A few things to help new players get started: I end up talking to a lot of folks about the rules and autopsying games that went awry – the following points will help you learn the rules and have a good first game.
Read the National Reference Sheets – The biggest mistake new players make is reading the rules and not reading each nation's national reference sheet which contains the special rules the govern each nation. If you don't read these sheets you'll be constantly surprised by your enemies actions! You don't want that do you? Encourage all your players to read all the sheets so everyone knows how each nation behaves.
Understand the 1936-1939 Starting Strategy: Simply put, everyone begins at peace. Most nations don't start with their full income level – this simulates their economies not being geared for military production and their governments' historical levels of military spending. Axis players must read very carefully the British, French, U.S. and Soviet Reference Sheets to avoid actions (mainly attacking neutrals and major powers until you are ready to strike decisively. If the pre-war gamesmanship isn't exciting to your game group start with the 1939 scenario.
Victory Conditions: The game is won and lost on victory conditions. Play to them. They balance out force inequalities: For example: Its easier for Italy to win their victory conditions than the USA.
Convoy Lines: The convoy lines are what your submarines use for raiding. Read the submarine raiding and escort rules very carefully. The Convoy Lines are not used for tracing of lend-lease or supply paths. Don't' confuse the two.

Letter to the Editor – originally printed in "waterline-The Journal of the Water Management Society"[1]
Dear Editor,
Where have all the Water Treatment people gone?
I started in water treatment in June 1977 after being recruited straight from University to what was then Houseman Hegro Ltd, in Birkenhead. I was allocated to the Senior Engineer in the region and he was responsible for my introduction and training.
There was an immediate introduction to the business and the service requirements for customers by in field training and familiarisation with a number of trained colleagues, along with the start of technical and application training. I feel that I benefitted hugely from this and it was the basis of my knowledge for the rest of my career.
Within a year I was involved in technical training in a classroom environment run in house by senior management and technical division personnel, each in their area of expertise. It is unnecessary to go into the detail but I would think that by the end of the first 12 months in the business I was reasonably aware of the needs of my job. I believe that this was a fairly standard approach in the training of new recruits and I believe that the competition worked in a very similar way
I stayed with Houseman for 22 years in numerous sales and technical roles and then moved on into other areas of water treatment, but in that 22 years the training courses were updated in line with the business and most significantly with the need to look at Legionella!
In addition, whenever there was a new product or an update both sales and service personnel were taken off the road and retrained accordingly.
During this period of time the business and the needs for our clients have become more specific as a result of the Legionella issue, and the obvious commercial rewards that working on the control of that bacteria brings for companies in the UK. However, I believe that this situation created a "two-edged sword" as it has taken away the emphasis on the basic needs of water treatment in the quest to earn money quickly by providing a less technical approach to the business and looking at the HSE guidance notes and ACOP as a route to provide cleaning and monitoring services. This commercial opportunity has created an opportunity for many smaller and new companies to emerge and I believe that in many cases water treatment basic training was not completed because of solely concentrating on the commercial opportunity.
In a financial sense and as a business growth strategy it is difficult to criticise this, but the lack of training in water treatment has resulted in numerous basic problems where relatively simple situations in system management have escalated into critical failures of equipment and processes where in the past they would have been the key part of the water management programme within the facility.
It is potentially a great opportunity for the WMSoc to move on with its already successful training offering and make a step forward above and beyond the courses and CPD points that are provided for attendance. I believe that we should learn from our colleagues in the USA where they now provide a qualification, the CWT Certified Water Technologist. To gain this qualification the candidate attends, either physically or on line a number of training sessions and must pass an examination on all of the areas to gain the qualification and become a CWT. We are more than half way there with the training offered, it would not need to be significantly changed, though updating the courses (as we have been doing for some years now) is a constant requirement to stay in tune with the needs of the industry.
I believe that it is time for the UK to provide a qualification that is seen throughout the UK water treatment and water hygiene industry that is specific to maintaining excellent water conditions in systems and to minimise the risks of pathogens in those systems from proliferating causing illness and worse in some cases! It could not guarantee that someone with the qualification knows everything, but it would help give some confidence to the industries customers out there that there is some standard to which they can refer and hopefully maintain well managed and safe water systems in their facility.

