Just to start out I've been meaning to do this since it dropped, but I've been busy so
sorry for the wait. Boosie really brings his best on this 19 track album. I'm glad this album dropped when it did as gangsta rap hasn't had much meaning recently in my eyes. On this album Boosie puts it all out there combining the new him and the street side very well. Production on this album was mainly trap beats some sounding repetitive but for the most part they were decent. At times on this album I felt Boosie's flow and the beat didn't connect smoothly. On the other hand I felt the content was pretty good for a street album and wasn't basic. Features were decent I liked Rich Homie Quans, Young Thugs, and J.Coles. Only feature I had trouble with was T.I because I just didn't like this piece of work by him thought he would have done better. For lyricism in this album there isn't much but with Boosie it's not really needed. Time for my first rating on any project! I give this album above average rating of 58. To break it down Boosie had an 8 rating on Sound Quality and Features, 7 ratings on Personal and Content. Then 6 ratings on Structure, Production, and Delivery with a 5 rating on art. Last the album received a 3 on Lyricism and a 2 on Classic Potential. I think these ratings are fair and I have read talk on Boosie being today's Tupac which I can see in some ways, but not in other ways. Anyways I think this was a good project by Boosie and I would recommend it to any one who likes gangsta rap or rap in general.

Before the era of the big-box store and ease of travel, ma and pa markets dotted the American landscape, serving even the smallest of communities.
"We don't just think about yesterday, today, or tomorrow. We think in terms of eternity," says Jim Sanders of the Mt. Carmel Cemetery board of directors as he stands on the cemetery's windswept hill, surveying the markers.
"And what we do today needs to advantage whoever is looking after this place fifty, a hundred, two hundred years from now."
Four year old Spencer Balentine eagerly hopped into the passenger side of his daddy's coal black '49 Chevy. His feet, barely clearing the edge of deep bench seat, jutted out of the rolled up pants legs of his striped bib overalls. He rested them on the glass gallon jugs that occupied every inch of the floorboard.
High on a hill overlooking The Valley is a parcel of land with a preternatural ambiance. Some places simply lend themselves to legend and Camp Beauregard is among them. The Civil War campground turned cemetery is a nest of intrigue.

An article from Do or Die Issue 6. In the paper edition, this article appears on page(s) 27-32.
I wish to make it clear that I intend this piece as a constructive critique of the campaign from someone that was involved throughout the clearance work. It is not a cynical winge from someone that never even went down there. My involvement at Newbury has given me a greater encouragement to continue direct action, when I had been considering giving it up for an easier, hassle-free life. However there are problems in the movement that I feel have always been there, but as they have not previously been dealt with, have grown more apparent as it has grown bigger.
My main problem with Newbury was its apparent inability to gain mass involvment in direct action. A poignant example of this was the mass rally in February '96 where a coalition of various groups including Friends of the Earth, Third Battle and Road Alert! drew over 6,000 people to walk the route and show their opposition to the scheme.
The rally was a good thing that brought a lot of people to the area that would not have otherwise come. But it was very sad that despite being heavily plugged only about a thirtieth of the rally stayed the night for the next day's action. In the end around 200 people trashed the Tarmac office in Newbury. At least two computers found themselves flying out of the 2nd floor windows and FoE National, the main organisers of the rally, publicly condemned the action. It was slightly ironic that those who were bussed in for the rally had been attracted down by the media coverage of the daily actions, but did not stay to participate in any. Any future involvement would have been limited to joining their local Friends of the Earth group or sending some money.
This illustrates what I feel to be a major fault in the campaign. There was a division of labour which seriously impaired the effectiveness of the campaign. Lines tended to be drawn between fit young activists who would perform direct action, and older, more respectable campaigners, who would offer moral and financial support, but not get involved in direct action. There are of course notable exceptions- those people from the camps who spent long hours in the office doing tedious jobs, and Newbury residents who would try to disrupt the convoys of security coaches going through Newbury- but these too often were the exception rather than the rule. The fault lies on both sides of this divide.
