Donations Through Facebook? I'd Think Twice About That
Big news yesterday: Facebook announced their new Donate feature. You know, because Facebook cares tons about nonprofits, right?
Historically, Facebook hasn't given a crap about nonprofits. I've been managing Facebook pages for associations and nonprofits for over five years now and I can tell you that Facebook could not care less about helping nonprofits. Are you a nonprofit who wants a custom name for your Facebook name that has fewer than five characters? Forget it, even though Facebook will work with big brands to grant them this exception, no such luck if you're a nonprofit–and I've tried, multiple times. Have questions about anything, from issues with your org's Facebook page to ads? Forget it, you won't be able to get a response unless you happen to get a hook-up from someone at an agency who has a dedicated rep…and even then, you won't be able to get a response 99% of the time. And remember Facebook's old mechanism for helping nonprofits solicit donations, Causes? What ever happened to that? All I know is I used to manage one for a foundation and it was so complicated and unusable and never raised one cent for that cause.
Facebook cares about one thing: their bottom line. I sincerely doubt they will be going out of their way to make life easier for small nonprofits who could really use the help. I also sincerely doubt that this isn't one of two things: either a PR stunt or a way of trying to mine more user data.
Facebook says 100% of donations made through Facebook will go to your nonprofit. That's great…but Facebook says a lot of things and I don't trust them futher than I can throw them. While Google gives nonprofits $10,000 a month in in-kind AdWords, Facebook has never even hinted at doing anything similar. Google also makes very clear the specifications of its Grants program, including who's eligible, what you need to do to stay eligible, and the details of the program. Facebook is like "we picked these huge nonprofits to partner with" and "fill out this form if your nonprofit would like to be able to accept donations through Facebook and we'll consider it. You probably won't hear back from us." Their actual wording from their interest form:
You understand and agree we are under no obligation to engage or otherwise contact you. Additionally, you agree that none of the information or materials you submit through this form shall be considered confidential or proprietary, and you hereby represent and warrant that any information or materials you provide through this form will not contain any confidential or proprietary information of yours or any third party. If you do not agree to the foregoing, please do not submit this form.
Here's the thing: nonprofits have to be accountable to the public and their donors. They can't afford to operate behind a curtain of secrecy and their donors and/or the public don't take kindly to being told "we are under no obligation to engage or otherwise contact you." So having Facebook be the middleman between donors and a nonprofit doesn't seem like a great idea to me if Facebook plans to just continue being it's mighty, mysterious, answer-to-nobody self…which it of course does. Then throw Facebook's privacy issues into the mix and I'm not sure I, a nonprofit staff person, would want to potenitally alienate donors if Facebook happens to do one of their notorious "oops" things with donor information or credit cards.
What do you think? Have you had a different experience managing a Facebook page and/or ads for a nonprofit?

Are there specific restrictions on foreign shareholdings in banks?
Banking & Finance (2nd edition)
There are no explicit restrictions under Israeli law on foreign shareholdings in banks. In the past, certain foreign shareholders (foreign banks and foreign individuals) received permits from the BoI to hold control in banks in Israel. The abovementioned policy, which was published by the BoI regarding the criteria for granting control permit in a bank, addresses the possibility of foreign shareholders to obtain a permit to control a bank.
The notification requirements apply to any investor in credit institutions licensed in Austria.
There are no specific restrictions on foreign shareholdings in banks.
No dissenting treatment is applied to foreign investments under Finnish law.
The control of foreign investment in regulated entities has been removed by the Decree of 2 August 2005 regulating financial relations with foreign countries.
There is no restriction under Turkish banking legislation on foreign shareholdings in Turkish banks.
Furthermore, the Permission Regulation sets forth further documentation for the applications made to the BRSB in case of a share transfer as per Article 18 of the Banking Law; if the acquirer of the respective bank's shares is a bank or financial institution incorporated outside Turkey.
A special additional licensing requirement exists if a bank is under a controlling foreign influence. In these cases, certain additional requirements have to be met. A controlling foreign influence is given whenever foreigners with a Qualified Participation (see Question 17.) directly or indirectly hold more than 50% of the voting rights in the bank or a significant influence on the bank is exercised in another manner. In addition, if the bank is part of a financial services group or a group being also engaged in the banking business, appropriate consolidated supervision by a recognised foreign supervisor must exist and be evidenced.
