Clashing views color future of stalled N.Korea nuclear talks
By FOSTER KLUG and MATTHEW LEE
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — To hear a beaming Donald Trump at his June summit with Kim Jong Un in Singapore, the solution to North Korea's headlong pursuit of nuclear weapons, a foreign policy nightmare that has flummoxed U.S. leaders since the early 1990s, was at hand.
Since the remarkable claims made during the first-ever meeting of leaders from the archrival nations, however, there have been recriminations, simmering bad blood — and very little progress. In other words, just what skeptics in Seoul and Washington have come to expect from North Korean nuclear diplomacy.
So even as Trump says he's keen on another summit, possibly early next year, continuing sanctions and pressure from Washington are met with anger and foot-dragging from Pyongyang, which has bluntly stated that an "improvement of relations and sanctions are incompatible."
One of the problems is a matter of wording. The statement hammered out in Singapore, which called for "the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," was so vague that it seemed tailor made for a stalemate: Each side can claim to be right when they say that they've done more than enough and it's the other side's responsibility to act.
So where do we go from here?
A second summit seems the most likely answer.
Trump's national security adviser said such a meeting would not be a reward and that the president merely wants to give North Korea "a chance to live up to the commitments they've made at the Singapore summit."
"He's held the door open for them, they need to walk through it," John Bolton said in an interview with NPR. "And this is one more chance for Kim Jong Un who is the only decision maker that matters in the North Korean system to deliver on what he said in Singapore, and that's possible I think some time after the first of the year."
Other diplomatic channels have stalled, including talks between Trump and Kim's main envoys, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his North Korean counterpart Kim Yong Chol.
Pompeo did meet on Thursday in Washington with South Korea's foreign minister in a new attempt to push the process forward. The State Department said only that the two officials "reaffirmed the ironclad alliance between the United States and (South) Korea and pledged to maintain close coordination to ensure the final, fully verified denuclearization of (North) Korea."
Pompeo has traveled to Pyongyang four times this year, but canceled a planned meeting with a top North Korean official in New York last month when the North balked. Tentative plans to reschedule those talks, perhaps as early as next week, remain uncertain.
Meanwhile, Pompeo's invitation for Kim to name a counterpart for his special North Korea envoy, former Ford Motor Co. executive Stephen Biegun, and send that person to Vienna for lower-level working discussions, has gone unanswered.
The views from both Seoul and Washington are complicated.
South Koreans are famous for ignoring North Korean threats, including repeated vows to turn Seoul into a "sea of fire," but there were widespread fears of war last year amid threats and insults between Trump and Kim Jong Un as the North tested a string of increasingly powerful weapons. Even the most jaded would likely say that things are better now.
There has also been curiosity at the warming ties between South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Kim, who have had three summits and agreed on an unprecedented trip to Seoul by Kim, possibly in coming weeks. Among the more stunning sights this diplomacy has spawned has been Moon, who has worked doggedly behind the scenes to orchestrate the various summits, filling a water bottle at a "sacred" volcanic lake in the North, and Kim being spirited across the inter-Korean border, the world's most heavily armed, in an armored limousine, a phalanx of burly bodyguards jogging alongside.
But deep skepticism has always been the go-to mindset for many South Koreans, especially conservatives who have seen Moon's liberal presidential predecessors' engagement efforts with the North eventually fail to meet expectations. North Korea, it is true, has not conducted a nuclear or ICBM test since November 2017, but according to recent reports from private analysts it still is believed to be churning out nuclear bomb fuel and making headway on its missile program at more than a dozen facilities.
Like the others, the latest such report, released on Thursday, is drawn from commercial satellite imagery and shows activity at a previously undisclosed site where the North is believed to be expanding a missile base. "The base is a strong candidate to receive North Korea's newest long-range missiles, including those that can strike the United States," wrote the report's authors at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey.
Although Kim made no promises to halt such work, and U.S. and South Korean officials played down findings they said they were already aware of, analysts say they underscore the difficulty the Trump administration will face in getting the North to provide a full accounting of its programs so that they might be inspected and verifiably dismantled in the event a denuclearization deal is reached.
As Washington and Pyongyang have drifted further apart, Moon, his popularity numbers hovering around 50 percent, has scrambled to keep the diplomacy alive.
Moon's officials have pushed the narrative — and pushed aside skepticism from critics — that North Korea's suspension of nuclear and long-range missile tests and the dismantling of its nuclear testing site are meaningful steps toward an eventual total abandonment of nuclear weapons. They also briefly floated a proposal that Washington consider softer sanctions on the North.
Conservatives in Seoul, however, believe that Kim's outreach is meant to split Seoul from Washington, its military protector, so that it will be harder for the allies to boost sanctions and pressure should diplomacy fail. Any Trump-Kim summit redux, they say, needs to be prefaced with at least a declaration from the North of the extent of its secretive missile and nuclear programs; otherwise, it would just be another concession to a country that has spent years ramping up tension only to reap rewards by seeming to turn to diplomacy.
Still, in a place that has seen regular flare-ups of violence since the near-total destruction of the Korean War in the early 1950s, there's also interest in seeing if Trump and Kim can pursue in another summit a rare opportunity to test the sincerity of Kim's declaration that with his weapons program "complete," he intends to pivot to lifting his country up from poverty.
"With nuclear tensions on the Korean Peninsula dramatically reduced, it is time to find out if Kim's drive to improve the economy will eventually lead to denuclearization," Siegfried Hecker, a nuclear expert who has made regular trips to North Korea's nuclear facilities, wrote recently on 38 North, a website devoted to North Korea studies. "He may determine that his nuclear arsenal poses a significant hindrance to economic development that outweighs the putative benefits it confers. Washington and Seoul should work together to encourage rather than inhibit this potential shift."

