Emotional Intelligence
Children who know the various range of emotions we all feel, are better able to communicate those feelings to others and that makes them emotionally intelligent. They are those who are able to express themselves in a way that someone else can relate to them and seek help if it is needed.
Having knowledge of our range of emotions, can also serve us best by being sensitive to what others feel. This will allow you to show empathy if needed or join in heartfelt laughter with another. Children who are well aware of what it is they feel and how to communicate that feeling will be more mindful when they perceive that someone else feels the same way.
They are more likely to show sympathy for their peers and show them support if that is required. Without actually telling them verbally children will learn that there are times when you need to be empathetic towards others and there are times when empathy will be shown to you.
These preschool feelings-themed activities will help your students to understand what are the different emotions we have and how to express them in a way to communicate them to others around us.
Everybody Has Feelings
The book, "Everybody Has Feelings" is said to be one that most children will simply adore. It is described as having photos in black and white of children in various settings, expressing their emotions. These photos show the children that we all have feelings for different reasons, but we are unique in what happens to bring them about.
Here is part of an excerpt from a reader's review:
"I loved the footage of kids who lived in a different setting than what I saw daily."
The photos aren't the only exceptional aspect of this book, it is also written in Spanish. It holds photography within its pages that actually show children expressing themselves in numerous ways. This will help the child remember the emotional cause and their effect while they go through the following suggested feelings-themed activities.
Feelings & Emotions Activities
- As an intro activity, have them all sit in a circle while you discuss the four major feelings or emotions we experience in our lives. Have them begin the sentence, "I felt________, when_________" Your preschoolers should express the emotion first and what caused them to feel that way. They can use any that we can feel, but it is suggested that you have them pick from one of these four: happy, sad, mad, scared, which can be written on chart paper for them to see.
- While reading the book, Everybody Has Feelings, have the children mimic the faces shown in the pictures and ask what the person may be thinking. Have them tell what they feel is going on in the picture.
- You could have the children draw a scene for a fictional character expressing their emotions, by using drawing paper and crayons. After they have created their character, have them stand in front of the class and introduce the drawing, telling the story of what made their character feel this way.
- Another activity, is to have the children sing the song:
If You're Happy and You Know It
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands
You may replace with: Stomp Your Feet (for angry) and Say Boo Hoo (for sad)
- Have the children practice making the range of emotions as a group, while incorporating some silly ones like laughing, shocked, bored, sorry even make a silly face to keep it light at the end.
- Give examples or fictitious short stories of situations, then allow the children to tell you what they would feel at the end of the given scene.

Knoll Regeneration Desk Chair Made of Corn, Soy, and PET Bottles (Review)
I'm slightly afraid to even do a review of an office chair on TreeHugger -- where staff have full-on embraced the standing desk movement (or, anti-sitting movement, as you wish). Mike says a standing desk changed his life and Lloyd has been raving about them for years.
Plus, it seems every week there's a new study released suggesting sitting is slowly killing us: Most recently, one suggests that I, as a woman who regularly exercises, sits just as much as women who are more sedentary. Great.Evaluate how much you sit with this handy tool.
But while I do plan to try out the standing desk, I suspect there will be times when I will just need to sit. A perfect world would include both workspace options. Until then, we have the ReGeneration office chair from Knoll, which I had the pleasure of trying out this fall.
Designed by New Zealand's Formway Design this office chair is overflowing with eco cred -- but you would have absolutely no idea looking at it. This, I believe, is essential for a mass-market release, so Knoll earns major bonus points here. But then again, Knoll is a major player when it comes to office systems and has been rolling out high-quality office furniture for decades, so this shouldn't come as a surprise.
Eco Low-Down
- flexible back netting employs rapidly-renewable materials derived from corn byproducts the chair is 2% rapidly-renewable by weight
- 44% to 48% are recycled materials, including high postconsumer recycled content from plastic water bottles in the frame and arms
- upholstery foam uses biobased content derived from soy
Says Paul Wilkinson of Formway Design:
It is very, very important that we have the whole environmental perspective on the whole project so it's not just about recycled content. It's also about shipping efficiencies it's about what happens to the product at the end of life. So ensuring that throughout the process it's very much holistic is the idea of environmental performance in the product.
The Assembly
While I am a fairly tech-savvy person, don't ask me to program the remote. This chair came to me fully assembled -- but Knoll says it breaks down in to two parts, easily connecting at the base (I have yet to figure that out).
The few gears it has are easily to wrap your mind around. Arm rests raise a good six inches thanks to a side lever. These also move a few inches towards you or away -- depending on how you want to rest your elbows. Beneath the seat, a lever on the right makes height-adjustment a breeze and a lever on the left pulls the seat forward or back. All were self-explainable after a few minutes of exploration.
I also didn't experience that slow sink or rapid height change with abrupt movements that some office chairs (embarrassingly) seem to come with.
WeightSince the chair weighs less than 30 pounds, it was easy to hike it up six flights of stairs to my apartment and less carbon is consumed with shipping.
Knoll says:
ReGeneration has seven major parts, requires 10 standard screws for assembly and weighs just 26 pounds—37% less material and 11 pounds lighter than the Generation chair, which itself is approximately 20% lighter than most high performance chairs.
ComfortIn his review for Wired, Michael Calore gushes about the optional lumbar support found on the back. My chair didn't come with that, but I wish it did, as the back as is seems a bit too flexible to my liking. Yet as a serial lean-in-over-the-desk slumper, I do feel the chair forces me to sit in a way beneficial to lumbar support. With my back pressed against the netting, my back is straight and my feet are planted on the floor. I'm 5'5 -- but the chair seems to have plenty of room on either end to suit smaller or larger folks.
As I tend to roll around a fair amount while I work -- to grab the phone, put a book away etc. -- I pay particular attention to wheels. Regeneration passes the roller test with flying colors, offering a nice smooth ride.
Like to lean back on put your feet on your desk? This chair is not for you.
I have no complants about the seat cushion at all -- it's supremely comfortable, and it allowed me to do away with the pillow I've used for years.
Regeneration has a nice slim silhouette, but it would be more at home in a corporate office than surrounded by teak mid-century modern Danish furniture, as it now is. I wish the frame was white instead of dark gray, but at the moment color options are limited to the back netting and the seat cushion.
OverallThis is a solid, comfortable high-quality office chair with a relatively low price point compared to similar offerings and other Knoll desk chair releases. On the green front, it is lightyears away from what's on the market -- and manufacturers should take note and imitate.

