SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Thousands of homes and businesses were burned to the ground in mid-November, as wildfires spread through portions of Ventura, Los Angeles and Butte counties. Countless other structures were damaged — many so severely as to make them uninhabitable. As recovery efforts continue throughout the damaged areas, free advice is available to those beginning to repair or rebuild their homes and businesses.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and local hardware and home improvement stores have teamed-up to answer questions and provide tips and techniques geared to do-it- yourselfers and contractors on how to make homes and businesses better, stronger, safer, and less susceptible to the next disaster.
Wednesday thru Sunday, Jan. 30 – Feb. 3, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Monday, Feb. 4. 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Free reference booklets, in English and Spanish, with information on how to protect your home or business from natural disasters, will be available at each session. More information about strengthening property can be found at fema.gov/what-mitigation.


Wanting to spice up the launch of the X1 crossover in America, BMW releases the 'Powder Ride' edition, celebrating winter sports. Of course this is a publicity campaign partnered with K2 LTD Powder Ride skis, but the ironic thing is that everyone knows that the X1 is designed to work in the cities, making the car useless on rough terrain, especially snow and ice.
Starting in November and throughout the winter, the X1 Powder Edition is based on the xLine model and features 18-inch rims, leatherette seats, dark copper interior trim, as well as exclusive all-weather mats roof rack rails, a ski and snowboard bag, and a set of K2 LTD Powder Ride skis. Some graphics and decals are also features in this special edition BMW including a large X on the rear doors.
Engine-wise, the Powder Ride comes as either xDrive28i with a 240-hp four-cylinder, or xDrive 35i powered by a 300-hp in-line six turbo. Both models come with all-wheel-drive systems, prices starting for the 28i at $31,545, and $39,345 for the 35i.
Other than the Powder Ride, BMW will also unveil the K2 concept (picture on the right) at the Los Angeles auto show. It seems to be the concept that inspired the production version, featuring an orange paint job, lots of graphics, special 19-inch wheels, speakers, and winter sport accessories.

Women Focussed Fashion App Voonik Grabs $5 Mn In Series A From Seedfund & Sequoia
Team Inc42
10 Jun'15 3 min read
Bangalore based fashion app Voonik has secured $5 Mn in a series A round of funding led by Seedfund and Sequoia. The company had earlier raised over $390k (INR 2.5 Cr.) from Seedfund.
The funding will enable Voonik to enhance its personalisation and style recommendation technology.
Voonik was founded in 2013 by Sujayath Ali and Navaneetha Krishnan, it is an personal shopping app for women which allows users to buy what suits their body, lifestyle and budget. With the presence of number of players in the fashion segment, Voonik sets it apart from other conventional ecommerce firms by offering an in-house personal shopping platform that makes recommendations to shoppers based on their profile and preferences.
It allows users to discover personalized apparel from number of other ecommerce sites like Jabong, Fashionara, Zovi, and so on. This allows them to get personalized recommendations from across ecommerce stores in a single app and lets consumers shop in a single checkout.
The company had launched its mobile app last year and has managed to get over 1M+ downloads during this time. According to the company, on an average it registers close to 2,500 purchases daily from 1,500 unique customers.
Sujayath Ali, CEO and Co-founder of Voonik said, "While ecommerce portals have been extremely popular, we have observed mcommerce is increasingly becoming the de facto mode for making transactions. With the ubiquitous smartphone getting cheaper, along with better connectivity, we believe mobile is the future of commerce."
Recently, Myntra went on an App only mode and Flipkart is also planning to adopt this approach.
Voonik will be focussing on innovations that would enhance its mobile platform and provide an unmatched shopping experience to its users.
Voonik was also among the 16 startups that were part of the 2014 summer batch of Microsoft accelerator programme in India announced last year.
According to a research by Morgan Stanley, India's online retail market is expected to cross $100 Bn mark by 2020 with fashion expected to account for about 30% of the total market.
Startups in fashion space that have recently raised funding include Limeroad, which raised over $30 Mn in a Series C round led by Tiger Global and its existing investors Lightspeed Venture Partners and Matrix Partners, Gurgaon-based fashion discovery site, Roposo.com that raised $5 Mn in series A round of funding from Tiger Global Management, Indian Quotient and Binny Bansal (co-founder and COO of Flipkart.com). In January, Hyderabad-based online fashion social network, VioletStreet.com had raised $312k in an angel round. Startups like Wooplr also operate in this space.
Also, earlier Snapdeal had acquired online fashion retailer Exclusively.com to strengthen its fashion business last month, Snapdeal had also acquired fashion discovery site Doozton last year and even Aditya Birla Grouphad also disclosed its plans to launch an online fashion retail venture.

Province grapples with identity
26 June 2008 | Story by Myolisi Gophe
Sharing experience: Prof William Pick has released an autobiography, in which he thinks back on his time as a black medical student at UCT
Professor William Pick has lived through pre-apartheid, apartheid and post-apartheid regimes, experiences remarkable enough to deserve documentation.
"I thought about writing a textbook for schoolchildren, but then I realised that I was not an author, and that it would be easier to reflect on my experiences," says Pick, an honorary professor of public health at UCT.
On 24 June he released an autobiography, The Slave has Overcome. In it, he reflects on, among other things, his time as a black medical student at UCT, where he completed his MBChB and MMed in 1964 and 1989, respectively.
The transformation committee at the Faculty of Health Sciences invited him to launch the book there as they felt it was important to think back on the faculty's past as well. Associate Professor Gonda Perez, deputy dean for the faculty, said the need to reflect on the past is crucial.
"Unless we understand what happened, and put in place supportive and preventive structures, we will not be able to prevent injustices happening again. This is why this volume, written simply and with no pretention, is so important for us."
Pick believes that the Western Cape is still struggling with issues of identity. "There is no reason for not celebrating our identity, and we should be keen on sharing our ancestry," he says. "It is time for us to speak about it frankly, without shame or fear."

When diet is a problem, we often don't talk about it the way we should. Here's an example. Sometimes people try to lose weight, and that's fine, but sometimes people are obsessed with it. And when it comes to children, it's very important that we recognize there is a problem that has to be looked at. In other words, a child should not be overly concerned about diet. They should be worried about eating proper foods, they should worry about exercising, but not losing weight and looking good in a bathing suit. That's important.


