HAPPY BIRTHDAY Robert Nesta "BOB MARLEY"..
maureenlermer
My tribute to …
Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley, OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the rhythm guitarist and lead singer for the ska, rocksteady and reggae band Bob Marley & The Wailers (1963–1981). Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited with helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience.[1]
Marley's music was heavily influenced by the social issues of his homeland, and he is considered to have given voice to the specific political and cultural nexus of Jamaica.[2] His best-known hits include "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Could You Be Loved", "Stir It Up", "Jamming", "Redemption Song", "One Love" and, "Three Little Birds",[3]

Explanation of EDI and How It Came To Be
KCJones
Your first thought might be: "I know already or I wouldn't be reading this publication." Yes, we will give you the "schoolbook" definition. We will even tell you a brief history of EDI (Electronic Data Interchange), but our real purpose is to give you the modern era definition of EDI; and back it up with an expert opinion.Developed in the United States in the mid-1960s, the idea of what became known as EDI today originated with a group of railroad companies.
The standardization of documents proved to be necessary. They formed an organization known as the Transportation Data Coordinating Committee (TDCC) . Renamed the Electronic Data Interchange Association (EDIA) , they received a charter from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and became the ANSI X12 Committee.
Other businesses began to use proprietary systems to exchange invoices and purchase orders. They recognized the economic advantages of fast, efficient and…

Angelyne, the Billboard Queen
Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta
Sunset Boulevard billboard
Yesterday I was in one of those "Whatever Happened To?" modes and was thinking about Angelyne, the billboard queen of the 1980s who became a Hollywood icon by having a billboard of herself.
Her life was pretty mysterious and you can't find too much information via Google.
She came from out of nowhere but did a few music videos (really good, like a cross between Blondie and Missing Persons and Berlin) and cameo appearances in movies, most famous, "Earth Girls are Easy." But then she also did some low budget films in the 1970s. She also sang in a band called Baby Blue.
Angelyne didn't have a rich husband who paid for these billboards, she was single and said the money came from investors. She was also a candidate in a 2003 California recall election.
No one knows the real age of this eccentric lady. In some…

Monday, March 2nd ~ On board the Queen Mary
I was so excited to have my sister and brother-in-law stop by on their way to Arizona. Their time with us was limited, and we opted to take a day trip to Long Beach to tour the Queen Mary. Built by Cunard line in Clydebank, Scotland, she was originally known as job #534.
Although Cunard had maintained a legacy of naming their ships with names ending in "ia" such as Mauretania, Aquitania and Berengeria, legend has it that the tradition was ended due to a miscommunication of sorts.
"As per protocol, legend states that the Cunard directors went to ask King George his blessing of the ship's proposed name saying, "We have decided to name our new ship after England's greatest Queen," meaning Queen Victoria, the King's Grandmother. Upon which the King is reported to have stated, "My…


Suspending water charges will cost the State some €20m, the price of building around 80 local-authority houses.
Fianna Fáil's demand that charges be suspended pending an investigation into securing an appropriate long-term funding model to upgrade the network is "unlikely" to exceed €20m, new documents show.
The Water Services (Amendment) Bill 2016, which was published yesterday, suspends the imposition of household charges for at least nine months.
The suspension comes into force from July 1 until next March, but applies from April 1 last. This means that Irish Water domestic customers will only receive a bill for the first three months of 2016.
Earlier this week, it emerged that the Government had sought expressions of interest for experts to join an Expert Commission to examine the long-term funding model for Irish Water.
The commission must report to a special Dáil committee within five months and the issue of funding the network will be put to a Dáil vote.
But the bill allows the Government to extend the period of suspension if the Expert Commission needs more time or if the Oireachtas committee has not finished its work.
"The section (of the bill) also provides that the minister...shall extend the nine-month period of suspension by way of ministerial order for a further period if he or she is satisfied that an Oireachtas committee, established to examine the issue of funding of domestic water services, will not conclude its work by 31 March, 2017," it says.
Under the bill, households which have refused to pay bills to date cannot be hit with additional late-payment penalties as is currently allowed under the charging regime.
A penalty of €30 for a single-adult household, or €60 for a household of two or more adults, is meant to apply to bills that are 12 months overdue.
As the first water bills were issued in April last year, it means that those penalties now fall due.
Irish Water has previously said it would await the legislation to suspend the charges before deciding how to proceed.
The Water Services (Amendment) Bill says that Irish Water cannot bill customers for services during the period of suspension and that the nine-month suspension period cannot be taken into account when calculating late-payment charges.
The suspension of charges will result in Irish Water requiring additional funding from the Exchequer.
The utility, which this week appointed new managing director Jerry Grant at a salary of €200,000, collected €144m in domestic charges last year, around 53pc of the total income due.
Last year, customers were also entitled to a Water Conservation Grant, worth €100, to offset the cost of their bills.
This cost €110m to administer and deliver and the explanatory notes to the bill say the absence of this will reduce the cost of suspending charges.
"The suspension of domestic water charges... will result in customer revenue losses for Irish Water," the bill says.
It adds: "Due to the suspension of the 2016 Water Conservation Grant, for which €110m was originally allocated, the net additional cost of suspending water charges for nine months is unlikely to exceed €20m in 2016."
The Expert Commission is expected to be announced in the coming weeks and will include national and international experts with "professional expertise" in funding and financing of large-scale infrastructure investment and maintenance programmes, economic regulation, water-resources management and environmental law.

