Miami Club accepts a variety of methods with Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin the easiest!
Miami Club Casino is an online casino which accepts Australian players. Miami Club Casino provides a much different punting experience, because it uses WGS Technology (formerly Vegas Technology) software.
Deckmedia NV Casinos, which owns sites like Spartan Slots, Box 24 Casino, Black Diamond, and Uptown Aces, is the owner of Miami Club Casino. Deckmedia launched the site in 2012 and it has built a nice reputation in that time. Ask Gamblers, the customer-reviewed casino rating website, only has a dozen complaints from online players. All of the complaints have been satisfactorily resolved — which is almost unheard-of on Ask Gamblers. Australians looking for a novel real money online casino experience with a reliable operator should try Miami Club Casino.
Miami Club Casino has 10 different deposit options and 6 different withdrawal options. Major credit cards, web wallets, and blockchain payments are accepted. Deposit minimums are reasonable, while no max deposits exist.
The withdrawal methods include Bitcoin, three top e-Wallets, checks by courier, and bank wire transfers. Checks have a $30 fee and bank wires have a $60 fee, but the other cashout methods are free. Bitcoin has a 48-hour wait period, which is more than one would expect. Otherwise, the withdrawal times are standard for the online casino industry.
Miami Club Casino has promotions available for new players and longtime, loyal players. New depositors receive an $800 welcome bonus in 8 easy installments. Continuing players receive the benefits of the Daily Reload Bonus, which includes bonuses for deposits every day of the week. The Miami Club Casino Loyalty Program gives players points every time they make a bet, so your play turns into cashback and rewards.
New depositors receive a $800 welcome bonus in 8 easy installments. On each of your first 8 deposits, if you add $100 you'll receive a bonus $100 at a 100% match rate. The minimum deposit level to receive bonus cash is $25, so remember to make a deposit of at least $25 or more every time. The wagering requirement is 40x the bonus amount. Only craps, roulette, and baccarat are excluded from the bonus. Blackjack and video poker count towards the wagering requirement.
Australians can accept all bonuses at Miami Club Casino. If Aussies happen to travel abroad while playing, remember that players from eight countries cannot receive bonuses while in those countries: The Netherlands, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Mauritius, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine. Bonuses cannot be combined, but Miami Club Casino has a lot of ongoing daily and weekly bonuses. That means you can move on to those promotions once the welcome bonus playthrough is complete.
Miami Club Casino also has a daily reload bonus each day of the week. In many ways, this is more important than the welcome bonus, because it is redeemable many times over. The weekend match bonuses are best, but players receive bonus cash anytime they make a deposit. The standard 40x wagering requirement applies on most ongoing bonuses.
The Miami Club is the loyalty program at the site. The Miami Club has 6 tiers: Flamingo, Downtown, Bay Front, South Beach, Ocean Drive, and Millionaire's Row. Those who choose the $100 Welcome Bonus enter the Miami Club automatically. Each time you make a $100 over the next seven deposits, you'll receive a 100% match bonus. Real money play from the instant you make a deposit unlocks more Miami Club points. Collect enough Miami Club points and you'll receive premium rewards, bonuses, and other benefits.
Now that you see the deposit options and bonus offers, you might be interested in creating a player account. To create a real money player account at Miami Club Casino, follows the steps in this guide to signing up. Once you get to the casino site, you'll have an account within 5 minutes.
You'll only need to verify your information by clicking on a verification email sent to the address you give when you register an account. Here's how to initiate the process.
Sign Up: Go to the Miami Club Casino homepage. Click on the Sign-Up link in the top right corner of the page. Fill out the registration fields, which include questions on your personal and contact infomation.
Login: Now that you have a player account, log in to Miami Club Casino and go to the deposit page. To do so, click on your account page and then click "Deposits". Choose a banking method, confirm payment, and accept the $800 bonus offer.
Play for Real Money: With a funded account, you'll be playing for real money in minutes. Click on one of the broad games categories on the left side of the page, then choose the casino game you want to play.
Cash Out: Once you're cleared the wagering requirement on the $800 bonus offer and you have some winnings, click on your account page to make a withdrawal. Click on the withdrawals link, choose a payout method, and you'll be paid promptly.
The game sections are laid out a bit different than most casinos. On the left side of any page, you'll find categories like 3 Reel Slots, Video Slots, Video Poker, Blackjack, Table Games, Other Games, and Progressive Jackpots. If you want to build a list of favorites games, you can build your own queue with the "My Games" page. In the next few paragraphs, I'll provide a list of the casino games you'll want to try.
The 3-Reel Slots page has the 3-reel classics or 3-reel spinners, as they call them in some countries. This list of games uses video pokie technology, but otherwise play like traditional poker machines with the old-fashioned 3-reel game mechanic. The jackpots aren't as big, but the house edge is smaller and the jackpots come quicker. In all, Miami Club casino has 32 three-reel pokies.
If you want the kind of 5-reel pokies that are so common in brick-and-mortar casinos these days, click on the "Video Slots" category. Here you'll find 98 different video slots. These games have more winning combinations, more paylines, more bonus features, and bigger payouts. Here's a selection of the most popular 5-reel online pokies at Miami Club Casino.
Miami Club Casino has 9 variants of single-hand and multi-hand video poker, including the most popular games with the best odds. The basic multi-hand video poker games allow punters to choose between 2 to 4 hands. In addition, bettors can enjoy 10-hand versions of Jacks-or-Better or Joker Poker. Bump-It-Up Joker Poker and Bump-It-Up Jacks or Better is a novel set of games which gives players 8x the jackpot when the top level of play is activated.
Miami Club Casino also has 8 variations of blackjack. That includes Vegas Strip, Downtown Vegas, and Atlantic City blackjack. It also includes Progressive Blackjack, which is classic blackjack played with a progressive side bet. At the moment, Progressive Blackjack's progressive jackpot sits at $64,000.
Excluding blackjack, Miami Club Casino's has 6 table games. While that doesn't sound like a bunch, the site has most of the essential table games. The list includes craps, European roulette, American roulette, Red Dog, Tri-Card Poker, and Caribbean Stud Poker. Punters looking for a bit of a jolt should try Caribbean Stud Poker, because it has a progressive side bet worth nearly $40,000 at the moment.
Miami Club Casino's specialty games section is called "Others". Once again, this section doesn't have many games (2) in it, but they're important. One is Keno, while the other is Reel Poker Slots. Reel Poker Slots is what happens when you cross a progressive poker machine with Texas Hold'em Poker. It's an instant win game with a progressive jackpot ($27k) and one of several from WGS Technology. Hopefully, Miami Club Casino adds the others, which cross poker with roulette, poker with craps, and so on.
Players who want to enter pokies tournaments, you should click on the Tournaments section. Enter any of the events listed under the Slots categories to play pokies in a competitive tournament event. The Tournaments page also has events for blackjack, keno, and video poker.

Criando uma cena

O objetivo dessa seção é dar uma breve introdução ao three.js. Nós iremos começar configurando uma cena (scene) com um cubo giratório. Um exemplo é apresentado no final dessa página, caso você precise de ajuda.

