Q: Is there a way through XCode or a third party tool to view the UIImage variable image in the console log I want to be explicit that I am not referring to the quick look feature built into XCode:

My issue with this approach is that I need to review about 50 images per run, and the action of clicking through each time is going to give me carpal tunnel at this point.
I do not think there is something officially baked into XCode that will provide what I want, so my hope is that there is a third party tool that can handle this. Preferably, something that may place it in the variable in the debug console so that I may view the image.

A: Not exactly what I was looking for, but something that XCode does provide is fairly close to what I want.

*

*When a breakpoint is hit, select the variable in the console

*Click on the eye icon seen below

*The image window seen here will appear with an anchor to the variable

This is with XCode 8.
The benefit of this approach is that it saves me from having to track to the variable in code, hover over it, and then move the cursor just so such that the window does not close before I can click on the inspection icon.

How To Live Well With Asthma?
More and more children suffer from allergies nowadays, particularly eczema and asthma life. These two allergies are linked genetically-a condition called atopy, which also includes hay fever. You can see the link clearly if you look at an embryo: the bronchial tract, where the asthma life and hay fever manifest themselves, and the skin are derived from the external layer, which is called the ectoderm.
The body is vulnerable o invasion by two kinds of alien environmental panicles. Living invaders include bacteria viruses and fungi. Non living ones, called allergens, because they set up an allergic reaction, include pollutant chemicals, dust particles, pollens and various foodstuffs.
The body's immune system detects these invaders as alien because they have different chemical or protein structures. It fights living particles by producing antibodies, which destroy them by clinging on to their membranes so that they can't reproduce or function (the principle used in vaccination).
Non-living particles can only be neutralized and thrown out of the body through an allergic reaction, such as a skin rash, sneezing watering eyes or nose, mucus discharge or diarrhoea.
During an asthma life attack deep breathing in is easy but deep breathing out is difficult. When allergens invade the bronchial tract, it engulfs them in mucus so they can be expelled and also constricts to prevent more allergens entering – so the airways become blocked. The body responds by violent coughing and exhaling causes wheezing.
The pituitary gland is the main controller of the immune system. When it functions well, the alien particles are neutralised by an immunological response. But when it's not working effectively, the body becomes over-sensitised, throwing out the unwanted allergens.
The reaction is caused by a cell hormone called histamine, so chemicals that stop it, being produced; or neutralize it are called antihistamines. Steroid inhalers are prescribed for asthma life tics to prevent the bronchial tubes constricting so that deep breathing is smooth. The problem can start early if the immune system does not get a good start. This might happen because of birth injuries to the delicate cranium or neck during labour. This can impair the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, which flows from the brain to the body and back among other things, this fluid carries oxygen and essential nutrients to the pituitary gland.
If it doesn't get them, it begins to be sluggish and this affects the functioning of the immune system. The most common birth problems are rapid delivery through a tight birth canal, forceps or ventouse delivery and cord around the neck. It's also vital to breastfeed, if possible, so that the baby doesn't get 'alien' food. But if the baby's immune system is weak it will react to even tiny impurities in the mother's milk due to her diet.
Give him the best possible diet, comprising fresh home-cooked ingredients (preferably organic), such as porridge, cereals with soya milk or cow's milk (if he can tolerate it), soft-boiled eggs (if he's not allergic to them), grilled fish, minced beef/chicken, turkey, mashed potatoes, mushy rice, lentils, pasta and vegetables, with non-citrus fruits as snacks.
Make a marrow-bone stock for soup or for cooking lentils and rice. (Boil a marrow bone for two hours with bay leaves). This boost the immune system and provides calcium.
Every other day, give him freshly made carrot and apple juice.
Exclude yeast (bred, pizza, Marmite, etc), chocolates and sweets, crisps, citrus fruits, fizzy drinks, cheese, chips, fast food, or ready-meals.
Give him Vitasorb Multivitamins: eight drops daily for two months.
Give him Vitasorb CoQl0: five drops daily for two months.
For mucus in the nose or sinuses, put one drop of Sinus Oil in each of his nostrils at bedtime for a month.
Teach him this deep breathing exercise: pull the abdomen in and force the air out of the nostrils, with a whoosh-whoosh sound. Do this strong exhalation ten to 15 times at a stretch, twice a day for two to three months.
Cranial osteopathy would be helpful for both the three-year-old and the baby.
Parents can treat the baby with regular neck, back and body massage for ten minutes a day at bedtime.
Researchers studying the relationship between pregnant women who eat peanuts and their children believe that these women should lay off the peanuts. Why? They believe that the eating of the peanuts or peanut butter increases the odds that the child, when born, will develop asthma life.
The study did not focus on pregnant women who ate peanuts occasionally. Rather, it concentrated on those who ate peanuts every day, or most days. The study was done by the Dutch government and focused on nearly four thousand pregnant women.
When contrasted with women who never ate peanuts or rarely ate peanuts during pregnancy, the children born to the peanut consumers had a roughly fifty percent greater chance of having breathing problems or asthma life than the children of non-peanut eaters.
Another interesting aspect of the study was that eating fruit seemed to mitigate the odds of the woman's child developing wheezing – although it had no effect on the number of children who develop asthma life. But, since the study was not originally built around studying the relationship of eating fruit on asthma life, no concrete conclusion can be made about its effect.
Other interesting and unexplained results from the study were that the percentage of boys that eventually developed asthma life was greater than the number of girls to develop the disease. Nearly 4 out of every one hundred children in the U.S. have one or more food allergies.
Of the children that have peanut allergies, about 1 in 5 will eventually outgrow their allergy to peanuts. But most will retain their allergy through adulthood. Because of time limitation, this particular study, however, only followed the children up to age 8.
The diets of the children after birth were studied also. And the children's diet seems to have no relationship as to whether they developed asthma life, or not. This reinforces the idea that the development of asthma life in the children was primarily due to the ingestion of peanuts by the mother while the child was still in the womb.
It has long been long known that heredity affects the odds of a child developing asthma life. One thing left undetermined by this particular study is how much a family history of asthma life contributed to the child's asthma life and how much is due to the consumption of peanuts. The study is so interesting because of the constant battle in science about how much heredity affects the odds of developing specific diseases in the future and how much is dependent on nurture.
Although, the study has yet to be repeated by another research group, some cautious physicians are asking that their women patients be careful about eating peanuts during their pregnancy. In the meantime, the Dutch researchers have expanded their study to focus how to prevent the development of asthma life in children.
But even though this study was limited in its scope, medical professionals are excited by it because it helps to guide them in the nutritional advice they can give to expectant mothers in helping them to give birth to healthier children.

