Keith Comito is at the intersection of blockchain, longevity and decentralized science

Lifespan.io President and co-founder Keith Comito was into longevity before longevity was cool.
"We started our nonprofit back in 2014," Comito said. "Back then, few credible researchers would be caught dead saying they were working on aging. It was still kind of a scientific backwater. So, we wanted to emulate what the cancer research advocates did, starting in the '40s."
He said those early advocates identified the most credible research at the time and used "old-school" fundraising approaches like telethons to crowdfund for their work. They built a grassroots movement and grew their scientific expertise. Through their efforts, defeating cancer is now an international priority with communities of millions of people crusading in the fight against this devastating disease that is closely linked to aging.
Comito said Lifespan.io is taking a similar approach but for all aging-related diseases. They've built a large community of people by sharing verified news about breaking developments in longevity, crowdfunding research using blockchain technology, and creating some of "the most successful YouTube collaborations in the space."
"In 2017, I helped write the scripts for a popular series of aging videos that were the highest-viewed videos the week they came out, with 14 million views within days. That was huge to hit those numbers six years ago, and the like ratio was overwhelmingly positive." This illustrated to the field, Keith said, that it was okay for longevity researchers to come out into the open and not be ashamed of their revolutionary and life-saving work.
Comito leverages various skills honed from a diverse background, including computer programming, biology, and mathematics. He has invented several metaverse-adjacent technologies, developed software that has been adopted in widely-used services like HBO Now, MLB at Bat and Disney+, and even accidentally created a top-charting Chuck Norris Joke Generator as a joke back in the early days of mobile applications. Today, he's looking at ways to bring our world into the metaverse that not only excite us but also heal our minds and bodies as well. Keith sees the future of Web3 overlapping and supporting the future of longevity while tying in other hot sectors like gaming and VR.
Shaking up science
Comito said that one area he's spent the last few years exploring is the pure fundraising capabilities of cryptocurrency, working with organizations such as Gitcoin and Angel Protocol to brainstorm new models of crypto philanthropy to fund scientific breakthroughs. Of course, a number of "crypto heavyweights are already supporting life extension research," he says. Vitalik Buterin, for example, has supported several longevity projects, donating crypto to causes like the SENS Research Foundation. This connection goes all the way back to the birth of cryptocurrency – through the support of early cypherpunks like Hal Finney, says Comito, who theorizes the common thread is transcending boundaries, whether financial or biological, to lead humanity to a brighter future.
The potential of blockchain technology to drive longevity research goes far beyond raising money, particularly with respect to decentralized science, or "DeSci." "There are promising potential treatments for Alzheimer's which lack traditional profit motives, for example, ones that can be developed with blockchain-based crowdsourcing," he said.
Therapies like flickering lights and sounds at certain frequencies could remediate dementia. Comito himself is working on such an approach with his colleagues at Lifespan.io – aiming to launch a first-in-kind decentralized clinical trial to test non-drug interventions for Alzheimer's disease, with the blessing of government organizations like the National Institute of Health.
"There have been very public failures on the treatment of Alzheimer's with traditional approaches," Comito said. "Over a trillion dollars has been spent on research, with strikingly little progress."
He said a non-drug solution discovered by a decentralized group of people on the internet would be a "complete earthquake." Decentralized science, powered by groups like decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), can also overcome issues associated with traditional research institutes. DAO governance promotes transparency and rewards productivity, aspects which can be instrumental in advancing longevity research.
"I think we tend to view organizations like the FDA and the NIH as being calcified and anti-crypto," Comito said. "But my experience has been that leaders of such organizations actually want us to shake things up. With the help of blockchain technology, we can achieve medical advances so powerful and undeniable that existing systems will have no choice but to change."
Crypto will power further innovation in the space
Comito acknowledges that crypto has some perception issues to overcome in the wake of the FTX collapse. However, he sees that as more of a product of the overall market. While it is true that it's hard right now for charities to raise money, Comito is optimistic that we will see a future filled with exponential growth.
"Last year, a number of charities started dipping into crypto because the market was hot," he said. "They've drunk the Kool-Aid, and now's the time to build and find out who's truly getting something interesting done. When the market recovers, these projects will be in great shape. We're building tools to do something amazing in the next several years."
Organizations like Endaoment and The Giving Block are laying the foundation for a philanthropic shift. In the longevity space, VitaDAO and the Longevity Science Foundation continue to fund cutting-edge research in the quest to help extend our lifespans and enrich our health. This could also look like crypto and blockchain technology eventually playing a role in streamlining data interactions which will have a role in facilitating longevity.
We are fast approaching a world where everyone can own their data, carrying it in their healthcare wallet. This can help eliminate bloated industry architecture that relies on paper records in so much of the world. In turn, this can accelerate opportunities for people to participate in clinical trials, reduce costs, facilitate payments to participants, limit emission-heavy travel, achieve diversity goals, and lead to more standardized data.
"Concerns have to be managed, but that is something we can do together as a crowd, which we consider a DAO of humanity," Comito said. "Blockchain technology is not going away, and will have a key part to play in a future where all people will have sovereignty – not only over their currency and data but over their healthy lifespans as well."

