A method for simulating bonus awards in a finite award pool system is disclosed. The finite award pool comprises a plurality of primary awards and at least one simulated bonus award, where at least one of the primary awards indicate further entitlement to one of the simulated bonus awards. The simulated bonus awards may not be selected as a primary award per se, but constitute a portion of the actual primary award when combined with the primary award associated therewith. Additionally, the present arrangement allows simulation of more complex bonus award in finite pool systems by providing multiple or nested bonus level selections from either primary prizes or bonus prizes.
This application is a continuation in part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/450,821, filed Nov. 29, 1999, entitled "Lottery System Having Reverse-Mapped Game Set," now U.S. Pat. No. 6,537,150 the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in entirety.
This invention pertains generally to finite pool bonus awards. More particularly, the invention relates to a method and system for providing simulated bonus awards in a finite pool award arrangement.
Finite pool award systems are known in the field of gaming and lottery. Unlike random-based games such as slot machines, for example, wherein the outcome of the game is based primarily on random events, finite pool awards (or fixed-pool awards) are based primarily on a draw from a finite distribution of outcomes or results.
Common forms of finite pool games include pull-tab and scratch-off lottery tickets. These tickets are arranged into finite sets called "deals," "decks" or "draws". Each finite set has a predetermined number of tickets at various prize levels. Therefore the total price of the deck is known (since the tickets are sold for a uniform amount) and the total value of the prizes is known, so the seller of the tickets knows the total profit to be made on the sale of the deck. These decks of tickets are manufactured and printed at a central location, and put into a form usable by standard dispensing machines, typically in rolls or stacks. These rolls are then physically distributed from the central location to each vending site for dispensing. Tickets are dispensed by clerks or vending machines to customers, who peel open a layer hiding the prize contents to reveal what their winning value is, if any. Winning tickets are redeemable for the value of the win. Examples of such implementations are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,290,033 entitled "GAMING MACHINE AND COUPONS" to Bittner, et al. and 5,348,299 entitled "ELECTRONIC GAMING APPARATUS" to Clapper, Jr.
In addition to the paper version of pull-tab games described above, electronic versions of pull-tab games have also been implemented. Under this electronic arrangement, the finite sets ("decks") are generated electronically and stored on a central server. One or more player terminals are then networked to the central server. Players, who wish to play a pull-tab game under this arrangement, may purchase, reveal, and redeem the electronic pull-tabs from the player terminals. When a player at a player terminal makes a purchase, an electronic pull-tab or "game element" is communicated from the server to the player terminal. The electronic pull-tab is displayed to the player on the player terminal and is removed from the "deck" by the central server to indicate that the pull-tab has been played. The presentation of the pull-tab to the player may be provided in various forms (such as poker hands, slot symbols, keno symbols, etc.) to mimic the presentation of other games of chance (e.g., random-based games, such as video poker, slot machines, video keno, etc.) although in reality the game is that of a finite pool award, namely pull-tab games.
Various arrangements have been further developed to further increase player participation in electronic forms of finite pool award games. One such technique is generally referred to as "reverse-mapping" and is described in copending U.S. Application "Lottery System Having Reverse-Mapped Game Set" Ser. No. 09/450,821, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein by reference in entirety. Unlike prior art lottery systems which provide both the outcome symbols and the win amount to the player terminal for each pull-tab game drawn from the central server, the reverse-mapping method only provides the win amount; the player terminal, after receiving the win amount, is then able to generate the outcome symbols from the win amount; the outcome symbols are then presented to the player. This arrangement provides the advantage of allowing the player terminals to generate one of a plurality of game outcomes symbols to the player, thereby increasing game diversity and player appeal. This arrangement also allows different game formats on player terminals to share the same finite prize pool maintained on a single server.
Another disadvantage of systems of the prior art results from legal restrictions on "bonus" awards. Some jurisdictions effectively limit the use of bonus or secondary event awards, by requiring that such awards not be counted in determining the net payout of a gaming device. These rules tend to limit the flexibility available to the designer of a game. The reverse-mapped system of copending U.S. Application entitled "Lottery System Having Reverse-Mapped Game Set" Ser. No. 09/450,821 describes an approach with provides more flexibility, and can be more easily tailored to comply with local regulations while still providing a varied and entertaining game, through the use of bonus and secondary event simulations that are reverse-mapped from pre-determined award outcomes. The payouts to the player are not true "bonus" awards but only simulated bonus awards using a single draw for the finite pool. Under this arrangement, the central server provides pre-determined award outcomes (game elements) which may indicate that a portion of the award is to be paid as a "bonus" simulation. If the selected game set element is coded or is otherwise determined to be applied as a bonus award, a portion of the winnings may be paid to the player in the form of a bonus award, rather than as part of the primary base pay. Each portion (base pay and secondary pay) can then be reversed-mapped by the player terminal to provide a symbolic display for each pay (e.g., a slot display for the base pay and a secondary game screen for the secondary pay). For example, a predetermined award amount of $1000 can be paid to the player either through a base pay of $1000 (no bonus pay) or a base pay of $100 plus a secondary bonus pay of $900.
Unfortunately, as games of chance (e.g., slot machines) have become more complex including numerous payline arrangements and multiple bonus levels, the number of possible win combinations (base pay+bonus win) has likewise grown. Simulating these complex games on a finite pool award system becomes unpractical (e.g., memory, processor, and other limitations) due to the increased number of win combinations that need to be represented in a finite pool. With the limited memory and processing power of the lottery player terminals, complex paylines and bonus levels could not be practically represented using the reverse-mapping technique described above.
In order to overcome these and other deficiencies in the prior art, disclosed herein is a system and method for providing simulated bonus awards in a finite pool award system using a multiple draw arrangement.
The finite pool award system of the present invention generally comprises a central game server in operable communication with a plurality of player terminals, which are played by players. One example of a finite pool award system is a lottery game having a finite pool of awards, each award represented by a game set element. Each game set element is coded for a particular or primary award, and/or for a bonus award, so the choice of the game set element determines what award can be won by the player. However, unlike prior art methods, a game set element coded as "bonus award" involves one or more draws from bonus finite award pool.
The central server handles communication of both ordinary win game set elements as well as bonus coded game set elements. In the case of an ordinary win (i.e., no bonus award), the central server communicates the primary award amount for that game set element to the player terminal. The player terminal upon receipt of the message from the central server reverse maps the primary award amount into appropriate symbols which is displayed to the user. The corresponding primary award is also paid to the player.
In the case of a bonus-coded game set element, the central server communicates the primary award amount for that game along with (1) an indication that one or more bonus awards are to be paid out and (2) the corresponding bonus award(s) that are to be paid out. The player terminal upon receipt of the message from the central server reverse maps the primary award amount into appropriate symbols which are displayed to the user (including triggering the bonus event). The corresponding primary award is also paid to the player. During the bonus phase of the game, the player terminal reverse-maps each of the bonus award amounts into appropriate symbols which are displayed to the user. The corresponding bonus award(s) are also paid to the player.
This arrangement provides the advantage of mapping the primary award and bonus awards into discrete payouts which are reverse-mapped by the player terminal into appropriate symbols, thereby reducing the processing overhead required by player terminals to determine the primary and bonus amounts which are to paid to the player. Accordingly, complex primary and bonus strategies may now be implemented in finite pool systems otherwise previously impractical and costly. Additionally, this arrangement permits the simulation of more complex "slot type" games into a fixed-pool system arrangement. Further objects and advantages of the invention will be brought out in the following portions of the specification, wherein the detailed description is for the purpose of fully disclosing the preferred embodiment of the invention without placing limitations thereon.
FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram depicting an example finite pool system suitable for use with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a logical flow diagram describing an illustrative process for generating finite ticket pools in accordance with the present.
FIG. 3 is a logical flow diagram depicting an example process of distributing game set elements in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a logical flow diagram depicting an example process for selecting a game set element from the award array (or subset or deal) in accordance with the present invention.
It will be advantageous to first describe the simulated bonus arrangements in accordance with prior implementations in order to more clearly point out the advantages of the present invention. One example prior arrangement is described in copending U.S. Application entitled "Lottery System Having Reverse-Mapped Game Set" Ser. No. 09/450,821. To illustrates the prior arrangement, consider Table 1.
Table 1 represents the finite pool of elements in the game set. In practice, a game set element physically comprises an element of data, stored in a computer memory, which element identifies the award associated with that element. For example, the computer can store a plurality of game set elements as an array, each element of the array identifying a monetary value. The array defines the desired probability distribution according to the number of elements having a particular value.
In the simplified example of Table 1, there are two elements associated with an award of 25, five elements associated with an award of 10, and so on. In this example, there are five separate prize levels: 0, 3, 5, 10, and 25, each level representing a particular primary award. In operation, the central server randomly selects a game set element from the finite pool. Each such element is coded so that it is associated with a particular award corresponding to the prize levels. The player terminal must then translate, or reverse-map, that award into an appropriate symbol display and payout the award. The chosen game set element is then removed from the pool.
In order to introduce a simulated bonus award, a substantial increase in the amount of prize levels would likewise be required. For example, introducing example bonus awards of 5, 10, 15 would result in a modified finite-prize table according to Table 2.
By introducing three bonus awards (e.g., 5, 10, 15), the total number of prize levels increases to thirteen (13). An associated number of elements for each prize level can be defined in accordance with local rules and to desired profitability. Increasing the number of prize levels requires a corresponding increase in processing power at the player terminal in order to handle several aspects of reverse-mapping, including determining the primary award amount, determining the bonus award amount (if any), reverse mapping each of the primary and bonus award amounts to appropriate symbols, and other processes. As would be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, as the number primary and bonus awards increases, the number of prize levels increase and thus the corresponding processing power in the player terminal required grows to unpractical levels.
In accordance with the present invention, a finite pool award table is provided including primary award levels and one or more bonus award levels which are referenced from the primary award levels. An example finite pool award table in accordance with the present invention is presented in Table 3.
In the example of Table 3, primary award levels comprise levels 1 through 9, while bonus award levels comprise levels 100 through 120. The appropriate number of elements for each of the primary award levels can be defined in accordance with local rules and to desired profitability. Similarly, number of elements for each of the bonus award levels can be defined in accordance with local rules and to desired profitability. It is noted that bonus awards levels 100 through 120 may not be awarded as a base or primary award, but may only be awarded as a bonus or secondary award in conjunction with a primary award. Bonus levels 100 through 120 are not "true" bonuses but rather "simulated" bonus and therefore constitutes a portion of the "primary" award; however, the presentation of the bonus levels awards appears to the player to be bonus prizes because a presentation separate from the "primary award" is provided in accordance with the invention. It is noted that these simulated bonus should be distinguished from "probability" bonuses which are awarded as part of "scratch off" or "pull tab" lottery games, where the bonus award there is a "true" bonus but awarded on a probability basis. Such bonus strategies would be impermissible in certain jurisdictions where the present invention utilizing "simulated bonuses" would be allowable.
Returning to example Table 3, Primary award levels 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 include only a base or primary award. Primary award levels 2, 4, 6, and 8 include a base/primary award and a bonus award, as indicated in Table 3. For example, prize level 6 would include a base prize of five (5) plus a bonus prize from bonus prize levels 100 through 120. Prize level 8 would include a base prize of three (3) plus a bonus prize from bonus prize levels 100 through 110.
When a player terminal request a game element from the central server, the central server selects a primary element from the primary awards (e.g., 1 through 9). If the selected element also qualifies for a bonus prize (e.g., award level 2, 4, 6 or 8), then a bonus element from the bonus awards (e.g., 100 through 120). The central server would then communicate to the requesting player terminal the primary award and, if any, the bonus award to be paid to the player. Upon receipt of this communication, the player terminal then displays the primary award to the player, and, if any, displays the bonus. Various means for displaying the game output of the game element (including any bonuses) may be used in accordance with the type of game implemented on the player terminal. For example, slot games would represent win outcomes typically with rotating reels and paylines and in accordance with a payout table; poker games would represent win outcomes with cards representing poker hands and in accordance with a payout table. As in known in the art, payout tables indicate the payout corresponding to particular game results (e.g., slot symbols (or poker hands) with corresponding win amounts).
An example system 10 suitable for use with the present invention is shown in block diagram format in FIG. 1. System 10 comprises a central controller 12 in operable communication with a plurality of player terminals 18 a through 18 n, normally through a wired or wireless network system 16. The controller 12 managers one or more electronic ticket pools 14 (each pool comprising a plurality of game set elements), the game set elements of which are distributed to player terminals 18 a through 18 n in accordance with the present invention. According to some embodiments, the functions carried out by the controller 12 may be carried out by a plurality of devices or a plurality of controllers 12, each managing different ticket pools to thereby spread the processing workload across multiple devices and provide more robust performance of the system 10.
Controller 12 comprises suitable hardware and software components for carrying out the operations described herein. As such, controller 12 generally comprises a processor board including a processor coupled to memory and to an input/output (I/O) interface for communication to I/O devices (e.g., keyboard, controls, display device, network device). The controller 12 further includes operating software as well controller software executed by the processor for carrying out the processes described herein in accordance with the present invention.
Ticket pools 14 are normally generated by a computer or other data processing device and then stored on the central controller 12 for distribution to the player terminals 18 a through 18 n, although a controller 12 with sufficient resources (e.g., processing power and memory) may also carry out the process of generating ticket pools 14. In general, the ticket pools 14 are generated from templates (which define the number of award levels whether primary or bonus and the number of awards in each award level) into "deals" having a plurality of game set elements. As described above, the present invention provides for primary award levels, and at least one bonus award level, where at least one of the primary award levels includes one bonus award from the bonus award level(s). The "actual" award to the player for any given draw includes the primary award plus any bonus awards, if any, although when displayed to the player, the primary award is provided pursuant to primary game display and any bonus awards are simulated pursuant to a secondary game.
The player terminals 18 a through 18 n comprise suitable hardware and software components for carrying out the operations described herein. As such, a suitable player terminal generally comprises a processor board including a processor coupled to memory and to an input/output (I/O) interface for communication to I/O devices (e.g., bill validation unit/coin acceptor, player controls, display device, speakers, network device). Each player terminal further includes operating software as well player terminal software executed by the processor for carrying out the processes described herein in accordance with the present invention.
Referring next to FIG. 2, a logical flow diagram describing an illustrative process for generating finite ticket pools 14 in accordance with the present invention is shown. This process may be carried out by a computer or other data processing device, such as the central control, for example. In general, the process of generating a finite ticket pool 14 (i.e., finite deal) comprises instantiating all the awards from a template into a ticket pool, which may further be subdivided into subsets or "deals." As described above, a template defines the primary and secondary (or bonus) award levels, as well as the number of prizes within each award level. As illustrated in the example Table 3 above, each prize level is associated with a primary prize amount and may further include one or more bonus awards. Each award level will also identify the number of awards for that particular award level. The process described in blocks 100 through 160 is only illustrative, and other means for generating finite ticket pools will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art having the benefit of this disclosure and are contemplated for use with the present invention.
At block 100, a primary award from the primary award group (i.e., an award from one of the primary award levels) is randomly selected. The selected primary award indicates a primary award (including zero) and may further indicate one or more bonus awards.
Next at block 110, the count of the primary award level from which the primary award is selected (box 100) is decremented. As noted above, each award level is associated with a total number of prizes. A counter may be used to identify the total number of awards remaining for each of the award levels and is decremented each time an award is selected from that award level.
At decision block 120, a determination is made whether the selected primary award (from box 100) includes a bonus award. As described above, certain primary award levels may indicate entitlement to one or more bonus awards, and from which bonus group (defined bonus levels). If the selected primary award includes a bonus award, box 130 is then carried out. Otherwise, box 160 is carried out. In some cases a primary bonus award will further indicated entitlement to yet another bonus award (i.e., nested bonus), in which case, box 130 is carried out to determine the further bonus award. Further nesting of bonus awards may further be defined. As will readily be apparent to one skilled in the art, this arrangement provides means for implemented complex simulated bonus awards not previously available in prior art finite pool schemes.
At block 140, the count of the secondary award level from which the bonus award is selected (box 130) is decremented.
At block 150, the selected bonus award (from box 130) is stored into an award array. This award information will generally include award level, award amount, among other information. Blocks 120 and 150 are then repeated for each bonus award identified either by a primary award or by a "primary" or previous bonus award, until all bonus awards have been drawn.
At block 160, the primary award (from block 100) is stored into the award array. This award information will generally include award level, award amount, among other information, such as the number of bonus awards if any associated with the primary awards. Under this example arrangement, if a primary award does not include a bonus award, the primary award is simply stored into the award array. However, if a primary award does include at least one bonus award, the bonus awards are first stored into the array, and then the primary award is stored after all associated bonus awards have been instantiated. This is only one possible arrangement, but has the advantage of allowing the central controller 12 to ascertain all draw bonus awards, if any, from the award array until a primary award is selected, and then assemble the game set element message for communication to the requesting player terminal.
The process shown in blocks 100 through 160 are then repeated until the template is fully instantiated (all awards have been drawn). The completed award array thus constitutes a complete ticket pool 14 for a given template. Since a fully instantiated ticket pool 14 may include large numbers (perhaps in the millions) of game set elements, the award array can be subdivided into subsets or deals for easier management by the central controller 12. Various templates may be provided for a particular gaming device consistent with the particular payback sought. The tickets pools 14 (or subsets thereof) generated in this manner are then communicated to the central controller 12 for distribution in accordance with the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 3, a logical flow diagram depicting an example process of distributing game set elements in accordance with the present invention is shown. This process illustrates a sample flow of communication between a player terminal 18 a and a central controller 12. Reference to FIG. 4 will also be made to describe the process of drawing a game element from the finite ticket pools 14.
Initially, as indicated by communication signal 200, the central controller 12 communicates a polling signal to each of the player terminals 18 a through 18 n coupled to the central controller 12. In general, this poll signals is used to indicate that the central controller 12 is ready to receive a request for a game set element.
At block 210, a player terminal 18 a has received a wager from a player as well as a request to purchase a game set element (normally by pulling a handle or pressing a play button). In response, the player terminal 18 a awaits a poll signal from the central controller 12 (signal 200) and then transmits a request for game set element, identified as communication signal 220. Based on the game or theme implemented on the player terminal as well as the wager amount, the request will identify an appropriate ticket pool 14 from which the game set element is to be drawn.
At block 230, the central controller 12 receives the request from player terminal 18 a, and retrieves a game set element from the indicated ticket pool. This process is described in more detail below in conjunction with FIG. 4. The game set element message communicated to the requesting player terminal 18 a will indicate a primary award, and if any, the number of bonus awards and the amount of each bonus award. As noted above, the bonus awards are merely simulated bonus displays, but the amount for the requested game set element is the total of the primary award and the bonus awards, if any. Unlike probability bonus awards in the prior art, the present awards are true fixed pool awards, where each game set element has a fixed award amount and has a definite payback percentage and value. The representations of the fixed award is merely displayed in a primary award and simulated bonus award manner.
The game set element determined during block 230 is then communicated to the player terminal 18 a as indicated by communication signal 240. This message is received by the player terminal 18 a and is processed at block 250. At block 250, the player terminal 18 a then determines the primary award from signal 240 and reverse maps the primary award amount into a corresponding primary display (e.g., reel symbols, cards symbols, keno symbols, etc.), which is then shown to the user. Any primary award amounts are also paid to the player. If the primary award further includes a simulated bonus award, the primary display shown to user will also trigger play of the secondary or bonus feature. For each bonus award, the bonus amount indicated from signal 240 is reversed mapped into corresponding secondary or bonus displays, each of which are then shown to the user; the corresponding bonus awards are also paid to the player. After the game set element (primary and bonus awards) have been displayed and paid to the player, a confirmation signal 260 is then sent to the central controller 12 to confirm completion of the transaction.
At block 270, the central controller 12 receives the confirmation signal 260 and removes the game set element (selected during block 230) from the finite pool 14. The above process is then repeated until the finite pool 14 is exhausted.
In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the finite pool 14 is replenished (i.e., a newly instantiated finite pool 14 is provided to the central controller 12) prior to exhaustion so that that game play may continue at the close of the previous finite pool 14. For example, when the present finite pool reaches 50% depletion, a newly instantiated pool may be provided, and the central controller 12 may draw in alternating fashion from each of the pools.
Referring next to FIG. 4, the process for selecting a game set element from the award array (or subset or deal) is generally shown. This process is only illustrative and should not be considered limiting as various other means from drawing game set elements from the award array are contemplated for use with the present invention. The process shown in block 300 through 350 and described below illustrates a suitable solution for the example award array created by the process of FIG. 2 described above.
In general, a counter may be used to determine the current array element in an award array. Those array elements, if any, prior to the current array element have been previously "played" and are considered "removed" in that they cannot be played again.
At block 300, the central controller 12 selects the next award from the award array for a given ticket pool, the next award being the current array element defined by the counter for the ticket pool. The selected award will indicate, among other things, an award level and an award amount.
Next at block 310, the array counter is incremented so that the next array element becomes the current array element.
Next at decision block 320, the central controller determines if the selected award 300 is a bonus award. This determination can be made by comparing the award level of the selected award (from block 300) against the award levels, known to be primary award levels (e.g., award levels less than 100). If the selected award level is a bonus award then block 330 is then carried out. Otherwise, the selected award is a primary award, and block 340 is then carried out.
At block 330, the selected award amount is stored as bonus award and will be assembled into the game set element during block 340 as a bonus award. Blocks 300 through 320 are then repeated, until a primary award is determined at block 320.
At block 340, a primary award from the award array has been selected, and a game set element message is assembled from communication to the player terminal. If no bonus awards are associated with the primary award, a simple message indicating the primary award level and the primary award amount may be sent. Otherwise one or more bonus awards must also be indicated, in which case the game set element message (in addition to indicating the primary award level and the primary award amount) will also identify the number of bonus awards, and for each bonus award: the bonus award level and the bonus award amount.
At block 350, the game set element message is then communicated to the requesting player terminal (depicted in FIG. 3 as communication signal 240).
Although the description above contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention but as merely providing an illustration of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention. Thus the scope of this invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.