why water the roots?

Water the Roots
Feed Your Life
Me, building our greenhouse
It was Jan, ultimately, who convinced me. You see, I'd resisted for years.
"Hi, I haven't seen you in ages! What have you been up to?" she asked.
"I'm great. We've been really busy with the farm this year…a bumper harvest. I bet your store profits will be down this year with me coming in so much less!"
"That's cool. I know you said you were going to do that. What have you grown?"
Jan has worked here at our local (if 17 miles away is "local") natural food market for about five years and we've always chatted while she rings up our items.
"Potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, beets, herbs, spinach, basil, cilantro, pork, beans, peas, pheasant…"
"Pheasant? Wow!"
"Yes I converted an old dog run into a pheasant aviary…"
"You know, I really need to get started on growing things myself. It sounds like a lot of work?"
"It is…but it's worth it and the taste of the stuff I grow or rear myself is the best!"
"You know, you should start a blog or something…I really need help getting started."
And that was it.
People have asked me for years to share our experiment in self-sufficiency in food but I've always been too busy doing it to sit down and write about it. And I still am busy with everything, but so many people have asked me over the last couple of years how to get started or asked for advice and tips that…well, Jan was the proverbial last straw.
How This All Began…
A very long time ago. 1925 to be precise. My dad grew up in a small village atop a hill near Manchester, England, in a house that is now The Hare & Hounds pub. My grandmother, a very strict Presbyterian, would turn in her grave if she knew that. My dad – Fred – would love what they've done to his childhood home.
My dad's father died when he was only three years old, and he and his mother weathered winter storms with snow up to the bedroom windows, and made ends meet as best they could. He helped local farmers harvest their crops and at Christmas killed and processed geese for sale at the local butcher or market stalls. Now, I've kept geese and the thought of a nine-year old breaking a goose's neck meant that my dad's strong hands and arms were developed from a very early age.
Fred always wanted a life in the countryside but fate dealt different cards to him, and when I was born we lived about five minutes from the sea in Blackpool, England, in a fixer-up 950 square foot terraced house with no garden (that's 88 sq. meters to anyone in Metric Land) and – until I was four – no central heating.
Me and Ruth at the allotment, c. 1969
But he still hankered after rural life and around 1968 found an allotment a stone's throw from our home that a local lady rented to him for sixpence a month. (That's about 30 pence or 50 cents a month in today's money). The plot was about 100ftx30ft (30×10 meters) and on it he grew a huge variety of vegetables, fruits and flowers which supplied all our vegetable needs for about half the year, and my mum canned or pickled many of these, too.
The allotment kept us fed for about three years and we spent many happy hours playing in the garden. And other than the time I threw a toy pistol through the glass roof of the greenhouse while my dad was in there, I have very happy memories of that time!
Sixpence a month is not a lot, and when a local builder offered to buy the land to build an apartment block, we lost the allotment. With no allotments for miles around, my dad's dream of growing his own food was kiboshed.
But he never lost the desire to live in the countryside and our Sunday afternoons often involved a drive into the countryside (via a parish cricket match) "To smell the air" or perhaps during the week to visit cattle auctions to savor the atmosphere, or on family holidays to pig farms or canal barges to bask in the complete experience of what living in the countryside was like.
A Seed Sown
I wonder whether my dad knew that while he was yearning to live in the countryside and off the land, and to go back to his roots, what he was really doing fostering in us (me and my siblings, Ruth and Daniel) a passion and a deep desire to continue his love of the countryside.
My dad had sown a seed!
The problem is that sown seeds also need the right kind of care and nurturing to help them to grow, and I had no idea about how to translate my desire to live in and off the countryside into reality. I could dream it…but could I do it?
Many years later and after a successful business which took me to over 20 countries, I am now happily settled in the sixth country I've lived in, and my family and I live on a small farm on the edge of the wilderness in Oregon, USA. We don't live in the middle of nowhere, but right in the middle of somewhere…
You'll Know a Tree by the Fruit it Bears…
My dad was a paradox. A Deacon in the Baptist church who loved a few pints of beer and a hot curry. His service in the Royal Navy in World War II and his subsequent job as a plumber gave him the best command of colorful language. He was a strong softy.
Church on Sunday was always followed by Sunday lunch and a drive into the countryside or a walk on the beach. One idea I remember from going to church for 13 years as a child is that you will know a tree by the fruit it bears.
After I spoke with Jan, my father-in-law asked me what we'd grown this year. What fruit did our tree bear? This was very interesting to reckon-up, as I've never sat down and done this before…I was too busy doing it to even think about it.
Our garden from space, 2012
Google Map's most recent update in summer 2012 now shows rows of vegetables growing where previously only weeds grew.
Off our land in the last year we've harvested or reared:
600lbs pork
50lbs pheasant
350lbs tomatoes
250lbs potatoes
30lbs green beans
20lbs Swiss Chard
10lbs carrots
15lbs beets
250lbs apples
100lbs zucchini
50lbs pears
10lbs turnips
10lbs radish
5lbs bok choy
10lbs cabbage
5lbs peas
50lbs winter squash
6 months constant supply of cilantro
20lbs blackberries
Oregano, Sage, Basil and Parsley
(1lb = 454grams)
That's a Lot of Tomatoes!
We sold some food and swapped some for some elk and sturgeon. We have the rest stored in peat moss for sale, swap or for our own use. We sauced, canned and sundried the tomatoes and made canned vegetables, sauces or pickles with a lot of the veg.
The past summer I built a winter greenhouse in which we now have lettuce, tatsoi and spinach which will last well into the spring.
Spring last year I also repaired the old well and installed a drip irrigation system using T-tape which saved a lot of water and also helped us to keep the weeds down.
This next bit is where it goes from tinkering hobby to a mid-scale obsession…as if that many tomatoes wasn't nuts enough already…
I just converted a 13,000 sq ft front lawn into a vegetable garden, currently with a cover crop of peas and wheat, which I will till-in next spring. In 2013 we'll be farming a ½ acre of our six, total acres.
I planted about 500 garlic bulbs recently in an old flower bed and will soon plant hops for my beer brewing..another passion instilled by my dad.
Amending our soil with minerals
We use only organic or heirloom seeds or starts and no harmful chemicals. I did a soil analysis and the local agricultural supply place helped suggest minerals to supplement our soil.
We'll sell a lot of our next year's crop at a local farmer's market.
We also gave vegetables and some of my home-brewed beer to some friends who have dairy cows, and they gave us some raw milk milk from which which we make butter or cheese.
Cooking it up…
Both my parents were excellent cooks, and they were always experimenting in the kitchen. As far back as I can remember, although we lived in a very "meat and two veg." working-class neighborhood we had a very diverse range of cuisines and foods. Indian, British, Scottish, Chinese meals, home-made sausages, pies, fish my dad caught from the sea, plus experiments and adaptations in canning and pickling.
Ruth and I enjoying cake mix, 1967
We all enjoyed cooking with my parents and as young as two I remember standing on a chair and helping my mum bake cakes. This always involved scraping the cake mix afterward.
Here's a photo of Ruth and I taken in April, 1967 doing just that. And here's a video of my own kids this summer when they experimented making a birthday cake for my wife.
My dad also experimented and perfected many beer and wine recipes and struck-up an agreement with local greengrocers who in exchange for any excess fruit (apples, pears, etc.) they received a share of my dad's cider or wine.
When I left school at 16 I originally wanted to become a chef and I worked in a number of kitchens doing just that, but my path took me into an international career in direct response marketing and running various online businesses.
But I never lost the passion for great food, and for me a major reason for starting down the path of self sufficiency is that the food I rear or grow and prepare myself is among the best I've ever tasted. And the fact it's all organic or heirloom means I am doing my best

