My parents were going to visit me in Turin. It was going to be the first time, so it had to be perfect. I searched for a place to stay. The winner was Palazzo Bellini. A great winner! My parents returned multiple times her. And also my sister. And also my brother!
Palazzo Bellini is located in a well-maintained 'palazzo'. The position is convenient, as it is on walking distance of the old centre and the train station, where the bus to the airport stops. The palazzo has a beautiful staircase with an old-fashioned elevator (which still works!). On the second floor, you will find Palazzo Berlini. It contains a spacious general room and three double rooms with private bathroom.
The rooms are spacious, beautiful and clean. The decoration is creative and elegant, with a mix of modern and old furniture (the photos tell you enough). The room of my parents had a chaise longue, great for relaxing after a walk in the city. The place is close to the old centre, which is an advantage, but the downside is that when you sleep with the windows open, you may hear the traffic in the background.
Last things to say is that the breakfast offers enough choice (bread, croissants, yoghurt, muesli, fruit, juice, etc..) and the staff is really lovely!

Guy did not start motor racing until he was in his 30s, having previously had a distinguished career in rugby. He had some top-six finishes in Formula Two in 1964 before moving into Formula One in 1966. He suffered a broken kneecap mid-season, but returned in 1967, when he replaced his Cooper-Maserati with a Brabham, and he scored his only point at the Nurburgring. Guy went back to Formula Two in 1968, but after the death of his close friend Jo Schlesser he retired, only to return the following year. He started building sports cars in 1970, and that led to a Formula One team being set up in 1976. Ligiers were competitive for brief periods, but they generally failed to make the most of their resources. Guy sold most of his shareholding in the team in 1992-93 and the rest in subsequent years.

My career in beauty started off unexpectedly but, once it began, I caught the bug! I'm a campaigner for the ever-growing men's skin care regime, forever seeking out the latest product that will keep me looking fabulous, whilst keeping my routine as streamlined and simple as possible - I'm a man on the go!"
I love this product's simplicity and effectiveness. Not only does it gently cleanse my skin, it gets right into my beard and keeps those hairy pores clean, keeping my skin fresh. Best of all, it uses volcanic lava ash to exfoliate!
A few drops of this, warmed and pressed into the skin, instantly takes away that tight feeling. And the scent! A bonus use of this is that it's amazing for nourishing my beard, thanks to it's base blend of hazelnut oil and Vitamin E.
How can anyone NOT love this? I swear by it and use it religiously - a little bit goes a long way. It has a great scent, lathers up superbly and leaves me squeaky clean, time after time, without drying my skin.

The historical and cultural influences on today's Sudanese painters are profound -- Nubia, Kush, Islam, non-Islamic southern Sudan. The environment within which they work and/or grew up shapes their creativity in very conscious ways, even for those who live abroad. Diab introduces his dissertation by painting this multi-faceted cultural backdrop, before turning to a consideration of the academic environment which nurtures modern painters. What, for example, is the impact of Arabic culture and calligraphy as a source of artistic inspiration? The growth and development of the Khartoum School of Art are described along with the work of four individual artists: Omer Kahiry, Hassan Ali Ahmed, Mohammed Omer Khalil and Rashid Diab himself.

It is refreshing to see Sudanese artists of younger generations, as presented here. We have not been introduced to new artists for quite a while; so this book is a welcome addition to contemporary Sudanese art. The artists born in the 1960s to 1980s have lived in an era of adversity in the Sudan—economic doldrums, stringent Islamic culture & politics, underfunded art training, isolation from international artistic networks, lack of art criticism and a local art market. The idea for this book are two Sudanese women—Lina Haggar and Saeed Tarneem—which is interesting, since there are few women artists in Sudan (or in this book). Thirty artists are featured—five of whom are women. The balance still weighs heavily with the men. We are given short but a very informative essay on each artist, along with a portrait and illustrations of some art works.

