The Twisted Circus it is newest microgaming game which was released somewhere in 2013 year, and i think it is another one failed game from microgaming, since i am really think that almost no one playing this game these days, it is simply not interesting, but probably i am wrong, prove me that it is great game and i will apologize, but till that read my review.
This game has 243 paylines, and therefore minimum bet here is typical to many others 243 liners - 0.3. this is good min bet and i think everyone can allow himself to play with such bet.Great thing that wilds appear on all reels here, but with that great thing about wilds is end. 5 of a kind wilds in 243 lines game here pay less than 30 x total bet, and i really think it is total joke, not payout. Only 5 scatters pay 100 x total bet, and this way you can earn biggest payout here.
Free spins is not interesting, since you get 13 free spins with x 3 multiplier, looks good, yes, but with not such bad payouts for all symbols, if only 5 scatters will land during free spins, than you get biggest possible win in one spin here, 300 x total bet. Funny for 243 lines game, no? I tried this game only once, at 32red, when it was just released. I like 243 liners and was expecting really lot of fun and nice experience, but i lost my 30$ deposit with 0.30 bets within 15 minutes, and swear to myself that i will not touch this game again. Yes, i did not like such game, which simply eat your money and did not give chances to win more than 1000 x total bet.
Low variance 243 lines game already sounds like a joke. Game looks great, but win big here is impossible, and i will not open this game again, it is boring and useless for me.
I know it's worth hitting the bonus round but do they have to make teaser rounds by making me see 2 scattered Ringmasters on the 3rd and 4th reel with no availing final scatter on the last reel? I guess that's the nature of slots! Although in the base game I did initially discover to get no wins for a long time before having to set the stage for large winnings...it took long but it became worth it later!
The twisted circus is game made by Microgaming, and it is really decent slot with high payouts. Pretty good payouts for game like this.
I like theme. A lot. I was in circus recently, so after I came back I start playing this slot even more frequent. Circus sent me in childhood, lot of feelings, good emotions.
I like payouts. Payouts here is awesome and probably biggest I ever saw in 243 lines game. Best paying symbol 5 of a kind pays about 80 or 70 bets. And the thing is that wild if substitute multiply winnings by 3. It is already more than 200 bets during normal play in games with all pay ways and without stacked wild. Remind me any other slot with such payouts if you know please.
I like bonus game. It is does not contain outstanding huge payouts, but could pay in best cases something like 100 bets. It is triggered when 3 scatters appear anywhere on reels. Scatters with bonus logo I mean, because there is also different scatters in this game. Bonus game is simple you need to match symbols. Wild can match any other symbol, pretty obvious.
I like freespins feature. For 3 or more scatters anywhere on reels game award with 13 freespins and during freespins all wins are tripled. Just one best 5 of a kind with wild and you in the money. Just one. Had once x 200 total bet feature, few low paying 5 of a kinds produce this wins. But it could be better and i still want to play this game. Normal play rare pay good and better to wait feature. I with easy heart rate this game with 10 stars.
And for sure for such great payout potential you paying with some chance to get your money stolen very fast. But it is ok, it is gamble and it is impossible hit withdraw button each time.
Nothing to thumbs down, I can not imagine anything bad I could say about this game.
The Twisted Circus is 243 paylines video slot which came from Microgaming software. I played it a few times, after I had some good winnings on other games from this software and my balance was on higher amount.
First when I opened the game, I heard great sounds. I liked the circus music while I was playing. At the beginning I started to play with minimum stakes 0,30€. This game has 2 features; bonus and free spins. During free spins the winnings are tripled. I received circus match bonus at least twice. I expected more from this bonus, I won around 10€ both times.
I triggered free spins feature only once and they paid better than the bonus. After that I played The Twisted Circus for some time but I couldn't get more free spins feature, only bonus which I don't liked it. I think the game could offer more. Maybe stacked wilds on all reels during main game, like many other games with 243 paylines offer or better bonus feature. Otherwise the graphics is good; the quick spin button is there so you can play it in fast mode.
The twisted circus icon is wild and when it appears during game you should expect bigger wins. I received it couple of times. What is interesting in that video slot is that 5 scatters pay 30 000x bet. This is so huge, I cannot imagine hitting it. And even 4 of them pay very high, 3000x bet.
Well even if I don't like bonus rounds here at this game, when I played it I had some profit on it. Later I decided to try some other game and I closed this one. I don't know if I will play this game in the future, because I have better games to choice from this software.
Bonus game is absolutely not interesting and after playing it couple of times I am tired of slot at all.
The Twisted Circus it is Microgaming slot game, and I played it couple of times. It is quite unusual game for Microgaming; because usually they do their 243 lines game quite same, without only few difference, but this game is different.
Game looks amazing, I do like sounds, animations, and also I do like idea with circus, paying symbols are great one, and it is interesting to play game and see animation for symbols. Like I said, there is 243 paylines.
There is wilds appearing on all reels, but they do not stacked, never expand. This is first not very often thing for Microgaming 243 lines game. Also quite unusual and something that I like - multiplier for wilds here is very nice - x 3, this gives really good boost to winnings at 243 lines game, and make wilds absolutely not useless(something what no one like I believe - when wilds are useless).
There is possible to trigger two different features. First one it is freespins feature - when 3 or more scatters appear you will be awarded with 13 freegames with x 3 multiplier. So wins with wilds will have x 9 wins, not so bad I guess. Freespins feature is not very often, I think probably once in 100-15 spins I get it at average.
Second feature is bonus game; it is not interesting for me. You pick symbols, and you should match 3 same and get award. There can appear wild and substitute for couple of symbols, but payouts are quite low for most symbols, so it is hard to wait decent win there.
I had 2-3 freespins feature which paid me more than 100 x total bet (in total I have probably 10 features). I never win even x 50 total bet during bonus game. This is interesting slot, but it quickly annoys me, so I am usually play it just before freespins feature, and then leave it.

