The reason for this very interesting idea is, by all accounts, to a great extent driven by the ever expanding versatile nature of gambling, and its legitimization and the development of web-based betting in nations around the world. We are seeing new online casino and betting sites popped up on the Internet almost everyday, such as, Newtown Casino, Maxbet, Scr888, and 918kiss.
This expanding industry is on an inescapable impact course with another quickly developing industry – Virtual Reality (VR). This inevitable fate of betting seems getting closer and closer to VR advancements, numerous organizations have officially thrown in their lot on VR as the new form and platform for gambling and betting games
Build a Virtual Casino
A real casino is something with good sounds, colors, lights, all joining to urge gamblers to attempt their chances of winnings and to be rich. The way things are, a gambling casino site or on a mobile app application simply doesn't do that encounter justice. They'll additionally have the capacity to stroll around the casino, different rooms, communicating with different players, and even sit in front of the TV in the gambling casino bar between games.
Deal in VR Poker Players
Online poker made the game slot to players around the globe. In any case, it additionally stripped away a portion of the feeling and the capacity to peruse a rival's non-verbal communication, implying that notwithstanding when a lot was on the line, it was never as energizing as sitting opposite somebody at a genuine poker table.
Betting organizations will put their clients around a virtual poker table, where they can watch contradicting symbols surrender tells, consequently including the subtlety and ability missing from numerous mobile poker applications and devoted poker sites.
Create a VR Slots App
It's a staple of casino gambling, with the commotions, hues, fancy odds and ends adding to the gaming floor environment. Also, conveying that experience to VR could be enter in pulling in new – and in particular, more youthful – gatherings of people to the universe of web based betting.
What's more, for organizations who are new to betting in VR, virtual slots offer an ideal portal to building up a notoriety for easy to understand, vivid online gambling. These VR slot machines can be marked and utilized as an extra to other betting games, or as an independent cell phone VR application.
Build a VR Blackjack Table
One of the principal things that rings a bell when somebody makes reference to a gambling club is the quintessential blackjack table.
It's anything but difficult to learn, and hard to ace, and with its notoriety for energy, brisk wins, and consistently heightening levels of pressure, it's customized for computer generated reality.
Experienced betting organizations can change their web based wagering stages by including a VR blackjack cell phone application to their program. Completely marked, and with a virtual merchant sitting inverse, these VR blackjack tables will change the client's involvement of web based betting, from something used to sit back to an invigorating high stakes amusement for genuine cash.
Gamble on Virtual Sports
The last betting business thought we hope to take off when VR hits the standard is that of virtual games betting.
Sports betting in VR will change the manner in which clients see virtual games wagering. As opposed to watch slouched over PCs or squinting at cell phones, they'll pull on a VR headset and feel as though they're in that spot in the stadium, giving a shout out to their most loved virtual group, steed and to win.

New oil painting – The Reading Room.
There's a small area at the top of the stairs on the second floor of our house that I use as my library. It's a little bit messy right now with books piling up and hardly enough room to put additional books on my custom built book shelf.
I'm an avid reader and I'm constantly buying books. There are books on the shelf that I bought from an annual book sale several years ago that I've yet to read.
That's not me on the painting by the way. I used a figure from one of my ink sketches at the life drawing workshop. It was a perfect pose and sketch for this painting and I'm glad I got to use it.
The size of this painting is 24″w x 36″h.

