United States District Court, D. Vermont
March 5, 2015
Andre Levesque, Plaintiff,v.John and Jane Does of the U.S. Attorneys Office/Justice Department, Eugenia A.P. Cowles, and John and Jane Does of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Defendants.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION (Doc. 1)
JOHN M. CONROY, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Andre R. Levesque, appearing pro se, brings this civil rights action against unnamed employees ("John and Jane Does") of the United States Attorneys Office (alternately referred to as the United States Department of Justice or "DOJ") and the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), and Eugenia A.P. Cowles, Assistant United States Attorney. (Doc. 1.) Now pending is Mr. Levesque's Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis ("IFP Motion"). (Doc. 1.)
Factual and Procedural Background
Mr. Levesque filed the instant IFP Motion and Proposed Complaint (Doc. 1-2) on January 27, 2015, alleging that Ms. Cowles and unnamed DOJ and FBI officials improperly harassed and attempted to coerce Mr. Levesque by prosecuting him in a criminal matter now pending before this Court (Doc. 1-2 at 1-2.) A review of the docket indicates that Mr. Levesque has been in federal custody on pre-trial detention since May 6, 2014, when this Court ordered that he be held on charges of stalking in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2261A(2). See United States v. Levesque, No. 2:14-cr-00062-wks (D. Vt. May 6, 2014), ECF No. 9. Mr. Levesque was committed to the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons for an evaluation of his competency to stand trial pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §4241(a). A psychological report was prepared at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York, N.Y. and that report was filed with the court. See id., No. 2:14-cr-00062-wks (D. Vt. Aug. 4, 2014), ECF No. 19. On August 4, 2014, a hearing was held on the psychological report and United States District Judge William K. Sessions III issued an order committing Mr. Levesque to the custody of the Attorney General pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 4241(d) for additional observation and treatment upon a finding that Mr. Levesque was not competent to stand trial. See id., No. 2:14-cr-00062-wks (D. Vt. Aug. 4, 2014), ECF No. 21. Mr. Levesque is currently housed at the Federal Medical Center maintained by the Bureau of Prisons in Springfield, Missouri.
In his proposed civil complaint, Mr. Levesque alleges that he is "being prosecuted for calling the police station" and for calling "a mental health worker who participated in trying to coerce and intimidate" Mr. Levesque. (Doc. 1-2 at 2.) Mr. Levesque also alleges that the competency evaluation was "performed during 460 hours of continuous intense bright light, " causing irreparable harm, post-traumatic stress, and pain and suffering (Doc. 1-2 at 3.) As relief Levesque seeks "100 million British pounds sterling". Id.
Section 1915(a) requires a prisoner seeking leave to proceed in forma pauperis to submit "an affidavit that includes a statement of all assets such prisoner possesses" in order to determine whether the prisoner is "unable to pay." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Additionally, a prisoner must "submit a certified copy of the trust fund account statement (or institutional equivalent) for the prisoner for the 6-month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint... obtained from the appropriate official of each prison which the prisoner is or was confined." 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). Mr. Levesque filed an affidavit which appears to make the requisite showing, but he has not provided a certified copy of any applicable prisoner trust fund account statements. Mr. Levesque seeks to avoid this obligation by including the phrase "refused to comply" across the space for certification. There is no indication who engaged in this refusal. The court need not accept such a vague and conclusory statement. Accordingly, Mr. Levesque's application is insufficient on this ground alone.
Additionally, because Mr. Levesque is a prisoner, his Proposed Complaint is subject to the "three strikes" provision of 28 U.S.C. § 1915, which bars prisoners from proceeding in forma pauperis under the following circumstances:
In no event shall a prisoner bring a civil action... if the prisoner has, on 3 or more prior occasions, while incarcerated or detained in any facility, brought an action or appeal in a court of the United States that was dismissed on the grounds that it is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, unless the prisoner is under imminent danger of serious physical injury.
28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). A prisoner who has accumulated three strikes is not barred from bringing suit in federal court, but must pay the standard filing fee and effect service without the Court's assistance. See Pettus v. Morgenthau, 554 F.3d 293, 297 (2d Cir. 2009) ("Once three of an indigent prisoner's lawsuits have been dismissed... the prisoner must pay the standard filing fee if he wishes to file additional lawsuits."). A prisoner is defined as "any person incarcerated or detained in any facility who is accused of... violations of criminal law[.]" 28 U.S.C. § 1915(h). Mr. Levesque is a "prisoner" under the statute, because he remains in pre-trial detention on criminal charges in Docket No. 2:14-cr-00062-wks. On September 16, 2014, an Opinion and Order was issued in a different civil matter filed in this district by Mr. Levesque, which concluded that Mr. Levesque has at least five strikes for purposes of §1915(g) review. See Levesque v. John and Jane Does, No. 2:14-cv-00188-jgm-jmc (D. Vt. Sept. 16, 2014), ECF No. 7.[1]
Therefore, because Mr. Levesque is a prisoner who has more than three strikes under § 1915(g), the remaining issue before the Court is whether Mr. Levesque's claims are entitled to the statute's "imminent danger" exception. Where a plaintiff proceeds pro se, the complaint should be liberally construed and interpreted "to raise the strongest arguments [it] suggest[s]." Harris v. City of N.Y., 607 F.3d 18, 24 (2d Cir. 2010) (internal quotation marks omitted). An "imminent danger" only exists if it is present at the time of filing the complaint. Malik v. McGinnis, 239 F.3d 559, 562-63 (2d Cir. 2002). The Court also must evaluate "(1) whether the imminent danger of serious physical injury that a three-strikes litigant alleges is fairly traceable to unlawful conduct asserted in the complaint and (2) whether a favorable judicial outcome would redress that injury." Pettus, 554 F.3d at 298.
Here, the Proposed Complaint challenges the basis of his pending criminal prosecution and the manner in which the evaluation deeming him incompetent to stand trial was performed. The imminent danger exception does not apply where "claims of imminent danger are conclusory or ridiculous." Chavis v. Chappius, 618 F.3d 162, 170 (2d Cir. 2010) ( citing Ciarpaglini v. Saini, 352 F.3d 328, 331 (7th Cir. 2003)). Even construing these allegations liberally, the Court cannot conclude that the Proposed Complaint meets the "imminent danger" threshold necessary to overcome § 1915(g)'s three-strikes provision. Mr. Levesque was not located at the facility described in his Proposed Complaint at the time of filing, and thus, cannot allege a present, "imminent" harm. Furthermore, to the extent Mr. Levesque seeks monetary damages challenging the basis of his arrest or alleging malicious prosecution, such matters are premature while Mr. Levesque's underlying criminal matter remains pending. See Johnson v. New York City Police Dept., No. 01 Civ. 6570 (RCC)(JCF), 2003 WL 21664882 (S.D.N.Y. July 16, 2003) (staying § 1983 action alleging Fourth Amendment violations, false arrest, and malicious prosecution where criminal matter still pending).