What Adam Jones' Arrest Means For The Bengals
By Ethan Bensman

Sam Greene/Cincinnati Enquirer via USA TODAY NETWORK /
In 2010, the Bengals took a chance and signed troublesome cornerback Adam Jones to their roster. Now, with his recent arrest, how badly has he hurt his team?
When the Bengals signed Adam Jones in 2010, they knew they were taking a risk. At 29 years old and with numerous previous criminal charges to his name, he wasn't a player that teams were fighting over. The Bengals signed Jones to a three-year deal worth just over five million dollars.
The gamble seemingly paid off for the Bengals, who ended up locking up their best-performing defensive back at a contract that was beyond cheap. Best of all, Jones was able to keep himself out of legal trouble, something he had struggled to do from the day he was drafted.
A free agent once again last year, the Bengals rewarded Jones, who, despite his age, cashed in on a 3-year, $22 million contract with six million in guarantees. He was 32 years old, but his play didn't appear to be dropping off. Additionally, he was the only veteran presence in an extremely young Bengals cornerback room.
Jones' 2016 season (the first on his new contract) went well. While part of a disappointing Cincinnati defensive unit, Jones' play was not an issue. He stayed healthy all sixteen games, snagged one interception, and forced three fumbles. He was a steady and solid contributor for the Bengals each week.
However, with his recent arrest on Tuesday, the 33-year-old might have brought about an abrupt end to his time in Cincinnati, and even the NFL. With the expiration of fellow corner Dre Kirkpatrick's contract, Jones may have hurt his team in more ways than expected. Let's take a look at each aspect of the situation, and how it could affect the Bengals going forward.


Discussion in 'Amps and Cabs [BG]' started by terraplane, Nov 21, 2002.
Hi, I've got a problem. I play with a Italian bass head, 280W @ 8 ohm and 430 @ 4 ohm. I've got a ampeg 1x15" speaker 200W rms. I want to use a speaker that can drive 800W RMS with the 200W ampeg. The problem is: the amplifier power is divided in two equal part? The 800W speaker can recive the same power of the 200W speaker, or the more powerful cabinet can get more power then the other? I've 2 jack connection fot the speaker, ther is a difference if I use oly one of this and connect che secondspeaker to the first ? In this way power will be better divided?
If the 800 W speaker has the same impedance as the 200 W speaker (that is, 8 ohms and 8 ohms, right?) then it will get the same power from the amplifier. The power rating of the speaker has nothing to do with that.
If the second speaker is 4 ohms, however, it will get more of the amplifier's power. But in that case the total load on the amp would be only 2.67 ohms, and that would probably be a bad idea, because it sounds as if your amp is only rated down to 4 ohms.
Short answer: if your current Ampeg speaker is 8 ohms, make sure your second speaker is 8 ohms also, and then the power will be split equally.
The other issue that comes up is that one of your speakers may be more *efficient* than the other. This means that even if both are getting the same power, one may sound louder, because it may be converting the power to acoustic output (volume) more efficiently. This isn't necessarily a problem; I just thought I'd point it out.
There's no difference between those two ways of connecting a speaker. Either one yields a parallel connection, which would mean that 8 ohms + 8 ohms = 4 ohms total.
I don't know of any way to ensure that your 1st speaker gets more power. I didn't understand what you meant about losing power with the 2nd speaker.
OK, I was confused about which one was the 1st speaker and which one was the 2nd. No problem.
The bottom line is that as far as I can tell, there's no economical way of making more power go to one of the speakers. The only way I can think of--aside from inserting some kind of power attenuator, which would take away power--would be to hook up a second power amp and have one amp drive each cabinet. Then you could easily adjust the relative volumes until you get the blend you want. Is that something that might be an option for you? If not, I don't think there's a good way to do what you want to do with your mono amp.