Also simple ideas like how to pep-up a fried egg with these delicious Dilly Beans (thank you for the recipe Carolyn!)
We're now probably at about 50%-60% self sufficient in our food needs. We just kind of arrived at this point but looking back on the journey so far, I remember that four years ago I knew zero about gardening. All I started with was a collection of very fond memories of a happy childhood, a love of food and cooking, and a desire to recreate those early experiences now for my own family.
This blog is the story of how I put a lot of deeply sown ideals and a collection of crazy ideas into action, and how me and my family are now enjoying the fruits (and meat and vegetables) of our discoveries.

Where is it in the south of France?
The courtyard is lovely–nice and private.
I like the buffet in that sage/khaki color better than in the dark green.
Very clever mix of vintage, modern and MCM. Takes real skill to get that mix right.
I agree with Penny. Such a cool vibe and well done.
Love the first picture. It's so rustic.

Julianna Pena Breaks Down Her Stunning Win Against Amanda Nunes
Julianna Pena shocked the world with her second round submission of long-time UFC bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes on Saturday night, and as the dust begins to settle she's now breaking down how she managed to defeat 'The Lioness'.
Pena says her gameplan was to take the fight to Nunes and make her tire, and it wasn't long before she started to see signs that it was a strategy that was paying off.
"I had her in trouble in Round 1, and I knew that's the moment," Pena recalled on The MMA Hour show. "I was like, man, if this is how our grappling exchanges are going to be, I can do this all night long, and especially the amount she was breathing. She was just like, [panting], and I'm just, cool."
That only reaffirmed Pena's belief that the double-champ struggles when she's not the aggressor.
"She's a fighter that doesn't do well when she's fighting against adversity," Pena said. "When she's the bully and she's the pressure, she's great – girls fold, they crumple. But when she is being bullied and when she is being pressured, that's what she can't handle, and that's what I knew was the case. You saw that when she was fighting Cat Zingano; Cat Zingano broke her, and I think maybe in Invicta I saw somebody else break her, too. She's had losses. Those types of scenarios I knew still existed in her, and it just needed a chance to break through and rear it's ugly head, and the only way to do that is to get somebody tired and make them work and make them fight.
"I told everybody: The only way you fight this type of firepower is when you fight fire with fire, and I knew that was how it was going to be. It was going to take more than one shot to put me away and put me down. I can take a shot, as you guys have seen from my previous fights. I think that when I was rocking her on the fight, I saw my team, I just see in my peripheral view, my team going 'Go, go, go get her!' So that's when I pressed her to the cage, and the takedown was there, and the choke came in just as I practiced as well. The stars were aligning."
Some have said that Pena's eventual rear-naked choke finish wasn't even fully in and that Nunes simply quit on herself, but the newly crowned champion insists that she'd been working on this modified version of the choke in training and that it left the Brazilian star with no chance of escaping.
"She had no choice but to tap. People want to say she quit – she didn't quit, she was getting choked. She had no choice but to tap – I would have broke her neck. She tapped because she had no choice."
As for what comes next now that she is the champion, Pena is in no doubt about that.
"Amanda is the only matchup I think that makes sense for me and giving her that rematch," Pena told MMAjunkie.

