Discussion in 'Plastering and Rendering' started by kevinwebster83, 15 Nov 2010.
I've recently had our fireplace opened out and a wood burning stove installed. I'm looking to plaster either side inside the fire place however I'm unsure as to what type of plaster/screed I need to purchase.
Having had a look on the interweb, I have found a company called VITCAS who specialize in plaster and screed for use in high temperatures.
As the brickwork is quite rough, I'm planning on using the screed to make both surfaces smoother then use the plaster for the finish.
Would this be the way to go about this?
You can use Vitcas heat proof screed but sand/cement/lime (5:1:1) render will withstand the heat just as well; build the base in 2 coats with the initial scratch coat fairly wet. Use heatproof plaster to finish over the render, inside & at least 800mm above & 500mm either side the fire opening; gypsum based plaster or boards won't stand more than 50 degrees C & will fail. Vitcas finish plaster behaves a little differently to conventional gypsum plaster, it takes rather longer to go off, is not so easy to trowel up & you must plaster up to a stop as you can't blend it in, do the heatproof bit first & then blend conventional gypsum up to it. You must also get the finish right "off the trowel" as you can't sand out any imperfections once it's dry (it's very hard); not that your supposed to sand gypsum plaster really.
Some are also cross linked but you should get all the info you need; come back if you need to.
I think I will order the Vitcas stuff and see how I get on. If I get stuck, I'll be sure to post back.
I know this post is fairly old but just wanted to check if i have the basic right for plastering chimney breast and chimney inset prior to getting stove fitted? Going to ask plasterer to use sand/cement/lime (5:1:1) render as a scratch coat, is this just one coat made fairly wet? Then use heatproof plaster (Victas) to finish over the render, how long do you need to leave render before applying finish coat? Should I do all three sides of outside chimney breast or is it ok to just do the front and stop at the corner bead where it will then be normal gypsum finish on the outer walls?
Plastering a fireplace - the RIGHT way!

A fronteira entre a Líbia e o Sudão é a linha de 386 km de extensão formada por três trechos ortogonais e nas direções de meridianos e paralelos, que separa o sudeste da Líbia do território do Sudão, no Deserto da Líbia, Darfur). Separa o distrito líbia de Cufra dos estados sudaneses de Darfur do Norte e Norte.

No sul, tríplice fronteira Líbia-Sudão-Chade, se inicia o trecho norte-sul mais curto que vai até ao paralelo 20 N. Esse trecho é curta continuação de trecho retilíneo e longo da Fronteira Chade-Sudão. Daí a fronteira segue esse paralelo para o leste até o inicio do trecho mais longo, de sul para norte, até a tripla fronteira dos dois países com o Egito.

Essa fronteira se define junto com a história das duas nações. A Itália invadiu o território líbio, tomando o mesmo do Império Otomano em 1911, passando a colonizá-lo em 1934. Na Segunda Grande Guerra, expulsos os italianos, o país é dividido entre França e Reino Unido. A independência ocorre em 1951. Depois de conflitos desde o século XIX, o Sudão, até então dominado pelo Egito e pelo Reino Unido, conquista sua independência em 1956.

Our Family Care Team
George Allan Staniland
June 29, 1936 ~ January 21, 2019 (age 82)
Allan Staniland
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and brother. After a courageous battle, Allan passed away surrounded by his family who loved him dearly.
Allan was born on the family homestead northeast of Minitonas, Manitoba, to George and Edith Staniland. He was raised on a mixed farm and he began his farming career at the age of thirteen. He worked the land and raised many animals including horses, pigs, cattle, and chickens. Allan attended Sinclair River School and as a young man, he enjoyed riding horses, fishing, playing baseball, showing cattle and the occasional friendly game of hockey with neighbours on the creek. Allan also enjoyed playing cribbage and checkers. Once he discovered curling, it became his sport with many league and bonspiel wins to his name. He was even on a team that scored an 8-ender!
Allan loved his family - he and Kay were married on July 16,1964 and were blessed with three children – Marilyn (Ron Griffith), Lee (Lynda Leslie) and Bev, many grandchildren and great grandchildren: Tyson (Kattie, Ivy and Scarlett), Amanda (Conrad, Ava and Berkley), Kyle (Michelle, Gabriel), Hillary (Darryl, Lukas), Matthew (Lesha, Athena, Winston), Anthony (Allie, Frederick, Opal). He was a loved brother to Bruce (Donna), Gwen (Fred), Jerry (Diana) and his sisters-in-law and uncle to their families.
Allan thoroughly enjoyed fishing trips with family and friends and he and Kay spent many summers at Steeprock Lake. He loved horse racing, the Rangeland Derby, the Toronto Blue Jays and music (we remember his love of yodeling). He was a practical joker and a tease.
Allan was community minded, he served on several boards including church, camp, curling, elevator and shipping association. He was also a 4-H leader for many years.
His kind heart, gentle soul, constant smile and quick wit will forever be missed.
We would like to thank the staff of Swan Valley Lodge and Hospital for their excellent care and compassion.
A private gathering for family and friends will be held, with interment, at the Minitonas Cemetery at a later date.
If friends so desire, donations in Allan's memory may be made to the Activities Unit at the Lodge c/o Swan Valley Health Facilities Foundation Inc., Box 1450, Swan River, MB, R0L 1Z0 or a charity of your choice.

Q: How to find all voted user against each debate in mongoose I have a debate collection, which holds all the debates and another collection holds the votes against each debate.

Crocs remain both a Risk and at Risk in Sabah
Saltwater crocodiles are formidable creatures. Photo Credit: Flickr
To cull them or not to cull them – that remains the question in Sabah, regarding the state's unruly population of saltwater crocodiles. The reptiles have been protected from being killed by law, but as a result their numbers have increased to such levels that local people living beside croc-infested waters have asked for permission to kill some of the animals.
"The probable reason for the increase of crocodile population is because for the past 30 years, we have been protecting the species from being hunted out and no hunting permits were given out since then," said Sen Nathan, Sabah Wildlife Department assistant director. The department is set to conduct a survey to determine how many of the predators could be hunted without endangering the viability of wild crocodile populations, according to Masidi Manjun, Sabah's minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment.