A subsequent additional license must be obtained from FINMA if a Swiss-controlled bank becomes for-eign-controlled after its establishment or if a foreign-controlled bank experiences a change of its foreign controlling person(s) at a later point in time.
No, there are no such restrictions. Additional requirements may apply though.
There is no general restriction on investments from countries outside the EU. However, the German Ministry of Economics can veto an investment of 10% or more in an undertaking of the financial sector, if it deems such investment to be a threat for the public order or security.
No. There are no restrictions in relation to shareholdings by foreigners.
There are no specific restrictions on foreign shareholdings in banks. Foreign shareholders are subject to the same requirements as those for domestic shareholders.
Foreign shareholding in banks is generally permitted up to 70 per cent. Up to 100 per cent. foreign own-ership may be permitted subject to the approval of the Council of Ministers of Oman. Please also note the restrictions set out in Questions 17 and 18 which will apply in any event.
See our answers 17 and 18. No additional specific restrictions apply.
There are no specific restrictions on foreign shareholdings in Portuguese institutions.
No, as long as the proposed acquirer meets the assessment criteria referred to in our reply to Q17.
Please refer to our answer under Question 18 above.
There is nothing preventing a foreign bank undertaking operations in the state of Qatar, branches of foreign banks can operate in the State of Qatar (currently in Doha, there are British, Iranian, Turkish and Chinese banks to name a few). A foreign bank who wishes to operate in Qatar has to submit greater paperwork compared to a local bank such as a list of names of members of board of directors and executive officers of the parent company, a list of names of the headquarter and branches in the home country and and international rating cetergory issued by the international rating agencies to name a few and therefore the process of recieving a license for a foreign bank may be slightly lengthier however foreign banks can operate in Qatar provided they have recieved a license from the Qatar Central Bank.
The foreign shareholdings are not subject to different requirements or treatment by the NBR or legal framework.
In principle, 100% of bank shares may be held by foreign entity or natural person. Specific limitations refer to the adequate system of control and monitoring in a foreign country. If the applicant for the consent for acquisition of shares in a domestic bank is a foreign bank or a foreign entity from the financial sector, the National Bank of Serbia shall provide such consent under the condition: 1) control, or supervision on the consolidated basis of this applicant is to be performed by the regulatory body of the state of origin in a manner satisfying the regulated conditions of the National Bank of Serbia, 2) there is appropriate coopera-tion between the National Bank of Serbia and the regulatory body of the state of origin of the applicant, 3) other conditions regulated by the National Bank of Serbia are met.
No, but other rules on protecting the national interest could apply to banks.
No; not at the Federal level. If a foreign (or any other) shareholder will obtain 'control' of a US bank, approval is required under the BHC Act or Change in Bank Control Act, as applicable. See our response to Question 17.
Not less than seventy-five per cent of the total number of issued voting shares of a financial institution must be held by persons of Thai nationality and the number of its directors who are persons of Thai nationality must not be less than three-fourths of the total number of directors.
Where the BoT deems appropriate, the BoT may permit persons of non-Thai nationality to hold shares up to forty-nine per cent of the total number of issued voting shares, and may permit the number of directors of non-Thai nationality to be more than one-fourth but less than one-half of the total number of directors.
Where it is necessary to rectify the operation's condition or to enhance the stability of any financial institution or for the stability of the financial institution system, the Minister may, with the advice of the BoT, grant relaxation for any financial institution to have the number of shares or directors other than that prescribed in the second paragraph. In this regard, rules or time clause on the relaxation may also be prescribed.

"In a situation like Syria, I have to ask: can we make a difference in that situation?" Obama said in an interview with The New Republic published on the magazine's website.
Obama said he has to weigh the benefit of a military intervention with the ability of the Pentagon to support troops still in Afghanistan, where the United States is withdrawing combat forces after a dozen years of war.

topic:"Mental Health Services - standards"
[About 21,000 people per day receive support from services for mentally retarded: treatment level and occupational activities of the weak is lacking].
Achieving full compliance with standards for assertive community treatment programs in Ontario: does sponsoring agency type matter?
