Krypto Labs hosts Female Leaders Forum
WAM March 20, 2018
ABU DHABI, 19th March, 2018 (WAM) — Krypto Labs, the Abu Dhabi based all-in-one business incubator, accelerator and world-class co-working space for start-ups, welcomed Hafsa Ulama, Ambassador of the UAE to Brazil, Mariam Al Mheiri, Chief Executive Officer of Media Zone Authority-Abu Dhabi and twofour54, Ms. Heather Henyon, Partner in Mindshift Capital, Ms. AlReem Saif, Celebrity Influencer and Entrepreneur and Ms. Elissa Freiha, Co-Founder of WOMENA, along with prominent female Emirati and international role models and influencers, to the Female Leaders Forum under the theme "Empowered and enlightened female entrepreneur of tomorrow". The forum, hosted by Krypto Labs in partnership with Dubai Business Women Council, was held at Krypto Labs headquarters in Masdar City.
Dr. Saleh Al Hashemi, Managing Director of Krypto Labs, said during his welcome speech that 23,000 Emirati businesswomen run projects worth over AED 50 billion, and occupy 15 per cent of the positions in the boards of chambers of commerce and industry nationwide.
Hafsa Ulama gave the opening statement at the forum in which she said: "We ought to think and wonder clearly about the success of women's empowerment efforts and their contribution to the economic, social and political growth and prosperity around the world. In this regard, we stand by the pioneering experience of the United Arab Emirates as it stands as a global model." "We remember the encouragement and support Emirati women received from the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the United Arab Emirates, who honored women and expressed his concern that the success of the nations is linked to the participation of women in all social, economic and political spheres. Emirati women are fully supported and encouraged by H.H. Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, Chairwoman of the General Women's Union, GWU, President of the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood, and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation, FDF, who spares no effort in raising the level of women and enabling them to play their roles as active partners in building the nation through the launch of the National Strategy of Empowerment of Emirati Women 2015-2021."
Mariam Al Mheiri also addressed the challenges faced by women in the business sector, and noted the need to increase the proportion of women in the business and executive sectors. She also noted that female entrepreneurs may face some issues related to access to finance, which would affect the growth of women entrepreneurship. In her speech, Her Excellency Mariam Al Mheiri pointed to the need to enhance the confidence of female entrepreneurs, and provide them with the necessary support, and to shed the light on female role models and form communication and expertise networks amongst women in all economic, social and political sectors."
Ms. Heather Henyon said: "There is no doubt that women in the UAE have come a long way in developing their skills in all fields and sectors. However, and on a more global scale, progress achieved in the empowerment of women has not totally overcome some of the personal and social obstacles that remain prominent and stand in the way of the empowerment of women. Efforts need to be made and programs has to be sharpened to reach a state of full support to women in order for women to elevate not only on the personal level, but also to be more active as enablers in the society as a whole and make full use of the fruits of previous efforts."
The Female Leaders Forum was a perfect opportunity for like-minded Emirati and international female leaders along with Krypto Labs experts and executives to bond and address together the many compliant issues that require consideration. The panel discussion saw numbers of businesswomen and guests taking part in the panel discussion.
Ms. Elissa Freiha said: "From my perspective and my personal entrepreneurial experience, it is much easier for women in the UAE to create their own business than in many countries around the world. There is no doubt that the UAE made a huge leap in empowering women as well as having the amazing advantage of being a young nation with treasures of opportunities for women to fulfill their ambitions."
Ms. AlReem Saif, said: "It is not a secret that we are reaping the fruits of the UAE's unique experience in empowering women and gender balance. The UAE stands as a leader in gender parity and integration of local and international female talents in the region and beyond. By pursuing the digitization of industry, UAE paves the way to greater opportunities for female advancement in the technology, education, media and business industry."

Sadly, our little Pip did not make it. He had a nasty parasite and though we thought that was all, he never started eating again and his tummy started swelling and today I noticed it was worse. I took him back into the vet for the fourth time and they did a quick sonogram and confirmed fluid was all the way up around his heart but most important, he was clearly suffering. I made the decision with the vet that euthanization was necessary right away.
We all our very sad and it was torture to tell my youngest but thanks for all your kind words and support. When you choose to have pets, you receive great joy but also must suffer when you loose them. We have had this twice in one year so we will lick our wounds today and carry on. I am sure another puppy will find its way home with us but probably after the holidays.
Oh, I'm so sorry, Elaine! And poor little Q! She must be devastated.
Am so sorry to hear this.
So sorry to hear this news Elaine. At least you gave the sweet little thing the best care you could and love till the end. You are so right about the pain of loving our furry one's, but the Joy outweighs that I hope.
It's so hard to have to say goodbye...my heart breaks for all of you.
I am so sorry Elaine. It just doesn't seem fair. Hoping that you find the perfect puppy for your family, when the time is right.
We have just lost our two older dogs within the last 2 months. One was 9 and the other 15 and needless to say I know the pain you are feeling. We went to the SPCA and found the perfect furry family member a couple of weeks ago.
I am so very, very sorry. Heartbreaking.
How very sad. You are right. Pets bring us sooo much joy. All of my babies are now away at a university or married now. No grandbabies yet and my little pets bring me joy. They become part of the family even when they come for only a short time. What a precious little one you had.
I'm so sorry. It is so hard to lose a pet, especially for a little child, who doesn't understand why these things happen.
I am so sorry for your loss! I am especially sorry for your sweet little girl. This must be devastating for her! They become part of our family in such a short time. Give your little girl, you and the rest of the family a big hug from me.
Oh dear...I just saw this and I am so sorry. Yes, every time we bring another one into our lives we set ourselves up for heartache someday. It's just usually a lot further down the road. I'm so sorry this didn't have another ending. When I lose one I always console myself with the knowledge that there are many homeless animals looking for forever homes. At some time you might want to consider honoring Pip's memory by saving another one. You'll know when the time is right.
So sorry abut your little Pip!! It IS difficult but you were very responsible!! God bless you and your family!
I'm so sorry you lost Pip. He looked like such a sweetie. I know it's torture to do that, I had to a few weeks ago. But it will get better. A new puppy will not replace him but I think will help you. We've already gotten a new puppy and it has helped us. You will always remember the sweet memories of the one you lost. That will help. Good luck to you and your family.
I am so sorry for all of you, Elaine. So sad about that precious little pup.


