Dog missing since Caldor fire evacuations rescued from snow-capped mountain side of Lake Tahoe | Carson City Nevada News
by Paula Peterson, South Tahoe Now
Russ is a lucky dog and he has to thank a team of animal lovers and rescue experts in South Lake Tahoe.
In August, Russ was in South Lake Tahoe with his owner who was in town on temporary work when the three-year-old pit bull mix disappeared.
A lost dog report was made and handed to Animal Control, but the whole town was evacuated within two days due to the Caldor fire and Russ's human had to leave without him. He returned home to Riverside County thinking he would never see Russ again.
Before and after the city's repopulation, reports were posted on Facebook of a black dog with white chest markings appearing on their porches and yards or spotted in neighborhoods around Gardner Mountain.
Over time, Russ's human told himself that he would never see his pet again.
Fast forward to December 16, when Christian Holland, an Azul Latin Kitchen employee, was with a friend snowboarding and skiing between Twin Peaks and F Street in South Lake Tahoe. They saw a black dog in a tree well in the snow, unable to move. The dog growled at them and they could not retrieve it. Christian took the photos and posted them on a lost and found animal page on Facebook where Wendy Jones, founder of Tahoe PAWS and TLC 4 Furry Friends, saw them. Her group is professionally trained to search for missing pets, and she travels the Sierra and western Nevada to reunite humans with their beloved pets.
El Dorado County Animal Control Officer Kyle Shumaker was notified and proceeded to F Street but was unable to access the area due to deep snow from five feet and steep terrain as he had no equipment with him.
Wendy was on another missing pet case and called Leona Allen, a member of her team, to try and save the dog.
Leona, a former firefighter and former leader of the Lake Tahoe Basin Fire Academy, called Elsa Gaul, a Tallac Hot Shots member and academy instructor, to help her retrieve the dog.
Leona received the photos taken by Christian and a map of where he and his friend had been. She and Elsa dressed in snow clothes and made their way to F Street. It was already dark and the temperatures were approaching zero degrees. They found the snowboard and ski tracks of the two men who had seen the dog and went straight up the hill where Leona found the dog tracks.
"I saw a black spot in the snow, thinking the dog was dead," Leona said after climbing the hill in the snow for a mile.
As she moved closer and the dog moved, Leona said it was "the happiest moment I have ever had".
Elsa retrieved an ice rescue sled from Officer Shumaker and headed for Leona.
Leona calls Elsa the "dog whisperer" and she was able to immediately calm the dog down and gave him treats, salami, and a warm down coat. As she stroked him, the dog put her head in Elsa's hand and they sat together for about 30 minutes.
Seeing that the dog couldn't get out on his own, they put him on a sled, but when the dog jumped, Leona sat in the sled with him and bundled him up. Elsa pulled the two down the hill on the sled. The sled tipped over and Elsa carried the dog the rest of the way.
There was a lot of laughter involved in the rescue, a sound that Leona and Elsa saw immediately calmed the dog.
"It wasn't a smooth race," the ladies said as they methodically descended the steep hill in the dark.
Agent Shumaker immediately took the dog (still in Elsa's down coat) to a vet for examination and Leona and Elsa had to go upstairs to retrieve some items left upstairs.
"I'm super happy it turned out the way it did," said Leona. "He wouldn't have spent the night.
The next day, Leona went to the rescued dog at the animal shelter and he didn't want to leave her, a bond had formed. With the help of EDC Animal Services, volunteers from TLC 4 Furry Friends & Tahoe PAWS visited Russ daily to remind him that he was loved until he could return home.
Animal Control checked to see if the dog had a microchip and found one, but discovered that it was not registered. They saw that it was once in Riverside County, so they called all the vets in the county, trying to track down who owned the dog they found. They then found the old August "lost dog" report and called the dog's owner. He had not paid to renew the microchip because he thought his dog was gone forever.
Animal Control took the dog they then knew to be "Russ" to Placerville due to the impending storm, and the dog's owner was able to pick him up there on December 26, four months after their separation.
This is a great reminder that it is important to microchip your pet and maintain your name registration. It is also essential that you report your pet to the local animal services office if they go missing.
Leona has been involved in PAWS as a tracker since December 2019. She has been involved in 10 dog rescues and eight cat rescues where significant action was required (tracking, cameras, traps, overnight stays in the woods, etc.). Nine of his 10 dog rescues were successful, and five of the eight cats were. One of the cat rescues required overnight stays over Emerald Bay in the snow. She attended about twenty others.
If you are interested in volunteering with TLC 4 Furry Friends (Animal Search and Rescue) or Tahoe PAWS – Community Animal Response Team (Disaster / Emergency Response), please contact Wendy Jones on 775 -721-3647 (DOGS) or tahoepawscart @ gmail .com. https://tahoepaws.org/

