Interfering in lion hunt gets activist prison term
By Kim Smith Arizona Daily Star
A Tucson animal activist was sentenced to eight months in federal prison Monday for interfering with U.S. Forest Service agents who were trying to capture mountain lions in Sabino Canyon two years ago.
Rodney Coronado will also have to spend three years on probation upon his release, pay $100 in restitution and stay away from activists involved in such groups as the Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation Front and Earth First.
U.S. District Judge David Bury told Coronado he wanted to send a message that if you use "force and violence in civil disobedience you are going to be punished for it; it's anarchy."
Coronado, 39, Matthew Crozier, 33, and Esquire magazine writer-at-large John Richardson were arrested in the spring of 2004 after authorities accused them of interfering with the mountain lion hunt.
Federal officials closed Sabino Canyon that spring because they were alarmed at a growing number of encounters between mountain lions and humans.
Agents with the U.S. Forest Service organized a hunt and initially planned to shoot the cats, but decided after a public outcry to trap and move them instead.
Coronado and Crozier were accused of digging up a trap and laying false scents to distract hunting dogs. They were later indicted on misdemeanor charges of interfering with a forest officer and depredation of government property, and a felony charge of conspiracy to impede or injure an officer of the United States.
The pair were convicted in December and were facing up to six years in prison Monday.
In sentencing Coronado, Bury said he took into consideration the man's criminal history. Coronado has spent time in prison for setting fire to a mink researcher's offices at Michigan State University.
He has also claimed responsibility for sinking two whaling boats and damaging a processing plant in Iceland in 1986. During an appearance on "60 Minutes," Coronado defended those who use tools such as arson to fight urban sprawl and animal abuse.
Coronado told the judge he was ready to accept full responsibility for his actions, but said they were meant as "nothing more than an act of civil disobedience, a protest."
They were committed "out of love and compassion for those mountain lions that I love," Coronado said.
Crozier said there is no danger of his going back to a "lifestyle of civil disobedience." He said he simply wants to have a normal life, one that includes his pregnant bride and a newly started business.
Bury opted to put Crozier, a Sedona resident, on three years' probation, saying he was impressed with what Crozier has done since his arrest.
In addition, Bury said he thought Coronado was the "impetus" for the event and Crozier was simply a follower.
Still, Bury said he wanted to mete out some punishment to remind Crozier that what he did went beyond civil disobedience. He ordered Crozier to pay a $1,000 fine and complete 100 hours of community service.
The judge also ordered Crozier to stay away from any environmental and animal rights activists who advocate violence for their cause.
The judge told Crozier, a recovering alcoholic, that if his wife wasn't enough reason to abide by the terms of his probation, he (the judge) ought to be.
If he drinks or violates his probation in any way, Bury said, he won't hesitate to send Crozier to prison.
Richardson, 51, pleaded guilty to one count of interfering with a forest officer in June and was sentenced to one day in jail.

Foot pain is not something any one of us eagerly anticipate with delighted anticipation. A day amidst the grasps of foot discomfort can be simply excruciating. Footwear that are as well tight, injuries, and disease are all possible root causes of foot discomfort. A few of these can be fixed easily, while others could require a visit to your doctor.


Rodney Alan "The Sheriff" Buford, (born November 2, 1977) is an American professional basketball player currently playing for the London Lightning of the National Basketball League of Canada.
Buford played collegiately for Creighton University and was selected by the NBA's Miami Heat in the second round (53rd overall) of the 1999 NBA Draft. After seeing limited playing time during his rookie season with the Heat, Buford moved to Italy starting the season with Basket Rimini, but joined the Philadelphia 76ers in December for the 2000–01 season. He then moved on to the Memphis Grizzlies, the Sacramento Kings, and finally the New Jersey Nets. Buford averaged 6.4 points per game in his NBA career.
Buford has also played overseas for the Greek European giant Panathinaikos BC during the 2002–03 season. He started the 2006–07 season in the Euroleague with the Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball club from Israel, but he was released in December due to discipline violations and poor form. After a few months, it was discovered that he had failed a drug test during his time in Maccabi Tel Aviv, his third violation in his career. He recently played for the Ukrainian team Azovmash Mariupol, a team for which he played the 2005–06 season, after being banned by FIBA for testing positive in use of cannabis before a Euroleague game while still playing for Maccabi Tel Aviv. Consequently he left the team in February 2007 after playing just one game. In March 2009 he played two games in Lebanon for Al Riyadi.
At the start of the 2009–10 season, he moved to Eisbären Bremerhaven of Germany's highest division Basketball Bundesliga. On 24 December 2009, Buford traveled to the US to attend to family business. He agreed to return in early January, but was not on the plane with which he was scheduled to arrive. All attempts by the team to contact him were unsuccessful and his contract was dissolved on 11 January 2010.
On September 19, 2011, it was announced that Buford had signed a deal with the Halifax Rainmen of the National Basketball League of Canada to play for the 2011-12 season. However, on November 14, the Rainmen traded him to the London Lightning for Tyrone Levett.

