Durango Station Casino has been on the books for a while, and has faced the added delay from Station Casinos going private. The Fertitta brothers and Las Vegas Hilton owner Colony Capital completed the deal last November. Since then they've proceeded with the already under construction Aliante Station in North Las Vegas, but there's another project they've also been working on...getting Durango Station back on line and it's been pushed up to the front of the pack.
They've been having meetings with neighbors since near the beginning of this year, and recently announced they had plans in the works to break ground on the project in 2009. Station has set a tentative completion date for the first part of the construction of 2011. I've just found out that they'll be up before Clark County next week to present their plans for approvals, and County Staff has given their endorsement.
There doesn't appear to be anything too drastically different from the original plans approved a few years ago, only some minor downsizing. The project will be built in 2 phases, the first will be a 201 room, 145' hotel tower with movie theater and arcade, with added restaurants and retail in 8 additional buildings on the site totaling an extra 139,000 square feet to the resort complex. Those retail buildings are to be an outdoor mall similar in design to The District at Green Valley Ranch. The casino floor is now laid out to be just under 87,000 square feet, and both parking garages built in the first phase. The 2nd phase would call for building an added 525 rooms in a 216' tower.
This has been a long awaited project in the southwest side of the Vegas Valley, and if it does the same as the other Station properties, should spur even more development in the area. Rhodes Ranch, the golf course community, is directly to the south and Durango Station is actually part of that master plan with the parcel purchased from Rhodes in 2000. Just to the north on the beltway at Russell Rd is the under construction condominium community of Manhattan West. I'm also hearing that Manhattan is up next week for approvals for Staybridge Suites to be incorporated into their commercial building, as well as an expansion of the originally planned and approved restaurant space. I've been informed that some other sizable parcels in that area have or are in the process of getting approvals for new commercial construction for office and retail space. As my source mentions. the anticipated effects of this project appear to have already been quietly underway for some time.
Station has announced this project will be delayed, but currently remains at the top of their project list.
If you are interested in relocating to Las Vegas or would like information on Las Vegas real estate, please email me email@example.com or call me at 702-354-8988. I look forward to hearing from you!

R'hka and his dwarf companions were digging for gold, but nothing could prepare them to the discovery they were about to make. With shovels and pickaxes, they were progressing in the mine. Suddenly, one of the pickaxes hit what looked like an old crate engraved with strange runes. Opening it, they discovered finely-sculpted figures, painted wooden tokens and tons of glittering metal coins… sure, it was not gold, but a nice treasure chest nonetheless.
The Small World Designer Edition has just been added to our website! The first copies were sent a few months ago to the backers of our Kickstarter campaign that pledged the "Designer's Oath" level. However, if you did not use the occasion to buy the collector's version, now is your chance to do so.

The victory points are custom metal coins that vary in shape and size depending on their value, and are stored in little leather purses to hide your fortune from your opponents. The Designer Edition also includes three super-sized boards for 2-3, 4-5 and 6 players, as well as numerous custom finely-sculpted resin figures for game elements such as the Dragon, Heroes, Pots of Gold, Fireballs, Catapult, etc. Last but not least, it also includes the famous "Pocket Encyclopedia" of Small World from the Kickstarter Campaign.
Please note that the Small World Designer Edition only exists in English. There will not be any other version of this edition.
On June 9, 2015, on 3 pm GMT (8 am PDT) we will open the orders for the Designer Edition of Small World. We anticipate a high amount of orders, and we must remind you that our stocks are limited.

Once you have identified the items that are required in an area, the second phase of the 5S program is to Straighten and Organise. Equipment and items that are required for production or work should be stored in a location that is as close to the place they are required as possible. This saves time in locating the item and performing the work.
It's important to store tools and equipment correctly so they are out of the way and so that accidents and breakages are minimised. Part of this process may be having purpose-built shelving or racks designed to maximise and streamline storage.
The goal of this phase is to make the most commonly used equipment easy to locate. Over one week, this can shave hours from production time. Items that are needed less frequently can be stored away from the main workspace to avoid clutter.
5s – Labels and signage
Clearly marking shelves and storage areas increases efficiency because items will be much easier to find, especially for new staff or for items that are used less frequently. Create a standard for each area to refer to for identifying the location of every item. A visual standard is usually the best way to quickly identify where things belong and it should be obvious if something is missing or out of place,.
Fresh look
Using people from other sections to advise on improvements can really help. We can often be blind to obvious improvements when we work in a situation daily. A fresh set of eyes that are familiar with the work required may assist in identifying improvements to the way an area is organised.

DCMA Launches Affiliate Association Program
Contact Person
Angel Bosch
(786) 503-5375
Miami, FL. As part of her priorities during her term in office, Dr. Barbara Montford, President of the Dade County Medical Association (DCMA) announced the creation of a new Affiliated Medical Association Membership Program for the DCMA. This program, developed by Dr. Raul Ravelo and Dr. Jorge Marcos, co-chairs of the DCMA Membership Committee, will allow local healthcare organizations to join the DCMA as an association. "The goal of the program is to unify all of the physicians in Miami-Dade County to advocate for the benefit of our patients and our profession", expressed Dr. Ravelo.
This new membership category will provide participating organizations and their members, a series of benefits typically reserved for regular members of the DCMA. The first organization to join the DCMA as an Affiliated Medical Association is the Dominican Health Care Association of Florida, Inc. (DOHCAF).
DOHCAF was founded in January of 2011 with the goal of uniting the significant number of health care professionals who are either Dominican, were trained in the Dominican Republic, or have ties to the community and who live or practice in the State of Florida. DOHCAF President, Dr. Monica Dorvil-Bello, expressed her satisfaction on the new partnership and hopes this will bring more recognition to the Dominican health care community. "One of our goals is to advocate for an active role of members of our community in the Legislature, community boards, and other regulatory bodies. We think that through the DCMA we can have more access to these governance bodies", said Dr. Bello.
"The DCMA is working to expand this program and bring more members from different medical communities together so we can work together for the well being of our constituents in Miami-Dade County", said Dr. Montford. "We encourage all the medical organizations to join the DCMA, because working together our voice is stronger".

