Important Topics of Xam Idea Class 12 Physics Solutions Chapter 7: Alternating Current
This chapter focuses on AC and its transmissions. We here will discuss some beautiful and important concepts associated with it, that can help you understand each and everything about Alternating current.
What is Alternating Current?
Unlike DC (Direct Current) which flows only in a single direction, the Alternating current is a type of electric current that flows in both directions means it changes its direction after a certain period. Not only AC but also AC voltage changed direction with a period. It is usually represented as sine waves, however sometimes in triangular and rectangular waves also.
Alternating current is the most commonly used currently in a daily life basis. It is delivered to your houses, buildings, offices, etc.
Let's have a look at some of the most widely used applications of alternating current-
- In India, it has been depicted that most of the television sets use 220 AC power supply.
- It generates the AC power from the DC source Batteries with the help of electronic device Inverter.
- It's been widely used in appliances like microwaves, refrigerators, toasters, dishwashers, and so on.
- Used in Radio as well.
Alternating Current and Voltage By Rotating Vectors-Phasors
We have seen in AC circuits, the resistor, inductors, capacitors are usually connected in series and sometimes parallel also. You know, the Resistors are in the same phase as the voltage source. However, the Inductors or Capacitors can either be 'lag' or 'leads' behind the voltage source. That's why we have a phasor-diagram to relate the current and voltage source.
- Phasors are used to describe the relation between voltage and current in the sinusoidal waveform. If we have two or more sinusoidal waves, having the same frequency, different amplitude, and phase, then we use a phasor diagram to represent the phase difference between the sinusoidal signals.
- The magnitude of phasors is considered as a peak value of the voltage and current.
- Phasors usually rotate in an anticlockwise direction.
Here, We have a general expression for representing sinusoidal waveform-
A(t)=Am sin(ωt+ϕ )
In this above expression, Am is the peak amplitude, ω is the angular frequency, and ϕ is phase-shift.
Now, here the graph is shown above clearly depicts that, as the vector rotates in the anticlockwise direction at a speed of rad/s, and if we take that projection along the Y-axis, then we will have an Instantaneous value of a voltage. Taking the dot values of them, we can represent the sinusoidal signal of the waveform.
When we have a Resistor in an Ac Circuit:
In this condition we will have, an average value of current i avg = 0, and the RMS value of a current, Irms = im / √2
Let's have a look at some terminologies and concepts associated with an AC circuit-
- Inductive Reactance-
It's an opposition to a changing current flow, measured in ohms like resistance. A voltage leads the current in a purely inductive circuit.
- Capacitive Reactance-
It's just like a capacitance, opposes Alternating current, measured in farads like capacitors. A voltage lags behind the current in a pure conductive current.
- Impedance-
Impedance is the effective resistance of an AC circuit that arises from the combined effects of ohmic resistance and reactance. It is denoted by Z.
Where, X = XL – Xc
- Resonance-
It's a state in an AC circuit, at which inductive reactance is equal to the capacitive reactance.
XL = Xc
- Power Factor-
In simple words, the power factor is equal to the ratio of real power dissipated to the apparent power. It ranges from -1 to 1.
- Wattless Current-
If we talk about the pure inductive or pure capacitive circuit, the power dissipated in the circuit is zero, it means no current will be flowing in the circuit, a current is called wattless current.
Exercise Discussion of Xam Idea Class 12 Physics Solutions Chapter 7: Alternating Current
There are 80 questions in Xam Idea Class 12 Physics Solutions for this chapter. Let's see what you will learn from these question types-
Very Short Type Questions
- We have a total of 15 questions that are divided into two sections named PYQ (previous year questions) and OIQ (objective inventory questions). The PYQ part has 9 questions and the OIQ part has 6 questions. These questions are simple to solve
- The PYQ part has questions based on the capacitive reactance, power factor, wattless circuits, transformers, and the characteristics properties of their materials. You need to just revise these concepts once, you will be able to handle these questions.
- While the OIQ part consists of 6 questions. In one of the questions, you will be asked to find the RMS value of alternating current.
- There will be a question at which you need to relate the frequency with capacitive and inductive reactance.
Short Answer Type Question I
- Type I consists of around 24 questions of Alternating Current. 6 questions in the PYQ part whereas 18 questions are there in the OIQ part.
- The questions in the PYQ part are based on the quality factor, Average value, the RMS value of current in LCR circuits.
- In the OIQ part, there are 18 questions you need to solve. The questions are based on the Phasor-Diagram, power Dissipated, Resonant circuits, and so on.
- In one of the questions, you will be given the Instantaneous current and voltage, and you have to find the Impedance and Wattless current.
Apart from this, some reason based questions is also there in this section. Like, when the capacitor is connected in a series LCR circuit, the AC flowing in the circuit increases.
Short Answer Type Question- II
- Type II has 26 questions. The PYQ part has 17 questions and the rest 9 are in the OIQ part.
- In the PYQ part, you will have questions on Impedance, Power, current, capacitance, resonance, angular frequency, current at resonance, etc.
- In the OIQ part, you will have a question at which you need to give a reason that, can a voltage across capacitance and Inductance be greater than the voltage of an AC source?
Long Answer Type Questions
- Herein, you will have around 26 questions in total that will cover the entire concepts involved in this chapter.
- You will have a graph-based question in this section, and at which you need to give the reason for all the components associated with the LCR circuit. The components are Ac voltage, Average Current, RMS current, and so on.
- You will have a question on Ac generator, you need to describe the working of AC generators with a labelled diagram.

