However, in this article we will primarily focus on blackjack being played with common rules in most casino establishments. We are a tad surprised by the omission of languages, such as German, French, and Spanish, especially given their proximity to the UK, but maybe Ladbrokes will consider them, as well.

HAMILTON, New Zealand — Celebrating 150 years of the Church in New Zealand, more than 4,000 members and friends attended a pageant chronicling the events and peoples of the past century and a half.
Jointly sponsored by the New Zealand Temple Visitors Center and the five stakes in the Hamilton region, the pageant portrayed the first missionaries arriving in October 1854 to open the work in the land that has since grown to 25 stakes and about 93,000 members. Although this membership is predominantly Maori, as the pageant attested, the Church in New Zealand now has a rich cultural blend of nationalities.
In attendance at the pre-recorded, multi-media pageant, presented Sept. 25, 28-30, were the mayor of Hamilton, several city councilmen and past and current members of parliament. Also attending were Elder Robert K. Dellenbach of the Seventy and Elder Lindsay T. Dil, Area Authority Seventy and counselor in the New Zealand Area presidency.
The pageant recounted how the first missionaries arrived from Australia, "but didn't stay very long. As in the world everywhere in those early days, there was persecution against the Mormons, so the converts, too, longed to be with the saints in Zion, and in the 1870s most of them traveled by ship to Salt Lake City," according to pageant publicity.
Until 1881 the Maoris weren't ready for the gospel; 99 percent of them had become Christian when Christianity was introduced, but they knew there was conflict among the Christian churches, and not only that, there were land disputes and wars between the Maoris and white settlers, or pakeha. Maori prophets — wise and respected leaders among the Maoris — had seen visions and told the people to wait, or taihoa. They would recognize the true Church when it came because the preachers would travel in pairs, would eat with them, stay in their homes, and teach the gospel in their own tongue. They recognized the true Church when the elders came.
Some of the early elders to New Zealand have an interesting posterity. One of these, Carl C. Asmussen (later changed to Amussen) was an early convert from Denmark who had a jewelry business in Christchurch and taught the gospel to William and James Burnett. Elder Asmussen was an ancestor of President Ezra Taft Benson's wife, Flora. William Burnett is a great-great-grandfather of Elder John H. Groberg, now of the Presidency of the Seventy. One of the missionaries who experienced some of the most success among the early Maoris was Elder Ira Noble Hinckley, who is related to President Gordon B. Hinckley.
The pageant choir sang a song called "The Land of Love — the South Sea Isles," which was written by New Zealand Mission President Elder Sydney J. Ottley, the father of former Mormon Tabernacle Choir director Gerold Ottley.
Also told in the pageant were the stories of the visits of President David O. McKay and of Apostle Matthew Cowley and his ministry among the Maoris.
One of the visitors at the pageant was Te Rapahara Wineera Jr., from Wellington. He is the "young boy" who received his vision from Matthew Cowley, made famous in a story Elder Cowley frequently told. The young father brought his son to Elder Cowley for a name and a blessing. As Matthew Cowley proceeded to give the boy his name and blessing, the father also asked Elder Cowley to give the boy his vision because he was born blind. So he blessed the boy with his vision. Brother Wineera attended and enjoyed several of the performances of the pageant.
The last part of the pageant told about the more recent growth of the Church among all the Polynesians and people from other lands, who have accepted the gospel, and who live and are rearing their families in New Zealand. In one-minute vignettes, stories were told of a Bolivian man, Simon Acarapi; a Fijian woman, Siteri Mellor; a Chinese woman, Hsing Hsing Wu; and a Korean woman, Charla Pak. After each told his or her conversion story, it was followed by a dance from his or her country.
"The dances are beautiful and include Maori, Tongan, Samoan, Hawaiian, Fijian, Colombian, Korean, Chinese, Russian, English and Irish presentations," said Sister Cecile Scribner, who serves with her husband, Elder Douglas Scribner, temple visitors center director. "The people in this area are rich with talent, and there are more than 400 people involved in this pageant.
"They just clap and enjoy each other's culture, right there on stage where everyone can see them — the whole audience picks up on it and gives a huge support to each of these beautiful cultures," she said.
"In the finale, as the choir sings 'Faith In Every Footstep,' flags from many nations fill the hall, and participants file on stage. Then the song pauses and more than 80 full-time missionaries rise up from their seats in the audience, singing 'Called to Serve.' They join the cast on stage, then together all finish 'Faith in Every Footstep.'
"It's spectacular."