Harris Museum & Art Gallery: Collections
The Harris Museum and Art Gallery is an important regional museum which holds exciting collections including fine art, decorative art, costume and textiles, history and photography. Many of the collections are of regional, national and international significance.
Founded in 1883 with Richard Newsham's bequest to Preston of his remarkable Victorian art collection. Numerous works, of both national and international significance, have been subsequently added to this founding collection, either by bequests, gift or purchase. The museum also received a steady stream of gifts from the Contemporary Art Society from 1910 onwards.
From the early 20th century to the late 1960s, the Preston Corporation made an annual purchases for the collection from the Royal Academy. Since 1985, the Harris has acquired works by contemporary British artists through a scheme funded by Preston City Council, the Contemporary Art Society and the Arts Council of England, with support from the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Granada Foundation.
Richard Newsham was a Preston lawyer who purchased work of the most esteemed artists of his time, commissioning paintings by artists like William Powell Frith and David Roberts. He regularly made purchases from the Royal Academy exhibitions and in this way acquired some of the most well known images of the day, such as Royal Family of France in the Prison of the Temple by EM Ward and In the Bey's Garden by JF Lewis. As a general rule, Newsham avoided 'difficult' work by experimental artists though he did, occasionally, make exceptions. One of his more unusual acquisitions – and the only one by an artist associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was a stunning but atypical watercolour by William Holman Hunt, The Sphinx, Gizah.
To the present day, the Harris Museum & Art Gallery continues to follow the collecting policy of Richard Newsham, who bought regularly from contemporary artists of the day, from the Royal Academy. In this way a significant collection of paintings by leading artists was built. This includes such paintings as Sir James Gunn's Pauline in the Yellow Dress and Gerald Leslie Brockhurst's Dorette. This was complemented by the acquisition of more radical work by, for instance, Walter Sickert, Graham Sutherland, John Piper and David Jones.
The museum was helped in this by the Contemporary Art Society which has given numerous works, including Matthew Smith's Reflections and Lucian Freud's remarkable Still Life with Squid and Sea Urchin. This policy of working with the Contemporary Art Society has continued to the present day. The iconic painting, and visitors' favourite, Pauline in the Yellow Dress, gained an incredible extra dimension with the 2007 arrival of the flamboyant bright yellow dress owned and worn by the elegant subject of the painting.
Devis Collection – the Devis family of painters, an artistic dynasty which originated in Preston, is well represented at the Harris. Arthur Devis (1711-1787) painted group portraits – a style known as the 'conversation piece'. Often his figures have a stiff, doll-like quality to them, due to his practice of using wooden lay figures when developing poses. He would dress the dolls in miniature suits and gowns, enabling him to complete a painting without the sitter being present. In contrast, his half-brother, Anthony (1729-1816) was a painter of landscapes. The Harris holds 150 of these landscapes in its collection. Arthur Devis's sons, Thomas Anthony (1757-1810), and Arthur William (1762-1822) practised as portrait painters. The latter, in particular, had a colourful career, working in India recording the lives of ordinary Indians, before returning to England and setting himself up as a painter of portraits and historical scenes.
Watercolours – A later, but equally important bequest of 19th century British painting was the Rev John Haslam's collection of watercolours. This increased the collection in English landscape tradition significantly and added important work by Samuel Palmer and JMW Turner, including the latter's spectacular tour de force, Kidwelly Castle, Carmarthenshire. Please note this work is not currently on display (watercolours cannot be shown for long periods as they are easily damaged by light).
Sculpture – the sculpture collection is particularly rich in work by the generation of sculptors who rose to fame in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These so called 'New Sculptors' reacted to the classicism of their predecessors by introducing a dynamic realism to their compositions, and working in the more flexible medium of cast bronze. Frederick, Lord Leighton, William Reynolds Stevens, Gilbert Bayes and Alfred Gilbert are amongst those artists whose work represents this movement at the Harris Museum & Art Gallery.
Ceramics: Preston solicitor, Cedric Houghton, left his fine collection of around 400 items of pottery and porcelain to the Harris in 1910. His expressed wish was that his personal collection formed the basis of a larger museum collection, and this has been the case. The museum now has almost 2,400 ceramics, most of which are British but there are sizeable groups of Chinese, Japanese and Continental wares. The Ceramics Gallery shows the development of English ceramics from 17th century slip-ware, to studio pottery of the mid-20th century.
Alongside well-known names like Minton, Derby, Wedwood and Doulton are commemorative ceramics for the Preston Guild and Royal occasions. There is also ancient Greek pottery on display. Other significant collections are the Smith Collection of English Porcelain, the Bradshaw Collection of English Coffee Cups and the Millington Tile Collection.
Glass: The museum has an excellent glass collection with about 750 items, almost exclusively British in origin. The collection is dominated by two large personal collections which can be seen in the Ceramics & Glass Gallery. The first is the Dr Taylor Collection, a significant selection of 18th and 19th century drinking glasses which include engraved examples and a variety of ornate stems. The second is the vibrant Mrs Seddon Collection of English Coloured Glass, which is mostly Victorian and includes tableware such as bowls, jugs and glasses.
There is also a selection of commemorative glass, which includes Jacobite drinking glasses, and a charming display of 'friggers' (novelty items including miniature ships).The collection of enamels is small (53 items) but of a high quality. They date mainly from the 18th and early 19th century and many are of English origin. There is also a Limoges enamel plaque, some Oriental cloisonné pieces, two examples of late 19th century art enamel in the champleve technique and a few early 20th century French enamels.
Mrs French Scent Bottle Collection: The Harris houses the largest scent bottle collection in Britain – and one of the most important in the world. The bottles, made from ceramic, glass, silver and other materials, date from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. There is also a regular tours of and talks about the perfume bottle collection, check the what's on calendar for details of the next .

It's been the subject of speculation for a while, but could the MXGP games be ending with no MXGP 2022 due for release this year? Questions had been asked by fans when a game for 2023 failed to appear in the usual pre-Chrismas press information, but it's now been confirmed in an official statement by developers Milestone.
The update from Milestone was shared by Youtuber Windham151, who focuses on off-road motorcycle games and real-life riding, along with his thoughts on what it could mean.
No MXGP 2022 confirmed by Windham151 and Milestone
The official statement reads "As a reference point for lovers of two-wheel racing video games, it was difficult for us to make the decision not to release a new chapter of the MXGP series. However, our love for dirt bikes is far from over; see you at a new start gate".
So it looks like either a pause, or an end to the MXGP series, which as been developed by Milestone since 2014 with the official license of the FIM Motocross World Championship. The reference to a new start gate is most likely for Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame 6, which is a licensed version of the American indoor off-road series already listed on Steam with a planned release date on March 9th, 2023.
The rights holders for AMA Supercross are Feld Entertainment, rather than the FIM, and this year also marks the introduction of the new SuperMotocross World Championship, combining both AMA Supercross and Pro Motocross in a new series.
But could it also mean the end of MXGP games for at least a few years? As mentioned in the video, it seems unlikely that Milestone, or parent company Plaion, who are in turn part of Embracer Group alongside THQ Nordic etc will have negotiated a continuing license with a one year break, although it's certainly not impossible. But the most likely answer is that the license has ended, and has so far not been renewed.
Milestone have developed seven MXGP games, since the original was released for consoles including the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 back in 2015. And it's evolved along the way, with MXGP and MX2 teams and riders, a track editor, and the introduction of a playground area to explore. But it's difficult to make really substantial changes to a series which is under an official real-world license, and changes to riding physics for MXGP 2021 have split opinions.
Without access to sales figures, it's noticeable that the last title in the MXGP franchise to have post-launch DLC was MXGP 2019. And anecdotally, real life off road racing has always seen a much larger audience in the U.S than in the UK, so it wouldn't be unrealistic to imagine sales may have tailed off as some fans of the non U.S-based championship decided to stick with older games in the series indefinitely, or until serious discounts in sales.
So you can imagine Milestone might want to focus on their other two-wheeled licenses, with MotoGP and Supercross, the recent reintroduction of World Superbikes games, and the RiDE series, along with any follow-up to Hot Wheels Unleashed. If I had to guess at the series with the lowest potential audience from their current licenses, it'd have to be MXGP unfortunately.
And ditching MXGP wouldn't harm other licenses, as MotoGP and World SBK are organised by Dorna Sports, and Supercross is Feld Entertainment. I'm not sure who directly controls the rights from MXGP, but Infront Moto Racing manage the TV, marketing and promotional rights.
That leaves a couple of options. Possibly Milestone may be taking a break for a while, and have some kind of agreement or relationship in place with the MXGP rights holders for a future return. After all, they did take a break of 10 years in producing official World Superbikes games. Or the license may now become available if any other developers wanted to step in and pick it up. Although there aren't any obvious studios and publishers who seem obvious candidates, with the MX vs ATV series coming from sister developers Rainbow Studios, who are also part of Embracer via parent company THQ Nordic, and a lot of other dirt bike games coming from small indie developers who probably don't have the financial or promotional resources to license a world championship series.
So to summarise, there's no new MXGP game this year. And there's been no confirmation from Milestone whether it's a planned break, but it seems likely that the series will be gone for some time unless a new publisher or developer decides to jump in. And leaves a question mark around continuing support for the online features of the existing titles.
In the meantime, you can find the MXGP franchise developed by Milestone for the PC via Steam, the Xbox store for the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, the PlayStation Store for the PS4 and PS5, or as physical copies including versions for older consoles on Amazon and eBay.