Collect all of The Witcher Sex Cards
The Witcher / By Sheri Newton / GameName, PC, RPG Games
Sex and Nudity in The Witcher
There is more of The Witcher 2 sex content than in the original game. However, the first game is still widely played and enjoyed by many gamers. It was one of the first games that really started the whole controversy of having nudity and sex in video games.
The only real nudity in the game was from The Witcher sex cards that the main character would collect after his sexual encounters with women he came across in the game. It really shouldn't have caused such a big debate on it and censoring the cards for the North American version. It wasn't a game directed for kids to play and was rated M for mature.
If you like sex and nudity in video games and also enjoyed "The Witcher" you should also check out and play "The Witcher 2" which has even more of this type of content in it. There are also mods for games that don't contain nudity in it originally, such as with The Sims 3 adult mods that gamers can download and use. Whatever games you enjoy playing, if you search for it, it is likely that there are some custom mods that enable you to see sex and nudity in it too.
Sex Cards in The Witcher
The Witcher sex cards are also sometimes called romance cards because they are collected after the main character Geralt has a romantic encounter with a woman in the game. They are like trophies that he collects. They show up after a cut-scene which implies that Geralt had sex with the woman in the card. These cards are the reason that the original version for the North American games of "The Witcher" had modified cards to cover up the women in the cards so they weren't nude. The "Director's Cut" version now allows for the North American versions of the game to see the women in the cards nude.
Interacting with the women and getting on their good side or doing quests for them usually is enough to get their card. The cards shown in this article are all the censored versions. To see the uncensored versions of these cards, go to The Witcher wikia.
Card Collected in the Prologue
The only card that is able to be collected during the "Prologue" is Triss Merrigold. You'll see more of her later and even in "The Witcher 2." She is a main character, so keep her satisfied! Her card is the same censored and uncensored.
Cards Collected in Chapter 1
There are three cards that can be collected during the first chapter.
Abigail is found in a house the outside parts of Vizima. Be social with her and complete quests to get this card.
Vesna is a waitress that can be found at the Inn at the outskirts of Vizima. Save her outside of the Inn after it is dark and escort her home to have a chance to get her card.
The Woman of the Outskirts' card is collected by the peasant lady that is in a yellow and green dress. All Geralt has to do is give her tulips.
There are five cards that can be collected during the second chapter.
Shani is another main character that Geralt can have a romantic encounter with. Give a gift to her grandma and he can get past her to be alone with Shani. The Witcher sex cards for this character is acquired from the "Old Friend of Mine" quest which is at Shani's house. He has another chance later to get her card too but he has to choose her or Triss.
Morenn is a Dryad that is found at Druid's grove in the swamp. Her card can be collected in this chapter or later in chapter three.
The Gossip is found walking in the Temple Quarter. To obtain this card, you'll need to give her a diamond or red women's gloves.
The half-elf card is obtained after the quest "A Ghost Story" and he saves the half-elf. Just talk to her in the house that is opposite of Vivaldi's bank. This can also be collected in chapter three.
The prostitutes' card is received after having sex with a prostitute. They can be found in the Temple Quarter or in the Trade Quarter. All of them give the same card so there isn't any need to get romantic with them all, unless of course you want to.
There are many cards that can be collected during the third chapter of "The Witcher."
Geralt can receive a second card from Triss or from Shani but not both. He'll have to choose which way to go in this chapter.
Princess Adda's card can be collected in this chapter. She is a dangerous character but she wants to willingly give Geralt the card at Leuvaarden's reception, so go ahead and give it to her.
Geralt can receive the Blue Eyes card from the Blue-eyed lass that is found at the House of the Queen of the Night which is located in Vizima. The Courtesans card looks the same as the Blue Eyes card and it is obtained by sleeping with one of the Courtesans in the Trade Quarter.
The Queen of the Night is another card Geralt can receive from sleeping with the vampire that owns the brothel.
The Noblewoman card is obtainable by sleeping with one of the noblewomen that can be found at John Natalis Square wearing a red and white outfit who wants a kikimore claw. The other woman can be found near the Town Hall wearing white and wants a silk scarf (or gold shawl).
Rozalind Pankiera is a townsfolk that Geralt can sleep with after speaking with Dandelion and completing the "Dandelion's Lute" quest.
The Town Clerk card is collected after visiting the highest floor of City Hall with a diamond in your inventory. Find the clerk that is a "naughty girl" and obtain the card!
There are four cards that can be collected during the fourth chapter.
Celina wants Geralt so she can make her sister that is getting married jealous. Give her a any ring and you'll collect this card.
The Lady of the Lake card is collected after Geralt tells her that he wants to go on "a miss-" and then saying he was just kidding around. She is lonely and after he compliments her butt, she has sex with him.
The Elf woman is found in the Elven cave once the "Daily Bread" quest is completed. Give the woman some food such as wyvern meat and she'll very willingly give the card.
There is another card given from a woman found at the Country Inn or just wandering around the village.
There are three cards that can be collected during the fifth chapter.
Toruviel is an elf that Geralt can have a romantic encounter with her if he chooses to go on the "Scoia'tael" path.
Rayla's card can be collected if Geralt decides to go on the "Order" path.
The two nurses is another one of The Witcher sex cards that can be collected in the game if Geralt decided to go on the "Witcher/Neutral path."

Wayne Rooney to snub offers from China to remain with Manchester United
Wayne Rooney: Wedding guest threatened to PUNCH drunk England ... - thesun.co.uk
It is reported that Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney will snub offers from China to remain at Old Trafford
by Danial Kennedy
23 February 2017 at 10:36 23 February 2017 at 10:36
Manchester United's and England's top goal scorer Wayne Rooney, is set to snub any moves away from Old Trafford at least until the end of the season. It was reported that the striker was linked with a move to the Chinese Super League with their transfer window shutting next Tuesday, but the 31-year-old is reportedly prepared to snub any offers from the Far East.
Wayne Rooney on the move?
Rooney has had an excellent career at Old Trafford after his move from boyhood club Everton way back in the summer of 2004. In those what is coming up to 13 years with the club, he has won anything that a player could hope for with a Champions League, FA Cup, two League Cups and five Premier League titles under his belt.
Rooney recently made history at the club with his record 250th goal in the 1-1 draw with Stoke City, which has proven a small high in a pretty low season for the now veteran striker. He hasn't been involved as much as many will have expected in Jose Mourinho's side, and has been stung with controversy with his antics in a hotel bar during his international break with England.
Rumours of a possible move have been rife for some time, with it been revealed that he received offers from China last summer and it was reported that he has been by several clubs from Asia since then.
It is reported that the likes of league champions Guangzhou Evergrande and Beijing Guoan are interested in making a move before the deadline shuts on Tuesday.
They are prepared to make Rooney the highest earner in world football with £750,000 a week but Rooney has reportedly snubbed those offers to remain with the Red Devils.
A move could be pushed through this summer however, with it reported that potential target Edison Cavani has refused to sign a new contract with current club Paris Saint-Germain.
Rooney doubt for EFL Cup final
The striker has failed to pull on a United shirt since the beginning of February having suffered a muscle injury, and has since returned to training with Mourinho's side.
However he was not part of the travelling for the second leg of their Europa League tie with St Etienne which United currently have a 3-0 lead in after their routine performance at Old Trafford.
It is set to be a important week in the club's season with the clash in France and then the EFL Cup final against Southampton on Sunday, but Mourinho who recently said that Chelsea are Premier League champions already, has stated his doubts of Rooney's availability for the clash at Wembley.
"I don't know - let's see," Mourinho told his Wednesday press conference. "Today was the first time Wayne trained and he did the basic things but when the session was high in intensity, he was not training."

