Tekkit Tinkers Construct "No Such Item" Is there a fix?

So I recently installed some new mods onto Tekkit, such as tinkers construct and the gravity gun mod, and none of them are working. When i try to take them out of NEI it always repeats the same error. "No such item." i was wondering if there was a fix for this issue, as its really getting on my nerves. Thanks! Here is the log in case you wanted it.

Age Range: 18+
Elite Account?: Makes it easier, but not required
Highest Lineage Dragon: Appropriate for your level.

Drag0nMyAss (the 0 is a zero) is a fun atlas oriented family looking for new team members to replace slackers and alt’s as we grow.

Ideally we are looking for players 100+ (although exceptions might be made for the right person!). Would be awesome if you’re familiar with atlas, although we are happy to teach if you aren’t!

Could also accommodate a small merge with the right group with an officer position available.

Events, quests and atlas are mandatory.

We are Plat 4 with 4 castles (each a different element).

We rebuilt this team to P3 from Gold 2 with 20 members who were mostly low active alts and one castle in Dec. Going thru another rebuild period.

Get about 990 egg tokens daily atm (league and atlas).

The rebuild is definitely still in progress and it is a process but we’ve got a dedicated and determined core group and experienced leadership. Really hope to go far while maintaining a fun family like atmosphere.

Aesthetics, Asymmetry and Weakness: Nietzsche and the Beautiful

comment 1
aesthetics / art / beauty / becoming / chaos / human / will

Improvisation (Kandinsky)

“I owe to you the most beautiful dream of my life.”
– Nietzsche, [from a letter to Lou Salome]

I cannot help but admire Nietzsche when he writes in Twilight of the Idols that there is nothing beautiful but man. For Nietzsche, vanity is ‘the first truth of aesthetics.’ He even supplies a corollary: ugliness is precisely the ‘degeneration of the human.’ Here Nietzsche method allows us to see possibility for new forms of humanity, but he skirts dangerously close to anthropomorphisizing the entire universe as isomorphic to our social spectacle. Is beauty a vain preoccupation — or an elevation of the human to the cosmic? What is left of beauty, human or otherwise — outside of what we customarily associate with it?

What else, then, is beauty, besides an inborn addiction to custom, which finally becomes natural grace? He is certainly right that beauty, after all, is reckoned by an imaginary yardstick! Whereas, on the contrary, ugliness accompanies — and even establishes — the moral or customary exercise of power. Nietzsche precedes Artaud here in demonstrating every action is (a) cruelty. Thus if our power cannot express itself through action, it turns inward: “All instincts that do not discharge themselves outwardly turn inward… thus it was that man first developed what was later called his ‘soul” (Genealogy of Morals)

Yet as we become part of the human story, we become increasingly beautiful. And only if we give ourselves up completely to custom, from our heart out and from the earliest years of our life, can we ever hope to grow beautiful — by losing our instincts for self-preservation. Our power for violent self-assertion assuredly degenerates from non-use, just as our ability to defend ourselves slackens when we commit ourselves to symbolic rituals and social custom. And it is certain that over time we tend to make ourselves into these kinds of totalized subjects given over entirely to social processes, to a given sequence of cultural practices.

Thus we grow in beauty (or equivalently: vanity) when we do not pass through the tiresome struggle for power and surivival, processes which inevitably leave marks upon our bodies, rip our youth from us, criss-cross our human beauty with lines of resistance, deposit genealogical traces of vital affirmations. Intense engagements never fail to leave their mark; sometimes they can even become the truth of our entire existence.

So what is the beauty of a dream, of a woman? Is it truly a form of degeneration — an abstinence from the exercise of power, from the cruelty of activity? Or is it a much more cunning malice still? Supposing woman is the truth — is her beauty degenerate, or is the degeneration of (“humanity’s”) truth itself beautiful? There is a non-dialectical evolution of beauty from weakness, as of society from custom or of truth from error. The degeneration of survival instincts is at once a becoming-beautiful: “This is why the old baboon is uglier than the young one, and why the young female baboon most closely resembles man: is the most beautiful baboon, that is to say.”

The conflict between ugliness and beauty is no contradiction, but a steady evolution of characteristic forms of cultural becomings. The structure of culture works itself into the symmetry of faces; we now recognize symmetry as the fact of entropy, of decline — pure symmetry is a degeneration (of the human) into a total chaos. The pure beauty of total symmetry, of total chaos, is opposed from the beginning of time to organization, biological and otherwise. All organs struggle to survive within and upon the bodies they parasite. The will to power is a metaphor, and it is not.

