These can either be very useful ways to place a targeted treble or 4fold, or something to have fun with for as little as 10p where you have a chance of winning really big. If you're new to the coupons they can look a little confusing at first, but once you get your head around the basics then they will save you time and give you something to tackle over a coffee.
NB: Most coupons are also replicated online too by the individual bookmakers, so you can place the types of bets highlighted below on your PC or mobile device too.
Football Match Results Coupons
These are the most popular coupons, making it easy to place a bet on a single match or a double, treble or accumulator across a number of matches.
Each bookmaker has their own name for these coupons, but they usually work in the same way whoever you bet with. There will be a left hand column that lists all the matches you are able to bet on with this coupon, with the odds for the home win, draw and away win. There will then be anything from 1 to 3 other columns that have small 'tick boxes' in them on each line where a match is listed – these are labelled Home, Draw and Away. You use a pen to mark your selection(s) by putting a horizontal line in the middle of the box that corresponds to your choice. So if you expect Team A (playing at home) to beat Team B then you mark the 'Home' box on that match line.
If you are looking to select more than one match to build a double, treble or bigger then mark all of your selections in this way. There will also be an area on the right hand side of the coupon, or at the bottom, that you then use to select the type of bet you are doing (e.g. Single, Double, Treble, etc) as well as your stake.
NB: Be careful when you are filling in your coupon and double check everything before you get to the counter. Try not to complete it in a rush where possible, as that's how mistakes can be made. If there are any surprises or problems at the counter then the staff can help you find out what has gone wrong. Sometimes the stake might have been missed off, sometimes you might have put two selection in the same line by mistake. If you are expecting to be placing a £1 treble but the counter staff asks you for a different amount then there might be a mistake on the form. You don't have to pay more, you can cancel the bet and start again, don't worry or pay for a bet you don't want to place.
If all goes to plan then you will be given a receipt for the bet – these usually show you how much you will win if your selections come up. All of the matches and your choice of result will usually be shown on this receipt too, so you have something to check against when the results are in. If you have done some long accumulators then you can use a pen to tick off the results on your receipt; it doesn't have to be in pristine condition, just make sure the barcode can be still be scanned in the shop!
Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Coupons
These are a firm favourite in the TipTime office, and rarely a weekend goes by without one of these coupons getting filled in. They all have different names again, such as 'Goal Rush' at Ladbrokes, or 'Goals Galore' in BetFred, but the principle is the same…you're betting on goals being scored, not the results of matches.
With a name such as 'Both teams to score' it is fairly clear what you are betting on, and your choice is usually 'Yes' or 'No'. The odds are usually somewhere around Evens; often the 'Yes' is something like 5/6 and the 'No' might be 5/6 too if an evenly balanced game is expected or up to 11/10 if one team is very dominant on paper. You will never find odds much higher than 11/10 for a match for either 'Yes' or 'No', as it's football, and anything can happen. It only takes a penalty for a 6-0 drubbing to become 6-1 and BTTS 'Yes' pays out, so the bookmakers have to manage their risk. Some coupons, such as 'Goals Galore' in BetFred are only for the selection of games where you are backing both teams to score – there is no choice of 'Yes' or 'No', just, erm, 'Yes'!
Remember, you are not betting on a team to lose, but the likelihood of both teams managing to score a goal. So look for the teams that seem to concede but are also consistent at scoring at least one. Carlisle United are good at this, so too are teams such as Stevenage. There was a phase through the 2012/13 season where Manchester United were winning matches but often after going a goal down; the same can apply to Everton. These teams exist right through the leagues, so do some research and find out which teams look to be good up front but a bit leaky at the back and then balance that with who they are playing that day.
Our favourite part of these bets, when you build a decent accumulator across 5 or more matches, is that they last the full 90 minutes if you only pick 'Yes' options, so you can tick the matches off as they come good through a Saturday afternoon or Tuesday evening as the games are being played. If you have 'No' as a selection for a match then it can be a crushing disappointment when that game goes to 1-1 in the first 15 minutes and your coupon is dead. It's a personal thing, but keep that in mind if you are placing these bets for fun or to make watching results coming through more entertaining.
Keep a realistic view on these bets – if you have chosen 11 selections for your BTTS coupon then you have a very low chance of the bet coming off, so maybe avoid blowing all your stake money for the day on one of these. A 50p accumulator with 11 matches would return over £300, 12 matches way over £500, and so on, so if you are going to choose so many matches then keep the stakes small…it's a fun bet, not a banker, and they don't come up very often but it's lovely when they do!

Summer Camp is a group of seven friends (not pictured, presumably) from Dalarnas län, Sweden, who make timeless, doe-eyed lo-fi pop. I've received quite a few emails asking about these guys since playing their dreamy/sepia-toned, Heathers-sampling cover of "I Only Have Eyes for You" on my radio show earlier today, and it turns out their own stuff is pretty great in its own right. Grab the cover below, and take a listen to sweet new track "Why Don't You Stay" at the group's myspace page:

Spinnaker was a city on Naboo.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
Spinnaker was one of the planet Naboo's largest supply centers, with a nearby navy and Trader's Plaza. A small village was also nearby. In addition, a road linked Spinnaker with the Naboo capital, Theed. At least one Fortress protected the city.
History[edit | edit source]
In need of funds, Nute Gunray and the Trade Federation ordered OOM command battle droid OOM-9 to raise 10000 nova crystals by destroying Spinnaker's Spaceports. OOM-9 started off by attacking the Naboo village and claiming it for the Trade Federation. The villagers surrendered, and the village was theirs. Another droid, YIN-762, operated a nearby camp which OOM-9 traded with to gain more resources. Soon, OOM-9 invaded the city and the spaceports were destroyed. OOM-9 and forces then began on the road to Theed.
It was later freed by Boss Rugor Nass and the Gungan Grand Army prior to the Battle of Naboo. However, it was hardly recognizable due to the massive damage it had sustained from Trade Federation forces and was little more than burning ruins, far from its original glory.
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Spinnaker first appeared in the 2001 video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds during the Trade Federation and Gungan campaigns. The game's campaign was later included in its 2002 expansion, Clone Campaigns.
Appearances[edit | edit source]

