With the launch of its own incubator—MasterCard Labs—in 2010, the company has generated several successful in-house startups including Simplify Commerce, Shop This! and QkR.
QkR made its first appearance in 2014 at Melbourne’s Mentone Primary School. The mobile payment app was a partnership with Commonwealth Bank to allow parents to pay for meals, uniforms, and other school expenses with their mobile devices.
About a year later, MasterCard partnered up with Wagamama to tackle the one thing every restaurant has in common: the bill. It takes on average 12 minutes between the moment a customer asks for the bill and completing payment at a restaurant, a considerably long process that doesn’t go along with today’s consumer expectations.
So, QkR made a comeback as Qkr by Masterpass. By using the app to check into the restaurant location, users are given a table code that enables them to see their bill. They can now use their smartphones to order and pay for meals, split the bill, give a tip, and just walk out of the restaurant when they’re done.
Qkr first launched in Colombia, Australia, Mexico, and the UK, expanding to Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Singapore, South Africa, and the United States in 2017. You can now also make payments at gas stations, parking lots, stadiums, vending machines, and more, with the options to skip lines by ordering in advance and to request takeaway and deliveries.
Qkr! with Masterpass is an excellent way for businesses to ensure they stay top of mind with their clientele thanks to innovative push technology that makes marketing, promotions and customer engagement easy and effective."
Retailers are able to use Qkr’s application programming interfaces (APIs) to create targeted promotions and rewards schemes, view and manage menus, product inventory and pricing, and get reporting information in real time.

I hear all the time how valuable and important it is for children to be involved with volunteer work, and I agree. It teaches them to look beyond themselves and gives them a small taste of whatever that warm cozy feeling is inside when we do something to make the world a better place. Armed with that tidbit of parental wisdom, I marched my family off to a local homeless and rehabilitation shelter last year. My then four-year-old son promptly began his static-cling routine around my legs, rendering us completely useless to serve in any way. Oh, well. Some wisdom you learn, and some wisdom you earn, as I always say.
Undaunted, I was determined to give my son the volunteer experience I felt he so richly needed. Given our past track record, it was clear I needed to find something that would engage him. It didn’t take long, really. I simply watched him play for a little while, and the solution to my parental dilemma hit me like a lightening bolt…animals!
This made total sense for our family for two reasons. First, from the moment he began speaking, our only child has referred to our two dogs as his little brother and little sister, even though they were residents of our household years before he came along. Second, my husband and I have a special place in our hearts for the Paulding County Animal Shelter after adopting our first furry child, a beagle named Polly, there in 1998. That is a neat story in itself.
My husband’s birthday fell during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, and I wanted to do something really special for him. I knew he had wanted a beagle since he was a little boy. And I knew he would never expect to get one for a gift. My plans firmed up, I set out to surprise my unsuspecting husband with a dog crate containing assorted dog paraphernalia, complete with a big red bow. I stopped short of actually bringing a dog home, knowing that picking out our perfect pet together would be part of the fun. Then, on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, I was sharing my exciting plans with a co-worker. Knowing she was a regular volunteer at the Paulding County Shelter, I asked her if she thought they might have some beagles. She suggested I give the shelter a call, which I did much later that day. I had gotten caught up in a project at work and almost forgot all about making that phone call. Actually, I thought I would just call the next day when I had more time. But later that afternoon, my mind drifted back to the upcoming excitement, and I decided to take a break and make the call. I inquired about beagles and was met with a hesitant pause, then, “Yes. Yes, we do! We have a female about two years old.” I explained the whole birthday surprise plans and asked if they would mind holding her until Saturday, the next day they would be open after the holiday. Again I was met with a brief silence. “Um…yeah, I think we can do that,” was the eventual answer. As far as I was concerned, it was in the bag! All I had to do was wait until Saturday.
My husband was thrilled with his new crate! Well, I should say that he was thrilled about what would be inhabiting it soon. Saturday came and we drove to the shelter as soon as it opened. Driving up to the shelter we were both taken aback at how small it was, especially in comparison to the Cobb County Animal Shelter. We parked in the equally tiny parking lot, both secretly hoping the dog waiting for us inside would be coming home with us. We received a warm greeting at the front desk and were led down a narrow hallway to a door in the back. Once the door was opened, I was overwhelmed by the noise. There were chain-link pens lining both sides of the aisle. All of them contained dogs of various breeds and sizes, seemingly vying for our attention. Half-way down the aisle, our attention was directed to a pen on the left. It was the beagle. Jeff instantly knelt down, his hands reaching through the chain-link to receive a warm and endearing lick. I just stood and stared, blinking back tears. You see, I had looked at the tag on her pen, learning that her name was Miss Polly, and learning that her euthanization date had been scheduled for the very day I had just happened to call the shelter.
Miss Polly stole our hearts, of course, and remains an important member of our family. We will never forget the love and grace with which the officers and volunteers at the Paulding County Shelter cared for those animals. It was apparent in everything they did. And we were touched at how they were just about as excited as we were about the adoption of Miss Polly. The shelter may be small, and lacking in funding, but it is run by people with some of the biggest hearts we have ever encountered. Unfortunately, big hearts cannot generate the space and supplies necessary to cover all the needs of the shelter. That’s where we can help.
Is it sad to go to the shelter? Absolutely. Is it hard to walk away without adopting at least one new pet? Sometimes. The key is to look past yourself and your own fears and emotions. Focus instead on the need at hand. The way I look at it, these animals have had enough people turn their backs on them. I don’t want to add to that number. Especially when there is so much that can be done.
My husband, my five-year-old son, and I volunteer at the Paulding County Animal Shelter fairly regularly. Not nearly as often as we would like to, of course. Depending on what needs to be done, we walk the dogs, play with the puppies, give out fresh water and food, wash dogs, clean cages, and generally help out wherever we are needed. Is it safe? I’ve never had a reason to believe it was not. We are never in direct contact with dangerous or aggressive animals. The most severe thing we have experienced is a light scratch from an overzealous puppy. In my opinion, it’s a lot safer for kids to volunteer at an animal shelter than to sit on their little behinds playing video games for hours.
Is it clean? Well, as clean as an animal shelter can be. Animal waste is removed promptly and thoroughly, and both the animals and their cages are cleaned regularly. Still, I recommend wearing old clothes and shoes. You wouldn’t wear your Sunday best to a barn, would you?
Volunteer forms are required to be filled out and on file for all volunteers. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a guardian at all times. Groups are welcome to volunteer, but please call the Director, Tracy Thompson, to let her know when you plan on coming and how many will be in your group.
There are other ways to support the shelter, besides volunteering your time. First, make sure your own pets are spayed and neutered, and properly cared for. Second, the shelter is in constant need of food (dog, cat, bird), towels, blankets, paper towels, newspaper or shredded paper, flea/tick or baby shampoo, pet toys, treats (dog and cat), bales of wheat straw, combs, brushes, bleach, laundry detergent, dish soap, alcohol, peroxide, gauze, cotton balls, and office supplies (sharpies, pens, colored copier paper).
In addition, monetary donations can be made through the Humane Society to one of two funds. The Medical Fund is used to care for stray animals that are hit by cars, as well as any animals that are in extreme medical need. The Spay/Neuter Fund benefits Paulding County residents by subsidizing or paying in full the cost of spaying and neutering, depending on financial need.
How do you do this every week?"It’s not so much the faces in the cages, but being able answer questions and find the right pet for the right family."
What should I do if I encounter a stray?"If possible, take them to the shelter or call Animal Control to pick them up. Someone (their owner) might be looking for them."
What can I do about an animal that has been struck and either injured or killed on the road?
Should cats be allowed to roam free outside?"People don’t realize this, but the leash law pertains to cats, too. There are coyotes in Paulding County, so it’s not a good idea to let them out."
Is there anything else you would like people to know?"For people who insist on purchasing a dog from a breeder, we have purebred dogs here. They may not be AKC registered, and they cannot be bred, but unless you are a breeder, wouldn’t you like to save a life?"
If you would like to help the Paulding County Animal Shelter by volunteering, donating supplies or financial resources, or adopting a new family member, give them a call at 770-445-1511. The shelter is located at 779 Industrial Boulevard North, Dallas, Georgia, 30132. Operating hours are 12pm-5pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and 2pm-5pm on Sunday.
Please don’t look at this as a hopeless cause. Just because you may not be part of the problem, doesn’t necessarily mean you are part of the solution. I invite you to push past your comfort zone. Let’s work together to build a future where all of God’s creatures can thrive. Let’s help our children understand the importance of that, and their own significant role in making it happen. These creatures have a lot to teach us, and we have a lot to learn. See you at the shelter.
Take I-20, exit 44 (Thornton Rd) north (toward Austell). Thorton Road changes names a number of times, but at 17.7 miles turn right at GA-61/Nathan Dean Blvd.	Take this for .7 miles and turn left at Merchants Dr. Travel.5 miles to Legion Rd and turn right on GA-381.