The line-up for last year's inaugural Ritual Union festival in Oxford was good, but this year's is even better - testament to the pulling power and connections of local promoter Simon Bailey of Future Perfect. I'm a big fan of Jane Weaver's latest album Modern Kosmology, while Gnod, Nadine Shah and Boy Azooga have all been hugely impressive in Cardiff in the last 12 months. At just £25 a ticket, it's also a bloody bargain.
So it's gutting to discover that, despite it still being four months away (20th October), I'm already booked up. Next year it is, then.

text: Today's Daily Briefing View the Archives Print Today's Stories Government shares the blame on Medicare upcoding, hospitals say Associations respond to HHS, DOJ warning on upcoding 9:59 AM - September 27, 2012 Email Save LinkedIn Twitter Facebook Several organizations over the past couple days responded to federal officials' warnings against using electronic health record (EHR) systems for "upcoding," which occurs when hospitals select higher-paying treatment codes to inflate medical bills. Background On Monday, Attorney General Eric Holder and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sent a strongly worded letter to hospital groups warning that the Obama administration will not tolerate hospitals' attempts to "game the system" by using EHR systems to boost Medicare and Medicaid payments. The letter stated that there is evidence that hospitals are using EHR systems to facilitate upcoding. A recent Center for Public Integrity investigation, as well as a New York Times analysis, found that EHR systems could be contributing to a rise in upcoding. Related: Feds pledge to prosecute hospitals for Medicare upcoding AHA response In response to federal officials' warnings about upcoding, American Hospital Association (AHA) President Rich Umbdenstock sent a letter urging CMS to offer better guidance on navigating complex rules and arguing that "duplicative" federal audits divert resources away from patient care. However, he added, "We agree that the alleged practices described in your letter, such as so-called 'cloning' of medical records and 'upcoding' of the intensity of care, should not be tolerated." AAHC response On Tuesday, Steven Wartman—president and CEO of the Association of Academic Health Centers (AAHC)—sent a response letter to HHS and the Department of Justice stating that the health care industry lacks adequate guidance on billing for some of the most common medical services. AAHC said that hospitals have requested such information from federal agencies to no avail. Wartman wrote that hospitals' concerns "have only been exacerbated by the increased uptake of electronic health records and the rapid changes in the delivery system necessary to accommodate more sophisticated technology." AAMC response In a statement provided to Politico, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) responded to federal officials' letter by saying that its members have "robust compliance programs" to combat health care fraud. AAMC in the emailed statement wrote, "Because most Medicare billing rules were written with paper records in mind, the AAMC believes that they would benefit from review and revision to reflect the particular compliance challenges posed by electronic records." AHIMA response Sue Bowman—senior director of coding policy and compliance at the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA)—responded to federal officials' letter by saying that cutting and pasting data into EHRs is not problematic as long as the practice is monitored. She said, "We recommend that hospitals develop standards for appropriate use of cut-and-pasting and then develop procedures to monitor use to make sure the policies are being followed." FAH response On Tuesday, Charles Kahn—president and CEO of the Federation of American Hospitals—sent a letter to Sebelius and Holder stating that there is no place for inappropriate coding or cloning of EHR data to obtain higher reimbursements. However, Kahn added that "any changes in coding reflect the fact that EHRs are enabling the development of more complete data sets regarding patient care and that these changes generally do not represent instances of inappropriate coding as suggested in your letter." NAPH response The National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems in a statement to Politico said, "Our hospitals and health systems adhere to high ethical standards and reject practices that might result in fraudulent or other improper claims." The association added, "We stand ready to help regulators understand fully the many aspects of [EHR] use in the hospital setting as they consider actions to ensure proper billing practices" (Norman/Millman, Politico, 9/26; Miliard, Healthcare IT News, 9/26; Carlson, Modern Healthcare, 9/25 [subscription required]; FAH letter, 9/25).

