowl LIV betting: How the Patriots saved sportsbooks from a loss on 49ers Super Bowl futures
MIAMI — For a while, Nevada sportsbooks were worried about the San Francisco 49ers.
The 49ers were the type of team that can cause problems for a casino's bottom line. They have a large and passionate fanbase, they had long odds to win the Super Bowl before the season, and they ended up being much better than expected.
The 49ers were as high as 40-to-1 to win the Super Bowl before the season at BetMGM. Smart bettors and 49ers fans, who saw the potential of the team with a young and exciting defense and the return of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo from knee surgery, took the 49ers and caused a potential liability for the sportsbooks in the Super Bowl futures market. Las Vegas wasn't going to shut down if the 49ers won a Super Bowl, but the house isn't used to losing. And it was looking at the possibility of losing on Super Bowl futures with a 49ers win in Super Bowl LIV.

Then a strange ally came to the rescue: The New England Patriots.
Patriots' loss was good for sportsbooks
Sportsbooks release odds on who will win the Super Bowl before the current season's champion has been determined. The odds for the 2021 Super Bowl are already out at BetMGM. Those odds stay up through the season and are a popular bet. Fans come to Las Vegas and like putting down a few bucks on their favorite team to win the Super Bowl.
A sportsbook looks at the total amount bet on the 32 teams when it assesses how it did at the end of the season. And the books stood to lose money on Super Bowl futures if the 49ers won, with some of those larger tickets out there.
Then the Patriots came into the picture. New England slumped late in the season, losing three of their last five regular-season games, which pushed their odds to win the Super Bowl up. Bettors, finally seeing value on a Patriots team that seemingly was in the Super Bowl every season, started betting on New England to win the championship.
"The Patriots took a lot of money," said Jeff Stoneback, director of trading operations for MGM Resorts International.
MGM took enough bets on the Patriots that it canceled out the potential loss with the 49ers. Like many NFL fans, sportsbook operators weren't too sad when the Tennessee Titans upset the Patriots in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
49ers had a fast start to the season
The 49ers' great start to the season was actually a big benefit to sportsbooks in the end.
The 49ers started 8-0 and a few games in, the odds dropped significantly. Those 40-to-1 tickets were nowhere to be found anymore. They were a surprise after going 4-12 in 2018, but the books were able to adjust quickly. San Francisco's odds were in the single digits a few games into the season.
The 1999 St. Louis Rams will always be the cautionary tale for the futures market. The Rams were 300-to-1 at points before the season, and had one of the most remarkable surprise seasons ever with Kurt Warner at quarterback, beating the Titans in the Super Bowl. The Rams' win was great for the NFL and really bad for Las Vegas casinos.
"When we get stung is when we have these 100-to-1 shots," Stoneback said.
In those terms, the liability on the 49ers this season wasn't too bad. Still, the sportsbooks are happy to not be sweating it on Super Bowl Sunday.

Therapeutic Relationships & Boundary Maintenance: The Perspective of Forensic Patients Enrolled in the Aggressive Behaviour Control Program
Schafer, Penny Ellen
Degree LevelMasters
MetadataShow full item record
The complexity of the therapeutic relationship is amplified when the setting is a prison and the patient is incarcerated. A challenge essential to the therapeutic process is the establishment and maintenance of a therapeutic relationship, including therapeutic boundaries (Petemelj-Taylor, 1998). Theoretical and empirical literature related to boundaries in the therapeutic relationship has focused primarily on outpatient settings where the therapeutic relationship demands only one role from the mental health professional- that of therapist. Conversely, the therapeutic relationship in the inpatient setting with a forensic patient demands that the mental health professional occupy multiple roles all within the realms of the therapeutic relationship. Although existing knowledge may provide some guidance, the complexity of therapeutic relationships with forensic patients has not been adequately addressed in either theoretical or empirical literature. Developing an understanding of the complexity of maintaining therapeutic boundaries with forensic patients is essential to guide nurses and other professionals in their therapeutic relationships with this group of patients. To extend current knowledge about therapeutic relationships and therapeutic boundary maintenance with the incarcerated forensic patient, the focus of this study was the exploration of the perspectives of forensic patients enrolled in the Aggressive Behaviour Control (ABC) Program. The study was conducted using a naturalistic inquiry research design (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). Data was collected through indepth interviews with 12 participants enrolled in the ABC program. All participants were given an opportunity to review, confirm, clarify, correct, amend or extend the interview transcripts and the elements identified in analyzing the data they provided. Field notes, reflective journal entries, and interview transcripts constituted the data for analysis. Analysis of the data collected revealed a core process - the development of "therapeutic" relationships - indicating that the development of "therapeutic" relationships was a complex process. Associated with this process were five interrelated themes. Adjusting to the House, describes the participants' transition from their parent institutions to the treatment environment. Knowing the Fundamental Structures of the House, provides the participants' perception of the influential contextual factors in the treatment environment. Evaluating the Primay Therapist as a Guide, describes the process that the participants engaged in to determine the approach to treatment of the primary therapist. Experiences that Promote or Hinder the Relationship, described those experiences that the participants had with the primary therapist that either promoted or hindered "therapeutic" relationships. Finally, Ways of Being with the Primary Therapist: Head, Heart, Head and Heart, and Wallet depicted four different types of relationships that evolved between the participants and the primary therapists.