Anime Hoodie Supply wouldn't be here today without the help of our thriving artist community. Their original Japanese-inspired designs are what make our store one of the most popular online destinations to get an anime hoodie.
We wanted to share with our fans what we know about Beyo the Artist and what inspired him to make his art. Stay tuned for more Anime Hoodie Supply Exclusives.
Beyo the Artist is an eclectic nomad who calls Atlanta, Tampa and a few other cities home. His passion for the arts started with his love for music. For the past 10 years, Beyo has earned his recognition as a producer in the Atlanta, GA and Tampa, FL music scenes. His most notable projects include EP "Pickled Oranges" and Deezy Wee The Reaper's hit single "Jetro". He resorted to drawing as a therapeutic hobby to break away from music every now and then while still being creative. Beyo is considered a new artist having started drawing only three years ago, self-taught at that. Thanks to a little help from YouTube University and an uncanny eye to the world his newest pieces helped shaped the collection featured on Anime Hoodie Supply.
Off That Wet, the collection featured of his latest work, is a creative cultivation of Beyo's most recent ideas. The characters are in a post-apocalyptic world where evil and vice have taken over. From aliens, to creepy zombie woman, prophets, and sorcerers - you can find a little of everything in these anime hoodie designs. The story behind these characters and their scenes can be found on www.xffthxtwxt.com. Beyo has worked with a team of creators to storyboard this concept and bring it to life. There are talks of a full manga and animation launching soon. We'll be the first to cover it.

Zou You (Chinese: 邹游)(born on September 22, 1985) is a professional Chinese footballer.

Club career
Zou You started his professional senior career with top-tier side Dalian Shide as a midfielder and was soon loaned out to second-tier club Dalian Changbo to gain some playing time. Upon his return to Dalian Shide he would make a handful of appearances as the club won the 2005 Chinese Super League title. His appearances for Dalian Shide would see him called up to the China U20 team that took part in the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship where his height saw him play in two matches as a forward. After being unable to further establish himself with his club he would go on to loaned out once again to another second-tier club in Guangzhou Pharmaceutical during the 2006 league season. He would return to Dalian Shide once again in 2007 however he would only make one further league appearance and was allowed to be transferred to top-tier club Henan Construction in 2008.

At Henan Zou would spend three seasons with the club where he predominantly acted as a fringe player within the squad before being released from the club at the end of the 2010 league season. As a free agent he would join third-tier club Fushun Xinye where he would aid the team to a play-off league spot before they were knocked out in the second round. With Fushun not joining the third tier within the 2012 league season Zou would join second-tier club Chengdu Blades halfway through the 2012 league season.

In February 2015, Zou transferred to China League One side Dalian Aerbin.

In his later career, Zou signed for Shaanxi Chang'an. His first goal for the club was against Cangzhou Mighty Lions on 10 August 2019.

This picture is part of the series "La Forma Bruta". "La Forma Bruta" looks back to our origins investigating the process of representation through the Museum. The project relates the object exhibited, the device that exhibits it and the point of view from he who observes it. It's about (re) imagining history through images, of making a study of the past that may generate possibilities of other futures, of activating dormant stories and understanding that the present bares the mark of multiple pasts and history has the power to change.

Atmosphere Origins for Exoplanet Sub-Neptunes
Edwin S. Kite, Bruce Fegley, Laura Schaefer, Eric B. Ford
Center for Astrostatistics
Center for Exoplanets & Habitable Worlds
Planets with 2 R ⊕ < R < 3 R ⊕ and orbital period <100 days are abundant; these sub-Neptune exoplanets are not well understood. For example, Kepler sub-Neptunes are likely to have deep magma oceans in contact with their atmospheres, but little is known about the effect of the magma on the atmosphere. Here we study this effect using a basic model, assuming that volatiles equilibrate with magma at T ∼ 3000 K. For our Fe-Mg-Si-O-H model system, we find that chemical reactions between the magma and the atmosphere and dissolution of volatiles into the magma are both important. Thus, magma matters. For H, most moles go into the magma, so the mass target for both H2 accretion and H2 loss models is weightier than is usually assumed. The known span of magma oxidation states can produce sub-Neptunes that have identical radius but with total volatile masses varying by 20-fold. Thus, planet radius is a proxy for atmospheric composition but not for total volatile content. This redox diversity degeneracy can be broken by measurements of atmosphere mean molecular weight. We emphasize H2 supply by nebula gas, but also consider solid-derived H2O. We find that adding H2O to Fe probably cannot make enough H2 to explain sub-Neptune radii because >103 km thick outgassed atmospheres have high mean molecular weight. The hypothesis of magma-atmosphere equilibration links observables such as atmosphere H2O/H2 ratio to magma FeO content and planet formation processes. Our model's accuracy is limited by the lack of experiments (lab and/or numerical) that are specific to sub-Neptunes; we advocate for such experiments.