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) programs provide community-based services for individuals with severe mental illness. In Ontario, these programs are funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and administered through sponsoring agencies (hospitals, mental health facilities, and "other" community-based organizations). This article reports on the results of a survey of ACT programs and investigates the relationship between sponsoring agency type and ACT program operations. Findings and implications for policy makers and administrators are discussed.
Addiction is a mental disorder, best managed in a (public) mental health setting--but our system is failing us.
Agreement between staff and service users concerning the clientele's mental health needs: a Quebec study.
This article examines the differences found between clientele with severe mental health problems and their key health workers in terms of assessing service users' needs in 6 Quebec service areas.
We questioned 165 pairs of users and staff, using the Camberwell Assessment of Needs questionnaire. The profile of serious and overall problems encountered by clientele from each of the sites was compared.
The sites with the greatest degree of user-staff agreement in identifying problems were also the ones where users considered that local services best met their needs.
The study demonstrated that, in needs assessment, major differences exist between the perceptions of users and their key workers in the various sites. These differences can be explained in part by users' individual characteristics, by types of needs, by local particularities, and by service use.
An evaluation of alcoholism treatment services for Alaskan natives.
Using chart-review procedures, the authors examined the management of patients with a recognized alcohol problem in 12 medical facilities and 20 alcoholism programs throughout Alaska. The evaluation, which covered a one-year period, focused on the service delivery system rather than on treatment outcome, and sought to determine if problems of alcohol abuse were being solved. The authors found that a treatment plan was developed, followed up, and evaluated for 8 per cent of the problem drinkers treated in medical facilities and for 16.7 per cent of those in alcohol programs.
[A new approach toward analysis of quality of inpatient psychiatric care].
A new approach to assessment of quality of psychiatric hospital care is proposed. It is based on comparison of goals of hospitalisation and results achieved. The necessary condition for such assessment is formulation of these goals for each patient. Three components should be considered: clinical which coincides with the prognosis; social which includes achievement of the patient adaptation and psychological which assesses patient's satisfaction with the treatment. The preliminary results of practical use of the proposed method are presented.

[Assessment of community mental health centres by general practitioners].
General practitioners' evaluation of Community Mental Health Centres (CMHC) has become a part of the Norwegian system of quality indicators. On the basis of a national survey, we present the way in which GPs have assessed the quality of 77 CMHCs.
A questionnaire was posted to every GP in Norway from November 2005 to March 2006. This was followed up with 2-3 reminders and telephone interviews. 2,415 out of 3,704 GPs (65%) responded.
GPs gave highest score for professional competence, the average being 55 on a scale of 0-100, where 100 is best. They gave lowest score for counselling (30) and staff situation (45). The average score given to the various CMHCs varied a lot for all dimensions, the largest difference being for counselling, with the highest average 58 and the lowest 8. There were many significant differences between various CMHCs' scores and the national average. When it came to counselling, the average score for 20 CMHCs was significantly different from that for the other CMHCs.
As GPs are important collaborators and users of the CMHCs, their views are valuable. The present findings need to be discussed. Many of the community mental health centres received all in all positive feedback from the GPs, suggesting that they may have useful experiences to share.
[Barriers to treatment access reported by people with anxiety disorders].
Our study examined the barriers to treatment experienced by people with anxiety disorders (ADs) who had not received services for their problems. Recommendations to improve treatment access made by participants are reported.
A web-based questionnaire on treatment accessibility for anxiety disorders was completed by 610 people living in Quebec reporting an anxiety problem. Chi-square tests were used to compare answers from people who received services (n = 151) with answers from people who had not (n = 434 ).


C'mon Home To Eat month in October is not just about the individual challenge of eating as locally as you can go, but about community. The October activity calendar sponsored by AV Foodshed offers a myriad of opportunities to join with other locals in conversations over a meal, a workshop, gathering local food, pressing cider, or meeting the farmers.
Last year included special dinner nights planned at Yorkville Market, Seebass, Lauren's, the Senior Center, the Boonville Hotel, Lizbby's, Bruxo Food Truck, The Bewildered Pig, Boont Berry, Stone & Embers, Boont Berry, Aquarelle, Pennyroyal, the Buckhorn, and the Boonville General Store. C'mon Home To Eat lunches were offered at the Boonville General Store, Boont Berry, Mosswood, Pennyroyal, Stone & Embers, and AVUSD for the students and teachers. The Grange Pancake Breakfast was the only community breakfast, but an excellent one. Paysanne offered local fruit popsicles all month.
