Impact Craters in Aboriginal Dreamings, Part 2: Tnorala
----Notice to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: This article contains the names of people that have died.
In the previous post, I discussed Arrernte oral traditions relating to the Henbury crater field in the Central Desert. As I said, Henbury is not the only impact crater in Arrernte country with an associated Dreaming. Let us now travel 175 km west of Alice Springs, where we see 5 km-wide ring-shaped mountain range that stands 150 metres above the desert, representing the remnant central uplift of an eroded 22 km-wide complex crater (Figure 1). The scientific explanation is that this structure formed from a comet impact some 142.5±0.8 million years ago. The Western Arrente call this place Tnorala and consider it sacred. Arrernte Elder Mavis Malbunka (Figure 2), wife of Herman Malbunka, the Traditional Custodian of Tnorala from Ntaria (Hermannsburg), explains the origin of Tnorala in Arrernte traditions and its importance today:
Figure 1: Gosse's Bluff, called Tnorala by the Western Arrernte. Image by Georg Gerster.
In the Dreaming, a group of sky-women danced as stars in the Milky Way. One of the women, who was carrying a baby, grew tired and placed her baby in a wooden basket, called a turna or coolamon. As the women continued dancing, the turna fell and the baby plunged into the earth. The baby struck the earth and was covered by the turna, the force of which drove the rocks upward, forming the circular mountain range we see today. The baby's mother, the evening star, and father, the morning star, continue to search for their baby to this day. She continues:

"We tell the children don't look at the evening star or the morning star, they will make you sick because these two stars are still looking for their little baby that they lost during the dance up there in the sky, the way our women are still dancing. That coolamon, the one the baby fell out of, is still there. It shows up every winter." The coolamon (Figure 3) is the constellation Corona Australis, the Southern Crown.

Mavis warns visitors to "Be careful at night. These two stars are looking for their child, Tnorala." Still today, that evening star comes at night with big lights. The white man call it Min Min light, but we know it as the bright light of the mother looking for her child".
The famous Min-Min lights, which are an unexplained atmospheric phenomenon or probably an optical illusion, are frequently reputed to be the baby's parents. "We were chased by a bright light, and the old man, my husband, realised what it was and told them that it's from the Dreamtime and it's still looking for the child. The mother must have thought that she had found her little child. Then we saw the star go up to the heavens". Although they are identified as the "morning star" and "evening star", they are not explicitly identified as Venus. Mavis notes "that was the last we saw of it, but with this big summer, we might get to see the two stars again. They don't show themselves all the time. No! Only every now and then."
There is a long history to Tnorala that goes well beyond the stars. Cosmic impacts, murders and land rights are a component of Tnorala's turbulent past. To learn more, watch the full video, which you can purchase from the CAAMA.
We respectfully acknowledge the Arrernte people and the custodians of Tnorala, Herman and Mavis Malbunka.

Q: Proving group properties of $G$, a set of $2 \times 2$ matrices with rational entries Let $G$ be the set of all $2 \times 2$ matrices whose entries are rational numbers and whose determinant is equal to $3^n$ where $n$ is a nonnegative integer.
Prove that $G$ is a group with respect to the matrix multiplication.
Take $A,B \in G$. $A,B$ have rational entries, and we can see that the product of two matrices with rational entries is a matrix with rational entries. So $AB$ has rational entries. So if $A,B \in G, \: AB \in G$, hence $G$ is closed under multiplication.
Lastly we need to show that it contains inverses. Suppose $A \in G$, and let $B = A^{-1}$ be its inverse. Suppose $A=(a_{i,j}), B=(b_{i,j})$. We know that $AB=I$. We know that if $i \ne j$ then $\sum_{k=1}^{n}{a_{i,k}b_{k,j}=0}$ and if $i=j$ then $\sum_{k=1}^n{a_{i,k}b_{k,i}}=1$. We can see these equations as linear equations where the $b_{i,j}$ are the variables and the $a_{i,j}$ are the coefficients. So we get that the ($b_{i,j}$) satisfy $n^2$ linear equations. To solve these equations we just need to
add them together and divide by the $a_{i,j}$. All of the coefficients are
rational numbers so we can see that the solutions to these equations
are rational as well. So the $b_{i,j}$ are rational. Thus the inverse of a
matrix with rational entries also has rational entries. So $B \in G$.
Hence $G$ is a group under matrix multiplication.
Does that work? Should I include something about identity?

Let $$H=\{A \in G \mid \det A = 9^m\ \text{for some nonnegative integer m} \}$$ Prove that $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$.
This means we need to show, $\forall h \in H, \: \forall g \in G$ that $ghg^{-1} \in H$.
I am not sure the best way to go about this, thoughts?

Describe the center of the group $G$.
This means we need to show $Z(G) =$ {$z \in G|\forall g \in G, \: zg=gz$}.
I am not sure the best way to go about this, thoughts?

A: Hint: Find a $2\times 2$ matrix with rational entries and determinant $3$. Is the determinant of the inverse of the shape $3^n$, where $n\ge 0$?
Remark: If we replace $n$ a non-negative integer by $n$ is an integer, we indeed get a group. The problem with your proof is that you did not use the fact that the inverse of a group element must be a group element.

I struggle getting gifts for family and loved ones especially at Christmas time. The difficulty lies in selecting the best possible gift. My predicament is threefold: First, they may already have what I'm planning to get them. Second, they may not care to value or use it. Third, given they really need it, I worry if I have the means to pay for that gift! Have you faced a similar dilemma? The issue is whether a gift can been 'afforded' and then 'received' with appreciation.
Separated from a holy God, we lack peace and to add to our helpless estate, the wages of sin is death! Jesus came that first Christmas as God's gift of eternal life (Rom.6:23). Jesus was 'born to die that we might live, He came to earth new life to give'. Christmas is further proof that God is loving and giving, faithful and forgiving. God knew our greatest need so he gave us the perfect gift in the person of Jesus. We usually don't see a person as a gift and take people for granted. Yet, thinking about it, interpersonal relationships are the most valuable gifts one can have and needs to cherish. Peace, goodwill and a quality of life are ours for the asking and by receiving Jesus as personal Savior.
Having said that, isn't Christmas a time for exchanging gifts? God who graciously gave us a priceless gift deserves something in return. But what gift can we possibly give our Creator and Redeemer that is appropriate and that he would desire! If the best gifts are always relational not just transactional, then the perfect gift you can give anyone is yourself. This thesis was modeled and demonstrated in the Incarnation that first Christmas when God gave himself to us in the person of Jesus. Those who gratefully receive this 'incomparable' gift find it 'unspeakable', i.e. there is no language to express its true worth! (2Cor.9:15). The Bible unpacks what the best gift is that we humans can give God in response to his gift of life due to Christ's death and resurrection. It is 'to present our bodies a living sacrifice' and it clarifies that such a gift 'is good, pleasing and perfect' to God (Rom.12:1-2).
What can I give Jesus, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I'd bring him a lamb! If I were a wiseman, I will do my part, I know what I'll give him, the love of all my heart!
Have you personally received the best gift ever given? Have you given God the perfect gift of yourself? Let me leave you with two more thoughts this season: People who do not have the gift of Christmas in their heart, will never find the perfect gift under a tree or elsewhere. And, for those who have Christ in thier hearts, Christmas time or anytime is the perfect time to share with others the best gift of all – Jesus. There has been only one Christmas; the rest are anniversaries! God's salvation is a gift that keeps on giving!