Static Content
<constant name="struts.serve.static" value="false" />
If you disable this feature, but use the
xhtml, or
css_xhtmltheme, make sure that the javascript and css files shipped inside the core jar are extracted to your web application directory.
Custom Static Content Loaders
Static content is served by an implementation of
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.StaticContentLoader. To write your own
StaticContentLoader, implement
StaticContentLoader and define a bean for the class:
<bean type="org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.StaticContentLoader" class="MyStaticContentLoader" name="myLoader" />
<constant name="struts.staticContentLoader" value="myLoader" />
Default Content Loader
Struts provides a default implementation of
StaticContentLoader which is
This loader will handle urls that start with "/static/".
This content loader can serve static content from the classpath, so when writing a plugin, you can put a file inside your plugin's jar like "/static/image/banner.jpg" and it will be served when the url "/static/image/banner.jpg" is requested.
This loader is not optimized to handle static content, and to improve performance, it is recommended that you extract your static content to the web application directory, and let the container handle them.
Preventing Struts from Handling a Request
If there is a request that Struts is handling as an action, and you wish to make Struts ignore it, you can do so by specifying a comma separated list of regular expressions like:
<constant name="struts.action.excludePattern" value="/some/content/.*?" />
These regular expression will be evaluated against the request's URI (
HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI()), and if any
of them matches, then Struts will not handle the request.
To evaluate each pattern Pattern class from JDK will be used, you can find more about what kind of pattern you can use in the Pattern class JavaDoc.

Call upon Mary: A Prayer
Below is another beautiful prayer of trust in Mary's intercession. When seeking Mary's intercession, remember the words of Jesus from the cross:
"When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home." (John 19:26-27)
As disciples of Jesus, we know that He looks upon us with love when we accept His mother into our hearts. As Jesus could not resist His mother's request to turn water into wine during the wedding feast at Cana, we can trust that when Mary presents our prayers to her Son, Jesus will manifest His glory (John 2:12).
In the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I Trust
Look to the Star, call upon Mary!
In danger, in difficulty or in doubt,
think of Mary, call upon Mary.
Keep her name on your lips,
never let it pass out of your heart.
Following in her footsteps, you will not go astray;
praying to her, you will not fall into despair;
thinking of her you will not err.
While she keeps hold of your hand,
you will not fall,
you will not grow weary,
you will have no fear.
Enjoying her protection,
you will reach the goal.
– Saint Bernard

One of the biggest benefits of moving from Server 2003 to Server 2012 R2 is that you have the option of moving to Server Core.
If you've been living under a rock, Server Core is the version of Windows Server that doesn't include the GUI component. You can log on and perform operations from the command prompt, using cmd.exe or Windows PowerShell. You can also remotely manage Server Core from your administrative workstation using all your favorite remote management consoles.
Server Core comes with a couple of big benefits. The first is that without all the GUI elements, Server Core has a much lower hardware footprint than Server 2012 R2 with the GUI.
The other, perhaps less obvious benefit, is that because it doesn't have as many software elements, Server Core has a much smaller software update footprint. Fewer software updates released by Microsoft apply to Server Core, meaning you won't have to reboot it as often.
In the next few articles we'll look at what you should start thinking about when it comes to migrating your existing workloads to Server Core – which workloads are really suitable and which workloads you might need to deploy in a more traditional manner.

Medical emergencies happen, even if you're on vacation. Although you cannot control them, preparing before you leave is just as important as planning your itinerary.
Here are some things to do before you travel:
- Be sure you have your insurance cards and personal IDs. Include information for emergency contacts in a location that can be accessed immediately. Know what your insurance plan covers, and what costs will be your responsibility.
- If you leave your child in the care of a friend or relative, be sure to give them a copy of your insurance card and written permission including dates, your signature and phone number. This will allow them to seek care for your child while you are away.
- Pack a small emergency kit of favorite over the counter medications, adhesive bandages, tweezers and other first aid supplies.
- Bring all your daily medications, ideally in their original pill containers. Even if it's a short trip, prepare for additional days in the event your return home is delayed due to bad weather or sickness. This includes bringing extra daily medication to avoid missing doses. The containers also list your doctor, the pharmacy and the phone numbers for each should that be needed.
- If you are traveling abroad, make sure you have all the necessary vaccinations. Allow plenty of time to get these done before your trip.
- Familiarize yourself with the location of the hospital or urgent care center closest to your destination.
Medical emergencies do happen while on vacation. Preparing ahead will give you peace of mind and may help save precious time.