Cosa ist ein Ortsteil der Stadt Friedland im Landkreis Mecklenburgische Seenplatte in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Geschichte

Ersterwähnung
Im Jahre 1338 veräußerten die Angehörigen der pommerschen Uradelsfamilie von Manteuffel eine Hebung aus Cosa und Brohm an die Priesterbruderschaft zu Friedland. Dies ist faktisch die Ersterwähnung von Cosa. 1496 gab es im Ort wohl fünfundzwanzig Bauern. Die weitere Historie umschreibt Sabine Bock in ihrem Grundwerk zu den mecklenburgischen Herrenhäusern und Gutsdörfern. Die Anzahl der Bauern und Kossäten verringerte sich. Und so gelangte die Ortschaft als Gemarkung als Pfand an die Familie von Rieben auf Galenbeck. Aus dem Pfand entwickelte sich ein erblicher Besitz.

Gutsdorf
Cosa gehörte dann zum Gutsbereich Brohm. 1637 war Wedigo von Rieben der Besitzer, der nach dem Dreißigjährigen Krieg auch als Deputierter der Ritterschaft des Landes Stargard fungierte. Der Gutsherr gab seine Söhne auf das benachbarte Gymnasium in Friedland. Dorthin gingen auch die Söhne der Nachbargüter. Später gewinnen die gesondert gegründeten Adelsinternate und Standesschulen an Bedeutung. So war später unter anderem der Gutsherr auf Brohm und Cosa, Otto von Rieben (1773–1814) auf der Ritterakademie Brandenburg, mit Schule und Internat. Um die Güter und damit auch Cosa langfristig zu halten unterstützte sich der Adel untereinander. In einem konkreten Fall geht es um die stolze Summe von 950 Gulden, die die Rieben 1688 wieder an die von Restorff zurückzahlen mussten.

Im 19. Jahrhundert ist Cosa ein Teil einer größeren Gutsherrschaft mit Lübbersdorf. Eigentümer war die alte mecklenburgische Familie von Oertzen. Etwa 1860 lassen die Oertzen sich ein neues Herrenhaus in Cosa errichten, aber nicht an der mittelbaren Stelle des Vorgängerbaus/der Vorgängerbauten der Rieben. Um 1896 führt das standardisierte Handbuch des Grundbesitzes für Mecklenburg das Rittergut Cosa mit Friedberg als Lehngut und als Familienfideikommiss des Wilhelm von Oertzen. Die Größe ist mit 476,50 ha beziffert. Im Ort werden dort zugleich vier Erbpachtbauern erwähnt.

Erben von Cosa waren Wilhelm von Oertzen (1890–1981), respektive später eigentlich dessen Sohn Wilhelm Thedwig von Oertzen (1921–2011), der ein hoch anerkannter Historiker wurde und als Familienchronist sowie Journalist agierte.

Neuzeit
Die Bodenreform vor Ort setzte bereits im Oktober 1945 ein. Um 1947 bestand dann der Gedanke das Gutshaus des Ortes in eine Kulturstätte umzuwandeln, es blieb aber Mehrfamilienhaus. Nach 1990 wurde das Gebäude privatisiert.

Heute ist Cosa ein Ortsteil der Stadt Friedland.

Geografie und Verkehrsanbindung
Cosa liegt südöstlich des Kernortes Friedland. Unweit westlich verläuft die Kreisstraße K 113 und liegt der Nachbarort Brohm, ebenfalls ein Ortsteil von Friedland. Die Landesstraße L 282 verläuft östlich, die L 281 und die B 197 verlaufen westlich und die A 24 südlich. Westlich und nördlich des Ortes erstreckt sich der Brohmer Stausee mit der Talsperre Brohm und südwestlich das Naturschutzgebiet Eichhorst im Schönbecker Wald.

With being new to the area a few years back, I found myself wondering what kind of career would be a good fit for me here. As we were in the process of selling and buying our own homes, it sparked an interest in me. Also, it reminded me of being a small child toting around an oversized briefcase and pretending to be a sales person. So after some consideration, I decided to embark on my own new Real Estate adventure. I've got an amazing team that I work with, and love what I do. I've enjoyed working with both Sellers & Buyers and have found that you learn something new from every sale. I wear my heart on my sleeve and take a lot of pride in helping my clients to find what fits their needs so they can begin their own new adventures. I won't beat around the bush, I will be 100% honest with you, and will always do what is needed to get you the help you are looking for. As time goes on, I hope to continue to learn and blossom in my career. Would you like to help me with that? Give me a Call! I'd love to see what I can do for you.

Do you know your ABC's about RSV?
(BPT) - Alexis Tkachuk, a healthy 34-year-old, was overjoyed when she became pregnant with her first child. After 32 weeks of an uncomplicated pregnancy, Alexis' doctor cleared her for travel, and she and her husband decided to enjoy a relaxing trip. During the flight, however, Alexis began feeling discomfort, and upon checking into a local hospital, discovered she was in labor - eight weeks early! Only four pushes later, Alexis gave birth to her four-pound baby boy, Jack.
Nearly one in eight babies in the U.S. are born preterm (typically defined as before 37 weeks gestation), but many women deliver early without any risk factors or warning signs. Like many parents, Alexis and her husband initially felt unprepared to raise a preemie, as these infants face several health risks and often require special healthcare needs.
Fortunately, Jack was provided extra oxygen and was able to breathe well right after his birth. After ten days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), he and Alexis were able to fly back home. In the following months, Jack gained weight quickly, appearing strong and healthy, and Alexis thought the worst was behind them.
But despite his size, Jack still had underdeveloped lungs and an immature immune system due to his early birth, putting him at increased risk for severe RSV disease. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common seasonal virus that affects nearly all children by their second birthday. In most children, RSV causes mild to moderate cold-like symptoms, but in some infants (especially preemies), it can cause a serious lung infection. In fact, severe RSV disease is the leading cause of infant hospitalization in the U.S. RSV disease is responsible for 1 of every 13 pediatrician visits and 1 of every 38 trips to the E.R. in children under the age of five.
Alexis had been warned about the potential for severe RSV disease during RSV season, which typically runs from November through March, and took extra precautions to keep Jack healthy during these months. Despite her best efforts to protect him, Jack contracted the virus just before his first birthday and was hospitalized for three days, requiring assistance to breathe.
"It was so scary to see how quickly his symptoms progressed," said Alexis. "I thought Jack had passed the stage where he was still at risk for severe RSV disease as he was in the 88th percentile for height and weight. I had been warned about RSV, but I wasn't aware of how easily it is spread to babies and how rapidly it can turn into a serious infection once it's contracted."
Fortunately, Jack had a full recovery and is now a happy, healthy three-year-old. But Alexis wants all parents to know the risk factors and symptoms of RSV disease, as well as steps they can take to help protect their baby from the virus.
"After my experience, I'm passionate about RSV education," explained Alexis. "It's important for all parents and expecting parents - and especially those with preemies - to become informed about this very common, but potentially serious, virus."
High-Risk Populations
In addition to preterm infants, children with congenital heart disease and certain types of chronic lung disease are often at high risk for developing severe RSV disease. Additional risk factors for severe RSV disease among 32-35 weeks GA infants include low birth weight (less than 5.5 pounds), young chronological age (less than or equal to 12 weeks of age at the onset of RSV season), and situational risk factors such as attending daycare, crowded living conditions, having pre-school or school-aged siblings, or exposure to tobacco smoke.
Symptoms of mild RSV disease mimicking the common cold may not be cause for alarm, but parents should be on the look-out for symptoms that may signify severe RSV disease. These include: persistent coughing or wheezing; rapid, difficult or gasping breaths; blue color of the lips, mouth or fingernails; and a fever (a temperature greater than 100.4 F (rectal) in infants under 3 months of age is cause for concern).
Since there is no treatment specific for RSV disease, to help protect your child, all parents should:
* Understand the risk factors and ask your pediatrician if your child may be at increased risk
* Wash your hands as often as possible, along with toys, bedding, and clothes
* Avoid taking your baby to crowded areas during RSV season (e.g., malls or grocery stores)
* Never let anyone smoke around your baby
* Steer clear of people who are sick or who have recently been sick

