Anthony Bourdain In Saudi Arabia Tonight
July 21st, 2008 · 2 Comments
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Remember last season when the Travel Channel kept asking for No Reservation fans to send in their videotapes to convince Tony to travel to their favorite locales? Well, probably like you, I considered doing it, but slacked out.
Luckily, this chick didn't and now Tony's off to Saudi Arabia!
Until women are allowed to drive and be treated as equals and all that good stuff, I probably won't be going myself anytime soon, so I'm really looking forward to tonight's show. Although personally, I would have chosen the Philippines based strictly on that pig porn shot!
Either way, it should be a good one! Tune in tonight at 10pm.

American Collegians in the Pros
2019 brings triumph for many players
Taylor Linton | February 7, 2019
Both current and former American tennis collegians have had a great start to pro tournaments in 2019. With the Australian Open finishing up and many WTA, ATP and ITF events going on throughout the world, many players have brought home victories.
Jennifer Brady (UCLA): Brady reached the semifinals in doubles at the Australian Open with partner Alison Riske. Immediately after, Brady began playing in the WTA Toyota Thailand Open, where she not only qualified, but defeated world No. 19 Caroline Garcia in the first round. (UPDATE: Soon after, Brady qualified for the WTA Premier 5 in Dubai and defeated world No. 22 Jelena Ostapenko and then Garcia again to reach the round of 16. Brady then reached the finals of the Indian Wells $125K.)
Hayley Carter (UNC) and Ena Shibahara (UCLA): Carter and Shibahara won the women's doubles title at the Oracle Challenger Series in Newport Beach, Calif. The duo has played numerous ITF matches together, winning three titles last year. They were also on Team USA's title-winning squad at the 2016 Master'U BNP Paribas collegiate tournament.
Danielle Collins (Virginia): A member of the gold-medal-winning Team USA squad at the Master'U event in 2015, Collins had never won a grand slam main-draw match before arriving in Melbourne for the Australian Open. That quickly changed as she battled to the women's singles semifinals, bringing her to a Top-25 ranking. Collins was then named a member of the U.S. Fed Cup team for the second time in January.
Maxime Cressy (UCLA): Cressy, a senior at UCLA, brought home the win at the ATP Challenger event in Cleveland on Feb 3. Cressy won the final in a 6-7, 7-6, 6-3 decision against Mikael Torpegaard.
Robert Galloway (Wofford) and Nathaniel Lammons (SMU): Galloway and Lammons won the men's doubles title at the Oracle Challenger Series in Newport Beach. This was Galloway and Lammons' first time playing in a Challenger final, and the duo snagged the victory by winning 7-5, 7-6.
Marcos Giron (UCLA): Giron delivered a win on the ATP Challenger Tour in early January at the Orlando Open at the USTA National Campus. Giron lost just one set en route to the final, where he upset top seed Darian King. (UPDATE: Giron went on to reach the semifinals of the Cleveland Challenger and qualify for the ATP Masters 1000 at Indian Wells where he reached the round of 32. He also won the Indian Wells Challenger doubles title with former Virginia product J.C. Aragone).
Brandon Holt (USC): Holt, who currently plays collegiate tennis at USC, helped take the gold for Team USA at the Master'U BNP Paribas Collegiate Tournament in France in November. Just two months later, Holt strung together five straight wins to capture the trophy at the ITF World Tennis Tour M25 event in Los Angeles trophy and three ATP points.
Govind Nanda (UCLA): The UCLA freshman won his first pro tournament, at the ITF World Tennis Tour M25 event in Tuscon, Ariz. Nanda captured the trophy thanks to a three-set win over former UCLA standout Martin Redlicki in the final.
Rajeev Ram (Illinois): Ram went pro after his sophomore year at University of Illinois, where his team achieved a 32-0 season in 2003. The Olympic silver medalist recently won the mixed doubles title with partner Barbora Krejcikova at the Australian Open on Jan. 26, earning his first Grand Slam championship.
JJ Wolf (Ohio State): Wolf, who currently plays collegiate tennis at Ohio State, represented the Buckeyes by winning the January ATP Columbus Challenger. This accomplishment allowed Wolf to jump in the ATP's Top 300.

Increasingly, small businesses are looking to tools like Timesheet Mobile to track more than just work hours. Sick time and time off tracking is one of those areas.
Timesheet Mobile supports basic tracking of sick time and time off for each individual employee. To credit sick and time off to an employee, use the Control Panel view for the employee as shown below.
In the Employee Details you will find spots to enter credited sick time hours and time off hours. There is also a credit date. This is the date that the hours credited will reset to the initial value. Hours used will be deducted from this total for the annual period commencing on the start date and displayed when adding paid time off (PTO) hours for an employee (see Add Paid Time Off for Vacation Days, Sick Days or Other Codes). See below for an example of how these hours are displayed when adding time off for an employee.
If you allow employees to request time off (see Allow Shift Modification Requests for how to do this) the hours requested and hours available will be displayed in the Pending Shifts in the Reports menu item as shown below.

