Deep inside,
I search for that one thing
that awaits me on the other side,
or even here where my soul aches
with the absence of its other half.
It seems like eternity has passed,
still I cannot find you.
Still does my soul hunger for you,
like my body hungers for you.
Find me. . .

On the off chance that you go to the cinema without a guide you can be disillusioned and your preferred film could be torn from your hands by the film they are appearing at the cinema, leaving you out of the loop.
A guide like this one, which Indofilm gives, isn't only a smart thought, yet it's fundamental for any individual who adores a decent film. With such a significant number of good movies being discharged each year it is critical to have a decent manual for give you what's playing, when, what classification of film it is and what kind of value. A guide like this one will make your time in the cinema better, and not leave you frustrated.
Presently, the facts confirm that a few cinemas may run contrary to the natural order of things and not show their new discharges, however you should at present set aside the effort to watch the movies being appeared. With InDoFilm it's tied in with watching the movies as well as about watching them in the entirety of their brilliance, so you can choose if you need to see them once more. There is no should be stuck in obscurity, trusting that the film will end, when there is such an abundance of data online to enable you to choose. The incredible thing about cinema is that it is more open than any time in recent memory, particularly with the web.
Presently, the best spot to get the entirety of this data, which could assist you with settling on what film to go see is through a site like InDoFilm. Probably the best thing about this sort of site is that they give data on both present and exemplary movies, so you recognize what's out there. With the web currently having the option to investigate numerous classes, there are presently a lot of decisions to make your cinema experience something to recall.
There are a wide range of kinds of data out there on films you can watch and there is something for everybody. You can make up for lost time with the most recent Hollywood blockbusters, discover narratives to watch on the beginning of cinema or simply make up for lost time with certain works of art that are accessible to watch on DVD. This is the best part about the site and why individuals are making the most of their first experience of watching films as such, even the individuals who are not film sweethearts or fans.
InDoFilm is only the kind of site you would need to bookmark on your PC, as you may make some troublesome memories finding when you need data when you're in the mind-set to watch a film. They have data on nearly all that you might consider, from for what reason is a film worth watching, to where you can think that its online and if it merits the expense of watching it in any case. The data is as of now sifted through for you, so there is no compelling reason to invest energy trawling through film gatherings searching for something applicable.
These days the entire world is by all accounts moving to the cinemas, so finding the best cinema is something you don't need to search far for. So on the off chance that you've been considering taking in a film with companions or family then this is the spot to do it, where you'll have the option to get the full impact and not need to stress over appearing late or passing up the best pieces of the film. With all the film celebrations and new discharges out there, it's the best season to take your family along for a night of cinema.