I became increasingly annoyed with meeting people who, when they discovered I was involved at Newbury, would start conversations along the lines of "Oh well done- you're a hero. I wish I could get involved, but I can't cos I'm not able". Hearing this would make me feel that I was the cannon fodder for other peoples' environmental consciences, and apart from feeding one's own ego, there is little use for attitudes like that. Everyone is able to do direct action, (as the disabled direct action network has shown), and it is vital to get that message across. If everyone at that rally had pledged one day off work to take action, had that been organised into a rota of 200 people available to stop work each day, the state would have found it extremely difficult to finish the clearance contract on time- if ever![1] We need to change this disempowering attitude that many of the so-called 'respectable' supporters have. One of the most moving and apt things I heard on the rally, was when one protestor came on stage after a man had given him his war medals as a sign of respect. He said something to the effect that the protestors were not special people or heroes- all they were was very tired, and in need of help.
The acceptance of a division of roles seems sadly all too apparent amongst the direct action campigners as well, who are supposedly anti-hierarchical and anti-elitist. There was a definite 'hierarchy of the harness' [The 'Cabal of the Carabiner'?]. If you were not fit and able to climb trees, then you were relegated to ground support - too often an implicit euphemism for merely supplying those in the tree tops with moral and financial support. This attitude must be countered becuase it put off a lot of people from getting involved.
I would never advocate stopping all forms of tree protests. I think it was an extremely effective tactic for delaying the clearance work, as highly specialised professional climbers had to be recruited to evict protestors at rates of between 700-900 a day. This resulted in eviction costs soaring, and the politicisation of much of the climbing community. However it is one tactic among many, we should never neglect the others which can be just as effective. Ground lock-ons often delayed the bailiffs for a very long time, and if the convoy was prevented from reaching the site, then an eviction could not even happen. I often felt very disempowered while standing outside an eviction cordon. When there were not serious attempts to break through it would sometimes just turn into a spectacle that we were observers at, and not active participants.
There was also this idea that everything should stop for Newbury. To give an example there were twice weekly minibuses conveying people between Brighton & Newbury. Someone rang up the Justice? office having a go at them them for giving a lift to people that wanted to go to the Valentine's Day Reclaim the Streets in Brighton. Justice? had 'taken away 30 climbers who could have been at Newbury'. Newbury was an important battle, but one of many in a diverse war.
On a wider level, I became increasingly worried that the cultural vanguardism of the campaign was alienating people from getting involved. If we are to break free from the media stereotype of us as hippy drop-outs, then we should not live up to it. We must not pander to their puerile attempts to shift the agenda from why the planet is being trashed to lifestyle bollocks. If we are going to even talk to them, then we must come across as intelligent, informed, and have a message that people can relate to. Being portrayed as a bunch of spaced out hippies can be incredibly alienating to most people; and if we are going to get mass involvement we need to be as all embracing as possible, (needless to say without compromising our ideals or actions).
An arrogant elitist attitude was often directed towards people who for one reason or another did not stay on the camps. While I have a lot of respect for people that want to live in trees threatened with destruction, a lot of people do not have the time or the inclination to live full-time on camp. These people are put off by the feeling that if they are not full-time activists, then they are not as 'hardcore'. Although the DIY culture has grown in the last few years it has become more and more of a clique because there seems to be a certain style which one must conform to. If some people do not aspire to a certain lifestyle, we should respect that. I accept that we need radical change in every aspect of our lives in order to be able to save the planet, but I sometimes wonder how radical living on a camp actually is. I often felt that I was having more of an effect trying to gather mass support in my home town rather than living full-time on a camp, detached from the mass of society in a lifestyle that most would find too alienating.
[Editor's note: The following two paragraphs put across ideas that members of the idiotorial collective heavily disagreed with. Rather than not include the piece, or edit it so that it 'conformed', we decided to print it with a reply at the end. We hope this aids discussion and debate.]
Another problem is how to deal with some peoples' personal problems that are brought to direct action protetst. Whether you call them dime-bars, energy vampires, lunch-outs, or whatever, it is undeniable that personal problems can often seriously hinder the effectiveness of a campaign.The free-living, utopian lifestyle of protest camps attracts all sorts of people (and rightly so), but sometimes for the wrong reasons.There can be a conflict between the view that everyone should be free to live their own individual life, and the right for a community to exist free of disruption. This conflict should not exist: a road protest camp is not a community centre to deal with people's problems- it is neither desirable or feasible.