Blacklisted casinos are online casinos that have mistreated players and mishandled their money.
You should think twice, even three times before playing at any blacklisted casino.
The types of transgressions such casinos commit include confiscating players' winnings and not responding to complaints. The safest way to avoid being ripped off at a blacklisted casino is, obviously, not to play there in the first place.
In the recent years we have a seen a splurge in online gambling across the globe. This growth is gaining momentum as more and more eager and enthusiastic gamblers are joining the bandwagon everyday. Amidst this enthusiasm and eagerness, there are a segment of online gambling predators watching every development and move. They leave no stone unturned to create the favorable environment for them to take advantage of gullible players who fail to realize these culprits are hiding in the dark and ready to strike out of nowhere. This means that out of the thousands or even as some estimate millions of websites available online only a few of them are licensed, reputable and legitimate trustworthy operations. There of late has been an increase in the number of rogue online casinos on the internet and so players who jump into this gambling arena rarely have the opportunity of not getting cheated of their money at the hands of these predators.
It is a common misconception that these rogue casinos steal your money. They do not only steal the funds you deposit into the casino but they also ensure they track and capture your personal financial information and identity. In short, they take everything you got. This is certainly not worth the risk. Now does that mean you need to leave risk taking and gambling? No, not at all! There are ways by which you can avert rogue casinos and stop becoming their unwilling prey. You just need to learn how to question everyone and everything involved in the online gambling industry. This is why you should make an attempt to look for a trusted online gambling guide that can give you valuable insight into these casinos.
Now, the first step to take is to select the ideal online casino to play in or check the casino guide you refer to. There are vital questions that need to be answered first before you start taking a particular online casino in your consideration.
You first need to check into whether the online casino is licensed or not. This important point will always be mentioned on the website of the online casino. Check the site and find its licensed details. If it is not on the website, than this is a bad sign. You will find that most high-quality gambling websites like Bonusgeek.com will not suggest or even recommend online casino gambling websites that are not licensed. Besides their license online casinos should also display several regulating agencies that have audited them for practices in fair gaming. This is another significant feature that the team of Bonusgeek.com checks when it comes to the recommendation of online casinos to visitors.
The second important question you need to ascertain is the platform that is deployed for the online casino. There are 6 major mainstream online casino software solutions that are reputed for their high quality gaming experience. They include RTG or Real Time Gaming, Microgaming, Rival Gaming, Vegas Technology, PlayTech and Top Game. Now, these gaming platforms do promise you a lot of features like a super gaming interface, excellent graphics, functionality and features however they do not indicate that the casino website is one that caters to ethical or integral standards. This means the above should not be the sole deciding factor to make a selection without considering the other criteria that has been mentioned herewith.
The next feature of the online software you should check into is its customer service. Is its customer service available through a number of contact features? It is very challenging for you to contact an online casino. There are several rogue casinos that will make it literally impossible for you to contact them. They will never list a phone option nor have a live chat feature. Those online casinos who do provide phone contacts will never answer your call and most of them time you will get a busy tone.
An exhaustive online gambling website will in reality have actually been in contact with every casino they feature. For instance the Bonusgeek.com team has made several varied inquires with customer support at each of the casinos featured in their reputed gambling guide. A gambling guide that has not done this check cannot be trusted at all. In case you make the choice to choose a gambling website without a guide it is advised you should go in for one that asks for the smallest deposit. This will make you avoid landing at a rogue casino and losing out a sum of money to any predator.
The next feature you need to determine is how efficient the cashier or the banking is at the casino. Do they provide you with multiple deposit method schemes? Are there hidden costs for withdrawals or deposits? It is very important for you to ask questions that are related to banking. This is very critical for your financial well-being. In case, you have the slightest hesitation or a bad feeling about a specific online casino it is recommended not to share your personal financial information with them at all.
In case you change your mind and are willing to take the risk you should opt for a trusted platform like Bonusgeek.com and consider opting for the e-wallet option that does not require you sharing your credit or debit card information directly with the casino at all. You can also be protected to a certain extent with a prepaid gift card or debit card. Before making any deposit into an online casino it is very important for you to review their withdrawal options and policies. It is obvious you do not wish to land up in a situation where it becomes easy to deposit and difficult to withdraw, do you?
You will find that many rogue casinos will deploy the above strategy. This implies it is easy to "check in" but extremely difficult for you to "check out" You should also read carefully fine print and check information about fees both the listed and hidden ones. This is another popular area where rogue casinos tend to take advantage of players. With regard to the banking practices it is advised for you to check on a trusted gambling guide with expertise in this area. Players should read more on deposits in a casino guide so that they are able to get trusted payment methods that are reliable too.
Another important factor you should take into account is your gut instinct. There are many players who often ignore their gut instinct. It is something you actually should never ignore. If you are not feeling right about something you should get out. Emotional responses are right ones and if you face one while browsing an online casino listen to it!
The next step you should determine is this online casino safe and secure for downloading? The software should not pose any serious threat to your computer. However, if you download a gaming software from a rogue casino there is a huge possibility of your computer receiving malware, spyware or even something worse. These types of attacks have been designed to extract personal financial information from your computer. They also are intended to get your internet history and file information. They are so smart that you will not even realize it till the day you walk into the bank and find your accounts wiped out and clean. To avoid the above, ensure you only play at those casinos that have been analyzed extensively and investigated by experts. Never make the mistake of banking on a rogue casino the results are disastrous!
From the above it is evident that there is not one single threat related to rogue casinos. None of them are easy to detect and clean up. There are so many entities that are anonymous that is becomes very difficult for you to track them down even if you contact the authorities. The bitter truth is if you have been victimized by a rogue casino there is nothing you can do about it.
This means prevention is better than cure and you should not become a victim of it in the first place. The first thing you should always remember is that such rogue casinos do not advertise their websites. They put on such an attractive font that the site becomes immensely appealing to players. This means you must be aware of the above and take help from a trusted and reliable casino online guide.
The online gambling guide you choose must extensively investigate the website. It is a review and gives you a clear picture of the inner workings of the website. This not only protects you but also gives you an idea on whether the specific online casino is in sync with your style of playing and preferences for the game. You must be aware of the online casino site so that you do not become a victim for your own fault. The above steps should be kept in mind. In short, last but not least BE SAFE!
Black Listed Casinos - The following listed online casinos are not recommended by us. playing at any of these casinos is risky and you should avoid it.
These casinos failed to meet with our minimum requirements from an online casino. to learn more about the requirements visit the how we rate page.
If you know of an online casino that should also be listed here lets us know.

