PAT's the Way to Do It: How to Improve the Fan Experience
I have a confession to make; I'm a latecomer to "football" or as we know it in the US "soccer." Growing up it was American Football, basketball, a bit of baseball, and when Dallas got the Stars in '94 it was all about hockey. One of the things I knew I would miss when I moved to Thailand was sports, so I soon latched onto the EPL and became a raging football fan, watching a myriad of games each weekend.
Sports on TV are nice, but I really missed the live experience. Giving up my season tickets to the Stars was just about the biggest blow for me, well aside from forgoing good Mexican food, so I was thrilled in 2011 when my gal suggested we go to a TPL match. Truth be told I did not even know there was a league. We first went to a BEC Tero match at Thephasadin Stadium that was ok, but not that impressive. The next week we went to see Port vs Sisaket at PAT and we were immediately hooked.
I have really enjoyed these 6 seasons. It's been a roller coaster of emotions with a cup final, relegations, promotions, road trips, and lots of new friends both Thai and foreign. I have never felt more connected and attached to a team.
For me the fan experience is really what professional sports are about. And it is one thing that American sports do quite well. From ticketing, to merchandising, marketing and what occurs each game day is well planned and thought out and most of it's all fan-centric.
I would like to suggest a few things that would make the Port fan experience even better.
As a long time season ticket holder and Zone A denizen, I would like to have a reserved seat and be able to retain that seat season to season.
It would also be nice to have all the tickets ready at the beginning of the season for season ticket holders so that we don't have to go to the shop each week to get our tickets. They could be labeled Match 1, 2, etc.
Merchandising and Marketing
Some years have been better than others. The years with Mizuno and Joma saw the shopped well stocked throughout the season with plenty of jerseys, t-shirts, and swag available. Other years have seen long waits for jerseys and a pretty barren shop. Port supporters buy a lot of merchandise, so ensuring that the suppliers keep the shop stocked and open during business hours is something all the fans will appreciate.
As I mentioned in the first paragraph; I lived in Bangkok, Khlongtoey specifically for over ten year before I even knew there was a league. I might have found the team a bit earlier had there been merch in the malls.
Game Day Experience
The atmosphere at PAT is great. Each year there is more food, more activities, and the supporters appreciate it. Last year the club sought out discounts on hotels for away trips and there were some buses. For certain effort is being put in by the club to make the game day experience better for the fans. I am hopeful we will have an even better atmosphere during the upcoming season with even more fan-centric events for supporters.
Again, just my two cents on some things I would like to see. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming season. Hopefully we will field a competitive team. A mid-table finish would be wonderful!

Australia has its "head in the sand" regarding the national security implications of climate change and should follow the US in spelling out the risks, a former senior Australian defence official says.
Australia's "strategic weakness" on climate policy is also making it harder for the country to be seen as a preferred partner with Pacific Island countries, according to Cheryl Durrant, the defence department's former head of preparedness.
The comments coincide with the release of a new report by the Climate Council that argues Australia has "fallen well behind the US, UK, Japan, New Zealand and other peers in analysis of climate and security risks".
The US president, Joe Biden, has ordered a review of the security implications of climate change. His defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, has said climate change is "making the world more unsafe and we need to act".
Austin – who will meet with his Australian counterpart, Peter Dutton, in Washington for the Ausmin talks on Thursday – said in April that no nation could find lasting security without addressing the climate crisis.
Echoing that language, the Climate Council report says climate change "increases the risk of conflict and Australia will not find lasting national security without adequately addressing it".
"Failure to rise to the challenge of climate and security is already leading to a loss of geopolitical influence for Australia, particularly in the Pacific," says the report, titled Rising to the Challenge: Addressing Climate and Security in our Region.
The report says water has long been a contested resource in Asia and climate change is worsening the situation.
"Any conflict over water in our region could have profound consequences for Australia," the report states. "Pacific Island countries as well as Bangladesh, China, Vietnam, India and Indonesia face significant threats from sea level rise, which is likely to increase displacement and forced migration."
The government's defence strategic update, published last year, included only a passing reference to climate change when mentioning threats to human security.
"These threats will be compounded by population growth, urbanisation and extreme weather events in which climate change plays a part," the document said.
Durrant, the lead author of the Climate Council report and long-serving former Australian defence official, said the Australian defence force was well-equipped to provide disaster support but it was important for the government to address "the root cause of this problem".
"I get a sense that we've got our head in the sand – not necessarily the ADF, which I think would be quite keen to press on," Durrant told Guardian Australia.
"I was hearing from, say, our Pacific maritime advisers, who are actually on the ground in the Pacific Island nations 24/7, 365 days a year – they are getting feedback on what Pacific Islanders think is really important.
"On the one hand we have our strategic narrative about the need to sort of shape and influence the region, and yet on the other hand we're ignoring the strategic weakness of our climate policy, making it harder for us to be convincing as a preferred ally and partner."
The Climate Council report urges the Australian government to launch a national climate and security threat assessment – an idea first recommended by a Senate inquiry in 2018.
It argues climate change "remains on the margins of Australia's defence, foreign affairs and trade strategies".
Durrant said the threat of great-power conflict had not gone away, but the proposed new review was "about stepping up and appreciating that climate change is a national security threat".
"That's quite clearly articulated pretty much by all our major allies now … and we're the ones that are still not connecting the dots between rising disasters and the flow-on effects that those can have in destabilising the region and causing forced migration or conflict."
Sherri Goodman, a former US deputy undersecretary of defense specialising in environmental security, welcomed the report, saying Australia "further risks being left behind the clean energy transition".
Goodman told Guardian Australia climate change acted "as a threat multiplier, exacerbating risks for Australia and its allies, from extreme heat and wildfire at home, to devastating typhoons and extreme weather events across the Pacific".
"A comprehensive climate security risk assessment, such as that ordered by president Biden earlier this year, is a key pillar in assessing climate risks to security missions, operations, and key operating facilities, including those jointly used by American forces in Darwin," Goodman said.
The Australian defence department says it "prepares for a wide range of contingencies including those that may arise due to climate change".
Last month, in response to Senate questions on notice, the department said it "routinely considers climate risks" in its planning. Defence white papers in 2009, 2013 and 2016 had "acknowledged climate change as a national security issue".
On Monday, the Liberal senator Andrew Bragg – the new chair of the Senate standing committee on environment and communications – urged the government to commit to net zero emissions at the Cop26 climate talks in Glasgow.

Published Nov 2, 2017
The idea to create community gardens on rooftops in Wellington's central city has taken out the top prize at the Wellington Climathon, and will now be the subject of further research at Victoria University of Wellington by the team behind the idea.
Victoria students Chris Fink and Tadhg Connolly, and electrical engineer Naomi Gillgren—who had not met each other prior to the annual Victoria and Wellington City Council event—developed the idea and presented their business case to the judging panel after a 24-hour marathon of concept analysis, research and idea development.
The team beat 14 other teams in the Wellington competition, taking home the $1,000 cash prize as overall winners. They also won the Sustainability Research Award, which includes $5,000 to fund further research of their idea.
Chris says their idea aimed to provide a way to better engage Wellingtonians with the environment and each other.
"Community gardens give people a place to care about and also encourage them to interact with nature, which can be pretty hard to do in cities."
Tadhg added that the gardens could help cause a shift in people's behaviours and have flow-on environmental benefits. "People who are engaged with their environments are more likely to make environmentally friendly decisions, like buying local food and using alternative forms of transport."
In a public poll, the team found nearly 90 per cent of respondents would use a rooftop garden, and over 80 percent would be willing to pay more rent to live in a building with one.
One of the judges, Assistant Vice-Chancellor (Sustainability) Associate Professor Marjan van den Belt, was impressed with the team's innovative idea.
"It could be a game-changer in terms of insulation, growing food and providing public green spaces—it's a great vision for the city."
The team is planning to spend their prize money to research potential issues and solutions around creating rooftop gardens in a windy, earthquake-prone city and trial a community garden on a Wellington rooftop.
Other award-winning innovations include:
- Children's education game for waste
- Disposable compost bin
- Multi-business shopping portal for zero-waste products
- Electric scooters with battery exchange and charging stations
- Compost toilet resource action plan
- Digital communication tool to redistribute construction waste to schools
- Local council engagement digital tool to engage youth
Prizes were donated by Victoria University's Enhancing Resilience and Sustainability theme, Viclink's Victoria Entrepreneur Bootcamp, Greater Wellington Regional Council, the Low Carbon Challenge, ethical business advisory and investor MOTIF, and social enterprise development organisation the Ākina Foundation,.
The Wellington Climathon event was run simultaneously with events in Christchurch, Auckland and 230 other cities around the world.
It was delivered by MOTIF and Viclink, Victoria's commercialisation arm, with additional support from Enspiral company EXP, and supported by the Deep South National Science Challenge, Royal Society of New Zealand and Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association.