Oprah: This is your sign from God
by Marion Winik January 9, 2019 August 10, 2022
Toward the end of last year, I was down in Virginia visiting my 92-year-old ex-mother-in-law Joyce, and Jane, her sister-in-law, a former ambassador. Joyce reads the Washington Post from cover to cover every day, while Jane reads the New York Times with equal thoroughness, though she eschews the Thursday Style section. I asked these avid and perspicacious followers of politics to give me their takes on the Democratic presidential candidate options.
In short order, they deemed every one of them a loser, including Elizabeth Warren. She might be a good president, Joyce commented, but she could never win the election.
"Who could?" said Jane, shaking her head.
Though I knew that they were unlikely to go for it, I offered what I think might be the best choice among the names that have come up so far —Ms. Oprah Winfrey.
She has no qualifications. Exactly what people want. No prior involvement in politics, no swim in the swamp. She is someone people feel they feel they know, someone they have spent hours and hours with in their living rooms. She's not white, or a man, which makes it tougher, but she is the goddess of all media and a self-made billionaire. She projects authority — authority with a spiritual glow. She has the clothes for it. And we already know America worships her.
I have personal insight into how much people love this woman, because no matter where I go or what I do, there is only one thing on my resume that reliably impresses people of all ages and persuasions — the fact that I once appeared on Oprah. Unfortunately, it was a miserable experience, and ever since 1996 I have been saying mean things about her whenever she comes up.
(Well, I was told it was going to be a show about my book, First Comes Love. Instead it was a show about women who discover their husbands are gay, and I was just one of many examples. Oprah had not read my book, got my name wrong, and asked only humiliating questions her producers had given her, like "Did your husband have to be really drunk to make love to you?" Fortunately, there was one thing that she was enthusiastic about and wanted to discuss. It was my blouse. Full story here.)
To my surprise, the Virginia ladies did not immediately pooh-pooh the suggestion. "Maybe," said Jane. "She'd have to have someone more experienced for vice president. A white man, I'd imagine. Beto? Biden? Or maybe the man should run for president and Oprah for vice?"
"Wait a minute," said Joyce. "Hasn't she already said she won't run?"
I googled to see whether this was true, and found a.) a November 2018 poll showing that if Oprah ran against Trump she would win, and b.) an interview with People magazine from February in which Oprah said "God, if you think I'm supposed to run, you gotta tell me, and it has to be so clear that not even I can miss it."
Look, Oprah. God has reached down and added to your base both intellectual senior citizens who despise pop culture and disgruntled self-promoters who have been mistreated on your show. This is the sign! I'm just hoping He has also arranged for you to read the Baltimore Fishbowl.
With the way things are going, Trump may be impeached or resign, or for some other reason not run for a second term. Even if that happens, he will leave the country internally shattered, internationally disgraced, and racing towards doom. But just as Trump was the ultimate anti-Obama, both in spirit and in the sense of taking apart everything he accomplished, Oprah is the ultimate anti-Trump. She may not know much about legislative strategy and world affairs, and I don't think Dr. Phil does either, but I think we can count on her to get some new experts. Oprah Winfrey would never put 800,000 people out of work for no good reason.
Maybe she will be more of a queen than a president or vice president. A mediagenic figurehead who can stand at the prow of our listing ship and turn back the tide of cruelty, racism, sexism, nationalism, economic stupidity and environmental destruction, while letting people who know what they're doing run the government.
Oprah! Please! Forget me and my petty grievances, unfortunately posted all over the internet. I'll make it all up to you at the phone bank.

Sadly I agree with Joyce and Jane. I can't see any Dem as a really viable possibility. Very scary. But I have to say that personally, I cannot stand Oprah Winfrey. She's just another rich woman that has made her life all about conspicuous consumption. I don't understand how anyone can worship that.