Infrastructure Australia and Africa
Infrastructure for the SKA requires two consortia, each managing their respective local sites in Australia and Africa. INFRA-AU and INFRA-SA have the huge task of taking care of all SKA infrastructure on continent wide scales.
What do we mean when we refer to Infrastructure in the SKA design?
The "Infrastructure" (INFRA) element as stated covers both the Infrastructure in Africa and in Australia. It includes all work undertaken to deploy and be able to operate the SKA in both countries. Infrastructure includes roads, buildings, power generation and distribution, reticulation, vehicles, cranes and specialist equipment needed for maintenance that are not included in the supply of the other elements. Infrastructure does not include access rights to the land, environmental protection or monitoring. Infrastructure does not include protection from external sources of interference. Infrastructure includes the provision of any site wide safety systems necessary for personnel and equipment safety.
Main objectives of the INFRA consortia
Primary goals of INFRA teams will be to minimise the amount of infrastructure & power required for SKA1 by re-using existing infrastructure & power as far as possible (and expanding where necessary) and collaborate with each other to follow a common engineering approach, share knowledge & provide lessons learnt through design & delivery of SKA pathfinders.
INFRA consortia challenges
Due to the nature of this Work Package, INFRA covers a wide range of activities and the INFRA Consortia will be eventually responsible for the design of a number of elements such as (non-exhaustive list): power, antenna foundations, routing and articulation, access to the site, water and sanitation, buildings, communications, vehicles; as well as in Africa for the dishes, the construction of a prototype antenna foundation.
More about the individual consortia

INFRA AU
Infrastructure Australia (INFRA-AU) is fundamental in supporting the other consortia as they endeavour to design and cost the SKA. INFRA-AU is in charge of designing and costing critical infrastructure, such as providing power to the site, costing telescope foundations, providing access to the telescopes themselves, and designing housing for the supercomputing facility. Other important areas INFRA-AU will be in charge of include the design of site-monitoring equipment (for weather and radio frequency interference), providing designs to implement water and sanitation to and on the site, vehicles for the construction and operations phase, and communications both on and to off site.

INFRA AU Consortium
The INFRA-AU team, led by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), working closely with Aurecon, have prepared a technically excellent team. The Australian members of the consortium have a strong track record of working closely together on SKA-related projects. Established relationships exist between key members, giving the consortium the ability to immediately begin productive work on the work package.
Having designed the ASKAP and MRO infrastructure on the Boolardy site, supervised the MRO infrastructure construction contract and worked on both sets of SKA bid documentation in 2005 and 2011, the INFRA-AU consortium understands how to ensure the design and delivery of infrastructure for SKA is effective and efficient.

From their history on the project, they fully comprehend the ultimate aims and importance of the infrastructure for SKA. With a detailed knowledge of the site and existing infrastructure, along with a clear understanding of the practicalities and complexities of working at the remote site in the Shire of Murchison. And with combined experience, the INFRA-AU Consortium also brings unmatched local knowledge in relation to the construction workforce profile, logistics, seasonal weather constraints and the cost and sourcing of materials and labour. In addition, this team have the required links with government departments to ensure that the other land acquisition processes are well integrated with the pre-construction design work.
As for Australia the task facing the INFRA-SA team is huge.

INFRA-SA
INFRA SA is fundamental in supporting the other consortia as they endeavour to design and cost the SKA. The INFRA SA Consortium will manage the successful delivery of the Stage 1 and Stage 2 infrastructure and power element design in South Africa on behalf of the international SKA Office. This includes the infrastructure power, routing, reticulation, access, water and sanitation, buildings, antenna foundations, site monitoring equipment (SKA1), as well as vehicles and communications on site.

The INFRA SA Consortium
The INFRA SA Consortium is led and managed by the SKA SA Infrastructure team. This small team has been working on the provision of infrastructure for KAT 7 and MeerKAT since 2007.
For the KAT 7 phase of the project, the SKA SA team completed the acquisition of the land, the design of the infrastructure for KAT 7 and the construction of infrastructure.
The SKA SA infrastructure team, with the assistance of South African Consulting Engineers, also completed the design, environmental impact assessment and various site characterisation studies for the MeerKAT infrastructure early in 2012. Construction is underway on site and is expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
INFRA-AU Consortium will work with the following organisations:
Aurecon, Australia
Horizon Power, Australia
Radio Quiet Zone (RQZ) Solutions, Australia
Rider Levett Bucknall, Australia
Contact information of individuals involved in the INFRA AU consortium can be provided by the INFRA AU Consortium lead Antony Schinckel.
As INFRA-SA is primarily just the SKA SA office, contact information of individuals involved in the INFRA SA consortium can be provided by the Consortium lead Tracy Cheetham.

Scarborough, Maine – Even as the federal government said it will impose stricter quality standards for genetic testing, Maine Molecular Quality Controls Inc. (MMQCI) announced the availability of a new line of controls in support of diagnostic tests for mutations associated with hereditary hemochromatosis. INTROL™ HH Panel I, INTROL™ HH Panel II, and INTROL™ HH Wild Type controls are part of the growing INTROL™ line of genetic controls produced by MMQCI, developer of the only FDA-cleared genetic control for cystic fibrosis testing.
The INTROL™ HH line of controls are the first commercially available quality controls for hereditary hemochromatosis, an autosomal recessive iron absorption disorder characterized by excess iron deposited in joints, heart, liver, and other organs. Untreated, hereditary hemochromatosis can lead to organ damage, and in extreme cases, death. Availability of the INTROL™ HH line of quality controls means that molecular tests for the genetic mutations associated with the disease can be achieved with greater accuracy and efficiency. Genetic testing can diagnose hereditary hemochromatosis before symptoms appear, and is more accurate than traditional biochemical testing, which can produce false negative and false positive outcomes.
During June the Centers for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration both announced initiatives to raise standards for and increase oversight of the use of laboratory developed tests, specifically related to molecular genetic tests. Since there are no manufactured FDA-cleared tests for hereditary hemochromatosis, all tests for the disease are laboratory developed, putting the burden of providing controls on the laboratory. INTROL™ HH is a new source of controls that can provide confidence in test results of laboratory developed tests for hereditary hemochromatosis.
In addition to hereditary hemochromatosis, MMQCI develops and markets quality controls supporting molecular diagnostic tests for other genetic diseases and disorders, including the only FDA-cleared genetic control for cystic fibrosis testing.

