The Humble Bra – Part 3
Posted on: November 13, 2013 /
In the 1950s, in a post-war society, women wanted glamour – and lots of it. After years of deprivation due to World War II, fashionable women emulated Hollywood stars who wore uplifting bras that seemed to achieve the impossible. Berlei, Triumph and Maidenform were big players in the manufacture and sale of quality bras that were not only functional but beautiful as well. The style of the time was for a pointed, circular, conical shape. "Sweater Girls" like Lana Turner and Jayne Mansfield, and clever advertising, inspired everyday women to pay close attention to the appearance of their breasts under clothing.
In the 1960s, bras were well designed to look good under knitted dresses. Rubber parts were eliminated and Lycra fittings became the norm. Then when Yves Saint Laurent showcased a sheer blouse worn with no bra, feminists responded with ire and demanded women burn their bras. In reality, bras were not actually burned (except as publicity stunts) and most women did not abandon their bras, though attitudes to their wear did relax somewhat. Bras became less structured and from 1965, transparent sheer fabrics were sometimes used for their construction. Women who had worn bras to bed now slept braless for the first time in many years.
The pointed shape of the 1950s made way for a more natural look. Then in 1968 the first Wonderbra was produced by Gossard, to lift and enhance cleavage like never before.
Bra slips were also popular in the 1960s: an all-in-one underwired cleavage bra and short mini slip, worn with panties and tights under a mini dress. This was the least women had ever worn!
The 1970s saw bras made seamlessly and in fabrics with colour, prints, and nude tones. The braless, natural look was in vogue. The eighth season of TV show Bewitched, for example, saw Elizabeth Montgomery create a stir as Samantha when she was obviously braless in certain scenes and outfits.
Women in the 1980s became very body conscious and erotic lingerie a la Dynasty and Dallas inspired camisoles, bodysuits and teddies.
Cleavage and shape were again popular in the 1990s and the Wonderbra made a comeback. Bras were at times worn as outerwear by celebrities such as Madonna and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Today there are bras for every circumstance, look, and occasion: sports, maternity, training, strapless, T-shirt, sexy, convertible, plunge, push-up, everyday, novelty, bridal… who knows what the future will bring in bra styling?

The Humble Bra – Part Two
Posted on: October 30, 2013 /
In 1889, Herminie Cadolle, a French corsetiere, invented what we think of as the first modern bra. Called the "corset-gorge", it was a two piece garment which consisted of a corset for the bust, and a lower corset for the waist. She described it as "designed to sustain the bosom and supported by the shoulders". Cadolle patented her invention and showed it at the Great Exhibition of 1889.
In 1893 Marie Tucek patented a breast supporter which was very similar to what we today recognise as a bra: shoulder straps, separate "cups" to support the breasts, and hook and eye closures. Initially, the design was not particularly comfortable to wear.
1907 saw Vogue magazine use the word "brassiere" for the first time. In 1915, a New York socialite named Mary Phelps Jacob patented the "backless brassiere", made of two handkerchiefs and a pink ribbon. It was sold under the name "Caresse". By the end of World War I, bra sales had taken off.
During the 1920s, the fashion was to flatten the bust as much as possible, effecting an androgynous look.
But things were soon to change after Russian immigrant Ida Rosenthal formed a company in 1922 with her husband: Maidenform. Bras had bust cups, which were attached to elastic, uplifting the breasts rather than flattening them. Thus by the 1930s, a curvier silhouette was more fashionable, and A B C D sizing charts came to be early in that decade.
World War II saw the necessity for bras to be more durable for women working in factories and on farms. In 1941, inventor and billionaire Howard Hughes used his vast engineering skills to design a bra for Hollywood actress Jane Russell: it was underwired and cantilevered, with the intention of emphasising her considerable assets. Curved steel rods under each cup were connected to the shoulder straps; it pulled the breasts upwards and allowed the straps to sit away from the neck, resulting in any amount of breast to be exposed as desired.
For the rest of this decade and into the 1950s, the busty sweater girl look was the height of style. Bras were inspired by the military, with conical and torpedo shapes very common. "Lift and separate" was the catchcry of breast fashions.
In the 1950s, bras and girdles were designed to be as glamorous as possible…
Stay tuned next time for Part 3 and the conclusion of the story of the humble bra.

