Zebras follow their memory when migrating
Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 05/23/2017. Zebras may use memory to guide their migration each year. Memory based on past average conditions provides a clear signal that best directs zebras to their destination. In contrast, current vegetation conditions along the way are less important for the direction of the migration according to a computer simulation by researchers from Senckenberg. The study, published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, highlights that migration routes of large terrestrial mammals such as zebras could be more inflexible than previously thought.
Its incredible to watch: each year thousands of animals, including zebras, wildebeests and gazelles, migrate in turn with the seasons between foraging grounds. The animals migrate long distances in their search for sufficient and highly nutritious forage. While science has explained certain aspects of this migration, it is not fully understood how the animals know where to go.
Chloe Bracis, a researcher at the German Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre and the Goethe University Frankfurt, has found that memory is the key to directing zebra migration: "Zebras appear to migrate to the location where foraging conditions were best in the past. They seem to navigate to their destination based on memory, and importantly, forecast conditions several months after arrival.
As part of the study, Bracis and her colleague Thomas Mueller modelled migration routes of zebras using computer simulations. Zebras migrate around 250 kilometers from the Okavango Delta, Botswana to the Makgadikgadi grasslands in November. "We tested two mechanisms which can influence the direction. Simulated zebras could use perception and sense, for example, the vegetation green up in their current surroundings. Alternatively, zebras could use memory, i.e. information from previous migrations, to forecast where to go ", explains Mueller.
The researchers compared the simulated tracks with real-life tracks from GPS-tagged zebras which were collected by other researchers. Memory using past average conditions was able to predict the migration destination of the modelled zebras up to four times closer than those modelled using perception to find their way. Memory even beats perception at the largest that is omniscient perceptual ranges, says Bracis and adds However perception is still important. Other studies have shown the importance of perception of current local conditions on the timing and speed of the zebra migration, but these may be less important for zebras in terms of direction.
Migration routes of zebras are threatened by climate change and land use change in southern Africa. The zebra migration examined in this study, for instance, was blocked by a fence from the late 60s until 2004. The researchers therefore see the study as contributing to the conservation of large migratory terrestrial mammals such as zebras. "One can only protect migration routes efficiently if one knows how the animals migrate. If memory of past conditions informs the direction migrating animals take, this suggests migration routes could be relatively inflexible, concludes Mueller.

I am Home at Last!!! Quietly navigating a little jet lag this weekend, but I was anxious to make something!!! I had been away from my supplies for nearly 7 weeks....
While I was away, I did take advantage of a few sales I had found on two daily deal scrapbooking sites. The first item was from Flowers to Flourishes.com One day they had the Amy Tangerine Calendar stamp. As I recall it was under $5. I like that the dates are in a stack, making them easy to switch out, and that it has a case and a grooved stamp handle that accepts the tiny stamps fairly easily. Total stamp area is 1 1/2 inches by 1 inch. Tiny, but it has some good uses to make birthday cards, document specific days in your journal, or perhaps a desk calendar for holiday gifts. I think it was a great value and design.
The next few items came from Blitsy.com Blitsy posts weekly deals and they stick around for several days. You can find a number of craft supplies on the site, not just scrapbooking. The site does require membership, which is free. Here is my referral code:Blitsy.com
I purchased 2 things this time, all glue products. All from Adhesive Tech. The first is their Fine Line glue, it has a very fine point, and the claim is you can write with it. I have yet to try this out, but will share the results when I do.
The second item was Adhesive Tech's Gloodle system. This consists of a gun, that utilizes a plunger system, and a 2 oz glue refill that comes with 4 tips. I found the system very easy to set up, and easy to use. The consistency of the craft glue is very creamy, dries clear, and very quickly. The cons: The glue gun is much larger than I thought, and there is no cap provided to place on your tip once the gun is set up.
Overall, I like the product and the entire purchase was under $12. Refills are less than $5, which is perfect for me. The refill is 2 oz , same size as a Scotch Quick Dry glue. This will work out well for me, as I sometimes have difficulty finding Scotch Quick Dry locally, and it is often priced over $5.
Here is a video I created discussing all of the products I purchased:
Thank you for reading and watching!