Hiring Fast To Keep Up With Rapid Cloud Growth
By Abby Sorensen, Chief Editor
Alessandra Lezama was employee number 29 when AbacusNext hired her as CEO in September 2013. In the four years since then, AbacusNext has transitioned to the cloud, which resulted in the kind of rapid growth that required rapid hiring. The company now has more than 350 employees in its sunny San Diego office. And it's been hiring these new employees en masse.
Glassdoor.com's recently released report on average hiring times shows U.S. companies take an average of 23.8 days to hire a new employee. In the "Computer Software and Hardware" category, the average time to hire is 23.9 days. Even with some rounding, AbacusNext would have had to hire someone every 4.5 days in order to add 320 employees since Lezama took the reins. The company didn't have a small army of recruiters or an expansive HR department to shortcut the process. Instead, it threw the "hire slow, fi re fast" mantra out the window and instead used open houses as mass hiring events to ramp up its headcount.

'I want to go for the golden boot, player-of-the-year and win the league' - Norwood bullish as new season nears
PUBLISHED: 12:00 19 July 2019
James Norwood is confident he can replicate last season's stunning goal-scoring form as he makes the step up to League One with Ipswich Town.
James Norwood is confident he can replicate last season's stunning goal-scoring form as he makes the step up to League One with Ipswich Town.
The new Ipswich Town striker scored 32 goals to fire Tranmere to promotion last season before moving to Portman Road, where he has now set his sights on scoring the goals to take the Blues back to the Championship.
Norwood played a handful of third-tier games for Exeter a decade ago and now, having worked his way back through the non-league game, is looking to make up for lost time and make his mark.
When asked if he had any concerns about stepping up to League One, the striker replied: "No, because I hadn't played in League Two before and that went quite well.
MORE: Norwood is the joker in the Ipswich Town pack... but flick a switch and the striker is all business
"I'm playing with better players and the way I seem to work is that the better the level the better I rise up to it.
"If I go up a level I raise my game and work harder at everything else off the pitch and work harder on the pitch and see where it takes me. I've always backed myself as a goalscorer and a good player and I've always wanted to be one of the best players in the league.
"That doesn't change, I want to be up there in the goals and go for the golden boot. I want to play every game and win player of the year. That doesn't change whatever level I'm at. I'd do that in the Premier League.
"If you go up a level and your mindset changes to 'can I really do this' then you're already losing."
Norwood has previously said he would be disappointed not to score 20 goals a season, whichever level he was playing at.
MORE: Defender Kenlock signs new three-year contract with Ipswich Town
"Twenty goals a season works out at just two goals a month," he said.
"In one game you might score two goals then if you score the next week you're already ahead.
"Two goals a month is your target then braces and hat-tricks all add up.
"It's important I get that first goal. Last season I got two in the first game and then went on to get seven in seven and that builds you and the team with confidence.
"It can be that you're through on goal and they're already turning round and going back for kick-off because they are confident in you. That's the feeling that I want in the team if I'm playing - 'if we put the ball anywhere near him it's going in'.
"I'll work hard to find that form again and if the lads can put the ball into the box with quality and slide me through then I'll do my best to finish the chances and get three points."
MORE: Former Lincoln defender Wilson training with Ipswich Town
The 28-year-old is also bullish about his team's chances this season, with the striker enjoying the pressure of being at a club the size of Ipswich Town.
"We're not just looking for promotion, we're looking to win the league," he said.
"We're looking for those 95 points. If we come second and get promoted then great, but you want that medal round your neck at Portman Road, celebrating with 30,000 people.
"That's the dream and that's exactly what we're going for.
"Ideally I want to take Ipswich up and probably finish my career here if I'm honest. It's already feeling like such a good club and I feel like I have a good affiliation with the lads.
MORE: Ipswich Town eyeing Bury defender Thompson
"I love big clubs. I want to be something at a big club and be remembered for doing something big. If that's scoring 30 goals and securing us promotion then that's something I will remember forever.
"At Tranmere they have pictures up of their successful teams and we used to say 'right, rip them down because we're going on there now because we've just done two in a row'.
"I want to be up there on that wall with this team."

