IDC MarketScape Evaluates Vendors by Capabilities and Strategies, and Offers Software Selection Support
NEW YORK-PARIS-LONDON, January 3, 2018 – Kyriba, the #1 global provider of cloud treasury and financial management solutions, today announced it has been named as a "Leader" in the IDC MarketScape Worldwide SaaS and Cloud-Enabled Treasury and Risk Management Applications 2017–2018 Vendor Assessment (DOC # US43293517, December 2017). Released late last month, the IDC study provides a comprehensive assessment of the leading vendors in the market, how digital tools are driving innovation, and what to look for when selecting a world-class solution.
"The digital transformation is now taking hold within the treasury and risk application market," said Kevin M. Permenter, senior research analyst, Enterprise Applications and Digital Commerce at IDC. "Treasury applications are starting to become more sophisticated to meet these needs. Going forward, only vendors that are able to offer solutions with extensive treasury functionality along with the new wave of digital tools like cloud, APIs, and intelligence are going to thrive in the treasury and risk applications market."
Kyriba, which has more than 1,800 clients worldwide, was recognized by IDC for its deep customer focus, a fully virtualized multitenant SaaS application, enterprise-level data security, and advanced compliance and reporting functionality. Kyriba was positioned along with eight other global vendors, each of whom were judged by a mix of strategies and capabilities covering customer satisfaction, depth of functionality, SaaS architecture, and more.

"We are honored to be recognized by one of the biggest technology analyst firms in the world, and owe this success to our many clients and strategic partners," said Jean-Luc Robert, Chairman and CEO at Kyriba. "From the beginning, our goal has been to empower CFOs and senior financial executives to better manage the complete cash lifecycle, so they can reduce risk, optimize liquidity and accelerate growth. We look forward to working with the entire Kyriba community to continue to push the boundaries of innovation and success."
IDC MarketScape Criteria and Methodology
IDC researched known vendors based on their market experience and their clients and contacts' request for evaluation within enterprise deals and supplemented several vendors that IDC believed to qualify as a treasury and risk system. Vendors were then surveyed and further investigated to ensure that their treasury and risk systems qualified as SaaS or cloud enabled and were already serving numerous enterprises. IDC analysts base individual vendor scores, and ultimately vendor positions on the IDC MarketScape, on detailed surveys and interviews with the vendors, publicly available information, and end-user experiences in an effort to provide an accurate and consistent assessment of each vendor's characteristics, behavior, and capability.
IDC defines treasury and risk management applications as applications that support corporate treasury operations (including the treasuries of financial services enterprises) with the corresponding financial institution functionality and optimize related cash management, deal management, and risk management function.

Gangs Of Britain
Gangs Of Britain Season 1 Episode 1
G - Gangs Of Britain - Season 1 Episode 1 - Glasgow
Glasgow is a city divided. Cut in half by one lethal weapon – the blade. There are more scarred faces in Glasgow than anywhere else in Britain and in 2002 the World Health Organisation designated Glasgow the murder capital of Europe. Gary Kemp examines a brutal razor attack in the 1920s, to find out why the Rangers and Celtic supporter's rivalry runs far deeper than football. Martin investigates another victim who is cut down in the city in 2010 – this time butchered with a sword after an argument escalates out of control. Gary and Martin investigate two Glasgow gangs, one old and one new, using two savage blade attacks that typify the city's street violence. They explore the cause and effect of the brutal divide that still splits Glasgow to this day

As we predicted with last week's Snapshot, this week we've gotten some fresh new Villages to take a look at, the teased Berries shown just a few days ago, and an update to how Pillager Raids will work. Plus, a few bug fixes made their way in!
New Pillager Raid mechanics give a significant buff to our new foes.
Raids have been, in a word, "tough". But, the devs at Mojang apparently felt that the Raids as they were could have been a little tougher, because this week's Snapshot gave them a pretty big buff.
When a player takes the Bad Omen effect (either by command or by killing a Pillager Patrol Leader), and enters a Village, a Raid will begin. That's nothing new to you if you checked out the Snapshot last week. What is new is the duration of the Raid and the difficulty of completing it.
Now, for each level of Bad Omen effect that is stacked on a player when they enter a Village, there will be two waves of Pillagers that will attempt to overpower our helpless friends. That means that you can have anywhere between 2 waves of Pillagers up to 10 waves to defeat. Each wave also has a chance of including the devastating Illager Beast, which is fast, powerful, and has a lot of health.
There were some bugs that were fixed with the Raids relating to the Boss Bar not counting down and the Raid not ending if a Pillager died by some other means than being killed be a player, a Pillager entering a portal, or the player going into Peaceful mode while a Raid was happening. Unfortunately, there may still be a few bugs to work out, as I found yesterday when I couldn't find the last Pillager during a Raid, even after trying some… advanced investigative techniques.
It turns out *I* was the Pillager.
There was also a bug fix for Crossbows pushed through which may count as a buff for YOU against these Raids, though. You can now fire Rockets with the Crossbow which will explode upon impact, dealing AOE damage to all mobs around it. Could be good for taking out the Pillagers while they're grouped together charging in.
Like clockwork, more new Villages that we predicted were rolled out this week, including this one that isn't just a revamp of an existing Village type, but an entirely new Village altogether.
The Snowy Village is gorgeous (and definitely our favorite design so far). It's found in snowy biomes and comes with completely different structures and building materials than we saw in the Plains Village that was released last week.
Packed Ice, Snow igloos, Spruce homes, and Diorite decorations are spread out a little further than it seems the Plains and Savanna Villages are. It also seems like there's a little less diversity in this Village compared to the others, but that's to be expected when you live in the middle of a tundra with limited resources available.
This is such a great little village. Major kudos to the people involved in building it.
For a build with Acacia Wood, this new Savanna Village doesn't look too bad.
Going along with the brand new Snow Village is a revamped design for the existing Savanna Villages. It features Acacia Wood roofed homes, less-organized Wheat fields, diagonal paths, and more diverse building materials for the structures, and it looks pretty good!
The Savanna is one of the three Minecraft Biomes that was up for being revamped entirely in a future update, and though it didn't win the community vote at Minecon Earth 2018, it is still getting a bit of love here with this Village update.
Most surprisingly was the addition of disorganized Wheat fields scattered around and the diagonal paths, which make the Village feel more realistic overall. Most people who build their own villages in Minecraft will often incorporate these types of design elements, so it's nice to see them at play here.
Another new food type has been introduced, along with a change to how you harvest it!
Sweet Berries are a delicious new addition that are easy to harvest, restore a very small amount of hunger, and can actually hurt you if you aren't careful.
Well, the Berries themselves won't hurt you, but the Bushes they grow on will.
By right-clicking with a Sweet Berry on Dirt or Grass, you will plant a new Berry Bush. This Bush has four growth stages: Sapling, Bush with no Berries, Bush with few Berries, and Bush with full Berries. Once you get to the second stage, the full-sized Bush with no Berries, walking through the Berry Bush will slow you and damage you (as if you're being pricked with thorns). Standing still won't hurt you, but sneaking has no effect on the damage you take.
You can harvest Sweet Berries by either breaking the Bush or right-clicking it. The 3rd and 4th stages of Berry Bush growth yield 1 to 2-3 Berries each, respectively, but you can also use Bone Meal to constantly cycle through Berries popping off and regrowing.
Last on our list of updates to mention is the new COPY_NBT loot table function. There's not a whole lot to say here except that it will be handy for developers and map makers to use for quickly copying oft-used data from one item or entity to another. This could be used in other ways, but one idea might be to have players take on the NBT data of an enemy player or mob when they kill it. Kind of like Highlander.
It's about the same story as last week, really. The new Villages are going to be very important for players to find in the early game, especially with the variety of blocks that are available to harvest from them. It would be nice if Mojang introduced some method for Server Owners to either increase or decrease the quantity of Villages being generated throughout a world to work towards a server's unique needs.
While Sweet Berries themselves will likely not become a very reliable or popular food item (unless they can be used for Potions), the Berry Bushes they grow on might be a popular alternative to Cacti and Magma Blocks for creating traps or automated farms (since they don't destroy items like Cacti and can't be bypassed with sneak like Magma Blocks).
The increased difficulty and length of Raids could make for some really fun coop activities for players to get involved in. While a single wave of Pillagers isn't difficult to get through for one person, multiple waves could be pretty challenging. The Pillagers are relentless, and the power of Illager Beasts is devastating. Right now Bad Omen can only be stacked up 5 levels, but an ambitious developer could find a way to chain multiple levels together, or even spawn multiple Pillager waves at the same time, creating a real challenge for players.