The Khartoum school is the heart and soul of the modern art movement in the Sudan. All artists of stature and accomplishment have passed through or are affiliated with the College of Fine and Applied Art in Khartoum. The work of Sudanese artists draws heavily on an Arabic-Islamic heritage and, in particular, on the visual repertoire of Arabic calligraphy. Ahmad Muhammad Shibrain (1932- ) and Ibrahim El Salahi (1930- ) are the pre-eminent practitioners in the calligraphic tradition, although both have created distinctive styles. The abstract sculptures of Amir I.M. Nour (1939- ) capture the forms and contours of the Sudanese landscape.

To maintain your business's competitive advantage, use a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect your proprietary information. Having an NDA form helps protect your intellectual property, like your trade secrets, from getting into the wrong hands. Get it in writing before sharing any confidential information, so both parties understand their duties and privileges.
Although the content of every NDA agreement is unique, there are two main types of standard non-disclosure agreements. They are referred to as a "unilateral NDA" and a "mutual NDA".
A unilateral non-disclosure agreement is a contract in which one party agrees not to disclose certain information of another. Most NDA contracts fall under this umbrella. For example, if you own a business and are hiring an employee or contractor, you may ask that they keep your trade secret under wraps. Upon signing, this employee or contractor is bound by law to do so.
A mutual non-disclosure agreement, on the other hand, is when both parties agree to not share the other's information. Commonly, mutual NDAs are signed when two businesses share protected communication.
What is the Purpose of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA)?
You're a business, and you want to ensure that the proprietary information you're sharing with another person or organization won't become public.
You're a consultant who's been given access to proprietary information belonging to another person or organization, and you want to clarify the terms under which information is shared through a formal confidentiality agreement.
NDA, Non Disclosure Form, Confidentiality Agreement, Confidentiality Statement, Confidential Disclosure Agreement, Proprietary Information Agreement, Confidentiality Clause.
Obviously, not all of a business's dealings are confidential. The business's address is one common example, though anything that's a matter of public record should not be covered in an NDA or Confidentiality Agreement form.
So what should be covered? Generally, businesses will include trade secrets—such as a secret formula, recipe, or manufacturing process. This can include anything from a specific invention used only at that business or even a treasured list of sales contacts. Commonly, it's what sets one company apart from another.
How Do You Write a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) Contract?
Unlike many business contracts, Non-Disclosure Agreements can be pretty straight forward. There are generally two parties involved in a standard unilateral NDA: the discloser of the confidential information and the recipient. The discloser can be a business or an individual who has information that they'd like to protect, and the recipient is another business or person who has access to that information. If both parties have information that they'd like to protect, then a Mutual NDA might be a better idea.
You'll need to lay out exactly what information is confidential or a trade secret. Remember, it's in your best interest to be specific here. General phrases like "business practices" can be hard to define and harder still to prove they've been breached. So feel free to note exactly what confidential information you don't want disclosed in the NDA. You may have to write a few paragraphs or pages, but a specific non-disclosure agreement goes a long way to protecting your information.
Timeframe: How Long Does Your Non-Disclosure Agreement Last?
The timeframe will include the date the NDA agreement goes into effect, as well as how long it will run. The date the agreement starts should be fairly self-explanatory (and often times is the date that the confidentiality agreement is signed), but you'll have a few different options for how long a Non-Disclosure Agreement will last.
Firstly, you can choose a specific time period, such as five years from the date signed. You can also choose a date that the Non-Disclosure Agreement will expire (such as when the project is completed). You can also bind someone to secrecy indefinitely, meaning that at no point can the signer(s) divulge the confidential information contained in the NDA agreement.
There are certain kinds of information that cannot be subject to an NDA. If the recipient of the NDA has prior knowledge of the information, for example, or if the recipient gained additional information from a different source. Also, any information that's common knowledge (or generally available to the public in some way) cannot be covered. Lastly, if the information in the Non-Disclosure Agreement can be subject to a subpoena, it may or may be coverable. If you have questions about what you can include in your Non-Disclosure Agreement form, make sure to consult an attorney.
It's a great idea to have your NDA agreement looked over by a seasoned business orintellectual property attorney to make sure that you've crafted it well. They'll be able to give you feedback and tips about how to make your Non-Disclosure Agreement as airtight as it can be.
What Happens if an NDA is breached?
If an NDA is breached, the party who revealed the confidential information could be sued for damages, be forced to pay back lost profits, and in some cases, be held in contempt of court (which could lead to criminal charges).
You may want to ask a lawyer, if you feel that your agreement has been breached. Rocket Lawyer members have access to Document Defense, which will connect you with an On Call attorney who will review your situation and respond on your behalf, if you find yourself in this situation.