The points made by my tutor I wish to draw on for this response relate to her guidance regarding other printmakers I may find of interest.
Whilst I feel that I've floundered around a lot during the first half of this course my tutor has obviously managed to see something in my work which has provided her an insight into the visual styles I lean towards. When I received her report I was quite amazed at her insightfulness.
Angie Lewin:
The first artist she has pointed me towards is Angie Lewin.
I already own her book and am enthralled with her way of reproducing the world around her. Angie has mastered the art of simplification – but as I write the word 'simplification' I realise that is not all and I should comment on her stylized effects. She has not simply removed some of the aspects, so minimizing the images, but has added her own unique touches.
The plants and flowers she studies have had their extreme real-life detail removed and replaced with markings still totally recognisable, engaging and elegant. The elements have movement and life and although each component has been drawn flatly (with no shadowing effects) the layering of imagery forms a depth and complexity to each composition.
Above is a page out of her sketchbook, drawn and water-colour painted. You can see where she has trialled her colours before applying to the outline drawing.
This is the finished artwork. Bright, busy and vibrantly alive.
In a complete contrast to the soft image above, with the fronds and stems gently swaying in the breeze, we have Red Meadow – a very bold and dynamic piece with sharp outlines and a jagged harshness. Just gorgeous.
Every page of the book is a revelation and has something to delight over, with a fresh approach to each subject, and it's a valued part of my personal library.
Clare Curtis
Clare Curtis is a new person to me and I'm already loving what I'm seeing. Not only has she been proposed by my tutor at the end of this project but she is also a suggested artist to research (in the OCA course manual) for Project 8.
Explore Landing and what can be achieved with only three colours (black, grey and ochre). Having now cut quite a bit of lino myself I'm astounded at the fine detail throughout the piece – just concentrate on the cranes and the clock face alone.
This type of composition has the same feel as those I analysed recently by Edward Bawden. I find myself visually pulled from the front quay, past the wharf buildings, and into the heart of the town behind. There is so much to see, so much going on, and the spacial relationships and angles at which the individual components are sitting create volume and a clear foreground, middle ground and background. This looks to me like a reduction lino-print.
Above is her lino-cut Helius, not a reduction but rather a multiblock print. Here I see the translucency in inks that I'm also favouring. It's my view that only three colours have been used: a rich yellow, a translucent scarlet red and a translucent black. A lovely orange has been produced where the scarlet has overlapped the yellow and it's easy to see the colour layers under the black which alter the strength and hue of the black, creating a semi-shadow effect. Interesting that my final colour choices for project 8 also used yellow and scarlet to create the orange, with a deeper red later to bring out more red/orange.
Again I find a busy complex design with great interest and depth. As yet I haven't really worked with any perspective and depth in my compositions but it's something I should try.
Beached uses strong colours and produces a sharp, precise, clear-cut image with a little colour-mixing evident on the dark rocks, back right. It looks like some of the ink was gently wiped away before printing so the fawn/beige could come through.
In Summertime a completely different image results from the extreme translucency of the inks used. A clever way of showing the jug and glass contents as liquid – there are even ice cubes floating in the juice.
Clare Curtis is very versatile and produces images imaginatively using lino-cut methods and I'm excited by her work.
Who knows how my own work will evolve but I'm enjoying researching and discovering a range of artists working with lino creating many different outcomes.

Following on from last week's story about a sore throat, I now have some strange looking medicine to take and it has most definitely inspired THIS week's story, too!
As always, the story is also available to listen to as a podcast.
Sid's Medicine
Sid had been poorly in bed all day.
Nothing seemed to be going his way!
His head hurt, his throat hurt, his ears hurt as well.
Would he ever feel better?! Sid couldn't tell.
But Sid had been to see a doctor, with Dad.
Dad told the doctor that poor Sid felt bad.
Sid had come home with medicine to take.
He hoped swallowing it down would cure every ache!
But when he opened the bottle, Sid frowned.
All his hopes were turned upside down.
The medicine inside had a sickly sweet smell.
It didn't make Sid feel particularly well.
And so "I can't drink this," Sid said,
And he folded his arms and shook his head.
There had to be something else to take, surely?
If this was the only choice, he'd rather stay poorly!
The liquid in the bottle was yellow and pale.
"What if it makes me grow fur and a tail?!
What if I drink it and spots break out on my head?!"
Sid cried out, as he hid in his bed.
"What if I drink this and it makes me sick?
That's no good; I want to get better, and quick!
Can't I go back and see some other nurse?
If I take this medicine, I think I'll feel worse!"
Dad poured some medicine onto a spoon.
"I'm sure you'll be feeling right as rain, soon.
Come on Sid, open up nice and wide!"
Sid clamped his mouth shut, keeping the medicine outside.
"It looks disgusting," Sid said through pressed lips.
"I don't want to take the tiniest of sips.
What if it makes all my hair fall out?"
He added, his face wrinkled with doubt.
"It'll make you better," Dad promised his son.
"Take a spoonful, Sid, please. Just one!"
Sid pulled a face and turned his head away.
A defiant "no" was all he would say.
But Sid's head was really pounding, now.
He wanted to feel better - and soon - but how?
He took a deep breath and, pale and grim-faced,
Sid gave the medicine one tiny taste.
His eyes opened wide and he swallowed the lot.
"I thought it would be horrid, but it's really not!"
The medicine was actually far from gross!
In fact Sid couldn't wait for his next dose!
And sure enough, the medicine started to work.
Soon, Sid was sat up in bed with a smirk.
There were no nasty side-effects to worry about,
And before long Sid was well enough to play out.
Now Sid follows his doctors' advice to the letter!
He knows if he takes his medicine, he'll get better.
Whether it's gloopy, runny, yellow or brown,
Sid patiently swallows his medicine down.
And that's what all of you should do, too,
If you've got an infection, or even the Flu.
Just swallow that medicine, straight from the spoon,
And you'll be feeling much better, soon!

Even though that isn't really the kind of music I listen to, I can't deny that this song is pretty cool. It's calming and soothing but also super upbeat and optimistic. You gotta love that! :)
Tess, some of your outfits are honestly too amazing. I just wish your clothes could magically appear in my closet! Imagine all the fun I would have styling pieces like this dress...it's just the right blend of so many outfits. There's some cutesy little girlness, a little mod, a little goth, and a whole lot of stylishness. It's definitely something I could picture Alexa Chung wearing, which is one of the highest compliments I can pay a piece! I love that made your outfit more goth with your accessories. The Lennon glasses and simple hat are nice touches while the witchy black boots and choker make things a little darker. Red lipstick is the perfect hint of color for such an outfit and just makes things seem all the more glamorous.
Absolutely gorgeous! <3
that's really pretty :DReplyDelete