To clarify: > > My proposal was that automatic /48 allocations be made to anyone with an > ASN, based on the premise that every AS will advertise at least one PI > block. If I remember right /48 is not a PI block (or rather it may not be within ARIN region which uses different terminology), /48 are expected to be allocated by ISPs (LIRs) to customers with their own network (rather when its individual device and then its /64) but its provider-dependent (i.e. PA) as far as its being assigned by ISP where as PI would be micro-allocation directly by RIR Now if you compare the policies for IPv4 ARIN does have a policy that multihoming (i.e. = has ASN) is an automatic justification for /24 from one of the upstreams. Its not unreasonable to expect this to be extended to IPv6 and say that multihoming is justification for /48 from one of the upstreams or from RIR - however saying that is redundant as running independent network with multiple devices is already justification for /48 from the LIR or upstream no matter if network it is multihomed or not :) Now as far as assigning /48 for every ASN, lets not do it just yet - some ASNs may need larger blocks then just /48 and besides that there are way too many ASNs out there that are not used at all (getting close to 50%) and for those that are used some are used for special network preferences by the same provider that may not need separate /48. So just having ASN out in whois does not mean they really need an /48 - that ASN holder must actually ask for it! However, what I would be for is allowing for micro-allocations from ARIN (and this can/should be larger then /48 probably) so as to boostart use of IPv6. Currently if ASN holder is not a member of ARIN, they should request ip block from their ISP or become member of ARIN and pay for that IPv6 block $2500/year, I think we should allow for companies with ASN to be able to directly request IPv6 space from ARIN (micro-allocation) if their ISP does not have yet have IPv6 space and that "ipv6 startup micro-allocations" should cost less then regular full ipv6 blocks - possibly no extra money if they are already paying yearly maintanance fee of $100/yr for ASN). -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william at elan.net