The Back to Work Coalition is a group of twelve offshore oil and gas industry stakeholders and trade associations, that have banded together to oppose the federal and regulatory policies placed on the industry following the Deepwater Horizon oil well explosion of April 2010. After the explosion, the Obama administration imposed a federal moratorium on deepwater drilling that lasted through mid-October 2010.  The Back to Work Coalition was created in December 2010 to combat what the members believe is a "de facto" moratorium, caused by the federal government's hesitance in issuing drilling permits on the gulf's Outer Continental Shelf (OCS).  The coalition was founded by Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Secretary Scott Angelle.  The coalition is facilitated by the Gulf Economic Survival Team (GEST), a non-profit organization created to restore Louisiana's economy following the moratorium.

Members
The Back to Work Coalition Leadership Advisory Committee includes:
GEST
Louisiana Oil & Gas Association (LOGA)
Louisianan Mid-Continental Oil and Gas Association (LMOGA)
American Petroleum Institute (API)
National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA)
International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC)
Offshore Marine Service Association (OMSA)
Offshore Operators Committee (OOC)
Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA)
Greater New Orleans, Inc (GNO, Inc)
U.S. Oil and Gas Association
United States Chamber of Commerce

Participating members of the Louisiana Congressional Delegation include:
 Senator Mary Landrieu
 Senator David Vitter
 Congressman Charles Boustany
 Congressman Steve Scalise
 Congressman Bill Cassidy
 Congressman-elect Jeff Landry

Background
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil well, a 9-year-old semi-submersible mobile offshore drilling unit owned by BP, exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. The well spilled for three months, causing the world's largest accidental release of oil into marine waters.  Federal science and engineering teams estimate that 53,000 barrels of oil a day poured from the well just before BP was able to cap it on July 15. They also estimate that the daily flow rate diminished over time, starting at about 62,000 barrels a day and decreasing as the reservoir of hydrocarbons feeding the gusher was gradually depleted.

As a response to the environmental dangers that the oil spill created, the federal government under President Barack Obama issued a mandatory moratorium on energy exploration and drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.  The original moratorium, which was issued on May 28, was struck down by a federal court in New Orleans.  A second moratorium was issued on June 12 and was scheduled to continue until the end of November. The nearly 6-month long moratorium was widely not welcomed by Louisianans because of its negative economic effects.  Local officials, lawmakers and oil industry workers feared the moratorium would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and add insult to injury for a regional economy already battered by the massive spill.

After the moratorium was lifted, the Obama administration released a set of regulatory initiatives that appear to bottleneck the process of getting a permit to drill. This led to what many Louisiana lawmakers and workers now refer to as the "de facto" moratorium, or "permitorium", on energy production in the Outer Continental Shelf of the Gulf Coast.  This "de facto" moratorium is what Angelle's Back to Work Coalition seeks to combat.  The coalition, Angelle says, serves to "identify the obstacles standing in the way of the issuance of new permits" and keep "working toward solutions."  Angelle believes that "the deepwater drilling moratorium may have been lifted, but the federal regulatory challenges continue to delay the return of new drilling in the Gulf. It is time to get the men and women of this industry back to work, as well as the other industries that are dependent upon drilling activity for survival."

Louisiana oil industry
The oil and gas industry is one of the leading industries in Louisiana in the terms of economic impact, taxes paid and people employed.  The Louisiana oil and gas industry is really four industries in one. There is the familiar exploration and production segment, which is responsible for finding and producing oil and natural gas. Next there is the refining section, which takes crude oil and turns it into useful products like gasoline, diesel and chemical feed stock. Next comes the marketing section, which includes the gasoline stations. Finally, there is the transportation section, which includes pipelines carrying crude oil, natural gas and refined products.