Albert the Alien – Origins and Timetravel Adventures
by Trevor Mueller on March 29, 2013 at 12:00 am
In 2009, Josh Elder approached me to be a part of something big. Something HUGE. Something that would change my life forever.
Reading with Pictures, his non-profit organization that was using comics in an educational setting, and teaching educators how to teach with comics. He know that comics could play a huge role in education – heck, it's getting kids reading! – and wanted to prove that they could also contain an educational story with an adventure tale. Something educational in nature, but something that people actually wanted to read.
RWP logo
Reading with Pictures volume 1 became our proof of concept. And when Josh got me involved, he also invited me to pitch a story for the project. And this is where my life changed forever.
Growing up, I was not the popular kid. I didn't relate to stories of outgoing people. I was an introverted kid with an over-active imagination who loved comics – which, at the time, were not popular or mainstream at all. Most people didn't know who the X-Men were when I was growing up. Sure they had a Saturday morning cartoon show – but there was no live action movie, or video games, or much else to permeate them into the main stream.
Suffice it to say, I got made fun of a lot growing up. And I couldn't understand why. I felt like I had a target on my head that only everyone else could see. It was quite difficult, especially in middle school.
I wanted to create a character who was just like everyone else – except for obvious physical differences. However, he never let this hold him back. He had confidence, enthusiasm, and these qualities would take him and his friends / fellow students on adventures.
As a kid, I liked aliens, dinosaurs, sci-fi, and comedy – so I wanted to take all of these things and put them into a single story for the first volume of RWP.
And like that, Albert the Alien was born.
The final design for Albert
I had the idea for the character, and Josh hooked me up with an up-and-coming artist (but established colorist) named Gabriel Bautista. Gabe designed the character of Albert, his friend Gerty (originally named Alicia), and the school bully Wally.
Working with Gabe was incredible, and he put together several different looks for the character. But ultimately we settled on the design you see before you. Our numerous conversations over e-mail helped to establish Albert's gadgets and abilities.
He has a jetpack in his suit, a universal communicator / translator (which helps him with his English), a holographic projector in his chest, and even robotic arms (which were really more a product of freeing his hands during the final chase scene in the RWP story).
I pitched a story that had all of my favorite things growing up: While learning about dinosaurs in class one day, Albert the Alien whisks his class back in time to learn about them first hand. However, the teacher gets kidnapped by a pterodactyl. Albert has to use his superior alien intelligence and gadgets to rescue the teacher and get the class back to their correct time before it's too late.
Albert's enthusiasm would be his greatest strength and his weakness at the same time. And this would often become the theme throughout the later Albert adventures, which we'll get into in later posts.
Albert the Alien – in CGI!
Gabe and I enjoyed Albert so much, we couldn't let this be his only adventure – and our only collaboration together. Gabe would use the characters in various designs on his website, as well as show his friends who would create cool things like the CGI model you see above.
It took almost two years, but Gabe and I would put our heads together and come up with another Albert adventure. And it would premiere in 2012….

Albert the Alien in RWP v2 – In Progress
As I announced last week, Albert the Alien is going to be my primary comic focus in 2013. Partnering with regular artist Gabriel Bautista, we will be doing a story in the Reading with Pictures Graphic Textbook as well as launching a webcomic sometime in March.
To give you guys a preview of the work being put into the project, below are some sketches and sample pages for the RWP story.
As you may know, Reading with Pictures is a non-profit organization getting comics into classrooms. In 2010, Albert the Alien made his first appearance in the all-ages educational anthology, which was nominated for two Harvey Awards. He will be appearing in the second volume: The Graphic Textbook.
The story is called It's a Figure of Speech, and it's about figurative language. Since English isn't Albert's first language, he takes figurative language literally. This allows for a fun playground within a visual medium – and we're taking every advantage.
First off, we're going to have some new characters that are going to play a big role in the upcoming webcomic series….
New characters for Albert the Alien. From left to right: Jack Greyson, Gerty's astronaut father; Miranda Tam, student reporter; Draven Darkmoon, the artsy kid
Detail for Draven and Jack Greyson
Additionally, we just received editorial approval on the inks! Below are some pages and excerpts from the upcoming story, setting up the conflict and overall plot of the story.
For the kickstarter pledge drive for RWP v2, we had 3 slots for pledgers to be drawn into the comic. These pledge options sold out within days of going live, so they were extremely popular. On the page 1 example below, you can see two of the pledgers – the adults in the room.

Albert the Alien is coming along nicely, and we're making tons of progress on this front. I look forward to sharing more with you guys as we continue to put together the RWP v2 pages, as well as the webcomic work!

About Albert the Alien
With the announcement the other day about starting an Albert the Alien webcomic series in 2013 (likely launching in late March or early April), wanted to provide some background on the project. Today we'll talk about the premise of the story, as well as the main characters.
THE PREMISE:
Albert has come to Earth to lean about humans as the first intergalactic foreign exchange student. And when Albert's involved, even the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
THE CHARACTERS:
Albert is an alien from the planet Xevon VII, and is the first intergalactic exchange student on Earth. He's very excited to learn everything there is about human culture and our planet – and sometimes his excitement gets the better of him, as he doesn't often "look before he leaps."
He enjoys video games, pizza, and space surfing around asteroid belts. He currently lives with his homestay family, the Greyson's, and is best friends with their daughter Gerty.
GERTY GREYSON:
Gerty Greyson is a normal everyday human girl – who dreams about outer space! Her father is an astronaut, and her mother is a rocket scientist, so Gerty is very smart and interested in all things space and science.She often acts as the voice of reason for Albert, trying to keep his crazy antics from getting him into trouble. She also sticks up for him from the school bully, Wally McNally.
WALLY McNALLY:
Wally McNally is the meanest kid in school, and has decided to pick on every kid who is different from him – which is everyone! He particularly doesn't like Albert, and goes out of his way to terrorize him on a regular basis with his two goons in tow, Lugg and Ugg. However, Wally isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the box, and is often thwarted by his own actions in an often hilarious and embarrassing manner.

Albert the Alien – Coming Soon!
by Scott on December 20, 2012 at 12:57 am
Albert The Alien will be coming soon in early 2013…