Week by week, our early adventures with Joy.
6 Weeks October 23 2014 After much praying we think we had found the new member of our family. Bringing her home we found that Joy was sick when we got her, and in an ideal world she was also too young to be separated from her litter mates. We have learned that the social structure of the puppy litter and their mother teaches the puppies how to be in a pecking order which makes for a properly socialized dog and the last few weeks in the litter the puppy is able to transition from mama's milk to hard food. When we got Joy, she didn't know either, how to be social or how to eat out of a bowl. It took her days to get the hang of eating. We gave her milk and raw egg, she ate some of it. I tried cooked chicken breast with mushy white rice, she didn't eat that. She went at least 4 days eating small amounts, also, she was slow to drink water, she acted like she wasn't familiar with it. We gave her kefir, she actually liked that, at least enough to eat small amounts. It was rough going at first. She had horrible diarrhea. I was on the internet looking up all the different conditions. I read more about dog poop then I EVER cared to know. For instance, hers was yellow and that meant chances are there was a worm infection. We tried several ideas to help solve the problem at home. We used OTC worming medicines, they didn't work. She was a poor little thing.
Additionally, as we were caring for her physical needs, we were told she looked liked she could be a pit bull. That worried me A LOT. I love having kids around and I was strongly concerned that she would be dangerous. During these first couple weeks I had spent HOURS researching different aspects of possible pit bull traits. I looked at probably hundreds of pictures and different web sites trying to get a handle on the possibility of her being a pit.Two things came of it.
1. Many people tried to reassure me that pits are only dangerous when they are raised that way. Not convinced, I was still afraid, I had heard too many stories of how a pit just went berserk and mauled children, it was too much of a risk.
2. Cesar Millan loves his pit bulls. Problem there is that I'm not anywhere near as cool as Cesar Millan so my dog would never have all the great training, hence, that apprehension was still there. One thing Cesar said that made an impact on me was for me to keep in order these perspectives .. first she is an animal, then she is a species, then a breed and then my pet. That was worth thinking about.
3. I was happy when I went to the pit bull breeder in the neighborhood and he said "Yeah, I guess she could have some pit bull in her" HA! I was glad! That meant pit was not her primary breed.
Back and forth I went. Worrying, reading, praying. Over the next few weeks she grew enough for us to see that she could be any number of dogs. We came to the conclusion that she is a MUTT. I was relieved and happy. I could relax.
There was one interesting thought the vet told me though, she said she rarely sees pit bulls with bad attitudes, that they are not biters, instead, she says small dogs are constantly biting. The difference is that when the small dog bites it doesn't do much harm but when the pit bites it does a LOT of harm and that is why it is so publicized. I am so sad to hear the horror stories of people being hurt by dogs that suddenly SNAP! According to my research every single breed of dog has been known to snap and go crazy. That's the animal part Cesar talks about. Dogs can be dangerous and need to be supervised, they are animals.
Be smarter than me, learn about puppy life BEFORE you bring one home. If you are going to get a rescue shelter puppy, likely they will have some pit bull in them somewhere, in fact, like our little pup, they will have a variety of many different breed traits. By adopting a rescue mutt, it's a gamble, no one can tell you what kind of dog you have. They will have to grow up and then you will see. It's kinda like getting a present, you don't know what's in the package until you open it.
Sure are cute though, kinda steal your heart <3

Energy bills are spiralling out of control . Don't you dread opening those utility bills, especially after a cold, long Winter!
The following tips will help you to reduce your energy consumption around your home – saving money for you and helping to protect our environment.
1. Boil the right amount for every cup of tea, rather than filling the kettle.
2. Use your washing machine at cooler settings - a 40C wash uses a third less electricity than a 60C load – and always put in a full load.
3. Have a shower instead of a bath – it uses far less energy.
4. Insulate your hot water cylinder. An insulating jacket only costs a few pounds and could save you around £10 per year.
5. Turning down room thermostats by 1°C could save 10% on your fuel bill!
6. Close curtains at dusk to prevent heat escaping through windows - especially if your home is not double-glazed.
7. Don't let your curtains drape in front of radiators.
8. Only use electrical appliances when you really need them. Don't leave TV's or videos on standby - the appliances are still using electricity.
9. Seal up any drafts in doors and windows using draft excluders.
10.Use low energy light bulbs. They last longer and save you money.

