Facebook Gets Rid Of Bing In Search Results
Last week, Facebook began rolling out an update to its search experience, finally enabling users to search keywords and get actual posts from their network. One part of the update that the company didn't exactly announce, but that some have noticed, is that the search experience no longer includes web results from Bing .
Facebook and Bing have been partners for years. In addition to Facebook getting some special treatment in Bing's own results, Bing has been the supplier of supplemental search results in Facebook searches. When no actual content from Facebook was a right fit for a search, web results from Bing were offered as kind of a last resort for information retrieval.
It's unclear how often people actually used these Bing results from Facebook searches. My guess is not very. I can only speak for myself, but I can probably count the times I've relied on these results for finding something on one hand. Maybe less.
Facebook appears to not value them much either. Now, when you search Facebook for something, you're presented with these options: Posts, People, Photos, Pages, Places, ,Groups, Apps, and Events. If you can't find what you're looking for from those options, why are you even searching on Facebook to begin with? That seems to be the mentality of Facebook.
Apparently Facebook's relationship with Microsoft hasn't completely ended. Reuters shared a statement from the social network:
"We're not currently showing web search results in Facebook Search because we're focused on helping people find what's been shared with them on Facebook," a company spokesperson told Reuters. "We continue to have a great partnership with Microsoft in lots of different areas."
I guess Facebook has the upper hand in that relationship. It gets its content on Microsoft's search engine, and Microsoft gets…the privilege of showing Facebook content to its users?

I'm actually trying to understand some things about our v6's. I previously got a CF1 GTV with a CF3 engine that was very very strong with a wide torque spread at all rpm. All the car was stock, from intake to map & exhaust. The benefit of being on a CF1 car is that the throttle body diameter was 80 mm. The previous owner, who did the engine swap, told me that the CF1 engine was not as strong (timing was OK).
Now i've got a CF2 engine with mods (squadra remap, 3.2 cams, 74,5 mm TB, ACT plenum, ELFP and decat) and it don't feel as torquey, except on the very end of the rev band (6k to 7.3k rpm). Is there any upgrade done to the CF3 engine to counterbalance new emissions regulations and the precat that would explain the big power gap when fitted in a CF1 engine and ECU ? I see that the pistons and head gaskets differs (or is it only the TS ?). Maybe the CF3 engine got more compression ? I know that only the cf2 cars got a DMF but does it make this much difference ?

I can't answer the technical questions, but I can say that the difference between DMF and single mass flywheel is big. It's so much more willing to rev with the SMF, it really makes the engine 'zing', if you've had all the other mods done then it's well worth having the DMF to SMF conversion done, and an LSD (Q2 or Quaife) too, transforms the corner grip and how you can deploy the power.
It's maybe the SMF effect indeed, + the throttle by cable which is very responsive. Of course, the timing is spot on onn my CF2 actually and the maf readings suggest a little more power than a OEM 3.2 V6. I will probably go for an AHM lightweight flywheel ASAP.

Need to pay suppliers in China? Try sending renminbi
Jason Kaye 28th May 2021
The world of international payments made easy
With an International Payments Account from WorldFirst, you can pay your overseas suppliers as if they were around the corner.
In the past, the cost and inconvenience of currency transactions, rather like language, distance and cultural differences, were seen as significant challenges to doing business with companies in China. But the reality now is very different.
True, language can still be a barrier, and the immense physical distance has not disappeared; what has changed, however, is that cross-border currency transactions with China have become effortless. In fact, it's never been easier to transfer money to suppliers in China.
For businesses in Europe and beyond trading with Chinese companies and with a need to send money to China, doing so is now as easy as transferring funds to the US or Australia. Making payments directly in renminbi is quick and convenient.
Renminbi comes in two forms: onshore and offshore. Onshore renminbi (CNY) is used in the Chinese mainland and offshore renminbi (CNH) beyond. There can be a slight variance in their values against other currencies, because the offshore renminbi is allowed to move amid the ebbs and flows of the global foreign exchange market. Yet, the sheer weight and size of the onshore market prevents sharp swings and high volatility.
But there is one constant: offshore and onshore renminbi always trade one-for-one, they are transferable at exactly the same value. And while there may be occasional changes in policy, from a practical point of view, these don't affect foreign businesses trading with Chinese companies.
What is the difference between the yuan and the renminbi?
Take a look at our quick guide to find out more.
Paying in CNH saves money
The renminbi is a stable, safe and transferable currency that's underpinned by the world's second largest economy that has a credit rating equal to Japan and higher than many EU countries. London, meanwhile, has established itself as the second largest clearing center for offshore renminbi payments after the city of Hong Kong.
We recently sat down with Eton Rock, a cosmetics maker based in Gibraltar to find out exactly how easy it has been for them to make payments to their suppliers in China using renminbi.
James Schaaf, Director of Eton Rock noted that, as recently as within the last 10 years, foreign exchange brokers described the currency pair (CNH and CNY) as "an exotic, which subconsciously reduced my trust and comfort when trading in this currency pair."
In 2017, that changed when Eton Rock switched to using WorldFirst to handle its payments to its Chinese suppliers – using renminbi. "I found that Chinese suppliers were more than happy to also quote prices per unit in their domestic currency," said James Schaaf noting that he could get prices as much as 10% cheaper this way. "I was always able to achieve better unit price equivalence when quoted in CNH."
Exotic currencies are generally more expensive and volatile, but the renminbi is a far cry from that now. The offshore renminbi market is long-established and fast growing. It's also set to expand further as China gradually opens up. The renminbi is forecast by Morgan Stanley to overtake the Japanese yen and British pound to become number three global reserve currency, behind the US dollar and euro, by 2030.
Savings on foreign exchange, transparency on fees
WorldFirst offers a secure, easy-to-use online platform and competitive foreign exchange rates. It's able to offer better rates because of the volume of transactions it handles. Its scale means it can get far more competitive rates – with rates up to 80% lower than the high-street institutions. Small businesses using traditional service providers will likely incur higher fees or get less competitive exchange rates if the size of their transaction is relatively small. WorldFirst will typically offer an exchange rate that's 2%-3% more competitive*.
WorldFirst's simple and transparent pricing model enables all its clients to receive a fixed fee, known ahead of time, based on their annual trading volume – with no opening fees, annual fees, or deposit requirement.
WorldFirst can reach banks anywhere in China. So, whether it's for spices in Sichuan, consumer electronics in Guangdong or precision engineering in Jiangsu, transactions can be settled in directly in renminbi with speed and ease.
Speed up payments to Asia
Access our networks and over a decade of experience helping businesses pay into China. WorldFirst have made over 1 million payments into China in the 12 past months, valued at almost £13bn

