Manchester United want Ligue 1 midfielder, a good deal?

Manchester United want Ligue 1 midfielder, a good deal?

Bengaluru, January 14: Manchester United are interested in highly regarded LOSC Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare, according to reports in England. And, they have been given a boost with the news that the Ligue 1 giants are happy to part ways with the French midfielder if their valuation of €35 million is met.

The 21-year-old has earned rave reviews over the past couple of seasons that has seen him getting linked with some of the biggest clubs in world football such as Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, AC Milan and now it is believed that Manchester United are leading the race for the 21-year-old.

A product of the reputed Paris Saint-Germain youth academy, the midfielder did not make a single senior appearance for the French champions and chose to establish his career with Lille.

Soumare made the switch to Lille in the summer of 2017 and has gradually established himself as one of the best young players in the division catching the eye of eagle-eyed scouts from around Europe. He has become a key member of the Lille side over the past couple of years and has been a key reason behind the club's surge for the Ligue 1 title this time out.

The 21-year-old is a defensive midfielder by trade but can also feature in a box to box role and has been used in both roles by Lille manager Christophe Galtier. He has already racked up 91 appearances for Les Dogues and has just one goal and two assists to his name till date. However, judging a defensive midfielder in terms of goals and assists is not fair.

The 21-year-old has featured 22 times in all competitions this time out, helping Lille to tcontend for the title with Lyon and PSG and also helped them qualify for the Europa League knockout stages.

Manchester United do have plenty of options to choose from in the middle of the park. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has mostly used a double pivot with a number ten in front of them and for the two positions, he has a plethora of options in Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay, Fred, Nemanja Matic and Donny van de Beek.

However, with Matic aged 32 right now and struggling with injuries and Paul Pogba's future at the club looking uncertain, the club needs to look for alternatives in the middle of the park and Soumare certainly looks like a solid candidate to bolster their midfield for many years to come.

€35 million is not a very big fee these days especially for a player who is just 21 years of age. Soumare is tough-tacking and hard-working midfielder who can be a long-term replacement of Nemanja Matic and with him, the Red Devils will certainly become stronger in terms of both quality and depth in midfield.

Meet Dr. Shannon

Dr. Shannon received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse (UWL) in December 2015. She then went on to earn her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta Georgia in December 2019.

She is excited to join the team at MY Life Health Center; it is the place that changed her career path. While attending UWL Shannon was on the Women’s Track and Field team. She became injured and unable to practice with her teammates. She tried athletic training, physical therapy, massage therapy, dry needling, and many different modalities, but she was merely maintaining her injuries and still experiencing daily pain. Then came the day where she met Dr. Chad. He did extremity adjustments and put her foot, ankle, and hip bones back in alignment and her body started to heal faster. Within weeks she was back on the track with her team! Shannon went on to competing on the 4x400m relay team and they now hold the school record and achieved 5 national titles over her competition days. Dr. Chad had a huge impact on her life, and she is ecstatic to have to opportunity to work with the man who started her career change.

Dr. Shannon has a goal of helping her community to live a healthier life, the natural way! She is excited to inform her patients on the importance of chiropractic care and begin a total body wellness lifestyle. She enjoys working on a variety of patients from newborn to elderly, but she really enjoys working with athletes and doing extremity adjustments. She can use a variety of techniques to get down to the cause of what is going on in the body so that her patients are able to live a full life with minimal pain.

Outside the office

Dr. Shannon spends her time out of the office educating people to live a healthy life and take control of their health. She is married to her wonderful husband Nick. They have one son, Landon, who is adored. She enjoys spending time with her friends and family and hiking the bluffs. When weather is nicer she enjoys doing yard work, going for walks with her family, and running around La Crosse.

Tokyo Eats, Good Eats

Ah, Japan... So many good food, so little time!
That's how I feel to this day. I was a bit frustrated that I wasn't able to visit some of the recommended dining places in Tokyo, like Nabezo shabu-shabu, rotating sushi restos, and some wagyu beef eateries that abound. Buti nga nakapag-Ichiran kami! =) There was just not enough time and we have five kids with us who have different food preferences. Thank goodness there's the familiar Mc Donald's, 7-11, and Yoshinoya for their quick take-out meals.

During our short stay in Tokyo, I was able to sample several food items wherever we had a stop. This is not in any way a "best of Tokyo" food list, but rather what we actually ate while we walked the streets of Shinjuku, Shibuya, Harajuku, Akihabara, Ikebukuro and Tsukiji. Kung saan lang mapadpad, dun na kami kumakain.

