IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH VIOLENCE BEFORE THIS.... (STA BREAKING NEWS and ARCHIVES)
Officials are still piecing together this man's life. But in even at this early time, it looks like the shooter had a few problems and that this did not happen out of a vacuum.
Over the years, Hodgkinson has had multiple scrapes with local police and disputes with neighbors, records show.
Police most recently encountered Hodgkinson on March 24, when the St. Clair County Sheriff's Department received a phone call reporting about 50 shots "in the pine trees" in a lightly populated area near Belleville.
The deputy who responded found that Hodgkinson had a valid firearm license and advised Hodgkinson "to not discharge his weapon in the area." Hodgkinson apparently complied.
Federal agents are trying to track the purchase history of a rifle and a handgun involved in Wednesday's shooting.
In April 2006, police records show Hodgkinson went to a neighbor's house looking for his daughter and "used bodily force to damage" a wooden door upstairs. Witnesses said Hodgkinson forced his way into the home looking for his teenage daughter and grabbed her by the hair when he found her upstairs, according to a police narrative on file with St. Clair County Sheriff's Department.
His daughter escaped and got into the neighbor's car, but Hodgkinson opened the door of the car, pulled out a pocket knife and cut off the seat belt she was wearing, records show. Hodgkinson's wife joined him, struggling to pull out their daughter, as Hodgkinson punched the neighbor who was in the driver's seat of the car in the face, witnesses told police.
Later, Joel Fernandez, the boyfriend of the woman who was punched, went to Hodgkinson's home to confront him. He said Hodgkinson "walked outside with a shotgun and aimed it at Fernandez face," a complaint states. Hodgkinson struck Fernandez on the side of his face with the wooden stock of the shotgun and fired off one round as Fernandez ran away.
Police arrested Hodgkinson and his wife and charged them with domestic battery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, according to a narrative obtained by The Washington Post. Police also recovered a 12-gauge shotgun. The county clerk's online database shows the charges were later dismissed.
A few months later, police were called to an argument with a neighbor after Hodgkinson "accidentally struck her dog while it was sleeping in the roadway," record show. Hodgkinson made multiple complaints about neighbors damaging his lawn by driving through it.

The present invention relates generally to routing of data units through a communication network, and more specifically to a system for optimizing network-wide performance metrics when selecting from alternative routes within a deadlock-free set of minimum cost routes.
Routing is the process of determining the network links over which data, such as a packet or other specific type of data unit, is forwarded on its way through a network. Routing is performed by various kinds of data forwarding devices, sometimes referred to as routers and/or switches. A forwarding device that performs routing is typically connected to multiple communication links, and operates to select at least one of those communication links as an output link for each received data unit to be forwarded.
The series of network links between forwarding devices over which data units for a given destination are forwarded from an initial forwarding device to a final forwarding device is referred to as a "route" through a network. Traditional routing systems have generated routing information describing routes through a network that contain no loops. However, even where loop-free routes have been determined, network traffic flows can interact with each other to cause a problem known as "deadlock.". For example, deadlock can occur within a group of switches, each of which has buffers full of data, and cannot drop any packet from those buffers. Each of the switches in the group may be unable to forward its received data because the next forwarding device to which the data must be forwarded also has no available buffers in which to store the data.
In order to avoid deadlock, existing routing systems have been developed which provide deadlock-free sets of routes by either constraining the topology of the network itself, and/or by constraining the routes which may be taken through the network. For example, the topology of a network may be constrained such that the devices in the network are arranged as a grid. Given a grid topology, if all routes through the network are required to first traverse links horizontally as far as necessary, then vertically to the destination node, the network will be deadlock-free. Similarly, if a network topology is constrained to be a tree, which by definition includes no loops, that network will also be deadlock-free.
In a centralized approach to route generation for a network, a central forwarding device first obtains the complete topology of the network, for example by having each other forwarding device in the network report the neighbor nodes to which it is connected. The central forwarding device then calculates a deadlock-free set of minimum cost routes for the whole network, and stores routing information describing that set of routes within a routing table. Once computed, the routing information can be distributed as forwarding tables to all other forwarding devices in the network, thus informing each forwarding device of the neighbor device to which each received data unit is to be forwarded to, based on the destination of the received data unit.
One existing approach to determining a deadlock-free set of routes through a network is known as "up/down routing." In up/down routing, one of the forwarding devices in the network is chosen arbitrarily as the root node of a spanning tree for the network. All links within the network are then designated as "up" or "down" links with respect to the root node. The determination of an "up" or "down" state for a given link is based on the position of the link within the spanning tree. A link is "up" if it points from a lower to a higher level node in the tree. Otherwise, the link is considered a "down" link. For nodes at the same level, node IDs are used to break the tie. Routing of packets is performed such that any "up" links (towards the root) in the route are traversed before any "down" links are traversed (away from the root node) in order to reach the destination. Accordingly, once a "down" link has been traversed, no "up" links may be used within that route. This approach is one example of the various existing systems for producing sets of routes that are deadlock-free.