Claims disgraced television presenter Jimmy Savile abused children in more than 20 children's homes and schools across England - including three in Leeds - are to be investigated.
Allegations dating back to the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s have been handed to the Department for Education (DfE) following a review of documents by the Metropolitan Police.
Local authorities and other relevant institutions have been asked to further investigate the claims, Education Secretary Michael Gove said in a written statement.
Among the children's homes and schools to be further investigated, three are in the home city of the Leeds-born DJ - Northways Residential School, Beechcroft Children's Home and Notre Dame Grammar School.
Another institution, the former Henshaws School for the Blind, was listed as being in Leeds by the DfE, though the charity that runs it said today it did not know if the allegations focused on its old school in Manchester or Harrogate.
Harrogate-based Henshaws Society for Blind People said in a statement: "The Secretary of State for Education has announced today that information about Jimmy Saville relating to 17 children's homes and schools in England dating back to the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s has been passed on to those organisations to investigate.
"We can confirm that we are one of the organisations that he has named as looking at historic allegations of abuse that are connected with Operation Yewtree and which refer to events many years ago.
"These relate to contact with the former Henshaws School for the Blind. It is right that steps are taken to explore these allegations, to find out what happened and why, and we will be providing what evidence we can to the enquiry and will be putting as much effort as it takes into providing the enquiry with the information they need.
"Child sexual abuse is an abhorrent crime and we committed to ensuring that all those who are vulnerable are protected."
John Grady, spokesman for the Diocese of Leeds, which runs Notre Dame Grammar School, said: "This is not a new accusation. When it was first brought to my notice shortly after the [ITV] documentary I initiated my own investigation and could find no evidence that Jimmy Savile had any contact with Notre Dame school or any of our [diocesan] children's homes.
"He did have contact with a children's home that wasn't ours but that was one where some of our children resided.
"It doesn't surprise me that this investigation has been announced - the police have to follow inquiries through to their conclusion."
In relation to the probes at Northways Residential School and Beechcroft Children's Home Tom Riordan, chief executive of Leeds City Council said: "Following the statement by the Secretary of State for Education this morning we can confirm that we have been approached to carry out investigations in relation to two establishments in Leeds.
"We are now liaising with the DfE in order to carry out these investigations. We are unable to comment any further at this stage."
Other schools and homes in focus are spread across England, including Bournemouth, Devon, Gloucestershire, London and Manchester among others.
Mr Gove said that, to ensure consistency with the NHS Savile investigations, he would repeat arrangements put in place by the Department of Health to oversee the new inquiries.
Human rights lawyer Lucy Scott-Moncrieff will oversee the process, undertaking a similar role to Kate Lampard in the NHS trust investigations, he added.
"I have asked Lucy Scott-Moncrieff to ensure that investigating organisations take all practicable steps to establish what happened and why at the time of the incidents, and any lessons there might be to inform current safeguarding practice in our schools and children's homes," Mr Gove said.
Alan Collins, abuse lawyer at Slater and Gordon which represents 140 of Savile's alleged victims, said: "We welcome any investigation that will uncover further how widespread Savile's abuse was. It is important that we know exactly when, where and how this predatory paedophile committed his horrific crimes.
"Mr Gove's announcement comes in the same week that he said in the Commons Government would investigate the possibility of introducing mandatory reporting for heads of institutions where children and the vulnerable are cared for.
"The victims we represent believe that had such a law been in place when Savile was alive the silence he shrouded himself in which allowed his abuse to go undiscovered for so long would have been broken.
"It is frankly shocking that people in authority who become aware of abuse are still not committing a crime if they decide to cover it up."
Exposure: The Other Side Of Jimmy Savile, which was shown on ITV in October 2012, ultimately led to a joint review by the Metropolitan Police and NSPCC into allegations that the television presenter abused women, girls and boys.
The findings of the review, published in January last year, saw 214 criminal offences, including 34 rapes, recorded against Savile's name across the UK between 1955 and 2009.
Uncovering the scale of his depravity in their report, detectives said the Top Of The Pops presenter sexually abused a teenager at a hospice, one of 14 medical sites he used to prey on his victims.
He also committed 14 offences at schools across the country, partly when children had written to him for his popular BBC series Jim'll Fix It.
A national investigation known as Operation Yewtree was launched after the abuse claims.
Detectives have run the investigation in three strands - allegations involving Savile, those involving Savile and others, and those involving others.
A number of high-profile names have since been charged under the operation, including veteran entertainer Rolf Harris.

I got Canon EOS Kiss 450D (Japan). Recently, the problem i encountered is ERR 99. I have read an article that it might be with the body lense "connection" and some might arise from battery problem. Also, im wondring whenever I charge the battery, after only 20 minutes the charger would blink red and green. Unlike before that when its already full charge it would only change from red to green. So i was thinking the ERR 99 might also be due to the battery. Is this really normal for the charger? Is

PCC graduates and students use their training in remarkable ways. Read about how God is using them in their field of study.
Youth ministries grad John Lafreniere ('01) found himself pleading with God for answers after raising 40% support to start a church in his hometown of Fairfield, Connecticut. Eight months earlier and just weeks after his son's birth, his wife Abby had been diagnosed with ALS, a debilitating disease that will take a person's life in 2–5 years. "The only thing that kept me going forward was the grace of God," said John.
Although they had the option of discontinuing their church plant, John said, "I looked at my wife and asked, 'Abby, do you want to keep going?' She looked at me and said, 'This is what God has called us to do; this is what we're going to do. There are people in Fairfield that need us. There's a church that needs to be started. We need to keep going.'"
So they kept going, raising the remaining 60% support they needed and starting Fairfield Baptist Church in the local elementary school. During that time, John said that "Abby's resolve was such an example to me," his wife's desire to be an active part in their church ministry inspiring him. "Through the course of this disease, Abby remained faithful to church and helped disciple the ladies of our church. She was a faithful witness and led several of her caregivers to Christ."
With his wife's encouragement and his training at PCC, John believed the Lord had prepared him for both the pastorate and the trials ahead. "Some of my greatest training came outside the classroom at PCC as I was able to lead a neighborhood Bible club as well as help at a local church," he said. "The atmosphere and practical messages were crucial to keeping my focus on God while pursuing my academics."
That God-ward focus was mirrored every time he looked at Abby. Six months into her disease, she lost the ability to walk, and after eight months, she lost significant ability to move her arms. Yet through all of her trials, she kept a heavenly perspective. In a video recounting her battle with ALS, she said, "We don't understand everything that goes into our lives and things that happen, but God knows. And we're just told that we need to trust in Him."
As John continued to trust in God, he watched his wife slip further away. "One night, I was begging God for some perspective in what I was going through, and He gave me this thought," said John. "Abby is my modern-day parable of how dependent I should be on God. Without my help, Abby could not do basic tasks, and so am I without my God."
This realization began a journey that would influence not just John and his family but his entire ministry. Dependence on God became his focus as his wife's condition worsened, as he acted as caregiver to his wife, father to their son Elijah, and pastor to their fledgling ministry.
Yet through it all, he could see God's divine hand guiding, encouraging, and promising that the best was yet to come. On February 24, 2017, John said goodbye to his wife on this earth, knowing that her first steps out of that wheelchair were as she walked with the Lord.
"The grace of God continues to overwhelm us as we continue to press forward by faith," said John. "We know there's a bigger plan, and we just want God to get the glory."
In the months that followed, John watched as the Lord continued to glorify His name, developing their little church body into a strong core of forty people—people on fire for the Lord. They joined in tract blitzes, door-to-door evangelism, and community events. They came alongside John and Elijah, encouraging them as a second family.
"Losing a spouse is obviously difficult; but in this trial, I have seen God's grace give us healing, understanding, and a deeper perspective," said John. "I have learned to more deeply trust the Lord. Most people trust God to provide more for them, but I have been taught that true trust is allowing the Lord to take away something that you think you need. Pressing forward by faith is one step of trust and another step of obedience. I don't know all that God has planned for my future, but I know I have a Heavenly Father that will give me exactly what I need."