The Price and Promise of Progress
This past season saw the culmination of my graduate studies, and, very likely, the end of my collegiate career. The graduation ceremony itself was preceded by the strenuousness of finals, and succeeded by all the usual pomp and circumstance associated with the consummation of the academic tradition. Then, no sooner than it had begun almost six years ago, having certainly been not soon enough for some, it was all over. The only tangible remnant is a slightly nicer-than-average sheet of paper with some slightly nicer-than-average printed font at the cost of a slightly larger-than-average student-sized debt.
It might seem somewhat unfitting to burden a piece of paper with representing the exploits of forty thousand hours, and the resulting characterological overhaul, but, of course, that was never really the intent. Most people don't anticipate that graduation day, at least in and of itself, will transform them into anything other than what they already are, or, for that matter, what they were the day before and will be the day after. Indeed, the degree itself matters a great deal for certain non-trivial things like employment marketability, but real acumen accumulates much deeper than the hand can reward, or the tongue can praise.
For who can decide at what point along the journey to knowledge we become sufficiently endowed to merit distinction? And how does personal transformation get aggregated into a singular critical mass worthy of regard? The easily measurable acquisition of technical knowledge can often steal the spotlight from the messy and complicated process of development that occurs at the level of being itself during these formative years. And, although the nature of this change is by no means well-understood, it nonetheless comes to direct, across time, the process of our becoming.
We are indeed creatures of habit, and the biological utility of our comfort zone is largely self-evident. It makes sense for a living being to consistently seek out and maintain a familiar context to preserve this state of being for as long as it can. After all, life wouldn't be very good at itself if things went around indiscriminately dying all the time. And nine times out of ten that answer would suffice, but then again, I don't write these things nine days out of ten either, so please bear with me.
Change constantly threatens to tip life's volatility against us and place us squarely in unfamiliar territory. Like cats in a new house, most of us aren't particularly happy when unexpected change transmutes our creature comforts into chaos. We all know, as a matter of instinct, that danger brews beyond the pale, so it's probably best to just play it safe, stay inside, and live to die another day. But another day we all die. Even if you do make it, healthy and in tact, all the way into ripe old age, cellular senescence and organ failure are sure not to be so serendipitously inclined.
We also know that discovery and self-definition are to be found far outside the confines of our various well-circumscribed shires. After all, that is the premise of legends, and the greatest adventures do not come without their perils. Those who incautiously probe the boundaries of their transformative capacity do not return themselves unchanged. They addict themselves to an entheogen of unknown magnitude, but those who spend their lives running away consign themselves to a far worse fate. Because, try as we might to avoid it, change finds us all in various stages of preparedness or flight, and presents itself simultaneously as savior and judge, donor and debt collector. Which of these you encounter appears to be a matter of personal determination. For example, it is already well-documented in the relevant psychological literature that the only consistently reliable cure for any phobia is voluntary confrontation with and incremental exposure to that which is the subject of the fear.
Socrates was among the first to capitulate this idea into his memorable maxim, "The unexamined life is not worth living" and then again perhaps more succinctly in the even shorter adage, "Know thyself." At first glance, both these axioms may appear to be of little worth. After all, who better to inherently, and without additional effort, know yourself in the most profound manner than you, having possessed and been possessed by yourself for the entirety of your conscious existence? However, there is a distinction to be made between the sea of subordinate yous that take on various purposes throughout the course of any given day, and the superordinate You that mediates between them and selects for optimal self-composition.
Although such a process may seem foreign and highly cerebral, everyone knows what it's like to be confronted by themselves with an urge to do something spontaneously immoral, which is then hopefully overruled by the moral conscience. As as result, it's not particularly useful to ask "who am I?" since it isn't so obvious whether you are the tempter or the tormented. Existing conditions act as a single snapshot in the collage of our lives, not the other way around. It is more appropriate to ask "who am I meant to be?" since aspirations define a person much more completely than their present circumstances. The parts of ourselves we despise are no less a part of us than the parts we love, and refinement comes at a price. After the dragon skin is torn off, we won't be left with much, but far better to do so than to live and die a monster.
So you might start to feel like you grew up too fast… And if only you could return to your childhood, you could better integrate your experience to form yourself into the sort of person you always wanted to be. If you could turn back the clock, you'd make sure the light defeated the dark, because, if life were a movie, it surely wouldn't end like this. So we return again to reacquaint ourselves with the past in order to mine as yet undiscovered revelation for use in the present. But memory fails and regret too readily takes it place. The past quickly fades, the present evades, and the future parades a new day always just one more away. Sometimes the only thing waking us up in the morning is the conviction that we could have done better yesterday.
It becomes all we can do to call forth the fortitude required, when the time comes, to discern between reality and the dream. Return too soon, and you'll always wonder if you could have come back greater and stronger, but stay too long and you might not make it back at all. So we fumble like fools through the impossible decision that everyone must make — to keep going until we find it all, or to come back before we've lost it all. Either way, we will go further than we ever wanted to go, stay longer than we ever wanted to stay, and pay more than we could ever afford. But we've all already bought the ticket, so the least we figure we should probably do is take the ride.
We are often faced with two paths — one of sand and one of snow, having a sense that we are not evanescent, but rather created in a short time for all time. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote that "of what is great, one must either be silent or speak with greatness", but we so often content ourselves with whispers and wishes as we inhabit disparate consciousnesses — one of potential, and one of reality — uncertain as to the nature of their coincidence.
But I hope all of this doesn't sound too discouraging, since I merely mean it to be an exploration into a thought process that, on some days, can be all too familiar. Fortunately for us, the simplicity of grace provides the perfect backdrop to the complexity of our daily wanderings. It remains our honor, as it always has been, to be a part of what happens when the unstoppable force of God's love crashes into the formidable pain found around every corner in human hearts. What greater call to being is there than that? Remember that you are not alone as you find what it means to be a light in the darkness, and don't let your uncertainties and insecurities get in the way when you are called upon to shine brightest of all. Don't be afraid to make your home on the shoulders of giants and set your sights on the highest horizon.
Times change.
Our God is forever.