Tax Day is an ideal time to acknowledge the invaluable service that volunteers provide to help nearly 3 million low- and moderate-income people file their taxes and claim the tax credits they've earned. In 2018, volunteers at the IRS's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and AARP Foundation's Tax-Aide programs provided skilled tax preparation and other valuable services for lower-income households at 9,527 sites across the country.
Each year, some 90,000 people volunteer to file tax returns and help run free tax preparation sites. Starting in January, they go through rigorous tax law training to pass an annual certification. In their experience, volunteers range from new preparers to those with 35 years under their belts. What keeps people returning to volunteer? For many, free tax preparation is a rewarding way to give back to their community.
Save on tax preparation fees. Volunteers save taxpayers an average of nearly $300 in tax preparation fees, enabling them to better take care of themselves and their families.
Claim eligible tax credits. Volunteers receive special training on the rules to claim refundable tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). These tax credits reward hard work and help keep children healthy, improve kids' school performance, reduce poverty, and increase earnings for the next generation, research shows.
Complete tax returns accurately. Free tax preparation programs have an accuracy rate of over 90 percent, the highest in the industry. The training that VITA and Tax-Aide volunteers undergo helps prevent the IRS from holding up tax returns for verification and reduces the time that taxpayers spend to get tax filing mistakes corrected.
Connect to other services. Many VITA sites offer other needed program assistance, linking taxpayers to public benefits like SNAP (formerly food stamps) and health insurance and financial resources like bank accounts and financial coaching. Free tax preparation programs help ensure that taxpayers receive all the benefits for which they're eligible, reducing household financial stress.