MARIETTA, Ga., Mar 24, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A dental practitioner portion a Marietta and East Cobb area seeks to remind people of a disproportion a pleasing grin can make in high-profile veteran and amicable circumstances. According to Dr. Clifford Morton of Morton General and Implant Dentistry, even teeth splotch or veneers can assistance bustling professionals make a improved sense in photographs, during open events and in a business world. “Cosmetic dentistry doesn’t only raise external coming — it also provides a poignant boost to people’s courage and self-esteem,” says a dentist.

The Los Angeles cosmetic dentist states that straightening a disproportionate grin not usually creates people feel good and some-more confident, it creates it easier for them to mislay damaging bacteria, that can lead to serious medical problems.
Dentistry is one of those professions where many people consider a tangible “work” finished by any dentist is similar. After all, a stuffing is a stuffing is a filling, right?

The speculation is that Apple is designing a new iWatch that connects to iPhones, relays messages, and displays status alerts. But would the company that reinvented the computer, the phone, and the way we consume media be aiming so low?
Ever since the iPod Nano was slightly less Nano’d just a few months ago, there’s been increased speculation about an iWatch to replace it. Now there’s chatter about a new device — an iWatch, perhaps — from Apple for specifically that purpose.
Nano is Apple’s smallest iPod with a screen, bigger than only the Shuffle, and the sixth generation has been used extensively as a watch with the simple addition of a wristband. At 1.55-inches square, the Nano was perhaps a little awkward but an excellent beginning — and perhaps a precursor — to the Pebble smart watch.
That’s no longer an option with the seventh generation iPod Touch, which sports a 2.5-inch multitouch screen and a longer, rectangular body.
The speculation is that Apple will be releasing a product in the next six months, possibly with an Intel chip, that communicates with your smartphone via Bluetooth. If so, it needs to be much more than a watch, and much more than a way to communicate with the device that is already just a few inches away in your pocket.
In other words, it needs to be a personal quantification device for the masses.
There are currently 505 tools listed in the Guide to Self-Tracking Tools on Quantified Self. Jawbone’s UP, Fitbit’s err bit, Nike’s FuelBand, the Basis Band, the Zeo “personal sleep coach,” the Stresswatch, the Adidas miCoach and dozens more are devices built to measure, track, and encourage you to modify fitness activities.
This is more than a fad — it’s a movement. And while smartphones like Apple’s iPhone are often components of these systems, they’re just one component in an ecosystem that includes sensors, apps, online social experiences, and analytics. Apple could be so much more, if it wanted to play in this market.
As The Next Web mentions, 2013 could be the year when wearable computing leaves the geek and enthusiast community. And isn’t popularizing and improving emerging technologies what Apple does best?
The iWatch is just a rumor right now, but I’m hoping it’s more … much more.