An economic impact study conducted by Dr. Loren Scott shows that the total direct and indirect impact on the state is approximately $65 billion. The direct impact comes from the taxes, royalties, fees, salaries, and other money spent in Louisiana by the oil and gas industry. The indirect impact results from the salaries and wages earned by oil and gas employees being spent in the state as well as service companies, which do business with oil and gas companies and then do business with other companies. Virtually all parishes in Louisiana have some oil and gas activity.

The offshore industry operating in the Gulf of Mexico, outside the state's territorial boundaries has a tremendous impact on the state. A study conducted by Applied Technology Research Inc. shows that the offshore industry has a direct impact of $3 billion on the state. The offshore industry pays more than $500 million in salaries and wages to people working in the Gulf of Mexico. Another $2.5 billion is spent with companies operating in Louisiana and doing business with the offshore industry. It is important to remember that everything used on an offshore platform has to come from somewhere onshore.

The refining segment of the industry has an $8 billion impact on the state. Approximately half of that amount is spent on the purchase of crude oil and the remainder is spent on salaries, wages, services and supplies used at the refineries.

Timeline

December 2010
 December 8- DNR Secretary Scott Angelle met with Director Michael Bromwich of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) in Houma, Louisiana.  Angelle classified the meeting as "productive," and Bromwich made a commitment that "no new rules or regulations would be issued unless through an investigation it is determined that the failure to issue a new rule would be irresponsible."
 December 9- The Back to Work Coalition held its inaugural meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana and identified the obstacles being faced in the permitting process.  The group determined that steps need to be taken in: Expediting Plan Approvals, Clarification of new regulation and permitting rules and NEPA and Environmental Assessment requirements.  Executive Director Lori Leblanc of GEST was quoted stated, "Our focus is simply on getting our Coast back to work fueling America.  We will be working aggressively over the next few weeks and months to get clarification on new rules issued by the BOEM for driling plans and permits, and then to pressure the agency to apply necessary resources to expeditiously process backlogged drilling plans, particularly for deepwater operations, so permits can effectively move through the system."

January 2011
 January 3- BOEMRE notified 13 companies (16 wells) whose deepwater drilling activities were suspended by the deepwater drilling moratorium that they may be able to resume previously approved activities. BOEMRE explained that these companies need not submit revised exploration or development plans for supplemental National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) reviews, provided they comply with BOEMRE's new policies and regulations.
 January 11- National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill released its final report.
 January 21- The Back to Work Coalition issued a rebuttal to the seemingly negative report from the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, defending the hard work of the oil companies and the importance of getting the unemployed back to work.

February 2011
 February 4- Secretary Angelle and members of the Back to Work Coalition met with BOEMRE Director Michael Bromwich for the fourth time in three weeks.
 February 28-
 The first deepwater drilling permit since the moratorium was issued.  The permit was issued to Noble for a bypass of an obstruction in a well near Deepwater Horizon that had already been in the process of drilling when the Deepwater Horizon spill halted further progress.
 Angelle and the Back to Work Coalition met with BOEMRE Director Bromwich for the sixth time in five weeks.  BOEMRE announced that 41 more wells whose activities were suspended by the moratorium may be able to resume previously approved activities.

March 2011
 March 16- DNR Secretary Scott Angelle testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources.  The hearing highlighted the economic and community impacts of the deepwater permitting delays in the Gulf of Mexico.
 March 21- BOEMRE approved Shell deepwater exploration plan.
 March 24- Chevron won approval to continue drilling an exploratory well in the Gulf of Mexico — the first deep-water wildcat to be permitted since last year's oil spill.  Chevron's well would be the first in an unknown reservoir where oil or gas has not been produced.  The other permits — all issued in the past four weeks — have gone to projects where wells have already been drilled and discoveries have been made.