There are a variety of different tamper evident seals, including Shrink Bands. But what exactly are they? A Tamper Evident Shrink Band is a band of plastic that fits around the cap and neck of a container. The product manufacturer applies the band to the container which thereafter does not open without also irrevocably removing the band. That is, the tamper evident band must be torn or ripped off in order to open the container. After removing the tamper evident band, moreover, it is impossible to reapply the used band. Hence the name, tamper evident bands!
Tamper Evident Shrink Bands are a quick, easy, and professional way to seal and secure your packaging. They are alternatively known as cut bands, cut shrink bands, custom cut bands, cap bands, cap seals, safety seals, clear bands, or even seamless bands. Whatever the name, Shrink Bands add a level of value to the product that far outweighs the pennies each band costs. Furthermore, they are fast and easy to apply and require no fancy equipment or other significant investment or training. In regulated markets, Tamper Evident Shrink Bands can be used together with child-resistant packaging and also form an important component in maintaining compliant packaging.
How to apply a tamper evident shrink band: to begin with, slip it over the cap and neck area of the container. Next, use a heat gun (a hair dryer will also do the trick!) to evenly apply heat until the band fits snugly around the container. The seal on the container is now tamper evident. As a customer or patient, it is easy to remove the seal because of the vertical perforation on these cut bands. Either remove the band along the perforation prior to opening the container or simply open the container as usual and the band will naturally fall off!
Prior to applying these Shrink Bands, please keep in mind the following tips and tricks. Firstly, be sure to seat the band properly over the cap and the neck area of the container. Specifically, the sealed surface cannot be entirely straight-sided, there must be a lip to which the band can anchor itself. Otherwise, the band can be removed by simply slipping it up and over the top of the container. In order to seal a container with no lip, the band should encompass the entire container. Secondly, heat application must be even to properly shrink and fit the band. That is to say, too little heat will result in a band that is loose and does not fit properly. Alternatively, too much heat will over-shrink the band and cause it to tear at the perforation.
Please select from the variety of Tamper Evident Shrink Bands below. In the event that you are unable to find a suitable size for your container or if you would like to inquire about a customized band, please call us today at (877) 420-5636 or email us at sales@collectivesupply.com – we can help!

