The first Gathering I attended was the 2005 Gathering in Banner Elks NC. At the Gathering in Englishtown NS in 2006, I was elected Treasurer. I've attended all the Gatherings since. After inquiring lists from different sources, I finally got a master list of MacAskill/McCaskills who had an interest in the Sept Society and went from there. I've tried to maintain an active membership list and keep the dues coming. My grandparents, Angus and Lily MacMillan, left Englishtown and arrived in Massachusetts in the 1890's. They had 5 children, of course, one was my father. Angus was a nephew of "Big Angus", the Cape Breton Giant. Visited Englishtown many times in the 1950's and traveled there last summer and visited with 2nd cousins still living in the area. After a tour with the US Army in the late 60's, I went to work for Pitney Bowes and stayed for over 33 years. Married to Nancy in 1972 and have two daughters. Also have two grandsons and one granddaughter. I do some woodworking, reading, and gardening. Keeps me busy. Spend Februarys in Florida away from the cold winters in NH. I enjoy meeting all MacAskills and McCaskills at the Gatherings.

I am The Movie Mind.
What purpose do movie reviews serve?
They either give a lame representation of a film plot in the shortest space possible (i.e., a nomadic love story which features a coming of age protagonist caught in a rash of self-destructive behavior and fighting inner demons whilst not succumbing to his destiny and ill-fate), or provide a pulpit for some self-proclaimed intellect who couldn't cut it in film school to prove he or she is smarter then you and me.
Don't you just love when movie reviewers talk about imagery, and make these so-called "brilliant" references to some vague time in history or to a book you couldn't pay me to read? In their eyes, that's what makes a good movie.
The critics want you to go along and become part of their little nerd club. They want you to feel like if you didn't see what they saw, you are dumb. You are not worthy of watching that movie and you aren't smart enough to appreciate it if you thought it sucked.
How is The Movie Mind better than them?
Simple. He gives you REAL movie reviews from a REAL movie fan. He will not be afraid to give a warm review to those "guilty pleasure" movies no sane person would admit to watching (but can't turn off when it's on).
Plus, he knows a movie can get better or worse each time you watch it. Not only will The Movie Mind give upfront reviews on movies that he finds entertaining, but he'll update his reviews every time he watches the movie again. It's easy to blurt out an initial reaction to anything but—just like your mom's meatloaf—some things take time to grow on you.
Each review will include a section that recommends other movies to see if you enjoyed that particular film, memorable quotes from the movie, and where the film stacks up in The Movie Mind's All-Time lists.
What tastes does The Movie Mind have? How can I know to trust him?
Let me give you a hint: If you respond to the question "What types of movies do you like?" with "Mostly Indie films," leave this site right now. No, really. Leave now. Go sip your Starbucks Orange Mocha Frappaccino and read the Village Voice while petting your Paris Hilton-like rat-dog somewhere else. That nonsense will not be tolerated here.
The Movie Mind has a number of lesser known, and sometimes "Indie" films in his cache, but by no means does that give him a license to be a tool. There will be reviews of all kinds of films, from sophomoric comedies to chick flicks and, of course, sports films.
The Movie Mind has no desire to waste your time, or bore you to death to make himself feel smart. This doesn't mean that every piece of garbage thrown onto the screen will receive a favorable review. Too often with movie critics it's a popularity contest. They feel the need to bash movies everyone loves, and rave on about some 8th grade student film nobody has ever heard of to make themselves feel smart.
What else can you expect from TheMovieMind.com?
In addition to having an undying love to watch movies and make them a constant topic of conversation, I am also a jock. Or I should say, ex-jock. Just like most of you, I watch sports all the time. I listen to sports-talk radio. Some of my hardest decisions come on cold Sunday afternoons, when choosing whether to watch some disastrous football game (i.e., the Houston Texans vs. the Cleveland Browns) or jump into the middle of a Rocky marathon. These are tough decisions!
Have you ever had this argument in a bar: Who are the greatest movie baseball players of all time? Well I have. And I intend to settle it in "The Movie Mind All-Star Baseball Movie Team" List. This and much more are waiting. I have all this useless knowledge to share, and this is my forum to do it.
A while back, when thinking about what I really wanted to do with my life, approaching a virtual career crisis, I always thought … if only I could make use of all that useless knowledge about movies that occupies most of the rapid-access memory in my head. I mean, if there was only a way to put my ability to drop seamless references from The Cable Guy or Zoolander in mid-conversation to use, I would be set! Hence, The Movie Mind was born.
This is who I am. I am The Movie Mind.

Q: Geopandas: Converting single polygons to multipolygon, keeping individual polygonal topology? I assume this is possible. Example: I have polygons in a geodataframe, some polygons have the same attribute data, they are just separate individual polygons with the same data, each polygon has its own row in the gdf.
I would like to combine the polygons into a multipolygon so they take up only 1 row in the gdf.
The two polygons overlap, I do not want to dissolve them together, I want them to remain 2 separate entities.
There are single polygons, I assume they will also have to be converted to multipolygons even though they are in the singular as ultimately they will be exported for use in GIS software, one geom type per dataset.
I have achieved a .dissolve(by='ID') but as stated above, I do not want to change the polygons geometry.
Suggestions?

A: You can adapt geopandas' dissolve to generate MultiPolygon instead of unary union. The original code I adapted is here.
import geopandas as gpd
from shapely.geometry import Polygon, MultiPolygon

def groupby_multipoly(df, by, aggfunc="first"):
    data = df.drop(labels=df.geometry.name, axis=1)
    aggregated_data = data.groupby(by=by).agg(aggfunc)

    # Process spatial component
    def merge_geometries(block):
        return MultiPolygon(block.values)

    g = df.groupby(by=by, group_keys=False)[df.geometry.name].agg(
        merge_geometries
    )

    # Aggregate
    aggregated_geometry = gpd.GeoDataFrame(g, geometry=df.geometry.name, crs=df.crs)
    # Recombine
    aggregated = aggregated_geometry.join(aggregated_data)
    return aggregated

df = gpd.GeoDataFrame(
    {"a": [0, 0, 1], "b": [1, 2, 3]},
    geometry=[
        Polygon([(0, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1)]),
        Polygon([(1, 0), (1, 0), (1, 1)]),
        Polygon([(0, 2), (1, 0), (1, 1)]),
    ],
)

grouped = groupby_multipoly(df, by='a')
grouped

                                            geometry  b
a
0  MULTIPOLYGON (((0.00000 0.00000, 1.00000 0.000...  1
1  MULTIPOLYGON (((0.00000 2.00000, 1.00000 0.000...  3

If you change MultiPolygon within merge_geometries to GeometryCollection, you should be able to combine any type of geometry to a single row. But that might not be supported by certain file formats.