Ang daming ramen places talaga everywhere! On our first night when we arrived, we just walked around the vicinity of the hotel and found a small eatery with ramen and karaage. Something the kids are wiling to eat. It was almost midnight when we had our late dinner. Pwede na. I don't even remember the name of the place.

The next morning, we went to Shibuya and found an Ichiran branch beside a mall (below). We line outside the building but there was a long wait inside, so the kind usher advised us to proceed to the other branch instead. It was just a few blocks away. We still queued but turnover was fast, so we got seated in no time.

We finally got to try the famous Ichiran Ramen and we loved it. Clean taste, simple and creamy broth. Hindi nakakaumay yung lasa. We even took home two boxes of their instant ramen! =)

I love takoyaki. I spotted Gindaco stalls a few times while we were walking around and there'a always a line. I thought I won't be able to try it. Luckily, they have a branch in Yodobashi Akiba so this was our snack after the family went shopping in the same building.

They're on every street corner! 7-11, Family Mart, Lawson, Mini Stop... and many other local shops , fruit stands, and delis.

I spotted these bright red strawberries on display and I immediately grabbed a pack to go. Super sweet, firm, and juicy! I only got to try the red ones. Maybe next time I can splurge a bit and get some  of those white ones. I heard they're much sweeter, thus more pricey.  =)

These cold sandwiches are the best! I ate them during a bus ride. I super loved the combo egg sandwich and ham & egg. Must-try! There's also egg salad sandwhich, katsu sandwich, even assorted onigiri, and pork buns(siopao) for your grab-and-go meals.

Cafe mocha from an Anime cafe? Why not? I forgot this juice we ordered but we just tried these (expensive)drinks while waiting for my niece to check out the place.  Nothing special about these drinks except for the presentation.

Another "fancy" cafe inside Takashimaya in Shinjuku. We were too tired and hungry from going up and down several floors of Tokyu Hands, so M and I ended up spending a bit too much for an iced coffee, a slice of cheesecake and a very dry chocolate cake. The coffee was good though.

Crepes. This one, I regret not trying.  We had several chances in Harajuku, and then on the streets of Shinjuku.  It was just too cold for us to stop walking and order one to go.  Siguro same lang naman sa mga crepes dito.  =)  Have you tried this in Japan?

Cremia. This was the only ice cream (soft serve) I was able to try and buti nalang masarap! Ordered this from the cafe in Snow Town Yeti for 550Yen! Mahal! Would have loved to try a matcha ice cream there but the weather was too cold, and eating ice cream was the last thing on my mind.

While looking for a place to eat, we landed in Freshness Burger for our second night. I can say I was very satisfied with our orders. Masarap yung burgers. I had the burger with truffled mushroom, and J had this cheese burger. The kids got super cheesy hotdogs in a bun. I was just very hungry and too lazy to take food shots, except for this one.  The fries were good too, as well as the hot lemon-ginger juice I had. Yummy comfort food.

We gotta have some beef. I was expecting more from this meal, but this was just good. Maybe because it was breaded. The beef was really tender, and miso soup was very flavorful. I wanted to try more. Other wagyu dining places were full that night we went out for dinner. Sayang.

TSUKIJI Fish Market

On the way to the fish market, the sidewalk was lined with several vendors selling dried fruits and delicacies. These persimmons caught my eye and took home two packs, 1000Yen each! Mahal naman talaga ang persimmons and ang daming laman in one supot, so it was a good deal. My pasalubong for my in-laws and they loved it.

People really line up for the camote (sweet potato) here!

Fresh seafood for breakfast, only at Tsukiji fish market.

I was not able to explore and visit the different stalls coz we have kids with us. Kung ako lang, I would have walked all the way to the end of the street to sample as many food as I can. =)  It was also very crowded that day and was difficult to walk and navigate the pathways.  We settled here at one of the bigger dining places -- Tenkomori Don.

I had one of my best meals here.  First time to have this kind of breakfast/brunch.

Super duper fresh sashimi rice bowls, or kaisendon. Pricey but worth it! J had the one on the left with tuna and uni, kids got one bowl each of the grilled seafood toppings, and mine is the one at bottom with salmon, roe and crabs. Crabs!!! Generous topping of crab meat! The best!

Beautiful, glorious crab rice bowl. Naglalaway nanaman ako dito!

Kaisen don (mixed)

Tekka (tuna) don with soft boiled egg

Unagi (eel) don

Salmon don

Yakiniku (grilled meat) for our last dinner. Not bad at all. Busog lahat. There are several food choices in Subnade at the basement 2 of our hotel building (Shinjuku Prince Hotel) and it was the most convenient place to shop and dine, especially when we were too lazy to walk outside in the cold.