Q: Unable to create ASP.NET Core Web Application but not getting error message When I try to create a ASP.NET Core Web Application project, I get to choose a template, but all I get is an empty solution with no projects added. If I try to add a new project, the same thing occurs. I do not get any error messages for most of the templates (such as Web application which I'm trying to start), if I choose "Razor Class Library" I get the an error referencing to the ActivityLog.xml which has this as the latest entry:

How I got here:
I had a working VS2017 installation without ASP.NET Core & Web workload. I installed the latest version of the .NET Core SDK, then I upgraded to the latest version of VS2017 and included the ASP.NET Core & Web workload as well as the Blazor Language Services extension as described here.
What I've tried:
After this, I couldn't create any projects at all and got errors for Unsupported Project Types, same even for my my old C# projects. I searched extensively and eventually uninstalled everything and reinstalled twice, but the same errors. So I uninstalled again, using all the cleaner tools, ran the console with the reconfigure commands, installcleaner commands and everything I could find as well as removing the VS directories and appdata directories. After that I am where I am now. I would think I have a very clean VS installation, now regular console applications and winforms applications work, but no the .NET Core Web applications.
How can I get this fixed? How can I generate a better log file to attach here for more information?
Edit:
When I check the solution directory, a project is being created but not added, if I try to add this as existing project I get the following error message:

Expected 1 export(s) with contract name
  "Microsoft.VisualStudio.ProjectSystem.VS.Implementation.Package.ProjectFactory+ProjectLoadHelper"
  but found 0 after applying applicable constraints.