Q: SQL How to Get Total Number of Films Out On Rent? I'm practicing SQL with given results using MySQL Sakila database.
Here's one of the problems I'm struggling with now.
How many films are out on rent?
  Correct Result:   183
I'm inner joining inventory,film, and rental tables for this.
In inventory table, I have inventory_id, film_id, store_id, and last_update
In film table, I havefilm_id, title, description, release_year, language_id, original_language_id, rental_duration, rental_rate, length, replacement_cost, rating, special_features, last_update
And for rental table, I have rental_id, rental_date, inventory_id, customer_id, return_date, staff_id, last_update
And here's my SQL statement
SELECT
inv.film_id, COUNT(f.title) as numOfDVDsOnRent
FROM
rental AS r
    INNER JOIN
inventory AS inv ON r.inventory_id = inv.inventory_id
inner join film as f on inv.film_id=f.film_id

What I've got for the result so far was rows of total number of DVDs out on rent for each film...Something like this:

So, how can I get the correct result?

A: Please try the following...
SELECT COUNT( inventory_id ) as numOfDVDsOnRent
FROM rental
WHERE return_date IS NULL;

All the information to determine how many films are out on rent is included in rental.  We do not need to refer to the details about each film or about each item of inventory to determine this, so I have dumped the INNER JOINs.  Note : Where JOIN is not preceeded by a join type, an INNER JOIN is performed, so you can just type JOIN if you wish.
Thus all we need to do is count all the entries in rental where the entry has not been returned date.
If you have any questions or comments, then please feel free to post a Comment accordingly.

Q: Cloud Service Always On Not working I have a Web Api service running in Cloud Services in Azure. I noticed like many have here that the first call to the service seems to take forever (almost 1 minute) and subsequent calls are normal. I looked around and came about a few resolutions, one being adding a startup script to the Role Startup of the Deployment
REM *** Prevent the IIS app pools from shutting down due to being idle.
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:applicationPools -applicationPoolDefaults.processModel.idleTimeout:00:00:00

REM *** Prevent IIS app pool recycles from recycling on the default schedule of 1740 minutes (29 hours).
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config -section:applicationPools -applicationPoolDefaults.recycling.periodicRestart.time:00:00:00

As well as setting the AppPool's Start Mode Property to AlwaysOn. After making these changes, I am still seeing latency issues when the Cloud Service is initially deployed and the web service is hit. So what could be going on here? Do I need to write a script to "warm up" the web service on startup of the Cloud Service?

A: I had a similar issue, Isaac, and as you suggest, added several calls to the API after a new deployment (automated) so production users would not experience the delay.
I'm also curious if there is a better way.

A: You can use staging environments for zero downtime deployments. Deploy your app to staging slot and warm up there. When you feel ready, just swap. Azure will drain current connections and change the endpoints smoothly. Check this.

A: I use an Azure Scheduler Job that does a GET on my url every 5 minutes. You can schedule it however often you need. It also has auto retry on by default, and you can create actions for failure as well.