Controversy
The idea of a de facto moratorium is not looked upon as fact all around the country.  The debate between the federal government and Louisiana state leaders over planning and drilling permits has come under tough scrutiny by those who agree and those who disagree with the existence of a "permitorium".  Democrats on the House Committee of Natural Resources, in particular, suggest that there is no such thing.  Others agree that a "permitorium" is in fact taking place, but argue that the safety of oil-rig workers and the well-being of the environment are too important to risk with pre-mature drilling.  Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., was quoted saying, "There is not a de facto moratorium, only a Republican moratorium on the facts.  This hearing is taking place in a parallel universe where we didn't have the nation's worst oil spill last year in which 11 lives were lost.  A parallel universe where new drilling is not being approved as we speak."

The death anniversary of legendary folk singer Mai Bhagi was observed on Saturday.
After the creation of Pakistan in 1947, Bhagi's family began to regularly travel to Karachi, to earn livelihood.
It is believed that though she had been singing 'Kharee neem kay neechey' ever since she was a teenager, she first sang the song on Radio Pakistan in the early 1960s.
Mai Bhagi died on July 7, 1986 at the age of 66 years.


A study published in the February issue of the Journal Allergy concludes that high levels of vitamin D in the blood of expectant mothers correlated with increased incidence of food allergy in their children.
The conclusion was drawn from a new survey conducted by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg, Germany of 622 mothers and their 629 offspring. These mothers participated in a prior study between 2006 and 2008 of pregnant women during which their blood and cord blood was drawn and analyzed.
The prior study determined that women with high levels of vitamin D in their blood also expressed higher levels of the vitamin in their cord blood. The subsequent survey then issued questionnaires to asses the occurrence of food-allergy during the first two years of their children's lives.
The result was clear: the children of women with higher levels of vitamin D during gestation had a higher incidence of food allergy than the children of women with lower levels. Furthermore, these children were found to have high levels of the specific immunoglobulin E to food allergens such as egg, milk, wheat flour, peanut and soy.
Dr. Gunda Herberth of the UFZ then analyzed the level of regulatory T-cells in the cord blood, as allergy risk is known to increase when there are too few such cells. Dr. Herberth observed that the higher the blood levels of vitamin D in the mothers and children, the fewer regulatory T-cells were detected. The correlation could infer that vitamin D may suppress the level of regulatory T-cells and thus increase the risk of food allergy.

Rembe introduces the Non-Invasive Monitoring Unit (NIMU), a non-invasive rupture disc monitoring unit that provides information about the way a bursting disc responds to positive and negative pressure. NIMU is installed in a blind tapping in the outlet section of the rupture disc holder, isolating it from the process medium. The signaling method is particularly suited for critical processes and applications that require the entire system to be completely impermeable.
NIMU is also reusable. After a rupture disc has opened, only the rupture disc itself must be replaced, according to the company. If the NIMU need to be serviced or replaced, it can be done without opening the pipeline. NIMU is based on tested, intrinsically safe, closed circuit technology and it can be integrated into an existing process control system, using terminal boxes and isolating amplifiers. It reportedly meets all certification and zoning requirements.

Chicken anaemia virus (CAV) is a lymphotropic virus that causes anaemia and immunosuppression in chickens. Previously, we proposed that CAV evades host antiviral responses in vivo by disrupting T-cell signalling, but the precise cellular targets and modes of action remain elusive. In this study, we examined gene expression in Marek's disease virus-transformed chicken T-cell line MSB-1 after infection with CAV using both a custom 5K immune-focused microarray and quantitative real-time PCR at 24, 48 and 72 h post-infection. The data demonstrate an intricate equilibrium between CAV and the host gene expression, displaying subtle but significant modulation of transcripts involved in the T-cell, inflammation and NF-κB signalling cascades. CAV efficiently blocked the induction of type-I interferons and interferon-stimulated genes at 72 h. The cell expression pattern implies that CAV subverts host antiviral responses and that the transformed environment of MSB-1 cells offers an opportunistic advantage for virus growth.