Demi Lovato's 12 Beauty Tips to Feel More Confident Every Day
Demi Lovato Beauty Tips
January 6, 2016 by Lauren Levinson

Water Is Your BFF
"Drinking a lot of water really helps me. I've had great skin growing up, fortunately. It hasn't been something where I make sure that I eat fish. I just make sure that I drink a lot of water, because I can literally see a difference on my face when I know I'm dehydrated."
A DIY Manicure Can Be Meditative
"I always try to keep my nails looking good. For some reason, if my hands or my toes don't look good, I feel like a hot mess. So I'll even do my own nails at night or in the morning. It's kind of like my therapy, actually. When I need to zone out and do a little distraction meditation, I like to do my nails."

Treat Yo Self (Well)
"My first tip to being confident is that it has to start with treating yourself well. The ultimate goal is to learn how to love yourself and the skin that you're in, and be content with yourself as a person — what you look like, whatever. It's about taking care of yourself. When you start to take care of yourself, you start to love yourself, you feel confident."
Stay in Your Own Lane
"Don't compare yourself to other people — which is something I easily do. You know it's really easy to compare, walking down the street, looking at a Victoria's Secret model on a poster and thinking, 'Wow, that's not what I look like.'
"But then, I have people around me that will check me and be like, 'Yeah, but you have an awesome voice.' Or, 'You're a very talented, funny person.' I have a great support system, so surround yourself with people who are supportive."

Makeup Can Be a Remedy
"Whenever you want to feel a little dolled up, put on some makeup. I don't think there's anything wrong with guys wearing makeup, either. How is it fair for girls to be able to cover their blemishes and guys not be able to? By the way — all those heartthrobs — they all wear the makeup.
"What makes me feel great is making it look as natural as possible. I don't like to wear a lot of foundation day to day. So NYC New York Color Get-It-All Stick (out in January) is really light, but it leaves you looking fresh and with good coverage.
"I always do my brows, just because I think that's important, and they shape your face. It's nice to feel polished when you walk into work or something."
Love Yourself to Find Love
"In order to get into a healthy relationship, you have to learn to love yourself first, and you have to be able to take care of yourself. You have to be able to not rely on other people for confidence or comfort. That's when you get to have healthy relationships, when you start to love yourself."
Work Out, Feel Happy
"Fitness and diet really changes your mind with the way that you look at things. Whether it's working out and getting a good workout in, or if it's just getting outside and walking. Do something for your body — it's about self-love. It doesn't have to be, 'Oh I need to get to the gym to lose weight.' Your body produces natural levels of serotonin, and you get the endorphins. It literally, physically affects you and how you feel. It makes you enjoy life a little more."
What You Put in Your Body Counts
"I noticed that when I eat unhealthily, I break out. It is true. It's like when you're being good to your body, and then you put something in it that it's not used to. And it's like, 'Wait a minute — I need to get this out of me.'
"Also, another thing is fish oil. You can either eat fish or you can take fish oil pills. Those are really good for your skin because it has omega-3s in it."

A Good Hair Day Goes a Long Way
"When my hair looks good, I feel good. I feel polished. Normally I just scrunch it [when it's drying], because my hair is naturally wavy. Or I'll throw a couple curls in, or I'll straighten it — whatever I feel like doing that day."
Use Hair Color to Make a Statement
"I think the dark is my favorite color on me. Before you [dye your hair a rainbow], you have to strip your hair of all color. So it's going to be damaging to your hair, but if you still want to do it, go for it. Express yourself in whatever way you want to."
Image Source: Getty / Tim Mosenfelder
Scent Is a Powerful Mood Booster
"I actually have bad allergies, so I don't wear perfume. I can't. One spray, and I'm sneezing up a storm. You know those kiosks in the airport with the perfume? Yeah, that's like my biggest nightmare. If there were cats in there, it would be even worse!
"But anyways, in my skin care line, Devonne by Demi, I actually now have essential oils. So I will rub on oils instead of spraying on chemicals. When you smell good, you feel good. It's as simple as that. Some of the oils are relaxing."
Music Is Like Medicine
"Listen to music that resonates with you. Sometimes you need to listen to emotional music to get out whatever you're feeling, and sometimes you need to listen to music that's going to pump you up and make you feel confident."

Chemanol's methanol plant expansion set for completion in Q1 2023
January 5, 2023 | Juan Pedro Tomas
In Saudi Arabia, Arab News reported that Saudi Arabia's Methanol Chemicals Co. said that the workson its $80 million methanol plant expansion project in Jubail will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2023. The company noted that the construction of the project had faced delays. In a filing with the Saudi Stock Exchange, the company said that front-end engineering and design work on the facility was 95% complete. The work was initially due to be finished by the end of 2022, but it faced delays due to the late submission of required information from manufacturers, according to the firm. Once complete, Chemanol aims to expand the output capacity to 331,000 tons a year. On March 1, 2020, Chemanol obtained the Ministry of Energy's approval for allocating the required feedstock to expand the methanol plant and increase its annual output by 100,000 tons.

