The cannot intubate, cannot oxygenate (CICO) clinical scenario is an infrequent, but life-threatening emergency, which may occur any time tracheal intubation is required. The most appropriate management of the patient's airway when this occurs is the rapid placement of a surgical airway (cricothyrotomy or tracheotomy). Whether it occurs within the operating room (OR) or in a non-OR location such as the emergency department or intensive care unit, it remains a low-frequency high-impact event. Data from the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) closed claims database as well as international airway management registries have reported almost universally catastrophic patient outcomes (death or severe brain damage) when a surgical airway is needed and either delayed or not successfully performed. Skills, which are needed in such rare circumstance cannot be taught/attained during routine training and thus must be supplemented using skills trainers and clinical simulation. Currently available molded plastic surgical airway task trainers do not adequately mimic real tissue and the continued reliance on stand alone task trainers does not allow realistic skill attainment and ability to achieve ongoing competence. The Surgical Airway Training Project supported by WISH will aim to develop anatomically correct, inexpensive, modular, and reusable tabletop models utilizing 3-D printing technology in collaboration with the University of Washington's Center for Research in Education and Simulation Technologies (CREST). The models will highlight CREST's knowledge in bio realistic tissue engineering, and the ability to print multi-layer realistic "skin" incorporating layers of skin, fat, subcutaneous tissue, and blood packets to be used as a covering for the models. In this way, the look and feel of the model should closely resemble a human patient.
The project will transform current training for practitioners who are largely responsible for airway management throughout the UW Medicine System, primarily Anesthesiologists, Emergency Medicine, and Critical Care Physicians. Trainees will be tested on their ability to recognize and appropriately manage a CICO situation by performing a surgical airway utilizing the new bio realistic models in formal clinical simulation.
Extracorporeal life support (ECLS), also called Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), is an advanced form of life support that enables bypass of the heart and lungs in settings of severe cardiogenic shock or severe respiratory failure. ECLS has long been used with success in pediatric and neonatal intensive care units, and due to technological advancements, the use of ECLS in adult ICUs has rapidly expanded in recent years. The increase in use heralds an increased need for education.
ELSO guidelines recommend that "Each ECMO center should have a well-defined program for ECMO physician and staff training, certification, and re-certification. This program should include: didactic lectures, laboratory training with the ECMO equipment, bedside training, and a defined system for testing proficiency of the team members." Despite this recommendation, anecdotal evidence suggests high variability of curricula and educational materials available. Locally available, institutionally-based curricula depend largely on the historical ECLS experience of the institution. While multi-day intensive courses are comprehensive, they are also costly and time-consuming, pulling providers away from patient care. Podcasts and blogs are available online, which contain educational content, but none contain a comprehensive curriculum.
As the University of Washington (UW) Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center expand their ECLS programs, the need for enhanced education of physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists and perfusionists is apparent. The vision for ECLS training will encompass three main components: 1) web-based didactic curriculum, 2) in-person high fidelity simulation, and 3) bedside clinical care of patients. Given scheduling time constraints, in-person didactic education for all healthcare personnel is extremely challenging, thus web-based educational tools, which are currently unavailable, are an attractive alternative, especially when combined, with hands-on simulation based training opportunities. Web-based education, which can be quickly referenced at the bedside, is also a pragmatic solution for on-the-job learning. To meet this need, we have created a hybrid web-based curriculum entitled corECMO, which is complemented by hands-on practice using simulation.
WISH support allows the corECMO program to continue development of an innovative hybrid-training model, which supplements on-line content delivery with hands-on experiential training via simulation.
Cardiopulmonary Bypass: A Primer, a free iBook, was created by surgeons, perfusionists, anesthesiologists, and nurses from the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, WA.

You've spent so much time and money on your law firm's website—you're just not ready to start over from scratch. That's fine—in fact, you may not need to.
Header. Still using a block logo or other picture at the top of your main page? Not only are these boring to look at, but also they are not optimized for search engines—doubly hurting your web marketing efforts. Try a Q&A section, a live chat box, or a YouTube video of yourself addressing a problem: any one of which will be more interactive and attention-grabbing than your firm's name.
Style. Have a friend (one who isn't an attorney) read through your website copy. Tell her to imagine a specific situation: she has been denied an insurance claim, or needs a divorce lawyer. She found your site—not as your friend, but as someone who needs help. Does the content address the client's needs? Does it provide several ways to contact you? Or do you just tell them how qualified you are and what schools you attended?
Optimization. In order to get readers to your site, you will have to know a little bit about search engine optimization. This means that all of your headlines, titles and copy should have keywords that will rank your site highly on search engine pages. However, you can't just cram keywords onto a page—search engine robots are getting more and more adept at ferreting out these kinds of pages. All content should be reader-friendly, interesting, and have enough keywords to be relevant.

