FAREWELL SKYFIRE ROCKET LEAGUE
Team SKYFIRE is sad to announce the departure of our Rocket League team containing Riv, Finn and CJM. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the roster has decided to disband. We have made the decision to release all players from their contracts to allow them to take offers from elsewhere. It's a no brainer for us to let them leave as personal issues should always take priority over performing.
We thank Riv, Finn and CJM for representing the Team SKYFIRE brand at the recent RLCS OCE Major, their hard work hasn't gone unnoticed. We wish all 3 members the best in their future endeavours. They will always be a part of the Team SKF Fam.
Team SKYFIRE will commence our search for a new Rocket League team in the coming days, as we look to sign a roster before the start of the next split. If interested please contact the Twitter accounts of Nextgen or Team SKYFIRE.

Does my child need the flu jab?
Flu can be horrible for little children, and if they get it, they can spread it around the whole family, including to other young children and babies, and beyond. This is why parents of children aged 2-3 and those in reception, school year 1, 2, 3 and 4 are being offered the vaccine for free.
Most parents (69%) know that flu can be serious and debilitating, especially for young children, and last year more children than ever were vaccinated against flu. What's more, for those that were vaccinated, the flu vaccine nasal spray reduced the risk of getting flu by 65.8%.
Pregnant women are also being urged to get their free vaccine now, to provide protection to both themselves and their unborn child. Indeed, during pregnancy a woman's immune system is weakened which makes her more susceptible to the effects of flu. The vaccine also passes on protection to her baby in the first few months after birth.
Flu can be particularly dangerous for people with long-term health conditions. These include: chronic respiratory disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis or emphysema; heart, kidney or liver disease; chronic neurological conditions like multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy; and diabetes. Vaccinating children, who are super-spreaders of the virus, can reduce spread to other, more vulnerable family members.
Why does my child need a flu vaccine?
Children who get the flu have the same symptoms as adults – including fever, chills, aching muscles, headache, stuffy nose, dry cough and sore throat. Some children develop a very high fever or complications of flu, such as bronchitis or pneumonia and may need hospital treatment. The flu vaccine can help protect your child from flu and also reduce the chance of flu spreading to others in the family.
Where can I get a flu vaccination for my child?
For children, the flu vaccine is not an injection, just a quick, painless nasal spray. If your child is aged 2-3, ask your GP for the free flu vaccine – it's available now. Parents of children in reception and school years 1, 2, 3 and 4 are encouraged to give permission for their children to receive the free nasal spray vaccination at school.
Should I have a flu vaccine if I'm pregnant? I got flu while pregnant and was VERY poorly… I was totally worried about the baby.
If you're pregnant, you should ask your GP, pharmacist or midwife for your free flu vaccination now, because you're among the groups most at risk if you catch flu. Pregnancy naturally weakens the body's immune system and flu can cause serious complications for you and your baby, as pregnant women are less able to fight off infections, increasing the risk of becoming seriously ill. The flu jab is the safest way to help protect you and your baby against flu and you can have it at any stage of pregnancy.
Why are some people offered a free flu vaccination?
Flu and complications associated with it cause 8,000 deaths on average a year in England.
The harsh reality is that flu can kill and the best way to help protect yourself and others is to get the jab. With more people eligible than ever before and the vaccine available in more locations, people should protect themselves and those around them from flu. Taking a few minutes to get the jab could save you or your child from becoming very poorly this winter.
The flu vaccine can help protect your child from flu and also reduce the chance of flu spreading to others.
Adults eligible for a free flu vaccine should contact their GP, pharmacist or midwife now, for more information. Parents of 2 and 3 year olds should ask their GP surgery, while parents of children in reception and school years 1, 2, 3 and 4 are encouraged to give permission for their children to receive the free nasal spray vaccination through their school.

Public education employees are up in arms again in West Virginia, this time over SB 451, a pay raise bill that also contains numerous provisions that are anathema to teacher unions – charter schools, education savings accounts and annual reauthorization of dues deductions. There is a lot of speculation that if the bill passes in its current state, teachers will again walk out as they did last winter.
The West Virginia strike of 2018 is credited with launching the wave of teacher job actions across the country. Often missing from accounts of the strike is the role played by the 55 county superintendents, who as a group closed all of the state's schools.
This action not only ensured teachers couldn't go to work even if they wanted to, but that the walkout days would be treated the same as snow days – meaning teachers wouldn't lose any pay for striking.

Q: Python code to print a dictionary in Jinja2 templating I'm trying to print a dictionary that looks like for e.g.
groups = {'place': ABC, 'name': XYZ , 'IP': ['1.1.1.1','2.2.2.2']}
in a table in Jinja2 templating format:
I've a word document that looks like this for now:

I know this isn't how it is supposed to look and I'm stuck as I'm a complete beginner in Jinja2. Could someone help me out here? I want to know how I can modify my table in the word document to get the required result.
PS: The code on the word document currently is:
{% tr for key,value in groups.items() %} {{key}}    {% for elem in value %}{{ elem }}{% if value|length > 0 and value.index(elem) != value|length-1 %} {%endif%}{% endfor %} {%tr endfor %}

Essentially my dict should look like:

Place
Name
IP

ABC
XYZ
1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2

The table in the image attached is what I tried for now, but it throws errors

A: you can try something like this.

      {% for key in groups.keys() %}
      {{ key|title }}
      {% endfor %}

      {% for key in groups.keys() %}
      {{ groups[key]}}

Sources in London: Legal Action in Preparation Regarding CPJCE's Betrayal of Old Vilna Jewish Cemetery
Posted on 8 June 2018 by Defending History
UK | OLD VILNA JEWISH CEMETERY | OPPOSITION TO CONVENTION CENTER PROJECT | PETITION | CHRISTIAN-JEWISH RELATIONS | CPJCE
LONDON—Reliable sources in London reported this morning that solicitors are being instructed by a group of international clients whose ancestors lie buried in the old Vilna Jewish Cemetery at Piramónt, in today's Snipiskes district of Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital. For years, the Lithuanian government's justification for planning to situate in the cemetery its new national convention project, confirmed on numerous occasions in writing, is the "permission of the CPJCE in London," a group of renegade rabbis who have ignored the pleas of all other rabbinical groups, and all major Litvak (Lithuanian origin) rabbis internationally, to give "permission" for the convention center in the heart of the cemetery. When Rabbi Chaim Burshtein, the then chief rabbi of Lithuania dared speak up in opposition, in 2015, he was rapidly dismissed. In late 2016, Rabbis Kalev Krelin and Sholom-Ber Krinsky were among the first to sign the international petition (see also Rabbi Krinsky's blog and DH section). Rabbi S. J. Feffer, author of dozens of learned books on the Gaon of Vilna, based in the city for a quarter century and head of its Litvak rabbinic authority, published a powerful ruling in 2017.
The new convention center, where revelers would cheer, sing, drink in bars and flush toilets surrounded by many thousands of still-extant graves on all four sides is planned to result from reconstruction of the Soviet-era ruin on the site plus a massive new annex. Works are scheduled to start in the coming days or weeks. Sources stress that legal action was decided on at a meeting in Switzerland last week as a last and now essential resort. For more on the CPJCE ("Committee for the Preservation [italics added] of Jewish Cemeteries in Europe") see DH's CPJCE section, and materials in Wikileaks, Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel, and Defending History. Most recently, a shocking video was posted on Youtube by an Orthodox Jewish woman in New York.
A STUDY IN BODY LANGUAGE
Which of these merry London rabbis is the most thrilled at coming to Vilnius to tell the Prime Minister he can have his convention center (and annex) in the heart of the old Jewish cemetery? Without even informing any of the three resident rabbis in town. . .
There are major human rights and minorities issues involved. It is accepted on all sides that this would never be the fate of a five-hundred year old cemetery cherished by the Christian or Lithuanian nationalist majority. Among the Lithuanians who have valiantly stood up in a European spirit of equal rights and multicultural heritage are Prof. Andrius Kulikauskas and Julius Norwilla.
Some of the greatest Jewish scholars of the past five hundred years are still buried at the cemetery, though the stones were all pilfered during the Soviet period (they turn up regularly in the city). There have been various proposals to make a restored Old Vilna Jewish cemetery a major tourist site for Lithuania.
The situation is exacerbated by evidence that the CPJCE negotiates secret payments for their permissions and supervisions, effectively amounting, in the view of some critics, to alleged unethical and illegal sale of other people's graves, duly paid for by thousands of families over half a millennium. The CPJCE is affiliated with the "Aaronite" branch of Satmar Hasidism. Its rival, the Zalmenite branch, has condemned the convention center project, in agreement with the major Lithuanian origin rabbis, an array of individual and institutional protests, and a current international petition, launched by a Vilnius Orthodox Jewish woman, Ruta Bloshtein, that is approaching the 44,000 signature mark.
Many of the groups opposing the defiling of the Old Vilna Jewish Cemetery have proposed restoration in the spirit of that in Frankfurt, Germany and other major European cities. A number of general visualizations have been provided of what could become a major asset to the international standing of Vilnius, in a sense the exact opposite of a convention center that people of conscience would for generations refuse to set foot in.
The following visualization (in three versions, English, Lithuanian, and Yiddish) was produced by Julius Norwilla.