Which Are The Best Alternative News Sources (English) On
Learn all about the frequent application to the University of Michigan, and be part of me as I stroll you step by step by way of the applying essay writing process. Still, Carroll worries that the rise of cable information and the multiplicity of sources on-line signifies that folks can cherry choose the evidence to go well with their argument, a improvement he feels undermines the nationwide dialog. If you break your arm it won't make the news, but when the Queen of England breaks her arm it's huge information.
Racial information that includes whites reflects similar dichotomy, with public officials and upper middle class projected as residents who search to advance racial integration getting extra coverage and fewer prosperous whites, who reveal in opposition to it being not most newsworthy, however barely coated nonetheless. More must be acknowledged on scientific break-throughs, more on inspiration, superb feats of kindness and articles that depart one with a heat fuzzy feeling. And numerous apps integrate instantly with Pocket to allow you to save articles and movies.
Media is mostly excited about making sensational information at the cost of cornering acts of kindness. I suppose it is essential to report bad issues which can be happening around so everyone seems to be alerted, however, I suppose good news is seldom reported anymore and it needs to be reported. Also, with out the presence of an anchor to ease the transition from news to promoting and again, the viewer will be watching singing canines one moment and crying youngsters the next.
When you employ a newspaper article as a source for an task or project, you'll want to describe it so that readers themselves can find it. Below you will see that several of the commonest ways to reference and cite a newspaper article. Carroll was the reporter for the defunct New York Herald Tribune, who was in the basement of Dallas police headquarters when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot useless dwell on nationwide tv following the Kennedy assassination.
Generally talking, then, the nationwide information features middle-class and higher middle class blacks who've 'overcome' racial, economic and particularly political obstacles, with the less prosperous black extra typically newsworthy as protesters, criminals and victims. Consumers are used to receiving the newest updates, and there's a lot information about that old information is quickly discarded. It is, subsequently, not stunning that those receiving news online are typically better educated than the common American.

FATWA FACTORY: Now photography is un-Islamic
After blood donation, firecrackers, yoga and even starlet Veena Malik, India's very own fatwa factory, Darul Uloom in Deoband has issued a new decree that terms "photography as unlawful and a sin".
Says Mufti Abdul Qasim Nomani, Mohtamim (Vice-Chancellor) of Darul Uloom Deoband, "Photography is un-Islamic. Muslims are not allowed to get their photos clicked unless it is for an identity card or for making a passport."
Ironically, Saudi Arabia, which follows the Wahabi school that aspires to return to the earliest fundamental sources of Islam, allows photography in the holiest of Islamic cities Mecca and beams live coverage through the year.
But that doesn't seem to deter Darul Uloom.
"Let them do it. We do not allow it. Not everything they do is correct."
Spurned by the decree was an engineering graduate who queried the religious body about his passion for photography and desire to pursue it as a career.