WASHINGTON — Weeks after a white supremacist shot and killed a guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington in 2009, White House senior adviser David Axelrod showed up at his favorite Chicago Jewish deli with an entourage of Secret Service agents.
In the past, he had no protection. But in July 2009, it was different. He was spotted with the added protection at Manny’s, a cafeteria-style deli on South Jefferson Street.
At the time, few knew why he suddenly was getting protection, though it was clear plenty of citizens around the nation were up in arms over President Barack Obama’s push for health care reform.
But now Time magazine reports that the Holocaust museum shooter, James von Brunn, who shot and killed an African-American guard, also had someone else on his list: David Axelrod. The magazine suggests the threat prompted the new protection detail.

text: The story follows a student from Langley High, located 1.7 miles from CIA headquarters (I'm not sure why the precise distance is mentioned), whose father is captured in Russia and thus disavowed as a CIA agent. The student is then forced to team with an undercover CIA agent teacher from the high school and goes on a mission of revenge. Though Roven has big franchise under his belt that include Christopher Nolan's lauded Batman series and Zack Snyder's forthcoming take on Man of Steel, Gartner has had successes of his own with Get Smart and The Bank Job.

Can we predict the feature given only a single observation? For instance, given that the price of a Bitcoin has doubled in the last two months, what will the price be in another two months?
Well, the only way to make a prediction is by making some assumptions. I know very little of economics, but since the value of a Bitcoin has dramatically rising for quite some while now, it seems reasonable to me that it will keep increasing. Furthermore, from my perspective, I have no reason to assume that the price will increase faster or that the Bitcoin craze will mellow out. So assuming that the trends will keep up and the price went in October from about USD 4,000 to USD 10,000 in December, it seems like a good bet that a Bitcoin will be worth around USD 1,5000 in February. You can spot the fallacy here: of course at some point the prices will stagnate (or pop like a bubble)! But to me, it looks unlikely that the trend will change right now. This idea is similar to the Doomsday argument.
Another prediction: my nephew is born last August. Is it likely that, in addition to the four months that he has been around on this planet, he still has four months to go? Let us hope not! My grandmother on the other hand is close to ninety years old, healthy as she is, I fear she won’t make it to 180. Apparently, we have different expectations for the distributions of peoples age than for the value of cryptocurrencies.

One of the world’s biggest colonies of penguins is at risk from a volcano that has erupted on their small sub-Antarctic island in a British overseas territory.
British scientists fear that Mt Curry’s eruption could have a serious impact on the 1.2m chinstrap penguins and nearly 200,000 macaroni penguins based on Zavodovski, one of the South Sandwich islands.
The colony of chinstraps is the largest of the species in the world, but there are now fears over their fate due to the ash and smoke drifting from the volcano. It erupted in March and is still spewing columns of smoke that have been captured by satellite images and fishermen.
The island is so remote that experts at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) say it will be impossible to assess what impact the eruption has had until an expedition visits in December 2016 or January 2017, but the risk to the penguins is that at worst they could be buried alive in ash, burned or suffer breathing difficulties.
The danger to the 55cm tall chinstraps comes from the fact the eruption began during their moulting season. During this time, which can last six weeks from the first to the last bird in the colony, the penguins are not waterproof and cannot go into the water.
He added that consequences for the population could be “very significant”, a warning echoed by BAS geographer Dr Peter Fretwell who said the impact on the penguins could be serious.
The volcano is hundreds of metres from the penguin colonies to the east, south and north of the island, and the ash is being blown eastwards by prevailing winds.
Chinstrap penguins are a sub-Antarctic species that live close to, but not on, the continent. There are around 7.5m globally, and they live for 20-plus years, breeding two eggs each year, with chicks taking around three to four years to mature to adults. They nest on the surface of the ground, and feed on krill and fish.
Satellite images show Mt Curry is intermittently still blowing out plumes of smoke. It is the first time the island’s volcano has been witnessed erupting.

A new Obama administration policy will give low-income high schoolers access to the federal financial aid system.
Thousands of low-income high school students will be able to use federal grant money to pay for classes at local colleges, the Obama administration announced Monday. In a first-of-its-kind move, some needy students will be able to access Pell Grants early to pay for "dual-enrollment" classes at 44 public and community colleges across the country. High school students have typically been prohibited from using federal financial aid.
The change is aimed at helping to close a longstanding gap between rich and poor students in college attendance and completion. Under the new policy, poor students can get a head-start on their college classes: a chance to begin adjusting to college and transferrable credits that could save them as much as a semester's worth of tuition fees farther down the line.
Most American public high schools offer students the opportunity to take classes at local colleges through "dual enrollment," and some 1.4 million high school students took the classes last year. But the Education Department says poor students are underrepresented in the programs. That is in part because cost can be a huge barrier: half of students have to pay for the courses themselves, and most have to pay for expensive books and materials.
The new initiative will allow as many as10,000 high schoolers who qualify for Pell Grants, the federal government's loan-free financial aid program for low-income students, to access those grants before they matriculate in college.
It could have unintended consequences. The Pell grant isn't an unending supply of money: it lasts only six years, the average time it takes most Americans to finish a bachelor's degree. Students who start using their Pell in high school could run out of money before they graduate.
But the hope is that taking college classes in high school will help students graduate faster. Research shows that taking dual-enrollment courses in high school helps keep low-income students enrolled in college and makes them more likely to get a degree.