WhatsApp skewed Brazilian election, proving social media's danger to democracy
Professor of Internet Governance and Regulation, School of Law, Fundação Getúlio Vargas
Luca Belli receives funding from the Open Society Foundations, the Council of Europe, the Internet Society. The views expressed in this article do not represent the opinions of any entity with which he is associated.
Misinformation via social media played a troubling role in boosting far-right Congressman Jair Bolsonaro to into the Brazilian presidency.
Bolsonaro did not win 55 percent of votes thanks to misinformation alone. A powerful desire for political change in Brazil after a yearslong corruption scandal and a court decision compelling the jailed front-runner Luis Inacio Lula da Silva to withdraw from the race both opened the door wide for his win.
But Bolsonaro's candidacy benefited from a powerful and coordinated disinformation campaign intended to discredit his rivals, according to the Brazilian newspaper Folha.
Days before the Oct. 28 runoff between Bolsonaro and his leftist competitor, leftist Fernando Haddad, an investigation by Folha revealed that a conservative Brazilian business lobby had bankrolled the multimillion-dollar smear campaign – activities that may have constituted an illegal campaign contribution.
Election scandal fallout
Using WhatsApp, a Facebook-owned messaging service, Bolsonaro supporters delivered an onslaught of daily misinformation straight to millions of Brazilians' phones.
They included doctored photos portraying senior Workers Party members celebrating with Communist Fidel Castro after the Cuban Revolution, audio clips manipulated to misrepresent Haddad's policies and fake "fact-checks" discrediting authentic news stories.
The misinformation strategy was effective because WhatsApp is an essential communication tool in Brazil, used by 120 million of its 210 million citizens. Since WhatsApp text messages are forwarded and reforwarded by friends and family, the information seems more credible.
The fallout from Folha's front-page report compelled WhatsApp to issue an apologetic op-ed.
"Every day, millions of Brazilians trust WhatsApp with their most private conversations," wrote WhatsApp's vice president, Chris Daniels, in Folha. "Because both good and bad information can go viral on WhatsApp, we have a responsibility to amplify the good and mitigate the harm."
The company announced that it would purge thousands of spam accounts in Brazil, clearly label messages to show that they had been forwarded, tighten rules on group messaging and partner with Brazilian fact-checking organizations to identify false news.
Brazil's highest electoral court also created an advisory board on internet and elections to investigate disinformation in Brazil's 2018 election and propose regulations to limit its impact in future political processes.
It's a WhatsApp-defined world
Brazil is only the latest country to learn that social media can undermine the democratic process.
Numerous studies have confirmed that a toxic blend of data mismanagement, targeted advertisement and online misinformation also influenced the outcomes of the United Kingdom's Brexit vote and the 2016 U.S. presidential race.
Brazil's WhatsApp election scandal should be a wake-up call particularly for other developing world democracies, as revealed in research I recently presented at the United Nations' Internet Governance Forum.
That's because the conditions that allowed fake news to thrive in Brazil exist in many Latin American, African and Asian countries.
Internet access is very expensive in Brazil. A broadband connection can cost up to 15 percent of a household's income and mobile plans with unlimited data, common in rich countries, are rare.
Instead, mobile carriers entice users by offering "zero rating" plans with free access to specific applications, typically Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter. Nearly three-quarters of Brazilian internet users had these prepaid mobile-internet plans in 2016, according to the technology research center CETIC.br.
Most Brazilians therefore have unlimited social media access but very little access to the rest of the internet. This likely explains why 95 percent of all Brazilian internet users say they mostly go online for messaging apps and social media.
Yet the "rest of the internet" is precisely where Brazilians might have verified the political news sent to them on WhatsApp during the 2018 election. Essentially, fact-checking is too expensive for the average Brazilian.
Concern over Africa's elections
Democracies in Africa, where more than a dozen countries will hold elections in 2019, are vulnerable to the same kind of lopsided access to information that influenced Brazil's presidential vote.
As in Brazil, many Africans get stripped-down internet access through Facebook's Internet.org and Free Basics platforms. But, worryingly, most African countries have little or no data protection and no net neutrality requirements that internet providers treat all digital content equally, without favoring specific apps.
In my analysis, Facebook and a handful of tech companies are now racing to collect and monetize the data gathered through sponsored apps, allowing them to profile millions of Africans. Lax government oversight means that people may never be informed that they pay for these "free" apps by exposing their personal information to data mining by private companies.
Such personal information is exceedingly profitable to advertisers in Africa, where Western-style public polling and consumer surveys is still rare. It is easy to imagine how valuable targeted advertising would be for political candidates and lobbies in the lead-up to Africa's 2019 elections.
Move fast and break democracy
Democracy cannot thrive when the electorate is intentionally misinformed about candidates, parties and policies.
Political debate driven by likes, shares and angry comments on social media increases polarization and distorts healthy public discourse. Yet evidence shows that insults, lies and polemics are what best drive the user engagement that generates that precious personal data.
For over a decade, social networks have been associated with free communication, unfettered by gatekeepers like news editors or fact-checkers. Many in Silicon Valley and beyond saw this innovative disruption as broadly beneficial for society.
That can be true when social networks are just one of many ways that people can engage in open and pluralistic debate. But when just a handful of apps are available to the majority of users, serving as the sole channel for democratic dialogue, social media can be easily manipulated to poisonous ends.
Mark Zuckerberg's longstanding motto was, "Move fast and break things." That catchphrase was retired in April 2018, perhaps because it is increasingly evident that democracy is among the things that Facebook and friends have left broken.
Luciane Mundstein, logged in via LinkedIn: I see whatsApp as totally opposite from wgat this article is saying. Before whatsApp the true did not come up do fast and effectively. Moreover the population's opinion never had space in the leftist newspaper and TV before social media. Considering in Brazil as I have seen as well around the world that most of the media channels are leftist (I don't know why), I see whatsApp and all social mefia as a chance for the truth and the reality. I just have a question: Why here in Australia I just see leftist news, which shows just opinions againt the population side? This news does not reflect my country's reality. Could you please bring something real about my country? The poll finished and until now some people did not accept its result. Why? If it was the will of most of Brazilians..please let the new government do what it has to do to improve our Country. After all we want something new, honesty and that be in favour of most of the population. I hope next time see some news about the reality with both sides of the story… Best regards.
Dragon NS, logged in via Google: Whatsapp is not a danger to democracy, it is a danger to the bloodsuckers that destroyed this country's economy and remaining reputation.
The quoted article from "Folha de São Paulo", the most powerful "news" media in this country, is the sheer example of what the real danger to democracy is, and not a free communication tool.
As much as I don't like the president-elect, it can't simply be implied that WhatsApp was the sole reason candidate "N" was elected when all sides benefitted off of it.
The only real danger to democracy is this leftist cult that wants to regulate internet information and the real democratic tools that allows people to freely communicate.
"Fake news" exists in both ends and it is as old as the roman empire. "Folha de São Paulo", the oldest of the centurions, used to be the biggest source of information read both physically and digitally by the majority of the population. Now that most of the population is aware of Folha's constant disinformation fed by political agenda, the giants have way less power.
The difference now is that people have tools with even more power and it collides directly with them.
Fake news is a problem tied to education, not the tools used to spread information. While we have, in one side, the non-contributing citizens fed by their parents that chant their unicorn-view of the world and, in the other side, the ones that can barely feed themselves working 12 hours a day with no opportunity for proper education, we will face the doom that misinformation can cause in all ends.
Kelly expected to depart White House amid Trump shake-up
By ZEKE MILLER and JILL COLVIN
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump inched closer to his long-teased major White House shake-up Friday, gearing up for the twin challenges of battling for re-election and dealing with the Democrats' investigations once they take control of the House. The biggest piece of the shifting picture: Chief of Staff John Kelly's departure now appears certain.
Trump announced he was picking a new U.S. attorney general and a new ambassador to the U.N., and at the same time two senior aides departed the White House to beef up his 2020 campaign. But the largest changes were still to come. Kelly's replacement in the coming weeks is expected to have a ripple effect throughout the administration.
According to nearly a dozen current and former administration officials and outside confidants, Trump is nearly ready to replace Kelly and has even begun telling people to contact the man long viewed as his likely successor.
"Give Nick a call," Trump has instructed people, referring to Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff Nick Ayers, according to one person familiar with the discussions.
Like all of those interviewed, the person spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matters.
Trump has hardly been shy about his dissatisfaction with the team he has chosen, and has been weighing all sorts of changes over the past several months. He delayed some of the biggest until after the November elections at the urging of aides who worried that adding to his already-record turnover just before the voting would harm his party's electoral chances.
Now, nearly a month after those midterms, in which his party surrendered control of the House to Democrats but expanded its slim majority in the Senate, Trump is starting to make moves.
He announced Friday that he'll nominate William Barr, who served as attorney general under President George H.W. Bush, to the same role in his administration. If confirmed, Barr will fill the slot vacated by Jeff Sessions, who was unceremoniously jettisoned by Trump last month over lingering resentment for recusing himself from overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller's Trump-Russia investigation.
Sessions was exiled less than 24 hours after polls closed. But Trump's broader efforts to reshape his inner circle have been on hold, leading to a sense of near-paralysis in the building, with people unsure of what to do.
Trump also announced that State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert is his pick to replace Nikki Haley as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and he said he'd have another announcement Saturday about the military's top brass.
All this came the same day that Trump's re-election campaign announced that two veterans of the president's 2016 campaign, White House political director Bill Stepien and Justin Clark, the director of the office of public liaison, were leaving the administration to work on Trump's re-election campaign.
"Now is the best opportunity to be laser-focused on further building out the political infrastructure that will support victory for President Trump and the GOP in 2020," campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement.
The moves had long been planned, and will give Kelly's eventual successor room to build a new White House political team.
Kelly was not at the White House Friday, but was expected to attend an East Room dinner with the president and senior staff.
Ayers, who is a seasoned campaign veteran despite his relative youth — he's just 36 — has the backing of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, the president's daughter and son-in-law and senior advisers, for the new role, according to White House officials. But Ayers has also faced some resistance. During Trump's flight home from a recent trip to Paris, some aides aboard Air Force One tried to convince the president that Ayers was the wrong person for the job, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Trump and Kelly's relationship has been strained for months — with Kelly on the verge of resignation and Trump nearly firing him several times. But each time the two have decided to make amends, even as Kelly's influence has waned.
Kelly, a retired Marine Corps four-star general, was tapped by Trump in August 2017 to try to normalize a White House that had been riven by infighting. And he had early successes, including ending an open-door Oval Office policy that had been compared to New York's Grand Central Station and instituting a more rigorous policy process to try to prevent staffers from going directly to Trump.
But those efforts also miffed the president and some of his most influential outside allies, who had grown accustomed to unimpeded access. And his handling of domestic violence accusations against the former White House staff secretary also caused consternation, especially among lower-level White House staffers, who believed Kelly had lied to them about when he found out about the allegations.
Kelly, too, has made no secret of the trials of his job, and has often joked about how working for Trump was harder than anything he'd done before, including on the battlefield.
White House political director Bill Stepien and Justin Clark, the director of the office of public liaison, are leaving the administration to work on President Donald Trump's re-election campaign. Both are veterans of Trump's 2016 operation.
The White House staff moves, announced Friday, come as Trump's political focus is shifting toward 2020 and in anticipation of a more partisan environment in Washington once Democrats take control of the House in January.
Trump's campaign manager, Brad Parscale, said in a statement that Stepien and Clark will work on "building out the political infrastructure that will support victory for President Trump and the GOP in 2020."
Stepien oversaw Trump's midterm campaign push, which included a series of rallies intended to help limit GOP losses. Republicans kept control of the Senate after last month's election, but lost their House majority, setting up a challenging two years for Trump under a divided Congress.
Clark joined the Trump campaign during the 2016 primaries, serving as deputy political director. Stepien, a former top aide to former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, signed on during the general election as national field director.