These personalized frames are super cute and easy to make!
What you'll need:
1. Wooden frames
2. Paint
3. Stickers to create your design
4. Sponge brushes
To make the "Love" frame you will need to do the following:
Step 1: Place your sticker design directly on your unpainted frame.
Step 2: Once your stickers are secured, begin to paint your frame. Be sure to use light pressure when painting over your stickers. I also made sure to paint away from the edge of the stickers to help avoid any paint from seeping under them.
* Don't forget to paint the wooden stand or stick that comes with the frame!
Step 3: Once all the sides of the frame are completely dry, use a razor blade to slowing peal up each sticker.
That's it! Now you have a decorative/personalized frame!

WASHINGTON — Hurricane damages to farm-related industries will cost more than $2 billion and could increase food prices, according to estimates by American Farm Bureau Federation.
The impact is rippling throughout agriculture. Hurricane Katrina flattened and drenched southern crops such as sugar cane and cotton. Its winds destroyed chicken houses and the flocks inside.
Those losses "may be the tip of the iceberg," said Terry Francl, economist for Farm Bureau, which is the nation's largest general farm organization.
Farm Bureau said a conservative estimate is that direct damages to crops and livestock will rise above $1 billion. Indirect costs, such as increased shipping rates and fuel prices, also will reach at least $1 billion, the group said.
Food prices could rise slightly, mainly because of higher energy costs.
"Energy prices were up quite a bit beforehand, but certainly this hurricane is really emphasizing the problem," Francl said.
"Farmers only get 20 cents on average of the food consumer dollar," he said. "The other 79 or 80 percent goes to processing, packaging, shipping and distribution of food. Those are all going to be affected by energy prices."
Chicken prices might remain stable, Francl said, even though most chicken slaughter facilities in Mississippi, which accounts for about 10 percent of the nation's chicken production, were knocked out of operation. Broiler production had been increasing nationwide before the hurricane, he said.
Farmers in the region will get help paying loans from the government, the Farm Credit Administration said Friday. The government can extend loan terms, restructure debt, ease requirements for documentation or take other steps to make loan repayment easier.
"The hurricane will have long-term effects on agriculture across the nation and in rural America," said Nancy C. Pellett, FCA board chairman and CEO.

So one Sattidy night about two weeks into the revival in Las Animas, Grady Smith and Hank Morton from over th'other side the river, over to'rd Fort Lyon, made it up atween 'em to go over to Animas an' bust up Preacher's meetin'. Now, ever'body know Grady could whup anyone in Bent County, and Hank was his toady, would do whatever Grady tol' him to do. So they get onto they cow ponies and ride on over to the tent. Now Preacher had a wonderful meetin' that night, the music had plum warmed the people into a most receptive frame a mind, and Preacher know this harvest was ripe to reap. He was givin' 'em low-pocka-hirem, gettin' ready to thrust in the sickle, so to speak, when Hank and Grady bust into the side a the tent on they hosses, Grady from Preacher's right and Hank from his left, and rid them hosses right up onto the platform. They did. Grady leap out the saddle and drop the reins. "This here meetin'," he shouted, "is over! And I'ma whup you, Mr. Preacher Man."
Partlow raise both hands, palms out toward the crowd and cry, "Folks, just hold your seats and put on a Lord's measure of patience. I am going to step out back of this tent with this youngster for just a few seconds, and I'll be right back." Grady roared with laughter, and Hank, still aboard his pony, said, "Like hell."
Now Grady was a hoss his own self, six-three and prolly went two thirty. Preacher mought a weight one fifty-five, but he'd have to be plum dressed and plum wet to make 'er. Preacher step offa the platform and out back the tent with Grady right on his heels. Miz Partlow step to the platform and in her angelic voice start singin' "When We All Get to Heaven." Preacher turn to face Grady, Grady tuk a roundhouse swing with his left, which Preacher duck quicker'n I can tell it and come up with a right widow-maker smack! into the bottom side Grady's chin, whilst he bury his left in his gut. Grady hit the ground, out like a campfire in a hail storm, just as Noreen was hittin' the strains of "what a day of rejoicing that will be!"
Preacher step through the tent-flap onto the platform, raise both hands again, said, "Thanks be to God! Now, all you sinners come to Jesus now!" And they done it. And Hank Morton on his knees with 'em. There was a stringer there thet night, and the La Junta Tribune-Democrat reported they was forty-seven people confessed Christ as they savior!