527 F. 2d 1021 - United States v. E Phillips
527 F2d 1021 United States v. E Phillips
Jimmie E. PHILLIPS, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 75--1423.
Seventh Circuit.
Argued Nov. 6, 1975.
Decided Dec. 30, 1975.
David T. Stutsman, Indianapolis, Ind., for defendant-appellant.
John E. Hirschman, U.S. Atty., Charles Goodloe, Jr., Asst. U.S. Atty., Indianapolis, Ind., for plaintiff-appellee.
Before CUMMINGS, ADAMS* and SPRECHER, Circuit Judges.
SPRECHER, Circuit Judge.
The primary issue presented by this appeal is whether statements made by the prosecuting attorney during closing argument to the jury were prejudicial. For the reasons set out below, we reverse the judgment of the district court and remand for a new trial.
* The defendant-appellant, Jimmie E. Phillips, after a trial by jury, was convicted of distribution and attempted distribution of certain controlled substances in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 846 and 18 U.S.C. § 2. He was sentenced pursuant to the Federal Youth Corrections Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 5005--5026, to the custody of the Attorney General until discharged by the Youth Corrections Division of the United States Parole Board.
The evidence adduced at trial sharply conflicted and the credibility of the witnesses became the most critical issue for the jury to resolve. Agent McGivney, the government's only witness to the transaction, testified that at approximately 9:00 p.m. on March 12, 1974, he and an informant, Ronnie Wheeler, were travelling to meet with other agents when they passed Phillips' pick-up truck parked at 247 Ball Street, Muncie, Indiana. They stopped at that address and were admitted to the residence by Phillips, who introduced them to Walter Ferguson. Phillips asked them if they wanted to purchase some marijuana. Wheeler and McGivney stated they did not want marijuana but were interested in purchasing phencyclidine. At Phillips' request, Ferguson produced a sample of phencyclidine which McGivney and Wheeler inspected. Phillips stated that an ounce of the drug would cost $1600. After McGivney indicated that the price was too high, Phillips took Wheeler to a corner of the room where he gave him a clear plastic bag containing the drug and told him the price would be $1300 per ounce. The following day, March 13, 1974, per their agreement, McGivney and Wheeler paid Phillips $1300 for the drug.
Defense witness Robin Lurson testified that she was present when McGivney and Wheeler visited the Ball Street residence on March 12, 1974, between approximately 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. They remained about 15 to 45 minutes, during which time she stated that there was not any conversation concerning transactions involving marijuana or phencyclidine. Lurson further testified that she was with Phillips on March 13, 1974 when he met McGivney and Wheeler, but that she did not see either of them hand anything to the defendant nor observe him with $1300 immediately after that meeting.
Two other defense witnesses testified that they visited Ferguson and Phillips at 247 Ball Street on March 12, 1974, from approximately 8:00 or 8:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and that neither McGivney nor Wheeler were present during that time period.
The defendant contends that the prosecutor's incorrect statement of law in his closing argument to the jury amounted to prejudicial error. In final argument, the prosecutor stated:
(PROSECUTING ATTORNEY): If you try to reason any other way, (that this case has not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt) it would seem to me that what you're going to have to find is that the Government somehow or another trumped up a charge. In other words, you are going to have to find, I guess, that we really didn't get this stuff from anybody; that they tried to make a case on these guys and just went there with this stuff and came back and said, 'Well, we got it from these people.'. If you make that kind of finding on the basis of the evidence you have before you, I can't help you, because in effect what you're saying is that . . . (the government agent) has violated the civil rights of those two people. In other words, he has committed a crime and that--
(DEFENSE COUNSEL): I will object to that argument, Your Honor. The jury is not being asked to find that the Government's witness has committed any crime.
THE COURT: Well, it is argument, and I think it's fair to let him go ahead.
(PROSECUTING ATTORNEY): And if you find that such a crime was committed, you're going to have to find, I suppose, that I conspired with the agent to commit this crime by bringing it to you. I suggest to you that there is absolutely no evidence to support that kind of a charge. (Tr. 282) (Emphasis added.)
During rebuttal, he continued:
I suggested to you at the outset that if you believe that (the agent is dishonest and the whole scheme is a plan to get the defendants), you have got to believe that (the government agent) is committing a crime, because in effect that would be a violation of the civil rights of these two people. And I would be in effect conspiring with him to commit the crime, because I would be standing here trying to convince you he didn't commit a crime. (Tr. 323) (Emphasis added.)
The prosecutor sought to justify his remarks by suggesting that he had made, not a statement of law, but rather 'a . . . simple logical argument based on the facts before the jury.' We cannot agree with the government's analysis. The question here is not whether the prosecutor intended to make a statement of law but rather what the jury probably thought. In our opinion, the statement of the prosecutor, left uncorrected by the court, could have led the jury to believe it had to find that the prosecutor and government witness violated the civil rights of the defendant in order to render a verdict of not guilty.
It is clear that the prosecutor misstated the law. When reaching a verdict in a criminal trial, the jury does not have to conclude that the government or its witnesses violated the civil rights of the accused or committed a crime against him to make a finding of not guilty. Our criminal justice system is founded upon the premise that a man is presumed innocent until proven guilty. After the close of the evidence in a criminal trial, the most important question to be decided by the jury is whether the government has proven the defendant's guilt of the crime as charged beyond a reasonable doubt. If the government has not met that burden of proof, then the presumption of innocence remains undisturbed and the jury must find the defendant not guilty. No additional findings are required of the jury to support that determination.
Having decided that the statement was erroneous, we now turn to the question of whether it was prejudicial to the defendant. 'In every case involving improper argument of counsel, we are confronted with relativity and the degree to which such conduct may have affected the substantial rights of the defendant.' Dunn v. United States, 307 F.2d 883, 886 (5th Cir. 1962). The impact of a prosecuting attorney's remarks must be particularly scrutinized, since, as Judge (Godbold points out in Hall v. United States,