Tutor profile: Buddy G.
Subject: Pre-Calculus
What is the average rate of change for the function f(x)=x^2 on the interval [-1, 2]?
For any given function f(x) and an interval [a, b] in its domain the average rate of change for that function on that given interval is equal to [f(b) - f(a)] / (b-a). Thus, for this example we calculate the average rate of change to be [f(2) - f(-1)] / [2-(-1)] = [(2^2) - ((-1)^2)] / 3 =3/3 = 1 Note that this value gives the slope of the secant line going through the function's graph at the domain values of -1 and 2.
Subject: Trigonometry
Given a right triangle with an interior angle of 30, an adjacent leg length of 6 and an opposite leg length of 9; calculate the length of the hypotenuse without using the Pythagorean theorem.
First draw the picture and label all given values and let's label our unknown value for the length of the hypotenuse, x. We can solve this problem in two different ways with the information given. We can use either the sine or cosine trig functions. Let's use the sine function noting that sin(30)=1/2. [Note: make sure your calculator is set to degree mode] sin(30)=9/x giving us that x=9/sin(30)=9/(1/2)=18 So, our right triangle has a hypotenuse length of 18 units.
Subject: Calculus
Find the equation for the tangent line at x=3 for the function f(x) = 2x^2 +1.
The derivative of f(x) is f'(x) = 4x. Using our x-value of 3 gives us the slope of our tangent line by plugging into our formula for the derivative and gives us a point on the tangent line by plugging into our original function. So, f'(3)=4(3)=12 and f(3)=2(3)^2+1=19 which tells us the slope is 19 and a point on the line is (3, 19). Using point-slope formula we get the following: y-19=12(x-3) y-19=12x-36 y=12x-17 This is the equation we required.