Combating LeBron's inside game
The Raptors must contend with James in the restricted area, where he shot 83.3 percent against the Pacers
Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey heard the comments that came from LeBron James after he led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the second round of the playoffs. James used the words burnt, tired and exhausted, delivering those in such a weakened state that put in doubt whether he'd have anything left for the top-seeded Raptors.
"You believe he's tired?" was Casey's response to reporters on Monday, after repeated questions on how he'd combat James. "I don't believe it. We're not banking on it."
Yes, James will be energized going into Tuesday night's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Raptors and the Cavaliers.
Yes, the Raptors appear better equipped this season to deal with James, as they bring more depth.
But do the Raptors have the game plan to slow James, who is looking to eliminate Toronto for the third straight year?
"There are certain things you want to live with and certain things you want to take away," Casey said. "I'm not going to give you a strategy."
But he hinted at it, explaining that Toronto will bang James. "Within the rules," Casey said. "Without hurting anybody."
LeBron's 45 points are the second-most ever in a Game 7. "The King" has now won his last 5 Game 7's.
That's what the Indiana Pacers tried in the first round, physically banging James with a group that included Bojan Bogdanovic, Lance Stephenson, Myles Turner and Thaddeus Young.
All James did was average 34.4 points, 10.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game. It was the fifth playoff series where he averaged at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. According to NBA.com/stats, no other player has done that more than once.
The Indiana series showed the biggest improvement for James during his career: his post-up game.
That aspect of his game was a flaw in his failed pursuit of an NBA title with the Miami Heat in 2011, especially in his Game 4 disappearing act, when James missed eight of 11 shots and showed a shocking unwillingness to use his massive frame to create space inside.
In the first round against the Pacers, James — through an assortment of post-ups, layups and dunks — had 60 attempts within 4 feet of the rim (the restricted area) in the seven games and made 50 (83.3 percent).
Everyone will remember the clutch 3-point game-winner from James in Game 5, but during that 44-point effort, he kept the Cavaliers in the game by scoring 12 of his 14 field goals within the restricted area.
LeBron James scored 12 of his 14 field goals within 4 feet of the basket in Game 5 against the Pacers.
How do the Raptors combat a 15-year vet who, in a league where everyone is 3-ball happy, has learned to dominate the paint?
"We have some flexible players, versatile players," Casey said.
True. But neither OG Anunoby nor Pascal Siakam is seasoned enough. C.J. Miles and DeMar DeRozan aren't big enough. Serge Ibaka isn't quick enough. And no one on the Raptors is strong enough.
The Raptors might be the top seed.
But minus a way to neutralize James, that might be in serious jeopardy.
"We understand everything starts and stops with him," Casey said. "There's a pecking order in terms of what we want to give up and what we want to live with."

How to create and add pricing categories
Pricing Categories are used to define your product prices per Adult, Child, Group, etc. Pricing categories are created centrally in the platform and added to each of your products as needed.
These categories can be created and defined to suit your needs. They can be connected to age limits and it's possible to define dependency between pricing categories, e.g. for each booked adult it is only possible to book one child.
Create Pricing Categories
Click Settings in the side navigation, then click Pricing categories.
By default, you already have three pricing categories set up by default; Adults, Children and Teenagers.
Click on the blue Add button in the right-hand corner of the screen to add a new one.
- Title: Enter a name for your pricing category. This could be e.g. Group, Price per ticket, Family of four etc. This field is mandatory.
- Ticket Category: Select the category that best describes your ticket type
- Age qualified: These fields are used to determine the age range for this particular pricing category, e.g. Children 7-14 years old. Note that there is no need to add both upper and limit if they're not applicable, e.g. for adults there is no need to add an upper limit. These are optional fields.
Click Save and the pricing category is ready for use.
On the right-hand side you can edit the Advanced options
- For internal use only: Check this box if you're creating a pricing category for internal use only, e.g. a "Free Ticket" category that only you and your staff can book
- Occupancy: Add the number of seats this category occupies. If you are e.g. making a price category for a group of 4 people, you select 4 in this field. That way 4 seats/spaces of your product get booked when that price category is selected.Please note: this is not the maximum number of participants for each departure.
- Group size (only appears for "Group" ticket category): Define how many seats the group should occupy. E.g. if you add 6 here, 6 seats will be reserved when this pricing category is booked.
- Group Occupancy (only appears for "Group" ticket category): Here you define whether f the pricing category is booked as a group or per passenger. Here are more information on how to make the pricing category book multiple seats.
- Age qualified: These fields are used to determine the age range for this particular pricing category, e.g. Children 7-14 years old. Note that there is no need to add both upper and limit if they're not applicable, e.g. for adults there is no need to add an upper limit. These are optional fields.
- Set max sum for dependent categories: These fields allow you to create a dependency between your pricing categories. You can e.g. define that each booked adult can only book one child/teenager. These are optional fields.
- Set max sum for dependent categories: This field allows you to define the max sum of dependent categories. Let's say that you have set your Children and Teenager categories so that they need to be booked with an Adult. You can then define in your Adult category that each booked Adult can only book 1 of the dependent categories by adding 1 in this field. In this case you can book 1 Adult and 1 Child OR Teenager. Not 1 Child and 1 Teenager.
- Flags: Not applicable unless you are using API to connect pricing categories to external systems.
Add Pricing Categories to Products
Click Experiences from the side navigation then select Experiences
Click the product you intend to add pricing categories to.
Click Pricing > Pricing categories.
Select the pricing categories you want to add from the drop-down and then click on Save & Continue.
Once you've added your pricing categories, you can change the default one if required or delete those you don't need.
You can also change the order of the Pricing categories at the beginning of the line
How do my pricing categories appear in the online booking engine?
Once you've selected your pricing categories, they will appear in your online booking engine so your customer can book the appropriate ones.

Once a time sheet has been created, do not edit the instance and modify the department. Imagine that you are developing a time sheet that should include the departments and the names of the employees. The time sheet also acts as a means to track the amount of time between puppies. As soon as your time sheet is blocked, you will need to contact the project manager to unlock and modify the hours. You can see the timesheets you have created in the Time Sheet list window. Accurate timesheets are essential to be paid properly and completely. Therefore, it is important that you and the employee approve the previous timesheet before it is deactivated.
If necessary, you can reduce the number of hours and make a partial publication. SELECT THE POSITION for which you want to enter hours. If you worked the specific hours assigned to you, you can simply confirm your time by selecting the green confirmation button at the base of your timesheet. In case the time is excessive, you may want to call and ask your veterinarian, as it can be a problem. Compare the times and you will see if there really is a development in the completion of the tasks. Unfortunately, if it is not done correctly, you can not be paid. If you want to make adjustments to the suggested hours, you can click on the time entry and edit it.
The time and attendance systems are intended to provide economic services in the regions of information collection, access control, work expenses and timbre. In addition, most timesheet software has the power to track resource expenditures and project expenses to enable a better future budget. Time management is a crucial aspect every time there is a project in progress in your organization. You should use time sheet management in your everyday affairs. Take your own personal life as if it were your business. It is important that you can join family members and perform important functions for daily life. Many companies use software to control projects that can be time consuming. There are several free services and planners that you can use that will allow you to schedule the previous minute.
The entries for use are made in the work log, where you can modify the information as necessary. Check with your account manager to understand when you are expected to send time tickets before they are blocked. You may have assigned time entries for at least 1 project in a day. You can not edit a timesheet entry that has been billed.
Go to the cell of the sheet you are interested in so that the list appears. You will find a list of categories that are specific to your project or standard company categories. When you have logged in, you will be placed on the web page where you create your time sheet. In this way, you only have to enter the information in one area and the line information is always accurate.