The Sites To Go For UK Open Darts Betting
Darts, for a long period of time, was considered by many to be nothing more than a pub game that people played for some light-hearted fun with their friends while having a pint or two. However, to state that things have changed slightly would be the understatement of the decade since darts has now gone on to become one of the world's most popular sports. All of the sport's biggest competitions, and the UK Open definitely qualifies as a big competition, are played out in big venues with a raucous crowd, while millions more watch all of the action from home.
Darts is now a really popular sport for sports betting enthusiasts to bet on, and any sports betting site that is worth its salt will have a variety of markets and provide competitive odds for all of the big darts events. However, when it comes to particular betting categories, there are some bookies that have an edge over their rivals, and this is what we are going to take a closer look at here.
Best UK Open Darts Betting Site - Ladbrokes
If you have been searching for a sportsbook where you can place bets on the UK Open, then you should stop searching and take a much closer look at Ladbrokes. This sportsbook has been around for decades, so it is safe to say that they know what they are doing. It would be a gross understatement for us to tell you that they have a comprehensive coverage for the UK Open - thanks to their variety of markets and really good betting odds, Ladbrokes have all their bases covered when it comes betting on this event. To put the cherry on top of the proverbial cake, they are also happy to give their loyal customers regular free bets, which we always love to hear.
Best UK Open Darts Free Bet Offer - Bet365
When it comes to competitiveness, there are not many industries out there that are as competitive as the sports betting industry. The competitive nature of this industry is very annoying for any company that is involved in the gambling industry, but it is great for sports betting fans because this is what compels bookmakers to offer their customers free bets and other great promotions. Bookies know that they players will be inclined to stick around if they are offered free bets and other bonuses. A bookie which fails to offer free bets is one that will see their customer numbers decline quite dramatically. With regard to sportsbooks that have great free bet offers, you will not find many that come close to Bet365.
Best UK Open Darts Live Betting Site – Betway
When it comes to huge darting events such as the UK Open, you can make bets before one of the matches has started, or you can make your bet when the game has not finished yet, which is known as making a live bet. Being able to do some live betting is great because you can find a lot of value to take advantage of. If you want to start making live darts bets, then there is one bookie that we recommend above all, and this is Betway. They are a great place to do your live betting because they offer plenty of live markets, and the odds that are on offer will never leave you feeling disappointed.
Best Betting Site for UK Open Darts Odds – Bwin
When you are betting on darts events such as the UK Open Darts, it is vital that you do so using the best odds around as this is how you make sure that you always walk away with the biggest profit possible whenever your bets go on to win. Therefore, it is obviously important that you register with a sportsbook that offers their players top odds. With regard to the UK Open, Bwin is the sportsbook that you should consider opening an account with since they always have top odds for whatever markets they are offering.
UK Open Darts Betting Odds
The 2022 UK Open will be the 20th edition of this prestigious tournament, and it will take place from Thursday 3rd of March until Monday 7th of March. There will be 160 players competing for the title (although this number could change closer to the time) and a cheque that is worth £100,000.
N.B. Since this competition is still quite some time away, we do not yet know the UK Open Darts betting odds that will be on offer at all of the best sports betting sites. Below you will see a table, and closer to the time we will return and update it with the important information. However, since there are so many players taking part, we are not going to give you odds for each of them - we will take the top 20.
UK Open Darts Betting Markets
One of the great things about darts betting is that no matter what tournament it is that is being played, you will always have a decent variety of markets that you can bet on. In this section of this guide, we are going to take a look at some of the more popular markets that you can bet on during the UK Open. So, without further ado, let's get cracking.
As you can tell from the name of this kind of bet, all that you have to do is put your cash on the player that you believe will go on to win the match. If your selected player does indeed go on to win the match, then you will make a nice profit. However, if your player loses, then you will lose your stake. This type of bet is as simple as they come.
Instead of putting your hard-earned money on the player that you think will win a certain match, you can do some UK Open Darts outright betting and put your cash on the player that you believe will go on to lift the trophy and win the prize money at the end of the tournament. If the player that you select does go on to win the event, then you, like your chosen champion, will earn a lovely profit. When it comes to this market, we recommend that you make your bets as early as possible since the odds will decrease as the tournament progresses.
With this type of market, you need to try and guess the final score of a particular match. This is a lucrative market when you are betting on darts events that are made up of relatively short matches. It is harder to predict scores in the big tournaments such as the UK Open, but tricky is not always a bad thing since this means that the odds on offer will be higher, which can lead to bigger profits.
In a game of darts, the highest checkout that is possible is 170, and this is achieved by hitting the treble 20 twice as well as the bullseye. This is one of the more difficult checkouts to make in darts, which is why you will always get really good odds for a player hitting a 170. With a highest checkout bet, you just need to predict which player in the match will land the highest checkout.
The highest score in a game of darts is 180, and the crowd always go wild when one of the players manages to hit one. The majority of sportsbooks that you will encounter will allow their players to put their money on the player that they believe will go on to hit the most 180s in the game.
In a traditional game of darts, both players are trying to score 501 first (with a double to finish) in order to win the leg, and there are many different ways that they can do this. The least number of darts that a player can throw to win a leg is 9, but this is really hard to do - it is pretty much the same as scoring a hat-trick in a football match or getting a break of 147 in snooker. Any bookmaker that offers markets for big darts events should have this market available, and we recommend that you try your luck with it every so often. If you manage to win, you will get a really nice payout because the odds on offer are always high.