Accordingly, because Mr. Levesque has neither completed the required financial affidavit, nor alleged facts suggesting that he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury, I recommend that Mr. Levesque's IFP Motion be DENIED and that the case be DISMISSED if Mr. Levesque does not pay the required filing fee of $400 within thirty (30) days.
The Second Circuit has held that district courts should not dismiss the claim of a self-represented party without granting leave to amend at least once "when a liberal reading of the complaint gives any indication that a valid claim might be stated." Thompson v. Carter, 284 F.3d 411, 419 (2d Cir. 2002); see also Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a)(2) ("the court should freely give leave [to amend] when justice so requires"). However, leave to amend the proposed Complaint is not required where it would be futile. See Cuoco v. Moritsugu, 222 F.3d 99, 112 (2d Cir. 2000) ("The problem with [plaintiff's] causes of action is substantive; better pleading will not cure it. Repleading would thus be futile. Such a futile request to replead should be denied."); see also Levesque v. State of New Hampshire, 2010 WL 2367346, at *44 ("It is clear, however, that Levesque's many lawsuits, containing repetitive claims against, in some cases, defendants who have already been sued and dismissed in this Court, approaches, if not reaches, the use of the federal district court in an abusive fashion."). In addition to the other defects already detailed herein, AUSA Cowles is entitled to absolute prosecutorial immunity for actions taken in the course of the criminal litigation. See Taylor v. Kavanaugh, 640 F.2d 450, 452 (2d Cir. 1981) (observing that under Imbler v. Pachtman, 424 U.S. 409, 431 (1976), prosecutors ...

PA Governor Not A Fan Of Big Ben Getting A Haircut
PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is facing the ire of Governor Tom Wolf after he got a haircut and beard trim.
Big Ben said he wouldn't cut his hair or shave his beard until he was able to throw an NFL-quality pass to his teammates.
In a video released Monday, Roethlisberger is seen throwing passes to JuJu Smith-Schuster, Ryan Switzer and James Conner.
Also in the video, the Steelers QB is seen getting a haircut and shave.
Barbershops in the Pittsburgh area are currently ordered closed due to the pandemic and will not be allowed to open until an area enters the green phase of the state's mitigation plan.
"My concern is just a general concern, anybody who puts himself or herself into harm's way is something that I think we ought to try to avoid and when you go to something like a barbershop and you're not protected, I don't care who you are, the chances of that virus actually wreaking havoc on your life increases."
"I don't personally think any Pennsylvanian ought to take that chance. I certainly don't want to take that chance myself," Wolf added.
Wolf was also asked if the state was investigating the barbershop and if they would face any disciplinary actions but did not respond to that part of the question.
Roethlisberger reportedly got his hair cut at Norman's Cut n Edge Barbershop in Sewickley.
The shop's website says they have been open since 1993 and the business is a one-man operation.
The website says the shop is currently closed and is not currently taking any public appointments.

Amazon's had the greatest success in the voice assistant race so far, surprising many – including Amazon, you'd imagine.
I have one in my kitchen, used for playing music, a couple of radio stations, the odd podcast (though I find the lack of controls frustrating) and asking the weather before I head out.
All very clever, but how is this of any use to Amazon? That's the question that Benedict Evans tackles here:
[W]e've had two statistics recently from Amazon about Alexa: that 100m units have been sold, and that Amazon has 10,000 people working on it. This is vastly more people than one would normally expect to get the device made and the software working, especially given that the Echos themselves are produced by contract manufacturers. Rather, this is about experimentation and iteration: "what can we do with this and how can we expand the use case?"
I don't know the answer to this, but looking forward to seeing Amazon trying to figure it out. There has to be a strategy beyond sticking Alexa in absolutely everything. Or maybe there isn't?

In July of 2019, NALS will celebrate our 90th anniversary.
NALS was founded in 1929 by Eula Mae Jett, a legal secretary who started the association to help out her friends in the legal support professional field do their jobs better.
Most of us know the history of NALS and some do not, you can find our history at NALS.org.
While the NALS Foundation Trustees were attending the NALS Foundation Retreat in Arlington, Texas earlier this year, we decided we wanted to foster our own sense of community and positivity. One way to forward our goal, we decided, was through volunteerism. Many of us participate in volunteer projects with our state and local chapters and individually, but we wanted to do something bigger. Our goal is to have the happiness and good feelings derived from being of service to others spread across the country.
To celebrate this pivotal NALS anniversary, the NALS Foundation has created the "Stand Beside Me. Do Your 90" campaign. We want to celebrate and give back to our communities.
We began brainstorming about how we could make an impact in Arlington to kick-off the campaign. We searched for local food banks, shelters, community centers, and anywhere that would accept our group volunteers to lend a hand. It was a struggle to find a place at the last minute, but the opportunity for us to volunteer at Mission Arlington appeared. We called and made the arrangements the day before, and we made plans to show up early the next morning. When we arrived, we met with the 90-year-old Mission Director, Tilly. She told us how grateful she and the rest of the volunteers were to have us there to help, and shared that 90 cents of every dollar raised by Mission Arlington goes directly back into the community. All references to 90 led us to believe that we were in the right place. We spent 90 minutes folding newsletters and stuffing envelopes. We did this enthusiastically as we talked with other volunteers of all ages. We met women, men, students, and other volunteers from the Arlington area. Some were there because they had been helped by Mission Arlington. Some were there because they simply believe in Mission Arlington's mission and vision. Others were there, like us, to give back to their community. We left the mission happy, energetic, and enthusiastic about what lay ahead for us for the remainder of the retreat.
Our challenge to each of you is to Stand Beside Me and Do Your 90. We are encouraging everyone to take 90 minutes of your time to volunteer, either individually or as a group. There are so many organizations where you can donate your time and energy. We know this is a little unusual since the NALS Foundation is typically asking for your donations. We believe that this campaign will allow everyone to participate because everyone has the same 525,600 minutes in their year bank to spend. By giving 90 minutes to an organization in your community, you will make a difference. You will feel good, and your sense of community will expand. All we ask is that when you do your 90 minutes of service, you post on the NALS Foundation page using the hashtag #StandBesideMeDoYour90 so we can spread the positivity.
Thank you all so much for your continued participation with NALS and the NALS Foundation! We are excited about this campaign, and we look forward to celebrating NALS 90th Anniversary by giving back.
Make sure you have liked the NALS Foundation Facebook page (Facebook.com/NALSFoundation), and that you stay tuned for more information about the NALS Foundation's other plans to celebrate the NALS 90th Anniversary.
NALS 90th Anniversary is something special, so special, in fact, that the NALS Foundation is stepping up our sweepstakes game! Winning sweepstakes prizes at the NALS Foundation Sweepstakes drawing while raising money for the NALS Foundation (a non-profit 501(c)(3) entity) is a highlight of the conference experience. The excitement of buying your tickets for a chance to win gift cards, cash, and luxury items is incomparable. Knowing that when you place your ticket in the bag, you may have the chance to win an item that you may not otherwise purchase for yourself is exhilarating. Hearing your name called for the prize that you have your heart set on is scream-inducing! The room explodes with cheers as the winners run to fetch their prizes, hoping that they will be next. The Sweepstakes drawing is energy inducing fun! Then, how, you may ask, could the NALS Foundation make the Sweepstakes even more exciting?