    429 The new passion pg. 428

    “Why do we fear and hate a possible reversion to barbarism? Because it would make people unhappier than they are? Oh no! The barbarians of every age were happier; let us not deceive ourselves! The reason is that our drive to knowledge has become too strong for us to be able to want happiness without knowledge or the happiness of a strong, firmly rooted delusion.”
    In this section, Nietzsche further ventures into the quest for knowledge after the death of God, regarding both the positive and negative repercussions following that overcoming. The earlier times of civilization, those of genuine metaphysical conviction (the time of barbarism), were ‘happier’ because the drive to knowledge had not yet appeared, in fact there was not yet the need for it, metaphysics was entirely adequate. However, with the coming of the Enlightenment and scientific revolution, mankind has to carry the burden of our newly acquired knowledge; it is by our very nature that we cannot stop this from occurring. Once the metaphysical ‘sheet’ has been lifted and man discovers what has been hidden, by the nature of his constitution he can no longer return to that previous state of darkness.
    “Restless discovering and divining has such an attraction for us, and has grown as indispensable to us as is to the lover his unrequited love, which he would at no price relinquish for a state of indifference—perhaps we too are unrequited lovers!”
    The analogy here comparing our drive to knowledge with that of a lover is telling insofar as the drive to knowledge shares a fiery, unrestrained essence in relation to that desire which is employed in order attain their respective ‘others’ (absolute knowledge or the object of sexual desire) . Mankind, in the quest for knowledge, ultimately fairs the same as the jilted lover. Because, like the offering of unrequited love, the pursuit of knowledge remains unfulfilled, unsatisfied in its ability achieve continuity with the object of desire: for Don Quixote it is Dulcinea that remains illusive; for the philosopher, it is absolute knowledge that remains tauntingly out of grasp.
    “we believe in all honesty that all mankind must believe itself more exalted and comforted under the compulsion and suffering of this passion than it did formerly, when envy of the coarser contentment that follows in the rain of barbarism had not yet seen overcome.”
    The ‘suffering’ caused by this passion is not unlike the suffering incurred by any other of the drives. Nietzsche posits that any individual drive that fully involves itself (interpreted by us later as “passion”) ultimately leads to suffering; such is the ultimate and unavoidable plight of Man. Here he reminds us that since suffering is fundamentally intrinsic in life, then it is a matter of degrees and essences that ones perceived ‘suffering’ can overcome itself by evolving, by adapting and improving itself in response to the conditions of our existence. Knowledge presents itself beyond ignorance, in an exalted state where its necessity is implied and the desire we have for it is compulsive. Just as the Christian ultimately derives pain from his inability to raise himself to the level of God, modern man is equally oppressed by his inability for complete universal comprehension. However, the burdensome power in knowledge overcomes the self-limiting forces of ignorance, despite the fact that both lead to angst.
    “Yes we hate barbarism—we would all prefer the destruction of mankind to the regression of knowledge! And finally: if mankind does not perish of a passion it will perish as a weakness: which do you prefer?”
    In a pessimistic conclusion Nietzsche affirms our powerlessness under this striving for knowledge. The scope of his nihilism here is acutely portrayed. Even if life is meaningless, it is the striving for understanding this meaninglessness that can paradoxically give us the best chance at achieving meaning. In other words: it is better to perish as a result of our freedom of pursuit than to perish as bystander: weak in the face of the world. It is our drives and passions that strengthen man and allow him to end in “fire and light” instead of in the “sand”.

Why My Dating Life Has Gone to the Dogs

June 12, 2015

Lately, people have been telling me I should quit trying so hard to find a girlfriend. “When you stop looking, that’s when you’ll find her,” they say. I’m not sure if I believe them, but I’ve made a move that could seriously curtail my dating life: I got a dog.

Granted, I’ve been thinking about it for years, and the reason why I haven’t done it is because I’m not home much during the week. I’ve got an office job at a magazine every weekday, and I often go out in the city after work. On dates. Bad dates. Bad Internet dates. That wouldn’t be so easy if I had to head home to the suburbs every night and walk the dog—and no, that’s not a euphemism.

I’m also nervous because I’ve never had a dog. I grew up in a non-pet house. Everyone was allergic to something, and I seemed to be allergic to everything. But I’ve always loved dogs, and since I got divorced ten years ago, I’ve had long-term relationships with a couple of women who had amazing dogs and had no problem spending significant periods of time around them. Around the dogs, that is.

In the meantime, my ex-wife adopted a dog, much to the delight of our two children. Frosty was an older poodle, and his name accurately reflected his attitude towards me. I wasn’t crazy about him, either, especially after he nipped me.

Frosty had a tendency to run away, and I was less than thrilled about having to comfort my inconsolable offspring every time he went on a walkabout. That task was even harder when he died after only a few years. I was experiencing the worst parts of having a pet without enjoying any of the best parts.

After a reasonable mourning period, my ex got a new dog: a young black-and-white mutt named Tux. It was love at first sight between us. She’s the sweetest, most affectionate creature I’ve ever known. But she’s not mine.

Still, I managed to finagle a good deal of time with her. When my ex went away for weekends without the kids, Tux often along with them to my house for extended sleepovers. She usually ended up in my room. And I couldn’t have been happier.

We talked about working out a shared custody agreement, but that didn’t come to pass. (Exes unable to agree on a compromise? Shocking, I know.) So I sought out time with other friends who have pets. I’ve taken walks in the park with an ex-girlfriend and her adorable black pooch Rex. And I spent a week dog-sitting my neighbors’ wonderful beagle, K.C.

My 13-year-old daughter Olive kept telling me, “Just get a dog, Pop!” every time I comment on a cute pup we come across in our neighborhood. We visited a shelter, but we didn’t bond with any of the four-legged residents there and went home empty-handed.

A few months ago, I saw a post on Facebook that a beagle had been found near my house. She was being kept at my local hair salon, and they were looking for someone to adopt her. It felt like canine kismet, but I hesitated and soon heard the woman who cuts my hair had taken her in. Oh well, I thought, at least she got a good home.

Then a few weeks ago, my hairstylist told me she was moving abroad and needed to find a new home for the dog, whom she’d named Clementine. Determined not to miss out on my chance again, I told her I’d be interested in adopting her.

We set up a playdate, and my kids and the dog immediately fell in love with one another. But before we could finalize the deal, Clementine found another owner, someone who works from home and has another dog to keep her company. My kids and I were crushed.

Until a few weeks ago, I got a text from my stylist that Clementine wasn’t happy in her new home. Would I still be open to adopting her? It was doggie destiny! She’s been living with us for a week now, and the bad Internet dates can wait. All I want to do is revel in the unconditional love of my darling: Clementine.