The next episode in my podcast series "Bringing You Back Into Balance" is now online. In this podcast I focus on a very misunderstood emotion; that of anger. Many people believe anger to be inherently bad but did you know that it is a natural, healthy, intrinsically positive emotion? It just needs to be processed, managed and expressed in a safe and constructive way. I talk through the dangers of holding your anger in and of acting it out, and outline five ways …

Emotional overwhelm is something that brings many people to my practice. For them life has simply got out of control. There are too many people making too many demands … too much to do in too little time … too many expectations and not enough energy to deal with them all. The result is anxiety which, if left unchecked, leads to mental, emotional and physical breakdown. We all experience overwhelming feelings. I'm guessing you know what that's like. I certainly do. In fact, I used to get overwhelmed a lot. Nowadays, though, it's less the feeling of overwhelm that I deal with than the …

As human beings we are continually in relationship, all day and every day, for the whole of our lives. Sometimes it is with other living beings: humans and animals. Sometimes it's with inanimate objects - food, clothes, money - or ideas. There is one relationship, above all others, that is critical to our wellbeing. It is impossible to live a peaceful, healthy, happy life if this relationship is not monitored and managed adequately. The relationship to which I'm referring is the one we have with ourselves. Let me ask you a question. How do you habitually relate to yourself? …

It takes a lot for a person to seek support and, even more, to pay for it. We all do a great job of handling the issues in our lives by ourselves. Until, that is, it all gets too much and we reach crisis point; something happens that shakes us to the core and we discover that we simply can't deal with it anymore. I see this all the time in my practice. It is the life crises that bring people to the services that I offer…

Let me take you back to this morning and ask how you began your day. Did you have a calm, quiet and orderly start? Or, was it rushed, manic and frenzied? How we choose to spend the first minutes and hours of the day has a significant effect on all those that follow. What we do - and how we feel - sets the tone for the entire day. That has certainly been my experience. On an ideal day, I get out of bed at…

The inability to speak one's truth is a common cause of deep unhappiness. Not being able to communicate our wishes and needs to those around us in a firm, clear, polite way means that at best, our needs are not met and at worst, we are misunderstood, ignored, side-lined or simply walked all over. I often ask people if they speak their truth, and point out that it is important to do so if they are to…

Trader Joe's Organic Beef Sirloin Roast Reviews
Fully cooked and seasoned.
9 reviews for Trader Joe's Organic Beef Sirloin Roast Reviews
This is the absolute best thing I've ever purchased from Trader Joe's. People believed I had been slaving over it all day when really it only took 5 minutes in the microwave.
Maybe I received a bad one but the smell upon opening was unbearable. It was well within the use by date and kept refrigerated. As I write this the whole house reeks. Feeling lucky I decided to cook it and see if the smell would perhaps improve which it did somewhat. What emerged from the oven was a dried out lump. The taste indicates that it was probably safe but I couldn't get through two fork fulls before almost retching from the smell. It was quite expensive so I can't in good conscious recommend it and am sorry I bought it. Blecch.
I will be buying this again
It was wonderful juicy tender and tasted good I did not put it in the microwave though give it a five
I will purchase this product again ! I actually purchased a second one for my mother in law who loved it also.
Fully cooked to perfection and thinly sliced in it's juices it was great cold in a salad and in a sandwich warm with butternut squash. It is such a nice go to when you have a busy schedule.
Very good, warm or cold in a sandwich with lettuce and mayo. The slicing is a real plus!
Very good. Don't microwave it if you care at all
I like the taste. Today I found out that it is imported from Australia and processed in NJ. Why don't they say that on the package. TJ also tells me that it may contain antibiotics.
It do be good tho
Am eating it right now! I always enjoy it and sometimes have it with eggs in the morning. It's a great pick-me-up when I want a snack. I've always been pleased with the purchase and enjoyed it!