To optimise the building process we have developed a set of rules and tools for efficient construction management, which provides benefits to all parties involved. We call it StreamBuild.
Building is a major logistics task, and so we focus on trimming the changeable and complicated processes of construction by operating rolling planning.
We register deviations when they occur and instantly launch the necessary initiatives and follow them up. In this way we ensure that the production maintains an even flow.
To create an overview of the entire production process, we put people and communication at the centre.
A building project involves many people who need to communicate about everything from resources and activities to logistics on the construction site and the weather, to ensure that everyone has the necessary information in order to fulfil the client's expectations.
We have developed specific solutions, tools and principles which support the communication between partners in the building process, to ensure an efficient building process through the right organisation, timely planning, shared coordination, continuous follow-up and final evaluation.

Federal Salaries Jump to $75K
By Anthony Randazzo
A federal budget of $3.4 trillion, a deficit of around $1.85 trillion over the next 10 years, even postage stamps are going up, and this wonderful tidbit from CBS News:
There's little belt-tightening in evidence in Washington, D.C.: Counting benefits, the average pay per federal worker will leap from $72,800 in 2008 to $75,419 next year.
So presumably, part of that huge budget will go towards paying federal workers more. And according to FederalJobs.net, Uncle Sam employs 2.7 million workers. So if my logic (and math) works right, then businesses–that employ people to create wealth for society–and individuals–who buy products, save money that banks can lend, and are the reason for having a country–are being taxed roughly $6.8 billion to increase the pay of bureaucrats.
Sure, that's just $22 bucks a person. Sure, cost of living adjustments are normal. Sure its just a 4% bump. But a brief query: at a time when spending is out of control, Americans are having to take pay cuts to keep their jobs, unemployment is on the rise, and private bonuses of $165 million cause conniption fits… the government is raising the pay of its workers? Why doesn't government feel the need to trim its expenditures like every other American family?
In other terms, $6.8 billion given to businesses at tax cuts could in theory create 136,000 jobs with compensation of $50,000. Or an infinite number of other scenarios. The point being, there are much larger positive effects from our money than using it to bump federal salaries.

US President-elect Donald Trump meets top Indian-American real estate executive The United States President-elect Donald Trump has met a top Indian-American real estate executive, Sandeep Mathrani.
The United States President-elect Donald Trump has met a top Indian-American real estate executive, Sandeep Mathrani at the Trump Towers in New York amid reports of him joining the new administration.
The presidential transition team did not issue a readout of the meeting Trump had with Mathrani, the chief executive officer of General Growth Properties, except for announcing the scheduled meeting. Local media reports speculated that Mathrani could join Trump administration.
According to Chicago Business, Mathrani from Chicago, the hometown of outgoing President Barack Obama, earned $39.2 million last year, more than any other CEO of American real estate investment trust.
The 54 year old real estate executive joined General Growth in 2011. The General Growth is the second-biggest mall owner in the country with a market capitalization of nearly $23 billion.


Out of curiosity, what does "config_enabled = 0", in your android.cfg, means?
Hm. It means that the contents of the config will be ignored, except for translation. I have no idea why such option is there. The Android library code may hold an answer.
That's pretty incredible, setting that flag to 1 fixed the issue! I'd have never seen that I'd it hadn't been pointed out. Thankyou all so, so much!!
@The creature, could you experiment a little more and find out which location exactly does it read the config from?
Sure, I'll do some more tests and see where the config files need to exactly be.
With the config_enabled set to '1' it seems to use the settings defined by me. So I have no other directories in my obb. This couldn't have been possible without any of your help and especially your patience - especially Enrico and his original 'Let's Build an android release' post. This was amazing. I found I did have to rebuild the ags libs as there seemed to be an issue with them, but once that was done things started working fine. For those looking at doing this, you will need to sign up over on the google play console and pay the fee to set up a new app pretty early on.
I've never released anything to mobile, so it will be an interesting test for sure. Thank you again, if you need any more help though, I'll see what I can do.
Has anyone figured out a way to open a keyboard on Amazon Fire HD 10 (or any Android device for that matter)? It is impossible to play Sierra style adventure games without being able to use the save function. Why is it not possible to put a small button on the upper left corner of the screen (as in ScummVM) that when pressed opens a keyboard?
There is no one around who would know how to program for Android and be willing to help.
Right now I am very busy with something, after that is complete I will buy a real Android device because emulator works a little different, and see if I am able to fix anything here.
Is the AGS Android port used in any commercial games?
If anyone's interested, I've found a workaround. Install an app called "Hacker's Keyboard" and pin it to the notification area (from the app settings). Then just swipe down the notification area and open the keyboard whenever you need it.
I finally was able to actually look and test buttons on real Android device (yep, I now have one...).
Here long press on "Back" button no longer displays exit confirmation, but instead displays in-game menu, which also has an option to display on-screen keyboard.
Since I now have real device it became more obvious to me why all this was necessary, and which problems Android users face. It's really a shame and pity that this issue was not addressed earlier.
The change will probably be included into upcoming version, as well as one extra 3.4.1 patch I was preparing.
I wish you can or others integrate Android port to AGS. It's the only reason that I don't make a game with AGS till now. In our country, (Iran) we haven't a desktop ports market. Only mobile.
I wish you can or others integrate Android port to AGS.
Sorry, I wish I could, but I cannot give any promises now. Definitely I won't be able to do that before final AGS 3.5.0 version is out because all my free time is taken.
Like said before, it's all possible, just may require some manual work with Android Studio.
@Mehrdad I added the Android Studio Project here!
Awesome!!. Thanks a lot, @eriOo. Your guides are great and amazing. Please let me try and there was any question let you know.
Great!!!!. It works perfectly for me. Thanks a lot. I made an apk for "Black morph" game.
I'm waiting for your video tutorials. I hope for fix sound noise too.
Make sure you have write permissions, and also check the disk's free space.
I checked the app's permissions in app settings, and AGS is approved for everything it asks for. Also, there are gigabytes of extra space on my SD cards, so I don't think that the error message is being very helpful. The games still work when loaded from internal memory, but I'm running low on internal storage so it would be useful to load games from my SD card. Is there anything I can or should do?
Out of curiosity, from where did you install an AGS app?


