TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- China's netizens quickly became outraged after Chinese supermodel Liu Wen posted "Happy Lunar New Year" on her Instagram page instead of "Happy Chinese New Year," first reported BBC.
On Monday (Feb. 19), the 30-year-old Chen posted an image with herself and the ex-wife of Rupert Murdoch, Wendi Deng Murdoch and typed seemingly benign and short message, which simply read, "Happy Lunar New Year!!!" Though Chen, may have been trying to be more inclusive of her fans from countries that have similar lunisolar new year's traditions besides China, it was Chinese netizens that quickly leaped the Great Firewall of China to flood her page with negative comments for excluding "Chinese" in her post.
In Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Vietnam and other countries outside of China in East Asia, the English term "Chinese New Year" has fallen out of favor and has been replaced with the term "Lunar New Year" as the preferred term to describe the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar in English, as it does not imply a specific nationality. However, in the latest salvo in an ongoing war on political correctness by Chinese netizens, multiple critical messages typed in Simplified Chinese characters, indicative of users from China, soon surfaced on the post.
Chinese netizens criticized Liu for turning her back on her country and her heritage by excluding "Chinese" from her message. They also blamed Vietnamese and South Korean netizens for insisting on using Lunar New Year instead.
However, other netizens, including some Chinese, came to her defense saying that the use of "Lunar" was not technically wrong, as it is indeed based on a lunisolar calendar, and wrote that she was justified in using it as neutral term to include more fans in Asia enjoying the holiday, both Chinese and non-Chinese.
Nevertheless, Liu caved into pressure from her countrymen and changed it to say "Happy Chinese New Year" instead.

The Bjorgvin Dramatic Club presented a play last Saturday in Bjorgvin Hall. The play was the humoristic piece by C. P. Riis, "Til" (Mountain Life). The play has been presented several times before, yet so many people sought admission to the presentation that many had to be turned away.
Mr. Christ Olsen is the director and has succeeded in gathering together quite a group of actors. The Bjorgvin Dramatic Club is able to do better work in 2the humoristic line than the Danish troupers who have offered their wares of late. It is to be hoped that the Club will get up enough energy to present something new soon.
The Norwegian National Association began its annual meeting in Sleipner Hall last night. Various reports were presented and accepted; some current business was disposed of, and officers were elected for the coming year.
During the past year nine meetings were held--six regular meetings and three special. The board of directors held eighteen meetings; the Seventeenth of May committee, fifteen.
At the beginning of the year the Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundsen, visited Chicago on his lecture tour through America, and one of the vice-presidents of the Association, Mr. Lasse Grundeland, gave a brief speech of introduction at Mr. Amundsen's....lecture in Wicker Park Hall.
On February 17 the Association's annual banquet for delegates and invited guests was held. The banquet, which was most successful, was arranged by a committee consisting of Messrs. S. Huseby; L. Halse; A. Amundsen. The speakers on this occasion were Consul F. M. Gade, Dr. Anders Doe, Judge Oscar M. Torrison, Mr. A. Abrahamsen, Mr. M. Clausen, and Editor A. B. Lange. The 4ladies' quartet, Echo, sang and a ladies' orchestra played during the festival.
On inquiry from the Nordmands Forbundet (Norsemen's Association) in Christiania, Norway, as to whether the Norwegian National Association would join the Norsemen's Association, the secretary was instructed at the meeting on March 2 that the Norwegian National Association is restricted by its constitution from making decision in a matter of this kind since the individual societies within the Association have retained the right to decide for themselves.
In April, the Norwegian Singing Association, together with the Norwegian National Association, gave a concert at Orchestra Hall for the benefit of the building fund of the Norwegian Orphanage, after a fire had destroyed the Orphanage buildings on Irving Park Boulevard. The committee on arrangements consisted of an equal number of members from the two Associations, the presidents of which.... functioned as active chairmen of the committee, with Mr. John Anderson, publisher 5of the Skandinaven, acting as honorary chairman. The accounts show that the concert gave a net income of $954.15, with some small amounts yet to be added.
The speakers of the day at Brand's Park were Mr. William Jennings Bryan and Judge O. K. Torrison... After the speeches in the Park, the ladies served refreshments. The festival was attended by more than twelve thousand people and was a success in every respect.
On July 22, the Norwegian National Association sent a protest to the Board of Education against the announced result of the census just taken by the Board in Chicago. This census gave the number of Norwegians in the city as 42,816, while the census taken by the Government in 1900 showed 59,898 Norwegians in Chicago. The Association pointed out that the number at this time, in all probability, is greater than in 1900. The justification of the protest was acknowledged by the Board and copies thereof were ordered sent to all the members of the Board.
At the same meeting a proposal to hold a festival in the fall was voted down. The reason was that the Association did not wish to deviate from its practice of arranging festivities only for the Seventeenth of May festival unless special occasions were to demand united action by the societies, or unless the condition of the treasury were to make such united action necessary. For similar reasons, and also in order to prevent unnecessary competition with the individual societies, the board of directors has found it unwise to support motions advocating the acquisition of real estate and the erection of a hall to be used by the Association.
In November the board of directors made an unexpected visit to the Norwegian Orphanage on Irving Park Boulevard. At the following meeting of delegates, the board reported on the excellent state of order, cleanliness, and care prevailing at the Orphanage, and it was resolved that the delegates should visit 8the bazaar of the Orphanage as a group on some definite evening.
The North-West Improvement Association became involved in political party strife, and it was therefore resolved to withdraw the National Association's representatives from the Improvement Association because the laws of the Norwegian National Association forbid participation under such circumstances.
By request the National Association has sent representatives to the Women's Trade Union League of Illinois, Immigration Department, and the League for the Protection of Immigrants. The superintendent of the employment office was sent to the former organization, and Mr. John J. Sonsteby was sent to the latter as a temporary representative (until the act can be endorsed by the Association). Mr. Sonsteby was elected to the board of directors of the League for the Protection of Immigrants.
At the beginning of the year the board of directors adopted a seal and an 9emblem for the Association. This action was later ratified by the vote of the delegates of the Association.
On Sunday, December 27, a committee consisting of Mrs. Marie Malmstrom, Mrs. Nicoline Oyen, and Mrs. G. Wallentin distributed Christmas presents to the children of the Norwegian Orphanage. The Association had voted fifty dollars for this purpose.
As will be shown by the books, the Association has, during the year, rendered support to various benevolent organizations in Chicago. It has also pledged the amount of one hundred dollars toward the erection of a monument in Norway for the late Premier Johan Sverdrup.
The report from the employment office shows that the work of the office has prospered during the past year. Because of changes in the form of monthly reports, the statistics of the attached report refer only to the period from 10April 1 to November 30, at which date the year of operation for the employment office ends.