Plastic straws are a form of single use plastic that are particularly difficult to recycle and take hundreds of years to degrade.


With Panasonic LX100, Panasonic enters the world of professional, compact cameras that can provide perfect answer to Fuji X100S and Sony RX100 III.
The Panasonic LX100, unlike its predecessors, has a Four-thirds sensor with 16 megapixels. But since the model uses the Multi Aspect Ratio system by Panasonic, the images are formed using just 12.8MP. When compared to its predecessor LX7, the LX100 definitely stands out.
One of the best features of this camera is the increased size of the photo receptors by as much as 4 times in comparison to the LX7. Hence, you can always expect better quality images of it. However, with such technology, you only wish that Panasonic could help you to use the whole 16 megapixels to form images.
Panasonic has again used a brand new Venus engine that enables you to an ISO range of 200 to 25,600 coupled with settings that can increase this number to ISO 100-125,160. Yes; you can shoot 4k video, too, while with continuous shooting, you can have 8MP images at 30 frames per second.
The camera is also equipped with a Leica DC Vario-Summilux 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 lens in spite of having a massive increase in the sensor size. This is a great feat achieved by Panasonic who worked by using a new technology for the construction of the lens. The lens has 6 groups all of which are movable independently along with five aspherical lenses created with extra properties of depression using a secret 'special' material.
To ensure that each element is aligned to perfection, Panasonic has used a newly devised multiple lens centring system. Besides, instead of the regular seven, the aperture in this camera uses as many as 9 blades. So, if you love to create bokeh in the background, you shall be mesmerized.
To ensure the enthusiasts and the budding photographs have complete ease of usage, the LX100 is enabled with both NFC technology and Wifi. To connect the Wifi, all you have to do is scan the QR code. That's it! The features of this camera are absolutely hassle-free.
If you are an experienced photographer who's looking for a compact yet high quality camera, the LX100, with its array of modern controls, shall be able to satisfy your needs. A solid build with a curled grip in the front along with a thumb-ridge at the back make the body of this camera.
The camera doesn't feature the modal dials but use the traditional controls. There is an aperture ring near the lens along with the control of shutter speed. This usability along with the large sensor makes LX100 a really loved camera.
The lens barrel features a sliding switch that can set the image aspect ratio between 4:3, 1:1, 16:9 and 3:2 along with a ring for manual focusing. Its manual focus has the ability of highlighting the areas of highest sharpness.
Zooming can be done through a sprung lever around the shutter dial. You can set the exposure level between + and -3EV with the help of a traditional control. There is also a Zebra display seen in the EVF and the screen indicating the areas of the image that are close to burning out.
If you are looking for clicking images using an Auto mode, the camera features excellent iA button on its top plate to easily activate Panasonic's Intelligent Auto Mode that effectively handles the white balance and exposure of the camera. The shutter speed dial and the aperture ring both possess an A button that allows for a quick change to the Program mode, Aperture priority or shutter priority.
There is a "Filter" button on top of the camera that provides for a quick access to as many as 25 filter modes. Besides, the camera has not only got a beautiful 921,000-dot 3-inch LCD screen but also possess an electronic viewfinder of 2,764,000-dot for composing beautiful images. This makes LX100 stand bright above its predecessors, especially in its ability to compose beautiful images in bright ambience.
In spite of a compact body, it possesses great sensor. The lens is of high quality, yet small enough for better handling. Traditional controls along with an electronic viewfinder make this camera a must-have for many photographers.
Why should you not buy it?
When compared to the other compact cameras and even SLRs (beginner's range), the LX100 produces quite crisp and high quality images. The daylight images possess amazing details and bright colours along with a tinge of natural sharpening. However, whether the camera can compose equally great images at lower light sensitivity with perfect noise control is to be examined. The lens is also quite adept in composing beautiful images.