PREVIEW: Throwback Weekend sees several teams swap drivers along with paint schemes
PHOTO: Karyn Marinella, @KarynMarinella
XFINITY Race 24 of 33
VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200 at Darlington
2018 Last-Place Finisher: Austin Cindric
LASTCAR TRACKSIDE COVERAGE
For the second time in three years, LASTCAR will be covering the back of the pack action live from the Darlington Raceway, concluding a road trip from last week's Truck Series event at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.
There are 39 drivers entered, meaning one team will fail to qualify. UPDATE: Make that 38 as the withdrawal of H2 Motorsports locks the remaining entrants into the field.
DRIVER CHANGE: #4-JD Motorsports
DRIVER SWAP: #15-JD Motorsports
It's a game of musical chairs for Johnny Davis' team. Ryan Vargas isn't entered after his 18th-place finish in Road America, and B.J. McLeod takes his place in the #4 with a Bobby Labonte / Slim Jim throwback scheme. Stephen Leicht moves from the #01 to the #15 vacated by McLeod, and will honor Ricky Craven and his Budweiser scheme. Landon Cassill's double duty will be in the #01 left open by Leicht, one week after he was not entered at Road America.
DRIVER SWAP: #5-B.J. McLeod Motorsports
DRIVER CHANGE: #78-B.J. McLeod Motorsports
McLeod's own XFINITY team also swaps drivers with Vinnie Miller returning to the #78 Pit Viper Sunglasses Chevrolet in place of Ryan Ellis, who isn't entered. Miller's move allows Matt Mills to return to the #5 J.F. Electric Chevrolet.
DRIVER CHANGE: #8-JR Motorsports
Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s return to NASCAR competition will go on as scheduled, just days after he and his family survived their private plane crash outside of Bristol. Taking over for Regan Smith, who ran 13th at Road America, Earnhardt will run the previously announced Ed Negre throwback resembling the car Earnhardt's father drove in his Cup debut in 1975. Hellman's Mayonnaise is the primary sponsor.
MISSING: #10-Kaulig Racing
The second Kaulig entry that slid to a disappointing 24th-place finish after A.J. Allmendinger won the pole at Road America is not entered this week.
RETURNING: #12-Penske Racing
Rejoining the list is the part-time Penske entry, this time with Cup regular Ryan Blaney aboard. BodyArmor will sponsor the Mustang.
DRIVER SWAP: #13-Motorsports Business Management
DRIVER CHANGE: #61-Motorsports Business Management
Another driver rotation comes at MBM. Road racer Dick Karth finished 30th in his series debut at Road America, but will not run this week as Chad Finchum takes his place in the #61 Toyota. Finchum moves over from the #13, which will be driven by Tommy Joe Martins, who last week ran the #66. Driving Martins' #66 will be a returning Timmy Hill, his first XFINITY start since his breakthrough 7th-place showing at Bristol.
DRIVER CHANGE: #17-Rick Ware Racing
The preliminary entry list shows the #17 entered without a driver listed, just as it was at Road America. Last week, it was Aaron Quine who was named the team's driver, but the car was withdrawn. UPDATE: Joe Nemechek will run double duty as he was added to run the car by Thursday.
DRIVER CHANGE: #18-Joe Gibbs Racing
Denny Hamlin joins Dale Jr. in making his first XFINITY start of the season, taking the place of 27th-place Road America finisher Matt DiBenedetto. Sport Clips rejoins Hamlin for his yearly double-header at Darlington.
MISSING: #21-Richard Childress Racing
Kaz Grala finished a strong 5th last week in his fifth race of the season with HotScream as sponsor. Future plans for the season are still ongoing, pending sponsorship.
WITHDREW: #28-H2 Motorsports
Shane Lee was originally entered in Saturday's race, making his eighth start of the year with the new Matt Hurley team in the #28 Toyota. Those plans changed on Wednesday when Chris Knight reported Lee had been released from the team, citing performance. A new driver is still to be announced. UPDATE: The team has withdrawn as of Thursday, a shame as were going to run a tribute scheme to Hut Stricklin's Stavola Brothers car that nearly won the 1996 Southern 500.
DRIVER CHANGE: #38-RSS Racing
DRIVER SWAP: #93-RSS Racing
J.J. Yeley moves from the Sieg team's #38 to the #93 in place of Josh Bilicki, who ran 20th at Road America and was still testing at the track on Thursday. Driving in Yeley's place in the #38 is Camden Murphy, whose 5th and most recent series start came in the RSS #93 at Iowa, finishing 24th.
MISSING: #43-Pardus Racing, Inc.
Preston Pardus is not entered this week after both driver and team made their debut at Road America, qualifying a strong 15th but falling out early with suspension issues, finishing 36th.
DRIVER CHANGE: #74-Mike Harmon Racing
One week after Nicolas Hammann drove his car to a strong 15th-place finish, besting the team's season-best of 23rd at Talladega, Mike Harmon will once again drive his #74 for "Throwback Weekend." Harmon's black Chevrolet features a foil silver stripe on each side, resembling the #24 he ran on the short tracks earlier in his career.
RETURNING: #89-Shepherd Racing Ventures
Morgan Shepherd rejoins the circuit for the first time since his DNQ at Bristol, and as that day runs his first Darlington "Throwback Scheme" honoring his first Cup victory at Martinsville in 1981.
DRIVER CHANGE: #90-DGM Racing
Alex Labbe returns from a challenging Pinty's race at Mosport where his Ford suffered engine trouble to drive Mario Gosselin's #90 Chevrolet in place of Dexter Bean, 32nd in Road America. Labbe eyes his sixth series start of the year and first since Watkins Glen, when he ran a season-best 16th.
Loris Hezemans came close to scoring a top-twenty finish in his first career NASCAR start outside of Europe, but was eliminated in the last-minute chaos, bumping him to 22nd. Taking his place this week is a returning Stefan Parsons, who followed up his strong 12th-place run in Daytona with a 21st at Iowa, his most recent start.
CUP INVADERS: #12-Ryan Blaney, #18-Denny Hamlin
CUP Race 25 of 36
Bojangles' Southern 500 at Darlington
2018 Last-Place Finisher: Joey Gase
The Bowmanville to Darlington adventure concludes with the 70th Annual Southern 500 during "Throwback Weekend."
There are just 39 drivers entered for Sunday's Labor Day Classic, marking the 20th short field in 2019 and the seventh in a row.
DRIVER CHANGE: #27-Premium Motorsports
Welcome back Joe Nemechek, who while focusing on his Truck Series team NEMCO Motorsports has not qualified for a Cup Series race since March 1, 2015, a one-off at Atlanta which came about when Front Row Motorsports needed a replacement driver for David Ragan, who was driving in relief of an injured Kyle Busch. It will be Nemechek's 29th Cup start at this track, where his best series finish was a 6th in the 1999 Southern 500, twenty years ago. Nemechek takes the place of Quin Houff, who finished 27th when the series last ran under the lights at Bristol. Houff is not entered this week.
J.J. Yeley will pull double duty this weekend, moving from Rick Ware's newest team, the #54, to the #52, running a simple white tribute scheme to Daytona Beach-Road Course winner Bill Blair. Yeley takes the place of Kyle Weatherman, the last-minute relief driver to a suspended Bayley Currey. Taking Yeley's place in the #54 will be Garrett Smithley, his first start for Ware and first in a Cup race since Michigan last month, where he ran 35th for Spire Motorsports.
MISSING: #53-Rick Ware Racing
Noticeably absent is the third of Ware's quartet, previously driven by Josh Bilicki at Bristol. The list indicates that Bilicki's sponsor AQRE will instead be on Smithley's #54, and is a throwback scheme to Lennie Pond.
RETURNING: #66-Motorsports Business Management
Welcome back Joey Gase and the MBM Cup Series team, back in action after an extended absence. For the team, it will be their first Cup start since this year's Coca-Cola 600, where Gase finished 32nd. For Gase, it will be his first series start since Daytona in July, when he ran 27th in a one-off for Rick Ware.
TRUCKS Race 19 of 23
World of Westgate 200 at Las Vegas
Round of 8 – Race 3 of 3
2018 Last-Place Finisher: Tanner Thorson
The Truck Series returns for the Round of 8 cutoff race in Las Vegas.
LASTCAR STAT OF THE WEEK
Today in LASTCAR history (August 29, 1970): Longtime independent campaigner Dave Marcis picks up the very first last-place finish of his NASCAR Cup Series career in the Halifax County 100 at South Boston Speedway after his #33 1969 Chevrolet, fielded by Wayne Smith, fell out after only three laps. The official reason listed was "quit." Marcis would continue to run in Cup until his final start in the 2002 Daytona 500, but would only finish last eight more times. Just one of those – his last at Pocono on July 26, 1998 – came after 1993.