Living on a protest camp can be highly stressful and demanding, and is not a suitable environment for helping people with drug, alcohol, or psychological problems. I heard of at least a dozen people sectioned as a result of the protests (at least 3 people involved with Newbury have also died as a result of alchohol or drugs), and these people obviously need help. However we as protestors are not in a position to be able to help (both because we do not have the energy or qualifications to do so), and I feel it is slightly arrogant to assume that we do. We should leave the job to those who are able, so that we can concentrate on the real reasons for being there. I do not deny the need for setting up proper care networks, as it is often the opppressive nature of modern society that can unbalance people, but this should be separate from the day to day life of the direct action protests.If peoples' own personal problems are causing serious disruption to campaigns, then they should be asked to leave and go somewhere that is more suited to their needs.[2]
Theft on the campaign was also a serious problem. There is undoubtedly room for communality of certain resources such as food, but this should not extend to personal posessions, which all too often went walkies. Having your harness nicked can put your life at risk, but even some of these were disappearing. There was even the case at Kennet where a group of climbers came down to help, and one of their sleeping bags went missing from the mothership (it turned up later after some persuasive talk). There is a simple solution to dealing with thieves- anyone caught nicking people's stuff should be kicked off camp straight away, and others warned about it.
I sometimes felt that there was a lack of any in-depth thought in people's reasonings for their actions. Emotive feeelings towards the planet are very strong, and it is understandable that anyone living on a site that they were attached to would wish to defend it to the limits of their abilities and beyond. However, realisation that the struggle against ecological destruction goes beyond emotive reactions is essential, otherwise, for many, the battle will end when the last tree is felled.
A brief look at two of the biggest anti-roads campaigns so far will show how important this is. The biggest demos at Twyford happened after the area had already been trashed, and the land defended at the M11 could hardly be described as ecologically rich, but it was still fought for. It is sad to see that actions have been drastically reduced at Newbury, and that there are no longer nearly as many people disrupting work now that the trees have gone - although it is encouraging that there are still activists camping in the area.
We still need to ensure that the struggle against the bypass continues until the road is built and beyond. Only targeting clearance allows the companies to plan ahead and concentrate their force on our weakest point. The security budget is mainly oriented towards pushing clearance work through. When they are on the offensive against us they have hundreds of security. Yet a year or even a few months later you can go back to a site and find hardly any. The actions of 10 early morning surprise crane climbers can be more costly than an action with 100 people, in which they know you're coming and have accounted for it. We are enabling a situation where they don't have to guard the most expensive part of a roadbuilding project- the roadbuilding itself!
A company simply cannot effectively guard a site 9 miles long 24 hours a day for three years when they don't know when you're coming or what you're going to do. How many times during the clearance did we sit back at 'our' camp listening to the CB and not knowing where they would turn up? This stretched our resources, numbers and sanity. When the trees fall and the cranes go up the roles are reversed. With surprise on our side- they're weak and we are strong.
If you want to break a chain you find the weak links. The state and the main contractors will probably never back down, but subcontractors are a different kettle of fish. With the exception of chainsaw men, cherry picker firms and the climbers, small subcontractors don't take part in a clearance contract. During the construction a myriad of different small firms are moved in - who will move straight back out again at any sign of serious trouble. Doing actions against subcontractors really fucks a contract up. This was proved effectively at Newbury by the campaign against the coach companies that ferried the fluorescent-jacketed army. Select actions in Reading and elsewhere at coach company terminals quickly convinced a few companies to back out. After that the threat worked just as well. For a while security had to hire minibuses from Kent [!]
Simply targeting clearance and practically ignoring construction is becoming a campaign pattern- we need to break it.
Overall, we need to develop a greater awareness of our actions if we are to be successful in further struggles. Newbury was very good at waking up a lot of people to what ecological destruction is going on in this country. The sheer scale of the campaign surprised a lot of people, including the authorities. Nevertheless the route was eventually cleared, and the protests accomodated.
The state has learnt how to deal with tree protests (they showed a marked improvement in tactics over the months of clearance work), and while I think it is still vital to physically defend areas under threat, we need to evolve our tactics so that we are continually one step ahead of them. The actions in support of the Liverpool dockers are a good example of how we can connect up to other people, and there should be similar links made in other areas. Lots of diverse groups were brought together by Newbury (anarchists, climbers, archaeologists, and FoE members), and we should maintain and strengthen these links if we are ever going to start to gain the mass involvement we need to defend our earth.