Elvis Presley's Palm Springs honeymoon retreat is about to return to the market with its price reduced by a quarter.
Fresh real estate gossip: Elvis Presley's Palm Springs honeymoon retreat is about to get a fresh listing, according to a Friday Facebook post from listing agent Eric Meeks.
Meeks told The Desert Sun that he will release more information about the property next week.
The 5,000-square-foot house was designed by William Krisel and built in 1960. It features an octagonal master bedroom, private pool and dozens of pieces of Elvis memorabilia.
Presley leased the house for $21,000 for about a year beginning in 1966, and he and his wife Priscilla honeymooned there after their 1967 Las Vegas wedding.
Weekend events have celebrated the couple's May anniversary with tours and tribute concerts for the last two years.

7 ways to experience New Mexico like a celebrity
Travel New Mexico, United States
Zoe Baillargeon
Celebrities lead pretty enviable lives. Constant parties, trips all over the world, red-carpet galas in the latest fashions, private spa retreats…who wouldn't want to live like that, at least for a while?
Riiiight. Few of us have celebrity-sized budgets, and photo shoots and galas tend to interrupt our 9-5. But there's still a way we can taste that jet-setting, glamorous lifestyle: by getting to New Mexico. The state's long been a favorite haunt of celebrities for its art, unique culture, and wild landscapes, while the film industry has turned the Land of Enchantment into the next Hollywood (aka Tamalewood). Here are just a few ways you can be a part of it all.
Celebrity sighting #1: Brad Pitt at White Sands
Photo: zschnepf/Shutterstock
Google "Brad Pitt White Sands Photoshoot," and let the recreation commence. One of the first results will show you that he visited the area wearing a sweater and pants, which — guess what? — you totally have in your closet, too. Watch out, GQ.
Frolicking (and apparently shoulder stands) complete, know that White Sands National Monument is way more than just a photo shoot location for film stars (Kendall Jenner, Solange Knowles…the list goes on!). Sixteen miles from the city of Alamogordo, in southern New Mexico, White Sands is exactly what it sounds like: 275 square miles of undulating dunes of pure white, white-white sand. Composed of gypsum crystals, the dune field is the biggest of its kind in the world, and it's also a great spot for hiking, camping, and most definitely dune sledding. It's also really popular with photographers and Instagrammers, because day or night, rain or shine, these lunar-like dunes are truly a sight to behold.
Celebrity sighting #2: Hugh Jackman at Sandia Crest
New Mexico is Wolverine-approved. While filming in Albuquerque, Hugh Jackman decided to do as the locals do, taking in the desert and city views from the top of Sandia Crest. It's a ridge running along the top of the Sandia Mountains at an altitude of more than 10,000 feet, looming over the city. Yeah, the views are pretty decent.
To get there, take the 2.7-mile Sandia Peak Tram up the side of the mountain to the crest, where you can look out over Albuquerque and into the Rio Grande Valley. The area is also rife with hiking trails, like the popular La Luz Trail, and the 26-mile Crest Trail that runs along the top of the mountains. Technically, you can also get there via road, which has become a favorite of motorcyclists and the convertible-owning. And when the snow hits, get ready — the Sandia Mountains also have a ski center (and restaurant and gift shop).
Celebrity sighting #3: Tavi Gevinson at Tent Rocks
If you need a break from gallivanting around Santa Fe, one go-to trip is to Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument, à la writer/editor/blogger Tavi Gevinson. (If you don't know her, all you need to know is that she became famous in the fashion world at age 12. Twelve.) The monument's located about 40 miles from the capital city, meaning you go from urban hotspot to the wild outdoors in what feels like no time at all.
"Tent Rocks" gets its name from the red-and-white-striped volcanic rocks that have — thanks to time and erosion — formed into towering, sci-fi-esque cones that pierce the desert sky. The best way to see these formations is by following the Canyon Trail, winding through a narrow gap in the rocks and eventually cresting an elevated mesa. Here you'll overlook just about everything.
Celebrity sighting #4: George R. R. Martin at the Jean Cocteau Cinema
Game of Thrones fans may be annoyed at the fantasy author's time-consuming side projects (he's still writing, don't worry!), but Santa Feans sure are pleased at the time and attention that Martin has paid to lovingly restoring the Jean Cocteau Cinema, a classic 132-seater in downtown Santa Fe. It was first opened in 1976, but closed in 2006. Martin snatched up this treasure and reopened it in 2013, expanding its artistic offerings and jazzing it up with a digital projector, better movie snacks (even celebrities need good snacking options), and a bar.
Now, the theater has screenings of everything from obscure arthouse films to cult favorites, readings and signings by writers both local and international (come back soon, Neil Gaiman!), art exhibits, performances, and the weekly game night or occasional free Game of Thrones screening. It's also a great jumping-off point for exploring the refurbished Railyard area with its parks and markets, art galleries like SITE Santa Fe, bars and restaurants, and historic plaza.
Celebrity sighting #5: Simon Pegg in Madrid, New Mexico
Madrid is a quirky, fun, offbeat kind of town — just like actor and writer Simon Pegg, who saw it firsthand when the 2011 movie Paul featured its Mine Shaft Tavern bar. Not far from Santa Fe along the Highway 14 Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway, Madrid (pronounced MAD-rid, not like Madrid, Spain) used to be a coal mining town, but it's now an artist community frequently used as a filming location. Places like the Mine Shaft Tavern and the Old Coal Town Museum still offer a glimpse into the town's history, giving it a movie-set feel.
The best way to get to know this tiny community is by strolling down the main drag (still Hwy 14, because that's how small we're talking). Pop into a few historic buildings, galleries, and cafes, and definitely grab a drink from Jezebel Soda Fountain, the real deal dating back to the 1920s.
Celebrity sighting #6: Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the Santa Fe Opera