40 drivers start a NASCAR Cup Series race. 36 fill the grid in the XFINITY Series. 32 take the green in Trucks. Yet, even when the field is short, only a handful of these stories are ever told.
The mission of LASTCAR.info is to fill in these missing pieces one week at a time, especially regarding the least-covered racers in motorsports - the last-place finishers.
Since 2009, LASTCAR.info has covered the untold "race" for the most last-place finishes in NASCAR history - and, in doing so, continues to chronicle the trials and triumphs of those who race for something more meaningful than victory: survival.
New NASCAR articles and statistical updates are added following each Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, XFINITY, and Truck Series race weekend, plus driver features, historical retrospectives, editorials, and more.

LASTCAR's Official Definition of a "Last-Place Finisher" (LPF)
For LASTCAR purposes, including rankings and statistics, a "last-place finisher" (LPF) shall be defined as any single NASCAR driver who, after earning a starting spot in the field for a NASCAR-sanctioned points-paying race against other NASCAR Cup, XFINITY, or Truck Series drivers, was at race's conclusion classified as the last-ranked qualified driver in the field for said race. This classification must be recognized on official NASCAR results, or failing this, by a preponderance of unofficial sources. Only one driver can be classified as the LPF for any single NASCAR-sanctioned race.
So long as the above is met, the LPF can be any one driver classified as such for any reason, including but not limited to (1) a "did not start," that is, an entrant who qualifies for a starting spot in the race, but for any reason is subsequently unable to start the event, including a post-qualifying driver switch if it is still recognized as the LPF in the results (2) an entrant who encounters an event once the race has started which prevents the driver from finishing ahead of any other qualified entrants, including both DNFs and a driver who finishes under power but laps down, (3) a decision to "start and park" the driver's entry, (4) a disqualification handed down by NASCAR and/or track officials that subsequently classifies the driver in the final position behind the unofficial LPF.
LASTCAR shall not consider the LPF as anything else, including but not limited to (1) the lowest-ranked driver who finishes the race under power, (2) the fastest driver who does not qualify for the event in question, (3) a driver who was originally the LPF, but sometime after the race was usurped for the spot by a disqualified entrant NASCAR and/or track officials classified as the official LPF, (4) a driver who may be categorized as finishing last for exhibition events (these entrants shall be ranked only in the rankings for that event, and not commingled with LPFs).
In the rare event where official results or a preponderance of unofficial results are later updated with more accurate information about who was the LPF for that event, LASTCAR rankings and statistics shall be updated to reflect that change.

Takes a CSV list of outputs from HTSeqCount to merge into an expression matrix. Similar to ExprTable but with smallRNA and the output of htseq-count in mind.
samples CSV Mandatory 2-column list of HTSeq outputs to merge into an expression matrix: first column containing sample "Key" id, second column containing sample "File" path to HTSeq feature count output.
TPM CSV Optional Extracts total mapped reads to calculate TPM. Only implemented if parameter TPMcolumn != "".
countArray Array<CSV> Array of expression matrices. Keys include all , filtered, and if TPM calculation is activated, allTPM, filteredTPM. Count matrices labelled "all" contain all quantified features, including those with 0 mapped reads across all samples and those with less than the specified minCount and minPercent parameters. All "filtered" count matrices exclude these quantified features.
no_feature CSV Count matrix of reads that HTSeq did not map to any features. Large values here relative to the expression matrices indicate problems and/or inefficiencies in the expression quantification step. Usually, errors in the feature selection.
TPMcolumn string "" Name of column containing the total number of mapped transcripts to calculate the transcripts-per-million value to scale-normalize samples with. Default is to skip this step.
inclusionKey string "hsa" Species name(s) to be used as inclusion term to count matrix (everything else is filtered to output). These should match the featureID values of HTSeqCount. Regular expression search is possible for multiple inclusion key values. E.G. "hsa|hiv" (human and human immunodeficiency virus miRNAs).
minCount int 1 Minimum number of read counts for a miRNA/smallRNA feature to be considered "expressed" in a sample.
minPercent float 0.0 Minimum percentage of samples that a miRNA/smallRNA feature must be considered "expressed" to be included in the final matrix. Default value is "0" or no filtering.


Adding solar is easy (and inexpensive).
Lots of DIY turnkey solar kits on the market.
Check out AMSolar, Zamp, Renogy... they all have kits for RVs.
Lots of youtube instructional videos.
I understand. But the roof is somewhat constrained due to the shape. Looking for the maximum output with the roof.
My 1999 American Cruiser has a solar panel on the roof - not sure of specs.
I have a 1997 American Cruiser on a Ford Chassis, 19 feet, 55K miles. I am seeking any printed info available regarding the on board systems. I am a newbie, and I am having trouble understanding how things work. Would be happy to pay for documentation copies. Previous owner said he had them when I agreed to buy, but could not produce them when I picked the unit up. Begging for help. Thanks!
Yes I installed solar on mine. I have a 100 watt panel in the front and then a 50 watt panel between the two vent fans, that's about all you can get up there. I used the thin flexible panels. I have a Grape Solar charge controller, and I have two 120 amp hour batteries in the battery bay.
American Cruiser RE2000 RV Battery connections?
I have an America Cruiser built in 2000. The batteries for the RV side of things died. I got new ones today, I took a picture of the wiring before I disconnected the old batteries. When I was hooking up the new ones and I found a cable that was not connected to the batteries before. It is the same size as a regular car battery cable. I am not sure where it is supposed to go. But I am guessing that it is supposed to go on the positive side.I really don't want to guess a fry something. Can anyone send me a picture of their battery connections? If you have any kind of wiring diagram that would be really great.
I'll be looking for a new set of tires. Any recommendations?

Safety comes always first - especially in the alpine environment. That's why we put together a couple tips for our guests.
Call for help: cell phone, shout, whistle etc.
Take care of the injured person, make sure the area is safe!
Never leave the injured person!
In case of a storm: avoid exposed and dangerous places (summits, ridges, fixed rope routes etc.) - find shelter!
Emergency calls are not possible without network coverage. Find a better location and regularly try to dial 112 (or use the SOS emergency call function on your cell phone).