The Norwegian Turner Society held a pleasant social on Sunday evening in the Society's gymnasium at the Park Casino. The large hall had been given a festive air by the decorations executed by Sverre Dietrich and Chester Thorson. Norwegian and American flags and colors met the eye wherever one turned and on the long northern wall appeared the letters D. N. T. in red, blue, and white.
At 10:30 P. M. the march to table began, Mr. and Mrs. S. Huseby heading the procession. Mr. G. Martin functioned as toastmaster and....performed his task well. The food was excellent; Mr. Lippmann, the host of the Park Casino did himself proud in the meal he served.
The first speaker of the evening was the president of the Norwegian National Association, Mr. Birger Osland, who in appropriate words spoke in honor of 2Norway. The speech was vigorously applauded.
Attorney Olaf Ray called attention to the importance of the turner movement in a speech entitled "We Norwegians". He claimed that the turner movement is not being shown sufficient interest in our country, and that Norwegians of means do not contribute as much as they ought to the Norwegian Turner Society in Chicago. We are ready, he said, to aid the children by building orphanages; we help the old people by building homes for the aged. All of this is very good, Mr. Ray said, but it merely means that we co-operate in so far as the outer points of life are concerned; on the other hand, we pay but scant attention to the organizations which teach us to live.
To emphasize his assertion, the speaker referred to conditions in Japan.... The Dutch ambassador to Tokio was to be transferred to the United States and before moving he went to make his farewell visit to the famous General Nogi. He found the General's wife at home, and she told the Ambassador that her husband was at work....He was teaching gymnastics in the public school. The Ambassador later found the General busily instructing a class of boys under 3fourteen years of age in gymnastics.
If athletics were lent as great interest in America, Mr. Ray said, the results would soon be apparent. America would have strong, healthy young people.
Mr. Ray's interesting speech was listened to with rapt attention and was rewarded with strong applause.
The social concluded with dancing. Mr. Lawson's orchestra furnished the music.

In the Fullerton Hall of the Art Institute the Germanistic Society of Chicago opened last night its second series of lectures. Dr. Alexander Franz of the Commercial School of Frankfort A. M. gave a lecture about Jena and Sedan. Speaker declared that those days which expressed the deepest disgrace and the highest glory for Prussia on the one side and for the Napoleonists on the side, had been caused by conditions, which in 1806 were in Prussia nearly the same as 1870 in France. The Prussian Army in 1806 rested on their laurels from the time of the great King. The knowledge of the art of war was missing. No reserve system for officers and men was kept, the officers were old and unfit for service. The recruiting system was still in force and 2/3 of the army were Poles, who did not understand German. Napoleon had the best men acquired by conscription. They were well paid. The chance to be advanced to a field marshal and the enthusiasm for the Emperor made every soldier do his best.
In the year 1870 the picture reversed to the favor of Germany. Napoleon 2had no equal army to the German conscription. The French Chassepot rifle however, was superior but the equipment of the Prussian troups was superior. The French were too sure of their victory and Napoleon confined himself to the defense. The French army of Mar Mahon at Sedan was encircled by the 3rd and 4th army, lead by the crown princes of Saxony and Prussia.

It is an old custom in the newspaper world at the beginning of a new year to entertain readers with a survey of the publication's past accomplishments and program for the future, and we do not deny that on such occasions there is a temptation to exaggerate the former and become overambitious in regard to the latter.
As far as Svenska Tribunen-Nyheter is concerned, a review of the past year is encouraging and should assure continued improvement, progress, and victories, without undue bragging and lofty promises. During the past year we have further secured our prominent position among the country's many Swedish-American newspapers, due to the fact that we are fully aware of and do our best to live up to our great responsibilities as an impartial organ for our Swedish-American public. In spite of the poor times, our mailing list has increased, and we have won many new subscribers not only in American but also in the old fatherland, as 2well as in other foreign countries. New features and improvement of the old ones have been introduced; more timely illustrations and pictures than ever before have been printed, and in almost every department new ideas have been tried out. In this connection we particularly want to point to the series of colored illustrations accompanying the column under the title "From the World of Phantasy to Reality," which was initiated a few weeks ago.
Editorially as well as in our general reading material, we follow a truly liberal policy with due respect for the opinions of others and a desire to be humane and do justice to everybody, without permitting our outlook to be misdirected by reactionary or egotistical considerations. In this respect our past record may be taken as a true indication of future action.
There is not much to be added concerning our program for the year which has just begun. We shall, of course, always continue to improve our plant and product whenever and wherever possible, within such limits as our financial situation permits.
Also this year the interests of our readers shall come first, editorially as well as in the choice of general articles and news items, and all sound and sincere efforts toward human betterment may count on our support.
We shall in the future, as we have done in the past, champion the cause of the real producers, the farmers, and industrial as well as other workers, and support them in their struggle against exploitation by the powerful corporations. The most important items on our program are: Freedom, Justice, and Tolerance. Reaction, in whatever form it may appear, we shall always oppose.
The past year has been a rather difficult one for all newspapers, and not least for the Swedish-American publications. Expenditures have increased in spite of generally falling commodity prices, and for this reason many American dailies and periodicals have been forced to raise their subscription rates, but we shall continue to give full value for one dollar per year. This low price was set in accordance with the low production costs which prevailed a few years ago. But at the present time the price of paper, wages in the printing trade, and almost 4everything else connected with the publishing of a newspaper are higher, and it is due to the increase in sales that we are able to maintain this low price. But we are barely making ends meet, and we hope our subscribers will cooperate with us by paying their bills promptly.
We have this year presented every subscriber with a calendar and an alamanac, more attractive and with more interesting contents than ever before.
We want all our friends to know that we sincerely appreciate the encouraging support which they have given us in the past, and hope that they also will stand by us in the future.
Svenska Tribunen-Nyheter pledges itself to do everything within its power to justify their confidence.