today is my sons 21st birthday, and the 7th anniversary of his murder.
it was a list of his goals broken down into a time frame.
what he would think of my situation now.
if he would be the kind to take care of his momma when shes hurt.

Big Bad Mamas: Claudia Jennings (1949 - 1979)
Click to View Larger...Unfortunately, viagra many of the starlets from the b-movie heyday of the 60s and 70s died untimely deaths. Some from drugs, some from murder, and in the case of Claudia Jennings, an auto accident.
Claudia Jennings was born as Mary Eileen Chesterton on December 20, 1949 in St. Paul, Minnesota. She was raised in Milwaukee, WI. She later moved to Evanston, IL, where she graduated high school in 1967.
She then joined the Hull House theater company in Chicago, where she also took a job as receptionist at the offices of Playboy magazine.
Click to View Larger...She caught the eye of a Playboy photographer and was asked to test for the centerfold. Since there was a $5,000 fee if she was chosen, and since that could finance her move to Hollywood, she agreed. She eventually appeared as Playmate of the Month for November 1969, and was later chosen as Playmate of the Year in 1970.
With a beautiful face, and a body to match, (her measurements were 35-23-36,) Claudia was soon in demand for roles in the many exploitation movies being cranked out for consumption in Drive-In Theaters across the land. Claudia had one thing that many of her contemporaries did not, talent. She could read her lines and hit her marks like a seasoned pro.
Click to View Larger...Some of her more famous roles were in movies such as "The Unholy Rollers" (1972), "Gator Bait" (1974), "Truck Stop Women" (1974), and "The Great Texas Dynamite Chase" (1977). She also made numerous television appearances, even guest starring in "The Brady Bunch" in the 1973 episode "Adios, Johnny Bravo".
Claudia was reportedly up for high profile television roles such as the title role in "Wonder Woman", which went to Lynda Carter, and as as Kate Jackson's replacement on "Charlie's Angels", but apparently her 4 appearances in Playboy scared network executives off. (A common fate for former Playboy Playmates. (See Julie McCullough.)
Click to View Larger...Claudia's life came to an untimely end on the morning of October 3, 1979. She had recently ended a tumultuous relationship with a boyfriend and was on her way to his house to retrieve her belongings, when a van hit her as she drove in her Volkswagen Beetle convertible.
Claudia had been known to have drug problems during her life, but no trace of drugs were found in her system after her death.
Claudia was 29 years old. She was 2 1/2 months shy of her 30th birthday.