You know your credit score is important, but are you clued in on what you might inadvertently be doing to sabotage it?
This three digit number acts like a grade for your financial life and is calculated based on the information in your credit reports, like your history of paying credit card bills and taking out loans.
Lenders use it to determine your eligibility for mortgages, car loans and credit cards, plus how high of an interest rate you'll pay. Your reports can even be pulled by prospective landlords or employers as they evaluate you for an apartment or job.
A FICO score, which is used by the vast majority of lenders, ranges from 300 to 850. Anything above 780 is considered very good and anything below 600 is considered fair to bad.
Here are some of the top credit score killers:
1. Paying bills late: Your history of making payments is one of the most important factors that goes into your credit score, whether it's for a credit card, student loan or mortgage. It's the first thing a lender wants to know, says Fair Isaac Co., which produces the FICO score, and composes about a third of your score. By slipping up and failing to pay your bills on time, your score gets dinged.
With that said, don't assume that just as long as you make payments on time every month you have perfect credit, says John Ulzheimer, credit expert and president of consumer education at CreditSesame.com.
2. Not paying bills at all: It's devastating for your credit score when you start missing payments entirely (say, you lost your job and can't afford your mortgage) and they get sent to collections. A collection listed on your credit report will typically remain there for seven years, regardless of whether you pay it off later or not. (That's right, an unpaid collection is no worse for your score than a paid collection.) With that said, generally the older a collection is the less it will hurt your score.
If you get to the point where you're forced into foreclosure or bankruptcy, that's particularly catastrophic and can easily knock 100 points off your score.
3. Maxing out your credit card: If you have a $10,000 limit on your credit card, that doesn't mean you should charge that much every month. In fact, experts say your credit card balance should never exceed 30% of your credit limit, and ideally it should stay below 10%. That means no more than $3,000 should ever be put on a card with a $10,000 credit limit.
It doesn't matter if you never exceed the limit and you're religious about paying your bill in full every month. The fact remains: Amassing big balances on your credit card, relative to your allowance, is harmful to your score.
With that said, there are a few tricks you can employ to spend as normal and take full advantage of credit card rewards, without putting your credit score in harms way.
For one, "you have ultimate control over the balance that's reported to credit bureaus," says Ulzheimer. Your balance is only reported once per month, which means you can pay down your credit card bill beforehand so it appears low when it's passed along to the credit bureaus.
The balance that's reported is typically the one on your monthly statement, so figure out when this hits your mailbox and pay well in advance. Call your credit card company to check.
Just "don't play chicken" with your bill, says Bill Hardekopf, CEO of LowCards.com. Your best bet might be to make credit card payments multiple times a month to ensure your balance is always low. Or if you make a big purchase, say a $1,500 flat-screen TV, go home and pay it off right away.
You can also try to boost your credit limit, either by requesting a higher limit on your existing card or signing up for another credit card. Your total credit limit rises with each additional credit line you're extended.
4. Thinking you don't have to pay if an item is in dispute: You're expected to pay your credit card bill every month, even if you're challenging an item on your statement. Were you charged for a catering job you thought was subpar or hotel parking you thought was free? Shipped a defective product? By all means, fight for a refund with the merchant and call up your credit card company to tell them you're disputing the charge (they're supposed to designate that charge as pending.) But then pay your credit card bill.
Just because you're disputing one item doesn't mean you're suddenly off the hook for paying the rest of your bill on time. A late payment is a late payment as far as your credit score is concerned. "Lose the short-term battle, but win the long-term war," says Ulzheimer.
5. Co-signing: When you co-sign a loan for a relative or friend, you open yourself up to blow-back from any bad activity that happens down the road.
"It's like saying, 'A bank won't touch you by yourself, but for some reason I trust you and I'll put my credit reputation on the line," says Ulzheimer.
The loan will show up on your credit reports, almost as if it's yours, and any missteps like late or missed payments will negatively impact your credit score. While it could make for an awkward conversation at the dinner table, you have to consider the worst case scenario before signing on the dotted line. Imagine if your son suddenly can't make payments, and you're faced with making them yourself or accepting the hit to your credit score.
6. Taking on too much credit at once: You shouldn't be opening a lot of accounts in rapid succession, especially if you're younger and don't have a long credit history. "It's a red flag that something is going on," says Hardekopf, because it indicates to a lender that you might be in financial trouble and grasping for credit.
Plus, every time you apply for a new credit card or loan, a lender makes something called a "hard inquiry" to check you out. This can ding your credit score, although if it does it probably won't be by much. Or for long. Inquiries aren't factored into your credit score after 12 months have passed.
7. Shunning credit: While it may seem counterintuitive, steering clear of credit and debt isn't the responsible thing to do either. When it comes time to buy a house or a car, and you don't have enough cash on hand to do so, the bank you approach for a loan will assess your risk. Do you have a squeaky clean past or skeletons in the closet? If you're a credit hermit, you'll have little to show either way.
Along this same line, you don't really want to go on a simplification binge and close old accounts. About 15% of your credit score is based on the age of your accounts, and older ones help demonstrate your responsibility over a long period of time.
What if you have an old credit card in your wallet gathering dust? "Use it to buy a lunch every month just to keep it active," says Hardekopf.
Plus, don't forget that by closing a credit card or other account, your total credit limit will go down. This may suddenly give the appearance that you're spending more, at least relative to your allowance, and inadvertently result in a lower score.

