At a cup of coffee, in a subway or at lunch, there always is time for a few fresh game trailers. That’s why we decided to collect them all together, so you won’t have to go through a pile of news.
IO Interactive showed their new video for the upcoming episode 5 of Hitman. It’s no secret for people familiar with the game that the developers switched to a “series” propagation model (say hello to Telltale games, we are longing for endings). There will be a special edition in January that will collect all episodes in one piece. Camera can be moved in the video.
Bungie released a new DLC for their great game. Destiny: Rise of Iron gives us a lot of everything, as usual. New weapons, campaign, reids. We can’t wait until weekends already!
Get ready to kill nazi again. Sniper Elite 4 revealed a new gameplay video. It’s going to be funny, stabbing the brain through the helmet. Fortunately or not, February 14 we will be playing For Honor, but the moment we are tired of vikings, samurai and knights, we will definately go to Italy! | 2019-04-25T19:40:58 | https://bytextest.com/2016/09/21/trailers-for-today/ |
Just 6% of pet insurance policies match what Sainsbury’s Bank believes is adequate cover, according to its Pet Insurance Charter.
The bank said this highlighted a deterioration in quality from the previous year, and it warned cat and dog owners to be cautious when they chose a policy.
Twelve months on from the launch of the bank’s Pet Insurance Charter, which outlined what it believes should be the minimum levels of cover for cats and dogs, the bank’s analysis reveals that just 6% of pet insurance policies currently meet this. The corresponding figure in 2005 was 12%.
It claimed that more than a third of policies didn’t cover veterinary fees in excess of £3,500 and around half did not include treatment for long-term conditions, the two key elements of cover pet owners are most likely to require from their pet insurance policy. This failure of pet insurance policies to evolve in line with advances in veterinary science means that pet owners could find themselves being left severely out of pocket and not being able to afford the necessary treatment for their cat or dog. | 2019-04-26T03:52:21 | https://www.yourmoney.com/uncategorized/pet-insurance-falls-quality/ |
Amanda Todd’s Story: Are Parenting and the Internet to Blame?
by Ron Huxley LMFT.In Family Healer Blog.Leave a Comment on Amanda Todd’s Story: Are Parenting and the Internet to Blame?
Cyberbullying (well, bullying in general) is becoming a bigger problem for today’s youth. The internet has created a web of connections that allows teens to harass others from behind a screen and never be held accountable for their actions. Now, another teen has reportedly taken her own life due to bullying which occurred both on- and off-line.
Amanda Todd of Canada made a bad decision when she was in seventh grade. It was while talking on a webcam that she flashed a stranger. Although the incident seemed to be forgotten, a year later she was faced with the possibility of the photo surfacing and being shown to everyone. Threats ensued and the picture eventually released. She was depressed, as can be imagined, and things never seemed to get better, despite the fact that she was on antidepressants.
She uploaded a Youtube video detailing her bullying through the use of note cards and then allegedly committed suicide. The video has gone viral and has really struck a chord with people. Why did this young girl choose this fate? While some may blame the bullies, there are others who are blaming the parents, and not just in Amanda’s case, but in these kinds of stories in general.
The Vancouver Sun ran a report, outlining the reactions to Amanda Todd’s story from all around the world. While nearly everyone agreed that the story was tragic, many felt that the internet is to blame. Many pointed out that through the use of social networking, teens are connected 24/7. However, it isn’t solely an internet issue, though, is it? Many users also pointed out that it is a parent’s responsibility to monitor what their children do on the internet. Of course, these days, kids are connected to the web via their laptops and their smartphones, the latter of which can make it harder to monitor.
The problem is all of this technology is very new and too often, parents aren’t exactly keen on how it works.
Amanda’s mother seemed to help her the best she could, even relocating her daughter to a different school when the bullying got out of hand. Sadly, the bullying followed her there, something that she was virtually unable to escape.
