Casino Software Providers
The soul of an online casino is the software that powers it. Online casino operators have two options—develop their own software or use software provided by other companies. Casino software providers are not all alike. While some of them specialize in slot machine games for land-based casinos, others specialize in developing software for online and mobile casinos. For casinos, gaming software determines the worth of the online casino. Therefore, it is important that casinos chose a reputable casino software provide.
Here is list of the biggest casino software providers: Cryptologic, Microgaming, Real Time Gaming (RTG), Net Entertainment (NetEnt), Rival Gaming, Vegas Technology, BetSoft Gaming, Cozy Games, Dragonfish, and Bally Technologies, to mention just a few. Below you will find reviews on our favourite casino software providers.
One of the biggest providers of casino gaming software providers in the world, Microgaming was launched in 1994. The company became very famous with the launch of its sophisticated Viper technology in 2002. Microgaming is known for supplying the largest portfolio of online casino games and for releasing new games on a regular basis. As one of the founder members of eCOGRA, the watchdog of the online casino gaming industry, Microgaming gives top priority to responsible gambling, fair play, prevention of underage gambling, and customer support. Since Microgaming gives great importance to compliance issues, it does not operate in gray markets. Microgaming casinos, therefore, do not accept US players.
Microgaming casinos offer a download, instant play, the developer is a world leader in an ultra-competitive online world and remains one of the finest when it comes to creating incredible products backed by reliability, extraordinary graphics, and great sound while games can be enjoyed across several platforms including desktop, tablet, and smartphones. While the developer is famous for its funky-slots such as Lucky Twins, Mad Hatters, and Mad Mad Monkeys it's the branded slots that attract film & TV series fans with titles including Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones and Playboy.
With a reputation for being the backbone of the online gambling industry, it is the progressive jackpot games that kept Microgaming in the news with life-altering payouts from games such as Mega Moolah, Mega Moolah Isis, 5 Reel Drive, and other jackpot games. Known as the pioneer of the future, Microgaming introduced online players to its virtual reality roulette game at the ICE show in 2016. Its CRYO lab is specially created to host ultra-futuristic events, and the new reality changing the game was created to further study the immersive potential of VR gaming in gambling. Its new VR roulette transports players to an amazing virtual space when enjoyed wearing the Oculus Rift DK 2 headset with the leap motion to keep track of hand movements.
RealTime Gaming
Launched in 1999 in Costa Rica and Atlanta, RTG enjoys a great deal of popularity among players from different parts of the world. RTG has developed an impressive portfolio of games, which includes the Real Series of Slots with their randomly activated progressive jackpots. RTG gives its licensees the freedom to set their own payout percentages, bonus structures, and promotions. In other words, RTG operators can customize the software according to their tastes and preferences. RTG is not particular about compliance issues, owing to which RTG casinos operate even in gray areas. RTG is therefore very popular among US players.
Playtech, one of the major software providers in the industry offers an impressive portfolio of bingo, skill games, mobile games, live games, casino, and poker products. Playtech casinos offer a download, instant-play, live gaming, as well as mobile casino services. Playtech is one of the longest running most prolific online providers and was founded in 1999.

By 2006 its value was estimated to be £550 million when it was listed on the London Stock Exchange. Playtech offers a sensational range of video slots, classic slots, and branded games as well as progressive jackpots. Most enjoyed games include Daring Dave And The Eye Of Ra, Innocence Or Temptation, Kong 8th Wonder Of The World and Top Trumps Celebs. The hugely popular Marvel range of superhero online video slots are now being replaced by a brand new series of games all focused and created the magic and myth of Greek mythology of ancient Gods.
The new range called Age of the Gods had seen five new titles released including the Fate Sisters, Furious 4, Goddess Of Wisdom, King Of Olympus as well as the Prince of Olympus all linked to multiple progressive jackpots. Playtech is the first developer to launch a virtual reality sports product to over one hundred outlets owned by Coral and the brand new release has the potential to soon be available at over one thousand outlets. The new VR gambling product offer players several game options and permits viewing of featured games. In June 2016 the developer introduced a more realistic tennis product that was already geared towards VR.