The Cable
Watch Turkmenistan's Leader Play Commando and Blow Stuff Up
At least Donald Trump isn't acting like this … yet.
Is there anything Turkmenistan's President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov can't do?
He's serenaded his country's workers with his own songs. His prowess as an athlete is broadcast across the nation on state television. He won the last election with 98 percent of the vote, and it goes without sayin', is one of Turkmenistan's leading DJ's. But none of that compares to Berdymukhamedov's latest display of state-engineered genius as a master of arms and commando warfare.
In footage broadcast Tuesday on Turkmen state television, the Central Asian leader is dressed in full kit, complete with a pair of black sunglasses, as he shows off his combat skills: firing an automatic rifle, plastering targets with his pistol, and throwing knives as a crowd of military and security officers attentively stand by and furiously applaud.
Berdymukhamedov performed the routine at a border station south of Ashgabat, the capital, as the television report gushed praise upon the president's supposedly unparalleled skill as a warrior.
"Picking up one of the types of weapons presented to him, the head of state demonstrated the precision of his aim, which served as evidence of his high level of military preparedness," said the state news broadcast.
The clip below, which has been edited by the opposition website the Chronicles of Turkmenistan to include clips from Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1985 film Commando, shows the entire broadcast, which also includes Berdymukhamedov calling in a helicopter strike on targets in the desert.
Berdymukhamedov, who was formerly a dentist, became president of Turkmenistan in 2006 following the death his predecessor Saparmurat Niyazov, who was known for creating a cult of personality. He renamed the months of the year after himself and his mother, and raised a gold statue of his likeness that rotated to face the sun.
That left Berdymukhamedov a high bar — but he is determined to clear it. After becoming president, Berdymukhamedov dismantled the cult of Niyazov and eventually began building his own cult of personality, erecting his own statues and performing displays broadcast on state television, such as the recent counterterrorism exercise, that are meant to convey his strength as a leader. (Now all he needs is to shoot an 18 at golf.)
The timing and type of his latest demonstration is likely not coincidental. The Turkmen government is increasingly concerned about security — especially about Islamic State activity spilling over Turkmenistan's roughly 460-mile border with Afghanistan. On Wednesday, Radio Free Europe's Turkmen service reported that four suspected Islamic State militants were captured in the country's southeast after crossing over from Afghanistan. The report added that 50 militants are believed to have recently crossed the border in recent months, with only 30 being apprehended.
Turkmenistan has no free media and is considered to be one of the world's most isolated countries. So instead of frankly discussing security concerns along the Afghan border, expect more stunts by Berdymukhamedov meant to showcase his prowess as a leader.

Side hustles are convenient, a good source of income, and relatively simple to start up. But one of the hardest parts that are involved with setting one up is actually coming up with an idea or choosing what sort of side hustle to even start!
With so many possible and profitable lines of work available for freelancers, it can be incredibly hard to pick just one and stick with it. If you're one of those individuals who just can't decide which skill to turn into their side hustle, then just keep on reading, because here are 5 tips to help you find the perfect side hustle.
You'll get a lesson every day and FREE business coaching in your inbox every week. By opting in, you are agreeing to be a part of our email list. Do NOT opt in unless you want some serious entrepreneurship goodness.
1.) Think about your skills. But of course- you're not going to start up a side hustle wherein you have little to no talent in your field of choice, right? That would be a terrible decision, and you'd just end up wasting both you and your potential customer/client's time if you did so. Think about your fortes and talents. If people love your baking why not consider starting up your very own online baking website? If you're good at fixing technology why not start a small repair kiosk? Know what you're good at, and turn it into something of use.
2.) Consider your schedule. This is another important thing to take note of. If editing code takes you hours upon hours of valuable time, then you can't exactly turn it into a side hustle, can you? Nope, it would distract you from your primary job and even if you did somehow manage to do both, you'd barely get any sleep or free time! Choose a side hustle which you know you'll be able to work into your free time and schedule without sacrificing your mental health, sleep patterns, and overall well being.
3.) Weigh the pros and cons. Think about the pros and cons of the side hustles you want to turn into reality. If you want to become a part-time designer but think it's too demanding, then find something else. Consider things like profit, skill and effort usage, and time when coming up with a final decision.
4.) Know what you want. Imagine yourself in ten years turning your brand new side hustle into a success. Think about your vision- what do you want this new niche to turn into? What do you want it to become? Once you've gotten a clear hold of what exactly you'd like to happen, it'll be far more easy to settle with one final hustle for you to turn into an amazing opportunity.
5.) Ask for ideas. If all else fails, then ask for help! Ask other people for advice and ideas in order to help you decide which side hustle you should settle with. Try and ask individuals who are close to you and know you well because they are more likely to have the ability to gauge your skill level and talent. Don't be afraid to reach out to other people when you're having trouble- no man is an island, after all.
Question: Do you know what side hustle you want to start already? I'd love to know more. You can leave a comment by clicking here.

Zoning Commission upholds development fee
Zoning Commission
has upheld the regulation, which is known as inclusionary zoning and is a means of generating money for affordable housing.
Commissioners Tuesday voted 3 to 2 to enforce the regulation, but adjustments likely will be made in the next few months. It's uncertain what those changes might be.
Commission members Steve Paduano , Janice Vance and George Doring voted in favor of the regulation, and commission chairman
Developers have objected to the fee as an unfair means to achieve affordable housing. They have suggested the Zoning Commission has other ways to produce affordable housing than charge a fee that will simply add to the already high cost of housing in this area.
As it stands now, builders will pay the fee to New Milford Affordable Housing Inc.
In other business, the commission opted did not vote on a proposal by des Vosges Properties to transform three buildings on the corner of Church and East street into a mixed use retail, gallery and 15-unit condominium complex with an underground garage.
The commission has until March 14 to reach a decision on that project.