When the set of routes for a network is described by routing information stored in a centrally located routing table, that table may include information describing a number of alternative routes. Some existing systems have randomly selected from alternative routes stored in a central routing table prior to delivering routing information to individual devices. With such centralized selection, the individual forwarding devices in the network are sent forwarding tables that include forwarding information describing only the selected routes. Accordingly, individual forwarding devices such as switches within the network have no opportunity to perform load balancing across alternative routes in order to improve capacity.
In other existing systems, load balancing is addressed by distributing forwarding information that describes alternative routes. After receiving a forwarding table that includes such alternative route information, a forwarding device such as a switch may then independently distribute traffic across the alternative routes to provide load balancing. However, such distributed load balancing, performed independently by individual forwarding devices, is often constrained in its effectiveness by the limited information employed by each forwarding device when selecting between alternative routes. For example, a forwarding device in such a system may perform load balancing across alternative links in response to transmit queue depths for each of its various output ports. Such operation may not provide optimal load balancing on a network wide basis. Moreover, the above described existing systems typically do not perform any optimization with regard to fault tolerance when selecting from alternative routes.
These shortcomings are particularly important in many contemporary high-speed networks, in which performance goals such as optimizing traffic capacity and providing fault tolerance on a network wide basis are very significant. Accordingly, it would be desirable to have a system for selecting between alternative routes, prior to providing routing information from a forwarding table to forwarding devices in a network, that optimizes the selection between alternative routes based on significant network wide performance characteristics, such as traffic capacity and fault tolerance.
In accordance with principles of the invention, a system for selecting routing information to be provided to devices in a communication network is disclosed. In the disclosed system, a routing table is used to store routing information describing a deadlock-free set of alternative, minimum cost routes between end nodes within the network. The disclosed system operates to select and deliver forwarding information, for example in the form of forwarding tables, to a number of forwarding devices such as switches. The distributed forwarding information is selected from alternative routes within the routing table, in a way that optimizes for at least one network-wide performance metric. Performance metrics optimized in this way may include network-wide capacity and/or fault tolerance. In order to optimize for network-wide capacity, the disclosed system selects from alternative routes stored in the routing table such that the standard deviation of the number of routes flowing over each link in the selected set of routes is minimized. When optimizing for fault tolerance, the disclosed system operates to select routes from alternative routes in the routing table that have a maximum difference with respect to at least one other alternative route. The maximized difference may be calculated in terms of the number of dissimilar links between a selected route and at least one alternative route. In this way, should a failure occur, the probability of being able to successfully switch over to the unselected (or "failover") alternative route, in the face of failure of one or more links in the selected route, is improved.
The invention will be more fully understood by reference to the following detailed description of the invention in conjunction with the drawings, of which:
The disclosed system involves generation of routing information for a network of devices, such as the network of devices shown in
During operation of the devices shown in
Information within a routing table entry having indices Row_Index and Column_Index describes how a forwarding device associated with Row_Index should forward a data unit addressed to a destination end node associated with Column_Index. For example, considering the illustrative network of
For purposes of explanation, the term "routing" shall be used to refer to a set of routes for which there exists only one route for a given destination end node between an initial forwarding device and a final forwarding device. In other words, a routing is a set of routes that includes no alternative routes.
Accordingly, at any given time, the routing table 40 describes one "enabled routing", plus a number of alternative routes that may be substituted for routes in the enabled routing to generate alternative routings. When the disclosed system determines that an alternative routing is more optimal than the current enabled routing, then that alternative routing becomes the enabled routing. The forwarding tables distributed to devices in the network reflect a final enabled routing described by the forwarding table 40 following optimization for at least one predetermined, network-wide performance metric as further described below. Accordingly, the distributed forwarding tables include no alternative routes, thus simplifying operation of the forwarding devices when making forwarding decisions.
In the case where there are duplicate links between forwarding devices in the network topology, such links can be removed before generating the set of routes obtained at step 60, in order to reduce complexity. Such duplicate links can then simply be re-introduced and processed for purposes of load balancing in step 62. Advantageously, during step 62, duplicate links may then be exploited for load-balancing.
For purposes of explanation, each network link shall have two "end-points" consisting of the forwarding devices that it connects. For example, in the case where there exists two links connecting a forwarding device 1 and a forwarding device 2, then those duplicate links would have end points of forwarding device 1 and forwarding device 2. The term "flow" shall be used herein to refer to network traffic passed between a unique pair of end nodes. Accordingly, in a network including n end nodes, there would be n*(n−1) flows resulting from each end node being used as a source and as a destination.
