It's not everyday that Indian boxing finds itself bracketed with a powerhouse like Kazakhstan but that's exactly what has happened at the ongoing Asian Games.
What is not particularly pleasing is the stat which binds the two countries in Jakarta. Both India and Kazakhstan have just two semi-finalists in the men's draw and no challenge left in the women's competition at the end of the quarter-final stage.
"Obviously we wanted more, two medals is less than what we had targetted. But I would like to believe it is just one blip. We have equalled the last time's performance in terms of number of medals and hopefully a better colour would be coming along to make the overall show better," Indian boxing's High Performance Director Santiago Nieva told PTI from Jakarta.
Kazakhstan topped the boxing medals tally at the 2014 Games with six gold, two silver and two bronze medals, making the ongoing edition nothing short of a disaster for them.
It's a dip that India can probably relate to given that the country went from two gold, three silver and four bronze in Guangzhou 2010 to a mere two bronze at Incheon 2014.
India has managed to match the 2014 haul with two semi-finalists. And it might get better if the seasoned Vikas Krishan (75kg) and in-form debutant Amit Panghal (49kg) make the finals on Friday.
Despite the slight disappointment, Nieva ruled out any drastic repercussions for how things have gone in Jakarta.
"We must always look for things to improve and we will sit down and analyse the performance but I don't believe there will be too many radical changes as of now," he said.
"Have a look at how the Kazakhs have done, just two semifinalists, which I am sure is not what they might have hoped for. Likewise, Korea have got just one semifinalist, in the women's draw, none of their male boxers are in the semis," he pointed out.
"It is sport, these things happen to everybody. On the other hand, Thailand and Uzbekistan are having a great tournament," he added.
Thailand has four men and two women in the semifinals, while the Uzbeks have all seven of their male boxers in the medal rounds.
It is a massive recovery for the Uzbeks from two silver and two bronze in the last edition. Ditto for the Thais, who had one gold and a bronze to show for in 2014.
In contrast, South Korea, which was placed second the last time around with two gold, three silver and a bronze, has just one competitor left in Jakarta -- in women's lightweight 60kg category.
"Boxing is not maths, it is more like chemistry where a combination of factors go into making a medal. Sometimes it is a matter of just one punch like it happened in case of Gaurav (Solanki) and Shiva (Thapa). They were struck by that one perfect blow which changed everything in a matter of seconds," he explained.
"The Chinese guy Shiva lost to, ousted a Kazakh in the next round. Similar was the case of Gaurav, he was shaken by a big one in his second round bout and couldn't recover. (Mohammed) Husammuddin, on the other hand, fought exceptionally well but didn't have the luck, same for Dheeraj (Rangi)," he added.
"When you lose to someone, you always feel better if the guy goes on to win the gold, because then you have lost to the eventual champion, in a way, that's a solace," he reasoned.
Speaking of India's two semifinalists, Nieva said, "Amit has of course been outstanding so far and Vikas can still take it a notch higher. He is capable of more."
While Commonwealth Games silver-medallist Amit seems to be in the form of his life, Vikas has been hampered by a cut on his left eyelid, sustained in his opening bout.
The 26-year-old Vikas has, however, managed to script history by assuring himself a third successive Asiad medal, the first Indian boxer to do that.
Reflecting on the women boxers' performance, Nieva said a medal-less campaign always counts for disappointment.
The Argentine-born Swede was seen seconding during women's bouts too along with their chief coach Raffaele Bergamasco.
"...it is definitely disappointing to not win a medal but I am sure they will bounce back in the world championships in two months' time. Bad results should be taken in stride and we should look to rebuild things after that," he stressed.

Is CannTrust Holdings Inc (TSX:TRST) a Buy After Dropping 20% Last Week?
CannTrust Holdings Inc (TSX:TRST)(NYSE:CTST) stock struggled after releasing its earnings, but I expect the stock to mount a bit of a recovery this week.

How Much Higher Can Lightspeed (TSX:LSPD) Stock Go? - February 24, 2021
Published April 1, 2019 9:20 am EDT
CannTrust Holdings (TSX:TRST)(NYSE:CTST) released its earnings last week and investors were not impressed, as the stock went over a cliff shortly afterwards. Despite its sales rising more than 132% during the quarter, the company's bottom left a lot more to be desired, as CannTrust still ended up recording a very heavy loss totalling more than $25.5 million.
Ultimately, this is really par for the course in an industry where rising sales have often been met with mounting losses. And so for the stock to drop so drastically on these results might be a bit surprising. The company still has significant growth prospects, as it is working towards adding capacity and even looking at growing outdoors to help increase its output even further.
In an industry where supply is limited, capacity is the name of the game, and CannTrust is positioning itself to capture a lot of the market with more space for production. As impressive as its sales growth has been this past quarter, it's only scratching the surface of what its potential could be in just a few years' time when it will be able to produce even more cannabis.
CannTrust a cheap buy compared to key rivals
The recent drop in price could be a welcome opportunity for investors to buy up the stock at a more modest price. I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a recovery this week, as investors take a second look at the stock and consider the potential upside it has. Trading at a price-to-sales ratio of less than 25, CannTrust might actually seem like a bit of a bargain compared to its peers in the industry.
To put its value into perspective, consider that Canopy Growth trades at around 130 times its sales. Rival Aurora Cannabis, meanwhile, also trades at a multiple of over 100. Since profits are hard to come by in the industry and are often inflated by non-operating results, using a multiple of sales seems to be the best way to compare valuations today.
However, the argument could be made that both Canopy Growth and Aurora are much more established and more notable brands in the industry with even greater growth prospects, hence the bigger multiples. The problem is that at multiples of more than 100 times sales, that's a significant premium for any investor to pay, regardless of how bullish they may be on a company or industry. I'd argue that CannTrust is still a very expensive stock at its multiple, but relative to its peers, that doesn't appear to be the case, and that's why I'd expect to see some sort of a rally this week.
CannTrust is not one of the big players in the cannabis industry today, but that could change with what it has planned for the future. For that reason, I'd keep a close eye on the stock, as the potential is certainly there for it to grow into a much bigger brand. There's definitely some risk in investing in CannTrust as it has been very volatile over the past year, but that being said, it's still been able to generate returns of over 30% during that time.

Rob Zombie Confirms There's No Unrated Director's Cut of House of 1000 Corpses in Existence
September 13, 2019 by SimpleNews
Musician Rob Zombie's debut movie House of 1000 Corpses suffered a number of delays with its launch as a result of movie's graphic nature, however the filmmaker not too long ago confirmed that recovering the reduce footage can be too tough and {that a} director's reduce of the movie would not exist. That's to not say the filmmaker would not have an interest in recovering the footage, however from a sensible stage, he would not know the place the reduce footage bodily exists, which might make it tough to get well. Zombie did word that he as soon as recovered unseen footage of the solid giving interviews, however nothing was substantial sufficient to warrant a brand new residence video launch, although it might be revealed in some unspecified time in the future.
"There's nothing," Zombie shared with Bloody Disgusting of the misplaced footage. "I mean, I don't know where anything is. I gotta be honest. Nothing's ever been discovered."
Zombie filmed the film in 2000 however, when initially screened it, was advised it might earn an NC-17 ranking in its unique kind, stopping it from incomes a serious launch. The filmmaker in the end bought the rights to the movie himself and shopped round for distributors, with Lions Gate Entertainment in the end providing to launch it. The movie nonetheless needed to endure cuts to earn an R ranking, ultimately touchdown in theaters in 2003.
Part of the explanation the footage is misplaced is as a result of undertaking shifting arms so typically.
"Because we bounced around so much and stuff. It's amazing that they lose these things. But they do," Zombie identified. "So all that stuff's lost."
Despite the cuts it earned, House of 1000 Corpses impressed the 2005 sequel The Devil's Rejects, which earned each a theatrical reduce and an unrated director's reduce. Hitting theaters subsequent week for a three-night occasion is the third movie, 3 From Hell, which has earned an R ranking, however may get an unrated director's reduce in the long run.
When all three movies are lastly out there on residence video, it is potential a trilogy set might be launched with added particular options, such because the interviews from the set of House of 1000 Corpses he found.
"The only thing I discovered, which is not footage, is one time I found a bunch of VHS tapes that had interviews with the cast on set while we were shooting," Zombie shared. "They could be a special feature, maybe, but yeah… no."