I'm not new to Linux, and being a Mac user, many of the inner workings are dealt with in a similar way; I've had many trips into the Terminal on my, and other people's Macs, so the command line doesn't scare me. A lot of it is still new though, like cd 'ing around the file system within Terminal, I never had to do that before, but I'm getting used to it.
My first impressions were:
"It's not a good starting computer for someone who knows nothing about computers."
You might say, "but Dan, I thought you said it was an educational tool? Isn't that what it's for, teaching people who know nothing about computers, about computers?"
If you did say that, I would say "No. The RPi is for teaching people who know nothing about programming, about programming."
This might come as a surprise for some people, but my reasoning for this is twofold.
- There are many people who genuinely cower in fear in front of a computer. I have seen this first hand in my five years working in a computer shop. These people would have a heart attack if you put them in front of a Linux machine.
- Even though they might not suffer a massive coronary, there are still a lot of people who don't want to know about their computer, and definitely don't want to have to set up the overscan on the monitor manually using nano to change the config file in the command line. That's what I had to do, and while I simply found it a little bit tedious, others would genuinely give up and go and buy a Windows computer (because that's not going to cause more problems! (hmm, I think I might have to think up a strategy for pointing out sarcasm in case it isn't immediately obvious)).
After booting it up for the first time, and updating it all by using various sudo apt-get commands (which did crash it the first time) it's now working swimmingly.
So far I've only found one problem, and that is, in part, due to the reason I started learning Python. Put it this way, when I started learning AppleScript, I did it because I knew what it was I wanted to create and I knew that AppleScript could do it. My reason for learning Python is simply because I have nothing to do for the next four months, and that is the problem. From what I know of Python so far, which isn't a great deal, I know that it can do a lot, but because I don't know exactly what it can do, and because I have no prior goal, I don't know what I can do.
So for the moment, my Raspberry Pi project is to think of a Raspberry Pi project.