Antes de começar

Antes de começar usar o three.js, você precisa de algum lugar para mostrá-lo. Salve o HTML abaixo em um arquivo no seu computador, junto com uma cópia do [link:https://threejs.org/build/three.js three.js] na pasta js/, e abra o arquivo no navegador.

		<!DOCTYPE html>
		<html>
			<head>
				<meta charset="utf-8">
				<title>My first three.js app</title>
				<style>
					body { margin: 0; }
				</style>
			</head>
			<body>
				<script src="js/three.js"></script>
				<script>
					// Our Javascript will go here.
				</script>
			</body>
		</html>

Isso é tudo. Todo o código abaixo vai dentro da tag <script> vazia.

Criando a cena

Para realmente ser capaz de exibir algum conteúdo com o three.js, nós precisamos de três coisas: cena (scene), câmera (camera) e renderizador (renderer), para que possamos então renderizar a cena com a câmera.

		const scene = new THREE.Scene();
		const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera( 75, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 1000 );

		const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
		renderer.setSize( window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight );
		document.body.appendChild( renderer.domElement );

Vamos tirar um momento para explicar o que está acontecendo aqui. Nós temos agora configurados a cena, nossa câmera e o renderizador.

Existem alguns diferentes tipos de câmera no three.js. Por enquanto usaremos a `PerspectiveCamera`.

O primeiro atributo é o `field of view`. FOV é a extensão da cena que é vista na tela em um dado momento. O valor está em graus.

O segundo atributo é o `aspect ratio`. Você quase sempre irá usar o comprimento do elemento dividido pela sua altura, ou você terá o mesmo resultado de quando reproduz filmes antigos em uma TV widescreen - a imagem parece esmagada.

Os próximos dois atributos são os planos de corte `near` e `far`. Isso significa que os objetos mais distantes da câmera do que o valor `far` ou mais próximos que o valor `near` não serão renderizados. Você não precisa se preocupar com isso agora, mas pode ser necessário usar outros valores em seus apps para obter uma melhor performance.

Em seguida temos o renderizador. É aqui que a mágica acontece. Além do WebGLRenderer que usamos aqui, three.js vem com alguns outros, frequentemente usados como substitutos para usuários com navegadores antigos ou para aqueles que não possuem suporte para WebGL por algum motivo.

Além da criação da intância do renderizador, nós também precisamos configurar o tamanho em que queremos renderizar nossa aplicação. É uma boa ideia usar o comprimento e a altura da área que queremos preencher com nossa aplicação - no nosso caso, o comprimento e altura da janela do navegador. Para aplicativos de alto desempenho, você pode fornecer valores menores para o `setSize`, como `window.innerWidth/2` e `window.innerHeight/2`, o que fará com que a aplicação seja renderizada no tamanho de um quarto do original.

Se você deseja manter o tamanho do seu aplicativo mas renderizá-lo em uma resolução mais baixa, você pode chamar o `setSize` passando false como `updateStyle` (o terceiro argumento). Por exemplo, `setSize(window.innerWidth/2, window.innerHeight/2, false)` irá renderizar sua aplicação na metade da resolução, já que seu elemento <canvas> tem 100% de comprimento e altura.

Por último mas não menos importante, nós adicionamos o elemento `renderer` ao nosso HTML. Este é o elemento <canvas> que o renderizador usa para exibir a cena para nós.

"Tudo bem, mas onde está aquele cubo que você prometeu?". Vamos adicioná-lo agora.

		const geometry = new THREE.BoxGeometry( 1, 1, 1 );
		const material = new THREE.MeshBasicMaterial( { color: 0x00ff00 } );
		const cube = new THREE.Mesh( geometry, material );
		scene.add( cube );

		camera.position.z = 5;

Para criar um cubo, nós precisamos de um `BoxGeometry`. Este é um objeto que contém todos os pontos (`vertices`) e preenchimento (`faces`) do cubo. Nós vamos explorar mais sobre isso no futuro.

Além da geometria, nós precisamos de um material para colorir. Three.js vem com vários materiais, mas vamos nos ater ao `MeshBasicMaterial` por enquanto. Todos os materiais têm um objeto de propriedades que serão aplicadas a eles. Para manter as coisas simples, forneceremos apenas um atributo de cor `0x00ff00`, que é verde. Isso funciona da mesma maneira que as cores no CSS ou no Photoshop (`hex colors`).

A terceira coisa que precisamos é de um `Mesh`. Um mesh é um objeto que pega a geometria e aplica um material a ela, para que então possamos inseri-lo em nossa cena e move-lo livremente.

Por padrão, quando nós chamamos `scene.add()`, o elemento que queremos adicionar será inserido nas coordenadas `(0,0,0)`. Isso faz com que a câmera e o cubo fiquem um dentro do outro. Para evitar isso, simplesmente movemos a câmera um pouco para fora.

Renderizando a cena

Se você copiou o código acima para o arquivo HTML criado anteriormente, você não será capaz de ver nada. Isso acontece porque ainda não estamos renderizando nada. Para isso, precisamos chamar um `render ou animate loop`.

		function animate() {
			requestAnimationFrame( animate );
			renderer.render( scene, camera );
		}
		animate();

Isso criará um loop que fará com que o renderizador desenhe a cena novamente toda vez que a tela for atualizada (em uma tela típica, isso significa 60 vezes por segundo). Se você é novato em escrever jogos no navegador, pode perguntar "por que não criamos um setInterval?". A questão é - nós poderíamos, mas `requestAnimationFrame` tem várias vantagens. Talvez a mais importante seja que ele pausa quando o usuário navega para outra aba do navegador, portanto, não desperdiçando seu precioso poder de processamento e vida útil da bateria.

Animando o cubo

Se você inseriu todo o código acima no arquivo que criamos no início, deve visualizar uma caixa verde. Vamos deixar isso tudo um pouco mais interessante rotacionando o cubo.

Adicione o seguinte trecho logo acima da chamada `renderer.render` na função `animate`:

		cube.rotation.x += 0.01;
		cube.rotation.y += 0.01;

Isso será executado a cada quadro (normalmento 60 vezes por segundo), e dará ao cubo uma boa animação de rotação. Basicamente, quaquer coisa que você queira mover ou alterar enquanto a aplicação está sendo executada tem que passar pelo loop de animação. É claro que você pode chamar outras funções de lá para que não acabe com uma função `animate` com centenas de linhas.

O resultado

Parabéns! Agora você concluiu seu primeiro aplicativo three.js. É simples, mas você tem que começar de algum lugar.

O código completo está disponível abaixo e como um [link:https://jsfiddle.net/fxurzeb4/ exemplo] editável. Brinque com ele para entender melhor como funciona.