. . . great potential for jury persuasion . . . arises because the prosecutor's personal status and his role as a spokesman for the government tend to give to what he says the ring of authenticity. The power and force of the government tend to impart an implicit stamp of believability to what the prosecutor says. 419 F.2d 582, 583--84 (5th Cir. 1969).
After reviewing the transcript and carefully considering the context of the closing argument and the credibility issues presented at trial, we find that the error was prejudicial. Hence, we are in agreement with this court's decision in United States v. Bohle, 445 F.2d 54, 71 (7th Cir. 1971), which held that a misstatement of law is:
'. . . prejudicially erroneous where the jury is misinformed concerning what it can consider on the critical issue of a case and that misinformation is reinforced by the court after the defendant challenges its accuracy.'
The defendant also challenges the prosecutor's closing argument on the grounds that the prosecutor personally vouched for the credibility of the witness, thereby placing his personal integrity behind the truthfulness of the witness. The government contends that the prosecutor properly commented on the credibility of the witness, particularly in view of the defendant's numerous attempts to discredit the witness' testimony. We do not agree. The remarks of the prosecutor amounted to vouching for the credibility of the witness.
Clearly, an attorney cannot express his personal opinion as to the credibility of a witness. Disciplinary Rule 7--106(c)(4) of the Code of Professional Responsibility, formerly Rule 15 of the Canons of Professional Ethics of the American Bar Association reads:
It is improper for a lawyer to assert in argument his personal belief in his client's innocence or in the justice of his cause.
Commenting on the reasoning behind Rule 15, the court in Greenberg, v. United States, said:
To permit counsel to express his personal belief in the testimony (even if not phrased so as to suggest knowledge of additional evidence not known to the jury), would afford him a privilege not even accorded to witnesses under oath and subject to cross-examination. Worse, it creates the false issue of the reliability and credibility of counsel. This is peculiarly unfortunate if one of them has the advantage of official backing. The resolution of questions (and) credibility of testimony is for impartial jurors and judges. The fact that government counsel is, as he says, an advocate is the very reason why he should not impinge upon this quasi-judicial function. We believe the canon to be elemental and fundamental.
280 F.2d 472, 475 (1st Cir. 1960), cited in Hall v. United States, supra at 586.
Judge Swygert further reiterated this position in United States v. Grooms, 454 F.2d 1308, 1312 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 409 U.S. 858, 93 S.Ct. 141, 34 L.Ed.2d 103 (1972):
It should be clear by now that statements by counsel as to their belief or lack of belief in the veracity of evidence and in the culpability of a party have no place in the trial of cases. Not only do such comments fail to add anything in any way probative of the real issues confronting the trier of fact, but they also possess the seeds of reversible error in that they tend to amplify the possibility that lay jurors may be misdirected from properly weighing the evidence by the implicit invitation to adopt the evidentiary assessment of the attorney. Such assertions of belief have been condemned as improper conduct which may justify disciplinary action against the attorney indulging in them by Canon 15 of the old Canons of Professional Ethics of the American Bar Association and by Disciplinary Rule 7--106(C)(4) of that organization's new Code of Professional Responsibility. . . . (W)e have recently restated the proposition, if ever it was doubted, that such personal opinions are not proper issues to present to a fact finder. United States v. Handman, 447 F.2d 853 (7th Cir. 1971).
Courts have carefully reviewed the prosecutor's role in criminal trials and '(i)t has long been the law in this and other circuits that it is error for a prosecutor to inject into the proceedings his personal opinion as to the credibility of witnesses.' United States v. Jackson, 485 F.2d 300, 303 (7th Cir. 1973) (citations omitted). The Supreme Court defined the duties of the United States Attorney in the leading case of Berger v. United States:
The United States Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor--indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, the is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just legitimate means to bring about a just one. jury, in a greater or less degree, has confidence that these obligations, which so plainly rest upon the prosecuting attorney, will be faithfully observed. Consequently, improper suggestions, insinuations, and, especially, assertions of personal knowledge are apt to carry much weight against the accused when they should properly carry none.
295 U.S. 78, 88, 55 S.Ct. 629, 633, 79 L.Ed. 1314 (1934). Accord, Wallace v. United States, 281 F.2d 656 (4th Cir. 1960); Hall v. United States, supra; Gaither v. United States, 134 U.S.App.D.C. 154, 413 F.2d 1061 (1969).
Here the prosecutor went beyond simple vouching. He said, and then repeated, that in order to find the defendant innocent, the jury must find that the prosecutor conspired with the government witness to commit a crime. This is vouching to the utmost degree. It amounts to placing the prosecutor in the same conspiratorial nest with the witness.
Furthermore, the prosecutor's misconduct constituted prejudicial error.
The applicable test for prejudice is whether we can say, 'with fair assurance, after pondering all that happened without stripping the erroneous action from the whole, that the judgment was not substantially swayed by the error.' The decisive factors are the closeness of the case, the centrality of the issue affected by the error, and the steps taken to mitigate the effects of the error. (Citations and footnotes omitted.) Gaither v. United States, supra at 1079.
In this case, the testimony of the witnesses sharply conflicted and the jury had to weigh the credibility of each witness to decide the case. There were no steps taken to mitigate the error. Indeed, the court may have reinforced it when defense counsel's objection was overruled. It is likely, then, that the jury was substantially swayed by the error.
For the reasons herein stated, we conclude that the statements of the prosecuting attorney were highly prejudicial and erroneous. It is most probable that the defendant did not receive the fair trial to which he was entitled.
The judgment of conviction is reversed and remanded to the district court for a new trial.
Circuit Judge Arlin M. Adams of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit is sitting by designation