I decided to record some screencasts to show how easy it is to deploy GlusterFS using Puppet-Gluster+Vagrant. You can follow along even if you don't know anything about Puppet or Vagrant. The hardest part of this process was producing the actual videos!
If recommend first reading my earlier articles if you're planning on following along:
Automatically deploying GlusterFS with Puppet-Gluster + Vagrant!
Without any further delay, here are the screencasts:
Part 1: Intro, and provisioning of the Puppet server.
Part 2: Initial building of the Gluster hosts.
Part 3: Finishing the Gluster builds.
Part 4: GlusterFS client mounting and tests.
Part 5: Mixed bag of code, infrastructure tours, examples and other details.
I hope you enjoyed these videos. Thank you to the Gluster.org community for hosting them. If you liked these videos, please consider sponsoring some of my work, or making a donation!
As a side note, the only screencast tool that worked was gtk-recordmydesktop, however it deleted my second recording (which had to be re-recorded) and the audio stopped working one minute into my third recording (which had to then be separately recorded, and mixed in). Amazingly, pitivi was the only tool which worked to properly mix them together!
Happy Hacking,
PS: Please note, you may not sell, edit, redistribute, perform, or host these videos elsewhere without my permission. I especially don't want to see them on youtube until Google let's me unlink my youtube account! If you do want my permission to use these videos for something, contact me, and we can work something out. I'll surely allow it if it's not for something evil. If you'd rather have an interactive, live demo, let me know!

Let's be honest, nobody takes pleasure on cleaning. It is tedious and messy, two words no one uses when trying to say something good about something. Which is why many opt for using a maid service. Yet, whether it is for cost reasons or just plain stubbornness, people continue to take on the task themselves. Sure you can save money, but is the quality of your own cleaning equal to spotless and sparkling clean? Probably not.
Maid services have been around forever for a reason, which is by simply just making your life easier. Aside from making your life a walk at the park, there are plenty of other benefits of using a maid service:
High Quality and Efficiency
When you are a newbie at cleaning, it is totally easy to miss spots and probably take an entire day to get it done. When opting for a maid service you get the best quality and efficiency you can possibly get. Maids are trained and very experienced in what they do. They clean properties for a living and know what they are doing on every visit, almost never missing a spot and doing it all in a couple of hours.
Costs Can Be Less
Most maid service companies offer lower rates the more frequent you use them. For example you can save up to $40 a month when you use We Clean America's maid service more frequently.
More Time
By hiring a maid service, you open up your availability to do other things. Perhaps finishing reading that book or going to check out that art gallery everyone has been talking about.
Dirty Bathrooms
It goes without say that bathrooms are gross after going for a while not getting cleaned. I personally dread cleaning my bathroom. Instead of dealing with your dirty bathroom on your own and probably doing a bad cleaning job on it because you might do it hurriedly, a maid service will use the best products they know are effective and leave that bathroom cleaner and whiter than ever.
Windows and Floors
You don't need to hire a professional window or floor cleaner, maid services, and we are mostly speaking for ourselves offer window cleaning and floor cleaning (hardwood and carpet.)
Honestly, I'm all for doing things yourself to save money, but when it comes to cleaning, you are better off dealing with a maid service who will not only clean better than you but save you the strain and time of trying to do it yourself.

