The ultimate goal of everyone who starts an ecommerce store of some kind is the same – become as big as Amazon and eBay. Unfortunately, such dreams are probably unattainable, but this does not mean you should give up on putting up a fight. There are smaller big guys that you can still very much compete with, provided you do a few things right.
The crucial part of getting your ecommerce the right way is having a website where people will have the fastest, most comfortable shopping experience possible. There are a few things that you need to keep in mind when having an ecommerce website developed.
For one, it needs to be as fast as possible. It is a well-known fact that shoppers leave websites in droves if they have to wait for pages to load. Ecommerce websites also need to be clean and clear, with intuitive features that guide a shopper smoothly towards making a purchase. Security is yet another feature that needs to be handled absolutely perfectly. No one wishes to buy something only to have their credit card data stolen. There is more to developing an ecommerce website, but these are the very basics.
Once you have a website in place, it is time to take care of your inventory management, storage and shipping. These will be at the core of your ecommerce business as much as your website. Namely, without handling this the right way, your customers will need to wait far too long for the products they purchased. Conversely, if some of your stock is not selling, you might end up with packed warehouse that is only losing you money.
Until you grow enough to run your own warehouses, you will need to choose the best 3PL warehousing you can find and hire their services. Of course, you will need to be really careful about choosing the right solution, because not all of them are the same.
Once you start running your own warehouses, it will be crucial that you utilize warehouse management software as it will dramatically increase the efficiency of your storage and shipping.
Simply setting up a great ecommerce website with a serious infrastructure behind it is, unfortunately, not enough. In a perfect world, it would be. The reality is such that all e-commerce businesses need to do marketing and do a lot of it. The good news is that with a bit of online marketing, this does not have to burn a hole in your budget.
For one, you will want to start a blog that will be an integral part of your website. It will need to be regularly updated with (hopefully) interesting comment that you will then share on social media and in your emails. You might also want to do a bit of guest blogging so as to increase the visibility of your blog and, consequently your website overall. After a while, you will be ready for advanced ecommerce content marketing and you will be getting new customers from all over the place.
In the end, it is all about getting the basics right and spreading the word about your ecommerce websites. You cannot skip these steps if you wish to compete with the biggest ecommerce players out there.

Pumps consume much energy and could be the reason behind a sudden spike in your utility bills. Thus, there is a critical need to consider the energy efficiency rating of a pump before deciding it is the one. Energy efficient pumps will save on energy use and minimise your operational costs.
Pumps depend on an engine or motor for the driving power. Depending on the liquid you are handling, a pump should have a high power rating to handle your load at a given time without causing problems.
Where from do you expect to be running your pump? You must ensure that the pump will be operating in an ideal environment. Check the humidity levels, temperature, atmospheric pressure, and altitude of the location you intend to place your pump and see whether they match the manufacturer’s specifications.
Your pump will be transporting liquids from one point to another. Liquid properties such as the vapour pressure, temperature, pH value, specific gravity can affect the condition of the pump. It would be best if you understood the properties of your liquid to see whether they are compatible with the material of your pump. Failure to consider the liquid properties could cause pump inefficiency and damage to the pump through corrosion.
There are many considerations when buying a pump other than knowing you need centrifugal pumps. The other considerations will affect your pump’s performance, efficiency, and durability. Therefore, take time to understand the specifications before heading out to a pump supplier.

Skiron's Road: road from Megara to Corinth.
According to the inhabitants of Megara, Skiron was a friendly hero who built a road to Corinth through the steep rocks along the sea. The Athenians, who were often on bad terms with the Megarians, put the story upside down: in the legend of their hero Theseus, Skiron was an evil man who asked his guests to wash his feet, and when they were stooped down, kicked them from the cliffs into the sea, where a giant man-eating turtle finished the killing. According to the same Athenian story, Theseus eventually killed Skiron.
Although the name "Skiron's Road" is forgotten, the road still exists and is still very dangerous. Note the road sign on the left - the road will go down steeply. There is also the little monument, which signifies that a driver has been killed on this spot.

Yes, you heard that right! We've added another physical location to our brick and mortar store, Nest Interiors. I've largely been absent because this has been all consuming, plus running our main shop, and throw in twins...and you know the rest of the story!
Our newest location is inside Rustic Treasures in neighboring Hammond, LA. It's a wonderful vendor mall...just the thing I was looking for to expand our brand. And though she may be small...she is mighty! We've packed our booth with shop winners from our exclusive silk-screened towels, candles, to decorative papers. We're still kicking around names...Nest Too, Baby Nest, Nest Deux. Either way, we are smitten with the new space...all I could do yesterday as we put the finishing touches together was stand and smile.
Also, coinciding with the opening of the new space is the launch of my Petite Pillow. It's a tiny pillow (the French Flag is my opening design) and each is filled with a combination of polyfil and dried lavender and a spritz of high quality essential oil. They make wonderful large sachets, a tuck in to freshen a guest bedroom linens, or placed near a favorite seat to enjoy the fresh lavender scent.
Both the new space and this new product introduction were conceived (or perhaps realized) during the Virtual Retreat I took with Kimberly Wilson this month. I was surprised, not only to realize these dreams but to pursue and fufill them so quickly!
There are three styles currently to choose from in the Petite Pillow, and all are available at our three locations...Nest, Rustic Treasures, and Online. Choose from French Country, French Rustic or French Moderne...all are packaged to be given as a gift but you may want it for yourself!
With the arrival of Spring, I usually take this time to take stock of bird-centric items for the shop and at home. Making extra sure there are places to nest, eat and drink to raise a new flock of feathered friends. The above feeder is my favorite that we sell, and I've restocked for spring. It has a great vintage look and very easy to unscrew and clean. The tray should not hold water as it has tiny holes for a spring rain to pass through.
I like these mini blossoms for our hummingbirds; they're great to add in a plant of salvia, lantana, or other hummingbird attractant...call it a bird buffet.
And why not let your birds live in style, simple and easy to clean ceramic would make a nice home for chickadees, wrens, and sparrows. Green and amber are available online at our website.
Food for thought...don't forget to plan for some natural sources of food in your yard. We carry and plant in our own yard a couple of the sunflower varieties from Hudson Valley Seed Library. Here is velvet queen...you'll enjoy the rich blooms and birds will enjoy the seeds that follow.
Here's an idea we're loving for nesting birds (and putting to use at home too). Take a suet cage and fill with natural materials for birds to pad a nest. This picture shows yarn fibers and as pretty as it looks, its actually not recommended for our delicate avian friends. Preferred choices are natural cloth strips, wool, jute, burlap, pine or wheat (tiny twigs work), grass clipping, and what did we use...dog fur! We often watch birds dip down in the yard to steal bits of our husky's fur.
This season I've been putting the remnants of each grooming session in the suet cage and hanging along our fence line. I even saw our 1st pair of chickadees grabbing a mouth full and stuffing it in their newly claimed house! Keep in mind, don't try this if your dog gets flea dipped. Just remember to offer items that are chemically free and that are not too fine to wrap around a nestlings leg.
Sometimes I forget to share how many lovely vintage and antique items we offer in the shop. We take trips several times a year out of state in search of unique vintage decor and fabric; and if I had to pick a favorite, I love our trips to source items -- the thrill of the hunt!
All are available in our Etsy shop (including my handmade goods and craft supplies). And expect more arrivals this month!
another freebie to get your March going, released in 2010, this sweet St. Patrick's Day embroidery pattern has been on my to-do list (maybe this year?!) I keep going back to it...see how sweet?
It was a huge weekend for us! Thank you to all who came to our 8th anniversary sale on Saturday. This day and age it is super rare to say you are a gift shop that's been in business this long.
The very next day was also cause for celebration as we invited a small circle of family for our twins 1st birthday. Ok, we're a little late celebrating (by a month) but we could not of asked for a prettier Spring-like day!
It's wonderful and the perfect breakfast-y kind of cake with banana, pineapple and pecans. I can bake a cake but decorating...not so much; I went foraging and luckily found wild violets, jasmine, and fresh oregano all available in the yard and woods.
This recipe calls for nuts - so we made two mini cakes sans nuts and sans alcohol in the frosting.
They weren't too sure about it, especially with a crowd egging them on to eat. Eventually, they got into it and particularly loved the strawberry and icing.
Definitely, try the cake out if you are looking for a unique sweet for a special occasion. Also, a special thanks to our vendor, Lisa Elstrott and owner of the now closed but once popular Lisa's Children Boutique in Ponchatoula, LA - she made the adorable bibs pictured for the twins to celebrate their first birthday! Her handmade items are so well done and I'm pleased to have her exclusively at our shop.