Hockey set for UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena debut
Thomas Salinas, Wire Sports Reporter|October 25, 2016

The annual Marquette-UW-Milwaukee Halloween hockey game has become one of Marquette's largest athletic traditions. That custom will be taken to a whole new level Friday night. The Golden Eagles will play their first-ever game at UW-Milwaukee's Panther Arena Friday, the venue's first hockey game in nearly three decades.
The arena is now the full-time home of the Milwaukee Admirals, Milwaukee's American Hockey League team. The Admirals previously played their home games across the street at the Bradley Center, but plans for the new Milwaukee Bucks arena did not include a hockey team. The team also invested $6.3 million in arena upgrades, making the venue more hockey friendly.
Marquette's head coach Will Jurgensen saw an opportunity with this move and reached out to Admiral executives. Jurgensen and UWM club hockey coach Tom Roberston collaborated to work out a deal for the clubs to play a game Halloween weekend, one day before the Admirals' home opener. Marquette's Halloween game draws the biggest crowd every year.
"Everyone is just really excited for this game, it's such a great opportunity for our program," Jurgensen said. "I know I am excited to coach in an arena like that."
Panther Arena can hold about 8,500 fans, a major upgrade from the team's normal venue at The Ponds of Brookfield Ice Arena. Entry to the game will cost $20, but will also include entry to the Admirals' home opener Saturday night. Students can buy $10 tickets at the door and buses will be provided to and from Marquette's campus.
Jurgensen said one reason the club pushed for this game was for more exposure and support. He knows there are a lot of hockey fans in the area, but there isn't a lot of hockey.
"Our level of play is really good," he said. "A lot of people will be surprised of our talent level when they come out."
Senior forward Adam Benkovich hopes the game will draw an even bigger crowd than it usually does.
"It's a lot closer to campus so hopefully we get a lot more students," he said.
Playing a game of this magnitude, in front of a bigger crowd could generate extra pressure for the team to perform well. Jurgensen said the Golden Eagles must remain focused when preparing for the game.
"We aren't going to approach it differently, we are going to play our style of hockey," Jurgensen said. "We don't want to change anything, but I'm sure people are going to be nervous."
Newly named team captain Brian Kennedy admitted he will feel some pressure on Friday.
"When you get out on the ice you get butterflies in front of all those people," Kennedy said. "But I don't think it'll affect my game. I'm just going to try to do the same thing I always do."
The Golden Eagles swept Aurora University this past weekend. This year, Marquette is showcasing its depth with multiple players producing on the ice. Jurgensen said the team's early high level of play can be attributed to the players working hard in practice and games.
"If you look at our stats, we are playing very consistent all across the board," Jurgensen said. "There's not a single guy who hasn't gotten better. I think it shows a lot of character that our guys are doing that."
Jurgensen understands the intensity of Friday's game. He said if they play their game, everything will take care of itself.
"There is going to be a little bit of added pressure," he said. "I hope our guys enjoy it, take it in and enjoy the moment because it's a once in a lifetime opportunity."

People can be afraid of a lot of things, but one phobia in particular seems to stand out among those seeking treatment. We spoke with Dr. Dena Rabinowitz, founder of Cognitive Behavioral Psychology of NY, to find out one of the most common phobias she sees with her patients, and how someone might be able to overcome their fear. Following is a transcript of the video.
Dena Rabinowitz: The most common type of anxiety disorder for Americans are specific phobias. But many people don't get treatment for a specific phobia, because it's not always relevant.
I'm terrified of snakes, but I live in New York City, so it just doesn't come up that often. However, if you have social anxiety or social phobia, which is the fear of being around people, public speaking, initiating or continuing conversations. That's something that comes up every day. And so I see a lot of people with social anxiety in my practice.
Phobias tend to cluster around common themes, animals, storms, certain unnatural environments. But there are some unique phobias. So, for example, in New York City, we have a lot of pigeon phobias. Because pigeons are around. Where that might not occur in other places. You can't go in the subways in the summer, because they fly into the subways. You can't walk down the street, because they're in the street. And there's bizarrely a pigeon hospital block and a half away from my office. So that works out really well.
I think the most unique phobia I've ever seen was someone who was afraid of oak leaves. Because they felt like the oak leaves looked like a hand that was coming out to reach them. But that's pretty unique.
When you working with someone with social phobia, the model is pretty much the same. First of all, we wanna dispute some of the beliefs they have that people are always judging them, that people are thinking badly of them, and, frankly, that people are actually paying attention at all. Most people are thinking about themselves most of the time. And so they're not judging you.
But then we move on to exposure. And exposures can be a lot of fun in social phobia. Because not only do we do exposures to everyday regular things like going into a Starbucks and just asking somebody for coffee, and maybe initiating a conversation. But we also do some extreme exposures where people do things that are either out of the normal or silly. So that people get exposed to the fact that they can feel embarrassed and tolerate it.
For example, I've had a six-foot-two man go into Macy's and ask if they sell pink tutus in his size. Absolutely the sales girl thought he was a little bit silly, but he learned that he can cope with that negative judgment, and move on.
I think the most important thing that I would like people to take away about phobias is that many people have them. They're pretty normal. And there is help. It's pretty easy to get treatment for phobias. Most people can be cured from their phobia in a few sessions. And so if it's causing you interference or distress, find a CBT therapist, and you can work on getting over it.

Irrigating ornamental landscape with potable water is prohibited, except when a hand-held bucket or a similar container, or a continuously monitored hose which is fitted with an automatic shut-off nozzle or device attached to it that causes it to cease dispensing water immediately when not in use or monitored is used to maintain vegetation, including trees and shrubs.


The Cult of Saints in Late Antiquity project is mapping the cult of saints as a system of beliefs and practices in its earliest and most fluid form, from its origins until around AD 700. Central to the project is a searchable database, in which all the literary, epigraphic, papyrological and documentary evidence for the cult of saints is being collected, whether in Armenian, Coptic, Georgian, Greek, Latin or Syriac.
On 27-29 September 2018 we are organising a final conference in Warsaw, before the project closes at the end of the year. The topic of the conference is as broad as the project – the cult of saints in Late Antiquity. What we hope to achieve is a broad picture of this phenomenon, and so, although we will welcome papers studying the cult of a specific saint, cultic activity or region, we will give priority to those that set cults and cult practices against the wide background of cultic behaviour and belief, now readily accessible through our database (already operational and filling up fast).
Among the confirmed key-note speakers are Luigi Canetti, Vincent Déroche, Stephanos Efthymiadis, Cynthia Hahn, Anne-Marie Helvétius, Xavier Lequeux, Maria Lidova, Julia Smith, Raymond Van Dam, and Ian Wood.
Those interested in presenting papers are requested to send a title and short abstract (c. 100 words) to Robert Wiśniewski (r.wisniewski@uw.edu.pl) by 20 April 2018.
There is no registration fee, but please, note we won't be able to cover travel and accommodation expenses.