Our favorite Instagrammable Walls
We asked you, the Pasadena community, to share some of your favorite Instagrammable walls located in our beautiful city. It was too much fun hearing from everyone – thank you! Here's what you shared with us.
One of your favorite walls is located at (our own Dot's Cupcake's) Dots Café & Bakery. This location has three different exterior murals and beautiful wallpaper throughout the interior of the cafe. So basically get four Instagrammable walls in one #winning.
Some of our favorite Pasadena bloggers like @teamsparkle, @thatkodygirl, @fancytreehouse and @leannebarlow shared these pastel, floral and cheerful walls.
We love this wall shared by @perrichon87 and @itskrissiee. It's located on Christensen Alley right near One Colorado. The rainbow details against the gray backdrop make this art piece pop.
This color melt wall located at The Art Center College of Design was shared by so many of you! We love these colorful shots by @notahippychick and @lewildexplorer and @eviemgal. We wonder if artist Risk Rock was inspired by the melted crayon artwork phenomena.
You'll "Shine Bright" in front of this new mural that was painted by @amytangerine in 2018 for the Southern California Children's Museum. We love this wall because its colorful and vibrant sun gives so much joy to those who jump and pose in front of it, like @principessa.stella and @cozmosadventures!

Greetings Loved Ones!
I hope you have all had a pleasant nights rest and are ready to starta new week. I am personally decompressing after work and willeventually be heading to bed (currently it is 10:36 pm).
It is hard to believe that I have been in South Korea for a month already, it is getting hot and we are well into the throes of rainy season here. I will probably have to learn to walk gracefully in heels so that my pants will not be in a constant soaking wet stage. It is rather uncomfortable and can be very distracting. Other than that andthe dangerous (when wet) marble that is everywhere, I am enjoying my time here and I am getting acclimated very quickly. I still am very much in what one would call the silent period if you study linguistics or language learning theory, but each day my "survival Korean" is getting better. I am hoping to be able to start taking Korean classes in September on Saturdays after intensives are done. But I am not scared even though everyone keeps telling me that Korean is a really hard language to learn. Its true it probably is but not any more difficult then any of the the other languages that I have tackled or will eventually get around to tackling.
I am starting to meet people and make friends, what is nice is thatthey are from all over the world, and they provide interesting insight not only about the world, but also about how Americans are percieved.There has been some very interesting discussions about that already. I am also beginning to understand why these stereotypes aboutAmericans exist... having met some of the stereotypes personally I am rather ashamed to be lumped into the same group as them. But this isall part of the change when moving abroad and dealing with the"culture shock" that is bound to happen. I do have culture shock moments-- some of them have to do with the food, and some of them have to do with things like common courtesy-- like not running down others while you are pushing your children in a stroller (it happens here alot) or trying to decipher what something is based on the pictures. Pictures can be terribly misleading-- if I can't figure out whatsomething is I usually don't buy it. And the red sauce here can belethal... so beware! Or being singled out because you are obviously not Korean.
But along with the negative things I have also had a lot of positive experiences like meeting people I would have never met before, feeling very succuessful when I was able to take a cab by myself for the firsttime (on Sat.-- even though he did take the long route and the fare was 11,000 won (the equivalent of 11 dollars)), I have gone to my first football/soccer match- it was the Queen's Peace Cup (women'ssoccer) New Zealand vs. South Korea, I have tried curry, sushi, Indian food, and have even eaten shrimp (though that was not the bestexperience). I am finding myself a little more independent each day and am becoming a little more bold in trying new things whether its asking for the price or wandering off a little bit farther than I am use to. The metros still kind of freak me out and I don't forsee myself going on them by myself anytime soon.
But as great as everything has been there has also been days that havebeen horrible and I have wondered why I even bothered to come here. But those days are few and far in between and for the most part I amdoing well with it, though I do miss people from home. But I do have a proposition for that-- I am trying to make my apartment feel more like home and with that I have a little fridge/freezer combo and a armoiretype thing that are in need of some serious decoration, so if you (or your kids) are inclined to write letters, draw pictures or send pictures I will put them up on either my fridge combo set, or my closet doors, and will email pictures with each update that I send...:-)
If any of you know of anyone who would like to teach English in SouthKorea for a year, there are two openings at my school in Suwonstarting the end of August. You do have to have a bachelors degree andthe school would reimburse you for your flight to and from SouthKorea, provides housing, pays 2 million won a month (which is about2,000 dollars), and pays a lot of heath care costs, there is a plan--and at the end of your contract there is a severence/ bonus, you get apension from the government. So if you know of anyone that isinterested let me know.
If you would like my contact information send me an email and I will make sure you get the information.
This turned out to be a long and kind of intense email. :-) If there is anyone that is not currently on this email list that you think would enjoy getting updates let me know and I will add them to my list.
Send questions that you have, because then I will know more aboutwhat to say in my next email :-)