At CES 2015 I spent all my time at The Venetian. After burnout from visiting too many rooms playing too many female voices, I wandered the halls kind of aimlessly, thinking mostly about whether or not to visit the Bouchon Bakery on the ground floor. Before I reached the elevator, I heard what sounded like a party in one of the rooms and snapped out of my high-calorie reverie.
The closer I came to this room, the more it sounded like a small club playing loud music. When I saw the "Raidho Acoustics" sign by the door, I was even more intrigued. I had read great things about Raidho speakers, but had never even seen one. So when I entered I heard a system with which I was completely unfamiliar. (That's what makes CES so much fun.)
This particular room contained a number of listeners tapping their toes to the music, a pretty happy exhibitor/DJ having a great time spinning digital tunes, and a very minimalistic set of audio componentry, too little in fact to account for the propulsive sound knocking down the walls. I decided the chocolate croissants downstairs would have to wait (a while).
I happened to walk in when Raidho principal Lars Kristensen was playing "Welcome to My World" by Depeche Mode. He was playing his own sampler CD and it was rocking—driving bass line, crystal-clear vocals, and a huge sense of space. I expected more gear but I only saw a pair of fairly compact speakers on the floor about ten feet in front of the backwall. Each slender and beautifully finished speaker was just a little over four feet high. The sign said X-3, and I soon realized the X-3 was a new model somewhere in the middle of the Raidho line, at $30,000/pair far from the top but certainly not inexpensive. Each speaker had an array of four 4" ceramic mid/bass drivers, the highly regarded Raidho ribbon tweeter, and one measly 8" bass driver mounted on the side. There was no way two of these were putting out all that bass, so I looked carefully for subwoofers hidden somewhere in the room. None to be found. I looked at the floor around the speakers for the presumably massive amplifiers, but no amps were to be found either. It was either some sort of trickery, or the Raidho guys were really onto something special.
On a stand in the middle of the room was a smallish black component that looked like it could have been designed by Darth Vader in one of his more creative moments. Sleek, black on black on black, solid metal with holes drilled for cooling, it could well have come from the command center of the Executor. It possessed a huge volume-type control on the front, silky smooth in operation and surrounded by a circle of tiny white LEDs. The curved top plane bore the name "AAVIK" deeply engraved in the metal and three small metal buttons above the volume control. Whatever it did, or however it worked, it was undeniably cool.
Raidho chief designer Michael Børresen then took the floor and told us about the loudspeakers. He also answered questions, the general tenor of which was, "How do you do that?" Unassuming and mild-mannered, he described what sounded like a new way of loading the bass drivers. He quietly extolled the virtues of the ceramic drivers and the almost massless ribbon tweeter. He didn't even mention the Vader box until I asked him about it. Almost nonchalantly, he gave me a brief tour of the device and informed me that he had been working on its design for a while. Aavik is a new company helmed by Børresen and Kristensen, and the U-300 is the first of a new line of electronics they will be introducing. They have also started a cable company called Ansuz Acoustics. Not to be overlooked is their less-expensive speaker line, Scansonic.
In that brief meeting at CES, Børresen explained that the "U" in the U-300 stands for "Unity" and the "300," not surprisingly, for the power output in watts. It was the component powering the X-3s. He said its output doubled to 600Wpc into 4 ohms, and was stable to 2 ohms. He was distinctly not apologetic that it was a Class D design. The burly amp I had been looking for was contained in the svelte Aavik package. Matter-of-factly, he acknowledged that Class D amplification did not enjoy the best reputation in the high-end community. Nevertheless, he stated that design of Class D circuitry had come a long way in the past five years and, after all, he and Lars were forced to improve upon prior Class D design because they wanted the U-300 to have the ability to drive virtually any loudspeaker. In short, Class D was the only way they could get truly high power into a relatively compact package and not worry about heat dissipation. Personally, it doesn't matter to me what class the circuit is, as long as it sounds great. I admired his goal of building a take-no-prisoners integrated amp as his first project for Aavik.
Indeed, the U-300 is more than just a preamp and amplifier in one chassis. It also houses an internal DAC which was playing at the time. (He was using a dCS Puccini transport to feed digits to the U-300.) To complete the "Unity" aspect of the project, Børresen pointed out that the U-300 also contains a state-of-the-art RIAA phonostage. Press one of those buttons on top and start turning the volume control, and bingo—adjustable loading for a moving-coil cartridge. Overall, I thought the sound in the room was terrific and went back to visit three or four times during the show.
Fast forward to the Newport Beach 2015 show. Raidho was again exhibiting and this time Børresen was using the U-300 with the superb X-1 monitor speakers. Robert Harley wrote very highly of the X-1s last year and just as that came to mind Mr. Harley himself walked into the room and sat down next to me. After extolling the virtues of the Raidho ribbon tweeter, he and I simply listened to the great sound. Robert had also enjoyed the U-300 at CES and said we needed to review this amplifier. I was mightily interested in doing it, but was concerned about its (possible) limitations. I had a short discussion with Børresen about use of the U-300 with my reference Magnepan 20.7 speakers. I had several issues. First, I'm a tube guy and, through the years, have only really been satisfied with a tube front-end and large tube amplifiers driving the Maggies. Was the solid-state Class D U-300 going to sound thin, bright, and/or two-dimensional on the planars? Second, the 20.7s are power hogs. Simply put, the more (clean) power, the better. They will do a creditable job with 200Wpc, but require (IMHO) at least 300–500 watts, or more, to really sing in a mid-to-large size room. Believe it or not, if driven properly, the large panels will actually disappear, leaving the listener sitting in a pretty vast acoustic space. (My colleague JHb misquoted me when he commented that imaging must not be that important to me because I use the 20.7s. I specifically wrote that the 20.7s won't image with the best cone-driven systems, but they nevertheless image extremely well and certainly at no less than the same level I hear in a large concert hall, even sitting fairly close to the orchestra.) But could the smallish single Vader box deliver the goods? Michael's nonchalant response to all of my questions: "Don't worry about it."