On January 27, 2023, Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag, who was 4th in the English Premier League, gave an interview about his readiness before the FA Cup 4th round match that will open at home to welcome Redding, in 14th place in the Champions League. The competition is on Saturday, January 28, 3:00 am Thai time.
However, Ten Hag was asked about the future of Manchester United's 5 reserve players, incl Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Tyrell Malacia, Facundo Pellistri, Zidane Iqbal a Brandon Williams whether or not to move the team on loan in the January player market which will close on January 31st
Ten Hag explained to these 5 that "Aaron and Tyrell are playing great at the moment. They did well on Wednesday (League Cup semi-final first leg, 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest), with the back four doing brilliantly. we are happy with this because it shows that we have enough substitute teams. That's what happens when you play 10 games in 30 days, hopefully it continues like this.
"We have plans for some players who may have the opportunity to leave on loan. but not with some people Because they have to evolve in our environment. And our place in Pellistri's place on Wednesday was a sign.
"While Brandon Williams is on the bench for Wednesday's game. It's part of it. It also depends on him, but I like him We have to work with him and see how he develops. It was up to him when he could take his chance. If he wants to go on loan, then we have to talk.
Besides, Ten Hag wasn't sure. Jadon Sancho who recently returned to practice After recovering the mental state, incl Lazy Dalot a Luke Shaw 2 good full-backs will be able to take the field against Redding or not Sancho is training with the team. And we will wait to see how much it improves. he is taking steps And we will decide after training and Dalot will definitely not play and Shaw is still a question mark. So we have to see after training today if he is ready.

by Filmfare | February 5, 2023, 13:28 IST
Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor have gotten everyone talking about their sizzling chemistry in their next - Luv Ranjan's Tu Jhooti Main Makkar. As quirky as the title of the film is, this new on screen pairing has set the screen on fire already.

She captioned it with, "Filhaal hum toh sirf Cardio ke pyaar mein bheege bheege bheege @shraddhakapoor, #TerePyaarMein on loop dada @ipritamofficial."
Indeed, the cutest ever and Shraddha Kapoor too had the same reaction as she shared the reel on her official page. She captioned it saying, "uffff you cutestest @aliabhatt. p.s.: Ye kya makkaari hai Ranbir? Apne real id se aao."