Maestro is a blockchain based music platform consisting of crowdfunding centers and streaming services. Maestro focuses on building platforms where profits are distributed fairly through the transparency of blockchain technology and thereby solve capital problems: the most fundamental of the problems that underlie the industry today. Artists can reduce the burden of production costs by receiving funding through Maestro's center crowdfunding, "Ensemble." Consumers receive rights to the content they have invested. Furthermore the benefits resulting from the content are distributed among shareholders because investors receive a share of the right track, they can also develop a sense of responsibility in promoting it . In other words, Maestro can solve current funding problems through advanced funding, help secure artist rights, and operate streaming services to create an environment where music projects have a better chance of success. Rather than just focusing on the artist's share of profits, we are dealing with funding issues for all participants. We can build active, participatory music services by providing incentives to each participant. Maestro focus exclusively on creating a new music ecosystem that can support all artists, production companies and investors using blockchain technology and consider appropriate incentives for each participant. respectively.
Maestro methods will bring more benefits to consumers as well. The Maestro service already makes sense of the pricing policy in which consumers pay according to the number of songs they have actually flowing. If consumers do not use any of the services provided, they are not charged. Maestro provides incentives to consumers by allowing purely playable subscription packages based on usage. This funding structure provides new investment and communication opportunities for consumers. Consumers can choose to communicate directly with artists and become active participants in their projects. If the projects they funded succeed, they can expect a share of the profits based on the amount of their investment. Maestro is the first blockchain platform through which consumers and artists can help each other for mutual benefit.
The platform offers two dapps: Ensemble and Symphony.

The tendency to help others is a key component of mature morality. How does this tendency develop? As early as the second year of life, children begin to help parents, siblings, and even experimenters in various tasks, for instance by picking up out-of-reach objects. We are investigating how social experiences early in life affect the early development of helping, as well as how children's evaluations of others' behavior affect decisions about whom to help.

Federal government denies owing salaries to Resident Doctors, NARD
Written by COMFORT 95.1FM on September 8, 2021
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has denied reports that the federal government is owing salaries to doctors under the ageis of the National Association of Resident Doctors, NARD.
The Minister described as propaganda the allegations of the striking doctors that its members were being owed salaries for months, Ngige insisted no doctor or health worker in Nigeria is owed their monthly salary.
The minister made his stance known at the opening of the meeting of the Presidential Committee on Salaries with the leadership of the Joint Health Sector Union, JOHESU in Abuja.
In a statement by the Ministry's Deputy Director Press and Public Relations, Charles Akpan, the minister claimed that NARD doctors have failed to tell Nigerians that their colleagues who are owed salaries were illegally recruited and were neither captured by the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation nor were their payments provided for by the Budget Office of the Federation.
He, however, said that the money which the Federal Government owed few doctors and other workers was the 2020 COVID-19 allowance, besides the arrears of the consequential adjustment of the National Minimum Wage and skipping allowance which cut across other sectors.
According to him, work was in progress to clear this.
He also blamed the Nigerian Medical Association, NMA and JOHESU for bringing segregation in the negotiation for the new hazard allowance which the Federal Government already budgeted the sum of 37.5 billion naira for.
Meanwhile, Minister of State for Health, Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora, says it is a wrong time for personnel in the health sector to down tool, noting that despite financial constraints, government remains committed to payment of salaries of doctors and health workers.
On his part, the Minister of State for Finance, Budget and Planning, Clement Agba, regretted the expanding budgetary expenditure of government even as revenue continues to dwindle.
In his response, President of JOHESU, Josiah Biobelemonye said his union was the patient dog of the health sector and pressed for the swift tackling of the challenges facing its members, to avoid forcing them to strike.
ISSUES IN THE NEWS
Analysing trending News.


This is the first post in a four part series geared directly to runners, prepared for us by Allison Feldt, DPT Physical Therapist and Owner of Body Motion Physical Therapy.
Running is a major time commitment. When you are committed to running, especially if training for long distances, most of your time training is spent hitting the pavement, trails or track. So the goal with these four posts is to give you some ideas on how to keep your motor running injury free and how to enhance the motor performance come race day.
Let's be honest, most people prepare for a run by simply tying their shoes, maybe they have made sure they are adequately hydrated, have used the toilet and eaten something, if that's part of their routine. You may pull a leg up to your bottom to stretch your thigh for a few seconds but that's probably it. After the run you might do the same stretch and hop into the shower. I am going to come back to the pre-run warm up on the next post. But let me share with you the crucial elements to incorporate post-run.
After the run is the best time to incorporate static stretching. Static stretching is a prolonged hold so the muscle fibers can elongate. This is going to improve circulation to tired muscles, and enhance range of motion and flexibility. The holds should be maintained for 30 to 60 seconds. What this means to you as a runner who is probably short on time, and in a rush to jump in the shower is that you want to get into a position that will stretch the most possible structures in the shortest amount of time.
Let me share with you my absolute favorite "must do" stretches post run. Please note, sometimes post-run you may just jump in the shower and forget to stretch, but as luck would have it, these are shower safe. Much of the time that is where my post-run stretches occur. Also if you are feeling tightness in a place that was not addressed with these recommended stretches, you should absolutely stretch that area. These are just general guidelines to address the muscles most utilized during the run. If you need assistance in identifying how to stretch what feels tight, simply e-mail info@bodymotionpt.com for free guidance.
These stretches may have to be adapted if the ground is wet or raining and you're not in the mood to get soaked. The targeted muscle groups: hamstrings, hip flexors/quadriceps, gluteal muscles, calves/feet. Running uses muscles in 1 plane of motion front to back, so that is why the muscles on the front and back of our body must be stretched post run. It is also nice to incorporate the gluteal muscles which are muscles on the lateral (outside) part of the leg as these are working to stabilize you.
Hip Flexor Stretch with the Quadriceps addition: This can be done on a couch as shown, or I have been able to do this on a bumper of a car. The side of the bath tub may work too. The idea is to start with one leg supported on couch/surface, other knee is bent to 90 deg (this will allow for a stretch at the top of the hamstring). Press chest off of couch or supported surface to feel the stretch on the front of the hip and thigh (of the leg supported on the surface). The adaptation is to also bend the knee to get a quadriceps stretch. Hold 30-60 seconds and repeat 2-3x. BUT even 1 round is better than nothing.
Start on hands and knees. Lift up and bring the leg to be stretched up into a figure 4 position. Scoot back to increase the stretch. Roll a little to adjust the location of the stretch, but try to keep your pelvis square to the front. Bringing your foot closer to your elbow which will also increase the stretch. You should feel this in your gluteal muscles on the side of the bent leg. Support yourself on your elbows or hands.
Toe Stretch: (Modification to a half kneeling or standing can be done to improve tolerance).
In kneeling, place your toes on the floor so that they bend upwards. Next sit back on your calves to increase the stretch in your toes. This is also stretching the arch of the foot and is great for toe mobility (which improves the force absorption capacity of the foot). Lean forward to lessen the stretch and lean back to increase the stretch. Hold 30-60 seconds.
Hamstring Stretch: This is excellent for hamstrings, Achilles and the back. Begin facing downward in a push up position. Bend at the hips and walk your feet toward your hands until you have maximally flexed your hips while maintaining your palms on the ground. To increase the stretch, reach your hips toward the wall behind you. Attempt to maintain contact with heels to floor. Modification would be to put your hands on elevated surface such as a on a counter top and complete the same stretch.