The Wildcats were down 2-0 until Ray knocked in two with a double to tie the game in the fourth.
KENNESAW, Ga. -- Kentucky sophomore outfielder Breanne Ray belted a two-run double in the fourth inning to tie the game before senior catcher Griffin Joiner added a two-run double in the fifth inning, lifting the No. 5 Wildcats to a 5-2 victory against Southern Illinois on Friday at Bailey Park in the 2015 Phyllis Rafter Memorial Invitational.
Kentucky (5-1) got a career day from Ray, who went 2-for-2 in the game with two doubles and two RBI, reaching base all three times she stepped to the plate. In her first at-bat in the second inning, she fouled off several pitches for a 10-pitch at-bat that ended with a double down the rightfield line.
Ray had similar success her next at bat in the fourth inning, seeing eight pitches before hitting a line drive to rightfield to score two runs and put Kentucky on the board. Ray walked in her final at bat.
Joiner, junior infielder Nikki Sagermann and junior outfielder Sylver Samuel were the other stars at the plate for Kentucky. Joiner went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI, while Sagermann drove in the game-winning run with an RBI single, finishing the game 1-for-4 with a run scored. Samuel went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, while juniors Christian Stokes and Maisie Steed each recorded singles.
Joiner and Sagermann did their damage offensively in Kentucky's key two-out rally in the fifth inning. After back-to-back groundouts to start the fifth inning, Stokes reached on an error, advancing to second when Samuel slapped a single to leftfield.
That set the scene for Sagermann, who blasted a single up the middle to score Stokes and give UK a 3-2 lead. Joiner followed a few pitches later with a double to rightfield to give the Wildcats some breathing room at 5-2.
The offensive production in the fourth and fifth innings helped sophomore pitcher Meagan Prince settling in as she retired nine of the next 10 batters she faced before allowing two runners to reach in the seventh inning.
Prince went the distance for Kentucky, allowing two runs -- one earned -- on three hits with four strikeouts and three walks allowed. The sophomore is now 3-1 on the season with a 1.22 ERA.
SIU (1-4) started senior Katie Bertelsen in the circle, who went seven innings, allowing five runs -- two earned -- on eight hits with two strikeouts. Bertelsen held the Wildcats scoreless the first three innings before UK posted two runs in the fourth, three in the fifth and had two runners on in the sixth and seventh innings.
Offensively, freshman Sydney Jones led SIU by going 1-for-2 with a triple, run scored and RBI, while freshman Savannah Fisher was 1-for-3 with a run scored and senior Meredith Wilson went 1-for-2.
SIU had several base runners the first three innings, but the Kentucky defense limited damage by turning three double plays, which tied the school record for most double plays turned in a game. UK has turned three double plays in a game eight different times with the last coming in April of 2007 against LSU.
The Salukis scored their only runs in the second inning after Wilson singled to get the rally started, but was erased on a 6-3 double play turned smoothly by Stokes. SIU followed with a single and a triple to score the game's first run, before an error by UK allowed another run to score and make it 2-0.

Remembering George Martin, 1926 -2016
George Martin who died yesterday, is one more in the sadly collapsing line of musicians who changed the culture in the nineteen-sixties—a change, for once, entirely for the better. As the discoverer and early producer of the Beatles, and the most important arranger for them, he played a role deeper than an average arranger, more essential than a normal producer ever could. By acting as the wise grownup, deep in musical roots, he showed, unconsciously but by example, that grownup musicians and old music could be as much part of that revolution in sensibility as the young musicians who made it. He was the genial overseeing adult of a beautiful children's crusade, who helped keep it from chaos.
Martin is famous first as the only producer in London who had time, in 1962, for a Liverpool group whom no one else wanted. That view of his prescience, or insight, was somewhat overturned last year by Mark Lewisohn's exhaustive history of the band's early years, " Tune In. " In truth, it seems, Martin was almost as indifferent to their sound as everyone else was, and the decision to sign them to his Parlophone label, a small subsidiary of giant EMI, involved in reality a far more complicated dance with a previously forgotten music publisher, who was about the only man in the music business in London who did want them signed, in order to get the rights to a (never recorded) Paul McCartney song called "Like Dreamers Do." It was only after they were already signed, over Martin's reluctance, Lewisohn tells us, that Martin began to think they had something.
In fairness, his late arrival to their genius was a sign of intelligence. The famous Decca audition tape, available on the "Anthology " project of the mid-nineties, really is terrible, or at least uninspired, full of kittenish covers and ragged sound. And Martin always readily admitted that it was the Beatles as people, not, at first, as musicians, much less composers of genius, that turned him on.
More important for the future greatness of the Beatles was the past work of Martin. He had been until then primarily a maker of comedy records—famously, the sounds of the fictive awaiting audience at the beginning of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" are the actual sounds of the audience at the early sixties "Beyond The Fringe" revue, whose four oddly mated satiric stars anticipated the chemistry of the still more famous musical four. It was his reputation as a comedy-record maker—for Peter Sellers, though not the Goons themselves—that is said to have most impressed the Beatles. For the Beatles always remained, in the first instance, a comedy team—their energies are satiric and expansive far more often than they are subversive or explosive. It was always bizarre that Paul said that his favorite Beatles recording was "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number!)," a strange exercise in pure Goonism. Bizarre, but meaningful—the Beatles are as much the bridge between "Beyond The Fringe" and Monty Python as they are between early rock and roll and what came after. George Martin's presence had much to do with that.
But Martin's real genius came to play only in the second half of the Beatles' absurdly brief career, when McCartney's growing gift for more expansive musical forms met Martin's expertise as a professional arranger and connoisseur of baroque sounds. That Martin was there to arrange the larger ensembles has always been noted—what is not noted frequently enough is how brilliant, austere, and original his arrangements were. Every Beatle fan knows the story of how Martin orchestrated a version of "Strawberry Fields Forever," only to have John Lennon want it joined, improbably, with an earlier electric version, with the two finally put together with a bit of studio magic. What is overlooked is how audacious that orchestral arrangement was on its own: a biting, dark cello and brass setting where almost any other arranger of the time would have done something more conventionally "psychedelic" or syrupy. Martin's famous string-quartet arrangement for "Yesterday," perhaps the most famous string arrangement of its period, is equally impeccable: a classical-minded music perfectly accenting a classical-minded song. (The only ones remotely as clean are Nelson Riddle's Hollywood String Quartet arrangements on Sinatra's "Close To You.")
Indeed, one need only hear what happened when anyone but Martin arranged a Beatles song to grasp how hard a task it was: Mike Leander's string arrangement of the otherwise beautiful "She's Leaving Home" does go a little over the top, while Phil Spector's notorious vandalizing of "The Long and Winding Road" is still the blackest moment in the Beatles discography. Fortunately, Martin later rearranged the beautiful song beautifully—though, unfortunately, it was on an album no one listens to, the soundtrack of McCartney's ill-fated "Give My Regards To Broad Street."
Like anyone lucky enough to have a brief high period bordered by longer fallow periods—in which, of course, real life still went on just as juicily—Martin could at times seem impatient for being known only for his seven-year service to one band. But by the end he seemed to have become as happily baffled by his fate as he was by the band of brothers who brought that fate to him. He arranged the energies of youth with the wisdom of the ages. It made a beautiful sound.