If they are directly threatened by a crocodile, locals are allowed to kill the animal. And threatened some of them have definitely been. Deadly attacks on people have been on the rise in tandem with the growing number of wild crocodiles. Since 2010 there have been 52 reported cases of human-crocodile conflicts in the state, claiming the lives of 27 people. Livestock and pets living near rivers, too, have been regularly killed.
Just a few days ago a crocodile that had been feeding on dogs from a local riverside community was captured by wildlife officials. Nicknamed "Olog-Olog" by locals, the 3.2 meter-long male croc was caught in a trap set in the Togop River. "I directed our WRU [Wildlife Rescue Unit] to set up a crocodile trap," said Sabah Wildlife Department director Augustine Tuuga. "This is by far, the biggest crocodile we have caught."
"Just in a span of six years (between 2010 and 2016), more than 75 crocodiles were caught by WRUs from areas that were causing conflict with their human inhabitants, and were translocated to forest reserves and rivers, far from human inhabitants," his deputy elucidated.

The Western Bulldogs have asked the AFL to find a home for a second women's game against Melbourne next season, after the clubs leading the code-transforming push were drawn to meet just once.
Among the surprises in the 2016 fixture was the fact that in the year before the AFL is to launch a women's competition, there was no obvious stage for two female games between the pilot sides.
At least one women's match between the Dogs and Demons is guaranteed. Undetermined, however, is the matter of a second match – a minimum expectation after the two curtain-raiser games contested by the clubs this year, which is now complicated by the AFL scheduling the men's teams to meet on a single occasion next season.
With the league yet to announce the details of its widely welcomed plan to introduce an AFL women's league from 2017, a second Bulldogs-Demons women's game could be played in the new "gap week" between round 23 and the first round of finals.
Though it would be a somewhat odd fit, a Dogs-Demons women's match might instead be contested before a Bulldogs home game against a side other than Melbourne.
An all-stars game between the 50 best female players in the country has also been mooted as a feature of next year's finals series, but Fairfax Media understands the league's plans for showcasing women's matches in 2016 – let alone the major step of launching the AFL women's league – are still evolving, with many ideas expressed by the increasing number of interested parties in recent months.
Hosts of a history-making female/male double-header in August that proved a resounding ratings success for the Seven network, the Bulldogs are especially anxious to build momentum through another home game next season and have made the point to the AFL.
After the fixture was announced on Thursday, Bulldogs CEO David Stevenson said: "That first game against Melbourne [in round eight next year] will be a great chance for us to highlight our women's team, but we're working now closely with the AFL to make sure we've got a second opportunity for us to really showcase the amazing female athletes who play for our women's team."
Melbourne is the home side in the round-eight clash between the clubs' men's teams in 2016. The game is scheduled for 3.20pm on a Sunday at the MCG.
The second meeting between the clubs this year was in round 20 and marked the first free-to-air television broadcast of a female AFL match before the men's 3.20pm fixture at Etihad Stadium.
The women's match drew a stronger ratings result than Essendon and Adelaide's clash the day before, leaving Seven executives more than impressed and floating the prospect of televising more women's football next year.
In addition to the two AFL-sanctioned exhibition matches between the Bulldogs and Demons this season, there were three female footy curtain-raisers: one interstate match between Western Australia and Victoria, two intrastate matches between sides representing the Gold Coast and Brisbane regions and a West Australian Women's Football League clash.
Having initially set 2020 as the target for a national women's competition, AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan brought the goal forward this year to 2017. Since then, the AFL has effectively said it will tender licences for female sides among its 18 clubs.

It's time to uproot racism where it began
By Laura D. Hill
Like most Virginians, I watched the racial media storm that engulfed Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam earlier this year. Hopeful that this could be a watershed moment; I applauded news reports of his plans to focus his agenda on racial reconciliation. If Gov. Northam is looking for a starting point, then let racial reconciliation begin at Jamestown, where the seeds of racism were first sown into Virginia's fertile soil.
Jamestown is where the 22 plantation owners, commonly referred to as "planters," met on July 30, 1619 to hold the first representative legislative government meeting in British North America. They desired the freedom to control their lives and destinies. Yet weeks later, when the first Africans arrived shackled aboard the "White Lion" and "Treasurer," the same legislative body denied Africans the freedom to control their lives.
Slavery was illegal in England in 1619 and Virginia was an English colony. Who was responsible for communicating and enforcing English laws? Sir George Yeardley had been appointed governor by King James I and presided over the first legislative body that would later become known as the House of Burgesses and the Virginia General Assembly.
Would Governor Yeardley turn a blind eye to the plight of the Africans who had been taken from Angola against their will? History tells us that he traded supplies to purchase some of the Africans to work on a plantation alongside English indentured servants. In the 1660s, slave laws were enacted by the Virginia legislature making slavery lawful.
As the seeds of racism took root, they grew into bountiful trees, spreading vile branches throughout the English colonies. Unchecked, the bitter fruit of racism fell upon the land and permeated 17th-century governments, law enforcement, business practices, religion and family life.
How will the 73rd governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, deal with racism that still manifests in the lives of millions of Virginians today? He says he wants racial reconciliation and to help Virginians heal. But before there can be any meaningful reconciliation, we must get to the root of racism and uproot it.
According to arborists, to remove an unwanted tree you must first cut it down to its stump. Then use a stump grinder, a high-speed power tool with an inverted blade and teeth, to cut the stump and roots into small chips.
The trees of racism underwent severe pruning in the 19th and 20th centuries. The U.S. Civil War (1861-1865) resulted in the 13th, 14th and 15th constitutional amendments that abolished slavery, guaranteed citizenship rights and equal protection under the law for all citizens and prohibited racial discrimination in voting. The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s provided federal civil rights legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Yet today, news coverage of racist acts still floods the airwaves. Why? The roots of racism were left intact.
Racial reconciliation has to take place first in the heart, through acknowledgement and repentance. At racism's root lies hatred and a misguided sense of superiority that has been passed down through generations due to a physical trait that none us chose or had any control over: the color of our skin.
If we can accept and appreciate diversity in nature when we see blooming flowers, then we can let go of long-held racist attitudes and allow ourselves to appreciate diversity in human skin tones and cultures. As the Bible states, "If a man says, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" (I John 4:20 KJV)
And racial reconciliation is a work of the soul — the mind, will and emotions.
It may be time to follow Jefferson's advice on dealing with Russia
First impeachment trial was 'the' place to be
Want to see a movie with that popcorn?
Too many show lack of integrity
U.S. is at an economic turning point
It's time to rethink how we view and feel about African Americans in our social and work environments, as well as challenge the disparaging images, stereotypes and narratives about African Americans that have been perpetuated in the media for centuries.
Finally, racial reconciliation requires that Virginia "loosen the purse strings" for reparations.
What should reparations look like? Tuition-free college education laws, such as the free tuition bill passed in January 2019 by West Virginia's legislature, should be passed for African Americans at all Virginia state colleges and universities; cultural diversity offices for all state funded agencies and institutions to provide oversight of the recruitment, hiring and advancement of African American employees; financial grants for African American owned businesses; and an African History Museum in Jamestown to preserve and honor 400 years of contributions Africans and their descendants have made to Virginia.
These measures would provide substance to Northam's racial reconciliation efforts. It's time to uproot racism, at its root -- Jamestown, Virginia -- so racial reconciliation can flourish.
Hill is the Group Leader of the Virginia Historic Triangle chapter of Coming to the Table, a national organization that helps Americans acknowledge and heal from racial wounds of the past and to dismantle systems of racial inequality, injustices and oppression.

