Later when playing online gambling games, you will naturally experience defeat. Either from the playing model or the wrong tricks or other players who are smarter when playing. When playing gambling, of course, there are winners and losers, no matter how lucky there will be a time where you will experience defeat. Because basically gambling games are definitely more profitable for the dealer than the player.
But no matter how bad your steps are, it can be covered up if you can be wise in managing finances to play gambling. In this information I will tell you how to manage your capital and winning bets well so you don't go bankrupt.
Tips for Managing Capital When Playing Online Gambling Games
Create a Special Account
For the initial stage, you must create a special gambling account, do not combine it with a personal account. You must be able to distribute funds appropriately, for those of you who have minimal income, you must be more observant in dealing with gambling funds. if you go the wrong way, your chances will be fasting until you receive your wages. dominoqq terbaru
Make it a gambling game as a side or a distraction just to get extra money. For Aa dispensing and put a while. Here generate capital to play gambling. But with enough capital, of course, you have to take care of it well. Take a special cash or credit card machine.
One of the diseases of players is that when they lose, they will return to look for capital and hope that the lost capital can be recovered. If you Daftar Casino Online Indonesia so, you will lose more and more. For games of chance, the game must be played calmly, if you refuse to think capital, you can lose more and more.
Set Capital Limit
Usually players like to forget this when they play and win online gambling games. They returned to play until the victory was lost. As I said earlier, actually the chance of winning a casino game is getting bigger, the more you play, the bigger your loss. But it's just a mathematical calculation, if you have the perfect strategy it's another story. Here you have to decide on the limits of winning and losing, therefore if you win or lose a detail value, you must stop. Trivial sound? Sure, but it's hard to explain what you're playing. Here your concentration is tested by remembering the limit or maybe not while playing.
Playing games that have a large number of wins
Casino games have other pay tables, the less chance of winning, the higher the payouts we will receive. The same for example with the game of roulette, you are paid 1:37, only a small chance that you will win. Video poker offers fairly minimal payouts and low stakes is a game that is recommended for you. If you prefer playing poker, then register with a poker agent that is really trusted and official.
It is important to manage everything related to money. Don't ignore your life in disarray just because your gambling hobby spends a lot of your life's funds. Use wisely, until you don't regret if you lose and are not so happy when you win
Write down the number of wins and losses
Each game brings costs and benefits. To facilitate further financial control, it is better if we weigh all of our costs and income. So our capital may be clearer and some players may recognize important information regarding their finances.

Shopping was never so easy till the internet stepped in to offer its services as the chaperone, wheeling the cart behind you, while you shopped tizzy. The reason why online shopping took credence over offline shopping on many counts is also due to its speed and ease of use. It is also on numerous occasions economical and convenient to click and buy. However, by far the best advantage of e-shopping is that the e-shop never sleeps. If you are ready, so is it — to fetch you your command 24x7x365. From an airline ticket, to sending a few sprigs of exotic orchids to your ailing great aunt in Timbuktu, your mouse does all the activity.
But, on the flip side, while it seems to be the best option for the techno-savvy individual who is perennially broke on the question of spare time, it also can be the worst nightmare if caught in the web of deceit woven by unscrupulous dealers whose main motive is to swindle you off your greens.
If you divide the buyers based on gender, age, income, and geographical locations, you will get to see a very different aspect of these online buyers. All these factors actually have a great impact on what they buy, how they spend, and where they frequent. More than 65% of all Internet shoppers can be easily divided into two sections: discount-mongers and shop-with-ease types. A Forrester Research estimated that this 65% included 9.2 million of the 13.1 million households in the U.S. Most surveys however also reveal a difference in men and women shoppers. Men, more techno-savvy and gadget-friendly frequent sites that would offer them the best deals on electronics, entertainment, and home/office supplies. Women on the net would like to visit sites that offer personal products, home and hearth items, and clothes. A demographic study on online shopping trends revealed that geography, apart from age and financial status, too played a key role in the buyers' tendencies. This might be owing to either its topographical disadvantages or the area's fiscal potentialities. However, recent surveys have revealed a different storyline altogether. More and more women have loosened their purse strings than their counterparts nationwide. Women buyers made a neat 62 % last year while men conducted only 38% of these transactions.
A portion of why online selling is still gathering momentum to offline shopping is that the traditional bricks-and-mortar stores still holds the trust of the consumer where they get to see, feel, compare and haggle for the product they want to purchase. These notions will change eventually, but only when online services will guarantee hassle-free exchanges to this atypical set of consumers. On the other hand, Internet too has to face similar challenges from the multiple windows that promise the earth to the consumers, with an additional 50% off on the moon if paid via a certain pay channel!!

It came to end too quickly. There was no road marker, no band, and no welcoming committee. Only the hum of fast rolling busses and fumes from diesel powered trucks made me aware that I had crossed into the great city of San Francisco. I stopped, looked around, congratulated myself and then quickly got on a bus so I could rest my now swollen feet.
Tonight I met my daughter Melissa. I know she was impressed that I had walked 600 miles to see her. She also knew that her Dad was an adventurer who had to experience the world one step at a time
And finally an ode of thanks to the great little hotels where I restfully slept along my route:

Vehicular site visitors on the Jammu-Srinagar nationwide freeway resumed just lately after blockades attributable to taking pictures stones and mudslides in Ramban district had been cleared, officers stated.