You are here: Home / Reviews / Polo Bingo
A gem of a bingo website.
Great selection of slot games on offer for players in search of something other than bingo.
Excellent deals and promotions on rotation meaning there's always a bonus up for grabs.
Four individual varieties of bingo with high standard games in each- great for pro players.
Fantastic mobile site that provides you with all the gaming fun of the desktop, on the go.
Polo Bingo Review
"It's play time", the official tagline for Polo Bingo proudly states. Well, like any avid fan of bingo and casino websites, we're certainly hoping that's the case. The homepage would certainly suggest this is the place to be if you fancy yourself as a bit of a pro gamer. Rather than opting for a page littered with information, presented with a somewhat overwhelming design, Polo Bingo's remit is evidently to keep things slick and, whilst maybe not minimal, certainly anything but cluttered.
The main slider image in the centre of the landing page – that's the picture that switches on rotation – is better than most, and for several reasons. Firstly, the quality of the imagery used is much higher than many other sites we have come across, and the images actually do change on rotation- many competitors clearly have a slider function, as that's known, but do not bother uploading more than one image, meaning it's just a static screen.
To the side of these there's a very thin menu bar, which has links including Join Now and Promotion. This looks very nice, although if there's one thing we would say it's not the most prominent menu bar, meaning it might be possible to actually miss this part, or at least not immediately notice that these options exist. Put simply, then, it's an incredibly fine line between cool design and impracticalities, although we'd have to judge this one as being the former of the two.
Forget Design, What About Games?
It's a fair question, and one we'll skip straight to the answer for. Put simply, along with the small size of menu, the actual information about the games on offer is also a little lacking. Below the slider image there are some small thumbnail images that show a number of games that are on offer, but this is clearly not the only selection that will be in the site itself once you sign up- more just a taster.
In many ways this is again a design error – most people will want to know exactly what they get for making the effort to sign up, and by not including a comprehensive run down of what's inside, many gamers are unlikely to bother going to the hassle of opening an account before they really understand what's what.
Below these thumbnails there are some bonus promotions shown, although again there are only two here, which is a small number by any standards. All that said, the small menu bar we mentioned earlier does have some small review results for the site, which are 9.5 rating excellent (it's not clear where this is from), suggesting that the website itself has been received very well by critics such as ourselves.
Clicking on Bingo
If you click on Bingo on the top menu row- not the small one to the left of the slider image – then things become a little clearer, which is great. Offered by the site are 90-Ball Bingo, 75-Ball Bingo, Guaranteed Bingo, and Bingo Chat Rooms. All pretty self explanatory, this is a much better and more varied selection than we're often used to seeing, and goes someway towards convincing us – and most likely you – to sign up for an account.
Slots and More
If you click on the Slots option on the top menu row then you will immediately be shown a run down of the slots on offer. We're big, big fans of slots overall, and the offering here is extensive to say the least, and that's just in the Online Slots category. There are some great titles included in the choices, and it definitely surpasses the average bingo site. More so, slots aren't the only ones that you can pick from, either. Click on Online Casino to bring up a relatively limited but nicely varied choice of casino games, including Baccarat, American Roulette, Deal or No Deal, European Roulette, French Roulette, Live Blackjack and Deuces Wild.
Next to these you can click on Instant Wins and – believe it or not – be shown all the instant win games on offer. Again, we're really fond of instant wins, as they are playable as hell, and, as the name suggests, offer the chance to win, instantly. There aren't many of these, at all, but the titles that are on offer are really quite impressive.
Massively Mobile
While the majority of bingo websites, like their casino counterparts, have branched out into mobile, few have done it as well as Polo Bingo. If you click on this option in the menu row you'll immediately be shown how this works- either log onto the standard URL – www.PoloBingo.com – from your mobile device and you'll automatically access the mobile version of the site, or scan the QR code shown on the desktop site with your mobile and the same principal follows.
The mobile site is fully responsive, rather than an afterthought, and this really makes a huge difference. It's a great alternative and one that will appeal to a huge number of people given mobile internet access – here in the UK at least – now surpasses desktop. Full marks for this part of the review then.
A Trick up the Sleeve
Polo Bingo offers a total of eight different promotions. Some are aimed at new members, others squarely at established members. The total number is less than some other bingo websites provide for, but certainly nothing you'd call offensive or overly limited. Some of the best, stand out promotions include Treasure Hunt £2,500 jackpot, which is a seasonal promotion (we tested the site during Easter) and presumably will change depending on the time of year.
The welcome offer is also very generous. Whilst many offer 150% or 250% of your first deposit added to your account to start playing, here it's a whopping 450%, up to £350, which is more than agreeable we're sure you'll agree. For those looking to spend a little, and win a lot, there are daily jackpots of up to £250 with just 1p required on your part, which is unbelievable value for money. Meanwhile, once a month there's also the chance to become a millionaire – i.e. by winning a million – which is again something you don't see every day.