This is What Happened
by Mick Herron
Something's happened.
A lot of things have happened.
If she could turn back time, she wondered how far she would go.
Twenty-six-year-old Maggie Barnes is someone you would never look at twice. Living alone in a month-to-month sublet in London, with no family but an estranged sister, no boyfriend or partner, and not much in the way of friends, Maggie is just the kind of person who could vanish from the face of the earth without anyone taking notice.
Or just the kind of person MI5 needs to thwart an international plot that puts all of Britain at risk.
Now one young woman has the chance to be a hero – if she can think quickly enough to stay alive.
Genre: Fiction & Related Items / Thriller / Suspense
On Sale: 7th June 2018
A beautifully written and ingeniously plotted standalone from Herron . . . this dark thriller is rife with the deadpan wit and trenchant observation that Herron's readers relish
Part spy thriller, part creepy psychological thriller, the slick twists and elegant prose make this a super read
Imagine John Fowles's The Collector rewritten by Ruth Rendell . . . you'd be nuts not to feast on this clever black comedy
Herron delivers a chilling psychological thriller . . . An in-one-sitting read
Sunday Times Crime Club
An ingenious standalone psychological thriller from Mick Herron . . . a compelling and claustrophobic three-hander
A spine-crawlingly creepy portrait of cruelty and of loneliness . . . springing twist after brilliant twist as he practically dares his reader to try to put the book down . . . very impressive
Patrick Hamilton seems the main influence in this story of broken lives epitomising a society coming apart, both in his studies of London's losers and in his seminal depiction of gaslighting that foreshadows how Maggie is imprisoned and controlled
There is, quite simply, no current thriller writer who enjoys better word-of-mouth than Mick Herron, whose sardonic series of Jackson Lamb espionage novels have accrued a devoted following. The unassuming Maggie Barnes is an improbable enlistee for MI5 - but she may be able to save the UK from a devastating plot
FT, Summer Reads
John Fowles's The Collector rewritten by Ruth Rendell
Independent I
A cat-and-mouse psychological thriller about the people who fall through London's cracks. Perfectly crafted, beautifully written, I started it in the morning and it was dark when I looked up
Intriguing and filled with surprises . . . reads like John le Carre rewriting Alice in Wonderland
Mick Herron is a genius . . . This is What Happened has an utterly blindsiding twist which had me gasping for joy at its audacity. A good introduction to Herron for those who haven't tried the Slough House books, and a delight for those who have
There are more twists than a 1960s dance marathon in this unsettling tale, along with plenty of Herron's delicious dark humour

Q: Well-founded part of integer numbers Peter Aczel writes in his An Introduction to Inductive Definitions:

Let $\prec$ be a binary relation on a set $A$. The well-founded part of $\prec$ is the set $W(\prec)$ of $a\in A$ such that there is no infinite descending sequence $a\succ a_0\succ a_1\succ\ldots$ .

Am I right that if I take $\mathbb{Z}$, the set of integers with the usual less-than relation, then the well-founded part of it, $W(\prec)$ is the empty set?

A: Yes - for any integer $z$, consider the sequence $$z>z-1>z-2>z-3>...$$
By contrast, the well-founded part of $\mathbb{N}$ (with the usual ordering) is exactly all of $\mathbb{N}$ - this is equivalent, in a precise sense, to proof by induction being valid!
As a third example - between $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{N}$ - consider the set of real numbers which are either $> 1$ or are of the form $1-{1\over n}$ for some nonzero natural number $n$. Then the well-founded part of this set (ordered in the usual way) is exactly $$\{1-{1\over n}: n\in\mathbb{N}\}.$$

Now that Spring will soon be on it's way it's time to brighten up the house decor a bit for the sunnier months. I love updating my home according to the seasons and bringing some colour in. It makes me feel sunnier and happier somehow!
One of the places I'd like to bring some more colour into is my kitchen. We have quite a bland backdrop with white cupboards and grey counters and floors so it's really easy to update with colourful accessories. Here are my top tips for bringing more colour into your kitchen.
Dress up your windows with colourful blinds or curtains. These will really reflect the colourful light into the room too when the sun is shining. I really like these ones from Direct Blinds as they have a modern pattern and are nice and colourful too.
It's really easy to bring a spot of colour into your kitchen with appliances that are colourful. You can get matching toasters, kettles, microwaves etc. now all in different colours. You could even get your fridge to match too!
Brighten up the space with flowers. You can use fresh flowers or you can get some really great quality fake ones too in shops like Homesense or Ikea. I really like a bunch of daffodils in the kitchen in spring time, they are so fresh and bright.
You could brighten up the space with brightly coloured dining chairs. Take a look at Pinterest for some inspiration. If you have the space and you have a big kitchen diner you could go for a colourful feature sofa too.
Another easy way to update a room is to accessorise with a rug. A bright coloured rug or doormat could add a real pop of colour in a kitchen. Make sure you get one that is easily wipeable or washable for the kitchen space though.
You can get plenty of bright tablewear that will add some colour to your kitchen. Build a collection of bright plates and serving dishes and they will add pops of colour whenever you use them.
Brighten up the space with some colourful artwork on the walls. It doesn't have to be anything expensive, you could just hang a couple of unframed prints or pop a cheap canvas up.
Will you be making your kitchen more colourful this spring?
I think these are awesome ways to add color to your kitchen. I think art is one of my most favorite ways to decorate a room. It would be nice to add more color when you can, especially during Spring!
Those curtains are gorgeous and I've been lusting over the SMEG appliances for as long as I can remember. I love the red ones, one day I will have a SMEG red fridge.
I am in the process of redecorating the whole house, whilst my kitchen is white I love injecting flowers into it to really bring it to life.
Great ideas. Color can make such a difference in any room. I love the daffodils, they are one of my favorite flowers. I'm starting a garden this year – maybe I'll plant some daffodils! They are a great flower to use to add color to your kitchen because once you plant them they come back year after year.
I absolutely love your ideas to bring more color to the kitchen! I've been wanting to do this for awhile so I really appreciate your tips!
Love the idea of using art work to brighten a home, I so need to do this and have the stuff from Ikea but too scared to drill in our rented house boooo.