Common Plant Diseases & Pests: How to Recognize and Treat Them
The wet winter season is upon us, with spring just around the corner! While spring brings back flowers, birds, and bees, it also means that it is almost pest and disease season for your plants and trees. If you want to avoid your plants being taken over by pests and diseases, continue reading for our list of the most common plant diseases and pests, and how to recognize and treat them.
Before we begin with the list, there are two extremely important things to do when you are treating your plants from infections. The first is, when you are purchasing chemicals for your plants, always read the label. Only purchase chemicals that are made specifically for your plant and for the disease you are treating; if not, you could risk killing your plant rather than helping it. Always remember that they best way to chemically treat your plants is by having a professional do it. The second piece of advice is to clean your pruning shears after each use. This helps stop the spread of bacteria from plant to plant. Clean, dry, and oil your tools after each use. If you are pruning infected plants, use rubbing alcohol to rid your pruners of any pathogens.
Our first common pest is the well-known aphid. Aphids are small insects that are attracted to your plants because they suck the sap out of them. Typically, aphids do not harm your plants when they suck their sap; the little bite marks and the dry places in the plants tend to make it look unhealthy, and lose moisture.
To recognize an aphid infestation, check the leaves on your plant. The aphids will live on the underside of them, and when they suck on their sap, the leaves will turn yellow and wilt. Aphids are hard to miss, as they exist in colonies, so there will be many tiny insects living under your plant's leaves.
To get rid of aphids, wipe the affected leaves with a mixture of dish soap and water. To prevent aphids form being attracted to your plant, bury banana and orange peels around 1-2 inches under the soil surrounding your plant.
Japanese Beetles
These beetles are highly recognizable, as you have probably had them in your garden before! This invasive species is related to the scarab beetle, and so is not native to North America. Japanese beetles are attracted to the tissues in between the veins of the leaves; when they are eaten, only the brown skeleton of the leaf remains.
You can recognize a Japanese beetle infestation just like an aphid infestation. The leaves of your plant will be brown, and pieces inside will be nibbled away. You will also spot Japanese beetles nearby, as they like to feed on the upward side of the leaves in groups. Their coppery wings and green bodies are easy to recognize!
Japanese beetles are most active in the early morning, and so a natural way to deter them is to cover your plants with a drop cloth at night, and remove it in the morning. It should be full of Japanese beetles, which you can dump in soapy water. For a less natural but more effective way of ridding your plants of these pests, spray your plants with neem oil. We suggest not using beetle traps, as these will just draw more beetles to your plants.
Bagworms are a type of moth which are known to wrap their silk around the twigs of trees to build bags. They use these bags to hide in when they are upset, as well as to camouflage themselves against the tree. The larvae will feed on the tree's leaves, causing defoliation of your tree.
To recognize if you have a bagworm infestation, inspect your tree to find any silk bags hanging in the branches. If your tree's leaves are chewed through, and there is not a noticeable presence of Japanese beetles or aphids, then you have a bagworm infestation.
With a small infestation, you can clip each silk bag off of your tree and into a bucket of soapy water. With a larger infestation, contact a specialist to treat your tree with an insecticide.
Fungus or Fungal Spores
Fungi are the most common type of plant disease, as there are thousands of types of fungi that can spread bacteria and pathogens. When fungi comes into contact with a plant, it germinates, and begins to grow.
There are quite a few types of fungi that can spread disease, but there are also some fungi that are not necessarily bad for the plant, and some that are good for the plant. The bad fungi will cause canker, discoloration, wilting, and defoliation. The in-between fungi will neither help nor harm the plant, and the good fungi will actually become a food source for the plant.
Fungi is the hardest of the plant diseases to recognize, as it comes in many different forms. Typically, once a plant is infected with a fungus, it cannot be cured. For this reason, it is so important to spray your plants with specific fungicides to prevent fungi from growing around your plant.
A canker is simply an area on the bark of the tree that is dying, or is dead. This can by caused by something hitting the tree, like a lawn mower, or by a bacterial fungus.
To treat canker, any open wounds on the bark of the tree should be trimmed back to prevent the spread of pathogens, bacteria, or fungi. Prune all branches below the canker, and remember to clean your pruning shears! One tip for when you are pruning or trimming cankers, is to avoid doing so in early spring, as this is when bacteria is easiest to spread.
Gall is the name for abnormal growths or balls that occur on roots, stems, or branches of plants and trees. These growths are caused by many different types of bacteria, as it spreads through soil, water, and wind, and can cause leaf drop or death of plants.
Gall is one of the most easily recognizable of plant diseases, as the tumors that grow due to gall are usually large, and can expand without treatment. The only way to rid gall from your plant is to trim all of the gall into soapy water, and to clean up surrounding twigs, leaves, and petals surrounding your plant. Typically, if gall is found in orchards or vineyards, the crops will spread them around, most likely killing the produce.
Powdery Mildew
Powdery mildew is a common fungal disease that mostly affects crops and woody ornamentals. This type of fungus can affect plant growth and fruit development, but will most likely not kill the plant.
Powdery mildew grows on the surfaces of leaves, and is easily recognizable because of its white or gray powdery appearance. This fungus may start off in one isolated spot, but can grow to cover the entire surface of the plant. Prevent powdery mildew by pruning back plants during the winter months, which will increase light and air flow for the plant. Watering the infected leaves prevents the fungus from moving to the other leaves, but a fungicide will be the most effective way to rid your plant of powdery mildew.
Fire Blight
Fire blight is a common disease that affects many fruit trees, the most common being apple and pear. This bacteria grows in hotter air temperatures, thriving in 70 degree weather and killing trees in 90 degree weather. Fire blight is caused by a disease that grows in cankers of trees, which multiplies to spread to other trees.
Fire blight is recognizable because of the affect that it has on the tree's leaves, which is that it causes them to look as though they were burnt in a fire. To treat, cut out cankers in the winter, when the bacteria is dormant. Apply a nitrogen-heavy fertilizer, and only prune infected branches to avoid spreading the disease any further. Apply biologicals during early bloom, and if the disease persists, consult a professional for chemical treatments.
Leaf Rust
Leaf rust is a disease that can affect plants in mild and humid conditions. These fungal spores are transferred from one infected plant to one healthy plant by wind and water, and feed on the plant to survive.
Rust on plants can by identified by looking closely at your plant's leaves. If there are small, circular, copper-colored spots on the leaves without the presence of bugs, then your plant is infected with rust. Leaf rust also causes defoliation, and distortion on the surface of leaves. To treat, prune the infected leaves and destroy all leaves that have dropped from the plant. If leaf rust persists, use a chemical treatment only on the infected plants.
Botrytis Blight
Botrytis blight, also called gray mold, is a type of fungus that grows in humid conditions. This common disease is found mostly among bedding plants, and can affect the entire plant, rather than just the leaves or stem. Botrytis blight attacks your plants and feeds off of them, harming them and in some cases killing them.
Water-soaked spots will form on the leaves, eventually causing the leaves to wilt. Without treatment, fuzzy gray spores will form on the plant, which can spread through air or water. The best way to avoid botrytis blight is to trim back your plants, and the best way to rid your garden of this fungus is by completely removing any infected plants and destroying all debris. If your gray mold continues spreading, use a fungicide specific to your plant to cease the spread to any healthy plants.
Pest and disease season is almost upon us, and that is why it is so important to always check on your plants to ensure they are healthy. Failing to check on your plants means there is no way of knowing if you have Japanese beetles, or if powdery mildew is spreading in your garden! When in doubt of whether a plant is infected or not, always consult a professional before you spray a chemical on your plant that it does not need. Pruning your plants is the best way to prevent the spread of disease and bacteria in your garden, as long as you remember to clean your shears!