Is the Facelift for You?
You're an adult in your 50's. You take pride in your appearance by maintaining a healthy diet and staying active. However, you've noticed that your skin is slowly beginning to lose its volume, and become a bit saggy.
If this sounds like you, don't worry! With age, the skin always tends to become a bit looser-looking. With age, production of collagen also decreases, making the skin less supple. Overexposure to the sun can also speed up the aging process.
If you would like to reverse noticeable signs of aging, and rejuvenate your appearance, you may want to consider a facelift. Ready to learn more?
Facelift surgery is also known as a "rhytidoplasty." The procedure helps create a smoother, more youthful appearance by trimming away unwanted excess skin, which can make a person look much older! During surgery, the facial skin will be lifted up, and carefully pulled back. Your surgeon will make the incision points as discreet as possible, by hiding them along the patient's hairline.
Facelifts can fix numerous age-related concerns, such as sagging in the middle of the face, deep creases underneath the eyes, jowls that appear due to a loss of muscle tone, and lines between the nose and the mouth. Loose skin and fat underneath the chin and jaw are also corrected!
While facelift surgery can certainly be performed on its own, many patients will choose to combine the surgery with other procedures. Many patients will choose to have a brow lift, or cosmetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) with their face lift, to further enhance their overall look.
Though facelift surgery offers the patient numerous benefits, it may not be right for everyone. Ideal candidates for the procedure are patients who are in good physical shape, and have realistic expectations about what plastic surgery can do for them. Remember: plastic surgery will enhance your looks, but it cannot stop the aging process!
If you are interested in learning more about the facelift procedure or other plastic surgery options, please contact Smith Plastic Surgery at 866.705.8940 or 843.705.8940 to schedule an appointment. For a map to our office, please visit here.


The coin commemorates the 70th anniversary of the appeal ("Appel du 18 Juin") made by General Charles de Gaulle, the leader of the Free French Forces, on the BBC in London on 18 June 1940. Following the fall of France, De Gaulle spoke to the French people declaring that the war was not yet over. The speech is the origin of the French Resistance against the occupation during World War II.

La pulsera de algodón WAIMEA fue creada para ser imprescindible en la muñeca de cualquier hombre durante todo el verano, haciendo una declaración a la moda pero simple.
The WAIMEA cotton bracelet was created to be a must-have on any men's wrist thru all summer, making a fashionable yet simple statement.

The surf break at Waimea Bay, located on the North Shore of O'ahu in Hawaii, was significant in the development of Big Wave surfing. Larger surf at the bay went unridden for years until November 7, 1957, when a handful of surfers finally paddled out and rode the giant waves that break off the northern point of the bay. While the surf only breaks big several times a year, Waimea was the most prestigious big wave surf break in the world for decades. With the advent of tow-in surfing, more and more big wave breaks have been discovered that are far superior in quality to Waimea. However, the bay still holds a significant place even in today's world of big wave surfing.

• Use complex passwords at least 8 characters long.
• Include both upper and lower case characters, for example PaSSword.
• For extra security include special characters (* $ - + ! ? , .), for example Pa$$w0rd!
InTouch only allows you to create a new password providing it includes a minimum of 8 characters, one of which must be numeric to ensure you create a strong password from day one.
• Never share your password with anyone, not even with your work colleagues because any fraudulent activity will be logged against your user account, for which you could be liable.
• Change your passwords frequently, at least every 6 months and its good practice to have one password per site, rather than use the same one for multiple sites. If your password has been obtained, cyber thieves will usually attempt to use this in all your online accounts including social media sites, web shops, forums and email accounts.
• Change default passwords after registering for, or obtaining a new account as soon as possible, especially if you are not prompted to do so automatically, as with InTouch. Default passwords are often well known and used in an attempt to access user accounts fraudulently.
It's possible you will want to access your InTouch account from outside your usual office and potentially on an unsecure PC (i.e. a PC which is not your own). If this is something you do to provide pricing during customer visits, Tech Data suggests you create a second log-in with minimal rights (e.g. view only access and no ordering rights).
Using your passwords on shared computers e.g. internet cafés and unknown PC's can be dangerous as your account information and passwords are at risk from malware, key loggers and other means.
Tech Data advises the Reseller Admin/InTouch Supervisor of customer accounts to regularly manage/clean-up your InTouch users in your accounts.
• Ensure you delete all company leavers as soon as they are no longer employed by your company.
This prevents unauthorised ordering against your account by non-employees.
This prevents leavers who move to your competitors from accessing your cost prices which could provide them with a competitive advantage over you when quoting for the same business.
• Regularly check the InTouch rights of your current employees; ensure only authorised purchasers have the correct ordering and drop shipment rights to prevent unauthorised and fraudulent orders.
• Create an internal process whereby your InTouch account users are created against single, individual named company emails.
• Do not allow users to share accounts if possible and do not allow multi-user accounts to be created e.g. sales, purchasing etc.
This limits the control you have over who has access to your account; users leaving your employment could still be accessing the account and unauthorised users could have ordering and drop shipment rights.
A new Security feature of InTouch for Reseller Admin/InTouch Supervisors is the option to set automatic password change requests for users at point of log-in on a three monthly basis, in addition, InTouch will only accept a password which is deemed 'strong' as indicated by the password strength indicator described above. Therefore, every three months when users log-in they will be asked to change their password, ensuring good security of their user accounts.
It is also possible to configure InTouch access for your accounts at IP address/range level to further protect your InTouch account from fraudulent access. Users with Reseller Admin/InTouch Supervisors can add an IP address/range to your InTouch account restricting InTouch access for ALL users to that IP address/range only.
• InTouch access for ALL users within the Reseller InTouch account is now restricted to this IP address/range only – access to InTouch outside of this IP address/range will be blocked, so field based users will not be able to access InTouch on site visits.
• If the user tries to access InTouch from outside the specified IP address/range more than 3 times their user account will be blocked and can only be unblocked by the Reseller Admin/InTouch Supervisor.
• If the company has an internet gateway with changing IP addresses this functionality should NOT be activated as users will NOT be able to access InTouch AT ALL.
InTouch also offers three levels of security against the active InTouch session (i.e. the period the user is active within InTouch between point of log-in and point of log-out), low, medium & high. These security settings offer various levels of protection during the user session to prevent sessions being used by anyone other than the authorized user.
Each level offers a different number of checks based on IP address, browser and also includes automatic session timeouts to prevent a user session from being 'stolen'. Tech Data's preference is for ALL users across Europe to use the HIGH Security Level for the best level of InTouch session security available.
• This changes the Session Protection Level for ALL InTouch users.
To protect both your account and InTouch against malicious attacks from the Internet, Tech Data have introduced input validation within text fields where you are requested to enter search terms or information specific to your order e.g. address details.
Firstly, unless otherwise required (such as in email addresses), most special characters cannot be entered as an input character within text fields, these include characters such as <, >, /, #, +, !, $, %, ^, &, * etc.
In addition, if we expect the field to only accept a specific character type, for example, a numeric in telephone number fields, then it will not be possible for you to enter non-numeric characters, this includes all alphabet characters (A to Z) and all special characters.