In 24 hours, I get to see my mom and sister after two years. We see each other and chat once a week over FaceTime (my mom's preferred method of communication) but I don't think that counts. This is also the first time they're visiting us since we moved to California and I've been scrubbing the floors on my hands and knees because I need everything to be "mom-proof" aka "how to avoid feedback on how to life your life, raise your pets, etc.". My mom is actually wonderful and I enjoy spending time with her. I think she likes M more than me at times, which if fine, it might be a Mother-in-law thing.
My mom doesn't like to cook, in fact she doesn't understand why I cook with such "heavy" cookware. This is also why I started to cook, early on as a child when my parents worked. It turned out to be the best thing I had ever done! Cooking became my lifeline, my thread that would become my connection to the past, to the present and to the future.
This passion fruit tart for example, I had never eaten or tried or even heard of this "tropical-flavored" fruit until I moved to America. It's bright and sunny tart filling that makes me happy every time I sink my teeth into it. Then I add ginger, a root I knew well enough as a savory and sweet ingredient. It can pack a fiery punch into every dessert it's folded in to such as the spicy ginger infused freshly squeezed sugarcane juice sold on the streets of Bombay. And so this passion fruit and ginger tart like many of the recipes on my blog, ties me to the different moments and events in my life that have shaped my thinking on food.
The pretty cake stand was provided by Martha Stewart and I did some urban foraging for my passion fruit (it's thankfully grown on my streets as much as the lemon and orange trees and my kind neighbors usually leave boxes on the sidewalk for people to grab.
Use whatever tart shell you'd like to but when blind baking, waterproof the surface using an egg white, it will increase the shelf-life of the tart.
Making passion fruit curd is very similar to lemon curd. Be gentle with the eggs while they're cooking and stir constantly to avoid curdling.
I don't like to grind the seeds with the pulp in a blender to extract the fruit because it can end up gritty and sometimes the color isn't as bright and smooth as I like it to be. Instead, I put all the pulp in a sieve set over a large measuring cup and stir the pulp aggressively with a spoon to release the liquid trapped inside the soft translucent yellow pulp. The liquid that is released will collect in the cup and I use that to work with.
To prepare the ginger juice, peel and grate a 4 to 5 inch piece of ginger root. Squeeze the pulp in a sieve over a small bowl and collect as much liquid as you can. If the starch in the liquid starts to settle at the bottom of the bowl, then stir it well to re-disperse the contents before using it.
Prepare a pot of boiling water. Place a large glass bowl over the pot, the level of the boiling water must be an inch below the base of the glass bowl. This allows the steam to heat the eggs evenly. Place the eggs and sugar in the bowl and using a hand whisk or handheld electric whisk, whisk at high speed for about 5 minutes until the eggs become pale yellow and light and fluffy. Whisk in the passion fruit, ginger, and butter. Whisk continuously, until the mixture transforms into a thick custard. Remove from heat and transfer to container. Keep aside until ready to use. The passion fruit curd can be prepared a day ahead in advance and refrigerated until ready to use.
To prepare the tart follow the instructions here for this lemon tart (they are exactly the same). You just need to use the passion fruit curd instead of the lemon tart.
After the tart is completely set and chilled and ready to be served, take the fruit pulp and sugar and mixing it in a bowl. Place the crème frâiche at the center of the filling in the tart and pour the sweetened fruit pulp on top. Serve chilled. This tart will stay good refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Livelihoods, basic services and social protection in Nepal
Written by Richard Mallett, Babken Babajanian
This paper is deliberately broad and ambitious, setting out to synthesise the available research on livelihoods, basic services and social protection in Nepal in order to establish our current level of knowledge as well as identify key gaps in our understanding. From a broad perspective, the review drills down into a set of three interlinked questions:
What has been the impact of the 1996-2006 armed conflict on livelihoods and services?
What are the policies and programmes supported by various government and international actors to improve people's livelihoods and address their imminent needs in the post-conflict period?
What have been the impacts of these interventions in Nepal's post-conflict period?
It is hoped that this paper contributes to an improved understanding of the evidence base on livelihoods, basic services and social protection in post-conflict Nepal, and aids decision makers to develop appropriate evidence-informed policies and programmes.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made a surprise visit to Beijing on Tuesday, marking the young despot's first trip overseas since he came to power in 2011. A readout from China's Xinhua news agency of his exchanges with Chinese President Xi Jinping indicated that the ground was being prepared for Kim and President Trump to hold talks over Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program.
"The issue of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula can be resolved," Kim said, according to Xinhua, "if South Korea and the United States respond to our efforts with goodwill, create an atmosphere of peace and stability while taking progressive and synchronous measures for the realization of peace." (Tellingly, though, not a single North Korean account had Kim invoking "denuclearization," the White House's stated goal for the Korean peninsula.)
The Trump administration greeted the news from Beijing as a positive sign for further diplomacy. President Trump indicated that he was looking forward to dialogue with Pyongyang — a marked reversal from last year's "fire and fury" bluster — and congratulated himself for applying the "maximum sanctions and pressure" that supposedly brought Kim closer to the table.
For years and through many administrations, everyone said that peace and the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula was not even a small possibility. Now there is a good chance that Kim Jong Un will do what is right for his people and for humanity. Look forward to our meeting!

Received message last night from XI JINPING of China that his meeting with KIM JONG UN went very well and that KIM looks forward to his meeting with me. In the meantime, and unfortunately, maximum sanctions and pressure must be maintained at all cost!
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert tweeted that Kim's visit "was an unprecedented, historic step in the right direction" and proof that Trump's "maximum pressure campaign is working." That may be the case, but it still remains profoundly unclear what concessions, if any, Trump may win in putative talks with North Korea. Here are three major questions that loom over the proceedings, should they take place.
Is "denuclearization" actually feasible?
Complete denuclearization is the administration's stated goal, but it is still a pipe dream.
The North Koreans have talked about denuclearization for years, but that has not stopped them from beefing up their nuclear arsenal and conducting numerous missile tests since Trump took office. As Kim and Xi posed for pictures in Beijing, a review of recent satellite imagery appeared to show a new North Korean reactor that could generate plutonium coming online.
For Kim, the threat posed by North Korean nuclear weapons is essential to his survival on the world stage, a deterrent to those who might actively entertain plans to instigate regime change. Now, after talks with both the South Koreans and the Chinese, Kim is trying to determine what leverage he may have in negotiations with the United States.
Kim "is starting a new game where he could make concessions on denuclearization," Yang Xiyu, a leading Chinese expert on North Korea, said to the New York Times. "At most, he will cut the grass, but he will not pull out the roots."
Even if Kim indicates a willingness to denuclearize, "he'll likely follow that up with a price that the United States should not be willing to pay," wrote Ankit Panda, an expert on Asia-Pacific security issues. That could include a drawdown of American forces in South Korea or even a broader withdrawal from northeast Asia. This would be welcomed in Beijing and Moscow, but rejected by most policymakers in Washington.
"It's worth remembering that Pyongyang's interpretation of a 'denuclearized Korean Peninsula' is not one where its arsenal has been 'completely, verifiably, and irreversibly' dismantled as Washington would like," Panda noted, "but one where it gives up its weapons in exchange for the United States withdrawing its nuclear shield from the Peninsula and leaving altogether."