In step 62, duplicate links are reintroduced and used to load-balance different flows going through the end-points of the duplicate links. The "flowset from forwarding device i to end node k", f_i(k), is a value equal to the number of flows passing through a forwarding device i and destined to an end node k. The "flowset vector of forwarding device i", f_i, is a vector of flowsets, the kth element of which is the flowset from forwarding device i to end node k. For a given network and routing table, at step 62 the illustrative embodiment organizes the flowsets for the enabled routing into a flowset matrix, such as the flowset matrix F 70 shown in
In order to perform load balancing across the duplicate links at step 62, the disclosed system employs the flow matrix F 70. For example, changing the kth element of the forwarding table for forwarding device i causes all the flows going to end node k through node i to go through a new link. Accordingly, the load of that new link will be increased by the value of f_i(k), and the load of the previous link will be decreased by the value of f_i(k). With this consideration, in order to distribute routes among duplicate links of two neighboring forwarding devices i and j, and assuming the flows to end node k traverse a link between forwarding device i and forwarding device j, the disclosed system operates to distribute routes represented by the flowsets f_i(k) and f_j(k) among the duplicate links such that the total loads on the duplicate links are as even as possible.
The disclosed system may be embodied to perform load balancing across duplicate unidirectional and/or bi-directional links. The disclosed system performs load balancing across unidirectional links by performing the series of steps illustrated in
Again with reference to
As shown by the steps in
At step 135, the disclosed system selects an alternative route from the choice-list. The selection at step 135 may be made in one of several ways. For example, an alternative route may be selected at random from the choice-list. In another approach, an alternative route may be selected at step 135 that has a minimum number of links in common with the corresponding route in the enabled routing. Still another technique that may be applied in the selection at step 135 would be to select an alternative route having links with very low current utilization as indicated by the corresponding values in LU. For purposes of illustration, a selected alternative route is considered that modifies the kth element of a forwarding table (row in the routing table) for a forwarding device i to indicate a new link l_alt to forwarding device fd_alt, that is to be used when forwarding data units destined for an end node k. Further for purposes of illustration, in the current enabled routing, the kth element of the forwarding table for forwarding device i indicated that data units destined to end node k were to be forwarded over link l_current to forwarding device fd_current.
At step 136, the disclosed system subtracts the value of F(i,k) in the flowset matrix F from LU(l_current) and F(fd_current,k). At step 138, the enabled routing in the routing table is modified to reflect use of the alternative route l_alt when forwarding data units destined for end node k from forwarding device i. Then, at step 140, the disclosed system adds the value of F(i,k) to LU(l_alt) and F(fd_alt,k). The standard deviation of link utilization is then calculated at step 142 based on the contents of the modified array LU. At step 144, if the standard deviation of link utilization using the selected alternative route is less than the standard deviation of link utilization using the previous, enabled routing, then the alternative route selected at step 175 is accepted, and the choice-list is updated by removing the selected alternative route and adding the previous route from the enabled routing. Otherwise, the selected alternative route is rejected, and the operations on LU, F and the routing table based on the alternative route are undone.
Instead of optimizing for network capacity at step 64 of
The disclosed system would operate to select from the above alternative routes to maximize the number of dissimilar links between the selected route and at least one of the remaining routes, which would be stored as a backup route. Accordingly, the disclosed system would determine that Alternative Route 1 and Alternative Route 4 have the most dissimilar links of any pair of the above alternative routes. The disclosed system may then select either Alternative Route 1 or Alternative Route 4 for inclusion in the enabled routing represented by the routing table, based on any appropriate criteria, or randomly. The other one of Alternative Route 1 or Alternative Route 4 would then be stored as a backup route. Upon detection of a failure of the selected route, the backup route could then be selected as a current route between the end nodes, with a relatively higher likelihood that the original failure would not be duplicated.
The disclosed system may operate to optimize network wide fault tolerance by comparing the fault tolerance of alternative routings. To do so, the disclosed system first determines the fault tolerance of each route in the routing as a percentage of dissimilar links between a selected route and at least one back up route. Where there are no backup routes for a given route, then the fault tolerance for that route would be zero. The fault tolerance for a given routing may then be determined as the average fault tolerance across all routes in the routing. The disclosed system then operates to select a routing with a higher network wide fault tolerance over a routing having a relatively lower network wide fault tolerance as the enabled routing in the routing table to be used as a basis for the distributed forwarding tables.
At step 152, the disclosed system selects an alternative route from the choice-list. The selection at step 152 may be made in one of several ways. For example, an alternative route may be selected at random from the choice-list. In another approach, an alternative route may be selected at step 152 that has a minimum number of links in common with the corresponding route in the enabled routing. Still another technique that may be applied in the selection at step 152 would be to select an alternative route having links with very low current utilization as indicated by the corresponding values in a utilization array LU as described above with reference to
At step 154, the routing table is modified to indicate that the alternative route selected at step 152 is part of the enabled routing. The fault tolerance of the network using the alternative route selected at step 152 is then determined at step 156 by first determining the fault tolerance of each route in the new enabled routing as a percentage of dissimilar links between the enabled route and at least one back up route, such that where there are no backup routes for a given enabled route, the fault tolerance for that route is zero. The network wide fault tolerance for the new enabled routing including the selected alternative route is then determined as the average fault tolerance across all routes in the new enabled routing. If the network wide fault tolerance is improved using the alternative route selected at step 152, then at 158 the selected alternative route remains in the enabled routing, and the choice list is updated by removing the selected alternative route and adding the corresponding route previously in the enabled routing. Otherwise, the selected alternative route is rejected, and the operations to modify the enabled routing in the routing table to reflect the selected alternative route are undone.