Pick-Six: Tom Brady's top career moments
This week's Pick-Six takes a look at Brady's greatest moments over his illustrious career under center for the Patriots, including six Super Bowl wins and numerous record-breaking performances.
6. The "Tuck Rule" Game
This one obviously has to be on the list, and could arguably be even higher given its importance in Patriots, and NFL, history. In Brady's first season as starter, he and his Patriots found themselves down 13-3 to the Oakland Raiders in the fourth quarter of the AFC Divisional round of the playoffs. Brady, ready to begin one of his many playoff comebacks, ran in a touchdown in the snow to bring New England within three. The Patriots got the ball back, and Brady began driving down the field, looking to tie or win the game. However, with 1:43 left in the game, cornerback Charles Woodson came in on Brady, causing Brady to drop the ball, and the Raiders recovered the ball. Oakland prepared to run the clock out, but the referees ruled with the infamous "Tuck Rule" that Brady didn't fumble, but rather threw an incompletion. The drive continued, and Brady led the team for a game-tying field goal in regulation, and game-winner in overtime to keep the dream alive.
5. The return to form against Cincinnatiin 2014
Just one week after everyone in the sports media world proclaimed that his career was dead and over, Brady came back stronger than ever against the Bengals in Week 5 of the 2014 season. "Brady" chants filled Gillette Stadium as the quarterback led drive after drive with ease over Cincinnati's defense, and led the team to a 43-17 rout of the Bengals. The win propelled the team back into title contention, and proved that Brady's success was almost never-ending.
4. The record-breaking game against the New York Giants in 2007
In Brady's best regular season statistically, this one game against the New York Giants is played over and over for the records broken. Both Brady and wide receiver Randy Moss were on the hunt for history, with Brady looking for the single-season record for touchdown passes, and Moss looking for that same record for receptions. On one pass, the New England Patriots' stars combined for a 65-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter of the 38-35 win. The pass gave Brady 50 touchdowns and Moss 23 to officially break each of the records. While Peyton Manning broke Brady's record a few seasons later, the MVP 2007 season still stands out as Brady's best year.
3. The Super Bowl LI comeback against the Falcons
This one has to be on the list, although it wasn't as much of a dominant performance from Brady that got the team to the finish line in this comeback as it was an improbable collection of luck.
Nonetheless, this game is and always will be a part of Brady's legacy, and helped to propel him further into legend status with his fifth Super Bowl win of his career. If you really wanted to, you could fill this list with just Super Bowl wins, which you can't say about any other quarterback in NFL history.
2. The Super Bowl MVP performance in Super Bowl XLIX
Super Bowl XLIX is arguably the most entertaining Super Bowl of all-time, especially after all the drama the Patriots provided going into the game, and during the fourth quarter. After all the Deflategate theater had come to a halt for a brief few hours, the Patriots and Seahawks played some of the best football I've ever seen, all coming down to a 24-14 lead for Seattle in the fourth quarter. Brady worked his magic, leading two touchdown drives, including one touchdown with a little over two minutes left in regulation. The Seahawks threatened, but Malcolm Butler's goal-line heroics saved the day for New England for a 28-24 win. Brady threw a Super Bowl-record 37 completions on 50 attempts for 328 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions, and was awarded the Super Bowl MVP for his performance, which will go down as one of the best games and comebacks of his career.
1. The first Super Bowl comeback vs. Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI
Of course, for the number one moment, you have to feature the first Super Bowl win. Brady's drive late in the fourth quarter against "The Greatest Show On Turf" will go down as one of the all-time moments in NFL history. Facing off against Kurt Warner and the Rams, New England held a 17-3 lead in the third quarter, but faltered late in the game. Warner tied the game with a 26-yard touchdown pass with 1:30 remaining in the fourth quarter, and many expected Brady and the Patriots to run the clock out and go to overtime. However, Brady and Bill Belichick decided to go all out for the win, and, with no timeouts, drove down the field in 1:30 to set up kicker Adam Vinatieri's game-winning 48-yard field goal. Brady went 16 for 27 with 145 yards and a touchdown, and was named Super Bowl MVP to cap off his greatest career moment.

The New Atlantic Order
Henry Kissinger believes "an international political regulatory system" is imminent.
Nick Ottens December 6, 2009 December 31, 2019
The financial collapse of 2008 and the subsequent global economic downturn have left American prestige badly damaged. For years its free-trade rhetoric dominated debate within fora like the World Trade Organization and urged second-rate powers to privatize and reduce tariffs. Whatever its political course, American economic leadership seemed unchallenged. It was the era of the Washington Consensus.
Today, the American economy lies in shambles and eight years of George W. Bush have obliterated a great amount of the international leverage and respect that the country could previously count on. American management of globalization is contested as is American predominance on the world stage. Rising powers as Brazil, China and India and old world players as Europe and Russia all demand a place in the Obama Administration's "multilateral" game.
Serious attempts are made in that direction. The G20 is a fine example of what Henry Kissinger called for last January in "The chance for a new world order": "creating an international political regulatory system with the same reach as that of the economic world." A promise that the United Nations has never been able to fulfill, the G20 now revives by shaping the political and financial framework of the future.
There is still bad blood between the Atlantic power blocks however. In spite of their feverish admiration of President Barack Obama, European leaders haven't forgotten the past decades of American unilateralism. Indeed, as Kissinger notes:
it […] has become an alibi for a key European difference with America: that the United States still conducts itself as a national state capable of asking its people for sacrifices for the sake of the future, while Europe, suspended between abandoning its national framework and a yet-to-be-reached political substitute, finds it much harder to defer present benefits.
With Europe moving slowly toward further political integration, recently electing a president and something of a common foreign secretary, what will it work toward abroad? asks Robert D. Kaplan in "Let's Go, Europe."
Unlike the United States, most European countries are pacifist with a great public reluctance to go to war hampering any sort of foreign intervention. Besides France, Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom, all European NATO members spend less that the required 2 percent of their GDPs on defense while countries as Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Spain elect to invest very much in but one of their armed forces: their navies. What's to blame? Not just the continent's "ethical awakening following centuries of war," according to Kaplan, but "a new strategic context in which Europeans simply face no credible security threat."
That is not to say that the Europeans cannot be convinced into waging war at all. In fact, the United States rather needs to do so, for as it focuses on the Pacific, drawing Australia, India, Indonesia, Japan and South Korea into its camp to counterbalance China's global ascendancy, it will have to rely increasingly on European forces to cover the Atlantic and Africa.
The way the world is shaping up, America will have no choice but to yank Europe kicking and screaming into conflict zones […]
In this regard, the stable naval power of many European partners is an advantage. "Sea power is inherently less threatening than land power," notes Kaplan.
Moreover, future military operations will be all the more about rescue and disaster relief as populations continue to grow and climate change continues to upset fragile regions across the globe. As much as the Europeans might hate war, coming to the world's rescue is something that politicians will have less trouble selling to their electorates at home.