With great joy all friends will hear that the progressive Greek brothers, Theodore and Basilis Chamales, owners of the Savoy, have bought another restaurant for $15,000.00 at 286 S. State Street near the Greek-American restaurant of Mr. Koutsoumbos.
Loxias wishes them long life and huge profits.
Our well-known friends, A. Stathas and J. Kosmopoulos, have opened billiard rooms at 78 North Clark Street. They have one of the biggest establishments on the North Side.
The Greek Star has just done a wonderful and philanthropic deed. In order to help the poor Italians suffering from the earthquake, the Star promised free subscriptions to those bringing in donations to help the sufferers.
Kind-hearted Greeks went from store to store, collecting what they could. After the money was handed to the Star, the publisher presented it to a prominent American organization interested in the Italian situation.
"Here is $200," he said, "a donation from the Greek Star."
This is a false statement we would like to correct. This money is a donation from the Greek people of Chicago, not from the Greek Star. The Greek Star was very wrong in doing what it did. Instead of giving the money to an American organization, it should have sent it directly to the Italian Consulate from the Greek people of Chicago. Why? Because we Greeks have much in common with Italians and owe them many courtesies. When the money comes from us, Italy will thank us for it and a mutual feeling of friendliness will prevail.
The Greek Star lost considerably in not seeing this because it probably would have gotten a letter of thanks from the Italian Government, if it had not been so hasty. Now the American organization will take all the credit.

The Republicans of the United States claim for themselves credit for the virtuous and honest administrations, while their opponents do not offer such confidence as to industry, work, and prosperity of the citizens in general during their administrations.
Our paper, mindful of the principles of McKinley and particularly those of Republicanism, has with all its ability, from August 12 to November 2, never ceased, in every weekly issue to support the Republican Party efficiently and disinterestedly. Other Greek papers of our city, supposed to be Republican, expected (after such obligations and public appointments of its publishers) to receive money in advance, not to fight for principles, but to write about the party. That is a shame. As characters, those writers, and we say this in a public way, cannot be called true Republicans, but are bought bluffers, who, giving no support 2to the progressive party of the country, are looking out just for the interest of their own pockets.
Loxias stands with pride today, because it voiced principles, for the sake of principles and not for the sake of money.

WEST HAM have set their sights on Toulouse defender Francois Moubandje.
The Hammers could lose Aaron Cresswell in the summer, with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hoping to lure the 26-year-old to Anfield.
And Express Sport understands Moubandje is high up on West Ham's shortlist of potential replacements should Cresswell opt to leave.
The Switzerland international will enter the final year of his contract in the summer and is looking to leave as Toulouse face relegation from Ligue 1.
Moubandje, who has made 26 appearances for the French strugglers this term, is keen on a move to the Premier League and West Ham can snap him up on the cheap.
The 25-year-old is available at just £1.6million due to his contract situation, but would demand a significant improvement on his current £3,900-a-week deal.
Hammers manager Slaven Bilic, though, remains confident that Cresswell will remain at the east London club for years to come.
He said: "Aaron is having a great season and was Hammer of the Year last year. Aaron improved defensively and is almost a complete player now.
"He naturally became of interest to so many good clubs. I spoke to him.
"First, he is under contract and second, and more importantly, he is really happy here and can't wait for the future. Hopefully, he is going to stay with us for a long time."

The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) has a new boss in Pradeep Singh Kharola, a mild-mannered 1985-batch IAS officer. His career is on a high - the coveted posting follows a Prime Minister's award for excellence in public administration earlier this year. Kharola, 52, thoroughly understands both technology and urban transport. A postgraduate from IIT Delhi, he has, in an earlier stint, headed the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation, until last year the only profit-making urban transport entity in India. He wants BMRCL's metro system to become fully operational at the earliest. The metro is already running along a small stretch, but Kharola wants to open another 11-km stretch in the next two months. "We want to open the entire 42-km metro under Phase I in less than two years," he says. That will make a big difference to commuters in the southern city of close to nine million.

Subrotah Biswas wants to change the general perception about Logitech, which began as a computer peripherals company. He wants to spread the word that it has morphed into a lifestyle product provider. The Swiss company recently launched Ultimate Ears, a new range of headphones - with both 'in ear' and 'over the ear' variants, and Bluetooth speakers. The company has also unveiled a new line of gaming peripherals, dubbed the Logitech G series, which includes a variety of keyboards, mice and headphones. A factory in China handles production for the entire Logitech range worldwide. An avid football player from his BITS Pilani days, Biswas, 41, Director, India and South-West Asia, Logitech, also coaches one of the teams participating in the Delhi international football league, which was started by expats and runs from October to February. His team won the division in his very first year as coach.

Good on Yer, Mate
Joe King has taken over from Michael Perschke as the head of Audi's operations in India. Perschke helped Audi become India's No.1 luxury car maker, but Australian-born King believes retaining that position will be his toughest job yet. "It is often harder to sustain the position than to become No.1," he says, but adds: "If you do the basics well, you can stay there." In his previous assignment as head of Audi in Australia, King's focus was to build customer loyalty. In India, he intends to do the same - concentrate on retail channels and relationships with customers. He finds two striking similarities between Indians and Australians, he says - both love sports and are eternally optimistic.

Appy at Work
There has been one fringe benefit for Soujanya Bhumkar since India became a big market for his app , which enables users to browse and share photos from multiple sources. The 40-year-old California-based Founder and CEO of Cooliris now gets to travel to India and meet his family in Mumbai more often. "I am here at least five times a year," he says. The 3D gallery concept of Cooliris, earlier known as PicLens, was initially ahead of its time but later got picked up for Android. "We just let users link all their sources and put in the missing pieces, allowing them to collaborate and share with others." he says. The Cooliris app is now a one-stop-shop for all media files, and will soon have premium features, as well as featured partners, both of which, Bhumkar hopes, will start bringing in money as well.