In recent years in the fields of electronic circuit design and evaluation, software-based simulations have come into widespread use. There are various reasons for this. For example, in addition to faster operation and faster signals, electronic component miniaturization, surface mounting, and other developments have resulted in an increasing number of cases in which evaluations using traditional breadboards are no longer realistic. However, the most important advantages have probably been the ability to quickly and simply confirm circuit operation and characteristics, so that actual evaluations could be conducted under conditions that are nearly optimal, and the ability to greatly reduce the time and number of processes involved in development, including the number of prototype cycles. In order to support this new trend, electronic component manufacturers now provide component data for use in such simulations, and there are now numerous simulation software packages, called simulators, available for use.
Here, we consider simulations based on SPICE, which is in relatively wide use and is available in a free version, and explain the basics of circuit simulations, including the software installation.
SPICE is one such electronic/electric circuit simulator, initially developed at the University of California at Berkeley in 1973. SPICE is an acronym for Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis. At the time, its major objective was simulation of the operation of analog circuits that used ICs such as op-amps as well as discrete components such as transistors, diodes, resistors, and capacitors.
SPICE was developed up through SPICE3 (1985), and thereafter improvements and functions were added to the SPICE foundation for commercial use. PSPICE, which is well known even today, was the first version of SPICE for commercial use, solid by MicroSim.* It enabled SPICE, which had previously run on mainframes, to be used on personal computers.
*MicroSim merged with OrCAD, and subsequently OrCAD was purchased by Cadence. PSPICE is a part of Cadence's design support tool OrCAD.
The following are the major commercial simulation software packages. In essence, they are all similar in having simulation of circuit operation as their objective, but the GUIs (graphical user interfaces) differ somewhat. Where performance and specifications are concerned, there are further differences in the convergence algorithms, models available for use, upper limits to the number of elements used, and the like, and a given software package may also be available as a free version with some limits imposed.
The above company and product names and the like are generally trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies.
The framework of operation of such simulators is briefly explained.
In general, the diagram of a circuit to be simulated is first input. Such components (models) as transistors, ICs, capacitors, diodes, resistors, and inductors are provided; the components are selected and connected. This can be performed in the same manner as when drawing an ordinary circuit diagram.
When the circuit is completed, simply by clicking on a simulation execution button, the corresponding simulation is performed. In the example of the figure, a circuit diagram is created to "ground the gate of a P-channel MOSFET, apply a voltage of 0 to 10 V in 0.1 V steps to the drain, and monitor the current flowing in the MOSFET at that time"; as a result of the simulation execution, a graph of current values is obtained (the action of the blue arrow on the left).
This is the apparent procedure, but in actuality, the circuit diagram that has been created is converted into a kind of source code, called a netlist, that describes all the information--the components, circuits, simulation conditions, and so on. The simulator uses the netlist to perform circuit calculations, that is, to run the simulation, and outputs data. In this case, current values are stored as numerical values for each 0.1 V increment. Based on this data, a graphing function is used to output a graph (flow of the yellow arrows).
The following is an example of a netlist for a simulator different from the one of the example above, but describing the same circuit information. A detailed explanation will be presented later, but for now, the reader can look at the netlist to get an idea of what it describes.
In the next article, we explain downloading of simulation software in order to try running it.
・Software-based simulations are widely used in the design and evaluation of electronic circuits.
・Through software simulations, simple and quick evaluations become possible, and the time and processes involved in development can be reduced.
・Various simulator packages based on SPICE can be obtained.

Q: inserting multiple records with same value in sql database using php I'm working on a library management system & i want to insert no of records as equal to no of copies specified by user.this code does this but sometimes it adds 1 less entry.
  <?php
    $title=$_POST["title"];
    $authore=$_POST["aut"];
    $doa=$_POST["doa"];
    $cst=$_POST["cst"];
    $noc=$_POST["noc"];
    $tag= implode("," , $_POST["checkbox"]);
    $ses=$_SESSION['session'];
    session_start();
    require_once("../db.php");

    for($i=$noc;$i>0;$i--)
    {
    $bno=$_POST["bno"][$i];
    $qry="insert into addbook(bookno,title,authore,tags,session,status,dateofarrival,customtag,noofcopies)values('$bno','$title','$authore','
    $tag','$ses','0','$doa','$cst','$noc')";
    mysql_query($qry);
    ?>

A: It's adding one less because you specified $i>0,so it will always start from 1 instead do like this:
for($i=$noc;$i>=0;$i--)

A: Just start session before you specifying any session variable...
just check it..
<?php
$title=$_POST["title"];
    $authore=$_POST["aut"];
    $doa=$_POST["doa"];
    $cst=$_POST["cst"];

1. Many are simply not aware of internal optimization's true value.
2. Lack of knowledge on how to use it at its maximum potential.
One of the most important factors that will affect your internal optimization is your use of anchor text links – the visible text that users see, that also links directly to the related page. The reason why anchor text holds so much weight is quite simple – search engines like them and pay close attention to them. Anchor text links should be descriptive and should make good use of keywords and search strings.
As with most SEO tactics, internal optimization is about quality, not quantity. Linking multiple pages to each other just for the sake of having internal links is not a beneficial strategy.
The key is to link words and phrases that are relevant and related to the particular landing page. As a rule of thumb, implementing "Click Here" links on your site is not best practice because it ignores the benefits of anchor text.
If you are just starting out, or if you think your website might be lacking the internal optimization factor, Zelen Communications can help. We will create a robust and successful SEO strategy for you, so that you can feel confident in your site inside and out.


President John F Kennedy was asked who he would like to see portray him in this film about his wartime exploits. He chose Cliff Robertson who duly landed the role. Interestingly, JFK's wife Jackie preferred the up and coming Warren Beatty. The picture is a squeaky-clean portrait of the future president's participation in the war in the Pacific as a PT boat commander. If you are expecting a dose of reality, you will be disappointed. If you think you might enjoy Robertson portraying JFK – you probably will. War was never as 'enjoyable' as this and I really don't know why I like watching Pt 109. Maybe, being a baby-boomer, I simply fell under the Kennedy-Camelot spell. Whatever the reason, this is war in the style of sixties Hollywood; fantasy land, but entertaining enough in its way.
British actor Kenneth More proved to be the perfect choice to play the legless WW2 fighter ace Douglas Bader in this highly entertaining biopic. Richard Burton was supposed to play the lead, but he pulled out to make the lousy Alexander the Great (1956) for around four times the money! Reach for the Sky would become the biggest-grossing movie in the UK since Gone with the Wind (1939), while Burton's film sunk without trace. A major problem with More playing Bader was his age. Bader was 21 years old when he lost his legs and More was 42 when he portrayed him. That aside, the picture has enormous appeal thanks to his performance. Alongside his terrific portrayal of Mr. Lightoller in 1958's A Night to Remember, this is equally the best of his meritorious career.
The men at the top at MGM studios in 1950 managed to mangle John Huston's greatest film, The Red Badge of Courage (1951), and no-one ever bothered to satisfactorily explain why they did it. Huston thought the picture was his best work ever and, for what it is worth, I agree with him. There was a power struggle at the top at MGM between studio chief Louis B. Mayer and chief of production Dore Schary, resulting in Huston's two-hour classic interpretation of Stephen Crane's brilliant novel being chopped down to a 69 minute 'piece' that satisfied no-one. Evidently, the complete absence of women in the film aggravated the life out of either Mayer or Schary. Yet, even so, it is worth a look.
Audie Murphy is so good as the young and naïve Civil War Soldier, one cannot help but wonder if MGM's hatchet job may have robbed him of his one chance at screen immortality. He portrays the central character known simply as 'The Youth', despite being all of 27 at the time the film was shot. Universal had loaned him out to MGM for $25,000. Even the usually languid Audie was impressed by the performance Huston had drawn from him. Columnist Hedda Hopper declared 'Red Badge' the best war film ever made, and she may have been right, had the two-hour copy she watched survived. Huston and Murphy tried to get it back from MGM, intent on releasing the full version themselves, but they were informed that the original no longer existed. What a tragedy.
If you like your war pictures gritty and brutal, Salvador (1986) is right up your alley. The film is based on a true story written by Richard Boyle, a photo-journalist friend of director Oliver Stone. Boyle (played by James Woods) drives to El Salvador at the time of the 1980 military dictatorship and becomes involved in the civil war and the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero. He also forms an uneasy alliance with both guerrillas and government officials, walking a tightrope between the two sides. Director Stone made Salvador in the same year he made Platoon, and both movies were Oscar-nominated. If anything, Salvador contains more 'edge of your seat' tension than the more acclaimed Platoon. It captures the volatile, highly dangerous day to day existence in the Salvador of the eighties.
The story of the exploits of the gunboat USS San Pablo as it patrolled the Yangtze River in the war-torn China of 1926 is not an allegory for the Vietnam War as suggested by several misinformed members of the media. Steve McQueen is superb as a young American sailor aboard the vessel as it sails up the Yangtze to rescue missionaries at China Light Mission. This is a unique movie about a time in Chinese history that was little known to the outside world. It is not a happy film but, nevertheless, a powerful one. My only criticism is its length – a little over three hours duration. It could have been reduced by 30 minutes or so without disruption to the story. McQueen, in my opinion, made four excellent movies during his years before the camera – The Magnificent Seven (1960), The Great Escape (1963), Bullitt (1968) and this one. It might surprise readers to learn that the director of The Sand Pebbles, (Robert Wise), also directed two of the most iconic musicals in cinema history – West Side Story (1961) and The Sound of Music (1965).
John Wayne initially turned down the lead in Sands of Iwo Jima (1949). At 42, he felt (and rightly so) that he was too old to play a sergeant in the US Army of World War Two. He also thought that the American public was probably sick and tired of war films, having been subjected to them for almost a decade. Right again. As it happened, however, after finally agreeing to do the picture, he did a fine enough job in it to land his first ever Academy Award nomination, although he personally felt he should have been nominated for his other 1949 feature, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, instead. Ironically, neither that film nor Red River (1948), nor The Searchers (1956), were considered by the Academy to be worthy of a nomination, yet True Grit (1969), a run-of-the-mill western if there ever was one, not only earned Wayne a nomination, but also enabled him to pick up a statuette. Many WW2 veterans were dismissive of him portraying soldiers of the conflict, given he had never donned a uniform in real life. Actor Hal Baylor, who played the bumbling Private Choynski, must have had mixed feelings as well. In real life he had seen action on Saipan and Tinian with the Marine Corps, yet in Sands of Iwo Jima he found himself being taught how to march and hold a rifle by Wayne's character!