Sweden is arguably the spiritual home of the online gambling industry. It's the effective birthplace of many of the leading operators and suppliers and it continues to lead the way in terms of innovation through the likes of Casumo and Dunder. So, it feels strangely appropriate that major changes ahead in Sweden could reshape the very soul of this online gambling world.
It's hard to overplay the importance of Sweden to the online gambling industry. From this small market we've seen Kindred, Betsson, NetEnt, LeoVegas, Casumo and early pioneers such as Boss Media and PokerRoom emerge, and it remains the gold standard for the dot.com sector in Europe. It's the market where new brands emerge in a relatively uninhibited operating environment with the additional benefit of zero tax. But that is all set to change.
On the face of it what is planned in Sweden is straightforward. The market is set to move from a confusing semi-regulated status to modern, fully regulated, liberalised online gambling legislation. But for arguably Europe's most important grey market to move towards a taxed and regulated regime is hugely significant for the sector and could set the stage for the next act in online gambling.
The Swedish government has proposed the regulations enter into force on 1 January 2019, with licence applications submitted from July 2018 and there is no reason to expect any Dutch-style delays. But it's not all good news, with the government saying somewhat ominously: "The central government will regain control of the Swedish gambling market." The intent seems to be less on the British model and more to create a market similar to its Danish counterparts where the state monopoly retains a significant portion of the overall spend and the regulator has the private sector on a fairly short leash.
"We are now proposing legislation entailing that operators receiving a licence to conduct activities targeting Swedish consumers must comply with Swedish rules. This will also give us the tools to keep those without a licence out," Minister for Public Administration Ardalan Shekarabi says. The law also proposes tightening the penalties for unlawful gambling activities and promoting unlawful gambling, with a new criminal classification, gambling fraud, introduced.
It's an attempt to seize control of one of Europe's most congested and lucrative gambling markets. There are dozens of sports betting operators and hundreds of casino brands battling for a share of the approximately €700m online gambling market in the country, and it's one perceived as having the lowest barriers of entry. As one of the few easy-to-access grey markets in Europe it attracts both locally focused operators and international brands attempting to increase their revenue, although many have underestimated how difficult a task this can be.
With a near 10 million population, it's punching well above its weight in terms of per capita spending already, but it's possible there is still the capacity for a big uptick in consumer spending on the back of a fully regulated market. Comparing it to the UK the per-capita spend is roughly a third lower at around €70 and using that crude metric suggests growth of as much as 30% from current levels is possible. But this is perhaps optimistic, and the final results are likely to depend significantly on the eventual market conditions.
One huge factor is the role of the two monopoly operators active in the market. Lottery operator Svenska Spel has been aggressive in its moves online with a poker room and a sports betting product, amid frequent requests to be permitted to offer casino games. Alongside this there is the horseracing monopoly ATG, which generated around €200m in online revenues in 2017. If ATG is included in the revenue estimates then the market is even larger, and closer to €900m annually, according to Svenska Spel's own estimates.
"We, and most of our colleagues in the industry, are cautiously positive to the proposed re-regulation. It will open up the market and increase transparency and options for players" – Cherry CEO, Anders Holmgren
Taking Denmark as an example, the per capita spend for 2017 is estimated to be around €80, compared to the circa €90 predicted from the UK market. It's reasonable to expect under non-restrictive market conditions for Sweden to at least match Denmark and it's quite possible it will surpass it and reach UK levels of per-capita spend. But it's not correct to assume this growth will all filter neatly into the hands of the private sector, or even to the 18% level you can argue is needed to maintain current revenue levels.
Svenska Spel reports, based on its own research, that it held a 21% share of the Swedish online gambling market in 2016, although this was mostly through lottery sales with a minority through online sports betting and poker. Horseracing monopoly
operator ATG was given a 23% market share, others 2% and the remainder, 54%, held by the grey market operators. However, discounting online lottery sales and horseracing this is a market with 80-90% in the hands of foreign operators. And Svenska Spel and ATG are going to want to claw back some of this "lost" revenue.
The big players currently are Kindred, bet365, Cherry, Betsson, LeoVegas, Mr Green and Casumo. LeoVegas is one of the largest casino operators in Sweden with €72.7m in revenues from the market in the rolling 12 months through September 2017. Its rival operators don't break down the region by country, but Kindred reported rolling 12-month casino revenues from the Nordics of £144.8m with £66.8m coming through sports betting. These are sizeable chunks of revenue and the gradual but inevitable move towards regulation has undoubtedly been one of the drivers to ramp up international revenues and decrease reliance on Swedish revenues over the past few years.
"From a Cherry financial perspective, Sweden is less important as it was a couple of years ago," Anders Holmgren, CEO of major Nordic operator Cherry, says. "Revenues are more evenly distributed from European countries, Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark and Norway) amounted to 40% of our 2016 revenues." But there is no doubt the market move is hugely important to the future success of not just Cherry but a number of other major names in the sector. So how is Holmgren feeling in advance of a potential tumultuous change?
"We, and most of our colleagues in the industry, are cautiously positive to the proposed re-regulation," he says. "It will open up the market and increase transparency and options for players, and create a potential for companies with high ethical standards and understanding of sustainable business models. Cherry has a long history, and since the company was established in 1963, we have been in the centre of the gaming/gambling industry in Sweden, and I am sure we will retain a very strong position."
With Cherry's deep history in the market his confidence is fairly well founded, but it's far less clear exactly who the winners and losers from a regulated Swedish market would be. It doesn't feel like a market where everyone can win. While there could be enough underlying market growth to sustain the imposition of 18% GGR tax and a more competitive market, it's a market where Svenska Spel is set to become a fierce competitor in online casino. And we should also see renewed interest from some of the larger gaming operators not currently active in Sweden.
Holmgren is certain Cherry will benefit from the regulated market, but is less certain on the final market conditions than he is on Cherry's place in it. "It is hard to predict, however I expect the market to continue to be competitive, and the smart and agile people and companies will be the winners," he says. "I expect all companies with a strong business model and products, as well as a committed management, to be able to make an entry. But they should be prepared for a tough market and need to take a long-term view."
So, what is the long-term view for Sweden? Even if we assume a number of smaller operators will pull back from the market it will remain fiercely competitive following regulation with not just the incumbent online giants, but the existing monopoly operators fighting for a share of the new regulated market. "I would expect the competition to increase in the near term, as many new players will try to enter the market. However, as we have many domestic and international companies already in the market, I foresee that the toughest competition will level out after a few years," Holmgren says.
There is certainly precedent for this. In Denmark what occurred initially was that the market was dominated by the ex-monopoly operator Danske Spil with only a handful of foreign operators, notably bet365 and Unibet, taking any meaningful share. Since 2012 the market has settled down and LeoVegas recently demonstrated its potential as a new market to launch into and take share, but it wasn't a simple process. And it may lead to some big changes in the overall market structure.
One aspect that seems almost inevitable is a thinning of the market with the rise in costs and competition forcing some more M&A activity. "As we have seen in similar situations, the M&A increases following a regulation, I expect the same to be true for Sweden," Holmgren says. We'd expect Kindred, Cherry and Betsson to lead the way as they look to protect share, but it's equally likely we will see a reverse of the current situation in the UK with British-focused firms looking to buy into the market.
But the big question is how the market is controlled by the Swedish regulator. Building a business for the long-term is only going to be possible with a regulatory regime that works with rather than against the new entrants. "Of course there will be a period of trial and error, and I trust the regulators will be a benign watch dog in the initial period, trying to guide rather than punish," Holmgren says. And if the Danish example is one to follow that is likely to be the case after some initial pushing and shoving for position.
And should Sweden manage a seemly transition that protects both the existing monopoly operators and placates the "offshore" market it may have a knock-on impact on the rest of the Nordics. Will Norway and Finland, which have clung rigidly to the rights of the local monopolies to control gambling so far, begin to loosen their approach to egaming? "They are for sure watching closely what is going on in Sweden and the Netherlands," Holmgren says.
But they will not be the only ones, and the transition period as we move towards regulation in Sweden is likely just as important as the final result. When it comes to online gambling Sweden's importance goes beyond its pure GGR contribution. "Sweden and the Nordic countries are important to Cherry for many reasons," Holmgren says. "Sweden is a very competitive and resourceful market, and this drives development in the gaming industry in all aspects, from a strong entrepreneurial scene where people can realise their ideas to a capital market with good understanding of the industry and potentials of each company."
And the death of grey market Sweden could be the final nail in the coffin of the dot.com sector in Europe. With Eastern Europe rapidly descending into tightly regulated local markets and the Netherlands moving towards regulation, those markets that remain look increasingly hostile to the industry. And from 2020, what is really left of the "dot.com" market? In many ways it's a bun fight over Germany and a lot of legal contortions to remain active in most of the other territories. In some ways the death of the Swedish unregulated market can be seen as proxy for the death of Europe's grey markets generally. And it's not clear yet if this is a good thing or not.

Buying gadgets via the traditional means of shops and online outlets is all well and good, but wouldn't it be wonderful if you could have your very own Q at hand to handle all of your gadget needs.
If you did have him around, he'd undoubtedly show you the very sneaky Spy Video Watch. It doesn't matter if you work for MI5 or McDonalds, everyone can benefit from having this on their wrist.
It must be quite an obvious camera though, yeah? No, actually it's beautifully hidden and incredibly small. The camera is in the number two on the watch's face, whilst the microphone and power indicator are so well hidden that I don't even know where they are – how good is that!
The watch has a rechargeable lithium ion battery which can record up to three hours video on its 2GB internal hard drive. It can also take still shots if you're short on time. Presented in its rather beautiful display box, it'll make the perfect gift for the spy (or nosey parker) in your life.
Getting the video evidence from your watch is really easy too, you simply plug in a USB lead and transfer the AVI format files to your computer, ready to save or upload online.
You can buy the Video Spy Watch now. It's quite pricey at $110 (£72.95), but think of all the money you could make, once you've recorded enough illicit conversations and incriminating evidence – not that we would ever condone that sort of behaviour of course.