UK Open Darts Betting Tips
When it comes to placing bets on darts competitions, there are so many great betting tips available out there that can help increase your chances of winning. We shall now take a look at some of these, but obviously we are not obliging you to pay any attention to them. However, you will definitely do yourself a really big favour if you take on board what we are about to tell you.
If your main strategy when you are betting on darts, or any other sport for that matter, is to just hope that luck is on your side, then you should not be too surprised when you keep on losing. So, let us now crack on with some very useful betting tips that you can use when betting on the UK Open.
Darts players, much like those who participate in other single sports such as snooker or tennis, have those opponents that they seem to always beat and those that they always struggle against for some reason. Michael Smith, who once finished second in the Premier League and the World Darts Championship, is a fine example of this. Whenever he plays the likes of James Wade, Michael van Gerwen, or Peter Wright he seems to buckle under the pressure and always loses.
So, before you dive straight in and start putting bets on a player to win a match, we suggest that you do a quick search on the Internet to see how your chosen player has performed against their opponent in past matches. If they have a poor record, then it is in your best interest to find something else to bet on.
Betting on a single player and praying that they go on to win the title is the traditional way of darts betting. However, choosing a winner before a tournament begins is a difficult way to land a profit since one bad match will see your chosen champion get eliminated from the tournament.
Therefore, we suggest that you do some research before going ahead and make an outright winner bet, and then you should consider placing a small bet on two to three players that you believe might end up winning the title. Yes, we know that your level of profit will be smaller if you do this, but we truly feel that it is much better to win small cash amounts regularly rather than a big cash prize rarely.
They say that class is permanent and that form is temporary, and this is something that we totally agree with. Those of you who are reading this that have a lot of experience watching darts will remember times where the best player has struggled in a match against someone they would usually beat quite comfortably. When it comes to dart matches, all of the best players play each other frequently, so taking a look at their form is a really useful way to see how an upcoming match could play out.
If you are thinking about sitting down to enjoy some entertaining darts games in tournaments such as the UK Open, but do not actually feel like following some of the players throughout the tournament or up until they are eliminated, then we suggest that you make use of the accumulator strategy instead. In an accumulator, a number of outcomes are combined and their odds will be multiplied to give you much higher odds.
There will be occasions when it is definitely not worth your money or time to bet on just one game because the odds that are on offer are poor since one of the players is heavily favoured to win. In our view, it is not worth betting on a player to win a match if you have to put down a huge stake in order to make any kind of decent profit. With the multiplied odds of an accy, you can land huge profits while not risking a lot of money. However, keep in mind that you need all your predictions to come true in an accumulator in order to win.
Top UK Open Darts Betting Offers
When you think of competitive industries, we bet that you do not think about the sports betting section. However, you should, since it is now one of the more competitive industries in the world. While the competitive nature of the gambling industry is very annoying for those companies trying to make a living from it, it is awesome for sports bettors like us since this is what forces bookmakers to offer a wide variety of promos and bonuses.
Bookmakers are more than aware that if their rivals happen to be more appealing because of the bonuses and promotions that they have on offer, then new potential punters will flood to them instead, and they will run the risk of having to shut down. Obviously, a bookmaker that does not attract new customers is one that will not last very long.
As a result of this competitiveness, sports betting sites are always looking to outdo their main competitors when it comes to the promotions that they have on offer. Thus, in the following table, we have given you five sportsbooks that we believe are currently offering the best bonuses around at the moment:
Bet365 Get €50 worth of credits Claim Now
William Hill Get €30 worth of free bets after you make a €10 wager Claim Now
888sport Get free bets which are worth €30 after you place a €10 bet Claim Now
BetVictor Recieve €30 worth of free bet bonuses after you make a €5 bet Claim Now
Unibet You first deposit will be 100% matched up to €50 Claim Now
N.B. When it comes down to bonuses and promotions, there is something that we have to make clear before we carry on with this guide of ours, and this is that sportsbooks are constantly changing their bonuses to try and stay fresh and one step ahead of their main rivals. Thus, there is a chance that the offers you just read about are not available when you go to open an account. If this happens to you, do not be too disheartened because the replacement bonuses will be just as good.
Also, with regard to T&Cs, we recommend you read all the main ones that apply before you go ahead and make use of any bonus money as this will provide you with vital information regarding the wagering requirements, the time frame that you have to complete the wagering requirements, and whether any banking methods are prohibited from claiming the bonus money.
UK Open Darts Format
In terms of the number of participants, the UK Open is the biggest darts event since there are around 160 players that take part each year. Some players drop out close to the tournament for a number of reasons, but despite this there are still many participants. For example, 153 players took part in the 2021 UK Open.
Instead of all the players starting in the First Round, it is an incremental competition, meaning that a certain number of players will enter in the First Round, with the winners joining a number of players in the Second Round and Third Round to leave a certain number in the Fourth Round.
For instance, in the 2021 edition, 50 players entered the First Round, and the winners joined the 32 players in the Second and Third round to leave 64 players in the Fourth Round. The 2022 edition will be something similar, depending on how many players are officially taking part.
So, how is it decided in which round each player will enter the competition? Well, all is explained below for you:
Top 32 in the PDC Order of Merit get a bye into the Fourth Round
33-64 in the PDC Order of Merit get a bye into the Third Round
65-96 in the PDC Order of Merit get a bye into the Second Round
97-128 in the PDC Order of Merit start in the First Round
The rest of the field is made up of Darts UK Open qualifiers from the following competitions:
PDC Development Tour
PDC Challenge Tour
PDC UK Qualifying School
PDC European Qualifying School
The First, Second, and Third Round matches are all the best of 11 legs, meaning that the first player to six legs will go through to the next round, while the losers are eliminated from the tournament.
The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Round, and Quarter-final matches are the best of 19 legs, which means that the first player to get to 10 legs will advance to the next stage of the tournament.
The Semi-final matches and the Final will be the best of 21 legs, which means that players will be aiming to reach 11 legs before their opponent does.
The 2022 Tournament Schedule
N.B. Since this competition is still quite a number of months way, the PDC have yet to release the schedule for it. However, as soon as the schedule is released, we will update the following list so that you know what date each round will take place on:
First Round TBA
Second Round TBA
Third Round TBA
Fourth Round TBA
Fifth Round TBA
Sixth Round TBA
Quarter-Finals TBA
Semi-finals TBA
Final TBA
UK Open Darts Players
There will be well over 100 players taking part in this competition, and much like in the FA Cup in football, which is what this is compared to, many of the participants do not have a chance of winning this tournament. There are a number of players that will be pretty confident of winning this competition with some of the favourites most likely being the likes of Peter Wright, Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, and Jonny Clayton. Let us have a closer look at what these four players have been up to as of late.
Jonny Clayton has been the best player in 2021 without a doubt. Over the course of the year he won the World Grand Prix, The Masters, the World Series of Darts Finals, and the Premier League Darts. He will be hoping that 2022 brings just as much fruit as 2021 did, and if he manages to keep up this form, there is a very good chance that he can win a handful of trophies next year.
Gerwyn Price used to be a rugby player, but he turned his attention to darts and has since proved that this was a really wise decision. He has had a very successful darts career, becoming the first Welshman to lift the World Darts Championship trophy in 2021. This win saw him jump ahead of Michael van Gerwen into the number one player in the world spot. Alongside this huge win, he also made it to the semi-finals of the UK Open, PDC World Cup of Darts, and the Masters.
Anyone who has paid any attention to the world of darts will have heard of Michael van Gerwen and will know that he is one of the best darts players on the circuit. He held the number one spot in the PDC rankings for more than seven years. However, his 2021 has been pretty poor to say the least as he has not managed to win a single tournament. He will be desperately hoping that his 2022 is not as lean, and we would put money on him having a very good year.
Peter Wright is probably one of the most eccentric players on the circuit, but he backs it up by being a really good darts player. In 2021, he won the World Matchplay trophy and the PDC World Cup of Darts, and was close to winning the Grand Slam of Darts. He will be happy with the year that he has had, but he will be hoping to do even better in 2022.
Previous Championship Winners
It is always a good idea to have a look at the previous winners of a tournament as you can sometimes get a rough idea as to who will win the next version of the event when it takes place. Therefore, with this in mind, below we have given you a table of previous winners of the UK Open.
2003 Phil Taylor 18-8 Shayne Burgess
2004 Roland Scholten 11-6 John Part
2005 Phil Taylor 13-7 Mark Walsh
2006 Raymond van Barneveld 13-7 Barrie Bates
2007 Raymond van Barneveld 16-8 Vincent van der Voort
2008 James Wade 11-7 Gary Mawson
2009 Phil Taylor 11-6 Colin Osborne
2010 Phil Taylor 11-5 Gary Anderson
2011 James Wade 11-8 Wes Newton
2012 Robert Thornton 11-5 Phil Taylor
2013 Phil Taylor 11-4 Andy Hamilton
2014 Adrian Lewis 11-1 Terry Jenkins
2015 Michael van Gerwen 11-5 Peter Wright
2017 Peter Wright 11-6 Gerwyn Price
2018 Gary Anderson 11-7 Corey Cadby
2019 Nathan Aspinall 11-5 Rob Cross
2020 Michael van Gerwen 11-9 Gerwyn Price
2021 James Wade 11-5 Luke Humphries
As can be seen from the table above, Phil Taylor is the most successful player in the UK Open thanks to his five wins. This is closely followed by Michael van Gerwen and James Wade with three wins apiece, while the likes of Peter Wright, Raymond van Barneveld, Nathan Aspinall, and Gary Anderson have one win each.

However, there will always be the usual suspects in contention for the title, and these are the likes of Jonny Clayton, Gerywn Price, Michael van Gerwen, or Peter Wright go on to lift the title.