GMC recently announced that they've sold one million Denalis. The number is made all the more impressive by the fact it took the company less than 20 years to do it.
One Million Denalis
The Denali trim is available on the Terrain, Acadia, Yukon, Canyon, Sierra, and Sierra HD. Your comfort is guaranteed in leather-appointed, heated front seats with French-stitched details. Outside, LED lighting arrays guide the way, bolstered by chrome accents and aluminum wheels. Inside, 4G LTE, and automatic liftgates create a refined driving experience. The latest comprehensive safety suite completes the Denali experience. That includes Following Distance indicator, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Front Pedestrian Braking and more.
More than Professional Grade
At the North American International Auto Show in 1997, GMC showed off a new concept, the Yukon Denali. At the time, sturdy and practical performance vehicles dominated the SUV market. An SUV was an unattractive option, similar to the minivan. But GMC flipped that stereotype over. Among other upgrades, it introduced a new front clip and polished chrome wheels. Per Rich Latek, marketing director for GMC, Denali forced the company "to commit to excellence; commit to perfecting every last detail from start to finish – but the result; the longevity and success of the Denali line, more than speaks for itself."
The positive reception from the NAIAS crowd prompted GMC to introduce the Yukon Denali to full production the following year. With its success, GMC continued to expand the lineup. The Sierra 1500 was the second to receive the Denali treatment, followed by the envoy, Sierra HD, and Terrain. With six vehicles now in the Denali stable, driver's with a wide range of performance needs can get the same high standard of craftsmanship and design. Even as the GMC lineup adapts to the quickly evolving automotive landscape, it seems that Denali will remain a fixture.

A few weeks ago I penned a slightly tongue-in-cheek guide to reading Prynne, so I thought I give a practical demonstration of the technique. Being ever up for a challenge, I've chosen the second poem from "Streak, willing, entourage, artesian" which is Prynne's latest work and probably one of his most dense. I started this exercise by reading all of the poems in sequence. One of the first things that struck me was that most of this is very abstract with very few 'obvious' phrases or sentences to hang on to. The second thing that struck me was the use of certain words- 'blanket', 'hunger', 'grand rubble' which pointed me in the direction of Ulster and what we refer to as 'the Troubles' and what Prynne has referred to as a civil war.
I must stress that this is a very early and tenuous hypothesis and I have learned that hanging on to first impressions can often lead to a lot of wasted effort. The blanket protest that morphed into the hunger strike (in which ten men died) and the Brighton Bomb (the hotel was called the Grand Hotel) are all I've got to go on so I proceeded with this and re-read the first poem which may or may not be about bomb making.
I have a view that successive British governments have, for the last five hundred years, failed to understand Ireland and the Irish and that this is also true of ordinary people. We view the anti-Catholic rhetoric on one side and the fervent republicanism on the other with a mixture of impatience and incomprehension.

The other 'point' of this is to test out Kerridge and Reeve's hypothesis that secondary meanings "accumulate and fill the poem in an unmanageable excess of meaning which reveals the repressed and concealed relations between discourses".