Written Mediation Agreements Required
October 11, 2013 | Posted In Personal Injury/Negligence | Share
According to the state Supreme Court's recent ruling, mediated agreements are not binding, and cannot be enforced, unless the terms of the agreement are detailed in writing and signed by both parties. If the mediated terms are too complicated to be drafted in one day, the mediation process will be continued for a short period, until both parties can agree to the written terms and sign the documents. Personal injury lawyers in New Jersey say that this new stipulation, known as the bright-line rule, will help enforce original agreements reached in mediation, and avoid escalation in court.
These new terms, made specific in Willingboro Mall LTD v. 240/242 Franklin Ave LLC, are meant to prevent litigation resulting from the mediation process. Although the mediated terms were not put in writing in this case, the court enforced an oral agreement reached through earlier mediation, and held both parties accountable for their previously agreed-upon arrangement.
In many cases, especially personal injury lawsuits, mediation is an efficient alternative to court, with both parties meeting an outside counsel to negotiate a solution to the dispute before it can turn into a jury trial. But when one party defaults on or rescinds their end of the agreement, mediated cases can quickly become lawsuits, often as a way to make the defaulting party pay their share, or honor their original contract. With these mediated agreements in writing, the court has a binding document that can be used to determine the proper course of action in these cases.
The mediation process is voluntary, with both parties participating, and usually splitting the cost. The neutral third party serves as a sounding board for both parties, offering no advice or consultation, but helping both sides come to a solution outside of court. Nothing that either party says during mediation can be used in later trials or discussions. Mediation is supposed to ease the burden on each party to follow legal procedure, and provides a space where each person can air their grievances without worrying about the legal repercussions.
Requiring a written document outlining mediated terms will be beneficial in personal injury cases, attorneys in New Jersey say. If the injured party agrees to settle a lawsuit through mediation, and receives a written promise from the offender, this can act as proof, should the offender fail to pay the amount agreed upon by both parties. Previously, later disputes over oral agreements would result in court hearings, with statements from both sides, as well as the mediator. The judge's decision could only be based on this testimony, with no hard evidence.
Although the state has an established law, Rule 1:40-4(i), which requires mediated agreements to be made in writing, the current law does not require both parties to be sign. A 2011 judiciary-issued handbook—Mediator's Tool Box: A Case Management Guide for Presumptive Roster Mediators—details the state's Mediation Act, which allows a signed agreement to be proof that a mediated settlement was reached. Under these stipulations, an email or tape recording would be sufficient.
At New Jersey law firm Helmer, Conley, and Kasselman, P.A., the personal injury attorneys offer consultation and representation for anyone who has suffered injuries as a result of another person, and wishes to mediate a settlement.


Today we are going to discuss one of the most common Physical Therapy issues in America, posture. Poor posture is something that we all can relate to, as most of us suffer from it in varying degrees of severity. I'm sure you can all remember at some point or another when you were growing up, or even yesterday , where someone told you to "stop slouching" or "sit up straight". For myself, as a child, it was always my mother bugging me to sit up straight. It's as if mothers have some kind of instinctual training on fostering proper posture in their children. Well, little did how know how right my mother was or how important that nagging would become to me in my future. Now, 20 something years later, as a Physical Therapist, I have quite a different perspective on the topic.
Posture has always been an important focus of health and wellness, but with the societal and technological changes, its importance continues to grow. Our society has created an environment that facilitates more sitting, computer use, and cell phone use than ever before. Far too many of us literally sit for a living. This excessive sitting is leading to structural changes in our body that cause poor posture and are related to a number of injuries we treat here at Hands On-Austin.
Physical Therapy has gone so far in our analysis of posture, that we have named an entire syndrome exclusively to describe poor posture, called Upper Crossed Syndrome. Upper Crossed Syndrome was first described by, Dr. Vladimir Janda, a Czech Neurologist and Physiatrist. The Janda Approach describes and predicts patterns of muscular imbalances that we see time and time again in our patients who have poor posture. It includes the common areas of muscle tightness and weakness that are associated with this Upper Crossed Syndrome.
So, you may be thinking what is Upper Crossed Syndrome exactly? It is described as chronic tightness in the muscles of the back of the neck and shoulders called the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and sub-occipital muscles that crosses with tightness in the chest muscles called the pectoralis major and minor. It also includes weakness in important muscles in the front of the neck called deep neck flexors that crosses with weakness in the upper back and shoulder blade muscles, most specifically your rhomboids, middle trapezius and lower trapezius muscles. This combination of crossed tight muscles and crossed weak muscles is what we describe in Physical Therapy as muscular imbalances.
Now you should be thinking, what does upper crossed syndrome look like or how do I know if I have it? An individual with upper crossed syndrome will present with forward head posture, increased curve of their neck, rounded forward and elevated shoulders, winged shoulder blades, and a rounded upper back or hump back. These muscle imbalances and structural changes accelerate joint damage in the neck, back, and shoulders, lead to development of myofascial restrictions and trigger points within muscles, which ultimately leads to abnormal movement patterns.
All of these changes in our body have been associated with the development of neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, headaches, migraines, TMJ pain (jaw pain), muscle pain, and thoracic outlet syndrome (commonly presents as numbness and tingling into the hands and fingers). Remember, that anyone who has poor posture is at a higher risk of experiencing any of the above injuries. Since, we all have poor posture in some way or another, we are all at risk of these injuries. Therefore, it is important for all of us to make changes aimed at improving our posture.
The first step to any problem is identifying that there is one. If you sit for any portion of your day, it's likely that you should be thinking about ways to prevent or correct upper crossed syndrome. That includes anyone who works at desk, sits at a computer, drives a car or truck, travels regularly, watches TV or movies, and uses their cell phone. If any of the above activities remind yourself of you, then you could benefit from improving your ergonomic setup. The overall goal of an ergonomic setup is to properly align your body and posture to minimize stress and strain on your muscles, bones, and joints.
If you have been dealing with poor posture or working a sedentary (or inactive) desk job for any amount of time then it's likely that you have experienced one of the previously mentioned injuries. In this case, you could benefit from being evaluated and treated by a healthcare professional. Physical Therapists and other healthcare professionals have been extensively trained in methods to evaluate and treat injuries associated with upper crossed syndrome. We are able to develop comprehensive and individualized treatment plans aimed at correcting your specific form of upper crossed syndrome. This is done by determining the underlying cause(s) of a your injury and treating your body as a whole interconnected system instead of one isolated area of pain or injury. Healthcare professionals have determined that injuries often develop due to dysfunction above and below the area of actual injury. Therefore, only treating the localized area of pain or injury may not actually be addressing the underlying cause of that injury. This means that the patient may not get better or may be predisposed to reinjure down the road. A comprehensive treatment plan created specifically for you facilitates treatment that includes manual therapy, exercises, and stretches to correct and reverse your specific postural abnormalities. At Hands On-Austin, manual therapy includes myofascial release, spinal manipulation, joint mobilization, soft tissue mobilization, and manually resisted exercises aimed at correcting muscle imbalances to improve movement patterns and restore function.
In short, addressing upper crossed syndrome includes stretching the tight muscles, strengthening the weak muscles, and globally increasing your postural awareness throughout daily life. Although, that sounds simple, it is important to know exactly what to stretch and what to strengthen so you can correct imbalances. Exercising and stretching incorrectly can often make these imbalances even worse. So, ideally you would be evaluated by a healthcare professional that can carefully assess your whole system and prescribe specific exercises and stretches that address your individual impairments. However, there is enough commonality and frequency of the tight muscles and weak muscles that I am able to make some recommendations to help readers to started or refine their own self-care.