3 From Hell lands in theaters subsequent week. Stay tuned for particulars on Zombie's varied upcoming tasks.

By Dion Chang on 17 December 2020
The pandemic wiped our unfinished business off the radar. Those issues will return in 2021, having picked up momentum during the great staggering, while no one was watching. (The great staggering is a term coined by Flux Trends that describes the period between pandemic induced lockdown and the much-anticipated new normal.)
2019: The politics of rage and polarisation
After a year in lockdown most people yearn to return to normal. But if the benchmark of "normal" was 2019, then it was not a state of being to yearn for.
If our planet was a pressure cooker, the lid was poised to blow.
A quarter of the world's countries (47 countries) experienced surges in civil unrest, mostly violent. The triggers were seemingly minor and there were two distinct triggers.
Firstly, the weakening of mechanisms for expressing discontent, for example, restrictions by governments on labour unions or attacks on freedom of the press.
Secondly, cuts to fuel, food or travel subsidies. A mere 4% rise in subway fares in Chile roused a million people to protest, forcing the government to declare a state of emergency, while in Lebanon 20 cents' tax for using WhatsApp brought hundreds of thousands of protesters onto the streets. The pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong sparked in September, while Greta Thunberg's solo school strike inspired more than four-million people in 150 countries to take part in the Climate Strike (aka the Global Day of Action).
Adding fuel to the protest fires was the rise of populist politics, with fake news increasing polarisation within many countries. Externally, geopolitical storms were brewing, with mutterings of deglobalisation and the decoupling of the USA/China tech sector, giving rise to the term "tech nationalism", where the prospect of sharing information for greater good was put at risk.
On the pop culture front, identity politics and "cancel culture" made for treacherous social interactions, while issues of sustainability moved fully into the consumer mindset spawning a new psychological condition – "eco anxiety".
The well-worn business school acronym VUCA (which stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) was the perfect description of the zeitgeist.
2020: The great pause
When the year started, the planet was angry – in hindsight, understandably so.
We entered 2020 with raging bushfires in Australia and America. It seemed that Mother Nature was presenting us with proof of climate change. New Delhi residents were literally choking from pollution: so much so that a bar in the city started serving oxygen shots. And just to ensure we were listening, a plague of locusts descended in East Africa, decimating crops.
And then a pandemic was unleashed.
VUCA switched to BANI (brittleness, anxiety, nonlinearity and incomprehensibility.)
In lockdown, once we had all adapted to self-confinement and mastered video conferencing (but strangely, never learning to unmute ourselves) humanity experienced an existential crisis of sorts, spurred on by anticipatory grief. With life in limbo came the realisation that one's work, and one's place of work, are not mutually exclusive. This "a-ha" moment triggered a far-reaching ripple effect and a reassessment of life's priorities, changing how we want to live, work and play post-pandemic.
Psychologists say it takes 21 days to form a habit, so 10 months of new learned behaviours should ensure that radical transformations are embedded.
In business, 2019 issues of deglobalisation and sustainability were put in sharp focus. Global supply chains, reliant solely on China, were quickly reassessed. The madness of the fast fashion industry was exposed but so too were the fragilities of small business owners. The Financial Times captured a retailer's dilemma perfectly, writing that" "many companies have little choice but to begin some revamping of their business models: the pandemic has made sure that either their customers are no longer where they were or have no need of what they are selling".
Societal inequalities were laid bare and that anger and frustration manifested itself with global Black Lives Matter protests after the killing of George Floyd. The 2019 fires of rage and polarisation were stoked and escalated. Pop culture and politics became intertwined, while time became elastic.
2020 felt like a decade and with nothing but our digital screens to stare at, we won't remember much in years to come. Future history lessons might refer to 2020 as "the year we don't talk about".
2021: Rethinking, reframing, recalibration
"Empathy" was the one word that consistently cropped up in 2020. Humanising businesses will now become fundamental to every business model.
Ideological debates around looking beyond the bottom line and shareholder primacy that were hovering before 2020 will be escalated in 2021, and companies that ignore this shift do so at their peril.
B Corporation listings (for companies that meet high standards of social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) ratings are fast becoming the gold standard on what companies are judged upon. With activist consumers as customers, brand reputation is no longer a commodity anyone can afford to gamble with.
A new contactless economy has emerged and for businesses lagging behind in digital transformation, they now have to fast-forward their strategies by five years: the time span that the adoption of new systems has been accelerated in 2020.
While accelerated digitalisation is crucial, so too is a change in ethos and values. That may translate into embracing localised supply chains and supporting small, medium and micro enterprises as much as it is investing in holistic wellness for employees – such as understanding that familial needs and responsibilities impact personal productivity.
Sustainability takes centre stage and seeps into every business sector as it becomes less of a consumer responsibility and more the responsibility of big business. "Sustainability loans" are entering the lexicon of hedge funds and private equity while the concept of circular economies (which aim to gradually decouple growth from the consumption of finite resources) is becoming mainstream.
New concepts (and curve balls) such as a "work from home tax" for businesses, and in politics looming issues of "vaccine diplomacy" will further complicate navigating an already disrupted world.
On the home front, parents who thought online grooming was a problem will now have to contend with the fact that teenagers are now being groomed by far-right extremists via video games, not for sexual abuse, but for their political souls.
Welcome to the new normal. Best we get used to the taste of the curate's egg.

More info on YouTube fame
YouTube fame: Map
Youtube fame refers to recognition received through uploaded videos that become viral videos on the video sharing website YouTube. Some videos become famous and rack up hundreds of thousands of views. Many videos of docile things such as the singing of a popular song or a comedy routines achieve YouTube fame, but the desire for such fame has led to dangerous undertakings and incidents such as the making of fight videos.
The desire for even non-profit YouTube fame has led to several incidents such as the pulling of dangerous stunts.One incident involved a teen from Ontario high school who was set on fire after being doused with Axe Body Spray by a fourteen-year-old accomplice. He suffered from third degree burns. The accomplice was charged with assault causing bodily harm.
New York Fight Club
A violent street gang, the "Union Square Spartans", that began holding public fights in New York City earned YouTube fame for videos uploaded depicting street fights. Their publicity has led to the fights becoming an organized event to which crowds of hundreds sometimes attend. Many of the fighters are homeless and use anonymous names.
In Indianapolis , two teens from Kokomo, Indiana , wielding a camera, went around the campus of Indiana University trying to pick fights in an attempt to post an attack video on YouTube. For five days the teens visited the campus, doing such things as yelling out their vehicle windows trying to harass people into fighting. At 2 am they got into a fight with Drew Langhals after he responded to their taunts by yelling back. One of the teens pushed him into a bush and the other began punching and kicking him. Police caught the teens, who were charged with battery and illegal consumption.
Unwanted fame
A South Korean student, Lim Jeong-hyun, was uncomfortable with the fame he received after being discovered as the "star" of multiple videos depicting him playing guitar, which were uploaded by someone other than himself. The most popular video, one of him covering Johann Pachelbel's Canon, was the second most viewed video on Youtube.