So Soon It Ends

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night….Anon

It is impossible not to feel depressed at times when watching all that is going on globally ~ and then the mounting frustrations in the States. Sigh… on towards a good autumn, what do ya say 😎

Indeed, cannot happen soon enough 🇺🇸. Our international reputation is in tatters, a total lack of leadership or empathy for the world. Just finished a great book about James Garfield ~ and wow, he is the type of man we need in office. Take care ~

I'd love to hear from you

Cantonment and City

The ‘other’ Bangalore

Print edition : August 09, 2013

Paul Fernandes. His gallery has a quaint collection of artwork harking back to an idyllic Bangalore. Photo: G.P.Sampath Kumar

Paul Fernandes’ cartoons capture the delightful transitional era of post-Independence Bangalore Cantonment, revelling in the afterglow of the British Empire for decades.

FOR a significant part of its history, Bangalore was a divided city. The cultural divisions between the British-established Cantonment and the old town of Bangalore (commonly known as “City”) were deep, and remnants of that rift linger on in contemporary Bangalore. Younger residents of the city and newer migrants —who pour in daily from all over the country —find it strange when they hear that current-day Bangalore was the uneasy conjunction of two separate conurbations that officially merged only in 1949. For older residents though, the divide between the two parts of the city was the most visible way they conceptualised Bangalore.

That is perhaps one of the reasons why Paul Fernandes’ cartoons of the daily life of Bangalore Cantonment in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s are such a hit. Nostalgia and wonder are the two emotions that dominate visitors’ minds when they view the quaint collection of artwork harking back to an idyllic Bangalore in Fernandes’ small gallery, aPaulogy. Through his work, he has archived certain events in the time and space of Bangalore Cantonment, thereby providing a rich and useful way of understanding urban history.

In his book The Country and the City, the Marxist cultural critic Raymond Williams argues that “nostalgia” is a mythical response to the urban experience. In this, he is also referring to the inherent modernity of the concept of nostalgia.

Nostalgia can exist only when there is a linear conception of time, and modernity, with its notion of progress, is deeply intertwined with the concept of nostalgia. Thus, nostalgia works at several levels, and as humans think that the condition of their lives is improving as they head into the future a part of their mind also harks back to a supposedly simpler time when life was more peaceful. And Fernandes’ work satiates that hunger for nostalgia an old Bangalorean would have.

At the same time, his work provokes wonder among teenagers and people in their twenties who marvel at the fun lives that their parents’ and grandparents’ generations led.

Hoary history

Historians have established that parts of Bangalore were inhabited since the time of the Western Ganga dynasty (A.D. 350 to A.D. 550) and played a role in the fortunes of the Chola, Hoysala and Vijayanagar empires as the place was situated in a strategic location in the middle of the south Indian peninsula. In spite of this hoary history, the founding date of the city is usually given as A.D. 1537 when Kempe Gowda I built a mud fort which was fortified later by Haider Ali in the 18th century. This fort was the nucleus of what is now commonly known as the “pete” area, a Bangalore that preceded the arrival of the British.

With the defeat of Tipu Sultan in the Fourth Anglo Mysore War (1798-99) in Srirangapatnam, the British army garrisoned itself in the vicinity of the old city area of Bangalore, thus laying the foundation of Bangalore Cantonment in the early 19th century. This was the beginning of a very different Bangalore from the one that existed around the old fort. For all purposes, it was a different city entirely “ the cantonment was the antithesis of the native quarter of the town” (according to Pramod K. Nayar in his work Colonial Voices: The Discourses of Empire).

Through the 19th century, Cantonment gradually expanded and acquired a distinct cultural and political salience as it was governed directly by the British and was known as the Civil and Military Station of Bangalore. While it remained in the princely territory of Mysore, it was a little enclave of British India, proud of its unique identity. It continued to attract Britons from across India as it was well known even then for its pleasant climate.

According to the work of M. Fazlul Hasan, an early chronicler of Bangalore and author of Bangalore Through the Centuries, Bangalore Cantonment extended for 13.5 square miles (1 mile = 1.6 km) and had a population of 1,00,081 in 1891 as opposed to the old city area, which had a population of 80,285. The two parts of the city were separated by a broad swathe of grassland (Cubbon Park) and had a system of toll gates spread across the divide that needed to be passed if one wanted to go to the “other” Bangalore.

According to Janaki Nair (author of The Promise of the Metropolis: Bangalore’s Twentieth Century), the demographic profile of the two cities also varied sharply. Cantonment had a large military presence and a cosmopolitan civilian population that came from outside the princely state of Mysore. This included Britons, Anglo-Indians, migrant Tamil labourers and contractors, Urdu-speaking Muslim merchants, Telugu traders, Marathi tailors, north Indian bankers and so on. Kannada was rarely heard in Cantonment. City, on the other hand, had a largely Kannada-speaking population with a few Tamil Brahmin residents. The overwhelming influence of the British also bequeathed a particular libertarian cultural character to Cantonment that the conservative residents of City loathed and longed for at the same time. There were social clubs and cinemas which played the latest English films. There were spacious bungalows, bars where spirits were served, and balls where men and women danced the night away. Hunts, in the tradition of fox hunting, were organised.

A.N. Murthy Rao, a well-known Kannada writer who passed away in 2000, had this to say about Bangalore Cantonment: “The relation between City and Cantonment was strange. It was neither one of friendship nor one of enmity. The English were not very interested in matters relating to the City.... We must admit that they kept their areas clean and beautiful. Broad streets lined with trees, large compounds of the military and civil officers, colourful gardens around each home, English women pushing children in prams: we must admit that in addition to the strange appearance of a foreign environment, Cantonment was also beautiful... [but] Even the most ordinary Englishman had the superior air of the British Empire” (as quoted in Janaki Nair’s book).