Low carb eating has resulted in a few functional food shortcomings that've proven hard to work around. For instance, while most dips can be easily modified to be low-carb friendly most chips cannot. I miss the dip transport function of chips but feel them necessary as I'd feel like a barbarian if I simply ate blue cheese dressing or cream cheese-centered French Onion dip with a spoon, but while holding a chip, I am a gourmet, a gentleman.
I had tried chip alternatives like making my own crackers, but this brought flashbacks (https://www.suburbanadventure.com/2010/12/17/dinner-prep-crackerquest/). Another option I investigated was cooking pepperoni until it was hard but by the time it gets firm enough it's also quite… toasted. Then I moved onto broccoli but had to keep steaming new batches which prevented me from late night consumption which I suppose may be a good thing.
That ended today when I spotted, in my very own fridge, cucumbers. I took one out, sliced it and it performed admirably. I'm pretty sure I had gotten them for this purpose which has raised the side effects of keto to include not just strange breath but retrograde amnesia.


text: As property prices have risen in Hong Kong, developers have been building ever-tinier homes to make them affordable. How small is too small has been the inevitable question asked by those worried about livability. The government promised an answer and just before the new year, set a figure of 280 sq ft as the minimum floor area for a flat built on its land. It is not as low as some had feared and perhaps even comfortable for a single person, but is still far less than what many developed societies elsewhere consider acceptable. The smallest self-contained flats in the private sector have been 128 sq ft, the size of a car parking space. Secretary for Development Michael Wong Wai-lun's announcement last Thursday that the new rule would be tested in a project of 2,020 flats in Tuen Mun more than doubles that size and is above market expectations of between 200 and 250 sq ft. The decision coincides with the government expanding the supply of land for residential use to a four-year high in the next three months to tackle a severe housing shortfall. Authorities had been considering building even smaller homes to boost stocks. Another major developer, the MTR, has pledged to follow suit and the Urban Renewal Authority, a government-backed housing provider, already adheres to a higher minimum of about 300 sq ft. Some in the property sector consider the government's limit too small; they contend it will make homes unaffordable. Death of the nano flat? Hong Kong sets minimum size for new homes The thinking is that there should be a wide range of usable floor areas available to cater for all budgets. But with the term "nano flat" synonymous with the city, matters of perception, living standards, affordability and reputation also have to be considered. With an ageing population and declining birth rate, authorities have been under pressure to make Hong Kong a more desirable place in which to live and raise a family. They have acknowledged cramped living spaces are a "pain point" for society. There has been particular concerns about rising numbers only able to afford rooms in subdivided flats. The government is finally taking the lead with setting limits, but it is to be hoped that as more usable land is found, minimum sizes can be raised.

Callen (Chris O'Donnell) is sinking to new lows on the season-seven premiere of NCIS: Los Angeles.
The CBS procedural wrapped up season six with the NCIS special agent assuming that both of his parents were dead, only for viewers to learn by the end of the finale that his father is in fact still alive.
Creator Shane Brennan tells The Hollywood Reporter that Callen's fragile emotional state leads him to do something in the premiere that he's never done before. Brennan also discusses what's next for Kensi (Daniela Ruah) and Deeks' (Eric Christian Olsen) relationship, a new romance for Callen and a storyline that leaves Sam's (LL Cool J) family in serious jeopardy.
Read more 'NCIS: Los Angeles' Stars, Producers Tease Season 7's "Challenging" Twists, "Kinky" Scenes
The finale concluded with the audience learning that Callen's father is indeed still alive, unbeknownst to Callen. How soon after that will things pick up in the premiere?
We begin three months later, and Callen has started to act rather strangely. He's off doing something — he doesn't want to involve Sam, he doesn't want to involve Hetty (Linda Hunt), and they begin to get very concerned about what he is doing. As a result, it puts him in a pretty difficult situation with Hetty and Sam in particular, but also for the rest of the team. We've seen these guys go off the grid before, but this one is much more personal for Callen. As a result, it puts him off side with Hetty, who takes some rather drastic action to try and corral him; she ends up tasering him.
The finale was definitely tough for Callen. What is his emotional state at the start of the season?
Callen's forced to do something [in the premiere] that he's never done before, and that is break the law. Now, someone said they break the law every week, but this is seriously break the law. And he does it, so he's a lawbreaker in this episode, and he does so out of desperation. And it's not just in the spur of the moment — it's a planned moment. I think the fun part of the episode is the lengths at which Hetty is prepared to go to stop him. (Laughs.)
When will Callen learn the truth about his father?
If the audience is looking for an answer to the man that we last saw at the end of season six, Callen's father, you won't get that answer in this episode. We take a step towards that. It's an interesting thing — it was never set as a cliffhanger. It was set as sort of a moment for the audience to contemplate. And Callen's actions in the opening episode suggest that he is still driven by that desperate need to have some sort of closure. The intriguing thing here is, what is driving him? What is this personal thing that's driving him to basically break all of the rules within NCIS and within the team? When we find out what's behind it, it will make sense to the entire audience because it plays back to a longstanding relationship.
What's next for Kensi and Deeks' romance?
There's some great, fun moments between Kensi and Deeks [in the premiere]. We are right into their relationship at this point. It's not often that a show like ours that develops a romantic relationship between characters actually pays it off. We decided to grasp the nettle and see what it's like to have two characters who are romantically involved declare their love and then work as partners within the team. We see them at home in Deeks' house having breakfast together. You really get to see them living a life outside of the office — although obviously, because it is a procedural, they're never far apart from the work that they have to do.
It sounds like she'll be meeting his mother in the premiere?
She meets his mother, and his mother comes back for a second episode. There is a fairly dramatic situation that develops between Kensi and Deeks involving the internal affairs investigation that's been ongoing through last season; that comes to a head fairly early in the season. We have the return of Talia (Mercedes Masohn), who has always been interesting in the Kensi-Deeks world. (Laughs.) She seems to rub Kensi the wrong way somewhat. She returns in an early episode.
Callen and Joelle (Elizabeth Bogush) have had their up-and-down moments at times. Where is their relationship heading?
Callen has his relationship with Joelle, and things come to a bit of a head between them too in the first part of the season, and there is some other romance that develops for Callen. There's an interesting turn with his romance with Joelle — that happens in the first half of the season and is tied to the first episode, in a roundabout sort of way. (Laughs.) The fans will have a connection to this [third-wheel] character.
What other big storylines are on the horizon this season?
For Sam, there's the return of someone from his past that ultimately carries us through to the finale in a pretty spectacular way, and it impacts his family. This situation for Sam, it's a big family-in-jeopardy kind of moment for Sam later in the season. [And] we're looking at a return to Russia in the middle of the season, a big double episode, that will answer a lot of questions for some people and pose some questions for others. (Laughs.)
NCIS: Los Angeles' seventh season premieres Monday at 10 p.m. on CBS.