In Ukraine, offended by the WTA because of the Russian and Belarusian tennis players
Ukrainian tennis player Lesya Tsurenko, in an interview with L'Equipe, once again criticized the leadership of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) in connection with the admission of athletes from Russia and Belarus to tournaments.
According to Tsurenko, she feels "abandoned and insecure", and she was given to understand that the WTA took a clear position on athletes from Russia and Belarus from the very beginning. The Ukrainian also accused the WTA of not doing anything for Iranian athletes.
"All the WTA has done is hand out ribbons in the colors of Ukraine so that every player can show their support for the Ukrainian people," Tsurenko said.
Earlier, Tsurenko withdrew from the match with Belarusian Arina Sobolenko at the WTA-1000 tournament in Indian Wells (USA) after talking with WTA head Steve Simon. In a conversation, he expressed confidence that athletes from the Russian Federation and Belarus would return to the Olympics.

Modafinil is a new drug used in the treatment of narcolepsy. Its administration in mice induced a dose-dependent increase in locomotor activity. The effects of modafinil were compared with those of dexamphetamine on three tests that assessed the anxiety level (drugs were used at doses which induced a roughly similar stimulation of locomotor activity). Dexamphetamine increased the latency of exploration of a white compartment, increased thigmotaxis in an open-field and decreased the time spent in the open arms of an elevated plus-maze. None of these responses was significantly modified by modafinil. We conclude that modafinil does not share the anxiogenic effects of dexamphetamine.