Can you sign a petition to help end hunger in the UK?
Submitted by alison-bogle on Tue, 25/09/2018 - 10:54
Bishop Nick has signed a petition from End Hunger UK, calling on the Government to fix Universal Credit so that it doesn't make people go hungry. Could you add your name too?
End Hunger UK say, "I want to live in a society where everyone has access to good food, and no one has to go to bed hungry. An effective benefits system provides financial assistance in times of crisis but in areas where Universal Credit has been rolled out, foodbanks and other food aid providers report a surge in the numbers of people pushed into greater debt, destitution and hunger as a result of delays, errors, a lack of flexibility and adequate support.
"Can you sign the petition at https://e-activist.com/page/26900/petition/1 and encourage others to do so? Harvest Festival at your church or End Hunger UK Week (13-20 October) would be good opportunities to focus on our calling, as Christians, to feed the hungry.
"In the Diocese of Leeds, there are currently 9 Trussell Trust foodbanks, working out of 31 distribution centres. Last year, Trussell Trust foodbanks in Leeds diocese distributed 33507 three-day emergency food supplies to people in crisis, which is an increase of 15% on the previous year. In addition, there are at least 39 independent food banks in the diocese.
"Unless urgent action is taken to improve the flexibility and support for people on Universal Credit, alongside a long-term commitment to ensure that the social security system provides enough income to afford good food on a regular basis, then we are likely to see a continuing rise in the numbers going to food banks over the next few years as more people are moved on to Universal Credit."

Today we thought we'd share with you five reasons to cool down with cucumbers.
It turns out there really is something to the saying "cool as a cucumber."
Cucumbers literally stay cooler than the ambient temperature around them, making them a perfect snack during a heat wave.
Cucumbers were once thought to be devoid of nutrients.
As it turns out, their most nutritious part is the dark green skin, so consider buying them organic to avoid the wax and pesticides that are often sprayed on conventional cukes.
1. They support proper bone development: Cucumbers are high in vitamin-C, which plays a pivotal role in the creation of collagen, a key component in the development of the bone matrix as well as the development of healthy hair skin and nails.
Recent research suggests that scurvy is still a health concern; an inadequate intake of vitamin-C can cause modern day symptoms of this olden-days condition.
2. Cucumber is great for your heart: The skin of the cucumber contains caffeic acid; this is an antioxidant that is shown to prevent further damage to the cells of the heart following a heart attack.
The most amount of damage that is caused by a heart attack is a result of the free radicals that are created, and caffeic acid helps to mop these up.
3. Prevent osteoporosis with cucumbers: As well as good amounts of vitamin-C, cucumbers also contain a considerable amount of silica (orthosilicic acid) in their skin.
Silica has been proven to work synergistically with calcium and vitamin-D to increase collagen production in the bones and avoid deterioration and brittle bones, which can lead to fractures.
4. Keep your brain sharp with cukes: Cucumber contains a trace mineral called molybdenum, a vital component of many enzyme functions in the entire body, not just in our digestive tract.
These reactions are needed for proper brain function, motor control and memory retention. Molybdenum is especially important in the enzyme functions of the brain.
5. It's the ultimate weight-loss food: Along with being high in fiber and water, cucumbers are one of the only vegetables containing the amino acid tryptophan.
Tryptophan has the ability to convert into serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter that elevates our mood.
Tryptophan has recently been successful in stopping emotional and binge eating, and is being used with great success to treat obesity and curb appetite.
One of the greatest escapes in Canada is heading to a lake or river during summer.
When summer temperatures hit 37 degrees, you just can't bear to think of turning on the BBQ.
These tasty rolls are packed with protein and omega 3, and the cucumber provides zeazanthin, which protects the eyes from the UV sunlight you might experience on a bright summer day.
1. Cut cucumber in half crosswise.
2. Using a vegetable peeler or a mandolin, cut thin strips lengthwise from each half, turning the cucumber as you reach the seeds.
You want strips of cucumber with a band of green skin at the top and bottom.
3. Add a two-inch (five-cm.) square piece of salmon to the cucumber strip.
4. Tear off dill springs into two-inch pieces and layer on top of salmon.
5. Top with some whole grain mustard.
6. Roll up the cucumber.
Note: Smoked trout can be substituted for salmon.

Top Tesla investor: The stock could triple in five years
Published: Nov. 2, 2017 at 10:44 a.m. ET
Brett Arends
Baillie Gifford of Edinburgh says Elon Musk's company is reinventing an entire industry worldwide
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla
Referenced Symbols
VOW
EDINBURGH (MarketWatch) — Tesla Inc.'s biggest investor is CEO Elon Musk, and its second-biggest is Fidelity Investments.
But can you name who's third?
Step forward Baillie Gifford, an investment partnership based thousands of miles from the U.S. across the Atlantic, in the quaint Scottish capital of Edinburgh on the banks of the North Sea.
The firm, which manages 173 billion pounds ($227 billion), has a successful track record of late. Baillie Gifford's global growth mutual fund, Global Discovery, is up 127% over the past five years when measured in U.S. dollars, according to FactSet. That's compared to 77% for the MSCI All-Country Small-Cap Index and 103% for the S&P 500 SPX, -1.10%.
In total, 109-year-old Baillie Gifford holds about 8% of Tesla stock TSLA, +0.06% in its various funds, according to FactSet.
The investment firm began investing in Musk's visionary company as early as 2013, when the stock was below $50. Today? Just over $300 (after peaking at $385 in September).
Why do its fund managers invest so heavily in Tesla?
"It comes back to the overall philosophy of Baillie Gifford and what we're looking for," says Baillie partner Gary Robinson, who helps manage the firm's U.S. stock investments. "We're looking for ... long-term winners."
After the U.S. stock market closed Wednesday, Tesla posted a bigger-than-anticipated loss for the third quarter and said it will take longer than expected to ramp up production of its new Model 3 electric car.
Tesla at $900
Tesla's total outstanding stock is already valued at $54 billion, more than that of Ford F, -3.56% ($49 billion). But Robinson argues there may be much more to come. Tesla trading at $900 or thereabouts within five years is perfectly possible.
How? He walks through the top-down math on what is possible.
The high-end Tesla S and X models sell for an average of about $90,000 each, and Tesla is on track to sell about 100,000 a year, he says. Gross profit margins of 30% should yield about a run-rate of about $3 billion in operating profits a year from those two models, he believes.
Meanwhile, the mass-luxury Model 3, when you throw in all the options, is likely to sell for a ballpark figure of around $50,000, he estimates. Based on annual sales of competing cars such as the BMW 3 series, Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-class, Robinson thinks it's possible Tesla could be selling 1.5 million Model 3s within five years.
That would mean $75 billion in revenue and around $7.5 billion in operating profits, assuming gross margins of 10%, which are typical in this market segment, he says.
$150 billion market value
So just those three models could be generating operating profits above $10 billion a year, Robinson argues. That's not even counting any money to be made from trucks, solar panels, power storage or other product lines. A company generating sustainable operating profits of $10 billion a year could easily support a market value of, say, $140 billion to $150 billion.
Of course, there's many a slip 'twixt cup and lip, as the British like to say. Tesla is effectively trying to reinvent an entire industry worldwide, against arguably the biggest industrial complex in history. Tesla isn't just taking on established car companies such as Toyota TM, -0.47%, General Motors GM, -2.83%, Volkswagen VOW, +0.67% and so on, but also the oil companies, such as Exxon Mobil XOM, +0.22%, that power their vehicles. It is unquestionably a high-risk stock, at least in terms of short-term volatility.
Robinson doesn't claim that Baillie Gifford's forecasts are certain or baked in, merely that they are possible. He gives them maybe a 40% chance over five years. The actual outcome may be better, or worse.
"The way we think about investments is upside," he says. "It's not about how often you're right in equity investing — it's about how much money you make when you're right."
One of the tough parts of investing in a long-term growth story is hanging on through the volatility. New projects are usually capital intensive. There are almost always teething problems, production issues and missteps.
"We're less concerned with the path and more concerned with the long-term outlook," says Robinson.
Finding that rare company
Many decades ago the investor Philip Fisher famously articulated the philosophy of so-called "growth" stock investing. In his investment classic, "Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits" — a book cited by Warren Buffett, among others — Fisher said that the real way to make big money in investing is to find outstanding companies and then just hang on forever.
Recent academic research has found something similar: A small number of big long-term winners have provided most of the stock market's overall long-term gains.
Baillie Gifford's own calculations find that, historically, over a typical five-year period about 80% of stocks end up a wash: They've either gone down a bit, or up a bit, and overall you haven't made much money. Your gains come from the rest.
"The remaining 20% go up at least 150%," says Robinson. He believes there's still a good chance Tesla could be in that 20% category over the next five years.
"Equity returns are asymmetric," he adds. "You have limited downside and uncapped upside. We think the path to success is to ... identify and hold on to those winners." The quest is for "exceptional growth companies ... they are, by definition, rare."
Three criteria
If you're looking for those long-term winners, where do you find them? Baillie Gifford says it looks for three things. The first is a big market opportunity compared to the current revenue. The second is for a strong and durable comparative advantage. The third is for a distinctive corporate culture. That culture, Baillie Gifford adds, is often found in companies that are still run by their founder.
When it comes down to it, he says, this Scottish investment partnership is betting big on Tesla because of two simple questions. First, will electric vehicles see mass market adoption? It's "almost inevitable." And, second, will Tesla be one of the industry leaders? There's a "strong possibility."
Whether the investment returns come through, only time will tell. But it's hard to dismiss either point.