You have a dressier wardrobe, so you don't think you have much room for anything vintage and classic like a casual, worn-out T-shirt. However, your wardrobe can benefit from a vintage T-shirt, which you can find at your local thrift store, buy online, or get at a specialty store. While your entire wardrobe doesn't have to be made up of vintage styles and cozy, worn T-shirts, there are many reasons why you should consider vintage T-shirts for your wardrobe.
Here are reasons to invest in vintage T-shirts for your dressy wardrobe. When you get a sizable collection, you can feel great about the selection you have before you.
You broaden the wardrobe items you have
When you have only dressy items in your closet, you limit the choices you have when you want to go out and do something casual and fun. You can collect vintage T-shirts in a variety of styles and ways, such as sticking to older bands or only buying vintage T-shirts that are from brands you recognize. You can stick to your main classy and dressy wardrobe most of the time, throwing on a vintage style T-shirt under a dressy blazer to really mix things up and get the most out of the items you already own.
You bring out more of your personality
Your personality is not limited to just the fancier and dressier items you own. You can really express your personality when you throw on a vintage T-shirt that is classy in its design and that shows your fun and adventurous side. You really want your personality to shine, so make sure you choose vintage T-shirts that really match with things you like or enjoy, such as phrases you say, brands you are loyal to, bands you listen to, or color styles that you are more likely to choose over others.
You get unique and fun clothing
The best way to really make your wardrobe fun and unique is to buy clothing that other people are not buying or are not actively seeking. Anything vintage won't be found in modern styles or on regular store shelves, so you may have to really dig deep to find vintage T-shirts in the first place. This makes your wardrobe more unique and fun overall, which helps you stand out in many positive ways. Your wardrobe can be made more engaging with the right vintage T-shirt styles.

Challenging games await in Nixa's quest for title
Despite being one of the favorites to win the Central Ozark Conference this season, Nixa High School boys basketball coach Jay Osborne knows the road to that title will not be easy.
Just look at the upcoming schedule.
"The thing about our league," Osborne said, "I don't consider it a true conference champion because we don't play everybody home and away."
Case in point, the Eagles have conference road games at defending state champion Republic, as well as Willard, which competed recently at the prestigious Bass Pro Tournament of Champions. However, those two schools won't have to make return trips to Nixa.
"Those are two tough places to win," Osborne said.
Conference home games for Nixa include Branson this Friday, Carthage, Ozark and Rogersville.
"Our first three conference games are at home," Osborne said. "That's a flaw in the schedule. It's not a perfect system, but that's the schedule that's been put together for us."
The Eagles already have one COC win, an 83-46 home victory against Neosho on Jan. 14.
"It'd be nice to go 3 and 0, and that's what we'll look to do," he said.
Girls basketball
For senior forward Angie Allen, it's no secret. Now in her fourth go-around on the girls basketball team, Allen is aware of what awaits her team when it resumes Central Ozark Conference play Thursday night at home against Branson.
"The COC is probably one of the toughest conferences around," she said. "(The conference race) is going to be about heart — whoever wants to go out there and work the hardest for it and wants it the most."
The Lady Eagles are off to a good start in conference after picking up a 68-45 win over Neosho on Jan. 13. Every victory for Nixa is key, as coach Jennifer Perryman predicts this could be the most balanced COC field in years.
"It's one of those years where if things go a certain way, the conference could end up in a two or three-way tie," she said. "Hopefully that doesn't happen. Our goal is to win it outright.
"We definitely know we have to come out and play our best each night."
After Thursday night's game against Branson, Nixa will face Bolivar at Southwest Baptist on Saturday afternoon before hosting Carthage on Monday night.