In fact the storing of the dry coconut is easy than the fresh one. I made use of one entire dry coconut for making this chutney powder. My mom makes the same powder using fresh coconut and prepares it in small quantity every time as it has very less shelf life. If you don't have dry coconut, you can use fresh grated coconut. Make sure to perfectly dry roast it without any moisture. Also, store in refrigerator for long shelf life.
Preparation and Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 2 cups, approximately
Dry coconut - 1 no, finely chopped (yielded 1 and 1/2 cups)
Urad dal - 1/2 cup
Channa dal - 1/2 cup
Dry red chillies - 6 nos
Salt - to taste
Garlic - 3 cloves, medium size
1) Dry roast urad dal and channa dal till it releases nice aroma and turns golden brown.
2) Roast dry coconut slightly just to make them crisp. You can alternately sun dry them for 2-3 hours.
3) Allow all the roasted ingredients to cool to room temperature.
5) Add garlic cloves and salt towards the end of grinding. Taste the powder and adjust the salt if required.

Historic Hudson Valley is known throughout the state for hosting spectacular events all year round. For the last two years they have started a new tradition, similar to their infamous The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze that is hosted every fall.
Lightscapes which is held on the same historic site- Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson-
is a visual delight that kicks off spring in a very unique way. Using recycled goods to create a fairy like atmosphere you will wonder through the grounds on a guided trail and see what was created from supplies that could have just as easily ended up at a county dump.
As you enter the event you walk under a gorgeous rainbow and are greeted with bubbles flying through the air- and colored shadows of the crowd on a tarp. You are encouraged to strike a pose and experience the effects of the playfully colored lights before you enter the main event which really takes your breath away.
Milk and water jugs make a field of flowers that would rival Dorothy's field of Poppy's. All aglow in a multitude of colors. Bowling pins take flight as ducks and plastic is turned into running water that flows amidst fork and spoon dragonflies.
Honest to goodness I would not have believed how simply magical it was until we were witnessed it with it with our own eyes. The pictures although beautiful do it no justice. The music as well transported into this truly enchanted world where not only flowers were on your journey. Pixies hung in the trees, and turtles hung out by the castle. Walk through a centipede
and stand above a field of tulips and gaze on the awesomeness in front of you.
This spectacular event only runs for a limited time- so hurry up before the month ends and you have to wait a whole year before this magic descends upon us again.
*We were given entrance to this event for review- however all opinions are our own. If we don't love it we do not write about it!

Monitoring Network Traffic Going In and Out of Your Network
Why you need to watch out for traffic going in and out of your network
One of the most common requests from customers at the moment is the need to create LANGuardian reports which show what network traffic is entering and leaving their network. The recent WannaCry Ransomware outbreak has really made this type of reporting vital for all Network and Security Managers. WannaCry actively scanned for networks which had TCP port 445 opened and then used a vulnerability in SMBv1 to access network file shares.
Leaving Ransomware to one side, it is always good practice to keep a very close eye on your network perimeter. Even if you have a very good Firewall, mistakes can happen and rogue traffic will get through or users will use various methods including tunneling, external anonymizers and VPNs to get around firewall rules.
Defining what is your network edge
Typically, your network edge perpetrates the local subnets on your network from all the external subnets out on your network. Many of you will use private addresses internally, but it is not uncommon to find public IP blocks in use as well. In order to report on what is entering and leaving your network, you need to define what subnets are in use. If you only use private address ranges then your internal networks could be represented as this list of subnets.
Creating subnet variables for use with LANGuardian reports
While you can use subnets directly within LANGuardian reports, you can save some time in the long run by using report variables. Click on the gear symbol top right and select Customization. From here, click on Report Variables and then Add New Report Variable.
- Create a variable called External by using the subnet filter !10.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/16,172.16.0.0/12
- Create a variable called Internal by using the subnet filter 10.0.0.0/8,192.168.0.0/16,172.16.0.0/12
Note that you will need to change the subnet lists above if you use public IP blocks inside your network. Just add them to the list using comma separators.
Top Tip: Add all of your remote sites and VLAN subnets as report variable to speed up troubleshooting. You can quickly see what applications are hogging bandwidth on WAN links by using LANGuardian to focus on traffic associated with the relevant subnet ranges.
Creating custom LANGuardian reports to focus on network edge activity
There are two reports I recommend you look at when it comes to network edge activity.
- Top external clients connecting inbound to my network
- Internal to External traffic flows
The steps to create a custom Top Clients report are as follows:
- Use the search box to locate the Bandwidth :: Top Clients report
- Click on the Source IP/Subnet box and select External
- Click Run Report
- When LANGuardian displays the report, click Actions on the report menu bar and select Save As.
- Enter a name and description, then click Save
The new report will be listed in the My Reports section
The steps to create a custom Internal to External report are as follows:
- Use the Search box to locate the Bandwidth :: Sessions report.
- Click on the Source IP/Subnet field and select Internal
- Click on the Destination IP/Subnet field and select External
- Click Run Report
- When LANGuardian displays the report, click Actions on the report menu bar and select Save As.
- Enter a Name and Description, then click Save.
The new report will be listed in the My Reports section.
Take a read of this blog post, if you would like to learn more on how to monitor network traffic on your network. It contains some handy tips on how to get visibility as to what is happening inside your network.