OK, so perhaps not in terms of how plentiful some sections are- more casino games would be nice and there are other websites with more than four bingo varieties, nevertheless the games that are there are of a very high standard, really playable titles, and the slots options are great.
Add to this some really enticing deals and promotions, a fantastic mobile offering, and good support for players and the package starts to look complete. What more is there to say, then, other than you'd be best off opening an account here than the vast majority of other casino and bingo websites on the market.

Depression is among the major contributors to disease-related disability in women across the world. With almost two-time greater risk than men, the global annual prevalence of major depression in women was 5.5 percent in 2010 against 3.2 percent in men, representing a 1.7-fold increased incidence.
Women are more likely to develop depression, a common but serious mental health problem that alters the way one thinks and behaves in day-to-day life. They are almost twice at the risk of having depression than men, especially during childbearing and childrearing age. Nearly 12 percent women are believed to experience clinical depression at some stage in their lives and about one in 10 women suffer from postpartum depression or "baby blues," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Depression is a mental health problem in which an individual feels disheartened, sad, hopeless, unmotivated, or disinterested in general. When such feelings linger on for a brief period, it might be a case of the blues. However, when such feelings last for more than two weeks and when they start interfering with relationships, and other daily activities, like taking care of family and going to work or school, it may be a case of a major depressive episode.
A tragic experience, like the death of a loved one, or a difficult situation, such as increased susceptibility to a serious medical problem, often results into feelings of depression or stress. Since such occurrences go up with aging, there are many prevalent biases and stereotypes related to it. One of such biases is that older adults become fragile, senile and forgetful as they enter the later years of their life.
Clinical depression is among the most common psychiatric disorders in the United States that affected around 16 million American adults in 2015, as highlighted by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). It contributes to significant morbidity and consequent disability in people from all over the world. Feeling sad at times is normal but living with sadness for days and months may indicate that something is not right. Ignorance can be dangerous as it may cause a delay in identifying the problem and treating it.