The banking industry has undergone a tremendous amount of change in the past 8 years as a result of the 2008 financial crisis. During this period, many small and large banks performed badly, several were bailed out and various others changed their business strategies and operating models. These steps were taken in order to accommodate cost saving measures and enforce stricter regulations. However, the degree, method and impact differed in large and small banks.
The small banks generally thrive on local community's knowledge, product customization and strong client relation management, with their thin network of ATMs or branches. Further, most of their income is generated through traditional banking business such as taking deposits and giving loans. On the other hand, large banks are full-service universal banks. They function like a huge multinational corporation, having multiple arms or segments, including bancassurance, investment and advisory services, wealth management services and the likes other than the traditional banking service. The large banks provide commoditized products with ease of access to their customers, through their wide network of branches and ATMs.
Source: Televisory Analysis
It is due to the difference in the business model of large vs. small banks, the factors that affect them are different. For instance, the quality of customer service in small banks would depend on the degree of product, fees, interest rate customization offered, the value derived from customers and customer retention ability. However, quality of service for large banks would be a factor of ease of access to products via multiple branches/ATM network, comfort in transferring accounts, efficiency of the online portal, and quick redressal of customer grievances. Moreover, financial and operational benchmarks need to be interpreted depending on the size of the bank. Let us reflect on few vital parameters for small and large banks and how it affects their profitability.
Net Interest Income to Total Operating Income
Since traditional banking is the core of smaller banks, this ratio will be higher for them in comparison to their big banking counterparts. Further, a higher net interest margin plays a more important role in determining profitability and return on equity for small banks than their larger compeers.
Non-Interest Income to Total Operating Income
This ratio would be higher for large banks as they have multiple fee-generating business segments. Small banks focus on interest income and thus, have inadequate or no fee-generating services.
Allowance for loan losses to total loans
Small banks would have a higher allowance for loan losses as even a few loan defaults could easily affect profitability in any given period. Additionally, small banks are mostly not completely hedged leaving them more prone to default risk. Thus, small banks practice cautious lending and focus on knowing their customers better than large banks.
Note: Data is annualised as of Q3 2015 for US Banking Industry
Source: FDIC Q3 2015 Quarterly banking Profile
The above table displays interesting facts – the sweet spot for the optimum economic size lies somewhere in the middle – neither too large nor too small.
Selling, General and Administration Cost to Total Cost
The large banks spend more on mass advertising and hence, their selling costs are higher than the small banks. In addition, technology related costs are higher in large banks as they have to spend more on IT system to integrate their different and complex business processes. Additionally, the advent of big data analytics and smart banking solutions would further increase such costs with the large banking institutions. Moreover, regulatory compliance costs are also higher in the larger banks as the "too-big-to-fail" are given more attention and they need to follow additional compliance procedures to ensure industry stability. It should be noted, that increased technology convergence and regulatory compliance costs impact profitability of the small banks more than the large banks due to a limited availability of funds for small banks.
Loan to Assets Ratio
While high loans to assets ratio translate into a high return on equity for both categories, it must be noted that a large portion of assets in small banks consists of fixed assets that are invested in their small branch network. Hence, a higher loan to assets ratio among small banks would indicate fewer branches. Large banks run on purchased capital funds. Therefore, a higher loan to assets would translate into higher ROE directly. A very high loan to asset ratio indicates higher risks of liquidity that a bank may face in the event of any 'run on bank'.
The small banks normally have an above average liquidity that impacts the availability of funds for profit generation. Conversely, large banks have low liquidity as they have a better inter-banking system and easy access to central bank funds, in a case of a liquidity crunch.
The large banks are more leveraged and risk takers as compared to the small banks. Further, capital ratios at the large banks are much lower in comparison to the small banks. Thus, it is imperative for the large banks to adhere to heightened and strict regulatory practices as a failure of a large banking institution may have a greater impact on the stability of the financial system. This does not mean failures of the small banks can be ignored, multiple setbacks from the small banks are an equal cause of concern for the regulators and governing agencies, alike to a large bank.
Therefore, is size, the key in determining the success or profitability? We do not think so.
Irrespective of the size, to remain successful, bankers need to ensure growth in an industry that is witnessing a flat revenue trend. The larger banks are likely to struggle harder than the smaller banks, with respect to register growth. As, they grapple with regulatory issues, high litigation costs, technology expenses, high leverage and low capital ratios. At the same time, large banks need to de-risk their business models and rebuild their brand image by concentrating on their core strengths while divesting in other businesses. The small banks are far less complex and need to focus on cost saving measures. This is required to mitigate much-needed and increased costs related to technology and regulatory compliance.
In conclusion, banks that are able to strike a balance between increasing revenue and reducing or maintaining risk exposures are the ones that emerge successful in the long-run.

Bartington is something of a lost village. Mentioned in the Domesday survey as 'Barterton', it was located in the large hundred of Bucklow within the parish of Great Budworth. On 15 July 1834 Bartington was formed into a new parish and this continued until 1936 when it was merged with Dutton for civil administration and with Little Leigh for Church affairs.
After being held by the Lowe family, Bartington Hall passed to the Done's, and in 1976 was bought from Mr Percy Done's executors by Dr and Mrs Hugh Malet.
The collection contains business accounts, administrative records and other documents relating to the Bartington area. The majority of the material relates to John Antwiss of Aston, High Constable, banker, arable farmer and tannery director. It contains letters, accounts and deeds, dating from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, including freight bills for the Bridgewater Canal. There is also material from the mid-nineteenth century relating to the Lowe family, including Poor Law and taxation records for Bartington Parish, Runcorn Union.