Jordan Peterson, transphobia
Today I would like to write a short, investigative thread which uses my first-hand knowledge of the academic world in order to answer one simple question: Who is Jordan Peterson, and where did he get where he is?
We all know, of course, who Jordan Peterson is. A reactionary transphobe and crypto-evangelical preacher for the internet age. But it seems to me that, even the most critical analyses of him and his work neglects to mention how he got where he is.
My argument will be a simple one: Jordan Peterson is the single best example we have of a white man failing his way to success. The extent to which his personal connections have been a factor in his professional and public attainment cannot be exaggerated.
The first thing anyone says about him is that he is a professor at the University of Toronto. The assumption is that he got there by working hard and producing good work, like every other academic. This is not the case.
In a 2018 article for The Star, Bernard Schiff, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, admitted that he is singlehandedly responsible for getting Peterson his professorship. In his article, Schiff writes:
'Several committee members now remind me that they agreed to hire him because they were "tired of hearing me shout over them."'
This is an open admission that he, a powerful white man, singlehandedly used his academic influence to get his friend appointed professor.
Professorship and tenure are the holy grails of the academic profession. If you have them, you've truly "made it". And Peterson, with nothing other than one unbelievably bad book under his belt, had made it. But this was not enough. Naturally, you would expect him to use this incredibly privileged position as a launchpad for the international phase of his career. But even this was too challenging: Peterson still needed help from his influential friends.
This is where the debate between him and Slavoj Žižek comes in. Compared to Peterson, Žižek's pedigree is without question. Most people have forgotten about it now, but there was a time, following the publication of The Sublime Object Of Ideology, when Žižek was held in the same regard as Judith Butler or Ernesto Laclau. Suffice to say, Žižek earned his stripes. Peterson never did. So how did the two come to share a stage in Toronto?
Peterson challenged Žižek more than a year before their debate took place. But few commentators have picked up on who the official organisers of the debate were: a mysterious organisation under the name of Ralston College.
What, I hear you ask, is Ralston College? Well, technically speaking, Ralston College does not exist. This is where things get interesting.
Ralston College is supposed to be an opening-soon institute of higher education in Savannah. Its stated purpose is to combat the "rampant politicization" and "oppressive speech codes" of established universities. Its slogan, "sermo liber vita ipsa", means "free speech is life" in Latin. I am not joking.
The president of Ralston College is Stephen Blackwood, the quiet young man who moderated the Person-Žižek debate.
The only other notable thing Blackwood has done with his life, is moderate a debate between Peterson and fellow reactionary Roger Scruton, this time in Cambridge University. These two events, Peterson-Žižek and Peterson-Scruton, are the only two things that Ralston College has, to this day, actually done.
The next question is: why am I talking about Ralston College in the first place, if this institution does not even exist?
Well, Ralston College's main purpose, along with the promotion of Peterson, is to bring together like-minded white men. Among Ralston's Board of Visitors is one particularly influential white man: a little-known academic by the name of Douglas Hedley. Douglas Hedley is the Principal Investigator of a UK Arts and Humanities Research Council Grant. Which is to say, that he singlehandedly controls who among tens of PhD applicants in the UK receives funding.
Douglas Hedley's other main gig, is as Professor at the Faculty of Divinity of Cambridge University. The Faculty of Divinity of Cambridge University... why does that sound so familiar, I hear you wonder. Why, that is the very same place where Peterson received a fellowship not two months ago!
Which is very strange, when you think about it. Why would Peterson, who is, by profession, a psychologist, receive a fellowship in a Theology faculty?
This is, of course, eliding the fact that Peterson hasn't practiced clinical psychology in years, following ~ allegations ~ that he had behaved improperly towards multiple patients.
What's more, this fellowship at Cambridge University which he got through his friend Douglas Hedley, was rescinded within a week because the Cambridge Vice-Chancellor didn't want anything to do with the controversies Peterson would bring with him. (This particular bit of information is something I have gathered from direct sources, and not the official story on the matter.)
So, to summarise: every single job and accolade Peterson has ever obtained, including the debates he took part in, were things he was given by friends he had on the inside, and not things that he earned through merit. Every. Single. One.