What precisely do you need your application to do?
How are you going to make it request to clients?
What issue is it going to tackle?
In what capacity will it disentangle life for individuals?
In what capacity will you advertise your application?
You won't get by in any business in the event that you don't have very much characterized, plainly set objectives! An absence of vision will baffle you and any individual who you utilize to work for you. Before you do anything, make a reasonable picture of what you need done!
No! Regardless you can't turn on your PC. Presently you have to utilize the pen and paper that has the responses to the inquiries concerning your applications reason to build up an outline of what it will resemble. Here you move your obviously worded thoughts into visual portrayals of your considerations. Choose in the event that you will give your application away and offer advertisements to produce cash, or are you going to offer it as a paid download. You can likewise pick the choice to offer in application buys. In the event that that is something you will do, ensure you draw out those thoughts too.
Step 3: Research, research, and after that exploration some more.
Presently you can turn your PC on, yet not to begin aimlessly outlining your application. The leg work is no place close done. You need to burrow profound and inquire about the opposition of your application thought. I know you think you have exceptional thought, yet the numbers are not to support you—chances are somebody has officially attempted it. You can take a gander at this in two diverse ways. One you can end up noticeably collapsed and surrender, or two, you can analyze the opposition and improve your application. I incline toward the stepping stool. Read the opposition's audits. What did individuals like/despise about the application? At that point, utilize that data further bolstering your good fortune. Allude back to your pen and paper from steps one and two, and change and alter your thought as needs be.
Subsequent to perusing and changing, your exploration needs to move center a bit. It's an ideal opportunity to bridle the energy of the Internet. Is your application a really achievable thought? Here's the place you will look at copyright limitations and conceivable specialized holds ups. This progression is critical in light of the fact that it will spare you cash over the long haul. You can't advance and invest energy in a thought that won't work. Make sense of any glitches, and discover routes around them, (see I didn't state surrender—"an ounce of prevention..") so you don't need to back track.
Next, move your examination center to deals and promoting. Reflect back to your outline about how you will profit with your application. Is it accurate to say that you will stay with your unique thought, or would you say you will transform it? What is your specialty? It is safe to say that you are advertising to adolescents, guardians, youngsters, educators, voyagers, gamers? Confirm that intended interest group immediately. It will enable you to limit plan thoughts.
After you've depleted your foreknowledge abilities, you can start the fun stuff. Begin to search for plan thoughts. 99design is an extraordinary grandstand for looking at new and creative outline thoughts. Peruse through and see what fits your favor. Remember your intended interest group while analyzing outlines. A visual interest is essential to your last item.
In the innovation world, a wireframe is a celebrated story board. Here is the place you take your draw and your outline thought, and you give your thought somewhat more clearness and usefulness. This will end up being the establishment for your applications improvement, so it truly is a critical stride. There are piles of wireframing sites that you can use to enable you to carry your portrayals to advanced existence with usefulness like navigate and symbols. The trap is discovering one that you like and that is simple for you to utilize.
We cleared out off with your wireframe, so now in your application improvement, you have a storyboard of how you need your application to work. Presently it's an ideal opportunity to utilize that storyboard to begin look at usefulness.
Utilizing your wireframe, you have to portray your servers, APIs, and information outlines. There are some extraordinary do-it-without anyone else's help application manufacturers that can give you the instruments to effortlessly do this. Some of them even do if for you. In the event that you are hazy of what this specialized language implies, you ought to most likely utilize an administration that gives facilitating and a methods for gathering information about your application utilization.
Notwithstanding what technique you use to build up your application, it is basic that unmistakable outlines are made as they will fill in as the headings for everybody chipping away at your venture. Should you keep running over any specialized troubles, you should amend your wireframe to mirror any progressions.
Here's the place you have to bring in the troops. Demonstrate your demo to companions, family, and any other person who will give you productive feedback. Try not to squander your chance with individuals who will let you know, "Stunning, that is flawless." Seek out those pessimists and pundits. Ruthless genuineness is vital at this stage.
Try not to be reluctant to investigate their shoulder as they are looking at your demo to observe how they explore things. In the event that you have to modify any of the formats or route ways, do as such. Remember your clients, and attempt to take after their reasoning, not your own.
Your ultimate objective with this progression is to settle your applications structure and establishment. You need the brains of your application working before you begin adding configuration to maintain a strategic distance from disappointment later all the while.
With the establishment set up, you can begin to assemble the baffle to building your application. In the first place, your engineer will set up your servers, databases, and APIs. In the event that you are utilizing a quality do-it-without anyone else's help application developer, this will be accomplished for you. Bear in mind to think about the criticism you got from your analyzers. Adjust the applications usefulness to mirror any progressions you made in view of your first period of testing.
Now, it's a great opportunity to agree to accept the stores. You have to make a record with Google Play and Apple so you can get your application available. It might take a couple of days to experience the procedure, so don't tarry this progression.
Presently its opportunity to utilize the fashioners to make your UI, UI. The UI is a critical piece of your application since individuals are pulled in to what things look like and that they are so natural to explore. Through the outline procedure, you have to keep the input you got from your analyzers as a main priority, and you have to ensure the plan and the route mirror the criticism you got. How to plan your application?
In the event that you've procured a visual architect for your application, you should get high determination skins, or outwardly engaging screens in view of your wireframe, for your application.
In the event that you are utilizing a WYSIWYG editorial manager, you have to pick your format and design for your screens yourself. I'll push once more, remember that testing input when building up the look of your application. You are working for clients, not for you!
Step 9: Test Your App, AGAIN.
A moment round of testing is basic. In this round, you will have both a working application and also a UI to test. Every one of the screens of your application ought to appropriately work now, and your application ought to be outwardly engaging too.
You have to run a battery of tests on your application in its finished shape to guarantee that both the look and the vibe of the application live up to your desires. Proto.io and Pixate are extraordinary stages for testing your application. Both of these projects will enable you to add interactive connects to explore your application. They will enable you to look at the last layers, associations, and plan of your application too. You can utilize the data you get from this testing stage to enable you to push ahead.
You might be scratching your head and asking, "Didn't I do this with my wireframe?" The appropriate response is, "Well, sort of." While this may appear to be like your wireframe, it's significantly more itemized. Your wireframe was recently the skeleton of your application. Now, your application ought to be both stylishly satisfying and in addition working.
You've taken your model for a turn, and you've discovered that there are as yet a couple of changes you have to make. Since you've seen your application in it's completely working structure, you have to get back to the troops and request that they do likewise.