Season 7 of the multi award-winning drama Wentworth returns with the prison on the brink of imploding as the fiery confrontation between the two emerging titans, Rita and Marie, is imminent after series 6's bloody finale.
With the case of Joan Ferguson presumably closed, a significantly pregnant Vera and her co-conspirators in the Freak's demise, Will and Jake, are off the hook, at least for now. Meanwhile, Wentworth's eclectic mix of misfits are fracturing as the powers of love, deception and revenge threaten to break them apart for good.
Protection is the overarching theme of this latest installment, with even our noblest heroes becoming morally compromised in their mission to defend the people they love, even if it has deadly consequences. The on-set of dementia finds Liz clutching at any semblance of hope while Boomer has to deal with the residual of her broken family.

Children represent a quarter of our population and informing them about safety and preparedness is an integral part of our community's resiliency. Youth are strong and resilient in the face of disasters, often adapting to stresses that weaken most adults, and yet they are incredibly vulnerable. Young children, in particular, are completely dependent upon many systems in their lives for their survival: their parents, their broader families and communities, the institutions and organizations that care for them and teach them, and officials and policy-makers who shape their environment.
With this in mind, SOS Tillamook and Garibaldi Elementary School teamed up to bring a specific focus for October's Red Ribbon Week (RRW.) RRW is a week of awareness for youth focusing on drug and alcohol prevention. However, "We need to move beyond just saying 'no,'" comments DeAnna Pearl, SOS Tillamook Program Manager. "We need to help students learn about why we say 'no' and how it can protect one of the most valuable organs in our body, our brain." By protecting our brains, we have a better chance of being safe and growing to our potential.
DeAnna visited GES 4/5th grade classrooms to talk about safety, how it works, and why we have rules. One question led to another. DeAnna, "How does walking on the sidewalk keep our brains safe?" Reply, "So we don't get hit by a car!" DeAnna, "How do we keep our brains safe when we are sad? "Reply, we talk to a friend or adult." DeAnna, "How do we keep our brains safe on the beach?" Reply, "Watch out for sneaker waves and don't turn your back on the ocean." DeAnna, "How do we keep brains safe from drugs or alcohol?" Reply, "Say no thanks, I got to feed the alligator in my back yard!" One of the best responses over the three days: "I didn't know that there is a reason for rules."
With this theme in mind, SOS Tillamook invited all GES 4-5th grade students to submit a picture depicting what being safe looks like for entry into the 2019 SOS Tillamook Calendar. The theme of the calendar is, "Prevention is Intention: Preparedness and Safety." Of the artwork submissions, 20 were chosen as finalists. On Nov.15th at the GES Family Night, the final selections were displayed so attendees could vote on their favorite. The winning artists receives a certificate and recognition.
Watch your mailbox for the 2019 "Prevention is Intention – Building Safety Resiliency in Our Community" SOS Tillamook calendar featuring drawings from Garibaldi Grade School students about how to be safe. Other features include safety and preparedness information and community resources.