As SORBA Orlando continues to evolve its role in the cycling culture of the greater Orlando area, the role of individuals within must evolve as well.
Several years ago, Mitchell Greenberg had the vision of developing a trail system within the primary boundary of Wekiwa Springs State Park. He was directed to a satellite parcel of land that we lovingly know as Markham Woods. Many miles of trails were coaxed into existence through the efforts of volunteers, and Mitch's direction. His zeal for tight, twisty singletrack is all but immortalized in the popular Mitch'd Up trail.
Recently, Mitch has pivoted into a role SORBA Orlando has an increasing need for - focus on representing and supporting the interests of the cycling community, through SORBA Orlando, at state and local levels. Please join SORBA Orlando in thanking Mitch for his vision and service at Markham Woods as he engages in his new role.
At the request of SORBA Orlando, and in agreement with the land manager, Jason Lampitt has assumed the role of Trail Boss for Markham Woods. In this role, his primary objective is to organize a sustainable volunteer program, responsible for the care and maintenance of the trail system. Additionally, Jason will also facilitate long-term planning, execution of major projects, and continue to cultivate SORBA Orlando's relationship with the land manager. These four elements are essential in solidifying Markham Woods as a regional destination, and economic draw for the surrounding community.
These changes are a positive indicator that SORBA Orlando is looking forward and preparing for growth. Look for more details on all of these topics in the weeks ahead!

SYMBOLIC CREATIONS: ST JOSEPH'S PASTA
SYMBOLIC CREATIONS: ST JOSEPH'S PASTA
The commemoration of Saints is common practice amongst Christian communities throughout the world. With such commemorations come beautiful and symbolic rituals, practices and traditions that are observed by communities annually in the form of church services, prayers, parades, and the preparation of feasts; all performed to honour the life of, and pay homage to, the celebrated Saint. These beautiful traditions are very prevalent in Italy, one of the most celebrated such saint days being St Joseph, or San Giuseppe in Italian, which falls on the 19th of March in the Roman Catholic calendar. This day is also Father's Day in Italy, stemming from the commemoration of St Joseph as Jesus' earthly father. St Joseph, who worked as a carpenter, is the patron saint of workers. He is also a fatherly symbol of love, compassion, generosity and acceptance.
Caterina has always been a stickler for tradition; it is with admiration that I have watched her uphold and celebrate many of the Catholic and Italian traditions that she grew up with. St Joseph's day has always been a special day of celebration for Caterina's family, since marrying her husband Giuseppe. Every year on St Joseph's day, Caterina lovingly prepares sweet zeppola (deep fried sugar dusted donuts) for the family, which are traditionally made all over Italy in honour of San Giuseppe. This year, she wanted to expand on the tradition by making a celebratory dinner. As St Joseph's day falls during Lent, the meals prepared are meat free. A traditional Sicilian dish, commonly referred to as "St Joseph's Pasta" is one such dish, and features Sardines and breadcrumbs. The breadcrumbs, symbolic of sawdust (as St Joseph was a carpenter), are very much the feature of this dish. They are used in place of cheese and add a beautiful crunchy texture with every mouthful. Caterina's version of this traditional pasta dish uses swordfish instead of sardines, which works beautifully with the sweetness of the sultanas and fennel.
As I watched Caterina prepare this meal for her family, and listened to her stories about the Italian traditions that she had grown up with, I found myself feeling nostalgic about the whole concept of traditions. The tradition of a saint day begins in the church, and filters through to a community and village. It then filters through to individual families, who come together as a unit to celebrate the day in their own way. Saint days are not only an opportunity to honour a saint, they serve as a reminder of the importance of creating and preserving family traditions, that when upheld, trickle and filter through from one generation to the next. I felt truly honoured to be part of the process of documenting and photographing this recipe, because I understood the symbolic importance it held, and will continue to hold, for Caterina and her family every year.
A big hug goes out to all the Giuseppe's, Joseph's, Joe's, Joey's, Giuseppina's, Josie's, Yossef's, Yusuf's, José's, Pepe's and Peppino's (and all the spellings in between!). And an extra special hug to Zio Antonio, who celebrates his birthday on this day.

1 & 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 teaspoon of lemon rind
sea salt & pepper to taste

Serve immediately with remaining breadcrumbs and chilli.
NOTE: This pasta is never served with grated cheese. Serve only with special St.Joseph's Day bread crumbs.

CURING OLIVES: BLACK JEWELS IN LIQUID GOLD
CAN WE HAVE THE RECIPE? MAREA'S ALMOND BISCUITS


So here's the thing: I have a thing for pregnant women, that's the thing.
I remember my own pregnancy as the grossest and most fascinating experience a woman can have. I felt like it dragged on for all eternity whilst passed me by at the speed of light. I remember feeling infinitely vulnerable but like the strongest woman alive at the same time.
I also remember the fanny hick-ups (yes, that's a thing), back pains & sleepless nights. The worry and the anticipation all mixed up in one messy hot pot of emotions.
I am still to meet a woman who has been illuminated by a mysterious inner glow. Perhaps it's been confused with a heart burn which a rather common thing?
I am however utterly convinced of the importance of being seen. Like, really seen. And empowered through the raging hormones, swollen ankles and fanny hick-ups. Especially when one has not slept properly for days. That's the time to reveal this allusive glow. And it can be done. I'm utterly convinced we can do it together.
So that is what I'm offering. A confidence boosting, loud (I shout and swear elaborately when I get excited, which I will) once in a lifetime experience. A maternity photo shoot to beat all others. We can make this extraordinarily glowingly beautiful. Because all women deserve to look and feel outstanding at least once whilst going though the wonderful ordeal that is a pregnancy.
Also. I have dresses you can borrow. And an army of hair stylists and make-up artist to help with the outer glow thing, so the inner glow can tag along. You dig?

British Council, Onet.pl
British Council in Poland has prepared a quiz "UK is OK" to test how well the Poles know the UK's history, culture, food, sport, music and language. You can also enter the quiz and check your knowledge!
The quiz is part of celebrations of the British Council's 75th anniversary in Poland where it promotes British culture, engages in social projects, provides examinations services and teaches English. Warsaw was one of the first five cities in the world where, in 1938, the British Council created its office outside of the UK.
At first, the British Council's activities in Poland were focused on education: funding scholarships for Polish teachers of the English language and donating English books to Polish schools and Anglophile societies. After the war, the scope of activities was broadened to include the popularisation of the British culture. And since Poland became a member of the European Union in 2004, the British Council in Poland has also been more and more engaged in cultural and social programmes within a broader European perspective.
British Council's main objective, which is promoting English language, creates opportunities for millions of people around the world. Improved English skills can open doors to education, employment, mobility and international engagement. It can also help build connections between different cultures and countries.
"UK is OK" quiz can be accessed from ciekawe.onet.pl/ukjestok and consists of 15 questions. It starts on 16 September and ends on 15 October.