It is convenient to be able to keep up the pace in which the application code was delivered to us. Since we manage nearly 500-600 applications and we need to make sure they are tested, we wanted something robust with an option to check against previous baselines with minimal human intervention without sacrificing criteria.
We wanted something with less risk when incorporating or shifting scripts.
The fact that it loads from an external cloud is a plus as well.
It took just a few minutes to set up Neotys Cloud, as opposed to a few days with other solutions.

We didn't negotiate the price. To give perspective, we went from spending three million dollars to 160 thousand dollars, which is a huge saving and good value.
One of our goals was to find a platform that would have the functionalities that we were used to while incorporating in other ones. ProLoad was a competitor, and one other (can't make out name).
We wanted it to support agile and devops, while being able to upgrade to a number of releases over the course of a day, so it was a fit.
The company really strives on experience, always making sure that I as a customer am happy. For example, my team at Dell had an issue with our new version, which we had just updated to. Another team used a different version which required different protocols, and there were discrepancies between the versions. The company found out that our errors were user errors, and helped us fix the problem.
I helped them in terms of product development since we at Dell told them requirements and they added that to product life cycles. So we are a customer, but told them some requirements we'd like to see.

Python core development news and information.
When a user reports that your program crashes or hangs, sometimes you can only help to try and collect more information and outline a scenario to reproduce the situation. Even with a reliable user scenario, as a developer you are often unable to reproduce the situation due to environment differences, e.g., operating system and compiler. If you are lucky, the user will be able to install debug tools, but most of time you will have to wait until another person is able to obtain more information from the same situation.
Use the repeat=True option to dump the traceback each timeout seconds, or exit=True to immediatly exit the program in an unsafe fashion, e.g. don't flush files.
Another possibility is to explicitly call faulthandler.dump_traceback() in your program.
faulthandler is disabled by default for security reasons, mainly because it stores the file descriptor of sys.stderr and writes the tracebacks into this file descriptor. If sys.stderr is closed and the file descriptor is reused, the file descriptor may be a socket, a pipe, a critical file or something else. By default, faulthandler writes the tracebacks to sys.stderr, but you can specify another file. For more information, see the faulthandler documentation.
faulthandler is also maintained as a third-party module for Python 2.5 through 3.2 on PyPI . The major difference between the Python 3.3 module and the third-party module is the implementation of dump_tracebacks_later(): Python 3.3 uses a thread with a timeout on a lock, whereas the third party uses SIGALRM and alarm().
The lock timeout, which is a new feature of Python 3.3, has a microsecond resolution. The alarm() timer used on older versions has a resolution of one second, and the SIGALRM signal may interrupt the current system call which will fail with an EINTR error.
The new faulthandler module has already helped with tracking down race conditions in our buildbots. We hope that it will also help you in your programs.

You would probably rush out to buy it and be willing to pay whatever it would cost because such a device would make losing weight so much easier. Well, the good news is that you already have such a device attached to your body and it is called muscle and the more muscle that your have the greater the amount of fat your body is going to burn for energy during each day. The best way to increase the amount of muscle you have on your body is to lift weights and the best exercises that build the most muscle are lifts like Squats and Lunges. Add weight training to your weight loss regimen and see how much faster and easier it becomes to lose weight.

You hear that? That's the sound of your new favorite celebrity feminist Olivia Wilde calling out Hollywood sexism for what it is.
As part of a panel on the "State of Female Justice," the actress told a fascinating — and very telling — story about doing a gender-swapped reading of the script for American Pie. The swap resulted in the women getting "all the good lines" and laughs, while the men were sidelined to the roles of supporting props.
"The men who joined us to sit on stage started squirming rather uncomfortably and got really bored because they weren't used to being the supporting cast," Wilde said. "It was fascinating to feel their discomfort [and] to discuss it with them afterwards, when they said, 'It's boring to play the girl role!' And I said, 'Yeah. Yeah. You think?! Welcome to our world!'"
Wilde knows what she's talking about; the actress has been in 40 films to-date, but has only had one true leading role (in Drinking Buddies). And her anecdote says a lot about Hollywood's double standard when it comes to the treatment of female characters both on and off screen. For one thing, actresses are paid significantly less and receive fewer lines than their male counterparts. Angelina Jolie, the highest-paid female movie star, makes about the same per movie as the two lowest-paid A-list male stars, Denzel Washington and Liam Neeson. And according to the latest Women's Media Center report, only 28.4% of speaking roles in the top 100 films of 2012 went to women.
In her speech, Wilde pledged to do more to empower women in film, joining the ranks of outspoken feminist actresses like Cate Blanchett (who had a brilliant moment on the red carpet earlier this year when she asked a cameraman, "Do you do this to the guys too?!" as he scanned her up and down). If Hollywood is ever going to become a more equitable place for women, we need more brilliantly bold questions like Blanchett's, and more revealing gender-bends like Wilde's.