Archibald Bush knew that a person's leadership potential could not be measured by the population of their hometown.
Born and raised in Granite Falls, a small farming community in west central Minnesota, Archie dropped out of school in eighth grade to work on the family farm. He often told people that he probably would have stayed there if it wasn't for his chronic hay fever.
Instead, with $25 in his pocket, he left Granite Falls to pursue his fortune in Duluth, Minn. There, he worked as a laborer during the day, went to school at night and eventually landed a job with a little company that made industrial sandpaper.
Together with William McKnight, Archie would help transform that little company, known as Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, into one of the largest and most innovative companies in the world: 3M.
Archie eventually rose to become the company's executive chairman. In 1953, he and his wife, Edyth, took $200 million worth of company stock accumulated during his career and used it to establish the Bush Foundation.
Today, the Foundation invests in people with extraordinary potential to make a big impact in communities large and small — including the mayor of Granite Falls! We think Archie would approve.

Crackdown 3 got a brief showing at Microsoft's E3 2018 presentation, with a lot of shouting from the irrepressible Terry Crews and a lot of things blowing up. That's fair, as being able to blow stuff up has been a key selling point of this game - indeed, the initial marketing suggested we'd be able to destroy literally every single building in the game.
But in a trailer that contained some pretty interesting new gameplay - such as driving cars up vertical surfaces and spontaneously turning them into tanks - the only environmental destruction we saw was a few silos blowing up at around 49 seconds in the trailer below. That's really nothing we haven't seen before, and there was no evidence of being able to destroy literally anything we wanted.
This story is developing.
Welcome to PCGamesN, your one stop source for all things PC gaming this E3. We're going to be providing live coverage of every major PC-relevant conference, plus previews of all the biggest games straight from the show floor, including hands-on impressions and interviews with the developers who made them. We're also going to be scouring E3 and the internet for breaking stories, interesting tidbits, and rumours of what is still to be announced.

Can democracies stand up to Facebook? Ireland may have the answer – The Guardian
Last month, the Irish data protection commissioner (DPC) sent Facebook a preliminary order ordering it to stop sending the data of its European users to the US. This was a big deal, because in order to comply with the ruling, Facebook would have to embark on a comprehensive re-engineering of its European operations, or to shut down those operations entirely, at least for a time. – The Guardian
The author stresses that the issue of data protection of EU citizens will go on for months or years before it is properly addressed however it marks an important milestone for ensuring that the personal data stays in EU. The author highlights the limitations of legal resources available to tackle the issue in dialogue with international corporations.
The opinion presented while elaborating on Irish DPC and Facebook 'battle' does not answer the fundamental question made by Facebook representatives – why FB seems to be the only company, among many operating in Ireland and EU to be put under such scrutiny so far.

Published by Henry Barnard
I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up. View all posts by Henry Barnard

Top Marijuana Stocks For Your Next Years Watchlist
Marijuana stocks are still experiencing a good amount of up and down trading. From this volatile action, there's still a chance to find top marijuana stocks to buy. As many in the cannabis industry saw the cannabis banking measure has been removed from the NDAA. To much surprise, the market did not react as badly as some may have believed. In fact, some cannabis stocks have been able to stay in the green.
Marijuanastocks.com – MarijuanaStocks
As for the other half of the sector, this is not the case. The thing with the cannabis sector is the unpredictable trading pattern. With the amount of volatility that is in the sector, it can be tough to capitalize on the price swings. Especially with how most marijuana stocks have been trading over the last several months. Which is mostly due to the battle to enact federal cannabis reform.
In regards to federal cannabis reform, it may be safe to say that ending cannabis prohibition is on the way. As more confidence from investors is regained with increased support for the reform this may impact the sector. Meaning that with the eventual ending of prohibition it is possible to see more consistency in trading for marijuana stocks.
Cannabis Stocks Are Working To Build More Momentum
However, in this sector things are not always so simple as anything can change. That's why it's best to keep an eye open learn about what's going on in the niche. The more you know and are aware of what happens the better chance you have at making the right investment. Not to mention mitigating risk inside of a risky sector. Nevertheless, 2021 has been a year of growth and test of what the cannabis industry is made of. Especially in the United States where the dominant share of the industry lives. Below are a few cannabis stocks to watch heading into 2022.