Having frequented Gourmet Burger Kitchen (GBK) many times myself, and dragging friends along relentlessly as well, I can honestly recommend it as a fail-safe burger place. It's a brilliant student haunt, with customizable milkshakes a plenty, from peanut butter to lime, and well worth a visit or two.
With a wonderfully broad menu that often showcases specials including buffalo and Persian lamb, it's a burger lover's dream.
Don't stop at mains though, sweet potato fries have long evaded my cooking skills and GBK is one restaurant that does them perfectly, along with complimentary 'baconnaise' to die for.
The GBK app gives all students 30% off the bill, and the £5.95 lunch menu offer are just more little extras that makes this restaurant, in my opinion, a brilliant cheap treat for all students.

Though the previous two installments were made specifically for television, "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" finds the mega-hit franchise moving to movie theaters. The director and co-choreographer of all three pictures, Kenny Ortega, does have a background in theatrical features, as choreographer of such (ahem) classics as "Xanadu" and "Dirty Dancing," while among his previous feature directing efforts is "Newsies," a knockabout musical about an 1899 child labor dispute.
Yet what does the average squealing "HSM" fan care about such details? The central performers (Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale) have become megastars to the tween set, complete with real-world scandals and gossip. The film's story -- it's senior year, there's a show to put on and colleges to apply to, decisions to be made -- puts them cleanly on display in all their fresh-scrubbed, impeccably lighted and styled glory.
As expected, any romance in the film comes from a distinctly pre-adolescent point of view, in which cuddling in a backyard hammock and a closed-mouth kiss is as heavy as it gets between a boy and girl. As shown in the very first shot of the film -- Efron's face in tight close-up, sweaty and panting -- as well as the astonishing precision of keeping the hemlines of Hudgens' and Tisdale's skirts just so, the film trades in the sort of innocently teasing sex appeal that the Disney brand has specialized in at least since Annette Funicello was fitted for her first Mouseketeer sweater.

