David O'Doherty (MICF) – theatre review
David O'Doherty delivers lightning-speed patter both spoken and sung – the latter with the accompaniment of an old fashioned keyboard. His latest Melbourne International Comedy Festival show is You Have To Laugh at the Forum. The Irish comedian has been plying his trade for a couple of decades now.
O'Doherty won £1,000 as the best newcomer at the 1999 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Among the many stories he weaves into his hour-long stage appearance, is a hilarious tale about how he tried to bank the large paper cheque he received. he still uses that local bank branch to this day, and the ridicule still hangs over him.
O'Doherty has a canny way of turning the ordinary into the rib-ticklingly funny and the audience loved him for it. There was a lot of laughter in the room throughout. He's amusing from the get-go, when he appears beside a curtain, stage left, to introduce himself. Immediately, there is a quick aside about a personal ball tampering crisis that is, naturally, linked to the Australian cricket team.
The first of a handful of musical interludes concerns the crazy, mixed up world in which we live and how the best way to counter that is to laugh. As he puts it, "what is laughter if not happy screaming?" From the ridiculous to the absurd, he even manages to find a male thigh gap and give it a quick going-over as both physical and verbal comedy. His description of Brexit is priceless.
The fact that he plies his craft where both the Euro and the Pound are in use can lead to money change issues. He discusses keeping Frisbees full of coins and his own way of dealing with the problem. It involves transporting the coins in a very stretched out sock that all but becomes a lethal weapon.
O'Doherty has a dislike of acronyms, which I dare say came from the bullying he received as a kid when he was first presented with a pair of Adidas runners. He was sold on the idea that the name was a short form of either "After dinner I do a s**t" or "All day I dream about sex".
He marvels at the effectiveness of modern technology, but is totally bereft of ideas about how technology actually works. And then he launches into an explanation of the modern world to Leonardo da Vinci in Genoa in 1501, complete with a retort from Leo with Italian accent. Hilarious.
In an ever changing, fast paced world, David O'Doherty's comedy is front and centre. As he puts it so eloquently – it's time we got our s**t together. O'Doherty is performing You Have To Laugh at the Forum Theatre as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival till 22 April 2018.
He then plays at the Regal Theatre in Perth on 24 April, the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 25 April (and again on 3rd May), the Powerhouse Theatre in Brisbane on 26 April and at the Royalty Theatre in Adelaide on 2 May 2018.

New Jersey Ends October with a Rise in Gambling Revenue
The report cites sports betting and online gambling as the main driving force behind a double-digit increase recorded during the last month. The numbers also reveal that sportsbooks in New Jersey took home around $600 million in bets since wagering on sports was made legal four and a half months ago.
Numbers Going up across All Verticals
Total revenue from gaming reached $239.1 million, which represents an improvement of 15.8% when compared to the same month of 2017. Nine casinos operating in Atlantic City recorded $200.6 million in October, 8% more on a yearly basis. Revenue from internet gambling and revenue from sports betting both went up, reaching $26.8 million and $11.7 million respectively.
Back in May, the US Supreme Court overturned the controversial Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), effectively ending the federal ban on sports betting, which had been in effect for more than 25 years.
Such a decision allowed states to make their own decision on whether sports betting should be legalised or not. New Jersey was among the first to make betting on professional and college sports legal, launching legal operations mid-June. Other states soon followed, while the latest one was Pennsylvania, which accepted its first legal wager on November 15.
At this moment, nearly all of the state's nine casinos and two racetracks offer sports betting to their customers, while bets can be placed both at land-based sportsbooks and online. Since the launch of sports betting, the properties across the state recorded total revenue of $52 million. The state's brick and mortar sportsbooks accepted $296.4 million in bets since June, while $300.9 million was wagered online during the same period.
Online Leading the Way
Sportsbooks in New Jersey handled around $600 million ($597 million to be precise) in bets since wagering on sports was made legal, with $260 million in bets being processed last month alone. Football and baseball were the most popular among bettors, accounting for the vast majority of bets made during October.
The largest share of betting revenue was taken by Resorts' Digital Division – $16.6 million, while Meadowlands racetrack followed with $15.2 million.
One new name will soon enter the New Jersey sports betting market. That's DraftKing, the renowned operator of Daily Fantasy Sports, which has launched a brick and mortar sportsbooks in collaboration with Resorts Casino, its partner in New Jersey.
The new facility has opened its doors to new customers on November 20, and it is located off the casino floors, while customers are able to access it directly from the famous Atlantic City Boardwalk.
Resorts Casino and DraftKings started working together this summer, and their first joint venture was the launch of an internet wagering product, which went live in August.
The only two venues in New Jersey that don't have sports betting in their offer are Caesars and Hard Rock. However, this might change in the coming period, as the owner of Hard Rock has filed a request with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to be allowed to operate wagering on sports.

