A lot of education law is state law, and therefore requires you to research Georgia law and the law of another state. Because the process of researching can vary from state to state, you may want to start with one of the following state-specific research guides:
50 state surveys provide information on the laws of various states on a topic, and are useful if you need to compare the laws of two or more states on a particular subject. Some of the most useful sources for 50 state surveys are:
Many education law cases begin (and often end) with decisions rendered by a local school board or an administrative law judge. There are several specific sources for locating these decisions:
The United States Code is the codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States. It is divided by broad subjects into 54 titles and published by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R) is the codification of the general and permanent rules published in the Federal Register by the departments and agencies of the Federal Government. It is divided into 50 titles that represent broad areas subject to Federal regulation. The 50 subject matter titles contain one or more individual volumes, which are updated once each calendar year, on a staggered basis
The Federal Register (Fed. Reg.) is the official daily publication for rules, proposed rules, and notices of Federal agencies and organizations, as well as executive orders and other presidential documents.

Two years ago, PBS' "Nova" premiered "Making Stuff," a four-part series presenting the most innovative, cutting-edge inventions and ideas that science had to offer. Hosted by New York Times technology columnist, author and perennial "Nova" host David Pogue, the series drew big ratings, and that plus the speed at which technology moves warranted a follow up series on new developments, airing this month. It kicks off with "Making Stuff: Faster" on Oct. 16, followed by "Making Stuff: Wilder" on Oct. 23, "... Colder" on Oct. 30 and "… Safer" on Nov. 6.
"We had so many more stories. And I think in general the stories are far more exciting," says Pogue, who eagerly played the guinea pig in the science experiments conducted in each episode. In "Making Stuff: Faster," he got to test the fastest electric vehicle on Earth and learned how hitting the track with greater force could shave two seconds from his finish time in a footrace. But he got the biggest kick of all sailing aboard the Oracle, the catamaran that won the America's Cup this year.
The carbon fiber racing boat moves three times faster than the wind, thanks to a 100-foot wing replacing the fabric sails and an underwater foil that lifts its twin hulls out of the water. "It's very magic‑carpet‑like," says Pogue. Back on solid ground, he got to drive the Zombie, a 1972 Datsun refitted with 12 lithium batteries that enable it to go from zero to 60 in 1.8 seconds, faster than a Bugatti Veyron.
Since time is money, "… Faster" finds Pogue exploring new developments in efficiency as well as speed. He competes with a UPS messenger using a route optimization program to deliver packages — and loses. He tries out the lightning-fast download speed available in Kansas City, where connections are 200 times faster than average, thanks to fiber optic connections that have replaced copper wire. And, using a real 737 and volunteers, he tests two airplane-boarding theories to find out which plan is more efficient. "The results are surprising, deeply satisfying, and one thing I can promise you is that both methods whooped the butts of the current back‑of‑the‑plane‑to‑the‑front method," he says.
The "… Wilder" episode shows how nature is inspiring innovations in technology, from animal-inspired robots to fibers from hagfish slime to a nonstick substance based on the carnivorous pitcher plant. "We saw robots that can walk on two feet, balance on one foot like a pogo stick. A company called Boston Dynamics created the LS3 for the military, a robotic ox that can carry 400 pounds of gear and go 20 miles on a tank of gas," on challenging terrain impassable by vehicles. Other roboticists are developing a robotic arm based on an elephant's trunk, swarms of tiny robots that work together, inspired by flocks of birds and schools of fish, and a robot that can run as fast as a cheetah.
The eel-like hagfish releases a slime when attacked that contains threads that are 10 times stronger than nylon, but since they don't breed in captivity, scientists are trying to replicate the material in the lab. The pitcher plant's surface traps its insect victims when wet, which inspired SLIPS, a nonstick coating that could have practical applications in graffiti prevention, aircraft deicing and scores of other uses.
In "Making Stuff: Colder," Pogue investigates how lowering temperatures can save the lives of trauma patients (and their organs), improve efficiency, and combat global warming. As grueling as it sounds, the immersive experiment in this episode was one of his favorites in the series. "The Army runs an environmental chamber in Natick, Mass., a huge room where they can simulate any kind of weather. They can control the altitude, humidity, wind, rain, temperature, and they use it to test soldiers and their equipment. They chilled it to 29 degrees, gave me a cold rain shower so I was cold and shivering and made me walk on a treadmill for two hours. Every time I started to get dry I had to go back in the cold shower with a 15 mph wind blowing on me."
"Making Stuff: Safer" covers everything from self-driving vehicles, cyber-security, and muon scanners to bomb-sniffing plants and fighting fires with cornstarch. "Water just drips off walls so you have to stand there for 10 minutes blasting the same spot. And foam is toxic, kills aquatic life. You can spray cornstarch like foam," explains Pogue. "It sticks to the walls and ceiling and puts the fire out immediately."
Although inspection of cargo containers has become more of a priority since 9/11, less than 1 percent of the containers shipped to the U.S. are inspected, and the current laser-based detection system can be fooled easily. "You can put a piece of lead in front of a bomb, and no one can see it," points out Pogue. Scientists have devised a new system based on muons, subatomic particles that are really dense and move at the speed of light. "They go through lead, concrete, steel and they're completely harmless," says Pogue, adding that the 3-D images produced can be used to detect explosives and smuggled humans. "It's cheap and totally reliable. They're going to stop terrorists with this."
Pogue was particularly fascinated by another terrorism-foiling innovation from nature: the plant that turns from green to white in the presence of explosives. "You can plant them along airport corridors, and you've got instant bomb‑sniffing 24/7, for pennies," he says. The episode also raises the question, "Is there such a thing as too safe? We talked to a scientist who is studying children and how they are growing up with helicopter parents. They are growing up in a cocoon. They never learn to take risks. They never learn to skin their knee, to run and play — that's the price to be paid for over-protectiveness."
Pogue and his team covered more stories than the series had room for, such as packing insulation made from mushrooms, a biodegradable alternative to Styrofoam peanuts. These "will end up on the Web" as extras, he says, expecting that there will be no shortage of remarkable innovations by the time "Making Stuff" returns for a third season, possibly as early as next year.