What's at stake for China?
For Beijing, the Kim visit was an opportunity to reassert itself as the central player in any deliberations involving North Korea. It's also an important reminder to Trump that China's interests in the region are hardly the same as those of the United States, especially as Beijing and Washington draw lines in the sand ahead of a possible trade war.
Despite the reported frostiness between Kim and Xi — and the wider apathy toward North Korea felt by many Chinese — the two countries remain historic allies. Chinese television footage of the Xi-Kim summit showed the North Korean leader scribbling notes during their discussions, the junior scribe to the wiser, stronger mentor.
"Beijing is reasserting itself and looking to shape the agenda for the upcoming summits," Adam Mount, a senior fellow and director of the Defense Posture Project at the Federation of American Scientists, said to my colleagues. "Divisions between Beijing and Pyongyang were a major asset to Trump's pressure campaign," he said. Reinforcing their ties would weaken "Trump's hand in negotiations and diminish further the effectiveness of U.S. military threats."
A half-decade of somewhat tetchy relations with China, though, provided Kim the platform to emerge as a force of his own.
"Shutting China out and ramping up the rhetoric with the United States gave [Kim] the space and justification he needed to expedite the building of nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles," Jean H. Lee, a North Korea expert and fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington, wrote in an email to my colleagues. "Now, with a program he feels confident is a proven threat, he feels emboldened to force the region's leaders to treat him as an equal, not as the young son of a dictator who inherited power."
Will John Bolton undermine Trump?
The ascent of Bolton, the bellicose former diplomat tapped to become Trump's national security adviser next month, led critics to warn of a new warmonger in chief in the White House. Bolton has suggested that the United States should consider a first strike on North Korea and offer no concessions should the two sides meet.
Bolton's line may cut against Trump's instincts. The president's unorthodox foreign-policy positions have led him, for example, to question the seemingly permanent U.S. military presence in the region — something that hawks such as Bolton would never consider a bargaining chip.
"His appointment may increase the pressure on the Kim regime. But it may also make it more likely that the U.S. adopts a very skeptical attitude to any concessions offered by the North Koreans," wrote Gideon Rachman of the Financial Times. "On the other hand, Mr Trump is known to yearn for a 'deal of the century' that he can brandish as proof of his presidential prowess. He will not want Mr Bolton to get in the way."

An Extensive History of Betfred.com
Starting off as a single betting shop in the 1960s, Betfred has grown significantly over the past fifty years, as they now have more than 1,350 betting shops and over 10,000 employees worldwide. Betfred is one of the fastest growing online betting shops in the United Kingdom, especially when it comes to British horse racing.
This is probably partially due to the fact that they are known for having special bonuses and promotions that allure new customers to try out their site and for their innovative ideas when it comes to social media. If you want to know more about the history of Betfred and how their company has expanded over time, then please take the time to read through this article.
Fred & Peter Done
Fred Done, the man who is ultimately responsible for the development of Betfred, was born in Salford, England in 1943. Done's interest in bookmaking started at a very young age when his father, who was a part time bookmaker, had him go to the local bars and factories to collect football bets for him.
After high school, Done became Ernie Peters' assistant, as he was the most popular bookmaker in the city and Done wanted to learn from the best. Done worked side by side with Ernie for almost nine years before he decided that he was ready to set up his own bookmaking business.
Fred needed help to get his business off the ground, so he recruited his brother, Peter, to help him accumulate the necessary funds to make this shop a reality; he needed a little over $6,000. By the middle of 1967, they were ready to open up the first Betfred betting shop, which they strategically placed in the city they were born in: Salford, England. Most of their starting capital came from a bet that Done had placed in favor of England winning the World Cup that year.
Getting Their Feet off the Ground
Now that we know a little more about the founders of Betfred, we can dig a little deeper into the reasons why Betfred become so popular over the next several years. Done made his shop stand out among the other shops in England at the time, as he treated it as a formal business, always calling his customers "sir" and served complimentary drinks to them.
His hospitality helped Betfred expand in numbers but it also set a standard for betting shops in the future. By 1997, Betfred had over 100 betting shops across Europe and in less than three years, their number of shops nearly doubled. Done made sure that even as the company expanded that they still focused on what was most important: customer service.
Betfred was the first betting shop to pay their customers before the results of a competition were officially announced. In March 1998, Betfred paid all of their customers who had bet that Manchester United would win the Premier League prior to the game's conclusion. This was Fred Done's favorite team and he had confidence that they would win, which they subsequently did by one measly goal.
Continuing to Expand (Betfred.com is Born)
As the years went by, Betfred continued to expand, reaching over 500 betting shops by March 2005. In the meanwhile, Done saw a huge potential for growth in the online gambling market. He hired a group of professionals to develop Betfred.com, which all of his loyal customers who regularly came into his shops were excited to try out when it was officially launched in 2004.
Right from the start, Betfred has been dedicated to making sure that its customers are gambling responsibly and that's why they posted this to their website, "Our customer service teams are trained to deal with all aspects of responsible gambling and the following advice may be of interest. We can help you stay in control by setting deposit limits on your account either daily weekly or monthly. Please contact our customer service team to arrange a limit that suits you." With this they included a list of precautious one can take in order to prevent a gambling problem from developing.
Betfred.com offers anything you could ever need including an online casino including slot games, live casino games, in-play sports betting, bingo, poker, and much more. They also offer a live help feature that provides their customers with assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days of the year. Players can rest assured that any questions they have will be answered in a timely manner as Betfred makes that one of their top priorities.
One aspect to their site that was very unique is the Goals Galore Bonus coupon that they publish each week. This gives players an opportunity to pick which teams they think will score at no cost to them. According to a 2010 article from The Guardian, "Betfred remains an innovative business, as demonstrated by the recent introduction of the highly popular 'goals galore' coupon, where punters have to choose five games where they think both teams will score."
Two years after the Betfred website was launched, Betfred expanded into a mobile version of their site, giving players the opportunity to access their site anywhere on the go. Players use the same bankroll and are offered all of the same bonuses and promotion as they would if they were on their website.
Another way Betfred expanded was through purchasing The Tote in 2011, acquiring all of its 517 shops in the process, for just over $400 million. This expansion into the racing industry has proven to be very successful for Betfred.com, as it has attracted a completely new kind of sports bettors to their site. The Tote has actually been up for sale since the late 1990s, but it wasn't until Betfred decided to significantly increase their initial offers that The Tote's owners finally decided to accept them.
Relying on Social Media
Betfred can now be found on almost every social media website you can think of including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google Plus, and Twitter. Betfred actually has several different twitter accounts that focus on certain aspects of their site such as a page for bingo players and a page for golfing fans. They update players with the latest scoop on what's going on in the gambling industry while also notifying you of special promotions that are going on at the time.
Betfred.com received the Best Innovation in Social Marketing Award at E-Gaming Review's Operator Innovation Awards ceremony in 2013. Betfred.com was recognized for their dedication to social media to allure new customers to their site.
Sponsorships & Charities
Betfred is one of the main sponsors of the Sheffield and Kinsley Greyhound Stadium, Nottingham Greyhound Stadium, and the Owenton Stadium. They also sponsored the World Snooker Championship for four tournaments between 2009 and 2012. Although choosing to take a few years off from sponsoring them, Betfred decided to support them once again in 2015. Details on that partnership are provided for you in the section below.
Betfred's official charity is The Injured Jockeys Fund's "Jack Berry House." The sole purpose of this foundation is to raise enough money to open a state-of-the-art rehabilitation facility for injured jockeys that will provide them with any medical services they need.
This rehabilitation center will have a gym filled with the equipment needed for traditional physical therapy and a swimming pool for hydro-therapy. They will hire specialists to run these facilities and provide training programs for any current or aspiring jockeys that want to learn more information about proper nutrition, injury management, sports psychology, and other subjects that will help prevent serious injuries from occurring in the future.
Betfred has also donated to several other local and global corporations including the Harley Slack Fund, the Killing Cancer foundation, Manchester Children's Hospital, Northern Racing College, and the Retired Greyhound Trust to name a few.
Betfred in Recent News
In 2014, Betfred announced that they were partnering up with the Snooker's World Championship, which will be renamed Betfred World Snooker Championship until at least 2017. This competition always runs from the end of April to the beginning of May at the famous Crucible Theatre in Sheffield with over $460,000 going to the first place winner. The company expects that this esteemed event is going to bring them much needed publicity, as this event generally reaches over 300 million viewers across eighty different countries.
Betfred has recently been recognized in the media for their Summer Sizzler bonus offer that's new to their website. During the entire summer, they're offering various deals that will blow players away on all of the hottest events coming soon this summer including the Ashes, the British Grand Prix Royal Ascot, and the US Open.
Players are also going crazy for the opportunity to win a weekend for two to Dublin whenever they play the Irish Lotto on the site during the month of July. It's very rare that you hear of an online casino giving away luxurious trips as prizes, but it's something that Betfred has really focused on in these past couple years. We certainly look forward to watching them expand in the future and we can't wait to see what innovative ideas they come out with next.