The annual Shindig with dinner, music, and a pie auction happened on October 14th put on by AV Foodshed to benefit the Heathy Foods in the Schools project and a new printing of the Food Guide.
Also on the schedule was a free workshop on fermenting foods on October 22 with hands-on demonstrations on how to make yoghurt, pickles, kefir, sourdough bread, kombucha, and more. AV Farm Supply offered 20% off on all plants in October. KZYX's Farm and Garden Show hosts coordinated with local food topics, and just beyond October, the Chestnut Gathering at the Zeni Ranch was held November 4th.
Whether you choose produce from your own garden, your neighbors, the Farmers' Market, farm stands, markets, and/or come to the planned C'mon activities, this celebration encourages you to enjoy the bounty of the Anderson Valley harvest in October and beyond.


This gorgeous gown was bought for a photo shoot and has never been worn by a bride (model only). The gown has an open front skirt and is crafted of Chantilly style lace. It is inspired by elements of Kate Middleton's wedding gown and features an illusion V-neckline over an ultra feminine sweetheart bodice and long sleeves in lace. The illusion lace back bodice also features delicate pearl buttons. The measurements are: B34, W25/26, H36 (the lace in the sleeves is pretty tight so it would work best for size 2).

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — The Sacramento County Coroner's Office is sending a crew down to Southern California to assist in identifying victims of the deadly boat fire off the Ventura Coast.
As of 10 p.m. on Monday, 25 people are confirmed dead and nine are still missing after a fire broke out around 3:30 a.m. near Santa Cruz Island. The 74-foot vessel "Conception" was carrying its passengers on a scuba diving excursion to Channel Islands National Park.
Five of six crew members escaped by jumping into an inflatable dinghy and managed to reach a vessel anchored nearby.
Sacramento County Coroner Kimberly Gin told ABC10 their office has rapid DNA testing equipment that Santa Barbara doesn't have, which will help in identifying victims.

Spinning Lighter, More Sustainable Solid State Electrodes For Batteries & Supercapacitors
September 27th, 2017 by Steve Hanley
Lithium ion batteries and supercapacitors are both vital to the development of electric vehicles, but they often use liquid electrolytes that are flammable and can lead to explosions. Lithium ion battery and supercapacitor fires are not a daily occurrence, but they create a flood of news stories and spread concerns about the safety of electric cars when they do happen. In actuality, they are far less common than gasoline fires, which happen at the rate of 17 per hour in the United States according to Business Insider.
The potential for fire means they must have some sort of thermal management system, which adds weight and cost. Creating a solid-state battery or supercapacitor that eliminates the potential of fires and the need for cooling systems is the Holy Grail of battery researchers around the world.
Scientists at Drexel University in Philadelphia think they may have found a way to do precisely that, at least when it comes to supercapacitors. Their device looks something like a furry sponge infused with gelatin. A paper describing the breakthrough was recently published by professor Vibha Kalra, PhD and her team of researchers in the journal Applied Materials and Interfaces. It is entitled "Highly Durable, Self-Standing Solid-State Supercapacitor Based on an Ionic Liquid-Rich Ionogel and Porous Carbon Nanofiber Electrodes."
"To allow industrially relevant electrode thickness and loading, we have developed a cloth-like electrode composed of nanofibers that provides a well-defined three-dimensional open pore structure for easy infusion of the solid electrolyte precursor," Kalra says. "The open-pore electrode is also free of binding agents that act as insulators and diminish performance. We have completely eliminated the component that can catch fire in these devices and in doing so, we have also created an electrode that could enable energy storage devices to become lighter and better."
The key is a fiber-like electrode framework that the team created using a process called electrospinning. The process deposits a carbon precursor polymer solution in the form of a fibrous mat by extruding it through a rotating electric field — a process that, at the microscopic level, looks something like making cotton candy, according to Science Daily.
The ionogel is then absorbed in the carbon fiber mat to create a complete electrode-electrolyte network. Its excellent performance characteristics are also tied to this unique way of combining electrode and electrolyte solutions and allows them to make contact over a larger surface area. Science Daily makes the analogy to breakfast cereal. Corn flakes absorb milk more slowly than does shredded wheat because the latter has more surface area exposed to the milk.