The first thing to notice is that it looks like a poem, all the poems in this collection are made up of six quatrains.
This one also contains some poetic touches- "oh grant that" and the use of the verb 'long' in the last line. The disappointing thing is the absence of handholds which can usually lead me into a way of making sense. Some phrases are particularly odd- 'dismount the pelmet' and 'round lie cost plus crush split stamina' at first sight defy logic but there is at least one reference which might fall in with the Ulster hypothesis. 'In low pale extradite' may refer to the English Pale which is an area of the Irish Republic that includes Dublin.
I seem to recall that in the seventies one of the bones of contention between the UK and Irish governments was the difficulties involved in extraditing republicans from the Republic to stand trial in Belfast.
There's also 'grow up to main' which may (or may not) be a reference to the fact (once explained to me by a friend with greater knowledge of these matters than I) that the Catholic population was growing faster than the Protestant who would be overtaken as the majority in a generation or two. This demographic trend explains why loyalist politicians became much more keen to reach a settlement in the nineties. I'm very aware that this is fairly tenuous and I may have to rethink at a later stage.
There's a couple of difficult words that we need to get out of the way, 'fovea' is latin and one of its meanings is 'pitfall' which would tie in with 'peril' that accompanies it. 'Trill' as a verb can mean to turn around which would kind of fit with 'earlier ban'.
The reference to 'flute ignite' is more problematic because it could refer to weaponry (pistols, rifles, pipe bombs etc) or it could refer to the musical instrument played on the Orange marches designed to intimidate the Catholic minority. 'Nul wants subsume trill earlier ban' could be saying "don't give up on your ancient rights and overturn the ban on marching". Again this is just guesswork at this stage and may need to be reconsidered later.
That's probably enough for now, in the next part I'll have a go at the first and fifth stanzas, both of which strike me as particularly tricky. Ill leave to others to judge whether the above meets Keston Sutherland's criteria for reading rather than consuming Prynne, all I will say is I think this is one of Prynne's most important poems to date.
I know that I said I would concentrate on the first and third stanzas of this (the second poem in 'Streak, willing, entourage, artesian') but further reflection tells me that this is a flawed approach to something this non-linear. I will therefore try to point out the bits that can be gleaned with a degree of attention and those that are utterly resistant.
My hypothesis (guess) is that this poem is 'about' the recent civil war in Ulster although I am still prepared to overturn this guess if I come across anything that points in another direction. To this end I have begun to delve into the Cain archive and to read witness testimony given to the Bloody Sunday Inquiry and I am amazed about how much I had forgotten.
I'd like to start with 'Be all best profane / broken tenuous' from the fourth stanza. I'm taking 'Be all best' as an instruction to do your best which seems fairly clear but 'profane' is causing me problems. As a noun profane means someone or thing which makes something secular or unholy, as a verb it can also mean to desecrate, abuse or insult whilst the adjective can be used to someone who is uninitiated in religious practice. Throughout the Troubles, Ulster was sunk deep in religious issues, from the casting of hunger strikers as martyrs to the anti-catholic rants of Ian Paisley and his ilk the conflict was mired in arguments about God with each side viewing the other as (at the very least) profane.
This use of the word to refer to the conflict doesn't help very much with this part of the poem, it occurs to me that these words could be an address to the reader. Prynne has done this before in 'To Pollen' with its reference to the 'resilient brotherhood' and the question about 'the one inclined'. I'll try and show how this reading makes more sense than does a reference to the Ulster conflict.
'Be all best' could be an instruction that recognises that all readers can only do what they can because the full meaning of a poem will always remain elusive. 'Profane' as a verb may be an instruction to overlook the religious elements of the conflict in favour of a more materialist analysis. Part of the first stanza reads 'folly to love acre the same'- if we give acre its subsidiary meaning of 'land' then this could point to the fact that the fundamental political difference separating both sides was (is) whether the six counties should become part of the Irish Republic or remain as part of the United Kingdom. This would seem to make sense but taking religion out of the equation overlooks at least some of the fuel that lit and sustained the fire.
'Broken' and 'tenuous' are words that have a direct bearing on Prynne's work. Many writers have commented on the fragmented nature of poems where competing discourses collide with each other and I've found this one of the most attractive (if that's the right word) aspects of the work.
I've used tenuous to describe my own reading of Prynne and others have stated that readers are only ever likely to get a partial understanding of what's going on. Some have pointed out that readers should construct their own meanings from the poem, treating each piece as an open text. I don't hold with this view because I find that there's enough in even the most obscure poems to glean what Prynne may be about.
'Tenuous' could also refer to the actions involved in writing the poem. The disaster that was the Ulster conflict was multi-faceted and does not lend itself easily to analysis. There are territory, religion, civil rights, colonial and military dimensions to consider as well as the fact that the working class of both sides were intent on killing each other in large numbers. So, any analysis will be tenuous at best- is this what Prynne is saying?
We then have a comma- these are often missing from Prynne's work and they are often used to introduce a new line of thought but on this occasion I'll try and show that the line continues to make some kind of sense. 'Each strand as fine torrid / at leave to play' refers to the poem and the act of reading it. I'm taking the primary meaning of each and strand to indicate that both the elements of the conflict and the various dimensions of the poem are being referred to. 'Fine' as a noun can mean the end of something and the verb can mean bringing to and end so this may be an instruction to follow both types of thread to their conclusion.
'Torrid' is interesting because, in addition to its normal meaning, the OED states that it can refer to the atmosphere affecting those at risk of religious persecution. It may therefore allude to Ulster Catholics feeling persecuted by the Protestant majority or to loyalists feeling that they are being killed because of their faith. On the other hand it could refer to the position Prynne feels himself to be in as a poet. It is true to say that Prynne has been more vilified by the poetry establishment than any other writer in the last thirty years and that this has often taken the form of puerile personal attacks which could be seen as a form of persecution. Whilst this may or may not be correct, it is interesting to note that Paul Celan (a major predecessor in the difficulty stakes) had a persecution complex too.
'At / leave to play' I'm taking as a description of the activity of the reader who is free to construct her own reading of the various strands. I don't think this is a reference to Prynne because his work suggests that he takes himself far too seriously for that.
I started reading this poem in part to test Keston Sutherland's assertion that Prynne's work demands readers rather than consumers of poetry, those who are prepared to work at the task of interpretation and so achieve a level of intimacy with the poem. Since my last post on this poem from 'Streak, Willing, Entourage, Artesian', I've given myself a bit of a rest (I've got my own stuff to write) but I have had a flash of inspiration which vindicates my original hunch that this work is 'about' the recent Troubles in Ulster.
This was one of those 2 am moments as I was trying to get to sleep. In the 5th stanza I'd worked out that there isn't such a thing as a pelmet crab but there is a helmet crab, for some reason I extended this 'sounds like' principle to 'foreland'and came up with 'four lands' somewhere in my brain I knew that Ireland was historically divided into provinces but couldn't remember how many these were. The next day Wikipedia informed me that there were once five provinces- Meath, Leinster, Munster, Connacht and Ulster. This was a revelation comparable only to the discovery that Cern could be described as 'ultramont' in 'To Pollen'.
According to the OED, an obscure definition of 'crab' is to "go counter to, to cross, to put out of humour or temper, to irritate, anger, enrage provoke." The Troubles were characterised by one side wanting Ulster (the 'annexe') reunited with the Irish state and the other side wishing to remain part of the United Kingdom.
With regard to dismounting from the pelmet and sustaining a fracture I can only take this to be meant literally and to refer to the contortions readers have to put themselves through to gain some understanding. If that's the case then it isn't very funny. 'Rush' may refer to a specific type of robbery common in the 17th and 18th century whereby a group of men would rush past the householder and steal all his goods- this is pure speculation for the moment.
I still haven't much of a clue about the first and last stanzas, in particular I don't know why 'same-front' is hyphenated and I'm troubled by 'suffuse. The last stanza is even more problematic 'mend up to shock' defies my small brain and I haven't a clue what we're supposed to be longing for.