Provides a computationally efficient discrete approximation to log-Gaussian Cox process model for spatially aggregated disease count data. It uses Monte Carlo Maximum Likelihood for model parameter estimation as proposed by Christensen (2004) and delivers prediction of spatially discrete and continuous relative risk. It performs inference for static spatial and spatio-temporal dataset.
SDALGCP provides a computationally efficient discrete approximation to log-Gaussian Cox process (LGCP) model for spatially aggregated disease count data. It uses Monte Carlo Maximum Likelihood for model parameter estimation and delivers prediction of spatially discrete and continuous relative risk.
Now to proceed to fitting the model, note that there two types of model that can be fitted. One is when approximate the intensity of LGCP by taking the population weighted average and the other is by taking the simple average. We shall consider both cases in this tutorial, starting with population weighted since we have population density on a raster grid of 300m by 300m.
We create a function to compute the confidence interval of the scale parameter using the deviance method. It also provides the deviance plot.
Having estimated the parameters of the model, one might be interested in area-level inference or spatially continuous inference.
If interested in STRICTLY area-level inference use the code below. This can either give either region-specific covariate-adjusted relative risk or region-specific incidence. This is achieved by simply setting in the function.
From this discrete inference one can map either the region-specific incidence or the covariate adjusted relative risk.
If interested in spatially continuous prediction of the covariate adjusted relative risk. This is achieved by simply setting in the function.
Then we map the spatially continuous covariate adjusted relative risk.
As for the unweighted which is typically by taking the simple average of the intensity an LGCP model, the entire code in the weighted can be used by just setting in the line below.
These are the improvements in these version.

GoldenRace: Virtual Sports and Betting Technologies Provider Certified in SA
By Mfidie	 On Feb 12, 2021 Last updated Feb 12, 2021
Share WhatsAppFacebookTwitterFacebook Messenger
History was made in January, as Gaming Laboratories Africa (GLI) granted certification to GoldenRace, a provider of virtual sports betting technologies. The certification provides an intriguing insight into the direction that sports betting is taking on a global level and how this will affect the South African market.
GoldenRace is Africa's leading virtual sports business and already has an established presence in other parts of the continent, where it has built close relationships with local clients, most notably in Nigeria and Kenya. Here, GoldenRace technology lies at the heart of eight out of 10 bets placed on virtual sporting events. But what is virtual sports betting all about and how does it differ from conventional sports betting?
Any sport, any time
Real life imitating art
Betting on virtual sports
What sports are available
Can virtual sport eclipse the real thing?
The thinking behind virtual sports betting is that it gives you the opportunity to bet on your favourite sport any time, day or night. As a leader of virtual sports in South Africa, GoldenRace improves the sports betting experience each year with new products and solutions. The concept of virtual sports betting has been around for some years, but it really captured the public's imagination in the early months of 2020.
During those weeks, as we know, practically every significant sporting league, tournament, race, fight or fixture was either called off or postponed. The sporting world had never seen anything like it, and sports networks and news media were reduced to recycling highlights and compiling "best of" lists to keep viewers and readers entertained. That only went so far, and it certainly did not help to scratch that itch for those who like to place a wager.

Cyberspace provided a solution in terms of virtual sporting events. These are AI-generated match-ups that might include football games, boxing bouts, horse races and just about any other type of fixture you can think of. Before the virtual event gets under way, you can place bets on the outcome according to the posted odds, then you sit back and watch the action unfold on the screen in front of you.
The overall concept of virtual sport received a huge publicity boost when the real and virtual worlds began to overlap during the lockdown period. There were several examples of high-profile sporting events that could not take place in the physical world but that received the virtual treatment instead. One that got immense publicity was the virtual Grand National horse race in the UK. This annual steeplechase is the most famous race on the UK calendar and is one that everyone tends to bet on, even those who usually have no interest in horse racing or betting.
A virtual race has actually been part of the event for the past few years, but until 2020, it was nothing more than a bit of fun. Last year, however, it received top billing, including a live broadcast on BBC TV. Thousands of bets were placed. Other examples of virtual sporting events took place in the worlds of Premier League soccer and Formula One motor racing. In each case, real professionals like Andros Townsend from Crystal Palace, Brighton's Neal Maupay and F1 stars Lando Norris and Charles LeClerc took part in virtual events to sharpen their reflexes, entertain fans and raise money for good causes.

The virtual sports provided by GoldenRace have more in common with the Virtual Grand National as they are completely AI-simulated – there is no sports star sitting at a webcam with a controller in hand! But when it comes to placing a wager, there is really no difference between betting on virtual sports or the real thing. As is the case in games of chance that you might play at an online casino, the result is dictated by a random number generator that is programmed according to the odds.
If you are planning on trying your hand at placing a wager on virtual sport, look closely at the game choices, as each tournament has its own rules, with different bets available, just the same as in the real world. For example, in a virtual football game, you can bet on either the outcome of a specific game, or an overall tournament, or both.
Any sport can be played in virtual form, it is simply a matter of programming, but it will come as little surprise that the main focus is on football and horse racing. Football is the most popular sport on the planet, both in terms of spectating and betting, and this applies as much to the virtual world as the real one. GoldenRace has devised a portfolio of football tournaments that encompass virtual versions of both international and domestic teams.

Horse racing is also a major attraction in the betting world, and with the huge choice of virtual runners, riders, racecourses and distances, no two races are ever the same. Other sports that lend themselves well to the virtual format include greyhound racing, cycling and tennis.
South Africa has a proud sporting heritage and is known the world over as a nation of sport lovers. As such, it would be an exaggeration to suggest that betting on virtual sport could ever replace the sheer excitement and spectacle of a real football match, rugby fixture or boxing bout. But there is no denying that from a purely gambling perspective, virtual events hold a few advantages.
Most obviously, the outcome is far more a matter of statistical probabilities and it does not have the unknown human factor that you get in the real world. When real people take to the field, you never know if one of them is nursing an injury, or perhaps distracted by some off-field concern that will affect his or her performance. There are also aspects such as sudden changes in the weather that can play havoc with, for example, a cricket match or a horse race. But it doesn't rain in cyberspace!
Best of all, there's no waiting around on international schedules. Whenever you feel like placing a bet, you need only play the game and an event will be ready to begin when you are.