Adverse Weather and Emergency Closing Policy
PS 09 00e (Revised 3/25/11)
A. Policy
It is the policy of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke to protect employees, students, and visitors from adverse weather or other conditions of a serious nature. The University does not, as a matter of general practice, close its operations or cancel classes because of bad weather. Exceptions to that practice are rare and occur only when the weather is particularly severe and poses a clear and present danger to the safety and welfare of students, faculty, or staff. Classes taught off-campus (e.g. Sandhills CC, Richmond CC, and Fort Bragg, etc.) are held unless conditions at those sites are hazardous or the off-site facility is closed. UNCP follows the decisions made by those local sites.
It is recognized that in some individual cases travel may be hazardous even though closing is not warranted. In those cases, everyone is advised to take all reasonable precautions in coming to campus given his/her personal circumstances. The university expects students to make every effort to attend class but not to place themselves in dangerous driving conditions. Faculty members will accommodate those students who are unable to attend class because of hazardous weather conditions. Faculty and staff members who are commuting to the Pembroke campus or to one of Pembroke's off-campus sites should assess driving conditions and notify their department heads/deans if they are unable to meet their classes and/or report to work. Arrangements should be made as early as possible to allow for student and employee notification.
B. Scope. This applies to The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, all University employees and activities.
C. Closing Determination
When the threat or the presence of adverse weather or emergency conditions present a safety hazard to University personnel and students, it is the responsibility of the Provost/Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, or designee, to evaluate weather and emergency conditions and determine if it requires modifications to the regular campus class or normal work schedule.
Conditions that necessitate the closing of the University, the closing of a University building, or the curtailing of operations that may be hazardous to life or safety include: catastrophic life threatening weather (snow, ice, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood or other natural disaster), fire, equipment failure, disruption of power or water, contamination by hazardous agents, terrorist acts or forced evacuations from the University or worksite, that present a threat to students faculty, and staff while attending or traveling to or from the University.
Should the decision be reached to modify daily operations, the Special Assistant to the Chancellor, or designee, will announce modifications to the schedule via media outlets, the university website, switchboard operations/emergency phone number (x6888) and campus email. In addition, students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to check the University website when the possibility of adverse weather or emergency arises. Updates about the status of University operations will be posted on a continuing basis.
All University closings must be reported to the State Personnel Director within five days after the occurrence.
D. Closing Announcements
Announcements of modifications to daily operations may take one of three forms: a) classes are suspended, but offices will remain open. Emergency employees must report to work, while other employees are strongly urged to consider campus conditions and the weather conditions in their residential area, as well as law enforcement reports of road conditions, before making a decision whether or not to come to work, b) the university may delay the start of classes and business operations but emergency employees must report to work, and c) classes are suspended and all University offices are closed. Emergency employees must report for work. Employees who have not been designated \"emergency\" should not attempt to come to their worksites.
E. Mandatory Operations/Designation of Emergency Employees
Some University operations require employees to report to or remain at work in order to provide emergency services during periods of adverse weather. The University will provide staff designated as emergency employees with advance written notice of this status and obtain the employees and supervisors signature. Emergency status is considered a condition of employment for these employees and will be included in the official position description and job announcements, as well as on the employee's work plan. Emergency employees who are required to remain at work during hazardous times may be relieved of duties for the period of time necessary to assure safety of their families.
An emergency employee's failure to report to work can result in disciplinary action and/or requiring the hours missed to be charged to leave with or without pay, as appropriate. Exception: When conditions cause an emergency employee to arrive late, the Vice Chancellor may determine that the conditions justified the late arrival. In such cases, the lost time will not be charged to the employee's leave balances or to leave without pay, and no disciplinary action will be taken.
Also, emergency designations may change depending on the emergency situation. If the University determines that a situation requires employees who are not designated as emergency employees to report to work or remain at work depending on the nature of the emergency the University supervisor will notify the employee individually and report the designation to Human Resources.
The University Police, the Student Health Services and the Cafeteria are to remain open under all circumstances.. Facilities Operations, as necessary, will assign a work crew.
F. Offices Open In Adverse Weather or Emergency Conditions It is the responsibility of employees to make a good faith effort to come to work during times that adverse weather or emergency conditions of a serious nature exist.
Employees, not working in mandatory/essential operations, who anticipate problems in transportation should be permitted and encouraged to avail themselves of leave privileges when encountering difficulty in reporting for work or when leaving early.
G. Accounting for Time
Employees must account for any work time lost due to adverse weather or emergency conditions, unless the Chancellor closes the campus or buildings on campus. If an employee leaves work early, or if an employee does not report to work due to transportation difficulty as a result of adverse weather or emergency conditions, .
Permanent leave eligible employees have 12 months from the occurrence of the absence to make-up time lost due to adverse weather. Adverse weather leave cannot be made up during a regular 40-hour workweek based on FLSA, and the requirement for employees to accrue at a rate of 1 ½ for all hours worked over 40 per week. Leave can be made up during weeks that include a holiday or during weeks the employee takes vacation or sick leave. Employees who volunteer to make up time on a holiday will not receive Holiday Premium pay or equal time off with pay.
Time lost will be charged to vacation leave, bonus leave, compensatory leave, or leave without pay for any balance remaining after 12 months. However, where operational needs allow, management must make every reasonable effort to arrange schedules so employees will have the opportunity to make-up time not worked rather than charging it to leave. If an employee separates from State government before the time is made up, it must be charged to vacation/bonus leave or deducted from the final paycheck.
Exception: If the Chancellor or his representative closes the University (Announcement C) employees will not have to make up the work hours lost due to adverse weather or emergency conditions during the period of the closing and will be paid for the hours lost.
If an employee was scheduled for an absence from work during an adverse weather or emergency closing event, s/he cannot code adverse weather or University closing leave even if the University was closed due to the event. Employees who are on scheduled to be off work on vacation leave or sick leave will charge leave to the appropriate account with no provision for make-up time.
H. Designated Areas To Report During Adverse Weather
In case of tornado or hurricane, the University Police will be responsible for contacting the personnel in all buildings. The Police and Public Safety Department has designated specific areas for students, faculty, and staff to report when the signal is given for adverse weather warnings. These areas are primarily interior building corridors. In an emergency, students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to stay away from glass windows.
Designated Areas Auxiliary & Main Gym Chavis University Center DF Lowry Education Center, ground level corridor Givens Performing Arts Center (GPAC) Jacobs Hall, suite hallways Locklear Hall, suite hallways Lumbee Hall, ground level corridor Moore Hall, ground level corridor North Belk, suite hallways Old Main Pine Hall, hallways Sampson-Livermore Library University Village Apartments Wellons Hall, suite hallways West Hall, suite hallways