In an enterprise contract, the contractor agrees to perform physical or intellectual work for a client.
This work is considered to be complete when it has been carried out in accordance with the contract and is ready to be used for its intended purpose.
When the contractor tells the client that the work is finished, the client has two choices:
- If the work was done according to the contract, the client can accept the result without condition. If the client does this, he must pay the contractor the full price of the work.
- If the work has obvious and apparent defects, the client can accept the work, on condition that the contractor makes the necessary changes to adjust the work.
In this case, the client must pay the contractor the price of the work, but can subtract an amount off the price to cover the repair costs related to the problems identified. He can keep the subtracted amount until the contractor has repaired the problems.
However, the client cannot subtract an amount off the total price and keep it if
- the contractor has clearly agreed to make the necessary repairs , or
- the contractor has provided sufficient guarantees to cover the repair costs, or
- the client prevents the contractor from making the necessary repairs.
In certain situations, a client might discover a defect that was hidden when he accepted the work, even though he accepted the work with or without some conditions. In this case, the client can ask the contractor to repair the hidden defect or compensate him for any loss he suffered because of it.
Finally, the contract might say that the work will be performed in several steps. In this case, the contractor can ask the client, after each step, to pay for the work performed. The client must accept the work after each of the steps, with or without conditions.

Adventure & Outdoor
Newquay has seven golden sandy beaches, blue seas, the Gannel Estuary, Trenance Gardens and Boating Lake so is a great place for outdoor adventure - or simply relaxing watching others do the adventuring.
Get Wet Outdoor Activities
Virtually every water and beach sports, activity and past time is featured in and around Newquay. Newquay is iconic for its surfing and there are a number of surf schools that teach surfing or body-boarding, from the first time novice to those brushing up on their skills. There are also plenty of places to hire surfing equipment such as boards or wetsuits if you want to just enjoy trying it for yourself. Although please take note of the flags showing surfing areas and advice from the Lifeguards.
Like the idea of jumping from the cliffs into the sea? Well that's basically what coasteering is! With trained professionals who know the tides and any hidden dangers, plus supply the correct safety gear, this is the only safe way to do it and it makes for some truly exhilarating fun. There are several adventure centres including Lusty Glaze Beach and Newquay Activity Centre based in Newquay where you can do all sorts of beach, cliff and sea activities from coasteering to surfing.
Water adventure isn't always in the sea though; new for 2016 is Retallack's outdoor Aqua Park. Somewhat like TV's Total Wipeout, the huge inflatable Aqua Park is for fun on a grand scale. If that's not daring enough then consider zorbing. Cornwall Zorbing will give you a serious adrenaline rush with their harness zorbing and the 'full on' Hydro Zorbing.
Stay Dry Outdoor Activities
It's not all about getting wet with the sea though, several companies run sea fishing trips where you can land your supper. Alternatively, Newquay Sea Safari's offer boat trips to view the marine wildlife and take you on a spectacular trip around our section of coast.
Away from the sea is the ever popular Go Karting and the fast outdoor track at St Eval operates several types of cart including the impressive 70mph go-carts - for that real race experience. Try out the segway craze at Hendra Holiday Park or simply hire some bikes to get around.
For more gentle outdoor activities there's always horse riding, let the horse do the work as you take in the scenery with a number of coastal or rural rides. Golf is a great option with several local golf courses, some with great sea views or a dedicated driving range to improve your swing or just stick with the seaside favourite of crazy golf. With a boating lake at Trenance Gardens you can hire a boat and gently row around or maybe a pedalo for that bit more active option.
This is just a taster of Newquay adventure and outdoor activities so please browse through our activities section, there may be things to try you never even thought of or scroll down for more information on each of the mentioned activities.