Several Facebook pages have gone up in memory of Amanda, one in particular reaching nearly 34,000 likes at the writing of this article. There, many people have expressed their condolences and continue to discuss what needs to be done to prevent teens from taking their own lives due to bullying. | 2019-04-18T15:03:13 | https://ronhuxley.com/2012/10/15/amanda-todds-story-are-parenting-and-the-inte/ |

Cuisine is perhaps one of the most important windows in to a culture. At the table we create a special bonding, a sense of harmony and a connection with a place, its people, its culture, tastes and traditions. I hope you will join us for what I believe will be one of the most unique and satisfying dining experiences during your stay here in the Barolo & Barbaresco wine country. It is indeed an important moment for us also, a special opportunity to serve you, perhaps to get to know you better.
The cuisine you will find here is my personal one that is all about the joy & aliveness of quality, fresh ingredients. I use an abundance of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs grown in my garden. My staff says my cuisine is colorful and I love that description! Although local food traditions are quite recognizable, I have lightened and brightened them for modern sensibilities and added small & exciting surprises; I would say mine is an imaginative but unpretentious take on the cucina Piemontese.
One last word about my kitchen, I am proud to say that my entire staff are all Italians. I do not use lower paid foreign workers, here in Italy doing apprenticeships to staff my kitchen - unlike many of the other upscale restaurants, all throughout Italy. My sous chef is Giulio Villa with experience in a number of Michelin starred restaurants, Garde Mangier & Pastry is Federico Corrado & Stefania Del Tufo (both graduates of Alma, Gaultiero Marchiesi’ s Culinary Academy) works her magic with me at the pass, plating. My staff are wonderful! We hope you will join Us!
Open Wednesday through Sunday from 8:00 pm. | 2019-04-24T22:40:58 | https://www.hotelcastellodisinio.com/en/restaurant.php |
You are here: Home » THE INSIDIES OF YATES, THE STRENGTH OF FROOME THE CALCULATIONS OF DUMOULIN. WHAT AN AMAZING TOUR!
MONTE ZONCOLAN: Chriss Froome goes up, but Simon Yates does not go down. Tom Dumoulin resists, he deeply resists. The Giro d’Italia is beautiful, very beautiful. The Monte Zoncolan has not left great detachments, it is not crucial but it leaves so many toxins in the legs. And now, they start again and get closer to Trentino for the Trento-Rovereto time trial.
There are several hints of interest in the fight for the pink shirt. It will be definitely interesting to see Simon Yates’ reaction in the third week. The Englishman could live his first time as the undisputed protagonist, with all the stress that concerns it. Every day the leader of the race undergoes a series of extra efforts, due to the fact that the team must manage the race itself. In addition, a lot of commitments even after the race. The protocol includes anti-doping control, awards and interviews. He spent at least an hour in these activities. A lot of time, for those who pay attention to every single detail. In the economy of a great race, where attention is focused also on marginal gains, these are particulars that can weigh.
Moreover, Yates has a great fitness since a long time, during the spring he has already been a protagonist in several races. He does not think about it and he just keeps gaining ground every day. In some ways, he is already a moral winner of this Giro, but the option that he can go down is real.
And finally, there is Froome, coming back to success on the hardest climb. He was able to survive the falls and the crazy pressure that weighed on him. He has not collapsed from the nervous point of view and for this reason he has several reasons to be very confident. First of all, it has a palmares and an experience that no one in the group can boast right now. Secondly, his morale is skyrocketing. He found himself, he has prepared the appointment and certainly he would not loose a unique opportunity with a super-equipped team. The third week is on his side.
Lastly, Tom, hidden, silent but present and concrete. His gap is still good and last year he overtook at the last stage. Also at Zoncolan he demonstrated tactical intelligence and an incredible physical strength. In the end, he only had 37″ of detachment and in the standings he had 1 ‘: 24″. Not too much for a turbo like him.

After watching Haseena Maan Jaaegi for the millionth time, I decided enough was enough. I needed to do something more and make my life more meaningful. I mean, I just couldn’t spend all of my free time just watching films. Even KunjBihari and Chachaji above would agree.
So I decided to write and blog about films as well.
Welcome to Filmy Potato. Of course I am a real person and am on Facebook as well. But it’s just not possible to bombard everyone with just posts about Films. Everyone is too busy with Politics, Babies and Life changing quotations. Hence, this.
Welcome to Filmy Potato and thank you for reading! | 2019-04-21T01:03:01 | https://filmypotato.com/about/ |
Spacehog invite you to get up close and personal in the video for 'Try to Remember.' Frontman Royston Langdon lathers up and goes in for a shave as he sings the lyrics, but as he looks in the mirror and drags the razor over his face, methodically removing stubble, he doesn't quite make eye contact with the camera.