You will drive along the shoreline and have wonderful views over the Saronic Gulf and the cliffs, beaches, and villages along the way.

The Temple Of Poseidon Tour
Sunset Day Trip from Athens to Temple Of Poseidon
After a 90 minutes ride, you will arrive in Cape Sounion and the magnificent ruins of the Temple of Poseidon. Subsequently, have a short walk to the temple, framed by the magnificent views of the endless blue of the Aegean Sea. Your Licensed English speaking guide will explain the temple's long history. Meanwhile, find out about the Myths around it and its huge importance as a place of worship and vantage point.
The history of the Temple of Poseidon
Temple of Poseidon Tour
The Ancient Greeks built it in 444 BC in honor of Poseidon the god of the sea. Located in Cape Sounio the Temple stands above the sea at a height of almost 60 meters (200 ft). Most importantly Cape Sounio was a strategic point in order to control the shipping lanes to Athens.
Xerxes, I's destroyed the original, Archaic-period temple of Poseidon on the site. This was in 480 BC during the invasion of Greece. Meanwhile, Xerxes had everything on the Acropolis of Athens, razed as punishment for the Athenians' defiance. After Xerxes' defeat in the naval Battle of Salamis, the Athenians placed an entire captured enemy trireme (battleship) at Sounion as a trophy dedicated to Poseidon.
Athenian statesman Pericles who also rebuilt the Parthenon in Athens built the Temple of Poseidon. The Athenians built it on the ruins of a temple dating from the Archaic period. The design of the peripteros temple is a typical hexastyle. The Temple had a front portico with six Doric columns. Originally it had 38 columns however only 16 are still standing today. The Temple closely resembles the well-preserved Temple of Hephaestus beneath the Acropolis.
Sunset at Cape Sounion
You can choose an Evening guided Temple of Poseidon private Tour from Athens to watch the sunset. As a result, you will be mesmerized by the blues, reds, and oranges that engulf the temple.
The temple of Poseidon, the ancient Greek god of the sea, dominates the southernmost tip of Attica, where the horizon meets the Aegean Sea. Perched on the craggy rocks of Cape Sounio, the temple is enveloped in myth and historic facts dated from antiquity until the present times.
Sunset Temple Of Poseidon – Between myth and history
There are stories about the ship of King Menelaus who stopped briefly at Sounio on his way back from Troy; or about the unfortunate King Aegeus who drowned himself on that spot and the Aegean Sea got named after him; or about the people who built a temple using local marble to honor the god of the sea and safeguard the profits from the neighboring Lavrio mines.
Majestic Cape Sounion
View from the Temple
Majestic Cape Sounion, a strategic point rising above the Aegean sea about 70 kilometers away from Athens in the southern region of Attica, was known by Ancient Greeks as the "Sacred Cape." On top of this 60-meter cliff stands one of the most important sanctuaries in the region: the temple dedicated to Poseidon, God of the Sea.
Built between 444 and 440 BC, the temple was constructed of marble from the valley of Agrilesa, about four kilometers north of the Sounion. The architect is thought to be Ictinus, who built the Temple of Hephaestus in the Ancient Agora in Athens. He built the 16 columns at the Temple of Poseidon in a way that ensured they would stand the test of time and resist the harshness of the environment. Also, made the Doric columns more slender at the top so they would look taller.
History and Legends
Temple of Poseidon Legends and Myths
One of the most known legends that the Temple is known of is the one about king Aegeus. At this spot, the Athenian King killed himself by jumping off the cliff. He was expecting his son Theseus from Crete, saw the black sails on the ship, and mistakenly thought Theseus had been killed by the Minotaur. The Minotaur was a Mythical creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man. In fact, young Theseus was victorious but had forgotten to replace the black sails on his ship with white ones upon returning, which ultimately led to his father's death. And so, in commemoration, Aegeus' name was given to the Aegean Sea.
The remnants of the temple's marble sculptures are now displayed at the National Archaeological Museum and the Mineralogical Museum of Lavrio. Also, one column on display at the British Museum in England. British Romantic poet Lord Byron carved his name at the base of one of the remaining columns. This occurred during a visit in 1810 when he was touring Europe before rising to fame.

Asbury sells out
Published 10:47 am Thursday, October 17, 2019
Record number of police horses bought before annual event
By Fiona Morgan
For The Jessamine Journal
As Asbury University's equine department continues to grow, more police departments are requesting to buy horses from its Service Mounts program which recently sold a record number of horses at the National Mounted Police Colloquium.
In fact, Asbury had placed or sold all nine horses before the colloquium even started. Held Sept. 23 to 27, Asbury sold nine horses to police departments all over North America.
The Service Mounts program at Asbury is the only student-led police horse training program in the country. Wilmore Mayor and director of equine studies Harold Rainwater runs the program where students take horses through roughly three years of training before selling them.
Held at the Kentucky Horse Park, the annual colloquium attracts 100 police officers from roughly 30 departments across North America, from Vancouver, Canada, to Albuquerque, New Mexico. The event serves as continuing education for officers and their horses and allows Asbury and other farms to showcase their horses.
Asbury's equine department also held an open house Sept. 26 for police departments to look at the horses for sale. However, when told about the open house, some departments decided to come before the colloquium started to get first pick on the horses. The horses will go to their respective departments (which include Atlanta, Detroit and Vancouver) after they've completed training in early May 2020.
The horses sell for $10,000 each, and the money goes to cover costs for Asbury's equine department.
Rainwater began the Service Mounts program in 2001 when the equine department was just starting out. "We were looking for something that students could do that you could sort of measure the success of training and working a horse," Rainwater said.
Rainwater also said the program picked up significantly in the past five years and now employs internationally-known trainer Jesse Westfall. Westfall lives in Ohio and teaches training courses at Asbury on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Roughly 40 out of the 100 students in the equine major are part of the Service Mounts program.
Student leader of the program, senior and equine major Clara Quade has trained a horse named Killian for two years. He was sold to the Vancouver department just before the colloquium.
"[Killian] came in as this little 6-month-old, did not trust people, did not trust me [and] had a bit of an attitude," Quade said.
The first year of training includes mainly desensitization work. "We get them used to weird and crazy sights and smells and sounds, so that when they go out on the streets they'll be able to handle whatever comes their way," Quade said.