Background and Objective Although most of America's domestic swine production occurs inside confinement systems, the United States (U.S.) is currently experiencing a return to raising pigs outdoors, due to growing consumer demand for sustainably-produced local foods, including meat.1,2 However, raising swine outdoors creates an opportunity for disease transmission at the wildlife-livestock-human interface.3-7 Outdoor-raised pig operations are numerous and broadly distributed within most counties in California and California also has one of the largest and widest distributions of feral pigs. 8-10 Both domestic and feral pigs are reservoirs for zoonotic pathogens (e.g., Brucella suis, Salmonella spp. and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC)).11-14 Expanding feral pig populations and increasing outdoor-raised swine operations, create a potential risk for increased disease exposure and transmission of emerging or reemerging zoonotic diseases, which could negatively impact public and swine health and the economic sustainability of California agriculture. 3,15,16 The objective of this preliminary spatial study is to understand the distribution and interface of feral pigs and outdoor-raised pigs, by identifying areas in California where domestic pig operations are within the average home range (i.e., habitat) of feral pigs. Brief Methods A list of outdoor-raised pig operations (OPO) in California was compiled between 2014-2019. Locations were identified through web-based searches and an IRB-approved online ArcGIS survey, which was announced to swine organizations through social media, newsletters, etc. and included questions regarding biosecurity practices, swine health, and feral pig presence. From the final compiled list of identified OPO, GPS coordinates were recorded using Google Earth Pro v7.3.2 and then added to a map of California using QGIS v3.6.17,18 Feral pig hunting tag coordinates were acquired from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and used as a proxy for feral pig locations. Feral pig points were added to the California map of OPO. Then the Distance to Nearest Hub tool within QGIS was used to measure the distance between an outdoor-raised pig operation and the nearest feral pig tag location. Feral pig average home range is 3-5 miles2, depending upon various factors.19,20 Results A total of 47 ArcGIS surveys were completed between September 2, 2018 and November 12, 2018. Results indicated that 86.05% of the survey participants were swine owners and another 9.30% were pig managers. Excluding all non-answers in the following results, the total average outdoor-raised pig herd size was 24 with a range of 1-350 animals. The number of acres per operation ranged from 1-2,000 with a mean of 77.71 acres. Seventeen percent (7/41) of the responding participants had seen evidence of feral pigs on their operations, and a total of 37.5% (15/40) had seen feral pigs within 2-3 miles of their location, or within average feral home range. Of the 43 answers to the question regarding which county they raised pigs, the counties most represented in the survey were Sonoma (n=8), Lake (n=4) and San Luis Obispo and Yolo (n=3). CDFW provided 29,552 feral pig hunting tag GPS coordinates recorded between 1993-2010 from 53 counties. The map of identified California outdoor-raised pig operations contained 298 locations, found within 46 of California's 58 counties. There was a final total of 45 counties with both outdoor-raised pig operations and feral pig hunting tags to analyze in this preliminary spatial study. Using the CDFW hunting tags as a proxy for feral pig habitat and the Distance to Nearest Hub tool in QGIS, approximately 46.98% (140/298) of the outdoor-raised pig operations were located within 3 miles2 of feral pig habitat and 55.70% (166/298) were within 5 miles2. Seven counties (Contra Costa, Monterey, San Benito, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Tehama) had 100% of outdoor-raised pig operations located within 3 miles2 of feral pig habitat. An additional three counties (Madera, Mariposa and San Mateo) had 100% of OPO located within 5 miles2 of feral pig habitat. Nine counties had 0% of outdoor-raised pig operations within 5 miles2 of feral pig habitat. The remaining 26 counties had a range of 9% to 91.67% of outdoor-based pig operations located within 5 miles2 of feral pig habitat. Limitations of this study include the source of swine locations. Outdoor-raised pig operations were skewed toward those located in the Bay Area and surrounding counties or that have an online presence. Hunting tags underestimate the actual distribution of feral pigs, because locations were only from areas accessible to hunters, like public land. Conclusion Since more than 45% of outdoor-raised pig operations identified in this preliminary spatial study were within the average home range of feral pigs, further study is warranted to investigate interactions of these two swine groups for disease transmission in the wildlife-livestock-human interface. The results of this project are significant because they will provide a foundation to design targeted, cost-effective disease surveillance programs for those counties at highest risk for disease transmission between feral and domestic pigs.