An Unsuitable Heir
By K.J. Charles
Book Review
An understanding of the communication of emotions comes easy in this taste-filled read.
As with previous readings of this author I'm yet again enamored of the descriptive language that makes me part of the world of a London in the 1800's. This monochrome moral view of ethics and odd predications reminds that our world has not advanced but an inch, made so painfully clear in K.J. Charles writings. I've become an unapologetic fan.
The author allows this reader to slip so effortlessly into the period. It's the coming to know and the growing appreciation of people with odd predilections that makes this a delightfully and wonderful journey. They become preferred to the normal.
There's twist and turns that center on the mounting love and slow surging heat between two unlikely lovers. Weaving together the ambiance that brings all this together in a wondrous telling is where this author shines best, in my opinion.
This read is just as wonderful as its precursor. Another treatise about the wondrous eccentricities and outward expressions of the gilded gifted.
Hanging Sword Alley and Justin Lazarus and Nathaniel Roy was the opener to a close that is spectacular. This is the sequel to An Unnatural Vice.
"Oh, I know. You look at people and you see a boring clerk, just another man in a suit. Or you see someone with one arm, and the one arm is all you see. Or even" – he indicated himself – "you see a man. And it looks like it's real because it's what we see, but there's so much wonder on the inside. As if you had a plain packing crate and it was filled with silks and Persian rugs and things that would spill out and make everything beautiful, if only you took the trouble to open it. Do you see what I mean?" – Pen to Mark, An Unsuitable Heir
Poor Emmeline Godfrey appears in the parlor of clever "Mystic Martha" better known as London Seer Justin Lazarus. She's looking for her runaway twins. Fast forward, almost a decade later and they are the Flying Starlings, gifted aerialist that seduce hearts while freeing the spirit. But here's where the story takes an ugly twist.
There's murder, intrigue and ugly torture afoot and it all centers around the lovely male known as Pen (Repentant) Godfrey Starling, he is the lost heir.
With "womanish" good looks and a penchant to ignore the sexual norms dictated by society, he is the outlandish with a kind heart and free soul. Pen and his sister Greta resist the moral dictates of their world to carve out their own ways. Unknown to the twins their independence outside of societal norms carries a price that's paid by others. Death and greed haunts their every step.
My Main Characterizations
The Flying Starlings
Lord Moreton Earl Repentance Taillefer (Repentance Godfrey, Pen Starling) his happiness became defined by the trapeze and the love of a one armed detective. Their mutual passion was at first sight and lasting with a love that seemed created just for them.
Regret Taillefer (Godfrey, Greta Starling) as her twin brother Pen's aerial partner in the Flying Starlings she understands his true heart and loves her brother completely. She'd do anything for….Pen.
Mark Braglewicz is the clever rustic one-armed detective that falls in love with Repentant (Pen) Godfrey, the missing heir. Mark becomes part of Pen's soul and his deepening love. Their passion and shared heat is unapologetic. They learn almost too late how to fight to keep it safe and forever.
Put simply…this is good stuff and a good read. Thank you K.J. Charles

- Kubo set to feature at second FIFA competition at India 2017
- He played as Japan progressed to Korea Republic 2017 knockout stages
- Japanese youngster targets FIFA U-17 World Cup title
While the majority of the FIFA U-17 World Cup participants head to India for their global debut, Japan's Takefusa Kubo will travel to the country relishing the chance of excelling in his second FIFA tournament. The FC Tokyo attacker was, indeed, a surprise inclusion in Japan's FIFA U-20 World Cup squad earlier this year considering his tender age. Kubo was just 15 years and 351 days on the day the tournament began, making him one of the youngest at Korea Republic 2017.
Despite this, Kubo proved that he was not there to make up the numbers. The dynamic teenager featured in three games, notably providing the assist for Japan's match-winning goal in the 2-1 opening victory against South Africa. Such performances are the envy of most peers, but Kubo, who played as a second-half substitute in their solitary-goal defeat to Venezuela in the second round, was still left ruing the knockout stage loss.
"The teams we played against in the tournament: Italy, Venezuela, Uruguay, all advanced to the semi-finals," Kubo, who turned sixteen this June, said to FIFA.com. "Especially Venezuela, they reached the final. Had we won against them, it would have been a different match and campaign for us."
Having said that, it is the international exposure he gained at the global showpiece that will surely stand him in good stead in the future, a fact which the player was quick to acknowledge.
"Playing against the world's top young players was a great experience for me," he explained. "Of course, I could see the difference in levels between us. Now the important task for me is how I can close this gap. "
*From Barcelona to FC Tokyo
*Those following Kubo's game closely are aware just what a great player he could be. In fact, Kubo made headlines in Japan in his even younger days, due to his link with Barcelona. After showing his talents with local side FC Persimmon, he joined FC Barcelona's youth Academy, La Masia, in 2011. He would go on to compete in youth competitions of varying age levels for his team, including finishing his first season in the U-11 league as top goal-scorer with a remarkable 74 goals in 30 games, before winning the MVP award in the U-12 Mediterranean Cup tournament the following year.
Kubo would continue his progress after returning to Japan in 2015. He wrote his name into Japan's footballing history-book when he became the youngest player to play in the professional league, debuting in a J3 League match against AC Nagano Parceiro, representing FC Tokyo's U-23 team on 5 November 2016. At international level, Kubo impressed in last year's AFC U-16 Championship, during which he scored four times as Japan sealed qualification to India 2017. His predatory talents were perfectly showcased when he set up Ritsu Doan for the match-winner against South Africa at Korea Republic 2017, a fond memory which remains vivid for him.
"When I first received the pass from Ritsu, I knew Koki (Ogawa) was calling from the far side," he recalled. "But I thought it was a bit difficult to deliver the ball there. Then, I heard Ritsu calling me from the back, so I made the pass to Ritsu, pretending I would do it to Koki. It became a difficult ball for Ritsu, but he made it. I was very happy that this proved a strike which sealed our progression."
*Lofty goals for India
*Japan will learn the hurdles they must overcome when the U-17 FIFA World Cup draw takes place this Friday. But whoever they are pitted against, Kubo voiced his confidence that Japan can go all the way and win a maiden U-17 World Cup title.
"I played in the U-20 World Cup, so I know what a World Cup looks like," Kubo concluded. "I will definitely share the experiences with my team mates if I am selected for our U-17 World Cup squad. [After failing to go further at Korea Republic 2017], we want to become champions in India this time around and there are no excuses for us not to make it."

Octomom – CHILD RUSHED TO HOSPITAL
And the saga continues… It has just been reported that One of the Octomom's brude has been rushed to the hospital.
A two-year-old male was vomiting after ingesting an unknown substance. He was transported to St. Jude Hospital.
Just as most of the world predicted, it is impossable for one person to care for or to monitor the activities of so many children. Will it take a death before someone steps in to do something about the welfare of the children?
Story still developing…
Octomom – BRINGS HOME 2 MORE AND ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE !
Naudia Sulaiman, Aka Octopussy, brought home 2 more of her brood. The police blocked off streets just so the crazy lady could make it home with 2 more of her kids.
the babies are very pretty and seem to be doing well… Then HELL BROKE LOOSE! There were kids, some of which were not hers, running everywhere. And I swear her lips are getting bigger!
Then the ( Octograndma ) stuck her head in the back sliding door. Looked like Naudia tried to shut her head in the door trying to keep her out. Ole Octograndma don't take none of Naudia's shit! I'm not real sure what she was upset about but the old lady was giving Naudia HELL! Way to go Octogranny!
They then went to the park. After she asked the paparazzi to just take a few pictures and then leave them alone she began talking about her mothers Negative Energy….
I swear, the Octolune really gets to me talking about others negative energies. I fully expect her to start chanting at any minute! I wonder if she is a Scientologist?
She continued by talking about how she can not focus because there is so much that needs to be done. Well, Octomom, get used to it because it hasn't even started yet!

Village People BEWARE!
VILLAGE PEOPLE BEWARE! If you are a man RUN ! The Octomam has admitted that she has a thing for "A MAN IN UNIFOM"!
While recently talking to a reporter for Radar On-line a "Man in Blue" drove by in a squad car and the wonder womb got visibly distracted!
When she was asked by the reporter if she had a "thing" for cops she orgismed became flustered and actually blushed! Porn Blushing is something I would never think I would see her do! She continues and admitts that she has a little bitty thing NOT HER VAGINA for " MEN IN UNIFORM "!
She did, however, continue to refuse to give any information on the donor….