We view innovation not as a project or a team, but as a core competency instilled across our entire organisation and embedded in the way we work. Our capabilities in game design, digital platforms, e-commerce, retail operations and marketing has made us one of the most successful operators of an interactive lottery.
Alongside our proven ability to responsibly transform and grow lotteries, Camelot Global brings financial stability and a commitment to long-term investment through our owner, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.
Our sister company, Camelot UK, has operated the UK National Lottery since 1994. Camelot UK has an unrivalled track record for success, helping the UK National Lottery deliver over £62 billion to winners and £36 billion to good causes to date.
Click on each location to meet some of the team!
We do this through three distinct propositions to lotteries and lottery owners:
Camelot Global also supports large and complex technology programmes such as vendor transitions and mass retail roll-out.
As well as advising lotteries on a short-term basis, Camelot Global also partners with client lotteries on a long-term basis to support the delivery of their chosen strategies.
Camelot Global works in partnership with its shareholder, to identify and support the management of strategic investments within the lottery sector.
As an example of this partnership, Camelot Global supported it's shareholder in acquiring its majority stake in Premier Lotteries Ireland ("PLI"), the operator of the Irish National Lottery. This transaction saw PLI acquire a 20-year licence to operate the Irish National Lottery for an upfront payment of 405m.
Following an international competitive tender process, Premier Lotteries Ireland (PLI) was awarded a 20-year licence to operate the Irish National Lottery in February 2014. Camelot Global was appointed to deliver the significant technical and business transition on behalf of PLI. Under the terms of the licence PLI had until 30 June 2015 to complete the transition, however utilising Camelot Global's strong project management experience, set itself the ambitious target of completion before the end of 2014.
The transition in Ireland was supported by PLI's new gaming technology supplier, Intralot Ireland, a subsidiary of the Intralot Group.
The transition programme saw the roll-out of state of the art modern technology, including two new data centres and infrastructure, a new 3G and ADSL retail communications network, new gaming systems with Intralot's Lotos host and new Photon terminals for all retailers. In addition existing business systems were upgraded, new business processes implemented, all staff and over 3700 retailers were trained on the new technology. A new contact centre team was established for retailer and interactive players, along with new technical operations and second line support teams for managing and supporting the technical operation of the lottery.
The upgraded technology will facilitate the growth of sales through the extensive retail network, as well as providing increased options for customers to play online. It will also support PLI's future plans to bring new innovations to the lottery and further enhance the player experience, with exciting game and channel enhancements to follow in 2015.
Camelot Global supported the Irish National Lottery to transfer across all existing staff in line with Governmental requirements. It assisted in organisation re-design and recruitment activities to prepare the new PLI organisation for day one readiness which included establishment of new payroll and pensions.
In November 2014 Camelot Global successfully delivered the ambitious technical and business transition programme of the Irish National Lottery, seven months ahead of schedule. While challenging, the ambitious target of completing transition before Christmas 2014 enabled PLI to maximise sales over the busy festive period. The seamless transition was completed on Sunday 30 November 2014 when, just after 8am, the retail terminal estate connected successfully to the Intralot system. The new interactive lottery site was also successfully launched the same day.
PLI now has a new, modern and flexible technical platform to meet the needs of the new licence period and support the growth and strategic plans of PLI.
As part of this project, Camelot Global has opened an Irish branch, Camelot Global Services Ireland (CGSI), which will provide on-the-ground expertise, support and assistance. The team in Ireland will operate the gaming systems on behalf of PLI and provide technical support, as well as provide Contact Centre support for both retailers and interactive players.
A key component of Camelot Global's Irish team will be its new iLottery function, which provides PLI with a dedicated and specialist interactive managed service to develop and grow the PLI digital channel. Camelot Global will draw on its experience from the UK, where it supports Europe's largest interactive lottery, specifically, this means Camelot Global will provide online marketing, web delivery and, in due course, a new digital technology platform for the Irish National Lottery.
In November 2011 the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission (MSLC) issued an RFP for consultant services for assistance in defining their future strategic plans and technology vision. In addition the MSLC were looking for assistance in procurement of appropriate new lottery host and agent hardware such as terminals and a multi-media solution to help achieve their strategic goals. The MSLC wished to update terminals and their lottery host systems to support their strategic goals, and equip them to be able to respond to emerging technology, consumer and legislative trends.
For the successful bidder this would involve research and reporting of state-of-the-art on-line gaming systems; evaluating options for system configurations for a new MSLC system; identifying options for prospective RFRs; developing and issuing agreed upon RFRs; and assistance during configuration and installation of selected systems.
As the successful bidder, Camelot Global commenced work with the MSLC in December 2012.
During the initial phase Camelot Global made sure to understand MSLC's existing operations and processes. This involved a current state assessment and project definition in which Camelot Global conducted meetings with key stakeholders to understand their business, their thinking and frustrations with current systems, confirming the project's objectives and scope, workshops to run through their current systems, review of existing documentation, agent visits and meetings with key team managers.
The next stage involved determining the future aspirations in terms of both business and technology strategies of the MSLC. This then led to Camelot Global assisting in the definition of the optimal technology architecture and components that would help MSLC to achieve their strategic goals.
As some of the recommendations could be perceived as breaking away from the traditional models in North American lotteries it was agreed to issue an RFI (Request For Information) to market in order to validate key elements of the technology architecture and gain potential vendor input. Camelot Global assisted in the input for and production of the RFI which would help improve and target the eventual RFR(s) (Request for Response) and procurement processes.
The RFI successfully achieved its objectives and the project has progressed into the final stages of RFR generation. The conclusion of the procurement process will lead to the MSLC achieving a multi-supplier and multi-channel model giving them an open and flexible architecture. This will enable them to achieve their known strategic objectives as well as to continue to respond to evolving market conditions, technology developments and player attitudes.
In July 2013 the Upstate New York Gaming Economic Development Act of 2013, passed legislation, which was subsequently approved by the State electorate, to authorize four upstate destination gaming resorts to enhance tourism development.
In anticipation of the need to remain a relevant gaming option in the face of this increased competition, the New York State Gaming Commission Division of Lottery issued an RFP in September 2013 for market research regarding alternative approaches for the future of lottery in New York State. Following a competitive RFP process Camelot Global was announced as the successful bidder.
The objective of Camelot Global's engagement with the NYSL was to provide alternative approaches for the lottery in New York State to maximise returns to funding for State education The initial term of the contract required Camelot Global to conduct in-depth market research and analyses to deliver a comprehensive five year Business Plan within 45 calendar days covering strategic approaches for the future of lottery in New York State.
Camelot Global developed the business plan using its bespoke strategy development and execution tool 'ISPEX', which places the consumer at the heart of decision making, ensuring that all strategies were built on insight or understanding of the NYSL's consumers and best practice. This approach has been successfully deployed and proven by Camelot Global in both the U.K., North American and European market places.
In undertaking the development of the business plan Camelot Global carried out in-depth market research and analysis of New York State beginning with a macro assessment of the political, economic, social and technology trends ("PEST") as well as analysis of New York State Lottery sales including performance by game and channel and how the lottery's product offer compares against its peers.