The Humble Bra – Part One
The bra, like other garments, has a long, long history, dating back as far as at least 2700BC when the Greeks had the concept to restrain a woman's breasts. Wall art from the time depicts women wearing outer garments which laced and seemed to partially restrain, and partially push up and expose the breasts. In Ancient Egypt's New Kingdom, around 1570BC, women's fashion was that they were generally bare breasted.
In Classical Greece, about 750BC, women wore a belt-like garment under the bust, loosely draped and often with one breast exposed. A band of cloth known as an apodesmos, or mastodeton was also worn to bind down the breasts for exercise in places like Sparta, where women were allowed to participate in sports. When the apodesmos was worn under the breasts, it highlighted them. Another word for a breast-band or belt was strophion.
Mosaics from Rome circa 300BC depict women wearing bikini-style tops while undertaking exercise.
In China during the Ming dynasty, about 1368, a form of primitive "bra" was worn, complete with cups and straps drawn over shoulders and tied to the seam at the lower back. Popular amongst the rich, this was called a Dudou. According to Chinese legend, the beautiful concubine of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty (AD 618 – 907), Yang Yuhuan, invented Dudou. Art from the time is the first depiction we have of sexy lingerie.
In the Middle Ages women did not generally restrict or support their breasts in any way; if they did, a cloth binder was used. An edict of Strasbourg in the Holy Roman Empire, dated 1370 states, "No woman will support the bust by the disposition of a blouse or by tightened dress." In the France of Charles VII (1403-1461), a gauze drape was used over the bust. Breasts were minimised with straight bodices and full skirts; corsetry was designed for function rather than aesthetics. Contrary to this, the ideal female form of this time was large breasted and full figured.
By the mid 1500s, corsetry was used for fashion and the hourglass shape was desired. Breasts were compressed by corsets so they overflowed from the top of dresses, giving a voluptuous (and one must suspect, uncomfortable) result.
The bra's history runs in tandem with that of the corset: the Regency fashion for empire-waisted dresses liberated women, for a time, from corsets as well as any restraint of the breasts. This was in part thanks to French Empress Josephine, who during pregnancy dressed for comfort and the trend took hold.
The Victorian era of the 1800s saw women's clothing designed to emphasize both the breast and hips by severely tight-lacing the waist. Victorian women wore many layers of clothing: a chemise with a drawstring neckline, drawers, corset and corset cover, the under petticoat, the hoop skirt, the over petticoat, and finally the dress. They must have felt warm!
By 1889, the bra made its first tentative appearance…

A total of 176 local and international galleries will present their work at the 2019 ART COLOGNE. One of the country's most successful events of its kind, the fair follows a clear structure for both exhibitors and visitors, and focuses on the quality of artworks on view.
But staying consistently on top of the game in this uncertain day and age for the art market is certainly a challenge. ART COLOGNE will once again bring in some big players, David Zwirner, Hauser & Wirth and Thaddaeus Ropac included, but its dedication to the young and up-and-coming art spaces does not lack – this is where the NEUMARKT sector comes in, presenting these spaces as an integration into the contemporary section of the GALLERIES sector. An interesting highlight this year is the COLLABORATION sector, taking over both modern and contemporary art galleries.
We talk about this sector and more with ART COLOGNE's Art Director, Daniel Hug, who also discusses the way art fairs take on their existence nowadays, and what the German fair is doing to remain competent.
Widewalls: What would be your personal highlights of the 2019 ART COLOGNE?
Daniel Hug: I would definitely highlight the outstanding solo presentation of Rita Ackermann at Hauser & Wirth. Also, Nathalie Obadia is presenting a solo show of Belgian artist Joris van de Moortel, an artist I have been following for close to a decade. Finally, I am very excited about our ground level hall 11.1 where we present more historical works, including Kamel Mennour's (Paris, London) solo presentation of Korean artist Lee Ufan. And Suppan (Vienna) who are presenting a solo show of Bauhaus artist and designer Herbert Bayer, whose later work has been unfortunately overlooked.
Widewalls: How did the Collaboration section come to be? It seems to be an interesting concept of connecting participants, especially in light with Art Basel's sliding scale news.
DH: It actually developed several years ago out of our collaboration with New York's New Art Dealer Alliance (NADA), it just made sense to provide galleries and dealers an opportunity to focus joint and collaborative projects.
The COLLABORATIONS sector is, of course, not limited to contemporary art or projects. This year, we also have an additional 10 collaborations in the Modern and post-war floor focusing on more historical art.
Widewalls: What is it that returning ART COLOGNE galleries get from the fair each time, compared to the newcomers?
DH: It's different for every gallery, some cherish the access to the Rhineland collectors, some use the fair to network with directors and curators from the many important Museums and Kunstvereins in Germany, while others use ART COLOGNE to find material to sell back in the States, [or] as a means to gain acceptance to other international fairs.
Widewalls: Why is it important for a fair like ART COLOGNE to constantly reinvent itself?
DH: ART COLOGNE is constantly evolving to keep things interesting, to optimize what a fair can be, to constantly evolve. Since the crazy proliferation of art fairs some years ago, it is important to keep and build a unique profile and to have a purpose besides just being an international selling platform.
At ART COLOGNE, we work to follow where the market is heading, to reflect and implement changes early rather than later when we are forced to.
Widewalls: How would you describe the art fairs' role in today's market? Where were they 10 years ago, and where do you think they'll be 10 years from now?
DH: More important than ever, one change I have noticed is that all fairs seem to be become more identified with the regions they take place in. Fewer international collectors seem to travel abroad for fairs compared with 10 years ago, opting instead to use their "local" fair to make contact with galleries from abroad. This, of course, is a result of the growing impact of social media and the internet. I think the human interface that fairs provide will keep fairs relevant, even in 10 years.
Widewalls: What's next for ART COLOGNE?
DH: The Venice Biennial, where we host a little apéro on the 9th of May on the rooftop deck of the Paradiso in the Giardini.