1) A very sucessful direct action rota was organised at the M11, under the name of Operation Roadblock . See 'News from the Autonomous Zones' p21, DoD 4
2) That is not to say that involvement in this kind of lifestyle cannnot be beneficial to people with minor problems. They can find an outlet for their frustration and alienation from society, which they might not otherwise have found. The energy they were previously using in various anti-social activities can be redirected into trashing earth rapists. For some, the close-knit community can bring people together who would otherwise never have met.
Despite disagreeing with its conclusions I am glad that the above article mentioned the 'personal' problems that plague us on campaigns, as well as talking about strategy. Hopefully it will start off a useful debate. I agree that there is a serious conflict on camps between on the one hand, peoples' 'personal problems', and on the other the smooth running of the campaign and the wellbeing of other activists. Such problems are one of the reasons why I decided at one point to totally abandon camp-based campaigns, and to concentrate on other things.
I have been woken by someone preaching the Old Testament outside my bender every morning for a week at Solsbury Hill; woken up by someone wielding a stave at my head in the dead of night at the M11 [maybe they just didn't like you?], had to help prevent two onsite suicide attempts at Twyford, been puked on, pissed on, had all my eviction stash eaten by a 'nomadic druid' the day before the eviction; these are just the more interesting events. Not to mention the daily cold drudgery of having your campaign enthusiasm (never mind your will to live) sucked away by assorted 'energy vampires' and 'lunchouts'. It's a big problem, but I think the author generalises too much and that his solution would only exacerbate the situation. Other points also need to be made.
There are four distinct groups of people the above article lumps together. Care in the community types, drug abusers (as opposed to simply users), people suffering mentally as a result of campaigning, and those acting like parasites. Quite often some or all four combine in one person, but to generalise is to write off too many people.
The article gives the idea that there is a clean division between 'sorted campaigners' on the one side and 'lunch outs, 'dime bars' and 'energy vampires' on the other. People with serious mental problemas are rarely 'useful' on campaigns. But the reality is that many of our best activists drink too much, take too many drugs, go through bouts of severe depression and waver on the edge of insanity - I know I do!
Though he does mention that 'the close knit community can bring people together', the author's underlying assumption is that the role of camps is primarily to resist the destruction - "Ask not what the camp can do for you, but what you can do for the camp." He seems to suggest that we should leave our emotional baggage at home and if we begin to crack up, leave the campaign - effectively, we are discarded when we are no longer 'productive'. But I would argue that the primary aim of campaigns is to rebuild communities and create a movement that can really transcend industrial capitalism as a whole. The rather minor effect we have on industry is less important than the way in which our campaigns affect us and our movement. In a socially fragmented world, the mad arena of campaigning is, frighteningly, one of the few opportunities we have for "group therapy' and individual and collective evolution.
If 'Group therapy' sounds too much to you like Alcoholics Anonymous, think again. The real ecological and anarchist communities on this planet are tribes. Tribes deal with their problems collectively, they talk about them.
The article above says in effect that rather than work on healing each other together, we should sort out our problems individually. That we should keep our personal and political lives separate. Even worse it proposes that people 'with problems' should seek help from 'professionals' - presumbly psychiatrists and drug counsellors. While there are many good people in these professions, most of those sectioned at Newbury could point out that there are many others who'll just fuck you up more. Also, the article overlooks the question of how you gain immediate access to such services if you are poor. Why are there so many 'care in the community' individuals on road camps in the first place?
People drink, take too many drugs and sink into delusion for a huge variety of reasons. For instance I know quite a few 'brew crew' who have, when given responsiblity, straightened themselves out. Nobody ever told them that they could be more than they were so they never became anything else. Alcohol & drugs can really badly screw us up. For instance taking acid in a beautiful valley may be wonderful, but taking it surrounded by destruction isn't a good idea. If we can support each other then people will not need to turn to chemical crutches which may further destabilise them.
In relation to those from care in the community I'm in two minds. While they can be very destructive, they can also be a good member of the communty. It depends on the individual. Though protests are not a stable place, what other 'community' is going to care for them? In most cases they are harmless, just strange. It's less a case of getting rid of them and more of getting a greater proportion of relatively sane people.
Another reason for greater collectivity is that some people will just always take the piss. If all else fails I agree that the community needs to expel those that endanger it.