War of the Wombs!
One of my first pieces that I wrote compared the differences between Octomom and Katzilla. The biggest difference between the two women seemed to be a husband. Not anymore! So the question remains – Why is the public enthralled with Kate Gosselin and detests Nadya Suleman?
I personally don't see any real differences between the two women, both plotted to become a mom of multiples, both couldn't afford the children that they brought to life, and both went seeking for a reality show to support their children. Face it, they both love the attention and spotlight of being a celebrity.
Kate Gosselin spoke up about Octomom to the New York Post and also to Dr. Phil back in February of this year. When asked if she thought Octomom would have a problem being a single mom Kate replied "Absolutely, the workload that Jon and I share is often even too much for us! It is unimaginable the amount of work she will have to bear as a single mother raising eight preemies as well as six other children. And in comparison, I had 3-year-old twins and six preemies . . . And a helpful husband. And we struggled in every way – physically, emotionally and financially."
At the time I was kind of amazed that there was no response from Nadya back to Kate. Maybe now that Nadya is on equal footing with her rival (they both will star in reality shows) she felt compelled to comment. RadarOnline.com has the exclusive interview with Nadya where Nadya says that Kate should keep her opinions to herself, and that her show will be nothing like Jon & Kate Plus 8. After all, Nadya feels that the Gosselin's are exploiting their children, and heaven forbid, she would never do that. "I just want it to be very not Jon & Kate Plus 8," Suleman tells RadarOnline.com. "Where I feel they made a mistake being very–allowing it to be very exploitative and invasive in the kids lives."
Suleman also disses the family for conditioning their kids to living with cameras in the house-something she swears she won't do to her brood. "I want my show to be more documentary style, monitoring their growth and development," Suleman says. "I want it to be more intellectual and educational, not so superficial." And then the claws come out…"She needs to stop being so judgmental and stop pulling at straws for attention," Suleman told RadarOnline.com. "My children are extremely healthy, strong and happy. Don't you have, like, a lot of issues in your life? A lot of marital problems?" she asked Gosselin in the RadarOnline.com video. "Why are you so desperate to glob on to my life? For attention?"
I can see a new reality series now…The War of the Wombs! Starring single mothers Kate Gosselin and Nadya Suleman

It has been confirmed, OCTOMOM GETS HER OWN REALITY TV SHOW!
My eyes are burning and the world is going to hell!
It has been confirmed. Nadya Suleman " The Octomom " and her family of 14 have officially been given their own license to exploit children reality series. The Octomom's attorney Jeff Czech confirmed this to Us Weekly. Here's what he had to say about the reality TV series.
"[Nadya and the producers] are hoping to have an arrangement whereby several events in the children's lives would be filmed in a documentary series. One of the events in the children's lives might be their first birthday."
"There might be several shows aired during a year. There are all kinds of possibilities. It really depends on what the TV network wants.
Octopussy vs Katezilla
I've been reading what the general public has been saying about these two women, and I am still unsure that these two Baby Makers are really that different. Both have stated that they "just wanted one more baby", but each put themselves into the position where multiples were the likely outcome. So why, just why, does the public view Kate Gosslein as a devoted mother and Nadya Suleman as a wacko nut job?
Is it because Kate has a husband? Or maybe because she previously only had two children while Nadya had six? I don't know….but let's take a closer look. As far as I can see:
Both already had children but yearned for "just one more",
Both were in a dire financial mess when they conceived their children
Both have received government assistance in one shape or the other
Both believe that life begins at conception (whether it's in a petri dish or in a uterus)
Both refused to abort any of the multiple fetuses, stating it was against their beliefs (Nadya wouldn't destroy any fertilized eggs)
Both spend time on their appearances, going to spas, shopping for makeup, ……..etc….etc………
Both of these women appear to thrive in the spotlight that fame provides
Here's just a few of the differences that I can see:
Kate claims to have a strong Christian belief, where Nadya has remained quiet on her religious beliefs
Kate doesn't have the backing of her family and friends, where Nadya's family might not approve of her choices, but stands behind their daughter
Nadya appears to spend more time with her children than Kate who is jet setting across the country
So what's the problem? Why is the general public so against Octopussy while Katezilla has the blessings of many?
UPDATE: 5/24/09 I am finally seeing compairisons between these two hit the web. It seemed that as long as Kate had her husband by her side, the public was willing to overlook all of the other generalities between her and Octomom!! I just googled Octomom and guess what? there are no new stories floating around, expect for one that is trying to make headlines about her dropping her kids off at school late!
Octomom gets a Tatoo!
This morning as I was pouring over all of today's gossip I stumbled over the Octomom getting a tattoo! Its not her first one either. This makes number 8! This one is of an Angel wrapped in a flowing banner and will contain the names of all of her children. When will the insanity end? I don't have any tattoos but from what I understand getting one can be a little painful. Not to mention having the names of 14 kids injected into your skin!
I see this as another slap in the face for the taxpayers who are having to bear the burden of paying her bills due to her irresponsible behavior. Tattoos are fairly expensive, or so I am told. So why isn't she using the money that she is paying for the tatoo to help pay her hospital bill? Since giving birth she has taken a lavish vacation and bought a new home. I once took up for her. I thought that she saw her unfertalized eggs as her children since life is supposed to begin at conception. Not any more! I do believe that she had this whole feasco planned from the beginning.

VAT News
ECJ opinion on e-book reduced rating
Following previous decisions where both France and Luxembourg were told it was not lawful to apply reduced VAT rates to the supply of e-books, the ECJ has reaffirmed this position following a question from the Polish authorities.
The ECJ stated that "It would effectively compromise the overall coherence of the measure intended by the EU legislature, which consists in the exclusion of all electronic services from the possibility of a reduced rate of VAT being applied," effectively meaning that applying a reduced rate would directly contradict the existing legislation.
Despite this opinion, the ECJ has recently released a proposal with the aim of making e-books subject to the same rates as physical books.

Special acknowledgements Maurice Sendak, estate of M C Escher. Screenplay Terry Jones. Novelizations Labyrinth: A Storybook * (1986; vt Labyrinth: A Children's Storybook 1986 UK) by Louise Gikow and Labyrinth: The Novel * (1986) by A C H Smith. Starring David Bowie (Jareth, King of the Goblins), Jennifer Connelly (Sarah). 101 mins. Colour.
Fantasy-obsessed teenager Sarah, left by her Stepmother in charge of baby half-brother Toby, inadvertently uses the correct Magic Words to call on the King of the Goblins to take the child away forever. She changes her mind, and the King, Jareth, appears to her, offering her in place of Toby a crystal ball which will bring her all she dreams. As she is obdurate, he instead offers a Contract: she may have Toby if within the next Thirteen hours she can reach him through the Labyrinth that lies between here and the castle where he is held – otherwise Toby will become a goblin. In this Quest she eventually succeeds, though not before encountering Fairies that appear cute but are spiteful and biting, the untrustworthy Dwarf Hoggle, the friendly Monster Ludo and much else besides. In the end all that saves her and Toby from Jareth's duplicities is her ritual incantation of the words "You have no power over me", which enables her to perceive (> Perception) that he and his kingdom have been only Illusion.