Though the passing into fall means getting closer to winter, some people might relish this passing thanks to a summer full of mosquitos. When the cooler temperatures arrive, most people believe that they no longer need to worry about getting bit, bugged, or exposed to the dreaded Zika virus. Unfortunately, mosquitos do not die off as soon as the first snowflakes begin to fly. Learning exactly what they do in the off-season can help you and your family prepare now to prevent a future mosquito hatching problem when spring arrives.
The Lifecycle Of The Mosquito
Unlike some of the other pesky insects of summer, mosquitoes do not simply die off during the colder months. The ways in which they survive the cold depends on the species. The mosquito that is responsible for transmitting the Zika virus is the Aedes aegypti. This breed overwinters in the egg stage. As the temperatures fall below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the adult females deposit their final batch of eggs in areas as shallow as a half-inch of water. The female adults eventually die, but the newly deposited eggs enter a stage that suspends their development during the cold months.
When the temperatures begin to rise, and the rainfall begins to increase in the spring, the eggs are re-submerged into the water and begin to hatch. This creates the next generation of the annoying Aedes mosquitos that will seek out humans for their food source. According to a recent study published in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, the most alarming thing about this breed is that these newly hatched offspring can be infected with the Zika virus
Mosquito Prevention
No matter where you live, it's important to take steps to avoid mosquito infestation in and around your home. Many of the same steps taken in the summer can be taken during the fall and winter. Equally as important is to avoid getting bit when you spend any amount of time outdoors. Follow these important tips to ensure mosquito safety:
- Inspect your property and get rid of any standing water that can become a breeding ground for mosquito eggs. Empty out your birdbaths, flowerpots, grill covers, and any area where water can collect.
- Unclog your home's gutters, repair leaky pipes and faucets outside the house, drill holes in the bottom of wheel barrels to allow drainage, and ensure trash cans are tightly sealed with lids secured.
- Apply an insect repellent that contains at least 20 percent DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon-eucalyptus when you spend time outdoors. This is especially important in areas that don't get much colder than 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure that you follow the directions on the label for any type of insect repellant.
Taking the steps to prevent mosquitos is important. Don't let these bothersome bugs take advantage of you this winter. Preparing now can give you the enjoyment you'll look forward to this spring.

Oh Rainy Day
September 2, 2001
I've been trying out VMWare on MadCow. Stormix installed but would not boot, RedHat stalled and Win98 is installing fine. I'm going to try RedHat again, I had to try 7.0 since I can't find my disk #3. I'm going to dig for that disk this weekend. I also have Debian and SuSE on the way. I've been wanting to try SuSE but haven't been able to. If it works under VMWare, then it should work on a normal system.
I'm typing this in Abiword .7 while Win98 is installing in another window. I'm not experiencing a slowdown and everything seems to work fine. Give VMWare 64mb of RAM and that leaves about 145mb for everything else. I'm going to use the VMWare Win98 for installing some software I didn't want to disturb my system with.
I have buttons and the general layout for the next version of this site. But I ran out of time. So next weekend will be the new site. I need to get everything passed through the BOBBY test and I also need to text the graphics. I'm using PNG for most graphics. I might have to setup a script for older browsers. I already have a script together for the text only version{.liinternal} of this site.
Well, Niki and I are going to finish registering at Target today. Should be fun….more later.