Tenopir Returns to the Faculty
By CCI March 24, 2014
On July 1, 2014, Chancellor's Professor and BOV Professor Carol Tenopir will step down from her CCI research leadership role and return to the SIS faculty where she will continue her own research and work with students. An internal search is currently under way to find CCI's next director of research/director of the Center for Information and Communication Studies (CICS). On the occasion of Tenopir's decision to return to the faculty, this article takes a look back over her 11 years of service as CCI director of research/CICS director to pay tribute to the tremendous impact she has had on CCI.
A strategic goal of the University of Tennessee's "Journey to the Top 25" is to strengthen productivity in research, scholarship, and creative activity. In 2002 when the College of Communication and Information (CCI) was being formed, a vision for establishing a culture of research emerged as an important college-wide objective. To help make this happen, then UTK Chancellor Lauren Crabtree asked SIS Professor Carol Tenopir to become Director of CCI's Center of Information and Communication Studies effective Aug. 1. 2003. Two years later, the title of CCI Director of Research was added to her duties. In 2008, she was named as one of UTK's inaugural Chancellor's Professors, and, in AY 2012-13, she was appointed as the inaugural CCI Board of Visitors (BOV) Professor.
On the occasion of her decision to step away from her administrative role, Tenopir noted, "Much of social science research is done without external funding sources. However, conducting research with external funding enables research to move from regional in scope to national or even international. It attracts more positive attention to the University and the College and ultimately attracts research partners, ideas and opportunities."
Students working on externally funded research projects gain several benefits including: invaluable research experiences that allow them to gather and analyze research data and write research articles and reports that help establish their own academic reputations, tuition waivers to help pay for their graduate degree, and travel funds allowing them to present research at conferences. CCI graduates who have participated in externally funded research projects have also been able to translate their CCI research experiences into jobs at other academic institutions, for governmental/non-profit entities and/or for private industry.
Establishing CCI as a research leader has also enabled the College to strengthen its relationship with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). That relationship has yielded several other opportunities for CCI and ORNL. Those opportunities include SciData, ScienceLinks2 and Developing a Model for Scientific Data Curation Education in Research Centers (DCERC).
As a result of her research leadership within CCI, Tenopir has helped to significantly expand the base of sources from which CCI researchers receive funding. Whether as the research lead or as a sub-contractor, CCI has participated in many important grant projects for entities such as the Institute for Museum and Library Services, the National Science Foundation, the Sloan Foundation, IEEE, and the US Geological Survey. These research projects have provided opportunities for interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and transformational collaboration and partnerships. She has also helped CCI greatly expand the number of faculty members engaged in sponsored research by increasing CCI's faculty participation rate from the single digits to 57%.
CCI faculty members get the benefit of working in a research environment where they can learn the processes and best practices for securing external funding for their work. SIS Assistant Professor Wade Bishop commented, "I've worked in a number of great research centers, but never with a group as phenomenal as the CICS staff. They are incredibly knowledgeable about every step of the research process from identifying sources of funding, to narrative and budget writing, and to administrative details such as hiring assistants, traveling, and purchasing equipment. The CICS staff is an anchor for CCI faculty in today's turbulent external funding waters."
Under Tenopir's leadership, CCI faculty have led grant projects that have attracted positive attention to UT for their civic and social benefits, contributed critical medical and health communication findings, benefited science and technical publishing research, and provided high-tech engineers with communication tools to enhance their collaboration both in the U.S. and in India. These and many other research projects have been produced through collaborations within and among CCI's four schools.
In addition to Tenopir's profound impact on CCI's research culture, she also recognizes the importance of "paying it forward." Tenopir and SIS Adjunct Professor and BOV member Don King recently donated the funds required to create the Tenopir-King Endowed Research Fund, which will provide recent Master's and PhD graduates with experience conducting real-world research. These post-graduate experiences will make CCI graduates more employable by allowing them to acquire critical real-world skills and knowledge.


I was not going to write anything at all about Belitung on my blog, mostly because it is currently one of the most popular domestic tourist destinations in Indonesia, everyone knows about it and have desire to go there. It is already over-exposed in Indonesia, no one needs any encouragement to go there.
Also, I am not a big fan of that Laskar Pelangi series (due to various reasons that I would not mention it this time in this posting).
But then, after living in London for about a year, I realised that when I talked to my non-Indonesian friends, I 'promoted' Belitung Island a lot.
Based on that, I realised that this short weekend trip had made an impact in my life.
Therefore, I have the urge to actually write about it here.
So anyway, this weekend trip was basically a long overdue trip that Asti, Ayu and I planned.
Well, our original plan was actually a safari trip in South Africa, or the likes.
Unfortunately, due to our limited budget, we decided that we should start our plan by traveling domestically.
In regards to my little sister, I just managed to drag her around.
I do not have any intention on writing all research-y about Belitung.
You know, all the matters about commodification of everything.
I just finished my dissertation, for god's sake. I need a break.
I simply just want to show how beautiful Belitung is, especially for my friends who have never been to Indonesia, or only knows Indonesia by Bali, Lombok and the islands around it.
1. eat as much seafood as you can. it's so freaking cheap and they are delicious. you can eat crabs without paying as much money as you would in Java or Bali.
2. eat/drink as much whole coconut as you possibly can. reason: see above.
3. do as much water sport/games as possible. they do not have very many in the island, because tourism industry is fairly new. You can do occasional snorkeling, rent a canoe for fun and some other stuff. Why? See reason no. 1.
5. forget about buying souvenirs. again, tourism industry is fairly new there and the locals are not used to making handicraft for souvenirs just yet. they also do not have any food specialities that you could never found somewhere else in Indonesia. So, better forget about souvenirs and took tons of pictures instead.
Now, below are some of the pictures that we took while we were on the island. I think it was all taken on our first day in two different beaches. I hope you get the idea of how beautiful the island is.
hmmmm….hmmmmm….should i go there as well?
Beautiful photographs!! Thank you for sharing this stunning part of the world here for me to enjoy!