Several dull songs are rendered as if rock videos; the effect of the visually and conceptually highly impressive Last Battle of wits, conducted in an Escheresque stairwell, is thereby destroyed. A further worm at L's core is Bowie's flat performance as Jareth; as Connelly's Sarah is a confident, positive evocation of virtue, the contest between Good and Evil becomes one-sided. In L the Devil does not have all the best songs; and, given many of the best lines, proves incapable of delivering them. [JG]

HVAC & Refrigeration Engineering Ltd (HVAC&R), part of Nucore Group, has recently expanded its Services Division with two new roles within its refrigeration and compliance division, ahead of new climate change regulations that take effect from 1st January 2020. Guidance and compliance advisory service is a core service provided to the oil and gas sector and the newly expanded team offers a breadth of experience to better support customers with changes to regulations.
Ian Fitzgerald Refrigeration Team Leader and Rob Mackay IEng, Compliance Team Leader, recently joined HVAC&R, bringing to the company over 15-years' experience in HVAC and refrigeration industry and enhancing the services that HVAC&R offers.
With the growing volume and complexity of regulations, customers rely on HVAC&R to ensure systems are compliant with the latest regulations. Recently, this has included refrigerants with a global warming potential (GWP) greater than 2500.
Refrigerants, higher than GWP 2500, being used to service or refill refrigeration or freezer systems with a charge size of 40 tonnes CO2 equivalent or more are to be banned from 1st January 2020 in the UK and EU. HVAC&R has been busy during the year preparing and supporting its customers to ensure that they're ready when the new regulations come into force.
The HVAC&R team has been reviewing and assessing existing refrigeration equipment on vessels, platforms and onshore facilities, providing guidance and recommendations on climate-friendly alternatives in place of refrigerants that are greater than GWP 2500.
Refrigerants play a critical role within the oil and gas sector. Companies are switching to alternatives, for example, using recycled HFC refrigerants that have been recycled – both are exempt from the servicing ban of the F-gas regulation until 2030 if the HFC refrigerant has been reclaimed from such system. Another alternative would be switching to lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants which are not covered by the 2020 service ban, which may involve replacing or retrofitting existing systems.
HVAC & Refrigeration Engineering Ltd is an international provider of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and refrigeration solutions to the oil and gas, marine and petrochemical industries. With over 50 years' experience, our engineers and technicians ensure HVAC and refrigeration systems operate correctly, efficiently and meet ever-changing industry legislation.

This was made clear in a joint statement by Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the US.
During President Barack Obama's visit to Stockholm, the president and the five Nordic prime ministers took the opportunity to reaffirm their support to the EITI.
This was made clear in a joint statement by Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and the US, following meetings in Stockholm, Sweden 4 September 2013.
In the statement, all signatory countries reaffirmed their support to the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (EITI) to promote transparency and accountability.
"In support of the EITI we agree to promote transparency and accountability of expenditures and revenues related to the extraction of natural resources, including through support to the multi-donor trust fund for EITI or the EITI Secretariat."
Head of the EITI Secretariat, Jonas Moberg, welcomed the statement.
"The support from President Obama and his Nordic counterparts adds to the momentum that is building behind the EITI and all efforts to improve natural resource governance."
The EU member states Denmark, Finland and Sweden also stated they intend to quickly apply the EU Accounting and Transparency Directive, which requires mandatory disclosure of payments made to governments for natural resources. Norway has also announced that they will apply these disclosure rules, and in addition require extended country-by-country reporting.

A Sincere Heart
Hebrews 10:22
…let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
A lot of what God has been showing me during our prayer/fast has been about the heart. There has been nothing new from God – simply a reaffirming word that our hearts need to be pure and set on Jesus. All too often – I feel – we speak one thing with our words and walk something different with our hearts and actions – even in the church. We do not always represent Jesus well – now do we?
There are hurting people in this world folks. A woman came to the office Wednesday afternoon. She had a sad story and I sat and listened. She had previously been removed from the women's shelter for her behavior. Even when trying to help – there are limits to what we – the untrained – can do. She is definitely a hurting person and I tried to sympathize with her plight and condition. It wasn't easy for me – a pastor – with what I knew about her – to completely be in the moment!
I found myself battling my heart during the conversation. I knew of the previous removal from the shelter and I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and listen intently. Her story made little sense to me – yet I tried to stay in the moment and listen. It wasn't easy. Continue reading
God Looks at the Heart
1 Samuel 16:7c
Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
How's your prayer/fast going? I've gotten some private messages – but would love to see some comments in the comment section. What is God revealing to you?
Today's passage is found in the midst of God's rejection of Saul as King. He was the people's favorite because of his stature and his skill in battle. But as Samuel and God discuss this subject – Samuel saw another that seemed to fit his view of what a king should look like in Eliab – an older brother of David. David – of course – at his tender age – didn't look anything like a king – but God knew his heart. In the midst of this we read these verses: 1 Samuel 16:6-7 – 6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, "Surely the Lord's anointed stands here before the Lord." 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." Continue reading
21-Day Prayer/Fast – Day 9
Romans 12:1-2
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is your spiritual act of worship. 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Day 9 is upon us dear readers – the time is flying by. During our prayer/fast we have written and discussed presenting ourselves to God and making ourselves a sacrifice for Jesus. We have asked questions – like what are we willing to do to please God? What are we willing to sacrifice for God?
Today's passage in the 21-Day Fast devotional reading plan can be found here. The reading is the 12th chapter of Romans – which starts with the two verses above. These are two of my favorite verses in the Bible (the list is long but these are on it). They speak about offering God ourselves – our bodies – and even our souls! All that we have and all that we are – for sure. Are we willing to give God our all?
Share some of your thoughts in the comments section – bless others with your questions or responses and see what God will do with us. Seek His face and desire His grace and offer your all to Jesus!
November Fast – Week Three
Matthew 4:1-2
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
OK – this fasting stuff is starting to get on my nerves. Not the spending more time with Jesus part (loving that part) – but the fasting from stuff part. The first week I fasted from snacks and candies. As the week progressed I slipped once with some potato chips at a church luncheon (put them on my plate without even thinking about it – ugh). The second week I added fast foods to my list while trying to continue with the snacks and candies fast. At another church dinner (do you see a pattern here) I had a dessert and someone said something to me. I mean – desserts are not snacks or candies right – but they thought I said I was fasting from sweets (which I did not say). When you broadcast your fast there are eyes everywhere!!

Mind and Body; Abstract and Reality4 min read
This is a collection of short stories. Mind and Body by Lucas Carpenter is a book I received from the Library Thing Early Reviewer Program in return for a review. The first three stories possess their own appeal; there is not much of a link to what follows. But starting with PERIMETER look for the linking devices of Stafford College and a character name Rutledge. It will be fun.
A story set in a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp just prior to WWII as the camps were being closed down. With preparations for war and thus full employment, the program was not needed. This camp was located in Georgia. The main theme of the story is the power of music to bring Blacks and Whites together inside the camp in the face of an exterior environment which vigorously enforced separation of races. A look at two specific individual outcomes in this story reveals a very sad outcome for music.
A story of a WWII survivor. "My mother" never appears in the story by name. Her history was one of survival from a Soviet regime so terrible that she welcomed the Nazi forces as liberators. They were a step up, as were the American forces who took over her captivity later. After marrying a US soldier, she moved to the US and lived the life of a wife to a civil servant. She raised her children and in her old age paid for them to Accompany her on a return trip to the Ukraine to look for surviving relatives. From this visit, she could conclude that, yes, you can go home again, but why would you want to? This is a horrifying depiction of what a survivor must do to live.
A nostalgic look at the evolution of liquor laws in Charleston, South Carolina. From the late 1800s to the present, changes in laws relating to the availability of alcohol followed changes in society. This is a very interesting look on the effects alcohol had on societal change and vice versa.
Vietnam War Vet Bullshit story alert. This is a great story. I have never seen the life for those at Long Binh and Bien Hoa, Vietnam expressed so accurately. The life of a REMF exposed. So much for personal notes as to why the story is good. For Rutledge, he knew that his experience in war did not really count. He had never participated in any event that tested his bravery. Without this last, final experience on guard duty, he would never really know the experience of having been to war.
To appreciate this story, the reader should know the term "performance art." The Poet is caught in a dead-end job and a dead-end marriage. After winning a chance to join an artist colony for a month where he might sit, reflect, and write, the poet takes up residence at the colony and begins to evaluate other artists in residence. Maybe there will be poetic prompts. Then he meets Shari Spector. Is she an artist? She claims to be. But the owner and manager of the art colony gives the Poet information to the contrary. The Poet feels betrayed. Shari maintains that she is an artist of reinvention. Readers are left to form their own opinion.
This is about a poet's rebirth. It could almost be thought of as a poet overcoming writer's block, but Esther didn't really have writer's block. She just didn't know if she had anything to say until she went to a party and met Melody. Her new-found realizations, developed while under the influence of alcohol and drugs, would probably have to be defended on Monday morning when she returned to work. But she could do that.
As an expatriate, I like to travel alone. I absorb experiences and I don't feel a responsibility to share or explain new experiences with others. This is a story, and a warning, to and for people like me. Jason is out there, Jason the predator. Trust to third parties should not be conferred lightly.
This is an unconventional tale of the struggle for job security in academia. Or it might be a conventional tale. We again meet Rutledge, of Vietnam War fame, as he more or less defends himself of charges of sexual harassment, the kind of stuff that may or may not occur between professor and student.