Quite, Kaplan is partly right; Europe has faced no real internal war for the past 60 years or for that matter, external threats. The Cold War didnt run hot. This bit about "ethical awakening following centuries of war," is a bit silly, there's no reason to suggest that this, more than structural changes, the tethering of coal and steele industries, US investment and presence, and an external threat, was the cause for peace in Europe.
This part about navies is also questionable. European powers' navies are all un-unified middle-band and lower band navies which even together do not have the capabilities of a single US fleet.
"Moreover, future military operations will be all the more about rescue and disaster relief as populations continue to grow and climate change continues to upset fragile regions across the globe."
only if the world breaks a habit of a life-time and peace breaks out for many, many decades. Those aren't military operations those are relief operations using some military equipment and personal. This Kaplan bloke comes across as just a patronising C***. His only redemption lies in his acceptance of Colin S. Gray. The fact that he talks about Greece and Turkey fighting each other, and that different states do maintain different levels of military capability within Europe (but variations on the same, it must be stressed, there's yet to be seen any credible movement to the idea that each state takes on a different role to the others in a European divisional system) bellies the point that Europe cannot be treated as one homogenous unit when it comes to current and near future defence matters.
Britain has been in more wars since 1945 than any other state on earth, and at every level within her armed forces there is a desire to fight if there's match on. Certainly within operational and strategic commanders within the British Army, there's a willingness to carry out any and all operations which the Americans do. Constraints for British troops certainly, are more material than political. Mr Brown's small commitment of 500 troops IS partly political balancing of being seen to do something whilst not committing more troops than would make the public squeal, but in actuality much more could be committed without detriment. Fact is the British armed forces, as with those of most other states, in Europe, are tiny and often mismanaged. Political will does count for much continental reluctance to enter the fray, less, I suspect than this fellow claims, but capabilities also play their part. There's only two ways to examine how 'Europe' fights and that's either as individual states with varying capabilities and willingness/reluctance to do their duty, or as a fictitious whole with an armed forces capability which hasn't even been looked at in such a manner for 4 years now, even within the halls of the EU. The draft for 'Eurocorps' lost respect years ago and didn't get it back. What's the use of having a foreign affairs minister if he's got nothing to conduct 'unified foreign policy' with?
Nick Ottens says:
I suppose the thinking in Brussels is that when you appoint a EU foreign minister, you'll eventually get to draft EU foreign policy.
The pacifism and reluctance to go to war is something that is not very common among armed forces personnel of course. That goes for all countries. It's the political leadership that much more exhibits these characteristics than their counterparts across the pond. And the populace too. If you compare popular support for, say, the recent wars in former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq, approval numbers in the US are much higher than in Europe, even today.
Kaplan may be a bit ambitious when he writes about Europe taking on such a unified, military role abroad, but would it be unrealistic to presume this happening in the next ten to twenty years?
Note than when I mentioned "future military operations", I meant, future military operations that the West will be involved in. As Kaplan sees it (and I think he may be right), we'll continue to be involved in peace-keeping and we'll be more involved in disaster relief, and less in actual combat.

Orsch approaches work because they are built around kids' needs.
Students come here for engagement, inspiration, motivation, and community.
Parents come here because they know Orschy approaches will ignite their kids and engage them like never before.
Educators come here for unique ideas and strategies that lead to enhanced student engagement and happier kids.
What Makes Orsch Unique?
In 2009 we built a program that allowed kids to teach us what they need, how they best learn, what ignites and motivates them, and how to best help them love school.
Now, we are fully online, but we continue to build our offerings based on constant, real-time feedback from students, parents, and educators.
We love to find solutions for families and educators that will help their students thrive, love learning, and enjoy authentic community.
Our platform is designed to bring kids together in a fun and healthy community, and all of our offerings are created to instill independence, autonomy, and excitement for learning.
Orsch is not just another online platform that will feel like more seat time/computer time. Our offerings are made for a virtual community, but are designed to feel like less computer time and more authentic interaction. Most materials are designed to move kids away from a computer, and our virtual classes and events do not feel computer based…they feel like we're all in a room together interacting naturally.
You're gonna love it here!
Orsch students are rarely inside the box…unless it's REALLY FUN!