Police on Wednesday released a composite sketch of a man they think abducted a teenage girl from her home at gunpoint early Tuesday, forced her into a van and attempted to sexually assault her.
The girl escaped uninjured after she kicked her attacker in the groin, police said.
The abduction occurred in the Riverland area about 4 a.m. Tuesday.
Police said another man also was involved but did not have a detailed description. Officials also did not have a description of the van used in the crime.
Anyone who recognizes the man in the sketch or who can provide additional information is asked to contact Detective Rafael Bouyett at 954-828-5639 or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-356-4631.

Western Star Signs
Both of you are outgoing, friendly people. You enjoy socializing and you enjoy each other's company immensely. Very often Sagittarius provides extra "zing" to the relationship with lots of grandiose ideas, dreams, visions, and restless wanderlust. Libra helps provide a more balanced, sensible perspective while usually being sympathetic to Sagittarius as well.
However, sometimes your joint activities may fail to be fruitful. Libra is often prone to go along with people even when there are lots of doubts. Sagittarius may enthusiastically talk Libra into ventures that Libra should have the sense to question rather than meekly accept. Overall, though, this is likely to be a most enjoyable relationship.
Folks tend to like the naturally enthusiastic Sagittarius. Libra has the potential for much social intercourse and favorable public contact. To really thrive, Libra needs to be part of a loving, committed "marriage."
All things being equal, Libra prefers civil conversation. Libra usually does not find reason for raised voices or crude language at inappropriate times. Embarrassment can be an issue for Libra. Libra likes to ask for advice, but does not like to be told what to do. Libra needs a cushy job in a swanky environment.
Sagittarius can cultivate tolerance and thus be able to get along with many different types of people. Sagittarius can get the power of positive thinking to work overtime. To do so, Sagittarius must clarify ideals and pursue life with a spirit of adventure.
The romantic side of your relationship is a most interesting one. If Libra can get over the initial shock/horror of your 'in your face' attitude, you'll both start enjoying your intimate moments together.

Chinese Star Signs
This may not be the greatest match. Tension will arise from the Rat and the Tiger competing for the limelight. As lovers their need to be at center stage will eventually dramatically diminish their powerful lovemaking. Their overall compatibility rating is 40%.
Charismatic and self-assured, Tigers were born to lead. This gives them an air of authority most find hard to resist. They are charming and fun, yet never lose sight or stop pursuing their goals or relinquish control.
The Tigers' courage is without limit and they rarely lose a fight regardless of the arena. The Tiger is the king of seduction. They are dignified and affectionate. The primal nature of their being makes them very attractive to almost all.
Tigers are moody and can strike at those around them without warning. A Tiger's feelings run deep and are extraordinarily intense. They do not handle stress well and can be overly emotional. An angry Tiger is something to fear.
Tigers are often excessive in their behavior and a little moderation could go a long way in making them happier. When Tigers remain centered and focus their energy on worthy pursuits they will achieve great things.
Note that Chinese star signs are determined by your exact date of birth, and not just your birth year. For more information, read about the Chinese Zodiac »

Resident's fury after tree accidentally felled outside her Harlesden home
PUBLISHED: 18:21 19 June 2013 | UPDATED: 18:41 19 June 2013
Council worker claimed to have been dismissive about potential fatal mishap
A contract worker for Brent Council accidentally chopped down a tree which could have killed a passerby in Harlesden, a furious resident is claiming.
Peta Kennedy has been left reeling after the man felled the tree outside her home in Harlesden Gardens, while pruning its branches yesterday afternoon.
In a further twist she claims that when she spoke to the worker he was dismissive about the potential fatal consequences.
She said: "I was furious. My daughter could have been playing there. He didn't seem to care that it could have hit someone.
"Could you imagine if someone was walking past they would have been killed.
"I have lodged a complaint with Brent Council as I want answers."
Brent Council failed to comment.

I have a full size aluminium roof rack to give away. It is too high to fit in my garage and is now surplus to requirements.
One of the mounts cracked off (on our cape trip) but it has been fixed by U-bolting the mounting bracket onto the circular cross member as can be seen in the pic. The pic is marked to show the break points of the failed mount. Similar U-bolts have been put on all 8 mounts to avoid any repeat as some cracks did appear in other mounts. The U-bolts make the mounts fixed instead of adjustable but this fits a GU wagon and these might need to be modified for other models. The mesh floor has been pushed out of shape to allow fitting of the U-bolts which can also be seen in the pic.
This fits a GU wagon and might need the mounts to be modified for other models.
The rack itself is otherwise good.