WFP warns of food aid shortages in Armenia
ROME - The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) warned today that by the end of April it will run out of food for 300,000 beneficiaries. "We are running out of food rapidly, said Muzaffar Choudhery, country director for WFP's operations in Armenia.
WFP has received only US$10 million of the US$32 million requested for the three-year operation launched in 2001. "We have no contributions that will take us beyond the end of April," he stressed.
In Armenia an estimated 55 percent of the population lives below the poverty line. "Many of these beneficiaries include children and old people who have no source of income. International food aid, provided by WFP, is their only lifeline. Without it, the nutritional level of the most vulnerable people will dramatically decrease," he added.
Earlier this year, WFP received contributions from Sweden, Switzerland and Japan. "We are grateful for the donations which came at a critical moment for continuing our operations. Without this we would not have made it to the end of April," said Choudhery. The donations were used to purchase 497 tons of vegetable oil and 898 metric tons of flour.
WFP first began operations in the country in 1993. In total it has mobilized 108,344 metric tons of food assistance to feed on average 220,000 people a year.
Since its independence in 1991, Armenia has been hit by a series of disasters, both economic and natural. The 1988 earthquake left over 25,000 people dead and over 400,000 homeless. The following year a military conflict with Azerbaijan broke out over the disputed territories of Nagorno-Karabakh.
While a ceasefire has been in place since May 1994, there is still no political solution. The conflict has cut Armenia off from its neighbours and former trading partners: Turkey and Azerbaijan. With its market dissolved, the country's infrastructure has collapsed. "This is a country virtually without an export economy and, currently, has little prospects for economic growth," said Choudhery.
WFP is the world's largest humanitarian agency. Every year WFP feeds around 80 million people in 82 countries including most of the world's refugees and internally displaced people.
WFP Global School Feeding Campaign -- As the largest provider of nutritious meals to poor school children, WFP has launched a global campaign aimed at ensuring the world's 300 million undernourished children are educated.

After a few years, Azarian's wife Melissa Knight starting showing her art as well, and the two continued the tradition for the next several holiday seasons. Then they took a break from converting their home into a gallery every December, and that break lasted four years.
Now the holiday show is back, with a change in name and a slight change in venue. This season, Azarian and Knight will host the Blue Cow Studio Annual Holiday Art Show, which takes place not inside their house, but in the new art studio they've had constructed in their backyard.
"It's nice to have a little separation, that's for sure," says Knight, to which Azarian adds, "What's the word... better than nice, it's awesome!"
As in years past, Azarian and Knight are welcoming guest artists to the show. "We always invited a guest artist or two," says Knight, "but now it's... becoming a bit more of our focus." That community spirit is part of the goal of Blue Cow Studio. Azarian and Knight are planning to make their backyard studio a bit of a local art hub, offering it up as studio or workshop space for other Austin artists or art students. "We wouldn't charge rent, we would just do it for the greater good of the community," Azarian says. "We want Blue Cow Studio to be a destination. Once we had the studio built... all of these possibilities are on the horizon now, which is exciting."
There will be art both in the studio and in the yard itself. "Outdoors has been really nice," Azarian says. "We hang things from trees, there's a fence that I put all my paintings along so it's real colorful."
Knight adds, "And we hope the weather will be good."
This year's holiday art show will feature new works by Azarian and Knight, along with guest artists Jesse Azarian (Ethan's brother), Chris Chappell, and Stephanie Macias (aka Little Brave). The show is supported in part by the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin and by the Austin Creative Alliance.
The Blue Cow Studio's Annual Holiday Art Show is Saturday, December 10 from noon to 6:00 pm at Blue Cow Studio, 2514 E. 17th Street.

Suffolk-based Fen Farm Dairy is set to expand its production of fine cheese, raw cultured butter and raw cream, after receiving a £200,000 loan from HSBC.
The family-owned Waveney Valley business has been producing dairy products for over 50 years, and is the only dairy farm in the UK to sell raw milk brie style cheese.
Fen Farm Dairy currently operates in the domestic sector and distributes its products through Harrods and Fortnum & Mason.
The funding from HSBC enabled Fen Farm Dairy to develop its cheese unit, including its raw milk Brie, Baron Bigod.
The business has since won the Good Housekeeping's Champion Cheesemaker 2016 award and Entrepreneur of the Year 2016 Europe Asia and Africa at the Business Excellence Awards.
Furthermore, Fen Farm Dairy has been able to hire a Milking Manager thanks to HSBC's support.
The Milking Manager will manage the day-to-day running of the business to enable the business owners to focus on growing the business and increase production.
Jonny Crickmore, who runs the 384-hectare farm alongside his father Graham, said: "HSBC's support has enabled us to increase capacity and further diversify the business.
"Our main priority is producing good quality products that our consumers enjoy.
"Thanks to the funding, we have been able to hire additional staff, which in turn will allow a greater focus on the growth of the business and drive sales even further with an aim to double production during the next five years.
"The cheese has seen a 35% growth this year and we hope for the same next year."
Julie Melbourn, Area Director for Business Banking in Norfolk, commented: "Fen Farm came to us looking to add value to their dairy products.
"They are now in an exceptionally strong position for growth and ongoing business development with their Baron Bigod cheese seeing 35% growth this year.
"HSBC is actively supporting UK businesses like Fen Farm Dairy to realise their growth potential.
"Our team worked closely with Jonny to put together a funding package to best support his plans for the farm and its next phase of development.
"Jonny has a strong vision for future developments of his business and we're pleased to be able to support its continued development and success once again."

Sooner State preserving memory of USS Oklahoma
By: Chip Minty	The Journal Record	December 6, 2021	0
Part of the hull of the capsized USS Oklahoma is seen at right as the battleship USS West Virginia, center, begins to sink after suffering heavy damage, while the USS Maryland, left, is still afloat in Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii, on Dec. 7, 1941. (U.S. Navy via AP, File)
When Japanese dive bombers descended over Pearl Harbor 80 years ago, the USS Oklahoma was among the first battleships to be attacked, taking eight torpedoes and capsizing with 415 sailors and 14 marines aboard. The loss of life was second only to the USS Arizona, which lost more than 1,100.
The USS Oklahoma Memorial is now a fixture on Ford Island, where so much history from the Pearl Harbor attack is now commemorated, but that was not always the case.
All eight battleships that were sunk on Pearl Harbor's battleship row on that "Day of Infamy," Dec. 7, 1941, were remembered with a memorial except for the USS Oklahoma, said retired U.S. Navy Cmdr. Tucker McHugh.
"We thought, 'That's not right that the USS Oklahoma does not have any kind of memorial,'" he said. "The fact that 429 men on the USS Oklahoma died that day … and there was nothing to honor them individually with their names on anything. That was just not right. That was not going to stand, so that's why we built the memorial."
Tucker, working with retired Rear Adm. Gregory Slavonic, Oklahoma City architect Don Beck and a handful of other Oklahomans, raised $1.5 million in private donations to build the lasting tribute to the USS Oklahoma's fallen heroes. So, on Tuesday, hundreds of visitors from Oklahoma and across the United States will gather on the shore of Pearl Harbor to see the memorial and commemorate 80 years since the attack that drew America into World War II.
There are fewer than 100 Pearl Harbor survivors still living. Two who survived the Oklahoma attack will attend Tuesday's Pearl Harbor Day observances at the USS Oklahoma Memorial.
Sailor David Russell barely survived the attack, managing to catch a rope and climb to safety aboard the neighboring USS Maryland. Despite that experience and seeing so many of his shipmates perish, he continued to serve. Within 16 days of the attack, he was on the USS Mahan, a destroyer, where he joined ranks as a gunner's mate. He served another 19 years in the Navy and is now 101 years old, living in Virginia.
Sailor Roy S. "Swede" Boreen was able to escape the Oklahoma before it sank and then climbed to safety aboard the Maryland. He only needed to slug down a cup of coffee before getting right back to work. He was given a rifle and was on patrol that very night. He then served another 18 years in the Navy and is now 101 years old, living in Oregon.
The giant memorial features a black granite wall. There are 429, 7-foot-tall standards that were cut from white marble. Each standard bears the name of a sailor or a marine, said memorial designer Beck.
"There are rows of these standards representing each individual that lost their life," Beck said. "You can walk between these rows, and the idea is you can walk among the lost souls and get a feeling of what it's like to see 429 who gave their lives."
"That is a significant number," retired Rear Adm. Slavonic said. "The next ship that had a large loss of life was 100, or less than 100, so that was a significant number to the state. We had a lot of sailors who were caught off guard."
"The Oklahoma should not have been positioned where she was," he said. "She was late coming into Pearl Harbor from a training mission the night of Dec. 5. There was only one position available on battleship row and that was outboard of the Maryland, which meant it was exposed to the bay. As the Japanese planes came around, she was the one most exposed."
Within 12 minutes, the USS Oklahoma had taken multiple torpedo hits, which caused it to roll over shortly thereafter.
"Fate had its baring on the Oklahoma and what happened to those sailors on that day," Slavonic said. "There were a lot of things that were just circumstantial on that day that should have been corrected, and we really felt they paid the ultimate price, so we needed to do what we could to right that wrong and build a memorial in their honor."