Wireless Charging Powers Forward for Mobile Devices
By Tony Bradley
Gadgets are increasingly becoming more mobile and wireless, and we're breaking free of cords and wires--or so we wish. Even wireless devices have to be plugged in every so often to recharge their batteries. Wireless charging technology could change that, though, and enable us to live in a truly cord-free world.
What if you could travel with just one charging option for all your digital devices, instead of lugging around a tangle of charging cables? Wouldn't it be nice if you could set down your smartphone on a special charging table or car dashboard to power it up without any cords?
Major growth is coming soon for the wireless charging market, according to market research firm iSuppli. The company predicts a 65-fold increase in the overall market in the next few years, and estimates that more than 230 million electronic devices with wireless charging functionality will ship in 2014.
In this article, I'll discuss the pros and cons of inductive and conductive wireless charging technology, and I'll describe how three wireless charging products worked for me.
Why Wireless Charging?
Plugging your device into an electricity source with a cord is a tedious pain--especially when you consider the diverse array of connector types and power cords involved. Traditional charging relies on electricity conducted directly between a device and a connecting physical wire or through contact with batteries. On the other hand, inductive charging uses magnetic and electromagnetic energy to induce a transfer of power wirelessly. Many electric toothbrushes charge this way.
Most smartphones rely on old-fashioned conductive charging, requiring you to plug in the handset. However, you can charge the Palm Pre by placing it on the HP Touchstone wireless charging base, because inductive charging technology is built into the Pre's case. Both HTC and LG announced smartphones at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show that include wireless charging capabilities built into their batteries.
Other wireless charging options include the Energizer Qi, the Powermat, and the Duracell MyGrid, all of which enable users to wirelessly charge a variety of gadgets and devices.
It's awesome to be able to charge a mobile gadget without the hassle of untangling cords and plugging it in; you just set the device down on a charging pad and walk away. A single charging system can work with devices from different manufacturers, and in some cases it can even charge multiple devices simultaneously.
The technology still has some kinks to work out, though. For each of your devices, you need some sort of charging sleeve or a connector to a charging module; unlike the Palm Pre, other gadgets don't have inductive charging technology built in.
Another drawback is that you must have access to the charging mat. The convenience of not having to worry about cords is lost when you must ensure that you have both the right proprietary inductive charging sleeve and the appropriate charging mat.
In Video: Wireless Power Charges Ahead
Wireless Charging Standard
Imagine if hotel rooms came standard with universal charging mats. Instead of having to carry the bulky chargers for your laptop, mobile phone, tablet, e-reader, and music player--and being out of luck when you forget one at home--you could simply set your gadgets on the charging mat.
That's the goal, more or less, of the Wireless Power Consortium. The organization--consisting of more than 70 companies--is developing the Open Inductive Charging Standard, more commonly known as Qi. Named for the Chinese word for "life force," the Qi standard enables devices from different vendors to charge interchangeably as long as they are Qi-compliant. Only a handful of Qi-compatible products are available currently, and the standard has existed for just a few months, but so far it's showing impressive momentum.
The key to the long-term success of wireless charging is standardization. As long as charging systems such as the Powermat work only with their own proprietary hardware, the concept will continue to be a niche novelty. But if many vendors agree to standardize devices and to make charging systems interchangeable, as is the case with the Energizer Qi, the possibilities are nearly limitless.

Jamaican jerk chicken is usually a laborious and lengthy culinary commitment. We've streamlined this Caribbean experience for you. Juicy bone-in chicken breasts are basted with our not-too-spicy favorite jerk sauce. (Wait, who you callin' a jerk sauce?) You'll peel and slice ripe plantains (the ones with black spots are perfect for this use) and cook them with brown sugar in the same pan as the chicken, so they soak up all that chicken-y goodness. These bold flavors are perfectly complemented with lightly sautéed kale and coconut milk rice.
Awesome ingredients... plantains? WOW! This is what I would expect to eat in Jamaica. SO good!
I loved this recipe. Hope see more spanish inspired meals with Home Chef being a hispanic woman in America. Thanks!
Everything about this meal was delicious. It even made me enjoy kale, something I've never liked before.
Dear gawd, one of our favorite recipes. The jerk sauce was amazing, the coconut rice was perfect. Really love this dish, great job!
Shake coconut milk well before opening can.
Trim ends off plantain and make a slit down the side. Push your thumbs between skin and flesh of plantain and peel skin away. Cut plantain into ¼" slices on an angle. Mince chives. Stem kale and coarsely chop. Pat chicken breasts dry, and season both sides with ¼ tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.
Bring a small pot with rice, half the coconut milk, ½ cup water, and ¼ tsp. salt to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender, 18-20 minutes. Remove from burner, fluff with a fork, and set aside. While rice cooks, sear chicken.
Toss plantains with ½ tsp. olive oil, brown sugar, and ¼ tsp. salt in a mixing bowl. Heat a large non-stick oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and chicken, skin side down, to hot pan and cook until skin is golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Flip chicken to skin side-up, and cook 3 minutes.
Flip chicken skin side down again, and add plantain slices. Place pan in oven and roast 8 minutes. Carefully, flip plantains and roast until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 8-10 minutes. Carefully, remove pan from oven (handle will be hot). Transfer chicken and plantains to a plate and set aside. While chicken cooks, sauté kale.
Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and kale to hot pan. Stir occasionally until just wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.
Plate dish as pictured on front of card, saucing chicken with jerk sauce and garnishing meal with chives. Bon appétit!

2019 Africa Cup of Nations, Group Stage
Egypt Egypt EGY
Congo DR Congo DR COD
Ahmed El Mohamady (25')
Mohamed Salah (43')
Salah scores as Egypt progress to round of 16
Backpage Pix
Egypt forward Mohamed Salah scored his first goal of this year's Africa Cup of Nations to help the hosts to a 2-0 win over Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday which guaranteed them a place in the round of 16.
Ahmed Elmohamady broke the deadlock in the 25th minute, turning the ball in following a corner, before Salah netted a clinically-taken goal two minutes before half-time, sparking delirious celebrations at the Cairo International Stadium.
The result was harsh on the Congolese who twice hit the crossbar in the first half and spent most of the second on the attack in the Egyptian half.

- Full Africa Cup of Nations fixtures schedule
Egypt, with six points from two games, guaranteed a top-two finish in Group A while Congo, who have no points, must beat Zimbabwe in their final match to have any chance of going through as one of the best third-placed teams.
"I want to congratulate our opponents, who played a good match, they played very well, created chances, I think in the second half they were better than us," said Egypt coach Javier Aguirre.
"We scored two, we could have scored a couple more, we have six points."
The match was played in stifling heat and even at half-time, at 23.00 local time, it was still 29-degrees-Celsius.
The Congolese made a bright start as Tresor Mputu's free kick was flicked on by Jonathan Bolingi and Marcel Tisserand touched it onto the crossbar.
They also shut out the hosts but, just as Egypt seemed to be running out of ideas, they went ahead from a set-piece.
A corner was taken short to Salah and he sent an inviting cross into the area. Elmohamady and Christian Luyindula both went for it and it rebounded for Elmohamady to neatly turn into the net.
Congo hit the woodwork again as Bolingi out-jumped his marker, only to see his header bounce off the crossbar.
Throughout all this, Salah looked as if he was in for a frustrating night after his disappointing evening in the 1-0 win over Zimbabwe.
The Egyptian icon had an early chance when he was given a clear run on goal but Tisserand managed to get a foot to his shot and deflected it wide.
Shortly after Egypt's first goal, Salah had a free kick brilliantly saved by Ley Matampi but his frustration ended two minutes before half-time.
Mahmoud Trezeguet charged out of defence and released Salah who cut inside a defender and planted the ball in the net.
Congo dominated the second half and were again unlucky not to score their first goal of the tournament. Bolingi had a header brilliantly saved by Mohamed El Shenawy and Yannick Bolasie sent a free kick centimetres wide of the post.
"Unfortunately, we didn't score but we hit the bar twice and had other chances," said Democratic Republic of Congo coach Florent Ibenge. "I feel bad for the players."