Fußball Bundesliga: Live-Konferenz – 17. Spieltag – 2022/2023
Bavaria : Cologne
The FC comes almost to the second good conclusion! Maina gets a throw-in on the left and reacts quickly to the passing Tigges. Maina is back on the baseline via detours, but Olesen almost misses his flat cross on the near post from three meters.
Hertha BSC: Wolfsburg
8th.
Lukebakio is sent deep from the central defense, but starts offside and has to give preference to the attentive Casteels anyway.
Hoffenheim: Stuttgart
Tooor for 1899 Hoffenheim, 1-0 through Andrej Kramarić
Guirassy just tries his luck from 24 meters from the right half. His shot goes clearly over it.
Bayern come into the offensive third for the first time, but the guests quickly push themselves together. The Munich team then lose the ball through one of the frequent inaccurate passes.
Sandro Schwarz looks served on the sidelines. Early set pieces are often a particular sign of a lack of attention. You can't use that in the relegation battle at all.
Tiago Tomás looks for Katompa Mvumpa, who is positioned in the center, with a pass from the left half-space. But the passport does not arrive.
Tooor for VfL Wolfsburg, 0:1 by Mattias Svanberg
Again Wolfsburg leads early! To the right of the penalty area, Wimmer puts the ball back for the free kick, then crosses into the back area, where Svanberg is left alone. In the jump he volleys the ball and hits the goal from the left with a slight deflection! Good finish, 0:1!
In the first few minutes, TSG makes a somewhat braver impression. VfB isn't really there yet.
Tooor for 1. FC Köln, 0:1 by Ellyes Skhiri
The FC rewards itself immediately! They keep the game in the Bayern half for the first few minutes and get the first corner through Olesen. Kainz serves from right to center, where Chabot extends from five yards to the second post. From a meter Skhiri runs through from behind and pushes right over the line. A popular variant of the FC, which has already scored twice against Dortmund.
The following corner is headed back and forth several times before Hertha can finally clarify. That's a crisp start for the guests!
The first degree for VfL! Van de Ven wins the duel on the left and then sends wind directly into the penalty area. His shot is blocked at the last moment!
Wolfsburg toasts. The ball rolls on the Spree. Let the wild ride begin!
It starts with a little moment of shock. Upamecano remains in the running duel after colliding with Maina, but is able to get up unaided and continue.
The game is running. The people of Cologne toast in their blue alternative dress, the people of Munich wear the usual red.
As a result of a short-played corner, the ball lands at Skov. The Dane hits him from 22 meters from half left but clearly over it.
The teams enter the lawn of the venerable Olympic Stadium in Berlin. The atmosphere is good despite the bitter cold. It will not be long!
Tobias Reichel will referee today's game. Line assistants Benedikt Kempkes and Christian Bandurski support the 37-year-old from Stuttgart.
The coach of the record champions makes no changes after the 1-1 draw against Leipzig. At FC there is the already mentioned change in central defense from Hübers to Soldo. Also, Olesen starts for Martel. On the offensive, Maina moves up next to Tigges because Baumgart would like to start with two strikers against a back four.
Nagelsmann says about the position: "Cooperation has never developed in the way we responsible people would like it to be". But he didn't want to "point a finger at anyone". Most recently, it was said that Nagelsmann would have liked to install another goalkeeping coach right from the start.
Hertha and VfL meet today for the 60th time. Berlin has been waiting for a win in this series for four games. Almost exactly a year ago, the teams also met on the second day of the game after the winter break. However, we are hoping for more than last year's disappointing 0-0 draw.
Speaking of 16th place: VfB is a very prominent team. Last weekend, the Swabians started the race with the new old coach Bruno Labbadia, but did not get more than a draw at home against 1. FSV Mainz 05 (1-1). Right out the back they were able to step up their game and almost scored the winning goal. But that's how it stayed with the division of points, which doesn't really help them. After all: With just one point, they can now – at least temporarily – overtake FC Augsburg and VfL Bochum in the table.
Niko Kovač would prefer not to make a change after a convincing 6-0 lead, but he is without Paulo Otávio (suspended) and Felix Nmecha (thigh injury). That's why Micky van de Ven moves to the left at the back, while Maxence Lacroix completes central defence. In addition, Mattias Svanberg starts in midfield. Both changes have already been tested against Freiburg.
The longtime goalkeeping coach is considered a close confidant of Manuel Neuer. It is said that Tapalovic was hardly included in the search for a successor for his long-time protégé. Today he is represented in the game preparation by ex-substitute Tom Starke.
At FCB, the hustle and bustle is currently located further back. As is well known, Neuer only injured himself more seriously after the World Cup in winter. The topic seemed to be closed with Yann Sommer's commitment after long negotiations, but now there is another chapter, because the separation from Toni Tapalovic was surprisingly announced.
As already mentioned, not everything was bad in the opening defeat against Bochum. Accordingly, coach Sandro Schwarz only turns a few adjustment screws. With Suat Serdar, there should be a little more dynamic in the midfield. In addition, Dodi Lukebakio returns to the starting XI after serving a yellow card suspension. Jean-Paul Boëtius and 20-year-old Derry Scherhant rotate to the bench for this.
The second leg ended clearly with 0:4, even if the Cologne team didn't have a chance there either. Another factor could speak for goals today: At FC, both central defenders Hübers and Kilian are out. They will be replaced by Soldo and Chabot, who was allowed to play on Saturday. Youngster Bakatukanda is therefore on the bench today.
A gripping duel awaits us. Because Steffen Baumgart never tires of emphasizing that he doesn't want to change his idea of football too much even against the top team. Last season, for example, the duel in Munich was just under 3:2 in favor of the favorites.
The people from Sinsheim had imagined the restart after the World Cup break to be completely different – although a lot actually looked good in the away game at 1. FC Union Berlin. Up to the 73rd minute, they were in front with the Irons, before a blatant set-piece weakness put an end to them. Two corner kicks led to a deficit in the final phase, in added time they conceded the third goal to make the final score (1:3). They slipped down to 13th place in the classification – and are only three points behind 16th place.
VfL Wolfsburg, on the other hand, was in strong form literally from the first minute, as Patrick Wimmer put the Wolves ahead within the first 60 seconds. What followed was a consistently mellow performance by Lower Saxony against a strangely lethargic Freiburg sports club. Wolfsburg used the many gaps and celebrated an outstanding 6-0. However, it is now necessary to find a new focus in order to face a team threatened with relegation.
FC, on the other hand, is the team with the best start after the league restarted. On Saturday they scored the highest win of the high-scoring 16th Bundesliga matchday in a 7-1 win against Bremen.
At the end of the first half of the season, FC Bayern is, as usual, at the top of the table. Due to Leipzig's upcoming victory in the early game, the lead before kick-off melts to three points over RaBa Leipzig.
At the start of the new year, Hertha BSC suffered a severe setback. In a direct duel with VfL Bochum, the capital city clearly lost 3:1 and fell back to relegation place 17. Hertha came into play well, scored the supposed lead through Tousart before the VAR intervened. As a result, the Berliner Sportclub lost their concept, Bochum became stronger and took the game out of their hands. So early in the new year, Hertha is under pressure again!
Hello and welcome to the live ticker of the Bundesliga game between FC Bayern Munich and 1. FC Köln. The end of the first half of the season on matchday 17 will be kicked off at 8:30 p.m. in the state capital of Bavaria.
Hello and welcome to the 17th matchday of the Bundesliga! At the end of the first half of the season there is a Baden-Württemberg duel between TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and VfB Stuttgart. Kick-off in the PreZero Arena is at 8:30 p.m.