The only person who could make a night at the opera even classier is Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The Santa Fe Opera, open only during the summer months because of its sweeping, open-air design that looks out on the O'Keeffe-esque mountains and plains of central New Mexico, is the cultural event of Santa Fe's summer season. SFO puts on five operas each year, usually an eclectic mix of established classics — like Bizet's Carmen or anything by Mozart — alongside brand new pieces like last year's The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs. English and Spanish subtitles are on your seatback, because SFO is 21st-century, too.
Before the show, you can take in the sunset on the outdoor terraces while sipping champagne, or do as the locals and have a fancy tailgate in the parking lot with drinks and hors d'oeuvres, while dressed to the nines in an evening gown and opera gloves. Or, if you're lucky, judicial robes.
Celebrity sighting #7: The Obamas at Carlsbad Caverns
We know the Obamas have a penchant for jealousy-inducing tropical island vacations, but they also use their family time to explore America's national parks, like their 2016 trip to Carlsbad Caverns. Located less than two hours from the alien-centric town of Roswell in southern New Mexico, the park contains a system of 119 limestone caves that started forming millions of years ago when this part of New Mexico was an inland sea. Three of the multi-roomed caves are open to the public, with most visitors opting for a tour of the namesake Carlsbad Cavern.
The main attraction is the Big Room, a massive chamber nearly 4,000 feet long and 255 feet high, filled with columns, stalactites, stalagmites, and other formations. It's accessible by following the main walkway that leads into the mouth of the cave. Carlsbad is also home to a large bat colony, which you can watch leave the cavern in a giant swarm at sunset. Thanks for the travel recommendation, Obama.

Wildlife Policies in South Africa
Author: DidiWamukoya Published Date: 17th September 2018 5 Comments on Wildlife Policies in South Africa
South Africa's wildlife conservation is guided by a number of policies and strategies including the White Paper on the Conservation and Sustainable Use of South Africa's Biological Diversity of 1997, the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan of 2005, the National Biodiversity Framework of 2008 and the National Protected Area Expansion Strategy also of 2008, among others.
The Environmental Management Policy for South Africa is an overarching framework policy to guide conservation and management of the environment in the country. The main goal of the policy is sustainable development. The seven strategic goals of the policy are effective institutional frameworks and legislation, sustainable resource use and impact management, holistic and integrated planning and management, participation and partnerships in environmental governance, empowerment and environmental education, information management for sustainable development and international cooperation.
The White Paper on Conservation and Sustainable Use of South Africa's Biological Diversity (Biodiversity Policy) is the main policy dealing with wildlife conservation. The Policy was adopted in 1997 to provide the context within which to achieve the three objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in South Arica. The objectives of the CBD are the conservation of biological diversity, the sustainable use of biological resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of genetic resources.
The Biodiversity Policy intends to achieve these objectives through six goals. These are conserving South Africa's biodiversity, using biological resources sustainably and minimising adverse impacts on biodiversity, ensuring that benefits derived from the use and development of South Africa's genetic resources serve national interests, expanding the human capacity to conserve biodiversity, managing its use and addressing factors threatening it, creating and implementing conditions and incentives that support the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and promoting the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity at the international level.
The Policy is to be implemented by a variety of agencies, from national through to provincial and local level. This means that cooperative governance within national, provincial, and local spheres is necessary. Cross-sectoral cooperation within each sphere of government will also be crucial, given that biodiversity issues are of relevance to virtually every government institution.
For purpose of its implementation, the policy identified gaps within existing legislation as being lack of an integrated and holistic approach to biodiversity and new approaches to biodiversity conservation in the CBD which have yet to be uniformly reflected by South African legislation. Another major gap is the general lack of attention given to biodiversity outside of Protected Areas and specifically to landscapes and ecosystems outside protected areas. To close these gaps, the Biodiversity Policy adopts an approach which is holistic and integrated, requiring the adoption of legal measures to ensure the protection of identified species, ecosystems and habitat types outside of protected areas.
The priority actions under the Biodiversity Policy include the drafting of an action plan through which detailed implementation strategies can be developed. This action plan will form an essential component of the National Environmental Strategic Action Plan .
South Africa's National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan was formulated and adopted in 2005 to set out a framework and a plan of action for the conservation and sustainable use of the country's biological diversity and the equitable sharing of benefits derived from this use. The goal of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan is to conserve and manage terrestrial and aquatic biodiversity in order to ensure sustainable and equitable benefits to the people of South Africa, now and in the future.
In support of this goal, five key strategic objectives have been identified, each with a number of outcomes and activities. The objectives are, to have in place an enabling policy and legislative framework which integrates biodiversity management objectives into the economy, to enhance institutional effectiveness and efficiency for good governance in the biodiversity sector, to have integrated terrestrial and aquatic management which minimises the impacts of threatening processes on biodiversity, enhances ecosystem services and improves social and economic security, to ensure human development and well-being is enhanced through sustainable use of biological resources and equitable sharing of the benefits and to create a network of conservation areas that conserve a representative sample of biodiversity and maintain key ecological processes across the landscape and seascape.
The National Biodiversity Framework was adopted in 2009 to provide a framework to co-ordinate and align the efforts of the many organisations and individuals involved in conserving and managing South Africa's biodiversity, in support of sustainable development. It is a short to medium-term tool whose aim is not to be comprehensive, but rather to focus collective attention and effort on the set of activities that will make the most difference. The National Biodiversity Framework is a requirement of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act and aims to focus attention on the most urgent strategies and actions required for conserving and managing South Africa's biodiversity. It points to roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders, including key organs of state whose mandates impact directly on biodiversity conservation and management.
The National Biodiversity Framework draws out the immediate priorities for the next five years within each of the strategic objectives of the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan. 33 priority actions have been identified. The implementation of these priority actions is the joint responsibility of a range of lead agents and supporting partners, with the Department of Environmental Affairs and the South African National Biodiversity Institute playing a co-ordinating role in addition to implementing specific Priority Actions. The intended users of the National Biodiversity Framework include state organs, government led programmes, NGOs and the private sector.