This 5-step guide to managing your money from consumerhelp.ie, the National Consumer Agency, will help you spend less and save more. And let's face it – we could all do with a little more money in our pockets! Here's how to gain control of your finances in five easy steps: 1. Check What You Have Coming In And How This Will Change When Your Baby Is Born If you are in employment, it is a good idea to check how maternity leave will affect your salary. If it will mean a drop in income, it's important to save for this during pregnancy. If you are not currently employed, check how pregnancy and having a baby could impact on any social welfare payment you have been receiving, as you may be entitled to an increased payment. Remember to include any extra earnings or payments like children's allowance to get a full picture of your income. 2. Check What You Are Currently Spending Consider how you are currently spending your money and whether or not you could cut back. It is important to make a list of everyday expenses like taxis, coffees and phone credit as well as ongoing expenses like rent and bills. It's not always easy to keep track of our everyday expenses, but this is where huge savings can be made – using the spending calculator on consumerhelp.ie can help. Your spending will naturally change during pregnancy, while some costs will reduce, commuting and socialising for example, babies can bring unexpected expenses. 3. Make Some Money Goals When you have gotten to grips with what you have coming in and going out, it is a good idea to take some time to prioritise what you are spending your money on and decide on your financial goals. Whether you want to build up an emergency savings fund, take extended maternity leave or even clear off your debts before your baby arrives, decide on what is important to you, and how you will make those aspirations a reality. 4. Make A Budget Now that you have a clear picture of how you are doing financially and what your money goals are, it's time to make a budget. If you are just starting to budget as a family unit, now can be a great time to discuss family finances and to consider whether you should open a joint account with your partner to manage things like rent or mortgage payments and bills. 5. Swap, Switch, Save, Review Use the money saving tips on consumerhelp.ie to get the best value for your money on baby related items. If your pregnancy means you are thinking about changing your car or home and you need insurance for them, you can check for the best deals on financial products here too.

Congressman Paul Gosar thinks President Trump will have a tough time convincing voters he's made progress securing the U.S. border with Mexico.
The representative from Arizona owns land along the border, so his two-cents carry a special significance and perspective.
But as a Republican in a position to take action, his opinion isn't worth a whole lot.
@BrianKolfage collected this unsettling video of illegal aliens and other criminals violating our border openly. The failure to secure the border is going to be the toughest Trump sell in 2020. pic.twitter.com/4DJpZYHDvU
— Paul Gosar (@DrPaulGosar) June 11, 2019
"@BrianKolfage collected this unsettling video of illegal aliens and other criminals violating our border openly," Gosar posted to Twitter. "The failure to secure the border is going to be the toughest Trump sell in 2020."
The criticism comes the same week Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Mexico convinced our neighbors to drastically increase efforts to slow the tide of illegal immigrants making their way through the country, bound for the U.S.