MultiSlot are a small provider within the casino market though they do work with some notable clients. The do offer a full suite of casino games although at the present time we are unaware of any casino operating solely on the MultiSlot platform.
Graphically MultiSlot games are reasonable but certainly not competing with the high end of the market. They offer a very small selection of table games (4 at time of publication). The games themselves carry a 'fast' and 'normal' setting. You can adjust the sound levels.
Likewise they offer a small selection of Video Poker games (6 at time of publication). Their Video Poker games do offer an autohold, but we cannot confirm whether this feature plays optimally or not.
MultiSlot – as the name suggests – have focused on their slots game products. They offer a reasonable selection of slots games. Generally speaking the MultiSlot slots games are fairly uninspired on the bonus feature front, tending to offer either complimentary spins or click on a random object features. Where the MultiSlots do stand out is in their House Edge/Return to Player (RTP) figures. While MultiSlot don't publish these figures themselves, some of the casinos they work with do. Many of the MultiSlots games are amongst the most competitively priced slots games we've ever encountered. There games range from around 5% all the way down to less than 2% so it is important to check the figures before you select a game, but it shouldn't be difficult to find a good value for money game to play.
MultiSlot clearly don't have the resources of some of the larger casino software providers, but they have managed to put together a reasonable product for the saavy player who doesn't like to pay over the odds for their entertainment.

Той е син на рицар Вернер II фон дер Шуленбург († сл. 1304) и съпругата му с неизвестно име (от ок. 1273 г.). Баща му е господар в Залцведел, споменат 1271 – 1304 г., и "пфанд-собственик" на Бетцендорф. Внук е на Дитрих I фон дер Шуленбург († 1264).

Замъкът Бетцендорф е от 1340 г. собственост на род фон дер Шуленбург, след напускането на замък-резиденцията Шуленбург при Щапенбек близо до Залцведел. Бетцендорф става през следващите векове фамилно главно място на рода.

През 1340 г. Дитрих II фон дер Шуленбург и брат му Бернхард I фон дер Шуленбург († сл. 1340/1341) разделят фамилията в Алтмарк на две линии. Дитрих II основава "Черната линия", по-малкият му брат рицар Бернхард I основава "Бялата линия", жени се за Гизела († 1351) и е баща на Дитрих III († 1393), княжески епископ на Бранденбург (1366 – 1393).

NCFA Canada Launches Crowdfunding Standards Initiative
NCFA Canada | Craig Asano | October 9, 2014
TORONTO, ON Oct 9, 2014 – The National Crowdfunding Association of Canada (NCFA Canada) today announced the launch of its Crowdfunding Standards initiative, which was created to build crowdfunding excellence through common standards of practice and strengthen confidence in the ecosystem.
Initially, these standards will be designed to serve as an industry benchmark for service providers, issuers and a wide variety of industry participants to use as a guideline (or checklist) when raising money online, particularly with equity crowdfunding investments.
NCFA Canada's Crowdfunding Standards Board
The Crowdfunding Standards Board (CSB) is a sub-committee of the National Crowdfunding Association of Canada (NCFA Canada), a registered Canadian not-for-profit corporation. The CSB draws on the expertise of lawyers, accountants, entrepreneurs, regulators, anti-fraud investigators, bankers, payment processors and investors to create crowdfunding standards for portals and issuers raising capital from the crowd.
The Crowdfunding Standards Board is led by CSB committee chair and NCFA Legal Advisor John Wires, and Craig Asano, Founder and Executive Director of NCFA Canada. With the staggering growth of the crowdfunding industry and recent developments in equity crowdfunding, there is a growing need for risk reduction, due diligence, and perhaps most importantly, transparency.
"We are working to develop standards and best practices for the Canadian crowdfunding industry. The NCFA wants to ensure that industry participants have the proper guidance to promote transparency for investors and backers. The standards and guidelines will further the NCFA's mandate to promote a healthy crowdfunding framework in Canada." -- John Wires