Camelot Global also conducted significant field research involving six focus groups surveyed across NYC and Albany, 1000 consumers surveyed via online questionnaire (both players and non-players), visits to 143 retailers throughout the State in locations including Albany, NYC, Buffalo and Syracuse and a futurology report into long-term consumer macro trends.
The business plan was successfully delivered on time, in full, including 19 opportunities identified across the business to help the NYSL ensure continued growth and funding for State education.
The business plan covered opportunities to improve games, drive excellence in retail while increasing online presence, improve impact of marketing campaigns, maximise spend effectiveness of high value suppliers and organisational and process changes to increase business efficiency.
For each opportunity identified Camelot Global outlined timelines, revenue potential, resource required, cost of implementation and identified which opportunities were best suited to operation by the NYSL and recommendations for use of outside vendors
Compared to a "do nothing" scenario the business plan developed by Camelot Global showed that following all the initiatives combined represented the opportunity for the NYSL to grow sales by $7.8bn producing an additional $2.6bn in returns to funding for State education in the next five years.
Having completed the initial term of the contract Camelot Global will now work with the NYSL, at their request, on an hourly basis to support the further refinement and Implementation of the business plan moving forward to realize the forecasted growth in funding for State education.
To further build on its success as one of the largest online lotteries in the world and establish world-class player relationships Camelot Global's in-house product development team has developed and built a new revolutionary iLottery platform. The new platform can be used with any host gaming system worldwide and was launched in the UK for The National Lottery at the beginning of September 2014 and will be introduced in Ireland from 2015.
The launch of the iLottery platform in the UK saw more than six million registered users and over 195 million transactions moved across from the old site in the first 24 hours. The new National Lottery site also attracted over 20,000 new registrations in the first week.
Camelot Global has made a significant investment in building up a highly experienced in-house technology capability, drawing on a wealth of experience from both the lottery and technology sectors. This has enabled the rapid development and continuing evolution of one of the world's largest online lottery platforms.
Seen as catalyst for change within digital lottery, the iLottery platform needed to be flexible both in its design and through the mode in which it was delivered, all the while upholding integrity and adhering to tough regulatory and legal requirements of the Gambling Commission, the regulator of the UK National Lottery.
The engineering team applies the latest thinking and best practices for agile development, somewhere between Scrum and Kanban playing to one or the other more as appropriate. Underpinning this is a strong focus on testing at every level, from unit tests to full stack acceptance tests, combined with continuous integration meaning that tens of thousands of checks run every time code changes are committed.
The team is further subdivided into cross-functional and largely autonomous groups of 5-8 members, who take ownership for the delivery of a stream of work, this allows the team to scale and deliver on multiple initiatives concurrently.
The success of the model is evident in the shift from bi-annual releases with the previous platform, to regular drops of new functionality into production multiple times per month.
The cutting edge iLottery platform has the capability to help lotteries worldwide in two main ways:
Firstly, it will increase participation and revenues, because it allows players the freedom to play anytime, anywhere. The new system provides a suite of products that can be customised to any market and has been designed to give players a tailored experience depending on what device they use to access the site - mobile, tablet, PC. The new platform also delivers a transactional mobile service; allowing consumers to buy tickets for draw based games and play a selection of Instant Win Games on their mobile.
Secondly, the modern platform can be rapidly enhanced to meet the needs of the individual lottery - significantly improving the speed to market and reducing the costs associated with legacy platforms. The introduction of automation, which improves the quality and timeframes associated with testing, will also allow lotteries to be more agile and responsive to consumer needs - ensuring that they can move at the speed of their players.
The September 2014 launch of the platform in the UK saw more than six million registered users and over 195 million transactions moved across from the old site in the first 24 hours. The new National Lottery site also attracted over 20,000 new registrations in the first week and has handled a peak of 400 full user registrations per minute, including Experian credit check. It is capable of handling 50,000 transactions per minute and has taken £1.25m in transactions in the hour before draw with no slow-down to the user experience of the website.
Andy Duncan, Chief Executive of Camelot UK Lotteries Limited, said: "The launch of this new platform has been an overwhelming success that was delivered seamlessly by the in-house team. The feedback from our players has also been very positive, with most users loving the new design, layout and functionality - especially the ability to play Instant Win Games on their mobile phones, a first in the UK. The new site has, and continues to, attract new registrations and we have seen a significant uplift in incremental sales from mobile and tablet devices, which is great news for National Lottery Good Causes across the UK."
Nigel Railton, Chief Executive of Camelot Global, commented; "We are extremely pleased to announce that we have added iLottery services to our open lottery platform, which can be implemented into the lottery market in any jurisdiction. Achieving a multi-channel experience - incorporating both retail and digital sales - is vital for the future health of lotteries worldwide. This new platform enables lotteries to adapt quickly to consumer demands and gives players the choice to play when they want on any device. Following its successful launch in the UK, we will be installing the new platform in Ireland - to ensure that the Irish National Lottery can also offer a truly integrated player experience. We look forward to working with other lotteries throughout the world to implement our innovative iLottery and in-lane solutions - enabling them to satisfy untapped digital and retail expansion opportunities, and return more money for beneficiaries."
In October 2013 Camelot Global responded to an RFP from the Kentucky Lottery Corporation (KLC) for a Retail Operations Assessment and Related Services. This was awarded to Camelot Global in December 2014 and executed in April to May 2015.
The deliverable was for Camelot Global to write and present to the KLC's Executive a detailed review covering all areas of the Lottery's retail operations.
The key areas in focus were:
Camelot Global completed the following activities as part of preparing the detailed report:
The final report and presentation were delivered and presented on time in May 2014.
The report made 7 recommendations focused around 3 key focus areas. These were made to directly improve the KLC's retail operations, shape their future retail strategy and deliver additional revenue to the Commonwealth for College Scholarships and Grants.
As a result of the report Camelot Global were invited to submit a further statement of work to assist the KLC's Senior Management Team in implementing many of these recommendations. This was approved in September 2014 and delivered in stages over the next 8 months to May 2015.
The KLC delivered record sales and revenue to the Commonwealth for the 2015 fiscal year. The KLC Executive attribute a high proportion of this growth to the implementation of many of the recommendations made by Camelot Global.
In September 2014 the Arkansas Bureau of Legislative Research announced an agreement with Camelot Global to provide a review of the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery for the Arkansas Lottery Commission Legislative Oversight Committee, a committee of the Arkansas General Assembly.
The deliverable was for Camelot Global to prepare a "Detailed Report" for the Bureau of Legislative Research and also present an "Executive Summary" in the form of a presentation to the Arkansas General Assembly by early-December 2014.
The key areas in focus were: In-depth review of the lottery business drivers, strategy review, business planning, organization review, governance review and recommendations for the future plan of the business including establishing core principals for the future organization.
Camelot Global completed the following activities as part of preparing the detailed report:
Both the Detailed Report and Executive Summary were delivered and presented on time.
The report identified opportunities for the Lottery to significantly improve it's business and strategic planning processes, organization structure and highlighted significant revenue growth potential.
The key recommendations included:
Compared to a "do nothing" scenario the report showed an opportunity to grow revenue to Scholarships (net income) by approximately $140m over the next 5 years.