As it is for most people, high school was a difficult time for me. Making friends never came easily to me, and often times the ones I did make weren't always the best people to keep around. During high school, I had the opportunity to have my two closest friends sit in front of me, and point out everything they didn't like about me. I had my group of friends literally turn their back on me while I cried in the lunch line about my dad walking out on my family. I had my best friend tell people she wished I would kill myself so she wouldn't have to do it herself. I had my entire group of friends go on a hiking trip I had planned without me. I watched them make plans in front of me without ever being included; sometimes I even helped with the planning. While they weren't all bad, and those that were had redeeming qualities, I never realized how much I was missing out on in the friend department until I went to college. While my high school friends were a part of my life I will never forget, and I do appreciate those of you I still talk to, this post is for the friends I made in college.
Let me just start by saying that I don't know how you guys do it. I often wonder why you all continue to put up with me, especially considering that I know I'm not easy to handle. I know that I can be obnoxious, annoying, crazy, moody, and a million other things, but yet you all choose to continue seeing the best in me. While I know being my friend is no simple task, I feel that I owe you a few explanations.
First of all, I know I apologize a lot, but just know that every apology is sincere. I apologize because I am terrified that I have actually insulted or upset you in some way, and it kills me to think one of you are mad at me. The truth is that I am terrified to lose any of you, so I will apologize for every little thing. I will constantly ask you if I am annoying, because the last thing I want to do is annoy you, however I feel that I am ALWAYS annoying you. When you text me and don't reply, I know how obnoxious it is that I will automatically think you are mad at me; which I will probably apologize for later. Sometimes the littlest thing will set me off, and it will seem dramatic. Please just know that it is a side effect of my anxiety, as are all of these things. Sometimes I just need some space, and I just need you to be patient with me. I don't mean to ask so much from you, but I promise, when you let me, I will try my hardest to be a good a friend in return.
I appreciate all the little things you guys do for me; even the smallest compliment means the world to me. I never want you guys to think I don't appreciate you, so I do my best to show it. You guys have no idea how much I value you, but you all mean the world to me. You have shown me what true friends do for each other, and I will never be able to thank you enough for that. Maintaining a friendship with someone with depression or anxiety is hard enough, but being friends with someone who struggles with both is nearly impossible. I honestly don't know how or why any of you do it, but I am so thankful that you do. Not only have you shown me how wonderful this world can look when it is filled with amazing friends, you have also helped me to see that I do have some self-worth. You have shown me that it is okay to let your friends see your weaknesses, because they are willing to overlook them to see your strengths. True friends will look past your many flaws, and choose to see the beauty in your heart. While I appreciate all of you, I want to mention some of the people here that have changed me and my life the most.
Stephanie: I am so glad we ended up talking more this past year, and I hope we continue to get to know each other better. You understand me in some ways better than anyone else could, and I thank you for that. You are an amazing person who can always brighten my day.
Dan: Having another writer friend is something I have never had before. It is so amazing having someone to talk about my greatest passion with; someone who understands the passion. You are an amazing writer and an even more amazing friend. I'm lucky to have been introduced to you my freshman year.
Mama: Thank you for being such an important part of the sport I love. You have always encouraged and challenged me, and I appreciate everything you have done for me. You continue to be a huge role model to me, and you have shown me the type of woman I want to be. You have truly become a second mom to me, and I wish you nothing but happiness.
Alex: I owe nearly everything I am in rugby to you. Not only were you the one to talk me into coming to my first practice, you were also the one who talked me through every self doubt and every struggle. You are more than my teammate, you are a friend that I owe my rugby playing to. You believed in me when no one else did, and you never stopped encouraging me to play my best. You helped me find my inner beast and never stopped building up my confidence. I miss you dearly, and I am honored to have taken the rugby field so many times with you. I hope to eventually be half as good of a rugby player as you.
Ginny: You are one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. Your heart is as beautiful as your face, which is impressive because your face is absolutely gorgeous. I love all our conversations, especially when we've each had a few. I wish I could paint and draw as well as you can, because your talent is unbelievable. Never forget how amazing you are, and never let anyone dull your inner sparkle.
Seth: You are so unlike anyone else I have ever met, and I mean that in the best way. I have more memories with you than I can count. I never cease to laugh when I'm around you, but you also have such a beautiful soul. I hope no matter what this world throws at you, you never lose that.
Cassy: You made my freshman year unforgettable. We have so many wonderful memories together, and I am so thankful I met you that first weekend. You were my first friend in college, and you have stayed with me through so many hardships. I love you so much, and I cannot wait to see what this world has to offer you. You're style and confidence is something that I wish I could obtain, and your soul is one of the strongest and most beautiful one I've ever seen. I wish you all the happiness in the world as you prepare to start the next chapter of your life.
Lee: First, I have to say you are such a beast! You are amazing on and off the rugby field, with one of the most amazing sense of kindness I have ever seen. Never let anyone tell you that you can't be who you want to be, and if they do, tackle them to the ground.
Sabrina, Raina, Josi, and Arianna: You girls have such beautiful personalities. I cannot wait to get to know you better as we play the beautiful game of rugby this season. You girls are amazing, and you all work so hard every practice. Keep trying your best, because as a team, we appreciate you. You, along with our other rookies, are the future of this team.
Abbey, Jessie, Julia, Claira, Lil' Meg, Katie, and Courtney: Words cannot describe how proud I am of all of you for all your hard work on and off the rugby field. You guys are so much more than teammates to me- you are some of the best friends I have ever been lucky enough to achieve. As I said before, you are the future of this team. I cannot wait to see all the amazing things you will do. You are beautiful girls, inside and out, and I am so unbelievably happy and proud to call you my teammates and my friends. Never lose your spirits.
Tous: I haven't known you very long, but you have changed my life. You can always make me smile, even on my worst days. You are a great listener who never judges me. You laugh at all my jokes and you never cease to make me feel pretty, just the way I am. You build my confidence every time I'm around you, and I think you are an amazing person. Never let anyone tell you any differently.
Ryan: How lucky am I that you are dating my roommate. You are so unbelievably funny and kind, and Amanda is so lucky to have you. I am honored to serve as your third wheel, and I love having you around. You brighten up our apartment every time you come to town. You are more than simply my roommate's boyfriend; you are my friend. You are a wonderful person and I am extremely fortunate to have met you.
Alyssa: We got so close so fast, and I'm so happy we did. I love our walks and coffee breaks and all the awesome adventures we have gone on- I hope there are many more to make! Whether sober or not, I never cease to have fun when I'm with you. You are utterly fantastic and I love your beautiful spirit. I wish you nothing but happiness, and I cannot wait to see what adventures await us. I love you!
Mataya: I have been trying so hard to force my friendship on you, and I am confident enough to say I have succeeded! I think you are just such an awesome person, and you are so darn beautiful, it makes me so jealous (in a good way). I hope that we can get to know each other better in the future, but I enjoy spending time with you on and off the rugby field. As your new third wheel, let me know if you ever need me to take care of… something. You are so fun to be around and I would love to hang out with you more.
Brycestefer: Okay, I have no idea how to spell that, so that's what we will go with. I need to start by saying that you definitely lucked out in the woman department, so don't you dare mess that up! You have a very unique personality that I enjoy being around. You make me smile and laugh more than most with your sarcasm. I especially enjoy the way we can make fun of each other, without getting mad at each other. I'm glad I forced my friendship on you, because you did so much for me when I was going through my boy troubles. Thank you for listening to me and for always being honest with me. I owe you so much for that, and I will never be able to thank you enough. Thank you for being my friend, despite how annoying I can be.
Kienan: Our friendship has never been easy, but I have enjoyed it all the same. You know me better than almost anyone else, and I have so much to be grateful for when it comes to you. More than anything, thank you for always being there for me. Words will never describe how much you mean to me and how much I appreciate you. There is so much more I could say, but I'll just leave it at this- I don't know what I'll do when you move away, but you have been a huge part of my life that I will never forget. I wish you the best, and I hope this life gives you everything you want.
Crystal: or should I say Crustal? Girl, I don't even know where to start. You are one of the funniest, nicest, coolest, smartest, most talented people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I loved living with you, nerding out with you, and making so many awesome memories with you. I wish you could come visit more, because we always have the best times with you. You never cease to highlight my life, especially where Harry Potter is concerned. I love you so much and I hope to continue to make more memories with you, ya Birch! You are so creative, intelligent, and talented. Because I have met you, I am changed for good. You are fantastic and a thousand other good things. Love you!
Payton: PAY PAY!!! You understand me in ways no one else does, especially when it comes to the single life and not liking the touching. From Carl to Spongebob, I always smile when I'm with you. You are one of the best people this world has to offer, and I wish I got to spend more time with you. You deserve the best this world has to offer. It takes an extraordinary person to be so selfless, funny, and compassionate, but that's what makes you extraordinary. Your inner beauty shines just as bright as your outer beauty, and I am honored to call you my friend. Payton come home!!! Never stop being amazing.
Grady: You are like the older brother I lost. Thank you for always looking out for me, especially where alcohol is concerned, for being there for me, but also for matching my sarcasm on every level. You make me laugh harder than I thought possible, and your relationship with Michaela has taught me what a truly perfect (at least to me) relationship looks like. Thank you so much for all you have done for me. I don't know what I'd do without you in my corner. Words cannot express how grateful I am for everything you have done. Thank you for continuing to be my friend, despite everything I put you through.
Maka: You are so unbelievably wonderful. Not only are you one of the funniest people I've ever met, but you are so beautiful and compassionate. I can talk to you about anything, and can always count on you to be honest with love. You have helped me through some tough stuff, and you never fail to brighten my day. Maquila is one of my favorite people to party with, but Michaela is one of my best friends. I am honored to call you my friend, and I am forever grateful for the friendship I have with you. Never let anything dull your personality. I wish you the best with lots of cats.
Jordan: I don't think there is anyone in the world that comes close to you. It's wonderful to have someone on my weirdness level. After all the time I spent forcing my friendship on you, you have finally admitted that I am in your top three. You may have been drunk when you said it, but I'm taking it. You make me smile wider and laugh harder than anyone else in this world. I am so thankful for our crazy, weird friendship. Whether I am sending you hawks, redoing your calendar, stealing your booze and hats, or helping you plan our life on a schoolie, many of my best memories of this past year are spent with you. I'm so happy to call you my friend, and I am so lucky to have you in my life. I'm dreading the day when you leave, because I'll be lost. I hope your personality never dulls and your hair keeps its amazing flow. I hope you get everything you desire in this world, even if it is a school bus. Keep being the amazingly wonderful person you are.
Keaton: You are the craziest person I have ever met, and I love every second of it. You make me laugh until I can't breathe. I have some of the best memories ever in college with you. From hanging in the study rooms to calling me mom to pouring pop on me, I have some of the best stories to share with you in them. I love how much crap we give each other, and I love that you never sugarcoat anything for me. I hope your wild spirit never calms, and I hope you never lose your amazing, fun-filled personality. Never change, or I'll send you to live with your dad. I love you so much, and I can't wait for you, Kelsey, and me to start the rest of our lives together.
Liz: I can't believe how fast we got this close. You are so beautiful, inside and out, and I love you so much. We always have so much fun together, but you are also a great listener, especially when I need a shoulder to cry on. Even though I was ankle deep in a bad situation with a boy, you always supported me and all my decisions. You never judged me for them, and words can't say how much I appreciate that. You have one of the most beautiful personalities in the world, and I hope you never lose that. You are so outgoing, fun, and just all around amazing. I am so jealous of how easy it is for you to talk to people, but that is part of what makes you so awesome. I'm so glad to call you my roommate and even happier to call you my friend. I love you so much, especially on Wednesdays.
Amanda: I often wonder what would have happened if I had never come over for dinner all that time ago. That was one of the best decisions of my life. You opened me up to friendships, countless laughs, and an infinite amount of memories. When we cook together, laugh together, talk together, or anything else, I consider it an honor to call you my roommate as well as my friend. I know living with me isn't always easy, so I appreciate that you have been able to do it for so long. I hope you have a life filled with happiness, because you deserve it. You have a beautiful face and an even more beautiful personality. You have played a huge part into shaping me into the person I am. Thank you for listening to me, for understanding my anxiety, for being patient with me, for laughing with me, and for a thousand other things. Becoming friends with you has been one of the best parts of my life. Thank you for all you do. I love you more than words can say. Thank you for being you.
Kelsey: There will never be enough words to describe how much I appreciate you, and I know a lot of words. You have put up with more from me than anyone else, but yet you remain my best friend. I honestly don't know how you do it. You are the best person I know, and the world needs more people like you. You are unbelievably amazing, and I am so gracious to be your friend. I love you so much, and I'm so glad you have never given up on me. I know that being my friend has been hard on you, but you have done it with grace. I could go on forever on what you mean to me, but there isn't enough time in the world for that. You are so unbelievably spectacular, and I hope I never lose you. You are a huge part of my world, and you have brightened my life. Thank you so much for being you.
To all my friends, listed here or not, you are my world. I don't know how I would function without you. I appreciate everything you do for me, and I will never stop trying to make everything up to you. I would do anything for you guys. You all make my life so much brighter than I thought possible. I am so lucky to have you all in my life. Thank you all for being a bright part of my world. I love you all more than you will ever know, but I will never stop trying to show you how much I appreciate all of you.

Welcome to another What I Ate Wednesday! I like posting these to share meal ideas/recipes I've tried. To get an idea of what I eat in a day as a vegan, keep reading! I also avoid gluten and oil, so all of these meals are gluten and oil free.
I have a bit of a hobby lately–making breakfasts that taste like desserts. 🙂 This time I made my Peanut Butter Cup Overnight Oats, which is quick and easy to make and so tasty!
For lunch I had a huge salad with green and red leaf lettuce, quinoa taco meat from Minimalist Baker, beans, pico, avocado, and nooch. The taco meat was good but took a while to make, but I had leftovers for a few days so it was worth it. Also, I omitted the oil from the recipe, but it still came out great. Yay for hearty, healthy salads!
For dinner I made gluten-free brown rice pasta spirals with a cauliflower and white bean-based Alfredo sauce. It didn't taste exactly like traditional Alfredo, but it was still really good and full of fiber and nutrients. If you're interested in the recipe, let me know in the comments. I also sauteed some onions, mushrooms, red peppers, and sun dried tomatoes in water and served everything over baby spinach. And of course I had to top it all with crushed red pepper and vegan parm!
As per usual, I had popcorn with nooch as a snack in the evening and also some dried mango.
*I also take a b12 supplement since as a vegan I don't get it from food.
Did you make any yummy vegan meals this week? Let me know in the comments!