By Teachers, For Teachers
Undoubtedly, you remember the teaching strategies your instructors used for vocabulary: You would copy down definitions into our notebooks, and then for homework, rewrite each word for what seemed like a million times.
We can probably all agree that passive learning is not an effective teaching strategy to instruct vocabulary. Studies are now showing that students need multiple exposures to a word before they can fully understand it. They also need to learn new words in context, by reading. Teachers can emphasize active processing by having students connect new meanings to words they already have knowledge of. The more exposures students have to a word, the better chance that they will remember it.
Here are 5 teaching strategies for instructing vocabulary words to elementary students.
The most valuable thing that you can do to increase your student's vocabulary is to encourage them to read. Research shows that wide reading is the main pathway for word acquisition. This activity enables students to see words in different contexts, therefore deepening their knowledge. It requires students to find new words as they encounter them in their daily reading. Here's how word detective works:
A semantic map is a graphic organizer that helps students visually organize the relationship between pieces of information. Researchers have identified this strategy as a great way to increase students' grasp of vocabulary words. Sematic mapping can be used as a prereading activity to active prior knowledge, or to introduce key words. As a post-reading activity, it can be used to enhance understanding by adding new concepts to the map. Here's how it works:
Cooperative learning is an effective way for students to learn and process information. The jigsaw learning technique is a quick and effective way for students to work with their peers while learning key vocabulary words. For this activity each student is responsible for learning three new words and teaching those words to their group. Here's how it works:
A concept cube is a great strategy to employ word parts. Students receive a six-square cube (which will eventually be folded into a three-dimensional cube). On each of the squares students are instructed to write down one of the following:
A Venn diagram is a great way for students to compare similarities and differences within words. It also provides students with new exposures to words, which helps them solidify what they have learned. For this activity, students are directed to connect two words that are written in the center of a Venn diagram. Their task is to connect the two words by writing down each words definition on the Venn diagram, then explaining the reason for the connection.
Students then cut, fold and tape the cube to make a square. Then, with a partner, they roll their cube and must tell the relationship of the word that lands on top to the original vocabulary word.
Implementing a variety of approaches will help prevent boredom. Experiment with different strategies and techniques to determine which ones work the best for your students.

We built the internet's first always-up-to-date list of legal services for incarcerated people. Can you make a similar list for a different kind of resource?
Problem: There are too many outdated resource lists floating around.
Our Solution: Have one resource list that one organization checks each year.
Our Method: Inspired by the Cincinnati Books for Prisoners group, we made a list of every legal services organization on every resource list we could find. Then we send a letter by snail mail to each organization each year asking them to confirm/update their listing. If they respond, we include them on the site for the next 365 days. All the organization needs to do is to sign the form we send them and mail it back in the enclosed envelope. If they don't respond, we keep them on our mailing list and try again next year.
This way, any incarcerated person using the list can be assured that the organization they are writing to recently did exist and was responding to mail. And if an organization fails to respond for some reason (staff turnover, postal problems, the dog ate our letter, etc.) they get another chance next year.
It's a win for everyone. We've built a database for legal services. What list can your organization edit?

According to a new poll released from Gallup, nearly 1 out of 2 Americans believe the government has become so big that it is an "immediate threat" to freedom. This feeling has increased by 19 percent, to 49 percent of Americans, in the last eight years, indicating that both Republicans and Democrats have attributed to this sentiment.
Read the full results here.
And, outside of civil liberties, the survey says, "Americans believe, on average, that the federal government wastes 51 cents of every tax dollar."
Talk about a lack of faith in government. Oh, wait...they have that statistic, too. "57% have little or no confidence in the federal government to solve domestic problems, exceeding the previous high of 53% recorded in 2010 and well exceeding the 43% who have little or no confidence in the government to solve international problems," says Gallup.
When neither Democrats, nor Republicans, govern by the Constitution, results such as those from Gallup's poll should come as no surprise. As discussed in the free e-pamphlet, "The Law That Governs Government" (which, you can -- and, should -- download here), the Constitution is what restrains government power. When those elected to office ignore the Constitution, it follows that government grows, and grows, and grows.
And, when government is not governed by the law (that law being the Constitution), it grows big enough to arrogantly trample on the rights of citizens (warrantless wire-tapping, TSA searches at airports, and frequent violations to Fourth Amendment rights, just to name a few examples). It also gives birth to unconstitutional zombie bureaucracies that are next to impossible to kill.
Remember Fannie Mae, one of the lending institutions at the center of the economic collapse? It was founded in 1938 during the Great Depression as a part of the New Deal, and it has been supported by the federal government ever since. And, even after its abominable role in sub-prime mortgage crisis, Republicans and Democrats did nothing to dump Fannie Mae from the taxpayer's financial responsibility.
Governing by the Constitution means governing responsibly, and when the Constitution is ignored, it is impossible to do that. Thus, 49 percent of Americans believe government is an enemy of freedom, 57 percent have no faith in its ability to solve problems, and 81 percent are dissatisfied with the way the country is being led.
So, what do we do?
Make current candidates for office responsible for more than broad generalizations when they're campaigning. There is an article on ConservativeHQ.com that argues how the media script for debates is killing the discussion that needs to happen in order to get America back on track.
Further than that is the typical formula for getting elected. Politicians have learned they can speak in smooth, deliberate generalizations, and still get elected. Concrete policy statements have become toxic because they make you beholden to…well, one's own words.
That is why it is so rare hearing politicians make definitive statements. For proof, look at the last GOP presidential debate in Orlando. Some of the only real, specific statements made by candidates about their plans for office came from Herman Cain, touting his "9-9-9" plan, and former two-term New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, who said he would slash the budget by 43 percent -- namely by eliminating the Department of Education (whoa, when's the last time you've heard a Republican say that?).
It's time we start holding candidates for office responsible for more than just rhetoric, especially during the primaries. We should demand to know where they stand, what plans they have, and most importantly, how the Constitution will play a role in their plans for governing.
And, if current candidates for office can't answer these questions, it's time to replace them (actually, let's just go ahead and replace them).
But, the first step is educating yourself. The only reason just 49 percent of Americans believe government is an enemy to freedom is because the other 51 percent probably has no idea what freedom is supposed to be. A good start to furthering your constitutional education is downloading a copy of "The Law That Governs Government." As you'll find, the Constitution is the basis of every political problem -- and, solution. Therefore, it pays (literally, by reducing the tax burden on citizens) to know more about it.
Nobody ever could get rid of weeds by only trimming their leaves. Solution? Pull them out with their roots and throw them away.
This government is not a threat to our freedom. Instead of protecting our freedom like it's supposed to, it has removed our fgreedom. It's not a threat.