WASHINGTON - A new study has shown that treating municipal wastewater solids at higher temperatures could be an effective tool in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota's College of Science and Engineering found that heating the solid waste to 55 degrees Celsius was particularly effective in eliminating the genes that confer antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotic resistant bacteria develop in the gastrointestinal tracts of people taking antibiotics. These bacteria are then shed during defecation, which is collected by the existing sewer infrastructure and passed through a municipal wastewater treatment facility.
The majority of wastewater treatment plants incubate the solid waste, called sludge, in a "digester" that decomposes organic materials. Digesters are often operated at 35 to 37 degrees Celsius.
"Many digesters are operated at our body temperature, which is perfect for resistant bacteria to survive and maybe even grow," said Timothy LaPara, who led the new University of Minnesota study.
Lab research by LaPara and colleagues has shown that anaerobic digestion of municipal wastewater solids at high temperatures (as high as 55 degrees Celsius) is capable of destroying up to 99.9 percent of various genes that confer resistance in bacteria. In contrast, conventional anaerobic digestion (operated at about 37 degrees Celsius) demonstrated only a slight ability to eliminate the same set of genes.
"Our latest research suggests that high temperature anaerobic digestion offers a novel approach to slow the proliferation of antibiotic resistance.
"This new method could be used in combination with other actions, like limiting the use of antibiotics, to extend the lifespan of these precious drugs," said LaPara.

It wasn't so long ago that young adult fiction wasn't dominated by sprawling fantasy epics; wasn't weighed down by trilogies; and didn't have Hollywood always waiting in the wings watching sales numbers and pinpointing hot properties. These are different days, indeed.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Dreamworks-produced adaptation of Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone now has Christopher Kyle performing screenwriting duties. Kyle is probably best known for writing Oliver Stone's Alexander and Kathryn Bigelow's K19: The Widowmaker, but 2000's The Weight of Water is arguably his best story. Before Shadow and Bone though, we'll get to see Serena, the Bradley Cooper/Jennifer Lawrence period drama he penned for director Susanne Bier, from a novel by Ron Rash.
Shadow and Bone, the first book in a planned trilogy, was picked up back in September by producer David Heyman, whose success with the Harry Potter series proves he knows a thing or two about fantasy films that appeal to all ages. Even though it doesn't have a director attached just yet, it would probably take a massive disaster to stop this flick from making a mint at the box office.
Stop me if you've heard this one: the novel, a New York Times Bestseller, follows a young woman, Alina, who lives in a fictionalized Russia in constant danger of a war with flesh-eating monsters. The plot unfolds as she unwittingly becomes the key to saving her world from said flesh-eating peril. There are good guys with powers who belong to a group called The Grisha, and as Alina finds her power she joins them in their fight. I doubt we'll see the bad guys win this one, or any actual flesh-eating, but one can dream.

Novomatic sure had a huge success with their online video slot "Ultra Hot", so it only makes sense that they would make a deluxe version as well. We can say it definitely looks a lot better compared to the original. Hopefully this goes for the winning combos, as well as the design. But you will just have to see for yourselves, and before you do, it's understandable that you'd want to get informed by reading the complete review below.
Novomatic's "Ultra Hot Deluxe" is a 3-reel online slot with 3 rows of fruity symbols, plus just 5 pay-lines. These pay-lines are fixed, which means that's the number the player will be playing per each spin of their reels. Of course, they will need to set just how much they'll be staking per each spin, and to do that they will need to use this game's menu section. The minimum cost of playing here amounts to just 0.20. If you happen to be a high-roller, you may be tempted to play this game at the maximum level, which amounts to 100.
So, why exactly is this the deluxe version? Well, instead of having the control buttons underneath your reels, this time around, they are to the right and left of them. Furthermore, below these reels there's info about your account balance, stake, and even your last win.
Moving on to the symbols in this "Ultra Hot Deluxe" online video slot, they will certainly remind you of those classic slots. Thus, here we'd be looking at the cherries, plums, lemons, and oranges. Other than the fruit, we also get the double stars, double bars, double red 7s, and even a black X. If you can land 3 of the red 7s on any pay-line, that would amount to as much as 3000x your line bet on this spin! Other worthy wins are, say, 800x for 3 stars, and 240x for 3 of those double bars. As for the fruit symbols, all pay 160x for 3 on a pay-line. And since the symbols which are responsible for this win suddenly catch fire, there is no missing any winning combo!
One more thing if you manage to land a winning combo: the "Ultra Hot Deluxe" offers a Gamble feature. This should make up for the fact that there aren't any Wilds or Scatters around, staying true to the old fruit machines. So, since there is no other special feature in sight, you may be more tempted to use the Gamble feature.
If you do, you would have to guess the color of the playing card. A correct guess would double your win, plus there are 4 more chances to gain even more real cash. Just keep in mind that one wrong guess means all your wins are lost. Try no to risk big payouts and only gamble with smaller ones, that is our little piece of advice to you.
As you can already guess, this is not a complicated slot game, which makes it practically ideal for gamblers who are just starting out and trying their luck when it comes to online slots. Still, it's always a great idea to check all the rules to any slot game before deciding on playing the game for real cash. Have a decent look through the pay-table, which can be found in the menu section. It's also wise to have a few free test spins before you can wager your hard-earned cash with the real thing, we're sure you'll agree.
Even though it is indeed slightly better than the original 'Ultra Hot' slot game from Novomatic, and does seem a bit deluxe, it isn't the best thing this provider has come up with. Like we already said, this game is perfect for those of you who are rather new to spinning online slots. Despite the lack of any free spins or other special features (minus the Gamble feature, of course), it is still worth a spin or two, and if you are likely to agree with us, then give it a chance on one of our top-rated online casinos. Best of luck to you all!