When it comes to putting together your demo show reel as a voice artist, it’s sometimes difficult to know exactly what you can do to make it stand out from the crowd. Ensuring you’re the one who producers and decision makers are drawn to and want to use for their project is important. So how do you do this? How long should it be? What should you include? These are all common questions asked by voice artists and ones which we’re perfectly positioned to answer and offer guidance upon.
Above all else, your show reel or demo is your CV in the world of voice acting and, as such, if you want to succeed and win work, you need to make sure it stands out and portrays you as a professional, flexible and competent voice artist. If you’re struggling to know which way to go with your demo, don’t worry, here’s our top 5 industry secrets for recording and putting together the perfect show reel and standing out from the crowd.
Perhaps the most important consideration to ask yourself is whether or not you’re actually ready to record your demo? Far too many voice artists spend time and money putting something together when the truth is, they’re not quite at that stage. It’s often all too tempting to want to rush things to start attracting work, however there’s a great argument for waiting until you’re confident and you’re more likely to win the work. Ultimately, a poor demo from an artist who isn’t ready to take on work won’t do you any favours and can significantly hinder your career.Producers and decision makers will be listening to other demos, and if your voice isn’t as strong (or you aren’t able to come across as well) as others, it’ll be bad news and a real struggle to land jobs.Take the time to listen to other demos and perhaps even arrange an initial discussion with a voice over agency to determine the level you’re at and whether you’re better investing, at this stage, in further vocal coaching rather than a demo. It’s surprising how many voice artists at the start of their career fail to recognise the importance of professional coaching and if you’re not quite ready to record, additional lessons are the most effective way to get to that stage as soon as possible. This will improve enunciation markedly and better prepare you both for recording your demo and for taking on client work.
A great producer and studio can often be the magic ingredients and whilst they certainly won’t be able to produce a great demo from a poor voice artist, they’ll be able to work wonders with a competent, experienced individual. Choose your studio and producer carefully, taking the time to research and listen to other work they’ve put together, paying particular attention to both the recording quality and that of the edit. Does the demo flow and sound like a professional production or can you, as an artist yourself, pick faults in it?Spend the time doing your research and, so long as you’re ready, you’ll be well on your way to working with the right team and ending up with a professional show reel, which represents you perfectly.On the other hand, always trust your instincts. Do you get on with a producer having had a chat with them on the phone or prior to the session? If you’re excited to work with them then fantastic, if not, consider looking elsewhere.
The reality is that putting together a demo doesn’t come cheap. If you want the best studio and the best producer, trust us when we say it’s worth every penny! Producers and decision makers can identify a ‘budget’ demo a mile off and, whilst the core aim is to demonstrate your vocal abilities, if you’re willing to invest in yourself it shows your dedication and passion.Whilst there’s the temptation to go for a ‘cheaper’ studio or producer, ask yourself whether you’ll really save in the long run or whether you’ll regret the decision upon receiving the ‘finished’ product and need to go back to square one and re-record somewhere else?
Your demo is your opportunity to really show decision makers how flexible you are as a voice artist, demonstrating that you’re able to take on a whole host of different roles in a number of different styles and situations, whilst still coming across as professional and well spoken. The most successful voice artists can adapt themselves to a multitude of different projects and that’s what producers want. They want the confidence that if they choose you for their project, you’ll be able to deliver to their brief, almost regardless what it is they ask of you.
Whilst it’s important that you showcase your professionalism and flexibility, it’s also important that you’re able to get across your personality. You need to remember that, when considering their options, your demo is the only representation of you at that stage. When listening to it, they’ve not met you and likely haven’t even spoken with you on the phone. As such, if you can get across your personality both through your content and your vocal abilities, you’ll already be one step further than someone whose demo is professional yet lacks individuality.
Producers want to work with artists who are able to do something a little different and can stand out from the crowd. Deliver what they want and you’ll be well on your way to a successful career recording voice overs, however without a perfect demo or show reel, you’ll struggle to convince them how great you are and find it far more difficult than it should be to win work.