What kind of animal can live in hot desert spring water or in the freezing water of the Antarctic? What animal can live in a shallow mud pond or the deepest part of the sea? Fish can. Antarctic icefish can live in water below 32° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius). Desert pupfish can live in water that is hotter than 100° Fahrenheit (40° Celsius).
Fish are animals that live and breathe in water. Some fish live in the fresh water of lakes and streams. Some fish live in the salt water of oceans. A few fish can live in both kinds of water.
All fishes are vertebrates (animals with backbones). Most fish have a covering of scales to protect their bodies.
There are about 25,000 species (kinds) of fishes. Fish come in all sizes. The huge whale shark can be 40 feet (12 meters) long. The tiny goby is only 0.4 inch (1 centimeter) long.
Most fish are called jawed fish. Hagfish and lampreys are jawless fish. They are more like eels. Eels are fish that look like snakes. Jawless fish do not have fins, scales, or jaws with teeth.
All other fish have jaws. There are bony jawed fish and cartilaginous jawed fish. Bony fish have skeletons made of bone. Cartilaginous fish have a softer material called cartilage instead of bone. Sharks, rays, and chimaeras are cartilaginous fish.
Most fish use their side, back, and tail fins for swimming. Fins are movable, fanlike parts. A fish moves through the water by swinging its tail fins back and forth. A fish uses its other fins to steer and to stop. Sometimes the other fins also help it go fast through the water.
Most fishes have bodies shaped like a torpedo. Their bodies are pointed at the head and at the tail. This streamlined body helps fish speed through water. Sailfish can swim as fast as 70 miles per hour (110 kilometers per hour).
Some fish have unusual shapes. Rays have flat, disc-shaped bodies. Large fins like wings go out from a ray's head. To swim, rays flap the fins.
Most fish also have swim bladders. They fill their swim bladders with air. Their air-filled swim bladders act like life jackets. They keep the fish from sinking to the bottom.
You have lungs for breathing. Most fish have gills for breathing. Gills have thin tubes that carry blood. As water goes into a fish's mouth it passes over the gills. The gills take oxygen out of the water. All animals must have oxygen to live. Blood in the gills picks up the oxygen and takes it everywhere in the fish's body. A waste gas called carbon dioxide also goes out of the fish's body through the gills.
The lungfish can breathe air. Most lungfishes rise to the water's surface to breathe. Some get oxygen from the water.
Fish have a great sense of smell. They use their sense of smell to find food. Most fish can see. Fish that live at the bottom of the sea in total darkness cannot see. Some do not have eyes.
Fish can also feel things in the water around them. They can feel things before they can see them. They can tell if a big, dangerous fish that might eat them is coming near.
Minnows can tell when another minnow is being attacked. The skin of the minnow in danger gives off a chemical. The chemical warns other minnows to escape. Skin chemicals also help fish swim in groups called schools. By sensing skin chemicals, the fish in a school can all turn, stop, or swim away at one time.
Most fish eat meat. Some eat tiny plants. Sharks and other big fish eat smaller fish. Some sharks eat seals.
Some fish have large, sharp teeth. Sharks and other big fish grab their prey and bite it. Other fish suck prey into their mouths and use smaller teeth to grind them up.
Some fish do not have teeth. Their mouths sift tiny plants and animals from the water. In the deep ocean where sunlight never reaches, the bodies of some fishes have chemicals that make a glowing light to attract prey.
Female fish lay eggs. Most kinds of female fish lay their eggs right in the water. Males fertilize the eggs. Some fish lay their eggs in nests on the bottom of a lake or ocean and guard the nests.
Some male and female fish mate. Female guppies and sharks keep the eggs in their bodies until the baby fish hatch. Female pipefish and sea horses give the eggs to the male to take care of.
Fish are very important to people. People all over the world eat fish. People catch fish to sell. They catch fish for sport. You can keep fish as pets.
In some parts of the ocean, people are catching too many fish. In some lakes and rivers, pollution kills fish. Governments pass laws to limit fishing and clean up polluted water. These laws help keep fish from disappearing.

"Plans to take back control of UK fisheries the moment Britain leaves the EU appear to have been abandoned in the face of united EU opposition, dealing a significant blow to the ambitions of the environment secretary, Michael Gove.
Gove put repatriating control of fisheries at the heart of his post-Brexit strategy. But as the negotiations to secure the terms of a transition deal go to the wire in Brussels, the UK has backed down."

There are many different types of research paper examples. Students turn to these examples, usually online, to give them ideas about how to write their own original work. However, they can also be found in libraries and in a variety of contemporary writing publications. The research paper examples serve to help students generate engaging, relevant papers.
Research paper examples are intended to serve as guides for students rather than as actual sources of material. They are primarily used for structural examples, as most professors are not as concerned with a student's point of view on a subject as much they are with the methods by which the student arrived at his or her perspective. The ones online tend to be far more varied, both in terms of topic and stylistically. The good ones will contain relevant keywords and main points that the student can use to generate his or her own high quality material. Not all research paper examples are good to use for assignments. Many, in fact, are plagiarized material that is useless to the student and that can, in fact, get the student in deep academic trouble, if used.
QualityEssay.com can provide excellent research paper examples for students who need them, or, if the student prefers, our staff of professional writers can research, organize and compose a complete custom designed research paper for the student who needs this service.

text: Yu Qing Tan 0 Posted April 11, 2015 My newly built com doesnt work, the system is stuck in a constant on and off loop, occasionally there will be a beep but usually it will shut down before that. I'm not sure if the power supply's the problem, but the mobo, rams, graphics card all seem to be fine as their fans and lights are all powered up for that few seconds, i suspect it might be the power supply but this is a new system so i'm not very sure. I tried to start the cpu without the rams but it still goes into a on and off loop, any suggestions to help this? I don't really want to go back down to the shop to fix it as i dont have the time...