Paul Byron Norris, a Briton whose early years were spent in Bangalore, writes about the Cantonment of the 1920s and 1930s in his book Follow My Bangalorey Man: “There was a unique quality of life in the Cantonment which was a subtle mixture of British and Indian ingredients with the former dominant and setting the tone. The amalgam was more complex than this suggests, for the preponderating British influence was never quite that of a contemporary life in England but was lived at one remove, more conservative, more tenacious in its retention of older attitudes which has become somewhat anachronistic in the Mother Country.”

Efforts to bring these two disparate towns under a single urban administration were strongly resisted in the 1930s by leading Indian members of Cantonment. But with the departure of the British in 1947, it was only a matter of time before the two were brought together in an uncomfortable union in 1949. The two coexisted under a common administration, but the gulf remained wide for several decades, with Cantonment continuing to revel in the afterglow of the British Empire.

Gradual changes in the demographic profile affected the character of Cantonment. The Anglo-Indians left in large numbers for countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. The 1990s hastened the bridging of the divide as the spurt in the information technology sector led to a concomitant real estate boom. Bangalore expanded while the divide between Cantonment and City shrank.

Transitional era

Fernandes’ cartoons capture this transitional era of Cantonment —when it was no longer under the tutelage of the British and, at the same time, it had not really embraced City. To understand life during this interesting phase in the growth of a city, we need to turn to the account of Peter Colaco, a long-time resident of Cantonment who died in 2011. He compiled many of his writings on Bangalore into a book titled Bangalore: A Century of Tales from City & Cantonment. Many of Fernandes’ caricatures were initially accompaniments to Colaco’s memorable writings on Bangalore.

In one of Colaco’s enjoyable essays, he writes about the cultural gulf between Cantonment and City: “The Bangalore of 1958 was already a complex and cosmopolitan city, with clearly defined ethnic areas. Broadly defined, these were the Cantonment, also called Cantrement, and ‘City’. Within each region there were further sub-zones. But City referred to the orthodox Hindu area, what was once Maharajah’s Bangalore. Cantonment was the hold-out of regimental British Bangalore, English-speaking, meat-eating and (supposedly) delightfully wicked. The cultural divide from Fraser Town to Basavanagudi or Jayanagar was greater than to London or New York.”

Fernandes’ mirthful artwork captures this delightful transitional era of post-Independence Cantonment in a light-hearted manner. He is clearly inspired by the work of the Goan cartoonist Mario Miranda and he does not shy away from acknowledging this. Girish Karnad, the well-known Kannada litterateur who recently viewed Fernandes’ work, said: “While his work shows that his immediate predecessor is Mario Miranda and he has captured Bangalore Cantonment in the same way that Miranda captured Goa, I would trace his style to that of early British caricaturists like Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827).”

When Fernandes decided to display his expanding collection of around 60 watercolours on Bangalore Cantonment in a gallery a few months back, he was sceptical about how it would be received, but the popularity with which his work has been received has surprised even him. With the rapidly changing cityscape of Bangalore, it is clear that Bangaloreans are fascinated by the way Fernandes’ pictures transport them to another era.

One of his popular pieces is the pictorial rendition of the consternation that a 30-foot cut-out of a bikini-clad temptress caused when it was displayed outside the BRV Theatre on Cubbon Road in the 1960s. The theatre is now an Army canteen, and one can only imagine the melee preceding the screening of Tokyo by Night, the film that the salacious poster had advertised.

It is memories like this that make people smile when they step into Paul Fernandes’ “Gallery of Curious Memories”. The talented artist, an old resident of Bangalore Cantonment, is currently compiling his illustrations into a coffee-table book.

Binary Options no Deposit Bonus

As any seasoned Binary Options trader may know, Binary Option Bonuses have been offered for a number of years as a way to get the trader wedded to the broker.

However, as traders have wised up to this tactic, they have started to inquire about the prospect of taking advantage of a broker’s offer for a no deposit bonus.

This allows the trader to trade with truly free money at the broker on a live account and get the best sense of how the broker operates the business.

Of course, understanding how no deposit binary option bonuses work is crucial to making the most of the agreement.

What is a no Deposit Bonus?

The no deposit bonus is as the name may describe. It is a bonus that is provided by the broker with no deposit being required by the trader.

These are also on a live account which makes them differ from the demo accounts. In the demo account, any money that is made is demo money and the trader can not withdraw.

In the live account, profits made on the no deposit bonus can be paid out to the trader provided certain conditions are met such as an amount of trading volume or trades within a certain time period.

A binary options no deposit bonus may also come in another type or form and does not necessarily have to have that name. For example, risk free trades (which are similar to free bets) may also be offered by the broker and have similar qualities. Unlike traditional risk free trades, they come without requiring a funds to be invested.

No Deposit vs. Traditional Bonus

Although a novel idea originally introduced as a way for the broker to compete with other brokers and attract clients, the Binary Options deposit bonus has morphed into an unfortunate contractual tie up.

There are endless examples of clients who may have elected to take a trading bonus without knowing the requirements involved in actually being able to withdraw these funds.

What traders used to think was free money actually came with very stringent turnover requirements that the trader was unaware of. In some cases, this turnover requirement also tied up the initial deposit which meant that the trader was unable to even withdraw this.

This may have been something that experienced traders would have understood but it was not the case for those traders who were new to the game. Due to the number of newbie traders who were caught up by the bonuses, the regulators decided to take note.

CySec, the regulator that is in charge of brokers which operate in Europe decided to outlaw deposit bonuses and hence protect the trader from himself and the unscrupulous broker.