In any industrial setting, your initial focus might be on human productivity and figuring out ways to reduce inefficiencies. However, focusing on energy-efficient machines is also a wise decision that could positively impact your bottom line. Below, we'll look at some reasons why there's no better time to make a permanent transition toward specialized machinery that supports your energy-efficiency goals.
A Potential Rebate on the Purchase Price
Investing in new heavy-duty machinery becomes significantly more attractive when there's an available rebate that lowers the cost. Canada and Japan are two countries that offer such eventual discounts, and there are strong arguments that a similar program is appropriate elsewhere. Many states already provide tax credits for businesses wishing to upgrade to an energy-efficient HVAC system, so it makes sense to expand the program to include other enhancements.
Only Run the Machines When Necessary
Many of today's energy-efficient machine tools have specialized idling modes that prevent them from passively consuming electricity. If you are still using outdated machinery that doesn't have that feature, you may be surprised how much of a difference it makes to switch over to using machines that are ready to go when needed, but don't waste energy otherwise.
Benefit From Energy-Efficient Drive Components and Motors
The feed-axis motors and spindle are among the key parts of today's machine tools. There have also been impressive advancements in the amount of energy consumed and the resultant power output. In other words, engineers have figured out how to manufacture drive components capable of efficiency values that are greater than 95 percent, without compromising the robust power levels required in the machine industry.
Another way to maximize energy efficiency is to ensure the parts consistently operate at or near their respective power ratings. That's especially crucial for a spindle. When a spindle moves at a rate far below the optimal level, intrinsic losses result that negatively affect the overall energy balance. In turn, a process such as milling takes longer to complete when the parts can't operate at the ideal speeds.
With these things in mind, it's important to strongly consider upgrading to drive components that maximize energy efficiency. Furthermore, machine operators should monitor proceedings carefully to ensure all the affected parts move in a manner that matches their power ratings. When both these things occur, energy efficiency levels rise.
Electric servo motors are frequently used in machine tools. They're ideal for reducing or eliminating fuel use, maintaining a cooler operating temperature than some other kinds of motors and working at very low noise levels. However, even when depending on energy-efficient motors such as those, it's essential to ensure the surrounding components are also functioning at peak efficiency levels.
Streamline Your Processes
Numerous pieces of energy-efficient machinery are finely tweaked to perform processes as swiftly as possible. It may not seem like a major improvement when a machine can take care of tasks several seconds faster than a previous model that used more energy. However, those collective seconds add up and become minutes. When you're in a shopfloor environment and trying to reduce waste, looking at current processes is a good starting point. You may not even realize how inefficient your operations are until you take a look at the machinery that can help you get more done in less time. That kind of energy-efficient equipment is an especially good investment because it cuts operating costs as well as labor needs.
Tap Into Regenerative Power Strategies
Today's hybrid and electric vehicles often have regenerative braking systems that allow for the recycling of the kinetic energy associated with slowing a car down. This kind of engineering causes less energy expenditure, so a vehicle can go further without requiring fuel or needing to be plugged in.
Similar regenerative energy principles are also successfully used for energy-efficient machinery. In one case study related to machining centers at the Brother company, energy consumption went down by approximately 80 percent. Even if your results are not that dramatic at first, it's easy to see why exploring regenerative power options for your machinery is a worthy venture.
Most of the items discussed above relate to benefits you and your company could enjoy after using energy-efficient machinery. In closing, don't forget that energy-efficient machine tools may have fewer breakdowns because they're so finely engineered for reliable long-term use. Plus, energy-efficient possibilities support your budgetary goals, while simultaneously being kinder to the planet by reducing emissions.

I am Rod Czlonka and I survived terminal brain cancer. Every doctor I spoke to told me that I was going to die. All of them spewed the same dismal statistics and doomsday prophecies, but I chose not to accept that diagnosis or the conventional treatments which accompanied it. Instead I made a decision to live, and to learn the secrets of cancer. This book is the culmination of that reasearch and the blueprint for my life.

Tomato Curried Potatoes
4-5 Yukon gold or baby new potatoes, cut into large chunks (I don't bother to peel them - a bonus when you use thin-skinned potatoes like YG)
1 cup crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, or 2 tomatoes pureed in the food processor
1 1/2 tsp. curry powder or paste
1Boil the potatoes until tender. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil and add the potatoes; toss them around a bit. Add the tomatoes, paprika, curry powder, chili powder, sugar and salt and cook for 5-10 minutes, until the potatoes are well coated and the extra moisture has cooked off.

I'm part of a huge Facebook group where people who work at different sized churches all communicate best practices and ideas. I recently saw someone in the group suggest we break the group into multiple groups, based on the size of church. They felt they weren't learning from the folks who worked at larger churches. I see it like this: They found themselves in the deep end of the pool and wanted to go back to comfortable depths. Now, there's value in that, but I also think that's not where you should stay.
Here are three depths I think everyone should continually experience in their life.
1. The comfortable depth.
This the enjoyable depth in life. You have some freedom for discovery, but you also know nothing too bad will happen. You're surrounded by other people with similar skills as you, consequently, the conversations are all about things you appreciate. There's a benefit to comfortable depths. But if that's the only place you live, that's unhealthy.
2. The shallow depth.
I believe there's benefit for those who return to the shallow depths. Thinking of the FB group, these would be the folks from large churches, communicating with the ones from small churches. First of all, it helps you regain perspective and appreciation for how far you've come. But it also gives you an opportunity to invest in those who aren't as far along as you. You actually learn a ton as you teach others.
3. The deep end.
Finally, though, I think people need to jump into the deep end from time to time. It's those places that are scary, that feel beyond our ability. This is where you realize how far you have yet to go, but also what's possible. You see there's so much more than what you currently experience. It gives you something to aim toward. And it heightens your skill, so when you return to the comfortable depths, you realize you can actually go deeper this time.
We should continually grow as life-swimmers. But that doesn't mean we leave people behind. Let's reach for new depths and then reach back to bring others along with us.

A highly critical report of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that highlighted poor leadership, excessive waste, the misplacement of medical supplies and endangering patients at its Washington, D.C., hospital has led to senior leadership changes at more than 20 hospitals throughout the country.
Overview of medical malpractice categories
As regular readers of our San Antonio Legal Blog know, we regularly focus on medical negligence issues of importance to veterans and veterans' families. These issues are not limited to those who have served in our nation's military, however.
VA problems continue to threaten patient safety
The nation's health care system for military veterans continues to be racked by problems. Last year, politicians promised that the billions of dollars to be spent on a digital medical records system would deliver "faster, better and far better quality care."
Texas Supreme Court OKs expert report in medical malpractice case
The Texas Supreme Court has reversed an appeals court dismissal of a medical malpractive lawsuit. The high court ruled that an expert's report cited in the dismissal is good enough for the case to go to trial. The suit over a botched eye surgery was filed by Barbara Baty against certified registered nurse anesthetist Olga Futrelle.