Mexico deployed thousands in the National Guard to its own southern border to get to the root of the problem, shut down financial networks supporting illegal migrant caravans and arranged to allow migrants to wait in Mexico while applying for asylum in the U.S. – all moves Trump's base undoubtedly supports.
Those developments follow Trump's executive order to divert what funding he can control to support border security, including military funding to build a wall, all the while fighting Democrats who oppose his every move.
Trump deployed the National Guard and U.S. military, regularly highlights the connection between the open border and the country's rampant drug problem, and increased efforts to remove illegal immigrant criminals throughout the country.
But the problem is much bigger than Trump, and it takes a lot of Democrats to cooperate with Gosar and his Republican colleagues to resolve the broken immigration laws that are fueling the massive migration.
MSM is using the current lawsuit by some of the families from Sandy Hook against Alex Jones to cover up the left's true gun control agenda. Constitutional Attorney Robert Barnes joins Alex to break down this attack on truth by fake news.
Folks as far away as the Congo understand that if you simply show up at the U.S. border with Mexico and claim asylum, it's highly likely you'll get in and receive government benefits while awaiting adjudication, which takes years.
"President Trump didn't create this problem, our laws are broken. As long as you can claim asylum in the United States and never be deported after you make the claim they will come forever," Sen. Lindsey Graham told Fox News last week.
As it stands now, it's catch and release, National Border Patrol Council Vice President Art Del Toro told One America News.
"Obviously, these people are being apprehended, which sounds great," he said. "But what a lot of people are not reporting on or failing to report is these large numbers that are being detained are also being released in the country and that is a huge problem."
It's a problem, he said, because "the percentages are very, very ow of what does show up" for immigration court dates.
It's also a situation that only Gosar, Graham and their colleagues across the aisle can resolve, and for decades they've been unable to get it done. Some speculate that many Republicans in both chambers who often bemoan illegal immigration don't bother to actually do anything about it because their Big Business supporters, like the Koch Brothers, rely on the cheap labor from illegal immigrants.
There's also plenty of people who think Democrats are fighting all efforts to fortify the border with an eye on recruiting millions of future citizens as potential voters.
Regardless, it's obvious to most Trump supporters that the president is focusing his efforts on what he can accomplish, while Gosar, Graham, and Democrats who have the authority and ability to actually change the law sit on their hands.
As Del Cueto put it, Trump's border wall would help, but it will take new laws to end the crisis, estimated to reach well over 1 million illegal immigrants in fiscal year 2019.
"With the funding for the wall, obviously it's helpful because it can funnel where we want the groups to go, but the big issue is going to be the law itself allows these individuals to come in to the United States and claim asylum and they're being released," he said.
"So at this point, even the wall, though very hopeful and very helpful, is not going to be the be-all end-all unless Congress decides to help us with a lot of these laws."