Conducting competitive exams where MCQ test sheets are required.
Collecting large amount of data from a number of application forms, questionnaires etc.
Other specialized purposes, including for attendance sheets, ballot papers etc.
Two-sided OMR sheet: Typically used when there are too many questions to fit into one page.
Black and White OMR sheets: With the advancement of technology, it is possible to have black and white OMR sheets too. It is used for many purpose like test sheets, application form etc.
Colored OMR sheets: Used for compatibility with old OMR technology. Preferably orange or red colored sheets are used. Colored sheets are accurately checked; even light markings are also detected with ease.
Barcoded Sheets: Used whenever student ID, roll no. etc need to be masked, in order to prevent misplacement of sheets or duplication of answers.
Other formats: Sheets containing Lithocode, foldable sheets, carbonless printed sheets, detachable sheets etc.
MCQ Test sheet are used when the multiple-choice questions are asked in the examination. It is known as OMR answer sheet.
OMR answer sheet has numerical block, column matching and alphabetic block.
OMR answer sheet with column matrix type.
OMR answer sheet with ABCD blocks and numerical (integer) type blocks.
OMR application form (with multiple blocks): optical mark reading (OMR), optical character reading (OCR), photo block and barcode.
With the help of the Addmen OMR Software, it is possible to use black and white omr sheets also. These omr sheets are printed on the white paper.
In some exams, colored omr sheet is preferred as it is very easy for the OMR scanner to detect the filled information on it. It gives accurate result. Two colors have to be used in this case; one has to be black while the others can be red, pink, orange, golden yellow, etc. Colored sheets are also used if the examination body is using the old OMR technology to read the OMR sheets.
When the questions are large in number then this type of OMR sheet is used. For the application forms also duplex or two –sided OMR sheets are used.
In order to properly identify the sheet bar code is given on it, candidates need to take care of the bar code and do not scratch it. Bar code contains very important information. OMR sheets with barcodes are usually used for avoiding malpractices during examination or evaluation. This OMR sheet is used to fill feedback form also where the candidates do not want to reveal their identities directly.
These sheets are the best alternative of barcode OMR sheets. There are some limitations of barcode OMR sheets due to which lithopone OMR sheets are used. Main benefit of using these sheets is printing and obsored series.
Some OMR sheets, which are used for application form or feedback form, are printed on longer paper. Crease line is provided on the folded OMR sheet through which it can be folded. These OMR sheets can be folded and put into A4 envelope also. This prevents the sheets from getting damaged during storage or transportation.
These sheets are attached with the question booklet which the candidate has to tear. Detachable sheets are easy to separate from the booklet. It is used to hide the identity of the candidates from examiners in confidential examinations.
These types of sheets are used in some exams where candidates are allowed to take carbonless OMR sheet with them in order to check their answer. These are very sensitive sheets and the students have to make sure that they submit the master copy and take only the second copy home.
These OMR sheets are printed on very thick paper and have a time line instead of index points. These sheets are first designed in CorelDraw or any such DTP software and are printed and scanned at a high resolution. The Addmen OMR software can read these sheets.
The Addmen OMR sheet can design the OMR sheets quickly by just dragging and dropping the bubbles in the grid. These sheets have index points on the four corners and can be printed in black and white or color. Once the sheets are designed, they can be printed on regular printing sheets with an inkjet or laser printer.

On Fox, Court Ruling Ensuring All Ohioans Have Equal Access To The Polls Described As Obama Attack On Military Voting
Blog ››› September 4, 2012 4:44 PM EDT ››› TIMOTHY JOHNSON
Fox News is now mischaracterizing a court ruling requiring the state of Ohio to allow in-person early voting during the last three days before the election as unfair to members of the military.
On Friday a federal court adopted an injunction preventing Ohio election officials from implementing new restrictions on in-person early voting. The ruling came in response to an Obama campaign lawsuit that sought to overturn a 2011 statute that halted early voting access in the three days leading up to the election except for members of the military and their families. The Obama campaign sought to restore access to the polls for all Ohio residents during that period.
The court agreed, finding that allowing both military and non-military citizens to equally participate in early voting "places all Ohio voters on equal standing." Indeed, the ruling has no impact on military voters and their families, but simply provides all other Ohioans with the same access to the polls they were scheduled to enjoy.
But during the September 3 edition of America Live, Fox News host Megyn Kelly and Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund portrayed the ruling as an insult to the military and an "obstacle" to their access to the polls.
FUND: So what Ohio said is for the last three days before the election we will let military voters vote, but everyone else will have to vote before the three day period. The district judge said, "That's unfair," and said, "You'll have to extend early voting right up until Election Day." It now goes to a federal appeals court. And I think it's pretty clear that the military vote can have a separate designation and can be treated separately because they are different from every average voter.
KELLY: Yeah, they are special. And this was an interesting case we talked about it prior to the ruling because it pitted the Obama administration against military families and voters.
FUND: The National Guard [Association], the Marine Corps Association, all of them said, "This is outrageous what you are trying to do."
KELLY: They said, "There is a justification for treating us differently. And it's not -- you don't get to say that everybody is the same as the military."
FUND: We have enough obstacles in the way of our military now we don't need to create others.
Fund -- who also lambasted early voting in general as "out of control" -- is the latest right-wing figure to invoke the canard that allowing civilians equal access to the polls somehow constitutes an "obstacle" for members of the military who wish to vote.
Among right-wing news outlets, Fox News has taken the lead in characterizing calls for the restoration of early voting days for civilian voters, which were cut by the Ohio Republican-controlled state legislature in 2011, as anti-military.
During the August 3 edition of Special Report, guest host Shannon Bream falsely stated that "President Obama is challenging a law that gives members of the military special voting privileges," ignoring the fact that restoration of early voting days for civilians does not modify how members of the military may vote. Sean Hannity similarly lied during the August 6 edition of Hannity when he claimed that the lawsuit to restore early voting sought to "limit the number of days armed service members can vote."
These characterizations of what the lawsuit sought to achieve are demonstrably false. And to the contrary the district court held that the current voting system -- which restricted civilian voting days -- violated "a constitutionally protected right to participate in elections on an equal basis with other citizens in the jurisdiction."