Mick Jagger, 'Let's Work': Hilariously Outdated Videos
Jeff Giles Published: April 5, 2017
Technology is a powerful tool in any creative medium, but what's cutting-edge today can look awfully silly tomorrow — as evidenced by the hilariously outdated video for Mick Jagger's 1987 single "Let's Work."
The lead release from Jagger's second solo LP, Primitive Cool, "Let's Work" found Jagger with a little something extra to prove. Although he was obviously already one of the world's biggest rock stars, he was also at a creative crossroads; having publicly sparred with his Rolling Stones partner Keith Richards over the amount of time he was willing to give the group, he moved from their Dirty Work album directly into preparations for his next solo release.
While Jagger had more than proven himself as a commodity within the context of the Stones, he was still trying to lay the groundwork for a successful solo career — one that started promisingly with the warm reception afforded his debut, 1985's She's the Boss. All of which loomed over the Primitive Cool sessions, which started in late 1986 and found Jagger working with an array of musicians, including Jeff Beck; it may also help explain why the veteran singer, always eager to embrace new tools and pursue new directions, opted to film the "Let's Work" video using emerging HDTV technology.
As outlined in a New York Magazine profile piece, the video depicted Jagger jogging down a highway, surrounded by traffic and a crowd of people from various walks of life — although Jagger himself was actually on a New York soundstage, miming in front of a bluescreen.
Using special effects to make it look like actors were doing things they actually weren't was nothing new in 1987, but what put the "Let's Work" video at the vanguard was the HDTV process then being pioneered by director Zbigniew Rybczyński. Already an Oscar winner by the time he worked with Jagger, Rybczyński explained to New York how HDTV allowed filmmakers to compose and complete complicated effects shots as they shot, cutting out hours of arduous post-production in the bargain.
Still very much in its infancy at the time, it would become a hugely powerful and influential tool — and "Let's Work" gave viewers one of their earliest mainstream peeks at the technology in action.
Unfortunately, it didn't do much for Jagger's solo career. While he was definitely no stranger to looking silly on video — and it hadn't stopped him from scoring a hit in the past — "Let's Work" led off the Primitive Cool promotional campaign with a bit of a whimper, stalling out in the lower reaches of the Top 40 on either side of the Atlantic. The album itself didn't fare much better, going no higher than No. 26 in the U.K. and No. 41 in the U.S. The next time audiences heard from Jagger, it would be with the Rolling Stones, who rebounded critically and commercially with 1989's Steel Wheels — and avoided highway jogging in any of the videos for the LP.

"Scrying" is a traditional method of divination using a crystal ball, glass ball, shiny stone, mirror, bowl or glass of water or other reflective object or surface. The scryer will focus on the chosen reflective surface until clairvoyant visions appear in order to answer questions or to solve problems or crimes or to locate lost objects or indeed people.
The chosen reflective surface tool of scryers is known as a speculum. The crystal ball is often associated with Gypsy Fortune Tellers as their preferred speculum. It is generally understood that the best crystal balls are four inches (or about 10 centimetres) in diameter and are fashioned from either Beryl or Quartz crystal.
These are extremely expensive to buy and many will cost hundreds of pounds. An alternative is to use a glass sphere specially made for the same purpose as these are somewhat cheaper to produce and purchase and the results are virtually identical.
When choosing a crystal or glass ball, it is best to ensure that it is free of any bubbles, blemishes or other markings to prevent any distractions. Care of your crystal or glass ball is considered to be of paramount importance too. When not in use they should be wrapped up in a soft velvet cloth or bag.
Equally as important is to disallow anyone from touching or handling your chosen speculum. Using a crystal or glass ball or any other type of speculum is not at all easy. It is thought that only 1 in 20 of interested people will have much success with this method of divination.
Similarly, it can take several days or even weeks to train your eyes and mind to project clairvoyant images onto a speculum's surface. Personally, I don't see the need to use a speculum as I see clairvoyant images in my mind's eye or they are seemingly projected just a few inches beyond my face with the outmost clarity. It is rather like having a miniature TV on the end of my nose!
If you would like to attempt Scrying for yourself without any cost, then I suggest you use a clear tumbler glass of water. This should be placed on a dark or preferably a Navy Blue surface such as a card, cloth or mat sitting on a level table or shelf and at arm's length from you.
The room lighting should be dim and if possible it is best to do it in a natural North facing light. Once you're ready, you should sit down and gaze at the glass of water for up to 20 minutes at a time. You will need to concentrate solely on the glass of water which will now have taken on a dark appearance; due to the dark card or mat it is placed upon.
Initially, you may not see anything other than the glass of water!
But if you persevere by focusing solely on the glass, you may start to see mystical clouds appearing and swirling within the confines of the glass. Typically, this happens after a few minutes of undisturbed concentration. These clouds will disperse after a minute or so to reveal a clairvoyant image.
Sometimes these visions will be static like a photograph and sometimes they will appear like a video film and all are usually in colour. The meaning behind the images may be channeled to you by telepathic means or you might be inspired to interpret them yourself with just a basic clue given.
During your early sessions of learning to scry you will undoubtedly find it very tiring and therefore it is best to limit yourself to a maximum of 20 minutes for each session and to only commit to one session per day.
After each session you will need to allow time for your eyes to readjust to their normal every day focal point. If your eyes hurt at any time then it is best to stop to save further eye strain.
You may conclude that this form of divination is not for you. The are many other types of divination to choose and from which you may be better suited.

Bloody Sunday relative: Don't jail Soldier F, even if he is found guilty of murder
Kate Nash, whose brother William died on Bloody Sunday, said most victims' families don't want to see Soldier F jailed, whatever the result of his trial
Philip Bradfield
Published: 06:30 Wednesday 28 August 2019
Most of the Bloody Sunday families do not want to see Soldier F jailed if he is found guilty of two counts of murder during the fateful protest march in Londonderry in 1972, one of their leading campaigners has said.
Kate Nash was speaking on the 40th anniversary of the Narrow Water IRA bombings near Warrenpoint, which claimed the lives of 16 members of the Parachute Regiment in what some republicans claimed was a revenge attack for the regiment's role in 14 deaths on Bloody Sunday seven years earlier.
One former Para – Soldier F – is to stand trial in Londonderry for the murder of two people on Bloody Sunday, James Wray and William McKinney.
But Ms Nash, whose 19-year-old brother William was also shot dead, said most Bloody Sunday families do not want to see Soldier F jailed, no matter what the outcome of the trial.
"There is one soldier; if he is found guilty – I mean nobody is looking for – I don't think anybody wants him jailed or anything like that," she told the News Letter.
"And that would be my experience of most of the families. That is serious, by the way, I am not just saying that."
Thirteen people were killed after the Parachute Regiment opened fire on civil rights demonstrators in Londonderry in January 1972, with a 14th victim dying months later.
Seven years later two IRA bombs at Narrow Water near Warrenpoint killed 18 soldiers, including 16 Paras.
In the aftermath of the Narrow Water bombings, graffiti appeared in some republican areas stating: "13 dead and not forgotten. We got 18 and Mountbatten."
Lord Louis Mountbatten, the Queen's second cousin, was killed in an IRA bomb attack on his leisure boat in Co Sligo on the same day.
However, Mrs Nash said she did not support any idea of revenge for those killed on Bloody Sunday.
Asked for her thoughts about the 40th anniversary of Narrow Water bombings, she replied: "I think it is very sad that so many people lost their lives, to me, in a conflict that served no purpose."
She welcomed the achievement of "one man, one vote" in council elections by civil rights campaigners in the 1970s and also affirmed that "housing conditions improved".