Would you be more likely to spend more money at the NALS Foundation Sweepstakes, and thus receive a higher tax-deductible donation receipt, if you knew that you could win an item worth at least $90? That's right friends! We are increasing the prize value for the NALS Foundation Sweepstakes items! The NALS Foundation is seeking donations with a retail value of at least $90 to celebrate the NALS 90th Anniversary! Our hope is to increase the value proposition for ticket purchasers to raise even more money to support the NALS Foundation programs! That means that for each ticket purchased, the buyer will have a chance to win a prize valued at $90. The more tickets you buy ($90 worth, perhaps?) the more chances you have to win at least one $90 item.
Does that mean that I cannot donate my smaller item? No. In fact, we encourage you to work with friends, family, law firms, employers, vendors, suppliers, local chapters, and state associations to put together a bundle valued at no less than $90. If you and three other people pool your resources, you each only have to donate an item valued at $22.50 to meet the $90 minimum. You can also solicit donations from anyone you know or do business with. You can reach out to your local communities to make donations to support the NALS Foundation.
Jewelry, watches, electronics, cash, gift cards, gift certificates, purchased items, and hand-crafted wares are all accepted. You may ask, do I actually have to spend $90 to donate a $90 item? No. One thing that many who regularly donate to the NALS Foundation Sweepstakes do is visit an outlet mall. You can obtain valuable items from stores like Coach, Michael Kors, Fossil, Gap, Guess, Kate Spade, Merrell, Ralph Lauren, Quicksilver, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sketchers, Tommy Hilfiger, Vera Bradley, and more at a discount. The retail value of an item may be $90 or over, but you may be able to purchase the item at an outlet for less and donate it to the NALS Foundation Sweepstakes. You may also consider hand-making items to donate. Your time and talents have value. Consider what the items you make would cost someone to purchase in a store and then bundle a sampling of items together to reach $90, or team up with another creator to reach the $90 minimum.
Once you have an item or items you would like to donate to the NALS Foundation, here's how you can. Click here to visit the online submission form. Log in to NALS.org then, submit an In-Kind Donation Form (available at the bottom of the linked page). Package your item(s) and mail via the postal service of your choosing (i.e., USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc.) to the following address: Orr Willhite, PLC, c/o Mimi Mangrum Jackson, 601 Southwest Drive, Jonesboro, AR 72401. Donors who prefer to hand-carry donated items to the NALS Conference must also fill out the In-Kind Donation Form but may deliver the items to any NALS Foundation Trustee at the conference. Please note that all donated items will be used for NALS Foundation fundraising purposes. This means that your donation may be allocated to special fundraising projects, bundled with other items, and/or not necessarily be included in the Sweepstakes. We appreciate all donations and look forward to celebrating NALS 90th Anniversary with all of you! Thank you for your continued support!

MaaT Pharma announced on 4/9/19 that the independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) recommended the continuation, without amendment, of the ongoing Phase II HERACLES study (NCT03359980). The HERACLES trial inverstigates the use of lead biotherapeutic MaaT013 in steroid-resistant, gastrointestinal-predominant, acute Graft-versus-Host-Disease (SR GI aGvHD) after allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation (allo-HSCT). The second review assessed the safety of MaaT013 after 10 patients treated, reinforcing the absence of safety issues during the trial as confirmed after the first review. Enrollment of patients in the trial continues as planned with additional sites recently opened in Germany and Italy. As of today a total of 13 patients have been treated in the protocol.
"The high mortality rate of up to 80% after 6 months in gastrointestinal-predominant aGvHD poses a significant unmet medical need and we believe that MaaT013 will improve these patients' outcomes through a differentiated approach of restoring their immune homeostasis,"
"The relevance of the microbiome in hemato-oncological diseases is increasingly recognized by the medical community and our mission is to develop the first, safe microbiome-based product to help patients with no other options. We look forward to communicating the top-line data of this trial later this year."
commented Hervé AffagardCo-founder and CEO of MaaT Pharma.
MaaT013 is the first full-ecosystem, off-the-shelf, reproducible, enema formulation manufactured using MaaT Pharma's integrated Microbiome Restoration Biotherapeutic (MMRB) platform. The product has a stability of up to 24 months and is characterized by a high diversity and consistent richness of microbial species derived from pooled healthy donors and manufactured at the company's centralized European cGMP production facility. MaaT013 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and is already being administered in compassionate use.

Use this window to record all current and historical salary changes for the selected employee. The employee's current salary is defined as being Active and will normally have no end date assigned.
If your organisation uses salary grades and scales, the record data in this window is typically created automatically by the Salary Grades wizard (for one selected employee) or by using HR Record > Employment > Apply Grade, or Personnel > Utilities > Apply Grade Changes, or Payroll > Functions > Apply Grade Changes.
If your organisation does not use grades and scales, or if you want to change the salary for employees whose salaries are not based on grades and scales, you can use HR Record > Employment > Enter Salary or Personnel > Utilities > Apply Manual Salary or Payroll > Functions > Apply Manual Salary to enter a new salary for one employee, or you can use Payroll > Functions > Global Salary Import to enter salaries for multiple employees.
You can also enter data directly by using New and Edit under Maintenance on the Salary History window. Only users with administration access can do this. This means, in the setup details for the user, the Access field on the User Maintenance window must be set to Administrator. For information about setting up users, refer to Set up new users and maintain existing users.
For an overview of salary history and employment history, refer to Employment history and salary history records: overview.
Editing a Salary History record
The employee's current salary must have a status of Active. All other records should have a status of Historical. A status of Payroll Active applies only when the Payroll module is not being used, but feeds another payroll application instead. If the status is being amended, a drop-down list is provided to aid selection.
Enter the From date when the salary was effective. Care should be taken that there is continuity between the end date of one salary record and the start date of the next, as gaps in the dates may affect the employee's salary if date-effective processing is in use. For the current (active) salary, there should be no To date. Historical records should always have a To date.
The Salary Grade and Scale Point may be entered. A drop-down list is provided to aid selection. The employee's Value or salary may be entered.
Enter the Review Date Used to calculate this salary and the Scale Point Value. The WTE(Whole Time Equivalent) that was used to calculate the salary may be entered. The Hours Per Week, Weeks Per Year and Factor that the employee is working for the organisation should be entered. Any Allowances for the employee should be entered.
A Reason of why the employee has received a change of salary may be entered. The employee's Employment Record which holds the details which were used to create this salary history record is displayed.
The User, Date and Time fields audit the changes made to this salary history record.

Anyway, onto the guide!
The strongest lane match-ups competitively that include Soraka would be (in no particular order):
These champions are strong with Soraka because the majority of their harass and their ability to maximize farm comes from abilities (excluding Tristana, who can farm perfectly well without abilities). With Soraka, these champions can endlessly throw out the hurt on your opponents, forcing them to either get denied from being so low and not wanting to go out into the lane or to force them against the turret where it's very difficult for them to consistently last hit.