As described above, in the case of optimizing either network capacity or fault tolerance, the disclosed system may operate iteratively to determine more optimal routings until a limit N of unsuccessful attempts at improvement is reached. A large value of N tends to result in more optimal results, and a smaller value of N limits the time spent for the optimization. Other limits may also be used with respect to the optimization steps described herein. For example, the network capacity optimization described with reference to

Projects Fair "EU and Serbia in Action" - EU as the biggest donor in Serbia
19. March 2015. |
The Projects Fair funded by the European Union - "EU and Serbia in Action" - was held today in Belgrade, organised by the Delegation of the European Union in Serbia, in cooperation with the European Integration Office of the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the EU Information Centre.
The opening speeches were held by Head of European Investment Bank in Serbia, Ambassador Michael Davenport, Minister without Portfolio in charge of European integration Jadranka Joksimović, and Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Andreas Beikos.
The fair, which was organised for the media for the first time, included the presentation of 11 sectors and over 60 different projects which have been funded since 2000 and implemented in partnership with institutions of the Republic of Serbia. Projects presented at the fair included those from the field of health care, energy, environmental protection, education, social welfare, culture, media and civil society, justice and home affairs, local development, innovation and competitiveness, EU assistance to flooded areas in the country.
A new financial aid package from the EU pre-accession funds from the IPA 2014 budgetary year, in the amount of 189 million EUR, whose implementation is expected during this year, was also presented at the fair. Up to and including this financial package, EU has provided grants in the amount of over 3 billion EUR in Serbia since 2000.
In addition to donations from EU pre-accession funds, EU Member States have also provided significant grants. Since 2000, allocated bilateral donations from the European Union have exceeded 2.9 billion EUR.
The European Union is also the main creditor of Serbia's economy. Since 2001, Serbia has been receiving a significant support from the European Investment Bank (EIB) in Serbia, which has a large credit portfolio in Serbia. Since 2001, loans in the total amount of 4.3 billion EUR have been granted; out of which 2.9 billion EUR have been withdrawn (paid). EIB is financing the construction of highways, rehabilitation of national road and railway networks, renewal of old/construction of new schools, hospitals and cultural institutions, as well as providing support to the scientific community through a loan for the Research and Development programme.
The European Union has traditionally been the crucial and largest trade partner of Serbia, with a share of over 63% of its total import and export during the last two years. Since 2009, the export of Serbian products to the EU has grown by 125.5%.
The fair was attended by a large number of journalists from Belgrade and local media, representatives of the EU Delegation, various ministries and other state institutions, local institutions, end users of EU aid, representatives of civil society organisations and many others.
The workshop "Funding Opportunities and How to Write a Successful Project" was held for the journalists and it included a presentation of successful media grants.

Which came first, Mothering Sunday or Mothers Day? The British say that Mothering Sunday began as a Christian celebration dating back to the 16th century.
At that time, Mothering Sunday was a chance for those who worked in servitude to return home to see their families and attend church services in their hometown at their "mother church." This was referred to as "gone a mothering." The servants would usually pick flowers to display at their mother church and also gave flowers to their families.
The practice of Mothering Day gradually disappeared. Then a vicar's daughter, Constance Smith, from Coddington, Nottinghamshire, read an article about American activist Anna Jarvis who was trying to start a Mothers Day honoring mothers.
Ms. Smith pushed for a revival of Mothering Sunday. By 1938, it was being celebrated by Boy Scouts, Girl Guides and church parishes across the United Kingdom. By the 1950s, the holiday had been again established, this time with an emphasis on our mothers.
Basically, Mothers Day or Mothering Sunday is a day to give thanks for, and to, your mother. In the U.S. and Europe the date is always the second Sunday in May. This year Mothers Day is May 14.
The date for Mothers Day changes yearly because it is always on the second Sunday in May. While the day of the month is always the same, the date itself is not always the same. The following are some quotes about mothers. Perhaps one or more apply to your mother.
"A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie." -- Tenneva Jordan
"A mother understands what a child does not say." -- Jewish Proverb
"Sometimes, mothers say and do things that seem like they don't want their kids but when you look more closely, you realize that they're doing those kids a favor. They're just trying to give them a better life." -- Jodi Picoult
"Because even if the whole world was throwing rocks at you, if you had your mother at your back, you'd be OK. Some deep-rooted part of you would know you were loved. That you deserved to be loved." -- Jojo Moyes
"When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child." -- Sophia Loren
"A mother's arms are more comforting than anyone else's." -- Diana, Princess of Wales
This Mothers, Day instead of, or in addition to, the usual card or call, take a few minutes and write a short note to your mother and let her know a favorite childhood memory of her or a funny time you remember of a parent and child interaction.
Parenting is a hard job. Sometimes you wonder if you got it right. Let your mother know she did.
