Dr Paola Ceccarelli
AS Fellow, Durham University (January – March 2010)
Paola Ceccarelli, is currently Leverhulme Reader in Greek Cultural History in the Department of Classics & Ancient History at Durham. She received her BA from the University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore (1985). She was then 'Perfezionanda' at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa (1985-1989). After three years as assistant in Ancient History at the University of Lausanne (CH), she moved to L'Aquila University (Ricercatrice, 1994; Professore Associato, 2002), and then to Durham in 2006. She has been a Fellow of the Centre of Hellenic Studies (Washington, DC, 1998-99) and a visiting Fellow at Clare Hall, Cambridge (2006). At Durham she has been involved in founding, and is now co-directing, the Centre for the Study of the Ancient Mediterranean and the Near East.
Concepts of space and identity in the ancient world, and their application to situations of insularity, are one of her main areas of interest. Other areas of expertise include ancient dance and theatre (she has published numerous articles on the subject, as well as a monograph: La danza pirrica nell'antichità, Rome 1998), Greek historiography, and the history of classical scholarship. Her second book consisted of the edition, with introduction and notes, of the correspondence between the German classicist Friedrich Gottlieb Welcker (1784-1868) and the two Neapolitan scholars Agostino Gervasio and Giulio Minervini. She is currently putting the finishing touches on a monograph on the ideology of Greek epistolary writing for which she received AHRC funding. A further, related project is a new edition, including translation and commentary, of the Seleukid Royal Correspondence.
During her time at the Institute of Advanced Study, Dr Ceccarelli will advance work on a monograph on the opposition between Europe and Asia that tries to reconstitute the Eastern Mediterranean as a space with fluid boundaries, shifting borders, and myriad groupings, which overlap with, bridge, and challenge simple ideological demarcations. The work endeavours to regain the complexities of the Aegean Sea as an ancient 'contact zone' by interrelating various perspectives: the local views of islanders; the views of travellers, merchants, and explorers, which offer hodological conceptions of this space; and the geopolitical realities, shaped, above all, by military confrontations: between Greeks and Persians, Athens and Sparta, Macedonia and later Rome, which operate with much more clear-cut, though themselves shifting, ideological oppositions. By tracing the mappings and conceptualizations of the Aegean in-between Europe and Asia from the classical to the Hellenistic age (c. 500 – 31 BCE) she hopes to offer a fresh look at one of the most fascinating, hotly contested and ideologically charged expanses of water in the world.
She is further involved in the 'Water' theme as the organizer of an international workshop on 'Water and Identity', in association with the Centre for the Study of the Ancient Mediterranean and the Near East and the Centre for Roman Cultural Studies.

Once you have narrowed your web host choices to several firms, you'll need to take a more in-depth look at them before choosing which one you should go with. Click on the name of each host you consider to get a quick summary of their offerings. For example, check which hosts have bigger plans available so you don't have to change hosts if your site grows to require more space or more transfer, and you can simply upgrade your plan with your current host. If there are any reviews of the hosts, read them.
Next, you should visit hosts' web sites. Larger firms will usually have more elaborate sites with fancier features, like Flash intros. This doesn't necessarily mean that such hosts are better but you should avoid hosts with pages that look like they were put together in 30 minutes with errors on them. You don't want to deal with any host that doesn't treat web hosting as a serious business that deserves time and effort.
Look at hosts' plans pages to see if all the data you have checks out. See if there are any promotions or discounts available. If you have any questions regarding features offered by your potential hosts, you shouldn't hesitate to email them with your pre-sales questions. This is a good strategy to check hosts' support quality. For example, if a host doesn't honestly admit that it doesn't offer some feature, and instead tries to talk you into some other feature, you should cross it off your list. However, you should note that some hosts have different priorities regarding answering pre-sales and technical support questions, so the quality of answers you receive may not necessarily correspond to your later support experiences.
Some plans will list additional features, not covered in our directory. Some of them may be offered very rarely and they don't have their own category on this site, but you may be interested in them (for example support for cron jobs). Other plans may list specific versions of server programs that you'd like to see installed (for example you may want PHP version 4, not 3, or a specific shopping cart software installed). And some features listed may be obvious things that don't really deserve to be listed (for example support for client-side Java or Flash).
Browse host's site to see if there is a phone number (not necessarily toll-free) or a real mailing address (not a P.O. Box) listed. In rare cases when you have a major problem with the hosting company that can't be resolved by email or online chat, you'll need this info to contact the company.
If a host has any FAQ (frequently asked questions) posted, look through it. Often, a FAQ can help you gather additional info, for example the specific version of host's server software. One very helpful feature that only few hosts offer is an online forum for discussing this host's service. Read a sample of messages posted to gauge what problems other clients had and to see how responsive the host was. Any such message board should be a plus in your evaluation of that host.
Use a search engine on an independent message boards, like WebHosting Talk to see what people are saying about your potential host. After that, use a search engine, such as Google, to look for any other info on that host that might be available somewhere on the Web.