The Sports Betting Tidal Wave is Coming Fast - Princeton Partners, Inc.
The underground Sports Betting market is estimated to generate at least $150 billion annually in the United States. My wager: I believe that yesterday's ruling by the U.S Supreme Court to legalize sports betting will unleash a tidal wave of growth in the sports betting market, while placing a boot on the neck of bookies and other underground operators. Based on the ruling, I foresee a tripling of the legal market in ten years or less. Cash-strapped states across the country will be hopping on the band wagon, starting with New Jersey, whose political and gaming industry leaders played a key role in the ten-year fight to make sports betting legal.
The Court determined that Congress' 1994 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act was unconstitutional because it trampled on states' rights to enact their own laws in this area. Now that it's legal and coming to a mobile phone near you, sports betting is going to affect everyone. People in leadership positions, from parents, pastors, and principals, to elected officials, doctors, and marketers, all need to understand the sports betting market and what may be appearing on the horizon.
Leading up to the decision, advocacy groups lined up on either side of the issue. The NFL, MLB, and other sports leagues were against legalization, arguing to protect the integrity of the game. Now that they've lost, the leagues and players associations will want to justify getting a small piece of the action. But, they have to define a rationale that is magnanimous to fans and society. Gaming companies, broadcasters, and media and data companies were behind legalizing sports betting, arguing that the free market is meeting human needs. Now, they want to compete to meet existing and latent market demand, while maintaining the belief that the downsides of the industry can be minimized. For example, they argue that big data technology can be deployed to detect fraud and prevent collusion and game-throwing behavior. Question: Who is going to pay for that, and how will that affect privacy and work-around behavior?
Technology and gaming companies and are getting ready to launch their campaigns fast. In fact, New Jersey politicians and gaming companies claim they will be ready for sports betting by Memorial Day, or July 4th. Clearly, this market is going to grow fast, and we have to ask how society and commerce will be impacted. Many casual fans who typically buy boxes at Super Bowl parties, but who never gamble in Vegas or AC, might be more tempted to bet on their favorite teams, and could lose their lunch money. How will brands react when chunks of disposable income are diverted from products to sports betting operators? How can parents and educators prepare kids for the barrage of advertising on their devices and at local convenience stores? How can the risks of sports betting be mitigated? What benefits can be crafted? Who is talking about the benefits?
Brands will have to think about how to prepare and respond to the approaching tidal wave in sports betting, too. Certain brands may appear to have a natural link to sports betting. They may see ways to leverage concepts that appeal to human nature's desire to compete, to win, to outsmart the house. But there is more than one bettor personality. So, even appealing to young male sports fans comes with risk. For example, millennials, including young male sports fans, are very interested in sustainability, social justice, improving society, and giving back. Brands will need to be careful about their goals, their promotions, their messaging, and even the contextual environments in which their advertising appears.
In any market, there are winners and losers. State governments will be able to use tax revenues to build more parks and invest in youth education and recreation. They will also have to up their budgets for gambling addiction. After all, government has a responsibility to help its most vulnerable citizens. However, in sports betting, only the most sophisticated bettors win 55% of the time. Overall, the house always wins. That's because on average, 19 out of 20 sports bets will be losing bets. With more cash going into media, gaming, and state governments, we have to think about the societal ROI.


this has confused me for a while, but i seem to have manage to avoid it (until tonight ) and admittedly i want a bit of a rant..
if your going on a straight two-way road, and you want to turn right at traffic lights, how do you know if the traffic coming towards you will stop or not?
i was driving down the road and went into the right hand lane to turn right. as i approached, the traffic lights went green and the car infront turned straight away. the cars coming towards me were a reasonable bit away, apart from one idiot ( ) who was blasting down the road at a good 50/60mph on a 30 road (i didnt realise just how fast he was going until it was too late). he was going so fast he went past the cars that were closest to me (who were far enough away from me so i could turn infront of them). admittedly, i did think that it was ok for me to turn because it was on green (it didnt have one of them green arrows that light up when you can turn, it just went green for both cars turning and cars going straight on), but they were obviously on green too and the car going fast carried on at the same speed and decided to blast the horn at me (why people do that and not slow down is beyond me).
so... if you approach traffic lights and your wanting to turn right, how do you know if the cars coming towards you are on green or red? because it seems to me that theres no indication at all it gets to the point where if you go for it and put your foot down, you get beeped. and if you sit there waiting to see if the people coming towards you are going to stop, you get beeped from the car behind because your light is on green.
so is there a system? or is it just guess work?
Are red light cameras also speed cameras?
yeah it happened to me on my lesson years ago and ive always been careful since. it confused me with the car infront going straight away, and the cars were going fairly slow apart from that one idiot, so i wouldve got away with it.
its awful if you dont know the place well, because everyone else expects you to know and when your a bit slow because your not sure, your guaranteed that someone will beep you.
sort it out road people!
It's not rocket science. If you have priority to turn right, with the vehicles coming from the other direction being stopped, there will be an illuminated arrow pointing to the right.
The (non directional) green light just allows you to cross the line. You then treat the turning right part as if it were a normal T junction or crossroads without traffic lights.
ahh.. so if theres no green arrow, the other cars wont stop? i thought some didnt have arrows if the cars the other way were on red.
If theres only a green circle on its own = You can only turn when there are no on-comming vehicles.
If theres a green arrow pointing into the turning = You can turn freely. Vehicles on the opposite should stop (they'll have a red light).
but im all good now...well with the roads i know!
It is not always like that. I have seen junctions with green arrows where you still have to watch out for oncoming traffic.
If it is just a green circular light, you treat it like a normal junction without traffic lights.
The green arrow pointing right is the only time the vehicles coming the other way towards you will stop.
If you can't be observant enough to notice the traffic light types, are you sure you should be driving?
There is not a single junction in the UK with a green arrow which would encourage you to cross the path of oncoming traffic when the oncoming traffic has a green light.
There are some with green arrows for straight on and left, and an additional arrow (which is only lit up some of the time) for turning right, but the right turn arrow will only be lit when oncoming traffic is stopped.
As someone working in Transport Planning I can say that either a) you're lying as that would not pass a safety audit and no sane signals engineer would allow that; b) something's gone massively wrong and you need to report this to your local authority so they can sort it out as it will inevitably end in disaster, or c) you've somehow got confused by the junction.
And as someone else said, it's not rocket science. A green indicative arrow shows that there will be no conflicting traffic movement for you to make your turn. WHO said "you've got enough to think about without having to look for a green arrow"....errr..it's not hard to see a bright illuminated green arrow which will be directly under, to the left, or to the right of the green light that you would've been looking at in the first place.
You should've learned the basics of signalised junctions in your driving lessons!
why must people be rude on here?! i was only asking a simple question!
If you are going down (so from right on the picture) from Hele Rd and want to turn into Broomhill Way there is a green arrow that will be green when traffic is going up Hele Rd (and traffic in Broomhill Way is on red) and red when cars from Broomhill Way are turning left or right.
UNLESS there is traffic light with a right turn arrow at the junction, you should ALWAYS expect give way to oncoming traffic at a crossroads.
I am VERY shocked you don't know this. You should look at the highway code and your theory again.
please explore the site on anything else you are ensure of and drive safe.
I don't feel I was being rude, but it does actually scare me slightly that people are able to pass driving tests whilst not knowing what I consider to be fairly basic rules of the road.
i know the basic rules of the road, and i wasnt actually told that on my lessons.
i had the same problem then and he had to brake for me. when i asked him how you know if the people coming towards you are on red or not, he said you dont know, you just have to be careful. so to me, there wasnt a way of knowing, because i wasnt taught it.
and when i said too many things to think about heres a brief list of the stupid things people have done in the past 2 weeks or so... walk out right infront of me as im waiting to turn, walking out infront of me as im actually driving, people going way too fast to stop (so then ive got to slow down while obviously thinking if the person behind me will stop), people taking corners so quick they end up on my side of the road... i could go on, but i think you get my point?
oh and sorry tofufi, i meant dobbs was being rude. apologies!
again... i asked my driving instructor when i was learning years ago. he didnt know, so i thought it was guess work.
Made a massive mistake whilst driving!! Please help ASAP!!