Not to be missed is Don Quijote. 24-hours of shopping with 6 (or 8) floors of assorted merchandise, from houseware to fashion and accessories, personal care products, gadgets, bags, novelty and gift items, toys, grocery items, etc. etc.  This building is a short walk from our hotel so we were able to got back and forth to buy Japanese goodies here for pasalubong.

Aside from Don Quijote, Bic Camera and Bicqlo are also very popular retail establishments that carry food items, aside from their main products which are mostly electronics.  I was able to buy some crackers and mochi from Bic Camera, and of course, last minute shopping from the airport.

'Til we meet again, Japan!

Residents flocked to Roosevelt General Hospital Saturday morning to get flu shots, child immunizations, blood screenings, and other services at its health fair.

“Our first year, we maybe had 75 people show up, including volunteers,” said hospital Public Relations Director Amber Hamiltion. “Last year we had 500. This year, we are anticipating every bit of 750 to 1,000. This turnout has been fantastic.” Click here to read the full article...

Texas' ban on gay marriage ruled unconstitutional

Photo of Guillermo Contreras

SAN ANTONIO — A federal judge in San Antonio on Wednesday declared Texas' ban on gay marriage unconstitutional. The Lone Star state's refusal to recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages is also unconstitutional, he ruled.

U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia, however, also issued a stay, meaning the bans remain in effect for the time being.

“Regulation of marriage has traditionally been the province of the states and remains so today,” Garcia wrote in the 48-page ruling. “However, any state law involving marriage or any other protected interest must comply with the United States Constitution.”

Two gay couples have sued the state aiming to overturn the bans. Nicole Dimetman and Cleopatra De Leon had to go to Massachusetts to get married, and they want Texas to recognize the union. Mark Phariss and Vic Holmes, meanwhile, have had a 17-year courtship and say they want to get married here in their home state.

Garcia ruled that the couples met the criteria for a preliminary injunction, including the likelihood of winning the suit.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott issued a statement Wednesday confirming that his office plans to appeal the ruling with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. But there is no rush to do so because of the stay, he said.

“This is an issue on which there are good, well-meaning people on both sides. And, as the lower court acknowledged today, it's an issue that will ultimately be resolved by a higher court,” Abbott said.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled over and over again that States have the authority to define and regulate marriage. The Texas Constitution defines marriage as between one man and one woman,” Abbot continued in the written statement. “If the Fifth Circuit honors those precedents, then today's decision should be overturned and the Texas Constitution will be upheld.”

“We are extremely happy — happy beyond words — with Judge Garcia's decision,” Phariss and Holmes said Wednesday in a written statement. “Today, Judge Garcia affirmed that the Equal Protection Clause applies to all Texans. We are delighted by that decision, and we expect that, if appealed, it will be upheld.”

In the same joint statement, Dimetman and De Leon described the decision as “a great step towards justice for our family.”

“Ultimately, the repeal of Texas' ban will mean that our son will never know how this denial of equal protections demeaned our family and belittled his parents' relationship,” they said in a written statement. “We look forward to the day when, surrounded by friends and family, we can renew our vows in our home state of Texas.”

Nationwide, seven states have struck down same-sex marriage bans, in whole or in part, in the past 65 days. But every state, including now Texas, has a stay in effect leaving the laws in place until the issue is visited by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Plaintiffs' attorney Barry Chasnoff described Wednesday's ruling as “one more voice to the chorus that is rising around the country, declaring that all citizens have the right to marriage equality.”

I did it! Mojo Monday

I am very happy with how this turned out (doing my happy dance)!  This card was made using the “You Rock” Level 2 paper pack.

I normally have trouble with sketches that do not have cutting instructions but by using my scrap pieces I did not waste any paper when I messed up a measurement or a cut.

This is what happens when you leave your comfort zone every once in a while.     Pardon me while the Pug and I do our happy dance.

Bowel Incontinence Symptoms

Bowel incontinence (doctors may refer to this as “Fecal Incontinence” or “FI”) happens when someone loses control of the passage of solid stool (waste matter). It can range from the loss of an entire solid bowel movement to the loss of a small amount of liquid waste or gas.

Any of the following may occur:

  • Having an accident before getting to the bathroom

  • Passing stool during normal everyday activities

  • Passing fecal matter while passing gas

  • Not being able to hold in gas

  • Difficulty staying clean

There are two common types of bowel incontinence, urge incontinence and passive incontinence.  Find out more about the types of bowel incontinence to gain a better understanding of the condition.