What is a Culture Health Check survey?
The Culture Health Check survey is a tool that gives you the ability to measure, monitor, and manage your company culture at an individual, team, and organisational level.
Designed and built by MyPeople, and perfected over our 20 years' experience of building great teams, it involves a 50 point survey and forms part of our Team Culture product.
What are the benefits of a Team Culture survey?
- Offer each employee a voice, diagnose and bridge the gap, if it exists, between your current culture and the culture your organisation hopes to achieve.
- Prevent stressors, burnout, flight risk, and loss of productivity before they happen, reducing attrition rates, improving employee attraction, and increasing retention.
- Analyse both individual and collective relationships in the workplace, helping managers to establish trust-based relationships with employees.
- Assess the workplace factors affecting your teams and deploy your culture champions to promote the conditions needed for your people to thrive.
- Generate actionable insights for your organisation to improve and help your company and your people work better together.
- Protect your culture from rapid scaling. Losing top performers, disengaged teams, workload imbalances, and new hires not fitting your culture, are just some of the problems that can arise from rapid scaling.
But what happens after the survey? How do you communicate the results of a Culture Health Check Survey to your teams?
1. Thank everyone for taking part
Without honesty and employee participation, the results of your survey are meaningless. So ensure you make time to thank all participants for taking part.
Explain the reasons for the survey; You want the company to be a better place to work, you want your employees to feel engaged and aligned to the company's purpose, and that you want your workplace to enable your employees to feel happy, secure, and included – emphasise, if there are steps that need to be taken to make this happen, you are willing to take them.
Communicate the importance of a strong company culture to your teams and discuss what a positive workplace culture may look like for them.
2. Provide an expected timeline for communicating results
Provide employees with a timeline for when you will share insights with them, the key findings, and when they can expect actions to be made.
Time is the essence. By sharing high level results swiftly, it will illustrate the value your organisation places on culture, relationships, and its people within the company.
3. Share and discuss results with leadership
Discuss the findings with the key leaders in the business, including the themes and actions that can be taken to change or protect your cultural strengths. Consider how you can use your strengths to improve your weaknesses and compare your results with external sectors and geographic benchmarks, to understand the wider picture of your results – this will enable you to see if there are common patterns evolving in your industry. Most importantly, encourage conversations to debate and decide on an action plan moving forwards. Our Team Culture product (Standard & Enterprise plans) automatically generate insights using machine learning, to assist in developing a strategy.
4. Share initial findings and company-wide results
Firstly, share company-wide results. These should be communicated to the whole company. This could include participation rates, overall scores, high-level insights, and themes – as well as comparing results to previous surveys (if applicable). Remind everyone that results are anonymised – there are still likely to be some who feel afraid they will be singled out.
If previous Culture Health Check surveys have taken place, this is a good opportunity to identify what areas of improvement can be seen – and where the company may still need to focus their attention.
5. Discuss team level findings with specific managers and teams
Review team-specific results with managers first, and then encourage them to relay the findings to their individual teams. Ensure no participants are easily identifiable, as this will reduce trust and participation in future surveys.
Focus on positive results first – identify the teams' strengths, and then move onto more constructive feedback. If there are team-specific issues, communicate action plans, timelines, and what specific steps the organisation is taking to resolve the issues.
6. Follow up on action plans
It is no good formulating a plan and then not actioning it. Set out clear guidelines, aims, and timelines based on the invaluable insight generated by the Culture Health Check. Keep tracking how you are meeting those deadlines by scheduling an annual regular Culture Health Check survey.
What next?
A Culture Health Check survey should not be a once-off occurrence. Once complete, there is a benchmark for comparing future survey results – so make measuring your culture regularly a norm within your organisation. Show your employees that a strong company culture is integral for organisational success and that the business will act when required to enable the culture in your workplace is the best it can be.
After all, as Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, says "An organisation's ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage."

NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE/I) have revealed a national strategy to create 18 radiology networks across England over the next four years.
The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) supports the overarching strategy but warns that networks alone will not resolve shortages across the NHS imaging workforce.
A handful of radiology networks have already been created across England – and the wider-UK – by innovative trusts and radiology teams.
The RCR has long promoted the model, and in 2016 we produced practical IT guidance for trusts interested in networking.
Imaging networks are now a focus of the NHSE Long Term Plan, which commits to the national establishment of networks by 2023 so that scan images can be accessed by clinicians "regardless of geography", and to create big datasets for use in health research.
The NHSE/I networks strategy, released yesterday, outlines the case for imaging networks and the key considerations for local network leaders as the systems develop.
It recommends the initial creation of 24 networks – to be consolidated into 18 by 2023 – but does not describe their composition, as each will need to be a flexible work-in-progress, incorporating complex local service overlaps and integration.
NHSE/I have committed to provide operational toolkits and templates as part of implementation guidance expected in early 2020, as well as general support and future help with IT procurement.
RCR Vice President for Clinical Radiology Dr Caroline Rubin said:
"The strategy does an excellent job of setting the scene for radiology networks against the demands, aspirations and operational direction of the health service.
"We know the lack of image-sharing across hospitals is leading to reporting backlogs and delays and harm to patients. A handful of pioneering networks that grew organically have shown it can be done, and the need for more networking is clear.
"Networks will support out-of-hours scan reporting and faster access to specialist opinion – as well as helping departments clear backlogs and cope when they are short-staffed because of leave and illness.
"Imaging networks will take shape over time and be locally-led, but they must also have ongoing centralised oversight, resourcing and support. The proposed planning toolkit and local engagement from NHS agencies are extremely welcome, and their help with IT specifications and procurement will be absolutely key.
"We endorse the NHSE/I phased approach and look forward to working with them, alongside local clinical leads, to support the networks as they develop, helping to nurture the collaborative culture that is vital to their success.
"They are an obvious and crucial part of the future of hospital imaging but are not the perfect solution to understaffed services – and we are grateful the national strategy recognises the need to address workforce issues.
"Networks will not be enough to sustain NHS imaging without more investment in radiologists, radiographers and other imaging staff. The radiologist workforce alone is on course for a 31 per cent shortfall by 2023 – and the England-wide go-live of imaging networks will not change that."
Official strategy for English radiology networks released
NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE/I) have revealed a national strategy to create 18 radiology networks across England over the next four years.

- Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a computing model that allows businesses to access computer hardware in the cloud.
- IaaS is similar technology to SaaS and PaaS, but it's a broader solution for businesses, granting access to a private cloud and virtualized network.
- Using IaaS for your company can help you reduce costs and increase flexibility to grow your business and scale technologies more quickly.
- This article is for business owners who are looking to use cloud computing to house their companies' infrastructure.
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) enables companies to effectively rent a computerized infrastructure from a remote location, supporting their technological needs without extensive investment. Such product offerings include virtual servers, network connections and load balancers.
As businesses become more technologically advanced, many are adopting an IaaS model for their infrastructure. While it can be a daunting task to outsource, having your company's infrastructure in an IaaS can actually reduce costs and increase flexibility.
What is IaaS?
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a cloud computing model that provides access to computer hardware in a cloud-based environment. The main appeal of any cloud computing service is the virtualized hardware and software. The hardware resources in IaaS are pulled from multiple servers and networks located across multiple offsite data centers, and maintained independently of your company. You simply pay a monthly fee to use these resources as needed internally, and the cloud host is responsible for the ongoing care of the hardware and virtualized services.
IaaS vs. PaaS vs. SaaS
IaaS provides services for creating an effective business infrastructure in the form of server and network resources, allowing for the availability of a private cloud and virtualized local network. PaaS (platform as a service) caters to software developers, providing a platform and environments in which they can build applications and similar services over the internet. SaaS, or software as a service, offers a combination of IaaS and PaaS, granting access to a software application over the internet. Each of these solutions caters to a different type of consumer, whether they need hardware or software resources for specific tasks.
Tip: Cloud computing is constantly growing and changing, just like your business needs. Read about Google's Cloud Certifications to understand what qualifications you could have for your career.
The benefits of IaaS
IaaS caters to the same consumer mentality as PaaS and SaaS, in that you can use these services as cost-effective and easily scalable methods of creating IT solutions. The complexities and expenses associated with an IT infrastructure are considerable, but they are easily overcome through a cloud provider. For example, if your business needs to grow quickly with operational fluctuations, you can tap into cloud resources as needed rather than purchasing, installing, and integrating new hardware internally. [Related: Small Business Guide to Cloud Computing]
The capabilities of IaaS are quite numerous, offering the following solutions.
- Enterprise-level infrastructure: IaaS establishes an internal business network in the form of a private cloud and virtual local networks, utilizing a pooled server to store company data and run the needed applications each day. This basic structure allows for easy business expansion while still providing necessary data protection in a cloud setting.
- Cloud hosting: Rather than storing hardware within your business facilities, you can host your websites and virtual servers through a pooled collection of physical servers elsewhere. This provides the huge benefits of security redundancies and on-demand scalability.
- Virtual data centers: A virtualized network of interconnected servers enhances your business's hosting capabilities, creating an ideal environment for a public or private cloud.
The infrastructure you create through IaaS can significantly cut down on expenses and your personnel requirements in various ways, thanks to the following additional benefits.
- Scalability: When a business experiences significant growth, it typically needs to purchase new equipment, install and implement it, and train employees in its use. IaaS cuts out the first two steps, providing immediately available resources for easy growth.
- No hardware investment: Much of the expense associated with a comprehensive IT solution is computer hardware. Rather than spending thousands on servers that might break at any moment, when you invest in a cloud hosting solution, you remove the risk of hardware failure and the need for ongoing maintenance.
- Utility-style cost: With IaaS, rather than paying for hardware in its entirety and not utilizing it fully, you pay only for the resources you actually use, saving your business money over the long term.
- Independent location: In the event of a power outage at your place of business, in-house servers can become quite problematic, as they're suddenly unavailable to any consumers who use them. Housing your server resources in an independent location ensures your servers' continued operation.
- Hardware security: Services available through cloud hosts have secure data centers with multiple physical security measures.
- No single point of failure: Thanks to the redundant nature of cloud hosts, if one server or network switch were to fail, the data center would be unaffected; it would naturally reroute activity through its numerous hardware resources. Even if an entire data center failed, the host would have secondary and tertiary centers to ensure continued online function.
Key takeaway: When you need to store and access massive amounts of company data, cloud data services like IaaS are a cost-effective alternative to setting up and running a data center. Learn the differences between cloud data hosting and a traditional data center.
IaaS providers
IaaS typically follows a pay-as-you-go model, allowing you to determine how much your business can afford each month or how many resources you actually need. Amazon Web Services, InterVision Hosted IaaS, and IBM are some prominent IaaS solutions, offering high efficiency at low monthly rates, but there are hundreds of other providers to choose from – all with their own benefits and offerings. Others you might consider are DigitalOcean, Google Compute Engine and Linode.
- Amazon Web Services: Amazon's digital infrastructure services are used by thousands of businesses across 190 countries. AWS was one of the first to offer a pay-as-you-go model for cloud computing, which allows for high flexibility as your business expands.
- InterVision Hosted IaaS: Formerly known as Bluelock, InterVision Hosted IaaS offers a wide range of technology to complement the cloud computing service. This means you can easily create an entire compatible computer system right off the bat.
- IBM: As another full-service cloud platform, IBM offers a completely scalable IaaS system for companies big and small.
- DigitalOcean: This is a relatively new player in the IaaS world, but it has quickly risen to prominence among the hundreds of options. The company's mindset is to make the digital infrastructure as simple as possible for developers to launch and scale.
- Google Compute Engine: The biggest strength of Google's IaaS is its speed. Processing data at these unmatched rates will make your network's performance noticeably better.
- Linode: Like IBM and AWS, Linode has been around for nearly as long as IaaS has existed. It is a highly rated and reliable option with a range of customizable packages to make sure your business has exactly what it needs.