It was a warm sunny day in Adelaide. Hesh, Skold and I were doing another recon mission to this place — previously we found it impenetrable. Prying back a branch of an overgrown bush we identified a fracture in the buildings fortifications.
We squeezed through and onto the grounds.
‘Drovers Station‘ was once owned by a stockman back in the late 1800s. Disused for many years, the buildings have been left to rot and decay. The floorboards have been mostly eaten away by white ants. The walls turning to powder from rising damp. Large structural cracks from ground movement.
In the yard sits machinery from a bygone era. The 1963 International Harvester VF-190 truck proudly displays its military past on the glove box “… BY ORDER OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF USAF”. The hand-crank of the 1945 Fordson E27N tractor reminiscent of days before electronic ignition systems.
We love the fact that just behind a door or on the other side of a wall lies so much of Adelaide’s history. Having such a visceral connection to it far outweighs reading about it in a book or having a guide explain it to you.

In group work and in solitude, Vision Quest can be used as a means to step from where you are in your life, to where you want to be, to what you desire to change, to find answers you have found hard to discover in today´s busy world.
We gather at our Shamanic Earth Centre on Saturday afternoon 22nd September 2018 to meet the other participants and for orientation. The last part of which will be taking a walk to view the rocks, river and woods, so starting the process of deciding where you wish to quest. There will be time to set up tents in the camping area before a communal evening meal, for those who have yet to decide to fast.
The first of the three days will be spent working in the communal sacred space, preparing you for your quest, the shamanic way. With the help of the drum, journeying to meet your guides and helpers for your quest. In doing so beginning to move away from the mundane and ordinary and shift into the non-ordinary.
Information will be offered as to what you can do whilst out on your own in your sacred circle, how to make your space and tools to assist in your quest (physical and non-physical!). Working with nature, spirit, your guides and yourself.
After your return on the third morning, we gather to break-fast and have a rest period. All then return to our ceremonial circle where we spend time sharing our quests, investigating, reflecting and drawing them together. We end with a final ceremony before we gather for a celebratory meal on Tuesday 25th September.
Vision Quest can transform and be life changing. After completion of your quest, you will be invited to join the private Facebook group so that you can continue to share your experiences.
IMPORTANT: YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A PRE-EVENT QUESTIONNAIRE to be returned to Shamanics in Portugal before the event. It will be sent to you after booking and, on the acknowledgement of its receipt by us, you will receive confirmation of the dates of your Vision Quest.
NOTE: First Time Vision Questers — SAVE 39€!
There is a 50% discount if you book the half-day Introduction to Shamanic Journeying course when booking the Vision Quest at the same time. The half-day Introduction to Shamanic Journeying (morning of 20th September, just before the Vision Quest commences!) – normally €78 is just €39 for Vision Questers ONLY — using voucher!!

Yum yum! I would love some sushi right about now!
The long family holiday visit has been great. Should I secretly laugh as they disapprove of my sushi?
On a personal note, something has been off since my round of traveling last month.
Too much booze, perhaps. My mind is refusing to allow my body to step on the scale, I really feel icky.
Missing workouts, using a larger eating window.
Life is sort of swallowing me - Mom has dementia and watching her decline has been insanely difficult. Also, I am responsible for my Aunt, which is in a nursing facility. Home, well, it’s barely tolerable.
This new lifestyle has been my rock, my solace. I feel my mind wandering towards the old ways and just need a little encouragement. There is no going back.
I'LL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS🙏 I KNOW WHAT IT IS TO TAKE CARE OF SOMEONE YOU LOVE STRUGGLING WITH DEMENTIA .
Stress is such a hard thing to deal with when you are used to using food for solace. I sometimes feel freaking starving and when I actually think about why, it's because I am stressed (though boredom does it for me too).
One thing I like to do is open up a word document and write out the things that are causing me to stray from the plan I'm on. For example, I ate way too much last week when I really didn't need to, and I wrote down what changed in my life that was causing this.
One of those eating triggers was that I was coming home from work way earlier than usual and feeling demotivated because the company I work at is falling apart. This made me want to order food from ubereats right when I got home, which means I was probably gonna consume more calories than if I just cooked a meal myself.
To counter this I started coming home early, then immediately leave my apartment and go to a cafe and have some black coffee, hit the gym, take a walk while listening to new releases on spotify, buy the things I'm planning to cook, then I come home and cook and eat. This keeps my mind off work and makes me feel a bit more motivated.
Hope you overcome the difficulties!
Boredom, habit, stress, thrist and wanting a sugar induced coma!
@zoopis94 Thanks. I’m going to use some of your ideas.
I'm so sorry, Rob! I have been distracted with work, but I hope things are turning around.
All will be fine, thank you for responding.
The last two days have been solid.
That is great! Hope all is well!
I’m back on track. My monthly weigh in is tomorrow. Do know it will be disappointing, but a learning experience. Also, I’m resuming my food log and weekly weigh ins. Too much freedom for me is bad news!
The OMAD is always whispering in my ear.
Hope you continue to recover well.
That pizza looks so awesome! I will make this the next time the family buys pizza. I definitely would not miss the crust.
Well, I needed to read it again, as well!
Man, that's rough. I'm sorry to hear that. Take care of yourself, and the others entrusted in your care. They're fortunate to have you.
Good thing is, re.: weight, you have your system ingrained and won't allow yourself to stray too far off course. You know the consequences. Best wishes to you and your family.

The Queens of Pain’s Hyper Lynx wants to talk about practice.
Fifteen years after basketball hall of famer Allen Iverson created a stir by talking about practice with reporters, the GGRD All-Star veteran wants to do the same in the lead-up to Saturday’s bout at John Jay College against the Bronx Gridlock. And that’s cool with her.
Forget last year. Over the previous four years since they last won a GGRD home team title in 2013, Queens may have been the best team in the league night in and night out. But at key times, wins proved elusive, surprising their fans and the team itself.
Well there is one, and that’s the reality that Queens will try to outwork their peers in the Crashpad practice space, garnering a reputation as the best conditioned team in the league. If a skater gets drafted and presented with a black jersey, they know that Suzy Hotrod and company will put them through hell before it’s time to hit the track on game night. But that’s a badge of honor Lynx and company wear with pride.
And if there was a wish for the derby gods to throw some good fortune their way, it was granted before the 2017 season even started, as the team revealed that they were taking the track with a roster intact from the previous year. That’s a rarity in Gotham, and Queens have taken full advantage of it, tearing out of the gate in March with a 176-130 win over the defending GGRD champion Manhattan Mayhem.
Is Lynx talking about practice again? You bet she is.
Tickets for Saturday May 6 available here.