The Confederate monuments are back to the minds of the people in the state, and two Atlanta-Atlanta Democrats are proposing measures that would bring them out of significant public places, and a Republican of north Georgia wants to add additional defenses to the controversial markers >> Read more timing news The bills were completed after Georgia avoided conflicting conflict between supremacists and white antifascists last weekend at Stone Mountain, where there are granite carving of three ancillary leaders. Mr State, Jeff Mullis, said that he believed not only that there should be monuments when they were originally built, but Georgia's law should require anyone who bandages a marker to pay for the damage made. At present, if the vandal is attached and charged, a judge decides whether he or she would have to pay for the repair or replacement of a monument. "If they give any of the government or property of any of them, they should pay it," said Mullis, a Republican from Chickamauga. Mullis stated that he proposed the Seanad Bill 77 without "protecting certain monuments, that is to protect all monuments." Still, its proposal does not fall less than a week after your red ribbon vandals have been placed on a 30-foot obelisk by declaring the decatur soldiers of Decatur. Mullis made clear he believes that monuments must be left alone. "We need to settle and respect the wishes of our former ancestor of any kind of city whose idea was important at that time," he said. Bills are trying to remove or give local governments the right to reach the Confederate monuments in recent years, but they have gone anywhere in the General Assembly. However, Renitta Shannon, Democratic Decatur, State House filed 175 changed the use of money or public property to show Confederation monuments unless they are located within museums. "It's time for these symbols to come down," she said. "This bill is not just about the rehabilitation of Georgia's black taxpayers. Bad use means money paid by a taxpayer to commemorate the Confederate culture that I do not need to pay to support recognized symbols of my own break." This bill would affect the display of Common flags or any other Confederation emblem on private property. The Shannon project would end the state law that preserves the engraving on Stone Mountain, which sponsors the United States Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Stone Mountain would be a state park instead of a Federal souvenir, but the bill does not ask for demolition of their engravings, Shannon said. Across the hall in the Seanad, Mr. Senna Elena Parent, Atlanta Democrat, after proposing the Seanad Bill 51, which would endeavor to make up the federation monuments up to local governments. The legislation would enable the cities, counties or other organizations with public monuments to decide locally whether the monuments should be relocated, concealed or removed. The two democratic bills would make a measure in 2001 that made the restoration of the flag of the state of Georgia's state and protect all the Confederate monuments in the state. The state banner of Georgia's state bills would not change. While many state labor forces are likely to resist the changes to allow Confederate markers to be removed, Shannon said the majority of the Georgians believe that it is time to stop defending the monuments. "There is no reason for public tax dollars to come to well-established hate symbols," said Shannon.

Recurring Stomach Pain? It Could Be Abdominal Migraines
Abdominal migraines are fairly common, and underdiagnosed in children. One expert shares the symptoms to watch for and how to treat this ailment.
By Risa KerslakeFeb 12, 2022 1:30 PM

When you think of migraines, head pain likely comes to mind. A migraine is a neurological disease that can bring on nausea, vomiting and light sensitivity. Its main symptom is agonizing head pain. But, it turns out, this ailment can inflict the abdomen as well, particularly in children.
"[Abdominal migraines] are fairly common and pretty underdiagnosed," says Lindsay Elton, a pediatric neurologist in Austin, Texas. "Families will come in and say they thought their kid was getting a lot of stomach bugs, but it was happening too regularly for that to make sense."
What Are Abdominal Migraines?
Abdominal migraines aren't like typical headache migraines. In fact, people who have abdominal migraines rarely even have head pain. Instead, the pain is located in the belly, usually centered around the belly button. It's often described as an achy or sore feelings, like a stomach ache, but it can feel different depending on the person.
Abdominal migraines affect 0.2 to 4.1 percent of children. "We tend to see them in younger kids, usually elementary school-aged, and up until early middle school," says Elton. It's rare to see them occur earlier, but it does happen.
Abdominal migraine attacks tend to get better as kids get older, sometimes disappearing completely. But about 70 percent of kids will go on to have classic migraine headaches.
Pre-adolescent boys tend to have higher incidences of migraines, but as kids progress through puberty, more girls are affected by migraines, and boys tend to grow out of them, according to Elton.
"It would be interesting to know what that looks like with just pure abdominal migraine attacks," says Elton, "[whether] those kids skew out to a higher incidence of migraine headaches in girls; I would imagine it does."
Doctors don't know exactly what causes abdominal migraines, but the ailment might be due to shared neurotransmitter systems from the brain and gut. "Your gut has a huge number of nerve endings and serotonin receptor sites, just as in the brain," Elton explains. And the same receptor stimulation that happens in the brain with headache migraines likely occurs with abdominal migraines, only in the gut.
Diagnosing Abdominal Migraines
There isn't a specific diagnostic test for abdominal migraines. Instead, family history, symptoms and prior testing are all considered. There is a family history of migraines in 34 to 90 percent of kids who have abdominal migraines, according to a 2018 peer-reviewed study in Dove Press .
If a child hasn't had a GI workup, many neurologists will make a referral in order to rule out other possible causes, such as Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome and cyclic vomiting syndrome. GI specialists might do an endoscopy, ultrasound, blood work or stool studies.
According to the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition (ICHD-3), to meet the diagnostic criteria for abdominal migraines, a child has to have:
Five or more attacks of abdominal pain lasting between two and 72 hours
No symptoms in between episodes
Two of the three characteristics of: midline or periumbilical location, dull or sore pain, and moderate to severe intensity
Associated symptoms such as lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting or pallor (looking pale)
Symptoms aren't caused by some other explanation
"The diagnosis isn't a difficult diagnosis. It has clear diagnostic criteria, but you do actually have to sit down and take a history from somebody," says Elton.
Managing Triggers Is Key
Good self-care is the best prevention for abdominal migraines. Sleep, nutrition and hydration go a long way in managing the symptoms. "Staying well-hydrated is of paramount importance," says Elton. Sometimes, the only prescription her young patients leave with is a daily water intake goal. With these lifestyle changes, she thinks half of her patients' symptoms become significantly improved.
Stress is often a common trigger as well. There haven't been many studies on using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help lessen abdominal migraine attacks in kids, but some research supports CBT for treating migraine headaches in children.
Many children with abdominal migraines also have a significant motion sickness history, says Elton. Oftentimes toddlers and young children with motion sickness will go on to develop headaches and recurrent migraines. "There is a link there, but we don't exactly know what it is," Elton adds.
Certain foods can also be triggers. Food preservatives such as MSG, dyes (red dye in particular) and nitrates seem to cause migraines, as well as tyramine, which is present in parmesan and other aged cheeses. If your child is having frequent episodes, you might consider removing these from their diet for a few weeks, one at a time, and see if migraine attacks become less frequent or less severe.
Other Ways to Treat Abdominal Migraines
The sooner you can treat migraines, the sooner you can prevent symptoms. Over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers such as Tylenol and ibuprofen, or anti-nausea medications can be great options.
Prescription medications for migraines are generally safe and effective. Daily preventative medications are usually reserved for kids who have more than four attacks in a month, or whose attacks last for several days or cause them to miss school, says Elton.
Certain supplements have been reported to have some success in treating migraine symptoms. While magnesium is backed by the American Migraine Foundation, it can cause stomach upset, which makes Elton more hesitant to use it with her patients. Vitamin B2 might help prevent migraine symptoms according to a 2021 Nutritional Neuroscience study. According to Elton, there's no data showing its usefulness for abdominal migraines in particular, but it may help some children and it's considered a low-risk medication to try.
Demystifying abdominal migraines and receiving a diagnosis is important, Elton says, because it can make the pain less scary and ease concerns in parents about their children. It's also a vital step toward valuable treatment. "To feel like you have a handle on it and a game plan is quite helpful," Elton says.