Being radicals means literally looking at the root of the problem. Why does our 'community' bring in such a large amount of alcoholics, drug abusers (rather than simply users), lunch outs, freaks and the blatantly insane?
Firstly, it's a worrying fact that there are substantially more men on camps than women, and the gap is growing. In my experience camps with more women have usually been better able to grasp personal and group problems.
Secondly, our pathetic excuses for outreach, getting new people involved, means that most of our 'recruitment' comes from the British 'alternative' subculture. The subculture is basically a culture of the dysfunctional. Being dysfuctional in a society where function is so destructive and warped is probably a sane move. Hey - we're all misfits - hurrah! However, many in the subculture have been pushed out of 'straight' society becuse they find it difficult to act socially at all. From 'community in care' types to people who just find it difficult relating. While helping each other out, the long term solution is recruting from a wider spectrum. Of course this will bring in people with normative types of insanity. But maybe this would be easier to rationally deal with, though less amusing, than two pissed people fighting each other because they both believe they're King Arthur.
We are more likely to be crushed by our own inabilty to live with each other than by state violence. In our constant rush to action we usually forget to build on our greatest strength- each other. Revolution is Therapy.
Head State Support Group
Direct Action is not without its casualties, at a rough estimate over 15 people were sectioned under the Mental Health Act during and after Newbury, perhaps many more. As someone who was both at Newbury and got sectioned, I am trying now to set up some sort of support providing both letter-writing and legal advice.
If you were sectioned or know someone who was/is, I'd very much like to hear from you. It can be a nightmare for all concerned, but stay strong and all clouds pass over. In the meantime, don't go too manic when you're off protesting and remember to chill out and take breaks.
Much love, Jim

The proper placement of your audio devices speakers, as part of your home cinema system, is a crucial element of the house audio system culture. As a culture, not just do we desire the best tools with excellent quality screw terminal electrolytic capacitors, we without a doubt want the very same noise that we hear in theater. You understand the sound; like the chest thumping lows, and glass tinkling highs.
Nevertheless, given that everyone is so hectic nowadays, a lot of individuals do not put in the time to set their audio tools systems approximately make use of all the boosted capacities. Or, possibly they just do not recognize exactly how to optimize the output of the system they have spent dear bucks to acquire. Besides, it was not a subject in school!
Get What You Pay For
The correct and exact placement of audio speaker tools with high quality screw terminal electrolytic capacitors in the house can result in the optimum enjoyment and also highest top quality of audio for the ordinary house sound system owner. It is a criminal activity of sorts that individuals pay lots of hundreds or hundreds of bucks for an exceptional system, and afterwards they invest no time or initiative to get one of the most take advantage of that system. Here are numerous crucial elements to bear in mind to get the most effective sound possible from your sound devices.
Do Your Own Point
Initially, know that there is no one best arrangement that can be copied amongst numerous settings. Because of such points as space acoustics, furnishings positioning, personal likes and also disapproval, and also the age of family participants, each audio devices setup is somehow distinct. Simply duplicating the arrangement your neighbor uses might not be the ideal point for your house audio and visual movie theater.
The utmost goal for a residence cinema audio speaker system is to duplicate the motion picture theater experience. With planning and design, those extremely demanded features can be accomplished. So, the appropriate action is to produce an in-depth, well-thought strategy for the space that will house the cinema system. Different furnishings positionings need to be discovered for choices. Then, a choice should be made regarding one of the most efficient and useful area style.
Next off; when the furniture plan has actually been prepared, after that the speaker places can be attended to. It is here that the accessibility of furniture positioning alternatives is so important. Some speaker positionings may be much more acceptable than others and having the ability to transform strategies will certainly help choose the most effective total space setup.
Cocoon Of Sound
Remember that the goal is a border of audio. When the system audio speakers are well-placed, the audience will hear a total cocoon of sound devoid of distinct directional impressions. Many people do not position their audio speakers in a proper placement. As a result of absence of knowledge or simply absence of attention to information, individuals will certainly put their audio tools speakers wherever they "fit" or "look excellent". They neglect attaining the finest noise.
The attributes of audio, specifically support as well as suppression, are directly influenced by the area and also all its home furnishings. As a result, the room, its residents, the furnishings, the wall surface treatments, and also the audio devices with high quality screw terminal electrolytic capacitors need to all be considered parts of the house audio equipment speaker system. Everything in the space need to be thought about component of the trouble, and also part of the solution.