The Fusion Project NGJ is the creation of French keyboardist Stephane Deriau-Reine, along with the help of drummer extraordinaire Mel Gaynor and bassist Dominique Di Piazza.
The first album Code Name: Fusion Project, mixing jazz-rock fusion and progressive rock, with incredible technique and musicality.
From semi-improvised frantic musical rides to heavy funk grooves, these guys can obviously play anything, though never forgetting what a melody is.
The Fusion Project is just that, fusion, in the truest sense of the word and master drummer Mel Gaynor covers it all. Latin, funk, jazz and even a bit of techno are all in there.


Reverie Nail Lacquer Blood In The Water Swatches & GIVEAWAY!
One of the great things about indie polish is making friendships with others in the community. Over the past few months, I've had the pleasure of becoming good friends with Michelle of Reverie Nail Lacquer and that led to an awesome surprise in my mailbox recently!


Thank you for your response. I am forwarding your 2 emails to Laurel Bohart who has just taken on the position of substituting for Sandra Wood temporaritly. But, be assured I do not believe the voices of the community have been adequately considered. Thank you again.
I just sent a reply to Sandy Hoffman that answers most of your questions. Specifically relating to your questions about the co-op membership, these plans have been announced for a couple of months now, and I can assure you that the boards have both heard and discussed members' input.
Many people are very supportive of logging to support the local mills, while some people object. It's hard to have everything be perfect.
The thing is, we need to supply our local mills, and until we have had time to do the proper planning we can't just rush out and build new logging roads somewhere else to go logging.
This is going to be a very small selective harvest, with a low impact, and we are going to try and leave the area looking better than when we started.
I very much acknowledge that it's unfortunate for the neighbour in Squirrel Cove that there is going to be activity again in your neighbourhood so soon, and at the same time we are going to do our best to balance all of the values of the island as a whole.
There is more going on here than "just road maintenance, as the title suggests". I sent Mark Lombard a letter Jan. 31, & look forward to a response.

Ireland, the Emerald Isle, is a popular tourist destination. Most visitors come to kiss the Blarney Stone, take a gander at the Book of Kells, or drive the Ring of Kerry. And while these are interesting spots in their own right, they're often so crowded as to detract significantly from the experience. Ireland's hidden destinations are a welcome alternative.
Many tourists visit the Rock of Cashel, meaning it's often overrun with visitors. Visit the Hore Abbey in County Tipperary instead. These medieval ruins are often deserted, as there are no guided tours; the ruins are impressive enough to stand on their own. There's also no entrance fee.
Trim Castle, in County Meath, was the backdrop for several scenes in Mel Gibson's "Braveheart," but it's often passed up. Still, the ruins are well preserved, and there are well-run tours of the massive keep. Look for the graffiti in the walls, the signatures of visitors who graced these stone walls hundreds of years ago.
Ireland's islands are often overlooked in favor of attractions on the mainland. But with a bit more effort, you can access these otherworldly places. To visit Skellig Michael, a rocky and forbidding outcropping in County Kerry, you can take a boat from nearby Portmagee only from mid-April through mid-September; the water's too rough other times of the year. Once on the island, visit the stone huts dating to the 6th century.
The Aran Islands, in County Galway, are a 40-minute ferry ride from Rossaveel. These islands are much more welcoming in appearance compared to Skellig Michael and much more civilized: there's a thriving community here, and many people still speak Gaelic. Small villages will charm, and the ruins of Dun Aengus, on a precipitous cliff, will impress.
Glenariff Forest Park sits on the impossibly green Glens of Antrim. There are several walking trails in the park that crisscross the pristine forest and the glen. A favorite is the Waterfall Walkway, a boardwalk trail along a river flecked with waterfalls.
Caragh Lake on the Iveragh Peninsula is often passed up by the hoards driving the Ring of Kerry. Several hotels on the lake's edge provide welcome respite and hot tea. There are walking trails encircling the lake and more great dining spots in town.
Dunmore East in County Waterford is a charming fishing village that feels like traditional Ireland with its thatch-roofed homes and soaring cliffs. Just off the coast, a collection of World War I shipwrecks are a big draw for scuba divers and snorkelers. Hikers can explore the cliffs for dramatic views of the sea below.
The small town of Dingle, on the Dingle Peninsula, is often missed by travelers who hit the Ring of Kerry, but the Dingle Peninsula is a less-crowded alternative. You'll be rewarded with classic Irish scenery on your drive to Dingle: lush valleys, soaring mountains and herds of sheep. In Dingle, refresh with a pint of Guinness at a cozy pub before the drive back, and walk through the scenic harbor facing the North Atlantic.

> What is a Personal Assistant?
A Personal Assistant, or PA, is usually employed directly by you. This means you'll be in control of who you select to help you, and how they support you, without the need to go through a care provider.
What are the benefits of employing a PA directly?
taking out insurance as an employer.
Hestia can offer general information and advice on support at home. They can also help make the arrangements to employ a Personal Assistant and help you with some of the ongoing practicalities like managing payroll for you.
Ruils' Find-a-PA website can help you advertise your vacancy and find Personal Assistants suited to your specific needs.
What you pay will depend on your individual circumstances, how much support you need every week and the pay rate of your PA. It's important to remember you will also be responsible for other fees as an employer - including annual leave, sick pay and training.
If you are eligible for financial support from the Council, you can get a Direct Payment from the Council for their contribution. You will most likely have to pay something towards your care and support, and the easiest way of managing your overall budget is to pay your own contribution into your Direct Payment account.


Need help understanding customer relationship management (CRM) software? CRM software is an invaluable tool that helps small businesses acquire and retain customers. But if you're not familiar with the software — or CRM in general — it can also be one of the most difficult tools to use.
The first step to getting the hang of CRM software is understanding the jargon. To help you demystify CRM and get the most out of your investment, here are some of the most common buzzwords used in CRM software.
If you're looking for CRM software, check out our CRM software buyer's guide and picks for the best CRM system for small business.
A comprehensive view of the customer that includes all contact points, communication, marketing campaigns, opportunities, incidents, acquisition history and all other aspects of the customer relationship.
An individual or group record for each customer, company, organization and other contacts.
A history of phone calls, emails, meetings and other tasks taken on a lead, contact or account. May be logged automatically by the software or manually by sales reps.
Data that gives businesses deeper insights to help them make faster and more informed decisions. Customer analytics includes trends and behavioral data to help businesses acquire and retain profitable customers, while sales analytics is comprised of pipeline, win-loss, financial and other analysis of sales data. Analytics can also be used for segmentation, marketing campaigns, planning future products and much more.
An Application Program Interface (API) contains instructions, technical specifications and other information developers need to customize software or integrate it into their own solutions.
A Salesforce app marketplace of third-party services that users can add onto their software, such as MailChimp email marketing, DocuSign electronic signatures and QuickBooks accounting software.
A form of sales automation in the CRM workflow. Sales reps can set up auto-responders so that an action is taken during specific events, such as automatically sending emails to leads and prospects when entered in the CRM.
Part of analytics, BI consists of reports, pivot tables, dashboards and other tools that are given to executives, managers and analysts to help them make better business decisions.
Marketing efforts, such as email marketing, social media marketing, online ads, direct mail, print advertising, events, product launches and more.
General term for planning, launching, monitoring and analyzing campaigns.