There was a time when Nina Handler Asnes didn't know when she would get to see her mom, Barbara Handler, again.
Handler is one of Frasier Retirement Community's 500 residents who have not been able to receive visitors, participate in group activities or dine together since mid-March, when the Boulder facility put the protocols in place to protect them from the spread of the coronavirus.
But thanks to a partnership with Lakewood-based Pinkard Construction, Frasier can offer a safe way for family and friends to visit their loved ones in long-term care.
Dubbed the "Lov Pod," three tents with plexiglass walls and comfy chairs have given seniors a chance to visit outside the facility again. The pods are located on the south side of Frasier, 350 Ponca Place, and have been in high demand since they opened in early June. The pods were reserved 13 times Tuesday and five reservations had been booked by Wednesday afternoon.
Megan Thomas, Frasier's director of assisted living and memory support, said she knows how difficult it has been for seniors to not have regular social connection, which inspired the idea for the pods.
"Our number one concern is safety of our residents and number two is creating connections with their friends and families," Thomas said. "(We wanted) to be able to create a pod where they were safe and could see their loved ones."
Frasier's implementation of a safe visiting area comes at a time when long-term care facilities across the county continue to grapple with the coronavirus. According to Chana Goussetis, spokesperson for Boulder County Public Health, as of this week, five long-term care facilities are dealing with outbreaks. When two or more cases are confirmed in a 14-day period, it is considered an outbreak, according to Goussetis.
This week, Boulder County Public Health reported that long-term care facilities saw six new deaths from the coronavirus.
Frasier is among the Boulder County long-term care facilities that dealt with a coronavirus outbreak in its facility. Boulder County Public Health reported last week that the facility had officially resolved its outbreak. According to state data, there were no deaths at the facility. On June 3, Julie Soltis, Frasier's director of communications, said that two independent living facility residents tested positive for the virus, but had since recovered.
Boulder County Public Health reported Wednesday that the Boulder County has seen a surge in coronavirus cases in the last week, tying some of the new cases to protests and parties in Boulder's University Hill neighborhood. With no end to the pandemic in sight, Thomas said the pods may be there to stay for quite some time.
"The families don't want to put their families at risk, this (the pods) may be a reality," Thomas said. "This may be a our new normal for awhile."
While Thomas said many residents have turned to technology to engage with family and friends, "it doesn't create the same feeling as having your loved one in front of you." Thomas said it can be especially difficult for people in its memory care unit to process what they are seeing over a screen.
The pods are available for 45-minute reservations, leaving staff a 15-minute window to disinfect the pod and its furniture between each visit.
On Wednesday afternoon, Handler Asnes sat in a pod with her mother. While the two caught up on family news, a pair of walkie talkies with headsets allowed them to hear one another through the plexiglass wall that divided them to protect Handler.
Handler Asnes has used the pods to visit her mother several times since they opened in June. When she thinks back to the first time she was able to see her mom after nearly three months of separation, tears come to her eyes.
"I think I didn't realize how hard it was (to be apart)," Handler Asnes said. "It's just been my heart breaking over and over and loving that we can now be together."
Handler has been a resident at Frasier Meadows Retirement Community's memory care unit since late 2019. When asked if she has enjoyed getting to see people again, Handler joked, "It depends on who comes around." Handler added that her daughter, Handler Asnes, is one person she has been "a million percent" delighted to see.
While Handler Asnes kept in touch with her mom over the phone and attempted a few window visits from her mom's first floor room, it wasn't the same as being able to sit across from each other face to face. With colorful rugs spread out on the concrete and hanging flowers decorating the pods, Handler Asnes said she felt like she was just talking with her mom outside on the porch.
"Every time I come here, my heart just opens," Handler Asnes said. "I'm so happy I get to do this, who knows how long it would be before we would be able to visit. … (This is) just some semblance of normalcy."
Jessica Nichols, the director of marketing for Pinkard Construction, said that the Lakewood-based company has long been a partner with Frasier. The pods were built at no cost to the long-term care facility.
"A large chunk of our business is senior living facilities. We have a huge heart for what it's like to live in a senior community and we understand this is a situation that can be terribly isolating," Nichols said. "When these guys came up with this idea, it was an instant no-brainer. Whatever we can do to make this easier."