Canada Launches USMCA Challenge Against Softwood Lumber Duties
Canada Launches USMCA Challenge Against U.S. Softwood Lumber Duties
Trade Update • DECEMBER 21, 2021
The Trudeau government announced on Tuesday that it has launched a challenge under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement against what it says are "unjustified" U.S. antidumping and countervailing duties on Canadian softwood lumber.
The latest chapter in the decades-long dispute involves the Commerce Department's second administrative review of AD/CVD on certain Canadian softwood lumber imports, which determined that the new combined duty rate for most producers will be 17.9% — double the prior figure of 8.99%.
Canada "remains extremely disappointed" by the decision, International Trade Minister Mary Ng said in a statement. Pointing to various trade tribunal rulings on the issue that "have consistently found Canada to be a fair trading partner," Ng said Ottawa "is confident that rulings will continue to find Canada to be one."
Ottawa has already launched a trade remedy proceeding against the first administrative review under the provisions of USMCA Article 10.12 last year, which is still ongoing. Ng said the latest challenge "is another step that Canada is taking to defend the forestry sector and Canada's national interests."
The move was applauded by the B.C. Lumber Trade Council, which reiterated its "steadfast" position that the "unfair" U.S. softwood lumber duties are harmful not only to Canadian producers and workers but also to U.S. businesses and consumers. "This is particularly concerning as these duties remain a threat to post-pandemic recovery on both sides of the border," the group added.
As reported here, the Trudeau government has "been under fire from opposition parties for not preventing the new round of tariffs, particularly given expectations that trade disputes would dissipate with Joe Biden in the White House rather than Donald Trump, with his protectionist policies.
"Conservatives have been calling for the Liberals to adopt a clear and strong stand with the Biden administration to tackle U.S. protectionist policies and deliver tangible results for Canadian workers for months," International Trade Critic Randy Hoback said in an emailed statement to CBC News.
A World Trade Organization panel last August found that Commerce had improperly imposed countervailing duties on Canadian softwood lumber, but the U.S. appealed that ruling "into the void" of the non-functioning Appellate Body.
Additionally, a WTO panel in April 2019 ruled that Commerce had improperly calculated its levies on softwood lumber, while also siding with the U.S. over its use of the controversial "zeroing" methodology in calculating antidumping duties. Canada appealed the case, but no Appellate Body report has been issued.
Conflicting U.S. Interests
The National Association of Homebuilders has urged the U.S. government to drop the softwood lumber tariffs, which they claim "have contributed to unprecedented price volatility in the lumber market… leading to upward pressure on prices and harming housing affordability for American consumers." The group says the administration "needs to work with Canada to end the tariffs and achieve a long-term, stable solution in lumber trade that provides for a consistent and fairly priced supply of lumber."
Lawmakers — for the most part, Republicans — have also called on the administration to reach a "balanced agreement" with Canada "to help create certainty and predictability in our supply chains" and "because it would provide predictability for lumber producers and homebuilders," they assert.
Opposed to such a move, the powerful lobby group representing U.S. lumber producers continues to insist the tariffs are necessary to offset the harm caused to them by Canada's "gross underpricing of timber" and the dumping of "heavily subsidized" lumber into the U.S. market.
In a statement, the U.S. Lumber Coalition said it "remains open to a new U.S.–Canada softwood lumber trade agreement if and when Canada can demonstrate that it is serious about negotiations." Until then, the group says it "fully supports the continued strong enforcement of the U.S. trade laws to address Canada's unfair softwood lumber trade practices."
Since taking office, aside from some brief discussions, there has been little high-level engagement by the Biden administration on the issue. Last May, USTR Tai told the Senate Finance Committee that in order to have negotiations leading to an agreement, "you need to have a partner. And thus far, the Canadians have not expressed interest in engaging," she said.
In her announcement, Ng concluded on a hopeful note, expressing Ottawa's willingness to achieve "a negotiated solution to this long-standing trade issue that would allow a return to predictable cross-border trade in softwood lumber for the benefit of workers in both countries."

Edward Koren: The Capricious Line
Oct 28 2016 - Dec 23 2016
Syracuse University Art Galleries
Edward Koren: The Capricious Line celebrates the five-decade career of renowned cartoonist and long-standing contributor to The New Yorker, Edward Koren. This exhibition profiles approximately 50 original works on paper, many displayed for the first time. Edward Koren: The Capricious Line was developed by the Wallach Art Gallery at Columbia University and encompasses an eclectic set of themes Koren tackles with his wry, astute criticism. Curated by Diane Fane and David Rosand and organized for tour by International Arts & Artists, Washington D.C.
With over 1,000 cartoons published in The New Yorker since 1962, Koren's distinctive style and relatable characters deftly articulate the neurosis of contemporary society. Touching on a diverse set of issues ranging from parenting to man's relationship to nature, Koren creates succinct scenes that portray man's awkward rapport to the environment. In contrast to other cartoonists' aggressively political caricatures, Koren's decidedly non-confrontational tone uses psychological acuteness and philosophical provocation to elicit laughs and stimulate thought.
The Capricious Line not only honors the accomplishments of this beloved cartoonist but also asserts his status as an artist. The full-scale, heavyweight ink drawings which have up until now only been experienced as postcard sized images in the pages of the New Yorker highlight his mastery of drawing. Koren's art is all about drawing and the imaginative worlds it can unveil and record. Through this impressive collection of works, Koren shares the sheer fun and joy of drawing with his audiences. These innovative illustrations demonstrate the psychological, philosophical, and comical talents of Koren's pen.

'Lex & Terry' back on the air in 'Freakville'
Tracy Collins
It's been a convoluted journey that involved several moving van trips between Jacksonville and Dallas and moves up and down the radio dial.
But Lex and Terry are back in "Freakville" (their affectionate name for the River City).
As of last week, the Givers are back on the air from 6 to 10 a.m. weekdays at WJXL (1010 AM), and both Lex Staley and Terry Jaymes are pleased with the change.
"Talk shows, like ours, do better on talk stations," Jaymes said. "So, this is an ideal situation for us. It's a total guy's show."
1010XL, an AM sports talk station, now has the "most powerful personalities in the market when it comes to guy shows," Staley said.
One of those powerful personalities, however, is noticeably missing. WJXT TV-4 sports director and former "Lex & Terry" regular Sam Kouvaris' midday show was bumped when Dan Hicken and Jeff Prosser's morning show moved into his and David Lamm's slots to make room for "Lex & Terry."
Staley and Jaymes said they would love to have Kouvaris back as a regular on their show, but as of right now, the budget won't allow it. Lamm will still appear on 1010XL, but no longer has his own show.
"Lex & Terry" is syndicated on XM Radio and in 19 cities. The duo, now based in Dallas, said they don't plan to make another move back to Jacksonville, but they hope to visit often.
"Jacksonville is not just an affiliate for us; we treat it like it's our home city," Jaymes said. "It means a lot to us. That's why we're really glad to be back."