Oil Is Well
His colleagues admire D.K. Sarraf for his formidable number crunching skills, hands on approach at work and multitasking abilities. Now Sarraf has been named to take over as Chairman and Managing Director of Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) once present incumbent Sudhir Vasudeva retires in February. He currently heads ONGC's overseas arm, ONGC Videsh Ltd (Ovl). "I am crossing every bridge as it comes. Right now it will not be appropriate to speak much," he says of his impending appointment. Sarraf's role was critical in taking OVL to gas-rich Mozambique, where it recently acquired a 20 per cent stake in a gas field along with Oil India. OVL has struck deals worth over $11 billion in Sarraf's tenure.

Batgirl: Warner Bros. Casts In the Heights Star Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon
Ba Ba Ba Ba Barbara Gordon.
byJ. Kim Murphy
Posted July 21, 2021, 10:32 p.m.
Warner Bros. and DC have found their Barbara Gordon. Leslie Grace has been selected to play Batgirl in the superhero's upcoming solo film, as reported by Deadline.
It was reported earlier this week that Warner Bros. and DC were testing several actresses to play the DC heroine, with Dora and the Lost City of Gold star Isabel Merced and Zombieland: Double Tap's Zoey Deutch also featured on a shortlist for the role. Warner Bros. reportedly had a high opinion of Grace after her performance in the studio's musical In the Heights and an impressive audition cinched the deal.
Batgirl will premiere exclusively on HBO Max, along with an upcoming Static Shock solo film. The pair of DC adaptations represent an effort by DC to expand their storytelling beyond theatrical releases. Both Batgirl and Static Shock will have connections to DC's established live-action cinematic universe, though DC Films president Walter Hamada has described the projects as "riskier" endeavors better fit for the smaller budget of a non-theatrical release.
Batgirl was first announced in 2017, with Joss Whedon attached to write and direct. After Whedon left the project in 2018, Warner Bros. has since hired Adil El Arbi and Billall Fallah, the duo that helmed 2020's Bad Boys for Life. Bumblebee writer Christina Hodson is attached to pen Batgirl.

Investors and securities firms struggle with tax
Update: July, 18/2015 - 09:07
At the moment, shareholders have two problems. First, they still have to pay taxes, even when they suffer losses from trading shares. Second, receiving bonus shares for dividends will cost shareholders more in taxes than receiving cash for dividends if they exchange bonus shares for cash. — Photo vtc
HA NOI (VNS)— Investors and securities firms are struggling with two taxes the Government imposes on their bonus shares, Dau tu chung khoan (Securities Investment) newspaper reported earlier this week.
Investors are the ones being directly affected by the tax policies. Under the Law on Individual Incomes, shareholders have to pay two taxes for their bonus shares. One of the two is equal to 5 per cent of the share value when investors receive bonus shares as dividends, and the other is 0.1 per cent of the total trading value when those shares are sold.
These taxes reduce investors' benefits or profits, and they could lead to unfairness between securities firms, as some of them only collect taxes from their clients' trading activities.
At the moment, shareholders have two problems. First, they still have to pay taxes, even when they suffer losses from trading shares. Second, receiving bonus shares for dividends will cost shareholders more in taxes than receiving cash for dividends if they exchange bonus shares for cash.
Investors said they should be charged one tax instead of two when they received bonus shares for dividends, and the Government should not impose taxes on them when they sell bonus shares on the market.
They said removing a tax would help reduce the gap between securities investment and other sectors in which investors pay less or no taxes for their activity, including the banking sector.
On the other hand, securities firms have to deal with more challenging problems – they have to deal with both clients and Government agencies.
According to the General Department of Taxation, a company doesn't have to collect taxes from bonus shares when they pay them to shareholders as dividends. But the company must collect two taxes from investors when they sell their bonus shares.
The problem for securities companies arises when investors don't accept that they have to pay two taxes on a single transaction.
Investors also question their brokers, accusing them of too strictly following the rules while other brokerage firms skirt them, making their investors pay only one of the taxes.
Thus, those firms that follow the rules are facing complaints from their clients, who feel they're getting fewer benefits.
Nhu Dinh Hoa, director general of Bao Viet Securities Joint Stock Company (BVSC), said the securities market could decrease, making such tax policies discouraging for investors and securities firms.
He said listed companies had already paid individual income taxes when they paid dividends to shareholders. This meant it was unreasonable to collect more taxes from shareholders' bonus shares.
If companies paid bonus shares from their capital surplus, which is created when the company issues shares at higher than face value, investors wouldn't have to pay taxes for those bonus shares because the company only returned the initial investment to shareholders, he said.
If the securities firms could not distinguish bonus shares from initial shares, they would be unable to collect taxes from trading activities between investors, Hoa said. In addition, investors could avoid paying taxes by changing their accounts from one brokerage firm to another after receiving bonus shares. — VNS