Imagine a world where everything about human life has changed. That's the singularity. And it's actually almost impossible to imagine.
January 7, 2015, 1:58 p.m.
Picture yourself trying to explain the experience of streaming a movie to William Shakespeare.
First, you'd have to explain movies. Then you'd have to explain TVs (or computers, or tablets or mobile phones, or maybe even Google Glass). Then you'd probably have to explain the internet. And electricity. Maybe credit/debit cards and the modern banking system too. And at each stage of these explanations, there would be any number of tangents where our daily experience is so far removed from that of the Bard that you could talk on and on for hours without ever really conveying the original topic of conversation.
That, in essence, is at least one definition of a singularity: a moment in time where our technological and cultural realities have changed so drastically that our way of life would be incomprehensible to those who lived before that shift. The Industrial Revolution, the Enlightenment, the Agrarian Revolution — each of these could be defined as a singularity, based on the profound and lasting consequences they had on the very fabric of our societies.
Another, narrower definition of the singularity refers to the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and, specifically, the point in time when AI has advanced to such a level that it can design and replicate ever more sophisticated forms of AI that greatly outstrip the capabilities of the human mind. It's this version of the singularity, sometimes referred to as technological singularity, which many futurists, science fiction authors and technology theorists are focused on as they imagine the next paradigm shift in terms of human (and AI) experience.
As we mentioned earlier, artificial intelligence is the technology that most people believe will usher in the singularity. Authors like Vinge and singulatarian Ray Kurzweil think AI will usher in the singularity for a twofold reason. First, creating a new form of intelligent life will completely change our understanding of ourselves as humans. Second, AI will allow us to develop new technologies so much faster than we could before that our civilization will transform rapidly. A corollary to AI is the development of robots who can work alongside - and beyond - humans.
One of the problems, of course, in discussing what the singularity may bring is that it is, by definition, inconceivable to us as we are products of a pre-singularity world. Similarly, the idea of tying down the singularity to any one specific moment in time becomes challenging because, despite the way we retell our historical narratives in terms of the Greatest Generation, or the Swinging Sixties, history does not divide itself neatly into generational units. A western millennial who has grown up around the internet and modern communication technology, for example, will have a very different grasp of coming technological shifts than her grandparents, who may still be figuring out how to submit a comment on Facebook. Similarly, a young farmer from rural Sudan may have an entirely different view of how we relate to technology than a Silicon Valley hipster.
Still, in terms of the larger narrative of human history, we can locate periods in our past where everything changed. By that, we don't just mean that the invention of the mechanical loom during the Industrial Revolution made weaving less labor intensive, but rather it transformed our very concept of how we manufacture goods. And that transformation, along with other similar technological developments, led to radical shifts in everything from politics to human settlement patterns to the distribution of capital and the make up of our basic family units.
What the next singularity will bring may indeed be almost impossible to predict. Whether one is coming, however, and coming soon, seems fairly uncontroversial at this point. Given the rapid advances in everything from computing to AI to renewable energy and biotechnology, our world is shifting at a rapid pace. I would be shocked if these changes do not result in radical shifts in how we live and organize ourselves that are every bit as revolutionary as the Industrial Revolution. Indeed, many of those changes may have already happened.
It'll just take us a while to recognize them.

Q: Retornar Valor de Select Olá,
Gostaria de saber como recuperar um resultado de um select no Controller para realizar uma soma de variáveis.
Eu tenho dois selects que preciso do valor resultante deles para somar dentro do Controller.
    // A = select total ja proposto
    $this->db->select('SUM(tb_proposicao.valor) as totalproposto');
    $this->db->where('tb_proposicao.usuarioid', 1;
    $this->db->where('tb_proposicao.tipoid', 1;
    $dados['totalproposto'] = $this->db->get('tb_proposicao')->result();

    // B = select limite
    $this->db->select('*');
    $this->db->where('tb_limites.usuarioid', 1;
    $this->db->where('tb_limites.tipoid', 1;
    $dados['limites'] = = $this->db->get('tb_limites')->result();

    $A + $B = $C

A:
$A = $this->db
          ->select('SUM(tb_proposicao.valor) as totalproposto')
          ->where('tb_proposicao.usuarioid', 1)
          ->where('tb_proposicao.tipoid', 1)
          ->get('tb_proposicao')->row();

O row(), me rornará somente uma coluna objeto

Para cálculos a "B" retornará a tabela inteira, chuto que será um count.

$B = $this->db
          ->select('count(*) as limite')
          ->where('tb_limites.usuarioid', 1)
          ->where('tb_limites.tipoid', 1)
          ->get('tb_limites')->row();

Tendo os dois objetos basta soma os valores
É interessante informar os tipos de dados retornados, se float, double, int.. para cálculos.

$C = floatval($A->totalproposto) + intval($B->limite);