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana Online Form – PMKSY District Irrigation Plan
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY) online application form: India has made good progress in the industrial sector, but its agrarian sector lacks the luster. Though India has about 142 million of cultivable land, only 45% of it has got irrigation facility.
The remaining land is dependent on rain for its water needs. Uncertain or irregular rain leads to crop failure and farmers make the loss. To deal with the grave situation, Pradhan Mantri has launched Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana.
Details about Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana, PMKSY is a national mission aimed at improved agricultural productivity and better utilization of resources. PMKSY focuses on better irrigation facility at field level, development of cultivable land, enhance ranch water use, implement water-saving technologies, recycling of water etc. PMKSY is targeted at micro-irrigation and end-to-end irrigation projects as well as fixing of poorly executed earlier irrigation projects. With the launching of the plan, the government hopes to provide artificial irrigation facility to 6 lakh and drip irrigation to 5 lakh of arable land.
Implementation of PMKSY
The Krishi Sinchai Yojana has an outlay of ₹500 billion for a period of 5 years for the time period 2015-16 to 2019-20. The Yojana has been formulated and implemented in an area development approach. The plan has adopted decentralized state-level planning and project execution. The states can devise irrigation development plans based on district/blocks irrigation plans. All the States and Union territories are covered under this plan.
The National Steering Committee (NSC) headed by Hon'ble Prime Minister provides guidelines and policy direction for the framework of the programme. National Executive Committee (NEC) headed by Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog will work towards implementation of the programme. The year 2015-16 mainly was focused on water harvesting, water management, and crop alignment.
PMKSY also has set apart Rs 200 crore for promotion of National Agricultural Market, NAM. It will help farmers sell their agriculture product directly to the market and get the better price. The Government also has the plan to fuse budget for PMKSY with the material component of its scheme MGNREGA.
Water Conservation under PMKSY
Though the primary objective of PMKSY is to provide artificial irrigation to 100% arable land, the government with the motto of 'More Crop per Drop' also focuses on water conservation by optimization of water resources and sustainable water preservation. It emphasizes water recycling which is quite expensive and the government has invoked private investment as financial aid for this mission.
Implications of PMKSY
Better irrigation facilities lead to improved agricultural production. It has positive implications on multiple levels. It will not only improve economic conditions of farmers but also helps check the price of food grain and reduce inflation. Surplus production can be exported and it will bring foreign capital influx to the country.
With improved agriculture production, other industries which rely on raw materials from agriculture will also seek growth. Increase in agriculture will reduce imports and the money can be used for some other good cause such as better infrastructure development, the welfare of the people etc.
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana holds lots of promises for better India. If implemented properly, the motto of 'Har Khet ko Pani' will be a step forward to 'Har Kisan ko Achcha Future'!

Europe's Metropolitan cities battle the negative impact of short-term housing
With the goal of figuring out solutions to short-term housing, leaders of European metropolitan cities held talks with European Commission Vice President Margarethe Vestager
- 21 september 2020 14:30
- Karel Král
In recent years, European metropolitan cities have witnessed the growth of real estate properties created solely with the intent of providing short-term housing which in turn became a hit for both tourists and citizens. As a consequence of the rapid growth of these estates, a myriad of problems ensued.
Metropolitan cities, whose historical centres are among the most affected, must now seek the help of the European Commission. Citizens of these areas raised their complaints about the noise, housing prices, complete lack of choice when considering new housing, or the disturbance of peace which are caused by tenets of such short-term housing units.
Tinkering with solutions without damaging the economy
Most European cities facing such issues have attempted to regulate the use of this type of short-term housing. But unfortunately, these efforts have been unsuccessful in no small part due to the unwillingness of digital platforms to provide authorities with useful and crucial pieces of information on their users. The end result is that at this moment, there is nothing that can properly and effectively stop and prevent landlords and digital platforms from continuing their lucrative activities.
Local governments, however, understand and are keenly aware of the importance of tourism and how it meshes with short-term housing opportunities - therefore they do not oppose the concept of short-term housing in principle. Yet the need for specific rules and regulation on the practice remains crucial as authorities require the competences to enforce the law and keep landlords and other beneficiaries accountable.
For that reason, leaders of several European metropolitan cities came together on 17 September with the intent of discussing the implementation of the "Digital Service Act". This Act was introduced by the European Commission Vice-President Margrethe Vestager with the purpose of helping reign in digital platforms by forcing them to deliver critical information and relevant data which are crucial for their effective monitoring and administration. The Act should then ensure better cooperation between said platforms and governmental bodies.
"Better cooperation between digital platforms and local authorities is an essential prerequisite for the proper adoption of the Digital Services Act. It will create a modern and harmonized regulatory framework that respects the needs of national and local authorities while creating a predictable environment for innovative digital services," said Margrethe Vestager, Vice-President of the European Commission.
The adoption of the Digital Service Act is perhaps the best hope for European metropolitan cities in their fight with these modern challenges. For this reason, local governments around Europe are putting their trust in vice-president of European Commission Margrethe Vestager in the hope that this crucial piece of legislation will find its way to enactment and proper implementation.