Amazon has clawed up the slippery stock market slope to become one of the biggest companies, as measured by market cap, in the world.
With a new all-time high reached last week of more than $804 a share, Amazon's shares have doubled in less than a year and a half, and that brings the eCommerce behemoth to stand beside illustrious tech peers and investor darlings. The firm is ranked fourth in the world by market cap, behind only Apple, Alphabet and Microsoft.
Growth, as ever, is the name of the game for Amazon. It is what cheers The Street and is what has brought the stock to these lofty levels. But this is no mere case of a rising tide lifting all boats (though that does indeed happen on The Street, as the dot-com bubble of earlier in the millennium showed). Amazon's ride has been based on sanguine views over its competitive positioning and its ability to make money wherever it sets its sights. Could that be a zero-sum game for other stocks — and the companies attached to them?
Investors seem to think so.
Call it the "Amazon Effect." When Amazon fires a shot across the bow of other companies pursuing niches in other markets, stocks tremble. Just a rumor can suffice to send shares plummeting, without any concrete affirmation from Amazon management.
In just the latest examples of the Amazon Effect, earlier this month, the firm said that it would be launching a prints business, bringing Amazon up against Shutterfly. Shutterfly's stock plunged double-digit percentages (off 12 percent intraday) on the sudden debut of Amazon Prints, which lets users print photos and photo books.
There's also the ability to create calendars and stationary. And as has been Amazon's hallmark, price is what matters. Amazon's strategy is to use the printing service as a way to boost usage of, and sign up new users to, its cloud storage service, and so, the pricing of the printing service seems secondary. Sites such as TechCrunch noted that Amazon's pricing for a 4x5 print stood at $0.09 a copy, significantly under the $0.15 charged by Shutterfly. What's at stake here? Possibly Shutterfly's margins, which is, of course, why that firm's stock sank. Price wars can be brutal. Price wars with Amazon can be worse than brutal.
As the eCommerce giant looks to load new features onto its Prime service beyond two-day shipping, with perks such as streaming media, price is simply one arrow in the quiver, albeit a sharp one.
How about harnessing the power of portals? Last month, Amazon made waves across the auto industry when it said it would look to the car portal business, Enter Amazon Vehicles, which the company defines as a "car research destination and automotive community," where car enthusiasts and the automotively curious can gather to swap reviews, photos and basically kibitz. The buzz surrounding the portal is that Amazon is laying the groundwork for inching into, or perhaps jumping into, the car buying business. Perhaps no wonder, then, that TrueCar shares crashed on the news, as that company's business model hinges on matching car buyers and car dealers that pledge to honor a "no haggle" price. TrueCar shares screeched downwards by 14 percent on the news.
Also, last month, music services were on the "to do" list for Amazon, which, of course, brings the firm into Apple's sphere, and at $10, according to press reports. Apple shares have not reacted all that much, since, well, we are talking about Apple here, with the scale and drive — similar to Amazon's — to do just fine in hardware and software. But in another flank attack, Amazon has rattled sabers against Google Home and Apple's Siri, as had been reported in June. The key competitive advantage, according to some industry watchers, is that Amazon will offer ad-free music streaming, in contrast to the other services.
The read across here is that discounting will carry the day, and streaming media will help differentiate the firm away from its "traditional niche" of delivery systems. In a head-to-head against Netflix earlier this year, Amazon said its Prime Video would become a standalone video service, which took Netflix shares down a peg — actually more than a peg, with a 13 percent decline.
There's even an effect on management teams at Amazon rivals. Recode posited this week that Target Chief Digital Officer Jason Goldberger's position had been eliminated and that he had left the firm — and that his duties had been split between two other executives — amid thorny competition from Amazon.
What does this all mean for short-term trading? A lot, if you're a short seller, seeking profits from sliding stocks. The mere whiff of competition from the 800-pound gorilla in eCommerce is enough to send skittish holders to the exits. Those investors with a longer-term view may find buying opportunities among the panic, depending on how cast iron their stomach linings may be. The fact remains that the announcement of Amazonian entrance into a new market does not guarantee success; none of these firms will go down without a fight. As Amazon evolves, so too will competitors — "Amazon Effect" or not.