How to Play Online Lottery Games
KELUARAN HK it comes to playing online lotteries, you have many options. Many states offer daily lottery games. These are very popular and offer a smaller jackpot. You can choose to play one or multiple daily games, or choose to make a box selection. If you match all five numbers in the box, you win!
Legality of online lotteries in the United States
There is much debate surrounding the legality of online lottery sales in the United States. The Wire Act, which prohibits interstate sales of wire communications, has long been interpreted as not applying to online lottery sales. However, the ruling has not prevented states from conducting online data singapore sales, and online lotteries are currently available in several jurisdictions.
The Mega Millions lottery is played in 43 states and the District of Columbia. It is also offered in the US Virgin Islands. The jackpot of Powerball, which is a lot like Mega Millions, routinely reaches more than one hundred million dollars. Recently, the jackpot reached over $1.6 billion. However, the legality of online lottery sales varies by state, and the official lottery position is to stick to your state's official lottery.
Types of games offered
There are a variety of different types of games offered by online lottery sites. Some offer draw games and others are instant win. Some also offer bonuses to new customers. While traditional lottery games are still popular in many countries, online lottery sites make playing easier. Let's take a closer look at each type of lottery game and its advantages.
Powerball is a popular game that's been around since 1992. Players have a high chance of winning the jackpot, but they'll need to match five white balls with a sixth red ball. Powerball draws occur two times a week. The five white balls are drawn from a drum containing 59 balls, while the red ball is drawn from a separate drum.
Age limit for playing
The age limit to play online lottery games is 18. You must be at least 18 years old to participate in the games. Also, you must have an Illinois address in order to register. Also, you must be at least 18 to purchase lottery tickets. This is a very important rule. It will keep you safe when playing lottery games online.
Some states have a lower age limit than others. In Nevada, for example, the lottery is not allowed for people younger than 18. This is because the state's constitution bans all forms of gambling, including online lottery games. While many states have minimum age requirements to play lottery games, there are no age limits for pull-tabs.

What to Expect When You Play the Lottery
Whether you are a seasoned player or a newbie, you should know what to expect when you play the pengeluaran hk. Lotteries are a popular form of gambling that generates revenue for the state and awards prizes based on how many numbers a player selects. Despite its popularity, lottery sales have dipped in some states in recent years, with Delaware reporting the sharpest decline at 6.8%. Despite the overall drop in lottery sales, four jurisdictions saw increases: Puerto Rico, Florida, West Virginia, and Missouri.
Many people enjoy playing the lotto, but many also think of lotteries as a form of gambling. While lotteries are not strictly gambling, some governments do ban them or regulate them in some way. The most common regulation is that tickets may not be sold to minors. Additionally, vendors must be licensed to sell lottery tickets. At the start of the 20th century, most forms of gambling were prohibited in the U.S. and most of Europe. In the post-World War II era, many countries banned gambling in general.
They raise money for states
Lotteries are considered to be an important way for states to supplement their budgets. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, lottery revenue brings in over $18 billion annually in state taxes, which are a vital part of public policy. But critics question whether or not this money is spent wisely. In fact, critics say that while the lottery is a great way for states to fund educational programs, it is also a source of problem gambling.
They are popular in low-income communities
People in low-income communities are more likely to play lotteries than the average population. In Haiti, for example, 78% of the population lives on less than $2 a day. The lack of basic resources and infrastructure means that daily life is challenging, and people often feel hopeless. In such situations, lotteries become a way out. Sadly, these games are not without their negative effects.
They are regulated by state governments
States are the only entities with the authority to regulate lotteries. The Constitution grants states the power to regulate gambling and prohibit immoral activities, and lottery regulation is a key component of that authority. However, a lottery's regulation is still largely at the discretion of the state that regulates it. Therefore, the state must consider the interests of its citizens when regulating a lottery. In many states, lotteries are regulated by state governments and are subject to a number of federal and state laws.
They help fund merit-based aid programs
One of the best ways to make college more affordable for low-income students is to reinstate the trust fund that funds the lottery scholarships. This would ensure that the scholarship is based on financial need and would be more likely to be awarded to students from low-income families. New Mexico could also take other policy measures to make college more affordable for low-income students. For example, the state could offer scholarships to youth who have aged out of the foster care system and set up a "Pay it Forward" program.

"A lot of people have a lot of misconceptions about homeless people. And a lot of people hear about it and they have this picture in their mind, but they don't really think about it. And they don't really want to get involved in it until it affects someone in their family or one of their friends. Then it becomes real. Until it becomes personal, it can't become real to them. But there's a lot of us out there who made homeless the struggle… we made it our identity. Living on the street. Not trusting anyone. Being self-reliant. There's a lot of pride in that."

Pastor Rocke heads the Lake Independence Baptist Church and is a member of the Belize Association of Evangelical Churches, which suffered a big split around the time of the November general election. Rocke had reached accommodation with the National Evangelical Association of Belize which saw its majority of pastors tossed out. But today, Wade says Rocke and his boss Pastor Howell Longsworth may have been compromised all along.

We introduce a fast numerical method for the evaluation of the effective elastic energy in martensitic polycrystals in two and three dimensions. The overall complexity of the method is O(N) operations, where N is the number of component crystallites. Upper and lower bounds on the energy are also presented which allow us to estimate the accuracy of the numerical results. Our new three-dimensional computations and bounds for random polycrystals, which are the first ones available in the literature, provide substantial insights on the behavior of polycrystalline martensites. They suggest that recoverable strains can be much larger than those attainable with zero energy.