What the GDPR Could Mean for the Future of Programmatic Advertising
The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has now been in effect for over six months and represents the most important change to data privacy law for over two decades. It's designed to fundamentally reshape the manner in which data held by companies is handled across all industries, from retail to banking and, of course, programmatic advertising.
Punishment for breaches are swift as well, with no company being too big to feel the force of the regulations – even Google. The tech giant was recently fined £44 million for failing to meet the new standards set out by the GDPR.
"[French data regulator] CNIL said it had levied the record fine for lack of transparency, inadequate information and lack of valid consent regarding ads personalisation," reports the BBC. "The regulator said it judged that people were not sufficiently informed about how Google collected data to personalise advertising."
For those who aren't up to speed on the regulations themselves, they now grant the subjects of data which held by companies and other agencies (such as government) unprecedented control over how that data is stored and used. Organisations are also required to be completely transparent over the ways they store and use said data.
With several high profile data breaches, such as Google and the Cambridge Analytica scandal, making headlines across the world the public have become more cognisant of the amount of data being held on them and the manner in which it can be wielded – allegedly even having the power to swing elections and referenda.
The GDPR now applies to any organisation holding data on EU citizens, whether it itself is based in the EU. UK readers should note this means the regulation will still apply to them if/after the Brexit process has been completed.
GDPR for Programmatic Advertising
In the weeks following the implementation of the GDPR, programmatic advertising saw a sharp drop in spending.
"Some clients cut programmatic buys by anywhere from 20 to 50% in the days after GDPR took effect May 25, several media buyers said on condition of anonymity," reports Seb Joseph for Digiday. "A month in, spending has somewhat recovered to pre-GDPR enforcement levels. Now, brands are spending around 30% less on ads from exchanges than what they were prior to May 25, said a media buyer at an independent agency. An executive at one of the holding groups put that figure at closer to 20%."
This is because, in the pre-GDPR landscape, programmatic advertising relied on vast quantities of third-party data with which to seduce media buyers. However, in the post-GDPR world, this is no longer possible.
Media buyers are now moving the majority of their programmatic spend away from audience targeting in favour of contextual targeting strategies or direct deals with publishers. This would explain the 20-30% drop in spend but could arguably mean that the remaining 80% is being more effectively targeted when compared to the more scattergun approach of old.
A Word on Consent
One of the biggest changes to data regulations brought by the GDPR is the manner in which consent is obtained by organisations.
"The conditions for consent have been strengthened, and companies are no longer able to use long illegible terms and conditions full of legalese," says the official GDPR website. "The request for consent must be given in an intelligible and easily accessible form, with the purpose for data processing attached to that consent. Consent must be clear and distinguishable from other matters and provided in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language. It must be as easy to withdraw consent as it is to give it."
This is a big deal for programmatic advertisers as gaining and retaining consent forms the bread and butter of the product being sold by the industry.
Programmatic sellers must therefore effectively communicate to data subjects how their data will be stored and used and make sure they understand how giving consent can benefit them – through more relevant advertising being displayed for example. People will be subjected to advertising whether they consent or not, but giving consent enables that advertising to be targeted, which may be one way to convince them.
The GDPR is means programmatic advertisers must seriously reconsider their strategies. The focus needs to move from data volumes to effectively communicating the value of data to its subjects. Companies which are clear, unambiguous, and open regarding their policies will have the greatest chance of obtaining and retain consent in the post-GDPR world and will therefore have a larger portfolio of data with which to offer buyers.
"GDPR reshapes the way in which sectors manage data, as well as redefines the roles for key leaders in businesses, from CIOs to CMOs," says the GDPR website. "CIOs must ensure that they have watertight consent management processes in place, whilst CMOs require effective data rights management systems to ensure they don't lose their most valuable asset – data."
The ongoing impact of GDPR on the industry is set to be a hot topic at Programmatic Pioneers 2019, to be held in May, at the Twickenham Stadium, London. Please download the agenda today for more information and insights.