Production at FAW-Volkswagen
The production of automobiles by the joint venture in Changchun includes the four major areas of car manufacturing: press shop, body shop, paint shop and assembly. Audi's annual production capacity at FAW-Volkswagen in Changchun has been expanded in recent years to 450,000 automobiles. At present, the plant produces the models Audi A4 L, Audi A6 L, Audi Q3 and Audi Q5. The flexible plant structure allows continued gradual capacity expansions – depending on market conditions.
Production at the joint venture meets the standards set by AUDI AG for all of the company's global plants. Audi had already brought ultra-modern automotive and manufacturing technology such as laser welding and hot-wax flooding to China in the late 1990s. And in 2012, the brand with the Four Rings was the first car manufacturer to integrate lightweight components in local production with the new Audi A6 L.
The FAW-Volkswagen plant completed in Foshan in southern China in late 2013 also includes the full production process. Since 2014, the Audi A3 Sportback and the Audi A3 Sedan have been produced there. The Audi facility in Foshan can be ramped up to a capacity of 150,000 to 200,000 automobiles per annum.
In line with demand, Audi plans to expand its total capacity in China (Changchun and Foshan) to up to 700,000 automobiles each year by 2017.

This weeks recipe is from Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan and is the Cranberry Crackle Tart located on pages 135-137. The crust is a sweet tart dough that you par bake and me and the crust got in a little altercation. I had made notes in my other cookbooks about par baking crusts and to only do it for half of the time because I always over bake it without fail. Well that is what happened, but good thing that I decided to make a double recipe of the dough. So I just had to wait for it to defrost and then I could make the crust again. I also added one more egg white (3 total) to the filling.
I made the tart today because we went to dinner at my in-laws tonight and we had it for dessert. I was very pleasantly surprised by the flavor. It was the perfect compliment to the sweet shortbread crust, tart cranberries, and creamy meringue. I would definitely make this again because for the most part it was simple.

A & I certification not just a 'rubber stamp'
A lawyer has been found guilty of unsatisfactory conduct by a lawyer's standards committee of falsely signing documents as a witness.
Mrs E signed five documents, including an Authority and Instruction form, and all five contained statements that they were signed in the presence of the lawyer, D.
The committee said D acknowledged that she had signed the documents as a witness to the signatures of Mrs E, which was false. Mrs E was in Hong Kong when she signed the documents.
D also certified on the A & I form that she had sighted Mrs E's original forms of identity; that the photo, name and signature matched Mrs E's names and identification provided; and that Mrs E appeared to be of sound mind. All those assertions were false.
The committee said while D did not intend to be dishonest by falsely certifying the documents, she was "procedurally careless" in doing so.
"The committee considers that the conduct is serious," its decision said.
"If a lawyer's certification cannot be relied on to be true and correct, it has the potential to undermine the integrity of the entire registration system."
"It is important for consumers of legal services to be assured that a certification by a lawyer can be relied on absolutely," the committee said.
"It is never acceptable to certify documents when the facts so being certified are not true and correct. It is of crucial importance that lawyers be aware that certification of documents and A & I forms is not just a procedural 'rubber stamping' exercise, but certification of truth and accuracy to which proper consideration must be given."
The committee said it considered an adverse finding to be sufficient penalty, and ordered D to pay $500 costs.
Written notice of the determination was provided to the Registrar-General of Land at the committee's direction.
Supervisor's conduct also unsatisfactory
The committee also held an "own motion" investigation into D's supervising partner, F, in relation to her supervision and management of D.
In a separate decision, it found unsatisfactory conduct by F.
The committee said it acknowledged that F went to great lengths to ensure that Mrs E's signatures were properly witnessed in Hong Kong. F also arranged for the witness of Mrs E's signatures to prepare a separate letter which was sent to F's firm, confirming that the overseas witness had witnessed Mrs E sign the documents.
When the documents were returned to New Zealand, F asked D to complete the execution of the documents to the other parties. D then mistakenly believed that she could also witness Mrs E's signatures on the documents.
F did not provide D with any specific direction or guidance in relation to the witnessing of the documents.
"Given the complexities in question, the committee considers that she should have reviewed the documents following completion of the execution by [D]," the committee said.
"The committee considers that [F] failed to competently supervise and manage [D], which resulted in the false witnessing and/or false certifying of the documents."
Taking into account F's move to incorporate proper witnessing and certifying documents into her training of junior staff, and that F's conduct was at the lower end of the scale of unsatisfactory conduct, the committee considered an adverse finding against F was sufficient penalty. It also ordered F to pay $500 costs.