This weeks topic will deal with keeping your children safe from the unthinkable-sexual abuse-and what signs to watch for to identify potential predators. Speaker Darleine Arce will teach us "How to spot a predator." We realize this topic is quite sensitive and may be especially difficult for some more than others. For this reason, we will have a list of counseling resources on hand if anyone should need them. Also, Katie Morgan will be displaying a series of books called Safe Hearts. Each book in this series offers a unique and child-friendly way to talk to your children about keeping themselves safe. There is no pressure to buy; we just wanted to let you know this resource will also be available at this meeting. Our craft this week will be putting together a coloring book to use with our children that also covers the important topic of safety. We should all leave well-equipped to keep our sweet babies as safe as possible.
we will also be collecting baby shower gift items for the Georgia Baptist Children's Home teen mom residents. This will be our last community outreach collection for the year, so let's be generous!
Everyone enjoy your week and we look forward to seeing those smiling faces on Friday!

Antitrust Alert: California Court Strengthens Exception to Direct Purchaser Standing Requirement
January 2014 Alerts
The federal antitrust laws do not allow the "indirect" purchaser of a product that was subject to price fixing to recover damages for the product's higher price; only "direct" purchasers have standing to sue for damages. But courts continue to wrestle with the question of just when a purchase is sufficiently indirect to deny standing to the purchaser.
Last week a California federal judge dismissed two class action lawsuits alleging Japanese and South Korean manufacturers conspired to fix the prices of lithium ion battery cells. However, the court unequivocally rejected the defendants' attack on the standing of certain class members whose purchases arguably were "indirect." The court held that, when a corporation sells price-fixed components to a sister entity that incorporates those components into end-user products, the purchasers of the end-user products still have standing to sue as direct purchasers. This decision follows in a line of cases that have expanded the class size, and liability, companies face in federal treble-damages antitrust suits.
Current law on direct purchaser standing
The question for the court was whether plaintiffs had standing to seek damages under federal antitrust laws as direct purchasers of the products subject to alleged price fixing. Direct purchasers buy an allegedly price-fixed product directly from the defendant company. Of course, many companies do not sell directly to the ultimate consumer. A company may resell a finished product through a wholesaler, or the product may be used as a component in a larger product. In those situations, the ultimate consumer generally is considered an indirect purchaser. The distinction between direct and indirect purchasers is important; under the Supreme Court's Illinois Brick decision, only direct purchasers of price-fixed products have standing to bring a private antitrust damages action. (The antitrust laws of many states allow both direct and indirect purchasers to sue.)
Nevertheless, federal courts have recognized three exceptions in which an indirect purchaser has standing under federal antitrust law:
the indirect purchaser has a preexisting cost-plus contract with direct purchaser;
there was price-fixing between the manufacturer and the middleman; and
customers of a direct purchaser own or control the direct purchaser, or a conspiring seller owns or controls the direct purchaser.
Courts have justified the third exception, the "ownership or control" exception, on the basis that a conspiring parent corporation would not allow its direct purchaser subsidiary to bring a price-fixing suit against the parent. Without allowing a purchaser further downstream to have standing, the antitrust violation would go unremedied.
Applying the "ownership or control" exception
In the lithium ion battery cells case, the defendant manufacturers argued that the plaintiffs should be considered indirect purchasers, because they had not purchased battery cells, only completed batteries containing the battery cells. The exception is available only to direct purchasers of the actual price-fixed product (in this case, the battery cells) because only the direct purchasers necessarily paid a passed-through overcharge. Defendants argued that, where the product has been transformed into a larger finished product (here, batteries), the purchaser lacks standing because the full overcharge was not necessarily passed on to the indirect purchaser.
The plaintiffs argued they had standing, because the defendants owned or controlled the direct purchasers of the battery cells, which in turn made finished batteries.
The court agreed with the plaintiffs' argument. The rationale behind the "ownership or control" exception is that, where the direct purchaser is a subsidiary of the price-fixing parent corporation, the overcharge is not likely to be recovered by the victim of the price fixing. A direct purchaser subsidiary is unlikely to bring a lawsuit for damages against its price-fixing parent. This argument applies equally to already-finished products and to complex finished goods (like batteries). Therefore, the court held, in this situation the purchasers of the batteries containing the battery cells have standing.
Nevertheless, the court ruled that, based on the plaintiffs' complaint, they lacked standing. The court acknowledged that, although the defendants sold their battery cells through their own subsidiaries, they also sold through third-party "packers," which assemble battery cells and other components into finished batteries. The defendants did not have "control" over the packers simply because the packers depended on the defendants for the supply of battery cells. As the plaintiffs had not specified whether they bought batteries from packers or from defendants' subsidiaries, the court could not conclude whether the plaintiffs were entitled to take advantage of the ownership or control exception applied. The court gave the plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint to address this issue.
Manufacturers should be aware of the exceptions to the direct purchaser standing requirements for federal damages actions. A company ultimately may be liable to consumers who did not purchase allegedly price-fixed products directly from the company itself. Companies also should realize that the ownership or control exception is not limited to parent-subsidiary relationships. Courts will consider various factors to determine whether an accused conspirator has control over a direct purchaser, including the ability of accused conspirator to set prices or to control the board of the direct purchaser, interlocking directorates, minority stock ownership, loan agreements that subject the wholesalers to the manufacturers operating control, trust agreements, or other modes of control separate from a majority ownership share of wholesalers' stock.
This court declined to limit the "ownership and control" exception to indirect purchasers of only the price-fixed product itself. Such a ruling would have prevented consumers from suing a manufacturer if the product had been modified or incorporated into another good by the middleman. This interpretation would not have been surprising, as other courts have limited indirect purchaser standing exceptions in that way. Instead, this court made available the "ownership and control" exception to any consumer who purchased a good that contained the allegedly priced-fixed product. This could exponentially expand the potential class size, and liability companies face in a federal treble-damages antitrust suit, as in cases like In re LCD (Flat Panel) Antitrust Litigation, and is likely to continue to be an issue of contention until addressed by the Supreme Court.