Lunch on the mountain with writers
At long last! The very first, much-anticipated Mountain Writers Festival event is out in the world. I'm on the organising committee and it's been quite the wild Covid-cancellation ride – so we're all very excited.

MOUNTAIN WRITERS' FESTIVAL KICKS OFF WITH A CRACKING LITERARY LUNCH!
An exciting new Macedon Ranges arts festival has just been announced. The Mountain Writers' Festival will hold its first event, a lunch featuring a group of outstanding Victorian writers, in Macedon on Saturday 26 March 2022.
"We're thrilled to finally be able to stage our first event!" said Festival Director, local author Sonia Orchard. "It's been a tough couple of years for everyone in the arts and especially those of us trying to hold events, so it's fantastic to be able to announce this lunch. We couldn't be more pleased with the timing – Victoria is emerging from the worst of the pandemic, and we know that people just can't wait to get out and experience great arts events!"

Jun 07, 2018 · If you were to install a boiler today, you should get a 7-year warranty – that includes parts and labour.

Now the average bill in the home is £1352 per year – with 70% going towards heating and the remainder towards electricity.
Flame Arresters which are devices which allows gas to pass
First, the high-pressure deflagration and stable detonation states have very stable kinetics of burning, and the flame is moving very fast. Therefore the arrester must be able to absorb the flame's heat much faster than is required by standard low-to-medium-pressure deflagration conditions.

The Catfish lives to enjoy meals that meet his exacting standards.
I couldn't very well post Parapluie without posting her dear old dad now could I? He's got a pretty simple MO, invade a restaurant along with whatever muscle he's been able to hire, take hostages and demand to be served. If the meal is to his liking he pays for his meal with a generous tip and leaves without a fuss and if it doesn't he levels the building with everyone inside. Bizarrely certain circles have come to see him as the ultimate food critic and many of the restaurant that survive an encounter with him wear it as a prestigious badge of honour, this along with his vast wealth still allows him to move in certain circles of high society who simply dismiss his actions as something of an eccentric hobby.

Ampelos wants to see and experience as much of the modern world as she can.
Lots of people have taken an interest in the young Dryad, whether its her parents wanting her to come home, super schools looking to recruit her or eco-terrorists seeking to use her for their own ends.
Whilst she doesn't need to eat as long as she has an adiquate supply of sunlight, Ampelos needs about 3 times as much water as a normal person.
With brilliant green skin and flowers sprouting from her vine like hair, there's no way Ampelos could pass for normal.
One day Sawfist return to his home and get revenge not only on the master who defeated him but on the entire monastery.
Raised in a mystic monastery high in the mountains, Gang Xu always concerned his teachers, whilst he excelled in training he was always aggressive and quick to anger. Then came the day when he attempted to kill one of his rivals in what was supposed to be a friendly sparring match. Soundly defeated by his teacher he was banished from the monastery with its location stricken from his mind, never to return again. Unfortunately for the rest of the world that intense battle with his teacher was what activated his metagene and gave him the power of vibration control. Taking the name Sawfist he became part of the criminal underworld, taking part in unlicensed fighting and selling his services as an assassin to the highest bidder, all hone his skills. One day he would find the location of the monastery that had cast him out and then revenge would be his!