Bentley books planes to bring in parts in event of no-deal Brexit
Posted on December 3, 2020 | by
Bentley has lined up five cargo planes to fly in car parts if there is disruption at the UK border in the event of a no-deal Brexit, in a marker of the deep concerns facing motor manufacturers as trade negotiations continue.
Companies from across the economy have expressed concern that imports could be disrupted for weeks if the UK and EU cannot agree a deal before 1 January, when the Brexit transition period ends.
Adrian Hallmark, Bentley's chief executive, said the firm had five 747 cargo planes on standby under a timeshare arrangement to avoid ports, which could quickly become congested if there is a cliff-edge change in trading rules.
Bentley, which is owned by Germany's Volkswagen, the world's largest carmaker by volume, has spent millions on preparations for Brexit, according to Hallmark.
"We're ready to jump off a cliff with a parachute that hasn't been tested," he said. "We'd rather not be jumping off the cliff with a parachute at all."
Carmakers typically try to avoid using air transport because it is much more expensive than land or sea, but they do occasionally use planes to ship parts when there are urgent requirements.
Jaguar Land Rover, the UK's largest carmaker, said in February that it had flown in some vital key fobs from China in suitcases when the start of the coronavirus pandemic caused shortages.
For the most part the UK's logistics network passed the test posed by the pandemic, but all traffic moving across the Channel will face new paperwork whether a deal is agreed or not, while carmakers including Bentley also need to invest heavily to develop new electric cars.
Bentley, whose factory is in Crewe, Cheshire, has also looked at routeing imports through two other ports aside from Dover, including Immingham in Lincolnshire.
Stockpiling parts in extra, rented warehouses is another way that Bentley and other car companies are trying to avoid stopping production. Bentley now has the parts to cover 14 working days of production without new supplies, up from the two days of stock it usually holds.
Bentley only makes about 11,000 cars per year, meaning that stockpiling and flying in parts – while expensive – should protect it from the worst of any disruption. These are much less appealing options for large-volume carmakers such as Jaguar Land Rover or Nissan, whose Sunderland factory is the largest in the UK and can produce more than 1,300 cars a day.
Hallmark said disruption at ports would be more damaging to Bentley than 10% tariffs, which would kick in on 1 January if there is no deal and trade defaults to World Trade Organization terms.
He said the company would try to find the "least worst balance" between raising its prices and absorbing some of the costs itself. Bentley cars start at £130,000 and special models can cost more than £1m, meaning it can absorb some extra costs in its thick margins.
For larger-volume, lower-margin carmakers, tariffs would be a disaster. Nissan has said tariffs would make its UK business model unsustainable, while PSA Group's chief executive has said the future of its Vauxhall plant in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, hangs on getting a good Brexit deal.
UK car industry forecasts suggest a no-deal Brexit would cost the sector £55bn by 2025 because of lost production.