Pots of Luck Casino is a Nektan-powered gaming site launched in April 2016. Thanks to its Irish charms, it didn't take long to recruit a following of a respectable size, consisting mainly of online slots enthusiasts. Will you be joining them any time soon? This Pots of Luck casino review aims to provide all the information necessary for making a decision one way or another. Read about the casino's software, games, payout rates, mobile play, customer service and other elements to see if this may be the place to go searching for your own pot of gold.
Welcome Bonus£200 + Spins*Play now!
If what you read motivates you to give Pots of Luck a try, use the above Play Now button to collect the welcome freebie and head straight to the casino to meet Seamus, who welcomes all new players to this exciting gaming venue.
Pots of Luck Casino's library consists of about 300 slots and table games supplied by the biggest and best software developers in the industry, including those that specialise in live gaming. The choice of slots includes universally popular titles, recently launched games and generous progressive jackpots with the power to create millionaires.
Pots of Luck is a multi-provider site and the team has chosen to source their games from the best software suppliers. That's really the easiest way to ensure top quality products and at the same time allow players to choose among different themes and game mechanisms. Most of the featured slots are 5-reelers with elaborate graphics and multiple special features though you will find a few popular classics such as Bar Bar Black Sheep and Jackpot Jester 50,000.
If you care to listen to Seamus' suggestions, you'll be playing Rainbow Riches, Jack And The Beanstalk, Extra Chilli, Da Vinci Diamonds or Wish Upon A Jackpot. The list of player favourites includes Starburst, Cleopatra, Bonanza, Jumanji and several other titles known to fans around the world. There is no jackpots section but Pots of Luck does offer tempting progressives like Mega Moolah with top prize worth millions, as well as 6 Mega Jackpot titles – Wolf Run, Cleopatra, Golden Goddess, Siberian Storm, Star Lanterns and Isle O' Plenty, each offering to pay more than £1 million.
Those looking to play cards against a computer dealer will likely be disappointed. Pots of Luck Casino offers a single European Roulette title and no more than 3 blackjack variants, one of which is Hi-Lo Blackjack. I was surprised by the lack of options for poker fans, be it table or video poker variants. There are no scratch cards and no arcade games either, so if that's what you're here for, I'm afraid this site won't be able to deliver.
While completely focused on slots when it comes to RNG games, the Pots of Luck Live Casino presents a surprisingly large offering of tables hosted by live dealers. The operator has partnered up with two top-notch live gaming developers to please all of you yearning to enjoy a land-based casino experience without having to leave your homes. Evolution Gaming's range includes, among others, Standard European and French Roulette, Auto, Immersive and Lightning Roulette. Extreme Live Gaming supplies its own assortment of roulette, blackjack and baccarat tables, including classic roulette games broadcasted out of brick-and-mortar casino and available during limited hours, and interesting variants from the Reel Roulette series, such as Da Vinci's Treasure, Great Rhino and Wolf Gold Roulette.
Nektan designs its websites primarily for mobile play so one needn't question the availability or the quality of Pots of Luck mobile site. Instead of downloading a dedicated app (which so far doesn't exist), player can simply access the casino via browsers of iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Layout is more or less the same as on desktop, with a few necessary changes to facilitate navigating on smaller screens and in portrait mode. Gaming choice is identical as when playing on a computer and all functionalities remain available when on the move.
Did you know operators normally have the freedom to set bet range for games they decide to include into their offering? That means that you might play a specific slot at one online casino and bet as much as £500 per spin and then move to another to find you're only allowed to go as high £50. That's exactly what Pots of Luck Casino has done with some of the titles featuring high max limits at other gaming venues. Overall, minimum and maximum bets attached to various casino games indicate the operator has chosen to cater primarily to financially conservative players but added a few options for those looking to risk bigger amounts.
You'll be able to spin the reels for only 9p when playing Break Da Bank Again and invest as little as 10p with Starburst, Rainbow Riches, Deco Diamonds, Cash Stax, Jumanji and many other slots. Those looking to play roulette can bet between 50p and 100 per round in a single RNG game and as much as £100,000 in Live Da Vinci's Treasure Roulette. RNG blackjack comes with limits of 50p to £2,500 and you won't get to invest much more even when playing against a live dealer. Players wishing to bet hundreds of pounds per spin of the reels or place larger wagers on roulette or card games may want to check an alternative gaming site such as Grand Ivy or Betway.
Slots fans may be familiar with terms variance or volatility which indicate the frequency and size of wins they can look forward to when playing a particular title, but there's one piece of information which is applicable to all casino games and could impact your decision when choosing the variant to bet on. RTP or theoretical return to player is a ratio of amount won to the value of wagers, calculated based on thousands of spins or hands dealt. To arrive to 96.1% RTP for Starburst (meaning this popular title should pay £96.1 for £100 wagered), an independent company has spun its reels more times than you'll do in a single gaming session. That's why your result may be a bit lower or higher than the official RTP but the casino will long-term record profits of £0.4 per £100 invested by players.
NetEnt and most of the other developers include this information within their games, so make sure to check before betting a single penny. Pots of Luck Casino publishes quarterly payout reports and offers players to access them any time they wish. The one for July-September 2018 offers the following information: slots RTP 95.53%, table games 97.46%, instant games 90.82% and live games 96.72%. It doesn't list payouts for individual titles but that's where I can help. In my Pots of Luck Casino review, I've included this handy chart so you can see some of the RTP ranges of the operator's games.
* No table games, video poker, scratch cards and arcade games available.
When it comes to slots, industry average is between 95% and 96%, and at Pots of Luck you won't find many titles out of this range. Notable exceptions include progressive jackpots like Mega Moolah (88.12%) and slots which are part of Mega Jackpots group, all with below average returns. Balthazar's Wild Emporium can deliver between 88.19% and 94.02% depending on the player's strategy, which is kind of tricky.
The highest RTPs come with Jackpot Jester 50,000 (99.9% when wagering 100 credits per spin) , Barcrest's Cash Staxx (98.14%), Rainbow Riches Reels Of Gold (98% when playing Big Bet game) and White Rabbit (97.72% with feature drop purchased at full price). Extremely modest selection of RNG table games means you won't see much variation in terms of returns; European Roulette offers the standard 97.30% and blackjack variants close to the average 99.5%.
This is an instant-play site so no downloads are required. Just make sure to have the latest version of Flash installed and enabled. To find games to their liking, players can either search by name or click on tabs titled Players' Favourites, New, Seamus' Picks, Casino or Irish Games, or later on access the list of favourites they have created themselves. Bundling together RNG and live dealer card tables is not the best approach but there are so few that in this case it's not a huge issue.
Loading time is average and even with less than ideal internet speed I haven't experienced any glitches. That may also have something to do with the production quality of software supplied by companies such as NetEnt, Microgaming and Scientific Games. These people make sure their slots and table games perform seamlessly no matter which device the player uses while providing an offering diverse enough to appeal to everyone and their brother. Even if Pots of Luck Casino doesn't feature the biggest choice of slots out there, you're bound to find themes and special features to your taste.
As far as software goes, who could complain seeing the portfolio stocked by three industry giants? The Pots of Luck team has made its games available in a user-friendly way, though they could improve categorisation of the games and make the whole package a tad more visually appealing.
Pots of Luck Casino is operated by Nektan, an international gaming provider founded in 2011 to "take advantage of the explosion in mobile gaming opportunities". The company is headquartered in Gibraltar, has offices in London, Reno and Hyderabad, and is regulated in the UK, Gibraltar and Ireland. In November 2014, Nektan was admitted to the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.
Nektan's end-to-end white label solution includes design of the website and integration of over 500 games supplied by Microgaming, NetEnt, Scientific Games, Lightning Box, Blueprint Gaming, Evolution Gaming and Extreme Live Gaming. It also facilitates payments via popular international and local methods as well as 365/7 customer service. In addition to its white label offering, Nektan distributes exclusive Konami and PG Soft titles as well as those produced by independent studios in Europe. The company's first white label went live mid-2014 and in February 2018 Nektan has launched 100th casino site (Play Royal Savoy) operating on its Evolve platform. The list of Nektan's partners includes reputable, award-winning brands such as LeoVegas, Videoslots and BetVictor.
Players can obtain relevant information via the content provided on the website or by contacting the casino directly. To do the latter, they can send an email and count on receiving a reply within 24 hours, or use live chat or telephone operated between 8am and midnight GMT. Yes, this is unfortunately yet another operator refusing to make its support agents available round the clock. Providing one needs assistance during the working hours, the chat icon permanently positioned in the bottom right corner will allow them to quickly establish contact with a friendly employee trained to answer all kinds of gaming-related questions. Some of those have been included in the FAQ list so you may want to check there first.
The FAQ list informs players about the registration process and security measures, tells them how to make deposits and withdrawals using various payment options, and explains bonuses and related wagering terms. In addition, Pots of Luck Casino has a frequently updated Facebook page and actively invites players to reach out using Messenger.
Pots of Luck Casino is licensed in two jurisdictions, operating with the UK Gambling Commission licence to serve UK customers and one issued by the Gibraltar Government for the benefit of all other players. Brits can play with a complete peace of mind knowing that the casino must adhere to the high standards and rigid procedures to maintain the UKGC approval. If, unlikely as it is, they encounter an issue and fail to resolve it with the customer service department, the matter can be escalated externally by contacting IBAS or using the Online Dispute Resolution platform. Reputable third-party organisations ensure that RNG used consistently produces random outcomes and the respective test certificates are accessible via Pots of Luck website.
The operator supports responsible gambling and offers to help players who feel they might be developing a problem. At the website they'll find a list of questions to answer and evaluate if gambling has indeed started to take over their lives. If so, they can contact customer service department, use provided links (GamCare) , enable the Reality Check feature, set deposit limits, take time out lasting between 24 hours and 6 weeks, or self-exclude for a period of 6 months to 5 years. Parents are informed about solutions such as Net Nanny and CYBERsitter, which allow them to restrict their kids' internet access.
This is the section where bonus points are awarded for elements of the casino's offering that stand out, acknowledging industry awards, quality of the promotional portfolio, exclusive content in terms of games one can't play elsewhere, and so on. The more bonus points a gaming site scores, the easier it is for players to choose it over its competitors. But try as hard as I could, the most I could give was 2 points within the promotional section.
Though the casino features a VIP program, the operator doesn't make it clear why one would want to advance up Silver, Gold, VIP Premier and VIP Elite level. With the exception of enhanced promotions and birthday treats, stated benefits are mostly intangible. This is an invite-only club and it's not explained how players can become eligible – thus zero bonus points related to this element. Other than the welcome offer and VIP club, there are no permanently available specials, though the casino does organise one-off promotions such as currently active Advent Calendar with daily offers. All in all, it deserves 2 bonus points at best. You'll be able to find far more attractive deals among the best bonus offers in the UK.
Pots of Luck is a typical Nektan casino in terms of design, structure and content. Even if it may not be to my liking, there are clearly tons of other players who appreciate simplicity and no-nonsense venue for playing top-quality slots. The team has disposed of any unnecessary extras to provide an easy-to-manage website populated by popular titles guaranteed to appeal to slots fans everywhere. With licences issued by two trustworthy regulatory bodies and the RNG tested by a reputable partner, the operator dispels any potential doubts concerning safety and fairness.