There are a lot of options to help you build a website. Website builders, like Wix, SquareSpace, and Weebly, offer a DIY (do-it-yourself) functionality that allows you to build a website without coding expertise. With website building now easier than ever, a new survey by Clutch, a research and reviews platform for business services, finds that many website builder users are using these DIY tools to create sites for business use.
Out of 307 respondents who built a website using DIY web builders, 42% indicated that their website was built for business purposes such as having an online business presence, increasing online sales, or facilitating e-commerce. 48% say that they built their site for personal use such as for a photo gallery, creative display, portfolio, or a blog.
Clutch's findings illustrate that creating a website is more accessible and popular for individuals and small businesses than it's ever been before. Of those surveyed, 63% say they have an "intermediate" familiarity with website builders, a level that indicates they have set up a website, including advanced features, without assistance.
"Website builders have come a long way from a decade ago when a blogger or personal user would dabble with a website builder just to get their presence online," says Evan Brown, Marketing Manager at Designmantic.com, a web design company. "Today, many of these tools offer features like hosted services, domain registration, search engine optimization capabilities, responsive web design, and e-commerce integration, making it easy for businesses to hop online in no time."
Clutch's survey also found that DIY websites built for business purposes are more complex than any other type, and that individuals who create a website for business are looking to use that site in a more advanced way – by generating interactions and conversions.
For a website to be complex, it must include five or more integrations, according to Clutch's analysis. The most popular web builder integrations are social media (64%), customer reviews (55%), and calendar/scheduling tools (45%).
The data reveals that out of the respondents who built a website for business, 46% integrated five or more tools. Comparatively, only 27% of respondents with a personal website integrated the same amount of tools.
The complexity of business websites may impact the ability of DIY web builders to serve business needs. Although DIY web builders have made the features and integrations they offer more advanced in recent years, these tools still may not be enough for a small business seeking significant online growth.
For SMBs who want to establish a strong online presence for their business, Clutch recommends considering solutions beyond DIY web builders. For example, small businesses may see increased success in generating online leads and conversions by transferring their website to a content management system (CMS), or hiring a design expert.
With these alternative solutions, small businesses will be able to benefit from the guidance of a professional, instilling confidence that they are building custom, flexible, and successful websites that serve their advanced needs.
Clutch also used customer feedback to rate the top 10+ website builders. You can find the full research and reviews here: https://clutch.co/website-builders.
Clutch's 2017 Website Builder Survey included 307 full-time SMB employees and users of DIY website builders. 30% of respondent companies have an annual revenue of less than $1 million. Data was collected throughout December 2016.

May 15th in stamps de Keyser, third law of planetary motion, Pierre Curie
Here are some events that happened on May 15th. It could be an event or a person that died or was born on that day
1565 Born: Hendrick de Keyser, Dutch sculptor and architect born in Utrecht (d. 1621)
Hendrick de Keyser (15 May 1565 – 15 May 1621) was a Dutch sculptor and architect born in Utrecht, Netherlands, who was instrumental in establishing a late Renaissance form of Mannerism in Amsterdam. He was the father of Thomas de Keyser who was an architect and portrait painter.
De Keyser is famous for a number of important buildings which belong to the core of Dutch historic sites. Today the Zuiderkerk (1603-1611) and accompanying tower (1614), the Delft Town Hall (1618-1620), the Westerkerk (1620-1631) and Westertoren (built in 1638 but in a modified version) are among the historic buildings which provide important insights into De Keyser's work. His Commodity Exchange of 1608-1613 was pulled down in the 19th century.
Hendrick de Keyser's projects in Amsterdam during the early decades of the 17th century helped establish a late Mannerist style referred to as "Amsterdam Renaissance". The Amsterdam Renaissance style deviates in many respects from sixteenth-century Italian Renaissance architecture. Classical elements such as pilasters, cornices and frontons were used on a large scale, but mainly as decorative elements. De Keyser never slavishly followed the tenets of classical architecture as laid down in the Italian treatises. His version came to full bloom at the end of the second decade of the 17th century, and set the stage for the later Dutch classical phase of Jacob van Campen and Pieter Post. The East India House in Amsterdam was most likely also designed by him.