By Chris Wright
While virtually unknown the rest of the world over, Emmanuel Sanon was and is a true footballing icon in his homeland of Haiti – being, as he is, the only Haitian player to have scored at a World Cup during their one and only appearance at the tournament in 1974.
After having beaten the likes of Puerto Rico to qualify, Haiti (the first Caribbean nation ever to make it to the World Cup) were drawn into a hellish group alongside Italy, Argentina and Poland. They didn't have a prayer.
However, that didn't stop them from going ahead against the Azzurri (who were unbeaten in 19 games coming into the World Cup) in their opening game when Sanon charged down a through-ball, rounded the nigh-on unbeatable Dino Zoff and put his country 1-0 against the great Italians…
Sanon's goal also brought to an end Zoff's enviable record (which still stands) of going 1,142 minutes without conceding an international goal.
It mattered little that Italy went on to win 3-1, as Sanon had already reached immortality as far as Haitian and Caribbean football was concerned.
That he also went on to score in Haiti's 4-1 defeat to Argentina just further ascended his legendary status.
Having also lost 7-0 to Poland, Haiti crashed out at the first hurdle as expected but, despite finding themselves on the end of three pannings, Les Grenadiers left with their heads held high.
Sadly, Sanon passed away in 2008 after succumbing to pancreatic cancer at the age of 56. As a token of their appreciation, the Haitian government granted his family a perpetual posthumous pension.
Thousands of grateful fans filled the Sylvio Cator stadium in Port-au-Prince to pay their respects…
A couple of years later the $37million Emmanuel Sanon Soccer Park was opened on the island, to give young athletes and footballers a place to hone their skills as well as provide them with mentoring and leadership in a bid to help curb gang activity in Little Haiti.
His legacy lives on.

This document refers to NGINX® functionality when you install the
ea-nginxpackage in WHM's EasyApache 4 interface (WHM >> Home >> Software >> EasyApache 4). This package is our production version of NGINX. For information about our previous, experimental version of NGINX, now our
ea-nginx-standalonepackage, read our NGINX Standalone documentation.
This feature is not currently compatible with LiteSpeed.
This document explains how to install NGINX with Reverse Proxy on a server that runs cPanel & WHM and EasyApache 4. This version of NGINX uses caching in order to serve content more quickly.
NGINX is an open source web server that also provides a reverse proxy, load balancing, and caching. cPanel & WHM's NGINX with Reverse Proxy passes dynamic content through a proxy to Apache®.
To install NGINX on your server, you must meet the following requirements:
Run EasyApache 4.
rootuser access to the server.
Install the
ea-ruby27-mod_passengerApache module. When you install the
ea-nginxpackage, the system will install this module and other necessary Ruby modules if they don't already exist.Note:
Phusion Passenger® functions the same in both NGINX and Apache.
Install the
mod_remoteipApache module. This module allows Apache to log the IP address correctly when you use NGINX as a reverse proxy.
NGINX takes the place of Apache as the primary web server. The installation will change Apache's default ports and assign those port numbers to NGINX.
For more information, read the NGINX configuration changes section below.
If you do not want to proxy all of your content through Apache, you can use our standalone version of NGINX.
cPanel & WHM's implementation of NGINX has the following limitations:
Your requests must use a domain name to send requests to NGINX reverse proxy with caching. IP-based requests may result in unexpected behavior.
If one of your domains matches a proxy domain, the system will warn you that it will ignore conflicting duplicate entries. This conflict may result in unexpected behavior.
If you use NGINX and ModSecurity® 2, your ModSecurity rules only apply when NGINX proxies the request to Apache.
For security reasons, NGINX will not serve any file with a name starting with
cPanel's Optimize Website interface (cPanel >> Home >> Software >> Optimize Website) will not affect NGINX.
If you create an alias, make certain that your path's location ends with a trailing slash (
/). If your path does not end with a
/, then your path is vulnerable to a path traversal exploit. For more information, read the NGINX Security Advisories documentation.
Install or uninstall NGINX
To install NGINX, use the EasyApache 4 interface, or run the following command on the command line as the
root user:
yum install ea-nginx
To uninstall NGINX, run the following command on the command line as the
root user:
yum erase ea-nginx
The NGINX installation
When you install cPanel & WHM's version of NGINX with Reverse Proxy, the installation process will change your server's Apache installation to use different ports. NGINX will proxy all requests to Apache.
The process will only change your Apache ports if your Apache configuration uses the default ports of
80 and
When you install NGINX, the installation process installs the
ea-ruby27-mod_passenger Apache module. This module is required.
NGINX configuration changes
When you install NGINX on your server, the installation process makes several changes to your system.
Most notably, the installation configures Apache to no longer act as the primary web server. Because of this, the NGINX installation will create proxies for Mailman and AutoSSL.
NGINX reverse proxies to Apache and caches all requests by default.
NGINX caches data on a per-user basis. The cache file is stored in the following location, where
type represents the type of caching, and
username represents the username:
NGINX with Reverse Proxy uses the type
proxy for the
proxy_pass directive. The cache directories use
700 permissions, restricted to the
nobody and
root users.
Configuration files
The system creates the
/etc/nginx/conf.d/ea-nginx.conf configuration file.
Custom configurations
Do not edit any of the files that NGINX owns. Changing these files may result in unexpected behavior.
If you create custom configuration files, you may change NGINX behavior in undesired ways. For example, if your custom block matches the PHP block, the server may serve the source code instead of PHP.
If you want to customize the server blocks for NGINX, create an include file that ends in
.conf in the appropriate location. A server block is the same thing as a virtual host in Apache.
For more information about server blocks, including examples, read NGINX's Server Block Examples documentation.
Do not use
cpanel- as the prefix for any custom files you create.
Global configuration
Place any global
.conf files that you create in the
/etc/nginx/conf.d/ directory.
If you want to adjust every server block on your server, create your
.conf file in the
/etc/nginx/conf.d/server-includes/ directory.
.conf file with an
include directive in the file that you want to use it in.
User configuration
In the following examples,
username represents the username, and
domainname represents the fully-qualified domain name.
This fully-qualified domain name must be one of the following:
The server block's main domain.
The server block's subdomain for addon domains and their subdomains.
The server block's subdomain for subdomains that are not addon domains.
To customize every server block that a user owns, create your
.conf file in following directory:
To customize a specific server block for a specific domain, create your
.conf file in the following directory:
Apache configuration
The NGINX installation makes the following changes to your Apache configuration:
Changes the Apache port to the first available port under
1024. This will usually be port
Changes the Apache SSL port to the first available port under
1024. This will usually be port
444.Note:Your Apache ports will only change if your configuration uses the default ports
443. The installation ignores custom port numbers.
Adds the following to the
1 2 3 4 5 6
map $host $CPANEL_APACHE_PROXY_IP { default 127.0.0.1; } map $host $CPANEL_APACHE_PROXY_PORT { default 81; }
File access
NGINX does not serve files that start with
.ht by default. There may be other files that you want to restrict access to.
The easiest solution is to not include restricted-access files in the document root. However, if this is not possible, you can also explicitly restrict access to files.
For example, if you serve your website from a git repository, you may want to prevent access to the site's
.git directory. To do this, create a
.conf file in the appropriate location and add the following commands to your file:
After you save the file, reload your server to activate the configuration change.
For more information, read the NGINX Location Priority documentation.
The NGINX installation will detect if a domain uses CloudFlare and configure the system to work properly.
The system saves the CloudFlare configuration to the following location:
If your secure connections don't appear in the SSL log, you can change the SSL settings in CloudFlare.
Log Files
NGINX rotates logs with the
logrotate utility. This means that WHM's cPanel Log Rotation Configuration interface (WHM >> Home >> Service Configuration >> cPanel Log Rotation Configuration) will not affect the NGINX log rotation. This activity will register in your user stats and bandwidth programs.
NGINX uses the cPanel & WHM default Apache log formats. It will not recognize any custom Apache log formats. You cannot manage NGINX logs in any interfaces that specifically displays Apache logs, such as WHM's Log Rotation interface (WHM >> Home >> Service Configuration >> Log Rotation).
Apache does not log any requests that NGINX proxies to it. These requests are only logged by NGINX.
- The
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/runweblogsscript does not process logs for NGINX.
- The following interfaces do not work with NGINX:
- cPanel's Visitors interface (cPanel >> Home >> Metrics >> Visitors)
- cPanel's Errors interface (cPanel >> Home >> Metrics >> Errors)
- cPanel's Raw Access interface (cPanel >> Home >> Metrics >> Raw Access)
NGINX logs traffic for the
www subdomain to the same location as non-
www subdomains, which duplicates the Apache behavior. For example, it will log requests for
www.example.com and
example.com to the
/var/log/nginx/domains/example.com file.
NGINX uses the same server block for both SSL and non-SSL requests. However, it handles requests differently depending on if you use piped logging or not.
Piped logging
NGINX saves its log files to the following locations, where
domainname represents the domain name:
- Non-SSL —
- Bandwidth —
NGINX also logs requests to the following location:
Regular logging
Without piped logging, both SSL and non-SSL requests save to the same location. NGINX saves its log files to the following locations, where
domainname represents the domain name:
- SSL and non-SSL —
/var/log/nginx/domains/domainnameNote:These files will also contain an extra column at the beginning, in
- Bandwidth —
Run NGINX
To stop or restart NGINX, use the
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_nginx script.
We strongly recommend that you only use the cPanel script or WHM's Service Manager interface (WHM >> Home >> Service Configuration >> Service Manager) to restart NGINX.
To use the restart commands in CentOS 7 to restart NGINX, you must use the
reload option. This option ensures a graceful restart:
systemctl reload nginx.service
For more information, read our How to Restart Services documentation.
Configure a user
The system integrates NGINX into your user and domain changes.
The system uses the
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/ea-nginx script to make these changes. You do not need to run this script.
The system creates the
.conf file in the following location, where
username represents the username:
Configure an application
In cPanel & WHM version 90 and later, you can use cPanel's Application Manager interface (Home >> cPanel >> Software >> Application Manager) to configure applications.
In previous version of cPanel & WHM, you must run the
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/ea-nginx script to update your configuration and restart the server.
Third-party integration
Third-party integrators can use the following information to determine if NGINX caching is active. You can only use caching if you install the
ea-nginx package. We also display the caching status in the NGINX Caching section of the cPanel Interface.
If the
/etc/nginx/ea-nginx/cache.json file exists, then the
ea-nginx package is installed on the server. You can determine if caching is enabled or disabled based on the following information:
- If the
enabledkey exists in the following file, its value determines if NGINX caching is enabled. In this example,
userrepresents the username:
- If the
enabledkey exists in the following global configuration file, its value determines if NGINX caching is enabled. In this example,
userrepresents the username:
- If the
enabledkey does not exist in either file, then caching is enabled by default.
If the
/etc/nginx/ea-nginx/cache.json file does not exists, then
ea-nginx is not installed on the server.
If the
/etc/nginx/ea-nginx/enable.standalone file exists, the
ea-nginx-standalone package is installed, and caching is not enabled on the server.
Could not build the server_names_hash
You may receive an error that resembles the following message:
If you receive this error message, increase the value of the following directives in the
/etc/nginx/conf.d/ea-nginx.conf and the
/etc/nginx/ea-nginx/settings.json files:
For more information, read the NGINX Server Names documentation.
NGINX will not restart
If you used the
nginx command to start NGINX, then the
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_nginx and
systemctl restart nginx.service commands will not work. To correct this, perform the following steps:
Stop the service with the
/usr/sbin/nginx -s stopcommand.
Restart NGINX with one of the following commands:
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/restartsrv_nginx start
systemctl start nginx.service
/etc/init.d/nginx start