We're going to start a series today with word origins and history (etymology).
During the 18th and 19th centuries the word "cirugiano" was also used. It comes from Latin chirurgia, which comes from Greek kheirurgia (surgical intervention), although etymologically it means "manual work" and "practice of a job", whjch derives from kheirurgein (working with your hands), made up of kheir (hand) y érgon (work).
The word dicha, which comes from the verb decir, means "things that were said", but it also means "happiness", "good luck". What does it the verb "decir" have to do with the meaning of "good luck"?
The Romans believed that a person's happiness depended on words the gods said when someone was born, and their fate was written in the dicta (the thing that was said). This old belief is also in the origin of the word hado (fate), which comes from fatum, passive participle of fari (speak, say).
An iconoclast is basically someone who destroys or ridicules cultural icons or institutions. The first iconoclasts were the members of the Oriental Church in the 8th and 9th centuries of our era. In some cases, the Orthodox Christians destroyed the icons of their Catholic counterparts. The word iconoclasta comes from vulgar Latin and it was made up with the Greek words eikon (icon) and the verb klaein (break, destroy).
If you feel curious about the origin of other words or expressions in Spanish, drop us a line and we'll answer your questions.
The word "mano" comes from the Latin "manus". Even though it adopted the final -o in Spanish, it retained its original gender from Latin (feminine), ending up as a rare case in Spanish (most nouns ending in -o are masculine in Spanish).
I am interested in etymologies of Spanish nouns ending in /-a/ that are masculine in gender. el dia, , el idioma. Any insight out there?
Because I realized the Hindi word Kama means sexual pleasure…. and I know the spanish language gets SOME of it's words from arabic… so maybe that's not THAT far off from hindi, y'know?
The word "cama" in Spanish has an unknown origin, certainly pre-Latin, and probably Iberian or Celtiberian. The connection with Sanskrit is not too far-fetched, and would make quite a nice hypothesis.
@david there are some spanish words with sanskrit roots, like 'naranja' which comes from the sanskrit 'naranga' among others, correct?
That´s correct. We have words like "ajedrez", "sándalo", "carambola", "jengibre", etc.
There are also words from caló (Spanish Roma dialect) that can be traced originally to India, where the gypsies came from: "akai", "churumbel", "parné", etc.
Hi. I would like to know… What is the correct way to refer to a map.
My dear Mother-in-Law and I are debating on the issue… Thanks!
The correct form is "el mapa". Originally, the word comes from the medieval Latin expression "mappa mundi", where "mappa" refers to "napkin" or "canvas", as the material maps were painted on. Even though "mappa" is a feminine noun, "mappa mundi" (map of the world) was lexicalised in Spanish as a masculine noun, and "mapa" is an abbreviation of that expression, retaining the masculine gender.
"Chimuelo" and "molacho" both relate to the word "muela" (back tooth), derived from the Latin "mola", which also gives us the English medical term "molar".
Do you know the origin of the word "denuncia"? I'm trying to figure out whether it starts off as a legal term or if it originally had another meaning.
What is the origin of the words fulano y mengano. also the origin of the word zutano ??
@Virgilio sandoval Fulano and mengano come from Arabic, via Southern Spain. They mean "this man" and "whoever", respectively.
Zutano and citano are derived from Latin, meaning "known".
I'd like to know the origin of the word 'bisiesto', leap year. The dictionary says it comes from bisextus in Latin but can someone deconstruct the word a little more? 'Bi' frequently means two. Sextus, six? I'm not seeing the connection, except that February is the 2nd month.
@Jessica Julius Caesar introduced a lot of modifications to the Roman calendar. To make everything fit in the same way we know now, he added an extra day to the month of February, between the 23rd and the 24th. Those days were known as the sixth and fifth before the Kalendas Martias, (March). The new day was called in Latin ante diem bis sextum Kalendas Martias . "Bisiesto" comes from the "bis sextum" part.
Why do restaurants use the word "apretalados" for shrimp wrapped bacon? Is that even a word?
@sand Can you share with us the abbreviations you are having problems with?
Does anyone know the etymology of the word "pinchos"? And do you have a citation for it?
@Curious It depends… are you referring to an object or food?
@Curious "Pincho" as an object comes from the verb "pinchar"/"punchar", from the Latin "punctiare", which also gives you "puncture" in English.
"Pincho" as a portion of food comes from the Basque "pintxo", which is derived from the original Spanish word "pincho". However, this meaning is particular to the Basque Country, and now used widely in Northern Spain to refer to tapas or small portions of food to be consumed while drinking. They were traditionally served in a skewer or with toothpicks, to be consumed easily.
David, both if you have the info . . . .Thanks.
Your exchange of spanish word etymologies really caught my attention. Would anyone have the origins of the word 'lastima'? Am doing an in-depth research on the spanish words and its origins. Would be grateful for any inputs from you guys. Thanks.
What's the origin of the term "darse cuenta de"?
@quietthinker It doesn't have an origin. It's not an idiom.
But there's no known source for the word itself?
What is the origin of the word 'derecho' as in "Usted tiene derechos" and what is it's connection to it's English counterpart, right?
@bt It comes from the latin "directum", meaning something that's right, straight or rigid. In English, it comes from the Old High German "reht", which also meant straight, correct, or moving in a straight line. The connection is that there is a common Indoeuropean stem formed by the letters REG- and slight variations of it in multiple languages, all referring to the same idea.
Can you please tell me the etymology of "hormigón" meaning concrete in Spanish and what connection it may have to "hormiga" meaning ant. Thanks.
can you explain the meaning of Prieto, and why it would be used as a last name?
What are the origins of Spanish words, desayuno, and despertar? It seems that these two words must be related.
There are so many words in Spanish with the prefix des- , but des- seems to mean many things. Is there a resource you know that will define such and similar prefixes?

Nimit Akhawat: Little Leonardo
New Delhi, December 07: Soaring ambitions and unending inquisitiveness are two defining characteristics of Bengaluru-based Nimit Akhawat, who is on a continuous hunt to refine the purpose of being in life. Born in 2011 to Prashant Akhawat and Shalini Akhawat, Nimit is a Greenwood High International School, Sarjapur, Bengaluru student.
Nimit's aspirations to explore Medical Science stemmed from a vacation he took at the age of eight when he visited his grandfather after he completed his 3rd grade. He was utterly in awe of anything and everything related to medical science. His grandfather is a retired surgeon by profession, and like every other child, Nimit loved spending time with his grandfather. As a practicing doctor, his grandfather consulted patients, and Nimit had an opportunity to observe these consultations and quench his thirst for unending inquisitiveness about human body functions, diseases, and treatments. However, the human brain is a pandora box of never-ending curiosity, and the hunt starts to discover and learn more.
After a point, it became quite noticeable that Nimit was inclined toward medical science. His motivation to learn Medical Science was his grandfather's appreciation and his school principal's assurance to provide him with a platform to showcase his talent. He spent hours learning more about neuroscience to present the same to his grandfather on a Whatsapp Call to get that incredible appreciation. That virtual pat on the back was like an Oscar to him.
When Della Torre approached Leonardo da Vinci to draw a human body as an illustration for a text, Da Vinci drew more than ten human bodies (despite the death of Della Torre) merely out of his curiosity to learn about human anatomy. Da Vinci's work in the medical field is considered unrivaled even today. Nimit's endeavor to educate himself in the field of medicine is reminiscent of Da Vinci's endeavor to learn about and contribute to the field of medicine. He is undoubtedly a little Leonardo in his capacity.
Seeing his passion and curiosity for medical science, his parents gifted him two books initially, i.e., "The Human Body Book" and "The Brain Book". By the age of nine, Nimit engaged himself in multiple medical learning courses, including Dr. Najeeb's Lectures, Dr. John Campbell, Lecturio Medical Lecture Series, and Oncology (Cancer) lectures from some top IVY League Universities. By the time he was 11 years old, he had his own library of books of many disciplines. He loved those Medical Lectures and spent hours learning Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology, Gross Anatomy – Head & Neck, Eye & Ear – Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology, and Cardiovascular Physiology.
To direct his efforts, his parents led him to the path of primary research, as packing the brain with a lot of information has no meaning unless applied to a cause. This gave orientation to his learning with a definite purpose in Neuroscience and Brain Computer Interface research. He is continuing his quest to deep dive into Neuroscience, EEG (Electroencephalogram), Statistics, Brain Computer Interface, Machine Learning and Research Methodology to pursue his first primary research work.
Due to his exceptional talent, Nimit got featured in the "Rising Youth Superstars of India 2022", The Child Prodigy Magazine 2022, and also bagged a record on his name with the Title "Detailed explanation of maximum medical science topics by a child" in India Books of Records (IBR). As per IBR, "The record for giving a detailed explanation of the maximum number of medical science topics was set by Nimit Akhawat (born on February 25, 2011) of Bangalore, Karnataka. He explained 87 topics of 4 medical science branches, namely 49 topics of Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology, 12 of Eye Anatomy and Physiology, 15 of Microbiology, 11 of Cardiovascular Anatomy and Physiology, at the age of 11 years, 7 months and 22 days, as confirmed on October 17, 2022".
Nimit wishes to commit himself to research in the field of Neuroscience, Brain Computer Interface, and Cancer. As a near-term target, he aims to understand the science behind the Human Brain and decode the surface of information processing of the human brain. He further plans to research the biological processes involved in the onset of cancer, its growth, and its spread in the body. With this research, he wants to develop targeted treatment and prevention strategies and possibly develop a cancer treatment drug.
Nimit is not just good at studies. He loves devotional music and learning to sing and also plays tennis and cricket in his free time. He is highly disciplined and manages his academics efficiently. He also started his YouTube channel – Medical Learning with Nimit Akhawat (https://www.youtube.com/@nimitakhawat), to share his learning.
He believes everything is possible if you are committed, passionate and persistent toward achieving your goal. Age is just a number; intent to do something is the key; knowledge can be acquired. His ambitions are inspirational and would greatly benefit society when realized. His perseverance to refine his purpose is in line with the Japanese concept of "IKIGAI" i.e. "A Reason for Being in life" which means "Life with a Meaning", something that gives a person a sense of direction and happiness. A person's ikigai can be anything: a passion, a dream, a mission or a vocation.
At the tender age of eleven, Nimit is a great source of inspiration. He would definitely go on to achieve his dreams one day. Just like Da Vinci, this little Leonardo's work too shall stand unrivaled someday.