It was an interesting time at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Tuesday, as the trial of Senate President, Bukola Saraki, continued.
The first hint that today's session will be full of intrigues was when the prosecution counsel, Rotimi Jacobs remarked cross examination of the first prosecution witness should end today.
He had told the defence team to make sure that the cross-examination of the first prosecution witness, EFCC operative, Michael Wetkas must be concluded today.
But one of the defence counsels, Paul Elokoro, quickly countered that there was no law that backs Jacobs' request.
He said the prosecution team tendered a huge amount of exhibits against his client.
"We will take out time to analyse these documents. We will not be rushed. We will not be stampeded."
Again Jocab said the lawyer that started the cross examination should finish it rather than handing over to another lawyer.
He complained that the cross examination of Michael Wetkas, a principal witness, had taken much time because the defence team kept changing the lawyers examining the witness.
"The counsel that started cross examination should finish it. The witness cannot be cross-examined by three lawyers. My learned brother should conclude cross-examining the witness," he argued while requesting the tribunal to make the order.
"You can have several lawyers, but only one of them will address the court. That's why we have lead counsel. The lead counsel who has started the cross examination is bound to conclude the case.
"It is not an opportunity for six lawyers to cross examine one witness. Why I am raising this, is that we have already spent days on cross-examination. My lord should regulate the proceedings."
When the trial started, Kanu Agabi (SAN), Saraki's lead counsel, had the cross examination of the witness, after which Paul Usoro (SAN) took over.
But on Tuesday, Erokoro (SAN), one Saraki's lawyer, rose to cross examine the witness to which Jacobs objected.
"There is no law which supports my learned friend's request. Different counsel can cross examine a witness. If one counsel is tired another one can take over," Erokoro argued.
"The prosecution has also requested that will close our cross-examination today. That is absurd. We are going to take our time and do things properly. We will not be stampeded.
"We are ready to start cross-examination."
He said the law stipulates that witnesses should be cross examined by lawyers, not that it must be the lead counsel.
He added that Jacobs knows the law but deliberately tried to be mischievous.
Another lawyer from the defence counsel, William Atedze, drew Jacob's attention to the fact that Section 349 (7) of Administration of Criminal Justice Act did not say that the representative of a defence counsel doing the cross-examination must be the lead counsel.
Paul Usoro another defencecounsel said the question is more about if the defendant has the right to choose who should represent and cross-examine witnesses on his behalf.
The two lawyers have rested their arguments. Chairman of the Tribunal, Danladi Umar weighed the option of allowing another defence lawyer take over from another lawyer, whether Paul Usoro should be allowed to take over the cross examination of prosecution witness, Wetkas, or if Paul Ilokoro, who was earlier called upon to do so, should be the one to continue.
After a short break, the court ruled that it was the right of the defendant to defend himself of the charges against him.
Relying on relevant sections of the Constitution, Umar rules that the defence has the right to defend himself in the manner he wishes and should be given the right to carefully present his case.
"The Tribunal is bound to give the defendant all the opportunities he needs to defend himself," the Tribunal Chairman ruled in Saraki's favour.
Erokoro thereafter continued the cross examination of Wetkas.
Wetkas was asked if he had ever seen the original copy of the exhibits he presented before the tribunal.
Wetkas answered that the documents were with the CCB and that he was only furnished with other copies.
When the CCT chairman asked if he had ever seen the the original, he replied: "I now say I have seen the original"
Wetkas led the EFCC team of investigators who worked on Saraki's assets declaration forms.
Asked if he ever found out during the course of his investigation whether the exhibits had only one original or several original copies, Wetkas said all documents should have one original copy unless there are other issues involved.
The defence counsel raised a claim made by the prosecution witness that Saraki had ₦1.5bn in his account shortly before he became Kwara governor in 2003.The defence counsel offered him a calculator to add up the figures in Appendix 7A of Exhibit 1.
At this point, Jacobs, raised an objection that the witness does not need to calculate the figures he presented.
The defence counsel, Erokoro, responded, "My lord, as you can see, the documents were dumped for the press in order to scandalise my client. It is obvious they have no coherent figures to prove false assets declaration."
The chairman of the Tribunal asked Erokoro to proceed on his cross-examination.
Wetkas said the stamp was used to confirm the completion of assets verification documents after their investigation did not carry a date.
"The stamp has no date," he said.
Erokoro then turned to the court and said, "You heard him, the stamp has no date".
Erokoro later caused a stir when he said his client was richer than the Kwara government before he became governor.
But Jacobs chided him, saying being rich does not stop a thief from stealing.
During the cross examination, Wetkas admitted that the defendant was worth millions in dollars and pounds before he was governor.
He said this was based on the assets declared by Saraki at the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) when he was elected.
"You realised that the defendant was required to declare his assets, those of wife and children below age of 18? What do you see in the (asset declaration form) form?" Erokoro asked the witness.
"Yes. I can see N1.5bn in the defendant's account. And in the defendant's wife account, N1.5m in Ecobank," Wetkas answered.
"The defendant has some shares with African Petroleum worth N3, 645, 550.
"Cash amount of N1, 100: 000, in the name of Tosin Saraki and Seni Saraki.

To give every college football team a national championship shot, Matthew Sanderson, a U of U graduate who worked on Arizona Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, has formed the Playoff PAC. The federal political action committee is raising money to elect politicians opposed to the Bowl Championship Series to Congress in what may be the only realistic way to repair a system that often punishes success. As with the Utes in 2008, TCU could find themselves undefeated yet only playing for third place. Undefeated Boise State may be left out of the BCS bowls altogether—also like last year. On Saturday, Nov. 14, the Utes go to TCU, in a huge game for both teams. Then, on Friday, Nov. 20, Boise State will storm into Logan for a game televised on ESPN2. Reinforcing the BCS injustices is that the Aggies could actually gain more by losing, because a BCS trip for the Broncos could provide more than $1 million for schools in the Western Athletic Conference, which Utah State belongs to. Go ahead, Aggie fans, cheer for the Broncos and while you're at it, toss a few dollars Sanderson's way.
Attorney General Mark Shurtleff's withdrawal from the U.S. Senate race means a 2010 election with almost no drama. Shurtleff's challenge to Republican Sen. Bob Bennett seemed to make the incumbent sweat, something that no other challengers have done. There may be only one person who can make things fun in 2010: U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, the Twitter-happy, airport-security-fighting Republican. The time is right for him to challenge the incumbent senator. As an added bonus, a Chaffetz run for the Senate would also open up his House seat, which is in a district chock-full of, shall we say, interesting politicians.
The new executive director for the National Stonewall Democrats, Michael Mitchell, cut his teeth fighting for gay rights in Utah as the first executive director of Unity Utah (now Equality Utah). In 2004, he was a leading voice of opposition to the constitutional amendment that banned gay marriage despite a well-run campaign against it. He left Utah a few years ago to work with the American Civil Liberties Union gaymarriage initiative. Gay rights may be a long-time coming in Utah, but the inhospitable environment may provide the best training possible for aspiring activists.

Did You Know? 2 Must-See Videos to FLY Together
October 31, 2008 at 1:53 am 4 comments
My dad sent me this great video today. It makes you think. It motivates you, like @garyvee, to get off your butt and get moving. You may think that doing nothing only affects you. Tuning out is a choice. So, that can be your opinion. But, standing, means not helping others to fly.
No matter your political leanings, you must admit this quote is poetic. On NPR, a man talked about getting ready to vote for a president for the first time was being asked who he was voting for and why. He recalled this text message he received from a friend:
"Rosa sat, so Martin could walk. Martin walked, so Obama could run. And, Obama is running so our children can fly."
What if that could be you? What if your actions could empower others to succeed. Think about the power that ripple effect could have. Whether it's for Obama or McCain, Vote. Act. Do. No matter what, after the election, we will all need to keep moving, if not faster. Let's get busy, and let's FLY together. Just ask these guys:
*Don't quote me on the stats, as I'm still trying to find this video's source. But, it is powerful.