A: Add MvcRazorCompileOnPublish in your Project

   <MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish>false</MvcRazorExcludeRefAssembliesFromPublish>
   <PublishWithAspNetCoreTargetManifest>false</PublishWithAspNetCoreTargetManifest>
</PropertyGroup>

A: Finally this was fixed after completely uninstalling, cleaning up visual studio directories (and AppData) and reinstalling, and then again clearing the folder found in:

%AppData%\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\15.0_7cfaf63e\ComponentModelCache

Even though I had done this step before, this is what finally fixed it for me. An important note here is to clear the folder found in the Local AppData folder, most answers I've found only reference the Roaming folder, so to be sure it's a good idea to clear all of them. I hope this helps someone else in a similar situation!

Elizabeth Holmes's weird, possibly fake baritone is actually her least baffling quality
By Monica Hesse
| The Washington Post |
Elizabeth Holmes, founder and CEO of Theranos, speaks at the Fortune Global Forum in San Francisco. Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney has premiered his latest documentary on the fraudulent tech startup Theranos at the Sundance Film Festival, Jan. 24, 2019. (Jeff Chiu/AP)
Decent people, as a rule, do not comment upon traits that are beyond other people's control. Height, nose, gait - all off limits.
This rule gets tricky when it's not clear whether a trait is intrinsic, or is a bizarre affectation, specifically chosen, and deeply revealing of some aspect of personality or culture. President Donald Trump's hair, for example - it needed to be discussed. In the context of vanity, in the context of delusion, in the context of pressures related to baldness and masculinity.
Which brings us to the question of Elizabeth Holmes's voice.
Holmes, 35, is an erstwhile Silicon Valley CEO, at one point the youngest self-made female billionaire in the United States. Her company, Theranos, purported to revolutionize lab testing, via diagnostics that required only a simple finger prick. She was selling health, and everyone from Rupert Murdoch to Betsy DeVos to Henry Kissinger to George Shultz bought in.
Then, the whole thing turned out to be a scam. The technology didn't work. Holmes was charged with nine counts of wire fraud and the company's downfall is now recounted in a popular podcast, book, series of investigative articles and, as of this week, an HBO documentary called "The Inventor."
And in the middle of all that, Holmes has . . . an unusual way of speaking.
A deep, back-of-the throat baritone, with a surfer inflection, a dash of seasonal allergies, a touch of robot - just Google it, okay? It's become a whole thing. Online, some listeners decided Holmes had drawn inspiration, vocally and criminally, from Mira Sorvino in "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion." Others were more succinct: "She talks like a tuba."
"Elizabeth Holmes's Fake Voice Is Actually Just 'Stupid Man' Voice," postulated a writer from Jezebel, who pointed out that Holmes sounded like a Saturday Night Live cast member doing a skit about a moron. "Inside Edition" ran a segment on her voice. The Cut published a deep analysis into whether this could possibly be how Holmes actually talked and determined it couldn't. Higher-pitched snippets of Holmes speaking have occasionally surfaced online, and acquaintances claim her voice changed dramatically when she became famous.
Experts then rang in about whyyyy someone would possibly invent such a thing. "She thought it would achieve the desired effect of making her seem like a Silicon Valley visionary," synthesized Cut writer Katie Heaney.
Reading Heaney's piece, and the Jezebel piece, and hundreds of baffled sleuths online, I felt like we were all wrestling with the same question: How do you discuss a woman's weird voice and make sure you're not just calling it weird because she's a woman?
Holmes is an alleged fraud and scam artist who, if she's found guilty of even half the charges against her, deserves a lot of prison time. But faking a voice? Let's talk about that.
Remember a few years ago when certain culture consumers began an ongoing obsession with "vocal fry"? It's a guttural quality which, frenzied observers insist, is perpetuated by young women and needs to be stopped. Earlier this week, New Yorker radio host Helen Rosner posted an instructional email she'd received from a male listener. "Please consider working with a vocal coach," he wrote.
Before that, columnists fretted about "uptalk," wherein speakers end statements with a rising intonation, which makes sentences sound like questions: My name is Jordan? Detractors again claimed it was something only young women did, and also (and thus?) it needed to end.
Of course, there was a reason young women used uptalk, as linguists would later point out. It's not only a more inclusive, inviting speaking style, it's also a reaction and counter-response to another frequent charge levied against women: She's yelling at me.
Of course, there was a reason young women might employ vocal fry. Making your voice guttural is the opposite of making it breathy, and breathy women's voices are also viewed as wrong - childlike and insubstantial. Male radio hosts from Ira Glass to Howard Stern are also vocally fried, as Rosner noted, but the phenomenon is still seen as a female problem.
Anything high is too screechy; anything low is too butch. Anything soft lacks confidence; anything loud is your shrill mother-in-law.
It's entirely possible for women to have melodic, pleasing voices, of course. They just have to be reincarnated as Patricia Clarkson.
Here's another way of putting it: The 2020 field of presidential candidates has given us a wealth of female voices. So if you don't like Kamala Harris's voice, and you don't like Elizabeth Warren's, and you don't like Kirsten Gillibrand's, and you don't like Amy Klobuchar's - and if you're observant enough to realize that none of them have voices that are at all similar to each other - then maybe it's not their voices you have a problem with.
So here comes Holmes, who appears to be performing a deep, low voice. In considering her manner of speaking, I thought of vocal fry, and uptalk, and Margaret Thatcher taking speech lessons so that her voice would sound more authoritative, which ended up meaning "more masculine."
He had a 'very unusual' lump on his finger, so a Chicago-area man sought help from 'Dr. Pimple Popper'
Chris Rock starring on Season 4 of 'Fargo,' which will film in Chicago
A 42-year-old college instructor from Antioch will compete on new TV show that combines mini golf with 'American Ninja Warrior'
Sally Field, 'Sesame Street,' Earth, Wind and Fire to receive Kennedy Center award
It's hard to separate Holmes's crazy voice from her crazy acts. It's important to make it clear that this woman comes across as delusional at best and felonious at worst. People are probably interested in her speaking style because, like Donald Trump's hair, it seemed to reveal something about her alleged personality. Her fakeness, her deception, her commitment to a grand facade.
But she was also an attractive younger woman who had mostly surrounded herself with older, powerful men. She was allegedly running a scam, and that scam required her to be seen as authoritative, competent and visionary, in a world with a historically limited definition of what "authoritative and visionary" looked like.
Holmes is baffling. But of all the weird things about her, the weird voice is the one that actually makes the most sense.