The memorial was completed in 2007, and it was dedicated on Dec. 7, only a few weeks after the state of Oklahoma celebrated its 100th birthday.
The USS Oklahoma Memorial's grass-roots origins within the Sooner State made it unique among other memorials commemorating Pearl Harbor Day, Slavonic said.
The Oklahoma was the first memorial to be funded, designed and built by a private organization. The only role the U.S. Park Service played was to provide the land, he said.
"That memorial, God willing, will be there for 100-plus years and you won't have individuals taking it down," Slavonic said. "It represents all the good things about our Navy, and about our state and our nation."
The USS Oklahoma was ultimately raised from the bottom of the harbor and stripped of its engines, guns and other vital equipment. A salvage company attempted to tow the Oklahoma back to the mainland, but the ship was caught in a storm and sank 500 miles northeast of Hawaii, in thousands of feet of water, where it remains today.
After the USS Oklahoma and USS Arizona tragedies, the Navy determined it would never name ships for those two states again, but Slavonic's persistent lobbying campaign within the Pentagon changed that policy. Now, there are two nuclear attack submarines in the funding process that will soon be named the USS Oklahoma and the USS Arizona.
"The USS Oklahoma will be SSN 802 and the USS Arizona will be SSN 803," Slavonic said. "It seems appropriate that two ships that met their fate on Dec. 7 will now have submarines floating the seas and protecting our great nation."

Thank you Debbie for those words. I was just a clown on a train, performing for Make-A-Wish kids when I met Brett. He was doing his magic there too. Serving others with our art is what made us fast friends. He was a great man.
Awesome! The essence of why we sing in the chorus!
You have brought me to tears! Thank you for sharing. God bless you for all that you are and all that you do for others.
May God Bless us all Becky, thank you!
Rob, First let me say it was an honor to stand next to you last night and perform for the wonderful people of Waco,TX. I could hear the passion in your voice as we sang the stellar Vocal Majority selection of songs…each one a gem and a story unto itself.
Second, I was truly moved by your blog article about your connection to your departed pal and how the VM renews your bond with him each time we sing a powerful song like "Be Still My Soul". Keep up your creative writing process and sharing the experiences of your "Magic Nurse" persona. We can all learn a lot from you.
Thank you Bob. Standing next to you in our neighborhood of voices has been an amazing blessing. It is hard to find the right words that describe the power of this music. It just has to be experienced to understand.

Fethullah Gulen issued the following statement on the Orlando shooting attack
By FETHULLAH GULEN
ARIS MESSINIS / AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE — GETTY IMAGES
SAYLORSBURG, Pa. — During the attempted military coup in Turkey this month, I condemned it in the strongest terms. "Government should be won through a process of free and fair elections, not force," I said. "I pray to God for Turkey, for Turkish citizens, and for all those currently in Turkey that this situation is resolved peacefully and quickly."
Despite my unequivocal protest, similar to statements issued by all three of the major opposition parties, Turkey's increasingly authoritarian president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, immediately accused me of orchestrating the putsch. He demanded that the United States extradite me from my home in Pennsylvania, where I have lived in voluntary exile since 1999.
Not only does Mr. Erdogan's suggestion run afoul of everything I believe in, it is also irresponsible and wrong.
My philosophy — inclusive and pluralist Islam, dedicated to service to human beings from every faith — is antithetical to armed rebellion. For more than 40 years, the participants in the movement that I am associated with — called Hizmet, the Turkish word for "service" — have advocated for, and demonstrated their commitment to, a form of government that derives its legitimacy from the will of the people and that respects the rights of all citizens regardless of their religious views, political affiliations or ethnic origins. Entrepreneurs and volunteers inspired by Hizmet's values have invested in modern education and community service in more than 150 countries.
At a time when Western democracies are searching for moderate Muslim voices, I and my friends in the Hizmet movement have taken a clear stance against extremist violence, from the Sept. 11 attacks by Al Qaeda to brutal executions by the Islamic State to the kidnappings by Boko Haram.
In addition to condemning mindless violence, including during the coup attempt, we have emphasized our commitment to preventing terrorists' recruitment from among Muslim youth and nurturing a peaceful, pluralist mind-set.
Throughout my life, I have publicly and privately denounced military interventions in domestic politics. In fact, I have been advocating for democracy for decades. Having suffered through four military coups in four decades in Turkey — and having been subjected by those military regimes to harassment and wrongful imprisonment — I would never want my fellow citizens to endure such an ordeal again. If somebody who appears to be a Hizmet sympathizer has been involved in an attempted coup, he betrays my ideals.
Nevertheless, Mr. Erdogan's accusation is no surprise, not for what it says about me but rather for what it reveals about his systematic and dangerous drive toward one-man rule.
Like many Turkish citizens, the Hizmet movement's participants supported Mr. Erdogan's early efforts to democratize Turkey and fulfill the requirements for membership in the European Union. But we were not silent as he turned from democracy to despotism. Even before these new purges, Mr. Erdogan in recent years has arbitrarily closed newspapers; removed thousands of judges, prosecutors, police officers and civil servants from their positions; and taken especially harsh measures against Kurdish communities. He has declared his detractors enemies of the state.
Hizmet, in particular, has been the target of the president's wrath. In 2013, Mr. Erdogan blamed Hizmet sympathizers within the Turkish bureaucracy for initiating a corruption investigation that implicated members of his cabinet and other close associates. As a result, scores of members of the judiciary and the police forces were purged or arrested for simply doing their jobs.
Since 2014, when Mr. Erdogan was elected president after 11 years as prime minister, he has sought to transform Turkey from a parliamentary democracy into an "executive presidency," essentially without checks on his power. In that context, Mr. Erdogan's recent statement that the failed coup was a "gift from God" is ominous. As he seeks to purge still more dissenters from government agencies — nearly 70,000 people have been fired so far — and to crack down further on Hizmet and other civil society organizations, he is removing many of the remaining impediments to absolute power. Amnesty International has revealed "credible" reports of torture, including rape, at detention centers. No wonder Mr. Erdogan's government suspended the European Convention on Human Rights and declared a state of emergency.
Turkey's president is blackmailing the United States by threatening to curb his country's support for the international coalition against the Islamic State. His goal: to ensure my extradition, despite a lack of credible evidence and virtually no prospect for a fair trial. The temptation to give Mr. Erdogan whatever he wants is understandable. But the United States must resist it.
Violent extremism feeds on the frustrations of those forced to live under dictators who cannot be challenged by peaceful protests and democratic politics. In Turkey, the Erdogan government's shift toward a dictatorship is polarizing the population along sectarian, political, religious and ethnic lines, fueling the fanatics.
For the sake of worldwide efforts to restore peace in turbulent times, as well as to safeguard the future of democracy in the Middle East, the United States must not accommodate an autocrat who is turning a failed putsch into a slow-motion coup of his own against constitutional government.
New York Times:


For the past decade or so, the medicinal uses of marijuana have been highly debated, due to the fact this drug is classified under Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, which means it is illegal to use, possess, or distribute marijuana. Scientific studies have been conducted on the potential health benefits of marijuana and certain chemicals contained within the drug, namely THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol).
Scientists and researchers have performed a variety of studies using different types of laboratory configurations, where lab furniture, lab benches, lab tables, and other pieces are arranged to accommodate the test subjects, most frequently rats and mice. These configurations allow researchers to easily distinguish between the subjects and ensure accurate results when comparing outcomes between the placebo group and those administered marijuana or derivatives of its chemicals.
One of the more recent studies funded by the U.S. government that has shifted their view was conducted in 2014 in the United Kingdom at St. George's University in London. This study focused on the effects of THC and CBD and how they reacted with various types of cancer cells. During the research study, it was discovered that both THC and CBD did cause certain types of cancer cells to become weakened, which made them more susceptible to radiation therapies.
One particular area included in the study was the effects marijuana would have on brain cancers, many of which are often fatal. The study concluded the use of marijuana, along with radiation therapy, reduced the number of cancer cells and was an effective treatment.
Further research included using extracts from entire marijuana plants and administering the extracts to mice with cancerous cells and tumors. The study on the mice showed those that were administered the marijuana extracts responded better to radiation therapies, as the marijuana weakened the cancer cells, allowing the radiation to effectively kill the cancer.
Due to the positive results from this study, the federal government updated the U.S. Department of Health's National Cancer Institute's website in May 2016 to include a page specifically about marijuana (cannabis) under its Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) section.
Specifically, Section 6 was updated to reflect the findings in laboratory studies using animals. The new information from the 2014 research study was included to reflect the potential marijuana has for helping weaken aggressive cancer cells and making them easier to kill using radiation therapies, specifically under the "Antitumor Activity" subsection.
There were also some modifications made to Section 7, which reflects what clinical studies and trials have been conducted using humans. It is worth mentioning, studies have not yet been conducted on humans to determine the effectiveness of marijuana as a CAM treatment for cancer by itself.
– Oral marijuana drugs containing delta-9 THC, called nabilone and dronabinol, and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), have been found to be effective in reducing the side effects of nausea and vomiting in cancer patients.
– Marijuana has been found to help reduce inflammation.
– Delta-9 THC has been found to reduce pain, discomfort, and soreness.
– Studies have been conducted on the use of inhaled marijuana, either as a smoke or a vapor to help reduce stress and anxiety. Research has shown it can help reduce both symptoms.
– Vapor and smoked marijuana have been found to help address insomnia and can make it easier to fall asleep.
– Various forms of marijuana can help stimulate the appetite response within the body. Cancer patients, HIV patients, and AIDS patients can experience a loss of appetite as a side effect from various medications, and marijuana use has been shown to help improve appetite and weight gain in some people.
Furthermore, a study conducted in California, called the California Men's Health Study, which consisted of 84,000 participants and has followed participants for over 16 years, found that the occurrence of bladder cancer was 45% lower in subjects who were cannabis users, compared to non-cannabis users.
What Is the Difference Between Cannabis and Cannabinoids (CBD and THC)?
Cannabis is simply the scientific name given to the marijuana plant. Studies on the medicinal benefits of marijuana are regulated and limited due to the federal government listing the plant as a controlled substance. However, in light of recent relaxation of laws in various states and territories, the federal government's view is slowly changing and could make future research studies easier to perform.
How Do Patients Take Cannabis and Cannabinoids?
When most people think about medicinal marijuana usage, they might picture people smoking the leaves of the plant, much like cigarette users smoke tobacco. However, there are various forms of cannabis use besides smoking it. Some patients mix the leaves into baked goods or make herbal teas rather than smoking it.
Cannabinoids can be obtained as extracts or in pill formats. Since cannabinoids can be separated, it allows patients to choose which form of cannabinoids is best for their condition. For instance, some patients might only require CBD, while others may respond better to THC. In some cases, certain patients could require both CBD and THC.
How Do Patients Get Cannabis Since It Is Illegal in the United States?
Even though it is still listed in the Controlled Substances Act, many states have taken their own steps, over the years, to legalize the drug for medical purposes, and some states have even gone so far as to legalize it for recreational use, much like alcohol.
The FDA has approved specific cannabinoids for the treatment of side effects of cancer. Therefore, the chemical extracts CBD and THC would be considered legal, so long as they were obtained legally through approved distributors.
With the federal government updating their CAM web page and clearly showing there are indeed certain medicinal benefits for cancer patients, one has to wonder not if but when the use of marijuana for medical purposes will become common in all fifty states. In the meantime, expect further lab planning and other research studies to be conducted with marijuana and its ability to treat a wide range of medical conditions besides cancer.

Is Faith guilty of murder? If not, who is? And can Faith find a way to clear her name before her dreams turn into nightmares?
Find out in A Cherry Sinister Murder!
I co-authored this series with a good friend in the UK, Cyra Bruce, simply because we wanted to do a project together. While it has been much more challenging than expected to write with someone who lives overseas, it has also been amazingly fun & fulfilling! Hence, we are now working on our fifth book in the series!
Cyra & I developed our characters together by tossing out a basic idea and then handing it back and forth, each of us adding or subtracting something every time it came back our way. While it may have taken a bit longer than I could've done on my own, I believe it led to much deeper character development and a better story overall.