One thing that has kept me from putting much money into indivdual stocks over the years was that I just too tight to pay the trading commissions. I know their are a lot of discount brokers out there now (E*Trade, Scottrade, TDAmeritrade, Schwab, etc., etc.) that have made it significantly cheaper by doing online trades but I still didn't feel lilke paying $10 or so a trade when I could just pump money into a no load, low expense ratio, index mutual fund with no transaction costs (when buying directly from the fund family).
Several months ago though, I found a new online brokerage that offered up to 10 free trades a month as long as you had a total account balance of $2,500. Even if you didn't meet the minimum balance requirement, trades were only $4.50, which is still cheaper than everyone else. The company is called Zecco which stands for Zerro Commissions and yes, they offer totally free trading!
So now that there was a free option available, I decided I would start doing a little trading with some play money that I just had sitting in my online savings account. Here it is several months later and I've really come to love my Zecco account and my 10 free trades a month. The stock market has been beaten up pretty bad so far in 2008 but since the trades are free, I can just buy a few shares of the stock I'm looking at for small dollar amounts.
From what I've read, Zecco's interface may not be as pretty or offer as much analysis as some of the other discount brokers, but you just can't beat free trades! So if your someone who wants to just dabble a little bit in the stock market but like me, don't want to pay $10 or so for an online trades, I highly recommend checking out Zecco.
I still recommend that you place the bulk of your investments in low-cost index funds, such as a Target Retirement Fund from Vanguard. However, setting aside a little money for Zecco is a great way to play individual stocks without incurring large trading fees.
Questions or Comments about Zecco?
Just leave a comment and I'd be glad to talk with you about it.

Did God fail at preserving His word and church until Joseph Smith fixed it?
Reference Links
Restoration Claims Examined
What About Denominations?
The Reliability of the Bible
Video Transcript
The key issue that Mormonism uses to justify its existence is the idea of restoration.
According to Mormon teaching, Christ set up his church with the apostles holding the authoritative priesthood, but most of them were killed. This foiled God's plan and left his church to flounder in apostasy until Joseph Smith restored it. But a look at the Bible will show these claims to be false.
Nowhere in the Bible exists the idea that there must always be apostles, nor that apostles hold a special priesthood necessary for the church. Right after predicting his own death, Jesus told the apostles that they would drink the same cup. The apostles established the church, left their instructions on how it should be run, and never mentioned appointing replacements.
There are frequent warnings of apostasy, but it could never wipe out the church. Jesus said that the gates of hell would not prevail against his church, that he would always be with them and that he would care for his church like a husband cares for a wife, and that the Holy Spirit would keep them in the truth.
Another factor in the Mormon restoration is that the Bible as God's word has been corrupted, and anyplace it happens to contradict Mormonism, it is because plain and precious truths have somehow been lost. But the internal and external evidence flies in the face of this groundless speculation.
Externally, there are thousands of ancient texts attesting to the Bible, none of which show any evidences that truths were lost, and no variations or errors change any point of Christian doctrine.
The internal evidence for the integrity of the Bible comes from God himself. The Bible says that the word of God will stand forever, it lives and abides forever, and Jesus said his words would never pass away. These assurances are meaningless if God's words and church were corrupted within a few years after being established.
And this is the main problem with restoration; it denigrates the character of God. God says he never lies and always accomplishes his will, in spite of the will of man. He says he will give salvation to men and he will preserve his people, and he chose the written word as the means of doing this.
Saying that God is unable or unwilling to preserve His own words and church, is tantamount to calling God a liar about the promises he made and about who he is. It enslaves the holy ruler of the universe to the sinful whims of his own creatures.
Furthermore, examining Mormonism will reveal that by definition, it is not a restoration of anything. It uses many of the same terms found in the Bible, but the meaning and function its apostles, priesthoods, scriptures, doctrines, and temples, etc., have nothing to do with anything found in Christian or Israelite history. It is not, in fact, a restoration, but a perversion of the Christian faith.
The true church of Christ is any body of believers that submits to the Bible alone as the sufficient and infallible rule of faith and practice. Check out our references at ldsvideo.org.

I finally saw it last night. Took the time to go see it and I enjoyed it. I do have a couple of Marvel related questions from the movie.
Are all Kree's that tough? I mean Drax got tossed around like a ragdoll by Ronin. Are all Kree that strong? And if Coulson got a dose of Ronin's blood no wonder he's losing his mind. That dude was crazy.
Peter Quill's dad is a ? I realize that there has been a lot of speculation over who his dad might be. Most likely scenario at this point is?
The ravagers... please tell me in the next movie that Peter finds out they were supposed to take him to his dad so he destroys the magic whistle arrow.

Seinfeld Episodes
Seinfeld – Season 3 – Episode 11 – The Stranded
Seinfeld The Alternate Side is the 11th episode of the Seinfeld season 3 and the 28th overall the Seinfeld series and it was aired on December 4, 1991.
The Seinfeld episode The Alternate Side, Jerry's car is stolen and he has a conversation with the thief on the car phone. Kramer asks for his gloves from the car thief. George takes a job moving cars from one side of the street to the other to comply with alternate side parking regulations, in which he does a predictably shoddy job. Elaine cares for her 66-year-old boyfriend, who has a stroke just before she is about to break up with him. Kramer gets a line in a Woody Allen film, "These pretzels are making me thirsty!" All four of the main characters use the line at least once during the episode, further popularizing the expression.
George then causes a car collision and traffic jam, making it take longer for the ambulance to reach Elaine's boyfriend, which causes additional neural damage that could have been prevented. Due to the major inconveniences because of the delays caused by George, a disgruntled Woody Allen says that he may never shoot a movie in New York City ever again. Additionally, George's poor performance causes many of Sid's long time customers to cancel, therefore causing Sid a loss of income. This results in Sid being unable to finance his nephew's operation to save his foot. While filming a shot during the movie, Kramer slams down his beer mug on the bar and accidentally injures Allen with a flying shard of glass. He subsequently gets fired from the set. Also, Kramer gets the brown gloves from the car thief but has no information about the car, which irritates Jerry.