1618 – Johannes Kepler confirms his previously rejected discovery of the third law of planetary motion
Kepler's laws of planetary motion are three scientific laws describing the motion of planets around the Sun, published by Johannes Kepler between 1609 and 1619. These improved the heliocentric theory of Nicolaus Copernicus, replacing its circular orbits and epicycles with elliptical trajectories, and explaining how planetary velocities vary. The laws state that:
The orbit of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci.
A line segment joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time.
The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
The elliptical orbits of planets were indicated by calculations of the orbit of Mars. From this, Kepler inferred that other bodies in the Solar System, including those farther away from the Sun, also have elliptical orbits. The second law helps to establish that when a planet is closer to the Sun, it travels faster. The third law expresses that the farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer its orbit, and vice versa.
Johannes Kepler (December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630) was a German astronomer, mathematician, and astrologer. He is a key figure in the 17th-century scientific revolution, best known for his laws of planetary motion, and his books Astronomia nova, Harmonices Mundi, and Epitome Astronomiae Copernicanae. These works also provided one of the foundations for Newton's theory of universal gravitation.
Kepler was a mathematics teacher at a seminary school in Graz, where he became an associate of Prince Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg. Later he became an assistant to the astronomer Tycho Brahe in Prague, and eventually the imperial mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II and his two successors Matthias and Ferdinand II. He also taught mathematics in Linz, and was an adviser to General Wallenstein. Additionally, he did fundamental work in the field of optics, invented an improved version of the refracting (or Keplerian) telescope, and was mentioned in the telescopic discoveries of his contemporary Galileo Galilei. He was a corresponding member of the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome.
Kepler lived in an era when there was no clear distinction between astronomy and astrology, but there was a strong division between astronomy (a branch of mathematics within the liberal arts) and physics (a branch of natural philosophy). Kepler also incorporated religious arguments and reasoning into his work, motivated by the religious conviction and belief that God had created the world according to an intelligible plan that is accessible through the natural light of reason. Kepler described his new astronomy as "celestial physics", as "an excursion into Aristotle's Metaphysics", and as "a supplement to Aristotle's On the Heavens", transforming the ancient tradition of physical cosmology by treating astronomy as part of a universal mathematical physics

1859 Born: Pierre Curie, French physicist and academic, Nobel Prize laureate (d. 1906)
Pierre Curie (15 May 1859 – 19 April 1906) was a French physicist, a pioneer in crystallography, magnetism, piezoelectricity, and radioactivity. In 1903, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics with his wife, Marie Skłodowska-Curie, and Henri Becquerel, "in recognition of the extraordinary services they have rendered by their joint researches on the radiation phenomena discovered by Professor Henri Becquerel".

Mixed or average reviews - based on 13 Critics What's this?
Summary: Originally developed for FX, the first series on the Playstation Network is based on the graphic novel series by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming, where detectives Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Susan Heyward) solve homicide cases that involve superpowers.
Powers gives you the slam-bang super-hero action you want, as well as the hard-boiled tone many cop shows aim for and seldom attain.
Instead of gratuitous thrills, the creatives--also including Remi Aubuchon ("Caprica") and Michael Dinner ("Justified")--emphasize story, with enough twists and turns in each episode to keep the target audience hooked.
It is a refreshing amalgamation of the two genres that creates a fascinating exploration into the world of four-color comics by imagining what it might really be like to live among costumed superheroes and villains.
[The cast] all do their best to provide what every comic-book adaptation needs and so few achieve, which is a little soul, some human substance at the core. Powers shows occasional, fitful signs of that kind of life, though in the long run it may be just too threadbare to get there.
The series is overwrought or obvious at times, and here and there can look surprisingly cheap. But it's generally quite watchable and not uninteresting.
The actors have no chemistry together and their characters lack the kind of depth and texture that a well-crafted TV project would have been able to give them. Various actors frequently have to deliver painful exposition dumps, the storytelling is often incoherent.
The depth of story told in this tv show is fantastic. It starts of slow helping build the characters so you can become emotionally investedThe depth of story told in this tv show is fantastic. It starts of slow helping build the characters so you can become emotionally invested like any real and good book should do. As it does it builds the world around each character and helps you understand their lives and their feelings of what is going on this universe. The gritty attitude of this universe helps cement it as something realistic.
It's no Daredevil but the lead is strong. Same actor from District 9 and Elysium. Its never really his fault when it comes to bad lines thatIt's no Daredevil but the lead is strong. Same actor from District 9 and Elysium. Its never really his fault when it comes to bad lines that he has to say. There are times where you know he improved to fix what his character would say. I'm not a fan of his costar who doesn't really have anything truly appealing about her. She also kills scenes that were meant to be funny. She has a line and seriously wrecks it or has the room fill up with awkwardness while all of the other actors try to smooth it over. So she's gotta be somebody's niece.
When it comes to story they do a good job getting you up to speed in the world we live in. A world filled with people with powers. It's kind of like the Tick but takes itself more seriously. Much like Heroes none of the characters have any real good powers except some of the lesser known characters.
There's a girl throughout that has no real significance that people are taking the time to get to know her. She has no real purpose as she is selected for no good reason other than being cute. People begin to care about her when ultimately she is not a very good person on the inside and is very immature and not important until the script makes her important. She's not a bad actress, it's just that the story doesn't really give her any reason to be in it.
It almost feels like a funny South Park cop episode where the cops are doing the worst investigation work ever and somehow figuring things out. As a matter of fact the cops never actually figure things out on their own. They always have to straight up get the answers out of people in order to find of what truly happened.
As someone who grew up with comic books, love science fiction, videogames, anime and manga. Sitting through an episode of "Powers" wasAs someone who grew up with comic books, love science fiction, videogames, anime and manga. Sitting through an episode of "Powers" was painfully boring.
The setting of the show put us in a world where people with superhuman powers are common and generally accepted. What bug me most is the story about how the world comes to this state would've been a much more interesting setting with much more interesting stories to be told.

Q: Iterate over enum items in Typescript How do I iterate over enum items in TypeScript? I tried for-in, but this iterates over strings. I need to call a function for each enum value.
for (const foo in FooType) {
    // here I have error that string is not assignable to parameter of type FooType
    this.doCalculation(foo)
}

private doCalculation(value: FooType): void {
   // some logic
}

enum FooType looks like this:
export enum SupportedFiat {
  VALUE_A = 'VALUE_A',
  VALUE_B = 'VALUE_B',
  VALUE_C = 'VALUE_C'
}

A: You should be able to accomplish this using for of and Object.values.
for (const value of Object.values(FooType)) {
  // here I have error that string is not assignable to parameter of type FooType
  doCalculation(value)
}

A: enums are translated to this type of object:
"use strict";
var SupportedFiat;
(function (SupportedFiat) {
    SupportedFiat["VALUE_A"] = "VALUE_A";
    SupportedFiat["VALUE_B"] = "VALUE_B";
    SupportedFiat["VALUE_C"] = "VALUE_C";
})(SupportedFiat || (SupportedFiat = {}));

Playground link
unfortunately, Typescript enums don't really implement an iterator for easy iterating so you need to make your own:
function* supportedFiatValues(): IterableIterator<SupportedFiat> {
    yield SupportedFiat.VALUE_A;
    yield SupportedFiat.VALUE_B;
    yield SupportedFiat.VALUE_C;
}

for (const supportedFiat of supportedFiatValues()) {
// ...
}

You could use Object.values() but you'll lose type information there, IMHO the generator approach brings you better type inference.