Symptoms Score

The Cleveland Clinic Fecal Incontinence Score (CCFIS) is the most commonly used scoring system in the U.S. to help patients assess severity with their doctors.1

To find your score, rate each of your symptoms by circling the number in the chart that best describes how often you experience it. Once complete, add up your total score to share and discuss with your doctor.

Scores range from 0 (not incontinent) to 20 (more problematic). No matter your score, if accidents are impacting your life, talk to your doctor.

Learn more about how your bowels work.

The Bird is the Word

We love seeing pictures from customers of our tags in use, which is why #BirdBanding is one of NB&T’s favorite hashtags on Twitter! We saw lots of tweets this past year of people sharing their bird banding adventures, whether it be collecting data for research, educating others about birds or sharing their banding accomplishments. After going through old tweets, we narrowed it down to NB&T’s top 10 favorite bird banding tweets from 2016!

10.) Check out the yellow on this Warbler’s belly! This is also a great demonstration of a bird bander’s hold.

tweet 10
9.) How could we not love this awesome pictures showing the wide berth of sizes that we offer, all about to go into action on multiples species?

tweet 9
8.) Bands are used often for tracking purposes, epically in migratory birds like geese! This is a great shot of the applicator being used to put the band on.

tweet 8

7.) Another use of bands is to label the hatch year, or the year they were born, to help track age down the road.

tweet 7
6.) It’s a huge accomplishment getting your first Peregrine Falcon! This bird of prey is the fastest bird in the world with the highest recorded speed being over 200 MPH.

tweet 6
5.) We always enjoy when people find their jobs to be fun! And cranking out 150 banded geese is impressive.

tweet 5

4.) We get to see lots of pictures of smaller birds, ducks and geese banded, so this Green Heron is quite the treat!

tweet 4
3.) Look at those little feet indeed! This is a great example of a band on a string versus the band on the actual bird. Thanks PA Deer Research for all your great pictures.

tweet 3
2.) We always enjoy when children get to learn about birds and other wildlife. Getting to hear the heart rate of a bird is quite the opportunity!

tweet 2
1.) The US Fish and Wildlife tweeted a blog post that is extremely informational about bird banding. How it works, the history of it, the oldest banded bird, reporting found bands and information on how you too can become a bander. https://www.fws.gov/news/blog/index.cfm/2016/9/6/Birdbanding

Probiotics for caries prevention?

Caries is the most common chronic disease in children and adults and it is costly to manage. Studies have suggested that probiotic bacteria may have a beneficial effect on caries prevalence.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a probiotic chewing tablet, given as a daily supplement after fluoride toothpaste use, on the development of early childhood caries in preschool children living in a multicultural low-socioeconomic area.

Healthy Children age 2-3 years of age were randomised to receive either probiotic chewing tablets containing not less than a 1 × 108 total CFU ProBiora3® blend of three strains of probiotic bacteria (S. uberis KJ2TM, S. oralis KJ3TM, S. rattus JH145TM) or placebo tablet. The tablets had a wild cherry flavour and were sweetened with erythritol, a natural low-cariogenic polylol.   Compliance was rated as ‘acceptable’ when ≤3 tablets per week were forgotten and as “questionable” when this happened more frequently.

All parents were thoroughly instructed to carry out tooth brushing with a smear layer of fluoridated toothpaste (1,100 ppm) twice a day (morning and evening) throughout the entire study period. Children were clinically examined at baseline and after 1 year by one of two trained and calibrated dental hygienists.

Caries was visually scored on surface level as, sound (no evidence of caries), initial (first visual change in enamel), cavitated (breakdown of enamel, with or without visible dentine) or arrested (hard and smooth surface but whitish, brownish or black) after drying and cleaning and expressed as decayed surfaces (ds). Caries increment was calculated for each patient.

  • 138 patients were randomised (71 intervention, 67 placebo)
  • 28 patients (20%) were lost to follow up, 17 in intervention group 11 in placebo group.
  • Compliance was graded as acceptable in 72 % of the children in the test group and 69 % in the placebo group.
  • Mean caries increment (ds) at 1 year was significantly lower in the  in test group =0.2 (SD, 1.2)  placebo group = 0.18 ( SD, 1.4)
    • Absolute risk reduction = 22%
    • Relative risk reduction = 0.47 (95% CI; 0.24–0.98)
    • Numbers needed to treat = 5
  • No adverse effects were reported.

The authors concluded:

Within the limitations of the present study, the results suggested that early childhood caries development could be reduced through daily administration of these probiotic chewing tablets as adjunct to daily use of fluoride toothpaste in preschool children. Therefore, further studies to confirm these findings and clarify a possible dose–response relationship, as well as health economic issues, seems justified.