If the enemy team has very strong CC champions like Amumu and Alistar, you would be better picking Janna - someone who can push them out and stop their CC destroying your team. If they have strong, durable melee champions like Irelia, or very strong DPS champions like Vayne, you would be better picking Taric - as he gives an Armor buff to his team and has strong heals as well.
In games where you don't have a jungler, you should still try to lane with some AD champion who will benefit from your sustain the most. Laning with a melee champion like Renekton will not be a strong as a lane as laning as someone like Xin Zhao.
A longer list of strong match ups with Soraka can be found in the next chapter.
I will not mention AP champions because although any AP champion is good with Soraka there's no reason to put AP champions in a duo lane.
Ranged Carries:
- Soraka & Miss Fortune
- Soraka & Vayne
- Soraka & Kog'Maw (Helps him get through his weak early levels.)
- Soraka & Caitlyn ( Yordle Snap Trap + Soraka = full lane control.)
- Soraka & Tristana (Allows Tristana to dominate a duo lane with free farm.)
- Soraka & Ezreal
- Soraka & Ashe
AD Melee:
- Soraka & Pantheon (Unlimited Spear Shot harass.)
- Soraka & Xin Zhao (Allows him to spam his combo as harass.)
- Soraka & Jax
- Soraka & Maokai ( Sapling Toss mass farm and harass/deny.)
- Soraka & Nasus (For the sole reason of allowing him to constantly keep mana up for mass Siphoning Strike farm, nothing else.)
Even though I've listed all these, I still feel that Soraka is best in a duo lane with a ranged carry, however if you do need to duo lane with an AD melee champion or someone else, those are strong laners with Soraka.
I didn't mention champions with good self sustain like Gangplank and Irelia or champions with good lane mobility like Corki and Renekton because they would be good with any support, but they are better solo laning because of those features they have. Additionally, a lot of the champions above would be strong with other supports like Taric and Janna however these champions benefit a lot from Infuse and Astral Blessing's armor buff while they harass.
Note: I have not included kills in this as it's completely situation as to if it is first blood, killing someone on a streak, if they have a buff, if they have baron, if they are doing baron or dragon, etc.
Additional: This section is based off The Rain Man's blog post on SoloMid, however I felt that it basically explained what I'd write here so I adjusted it slightly to suit my personal opinion.
The most rewarding objectives are the Inhibitors. If you destroy an inhibitor, this pushes a lane constantly with super minions. While this is happening, your team must secure all the lower objectives, otherwise you have given a lane free gold farming without any risk. However, it makes it extremely easier to do it, and puts more pressure on the enemy trying to stop you as minions will damage nexus turrets if they leave, and kill minion waves causing other lanes to push naturally.
The next important objective is Baron. Killing Baron gives your entire team 300 gold each and gives the entire team a buff that will give you an edge over the enemy team. If you are over-farmed, this buff can mean an easy team-fight. If you're under-farmed and losing the game, this can lead to you making a comeback in the game.
Towers are our next important objective. Although there are higher objectives, these will be your main objective as these are what lead to the other objectives being able to be completed by lowering the risk involved. Taking a tower gives you global gold and more map control. The less vision their team has, and the more vision you have, the easier it becomes to take the above objectives. Pushing towers also mean that it becomes easier to push other lanes as more pressure is applied onto those lanes.
The lower objectives are Dragon and Monster Buffs. Dragon provides more global gold than a tower, however doing dragon does not give you an advantage in map control. It is also risky to do it depending on if the enemy has it warded, how pushed bottom and middle lane are and how far into the game it is. The earlier you do dragon, the riskier it is. You should not fight over dragon under any circumstance - if you have a risk of getting ganked or if you see people leave lanes, leave dragon immediately. Only do it when you're 100% sure you won't lose a turret and you have no risk of dying during it.
Monster Buffs can mean the difference between losing and winning a lane or team-fight. However, there is not much risk involved in taking them early on. As the game goes on, buffs become more important, especially if you hold map control and can take the enemies buffs from them. The more buffs your team has, especially your carries, the more advantage you have in a team-fight. Because the risk of fighting over them is low, they are a lower priority objective as you can ecure them as long as you have map control.
Knowing the important of these objectives helps you prioritize your warding and helps increase your general understanding of the game.
In this example, it is following a standard team composition of 1 AP Carry, 1 AD Ranged, 1 Tanking champion, 1 Jungler and 1 Support.
Note: I say damage potential just because for the sake of argument, they only get the one damage item to avoid confusion.
The problem rises because one of these champions will have to share a lane with Support - a champion who isn't heavily item reliant and can do a lot for their team with their skills alone. If this champion starts taking gold from their lane partner, you're delaying the items this champion needs in order to be effective. If you take 1000 golds worth of minions during the first 15 minutes, that means you've delayed your lane partner 1000 golds worth of items - potentially 1000 gold that could have put your AP Carry their Rabadon's Deathcap, or put your AD carry their Bloodthirster or Infinity Edge - delaying them down from reaching their high damage potential. What will you do with that 1000 gold? Probably put it towards wards or a GP/5 item, however you could have gotten them without effecting your teams farm because they are fairly cheap items.
Now let's say the enemy team has a carbon copy team composition, however their support does not take their lane partners farm, and their partner has 1000 gold more than your partner. This 1000 advantage puts them at having Rabadon's Deathcap or Infinity Edge/ Bloodthirster while your partner is still at Needlessly Large Rod/ B.F. Sword. Their damage potential is reached, and they have a massive advantage in lane, and completely out damage you and as a result push you back while they continue to farm. Your lane is now getting under-farmed because they got an earlier advantage.
Basically, supports are there in the lane to help their carries get through this early stage and maximize their farm without the risk of being in middle lane - solo top lane, where their early game squishiness puts a lot of pressure on themselves and as they are alone, makes it easier for their jungler to put even more pressure on them, making them become under-farmed as a result.
If you have a high cost item build, you'll end up fighting over your partner for farm, and in the end you both will screw up your builds and farm rate because you're both trying to get as much gold from lane phase.
So know your role, and don't take farm from someone who absolutely needs it!
My justification for taking dodge masteries over Strength of Spirit is simple - Minion Aggro and auto attacks in lane phase, and in lane game too. If you get a dodge activation, you have extra movement speed to help you get out of range faster. With Strength of Spirit, the Regen doesn't mean much as you can heal if needed and the Regen won't save you if you're getting hit for huge amounts late-game by their AD champions. Any chance you have at survival in the late game, take it.
Additionally, the regeneration from Strength of Spirit is weaker (with this build) than Regrowth Pendant at level 18 - if you desperately want the health Regen before you pick up Philosopher's Stone, then get Regrowth Pendant first.
I prefer to go for defensive style runes, however I run Magic Penetration marks purely for allowing me to deal more damage with Infuse early on - especially considering since that I don't lane with AP champions at all, I never level Starcall until teamfights roll around.