Emeka Inyama
Nigerian Premier League hopefuls, Abia Warriors football club of Umuahia said one of their dependable players, Erhun Obanor has disappeared without any official permission from the club.
The Chairman of the club, Chief Emeka Inyama, who revealed this in Umuahia, said the former Bendel Insurance of Benin defender has not been seen in Umuahia since the players resumed camping after the Christmas and New Year break while he had refused to pick his calls.
He said such an attitude was unbecoming of a player who is still under a valid contract.
The chairman reminded clubs that may possibly be fraternizing with the former Nigeria U-23 captain of the consequences of their action, insisting that the left-footed player is not for sale.
"Even if he wants to leave, the proper procedure for the transfer of players in the international market must be followed," Inyama was quoted in a statement by the club's Media Officer, Igwe Onuoha early on Monday.
The chairman restated Abia Warriors' willingness to go for the league title this season, pointing out that his management will not
allow any member of staff, player or technical crew to derail this ambition. …Read More

The inside of Alejandro Sarete's backpack is jammed with the objects of a busy student life: smartphone, USB thumb drive, playing cards, lip balm. Cho Young-Uk's shoulder bag is more minimalist in content: Lenovo laptop and adapter.
Mr. Sarete and Mr. Cho, both students at New York University, have something missing from their stashes: piles of textbooks.
"I don't really have to carry around textbooks anymore, like I used to in high school," said Mr. Cho, a sophomore. All but two of his classes — Spanish history and financial accounting — had moved the coursework online.
"I think fewer people have them, for sure," Mr. Sarete said. "I actually still like physical paper, but I'm an exception."
As students increasingly go back to school with gadgets instead of textbooks, and no longer need huge backpacks to haul them around, backpack makers in the $2.7 billion industry are rethinking not only the perennial style of back-to-school packs but also the mission of the ubiquitous carrying gear that for decades has been an annual must-buy for students of all ages.
For clues, Eric Rothenhaus and his team at VF Corporation, the apparel giant that owns a leading maker of backpacks, JanSport, sought the advice of some extreme backpack users. They studied mountaineers whose lives can depend on their gear. They talked to the homeless in San Francisco, who live out of shopping carts.
And they visited campuses to observe the habits and habitats of college students, who buy many of the eight million backpacks JanSport sells each year. "We realized we needed to forget everything we knew about the category," said Mr. Rothenhaus, director of research and design at JanSport.
"We went out to the streets of New York, to San Francisco, to college campuses, and we started to ask: What are the things we carry with us? How do we carry them? And how is that changing?"
Americans bought more backpacks than ever last year— 174 million of them, according to the Travel Goods Association. The bulk of these were purchased during back-to-school shopping season, typically the second-largest sales season for retailers and an important bellwether for year-end holiday sales.
But there is ample hand-wringing within the industry that it is not keeping up with the times. After growing at a fast clip over the last decade, as offices grew more casual and men increasingly switched from briefcases to backpacks, the market for backpack sales in the United States is expected to grow just 3.9 percent this year, according to data from Euromonitor International. That is down from 9 percent five years ago.
"The market for backpacks is becoming saturated and is nearing its peak," Ayako Homma, a Euromonitor research analyst, wrote in an email. Consumers, she said, are "looking for something new and different."
Those concerns add to pessimism over the entire late-summer shopping season. Consumers will spend about 6 percent less on back-to-school purchases compared with a year ago, the National Retail Federation predicts, in part because there are few new "must have" electronics so far this year.
In backpacks, too, experts say there is a dearth of hits. They say innovation has stalled in a market dominated by VF, which also owns the Eastpak, Timberland and North Face brands and controls 55 percent of backpack sales in the United States. Many packs on students' backs as they go back to school this week are largely indistinguishable from those their parents carried.
"I think there's room in the market for something new," said Lindsey Shirley, a clothing and textiles expert at Utah State University who is developing a new degree in outdoor product design to address a perceived shortfall of fresh talent in the field. "There's definitely room for innovation."
Some of that innovation has come from newer start-ups, aimed at specific groups of consumers. There is the $170 Tylt Energi+ with a built-in battery charger and cables that charge up to three devices at a time. There is the $1,450 Black Diamond JetForce Pack, fitted with a fan-driven airbag system to increase the chances of survival in an avalanche.
At the other end of the spectrum are retro-look backpacks from an upstart, Herschel Supply, which pair mountaineering straps with laptop pockets and have been a rare recent hit.
John Sears, vice president for design and development at the backpack maker Gregory Mountain Products, said that today's digital lifestyles were an opportunity, not a threat, because people were hauling around so much digital gear. Gregory will soon sell new backpacks with easily removable solar panels, designed for multiday adventures in the back country.
"People want to stay more connected socially, even in the outdoors," he said. "Even if they're in the back country, they're using solar panels, GoPros, GPS."
JanSport, which first started selling backpacks nearly a half-century ago in Seattle, has taken a page out of the start-up playbook, teaming up with Ideo, a design firm and Silicon Valley darling, to reimagine the backpack. The extreme mountaineers they interviewed demonstrated how they kept their most important gear at the top of the bag — lights, food, beacons — all sealed in Ziploc bags and away from damaging moisture.
The team found similar strategies among the homeless on the streets of San Francisco. The top layer of their shopping carts was lined with dispensable knickknacks. But they stored their valuable possessions, like money and food, in backpacks, easily accessible.
What interested Mr. Rothenhaus was that both groups developed meticulous and personalized packing strategies that they honed over time. They also valued the same backpack qualities: that they be water-resistant and have areas that were quickly accessible, yet be simple enough to meet a range of needs and packing methods.
"Packing — everybody has a system and methodology for it," Mr. Rothenhaus said. "Our research steered us away from trying to design pockets and compartments for specific uses.
We didn't want to overengineer. We wanted to give people options."
The team then looked at their findings through the lens of average users like college students, for whom smartphones, not beacons, are survival tools. Many of their needs were similar. Water-resistance, it turned out, was as important to heavy users of smartphones as it was to mountaineers.
They also wanted flexibility, but they needed a little help with organization, Mr. Rothenhaus's team realized, as they watched students pull chargers and cords from their bags in a jumbled mess. ("I have a very cluttered mind," Mr. Sarete, the N.Y.U. student, explained.)
JanSport created an easily accessible "V-loft" pocket that sits on top of the bag, big enough for a phone, small tablet and other valuables.
The brand's rethinking inspired a new line of wrap-style pouches — which JanSport calls Digital Burritos — that help users gather up the cords and adapters. Designers waterproofed compartments to let users throw a burrito or soda or gym shoes into their backpacks, without worrying about their tablets or laptops.
And JanSport homed in on some promising signs. Though students might not be carrying textbooks, their lives were lived increasingly on the go, their mobility helped by smartphones and Wi-Fi. JanSport will focus on tailoring its bags to lifestyles lived shuttling among what the team calls "third spaces" — the cafe tables or park benches that become impromptu work spaces — and studying how backpacks might fit in.
"We used to get up in the morning and go somewhere, go from A to B, then back to A. But now our spaces are little circles," Mr. Rothenhaus said. "We might be outside in a park, working. We might be eating at food trucks."
"When you need to be on the go," he said, "you need a backpack."