What is Website Design?
No one seriously denies the importance of Web Design in a marketing campaign or as part of a branding effort. However, not many people understands the reason behind this.
Web Designs means the planning of how a website will look, feel and be used. This includes the aesthetic aspects such as layout, color contrast, font choice and sizing, consistency and unity. It also encompasses all navigational aspects and how information will be presented to the end user. It comes as one of the leading factors that can make or break your campaign before people even read a single line or even take a look at a product.
Does your Business Need Expert Web Designers?
The process of earning the trust of your customers starts with the impression they get when they visit your website for the first time. 94% of people tend to not trust a website with poor website design. Anything that looks outdated, too busy, or just boring, will discourage your visitors from even reading what your company has to offer. That is why your company needs expert website designers. Over The Top SEO not only helps you rank higher in SERPs. We also make sure your visitors arrive to visually stunning and easy to navigate landing pages that guarantee high conversion rates.
Web designers take care of the navigation aspects of your website. Efficient and understandable navigation bars and lists make it easy for visitors to travel through your entire website and provide a clear conversion path.
Other elements come into play during the design phase. A good designer has to take brand colors, logos, imagery and even catchphrases. This is called Brand Consistency and has a lot of weight during a solid marketing campaign. Also, readability is crucial if you want your content to be read and interiorized by your visitors. A piece of text that is difficult to read or looks boring, will never be read.
What is Web Development?
It is a code intensive activity focused on making the design come to life. A good web developer takes the sketches made by designers, and turn them into dynamic and functional websites.
Web designers create static pictures for layouts, buttons and sliders. Web developers make those elements actually work.
Do you need dedicated Website Designers?
While many SEO agencies offer web design/developer hybrids, any serious marketing campaign should have dedicated departments for these activities. Ultimately, you need a website that works seamlessly both for your customers and for you. A website should be responsive, have fast load times, be completely SEO optimized and have perfectly running servers and databases. All that can only be achieved by expert programmers and developers focused on making sure your website is running smoothly 24/7-
Content Creation and Managing
When visitors arrive to a website that does not spark feelings of mistrust. Then content becomes the main focus of their attention. 83% of people trust websites because of what they read. This is not a trivial number as conversion depends a lot on the trust your customers place in you as a brand. There is a reason why content is king in marketing. Without good content, your marketing efforts are doomed to fail. Your website and your products deserve content that compels people to keep reading, share and consume.
What is Content Creation?
Content creation is the part of your marketing strategy that focuses on creating valuable, relevant, consistent and engaging information about a product or service. It takes many elements into account like target audience, current social media trends, keyword research, and rich and actionable language.
Do I need Content Creators?
People who perform searches on the internet are always looking for straight answers to whatever it is that they are wondering right now. Search engines are aware of this and try to reward those websites who provide relevant, original and rich content for their customers. Having a top notch content creation team on your side is the best way to guarantee a spot on the first pages of search results.
But there are more to it than just ranking. Well written and engaging content will also prove your visitors that your business is one to be trusted. Content should not only be used to advertise but to engage and build a solid communication relationship with your customers and visitors.
That is why content creation is linked inextricably with conversion optimization. The better the content, the more you will be able to convince people to act. Moreover, content is also deeply linked to web design as both should work together to make sure all the effort put into your marketing campaign bears fruit.
Content Management Systems
This is where all three elements of web design and development come together. Businessmen and managers focus more on running their companies than in the technical aspects of running a website. Content management systems are created by developers to give clients full control over their documents, databases, design and content publishing in their websites.
Do I need a Content Management System?
After a marketing campaign that has required extensive web and content development is implemented, a client might want to be able to edit and add content at will without depending on extensive coding knowledge. Our developers will set up a content management system for you so you can perform simple but important actions such as product and services additions, blog posting, and general page tweaking. All these additions will carry the same general design and content elements so they retain the brand image and SEO optimization as the rest of your website.
This is perfect for those who want both extensive assistance and flexibility.