This is an interesting trial that suggests that probiotics may be helpful in reducing caries. However as the authors’ note other studies conducted in a range of age groups provide conflicting results. The authors also highlight the challenges they faced in recruitment and the high level of drop out (20%) should be noted. Both recruitment to the study, drop out and compliance could have been related to the potentially challenging treatment regime of a daily pill for children. Additional studies need to be carried out to see if these findings are repeatable if there is a dose-response and the whether the intervention is acceptable and cost effective.

Previously we looked at a systematic review ( Dental Elf 28th April) which suggested that probiotics reduced mutans streptococci counts. While that review included 19 studies only 2 reported caries as an outcome.

Review suggests a modest failure rate for orthodontic mini-screws used for anchorage reinforcement

iStock_000002551343XSmall colourful braces on teeth

Orthodontic mini-screw implants have become a popular method of providing anchorage reinforcement during orthodontic treatment.  The aim of this review was to assess the failure rates for mini-screw implants used for orthodontic anchorage purposes and to identify any significant risk factors possibly affecting these failure rates.

A wide range of databases (19 in all) were searched including, Medline, Embase, LILACS, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Web of Science, African Journals Online, Digital Dissertations. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective controlled clinical trials, and prospective cohort studies investigating the success and survival of mini-screw implants used for orthodontic anchorage reinforcement in patients of any age and sex were included Studies on mini-implants (implants with a diameter greater than 2 mm) and mini-plates were excluded. Two authors screened papers and extracted data. Bias in RCTs was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool with non-randomised studies being assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.  Failure event rates, relative risks, and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals were calculated. The random-effects model was used to assess each factor’s impact. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were also undertaken.

  • 52 studies were included 5 RCTs, 8 prospective controlled clinical trials, 27 prospective cohort studies, and 12 studies with unclear designs that were assessed to be prospective cohort studies. The majority (73%) of studies were undertaken in a university setting.
  • A funnel plot hinted that there might be publication bias.
  • Meta-analysis found an overall failure rate of 13.5% (95% CI, 11.5-15.8)
  • Failures of mini-screw implants were not associated with patient sex or age and mini-screw implant insertion side, whereas they were significantly associated with jaw of insertion.
  • Failures in the mandible were 1.5 times more than those of the maxilla (relative risk =1.56; 95% CI, 1.13-2.15; P=0.007)
  • Certain trends were identified through exploratory analysis; however, because of the small number of original studies, no definite conclusions could be drawn.

The authors concluded

Orthodontic mini-screw implants have a modest small mean failure rate, indicating their usefulness in clinical practice. Although many factors seem to affect their failure rates, the majority of them still need additional evidence to support any possible associations.

The authors assessed publication bias and calculated that adjusting for this meant that the estimated failure rate would increase to 15.6% (95% CI, 13.3-18.1).

Yale Law School

Yale Law School

Basic Information
Religious Affiliation:

Yale Law School sits in a class by itself and is rarely mentioned as a New England school or even a regional school.

Its entering LSAT and GPA scores make it the most difficult school to get into in the world. Located in New Haven, Conn., it also leads all New England schools, and most schools nationwide, in other important statistics, including bar passage and student-to-faculty ratio.

While high compared to most schools, its employment rate trails Harvard, Columbia and other top schools. That is partly because a large number of students take federal clerkships or move into academia, and take time off before doing so.

PreLaw magazine ranked the law school building, one of the oldest in the nation, as the 13th best facility in the U.S. The magazine also gave it 5th best school for practical training in 2019, based on its unparalleled clinic offerings. No other school comes even close to offering as many clinic positions.

With world-renowned professors, a lax grading policy unfathomable to most law students and a building on the hollowed grounds of Yale University, the school is a paradise, particularly for students who care about pedigree.

Instructions and Rules in Pulju Wilderness Area

A dog in front of the Puljutunturi fell lean-to. There's some hiker's equipment in the lean-to.

In places where there is a maintained campfire site within 500 metres, all fires must be lit at the campfire site. In nature reserves for which a maintenance and utilisation plan or regulations have been issued, you must comply with the items outlined in these documents when lighting fires. Lighting campfires is not recommended in areas with few trees. Felling trees is strictly forbidden and the use of trunks of fallen trees requires a permit.
  • Lighting campfires is forbidden when there is a forest fire warning in effect.
    • Making open fires is always prohibited at both marked campfire sites and when fires are permitted by the land owner if a forest fire warning ( has been issued for the area.
    • This prohibition does not apply to cooking shelters or other fireplaces with a flue.

  • Angling with a single rod is permitted, except in the restricted waters. Persons aged 18–64 years must pay the fisheries management fee. Angling permits for restricted areas are available from Metsähallitus' online shop (
  • Fishers need to check the restrictions on fishing sites at (in Finnish).