Not much can be said about a gift certificate as it either works or it does not. In this case, it probably does work, but I discovered later that the expiry date was the same as the date I bought it. I have been assured that it will be honoured in spite of this, but as it was gift, it was a bit embarrassing.
Convenient as a gift as I can choose exactly what I like.
A great way to give a gift for Art materials as it allows recipient to select items to suit their own needs. Also note that gift certificates do not have a time limit.

At the age of four, my now nine-year-old son was diagnosed with autism. When he was being evaluated for weeks at a time at UCLA, my sense of loss and longing led me to write this poem.
The cat keeps asking when you will be back and the skies seem a little more gray.
But my back is against the wall.
And my love for you that will forever stay.
I have to move on through all the strife, discouragement, and fears.
Happy and here to stay.

Yellow-billed cuckoos live in cottonwood and willow riparian and other woodland habitats and prefer dense under-stories in Nevada.
The breeding range extends from southern Canada south to Mexico. The birds winter further south to Argentina. Yellow-billed cuckoos have been found mainly in the western and southern portions of Nevada.
The yellow-billed cuckoo is a diurnal, migratory bird. It is difficult to view yellow-billed cuckoos in the wild due to their generally secretive behavior.
Yellow-billed cuckoos eat mainly large invertebrates including grasshoppers, caterpillars, cicadas, and other insects. Small frogs and lizards, bird eggs, seeds, and fruits are also sometimes eaten. The cuckoos generally glean from tree parts or catch food in the air.
Breeding occurs in spring or early summer when food is abundant. The nest is usually well hidden in a tree or shrub at about 3 to 20 feet above ground. 1 to 5 eggs are laid and incubated for 9 to 11 days by both parents (mainly the male at night). The young are cared for by both parents and fledge in about 7 to 9 days. Two and occasionally three clutches may be laid in years with abundant prey.
Yellow-billed cuckoos are very rare in Nevada. They are a candidate species for listing as "endangered" under the federal endangered species act. Also, the yellow-billed cuckoo receives federal and state protection under the migratory bird treaty act.
Numbers of yellow-billed cuckoos are declining in western North America due to loss, degradation, and fragmentation of riparian habitat, drought, predation, pesticide accumulation and impacts on prey, and deforestation in their tropical winter habitat.
Preservation, restoration and expansion of riparian habitat supporting large cottonwood and willow trees are essential to the conservation of yellow-billed cuckoos. Biologists are working with landowners regarding land management practices that impact yellow-billed cuckoo habitat, as much of this habitat in Nevada is found on private land. Breeding season surveys are being conducted by the Nevada department of wildlife yearly to determine distribution and abundance of yellow-billed cuckoos in southern Nevada. Further surveys are needed in other areas of Nevada, in particular, western Nevada.
Yellow-billed cuckoos are unique in that they have zygodactyl feet, two toes facing forward and two toes backward.


Former South Bay congressman and state finance director Tom Campbell announced Thursday (Jan. 14) that he is pulling out of the California governor's race and will instead run for U.S. Senate.
Campbell made the announcement by way of an e-mail and video he sent to his supporters this morning.
"I initially made the decision to run for governor because I believe that my level of record of public service, especially on the state budget, and my willingness to present specific, pragmatic solutions to our most pressing problems would enable me to help chart a better course for our state," Campbell said.
"Today, I remain firmly committed on that path with an announcement that I'll be running for the U.S. Senate instead," he said.
Campbell will be vying for the seat of Sen. Barbara Boxer.

Some men go missing after being attacked by something supernatural under the town. Abbie and Ichabod are on the case but so is Calvin Riggs, a journalist whose brother is one of the men that went missing. Ichabod and Abbie find scratch marks and symbols of witchcraft. Ichabod determines that Thomas Jefferson developed what they're looking at and Abbie finds one of the mens' cellphones that has footage on it of a mysterious creature that took them captive.
Ichabod and Thomas Jefferson had a falling out of sorts. Ichabod seems slighted by it, feeling jilted and to this day it remains a mystery to him. Abbie uses Grace Dixon's journal to read about how Jefferson and some other old historical figures conjured something evil to guard the Fenestela, an ancient mystical artefact.
Ichabod and Abbie must fight off some evil creatures and Calvin Riggs shows up, camera in hand trying to snap photos of what's going on but isn't able to get anything. The creatures are Reapers and they have been feeding on the men that stumbled across and woke them. Abbie decides they should use Calvin Riggs' help, particularly after he threatens to call in the military reinforcements.
Jenny is suspicious of Frank after seeing a strange marking on his arm but doesn't let on until she can learn what he's up to. Frank's marking is that of the Hell Fire Club, the same organisation that raised Henry from his centuries-long slumber. He then attacks Jenny so he can get away but eventually admits what happened. The evil version inside of him takes over sometimes and he can't register what happens when it does. He passed Katrina's test through a talisman on his hand. It offers him temporary salvation. since his soul was damned. He got the talisman out of one of Henry's books. The unintentional side effect is that he got some humanity back and brought clarity. He found proof of the Hell Fire's dealings and wants to steal their money to give his wife and daughter security as reparations for what happened to him. But now he's running out of time. The rune is losing power so soon only the evil Frank will be in control. He gives Jenny the jump drive so she can help Cynthia and Maisie once he is too evil to do anything.
Ichabod and Abbie are able to get down into the tunnel again using Riggs' camera flash to make the Reapers go jumping back (they're not too fond of light). They then encounter Thomas Jefferson, or at least an extension of his spirit that exists thanks to a combination of science and magic. Jefferson thought they were there to get the information about the Fenestela and seems to know about their mission. Abbie goes on an investigation of her own through the tunnels and finds the Reaver's nest. There's two workers still alive. Jefferson had kept that secret because attacking the nest would destroy the Fenestela and all the secret information about the Witnesses is cancels. Jefferson had kept his distance from Ichabod because he couldn't interfere until the second Witness appeared.
Ichabod and Abbie choose to go ahead and save the lives of the innocent men in the nest, which risks sacrificing all the knowledge and information that may help them on their path. The Reapers waken but the Witnesses fight them off and continue their way to the ladder out. They're able to get the men to safety and the Witnesses realise that the Reapers are too dangerous to be left alive so they must blow it, which would in turn destroy the Fenestela. Ichabod drops some light explosives down the chute to keep the creatures while Abbie and Calvin get the men out to receive proper medical attention.
Ichabod heads back down to destroy the power source of the Fenestela. Jefferson tries to stop Ichabod from doing so and admits regret over rebuffing Ichabod and wants to be able to give all this information to him. Ichabod delivers an impassioned speech about the ideals they believe in and Jefferson tells him how to destroy the Fenestela. Ichabod runs up and out with Abbie there to help him up the chute just in time to avoid the explosion.
Abbie tells Calvin that for now, she makes the call because she has an important fight to fight. The door is left open for him to presumable return and help her and/or the team out again down the line. Calvin tells Abbie to check her e-mail and on there she finds a photo of herself from Calvin, with a message that he never reveals his sources.
Finally, we see Katrina waking from a nap or something to find Henry waiting former. He's back now and claims that he killed Moloch for her and for their kind. He says it's time for them to begin their work. But then Katrina wakes and it was all just a dream… or was it? In the dream she had pricked her hand on a thorny rose Henry gave her and upon waking she finds her hand is bleeding and there's a flower by her bedside.