Proclamation: Helsinki Human Rights Day, 2000 (8/1/00)
(Miami, Florida)
For Immediate Release                        August 1, 2000
HELSINKI HUMAN RIGHTS DAY, 2000
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Twenty-five years ago today, in a world marked by brutal divisions and
ideological conflict, the United States joined 33 European nations and
Canada in signing the Helsinki Final Act.  That watershed event established
the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) and affirmed an
international com-mitment to respect "freedom of thought, conscience,
religion or belief, for all without distinction as to race, sex, language,
or religion."
During the Cold War, the Helsinki Principles were the rallying point
for courageous men and women who confronted tyranny -- often at great
personal risk -- to win the fundamental freedoms set forth by the Final
Act.  Today, citizens of our vast Euro-Atlantic community from Vancouver to
Vladivostok live by, or aspire to live, by those fundamental freedoms.  The
Helsinki Final Act has been instrumental in the progress we have made
together toward building a Europe that is whole and free; a Europe where
our partnership for peace is overcoming the possibility of war.  The
Helsinki Final Act continues to shape our vision for the future of
transatlantic cooperation, and the Helsinki accords remain the basic
definition of common goals and standards for how all countries in the new
Europe should treat their citizens and one another.
The evolution of the CSCE into the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) reflects the changing face of Europe.  The
OSCE's integrated structure of commitments in the areas of human rights,
economics, arms control, and conflict resolution provides a defining
framework for a free and undivided Europe.  The United States will continue
to promote the OSCE's efforts to build security within and cooperation
among democratic societies; to defuse conflicts; to battle corruption and
organized crime; and to champion human rights, fundamental
freedoms, and the rule of law throughout the Euro-Atlantic community.  We
remain committed to the OSCE's essential work of bringing peace and civil
society back to Bosnia and Kosovo, and we are grateful to the many
dedicated men and women engaged in the OSCE's field missions, who in many
ways are our front line of conflict prevention in Europe.
Today, as we mark the 25th anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act, the
United States takes pride in remembering our role as one of its original
signatories -- a ringing call for freedom and human dignity that played a
decisive role in lifting the Iron Curtain and ending the tragic division of
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States
of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim August 1, 2000, as Helsinki
Human Rights Day and reaffirm our Nation's support for the full
the Helsinki Final Act.  I urge the American people to observe this
anniversary with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that
reflect our dedication to the noble principles of human rights and
democracy.  I also call upon the governments and peoples of all other
signatory states to renew their commit-ment to comply with the principles
established and consecrated in the Helsinki Final Act.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of
August, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-fifth.

The R¨¦publique D¨¦mocratique du Burkina Faso (until 1983 Obervolta) is a landlocked country in West Africa and borders on Mali in the west and north,Niger in the northeast, Benin in the southeast,Togo in the south,Ghana and the Ivory Coast. The national area is 274 200 km². The north of Burkina Faso is part of the Sahel region, which is repeatedly hit by drought disasters, on the outskirts of the Sahara. The landscape is mainly determined by a plateau up to 300 m high, which has isolated island mountains and low mountain ranges and which slopes slightly towards the south. The plateau is drained by a number of rivers that dry up during the dry season. In the south these are the Black, Red and White Volta, in the east small rivers connect the plateau with the Niger River in the state of the same name. This northeastern region separates the Volta and Niger basins. The highest point is the T¨¦na Kouvou with 747 m. It is part of the Sikasso sandstone plateau, which lies in the southwest of the country and breaks off steeply to the south. The Tafelland is the country ' s main riverflowed through the black volta. It is the only water course that carries water all year round. The largest city is the capital Ouagadougou,which is located in the center of the country and has around 1.2 million residents.
The south and the central part of Burkina Faso lie in the area of a changeable tropical climate. This divides the year into two sections: from June to October there is irregular rain and it is hot, the rest of the year the Harmattan, a hot dusty trade wind from the northeast, ensures a dry climate. The north is determined exclusively by dry climates, here the rainfall is less than 250 mm per year. The annual rainfall in the capital in the center of the country is 890 mm. The average temperature in Ouagadougou is around 25 °C in January and around 28 °C in July.
On the plateaus in the south you can find wet savannah with grass and small groups of trees (eg acacias, baobabs, tamarinds). The population's need for firewood has led to large-scale deforestation. With decreasing precipitation towards the north, the wet savannah changes to dry savannah in the center and finally to thorny shrub savannah in the Sahel region. Only dry grass, thorny plants and succulents grow here.
Elephants, hippos, buffalos, antelopes, crocodiles, leopards, hyenas and lions all live in the southeast and east of the state on the border with Benin (eg in Arly National Park).
According to COUNTRYAAH, Burkina Faso has about 13.93 million residents. There are over 160 tribal groups and 60 ethnic groups in the country. The largest (40% of the population) and at the same time politically most influential tribe are the Mossi, who come from the ethnic group of the Volta. The majority live in the area around the capital Ouagadougou and provided the founding president of Burkina Faso, Maurice Yameogo. In addition to the Mossi, the nomadic Fulbe and Tuareg in the north, in the west the Mande, the Lobi and the Bobo as well as the Fulani are other groups. In addition to the largest city of Ouagadougou, Bobo-Dioulasso and Koudougou are important centers.
The distribution of religions is as follows: Around 40% are followers of traditional natural religions, 50% Muslims and 10% Christians. French is the official language, about half of the residents also speak Sudanese dialects, the rest of Mande.
Literacy is only around 26.6% and life expectancy is 44 years. Population growth is a high 3.0% despite an HIV infection rate of 2.0% of the total population. Almost half of the residents are under 15 years of age.
According to the 1991 constitution, Burkina Faso is a presidential republic headed by a head of state (Blaise Compaor¨¦, since 1987) who has been elected directly for five years. The latter appoints the cabinet under the chairmanship of the prime minister (Luc-Adolphe Tiao, since April 2011).
The legislature (National Assembly) is made up of 127 parliamentary representatives elected for five years.
The legal system is based on that of France.
Burkina Faso is divided into 13 regions, which are divided into 45 provinces.
Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world, almost half of the population lives below the poverty line. In recent years there has been a slight improvement in economic conditions due to a decrease in debt (debt relief) and as a result of foreign grants. A major source of income is money transfers from plantation workers who work in neighboring Ghana and Ivory Coast, with the size of the transfers decreasing since the late 1990s.
The main economic base is the agricultural sector, which employs over nine tenths of the population. The cultivation of cotton, sesame, peanuts and tobacco is particularly important for export. A large part of the population grows millet, maize, rice, sweet potatoes and legumes for their own use in family farms. Important farm animals are cattle, goats, sheep, pigs and poultry. The lack of water is an ongoing problem for the dry and devastating country in the Sahel.
To a small extent, industrial companies are involved in the further processing of agricultural products. In addition, consumer goods such as soap, shoes, motorcycles and scooters, cigarettes and textiles are manufactured in the country. Exports are mainly to Togo, Ghana and Ivory Coast, imports are mainly from France and the Ivory Coast. Imports exceed exports.
The only train connection that leads across the country from Ivory Coast to Niger played a central role in the transportation of goods; today, however, the route is no longer completely passable. Most of the road network is unpaved. There are two international airports.
The currency is the CFA franc.