An individual record storing a customer's name, phone number, email, mailing address and other information. A contact can also be a prospect, company, associates and other parties sales reps interact with.
A digital rolodex of contacts and a core function of CRM software.
Keeps contacts organized and current in CRM software, such as keeping customer information and activities up-to-date.
Specifies a contact's role in an account or opportunity, which helps sales reps by letting them know who to talk to and the best time to reach out. Contact roles include decision maker, buyer, influencer and other designations, as well as job titles, such as Owner, President and CEO.
Shorthand for Comma Separated Values, CSV is the standard file format for exporting and importing databases and spreadsheets. Most CRMs use CSV files to import contacts and other data.

Umbrella term for types of data, such as accounts, contacts, leads, prospects, opportunities, activities and tasks.
CRM software that is installed locally on a company's server (versus cloud).
Follows the prospect stage of the sales pipeline. A contact that has gone through customer valuation, qualified and offers an opportunity to close a sale. At this stage, most deal details are already known and have been discussed.
An overview that shows where prospects are in the sales process. The sales pipeline generally has four stages — lead, prospect, opportunity and customer. Each stage may be expanded into sub-stages, depending on a business's sales process.
Workflow automation feature that triggers an action when an event occurs. For instance, if a lead requests information for a certain product or service, the CRM will automatically redirect the inquiry to the sales rep that specializes in that area. Or if an opportunity doesn't respond to a proposal, then the CRM software will automatically send a follow up after 48 hours.
Refers to the automation of sales tasks, such as contact management, tracking customer interactions, order processing, order tracking, inventory control, information sharing, performance evaluation and other core functions of CRM software.

For instance, CRM software can automatically group contacts that have fewer than 20 employees to market products designed for small businesses, or send email marketing campaigns to customers in certain age groups or who have specific shopping habits.
Connects CRM software to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and other social networks. Provides sales reps with additional engagement channels via social media marketing.
Platform for cloud-based CRM software that is sold as a service, not as a traditional software that needs to be installed on local servers and devices.
Day-to-day activities, for instance, phone calls, emails and meetings. Tasks can be created as to-do lists and recorded for individual leads, prospects, opportunities and contacts, as well as tracked by sales managers to measure results and monitor performance.
The ability to connect other business solutions to CRM software to expand features and streamline business processes. For example, by integrating QuickBooks, users can automatically sync purchase orders, invoices and other financial data to simplify their accounting; users can also integrate email marketing software to utilize templates, sync contacts and add on additional campaign management features.
A CRM software's overall design, such as its layout and navigation system.
Specifies permissions for each user. For instance, the Admin role gives the user access to the entire software, while the Sales and Support roles are limited to features related to the functions of their jobs.
vCards — which carry the .vcf file format — is the standard for electronic business cards. Most CRM software can import vCards, making it easy to add contacts from Outlook, Office 365, Apple Mail, Gmail and other email clients.
General term referring to the automation of CRM tasks through trigger-based rules.

Pizza is one of my favorite foods. Yep, I'm a nutritionist and healthy lifestyle advocate that loves pizza. Because of my love for pizza I had to find a healthier way to enjoy my pizza, in moderation of course. 😉 This is not an every day meal, but it definitely cuts out the over sugary processed pizza crusts, sugary sauces, heavy and processed oils! There are a few wins in there!
My secret for my healthier pizza is given away in the name for this recipe... Brown Rice Tortillas. Brown Rice Tortillas are a staple in my life, but my greatest discovery was learning that they make a great pizza crust. The brown rice tortillas that I use are gluten free, no sugar, and delicious (when heated).
So it's easy. Preheat your oven, add your toppings, bake, and enjoy your "healthier" pizza! Quick tip on sauce and oils... I like using a no sugar added organic pizza sauce. Did you know that most tomato sauces have tons of sugar added in?! Crazy! No wonder we're addicted to sugar. Try something like thisONE (link is for a 6 pack). I also use Grapeseed Oil when making a oil based pizza vs. a tomato sauce pizza. For example, sometimes I just want a nice garlicy pizza (surprisingly I still have friends), so I'll do grapeseed oil and garlic and the rest of my toppings. The reason I use grapeseed oil over olive oil is because the grapeseed oil can take the heat! Say Cheese! I recommended using all organic cheeses, raw if that is an option. Goat cheese is a great option for a lighter topping that will still give you great flavor. A little cheese actually goes a long way. Looking to add protein? Use some already cooked organic chicken, cooked organic ground turkey, even some cooked organic turkey sausage! Lastly, my clients always hear me say, "when in doubt, just add greens!" Add a big pile of arugula on top of your pizza for a healthy upgrade! The world is your oyster with toppings really! Be creative and keep in mind: organic, a little cheese goes a long way, no sugar added sauces, grapeseed vs. olive oil if wanting an oiled based pizza, add some greens!!
Remember, pizza is still a treat, eat in moderation!
Bake at 350 for 10-12 Minutes. *Time varies depending on the amount of toppings, so watch closely for your pizza to be cooked just as you like it. Watch the Non Marinara and/or goat cheese pizzas even closer as there are less visual clues to when it's done.


The MSI GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X comes in a box almost identical to our previously viewed RTX 2060 Gaming Z card. Even the specs and features are almost exactly the same.
Here is everything that comes in the sleeve.
If you still happen to be rocking a display that does NOT have an HDMI or Displayport, you will need either an HDMI or Displayport adapter as this card does not come with one.
Here, we now see what we have been waiting for, a full image of the MSI GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X. As you can see its a dual fan cooler with the special Torx 3.0 fans mentioned previously. It also comes with a solid metal backplate with some stylized slots cut through it. it is also emblazoned with an MSI Dragon crest and logo which appear to be silkscreened onto the backplate.
Here you can see the rear I/O of the card and its bevy of connectors.
The MSI GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X has all the connectivity you would need for a modern gaming setup. Absent from the design is the DVI which we saw appear in 2070/2060 FE models and also the USB Type C Virtualink port. As mentioned previously this could be a cost cutting measure or simply allocating the cost of those components to items deemed more necessary. I don't really see a major issue with this as most displays at least have an HDMI, and Virtualink is still nonexistent in the consumer space.
The power for the MSI GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X is fed by a single 8 Pin PCIe power connector. Thankfully this one is directly attached to the PCB, unlike the cable lead version we saw on the FE model.
Here you can see the cooler solution, backplate and top-lit logo. The top MSI Twin Frozr 7 logo is backlit addressable RGB which allows it to shine through with a coordinated color effect with the surrounding fan LED cutouts.
Here we can see the dual LED connectors near the top RGB lit Twin Froze plate. These are quite tight to the cooler/card connection so take special care if you need to disassemble the GTX 1660 ti Gaming X model card. The bottom edge of the card you have a single fan header which is black. I do like that MSI took the time to color code all of the connectors to ensure you should not have any confusion when reassembling it.
Here I just wanted to show how identical the previous RTX 2060 Gaming Z and the GTX 1660 Ti Gaming X really are. As you can see they are almost Visually identical which allowed me to apply the same video as below for the Mystic light features. the shroud/cooler are as you can see functionally and aesthetically identical albeit internally I'm sure the RTX 2060 model may be a bit beefier to support the beefier GPU.
MSI does a great job on their Gaming X and Gaming Z based coolers as you can see in the above video. The coolers are capable of a full spectrum of addressable effects. Here we show you the RGB rainbow flow in action which is the default. You can see the color above the fans and also from reflection on the board by the PCIe slot. This would make for a cool looking vertically mounted card.
Here is the MSI Mystic Light software which allows you to fully customize the lighting effects on the card. the lighting is addressable but I'm not sure to what level. The ability to adjust each individual zone would be cool and I'm not sure if it will come up eventually but as of this point, it is only mode adjustments.
Enough of the outside now, let's tear her apart and take a look at the guts.