IN CASE ANY BODY ELSE IS IN THE SAME SCENARIO AS SAINIside SO AS AN ANSWERED HER IT IS.
Thats good question simple answer NO once the holes are drilled you have limited options of what you can use to replace them as sensors heads are all different sizes (so most times we are required to change the bumper bar cover) Now when i say limited options i mean limited options that are better in sensors head style and reliability we use Ultra Sleek Parking Sensors because of there sleek stylish sensor head and programmable functions they are unbeatable.
Hope this helps someone in this forum
Remember always check your Parking Sensor Quality. We see this all the time customers buy Parking Sensors and have them fitted, and then they realise that they just dont work as they are suppose to, and now you realise you should have spent bit extra and bought Quality Auto Parking Sensors.
Now you have the same issue above to rectify this with Quality Parking Sensors
Hopefully now with this knowledge above you don't get caught out, but if you do ever get stuck in this predicament we can help you.

Survival Card 2 – The Safety Kit that Fits in your Wallet
I'm a fan of that Survival Show, you know the one, where they drop groups of people on an island with nothing but the clothes on their back, and some rice. My husband likes to think he would do well on a show like that. On the other hand, I'd just want to hide on the other side of the island and hope everyone forgot about me. Oh, and I'd try to get away with having this next cool gadget hidden in my sneaker…
Check out the Survival Card 2, a small gizmo that can stack the cards in your favor when it comes to surviving almost any unexpected accident, weather event, disaster, or game show. The Survival Card is actually a 2 inch serrated knife, made of stainless steel, a magnesium alloy fire starter, a red LED safety light, and a survival whistle, all encased in a perfectly portable, 2 oz, credit card sized package.
The Survival Card also contains a built in pass thru for a lanyard, a small toothpick, and a tweezer. So whether you wear it around your neck, on your backpack, or just pop it in your purse, pocket or wallet, you'll have almost everything you might need to keep you "in the game" If you'd like to get your hands on one, and have around 20 bucks to spare, head on over to amazon.com… and by the way, how would they know if a contestant had something like this hidden in their shoe, do they search them???

I'll be a Guest of Honor at the North American Science Fiction Convention 2017!
I am utterly honored and super psyched to share that I will be a Guest of Honor at the North American Science Fiction Convention in 2017. Also known as Nasfic this is the convention that is held across from a Worldcon when a Worldcon is held outside of the US (and a Worldcon is a large science fiction convention that moves from city to city throughout the world each year).
Next year, in 2017, Nasfic will be in Puerto Rico in the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel and Casino in San Juan, Puerto Rico from July 6-9, 2017.
More details at their website.
Thank you to the people behind San Juan 2017 who thought of me. I will do my best to make this an awesome NASFIC. Thank you to everyone who voted for Puerto Rico. It's exciting to see an event like this in the Caribbean.
Of note, Nalo Hopkinson will be the Guest of Honor at World 75 in Helsinki, Finland. So, as far as Caribbean Guests for 2017, we have you all covered!
I'll look forward to seeing you there.