We want to start by saying thank you! Thank you for the giving of your time and treasure to support our diocese and ultimately our parish and the Catholic values that we hold so dear.
Since the formation of the Diocese of Gaylord in 1971, the Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) has been both an invitation and opportunity to support the programs, services and ministries within our diocese and around the world. Through our collective efforts, the CSA is the primary source of funding for the programs and ministries directed by our bishop, providing support to our parishes as well as most of the special national and international collections typically taken up as second collections in other dioceses.
Our theme for CSA this year "50 Years of Faithful Generosity", speaks to this great journey we are on together; a journey of faith as a local church for 50 years! CSA allows us to reach across parish boundaries, tying us together through a common thread of attending to the needs of our parishes, our parishioners, our diocese and to the people of Northern Lower Michigan and beyond.
Every year, parishes are asked to make a just sacrifice through a CSA target that is determined by both parish count and ordinary income. Any funds received over the parish target are returned to the parish 100% for local needs and good works.
The purpose of the CSA is to help provide the funding necessary to carry out the mission of the Catholic Church—to build our families, our parishes, our diocese and our world into that faith community whose compassionate ministry to humanity embodies and witnesses to God's power. The CSA supports services and ministries, some of which attend to needs that are beyond the scope of any individual parish. Some exist for the sole purpose of assisting parishes in their mission to teach, evangelize and provide good liturgical experiences. It is important that we recognize both aspects of the appeal.
Below you will find additional information about what the appeal supports, the 2021/22 budget, parish promotional materials, a campaign manual, and convenient ways to give. If you have any questions about the Catholic Services Appeal, please contact the Diocese of Gaylord at 989.732.5147.
Thank you for the many ways that you support the Church by embracing a life of discipleship, most specifically, through your gift to the Catholic Services Appeal. May you find the gifts you make, in gratitude for God's abundant blessings, to be a source of great joy.

Making a Gift
Your generosity will make an impact far greater than what you can imagine…but how do you discern what gift to make?
In Mark 12:41-44, Jesus reminds us that it is an act of generosity and worship to the Lord to give what we are able–to give a gift from the heart that is sacrificial for us. While this dollar amount is different for everyone, we are all called to participate in whatever way we can. Every gift matters and makes a lasting difference in the work of our parishes and diocese.
As you prayerfully consider what you and your family can commit to the 50 Years of Faithful Generosity campaign, keep in mind that you could make a one-time gift or a pledge gift to spread your giving throughout the year.
Making a pledge may help you stretch your gift by giving over the course of several months, or length of your choosing. Pledge reminders are sent by the diocese, and these are meant to keep your giving easy to manage. Pledges to the CSA campaign are also flexible—if your situation changes, you can always adjust your pledge by calling the diocesan Finance Office.
To make a gift online, CLICK HERE. Here, you can make a one-time gift or set-up recurring payments. Your parish will be notified of your gift.

USE YOUR PARISH PLEDGE CARD or ENVELOPE
When you receive CSA information in the mail, complete your pledge card and return it to your parish for processing.
Several payment options are available, including cash/check, credit card and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Please make checks payable to "Parish Name – CSA" and return to the parish office.
As you may know, CSA supports the work and mission of our diocese, which includes essential services for our parishioners, our community, and our Catholic Schools. Similar to how your regular offertory supports our Parishes, the gifts we make to CSA support the offices within the Diocese of Gaylord and the many vital ministries and ongoing work accomplished at the pastoral center and throughout our Universal Church.
Shining a Light on CSA: Did you know that CSA supports over 40 programs and services throughout the diocese, all of which touch our parishioners and parish? Here are just a few examples:

We can ensure you get the right steel products to adequately fulfil your requirements.
General exposure to oxygen in the air creates oxide layers (or scales), on the surface of the steel. The steel is dipped into tanks of hydrochloric acid, causing a complex reaction that almost removes this scaling entirely.
Prior to treatment, any surface particles such as dirt, dust, oil, rust, paint, tape or any other residues or substances require removal by alkaline, or other alternate cleaning methods. The primary advantage or purpose of the pickling and oiling conditioning is to reinforce the steel's protective properties, in particular, rust.
When metal is pickled, contaminants and other unwanted elements are removed. These include but are not limited to impurities such as stains and rust. An acidic solution is used to treat the metal, in order to make the steel's surface free from these impurities. More commonly known in the industry, the 'dip' or acid solution is referred to as pickle liquor.
Hot Rolled Pickled And Oiled steel is especially useful for cutting, and punching (piercing).
Hot Rolled Pickled And Oiled steel is used for a wide range of applications, from simple bends to complex draws or structural applications that require a specific strength level. Another advantage of pickling is that it helps mitigate any pre-treatment process.
Hot Rolled, Pickled and Oiled steel is used for a variety of purposes.

The Financing and Growth of Firms in China and India: Evidence from Capital Markets
World Bank Policy Research Working Paper No. 6401

This paper studies the extent to which firms in China and India use capital markets to obtain financing and grow. Using a unique data set on domestic and international capital raising activity and firm performance, it finds that the expansion of financial market activity since the 1990s has been more limited than what the aggregate figures suggest. Relatively few firms raise capital. Even fewer firms capture the bulk of the financing. Moreover, firms that issue equity or bonds are different and behave differently from other publicly listed firms. Among other things, they are typically larger and grow faster. The differences between users and non-users exist before the capital raising activity, are associated with the probability of raising capital, and become more accentuated afterward. The distribution of issuing firms shifts more over time than the distribution of those that do not issue, suggesting little convergence in firm size among listed firms.

Ecolab Inc. has made a binding offer to acquire Laboratoires Anios from co-owners Bertrand and Thierry Letartre and private investment company Ardian. Anios is a leading European manufacturer and marketer of hygiene and disinfection products for the healthcare, food service, and food and beverage processing industries. Based in Lille, France, Anios has a presence in more than 85 countries and employs approximately 700 people worldwide. Sales were approximately €220 million ($245 million) in 2015.
The transaction is structured as a binding offer with exclusivity protection to allow the sellers to consult with their French works councils prior to entering into the definitive purchase agreement.

The transaction is expected to close in late 2016, subject to satisfaction of such contingencies. No other details were announced.
Douglas M. Baker, Jr., Ecolab chairman and chief executive officer, says, "Ecolab is committed to being the global leader in providing hospitals and healthcare operators with effective and innovative solutions for infection prevention and hygiene. We are excited to join forces with Anios because of our shared passion for this mission. Their innovative product line expands the solutions we can offer while also providing a complementary geographic footprint. Its presence in the food and beverage processing and foodservice markets also complements ours. We are pleased that CEO Bertrand Letartre and Managing Director Thierry Letartre have agreed to remain with our combined organization providing continued leadership of the acquired business."
Bertrand Letartre and Thierry Letartre comment, "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to partner with Ecolab. The strength of the Anios brand combined with Ecolab's global footprint and leadership positions will help accelerate the growth of our business. It will also create new and exciting career opportunities for our employees and bring innovative solutions to our customers"