Planners should try to stay ahead of technology and embrace changes that will include driverless vehicles, and vehicles that share traffic and road conditions with each other.
(TNS) -- Regional planners should be flexible, innovative and adaptive as they develop transportation recommendations for the future.
That's the message the Regional Transportation Alliance and others interested in transportation heard Monday from experts at the Future of Mobility Forum.
The alliance presented panels at the Kelly Strayhorn Theater in East Liberty on autonomous vehicles and mobility options as a result of technological advancements, but many of the comments from the presenters were more general in nature and encouraged planners to try to stay ahead of technology and embrace changes that will include self-driving vehicles and vehicles that share traffic and road conditions with each other.
Joe McAndrew of Transportation for America, a Washington, D.C., agency that helps local communities with transportation issues, said self-driving vehicles and ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft will change the automobile-based society Americans have been used to for more than 50 years. Those changes will give communities "the opportunity to get things right that we got wrong before," such as street design, the location of housing and services closed to work areas.
Marshall Brown, an architect and urban designer working on the Driverless City project in Chicago, encouraged leaders to think about the results of transportation changes rather than just the changes themselves. For example, he said, it is important to plan how to reuse parking lots and garages if there are fewer vehicles to store.
Mr. Brown said planners need to show "a little bravura" to bring cost, safety and convenience together in the future transportation system. But he stressed that it is important that communities not innovate to the point that they seem empty.
"Show me a city without traffic and I'll show you an unsuccessful city," he said.
Among the innovations were two programs used by the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority in Florida. The authority last year lost a referendum for a public transit tax and has scrambled to provide service. One program it uses subsidizes Uber rides to get passengers to common transit stops and another gives riders 23 free Uber rides a month between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. to transport people with late-night jobs.
The transportation alliance was formed last year through the Allegheny Conference on Community Development to propose transportation improvements for the 10-county region. It is expected to submit recommendations by the end of the year as the first step to a regional plan.

Book Reviews
October 3, 2000
by Kay Kimbrough
Howard Bahr
Henry Holtn New York, 2000, $25.00.
Howard Bahr's first novel, THE BLACK FLOWER, which won the Harold D. Vursell Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters and which was A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Notable Book, takes place during and after the battle of Franklin, Tennessee. His second novel follows the experiences of Gawain Harper as he returns home to Cumberland, Mississippi, to find the town and the surrounding country in a dismal state: Defeat and deprivation would be enough to discourage Gawain, but he finds his home town in another Civil War, a war that must be settled before he can move ahead to restore his own life.
The novel opens with a twelve-year-old blind boy who lost his sight when he was five and who imagines a world more beautiful than the one he inhabits, a world based on imagined images that draw upon what he can remember from his early years. His imagination creates images of a visionary artist: "He had these things in his memory, but he had changed many of them to suit his own sense (snow, for example, was golden; fire was a weaving, threadlike creature of silver), and he had never accounted for his own growth, so the people, to Willy Landers, were gaunt, towering, and the rooms of his house were like great caverns."
The action that follows Willy's introduction is made more tragic by his sightless recording of what happens when a gang of vigilantes invade the yard to kill his parents and the family's dogs, burn his house and take him away to dump him on a hillside, disoriented and hearing his mother's voice calling him into the woods.
Willy's blindness and innocence set up a theme of tragic helplessness against the arrogance and insane will to power of "King" Solomon Gault, the leader of his own army he has formed to force his will on a town weakened by war, disillusionment, loss of loved ones and the need for revenge. Blindness is a condition that plagues men throughout the novel, both the good and the bad.
Gawain's love for Morgan Rhea has sent him to war, for her father told him that he could never have Morgan as his wife if he did not join up and fight against the North, the enemy. Gawain is reluctant to fight for a cause he questions, unable to see the point of the war. Again, he must be involved in a war, the local war, if he is to have Morgan. Willy's mother was Morgan's sister, and the family must avenge her death, with Gawain's help.
Gawain has had enough of killing. He had been a professor of literature at a girl's school before the war, a mild, sympathetic and idealistic man. He has been forced to kill so that he could live, and now he must involve himself in more death. After he has killed one man of Gault's army in self-defense, Morgan, who has just delivered a sermon on the futility of violence and pride to the men who support Gawain in his efforts to defeat Gault, re-acts with anger to him. He assures her, "I take no joy in it, if that's what you think." When she questions him, he thinks, "No,...I am not sure."
Finally, Morgan decides, "I think you must do what you must. I think I want it to be over with, so we can start again." Her words express the feelings of Gawain, giving him permission to fight in one more war, one he can feel justified in fighting.
The resolution of the conflict involves many characters vividly presented in a cross-section of humanity. Good and evil battle each other constantly, sometimes in the conscience of individual characters. The Civil War has changed many, and the local war continues to affect many. When it is over, the plot's threads are woven together into a balanced pattern, imperfect and worn, but good enough for life to move on for those who are still alive.
This novel explores the roots of violence and the source of good that overcomes it. It also provides a realistic view of life in the South at the end of the Civil War within an exciting adventure, a real thriller. Bahr's two novels are significant additions to Southern Literature in terms of his way with words, his characters, his dialogue and his understanding of human motivations. Watch for the acclaim that is certain to follow the latest.