David Gilhooly is an artist who plays with, well, just about everything. Meaning within imagery, titling, materials. His donut cart in the Stanford Hospital's cafeteria is wonderfully ironic, and this work in the Anderson is hilarious.
It's a call out of American food ideas. It's about gluttony, about the precarious balance of American food production and consumption. The moose at the top is an interesting touch, and maybe it's just me that makes it into a sign of Canada, but maybe not.
Ultimately, Gilhooly played with everything here to make a sort of sensical non-sense. There's a ton of stuff here, some of it makes sense, and the signs are obviously pointing to things, but there's so much more that we need to try and put into the mold that just doesn't seem to fit in with a logical image. If you've seen the brilliant and underrated film L.A. Story, there's a scene where the brilliant Harris K. Telemacher gives a massive disection of a large solid pink painting where so much is just in his head, but there IS something that sets Harris off, that takes him towards that diatribe. That painting has meaning, and so does Gilhooly's work.
Or maybe not...
I once owned a Motherwell. It was a work on paper, so it wasn't exactly enough to buy a house, but I sold it to pay a couple of months rent. This work, Italian Summer was painted based on his time in Provincetown and the views of the waves crashing on the beach outside his studio window. It is basically a representational work, at least for Motherwell, but to me, it says something amazingly important. This, viewed at Landscape instead of portrait, it is a Motherwell as recogniseable as an Elergy for the Spanish Repubic. It is a fine example of the ability for the natural world to be as abstract as the visions of the Abstract Expressionists.
There is a long long long history of paintings about women reading. From Fragonard to Picasso, it's a subject that never seems to get old. Here, Richard Diebenkorn takes on the subject in, perhaps, the most California way possible, by setting our bookworm at the beach, shoes kicked off, her butt directly in the sand instead of on the chair at her elbow.
I always have problems with artists who turn from Abstract Expressionism. In 1955 or so, Diebenkorn moved away from his AbEx work into a more figurative, comparatively literalist, period. While his color palette is still not natural, and his brushstrokes show like Van Gogh and Monet before him, he is representing something in a way that expresses a situation, a scenario. This is a traditional subject painted in a semi-traditional way within a non-traditional tone expression. That makes this work a wonder to behold!
Sometimes, I get caught in the same trap a lot of folks who hate Modern Art get caught in - THAT'S NOT ART!!! It happens, from time to time, and usually it's me applying my own sense of artistic values to pieces that exist outside of them. In fact, at that point, I'm doing what critics did to the Impressionists, failing to realise that the artist is saying something more. At that same time, I'm completely and totally guilty of the opposite. Not everyone who hates the things I love hates Art; they just have a different set of values. While I have no interest in paintings that depict the world faithfully (for the most part), I need to be reminded that there are others to whom that is all that art is. To me, that's craft, and craft nearly universally bores me. When I look at early Warhol commercial work (and anyone who doubts his talents in drawing and drafting need only seek them out and see how amazing he was) I'm bored; but give me a silkscreen, something that takes a tiny fraction of the craft that those drawings would have, and I applaud knowing that I'm witnessing something with real depth.
That said, I hate Erdnase by Tony DeLap. I hate, hate, hate it.
It is a black painting, which in the right context can be fine with me, but it is on a canvas that is mostly round with a bulge. Earth-Nose is what Erdnase means when you translate it from the German, and in fact, the earth is not a perfect sphere, but has several bulges. The canvas has what appear to be two bulges, but that second one towards the top may be a trick of the eye.
This is a shaped canvas work, though not nearly in the same league as the ones in the section across the way populated with folks like Frank Stella. The canvas' shape is all there is, and maybe that's the point of giving us only the matte black of the paint on the misshapen canvas. but that's all there is. There is nothing for me to grab on to other than the fact that I speak a little German and get that aspect. Still, to me, this ain't Art, but I also understand that it's in a museum, has been curated, judged to be Art, and I need to accept that. Doesn't mean I have to like it, though; all art ain't for everyone.
I love Yosemite. I've been more times than I can count, and this summer, we're taking my twins there for the first time and it will be the moment I really feel like I've given my kids something that was given to me when I was young that actually meant something.
This is one of the most playful pieces in The Anderson. It is a dark, overly blue version of Carleton Watkin's photo of Yosemite Falls. The funny bit here is that the falls are entirely composed of old-timey cameras.
Yosemite is one of the most photographed places on Earth. It's natural beauty is unrivaled, and the work of Watkins, and later Ansel Adams (who I once did a class with when I was 5 or so, which was the cool thing about that guy is that he used to do those things!) helped to spread Yosemite's popularity, which led to the tourists taking their pictures, assuming that the subject of Yosemite was enough to make them Watkins or Ansel with their instamatics or Brownies.
When I think of the Abstract Expressionists who aren't Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler is the one. Her works, which feel more ike lcontained stains than paintings, haunt me.
Haunt me in that these colours do not exist. It is not the blue paint that matters; it is the seeping weeping auras that encircle the blue that matter. She is painting not in negative, but neither is she painting in the positive - she is painting in the suggestive, The atains are the work, and the actual paint is merely the vehicle to make them happen.
This is likely my favorite painting in the Anderson. It's beauty is in the depth, in the bleed. I love it.