This rune page allows me to start with an extra 87HP right as the game starts - and it continuously goes up as the game progresses, allowing me to not appear as squishy! Additionally, the glyphs give me strong enough Mana Regen until I get higher levels of Infuse which will allow me to keep my lane partner's and my own Mana Bar close to full without any problems.
For when I feel like causing some annoyance with Infuse, the Magic Penetration marks allow me to do more damage. Although it's not much, every bit counts, and the stronger your harass is with your E early on the easier it becomes to zone them, or make them have a risk of trying to farm creeps.
If I start with Doran's Ring with this rune and mastery setup, I start the game with 613 HP with 15 AP and 9 Magic Penetration. I become difficult to kill as I start in lane and I throw out decent damage harass with Infuse as I start the game. High level 1 defensive stats allow you to become dominant instantly.
For Level 1 Teamfighting you will need to take Infuse no matter what. Defensively, this allows you to stop the enemy initiator using their summoners to get your team killed (for example, Alistar initiating a level 1 fight with Flash and Pulverize). Offensively, this allows you to silence someone and then lets your initiator catch that player as they cannot use their summoners or skills to escape (i.e stopping Tristana using Rocket Jump to escape). A successful Infuse will either save a teammates life or net you first blood, depending on the situation.
For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of level 1 fighting, it's when you initiate a teamfight in the jungle in an attempt to protect your buffs, setup for stealing their buffs or to net your team an early first blood advantage. Getting first blood before minion wave comes allows someone to come with Boots of Speed to lane or helps your jungler get even closer to Madred's Razors or their first item. However, if you attempt to do these type of fights, you need to completely assess the enemy team composition, their summoners and their position on the map, which is what we use Clairvoyance for early on in the game.
I don't usually level Starcall at all until the later levels, however if you feel you need to deal a lot extra harass to the enemy or if you magically are laning with an AP user, feel free to invest a point in Starcall early. Early Starcall also allows you to see if any wards are present in brush or around dragon without needing to oracles / vision ward.
Soraka has no escape mechanism in her character, so as a result you must take flash on her. Flash means she can escape from team-fights, from ganks in lane and can use flash to save her team mates as well, for example, getting in range to use Astral Blessing.
As Soraka is a support champion, we take Clairvoyance so we can have vision of a specific part of the map early on in the game every 42.5 seconds. This spell is used to control objectives outside of wards, keeping vision on their jungler/buffs and for lane control/safety.
I choose Flash and Clairvoyance because they are both must have summoner spells on Soraka. Not only are these summoners must haves but the other summoner spells just have no synergy with Soraka well, let alone majority of supports.
I would not recommend taking Ghost as a replacement for Flash as you need that instant blink in the majority of situations for escaping. Ghost can be good if you're running through lane to escape, but Flash is stronger for blinking over walls, causing them to use their jump/blink skills to get to you or them using their summoners.
Note: In normal games, it's perfectly fine to just start off with a Doran's Ring.
In competitive play, you want to take the early Faerie Charm with Sight Ward's so that you have wards as you start the game, allowing you to ward where appropriate for a level 1 team-fight or laying down a ward in your river brush to make sure the enemy jungler will not try to invade yours, while giving your jungler sight to make sure if he is going to be invading, he is safe to do so.
As you leave base with 75 gold, that puts you 75 gold closer towards your Philosopher's Stone, meaning you can get it as quick as possible while gaining lane control / safety while also starting your map control as the game begins.
The two gold generation items, Philosopher's Stone and Heart of Gold, are important to get as Soraka as you should not be farming minions. With those two items, your gold income is dramatically faster, gaining an extra 1 gold per second. This helps you get the rest of your items and helps pay for the wards and oracles you will be buying for your team.
Note: You want to finish these two items before you progress with the build. However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't buy wards until you finish these items.
Ionian Boots
Standard boots for Soraka. These boots give her a lot of early CDR and will let you hit 21% CDR from the 700 gold upgrade. These are the only boots that add stats other than move speed that I would buy. The only other stated boots I would consider would be Ninja Tabi but that is only if they have 3+ Auto Attackers on their team.
Mobility Boots
Only take these if you need to dodge a lot of skill-shots that they throw pre-fight and if you are going to need to be running around the map (Split push / Push heavy team). I wouldn't recommend these but they have their uses. Taking these boots means you need to build Morello's Evil Tome as your 4th - 5th item to hit the CDR Cap.
After you upgrade your boots, you are going to want to buy your Kindlegem. This gives you additional health while giving you even more CDR - putting you even closer to your cap. Your items should be this before you continue with any part of the build, however, if you need some resistances before you get Kindlegem, buy Cloth Armor and Null Magic Mantle as these turn into your Aegis of the Legion anyway.
Note: My games usually end after I finish these items.
You will want to start buying your Aegis of the Legion after you buy your Kindlegem. Prioritizing Aegis of the Legion over Shurelya's Reverie allows you to keep the Philosopher's Stone for a longer period of time, generating more gold. Once you get Aegis of the Legion complete, you're going to be doing a lot for your team. Outside of your healing, Magic Resistance debuff and Silence / Mana replenishment, you will provide resistances to your entire team, as well as a small damage boost. This means you're able to do something for your team when your skills are on cooldown, making you an even stronger asset to your team which helps make up for having one less damage dealer on the team.
When you finish Shurelya's Reverie, you are able to give your team extreme mobility without any issues. As a result of this, it becomes easier to defend objectives or to get into position for objectives.
Note: As I need the last item slot for wards, I use the remaining 2 items to buff my defenses if the game lasts this long. However, if you do NOT need the defensive items as much because they never really hurt you or pick you off, feel free to consider AP choices. I like AP defensive items.
Randuin's Omen is THE perfect item if a game is dragging on and if they have a strong melee champion who can zone you from the fight. Having Randuin's means that if they focus attacking you they will lower their DPS eventually, and with the Randuin's slow and Shurelya's Reverie's active, you can EASILY position yourself out of the persons way if needed. Randuin's Omen also allows Soraka to be in the team-fight to use Starcall if needed. Randuin's also let's you hit the 40% CDR cap.
Taking Banshee's Veil is to buff your Magic Resistance while giving you a spell shield so that if your team gets initiated on by a champion like Alistar or Amumu, you have a chance to stop that spell and keeps you CC free for the beginning of the team-fight.
As the game goes on, you've already paid off the gold debt from buying the GP/10 items in the first place. At this stage in the game, you want to upgrade your items so you can play a bigger role in securing objectives. You will be using all objective money for wards at this stage, so you won't be needing the GP/10.
Note: Replace Banshee's Veil with one of these items. If you buy one early early in the game, just make sure you do not buy Banshee's.
Quicksilver Sash is an item purely for stopping you getting suppressed and shut down for an entire team-fight. Take this item if they have Warwick completely focusing you with his ultimate or Malzahar able to grab you with his Nether Grasp.
Moonflair Spellblade is an item if you need tenacity and you want an item that scales well into late-game. Your Regen is fine with Shurelya's Reverie late-game, so you won't really need Eleisa's Miracle.