Are you an Early Adopter or Passive Consumer?
Early Adopter or Passive Consumer? Vote with your wallet!
Sustainability means being profitable while protecting people and planet at the same time. However, we have little knowledge about the true costs of the products we use and the true value of the materials that make up our clothes? Often we hear talk about the natural resources, like water, that are wasted to make products. That the amount of water used to make a single T-shirt could sustain one person for three years for example. But what about human resources? What would happen if everyone knew exactly who made our clothes and how much they are making to do this? Every piece of wasted fabric contains all the resources used in its production process. Are we however willing to pay the true price?
How glamorous is fashion? What association do you have with fashion? That it is glamourous? It sure is.
But there is another side of the medal. What association do you have with a landfill or the burning of fabrics for example. This is where fabrics often end up after being used and sometimes even without being used. So think again.. How glamorous is fashion? As humans, our natural footprint last no more than 50100 years, there are however other 'things' literally that we will be leaving behind that will last centuries to decompose: Our waste. And unfortunately, a big part of this is fashion.
From back in the days the supply chain in fashion asks for high margins and for high volumes to produce and because of the oversea locations to produce the clothing it asks a firm planning. Manufactures and agents try to make nice samples for the brands, retailers try to analyse with data, but mainly based on a feeling to buy the right fashion styles and the right sizes for their clients into their store.
Orders in high volume are almost a must to make high margins on their products and build a healthy company. Trying to change something after placing the order is very difficult. If the retailers are making a mistake the goods will go into sale. There is also a possibility that the articles are going back to the manufacturer and will be sold through factory outlets to give the products a second change.
Because of the high competitive market the need of down prizing, big sales and the use of Outlet stores is growing and creating a race to the bottom. Consumers are reacting on this and are waiting to buy. With high buying prizes and low selling prizes the margins are going down. This al asks for a different approach.

With Ben Duckett (96), the returning Josh Cobb (56) and captain Alex Wakely (51 not out) all hitting some spectacular shots the Steelbacks put together their biggest ever total in this format of the sport on home ground.
The 218-3 also represented the county’s third-highest score in the format, but it proved to be not enough to see them home for the win as Leicestershire captain Colin Ackermann’s outstanding 66 runs in 31 balls combined with a six-run penalty for a slow over rate to get the Foxes over the line.
“The first half was outstanding,” Ripley said. “We lost an early wicket but still played with conviction in the Powerplay, Ben and Josh were superb and we thought we were going to defend that score.
“But we haven’t done ourselves justice with the ball or in the field. We were sloppy in the field and didn’t show the calmness we needed. We were frantic and that led to a time penalty.
Having found form with his first hundred of the season last week at Cardiff, Duckett was quickly into his work here, delicately paddle-sweeping Ben Raine for six over long leg and lifting him over extra-cover for four. He then took 12 from Callum Parkinson’s first over - with two reverse-sweeps over backward point - before another reverse-swept boundary saw Northants reach 58 at the end of the Powerplay, for the loss of Richard Levi for 6 in the third over.
A punch through extra-cover raised his seventh T20 fifty in 22 balls before a top-edged hook cleared long leg for his second six and a perfect paddle-sweep went straight over the wicketkeeper’s head for another maximum. A fierce pull to him to within sight of a century but he holed out to long-on in the final over of the innings.
Duckett shared 111 for the second wicket with Josh Cobb - the record second-wicket stand for the Steelbacks in T20s. Cobb leg-glanced Zak Chappell for his first boundary before clearing his front leg to take four more down the ground. He pulled Nabi over midwicket for his first six before smearing Cameron Delport’s first two deliveries over long-on and a weaker effort that was parried over the fence for six more by Mohammad Abbas.
Having passed 50 in 28 balls with three fours and four sixes, he holed out to long-on for 56 swinging at Parkinson.
Wakely then took up the task and pulled Chappell for four through midwicket before skipping down to lift Nabi for six in the offspinner’s final over. Abbas returned and Wakely steered a boundary wide of long leg and clubbed another straight back past the bowler. A perfectly-timed pick-up shot cleared square leg and in the final over, he swung a mighty straight-drive over the Wilson Stand as he went to a 22-ball 50 in the final over.
Neil Dexter gave the chase a bright start, albeit with two boundaries via the inside edge, but having got to 38, was run out as Delport tried to take a sharp single to Seekkuge Prasanna at mid-on.
Two wickets then fell within the space of three balls - Delport holed out to long-on where Duckett took a good catch before Mark Cosgrove was run-out backing up as Cobb collected a firm straight drive, turned and threw down the stumps.
The required rate spiralled to 16-an-over with over a third of the innings remaining before Ackermann found his touch. He pulled and flicked Seekkuge Prasanna’s final over for 19 before Mohammad Nabi swung Nathan Buck for three successive fours to leave 74 needed from 30 balls.
Ackermann’s third six - off Ben Sanderson over extra-cover - raised fifty in 24 balls and his fourth - heaved over long-on, completed a quite extraordinary chase.
The Steelbacks host Nottinghamshire Outlaws at the County Ground on Friday night. By booking advance tickets you can save £5 compared to the standard match day price.

London — Brent crude fell on Friday, weighed down by surging US supply and concerns of a global economic slowdown, but falling oil cartel Opec supplies put a floor under prices.
International Brent crude futures were at $66.08 a barrel at 10.37am GMT, down 23c from Thursday’s settlement. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures were at $57.24 a barrel, up 2c.
The US Energy Department said on Thursday that it is offering up to 6-million barrels of crude from national emergency reserves to raise funds to modernise US strategic oil reserves.
On Thursday, Canada’s main oil-producing province of Alberta raised the amount of crude that companies can produce in April to 3.66-million barrels per day (bpd), an increase of 100,000 bpd from the limit imposed in January. But these moves were partially offset by reductions elsewhere.
In Venezuela, oil exports have plunged by 40% to about 920,000 bpd since the US government slapped sanctions on its petroleum industry on January 28. The drop comes as Opec, of which Venezuela is a founding member, leads efforts to withhold about 1.2-million bpd of supply to prop up prices. Venezuela is exempt from the cuts.
“Opec and its 10 allies are doing their job and this time they are stubborn,” London-based brokerage PVM said in a note, referring to the supply restrictions that have been in place since the start of the year.
China’s February factory activity fell for a third month as the world’s second-largest economy continued to struggle with weak export orders, a private survey showed on Friday. The weakness is also being felt across the wider region. South Korea’s exports contracted at their steepest pace in nearly three years in February as demand from China cooled further.
Despite this, fuel consumption, especially in Asia’s developing economies ,which are key drivers of global oil demand, is, so far, holding up. India’s diesel consumption, for example, is expected to rise to a record this year amid economic growth of about 7%.