Daily Fantasy Baseball — July 19 — For DraftKings
Saturday! The All-Star break took the game away from us for four days this year, but thankfully we're on a full slate today. Honestly, why was there no baseball on Thursday? This was such a boring week for sports. What the hell am I supposed to do at work if there isn't any breaking news to read? Anyways, I'm using hotel wifi (which sucks), so let's do this.
Probables Chart
Hector Noesi and his terrible ratios are on the bump today. His match-up isn't terrible, but Houston does have some power hitters. Travis Wood is better than Noesi, but he's gotten crushed by right handed batters this season, making Paul Goldschmidt juicy; perhaps Aaron Hill, too. Hell, I don't mind Martin Prado ($4,000) either.
Last night, David Phelps held the Reds' lineup in check pretty well. Brandon McCarthy will have to do so tonight. Personally, I root for McCarthy. It's difficult to ignore his home run struggles, though, considering his new home.
Lastly, I'm all for targeting the following pitchers, on top of the ones mentioned above: Colby Lewis (Toronto is depleted, but Lewis has been wretched lately), Brett Anderson (righties only; huge fan of him as well, but his results this season haven't been swell), and Wei-Yin Chen (RHB).
There is some iffy weather today, but as usual, that's more of a worry for pitchers than hitters. I still recommended one pitcher below, despite questionable weather, because I like his match-up so much.
The Daily Five
Todd Frazier – $4,500
Frazier's power has seemingly blossomed this season. He'll have Yankee Stadium's short porch tonight. Devin Mesoraco ($4,200) is also very, very appealing. Choosing catchers on Saturdays can sometime be iffy, but considering the break everyone just had, he should definitely be in the lineup.
Alex Wood – $7,400
The Phillies' offense is mediocre versus left handed pitching: they're 19th in wOBA. Wood's ability to mix strikeouts with groundballs is ideal. Hopefully he's doing a little of both tonight. (weather pending; hopefully they're able to get the game in)
Corey Dickerson – $4,400
Charlie Morton has pitched pretty well this season, but Dickerson's upside is rather large. He's been quite a boon for many teams, and considering his power/speed potential, he's nicely priced.
Paul Goldschmidt – $5,700
He's pricey, but I absolutely love his match-up.
Dallas Keuchel – $6,500
I usually don't recommend two pitchers, but I couldn't resist today. The White Sox, as a team, have a .296 wOBA versus left handed pitching. *crosses fingers that Jose Abreu doesn't hit a bunch of dingers*

You will need to go through the different options that are out there for you which will enable you to sell your house fast. When you are out there searching for the right way through which you will sell your house fast, note that the traditional method of house selling ought to be out of your way since this will take you weeks and even months before you even achieve the right person who will buy the house. Also, going by the traditional means to sell your house will imply that you will incur additional cost in the process.
In case you are looking for a guaranteed sale of your house, then note that there are some companies out there which are buying homes for cash and they will offer to buy your house fast. When you are out there looking for a fast way to sell your house and also for cash, you will need to know that there are so many companies that will offer you with this, but before you achieve it, you will need to ensure that you will know about them.

The companies buy houses by making private deals, and one of the best things about them is that they pay quickly for their homes. Even though you will come across some cash home buying companies which buy houses without first inspecting them, there are some that will first choose the houses they are going to choose. The cash home buying companies will offer you with a quick sale of your property and they will offer to complete the entire process in a week or so. When it comes to cash home buyers, you will need to know that there are others who will offer you with a scheme of sell and rent back.