The web is the product or service of modernization which offers made practically every thing within a man's existence hassle-free. From shopping to giving mails to attaching using friends and relatives, internet has really changed greatly a lot of peoples' lifestyle. Certainly not to be still left antique is the area of discretion and play, because all these days and nights there are on the web arcades, video game playing and most of all, online betting.
True betting is completed for almost anything plus everything which is very likely to happen and occur. Similarly in online betting you could choose to bet with sports, lottery games and even everything else supplied for on the web gambling. Today there happen to be numerous on-line gaming web-sites competing against each other. 1 tactic that all these sites offer to help make a client keep arriving as well as create a kind of loyalty for them will be providing initial bets cost-free. For matched bets, the amount you placed is available to get doubled. In even bigger bets events, the players are shown quadruple amounts. When compared to the true bets no free bets are offered which makes on the net betting more eye-catching.
Another advantage of on the internet betting is always that this allows players in order to analyze and compare possibilities in each and each celebration. Many sites own a good calculator for the particular game so this person is given the chance to compare the various odds provided to get simply by every bookmaker. Can be more is usually that the facts plus service can be free connected with charge and the person might so select the particular best probabilities. This may possibly not at all get possible as soon as betting is done on true, the particular player may sit down all day long in one bookmaker purchase nevertheless the only odds this individual will get is typically the odds provided for by way of that bookie.
Another tempting tactic implemented by many online betting sites is some sort of special offer like some sort of money back present. When a gambler is usually just starting to browse for the top site in order to place his wages with, a particular site will say that should the moose waged on suddenly is catagorized or perhaps if penalty charges help make a team reduce, next the stake will be came back to the bettor. As you can imagine, such special offers are usually not presented to client of an actual bookmaker.
New betting industries include been conceived solely intended for online betting like wagering exchanges and spread bets businesses. These newly established divisions present additional gambling options to players. Much like the actual bookies, solely a few themes will be offered for betting for instance horse racing, baseball together with football, although in on the net betting almost all issues can be put up for wagering like offshore sports actions, election effects and the lot more. Consequently right now there is an increased marketplace for selection of items and stuffs to site a bet about. Data, which is vital inside engaging to a specific pastime most especially for betting that involves dollars, can easily and easily get accessed from the countless resources up on this internet.
Likely to a physical bookmaker shop could be quite physically demanding and exhausting specifically if there are very quite a few people wanting for you to place their very own bets. http://188.8.131.52/ With online bets, all these hassles are taken away. The player can wager in a game, when relaxing on a comfortable seat and holding a mouse with his hands. Perhaps although lying on cargo area, the gamer can conveniently site a guess through on the internet betting.

It's been a steaming hot day in Hamphire; the temperature here is nearly as hot as Kampala and the last few days have been met with some incredible lightning and thunderstorms. With four days to go before the 2014 group heads off to Uganda it's a time for frantic packing, weighing of luggage and attempting to make sure that we've remembered everything.
The coolest person has of course has been Larry the Leopard who watched me pack as he phoned all his friends in Uganda where he is expecting a rapturous welcome.
Tonight there was a brief meeting at Steve Peach's house where we discussed final arrangements for the trip. Steve revealed that he will be setting up wildlife cameras with microphones around Hippo House so it can be proven conclusively whether it's me snoring at night or whether there are genuinely hippos outside.
Before we leave on Thursday I will post more about the aims for the trip.

NEW BREMEN – There are two fun features at the upcoming 2019 New Bremen Firemen's Picnic., one of which participants may get very very warm and another where they will get mighty wet. The two-day event is Friday, July 26, and Saturday, July 27, at the Crown Pavilion. Information can be found on the New Bremen German Township Facebook page.
At the Friday 5K Run, Firemen Kenneth Krumm and Larry Kellermeyer are continuing their tradition of running the 5K Run but is asking the public to help them determine how much gear to wear with a donation to the all-volunteer fire department.
Gear to be selected for a $25 donation includes a helmet, gloves or carry tools. The hood goes for $40, while the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus, pants, and jacket each go for $50. Only Kellermeyer has said he will wear the boots for $100. Both men have said if all the equipment has donations, they will add a wet suit under their gear to make it extra challenging.
Kuenning said of the two men will be closely followed by EMS staff to make sure the runners do not overheat.
The run is held in honor of firefighers Ken Jutte and John Garman, who died in the line of duty.
At the Saturday Firemen's Picnic, which runs from noon to midnight, the kids can participate in the Waterball Competition at 1 p.m.
For those who do not know, Waterball competition involves two teams using hoses to push a ball down a wire, not only hitting the ball, but frequently each other.
At 4 p.m. the professional firemen step in, with anywhere from five to ten local fire departments competing for Waterball bragging rights.
At 6:30, Assistant Fire Chief Lee Kuenning said the New Bremen Fire Department will show the importance of seat belt use by dropping melons from various heights from their ladder truck on to a windshield to show how heads react upon impacts during crashes.
The picnic will also have food and beer stands and games of chance, music by Monroe Country at 5:30 p.m. and Roger DeMange and Rick Heyne from 8:30 p.m. to midnight. Food stands manned by the firemen and friends will include burgers, brats and chicken sandwiches.
Kids will be able to enjoy games, jump houses and pony rides. There will be a Lift-A-Thon featuring the New Bremen high school football team. The 8 p.m. auction will include wood carvings by the Tim Kuenning family and a metal fire ring.
The 98-year-old Firemen's Picnic is Auglaize County's longest running picnic, offering entertainment, good food, and time with friends since 1921. Kuenning said the picnic has always been about thanking the community for their support and their willingness to step forward in an emergency.
A complete list of activities for both the Friday 5K and the Saturday Picnic can be found on the New Bremen German Township Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/NEWBREMENGERMANFIRE/.