Quality of Service Timeout Guide for Mirroring
Caché, Deployment, Documentation, System Administration, Mirroring
Quality of Service Mirroring Timeout Configuration
The Quality of Service (QoS) timeout determines how long a Mirror configuration of Caché will tolerate a loss of connectivity between its members. However, the exact method by which it does this and what that means for someone looking to configure this setting on their own system is not entirely obvious. For example, InterSystems released an alert in April of 2015 detailing the consequences of having a shorter QoS timeout on virtualized systems and our decision to change the default value of QoS from 2 seconds to 8 seconds in newer versions. To start with, however, I want to discuss how exactly QoS is used on any given system. For the purpose of this discussion, I am only going to refer to the machines and mirror members involved in mirror failover; asynchronous mirror members (which cannot automatically take over in any failure scenario) play no part in mirror failover.
Agent Controlled Failover Mode (all systems pre 2015.1, and some 2015.1+)
All mirrors running on systems before version 2015.1 of Caché, and some mirrors on later systems, make use of only two machines to determine failover; they lack the third machine used as an arbiter in later mirrors. These two machine setups operate in what is known as Agent Controlled Failover Mode. Therefore, understanding what will occur in any given scenario when operating under Agent Controlled Failover Mode requires us to look only at the primary and backup failover machines.
On the primary machine, the QoS timeout determines how long the primary may wait for acknowledgment from the backup that the backup has received journal data. Although data can be entered (and stored in buffers) while the primary waits for an acknowledgment, Caché will not return on operations such as a journal sync. While waiting on the QoS timeout, the primary will not write to the database without an acknowledgment, but will write to the journals. After the QoS timeout, the primary sends a message to the backup to tell it to disconnect before entering the trouble state, which prevents it, the primary, from writing to both the journals and the databases.
If the QoS+Trouble Timeout time limit is exceeded waiting on a response from the backup, then the primary will continue without acknowledgement from the backup. Trouble Timeout is three times the length of the QoS through version 2015.1, and two times the length of the QoS in 2015.2+. The primary will continue in this way until the backup reconnects, catches up, and then is marked active. When the backup is once more marked active, the primary will again wait on acknowledgements before committing journal writes to disk.
On the other side of the connection, if the backup gets no message from the primary within half the QoS timeout period, it will send a message to make sure the Primary is still alive. This ensures that on systems where the primary goes for a long period without sending data that the backup does not disconnect or mark itself erroneously as behind. The backup then waits an additional ½ QoS for a response from the primary machine.
If the primary tells the backup that the primary is still up, the backup will continue normally. If the backup does not receive such a message, it will check with the ISCAgent on the primary machine to see if the primary instance is down or hung. If it gets confirmation that the primary is down or hung, it will force down the primary and take over itself as the new primary. If the backup gets no message from the primary after requesting one, it has no way of knowing whether the primary is running normally and has just lost connection with the backup, or if the primary is in fact down. Therefore the backup will not take over as primary, as two mirror members running as primary simultaneously (a condition known as split brain) can lead to unpredictable and unrecoverable results.
This process of checking on the primary after only ½ QoS without a message means that the backup will wait for close to the full QoS timeout on a busy system after an actual disconnect before taking over. On a system with low activity, the backup might respond in as little as half QoS, as the primary may not have sent a message for up to half QoS before there was any actual loss of connection.
Arbiter Controlled Failover Mode (2015.1+ only)
The alternative to Agent Controlled Failover Mode is Arbiter Controlled Failover Mode. It is available only in Caché versions 2015.1 and later. In a system with an arbiter, both mirror members also maintain connection with a third, arbiter machine. The arbiter dictates failover behavior when the whole primary machine loses connection or goes down. It is important to note that whenever the two failover members in a mirror configured to use an arbiter are connected to each other and to the arbiter, the system will switch to Arbiter Controlled Failover Mode automatically.
When using an arbiter, the primary behaves in much a similar way as to when there is no arbiter. The first exception is when the primary unexpectedly loses connection to the backup. When such a loss of connection occurs, the primary will enter trouble state and send a message to the arbiter to check on the arbiter's connection with the backup. The primary will wait in trouble state until the arbiter sends a return message, preventing all writes during this time. If the arbiter responds and says that it also lost connection to the backup, the primary will switch to agent controlled mode and continue writes.
If the arbiter responds saying that it is still connected to the backup, then the primary will send a message to the backup (via the arbiter) to initiate a switch to agent controlled mode. Once the backup switches to agent controlled mode, it will send a message to the primary (also via the arbiter) saying it is safe to switch to agent controlled mode. The primary will then switch to agent controlled mode and continue writes.
If the arbiter does not report back at all, then the primary will continue blocking updates, as it knows that the backup and arbiter may believe the primary to be down. This is an important feature in order to prevent split brain, without it, the logic the arbiter uses to decide when the backup should take over would be invalid. The primary will wait indefinitely in this trouble state for acknowledgment from either the backup or the arbiter, and upon getting such a signal will not continue as primary unless it gets confirmation that the backup did not take over during the break in communication.
The second exception is that the primary will wait indefinitely on the backup to respond to the intentional disconnect message sent when entering trouble state. If the backup receives the disconnect instruction, it will switch to agent controlled and then instruct the primary to switch to agent controlled. The primary will then continue after switching. However, if the primary does not receive the signal to switch, for instance due to some other disconnect, it will continue in trouble state until it does receive such a signal.
The backup in arbiter controlled mode will send a message to the arbiter if it loses connection with the primary. If it gets no return message from the arbiter, it will wait indefinitely, so as to not take over if it is isolated. The arbiter may send either of two different messages to the backup to end this behavior.
First the primary may have sent an instruction to initiate a switch to agent controlled mode via the arbiter as described above. When the arbiter passes this message along to the backup, the backup will switch to agent controlled mode and then send a message via the arbiter for the primary to do the same.
Second, the arbiter may send a message to the backup saying that the arbiter has also lost connection with the primary. If this occurs, then the backup will take over as primary. This is known to be safe (prevent split brain) due to the primary pausing writes whenever it loses connection to both arbiter and backup in arbiter controlled mode.
It is important to note that unless all three machines lose connectivity nearly simultaneously, any connection loss will result in a switch to agent controlled mode. This ensures there are no problems when the machines eventually reconnect or if multiple disconnects are staggered.
Pitfalls and Concerns when Configuring your Quality of Service Timeout
In order to determine what QoS is best for your system, you need to decide how to value two competing issues: How long do you want to wait on a failover in the event the primary has actually gone down, and how long do you want to give the primary and network to send new information when running slowly? These concerns are partly subjective, but there are some guidelines to keep in mind, the most common of which are backup utilities.
VM snapshots and other backup utilities can often take several seconds to run. Additionally, many of these freeze networking for some or all of their duration. If the length of a network outage caused by a snapshot exceeds the QoS timeout period, then you will experience a failover. This is the primary reason that InterSystems changed the default QoS from 2 seconds to 8 second in versions 2015.2+. In fact, any event that prevents the primary from talking to other machines for the QoS timeout or longer will cause failovers, even if the primary could have been able to continue on with no problem. Benchmarking tests on your vm performance, disk performance, and network performance will help determine just how long these pauses in communication may last.
On the other hand, long QoS timeouts mean that data may not be written to the database for longer periods of time. This means that users may be more likely to notice delays in functionality as the primary is willing to wait longer on journal syncs for a response from the backup. It also means that in an event where the primary becomes disconnected from the backup but not data processing, more data will potentially be lost as processes send asynchronous writes to the primary that are then never sent to the backup before failover. Remember that in the latter situation no data that were guaranteed to be durable, such as those checked by journal syncs, will be lost. Any write that cares about whether it was successful is forced to wait for the backup to acknowledge receipt of that journal information before committing any changes to the database.
Conceptually, the QoS timeout is the length of time a system is willing to wait on making writes to the database should the primary and failover lose connection, and long periods may not be desirable. Excessive QoS timeouts may even result in system freezes due to a lack of journal writes, as Caché will freeze if it waits too long on a journal write. The primary freezes all writes while waiting on the QoS timeout in order to make sure no data is guaranteed as stored until both mirror members have that data, but this means that if the QoS timeout is too long, the journal inactivity timeout could be exceeded and cause the whole system to freeze while the journal daemon is waiting on the QoS timeout. This might even result in a failover onto the backup that was having trouble receiving updates in the first place! On earlier versions, the default timeout for journal inactivity is 10 seconds, whereas in Caché 2013.1.4+ the journal inactivity timeout was increased to 30 seconds. Therefore, it is imperative to not have QoS be higher than those values.
Overall, the QoS timeout must be small enough that you can tolerate waiting that long for a failover in a primary failure event, but large enough to not cause unwanted failovers due to normal losses of connection. Since QoS timeout is not generally modified before and after VM snapshots and similar events, it is typically best to look at your longest expected breaks in connectivity for a metric on how long your QoS should be. You can then configure QoS to be long enough to be able to handle those events, but not too much longer. This will minimize the time to failover in an actual primary member failure while simultaneously preventing unwanted failover events.