Advantages of Implementing Membership Software
There is a great deal of complexity that comes with trying to keep a member base organized. Companies that have membership elements as part of their business model will no doubt have to utilize a long list of options to keep everything in place. Whether you use online spreadsheets, or the current desktop software, you'll find that it's easy to misplace information, upgrade different member benefits, and much more. It's not only a time-consuming process, it's easy to succumb to human error. Finding a way to stay organized, and maintain membership information, without having to hire more people to manage spreadsheets can be a great thing, and that's where membership software starts to become advantageous.
Know More About Your Membership Profile
There are several questions that you will need to answer about your business if you're going to grow your platform. For instance, do you know when subscriptions are coming through the most? Do you know about events that are organized to help networking? Furthermore, do you have relational data about those that are signing up for memberships within your site, or business? If you don't know the answers to these questions, or get the answers within a split second, then you're behind the ball. To ensure that you're not lost in a sea of information, membership software can assist. It can help by isolating organizational data, and ensure that you have answers to the most important questions that pertain to your business model.
Interact With Your Members Faster
Another reason why membership software is advantageous is in regard to communication. Staying in touch with your members, without having to send mass emails, and work through contact forms in a one-by-one basis can free up time for you to work on other things. For this reason, you may want software to help you with sending out interactions, and keep everything from falling into a bulk bin in your email system. By doing this, you'll convey to your members that they are important, and that you're not just leaving them alone amidst a large membership website.
Organization Above All Else
Perhaps the biggest advantage of having software to help with membership data and sites relates to organization. When you have everything at a fingertip, whether it's information or it's communication platforms, you'll be able to interact with more of your customer base, and even build your membership protocol faster. Disorganization on the backend of member's only pages is one reason why many people leave certain sites. You don't want to have a high sign up ratio, then have a majority of people cancel before they see your updates, or re-up on their subscription fees. You want to make sure that everything is streamlined, easy to access, and well organized from the first entry to when a member decides to leave. Everything should be simple, and that's where a good bit of software comes into play. Without organization, you'll find that it's difficult to manage, onboard new people, and stay connected with your member base. That's a big deal in regard to membership sites, that's for sure.

The holiday season has, sadly, come to an end. With the new year come resolutions and the inevitable diet and exercise regimes from indulging just a little bit too much. Of course, it often goes that pets have a little too much to eat as well over the Christmas period and so your exercise regime also becomes theirs. As a helper to you and your pet, we have compiled a little guide to help you and your pet get fit not just over the new year but in general.
- Walking
Every dog needs a walk at least once each day. Taking your pooch for an hour long trot is incredibly beneficial for both of you. Your dog gets to run and work off some of their energy, and you get a low level cardiovascular workout. Not only that, but you both get to socialise with other dogs and owners – which is great for your mental health and your dog's. If you get bored of the same walking spot be sure to mix it up and find new and exciting places to explore. Beaches and woodland are great in terms of a change of scenery but also exercise (especially the beach, walking in sand is hard work!).
2. Running
If walking is a little too slow paced for you, or perhaps you are looking for the next step then give running with your dog a try. There are so many places to run, from open fields to quite riversides. In fact, when it comes to riversides it can be an ideal place for you to take a rest and let your pooch have a swim – swimming is incredibly good exercise for your dog. It's excellent cardio for you, and it's a lot of fun for you both.
3. Agility
Agility training is active and fun for both you and your dog. It presents a mental and physical challenge for your canine companion, and it's one that many of them enjoy. There are quite a few agility centres across the country where you can train your pet and it makes an enjoyable activity. It's great for that extra physical activity but also makes a brilliant bonding exercise between you and your dog as you improve on communication and teamwork.
4. Eating Healthy
It may seem like the most obvious one, but it is important to stress the important of a healthy diet – both for humans and animals. While you may be cutting out the junk in your diet, make sure you are doing the same for your pet. Are you prone to feeding our dog the slightly more than occasional treat? It might be worth giving the Natural Dog Food Company's natural dog treats a try. Chicken flavoured and shaped like little hearts they make a good and healthy alternative to general doggie treats. You can find them here. Of course, however, be sure to give your dog treats in moderation!
We hope that 2016 has started wonderfully for you and that these little tips for you and your dog have been of help to you.