(Interactive Voice Response) A telephone switchboard that recognizes the spoken word. An IVR is an automated attendant plus voice recognition. Callers may have the option of responding by pressing the keypad or by speaking words or short phrases. Applications include tech support, bank-by-phone and flight-scheduling. See automated attendant.
Even automated attendants without voice response (press 1 for sales, etc.) can be frustrating when the menus are too brief or confusing. However, when voice is added to the mix, it can be downright aggravating. Some of the most widely used IVRs have been unable to recognize simple "yes" or "no" answers for every user, even when speaking clearly. Worse yet is when a caller asks something the system is not pre-programmed to recognize. Gone are the days when a human switchboard operator was expected to answer the phone.

TEMPE, Ariz.—There are classrooms. A career center. A cafeteria. A statue of the founder. Portraits of the presidents. Historical artifacts. Even a trophy case.
This sun-scorched place, on a Tuesday afternoon, has a lot of things that make it look like any college campus. But one is curiously absent: students.
That's because most of the people enrolled here at the main branch of the University of Phoenix, in a nondescript office park beside Interstate 10, come at night. Mostly older than the 18- to 22-year-olds who go to public and nonprofit colleges, half work full-time and a third are juggling their educations with raising their own kids, all in the hope of earning credentials that will get them new or better jobs.
It's these students—not fresh-faced high school graduates—who comprise the fastest-growing group of people entering American higher education. And after deep enrollment and revenue declines and even bankruptcies driven by economic changes and terrible publicity about students taking out huge loans and never graduating, they're the best hope once-high-flying providers like the University of Phoenix have to rise again.
The comeback of the for-profit universities doesn't end with finding a market. Those that have survived are busily devising strategies to rebuild enrollment that has crashed by 26% collectively since its peak in 2009—more than twice that at the University of Phoenix. They are also seeking out new sources of revenue, rather than continuing to rely almost entirely on federally subsidized student financial aid and inviting relentless scrutiny.
And, while they're at it, to overcome public mistrust, says University of Phoenix President Tim Slottow, who works upstairs in that office building on I-10.
"I'm not naïve enough to tell you we're over the hardest part," says Slottow, a former chief financial officer at the University of Michigan.
University of Phoenix parent Apollo Education Group announced in January that it had agreed to be acquired by a group of investors for $1.1 billion—slightly more than a tenth of what it was once worth—and go private. The deal will be finalized by August, if approved by regulators and shareholders.
Like other for-profits, the university will shutter some locations to focus on markets with the most demand and least competition, shrinking from 91 campuses and learning centers nationwide to 67 in 16 states and the District of Columbia.
Also like some of its for-profit counterparts, it will for the first time test incoming students before they are allowed to start, rooting out the ones who might not be ready, instead of taking anyone who has a high school diploma, as has previously been the case. Those in need of further help, Slottow says, will be steered toward orientation programs.
It's also about addressing two things students want to know before they sign up for a higher education, says Steve Gunderson, president of the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, or APSCU, which represents the for-profits in Washington: how much it will cost and whether they will get a better job at the end.
Among the other changes for-profits are widely adopting: focusing on shorter, "career-relevant" certificate and two-year associate's degree programs, and speeding them up, since the longer it takes students to finish, the less likely they ever will.
As for that question of how much it will cost, for-profits have been quietly cutting their prices, which are down 2.4% since 2012, while tuition and fees at community colleges and public universities are up 4% and at nonprofits nearly 3%.
A plain-spoken former Republican congressman, Gunderson said in a report to his members last month that they grew too fast when the economic downturn drove people to sign up by the tens of thousands to get credentials that would translate into jobs—and the for-profit colleges, focused on shareholder profits, took all comers. Many of these students dropped out, often with loan debt to repay but no degree to show for it. The schools also strayed into offering bachelor's and graduate degrees, which were not their strength.
"This sector grew too much, too fast, and we are paying a price," says Gunderson, whose association has seen its own membership and budget shrink.
Private, for-profit universities and colleges, Gunderson points out, specialize in training workers for the jobs for which demand is projected to increase, such as medical assistants, licensed practical nurses, and computer support technicians.
By 2022, he says, there will be 10.1 million students 25 and older enrolled in higher education—mostly to improve their career prospects.
Yet most public and nonprofit universities do little to serve this group, except for community colleges, which are being thinly stretched and pushed in many states to become feeder schools for four-year, bachelor's degree-granting institutions. That leaves the field largely open for the for-profit providers.
So great is this opportunity that APSCU began at the end of last year to highlight occupations in which there are potential shortages, and for which its members offer training. It's called Shortage of Skills, or SOS. And it may, in fact, help rescue the private, for-profit higher education industry.
"That is actually the money spot for the for-profits," says Derrick Mason Anderson, across Tempe on the campus of Arizona State University, where he is a professor of public affairs specializing in higher education management.
For all their widely publicized shortcomings, for-profits turn out to be better than community colleges at graduating students from two-year programs. Nearly two-thirds finish within six years, according to the National Student Clearinghouse, compared to 38% at community colleges. On the other hand, fewer than a third in four-year programs finish within six years—half the rate at public and nonprofit institutions.
For-profit schools are also seeking out new sources of income, since relying as heavily as they do on federal grants and loans has invited harsh scrutiny from regulators and critics. So far, that strategy has largely meant offering employee training under contract to employers.
Strayer University, for example, develops customized training for employees, and it's teamed up with Fiat Chrysler to provide education services for car dealers and their families. The University of Phoenix has created a course in information storage management for EMC. DeVry has partnerships with Rite Aid, Lyft, McDonald's, and Walmart. Capella Education Company is about to launch a collaboration with the CareerBuilder job-search website, providing 90-day courses in skills employers say they need; when a graduate gets hired, Capella will receive a portion of the placement fee.
This, say insiders and observers, is another opportunity for the for-profits to rebound at a time when businesses complain that workers need more and better skills. Employers spend, $164.2 billion a year on professional development, or more than $1,200 per employee, according to the Association for Talent Development, a third of it by contracting with outside companies and 11% through tuition reimbursement.
That's a fitting elegy for private, for-profit higher education in America.
Many of the biggest operators in the business have closed. Corinthian Colleges, parent of Everest and other schools, declared bankruptcy last year. Career Education Corporation will close its 14 Sanford-Brown campuses and its chain of 16 Le Cordon Bleu culinary schools by the end of this year. Westwood College has stopped accepting new students. Education Management is shutting down 15 of its Art Institute locations.
Instead of taking action earlier, says Kevin Kinser, a professor of education at the University at Albany and author of The Global Growth of Higher Education, the for-profits seemed to be waiting for court rulings or a more lenient presidential administration to relieve the pressure on them.
More trouble could lie ahead. A Senate bill would ban colleges and universities from using federal student grant and loan money for marketing—a shot directly at the for-profits, which a Senate investigation found got 86% of their revenue from that taxpayer-subsidized government aid and spent a quarter of it on advertising and recruiting. Another bill could reduce the for-profits' hefty share of G.I. Bill benefits.
But the biggest blow could come this spring, when the U.S. Department of Education is scheduled to publish the prospective earnings payoffs of degrees, compared with what they cost to get. This is the first stage of what's called the gainful employment rule, which the industry sued for years to block. It will measure whether students' investment in tuition is actually worth the money. APSCU predicts that as many as 14% of for-profit programs could fail the test, meaning students would no longer receive federal financial aid to pay for them.
There's also a proposal for "borrower defense regulations" under which colleges may be required to maintain reserves of money from which student loan recipients could be reimbursed if the schools close. Such warning signs as high dropout rates would trigger cuts in eligibility for federal funding. The for-profit colleges' negotiator has opposed this, saying it would put them in financial distress.
Many have already taken huge hits to their bottom lines. Education Management had to pay $96 million in November, for example, to settle federal and state lawsuits over its recruitment practices. Share values have tumbled. Annual revenues have collectively fallen by $2.3 billion since 2010, according to APSCU. Apollo Education Group lost more than $57 million in its most recent quarter, compared to income of more than $36 million for the same quarter last year, corporate documents show.
"We grew up and now we're growing down," says Slottow, using his hands to imagine a bar graph in the air.