The Best, Worst and Weirdest in Holiday CDs Every year brings a flood of new holiday CDs, and with good reason: They're quick and easy to make, most if not all of the songs have already been written, and they get reissued practically every year. From Sufjan Stevens to Twisted Sister to The Chipmunks, here's a look at 2006's holiday crop.
The Best, Worst and Weirdest in Holiday CDs
< The Best, Worst and Weirdest in Holiday CDs
November 22, 20066:22 PM ET
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
The season of the holiday album is upon us. And to hear about the latest crop of holiday tunes, we turn to music writer Stephen Thompson. He's an editor and writer of NPR.org's song of the day. Good morning.
STEPHEN THOMPSON: Good morning, Renee.
MONTAGNE: Happy holidays.
THOMPSON: Happy holidays to you, too.
MONTAGNE: Now I have to say, I get a lot of these CDs every year, and it seems like more and more. In your position, I know you've been sent a pile.
THOMPSON: Yeah, an unbelievable quantity. I mean just going through the stacks, you know, and obviously some of them are from previous years. But, you know, looking at Sarah McLachlan, and James Taylor, and Brian Setzer Orchestra, Manhattan Transfer, Wynonna Judd, Robin Gibb of the BeeGees. It goes on and on.
MONTAGNE: So in that whole group of the holiday CDs that you got, let's start with one that stood out.
THOMPSON: Well, yeah. One of my absolute favorites, and I had heard a lot of these tracks on the Internet in previous years, because they have been sort of been flying around various file-sharing sites. But the singer Sufjan Stevens every year would make a Christmas EP that he would send to his friends and just sort of freely circulate. And they were just kind of recorded as a lark, but this year his record label is finally putting them out formally in the form of a five CD box set called "Songs for Christmas," and it really is a joy to listen too.
MONTAGNE: Well to start us off in the holiday spirit, pick a track.
THOMPSON: Yeah, let's go with "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing."
(Soundbite of song, "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing")
Mr. SUFJAN STEVENS: (Singing) Here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by thy (unintelligible). And I hope by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home.
THOMPSON: It just seems to be coming from - it seems to be coming from a very warm and sincere place, as a lot of Sufjan Stevens' music does.
MONTAGNE: And for those getting into the Hanukkah mood, there are some CDs out there. And I think you brought one - Woody Guthrie's "Happy Joyous Hanukkah".
THOMPSON: Yeah, by The Klezmatics. The Klezmatic's, a very venerated (unintelligible) band, been around for ages. They sort of spent this year sort of repurposing Woody Guthrie lyrics. This collection in an album of Hanukkah songs that Guthrie wrote, and the one I wanted to play with was "Hanukkah Gelt."
(Soundbite of song, "Hanukkah Gelt")
THE KLEZMATICS (Musical Group): (Singing) Hanukkah, Hanukkah, Hanukkah, one, two, three. Hanukkah, Hanukkah entity. Hanukkah, Hanukkah what makes you makes me loving you, you, you; makes me loving you, you, you.
MONTAGNE: Well, this is fun.
THOMPSON: Yeah, it really is. And I think it's a nice tribute to Guthrie, you know, who is often viewed as a very serious songwriter, but who had a, you know, rather mischievous streak and who explored a lot of different genres and ideas in his songwriting. These songs in particular were written for his kids as sort, you know, as a celebration of Hanukkah.
MONTAGNE: Now there are a lot of these albums of course that are, you know, you can dance to them.
THOMPSON: Sure.
MONTAGNE: And I know there is a one that's out by Bootsy Collins.
THOMPSON: Sure. Bootsy Collins is a, you know, was a member of Parliament Funkadelic and is sort of this larger than life funk icon. And so he put together a holiday album called Christmas is 4 - numeral four - ever. And it's just a very odd collection of, like, as you've indicated, a sort of very lively skits and vamping and goofing off.
MONTAGNE: Let's put it on.
THOMPSON: Yeah, let's put on "Sleigh Ride", which has the added joy of a truly surreal pairing between - I think the world has long been waiting for Bootsy Collins and Charlie Daniels to team up. Charlie Daniels being the fiddling country singer who brought us "Devil Went Down to Georgia". So this is "Sleigh Ride".
(Soundbite of song, "Sleigh Ride")
Ms. BOOTSY COLLINS (Singer): (Singing) For a sleigh ride together with you.
Mr. CHARLIE DANIELS (Singer): (Singing) Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up let's go. Let's look at the snow. We're riding in a wonderland of snow. Giddy-up giddy-up.
MONTAGNE: Giddy-up, giddy-up. Now I know Bootsy Collins has never taken a ride on a sleigh.
THOMPSON: You know, I wouldn't put it past him. I don't know that it's his most essential work, but it's a fun record.
MONTAGNE: While we're on the subject of unlikely Christmas albums, Aimee Mann has one out.
THOMPSON: Yeah. And listening to it, it's sort of like Aimee Mann's A Very Dour Christmas.
MONTAGNE: Not called that, though. It's called "One More Drifter in the Snow".
THOMPSON: It is called "One More Drifter in the Snow", and then the imaginary parenthetical A Very Dour Christmas.
(Soundbite of "I'll Be Home for Christmas"
Ms. AIMEE MANN (Singer): (Singing) I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on me.
THOMPSON: It's definitely not Aimee Mann gathering around the campfire with some sleigh bells and a cup of eggnog. You know, it still sounds like an Aimee Mann record. And for those of us who love Aimee Mann, I could say it's a great thing.
MONTAGNE: There are of course low points with this music every year. And of all the really bad holiday albums, if you had to pick one for us to play right now, which one would you pick?
THOMPSON: It's definitely somewhat of a difficult album to listen to, but it also brings to mind an important lesson for people. I as a kid absolutely wore out the grooves on my copy of "Christmas With The Chipmunks".
MONTAGNE: Right.
THOMPSON: To this day, you know, I put on "Christmas With The Chipmunks" and be filled with the sort of warm nostalgic glow.
(Soundbite of "Christmas Time")
Unidentified Man #1: (As David) All right you chipmunks, ready to sing your song?
Unidentified Man #2: (As Simon) Yeah, let's sing it now.
Unidentified Man #1: OK, Simon? OK, Theodore?
Unidentified Man #3: (As Theodore) OK.
Unidentified Man #1: (As David) OK, Alvin? Alvin? Alvin!
Unidentified Man #4: (As Alvin) OK.
THE CHIPMUNKS (Group): (Singing) Christmas, Christmas time is near, time for toys…
THOMPSON: It's important to remember if you have young children to only play holiday music that you yourself would want to be nostalgic for someday.
MONTAGNE: Stephen, thank you for that holiday tour of holiday music, good, bad, and nostalgic.
THOMPSON: Well, thank you so much for having me. I think Sufjan Stevens, Bootsy Collins, and Alvin and The Chipmunks have been segregated for too long. I'm glad to bring them together in one place.
MONTAGNE: Stephen Thompson is a writer and editor for NPR.org. And that's where you can go to see all of his picks for holiday music, including the newly reissued "Christmas With The Chipmunks".
(Soundbite of song, "Christmas Time")
MONTAGNE: This is MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
And I'm Steve Inskeep.