"But none of it was worth it for all the lives that were lost," she added.
"To me that is just so sad. How many broken hearts, how many broken families ... and no justice out there."
She clarified that she meant there was no justice for "everybody" in the Troubles.
The outspoken campaigner said she often hears "an awful lot of people" say "what was the point?" in relation to all the lives lost.
"What was the point of all this?" she asked.
Kate believes she was out of the country when the Narrow Water bombings took place and so has no personal memory of them.
And she does not give any support to those who claim that Narrow Water was in revenge for Bloody Sunday.
"Well for starters I don't agree with revenge – revenge is not a very nice thing. It implies hate and crime, doesn't it? No, I wouldn't have felt anything like that to be honest."
She had not even been aware that republicans had claimed the Narrow Water bombings as revenge for Bloody Sunday until the News Letter highlighted it to her.
"I have never heard that," she added.

Сувенир () је предмет који се купује на путовањима за успомену на одређен догађај, место или особу. Он треба да носи посебну ознаку туристичке дестинације одакле потиче, аутентичност и лаку препознатљивост, као и да пружа ширу слику о земљи, региону или месту из ког потиче. Он представља верни доказ тог поднебља или средине, због чега би требало да је у њој и произведен.

Основне карактеристике
Сувенир не може бити циљ путовања, посете или боравка, али помаже да што дуже остану у сећању пријатни доживљаји са тих путовања. Свенир треба да буде:
 релативно малих димензија (лако преносив)
 погодан за масовну производњу
 посебно естетски обраде
 релативно јефтин

Предмети који служе као сувенири
 Разгледнице
 храна и пиће типични за посећени крај, у адекватном паковању, у малој амбалажи: флаширана ракија или вино, тегла меда, компота, пекмеза или слатког
 најчешће куповани сувенир мајице, капе, шешири. качкети, оловке, пепељаре, упаљачи, привесци, календари, обележивачи страница, са именом или сликом места или манифестације
 у модерније сувенире спадају ЦД, DVD презентације, видео материјал, књиге, брошуре, проспекти, монографије, графике, сериграфије, поштанске маркице, магнети за фрижидере
 предмети занатлија и домаће радиности, делови народних ношњи или луткице у народним ношњама, кувари, мањи музички инструменти или њихове минијатуре

 реплике културно историјских споменика, скуплтуре, објеката који представљају симболе посећеног места
 музејски сувенири и сувенири из других посећених културних установа, као што су библиотеке, могу бити копије онога што се чува у таквим установама

Значај сувенира

Сувенири имају функцију задовољења туристичке потребе, утиче на повећање туристичке потрошње и може да представља значајан извор прихода за локално становништво.

Штетни сувенири

Сувенири су штетни уколико туристи односе културно, или природно благо, ретке и угрожене животиње, биљке, а понекад и "само" одређено камење. Неке државе прописују високе казне за лов или скупљање заштићених врсти, о томе обавештавају становништо у јавним медијима, те саветују туристе да не купују или не узимају такве сувенире, чак и када се не ради о угроженим врстама, како би се очували природа, биодиверзитет или културно благо.

Осим тога, неки сувенири, сами по себи могу бити штетни, посебно у случају када посетиоци немају довољно информација о ономе што желе да понесу са собом, или када предмети или места на коме се налазе нису у ту сврху предвиђени.

  Client(String url, String port) {
    baseUrl = "https://" + url + ":" + port +  "/api2/json/";
  }

  Future<List<AuthRealm>> getAuthRealms() async {
    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
    client.badCertificateCallback =((X509Certificate cert, String host, int port) => true);

    var request = await client.getUrl(Uri.parse(baseUrl + "access/domains"));

    var response = await request.close();

    return await response.transform(Utf8Decoder()).transform(JsonDecoder()).map((json) => AuthRealm.fromJson(json)).toList();
  }
}

This is my AuthRealm object class that the request is mapped to:
class AuthRealm {
  final String type;
  final String realm;
  final String comment;

  AuthRealm({this.type, this.realm, this.comment});

  factory AuthRealm.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
    return AuthRealm(
      type: json['type'],
      realm: json['realm'],
      comment: json['comment']
    );
  }
}

And this is where I am trying to get the Authentication Realms. It then passes them to a new page where they are displayed in a dropdownbutton. The serverAddress and serverPort fields are populated via TextFields.
    final nextButton = RaisedButton(
      shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(24)),
      onPressed: () {
        Client client = new Client(serverAddress, serverPort);
        client.getAuthRealms().then((values) {
          realms = values;
        });

        Navigator.push(
            context,
            MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ServerAuthLoginScreen(authRealms: realms)));
        },
      padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
      color: Colors.indigoAccent,
      child: Text('NEXT', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)),
    );

And finally the dropdownbutton section that is populated with the Authentication Realms upon loading that screen.

This is what my test proxmox server gives as a result to the GET request at the defined address:
{
   "data":[
      {
         "type":"ad",
         "realm":"CELESTIALDATA"
      },
      {
         "type":"pam",
         "comment":"Linux PAM standard authentication",
         "realm":"pam"
      },
      {
         "type":"pve",
         "comment":"Proxmox VE authentication server",
         "realm":"pve"
      }
   ]
}

Can someone please help me understand what is going wrong? FYI I just started working with Dart/Flutter a few days ago so I am still learning how things function here. I come from a Java/C++/Python background.

UPDATE:
I modified my client in response to Richard's comment:
  Future<List<AuthRealm>> getAuthRealms() async {
    HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
    client.badCertificateCallback =((X509Certificate cert, String host, int port) => true);

    http.IOClient ioClient = new http.IOClient(client);
    final response = await ioClient.get(baseUrl + "access/domains");
    print(response.body);

    final data = json.decode(response.body);
    List<AuthRealm> realms = data.map((j) => AuthRealm.fromJson(j)).toList();

    return realms;
  }

However I am still getting an error and everything I am seeing just is not working.
I/flutter (12950): {"data":[{"type":"ad","realm":"CELESTIALDATA"},{"type":"pve","comment":"Proxmox VE authentication server","realm":"pve"},{"realm":"pam","comment":"Linux PAM standard authentication","type":"pam"}]}
E/flutter (12950): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(148)] Unhandled Exception: type '(dynamic) => AuthRealm' is not a subtype of type '(String, dynamic) => MapEntry<dynamic, dynamic>' of 'transform'
E/flutter (12950): #0      Client.getAuthRealms (package:Proxcontrol/Client/client.dart:70:35)
E/flutter (12950): <asynchronous suspension>

A: May be you should use setState like this
client.getAuthRealms().then((values) {
    setState((){
        realms = values;
    });
});

in your code
    final nextButton = RaisedButton(
      shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(24)),
      onPressed: () {
        Client client = new Client(serverAddress, serverPort);
        client.getAuthRealms().then((values) {
          setState(() {
          realms = values;
        });
        });

        Navigator.push(
            context,
            MaterialPageRoute(builder: (context) => ServerAuthLoginScreen(authRealms: realms)));
        },
      padding: EdgeInsets.all(10),
      color: Colors.indigoAccent,
      child: Text('NEXT', style: TextStyle(fontSize: 20, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold)),
    );