One of my favorite aspects about photography is human connection. Being able to come together with another person, or even multiple, and create something is very gratifying. Paris is a traveling model from southern Oregon who consistently shoots here in Portland. She reached out to me a couple months before writing this post wanting to shoot. I was in Chicago at the time, but made a point to contact her when I arrived back home. With our matched love for dark beauty and moody portraiture, I couldn't let this opportunity pass. We set a date for middle of November.
Fast forward two weeks, she contacted me on a Thursday night telling me she would be in town the next day. This was about a month or so earlier than we had scheduled. She asked if I would be down for a last minute shoot since she'd already be in town. I wasn't busy that day and everything kind of just fell into place. We linked up in the afternoon, grabbed a quick snack then headed to my apartment to look through some photo props. At home, I have a box of stuff for photo shoots. Anytime I'm looking to involve something extra for a shoot, I go to the box. I had never shot with body paint before and neither had Paris. We both decided it would be fun to try out. We grabbed some black body paint and headed to the forest.
I love using my friends and strangers as subjects, but working with experienced models is totally different. They've done this before. They know how to pose, they know when to switch poses and they know what works best for them. They have a confidence in front of the camera that is very admirable. It allows for more photos (and more keepers) to be taken away in the same amount of time or less. After a couple hours of shooting we called it a wrap.
Paris and I are scheduled to shoot again in a few weeks. You can expect to see more work with her and myself. Until then, please enjoy this set I've put together.
I have put other photos from this set on my website.
Living in the Portland, I get to meet all kinds of creatives. I had the pleasure of meeting Chris a couple of months ago when we were introduced by fellow photographer and common friend David.
I asked Chris to help me out with a project for the Might Killers Explore Tee an MK Basic Cap. Accompanied by my other friends Nick, Natalie and Leanna we road tripped it out to the Oregon Coast to catch sunset. As we arrived at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City, I could tell this was going to be another beautiful Oregon summer sunset.
It wasn't until we pulled onto the beach did I find out this was Chris' first trip to Cape Kiwanda. In awe from the beautiful scenery, Chris' expressions began to reignite my inspiration for this place. I've been to Cape Kiwanda more times than I can count on my fingers, but this time it was different. I got to help someone experience it for the first time. That in itself can be inspiring for me. Adventuring with people to places I've photographed before can help me find a more unique angle of a similar location. A new mind can bring all kinds of new ideas. It's an awesome feeling.
Let me share with you what we brought back from Cape Kiwanda.
I have a love-hate relationship with sunrises. I'm definitely not a morning person so getting up at 4 a.m. after closing my eyes at 1 a.m. is not my idea of a good morning. I work late into the night and I usually enjoy the limited sleep I do get. The trade off? A sunrise can produce some of the most insane lighting you'll ever see or get to work with. Our trip out to Larch Mountain was a perfect example of this.
We made plans to go on this adventure the night before. After we settled on a location, I messaged my friend Brandi immediately to see if she wanted to tag along. I love Brandi's look and always enjoy shooting her so I was excited to see what we could come up with. Nick and Chloe picked me up from my house around 4 a.m the following morning. After I packed my things into the car we headed over to SE Portland to pick up Brandi. After getting on the road, we had just enough time to catch the sunrise. We booked it out to Larch Mountain, which is about an hour away from my apartment in Portland. We pull into the parking lot and take a short hike up some stairs, staring into the rising sun, to reach Sherrard Point. From this point you have an absolutely breathtaking view of the Cascade volcanoes. This view had quickly put it at the top of my list for must see spots in the Gorge. If you've never experienced a sunrise, I highly suggest that you do sometime. After taking it all in and snapping a few photos we headed back to the city to grab some much needed coffee and breakfast from a local spot in my neighborhood.
Larch Mountain has got to be one of my favorite locations in the Northwest to date. I hope my visuals can do this place some sort of justice. I also hope you enjoy some of the portraits I got of my friends.
Hi, my name is Silas and I'm a photographer based in Portland, Oregon. This is my first story on the Mighty Killers blog so I wanted to try and make it a good one. Since it was Memorial Day weekend, I wanted to create a photo themed for that. Accompanied by my friends Nick, Chloe and Anna we set off on our adventure. This day, we had no plan and no set route to go, but I wanted the photo to have a moody feel so we decided to head into the forest.
We left around 12:30 P.M. figuring the overcast weather in Portland was an indication of some nice soft light. Unfortunately, as soon as we hit the base of the mountain, the clouds disappeared almost instantly. Here we were, right in the middle of a completely clear day with the sun beating right on top of us. We stopped at one location and hiked in, but the shots we got didn't have the moody feel I was going for. We decided to keep driving closer to the top of the mountain in hopes of finding better weather at higher elevation. As we arrive at the top we start to see the fog rolling in, giving us hope that we could still pull this off. We found a sign for Barlow Road and decided to give it a shot. We parked the car and started trekking into the forest to look for a good location. Ahead of us we see a patch of light on the ground and decide it would be perfect for this shot. We setup, pop the smoke and start firing. This time I had got the shot I was looking for, Success! We roam around, take a couple more shots with some of the other smoke we had, take a couple portraits and decide to head out to visit the top of the mountain. We get to the top and even though there wasn't much snow we still got to enjoy the view before heading back home for the evening. A special thanks to Nick for driving us and to Chloe and Anna for being models for the day. Nothing better than a good day of shooting in great company.

Canada stands pat on Saudi arms sales, even after hearing Khashoggi tape
Khashoggi's death at Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul further strained Riyadh's already difficult relationship with Ottawa
The Canadian government is showing no signs of toughening its stance on arms sales to Saudi Arabia, even after Canada's spy chief heard a recording of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
When asked Tuesday how Canada intends to proceed from here, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland reiterated Ottawa's position that no new weapons-export permits will be signed for Saudi Arabia for now.
"We are reviewing our arms sales to Saudi Arabia in view of this killing and, obviously, during this period of review no new arms export permits will be signed," Freeland said in Windsor, Ont.
That's no different from what Canada's been saying for weeks.

CSIS director David Vigneault recently travelled to Turkey to listen to the recording Turkish authorities have of Khashoggi's killing and briefed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as well as other top officials upon his return.
"Canada is very clear that those who are responsible for this atrocious murder must bear full responsibility for that," Freeland said when asked how hearing the recording affects the government's position.
Khashoggi's death last month at Saudi Arabia's consulate in Istanbul has further strained Riyadh's already difficult relationship with Canada.
His killing — which brought international condemnation of Riyadh — also renewed public outrage in Canada over Ottawa's controversial $15-billion deal to sell light armoured vehicles to the kingdom. Ottawa has come under pressure to cancel the armoured-vehicles contract, but Trudeau has said the penalty for doing so would be "in the billions of dollars."
Freeland said she spoke with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Monday to press for a credible, transparent investigation into the Khashoggi case.
Under intensifying pressure, Riyadh has changed its story about Khashoggi's death, first saying he walked out of the consulate the day he disappeared but eventually acknowledging he was killed inside the building. Saudi Arabia has also recently acknowledged Turkish evidence that showed the slaying was premeditated.
"The explanations which have been offered thus far by Saudi Arabia lack credibility and consistency," Freeland said Tuesday after meeting with union members in Windsor.
"The killing of Jamal Khashoggi is a truly horrific crime. We are obviously worried about the killing of any human being, but it is particularly worrying to us because this is yet another example of the ability of journalists to do their job being curtailed."
Trudeau has also condemned the killing, but when asked about the recording earlier this week he offered no clues about how it might have affected his thoughts on the matter.

Sometimes, on a winter's day, with the patio covered in snow. . . you just may want a July-flavored burger that tastes like it came from the grill. I found a recipe for indoor burgers that uses liquid smoke to provide the grill taste; it also calls for MSG to buttress that taste. My junk-food deflector shield was at full mast, but, I must admit, I was intrigued enough to give the thing a try. And I gotta further admit: from the moment a grill-like smell pervaded my kitchen, I liked it. I really liked it. . .
1. Place a ridged grill pan over the highest heat on your range, and let it smolder for a few minutes.
2. While it's smoldering, mix together 1 1/4 lbs. of ground beef, 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon MSG. Shape into four classic burger patties.
3. Brush ridged grill pan with a little oil, or beef fat. Place burgers right on the smoking pan. Cook until rare to medium-rare. Serve with any condiments you wish.