In power electronics, the accuracy with which electrical current is measured is not solely based on the selection of a suitable transducer. Level-shifting and intermediate scaling in the circuit between the microcontroller and the transducer can introduce offset and gain whilst, in closed-loop designs, the use of burden resistors can affect the accuracy of the current measurement.
The conversion of analog current measurement into a digitised format is another area in which accuracy can be compromised.
These factors often mean that the measuring device needs to operate over an expanded range. This range typically combines the normal operating range (of between 80% to 125% of the nominal current) and an additional 300% of the nominal current to provide protection against over-current events. The result of measuring this expanded range is that a limit is placed on the dynamic range which can be used for control.
Externalising over-current detection
The challenge of expanding the dynamic range can be addressed by using open-loop Hall-effect current transducers which use an ASIC-based approach to current detection. Figure 1 shows the placement of the ASIC in the gap in the core of an open-loop Hall-effect current transducer.
This construction enables techniques such as Hall-cell spinning, as shown in Figure 2, which is used to reduce offset. In addition, it also provides programmable sensitivity and over-current detection (OCD) as a separate, programmable output.
By externalising OCD, the transducer is freed from measuring the peaks which are required for protection and enables its full measuring range to be used to measure the application's dynamic operating range.
Typically, the OCD can be programmed to set trip thresholds of 250% or 300%; however the LEM HO series of open-loop Hall-effect current transducers allows a trip threshold of 570% of the nominal rating of the transducer. This means that the externalised OCD can detect currents which are higher than the transducer's rated measurement range, enabling a transducer rated at 8 A to be programmed for an OCD threshold of 45,6 A.
A further benefit of the OCD pin is that it can be used to replace a dedicated over-current detection crowbar circuit which usually consists of a comparator and a number of resistors. By eliminating these discrete components, the OCD pin offers the additional benefit of reducing component count and board space.
Expanding dynamic range measurement
ASIC-based current transducers are available in 5 V or 3,3 V versions. For 5 V transducers, the dynamic range is typically 0,625 V/nominal current. This allows for a bidirectional transducer, measuring AC, to have a zero current point of 2,5 V out.
Current in either direction of flow increases or decreases the output voltage of the transducer from the 2,5 V start point, or zero primary current. This means that for a 10 A application, where 10 A is equal to a 100% load, the transducer would have a nominal rating of 10 A and provide protection with a peak rating of 30 A.
However, with a rating of 0,625 V/10 A the sensitivity of a transducer such as the LEM HXS 10-NP/SP4 provides a 300% reading of 30 A which equates to a 4,375 V output.
The availability of 5 V or 3,3 V current transducers also minimises the need for level shifters or scaling between the transducer and the analog-to-digital converters which typically operate on a 5 V or 3,3 V supply.
Magnetic multiplication
A technique called 'magnetic multiplication' is used in transducer construction so that multiple wraps of conductor material are applied, in series, around bus bars inside the transducer. The conductor's magnetic fields are therefore defined by the number of wraps.
This is useful when the rating of the current transducer is higher than that of the application's primary current, because using more of the transducer's dynamic range helps to minimise offset and linearity errors. The following examples show how this works in an AC and a DC application.
Bidirectional AC measurement
With the OCD pin externalising the task of over-current detection, the transducer's entire dynamic range can be used for control. The example used in the previous 10 A application can also be applied to a 15 A transducer such as the LEM HO 15-NP.
The current is wrapped, in series, around three separate bus bars. With a rating of 125% at the upper end of the nominal range, a maximum current of 37,5 A.t would be achieved. At 100%, or 10 A duty, the transducer detects 30 A.t.
The original sensitivity of 53,33 mV/A for the LEM HO 15-NP will result in a sensitivity of 160 mV/A. This provides a sensitivity which is greater, by a factor of 2,56, compared to the 62,5 mV/A sensitivity of a standard transducer with a nominal 10 A rating.
The lower currents are lifted out of the noise floor, allowing more of the available dynamic range to be used. In this example of AC measurement, both sides of the 2,5 V zero current point are used by the application.
Unidirectional DC measurement
In a unidirectional DC application, the dynamic measuring range can be expanded significantly by using the reference voltage, Vref. Starting with a LEM HO 8-NP ASIC-based transducer, the primary current is wrapped three times, in series, to provide a maximum of 37,5 A.t, or 125% of the current's application.
When the Vref is pulled or programmed to 0,5 V, or 0 A, the application can use the transducer's full sensitivity of 100 mV/A. At 37,5 A.t, the peak voltage output is 4,250 V, giving a range of 3,75 V for an adjustment of 12,5 A or 300 mV/A. This means that a DC application which would typically have operated at 62,5 mV/A can now operate at 300 mV/A.
The combination of Vref shifting and the externalised OCD enables significantly finer current control. Take the example of a 5 V application operating with 12-bit resolution, in which a bit represents 1,22 mV. The output voltage range would be between 0,50 V and 4,250 V, with a current of 0 A to 12,5 A and a range of 3072 bits.
In a 10 A application, without Vref and OCD, the 0 to 12,5 A operating range would be represented by a voltage of 2,5 V to 3,28 V, with a range of 0,781 V which represents 640 bits. The Vref shifted/OCD method provides bit resolution of 4,1 mA or 19,5 mA without the ASIC-based features.
Typically, ASIC-based transducers at the lower-current end of the series, such as the LEM HO 8-NP, have a broader range available than higher-current versions. In contrast, the higher-current LEM HO 25-NP does not support such a broad range of measurement when the Vref is pulled to 0,50 V.
Thermal management
As an ambient temperature of 85°C could possibly result in desoldering of a transducer, the final design should be thoroughly checked for the operating temperature at the core, solder joint and bus bars.
When a smaller transducer is operating over the full dynamic range, the conductors will generate heat in the single-digit Watt range and the bus bars will have sub-mΩ resistance. However, when currents approach 150 A, even the 200 μΩ of the LEM HLSR 50-P will begin to generate 4,5 Watts.
The operating temperature range of ASIC-based transducers is typically rated at 105°C to 125°C. In ASIC-based transducers with integral bus bars, the maximum temperature of the bus bars may be slightly lower, at 120°C. Taking heat dissipation into account when designing the board layout enables the heat generated by the transducers to be managed.
To assist in heat dissipation, the PCB traces and copper surrounding the transducer pins should be maximised rather than minimised, to allow sufficient heat to be dissipated; air movement can also be considered as part of the thermal management of the design.
The benefits offered by ASIC-based transducers with OCD are not limited to enabling an expanded dynamic range. Transducers such as the LEM HO series can also help to reduce component count and, as a result, deliver higher reliability. They can also enable higher resolution from the analog-to-digital converter and improve the signal-to-noise ratio as well as providing higher sensitivity which increases the gain as the volts-per-amp increase.