"It feels as though those involved have worked closely together, and the overall effect is powerful. (...) Unheard undoubtedly succeeds in igniting discussions that should be had about stories that shouldn't be silenced." - A Younger Theatre

Dormace Funk, Jr. (* 3. Februar 1941 in Amarillo, Texas), bekannt unter seinem Ringnamen Dory Funk, Jr., ist ein ehemaliger US-amerikanischer Wrestler und Wrestling-Trainer. Er ist der Sohn von Dory Funk Sr., sein Bruder ist Terry Funk. Er ist Erfinder des Texas Cloverleaf Aufgabegriffes und unterhält das Funking Conservatory, eine Wrestlingschule. Seine Schüler sind Teil einer !Bang! genannten Wrestling-Show in Ocala, Florida.

Funk Jr. trug den NWA-World-Heavyweight-Championship-Titel über eine Dauer von vier Jahren, was die fünftlängste Regentschaft dieses Titels bedeutet. Im Jahr 2009 wurde Funk gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Terry in die WWE Hall of Fame aufgenommen.

Karriere

Anfang
Dory Funk Jr.'s Wrestlingkarriere begann im Januar 1963, nachdem er seine College-Football-Karriere mit einem 15:14-Sieg mit seiner Mannschaft von der West Texas State University gegen die Ohio University beim Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas beendete. Funks erstes Match war ein Sieg gegen Don Fargo in Amarillo, Texas. In seiner Ecke stand der West Texas State University All American Jerry Logan, Fargo wurde von seinem Bruder Jim begleitet. Dory Funk Jr. erhielt zusätzliche Unterstützung durch das West Texas State University Football Team und die Amateurringer-Mannschaft der Tascosa High School, welches Dory als studentischer Trainer unter Coach James Kyle trainierte.

National Wrestling Alliance

Dory Funk Jr. kam 1968 zur National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) und gewann am 11. Februar 1969 die NWA World Heavyweight Championship von Gene Kiniski in Tampa, Florida. Diesen Titel hielt er die folgenden viereinhalb Jahre, die zweitlängste ununterbrochene Regentschaft für einen NWA-Titel (Lou Thesz trug den NWA World Title vom 27. November 1949 bis zum 15. März 1956). Dory und sein Bruder Terry sind das einzige Brüderpaar in der Geschichte, dass diesen Titel innehatte.

Funk Jr. verlor am 24. Mai 1973 die NWA World Championship nach einer unvollständig auskurierten Verletzung, die er sich nach eigener Aussage von ihm und seinem Vater bei einem Unfall auf dessen Ranch zugezogen hatte. Widersprüchliche Quellen lassen vermuten, dass dieser Unfall nur erfunden sei, weil Dory Funk Sr. nicht wollte, dass sein Sohn den Titel gegen einen anderen Face-Wrestler, Jack Brisco, verlor, weswegen das Match umgebucht wurde, so dass der Heel Harley Race Funks neuer Gegner wurde. Diese Behauptung diente möglicherweise lediglich als Erklärungsversuch dafür, dass er den Titel verlor. Race hielt den Titel nur einige Monate, bevor er ihn Brisco übernahm.

Funk Jr. trat in den 1970ern und frühen 1980ern in der NWA, hauptsächlich in den Regionen Mid-Atlantic, Georgia, Florida und den Zentralstaaten, an. Im Dezember 1984 bestritt er gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder Terry ein Tag-Team-Match gegen Bruiser Brody und Stan Hansen, welches später eine 5-Sterne-Wertung von Dave Meltzer erhielt.

Im Januar 1986 debütierte Dory (unter dem Namen "Hoss") an der Seite Terry Funks in der WWF. Bei WrestleMania 2 besiegten sie Junkyard Dog und Tito Santana. Terry verließ die Promotion kurz danach wieder, Dory blieb jedoch und bildete ein neues Tag-Team mit seinem "Bruder" Jimmy Jack Funk, welcher in Wirklichkeit nicht mit den Funks verwandt war. Dory Funk Jr. trat beim Royal Rumble 1996 noch einmal als Einzelwrestler in der WWF an.

Spätere Jahre
Heute leitet Dory Funk Jr. die Funking Conservatory Wrestlinkschule und lehrt dort seine Wrestlingmethoden. Einige seiner bekannten Schüler sind Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Christian, Lita, Kurt Angle, Mickie James, Edge, Ted DiBiase, Test, und Delirious.

Am 1. März 2008 besiegten Dory Funk und Nishimura ihre Gegner Genichiro Tenryu und Masanobu Fuchi in Funks Abschiedsmatch.

Am 16. Februar 2009 wurde bei WWE Raw bekanntgegeben, dass Dory und Terry Funk durch Dusty Rhodes in die WWE Hall of Fame eingeführt würden.

Bei TNA Today vom 1. April 2010 führte Dory Funk ein Interview mit Jeremy Borash.

Privatleben
Dory heiratete seine erste Frau, Jimmie, 1960. Die Ehe wurde 1983 geschieden. Sie haben drei gemeinsame Kinder und fünf Enkel. Einer seiner Enkel wird von Funk Jr. trainiert.

1989 heiratete Dory seine zweite und derzeitige Frau, Marti.