Building a Static Website on Amazon S3 With Microservices
Building a Static Website on Amazon S3 With Microservices
Learn how to build a static website made up of microservices developed with the help of an API gateway and AWS Lambda.
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
The trend of hosting static websites on Amazon S3 is a becoming very popular. This approach has been adopted by many organizations due to its advantages over traditional server-based hosting. Static websites are websites that do not require any runtime environment like JRE, .NET, etc. and are mostly based on HTML, CSS, JS, and other static resources (audio/video files, documents, etc.). AWS provides all the necessary services and tools that enable you to build and manage static websites on the AWS cloud very easily.
Like other cloud-based hostings, there is no CAPEX investment. However, there is a negligible operational cost for hosting the static website. You can find more benefits here.
First, we will discuss some of the main architectural components of the system. This discussion will help you understand all the building blocks and workings of the system. The architecture you choose to build for your website will depend entirely on your requirements. At the end of the blog, we will also provide a step-by-step guide on building a static website on AWS.
The first mandatory service required is S3. It is a secure and durable object storage service that enables you to store your files in cloud-based storage units called buckets. Every file inside a bucket has a unique URL associated with it that can be used to access it if the user has the privileges. As a first step, you would need to upload the complete contents of a static website into an S3 bucket. Enabling web hosting and making the bucket public will enable it to serve the content of your website. More details can be found here.
When you have hosted your website on S3, you will have an AWS region-based default website endpoint which you can directly use to access the website. You also have the option to map your custom domain to point to your static website default endpoint, and this is where Route53 comes into play. Details on how to use Route53 for this purpose can be found here.
Cognito (Optional)
To provide an authentication mechanism for your website, you can use AWS Cognito. You can create a pool of users and provide a login to the users in that pool. Cognito user pools offer functionality for federated identity providers (for example, login via Facebook and Google), password recovery, and user authorization security in the cloud.
Microservices Development (Using Lambda, API Gateway, and RDS)
You can develop microservices using a combination of API Gateway and AWS Lambda. These microservices can be used directly by your website to GET and POST data from a data source. Hence, your static website can also have the functionality of a dynamic webpage. For example, on an event (e.g. click of a button, form submission, etc) you can use Jquery Ajax to call the microservice to load data and display on the web page.
You can create microservices for complete CRUD operations and more with the help of these services within your website to make your site act fully dynamic. Similarly, you can create microservices which interact with other AWS services like SES in case you want to send email notifications through the website.
Basically, you use the AWS SDK to write Lambda functions that provide functionality for your microservice. Through Lambda, you can communicate with any AWS service. API Gateway integrates with Lambda to provide you with an API endpoint.
Step-by-Step Guide
Basic Configurations
Go to the S3 console and create a new bucket with default settings
Go the propertiesof your bucket and choose the option "Static website hosting."
Enable the option "Use this bucket to host a website."
Provide the names of the HTML to be displayed as the homepage and the HTML file that will be displayed in case an error occurs on your site.
Optionally, provide redirection rules if you want to route requests conditionally according to specific object key names, prefixes in the request, or response codes to some other object in the same bucket or external URL.
Now, go the Permissionssection of your bucket and add the following into your Bucket Policy section:
"Principal": "*",
Replace your-bucket-name with the name of your bucket.
To enable your S3 static website to respond to requests like GET and POST coming from an external application hosted on a certain domain, you would need to configure CORS in your bucket settings. To do this, add the following into the CORS configuration section of Permissions:
<!-- Sample policy -->
Upload your code. For this tutorial, create two simple HTML files by the name of index.html and error.html and upload them to the bucket.
To launch and test the site, the endpoint can be retrieved from Properties > Static website hosting.
Enrich Your Website by Adding Dynamic Behavior
You can use a combination of HTML5 and CSS3 to graphically enrich your website. You can also use Jquery Ajax to call an API (microservice) and dynamically fetch data from a data source and display it on your website. Similarly, by invoking API endpoints using Ajax, you can store any kind of user's data back to your data source, like any other web application. If your requirement is to use AWS only for all your development needs, you can use a combination of API Gateway and Lambda to build APIs, a tutorial for which can be found here.
CORS Settings in API Gateway Endpoints
It is important to note that when developing APIs (microservices) using an API Gateway and Lambda, make sure to do the following:
Enable CORS in the API gateway at the time of creating a new resource.
When writing the lambda function (which you will integrate with the API Gateway endpoint to provide functionality to your microservice), make sure to add an additional parameter into the response header by the name of Access-Control-Allow-Origin with the value "*"
If you are the following the tutorial I mentioned before for developing microservices, for this purpose, you can observe the following line of code in the example function handler given in that tutorial:
headerJson.put("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
If your website is mainly informational, does not expect too many changes, and the goal is to achieve easy management and low cost, then S3 should be your first choice. Also, using a service-oriented architecture, as shown above, can dynamically display data and post data back to any data source, which gives you the power to make your website achieve many functionalities.

