The live dealer casino is where Leo Vegas really shines, hosting the largest selection of live dealer casino software of any online venue.

You are the most significant warrior for peace I've ever met
Monday, November 1st, 2021
In the longest ever meeting between a pope and a US President, Pope Francis and Joe Biden spoke in private on Friday for 75 minutes, with Biden saying to Francis, "You are the most significant warrior for peace I've ever met."
It was clear to officials and media in Rome that Mr Biden came to the Vatican not as a penitent to confess to the pope but as the president of the United States of America to discuss questions of immense global importance with the leader of the world's 1.3 billion Catholics, of whom he is a great admirer.
Following the meeting, the White House said: 'Biden thanked His Holiness for his advocacy for the world's poor and those suffering from hunger, conflict, and persecution.
'He lauded Pope Francis' leadership in fighting the climate crisis, as well as his advocacy to ensure the pandemic ends for everyone through vaccine sharing and an equitable global economic recovery.'
The Vatican issued the following statement when the president had left the city-state, it said:
"During the course of the cordial discussions, the Parties focused on the joint commitment to the protection and care of the planet, the healthcare situation and the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the theme of refugees and assistance to migrants."
It added that "reference was also made to the protection of human rights, including freedom of religion and conscience."
The statement concluded: "the talks enabled an exchange of views on some matters regarding the current international situation, also in the context of the imminent G20 summit in Rome, and on the promotion of peace in the world through political negotiation."
They met in the same library where the pope had met with Biden's two predecessors, Donald Trump, for 30 minutes, and Barack Obama, for 52 minutes.
The length of the meeting was a sign that the two leaders had a more in-depth discussion than observers had expected.
The friendly atmosphere was evident from the videos released by the Vatican after the visit. They showed the two men joking with each other; like old friends.
President Biden was accompanied by his wife, Jill, and a delegation of 10 other people that included Secretary of State Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and the Charges d'affaires of the United States Embassy to the Holy See, Patrick Connell.
On a controversial note, a video has emerged showing President Biden travelling through the streets of Rome in an 85 vehicle motorcade.
The footage prompted some to point out the irony of Biden's entourage containing so many vehicles when one of the main objectives of his trip is to discuss cutting emissions.
Michael Robinson Chavez, a Washington Post photographer, said: 'Not exactly carbon-friendly.'

Aiming to clear the runway for youth to take off and fly high, Bauhinia Foundation Research Centre (the Centre) today (25 November 2014) released a study report on 'Level Up! Let our youth reach for the sky', which examines challenges facing young people aged between 15 and 24, particularly on socio-economic changes, education, employment as well as start-up business and its environment in Hong Kong over the past 20 years, and recommends twin sets of 'Ups' and 'Minds' to help young people.
Education remains one of the best ways for young people to move upward and acquire the necessary knowledge to thrive. The findings show that in 2011 the proportion of higher income group for people who attained tertiary education (40%) is larger than the working population with a lower level of educational attainment (7%). Similarly, the proportion of higher income group for people with degree or above qualification (48%) is more than those with sub-degree or equivalent qualification (21%). In other words, young people with higher academic achievement will obtain higher earning power after years of workings, can climb up the social ladder.
Some European countries, such as Germany, set out educational frameworks that recognise vocational training as a legitimate channel to groom skill-based young talents who are not suitable for the mainstream curriculum. Contrary to European countries, highly-educated talents are far more valued than highly-skilled talents in Hong Kong, this limits opportunities and obstructs social mobility.
Post-secondary students need to shoulder more burdens after graduation. Apart from seeking jobs, they have to pay off student loans. The study finds that the monthly income of fresh sub-degree graduates is about HK$10,000 at the initial stage and approximately 10% of this is used for loan repayment.
In Hong Kong, the rise in home prices is faster than the income growth of the local working population. In an attempt to track the changes of home affordability in 2011 and 20 years ago, the study examines the median income of a couple with 10 years of working experience and the price of a housing unit with size below 400 square feet. The finding shows that a couple required 8.8 years of savings to settle the downpayment for home purchase in 1991 but the saving time had increased to 12.7 years in 2011. In the second quarter of 2014, it took the couple 14.4 years to save enough for the deposit, and the monthly mortgage payment accounted for over 40% of the median income. Property prices in Hong Kong are not affordable for most people.
Looking at the labour market, the findings show high value-added industries such as finance, insurance, real estates and professional business service tend to create more high-paid job vacancies while sectors like wholesale, retail and import/export trades, restaurants and hospitality sectors that require a larger workforce create relatively lower income growth.
With regard to entrepreneurship in Hong Kong, data shows that both the actual number and the proportion of employers to working population have been declining over the past 10 years. Despite a rise in number of business enterprises, most of them are small and medium businesses with 1-9 employees. In other words, successful business startups are rarer and the business environment is more challenging than 10 years ago. Even though more youth in Hong Kong are interested in starting up their own businesses, they unavoidably have to overcome plenty of challenges such as fund raising, putting in place the business knowhow and operational model, establishing social networks, and excelling their businesses with creativity and courage.
The following 'ups' and 'minds' are suggested to the Government and business sectors who can help young people overcome hurdles in climbing the social ladder.