The opinions expressed on this webpage represent those of the individual authors and, unless clearly labeled as such, do not represent the opinions or policies of any masonic lodge, Grand Lodge or recognized masonic body.
The oldest lodge which has become an integral part of what is now Dunbar Lodge #118 was Adoniram Lodge #118. By its numerical designation, we can see that this lodge was created quite some time ago in the British Columbia/Yukon district.
On February 14, 1929 at 8:15 PM, some 121 masons met to discuss the formation of a new Lodge in District 16 under the Grand Lodge of British Columbia / Yukon. Many of these Masons were lawyers and accountants and were looking to create a lodge central to their neighbourhoods and share their common avocations. Dispensation was awarded by Grand Lodge on June 13, 1929. The Consecration and Constitution of Adoniram Lodge# 118 was performed on Thursday July 11, 1929.
It was agreed upon, after visiting a number of other lodges, to adopt the ‘emulation’ style of Masonic ceremonies and ‘work’. Adoniram Lodge was, among other things, one of the first lodges to promote the idea of creating an open Masonic Library in Vancouver. Also unique to this Lodge , and universally well received, were the ‘Adoniram Players’, a group of creative and disciplined Masons in the Lodge, who presented Masonic history and education through the vehicle of stage plays, performed in 18th century costumes. They travelled extensively performing and supporting numerous community services.
On Monday November 26th 1951, as Adoniram Worshipful Master E.S.Smith was involved in final plans for the year, a group of 22 Masons across town were engaged in a matter of celebratory importance.
Dunbar Lodge Lodge 145 was in the process of being instituted as a new Lodge. By July 22 1952 the new Lodge had been constituted and the members adopted their by-laws on September 10 1952, their first Worshipful Bro. W.A.Bain presiding.
Proponents of the ‘Canadian work’, the excellent ceremonial work, and strong sense of the Craft made Dunbar 145 deeply respected in the district as “men of vision” (Dunbar 145 celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2002).
Nearly three months later, on February 21 1952 , Bro. Fred Doull, acting as interim secretary, submitted a petition from 65 masons for dispensation to form yet another new Lodge in the district, to be called ‘Evergreen Lodge ‘. This dispensation was favourably received by Grand Master Bro. J. Murray Mitchell on March 6 1952. It was personally delivered at the Institution Ceremony on March 28th 1952 at 8 PM at the Kerrisdale Masonic Hall, (the present Hall used by Dunbar Lodge# 118).
Evergreen Lodge #148 was constituted June 28 1953 with Bro. Sholto Walmsley installed as the first Worshipful Master.
As early as 1998, lodges in British Columbia were impacted by the universal economic and changing social demographic factors of the era. It was evidenced by falling memberships, fewer active and new members. Having tracked these statistics in their own Lodge, Adoniram Lodge #118 applied to amalgamate with Dunbar Lodge #145, to secure a greater overall membership, streamlining both lodges’ expenses and gaining from the overall experiences of both Lodges within the Craft.
The uniqueness of this arrangement was not lost to either Lodge. It was to be an amalgamation of two different working styles, membership dynamics, expectations and visions combining the leadership and knowledge of some 120 Past Worshipful Masters.
The present Dunbar Lodge #118 was formed on June 14th 2001, assuming the name of Dunbar and the number of Adoniram # 118. The first Worshipful Master was Worshipful Bro. Louis Pardalis. The agreement included recognition of assets from both Lodges, and the expectation to blend certain aspects of both ‘works’ in the ceremonies and Lodge proceedings of the new Dunbar #118. The amalgamation itself is an excellent example of Masonic principles in action. But there was more to be added to this new Lodge.
On September 26 2002, Evergreen Lodge #148 opted to return their own Charter and join the new Dunbar #118 as well. Adding their own well respected wisdom and Masonic clarity to the strong presence of the new Lodge, Dunbar # 118 was strongly motivated to accept their offer.
The present Dunbar Lodge #118 owes its direction and diligence to many factors beyond the predecessor cumulative Lodges. The Masons in this Lodge range from 21 years of age to those in their nineties, coming from divergent backgrounds, countries, training and private objectives. As Masons, the brethren exemplify the traditions of respect, support, effort and concern that define being a Mason. With an open mind, a drive for knowledge, a deep concern for others and the mentoring of members from three excellent Lodges with a history spanning 180 years, Dunbar #118 enjoys a unique position in the lengthy roster of Masonic Lodges.

Want to hear something different? Then skip reading and listen to our diva bingo audio review.
Diva bingo is just one of many bingo sites that use dragonfish software, but just how does this diva fair under our inspection? When you first enter the diva bingo your eyes are greeted with all different shades of pink, so if pink is your favourite colour you’re likely to be in the right place. The home page itself has a bit of a busy look and feel about it. The latest offers fly by in the middle of the screen while just below this is a schedule of bingo games about to begin. You’ll also find info for different types of promotions being run. Despite its busy look and design it’s still a relatively easy site to navigate around.
As this is another dragonfish bingo site we wanted to play closer attention to the promotions on offer and specifically the terms and conditions applied. While writing this diva bingo review we were pleased to notice that this bingo site has its own standalone promotions and offers. The choice on offer is reasonable and this does include spin the wheel bonus when you make your first deposit. The terms and conditions applied are the same as those you will find at many other bingo sites and as such we did not find anything nasty hidden away in the small print.
The registration process itself is a very easy thing to do for those players looking to join and play at diva bingo. It is a process where you need to fill in the usual personal details such as name, address, telephone number, email address, date of birth and create a username and password. This whole process should not take more than a minute or so and will not cause any issues for concern. Just be warned, that although this is a dragonfish software site there are no free bingo rooms. The only way you can access the bingo rooms is to make a deposit just after you’re completed the registration process.
When you first enter the lobby it will pop up in to a new window. The brightly coloured pink theme continues with the lobby area awash with pinks. We entered the lobby on numerous occasions and we always found it to load rather slowly and be quite sluggish which was a bit of a disappointment. The layout of the lobby area is unique and all the bingo rooms are shown in one long list that you can scroll down. To join any of these simply click on it and then the bingo room will load up. There are a number of different menu tabs available to help you find different bingo games and these include free bingo, 90 ball, 75 ball, bingo jackpots, cheap and cheerful and diva specials to name just a few. It has to be said the choice of rooms to join and play is very good indeed. The diva specials run at different times throughout the month and all offer big jackpots. The layout and design makes it really easy to switch between finding different rooms and spotting when they’re open and how big their jackpots are.
Another part of this diva bingo review involved us testing out a number of these rooms. It’s not until you get into the bingo rooms that you really realise that diva bingo is a dragonfish bingo site. The layout and design of the bingo rooms are exactly the same as those that you will find at many other bingo sites. The difference is that the bingo rooms are not part of a network where you chat with the same CMs, they are all different. The bingo plays exactly in the same way; the difference is the chat games and the CMs.
Our final assessment and analysis for this diva bingo review. For those who like dragonfish software but want something different then diva bingo is probably the answer. There is a good choice of bingo rooms that all have different ticket prices. The only thing you’ll recognise is the layout of the bingo rooms. Overall diva bingo definitely delivers.
The minimum deposit is £10 which will then trigger the 1st deposit bonus.
Where you chose to make a deposit from a new window will pop up. In this will you will see a list of the different depositing methods available to you. Simple click on which one you would like to use and then enter the details on screen as directed.
What are the Bingo Bingo wagering requirements?
The wagering requirement is 4X the amount you deposit plus the bonus amount you receive.
Withdrawals are processed within 48 hours of being requested. It will then take an additional 2 – 8 to reach your account depending on your withdrawal method. Prior to making your first deposit a minimum of £30 must be deposited. The minimum withdrawal amount is £30.
Diva bingo is safe to join and play as it is licensed and regulated in Gibraltar. This is because is falls under the jurisdiction of the UK Gambling Commission which makes it ‘whitelisted’.
Diva bingo uses Dragonfish software.
Diva bingo was launched in March 2011.