A Moscow apartment. 1 PM. Alexei is sitting in the kitchen, drinking coffee. Oxana comes out of the bedroom with her eyes half-shut.
Oxana: Hi, Alexey. Listen, I don't feel very well. And I also have a vague sense that something happened last night. Maybe it was a dream I can't remember? Or you know, there are moments of rest and leisure when nothing happens but it seems like something in the world has turned upside down?
Alexei: I know what you mean. But seriously, Oxana, you really don't remember anything?
Oxana: No, Alexei.
Alexei:You really don't remember how you threw a volume of Cicero at me last night? How you accused me of hating you, of suppressing your talents? You don't remember how you cried for an hour?
Oxana: Oh wow…
Alexei: You have to take a hold of yourself. What you need is a little self-control. So that's my friendly advice to you, if you want to feel in tune with yourself!
Oxana: But that's the problem. I can never quite understand what it means to control myself. I can control my spending, or I can grasp a book; I can even take a hold of you. But where is this self that I'm supposed to take a hold of? And does this self want anyone to take a hold of it at all?
Alexei: Well, I just mean that you have to answer for yourself to yourself. You have to be aware of what it is that you're doing.
Oxana: Yes, but who has to answer to whom?
Alexei: One half to another. The one that throws around books, to the one that is writing her dissertation.
Oxana: In this case, the writing Demioxana also needs to respond to the furious Demioxana. Why does the former write all of this bullshit, while both remain within the boring limits of being, under the burden of male rationality?
You know, I've tried to enter my own dreams, to present myself to the nightly Demioxana – the half-Oxana that I am when I'm dreaming!
Alexei: So you tyrannize your sleep! Maybe you would be able to take a hold of yourself, dear Oxana, if you keep yourself at a safer distance from all of this. My suggestion is that you keep from jumping into the darkness and folly with your consciousness. What you should really do is to hold back on all those self-willed flashes of excess, after which you leave a part of yourself in the dark!
Oxana: But isn't self-will actually a way of controlling yourself? Isn't self-forgetting the beginning of self-disposal, a way of throwing away everything superfluous, of starting from scratch to act on one's own? Because it's actually this self-abandonment that can provide me with those two parts that, as you say, have to present themselves to on other: – Oxana. – Demioxana.
After all, isn't self-disposal what democracy is all about? Like…the people rules itself. Or take all this talk about "autonomy." Same thing, right?
Alexei: Yes, Oxana, but there's no other way today. God is dead. Human beings are all on their own, left to themselves. Which is why they need to take a hold of themselves, to control themselves. It's the same with collectives or entire peoples. But since they aren't gods, they can't control themselves all the time, which is what leads to the kind of craziness like what you did last night.
Oxana: But like it says in my dissertation: democracy is the political expression of the subject, or subjectivity.
But, since the subject is not God, and the people is not God, self-rule is all about choosing members of parliament and presidents from a bunch of Teletubbies, only to find out about what they do on our behalf later on, on TV or over the Internet.
Alexei: But we can't all sit in the Kremlin, millions of us, discussing taxes, traffic rules and the criminal code. Which are necessary things.
Oxana: OK, but that means that people's "halves" aren't actually controlling one another, but that our "representatives" are the ones who are in control: TV personalities, deputies, presidents, and money, in the end.
Alexei: Maybe we can only talk about real self-rule in moments of crisis, in revolutionary moments when the people forgets itself, like you did last night, in order to present itself to itself, and to take control of itself.
Oxana: Yes, strangely, this morning I don't only feel shame, but also some sense of the sublime. I feel myself.
Then again, in cases like these, there is no such thing as divine, absolute self-rule either. Again, you need representatives to transmit the revolutionary impulse. There are representative organs that destroy the existing institutions, that cut history apart, but which also provide for the return of the ecstatic, avant-gardist impulse back into the masses. Such organs were, for instance, the revolutionary communes in revolutionary France of the 1790s and in 1871; in Russia, these were our Soviets, both in 1905 and 1917, there were also councils in Budapest in 1956, etc.
Alexei: Yes, you're absolutely right. Too bad we're living in such a reactionary age. The revolution and its organs have been discredited, subdued by the formal and hypocritical parliamentarism, where the subject-capital and the subject-state rule on behalf of the finite human subject.
Can we talk about democracy in today's Russia at all, for instance, if its revolutionary heritage has been betrayed? Even the "orange" revolution in Ukraine has not left any revolutionary representation after it was over.
Oxana: True. But on the other hand, we shouldn't just treat self-rule and democracy as nothing more than a utopia, or a lost heritage. In a sense, the abyss of revolution still supplies the horizon of our political life; it substitutes the ground beneath our feet, and defines…
Alexei (interrupting her): Exactly, exactly, we need prepare for the coming revolution! That's what I've always been saying…
Oxana: Wait, listen. I don't mean the future, I mean the past – the Perestroika, this counterrevolutionary revolution of ours. Because, you have to remember, when Gorbachev was destroying the Soviet regime, he was armed with the slogan "All power to soviets". You'll probably say that this is an imitation, little more than rich bureaucrats appealing to some stormy revolutionary past. But the fact is that the "soviet" – and not parliamentary – structure of the organs of power that were created by Gorbachev did actually play a serious role in the intensity of the processes that followed.
Because to mobilize and reenergize society and to use the people in his war with bureaucracy, Gorbachev tried to perfect to model of soviets, which was already part of the old Soviet constitution, and combining it with the Congress of People's Deputies, which had existed during the revolutionary epoch but had been annulled by Stalin. He also added competitive elections. And all of this to avoid creating a parliamentary system of the Western type. So what the reform of 1988 did was to introduce the institution of the Congress of People's Deputies, a huge, unprofessional organ, which was elected directly in part, and partially chosen by "social organization." The Congress convened irregularly, while the Supreme Soviet, a permanent institution elected by the Congress had all the power. The people had the right to "recall" deputies. (Note how the right of recall – the so-called "imperative mandate" – is absent from Western parliaments because it contradicts the principle of transparency.) Deputies of all levels had the right to combine their political activities with their main professions. But anyway, the most important thing is that the law confirmed the omnipotence of the soviets ("All Power to the Soviets!").
Alexei: So in standard political language, we're talking about the unlimited sovereignty of the Soviets!
Oxana: That right! The model of soviets excludes the liberal division of powers.
And obviously, you remember what happened next. Though the Congress remained loyal to Gorbachev, the broadcast of its sessions on TV involved all of society in political struggle. This demonstrated the mobilization and polarization of society. Soviets, multiplied by the electronic media, played a truly representative role – they presented the subject to itself, while tearing him apart into two antagonistic "halves".
Later, the new federal model was expanded into regional "republics". As a result, the new regional centers expropriated power from the federal and party organs. Yeltsin, the new President of Russia, entered into a struggle against the Congress and the Supreme Soviet, which defended their monopoly on power, in accordance with the rediscovered spirit of soviets. But then, yet another ideological rupture broke into their struggle: the Congress and the Supreme Soviet armed themselves with reactionary, nationalist rhetoric, while Yeltsin was talking about liberalism and reform. But many observers think that the main reason of the clash was institutional rivalry.
In 1993, Yeltsin entered an open fight with the Supreme Soviet, violently dissolved it, and successfully suggested a new constitution, which destroyed the soviet structure, and introduced a standard 2-chamber parliament. The liberal media spent most of these months criticizing the soviets as a rudiment of the past, and welcomed "desovietization" as a return to "normalcy", that is, to the parliamentary form dominant in the West. But after these events, Yeltsin's regime gradually began to lose its legitimacy and democratism.