Q: Firebase database query with vue js I am using Firebase Realtime Database.
Below I enclose my firebase structure:

I am trying to recive all IDs where tags are equal to my payload(e.g. Phones)
I tried following query
firebase.database().ref('Questionnaires').orderByChild('tags').equalTo(payload).once("value")
        .then((data) => {
          commit('setLoading', false)
          console.log("Result", data.val())
        })
        .catch((error) => {
          commit('setLoading', false)
          console.log(error)
        })

But in effect I am reciving data.val() = null
I tried various approaches but still got null
Is it possible to construct that query with that data structure ? If yes please teach me. I am out of ideas.

A: I've heard relationships is a nightmare to maintain in firebase, my guess is that tags is another firebase collection? If so, switch over to another dbsm  before it is too late.

Actors From The London Stage Present "Richard III"
By Brian Sherrill, Staff Writer
From Left to Right: Alice Haig, Liz Crowther, Paul O'Mahony, Evelyn Miller, and Hannah Barrie – Courtesy of Peter Ringenberg
The 2016 Actors From the London Stage (AFTLS) company staged two performances of Shakespeare's Richard III October 28 and 29 at The Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center. The hype surrounding the arrival of these talented professionals was certainly justified. Last Friday evening, the first of their St. Louis performances during their tour, the evening started off with a bit of confusion, but ended with sincere applause and an excitingly loud standing ovation.
The confusion was caused by the AFTLS's unorthodox method of presentation. Their approach is outstandingly minimal in its set, stage, and quantity of actors – certainly in comparison to the magnitude that comes with any of Shakespeare's plays. An appropriate simile would be to imagine a knight going up against a dragon with nothing but a toothpick for a sword and a paper towel for a shield.
The company is composed of only five actors to portray all 26 Shakespearian characters in the play. The stage had no extravagantly massive sets to tower over the actors and no directorial concept to take away from the strength of the text alone of Shakespeare's play. It looked very much like an improv set; however, the performance was nothing but unconsidered.
The simplistic staging consisted of an assortment of props like scarves, hats, and sunglasses in order to distinguish between an actor's switching between characters; white tape in the shape of a trapezoid on the stage; a couple of invisible ghostlike characters, and a nicely hocked loogie that impressively soared four feet across the stage, landing bullseye onto Richard, The Duke of Gloucester.
The play consisted of the AFTLS's creative and carefully contrived theatre, constructed and rehearsed by only the five actors, the play's words and theatrical humor and tension.

The shuffling between the characters was confusing at times. Sometimes an actor would have to change props four or five times in one scene. It was a bit awkward in that aspect, but, these professionals handled their idiosyncratic approach with perfection. When the awkwardness would seem to rise and noticeably heighten, the actors would break that tension and the third wall with some sort of hilariously nuanced joke.
For example, during the introduction of all 26 characters, the actors juggled their props over their shoulders and on their heads causing the awkwardness to rise, but towards the end of their introduction, with the shorter of the female actresses donning dark sunglasses, and announced in their deepest voices with their arms out like muscular henchmen, "Murder 1 – Murder 2."
Queen Elizabeth, played by Paul O'Mahony, announced dramatically, with her hand extended out, for her ring to be kissed. Paul O'Mahony's hand stayed in place, while he shuffled to another of character, while the Queen's scarf was held up very ghost-like and his then kissed his own hand causing an uproar of laughter from the audience.
Although the act of one performer talking and pivoting and talking back to themselves between multiple characters was confusing at times, every other aspect of the play was remarkable. Richard III, played by the AFTLS was extremely unorthodox, creative, and impressive. The most stunning display of professional acting I have ever seen.

In a shameless attempt to get people to come and read this blog when it's automatically published a Twitter I used the hash-tag endoftheworld as my title.
In case you haven't noticed today is December 21. The date has become famous because (allegedly) it is the end of the world.
I spent a happy hour (and then some) being entertained (and enlightened) by the excellent Pod Delusion pod-cast.
The end of the Mayan 'Long Calendar' comes today... or maybe it doesn't. Sources are divided. From the pod-cast what I took away was something based on an ancient (really ancient) culture, some guys who took a trip (literally) and the figuratively (mushrooms were involved) and a guy who wrote a book and used the word Armageddon by his own admission to sell some books.
The Mayans don't have much to say about the end of the world, certainly nothing to do with calendars.
So what happens when we finish a calendar? We put up a new calendar, and everything goes on as usual.
Go listen to the pod-cast, they explain it much better. And I'll see you tomorrow.