on the way home, i stopped to get my favorite indulgence for dinner... poutine! i quickly realized it was much too beautiful of an evening to head home and eat in my air conditioned flat, so i biked down to sugar beach to enjoy my fries, cheese curds, and veggie gravy (with sauteed onions, peas, and mushrooms mmmmm) with a beautiful view of lake ontario in the setting sun. there were dozens of sailboats out on the water, cute 20-somethings still sporting bright bikinis and big floppy hats at 8pm, and a film crew... i watched as they filmed a scene for my favorite canadian comedy.
returning home as the sky turned pink, i lit a scented candle, filling the apartment with the soft scent of vanilla, brewed some caramel rooibos, and put on an ella record. looking around as i reclined on my brown leather sofa with the new ikea catalogue on my lap and my kitty playing at my feet, i thought to myself "this is perfect. i never want to leave this life." and it is true.
he returned home exhausted to a big glass of pomegranite juice, cuddled the kitten, and kissed me on the cheek. we settled into the couch together to relax awhile and share the events of our days before heading to bed.
if this is what evenings alone will be, i think i'll be able to handle one or two a week!

Losing your job can put you on a steep slide to homelessness. Job loss and alcohol addiction combined can make it difficult to climb back up. Joe Anderson needed stability and support to help him rebuild his life.
"I got to the point where I drank at home and I got to the point where I was drinking in the morning. I got laid off from work – I was still drinking and of course that doesn't motivate you much to get up and look for a job," Joe said.
Joe lost his job and soon after, his apartment. Now homeless, he went from shelter to shelter looking for a way to rebuild his life. Union Mission gave him the support he needed to achieve his goals.
"It's allowing me to transition back into that phase where you know how to deal with people," Joe said. "When you drink, you hang your head down. You know people's watching you and they frown down on you. I don't have that now. It's helped me gain my confidence back in myself."
Within four days of entering Grace House's 90-day program, Joe found a job in the hospitality industry. When he completed the Grace House program, Joe moved into the transitional housing offered by Union Mission's Beyond Grace program. Working and saving for his future, Joe hopes to continue in the culinary arts and become a caterer.
Union Mission gave Joe the stability he needed to start a new chapter in his life. He has the skills to create a promising future for himself. Thanks to those who have given generously to Union Mission, the support Joe received is available to those still in need.