RHR Infinite Charm
RHR Infinite Charm is by our gorgeous young stallion RHR Infinite. Her mother is an exquisite chestnut/flaxen daughter of our lovely black stallion RHR Safar. She is also the mother of beautiful black fillies RHR Mona Elnafs, who just sold to Qatr and RHR Infinite Grace. RHR Safar is a lovely, impeccably bred stallion whose offspring grace some of the most important stables in the world, including the Princess Dima's in Saudi Arabia, Woodward's Arabians in the UK, and the internationally successful stable of Dorothy Brandi's, Templar Croft Arabians in Scottland as well as breeding farms in France and others in the Middle East. Safar is our black stallion that Amjad loved so much.
Charm's tail female line leads directly back to the extremely beautiful and rare to find in any pedigree, Julyanne. With that mare line and a sire line comprised of some of the most beautiful Straight Egyptians in the world, Charm's legacy is ready made.
Charm is a true black and her lovely face is well set off by a long, especially high set neck, strong body, correct straight legs.

There are some arcade games that will forever live on in our hearts and one such game is Donkey Kong. There's a whole generation of gamers out there who have tried their hardest to become the highest score record holder for this game. While it's pretty much impossible now to beat any of those records, you can test your skills out on Castle Kong, an homage inspired by the classic. While Castle Kong is similar to Donkey Kong, it has its own unique features that make it different. Not to mention the fact that this game has the possibility to win real-world money during its first 3-months of release.
First, let's talk about how Castle Kong and Donkey Kong are similar. Gameplay-wise, it's a similar concept. You're a prince who is trying to save the princess from an evil King. You have to make it up or down platforms in order to reach your goal while avoiding obstacles like enemies, enemy fire, and the occasional level trap. Speed will net you a score bonus, but survival is more important. Not only that, you can offset the time bonus by just point farming which is acceptable in this game. especially if you're going to that high score challenge.
However, just like Donkey Kong, don't expect the game to be a breeze. You're going to die. A lot. The only way to get good at this game is practice. While the concept seems simple, it's anything but. Castle Kong still has a slight clumsiness to it with its jumps and motions that are meant to mimic how classic games were, which only adds to the challenge and frustrations. Yet, you can't help but try over and over again to beat your highest score.
While modeled after Donkey Kong, the graphics here are greatly an improvement. Donkey Kong graphics for the most part were very pixelated, not that many colors, and the levels sat on a plain black background. Castle Kong however is very colorful and features very detailed backgrounds, even though everything is still pixelated. There's a lot more detail in this game which makes me wonder exactly what modern-day, retro reboot of Donkey Kong would look like. If it looks half as good as this, Nintendo would have a winner on their hands.
Aside from all this, you probably want to know about the real world prizes, mainly money. Basically from February 25, 2021 to May 25, 2021, players have a chance to post their highest scores to the leaderboard. Top 10 scores after launch day will receive a cash prize. You can win anywhere from $100 to $1250. There's even a $5000 cash prize for the first person to hit the kill screen
Castle Kong is a very good retro homage to one of the great classics, Donkey Kong. The gameplay is a throwback to simpler days when cometing for that high score was everything. Who didn't want their initials immortalized on the leaderboard screen at the arcade? With that said, fans of the classic will love Castle Kong and new players who have never experienced may want to check it out, even if it's for the novelty of winning actual cash money.
Castle Kong will be available on the Nintendo eShop on February 25, 2021.

ABIE France Rentrée Dinner, 11 September 2019
It was a record crowd that filled the dining salon of the historic and elegant Aéro-Club de France for the annual ABIE France Rentrée Dinner on Wednesday, 11 September.
ABIE President Bernard Tabary welcomed members and guests, including a delegation from the state of Queensland led by Linda Apelt, Agent General for Queensland, who joined ABIE France as a Business Member earlier this year.
In his address, Mr Tabary acknowledged the terrible fires that have ravaged the northern state.
"Our hearts go out tonight to all the people of Queensland."
It was a privilege to have as guest speaker Ross McInnes, Chairman of the Board, Safran, and Special Representative of the French Foreign Ministry for Economic Relations with Australia.
In a clever, concise speech, he took the political temperature of the world in 20 minutes, quipping that links between France and Australia were probably the best since Laperouse landed on the Sydney shores at the same time as Captain Phillip in 1788 (The two captains, however, never met).
Warning against what he called the growth of "The Terrible Twins" of nationalism and populism, he emphasized that populism had not taken root in Australia, "to its credit".
"Australia believes in a rule-based world governance, and so does French President Macron. Both countries punch above their weight, and we can achieve things others cannot, or will not."
Referring to the major submarine contract between the two countries, Mr McInnes noted that Australia was asserting its independence.
"The country is hedging its bets by building a strong defence system."
Borrowing a phrase from former Labor Party Leader Kim Beazley, he said Australians want alliance, not compliance, and quoted a recent book on Australian defence policy: "reliance then abandonment".
Referring to Brexit, he said "don't write the country off. There are trade opportunities in the context of Brexit, and I believe Australia will sign a free trade agreement with Britain … why not take the opportunity? You hold all the cards."
This year's edition of the annual Rentrée Dinner brought together over 70 guests, including annual corporate sponsor Commonwealth Bank of Australia, represented by François Heritier, Simon Brown and Lachlan Evans who travelled from London for the occasion.
Event sponsor and Corporate member, Transdev, was represented by Anne de Bagneux, Group Director for Strategy and Transformation. Mr Tabary warmly thanked Transdev for its support of ABIE and for making the wonderful evening possible, welcoming her to her first-ever ABIE event.
Colleagues from other ABIE organisations in Europe also attended, including Sabine Pittrof of the German Australian Business Council and 2019 Chair of the international network of Australian business associations, and Richard York from ABIE Czech.
ABIE France was delighted to welcome members of the Queensland delegation visiting France, including Milton Dick MP, Federal Member for Oxley, and Warren Bartlett, Deputy Trade and Investment Commissioner.