Noting that reforming the apprenticeship scheme should gain support from enterprises and employers, the report encourages more employers to take part in designing programme curricula, technical standards, assessment criteria and also to hire more apprentices.
"Comparing with skill-based talents recruited from other companies, apprentices attached to the company will have a stronger sense of belonging and will adapt more easily in a familiar working environment, operational model and work culture. We also suggest the Government to provide a monthly subsidy to employers who offer places under the apprenticeship as an incentive. The scheme is particularly suitable for industry with manpower shortages," said Lau Ming-wai, the Centre's Vice-chairman and convenor of the study.
In order to attract more young people to join the high skilled sector, the Centre suggests fine-tuning the label 'apprentice' to best reflect the career prospect of the trainee under the apprenticeship scheme. The report also points out that the Apprenticeship Ordinance is not comprehensive as it covers only 45 designated trades that overemphasize on electrical engineering, construction, mechanical engineering industry. The ordinance only applies to youth aged between 14 and 19. The Centre suggests the Government to extend the coverage of more professions (e.g. cruise and maritime entertainment, bartending, information and communications technology services) and remove the age limit for apprentices. Similar to the honours degree classification at the university, completion certificates with grades will have more credibility and differentiation. The certificate of completion can be further graded in accordance with the level of achievement and standard of apprentices. The Government should consider amending the ordinance in the long run.
In the wake of globalisation, young people should not only equip themselves with textbook knowledge, but also upgrade themselves to the next level by enriching their exposure and experiences. The global economy is shifting from west to east. The Centre suggests the Government to allocate extra resources to provide more activities and courses engaging the latest developments in Mainland China, especially their economic and business development. Ahead of joining the labour market or starting their own businesses, young people should be prepared for the market opportunities arising from rapid economic growth in the Greater China region.
As for young people already in the job market, the Centre suggests the Government to inject more money into the Continuing Education Fund. Young people can increase their competitiveness through lifelong learning and be better prepared for future job promotions. As far as young people at work is concerned, it is important to enhance the Qualifications Framework and recruit more industries to participate in the 'Recognition of Prior Learning' and credit-transfer mechanism. An enhanced comprehensive Qualifications Framework will raise the competitiveness of non-academic achievers with experiences and allow them to obtain a recognised qualification for further advancement.
Broad-mindedness and bold-mindedness are two attributes vital to entrepreneurship. Personal effort, however, is not the only success factor. To think out of the box, the Government should team up with the business sectors to create a favourable environment for start-ups and facilitate youth in Hong Kong to level up. All roads lead to Rome, but how can we pave roads accessible to youth in Hong Kong? The Centre suggests the Government to enhance the transparency of the 'Microfinance Scheme' approving criteria and to review whether the degree holders can be exempted from taking its training courses. As such, young entrepreneurs who need start-up capital and knowledge can therefore have greater chance of getting approval and sustaining their businesses.
To ease young people's financial burdens on student loan repayment, the Centre suggests the Government to give an option to borrowers with income below a certain level to defer repayment schedule for up to five years after graduation. Not only can it nurture young people with better financial planning, it can also give young people more flexibility in achieving various life goals.
To uphold Hong Kong's long-term competitiveness, nurturing creative and innovative minds of our next generation is of paramount importance. The Centre suggests the Government to establish a code of practice and guidelines on crowdfunding in order to strengthen investors' confidence. The suggestion is favourable to the development of crowdfunding, which in turn stimulates creative thinking of our youth in product design and project development.
To facilitate youth in accessing resources, the Government should provide more serviced offices for young entrepreneurs with a view to lower the startup cost. Revitalising industrial building and encouraging the use of less utilised public facilities such as Youth Square in Chai Wan.
In light of their solid foundation, the Centre suggests the highly competitive industries to develop into high value-added industries with an aim of creating more well-paid jobs. The tourism industry, for example, can be transformed into international meetings, incentive travels, conventions and exhibitions (MICE) tourism. Traditional industries should incorporate more initiatives into their niche products and diversify target customers; this would help create more jobs that are attractive to young people.
"In 2013, Hong Kong launched the pioneering Art Basel. The art exhibition has not only attracted collectors to visit Hong Kong and benefited the art industry directly, other related industries such as legal services, insurance and logistics also benefited. Apart from creating lots of jobs, the art exhibition itself and its related industries require different levels of talents, from low-end to high-end. There is hope for youth to move onto a higher level," said Lau Ming-wai.
Confronted with a challenging and competitive environment, young people have to acquire not only confidence, ambition, vision and strong personality, they must boldly step out of the 'comfort zone' and to think out of the box. "Extrinsic motivation from the Government and business sectors can have a powerful influence on youth development. With good life and career planning, young people can enjoy better quality of life which helps sustain the development and growth of society," Dr. Li concluded.


Congratulations on placing third (it was first in my opinion, I demand a recount). And thanks for sharing a place to participate in weekly competitions. So far I've only used NYC Midnight but see the benefit of regular runouts rather than the biannual effort over there.
Thanks, Christopher! It's a great competition – I did manage to win it once last year and have finished third before, but i usually come in the top ten so it's quite motivating. You definitely should give it a go. I need these little challenges to keep me motivated!
I'm hoping it's a way to freshen me during long periods of hammering away at the keyboard.