Why Accurate Virtual Games Are Important (Or Why Virtual Lottery Terminals Are Crap)
In an earlier post, I mentioned how a true variable RTP in a game is based on the mechanics of the game, not an artificial variable that does nothing but affect the RTP. A true variable RTP is blackjack, where player choices affect the cards in the shoe that the dealer can then draw from. This puts restrictions on how a game plays. If there are no restrictions, it boils down to a player going to a casino, giving the casino money, and then asking if they will get any money back. The casino then decides, arbitrarily, whether that will happen.
Online casinos don't want you to think that way, though, regardless of the reality. They rely on our cultural history with physical casinos to provide people with a context through which they will view games. Physical casinos were, and mostly still are, restricted by mechanical processes. There is no easy way to dynamically alter the payout of a card game or mechanical slot. And any process by which that happens is almost universally accepted as cheating. If a casino slips cards into and out of a deck secretly, that's cheating.
That is why genuine representation of game parts is important. It's why most regulatory jurisdictions require that a game virtually represent actual game parts. If there are cards on screen, those cards must come from a virtual deck, with a set number of cards in them. Everyone is coming into online casinos with assumptions created by physical games. Artificial, or arbitrary is perhaps a better term, RTPs have no such restriction. They are a breeding ground for corruption.
An artificial RTP is like a slot that increases the RTP the longer you play. This could be changed in any number of ways, such as the addition or subtraction of symbols, changes to the pay table, or bonus games that provide guaranteed wins. When a casino tells you about this, they are not technically being dishonest. They are obfuscating the game's nature, though, and I have a problem with this.
The more that a casino plays around with the RTP, the less that one can easily understand his or her chances. This is bad. Casinos will, and do, take advantage of this situation to provide poor returns, while hiding those poor returns behind abstruse mathematics. Furthermore, it makes casinos think that they don't even need to be honest. If there is no inherent reality understood to be operating behind the games, casinos can do whatever they damn well please.
The recent Spielo/G2/Gtech/Betfred blow-up that played out on Casinomeister earlier last year revealed casinos doing just that, using the excuse that having cards does not mean that they are cards. The visual appearance of the game and the game itself have no connection. Obviously, this was cheating because they lied about the nature of the games and went to great pains to keep those lies hidden, because again, they don't want players understanding how their proverbial sausage is made.
And even if they hadn't lied, it was still bad. As I mentioned above, casinos rely on people entering the casino with preexisting ideas about how casino games work. Cards are cards. Slots are slots. Dice are dice. People assume that the games work a particular way. Having a game behave in a different way is inherently dishonest.
This sort of trickery is not restricted to online casinos, though. Many casinos operate with games that appear to be slots or video poker but are, in fact, Video Lottery Terminals. As far as the user is concerned, there's little visible difference, but there is no virtual machine taking place. It is the casino arbitrarily deciding "yes, you will receive money."
This is an incredibly obtuse distinction, so I hope I can make it clear.
Video Lottery Terminals, or VLTs, are a form of fixed odds betting. This is, as you could guess from the name, similar to a lottery ticket, where the company issuing the tickets knows precisely how many people are going to win what. There is no chance involved. It is all planned.
A way to demonstrate this is with video poker on a VLT. In real video poker, with a virtual deck, if you are dealt a full house and draw five cards, you will get five new cards from the virtual deck. In a video poker VLT, if you draw a full house then draw five new cards... you will get another full house. You have been chosen to get that full house, and there is nothing that you can do to not get it.
There is actually a way to "scam" these machines. Since a... seasoned?... Can anyone actually be seasoned with this sort of thing? Regardless, since a seasoned player knows how these machines work, he or she can camp out by a stand-alone machine and wait for a person to lose a bunch of money. They then know that the machine will need to pay something out soon to make its fixed odds.
The machine needs to be a stand-alone system, since most large operations link all of their machines together to maintain a house RTP as opposed to a per-terminal RTP. A camper would need to somehow camp out an entire casino floor.
Since things are very similar from the player perspective, why am I upset?
First, this is a semi-moral issue for me. Casinos are parasites. They are shiny and have lots of cool stuff, but at their core, they are parasites. They provide no value to society and yet generate truly garagantuan profits. One of the "payments" that casinos must make to be morally allowed into this position is that they are prisoners of their mathematics. Sometimes, a casino will lose money at the end of the month. That is simply going to happen.
If a casino is loaded with VLTs, they always know how much they will have. They will never lose money. They will always, forever, have a percentage of money at the end of the month. Many online casinos try to argue that their slots are real slots while actually running rigged games that effectively turn the slot into a VLT.
No. No. If you are not willing to lose some money now and then, you are now allowed to be a casino. You are not allowed to be that parasite.
Second, the differences to the player can actually be massive from the perspective of an omniscient third party. For example, let's say that you go into a casino that runs slots with virtual reels spinning. You could pull the lever and net three sevens immediately. There is a non-zero chance of that happening, and that will happen now and then. That's how casinos can lose big over a month. One person wanders in, hits it big, then leaves, never to return.
But if that casino is running VLTs, until you lose some money or until someone else loses some money, that "slot" machine will never pay out. The chances of you pulling three sevens is zero. So while the player may be none the wiser, the players as a collective are worse off.
Another way is to look at lottery tickets. Since all winners and losers are pre-determined, if someone buys the grand prize ticket on day one, there is zero chance that you could win that grand prize until all of the tickets are sold and a new run is printed. For a true slot machine, five players could win grand prizes in a row. The chances of this are low, but it could happen.
For most physical casinos in legitimate jurisdictions, if the game is a VLT, that must be said somewhere on the machine. That's why "Fruities" in the United Kingdom are commonly known as FOBTs, or Fixed Odds Betting Terminals. Everyone knows how they work. Nothing is hidden.
To me, though, that doesn't change anything from a moral perspective. Casinos should be able to lose money. They must feel risk. I don't have enough room or data to go into this fully, but the UK again provides a good example. FOBTs are propagating across the island like a bacteria. This would not be happening if there was a chance of losing money. This is happening purely because they are money-printing machines. A no-risk parasite, increasing in size and reach, as it feeds off of the population.
Or for a historical example, let's look at Las Vegas in the early days. Back then, everyone had slot machines. Gas stations, soda fountains, libraries: slot machines were, again, propagating across the state like a bacteria. They were, of course, all rigged. The mob was good at that. And by rigged, I mean that they never lost money at the end of the month. They always made money... just like FOBTs. And just like online casinos, people assumed they knew how the game functioned when they made a bet.
Once that rigging, once that guarantee, was gone, so too went all of the slot machines. Money-printing machines with no risk produce a surfeit of those machines, and in the case of gambling, place an unnatural strain on society. Taking part in the economy needs to involve risk, otherwise a pure parasite is formed.
So, in that roundabout way, I hope that I have explained why having games that represent some virtual mechanism are so important. Only through the guarantees of the math is risk created. Only through the protection of the math does the player stand a real chance.

"It's one of the best Park Avenue buildings, built by one of the best architects in the East 70s, which is the best location," said Brown Harris Stevens' John Burger, who brokered the last sale in the building, across the hall from the Nemazee's apartment, and who currently has an eighth-floor listing for $11 million. "You know there are people who will or won't go to the 60s, and people who won't go to Carnegie Hill, but no one won't go to the 70s."
"The thing that pushes it up in value is the high floor," Ms. Steinberg said. "There are other duplexes in that building, but not as high up."
A broker familiar with the apartment said a 2009 government appraisal caused every agent to balk at the idea of a sub-$20 million estimate (the appraisal pegged the value in the high teens).
"If you took a logical approach and the value was a fact-based assessment, the asking price should probably be at $28 million," the broker, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Observer by phone on Monday morning. "However, in an environment where different firms are giving different presentations for the client, it is in the broker's best interests to give a higher value in order to flatter the client."
The broker noted that the government has "a fiduciary duty to achieve the highest price for the property. If one firm gives a presentation suggesting the value at $25 million or $26 million, while another suggests a $29 million value, the government is going to have to have a very good reason before dismissing the $29 million option."
Ms. Steinberg, who worked with Nemazee on the sale of his late mother's estate and is familiar with the apartment, agreed with the $28 million estimated asking price. "I think that's totally, totally fair. It could even go over $30 million, though it's unlikely."
But, with 770 Park being among the good buildings, and the apartment being on the larger side, it wouldn't be surprising.
Last month, David Winter, scion of a family-run real estate concern, purchased a six-bedroom simplex at 778 Park Avenue for $26 million without the apartment even going on the market. "It becomes very subjective," Ms. Steinberg said. "The apartment wasn't unique, but it had six bedrooms and that's very rare. There are only a handful of buildings that have six bedrooms, including 778 Park Avenue and 820 Fifth Avenue."
"There's an old-school popularity with those buildings," Brown Harris Stevens' townhouse topman Sami Hassoumi said with a sigh. "How would I call it–tradition, I suppose. There is a category of buyers who only go in the direction of old-line co-ops."
Jonathan Miller, president and CEO of appraisal firm Miller Samuel and an expert on the New York housing market, low and high, summed it up with a dash of real estate realpolitik. "It's about the exclusivity and prestige–all that is still alive and well."
"You're definitely onto something," Ms. Lenz told The Observer from the curb outside the Plaza. "There's no question about it." The December wind rattled her cell, cutting her off mid-sentence. "Big, well-priced apartments sell quickly."