Inspirational Songs – Music With Inspiring Lyrics – Analysis Of Inspirational Quotes From Songs
The first inspirational song on our list is The Road Less Traveled Song, which as the name suggests is inspired by Robert Frost's famous poem The Road Less Traveled.
It's a song about living life. The song is narrated by a modern protagonist who faces decisions that don't pan out exaclty as he had hoped. He is left to process the results of those decisions internally, which is where all the drama and tension happens in this songs.
Here is the song and below are the inspirational quotes from this song and their analysis:
Here are some of the inspirational quotes of lyrics from this song:
The first interesting lyrics are:
Bracing for the glistening sword, another blow cut my battle short.
This is a metaphor for something that usually happens in life. Usually, we brace ourselves for certain challenges or dangers, but then we get hit my a whole set of unexpected challenges or dangers that we now have to deal with.
Sometimes, when you are hit with unexpected challenges and don't quite perform to your best, it can be haunting as you think back to that moment. You keep judging yourself for a long time. Songs with metaphors make music much more interesting and we have an interesting metaphor right from the start. That is what the next line is about:
This moment echoed in my mind and didn't budge as dignity became my judge.
That concludes the song's first verse after which we have the chorus with the following lyrics:
Awareness wants to look away.
But her imagination likes to play.
Regret and pride fought as my mind unraveled.
Looking back at my road less traveled.
This alludes to the difficulty of controlling one's own mind as it plays and does whatever it wants. But in the end, the mind can easily unravel when it looks back at the decisions we made on our road less traveled.
The second verse of the song discusses the experience on being on the wrong path and knowing that you are on the wrong path. The challenge is getting off it because we've invested so much into our current wrong path that we just keep going forward on it.
Time heals unless self-pity's your romance.
Wrong decisions kept me in a trance.
My baggage heavier, still I forged on.
Can't veer off my road….too much time gone.
After that, the song gets into the bridge, which is usually a part of the song where something unusual or different happens. In the case of this song's bridge, the protagonist has a confession that much of his life's effort was spent on fighting with himself and trying to overcome his shortcomings and not be his own worst enemy. Of course, the inspirational moment comes at the end of the bridge where he also realizes with a sense of pride that even though things didn't go as planned, he fought hard and gave it a strong effort.
I fought myself right from the start, keeping me from fully following my heart.
Don't wish my road on anyone – it pained and left me stunned.
But you know what I faced it, fought, wavered, but didn't run.
This leads us to the last verse of the song where it seems like the hero of the song might get another chance to make better decisions and not be his own enemy. But deep down, he knows himself and that he can't change so easily. Instead, he focuses to embrace his turmoil, which is where the song leaves it. It's inspirational in that it's real and relatable. Despite the challenges, this does not become a sob song, but rather a song that deals with things in the best way the hero of the song can.
I thought I'd give another chance my all.
Deep down I knew I'd cause myself to fall.
And though I've often longed for days without strife,
What can I do? This turmoil made my life.
Here is the full page about my Road Less Traveled song.
Another Inspirational Song – A Love Song Using Shakespeare's Quotes
This is an original song of mine in which I put four of the best Shakespeare's quotes. I thought it was a fun thing to try and after its debut, the song has gotten positive reviews noting its unique approach.
Listen to the song here with the lyric analysis below:
The lyrics of the song begin by asking a question about what would happen to Romeo and Juliet if they didn't die. They were just teens in their famous love story. But what if they had to live together fifty more years? Would things remain as romantic for them?
What-if Shakespeare tricked us all,
With Romeo and Juliet's rise and fall.
Would these teens share joy or tears,
Unsaved by death together fifty more years?
This sets the stage for the song which is destroyed rather quickly because the chorus starts right after that first verse with tow devastating and devastatingly creative Shakespeare quotes:
I'm shaken by what Shakespeare once realized "Love is a smoke made with fume of sighs."
But if I were to describe you with a line from his scripts I'd say,
Ooooh sweet "witchcraft on your lips."
When I first came across these lines from Shakespeare, I was absolutely floored. "Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs." How incredible real and sad and inspiring and insane is that, all at the same time? But that's not it – "witchcraft on your lips" – imagine kissing someone whose lips put a spell on you in a way that feels like witchcraft.
After the chorus, the song moves into verse two where the protagonist of the song imagines a love between him and his romantic partner. He falls asleep dreaming of his love and in his dream, Shakespeare comes to him, whispering a new sonnet just for him and his love. In the next verse, their love has another high with the following lyrics:
It was us in his new tale of love.
Fifty years we'll dance with stars above.
On Romeo and Juliet's balcony.
In each other's hearts of hearts we'll be.
This verse uses another Shakespeare quote, which is "heart of hearts." And it has pretty imagery with the lines "Fifty years we'll dance with stars above on Romeo and Juliet's balcony." That references that very same balcony where Romeo spoke so romantically to Juliet. By the way, this balcony comes back later in the song. But imagine dancing with your love on Romeo and Juliet's balcony with stars above. Isn't that that just a magical image?
After that beautiful image, the song segues into the bridge for a little bit of a change of pace. Here are the bridge lyrics:
Without Shakespeare, our love would be a clock that races to loss imprinted on our faces.
Grasping for faint traces of passion slipped and wasted through hands that held embraces desperate for love's graces,
Never to replace it.
But you and i will never have to face this.
This bridge is meant to resonate with anyone who has ever lost a love and wants to have it back but can't. It's quite sad. But the hero of the song ends these lines saying that he and his romantic partner will never face this. After that, the son moves on to the last verse. Here are the lyrics from the last verse:
Each night falling asleep under star glow,
I'll whisper like Romeo long ago.
Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
These are the lines that Romeo actually said during that famous balcony scene, which is a sweet way to end the song and complete it. This gives the song quite an inspirational feel by portraying a level of love that could be possible. Plus, using actual Shakespeare quotes gives this song a whole new level of deep song lyrics.
This song was released in two versions. The above version is the acoustic Shakespeare song. Here is a slightly more upbeat version of the Shakespeare song with more and different instruments:
Another Inspirational Rock Song With Lyric Quotes Analysis – The One Who Didn't
Just like the previous song referenced Shakespeare, this song references Beethoven and the 5th Symphony which has the famous and widely recognizable 4-note DA-DA-DA-DA motif. This motif is a metaphor for a knock on the door. In fact, it's your life urgently knocking on your door and asking what you are doing with your life.
Here is the song and below is the lyric and quote analysis:
The song starts with the protagonist sharing his origin story of how he chose his own path while hearing Beethoven's famous 4-note motif as a metaphor for a knock on the door.
There wasn't a road to the vision I had.
But I hopped on my horse and galloped like mad.
The sound of fate had knocked on my door.
It was Beethoven's fifth from centuries before.
Of course, when you do anything original or unique, people first mock you despite themselves being miserable and unhappy. That's what the second verse of the song is about. We can of course disregard those people, but some of their negativity can stay with us, which is also referenced in the second verse.
The crowds mocked me – said I aim too high.
They viewed their fate through smaller eyes.
But they planted doubt that rooted in me.
And I saw a future I couldn't unsee.
This protagonist suffers from having negativity planted in his mind and imagines himself as a failure, or "the one who didn't" accomplish anything. That can be quite a haunting and harrowing image, which he obsesses over in the chorus:
What if I become the one who didn't?
The one who didn't. The one who didn't.
Didn't feel my strength. Didn't sing my song. And didn't inspire – didn't inspire.
Didn't find my love.
Didn't kiss the girl who is waiting alone – waiting alone – waiting alone waiting alone.
The intensity of the chorus grows just as the intensity of the protagonist's fear and madness grows. After the chorus ends, we get back to the story of the protagonist.
This ghost in my mind chased me for years.
As I raged forward running from fears.
Did I run away or chase some make-belief crown?
I got so crazed – even the critics quieted down.
The last line hits home with live audiences and I often hear audible "ooohs" while playing. But it's not all about just trying hard. Real life doesn't have a medal for hard work. Real life, it seems, has a medal for achievement. But even that isn't true as shown in the next verse.
Soul not sold, I became a lion who roared.
But my heart didn't soar – what was it all for?
Is Beethoven's fifth to thank or blame,
For that lightning strike that kindled my flame?
That's a little bone-chilling. Imagine working all your life towards something only to achieve it and find that it lacks any fulfillment and you've chased the wrong thing your whole life. You thought you were on your way to being the one who did something with their life, but really didn't. That's a devastating situation. But the protagonist doesn't lose hope or resilience. In the next verse he sets out to start another journey with his head high and unafraid.
Journey completed – fulfillment omitted.
But To Ludwig's 5th – I'm forever committed.
My soul still bursting from every pore.
Laughing madly, I charged gale winds once more.
That's real courage and real inspiration – the kind required by life.