Call of Duty: Black Ops, by Treyarch (XBOX 360)
Okay. This is one of the hottest games out there. It beat a lot of release records, and has sold millions of copies. People have strong opinions about the game—they either love it or hate it. There's not much ambivalence here. A game like this is difficult to review, but I'm doing it. In the following review, I'll break the game down piece by piece and let you know my opinion of the game. At the end of the review is also an ADHD Factor– things to consider if you're ADHD, from a fellow distracted gamer. So crack open a can of Amp (the purple flavor, 'cause it's awesome) and enjoy!
Synopsis: FIRST PERSON SHOOTER. Set during the Cold War/Vietnam era, this seventh installment of the Call of Duty series is set mainly in the mind of an interrogated soldier, Mason, who keeps hearing numbers in his head. You play the flashbacks he keeps experiencing while he is being intensely interrogated. Occasionally, you also play as other characters within the storyline. What is really going on? Who is interrogating Mason? And what are those numbers you keep hearing?
Features: There's a single-player campaign, an extensive multiplayer playground, zombies levels, and some little bonus side-games such as Zork and Dead Ops Arcade that are semi-hidden Easter Eggs. The multiplayer game features your traditional TDM, Free-for-all, Sabotage, etc., as well as wager matches, where you can bet your earned COD points that you will place in the top three of several different types of games (I personally recommend Gun Game and One in the Chamber!). There is a multitude of customization available as well, from your gun (camo, reticle shape and color, scratching your clan tag into the side of it, etc.) to your playercard (how your name appears in-game—backgrounds and customizable picture) to your person (outfits and face paint).
Pros: Campaign: Great suspenseful story, deep character development, decent length, good replay value (degrees of difficulty, achievements that encourage different playing, etc.).
Multiplayer: Amazing wealth of customization tools, addition of wager matches, very large community of players, a pretty decent balance of smaller maps and huge maps, the RC-XD self-guided exploding car (best. killstreak. ever), and other self-directed killstreaks such as the chopper gunner.
Other. The Zork and Dead Ops Arcade mini-games are actually pretty awesome. Zork is very frustrating and I succumbed to using a walkthrough in order to figure out what was going on (I know, I know), but it was still fun. (Look online for how to find these games if you're confused.)
Cons: The campaign probably isn't for the younger crowd, as there's a LOT of strong language and violence and gore, as well as (duh, it's a war game) very violent themes and such. I have to complain about the zombie games as well, although I admit I haven't played them that much. They seem more difficult than the World at War levels (although some players may enjoy this more). They're not for me, though. I also wish there was a better way of selecting hosts, since the game glitches a little more frequently than I would like it to.
(These scores are out of 10)
Graphics: 9 Maybe I'm biased because my first real FPS was Call of Duty 4, but I almost always prefer the COD graphics over other games. It just seems much easier to distinguish people from background in these games. I also enjoy the way this game immerses you in that era and right into the middle of the settings, whether it's the gritty interrogation room or the snowy Soviet settings or the lush jungles.
Storyline: 8 The storyline, to me, was a liiittle confusing at times, with the way it jumped around, but I think it really tried hard to tell a good story. And it did. The whole game is sort of a "what's going on??" kind of storyline, where you're trying to figure out what those numbers are, but when the answers start coming, it's pretty shocking and kind of awesome. I also enjoyed the side characters, who– while admittedly not as developed as in games like Battlefield: Bad Company, but who is?)—made me feel sympathetic and actually care what happened to them, especially Woods for some reason. Probably his awesome bandana.
Gameplay: 9 Through the storyline, you get to visit a lot of different settings and situations. This keeps the gameplay feeling fresh and different. The multiplayer part also has nice gameplay—the maps are extremely varied (tiny, cramped Nuketown versus huge maps like Radiation and Cracked).
Controls: 9 A very familiar layout from the other Call of Duty games, the controls felt comfortable and natural. You can, of course, change them in the Options setting if you prefer a different layout. Like I said earlier, controlling the RC-XD car and other killstreak rewards is so awesome. Driving that little tiny car is probably my favorite part of the game!
Replayability: 10 As with a lot of these multiplayer games, the replay value is high. The campaign itself is good for maybe a few playthroughs, especially if you like to try all levels on Veteran, and/or if you are collecting all the achievements. The multiplayer game, however, has high replay value. With all the customization tools available, you'll have a lot of fun trying out different guns, and there's no shortage of people online at any given time, so you shouldn't have a hard time getting into a match any time you want.
TOTAL SCORE: 45/50= 90 (A-minus)
The ADHD Factor: Keeping up with the storyline in the campaign was a little difficult at times, since I tended to stop paying attention during a few of the cutscenes (i.e. "bathroom breaks"). The mystery factor was good enough to keep me somewhat engaged, however. Because of the way array or features available in the multiplayer part, I would say ADHD gamers will not get bored during this game (unless people in your lobby KEEP voting for Firing Range…).
Reminds me of: the other Call of Duty games.