I have a beautiful side of salmon and about an hour till dinner. Any flavor ideas that will add but not detract from the fish?
This is a family favourite from a Joanne Good cookbook (I only have the recipe not the book). It's for fillets but does well for a large piece.
Preheat over to 425F (220C)
Baking dish sprayed with vegetable spray
1/4c Chopped green onions
1/2c. Chicken stock
5tsp. Brown sugar
1tbsp. Black bean sauce
2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
2tsp. Soy sauce
2tsp. Sesame oil
1 1/4 tsp. cornstarch
3/4tsp. Minced ginger root
1/2tsp. Minced garlic
Put salmon fillets in single layer in prepared baking dish.
Sauce: in saucepan whisk together stock, brown sugar, black bean sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, ginger, & garlic; cool over medium heat, stirring, for 4 min , or until sauce thickens slightly.
Pout over fish & bake uncovered 10 min. Per incl(2.5 cm) thickness of fish or until fish flakes easily when pierced with fork.
Serve sprinkled with green onions.
Sauce will keep in fridge for up to 48h before using.
Good with other fish
This is always a hit!
Smear the flesh with some prepared mustard and minced herbs. Bake/Broil until medium rare. I'm not a fan of cooked salmon, so I like it on the rare side. You can also try it with a miso.
If you have a grill, that would be the ultimate. Salmon is so flavorful that you don't really need anything but olive oil, pepper and sea salt. Why cover up that fabulous flavor?
I agree with grilling or baking with minimal extra flavors. I've gotten a great reaction when I've prepared it simply with fresh lemon juice squeezed on top along with chopped shallots and fresh dill for some extra flavor. ,
Yes, keep it minimal. And dill is indeed a good salmon herb. No grill? You can cook it in parchment packets. But don't hide the real flavor of the salmon.
If you have some fresh dill and cream on hand, how about a dill cream sauce with a just a touch of lemon zest at the end? Just cook the salmon under the broiler or in the oven with a little sauce and spoon the dill cream sauce on top. Classic, but delicious.
I agree with jsdunbar. I make a similar dish. Another of my favorites is to make a sweet balsamic glaze. Sear the salmon on both sides in a skillet. Remove the salmon and add about 1/4 C balsamic vinegar, 2 T maple syrup in the pan and reduce. Add about 1 T Dijon mustard, and return salmon the the skillet and coat with the glaze until done.
Cook on a Cedar plank on the grill. The delicate smoke will be perfect and presentation is outstanding. Don't go for heavy flavors on something that delish.
The Food52 site (which hosts this forum) has a wonderful recipe for Maple-Cardamom Glazed Salmon here: http://food52.com/recipes...
Here's a simple one I love from a friend who lives in Chapel Hill:
Coat a Pyrex dish with olive oil. Mix mayonnaise and coarse-grained mustard in equal measure, and top salmon filets with the mixture. Place in the Pyrex dish, add white wine to a depth of about an inch, and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 15-20 minutes (timing will depend on the thickness of the salmon, so check done-ness at the end of 15 minutes). Remove from oven before completely cooked because it will continue to cook once removed from the oven.
I like miso with salmon. Marinate the salmon in some miso, mirin and sake, then broil/bake. It's also great to quick poach them in miso soup.
Michael's Slow Baked Salmon Fillets****½
Difficulty: Easy
Yield: 2 Servings
Keywords: Salmon, Fish, Topping, Michael, Technique, Favorites, My Favorites
Attribution: Michael
Description: THIS WAS AN IMPROV. OF A BON APPETIT RECIPE. THE FISH WAS MOIST AND DELICIOUS.
1 pound Salmon Fillets W/Skin On
1 Lemon, finely grated zest of
2 Tbsp or more X-Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Dried Basil
1 pinch Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper To Taste
Wash and dry the salmon.
Finely grate the zest of one lemon and add to a small bowl...add the 2 Tbsp. olive oil and dried basil; mix to combine. Spread this mixture evenly over the top and sides of the salmon. Season the fish with garlic powder, salt & pepper. Allow seasoned fish to sit for about 15 mins. before baking.
Preheat the toaster oven to 275*F.
Place the fish on a non-oiled, foil-covered toaster tray and bake for about 25 mins., then raise the heat to 450*F and bake just until fish is cooked through, but still moist, perhaps 6-8 mins.
Slide a spatula between the flesh and the skin, leaving the skin stuck to the foil. Serve with lemon wedges.
I like dill, tarragon or chervil for herbs with salmon. Sometimes I mix the herb of choice in the food processor with some panko crumbs. And just a sheer film of Dijon to hold the herby crumbs on the fish.

Big Legal Brain offers a review of the Swingline 747 Business Stapler as it performs the tasks it is actually used for in offices all over the world.
http://biglegalbrain.com/2011/02/law-office-product-review-the-swingline-747-business-stapler/ -via Breakfast Links
For added functionality, I tried hammering a nail into the wall using the butt end of the Swingline 747. Unlike the Stanley Bostich desktop stapler we tested in the past, the Swingline held up well to the hammering. A rubber non-skid membrane on the bottom, however, took a little bit of damage from the nail. Otherwise, a few swift hits and the nail went in smoothly.
For shooting staples across the room, the Swingline really has limited utility and pales in comparison to more powerful staplers, such as the Stanley Sharpshooter Heavy Duty Staple Gun, which packs some real punch. To test the Swingline, Amy and Ninja Dog ran across the room quickly while I tried to hit them with staples shot from the stapler. I managed to hit them only 30 percent of the time, far less than the 78 percent accuracy rate we registered with the Stanley staple gun we tested last winter. But if your practice does not involve shooting staples at your colleagues or support staff, the Swingline should work just fine.

I have used the same Swingline "Cub" stapler since 1953.
The Lowering the Bar Blog has an excellent rebuttal to the Big Legal Brain post.
Pretend to talk, Kalel, or pretend to listen?
Wow, I think that was a zen moment.
Wow, I think that was a zen moment.
One big advantage to the Swingline 747 not mentioned here is that it does indeed look like a phone when you open it wide, place it to your ear and pretend to talk.