Upon landing at Wink Bingo and opening its virtual doors, you'll be enchanted and bewitched by the website's '50s flair, which includes sugar, spice, and everything nice. But don't confuse its whimsical interface with a lackadaisical attitude towards customers and service. On the contrary – Wink Bingo is famous for its excellent customer support, plethora of bingo and slot games, top-notch security, and bonus offers that any blue-blooded Brit would appreciate.
We've written the following Wink Casino review to give you an overview of this exciting bingo venue, which is a brand owned by the long-established and world-famous 888 Gaming Group.
For players outside the UK, Wink Bingo holds a licence from the Government of Gibraltar. It is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission under licence number 39028, so all gambling enthusiasts can expect safe and secure gaming at this venue. Read on to find out everything you need to know about Wink Bingo before opening up your account.
Now let's divert our attention to the Wink Casino website. The whimsical '50s pop-art design of the interface on the bright white background offers a fresh and retro flair that's not so common among the predominantly sleek, blackish websites you'll see for most online casinos. But despite the in-your-face graphics, there's nothing confusing about Wink Bingo.
On the contrary – we've never seen such a user-friendly interface with clean and neatly organized tabs, an easy-to-navigate games section, and bingo games, slots, promotions, and Wink Rewards listed underneath. All the options are at your fingertips; the "join now" and "login" buttons are easily accessible on the right, so you'll be up and running in no time.
If you're out and about, worry not: the Wink Casino mobile bingo app is an awesome way to play your favourite bingo games on the go. The app works on Android and iOS phones and tablets, and downloading it from the App Store or Google Play is a breeze. Those who prefer not to download apps can log into the web-based bingo site and play bingo and slot games from the browser.
We strongly believe that Wink Bingo is one of the best online venues for playing bingo. If you have any doubts about that, read our two cents about Wink Casino bingo promotions to see whether this venue offers what you're looking for.
Newbies who open the doors of this virtual bingo lobby for the first time will be greeted with a generous 100% first-deposit bonus worth up to £400 once you deposit your first 10 quid (or more). This consists of a 200% bingo bonus and a 200% games bonus. For the first, you'll only need to wager the deposit and bonus amount twice, while for the latter, you'll have to wager the bonus amount 50 times.
Rookies aren't the only ones Wink Casino cares about; Wink Casino bingo bonus offers are more than enough to keep regular players interested. With every deposit of £10+ you make, you'll get to spin a wheel that could win you up to 100% in bonuses.
There are numerous seasonal promotions such as free spins on top of your wins on Fluffy Favorites, Daily Dash prizes and gifts, Wink's Happy Hour, and Rewarding Wednesdays. You can even earn loyalty points and cash them out for a shopping spree in Wink's Shop.
Selection of Games
At Wink Bingo, you'll find more than 470 bingo and slot games. Wink Casino bingo games include 75- and 90-ball games and five-line bingo, along with bingo chat rooms and massive jackpots. Some of the different bingo games on offer include classics like High 5, Pretty Penny, and Limited 24. Games are provided by renowned developers like Microgaming, NetEnt, and Thunderkick.
As for slots, Wink Casino offers classical and niche games, but you can opt for new ones among the best collection of slots. You can't go wrong with Rainbow Riches, Jack Hammer 2, and Raging Rhino, which is our top pick.
You already might be sold, but we'd encourage you to keep reading our Wink Casino review. We're happy to report that this bingo venue also offers table games like roulette and blackjack, as well as a live casino section with baccarat, three-card poker, and dream catcher. Who could resist that collection?
If nothing so far piques your interest, fret not; you can always pick a scratchcard and win thousands of quid. Oh, and let's not forget the free bingo games you can play if you're not into depositing cash for Mystery Jackpot or YoYo.
Okay, you're convinced, so let's not beat around the bush. Hit the "Cashier" button (or "Banking", if you're using the app) and choose one of the five payment methods. With Wink Casino bingo, you can deposit and withdraw your money using all major payment cards, including Maestro, Visa, and Mastercard, or eWallets such as Netletter, Entropay, PayPal, and paysafecard.
The minimum deposit and withdrawal amounts are £10 and you'll be able to pay and cash out in no time; however, it takes 48 hours to process your request for withdrawals to your bank account. You'll then have to wait an additional four to seven working days to get the money in your hands.
We can already foresee you winking with pleasure once you realize that you probably won't ever need to reach out to Wink Casino bingo customer support thanks to the site's incredible UX. Everything works so smoothly and is so self-explanatory that you shouldn't have any issues.
If you do encounter any problems, you can reach out via email or the toll-free phone number (for UK residents) every day from 10 a.m. until 2 a.m. Unfortunately, there isn't a live chat option, which is pretty standard for competitors. However, we think the incredibly detailed "Help" section with explanations and engaging and entertaining blog posts will be more than enough to answer all your questions.
So, what are you waiting for? Head to Wink Bingo and start having fun!

Foreclosures For Sale | Brevard County Florida
"Many seller's agents will continue to show the property to potential buyers up until the very last minute, in hopes of obtaining an even more compelling offer," says Gary Malin, president of Citi Habitats in New York City.
Five hurricanes have directly affected Brevard since 1950: David (3 September 1979); Erin (2 August 1995) – made landfall near Sebastian Inlet and caused mostly minor wind damage and more extensive flooding countywide; Charley (13 August 2004) – caused damage in Titusville and North Brevard; Frances (3 September 2004) – struck neighboring Vero Beach in Indian River County directly and caused widespread wind damage throughout Brevard;[30] and Jeanne (26 September 2004) – struck Vero Beach directly, following very nearly the same path as Frances. The latter two storms caused widespread damage in South Brevard, and resulted in $2.8 billion in claim payments.[31] Slightly more than half of one percent (0.6%) of houses were lost.[32]

The Multiple Listing Service, or MLS, is a collection of private databases developed and maintained by local real estate professionals that make it easier for professionals to market their listings to cooperative brokers. When a property is listed in a local MLS it is assigned a number, in chronological order of the listing. It is possible for two separate listings, listed in two separate MLS databases, to share the same MLS number. After being assigned an MLS number, the active listing is included on Realtor.com, a real estate website designed for consumers that features active real estate listings throughout the country.
Inc. magazine selected two local small companies as among the fastest growing in the country over the past three years – Applied Global Technology (nearly 100% annually) and Stops (nearly 200% annually).
The company developing West Viera gained state permission and county acquiescence to create a self-governing board that could raise taxes and sell bonds to pay for roads, water lines, pumping stations and other infrastructure needed to support the construction of 16,500 houses, apartments and condominiums. The company proved that development could fund itself.[164]
The winter of 2009–2010 was the coldest on record since 1937 when records were first kept.[36] Planting season, which normally starts around 14 February, came six weeks later instead.[37] Some flowers and herbs are planted as early as January.[38] December 2010 was the coldest December on record.[39]
The county has nine major canals. Some of these, such as the C-1 and C-54, are 100 feet (30 m) wide, giving them the capacity to handle excessive rainfall that may accompany tropical storms or hurricanes.[12][13] These are regularly used for transportation and drainage:

The primary purpose of an MLS is to provide a facility to publish a "unilateral offer of compensation" by a listing broker, to other broker participants in that MLS. In other words, the commission rate that is offered by the listing broker is published within the MLS to other cooperating brokers. This offer of compensation is considered a contractual obligation, however it can be negotiated between the listing broker and the broker representing the buyer. Since the commission for a transaction as well as the property features are contained in the MLS system, it is in the best interests of the brokers to maintain accurate and timely data.