Not only is the supercapacitor electrode free of flammable liquid, the compact design is also more durable, and its energy storage capacity and charge-discharge lifespan are better than similar devices in use today. It is also able to operate at temperatures as high as 300 degrees Celsius, which means it would make mobile devices much more durable and less likely to become a fire hazard due to abuse.
The new electrode material eliminates the need for most of the scaffolding materials needed for a conventional electrode. "State of the art electrodes are composed of fine powders that need to be blended with binding agents and made into a slurry, which is then applied into the device," says professor Kalra. "These binders add dead weight to the device, as they are not conductive materials, and they actually hinder its performance. Our electrodes are freestanding, thus eliminating the need for binders, whose processing can account for as much as 20% of the cost of manufacturing an electrode."
Moving forward, Kalra and her team will attempt to apply the lessons learned for improved supercapitor electrodes to battery technology. Then comes the hard work of transitioning the breakthrough out of the lab and into commercial applications. That process can take years and often fails. But the prospect of lighter, more powerful solid state batteries is exciting to think about.

Can you tell us a bit about the history of Noise Repellent?
Since I learned how to record music in a computer I've being always interested in how audio gets processed to sound a certain way and I quickly became a plugin geek. I was astonished when iZotope RX 3 was out. Particularly at their spectral denoise tool. I couldn't understand how they achieved such extreme processing with such little artifacts. It was certainly magic to me.
At the same time I remember reading a forum post in KVR site that this was something really needed in the community. Coincidentally I was being introduced to DSP processing at a university course and I was very interested with everything DSP related since then.
Fast forward a couple of years and I was at the point of deciding what was going to be my final course project, so I took the chance to develop an LV2 plugin to fill that gap. The project was well received by my professors by the premise that there was nothing realtime in Linux before for this kind of processing. Hence noise-repellent.
Software-wise not much else now. I would like in the future be involved in something bigger like Ardour or LMMS but that involves lots and lots of code reading. Right now I only have the time for noise-repellent and not much else.
Maybe improving Audacity's denoising tool could be another good future project. I can implement various methods that are not applicable in real time like 2D processing and improve much more what is already there.
I'm a drummer of two rock bands here in Santa Fe. One of them is more like progressive folk-rock and is called 'Infusion Kamachui' and the other is straight hard rock/stoner and is called 'Quemarrancho'.
I started playing drums at the age of 15 and at first was very influenced by American and British rock music. Bands like RHCP, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Nirvana, Stone temple Pilots, Pearl Jam were my cup of tea. Throw into that mix too most of "rock nacional" big acts like Soda Stereo, Los Pericos, any of Luis Alberto Spinetta bands and of course including local bands of my city like La Cruda, Butumbaba, Carne Viva and a big etc.
Growing up I stated to listen more to jazz, reggae, ska and more progressive kinds music. Lately I've been exploring much more my country's folk music and weirdly enough electronic music genres like drum and bass and (opposite extremes). It is clear that I love most music styles.
I have the pleasure of making music with other people. Everything I do these days is in the rehearsal room jamming with my pals.
When I do have to use the computer, that is pre-production/demoing kind of work, my workflow consists typically in firing up Ardour or Mixbus and write some drums using Drumgizmo, record other band members instruments and work up from there then. Of course that includes using a-plugins, Klangfalter and what it's included in Mixbus mixer.
I had mixed and mastered my bands songs in the past but today I'm more dedicated to drumming and not doing that kind of work seriously.
I have an old MSI laptop with a third generation i7 (still useful for audio production stuff) a Focusrite VRMbox soundcard and my trusty Sennheisers HD600 headphones.
I own a Focusrite Saffire Pro40 soundcard too but currently I have no PC to hook it up to. I use it mainly for monitoring purposes when playing live with any of my bands. Hardware processing related, I don't have anything. I'm more like an ITB guy.
Those Ubuntu "Linux for human beings" stickers did the trick for me. I said to myself "Hey I'm a human being. Why not use Linux?".
Joking aside being an engineer student I was exposed to it since the beginning of my career.
I believe the switch occur around the time that Ubuntu 9.04 was released. It was a no brainer for me. It was not so difficult to learn and no viruses plus I learned a lot about libre culture. Months later all my family was using Linux.