This is my first post and I am excited! I thought of blogging once before, set up a blog at Wordpress.com and then gave up without a single post on it. Why did I give up? I think I tried to customize the theme and found that small customizations required me to shell out money, not a little but a lot; and I did not feel like spending that kind of money on a blog whose future was uncertain. (Possibly I was misinformed, so do not consider this as a definitive statement about the features of Wordpress.com). So, the blog did not go anywhere. This time around, I have decided I will worry about customizing the theme (at least beyond what is free) later. I want to get in some posts first.
What do I plan to post here?
I am constantly looking for better tools to accomplish my tasks. In my case these mostly happen to be software tools. In fact, sometimes the search for these tools and the time spent learning them delays the completion of the tasks. But I enjoy learning new things, so that is okay and in the long-run I think I come out ahead.
This blog is a place for me to write notes on the interesting things that I have learnt. Why a blog? Why don't I use a word processing software on my desktop. There are a few reasons. One, I like how I can make notes on unrelated things in the same place and neatly categorize them using tags. It appears that searching the notes will be easier here when I need them later. Two, they will be in cloud and I can access them from anywhere. Three, in learning about new things, I have benefited tremendously from other people's blogs. I hope that I can be similarly helpful. Here I will collect knowledge that I feel like sharing. Hence, the name Knowledge Stockpile.

Paul writes songs the way your grandmother might have crafted quilts. Painstakingly sewing the pieces together to form a blanket that will keep you warm when it's time to rest your head.
Paul entertains and provokes. He holds your hand and he slaps your wrist. He's lived a thousand lives, but he wakes up everyday with the wide eyes of a new born babe.
Paul has a skewed vision of the world that comes only with an existence based in a city rampant with celebration and despair. It's beyond colloquialisms and language. It's more of a slant and feel. It's in "the words he loves and the friends he writes." It's in the pain of having known a welfare Christmas and the joy of having known a welfare Christmas and the joy of having toasted fine wine from a grand European chateau. Cut him, it's in his blood.