I have the Britax Roundabout carseat with the "cat" cover. The cover is a little much for my taste but it doesn't show spills or cheerios. LOL It is very pricy but good up to 40 lbs. We should be able to use it until she is 12 since she is 18 mos and 18.5 lbs. It was the highest rated car seat on the market for safety when we purchased it last year.
It is easy to install (we don't have Latch on our current car but that seems to be pretty straight forward too) and comfy. The officer who checked my car seat installation gave me the thumbs up on the seat and the install so if I can do it, anyone can. Velcro holders keep the belts out of the way when I'm putting her in the seat. Strap adjustments are simple. There is a pad where the buckle is which keeps her from getting pinched or burnt, which is a big concern in FL. There are other raves about this car seat on the link I posted. I love this seat!
We also have the Britax Roundabout. Higher priced than most, but well worth the extra $$$$, for many of the reasons Cary listed. My favorite feature is the sturdy, non twisting straps. She can rear face to 30 lbs, which is well documented to be the safest position for a toddler. Other user friendly features include built in locking clips that help secure the seat, adjustable harness in the front(very nice for those of us who deal with snow suits), and a tether system, as well as the option to use the LATCH system if you're blessed with a new car. Can't say anything bad about it.
When my dd outgrew her infant carrier, we purchased the Britax Roundabout. I love the seat, and haven't had any problems since we started using it over a year ago. We do have the LATCH system in our truck, but still use pool noodles at the base of the seat to ensure a very secure fit. When she was rear facing, we also tethered the seat to the front passenger seat base. It is not easy to take the seat out since it is secured in many places, so we only take it out occasionally to clean it. I have taken the cover off and machine washed it easily, but it resists stains and dirt pretty well on it's own. The seat is incredibly comfortable for my daughter, and easy to get her in and out of. I love the strap adjustments and the pad that fits behind the belt connector - we've never pinched her legs or had to worry about the pieces becoming too hot in the sun. I highly recommend the seat, and feel that it was well worth the money.
We have the Britax Marathon because we were sure DS would be a big kid! It's pretty good, though I do have some gripes about the straps and how cumbersome they are to "click" shut. Overall, it's been a good car seat and we are pleased with it, though.
I would have liked one with a pattern, but BRUS didn't have any pattern except the colonial blue. I have not washed the cover, but have just sponged it clean. I would really like to throw it in the wash, but haven't done that, since it seems cumbersome to do.
If I were to buy a 2nd carseat for our other car, I probably would get a less expensive one. I think I saw an Evenflo one that was rated almost as highly as the Britax.
I have a graco one in my car and alpha omega one in DH's car. I love the Alpha omega. the strap get tangled a little but not much. As far as the graco one I do not like the round thing you put the seat belt in. I have pinched Bella's leggs more than once in there.
have the Evenflo Triumph. We really love it. It is VERY easy to adjust --I have put a couple of different toddlers in the seat and was able to re-adjust it easily. This seat got very high marks--has the panels inside to make it more damage resistant in a crash like the Britax have. Jamison is able to sleep easily--very comfortable. Highly recommend!
Fisher Price Healthy Care Deluxe gets an A-plus.
The Deluxe version does not have the fabric ruffle that can get food in it-that was the only complaint I found on Amazon.com before I bought it.
The tray has an inner tray that snaps out and goes in the dishwasher. You can also use it without the inner tray. Wipes up easy-there aren't any weird places for food to get stuck. I found it at Target.
We have the Fisher Price Healthy High Chair. I think that's what it's called. LOL. We only used it a handful of times because Kylie was too big for it, heheheh. It is VERY similar to the one Jenn described except ours has the ruffle that food can get into. Besides that, it's a great inexpensive highchair.
We actually have ths Simplicity Plus III high chair by EvenFlo. It folds up great and has a cute bear pattern. The material is easy to wipe off, but you can also throw it in the wash. It has five position adjustments and you can also adjust the height. My only complaint is that the arms (where the tray attaches) has seams where the plastic comes together, and food gets in there and you have to use a small brush to get the food out. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Can you explain non-ET1 agreements and what are the main features of conciliation?
Posted in : Seamus Says - Employment Law Discussion on 8 August 2018
Issues covered:
Q: "Can you explain non-ET1 agreements and what are the main features or benefits of conciliation?"
Seamus: The usual process is that you would contact the Labour Relations Agency, and you would advise them that you're at the stage where you're wanting to enter into a non-ET1 agreement. The Labour Relations Agency will, in general, take some details down.
They will make sure that there is some form of consideration passing between the parties. They will facilitate a meeting normally where both parties attend with the Labour Relations Agency. There will be a document produced, which is very similar to the conciliated agreement. But instead, it's called a non-ET1 because it's in advance of any proceedings being issued.
Scott: And the ET1 is the claim form that you use in a tribunal hearing.
Seamus: Yes. That kicks the proceedings off. The Labour Relations Agency will assist, but don't expect them to turn something around for you within 24 or 48 hours. You do need to give them notice. You need to be fair to them. They have a lot on. Usually within a week, 7 to 10 days, they'll have you down. They will provide advice. So they act as the advisor almost. They do provide advice to the employee. If the employee is happy to sign the agreement after that, then both parties sign the agreement, and it's legally binding as well.
Scott: And the employee loses all their rights to continue with their claim in return for whatever they've agreed to . . .
Seamus: Whatever the consideration is, yes.
Scott: I believe there's been some problems with the sound here. So we'll listen back to the recording and find out what we can do. We may have to do something extra for those listeners who have lost a bit of the sound there. I think it's to do with the Wi-Fi connection, but we'll see what we can do.