When you think of photographs, particularly those which are staged for magazines and weddings, you probably envision an entire team working to make a model look a certain way, to make them appealing. After hours and hours of planning, picking the right outfit, and making sure their face is "picture perfect" with makeup, it doesn't really matter what life that person leads, good or bad, as long as they are ready to pose for the camera. Yet to everyone else, the person in the picture is simply an advertisement, a facade.
On social media, we show our best smiles, our happiest moments, and our funniest memories; in the process, we sometimes become so absorbed in this idea of "perfection" that we forget that this isn't our true self. The self who sits behind a desk, staring at a phone screen. That is exactly what I wanted to capture in these photographs: the true essence of posing for the camera. I never really experiment with flash photography, as I personally hate it when people take pictures of me with the flash on. I know that with flash, you are able to see every small detail of a person, every flaw of yours which you so desperately want to cover. Flash photography is almost like a temporary spotlight, and all eyes are on you. There's a pressure to look perfect, to pose perfectly, to get it right the first time just to avoid the second round of flashes. I wanted to show the difference between a very obviously forced pose and the momentary pause when a person needs a break to think of another pose. The truth is, posing for a picture quickly grows exhausting and repetitive.


Media language refers to the ways in which media producers make meaning in ways that are specific to the medium in which they are working and how audiences come to be literate in 'reading' such meaning within the medium. For example, the 'language of film', print layout conventions. These medium specific languages will often be closely connected to other media concepts such as genre or narrative and candidates are at liberty to make such connections to a greater or lesser extent in their answers.

This post is a shameless plug for some fiction written by myself and other authors.
Chuck Wendig, over the past three weeks, organized a 3-part Collaboration Challenge over at his website. I played each week, writing the first 500 words of my own story (There Are Things in the Well), writing a second 500 words for another story (Clank), and finally writing the conclusion of a third story (A Recipe for Disaster).
I'm happy to say that both of the stories I collaborated on aside from "A Recipe for Disaster" were picked up and concluded by other authors. Yesterday I reposted the finished version of "There Are Things in the Well", and today I saw that there have actually been two part 3's written for "Clank."

Narrowly focused sportbikes to the left, massively overwrought tourers to the right…is there any place left for the simple, do-it-all motorcycle? Sure there is, and far from becoming an endangered species, the lightweight enduro – a kind of motorcycle that embodies off-road capabilities alongside roadworthy manners tailored to please experienced and beginning riders alike – has become immensely popular around the world. Between 1995 and 2003, BMW has sold more than 110,000 F 650s, with 32 percent of the latest versions going to female riders (worldwide). What's more, some 21 percent of F 650 buyers were new riders. And now, for the 2006 model year, BMW's entry in the amazing category returns refined, refreshed and ready to do business.
The GS's overall compact dimensions are made possible by a slender engine and a fuel tank located under the seat. Not only does this placement improve chassis packaging, it dramatically reduces the bike's overall centre of gravity, making the GS feel smaller and lighter – considerations critical to the beginning rider.
Central to this multi-role versatility is the F 650's relaxed, upright riding position that is the ideal compromise between on-road comfort and off-road control. For the new F 650 GS, BMW has focused on improving the bike's ergonomic profile and making it even kinder to beginning and returning riders. To this end, a new clutch lever featuring incremental span adjustments that provide riders with smaller hands improved control and comfort (an adjustable brake lever continues as standard.) To accommodate riders of different heights, several seat options are available for the F 650 GS. The GS comes standard with a 30.7-inch (780mm) seat height with a low seat option, which further reduces it to 29.5 inches (750mm). In addition, a high seat is available that provides taller riders with extra legroom.
This year, the F 650 GS have new bodywork placed upon the strong and durable steel frame. A new clear-lens headlight puts more illumination on the road and works with entirely new windscreens to improve weather and wind protection. Revised inserts alongside what would normally be the fuel tank distinguish the new model and improve cooling by allowing more air past the oil cooler (the fuel cell is located under the rider's seat for lowered center of gravity and improved handling.) Finally, the rear luggage rack has been redesigned to accept an optional top case without an adapter plate, as required in the past.
The F 650 is powered by a BMW-designed, single-cylinder engine embodying technologies not seen on other "thumpers." For 2006, the engine's technological resume stretches to include 2 Spark ignition for the four-valve cylinder head and a new and advanced BMS-C II computerized engine-control unit that dynamically manages spark and fuel delivery to suit any riding condition. With these improvements, the liquid-cooled, 652cc engine produces fewer harmful exhaust emissions, is more fuel efficient, and has a torque peak at 4800 rpm instead of the previous model's 5000 rpm. In addition, the 2 Spark ignition system offers increased drivability, stronger mid-throttle response and greater engine flexibility. As before, the GS uses a three-way catalyst in the updated, stainless-steel exhaust system to meet the stringent Euro2 exhaust emissions requirements.
Although the GS may see different missions, it is available with BMW's advanced ABS system, the only such single-cylinder bikes in this category for which this is true. To optimize the system for off-road use, the ABS may be switched off via a cockpit-mounted switch.
ABS II with rider-selectable defeat.
Multiple seats. There is a taller dual seat as well as a lowered-suspension option using the standard seat. The GS can be fitted with a special black single seat with luggage rack that provides the same seat height as the standard saddle.
Several soft- and hard-luggage options, including variable-thickness hard saddlebags (Vario), soft bags for passenger seat and luggage rack, a hard top case, as well as liners for the hard bags.
A taller windscreen, similar to the F 650 GS Dakar's.