Taste the fruit of band recorded winning all against the hour: quintessential prog ensemble captured on the edge of glory and presented on Blu-ray.
For many years, YES were being both blessed and blamed for bringing out the best and the worst in art-rock – of only because, through the multitude of line-up permutations, they have always stood out, sonically and visually. For many fans, though, "Yessongs" – shown in cinemas in 1975 yet filmed on December 15th, 1972 in London – was the only chance to actually see the collective; even for those who attended concerts but didn't manage to get near the stage. The classic quintet's first concert film allowed to enjoy almost every detail of what they did, so even if it omitted a few precious pieces played then – "Heart Of The Sunrise" would make a dramatic change to the footage flow – it still remains a priceless document of the group's transition from progressive beginnings to greatness and immortality.
Captured here, these virtuosi, instead of being infamously indulgent, seem to be reining in their flamboyance as performers, and in place of impeccable brilliance this ensemble are known for we witness quite a raw band bent on giving the spectator vigorous music without relying on elaborate stage sets which simply weren't there yet to add light and color to the darkened space. Hence Chris Squire's leaps and Steve Howe's demonic attack on instruments – he's playing slide guitar while having a double-neck on for the main theme of "And You And I" – but then, the live building of intricate vocal harmonies, especially the counterpoint between Squire and Jon Anderson, the group's founders whose melodic weave defined the collective sound, reflects their inherent art leanings, despite the singer looking not as self-conscious and sophisticated as he would a litle bit further down the line.
Anderson is a sole island of humanity amidst otherworldly intensity of "Close To The Edge" – the titular epic from the album the band were promoting at the time – although Rick Wakeman, playing in front of a giant mirror with a straight face, weaves "Jingle Bells" into the "Six Wives" excerpts and provides an earthly kind of entertainment. The line-up, who only recently acquired drummer Alan White, feels very loose on "Yours Is No Disgrace" – one of the earliest numbers in the group's repertoire – and the organic nature of what they do is stressed by footage of nature which intersperses concert shots; more so, a lot of this footage has to do with growth which stresses the group's own creative development. That's where their progressive motion is being brought to the fore, although – from opener "I've Seen All Good People" to the finale of "Roundabout" – they're as eager to revert to the band's rhythm-and-blues roots and rock away.
This quality would soon be gone for good – that is why "Yessongs" is so special. The Blu-ray release adds a surround mix to the original mono; the 40th anniversary documentary expanding the context via interviews with Chris, Steve and graphic designer Roger Dean; and Howe's "Beginnings" featurette – a genuine gem, restored rather gloriously, which, unfortunately can't be said of the main footage. But, again, from a purely historical – and musical – perspective, it's impossible to underestimate.

As a rather impressionable 15-year-old, my older sister often hauled me around with her to support her local musician friends at their various performances throughout the Illinois Valley.
This was a treat for my teenage self and even more so when her friends Will and Alex, collectively known as Taxflo, played in the area. These guys really set themselves apart from the small town-Illinois scene: They performed ambient sounds with guitars, drums, electronics and, occasionally, vocals.
I often became entranced by their Sigur Ros-like music when hearing them live and was thrown through a loop when, one day, my sister and I arrived at the town coffee shop to hear them play only to find their equipment to be replaced by toy piano, little drums, recorders and a harp. Fortunately, these changes made a positive impression on me, and I am excited to hear this same music on Saturday in the Lair.
Harpist and songwriter Timbre performed with Taxflo that evening so many years ago, and, if you so choose, you can also hear her live. I highly recommend you attend and also that you listen to her music beforehand. Her entire recorded collection is available on bandcamp http://timbre.bandcamp.com/.
Timbre's sound is warm and inviting, often adding multiple instruments and vocals on top of her harp lines. On one of her latest releases, Little Flowers, sounds of brass, strings and percussion, along with the percussive quality of her harp contribute to a very joyful and quietly energetic tone. The title track of the album, "Little Flowers," contains an especially effective use of accordion in duet with harp.
Timbre is traveling to Northfield from Nashville, so please, if you can, show your support and help her have a great visit to campus.
Also this weekend, campus bands Midnight Moonshine, Merino Wool and The Glorious Misfortune are performing in the Pause on Friday at 8 p.m. We are fortunate enough to have fine musicians surrounding us on campus, and I am sure they would much appreciate your attendance this weekend.