Al-Andalus, Muslim Spain, 756-1492
A single member of the Umayyad family, Abd al-Rahman, managed to escape the bloody conflict that ensued after the Abbasids seized power. He fled to Spain, the Islamic empire's westernmost province, which the Muslims called al-Andalus. This is where he established the Spanish Umayyad Emirate in 756, with its capital in Cordoba. The city soon grew into western Europe's largest, with more than 500,000 inhabitants. It became a center of Islamic culture, and its schools and libraries attracted Muslim, Christian, and Jewish intellectuals. The Spanish Umayyads reached their political and cultural culmination in the 10th century, when Abd al-Rahman III (912-961) assumed the titles of caliph and "Prince of the Believers" to show that the realm was autonomous in relation to the Abbasids and Fatimids. Art was an important tool in emphasizing the caliph's status, and a great many resources went into creating refined works of art, frequently with naturalistic depictions of plants, animals, and people. Abd al-Rahman III's palace-city outside Cordoba, Madinat al-Zahra, set a new standard with its wealth of carved marble, and the mosque in Cordoba was expanded and embellished with palace-like magnificence.
At the beginning of the 11th century, the caliphate of the Spanish Umayyads was dissolved into many little states, called the Taifa kingdoms, which fought one another and also came under increasing pressure from the minor Christian kingdoms that had survived in northern Spain. An appeal for help from abroad led to the North African Almoravids and later the Almohads seizing power. At the battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, the Almohads were decisively defeated by the combined forces of the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile. The Iberian Peninsula then fell into Christian hands, apart from a small region in the southeast, where the Nasrids were able to hold their own for a few more centuries.
The Nasrid Sultanate was founded in 1232 in the mountainous area around Granada, Malaga, and Almeria. The realm was under constant pressure, and from 1243 was obliged to pay tribute to the Christian kingdom of Castile and Leon. Many expelled Muslims sought refuge with the Nasrids, whose capital of Granada, in particular, developed into the last flourishing stronghold of Islamic culture in Spain, financed among other things by silk manufacture. A unique complex of palaces, watercourses, and gardens was created in the sultans' palace-city, the Alhambra, which was surrendered intact when the sultanate fell in 1492.
Muslim culture survived on the Iberian Peninsula through Muslim craftsmen, whose production of inlaid woodwork, polychrome tiles, and luster-decorated ceramics remained in demand among the Christian ruling elite.
In the year 500 H (1106-1107 AD) the Almoravid leader 'Ali ibn Yusuf inherited a great empire in North Africa and Spain from his father, Yusuf ibn Tashufin. However, within fifty years the Almoravid dynasty was destroyed by their successors, the Almohads.
The founder of the Almohads, Ibn Tumart, having rudely dismissed the Almoravids as "uncouth shepherds", captured the city of Marrakesh, killed the last Almoravid ruler, Ishaq ibn 'Ali, and crossed the Straits of Gibraltar to conquer Spain.
By this time the Muslims of Spain had grown tired of the Almoravid occupation of the peninsula, and welcomed the Almohads. It would appear that the Almoravids brought their downfall upon themselves, for they have been described as "unlettered, legalistic and intolerant barbarians". They had little appreciation of the poets and artists who had always been made welcome at the courts of the Muluk al-Tawa'if.
To add to their difficulties, their military leaders were incompetent and they were unable to enlist enough soldiers to hold back the Christian advance.
The last Almoravid governor of Spain, Yahya ibn Ghaniya, died in 543 H (1148 AD), but his descendants remained in the Balearic Islands, and tried to regain power for the Almoravids in North Africa by waging war against the Almohads until well into the next century.
Partisans of the Almoravids remained in Spain for a few years after the downfall of the dynasty, and struck coins of their own.
The legends on this tiny piece are beautifully inscribed and very clear. It does not bear the name of any ruler, apart from Banu Tashufin, meaning "Sons of Tashufin", and has neither mint name nor date.
The difficult situation the Almoravid partisans found themselves in is summed up by the cri de coeur on the reverse, "O God, have mercy on the Commander of the Muslims, the sons of Tashufin".

Don't Spit on the Sidewalk
Posted on January 11, 2022 January 11, 2022 by Mike Miller
Don't spit on sidewalk? Interesting phrase. It used to be that bricks were the most common paving solution for sidewalks and streets, in addition to building construction.
Dr. Crumbine
Why Kansas? That's often my question, but in this particular case, I wondered about the origin of the "Don't Spit on Sidewalk" phrase. Aside from not wanting public infrastructure to resemble a saloon floor on a Saturday night, Dr. Samuel Crumbine, of Dodge City, Kansas, began a public health campaign against spitting tobacco and generally hocking up a phlegm and whatever organisms might be feasting in your saliva. Back in the days before proper sanitation and the danger of germs and the transfer of diseases, men, and sometimes women, spit wherever they chose.
According to the bio of Dr. Crumbine (catchy name), several things bugged him. One, he saw people drink from community cups without washing them out first, an obvious way of spreading germs. He also saw people using the same towel, over and over to wipe, cough on and even blow a nose, transferring whatever was on (and maybe inside their bodies) on the towel and the next person up. And then, while on a serene train ride, he observed tuberculosis patients spitting on the train floor. Imagine slipping and sliding on that nasty slime.