What caused Cyclone Brett Medders to cry following Iowa win
AMES, Ia. -- Tears came falling down his face as Brett Medders sat on a bus following Iowa State's win in Iowa City last Saturday.
Three years worth of emotion came piling out in one memorable moment.
Medders' breakout performance as an Iowa State wide receiver came during an adversity-faced career with the Cyclones following the win against the Hawkeyes.
"I had to let it go," Medders said of his tears on the bus. "I definitely had to. I had talked to my dad on the phone, and he started crying a little bit, too."
It's been a long time coming for Medders, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound red-shirt junior from Westlake Village, Calif.
It hasn't always been easy either for Medders who dealt with his share of trials and tribulations since his first season at Iowa State in 2011. Medders, a walk-on, opted to move to Ames mostly so he could be closer to his sister, Lyndsey (Medders) Fennelly, the wife of women's assistant basketball coach Billy Fennelly.
Lyndsey was a star women's basketball player for the Cyclones. After being away from her brother during college and having him grow up from afar, she urged him to move to Ames to play football for the Cyclones.
Brett decided to do it. He walked on to play for Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads.
The transition wasn't easy, though.
Medders had trouble adjusting to life away from home. He fought for a chance at playing time, and he struggled in the classroom. He was ruled academically ineligible in 2012.
It wasn't until an eye-opening conversation with Rhoads regarding his eligibility that things really began to change.
"He was very stern," Medders said. "He said, 'You've really got to crack down, or else you're out of here.' I had to man up and get things done."
That's exactly what Medders did. He hit the books and was in study hall every day, working to gain back his eligibility. When he did, he continued his work on the field, hitting the weight room, getting faster and stronger.
"He's really matured. And with that, the physical tools have come along," Rhoads said. "You could always see the raw tools, but when he (decided) to move forward with everything he does in a positive fashion, (the tools) really developed."
After appearing in just one game in 2013, Medders turned heads during the 2014 spring game.
His first chance to shine came against Iowa, with wide receivers Jarvis West and P.J. Harris sidelined by in-game injuries.
During a breakout performance, he caught the first three passes of his Iowa State career for 27 yards -- including a key third-down reception during Iowa State's fourth-quarter, game-winning drive.
"Very proud of him Saturday," Iowa State quarterback Sam Richardson said. "He really stepped up in a big role when Jarvis went down."
The impact was felt by the entire family. Lyndsey Fennelly said she received 79 text messages in three minutes after he caught his first pass.
After the game, she sent one to Rhoads to thank him for the opportunity he gave her brother.
Things got even more emotional on the bus, when Medders reflected on his day and the journey to it.
"Being a walk-on, it's tough," Medders said. "You've got to earn your stuff. It was tough. It was definitely rewarding."
When the team got back to Ames, Medders bolted over to his sister's family's home to hug 4-month-old nephew Will.
The two have grown closer. They meet for lunch every Thursday during game weeks.
While Fennelly was often seen as a role model for athletes at Iowa State, she said she's found plenty of reasons to look up to her younger brother after all he's been through.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President-elect Donald Trump got plenty of attention - but not the kind he was looking for - after a tweet Saturday (Dec 17) calling out China for its seizure of an unmanned US naval probe.
"China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters - rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented (sic) act," the real estate magnate wrote on his favorite platform.
"Unpresidented" quickly became a top trending topic on Twitter in the United States, as online wags savaged the incoming president for the unfortunate misspelling.
"TrumpSpellCheck - Unpresidentedly effective," tweeted Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
"Dear world, most Americans really wish we could be #unpresidented," another Twitter user wrote.
Mr Trump deleted the tweet after about an hour, replacing it with one correctly using the word "unprecedented." While many mocked the deeply divisive political novice, famous for his verbal tics and gaffes, supporters jumped to his defence and said critics were piling on about a typo while ignoring the bigger problem.
Mr Trump was referring to China's seizure on Thursday of an unmanned US naval probe in international waters of the South China Sea, a serious provocation as tensions rise between the two superpowers.
Mr Trump has repeatedly infuriated Beijing in recent weeks, questioning longstanding US policy on Taiwan, calling Beijing a currency manipulator and threatening Chinese imports with punitive tariffs.
The Pentagon on Friday called on Beijing to "immediately" return the probe that it had "unlawfully seized."