When I think about puns, I think about paintings. Apparently, that's the best place for 'em! William Allan's Half a Dam is a visual and a word pun, all rolled into one!
Three Minute Modernist Podcast - The Anderson Collection - Timeless Clock by David Smith
I love this gallery, but am not thrilled with this piece personally, though I completely get why it's one of the most important in the Anderson Collection, and absolutely adore how they've positioned it as a focal point, a defining aspect of the most important room of the museum!
This multi-panel painting is one of my least favorite in the Anderson Collection. Bartlett, an artist I usually enjoy, seems to be doing something that I can not quite figure here, and at the same time, I can't deny that there IS something here, some figurative moment that appears to be working as a work of biomorphic abstraction within a a straight-forward, if disjointed, pair of landscapes.
And then it hit me - this is only a pair of landscapes because my brain stitches is together as one.
This is a work of forms, a series of completely abstract works that are then placed within proximity of one another, and my brain does the rest, but take this as an installation piece indtead of as a painting, and there's something here.
Or, at least I think there is...

Introduction: Electric Bmx Build
This is my electric bmx build on a bmx mongoose frame. I started out by buying the bmx and stripping it of its tackie decor before adding my own style to it. Once I had done that I then purchased an electric 500w motor and 48v controller. I mounted the controller on the rear part of the frame with only some cable ties and used an old camera case to conceal most of the wires. Then came the lacing of the motor to the front wheel. As the wheel was 390mm across the internal part of the rim I was able to measure the size of spoke needed once I had taken the measurement for the hub from top to bottom which was 245mm so I had around 145mm or so to play with. I then ordered 200x80mm pre cut and threaded spokes and nipples, the rim only took 36 spokes in total so began to thread each one evenly around the rim to the hub motor eventually tightening each one precisely. My final finishings where the laid back seat post and retro looking handle bars. All it needs now is a battery which are expensive lol

Stack some Lithium polymer batteries used for Remote Control projects. They are quite compact and handle a very large current. If you do, make sure you pay strict attention to the individual cell voltage. Do not let any of them fall below 3.7 volts. Doing so will cause early demise of the battery.

Birds are charismatic and conspicuous animals. They also serve as excellent models for understanding many biological concepts, including: evolution, physiology, behavior, and ecology. In this program we will study avian biology at the organism level (inside: physiological systems and adaptations of birds) as well as birds as components of ecosystems (outside: population and community ecology and avian social systems). Through lab and field work, students will gain a holistic understanding of avian biology and in the process will learn about birds commonly found in the Puget Sound area in springtime.
This offering will prepare you for careers and advanced study in:
biology, wildlife biology, and ecology.

I may get cocky and try tomatoes and lettuce now that it's a little cooler. I'd love to have parsley and rosemary too. And an avocado tree. Now I'm just talking crazy.
hexagon block using Jay McCarroll's Habitat collection. I wanted to surround the entire hexagon with the light purple, but I ran out of it. Now I'm bored with it. I'm ready to try something new today.

International Socialism
A seminar hosted by the quarterly journal of socialist theory
Marxism and the Alternatives to Crisis
It has been three years since the economic crisis first manifested. The credit crunch has given way to financial crash and the Great Recession. The ruling classes of Europe, faced with a growing crisis in the Eurozone, have embraced austerity and cuts in order to shift the cost of the crisis to workers, students and the unemployed.
In response, we have seen movements of resistance right across Europe. In countries like Greece, France and Ireland, strikes and protests have been complemented by alternative programmes and debates about the way forward for the movement. In Britain, the student revolt has marked a turning point in the struggle. This seminar will bring together academics and activists to discuss the current situation and what lies ahead.

I've been away for a very long time but it's cool to be back I'm also happy to share my latest.
We gave my daughters a dollhouse bookcase (bought) for Christmas but I was determined to do the furniture myself. I love the simplicity of Waldorf playthings, so I sort of styled these in that manner. This is an in-progress shot of the kitchen and part of the living room. I used balsa wood and lots of online tuts, lol. More to come!

text: For this episode, I speak with mom and step-mom Jackie Gillard. Jackie is a writer with a great blog called "My Papaya Jambalaya: Random thoughts on life in a second marriage with a blended, transracial, adoptive family." She and I chat about her unique journey to motherhood, first with becoming a step-mom and then, following unsuccessful fertility treatments, through international adoption. Jackie wrote a beautiful contribution to the 1,000 Families Project on our website, thenewfamily.com. And it's actually one of the posts that helped us get nominated for best blog in the Canadian Online Publishing Awards. Jackie opens up about the triumphs and challenges of life in a trans-racial blended family, including how she handles some of the crazy comments from strangers. And you won't want to miss the story of the first moment she met her daughter.