Dr. Crumbine was not just the town crier against spit, he served as the secretary of the Kansas State Board of Health for 20 years, giving him not just a pulpit but some authority to steer public policy and change health and sanitation practices. Most people who carried the tuberculosis infection showed no signs, yet they could infect others, which often happened. One out of seven who contracted TB died. Imagine in the late 1800s trying to convince the average person that they could easily infect someone with a disease that they were not ill from. Doesn't everyone believe in science?
Dr. Crumbine believed in the control of flies and rats; and getting rid of breeding sources like foul water, animal carcasses, manure in the streets and waste disposal. What we take as common sense now, were challenging ideas then.
"We doctors had difficulty getting people to observe modern rules of hygiene and even greater difficulty in persuading them that many of their beliefs concerning health and disease were age-old superstitions without any basis in fact," Dr. Crumbine wrote.
Meanwhile, back at the brick factory, Dr. Crumbine took his campaign to the people making bricks to get them to stamp a public service announcement directly on the bricks. This was obviously before social media, in fact, it was before indoor plumbing for most. Since people mostly walked, when they were atop of horse or in a carriage, "Don't Spit on Sidewalk" was direct messaging. Dr. Crumbine was able to convince at least two big Kansas brick factories, one in Topeka and the other in Coffeyville, to imprint at least some of their bricks. More than a century later, these bricks are still around, in sidewalks and as collector items.
Dr. Crumbine also served as the Dean of Medicine at the University of Kansas. He was instrumental in linking the pollution of underground water to farming, oil production, stockyards, cesspools and other activities. In his spare time, Dr. Crumbine turned to the dairies, food manufactures and packing houses that were including such things as sulfuric acid, paint, lead, copper and even embalming fluid in the common foods people were ingesting. Bon appetit!
Then, in 1918 came something called the Spanish flu, which occurred while Dr. Crumbine was the leader of public health in the state. Five hundred million people were infected and an estimated 50 million died worldwide. Masking, disinfectants for cleaning (not digesting), quarantines and limits on public gatherings were used to slow the spread. What ingenious ideas!
Dr. Crumbine had an uphill battle, not just with public education, but with political leaders in Kansas and representatives of business and industry. He was attacked on religious issues, by those who labeled him spreading fake science and those claiming he was bad for the economy. He also had to battle the hucksters pedaling elixirs and false cures, who descended on towns like a religious revival. Imagine being opposed for trying to do the right thing. Thank goodness that times have changed.

NFTb – The first NFT marketplace built on the BNB chain, showcasing a vast collection of art and goods
The platform is built specifically to reward creators who want to reach a wide audience via the NFT sphere.
The popularity of NFTs has been on the rise in recent times, with many projects and platforms associated with this digital asset making their mark. This has encouraged many to step into this space and try how this emerging technology works for them, especially artists who have associated themselves with many NFT platforms to get a wide coverage. NFTb is one such marketplace which has been created to connect creators with the right audience via the NFT mode. It is built on the BNB Chain. It is one of the few platforms which is community owned and functions as a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). The makers of NFTb have tried to structure the token economics of the network to reward creators of digital art and collectibles, which has worked well in pushing them to their optimum limits to create NFTs and sell them on NFTb.
The platform has tried to make it easy for creators to enter the NFT space without getting too technical about it as this space has vast potential which is untapped till now and needs to be opened up on a wide scale, NFTs being the best option to do that. Marketplaces which are currently operational do not reward creators for effects and filters which NFTb does, opening up a whole new world in the non-crypto digital art world, which has huge potential. Many wonder why NFTb has chosen to operate on the BNB chain and not Ethereum? According to the team behind this project, nearly all NFT marketplaces that are operational at present are built on Ethereum. Additionally, with the ETH2 about to be released, it's not clear what lies ahead. Apart from that, high participation fees backed by other miscellaneous fees have been the reason for many users backing out of the market.
Secondly, the team strongly trusts the BNB chain and the potential it carries, which would enable better rewards for creators and holders. Furthermore, by combining both CEX and DEX liquidity there's a better user experience altogether, the reason its makers have gone in for the BNB chain.

The seasons are about to change and Spring is in the air. This is the time of year where plenty of us are thinking about what we want to happen next in our life and how satisfied we are with the status quo.
Take a minute and be honest with yourself. How have you felt over the last year?
Congratulations if the last 12 months were ideal and gave you every chance to shine. You now have the choice of staying the same and still enjoying life without too much effort.
If the last 12 months were a struggle and you feel frustrated, unhappy or stuck in a rut you owe it to yourself to set a goal that will change your life. Here's the key question to answer to get you started.
Where Will You Focus Your Attention?
It is very easy to get caught up in the business of being busy. If you have a job, lead a team, run a business, have a family and enjoy your social life your calendar is already full.
Do yourself a favour. Stop. Take a piece of paper and a pen then write down the key words that matter to you. This could look like a list, or it might be spread across the page. Either way you will have information from which you can pick the one area on which you can focus attention (the area you know in your heart / gut needs some work). That's the one on which to build your next goal.
How Do Our True Stories Help Us Achieve #Success With Our #Goals ?