Volleyball is an Olympic team sport in which two teams of 6 active players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points against one another by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.
The complete rules of volleyball are extensive, and points are awarded as follows: If the ball touches the ground outside the court area, the team which made contact with it last loses the point. If the ball touches the ground on team A's side of the net, team B is awarded a point, and vice-versa. The ball must be hit over the net to get a point.The team who wins the point then serves. The first team to reach 25 points wins the set and the first team to win three sets wins the match. Teams can contact the ball only three times before the ball crosses the net, and consecutive contacts must be made by different players. The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body.
Through time, volleyball has developed to involve common techniques of spiking, passing, blocking, and setting, as well as specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures. Because many plays are made above the top of the net, vertical jumping is an athletic skill emphasised in volleyball. This article focuses on competitive indoor volleyball, which is carefully regulated and played indoors. Numerous variations of volleyball have developed for casual play, including the Olympic spin-off sport beach volleyball.
On February 9, 1895, in Holyoke, Massachusetts (USA), William G Morgan, a YMCA physical education director, created a new game called Mintonette as a pastime to be played preferably indoors and by any number of players. The game took some of its characteristics from tennis and handball. Another indoor sport, basketball, was catching on in the area, having been invented just ten miles (sixteen kilometers) away in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts, only four years before. Mintonette (as volleyball was then known) was designed to be an indoor sport less rough than basketball for older members of the YMCA, while still requiring a bit of athletic effort.
The first official ball used in volleyball is disputed; some sources say that Spalding created the first official ball in 1896, while others claim it was created in 1900. The rules have evolved over time; by 1916, the skill and power of the set and spike had been introduced, and four years later a "three hits" rule and back row hitting guidelines were established. In 1917, the game was changed from 21 to 15 points. In 1919, about 16,000 volleyballs were distributed by the American Expeditionary Forces to their troops and allies, which sparked the growth of volleyball in new countries.
At the 1988 Games, Karch Kiraly and Steve Timmons led the U.S. men's team to a second straight gold medal. In 1992, underrated Brazil upset favourites C.I.S., Netherlands, and Italy in the men's competition for the country's first Olympic gold medal. Runner-up Netherlands, men's silver medalist in 1992, came back under team leaders Ron Zwerver and Olof van der Meulen in the 1996 Games for a five-set win over Italy. A men's bronze medalist in 1996, Serbia and Montenegro (playing in 1996 and 2000 as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) beat Russia in the gold medal match in 2000, winning their first gold medal ever. In 2004, Brazil won its second men's volleyball gold medal beating Italy in the finals. In the 2008 Games, the USA beat Brazil in the men's volleyball final.
The game is played on a volleyball court 18 meters long and 9 meters wide, divided into two 9 m × 9 m halves by a one-meter wide net placed so that the top of the net is 2.43 meters above the center of the court for men's competition, and 2.24 meters for women's competition (these heights are varied for veterans and junior competitions).
Each team consists of six players. To get play started, a team is chosen to serve by coin toss. A player from the serving team (generally accepted to have the advantage inplay) throws the ball into the air and attempts to hit the ball so it passes over the net on a course such that it will land in the opposing team's court (the serve). The opposing team must use a combination of no more than three contacts with the volleyball to return the ball to the opponent's side of the net. These contacts usually consist first of the bump or pass so that the ball's trajectory is aimed towards the player designated as the setter; second of the set (usually an over-hand pass using wrists to push finger-tips at the ball) by the setter so that the ball's trajectory is aimed towards a spot where one of the players designated as an attacker can hit it, and third by the attacker who spikes (jumping, raising one arm above the head and hitting the ball so it will move quickly down to the ground on the opponent's court) to return the ball over the net. The team with possession of the ball that is trying to attack the ball as described is said to be on offense.
The game continues in this manner, rallying back and forth, until the ball touches the court within the boundaries or until an error is made. The most frequent errors that are made are either to fail to return the ball over the net within the allowed three touches, or to cause the ball to land outside the court. Other common errors include a player touching the ball twice in succession, a player "lifting" the ball, a player touching the net while attempting to play the ball, or a player penetrating under the net into the opponent's court. There are a large number of other errors specified in the rules, although most of them are infrequent occurrences. These errors include back-row or libero players spiking the ball or blocking (back-row players may spike the ball if they jump from behind the attack line), players not being in the correct position when the ball is served, taking more than 8 seconds to serve or playing the ball when it is above the opponent's court.
In 2008, the NCAA changed the minimum number of points needed to win any of the first four sets from 30 to 25. If a fifth (deciding) set is reached, the minimum required score remains at 15. In addition, the word "game" is now referred to as "set".
Top Spin: an overhand serve where the ball gains topspin through wrist snapping. This spin causes the ball to drop faster than it appears to a passer receiving it.
Jump Float: This is a serve like the jump serve and the floater. The ball is tossed lower than a topspin jump serve, but contact is still made while in the air. This serve is becoming more popular amongst college and professional players because it has a certain unpredictability in its flight pattern.
As with passing, one may distinguish between an overhand and a bump set. Since the former allows for more control over the speed and direction of the ball, the bump is used only when the ball is so low it cannot be properly handled with fingertips, or in beach volleyball where rules regulating overhand setting are more stringent. In the case of a set, one also speaks of a front or back set, meaning whether the ball is passed in the direction the setter is facing or behind the setter. There is also a jump set that is used when the ball is too close to the net. In this case the setter usually jumps off his or her right foot straight up to avoid going into the net. The setter usually stands about ? of the way from the left to the right of the net and faces the left (the larger portion of net that he or she can see).
Kill- when someone scores a point and touches the ball.
Liberos are defensive players who are responsible for receiving the attack or serve. They are usually the players on the court with the quickest reaction time and best passing skills. Libero means 'free' as they have the ability to substitute for any other player on the court during each play. They do not necessarily need to be tall, as they never play at the net, which allows shorter players with strong passing and defensive skills to excel in the position and play an important role in the team's success. A player designated as a libero for a match may not play other roles during that match. Liberos wear a different color jersey than their teammates.
Outside hitters or Left side hitters attack from near the left antenna. The outside hitter is usually the most consistent hitter on the team and gets the most sets. In accurate first passes usually result in a set to the outside hitter rather than middle or opposite. Since most sets to the outside are high, the outside hitter may take a longer approach, always starting from outside the court sideline. In non-beginners play, there are again two outside hitters on every team in every match.
Opposite hitters or Right side hitters carry the defensive workload for a volleyball team in the front row. Their primary responsibilities are to put up a well formed block against the opponents Outside Hitters and serve as a backup setter. Sets to the opposite usually go to the right side of the antennae.
Prisoner Ball - also played with volleyball court and a volleyball. People can be called out, back in.
Footvolley - a sport from Brazil in which the hands and arms are not used but most else is like beach volleyball.