Its that time of year again! When the weather gets cooler, leaves start changing colors, and Starbucks brings back the Pumpkin Spice Latte! Yum-O! This is usually my cue to start using pumpkins in everything. More so because now we can buy canned pumpkin puree whenever we want! How amazing does that sound?
One of my favorite things to make with pumpkin puree are these amazing pumpkin muffins. They have quickly become a fan favorite for so many of our friends and family in the past few years. Every year we send them to school as a treat for the twins' classrooms, we've made them for neighbors, friends, and of course, to have around the house as a quick snack.
You're going to be amazed at how easy this is! There are 3 ingredients, it takes 13 minutes to bake and everyone that has ever had them, has loved them! Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think!
- 1 can Pumpkin Puree (Trader Joe's is where I get mine)
- 1 box Vanilla Cake mix (Trader Joe's again)
- 1 cup Hershey's Cinnamon Morsels
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees
- Combine cake mix, pumpkin puree, and cinnamon morsels in a large bowl until smooth
- Scoop batter into a greased muffin pan
- Bake in oven for 13-14 mins depending on your oven
- Enjoy!
Fun Tip: If you love pumpkin as much as I do, you're going to want to buy a few extra cans of pumpkin puree and store them in the back of the pantry for a little fall fun throughout the year!
If you try these out, I would love to hear how they turned out!

Attempt New Skills
For the first three months after my injury, I had no control over any part of my body. In rehabilitation, my upper arms were the first to recover. The muscle spasms usually drew my forearms up, effectively causing severe cramping.
My occupational therapist told me my biceps and deltoids were the only two muscle groups in my arms that still received signals from my brain. My triceps, the groups that assist in straightening the arms and pushing forward, had none.
In therapy, we focused on strengthening those muscles that worked. As I grew in basic strength, my therapist encouraged me to attempt new skills.
Since I was right handed, we worked on fine motor skills of feeding myself, brushing my teeth, and handwriting using splints. My left arm developed more gross motor skills: pushing, lifting and carrying items I needed during each day.
In God's providence, my muscles adapted to my different abilities. Next, I had to accept my new life as a quad. Just as God causes new blood vessels to grow around a clogged coronary artery, God allowed new skills to develop around my paralyzed body.
Sunday school, Bible study, sermons, and talking with other Christians all taught me about God. The more I learned of His desire for His people, the more I knew His desire for me—for my life. He called me to make a difference for Him.
Through leading and teaching small groups, counseling, listening to the one who was hurting and telling people what God has done for me I have, and will continue to make a difference.
We may be weak, worn and weary yet God still calls us. He may seem distant but He's right here. He has provided all you need to fulfill His call in your life. No matter what you have to offer, God will use it.
Be strong and attempt new skills in your daily life for Christ.
"For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose" Philippians 2:13 NIV).
In Christ,
Friends, Remember to share with your friends. People are being blessed around the world for God. I am so thankful to be a broken vessel in the hands of a loving God.