So, I went to a funeral last week.
It was an emotional ceremony of course. It was also a celebration of the life of someone whose 89 years were well spent.
As well as the tears there were tons of stories about the difference this much loved grandparent made in raising a family; holding down a career; being a fantastic cook.
These anecdotes reminded me that our true stories are very important.
Knowing our true stories and sharing them helps others see the gifts we have to offer. If you have ever had to frame your life experience for an interviewer or college admissions officer you know what I mean.
What Does It Take To Tell Your Story?
For some people it is very easy to describe what they have done, what they have learned and the value they contribute to their customers.
For some of us it can take time and effort to organise our story so it does us justice. Does preparing for an interview feel overwhelming? Are you a bit shy to talk about your achievements? Have you ever thought you are just not ready to take the next step to achieve your goal?
If so help is at hand. Next month I'll be publishing a resource to help you tell your story. Be sure to check back in November to find out more.
Meanwhile feel free to share your secret to interview success by leaving a comment and to Like and Share this post if it has been useful.
Blimey. There are only 122 days left in 2017.
Thanks for reading this post. Feel free to feedback about the other principles that work for you by commenting below. You can always Like and Share this post if it helps you during the days ahead.
It's that time of year. The time when you start thinking about your next goal.
Maybe your heart is set on getting a new job, or starting a college course. Assuming your initial application has been successful and you have been chosen for interview the tricky part is ahead. 30 minutes marketing yourself to someone else.
So, your interview clothes are pressed.
You've practised smiling and shaking hands at the same time.
What's your next step toward your goal?
Just recently I helped some interviewees practice their self-marketing skills. The candidates turned up looking like they wanted to impress (professionally dressed, heads up, smiling).
They were prepared, as they knew how the interview helped them toward their ultimate goal.
First, What Attracted You To Apply For This Job / Course?
This open question allows you to start showing the interviewer why they should consider you an ideal fit for their opportunity.
You can use examples which show the strengths you have which make you perfectly suited to be a good performer if you join the organisation quite quickly and a great one in the longer term.
When you are presenting your examples use the STAR method to explain your Situation the Task you tackled, the Action you took and the great Results you produced. Extra credit if you describe the obstacles you overcame and the lessons you learned.
2. What Qualities Do You Bring To The Team?
More often than not you will be involved with other people in a business-as-usual or project team. How have you worked with others to solve problems? What skills do you bring to a team? If you have led a team, how have you motivated others? Use the STAR process to tell your story.
3. What Is The First Thing You Do When Your Plans Don't Work Out?
Here's your chance to shine. Everyone knows that plans don't always work out. If you have a good example of how you handled a problem which came up out of the blue, use it. It is important to spotlight what you did in the situation though, even if others were involved. The interviewer will want to know about the difference you made to the end result.
If you have thoughtful answers to these questions (and you tell your story well) you will stand out in the interviewers mind. If she or he has seen five or six candidates you want to be the first person they think about when they imagine selecting a new team member. Good preparation and presentation will help you stand out.
So, good luck if you are a starting out, or moving on in your career. Use the comment section to say how you prepare for interviews where you are marketing yourself to strangers. You can be sure others will appreciate what you have to say.
Finally, thanks for reading. Feel free to Like and Share these ideas if you found them helpful.


405 W. 22nd Street, Austin, TX 78705.
The University Baptist Student Union was constructed during the post-World War II period that saw a wave of people going to university courtesy of the GI Bill. With the influx of students at the University of Texas at Austin after the war, many of the churches and faith-based student groups in the surrounding neighborhoods also experienced increasing membership numbers. Built in 1949, this building features the work of two nationally significant Modernist artists - Seymour Fogel and Charles Umlauf. At the time, both Fogel and Umauf were teaching at The University of Texas School of Fine Arts. Although this building has undergone a number of insensitive additions (not visible from primary facade) and alterations (rounded, concrete and aluminum windows), the building is significant as an early example of midcentury modern architecture which integrates public art in Austin, TX. The building was designed by Carlton Brush, a prominent member of the Austin Baptist community and Central Texas AIA chapter, with the help of associate architect, J. Robert Buffler; Buffler, who was an architecture professor at UT Austin, collaborated with Brush on a number of projects in Austin.

Hindustantimes: A state of emergency has been declared in Florida as the worst red tide in a decade blackens the ocean water, killing dolphins, sea turtles and fish at a relentless pace.
In just the past week, 12 dolphins washed ashore dead in Sarasota County, typically the toll seen in an entire year. "It is physically and mentally exhausting," said Gretchen Lovewell, who is in charge of a skeleton crew at Mote Marine Laboratory that collects dead or distressed sea turtles and marine mammals.
She and two colleagues "have been literally working around the clock," Lovewell added. On Sunday, near the fluffy sands of Siesta Key, one of America's top-ranked beaches, Lovewell recovered the remains of a decomposing dolphin. A faint number, 252, was visible, freeze-branded onto its dorsal fin.
"It was devastating," said Randall Wells, director of the Chicago Zoological Society's Sarasota Dolphin Research Program, the world's longest-running study of a wild dolphin population, under way since 1970.
"He was named after my dad."Red tide is suspected as the cause of Speck's death, but researchers won't know for certain until lab results come back in the next few weeks.