It's pretty trippy, thanks to the background visuals, and you also get a view up his nostrils and at his pupils. It's almost uncomfortably intimate in its artiness, and the clip features other disconnected footage that will mess with your mind as well. But in a good way, of course. | 2019-04-22T10:14:30 | https://diffuser.fm/spacehog-try-to-remember-video/ |
Guidelines on How to Select the Best CFO Services.
Each business requires to use the accounting services. Conversely some companies lack enough money to be used in paying the accountants which means they do without hiring them. Hence, the company looks for other services like outsourced accounting services. The companies which provide the CFO services are many, and so, you should consider picking the best one for you to get quality services.
You need to consider the experience of the company offering the services. They should prove they have been providing the CFO services for several years. However, dealing with a dentistry facility cannot have the same accounting services like a restaurant. For that reason, the company should also show that they have been offering the services to firms which are similar to yours where they gain the expertise needed to handle your company’s services. The firm should also have dealt with companies which are the same size or even more significant than the size of your company. It will be advantageous since the company you will utilize for the CFO services will have the necessary expertise to handle those services even if your firm thrives.
You need to decide whether your firm will utilize one consultant or use a firm which has several consultants working together. At times, for the firms to offer the services well they outsource some consultants. Thus, you should select the consultant you know will work for your firm.
You should determine the number of months or years the firm will provide the services. At times, you will find that some of the CFO firms offer their services with contracts of one year, of which you have a chance of getting another company to provide the services after one year if the one you were utilizing didn’t satisfy you. Hence, you have a chance of choosing another firm to provide you with the accounting services because the former one didn’t provide exceptional services.
You need a firm which is insured because dealing with financial accounting it can lead to errors which might lead to a significant loss. Hence, the insurance provider of the insured firm you have utilized the accounting services from, will pay your business the loss it has experienced which means the company is protected from such a loss. | 2019-04-18T13:23:31 | http://weddingconstruct.us/2018/07/03/the-essential-laws-of-accountants-explained |

Jason Curiel of Corpus Christi TX thought his wife was kidding last year when she suggested they call their new son ESPN (pronounced ‘Espen’), but the couple loves sports so they went ahead and named the lad for the sports network. So, wouldn’t it be worth a grand to have babies named after your station call letters? It sure would generate word-of-mouth!

Lake County has been chosen to participate in a pilot project aimed at reducing the demand on detention centers while ensuring criminal defendants make their court appearances. Lake County Chief Deputy Attorney James Lapotka says the 2017 Legislature established an evidence-based risk assessment program for managing defendants who are released awaiting trial.
The pilot project, which includes Missoula, Butte Silver-Bow, Yellowstone and Lewis and Clark Counties is funded with $800,000, according to Lapotka. He says Lake County’s share is $130,000. The project is slated to run through July 2019. Lapotka says after that time data will be collected and presented to the Montana State Legislature. If the data shows positive results the project could be extended to other counties and possibly across the state. Lapotka says the pretrial supervision program has proven successful in other western states and is catching on nationally.
The PSA, and the Montana pretrial supervision model was developed by a Montana team of prosecutors, public defenders, court officials and law enforcement personnel.
According to information provided by the Montana Judicial Branch and released to the media through the Lake County Attorney’s office, the PSA was created by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. It is considered to be the “gold standard” for aiding judges in making evidence-based decisions about release and release conditions.
More information about the PSA is available at: www.arnoldfoundation.org.
Lake County has been under pressure to deal with an overcrowded jail and lack of courtroom space for quite awhile. The courthouse was supposed to have been expanded when the second department of the 20th judicial district (Kim Christopher’s seat) was created by the state legislature. The late Judge CB McNeil issued an order directing the Lake County Commissioners to do so before he retired. | 2019-04-26T10:45:46 | http://www.valleyjournal.net/Article/19542/Detention-Center-demands-to-be-reduced |
While Richard Sun spent most of his working life maximizing shareholder value, he says Mississippi Coding Academies, of which he is a co-founder, is about maximizing human capital. The program takes recent high-school graduates and trains them for 11 months in becoming full-stack coders, or those who have enough functional knowledge and skill to take a computing project from start to finish.