Paul Simon Felt 'Fine' About Ending His Album Career
Paul Simon said his decision to stop making new albums came with "literally a click" in 2016, and he felt "fine" about the move.
The beloved singer-songwriter retired after completing that year's LP, Stranger to Stranger, although he later released In the Blue Light, a collection of reworked archive tracks. In 2018 he completed a farewell tour with a hometown show in New York, although he's made sporadic live appearances since then. A new song, "Seven Psalms," is featured in his just-released audiobook Miracle and Wonder: Conversations with Paul Simon.
"After I finished the album Stranger to Stranger, it was like, literally a click that said, 'I'm done. I think I'm done,'" Simon, 80, recalled in an excerpt from the book provided to Rolling Stone. "I said, 'I don't think that I can do this any better than I'm doing it right now. I think I can do it just as well, but it takes me three years typically to make these kinds of albums. And since I don't think I can make an album any better than I'm making it now, I think I'd rather spend my three years traveling.'"
He continued: "I think the only logical thing that I can think of to make a future work better is to shut down the process of how I make things now, which is a process that has been evolving since I'm 12. I would have thought that it would have been something that would have been upsetting. 'Whoa, you're done!' There's something scary about that. But I didn't feel upset at all. I felt fine – you know, fine."
Miracle and Wonder was produced alongside author Malcolm Gladwell, and also features contributions from Sting, Herbie Hancock, Rosanne Cash and others. "The puzzle is this guy was relevant in every decade since the 1960s," Gladwell recently said of the project. "I was trying to answer the question, 'What is different about Paul Simon?'… "He's the most un-rock-star rock star. Paul is surprisingly down-to-earth and approachable. Even if he wasn't the most successful musician of his generation, he'd be the same person."

Paul Simon was always an uneasy folksinger, a role his record company tried to push him into starting with Simon & Garfunkel's debut album.

Are you ready to open your mind to the possibility that the weird and unexplained tales of folklore and legend could actually be true? This collection of three disturbing novellas in Horrors Of The Mind by H.E. Kline will make you ponder if the impossible is possible, if myth is fact. The first novella begins with The Dream, where we meet Lacy, a nine-year-old girl who dreads falling asleep because that is when the constant nightmares begin. She is transported to Auschwitz, and experiences the Holocaust first hand. In The Haunting of the Hockomock Swamp, there is an unexplained outbreak of horrific seizures among the children of a small town, where each one seems to be tormented by a native American Indian. Journalist Janie is sent to investigate but what she uncovers is far from a medical problem, and is connected to a significant time in American history. The third novella, Immolation, sees father Doug King innocently pick up a hitchhiker, which sets in motion a terrifying ordeal of bloodthirsty killer cats, including his own.
The author's writing style reminded me of Roald Dahl's novel Tales of the Unexpected, where the weird and wonderful are a possibility. This collection of stories is a masterful creation of twists and turns, building suspense and taking you on a roller coaster ride of chilling surprises. Each of the stories had strong characters that you could relate to. The historical and medical detail is well researched. The author knows how to trigger fear and dread in the reader; he can certainly draw you into the mystical world of the paranormal. There are spine-chilling details within each story that transport you into the characters' world. The characters are believable and three-dimensional. I loved the relationship between Janie and Alan in the second novella, as it gave some light relief from the suspense of the main plot.
Each of the three novellas was compelling for different reasons but each pondered the question 'what if?' What if these events were to happen? Immolation has to be my favourite of the three. The moment Doug picked up the hitchhiker, I felt that sense of dread that something terrible was going to happen and I was not disappointed in the slightest. These stories will play on your mind and you certainly want to read this book with all the lights on and check under the bed; you never know what could be lurking.
Horrors Of The Mind by H.E. Kline is 'A Paranormal Experience' like no other. Three stories, three different tales of nail-biting horror, each connected by one common thread. Terrifying nightmares, Native American shapeshifters, and phantom hitchhikers all meld together to bring you three stories that will have you questioning your beliefs, even your own sanity as each explores a supernatural theme in a unique way. Terrifying nightmares leave Lacy battling for answers she may not want to hear. Janie and Alan investigate the horrors of the Hockamock swamp while Doug picks up a hitchhiker that changes everything – including his cat. Enter a world of twisted, scary stories that will leave you with more questions and a few sleepless nights!
Horrors Of The Mind: A Paranormal Experience by H.E. Kline is a truly terrifying series of stories and it isn't until you reach the end that you realize the connection between them. Each story is a standalone that focuses on one area of the paranormal and I guarantee the hairs will stand up on the back of your neck while you read. The historical detail is thorough and the inclusion of old legends just adds another dimension to the stories. Kline has a very vivid imagination – I may never look at my cat in the same way again! The plot of each story just flows along so nicely and the descriptive prose got right into my mind. Be prepared to be scared witless and thrilled to bits – just don't read them at night, especially when you are alone (or with a cat for company!). Disturbing, hair-raising, spine-tingling tales that will stay with you for a long time. I highly recommend this for fans of the supernatural and horror.
H.E. Kline compares well with some great horror writers of our time. She has a vivid imagination and the talent to set the scenes and accentuate them with high levels of suspense, fear, and surprise sent straight into the reader's mind and heart. Kline is adept at placing historical events and truths into a fictional story, or as Stephen King is quoted to have said: "Fiction is a lie. Good fiction is the truth within the lie." But horror is only part of the package in Horrors Of The Mind: A Paranormal Experience. As the title suggests, there are large amounts of paranormal activity as well as mystical or metaphysical here. You'll find some romance and a dash of the supernatural, too. All in all, Kline is an author to watch, a writer of significance that will someday join the "household" names.

Conference: Religion and Innovation
April 12, 2019, Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, S. C. Johnson Conference Center, 1st Floor, West Wing, Washington, DC, USA
Join noted scholars for a one day conference exploring the history and intersections of religion and innovation.
Technological breakthroughs have always been deeply intertwined with religious thought and practice. Spiritual leaders have transformed American beliefs by harnessing new technologies, from electric power and the telegraph to television and computers, in order to spread traditional teachings and inspire new religious movements. In turn, many inventors have pointed to religious inspirations for their technological leaps. This pattern continues as innovations in fields ranging from artificial intelligence to gene editing reinvigorate longstanding disputes and raise new ethical concerns.
10:30 a.m. Opening remarks
Peter Manseau, Curator of American Religious History, NMAH
11:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. Networks: Intersections of information, communication, and religion

Floods cause distress and damage wherever they happen and flooding from rivers, estuaries and the sea threatens many millions of people in Europe. Insurance losses from flooding have increased significantly since 1990 and flood management in Europe is changing with a move from flood protection and defence to comprehensive flood risk management.
FLOODrisk 2008 is an initiative of FLOODsite, the largest European research project on flooding, coordinated by HR Wallingford. FLOODrisk 2008 is an open forum for researchers, flood risk managers, policy makers and practitioners from government, commercial and research organisations, designers, owners and national agencies to discuss advances, case studies and best practice in this important subject. FLOODrisk 2008 is also supported by the Flood Risk Management Research Consortium.
FLOODrisk 2008 will explore research advances in flood risk analysis and innovations in flood risk management practice. The conference will consider all aspects of flood risk and will cover the causes of floods, their impacts on people, property and the environment, and portfolios of risk management measures.