A: data is a Map, so you need to access the element in that map that's the list of realms. Use data['data'] to reference that list.
To convert that list of decoded json bits (List<Map<String, dynamic>>) to a list of AuthRealm use .map<AuthRealm>((j) => [something that constructs an AuthRealm]).toList()
This should work:
final data = json.decode(response.body);
List<AuthRealm> realms = data['data'].map<AuthRealm>((j) => AuthRealm.fromJson(j)).toList();

Q: How to access data inside json array I have below json array:
[
{
"ABC":{
"a1": 1
},
"Xyz": 10
},
{
"abc2": {
"b2": 10
},
"x":7
}
]

I am trying below code to read the values:
Var json = JSON.parse(str);
console.log("abc:"+json[0].ABC);

I am getting "json[0].ABC" undefined error.
How do I loop this json and get the vales.
Json is generated by Gson library.
Also when I print this json string in Java after conversion I see quote before and after [] brackets. Is that causing any issue.

A: Why you need var json = JSON.parse(str) when your json variable is an object. What is your str here?
It works like this:
var json = [ { "ABC":{ " a1": 1, }, "Xyz": 10 }, { " abc2": { "b2": 10 }, " x":7 } ];
console.log("abc:"+json[0].ABC);

Result:
{" a1": 1}

A:

var data = [{
 "ABC": {
  "a1": 1
 },
 "Xyz": 10
}, {
 " abc2": {
  "b2": 10
 },
 " x": 7
}]

alert(data[0].ABC);

//for better understanding, console log and check

console.log(data);
console.log(data[0].ABC);

It takes full advantage of the KISS (keep it simple stupid) formula. I was lured by the inexpensive price and the curiosity factor.
One sale and it is free. Once you get that, and if you are a promoter with extra credits to toss around, this should surprise you. I've sent under 5K banner impressions(and quite a few banner impressions). And have already made three sales!
Considering it is a pass up system, that means I've made more than three sales. I've been wanting to try it in clixsense, because it could be very lucrative there. Especially with the large block ads but funds have been restricted due to the PV debt swap so it has been on the back burner. I am promoting it with my 'free' credits at paidverts and you already see the results.
I think the real beneficial part of the site, which I have told one of my sign ups, is the rebate factor. Since all the money goes to us and the site takes none of it, you can rebate that cash back to the person. The key here is to get them promoting. So their first sale is a bonus to them if you rebate their cost back. Their second sale comes back to you, so you see how this can snowball.
I will also post this in the downline builder with the rebate offer to anyone that joins under me. That way you can try the program for free. If you have spare credits you might be able to turn them to cash using this site.
To be honest, I've never been lucky with $5-$10 matrix sites..
But if you say it works well with such small promoting.. I could give it a try..
I currently have a bit over 200.000 Banner impressions resting at BoB and another 200.000 on TrafficG.. plus my site, paidverts, getref and BEMs.. so.. with the proper tools (banners).. this might actually pay something back.. now how much did incognito charge for those banners?
All in all, do you think it would be worth the hassle?
his 5 banner pack goes for $49 so we could get two 125 two 468 and one 728 for that.
Ok, please keep us up to date with how it goes.. and we'll decide if we'll hop in.
I'm willing to do a bulk ad test at CS with it. Maybe wait until I do that before we move on it. That could take two weeks to a month to start and if I get good results, I'll let you know.
So, is there any update on this one or is it too early to ask?
I did check another banner maker and they offered two banners for $36. They do good stuff but that is still not an expense I want to put out just now.
So I am in a holding pattern for now. The cash is almost ready to do the test. Maybe I should do it anyway.
Ok, I'll hop in.. I have a lot of banner impressions just waiting there, so let's see..
Btw, I've created some text based banners in 4 different colors to test-promote it for now.
Feel free to use any of these and let me know if you have any ideas for some specific text or image to include in a banner.
I'll now run a test with a total of 400.000 banner impressions (100.000 each) to see how people react in different colors of the same banner.
I've been trying to come up with a banner slogan that gets across the idea that you can have a friend join under you, rebate him back the cash and for him it would be free and free for him to promote. I just can't think of the right phrasing though.
Ok, this is going to be awkward!
Well......... I think it's a good "I told you so!" time right now MM..
Something I didn't know is that by paying the $5 entrance fee on CashBot they offer a bunch of ebooks dedicated on internet marketing through several ways so there is actually some good value in what we pay for.
I got a chance to download and read on one of the ebooks they offer regarding SEO and I can tell it's well written, both good quality and easy to read, so that can help both starters and more advanced users.
I'll most likely download more of their stuff and share my thoughts on them.
Also the BoB network seems to be great job at getting our banners clicked..
Oh, and many thanks for the rebate offer MM. You really didn't have to..
I would have recommended you to simply use the rebate amount for advertising on the ads page.
So, feel free to place a banner ad there at let's say a MidTop spot for a week that equals the rebate amount.
I didn't think about the ebooks because they usually aren't very helpful. I'm glad you got some value out of them. I think there are also templates that you might make use of too.


Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Tuesday criticised the National Reconstruction Authority, and by extension, his own government, for its failure to expedite post-quake reconstruction.
It will be interesting to recall that PM Oli himself had handpicked little known Sushil Gyewali as the chief executive officer of the NRA in December last year after months of political bickering over who should head the reconstruction body.
Oli was hell bent on not letting the person chosen by the Nepali Congress to continue as the NRA CEO, as a result there was a delay in the formation of the NRA. What is more interesting is as PM Oli censured the NRA, he is also to blame for the snail-paced reconstruction work, as he heads NRA's two crucial committees—directive and advisory council.
But PM Oli has long been accused of taking lackadaisical approach towards reconstruction, and the donor community has long feared politicisation of reconstruction work. Nepali Congress leader and former finance minister Ram Sharan Mahat, who was instrumental in huddling donors together in Kathmandu and extracting a pledge of over $4 billion for reconstruction, said the government has taken the whole rebuilding process "very lightly".
"They have failed to utilise available resources, including security forces. They continue to look at reconstruction from partisan point of view," he said.
Mahat argued that the Army and police, despite their stellar performance during search and rescue and relief operations, were overlooked when it came to reconstruction. Mahat blamed the absence of competent personnel in the NRA for the delays.
Not just the main opposition party, even leaders from PM Oli's own party, the CPN-UML, have expressed their dissatisfaction over the delay in reconstruction works.
"The prime minister himself should introspect about the reasons behind the delay," said an influential UML leader in Parliament. "The Ministry of Urban Development is the key agency to carry out reconstruction work. But the prime minister is yet to appoint minister. What is holding him back?" he wondered.
And the UCPN (Maoist), a key coalition partner in the Oli government, is not far behind when it comes to censuring the government for the snail-paced progress in reconstruction. The Maoist party in its recent meeting had warned of quitting the government "if the reconstruction works are further delayed".
The country is approaching the first anniversary of the devastating earthquakes, but the NRA is still struggling to rope in adequate staff and no substantive progress has been made in rebuilding quake destroyed houses and infrastructures so far.