There is no major urban center.[8] The county is unofficially divided into three sections: North County, comprising Titusville, Mims and Port St. John; Central Brevard, which includes Cocoa, Rockledge, Merritt Island, and Cocoa Beach; and South County, which includes Melbourne, Palm Bay, Grant, Valkaria, and the South Beaches. The South Beaches is a term that measures direction south from the dividing line of Patrick Air Force Base, and includes South Patrick Shores, Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, Indialantic, and Melbourne Beach.

The future of MLS in the UK: The future of the MLS in the UK is uncertain at the time of writing (2017). With most home buyers beginning property search online via nationwide property portals,[23] it would seem that the requirement for property sharing between agencies is significantly diminished. Large UK property portals vastly improve liquidity in the residential real estate market by connecting buyers with agents in an information-rich environment. In essence, horizontal sharing of inventory between agents – formerly conducted through the MLS – is now replaced by a vertical interaction between estate agents and centralised advertising portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla.

"We cannot think of anything Leslie could have done better in the sale of my late father's home. While his home was beautiful and in a fantastic location, it was very dated and we live 400 miles away. Leslie knew the local market, gave us a realistic opinion of the value and put a lot of time and thought into what our priorities needed to be in order to sell the house quickly. She respected our thoughts and concerns throughout the process. The contractors she recommended for the updates did a great job. We have never had a real estate agent keep us as up to date as Leslie did. As closing approached, she went out of her way to assist us in tracking down the necessary documentation and signatures which was a huge help as we work and are so far away from Brevard. The most important things to me were that she was a pleasure to interact with and we came to trust her more and more as time went on."

The Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) is the master's degree that is required for most professional librarian positions in the United States and Canada. The MLIS is a relatively recent degree; an older and still common degree designation for librarians to acquire is the Master of Library Science (MLS), or Master of Science in Library Science (MSLS) degree. According to the American Library Association (ALA), "The master's degree in library and information studies is frequently referred to as the MLS; however, ALA-accredited degrees have various names such as Master of Information Studies, Master of Information, Master of Arts, Master of Librarianship, Master of Library and Information Studies, or Master of Science. The degree name is determined by the program. The [ALA] Committee for Accreditation evaluates programs based on their adherence to the Standards for Accreditation of Master's Programs in Library and Information Studies, not based on the name of the degree."[1]

With all this information in mind, you need to already perceive that an Iceland mail order bride is the rarest of gems on the planet of on-line courting. A tougher query to answer could be why Iceland beauties log on seeking a husband? After all, this nation doesn't lack anything, in order that they cannot be striving for better living circumstances. Neither are Iceland ladies socially stigmatized for not getting married — so they can remain single so long as they please and, one day, hope to run into their perfect match nearer to home. Nowhere on the planet will you find women who take marriages so lightly.
Everyone who is ready to tell the reality, must admit that Icelandic girls are outstandingly ignorant and apathetic about all public affairs. If a girl takes a powerful curiosity in politics, is is practically at all times the case that a man carefully related to her, husband, father, brother or sweetheart, has passed on his views to her. A specific focus of IWRA is gender equality in politics, the office and in education.
Iceland's conventional turf homes
It is therefore fairly obvious that parliament was primarily afraid of women ― afraid that an extension of the franchise would result in a radical re-shaping of the structures of energy. The women's slate was victorious on the polls, receiving 22 % of valid votes forged and four of the 15 councillors. Women in Reykjavík entered a slate at every election until the election year of 1918, successful a seat on the council typically.

Reputation and 'being the nice girl' aren't a priority for Icelandic women. You may need guessed it by now that just like different gender issues, feminine sexuality just isn't taboo in Iceland.

Q: MemoryCache and multiple per call WCF services Is using the MemoryCache class a valid option if I want the cached data to be visible across multiple WCF services (with PerCall instance mode)?
There are two cases:

*

*the services are all hosted in the same app in IIS

*the services are hosted in different IIS applications on the same server

A: 1.the services are all hosted in the same app in IIS
the answer is yes   if you are using MemoryCache.Default as your default cache object
From MSDN
This property always returns a reference to the default cache instance. For typical application scenarios, only one instance of MemoryCache is required.
you could  use it like the following
ObjectCache cache = MemoryCache.Default;

Is it possible to configure it in  the following way
<system.runtime.caching>
 <memoryCache>
  <namedCaches>
   <add name="Default" physicalMemoryLimitPercentage="20"/>
  </namedCaches>
 </memoryCache>
</system.runtime.caching>

from your others services instance you can access your memory cache like the following
List<string> cacheKeys = MemoryCache.Default.Select(kvp => kvp.Key).ToList();

foreach (string cacheKey in cacheKeys)
          MemoryCache.Default.Remove(cacheKey);

2.the services are hosted in different IIS applications on the same server
this will  be a bit tricky but it will remains a valid option you can create a dedicated webservice for caching that can be used by others webservices using the netnamedPipeBinding given that are on the same server