Q: Simulating orbits using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation I've been having a go at programming an orbital simulator from scratch (without using any existing libraries) using the formula below to find the acceleration first for particle A and then for particle B towards each other.
$$F = \frac{m_Am_BG}{r^2}$$
$$a_{AB} = \frac{m_BG}{r^2}$$
$$a_{BA} = \frac{m_AG}{r^2}$$
The particles have masses: $m_A = 300\times10^{23}, m_B = 10\times10^{23}$
This produces what looks to be almost a correct orbit with the lighter particle B orbiting around particle A however particle A does not move in an ellipse rather a half ellipse before continuing upwards with another half ellipse and so on. This can be seen in the image below:

The time step does not seem to be an issue as I've adjusted that and it made no difference, it is currently set to $0.000001\mathrm{s}$. I'm not sure as to what might cause this.

Apple Has Wrapped Filming on Five Original TV Shows Ahead of Streaming Service Launch
Monday March 18, 2019 5:26 am PDT by Mitchel Broussard
In one week, Apple will host a media event in California focused mainly on details about its upcoming TV streaming service. This week, The New York Times published a report about the state of a few shows on the service, hinting at which ones might be available at launch, the issues some partners have with Apple's plans, and more.
According to the story, around 11 projects have either completed filming or are nearing the end of filming, meaning they are the likeliest to appear in the "first wave" of shows on Apple's service. While we'll get the first glimpse at Apple's streaming service next week, the full service isn't expected to launch until later in the year.
Shows that have finished shooting include "Are You Sleeping?" starring Octavia Spencer; Ronald D. Moore's "For All Mankind"; M. Night Shyamalan's thriller series; Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney's unnamed comedy; and "Dickinson" starring Hailee Steinfeld. Looking forward, the number of original Apple productions is expected to increase in 2020.
Apple is said to be using this event to show customers "just how many shows [it] has pulled together," and that its streaming service will be worth checking out at launch. Combined with content purchased from third parties, Apple's offering could put it on par with the size of Hulu, Showtime, or FX, according to The New York Times. Previous rumors have suggested the launch lineup would be predominantly third party content.
More than a dozen people who have had dealings with Apple's TV service did reference concerns about the project in this week's report. Many working with Apple have received "little or no information" regarding the time frame of their shows' release dates, other than vague statements like "later this year, probably fall." Apple has also not divulged marketing plans to its partners.
Apple's entertainment team has not been totally opaque. It has provided feedback to individuals involved in the shows, but it has been tight-lipped about the marketing and rollout plans. The March 25 event may allay Hollywood's concerns, but several people involved in the new programs have interpreted the lack of communication as a sign that there may not be a clear game plan.
Apple has also reportedly been "squeamish" when it comes to the portrayal of its own technology in the shows. The company is said to ask specific questions about how iPhones or MacBooks will be used, suggesting that they prefer them to be seen in positive situations.
Apple's "It's Show Time" event will kick off on Monday, March 25 at the Steve Jobs Theater on the Apple Park Campus in California. As with most Apple events, it will start at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time or 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The event is also expected to include the unveiling of its expanded Apple News service.

Too little too late.
I'm not really interested. Already have Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, and cable TV... it's already too much to handle!
NoIdentity
If it is not worldwide, I don't care. I am not looking forward on waiting 20+ years for this content to show up in my country...
Mayanja
Am so bored with this. Why do this Apple. We want good hardware. Good keyboards. More RAM. Re-designed iPad minis. And yes maybe music. You're neglecting your hardware for TV services, which we know others will always get better.
A bunch of famous people on stage saying how "Amazing" or "Beautiful" or "Incredible" it is won't do it.
bommai
I agree. Already Disney streaming is going to gut a bunch of other services. CBS has all access. Hulu and other services have original content. There is none one service that has it all. We have gone from overpaying one cable company to paying for several different providers. I went from paying nothing (used only broadcast tv) to Netflix and amazon prime.
derekamoss
This is the exact reason I don't think it will be successful. I believe the majority of people feel this way and don't want anymore stuff to have to subscribe to. Especially when people are already paying ridiculous prices for their other products already.
Bornee35
Exactly. A lot of people cut the cord on cable/satellite for overpaying on what they actually wanted. Went to a centralized Netflix. Now the companies are decentralizing online streaming to resemble cable packages again.
If it's a bunch of PG shows with violence, language, sex, and other adult subject manners scrubbed clean for family audiences, then no thanks. Did Apple look at the success of Game of Thrones and think, "Yeah, this show is good, but it would be a much bigger hit without all the sex and blood"?
nburwell
We'll actually get to see the finished product after all this news about this show and that show that Apple is currently working on.
Being that my wife and I already subscribe to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, DTV Now and HBO, I would be hard pressed to add another video streaming service to our bills. But I'll keep an open mind to see what Apple comes out with.
But Jeff Goldblum hacking an alien mothership with a PowerBook is still OK, right?
Yeah. Enjoy that. The problem is that with the current Macbooks he couldn't do that anymore because eigher the battery would run out, a key would break or worse... he forgot his dongle.