Alexei: You're quite a smooth talker there, Oxana. But what your point?
Oxana: The point is the historical irony of it all, silly!
The soviets were once an organ of revolutionary democracy, even if they carried the traits of the old form of representation, based on estates. (Actually, they were still called the "soviets of the workers', soldiers', peasants', and cossacks' deputies" for a long time.) Then, they were deprived of their power by the party and then petrified as a purely decorative institution, much like the representation of estates they had originated in. But the attempt to take this institution seriously and use it again seventy years later led to the reactivation of its subversive potential, and then to the self-destruction, both of the state, and of soviets themselves. The soviets played a role of a virus of revolution that had "hibernated" in the organism of the state and had waited for its time to come. The history of the "Soviet" Union (deceptively but eloquently named after the powerless soviets) is squeezed between two periods in which it was actually ruled by soviets: 1917-1921 and 1989-1993.
In this sense, the soviets are like the mythological egg of Kashei the Immortal: they contain both the birth of the Soviet Union and its death. But they are also the most universal phenomenon of those associated with the Soviet Union, and the one with the most potential. They are our very own "unfinished project".
Alexei: Ok, now I see where you're heading. I can even add some scholarly knowledge of my own to the conclusion you're drawing.
Indeed, the role of councils in history was self-contradictory. "Representative democracy" – the regime we now see as dominant throughout the world – is an oxymoron. This regime, whose first theorist was Abbé Siéyes, fuses two political conceptions: the idea of the feudal-estate representation (which had never had anything to do with democracy) and the notion of popular sovereignty (which would exclude any representation), introduced by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In the first of these conceptions, the people is understood as a multitude of passive subjects, in the second – as a unitary absolute sovereign. The combination of these contradictory notions indicates that they are not self-sufficient, but that there is a force of historical event acting through them. It is the event of revolution, which is a point of fold between the passive and the active meaning of representation.
Oxana: So who was this Siéyes?
Alexei: He was one of the leading ideologists of the French revolution. Shortly before the gathering of General Estates in France, in 1789, he published a pamphlet called "What is the third estate?" where he formulated the main constitutional principles of the future revolutionary power.
In this pamphlet, Siéyes showed that in the moment of revolution, there appears an extraordinary "constituent" power, which does not have any procedure to follow. It only gives rise to new regular representative organs later. And when the revolution erupted, this constituent power did in fact appear – not just in the Constituent Assembly but most crucially in the Parisian Commune – in the new municipal organs of Paris.
Both of these powers appeared at the moment when the king decided to convoke the "General Estates", which was an old, feudal organ. The turn of the absolutist king back to the institution that had seemed obsolete to many led to the emergence of a new, revolutionary power.
Oxana: Thanks for your support, Alexei. So now you see that perestroika, which seems to be a restoration, does indeed fit into the contradictory history of revolutions.
Today, many in our intelligentsia are ready to discount the failure of the 1980s-1990s revolution, quoting the age-old paternalism of the Russian people. And these self-torments resonate precisely at a time in which the only real mass movements are motivated by this "paternalism": remember the demonstrations of pensioners against the annulment of benefits last year? Of course, we would like to see active, responsible liberal subjects around us, as we do in the West. But such subjects, in themselves, are not fit for revolutions; they can take a hold of themselves but they cannot found themselves. For revolutions, we need also reactive affects, not just "activity".
Alexei: So you are a good revolutionary after all, Oxana. Yesterday, you reminded of a reaction-propelled jet airplane.
Oxana: I meant reactivity in the Nietzschian sense, in the sense of reaction, not as spontaneous action.
Alexei: In general, I agree. One can learn just as much by observing you as by listening to your words of wisdom. Power born from helplessness, from complaint and revolt. But only on the condition that helplessness overfills you…
There is a difference between legal, performative power, which pretends that it is creating ex nihilo but in fact reproduces the status quo – and the power that acts hastily and blindly, for which force and forward motion are more important than its product, power that forgets itself. Such is the constituent power that transforms the existing institutions by pushing them to the limit and filling them over with itself.
Self-forgetting – such is the definition of constituent power, as opposed to the self-reporting of constituted power.
Oxana: Does the self-forgetting mean spontaneity – freedom, to put it simply? Can one just give oneself to revolution?
Alexei: You can, but only if you really want to. But you have to be careful here: we should not understand spontaneity as automatic self-generation, nor should we see revolution, in its gradual escalation, as an escalator that one can mount and ride.
By the way, there are two serious contemporary thinkers who wrote a lot about the soviets: Hannah Arendt (On Revolution) and Toni Negri (Potere Constituente). Both of them really love soviets. For Arendt, they are an alternative form of representation. Soviets, she says, represent people in their activity, not in their passivity, like parliaments do. Because of their diffuse, chain-like way of delegating power, bottom-up, soviets create the real unity of society instead of subordinating it to the unity of a symbol. But at the same time, Arendt believes that the soviets arise, in a revolutionary time, spontaneously, as though out of nothing – thus guaranteeing free activity in a polity. The failure of soviets is linked, in her view, to their incapacity to do everyday economic management.
Negri, on the contrary, thinks that soviets unite political activity with economic creativity, i.e., with production. The spontaneity of soviets parts from the spontaneity of productive labor, from the natural power (in the sense of Spinoza). And, from Negri's point of view, soviets and the organs analogous to them, are not just an extraordinary power, but they can, and should become a regular institution.
Though he notes that the constituent institutions are always born out of crisis and stoppage, Negri, like Arendt, insists on the spontaneity and activity of the constituent power that creates, as though, out of nothing. Generally, both he and Arendt make a mistake when they emphasize the "spontaneity" of constituent power. They don't pay attention to the fact that it grows out of estate-based forms. The paradox is, that the forms that have nicely maintained the passivity of citizens, turn into the weapon of their revolution. We are dealing less with creation ex nihilo, and more with a turn in consciousness and action, on the fait accompli, and not on the ideal norm. The passive, reactive negativity of a complaint turns into an irreconcilable, infinite negativity. Subjectivity is, in its origin, not a thing, nor an act, but an event, a turn, a rupture.
Oxana: So everything is upside down.
It turns out that representation ties us to the past with a knot, that it turns the past inside out. It is as if we were now living in a Soviet society turned inside out, so that time goes backwards for us. What, for Soviet official consciousness, was an incomplete project, a perspective, has become, for us, the past that is attractive because of it has already been accomplished.
Alexei: Yes, and a similar knot ties us with the West – we switched places with it, having built consumer capitalism and allowing the West to establish and expand its control over both our minds and social solidarity. Such is the ideological underside of our legitimacy and subjectivity. But the zigzags of our representations gradually freeze into a new constellation.
Oxana: And I thought that I am attached to myself by my reflection in you. And also by those strange countries, turned inside out, that open up to me in the void of dreaming.
Alexei: Your interior soviets…
Oxana: My Morphean universities…