Happy Mothers Day to all mothers, and especially to Sarah.

text: A StORY ABOUT A REAL MAN 3Q1 place. To make them more comfortable they had covered the plank walls with cardboard and packing-paper. Still hanging on the walls were pin-ups of movie stars with rapacious mouths, and oleograph views of German towns. The artillery battle raged on. The earth quaked. Dry sand dribbled down the wallpaper, causing creepy, rust- ling sounds, as if the dugout were teeming with vermin, Meresyev and Petrov decided to sleep in the open on their capes. The orders were to sleep fully dressed. Mere- syev merely loosened the straps of his feet. He lay on his back, gazing at the sky, which seemed to quiver in the red flashes of the explosions. Petrov fell asleep at once, and in his sleep he snored, mumbled, worked his jaws, smacked his lips and curled up like a sleeping child. Me- resyev covered him with his greatcoat. Realising that he would not be able to sleep, he got up, shivering with cold, performed several vigorous physical jerks to get warm and sat down on a tree stump. The artillery tempest blew over. Only now and again a battery, here and there, reopened sporadic fire. Several stray shells swept over and exploded somewhere in the vicinity of the airfield. This so-called harassing fire usual- ly did not disturb anybody. Alexei did not even turn his head at the sound of the explosions; his gaze was directed towards the fighting line. It was distinctly visible in the darkness. Even now, at this late hour of the night, there raged an intense, unrelaxing, heavy battle, which was reflected on the sleeping earth by the red glare of im- mense conflagrations that had flared up along the whole horizon. Over it flashed the flickering lights of flares� the bluish-phosphorous German ones, and the yellowish ones shot into the sky by the Soviet troops. Here and there a huge tongue of flame leaped up, lifting the air- tain of darkness from the earth for an instant, and after it came the heavy sigh of an explosion. The drone of night bombers was heard and the entire front became ornamented with the multicoloured beads of tracer bullets. The shells of quick-firing anti-aircraft guns shot up like drops of blood. Again me earth trembled, moaned and groaned. The beetles that droned in tlie top� of the birch-trees were not disturbed by this, however; deep in the wood an owl hooted in a human voice, foreboding

Home / ITTT - Affiliations
ITTT has been providing TEFL and TESOL courses since the 1990s and during this time has developed relationships with many of the leading individuals, institutes and schools in the industry. We are committed to improving the standard of English language teaching worldwide and we only offer the highest quality courses. Below you will find some of our main affiliations and accreditations:
Fort Hays State University validates TEFL International certificates issued at all locations worldwide.
Located in Kansas, in the USA, FHSU has an enrolment of more than 13,000 students and offers hundreds of certificate and degree programs at the associate's, bachelor's and master's levels via 28 academic departments. More details at fhsu.edu.
Fort Hays State University completes regular Quality Assurance reports on the TEFL International TESOL certificate. Each course graduate receives a summary letter of this report from Fort Hays State University and all TEFL International graduates will have an option (for a $100 fee) to gain three credits and a transcript from FHSU.
Five-day combined courses are moderated by the Teacher Training Council.
The Teacher Training Council accreditation is an international learning and development body. Underpinning all that we do is the principle of 'Excellence via Competence'.
Training Issues has worked successfully for over 10 years with many enterprises throughout the world, helping them with a wide range of learning and development strategies, assessment and accreditation. As a result, the Training Issues team have built an enviable reputation for high standards and quality, customer experience excellence and getting it right first time.
During this time, over 90% of the work that Training Issues has been involved in has been with personnel whose first language is not English. In one recent accreditation project alone, we needed to take account of 8 separate Asian languages when carrying out our accreditation work. Thus, over 10 years plus, the majority of materials and documentation designed, developed and accredited has been geared specifically to those who use English as a second or foreign language.
As a result of our lengthy experience gained in accrediting international courses with an extensive ELT content, and accrediting Training companies, we now feel that we should also offer this accreditation service to independent TEFL/TESOL Providers who are willing to meet the high accreditation standards set by Teacher Training Council.
All ITTT online TEFL courses are fully accredited by the Online TESOL and TEFL Standards Agency. OTTSA is a professional educational organization that is dedicated to raising standards within the teacher-training industry, specifically online courses in Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
Our in-class tefl certification courses are externally validated and moderated by a Board of Academic Advisors. This board includes several internationally recognized experts in the field of EFL teaching, as well as dozens of regional experts in language teaching and teacher training. Both international and regional members regularly advise the staff at our teacher training centres worldwide.
The international members of the board regularly visit our centres worldwide and participate as keynote speakers at national teacher training conferences and workshops. They also provide us with advice on the quality of our training programs and how our programs can be adapted to keep pace with the growing trends in language teaching. Our international board members are not moderators, but industry experts that advise our centres and participate in teacher training initiatives.