However, seeing that many other online casinos feature gaming catalogues twice the size of this one, I'm struggling to understand what would make players choose Pots of Luck over its competitors. There aren't that many promo offers to compensate for small number of slots or practically non-existent assortment of other casino games. The same logic applies to payments, in particular the 3-day withdrawal processing period, and support service which is not available 24/7. I'd say there's a lot of work to be done if Pots of Luck aspires to compete with the best, such as PlayOJO or Casumo.
If you feel the above Pots of Luck Casino review has failed to provide some important information, let me know by sending an email to contact@casinoreviews.co.uk and I'll do my best to fill in the blanks.
Which payment options does Pots of Luck Casino offer?
Players are able to make deposits via credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Maestro), Skrill, Neteller, PayPal, Trustly, Giropay, Sofort, PaySafeCard, Zimpler and Boku. All options are free of charge except for Boku mobile deposits which will incur a 15% fee.
The average payout rate is 95.6%.
Residents of any other country except for the UK, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Canada and New Zealand are not currently permitted to create a player account.
Rainbow Riches offers 3 interactive features, with Wishing Well and Pots Of Gold awarding multipliers and Road To Riches sending the player up the cash path.
Jumanji slot, inspired by the popular 1995 fantasy adventure movie, offers four randomly-activated features, bonus Board Game, four kinds of free spins and more.
Live Da Vinci's Treasure Roulette combines a classic casino game with a single reel borrowed from Pragmatic Play's slot of the same name.
The quickest and easiest way to contact customer support is through Live Chat, which is available between 8 am and midnight GMT.