Which Level-One Monster(s) is(are) the Most Dangerous?
Re: Which Level-One Monster(s) is(are) the Most Dangerous?
healing hands remains a good spell all the way through to level 10 btw, get a wand of diabolum in your hands and it's only costing 1 power per cast.
the only problem occurs when a warrior is separated from the rest of the party as it only affects the same board section.
I am pretty sure that Healing Hands heals every Warrior 'on the board'. Yup! just looked it up in the RolePlay Book. This is another reason I think it is considered by many to be a 'cheesy', and too easy, spell.
The Elf Ranger Mage's Aura of Vitality is only 'same board section'.
By the way, I really like your strategic concept of spreading out a little to maximize the Warriors' killing potential. A Strong offense is often the best defense. I think much of the strategy will depend on what types of spells the Wizard has. If a Wizard has Resurrection, well... the party's goose is probably cooked!
maybe it's different on the spell [sign in to see URL] a while since i played with a wizard, without one the game is a lot better, but harder.
yeah resurrection is a rubbish spell!
It must be the giant Spiders!
One party with a Barbarian, a Kislevite Shaman, a Dwarf Mendicine Man and an Ogre died because they didn't pay attention to those little buggers and consentrated on the orcs in the same room.
For me 3 Minotaurs hitting you with lucky dice roll can knock all of your warriors into their next lives, very quickly.
But there can be some deadly combinations out there.
A couple of spiders can really make a bunch of gobbos deadly.
I think its all down to perception.
When you see 3 spiders you think, easy, shame they aint worth alot of gold, but they can be very hard in the wrong circumstances.
incidentally i note many use the "healer in the corner" tactic.
i found when we abandoned this survivabilty went up. while he only has ws2 he hits about as hard as many other warriors with a S3, plus having the warriors dotted a bit around enabled focused firing to actually occur well.
plus once you've advanced a bit he gets access to magic weapons like anyone else and can actually fight.
bear in mind if you lock the healer into the corner so he cannot fight hand to hand you've turned a 4 person party into an effective 3 person party for damage output and hit taking, whenever you reduce potential by 25% you have to expect a reduction in actual outcome?
Very excellent commentary! Now, I really must go and quote you to my private online gaming group!
did you mention this/try another method and if so how did it go?
I realise I've not been here for 2 years and suddenly popped back to ask [sign in to see URL] my birthday is soon and i'm planning a day of warhammer quest with some board game buddies of mine!
I think I did quote you in our groups' private forum at the time, but that was long ago. I personally have not tested other methods much, but I often find myself, when playing a Wizard or similar spell caster, having to decide whether it is worth the risk to get in close to attack or whether to keep my distance in favour of healing someone, should they need it.
So, our Wizards do not always stay in the corner once the combat has begun.
Beware missiles and sorcerous enemies too! They can get at the Wizard even when he is surrounded by his allies.
I have never experienced a Wizard who just stands in the corner.
They get pushed into the muck just as much as any other character where I have played.
Again, the "us" in Maryland and now in the Rockies must just have been gluttons for punishment.
my group found once the wizard was in the thick of it our survivability shot up.
Wow! At the time of this post, the Minotaurs have really racked up a hefty score!
Doesn't matter what you have.... Level 10 charachter with all the bells and whistles.... Foot of Gork and your character is done. YIKES!!

4th Circuit Blocks North Carolina's Pro-life Law
Contact: Prudence Robertson, probertson@sbalist.org
North Carolinians, Like Most Americans, Reject Extreme Policies Allowing Abortion on Demand Through Birth
Washington, D.C. – The national pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) responded today as the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court's block of a longstanding North Carolina law that limits late-term abortions after five months of pregnancy, deeming it unconstitutional.
The 4th Circuit's action comes shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court announced it will consider the question of whether all "pre-viability" limits on abortion are unconstitutional. The case is Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser, a North Carolina native, made the following statement:
"The 4th Circuit's egregious decision illustrates exactly why Supreme Court review is needed. All states should be able to protect unborn children after five months of pregnancy – a point by which we know these babies can feel pain. North Carolinians, like most Americans, reject the extreme status quo of abortion on demand through birth and are eager to humanize our laws – advancing legislation this year to stop discrimination abortions and protect babies who survive abortions. Their efforts are part of a nationwide groundswell of almost 500 pro-life bills introduced this year alone, 89 of them and counting enacted in law. The circuit court is dramatically out of step with the consensus of the people.
"We thank our local allies fighting for the right to protect the most vulnerable and we look forward to seeing the case appealed."
Recent polling shows a strong majority of voters reject abortion extremism and politicians who support it.
SBA List is a network of more than 900,000 pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