Beneftis of a Binary Option no Deposit Bonus

No Deposit Bonus Benefits

Obviously, one of the most important benefits of a no deposit bonus is that the trader does not have to invest any funds in order to take advantage of it. This means that there will indeed be no risk involved in taking the offer by the broker as a new client.

It gives the trader a certain piece of mind in accepting the bonus knowing that they do not really have to parse long winded legal text to spot the small print attached to the bonus.

Indeed, binary option no deposit bonuses tend to be quite small in comparison to the traditional type, this should not deter the trader to make full use of the following advantages:

  • Transition. This is what is usually quite helpful from the perspective of the new trader who has been making use of a demo account. It is an easy move for the trader who wants to take the step from trading with demo money to trading with free real money. Even though the trader has not actually invested any money yet, it could take some time getting used to the feel of the live account before they are ready for this commitment. Apart any visual differences that there may be between the two account types, the live account usually has a certain psychological feeling that the trader may need to get used to.
  • No High Turnover. Unlike traditional broker bonuses that require large and often unrealistic turnover numbers (between 20 and 30 times) the no deposit bonus is comes with much lower turnover requirements and does not unrealistically set the traders’ expectations on what is actually achievable. This means that the trader actually sees a chance of possible withdrawal of their bonus as well as any profits.
  • Bonus Size. Yes, no deposit bonuses are not a large sum of money but that is not a bad thing. It allows the trader to trade more realistic option sizes and employ some of the strategies that he / she will indeed use when they have fully invested. It forces the trader to think in the terms of risk management for small amounts by keeping the bands of upper and lower limits generally quite tight.
  • Live Platform Testing. It is no secret that one of the binary option scams that has been used by brokers is when they manipulate the platform to offer high in the money rates when the trader is using the demo account. However, when they switch over to the live account the ITM rate drops quite substantially. This is the broker taking advantage of platform risk settings to the detriment of the client. This is where the no deposit binary option bonus comes in. It allows the trader to observe what risk levels they were getting when using a live account as compared to a demo without risking any deposit funds. Once the trader is comfortable with the levels on the live account they could consider investing their first funds.

In general though, the no deposit binary option bonus could be a good way for the trader to get a feel for how the broker operates and how responsive they will likely be to any client who has progressed onto the stage of a live account.

Terms and Conditions

No Deposit Bonus T&C's

Although binary option no deposit bonuses are generally way less stringent than traditional deposit bonuses, they still do come with some terms and conditions. This is not entirely unreasonable.

As one may expect, there are also a large number of traders who would love the opportunity to request a no deposit bonus and then immediately hit withdraw and make off with the bonus for nothing.

The incentive for the broker to offer a no deposit binary options bonus is to allow the trader to get a better sense of the platform and trade freely on a live account in a non-threatening way.

It is for this reason that brokers have requirements for the trader to meet before they can actually withdraw the bonus or profits on it.

Turnover requirements are based on total volume of trades winning or losing. So for example, if the broker has a 10x turnover requirement then you will need to trade 10x of the no deposit bonus.

If you got a $100 binary option no deposit bonus this would mean that you would need to place at least 10 trades of $100 in order to meet the conditions. This could also be 100 trades of $10 as well.

This could work out well if most of those 10 trades were in the money. The trader would then be able to withdraw the profit from the account as well as the bonus itself.

Meeting Turnover Requirements

When you have to meet turnover requirements to realise your no deposit binary options bonus then choosing the trades that you place as well as the amount that you would like to place on these trades is crucial.

This all depends on the broker that you are using as they have minimum trade sizes. This determines the amount of trades that you can realistically put on before you deplete your no deposit bonus.

When it comes to general risk management, responsible trade sizes will range from about 1-5% of the capital available in the account. This means that if the minimum trade size is more than 5% larger than the no deposit bonus then it could be risky parameters that you are working with.

Indeed, your trade size does not have to be a fixed number and you can adjust it according to how much capital you already have in the account. A good strategy to start could be to use about 1-2% of the capital size and allow this to compound.

This compounding effect will also increase the account size and hence will allow you to gradually increase the amount that you stake on each trade. This will all work in a linear and gradual fashion.

If the minimum trade size is more than 5% then you have to use a binary options strategy that you are certain can increase your chances of getting high in the money rates.

No Deposit Scams

When it comes to no deposits, you should also try and avoid any scams associated with the bonus. Only use legitimate and regulated brokers before you start an account. FXaxe has a list of trusted brokers that have been reviewed.

On some occasions, no deposit bonuses have been used as an excuse for the trader to hand over money in order to get the winnings freed up by the broker.

At no point should you ever have to pay the broker in order to release a no deposit bonus. Read the terms and conditions and make certain that the bonus does not come with these sorts of strings attached.

School news 17th October 2014

The ‘new school building’ was opened twenty years ago on Tuesday 30th September 1994. While few in the school now knew the old building with it collection of huts, leaking roofs and poor facilities, those who did are still proud of the building we are fortunate to work in today.

The Mod – Several pupils did very well at the local Mod in Poolewe recently. Head Boy Innis Taylor was presented at school assembly with his trophy for achieving the Highest Overall Marks in the Fluent Oral competitions. Well done to Innis and the rest of the participants.

We are aware that a number of pupils are competing in the National Mod (Inverness) this year. This is the largest group of pupils participating from Gairloch High in a good many years. We hope to be able to report of their success in a future issue.