Since that time I wondered around various flavours of Debian and Arch. Today I am settled in Ubuntu again with KXstudio repos.
The fact that open source permits discussing concepts and improve software based on collaboration is pretty much its best strength.
I think the most important aspect of Linux audio is the fact that there's a great little community around it of very kind and knowledgeable people that are willing to help even angry Windows users that expect Linux to work the same.
Well, I ask this to myself all the time. I think that what Linux audio lacks is mainly up to date documentation. If there were up to date tutorials and documentation you wouldn't have users in forums complaining about PulseAudio breaking their JACK instance and giving up on Linux completely. No wonder that happens, often they are reading 2009 wikis.
This has improved over the years but is still a bit lacking. Digging a bit deeper I think we as users, and developers, should prioritize refinement of current tools (GUIs, DSP, workflow, etc). That is what most users would love to see.
I'm in between Drumgizmo (obviously) and Robin's (x42) meters. Guitarix is great too!
I'm interested in the outcome of JACK 1 and 2 now that falkTX is maintaining them both. Whatever falkTX touches it instantly improves.
Linux audio is full of developers and not so much musicians. It would be great to grow the musicians user base (especially spanish speaking ones).
More participation would be helpful too but that comes naturally with a bigger user base.
Learn how to use IRC. Go to freenode and enter #ardour #linuxmusicians and various other channels.
Go to linuxmusicians.com forum and sign up. Join Linux audio group on Facebook if you are there.
Be patient, ask, share and question everything! Linux audio is all about community and making it better together.


"It is like a chain… If cows are fed with poor feed and produce lower-protein milk, dairy plants will not accept the milk, so many add melamine," Sun told Reuters on the sidelines of a grains conference.
Sun said he was not surprised when his meal was found to contain melamine as it was so widely used in Hebei and neighboring Shandong province. He said he was the victim but was fined 30,000 yuan ($4,400) nevertheless.
"I have long wanted to test my products, but to test for melamine is expensive and it takes a long time," he said, adding that testing one sample would cost more than 1,000 yuan ($145) — and then the laboratory cannot pinpoint the contamination to one ingredient in the meal.
"Soymeal can be contaminated, so can corn gluten meal and cottonseed meal — suppliers add melamine into all these supplements," said Sun.
Adding melamine to lower-protein cottonseed meal could mean a profit of 1,000 yuan more per tonne as melamine can make the protein level look as high as that of rich soymeal, he said.
The cheating was done by milk dealers and milk-collecting stations, which add melamine to milk to increase protein level to the 3 percent requested by dairy plants, said Sun, who sells his feed to dairy cow farmers.
Still, many farmers, which have small numbers of dairy cows, were victims as they were unaware that melamine was added by dealers at collecting stations, he said.
What we'd like to know now is: Is eating beef still safe? How does the adding of melamine to feed that is given to cows affect the beef that ends up on our tables? Any experts out there among the enlightened readership of this blog?

Find Out Exactly How Slot Machines Function
The Concept of Random Outcomes with Slot Machines
Slot machines are among the most popular attractions at land-based casinos and online casinos alike. The appeal of slot machine games lies in the fact that anyone can win at any time. All it takes is a real money wager and a click, and a massive jackpot prize could be yours to enjoy. Behind the scenes, slot machines are anything but simple. In fact, these computerized technological innovations feature some of the most advanced technology in the gaming arena. The one aspect of slot machine games that the unassuming observer does not see from the outside is the concept of a random number generator. But what exactly is an RNG? Simply put, a random number generator is a highly complex software program that randomizes all outcomes to ensure that every spin generates a result that is independent of the previous spin in every way. Simulating randomness in a man-made creation may appear to be an insuperable challenge, but the world's leading software providers and gaming developers have perfected this.
There are several important points that players need to understand before embarking upon a slots session at a casino. The first of them is that your payout is always less than your odds of winning in a slot game, and the second point is that every time you spin the reels a random outcome will result. This is really no different to the outcome in a blackjack game, a roulette game, a video poker game, a craps shoot or a game of keno. The fact of the matter is that online slots games, like all other casino games are designed to give the casino an edge in the long-term, but in the short-term incredible things can happen for players. If you look at things like RTP (return to player), you will always notice that the percentage is less than 100% on the vast majority of casino games. Why is this the case? Because, any number greater than 100% would guarantee that casinos would lose money and would shutter operations and cease to exist. Therefore, your objective as a slot machine player is to seek games with RTP figures that are as close to 100% as possible.