Paris Games Week saw the announcement of two newly revealed games for PSVR, and among the rash of PS4 trailers comes the news that Ultrawings, Sprint Vector, and Dead Hungry are all making their way across the aisle to PSVR.
Bit Planet’s Ultrawings is an aerial-themed, open-world game where you’ll pilot multiple aircraft to complete a variety of missions across an island-themed world. Ultrawings currently holds a [9/10] on Steam for its HTC Vive and Oculus Rift version.
Sprint Vector from Survios, the developers behind Raw Data (2017), are bringing their foot-racing game to PSVR too alongside the Rift and HTC Vive version. The locomotion scheme is brilliant, and offers a nausea-free, fast-paced experience. Check out our latest hands-on here.
Dead Hungry from Q-Games is also headed to PSVR, which as a low-poly game makes a lot of sense. It’s done well on both Rift and Vive, and we’d expect the same out of the fast-paced action game that works a bit like Root Beer Tapper (1983) except with a much more complicated order and, you know… with zombies.
This news is breaking. Check back for more updates soon.
Ultra Wings is brilliant, highly rated but criminally ignored.

There are many SEO elements that you’ll feel comfortable doing, but you may find that you need the professionals’ help with some of the elements. This article’s advice might be what your company needs to start moving forward. There are a great number of ways to achieve good search engine optimization. If your system is tuned to maximum search efficiency, it will produce the most relevant results. In the end, better search functionality translates to a better user experience. You should identify yourself as a knowledgeable expert in the field in which you are doing business. This is a great way to get more customers out of your internet marketing campaign. You can do this by starting a website focused around your niche. You can additionally implement search engine optimization strategies to attract as much targeted traffic as possible. In doing so, make sure your website is centered on the actual needs of this target audience, not just on your perception of their needs. An SEO tactic you may wish to employ is maintaining a blog relevant to your site. It might also be a good idea to participate in discussions and activities on other related blogs. The algorithms used by search engines are particularly favorable towards blogs. Blogs are consistently updated and have structured data, both things algorithms like. Backlinks are the backbone of search engine optimization. Ask a non-profit to be your affiliate. Search engines look at results from these sites differently and rank them higher because they are considered reputable sources of information. Ensure that the quality of your content is high, and you may attract reliable, professional organizations who want to feature a link to your site on their own. Create valuable content that reputable organizations will find worthwhile.
You need to have a list of all of your site content if you want the most out of search engine optimization. It makes it much easier for the search engine’s spiders to crawl through your website’s information. If you site is on the larger side, a second map may be needed. Try not post more than 100 links to a map. Your website should be easy to read and navigate. If you want a higher rank you need to make your content easy to use and understandable. Include user functions such as the ability to make the text bigger. Your site should be optimized, not only for search engines, but also for your visitors. You should publish and write fresh content as much as you can. Outline weekly writing goals to keep yourself on track. Websites that produce fresh content generally appear more useful to search engines than those who barely update their sites. Higher page rankings are awarded to sites with frequent new content. When you make your site better for the search engines, you make your site better for potential customers. This fact gets overlooked by more than a few companies. If you truly want better rankings for your website, then make sure you take these tips seriously, and do your best to follow the steps required. High rankings are the goal, and quality SEO practices, once learned, can help accomplish this.