Our regional board members are trained specialists with more than five years' experience in teacher training and managerial positions. Regional members visit our centres monthly to moderate each course and to ensure that it is of a high quality and meets the required industry standards, as well as to ensure the satisfaction of our trainees. A regional board member is not a staff member, but rather a paid external consultant that moderates our courses monthly by visiting our centre in the region where they have a detailed knowledge of the local industry needs. The regional moderators meet with training staff and course participants; review course participants' work and check that the centre's resources are of the required standard.
ITTT is an institutional member of IATEFL. IATEFL is one of the most thriving communities of ELT teachers in the world. Its mission is to "Link, develop and support English Language Teaching professionals worldwide". With its global reach, IATEFL encourages teachers of English around the globe to share ideas and philosophies via regular newsletters and conferences. Our IATEFL membership number is 16020.

Blackjack has been around for so long, its exact origins are unclear. What is clear is the fact that it remains one of the most popular options at the casino both online and land-based for its fast-paced action, ease of play, and massive, worldwide accessibility. Odds & Chances has the basics to get you playing, and the strategies to take it to the highest level.
The Intro
The player places chips on the table to start the game. The Dealer gives the player two cards and himself two cards, one face up and one face down. The object of the game is to have a hand value closer to 21 than the Dealer's without going over. The number cards are face value, the face cards Jack through King are worth 10, and the Ace is worth one or 11, depending on which makes the stronger hand. Each card in an individual hand added together determines the total hand value.
Blackjack, Payouts, and Insurance
An automatic win is awarded if an initial hand is valued at 21, which is known as a "Blackjack." While beating the Dealer will result in a 1 to 1 payout on your wager normally, a Blackjack usually pays out 3 to 2. If the player and Dealer tie, this is known as a "Push" and the wager is returned to the player. If insurance bets are permitted, a player can bet half their wager that the Dealer is holding a Blackjack if the face-up card is showing an Ace. If they're not, the additional half wager is lost and the game moves forward.
Hit, Stand, Split, & Double Down
If the player and the Dealer are both dealt a hand other than a Blackjack, the game continues. The player can be "Hit" with as many cards as they like until they choose to "Stand," which means the player receives no additional cards, deciding their final hand. If the player is dealt a pair of the same card, they can "Split" those cards, making an additional hand, though an additional bet equal to the original is required to cover it. The player can also choose to double down, wherein they double their bet and receive only one additional card, making their final hand.
Blackjack Terminology
- Blackjack: A two-card hand valued at 21
- Bust: A hand with a higher value than 21
- Push: A tie between the Dealer and the player
- Hit: The choice to receive an addition card
- Stand: The choice to make the current hand your final hand
- Split: Separating two of the same cards into two separate hands
- Surrender: Forfeit the game and lose half the bet
- Soft Hand: A hand that contains an Ace
- Hard Hand: A hand that does not contain an Ace.
- Blackjack Chart: A grid detailing the best next move in correspondence with the card the dealer is showing and the player's hand value

Tech Today: Xbox One X unveiled by Microsoft
Microsoft has unveiled the latest games console in its line-up, a more powerful version of the Xbox One called the Xbox One X.
The tech giant touted the machine's specs, including its ability to run games in 4K ultra-HD, ahead of the E3 games show in Los Angeles.
To be released on November 7th, the Xbox One X will cost US$499.
One analyst said Microsoft was keen to keep attracting hardcore gamers.
The system, which also runs games at 60 frames-per-second (fps), was labelled "the most powerful console ever made" on stage by Phil Spencer, head of Xbox.
It is also the smallest Xbox yet.
It joins the Xbox One S – a slimmer version of the Xbox One that supports 4K video streaming.
Sony, too, has a console with 4K capabilities – the PS4 Pro – which it released in November last year.
However, the PS4 Pro's specifications – including memory and processor speed – are lower than those of the Xbox One X.
Both consoles can "scale up" games not made at 4K resolution to enhance their visuals.
The Xbox One X's name raised a few eyebrows, with some gamers describing it as a "tongue-twister" online.

Hope Frost's Reviews > At Peace
At Peace (The 'Burg, #2)
by Kristen Ashley (Goodreads Author)
by Kristen Ashley (Goodreads Author)
Hope Frost's review
Jun 17, 2012
Read in June, 2012
The more I read Kristen's books, the more I love her. Joe was hard to love at first, and when his skeleton's start to show and you find out why he is the way he is, you can't help but fall madly in love with him. Then when he falls for not only Violet, he falls for her kids, I wanted to jump in the book and give him a big fat hug. Getting to see friends from the first Burg book was also a bonus. My only negative about this book is that the editing was pretty bad. Can't wait to read the 3rd.

FRANKFURT ODER, Germany (Reuters) - German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Wednesday France's president-elect Emmanuel Macron was facing "terribly difficult" decisions and his proposals, including for a joint euro zone budget, would require changes to the EU treaties.
Speaking at an university in the east German city of Frankfurt Oder, Schaeuble added: "France is so big and strong that its first thoughts need not be about who can help it."
Schaeuble said Macron's proposals for a euro zone finance minister and a joint euro zone budget were unlikely to happen due to the required treaty changes.