Official dealings between the Administration and Members of Parliament and State Legislatures – DOPT
Official dealings between the Administration and Members of Parliament and State Legislatures – Observance of proper procedure: DOPT Order dated 15.03.2021
F. No. 11013/4/2018-Estt.A-III
Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions
Department of Personnel & Training
Establishment Division
North Block, New Delhi
Dated: 15th March, 2021
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Official dealings between the Administration and Members of Parliament and State Legislatures — Observance of proper procedure.
The Members of Parliament and State Legislatures, as the accredited representatives of the people, occupy a very important place in our democratic set-up. In connection with their duties, they often find it necessary to seek information from the Ministries/ Departments of the Government of India or the State Governments, or make suggestions for their consideration or ask for interviews with the officers.
2. The guidelines concerning official dealings between Administration and Members of Parliament and State Legislatures have been issued by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and being reiterated from time to time. The provisions of the Central Secretariat Manual of Office Procedure regarding prompt disposal of communications from MPs have also been reiterated from time to time. However, keeping in view the instances of occasional non-observance of the above guidelines, a need was also felt by the Committee of Privileges of the Lok Sabha for consolidating and reiterating the existing instructions. Accordingly, revised comprehensive guidelines were issued by this Department vide Office Memorandum No. 11013/4/2011-Estt.(A) dated 01.12.2011 (copy enclosed). A copy each of former Secretary (P)'s D.O. letter No. 11013/4/2011-Estt.(A) dated 09.10.2012, O.M. No. 11013/2/2012-Esit.A dated 19.11.2014, O.M. of even No. dated 07.02.2018, 11.10.2018 and 10.02.2020 reiterating the said instructions are also enclosed for ready reference.
3. In fact, recognizing the crucial role of Civil Services in serving the citizens, one of the aims of the recently launched National Programme for Civil Service Capacity Building (NPCSCB) is to create a workforce of public officials that is competent, efficient and trained to face the challenges of ever changing citizen-Government-society interface and all the officials should keep in view the broad underlying principles of this Programme to ensure and provide a citizen-centric governance within their allocated areas of responsibilities.
4. In view of the above, all the Ministries' Departments are once again requested to ensure that instructions issued through aforementioned communications are followed by all officials concerned, both in letter and spirit. Violation of these guidelines will be viewed seriously.
5. Chief Secretaries of all States/ UTs are also requested to circulate these instructions to all State Government officials at the State/ Division and District levels and sensitize them with regard to their duties and obligations in so far as the movement of Members of Parliament in general and more particularly during Parliament sessions. It is also requested to periodically review implementation of these instructions.
6. Hindi version will follow.

Judge: NYPD Must Turn Over #BLM Surveillance
A New York state judge has ruled that the New York Police Department must turn over surveillance material related to Black Lives Matter protests at the city's Grand Central Terminal in 2014 and 2015. The ruling is a win for civil liberty advocates who believed the NYPD had violated rules linked to Freedom of Information laws (FOIL).
James Logue, who had attended a #BLM protest in 2014 noticed officers recording the activities of the demonstrators, according to a lawsuit he filed, but believed the action violated the First Amendment rights of those participating. In response he filed FOIL requests for the media and records taken by the NYPD, New York State Police, the Metropolitan Transit Authority Police and the Metro-North Railroad.
The MTA and Metro-North accommodated Logue's request, with "partial redactions," the court document says. But the New York State Police denied the request flatly and the NYPD rejected his request saying much of what he wanted was given to him by the first two agencies, and also that turning over the material could potentially compromise criminal investigations.
But New York Supreme Court Judge Manuel Mendez said that the NYPD had not met the burden of proving they deserve an exemption and ruled that they must comply with the request. Logue did not appeal the New York State Police's denial of his request.
"They fail to show that redacting the relevant information, as was done with MTA and Metro-North records, would not provide sufficient protection for NYPD undercover officers, their techniques and records," the ruling states.
"The NYPD often attempts to avoid accountability by insisting on the need for blanket secrecy,"New York Civil Liberties Union senior staff attorney Mariko Hirose said in an e-mail to Gothamist.com. "This decision ensures that the NYPD cannot shroud its operations in secrecy by relying on vague references to law enforcement interests."

Vendor On the Pitch
DateNovember 28, 2019
PITCH: Hout Bay Harbour
(34.0562° S, 18.3401° E)
Big Issue vendor Joseph Klint is proof that dedication certainly doesn't get old. The 67-year-old grandfather has been selling the magazine for 22 years and he's still as passionate as he was on his first day at his pitch.
Words and Image by: Lungisa Mnqwazi
This year marks The Big Issue's 23rd year of changing lives through creating micro-entrepreneurship opportunities for unemployed individuals. What makes this milestone so significant is that the organisation's achievements have, among others, been made possible as a result of thousands of magazines passing through the hands of dedicated vendors who sell it on to our beloved readers. Big Issue vendor Joseph Klint, 67, is the organisation's longest-serving vendor. Like a soldier who is loyal to his country, he has remained faithful and consistent, selling the magazine for 22 years. Asked why he continues to sell it in his old age, Joseph replies: "Selling it is what I do best. The relationship I have built with my customers has kept me going, and I don't want to be deprived of that by staying home to watch TV. Besides, my pensioner's grant can't sustain my lifestyle." Born and raised in Bonteheuwel on the Cape Flats, Madala Klint as I affectionately call him, leads an honest life and is a good example to his 23 grandchildren. "Life has been a blessing to me and I'm glad that the almighty God has kept me alive to this day so that I can spend some time with my loved ones."
LOYAL TO THE CAUSE
Madala Klint rises as early as 5am to prepare for his daily commute from Bonteheuwel to his pitch in Hout Bay, which he calls his office. While the two suburbs seem to be worlds apart, he knows the route between them like the palm of his hand. "I have travelled to Hout Bay a thousand times or more. Each morning still feels like the first day that I went to sell my first magazine." The former seaman works seven days a week, and only takes special days off, such as his birthday on 23 October. "I'm my own boss; I don't have anyone to submit a doctor's certificate to, so I have to fend for my own survival."Madala Klint enjoys sharing stories of his days as a seaman. "It was one of the best times of my life, as I got to travel to different provinces. I miss the smell of the open sea, but my age does not allow me to go back," he says. So, when does he plan on retiring? He just chuckles and says he will sell The Big Issue until the man above decides otherwise. Madala Klint plans to continue doing what he loves, and calls on customers to continue supporting vendors. Thankful for the opportunity to earn an extra income, he adds: "I wish the magazine exists for many more years because we rely on it to fight the war against poverty. May The Big Issue organisation continue to be a blessing for underprivileged families."