At the end of last year I was contacted by Cloudberry Records in New York. They commissioned me to illustrate the 7" vinyl cover for a band called Okama Flannel Boy, who are based in the south of Mexico City. Fernando Torres has been writing and recording jangly guitar driven songs inspired in 60's bubblegum pop, soul and "the sound of young Scotland" since the beginning of 2017.
They had seen my previous biscuit illustrations from another project & felt that this style would work well for their cover. Biscuits also made their way inside the cover onto the vinyl labels.

Luxury Lodges in Tanzania
SINGITA SABORA TENTED CAMP
Situated on the acacia-dotted plains in Tanzania's western Serengeti, Singita Sabora is primed to showcase one of the most spectacular wildlife shows on the planet. Poised in a key position in the Serengeti's 'western corridor' on the Great Wildebeest Migration route, this tented camp offers front-row seats to one-and-a-half million wildebeest sweeping through the flat savannah on their annual journey in search of nutrient-rich grass.
The 350,000-acre Grumeti Game Reserve is reserved exclusively for Singita's guests, allowing close-ups of the wildlife amid blue skies and expansive savannahs. While the migration passes through this area between May and early July, the year-round wildlife spotting opportunities in Grumeti are equally rewarding; elephant, cheetah, bat-eared fox and Maasai giraffe that nibble the treetops to name a few of the extraordinary creatures that can be spotted in the vicinity.
Nine canvas tents strategically scatter the short grass with minimum impact on the natural environment, and offer superb views. Each suite is solar powered and fully-equipped, featuring a yoga terrace, freestanding bathtubs and an outdoor deck complete with daybeds. Recently refitted, neutral tones exude a contemporary feel with netted four-poster beds, voluptuous free-standing bathtubs and floor-to-ceiling picture windows that open up to classic Serengeti panoramas.
Communal areas include a main tent that holds two dining spaces serving elevated local fare and an open-plan bar and lounge. A separate swimming pool, gym and spa tent sit at the far end of camp. Interiors continue the understated look with subtle hints of tan leather, canvas and cotton stitching for supreme yet understated comfort, allowing the emphasis to fall on the alluring natural surroundings. Wicker baskets full of gourmet treats are a thoughtful touch, nodding to Singita's signature service, and there are plenty of spots from which to watch the wildlife roam through camp on the way to the two nearby watering holes.
Couples & romantics
Wildlife enthusiasts
THINGS TO DO AT THE CAMP:
Sink into your day bed and observe the ever-changing spectacle of the Serengeti playing out around you
Round off an afternoon's game viewing with a dip in the enticing swimming pool
Get hands-on with a cookery class or wine tasting
Work off some of the camp's fine dining in the fitness centre, without having to tear yourself away from the views
Unwind after your adventures with a healing massage
Settle in after dinner to a spot of stargazing under the vast Serengeti skies
Venture out on game drives through the vast grassy plains in search of elephant, cheetah, leopard and lion
Take in the spectacle of the Great Migration between May and early July

Q: Azure Service Bus | Enable Session | Session does not receive I have a requirement to process the same set of messages together and for this, I was trying Azure Service Bus Sessions Enabled feature. To test this, I created a very simple application, a message is submitted successfully in a queue, however, while trying to receive the message in "ReceiveSessionMessage" function, a message session is not returned and the program exits after this line.
I am not able to figure out the exact root cause, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

[var messageSession = await
sessionClient.AcceptMessageSessionAsync();]

Program
using Microsoft.Azure.ServiceBus;
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace TestSendReceiveMessagesAzure
{
    class Program
    {
        static string connectionString = "";
        static string queueName = "demosessionqueue";

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Test Service Bus Session! enable feature");
            SendMessage();
            Console.WriteLine("Message Pushed");
            ReceiveSessionMessage();
        }

        private static void SendMessage()
        {
            QueueClient queueClilent = new QueueClient(connectionString, queueName, ReceiveMode.PeekLock);
            string msgJson = "{PizzaType:Veggie,SessionID:SessionId0101}";
            Message message = new Message(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(msgJson))
            {
                SessionId = "SessionId0101"
            };
            Console.WriteLine(msgJson);
            queueClilent.SendAsync(message).Wait();
        }

        private static async Task ReceiveSessionMessage()
        {
            var sessionClient = new SessionClient(connectionString, queueName, ReceiveMode.PeekLock);
            Console.WriteLine("Accepting a message session...");
            try
            {
                var messageSession = await sessionClient.AcceptMessageSessionAsync();
                Console.WriteLine($"Message.SessionID={messageSession.SessionId}");
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace);
            }
        }
    }
}

Console Output

A: The issue is with the declaration of

static void Main(string[] args) , and the calling method "ReceiveSessionMessage()" in it. The correct way of calling this function from the Program.cs was

  static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {

        Console.WriteLine("Message Session Handler..");
        await MessageSessionReceiver();
    }

"ReceiveSessionMessage" function was an async function and the calling function did not have the await keyword mentioned due to which the program exited. After changing the syntax to add await, it worked.