Festival List
Dave Matthews Band | Golden 1 Center | 9/7/19
Article Contributed by Alan Sheckter | Published on Thursday, September 12, 2019
Equal parts romance lyricist and swashbuckling stage performer, Dave Matthews and his band ran through 21 songs at the Golden 1 Center arena in Sacramento on Sept. 7, and the enthusiastic crowd was with Dave every step of the way. The band delivered an almost three-hour grunge-free virtuosic fusion of rock, jazz, folk, and soul with plenty of jamming pizzazz. Its configuration was spotlighted by Matthews' always-captivating South African-accented voice, and acoustic and electric guitars, all awash with rhythms, horns, woodwinds, and keyboards.
With massive screens of fascinating animated line drawings and video snippets operating behind the band, Matthews opened with a snappy "Why I Am" to ignite the show. The fairly rare opener was likely a tribute to LeRoi Moore, beloved Dave Matthews Band co-founder and former bandmate who would have been 58 on this day. Moore contributed a saxophone jam to the song's studio version, the recording of which was completed after he died from complications from an all-terrain vehicle accident in 2008. Matthews sang, in part, "When my ghost takes me from you, you will remember the fool that I am, so don't cry, baby don't cry."
The band didn't throw in any of the covers they may have been expected to sample, i.e., Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer," Steve Miller's "Fly Like an Eagle," or Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower." Yet the crowd seemed fine with that fact, ebbing, flowing, and singing along, like on "Grey Street" and "Everyday" during the course of the evening.
The Golden 1 show was the 38th for Northern California's Wendy Marsters, the first being in July 1999. "The energy, the stellar jams, the family of fans," Marsters replied, when asked what makes DMB so special. "But ultimately, it's the theme of love. Big love, the kind that can change the world. That's what I get filled up with every time I go to a DMB show."
Emily Rivera and her friend Dee traveled from suburban Boston to catch the run of Northern California shows. Rivera, who has seen 70 shows since her first in 2000 at Foxboro Stadium, said the DMB has been a positive mainstay in her life. "Through the good, the bad, and all my ups and downs, their music has helped me past it all!" Rivera said. … "His music was playing in the room as I welcomed my son into this world, it put me to sleep the night I lost my mother to cancer and calmed me down when I wanted to jump ship and quit nursing school. Literally a life saver. I have had many wonderful experiences and have made friends all around the world by following the band – all over the U.S., Mexico, Canada, you name it."
The band, which still includes drummer Carter Beauford and bass player Stefan Lessard, both of who've been with Dave from the start, covered material that spanned the course of their existence, including "The Song that Jane Likes" as well as hits, "Typical Situation" and set-ender "Ants Marching," all from 1993's "Remember Two Things" album. The band also mixed in nicely selections from their 2018 album "Come Tomorrow," including "Again and Again," "Do You Remember," and the title track.
Other notable offerings included "The Space Between," "Warehouse," "Grey Street," encores "Granny" and "Stay," and "Drunken Soldier," which had only been played once prior on this tour, and that was the first since 2015.
The summer tour represents a little more than a year since the departure of fiddler/mandolinist Boyd Tinsley, who had been a mainstay since 1992. But surprisingly, he didn't seem missed, with other players filling out a complete rainbow of sounds and textures. "Do I miss Boyd? Surprisingly no," Marsters said. "The band has done a great job of filling those spots in with keys, horns, or Timmy <Reynolds> on guitar and the songs sound fresh again."
Reynold's lead guitar work was spot on, though always within the context of the song. He never found the need to be too much in the spotlight or dominate the proceedings, though did crank out a mean blues/slide solo on "Cornbread."
Beauford, always representing the backbone of each song with his crisp and complex drumkit beats, was on point all night, whether it be for his perfectly timed hi-hats and cymbal work or his kick-drum flurries.
Lessard, playing over Matthews' left shoulder throughout, delivered an integral, satisfying, steady as she comes, component to each song.
Though Beauford and Lessard provide crucial drums 'n' bass punch, that can be overlooked important components of the DMB sound, band veterans Jeff Coffin (sax, woodwinds) and Rashawn Ross (trumpet, backup vocals) brought forth lots of high-end audio colors to each song's canvas.
Coffin, a former Flecktone (for Bela Fleck) and a music clinic instructor, was fierce throughout, offering powerful sax passages and particularly sweet, almost vocal-like passages on the clarinet and other instruments, such as pennywhistle soloes during "Bartender," for which he ended with a snippet of "If I Only Had Brain" from "The Wizard of Oz" film.
Standing next to Coffin, Ross, a Berklee College of Music grad with all sorts of diverse work on his musical resume, was also an important part of the mix, augmenting many-a-tune with trumpet flourishes.
Finally, new kid on the block, keyboardist/backup vocalist Buddy Strong was embraced by the large crowd, sure for being the newest member of the family, but also for his soulful keyboard embellishes, and extended crowd-pleasing solo on "Everyday." His awesome chops shouldn't be a surprise as he previously toured with Usher, Ariana Grande, and other big-name popsters.
Though the DMB has played near Sacramento over the past several years, this was the first show in the city in 20 years (July 13, 1999, at Arco Arena, at which Jimmy Cliff opened).