Thanks Thomas. Great article!
One recommendation I would like to add is with VM-based snapshot backups, we recommend NOT including the VM's memory state as part of the snapshot. This will greatly reduce the time a VM will be "stunned or paused" that would potentially bump up close to or exceed the QoS value. Not including the memory state as part of the VM snapshot is OK for the database as recovery never relies on information in memory (assuming the appropriate ExternalFreeze and ExternalThaw APIs are used), since all writes from the database are frozen during the snapshot (journal writes are still occurring).


Adamis Pharmaceuticals announced that the Food and Drug Administration has accepted for review the New Drug Application for its epinephrine pre-filled syringe "PFS." The FDA indicated that it considered the resubmission to be a complete response to the complete response letter.
Recall that Adamis (ticker: ADMP) announced the resubmission of the NDA. The revised NDA addresses the issues in the letter received from the agency in June this year. The submission now triggers a six-month Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date, which should represent approval of PFS by June 15.
Adamis' valuation is compelling, in our view. At a sub-$100 million market capitalization and with what we believe should be the next version of an [ Mylan (MYL) branded] EpiPen-like product (PFS), plus a pipeline of respiratory products and compounding pharmacy revenue set to build, we see Adamis as poised for a breakout year in 2017.
What were the additional tests that Adamis' PFS had to complete as part of the response to the letter?
1) Expansion of the human factors study (patient usability). The original study was conducted on patients ages 18 or older. The company is expanding the study to any person (over a certain size/weight). This includes an evaluation of trained and untrained persons, experienced and naïve patients, and reuse (weeks later). These studies are typical. In the original study, Adamis' PFS was compared to all of the current standards in the market, and it performed better than all of them. As such, we do not see this as a significant or prolonged study, and we believe it represents a low hurdle.
2) Additional product stress testing. The FDA is requesting that product stress testing (temperature exposure, tumblers [shock] exposures, vibration exposures) now be done in sequence.
Has the EpiPen Market gone generic and will PFS still be impactful?
1) Last week, there was news that CVS Health (CVS) will offer a $100 cheap epinephrine pen ("Adrenaclick") by Impax Laboratories (IPXL). We review a few of the key parameters around this product, the market and Adamis PFS. We conclude that Adrenaclick is an old product that has been around for a decade, and is not an A/B generic substitutable and is in many ways an inferior product. As such, we believe it is unlikely to set the pricing of the marketplace as Adamis' PFS enters (we expect by mid-summer 2017).
2) Mylan is now launching its own generic version of EpiPen at a wholesale cost of $300 for a two-pack carton; this is exactly where we assumed it would be. Mylan tells us that generic EpiPen will be available in pharmacies this week.
3) We believe PFS may actually be a better (more user friendly product, design-wise) versus both EpiPen and Adrenaclick. The market opportunity is large. Even with just moderate market share assumptions, PFS becomes a significant product.
We assume PFS launches in second-half 2017 with modest revenue (our model uses a 50% therapeutic cut) in addition to a 30% risk rate in our free-cash-flow-for-the-firm, sum-of-the-parts and discounted-earnings-per-share models to derive our $10 price target.


Proposed Terre Haute casino bill is failed to clear a senate committee on Wednesday. Committee members voted 5-5 on the creation of a new casino in the region. The chairman of the policy also opposed the bill.
Tim Lanane, who looks after Hoosier Park Racing & Casino in Anderson and Senator Vaneta Becker (R-50), who look after Tropicana Casino in Evansville along with three other members, turned down the senate bill 354.
And that means the chances of creating a casino in Terre Haute area is finished. Now the government and gaming bodies should also take a look at big picture of gaming throughout the state.
Another move taken by Rising Star Casino is failed because of No approval of the casino-project. Many years ago Rising Star Casino parent company Full House resorts also lost its battle to develop a casino near Indianapolis.
Competitors of Terre Haute casino were arguing that additional casino would have hurt casinos and its community throughout the state.
Some casinos are already operating near Terre Haute like one in Evansville and French Lick and the two "racinos" in Anderson and Shelbyville. Two "racinos" and French Lick has received monetary support from previous bills but Evansville has not received any kind of support from previous bill.
Stating his views on current scenarios the general manager of Tropicana Casino John Chaszar said that "it would have definitely affected our business in the region" and any loss of ours casino-revenue will hit local economy as well.
Now the rest of the casino operators are very happy. The decision is a smart one says chaszer in his statement.

In prenatal massage, massage therapists must possess good knowledge of pregnancy and the anatomy of pregnant women. Deep tissue work, abdominal kneading and certain acupressure points should be avoided. Therapist will also take extra care to make sure that positioning during a massage is safe to the both mother and the baby. A pregnancy massage should be very soothing and relaxing in style. It promotes relaxation, soothes nerves and relieves strained back and legs of expectant mothers. It helps improve the circulation of blood, reduces stress on weight-bearing joints. Most importantly, prenatal massage helps to increase the flexibility of the pregnant woman's body so that her labor and delivery would be easier and less painful for her.
Prenatal massage is also helpful after the birth. The massage is supposed to bring back the balance into the woman's body, which has been disrupted by her pregnancy. It also helps improve the elasticity of her skin, which has been stretched by pregnancy, as well as to bring back her muscle tone. Moreover, massage aids the mother through possible post-partum depression.