For years, big companies have set the rules for which employees had to follow in order
to maintain their jobs. Discrimination for language barrier, race, color, age, disability
and more was nothing easy to fight against; until The American with Disabilities Act of
1990 (ADA) came into effect. Such an important law has brought many changes in all
directions within management, employees, hiring process, ergonomics, new job opening
as EEO or Human Resources specialist. These changes are not only seen at the work
place but at the educational level, as engineers learn to design a better and accessible
working place for the disabled. We will review some examples of how the ADA has
made it possible for employers and employees to understand and modify
misconceptions and how human resource managers to comply with laws and
regulations in this subject.
Workforce adapting to comply with the American with Disabilities Act of 1990
Society behaves in accordance to their values and experiences and for the majority
of us, we do not have to deal with a disabled person.
Yes in deed, we all know
someone in the family or a friend, but this group of people is a minority in our society. In
the early 1900's, as the industry became a major factor in our economy, the need for
more competent workers was created. The main directional (top to bottom) leadership
was to direct the workforce for many years to come. During this time, they selected
their employees as they wanted and the Constitution said very little about equality at
work. So they did, as they perceived. Eventually a more educated and aggressive
society was booming, and the laws concerning minorities were changing also. In 1990,
the Congress presented a new Act that changed forever the "old ways"...

Success Story of the Week – Myles Miyasato
I became a student and started learning the 101 System from my instructor Kahealani Kaaihili. In the past like probably about 90% of the residents in Hawaii, I was trying to make fast extra money with Amway, Telecommunication, ASEA water, pretty much every pyramid marketing scheme that came along.
After about 10 years of this I have come to terms that I am not a sales person. So when I met Kahealani I was skeptical and questioned her about this being just another pyramid.
Well, we did a worksheet of my income and my expenses then she told me that I could achieve my goal of financial freedom in 9 years.
For me the thing is, I was trying to make fast money to achieve financial freedom. Using my extra money to buy into these programs instead of making my extra money work for me and eliminating years of interest payments.
I started with my debts being a mortgage, car loan, and 2 credit cards I was looking at payments for the next 25 years.
I had established my Line Of Credit and my Rewards Credit Card, so Kahealani got me started with the 101 Financial System.
In our first class she showed me how we were going to pay off one of the credit cards that day, then start accelerated payments on the other card. I left that first class pretty excited and could not wait for the next class.
In about 4 months we paid off the second credit card and now we started our accelerated payments on the car loan. At this point the hardest thing is to be disciplined when I have the extra money.
But what Kahealani showed me in one of our classes was how to plan ahead and have the finances already factored into my program for vacations or any expenses that I could expect.
That is what allowed me to be comfortable to use this extra money for accelerated payments. Now I'm just about a year and a half into my program and I only have my mortgage to pay.
I am on track to accomplishing my financial freedom and amazingly it will be pretty close to the estimated time frame given to me at the start.
Thank you Kahealani.

We do like a nice, kitsch pink flamingo here at Retro To Go, so we're fully in favour of this Flamingo Fun Duvet Set from H&M.
The 100% cotton set features a repeat design of a pair of flamingos and the slogan "Pink Pacific". If you're looking to liven up your bedroom then this bed linen will provide the perfect pop of pastel colour and fun.
The set consists of a duvet cover and two pillowcases and is available in either a Double or King size, both of which are priced at £29.99. Take a closer look here.