"Everything is true, nothing is permitted" An Interview with Blake Butler
by Johannes Goransson on Feb.21, 2012
[Notre Dame undergraduate Joe Wegener conducted the following interview with Blake Butler in connection with Blake reading at the Notre Dame Undergraduate Literary Festival last week. Part of the interview was published in the Notre Dame Observer, but I thought I would publish the whole thing here.]
Joe Wegener: So, first off, what are you gonna' be reading at the Lit. Festival? Nothing, There Is No Year?
Blake Butler: No idea. I tend to wait to the last minute to figure out what feels right. Probably the fiction, as reading nonfiction feels weird in the mouth.
JW: I can dig it. Let's keep talking fiction vs. non-fiction. Nothing: A portrait of Insomnia was published this past year by Harper Perennial. Your first work of non-fiction, yeah? What was the research process like? How did it effect the movement and pacing of your writing? I read somewhere that you wrote the first draft of There Is No Year in about 10 days. This must have been a little different.
BB: I thought I was going to hate researching because I more like to write out of mood and frenzy of sorts, and I thought that would maybe slow me down. Though I found the process of reading intensively about what I was writing about while I was writing about it to be actually very motivating, in that it provided constant stimulation and springboarding for the forward progress of the work rather than a thing I had to attend to first. With something like sleep as a subject, the research can be found almost anywhere: you find references to it in most anything you read, and that made a nice kind of web around the center of the idea. I kind of began with what I already knew about insomnia from my own experience and then moved outward from there in whatever direction seemed to intuitively make sense, with some places along the way I knew I wanted to touch. I still wrote the book rather quickly, as I still approached it with that same force I apply to fiction, though in both cases producing an early draft and then sculpting it intensely over time thereafter makes a nice mix of results somewhere between mystery and logic.
JW: Very cool. I love that you "like to write out of mood and frenzy of sorts." In another interview, when asked about the spatial format of There is No Year, you talked about the "spatial constraints" as sort of shaping the story's logic and narrative flow. It's interesting that (in Nothing) you moved outward from your own experiences "in whatever direction seemed to intuitively make sense." In this way, did you feel like you actually had more creative freedom/space with this project?
BB: I definitely felt that having the facts and experiences and emotions and ideas of sleep and consciousness surrounding my progress rather than just walking blindly into whatever sentences I was writing gave me a closer knit but also bigger kind of room to play around in. Constraints can be really freeing in this way, in that you don't have to construct everything from the ground up, as you often do in fiction. I can quote Andy Warhol or mention him and then the book gathers the idea of him there, not to mention whatever comes around him. The nonfictional body gathers and consumes a lot in the process as you are going, I guess I mean, if you approach it the right way, which is certainly encouraging toward making even bigger spaces.
JW: Big spaces… HTMLgiant is a big, BIG space. The schizo literature magazine blog of the future, as I like to call it. It's contributor-driven, wide-ranging, and totally fucking awesome. What is your role as editor like? Do you try to orient the site (its field of discussion, thought) in certain ways?
BB: I am glad you see it as shizo, that is exactly what I hope for from it, and what feels true. Early on I was active in the site mainly by getting people whose voices I thought would lend themselves well to such a state: mainly writers whose personal blogs I already read, that could then feed that energy into the field. I still direct the overall feel that way, and dunk my head in frequently enough to turn things ways I might like, though as a classical "editor" my policy for content is an inversion of an old line: Everything is true, nothing is permitted. Basically I like for contributors to have total open access, and to say things without the lens of having to pitch or explain themselves to an editor, or to have that editor wield their ideas on the ideas. It gathers a messy mass in that way, often self contradictory, sometimes loud. There are plenty of other places who do the opposite, so I'm glad to be in the midst of such.
JW: The "messy mass" – self-contradictory, loud, and almost always entertaining. It's an awesome site. Let's keep talking about online literature. One of the most popular posts on HTMLgiant right now is "Tao Lin's Big Kid Book Deal." In the post, Daniel Robertson writes, "A book published by Vintage will be seen, not just by critics that have managed to avoid Lin and maybe still haven't heard of him, but also by mainstream readers, the Barnes and Noble shoppers who have definitely not heard of him and who read the Stieg Larsson trilogy." Talk to me about the trajectory of online literature. Do you see more self-made, blog-popular types like Lin jumping into the mainstream?
BB: Things are happening, sure. I wouldn't call it jumping to the mainstream, but more an expansion of the field. It seems obvious that the internet is reshaping the way information is delivered, and therefore how a thing like a book might work, and certainly there will be some crossover. I don't know that it will change anyone's tastes, but it will give at least some of them a chance to get confronted with a different way, which is good for people even if they don't take to it. It seems like this will continue, as will the reverse of the previously large scale author retreating to the small press world. It's tough to predict what will happen to books five years from now, much less than twenty, but as far as I'm concerned things feel to be shifting, spreading.
JW: It'll be interesting to see what kind of lit. comes out of that "shifting, spreading," as you put it. OK, so one last question:
It's 11 p.m. on Friday night. You get a text message from your main man James Franco. He's hanging out at a Motel 6 with Leonard Cohen (22 year old, Beautiful Losers, Leonard Cohen) and David Lynch. Early-90's Brett Easton Ellis is on the way, he just has to "pick something up from this guy named 'Screech' on the corner of Mulholland and Encino but, like, don't worry about it because you wouldn't know him." Together, the five of you will be found responsible for the death of pop-sensation Whitney Houston. What happens?
BB: We watch Leave It To Beaver reruns in easy silence