Scottish Chamber Orchestra Masterworks 2014 – S3-S5 Music pupils recently had a unique opportunity to take part in a project with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.  Paul Rissman, a Scottish composer and educator, chose to work with our pupils on a piece by the Swedish composer Karin Rehnqvist called “Arktis, Arktis!”  This piece was inspired by the composer’s participation in an Arctic expedition, and her music describes breaking through the ice and also the bleakness & beauty of the landscape.  The orchestra provided us with teaching materials, as well as a workshop for all the Highland Music teachers taking part, and a visit to the school by 2 members of the orchestra – a double bass player and a trumpeter.  Everything culminated in a visit, on October 2nd, to Eden Court Theatre to see the orchestra perform the piece.  Paul Rissman talked us through the important features of the music, and then the whole piece was performed in the second half.  Karin Rehnqvist came all the way from Sweden for this event, and she contributed to the discussions about her music.  Miss Hunter met and talked with the composer at the interval, and she was extremely positive about Scotland, and was very interested in our Comenius project; pupils and staff travel to Finland in December, and will visit the Arctic Circle as part of the programme.

Events such as this are invaluable in supplementing the pupils’ musical lives.  Our grateful thanks go to the SCO’s Connect Team, who gave us this fantastic opportunity.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Award – Deborah Connop (S5) was awarded with her Silver certificate and badge at assembly recently. Well-done Deborah!

Ross-shire School Seashore Art and Poetry Competition – Nadia Fenton (S1) was awarded with 1st Prize in a competition that took place before the summer. Nadia entered the competition when she was still at Shieldaig Primary.   Congratulations to Nadia who was presented with her certificate along with a gift voucher at school assembly.

Several other pupils from Poolewe and Shieldaig Primaries won prizes or were highly commended in the competition.

S4 Work Experience – In the week beginning 6th October all of our S4 pupils were out on Work Experience. Some of the pupils work locally with builders, shops, primary schools and nursery, local estates… but several head off to the cities across Scotland and may even venture across the border. We are very grateful for the support of every employer who helps us give the pupils this valuable opportunity. In school we thank Mrs Flora MacKenzie and Mr Milner. Without their hard work this week would not happen.

Jeans for Genes – On Friday 3rd October the pupils paid money to wear their jeans. Jeans for Genes is a charity that aims to improve the lives of children with genetic disorders, care for their families and invest in research. Pupils (and staff) had the opportunity to wear their jeans to school in return for a contribution towards this worthwhile cause. A total of £184.96 was raised.

Blythswood Shoebox Appeal – Please support the pupils and help them fill shoe boxes for Blythswood. Pupils have been issued with leaflets and shoe boxes should be brought to school in the week we return to school.

Golf Competition – On Wednesday 24th September thirty-two pupils from across all year groups took part in an inter-house golf competition. The event was organised by Ian Graham at Gairloch Golf Club and the schools Active Schools Coordinator, Martin Godwin. With the sun shining and two in-service days to follow directly after the afternoon of golf, all the pupils enjoyed a competitive but fun and friendly afternoon. It was great to see pupils who have never played golf before taking part and embracing the event, as well as seeing the more accomplished golfers playing some difficult strokes. In the end Tollaidh House was the winner of the event earning 15 house points, Kerry was awarded 10 points and Maree 5 points. The individual winner on the day was Joe Smith who scored an impressive 31 strokes around 9 holes and takes the individual trophy for the third year running! Well done to Joe and everyone who took part in this event. Our thanks go to Martin Godwin, Active Schools Coordinator, and members of the Golf Club (particularly Ian Graham) for helping arrange this tournament.

Golf Competition

Important Dates – Here are a few upcoming events. Please contact the school if you are in any doubt. More dates are also available here on the school website.

27th October – INSET day – staff only.

28th October – Pupils return to school.

31st October – Halloween Dress Day and evening Party.

Parent Council AGMNext meeting of the Parent Council is on Tuesday 18th November 2014 at 7.30pm. All parents and carers are welcome to attend. The meeting will take place immediately after the AGM at 7.30pm in the school.  There will be cheese and wine on the night. You can contact members of the Parent Council via email:

Kindness Certificate – Mr Hulme has been promoting kindness in the school recently. Daily quotes have been read out at registration for staff and teachers to contemplate at the start of each school day. Mr Hulme reports that this is just the beginning! As a result of our interest in promoting kindness the school has been presented with a certificate by Kindness UK.  Kindness Day in the UK is November the 13th this year!

School news 3rd October 2014

Comenius Trip to Turkey – On Saturday 22nd September our fifth Comenius visit of the current project began. Miss Hunter, accompanied by Mr & Mrs Port, set off with 5 pupils to visit a school in Turkey. Calum Nelson, Callum MacKenzie, Matthew MacLean, Gregor Vickerstaff and Cameron Tallach met up with the Turkish pupils that they have been in communication with during the project. A group of staff and teachers from eight countries met enjoying a range of cultural activities culminating in a final ceremony of music, dance and food.

Comenius Turkey

The school that we visited is in the town of Akyazi in district of Sakarya around 160km east of Istanbul. We arrived on the Sunday and crossed into Asia via the enormous Bospherus Bridge. Later in the week we had a tour of the shoreline under the bridge, exploring both the coast of Asia and Europe.

An extraordinary amount of work goes into arranging each of these trips and the boys made their thanks known to Miss Hunter on their return to Gairloch. Her efforts were much appreciated and the boys had the trip of a lifetime experiencing living with Turkish families and making friends from each of 7 other countries. They went shopping in the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul. The boys also visited Hagia Sophia, one of the most iconic and longest lasting structures in Europe, managing in its time to represent both Christianity as a church and Islam as a mosque. We also visited a museum commemorating an earthquake in 1999 that affected the region around the school killing thousands of people.