Typography Insights
Typography Insight is an iPad application that introduces new methods for learning and teaching typefaces. The project stemmed from my love for typography and evolving mobile platforms. It was inspired by my own experience in typography classes whilst attending design school. Typography Insight leverages technological evolutions in tablet devices, most notably the touch interface and high resolution display of the iPad, to visualize and manipulate typefaces. With Typography Insight, students can easily experiment and inspect the detailed shapes of historical typefaces. Consequently they can acquire a deeper understanding of the type, a virtue of any competitive designer. http://typeinsight.org
Sneak peek: Neacademia
Neacademia by Sergei Egorov is an excellent Latin and Cyrillic type family, a contemporary interpretation of the Aldine types from 15th century. So old it's new!
It is inspired by the types cut by 15th century Italian punchcutter Francesco Griffo da Bolgnа for the famous Venetian printer and publisher Aldus Pius Manutius. Neacademia is designed for lengthy texts of an appropriate nature such as classical literature and art. Different versions of the typeface are optimised for settings at specific point sizes in a manner, traditional for setting metal type. While the display sizes maintain a visual link to its calligraphic roots, text sizes exhibit more typographic qualities, following the moves of the carver's, not calligrapher's, hand. http://www.rosettatype.com/index.php?action=portal/viewContent&cntId_content=2927
MyFonts interview with Natalia Vasilyeva
"Our interviewee is one of the most prolific designers of pragmatic text fonts and accomplished calligraphic typefaces for ParaType, Russia's principal typefoundry. Yet her type designs represent only a fraction of her interests. Part scientist, part artist, in meeting Natalia Vasilyeva we discovered a designer with a technician's head and a calligrapher's hand, happy to show us around her lab." http://new.myfonts.com/newsletters/cc/201105.html
Ode to a Letter
"Inspired by my love for letters and typography I decided to make an ode to all the letters of the alphabet. I wrote a letter to each of the 26 characters of the alphabet, starting with 'Dear A…', Dear B..','Dear C…' etc. For these letters I used the most personal typography I have , my own handwriting. I brought my handwriting to a higher level, honoring every character. A 3D-wooden sculpture was created for each single character to accompany the letter as well." http://www.typegoodness.com/2011/05/ode-to-a-letter/

Changelly Review
This Changelly review provides information on the service's benefits, customer service, and safety. It also makes it easy to exchange currencies. It offers fixed exchange rates and takes only 15 minutes to complete a transaction. Candice Reeves is a writer and public relations graduate with experience in the field of personal finance. Her main focus is on financial freedom, and increasing financial literacy through research.
What is changelly?
Changelly, a cryptocurrency exchange that allows users to quickly and securely exchange one cryptocurrency for another, is available. It has been trusted by more than two million users around the globe and offers a wide range of currencies. Users have the option of using fixed or floating exchange rates, depending on the type of transaction they are looking to perform.
Changelly offers an easy-to-use interface with a minimal learning curve. The service is completely free and users don't need to register. You don't have to pay any fees for withdrawals or deposits. It also charges a small transaction fee, 0.25%, on crypto-to-crypto transactions.
Is it Safe
Changelly, a cryptocurrency exchange, is located in Prague, Czech Republic. It allows its users to trade over 200 cryptocurrencies. The company's founder, Konstantin Gladych, is also involved with the largest Monero mining pool. After becoming fascinated by the global nature of the crypto world, he decided to launch his exchange in 2013.
You must verify your identity before you can use Changelly. This is called KYC (Know Your Customer). This process takes approximately half an hour and is necessary before you can trade on Changelly. The documents that must be presented include a valid international passport, driver's license, or government-issued ID card.
After you've verified your identity, you can open an account. Go to the Changelly website, and enter your address. You will then be sent a confirmation email. Click the link in the email to confirm your account. You will then receive your Changelly login credentials. If you need to reset your password, please let us know.
How to Use
Before you can use Changelly to trade your cryptocurrency, you must sign up. Register with your email address, or create a profile. After you have registered, you will receive a confirmation email. To confirm your registration, click the link in that email and get your login credentials.
The changelly website will then ask you to choose a currency for the transaction. You can either choose a fixed rate or a floating one. Fixed rates guarantee that the client will receive the exact amount agreed to in the transaction regardless of market conditions.

Changelly offers an easy and convenient platform for trading cryptocurrencies. They currently support more than 140 cryptocurrencies. Customers can also use their service to exchange fiat currencies for cryptocurrency. However, customers should be aware that the exchange service does charge a high fee for trading in fiat currencies.
Changelly is one the most well-known and efficient platforms for crypto trading to crypto transactions. This is a trusted exchange with a proven track record. However, the fees are a problem. It's not clear how much it charges and what third-party payment processors are used. Also, the company has not made clear who runs it.
Changelly charges a variety of fees. You may have to pay either 5% or 10% depending on the transaction value if you wish to convert US dollars to Euros. While this option is convenient, the exchange rate offered through fiat is far from as attractive as the exchange rate through crypto. The developers of Changelly say this is due to the fees involved in third-party processing.

If you are on a tight budget, you can create custom stickers for your business on the cheap. If you know where to find the best services, you can design your own stickers for cheap using online software. But before you choose a sticker-making service, it is important to do some research. Check the reputation and reviews of the company you are considering. If you're still unsure about which service to use, ask for a quote from several options before making a final decision.
Custom Stickers for Cheap:

Discounts for custom stickers are calculated automatically by the total cost of the materials and labor. By ordering different quantities of each line item, you can get more sticker designs for less money. This is also a good way to experiment with different designs before deciding on the final design. The discounts can add up, especially if you're ordering a small amount of stickers. If you're unsure, consider sketching the design of your label on the product to determine the right size.
Design and Marketing:
Custom stickers can be cut into any shape and customized to match your design and marketing campaign. They come in a variety of shapes, including kiss-cuts, hang tags, and oval stickers. Just Buttons also offers free shipping. The company also offers custom die-cut stickers, which are cut through the vinyl backing to fit a specific shape. These stickers are ideal for outdoor and indoor applications. However, if you want a smaller quantity, you might want to consider economy stickers, which cost less but come without the extra backing.
When ordering custom stickers, choose the material. Paper is the best choice if you want them to be displayed indoors. Vinyl is a durable material that can withstand water. Excellent choice for food labels and car bumper stickers. Resistant to oils and moisture. And if you want something a bit more durable, consider gloss or matte. High gloss UV is best for a glossy finish and multiple touches.