Leg Vein Removal
Leg vein removal in St. Albert, Alberta
For leg vein removal, we use the Elite+ laser system. Elite+ uses two wavelengths (755nm Alexandrite and 1064nm Nd:YAG) to reduce the appearance of red, blue and purple leg veins. The Nd:YAG wavelength uses selective light to target the blood in your veins. Your veins will absorb light from the laser and become heated to the point that they shrink and fade.* This coagulation process causes your blood vessels to retreat from the surface of your skin. No matter what kind of skin type you have, Elite+ can remove the spider veins on your legs.*
The causes of spider veins
Spider veins often become visible when your blood is prevented from flowing in a normal way. Your heart pumps oxygen and nutrient-infused blood through your arteries to your entire body. Simultaneously, your veins carry blood from different parts of your body back to your heart. Normally, veins have valves that route blood in one direction. If one of these valves does not properly close, blood can leak back into the lower part of a vein, instead of flowing toward the heart. As blood continues to collect in that vein, its walls become weakened. The vein will then grow larger as it takes in more blood and it will appear on the surface on the skin.
What to expect from treatments
When you come in for an Elite+ treatment, we will apply gel to your legs. This gel will protect your skin from the heat of the laser. Your A2 Medispa provider will then use the Elite+ hand piece to make several passes over the visible veins on your legs. Our patients often describe the feeling of the laser as being similar to rubber band snapping against their skin. But for the most part, the procedure is fairly comfortable. The Elite+ laser system has a built-in cooling system to prevent any overheating or damage to your skin. Treatments can last anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the targeted area(s).
What to expect from the results
With 1 treatment, many patients notice improvements to their legs.* Multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve your desired results, however. After your appointment, some veins will disappear while others can become purple or grey in appearance. This is common and the change in colour usually fades in about a week. During your consultation, Aleesha Ayoob will determine the number of treatments that you'll need. On average, 3-5 treatments at 3-4 week intervals are needed to achieve optimal results.*
It should also be noted that Elite+ cannot cure vein diseases, as spider veins can be progressive. Elite+ may be able to stabilize your condition and prevent the progress of vein diseases.
Before and after photos
*Individual results may vary; not a guarantee.
Request a consultation at A2 Medispa
If you live in or around St. Albert, Alberta, and you suffer from unsightly spider veins, schedule an appointment at A2 Medispa. Aleesha Ayoob will assess your skin and create a custom treatment plan for you. To get started, fill out the consultation request form on our site or call (780) 722-1061 to speak to a member of our team.