Your worth is far beyond than you know…
I think one of the most common question I get apart from how I capture my photographs is how to collaborate with brands as a blogger. Honestly, it solely depends on each person and what you want to get out of working with brands and agencies. If you want to start collaborating, ask yourself questions. Do you want to get paid with money? Are products in exchange for coverage enough? Do you just want exposure and social media activity or do you just want to have fun with it?
But these questions to me, does not matter if you don't ask the most important question of them all. What is your worth?
Blogging is no joking matter. I am sure you agree with me on that. It is time consuming and takes a lot of hard work to conceptualize, produce and materialize content that is original and equally interesting and engaging. I hate to bum you out but to make it work in this industry, we cannot be naive. Because at the end of the day, we want to be able to continue being inspired and look forward to producing content without being taken advantage of. And believe me, in most cases, sometimes we do end up on the losing end if we do not know our worth or understand how the industry works.
Let's be real here and admit to the fact that we all started this as a hobby. But there will always be a point that you have to think of your blog as a business or as a doorway for better career opportunities. When you look at it in this way, you will be better equipped to know how to deal with future collaborations, sponsorships and partnerships because when you look at it as work it will be a totally different game for you. Why? Because when you work, exert effort and put in your experience, you expect compensation. And with how this industry has grown in the past couple of years, and knowing how blogs and social media are being used for actual campaigns and advertising, we cannot be naive and just settle for the freebies forever. We have to be smart enough to know that brands and agencies come to us for a reason – to share and experience their product, to reach out to consumers, and ultimately gain better business and profit in the long run. Know that there are budgets and numbers of opportunities out there.
Obviously, not everyone can be compensated immediately nor is everyone compensated equally. It all depends on your ranking in the industry – your years of experience, the quality of content you can produce and of course, your reach and following. So technically it would be a bit odd to demand an obscene amount if you are just starting out and have nothing on your portfolio, or have a much smaller reach compared to others. Know that it is ok, because we all have to start from somewhere and much like how we move up the professional ladder, take it one step at a time, learn along the way and do your research so you know how to manage and deal with it once given the opportunity.
Barter deals and gifting are also very common, but you have to be mindful as well if it is worth it. At the end of the day, you have to consider your time, the cost and the effort of doing the project, most especially if you are the one on the other end working and putting together the content. I mean if they were the ones doing all the dirty work and paying for all the expenses then of course that can be a great factor to consider but either way, ask yourself, even after all that, would it still be worth it.
Saying NO is also one of the most important things you will have to learn because integrity means a whole lot in this industry. So if you don't believe in a brand or a cause, if you don't see yourself using, wearing, or buying that product, then why say yes? And just because a brand sent you a bracelet or a lipstick or a dress does not mean you have to do a huge featured post. Remember that you are never obligated to post anything and if ever you do, make sure it does deserve that spot in your feed because it is something you honestly love and enjoy. Communication is key and it is always important to be clear with the brand and agencies that you work with about their requirements, your expectations and your limitations.
Participating in campaigns are great opportunities and the experience can be amazing as well but again be mindful of what it will take to participate so make sure that whatever it is that you get to be a part of, it is something you believe in, something you love and something you will enjoy completely, both personally and professionally.
Remember that this is not about money or material things or your status. And this should never stop you from simply working on personal features and projects with brands that you highly believe in sharing or doing something creative for nothing but love in return, because after all, this is our passion. I certainly do this from time to time too, but I definitely have my limits.
It all boils down to knowing what you deserve. Knowing your worth and how you value your time, your skills and talent and the effort you put in the content you produce for your blog matters a lot. Respect yourself enough and know that and in turn, brands and agencies will respect you enough to know your own value as well.
And so to wrap this up, let me end with this small note…
It may just be a hobby, but no matter how you put it, to me, the love we devote for our blog and the content we share is worth so much more, and no amount of money, freebies or exposure will ever be enough.

We are pursuing arrangements for this integrated Muliwaikkal event, putting forward people who had borne the pains. The politicians who have conviction that they are qualified to come before the people and who think conscientiously will come forward by them to participate in this event.