Thanks for your mention of my critique. Just so you know, I'm in contact with Jupiter Research right now and hope to be able to add some perspective to this issue next week.
Trevor, Your point about the lack of fear of publishing is well taken. Now that would be an interesting survey of people by age or experience. If the social scientists are correct the younger or more immersed in the new digital culture the smaller the fear to publish.
John - I think because I am an information junkie and like discussions etc that the digital world was just a no-brainer for me (mind you my passion for books and musty 2nd hand shops is undiminished).
Thanks Trevor. I think Lord Saatchi was using the 'death of advertising,' pitch as a device to be provocative, just as I used the phrase Lord Saatchi speaks 'utter rubbish." Both of us actually stepped back from fully committing to our initial opening. Which was why I used my phrase in the first place to illustrate the point you made, its easy to make "big bold predictions."
Hey, following on from my idea that its culture that makes us digital. What's your path to the new digital world?
And do you have any stories to tell of under 25's who have not made it there yet?
Excellent piece. We live in a world of rapid change across media, PR and advertising but its too easy to go around predicting the death of this or that in fact I think it is more of a copout than anything. Harder to do real analysis easier to make big, bold predictions.
BTW I'm 51 and I've had no trouble immigrating to digital!
Another classic although it hasn't even been released yet: The Long Tail by Chris Anderson.
Maybe the only disagreement between CGM research and Bill Neal is the use of the word 'research'.
I think you are right Doug, the reasons you might use consumer generated research would be different from traditional marketing research. If a company wanted to track rumors about its brand, the process of CGM monitoring will allow the company to react quickly to unsubstantiated rumors. If you want to know who are the most influential people in your industry's blogging community, tracking the conversations will reveal the influencers. And if you wanted more opportunities to find unique ideas blogging and CGM gives you amble content to review. See my post on a company called Informative on how their clients combine CGM research with traditional marketing research.
Interestingly, I've spoken with some experts in the field who tell me some of their clients have dropped traditional marketing research from their toolkit in favor of CGM research.
Maybe the companies dropped the marketing research because CGM research actually fits their original goals more succinctly than traditional marketing research ever did.
I made the connection between CGM research and marketing research when I discovered companies were using the feedback from customers to help make their products better. See the Macromedia case study on the blogging survey for an example of this in action.
The strength of blogs is their openness, to the audience, and their accessibility to search engines. The process of getting feedback, and conversation says a lot about your brand. And what that process says about your company and brand maybe more important than a single piece of feedback.
Maybe there's a lack of understanding of the goals of each type of research? I am reminded here of many of the discussion's I've had with PR people about how both PR and SEO fit into the new world of blogging. First we have to explain where we are coming from to know what we are talking about.
I am struck that one of the criticisms in Bill Neal's reply is that CGM research is "qualitative." Of course it is.
So, is the problem that some people are taking it as statisitcally valid quant research? I hope not. And if that's not the case, then waht, really, is the problem?
Just a note that the study of organizational adoption of innovations is pretty well-established. The five steps of the process in this literature are: 1. Agenda-setting - finding an organizational problem that may create a perceived need for innovation (this is where denial may fit in). 2. Matching - the innovation with the problem. 3. redefining - fitting the innovation (eg, blogging) through modifications and re-invention to the organization's structures and culture. 4. Clarifying - the relationship between the innovation and the organization ('how blogging helps us stay true to our focus on customers'). 5. Routinizing - the innovation becomes part of the company's activities and no longer has a separate identity. However, I think the affective stages of response Max describes are useful for those of us who have to deal with it. Two sub reactions I would put in the taxonomy are (probably as poorly directed anger responses: (1) Smother the baby - marshall all the resources one can to demonstrate why it won't work/isn't appropriate for the organization, and (2) devil's advocate it to extinction - just keep up the "yes, but..." and "what if'..." scenario spinning until you wear everybody else out.
Is Social Media Research Valid?
I cannot claim credit on that one, Tom Brashear, my director of market research came up with the idea. And did all the leg work. It's all about the team.
John - should have know that AMA/Boston would be riding the curve high with you leading the Chapter!
Hi Ben, thanks for the comment. I am curious, how many merchants do you have as customers? I have a continuing effort to determine the total number of company bloggers. And I believe that there are more larger company bloggers than smaller company bloggers. Also would there be anything about your company that would attract smaller companies that blog?
When my engineers decided to build the capability for blogs and RSS into our platform, I have to admit ---i thought they were crazy. We help local merchants leverage the internet, I just did not see them as bloggers.
I like the idea of the AMA/Boston market research panel. Though the market research SIG just did a panel on consumer generated media. However, we did not have the critique!
I think panel discussions are always better with a bit of controversy, don't you?
John - thanks for the shout out. I hope that Bill's interview encourages the research community to take a closer look at cmg as an additional source of information. Perhaps it might be an interesting program for AMA/Boston to put together?
What Does Blogging More Get You?
Easton, your point about originality is interesting, how can a blogger be original?
Thanks for mentioning my post on blog posting frequency. I'll learn more about the issue as I attempt to post three times a day for the rest of the weekdays this month. In the past, I've mostly done one post each weekday. I'll try not to "burn out" - I'll vary my post topics and simply lower that invisible fence that has kept my thoughts bottled up inside instead of spilled out onto my blog for the world to read.
Totally agree - the more others write about your topic of choice, the more you need to write about it to get noticed - or at least, the more originally you need to write.