The crisis was yesterday deepened by the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos and Port Harcourt, which gave conflicting rulings on the status of the party's leadership.
After last weekend's parallel conventions in Port Harcourt and Abuja, three people have been claiming the leadership of the troubled former ruling party. They are: Senator Ahmed Makarfi, the caretaker chairman appointed in Port Harcourt, Prof. Jerry Gana, the Interim chairman picked in Abuja and Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff, who was removed by the governors.
In Lagos, Justice Ibrahim Buba declared the Makarfi-led caretaker panel a nullity.
He declared Shefiff as the authentic chair and ordered the police to enforce the order.
In Port Harcourt, Justice A.M. Liman stopped Sheriff from parading himself as the chairman and directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise the Makarfi-led caretaker committee.
Justice Buba held that the Sherrif-led executive should remain in office until the suit is determined.
He ordered the police to ensure that the order is enforced.
The committee, headed by a former governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, was appointed last Saturday following the party's shelved convention.
Members are Senator Ben Obi (national secretary), Sen. Odion Ugbesie, Sen. Abdul Ningi, Mr. Kabir Usman, Mr. Dayo Adeyeye and Alhaja Aisha Aliyu.
Justice Buba held that the committee was appointed in violation of an order he made on May 12.
He had barred the party from conducting elections into offices of PDP national chairman, national secretary and national auditor, pending the hearing and determination of the suit.
The judge had also restrained INEC from monitoring the election.
The plaintiffs – Sheriff, National Secretary Prof. Wale Oladipo and National Auditor Alhaji Fatai Adeyanju – prayed the court for an interlocutory injunction restraining PDP from conducting any election into the offices of the National Chairman, National Secretary and National Auditor, which they occupied, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
Justice Buba said he would not allow his order to be violated without consequences, adding that he had an obligation to ensure his directives were obeyed.
"No court can make an order in vain," he held.
Oladipo's and Adeyanju's lawyer, Ajibola Oluyede, told Justice Buba about an application filed yesterday in which he prayed the court to invoke its disciplinary powers.
He said: "Certain steps were taken to remove the plaintiffs from their office, notwithstanding your lordship's interlocutory injunction which restrained the respondents from taking such steps.
Justice Buba said although Oluyede's application was not ripe for hearing, he was bound to protect the court's sanctity against violation of its orders.
He said to ignore the flouting of a court order was to invite anarchy.
The judge added: "Therefore, the Inspector-General of Police is directed to enforce the orders of this court until the order is set aside or all the applications before the court are disposed of.
"Because of the nature of this matter, being political, time is hereby abridged for the hearing of all applications," he said.
The judge warned the Makarfi-led committee "not to act in that capacity in defiance of this order".
Before the ruling, there was a scene as two lawyers, Ahmed Raji (SAN) and Godswill Morakpor, were locked in a heated argument over who, between them, was authorised to represent the PDP. Both announced appearance for the party.
Raji said: "There was no attempt to change counsel. I am the counsel on record for the second defendant (PDP). The new caretaker committee has re-validated my appointment. This is the letter," he said, handing the letter to Justice Buba.
But, Morakpor said he was the one authorised to represent PDP, not Raji.
Raji, however, claimed he was not served with an application for change of counsel for PDP.
The court's bailiff was sent for, and he confirmed that he indeed served Raji with the application at his office.
Justice Buba held that Morakpor is the recognised counsel for PDP, adding that both lawyers could not appear for the same client.
Justice Buba said: "Granted, Mr Raji (SAN) is the former counsel on record, but the filing of notice of change of counsel and service of same has legal consequences. This court is one of record. The court can only grant Mr Morakpor audience. There is no room for response under Order 9 of the rules of this court," Justice Buba held.
He adjourned the hearing till Friday.
In another development, there seems to be tension in the Ekiti State civil service over the five month salary arrears owed workers.
The workers are also aggrieved over government's failure to pay last December deductions.
The state councils of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Joint Negotiation Council (JNC) have issued another 48-hour ultimatum to the government to pay the December deductions or face an industrial action.
Labour had last Tuesday issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the government to pay deductions or face a strike but this was overshadowed by the national strike called by NLC, which began last Wednesday.
The workers are angry with the labour leaders for giving preference to agitation for deductions rather than the salary arrears.
The December 2015 salary was paid to workers in March but only the net was paid without deductions to cooperatives, check off dues to unions, among other miscellaneous payment totaling N512 million.
The state TUC boss, Odunayo Adesoye, told reporters that labour leaders are meeting at press time to discuss what would be the next line of action, consequent upon another 48 hours ultimatum issued to the governor to comply with the early demand.
Some workers, who pleaded for anonymity, slammed labour leaders for "taking it easy" with the government when many of them had turned to "beggars".
But a worker, who identified himself as Ojo Ajewole, said: "The labour leaders are no longer representing our interest but only fighting for their own benefit.
"How can they be requesting for the payment of only deduction in December salary when five months salaries have not been paid. This is unheard of. They are advocating for the payment of deductions, so that check off dues to unions can be paid for their own enjoyment," he alleged.
Adesoye described the allegation as unfounded, saying only N12 million of the aggregate of the deductions will go to trade unions and their affiliates.
He said: "What we are advocating for is the payment of the deductions, so that cooperative societies will be viable enough to lend money to workers to confront the present hardship.
"We were at the meeting for the sharing of the last state allocation, where we agreed that subventions to the State University, College of Education and College of Science and Technology, Ijero-Ekiti should be paid, while the next allocation will be for the payment of other workers.
"We were in that meeting, we participated, we knew the financial position of the state and it was difficult for us to turn around and fight the government on why salaries are not paid.

US Government Signs Deal with GSK to Develop Antibiotics
Pharmaceutical Technology Editors
Partnership will support development of drugs to fight antibiotic resistance and bioterrorism.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), have agreed to a collaboration that will support the development of several antibiotics to fight antibiotic resistance and bioterrorism, GSK announced in a press release.
This public-private agreement is the first time that HHS has taken a "portfolio approach" to funding drug development with a private sector company. The approach provides flexibility to move funding around GSK's antibacterial portfolio, rather than focusing on just one drug candidate, and allows medicines to be studied for the potential treatment of both conventional and biothreat pathogens.
Under the terms of the agreement, HHS will provide $40 million for the initial 18-month agreement and up to a total of $200 million if the agreement is renewed over five years.
The treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections is predicted to become a global crisis due to the scarcity of new antibiotics in the pharmaceutical industry's pipeline and a decrease in investment in R&D. Many companies have, in recent years, withdrawn from antibacterial R&D because of the scientific challenges and a lower return on investment.
"There is an urgent need to address antibiotic resistance and new models are needed to deal with this challenging area of drug development," said David Payne, head of GSK's Antibacterial Discovery Performance Unit, in the press release. "We strongly believe that innovative public-private partnerships such as this are integral to solving this critical healthcare issue, and we are delighted to work with BARDA in a more strategic way."
The work under this agreement will be governed by a BARDA-GSK joint oversight committee that will monitor progress, make decisions on the allocation of funds, and decide on the addition or removal of drug candidates from the portfolio.

Here's How Yelp SHINES in the Struggling Social Media Internet Sector
Eric McWhinnie Google+ Twitter
When you have such a highly covered initial public offering debacle such as Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), investors are constantly on the lookout for history to repeat itself in any way possible. The social media giant's stock recently took another leg downward as more shares became available for trading. However, at least one Internet name is escaping Facebook lockup expiration fatigue.
Earlier this month marked the first post-IPO lockup expiration for Facebook, bringing 271.1 million new shares to the market and boosting the number available for trade by 60 percent. Lockup agreements are nothing new, but rather just another part of the IPO process. They often require some shareholders to hold their position for a certain period of time, normally around 90 to 180 days. The purpose is to limit the market from being flooded with too many shares of a specific company.
Don't Miss: Is Facebook a BUY Now?
On Facebook's lockup expiration day, shares of the company closed more than 6 percent in the red and hit fresh all-time lows. The downward move sent a clear message to investors that they should fear the new flood of shares hitting several popular Internet companies. However, shares of Yelp (NYSE:YELP) completely defied this warning. The company, which aims to connect people with great local businesses by providing more than 30 million written local reviews, surged 22.5 percent on Wednesday as about 52.7 million shares became available for trading. "It's refreshing to see insiders with discipline," explained Michael Pachter, analyst at Wedbush Securities.
Billionaire Peter Thiel, partner at venture-capital firm Founders Fund and one of Facebook's earliest investors, attracted negative attention when documents revealed he sold 20.1 million shares of Facebook raising nearly $400 million following the company's lockup expiration. Angie's List (NASDAQ:ANGI), a membership service that complies consumer ratings of local service companies and contractors across the country, also received heavy selling pressure in the week following its August 14 lockup expiration. Shares plunged more than 25 percent as 25.2 million shares of the company became available for trading.
Although Yelp managed to surprise analysts and surge higher on its lockup expiration day, investors should keep in mind that the entire social media Internet sector remains suspect to long-term value. Facebook's stock price has been cut in half in only three months, while Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN) and Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA) have plunged 79 percent and 70 percent year-to-date, respectively. Even with Wednesday's strong showing, Yelp shares are down almost 10.5 percent for the year.
Shares of Yelp (NYSE:YELP) traded higher over 12% in the past 5 trading days to close out the week at $22 per share.