The next language artist who enters the Green Room is Catherine Christaki!
I am really glad Catherine accepted to take part in my blog series as she is one of the colleagues that I really admire. Most of you already know that Catherine is the co-owner of Lingua Greca Translations. She has been a full-time English-Greek translator since 2001 and co-owner of Lingua Greca Translations since 2012. Her working languages are English, French, German (source) and Greek (target) and her specialisations include IT, Medical and Technical texts.
I am sure you also know that Catherine is an amazing blogger. Lingua Greca's blog is a powerful, vibrant blog that is definitely worth bookmarking! You will be impressed by the blog's set up, categorisation and diversity in topics. But I don't want to keep you waiting any longer, ladies and gentlemen, Catherine Christaki!
- Catherine Christaki, welcome to the Green Room!
- Thank you so much for having me Anastasia and congratulations on your blog too, it's nice to see a fellow Greek translator be active in the translation blogosphere!
1. At what point in your life did you decide that you wanted to be a translator?
I'm one of the lucky ones! I discovered what I want to do in my life at a very young age. I started learning English at the age of 6 and then went on to learn German, French, Italian and Spanish. When people asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said "I want to be a translator in the European Parliament!". A few years later, I decided it would be nicer to be my own boss, i.e. a freelancer, and here we are today! I find languages fascinating and translation is much more complex and interesting than I had imagined. Every single day is a new adventure!
2. You run a fantastic blog! I am really impressed by all the work that you've done. You deal with so many complex topics and yet you maintain everything perfectly simple. Would you like to share some tips on how to improve blogging experience and run a successful blog like yours?
Thank you for your kind words, I'm very glad you like our blog! When we started I thought it would be just a nice medium to express ourselves, write about our daily lives, the challenges, the good times, like a diary. But then, it turns out it can be so much more. At the moment, I think the main purpose of our blog is to connect with interesting people and colleagues, that's why I'm such a big fan of guest posts. I also use our blog as a scrapbook with our Weekly Favorites. It's like having my very own library of brilliant articles on the subjects I love!
Blogging needs dedication and it needs time. But the best thing is that your business blog can be whatever you want it to be. There are no set rules (apart from the basics of course, like focus on professional topics, don't write about your dating experiences). Regular posts can mean 1-2 a week or 1-2 a month. There are so many different things you can write about. Daily experiences, events you attended (translation-related or not), you can host interviews (which are a great opportunity to connect with other bloggers or translators you look up to and pick their brains). I'm not even going to mention SEO and Google ranking and writing content that appeals to your clients, which are also significant advantages of blogging.
A blog doesn't have to be as complex as a website. It's very simple to create a free blog, add a few plugins (like social sharing buttons and your RSS feed so people can subscribe to it) and start writing! Experts advise us to have a blogging strategy before we even start a blog, but that sounds complicated and stressful to me. Just think how much time you'd like to spend on it (i.e. how often you want to publish articles), write a few posts (5-10 at least) before you launch the blog so you are covered for the first few months and you'll figure out the blog's tone, purpose and your audience along the way.
I almost forgot the most important thing! Spend a few months reading other blogs and see how other bloggers do it. There are great blogs in the translation community and I read a lot of them every week, check out our Blogroll.
3. You recently moved to Toronto, Canada. How come you chose to leave Greece and move to a country so far away? Do you think that this choice will help your business grow?
This will be a very long article if I list all the reasons that made us leave gorgeous Greece. One of the main things that made us unhappy in Greece was that we felt our taxes were wasted. Especially after the crisis, the taxes have been sky-high. But the services offered by the Greek government were as bad as ever.
The Greeks' mentality of tax-evasion was another thing that bothered us. I used Proz to find a Greek-English translator a few years ago. The first 10 people I contacted were not even registered with the tax office! They said they were professionals, that they've been offering translation services for the past X years, to clients in Greece and abroad, but they had never declared a single eurocent! We didn't like feeling like idiots just because we declared our income, paid our taxes and also paid our bills in time.
Work wasn't on top of the list of factors that made us come here but I do think our move will have a positive effect on our business. First of all, the direct client market is completely different than in Greece, in a great way. I don't need to explain why, right? Your Greek readers and readers from any country in the world will understand the reasons why that's true. Secondly, the amount of (free) networking events, expos and conferences here is truly amazing! They value and support entrepreneurs every way they can. Thirdly, we feel like we are in the middle of the planet here in terms of travel. From Greece, coming to the annual ATA conference was an (pricey) adventure involving interminable hours of flying.
4. I know that apart from our passion for languages we also share a passion for... paws! How do your two four-pawed "miaow" boys feel about you travelling so often without them?
Well, I can't say they like it but they are kind of used it by now. When we were in Greece, we tried to limit our trips in Greece or in Europe to 3-4 days because that's the maximum they would stay on their own without the need for someone to check up on them. For longer trips, my in-laws used to come to Athens and check up on our boy cats once a day. There are services that can help with that here, i.e. they come for 20 minutes every day, feed the cats and change their litter, play with them a bit and then they send you a report! "The cat hid under the couch when I first came into the condo, then ate all his food, then we played a bit with the pink toy gorilla, I told him a story and left 20 minutes later". Hehehehe. It's brilliant to have so many different options here!
By the way, we are back to working from home (we had an office the last 2,5 years in Greece) and our cats love it! There's playing and hugs and kisses and food all day long, instead of once in the morning and then goodbye till 9pm.
5. What are your future translation-related plans?
You can follow Lingua Greca on Twitter and on Facebook! And don't forget to bookmark Catherine's blog. You will definitely need it!


Clean Well Sanitizing Spray: Totally safe non-toxic hand sanitizer without Triclosan. An all day essential I constantly reach for, living in NYC, riding the subways, this is always within reach.
Bobby Brown Pot Rouge for lips and Cheeks: A girl who is attempting to go green can still cling onto her favorites. This is the perfect just perfect bright but not too bright hybrid between a pink a red. Perfect for fall, and it comes with a mini mirror inside making the inevitable touch up so easy and one handed.
Miessence Breath Fresh Spray: A cross between Binaca, an Altoid and some chai tea, this all natural and safe breath spray is so important with all of the coffee I drink. It has a weird soapy effect that I can't quite explain, but its still refreshing so I keep reaching for it.
Homeoplasmine: Its French so it has to be the most amazing luxurious thing ever, amiright? Described as a homeopathic remedy, its a "pomade intended for skin irritations and contains extracts of plants and an antiseptic. It is intended to alleviate the irritation of the nasal mucosa associated with colds and rhinitis – scratches, grazes, bruises and cracks of the skin." I simply use it as lip balm, cuticle moisturizer and hand cream on days my hands are super dry. Its pretty matte on the lips, fixes broken cuticles super quick and moisturizes your hands without a residue. A bag staple that replaces so much, leaving space for the inevitable 17 lip products I am going to carry anyway.


Hello my lovelies! I've always wanted to use that! Anyway, some of you might know that I am currently without internet in my house, so it's hard for me to blog as much as I would like. So I've decided to do a catch-up post while I can.
I know the titles are hard to see so here's what you're looking at: Emperor Dad, Lighter Than Air, Roswell or Bust, Extreme Makeover, Falling BAKward, Golden Girl, Pixie Dust, and his newest release, Follow That Mouse. They're all sci-fi kind of books (which is a little out of my norm) but they look really good and I can't wait to get into one! If you're interested in any of these, feel free to contact me.
Next, I was also contacted by Erin McCahan, author of I Now Pronounce You Someone Else. She sent me a copy of her book and guess what? She'll be stopping by my blog on October 12th during her blog tour! That's one month from today so be sure to come back and check it out!
Last but definitely not least, I went to Borders yesterday and picked up three very amazing books! Clockwork Angel, The Eternal Ones and Halo. Now seriously, I don't think I should have to mention the authors of these books. You really ought to know them by now! If not, just click the links I've so graciously provided. I can't tell you how happy I am to finally have these books on my shelves! How will I ever decide which one to read first? Pfft! Who am I kidding? Clockwork Angel is first!