Pattern and Trend Analysis
Fortunately, the leading online casinos offer slots games with payout percentages in the region of 92% – 96% on average. This is substantially higher than the RTP figures for land-based casinos which have to factor in many additional cost elements into the equation. Owing to high fixed costs of operations, high variable costs, and other costs associated with running a land-based facility, the RTP with land-based slot machine games is substantially less than it is at online casinos. Even so, the random number generators are always in effect regardless of where you play slot machine games. Many players tend to believe in all manner of myths, superstitions, old wives tales and the like. The fact of the matter is that there is no slot machine game that runs hot or cold – everything is randomly generated. Many folks believe that this if a slot machine game has not paid out recently, it is due to pay out ASAP. This is simply nonsensical: there is no logic behind the assertion that any machine is due for a payout since everything is randomly determined.
The concept of randomness is something that casino players find very difficult to understand, since the appeal of a casino is deeply rooted in a feeling of good fortune that players have while they are playing. In other words we believe that today is our lucky day, or that perhaps tomorrow will be our lucky day. There is nothing wrong with this thinking, except for the fact that slot machines are governed by algorithms that ensure fairness, credibility and randomness of all outcomes. If you believe that casinos are able to flout the RNG component of slot machine games, think again. Every online casino that operates within the strict regulatory code of gambling authorities has no option but to comply with independent testing standards (TST), random number generator fairness and the rules of authorities like the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), Gibraltar, the UK Gambling Commission, the New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement and other regulatory authorities around the world.
If we consider the Nevada Gaming Regulation as a case in point, it is clear that the random component of casino gaming is an intractable element of all operations. The randomness of a slot machine game ensures that the previous outcome has absolutely zero impact on the future outcome, and the amount of coins that you deposit has absolutely no correlation with the symbols that line up on the spinning reels. There is however a correlation between the number of coins that you play and the size of the jackpot that you receive – but as for the actual symbols that result from the random number generator, there is no connection. And just for the record, there is no rule or truth to the assertion that slot machines have to make up a certain payout quota within a certain period of time. In other words if the machine hasn't paid out X amount of dollars by the end of the month, it will not suddenly rush to make payouts just before the month is about to close out to meet that quota. This is all rooted in the concept of randomness of outcomes.
Understanding slot machine gaming
In order to understand how a slot machine would be beneficial for the purposes of profitability in a casino, let us consider a simple coin toss. With every flip of a coin, you have a 50% chance of being correct. In the long-term, over thousands upon thousands of coin tosses you will likely break even. This is why 50-50 games like that are not offered in casinos. The way casinos make money is by offering a lower payout percentage than the actual true odds of the outcome occurring. In other words if you bet on tails and you lost, you would lose your full wager, however if you bet on heads and you won, the casino would give you say 80% to 90% return on winning bets. The remaining percentage stays with the house, and this is how they make money in the long term. This is known as the casino edge, and it is often expressed as a percentage. In the above examples, it was mentioned that slot machine RTP figures range from 92% to 96%. This is the casino edge and this is how they ensure their profitability over the long-term. In other words, for every $1 that you wager, you will win back $0.92 or $0.96 in the long-term – the rest will be won by the casino. And so it is with slot machine games too. Before one dismisses casinos as moneymaking entities, one has to accept that they run a tremendous risk over the short-term and the RTP figure is simply a safeguard for the risks that online casinos and land-based casinos take on when offering high-paying slot machine jackpots to players.
You may be wondering how a random number generator actually functions in a practical way. Fortunately, it's a lot less complicated than the tech gurus would like us to believe. Each slot machine has a certain number of spinning reels and a certain number of symbols. There are also a certain number of paylines, sometimes they are fixed and sometimes they are not. For each reel, the random number generator will select a random number which is associated with the symbol. The number of symbols in each slot game is vast, and can be seen in things like the paytable of the game that you are playing. By the time you have deposited coins in the slot at a land-based casino, or virtually done so at an online casino, the random number generator has already determined the outcomes. What you see playing out in front of you is merely for entertainment purposes only. That's why many casinos offer quick-result functionality where you can simply click the spin button and the results are generated immediately. You don't need to go through the rigmarole of watching the reels spin and individual reels coming to a stop one after the other. It should be pointed out that standard non-progressive slot games will typically feature between 35 and 50 stopping points per spinning reel. If we move onto electromechanical slot machine games with invisible reels, you could have as many as 256 stops. The actual mathematics of slot machine games vis-a-vis random number generators gets highly complicated, so consider the following table as an indication of symbols, selected numbers and possible outcomes.