text: Michel Martin Rina Sawayama Wants Her Success To Make Space For Asian Women In Pop Music By Michel Martin & Gemma Watters • Jul 19, 2020 Rina Sawayama's self-titled debut album is a complex work of pop music, often calling to mind early 2000s R&B, nu-metal, and shuffling between genres in the same song. In the same way she flips through sounds, Sawayama also sings about a lot of complicated topics: her parents' messy divorce, her identity as Japanese British person and her burgeoning understanding of systemic racism, which she says she experienced while studying psychology, sociology and politics at Cambridge University. Stacey Abrams Calls Georgia's Primary Election 'An Unmitigated Disaster' By Elena Moore & Michel Martin • Jun 12, 2020 Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams says the state's Tuesday primary performance was "an unmitigated disaster," pinning the blame on Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Polling locations all around Georgia experienced delays and long lines Tuesday due to a mix of logistical problems, technical issues with the state's new voting machines and COVID-19-related restrictions resulting in fewer available voting sites. In 'Cry Havoc,' Former Charlottesville Mayor Details A Tragic Day By Michel Martin • Jun 6, 2020 The Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017 is one of the flashpoints of the Trump era. The white-supremacist gathering devolved into violence with anti-racist demonstrators. One woman, Heather Heyer, was killed and others were injured. The event has taken on a deep symbolic meaning even beyond those terrible facts. Former Vice President Joe Biden began his run for the Democratic presidential nomination by invoking Charlottesville, and saying his campaign was a response, in part, to President Trump's divisive rhetoric. Former NAACP Head Cornell Brooks Blames Derek Chauvin For Violence At Protests By Michel Martin & Christianna Silva • May 31, 2020 Protests have erupted across the nation in response to the death of George Floyd, and some of the demonstrations have turned violent, leading political leaders and activists to debate over who is responsible.

Over the past five years, the virtuosic bass player has worked with everyone from Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar to Michael McDonald. His latest album, It Is What It Is, was released on Friday and it features the same expansive range of genres and styles.

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: 'Black In Space' Explores NASA's Small Steps And Giant Leaps Toward Equality By Michel Martin • Mar 1, 2020 For many Americans, the first moon landing remains the most memorable moment in the history of manned space travel. It was a high-water mark in the space race, but as the United States and Soviet Union were rushing to prove their dominance, a lesser known chapter in that battle was taking place: America's effort to send a black man into space. Black in Space: Breaking the Color Barrier, a new documentary on the Smithsonian Channel, brings light to the groundbreaking moment that almost came to be during the heights of the civil rights movement. Ranky Tanky On Celebrating South Carolina's Gullah Traditions By Michel Martin • Mar 1, 2020 Quentin Baxter and Clay Ross first met as students at the College of Charleston in the 1990s, where they played together in a jazz band. Decades later, they reunited and last month won a Grammy together as members of Ranky Tanky, a band that specializes in blending contemporary American gospel and R&B with Gullah traditional music. Val Demings Says House Impeachment Managers 'Made Our Case' By James Doubek & Michel Martin • Feb 8, 2020 President Trump celebrated his acquittal this week by lashing out at political rivals and firing two officials who testified before impeachment investigators about his involvement in the Ukraine scandal. In Chicago, Hanukkah Now Has Its Own Pop-Up Bar Experience By Michel Martin • Dec 22, 2019 As swaths of red and green trim Chicago neighborhoods this holiday season, an unexpected pop of blue is lighting up the Wrigleyville neighborhood. And it's got nothing to do with the Cubs. It's actually the 10,000-plus lights springing from 8 Crazy Nights — what appears to be the city's first Hanukkah-themed pop-up bar. Kyle Bagley and Sam Stone, co-owners of the Graystone Tavern, decided to dress up the sports bar for the month of December. Neither owner is Jewish, but Bagley says they saw a void in the crowded pop-up scene. On top of that, they wanted to stand out. 'This Isn't Speech:' Attorney Carrie Goldberg On Revenge Porn By Michel Martin • Nov 16, 2019 When Carrie Goldberg broke up with her boyfriend of a few months, frightening things started happening. He sent her hundreds of threatening messages. He contacted her friends, family and even work colleagues on Facebook to spread vicious lies about her — and that wasn't all. One night she opened her laptop to find email after email containing intimate pictures of her, including a graphic video filmed without her consent. Goldberg, a lawyer, went to the police and was told there was nothing that could be done. George Soros: Open Societies Are Under Threat By Michel Martin & Emma Bowman • Oct 26, 2019 Between the election of President Trump and Britain's ongoing debate over Brexit, the billionaire philanthropist George Soros recognizes that populism is on the rise and that his brand of liberal democracy is faltering. "When I got involved in what I call political philanthropy some 40 years ago, the open society idea was on the ascendant — closed societies were opening up," Soros said in an interview with NPR's All Things Considered. "And now, open societies are on the defensive and dictatorships are on the rise." Yet he remains optimistic. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Says Bernie Sanders' Heart Attack Was A 'Gut Check' Moment By Jenny Gathright & Michel Martin • Oct 19, 2019 Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York officially endorsed presidential candidate Bernie Sanders at a rally in Queens, N.Y., on Saturday. Addressing an estimated crowd of more than 25,000 supporters, Ocasio-Cortez said she was proud to join the Vermont senator in bringing "a working-class revolution to the ballot box of the United States of America."