Martin Garnar, in his presentation "Copyright: The Ethical Imperative for Librarians," discusses the evolution of the American Library Association's Code of Ethics as an indicator of the changing relationship between librarianship and copyright education. Updates to the Code of Ethics, and in particular the 2014 adoption of an interpretation of Article IV, offer a vision of librarians as active parties in the discussion of intellectual property rights. This interpretation includes a series of statements about what librarians "should" do in their roles as information professionals in order to navigate copyright within their roles and interactions with users, and to uphold a fair balance between rights holders and users.

Rivers restates commitment to complete Ogoni-Opobo-Andoni Unity road
By Onyema Godwin - Port Harcourt On Nov 26, 2020
The Rivers State Government has restated its commitment to complete the Ogoni-Opobo-Andoni Unity road project within the lifespan of this administration.
The State Governor, Nyesom Wike, reaffirmed his commitment to the project when the Amayanabo of Opobo Kingdom, King Dandeson Douglas Jaja led a delegation of Chiefs, Elders and Women Leaders on a courtesy visit to Government House, Port Harcourt.
The visit was to inform the governor and also invite him to be their special guest of honour at the planned Opobo Kingdom 150 years anniversary celebration that will hold between December 24 and 28, 2020.
The Governor said the unity road project is important to his administration, which is why it must be completed and also to fulfil the promise he made to the Amayanabo that his people would drive home by road this December.
"The road to Opobo Town must be completed. It is a project that is key. I take it personal because I can't be governor and it is not done.
"I had promised to make it possible for Opobo people to travel home by road this December. I will do everything humanly possible to fulfil that promise," he said.
The Unity Road project was conceptualised to enable the predominantly Andoni-Opobo communities largely riverine to be able to travel by road to their communities.
Governor Wike also directed the state Surveyor General to commence surveying and measuring of the land in Opobo kingdom that was recently reclaimed by the State Government so that the land can be allocated to the benefitting families.
Wike expressed regrets that Nigeria hardly rewards hard work and people who have contributed so much to further its growth, noting the landmark achievements of Prof. Sylvanus Cookey when he was the Vice Chancellor of the University of Port Harcourt.

According to the governor, Opobo people must continue to protect their rich history and not do anything to undermine it assuring them of government's support towards the success of the activities to celebrate the 150 years of the establishment of Opobo Kingdom.
The Governor who noted that the Amayanabo of Opobo Kingdom and his people have been very supportive of his administration and conducted themselves peacefully urged them to continue in their support and be assured that they will not be disappointed.
Earlier, in his presentation, the Amayanabo of Opobo kingdom, King Dandeson Douglas Jaja noted that the recent victory of the state government at the Supreme Court over the disputed Suku Oil Well on the Bayelsa-Rivers States' boundary is another feat for Governor Wike saying that it has added to other giant development strides that have been driven to change life and landscape of the state.
King Jaja who is also the Chairman of Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council said Opobo Kingdom and the people have lined up several activities to celebrate Opobo Kingdom as they mark 150 years of its establishment.
He told Governor Wike that the people have invited him to be their Special Guest of Honour on the 28th December 2020 when there shall be a symbolic display of the landing of King Jaja of Opobo on the shore of a new kingdom.