(Paris, France) – For the 2018 edition of FIAC, Venus Over Manhattan is pleased to present an exhibition of work by Maryan. Comprising a suite of large format works on board from 1963, as well as accompanying works on canvas and paper, the presentation will be on view from October 17th through 21st, 2018, at booth E34 in the Grand Palais.
The artist known as Maryan was born Pinchas Burstein in 1927 to a Jewish family in Nowy-Saçz, Poland. Maryan spent the war years separated from his family in various ghettos, labor camps, and concentration camps, before being sent to Auschwitz. The only member of his family to survive the Holocaust, Maryan’s private life and artistic practice were deeply influenced by his experience of the war: his signature style, which used abstract techniques to render boisterous characters helped reintroduce the figure to contemporary painting, alongside his peers Karel Appel, Enrico Baj, Jean Dubuffet, and other artists associated with Art Brut, the CoBrA Group, and La Nouvelle Figuration. Though Maryan’s portraits of sputtering creatures boldly rejected the popular taste for total abstraction, his work was met with positive attention: he exhibited regularly in Parisian Salons after 1951, quickly joined the Galerie de France in 1956, and was awarded the Prix des Critiques d’Art at the Paris Biennale in 1959. His renown brought him a number of international exhibitions, and his first solo presentation in the United States was held at the famed André Emmerich Gallery in 1960.
Shortly after his debut with André Emmerich, Maryan moved from Paris to New York with his wife Annette. Maryan established a home and studio at the Chelsea Hotel, where he worked to develop his “Personnages,” a series of works on board and canvas that he began just before leaving Paris in 1960. These works feature a single figure positioned at the center of the composition, typically contorted into a strange pose. In Paris, the “Personnages” were often trapped in boxes or confined to claustrophobic spaces, but after Maryan’s move to New York, his figures burst forth from their constricting volumes, animating their compositions with wild expressions and confrontational gestures. With little exception, the “Personnages” consumed Maryan until his death, and represent the most striking realization of his unparalleled vision.
Maryan was born Pinchas Burstein in 1927 in Nowy-Saçz, Poland. He attended the Bezalel School in Jerusalem, the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris, and studied with Fernard Léger. Maryan’s work has been the subject of numerous international solo presentations, including exhibitions at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire du Judaïsme, Paris; the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies, Chicago; and the André Emmerich Gallery, New York. His work is frequently featured in important group exhibitions, including presentations at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. Maryan’s work is held in the permanent collections of numerous public institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago; the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Maryan lived and worked in New York City until his death in 1977.

Just a quick note that there won't be a Gameforce in April as it's Easter Sunday. We're also going to be talking to the pub and another games group regarding the second Sunday of each month because we're just not getting the numbers through the door at the moment to make it worthwhile for the pub. I'll update you as soon as we know more.
Hi there. Any word on whether there'll be gameforce event in May?
There won't be any event this May and we're actually taking a break and relaunching the club in the early autumn (we decided to get the Olympics and Euro 2012 out of the way both due to the disruption in London the Olympics will cause and also the demand for pubs that both events will create).

When call center personnel offer gift card incentives for brands consumers are already familiar with, marketers benefit from that awareness and have an easier time creating excitement for their program. In addition, since brand gift cards often have a higher perceived value than cash, marketers can reduce the dollar value of the gift card, lowering program costs, while maintaining desired perceived incentive value.
"Cash back on your statement" offers are difficult to separate from the purchase - which results in short-lived value for the marketer. While the consumer may have responded to the offer, but there is no lasting benefit for the marketer beyond that moment in time. With a gift card as the incentive the subscriber has multiple benefits as well as positive branding opportunities (receiving the gift card in the mail, putting the gift card in a wallet, and using the gift card at a retailer or restaurant).
A gift card “justifies” the purchase of products or services that the consumer may not normally buy. In the moment in time that the gift card is accepted by the consumer, the gift card facilitates an indulgence that might be outside the subscriber’s budget (e.g. – the choice of Outback Steakhouse, Olive Garden, the Cheesecake Factory or some other restaurant allows participation in a dining pleasure they may not have otherwise allowed themselves).
The downside of "cash back in the statement" incentives is that they exist in a singular moment in time and cannot be separated from the purchase. The branding value of gift card reward helps boost response and program participation by extending the value of the promotion and of the brand sponsoring the promotion over the period the gift card is redeemed. Then, after redemption, the consumer remembers the offer and the brand being promoted.

While her story begins like many others–a severe car accident and a prescription for painkillers–her story ends a little differently. Carrie’s life, and untimely death, galvanized the Nebraska Legislature to tackle the opioid epidemic head on through a series of legislation spearheaded by her mother and sister.

Art may take many forms, but theatre alone captures the full plight, humor, tragedy, and strength of the human condition. The desire to relate stories and observations of human existence is ancient and universal, and it has been expressed from our earliest storytelling traditions to the modern stage.
Introduction to Theatre provides a holistic experience, with chapters on the technical, historical, and philosophical significance of theatre in cultures across the world and across the ages.
With Introduction to Theatre , author Cathy O’Dell encourages students to understand both sides of the curtain. Developed on the premise that “theatre is a mirror of ‘us’”, an appreciation of theatre is the appreciation of one of the most fundamental connections between all humans.
Monitor student engagement and content mastery throughout the semester with the gradebook instrument.
Technical aspects and duties of the theatre are depicted through learning interactives and animations.
Opportunities for students to display their knowledge of the topic are provided throughout the text.
Flashcards aid students in understanding and remembering key terms and concepts.