Most popular software casino and casino games
So online casinos that cooperate with Dragonfish offer players a fairly large number of game models. This arsenal includes popular online games that have brought the company success (Monopoly, Zuma, Cluedo, and many other emulators). Also, the range of emulators includes "traditional" retro machines characterized by three reels and a minimum number of pay lines. As you already know, these products make up the bulk of the Dragonfish (Random Logic) portfolio. But despite this, the Dragonfish developer can also offer to enjoy blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, and their variations.
The gaming platform is characterized by the most realistic gaming environment for any client. Besides, Dragonfish presents new versions of traditional online games with unique features and new rules. The company's employees are always trying to modernize their obsolete models, so the developer invites us to enjoy the game with live dealers. Therefore, players can play with a charming croupier at any time. Flexibility and an ability to maximize the adaptation of casino software to meet the needs of customers are the main advantages of the developer. This ensures the universality of software. Also, we can appreciate the high level of graphics and the overall design of online games that were released thanks to the hard work of high-end engineers, programmers, and designers. All of the above aspects made Dragonfish the leading provider that is very popular among various online casinos. Today, the portfolio of Dragonfish Corporation includes more than 900 online gaming models.
It is worth noting that the Dragonfish provider has an unlimited number of online slot machines with different bonuses and progressive jackpots. This is available due to the possibility of licensing online games from third-party developers. If this is not enough for you, then the employees of the firm can offer bingo, video poker, instant lotteries, online bets, and other products. It is worth noting that it is difficult to find a developer that could offer a greater range of online games. Thus, most online casinos rely on Dragonfish.
Info about mobile software casino
All casino products of the Dragonfish provider are offered in three formats. Firstly, this is a downloadable version that must be installed on a desktop PC with the Windows operating system. The second category includes models for running in the browser. The third option includes emulators created using HTML5 technology that are available for download to mobile devices.
It's no secret that the latest option allows attracting a broad audience of participants who prefer to enjoy the gameplay anywhere and anytime. Of course, this positively influenced the development of the brand that is popular among operators of online casinos.
What makes this software (provider) special
Modern players perfectly understand that honesty and security are the main factors while choosing a developer. Recall that the company's software belongs to the 888 company, the game software producer that is regularly tested by an independent audit organization eCogra. So Dragonfish Corporation can prove the absolutely random result of any game. You can see the results of the latest checks in the corresponding section of any online casino that cooperates with Dragonfish (Random Logic).
As a rule, the progressive jackpot is a characteristic feature of video slots. The category of such emulators includes "Grill -Thrills", "Millionaire Genie" and others. Their popularity lies in profitability. But besides, online casinos that cooperate with Dragonfish (Random Logic) offer their customers three options for the game: instant-play versions, downloadable versions, and games to run on mobile devices. Dragonfish also offers Total Gaming Services, which includes marketing tools, a large number of payment methods and operations.
By the way, the portfolio of Dragonfish Company includes more than 900 unique online models that have no analogs. Each online emulator has amazing quality. Even "traditional" models were implemented using modern technologies. Besides, Dragonfish offers an online game with live dealers. But despite this, online slots are the most popular among visitors to online casinos. Customers can also contact Live Support to solve any problem.
Info about software casino bonuses
When it comes to promotions, the Dragonfish casino platform demonstrates its flexibility. Most online casinos with Dragonfish (Random Logic) have a large number of bonus offers and various promotions that exist to encourage players. As a rule, proposals and bonus policies can differ in various "organizations". Therefore, players need to familiarize themselves with the offers of different online operators.
Conclusion and Verdict about software casino
To sum up, it is worth noting that Dragonfish has deservedly taken its place on the market due to high-quality developments that are popular. The Dragonfish provider is also distinguished by reliable protection and honest policy. The assortment of online game models includes almost 1000 products that will satisfy all customer needs.

Yeh there is that possibility, Android being the only realistic choice for myself, however the right 6.5 device like the HD2 or TG01, are the devices which I will probably choose from in August, could easily handle 7
I like Windows Mobile and I like Zune = me :D :D :lol:! Reading rumors early last week that 7 couldn't multi-task made me think of getting an android device when I upgrade later on in the year, but that video has made me change my mind on 7 completely.