Spielberg's most recent film depicts perhaps the greatest most celebrated figure in American history. Lincoln is a sweeping epic covering Honest Abe's internal conflict to end American slavery despite a divided House of Representatives debating freedom and equality. With Lincoln, Spielberg showed that he can take a great cast (Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, Tommy Lee Jones), a phenomenal script and another true story and tell it with the same respect and grace as he displayed in his World War II-set films.

As of July 2013 we are no longer allowed to promote Lots Of Bingo due to a change in strategy by Digital Pop (BBN Affiliates). The following details are now for information purposes only and will no longer be updated.
Lots of Bingo entered the world of online bingo in early 2010 as part of the Better Bingo Network. Powered by the Virtue Fusion software you can rest assured of the quality of everything they have to offer, but can they really back up their home page claims; 'Lots of Bingo is still reasonably new to the online bingo world but boasts all the features you would expect from a veteran UK bingo site'. Let's take a look and find out shall we?
The Lots of Bingo home pages uses an unusual pink, turquoise and white colour scheme, which combined with a basic layout, makes the place feel very dated. The page is however packed full of useful information such as latest promotions, top games, details of jackpots and a list of the latest winners. The rest of the site is easily accessible via the menu at the top of the page, but the use of very large and bulky buttons are certainly not doing them any favours in the style stakes.
When you sign up, you will be rewarded with a small amount of free money without you having to make a deposit, it's not a lot but it is enough for you to get a feel for the place without risking any of your own hard earned cash. If you then decide you want to play for real, you can enter your financial information and take advantage of a small first deposit bonus. Unfortunately this is where the freebies end as they do not offer any reload bonuses.
The Lots of Bingo lobby is a welcoming place where you will be greeted by a young lady sitting behind a desk. Situated below her desk you will find five tabs: 90 ball bingo, 80 ball bingo, 75 ball bingo, specials and all rooms. Because this is a networked site you will find plenty of rooms to choose from and a lot of players to compete against, but you can use all of the information provided in the lobby to help you decide where you would like to try your luck.
All of the bingo rooms are very well designed, and you can see that Virtue Fusion has honed them to perfection over their many years in industry. To the left of the screen there is a large chat room and a selection of mini games, and to the right is where all of your bingo cards are displayed. You will generally find that the chat is very fast paced due to the sheer number of players, and you must remember when speaking to the Chat hosts about any problems that they don't know which site you have logged in via.
Being part of a bingo network also allows Lots of Bingo to offer a large number of promotions. Regulars include free bingo, charity of the month, Bingo Studio Live, Winning Weekends and SuperBooks that allow you to upgrade your free tickets for a small charge and multiply your winnings up to ten times. In addition to this you will also find the chat hosts running chat games that not only help to pass the time but also give you the opportunity to win a bit of extra bonus money.
Lots of Bingo do live up to most of their claims, they have plenty of features, a large choice of games and a wide range of promotions. Unfortunately as with most networked sites, they fail by not having a unique selling feature to make them stand out from the crowd. A bit of a redesign and a more modern look would go a long way to encourage new players to click on that 'Join Now' button instead of moving on to one of the more well known brands.
Lots Of Bingo offers three different variants of the game at their site; there is 75 ball, 80 and 90 ball bingo to be found across a number of different rooms. In addition to bingo the site also offers a great selection of instant win games but not all are available in the same window as your bingo game.
The site is also home to themed bingo games like Deal or No Deal and Bingo Games as well as Lucky Numbers Bingo.
You are required to wager any bonus that you receive from Lots Of Bingo once but it is worth noting that if you can accumulate winnings of at least £50 with your £1 bonus, you can withdraw without making a deposit with the brand.

GoldenEye: Source is still around and it's about to be updated
2016-08-11 19:00:00by Jordan Devore
Prop up that player population
We're a day out from GoldenEye: Source 5.0 and, good lord, this project has been going on for more than a decade! Crazier yet: we even covered it back when it was new! That's baffling to think about.
This is a free Source Engine mod that recreates and expands upon the classic 007 multiplayer that dismantled so many friendships in the late '90s and early '00s. With version 5.0, GoldenEye: Source adapts the memorable Dam level for use in competitive play, though not without changes:
"The layout of the map had to be altered to allow for more interesting and engaging gameplay, while also staying true to the original," wrote its lead designer, who goes by Torn. "One example of how this was achieved was by creating an entirely new sewer system that creates a path between the front and back sides of the map. It was important to give people a choice on where to go, and not force them to go in any one specific direction."
Besides Dam and existing map overhauls, there are reimagined weapon designs, more achievements to work toward, and further-refined gameplay and visuals. You can read about all of the specific changes made for version 5.0 in this series of blog posts by the development team.
Launch is set for 1:00pm Pacific tomorrow, August 12, and you can download the files you'll need (again, this stuff is free!) from a few different places, which are linked here on the mod's website.