I know a few other folk on here have or had them too.
Thanks for the reply Diachi, I'm collecting the unit tomorrow and at this point I'm not even sure it works I will know later on. As I've never seen one in the flesh I thought I would try and find a user manual to see how to use it, are they fairly straight forward to use or are they a tad clunky?
Any basic tips would be gratefully received.
Yeah, they're pretty straight forward. I never had a manual or anything for mine, just figured it out by playing around with it for a little while. Figured out enough to get some animations and text going at least. I'm sure there's other people on here that have used them more extensively than I did.

Should I use Home Equity to Pay off my Credit Card Debt?
If you've owned your home or a property for several years, it's very likely that it has equity. Furthermore, if your home or property has increased in value over the years then it definitely has equity and potentially quite a lot. When property has equity, the owner can use that equity to take out a loan to do with as they please. This type is referred to in several different ways: home equity loan, home equity line of credit, refinancing your mortgage and a second mortgage. All of these terms mean about the same thing; use your home equity to get the financing you need.
Since you spend a home equity loan or line of credit on whatever you want lots of people like to use it to pay off their high interest credit card debt. This is a controversial topic as many financial experts don't believe it's a smart idea to put your home on the line, simply to pay off consumer debt.
As everyone's financial situations are different, how you pay off your credit card debt really is a personal decision. But we still want you to have all the facts (is it ever a good time to tap into your home's equity?), the good and the bad, so you can make the best choice for your unique financial needs.
5 mortgage mistakes you should avoid when purchasing a new home.
What is Home Equity?
Home equity is the portion of your home or property that you actually own or the portion that you've paid off. If you took out a mortgage to purchase a home as most people do, then you don't quite own your whole house yet, you're still in the process of paying it off.
Here's how you can calculate how much home equity you currently have:
Value of Home – Remaining Balance of Mortgage = How Much of Your Home You Own
It's important to remember that not all lenders will lend you the total amount of equity you have in your home. There are of course other factors that play a role in determining how large of a home equity loan you'll be able to get. But it is without a doubt worth it to speak with the lender who currently holds your mortgage, to discuss your options.
How to Pay off Credit Card Debt with Home Equity
Step 1: Calculate your total debt
Typically those who want to pay off their debts with their home equity have more than one type of debt. High interest credit card debt is, however, the most common type of debt people tend to want to pay off. Your first step should be to calculate the total amount of debt you have, this number should include everything: car loan, student loans, credit card debt etc. You should also take note of the interest rates you're paying, it's important to figure out if any of your debts have lower interest rates than a home equity loan has.
Step 2: Figure Out How Much Equity you have
With the information we provided above, determine a rough estimate of how much home equity you have. You should consult your mortgage statement to find out how much mortgage you have left to pay and double check to see how much your home was appraised for. Now plug your numbers into the equation we gave you to calculate the equity you have in your home.
Keep in mind that once you go to your lender and apply for a home equity loan, they will likely want to reappraise your home to determine its value.

Step 3: Decide What Options is best for you
As we discussed before, there are a few different ways to tap into your home equity:
- Home equity line of credit
- Home equity loan
- Second mortgage (learn how to apply for a second mortgage in Canada)
All of these will allow you to pay off your high interest credit card debt; it's up to you to choose the one that best suits your needs. Whichever option you go with, your payments should comfortably fit into your budget.
Step 4: Pay Back Your Debts
Once you've been approved for your home equity loan you can use it to pay off all your debts. The most important thing you can do is to not accumulate even more debt because while you may not have any more credit card debt you essential now have two mortgages.
Advantages of Using Home Equity to Pay off Debt
- Interest rates are typically lower than most other types of loans
- Payment plans are usually flexible and can be customized to fit your needs
- You won't need to keep track of all your different credit card payments anymore
Disadvantages of Using Home Equity to Pay off Debt
- Your home must have some equity to put up in order to get approved
- In the case of a second mortgage there are usually a number of fees that need to be covered
- Banks can sometimes be tricky to deal with, especially when it concerns taking on a second mortgage. You should consider working with an alternative lender if you're having difficulty with your bank