Review details:
App version: 1.0.3
Device: Samsung S4 Mini
Operating system: 4.4.2
A promising but currently frustrating app which is let down by the visual experience and puzzle quality. Not as much fun as it should be.
My Chess Puzzles is a relatively new free android app from the Turkish developer OBSS Mobile which produces a range of mainly card games and utility apps.
It is a simple app and essentially does exactly 'what it says on the tin' – in that the user is given chess puzzles which need to be solved by finding a forced checkmate in a known chosen given number of moves.
There are options ranging from mate in 2 all the way to mate in 10. When selected, the user is then presented with a range of positions of that type which he/she must then play out against a virtual opponent to find the mate. The level of difficulty increases as the puzzles are solved. Scores are given out of a maximum of 10 for each solution depending on the number of mistakes (incorrect moves) made in finding the solution. The competitive user can rate themselves online against others using the Google Play Leaderboard system (not tested as part of this review).
Puzzle based apps live or die by the number and quality of the chess problems they offer. In particular:
- Is the bank of puzzles sufficiently large enough so you are not seeing the same ones cropping up over and over again?
- Do the puzzles feel 'natural' and not artificially composed?
- Are the puzzles of the right level of difficulty – not too hard to be dispiriting but hard enough to be a good challenge?
My Chess Puzzles scores well in terms of variety. The puzzle bank is vast – the developer claims (and I have no reason to doubt it) that there are at least 10,000 different puzzles. Certainly in my use to date, I've not seen any duplicates which can't be said for certain similar apps.
The app fares less in terms of puzzle 'naturalness'. This is disappointing as the developer states in the Play Store description that puzzles 'were either taken from actual games or are compositions inspired by actual games'. I can only wonder about which games these were. Rather too often the user is faced with a chess position with an unrealistic number of pieces of the same type – for instance four rooks of the same colour.
Sadly this also contributes to some of the solutions being rather artificial also for example in the following position (with the four rooks) the solution is .
1 – h8/Q+ Rf6
2 – Qf6+ Re5
3 – Qe5+ Rd4
4 – Qd4+ Rb2
5 – Qb2++
Yes, the difficulty is about right for a starter mate in 5 but the lack of realism makes for a less rewarding experience. Aside from this issue, the individual difficulty levels do seem to be generally well calibrated, becoming more challenging as the user progresses.
Presentation and useability
My Chess Puzzles is a simple app and very straightforward to use. However, this doesn't make it easy to use. One of the biggest drawbacks in practical use is the default piece set used. The pieces are not clear or easy to distinguish particularly when there are more than a few on the board. This makes the puzzles more difficult than they should be and certainly less enjoyable to solve. Worse still the user isn't given any choice about the piece set – only the default is available. The app would certainly be improved by giving the user some choice about the visual experience.
There is one further specific visual issue that can't be overlooked. The chess board is incorrectly displayed – the bottom right square should always be light coloured! Oddly this doesn't happen all the time or for all puzzles but sadly the fact it does, risks damaging the credibility of the app. My Chess Puzzles doesn't deserve this and the good news is that it should be easy to correct.
The app hasn't got, and doesn't really need a wide range of options. The key elements that might be expected are here – including take back move and hint options. There is also a toggle for sound effects (for piece moves) and for the less experienced user, a helpful legal move indicator, which shows visually which squares the chosen piece can move to.
Developer support
The developer has an easily accessible website which includes full contact details, in addition to the usual email address, there is a phone number and a physical address which may be useful if you happen to be visiting Istanbul (wish I were!). At the time of review the app has had little feedback at the PlayStore (the scores are reassuringly positive) so it is too early to see how responsive the developer is to user feedback.
- Free and ad-free
- Simple to use and nicely designed
- Good range of puzzles and nicely pitched levels of difficulty
- Chess pieces are not easy or comfortable to view
- No variety of piece sets or board themes/colours
- Some puzzles are very unnatural
- The chessboard is set up wrongly!

Report: Google is delivering next-generation Glass to businesses
Don't call it a Google Glass comeback... yet.
Google has been quietly delivering its new generation of Glass to a variety of businesses, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. The new enterprise Glass differs from the first iteration in that it attaches to a set of glasses, rather than having its own wire frame.
Google discontinued the first version of Glass in January, placing Nest founder Tony Fadell at the head of developing the next generation. The first generation was a bit of a failure for Google, both in terms of its limited functionality and its image; many found it pretentious and creepy.
If this report is true, it signals a much more humble Google than the one that launched the original Glass at an extravagant conference featuring skydivers. It is instead going to deliver the product to developers first, with businesses receiving deliveries in the fall. A new consumer version will follow next year at the earliest.
The company would be wise to not repeat its past mistakes, as the original Glass was somewhat of a PR disaster for Google.
The new glass will get a boost in battery life and better wireless connectivity. In addition, Google reportedly developed an extra battery pack which can magnetize to the device. The report also states that Glass will get a faster processor and a longer, thinner field of vision.
Google has not yet responded to a Mashable request for comment.
Even with the eventual launch of a new consumer product, earlier reports stated Glass 2.0 will be much more focused on enterprise, which certainly seems like a wise move in terms of image.
Wearable technology communicates a lot about the wearer, whether they want it to or not, and Glass makes a much more overt statement than something subtle like a watch.

Tree Hugger ~ Camera Critters #155
I must admit, the snow was VERY pretty this morning. It was a wet snow, so it clung to all the trees, and it looked beautiful. While on my way to work, I ALMOST turned right around and went back home so I could go out and take photos. But, of course, I didn't... like a good girl, I went to work. Hopefully I'll get some pretty photographs tomorrow, if I get the chance.