Kim Okran International Studies Centre was in Brazil to hold two Info sessions in the Northern part of the country. The Info Sessions talked about study & work in Canada, as well as Immigration & study. These topics have been very popular among Brazilians and other nationalities due to recent changes in the immigration law and temporary permanency in the country. The new rules are giving more opportunities for those who want to have a post secondary education in Canada and combine it with a work experience.
Beside this fact, two other reasons are attracting Brazilians' attention. First, students are looking for a work experience to build their savings in Canada and later convert this money into Real when go back to Brazil. Also, they want to have a relevant work experience and improvement of their English skills, as more and more employers in the country are strongly requiring this asset.
Second reason is that Canada is still among other countries, the cheapest one to invest in an international experience, as well as the cheapest cost of leaving.
Kim Okran assists not only students that are currently in Vancouver or Toronto, but also the students in Brazil. All the process of admissions in the ESL School or Post Secondary Institution have the support of our Brazilian counselor, as well as visa process by our Visa Consultant.
Thank you for all the students that attended those Info Session in Brazil!


I love being outdoors and seeing what the universe has to offer for the day but I must admit, throw a dog into the scenery and I am elated. The scenery often becomes secondary at least for those brief moments that I watch them. They are never more joyful than on a new adventure. A few people messaged me recently because they liked some pet photos I posted on Facebook so here are a few tips. Take a lot of pictures. A photographer will take hundreds of images and may end up only liking one. The digital world has made that possible. You have the ability to shoot infinitely without wasting any resource but your time. You will find that the delete button on your computer gets well used but the odds of getting a great shot increase exponentially. And you will find out quickly that it doesn't matter how much you love your subject and your subject loves you, you will always have more success with a helper. It is insanely difficult to manage a camera and multiple moving subjects while keeping all of the factors involved working in your favor. Most of the images of our dogs have been taken with two people present. One wrangles and one shoots. We work together and often switch jobs part way through the shoot rather than having two cameras. And even with two people, you need tremendous patience because most images can't be forced and often, you have to wait for them to happen. You may occasionally have the good fortune to get a pet who poses, who will sit still or do what you want on command, but that is rare. Finn, our yorkie cross is an exception. Finn will pose on logs or by trees and stay in those poses and if there are no distractions, he will wait to be released. This doesn't work with a lot of dogs and especially not with multiple dogs in one shoot. And when I say we pose animals, for the most part they are in some sort of natural position that we have waited for or coaxed them into. It isn't always a simple process and it doesn't always work. You also need to pay attention to what is in the background. You often can't control this because the pets end up where they end up but you can control what your camera sees and whether it is blurry or sharp. If the pets are sharp and the background (that you don't like) is blurry, you have achieved some success. Set your f-stop to control the depth of field and contain the focus to the subject in the foreground. And if you decide to use the background, make sure it is worthy of the image. Make it a landscape that could stand alone otherwise you might as well do a close up of your pet and avoid the scenery. Finally, lighting is essential. You can't get a great photo without great light. We have thousands of images where our dogs look cute but the light is poor because that is what Mother nature had to offer that particular day. They fail as photos because they lack depth without the light to shape them. The word photography translates as painting or drawing with light so without light, there is nothing of note to capture. And unless you have a beautifully backlit subject, is essential that the pet has light in his or her eyes. That light will create the life force in the photo and without it, the image might be cute but it will lack impact. All that said, sometimes all it takes to have a great photo is action. That action can make the image dynamic enough to stand alone and you can ignore everything else if it is present. In fact, quite often ignoring all the rules is enough to make a photo great.
I have posted a few examples of some of the images we have been happy with and a brief description of what getting the image entailed. I hope some of you might find this of interest to you and your animal loving friends, so please share this post if you think someone might find it usedful. I will happily answer any questions. And if you are good with a camera and love animals, rescue organizations can always use help. A good photo of an animal up for adoption will dramatically improve his or her chances of finding a home. Volunteer your skills!
This will likely forever be one of my favorite photographs of Finn. He is our first dog and has never really been a dog. He still doesn't have many dog like behaviors but this is one of the few. We used to hide treats inside snowballs so he would go pummel the snowball to get the treat. We quickly found out that pummeling snowballs is great fun even without the treat in it. To this day, it is one of the few things that he still gets excited about. Terry took this shot lying on her belly in the snow in our back yard in Okotoks. I threw snowballs and she shot. There was a bit of a slope and she was at the bottom of it so it helped make him seem a bit larger than life. I cheated a bit when I processed the image because you could only see light in one eye. I added it to the other. It has all the elements I like in an outdoor pet photo.
Interestingly enough, Terry took my favorite photo of our second dog as well. This is Shasta. It was taken in our yard in Ainsworth. She is coming over a bank along side our driveway that puts her right at eye level with the camera. It doesn't have the greatest light but it captures her spirit and her joy in that moment and is beautifully framed by the tree branch that curves over her head.
Sometimes you get lucky and have action and great light and a shutter speed set high enough to freeze that action in mid air.
It doesn't always work out. I could show you folders full of near misses so don't be afraid to try. I have kept many images of our dogs racing, chasing snowballs, or jumping over little creeks on hikes up the mountain. The lighting is poor and the focus is a bit off but I smile every time I look at them. I wouldn't post them but they capture very joyful moments for us and often that is enough.
Some days you get lucky and your dogs appear to pose. Back when Finn was an only dog, I took a lot of images down by the river in Okotoks on logs or the shoreline. It was easy with one. Things become more complicated with additional dogs but I am fortunate most of the time to have help now. I took most of these images with my wrangler, Terry, either by the lake or up the mountain from our home. Terry took the last image of Shasta which is another favorite of mine as she looks quite regal. That is tough to do with a plaid wearing Kootenay girl. And yes I am referring to the dog.
And finally, these are some images we did to help support animal rescue. We met some amazing dogs and some phenomenal people. We worked on a great calendar with No Borders Animal Rescue and also photographed some lovely dogs in the Okotoks area to promote rescue.
Tammy White - Yes Jennifer if we keep this up we will soon have enough for our own trick dog show. We might have some difficulties with the neurotic twoligans though. Our new guy is quite a chill fellow but somewhat limited for tricks with the missing leg. He makes up for it in spirit though. And yes it is very lovely out here. I remember all of your crew and hope they are all doing well. Your show season will be upon you soon!
Jennifer Tomlin - Wow, beautiful photos Tammy! Those little kids of yours sure look photogenic as well.
How the heck you manage to get 3 to pose ...... Looks like you live in a lovely place.