Bamboo is a very eco friendly and sustainable wood and hence excellent for creating furniture and houses. Bamboo is also very strong though the stalks look hollow and narrow. Bamboo has been in use for centuries and now the interest in bamboo is revived due to its sustainability and strength. A medley of stunning furniture design is created from bamboo and they blend exceptionally well with modern interiors.
Here are some magnificent creations from bamboo that can be considered for your eclectic home interiors.
1. Bare Bamboo Bench
The fact that bamboo is fast growing and very durable makes it an ideal choice for sustainable projects. This beautiful bamboo bench looks amazingly simple and rustic. But, there lies the charm of this bench which can be used as a garden bench or as living room furniture for a rustic environment.
The basic aluminium frame is threaded with numerous bamboo stalks, making it very strong and great support. The back is optional and due to its raw stalk design, it is also easy to replace any broken bamboo stalk locally.
2. Boo- Bamboo Lounge Chair
This exquisite and exotic looking lounge chair by Singapore based designer Kitty Cho is a beautiful design combined with contemporary materials to create a relaxing chair that has a very flexible backrest. The modern design along with the elements of rusticity adds to its charm and simple looks with which it is constructed, just by adding a few sturdy bamboo stalks into the groove provided at the back of the chair, the entire piece becomes a work of art that can also be easily repaired if the stalks are damaged in anyway. The flexibility of the backrest makes it possible to relax your body backwards or sit straight spined, whichever way you prefer.
3. Bamboo Bundle Bench
The bamboo bundle bench looks just like a bundle of bamboo stalks at first glance. But look closer and your eye will slowly recognize the silhouette of a bamboo bench. Known as the 'Pile Isle Reloaded', the design is developed by a German designer Elene Goray and an Engineer, Christoph Tonges. 10 varieties of bamboo coming from China, Columbia and Indonesia are used for making the bamboo bundle bench. The varieties of bamboos are tastefully arranged to form a beautiful blend of hues and the bamboo bundle is just tied with four stainless steel belts on both the sides. The tasteful arrangement of various sizes, shapes and colors of bamboo is what makes this bamboo bench exquisite.
4. El dot
The bamboo furniture that comes from el dot is almost reminiscent of basic necessities. They are very simplistic, yet aesthetically created that they immediately become the center of attraction. Handcrafted by artisans from Nepal, these beautiful pieces can grace the rooms of modern environments and also rustic interiors which makes them very special. The sophisticated styles are definitely a range to consider if you are looking at bamboo furniture for your house.
5. Medusa Stool
Every small piece of bamboo has been used without wastage in this stool created by Mia Lambinicio and industrial designer from Philippines. The medusa stool is made from strips of bamboo. The green chequered fabric used for the stool compliments the natural shade of bamboo. Scraps of fabric is used for the cushion stuffing making the medusa stool a totally eco friendly and recycled product as well. The medusa stool is a great addition to your kid's room as it is very sturdy with its multiple legs and hence also fall resistant.
6. PIE Chairs
These beautiful and aesthetically pleasing chairs from PIE are creativity at its best. They are all hand crafted and imitate the curves and lines of nature. The designs are very simple, yet look complex in their design elements and imagination. The angular and curvaceous styles that dominate the design imitate nature and use natural elements as well for creating the furniture. The rich texture and colors too add a sensuality to the creations that is entirely infectious.
This cute and vibrant range of bamboo stools are so enticing with their soft and circular forms that they make a beautiful furniture set in your kid's room. They look very glossy, which make us doubt whether they are actually made of bamboo. The stools are stackable and they come in various sizes.

Mr. Black gave us two examples of the revamp coming to the cards in Dark Age. The first of which is a Warchief. To the keen eye you will notice a couple things missing. First there is no size information.
The other card here is the Wasteland Warrior. Again you'll notice no points or size listed. But the real new tidbit here is something on both cards. At the bottom there is what appears to be some kind of link symbol followed by Wasteland Warrior (4). This is interesting because the Warchief has the same symbol followed by Wasteland Warrior (6). When asked about this Mr. Black only said, "In time... In time..." So obviously this is something new. He also said that there are things missing and that, "Well, always remember, cards aren't only one-sided..."
- Wasteland Warrior's Grapple doesn't have a target number.
- Warchief doesn't have Take Charge (Wasteland Warriors)
- Warchief doesn't have No Fear
When I posted this on the announcement comments, Mr. Black's response was, "All good observations Belgarath, all very good ;)" This would indicated that they were intentional, and not misprints. Further evidence that the next edition is going to hold some surprises.
Of course there is one other bit of news that slipped in this preview of things to come. With this new edition there will be a card pack available, that will contain all the cards. So now we can all get the high quality cards that Dark Age makes for our models and every one we might face across the table. Unless they are outrageously priced, I know I'll be getting a set. Until next time...