The Indianapolis Colts (8-4) will take on the Las Vegas Raiders (7-5) Sunday afternoon in a huge AFC matchup. Kickoff will be at 4:05 p.m. ET at Allegiant Stadium. To prepare you for this game, here are five prop bet predictions for the Colts you can make at BetMGM.
Also see: Colts at Raiders odds, picks and prediction
Indianapolis Colts Week 14 prop bet predictions
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports' betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 10:05 a.m. ET.
RB Jonathan Taylor OVER 53.5 rushing yards (-105)
After putting together back-to-back games with at least 90 rushing yards, Taylor is starting to look like the player we saw at Wisconsin. He faces a Raiders' defense that allowed over 200 yards rushing to the New York Jets last week. Look for Taylor to see double-digit carries in this game and to easily eclipse 53.5 yards on the ground.
WR T.Y Hilton OVER 54.5 receiving yards (-112)
Hilton had his first breakout game of the 2020 season in Week 13, catching eight passes for 110 yards and one touchdown. For whatever reason, he loves facing the Houston Texans defense.
This week, he will face a beat-up Raiders defense that will be missing CB Damon Arnette. Look for Hilton to see double-digit targets again in Week 14 and clear 54.5 receiving yards.

Special Indiana Betting Promotion: Bet $1 on the Indianapolis Colts money line, WIN an additional $100 (in free bets) if PK Rodrigo Blankenship scores a single point in this week's matchup. Place your legal, online sports wagers in Indiana at BetMGM. Bet now!
PK Rodrigo Blankenship OVER 2.5 made extra points (-120)
One of my favorite prop bets each week is betting on kickers to go over on extra points made. I don't know why it's so thrilling, but it is. Look for the Colts to score at least 3 touchdowns in this game and for Blankenship to connect on every kick.
Colts OVER 29.5 points (+130)
Both teams are going to want to run the ball in this game, but look for the Colts to have a ton of success against this lackluster Raiders defense. If QB Philip Rivers can get hot in the passing game, look for the Colts to score into the mid-30s. This should turn into a shootout in Las Vegas.
Taylor to score multiple touchdowns (+500)
As previously mentioned, Taylor has played well in his last two games. Could this be the game he finally breaks out in a big way? Look for the Colts to give him multiple opportunities in the red zone and for the former Wisconsin star to break a few long runs, as well.

MEXICO CITY — Lauri Markkanen's role in urging Bulls players to show up for a scheduled practice Sunday after some initial talk of a boycott already has been reported.
For the first time, Markkanen addressed his thinking, which led to two hours of team meetings to hash out an emotional first week under new coach Jim Boylen.
"I wanted to have my opinion and let players know what I think," Markkanen told the Tribune on Wednesday. "I think I can be one of the leaders of the team. That's what I suggested. That's how it went."
Not all players were on the initial group text exchange. Multiple sources said Markkanen was and that his voice resonated immediately. Later, when the text exchange spread to the entire team, Robin Lopez also urged attendance.
"I thought that was a more professional way to go about it," Markkanen said. "I thought about other members of the staff. Like, they show up to work. Obviously, this isn't the main point, but some of the staff lives an hour away and they come to work.
"I try to think how disrespectful that is to tell them that we wouldn't show up."
Asked how he felt about some teammates suggesting the idea, Markkanen paused.
"It was definitely new for me," he said. "It is what it is. It was an idea. We started talking and got it figured out as a team. We have to stick together. Obviously, we had a rough week. We all need to work together. And I think we will."
Zach LaVine said talk of the potential boycott "got blown out of proportion." LaVine, who was visibly frustrated after Saturday's franchise-record 56-point loss to the Celtics, was a vocal leader in the meeting Sunday. He also met with Boylen individually.
"We wanted to speak real with each other," LaVine said. "We resolved some things, found eye-to-eye things."
"It wasn't about practice or the game. It was the collective emotions of afterwards and how we lost and just the whole week. Me and Jim are on the same page. The team is on the same page. I think us moving forward is going to be a really good thing."