Truck1 started working in 2003. It was named Truck1st.com and aimed to serve as a gateway for used machinery from Europe to the Russian Federation and CIS countries. We had only English, German and Russian languages and limited our service strictly to the export of trucks from Germany to the Russian-speaking countries.
Very soon it turned out that there are significantly more visitors-buyers coming from other regions – Europe, Baltic region, Scandinavia, Middle East, African countries, etc. That is why in 2005 we have decided to expand the project and turn it into an international marketplace, uniting buyers and professional sellers from all over the world. We started to introduce additional language versions of the website – French, Polish, Spanish, Italian. Introducing Turkish and Arabic languages in 2007 proved to be especially successful and let the project make a huge leap forward.
In 2008 we have separated target markets and purchased several domain names for main language versions of the website: Gruzovik.com for Russian, Alle-lkw.de for German. We've changed the main name of the project to the presently well-known Truck1.eu.
Later in 2010 we have added several new categories of the machinery for convenience of our users: Construction equipment, Material handling (different kinds of forklifts), Agricultural machinery.
At present we have 21 languages available on the website, 500+ professional sellers from 36 countries of the world. Our team consists of 30 specialists working in 3 separate offices across the Europe.

Георг І (, повне ім'я' — Вільгельм Георг; 24 грудня 1845, Копенгаген, Данія — 18 березня 1913, Салоніки, Королівство Греція) — другий король незалежного Королівства Греція з династії Глюксбургів, правив у 1863—1913. Другий син короля Данії Крістіана IX.

Родовід

Правління
Прийняв запропоновану йому грецькими Національними зборами корону у 1863, після того, як представники трьох великих держав (Російської імперії, Французької республіки та Сполученого Королівства) у Лондонському трактаті виявили на це згоду. Він прибув до Пірея 30 жовтня 1863 і наступного дня був проголошений королем.

Однією з умов прийому грецької корони він поставив приєднання до грецького королівства Іонічних островів, на що Велика Британія, під протекторатом якої перебувала ці острови, погодилася.

Хоча король під час повстання кандіотів у 1867 році і не перешкоджав добровольцям йти на допомогу Кандії, однак оголосити війну Османській імперії проти волі великих держав він не наважився. Це дещо підірвало його популярність.

Наприкінці Російсько-турецької війни 1877—1878 грецькі війська вступили у Фессалію, але після укладення Сан-Стефанського перемир'я у лютому 1878 року змушені були відступити. Все ж таки за порадою великих держав Османська імперія пішла на поступки Греції, і в липні 1881 року до королівства були приєднані Фессалія та частина Епіру.

У травні 1896 на острові Крит спалахнуло повстання, у відповідь на дії добровольців Османська імперія оголосила війну Королівству Греція. Війна тривала лише 30 днів і завершилась нищівною поразкою Греції. За Константинопольським мирним договором у грудні 1897 року Королівство Греція виправило на користь Османської імперії кордон у Фессалії, сплатило контрибуцію і відмовилось від Криту.