When it comes to protein, we have a lot of options to choose from. Animal proteins such as whey are popular choices that people believe provide the highest level of protein.
However, countless studies show plant-based proteins provide as much, and even more, protein and overall nutritional value. They are gluten free and are easier to digest. Plus, they are cultivated from sustainable farming.
Four Nature chooses to use only plant-based proteins in our foods. Here's more information on the proteins we use.
Pea Protein
Pea Protein is naturally gluten and dairy free. It has a complete amino acid profile, which means it includes all 9 of the essential amino acids your body needs to build muscle, tissue and bone. That includes branch-chained amino acids which help decrease muscle breakdown post workout.
Nutritionally, it's nearly identical to whey protein. Here's a breakdown:
Most important, The American Chemical Society reported pea protein helps fight high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Brown Rice Protein
Like pea protein, brown rice protein has very similar nutritional value to whey. It provides the same amount of protein as whey while maintaining the same hypo-allergenic and digestive benefits. Brown rice doesn't contain all the essential amino acids, but that's why we combine it with pea and hemp.
Hemp Protein
Hemp is also packed with the 20 essential amino acids needed for muscle building. But in addition, it's loaded with healthy omega-3 and omega-6. Plus, it's one of the few sources of the hard to get gamma linolenic acid (GLA). GLA-rich foods like hemp seeds have been observed to help people with:
Breast pain
Diabetes and diabetic neuropathy
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Multiple sclerosis
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
Rheumatoid arthritis
Skin allergies

If you are thinking about protective styling with a weave and really want to capitalize your growth, there are a few things you can do that will help your natural hair thrive underneath the weave. The major issue when protective styling is the "set it and forget it" route that many people take because the believe that their hair is being protected. And while that may be the case, protective styling is not a means of forgetting about your natural hair. Instead it is a method to protect your tresses, give them a rest from the day every day tugging and styling, while also giving you the opportunity to have a little fun. Protective styling lets you try different styles, colors, and lengths without making any final decisions on your actual hair. The beauty is when you take down your protective style, your natural hair should be in much better condition than it was when you first installed. That is always the hope, but that is not always the case. Why? Because we don't always focus on taking care of ways to grow, maintain and retain all that beautiful new growth, especially when it comes to weaves.
Before looking into the 5 ways to grow your natural hair while wearing a weave, check out the 10 weave commandments to keep your real hair healthy. Once you've familiarized yourself with these crucial vital 10 commandments, dive in further to see how you can help boost the growth of your natural hair and keep it in a healthy state.
5 Ways To Grow Your Natural Hair While Wearing A Weave
1. Cleanse + Oil Scalp: It can be really tricky cleansing your natural hair, especially when you can't reach your scalp. However it is vital that you continue to cleanse your scalp at least twice a month while protective styling. With a weave it is best to use a modified shampoo mix. I tend to mix my sulfate free shampoo with a bit of water. Use a bottle applicator to increase your reach and make it easier to get into those small to reach places/crevices. You can also use a similar applicator to gently oil your scalp ( do not douse your head in oil after you have cleansed it. That kind of defeats the purpose). Oiling scalp should be partnered with another process to ensure natural hair growth… and that leads us to step #2.
2. Scalp Massages: Again another tricky one when wearing a weave, but scalp massages are a God send when you are wearing a weave. Especially if you've got that darn weave itch that you cant reach so you pat the crap out of your head in hopes that it will stop. That's unfortunately not how it works. Massage your scalp 2-3 times a week, either using your hands or any of those fancy scalp massagers I've been seeing pop up all over the place. The purpose of massaging your scalp is two fold. One you are helping to move debris off the scalp and preventing it from clogging your pores. This prevents hair from growing to its full potential. Also by massaging your scalp with a carrier oil (or a nice mix of essential + carrier oils) you are helping to invigorate the scalp and promote growth.