MIAMI – With the events which took place in Paris, Brusssels, Nice, Thailand and other destinations, travelers struggle to balance their vital interest in cultural enrichment and world experiences with common sense precautions to safeguard themselves, their families and their investments. April Travel Protection, a travel insurance company, is attempting to educate Americans on the ins and outs of travel insurance to help travelers understand what is and what isn't covered under various policies.
As an industry standard, travel insurance does not include "fear of traveling" based on terror threats. Terrorism is only covered in cases where an attack impacts travel plans prior to or during travel. Policies must also be purchased before the terrorism event takes place.
"This is an important distinction as it precludes trip cancellation coverage based on state department advisories, including instances where intelligence agencies have credible information on an impending attack," Schreier explained.
APRIL's philosophy is to provide easy-to-understand agreements in order to help prospective policyholders choose the right options for their specific needs. And while the company's forward-thinking policies are among the most comprehensive in the industry, Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage provides the ultimate peace of mind for travelers concerned about planning travel in an era complicated by terrorism.
CFAR provides the ultimate protection as it places the decision of trip cancellation squarely in policyholders' hands. One's reasoning behind the cancellation request-whether it be fear of terrorism, Zika infection or simple buyers' remorse-is left to their own discretion.
The typical standard for CFAR coverage options practiced by the majority of travel insurance companies is a 45% or 50% surcharge on top of the total policy cost. For example, a 55-year-old insuring a $10,000 trip would incur an additional charge of $315 to $350 on top of the base policy premium. Comparatively, the cost for CFAR on APRIL's VIP Plan is only $60-a flat charge that does not increase regardless of the trip cost or the age of the policyholder.
"There are so many 'unknown' events that cannot be predicted, and of course, sickness or a broken leg are significantly more likely than a terrorist attack, but shouldn't we cover it all just in case? This is the reasoning behind CFAR and is why it affords the most comprehensive coverage available," explains Schreier.
Additionally, all policies sold by APRIL and its partners feature "instant adjudication" at the core of APRIL's signature 'Stress Less' Benefits-a ground-breaking feature which allows policyholders to enjoy their vacation without having to worry about out-of-pocket expenses in an emergency.
The first insurance company to provide this progressive benefit to U.S. policyholders, APRIL offers instant adjudication for a wide range of potential inconveniences that can't be predicted in advance, including emergency medical coverage up to $250,000 (with no deductible), trip interruption covering up to 150% of your trip's cost, and evacuation benefits up to $500,000. Cancellations are eligible for reimbursement of 100% of their trip costs for situations including injury, sickness, death, job loss or relocation, supplier default, weather, natural disasters, terrorism, military duty, strikes and more.
APRIL's takes a pro-active approach that keeps up with travelers' evolving needs with a multi-lingual team and 24/7 toll-free access from most destinations as well as other convenient support channels from Skype to texting, email and live chat. APRIL claims to be the first company to pioneer these support methods for American travelers.
APRIL Travel Protection is owned by APRIL, an international group with 45 operational companies in more than 40 different countries. APRIL is listed on Euronext Stock Exchange and has yearly sales of more than $1.1 billion.

Know Thy Self. Love Thyself.
Fear. The opposite of love; yet it derives from love itself. Love understood on a human plane that is. Recently I connected with my inner voice. On a more clear level I should say as it has never parted from me at any time. Now,throughout my life I had a deep yearning to do more. To give more. To love more. I lived for love and searched for it in all the wrong places unaware that all I had to do was look inside myself and say hello. It recently dawned on me after nights of disturbing nightmares what it was my subconscious was trying to tell me.You want to heal; and I did. The very instant I accepted this truth I felt a sense of relief. The desire to control everything around me faded when I realized there was a higher power taking care of that for me. All I had to do was wake up to the realization that I had a purpose upon coming back to earth and that purpose was to heal others through touch,art,nutrition and any other talents willing to reveal themselves unto me. Now this may all sound fine and dandy and yes it is quite exciting. However with such a gift comes great responsibility and this I am slowly learning. I have a long ways to go for my awakening has only just begun. Although I speak of peace I also walk with a heart of rock and roll, seduction and a yearning to walk the world and love every single one of you until my next breath. For those going through the same struggle understand it is a blessing,do not concern yourself with what you do or do not know. Do not desperately seek teachers for they will come to you when you are ready. Trust that the Universe will give you what you need. Ask ask ask ask always ask! Don't ignore those questions pulsating through your human heart. For the answers will always reveal themselves in everyone of your senses. Pay attention my loves and rememeber theres no need to rush; you are exactly where you need to be.