Before and after: Tony Steenson
Before and after: Tony Steenson
My name is Tony Steenson. I am a thirty seven year old bricklayer who is happily married and has two teenage children.
Life is great, my relationships are getting stronger all the time, I love going to work and it really is a pleasure to be alive.
This wasn't always the case though.
For many years I relied on drugs to get me through the day and to keep me going. What started out as a teenager wanting to rebel, not just against my parents but the world, turned into a man who basically gave up on life. It may have appeared that I was doing alright because I was never without work and always had a home to go to etc.
The reality was I was struggling with the pressures of life, but would not dare admit this to anyone as I was a man and I could handle it.
So my twenties were mainly spent in one long cycle of partying three, four & sometimes more days a week. I was working nearly every day as my party life wasn't cheap. This lifestyle was very draining on a physical and emotional level. I reached thirty and felt old, exhausted and basically worn out.
There needed to be a change in my life.
Universal Medicine was introduced to me around this time and what was being presented to me made sense. The Way of The Livingness is common sense, treat your body with love and respect and when you don't do that ask yourself why. There is a lot more being presented but if you deeply care for yourself, miracles can happen as what has happened to me.

I rescued this guy from our patio this morning. Size of a large earthworm. No rattle on the end so I didn't have to worry about gloving up to throw him into the bushes. Even the larger ones don't bother me to touch. Apparently I bailed up my Mum with a bucket of earthworms when I was a toddler, so I was perhaps born without an aversion to the slimy critters.
Probably a Sharp Tailed snake.

At the encouragement of others in my church and Friday morning men's group, I've started reading the "One Year Bible." Rather than purchase this Bible version in paper form, however, I've started reading it for free on the YouVersion Bible iPad app. It is free and not only tracks your reading, but also lets you save notes. You can make these notes public to share or keep them private. You can also read notes others have shared publicly, which is a very interesting and potentially valuable way to socially interact as well as reflect when reading.
I started this a few days late after the new year, but thankfully the app lets you catch up. Just read ahead, and then in your reading plan select "catch me up."
Since I read the first three days of verses today and chose "catch me up" twice, I'm on the right schedule to finish by December 31st. You will need to create a free account on the app, or directly on the YouVersion website, which you use to login on the app and track your Bible reading. I've completed a couple of shorter reading plans previously using this system. I have never read through the entire Bible in a year, however, so this will be a first for me. My wife has talked about doing this too, and I'm going to encourage her so we can share in our discussions and learning throughout the year. Consider reading the Bible this year with this great plan! Another alternative is the website www.oneyearbibleonline.com. I really prefer the option to read on my mobile devices, however. YouVersion syncs whether you read on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

Georgetown Police arrest man for attempted theft and criminal impersonation after he dressed as a Wal-Mart employee and attempted to take electronics, according to Georgetown Police Spokesman Joseph .Melvin.
Melvin said at approximately 3:30 p.m. on May 25, 2017, officers were dispatched to the Georgetown Wal-Mart for an attempted theft complaint. Officers learned that a Wal-Mart employee, upon entering a rear storage room, viewed a subject wearing a Wal-Mart vest who was attempting to remove two televisions.
The employee, recognizing the subject wasn't an employee of the store, contacted other store personnel, said Nelson. When contacted by other Wal-Mart personnel, the suspect fled the store on foot and then in a vehicle, according to Melvin.
Officers utilized store video footage to identify the suspects' vehicle. Further investigation revealed the identity of the operator who had been driving the suspect vehicle on May 25, 2017. On May 29,2017, officers responded to a residence in Georgetown where they located the suspect, hiding underneath a mattress in the attic, according to Nelson. The suspect was taken into custody by officers without incident.
26-year-old Chaz Huntington, of Georgetown, Delaware was arrested for two counts of attempted theft under $1500 and one count of criminal impersonation. Huntington was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court #3 and committed to Sussex Correctional Institution in lieu of secured bond.