Progressive jam giants Umphrey's McGee's return to Las Vegas for the seventh installment of the massively popular UMBowl production was marked once again by a stand-out tour closing dual evening extravaganza where all stops were pulled out and the power given directly to the fans, for better or for worse.
On June 24, Round Records & ATO Records will release GarciaLive Volume Six: July 5, 1973 – Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders, the latest installment of the celebrated GarciaLive archival series. The three-CD set was recorded at the 200 capacity Lion's Share club formerly located in the small town of San Anselmo, CA, just 20 miles north of San Francisco. The performance features Jerry Garcia performing with friend, mentor and legendary keyboardist/vocalist Merl Saunders. The duo is joined by drummer Bill Vitt and bassist John Kahn, who soon became a lifelong Garcia collaborator.

As one of the longest-established online casinos, Betfair has an enduring presence which has kept it as one of the most popular around, particularly for players in the UK. With good bonuses, regular rewards for loyal customers, incredible payout rates, the unique Zero Lounge and the latest technology backing up the games, it's not hard to see why Betfair is one of the biggest and best online casinos, particularly for experienced and regular gamblers.
If you're looking for a good bonus to get you started, Our Betfair Review shows this site has a decent offer to boost your initial bankroll. The standard sign-up bonus of 100% up to £100 is respectable, but isn't too high by the standards of other sites (although this can be up to £1,000 just for slots.) Yet you can also get an easy £5 no-deposit bonus, a prospect which is proving increasingly rare on online casinos now, and get a simple £10 free for betting £10 in addition to the other bonuses.
Our Betfair casino reviews have shown regular promotions, however, offer some better value, as for regular and loyal customers, it's difficult to top many of the promotions on offer. Promotions, such as regaining some of your losses in blackjack, come and go; they are posted monthly, and you can also get bonuses for referring friends. Betfair also offers a structured bonus system in addition, where regular customers will be rewarded for how much they deposit. For high-rollers and regular players, this can be a great way to keep your bankroll ticking over.
Ultimately our Betfair review shows that the bonuses on offer are pretty good. While they won't be as eye-catching for new customers as other sites, the option to test the site for free with a no-deposit bonus is always a massive plus, while the regular promotions can be very good for regular players. If you're just looking to claim as much back on your deposit as possible, you can do better elsewhere, but over the long term, you'll be better off at Betfair.
Although Betfair Reviews show this site doesn't offer quite as huge a variety as some of its competitors, with over 100 slots, over 50 table games, and a wide variety of video poker games in addition to Betfair poker and Betfair bingo, very few people will feel that there's not enough here to satisfy them. The games are all top quality too, with relatively little filler and live dealers on many of the games, including blackjack and roulette, which is a huge advantage and makes for a much more engaging experience.
Where Betfair really comes into its own, however, is the zero lounge, a host of games where the house advantage is eliminated with the right strategy (which is willingly given out on the website). For more experienced and regular gamblers, it's hard to find much of a better deal than that. Of course, you won't get bonuses on these games, since that would skew the advantage to the player and effectively make them free money, but if you're in it for the long haul and want to reduce your losses (who doesn't?) then this is a great way to play. Just be aware that you can very likely still lose money here, with your earnings and losses only approaching zero over time the more you bet – although Betfair has several built-in ways to help you gamble responsibly.
Betfair's software is top of the range, and although it doesn't use quite as wide a range of providers as some of its competitors, the quantity remains enough to satisfy most gamblers – any more would be verging on overkill. The only problem is that the choice on Betfair can be a bit of a problem as the site isn't as easy to navigate as some others – if you want to have a look at a few different slots, for example, to find out the rules and payout structure, you'll have a hard time, having to click through to different pages each time and making it difficult to compare games and prizes.
Despite that, all of the games on offer are high quality, so you won't go too far wrong. Although Betfair doesn't have a dedicated casino app, the site runs smoothly on a wide variety of devices, so you shouldn't have any problems if you prefer to game on your mobile or tablet. The technology keeping everything running is solid and at the highest industry standards, and although the site can sometimes be irritating to navigate around and flick between different games to find the one that suits you best, technical problems seem to be extremely rare, and rapidly solved when they do occur.
With Betfair being a huge, established company, their customer support department is excellent. You can get in touch through live chat, phone or Twitter 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the staff are helpful at responding to any problems and getting them sorted as quickly as possible. Professionalism is something you can expect when you use Betfair, and unlike with smaller casinos, you won't have to worry about having them look after your money or about gaming here.
While online chat with live advisors 24/7 is a standard expectation for a lot of online casinos now, the usefulness of Betfair's system, combined with being able to access support through a variety of methods at any hour, makes them really stand out if anything does go wrong. The website in general seems to run perfectly with relatively few hitches, and there have been very few reports of any problems with either using the site or withdrawing and depositing money. But if you are unlucky enough to come across a problem, you can rest assured the Betfair team will take care of it as quickly as possible, which is a comfort to anyone, particularly if you're gaming with higher sums of money.
We found in our Betfair casino review that few companies can compete with Betfair when it comes to deposits and withdrawals, with an excellent service on offer. Firstly, card withdrawals will take two to five working days to go through, and in practice this is almost always at the shorter end of the scale, one of the quickest waiting times around in online casinos. Secondly, a huge variety of payment offers are available, including PayPal (although these aren't currently available on mobile, but are planned for the near future. You can still deposit on your mobile account with them, you'll just have to use the main site to do so). Thirdly, the PayPal option will only take a maximum of 24 hours, often allowing you to get hold of your cash on the same day.
With so many options backed up by the excellent customer service team at Betfair, when it comes to depositing and withdrawing money, you should have a smooth and easy experience without any worries or hassle. You'll also be able to get your hands on your well-earned winnings more quickly than is the norm for most online casinos, particularly if you take the option to use PayPal, which is a huge positive, no matter what level you're gambling at.
Another area where BetFair Reviews show this site excels is in the payout policy at the casino. The reported levels of payouts have been as high as over 98%, meaning you won't be majorly out of pocket in the long run. The Zero Lounge boosts that to 100%, an incredible opportunity for anyone who's serious about gambling or wants to persist for the long haul, and something that you won't find anywhere else. Betfair also has independent companies assess the fairness of their games and their random number generators, so you can be sure you won't be getting cheated.
Our Betfair casino review shows that the only problem with Betfair in this regard is that for more serious gamers, Betfair can be a bit difficult to find out the exact structures, with information like payout audits often withheld, and other information not always available for many of their games. While the superb reported payout rates, the zero lounge and the independent verification should set your mind at ease, if you're wanting to know in minute detail what you're getting for your money, you might have a hard time finding that out on Betfair. In general though, particularly when compared relatively to the online casino world, Betfair will keep your losses at a minimum.
Some of the best payouts on any online casino, with a very low rate of losses over time which will be great for long-haul players and high rollers.
The zero lounge, another great positive for regular gamers, which offers a unique service of 100% payouts that can't be found anywhere else in online casinos, with BetFair even providing the strategy to take the most of the offer.
Excellent customer support and the backing of an established, professional company to put customers' minds at ease.
A high and professional standard of games, with live dealers on many table games.
Good bonuses available, including no-deposit ones to allow you to try out the casino without risk.
Great features such as exchange games, allowing you to bet on other players taking part in games.
A good withdrawal system which allows you to access your winnings with a minimum of fuss and quicker than most online casinos.
Payments to a wide variety of countries and with a wide variety of different systems to give a global experience.
Welcome bonuses aren't the largest around and other websites may prove more attractive for big first-time deposits.
Many of the advantages can be skewed towards regular players – occasional players might not get the most out of the offers.
Website not always easy to navigate between games and can be difficult to compare different games against each other.
Not quite as much variety as some other online casinos.
With Betfair being a large, established company, you can be pretty secure in choosing to game here and dealing with them as a company. The customer support and level of professionalism throughout the whole experience is one of, if not the, best on offer in the online casino world. For serious gamblers, the payout levels are also excellent, with the Zero Lounge offering an experience that no other casino can compete with, and will even give you the details of how to get the most out of it. Over the long haul, almost nowhere comes out looking better than Betfair.
If you're a regular player at casinos, then it's hard to find many places better than Betfair. The huge payouts, bonuses to reward loyal customers, and excellent service make it a great site for people to gamble regularly on. Those who are only occasional players may find that they don't get the most out of Betfair, although they're still free to take advantage of the no-deposit bonus to try it out. The difficulty of comparing some games can be a problem, but many of the table games are pretty self-explanatory.