Managing editor, Writers, Copyeditors, Project manager
Our client at Avvo.com client was a former client from MSN. When he moved to Avvo.com, he reached out to see if Denny Mountain could find and manage a team of writers, provide editorial oversight, and produce content on a regular cadence for the company's Stories blog and Lawyernomics site. He needed to outsource some content management to gain the time he needed to concentrate on strategy and marketing.
Managing content teams falls squarely in our wheelhouse. We quickly hired a team of freelance writers from all over the United States. In lockstep with the client, we solicited pitches, scheduled stories, turned around "quick twitch" news stories, edited manuscripts, updated project documentation, and handled freelancer contracts and payments. We also gave the Avvo.com editorial team access to our Asana workspace (Asana is a web-based project management tool), trained them how to use it, and set up a workflow to keep everyone who works on the project in synch

Our content team produced hundreds of articles on a wide variety of topics, from beating a DUI to game-changing laws for renters.
"Working with Denny Mountain has been an extremely positive experience for me as a content manager. I first worked with them while at MSN, and was so impressed with their flexibility and easygoing professionalism that when I changed jobs and began work as a consumer marketer at a different company, I immediately hired them again. The projects we've worked on over the last two years have required Denny Mountain to be nimble and respond creatively to ongoing shifts in process, and they've been amazing about handling whatever I throw at them. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a bespoke content service."

Q: gradle can't build android project due out of memory I'm getting this error when i try to build my project on android studio
Out of memory: Java heap space.
Please assign more memory to Gradle in the project's gradle.properties file.
For example, the following line, in the gradle.properties file, sets the maximum Java heap size to 1,024 MB:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m

my grandle.properties is:
org.gradle.configureondemand=true
org.gradle.daemon=true
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

4GB isn't enough? why?????
the project isn't super huge... the whole src folder has 4MB
and my only dependencies are: retrofit, gson, and the support library
The only thing i notice weird is:
This project is a fork from a github project, initially the project had all its images as PNG at different sizes... so the whole project was over 10MB i used an online tool to convert this png into svg->xml drawable for android...
I've checked and tested and those drawables are fine
But during compilation, android studio creates a folder build\generated\res\pngs and there tons of pngs are copied... even if there isn't any at the project
what might be happening?
============update===============
the error always happen during packageDebugResources how can i check which resource was on task?

A: Try to remove fork options :

tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {
      options.fork = true }


Many people have been adding probiotics to their diets for years and swear by the benefits. Learn what exactly probiotics are, the different types of probiotics that exist, how they can benefit your health, some disadvantages of using probiotics, common misconceptions surrounding their use, and finally, how probiotic-enhanced air can improve the air quality of your home.
First things first. Let's discuss what exactly probiotics are. Probiotics are defined as live microorganisms/bacteria. Microorganisms are tiny living organisms. Probiotics are also commonly known as friendly, good, or healthy bacteria because consistent use or exposure to them can offer many health benefits. Probiotics are perhaps best known for promoting a healthy digestive tract and immune system.
Longum – Lives in the GI tract.
intestine and can be found in yogurt productsReuteri – Lives in the intestine and mouth.
Help prevent tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other oral health problems.
Neither of these claims are supported by research nor doctors and are considered myths.
Probiotic-enhanced air is the newest delivery method of probiotics, and it's taking the world by storm with the promise that it can restore the eco-balance of your home and improve your indoor air quality. Basically, releasing probiotics into your air introduces good bacteria into your home, which purifies the air and protects both it and you from contaminants.
To learn how the WAVE Probiotic Portable Air Purifier can enhance your indoor air quality with probiotics, visit our website or the WAVE Probiotic Portable Air Purifier product page, or give us a call at 888-967-9283.

Q: Linux Kernel IRQ Routing with irqbalance / kernel options I'm trying to get my Xen Dom0 distributing the irqs in an smp enviroment. As far as I know there are 2 Options:

*

*Use irqbalance

*Configure the kernel without cpu hotplug support

My System is Debian Squeeze, Xen 4.0.4, Kernel 3.2.31.
My Problem is:

*

*irqbalance segfaults due to a changed /proc/irq* layout or irq0 missing (this seems to be a very old bug existing since Lenny)

*To configure a kernel without cpu hotplug support you must disable cpu powermanagement which seems to be impossible through the standard wys (make config / make menuconfig) - the option CONFIG_PM simply defaults to "Y".

Any idea anyone on how to get a debian dom0 kernel with a proper irq distribution?

A: Ingrid says: You shall limit your cpus to use irqbalance:
XEN commandline failing to start irqbalance under squeeze:
/boot/xen-4.0.4.gz dom0_mem=2597152 no-bootscrub dom0_vcpus_pin

Working commandline:
/boot/xen-4.0.4.gz dom0_mem=2597152 no-bootscrub dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0_vcpus_pin

Tested with 3.2.30 and 3.2.31.

The Mental Side of Recruiting
"Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical." - Yogi Berra As everyone knows, baseball is a game of failure - a game where if you fail 70% of the time, you can make a ton of money doing it. As a young player, you work hard and put in long hours fine-tuning your mechanics, getting stronger and faster, and learning the game. But that's only half the battle. What about the 90% of it that's mental - how much work do you put in training your mind? That's where sport psychology comes in. Another way to look at sport psychology is to see it in terms of "mental strength", "mental toughness", or "mental conditioning." The higher the level you achieve, the smaller the difference in your competition's technical skills, tactical knowledge, and physical ability. The biggest difference comes in ability to focus, coping strategies to deal with pressure and failure, and overall confidence. So, what does this have to do with the recruiting process? I frequently work with athletes who are stressed by the process: more people watching you play, more pressure to perform, and bigger downside if you don't. Thoughts like these may become distractions, taking focus away from just performing up to your ability: -"What if I mess up in front of this coach?" -"I HAVE to play perfectly." -"Don't make a mistake, don't strike out." Athletes tend to overthink these things because they think it logically makes sense. But it only makes sense if you are playing for a coach who thinks they are scouting players who bat 1000 and never make an error. The reality is, I don't know any coaches who think that way. Coaches aren't [...]

Congrats Wilson High School Baseball – state champions
For the past couple seasons, I have had the pleasure of working with the Wilson High School baseball team. What these guys did this season was amazing! "In the Oregon School Activities Association 5A final, the Trojans were down to their final three outs, trailing 6-3 against Kevin Hamann, the best 5A pitcher in the state, who came into the game with a 16-0 record. Wilson had been clinging to its final breath of life throughout the previous two rounds of the playoffs, though. The Trojans trailed Pendleton 7-1 in the quarterfinals before coming back to win 9-7 on the road. In the semifinals, Wilson trailed Bend 2-1 in the seventh inning before scoring the tying run and eventually winning 3-2 in 10 innings. One reason for the comeback victories was that Wilson has had four sessions with sports psychologist Brian Baxter this season. The Trojans learned how to focus on their breathing, how to create routines and how to control what could be controlled." Check out the story from this week's Portland Tribune.