How the other horse lives Q&A with American polo champion and ambassador for Brooke USA, Nic Roldan.
For the UK high-goal season I have 15 horses that I'm playing. Typically I will play 13-14 in a game.
2. Do they have any bad habits? What are their best personality traits?
Comic is an 'Alpha mare', with a big character and a big heart. She loves her biscuits (her preference is shortbread with currants). Her bad habit is when she has had enough, she puts her foot down.
Fortuna, an Argentine-bred mare, is loving, kind and never says no. She comes to you like a baby. Her bad habit is that she is a Houdini wannabe - she manages to untie the most complex of knots in a sneaky manner and disappear!
Cullette is a small chestnut horse but super electric/sensitive with a distinct quick movement. She has a great temperament and is very consistent. Keep your eyes peeled as she has made the hop across the pond this spring so I can play her in the UK high goal.
Each pony very much has its own personality traits. First thing in the morning is always a lot of fun with some wanting a treat, others a neck stretch or a kiss - each one is different.
3. What do your horses eat in an average day?
Mainly haylage and oats, I don't like to overcomplicate what I feed my ponies and like to keep it all as natural as possible. We like to give them fresh grass when we can, especially post game, which makes them happy and is great for their digestive system. Chief "giver of love" in my yard is Terri, one of my horse carers. She buys them carrots, apples and biscuits. Comic in particular has a sweet tooth.
4. Where do your horses live?
The La Indiana team I'm playing on is based on the Cowdray Estate, Midhurst, West Sussex, which is simply stunning. They are stabled in the barn and travel to games at Cowdray and Guards (Windsor).
Post season they are all turned out as a herd to winter outside in fields, getting fat and furry!
5. How do you make sure your horses are healthy?
When the horses arrive in the UK after flying in from the USA or Argentina, vets are waiting at the yard to check them over, help them settle and get over their "jet lag". Then we have almost daily vet visits during the season to make sure they are all attended to. At the start of the season all their teeth are done. Our philosophy is that prevention is better than cure. At all our games the vet team is present and needless to say as soon as they arrive back on the yard after a game each is checked over and we make sure all their needs are attended too. Naturally they are all regularly shod.
6. Describe your horses' social life.
They have their buddies, no polo pony is an only pony. They usually exercise in groups of five and all have their own relationships.
Around Cowdray there is a lot of stunning common land so we take them for hacks on quiet days, which is magical. People sometimes think they are all wrapped in cotton wool when they're not playing but that's not the case.
Their yard buddies include two rescue dogs, Guido and Petunia.
7. What's your favourite thing about Brooke's work?
The impact it has on the communities who rely on working equines.
I love being able to give back to horses way less privileged than mine, and to raise awareness of Brooke's mission, to transform the lives of vulnerable working horses, donkeys and mules around the world.
Nic Roldan is hosting the first UK Sunset Polo Event at Cowdray Park on Tuesday 20 June 2017, from 5pm to 11pm. For more information and to buy tickets, visit Nic Roldan's website.

We're going to keep being aggressive. We'll continue to look at trades, specifically for Mitch Haniger, Omar Narváez, and Daniel Vogelbach, but we've made it clear we're ready and willing to listen on every player.
On the Haniger front, given that we've already dealt Domingo Santana and Mallex Smith, we don't feel that it's absolutely necessary to facilitate a Haniger trade, even with the addition of Lewis Brinson. We're dead set on starting Kyle Lewis and perhaps Jake Fraley in Triple-A for 2020, so Haniger truly isn't blocking anyone and we're not going to ship him off if we don't feel the value of a potential package is worth more to us than Haniger is to our team.
Furthermore, we may even go out and add a veteran outfielder through free agency. We've already talked about the likes of Kole Calhoun (who's now signed with the Pirates in our simulation), Alex Gordon, and Shogo Akiyama, though we're not really sure which direction we want to go.
We'd love to hear from you guys and see what you think our next move should be. Let us know on Twitter or in the comments section below!
Here's what our current 40-man roster looks like, which sits at 39 as of now:
Starting Pitchers (8): Marco Gonzales, Chris Archer, Justus Sheffield, Yusei Kikuchi, José Ureña, Aaron Sanchez, Justin Dunn, Ricardo Sánchez
Relief Pitchers (15): Art Warren, Brandon Brennan, Dan Altavilla, Reggie McClain, José De León, Anthony Banda, Taylor Guilbeau, Zac Grotz, Phillips Valdez, Matt Festa, Austin Adams, Gerson Bautista, Matt Magill, Erik Swanson, Sam Tuivailala
Catchers (2): Omar Narváez, Tom Murphy
Infielders (9): Austin Nola, Daniel Vogelbach, Shed Long, Tim Lopes, Donnie Walton, Kyle Seager, J.P. Crawford, Kevin Kramer, Dylan Moore
Outfielders (5): Mitch Haniger, Lewis Brinson, Jake Fraley, Braden Bishop, Kyle Lewis

Gillian Keegan's Teen Transition Lesson Learned From New Education Adviser
As the government comes out against Sturgeon's trans bill, which would allow 16-year-olds to change gender with minimal effort, Guido was surprised to hear one minister contradicting this message. Speaking to Kay Burley this morning, Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said she thought 16 was old enough to change gender, despite even Sir Keir saying it was too young at the weekend. At least she's not overseeing the publication of new gender identity guidance for schools…
It seems odd that a Secretary of State would deviate so wildly from the government line, however a recent DfE appointment might shine a light on Keegan's thinking. The Department for Education recently announced the hiring of Russell Viner as their Chief Scientific Adviser.
Russell Viner has spent much of the last decade researching the effects of puberty blockers. Recently a paper of his found that the effect of puberty blockers was "positive for the majority". His research involved giving such blockers to 12–15-year-olds with gender dysphoria. To be fair to Russell, he did also say that "we are dealing with unknowns" and that further study was "essential". This didn't stop the controversial and discredited Tavistock Centre from citing his paper as the justification their decision to give hormone treatment to pre-teens.
Co-conspirators will not need reminding that the Tavistock Centre was shut down last year after an independent review found it to be "inadequate", with doctors saying it was referring patients onto a gender transitioning pathway "too quickly". Guido imagines Kemi will have a word or two to say about Keegan's medical beliefs…

After the brutal hacking of Education Secretary Gillian Keegan over Christmas, which saw her account fire out dozens of spam crypto links before being wiped entirely, Twitter hackers scored another victory this morning as they managed to get into Chris Heaton-Harris's account. And Anna Soubry's for good measure…
Just after 7am, Chris posted a number of confusing tweets calling for the freeing of a person called "mizz", as well as posting a selfie of a man captioned, "imran khan poor p*ki and minecraft roleplayer". Soubry fell victim to the same scammer, calling someone a "n*g n*g"…
While it did appear Heaton-Harris had managed to wrestle back control of his account a lot quicker than his cabinet counterpart managed – tweeting a confirmation of the hacking – a subsequent tweet about forcing all trans and homosexuals to work behind a bar for 10 years implies that's not the case.
You would hope the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland had better security procedures in place…

Foreign Office Minister Gillian Keegan was spot on when she told Times Radio this morning that the top rate of tax was a political time bomb left behind by Gordon Brown:
"I always knew that it was going to be a political problem. I mean, let's be honest, this was a political trap that was set by Gordon Brown in the dying days of his role as PM, right. And I paid the 50% tax. I was in business then. And I remember how devastating it was because actually, it meant you were paying about 65% tax. And there's something in your mind, which is like, really, you know, only 35% for me? And I'm doing all these hours. I was a business person, then it was set as a political trap…. In theory it [the top rate of tax] should never have been there."
There is something immoral about the government taking the majority of your income in tax. It is also a disheartening disincentive; reversing this spiteful tax is the correct policy, though this might perhaps be the wrong time. Getting rid of a political tax that was only set up by Gordon Brown when he knew he was likely to be ousted –to hurt the Tories rather than raise revenue – was the right thing to do. Even the IFS' Paul Johnson thinks in revenue terms "It might plausibly cost nothing at all". The tax was not about raising revenue – it was about political positioning.
Back in Fife, Brown will be rocking in his chair laughing that his tax booby trap, announced only weeks before he left office, and which was expected to cause problems for his successor David Cameron, has finally exploded in the face of a Tory Chancellor. The fuse wire on Brown's time bomb turned out to be 12 years long…