Because of the program's work, the Jackson chapter of technology organization CompTIA Association of Information Technology Professionals, or AITP, named him Mississippian of the Year.
"That was quite a validation," he says. "... I was given the award because they had to give it to one person, but it really represents a collective achievement of everybody that's involved with the academy."
As a military brat, Sun traveled with his family around the U.S., living at Air Force bases such as Eglin Air Force Base near Destin, Fla., and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. He received his bachelor's degree in politics from Princeton University in 1972 and then his master's degree in finance and international business from New York University in 1975.
For 25 years, he worked in positions such as an associate in private finance for Goldman Sachs from March 1976 to January 1981, the first vice president for UBS from February 1991 to March 1994 and the director of global private equity firm Emerging Markets Partnership from March 1994 to April 2001.
He and his wife, Phyllis Hollenbeck, moved to Jackson in 2008 to advise a local businessman. He joined the Innovate Mississippi board of directors in 2009 and served as chairman from May 2015 to May 2017.
"Innovate's function is to help for-profit company, people with ideas, create for-profit companies from those highly innovate, high-potential companies," he says.
In February 2017, Sun and Innovate board of directors members Mike Forster and Deborah Bailey were talking to Glen McCollough at the Mississippi Development Authority about what the Base Camp Coding Academy in Water Valley was doing. After seeing a need to connect more coders and potential coders, McCollough asked them to create a similar program in Jackson and eventually Columbus and then Starkville: the Mississippi Coding Academies.
The program in Jackson began in October 2017, and the one in Columbus began in November 2017. That program later moved to Starkville. In September 2018, the Mississippi Coding Academies graduated 12 coders. Three coders from the Jackson academy and one from the Starkville academy went to work at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's Engineer Research and Development Center, a major government research lab, in Vicksburg.
"There's a lot people teaching coding in a lot of different ways," Sun says. "What is special about ours is it's a full-time, 11-month program, Monday to Friday, 9 (a.m.) to 5 (p.m.). It's like an unpaid apprenticeship. They're working as if they would at a company, and if you saw what they were doing, it wouldn't look like a classroom. It would look like a company that's writing code."
While there is some formal instruction, Sun says, 80 percent of the time the students are working on coding.
"It's much more 'learn coding by doing projects,'" he says.
The students also go through project evaluations, and the coding academies will also bring in potential employers to let the participants experience corporate performance reviews.
"When our coders graduate from here, they have the experience of working in a company-like environment for 11 months," Sun says. "They have been held to the standards they would be when they're working, and they've gone through several performance reviews."
As a result of those reviews, some of the coders have been hired before graduation, Sun says.
"You can think of them as an extended interview," he says.
He says there are about 1,200 unfilled coding jobs in Mississippi and 500,000 in the U.S. "Companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, are constrained in their ability to grow by the lack of these coders," Sun says. "We haven't trained enough of them."
Some coders may learn computing better in a workplace-simulated environment as opposed to in a traditional classroom setting, he says, and computer programmers and web developers are so valuable and mobile that companies cannot afford to invest in training them because they will leave before the business gets its return on investment.
"The inability to get people like this trained either in a corporate environment or in volume in an academic environment means there's this huge hole in the workforce," Sun says. "As an unconstrained startup, we could find an effective way to train these coders."
He says there is a huge need for coders who are not going into computer science. If we train people like musicians, artists, writers and graphic designers in full-stack coding, he says, they could write better code because they could apply their skills to user interfaces.
"It's much better to have somebody with an artistic aesthetic doing that coding work, writing the web programs that create the browsers and the apps," he says. "It's a part of computing that's called, (UX/UI), user experience, user interface, and the people that can do that well, i.e., the people that have the technical and computing skills and the artistic skills are some very valuable people in the industry."
Sun believes he and the coding academies received the award from AITP largely because of the coders themselves.
"They gave us 11 months of their time for free," he says. "You could look at it as free college or free trade school ... but we hadn't done it before. They put a huge trust in us." The Mississippi Coding Academies' next class of coders start in June 2019. The program is also doing Veterans Code, where participants receive coding and workplace training five nights a week.