If you are looking for a moist and moreish celebration cake – this is THE ONE! The secret to making this SO good is drenching the dried fruit in a really generous amount of booze – and ideally leaving it to macerate together for a while for a jar. So get soaking the fruit now! Use what you have at home – sweet sherry, dark rum, brandy and ginger wine all work well. (You can leave it to macerate for 1 day to 1 month.)Then half the fruit is blitzed to a puree before folding it into the cake mixture. It's got heaps of spice too, which makes it really special. Cooked in my fave shape -a ring, so there's no chance of a soggy middle! Decorated simply with just a drizzling of fondant icing and a sprinkling of edible Christmas sparkle.
1 Put the sherry in a large pan. Add the lemon or orange zest and juice and dried mixed fruit. Cover and heat gently for 5 mins, until the fruit is plumped up. Tip into a large jar and seal. Leave for 1 day – 1 month in a cool place to macerate.
2 When you are ready to bake the cake heat the oven to 160°C, Gas 3 Tip half the fruit and any sherry into a food processor and blend until smooth.
3 Cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer for several minutes until light and fluffy. Gradually whisk in the eggs.
4 Sieve in the flour and mixed spice, and tip in but o not mix in. Spoon in the whole fruit, fruit puree add the vanilla extract, then fold everything together.
5 Spoon into the greased ring mould or tin and smooth over. Bake for 1 hour 15 mins. Ovens vary – so check that the cake is ready by inserting a skewer in the centre, if it comes out clean it is ready. If any mixture is left on the skewer, continue to cook for 10-30 more mins, then leave to cool in the tin.
6 To decorate Put the cake onto serving board. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl and add 2tbsp cold water, to make a thick pourable icing. Spoon into a plastic piping bag, and snip of the end. Randomly drizzle over the icing, then sprinkle with silver stars and edible glitter. The cake will keep for up to 2 weeks in a cool place in a sealed container.
orange juice, lemon juice, sherry, brandy or rum.
I have long been a fan of a Caribbean inspired moist and boozy Christmas cake, since my sister in law shared her fave recipe many years ago. So I thought it would be good fun to share some of these that I have developed for the various different magazines have worked for. The basic cake is simular; I always use Billingtons Unrefined Sugar .
I really recommend you look out for unrefined sugar and experiment with the different varieties. Light muscovado, dark muscovado sugar and molasses sugar all work well in these rich dark Christmas cakes because they are dark and delicious with an almost toffee like taste. Regular light and soft brown sugars tend to be white sugar that has been refined with colour added – so I steer clear of these!
Check out these recipes and you'll find some inspiring frostings variations.

Eventbrite predicts strong sales for Australia's summer music season
Bar Pop's Factory Summer Festival in Perth
Online ticketing platform Eventbrite has reported strong post-lockdown consumer thirst for Australia's summer live music season – particularly in Western Australia.
APAC general manager Josh McNicol cites Bar Pop's Factory Summer Festival in Perth as an example of how well the platform's Australian and New Zealand event creators are faring. Over 30,000 tickets were sold in the first week of sales, with a 350% rise in the number of Perth tickets sold compared to 2019.
"This shows us there's a high level of consumer confidence in the ability of a seasoned events team like Bar Pop to deliver live events that prioritise attendee safety alongside an exceptional experience for fans," he points out.
In Q3 2020, average daily paid ticket sales for WA music events increased fivefold compared to Q2 2020, by 56% compared to Q3 2019, and by 63% against pre-COVID levels in Q1 2020.
Interestingly, while both WA and Queensland began to see recovering and accelerating demand in Q3 2020, WA event creators were selling on average 2.4 times more paid tickets per day than their counterparts in QLD.
McNicol forecasted that Australian promoters will follow how quickly New Zealand's live landscape changed.
"What's important is that event creators equip themselves with the right tools and technology to ensure they are prepared for all scenarios," he said.

These include COVID-safe procedures such as contactless check-in, rapid COVID testing at events, capturing attendee data and enhancing capabilities for contact tracing, real-time capacity controls, staggering patron arrivals, expansion of refund alternatives and upgraded ventilation for indoor venues.
Australian promoters are expected to increasingly diversify their events and focus on building an online global audience that's as equally engaged as their offline community. Livestreaming music events will be a continued presence, as a ticketed option for gigs.
"This is where finding the right technology partners is critical; integrations with Eventbrite and Zoom or Vimeo make the proposition of hybrid events combining in-person and online seamlessly so much simpler," McNicol advises.
This week, Eventbrite's San Francisco HQ announced the platform hit a new milestone, powering 1 million virtual events worldwide in 2020. These weren't just concerts and festivals; online dating, wedding and marriage events took off thanks to virtual first-dance lessons and vow writing workshops. In April alone, virtual marriage events on Eventbrite increased 30 times year over year.
In June, online yoga lessons increased by 50 times year over year while the AFL and NRL grand finals saw a three-time increase in virtual events on Eventbrite this year compared to last year.
McNicol revealed, "One trend that we expect to accelerate in the months ahead is Australians' preference for intimate live music gigs over large concerts or festivals.
"Earlier this year we surveyed more than 6,000 Aussie music fans and found that close to two-thirds (57%) of respondents preferred smaller club and pub gigs over stadium shows.
"As venues prepare to reopen safely and with social distancing at top of mind, we anticipate that this trend will only continue to grow."
The same survey found that one in two music fans (48%) bought a ticket to discover a new artist or experience a new musical genre in-person.
"That is exciting news for up-and-coming local artists who'll likely find new, highly-engaged audiences right here at home this summer, as the pandemic continues to prevent international artists from touring in Australia," McNicol said.
Eventbrite warns that, despite moves by promoters and music fans to re-embrace the physical live experience, current border restrictions and lengthy quarantine requirements remain a problem.
"The live sector also continues to operate on the knife's edge of risk which is worsened without access to affordable event insurance for communicable diseases," McNicol stated.
"In parts of our region that have reopened to large events, Eventbrite creators consistently ask the question of insurability of their events in order to protect their business and attendees.
"Federal government support and even intervention is needed to ensure a safe and viable return to live, and to give our industry confidence that there is not one small group carrying the entirety of risk as Australians begin to celebrate together in-person once more."