Located in the heart of Andersonville, Illinois, the Swedish American Museum has been providing a glimpse into Swedish heritage to the most traditionally Swedish area of Chicago for over 40 years. Andersonville has long been known for its Swedish roots, boasting an active tourist population looking to purchase Swedish foods, gifts, and partake in Swedish holidays.
Today, the 24,000-square-foot cultural museum draws its own crowd. It includes a gallery with special art exhibits, "The Dream of America" exhibit, the Brunk Children's Museum of Immigration, a library, a genealogy center and a Museum Store. The entire facility is wheelchair accessible.
The goal of the Museum was to impart an appreciation of contemporary Swedish-American culture in both adults and children, while continuing a focus on the heritage of Swedish immigrants in the US.
"Preserving our different cultures create a more colorful and diverse society," Angelica Farzaneh-Far, Communications Manager for the Museum, said. "The Swedish American Museum is a place where people can learn about the story of immigration no matter what country their ancestors came from."
Farzaneh-Far also believes that the original immigrants still have a lot in common with those immigrating to the US today, making it all the more important for the community's youth to understand the struggles and complications faced by people who embark on immigrating to a new country.
Each year, the museum holds an annual benefit event to support the Swedish American Museum's operations and its ability to continue on as a significant cultural and educational institution. This gala has been a successful event since its inception over 30 years ago.
"The gala is a celebration of the museum, its community and friends, and their generosity," Farzaneh-Far said. "The gala is fashioned in a way that people renew their engagement to the museum each year."
According to Farzaneh-Far, the Swedes have a history rich with music and dance.
"This is most obvious during our gala where dancing is a highlight," she said.
In addition to showing their love for dance and music, the museum focuses on the youth of the community. Multiple cultural events are tailored specifically for children, giving parents a chance to introduce their children to a culture they perhaps grew up in but left behind. These events aren't just limited to children of Swedish decent, either.
"I believe that children who get to experience other cultures at a young age will be more welcoming, tolerant and open to new experiences," Farzaneh-Far said.
To ensure everyone is able to experience the cultural riches available at the Swedish American Museum, entrance fees are exceptionally affordable. Adults are $4.00; children and seniors are $3.00. A family rate of $10 is available. Children under the age of one and members of the museum are always free. Admission is free to everyone on the second Tuesday of every month.

African business leaders remain confident about the continent's prospects for growth despite believing the world economy is likely to remain stagnant economically.
This was one of several key findings in PwC Africa's 2016 Africa Business Agenda, which surveyed 153 African CEOs.
Nine out of 10 African CEOs believe they can deliver growth in the next three years, while 78% are confident there are opportunities for growth over the next 12 months.
Sharing many of the same concerns with their peers globally, respondents' top three concerns included exchange rate volatility (92%), government response to fiscal deficit and debt burden (90%) and social instability (80%).
African CEOs rank technological advances (75%), demographic shifts (52%) and a shift in global economic power (58%) as the top three defining trends likely to transform their businesses over the next five years.
The top priorities among the business leaders who were canvassed were diversification and innovation, addressing greater stakeholder expectations and leveraging growth catalysts such as technology, innovation and talent.
When it came to responding to wider stakeholder expectations, 62% of African CEOs cited additional costs to doing business as the main obstacle. This was compared to 45% in a comparable PwC survey of global CEOs.
Unclear or inconsistent standards or regulations (45%), and customers' unwillingness to pay (35%) were also cited as important factors.
When asked about which of these statements best described their organisation in terms of wider stakeholder expectations, 58% of African CEOs said "corporate responsibility is core to everything we do", compared to 64% of global business leaders.
Almost two-thirds of African CEOs are somewhat or extremely concerned about the lack of trust in business (compared to 55% worldwide). Almost nine in 10 respondents were concerned about corruption.
When asked which technologies generated most returns on investment in terms of connecting with stakeholders, the most popular was customer relationship management systems (69%) followed by data and analytics to interpret customer needs (56%).
Looking at investment prospects, Kenya (22%), the UK (16%) and the US (17%) remain the countries African CEOs view as most important for growth in the next 12 months.