WHAT HAVE I LEARNED ABOUT GARDENING IN TEXAS SO FAR?
These are some key points if you should make yourself a garden in Texas.
-MULCH! You need to mulch all open soil because the soil becomes densely packed by the hard and heavy rain, nutrients are washed away, and the mulch retains moisture and screens the ground from the strong heat.
-Coriander bolts really fast. Like in three weeks fast!. Even slow bolting kinds.
-I have started to accept palmtrees. Specially the Cycads (which actually are not palms), like in this picture. They are really easy growing/going plants who can take a lot and still look good. Be aware that the seeds are very poisonous for dogs!
-The weather changes in seconds! We thought that the Scandinavian mountains was deceitful? Visit us a day with a tropical storm!
-Flowers can smell too much. Like this Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides). Though I feel ungrateful when I write it down black on white.
-Everything grows very fast in spring. Like this cucumber.

Home Macau Parliament Finalizes Vape Product Prohibition
Macau Parliament Finalizes Vape Product Prohibition
Jim McDonald
Dec. 1 update
Macau's ban on vaping products will take effect Dec. 5, according to Macau Business.
Aug. 30 update
Yesterday the Macau Parliament passed the final version of the bill banning the manufacture, distribution, sale, import, export, and transport in and out of Macau of vaping products. The bill passed unanimously.
The law will take effect three months after it is published in Macau's Official Bulletin, according to Macau Business---presumably before the end of the year.
The Macau Legislative Assembly today approved the first draft of a bill that will, if passed, ban sales of all vaping products in the wealthy Chinese semi-autonomous region. The proposed law would prohibit manufacture, distribution, sale, import, export, and transport in and out of Macau.
The Macau Executive Council announced in January that it planned to propose a sales ban this year. On May 27, the government presented its draft bill, which includes proposed fines of 4,000 Macanese pataca (MOP) (about $500 U.S.) for individual offenders, and fines from 20,000-200,000 MOP ($2,500-25,000) for businesses.
The draft bill does not (yet) prohibit personal use or possession, but the ban on import and transport from China would make acquiring products impossible without breaking the law.
Some legislators want to also ban personal possession
During today's debate of the bill, some members of the Legislative Assembly said the government should extend the ban to cover not just commerce, but also individual possession, according to Macau Business. Other assembly deputies were rightfully worried that the proposed law would encourage smuggling.
The bill will now be assigned to legislative committees before returning to the full Legislative Assembly for final debate and passage.
Macau is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, located at the western edge of the Pearl River estuary—about 40 miles by air or boat from Hong Kong (also a Chinese SAR) to the east. Macau is a major resort city with one of the world's largest gambling industries. The city has 680,000 residents living on just 12.7 square miles of land.
Macau's neighbor Hong Kong passed a ban on vape sales last October. The law took effect April 30, as vapers scrambled to stock up on products and the government boasted of arrests and product seizures.
Many other Asian countries have passed similar outright vape bans. China itself has chosen to regulate vape sales—a process that began last November when control of the country's massive vaping product industry was handed to the state-owned tobacco monopoly administration.

In last issue's article, we went over a time that was both magical but tumultuous for the video game & arcade industry – the height of the Golden Age of 1980-83. There were more important releases to cover for an overview article like this than we could fit into print, so the rest of the 80s were left for now.
That brings us to 1984. That was popular as a political book but also was a paragrim shifting year for video games as Japanese companies began to truly make their mark on every aspect of the industry. The crash that had taken place in 1983 badly damaged the reputations & sales of American companies, who had bled out millions of dollars instead of making them. This resulted in many individu- als & companies leaving the game business to pursue other opportunities. For the 800lb gorillas that had been dominating for the past decade, massive changes would also take place.
In June, Warner Communications would end up selling most of Atari Inc. to Jack Tramiel, former CEO of Commodore. Warner maintained control over the arcade division, now named Atari Games while the home division would begin a strong focus on 16-bit computing with the Atari ST line (the Atari 7800, designed by Ms. Pac-Man creators GCC, was ready for a release but would end up being delayed for two years thanks to this sale).


Mr Green is one of the most recognised online casino brands at the moment so when we heard they had plans to launch a bingo product, we were more than a little excited.
However, that excitement soon turned to a facepalm, head in your hands moment when it was revealed who the software supplier was to be.
It was on Halloween that the announcement was made, but it seems like one more fitting for April Fool's to us. What are Mr Green thinking?
Any of the bingo software providers had to be better than Cozy Games and each would likely have been putting together a pretty impressive package to seal the deal with Mr Green. We wonder then what Cozy Games have promised to secure the deal?
Whatever it is, the chances are that they are highly unlikely to deliver. However, with the current state of affairs for those that own white labels on the software, it could be that we are going to see a number of site closures over the next few months and chances are, those sites will be redirected to Mr Green to try and improve the figures.
What Does Cozy Offer Mr Green?
For players who do choose to try the bingo offering from Mr Green, if it does launch on the Cozy Games software, at least they will have quite the choice when it comes to bingo variants.
It's the only plus point with this software, the number of different bingo variants on offer.
That said, recent changes to the minimum deposit and withdrawal amounts have made the sites a slightly more attractive option. However, without the no deposit required bonus on offers, the players aren't flocking as they once were.