Christ, cricket and the Times crossword. These are some of my father's chief loves in life, and he has passed them on to me. Not that it stops there: he has a love for all sorts of sports and, perhaps more importantly, a passion for sportsmanship; he has a love of nature, in particular birds; and he has a heart for seeing the best in other people. He rarely has a bad word to say about anybody. What a gift, and a challenge, to always look for and find the good in others.
My father's work has always been difficult to explain to people. It was, and still is, particularly hard to evaluate in a world that judges by results. If my father has had a single ministry it would be this: taking time to care for other people. He is good at dropping in on people at the right moment; he always has a word of encouragement, usually very opportune; however tired he may be feeling, he always greets visitors and answers the phone as if greeting a long lost friend. All over the world – and this is no exaggeration – there are people who receive letters from him regularly, and will testify to, and are grateful for, his faithful friendship. He is a great letter-writer. He has made a contribution to the lives of countless people in ways that cannot be quantified.
Growing up he had two dreams – the dreams of many a young English boy! – to play rugby and cricket for England . By the age of 24 he had nine caps for England at rugby. He had scored tries at Twickenham and 100's at Lord's. He had been offered the chance to open the batting for Middlesex, and he would have been in the running for the 1955 Lions tour. But he then gave it all up because he felt that God was calling him to do something different with his life. God has used him in unexpected ways, in all sorts of strange places, and he has never regretted his decision.


"He's an excellent actor and has that quiet dignity with the unshakable moral core that really IS the character."
Street Fighter is among us!!
I just got back from seeing it. I have thoughts.
Neal, I love you forever.
It's really not a spoiler that I know of. If you disagree, I'm happy to put it behind a cut.
There WILL be spoilers in the comments. You have been warned.
Guile really gets his revenge on for NASH?! That was something I knew the first movie had altered to streamline the characters, but the thought of Guile wasting his vengeance fury on that schmuck makes me want to cry.
Swedish chick? I haven't kept up with the video game series. The only girls I knew were Chun-Li and Cammie (British).
The first Street Fighter I adored for it's campy charm, and Raul was having so much fun unleashing his inner megalomaniac. Eventually I grew to admire it's scriptwriters for being able to pull together an ensemble cast that large without losing most of the characters. Mortal Kombat II tried and epic!failed. (When Christopher Lambert won't be in your sequel, there are issues.) But if there was fan fury over the first not being true to the games, it ought to look Oscar worthy in comparison.
It's movies like this that A) make me write fanfiction and B) make me wish that Hollywood would do casting calls on script ideas to the various fandoms. Seriously, you'd get a lot of crap in the submissions but that's why you hire interns. Writers who understand the characters, universe, can give it whatever unique spin got the producer and studio interested, and can write scripts would surface if they would give it a try.
Because I do. A LOT.
I still want to see the original, for I love Raul Julia.
My copy of the first Street Fighter came out of the cheap DVD bins at Wal-Mart a few years back, so it is available on DVD. I just don't know how easy it would be to score one now. If copying DVDs was available to me, I'd send you one but alas, I have no DVD burner.
Was Rose speaking Swedish? That was the only language I didn't peg. Gen is Shoalin. I heard translating-the-scroll Chinese lady say "Shoalin" when talking about the Order of the Web. And yes, I did have a crush on Peter Caine many moons ago.
I've only really played the old Street Fighter 2 and the brand new Street Fighter 4, but yeah, Guile's always trying to get revenge on Bison for killing his war buddy Nash.
And Rose is a game character and actually does have the good part of Bison's soul, but she has purple hair, isn't actually his daughter, and hails from Italy.


As I've been trying to emphasize in the past few years, throwing all that out doesn't have to mean throwing out the 'brilliant setting' part. The trick is separate 'setting' from 'imposed plot,' which gets even trickier when you want the setting to be undergoing brilliant changes throughout play. I've written a hell of a lot about this in Setting and emergent stories (http://adept-press.com/wordpress/wp-content/media/setting_dissection.pdf) and in threads like [Obsidian, Champs, Babylon Project] Incipient Narrativism and its discontents (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forge/index.php?topic=32336.0), but typically in those threads, I was talking about canonical/published settings.
Thinking of other seminal moments of pseudo-myth fantasy adventure in that era, I hunted this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAo2QAp8kIY) down. It's from 1977, so would just barely pre-date the Trampier art (which again, doesn't show the feet) and first Grenadier miniature (http://thumbs2.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/m-13HXXODbDf-f5C-wgHuhw.jpg) (whom someone painted mauve for some reason). And wouldn't you know it, the movie's minotaur has fully-human post-cranial physique. Not a bad animation job on him either, better than I remembered for those films.
On another note, some gaming-oriented minotaur miniatures from Germany do have people-feet, as seen in this guy's collection (http://www.silverblades-suitcase.com/minis/minotaurs.htm).
D'Aulaires (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kzuuVuG-H38/TjVj8ARWMyI/AAAAAAAAFmU/gP12pWgvvYo/s1600/Greek+Myths40.jpg) of course gets it right.
Dragonlance had a whole nation of minotaurs (two, I suppose, if you count the long-forgotten Time of the Dragon (http://muleabides.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/time-of-the-dragon/) boxed set) and a prominent minotaur in its endless novel line (http://www.gamebooks.org/gallery/dlance/heroes2-1.jpg) (this was not a good book to a 14 year old who loved minotaurs, so...), but all of the illustrations gave them regular person-feet.
"Man's head and torso on a bull's body (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Minotaurus.gif)" is apparently an interpretation that popped up during the Middle Ages, as Ovid only refers to a "twin-born form of a bull." (Metamorphoses VIII, 169) And William Blake, as might be expected, does something completely unusual (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blake_Dante_Hell_XII.jpg) when illustrating Dante's Inferno.
Dragonlance minotaurs (https://www.edu.physics.uoc.gr/~lookas/pictures/lance50.jpg) were a special case. In that setting, they are actually descended from high ogres, their form changed by their bull-god long ago. They are not descended in any way from cattle, to the point of taking great umbrage to cow jokes.

What's Aquamacs?
LaTeX Editing
Support (FAQ, Wiki)
"It is also much better integrated into OS X. Really nice!"
Mats Sjöberg, Finland
"Tried it and my head exploded"
Ed Heil, Kentwood, Michigan
Aquamacs is a user-friendly build of the powerful Emacs text editor. Aquamacs integrates with the Mac and offers the same comforts that any application on the Mac provides. Yet, it comes with all the ergonomy and extensibility you've come to expect from GNU Emacs. It's beeen adapted by David Reitter, based on GNU Emacs by Richard Stallman and many others.
Aquamacs has been available for about a decade and is used daily by thousands of academics, programmers, and authors. It is backed by two strong communities: Aquamacs users, and Emacs enthusiasts on all computing platforms (GNU/Linux/Unix, Windows, Mac).
What's Emacs? Emacsis a text editor of legendary power and configurability, but it also has an enormously complex user interface. One advantage of it is: no matter what operating system you run Emacs on, you'll always get the same interface. The big challenge: if you use a number of applications on your Mac, one of them is Emacs, you'll have to switch gears when you switch to Emacs.
Aquamacs is better. We support the standard Mac user interface that you've come to love. For instance, in addition to traditional Emacs shortcuts like C-x C-f (open a new file), Aquamacs understands Command-O. Aquamacs behaves like a modern application on Mac (or Windows) when it comes to selecting, copying, pasting texts within Aquamacs or in between applications. Aquamacs offers nice, smooth fonts. Asian input methods work. It's easy to install and runs out-of-the box with no configuration. And all is built on GNU Emacs, so you can use your favorite Emacs packages! Check the Features section if you want to know more.
Who made it? Aquamacs has been adapted from GNU Emacs by David Reitter, aided by enthusiastic users and Emacs experts. Collaborator Nathaniel Cunningham has contributed features such as native spell-checking and window tabs. Project co-founder Kevin Walzer has contributed easy-to-understand manuals. There is a long list of contributors, including those who wrote included packages and, of course, Emacs. GNU Emacs has a long history that began some fourty years ago, primarily driven by the efforts of GNU founder Richard M. Stallman. GNU Emacs has first been ported to the Mac by Andrew Choi; the Cocoa port was written by Adrian Robert and colleagues; much Mac development of Emacs was done by Yamamoto Mitsuharu.