Mobile Phone Coverage

  • Although Finland has a broad network for mobile phones, there are some areas in the Pulju Wilderness Area without signal. There may also be some smaller spots where there is interference. If this happens try to climb to a higher place or go into an open area. It may be worth removing the SIM card from your phone and then trying again to make emergency call. Different phones also differ in their coverage.
  • We recommend that you keep your mobile phone warm at all times and take along food and drink. Certain phone models do not work when the temperature falls below zero. You should therefore let someone know your planned route. To keep your mobile phone charged, bring along a spare power source, a spare battery or an old phone with a working battery.

Equipment and Safety

  • When wilderness trekking in Pulju Wilderness Area you should always have a map, a compass and proper clothing, footwear and overnight gear depending on the length of your trek. Please note that weather conditions change very quickly and it can snow even in summer.
  • If you face an emergency on your hike, e.g. get lost, get injured or observe wildfire, call 112 and report an emergency. Background information on how to act in an emergency.
  • Make sure you pack a first-aid kit.
  • Hiking in wilderness areas is more demanding than on marked trails. For this reason it is good to be an experienced hiker before attempting a wilderness trek.
  • You can leave your route plan and timetable at for example Fell Lapland Visitor Centre. Remember to also report on your return, so that a search party is not sent after you needlessly. Search and Rescue services charge for needless search operations.
  • Hiking in Finland:

112 Suomi - mobile application

When an emergency call is being made through the 112 Suomi - mobile application ( the dispatcher will automatically receive the callers position.

It is recommended to keep the mobile phone warm and to bring extra food and water with you. There are many excursion locations with no mobile coverage and some mobile phones does not work in sub-zero temperatures, that is why it is always a good idea to let someone know about your itinerary and timetable.

Often the Ins and outs Involving This Common Web Casino Looked into

It is explained that – likely by current figures – we have more people playing casino online games over the Net than in brick and mortar casinos. This is remarkable, because considerably less than ten many years ago, the World wide web on line casino idea was nonetheless at its infancy – an concept whose feasibility was nonetheless a subject matter of discussion. Number of of us could foresee a working day when Net-based casinos would threaten the extremely existence of traditional brick and mortar casinos. But that is precisely what has transpired in a circumstance where a lot of standard brick and mortar shops are compelled to downsize, or in any other case adapt to the new severe obstacle, actually threat, which is the Web on line casino.

In order to recognize how this phenomenal accomplishment of the World wide web-based on line casino has come to be, it would be a great notion to investigate the workings of this sort of on the internet casinos, as they are much more popularly identified.

And as it turns out, the on-line casino performs alongside the same strains as the standard brick and mortar on line casino, with the only big difference becoming that it is primarily based on the Web (so that the players in fact perform the numerous video games on their pcs, via their Internet connections).

As with any other variety of casino, most of the game titles played in the World wide web casino are, far more or less, betting video games. These are games of possibility to a certain degree, with the degree to which good results relies upon on luck various from match to game – so that in a recreation like online bingo, good results is practically totally a make a difference of luck whereas in a match like on the web poker, success would seem to be more a issue of approach than a matter of luck. The typical Net on line casino on the web will are likely to have a variety of game titles on offer, with what can be termed as the prime World wide web casino normally giving fairly a lot what one particular would expect in a top, standard brick and mortar casino.

In most of the online games offered in online casinos, the individuals get to perform from 1 an additional. There are of system those games the place one particular receives to wager against the ‘house’ but these in which folks enjoy in opposition to 1 one more look to be the most well-known. The biggest gain of the Web on line casino on the web comes up when we look at the these online games exactly where players get to engage in from one particular one more where, as it turns out, folks from fully various components of the planet can get to perform collectively in true time. Many thanks to the many items the Internet has created attainable, this no longer looks like a big deal. But for people of us who ended up there prior to the coming of these systems, these kinds of things are just incredible. This bring collectively of men and women from various parts of the globe – and also can make it achievable for people who would most certainly by no means have gotten to enjoy together, in the conventional get of factors, to do so.

Starting to engage in in a typical World wide web casino is very effortless, in simple fact less complicated, than obtaining to engage in in a standard brick and mortar casino. The 1st step in this course is usually to identify a single these kinds of casino exactly where one particular can engage in. Most folks conduct Web lookups, on conditions this sort of as ‘top Net on line casino,’ ‘best Net casino’ or simply ‘Internet casino’ in their research for a great on line casino at which to sign up and start off actively playing. Most men and women, it would seem, recognize the best Net on line casino institutions at which to play via Internet lookup final results, or by way of referrals by close friends.