Purrfect Friends Treat Packages for Christmas – Calling All Cat Lovers!


in 1992 clint eastwood directed the academy award winning film, Unforgiven. in 1995 he directed The Bridges Of Madison County, based on the ginormous best-selling book of the same name. however, what many film goers missed was the film mr. eastwood made in between those two. in 1993 he directed A Perfect World.
in the 1960s Butch Haynes (costner) escapes from prison and during his first few hours on the run, kidnaps phillip, an eight-year-old boy. the new travel partners head off with texas ranger, red garnett (eastwood) and his team searching for them.
not only is this a film that gets forgotten when people discuss eastwood directorial efforts, but the film provides one of kevin costner's best performances of his career (to go along with Bull Durham and Tin Cup). also, being 1993 it was pretty much right in the middle of that 10 year span in which costner was the king of hollywood. from 1987(The Untouchables) to 1997(The Postman - Waterworld was the first big hit to his reign and this one pretty much put an end to it).
the absentee fathers for both characters (haynes and the kid) and the rough childhood for haynes creates an obvious father/son bond between the two rather quickly. and both actors really do great work here.
phillip (t.j. lowther) is quiet and attentive and naive and curious. growing up in a secluded and restrictive jehovas witness household this new freedom that haynes allows him is exciting at first.
as for haynes, costner is able to play the edge really well. we know he would never hurt phillip (he is actually very protective of him and all children). but when any adults are in the picture, we are always aware that things can turn in a second.
while the pursuit is definitely a part of the movie (and an important one), the cops-after-criminals/cat-and-mouse game isn't what this movie relies on. eastwood recognizes that the film really does rise and fall with the relationship that develops between the young boy and costner's character during their time on the run. and that is why the film works as well as it does!

Over 5,000 kickstart the new decade with triathlon fitness challenge
British Triathlon and GO TRI teamed up with Angellica Bell and Sport England to help get the nation active through the swim, bike and run fitness challenge, Tri January.
Nearly 3,000 individuals signed up to take part in Tri January 2020 as a way of kickstarting the decade by getting active. Participants in the campaign were given a bingo card of health and fitness challenges to complete in January, including to get active during a lunchbreak and eat five-a-day.
Above: Participants were given a bingo card to complete
Delivered alongside Sport England's 'This Girl Can' campaign to help more women to take part in sport and physical activity; just under 65% of Tri January participants were female. The campaign also engaged a variety of ages, with participants ranging from 7 to 78 years.
A separate bingo card for children and young people was produced to help engage them and their families, including an additional 2,500 children at 27 schools across the country who took on the challenge together.
One of the schools which took on Tri January was Copthill School, Stamford where each class was set the challenge of filling in a card, with five children needing to have completed each challenge before the class could tick it off. The school are now hoping to organise a duathlon to continue to engage children in multisport activity.
Participants were set the challenge of signing up to a GO TRI Event or Active Session to help provide the motivation to continue exercising beyond January.
British Triathlon and GO TRI have also worked with local event organisers to provide a series of discounts to events throughout 2020 as part of a training guide that will support participants to continue to an active lifestyle.
GO TRI is British Triathlon's entry-level programme and is tailored to introducing new people into the sport with accessible and affordable events, as well as GO TRI Active Sessions and the GO TRI Gym Challenge. Following Tri January, the GO TRI Community consists of over 36,500 people being helped to get active through swim, bike and run activities with GO TRI.
Above: Pupils from Copthill School, Stamford
Jenny Vincent, Head of Participation at British Triathlon, said: "After the success of Tri January last year we were really excited to see what 2020 would bring.
"Our aim as an organisation is to deliver great experiences through swim, bike and run and, with the support of Angellica and This Girl Can, we've been able to reach new audiences through Tri January, giving more people the opportunity to be introduced and engaged in the sport.
"With January now over, we're really looking forward to hearing how participants continue to take their next steps with the training guide and events and activities across the country."

Strawberry plants are classified as a forb or herb. Forb/herb plants are ones that don't have significant amounts of woody tissue above the ground but are still vascular. Their lack of woody tissue causes them to be relatively short (their stems will not thicken and stiffen to support tall growth like non-forb/herb plants will).
Additionally, the presence of perennating buds on strawberry plants further causes them to fall within this category of plants. These perennating buds allow the strawberry plants to survive the winter and produce strawberry flowers again in the spring. More specifically, perennating buds are ones that are formed prior to unfavorable conditions (i.e. winter) and then die back when the cold hits. The buds are supported throughout the dormant winter period and then come to life again in the spring. They are supported and formed within the strawberry plant crown.
The multiple species of strawberry plants native to North America have quite an extensive range. View the graphic below to gain perspective on just how versatile and widespread strawberries are.
Hello, we are big gardeners but have never grown strawberries. We bought one strawberry plant in the late spring and put it in a large outdoor container. Can I transplant it at this time or possibly a month from now to a larger outdoor bed to overwinter so there will be room for runners next spring? I have read the soil requirements so will be setting up a new bed in the next week or so. Can you give me any pointers?
Yes, you can transplant it, but I would recommend waiting until September at the earliest. Root development does best in the spring and fall! Good luck!