A couple weeks ago I committed to the Laundry #SwitchandSave Challenge from ARM & HAMMER. I agreed to switch my normal laundry detergent for ARM & HAMMER Crystal Burst Power Paks Laundry Detergent.
Before I agreed to the challenge I had to verify one important detail, and that was that the ARM & HAMMER Crystal Burst Power Paks Laundry Detergent was safe for HE washers. Turns out that wasn't going to be a problem. It is effective in both HE (high efficiency) and standard washers.
I will admit ARM & HAMMER kinda had me at OxiClean. I am a huge fan of OxiClean it seems to clean just about anything. ARM & HAMMER and Oxiclean proved to be a stain fighting pair, getting the tough stains out of my son's baseball uniform.
I usually have to pre-treat these pants in order to get the stains out. This time I took a chance and threw them in the laundry with 2 crystal burst packs. (Per the instructions for tough stains use 2). You can definitely tell that the stains were removed.
One benefit for me is the easy use of the crystal burst packs. I started having my sons do their own laundry. My youngest son can not see the compartment to fill the laundry detergent when it is out so I have to make sure it is full before I remind him to do his laundry. With the ARM & HAMMER Crystal Burst Power Pack Laundry Detergent he can grab a pack from the drawer and throw it in himself.
My clothes came out stain free, bright, and fresh!
Will you take the #SwitchandSave Challenge like I have? Join in the conversation to win $1,000!
The maker of ARM & HAMMER® products challenged me to switch to ARM & HAMMER Crystal Burst Power Paks Laundry Detergent and this summer, they are giving away $12,000 in the ARM & HAMMER Switch & Save Challenge Sweepstakes. To be entered to win one (1) of twelve (12) $1,000 prizes, simply reply to the question below!
Remember to join other ARM & HAMMER Switch & Save conversations for even more chances to win!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Arm & Hammer. The opinions and text are all mine. Official Sweepstakes Rules.

This summer has been out of control busy so far. My hubby graduated from dental school–hooray!! Then after that, we spent the next week packing like crazy….
I would like to pretend that I was sad to leave. In some ways, I was. I have some awesome friends in AZ, many of which are also moving away now. And this was the home where my babies took their first steps.
After the packing/cleaninglikemad we loaded up a VERY full minivan and drove to Las Vegas to spend a week in the fabulous Hilton hotel for a MUCH needed vacation. We spent a lot of time in the pool!
And did some of the other fun stuff Vegas has to offer (NOT the gambling or adult stuff of course!)
We were on the very top floor in a 3 bedroom suite. It had a great view! I loved the room. We also walked around and visited the Shark Aquarium.
But then my hubby's ipad, iphone, wedding ring, and watch all got stolen. That put a damper on things!
After driving some more (you can see Lukey hiding under his blanket in the carseat.) And finally we arrived at our new home in Utah. But our stuff is not here yet. And tomorrow is my birthday! So we had a big family dinner at my parent's house on Sunday.
The next week is full of taking care of business! And stay tuned for an exciting announcement about the Honeybear Lane shop!