On the 8th December, despite a day, afternoon, and early evening of winter rain, the Synagogue was filled with locals and others to enjoy an evening of Sephardi music played on traditional instruments. This was an integral part of a richly textured series of tales of the Sephardic journey to the southern Balkans in the 15th century after the expulsion of the Jews of Spain. The performance and selection of music and personal experiences of Sephardi Jews formed the core of the programme that was written and performed by Elias Giannikopoulos with music played by Dimitris Psonis. Both created an atmosphere that was literally spell-binding as the Synagogue was almost tangibly reminiscent of a time longpast when story-tellers provided the links of traditions now lost and apparently and unsuccessfully replaced or smothered by the TV and other multi-media. Of such success was the evening that we hope to be able to bring back both performers in the Spring of 2016.
6th – 10th December. The well-planned visit of Melek Saharaiyah also overlapped with the concert. Melek participated in the seminar that N. Stavroulakis gave a paper at in Athens and that was sponsored by the French School of Archaeology two months ago. In the course of this seminar he was sufficiently intrigued by what we are doing at Etz Hayyim that he organized this visit that fortunately coincided with the concert. He is a highly successful free-lance creator of documentaries esp. for the new Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisationsin Marseilles. His and their interest in us is that we are part of a general growing concern over the indifference to the rich cultural, religious and even ethnic strands that make up the Mediterranean in toto even as a quiet response to the technocratic values that seem to stem out of a Europe that seems more and more indefinable. The Museum in Marseilles has seen an enormous success in only two years and has had some 2,000,000 visitors since its opening. The choice of Marseilles for its creation and locus reveals the dominating spirit and vision of its creators:located geographically central in the Mediterranean it was founded in the 6th century BCE by Greek colonists as Massalia and has acted an entrance into Europe that enriched the interior or Gaul, or as it was later called, France, from Hellenic, Hellenistic and Roman times.

The gross debt of the Regional Administration of Madeira stood at 4.879 billion Euros at the end of the 3rd quarter 2018, decreasing by 17 million Euros (-0.4%) from the year-ago quarter and increasing by 170 million Euros (+3.6%) from the 2nd quarter of 2018. This quarterly growth in the gross debt is justified by new borrowing (debt rollover) without the corresponding capital repayments which result from debt service (which occurred in the last quarter of 2018), as well from the substitution of commercial debt by financial debt.
The breakdown of the gross debt by financial instrument shows a decrease in the share of loans from 72.7% in the 3rd quarter of 2017 to 68.3% in the reference quarter. This decline was offset by the growth in the percentage of securities which, during the same period, rose from 27.3% to 31.7%.
The net debt of the Regional Administration of Madeira stood at 4.540 billion Euros at the end of the 3rd quarter 2018.Compared to the previous quarter, the net debt decreased by 46 million Euros (-1.0%) decreasing as well 118 million Euros (-2.5%) over the year-ago quarter.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Sam Reinhart came up just short of ending the Buffalo Sabres ' seven-game winless streak in overtime.
He made up for it in the shootout.
Reinhart scored the deciding goal to lead the Sabres to a 4-3 win over the St. Louis Blues on Sunday. It came moments after his backhand chance struck the post with less than a second remaining in overtime.
It resulted in Buffalo's first win since March 1, and Buffalo's third win in its past 16 games.
Johan Larsson , Evan Rodrigues and Conor Sheary scored in regulation for the Sabres. Carter Hutton made 30 saves.
After Jack Eichel and Tyler Bozak traded goals to open the shootout, Reinhart scored on Buffalo's final attempt. Reinhart's wrist shot had just enough to get past St. Louis goalie Jake Allen, who got a piece of the shot with his glove.
Former Sabres center Ryan O'Reilly then had a chance to extend the shootout, but his backhand chance hit the crossbar.
Pat Maroon, David Perron and Brayden Schenn scored for the Blues, who remain in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race with 82 points (37-27-8). Allen made 31 saves.
It marked the end of an ultimately disappointing road trip for St. Louis. On Saturday, the Blues dominated the surging Pittsburgh Penguins with a 5-1 win - but that was surrounded by defeats to struggling teams like Ottawa and Buffalo.
The game was mostly even and back and forth from beginning to end.
Schenn evened the score at 3 with 11:19 remaining on a questionable goal that was challenged by the Sabres. With Hutton sprawled along the ice - and O'Reilly falling on top of him - Schenn went around the other side for a wrap-around.
Larsson opened the scoring 6:42 into the game. Collecting a cross-ice pass from defenseman Zach Bogosian, Larsson's wrist shot found the near corner for sixth goal of the season.
Maroon evened the score just over two minutes later, curling around the net and leaving the Sabres defense confused for his seventh goal of the year.
Rodrigues restored Buffalo's lead with 5:12 remaining in the first on a 2-on-1, patiently cutting inside and tucking a low shot inside the far post.
Sheary made it 3-1 7:46 into the second on a similar 2-on-1 rush. Rookie defenseman Rasmus Dahlin set up the odd-man rush with a terrific breakout pass, and Sheary did the rest with a shot high to the far corner.
Perron got the Blues back in it two minutes later. The veteran forward threaded a long shot through traffic for his 18th goal of the season at 12:15.
NOTES: Blues LW Alexander Steen played in his 700th game for St. Louis. The former first-round pick began his career in Toronto before being traded to St. Louis in 2008. ... Veteran Jason Pominville was a healthy scratch for Buffalo, in a surprise move. D Jake McCabe, LW Scott Wilson and D Matt Hunwick were also scratched for Buffalo. ... Vladimir Tarasenko (upper body), D Joel Edmundson, LW Sammy Blais and C Robby Fabbri were scratched for St. Louis.
Blues: Home against Edmonton on Tuesday.
Sabres: Home against Toronto on Wednesday.