Possessing discovered the World wide web casino at which to be enjoying, the next step is usually to sign up with it. This is usually an effortless process of filling a easy form (which typically entirely un-intrusive). At this phase, no money is truly essential from you – just basic details, which can be valuable in sending prize income should one come to earn something, which is normally what every person becoming a member of a on line casino hopes for.

It is following registration that the typical on the web on line casino will need for you to load some income into your playing account in get to start playing. Some best Net casino establishments will, nonetheless, load the 1st sum of money into your: to give you one thing that is akin to a ‘free sa mpling’ of their choices, soon after whose exhaustion – and if you like what you received – you can proceed to add cash into the account. The aforementioned approach is normally achieved via what are termed as a ‘no deposit on line casino bonus’, like exactly where a casino giving poker and bingo offers what is termed as ‘no deposit poker bonus’ or ‘no deposit bingo bonus’.

Soon after registering and subsequently loading funds into the on-line casino account, one particular can continue to start enjoying the game titles on provide there. As earlier described, one particular could be taking part in towards other people (some most almost certainly worlds absent) or enjoying against the ‘house’ that is, the on line casino establishment.

Opposite to what several of us dread, the normal Web casino will are inclined to be quite liberal in its dispensation of justly gained prize cash. It is not most likely to try to withhold the cash – observing that it has a reputation to shield. And there is no surer way to destroy the popularity of a on line casino, whether or not World wide web-primarily based or or else, than to make it come to be witnessed as a single that performs games with justly gained income. Following all, the aim of joining a on line casino is to acquire (and get prize money). So if a casino withholds winnings, what would be the point of becoming a member of it? It is with this sort of pondering in head that most Net casino managers will actually go a prolonged way to guarantee that the winners of numerous video games on offer in fact get their rightfully received prize cash.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (WWBT) - William and Mary men’s basketball has paused all activities after a positive coronavirus test within its program.

The Tribe was notified of the positive test on Sunday, which was discovered as part of the program’s regular testing protocol. All Tier 1 members of the program, which include players, coaches, trainers and managers, have entered a 14 day quarantine.

“Keeping our student-athletes safe and healthy has been our top priority from the start,” head coach Dane Fischer said in a statement. “The university has made tremendous efforts to protect our entire campus community and the athletics department has an invaluable resource in Dr. Wells, our chief medical officer.  Our protocols are in place to ensure we were able to identify any positive results, contact trace and quarantine as necessary.  We will diligently follow the guidelines set forth in order to ensure the health and safety of the members of our program and community, and look forward to returning to the court when it is considered safe to do so.”

The positive test will wipe five games off of the Tribe’s slate, at least temporarily, including Monday’s scheduled contest at NC State. William and Mary’s home game at Hampton (Dec. 3), as well as road games at George Washington (Dec. 5), Norfolk State (Dec. 9) and Virginia (Dec. 12) have been postponed.

With no further setbacks, the Tribe hopes to resume basketball activities on December 14.

New Robot Testing Terrorist Bomb Recipes

/ Source: TechNewsDaily

Following a terrorist's recipe for blowing up a plane is a good way for human bomb-makers who study these recipes to risk death themselves. But a fearless new robot named "LEXI" can help the U.S. Department of Homeland Security cook up potentially unstable explosive mixtures for the sake of studying terrorist tactics.

LEXI works inside the "firing tanks" used for testing the power of homemade explosives at the High Explosives Applications Facility of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. The robot's job is to take explosive cocktails from a vibrating mixer and place them on a firing table to prepare for detonation — a task too dangerous for humans to handle.

"We need to see what a terrorist might use and how effective certain types of explosives might be in bringing down planes and other targets of interest," said Lee Glascoe, an engineer at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

The robot hides behind a blast shield as an acoustic mixer vibrates to mix bomb ingredients into an explosive mixture. LEXI only comes out into the open to move the bomb mixture to the firing table before  rolling out the firing tank's door to escape the blast zone prior to detonation.

Such robotic precautions have enabled the National Explosives Engineering Sciences Security (NEXESS) Center — a program is funded by the Department of Homeland Security — to test the explosive power of possible bomb mixtures used by terrorists.

"There are a lot of materials that we look at, and many are safe to work with in contact, such as with your hands, if you know what you are doing," Glascoe explained. "But there are many that are not; particularly if they have certain additives like sulfur or aluminum."

LEXI represents a modified iRobot Packbot 510 — a battle-tested robot made by the company that also produces Roomba vacuum cleaners. But LEXI's unique job of assisting bomb-making stands out compared with its fellow iRobots that usually help U.S. soldiers disable roadside bombs in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"Before LEXI, we weren't able to look at some of these explosives because of safety concerns," Glascoe said.