A firm has just entered the final stages of the Dyson Awards thanks to this visor with lights and inbuilt indicators.
Blink hopes to increase rider safety by making the indicators more visible than usual, and by 'humanising' the rider thanks to a small light which illuminates the rider's face.
The helmet visor looks to solve two problems; firstly, it helps make the rider and their intentions more visible. Some times with bikes the leaning angle obscures the indicators which makes it hard for other motorists to see you at a glance. The visor indicators are less likely to be obscured and they add another set to the bike. Secondly, it helps to humanise the rider, bikers don't always have the best reputation with car drivers, which makes it easy for them to be seen as a faceless group, particularly since all the safety gear obscures the person. This visor slightly illuminates the riders face helping to remind drivers that it is a real person riding the bike.
The helmet visor gives the motorcyclists a third more visible set of indicators which wirelessly connect and integrate with the existing motorcycle indicator electronics. The indicator controller sends a signal that sensors in the visor pick up telling it when to indicate. It allows more light to shine from the motorcycle improving the visibility of the rider and making them more eye catching. The design is aimed at sports bike riders so will easily fit into that market. This product is compatible with many helmets.

JCL Board OKs 2011-12 Allocations
[by Shiela Steinman Wallace]
On Tuesday, June 28, the Jewish Community of Louisville's Board of Directors approved the recommendations of the Planning and Allocations Com-mittee for allocations from the 2011 JCL Annual Campaign to Israel, Louisville's Jewish agencies and the national agencies that sustain and support Jewish life.
The Planning and Allocations Committee, with Joe Hertzman as chair and Jay Klempner as vice chair, is a very diverse group, with representatives from all parts of the community. They heard presentations from each group that requested an allocation and were respectful of the agencies and each other.
Hertzman said the committee approached its task with a lot of feeling, analysis and accountability. "Every dollar in this community has to be accounted for," he said.
This year, the committee conducted a mid-year review, he explained, during which they received updates from the major agencies and synagogues on how they were progressing toward the goals they set forth when they received their allocations last year.
Klempner described the committee's deliberations for the allocations process as "very good dialogue amongst the committee members." At the final meeting, he continued, "We discussed both the pros and cons of everybody's requests, and I think all the final decisions were made in a very open atmosphere."
"At the end of the long evening," he continued, "I think the entire committee did a very good job." The committee's final recommendations gave most of the agencies the dollars they requested.
"There were some exceptions," Klempner added, but the group reached a general consensus, although it was not unanimous, and "everybody received an amount that was appropriate with the dollars that we had available to allocate."
The Planning and Allocations Committee was charged with deciding how the $2,329,770, raised by the 2011 Annual Campaign by the date of the committee's final meeting, would be distributed.
This year has also been a challenging one financially for many people, as they struggle with a sluggish economy and down job market. Many people responded to the increased need, with 240 donors increasing their pledges to the Campaign adding $179,144 to the total. Nearly 130 people were unable to maintain their prior levels of giving. As Community went to press, there were still some people who had not made their commitments to the 2011 Campaign. Pledges are still welcome and can be made online by clicking here, by calling 451-8840 or by sending a check to JCL Annual Campaign, 3630 Dutchmans Ln., Louisville, KY 40205.
"In today's difficult economic times," said JCL President and CEO Stu Silberman, "to have a Campaign equivalent to last year's is a good show of confidence and a tribute to the hard work of our Campaign volunteers and staff." Ralph Green chaired this year's Campaign.
With this total and some changes in the Community Health Plan and a reduction in the amount of money spent on the Campaign itself, the 2011-12 allocations include an increase of nearly $9,000 to Israel. Funding for the Partnership with Israel program, which pairs Louisville with the Western Galilee for programs in arts, culture, education, medicine, tourism, business and more, is included in this amount.
The allocations also include a 23 percent increase in funding for Jewish education, including a one-time grant to the Louisville Hebrew School for a Jewish educator.
There is also a $3,000 increase in funding to the successful birthright israel program, which provides Jewish college students and young adults a free trip to Israel, which strengthens their Jewish identities and their connection with Israel and the Jewish people.
In addition, there a $10,000 allocation to the Foundation for Jewish Camp, an organization that promotes and supports Jewish camping experiences as a way of helping children build strong Jewish identities. This allocation funds a matching grant that will enable the JCL to receive dollars from the One Happy Camper program to provide financial assistance for Jewish children who are attending Jewish summer residence camps for the first time.
Both Hertzman and Klempner stressed that the committee's focus on accountability will continue going forward. Hertzman described it as "a change in culture. We're allocating hard earned dollars and the community wants to know that they are being allocated fairly and used as they are intended."
Klempner, who will continue as Planning and Allocations Chair next year, envisions some changes, "particularly in the committee's planning aspect."
"We, as a community, need to understand the needs of the community," he said, "which are different from the wants. As part of the planning aspect, I envision … a process of staying in touch with the agencies that receive funding to see how they're doing on the programs and services they wanted funding for to see that they are meeting the desired outcomes that they put in their proposals and presentations."
That the community can do in the future depends on the success of the Campaign. "If the Annual Campaign does well," Klempner said, "then the community does well. It's important that not only the community, but the donors who make up the Annual Campaign, feel and see that their dollars are being used to meet the community needs first and then the community wants." With a commitment to action and transparency, Klempner hopes to provide donors "a real good reason to give."
"We also need to recognize that we are growing a community," Hertzman added, "and the JCL is a positive force. We're making a lot of progress, and doing a lot of good things. We're moving past many of the challenges of the merger."
In addition to the co-chairs, Hertzman and Klempner, members of the 2011-12 Planning and Allocations Committee are Shellie Benovitz, Leigh Bird, Julie Ellis, Debbie Friedman, Angeline Golden, Ayala Golding, Richard Goldwin, Katherine Heise, Roy Hyman, David Klein, Glenn Levine, Chaim Litvin, Craig Lustig, Carolyn Neustadt, Mark Oppenheimer, Susan Rudy, Denise Schiller, Hunt Schuster, Joan Simunic, Larry Singer, Steven Snow, Alan Ungar, Leon Wahba, Jacob Wishnia and William Yesowitch.
JCL President and CEO Stu Silberman, Chief Financial Officer Jamie Pillsbury and Vice President Sara Wagner worked closely with the committee.