Mason, Tennessee, located in Tipton County by geography, but more socially and culturally linked to adjacent Fayette County, is the dead center of what might be considered West Tennessee’s Delta region. As a market town for both whites and Blacks in the surrounding cotton country, Mason became a place of recreation for Blacks on weekends, as most of the other towns were far more restrictive with regards to nightlife. In Mason, town officials turned a blind eye to the numerous juke joints that were euphemistically called “cafes.” With no closing ordinances, Mason cafes could literally run all night long, and attracted Blacks from a hundred-mile radius. People came from as far away as Cairo, Illinois and Blytheville, Arkansas, because in Mason, usually nobody cared what you did as long as you didn’t kill anybody. In the mid-sixties, things became even more energized, because a man named William Taylor shuttered his Chicago nightclub called Club Tay-May and then opened two Club Tay-Mays in West Tennessee, one south of the railroad tracks on Main Street in Mason, and the other one on Keeling Road near the antebellum Oak Hill mansion. These clubs attracted legendary performers like Little Milton, Little Johnnie Taylor and Rufus Thomas.
Unfortunately, as agriculture declined, and as people (particularly Blacks) moved to the cities, Mason fell on hard times. The cafes, largely adapting to a rap music and a younger clientele, became a focal point for violence. Club Tay-May burned and was never rebuilt, and the city passed closing ordinances to require clubs to shut down at 2 AM. Since this made Mason no different than Covington, Dyersburg or any other town in West Tennessee, those who had formerly come to Mason to party stayed at home instead. The downtown buildings where the cafes had been began to collapse and were condemned by the city.
Although Mason has fallen on hard times, there is still something of a unique culture in the community. Two of America’s best restaurants, Bozo’s Bar-B-Que and Gus’s World-Famous Fried Chicken are located in this little town of only about 500 people, and a few juke joints still remain on Front Street near the railroad track. Each fall, the town sponsors a Mason Unity Fall Festival, which sponsors activities for the young people, an opportunity for vendors and food trucks, and live music performances. At the initial festival in 2011, there had been no stage, only a DJ, and a few gospel choirs performed out in the street a cappella. This year, the city had brought out a full stage, and a good blues/soul band was on it when I arrived. The vocalist performing was named Charles King, but the band proved to be from West Memphis, Arkansas and was known as the Infinity Band. Unfortunately, compared to previous years, the crowd was fairly small due to the extremely cold, grey weather we were having. Even so, Saul Whitley was firing up the barbecue grill in front of his cafe The Blue Room, and the young men from the Whip Game Car Club were setting up a tent and cooking food as well. Several people knew me from social media, and thanked me for the historic photos of Mason I had put up online that I had taken back in 1991.
One of the sadder things was that so many of the cafes are gone, most recently The Black Hut having been torn down. A pile of cinderblocks remains where it was. Behind The Green Apple, which seems to be out of business, is an old abandoned hotel. Even the former Mason City Hall and Police Department have been abandoned and condemned. But I got an opportunity to talk to a woman who said that Ocie Broadnax of the Broadnax Brothers Fife and Drum Band was her great grandfather, and that he used to play for horse races at a place called Booster Peete’s on the Tabernacle Road north of Mason. Another older man told me that the Broadnax Brothers would beat the drums on the back of a wagon, and ride all around Fayette County to advertise that they would be having a picnic on the Saturday. He said the picnics used to be held at a place called Buford Evans’. So despite the chilly weather, I enjoyed myself immensely.
I came away from the event with the belief that Mason has an important legacy, and possibly a future. Clarksdale, Mississippi is living proof that blues tourism is a real phenomenon and very lucrative. It simply took leadership there with a vision to make it a reality. Mason has historic landmarks like Old-Trinity-In-The-Fields, historic houses like Point-No-Point and Oak Hill, and world-famous restaurants like Bozo’s and Gus’s. What if the old hotel behind The Green Apple was remodeled, modernized and reopened for business? What if a blues and heritage museum were opened on Front Street? What if the Lower End was declared an entertainment district and allowed to stay open later as Beale Street is in Memphis? What if the historic houses were occasionally open for tours? All it will really take is for someone with the vision to make Mason a destination for tourists looking for authentic culture in an authentic setting. It really doesn’t get any more authentic than Mason.
On a weekday afternoon, I had driven up to Mason, Tennessee after work to eat at Bozo’s Bar-B-Que, and had noticed signs around the little town announcing a “Unity Fall Fest” on September 19.
I remembered years ago in the early 1990’s driving out to Mason with a couple of friends and having a lot of fun at a large festival in the town’s square along the railroad tracks and Front Street, a neighborhood of cafes traditionally called “The Lower End.” That day, there were several hundred people out, live bands, singers and rap artists, and we had had a ball. But the times had not been kind to Mason. Although Mason was somewhat famous for Bozo’s Bar-B-Que and Gus’s World-Famous Fried Chicken, it was more famous for its rural version of Beale Street along Front Street. Tipton County was technically a dry county, so the clubs along the street were euphemistically called “cafes”, but they ran wide open day and night. Although the town was still in those days controlled by whites, they allowed the Black night life to operate without limits. Prior to the 1970’s, it was probably seen as a social safety valve, preventing the kind of racial schism that had wracked Fayette County, only a few miles to the south. And it was also lucrative. Most towns either didn’t allow such clubs at all, or had closing hours, so Black people came to Mason from Covington, Jackson, Memphis, Brownsville, Somerville, Dyersburg, sometimes even as far away as Cairo, Illinois. One true “club” (as opposed to a cafe) was across the tracks on Main Street, named for a famous Chicago blues club, the Tay-May. It booked acts of national importance, such as Al Green, Little Milton and Johnnie Taylor, and local folklore had it that Rufus Thomas first demonstrated the funky chicken there. But by the 1990’s, the music in the cafes had switched from soul and blues to rap and hip-hop, and the level of crime and discomfort to local residents from the Lower End had grown significantly. The city decided to change their ordinances to require the cafes to close at 2 AM, as clubs did in almost every other city and town in America. The results were immediate, and devastating to Mason. Tay-May burned in a spectacular fire and was never rebuilt. One by one, as cafes closed, the city condemned the buildings and had them demolished. Soon only three or so remained. A hoped-for Federal prison provided some jobs, but was not the salvation that Mason residents had hoped for. Soon, many of their retail stores were closing as well. Mason was dying.
The decision to call the new festival a “Unity” festival was also interesting to me. Despite its unusual culture and folklore for such a small town, Mason hadn’t been all that unified through my teenage years. Spiritually more attuned to adjacent Fayette County than Tipton, where it was located, Mason was an overwhelmingly Black community ruled by whites, and while it had not had the protracted discord that Fayette County had, things were still not great. Mason had never had a high school for white children, but it had had a Black high school, Gailor, which closed in 1965. In 1970 or so, the Black Fields Elementary School and white Mason Elementary School had been merged at the Mason campus. Fields was abandoned. In 1979, the principal of the school, Nevill Seay, allegedly kicked a Black parent. When WHBQ’s news crew came out from Memphis to the campus, he kicked a reporter with the cameras rolling. Dr. Isaac Richmond of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) appeared in Mason, and soon the elementary school was being boycotted. A few weeks later, so were many businesses in Mason, including the mayor’s grocery store, although strangely, many of the targeted businesses soon bought ads in Richmond’s newspaper, the Clarksville Voice. Dr. Richmond considered himself an educator, and soon announced the formation of a Black private school, the Mason Community School. Meeting in a former funeral home near Club Tay-May, it attempted to educate the students who were boycotting the elementary school, and it did so while flying the red, black and green flag of Black liberation. The school lasted a couple of years, and then it closed, as did Mason Elementary School, and the Tipton County Schools started busing everyone to Covington schools instead. In addition, old-time residents could speak of other divisive legacies. Although laws said differently, most Black people would not go into Bozo’s to order food or sit down, as they remembered when they were required to order food to go and not permitted to eat inside. And the old-timers shuddered as they crossed a bridge on the Gainesville Road west of town, where they knew a mob had lynched a man back in 1937. Perhaps the lack of unity was part of the reason Mason was dying.
September 19 proved to be a bright, blue, sunny and warm day, perfect for an outdoor festival, and so I drove up to Mason and started my day with lunch at the original Gus’s Fried Chicken. Then heading down Front Street, I saw where the downtown area had been roped off, and some tents, tables and children’s bounce houses had been set up. But sadly, the attendance was rather sparse, compared to what I recalled of the festival in the 90’s, and a check of the tents and vendors revealed that the majority of them were sponsored by churches, and only a handful by businesses, and of the ones that were sponsored by businesses, most were from towns other than Mason, where there were now few businesses. One tent, for example, was run by Suga’s Diner, a restaurant about eight miles or so up Highway 70 in the Haywood County town of Stanton. Although music was supposed to be part of the Mason festival, there was mainly just a DJ, and a few local church choirs. No bands or musicians appeared at all. The newly-elected Mayor of Mason was a woman, and she spoke briefly, speaking of the town’s challenges, and reminding her hearers that “with God nothing is impossible.” Kids were doing dances called the “whip and Nae-Nae” and “hitting the quad” out in the square, while the younger kids were bouncing in the bounce house, and their elders were going in and out of the two remaining cafes, the Log Cabin and the Green Apple. I had thought that the festival might provide me with an opportunity to finally see the inside of the cafes, but this proved to be disappointing. I did briefly walk into the Log Cabin, but it was easy to see that I had interrupted the everyday routine of the place. The privacy felt palpable there, and I certainly would not violate it by taking pictures. After that, I chose not to enter the Green Apple. Yet outside, a few people asked me to take their picture. Some of them seemed to think I was working for the Covington Leader and thought my pictures would be in the paper. I had to explain to them that I was a blogger, not a reporter, but they wanted their picture taken anyway.
Toward the early evening, kids began competing in a basketball shooting contest, and gospel choirs began singing a cappella on the one microphone near the DJ’s tent. The blues musician Big Don Valentine had posted on Facebook that he would be performing in Mason on Saturday and I had naively assumed that he meant at the Fall Festival. But people were now taking down the tents and the festival was winding down. Wherever Valentine was going on stage at 7 PM, it wasn’t at the Festival. So I left and headed over to Bozo’s Bar-B-Que for a dinner. While the Festival was rather sparsely attended, it had brought a lot of people together, both white and Black. And there had been no fighting or arguing to mar the day. Even the police were cordial. So in that sense, the Fall Unity Fest in Mason had been a success.
In the early days, when Tennessee was just becoming a state, Memphis had two rivals for dominance of the trade on the Mississippi River. Randolph, on a bluff some 30 miles north of Memphis, was the county seat of Tipton County, and about 30 miles north of Randolph was Fulton, in Lauderdale County. Since I had never been to Fulton, nor to Fort Pillow State Park, I decided to head out there one afternoon after a day of substitute teaching at Arlington Elementary. So I grabbed a late lunch at Bozo’s Bar-B-Q in Mason and then headed out through Covington to Henning, and from there out to where Google Maps told me Fulton should be. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed, as there is really no trace of the town of Fulton. There is a Baptist church, although the building looks fairly recent, and a few houses, all of which also look fairly recent. If there was a business district once, there is no trace of it now. But I did enter Fort Pillow State Park, and got a beautiful view of the Mississippi River from a bluff inside the park. From there, I headed north through the Wildlife Management Area until I got to the beginning of Highway 19, and a community called Ashport. While Ashport is never mentioned as a rival river port to Memphis, it must have had some significance, as it was on the river, and there was an Old Ashport Road that clearly ran from Jackson, Tennessee to the area. But there was little trace of Ashport, just as there was little trace of Fulton, with one exception- an amazing, monstrous ruin of a building on Highway 19. Covered with soft drink and beer signs, it appears that the building was most recently called Pop’s Place, and must have been either a beer joint or a grocery store, or perhaps some sort of combination of both. But the old brick two-story building with a wide set of steps in the center was clearly built to be something else, perhaps a school, although a check of the internet yielded little information, and it is hard to imagine the need for a school that big in the sparsely-populated flatlands near the river. Just beyond the ruin, the road climbed a fairly steep cliff on its way toward Ripley, and the view back toward the river in the sunset was beautiful. Unfortunately, there was no good place to pull over and try to grab a photograph of what I was seeing, and no guarantee that my camera could capture it either. So I headed on into Ripley, grabbed a blizzard from the Dairy Queen, and hit the road back to Memphis.
Every time I visit Front Street in Mason, Tennessee, it seems that another building has been torn down, burned down, or has just fallen down from age and neglect. The once proud row of jukes, known locally as “cafes”, has been reduced to three or so which clearly have seen better days. Called the “Lower End” or the “row”, the clubs made Mason a sort of rural African-American Las Vegas, a milieu of “players” that a local resident once described in a feature article for the Commercial Appeal.
But the glory days are long gone, as are Club Tay-May, the Purple Rain, the Black Hut, the Red Hut, most of them reduced to vacant lots. As a photographer, musicologist and blogger, part of me wants to photograph what remains…after all, it may soon be gone. But there are a number of older African-American men and women hanging out on the porches, and I suddenly feel that taking their picture would be disrespectful, almost an intrusion.
I face this dilemma all too often as I drive through Delta areas, looking for old architecture, juke joints and holy sites of the blues. Often I will see a perfect photo opportunity, and yet I will know that my taking it would either anger local residents or at least raise suspicions about who I am and what I am doing, and I hate the tortured past of race relations that makes this the reality in towns like Mason.
So I don’t take the photo, riding past instead, feeling disillusioned and hopelessly cut off from that world that I find so attractive. Up on Highway 70, a group of young men are shooting basketball, and outside the old Fields School, another small group of young people is standing around in the gathering dusk. A sign says that the old school is now Club Maserati. Bozo’s Bar-B-Que, the other reason that I have come tells me that they are closing for the night and cannot serve me, and down the road Gus’ World-Famous Fried Chicken is also closed for the night. Suddenly I realize that I came out to Mason for nothing at all.