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'Hyperuricemia' category.
Parts utilized
Chemical constituents and properties
Leaves contain a high percentage of potassium salts (0.7 gm in 100 grams of fresh leaves.
From dried leaves, a small amount of volatile oil and a bitter alkaloid, orthosiphonin.
Considered anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and hypoglycemic.
Decoction of leaves used for kidney and bladder problems and other afflictions of the urinary tract.
Also used for its diuretic effect.
Poultice of leaves or chewed leaves stuffed onto painful tooth.
Java Tea is derived from Orthosiphon aristatus, touted for its diuretic action, kidney flushing benefits for kidney and bladder stones.
• Antihypertensive: Antihypertensive actions of methylripariochromene A from Orthosiphon aristatus, an indonesian traditional medicinal plant : Methylripariochromene A (MRC), isolated from the leaves of OA showed blood pressure lowering effect and a vasodilating action, decrease cardiac output and diuretic action. It supports the traditional use of the plant for hypertension treatment.
• Na+,K+-ATPase Inhibition: In the study of ten Thai indigenous medicinal plants, O aristatus showed high potent inhibitory activity .
• Three Indonesian medicinal plants were studied for their biologically active constituents. Three benzochromenes and four isopimarane-type diterpenes isolated from the leaves of Orthoshiphon aristatus were shown to exhibit inhibitory effects on
smooth muscle contractions caused by several stimulants
• Diuretic: O. stamineus extract exhibited dose-dependent diuretic activity with a significantly increased excretion of K. There was also slight increase of BUN, creatinine and blood glucose levels, although statistically significant when compared to control , the levels were considered within normal range. Although less potent than furosemide and HCTZ, care should be taken in its consumption because of alterations in kidney parameters.
• Nephrolitihiasis Study : In a randomized control trial of Orthosiphon versus placebo, no statistically significant difference was found.
• Hepatoprotective : A study on the methanol extract of leaves of Orthosiphon staminues against paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity showed treatment with OS extract brought back the alterered biochemical markers in a dose-dependent manner suggesting hepatoprotective activity.
• Diuretic / Hypouricemic : A study on the methanol extract of OS showed significantly increased excretion of sodium and potassium excretion in a pattern comparable to hydrochlorothiazide. It also showed reduced serum urate level in hyperuricemic rats. Study provides evidence towards a diuretic and hypouricemic effect in rats.
Toxicity Study
• Chronic Toxicity Test : A study on the chronic toxicity of water extract of Orthosiphon aristatus on Wistar rats showed that high doses of the extract caused a reduction of serum sodium levels in all extract-treated groups and increase alklaine phosphatase level and incidence of hydrocalyx in male rats, therefore advising that the prolonged use of OA should be avoided.
Chemical constituents
Rich in tannin: fruit, 14 to 17 %; leaves 13 %; bark, 10%.
Corrosolic acid is being studied for its glucose lowering effect.
Parts utilized
Leaves, fruits, flowers and bark.
– Roots have been used for a variety of stomach ailments. Leaf decoction for diabetes; also use as a diuretic and purgative.
– Decoction of old leaves and dried fruit (dried from one to two weeks), 50 gms to a pint of boiling water, 4 to 6 cups daily has been used for diabetes. Old leaves and ripe fruit are preferred, believed to have greater glucose lowering effect. Young leaves and flowers have a similar effect, though only 70% that of matures leaves and fruits. The wood has no known glucose lowering effect; the bark, a very small amount. A decoction of 20 gms of old leaves or dried fruit in 100 cc of water was found to have the equivalent effect to that of 6 to 7.7 units of insulin.
– The bark decoction has been used for the treatment of diarrhea.
– The bark, flowers and leaves used to facilitiate bowel movements.
– Decoction of fruits or roots gargled for aphthous stomatitis.
– Decoction of leaves and flowers used for fevers and as diuretic.
– Leaf decoction or infusion used for bladder and kidney inflammation, dysuria, and other urinary dysfunctions.
• Diabetes: (1) Banaba is being studied for its application in the treatment of diabetes. Its ability to lower blood sugar is attributed to its corosolic acid, a triterpenoid glycoside, belived to facilitate glucose-transport into cells. (2) Studied with abutra, akapulko, makabuhay for antidiabetic activity through activation of gucose transporter activity. One of the active principles from Banaba was the tripertene, corosoric aicd.
• Weight loss: Studies in mice suggest an antiobesity effect. It is becoming a common ingredient in weight-loss supplements / products as a metabolic enhancer.
• Hypertension: It is also being studied for its use in the treatment of blood pressure, renal and immune system benefits. • Lipid-lowering: Studies in mice suggest a lipid lowering effect – decreasing triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. To date, no toxicity has been identified.
• Hypoglycemic Activity of Irradiated Banaba Leaves: Study showed the effects of nBLE and iBLE were comparable to the hypoglycemic effects of insulin.
• Xanthine oxidase inhibitors from the leaves of Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers: Xanthine oxidase is a key enzyme involved with hyperuricemia, catalyzing the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine to uric aicd. The study supports the dietary use of the aqueous extracts from Banaba leaves for the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia.
• Antidiabetic activity of a standardized extract (Glucosol) from Lagerstroemia speciosa leaves in Type II diabetics a dose-dependence study: Study showed a significant reduction of blood glucose levels with the soft gel formulation showing better bioavailability than a dry-powder formulation.

Take a look at this recently unearthed footage from the abandoned film project THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVES DOWN THE LANE 2: ESCAPE TO PARIS! This would-be sequel starred JODIE FOSTER reprising her role from the previous film in which she played a murderous adolescent. The unfinished second installment involved FOSTER's character Rynn Jacobs who, in order to avoid police questioning, high tails it to France to live anonymously. Keeping a low profile becomes a real challenge when tomboy Rynn is discovered singing in a bistro and quickly becomes the toast of Paris. Unfortunately Rynn still has her fair share of secrets to keep and soon the Seine is littered with the dead bodies of her Svengali-like manager , a rival songstress and a nosey chef. Although at least 40 percent of the film was completed, the entire production was canned due to the disappointing reception FOSTER's other musical effort BUGSY MALONE received. By all accounts FOSTER is ecstatic about the discovery and vows to complete the film using state of the art computer animation.

A floor-to-ceiling mural of the snowcapped Alps, an indoor picnic table or two, and a 12-foot-high Jever banner: Lederhosen, a bierhaus in the West Village, bears the exact same DNA as the typical Bavarian pub. True to Euro form, the bar offers a drink on the list called "Diesel"—equal parts Coke and beer—but there's also an ample selection of German brews on tap, like Weihenstephaner and HB München that don't need mixers. Steins come in three sizes:
klein ($3), gross ($4.50 to $5), and
mass ($7.50 to $8.50), which is akin to a Big Gulp of Dortmunder pilsner. Flag down the waitress, who hails from a small town outside Munich called Burgau, for snack-perfect sausages ($3.50 each), among them wieners, weisswurst, and bratwurst, which are served in crusty buns, topped with sauerkraut, onions, red cabbage, and two different kinds of mustard. Yet the ultimate Bavarian sausage party comes in the form of the $50 Lederhosen Haus Special, a miniature keg of Spaten and wurst platter. Try to
anschluss that. Then top it all off with a shot of schnapps and pose for a picture in front of that mural, pantomiming a hike in the mountains. It's like you're there!