He had therefore suggested, as the second-best option, the further development of the euro zone's European Stability Mechanism (ESM) rescue fund into a European monetary fund.
Turning to the European Central Bank's monetary policy, Schaeuble said: "For the competitiveness of the German economy, the ECB's monetary policy currently is maybe a little bit too loose. For other euro zone countries, it's not too loose."

There is such a thing as a free cell phone reverse directory but the thing is, you only get to see the cell phone number realized that all those wireless phone number directories were offering different services I decided to go for the one that gave me more results. There are cheaper and more reliable ways to find a you may be able to find what you are looking for. Some are free and you can be happy, but if you really need no problem telling you that the question can be found on their help forum. All in all, you're going to either lose papers sometimes with very important information on them or maybe not prank calls or unrecognized calls from a cell phone or unlisted number.
Of course, all of these techniques then put you on the "be allows you to transfer your phone number to another carrier, until the new carrier is still in its place.

Is there a naming convention policy? It seems like it's just anything. I've seen combined names (Phinbella) and dual names (PhineasxIsabella, Phineas/Isabella). I think to keep it more professional-looking, there should be a simple way that all articles should be written and titled. I suggest the simple "X and Y relationship" for the titles. Dooby Dooby Doo-Bah A-Gent-G! Ask me how to stop shipping! 00:47, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
I know. Edit
I've been trying to figure something out myself. In my mind we should put the name of the ship (PhineasxIsabella: Phinbella) if there has already been a name decided. But if there has not been a decided name (BufordxCandace) then we just put it as so. Our goal is to make every page easy to access. And BufordxCandace would not be reached if one put CandacexBuford. This could also lead to many double pages. Girl U. Dontno 00:56, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Almost every pairing has 2 names, depending on the person, so it's not official and there is no "decided" name. I suggest putting the full names. Maybe the names in alphabetical order. (Buford/Candace, Doofenshmirtz/Perry, Candace/Jeremy, Isabella/Phineas) You can use redirects. If someone searches for Candace/Buford, it'll redirect them to the Buford/Candace page. Redirects could also be used if someone searches Ferbnessa, it'll take them to the Ferb/Vanessa page. The article on each page should have information, you can say what it's also known as, like Dooferry and Perryshmirtz. -MooMoo {talk} 02:16, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Yes. We should put the names in alphabetical order when doing the NamexName pages. But I still think it'd be more official if we put the name most frequently used. 'Perryshmirtz' is the name that I hear most often for it. Girl U. Dontno 02:28, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
- What's official and what's popular are different things. Name debates will cause arguments and people might start to move pages even more (a bit like now) Full names also help new people realize who the two people in the pairing are. I know I was confused bit when I first came across Phineas and Ferb -MooMoo {talk} 02:34, January 2, 2011 (UTC)\
- Rules are rules. Remember, this is a fansite. So articles do not have to be %100 correct. Please, except this answer. Girl U. Dontno 03:44, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
- Rules may be rules, fansites may not always be 100% correct, but they should try as hard as possible to be so. I'm going to have to agree with MooMoo. I also don't think this wiki should be in the hands of someone who can't spell "accept" correctly. Dooby Dooby Doo-Bah A-Gent-G! Ask me how to stop shipping! 07:03, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
Now I will not have that! Just because my grammar isn't completely correct does not give you permission to diss me. Rules ARE rules and I am ending this conversation. I try my best to make this wiki run smoothly, but if you cannot accept me as leader, maybe you shouldn't be here at all. Girl U. Dontno 23:58, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
- I am accepting you, I was simply pointing out one grammatical error and I apologize if my joke seemed like an insult. I know rules are rules, but rules can change. And no one is really the "leader" of a Wiki. It's a community effort to keep the place running smoothly, though admins enforce the rules and make them. However, MooMoo and I are very experienced users and we are just giving suggestions to assist you in running this place smoothly. "Phinbella" is a common term, but not the only one. I've seen mentions of Phinabella, Phinebella, Phisabella, IsaxPhineas, and many others. People will move the pages to their preference if you choose to do it this way. If you have a neutral, easy-to-understand way of saying things, that is always the best. I am the terror that flaps in the night! Let's Get Dangerous!!! (Unless they find out where we live or can't afford it...)
- I except your apology and I agree that no one is really the leader of a wiki, but someone IS the creator. Right now I think we should just wait and see what happens. I know you're more experienced than me and you are probably right. But right now lets just hang low. We'll discuss things later. Girl U. Dontno 10:31, January 4, 2011 (UTC) End of conversation.