"It's hurt our business I'd say around 40 per cent." Residents hope that lawmakers and government officials will take action on restoring water flow southward through the Everglades, building inland reservoirs where pollutants can seep out before reaching the coast, and cutting back on fertilizers.

I've been customizing my Mac OS X shell a bit today. The cyan above is for the current directory and the purple shows the current git branch, which is why it appears when I change directory to a git repository.
I used oh-my-zsh to start, but I didn't like any of the included themes.
The thoughtbot guys have put together a nice zsh dotfiles setup. They include a handy little script that symlinks from the dotfiles directory to your .* files themselves, making it easy to link up your dotfiles to a github repository for sharing and copying to additional computers.
I added an idea from Steve Losh and from Aaron Malone. By the way, I really like those themes as well. I recommend Aaron's version just because it's a little more robust.
What theme am I using in the screenshot? Tomorrow Night Eighties from Chris Kempson's Tomorrow Night Eighties for iTerm2. I'm also using the Tomorrow Theme to highlight the code above.
You can check out my dotfiles and customized oh-my-zsh on my github.


How to Measure SEO Using Google Analytics?
High ranking for keywords that no one searches for is like opening a shop in a remote location, far from the city where traffic is.
Google personalizes search results through web history, geographic locations and bookmark history; hence you may see results which others are not seeing.
High rankings have a bigger goal – a quality traffic stream. If high Google rankings do not send you inquiries, they probably do not matter a lot.
SEO is like fishing – the wider your net, the better your catch. Too much obsession with limited keywords means your daily, weekly and monthly traffic number may still remain low.


Martin McGuinness was an IRA commander who became friends with his most implacable enemy.
His partnership at the top of Stormont's power-sharing administration with fundamentalist unionist leader the Rev Ian Paisley would have been unthinkable in the days when republican bombs were ripping Northern Ireland and Great Britain's cities to shreds and costing thousands of lives.
Ex-first minister Dr Paisley was the Dr No who vowed to smash Sinn Fein but eventually said yes to sharing power with his foe in an often jovial partnership which saw them dubbed the Chuckle Brothers.
Mr McGuinness was the extremist who once defended the slaughter of police and soldiers for a united Ireland but finally offered the hand of friendship to Britain and to unionists and toasted the Queen.
His partnership with the DUP leader as deputy first minister at Stormont was a shining example of peacemaking – of turning swords into plowshares – and in 2009 he dubbed dissident republicans who killed a police officer as traitors to Ireland.
Mr McGuinness' own version of Irish patriotism evolved from gunboat diplomacy to a ballot box struggle which was to see Sinn Fein become pre-eminent among nationalists and demolish a century-old unionist majority at Stormont following a party vote surge in 2017.
The Saville Inquiry into Bloody Sunday in 1972 said he "probably" carried a sub-machine gun during the massacre of 13 unarmed civil rights protestors by soldiers in Londonderry. He admitted to being second-in-command of the Provisionals that day.
The steely-eyed and bluntly spoken young man was a ruthless proponent of republican violence, which caused more than half of the 3,600 killings between 1969 and 1998, in opposition to British rule in Northern Ireland but became a senior member of Sinn Fein as the conflict neared its end.
He was integral to nearly every major decision taken by the republican movement over the last 30 years, promising to lead it to a united Ireland. He did not succeed.
The former butcher from the Bogside in Londonderry, who was a man of action during the street fighting of the 1970s and once defended the spilling of copious amounts of blood in pursuit of his political Shangri La, ended up toasting the Queen at Windsor Castle and shaking her hand in a remarkable gesture of reconciliation with Britain after a long career of peace-making.
Mr McGuinness negotiated the 1998 Good Friday peace agreement, secured IRA arms decommissioning in 2005 and shared government with former enemies in Belfast as deputy first minister.
He felt the 2012 handshake with the Queen could help define "a new relationship between Britain and Ireland and between the Irish people themselves".
But critics argued that just as the IRA should have halted the violence a lot sooner, Mr McGuinness could have met the British head of state earlier.
His final significant act was to resign as deputy first minister and take first minister Arlene Foster with him, ending a decade of testy coalition government with the DUP.
Mr McGuinness was born in 1950 in a terraced house in Londonderry's Bogside housing estate, a one-time no-go area for soldiers and hotbed of IRA planning and activity.
He was educated at the local Christian Brothers school. Unlike Gerry Adams, who came from a traditional hard-line republican family, Mr McGuinness showed little interest in politics before the start of the Troubles.
Nor did he join the IRA until after the British Army had been sent to Northern Ireland in August 1969 to restore order after a pitched battle between the RUC and inhabitants of the Bogside.
He was sufficiently highly regarded to be one of the IRA delegation flown to London to talk to Willie Whitelaw, the first-ever Northern Ireland secretary.
The republican was sentenced to six months in prison in the Republic of Ireland after being caught in a car containing large quantities of explosives and ammunition.
The teetotal, non-smoker with a love for Gaelic football, cricket and fishing insisted on "purity" from his fellow partisans in the IRA and when in jail in Dublin ordered his colleagues to remove pin-up pictures from their cell walls.
Mr McGuinness has said he left the IRA in 1974.