Overall, Betfair still has something for everyone. Even if you're a casual gambler, there's still plenty to recommend here and you can be assured of a great service throughout your time on the website, as well as a smooth experience with the minimum of problems. It's easy to see why Betfair casino reviews rank the site as one of the best around.
Betfair is a great site which I have been using from day one of my online casino experience. The site includes table games such as baccarat, roulette and craps, slots games and scratch cards. There is also a huge Live Casino which gives you a great experience that is extremely similar to a real casino. For a long standing customer such as myself there are a lot of huge payouts and bonuses for loyalty. The Zero Lounge is the best feature on Betfair and in my opinion is what makes the site one of the best online casinos.
I had a few problems when I was starting up my Betfair account which was due to a website glitch. Nevertheless, the team on live chat did everything possible to help me out to ensure I didn't lose any of the bets which I had placed just before the glitch. The customer service team are available 24/7 via phone or the live chat which I think should be the standard of every online casino (although this is unfortunately not always the case).
I found it quite difficult when I first started on Betfair to navigate my way around the site. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of organisation within the site particularly the home page, but once you get used to it gets easier. There are so many games on the site that there is something for everyone.
I was disappointed with how difficult Betfair is to use. Finding my way around the site was harder than it should be for a brand like Betfair, and it can be very difficult to compare similar games against each other – or in fact find similar games in the first place. There is not a large variety of games which is a huge downfall in my opinion. Other sites can offer much better and bigger. There is also not a huge incentive to join the site due to the welcome bonus not being as impressive as others. If these areas were improved then the site would be much more user friendly and would attract more people.
Betfair is a good site, i wasn't 100% sure on it when i first started playing on the bet fair online casino, but now i have played it a few times, I'm happy with the design and the playability of the site. I play quite a few other online casinos too, but the bet fair online casino site is in my own opinion a good one.
BetFair is really good fun and really balances the quantity of games it has. You get some sites that try and have too much of everything which ends up giving a bit of an overkill, or the complete opposite and there's just not enough. But on BetFair, they balance table games, slots, video games, poker and bingo.
The welcome bonus is pretty mediocre which will probably put some people off, but if they are put off by that then they're missing out on some really good games. There's also the benefit of the zero lounge which is great for regular gamers as it offers 100% payouts. Good luck finding other sites that do that!
I know a lot of people had trouble back in 2010 with BetFair because of their unlimited bonus happy hour but I've personally never had a problem with the site. I think they offer a good amount of games, traditional versions and more modern multiplayer games. They use a lot of Playtech software throughout the site which is always a safe bet as they have a lot of really well known games. I like the bonuses that you can get throughout the different games and although they're not massively frequent, when they do appear they are pretty good.
Quite honestly, I've had a lot of problems when it comes to using online casino sites on my mobile which is quite a worry when you've got your hard earned money involved. Betfair always runs so smoothly and I always use it for that reason. The design is so simple and the exchange has a lot of activity – for when you're sports betting It's my go to site simply because I don't have to be paranoid because of the mobile site/app is running slowly.
There's a great range of slot machines, arcade and a casino for everyone to sink their teeth into, but I think because they focus on a lot of other things like sports betting there's not a huge variety that you'll find with other, bigger casinos. They look really sleek and there's a load of ways to contact them which is really helpful when your account goes down like mine did at one point.
Betfair casino has many different varieties of table games, I often like to play roulette games and I am glad they offer a good selection.
Betfair is a really great site and it comes as no surprise to me to learn that they are one of the oldest online casinos too. I think they could expand their deposit and withdrawal options a little more to suit more people but for me what they have available is perfect. I use Skrill so I know I can track my money, and I know that it is safe with Betfair. I really like the site and all of the bonuses are really good too.
I have been playing on Betfair casino for a good few years now, and I have never been disappointed with their services. I feel like they have a good range of games from live dealer games to plenty of slots with progressive jackpots. Their pay out rates is amazing and I have won so many times on their site.
Their marketing must be good because it attracted me when I've never played on one of these sites before. It's a really well known casino and one that keeps surprising when it comes to innovation and new features. The promotions are a bit more modest that a few years ago but they're still really great and my favourite withdrawal option is Skrill as the withdrawals are much faster.
The payout rate on this site is really good so you know that you definitely have a decent chance of winning. On top of this the games are really high quality and the site as a whole is very professional which is what you would expect from a site with such a big brand name.
This is the first online casino i joined up to a while ago, and now I am really glad that I did. Betfair casino are the best at everything ,would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking about it.
I am posting this review to thank the customer service team at Betfair. I had a problem with depositing my money and they were so professional and friendly when helping me that I will definitely stay a loyal customer! I was also impressed with how easy it was to receive help with the 24/7 customer service available through a range of platforms. I would definitely recommend Betfair to all types of gamers.
Thanks Fair. Betfair casino. Playing on this website I feel like I'm James Bond whenever I play online baccarat or poker. Shame I don't have the body or a martini to go with it. On top of that the customer service team are caring and prompt in their responses when I had a slight query. Highly recommend this website.
BetFair has a very low rate of losses which I really love about it. There is a huge selection of games on the site, and I love the fact that BetFair really has a focus on the high-rollers, as well as being totally accessible for newcomers too. Totally recommend this site for all looking to gamble in a safe, regulated environment.
BetFair Casino is a fantastic site that I absolutely adore. I has a huge selection of games, deposits and withdrawals are quite speedy, and the customer service is really helpful if you were to ever need it. What more could you want from an online casino?
I'm more of a mobile gamer than someone who likes to play on a browser on their desktop, so the simple fact that Betfair runs so smoothly on a mobile is a huge bonus for me and I had to share this in a review. It puts my mind at ease to know Betfair is the backing of an established, professional company. Withdrawals are quicker than most other casinos – all you want in a casino and more!
BetFair casino is really good fun and really balances the quantity of games it has. BetFair review offers a good amount of games, traditional versions and more modern multiplayer games. At BetFair casino review I like the bonuses that you can get throughout the different games and although they're not massively frequent, when they do appear they are pretty good.
Betfair Casino is my regular location for baccarat, roulette, craps, slots and scratch cards. A previous Betfair review encouraged me to sign up as they have a live casino, which I really like as it gives me the feel of a real life casino.
BetFair Casino- BetFair casino would not let you down! Very impressed with a high and professional standard of games, with live dealers on many table games, excellent exchange games they allowed me to bet on other players taking part in games.
I always stand by my thinking that it's better to be safe then sorry. I'm always cautious about deposits and withdrawals, but Betfair have never let me down. I got my cash in days and the promos aren't the type that make you pay more to get more back. I'm loving the zero lounge, too! If you care more about quality than quantity then you should stick with betfair.
I've played loads of games on BetFair and although there aren't as many on offer as on other sites, the quality of the games is much better on the whole. BetFair even has live dealers so the experience is more immersive. You can withdraw money quickly and easily too which is a bonus. I would recommend!
BetFair Casino is great for those who travel as they offer other countries a huge variety of systems so you get a global gaming experience- not a lot of other sites that I have experienced are doing this. I like to know that I can take my casinos with me when I travel and BetFairs always deliver.
I'm a big fan of BetFair because of the quality of the website and their fab range of games and slots. Slots are my latest obsession, so knowing that you are on a site that offers so many options is really great. I find it very easy to get through to someone if I ever have a question too, so you can be assured that they are reliable and trustworthy.
i always enjoy playing Betfair i love the fact that they have huge array of casino games to choose from. Also the site is always up yo date and appealing and the graphical option in each game allow user to configure the games to their particular device.
My review on Betfair great gaming experience for any casino game addict.
i really love Betfair casino, it has some live support and good games to choose from. Really fast payouts, free £10 bonus + 100% to £100 deposit bonus. Overall review shall give this five stars. Thumbs up!!!!!
My review for BetFair i must admit i was very impressed with its decent offer to boost your initial bankroll. The standard sign up bonus offers of 100% up to £100 is respectable, but an amazing £1,000 just for slots. You can also easily get a £5 no deposit bonus and get a simple £10 free for betting £10 in addition to the other bonuses. Overall review excellent online game site that allows you to bet on other players taking part in the same games.