How long has the customer owned the vehicle?
Does the customer service the vehicle at your dealership regularly?
Do they perform recommended maintenances?
Are they loyal to the dealership and/or the manufacturer?
Have they owned other “brand X” vehicles?
Manufacturers and dealerships will go above and beyond for loyal customers. These goodwill dollars are finite and tracked by the manufacturers to be reserved for the most loyal customers. In our experience, customer loyalty is most often rewarded by the manufacturer. Dealerships have finite dollars and will work hard for those that are regular customers.
Another reason you may want your vehicle serviced at a dealership is because dealerships have certified technicians with yearly training that update them on the new makes and models of each brand the dealership carries on the lot.
At our Monken Chrysler Nissan location we have 4 Certified Trained Technicians and 3 Master Technicians. At our Monken Chevrolet Buick GMC location we have 2 Certified Trained Technicians and 2 Master Technicians. A trained technician must have all certification that meet factory guidelines before they are able to work on our vehicles. A Master Technician has completed all levels of the training and are top notch.

Warmer temperatures are associated with more frequent extreme precipitation events, and they increase the atmosphere’s water-holding capacity, suggesting that flooding across the globe will become more frequent in coming decades. Such an increase would have costly consequences for agriculture, water resources management, ecology, insurance, and transportation and navigation industries, as well as for civilians living in flood-affected areas. In light of this, hydrologists and atmospheric scientists are working to develop a more nuanced understanding of projected flooding changes to accurately communicate risks to the public.
Slater and Villarini have carried out one of the first major investigations of regional changes in flood risk across the United States, from 1985 to 2015. Using data from U.S. Geological Survey records, the researchers looked at 2042 catchments (areas that collect water) to determine the number of flood events that ranked above the National Weather Service’s four flood categories: action (the stage first reached, indicating that some level of action must be taken to mitigate effects), minor (minimal public threat but some road inundation), moderate (some inundation of roads and structures, possibly requiring scattered evacuations), and major (extensive inundation of structures requiring significant evacuations). Tracking these categories, which are used to monitor and forecast flood risk, helped them to understand how a region’s flood risk had changed over time and how it might continue to change.
The researchers found that flood risk changes varied greatly from region to region, depending on a variety of factors, primarily overall wetness and potential water storage. For example, in southeastern Louisiana, they found that the number of days experiencing flooding has been gradually increasing in frequency (from “action” to “moderate” and beyond), whereas South Carolina’s flood risk has been decreasing.