Equity Market Structure – Musings By The SEC; 15c2-11 And Penny Stocks
In March, SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and Brett Redfearn, Director of the Division of Trading and Markets, gave a speech to the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University regarding the U.S. equity market structure, including plans for future reform. Chair Clayton begins his remarks by praising the Treasury Department's four core principles reports. In particular, the Treasury Department has issued four reports in response to an executive order dated February 3, 2017 requiring it to identify laws, treaties, regulations, guidance, reporting and record-keeping requirements, and other government policies that promote or inhibit federal regulation of the U.S. financial system.
The four reports include thorough discussions and frame the issues on: (i) Banks and Credit Unions; (ii) Capital Markets (see my blog HERE); (iii) Asset Management and Insurance; and (iv) Nonbank Financials, Fintech and Innovation (see my blog HERE).
The executive order dated February 3, 2017 directed the Treasury Department to issue reports with the following objectives:
- Empower Americans to make independent financial decisions and informed choices in the marketplace, save for retirement, and build individual wealth;
- Prevent taxpayer-funded bailouts;
- Foster economic growth and vibrant financial markets through more rigorous regulatory impact analysis that addresses systemic risk and market failures, such as moral hazard and information asymmetry;
- Enable American companies to be competitive with foreign firms in domestic and foreign markets;
- Advance American interests in international financial regulatory negotiations and meetings;
- Make regulation efficient, effective, and appropriately tailored; and
- Restore public accountability within federal financial regulatory agencies and rationalize the federal financial regulatory framework.
Chair Clayton and Director Redfearn began with a review of the recently adopted SEC's initiatives related to market structure. In particular, In 2018, the SEC: (i) adopted the transaction fee pilot; (ii) adopted rules to provide for greater transparency of broker order routing practices; and (iii) adopted rules related to the operational transparency of alternative trading systems ("ATSs") that trade national market system ("NMS") stocks. The new rules were designed to increase efficiency in markets and importantly provide more transparency and disclosure to investors.
Clayton and Redfearn then turned to the equity market structure agenda for 2019, which is focused on a review and possible overhaul to Regulation NMS. Regulation NMS is comprised of various rules designed to ensure the best execution of orders, best quotation displays and access to market data. The "Order Protection Rule" requires trading centers to establish, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures designed to prevent the execution of trades at prices inferior to protected quotations displayed by other trading centers. The "Access Rule" requires fair and non-discriminatory access to quotations, establishes a limit on access fees to harmonize the pricing of quotations and requires each national securities exchange and national securities association to adopt, maintain, and enforce written rules that prohibit their members from engaging in a pattern or practice of displaying quotations that lock or cross automated quotations. The "Sub-Penny Rule" prohibits market participants from accepting, ranking or displaying orders, quotations, or indications of interest in a pricing increment smaller than a penny. The "Market Data Rules" requires consolidating, distributing and displaying market information.
In recent roundtables on the topics of the market structure for thinly traded securities, regulatory approaches to combating retail fraud, and market data and market access, Chair Clayton and Director Redfearn realized the impact of Regulation NMS on these matters. Each of these topics were then addressed.
Thinly Traded Securities
Regulation NMS mandates a single market structure for all exchange-listed stocks, regardless of whether they trade 10,000 times per day or 10 times per day. The relative lack of liquidity in the stocks of smaller companies not only affects investors when they trade, but also detracts from the companies' prospects of success. Illiquidity hampers the ability to raise additional capital, obtain research coverage, engage in mergers and acquisitions, and hire and retain personnel. Furthermore, securities with lower volumes have wider spreads, less displayed size, and higher transaction costs for investors.
One idea to improve liquidity is to restrict unlisted trading privileges while continuing to allow off-exchange trading for certain thinly traded securities. Similar to market maker piggyback rights for OTC traded securities, when a company goes public on an exchange, other exchanges can also trade the same security after the first trade on the primary exchange. This is referred to as unlisted trading privileges or UTP. Where a security is thinly traded, allowing trading on multiple platforms can exacerbate the issue. If all trading is executed on a single exchange, theoretically, the volume of trading will increase.
Moreover, institutions are particularly hampered from trading in thinly traded securities as a result of Regulation NMS. That is, the Regulation requires that an indication of interest (a bid) be made public in quotation mediums which indication could itself drive prices up. The risk of information leakage and price impact has been quoted as a reason why a buy-side trader would avoid displaying trading interest on an exchange in the current market structure.
Combating Retail Fraud (Rule 15c2-11; Penny Stocks and Transfer Agents)
The SEC has clearly been focused on retail fraud, and in particular with respect to micro-cap and digital asset securities, under the current regime. The SEC has actively pursued suspected retail fraud and scams in the last few years with the bringing of multiple enforcement actions and imposition of trading suspensions.
In that regard, I was pleased to learn from the speech that the SEC intends to review Rule 15c-211. I've written about 15c2-11 many times, including HERE. In that blog I discussed OTC Markets' comment letter to FINRA related to Rule 6432 and the operation of 15c2-11. FINRA Rule 6432 requires that all broker-dealers have and maintain certain information on a non-exchange traded company security prior to resuming or initiating a quotation of that security. Generally, a non-exchange traded security is quoted on the OTC Markets. Compliance with the rule is demonstrated by filing a Form 211 with FINRA.
The specific information required to be maintained by the broker-dealer is delineated in Securities Act Rule 15c2-11. The core principle behind Rule 15c2-11 is that adequate current information be available when a security enters the marketplace. The information required by the Rule includes either: (i) a prospectus filed under the Securities Act of 1933, such as a Form S-1, which went effective less than 90 days prior; (ii) a qualified Regulation A offering circular that was qualified less than 40 days prior; (iii) the company's most recent annual reported filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or under Regulation A and quarterly reports to date; (iv) information published pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) for foreign issuers (see HERE); or (v) specified information that is similar to what would be included in items (i) through (iv).
The 15c2-11 piggyback exception provides that if an OTC Markets security has been quoted during the past 30 calendar days, and during those 30 days the security was quoted on at least 12 days without more than a four-consecutive-day break in quotation, then a broker-dealer may "piggyback" off of prior broker-dealer information. In other words, once an initial Form 211 has been filed and approved by FINRA by a market maker and the stock quoted for 30 days by that market maker, subsequent broker-dealers can quote the stock and make markets without resubmitting information to FINRA. The piggyback exception lasts in perpetuity as long as a stock continues to be quoted. As a result of the piggyback exception, the current information required by Rule 15c2-11 may only actually be available in the marketplace at the time of the Form 211 application and not years later while the security continues to trade.
Rule 15c2-11 was enacted in 1970 to ensure that proper information was available prior to quoting a security in an effort to prevent micro-cap fraud. At the time of enactment of the rule, the Internet was not available for access to information. In reality, a broker-dealer never provides the information to investors, FINRA does not make or require the information to be made public, and the broker-dealer never updates information, even after years and years. Moreover, since enactment of the rules, the Internet has created a whole new disclosure possibility and OTC Markets itself has enacted disclosure requirements, processes and procedures. The current system does not satisfy the intended goals or legislative intent and is unnecessarily cumbersome at the beginning of a company's quotation life with no follow-through.
The entire industry agrees that 15c2-11 needs an overhaul and so again, I was very pleased that Chair Clayton and Director Redfearn acknowledge the issue. Chair Clayton has directed the Division of Trading and Markets staff to promptly prepare a recommendation to the SEC to update the rules. I hope that the SEC will review and consider the OTC Markets' suggestions for modification of the rules, including (i) make the Form 211 process more objective and efficient (currently FINRA conducts a merit review as opposed to a disclosure review); (ii) Form 211 materials should be made public and issuers should be liable for any misrepresentations; (iii) Interdealer Quotation Systems should be able to review 211 applications from broker-dealers; and (iv) allow broker-dealers to receive expense reimbursement for the 211 due diligence process.
Chair Clayton and Director Redfearn also hit on penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally defined by Exchange Act Rule 3a51-1 as securities priced below $5.00. The world of penny stocks has taken a hit lately, with Bank of America and its brokerage Merrill Lynch exiting the space altogether (see HERE) and with a slew of enforcement proceedings against clearing firms that accept customer deposits of low-priced securities. Chair Clayton indicates that he has asked the SEC staff to review the sales practice requirements relating to penny stocks. Director Redfearn adds that the staff plans to re-examine the current exceptions from the definition of "penny stock" with a view of providing heightened protections for retail customers.
Unfortunately I think that the SEC groups a stock trading at $.01 with no current information as the same as an OTCQX or Nasdaq Capital Markets security trading at $1.50 that is current in all its SEC Reporting Obligations. Likewise, the SEC groups a zero-revenue OTC Pink no-information company with one with $10 million in annual revenues and consistent yearly growth. I agree 100% that there are companies in the micro-cap space that should not be there and are ripe for scammers and fraudulent activity, but there are also great companies that are supplying the lifeline of American jobs and economic growth. I am concerned about the current regulatory discrimination against all low-priced securities and hope that in its reviews and studies, the SEC staff recognizes the distinctions.
Director Redfearn also has his sights set on transfer agents, mentioning the 2015 Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Concept Release on Transfer Agents – see HERE. The goal is to move forward transfer agent rule making and to propose a specific rule related to the transfer agents' obligations related to the tracking and removal of restrictive legends.
Market Data and Market Access
There are currently two main sources of market data and market access in the U.S. equity markets. The first is the consolidated public data feeds distributed pursuant to national market system plans jointly operated by the exchanges and FINRA. The second is an array of proprietary data products and access services that the exchanges and other providers sell to the marketplace. The second set generally are faster, more content-rich, and more costly than the consolidated data feeds.
The SEC is exploring improving the free data feeds issued by the exchanges and FINRA, including to improve speed, content, order protection and best execution, depth of information, governance, transparency and fair and efficient access to the information.