COP21: 195 countries adopt the first universal climate agreement
Paris, 12 December 2015 - An historic agreement to combat climate change and unleash actions and investment towards a low carbon, resilient and sustainable future was agreed by 195 nations in Paris.
The Paris Agreement for the first time brings all nations into a common cause based on their historic, current and future responsibilities.
The universal agreement's main aim is to keep a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius and to drive efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The 1.5 degree Celsius limit is a significantly safer defense line against the worst impacts of a changing climate.
Additionally, the agreement aims to strengthen the ability to deal with the impacts of climate change.
To reach these ambitious and important goals, appropriate financial flows will be put in place, thus making stronger action by developing countries and the most vulnerable possible, in line with their own national objectives.
"The Paris Agreement allows each delegation and group of countries to go back home with their heads held high. Our collective effort is worth more than the sum of our individual effort. Our responsibility to history is immense" said Laurent Fabius, President of the COP 21 UN Climate change conference and French Foreign Minister.

II. Mid-term review of the EU's Biodiversity Strategy
The mid-term review of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 describes progress made in implementing the actions and achieving the targets set out in the strategy adopted in 2011. The report demonstrates that action on the ground, supported by adequate financing, can protect and restore nature and the benefits it provides. As regards the on-going fitness check of the Birds and Habitats Directives, results suggest that the legislation is not fundamentally flawed, but problems have mainly arisen due to its incomplete or inadequate implementation. It is the general view that the Nature directives do not need to be revised, as this would result in a long period of legal uncertainty, which would weaken the legislation. Review also call for a better enforcement of the legislation, including through the use of proportionate, effective and dissuasive penalties. For more information please click here.
III. Air Quality Report 2015
Air pollution is the single largest environmental health risk in Europe. It shortens people's lifespan and contributes to serious illnesses such as heart disease, respiratory problems and cancer. The report estimates that air pollution continues to be responsible for more than 430 000 premature deaths in Europe. The EEA report 'Air quality in Europe — 2015 report' examines the European population's exposure to air pollutants and provides a snapshot of air quality based on data from official monitoring stations across Europe. It shows that most city dwellers continue to be exposed to air pollutants at levels deemed unsafe by the World Health Organization (WHO). For more information click here.

The clip from the movie American Beauty suggests this life is impacted by a benevolent being or god and he sends a message... through a plastic bag. Life is inherently beautiful even in the most meaningless ways.
My take-away from this clip and many other occasions when I've encountered plastic bags floating along the winds and bumping into obstacles, redirected with each collision is that in many ways many people bounce along in their lives waiting for that inevitable event to set the direction for the next step to take.
I've lived through some of those people. It always reminded me of being taken for a ride, blind-folded, to an undisclosed location rather than being the driver expecting to arrive at a certain destination of my choosing. These people are being thrown about every which way, not having the strength to defend against all the assaults they encounter. Life happens to them rather than them taking a good hard look at life and telling it what the expectations of that relationship means to them.
My journey may try to impact me, and I will feel the blows, but the only thing that shifts about my presence in this world is a deep resurfacing of my resolve that I will not deviate from the course I plot; I will stabilize and I will maintain... and I will arrive.
This blog makes me think of my own life. I have encountered a lot of heavy blows, but I have always been able to find a way out of the tornado, which sometimes has been really hard and took a lot of strength. I hope and wish that everybody who finds himself being blown around, will eventually find his way back into calm and steady winds to be able to sail with the wind to reach whichever shore or harbor they wish to go to.

New camera enforcement
New safety camera enforcement vehicles rolled out in Lancashire
A new fleet of road safety enforcement vans is being rolled out across Lancashire today (Monday May 21st).
The high visibility vehicles, operated by Lancashire Constabulary, will play a key role in reducing road traffic collisions and injuries on the county's roads.
Eight vehicles will monitor accident routes and roads identified by members of the public to detect speeding, seat belt offences, mobile phone use and drivers not fully in control of their vehicles.
Supt Julian Platt said: "These vans have been liveried to provide a highly visible presence.
"We want drivers to see them and know we are there.
"The technicians are tasked to enforce in areas that will have the maximum impact on reducing road traffic collisions.
"We plan the technicians' shifts around the times when we see most collisions to make sure the enforcement vehicles have the maximum effect.
"By being present we hope to improve driver behaviour to make Lancashire's roads safer for everyone who uses them."
The road safety enforcement technicians are Lancashire Constabulary staff. Due to a significant increase in abusive and offensive behaviour they are equipped with body worn cameras and radios to be used in emergencies.
The new enforcement vehicles are also equipped with four CCTV cameras, which cover 360˚ surrounding the van for the technicians' safety.
Supt Platt says: "The majority of drivers are considerate and abide by the rules of the road.
"Unfortunately there is a minority who flout the rules by driving too fast, or using mobile phones at the wheel, putting everyone at risk.
"The technicians perform an important role of deterring driving which puts road users at risk and steps will be taken to investigate and prosecute anyone who is captured displaying abusive behaviour towards the technicians or deliberately obstructing them as this is clearly unacceptable.

Derick Dillard, husband of "Counting On" star Jill Duggar Dillard, has thanked fans for their support after he was booted off the TLC reality show due to his comments about transgender teen Jazz Jennings.
"Thank you to all those who have supported us and given us so many words of encouragement recently. God bless you all!" he tweeted.
Earlier, the father-of-two tweeted the Proverb, "A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. (Proverbs 17:22)," and shared a quote from Saddleback Church pastor Rick Warren.
The quote reads: "Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone's lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate."
As reported, TLC officially severed its ties with Dillard earlier this month after after he refused to use feminine pronouns when referring to Jennings, who decided to transition from male to female at a young age.
TLC released a statement on Twitter last week announcing that Derick would no longer be appearing on the network: "We want to let our viewers know that Derick Dillard has not participated in 'Counting On' for months and the network has no plans to feature him in the future. We want to reiterate that Derick's personal statements do not reflect the views of the network. TLC is proud to share the story of Jazz Jennings and her family and will continue to do so."
While the rest of the Duggar clan has remained silent regarding the issue, Amy (Duggar) King, Dillard's cousin-in-law, called for compassion in the wake of the controversy.
"You might not agree with someone or their lifestyle," she tweeted, "but you SHOULD be compassionate and show God's love regardless to everyone."