A discussion on Mobile Commerce
El Boyo replied to realaxed's topic in The LoungeHi, I'm a Business student here in the UK. The first two questions can be answered with a no because we'd rather use a proper web browser, a proper computer and have anti-viurs software so our private and confidentional data couldn't be hacked into. As question 3 and 4 relate, price is a factor for the majority of users. We don't really want to run up huge bills through our GPRS or our HSDPA connections. And if your from Yorkshire like me where we are all tight and not like spending money them nobody would connect to the web on their mobile. Myself I find the social networking apps and sites most useful and will also browse on eBay alot when I'm out of the house however I won't use my GPRS connection because its rather expensive so I will also find a Wi-Fi hotspot or something. Once privacy and our own personal data is safe for mobile OS's and mobile browsers then it would be a start to motoviate people as they would feel safe to use e-commerce on a mobile scale. Personally I don't really have much need for on the go web connectivity as I've a wireless internet connection at home and them at school which is the same however I do know people that want and use web on the move either through their GPRS or HSDPA connections on their phones where they have unlimited data tariff or will use dongles which plug into their laptops or netbooks. To conclude I can see 'm-commerce' being more promintent in future years as companies will find solutions for the privacy issues which people have but for now people will still go to the shops or use e-commerce.

Wild greens known as "horta" have been a staple of the Cretan diet since Minoan times, but with Greece's rapidly worsening economic climate, foraging might once again become a way of life, reports Heidi Fuller-Love.
BBC – We'd been friends for several months before Giorgos invited me to join him on one of his food foraging expeditions. It was a real honour to be invited – I knew it was an honour because of the way my 80-year-old friend issued the terse invitation. "Tha pame na psaxnoume horta," he said ("We are going to gather horta"), in the commanding way hospitable Cretans do when they give you something but don't want the giving to be acknowledged.
It was also daring of him to share his secret spots. I knew this too, because he issued the gruff invitation in the street outside his house and not in the kafeneion – that social meeting space where every event of village life is discussed to the tick-tack tune of tavli backgammon counters and evil-spirit-countering komboli worry beads. This meant that he didn't want anyone else to hear.
People often tend to forget that Greece has only known wealth for the past 30 or 40 years. The wonders of fat-tyred four-wheel drives, linoleum on the kitchen floor and self-cleaning ovens are relatively new in this country. Just 70 years ago there was widespread famine. Hardly surprising then, that the sites where you can find the wild greens that people survived on not so long ago, are very carefully guarded.
Like his neighbours, Giorgos's life is regulated by these foraging expeditions. In February he digs up the golden thistle, askolimbi, whose scrubbed roots – said to be an aphrodisiac – taste like artichoke and are served with octopus and lamb. When it rains he's out at night with a torch fossicking for beige-striped snails that he'll steam, stuff or serve swimming in a sea of red wine. We head out to seek the wild herbs that he'll use to make crisp kalitsounia pies.
Proof that the Mediterranean diet really works, my 80-year-old guide – his body warped like an ancient olive tree – skips nimbly as a satyr along the mountain track ahead of me, as he reminisces about war-time Crete: how he wet his pants when a German soldier caught him stealing and booted his skinny buttocks; how painful it was to be hungry. "Your belly shrivels like a sucked out askamadoura," he says, referring to the Cretan equivalent of the Scottish bagpipes.
An hour's hard walking leads us high into the Lasithi Mountains where the Minoans once buried their dead. We squeeze through a narrow passage between two peaks and emerge in a fertile valley, strewn with the mauve and green striped bells of Messina fritillary and stabbed with tall pink blades of Italian gladioli. This pointillist canvas, after the long trudge through grey-green hillsides, is dazzling, but Giorgos is already at work. Nail-grimed, banana-bunch fingers clutching a spotted, notched knife, he fills his fibre sack with mustard leaves, dandelion, sorrel, and black nightshade. Pausing for breath he points out freshly dug holes in the surrounding field where rare orchids have been dug up. "We never bothered them before, but now – ti na kanoume – what can you do? People dig them up and sell them to collectors. You can feed a family for a month on what they'll pay."
Harvest complete, we haul sacks on shoulders and jog back down the hillside. The stolen orchids have made Giorgos angry. "It's all the fault of Europe. After we went into Europe in 1981 there was money everywhere," he tells me. "My friend's son worked at the bank. He'd call me up and say: 'Hey Giorgos, wouldn't you like a couple of thousand euros to buy a new car?' Of course I did! To me it was free money. I didn't even know what a loan was then."
Back at Giorgos's house we prepare the horta. He lives alone in two small rooms, with an outside toilet. His wife died 20 years ago, victim of a medical error. Her black-eyed photo, dancing at the village festival, feeding her children, or harvesting olives, is pinned to every wall.
The bubbling horta heats the room with steamy-bonfire smells. Giorgos prepares the wild-herb drink rakomeli, mixing the local firewater with honey and heating it over a gas burner. He is still angry. He shows me a recent electricity bill: 180 euros (£137) for two months. As a retired farmer he survives on a pension of 500 euros (£380) a month, but now, as Greece's economic crisis deepens, his pension is to be reduced to 300 euros. He drains the wild herbs and anoints them with olive oil and lemon juice.
"Soon this horta is all I will have to eat," he says as I savour a mouthful of the meltingly textured, mildly astringent greens.
"Soon we will return to the ways of our old folks and it will be hard for us, very hard," he says crumpling the bill in his earth-stained hand.