Tag: togel sgp
Togel singapore is a game in which a series of numbers are drawn, with the prize determined by the number of the winning combination. Unlike traditional gambling games, the winner is not typically paid out in a lump sum. Instead, they are offered either a one-time payment or a fixed sum of money.
Traditionally, lotteries have been a way to raise money for public projects, like college scholarships, libraries, roads, and bridges. Some governments have endorsed them, while others have outlawed them. In some states, people are prohibited from buying lottery tickets. In other cases, vendors must be licensed to sell tickets. Some state laws restrict the sale of tickets to minors.
In the United States, lottery tickets can be purchased in local stores or through online lottery websites. Some states have legalized online play, while others are in the process of doing so. However, online lottery plays are not as popular as sports betting. This is because players have to be physically in the appropriate state. If you are interested in playing an online lottery, you should learn more about the rules.
A few states in the Northeast are working to legalize online lottery. New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts are in the midst of establishing an online lottery system. Meanwhile, Georgia has been selling large quantities of electronic tickets. These state-run lotteries have been successful, but are still a long way from being a national lottery.
The first American colony to use lotteries for income was Jamestown, Virginia. The colony was financed by the Academy Lottery in 1755. Another example was the University of Pennsylvania. During the French and Indian Wars, several colonies used lottery to finance their military efforts.
Other notable lotteries include the Loterie Royale, which was authorized by an edict of Chateaurenard. It was a fiasco, and the tickets were very expensive. The "Slave Lottery" from 1769 featured land as prizes. It was also managed by George Washington.
Since the introduction of the New York state lottery in 1966, the amount of money generated has been more than $5 billion. The state-run lottery features a wide variety of games. Among the most popular are Mega Millions and Powerball. In addition, the state-run lottery offers games for each individual county in the state.
In addition to the state lottery, there are a few other lotteries in the U.S. Most states have a Keno or a lottery-style game. The best lottery sites offer a comprehensive range of services, including wagering and desktop and mobile apps.
When the first state-run lottery was introduced, many critics questioned the need for it. Some argued that the cost of the ticket was too high. They felt that there were other ways to generate funds for the government. Other people saw lotteries as a way to avoid taxes. But some government officials defended the benefits of the lottery, arguing that it was a fair way to tax the population.
The first big lottery on German soil was held in Hamburg in 1614. It was called Lotto di Genova, and was based on 90 numbers. It is believed that the winning slips helped fund major government projects.