Other accounts suggested he was made chief of staff of the organisation in 1978 and streamlined it into an urban guerrilla force based on small, tightly controlled cells.
Former Irish justice minister Michael McDowell said he was a member of its ruling Army Council.
But his membership or otherwise of the IRA was irrelevant since he was regarded as having more influence than anyone over the men of violence.
In 1997 he was elected Mid Ulster MP but did not take his seat as he would not swear an oath to the Queen.
As Sinn Fein's chief negotiator of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement he helped establish the power-sharing institutions and renounced violence.
In 1999 he became the chauffeur-driven education minister at the Assembly who was to scrap the transfer test at age 11, part of a power-sharing coalition of unionists and Irish nationalists at Stormont.
The DUP refused to work with him because of his chequered past.
By 2005 the Provisionals decommissioned arms after Mr McGuinness led negotiations – a process which started with the armed group vowing to volunteer not an ounce of explosives.
By 2007 Sinn Fein had pledged support for the police force and Ian Paisley, the fiery preacher of "never", was prepared as leader of the largest party to enter government with Sinn Fein.
The pair struck up an unlikely "Chuckle Brothers" bonhomie heading the ministerial Executive.
But it was not all laughs and in 2009 Mr McGuinness described dissident republicans who murdered two soldiers and a police officer as "traitors to Ireland".
When the Queen visited Dublin that year the veteran republican was absent but by June 2012 he was ready to meet her.
They shook hands at a Belfast theatre and Mr McGuinness said the encounter was "a result of decades of work constructing the Irish peace process".
In 2014 he attended a banquet at Windsor Castle as part of a state visit by the Irish president and joined in a toast to the monarch.
In 2013 he travelled to Warrington to speak at the invitation of Colin and Wendy Parry, whose son Tim was killed by an IRA bomb, to acknowledge their pain.
But he enjoyed more strained relationships with Mr Paisley's successor as first minister at Stormont, Peter Robinson, as the joint office was embroiled in controversy over property dealings.
Difficulties also surfaced over welfare reform, investigating thousands of conflict deaths and a green energy scheme which is predicted to be £490 million overspent.
After Mr McGuinness gave first minister Arlene Foster an ultimatum to step aside, which was ignored, he announced his resignation in January 2017.
It was the last act of a career forged in the flames of the Troubles which reached its zenith after the guns had fallen silent.
He is survived by his wife Bernie and four children.

Reading for Yellow Magnetic Seed
YellowMagnetic Seed
Yellow Seed is your Conscious Self - who you are and who you are becoming.Yellow Seed is the ordered pattern of growth. You and your life are the fertile soil, and the mystery blooms within you through the power of your intention or seed thoughts. Just as a seed contains the hologram of its completion, the process of manifestation follows a natural order. In this gestation process, your intention is quickened by Spirit. The charged seed, your true desire or vision, becomes the focus for germination.What can you open that will support receptivity and assist the germination of your seed intentions? Envision the seed receiving the invitation to grow in the openness of your world. Viscerally feel the possibility of your heart's dream emerging. Your true desires and dreams contain an innate intelligence that can break through even the rigidity of fixed expectations. Planting a new seed, even in the hard soil of old belief systems, can bring unexpected magic and growth.Be willing to break open the constraining shells of past patterns, the shackles of belief structures. Call forth your creative involvement with life. This involvement frees and awakens the powerful energy of the life force, shifting your perceptions and experience, catalyzing the manifestation of your dreams. Participate spontaneously in your growth, unrestricted by the illusion of old structures that once provided safety. Move forward into the light of new possibilities.Offer your dream-seed to the universe. In the ordered patterning of the light, align with your heart's greater purpose. In gratitude, surrender and release the seed to the benefit of your growth and its own pattern of perfection.The number for Yellow Seed is four, the vibration of measure. This is the number of cycles and seasons. It represents the ordered patterning of the light wherein, as Jose Arguelles says, "form learns to generate its own seed." The number four represents the freed pattern of form, the germination of specific seeds co-created with Spirit. If you are in the process of seeding something, meditate with the number four and the energy of Yellow Seed to assist you.
Yellow Seed is also your Higher Self & Guide.(you are guided by your own power doubled)Yellow Seed encompasses an ordered pattern of light known as entelechy, the power that directs an organism toward the fulfillment of its own nature. Yellow Seed is a symbol of this natural, ordered power. Within any seed is the hologram of both is potential and the fulfillment of it's true nature. All possibility exists within the seed; it is informed directly from the ordered patterning of the light. That is to say, the perfect unfolding of a seed's potential is determined at each stage of its growth. Often we are caught in the maze of mind, looking for answers when, through our innate tropism to the light, our perfect pattern of growth would unfold with joyful ease.
Tropism is the tendency to respond or move toward something by natural attraction. Through a code inherent within, a sprouted seed grows toward the light and a sunflower follows the Sun. In like manner, you respond to the light of your Essence Self, opening naturally to the fulfillment of your true nature. Through your own process of living and learning, you generate and plant various intentions and desires. As your natural growth pattern is catalyzed and awakened, your truth germinates in wisdom, emerging into the light in which all seeds flourish. Thus, as you plant your own truth, more truth comes to light. In this way, you create ever more fertile ground in which to explore and express all that you are.