Consumers have the power to make change happen at the community level by aligning with their community bank and putting their money to work in the neighborhood that they call home.
"Your choice of bank is your vote on where your money goes. Is it reinvested back into your own community, or is it sent off to a banking hub in another state or halfway around the world?" said Scott Heitkamp, ICBA's chairman and president and CEO of ValueBank Texas of Corpus Christi, Texas.
"When you deposit funds in your community bank, that money is redistributed back into the community in the form of loans to resident and entrepreneurs."
Community banks respect the communities they serve by doing right by their customers and community.
Community banks and local communities have symbiotic relationships -- one cannot thrive without the other.
Community banks understand and celebrate local economies. As small businesses themselves, community banks are unequivocal resources for entrepreneurs looking to launch a local small business. A study from seven Federal Reserve Banks found that small businesses that apply for loans with community banks are the most successful and most satisfied. ICBA celebrates local entrepreneurship on the third Wednesday of every month with Go Local Wednesday, during which community bankers and consumers share stores about supporting local businesses via social media.
Community banks give back. Serving local communities is second nature to community banks. At Walcott Trust and Savings Bank, we value our banking relationships and call our customers our friends.

Exercise develops ability to observe movements of opponent and quickly draw conclusions. Thanks to it athlete will be able to easily predict strikes of opponent and take advantage over him.
After activating “Anticipation” training cover semaphore with presented symbol. Then symbols will be presented on three semaphores – these are semaphores assigned to athlete. Three others are assigned to coach.
Athlete and coach stand opposite each other. In front of them are located assigned semaphores.
Each semaphore on coach’s side is connected to particular semaphore on athlete’s side. Athlete by observing movements of coach learns the rule. After a while he is able to react faster only by seeing movements of coach.
Athlete tries his luck and searches for correct semaphore.
After covering the right semaphore symbols “X” on the athlete’s side disappear.
Athlete uses information from previous step and tries to find correct semaphore.
When athlete will learn the whole rule, we can randomly change position of semaphores.
When predicting actions of opponent we have to focus on few elements at the same time. Adding different symbols on the semaphores will help to fully prepare our brain to anticipation on the court.
This exercise is used for effective memory training. Thanks to it an athletete will be able to memorize more important information during the game, which allows to make fast and good decisions.
Put three other semaphores on the net (right doubles alley).
– green – positive numbers.
The aim of the exercise is to add up all of the numbers on three mentionded semaphores. At the end of exercise athlete has to choose on of three semaphores with correct score.
Player begins exercise behind baseline (left doubles alley).
Player covers first semaphore on the baseline.
Player goes to the net and hits a volley.
Player goes to the right doubles alley and covers one of three semaphores on the net.
Working with numbers gives us countless posibilities of grading difficulty level. Using multiplication and division will provide better results.
What’s the most important skill in sport?
If someone asked me what’s most important in porfessional sport, I would answer – efective decision making.
Even the fastest reaction, without good decision means nothing.
Decision making is a base of master performance in every sport. You can have perfect technique or be very strong but without good decisions, all other skills lose significance.
Effective decision is a full optimalization of two components: fast reaction and good execution. Young players tend to go into extremes. They make very fast but bad decisions or spend lot of time on finding a good choice. The key to success is to hold balance. Thanks to dedicated exercises we are able to teach our brain how to optimize process of decision making.
How to train decision making?
anticipation – ability to predict outcome of someones behaviour, usually by observing players movement.
memory – a base which holds the most important information.
A complex training of those four skills will give us a huge advantage over opponents. Let’s keep in mind that this kind of exercises should be done regularly as a complement of basic sport training.
Ability of players to see opportunities and use them is often called „field inteligence”. It’s not magic. It’s an example of athletes who more frequently than others focus in their training on process of making good decisions.

Hyssopus Officinalis: Bright, fine, young, aristocratic, freedom, leads out of traps and cul-de-sacs, uplifting, gives you wings, see the bigger picture.
Hyssop is very good for people who feel stuck in their lives and yearn for more freedom - freedom of self expression but also very practically, freedom of movement in the body as well as in its deepest metaphorical sense. Thus Hyssop is also helpful for goal setting, planning, and to discover strategies that get you from where you are to where you want to be.
The coach of a high-born lady has got stuck in the mud, far from home. At first, only the servants were pushing; now, night is falling and even the high-born lady is struggling with the others in the mud, slipping and falling down, getting plastered in mud from head to toe, looking just the same as everyone else now.
A passing traveller of exotic origin pauses on a rise of the road and views the scene with much amusement for a while. Eventually, he rides down towards the weary, muddy strugglers and points a finger - a wave of invisible light travels towards them, enters into them, clears out their muddy thoughts and weary struggle of the day in an instance: they have an idea what to do! With renewed vigour, they set to work, and soon, the coach is freed, and finally, they're on their way.