Gold prices hit an all-time high as demand surged to the highest level since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 amid volatile financial markets in Europe.
Spot gold in London surged to above $1,230 a troy ounce, surpassing the previous record set in December last year.
Gold prices in euro terms also hit a fresh all-time high of €969 an ounce in late trading in London on Tuesday, up almost 26 per cent since the beginning of the year.
Traders and coin dealers said buying was exceptionally strong from German and Swiss investors. In Frankfurt, gold sellers said that demand late last week was three to four times normal levels. The spike appears to reflect concerns in Germany about the potential inflationary impact of the European Central Bank's decision to buy up eurozone government bonds in the wake of the Greek debt crisis.
Michael Kramer, president of Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, a large New York-based coin dealership, said: "The demand has been huge overseas. Most of it is ending up in Germany." Edel Tully, precious metals strategist at UBS in London, added: "Coin demand is so intense that supply is struggling to match".

This is an extension of andrew26330's thread here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=27675
It's a bit too heavy for the browser, so try it out in the app.
An attempt to create sentries that only chase you while you're in their line of sight, but not through walls or objects.
While the player is within the sentries' angle of vision ( as indicated by the color-changing tiles), they shoot out invisible collectibles that auto wield, auto shoot, then dewield. While the player is wielding the item, the sentries switch to Chase mode. After 3 seconds, the item uses all its ammo and dewields, switching the sentries back to Watching mode until the ammo is filled up again.
One problem is that it takes time for the collectibles to reach the player, so there is lag between the sentries seeing you and the sentries switching to Chase mode. The spread of the collectibles is also unreliable and they tend to clump when being shot at 45 degree angles, often missing the player. There are also some performance issues with firing so many collectibles.
If there is a better way to achieve or optimize this, let me know!
Changelog v0.1:
-shrank and adjusted room
-added Red Alert Music (Credits to Konami. I do not own it.)
-added Cautious state to sentries
Maybe this will eventually be VR Training. We'll see!
This is actually very fun :)

The temperatures hit their worst points for the archetypal incident this Winter here in the North-East. We even got our basic snowfall dusting a few life ago. And of course of study it's no report that the enthusiasm costs are on the be on your feet. So I content it's fitting ever so timely that nowadays we talk nearly vitality economic porthole treatments.
Did you cognize that in a ideal home, windows article for nearly 50% of the boil increase and loss? Though windows are a scenic side in any home, they can also account for 10% to 25% of our bills. Since it reimbursement the mediocre American earth just about $1,000 to heat the house, that's up to $225 active exactly out the window! Also during the summer, air conditioners essential profession harder to cool hot air from shining windows, consumption much more sparkle and impulsive up costs. Ah, those windows - can't singing next to them, can't be minus them...
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, "you can choose pane treatments or coverings not one and only for garnish but also for redemptive life." So you see, I didn't say it, the Energy Department did. Naturally, I 2nd it. Window treatments are an fantabulous way to reclaim punch. They deal in detachment during the cold winter months as fine as repulse the steam during the summer.Post ads:

There are two earth-shattering concepts to hold distant (if you want to get retributive a bit method present). The initial is "the shading coefficient". The Shading Coefficient is a consider of the aptitude of the skylight tending to drop off star energy increase. The less the number, the smaller number solar warmness will get in your surroundings and the demean your temperature reduction bill will be. Conversely, there is other concept, called the R-value. The R-value is the method of material's antagonism to bake flood. The superior the R-value, the much the things insulates, the degrade your hot legal document will be. Phew, now that we are finished with this fun part, let's chat both specifics.
There are individual porthole cover options that maximize the force efficiency of a environment.
Blinds can decline warmth gain by as noticeably as 45%. It is a pragmatic opportunity that gives you air and standard lamp flow, plant to minify baneful summer sun radiation, and maximizes grill keeping in the season.Post ads:

Cellular sunglasses (also referred to as frame shades, if you remind closing article) is arguably sunday-go-to-meeting resort to reproduce the joie de vivre usefulness of your environment. Referring backbone to the trustworthy U.S. Department of Energy, the website states that, "when decently installed, glass glasses can be one of the simplest and most successful window treatments for positive life." Their peerless construction literally traps the air in the cells: so refrigerating air can't enter, time het up wrong air can't running away. Better yet, compartment eyeglasses 100% of U.V. rays that can swing and interrupt your equipment and terrazzo.
Traversing draperies will noose record of the air when kept out of use. As you know, all custom draperies are bordered (unless they are meant to be sheers), so, siamese to the compartment dark glasses from above, the air gets marooned not lone by one division of fabric, but by two! Of course, the further out your draperies forgive your fanlight on the sides, the well again their insulative virtues are.
You may be in the post where blinds, shades, or draperies are retributory not an odds for your locale. If that's your situation, write off as pane motion picture. It's a exceptional and slightest obtrusive way to bead your perkiness costs, ban fading, and close down other sun harm.
Here are a couple much austere tips to compliance the enthusiasm costs down:
* During winter, livelihood the glasses or blinds on south-facing windows clear during the day to allow visible radiation and heat to enter upon the habitation.
* Close blinds and specs at time period to help dampen grill loss. Also, when closing blinds, you'll increase filling if you stick down the blinds with the foremost border up.
* During summer, living the pane coverings blocked during the day to ban the sun from calefactory the familial.
* And of course, be secure to seal and weather-strip on all sides the windows, to lessen air outpouring or incursion.