Living... more than 250 years after he was born in Sleepy Hollow, New York. Crane fought in the American Revolution and was later killed while beheading the Headless Horseman (the Horseman got him as well). Now it is the 21st Century and he has been mysteriously revived.
Profession... police officer. Albeit the oldest, strangest member of the Westchester County force. Back in the late 1700s, he was a history professor before spying for the colonies during the Revolution. Now he has to stop the Headless Horseman, who has also been resurrected, and the three other Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Interests… learning about the occult, the supernatural, and the strange new world of the 21st century. He sees multiple Starbucks on each block and asks, "Is it a law?" It's a good question.
Relationship Status... married to Katrina Crane, a nurse during the American Revolution. She is the reason for his resurrection. After he was wounded by the Headless Horseman, she placed a spell on him to keep him alive. And when she appears to him in a dream, he learns she may be alive, too – trapped between this world and the afterlife.
Challenge... preventing the coming Apocalypse alongside his new partner, Lt. Abbie Mills. Her old partner and mentor, Sheriff August Corbin, was killed by the Headless Horseman. But before the sheriff's death, he kept detailed records of the supernatural history of the town. With Crane's firsthand knowledge, he and Lt. Mills can work together to stop these scary new forces that are decapitating the citizens of Sleepy Hollow.
Personality... blunt, brilliant, brave, and bafflingly serious. Subtle humor made significant strides while he was underground. Abbie is initially the only person who doesn't think he's crazy, and for that he remains loyal to her. Though he's confounded by modern day America, he doesn't let that stop him from completing his mission to prevent the Apocalypse. He killed the Headless Horseman once and will stop at nothing to do it again.

Hundreds of Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians will travel to Washington DC from over 20 states on June 5, 2013. Community members will share stories, visit their legislators, and hold a Rally on the steps of the United States Capitol.
America needs an immigration process that puts families first. In Asian American, Pacific Islander, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities, families are the backbone of our identity. Whether we are workers or scholars, whether we are immigrants or are native to this land, families come first. Immigration reform must protect families by preserving the family immigration system that has added so much richness to this land so that no one has to wait for decades to be reunited with loved ones. Immigration reform must strengthen families by promoting the social, economic, and political integration of immigrant children, parents, and seniors. And immigration reform must keep families together in the United States and provide a meaningful path to citizenship for New American families.

In a Bid to Keep the $275 Million Guelph Treasure, Germany Appeals Nazi Restitution Case to the US Supreme Court
The medieval treasure has been locked in a bitter legal dispute for years.

The dispute over Germany's famed Guelph Treasure, and whether its 1935 sale by Jewish art dealers to the Prussian government was made under duress, could be headed to the United States Supreme Court. The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz, or SPK), which runs Berlin's state museums, plans to appeal to the country's highest court in an effort to prove that the US does not have jurisdiction in the case.
"The SPK is convinced that this was not a sale under duress due to Nazi persecution," the foundation said in a statement provided to the Art Newspaper. "It views these claims as unfounded. Regardless of this, the SPK is of the opinion that this case—concerning a historic transaction between Germans in Germany— shouldn't be heard in a US court."
A consortium of Jewish art dealers purchased the 82-piece Medieval golden hoard, originally from Brunswick Cathedral in Braunschweig, Germany, from the Duke of Brunswick, of the royal dynasty the House of Guelph, for 7.5 million Reichsmark in 1929.
They sold about half of the collection at a loss, for 4.25 million Reichsmark, to the Prussian state in 1935. The plaintiffs allege that Hermann Göring, later the Nazi Party leader, was involved in the purchase and eventually gifted the treasure to Adolf Hitler. Today, that part of the treasure, housed at the Bode Museum in Berlin, is said to be worth as much as $276 million. (The rest was sold to museums and private collectors.)

The restitution battle has been raging since 2008, when the heirs of the Jewish dealers brought their claim before Germany. The German Advisory Commission on Nazi-looted art's non-binding 2014 ruling found that "the sale of the Guelph Treasure can not be considered a forced sale" and attributed the drop in value to the onset of the Great Depression.
In 2015, the SPK filed a motion to dismiss a second lawsuit, filed in US court, invoking the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. A district court in Washington, DC, agreed to hear the case in 2017, a decision upheld in July 2018 by a US Court of Appeals, and again last week by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
"The SPK's desperation to avoid scrutiny of a 'sale' in 1935 by Jews to Hermann Goering speaks for itself," said the plaintiffs' lawyer, Nicholas O'Donnell of Sullivan & Worcester in Boston, to TAN. "The SPK's latest press release is just another instance of Germany pretending to care about the issue of Nazi-looted art while doing everything it can to stand in victims' and heirs' way and run down the clock until another generation passes away."