Playing casino slots can be a fun and sometimes addictive hobby.
These machines can bombard your senses with lights, sounds, or vibrations, all of which are designed to entice you to play either in a casino or online.
Because of their ability to draw attention, slot machines tend to be the most popular type of game at a casino.
Anxious to join in on the fun?
Join any "slot clubs" or "player perks" your casino offers.
These programs will reward you based on how much you play and can give you the opportunity to cash in for additional benefits.
Compare the incentives of different casinos or sites, and choose the casino based on the benefits or freebies that are the best for you.
During casinos' off-seasons, it's common for them to try to lure you in with free play, free food, or a free hotel stay or all three.
So if you're going to spend your money anyway, you might as well sign up.
Always check the player desk daily to learn about daily promotions and special offers; many of them are not advertised online.
Generally, casinos are layed out with the action in the middle and the services around the perimeter.
Notice where the rest rooms and emergency exits are located.
Look at the floor and you will see the ugliest carpeting you have ever seen; that is there on purpose to keep you looking up, not down.
But the floor will also show you where the main walkways are, should you become lost.
Also notice the overhead signs that indicate different areas and how to get back to where you were.
Know what you're looking at.
Though there are different types of machines all of varying, payouts, popularity, and method, how they work is generally all the same.
Often if not alwaysthe previous payout ticket will go in the same slot the cash can be inserted.
These areas will be lit up and unmissable.
Press the HELP or SERVICE button to summon an attendant.
If you're looking for a coin tray, you may be looking for a while.
Some casinos have reverted back to coin usage in the high limit areas, as it takes less time to play coins that it does to insert paper.
It'll tell you what type of game it is, what each spin pays out, and details on the jackpot.
If it's there, read it before you sit down.
Some machines will be blatantly better than others.
Machines tend to be grouped by denomination, style and brand name.
Video slots have a HELP or INFO button that will walk you through the various payouts, play lines, bonus games and special features.
The candle contains a color indicating its denomination, and also serves to notify the slot attendant if service is needed.
The candle flashes in specific patterns for service needed, entry made into the machine, jackpot, door not secure, and other functions.
This is how you'll finally be freed from your semi-conscious state and released into the world of windows, clocks, and not-for-free soda.
Press it and it'll tabulate your winnings and issue a ticket, which you can then take to the cashier or to the payout redemption machine -- if you win, of course.
Keep in mind that tickets are bearer instruments; whoever holds it can redeem it.
So guard it as you would cash.
If you find one on the floor or other location, do NOT attempt to redeem it; turn it in to Security or other official.
All tickets are numbered and time-stamped, and attempting to cash out one that isnt yours can get you in trouble, up to and including being ejected and barred from the location!
Decide the amount that you're comfortable betting each pull.
With slot machines, you can bet a surprisingly high amount of money in no time.
In fact, they can move faster than some table games.
Find an amount that doesn't make your stomach churn?
So if you're not looking to dip into your grandmother's inheritance, the penny, nickel, or quarter slots may be more to your liking.
And you'll get more playing time out of your dollar in the long run!
You'll see giant lit-up signs displaying "5¢" or "25¢" or "1¢.
Don't buy into casino mapping.
Sure, casinos employ a certain level of strategy curve blackberry games top 9300 for placing their slots, machine games to play each one varies and it's not something so simple as to be understood with a quick glance or paragraph.
What's more, with technology nowadays, they can change learn more here machine's payout at the click of the button.
So before you go asking that cute hostess where you should play, think again.
Realistically speaking, a slot machine is a like a pair of dice.
You may feel like after you roll four sixes in a row you're probably not going to get another six, but in all likelihood, the six is just as likely to come up again as every other number.
With each roll, the dice starts back over.
And the slot machine is the same.
It's only over the course of an absolutely Titanic-sized number of turns that the casinos are getting their payout numbers.
Unless you plan on making a career out of risking your money, there's no point in letting it factor into your decisions.
Master the multiplier machine.
This is the type where if you play a coin, you get a certain amount of money.
If you play two coins, you get a much bigger amount of money.
And if you play just click for source coins, well, you'd be practically robbing the bank if you won.
This kind is fairly straightforward in that if you bet a small amount, you'll win a small amount; bet a large amount, you'll win a large amount -- but it doesn't effect the number of times you win.
If one coin gets you 2000 on the jackpot, and 2 coins gets you 5000, but three coins gets you 45000, you may want to walk away.
Imagine what would happen if you bet one coin and hit it big!
You'd be sulking all the way to the buffet.
Bet a bunch on buy-a-pays.
Not only is that alliteration, but it's true.
If you're on a buy-a-pay, always bet the max.
One coin may buy you the center line, two coins will buy you a diagonal, and three coins gets you the whole 9 yards.
This also works with symbols.
Again, imagine yourself betting one coin and seeing 7-7-7 come up in a diagonal!
If you do choose this machine, it's best to go big or go home.
You're literally buying what will pay you.
And no, if the machine hits but you didn't pay for it, the machine still counts that as a payout -- it won't make up for it in its 93% payback or whatever it may be.
Notice, for example, that a Double Diamond slot has the same symbols shown for one coin or two coin play.
All symbols are active regardless of coins played.
But look at Bally's Flaming 7s machine, and you will see the bars listed for one coin and the 7s listed for two coins.
For the sevens to be active, you must play both coins per play.
If the 7s come up with only 1 coin in, you do not win.
As we have mentioned before, learn so you can earn!
Plug into the progressive slots.
If you see a whole bunch of people at a row of machines with a giant display board above them that's turning into quite the spectacle, that's a community progressive game.
These types of slots have a jackpot total that grows each time the machines are played.
All their machines are linked up to each other's and the first person to hit the jackpot gets a percentage of all the play, not just their own.
If you don't bet the max, you won't be winning the jackpot.
You can get smaller cash prizes, but the jackpot won't have your name on it.
So if you do spend your time at this machine -- which, in its defense, can have ridiculously large jackpots -- be ready to turn out your pockets.
Venture into the video games.
These are otherwise referred to as "multi-line" games and they work similarly to buy-a-pays.
You get to choose how many lines you'd like to buy and how many credits you'd like to spend on each line.
At a penny slot, you could spend 1¢ on the center line and take a spin.
It probably won't pay you anything, but you could do it.
Some machines have up to 500 lines that you can bet on, and you can usually bet somewhere between a penny and a dollar per line depending.
For greater payback percentage, increased ratings as a player and more personalized attention, you may wish to move over to the high-limit machines.
That way, not a turn will go by where you see a winner but don't get it reflected in your winnings because you didn't bet the line.
The machine doesn't care which lines you're betting and won't adjust its payout rates accordingly, so bet 'em all to catch 'em all.
That's because machine games to play offer bonus rounds, scatter pays and special events fairly regularly.
In addition to the fun and varied animation, it gives you the sense that you're actually playing a game and may have a chance at winning.
If you'd like to take a stab at this world, wikiHow hastoo.
Even if you think you're not winning, you might be and when you think you're winning, you may not be.
Just take in the pretty pictures and try to keep your head above water.
And then saddle up for a bonus round and put those free spins to work.
Settle on a game.
Now that you know machine games to play different variations of play, the casino is your oyster.
Find a machine that's open and settle down for what will hopefully be a long spell.
Insert your player's card even if you're not using it to access cash -- you'll get points this way and then either insert cash or a previous payout ticket.
Then it's all shiny lights and buzzes from there!
If you get confused or the machine doesn't seem to be working, call an attendant there's a button on the dash that will do this for you -- the machine will light up, notifying them to help you.
This will print you a receipt that you can then take to a Casino ATM machine games to play to the cashier's box.
Once obtained, remove your player's card and hit the patterned carpeting.
What time is it, anyway?
Though casinos are hot spots for hedonism, that doesn't mean they're not subject to maintaining a certain amount of class.
You'll just end up in the middle of a confrontation when the person gets back from the bathroom.
And if the casino is even remotely crowded, only play the one.
Don't ruin someone else's good time with your insatiable appetite for handle-pulling.
Each computer is going through thousands of combinations every minute and the likelihood that you would've pressed the button at that exact one-hundredth of a second are incredibly minute.
Worse than the odds of you walking away with a padded wallet!
Alright, it's time for the disclaimer: You must know your limits and you must stop playing when you reach them.
Before you begin gambling, determine a dollar amount you can afford to lose as well as an amount you will walk away with should you win.
Both are equally important, as they can help you know when to stop gambling.
What can be a fun, relaxing experience can turn into something that'll make you pull your hair out.
Walk into the casino with only the money you will be playing with.
Leave credit or debit cards and access to additional funds at home or in your hotel room safe, where you won't be tempted to overspend.
Tell yourself you'll only spend a certain amount every half hour.
If you're up at the end of that 30 minutes, you get machine games to play bank what you profited and keep going with the original amount!
And if you run out of money, you wait until the next half hour mark rolls around and proceed again.
The night will last much, much longer.
Choose the lowest denomination possible for the slot machine you want to play.
This will allow you to play the slot machine for longer periods of time and can maximize your gaming experience.
If you're going with a budget in mind, buy-a-pays and progressive machines aren't your best bet, literally.
Stick to multi-line games or multiplier machines.
Select slot machines with the highest payback percentages.
This number indicates how frequently the machines pay here, and the higher the percentage the more likely your chances of winning.
These amounts should be clearly displayed https://money-casino-top-free.site/games/fun-guessing-games-for-work.html the machines and will range anywhere from 80% to 98% -- the higher the denomination of the machine 1¢ for examplethe higher the payout.
You may need machine games to play watch other players gamble for a bit to determine which slots are better options.
That is, if you were to spend the greater part of this decade there.
But remember, this is over the long-term.
Machines have the same number of combinations each time you take a turn.
If you win or don't win on one spin, you have the same chances of winning or not winning next time.
Pocket any winnings you earn.
Never play with money you've won, because it goes against your beginning strategy of only playing what you predetermined you would spend while gambling.
And even though instant gratification is a wonderful thing, you'll feel a lot better walking home with money in your pocket than you would if you simply got to spend an extra 20 minutes at the casino.
The next time you go to the casino, take your bankroll out of that.
If there's nothing in the jar after a few times, either cut down what you're spending or cut down on the number of times you go in any given period of time.
Or wait until the casino sends you free play in the mail!
Can the casino change the payout with out going into the machine, like from a control room or something?
They can change it remotely, but Gaming Commission rules prohibit them from doing so while the machine is in for online game racing play pc />The odds are programmed into the machine as it's introduced to the casino floor and may be learn more here at periodic intervals, but not during play.
If for any reason a casino thinks someone is not a "good person," can they shut down a chance of jackpots while you are playing?
Anyone unwelcome in the casino will be asked to leave by management.
Machine odds would not be tampered with on an individual basis.
That's the only way the machine knows it's you and will give you comp points accordingly.
It also notifies the casino that you are on the property and makes you eligible for contests, give-aways and promotions.
There are a number of books or online tutorials available to help you get the most from your gambling experience.
However, know that some if games parties online for facebook most or all are scams.
Casinos do not conduct classes in slot play, so the onus simply machines games free online games nice on you.
Learn continue reading to earn!
If you don't see these, ask a slot attendant at the casino or call the customer service number if you are playing online.
Don't get caught up in the idea of hot or cold machines because it is not fact-based.
Every machine in the casino has a computerized brain that predetermines whether a spin will pay out or not based on the split second, and nothing you do will change that outcome.
The host is a casino employee whose job it is to make you welcome and offer you various compensations, or 'comps', for your patronage and play.
They may make your room, food or other purchases free, and can set you up for free or reduced-price show tickets, room upgrades and meals at the restaurants.
You dont have to be big time player to have or use a host; call the hotel operator and ask for the on-duty host.
The technician will check the machine for defects and that the jackpot was 'righteous'; the attendant will note the activity in the machine's log book; Surveillance will check their film to review your activity and make sure you didn't try to manipulate the machine, and the Supervisor will coordinate everything and give their blessings.
Then they will ask you if you want a check or cash or both.
Security will also be there to escort you out if you are leaving, and to keep the onlookers from harassing you or asking for money.
Pause and enjoy the moment, and try to collect your wits so you can decide what to do next.
If you are planning to continue play, consider taking the win in check form, asking for an envelope and a stamp, putting the check in the envelope, and sending it home to yourself.
This way, no matter what happens the rest of the trip, there will be a love letter waiting when you get home.
This is a dangerous practice, and you may end up spending much more to get a perk that isn't worth it.
Players are rated at multiple steps, from novice to whale, and players' clubs also have multiple levels.
Read about them and learn where you stand; your level can change in a few hours of play.
Representatives are always available to help.
Article Summary To play slot machines, play the multiplier machine by betting a small amount to try and win a small amount or a large amount to try and win a large amount.
Alternately, play the buy-a-pay to bet more money in return for more chances of winning rather than winning a larger amount of money.
You can also play video games and take advantage of bonus rounds and regular special events to try and win.
When you play video games, bet more to cover more winning possibilities, since these games work like buy-a-pay slots.