- As much as I'd like to end this conversaqtion, I must tie up the loose ends that have been bugging me for the last two days. Hanging low isn't the best idea for a new Wiki. What you want to do is fly high so more people will see the wiki and come to it. However, if they come and see the current titles of our articles, they'll think that this is an unprofessional wiki and leave immedietly. But, if we at least make our titles sound sophisticated and unbiased, then we'll get more users and therefore become a big wiki. Another thing, when a new wiki comes along, it's best to discuss these types of things as soon as possible. You see, if we can set the foundation of a wiki early, we can continue to stay powerful into tomorrow. Dooby Dooby Doo-Bah A-Gent-G! Ask me how to stop shipping! 04:21, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
*Sigh*... listen, I told you this was the end of the conversation. I don't care if it doesn't get big out there right now. Since the "Under Construction" message is still there. I'd like to get some more information down in the articles first. And actually, I know A LOT of people would be disappointed if the article was called "IsabellaxPhineas" instead of Phinbella. Again, we are not shooting for professional, here. We are aiming for what Fans want to call it. And right now, Phinbella has the highest vote. If people leave because they think it is, as you say, "unprofessional", then why did they come here in the first place? Shipping isn't supposed to be professional. It's supposed to have problems and quirks, so much that it's fun. FOR THE LAST TIME, I WOULD GREATLY SUGGEST NOT RESPONDING TO THIS! Girl U. Dontno 23:32, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Up until 2 weeks ago, I'd lost interest in whatever Djent band was being thrown out of whatever country. After going over every djent band I had encountered, I've noticed that there is little to no variation between most of them. Yes, that's right, it's only been 3 years and already the entire genre has started to stagnate (where's TesseracTs debut, eh?). I've been following the major bands like TesseracT and Textures who have gone under some change since their conceptions as is the way of 'artist/music maturation'. However, other bands like Fellsilent, Veil of Maya and *retch* Structures... Have already started to base the idea around metalcore and deathcore (rather than the other way round which is what the intention is) which are both already wearing out their presence. I can't really say anything bad about the musicianship (you'd have to be superfeaks of science to play most of it), but whoever thinks jumping on the newest bandwagon with the same idea as everyone else is groundbreaking probably doesn't deserve recognition.
In come those crazy Dutch. Textures have already made a name for themselves by setting a sort of template for it all. Now there's Cilice. What's been lacking in Djent bands is room for passion or soul, key ingredients in any music. It's a showcase of rhythm and mathematics which is monotone and naturally repetitive. Cilice shows that this is the closest we are going to get to fuse the two together.
To begin with, compared to most djent/prog bands, Cilice isn't the most technically proficient band in this wave. The rhythms employed are rather simplistic and are easily layerable on a 4/4 rhythm, which is still a feat in itself when trying to reach the heights of 23/16. But it's because of this somewhat simplicity that makes you focus on the atmosphere conveyed through the every shifting guitar patterns, melodies and vocal skyrocketing.
A deranged head-trip indeed. Cilice use rhythms that, although easy to follow, when piled all together totally spin your mind. The SikTh-esque switch from vocal style to vocal style and the naturally occurring groove from the rhythms just give make listen, either out of compulsion or intrigue. A song to really try sample this sound is the aptly named 'Mental Breakdown'. While all suitably chaotic at one end, it's possible to find moments of transcendent calm here and there.
There are all the usual flaws, as with every new djent band. In this case it seems to be the unbalanced feeling between melody and the riffs. Listening to Meshuggah with an actual talented singer and not a growly/screamy type is not a concept meant for human ears. It's like two polar opposites colliding in an awkward tumble. While Cilice do both ends of the spectrum well, it's still a way off from fusing the two successfully.
Lyrics — 7
Djent bands either have very talented vocalists or very unremarkable ones. For example, Textures has (or had) one of the most diverse vocalists in metal music. Where-as on the other hand, Fellsilent tried ripping off SikTh with the two vocalist/both scream, one sings approach and are not even comparable to the worst of screamo bands.
Cilice has the closest replacement for Textures. Whoever the guy is, he has a massive vocal range in any respect, growls to screams to Christian Alvestam levels of pitch. The band knows when to use his talents for the right moments and when to keep which style at the right level. His use of the lyrics sound good, they sound like a finished product rather than a rushed afterthought.
I can't really comment on the lyrics (CD copy hasn't arrived yet and the internet is useless) but from what I can tell, they fit the general theme of 'Deranged Head-trip' and song names like 'Left hemisphere/Right Hemisphere', 'Mental Breakdown' and 'Psychotic Mindwarp' give enough hint.
Overall Impression — 9
If I could describe a comparison with bands for Cilice, it would be a combination of SikTh, Textures and possibly Killswitch Engage for a vocal influence... but as a whole, Cilice is unique for the genre.
Production wise, it's pretty much what I'd like as a standard for Djent. The guitar tone is trebly but not tinny and jagged, the bass is audible and complimentary and the drums have a fantastic tone. Mixing is again, fantastic.
If I had one thing to hate, it would just be the confused feeling that this album leaves you at the end. The constant switch (and fusion) between melody and heaviness messes with your brain for a while. But maybe it's because of that feeling that I really like it as a whole as well. Another thing to point out, which didn't really affect me much, is that the album is very short, only 36 minutes for a full album, but a 36 minute head spin is enough, right?
Songs to look out for: 'God of Lies', 'Left Hemisphere', 'Right Hemisphere', 'Mental Breakdown', 'Malice' and 'Psychotic Mindwarp'.