Jerry Brown's First 100 Days
By Larry Gerston, Ph.D.
Published Apr 14, 2011 at 10:15 AM | Updated at 7:10 AM PDT on Apr 18, 2011
Tuesday represented a milestone for Democratic Governor Jerry Brown: his first 100 days of office. This time around anyway.
Most elected officials get a "pass" on the first 100 days because the public gives them time to come to terms with their office. Even though this is Brown's second go-around in the state's top office, once again the public has been gracious.
His popularity is pretty high, given the state's state's economic malaise. So what's the grade for Brown after his first 100 days?
Let's consider his accomplishments and failures.
On the plus side, Brown has lobbied for and signed cutting edge legislation that will require California to rely on green energy for one-third of its supply by 2020. As a result, California continues to be a leader in the anti-global warming war. This continues Brown's leadership that he exercised on green energy during his first stint as governor, 1975-1983, when many doubted the merits of the issue.
Brown also has dedicated much of his political capital to an honest repair of the state's $26 billion budget gap. Offending many liberals along the way, he exhorted the legislature to make $11 billion in painful cuts on education and social programs.
That takes us to the minus side.
Brown has said the budget must be balanced with new revenues as well as cuts. To that end, he has asked legislative support for an election to continue three previously legislated temporary tax increases for five years. On this score, Brown has failed to persuade Republicans to place the temporary tax continuation issue on the ballot. They argue that the remaining $15 billion can be found in the already pared down $75 billion state budget. Most experts disagree with the Republicans, but they have held strong.
So, how do we grade Brown?
"A" for effort
"C" for results
"B" overall
Of course, it's early in Brown's term, and whether "B" will be good enough to keep California afloat will depend on a lot more than Brown's efforts in the months to come. At the end of the day, the legislature will be graded as well.
If nothing else, we'll see that evaluation in the form of the 2012 election results.

Letter: Thanks, President Trump
As an Air Force veteran and Republican, I support President Trump's vision for America. America First means the U.S. will be subject to its own laws and not those of some international court. America demands respect for its citizens. Thanks to President Trump for his efforts to successfully free the three American hostages from North Korea and most recently Pastor Andrew Brunson from Turkey.
Let the world know that America supports Israel, and thanks to President Trump for moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem. America demands respect for its borders. Immigration must be legal. Caravans of thousands crashing the southern border must be stopped.
Capitalism and ownership of private property contribute to making America unique. Socialism has a long record of failure. Venezuela is the most recent example where inflation has increased 42,000 percent. It was once the richest country in Latin America. President Ronald Reagan once said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." American greatness is not guaranteed.
Let us stand for truth, law and order, and innocence until proven guilty. Accusations of serious crimes must be taken seriously, but false accusers for political purposes must be identified. Thanks to President Trump for standing behind Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
On Nov. 6, vote Republican. In addition, please vote "no" on all three non-partisan state proposals.
Calvin J. Dykstra, M.D.


On the table of four there are layer who are sitting and settling on the table and they consistently making the fundamental mistakes all because of the reason that they lack knowledge, misinformation of falling to maintain the necessary focus that is very important in the game and for the beginners to avoid any such conflicts there are things that are discussed here. Even if a player has a small strategical adjustment in the game of poker can potentially save a great amount for a long run.
At https://337poker.com/ a player can pull different betting patterns along with learning more about the game of poker as the site offers multi-table features at its best.
For a little poker tip, it is important to consider the check-raising and correctly applying it to turn it into a super powerful weapon in the arsenal which can bring profits out of the results in the game of poker. But also to think beyond the flop is necessary there are plenty of opportunities for a check-raise that a player might just be missing at the right moment.
Another important strategy is to develop a good three betting strategy.
By the three betting strategy, there is an aggressive betting strategy to be employed by the players especially in the case of online poker circles which can cause failure in applying the optimal three betting strategies has certainly caused a lot of spewy pokers. There are chances when there is a need to attack the opponents who are in the list of suspected players of opening a wide hand in the modern poker online world. These techniques can be used at https://337poker.com/ and they can bring some great benefits along.
It is to calculate the stack size using 'M'. A player has to be aware of the owner and also the stack size of the opponents so a player doesn't get caught with the awkward situations. One awkward situation that can often come in the game is when a player holds 'em overpair to the board and opponents put the heat of the moment on the player.
There is nothing to be afraid to make the big laydowns to preserve the stack, especially in the beginning levels. It is to be aware of the c-betting frequency. There is no need to waste the poker chips in any tournament with c-betting every time, especially when there is a pot is multi-way. It is for the player to spot profitable plays and remember when it comes to the last table regularly with profitable playing ranges might be able to alter due to the payouts.

There comes a new presidential election in USA and there is a tough "battle" between the current president Barak Obama and his opponent Mitt Romney. I am not really following it closely because I am not an American citizen but I have seen on Facebook few photos showing complete disappointment with the current president. And it is very interesting to see it because I remember when 4 years ago my American friends had tears in their eyes when Obama became the president in USA. The reason for the tears was that he was the first black person being elected as an president and secondly Obama seemed to be a little bit different then other presidents and people have hoped that he will be able to change their country for better.
Well... the 4 year period is almost over and we can see that the hope of people has turned into huge disappointment - and I can see it on Facebook.
But myself I am not really disappointed with the whole situation. And you should not be either. One person will not be able to change the whole world. We are all part of it and thus we are all responsible for what is happening here. If we want to have better world everybody must participate in the change. Apart form this it is not possible to make all the changes within the period of 4 years. This whole disappointment is only the sign that people don't really understand how this world functions and still expect that somebody will come and make the change for them while they will keep watching TV at home.
Thus I suggest that you stop judging Barak Obama or any other politician. It would be much more beneficial if you start being active yourself and start doing something to change the world. If you know what needs to be done in the world better our current politicians then participate in the next political election and this way you will be able to implement in real life all that should be done according to you.
All that is happening now in USA with the disappointment with Obama is happening all the time all over the world. It has happened in other countries before. In the beginning people place a lot of hope in one person or political party and after 3-4 years period comes big disappointment.

Are you too good-looking to get ill? Attractive people less likely to suffer from diabetes, asthma and high blood pressure
Hannah GaleTuesday 1 Jul 2014 11:33 am
Attractive people are less likely to get ill (Picture: Getty Images)
New research has revealed that attractive people have less chance of suffering from a range of health problems.
The US study, which had 15,000 participants, also found that good-looking people were generally happier, took less time off work and developed less physical and mental illnesses over their lifetime.
We bet you're wondering how they judged who was hot, and who was, well, not? Well, researchers ranked each participant over a 90-minute period, putting them in one of five categories: very attractive, attractive, average, unattractive, very unattractive.
The study was done on both men and women between the ages of 24 and 35, and their health has been closely followed by the University of Cincinnati since they were 10.
Attractive people were on average 19% less likely to suffer from asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure and depression, as well as ADHD, stuttering and tinnitus, although percentages varied between medical conditions.