Vienna, Austria-based Crypto Future, a firm also specializing in blockchain-based IT solutions, announced in a press release CoinReport received from Jargon PR, Crypto Future's communications agency, that the Rieder-Veltlinerof family, a well-known winegrower dynasty from the "Wine Town of Austria" (Poysdorf), is going to become the first winery to utilize the firm's Rotharium Food Tracing application.
The family has been growing wine in Poysdorf, in the "Weinviertel" region, since 1746. They also run hotels and restaurants.
The lower Austrian region of "Weinviertel," as the name suggests, is one of Austria's most important wine-growing regions. The geological and climate conditions offer the perfect conditions to grow exceptional white wines like Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Grüner Veltliner. The Rieder-Veltlinerof family also produces rich red wines like Rote Cuveés, Merlot and Zweigelt.
According to its origin, each wine is given a distinct, special note and flavor. The wine grown in this region is predominantly fruity because of the marked change in temperature between night and day and the loess-clay soils. The complexity in the Rieder wines comes from high ripeness of the grapes. The Rieder Winery naturally pays attention to sustainable agriculture.
The Rotharium Food Tracing app allows for forgery-proof traceability of food. All logistics data like crop time and transport data is protected against any manipulation by storing it in a decentralized way via a mobile phone app utilizing blockchain technology.
The app enables farmers to quickly and easily set up their farms and define the goods they produce. After that, a QR code is generated and assigned to the particular products or production location. Both consumers and producers can then retrieve the data using a QR scanner.
The app is specifically suitable for winegrowers, as Austria requires the highest standards in wine production the world over. The utilization of blockchain-based food tracing allows for already prevalent quality standards to be further increased, ensuring the end consumer the best quality for their money. Moreover, the mobile phone application offers the possibility to increase the transparency of logistics and transport.

The Sinner Season 3 Finale: Parsing That Unexpected Ending — Spoilers
By celeb 10 months ago
Whether or not the USA series continues, this chapter's final episode is a deeply emotional culmination of two characters' shared journey.
[Note: The following review contains spoilers for the ending of "The Sinner" Season 3 finale.]
Bill Pullman spent his 66th birthday watching a fictional character die right in front of him. Through scheduling plans and coincidences, that day last December happened to be the final day of shooting for Season 3 of the USA series "The Sinner." Filming the final scene between Jamie Burns (Matt Bomer) and Detective Harry Ambrose (Pullman) made for an interesting blend of urgency and focus, with a little bit of celebration on the side.
"We wanted to do it on the last day of shooting. We had a little corner to paint into," Pullman said in an interview with IndieWire. "Tried to get a little lunchtime birthday cake in there, going into this really raw space to do the final sequence. By the time we were doing it, we were pretty efficient and got it all covered."
It was an episode that "The Sinner" showrunner Derek Simonds co-wrote and — for the first time in the show's three-season run — directed. Finishing up production on the season with arguably its most pivotable sequence was a deliberate choice. The showdown between Harry Ambrose (Pullman) and fatally tormented schoolteacher Jamie Burns (Matt Bomer) became the climactic physical, emotional, and psychological point of a season-long arc, leading to an understandable amount of prep. Much of it was extending the contradiction at the core of Jamie's character, all the way up through his death from a bullet to the stomach delivered by Harry's gun.
"We tried to make Jamie as sympathetic as possible, given his actions," Simonds said. "We knew we wanted him to devolve into a violent place. But I tried really hard to delay that and show the struggle around violence and not have that come too easily. We'd rather have Jamie say things and express things that hopefully resonate with everyone. There's kernels of truth in everything he says that I think people largely relate to."
The extended showdown was a challenge for the actors to perform, but getting to that point was also a complex writing journey. Watching Harry hold Jamie's hand as the young man bleeds out on his living room floor becomes a final act of mercy and comfort. Even though Harry's gunshot was the fatal blow, there's still a way that "The Sinner" avoids pitting the two men against each other as simple, easy foils.

"Even at the very end of the finale, they're still toggling between being antagonists and being soulmates. That never goes away completely. If you lose that, then it's too reductive, and you're giving people a good vs evil storyline," Simonds said. "I don't want to give people that easy way out with this story. I hope that at the end of the season, Jamie lingers as this conflict that's not easily resolved. He stays kind of a knot rather than a solution."
Part of the work in preparing Jamie's final moments involved ensuring that Pullman and Bomer were on the same page about not just the physical logistics of grappling over guns and the hand-to-hand combat particulars, but the overall arc of the scene. Pullman admitted that his actorly instincts usually gravitate toward a looser approach within any given scene. Filming Jamie's dying moments of fear and sadness, Pullman found common ground with the more meticulous Bomer in an unexpected way.
"When you go to loop it, you hear your voice, certain effort sounds or guttural sounds or things that are coming from a place that you didn't really realize," Pullman said. "We were really trying to find our breath in parallel with each other. That was something that I hadn't really anticipated to be so important to get in sync there."
That blend of the physical and the verbal also shows up in Jamie's farewell to his wife Leela (Parisa Fitz-Henley). After a season of turmoil within and outside their marriage, that last shared bit of understanding, with the two on opposite sides of a glass door, happens with no words spoken between them.
"If you read the script, that scene with Jamie and Leela, every emotional beat and permutation in that scene is scripted," Simonds said. "We anticipated writing a final scene between them and everything that I approached felt like it was a beat we had already written in the story. And it occurred to me suddenly that the only thing he's doing is coming to say goodbye — to see her one last time. There's really nothing more to say at this point. It felt so right when we realized that it didn't need any dialogue. There's a lot of silence in the finale, but there's a lot of talking. So it felt really good to not have another scene where characters were processing through words."
The season ends with another wrenching sequence: watching Harry again realize the ramifications of what passed between him and Jamie. The gunshot, the pain, the sense of control, and the internal reckoning with events in his own life all crest as he sits across from Sonya (Jessica Hecht), a woman he could feel more ready to share his life with, now that this part of it is over. Season 3 of "The Sinner" ends in tears, with no easy answer to wrap everything up, but Simonds still sees it as optimistic.

"I see a lot of hope in that scene, this cathartic moment where Ambrose — after three seasons of containing his emotions — is finally undone. The dam is broken there. To me, I see that as a very hopeful moment, that he's starting to learn how to be vulnerable and intimate with someone and that might just be with Sonya," Simonds said.
"The Sinner" has always operated through an anthology structure. Each season has come without a guarantee of what may come next. The show's ultimate future is still yet to be determined, but Pullman explained that if the show continues, it will continue the challenge of balancing Harry's personal evolution with the things that keep him a steady force.
"I feel so fortunate to be given this thing that I had spent my life kind of avoiding, doing a recurring series. I just was so afraid of being locked into something that I would lose my passion for. But now being given it, you realize that finding the character, the traits that do stay inside his core, it's been part of the overall sense of discovery of doing it over three seasons," Pullman said.
These three seasons also offer an effective trilogy in charting Harry's journey from a detective in denial about many things in his life to one who's made a number of significant breakthroughs. If this really was Harry's farewell, Simonds feels like he will have been left in a good place.
"My thought was always that we would follow Ambrose. Every season and every case that he encounters forces him on his meta arc over the course of the show. Each case really stimulates him and challenges him in a certain way. Jamie really is the ultimate challenge for Ambrose. I do think that there's a beautiful completion, if this is all that we see of Ambrose. If the show doesn't continue, I'm really pleased with the arc that we've told," Simonds said. "There's always the question of, 'If there's a Season 4, what would Ambrose's next step be?' The show is an anthology show [so] we could just completely refresh the show with entirely new characters. But we'll see. I think the show has always been designed to bring Ambrose on this larger journey in his life."
"The Sinner" Season 3 is now available to watch via USA.