Class: Anatomy Bootcamp C: 3d Anatomy for Artists (Sculpting)
Instructor: Joshua Jacobo & Johanna Schwaiger
Level: Intermediate, Advanced
Time: 5:30pm-8:30pm (3 hours)
Dates: 8 Sundays: June 24 - August 12
Price: $599.00 (All materials are provided including clay, armature, base to keep and sculpting tools to borrow)
Location: Art Mentors Studio: 16182 Gothard St Suite G, Huntington Beach, CA 92647
Anatomy Bootcamp: Traditionally, artists knew the importance of understanding human anatomy to create beautiful and powerful works. Art Mentors is committed to doing our part in rebuilding this rewarding and inspirational training approach for modern art students with top living art anatomy instructors and leveraging cutting-edge educational technology and resources.
The Anatomy Bootcamp is a unique and intensive 8-Sundays Summer Training program designed to give artists a jump start on their anatomical knowledge. Artists who enroll in both classes in the Bootcamp will be studying from 3:00 pm to 8:30 pm Sundays in a unique, fun, challenging, and entirely immersive learning experience.
In Anatomy Bootcamp C: 3d Anatomy for Artists students will be sculpting scale clay models of the anatomical structures lectured on in the previous Part B.
After a 30 minute break following the Part B lecture, students will learn from Joshua and world-renowned sculptor Johanna Schwaiger how to take that day's anatomical information and bring in into three-dimensions by building clay sculptures.
Using individual iPads pre-loaded with the day's 3D anatomical model, you will spend three hours constructing carefully prepared anatomical models.
Note: all materials and utensils needed for this class are included in the price.
In this class, you will be working in 1/2 and 3/4 life scale, building fragments or sections of the figure. This larger format allows you to focus on layering and relationships of anatomical forms and masses in structures such as bones, joints and the specific origins and insertions of muscles.
Joshua and Johanna will be available for the entire class to demonstrate, offer guidance, and critique student work from a proportional, anatomical, and sculptural perspective. Each week, you will take your clay models home and use the 3D model viewer on your internet-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer to complete your week's assignment. At the beginning of each class, Joshua and Johanna will spend time reviewing students homework before continuing with the new week's content.
This class is recommended to students who have some anatomy under their belt and is not suggested without the accompanying lecture portion of Part B.
Clay, armatures, and sculpting bases will be provided to students as part of the price of the class.
Sculpting tools will be available during class for students to borrow but students are recommended to purchase simple tools for working on homework. Students are responsible for:
• Sketchbook/Notebook for note taking • An internet-enabled computer, tablet, or phone device for view 3D files for homework assignments • Tracing paper for assignment feedback and critique
Joshua Jacobo is a Californian fine artist, educator, activist, anatomist, writer, and entrepreneur. Joshua draws and sculpts, focusing primarily on the figure, portrait, and animals. Joshua's work is influenced by the High Renaissance masters, as well as the Mannerists, Dutch and Northern European Masters, and some Golden Age illustrators. Recently Joshua has begun more intensive studies of the works of Bauhaus and abstract expressionist artists. Joshua is an anatomist, creating one of the most accurate three-dimensional sculptures of the anatomy of the human head and neck ever developed and is currently developing a full standing anatomy figure sculpture to be sold as a reference product for artists and medical professionals. Joshua had his first one-person show featuring thirty drawings in Midland Texas in 2012, only one year after beginning his full-time study of art. In 2012 Joshua also founded the online art school, New Masters Academy as an effort to bring top-level professional art instruction to artists around the world at an affordable price. Today New Masters Academy has thousands of students and is followed by millions on social media. Joshua and New Masters Academy were prominently featured in the popular Penguin book, "The Automatic Customer" by John Warrilow. Joshua was involved in the original "Occupy Wallstreet" political movement in New York in 2012 where he demonstrated and raised funds for supplies for the Zuccotti Park camp and reported on the police response for NationofChange. Joshua went on to organize with other political movements including End Dark Money, Strike Debt, End Koch Power, Black Lives Matter, and most recently Joshua spent time at the Oceti Sakowin camp at Standing Rock, North Dakota for the resistance against the seizure of native lands by the oil industry. In 2013 Joshua led a campaign that raised $500,000 worth of distressed debt from students and poor American families and abolished it outright. Today, Joshua manages several companies, in the art, education, and tech spaces and retains his board seat at NationofChange. Joshua is currently developing new artist pipelines for his large-scale sculptural work and teaches drawing for Art Mentors in Orange County California. Johanna Schwaiger started to learn sculpting in Austria at the age of 15, when she enrolled the HTL technical school for professional crafts and arts of the sculpture department in Hallein. She learned wood carving stone carving and clay modelling. After graduating, Johanna studied Art History for four years at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg with an emphasis on baroque sculpture. During her studies as an Art Historian Johanna took onto several commissions for figurative sculpture for private use and memorials for public spaces, such as town squares, graveyards, portraits and a café house in Chicago. At the age of 26, Johanna decided to deepen her understanding of the human form and went to Florence Italy for three years to study classical sculpture at the Florence Academy of Art. During that time, she studied anatomy at the Russian academy in Florence Italy. After she finished her studies, Johanna was invited to the Fine Art Center in New York Sag Harbor, where she taught portrait and figurative sculpting for one year. After that year at 2013 she returned to Austria where she started to show her work at the Galerie Schloss Wiespach in Salzburg and became part of a group of sculptors that show frequently figurative sculptures at the Sculpture Center "Kunstinsel". Later that year Johanna was invited to be one of the forty worldwide selected sculptors who created the biggest Mahatma Gandhi Memorial in Mumbai India. Each of them sculpted two lie size figures that represented the Dandi Marchers of 1938. Since 2014 Johanna is working as an instructor at the sculpture school HTBLA in Salzburg where she teaches figurative sculpture and nude drawing.She also takes onto commissions and holds a permanent studio space at the Galerie Schlos Wiespach.
Sales are non-refundable but in some cases we can switch a student's enrollment in a class that has not yet started to another class of equal or lesser value. New Masters Academy reserves the right to cancel, limit enrollment, substitute instructors or models, reschedule or modify a class with notice to enrolled students. If a class is canceled enrolled students will be given a refund. If an instructor is unable to finish a class term a refund will be given to students at a pro-rated amount.

We live in an increasingly digital society. The Internet, social media and Artificial Intelligence influence the daily life of users and play a fundamental role in all aspects of society, not least the world of industry.
"Teaching" machines to perform tasks previously reserved for human beings makes production processes faster, more effective and potentially error-free. It makes life easier for us, and now companies are also discovering the potential of AI in the development and management of their marketing strategies.
Analyzing scenarios and applications of these technologies is in fact essential to open new business avenues, transforming marketing making it more modern and effective.
SEOWorkshop, always at the forefront of technological innovation, will be among the speakers at the second international conference on "Data Science and Social Research" to be held today at the University of Milan-Bicocca and tomorrow, February 5, at the University of Milan IULM. During these two days, experts from different disciplines, from Data Mining to Machine Learning, will discuss the challenges and opportunities of the "data revolution" with front panels and round tables.
On this occasion SEOWorkshop will present its new SEO AI project. This new tool puts Artificial Intelligence at the service of business, studying the mechanisms of Google's ranking and helping companies to find the right keywords and search queries to optimize and get the most from their website.
Jacob Zucchi, Head of Digital Strategy at SEOWorkshop, will show the full potential of this tool on February 5 at 11.45 am during the panel moderated by Guido Di Fraia, Pro-Rector for Innovation and Communication at IULM University.

First of all, now I notice that the "new DE server" in fact has the same domain name as the older server de-1.serverip.co but has a different IP address. So thank you for replacing the server in Germany.
However, on the other hand, I can't create an account at nl-3.serverip.co, because it shows the following:
[NS]Failed to create your account, reason : Error, Please contact Administrator !
Now since there are only one DE server available (ignoring de-3.serverip.co), there are in fact only 5 servers in the Europe server list https://www.fastssh.com/page/secure-shell-servers/continent/europe/, but 3 of them are unavailable or cannot be connected: nl-3.serverip.co, fr-2.serverip.co, and nl-4.serverip.co. In other words, more than half of the SSH servers in Europe are down.
Can you please reset or restore them (or at least the nl-3.serverip.co or nl-4.serverip.co)? Thank you.

Tonight I'm feeling full. We celebrated Portland and a big congrats to Joni and Drew for opening their Bottle & Bottega Portland studio!
We drank, ate, painted and raised money for a worthy charity, ACAP.
Of course I prefer to always see the bottle half full but tonight was certainly a full on celebration. Like being on top of a mountain you might say. Maybe even a Mt. Hood.
Welcome PDX! Congrats! Cheers! Clink! Click!
More tomorrow.