The searches were endless on Wednesday coming into the Gambling911.com website, all from countries outside the US, all trying to find information on Full Tilt Poker:
"Is There a Problem With Full Tilt Poker?"
"Problems With FullTiltPoker"
"Is My Money in Full Tilt Poker Gone"
"Full Tilt European Players"
"Full Tilt Poker Canada News Update"
"Full Tilt Poker License"
"Full Tilt Poker How Long Will it be Down for Maintenance"
The vast majority of online poker players simply do not visit websites like TwoPlusTwo.com and not even news sites like Gambling911.com. A large percentage of readers find G911 through search inquiries.
Many customers of Full Tilt Poker appeared completely oblivious of what had transpired earlier in the day and it did not appear the European mainstream press was covering the situation much either.
William Hill is the biggest bookmaker in the UK and in business since 1932. They don't get much more established than that. Check out their online poker room. Part of the iPoker Network (4th largest)
Full Tilt Poker had its license yanked by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission around Noon London time Wednesday. The site was not operational throughout the day and it was unclear whether the company, indicted by the US Justice Department on April 15 and considered a "deadbeat" by US players waiting over 2 months for payouts, would relocate elsewhere.
Even a relocation might not be enough. Full Tilt Poker, under intense scrutiny by the US Justice Department, will have a tough time finding new processors. On Wednesday, Moneybookers announced it had severed ties with what has been the second largest Internet poker room in the world.
The AGCC said in a statement this morning: "The decision to suspend these licenses follows a special investigation prompted by the indictments unsealed by US Attorney General's Office in the Southern District of New York on 15thApril 2011, during which grounds were found to indicate that these licensees and their business associates were operating contrary to Alderney legislation."
There has been plenty of speculation over these past two months over what will become of FTP and none of it looks good as the company appears to have liquidity problems.
Another interesting search coming into the Gambling911.com site:
"Michele Clayborne"
Ms. Clayborne is Full Tilt Poker's "consultant" who was in charge of overseeing all those Full Tilt Poker pros, none of whom have a place to play now and there are questions as to whether Clayborne will still be employed in the coming weeks.
Her name has been all over the Net after she was caught assuming the identity of a once popular former employee of Full Tilt who regularly communicated with customers on boards like TwoPlusTwo among others.
Her/His constant reassurances of "good news is coming soon" never quite materialized.
Clayborne has been called upon in recent weeks to "do Full Tilt Poker's dirty work". In the past, she has lashed out at sites like Gambling911.com, demanding it remove content about the company. Gambling911.com refused of course.

אל סלבדור חוקית ביטקוין
Three months after the adoption of the law on the legalization of Bitcoin as a means of payment in El Salvador came into force. The country's president said they were "making history," while the opposition ridiculed the current government's move, accusing it of budget spending due to inappropriate monetary policy.
Bitcoin has received official legal tender status in El Salvador. The authorities passed the final verdict on this process on July 9, having voted for it by an overwhelming majority 62 votes against 19. The use of Bitcoins comes into equal rights with the American dollar circulating in the country since 2001. Goods, services, and even taxes now all can be paid in the equivalent of the main cryptocurrency on the market.
Of course, like most controversial laws, this one also did not go without criticism. A certain part of the citizens of El Salvador considered it inappropriate to receive pensions and other social payments in Bitcoins, therefore they regularly protest on the streets of the capital with slogans against the introduction of a new asset class. Other Salvadorans seek to show what the protests look like by attaching a comparison of the "journalistic" and "real" scale of what is happening.
Even before the law came into force, on September 6, Bukele said that the authorities bought 200 BTC, and after a while, they replenished their stocks by another 200 BTC. The acquisition is part of the country's $150 million Bitcoin trust, formed to facilitate the exchange between the new asset class and the already familiar US dollars for many Salvadorans.
Bukele confirmed that the integration of Bitcoins into the monetary system does not provide for their mandatory use. According to him, if someone wants to continue carrying cash with them without receiving bonuses, paying exorbitant fees for money transfers, and not drawing the attention of new customers to their business he or she has every right to do so.
While the country's President Nayib Bukele rejoiced at the victory, the opposition was quick to point out to him the unnecessary spending of $10 million. Bukele, in turn, noted that during the reign of the opposition bloc from 1989 to 2009, there was massive embezzlement of budget funds. His expenses amounted to less than 0.03% of the losses of El Salvador over the 20 years of the opposition.
The crypto community actively supported the El Salvadorian authorities in their decision, urging everyone to spend 30 to buy Bitcoins as a symbolic investment and proof of the power of the main cryptocurrency on the market. The flash mob was joined by such iconic community members as the head of MicroStrategy.
Against the background of the legalization of Bitcoin, many organizations have also divided into several camps. Thus, Bank of America noted that the transition to cryptocurrency will indeed simplify the implementation of money transfers, digitize financial activities, expand the choice for consumers, and also open the country to many foreign capitals. While the International Monetary Fund called Bitcoin "a bad idea for the country," JPMorgan suggested that the country's economy could face a "headwind," implying various financial constraints if the country did adopt Bitcoin.

OPI released the promotional materials for their new spring collection recently and I have to say I am kind of excited. Spring collections usually aren't something I get really pumped about because I typically love darker colors and glitters. I normally get excited over fall and winter collections because the dark creme shades and festive glitters are what make up the majority of my collection. And to be honest, I didn't get a single polish from last springs OPI collection, OPI Texas. But this spring will be different because I am really pleasantly surprised with some of these colors. It seems like OPI took a cue from the Zoya "Smoke" and "Mirrors" collection because a lot of these polishes have similar finishes.
Here is a break down of the colors. There seems to be 5 creme shades and 7 shades that have a microshimmer. Anything in italics is from OPI describing the color and everything underneath the italics is my opinion on the color. But I haven't seen the colors in person or swatches off other blogs, this is all from the promotional materials and what I've read off other blogs so I may change my opinion closer to the release date.
Red Lights Ahead…Where? – this coral-packed red is the hottest in the district
This color is described as a coral but it seems more reddish pink from the promotional picture. Not exactly my type of color, but I've been to Amsterdam and the red light district before and this color is almost exactly the same as the red lights. After reading the name it immediately took me back to the red light district, so I think its incredibly appropriate for this creme shade.
A Roll In The Hague – take advantage of this frisky little orange.
This color seems like a true dark orange creme. It reminds me more of a pumpkin type color, but that could be because I'm writing this post in the beginning of November and pumpkins are still on my mind.
Vampsterdam – a deep purple for a divine diva.
Ok, I love this name! The name is so appropriate for this collection and a dark color. Although a dark purple doesn't seem like a "spring" color but I wear dark colors all year round. And maybe because they are releasing this collection in February it is still appropriate. Where I live, February is the darkest, coldest and snowiest month and this is the exact type of color that I live in during the month of February. This color also has a little bit of shimmer, very reminiscent of OPI "Lincoln Park after Midnight".
Thanks a Windmillion – you totally deserve this breezy sea green.
This creme seems to be the baby for OPI "Mermaids Tears" and OPI "Stranger Tides" with a little more grey and maybe a tad bit darker. Ok, maybe more of a cousin to those two colors. Its a very trendy color, so I feel like I already have this color in my collection. But regardless, I really like this color and I can't wait to see it in person because its climbing to the top of my wishlist already.
Did You 'ear About Van Gogh? Rumour has it this sandy bisque is a work of art
This color seems very very similar to OPI "Skull and Glossbones" from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection. This creme shade is one of those colors that people either love or hate. I loved this color a year and a half ago but now I won't even touch any of my light taupe grey colors. All those greige colors that were so big over a year ago seem so played out now. But there are people who can still rock this colors and companies wouldn't continue to make them if they weren't best sellers. Just because this isn't my cup of tea doesn't mean that it the majority of the public won't love it.
Kiss Me On My Tulips – a smooch-worthy shade of hot pink.
This isn't exactly my type of color, but it is an extremely popular color. This is exactly what my best friend loves to wear so although this creme shade isn't exactly my type of color, its really pretty. I love the name too, there needed to be something about tulips in this collection.
Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI? All of Holland hollers for this crowd-pleasing plum.
This is one of those colors that looks totally different on different blogs. When I was researching for this blog post I saw one blog that got 2 swatches and this was one of them. Click here to see that swatch so you can see what I mean. This color in person looks so similar to Zoya "Neeka" its unreal. Its a medium toned mauve-y purple with a ton of gold micro-shimmer. Since I have "Neeka" I won't be picking this up but I do want to see it in person.
I Don't Give A Rotterdam – this sassy steel-blue shimmer means business.
This is another color that looks totally different when swatched. Click here to see a swatch on a blog that I was fortunate to find. This is lighter medium toned blue, almost like a light denim blue with a ton of silver microshimmer. I really like the combination of lighter denim blues with silver but from the pictures I've seen of this color, it is similar to Zoya "Jo" except with a lot more shimmer. I love this color and how icy and shimmery it is and then the name just pushed me way over the edge!
I Have A Herring Problem – what's that you say? I need to "sea" this shimmery green-blue?
Green-blue? Really OPI? Even from the swatches I've seen online there is no way this can be classified as a green-blue. This is closer to a slate blue or maybe I'll give it a dark greyish-teal. But either way, this color is amazing! My type of color completely. This color has a gold microshimmer. Have you ever seen that combination? Slate blue with gold microshimmer? I never have and I'm so excited for this one to come out.
Pedal Faster Suzi – this pink lavender shimmer will have you "wheeling".
I love how OPI plays on words. Pedal like a flower petal and pedal as in bicycles. Holland is a big bicycle culture, they bike everywhere. So I love that this is a flower type color but plays on the bicycle culture of the country. This is a pinky lavender color that has a ton of silver shimmer in it. Although this isn't normally my type of color, I'm completely intrigued by it because it seems so soft and feminine.
Wooden Shoe Like To Know? it's no secret, everybody loves this shimmery chocolate brown.
This is the second spring that OPI has released a dark brown. This chocolate brown has a ton of coppery shimmer in it and looks really rich and saturated. Not exactly wooden shoe colored brown, but you had to throw in something about wooden shoes if you have a Holland collection.
Gouda Gouda Two Shoes – take a walk on the wild side with this robust rose.
Walk on the wild side with a rose? Come on OPI, you can't do anything wild with rose. In the other promotional materials I've seen this color appears more on the brown side than the rose side, but only swatches will tell.
Overall, I am really impressed. This spring collection seems a little different from the average pastel creme collections that are really typical with spring collections, but there are some classic spring shades. Its like the best of both worlds. I really liked Zoya "Smoke" and "Mirrors" and this collection seems like the spring alternative. It has the same microshimmer finish except in this collection there are silver and gold microfinishes. If you loved "Yara" or "Neeka" from that collection like I did, then this collection might be right up your alley.
I love the names! I've been to Holland before and every single name is completely appropriate and reminiscent of Holland. With every name I thought to myself I saw that in Holland or that isn't what I would name that color. The chocolate brown color is so pretty, but definitely shouldn't be named after the wooden shoes. Even though wooden shoes are quintessentially Dutch, they are typically a lot lighter and warmer toned wood. Tulips, Van Gogh, Red Lights, Windmills, all remind me of Holland and I love the names of this collection the most out of any collection.
On my wishlist I have Pedal Faster Suzi, I Have a Herring Problem, I Don't Give A Rotterdam, Thanks a Windmillion, and Wooden Shoe Like To Know. Possibly looking at Dutch Ya Just Love OPI but that seems really similar to Zoya "Neeka". But again, I need to see all these colors in real life before I get any of them. What I find with the OPI promotional materials, you can't tell what the colors are going to look like in real life.