Grock's Last Gasp
By Margo Howard
Click here for Margo Howard's Week One coverage of the Clark Rockefeller case.
Click here for her coverage of the first two days of Week Two.
And click here for the last two days of Week Two.
Week Three, Day One
Closing arguments today, and in State Superior Court each side is only permitted 40 minutes. Unlike Federal Court, there is no chance of a three or four hour summation, or worse.
Grock's lead lawyer, Jeffrey Denner, reminded the jury that it was the Commonwealth's job "to prove sanity, or disprove insanity." He added that "most people are sane in this country." (I would quibble with that.) Then he did a riff on reasonable doubt. No Atticus Finch here.
Next came Bradl, the lawyer who's in the second seat. He said the Commonwealth's case failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the false name charge. "Look at the time of the arrest. Was he using the name in good faith? He was known as Clark Rockefeller during the marriage; the amber alerts were for Clark Rockefeller. The cops said, when they found him, 'Hey, Clark.' At booking, suddenly it's a crime to be Clark Rockefeller?" He then said he'd had that name for "several decades." Well, at least for 15 years.
Then counsel took a leap off a cliff by suggesting Yaffe, the court monitor knocked down by the SUV, "was embarrassed" (presumably by his ineptitude?), so he made his injury seem more serious. "He forgot he was assaulted." I have no idea where that came from, because he was taken to a hospital with cuts and bruises and, he claimed, a slight concussion. Bradl called Yaffe's "an inconsistent statement" and stated that he was "unreliable." (Remember his calling 411 first, instead of 911? One might be rattled under the circumstances, seeing as how he could've wound up under the car.) "As for the charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, Yaffe chose to run along with the car." This harkened back to a previous day when the defense pointed out that Yaffe assaulted the vehicle.
The closing returned to Denner. He puffed up his experts, Drs. Ablow and Howe, who were "highly trained." He played his forensic card. "Howe devotes 100 percent of her time to testing and being an expert witness. Ablow spends a good deal of time on forensic psychiatry." (Though much of it is on television and the radio.)
Then he took almost all of the remaining time trying to paint Dr. Chu as "absolutely unqualified. His testimony should be rejected completely. He has an absolute lack of training." (Just 33 years.) "Dr. Chu has never been in a jail setting." (How different, I am wondering, can it be from a locked ward?) "He could not recite the Massachusetts statute on insanity. Outrageous." (I thought that was like asking if I could recite the small print on my driver's license.) "This man had no idea what he was doing. … A different expert might have agreed with the defense!" (Uh, then he wouldn't have been an expert for the prosecution.) "Just looking at Rockefeller, you know something is wrong with him. He changes identities. He's not playing with a whole deck. He doesn't pay rent; he stays with people and in guesthouses." (This sounded pretty crafty to me, actually, and didn't seem at all insane.)
Denner continued. "He took the name Rockefeller and it's working for him--for example, his marriage to Boss. His grandiosity explodes. There is deep mental illness; he is intermittently delusional. 'Woofness' is madness, irrational. He had a psychotic break! He was pushed over the edge. Delusional! He'd lost his wife and children." (In his excitement he gave Snooks a sibling.)
"He believed he had to rescue his daughter. He was clearly insane."
There was a short recess. A longtime television reporter of trials said in the hall, "Openings and closings are not Denner's forte."
We all filed back to the courtroom for Deakin's summation. He is everybody's favorite in the building--probably because he's good. His headline point was that, "Rules are for everybody else … but not for Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter. Not the immigration laws; not any laws. He is a controlling and manipulating man, and Sandra Boss finally took that control away."
Other snippets from his peroration …
On Grock's mental health: "Of course he's not a perfectly psychologically healthy guy, but two tests showed no elevation of mental health issues. There is no doubt that he suffers form a personality disorder, but it did not compromise his ability to know right from wrong."
On the problem of calling himself Clark Rockefeller: "He wasn't trying to fool the police with who he was. Recall the instructions about using false name for dishonest purposes. He could be deported if he coughed up Gerhartsreiter. That was his name for the green card marriage. In either situation, his comfortable life in this country would come to an end."
On truthiness: "Why would he lie about being 'Chip Smith?' Why lie to the driver and to Ang about New York? Why would he turn off her cell phone? Why would he tell her she couldn't stop to use the bathroom? Why turn money into untraceable American currency? He understood what he was doing was wrong."
On his devotion to Snooks: "The defendant told Ablow he thought Reigh was in danger, and that was the reason he took her. If he believed that, why didn't he say so in probate court instead of taking the monetary settlement? If he had a truly deluded belief, why did he not tell Ang and the driver, 'I have no recourse. She's going to die'? He didn't do that because he knew society would not regard that as reasonable."
And the kicker: "This is not a case about insanity. This a case about a man who lost his family and got $800,000. This is not madness. This is manipulation. He didn't care how it affected his daughter--or her mother. Don't let him get away with that," he said, pointing at the defendant."
Then the judge gave instructions to the jury and spoke of constitutional principles: The defendant started with a clean slate. There is the presumption of innocence. An arrest and an indictment are not evidence. The defendant is entitled to the benefit of the doubt.
Before shuttling the jury off to deliberate, Judge Gaziano cautioned them about what to do with the evidence: "Bring to bear your common sense and experience." Oy, most of the jurors are too young to have what you'd call experience, so let us hope for common sense.