Do You Know How to Make Your Home More Livable?

 In Consumer Information, Energy Efficiency, Home Building, Home Repair

Judie Docs, Executive Officer, North Coast Building Industry Association (NCBIA), CSP, MCSP, CGP, CMP, MIRM

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a resounding effect on the way people live — not only in how they interact with those around them, but potentially in how they view their homes as well. More time at home may be changing the way individuals think about how tangible elements such as increasing their capacity to work from home, as well as the not-so-tangible elements, like indoor air quality, noise reduction and overall home performance.

High-performance homes can provide increased comfort, improved air quality, reduced noise, and lower energy and water bills, which can benefit the health, well-being and finances of you and your family. Your current home may not provide these elements but investing in remodeling or a new home could ensure they are incorporated going forward. Asking the right questions will help ensure you are getting the types of features you are looking for in a remodel or your next new home.

For example, you may notice now that it seems like the AC or heater is running all the time, or fluctuations in temperature as you move from room to room throughout the day. Or maybe you are using more energy and water during the daytime, so you are increasingly concerned about how this will affect your utility bills. Raising these types of concerns with a home builder or remodeler can help them identify the right high-performance solutions for your current or future home.

Solutions may include:

  • Products and building materials to increase energy efficiency, such as:
    • Smart thermostats to help regulate temperature.
    • High R-value insulation in floors, walls, and ceilings to retain heat within home.
    • Weatherstripping around windows and doors to avoid air leakage, which can overwork air conditioning units.
    • WaterSense-labeled fixtures to reduce water usage; and
    • Appropriately sized heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment to heat and cool your home comfortably and efficiently.
  • Products and building materials to improve ventilation and air quality, such as:
    • Smart appliances to improve efficiency.
    • HVAC systems with sensors and automation to help regulate circulation; and
    • Sustainable building materials that use fewer chemicals and irritants.

Show Trials Highlight Deep Flaws in System: Court Upheld Unfair Prison Term for Chen Guangcheng

Comments Off on Show Trials Highlight Deep Flaws in System: Court Upheld Unfair Prison Term for Chen Guangcheng

Show Trials Highlight Deep Flaws in System:

Court Upheld Unfair Prison Term for Chen Guangcheng

The Linyi Municipal Intermediate People’s Court announced its verdict today of uphelding the 4-year and 3-month sentence of Chen Guangcheng for “gathering crowds to disrupt traffic order” after a closed door hearing. Chen Guangcheng, the blind prisoner of conscience, is imprisoned at the Yinan County Detention Center in Shandong province for exposing local authorities’ use of violence against villagers in official family planning campaigns.

CRD finds the decision grossly unjust. The court went through the motions, putting up a show of “rule of law,” without re-examining the seriously flawed re-trial at the local court. The local Yinan court reached its verdict after it failed to admit new evidences submitted by lawyers, to allow key witnesses to testify in court, to duly respect the defendant’s right to legal council. In fact, the local court’s trial and decision were seriously tainted by police abduction-detention and forced disappearances of key witnesses, by policy intimidation, harassment and arbitrary house detention of defendant’s wife, by police-coordinated violent attack on lawyers. The higher Linyi court’s decision darkened the glimmer of hope for justice, offered by the Linyi Intermediate Court when it overturned the Yinan County Court’s initial verdict. CRD reiterates its demand for the immediate and unconditional release of Chen Guangcheng.

Chen Guangcheng’s lawyer Li Jingsong, recovering from injuries suffered from the attack, received a message from the court yesterday about today’s announcement of verdict. However, the lawyers and the family have not received any notification and they were not present when the verdict was pronounced by the court, while Xinhua’s English service put out the news.

On November 27, 2006, the Yinan County Court re-tried Chen Guangcheng after its verdict was overturned by the higher Linyi Intermediate Court in late October. The Yinan court announced its verdict on December 1, re-convicting Chen Guangcheng for the same crime and sentenced him again for the same jail terms. The Yinan court did little to correct the procedural missteps that marred the investigation and the initial trial.

To intimidate and retaliate against independent lawyers, unidentified hit-men violently attacked lawyers Li Fangping and Li Jinsong, evidently well-coordinated with local police. The attack took place, when the lawyers were traveling to Linyi to visit Chen Guangcheng at the detention center, on the highway in Linyi, Shandong, on December 27, 2006. Li Fangping suffered minor head injuries and continues to experiences headache. Li Jinsong is recovering from swollenness and bruises over his eyes and arms.