Chelsea want Isco, Khedira AND Varane but will resist Real Madrid's offers for Ramires
CHELSEA are set to resist interest from Real Madrid in Ramires despite wanting the players the Spanish club have made available in part-exchange.
Real are thought to be lining up a £25m bid to lure Ramires away from Stamford Bridge, but are reportedly also willing to include Sami Khedira and Isco in the deal to bring the price down.
It is thought that Real would look to capitalise on Chelsea's pursuit of Cesc Fabregas by asking Chelsea if that made Ramires dispensable.
However, Jose Mourinho is adamant that the Brazilian international is going nowhere but could look to turn the tables on Real by moving for Isco and Khedira in any case.
The fact that Real is willing to include them in a deal for Ramires has alerted Mourinho to the pair's availability and he remains fans of both players.
I'm not thinking about interest from Chelsea right now.
Indeed, Mourinho could even target a triple raid on his former club as he has not given up hope of bringing Raphael Varane to Chelsea.
Mourinho wants Varane as he looks to strengthen his defence ahead of next season with Kurt Zouma set to be loaned out again.
But the 21-year-old Frenchman insists he won't contemplate a move until after the World Cup.
Last week he said: "I'm not thinking about interest from Chelsea right now.
"There's a World Cup to prepare for; now's not the time to dwell on that sort of stuff."

How Patients' Benefit From Medication Coupons
According to WHO, every person has a right to access and enjoy health services as deserved for better living. This includes having access to the different required medications and prescriptions with utmost convenience. To give the right medication for patients, manufacturers ensure there are dealers in certain regions in a way to ensure the patients gain ease of access from any corner of the globe. Regulating authorities on matters of health providers with a platform where a provision of medication is made easy and accessible to a wider population possible.
One of the biggest hindrances in accessing medication is the high cost attributed to manufacturing and distribution. The high cost is often a hindrance and in such a way, there are measures that are created to ensure patients always get the desired medication as desired. Different bodies that campaign for better health have in place modalities that aim at ensuring the patient is given a reprieve in sourcing for the desired drugs. There are instances where the manufacturers offer discounts and coupons to patients with an aim to help them cater to the medical expenses.
At certain times, there are coupons that are provided to patients to use in acquisition of desired medication. Benefits that come with each coupon may vary with the manufacturer but the intent is to ensure there is a benefit passed on to the patient in regard to better health. Stakeholders also come in and partner with manufacturers and in such way help create coupon packages that benefit the target population. Patients therefore need to seek for the coupons provided at varying times and enjoy the benefits offered.
Coupons offered for medicinal purposes are normally posted through different platforms. Common platform where theses are available are the consumer platforms that deal with health products. Patients may also seek for this information from dealers who supply with medications or the health service providers. The internet is also a reliable source to gather information on coupons especially those operated by manufacturers and other stakeholders.
In modern times, internet use has made it easy to access information. There are stakeholders in the health industry who research and compile information on the provided coupons in every season. To enjoy reading this information, the patient needs to subscribe for email alerts and other forms of notification when there are offers available that relate to individual needs.
Cost of health management is not easy. Patients must undertake a responsibility to financially cater for the medication costs that are required for the prevailing health condition. With the high cost and responsibility that comes with this undertaking, it is important to ensure the available offers are optimally used. Patients therefore must seek for all available avenues that inform when the offers are available. Factual sources however must be sought in this quest.

Claude Monet
Oscar-Claude Monet was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant, which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris. Monet's ambition of documenting the French countryside led him to adopt a method of painting the same scene many times in order to capture the changing of light and the passing of the seasons

Aching legs from a long day on the mountains? Well use the Firefly™ to help you recover. The Firefly™ device works by activating your body's own neuromuscular system to increase blood flow to the muscles of the lower leg and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) faster as you recover at rest.
The device uses pioneering OnPulseâ"¢ neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) technology to trigger the body's built-in mechanisms by delivering painless electrical impulses to the common peroneal nerve, activating the muscle pumps of the lower leg that return blood towards the heart.
"Recovery is a key part of the athlete's training process to enhance physical preparation and performance. Training causes stress on the body that results in fatigue. During the recovery process the body adapts to these stresses caused by training and comes back stronger, fitter and enhanced ready for performance. Recovery is the crucial part of an athlete's training, but is often overlooked." - Nick Grantham