Reveal Matching Symbols in this Asian Themed Dragon Link Slot
Judging by the ornate porcelain vase among the winning symbols, the Golden Century featured in this pokie involved the China's Ming Dynasty. This dynasty ruled China between 1368 and 1644, a time when urbanisation and prosperity were on the increase.
There is a lot more to this pokie than valuable vases. Golden Century pokies are part of the range of games in the Dragon link range and can also be found in Dragon Cash format. The main attraction of all these games is the Hold N Spin feature, which includes a shot at some progressive jackpots.
Here is what to expect from the Asian themed Golden Century Dragon Link pokies:
400+ Games
1-2 Days
+1 More
The Hold N Spin system was pioneered by Aristocrat, and has proven to be hugely popular. You can win some significant cash hits with this – as well as up to 4 progressive jackpots. Whether those jackpots are stand alone or shared between multiple slots will depend on whether you choose the Dragon Link, or Dragon Cash (stand-alone) versions.
To trigger this feature, you will need to hit 6 of the glowing balls showing cash or jackpot amounts in a single spin. This triggers an amazing animation. The whole tall screen gets instantly engulfed in dramatic flames.
When the smoke clears, the reels will look different.
Instead of the usual mix of symbols, the flaming balls are the only ones visible. You will see a message above the reels counting down from 3 free spins. You need to collect as many cash awards as possible, with your spins being reset to 3 every time a new one appears.
You can win mini, minor or major jackpots by getting a ball with this written on it on the reels. To win the biggest jackpot – the grand – you need to cover all the spaces in balls before your spins go to zero.
A flag is used as the scatter symbol in the Golden Century pokies. You need a minimum of 3 to trigger the free games. You will also win a scatter prize for 3+ anywhere on the reels.
You only get 6 free spins – though these are certainly worth hitting. A new symbol appears in long strips on the reels, often covering multiple reels. This shows an ornate doorway. When it opens it will reveal the same symbol in every spot. If this matches with the regular symbols (or is wild) you can win big over most or even all of the win-lines.
These doors can also reveal the glowing balls used in the Hold and Spin feature. Finally, if you get 3+ of the flag scatters, you'll get 3 more free spins.
Like all the Dragon Link / Cash games, you get a choice of denomination. You can change this at any time, simply by hitting the coin size icon on the bottom right of your screen. Choices range from 1c up to $2 in some casinos. You can choose from 25 or 50 win-lines (fewer for the very big denominations).
You'll be able to play Golden Century Dragon Link in these states: NSW + Capital, Queensland, Victoria and Northern Territory. The 'Cash' version is available in the same states, plus Southern Australia.
Regular line wins are helped by emperor Ming. This is the wild symbol, substituting for the regular winning symbols (as usual, not the scatters or the Hold and Spin balls). Other higher paying symbols include the distinctive vase, statues from the terracotta army, two traditionally costumed ladies and a chest full of gold.
I'd rate this pokie as smart, without standing out. The emperor takes pride of place – glaring from the screen above the reels. There are some entertaining animations, including when Ming strokes his pointy beard after a win.
The best animations are those shared by the other Link slots. That flaming effect, plus flames shooting up from your prizes when you complete the Hold N Spin bonus, are both worth seeing.
A solid addition to the Dragon Link family – Golden Century takes a unique Asian theme and adds some familiar features. With big progressives available, you'll only ever be a spin away from a huge prize. In the meantime, wilds in the base game and the free spins with 'reveal' symbols are sure to keep your bankroll topped up.

It's no coincidence that Khasran's most important game, kargat, is based on the constellations (theirs, not ours!) I'm a sky watcher and have been all my life, whether it's the changing weather of the daylight, or the changing of the moon, planets and stars at night. So, like millions of others around the world, I was watching the evening sky on Monday, waiting eagerly for it to get dark enough for me to see this:
I've seen the crescent moon dancing with one of the bright planets more times than I can count, but I don't remember ever seeing a show like this. And I'll never see its like again, unless I live to be a hundred. I tried to induce some enthusiasm in my daughter by telling her, "You won't see this again until you're almost 70." She's 15, she said something equivalent to, "Meh" and returned to her text messaging. But maybe when she is 70 and sees this conjunction again, she'll tell my great grandchildren how she and her mom watched the last one together.
What does this have to do with worldbuilding? I'm getting there. And what's the point of having a blog if I can't digress a little?