Togel sgp games are among the oldest legal gambling activities in the United States. They are not to be confused with other forms of gambling. They were first used as a way to finance various public projects. They are still popular today, and some people have become millionaires by playing them. There are various types of lotteries, and many of them can be played around the world.
In the United States, the first modern government-run US lottery was created in Puerto Rico in 1934. The next official lottery in the US was established in New Hampshire in 1964. The Virgin Islands also operates lotteries in the US in 2021, while other states are allowed to run their own lotteries.
In the United States, there are 45 state-run lotteries that are open to the public. Some of these are available online, while others are only accessible at retail stores. The most popular multi-state lottery in the country is Powerball, which is available in every state except Delaware. Other multi-state games include Mega Millions and Lucky for Life. There are several other regional lottery programs in the US, such as the Georgia Lottery, which offers 10 draw games, and the Florida Lottery, which is a member of the Multi-State Lottery Association.
There are several factors to consider before buying a lottery ticket. For one thing, the size of the jackpot depends on how many numbers are drawn. Moreover, it is important to consider whether you will receive a one-time payment or an annuity payment. If you are expecting to receive a lump sum, you will need to file a claim with the IRS. In addition, you will need to provide identification documents if you are winning a larger sum.
In most cases, lottery proceeds are allocated to a variety of public programs. In the United States, most of the money goes to public schools and colleges. A smaller portion of the lottery proceeds goes to environmental programs, parks, and wildlife habitats. Some of the money goes to local governments to help fund road and bridge projects.
Most lotteries offer a few different types of prizes, including jackpots, "Pieces of Eight," and fixed prize funds. There are also instant win games, which are similar to scratch-off games. The odds of winning vary by number of numbers and the design of the lottery. Some lotteries have a 50-50 draw, where each number has a certain percentage of the receipts.
The first big lottery on German soil was held in Hamburg in 1614. The first known European lotteries were distributed by wealthy noblemen during Saturnalian revels. The Chinese Book of Songs mentions a game of chance as "drawing of lots." These lottery slips are believed to have helped finance major government projects in the Han Dynasty.
In the United States, lottery tickets are available in retail stores, online, and on gaming establishments. Most state lotteries offer keno. Some lotteries also allow players to choose their own numbers.
Purchasing a togel singapore hari ini ticket is an excellent way to earn a life-changing payout. In fact, people have become millionaires playing the lottery. There are many different lotteries in the United States, but you have to know how to choose the right one for you. There are also resources available that can help you win.
Most lotteries are run by the state. You have to buy a ticket at a local store, gaming establishment, or online. The odds of winning are very low, however. You should buy several tickets to increase your chances of winning. Some states have laws prohibiting online sales, but the US government is moving towards legalizing the sale of lottery tickets.
Most state-run lotteries are 50/50 raffles. You choose a group of numbers and then have the lottery provider draw them. Each game is different, and the prize amount depends on how many correct guesses you made. The more games you play, the better your chance of winning.
There are more than 49 official lotteries in the United States. There are two kinds of lotteries: state-run lotteries and multi-jurisdictional lotteries. Usually, the profits from lotteries go to public schools, colleges, and other institutions. There are several ways to get involved with a lotterie, but if you want to guarantee a safe, secure service, you should join an official lotterie.
There are dozens of different draw games and scratch-offs available in the Georgia Lottery. Players can choose between Powerball, Cash4Life, and a variety of other draw games. In addition, the lottery offers an online keno game.
The Colorado Lottery was launched in 1983. The funds generated from the lottery are used to support wildlife habitats, open space conservation, and parks. In addition, the lottery provides for the general fund and gambling treatment and prevention programs. In addition, the lottery is part of the Multi-State Lottery Association. The lottery provides for Mega Millions, a popular draw game. In addition, the lottery is part of Lotto America, a multi-jurisdictional lotto that features jackpots as high as $22 million.
North Dakota Lottery is a multi-state lottery that offers Mega Millions, Powerball, and Lucky for Life. The proceeds from the lottery are used to support public schools, health care, and other services. In addition, the lottery is part of Multi-State Lottery Association, which allows the lottery to operate throughout the United States.
The Pennsylvania Lottery has 11 draw games. The lottery is not available online. In order to purchase a ticket, you need to be at least 18 years old. If you are not a resident of Pennsylvania, you can still participate in the lottery by visiting an authorized retailer in your state. In addition, the Pennsylvania Lottery provides for online keno and virtual sports.
The Rhode Island Lottery is a state-wide lottery that was established in 1974. The lottery's proceeds are used for public safety, law enforcement, and education. In addition, the lottery's profits are distributed to programs for low-cost prescriptions, senior care, and transportation services. The lottery's proceeds are also used for public school construction and renovations.


I had a lot of theme entries I wanted to use for this puzzle, so intersecting and stacking them seemed like a good way to fit as many of them into the puzzle as possible. I lucked out in getting the intersecting letters to match up, and in getting the pairs of letters in the stacked entries to all yield possible perps.
The WP combo was tough, but I figured out that I could put either WPA or WPM there. I'm not that crazy about "TOGAE" at 6-Down because in real life most people would say "TOGAS," but I needed a word with an AE there so that's what I used there. I desperately wanted to fit another 5-letter theme entry at 37-Across to go with the ones I had at 23-Down and 35-Down, but I just couldn't come up with anything that would fit, so I ended up with no theme material in the center of the puzzle.
I spent a lot of time on this puzzle. I'm not sure how much. Probably over 40 hours. I built several versions of the grid that I rejected, and kept going back and moving black squares and changing fill, until I finally came up with something that I felt had clean enough fill to submit. Most experienced constructors will tell you that trying to cram too much theme material into a puzzle is a mistake, and I agree with that, but every once in a while it can work out.
I'm astonished by the amount of theme material Kevin managed to wedge into this puzzle, some of it even stacked and/or crossing other theme entries. At the last minute, just before editing, I decided this puzzle needed a theme "explainer," so the circled E and T were my idea. The E was already in place. The center-right and lower-right sections of the grid were revised to get the circled T in a symmetrical position.
Enjoyable to hear the interplay between constructor and editor. Nice puzzle today, made nicer with Will's touch of adding the circled E and T. If only the puzzle could add a sensory element to those circles, making them taste like REESES PIECES. Seriously, we have smartphones and life-saving medical devices but no one's invented "Solve N Taste" yet? Constructors: contact me for Solve N Taste® licensing rights.
An unusual layout today. I always appreciate seeing something different out of a construction, if nothing else to break convention and open one's mind to what else is possible. And this grid certainly allows Kevin to work in a lot of good stuff about a memorable movie. A drawback is that the short thematic material tends to get lost in the shuffle (I've highlighted all the theme material in the grid below to help it stand out). For some, that may not be an issue at all, but in my opinion it causes a slight loss of elegance (n.b.: some might see this layout as having increased elegance, due to the high degree of theme interlock). Additionally, the cross-referencing (OUTER/SPACE and REESES/PIECES) often causes complaints from solvers, forcing them to jump around as they solve.
Amazing that Kevin was able to jam in some long fill too, even given all the thematic constraints. DOORBELL and THE MRS are especially nice. EAR DOCTOR is a real profession (otologist), yes, but as a phrase, isn't not as snazzy as the other long fill. And given that the north and south sections suffer a bit with STER, AGIO, A GIRL, I might have preferred less long fill if it meant getting rid of some of that. But it's hard to say if breaking up some long answers would even be possible with this layout (without making the puzzle feel too segmented).
Overall, neat theme idea with a lot of good stuff packed in.
The grid uses 21 of 26 letters, missing JKQVX.
Average word length: 5.00, Scrabble score: 296, Scrabble average: 1.60.