Ram Ram ji,
Per the latest genetic findings, Jat community has been found to have genes that originated in 9 different geographical locations (spread as far as Serbia)
I have a Jat Sikh friend (Gill gotra) and another old Jat Sikh class fellow (Shekhon gotra) who have facial features that have unmistakable resemblance to central asian people.
We keep on hearing anecdotes from our elders that Jats came from Russia. We know that there is truth hidden in all these ancient folktales and family tales.
Came to find out today that Ukraine's former prosecutor general - Viktor Shokin - has a last name which is uncannily same as Shokeen gotra of Jats !
Keep on joining the dots folks and a picture will emerge. This information age will lead to answers that our souls have been yearning for.

In the past seven days, Bitcoin has been above $11,600, below $8,500 and is currently trading around $9,500. Panic or positivity amongst investors has swayed with the latest offerings from the Bitcoin news cycle, whether the stories be true, false or exaggerated.
Times change, stories come and go, the price goes up and down, but Bitcoin itself remains solid and secure. It is still the number one cryptocurrency and the only one that is truly decentralized. There is no founder pulling the strings or tossing up whether transactions should be reversible.
Bitcoin has proven its resilience through years of varied market conditions and it has survived despite attacks from within and without. No one controls Bitcoin and no one can control it. The same can not be said for other coins within the crypto space.
SegWit adoption is bringing cheaper transactions, the Lightning Network is bringing faster transactions and it's still early days in terms of supportive technological developments.
If you're on the Bitcoin roller coaster, hold on tight. For many, doing so has turned fear into exhilaration.

Lexus Continues Record Sales Pace
Lexus has achieved the highest January-May sales in the brand's history following its strongest May on record for local sales. So far this year, Lexus has delivered 3,838 vehicles – a gain of 3.4 per cent compared with the same period last year and ahead of the pace it set during its record sales year in 2016.
The overall result for the five months was elevated by unprecedented May sales for Lexus of 812 vehicles, an improvement of almost 5.9 per cent on May last year.
Lexus SUVs have led the way so far this year with an all-time high of 2,697 sales for the five months, an increase of 18.3 per cent over last year's equivalent period.
May sales of Lexus SUVs were also a record for the fifth month of a year at 602 vehicles, an improvement of 16.9 per cent on the same month last year.
Lexus chief executive Scott Thompson said the record sales pace for Lexus was a testament to the company's ability to produce and deliver vehicles that fulfilled the requirements of luxury buyers.
"Lexus is recognised as the industry leader in caring for its customers with the design appeal, performance, specification and pricing of its vehicles; this is what sets us apart from other luxury contenders," Mr Thompson said.
In 2018, customers have bought the luxury NX Line SUV in record numbers, setting a new benchmark for January-May sales of 1,655 vehicles – an increase of 22.1 per cent compared with the same stage in 2017.
NX sales in May of 383 vehicles, up 25.2 per cent on May 2017, represented its strongest sales month apart from June last year.
The LX Line of go-anywhere luxury SUVs is having its best year since 2008 with 160 sales. Its May tally of 55 vehicles was its best monthly result in a decade and followed the introduction of the twin-turbo diesel LX 450d in March.
Sales in 2018 of the RX mid-size luxury SUV have totalled 882 vehicles, up 14.8 per cent on the identical year-ago period.
In passenger-car sales, May-on-May sales for the Lexus RC coupe were up 11.1% while the latest month's results also included 10 examples of the all-new LS luxury flagship sedan.

THE YCEO: 25 customers get '10-times richer' in Fidelity Bank promo
All five lucky customers of the 5th draw had their coupon balance multiplied by ten, taking home a total of GHS 25, 000.00.
The 5th draw lucky winners are Haruna Bukari of Community 25 branch, Erica Brovi of Nkwakwa Post bank branch, Kyere Yeboah of Sunyani branch.
The rest are Larbika Ahmed Abbey of Accra Central Post bank branch and Daniel Kwaku Tetteh of Koforidua branch.
At a dinner held to announce the winners as well as show appreciation to customers in the Eastern region, the Deputy Managing Director of Fidelity Bank, Mr Julian Kingsley Opuni, said, in the five monthly draws, the bank has disbursed GHS 125, 000 to 25 customers.
- Julian Kingsley Opuni, Deputy Managing Director, Fidelity Bank
"When we launched this Promo, we promised to make our customers richer and we have so far fulfilled that promise. One thing that is certain is that all our customers who saved for this promotion; whether they won or not, are still winners in their own way because they have saved and these monies could be used to cater for other pressing needs when the time comes," Mr Opuni said.
Mr Opuni used the occasion to encourage all the winners and hopeful winners to continue saving with Fidelity Bank.
"If you have not participated nor won in any of the 5 monthly draws, there is no need to worry, you can participate in the grand draw in which the stakes are even higher. Three lucky customers of the Bank get to have their coupon balance multiplied by 10x10, with each winning a whooping GHS 50,000 totalling GHS 150,000.00," he said.
He further noted that Fidelity Bank is committed to supporting individuals and businesses to grow because the Bank acknowledges that it wouldn't be in business but for the success of its customers and businesses.
Fidelity's Deputy Managing Director noted that one of the key focal areas for Fidelity Bank is to simplify banking for its customers through digitization. In this light, the Bank has revamped its electronic banking suite of products which include the Fidelity Mobile App, Fidelity Online, Fidelity POS amongst others to offer its customers seamless banking.
Fidelity Bank launched its 10x Richer Promo in June 2017, to show appreciation and reward loyal customers as Fidelity Bank marked its 10th-anniversary celebrations.
New customers are required to open a current or savings account with a minimum deposit of GHS 500 or multiples of it. The money must stay in the account for a minimum of one month or more to qualify for the draw.
Existing customers are also required to top up existing account balances with GHS 500 or multiples of it. The new funds must also stay in the account for a minimum of one month or more to qualify.