text: Sushi rice, while not terribly exciting on its own, is the most important part of sushi. In Japan, recipes and techniques vary greatly and are often kept confidential. Start by buying good-quality short grain rice and make sure to rinse it well before you start cooking. After it's cooked, it's important that the vinegar mixture is ready and sprinkled evenly over the rice while barely being turned, so it's well distributed to each grain of rice. If the end result is fluffy, shiny, and evenly flavored, then you've done it correctly.

If I were this story's protagonist, expressing myself wouldn't be the worry—instead, I'd be wondering how I'd ended up at the top of an enormous tree. It's a pertinent question for Sulta, who debuted on RA's top 100 at number 26 last year, just above Laurent Garnier, Richie Hawtin and Sven Väth. When he spoke to Carlos Hawthorn for a Breaking Through feature in January, the young Glaswegian described the creative paraylsis that follows a hit. Back then he was struggling to banish the spectre of the 2015 Numbers smash "It's Only Real." This time he's following up the monstrously huge Nein Fortiate EP. Our World (With A Boy On Its Shoulders), which features two versions of the same track, sounds uncannily like that EP's A-side. The twirling synth melody is extremely similar (it's even in the same key), as are the solid thumping drums and bassline working as euphoric counterweight.
OK, there are some new embellishments. There's an extra lick of speed, sprightly piano chords, rainforest field recordings (remember the story) and, on the A-side, a crackly sample of what sounds like African folkloric singing. But the result is the same: a distinctive and deftly produced big-room banger, in the tearjerking post-Innervisions sense of the term. You can't blame Sulta for clinging hard to that treetop, but it's not very interesting to watch.

Inside Amy Schumer scored the biggest debut of any 2013 show for Comedy Central, so the network didn't even wait until halfway through its debut season to give Schumer and her staff some more good news. Per Schumer's Twitter account, Comedy Central has renewed the show for a second 10-episode season, to debut in 2014. It will hang around with fellow sketch series Kroll Show and Key & Peele, and joins other recently renewed freshmen shows The Jeselnik Offensive and Nathan For You. That leaves The Ben Show as the only new series to not receive a second season yet.

Emails purporting to be from various well-known airlines claim that you can view the travel itinerary for a supposed flight booking you made by opening an attached .zip file.
Brief Analysis:
The emails are not from real airlines and the attachments do not contain a travel itinerary. Instead, the attachments contain a malicious file that, if opened, can download and install Locky ransomware.
Subject: Travel ItineraryDear [Name derived from email address removed]
Thank you for flying with us! We attached the Travel Itinerary for Your booking number #9EEA4B3.See the paid amount and flight information.
Best regards,
[Name Removed]
Qantas Airways
Detailed Analysis:
According to emails that are currently hitting inboxes around the world, you can view a travel itinerary for an airline booking you made by opening an attached .zip file. The emails, which are signed by supposed staff of various high profile airlines, include a booking number and advise that you can see the amount you paid and your flight information in the attached file.
However, the emails are not from the listed airlines and the attachments do not contain any sort of travel itinerary.
Opening the attached .zip file reveals another file hidden inside. Clicking this file can download and install Locky ransomware on Windows computers. Once installed, Locky can encrypt all of the files on your computer and then demand that you pay a fee to online criminals to get the decryption key.
Details, such as the name of the airline, the name of the supposed booking agent, and the bogus booking number, can vary in different incarnations of these emails.
The criminals responsible for this malware campaign bank on the fact that at least a few people will be panicked into opening the attached file in the mistaken belief that they have been charged for flight tickets that they never purchased.
In fact, criminals have used bogus travel or flight itinerary emails in a number of malware attacks in recent years.
If you receive one of these emails, do not open any attachments or click any links that it contains.