LS okays Bill to allow captive mines' transfer sans auction
PTI17 March 2016 11:35 PM GMT
A Bill to allow transfer of captive mines without auction was approved by the Lok Sabha, a move that will enable banks and financial institutions to sell stressed assets to recover debts.
Mines Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said he brought the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Bill, 2016 after consulting different stakeholders including the SBI and industry associations.
Tomar said auction notices for 33 mines were out, of which auctioning for six was already done in three states and revenue of Rs 18,146 crore was generated. He added that auction notices for 42 more mines will be out in second stage and the figure will soon reach to 100.
"With the transfer...suppose, if one industry is sick, (if not transferred), then it will lead to unemployment, the local economy will be hit," Tomar said replying to a debate on the bill. Earlier, the ministry had sought views from the public, states and industry on amending the MMDR Act to include provisions allowing transfer of captive mines granted through procedures other than auction.
Responding to queries on the role of states in this, the minister said states will do the transfer and the revenue will go to the treasury of the states.
The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) (Amendment) Bill, 2016 was brought as the government was of the view that the transfer of captive mining leases, granted otherwise through auction, would facilitate banks and financial institutions to liquidate stressed assets where a company or its captive mining lease is mortgaged.
The step will not only help in checking the stressed and non-performing assets of banks by allowing them to liquidate the same where a firm or its captive mining lease is mortgaged, but will spur mergers and acquisitions in the sector. The MMDR Act, passed by Parliament in March last year, only allows transfer of mining leases in cases where the mine has been acquired through auction. According to Statement of Objects and Reasons, the Bill will provide for transfer of captive mining leases granted otherwise than through auction in order to facilitate legitimate business transactions.
"It was also felt necessary to define 'leased area' in order to expand the scope of lease area by including therein dumping of mineral rejects, it said. Under the existing law transfer of mineral concessions shall be allowed only for concessions which are granted through auction.
The Central government has received representations from industry associations stating that the provision has caused difficulties in merger and acquisition of a company having captive leases, it said.
The Central government has also received representations seeking clarification regarding areas for dumping of mining wastes in view of the observations made by the Supreme Court, it added.

Come on, man. Blake Gillikin returned to New Orleans after a record-tying preseason
game against the Green Bay Packers to learn that he's been randomly selected for NFL drug testing.
Gillikin shared the news on his personal Twitter account, which remains unverified though he's used
it often since he became a highly-rated high school recruit back in 2014.
It isn't unusual to see players called in for random testing this time of the year.
But the optics couldn't be worse given Gillikin just booted an 81-yard punt for the New Orleans Saints
a few days ago while dropping several other balls deep inside enemy territory.
He's established himself as a weapon for the Saints in the kicking game,
and this big game in Green Bay is just the latest proof of it. And, hey: look at Gillikin following in his mentor's footsteps.

HomeIntelligenceMISO reviews future generation plans in light of coal retirements threatening resource adequacy
MISO reviews future generation plans in light of coal retirements threatening resource adequacy
July 24, 2013 Carl Dombek Intelligence
The Midcontinent ISO (MISO) is anticipating a shortfall of approximately 7,000 MW of generating capacity when coal-fired plants retire to comply with the EPA's Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) that take effect in 2016, MISO officials said at the NARUC Summer Committee Meetings in Denver, Colo., July 23.
The current MISO generation stack consists of 85% coal-fired generation, comprising 66,000 MW of coal plants, 48,000 MW of which must take actions to comply with EPA's MATS rule. Of the remaining 18,000 MW, MISO has already seen 2,000 MW retire, and officials expect another 10,000 MW to retire before the rule takes effect.
"Most of those are old, small plants on the order of 100 MW and many are 60 years old or older, and retrofitting them to meet the new standards doesn't make sense," Clair Moeller, MISO's executive vice president for transmission and technology, said.
MISO strives to maintain resources of approximately 109,000 MW, which includes a 15% reserve margin, he said. Accordingly, the 7,000 lost megawatts will reduce reserves, but officials are hopeful that the loss will not affect the organization's ability to meet load, "provided everything else is running, and there are no forced outages" or other adverse events, Moeller said.
However, because it is the obligation of the individual states to ensure adequate generation resources, the organization lacks a complete picture of what will be available in terms of generation.
"We have a short-term problem in that we can't see where the resources are to keep us secure," Moeller said. "The only thing [participants are obligated] to tell us is when they want to connect new things to the grid."
To obtain a more complete picture, MISO has engaged with the Organization of MISO States (OMS) to survey the load-serving entities within its footprint and gather detailed information about their plans to ensure resource adequacy.
"One at a time, everybody says, 'We're fine'," Moeller said. "However, the arithmetic keeps coming back 7,000 MW short, so we're missing data."
The OMS questionnaire will ask utilities for information about the measures they will take to meet any shortfalls, including demand-side management, conservation measures they will be taking, behind the meter generation they will be calling upon, and planned purchases from neighboring utilities.
"We can get a better answer about how much of that 7,000 MW deficit is real and how much of it is because we can't see clearly what peoples' plans are," Moeller said.
Time is of the essence, he added.
"If you decide today that you want to build a generator, you probably can't get it done by 2016," he said, adding that approximately 2,000 MW of gas-fired generation scheduled to enter service in 2017 will still leave the region short for several months after the coal plants retire.
The numbers will change in December when the integration of the Entergy (NYSE:ETR) operating companies into the MISO footprint is complete. In the interim, Moeller said, state regulators have asked that MISO distribute the same questionnaire to its future member companies in the southern region so that, when the integration is completed in December, the necessary data regarding future supply availability will already be in hand.