{10 Herbs + Oils That Promote Hair Growth }
3. Do not braid hair too loose or too tight: This is usually the deal breaker when protective styling with a weave. The foundation of your protective style is everything. If your braids are so tight they are giving you headaches days after you have had the weave installed, that is a definite red flag. If you are seeing white bumps form on the perimeter of your scalp, that is another red flag. You should not sacrifice the health of your hair for any style ever. The same goes for if you think your weave still looks BOMB after 10 weeks of being installed. That is a NO NO! One… your braids have become too lose or begun to hang at this point. This is putting unnecessary tension on your hair. Your protective style should be installed for 4-6 weeks. Let us not forget the dangers of keeping a protective style in too long (Woman Leaves Weave In For 2 Years)
4. Take care of your nape and edges: These two areas are extremely sensitive and must be taken care of. Too often we don't think about our edges or "kitchen" until it is too late. Alopecia is real and can be permanent if the damage is too far gone. Do not lose your edges, or damage your nape just because you want to make sure your style looks fresh for a longer period of time. Whenever I get a weave or box braids installed I make sure to tell the stylist to leave my edges/nape untouched. I don't care how "unkempt" the style may appear when it is complete, at least I know that when I remove the weave that my edges will be left intact.

4 Easy Steps To Growing Your Nape Hair + Edges
5. Only wear for 4-6 weeks: I don't want to be redundant but, it is crucial to remind you that you should NOT and I repeat again should NOT be wearing your protective style for more than 6 weeks. Trust me I have pushed my protective style to its limits on several occasions because I didn't want to go back to taking care of my natural hair, and I felt the style still had some "oomph" left in it. I've worn weaves for up to 10 weeks at a time, and always live to regret it. One… your hair needs to breath and being buried for more than 6 weeks causes the hair to start to weaken. It isn't getting the real TLC it deserves therefore it isn't going to behave as it normally would. When you do get around to removing the protective style chances are you are going to see more than just shed hair. Damage starts to occur after the 6th week. It may not be right away, and it may not always be the case but you don't want to start getting in the habit of leaving your protective style in for so long as you are compromising the health of your natural hair.
{5 Signs Its Time To Remove Your Protective Style}
When I've kept protective styles in for about 6 weeks, I notice a great amount of growth and much less shedding after I've had it out for a few days. As opposed to when I keep it longer and notice my hair shedding way more than usual for several days. Take it from me, not style is worth losing hair! We protective style to gain and keep our hair!

Our virtual doors are wide open. So, whether it's a video consultation with a designer, a chat on the phone with one of our home specialists, or just a second opinion through email, if you're decorating your home, our store teams are still here for you. Simply find your nearest and drop us a line.
Where in the world are you?
It's far nicer (and easier) when things are in your own language.Right now, we speak a few, but we're learning more all the time…
In the Larsson chest of drawers, youíll find storage that translates from bedroom to living space, a distressed finish thatís as easy to live with as it is pretty, and floral motifs that tell a tale of British woodlands. Itís a piece for bringing delicate-in-looks design to your home without compromising on practicality and storage space.
There are three, equally and generously sized drawers in this chest. Each one opens fully, so you can see all the way to the back without removing the drawers from the frame, and closes softly too.
Larsson is a piece that has British and Swedish influences. The proportions are slim and delicate, like so many Gustavian-style pieces of furniture are and what makes it work so well in bedrooms. The carved details – like spruce cone finials and wildflower motifs – only add to its prettiness.
The colours in our paint palette shown here are a close representation of their true shades, but to see the real thing, we suggest trying our sample paint pots.
Our Larsson pieces come with Antique Brass handles (a dark, almost black, brass colour) that are decorated with a floral motif.
This piece is made from natural timber, which will expand (slightly) and shrink (just a little) as it responds to the humidity and temperature in your room. We've used joinery techniques that'll help to counteract this, but small changes in your piece are completely natural and to be expected. Just know that, in the very unlikely event that there's a significant change to the structure, we'll be here to help.
We've put together this guide on taking care of your furniture so that it stays looking as beautiful as the day you first brought it home.
Our white glove service means you'll have a two-man delivery team. That means no heavy lifting on your part is needed. They'll take it to your desired spot, assemble it for you and take away the packaging for recycling. The assembly service doesn't include fitted furniture.
For homes and customers outside of the UK and Ireland, our international team are here to help arrange shipping and delivery. Call us on +44 (0)1793 427 427 or e-mail [email protected] and together we'll sort out the best method for you.
Returns should be easy, that's why we have a 'no quibble' mindset.
If you decide on the day that it's not for you then our delivery team can take it away for you there and then. But if you'd rather mull things over, you have 28 days to make up your mind. We do charge a pick-up fee of £29.95 here though, because we'll need to send our delivery team back out.
And when it comes to designs upholstered in a made-to-order fabric or painted in a bespoke colour, there's also a 20% returns/cancellation fee. We'd love to not have to charge a penny for this, but as they're made just for you, we can't always guarantee that we'll be able to sell them again.
If you've bought something from us outside the UK or Ireland, just get in touch with the store you bought it from – or with our international team if you bought it through them – and they'll let you know how you can return or exchange it.
And talk to our international team on +44 (0)1793 427 427 or at [email protected]

American woman becomes youngest rower to cross an ocean aloneMar 15, 2010
,Ohio native Katie Spotz, 22, made landfall in French Guyana Sunday, becoming the youngest person to row across an ocean alone. Spotz left Dakar, Senegal, on January 3rd, 2010, 70 days earlier.
From the New York Times:
Spotz had packed enough food to last 110 days: half a million calories' worth of mostly freeze-dried meals, granola and dried fruit. Her crossing took much less time because she had help from the trade currents, and was fortunate not to face any major weather or technical problems.
Her 19-foot yellow wooden rowboat was broadsided by 20-foot waves as she approached South America. It was a frightening ride, even though the boat was built to withstand hurricanes and 50-foot waves, said Phil Morrison, the British yacht builder who designed it.
Spotz said in a telephone interview after the trip, "I was worried the boat might capsize."