Zhonya's Hourglass is a great alternative to Randuin's Omen and amazing WITH it for the massive armor, however you're probably only going to want one as they conflict with each other. Zhonya's Active basically means you avoid damage and you want to use it while on cooldown, Randuin's Omen wants you to be attacked and have someone to use it on to make full use of the item. If you want Zhonya's, replace Randuin's with it.
Sight Ward is used to control the map, and protect your lane during lane phase. As a support, you should be buying these as it's part of your job to control the map and buy the wards so your team's carries are saving their gold for their items so they can carry the game.
Vision Ward is the same principle as Sight Ward, however it's focused around controlling objectives such as Dragon and Baron Nashor, allowing you to see wards in an area around that zone. Very good if you're not wanting to invest in Oracle's Elixir at that point in the game, and very good for seeing if they lay any wards at the objective without you being there, allowing you to take them out when you get there.
Oracle's Elixir is good so that you can destroy wards and other hidden objects. Each ward gives 25g when it is killed, meaning that if you kill 16 wards you have paid off your Oracle's from wards alone. Oracle's strengthens your map control by removing the enemies wards. You gain more vision on the map while they lose their vision. This is a key item to securing map control, and if you get it soon you can really throw off the enemies game, allowing you to take early Dragons without competition, and allows you to be able to put significant pressure on your lane.
Notice how all of these items at end game provide health, resistances and buffs in some form. These help you keep yourself alive while you devote your attention to your team mates. You are not squishy so late game enemies cannot just pick you off easily, and you provide a lot of support for your team so even while your abilities are on cooldown you are still a massive asset to the teamfight.
With your starting ward, laying a defensive ward outside the route that leads inside the starting camp of your jungler or outside one of your buff spawns allows you to prevent invasions and counter jungling.
This image shows the best, non-situational (i.e no lane brush wards) positions to place wards, assuming you are winning as the purple side. Mirror the positions if you are on the blue team or need defensive wards for purple.
Note: Don't try to cover all these spots at once - it's a waste of money. Just ward the most important areas depending on how the game is going.
Laying a ward ON baron when possible means that they cannot do baron. It is very difficult to kill that ward and if the enemy uses skills to take it out you can capitalise on that. Additionally, to hit the ward, they will need to hit Baron, making them take damage.
Laying wards in his "chamber" means they spend more time taking out the ward and it makes it completely obvious what position they are in.
Same reasoning as above, laying a ward in the "chamber" basically means they have to go inside to destroy it, making you more aware of their position. Early game, you can capitalize on this by catching their support trying to leave dragon and make them waste their escape spell.
Note: mid-late game, make sure you Clairvoyance objectives before you go to lay wards at them. If you get caught, you can cost your team the game or an important objective and set your team back!!
Additional: Click here for more graphical examples of ward placement.
Note: This paragraph assumes a level 1 teamfight has a chance of occuring.
As the game starts, you are going to want to use Clairvoyance on their fountain. What this does is if you open the scoreboard, you can see what items they are buying, and if they leave fountain while you have vision, you can estimate where they are going to be heading. If they delay their item buying because of clairvoyance, this gives your team more time to get into position - you cover more distance before they even leave their base, allowing you to have a strategic advantage early on.
If your jungler is starting at Golem, put a ward in the brush nearest to Baron or Dragon in the river (depending on what side you're on) which will give you vision of anyone trying to invade and gives you vision partially into their jungle. If he's starting anywhere else, you may still want to lay a ward in those brush but you may want to save your ward for a more aggressive or lane defensive ward, such as warding their lizard or their jungler's entrances to your lane.
If a level 1 teamfight occurs, you're going to want to infuse any champion that can use CC on your team or any champion who you're planning to kill so they can't escape.
When you get to lane, you're going to want to keep CV on places where their jungler could be - watching their camps and buffs. Depending on the jungler, even if you never see him with CV, you can tell what level he is and what he plans to do if you see the camps killed or buffs gone.
In lane, you want to sit in the brush auto attacking the enemy champions while keeping your lane partner supported. If your partner is full health / not out of mana, feel free to throw off some offensive infuses - this could potentially make them miss CS or make them push back a little bit. Showing your dominance in lane allows your lane partner to capitalize on their defensive play - by gaining farm advantage and landing off free harass.
The ward you have left over, you're going to want to place it in the river at 3:50 or any time after. This is to make sure their jungler will not be able to gank you, as at that time he will probably have finished his route or be ready to gank.
This image shows zone control, something you need to know in order to become dominant in lane. In this example, I am laning with Caitlyn vs Ashe and Janna.
The blue line shows your security ward. Because of the sight ward, all entrances to your lane are visible. The only way their jungler would be able to get to your lane is by going through your jungle, which is too risky to attempt. This allows you to be aggressive as you will know if anyone is coming. A ward at dragon also gives you more time to react to their jungler coming down.
The yellow line shows the point where the enemy have to be in order to be safe. This area is out of minion range and makes it very difficult for their carry to farm without being punished. If they go over this line, they are in range of Caitlyn's zone of control and your zone of control.
The white line shows your retreating route. If they CV brush or ward brush, you will move back into your brush in order to be completely safe, however you can still be aggressive. The white line is also where you'd go if Janna were to use Howling Gale on the brush to get you out of there. The more you force CV to be used on your lane, the more pressure your jungler will be able to apply across the map.
The orange circle is Caitlyn's zone of control and the green circle is Soraka's zone of control. This zone means if the enemy are in this area, they are at danger of being harassed. Because you secure lane dominance early, they have to stay back behind the yellow line otherwise they can be harassed out of lane. However, if they stay out of your zone for too long they will deny themselves of minion waves. This is a win win situation for you as i they try to farm, you will punish them. If they do not farm, they will punish themselves.
Following this image, as long as you keep control of your lane and keep vision on the river, you can be aggressive with minimal risk, allowing you to easily win your lane.
Note: Pushing your minions to their turret means you have a strategic advantage for taking dragon, while making it harder for the enemy to last hit. Do this when needed to maximize your lane control and make it even harder for them to do anything in your lane!
If they start laying wards around objectives, get your team to go there with you so you can take them out ASAP. Make sure you have oracles at this point of the game up 100% of the time.
In team-fights, prioritize your healing in this format:
You need to keep your carries alive so you can win team-fights. Healing them when they are taking damage also gives them a massive armor boost to reduce their AD damage. You should never really be in a position that you can be burst down by their team. Make sure you have flash up for important team-fights as if you get focused down your team is at a massive disadvantage while you have lost your Oracle's Elixir.
You will want to save Wish in team-fights until after their AP carry has used their AoE spells, however you will need to use it if you have someone close to dying and your team is damaged too. Infuse at this stage of the game should mainly be used offensively for the massive silence. If you can silence their AP carry, that's a lot of damage negated for a few seconds.
Additionally, if you can silence someone out of position, it makes it impossible for them to escape (depending on the champion). As a result, you can force a teamfight to start or they will have to sacrifice one player, which will make your teamfight much easier.
If you have any questions about the content, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try answer it to the best of my ability.