Homer residents got a rough wake up call Friday morning in the form of a 7 magnitude earthquake that rattled the Kenai Peninsula, Anchorage, and surrounding areas.
Some Homerites, however, got a slightly more nasty shock as they traveled through Anchorage Friday morning.
The tremblor hit about 12 kilometers from Anchorage and was only about 41 kilometers deep, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
A tsunami warning was initially activated for the Cook Inlet area and Southern Kenai Peninsula, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, but it was lifted just a few hours after the initial shock.
Tom Sulczynski, an IT analyst with the City of Homer, and Bekah Taylor, who works at the Rum Locker, were in a car on the way to the Ted Stevens International Airport when the quake struck. Sulczynski was driving on the off ramp leading from Minnesota Drive to Walter J. Hickel Parkway.
Taylor, Sulczynski's passenger, said they knew it wasn't a flat tire when they saw other cars stopping on the off ramp.
The pair are flying to Seattle to take care of some business with a storage unit Taylor has there, and then on to California for a short vacation to visit Sulczynski's family. They had to abandon the vehicle on the road after climbing to a safe spot.
"There's a slab that was in front of the car that kind of was leaning from, like, the side that we were on … and so we just kind of climbed over that to get out of there," Sulczynski said.
Sulczynski said emergency services showed up about 20 minutes after the quake.
Sulczynski said a passerby offered them a ride on to the airport. He hasn't been able to get confirmation from the Anchorage Police or local towing companies that his vehicle will be removed from the road.
He said he and Taylor will continue on with their planned trip and attempt to recover the car remotely. Most of the flights are delayed, Sulczynski said.
Another Homer resident, Seth Spencer, is also at the airport awaiting a flight back to Homer. Spencer, education program coordinator for the Center for Alaska Coastal Studies, was in Anchorage for the Alaska After School Conference with fellow educator Henry Rieske were staying at the Sheraton Hotel, where the conference was being held.
At the time of the tremblor, however, Spencer said they were in a café across the street. He said power went out almost immediately after the earthquake began.
Someone shouted for everyone to get out, so Spencer and Rieske exited the café. Spencer said there was water damage to the hotel, where pipes had burst, causing ceiling tiles to fall down.
Spencer and Rieske got a Lyft to the airport, where they were already scheduled to fly back to Homer this evening. They tried to get an earlier flight, but Spencer said they've all been canceled.
"We were both supposed to present today at the conference," Spencer said.
Once they realized the power was out and the conference was canceled, Spencer said he and Rieske decided there was no reason to stick around. Coincidentally, he said members of NOAA were also in attendance at the conference, and were able to let everyone know they were safe from a tsunami at their location.
"I think overall it sounds like nobody really got injured hopefully," Spencer said.

  listenerStart SEVERE: Skipped installing application listeners due to
  previous error(s) Oct 09, 2012 8:00:48 PM
  org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log

I have verified that org.springframework.web-3.1.2.RELEASE.jar is present in the WEB-INF\ \lib\ folder and the required file is present inside it. Kindly note that I am not using any build tool to deploy this web-app like maven.
I have tried to clean and reinstall the app, restarted Tomcat, but didn't have any luck.
Please help.

A: In WEB-INF\ \lib\ where? In artifacts, or in the project? if it is in the project then it does not mean it is in classpath, If you are using eclipse and did not edit output classpath by eclipse - tomcat setting then you should make sure the .jar file is in:
..\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp1\wtpwebapps\YourApp\WEB-INF\lib
that is the default place that eclipse makes artifact and deploys it from there. So make sure you included jar file in eclipse build path configuration. First time when you add new jar or something that related to classpath then do: right click on tomcat(in eclipse) then publish from menu, By this way eclipse updates whole artifact.

A: Worth verifying if you have the project structure and required jars in classpath. You can take help of this if required for set up.

A: If you are sure all the jars are available in your lib directory, try cleaning tomcat work directory.
From eclipse (servers view), right click on Tomcat server and then click on the menu "Clean Tomcat Work Directory).