The boys experienced various traditional Turkish dishes during the week. In the historical town of Beypazari they visited a silver bazaar along the Silk Road between Istanbul and Baghdad and were entertained by an effusive tour guide who didn’t speak a word of English! Later in the year we plan to hold an evening presentation for the community to share our experiences of Comenius. Watch out for your invitation!

The group would also like to make known our thanks to Mr Andrew Bowker and Mrs Ann Fraser for helping with transport to and from Inverness train station. Another group of pupils will head off to Finland in December followed by a different group to Spain in February. The last event of the project will see representatives from each of the schools in Greece, Spain, Latvia, Finland, Poland, Portugal and Turkey arriving in Gairloch next April. So expect a ceilidh at the very least!

Slattadale Restoration Fundraising – A very great thank you to everyone who has responded to our appeal for funds so far. Recently Mr Milner has been encouraging you to donate online. The page on totalled £1250 by the deadline. We also received donations to the school not recorded on the website. We are constantly surprised and gratified by the support that we receive from the community. It is much appreciated and encourages us to develop extra projects that we believe will help the pupils.

Concussion as a result of sports injury – Concussion is a brain injury caused by direct or indirect force to the head. It results in a variety of non-specific signs and/or symptoms and most often does not involve loss of consciousness. Most people recover in a few days but recovery can take longer for children and young people. You can find information on the school website here made available by the Scottish Government and fully supported by the official football and rugby organisations. The message with regard to children is be aware and if in doubt get the children to sit out of the game. Always seek medical advice if you are uncertain.

Blythswood Shoe Box Appeal – Over 1.7 Million boxes have been donated and distributed through the years and this is the 21st anniversary of the Appeal. Gairloch High School pupils and parents continue to support this annual event.

It’s very easy to put some basic items together. Things we take for granted can often be luxuries for people living in desperate poverty.  Boxes will go to Albania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Kosovo, Moldova, Pakistan, Romania and Serbia this year.

For Christmas delivery your shoebox should be at the school by the end of October. Leaflets have been distributed to pupils already. You can get more details of what to do on the Internet – just click here for Blythswood Shoebox Appeal 2014. By filling a shoebox you can share the true meaning of Christmas.

This is just one of the projects S6 prefects are tasked with supporting. They organise a range of fundraising charity events throughout the year involving all pupils.

Important Dates – Here are a few upcoming events. Please contact the school if you are in any doubt. Dates are also available on the school website.

9th September – S3 Monitoring reports were issued to parents.

3rd October – S4 Monitoring reports issued to parents. Pupils involved in Local Mod in Poolewe. Jeans for Genes Day in school.

6th October – S4 pupils on Work Experience for 5 days.

10th October – School Closes for 2 weeks break.

27th October – INSET day – staff only.

28th October – Pupils return to school.

31st October – Halloween Dress Day and evening Party.

Halloween Bash planned

They're back once again! Defend the helpless humanoids in Defender. Save the last family on Earth from the robots in Robotron: 2084. Stop the evil being, Sinistar, from taunting and trying to eat you for lunch in Sinistar. Get the upper hand'or ostrich as the case may be, and dismount your opponents in Joust. Presenting four Williams/Midway arcade classics for your Game Boy Advance playing pleasure in Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits.

Gameplay, Controls, Interface

Since all four of these games are ports of coin operated arcade games, you would hope they would look, sound, and play just like the originals. Well, two out of three isn't bad, I guess. Although graphics were important, the control and gameplay run a close second and in a couple of cases, this pulled up short.

Of the four games, the control and gameplay in Joust is the most accurate, but the game also had the most anomalies of the four. The control in the arcade was always a little difficult, but that was part of the charm. That control is replicated here fairly well although the general physics of the game are off a bit as compared to the arcade version. Unfortunately I ran into a couple of buggy-looking problems with it. The first is that sometimes the enemies get tangled up with each other and can't move unless they're bumped. The second is that the lava monster's hand can grab you while you're still standing on the platform next to the lava and even if you break free, sometimes the hand continues rising up the screen. The third is that you can run just off the platforms and you'll stand in mid air. And the last, and most severe, was that the game actually locked up on me and I had to reset the Game Boy. I realize that the first three of these are pretty nit picky, but as a geeky purist it had to be mentioned. Still, the game is very playable and a lot of fun and plays much like the arcade version.

Defender is still as hard as always. Instead of most of the difficulty coming from mastering five different buttons and a vertical only joystick as it did in the arcade, it now comes in the form of some of the enemies moving and shooting way faster than they do in the arcade. If you hear the sound of a humanoid being abducted, you can pretty much say goodbye to them unless you just happen to be next to them when it happens. It also seems that you can't fire quite as fast as the arcade version, which makes hitting some of the smaller enemies very difficult. The control otherwise feels like it should compared to the coin-op version and Defender fans will probably enjoy the port.

Next up is Robotron: 2084, another very fast-paced game. Porting Robotron has always been a difficult endeavor because of the dual arcade joysticks. Midway handled this pretty well considering the Game Boy Advance has only the one directional control. Button A will fire in the direction you're facing and button B will stop you from moving so you can stand in place and fire wherever you want. Now since sitting still in this game is generally not a good idea (and guarantees almost instant death in the arcade), they've toned down the difficulty for the most part. The one thing I did notice, though, is as you get to higher levels all of the enemies start to move very fast. Actually, they move as fast as you and try to corner you. It's possible this also happens in the arcade at some point (I've never been good enough to find out for sure), but not as early as in this port. I found it was sometimes hard to determine the human Mikey from the red robots and ended up killing myself instead of getting a bonus. Nonetheless, this is still a decent port of Robotron: 2084 and it plays well considering the control set up.