Kazehime would do anything to help out her big brother and believes every word he says.
Kazehime Yamaguchi is an normal everyday highschool student, friendly, popular and on the starting line up for her school's volleyball team, even if she doesn't always gets what's going on around her she always gives 110%! Unfortunately that includes helping her big brother with his 'part-time job', what she doesn't realise is that her brother is the leader of the Red Demons street gang and that he's taking advantage of her powerful Quirk to help his gang pull off ever more ambitious robberies.
Ryou cares deeply for his little sister and considers it his job to take care of her with their parents absent.
Being the head of a gang has painted a target on his head, people are gunning for Ryou from both sides of the law, those who wanted to see him and his gang behind bars and those who want to take his place.
Ambitious but not too taken with things like rules or authority figures Ryou Yamaguchi quickly found his place in life as a delinquent where his Quirk, the ability to control his own blood to push his body beyond its limits for short periods (giving him bright red skin in the process), lead him to quickly rise up the ranks to become leader of his own gang, taking the name the Red Demons after his distinctive appearance.
Now this one got a little experimental, but the way that it's supposed to work is he gets 5 rounds hopped up on his Quirk before he has to rest but if he wants to keep going he has to make a DC24 Fortitude Save vs Damage as it starts to take its toll on him.

Today in history… sporting lives lived in parallel
12:00am Jul 04, 2018 | Admin - Acorn Stairlifts UK & Lifestyle
Siblings who excel at sport are unusual, but not unknown; think of footballers Bobby and Jack Charlton, triathletes Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, tennis players Andy and Jamie Murray or rugby players Tony and Rory Underwood.
But born 100 years ago today were two outstanding cricketers who were not only brothers, but identical twins. Alec and Eric Bedser were born in Reading, Berkshire, on July 4th, 1918. Their father, a bricklayer by trade, was stationed there while serving with the RAF during the First World War.
Many twins, even identical ones, differ in their personalities and the paths their lives take, but not the Bedser boys. They would be inseparable throughout their lives, often dressing identically, serving in the military together, sharing a house and excelling at cricket.
When the family moved to Woking, in Surrey, the boys helped their father build a house which they would share for the rest of their lives. They played their first organised cricket at the age of seven, later playing for their school and the local Woking Cricket Club. They also played football at school, both as full backs, and grew up tall and strong, standing 6ft 3ins tall and weighing just over 15 stone.
On leaving school the brothers became clerks at the same firm of solicitors in London. They were spotted practising in the nets at Woking Cricket Club by Alan Peach, the coach for Surrey County Cricket Club, who soon recruited them to the staff at the county side's home ground, The Oval. They were both medium-fast bowlers, but realising that could be difficult playing for the same team, the story goes that on a toss of a coin, Eric (who lost) switched to off-spin bowling, at which he soon became very adept.
The Bedser boys made their first-class debuts for Surrey in the same match in June 1939, but another deadlier contest was looming in Europe which would temporarily halt their cricketing careers. At the outbreak of war, they joined the RAF police, serving in France and being evacuated from Dunkirk. They served together throughout the war, including in North Africa and Italy.
When Eric was promoted to Warrant Officer, Alec refused a similar promotion because it would mean them being split into different units. Instead he remained a Flight Sergeant so they could continue to serve together. They were demobilised in 1946 and returned to cricket at Surrey.
While both had long and distinguished cricketing careers, it was Alec who enjoyed the greater success, playing for England in 51 test matches between 1946 and 1955 and taking 236 wickets. He spearheaded England's bowling in the post-war years, alongside his 21-year county career with Surrey. Although Eric played only once for his country, he enjoyed a 23-year first-class career with Surrey and was a member of the team which won seven successive County Championships from 1952 to 1958.
There is a story that during a 1946 match between Surrey and an England representative side, the Bedser twins shared an over, with Alec bowling the first three balls before surreptitiously switching to Eric, who finished the over. Batsman Frank Woolley couldn't tell the twins apart and if either umpire noticed, they chose to play along with the ruse. On another occasion, when Alec was run out in a match, Eric followed him at the crease, but the umpire refused to allow him to 'bat again' until Alec was recalled from the pavilion for purposes of comparison.
Another story goes that during an Australian tour, Eric had his hair cut by a barber in Sydney. Ten minutes later, in walked an identically-dressed Alec and sat in the astonished barber's chair, telling him not to use any oil this time as it made his hair grow back too quickly!
After retiring from professional cricket, both brothers maintained strong links with the game. Alec became a selector for England, managed two England tours and was made president of Surrey in 1987. Eric served on various committees at Surrey and became its president in 1990. The only thing which separated them was in national honours for their services to the game, with Alec's more illustrious England career earning him an OBE in 1964, a CBE in 1982 and a knighthood in 1996. He was the first, and remains the only, England bowler knighted for his services to cricket.
Away from the game, the twins went into business together, co-founding a successful stationery firm which was taken over by Ryman in 1977. Neither brother ever married, but continued to share the family home in Woking and even had a joint bank account. Eric died in his home town in May 2006, at the age of 87, while Alec also died in hospital in Woking after a short illness in April 2010, aged 91.


A couple of years ago I was introduced to a computer program named Bibdesk which creates a reference library and helps you organize the reference materials inside your library. References can be in various forms such as papers, books, theses and conference proceedings. Bibdesk has now become an invaluable tool in my research efforts. Bibdesk reduces a lot of the tedious work needed to write bibliographies, can quickly sort through a sea of references to find the one you need and helps keep track of all the reference materials you have. Some useful features of Bibdesk include grouping references into categories, writing summaries about each paper, and finding references by keywords or authors. Another key feature is that references in pdf form can be linked to your reference library regardless of where the reference is located on your computer. I recommend you start using Bibdesk while the number of your references is still small. Once your references pile up, it will be arduous to transfer them onto Bibdesk. Bibdesk is still relatively new and there are often new updates available that make it better and better. For more information about Bibdesk please click here.

While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head.
But when I got to my destination, I called the Police and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check….
"There are several things to be aware of … Gangs and thieves mostly from Eastern Europe are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women)to stop their vehicle and get out of the car.
"There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police where gangs are placing a car seat by the road…with a fake baby in it…waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.
"Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area and the person — woman — will be dragged into the woods, beaten and raped, and usually left for dead. If it's a man, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.
DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! DIAL 9-9-9 AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.
"IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOUR WINDSCREEN, DO NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS.
Get started NOW — SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES TO BE CAREFUL AND AWARE OF EVERYTHING AROUND THEM SO AS NOT TO BECOME A VICTIM.