The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. Active for six decades, they are one of the most popular and enduring bands of the rock era. In the early 1960s, the Rolling Stones pioneered the gritty, rhythmically driven sound that came to define hard rock. Their first stable line-up consisted of vocalist Mick Jagger, multi-instrumentalist Brian Jones, guitarist Keith Richards, bassist Bill Wyman, and drummer Charlie Watts. During their formative years, Jones was the primary leader: he assembled the band, named it, and drove their sound and image. After Andrew Loog Oldham became the group's manager in 1963, he encouraged them to write their own songs. Jagger and Richards became the primary creative force behind the band, alienating Jones, who had developed a drug addiction that interfered with his ability to contribute meaningfully.
Rooted in blues and early rock and roll, the Rolling Stones started out playing covers and were at the forefront of the British Invasion in 1964, becoming identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. They then found greater success with their own material, as "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" (1965), "Get Off of My Cloud" (1965), and "Paint It Black" (1966) became international number-one hits. Aftermath (1966) – their first entirely original album – is considered the most important of their formative records. In 1967, they had the double-sided hit "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend the Night Together" and experimented with psychedelic rock on Their Satanic Majesties Request. They returned to their rhythm and blues roots with hit songs such as "Jumpin' Jack Flash" (1968) and "Honky Tonk Women" (1969), and albums such as Beggars Banquet (1968), featuring "Sympathy for the Devil", and Let It Bleed (1969), featuring "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Gimme Shelter". Let It Bleed was the first of five consecutive number-one albums in the UK.
Jones left the band shortly before his death in 1969, having been replaced by guitarist Mick Taylor. That year they were first introduced on stage as "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World". Sticky Fingers (1971), which yielded "Brown Sugar" and included the first usage of their tongue and lips logo, was their first of eight consecutive number-one studio albums in the US. Exile on Main St. (1972), featuring "Tumbling Dice", and Goats Head Soup (1973), yielding the hit ballad "Angie", were also best sellers. Taylor was replaced by Ronnie Wood in 1974. The band continued to release successful albums, including their two largest sellers: Some Girls (1978), featuring "Miss You", and Tattoo You (1981), featuring "Start Me Up". Steel Wheels (1989) was widely considered a comeback album and was followed by Voodoo Lounge (1994), a worldwide number-one album. Both releases were promoted by large stadium and arena tours, as the Stones continued to be a huge concert attraction; by 2007 they had recorded the all-time highest-grossing concert tour three times, and as recently as 2021 they were the highest-earning live act of the year. From Wyman's departure in 1993 to Watts' death in 2021, the band continued as a four-piece core, with Darryl Jones playing bass on tour and on most studio recordings, while Steve Jordan became their touring drummer following Watts' death. Their 2016 album, Blue & Lonesome, became their twelfth UK number-one album.
The Rolling Stones' estimated record sales of 200 million make them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. The band has won three Grammy Awards and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Billboard magazine and Rolling Stone have ranked the band as one of the greatest of all time.

The city is poised to begin hiring a new group of Portland police employees who will carry pepper spray but no guns and handle certain low-level calls after the city approved money more than a year ago for the new jobs.
The cadre of public safety specialists would be represented by the Portland Police Association as civilian employees intended to support sworn officers, according to a new city agreement.
They would respond to non-emergency calls to help search for missing people, help with non-injury traffic accidents, attend neighborhood or community events and do follow-up on property crimes by phone or in person when there's no immediate suspect information, under a negotiated agreement with the rank-and-file police union.
Mayor Ted Wheeler, who serves as police commissioner, and the City Council in June 2017 approved money for the program in the 2017-2018 budget. The cost for 12 specialists is $649,459, according to the city.
Little action occurred until this summer when the city began negotiating with the union. Among the issues: qualifications and training for the new class of employees.
The agreement is set to go before City Council on Wednesday. The proposal is expected to pass, although one commissioner is expected to vote against it while another has voiced concerns but supports the initiative.
The specialists' starting pay would be $49,816 and jump to $58,302 after four years.
Former Police Chief Mike Marshman had hoped to model the program after a similar one in San Diego when he was an officer there for two years before joining Portland police.
When first proposed last year, Marshman referred to the positions as community service officers and said they would bolster the number of officers on the street "at a more effective cost to the public." Patrol officers would have time to handle their calls and become more engaged with the residents and businesses in their patrol districts, he said.
But it appears the scope of their work was narrowed during negotiations with the union.
Commissioner Amanda Fritz said anything to get the specialist program started is probably worth supporting, but she wants the program to evolve over time to meet earlier promises that they'd serve as community service officers.
Commissioner Chloe Eudaly's chief of staff, Marshall Runkel, said Eudaly is likely to vote no and feels it's a bait-and-switch to give the specialists so much deskwork.
The new specialist positions were placed in the rank-and-file police union as their roles were "closest to the job duties" of the members of the Portland Police Association, said bureau spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson. The specialists won't drive patrol cars but other city vehicles.
The job would be open to those 21 or older, with a high school diploma or GED and either two years of work experience, two years of military service or four years of reserve military service.
Those hired must complete 12 months of probation to include extensive class and on-the-job training provided by Portland police. They'll work four days of 10-hour shifts, mirroring patrol officers, and report to a police sergeant.
They'll undergo the same background checks and psychological exams as Portland officers but will face a lower-standard physical agility test for hiring. The agility test will mirror one now given to parking code enforcers in the city.
The specialists also will receive use-of-force training on the bureau's guidelines for the pepper spray they will carry.