Lastly is Sinistar. I'll start by saying I was happy to hear that Sinistar does speak to you just like the arcade although the volume on the speech is low (I had to use headphones to even hear it). The arcade version of this game was designed to be very difficult. The Game Boy port makes some aspects easier and some harder. The worst aspect of this port is the control. The arcade version used a 49-way optical joystick and it's clear that Midway tried to emulate this. They set it up so when you press a direction it rotates the ship (not unlike Time Pilot) but the problem here is that the ship doesn't stop in that direction that you're pressing. For instance, if you press up to go up, the ship will rotate towards up but stop in a diagonal direction instead. This makes the general control excessively difficult to manage, especially since you need to constantly switch directions and can never really get it to go where you want. Likewise, when you changed direction in the arcade, the ship could slow down a bit before turning and that isn't the case here - you constantly move at full speed. When the Warriors fire at you, it's usually with deadly accuracy unless you're flying circles around them. While Sinistar himself was always very difficult to beat in the arcade, it's even harder to beat him here. Actually, as long as he's not visible on screen, he doesn't seem to chase you at all but once you go to him and he gets on screen, it's instant death. You can't get away even if you try because he moves so fast that you never have a chance to even react. I was actually very disappointed in this port because it had a lot of potential for being almost exactly like the arcade version but it fails miserably in the controls department and without good control you simply can't have a good game. Besides the control, it also doesn't help much that you can't even attempt to outrun Sinistar once he's shown up on screen. In my opinion, this particular port is nearly unplayable.

Multiplayer support, experience

There is no multiplayer or two player options for any of the games. It's too bad that they couldn't have made Joust playable over a link cable'it would've made a nice addition to this cartridge.

As with most Williams video games from the early 80's, these all have bright and colorful graphics and each game looks just like its coin-op counterpart. Unfortunately the size of the Game Boy Advance screen makes it harder to see some of the details (not that there were a whole lot to be seen in the originals) but let's face it, if you're playing these games you aren't playing for the cutting edge graphics anyway.

The audio for all four games sounds just like you'd expect to hear from the original arcade games. Most of the sounds are just beeps and blips and other types of tones. I was impressed to hear that Sinistar has the speech from the arcade game although the volume was a little low.

There's not much here and really doesn't need to be. The docs simply tell you the story of each game, the general controls, and the point values. There's also page that lists a couple hints for each game.

Bottom Line

Overall, the ports are close to their original arcade versions, but none are exact Then again, most people probably won't care about exactness unless they're purists anyway. Three of the four games are fun to play for the most part and look and sound just like they should even if they do have some quirks here and there. It seems to me that this game was hurried out possibly so it could be available for the Christmas season. Maybe that also would explain why there are only four classics on this cartridge (whereas ports for other systems had six). Anyway, this isn't a bad collection and I may be griping more than the average game player since I'm such a fanatic, but it just seemed to me that they could have done a better job porting these games over.

• Dutch Government Regulating Online Gambling?

    07 October 2010

    It seems the Dutch government is having a hard time with what to do with online gambling and has now, again it seems, flop stances. The Government has done a lot over the years to keep online gambling out. They made a blacklist of foreign online gambling sites (2008) and then told banks to not do business with them for fear of being prosecuted; the Dutch version of the U.S. UIGEA. They have also spent a lot of time in European Court fighting to keep online gambling out.

    Ladbrokes and Betfair have been battling Holland for years with the case going all the way to the European Court of Justice . Late in 2009, The Advocate General of Europe’s highest court provided his opinion on the matter and decided that the Dutch Government had the right to band foreign gambling sites from operating within its borders.

    But that was then and this is now and a new government has a different view of online gambling.  Today in an announcement in Telegraaf, it now seems the Netherlands will license and regulate internet gambling.  Just like any changes of opinions, the first thing pointed out was the money and the fact it could raise €270 million in revenue a year.

    There has been no official announcement other than the article in Telegraaf which has been inundated with pages upon pages of negative comments from its readers. So will this possible Dutch legalization go through? No one knows for sure yet but if history is any indication, don’t be surprised in another flip flip.

Owing to the high pressure stored in these springs, just professional repair services are suggested. And King Garage Door experts are always up to the mark.

Types of Garage Door Springs

Broken Garage Door Spring RepairExtension springs have power stored in them with stretching or extending. During the garage door closure, the weight is gotten rid of slowly from the nearby horizontal track and this includes tension to the extending spring. Every extension spring is always mounted in a set. Each spring runs parallel to the horizontal garage door tracks. Tension is given by each spring independently despite the other spring. Including steel pulleys supplies mechanical benefit. Nevertheless, these garage door springs can be plagues by one side lagging problem. Sides can be stabilized by readjusting the tension springs to get rid of the problem.

Torsion springs are installed based on door's weight and size. There can be several springs, 1 to 4, for a single door. They are connected to a metal shaft which is installed directly above the opening point of the door. Aluminum springs are attached on each shaft end for safety. The tension springs are wound after this drum installation. The shaft is distributed equally with the whole pressure of the torsion springs. For door operation, the force is moved on to both drums simultaneously which turns the garage door cable similarly on both sides. The strolling phenomenon is removed in this torsion spring setup.

When to Worry About Broken Garage Door Springs?

Loose retention cables can create springs to strongly break out of the arrangement. This can trigger damage to the nearby tools including your expensive car. Worse still, any person near can be hurt real bad!

Possibly the largest mistake any home owner can commit is to repair garage door springs on their own without proper expertise and also tools. Is the tremendous torque stored in these springs were to unleash, the outcomes can be deadly.

Whenever the cable or springs break out, the consequences can be devastating. Simply picture snapping a steel rubber band with great force. So, King Garage Door always suggests experts for garage door spring replacement.