Sagua La Grande, The Village Where A Glass Of Water Is A Miracle
Published April 1, 2017 | By Cuba
14ymedio, Luz Escobar, Havana, 30 March 2017 — Through the streets of
Sagua la Grande, in the province of Villa Clara, people walk around with
bottles, buckets and every kind of receptacle. This month's break in the
turbine that supplies the city's water has forced its inhabitants to
carry water from different towns.
"It's been more than a week without water," Jaime Guillermo Castillo, a
resident, told 14ymedio. "We fill the buckets at some public taps very
far from the center, everyone goes to the closest one however they can.
We go in horse-drawn carts, on bicycles, or whatever appears."
The municipality is supplied by a public aqueduct system that has three
basic sources: Caguaguas about 7 miles away, Chincilla about 6 miles,
and Viana, nearly 10 miles. But with the acute drought affecting the
whole country, the first of these sources has had to come up with most
of the supply.
The breaking of the Caguaguas turbine aggravated the situation. The
equipment was taken to Santa Clara for repairs but the
residents complain about the lack of information and the excessive
delay. The problem has reached the point that several residents have
called the local People's Power delegate to resolve the problem as soon
as possible or to make a public protest.
"First they said it was only for a couple of days, but we have been
dealing with this for more than a week and the situation is getting
worse," laments farmer Jorge Pablo, who fears "big crop losses" because
it's been at least eight days without being able to put "a single drop
of water in the furrows."
According to the Population and Housing Census of 2012, the municipality
Sagua la Grande has about 52,334 inhabitants, 90% in urban
areas. Problems with water supply have been frequent in recent years due
to poor infrastructure.
Several areas of the city have also had problems with water pressure for
decades, mainly in the San Juan neighborhood, the southern part of
Victoria Center and Loma Bonita. Water is almost entirely unavailable in
the latter. A situation that has forced many villagers to drill wells
for their homes, which has brought a deterioration of the water table.
A study a decade ago calculated that water losses in the city were
estimated at 30% and were mainly caused by leaks and uncontrolled
consumption. Of the total water that is pumped from the sources of
supply, about 410 liters per second, only about 290 reach the city.
Instead of improving, the situation has continued to worsen in the last
ten years and the people's council areas with the greatest difficulties
are Coco Solo and Centro Victoria.
The driver from Caguaguas has also suffered the problems of maintenance
and conservation, as well as the shortage of equipment and qualified
personnel to maintain a stable service, according to local press reports.
Authorities attribute part of these problems to "unscrupulous citizens"
who drill holes in the water distribution pipes to illicitly irrigate
small orchards. The presence in the area of ??numerous producers of meat
with clandestine farms has contributed to the increase of the phenomenon.
However, the residents point out that the promised investments have not
been made to avoid the continuous breaks. "Nobody cares about this
town," laments Herminia, was was born there and who is now trying to
sell her four-room property with an immense patio.
The Villaclareña puts her hopes on the sale of her house to leave what
she considers has become "a place with no future." She feels that Sagua
la Grande has undergone a process of deterioration and "the frequent
breakingof the turbine is another step in this fall." Not even the 2011
declaration making the historic city center as a National Monument
managed to stop the process.
"A town without water is a ghost town," says Herminia. "Parents do not
want to send children to school in dirty uniforms and older people are
the ones who are worse off because they cannot carry water from
afar." She paid a water-bearer about 50 Cuban pesos (about $2 US), a
quarter of her pension, to fill a tank that she only uses for cooking:
"A bath is a luxury that I can not give myself," she says resignedly.

The Most Complete and Affordable Multimedia Entertainment Solution for your lounge room is made by Microsoft, but it is not the product that you would expect. Although a PC equipped with Windows Media Center Edition has good features and will play most of the media you would like it to, it is quite expensive to purchase the hardware and the operating system. And the fact still remains that there is a much cheaper and superior alternative that Microsoft would never advertise.
For about the same price as a high quality DVD player you can get yourself the most complete multimedia entertainment solution. With the ease of use and speed of a DVD player, smaller than and with more features than a Windows Media Center PC, the original Microsoft Xbox, mated with a mod chip, is the complete solution. Not only this, but custom software can be employed; in particular, Xbox Media Center, or XBMC. XMBC is open source software that replaces the standard Microsoft launch menu, and is packed with features that you would pay triple the price for in other products.
An Xbox with Xbox Media Center installed will allow playback of basically any media format you can throw at it. With an adapter you have surround sound support, and HDTV support allowing resolutions up to 1080i.
The experience gets even better when you connect the Xbox to your LAN or to the internet. You may share your media files on your PC and watch them directly from the Xbox. XBMC supports the common streaming media formats from the internet, so you may listen to all of the Shoutcast or similar radio stations on the net. And of course there are also the obligatory visualisations available to make the music look as good as it sounds!
The great thing about this product is the continued development of the XBMC software. That is not to say it is not a complete package, because it is. But as we all know, technology is continually improving, and as such, support for new media technologies is always needed, and will long be provided by the XBMC project.
As I am sure you would agree, the huge amount of powerful features make this an extremely complete multimedia solution for any lounge room. If you also take into account the Xbox's original purpose of playing games and its affordability, the mod chipped Microsoft Xbox running XBMC is the most complete entertainment solution money can buy.

Home Astronomy NASA has discovered an exoplanet three times larger than Earth
NASA has discovered an exoplanet three times larger than Earth
Andrei SantovJanuary 9, 201900
In April last year, NASA officially launched the TESS telescope, which with its more advanced equipment has replaced Kepler as an extrasolar planet finder, better known as exoplanets. Tess has already begun to bear fruit.
Indeed, the new telescope has discovered an exoplanet known as HD 21749 b, located at a distance of 53 light years from Earth. This newly discovered planet revolves around a star of the same name located in the constellation of Reticulum.
This exoplanet is three times larger than Earth and most likely is a gaseous world, perhaps with a solid core, according to NASA in a statement. The finding was unveiled in Seattle during the meeting of the United States Astronomical Society.
Tess is a new space telescope designed to discover and image exoplanets located less than 300 light-years away from Earth. While it will not revolutionize the discipline per se, it will nonetheless detect a very wide variety of planets. it should namely discover dozens of planets the size of the Earth. Video Credit: NASA Goddard.
Diana Dragomir, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), explained that, according to the calculations, the temperature in the surface of the planet is of approximately 300 degrees Fahrenheit. The team of researchers behind the discovery also detected signals of what could be a second planet in that system with a much smaller orbit, and that it could be the first planet of a similar size to Earth discovered by TESS.
For now, TESS will continue to investigate stars less than 300 light-years from Earth to search for more planets based on data from Kepler, which has discovered nearly 3,000 planets in its nine years in orbit.

Tess has already located some 200 candidates, of which only three have been confirmed.