Red Earth is your Subconscious Self and Hidden Helper.
Red Earth is the access point to your natural alignment with Earth force. It is the unis mundi, the point of perfect centeredness in the eternal present from which all alignment and magic manifest. Your center, the Earth center, is the secret of gravity's magnetizing force. Red Earth is the channel of harmonic synchronization that is aligned with the galactic heart. From the center point within eslf, you align with this galactic center and connect through your own crystalline structure to the larger crystal grid network. To keep this channel of synchronization open, connect to the elemental energies of earth, air, fire and water, and the seven directional guardians.
By accepting your physical form and your growth process in this world, you access the hub of centeredness out of which all the truth and magic of the universe unfold.Take off your shoes. Touch the one Earth. Find a place to dance with the sacred hoop of life. Contribute your vision as an awakened member of the global rainbow family!White Wizard represents your Challenge and Gift. With maturity and awareness this challenge will turn into a Focus. This is what you desire to learn in this lifetime.One shadow of White Wizard can be seen in issues regarding integrity. Integrity comes from an intention to be honest and true to yourself and others. Having integrity means that you can be trusted to do what you say you will do. It also means that your actions are congruent with your feelings. Integrity comes from a deep connection with self. It is characterized by a willingness to speak your truth, to address your shadow issues honestly, and to complete issues with yourself and others.White Wizard also reveals issues of control and personal power. Look into your life to see how these issues might be manifesting. Do you sometimes feel a need to hold on, to control, to have things your way? Is your personal will combined with a desires for recognition, approval, status, or fame? This society may have rewarded you for functioning from a place of personal power. Many people in this shadow seem calculating and controlling, using their minds without alliance to their hearts. The need for control arises when you feel insecure or no longer connected to that which creates meaning and satisfaction in your life.Similarly, people who view power as something outside themselves may see magic as the art of controlling people and nature. This perception creates it's own lessons. In this shadow, you may unconciously bend or distort data. Some magicians may even feel justified in using their personl power to bolster their self-assurance or to manipulate others. In the darkest part of this shadow, manipulation is enacted for the sheer pleasure of power.Everyone may be willful from time to time while learning how to align personal will with divine will. In this process, let your heart show you the way. Face your insecurities and step into who you truly are - a wise and powerful uman being, a magician of living. As you open to divine will, you will naturally resolve issues of personal will and power.White Wizard also offers you an opportunity to create allies out of your fears and insecurities. Perhaps you are carrying issues from past lifetimes - deep wounds that create present issues of pain, anger or betrayal. These experiences may be clouding your vision. In order to acquire clear sight, begin to interact with and integrate these shadow teachers. The foundation for this integration is creating an ally of fear and a loving acceptance of all aspects of yourself. This heals the underlying structure that supports ego and insecurity. It also quiets the mind and aligns it with the heart, taking you into a space of clarity and self-empowerment.Develop a clear connection with divine will and your Essence Self. Be transparent, innocently allowing magic to come through you rather than needing to create it. Open to heart-knowing and limitless possibilities.
Blue Eagle is your Compliment - something that comes naturally to you.Blue Eagle reminds you to step powerfully into your commitment as a planetary server! Your assignment includes whatever furthers your personal evolution and the evolution of global mind. You are an awakener, a transformer, an empowered gloal visionary. In your vision, you have compassion for others, and your decisions are made in the light of global consciousness. Ask yourself how you might experience compassion toward self, the Earth, and others. Be guided towards types of work, relationships, places to live, and projects that will benefit the Earth and her creatures. Allow your spirit to expand. Soar on your spreading wings and planetary perspective. Affirm: "Through your, Gaia, I am also transformed! I am awakening as the return of divine love and light. We are all one. Gaia, as you awaken, I heal myself. As I awaken, you are healed, and together our petals open ecstatically to the new Sun of Flowers."
It is up to each one of us to hold a positive vision and affirmation, for the means by which this miracle will occur is through changes in the one affecting the greater whole.
Imagine the profound impact your loving thoughts have on planetary mind. You do make a difference! As you connect individually with the larger crystal grid network, your power is multiplied exponentially. This galactic grid is also known as the Mayan cobweb.
The greatest gift you can offer to the planet is to simply be the love. Believe in yourself and your dreams and visions! Remember your special gifts, your path of service on Earth, your promise to serve the light. Everything you are connects to the greater whole. You are starseeded! You have the vision of the eagle. Believe in your dreams. You are the hope and the vision revealed.
Your Tone is Tone 1 - UnityUnconditional love, the one heart, indivisible essence, core vibration, new beginnings, chalice of the infinite, All That Is.One is the ray of unity with self and Source. Call forth the resonance of your true vibration. Feel the pulse of this ecstatic frequency of the One. You are being offered profound awakenings and the exquisite radiance of unconditional love. This is a time of new beginnings in your life. Be active in your individual expression, committed to the growth of your Essence Self.
You contain the paradox of the "separate" self and unity with the One. You are simultaneously the primal point of beginning and the crowing culmination. You are the initiator. You are the one who opens the way. You may feel alone or separated from Source. If so, stand in the unity of your Essence Self and focus on the reality of the one heart. You are the wisdom you seek!