Stickers Cheaper:
To make your custom stickers cheaper, you should order from a company that offers design proofs. This way, you can see what the sticker will look like before you purchase it. When you order more than one design, make sure to request proofs for each one. Proofs will allow the designer to make any necessary changes. Check all of the specifications before ordering to ensure that they are all correct. You should also choose a cheap custom sticker company that offers a guarantee on its product.
The best part about cheap custom stickers is that they are highly customizable. While a high-quality sticker might cost a few dollars, a cheap sticker can give your company a much longer-lasting positive impact. Furthermore, cheap custom stickers can be applied on a variety of surfaces, from cars to clothing. That means your custom stickers can be on display for a long period of time. That's a major advantage! You can also create custom stickers to thank customers or clients.
If you're looking for cheap custom stickers, consider the material. For indoor use, choose a paper sticker. For outdoor use, opt for white vinyl sticker material. The latter is waterproof, which makes it an excellent option. But be sure to consider the durability of your stickers, and the intended location. If you plan to stick the stickers on windows, choose a material that is not going to damage paint or wood. Alternatively, you can opt for a glossy or matte finish to give them a more professional look.
Stickers for Cheap Custom:

While you might be tempted to design and print your own stickers yourself, there are many advantages to outsourcing this job. You can find affordable sticker printing services on freelance.

You can easily get stickers made for any occasion and can place them in strategic locations. These stickers are useful for promotional events, promotional giveaways, and decorative elements. Moreover, they can help your business increase its brand awareness and increase customer satisfaction. If you're planning to print more than one design on a single sticker, you can use a custom sticker page. Custom sticker pages are best for low-run productions since there is no minimum order quantity.
You can also get discounts when you order a certain quantity of custom stickers. Discounts on multiple-design orders are calculated automatically, which can help you save a considerable amount of money. You can also use this opportunity to order different sizes, shapes, and products. You can test different designs and sizes to see which one is the most appropriate for your business.

The Zambian Women's soccer team are set to face giant-killers Botswana in the first leg of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games third-round, the first-leg qualifier at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka on Wednesday.
Botswana have arrived in Lusaka with quite a reputation after eliminating favourites South Africa (Banyana Banyana) 3-2 on post-match penalties after a 0-0 aggregate to deny them the prospect of a third-successive Olympic Games appearance.
"Botswana are a threat after beating South Africa but we know them. We have played them twice. We drew in the first match and beat them 4-0 in the second game," said Zambia coach Bruce Mwape.
They drew 0-0 with Botswana during the 2019 Cosafa Women's Cup at the group stage and later beat them 4-0 in the semis of the tournament staged in Port Elizabeth.
"But that doesn't mean we will underestimate them. The past games are all just history and we are taking this game seriously," Mwape said.
"Also, playing at home in some ways has its advantages but that doesn't mean we will be relaxed. We want to win this game to make things easier for us when we go away to Botswana."
Botswana and Zambia meet in the final-leg on Sunday with the winners over both legs facing face Ghana or Kenya in the penultimate qualifying round next month.
Africa has one automatic slot while the runner-up faces Chile in a play-off.

If fishing is one of your greatest passions, then Im sure youve already tried fishing at all of the lakes and rivers near your home. But, have you ever thought about fishing a little farther away say, in another country or state, perhaps? There are a lot of possibilities for fishing enthusiasts out there, and the next time you decide to go on vacation, you might want to turn it into a fishing expedition. A good place to indulge your love for fishing would be in a Canada fishing lodge, or at any fishing location in that country, for that matter.
Fishing is very popular in Canada, primarily because there are so many areas within the country that are great for fishing. Northern Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan are among the favorites for those who like remote fishing. Newfoundland and The Yukon, on the opposite coasts, are also popular among those who want to spend some time at a Canada fishing lodge thats relatively isolated from the rest of civilization. Of course, there are several things you need to consider when you decide to go fishing in Canada. These considerations will also help you choose exactly where in the country you will spend your next vacation.
Heres a bit of good news for you: Every province in Canada is ideal for remote fishing. If you want total privacy and solitude, the Northern provinces would be your best bet, with their various isolated rivers and lakes that can be reached only by either boat or plane. You can find a Canada fishing lodge in any of these provinces where you can get guides, shelter, and other basic services.
There are several options for you where remote fishing is concerned. The most comfortable option is, of course, for you to go to a Canada fishing lodge. But you can also go camping on your own, or perhaps hire a guide to go with you. This is a good way to enjoy the countrys wilderness and commune with nature.
There are many benefits that can be had by going to a Canada fishing lodge. One of the best is that you get to spend time in an area where there are no internet connections or cell phone signals. This means you can truly relax and unwind away from the rest of the world. The beauty of the wilderness is an additional aesthetic bonus, plus the fact that most of your food will come straight from the water, thus ensuring that your meals always taste great.
When you do decide to go to a Canada fishing lodge on your next vacation, be sure to tell someone exactly where you are going and how long you will be gone. Remember that the key word to this trip is remote, which means you may not be easily reached through modern forms of communication. No one else will be responsible for your safety except yourself. You will therefore need to bring a first aid kit and a survival kit for the entire duration of your Canada fishing lodge trip. Happy fishing!