Why do you need a locksmith? These tips will help you to get the cream of the crop. The advice here will assist you in finding help with your home security.
Always do research on a locksmith before you hire them for a job. You have to make sure you are hiring someone you can trust. Some scammers will duplicate keys without your permission, so be careful.
A locksmith who quotes one price and tries to charge another may be scamming you. This is scam to take advantage of a person in a desperate situation. If the quotes are different, tell the locksmith that his services are no longer needed.
Be certain to always get a receipt for services performed by a locksmith. Even though the majority of locksmiths are legitimate, there are always people out there looking to scam you. Get proof that you paid for the service before the locksmith leaves. Keep the receipt to ensure you have it available if a payment issue comes up later.
Check the locksmith's reputation at the BBB. You can see if they have any complaints against them. Check ALOA.org as well.
When you are able to, Google any locksmith you wish to hire. It is not hard to find reviews for locksmiths and other services online. Do not use a site that is affiliated with any particular locksmith or locksmith group. You should also check the Better Business Bureau too determine if the locksmith you are thinking of hiring is in good standing.
Ask any locksmith about their experience. If they have been working at this for quite some time, the chances are that they will be great at what they do and people you can trust. While most new locksmiths won't get your trust right away, just a tiny bit of experience is something to be cautious with.
Do not hire the first locksmith that you talk to. Call a variety of locksmiths before you commit to choosing one. This will give you a good idea of reasonable rates. One you know the average, you can opt for a locksmith who is charging fairly.
See the existing customers that a locksmith is working with. A lot of businesses are going to not have a problem with giving you references, and you should take your time to call them up. Ask about the dependability and integrity of the locksmith as well as the amount charged after hours or during emergency situations.
Beware of any locksmith who claims they need to drill out your entire lock or wants to replace it if you find yourself locked out. Any skilled professional will get your door open without damaging it, and also make a replacement key for your old lock, so bear that in mind.
You can Google anyone who comes to work for you. Don't feel uncomfortable about doing this – you are protecting yourself and your family. If you aren't comfortable with them, try to get another locksmith.
If a locksmith charges you for simply showing up, find someone else. This is something that not a lot of locksmiths are going to be able to do, so you should know this person is probably trying to scam you. Contact the police if you feel you are getting scammed.
Ask about additional costs when quoting locksmiths. Is tax included in the quoted amount? Are there discounts which could apply? Will you be charged extra because of travel mileage or anything else? Figure out the total, and then agree.
A good locksmith should be able to do more than just change a lock on your door. If you have been the victim of a burglary, they should be able to change the locks on your windows as well. Some might even reconfigure your alarm system.
Tipping a locksmith when a job is done well is common practice, so remember to tip that person for the job done. This is particularly important for emergency calls. Fifteen percent is appropriate for a regular service and twenty if it was complicated or late at night.
Why are you locked out? Are the keys still inside the car? That is a very different situation than your keys having been stolen. The former means just getting through the lock while the latter means replacing all of your locks.
Ask if the locksmith can provide you with a firm price quote for performing a simple task, such as unlocking a door for which you do not have an available key. If so, you probably want this locksmith. If they tend to waffle, keep searching.
Did the locksmith give you a quote? Without seeing the situation in person, the estimate may be a little off. That said, if the quote they give in person is higher than over the phone, be worried.
Do you need emergency services? You can never tell when you will need the services of a locksmith. Find out what the charge is for emergency services. There are certain to be extra costs involved, so it is useful to know ahead of time what to expect.
Ask about your home's security. Any locksmith will be able to evaluate your home for security, because they are experts. They can provide you valuable advice that will increase your security. They may offer you specific upgrades as well.
Ask for two estimates, the first being for the work described and the second for a "worst-case scenario". A locksmith with lots of experience has probably encountered everything that can go wrong and will be able to quote you a "worst-case scenario' price.
A good locksmith will always dress professionally at all times. How a person appears can tell you their level of professionalism with their services. One important thing to observe is whether they wear a company uniform as that's a good indicator that the company is well established.
There are times when you might need to get inside when locked out. Sometimes your business or home security needs must be addressed. Knowing how to find the best locksmith is what really counts. This article has shown you how to find a great locksmith.