Following the launch of InHabit earlier this week, Sportradar sat down with Customer Director for Sports Media, Jonathan Earle to discuss how the AI-led content solution ticks all the boxes for publishers, the results so far and where it fits into Sportradar's holistic approach to user engagement.
In what's been a tumultuous few years within the sports publishing industry, Earle's statement will strike a chord with plenty. Like most industries, the media panorama has shifted dramatically in recent years, with the birth of new, younger publishers and new entrants in the marketplace among the key catalysts in that change.
Content remains king, however, with InHabit – a joint relationship between Sportradar and Arkadium – designed to drive up engagement and keep readers on web pages and mobile apps for longer using interactive, gamified widgets or 'factives'.
"Back in the day when there were very few publishers, they would be the source of your sports news and content and people didn't have a great deal of choice so they would generally just go to the same place," Earle explains.
"The problem publishers have now is that the landscape has changed, you now have new entrants in the market such as Amazon, Facebook and Twitter – they're going to be producing content in different formats that sports fans are just going to lap up. Then you have the rise of the 'amateur' publisher – generally younger sports fans who are part the FIFA generation – producing their own content and becoming publishers in their own right, who go less and less to more traditional publishers for their content.
With the rise of mobile consumption, viral content on social media and the increasing battle for competition from non-traditional players, it's never been more important for publishers to be innovative and brave when it comes to engaging with readers.
Testing these factives has further shown just how many sports fans engage on the page, with Austrian media powerhouse LAOLA1 seeing a fivefold increase in average click-through rates and multiple factives being consumed per session. Such figures clearly show a route to achieving what remains an enduring target for publishers – creating a bond between sports fans and their teams or players.
For Sportradar, InHabit also fits into a wider vision when it comes to fan engagement and follows hot on the heels of social media visualisation tool, GameBeats.
Summing up, Earle believes the full turnkey approach to user engagement and media consumption is the way forward and that the trio of GameBeats, InHabit and Sportradar's array of beautifully designed widgets can combine to become a potent trio akin to Messrs Salah, Firmino and Mane.
"If you're a publisher, you want as many sports fans as possible to engage with your content and to know your brand through social media and we have GameBeats for that. Those social media graphics drive traffic into the web and once you're there, you have Arkadium, which keeps you on the page for longer with the support of our statistical data to boot," he added.

SVG Cleaner - batch cleaning SVG files from unnecessary stuff.
Cleaning is lossless for the visible image. In fact, the program does two things: deletes the elements and attributes that are not participating in the final image, and leads involved elements and attributes to a more compact. In the end, the resulting file size can be reduced by 40-60%.
Generally, SVG files produced by vector editors contain a lot of unused elements and attributes that just blow up their size without providing better visible quality.
Images cleaned by SVG Cleaner are typically 40-60 percent smaller than the original ones.
Important! The internal image viewer in SVG Cleaner uses the QtSvg module for rendering SVG images. Qt supports only the static features of SVG 1.2 Tiny, and that imposes a number of restrictions on rendering of advanced features. For instance, elements such as clipPath, mask, filters etc. will not be rendered at all.

The Prodigy are a Braintree, Essex, UK, electronic music group (aka Prodigy), formed by Liam Howlett (composition, keyboards), in 1990. They have sold over 20 million records worldwide, which is almost unequalled in dance music history.
Their music consists of various styles ranging from rave and breakbeat hardcore in the early 90s to alternative rock and big beat, with punk vocal elements in later times. Other current band members include: Keith Flint (dancing, vocals), Maxim (MCing, vocals) ...Read More
Their music consists of various styles ranging from rave and breakbeat hardcore in the early 90s to alternative rock and big beat, with punk vocal elements in later times. Other current band members include: Keith Flint (dancing, vocals), Maxim (MCing, vocals) and live guitarist Rob Holliday (Marilyn Manson, Gary Numan, Curve, Sulpher).
Leeroy Thornhill (dancing, occasional live keyboards), was a member of the band from 1990 to 2000, as well was a female dancer / vocalist Sharky, who left the band during their early period. Other notable former live members include: Gizz Butt (guitar - English Dogs, Janus Stark, Sabbat) - toured with the band for three years throughout the late '90s, Kieron Pepper (drum - Realtv, Happy Gilmore) - played for the group from 1997 to 2007 (also contributing to the solo projects of Maxim and Flint's band, Flint), as well as Jim Davies (guitar - Pitchshifter), who also performed in Flint.
The Prodigy first emerged on the underground rave scene in the early 1990, releasing their début LP Experience (1992) and have since then achieved immense popularity and worldwide renown. Some of their most popular songs include "Charly", "Out of Space", "No Good (Start the Dance)", "Voodoo People", "Firestarter", "Breathe" and "Smack My Bitch Up".
The name displayed on album covers changed from 'The Prodigy' to 'Prodigy' between Music for the Jilted Generation and The Fat of the Land (1997) and back again with the release of Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned (2004). However, Howlett has attested the title has always been 'The Prodigy' and the change was made only to fit within the displayed logo.
Maxim originally began as an MC for the band before doing vocals on "Poison", a track on their second album Music for the Jilted Generation and then several others on The Fat of the Land. He remains a member, MCing at the live shows.
Flint began as a dancer for the band before moving on to become a vocalist initially on the track "Firestarter" but then for several others on the third album The Fat of the Land. Flint is probably the most visually recognisable member of the band and considered by many to be the front-man though he has very little input to writing the songs. He still sings with the live show but has virtually no input on the albums however, he did write the single "Baby's Got a Temper".
Following the relative commercial and critical failure of 2004's Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned the band released a greatest hits Their Law: The Singles 1990-2005 before 2009's return to form Invaders Must Die.
After the release and success of The Fat of the Land, Howlett was feeling down as he could not produce any songs up to standard up until one of his friends showed him the program Reason from Propellerhead Software. This program inspired him who instantly went to the studio and started producing tracks using it; he decided he did not want to use it for baselines though, as he prefers the analogue sound.