text: When reviewing the Gartner \u201cFour Futures of the CIO Role\u201d and \u201cFour Futures for IT\u201d recently, I was particularly interested in the quadrants relating to \u201cIT as an Engine Room\u201d and \u201cIT 'is' the Business\u201d. It\u2019s all to do with your specific focus and orientation. An internal focus, and operational orientation, is where IT is the engine room and the role of the CIO is a broker and engineer. An external focus, and transformational orientation, is where IT \u201cis\u201d the business and the role of the CIO is a pioneer and explorer.\n\tFor some reason, the mention of the \u201cengine room\u201d conjured up images of Scotty on the starship Enterprise telling Captain Kirk, \u201cshe can\u2019t take any more captain, she\u2019s gonna blow!\u201d. Or another more accurate quote that might resonate with CIOs, \u201cAhh, Mr. Scott, I understand you\u2019re having difficulty with the warp drive. How much time do you require for repair?\u201d\n\tWith this Star Trek analogy at hand, I started to think about who might be the appropriate role for the external focus and transformational orientation, and decided upon Mister Spock \u2013 the ship\u2019s science officer and a more strategic advisor to the captain relying upon data and logic to guide his captain\u2019s life or death decisions for his ship.\n\tAs Gartner accurately points out, the four future roles for CIOs and IT organizations, including the two I\u2019ve highlighted here, are not mutually exclusive. Any given CIO will typically operate in many of these roles simultaneously. What\u2019s interesting today, however, is that the disruptive trends are creating a myriad of opportunities for CIOs to take on more and more of the \u201cpioneer and explorer\u201d role and make IT an integral part, or even a leading part, of new business models, new products and services, and competitive differentiation.\n\tTo help illustrate this, we\u2019ll look at cloud computing, mobile computing, social business and big data with an eye towards how they\u2019re contributing to both IT as the engine room and IT as the business:\n\tCloud Computing\n\tCloud computing is supporting \u201cIT as the engine room\u201d by making it more automated, agile and flexible, and helping reduce IT costs. In this context, it simply helps IT run more efficiently and cost effectively. Emerging technologies such as software defined networks are also helping with this automation of the engine room by lessening the need for certain hardware elements, and associated labor-intensive configuration activities, to make network management easier.\n\tBeyond cost savings, however, with cloud becoming more pervasive, the ability to deliver new services in an agile, flexible manner has become one of the most compelling benefits of the technology. According to the 2013 Enterprise Cloud Adoption Survey from the Everest Group, \u201cReduction of TCO, building flexible infrastructure capability, and reducing provisioning time are the top three drivers to adoption across cloud layers\u201d. In their prior year survey, 82% had already met their flexible infrastructure objectives and 71% had met their quicker time to market objectives. The ability to rapidly deploy new services opens up opportunities for new, real-time business processes which previously had to be conducted over hours, days or even weeks.\n\tThinking about cloud in the context of IT \u201cis\u201d the business, as opposed to the engine room, opens up a number of scenarios. Firstly, rapid provisioning via the cloud can enable faster time to market to launch new service offerings ahead of competitors. The cloud also helps lower barriers to entry for some of these new online services so that smaller sized organizations can cost-effectively compete alongside their larger counterparts by either deploying their own cloud-based services or accessing the services of others. An example of the latter would be access to cloud-based predictive analytics. In addition, larger competitors can now afford to experiment with a greater number of new services and variations due to their lower deployment cost.\n\tSecondly, rapid provisioning can enable existing services to be effectively re-designed in terms of their workflow. In some cases, these services can be transferred from a back office function taking days or weeks and placed directly into the hands of a customer or end user who can now self-provision the service and be up and running in near- or real-time.\n\tFinally, the cloud can enable new business models such as community clouds and industry-specific clouds where a number of players can come together in differing roles to make up the overall ecosystem.\n\tMobile Computing\n\tMobility is enabling new interactions and processes, and is allowing us to re-imagine the way we access and consume information, communicate, and conduct business transactions. Just as there was a tipping point in 2011, when global shipments of mobile devices outpaced shipments of traditional PCs, I anticipate there\u2019ll be another tipping point around 2015 when the majority of customer interactions move to mobile devices. This will be further fueled as digital natives, those who grew up with digital technology, make up more and more of the workforce and customer base.\n\tThe key to innovation here is not just mobile-enabling existing applications and processes, but re-thinking and re-designing them for the new mobile context. A well-known and mature example here is the check deposit feature now available via smartphones as opposed to having to make a trip to the ATM. Of course, this kind of process innovation provides early differentiation, but ultimately becomes commonplace, and even expected, as copy-cat competitors rush in.\n\tIn the role of \u201cexplorer and pioneer\u201d, once one early differentiation starts to become replicated among your competitors, you can look to the next evolution of the technology for your next step. In the mobility arena, wearable technologies, coupled with augmented reality applications, will provide the next breakthrough in customer experience, instant information, and \u201chands-free\u201d process optimization. As I discussed in my article on Mobile Next.0, this combination of wearables plus AR will provide plenty of opportunity to differentiate and truly change the game in many industry scenarios in the years ahead.\n\tSocial Business\n\tSocial business is helping the engine room of IT by increasing employee productivity through internal social networks designed to speed processes such as knowledge sharing and expertise location, but it\u2019s also opening up a large number of additional business scenarios which can be further differentiated through socially-informed channels.\n\tMcKinsey\u2019s value levers for social business illustrate the many options available both within and across organizational functions. Examples include leveraging social to \u201cforecast and monitor\u201d operations and distribution functions, or leveraging social to \u201cco-create products\u201d via open innovation with customers. The time window for differentiation in these areas is still wide because organizations are at very diverse stages of adoption of social business as highlighted in the Digital Workplace Report 2013.\n\tFinally, as I discussed in \u201cThe power of social automation\u201d, the ultimate value of\u00a0social business\u00a0may not be in the areas of customer engagement and employee knowledge management and collaboration. Those things certainly have tremendous and clearly demonstrable benefits, but the greatest opportunity in the years ahead may be in the social enablement and modernization of enterprise applications.\n\tBig Data \/ Internet of Things\n\tIt\u2019s well known that big data provides plenty of opportunities for efficiency improvements via real-time monitoring and predictive analytics of operational and manufacturing processes, but what\u2019s less often discussed is the range of new business models it\u2019s opening up for players in the data value chain as industry specific ecosystems take shape. Future roles in this ecosystem include device and equipment manufacturers, data providers, analytics providers, and analytics integrators.\n\tEven non-IT players are swiftly moving in to claim a piece of this data value chain for their specific industries. An example is the recent acquisition of the Climate Corporation by Monsanto. The Climate Corporation's software platform \u201ccrunches weather-related data to help farmers more effectively grow crops\u201d.\n\tAs the Internet of Things adds to the amount of data within these ecosystems, it will amplify the possibilities with more and more machine-to-machine scenarios and even cross-industry scenarios. According to Intel, today the number of networked devices is equal to the global population, but by 2015 this figure will be twice the population. These new cross-industry business models will be able to leverage the masses of information available with a powerful combination of total recall, instant awareness, and predictive intelligence.\n\tKey Takeaways\n\tOne of the key takeaways here is that, with the disruptive trends, it\u2019s as much about business models, and new business processes, as it is about technology. Almost all new solutions will have some element of cloud and mobility embedded \u2013 maximizing these capabilities, for both \u201cIT as the engine room\u201d and \u201cIT \u201cis\u201d the business\u201d, is becoming a business imperative. As social business and big data continue to mature, we will see their capabilities get incorporated further into product and service offerings in many industries. Emerging trends such as the Internet of Things and wearable devices will enable a further wave of IT innovation that will transform business models. With IT becoming the core differentiator of business value, now is the golden age for pioneering CIOs to deliver innovative products in an \u201cIT connected world\u201d.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Senator Rochas Okorocha in connection with ongoing N2.9 billion fraud case against him by the agency.
The former Governor of Imo State was picked up on Tuesday evening from his house Maitama after the agency broke into the residence amidst gunshots.
Recall that on January 24, 2022, the Commission, filed a 17-count criminal charge bordering on diversion of public funds and assets running into N2.9 billion against the former Governor who is a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He was therefore granted bail, and thereafter jumped bail, according to EFCC, which accused of refusing to honour its invitations on the transactions that happened during his tenure as Governor of the State.
Okorocha was Governor of the State between May 2011 – 29 May 2019, and was thereafter elected as the Senator representing Imo West Senatorial district.