People have been searching for the secret to beating casino gambling for centuries. This quest has led to the creation of many betting systems, including the Martingale, D'Alembert, and Labouchere.
I can say from personal experience that systems aren't going to help you win more at casino games over the long term. But is there an actual secret that does work?
Find out as I cover the one thing you can do to consistently boost your casino gambling winnings. I'll also discuss some other important traits that'll help you win more often.
The truth is that there's magical betting system or one time trick that'll make you a gambling winner.
Instead, the secret to boosting your winnings is simple: repetition.
Repetition in studying gambling strategy and playing casino games is the only way to win on a regular basis.
According to motivational speaker Leo Gura, learning boils down to repetition. And you can use this to win with both basic strategy and advantage play techniques that can earn huge long term profits.
Gura adds, "When you repeat stuff over and over again, yes, you do memorize stuff. But also, you get these deeper interconnections, and your mind starts connecting the dots.
Gura's words can apply to any number of topics where learning helps you succeed. But this is especially important in gambling games where skill is required to win.
Certain games like baccarat, craps, and roulette don't require much thought because all you need to do is make the right bets to win. But other forms of gambling like daily fantasy sports (DFS), blackjack, poker, sports betting, and video poker do require study and skill.
Blackjack is one of the most complex casino games in terms of strategy. You need to master when to hit, stand, double down, and split based on your score and the dealer's upcard.
This is far from easy when considering all the different combinations of hands that you and the dealer can have. But it's made much easier by learning from a blackjack strategy chart.
A strategy chart shows you how to handle every situation based on the dealers upcard and your cards. This is perfect for online blackjack because you can simply to refer to a strategy chart whenever you need help.
But bringing a chart to a land based blackjack table isn't practical. The reason why is because the dealer and other players frown upon anybody who slows the game down by constantly referring to a strategy chart.
This means that you'll need to memorize some or all basic strategy before sitting down to the table. And the only way to do this is by looking over your chart again and again.
You can take things a step further by switching between studying a strategy chart and playing free online blackjack. This allows you to put into practice what you've learned without risking any money.
If you find yourself stumped on a lot of decisions, you can always go back to your chart and read it again.
The key takeaway here is that you need repetition in learning your chart to truly master basic strategy for land based games.
Perhaps you remember a scene from the movie 21 where the card counting team tracks the count by looking at flashcards. This is a perfect example of repetition because the players are training themselves to count cards at a high speed.
Of course, there are better methods of doing this today, including online programs that show you cards and require you to keep a mental count.
But the point is that card counting is one of the biggest gambling games where repetition pays. The more you practice keeping an accurate counts, the more naturally you'll be able to do so when dealing with casino distractions like fellow players chatting and the sights and sounds of the casino.
The best card counters have become so good at keeping an accurate count that they don't even need to think twice about it. This frees them up to practice blending in with the table and not giving themselves away as a counter.
As you may know, DFS involves creating the best possible lineup with a limited salary cap. This makes finding undervalued players one of the biggest skills that you can have as a DFS player.
The average sports fan often thinks that they have a leg up in this department. But the truth is that you need experience with DFS before finding such players on a regular basis.
Another skill you'll need involves studying a specific sports league and its players. This is the only way that you're going to find unheralded players with low salaries who can break out on any given day.
Poker is the biggest game where repetition can separate you from the pack.
Of course, poker strategy starts with learning the basics like table position, bet sizing, identifying opponent's hand ranges, pot odds, and implied odds.But knowing the fundamentals will only get you so far.
Skilled pros reach the position where they are because they've seen the same situations over and over again. And they know how to play these spots better than the average player.
When you grind in the same stakes day after day, you start to learn how the average person playsin these limits. Some online poker pros have become so good at repetition that they can multi table 10 tables or more at a time.
Multi tabling is a perfect example of repetition because you don't have much time to study a single table. Instead, you're relying on experience and the repetition that you've seen beforehand to make the correct plays.
Sports betting revolves around finding the side of the line with the most value and wagering on it. This is much harder than it seems because sportsbooks are so good at setting accurate lines.
The good news is that there are some really helpful software tools available today that will help you compile useful stats.
But how do you use these software programs? And what stats will help you consistently find the undervalued side of the line?
These are only questions that you can answer after spending so much time studying sports betting. You not only need to know how to use the best software tools, but also how to research games and find which sportsbooks offer the best prices.
Video poker calls on players to keep the best cards in any given situation while discarding the rest. This isn't easy because video poker has hundreds of thousands of possible hand combinations.
Two ways to speed up your learning curve involve looking at a video poker strategy chart and using a training program.
A video poker strategy chart ranks hands in terms of importance. You then scan down the chart until finding what cards you should keep.
A video poker trainer teaches you through repetition by pointing out mistakes as you play. The goal is to eventually learn how to properly play every situation through trial and error.
Video poker trainers are especially important when it comes to games that offer positive expected value like full pay Deuces Wild, 10/6 Double Bonus, and 10/7 Double Double Bonus.
The only way that you can find these machines is by visiting vpFREE2.com and searching for them in the "Casinos" section. Even then, you'll notice that +EV games are mainly found in Nevada casinos.
But it's definitely good to play +EV machines when you can because they offer the potential for long term profits. Of course, you can't realize these profits if you haven't spent the proper time on a video poker trainer.
Repetition alone can take you pretty far in casino gambling. But you also need other traits to win more often in skill based games.
I'm going to cover what you should work on in order to become a more successful gambler.
Many gamblers dream of becoming an advantage player who makes big profits through casino games. But some of these same gamblers merely stick to non skilled games like slot machines.
The biggest reason why is because they're afraid of failure. They worry about quickly busting their bankroll on the poker tables, or being thrown out of the casino for counting cards.
While these are valid concerns, they shouldn't stop you if your true goal is to win more money in casino games. This is where courage comes in because sometimes the hardest part is just getting started.
One good way to get over your fear of playing a certain casino game is to remember that you can always improve. If you struggle with a specific concept, you can get better by studying it after your session.
I've harped on about repetition in this post. And dedication is a big part of getting through the repetition so that you eventually learn strategy concepts.
There'll be times where you don't feel like studying a particular strategy subject. But the willingness to fight through this feeling and learn anyways helps you become a better player.
Along with this, you also need the ability to fight through boredom.
Casino gambling isn't fun 100% of the time. But if you're in a +EV situation, then you need to stick it out and keep grinding tomake profits.
Some gamblers have success with a particular strategy or technique and want to stick with it until the end of time. For example, an online poker player who consistently beats $0.05/$0.10 no limit Texas holdem may never move up because they're comfortable.
This is perfectly fine if your only goal is to have fun and win a little money. But if you have aspirations of being something more in gambling, then you need to try new things.
I'm not advocating that you try anything too risky like moving up in DFS stakes before you're ready or putting 50% of your sports betting bankroll into a single wager. But you also can't be afraid to take your shot or try using a different strategy when the time calls for it.
Searching for a quick fix to beating gambling is like looking for the Fountain of Youth – it doesn't exist.
Anything you do with regard to winning at casino games is going to take time. This goes for whether you're learning basic blackjack strategy or trying to become a professional sports bettor.
This means repetition in learning strategy is the key to becoming a consistent winner. The more time you spend on learning the right strategy, the more likely you are to earn more money from gambling.
Of course, there are other factors that will help you play better, including courage, dedication, and the willingness to try new techniques.
In summary, learn what works for the game(s) you like and spend some hours learning how to execute this strategy.