Once again this year I did just a little bit of quick and dirty sewing for the girls before our trip away.
For this dress for Sophia I just made up the pattern and guessed the dimensions (yeeha) and when I sewed it together it didn't fit. So I had to add the orange twill panelling down either side so the child could actually breathe in it. Even though it was a beeyatch to sew in, I love the little detail of the twill and think it really lifts the end result.
The back is a bit of a dog's breakfast.
I had to cut a "v" in the material there too so we could get it over Sophia's head and the hastily constructed button and loop system looks cute but does not do the job. It gapes and falls open but, ya know, Sophia can't see it so all's well.
I found some gorgeous lilac linen for Olive and spent a lot more time than I would usually invest in making this little top for her.
I used this pattern which I really liked and will use again. I nearly had a nervous breakdown shirring the bloody thing though as my machine started playing up but once done I was pleased.
I also made a shirt for Sophia using the same pattern and some lovely, soft and light yellow fabric. She doesn't think it's much chop though. Too voluminous. I really should start measuring that child before I sew.
Finally, a couple of new backpacks complete with the fabric luggage tags I showed you a while back (tutorial for the luggage tags here).
I do love that the kids are still young enough to think the clothes I make them are awesomenosity on a stick.
I've threatened to make my husband some boxer shorts (I am outraged by how expensive such simple garments are) and I wonder how awesome he would find those. Especially if I choose some entirely inappropriate fabric. I think it might be worth it just for the look on his face.

Q: Allow to override/set constraints validation for a child object for Hibernate validation I have the following class :
class ContactInformation {
   String phone;
   String email;
}

which is used in the following classes :
class Person {
   @Valid
   ContactInformation contactInformation;
}

class Station {
   @Valid
   ContactInformation contactInformation;
}

The thing is that any instance of Person must have an email, but it is an optional information for Station. Do I have a way to define this at owner level to avoid duplicate the class ContactInformation ?

A: Instead of the field level validator you can add the Type level validator.
Steps:

*

*Define Type level annotation

*Write Validator for new annotation

*Introduce your type with a new annotation

Define:
    @Constraint(validatedBy = {PersonClassOptionalEmailValidator.class})
    @Target({ElementType.TYPE})
    @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
    public @interface PersonalEmailValid {
        String message() default "Invalid Email address";

        Class<?>[] groups() default {};

        Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {};

    }

Writing Custom Validator:
    public static class PersonClassOptionalEmailValidator implements ConstraintValidator<PersonalEmailValid, Person> {
        // Test Email validator, you should check prope regex for production
        public static final String EMAIL_REGEX = "^[a-zA-Z0-9+_.-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+$";
        private final Pattern pattern;

        public PersonClassOptionalEmailValidator() {
            pattern = Pattern.compile(EMAIL_REGEX);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean isValid(Person person, ConstraintValidatorContext constraintValidatorContext) {
            if (person.contactInformation != null) {
                return pattern.matcher(person.contactInformation.email).matches();
            }
            return false;
        }
    }

Introduce new annotation to class
    @Getter
    @Setter
    @NoArgsConstructor
    @PersonalEmailValid
    static class Person {
        @Valid
        ContactInformation contactInformation;
    }

Marc Thiessen: Planned Parenthood defending infanticide
By Marc A. Thiessen
Marc A. Thiessen
Columnist focusing on foreign and domestic policy
When Rep. Todd Akin made his outrageous comments about "legitimate rape" it was front page news — and rightly so. But when a representative of Planned Parenthood is caught on camera defending infanticide, it merits barely a mention in the mainstream media.
Testifying against a Florida bill that would require abortionists to provide emergency medical care to an infant who survives an abortion, Planned Parenthood lobbyist Alisa LaPolt Snow was asked point blank: "If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?" She replied: "We believe that any decision that's made should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician."
Jaws in the committee room dropped. Asked again, she repeated her answer.
Only after a firestorm erupted in the conservative media did Planned Parenthood issued a statement that in the "extremely unlikely and highly unusual" event that a baby were born alive it would "provide appropriate care to both the woman and the infant." That is debatable, since a Planned Parenthood counselor has been caught on tape admitting that the organization leaves infants born alive after an abortion to die. But if Planned Parenthood really does provide such care, why was it lobbying against a bill requiring such care in the first place?
The fact is, it is not as unusual for children to be left to die after a failed abortion as some might think. Right now in Philadelphia, abortionist Kermit Gosnell is on trial for the murder of seven infants who were born alive. According to District Attorney Seth Williams, Gosnell "induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord." Prosecutors said that Gosnell ended hundreds of pregnancies in this way. "These killings became so routine that no one could put an exact number on them. They were considered 'standard procedure.' "
Across the border in Canada, the government reports that between 2000 and 2009, 491 babies were left to die after they were born alive during abortions. There are no similar statistics here in the United States, but according to the Abortion Survivors Network there are an estimated 44,000 abortion survivors living in the country today. How many more did not survive for lack of medical care?
Recently a major motion picture, October Baby, told the true story of one abortion survivor in search of her birth mother and of her struggle to forgive her. The woman depicted in the movie, Gianna Jessen, testified before Congress about why she lived after her mother underwent a saline abortion: "Fortunately for me the abortionist was not in the clinic when I arrived alive... I was early.... I am sure I would not be here today if the abortionist would have been in the clinic, as his job is to take life, not sustain it."
Amazingly, some argue that killing babies like Gianna is morally permissible. Recently two bioethicists, Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva, published a paper in the peer-reviewed Journal of Medical Ethics entitled "After-birth abortion: why should the baby live?" They wrote: "[W]hen circumstances occur after birth such that they would have justified abortion, what we call after-birth abortion should be permissible. … [W]e propose to call this practice 'after-birth abortion', rather than 'infanticide,' to emphasize that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus … rather than to that of a child. Therefore, we claim that killing a newborn could be ethically permissible in all the circumstances where abortion would be. Such circumstances include cases where the newborn has the potential to have an (at least) acceptable life, but the well-being of the family is at risk."
This is Orwellian. The term "after-birth abortion" is an oxymoron. You can't kill an unborn child after it has been born.
The fact that Planned Parenthood aggressively lobbies against legislation requiring medical care for such children is appalling. The fact that a Planned Parenthood official testified that killing such children is permissible is shocking. And the fact that most major media outlets — including The Post — all but ignored her comments is distressing.
Our country is deeply divided over the question of abortion. But can we not all at least agree that killing a born child is murder — not a question that "should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician"?