Q: Retrieving deployment date and campaign owner of ExactTarget Campaign In Marketing Cloud, when you create a campaign, you have the option to set a deployment date and campaign owner as per the screenshot below.
I am trying to find what method I can use to retrieve the values for 'deployment date' and 'campaign owner' as the REST API method to Retrieve Single Campaign does not provide this in the response. Please can someone advise?

A: I spoke with the "powers that be" yesterday, and here is what they told me (direct quote):

Currently, there isn't a way to retrieve that information via Fuel. However, when 2014-04 is released to production (end of May), the following Fuel route will return deployment date and campaign owner:
https://www.exacttargetapis.com/hub-internal/v1/campaigns/{id}
Note that this is an "internal" route. That is, it isn't officially documented, and it's also subject to change. However, at least for the near term, that route will return the information that the customer needs.

Hope this helps!

When a weaker force, performing a certain function in the body of a primordial unity, is destroyed in power struggles, inherent in the system, that function collapses, threatening the existence of the system. It has to be immediately replaced so that the unity can continue as one- this is the expression of the dynamics of conflict, suffering and strife that perpetuates becoming, in case when this dynamics is not affirmed by all parts.
Nietzsche describes life as a "multiplicity of forces, connected by a common mode of nutrition". A new existential interpretation of the great philosopher, presented by Vinod Acharya in "Nietzsche's meta-existentialism" (Monographien und Texte zur Nietzsche- Forschung), explains the idea as follows: " A multiplicity of forces forms a relative unity through organization and co-operation when a single dominant drive or force comes to subjugate other forces, which also have the lust to rule. The ruling force interprets the subjugated forces by forming a political structure, by setting up an "order of rank and division of labor as the conditions that make possible the whole and its parts"(KSA 11, 40/21/). Nietzsche calls this political structure, "body (Körper),"which has its own "perspective" as a "complex form of specificity"(KSA 13, 14/186/). Each perspective or view-point - whether described as subjective or objective- "strives to become master over all space and extend its force" (KSA 13, 14/186/). In cases where a dominating force is unable to subjugate a drive to obey the command of its regime, it could leave this drive out of its unit, in order to continue preserving the relative stability of the unit. In other scenarios, where it can transform the weaker force into its functionary without destroying the latter, it seeks to form a new alliance (KSA 12, 9 /98/). Or, when there is another equally strong force that is also seeking to control the regime, the currently dominating force seeks to "conspire together (with the other force) for power", therefore forming a new sort of union (KSA 13, 14 /186/).

ST. LOUIS (November 13, 2014) –The Regional Arts Commission (RAC) has awarded ten fellowships totaling $200,000 to 10 local artists as part of its annual round of Artists Fellowships. This initiative was created based on results of the RAC sponsored Artists Count survey conducted in 2012, the largest survey of its kind in the United States. The survey was funded by The Kresge Foundation. It indicated that the most pressing need of regional artists was financial support in order to pursue their art and their careers.
This year marks the second year RAC has offered the RAC Artists Fellowships. Each year, 10 St. Louis artists are awarded a $20,000 fellowship, which is a financial investment in the careers of the selected artists. The funds will allow for the advancement of the individual artist's creative journey to include time and space to study, reflect, experiment, explore and create. These award amounts are not grants in the traditional sense but "fellowships" in terms of a financial endowment or investment in the careers of St. Louis artists. The RAC Artists Fellowships are among the few of known multi-disciplinary fellowship of its kind in the United States.
"It's critical to support artists in St. Louis so they can continue to work, live and thrive in our region. We recognize that artists are an essential source of our region's cultural vitality and the foundation for the success of our area's arts organizations," said Jill McGuire, executive director of RAC.
The commitment to directly support diverse artists is inherent in RAC's vision to transformSt.Louis intoa morecreative and economically thrivingcommunitythrough elevatingthevitality,value andvisibilityofthe arts.
If you have any questions about the Artists Fellowships, please contact Roseann Weiss, Director of Community and Public Arts, at roseann@stlrac.org or 314-863-5811.

Il trionfo (Triumph) è un film muto del 1924 prodotto e diretto da Cecil B. DeMille. La sceneggiatura di Jeanie Macpherson si basa sull'omonimo romanzo di May Edginton pubblicato a New York nel 1924.

Trama
King Garnet è figlio dell'industriale David Garnet. Innamorato di Ann Land, la chiede in moglie ma la ragazza - operaia nella fabbrica di Garnet - rifiuta la sua proposta perché vuole fare carriera come cantante. Dopo la morte dell'industriale, King dovrebbe ereditare l'impresa, ma il vecchio Garnet ha lasciato delle disposizioni che favoriscono alla fine William Silver, suo figlio illegittimo che diventa proprietario dell'azienda. King finisce a fare il barbone. Intanto, Ann è diventata una famosa cantante d'opera ma le sue corde vocali restano compromesse da un incendio che si sviluppa in teatro. Tornata a fare l'operaia alla Garnet, viene corteggiata da Silver. Anche King torna in fabbrica, dove inizia dalla gavetta, facendo l'operaio. Pian piano fa carriera e, alla fine, riuscirà a riavere il controllo della sua azienda insieme alla ragazza che ama ancora.

Produzione
Il romanzo della Edginton che diede spunto al film, prima di essere pubblicato in volume, uscì a puntate sul Saturday Evening Post dal 24 marzo al 21 aprile 1923. Il libro viene citato nei credit come Founded on a Saturday Evening Post story by May Edington.

Ambientato in una fabbrica di inscatolamento di sardine, il film - prodotto dalla Paramount Pictures (con il nome Famous Players-Lasky Corporation) - venne girato in parte in una vera fabbrica. Le riprese durarono dal 10 gennaio al 22 febbraio 1924. Nei titoli, appare il disegno di una lattina di sardina.