Häxan: The Real Unreal
Born in Denmark to a wealthy family in 1879, Benjamin Christensen dropped out of medical school to receive training as an opera singer, only to lose his singing voice to what was diagnosed as an incurable nervous illness. He then had some success as an actor in the theater, until his voice failed him there, too, whereupon he left the stage to go into business. In 1912, he returned to acting, this time in the thriving Danish film industry, but soon became more interested in directing. His first two films behind the camera, Sealed Orders (1914) and Blind Justice (1916), possess great charm and are well worth watching for their fluidity, ingenuity, and unpretentious naturalism, but their qualities can have led few of their initial viewers to expect from Christensen anything like the breakthrough of his third film, Häxan (1922).
Produced by the leading Swedish film company, Svensk Filmindustri, which lured him with the promise of full artistic freedom, Häxan (pronounced HEK-sen and meaning "witch") was the result of Christensen's lengthy research into the long history of witchcraft and of the persecution of accused witches in Western culture. As he once explained to an interviewer, his goal was to "throw light on the psychological causes of these witch trials by demonstrating their connections with certain abnormalities of the human psyche, abnormalities which have existed throughout history and still exist in our midst." In Christensen's view, the medieval and early modern women who were labeled witches, and who suffered torture and death at the hands of men armed with the power of the church, would in his time have been diagnosed as hysterics. He also thought that the understanding and treatment of mental illness in his own society fell short of being enlightened and humane. Christensen made the radical decision to present his research and his ideas on-screen not in one or two dramatized case studies but as a "cultural history lecture in moving pictures," mingling historical documents and reenactments.
Christensen filmed Häxan in Denmark in 1921 and '22. The film found an enthusiastic reception on its initial release in the fall of 1922 in Sweden and Denmark. Elsewhere, Häxan faced problems. Censors in several countries—including Germany, France, and the United States—objected to its numerous scenes of torture, sex, nudity, and anticlericalism, and only after undergoing extensive reediting could it be publicly shown in those markets. The film went on to spend decades in the purgatory of movies that are much mentioned but rarely seen; when Häxan was shown, it was often in a shortened 1968 version called Witchcraft Through the Ages, prepared by filmmaker Antony Balch and narrated by William S. Burroughs. In recent years, benefiting from successive restorations and wider distribution, Häxan has taken its place among the preeminent works of silent cinema. With its vigorous storytelling, its vivid and shocking imagery, its rich mise-en-scène, and its profound ambiguity, Häxan can be considered one of a handful of silent films that still have the power to engage a noncinephile audience on their own terms, and without needing alibis for performance style, cultural norms, technical means, or narrative conventions.
"One of Häxan's masterstrokes is the way it places together, on the same level of cinematic depiction, fact and fiction, objective reality and hallucination."
"In bringing together witch-finding judges, convent misdeeds, and black magic, Häxan prefigures no fewer than three cinematic subgenres that would later become popular."