Getting back on topic, worldbuilders naturally tend to build their worlds around their own interests. Making the sky, the stars and the weather important in my little world came without even a deliberate thought. I like astronomy and weather, so I put them in. Here's a little of my worldbuilding process for how I reverse engineered my interests into a believable slice of invented culture:
Astronomy is important in Khasran because the Khasrani are an outdoor people. They track the seasons by the changing sky and even navigate by it if they're traveling at night. Their culture began out on the wide grasslands under that endless sky, where the night sky is one of the best visual feasts. That's why kargat patterns start with the main constellations, and every child learns them at an early age.
If this were science fiction, I'd have to invent some different lunar and planetary configurations and research how they'd look in the sky, just to have a believable alien world. Since this is fantasy, I don't have to be so scientifically correct. I decided to leave the earth's rotation and its relationship to its moon, pretty much like ours, so that I don't have to worry about different lengths of days and years and different moon phases. The moon might be a bit bigger and brighter than ours, and it's definitely got a different pattern of craters than our moon's "man in the moon" face. Presumably the solar system must have other planets, but I don't know if they're visible, as they've never appeared in the process of developing kargat or in any other story.
I do know one distinctive thing about Khasran's astronomy. They have an annual meteor storm during the Northern Hemisphere summer. Not a little meteor shower like we're used to here, with tiny, blink-and-you'll-miss-'em shooting stars for a night or two. This is a meteor STORM–look it up, they're real enough, but rare here on Earth. Dozens, even hundreds of meteors cross the sky by the minute, with hot blue heads and bright flashing tails that light up the night sometimes as bright as day. It goes on for several days, and the Khasrani believe this annual "rain of fire" helps to rebalance the sun/fire energy with the water/rain energy after the wet season. They make it one of their biggest annual festivals, when everyone stays up all night to watch the sky and party. It will come into a story one of these days, then we'll all see what its like.
PS, this post is the first image in the blog, too, fist bumps to me! I had to download this one from AP; I'll give myself high fives when I figure out how to link directly to an image on another site.

When is the best time to use <ejb-link>? Do I have to use it everytime I want to make a reference from an EJB to another EJB?
Created May 4, 2012

It allows an Application Assembler to reference an EJB by name without the need to have unique names for all beans by constantly renaming them for the J2EE application. And, ofcourse, such cannot be guaranteed if one buys third-party bean components.
The example you have shown is one way that assumes the reference's EJB is in the same ejb-jar file as the referencing bean. The other way is to use a path-name
The Deployer is then responsible for binding the ejb-link references to the home of the target bean.

From Psychology of Women Quarterly
The term "masculine women" describes women who identify, or are socially recognized, as women, yet display masculinity broadly through appearance, behavior, and interactional styles. Researchers have suggested that masculine women often identify as lesbian or queer and, as a result, can face a double stigma due to both their gender nonconformity and their sexual orientation. Being perceived as a man or a woman significantly influences work experience due to gender inequality and persistent sex segregation in the workplace. Women may be the targets of prejudice and discrimination at work because of both their position in work structures and gender stereotypes that influence expectations for women at work including their tasks, authority, behavior, and occupation. Masculinity exists as a continuum, and while some masculine women can use concealment strategies, such as feminizing their appearance, other women are too masculine to avoid detection. In this study, the author interviewed 49 self-identified masculine women in the United States to examine how they negotiate stigma in the workplace.
In this study, the author interviewed 49 self-identified masculine women in the United States to examine how they negotiate stigma in the workplace. Masculine women often negotiate dual stigmas due to both their gender nonconformity and perceived sexual orientation. Participants used a variety of strategies to cope with their stigmatized identity including modifying clothing; incorporating feminine behaviors to counteract masculine appearance; working in high-demand, undesirable jobs; working in male-dominated settings; and opting out of formal work organizations. While some participants experienced mistreatment in male-dominated settings, many reported positive outcomes including strong relationships with male coworkers, opportunities for advancement, and a general comfort in the work environment. Participants challenge Goffman's notion of sexual orientation as a concealable status, showing that sexual orientation minority women who are gender nonconforming employ strategies similar to members of other visibly stigmatized groups. Findings from this study suggest that researchers addressing sexual orientation minorities should include gender expression as a variable that can influence individual experiences and outcomes.