Distribuzione
Distribuito dalla Paramount Pictures, il film - presentato da Jesse L. Lasky e da Adolph Zukor - uscì nelle sale cinematografiche statunitensi il 28 aprile 1924. Il copyright del film, richiesto dalla Famous Players-Lasky Corp., fu registrato il 14 maggio 1924 con il numero LP20203.

In Italia, il film fu distribuito dalla Paramount nell'ottobre del 1925 con il visto di censura numero 22078.

Copie incomplete della pellicola - un nitrato positivo 35 mm e un negativo in acetato - sono conservate negli archivi dell'International Museum of Photography and Film at George Eastman House e in quelli della Library of Congress di Washington.

Censura
Per la distribuzione nel mercato italiano, la censura dell'epoca impose che nel 2° atto venisse soppressa la scena di violenza contro il materiale dell'officina e venisse eliminata la didascalia: "Egli ci considera come pecore da tosare, vacche da mungere. Bisogna dargli una lezione, scioperare, mandare all'aria la baracca, e imparerà a lavorare il Sig. Garnet". Nel 4° atto venne eliminata la didascalia: "Quando non si possiede ecc." fino a: "Abbiamo visto quanto sei ingeneroso tu Jon".

Racinos: Horse Racing's Salvation or Death Knell?
The marriage between casino and horse racetrack was first introduced in 1990 as an experiment run by the West Virginia Lottery Commission when it permitted Mountaineer Park to install video lottery terminals (VLT's) on its grounds. The horse racing community viewed it as a last-ditch effort by a cheap claiming track on the brink of extinction. Heck, there wasn't even a law in the books for such a thing…yet. When that "experiment" proved profitable, the California-based Excalibur Holding Company purchased Mountaineer Park for $4 million cash and another $2.7 million in stocks. In 1993 the West Virginia Supreme Court ruled that state law didn't allow for VLT's and the law needed to be changed. It did allow Mountaineer to continue operating VLT's up until the proper legislation – The Racetrack Video Lottery Act of 1994 – was passed. Today, thanks to the addition of 3500 spinning wheel slot machines, Mountaineer Racetrack has gone from a rundown racetrack to an entertainment complex with a hotel, golf course, spa, and theater.
Mountaineer may have been the first racino but it was the beleaguered Prairie Meadows racetrack in Iowa that became its biggest Cinderella story. After opening with much fanfare in 1989, Prairie Meadows started losing money right out of the gate. By November 1991, the long-suffering track had filed for bankruptcy. Live racing was suspended in 1992 but was brought back the next year thanks to revenue generated from simulcast wagering. Still, it seemed that it was only a matter of time until the hatchet fell on the Iowa track. Obviously, the next step was to dig an even deeper hole by spending $26 million to convert the clubhouse into a casino and install 1100 slot machines. It was the craziest of bets on the longest of longshots and yet, it paid off. Handsomely. On April 1, 1995, Prairie Meadows reopened with its shiny new slot machines and 150,000 gamblers flooded its gates. In its first year as a racino, Prairie Meadows earned $119.3 million. Its success didn't stop there – the larger revenue meant bigger purses which in turn attracted higher quality horses and more fans. And it wasn't just the racetrack that profited – Iowa's Thoroughbred breeding industry became the fastest growing of any state, going from twenty-eight to twelve in the number of foals bred within two years. Today, Prairie Meadows contributes an average of $27 million per year to the county's healthcare, arts, culture, education and infrastructure.
The racino gravy train wasn't limited to just Prairie Meadows and Mountaineer Racetrack, however. After adding slot machines in 1996, Charlestown racetrack saw its purses increase from $27,000 to $166,000 per day. A 2008 study of seventeen North American racinos showed that gross purses jumped from $135.3 million to $295.2 million after slot machines were installed – an increase of 118%. A cry went out across the land – racino's were the future of horse racing! The sport was saved! Or was it? The cold truth is that when slot machines are introduced at any racetrack, pari-mutuel wagering falls by twenty to forty percent. While slots do increase racino attendance, they also decrease its live-racing handle. Interestingly, slot machine revenue increases when live or simulcast racing is being conducted. In other words, it is horse racing that attracts patrons to go to a racino but once they arrive, slot hypnosis takes over and not even the second coming of Man O'War will pry them from their machines. Instead of being something to keep gamblers busy between races, slot machines have become their primary focus.
An excellent example of the effect of slot machines on simulcasting and live racing is Delaware Park. Before Delaware Park installed slot machines in 1994, 51% of wagering came from simulcasting from other tracks, 30.5% was from live racing and 18% was from Delaware's exported simulcast signal. In 2008, 70% of wagering came from Delaware's exported simulcast signal, 25% from imported simulcast signal from other tracks, and only 5% from live racing. While wagering on live racing has plummeted since the addition of slot machines, their revenue has caused Delaware's purses to jump from $650,000 to $35 million annually. Now with the legalization of sports betting and the addition of table games, horse racing may fade even further into the background. While these gambling alternatives provide more revenue for purses, they do nothing to attract new fans to the sport. If anything, they distract them from it. Betting on horse racing requires skill, analysis and time whereas pressing a button on a slot machine does not. Plus, the payoffs are quicker.
Still, it's hard to deny that the benefits of installing slot machines, even if they come at a cost to live horse racing. Larger purse monies, better quality horses and upgraded backstretch facilities are just a few of the bonuses derived when racetracks transform into racinos. Racinos involve a lot less red tape than traditional casinos since the public already accepts them as gambling sites, already have gambling permits, no land needs to be acquired, and they can be constructed within months as opposed to years. Slot machines used to be viewed as the last desperate measure for struggling racetracks until January 28, 2004 when the renowned Saratoga Racetrack added 1,323 VLTs, 2 restaurants and a food court. Today racinos are legal in eleven states – Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia – with many more hoping to jump on the bandwagon. Like it or not, racinos are here to stay – hopefully not at the cost of live horse racing.

So, I was working on a story this week with a character name Marco. Only one problem. About every other time I used his name, I spelled it Macro. Did I see this mistake? No. But when I reviewed the story with text-to-speech? Oh, but did I hear it.
Every time I think: oh, this manuscript is pretty clean, I can skip the text-to-speech, I find something. So now, even though it takes time, I run everything through either a program on my PC or send it to my Kindle.
So … that's my writing tip for the week. If you don't have text-to-speech, you can always do it the old-fashioned way and read your story out loud.
In writing news, not as many words this week, but I did get some. I spent a lot of time with the revising, editing, and listening tasks–and ridding my story of a character named Macro.
Revising, editing, proofing, oh my!