Hopefully, you now understand the benefits of Soraka on a team, the massive effect she has in team-fights and how well she can dominate the early stages of the game. I also hope that you understand what is expected at high level play, and now understand ways you can improve if you ever want to achieve that level of play.

Star (2001)
Genre Short film Director Guy Ritchie Cast Madonna, Clive Owen, Michael Beattie, Troy Aguayo
-----------------In an interview with Rolling Stone, Madonna gave a lengthy dissertation of her name's inception. "Everyone I know calls me M. Madge is a press thing in England. I heard two versions where it came from. One is that Madge is an English colloquialism, like a name that would suit a housewife, which is the opposite of who I am. The other is that it's short for majesty. I like that one better."
No one, of course, was surprised when she played a bratty, petulant pop royalty in Guy Ritchie's 10-minute short film for BMW, Star. "Coffee!" she shrieks. "I WANT MY COFFEE!"
She's in town for a red carpet engagement and she's running late. "If you keep your eyes on the road instead of on me, we might be getting somewhere," she sneers at her driver (Clive Owen). "I'm gracing this armpit of a town for one night. If you think I'm gonna know the name of the venue in El Arm-Pitto, you're sadly mistaken. Take me wherever!" she barks.
"Let me see what I can do... sir," says her driver.
"Get me out of here!" she screams.
"Madam," he replies, looking at her in the eye. "I'm going to give you the ride of your life."
He keeps his promise and gives her something she'll never forget. With Blur's "Song 2" playing in the background, their car swerves, overtakes other vehicles and zooms past the speed limit.
"You just hang on tight, sir!" he shouts, as he turns the BMW M5 near the sidewalk, sending his passenger slamming against the door. "We'll get you there safely, sir!"
Star is your typical Guy Ritchie movie: brash, funny and immensely entertaining. It's funny how Clive keeps calling Madge "sir" while she's being thrown sideways inside the M5. The look of glee in his face tells me that he's not acting nor pretending. I don't blame him. For some reason, it's comforting to see Madonna get mauled in the backseat of a BMW M5.

New Moon (2009)
There they are, running around shirtless in the woods. Don't werewolves get cold? What about pneumonia?
"One hundred eight degrees over here," says Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), pointing to his chest.
"My hands are freezing," Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) shivers. "Must be nice never getting cold."
"It's a wolf thing," Jacob answers.
In New Moon, last year's sequel to Twilight, the formerly lanky Jacob Black cuts his hair and beefs up.
"Hello biceps," Bella stares at Jacob.
It's been months since they last saw each other and Ms. Swan is quite taken by the gorgeous, newly rejuvenated lump of flesh she's seeing. Her "vegan" lover, the vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), dumped her on her 18th birthday. "This is the last time you'll see me," he said, then took off.
The breakup deeply affected Bella, pushing her to long bouts of emo moments. "You've disappeared like everything else," she wrote in her journal. "When you left, you took everything with you. It's like a huge hole has been punched through my chest."
That was before she saw Jacob's bulging pecs. These, of course, promptly made her change her mind. "He makes me feel better," she said, referring to her studly werewolf friend. "I mean, he makes me feel alive. The hole in my chest... well, when I'm with Jake it's like it's almost healed for a while."
When Bella's rendezvous with her motorcycle resulted in a near fatal road mishap, I started having migraine.
"Oh man, your head," Jacob says, promptly taking off his shirt to wipe her wound.
Bella blushed.
"You're sort of beautiful," she says.
Jacob smiles. "How hard did you hit your head?"
My thought exactly. How hard did Bella hit her head? I hope she didn't bump her head too hard. There are two more Twilight movies we have to watch.

Funny People (2009)
His film career started with Going Overboard (1989), a movie set in a cruise ship teeming with Panamanian mercenaries, Miss Universe contestants and arthritic, aging tourists. What followed is a long chain of ugly, undeniably horrible movies: Shakes the Clown (1991), Airheads (1994), and The Waterboy (1998).
Last year, Adam Sandler surprised everyone by doing Funny People, a movie unlike his previous works. Sandler plays George Simmons, an obnoxious, self-serving comedienne who — despite his life-threatening illness — still finds time to offend people.
"It's too early to know who's winning the fight," Dr. Lars declares. "The medicine or the disease."
George frowns. "Did anybody ever tell you, you have a very scary accent?"
"You are a very funny man," Lars smiles. "I enjoy your movies."
"And I enjoy all of your movies," George answers.
"Which movies?"
"The ones where you try to kill Bruce Willis."
Sandler shines in scenes like this and sucks in weepy, three-hankie sequences. Luckily, Funny People plays to Sandlers' strength.
Writer-director Judd Apatow allowed Sandler, Seth Rogen (Ira Wright) and Jonah Hill (Leo Koenig) to do stand-up comedy with an actual live audience. They improvised and kept the punchlines rolling till the audience fell on the floor, laughing their uterus (and kidneys) out.
"I masturbate with hand cream I forget people use it for shit other than masturbating," Ira declares.
The audience cheers.
Funny People isn't just about green jokes and snide one-liners ("It's not my fault your grandpa is playing backgammon with Hitler!" Leo shouts). It has quiet, tender moments too, like the supermarket scene and George's stand-up routine in the beginning.
"George Simmons will be gone," he reveals. "And he's not going to miss any of you. We've always had a strained relationship. You wanted too much from me, and I'm very mad at you."
It's disturbing how the line between reason and humor gets fuzzy in Funny People. Even though George is dead serious, the audience claps and laughs like there's no tomorrow.

Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Release Date 5 March 2010 (USA) Director Tim Burton Cast Mia Wasikowska (Alice Kingsley), Johnny Depp (The Mad Hatter), Helena Bonham Carter (The Red Queen), Anne Hathaway (The White Queen)
-----------------"Downal wyth Bluddy Behg Hid."
Loosely translated, that's "Down with the Red Queen."
In Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, a ragtag group of misfits revolts against The Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) who — since overthrowing The White Queen (Anne Hathaway) — has been ruling with an iron fist.
Alice returns to Wonderland 10 years after her first visit, reuniting with familiar faces.
"Alice, you're terribly late," the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) coos. "Naughty."
CGI and motion capture technology helped Tim Burton recreate Wonderland's curious environs. Twenty-year-old Australian actress Mia Wasikowska (Alice) found herself hobnobbing with characters both tangible (The Knave of Hearts played by actor Crispin Glover) and virtual (the March Hare, entirely computer generated).
As for the Mad Hatter and The Red Queen — two of the more memorable characters in Alice in Wonderland — Burton turns on the sympathy button, showing us the very things that make them human. The strange hue of the Mad Hatter's hair and eyes is attributed to mercury poisoning while The Red Queen's temper is said to be caused by a tumor growing in her head.
With Burton's penchance for wit and flair and the film's superb cast of supporting actors (Michael Sheen as the White Rabbit; Alan Rickman as Absolem, the Caterpillar; Christopher Lee as the Jabberwocky), Alice in Wonderland may just be this year's most promising movie.