How did the interviewee manage to keep from punching the interviewer every time he said something stupid like "I can dig it" and "totally fucking awesome"?

What is it about these words that makes you feel so violent?

I wanted to ask Blake why HTML Giant would not have thought to at least link to Montevidayo or Salon or the Chicago Reader or the Santiago daily La Tercera when there was considerable discussion a couple months ago about the protest actions at the Poetry Foundation by the Croatoan Poetic Cell–especially given the fact that the PF was calling forth the cops and attempting to arrest and prosecute the perfectly peaceful protestors. In what way did this not qualify as something newsworthy for HTML Giant? In what way would this not have been something at least worthy of offering for wider consideration and discussion? Why it not have been most natural to offer a link to a very unusual feature article in a place like Salon about a controversial topic among poets? The omission seems just plain weird.
I have noticed that HTML Giant is one of the most often linked-to sites by the PF's Harriet blog. I hope this wouldn't in some way help explain HTML's noticeable silence on the shameful behavior of the Poetry Foundation. A few people have suggested this *does* explain it, that the quiet was merely another instance of protocoled Rules of the Game Lit-Field self-censorship. But I was wondering what Blake himself might say, if anything.
February 24th, 2012 on 7:53 pm
I don't know why Kent, but it is true that not every blog links to every post about every event./Johannes
Kent Johnson
February 25th, 2012 on 5:48 pm
That's true. The Harriet blog certainly didn't link to the coverage, either!
Seriously, though, I understand quite well why most poetry blogs wouldn't have wanted to touch the issue with a hundred-foot pole. Big Momma Poetry Foundation has a long reach now into the "post-avant." So one must be careful, you know. Gotta play those cards with care…
My point in asking about HTML's failure of coverage under this post on Blake is that the blog does regularly link to Montevidayo stuff (where the PF events were well and nobly covered), so they obviously knew about the matter. And HTML is also *all about* unusual, newsy lit-news stuff. It's their bread and butter. What could be more unusual and Field-newsy than a 100-million dollar literary behemoth calling the cops on young poets for peaceful Institution-Critique protest (at a Raul Zurita event no less, where Zurita himself later praised the CPC activists!)? Or that this organization sent two legal representatives to aggressively argue in court that generous jail time be applied to one of the "offending" poets at the most violent women's prison in the country? Or, you know, what could be more newsy than that a publication like Salon magazine (along with a few other very prominent places here and abroad) ran a feature story about it? You're going to tell me that HTML wouldn't have linked to a Salon story on Tao Lin, for example? Of course they would have. True, one can't cover *everything,* but sometimes omissions are not necessarily innocent…
And that's what I am saying here: I think the HTML Giant editors purposely chose to blank out the shameful PF events because they knew their Lit-pals at the Poetry Foundation wanted the issue as suppressed as it could be.

A while ago I read an excellent book called The Pragmatic Programmer. One of the main themes throughout the book was the DRY principle. DRY stands for Don't Repeat Yourself. I'll blog about that another time, as talking about it now would be a violation of the DRY principle later. Anway, the authors of the pragmatic programmer suggest that in order to avoid repetition in different forms where possible code should document itself.
Visual Studio offers a tool to help you do this. You can decorate your code with special comments by typing in three forward slashes. One of those tools is the xml comments feature that helps you comment functions in a useful way.
/// <summary> /// A summary of what this method does. /// </summary> /// <param name="pFantasticString">The significance of the pName parameter that is passed in.</param> /// <returns>Information about what this method returns</returns> static bool AwesomeMethod(string pFantasticString) { return true; }
This is really handy for two reasons. The first is because it gives you a helpful structure, and a reminder about what sort of information you might want to put in your comments (However sometimes good naming of variables make the comments a little redundant). The really nice thing about documenting your code in this way is that visual studio can use this to populate intellisense, so people using this method don't even have to find the definition to read these comments. They just pop up as and when they might be required.
As I said, good method and function names can sometimes render such comments redundant, but sometimes they are invaluable.
Take this example using the .net Random class. This comment reassures me that if I ask for a random number and pass in 0 and 5, then there is a chance I will get 0, rather than the lowest value possible being 1.
Additionally, by checking a box in a project's build menu you can get visual studio to create an xml file of your project. This could be used to create documentation for the internet automatically, using tools such as Sandcastle.

Madison Capitals forward Mick Messner had a clutch weekend.
Messner scored three goals and four points, including two overtime game-winners and an assist on another overtime-winner, en route to being named the United States Hockey League forward of the week.
The 17-year-old had the game-winning overtime goal on Friday against the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders. His second goal against the Dubuque Fighting Saints on Saturday also served as the game-winner. His primary assist on Sunday also downed the Fighting Saints in overtime.
Messner has a five-game point streak (4 goals, 2 assists), and has 10 goals and nine assists in 37 games this season in what has been an eventful year. The 2017 NHL Draft eligible has represented USA Hockey at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial and the World Junior A Challenge, and has skated in both the CCM/All-American Prospects Game, and USHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.
Youngstown Phantons defenseman Michael Karow had a week that didn't go unnoticed, too.
Karow, eligible for the 2017 draft, had four assists and was plus-4 in a weekend sweep of the Bloomington Thunder. He has 16 points (1G, 15A) in 41 games this season, including six assists in his last three games.