The North Corporation has threatened to invoke the Essential Services Maintenance Act against doctors and class-4 employees who have decided to go on mass casual leave on Friday.
Doctors under the civic-body run hospitals had threatened to go on mass casual leave on Friday and carry out a march to Lieutenant Governor Najeeb Jung's house in protest against not getting salaries. The notice issued to the doctors mention that salaries will be deducted and if need be, criminal cases will be filed against them under the ESMA.
"Going on a mass casual leave amount to violation of the 2002 Delhi High Court order which mentions that no employees can resort to disruptive activity. Patients will suffer in the process which is a violation of the HC order," said Dr D K Seth, Director, Bara Hindu Rao Hospital.
Doctors at the North Delhi Municipal Corporation-run Bara Hindu Rao Hospital, Kasturba Hospital and other health centres have been agitating since the past week over pending salaries. The doctors have been striking work for three hours everyday since last week.
The doctors, however, decided to go on with the strike despite the North Corporation order. "We are fighting for our right. It is unfair that the hospital will issue such orders," said Dr R R Gautam, president, Municipal Corporation Doctors' Association (MCDA).
"Doctors are participating on voluntary basis. We have not forced anyone to join the agitation," said Dr Gautam.
They met Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who had assured them the funds would be released in a week. But the MCD has not received any funds till now.
North Corporation mayor Ravinder Gupta met Jung on Thursday seeking release of funds. "The LG has assured us that he will immediately write to the Chief Minister for the release of funds. It is unfair that employees should suffer for lack of funds," said Gupta.
Gupta told Jung that the sanitation workers have not received salaries either. "Sanitation services will soon collapse if funds are not provided to the civic agency. We are not seeking help but demanding our share of funds," he said.

Signing day: Where southern Maine football players are heading to college
Kennebunk's Dante DeLorenzo signs with New Haven, and Portland's Nathan Kapongo intends to play at New Hampshire.
By Steve CraigStaff Writer
Some of the most prominent football recruits from Maine are still in the decision-making process, but several seniors signed national letters of intent Wednesday to play at the college level.
At Kennebunk, Maine Sunday Telegram All-State linebacker Dante DeLorenzo made it official that he will be joining the University of New Haven football team. A Division II program that competes in the Northeast-10 Conference, New Haven went 9-3 last season and reached the second round of the NCAA playoffs.

"They said they liked my film and I definitely got the feeling they wanted me there," said DeLorenzo. "They had been in touch with me since last spring."
The national letter of intent is a one-year binding agreement used by NCAA Division I and II programs to confirm that a student will attend the institution in exchange for an athletic scholarship.
On Monday, Portland High defensive lineman Nathan Kapongo verbally committed to a scholarship offer from New Hampshire, a Division I program. He did not sign a letter of intent Wednesday but will do so at a later date, according to new Portland coach Jason McLeod. Kapongo received full scholarship offers from New Hampshire and UMaine, McLeod said. A native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the 6-foot-5, 265-pound Kapongo set a school record with 16 sacks. He played multiple positions on the defensive line, fullback on offense, and even returned kicks. He first played football as a sophomore, shortly after moving to Portland with his family.
Fitzpatrick Trophy winner Tyler Bridge, the Maine Sunday Telegram Player of the Year, said he won't make his decision until after visiting both Maine and Division II Bentley later this month. Bridge has visited New Hampshire and Colby. Last fall, Bridge rushed for 2,390 yards as a senior for Wells High and scored 45 touchdowns, an unofficial state record.
Anthony Bracamonte of Thornton Academy, a Fitzpatrick Trophy finalist and the Gatorade Maine Player of the Year, is also weighing his options. Thornton's Tommy Palmer, the Gaziano Award winner as the state's top defensive lineman, has attracted interest from Maine and New Hampshire as a potential preferred walk-on, in part because of his long-snapping skills.
Scarborough High lineman Zach Reed (6-6, 315 pounds) is another player working through the process, with interest from both Maine and New Hampshire, according to Scarborough Coach Lance Johnson.
Three linemen with southern Maine roots did sign letters of intent Wednesday.
Former York High player Jackson McCarty, a 6-2, 270-pound lineman currently attending Deerfield (Massachusetts) Academy, signed to play at Merrimack, which is transitioning to Division I status.
Offensive linemen Anthony Pizzella (6-4, 270) of Scarborough and Ian Dures (6-5, 270) of South Berwick, who played at Marshwood, both signed with Franklin Pierce in Rindge, New Hampshire. The Ravens will be playing their first season of Division II football in 2019 as a Northeast-10 team. Both players are projected as offensive tackles for the Ravens.
At Kennebunk, two of DeLorenzo's teammates signed acceptance letters Wednesday to Division III programs in Massachusetts with the intent to play football. Zack Sullivan, a two-time All-State wide receiver, will be attending Bridgewater State, and Tripp Bush, a three-year starter at quarterback, is going to Springfield College.
"I asked them to sign with me," DeLorenzo said. "They weren't really planning on doing it (Wednesday), but I thought it would be cool to do one last thing together that involved football."

Lung Cancer Home > Do E-Cigarettes Cause Cancer?
E-cigs are relatively new. Unfortunately, this means that there isn't any long-term data about their safety. In fact, preliminary studies (which are usually small or done in labs) are just starting to be completed.
The unfortunate truth is that we simply do not know at this time if e-cigs are safe (or at least safer than cigarettes) or effective for helping people quit. And we simply do not know whether or not e-cigarettes increase the risk for cancer.
Does this mean they should be banned or highly regulated until we have more information? That is a political question, and your answer will depend on how you view public health issues, personal freedom issues, and the role of the government in regulating industries. Either way, almost everyone can agree that we need more information in the form of larger and longer studies to determine how safe and effective e-cigs really are.
One study, which first came to light in January 2014, has drawn quite a bit of attention. This study, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), looked at the effects of e-cigs on lung epithelial cells.
To make matters clear, this study was not performed in actual humans. It was done in human lung epithelial cell lines that had been manipulated to act like lung cells of former smokers. Specifically, researchers caused mutations that turned off a cancer-suppressing gene and turned on a gene that encourages cancer growth.
At the time the researchers went public with their data as a "poster presentation" at the American Association for Cancer Research, their work was still ongoing, with many questions left to answer. But their initial results showed that the cells exposed to e-cig vapor underwent changes very similar to changes in the cells exposed to tobacco.
As you can see, this is a long way from proving that e-cigs cause cancer. But it does highlight the fact that they may not be as harmless as we assume. Much more research is necessary to figure out what exactly this means in terms of actual cancer risk.