On request of Swedish Gambling Authority
According to various media reports, the Swedish iOS App Store has temporarily removed a series of gambling apps at the request of Swedish gambling authority Lotteriinspektionen.
Lotteriinspektionen is believed to have requested Apple remove the gambling apps of at least 12 gaming firms earlier this year saying they "violated Apple's terms of use as those companies are not licensed to offer gambling services in Sweden".
Some 40 apps have been affected SVD.se reports with big names including Bet365 and Unibet.
"Just because you cannot download an app doesn't mean you cannot play," Peter Alling, director of community relations at Unibet told SVD emphasising that the withdrawal only affects new customers and does not affect gaming companies' other channels.

In "The Crucible" explain a couple reasons why John Proctor hesitates throughout the story.
It depends on what part of the play that you are referring to. In Act Two, he has information about the accusations that are occurring that could possibly expose the entire proceedings in the courts as erroneous. Abby, in act one, told John that Betty was not sick because she was bewitched; rather, "she took fright is all," because her dad caught them dancing in the woods. Abigail is one of the main accusers now, and Betty herself claims to have been bewitched, and has accused others of bewitching her. The information that John has exposes the girls as liars and frauds. Elizabeth want John to go to town and tell them this information, to try to set the accused women free.
John hesitates to do this for a couple reasons. The first is that when Abby told him this information, he was alone with her; so, he has no witnesses to what she said. And, he wonders,
"If the girl's a saint now I think it not easy to prove she's a fraud."
The town, at this point in the play, loves Abby and believes everything she says--she is hailed as a saint and savior to the town. If John walks in there and tries to prove she's a liar, based on something Abby said that no one else heard, it's going to be hard to prove. So, he hesitates for that reason. Another reason he might hesitate is one that Elizabeth refers to, that he was once very close to Abigail, and he doesn't want to hurt her or make her look bad. There may be lingering emotions.
Later in the play, John hesitates over the issue of whether to confess to witchcraft or not because he knows it would be a lie, but, he doesn't feel like he is a good enough man to die with integrity. He wants his life back, but doesn't want to live a lie either; however, he doesn't feel comfortable dying for virtue when he has been a sinner in his life. So that is why he hesitates at the end.
I hope that those thoughts help a bit; good luck!

HALIFAX - A Halifax jail with a history of violence is hoping a program that teaches inmates to train pound puppies will help soothe tensions at the facility.
Justice Minister Ross Landry announced Thursday the pilot program launched in December will be extended for a full year at the Central Nova Correctional Facility at a cost of $60,000.
Landry joined jail staff, a dog trainer and an inmate to praise the program, saying he has heard it has helped ease outbursts of anger among offenders while providing them opportunities to be contributing members of society.
"It's working," Landry said. "Offenders have described their participation in the program as life-changing. ... Staff at the facility tell us the program has helped reduce tension and has strengthened the relationship between staff and offenders."
He said a dozen inmates have helped prepare more than 70 puppies for adoption through the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals since the launch of the program called WOOF, an acronym for Working on Our Future.
Since the government balanced the budget, it was able to extend the program, he added.
The leader of the provincial Progressive Conservatives said the money spent on the program is misplaced given the other issues such as the need for doctors and rural schools that the province is facing.
"It may be a good program, but you have to question the government's priorities when there are so many other pressing needs," Jamie Baillie said.
Over the next year, the Justice Department will study whether inmates who train dogs are less likely to reoffend, and will measure whether violence has decreased in areas of the jail where the puppies roam.
Three years ago, the jail was the site of a series of violent assaults that resulted in the hiring of 30 part-time staff and prompted the province's director of correctional services to move into the building.
Disturbances in the summer of 2010 also caused damage to parts of the facility, which houses about 400 inmates.
John Landry, a supervisor at the jail who oversees the program, said he hopes it builds respect between correctional officers and inmates.
In the two units where the dogs are trained, instances of violence have fallen, he said.
"It's been really good in there," he said. "That's made a great big difference in our facility, where there are assaults every day."
He said one inmate who took part in the program later found a job at a group home offering similar dog training programs.
"It costs $63,000 per year to house an offender. So if you make a difference in one person's life, that more than covers the cost."
Jacque Deon, a 27-year-old inmate who has participated in the program for the past month, said he notices other inmates calm down when the puppies are in the lounge.
"Everybody sees a dog, they don't think of anything else. They pick up the dog. They play with it," he said.
"It's an easier time with the dog around."
He said spending hours every day training puppies has helped him prepare to return to his regular life as a lobster fisherman in the rural community of Pubnico, N.S.
He wears the standard blue fatigues and laceless sneakers that the jail issues him, but is distinguished by a belt that holds a pink pouch for dog biscuits and a roll for picking up poop.
The training routine begins at 7:45 a.m., when Deon and the other nine inmates in the program wake up to take the dogs for their morning stroll and clean their kennels. They spend up to six hours each day either in classes or with the puppies.
"You need to have patience to train these pups," Deon said, as one of his charges gobbled down a piece of kibble.
Amy MacRae, a dog trainer with the SPCA who teaches the prisoners, said the training of 70 puppies in the span of six months has opened space at the shelter and reduced her volunteer organization's workload.
"The inmates have gone above and beyond to open up the kennel spaces in the shelter, so we're able to open them up and help more animals," she said.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday signed a bill aimed at selling California's vacant homes and encouraging new construction by extending a $10,000 state tax credit for first-time homebuyers.
The governor signed a bill the state Legislature passed on a bipartisan vote this week. It provides a state tax credit to first-time homebuyers who buy new or existing homes from May 1 until the end of 2010.
Homebuyers can claim 5 percent of the purchase price against their California taxes, or up to $10,000.
"I have been up and down the state pushing this important housing bill that will get people off the fence and into homes while creating jobs and stimulating our economy," Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
Earlier this year, Schwarzenegger called on lawmakers to extend the homebuyers tax credit as part of his job-creation initiative.
At 12.5 percent, California has the fifth highest unemployment rate in the nation.
The state passed a similar tax break last year that capped the total credit available at $100 million on new homes bought through February.
The new bill makes another $100 million available for buyers of new homes and $100 million for those who buy existing homes. According to the Franchise Tax Board, the state allocated that credit to 10,569 applicants after receiving more than 12,000 applications.
The governor said the expanded tax credit will help cities and counties get more properties back on the tax roll and put more people to work.
Also on Thursday, Schwarzenegger vetoed a tax bill that would have provided relief to those who had mortgage debt forgiven in 2009.
The governor said in his veto message that he could not support the bill because lawmakers inserted a tax penalty opposed by businesses.
He asked the Legislature to send him a bill dealing solely with mortgage debt forgiveness so he can sign it.
In other jobs-related bills, Schwarzenegger signed legislation Wednesday providing a sales tax exemption on the purchase of manufacturing equipment for alternative transportation technologies, renewable energy and other clean technology projects.
The governor, however, vetoed a Democratic bill aimed at ending a three-day-a-month furlough for nearly 80,000 state employees.
Furloughs are expected to end in four months, and the governor has proposed a 5 percent pay cut for state employees starting July 1.