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST: David Cameron Talks Brexit And His 'Greatest Regret' In New Book 'For The Record' By Michel Martin & Emma Bowman • Sep 29, 2019 With the fraught negotiations over Brexit continuing to embroil British politics, the nation's former prime minister, David Cameron, says his "greatest regret" is that those who advocated to stay in the EU lost the vote — which ultimately divided the country, paralyzed the government and left Britain increasingly at risk of leaving the European Union without any deal.

The family fled Afghanistan after the extremist group had called for Fazili's death over a film he'd made about one of its commanders. Even as the refugee family navigates a still-incomplete journey — of death threats, discrimination and paralyzing immigration systems — Fazili and Hussaini turn their cameras on themselves and their daughters.

Kind Words
In January 2013 I realized I needed to do something to improve my health. I spent 2012 on maternity leave and often neglected taking care of my own health (sleepless nights and caring for a tiny human will do that!). Not to mention the many years before that where health was at the bottom of my list of priorities. Luckily, I discovered Lisa's 30 day green smoothie challenge. The recipes were incredible and a green smoothie drinker was born! But I didn't stop there. Starting each day in such a healthy way led me to consult with a naturopath (it would have been Lisa if we were in the same city), do an elimination diet, and discover that I have sensitivities to wheat and milk. I changed to a whole foods-based diet (most of the time) and took up running. In the span of 8.5 months I went from being tired and sluggish on the couch (literally - I could run for one minute at a time before having to walk) to having enough energy to run the Detroit International Half Marathon. I actually RAN the whole thing! And I lost almost 60lbs along the way! Thank you, Lisa, for being my catalyst. Your challenge kept me interested in a new way of living and saved me! I continue to drink a green smoothie every day for breakfast. What a wonderful way to start each day!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Margaret River
In these techno-obsessed times, anything that encourages physical exercise is a PLUS. We asked Michelle Troop from NLNL Margaret River what it's all about.
"No Lights, No Lycra" - I loved the name before I even knew what is was about… what is it about?!
No Lights No Lycra is a dance community that started in Melbourne by Alice Glenn and Heidi Barrett in 2009. It's free movement, so there's no teacher or rules. It's a space for people who love to dance. It's a very non-judgemental space and because it takes place in the dark (except in Summer), it's a great place to lose yourself and your worries in the music and just dance.
It must be completely liberating, what sort of post-class comments do you get/overhear?
At the end of every session there's always a lot of happy faces in the room. The smiles speak for themselves.
How many people in an average class…and is there squishing of toes or any embarrassing moments?
We average between 10 to 20 people each week. You do have to be mindful of one another's space, especially in Winter as it's very dark and hard to see other people.
Can the space be used for private NLNL sessions, girls nights, parties, escaping children!?
It could be, we're open to anything if there's enough people involved. We're planning on a few extra events this Winter. We'll keep you posted on our facebook page.
Does anyone BYO iPod and groove to their own beat?
The music is loud, like you're in a club. So it would be a bit tricky to hear your iPod I would think. I run NLNL with a friend of mine Emma, who's a DJ, so we have a decent sound system.
What's on your playlist at the moment?
I'm into old school funk at the moment, so I've been listening to artists like Funkadelic, The Jungle Brothers, Roger & Zapp. I'm also into Alison Wonderland and a friend of mine has given me some heavier stuff like Ticon that I like too.
Most popular NLNL track?
It always changes but we just had our 2 year anniversary and we played songs by Flume, Will Sparks, Lykke Li, Avicci, Lana Del Ray. The old classics like Baby Got Back and Push It are always fun, but both mine and Em's musical tastes have changed and evolved since we started, so we're coming up with new stuff all the time.
What age is your average NLNL'er?
They range from about 14 to 60.
Loving the daggy factor, do tracky-dacks feature often?
It's definitely a work out, so most people wear leggins or shorts with a pair of sneakers.
Any plans for more NLNL classes or events in the south-west?
We've got a few ideas in mind for some Friday sessions involving guest djs that I'd like to see happen. We'll keep everyone posted on our facebook page- http://www.facebook.com/NoLightsNoLycraMargaretRiver
On a cold wintry Tuesday night in June 2009, five people walked through the doors of St Marks Church Hall in Fitzroy, Melbourne. In the winter darkness, the light glow of the heaters and a portrait of Amma the Hugging Saint looking down upon them, No Lights No Lycra was launched to the song Rien de Rien by Edith Piath. The dance night grew through word of mouth and within a few months the hall was full of people who shared the same yearning for a dimly lit space to dance as freely as they do in their living rooms.NLNL now runs dance nights throughout Australia and the world.
"This is a pure and spiritual experience, releasing that urge to shake and doing it without dealing with the social nuances of dancing in public"- Greenpointers Blog, Brooklyn NY
"Many of the constraints of our modern society can be transcended through dancing in this environment, gender and sexuality become irrelevent, and space is negotiated without words or power struggle."-
Laura Morgan, NLNL Dancer, Melbourne.
WHERE: CWA Hall 42 Townview Tce Margaret River
WHEN: Wednesdays 7:00pm-8:00pm