These words made little Wyatt Mowray want to cry. A crowd of children surrounded him. They would often say horrible things like this. They would speak very loudly and ask him if he could hear what they were saying.
Wyatt was not like other children. He had been born with only one normal ear. The other one was very small. It was not shaped in a natural way.
Wyatt's mother is Judy Mowray. She was very sad about the way the other children were treating him. She tried to say things to make her son feel better. But he just became more and more unhappy. Judy became very worried about him. She prayed to God and asked him for help. She wanted to find some way to solve this problem. And then one night while watching the news on television she heard about a very unusual man. Her heart was filled with excitement! It was possible that this man could help her son.
The man she saw on television was Robert Barron. He had lived a very unusual life. And he had some very unusual skills. When he was young he had a talent for painting. His pictures looked very real. People believed them to be photos from a camera. He had also loved to build things. When he made something, every small detail was correct.
Later, he accepted a job at a secret United States government organisation - the CIA. Here, Robert did not use his talent to create art. Instead, he used his skills to help the spies who worked for the CIA. He worked hard to create disguises that could completely change a person's appearance - the way the person looked.
One day he went to a conference to learn how to improve the disguises that he made. He met many people there who were experts in the design of false body parts. This branch of engineering is called prosthetics. The experts wanted to build prosthetic arms, legs, and other body parts. They wanted to help people in need.
Robert saw many pictures of people who had suffered terrible changes to their appearance. Some had lost noses and skin because of disease. Others had lost body parts through accidents. Seeing these things had a strong effect on Robert. When he left the CIA he decided to use his talent for making disguises to help people who suffered with these problems.
When Robert heard about Wyatt Mowray he was sure that there was something he could do. He first created a prosthetic ear to replace the one that Wyatt was missing. Then he attached this false ear to the side of Wyatt's head. Finally, he painted the ear in exactly the colour that it should be. When Wyatt looked in the mirror he was so happy. He decided that he looked just like any other little boy.
Far away in the Indian city of Jaipur, another man had been using his unusual talent to design useful things.


It is also important to note that you can still be a fat vegetarian – if ever come across Gwyneth Paltrow I am going to slap her with a kebab for lying to me.
In writing this I can almost feel a therapist analysing these posts in the future. Frantically searching to discover the reason why I am prancing round her room reciting the Declaration of Independence and insisting she call me The Countess.
Therapist, if you are reading this, hello. The fact I have a therapist, either means I am rich but have no friends left to talk to, or it has been ordered by a tribunal of some kind. Either way, I think we can all agree it's been emotional. Don't judge me Therapist Lady, I'm a nice person really. Now give the Countess a hug, and just check she has flat shoes in her bag before you let her leave.
I know what you are thinking – "Sophie's been out, I bet she's managed to make a fool of herself, this should be funny".
About the fool part, not about the funny part, (I hope).
I know for a fact I managed to make it through all of my social engagements without falling over. That alone is an achievement in my book. Not only did I do this but I also survived not one but two trips to KFC without so much as a nibble on a chicken wing.
The guy at the gym had the cheek to tell me I need to work on my core strength. Well Mister, you don't know what strength is until you've stood outside KFC after a wine and managed not to order a mega bucket and gravy!
Whilst my achievements this week are numerous, it is piffle compared to my lovely friends.
Dear Reader I am proud of you too, that thing you did the other day was bloody brilliant!
Congratulations have to go to Jenny and James for the loveliest wedding in the world.
To Jam and LT – well done on turning 30!
Some would say that isn't technically an achievement but with the palaver that is growing up in modern day Britain it is a wonder any of us make it out alive. I for one still can't believe I made it through primary school without turning to a life of crime to pay back my POGS debt.
To those that said "play for keeps" at the start and took it back when you lost. Shame on you. You know who you are.
Massive round of applause for Jade who did a triathlon! Apparently that is Swimming, Cycling and Running. In Lycra. What a hero!
To all my other friends who did something fabulous this week – take a moment to pat yourselves on the back. You achieved, which is a lot more than can be said for the clasp on my sports bra which finally decided enough is enough and promptly gave up on me. Thank God it was after spinning and in the comfort of my own home as that could have been mightily embarrassing. "Extra firm support", my elbow.
If you do this. Stop it. Stop it right now.
Me? I'm fine. I chose to look like death this morning. What's your excuse?
What these people don't know is that despite the brave face and the flippant attitude, on the inside we are dying.
I've had days where I've thought I would rather peel my own skin off than relive last night's antics and the only thing you can do is exhale loudly and occasionally swear at yourself for no reason.
This is more commonly known as The Fear and is liable to set in somewhere around 5.30pm on a Sunday night. Just as Surprise Surprise is on. Housemate has found me many a time wailing "They're twins but they haven't (sniff) seen each other (sniff) in fifty years (collapses into sobbing freak show)".
We all deal with The Fear in different ways. In this day and age (lord I sound old) it is impossible to enjoy a hangover without some fool posting a picture of you on Facebook. Normally they look amazing whilst you look like a slobbering moron.
Again – you know who you are.
I tend to go off grid after a night on the wine to give myself time to recuperate. My friend Chess deletes every single number from her phone. All of them. Clare used to hide her iPhone in my wardrobe so she couldn't be reminded of the night before. It is the modern day equivalent of running away to Mexico. Until we develop the ability to turn back time, this is the only way we can feel better. It's annoying, sure, but totally and completely necessary.
The point is that when you do something humiliating there is a period in the instant aftermath where you have to make a choice. Do you own what you just did and laugh at it with everyone else or do you submit to your wounded pride and feign injury so people feel bad if they laughed at you?
I've done both and option A is definitely the way forward. Otherwise you get tangled in a web of lies that involves pretending you've shattered your knee whilst a stranger tries to find an ice pack and then fake hobbling away. True Story.
So, even though this week I am exceptionally proud of myself, it doesn't mean to say next week will be the same.
I just have to think rationally about it.
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the …oh sod it, make mine a large one!
I love your style of writing and it's a great way to start the weekend, Soph…reading your blog before tucking into a bacon sandwich with HP Brown sauce and a mug of tea. Well done to you for all the achievements you made this week.


Have you given up on anything. You just know that what others hope for is not going to happen because it never does. People like me irritate you because I keep preaching Jesus and I keep saying how wonderful he is and you don't get it because all you see is death and depression.
It's hard to explain the things that Christ can do, to anyone that see's the darkness. There's no hope in them, they are hurting, in pain, and demonic forces have surrounded them. It's hard to break through and shed light.
Did you know that Jesus was only 2 miles from Lazarus when he was sick. He could have gotten to him in plenty of time to heal him just as he had done with others. For whatever reason, he waited at least 4 days, my guess is it was even longer because after death they had to prepare his body. Wrap him in linen cloth, full of spices.
No one would have ever believed that Lazarus was going to come out of that tomb. Yet he did upon the command of Jesus.
What things do you believe can not be done, that Jesus could do?