Czerwony kapitan (, ) – czesko-polsko-słowacki film sensacyjno-kryminalny z 2016 roku w reżyserii Michala Kollára, zrealizowany na podstawie bestsellerowej powieści Dominika Dána pod tym samym tytułem (wydanej w listopadzie 2007).

Fabuła oparta została częściowo na faktach, bowiem autor książki – stanowiącej podstawę do scenariusza filmowego – pracował w wydziale kryminalnym bratysławskiej policji i był konsultantem ds. kryminalnych ministra spraw wewnętrznych Słowacji.

Czerwony kapitan jest pierwszą filmową adaptacją niezwykle popularnych w Czechach i na Słowacji książek Dominika Dána.

W Czechach oraz na Słowacji jego premiera miała miejsce 10 marca 2016, a w Polsce – 26 sierpnia 2016.

Fabuła
Bratysława, sierpień 1992 roku – niespełna 3 lata po aksamitnej rewolucji i 5 miesięcy przed rozpadem Czechosłowacji. Po upadku komunizmu pozostało wiele nierozwiązanych spraw kryminalnych, których sprawcy nigdy nie ponieśli kary.

Podczas przenoszenia grobów na jednym z bratysławskich cmentarzy dochodzi do niefortunnego zdarzenia. Grabarze przypadkowo upuszczają trumnę, z której środka wypadają szczątki nieboszczyka. Uwagę mężczyzn zwraca czaszka denata, bowiem tkwi w niej gwóźdź. Dlatego zgłaszają sprawę na policję. Śledztwo zostaje przydzielone porucznikowi Richardowi Krauzowi – młodemu i ambitnemu detektywowi z Wydziału Zabójstw bratysławskiej policji (Maciej Stuhr). Pierwsze trudności pojawiają się już na etapie ustalania tożsamości nieboszczyka. W księgach parafialnych widnieje informacja, że w grobie leży Karol Klokner. Były kościelny został pochowany 17 maja 1985 roku, czyli dokładnie tego samego dnia, gdy zmarł.

Wszystkie tropy prowadzą do Vlastimila Miloučkiego zwanego "Czerwonym Kapitanem" (Oldřich Kaiser) – owianego złą sławą specjalisty od "ostatecznych" przesłuchań z czasów minionej władzy. Niewielu przeżyło spotkanie z nim. Z każdą minutą śledztwa wychodzi na jaw coraz więcej faktów.

Krauz za wszelką cenę stara się rozwijać zagadkę, wplątując się w niebezpieczną grę, której tropy prowadzą do byłych tajnych agentów służb i skorumpowanych hierarchów Kościoła katolickiego. Im bliżej rozwiązania tym trudniej ocenić, kto jest ofiarą, a kto katem. Niezrażony policjant kontynuując śledztwo, zamiast odpowiedzi doprowadza do tragedii – śmierci kolejnej niewinnej ofiary byłego reżimu.

Transformacja ustrojowa, dawni ubecy, mętne interesy i wrzucony w to twardy, uczciwy i ambitny glina próbujący sam stawić czoła sieci powiązań byłych funkcjonariuszy służby bezpieczeństwa – oczywistym skojarzeniem dla polskiego widza jest film Psy Władysława Pasikowskiego, a przede wszystkim role głównych bohaterów Richarda Krauza (Macieja Stuhra) i Franza Maurera (Bogusław Linda).

Obsada
 Maciej Stuhr – porucznik Richard Krauz, detektyw Wydziału Zabójstw
 Oldřich Kaiser – Vlastimil Miloučký / "Czerwony kapitan"
 Martin Finger – Ivan Canis
 Michal Suchánek – major Raninec
 Marián Geišberg – kapitan Eduard "Edo" Burger, partner Krauza
 Zuzana Kronerová – Marika Kovačičová vel Malachowska, pracownica administracji cmentarza
 Ladislav Chudík – ksiądz Janetka
 Martin Pechlát – brat "Czerwonego Kapitana"
 Helena Krajčiová – Sylvia, żona Krauza
 Jan Vlasák – biskup Jastrab
 Mário Kubec – Volak
 Ondřej Malý – Edo Stojka alias Kyblík
 Attila Mokoš – Kapitan major

Postać Richarda Krauza zagrał Maciej Stuhr, ponieważ reżyser Michal Kollár postanowił obsadzić w głównej roli aktora, którego nie zna szersza publiczność na Słowacji i w Czechach. Wybór ten został zatwierdzony przez autora powieści – Dominika Dána. W polskojęzycznej wersji filmu Maciej Stuhr zdubbingował samego siebie (w 2017 przyznano mu za to antynagrodę "Węża" w kategorii Efekt specjalnej troski).

Miejsca kręcenia zdjęć
Rozpoczęcie zdjęć do filmu nastąpiło 24 czerwca 2014 w Ołomuńcu. Zdjęcia do filmu nakręcono w trzech państwach:
 Czechach: Praga (Studio Filmowe Barrandov), Brno, Ołomuniec i okolice, Šumperk, Żermanice, Cieplice (główny dworzec kolejowy), Beroun (stacja kolejowa), autostrada D8 w pobliżu Lovosic;
 Polsce: Kraków;
 Słowacji: Bratysława (ulica Špitálska, Most SNP, basen Delfín).

Blue Amnesia XXL Auto by Dinafem Seeds is a feminized autoflowering Sativa/Indica/Ruderalis cannabis strain that results from the cross between an Original Amnesia Autoflowering and a Auto Blueberry. It is an excellent marijuana strain with which to obtain quality crops without complications and in a short time.
Blue Amnesia XXL Auto boasts beautiful purple/violet hues if exposed to a temperature difference of -10ºC at night compared to daytime. Ideally, it should be planted in mid-May to make the most of the intense light and the photoperiod of the season. Adding 30% of coco to the soil mix will improve oxygenation and will speed up the different metabolic processes.
Its flavour and aroma are deep with mild notes of berries and black pepper. The long-lasting effect is powerful, physical and mental. It is the perfect cannabis strain to have lively debates with friends.