Placitas resident Tom Stueber enjoys admiring the solar photovoltaic system on his daughter's mobile home.
Albuquerque's Affordable Solar Group installed the system last March for about $9,000, thanks to generous state and federal tax credits, utility subsidies and a sharp drop in solar prices. It should pay for itself in about 12 years.
Public Service Company of New Mexico has been sending Stueber's daughter a $25-a-month check as a subsidy for helping the utility meet its renewable energy requirements, and as payment for excess electricity fed by the system back to the grid.
When the system sends electricity to PNM, the mobile home's electric meter runs in reverse to measure what the utility owes the customer, a process called net metering.
"I just love going out there and watching that meter spin backwards," Stueber said.
Before installing the system, Stueber's daughter and granddaughter consumed about $50 per month of electricity from PNM. Now, they pay $75 per month on the loan they used to buy the solar system. That includes the $25 check from PNM, so monthly costs remain about the same as before.
In addition, a 30 percent federal tax credit and another 10 percent state credit cut the system's cost from about $15,000 to $9,000.
With electricity savings and net metering, Stueber expects the system to pay for itself in about 12 years. And, as PNM electric rates rise, benefits should grow, because the mobile home's electric costs remain fixed at current levels, while PNM's reimbursements for excess electricity increase.
"The system is guaranteed for 25 years, so there are no recurring costs," Stueber said.
Stueber is among hundreds of New Mexicans taking advantage of the tax credits, subsidies and cheap panels to install photovoltaic panel systems on their homes and businesses.
But it's an open question whether the budding industry can gain enough traction to sustain its momentum without tax credits and subsidies in the near future. Both federal and state tax breaks are scheduled to expire on Dec. 31, 2016. And PNM's renewable energy incentive payments are rapidly declining, reflecting similar trends in other markets.
Substantially lower costs for solar panels, the core component of photovoltaic systems that convert sunlight to electricity, has driven down prices for installed systems to about one-third the cost from early 2010, said Ryan Centerwall, Affordable Solar general manager for installation business.
"For the average customer, it costs about $10,000 less to install a system compared to two-and-one-half years ago," Centerwall said.
Most industry veterans expect panel prices to drop further, thanks to a market glut caused by a flood of cheap Asian imports and depressed demand in Europe.
Installers also expect costs to drop for other photovoltaic components, such as solar mounting platforms and DC-to-AC inverters. In addition, workers should improve efficiency through more experience and training. Permitting and licensing costs will fall, and more low-cost financing options will become available, Centerwall said.
Still, price drops alone won't compensate for the lowering, or elimination, of tax credits and other incentives in 2016. Rather, installers are betting on net metering to keep the industry going in the future. That's because electricity prices are likely to increase in most markets, which means customers with solar power could get paid more for the electricity they send back to the grid, while paying a fixed cost for their own home-generated power.
Bassalleck and others say net metering is more important for industry sustainability than the utility incentives, known as renewable energy credits, that PNM and other electric companies pay to customers with solar. PNM launched its incentive program six years ago to comply with state mandates for more clean electric generation, but subsidy payments have decreased from about 13 cents per kilowatt-hour for homeowners with photovoltaic systems in 2009 to just 4 cents per kilowatt-hour today.
In its 2013 renewable energy procurement plan, PNM asked the state Public Regulation Commission to allow payments to keep ratcheting down through 2016, when subsidies would bottom out at 2.5 cents per kilowatt-hour.
Kumiko Styes, PNM's customer solar program manager, said 2,600 customers now participate in the program, and the number keeps growing despite declining incentives.
"This year, we'll sign up the largest number of customers since the program began," Styes said.
The incentives produce the least bang for PNM's renewable energy procurement buck. Under PNM's 2013 procurement plan, the utility earmarked about 44 percent of clean-energy spending on subsidies for customer-sited systems, but those installations will only provide about 10.6 percent of all clean energy procured.
Given its high cost and the fact that declining payments are not stunting the market, Industrial Energy Consumers want the PRC to end renewable energy "diversity requirements," which obligate PNM and other utilities to derive a percentage of their clean energy from customer-sited systems, said the group's general counsel, Peter Gould.
PRC Commissioner Jason Marks, whose term ends in December, said he believes the incentives should continue a few years more to allow customer-sited solar systems to reach "grid parity," or a price comparable to other electric generation.
Meanwhile, customers are benefitting from the best of all worlds, including price declines, net metering, tax breaks and subsidies.


Most of us work really hard just to achieve a full and satisfying life that we can be proud of & enjoy with our loved ones. Today, God wants to remind us that, we may craft the perfect plan for our future but it's always the HIS purpose that will prevail.
Anything we try to hold on to in this world, whether it be money, pleasures, prestige, or relationships, will eventually become a loss if we let it take the top position in our hearts where God is supposed to be.
God wants to remind us that "real wealth" can only be supplied by HIM. He is looking for people who can trust him COMPLETELY and has left a comforting promise of rock solid security & strong support in times of trial & testing.
God's ability to provide is not limited by what's happening around us. He can bless us anytime He wants to. So when He instructs us to give or be generous with others, we should follow Him by faith; confident that at the right time, in the right way, and at the right place, He will make a way for us to "stand" in the midst of our trials.


The crown prince's reference to 1979 was likely a nod to a tumultuous year for the country, in which Riyadh jostled with Iran for leadership of the Islamic world. Saudi Arabia's Shiite minority also staged a deadly revolt in Al-Hasa province which same year.
In response, the Saudi monarchy strengthened ties with the Wahhabi religious establishment along with restored many of its hardline stances. Wahhabism is actually a form of Islam which emphasizes the absolute sovereignty of God, bans the mixing of sexes in public along with places numerous restrictions on women.
In 2015, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud – alongside bin Salman – sought to introduce a brand new age of Saudi politics. along with in June, the king promoted bin Salman to crown prince, generating him heir apparent.
The two have cracked down on religious incitement, sanctioned the first music concerts in decades along with gradually granted women a growing number of rights — including the right to drive, which is actually set to take effect in 2018.