Especially for athletes who undergo high-impact, extremely strenuous training, soreness and injuries related to overuse of the muscles and tendons can be difficult to avoid. Athletes typically put excess strain on one particular area of their bodies, depending on the athlete's specific sport. For instance, a runner might suffer constant knee or hip pain, while a weight-lifter might experience soreness in the neck and shoulders. No athlete wants to get behind on their training due to such injuries. However, when the body is put under so much strain, it is nearly impossible to avoid an injury of some sort. Remedies such as sports massage can help relieve the athlete's aching body and allow them to return to their sport as soon as possible.
Although sports massage is primarily reserved for athletes, this practice has other uses as well. Many people suffering from any muscle-related pain will see a sports massage therapist to help alleviate the affliction. The purpose of sports massage is to relieve soreness and discomfort caused by overexerted muscles, and it can be useful for regular citizens and athletes alike.
Sports massage therapists will generally use one of two massaging techniques in order to provide pain relief to injured or sore muscles: Deep Swedish massage or Shiatsu. With deep Swedish massage, the therapist uses a combination of smooth strokes, kneading pressures, circular motions, and various percussion movements that force the muscles to relax and release fluid waste. In Shiatsu massage (a Japanese-derived procedure), the massage therapist stretches the afflicted muscles and then applies direct pressure to the areas of greatest resistance.
Sports massage is oftentimes administered to athletes before they undergo a particularly strenuous workout, race, or sports game. By massaging the muscles and tissues which are going to be abused during the sporting event, the massage therapist can help prevent the muscles from freezing up, cramping, or suffering injury. On the day of the event, usually between four and five hours before the athlete must perform, the athlete is given a ten to fifteen minute deep massage that loosens the muscles and enables the athlete to move more fluidly. The athlete is then given another massage within half an hour of the event to ensure that his or her muscles are completely relaxed. Many athletes additionally see a pre-event sports massage as a way to mentally prepare themselves for their competition.
Sometimes, an athlete might begin to feel acute pain in their muscles during his or her event. In some cases, these athletes are able to receive a brief sports massage during a break or time-out to help relieve the pain. These massages are very quick and usually can last no longer than roughly five minutes. While such hasty sports massages generally cannot provide nearly as much relief as a longer, more extensive massage session, they can serve to tide an athlete over until more in-depth treatment can be administered.
The bulk of sports massage sessions are performed to treat a pre-existing injury or ailment. After an athlete has completed a game or workout, he or she might see a sports massage therapist to relieve pains caused by repetitive stress. Persons who are not athletes will also receive a sports massage for muscle soreness derived from other causes.
After suffering acute stress, the body's muscles will sometimes seize up or retain an excess amount of acids. This can cause mild to extreme pain in the injured area. Sports massage helps to alleviate this pain by gently forcing the muscles to relax, simultaneously pushing excess fluids out of the afflicted tissue. Post-stress sports massage both relieves immediate pain and helps the muscles to repair themselves correctly. These sports massage sessions are typically the longest and the most in-depth, with lengths ranging from thirty minutes to over two hours.

White Shoe: How a New Breed of Wall Street Lawyers Changed Big Business and the American Century
John Oller (Author)
FORMAT
Hardcover$30.00(English)

The fascinating true story of how a group of visionary attorneys helped make American business synonymous with Big Business, and Wall Street the center of the financial world
"Entertaining."--The Wall Street Journal - "Fast-paced history."--Library Journal - "Insightful and revealing.--Kirkus - "Captivating."--BookPage
The legal profession once operated on a smaller scale--folksy lawyers arguing for fairness and justice before a judge and jury. But by the year 1900, a new type of lawyer was born, one who understood business as well as the law. Working hand in glove with their clients, over the next two decades these New York City "white shoe" lawyers devised and implemented legal strategies that would drive the business world throughout the twentieth century. These lawyers were architects of the monopolistic new corporations so despised by many, and acted as guardians who helped the kings of industry fend off government overreaching. Yet they also quietly steered their robber baron clients away from a "public be damned" attitude toward more enlightened corporate behavior during a period of progressive, turbulent change in America.
Author John Oller, himself a former Wall Street lawyer, gives us a richly-written glimpse of turn-of-the-century New York, from the grandeur of private mansions and elegant hotels and the city's early skyscrapers and transportation systems, to the depths of its deplorable tenement housing conditions. Some of the biggest names of the era are featured, including business titans J. P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller, lawyer-statesmen Elihu Root and Charles Evans Hughes, and presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and Woodrow Wilson.
Among the colorful, high-powered lawyers vividly portrayed, White Shoe focuses on three: Paul Cravath, who guided his client George Westinghouse in his war against Thomas Edison and launched a new model of law firm management--the "Cravath system"; Frank Stetson, the "attorney general" for financier J. P. Morgan who fiercely defended against government lawsuits to break up Morgan's business empires; and William Nelson Cromwell, the lawyer "who taught the robber barons how to rob," and was best known for his instrumental role in creating the Panama Canal.
In White Shoe, the story of this small but influential band of Wall Street lawyers who created Big Business is fully told for the first time.

John Oller is a retired white shoe Wall Street lawyer who spent thirty years as an associate and then partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, one of New York City's most venerable law firms. His books include American Queen: The Rise and Fall of Kate Chase Sprague--Civil War "Belle of the North" and Gilded Age Woman of Scandal and The Swamp Fox: How Francis Marion Saved the American Revolution. He lives in Manhattan.
"Entertaining."--The Wall Street Journal
"Captivating... If Oller once wrote dry, impenetrable legal briefs, there's no hint of it here. His narrative sparkles with details that set this study of the legal profession's influence on big business into a fascinating historical context."--BookPage
"One of the most anticipated books of Spring 2019"--Publishers Weekly
"A valuable addition to the literature on America's transformation during the Gilded Age."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A lucid account of the rise of the modern law firm and the concomitant rise of the modern corporation . . . insightful and revealing."--Kirkus
"This fast-paced history of the period from the white shoe perspective will be both entertaining and enlightening for most readers."--Library Journal
"In White Shoe, John Oller traces America's earliest super lawyers, hard-charging Wall Streeters who tilted history in the building of the Panama Canal, the birth of gargantuan American businesses, and the pursuit of world peace. A riveting portrayal of the swaggering advocates who deftly pulled the most important strings while raking in the biggest fees."--David O. Stewart, author of The Summer of 1787 and Impeached: The Trial of President Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln's Legacy
"John Oller has written a book both unique and valuable: a secret history of the original White Shoes, the lawyers of the Gilded Age. Everyone has heard of J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller, but few are aware of the attorneys who did their bidding, figures such as Paul Cravath, Francis Stetson, William Cromwell, and Elihu Root. In sparkling prose, Oller captures their clever courtroom connivances, but also their surprising commitment to reforming the very system they fought to uphold. A highly illuminating read."--Justin Martin, author of Greenspan: The Man Behind Money
"Well written and meticulously researched, White Shoe documents the rise of the big American law firm, the modernization of its management, and the men who led them during the early twentieth century. It should be on the shelf of anyone interested in the development of the American legal profession."--Herbert Hovenkamp, Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania School of Law and The Wharton School, and author of Antitrust Law

Q: A new process based on a markov chains and a gaussian process I have a hard time trying to solve this exercise :

Suppose that we have the CTMC $X(t)$ at the stationnary state such that
$$ Q_X = \begin{bmatrix}
-\lambda & \lambda \\
\lambda & -\lambda
\end{bmatrix}
 $$
We build the process $Y(t)$ like that
$$Y(t) = \begin{cases}
0 &\text{ if } \;  X(t) = 0 \\
A &\text{ if } \;  X(t) = 1
\end{cases}
$$
where $A \sim \mathcal{N}(0,1)$.
a) Find the density functionf of $Y$ : $f_{Y(t)}(y)$ for all $y \in\mathbb{R}$.
b) Find the $\mathbb{E}[Y(t)]$.
c) Find the aucorrelation function of $Y$ : $R_Y(\tau)$.