The hotel also has three grand halls for meetings and events. To get around in style, book a chauffeur-driven Mercedes Benz S-Class, available 24-hours a day.
The restaurants at Narutis Hotel offer historic settings and Old Town views. Breakfast is served on white-clothed tables beneath the brick arches of the cellar, while you can have lunch and dinner in either Restaurant Narutis' antique dining room or on sofas and tables on the cobbled streets outside.
Restaurant Narutis – The flamboyantly floral décor and period-style furnishings in the hotel's main restaurant create a sophisticated atmosphere for dining on a menu of traditional Lithuanian and Mediterranean cuisine.
Bar Narutis – A selection of desserts, snacks, and organic teas are available at this bar with a classic British-inspired décor, in addition to Champagne, aperitifs, and cocktails for an atmospheric evening.
Cellar Restaurant – Set within the 16th-century arches of the hotel's cellar, this cavernous restaurant serves a hot buffet breakfast — complimentary to guests — using fresh ingredients from local farms.
Terrace Restaurant – During the warm summer months, the Terrace Restaurant opens up on the main street as a casual place for cold beers and Lithuanian dishes such as potato pancakes with cottage cheese sauce.
Start your day with an early morning workout at the underground spa, and then use the swimming pool, sauna, Turkish bath, and Jacuzzi. Peruse the artworks and 18th-century frescoes throughout the building and then take a look at the commemorative memorial plaques on the hotel's façade. The names of the former residents — famous scientists, writers, and university professors — tell the story of the building.
Out in Vilnius, stroll toward the Lithuanian Art Museum, and then stop for a craft beer and local lunch of kibinai (a pastry stuffed with mutton and onion) at one of the outdoor cafes in Town Hall Square. Spend the afternoon at the National Museum of Lithuania and Vilnius Cathedral, and then visit either the Hill of Three Crosses, or take the funicular up to Gediminas' Castle Tower. From the top, you can get spectacular views of Vilnius' stunning red roofs and Gothic buildings.

In 2018, cell phones, tablets and computers combined with free applications or software give us the ability to create high quality video and broadcast it within moments. The internet gives us access to vast free video resources. Yet in spite of these technological innovations, students still consume digital media mostly passively in classroom settings. Three free online platforms allow you to create different types of video-based tasks that engage your students more actively.

The active learning methods have in common of placing the students in the middle of the learning process. Their teachers can then also think about giving them a role in the planning of the evaluation. Active learning is inspired by real-life contexts that are meaningful for the students, which can increase their level of motivation for the tasks that are suggested to them. It encourages durable learnings rather than using only their short-term memory.

"Do Sentencing Enhancements for Drunk Driving Decrease Recidivism? a Regression Discontinuity Approach"
The title of this post is the title of this new empirical paper by Miguel De Figueiredo, which has this abstract:
Using micro-level data on drunk driving arrests in Arkansas, this paper exploits discontinuities in sentencing enhancements at various blood alcohol content (BAC) levels to estimate causally the effect of the increasing penalties on recidivism. Specifically, the research design examines defendants just above and just below a BAC level of 0.15 to see if the effect of an increased license suspension by an additional two months has an effect on recidivism.
The paper finds that increased penalties in the neighborhood of the discontinuity in the form of license suspensions have no statistically significant effect on drunk driving recidivism, suggesting that the increased penalty does not deter defendants from committing another drunk driving offense in the future. The paper's focus on suspension of privileges as a form of punishment, coupled with its rich micro-level data (15,973 defendants from two jurisdictions) and research design that enables reliable causal inferences and estimation, make it contrast with numerous studies in the extant literature.