У лютому 1898 на життя короля було здійснено перший замах, але він не постраждав.

1910 року до влади у Греції прийшов уряд Елефтеріоса Венізелоса. У жовтні 1912 року Греція в союзі з Болгарським царством, Королівством Сербія та Королівством Чорногорія почала війну з Османською імперією — Перша Балканська війна, під час якої король відігравав провідну роль. В її результаті вдалось опанувати Південною Македонією, частиною Епіру та кількома Егейськими островами. Метою її було для Королівства Греція звільнення Македонії та Фракії.

Тим часом між Королівством Греція і Болгарським царством виник конфлікт через звільнені від османського панування території. Під час прогулянки зі своїм ад'ютантом король був вбитий 18 березня 1913 р. у звільнених Салоніках соціалістом греком Александром Схінасом.

Георг I відіграв провідну роль у Першій Балканської війні (1912—1913). Він був убитий в Салоніках 18 березня 1913 р.

Родина
1867 року Георг І одружився з великою княжною Ольгою Костянтинівною і від цього шлюбу мав, окрім кількох доньок, чотирьох синів: спадкоємця принца Костянтина, герцога спартанського, Георгія, Миколу та Андрія.

'For the research we chose these two materials as they have been applied in aircraft construction due to their properties. Thus, BT6 is used to manufacture turbine parts subject to high temperatures, corrosive media and saturation with atmospheric hydrogen during operation,' says Natalia Pushilina.
explains engineer Viktor Kudiyarov, the Department of General Physics.
'Our technology allows the production of parts with uniform thickness throughout and parts with a modified surface layer. The modification of the upper layer will improve the properties of the products. For example, it will make them more wear-resistant, more resistant to hydrogen,' - says Viktor Kudiyarov.

The OSM School Solar Energy Project by the OSM-AD Foundation
The OSM-AD Foundation would like to share its most recent charity work related to the improvement of lives in Filipino communities. It is essential to mention that such actions, at the same time, promote sustainability.
OSM Foundation installed 5 solar energy sets, in 5 isolated and typhoon-affected communities in Southern Leyte Province in the Philippines this June. The solar energy sets enable teachers from far-flung communities to produce educational modules for students despite the severe effect of the destructive Typhoon Odette last December that left communities having no access to electricity even these days.
This is the second batch of OSM School Solar Energy Project under OSM Foundation's Initiatives for Social Development Program. The first batch was launched last March that benefitted 3 schools that were also affected by the same typhoon.

The Authority publishes its review of the General Optical Council's performance for 2017/18
The Professional Standards Authority has published its annual performance review of the General Optical Council (GOC). We review each of the statutory health and social care regulators each year to assess whether they are meeting our Standards of Good Regulation. The GOC's register covers approximately 28,000 optical professionals (optometrists, dispensing opticians and students) practising in the United Kingdom, as well as 2,740 optical businesses.
The GOC has met 22 out of 24 of our Standards of Good Regulation. The GOC did not meet Standard 3 for Registration as we identified some issues around the accuracy of its register entries in relation to final fitness to practise decisions. The GOC has rectified theses errors and has taken steps to make sure they do not reoccur, although this occurred following the end of the performance review period. Standard 6 for Fitness to Practise remains unmet as the GOC is still taking too long to progress cases.
More information about how we reached our decision is set out in our Performance Review - GOC 2017/18 or you can read a summary in our two-page snapshot.

Reception: 020 7389 8030
E: Christine.Braithwaite@professionalstandards.org.uk
The Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care oversees nine statutory bodies that regulate health and social care professionals in the UK.
We assess their performance and report to Parliament. We also conduct audits and investigations and can appeal fitness to practise cases to the courts if we consider that sanctions are insufficient to protect the public and it is in the public interest.
The Standards of Good Regulation are designed to ensure that the regulators are protecting the public but also promoting confidence in health and care professionals and themselves. The Standards cover the regulators' four core functions: setting and promoting guidance and standards for the profession; setting standards for and quality assuring the provision of education and training; maintaining a register of professionals; and taking action where a professional's fitness to practise may be impaired.
We also set standards for organisations holding voluntary registers for health and social care occupations and accredit those that meet them.
We share good practice and knowledge, conduct research and introduce new ideas to our sector. We monitor policy developments in the UK and internationally and provide advice on issues relating to professional standards in health and social care.
We do this to promote the health, safety and wellbeing of users of health and social care services and the public. We are an independent body, accountable to the UK Parliament.
Our values are at the heart of who we are and what we do. We are committed to being impartial, fair, accessible and consistent in the application of our values.
The General Optical Council (GOC) regulates the optical professions in the United Kingdom. Its work includes: setting and maintaining standards of practice and conduct; assuring the quality of optical education and training; maintaining a register of students, qualified professionals and optical businesses; requiring optical professionals to keep their skills up to date through continued education and training; and acting to restrict or remove from practice registrants who are not considered to be fit to practise. As at 30 December 2018, the GOC was responsible for a register of 27,976 optical professionals and students and 2,740 optical businesses. Its annual retention fee for optical professionals was £330 for 2017/18 and £340 for 2018/19.
More information about our work and the approach we take is available at www.professionalstandards.org.uk