Best Esports to Gamble on in the Future
Jean Carter
Electronic sports, better known as Esports, is an industry that revolves around multiplayer video games and simulated sports tournaments. These tournaments see thousands of professional male and female gamers compete to win a title and prize fund every year. The most popular gaming classes include first-person shooter games (FPS), multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), real-time strategy (RTS), battle royale games, fighting games, and card games.
South Korea is said to be the birthplace of esports. Popularity grew around the 2000s when unemployment rates peaked following the Asian financial crisis. With so many people jobless and stuck at home, video games became an easy way to pass the time. By 2010, with console sales up and more advanced gaming technology, many other parts of the globe had become influenced by South Korea — paving the way for worldwide tournaments such as Intel Extreme Masters, Major League Gaming, and World Cyber Games.
It was also around this time when streaming platforms like Twitch and Steam TV began reaping the benefits of these tournaments. In just one day of broadcasting The International, Twitch saw 4.5 million viewers lock into the action for two hours on average. In 2013 alone, the platform recorded 12 billion minutes of viewing time on its services. These days, esports competitions are broadcasted by the world's biggest TV corporations, including ABC, ESPN, and even Disney.
A Multi-Billion-Dollar Industry
Today, the U.S. is considered the largest market in the esports industry, which now holds more tournaments than any other country in the world. The traction and support gained from gamblers over the years are also huge. It might not have a mass scale fanbase as traditional sports, but as of 2020, the growth and popularity have seen it valued at roughly $30 billion.
This provides an incredible opportunity for people wishing to gamble for real money on esports tournaments and sporting events. And since it's now worth so much, ordinary online sportsbooks have also begun offering esports betting. People can place bets on everything from the first goalscorer to handicaps, overs and unders, future teams to win, and straight-up bets on individual players.
Popular Esports Games to Bet On
There are dozens of different games you can wager on in esports. In saying that, it's generally the most popular games that make the big tournaments. These competitions are also where there is big payout potential for both the contestants and the people who place bets. It's wise to first choose a game you like, then learn the ins and outs of it before putting any money down. Here are some games you might want to consider for your bets:
Battlefield – Battlefield is an award-winning first-person shooter game series developed by EA DICE, and the 5th release is expected to come out this year. Thanks to the encapsulating gameplay that features huge maps, teamwork, and vehicle warfare — the community has accumulated over 55 million players since its inception in 2002. 141 worldwide tournaments were held for Battlefield 4 in 2017, with the total winnings reaching over $230k.
Call of Duty – Activision's Call of Duty (CoD) is another epic first-person shooter game. There are numerous editions made each year with Modern Warfare being the latest title released in 2019. Major League Gaming is the main organizer of professional tournaments. Matches are object-based and played in teams of four.
Counter-Strike Global Offensive – Counter-Strike Global Offensive is incredibly popular and one of the oldest of esports. In 2017, the game developers (Valve) faced massive backlash after an uptick in teenage skin gambling and unregulated online casino gambling. Despite this, it is still legal to bet on the tournaments and make money; the bets are usually best 2 out of 3.
Dota 2 – Defense of the Ancients 2 is a MOBA that plays a significant role in the esports calendar. It also has one of the largest player followings out of all modern video games. As fun as it can be to watch and bet on, it's worth noting that this game experiences regular Meta Shifts, which are changes made to the rules and characters to maximize the gameplay.
FIFA – Soccer fanatics will be familiar with this one. FIFA is one of the most successful esports of all time. Like betting on real-life soccer matches, you can choose to wager on everything from total goals, overs/unders, Asian handicaps, match outcomes, your favorite team to win, and more. You can also place combination bets.
Halo – Halo is immensely popular with gamers and gamblers. This first-person shooter game requires quick thinking and strategic skill to master, but that's not to say you have to be a Halo pro to get the most out of the betting markets available. Take your pick from 4 betting options: handicaps, outright winner, match winner, or go for something tailor-made with the 'specials' market.
League of Legends – LoL is another multiplayer online battle arena, developed and published by RIOT Games. The most common tournament for this one is 5v5 players with the objective of destroying the enemy nexus — so teamwork is essential in this one. Betting options come down to moneylines, accumulators, outright bets, in-play bets, and specials.
PUBG – PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds is a multiplayer game based on survival tactics. Gamers must collect weapons and constantly navigate the safe zones on the map while killing their enemies along the way. As the third most popular game on Twitch, it's got some great betting prospects for punters and players. At the last event, contestants competed for a prize pool of more than $350,000!
Other popular esports games include Rocket League, Street Fighter, Super Smash Bros, and World of Tanks, plus an array of others. The above are the most popular ones you'll find in worldwide tournaments, and each one can bring a nice little payday if your predictions are right. Just make sure you thoroughly research the top players, the rules of the gameplay, and pick the betting options that are most suitable for your bankroll.
Good luck and game on!

Screaming matches, barbed comments, nasty gossip, hurt feelings, toxic environments, shouty ALL CAPS emails, extended episodes of the silent treatment, or simple avoidance—these are some of the greatest hits of bad office conflict resolution. And sadly, they're about as well known to most of us as the tracks on a Beatles "Best Of" album.
But just because conflict is inevitable when colleagues of diverse backgrounds and temperaments are thrown together in a high stress work environment, doesn't mean disputes can't be dealt with constructively and in a way that reinforces rather than erodes morale at your company.
That's the message of entrepreneur Martina Welke on the Young Entrepreneur Council blog recently. Welke brings an unusual background to her life as a business owner. Before founding her networking events company, she worked as a court mediator trying to untangle highly emotional family and small claims disputes.
People aren't against you, they're just for themselves." In one of my first mediation courses, the instructor introduced this basic concept, and it fundamentally changed the way I perceive conflict. When engaged in a conflict, emotions run high and people generally defend their best interests, which often feels like an attack and perpetuates a rigidly antagonistic line of communication. A simple step back and consideration of the other party's perspective reframes the entire conflict and can open up the pathway to resolution.
Listen for values, not interests. In our day-to-day conversations, we generally speak in terms of our interests: "I wish I could take more vacation days," or "I deserve that promotion." If we peel away a layer below those interests, however, there are always values motivating our interests. Uncovering those values is key to resolving complicated conflicts. The value behind wishing for more vacation could be "I value variety and change" or "I value relaxation and entertainment" or "I value appreciation for my hard work." If the person requesting additional vacation time is really asking for appreciation, there might be better ways of fulfilling that need that don't require weeks away from the office.
Make it safe. If one party feels threatened by the authority, aggression or some other advantage of the other, it's a major barrier to authentic communication. Establishing ground rules that all parties agree to before beginning to work through a conflict helps to level the playing field and create a safe space. Clear rules about confidentiality, respectful language, and the potential consequences of reaching (or not reaching) an agreement provide a strong foundation for open communication — and a safeguard to fall back on if the discussion strays from those guidelines.
For more detail and examples of these strategies, as well as additional ideas, check out Welke's thought-provoking post. Or check out author Mike Myatt's five keys to effective workplace conflict resolution (to start with, he says, don't just try to avoid conflict).