From tournaments across Asia and Africa to the more renowned European and US PGA tours, golf's global reach sees thousands of professionals playing year-round and worldwide.
That's good news for punters, with a huge array of betting options available to help them pick plenty of value selections.
However, how do you know who to bet on in golf?
Well, let's take a look at our best golf betting tips below.
Golf fans and punters have never been more knowledgeable when it comes player and course performance metrics.
That's thanks to the mass of detailed and revolutionary statistics.
The PGA Tour website is by far the most advanced platform to source crucial clues when it comes to figuring out the most relevant stats for a particular course and tournament.
The strokes-gained concept has taken off and provides vital insights into statistics that affect the quality of each golfer's performance.
Then there are the more traditional numbers on driving length, accuracy off the tee and greens in regulation (GIR), which looks at how many greens a player hits that they're expected to hit – for example landing on the green in 2 shots on a par 4.
Unsurprisingly, the players that top these statistics are regularly collecting a winner's cheque.
It's also vital to do your homework on the course being played at any given tournament and determine which stats are most relevant.
If a course punishes players who stray off the tee, as was the case at the recent US Open where eventual winner Dustin Johnson produced a driving master class, lean towards those who top the driving accuracy department.
Putting is often a key benchmark, so use the strokes-gained putting statistic at venues where there is a premium on performing well on the greens.
With the glut of stat-driven details on offer, there are no excuses for not sifting through the numbers and marrying them to the type of test at hand.
With big prices on offer, the main golf betting option is the overall winner market.
Betting is not simply about picking a winner. It's about picking a winner at the right price. If you don't get odds that provide value, you won't be a long-term winner.
There can be value found leading into each event, with top-10 ranked players regularly starting from 20/1 and above for outright victory.
This is a huge price given these are multiple winners on the PGA Tour and often compete at the business end of majors.
Granted, choosing a winner from large field is not as easy as correctly tipping the outcome of a football match, but it is always worth studying current form and a particular player's history at a given course to shortlist the potential victors as the payouts are greater.
Do rookies perform well at the course?
Is there are tendency for the tournament to produce surprise winners, or do favourites generally salute?
How have the favourites fared there and what has their recent form been like?
Get the answers to these questions to help you find out which players to short list, and who to avoid.
There is more on offer than just the overall winner wager.
Golf tournaments are four-day events, and many of us like to see quicker returns, not to mention safer and smarter strategies than trying to pluck a winner from a field of over a hundred.
Here, the bookmaker pits two (2-ball) or three (3-ball) golfers together against each other, offering a price for each player to be the lowest scorer over 18 holes.
The bookmakers will often pit the higher-ranked golfers against each other, making it harder to correctly pick a winner.
If top-ranked stars are teeing off alongside one another, good luck determining which of the three will shoot the lowest score on the day.
The opportunities for profits usually lay at the other end of the spectrum; amongst the lower ranked players.
Recent form is vital when making any golf bet, but never more so than in this category.
If a player is in the middle of a slump and has been missing cuts, bet against them.
If you're lucky, you'll spot an in-form player playing alongside one or two golfers who have struggled recently; that's your time to pounce.
Match play tournaments, whereby players play against each other in a knockout format, open further doors to profitable golf betting.
Educating yourself on a given player's win-loss record, which can be done easily through a Google search such as "Jason Day match play record", will give you a clear idea of their chances in a head-to-head match.
Familiarising yourself with strong match play performers will increase your chances of finding value in events like the Ryder Cup.
There is also often the betting entry listed as "The Field", which includes all the golfers that are taking part in the tournament but are not listed by the bookmaker.
This is because each individual golfers odds are too high to be offered.
Tempting as it may seem to have the opportunity to back more than one golfer through a single bet, be wary of this bet as the field generally consists of lower-ranked players with only a small chance of winning.
There will always be opportunities for players in 'the field' to take their chance, and this is often when poor weather levels the playing field somewhat, so keep an eye out.
Many tournaments, particularly the four majors, offer other side bets that present additional opportunities.
Examples include a bet on the winner's total score, whether there will be a hole-in-one during the tournament and hypothetical head-to-heads between players not playing alongside one another.
Again, research is the key with all of these.
Research would tell you that odds on the 'hole in one' selections, and other similar 'for fun' bets, will almost always be absolutely terrible and offer no value. Avoid these.
Review past editions of the tournament to get a sense of what type of scores winners posted in years gone by. Review recent form for the hypothetical head-to-head market.
The more homework you do, the more you'll know whether a bet seems to be a profitable one or not.
A golf field starts to take shape in the first two rounds, with a new favourite often emerging from the pack at the halfway point.
This is where the opportunity to exploit some value in the winner's market presents itself, particularly during the rounds themselves. However, don't just start placing random in-play bets on those amongst the leaders.
Analyse the course and familiarise yourself with the scoring average of each hole.
You can normally find these statistics by Googling the course or tournament name along with "hole statistics".
If the golfers you fancy as favourites are headed into a difficult stretch, it may be valuable to hold off betting on them until they come out of it, hopefully unscathed. Conversely, if your picks are approaching a stretch with good scoring opportunities, such as those with par 5s that are reachable in two shots, it's time to place your bets.
This is a strategy that could be employed when trying to trade golf odds as well as regular betting.
Watching the action is also vital, particularly at the business end of tournaments when leaders feel the pressure to close out the win and can often relinquish their advantage.
If a player has strayed off the tee and faces an uphill battle to avoid bogey, it is a great opportunity to bet against them in the overall winner market as long as the odds are favourable.
The length of golf tournaments also plays into the in-play trader's favour, leaving plenty of time to adjust position.
A fast start isn't always a sign that the leader will run away with a tournament, with start-to-finish victories few and far between.
Look out for in-form, consistent golfers who lurk around the top 10 leading into the final rounds, as these are the players often among the contenders over the closing holes of each tournament. This is because golfers tend to play more conservatively at the start of a tournament, and take more risks in the final round.
Don't forget about the weather either when considering a live bet.
If a player has finished their round and is in the clubhouse with a respectable score, it may be worth looking to them for value. Bad weather often makes life incredibly hard for those remaining on the course.
The dynamics of a golf tournament can change in the blink of an eye so make sure you stay up-to-date and alert to all the factors during play.
Keeping up-to-date with form, statistics and in-play scenarios will determine success in golf betting.
There are many variables that affect profit potential, which can grow exponentially or diminish with a single stroke.
Staying informed and alert, both before and during tournaments, will set you up for filtering value selections from unprofitable ones.

Lighthouse: Center for Human Trafficking Victims () is a nonprofit organization based in Tokyo, Japan working to eradicate human trafficking and modern day slavery.  It used to be known as "Polaris Project Japan" ().

History and purpose
Lighthouse was founded in August 2004 by Shihoko Fujiwara. The following year, Lighthouse established the only nationwide consultation hotline for trafficking victims and those wishing to report possible trafficking activity in Japan.  Since then, the consultation hotline has been used as a source of trafficking tips throughout the nation.  The hotline provides consultations to about a hundred victims or family members annually.

In addition to maintaining its consultation and tip hotline, the organization engages in public awareness and advocacy work. For example, the Director called for materials involving children under 18 clearly created for the purpose of fulfilling sexual excitement to be regulated as child pornography.

Honorable recognition
In 2011, Lighthouse's Director and Founder Shihoko Fujiwara was named one of the "100 People Remaking Japan"  by Aera Magazine, and in 2012 she spoke about the Japanese sex trade at the TED@Tokyo Talent search.

Home Samsung
Samsung's peculiar, gigantic Galaxy View is ready for round
in Samsung
You, in all likelihood, were not seeking out a sequel to Samsung's lap-crushing Galaxy View pill, but you're getting one besides. AT&T has teased the Galaxy View 2, another take on the Android pill and cell TV hybrid. It's not quite as enormous as its predecessor with a 17. The three-inch 1080p shows and implements a smart integrated cowl that doubles as a kickstand. Still, this could without difficulty be awkward to apply in pill mode — it is, in reality, greater of a vehicle for DirecTV Now and different AT&T streaming services than something you'll use to test Facebook at the couch.
This will be a resolutely center-of-the-road tool outside of its dimensions. AT&T tells Engadget the View 2 will percent a mid-tier 1.6GHz Exynos 7884 eight-middle chip, 3GB of RAM, a front-going through the five-megapixel camera, and 64GB of the expandable garage. You get immersive Dolby Atmos audio, although and the scale allows for a hefty 12,000mAh battery that needs to keep the tablet buzzing. This being AT&T, there's integrated LTE with support for calling functions like NumberSync (which turns this into a truly over-the-top speakerphone, we'd add).
You'll need to brace yourself for the fee. The View 2 arrives on April twenty-sixth for $37 in step with month on a 20-month installment plan, which interprets to $740. Despite the smaller size, it's, in reality, more steeply-priced than the authentic $six hundred View. That may want to make sense if you're an avid viewer who insists on a sprawling display always, but it'd make greater sense to spring for a more compact tablet in case you need something larger than your cellphone. Your pockets and your legs might thank you.
Samsung is on a roll with its Galaxy-A series smartphones and has already launched Galaxy A10, Galaxy A20, Galaxy 30, Galaxy A50, Galaxy 80, etc. There is likewise a stripped-down model of Samsung Galaxy A20, referred to as the Galaxy A20e, and there are reports that Samsung is planning to convey the Galaxy A10e with only important functions to the marketplace. The new A-series critical version has become lately noticed on the 'WiFi Alliance' website, and hence the release of the phones ought to be around the corner.
Not much is thought approximately the Samsung Galaxy A10e as of now. However, using the differences between Samsung Galaxy A20 and Samsung Galaxy A20e, the Galaxy A10e will offer inferior internals. Also, the price of Galaxy A10e is predicted to be around Rs 6,000 to Rs 7,000. As some distance as Galaxy A10 is worried, the smartphone retails at Rs 8,490 and capabilities a 6.2-inch HD+ display with Infinity V display panel and octa-middle Exynos 7884 SoC. Additionally, the phone packs 2GB of RAM, 32GB of an onboard garage, and a microSD card slot (up to 512GB). The Galaxy A10 also packs a three,400mAh battery.