I think that b) could be solve with the density of $Y$ but how can we deduce the density of $Y$ ? Does anyone have a hint ?
Also I don't see how to solve c) even with the density. In fact the problem is really confusing for me, I'm not sure that I understand the problem well : if $X$ at time $t$ is at state $0$ then $Y$ takes value $0$, but if $X$ at time $t$ is at state $1$ then $Y$ is  distributed with a normal distribution ?
Any help is welcome, thanks !


In our plan, the Brisbane CBD Protected Bike Grid will run along four streets in the CBD and link to existing bicycle facilities. It will enable anyone from ages 8 to 80 to safely ride a bicycle within the CBD of Brisbane. The grid will bring Brisbane into line with other world cities including New York, London, Paris, and Sydney which have recognised the benefits of providing safe, separated and protected bike lanes to allow people who want to get around by bicycle to do so safely and conveniently.
Cities which have installed protected bike lanes have found people are attracted to ride bicycles, reducing the number of motor vehicles in the city. Cities have found protected bike lanes have other benefits too including making the street safer for all users, and increasing economic activity for businesses located along the routes.
bike lane already built on George Street and it is great! It just needs extending.
The many benefits of protected bike lanes.
Cities in Australia and across the world are installing protected bicycle lanes and realising the benefits in making cities safer, healthier, smarter and more liveable.
Protected bike lanes get more people riding bikes.
Protected bike lanes are safer for everyone.
Protected bike lanes are good for business.
The Australian Heart Foundation supports protected bike lanes because of the benefits for health from cycling. The latest report of the Chief Health Officer of Queensland: Health of Queenslanders 2014, records that 2.5 million Queenslanders are of excess weight. The report sadly records that Queensland has the highest adult obesity in the nation, 10% greater than the rest of Australia. https://www.health.qld.gov.au/cho_report/ . The report blames obesity on the environment we live in as well as eating too much of the wrong food and moving too little. The Brisbane City Council can't do much to influence its citizen's dietary choices but it can influence how we move by providing transportation choices.
THe Chief Health Officer's report states that "With just over half (56%) of Queenslanders being physically active enough to achieve health benefits, we need to provide built environments, legislation, policies and programs that support people to be active". The Brisbane CBD need not be an obesogenic environment and with protected bike lanes the CBD could easily be a healthful environment which encourages people to use active and sustainable transport.
Most cities now recognise that substandard bicycle infrastructure which requires people to ride in the door zone of parked cars or close to heavy motor vehicle traffic won't increase ridership. A national survey by the Heart Foundation and the Cycling Promotion Fund found 60% of Australians had a bicycle and over half of these people would like to cycle for transport but do not because of unsafe road conditions; speed and or volume of motor traffic and the lack of bicycle lanes. http://heartfoundation.org.au/images/uploads/publications/Cycling-Survey-2011-Riding-a-Bike-for-Transport.pdf Regardless of the health, environmental and economic benefits of getting around by bicycle, no one will ride it if they think they will be killed doing it.
The Brisbane CBD Protected Bike Grid addresses all of these safety concerns and will help assist Brisbane realise its active transport goals of 2.5 % of transport journeys by cycling by 2016. (page 3 of the Brisbane Active Transport Strategy 2012-2026).
Currently the North East corner of the Brisbane is a highly intimated area for people to access via bicycle. Accessing premises along Ann street can be quite difficult for three simple reasons: a 60km/h speed limit, it follows a ridge and exceedingly poor connection to the existing river edge paths. The Proposed Ann St protected bikelanes would solve these issues and provide for a cycling gateway to the Valley from the Brisbane CBD. Our proposal is a for a safe, separated & protected bidirectional bikelanes to run along the North West side of the Street. This would have no effect on existing Bus Stops or the peak hour bus lane that runs along the south east side of the street. It would result in the removal of just 27 on street car spaces, 8 loading zones, 3 taxi zones & 1 bus layover zone.
Accessing the CBD premises on the South-East corner of the CBD from the North-West at the moment is slow and awkward. In many cases it can be quicker to make a detour via Southbank then to ride, for a new world city access to any location should be quick and easy. The proposed George St protected bikelanes would solve these issues and provide for a cycling gateway to the North from the Brisbane CBD. Our proposal is a for a safe, separated & protected bidirectional bikelanes to run along the North-East side of the Street. This would have no effect on existing operating Bus Stops affecting only one stop that is currently no longer in general use. It would result in the removal of just 12 on street car spaces, 5 loading zones, 1 taxi zones & 1 bus layover zone.
Edward St should be cycling gateway for the Brisbane CBD for people coming from the South and East but it is not. The one-way nature of the street means people coming from the south and the east, have to make lengthy detours to access premises inside the CBD. The Proposed Edward St protected bikelanes would solve these issues and provide for a cycling gateway to the South & East from the Brisbane CBD. Our proposal is a for a safe, separated & protected bidirectional bikelanes to run along the North East side of the Street. This would effect 3 existing full time Bus stops and 2 peak hour only bus stops however this could be resolved with the installation of floating bus stops as used overseas to great effect. It would result in the removal of NO on street car spaces, 12 loading zones, 3 taxi zones & 1 bus layover zone.
Margaret St should be a pleasant inviting urban street with it's increasing residential developments but instead is marred with high traffic noise and speed deterring all but the very keen from riding on it. The Proposed Margaret St protected bikelanes would solve these issues and provide for a cycling connecter tying the network together providing a connected network. Our proposal is for safe, separated & protected bidirectional bikelanes to run along the South-East side of the Street. This will have no effect any existing bus stops. It would result in the removal of just 38 on street car spaces however there is many off street car spaces provided, also 12 loading zones would be affected as would 1 on street citycycle station.