Don’t I get any say in my treatment plan? Is there a place I can be seen and heard while also getting the best medical care?
When we’re caught in the throes of disease, it’s easy to become focused on the symptoms. We want to feel better. We want to be free of pain. It’s often why we seek medical treatment in the first place.
But we are so much more than our symptoms. We may find ourselves running in circles, visiting specialist after specialist with no answers or trying treatment after treatment with no improvement. One person might become frustrated and angry, another might feel forsaken and that no doctor cares, while another feels a sense of hopelessness that recovery will ever come. We may also find ourselves exhausted or overwhelmed from all the information or treatments we’ve had to do to fight or treat the condition. The long and short of it is Illness often contains a stress component.
A naturopath sees each person as a multifaceted individual and treats all of those facets as an integrated whole. As we begin to feel whole again, that wholeness then becomes a wellspring of power, allowing us to achieve greater levels of healing than we may have thought possible.
Every person is different, from the genes that determine our physical makeup to the cultural influences that shape our minds. Deep down, we crave to be known and honored as the unique beings we are. When we feel respected for our differences, we begin to trust. A part of us is able to finally relax, opening the door to deeper healing.
Needs. Our needs are some of the most powerful expressions of who we are. When they aren’t met, we suffer—and so does our health. In the course of our tangled and harried lives, it’s easy to become so disconnected from our needs that we no longer recognize them.
Desires. Our desires stem from our emotions, and they can tell us a lot about ourselves: what we dream, what we fear and what the soul longs for. When our desires are heard and respected, we feel empowered and strong. When they’re brought into alignment with our needs, we become balanced and whole.
Beliefs. As we progress in life, we develop a set of beliefs around our experiences. These become a lens through which we see the world, coloring our perceptions and influencing our decisions. Beliefs can be nurturing and uplifting, such as belief in a higher power, or they can be harmful, such as a negative belief about ourselves.
Lifestyle. Our lifestyle consists of the choices we make about the things we do on a regular basis—what we eat, where we live, who we surround ourselves with, how much sleep or exercise we get. Necessity and external circumstances can sometimes limit or influence our choices, as can our mental or emotional state. A naturopathic physician helps the patient adjust the lifestyle factors that can be changed while working within the patient’s limitations.
Choice. When our individuality is honored, we reconnect with our own inner guidance. We become active partners in our own healing.
Feeling like we have options and are empowered to choose our own way can make all the difference.
Natural medicine gives you additional options. A naturopathic physician can provide the same excellent standard of care you would get from any medical physician while offering a vast array of alternatives.
It starts with getting to know you and your condition well. Then a naturopathic physician will present important information about both the standard of care and the alternatives. You’ll be able to discuss the pros and cons of each option together. You can also get information about what you might be able to expect with each option. You’ll be able to ask questions to clarify why a recommendation is being suggested as well as, bring up any concerns you might have.
Together you and your naturopath have the opportunity to discuss which options you have resistance to and why; as well as, which options you resonate with. Once the provider understands these things it allows you and your provider address and process these issues so that you both understand them better and can make decisions to meet your needs as a whole person.
Once you and your provider have all the information needed you will be able to tailor your treatment plan to meet your individual needs. This allows you to feel as sense of peace and empowerment that you are making the best choice for your health as a whole.
The naturopath seems like a good fit.
The naturopathic clinic feels like a healing place to you.
They’ve helped other people with conditions like yours.
The visit resolves into a relaxing experience.
You feel optimistic and uplifted about continuing.
Are you ready for a healing approach that treats you as a whole person? Call Heart Spring Health’s Portland naturopathic clinic for an initial visit today at (503) 956-9396 or fill out our online form.

When using the "editing-started" signal in GtkCellRenderer (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkCellRenderer.html#GtkCellRenderer-editing-started) you get an "Editable". However it is not clear from the documentation how long this Editable will live, leading to problems such as those described in #152 (closed). In the case of CellRendererText it seems that the Entry widget is unmapped and unparented after it loses focus, but is not destroyed until the CellRenderer that created it is destroyed.
The documentation should state what happens when the Editable loses focus and when it is destroyed. This will allow application programmers to design their code accordingly.

text: Alien Hunter is one of the leading online slots in the Playtech range and sees players heading out on an epic adventure that combines comic book style graphics with the retro inspiration of games like space invaders. As always, the objective is to match up as many symbols as possible, with various aliens and even the player’s spacecraft representing some of the most valuable icons in the game. Assistance is close at hand from the likes of the Captured Alien symbol, which acts as a wild card, together with three scatter symbols. The first is the Space Ship, which pays out an instant spot prize, and the second is the Alien Egg, which activates a bonus round that takes place in an alien cave, where players are tasked with destroying the eggs to reveal cash prizes and multipliers, stopping only when one of the aliens discovers the intruder. Finally, the Alien Hunter itself is another scatter that opens up a separate bonus round, where the player takes on the aliens directly with their trusty ray gun. The round ends when the player has successfully taken out six aliens or when they run out of time, at which point cash winnings are instantly added to their balance. You can try out all of this action and much more absolutely free here on this page at Mr Gamez.

Holiday season is just around the corner and it is impossible to resist the holiday spirit! Everyone loves Christmas decorations, and if you are looking for some new and simple ideas for different spaces in your home, you will find plenty here.
Even though Christmas tree is considered to be the number one item on the decoration list, let’s just think out of the box and start with your entryway to create a warm welcome. You can fit some plants on your porch, and opt for a big wreath for your front door. You can also choose smaller embellishments with a touch of frosted white elements that create a stylish and modern look.
Keep on decking and move to the stairs. Christmas lights wrapped around Christmas swags create wonders! You can also place the presents on the staircase to create a fresh, fun, and chic look. Try not to go overboard as there are still so many spaces to decorate.
And for the most important part of the house, your living room, decorate with existing color scheme you have in your room. Decorate your Christmas tree with golden ribbons for an elegant look, and wrap some tinsels around if you wish. If you have a fireplace, hang up some stockings and do not forget to add some decorative Christmas lighting as well. Try not to overwhelm the room with too many Christmas decorations, instead, opt for lighter colors and a few accessories like a bag of pinecones on the table or next to the tree, for example.
You can also add a touch of holiday spirit by adding some colorful and Christmas-themed pillows and throw blankets. There are numerous living room styles for Christmas, and you can choose from Scandinavian style with light and simple touches, a traditional sturdiness, a fresh touch (for example using wreaths on the living room walls), a white theme, a colorful theme, Christmas decorations with rustic themes and many more.
Try to choose according to your existing style and colors, and take a look at these amazing ideas below to get some inspiration and get into the holiday spirit! Happy holidays!