Who’s Behind The Save the Bomber Plant Campaign?
Yankee Air Museum’s fundraising arm, The Yankee Air Museum Foundation, has organized the Campaign and is providing the day-day management of the Campaign. The Campaign itself is led by volunteers.
We’ve succeeded in saving the Bomber Plant from demolition. Now what?
To paraphrase Churchill, this is, “The end of our beginning.” We must now raise the funds to complete the many construction and renovation projects necessary to turn it into a Museum. When the Bomber Plant becomes a Museum we will have truly “saved” it.
As we continue to Save the Willow Run Bomber Plant, what is the current fundraising focus?
Currently, we are raising funds for the Hangar 1 Replacement Project — a hangar space for Yankee Air Museum’s flyable aircraft within our preserved portion of the Willow Run Bomber Plant.
Why do we urgently need to build a hangar within the Willow Run Bomber Plant?
Hangar space within the Willow Run Bomber Plant for Yankee Air Museum’s flyable aircraft has always been part of the renovation plan. Because the Museum’s current hangar space (Hangar 1) will be decommissioned in December 2019, building the new hangar space has become a top priority. The Yankee Air Museum’s greatest treasures — our B-17, B-25, C-47 and WACO biplane—must be protected.
What else is involved in turning the preserved potion of the Willow Run Bomber Plant into a museum?
Construction, construction, construction! While much of the exterior and infrastructure work has already been completed or in process, there is still much more to come. We still need to raise a great deal of money to support the construction needed to create a fully-functional Museum inside the former Bomber Plant.
What has been accomplished so far at the Willow Run Bomber Plant?
Thanks to your generosity, we have succeeded in enclosing and painting the exterior of the Willow Run Bomber Plant, completing underground work for new utilities connections, installing a modern hangar door for future Museum use, pouring concrete and blacktop surfaces around the exterior of the building, and installing temporary lighting so interior infrastructure work can continue. These were important milestones! But there is still much work yet to be done.
When will the Yankee Air Museum move into the Willow Run Bomber Plant?
The move-in date is a moving target that is highly dependent on raising the funds necessary to complete the restoration.

Psalm 118 is the last of the Hallel psalms; which is a series of psalms that the Jews use on festivals recalling the escape from Egypt. Hallel is a song of praise. This ending Hallel psalm focuses on the king. The king’s victory manifests the steadfast love of the Lord and His name is extolled and exalted above all the nations. The psalm demonstrates trust in the Lord and promises to thank and praise the Lord. It opens by calling all people to give thanks, then it gives testimony to a victory won when recourse was given to the Lord who came to their rescue. With a victory chant the victor goes to the temple to offer thanks. The people recognize the victory is the work of the Lord. We see it in the quoted verse, since the victory is the Lord’s doing the people proclaim, “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice in it and be glad.” The people organize a procession singing and rejoicing and the psalm ends repeating thanks for the Lord. This line is often repeated by those who trust the Lord. It is used as encouragement and as thanks.
Each day is a day made by the Lord. Followers of the Lord who give Him complete trust know, despite what happens in the day it will be a day to rejoice and be glad. Once we are the Lord’s then what happens in our day is in the hands of our Lord and we can expect that it will be successful, even if it is a day where we learn growth through loss. Once we are committed to God, declaring all we have and do is for the Lord, we can expect each day will be a day of rejoicing, because each day will be a day the Lord has made especially for us.
Do you commit your day to the Lord? How do you respond at the end of each day, do you thank the Lord or are you cursing?

Discussion in 'Role Playing Games' started by pig, Jan 9, 2004.
A mysterious voice says, "In order to continue your path to enlightenment, you must learn Master Bounty Hunter."
Well, you could do what a lot of us do - ignore Jedi and play the game. Let's face it, if you can't face getting Bounty Hunter then Jedi won't be a walk in the park.
Set aside the Jedi goal, set some other goals for yourself and play.
As for setting the Jedi goal aside... what is left for me to do?
well i was half way up the BH investigation tree when i dropped BH. its not really all that bad, most of the time is just spent waiting for droids or shuttles, which i spent afk watching TV, getting a cuppa etc. for me the fun part was taking out the marks which are quite tough on occasion, espcially if you have no armor and naff weapons but i guess as a MCH you should have no probs with the harder targets.
I'm ignoring my holocron and playing the classes I want, and really enjoying it .
Too many people are going the Holocron/Jedi route playing this game and it really is starting to kill it.
Every entertainer is now an afk'er with macros running every 30 seconds asking for tips and heals.
The point of the game is that it's a mmorpg and you're supposed to enjoy the community and just do things for fun and immerse yourself in the game. Not try and complete it, after all it is a game that is supposed to have no end.
The same thing killed Dark Age of Camelot, the xp'ing just became a grind. There was no exploration, no excitement, no fun. It was just grind grind grind then go rvr and grind grind grind realm points.
The only reason im doing my Holocron professions now is so i can have a hope in hell of beccomming a Jedi. I know full well that even after my 4 holo's ill still have to be very lucky to hit upon the 5th silent profession.
Master BH is nothing, and once/if you make jedi u'll wish you never dropped BH to continue holo grinding.
Hopefully, if i ever hit MBH, some form of player bountys will added (not just jedi bounty) Bet the mission terminals will be full of missions for this type of tard.
I had the idea of starting to holo grind but I just decided I that I would have more fun playing a profession I would love to play.
So I started on the Bounty Hunter tree and so far I actually find it a fun profession and I'm enjoying every single moment of it.
I doubt if I'll ever start holo grinding just because it's an aspect of the game I don't like and I think it has ruined the game in some ways.
I chose Bounty Hunter as the profession I wanted before the game was even in Beta.
Now that I know how hard it is to Master it will be a very long time before i'll give it all up and start the FS grind, in fact i'll probably start on a new server 1st and keep my first char a BH forever.
My friend keeps telling me how lucky i am that its my 2nd holo... If it was my silent, i would never have even attempted it.
i always thought that master merchant would be a nightmare. i'm not even sure how you get merchant xp!
OOooo forgot about that one, if i got merchant as a holo there is abasloutly no way i would do it. As far as i know the only way to get merchant XP is to have active vendors with people looking at them every 10 mins or so... or by putting an entry fee on your house.
maybe... the only merchants i know are alt characters of people who own large stores.
And the Lord said "appease the casual gamer"
And god said "Let there be Flash!" And the flash was good!