More details: huge rank fluctuation reported by GSC in the US, stable in other countries (since Oct 7th) all rank tracking service reported stable top rank in US cities (as well as our own friend's testing across the country) only happen to 1 keyword and its close variation (other keywords that the page also ranks for are quite stable) only observed fluctuation for Desktop, while Mobile is stable in those low-ranked days, the average CTR is only slightly lower than normal days Does anyone have any idea what could this be?

Narcissism is a personality disorder characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Dealing with a narcissist in the workplace can be challenging, as they are often difficult to recognize and their behavior can be disruptive and hurtful to coworkers. Fortunately, there are some strategies you can use to handle narcissists in the workplace.
Recognizing Narcissism
The first step to handling a narcissist in the workplace is to recognize the signs. Common characteristics include grandiosity, entitlement, taking credit for others' work, manipulation of others for personal gain or recognition, inability to take criticism, and lack of empathy or consideration for others. It's important to remember that not all narcissistic behaviour is malicious; some people may simply have an inflated view of themselves without intending any harm.
Setting Boundaries
Once you've identified a narcissistic coworker, it's important to set boundaries with them. This means creating a firm but respectful limits on how they can interact with you and your work. For example, if someone tries to take credit for your work or attempts to manipulate you into doing their bidding, it's important that you firmly but politely stand up for yourself and refuse their requests—even if they become hostile or angry when confronted. Doing so will ensure that narcissists understand that their behaviour will not be tolerated and may even deter them from trying such tactics again in the future.
Countering Negativity
Another way to handle narcissists in the workplace is by countering their negative behaviours with positive ones. If someone is constantly putting down your ideas or belittling your accomplishments, try focusing on what you do well instead of getting hung up on the negative comments. Acknowledge the good things about yourself and your work—even if others don't—and don't let their negativity bring you down. Focusing on positivity will help protect your mental health from unnecessary stress and anxiety caused by dealing with toxic coworkers.
Dealing with a narcissist in the workplace can be difficult but it doesn't have to be impossible! By recognizing narcissistic behavior early on, setting boundaries when necessary, and countering negativity with positivity whenever possible, anyone can successfully handle working alongside a narcissist without experiencing undue stress or anxiety. So take a deep breath–you've got this.

Author: pops | Oct072007 Posted in Digg, Social Media 5 Comments In theory, given enough time, a roomful of monkeys pounding randomly away at keyboards will eventually produce Hamlet. Of course it's more likely that in significantly less time those same monkeys will discover Amazon, order William Shakespeare: The Complete Works and render the whole experiment pointless. Besides, from what I can tell, the monkeys have better work to do, namely coming up with for verbs to describe the process of social bookmarking. Once upon a time, it was simple. You went to sites like Technorati, and del.icio.us and bookmarked – or maybe tagged – a site. Then someone realized that the average web surfer's attention span was limited to one (maybe two) syllables and Digg was born. Pretty soon people were digging in the present and had dugg or digged in the past. It really got interesting however when other sites such as StumbleUpon and Sphinn entered the fray. Soon we were stumbling and sphinning along with digging. But what really makes it exciting linguistically is when we do all three (and more) at once. This is where the typing monkeys come in. Below are a few of the new terms for social bookmarking I've come across recently. I'm withholding the names of the monkeys to protect the innocent. diggeddumblagged diggity diggitied dsphugnugn dspugnmbled duggedited duggitted duggumbled dumbled dunn dunn sphunn shuggumbled sit and sphinned Sphinnmblicious sphinndled sphoosted sphugged sphuggumbled sphuked sphumbled sphunngg There's plenty more out there so feel free to contribute your favorites to the list (monkeys are standing by).

In the past few months there has been an increasing interest in the use of the Bitcoin as a technique of donation to non-profits. There has been a lot of discussion relating to the different advantages and disadvantages of this method.
Boost in Donations
Regardless of the controversy surrounding cryptocurrency and money laundering, donations of digital assets have grown over the last few years. These donations provide donors with an alternative financing path, avoiding financial institutions and policies. Cryptoassets also allow easy cross-border donations.
The boost in crypto donations is attributed to a number of elements, including the privacy of the donor, the growing demand for alternative types of financing and anti-government sentiment. It's also a more tax-efficient way to donate. In fact, the Internal Revenue Service categorizes donated cryptocurrency as home. Regardless, professionals think the crypto community will continue to grow in the coming years.