One slip and it's a watery grave in the raging tributary to the Indus.
Passion is such an overused word but I don't know a photographer who is not passionate about what they do. They are certainly not doing it to get rich!
Anyone in a creative field needs that passion to excel whether they are writers, painters, cooks, winemakers or photographers. They are far easier ways to make a much better living but it all comes down to how you want to spend your life.
Along with movie star, travel photographer always used to rank as one of the most desirable dream jobs. Friends saw me jetting off to exotic destinations every month and even my mother back in England would always say "Have a nice holiday." If only they knew.
Bridges of Madison County didn't help the image of a travel photographer. Getting paid to travel the world, staying in luxury hotels and dining in 3 star Michelin restaurants every night, not to mention all those women throwing themselves at you had a certain appeal – if only it was true.
This is the reality. Magazines used to spend a lot of money in airfares, hotels, meals etc. to send you to cover a destination and you were expected to come back with the goods. No excuses. This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on you. I remember spending the month of June in Paris shooting for Bill Gates with an almost unlimited expense account and I would be out before sunrise at 5 AM and often not finish shooting until after sunset. One night I was still shooting Notre Dame at 11 at night and there was still light in the sky. I went out of my way not to screw up. No time for fun.
National Geographic assignments were the same. You know if you screw up it could be the last time you work for them and it's a surprisingly small world and the word soon gets out.
The Karakoram Highway had only been open for a few weeks. Talk about a scenic highway!
The first job I did for Geographic was in Northern Pakistan. I spent 4 months in the Karakoram Mountains living in a tent. This was a typical protein filled lunch and yes, I did eat it!
The terrain was exceptionally dangerous and I was caught between two feuding villages about 3 days apart. Hispar, a village with a notoriously volatile population of under 500 clinging to the edge of civilization, was where I had to hire porters. A couple of years previously the whole village had been put on probation for abandoning a Japanese climbing expedition and stealing all their equipment. The hike into Hispar had taken 3 days and I had continued along the Hispar Glacier to the Hispar Pass at 17,000 ft., several days past the village. On my way back I came down with amoebic dysentery and collapsed back at the village. I had to stay in a hut on the outskirts of the village as non-muslims had never been allowed in. My friend, photographer Galen Rowell, had tried to get into the village several times and never been able to. After a few days, for some reason, the villagers relented and allowed me to walk around their village but first made sure all the women were inside. I developed a close relationship with many of the men and being able to assimilate is one of the secrets of being a successful travel photographer. But then things went horribly wrong.
The final bridge across the melt waters from the Hispar Glacier. And you think our roads are bad!
An ongoing feud escalated between the people of Hispar and the people of Nagar the next closest village with which there was no road access. A porter was sent from Nagar to "rescue" me and get me out of there. A young Nagari, Ali Haider, had accompanied me on several treks through the mountains and now he was thrown into this volatile situation. We were immediately put under house arrest on the edge of the village with a guard posted to keep his eye on us. I now felt like a traitor to these former friends and the last thing I wanted was to get caught in the middle of this.
It was Ramadan and we knew that as soon as the sun set everyone would rush inside to eat. That included our guard. We surreptitiously packed our gear ready for a quick escape. The time came and we hit the road as quietly and quickly as possible. Not quietly enough. Someone in the village heard us and soon a small posse of villagers was chasing after us. They reached us before we got to a major river crossing and started to physically attack young Ali. They ignored me but I jumped in swinging my ice axe and they retreated from this crazy foreigner and went back to the village to gather reinforcements. These were guys that wouldn't think twice about throwing you into the raging river a couple of hundred feet below us.
It was now dark and we traveled without lights along the mountain trail that had taken us 3 full days to negotiate on the way in. It was a moonless night and the only light was from the stars. Soon we could hear a gang of people coming along the path after us and occasionally see their lights in the distance. I have never moved so fast in my life. We sped across almost non-existent trails and around midnight Ali went off the path to a hidden shelter he knew high on the mountainside. I was still weak from the dysentery and needed to rest. We could hear them for at least another hour and then everything went quiet. I didn't sleep a wink that night and kept hearing imaginary sounds of lynch squads coming to get us.
We set off again before dawn and arrived back in Nagar in just under 24 hours!
A couple of years ago I was in Laos traveling close to the Chinese border. I wanted to photograph some of the remote hill tribes and the more inaccessible the better. We started in Luang Numpta, a nondescript village where the bone rattling bus from Luang Prabang deposits everyone after a nauseating 12-hour drive. The morning before we left for the mountains we had to stock up on provisions and walked over to the local market along muddy and potholed streets. I always carry a camera with me and my Nikon D4 was swinging over my shoulder. I jumped a particularly evil looking mud patch, my foot caught the far side of it, both my feet shot out from under me and I fell flat on my back in the mud hitting the back of my head in the process. The embarrassment and pain were the least of my problems. My Nikon with a 24-70 f2.8 lens attached smashed onto the ground snapping the lens off the camera body leaving me one body and an ultra wide angle zoom. I had to adapt.
The trek into the village was steep, hot, humid and long. I wasn't feeling the greatest after my fall and a heavy backpack was the last thing I needed to carry. I struggled up the mountainside barely being able to keep my balance. In fact I didn't keep my balance and took a couple of nasty tumbles. Nevertheless, for me the photographs always justify the suffering.
I would return in a heartbeat. I've always found the most satisfying journeys have been the most difficult. I enjoy a challenge.
One of the hill tribe women in her finest outfit.

Kotys III, właśc. Tyberiusz Juliusz Kotys II Filokajsar Filoromajos Eusebes (gr.: Τιβέριος Ἰούλιος Κότυς Φιλόκαισαρ Φιλορώμαίος Eυσεbής, Tibérios Ioúlios Kótys Filókaisar Filorṓmaíos Eusebḗs) (zm. 234) – król Bosporu z dynastii Asandrydów od 227 do swej śmierci. Najstarszy syn i spadkobierca Tyberiusza Juliusza Reskuporisa II Filokajsara Filoromajosa Eusebesa, króla Bosporu.

Kotys III otrzymał imię na cześć prapradziadka ojczystego Tyberiusza Juliusza Kotysa II Filokajsara Filoromajosa Eusebesa, króla Bosporu. Przez swego ojca miał perskich, greckich, rzymskich i trackich przodków. Był potomkiem różnych dynastii i rodów: pontyjskich Mitrydatydów, syryjskich Seleucydów, macedońskich Antypatrydów, macedońskich Antygonidów, trackiej dynastii sapejskiej, Antoniuszów rzymskich. Poprzez triumwira rzymskiego Marka Antoniusza, był spokrewniony z różnymi członkami rzymskiej dynastii julijsko-klaudyjskiej, pierwszej dynastii rządzącej cesarstwem rzymskim.

W 227 r. Kotys III objął tron po śmierci ojca. Na bitych przez niego zachowanych monetach tytuł królewski w języku greckim brzmi ΒΑCΙΛΕѠC ΚΟΤYΟC ("[Moneta] króla Kotysa"). Był ostatnim królem panującym o tym imieniu. Podczas swego panowania był współczesny rządom cesarza rzymskiego Aleksandra Sewera. Dwa lata później Kotys zaczął rządzić razem ze swym prawdopodobnie młodszym bratem, Tyberiuszem Juliuszem Sauromatesem III. Dzielił się z nim władzą do jego śmierci w 233 r. Żoną Kotysa III była nieznana z imienia szlachetna kobieta. Nic nie wiadomo, czy to małżeństwo miało potomstwo.

Podczas jego panowania wybijano ostatnie złote monety bosporańskie. Po jego rządach, zaniechano bicia złotych monet. Zastąpiono je brązowymi lub srebrnymi monetami. Mało jest znanych informacji na temat jego panowania i życia. Kiedy Kotys III zmarł w 234 r., został zastąpiony przez Tyberiusza Juliusza Reskuporisa III i Tyberiusza Juliusza Inintimajosa Filokajsara Filoromajosa Eusebesa, prawdopodobnie synów jego młodszego brata Sauromatesa III.