Invasive weed species (Giant Hogweed, Japanese Knotweed & Himalayan Balsam) are problematic along the entire course of the River Mulkear and indeed throughout the entire Mulkear catchement. Considerable progress has been made in recent months by Limerick County Council and by the OPW in addressing the extent of the problem with targeted programmes of control and removal. These invasives are a major concern to MulkearLIFE as they outcompete native vegetation, leading to a loss of biodiversity, they also reduce light available for primary producers (dense knotweed canopy) and destabilise riverbanks. Two of these alien species (Giant Hogweed, Himalayan Balsam) die back in the autumn period exposing soil to winter floods which causes erosion problems. This leads to subsequent siltation of fish spawning grounds.
Project Officer Glen Wightman inspects a recently treated Giant Hogweed site
On the Mulkear River the riparian vegetation is being overwhelmed and the invasive weeds continue to expand. These plants are known to outcompete native riparian native species (sedges and grasses) which would normally provide food and cover for fish and other aquatic species. Limerick County Council (LCC) began their treatment of invasive plants in the third Qtr of 2009. A new survey of the catchment was conducted in March 2010 to determine the extent of invasives. Following a planning session with LCC giant hogweed sites were selected for inclusion and significant progress was achieved from April 2010 onwards.
Vegetation surveys were completed prior to this treatment work. Work was also initiated on the Newport River section involving chemical spraying of three invasive weeds by OPW staff. Detailed maps were provided to OPW to outline infected areas. OPW started work on these infected areas in April 2010. Spot checks in May, June and July 2010 in all areas targeted have indicated excellent kill-out rates testament to the high quality work by LCC and OPW crews.

BOSTON -- Vietnam veterans who came in contact with Agent Orange are more likely to develop Graves' disease than those who avoided exposure, researchers said here.
The autoimmune disorder was three times more prevalent among veterans who encountered the dioxin-containing chemical, Ajay Varanasi, MD, of SUNY Buffalo, and colleagues reported at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists meeting here.
"We also looked at other [thyroid] diagnoses," Varanasi told MedPage Today, "but we didn't find any significant differences in thyroid cancer or nodules."
Varanasi and colleagues originally hypothesized that the latter two diagnoses may be more prevalent among vets exposed to the toxin.
Agent Orange was a defoliant sprayed from U.S. planes and helicopters during the Vietnam War to deprive Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers of cover. Veterans have long complained that exposure to the chemical caused them a variety of health problems, though few have been confirmed.
Since most Vietnam veterans have been assessed for possible Agent Orange exposure, the researchers were able to review their records and correlate that with disease.
In 2008, they assessed the prevalence of major thyroid diagnoses in the Veterans Affairs (VA) electronic medical record database beginning in 1996 for veterans born between 1925 and 1953 who were treated in a VA network in upstate New York.
They compared the frequency of diagnosis with thyroid cancer, nodules, hypothyroidism, and Graves' disease in both exposed and nonexposed populations.
A total of 23,939 vets had been classified as exposed to Agent Orange, while 200,109 were not exposed.
The researchers found that the prevalence of Graves' disease in those exposed to Agent Orange was three times that of the unexposed group (OR 3.05, 95% CI 2.17 to 4.50, P=0.001).
The relationship remained even after multivariate analyses accounted for potential confounders such as smoking (OR 2.76, 95% CI 2.22 to 3.81, P<0.001).
Interestingly, Varanasi said, prevalence of hypothyroidism was lower in those exposed to Agent Orange. Nor was there any difference in the prevalence of thyroid cancer or nodules between those exposed and those not exposed.
"There's no real mechanism as to why it should cause a high prevalence of cancer," Varanasi said.
But the literature holds a likely mechanism linking exposure to Graves' disease, he added.
"In doing a literature search, we found that the dioxin in Agent Orange might have some immune-modulating effects in human beings," he said.
This dioxin -- 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) -- binds to aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhR) very tightly, leading to prolonged activation of genomic and nongenomic metabolic disorders, the researchers said.
In mice, for example, AhR can regulate the differentiation of regulatory T cells and of T cells that produce interleukin-17. Also, AhR ligands like TCDD can modulate autoimmunity.
"The effects could be through this hydrocarbon, and this receptor is mainly expressed in T-helper-17 cells," Varanasi said. "Through this mechanism, we could have some immune modulating effects, and this could cause a higher prevalence of Graves' disease in exposed patients."
He and colleagues concluded that the relationship of Graves' disease to Agent Orange exposure warrants further investigation.
The researchers reported no diclosures.

McBride helps No. 5 Notre Dame roll past Purdue 74-47
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Kayla McBride scored 18 points, Natalie Achonwa had 15 points and 17 rebounds, and Skylar Diggins shook off early foul trouble to finish with 16 points Saturday to help No. 5 Notre Dame rout Purdue 74-47.
Courtney Moses led the Boilermakers (11-2) with 13 points and Taylor Manuel added 12.
Diggins also had her 300th career steal 5:37 into the second half when she poked the ball away from Courtney Moses and drove in for a layup, which pushed Notre Dame's lead to 23. The senior guard is the third player in Notre Dame history with at least 300 career steals.
Purdue was one of the country's best 3-point shooting teams coming into the game, but went 0-for-11 from behind the arc. The Boilermakers were also outrebounded 56-28 as the Irish led by as much as 30 points in the second half.

Microsoft Research today posted the above video which shows how Kinect's sign language translation capabilities help the hearing and the deaf communicate. You can communicate between American sign language and Chinese sign language or potentially any sign languages to any other natural languages. Kinect detects the sign language and converts into natural spoken language. There is a avatar in the system to represent the hearing person doing the signing. It's a proxy for the hearing person. It basically uses machine language and pattern recognition to achieve this results.
This project has a huge potential. Watch the video above.