President Donald Trump and Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari shake hands as they take part in a joint press conference in the Rose Garden of the White House on April 30, 2018, in Washington, DC. (Photo: AFP PHOTO / Mandel NGAN)
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari recently revealed that when he met the U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on April 30, 2018, Trump unequivocally accused him of killing Christians in Nigeria.
Buhari who is Fulani Muslim — regarded as the world's largest nomadic group; they were early adopters of Islam, participating in Islamic holy wars (jihads) in the 16th century — decided to be honest about what transpired between him and Trump.
"I was in his office, only myself and himself. Only God is my witness. He looked at me in the face. He said: 'Why are you killing Christians?'"
Buhari responded: "I tried and explained to him this has got nothing to do with ethnicity or religion. It is a cultural thing which the respective leadership was failing the nation."
The truth of the matter is that while Christian persecution in Nigeria, which can be traced back to the Sokoto Caliphate (1804-1903), has only surged since 2015 when Muhammadu Buhari was elected president because the wiping out of Christians is part of his plan for the country.
It is true that Buhari has in the past expressed dismay about the persecution of Christians by Boko Haram and Fulani jihadists. Yet his government has tacitly targeted those who profess the Christian faith.
According to Emmanuel Ogebe, a leading human rights lawyer in Nigeria,
"Buhari, who is himself from the jihadists' Fulani tribe, has filled his security council with his kinsmen. He infamously refused to visit Benue State after the New Year's Day Massacre [2018] that claimed over seventy lives then commanded the state governor to go and "accommodate" the Fulani Herdsmen who had killed his people. The minister of defense has justified the killings and General Buhari's Government condones and sometimes outrightly supports the Herdsmen. Worse still, General Buhari is a life patron of one of the Herdsmen associations that has claimed some of the attacks."
Apparently, it cannot be denied that Buhari has always had Islamist agenda. In 2001 at an Islamic seminar in Kaduna, then-General Buhari stated:
"I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria. Allah willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country."
During a White House joint-press conference President Trump held with President Buhari in April, Buhari did not address nor did he outright reject that his government was persecuting Christians in the ongoing attacks linked to his own Fulani herdsmen.
Trump, notwithstanding publicly condemning the persecutions against Christians in Nigeria — "We have had very serious problems with Christians who are being murdered in Nigeria, we are going to be working on that problem very, very hard because we cannot allow that to happen" — did not pursue that matter wit Buhari any further.
Instead, Trump secured a nearly $600 million sales of military planes and security equipment, initially "stalled under the Obama administration because of allegations that Nigeria's military has been involved in human rights [violations] including rape and extrajudicial killings" — probably the only time President Barak Obama acted against jihadists.
Trump vowed that such assistance is to combat terrorists in Nigeria. But just as with Nigeria's $320 million purchase of Russian fighter jets in 2017 and other military aid Nigeria has received from China, Buhari's focus has been to protect his oil facilities from rebel attacks and abductions of foreign oil workers — incidentally, while the U.S. has a travel advisory urging its citizens to avoid some regions in Nigeria "due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, and maritime crime," Trump has yet to name Nigeria a terrorist nation, as it has with North Korea, Iran, Sudan and Syria.
On August 22, Crux, a U.S.-based Catholic news outlet, declared that Nigeria is becoming the "biggest killing ground of Christians in the world" due to attacks by Boko Haram and Fulani militants, according to reports by International Christian Concern. The charity estimates that between 50,000 and 70,000 Christians have been killed by radical Islamists in the West African country over the last decade.
Despite the U.S. issuing a travel advisory urging its citizens to avoid some regions in Nigeria "due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, kidnapping, and maritime crime," Trump has
Fulani Islamists, however, statistically now pose a greater threat than the Islamic terror group Boko Haram. Meanwhile, as jihadists continue to exterminate Nigerian Christians on a more or less daily basis, both Church leaders and Western politicians continue to prioritize political correctness, the petrodollar and the commerce of arms in the face of Christian persecutions. This only aids and abets the Fulani Islamists, Boko Haram and other Islamic fundamentalists to continue targeting Christians.

Q: How can I return this "counter" value from one method into the main method? I'm doing this problem as practice for using methods outside of the main method. The problem needed us to make three different methods, each of which does a different task, but none of them have to relate with each other.
smallestNumber(): take 3 numbers inputted by the user and output the smallest number
average(): take 3 numbers inputted by the user and output the average
countVowels(): take a phrase inputted by the user and output the number of vowels in that phrase
For me, I am able to return a value from method 1 and method 2 back to the main method.
For method 3, when I try to return the counter value, it ALWAYS returns 0 even if there ARE vowels in the phrase.
Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong? (sorry with indenting issues, I've never used Stack Overflow before)
I don't know why it keeps returning 0
public static int countVowels(String words) {
    int count=0;
    for (int i=0; i<words.length(); i++) {
        if (words.charAt(i) == 'a' || words.charAt(i) == 'e' || words.charAt(i) == 'i' || words.charAt(i) == 'o' || words.charAt(i) == 'u') {
            count++;
        }
    }
    return(count);

}

A: Your count is an int (not a String) so you should return an int. Instead of String.indexOf(String) you should be using String.charAt(int) (or use a for-each loop on String.toCharArray()). There's no need to increment by zero, and you only consider lower case letters (so call String.toLowerCase()). Like,
public static int method3(String words) {
    int count = 0;
    for (char ch : words.toLowerCase().toCharArray()) {
        if (ch == 'a' || ch == 'e' || ch == 'i' || ch == 'o' || ch == 'u') {
            count++;
        }
    }
    return count;
}

Also, consider a more meaningful method name (like countVowels()).

A: If your method has a return type of String, then return a string:
public static String method3(String words){
 int count = 0;
//logic here
return "" + count; // The "" + will convert the count to a string, if that is what you want.

}

You can also change the return type of the method, to return an int:
public static int method3(String words){
     int count = 0;
    //logic here
    return count;

    }

Based on your logic, if a string in the variable words has any of the vowels, then it will increment the count by one, if not, it will not increment it and return 0.
If you are sending an empty string or a string with no vowels, the method will return 0.

A: *

*Move the return outside of loop (your code returning inside, explains why you always get 0)

*toLowerCase each word Character, to account for case

*Make a Set of all vowels, and check if it contains each character of word (see next bullet)

**Note that indexOf, which your code calls, will always return just the first occurrence's index; that will cause your code to not always return the correct answer, even after moving the return outside the loop.  Your code using indexOf also causes it to have a quadratic O(n^2) runtime (where n is the length of word).  My solutions here do not use indexOf, and are linear O(n) in runtime.  Both your solution and mine are constant O(1) memory space.

As below:
public static String countVowels(String word){
  int count = 0;

  Set<Character> vowels
    = new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList("a", "e", "i", "o", "u"));
  for(int i = 0; i < words.length(); i++){
    if(vowels.contains(Character.toLowerCase(word.charAt(i)))) {
      count++;
    }
  }

  return "This is the number of vowels " + count;
}

Even Better (code style optimization) - use an enhanced-for-loop:
public static String countVowels(String word){
  int count = 0;

  Set<Character> vowels
    = new HashSet<>(Arrays.asList("a", "e", "i", "o", "u"));
  for(char curChar: word.toCharArray()){
    if(vowels.contains(Character.toLowerCase(curChar))) {
      count++;
    }
  }

  return "This is the number of vowels " + count;
}