Q: Javascript function not displaying within HTML form element

I have a javascript function which writes an input element into a HTML form based on a search through a google sheet.
I give it a search criteria based upon a dropdown within the form. The input element isn't displaying when I use the 'result' variable, I can see through the logs that the input element is being created with the correct parameters.
If I replace that variable with a value "18000", which is an option in the dropdown, the input element displays.
Can't see as to why it wouldn't work. Any help would be appreciated.

Q: gbm.perf with method = "test" returns n.trees from last run As the title says, I'm getting some interesting results from gbm.perf. The first time I ran into trouble was after a run where n.trees was set to 7,000. When gbm.perf also returned 7,000 I got suspicious. So I ran a test where n.trees was 7. gbm.perf's value: 7.

A: That's not all that unusual. What typically happens with boosting is that it can take many iterations before the cross-validated loss function bottoms out. Indeed, depending on the model that you are trying to fit, you may require thousands if not tens of thousands of trees before it hits that point. If you've got the computational resources, it would be well worth exploring the space in detail. gbm.perf will return whichever iteration stage it records as having the lowest loss function.
The gbm documentation has some very interesting examples relating to the relationship between shrinkage, loss function and the number of trees required to reach the minimum CV loss function. Check out page 8.
http://gradientboostedmodels.googlecode.com/git/gbm/inst/doc/gbm.pdf

A: It depends on your shrinkage. A small learning-rate would take more iterations to achieve minimal loss.

Every single Rolls Royce is a gem, a precious piece of craftsmanship. But of course, being elegant and classy can take the highway to hell because someone has enough money to wrap the car in gold, baby. Apparently enraged at the class of the Rolls Royce Ghost, an Italian fashion house decided to give it this ridiculous makeover.
Lamborghini Aventador is one hell of a beast, and the Avengers seeks to bring the same aggressiveness and finesse to the wrist. That was quite a challenge, but designer Marko Petrovic seems to have done just fine. The concept watch uses the rare vertical tourbillon that should come in handy to save some space in the design.
What is with dogs and their love for sticking their heads out of car windows?
Slugger motorcycle concept by Mikael Lugnegård is a bobber with the classic muscular stance and the looks to impress. Mikael didn't quite hold off in his design of this motorcycle, and that is a good thing. The Slugger is powered by a V-Twin, has a short wheelbase, inverted forks, twin vented discs up front, a rear mono shock, and all the joy of riding a beast.
The 2013 Ford Mustang has an interesting new touch. The Mustang of course retains the muscle that is so synonymous with its name, but it is this tiny addition that may be termed a "cosmetic" touch that captures the imagination.
Everything looks good on a Lamborghini, unless of course if your idea is to murder the aesthetics of the grand supercar. Thankfully, this one does not go that way. The Media Merchants used the Lamborghini Reventon as a canvas at an even to present an audio visual projection mapping experience. And they've done good; not a single scratch on the elite supercar, and a beautiful presentation to boot.

Unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show, Yamaha Y125 Moegi is a bike worthy of mention; not just for its lovely looks, but also for its unconventional construction. Designed for urban transport and comfort, the Moegi has an appearance that somewhat matches a high-end bicycle, but its slim frame also holds 125cc four stroke engine that allows for a power between 10 to 15hp.


While traditional online casino games are certainly popular, they really don't compare to the excitement and intensity of playing at a land-based establishment. But this is where live casinos can make all the difference. Live casino games offer players the same highly immersive gambling experience with the added benefit of being instantly available on desktop or mobile devices. It's like being in a real brick and mortar venue with the freedom and convenience to play against a real dealer anytime, anywhere.
For those who are new to the concept, we've taken a look at all the most popular live casino games on offer.
Blackjack is undoubtedly one of the most popular card games in the world. Using a combination of skill, strategy and luck, players face off against the dealer in a battle of wits and courage. The live version of Blackjack is played in exactly the same way as the traditional version. Streamed in real time from a professional studio, the gaming results are produced with real cards on a real table while being conducted by a real dealer.
Up to 7 players can join a table and the live casino software provides the option to bet behind at players already seated at a table. Each player is dealt his or her own set of cards that compete against the dealer's hand. Popular options include classic Blackjack and Blackjack Party.
Roulette is another land-based classic that is now being enjoyed with renewed enthusiasm. The action plays out on a real table with an authentic wheel and streamed in HD. The integrated virtual betting software allows for real-time wagering on all the full range of inside and outside bets.
Depending on the software provider, multiple cameras are used to catch every second of the action, one facing the dealer, one facing the table and on focused in on the wheel. Popular options include classic European Roulette, Double Ball, Duel Play and Lightning Roulette.
Punto Banco Baccarat is fast becoming one of the most popular live casino games in Ireland. Unlike the land-based Chemin de Fer version, this version is played against the house with players having the option to bet on the banker hand, the player hand or on a tie.
In most versions, up to 7 players can join a table with different tables for both high and low limit options. In some cases, side bets can be placed at the start of each round. Popular options include Classic Punto Banco, Speed Baccarat and Baccarat Squeeze.
Poker is the most widely played card games on the planet, and is one with the most variations. Live casino Poker is not played in the traditional pot-style method, but rather where you compete against the house. The same basic rules apply, but after the ante bet is placed, each player is dealt their own set of cards and the dealer also receives a set. The dealer's cards are dealt face down with one card facing up. The aim is to beat the dealer's hand by creating a higher-ranking hand using the cards you are dealt.
Popular options include Hold'em, Caribbean Stud, 3-card, Ultimate Texas Hold'em and Russian Poker.
Aside from the standard card and table titles, there are plenty of exciting live casino games based on popular lobby style and virtual sport variants. A good example is Evolution Gaming's Dream Catcher. This Money Wheel game simply involves betting on the numbers marked around the large spinning wheel. If the wheel lands on your number, you win the amount multiplied by your stake.
Other popular lobby-style options include Dragon Tiger, Golden Ball and Football Studio. With so much choice on offer there really is something for everyone to enjoy in this format!