Note that there are often different versions of machines with the same name, so the numbers above might not apply to every flavor of the named machine. What you should take from this is that as the jackpot goes up, so does the difficulty in actually hitting it.
By the way, the odds of getting combinations of symbols on successive reels diminish with each additional reel that you're playing in a slot machine game. In other words if you're playing a 3 reel slot machine game, you are more likely to win by lining up the requisite number of symbols than you are if you're playing a 5 reel video slot machine game. Many players get overly excited when they hit the first Jackpot symbol on the first reel, hoping for another Jackpot symbol on the second, third, fourth or fifth reel. However the likelihood of doing so diminishes with each additional reel that is being played. In other words, spinning reels in slot machine games are weighted, and for the most part there is no logical assumption that all the reels in any game that you play have an equal weighting.
RNGs are highly complex mechanisms that work even when you're not at your computer or at the slot machine game in person. That's because they are continually selecting random combinations of numbers from thousands of possible combinations. So in between your spins, different combinations of outcomes are being calculated by the random number generator in the game that you're playing. The more you delay, the more the RNG will be calculating. Fortunately, every single outcome is random and it is not designed to favour any player over any other player. It's also one of the most reassuring aspects of slot machine gaming since you know for a fact that nobody is sitting there trying to manipulate the system against you. It is as random as random can be and that's why you always stand a chance of winning, even on your very first spin!

Once you have established the type, date and duration of your tour, one last item needs to be addressed: What type of vehicle do you require? The images on this page show you the classic choices.
A word about the cars: German law is very strict with reference to commercial transportation of passengers. It requires all commercial passenger transportation to be handled by licensed operators. Mandatory routine inspections for road worthiness and adherence to industry standards are set in tight intervals. In short, all vehicles are technically up to the highest standard.
We exclusively recommend operators known both for their reliability in providing the vehicles booked as well as for adding the little extra in terms of cleanliness and comfort.
As you effectively book your tour with the operating company, further information on the vehicle can be obtained prior to booking.


When he finally appears in the Windows 10 Mobile for older Lumia smartphones?
Users of older models under the sign of Lumia devices will need to arm yourself with really large dose of patience.
In early October, Microsoft issued a statement that spoke of the fact that upgrading to Windows 10 Mobile appears on Lumia smartphones before the end of this year. As you can see, by the end of the month it was just a few days, and updates nor seen nor heard. Until then, "ten" can boast of only devices like the Lumia 950, 950 and XL 500. Only these three smartphones account for almost 10% adoption of mobile devices without system. A few days ago, Damian wrote to you about the new data, according to which Microsoft deliberately delayed the launch of the latest windows on older devices. Today, the network brought about more leaks showing the approximate date on which the Windows 10 Mobile will go to the users. According to the data presented by the Australian branch of Vodafone that the operator will get a final compilation of the system in mid-January. Everything, of course, for a few selected Lumia smartphones. Classically as is the case for large operators, the new software will have to be thoroughly tested and modified. Based on these data can therefore be expected that Windows 10 Mobile hits the device around the end of January or mid-February next year.
At the moment, we know that the updates are to receive all the devices that currently run under Windows in Version 8.1. At the beginning of the upgrade has hit models such as the Lumia 630, Lumia 640, Lumia 640 XL, Lumia 730 or even the Lumia 930. It should be borne in mind that the same tests are related to the preparation of the operator for mass updates – unlocked niebrandowane Models can get Windows 10 Mobile much earlier than others. Further delay in updating acknowledges, however, that Microsoft wants to refine the "window" to the maximum. The American giant is aware of the requirements of users and does not want to let them down. But for those of you who use smart phones I mentioned they will have to be patient and wait patiently for notification of updates.
