Q: Google PubSub queue for distributed state management I have n sources that a job depends on.
Each source has a separate topic in Google PubSub; when a source is updated it sends a message in the corresponding topic subscription. When all sources are updated (i.e. when there is at least one new message in each subscription) the job can start.
The job is scheduled with airflow. The DAG starts with a series of parallel tasks one for each subscription that check if a new message has been published, but without aknowledging it. The next task waits for all the previous ones and uses XCOM to see if all contains a message. In that case it proceeds with the job (it first aknowledge the messages), otherwise it stops.
In this way I acknowledge the messages only when they are all available, using PubSub as a coordinator. The messages frequency is once or twice a day at most.
Basically I'm using PubSub as way to keep "state". Suppose I have different jobs that depend on the same source. I can create a subscription for the same topic on each job and it all works fine.
Is there a better way/tool/framework to do this?

A: According with the volume of message that you have, and from my previous implementations, I can recommend you to persist states in Firestore: serverless, affordable, fast...
When a message is published, trigger a function that persist state in Firestore
Then, trigger the number of processes that you want, query Firestone to check if all the states are OK, and continue or stop.
It's my pattern for synchronization. Not that the best!

Anyway, if you create a subscription per process, it also works. The message are duplicated in each subscription and thus you can process them independently.

Death Penalty Abolition Debate
Mercy petition
Polity | Mains Paper 2: Executive & Judiciary
Prelims level : Power of the President to pardon under Article 72
Mains level : Paper 2- Delay in carrying out death penalty and issues associated with it
The article highlights the issue of delay in carrying out the dealth penalty and issues associated with it.
Review of India's position on the death penalty
The delay in carrying out the death penalty is one of the reasons to review India's position on capital punishment.
The debate on the efficacy of the death penalty in reducing crime has been going on for several decades.
A few years ago, the issue of abolishing capital punishment was raised in the Rajya Sabha but was rejected by a voice vote.
The then Minister of State for Home Affairs stated that the government was not contemplating abolition of the death penalty.
In 2015, the Law Commission of India proposed abolishing the death penalty and sought the comments of States and Union Territories on the subject.
India figures among the 56 nations in the world that have retained the death penalty.
Issue of delay in carrying out the punishment
The prolonged detention of death row convicts in prison is not just inhuman but also against the canons of justice.
The delay coupled with long years of solitary confinement leads to immense psychological trauma.
It is small wonder that the courts tend to take a lenient view and reduce the sentence when such cases of prolonged years of detention come before them.
A time frame needs to be fixed for the President to dispose of mercy petitions.
Delays in investigations, court hearings, and administrative steps to be taken after the final verdict need to be inquired into, and responsibility fixed.
Consider the question "Against the backdrop of delay in carrying out the dealth penalty in India, take the review of India's position on the abolition of death penalty."
With the changing time, we must change and so do the way we punish people. Capital punishment should be abolished in the country and until then, the inordinate delays in carrying out punishment should be avoided.

Q: Why i += i + i++ equals 0? Consider this code:
var i = 0;
>> undefined

i += i + i++;
>> 0

i
>> 0  // why not 1?

I would expect i to be 1 because of the increment (++) operator. What I think should happen is something like:
i = 0 + 0 + (i = i + 1)
i = 0 + 1
i = 1

Why it's returning zero instead? Could someone explain what happens under the scene?

A: It's important to realize is that i++ increments i, but returns the original value of i.
This postfix version of the operator (also called post-increment) is documented here:

If used postfix, with operator after operand (for example, x++), then it returns the value before incrementing.

So this evaluates to:
i = 0 + (j = i, i += 1, j);

Note the use of the comma operator above.
What you're describing is much more like the prefix version of the operator (also called pre-increment), ++i, which would evaluate to:
i = 0 + (i += 1);

And which does indeed return 1.

A: It should be
i += i + (++i);

If you use i++ the increment is after the expression, so it will resolve simply as i

Strong Fiscal 2021 Second Quarter Performance
Issues Fiscal 2021 Sales and Earnings Expectations
Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.33 Per Share
OSHKOSH, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK), a leading innovator of mission-critical vehicles and essential equipment, today reported fiscal 2021 second quarter net income of $99.6 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, compared to $68.6 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 included after-tax charges of $2.5 million associated with restructuring actions in the Access Equipment segment and $0.2 million associated with business acquisition costs in the Defense segment. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 included an after-tax charge of $6.5 million associated with debt extinguishment costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company's senior notes and a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in Europe of $11.4 million. Excluding these charges, adjusted1 net income was $102.3 million, or $1.48 per diluted share, and $86.5 million, or $1.25 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. Comparisons in this news release are to the corresponding period of the prior year, unless otherwise noted.
Consolidated net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 5.1 percent to $1.89 billion as a result of higher Fire & Emergency and Access Equipment segment sales, offset in part by lower sales in the Defense segment.
Consolidated operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 5.4 percent to $140.8 million, or 7.5 percent of sales, compared to $133.6 million, or 7.4 percent of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily due to improved product mix, the impact of higher consolidated sales volume and lower spending resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, offset in part by higher incentive compensation accruals and a decrease in cumulative catch-up adjustments on contract margins in the Defense segment. Excluding $2.2 million of pre-tax charges related to restructuring actions and $0.3 million of pre-tax business acquisition costs, adjusted1 operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $143.3 million, or 7.6 percent of sales.
"We are pleased to report strong fiscal second quarter results that exceeded our expectations and were higher than the prior year. Our Access Equipment and Fire & Emergency segments both delivered strong revenue and profitability, and our outlook across the company has improved considerably over the past several months," said John C. Pfeifer, president and chief executive officer of Oshkosh Corporation. "We expect our strong second quarter performance and improved outlook to yield growth in revenues, operating income and earnings per share in fiscal 2021 compared with last year's results.
"During the quarter, our Defense team's hard work and determination were rewarded when the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) selected Oshkosh as the winner to build its Next Generation Delivery Vehicle (NGDV). The NGDV will revolutionize the USPS delivery vehicle fleet with improved safety, reliability, sustainability and cost-efficiency as well as a better working experience for our nation's postal carriers. The 10-year program provides the USPS with both zero-emission Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and fuel efficient, low emission Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles, with the option of delivering any combination, up to 100 percent of either model. Our vehicle design also provides the USPS with the flexibility to convert ICE units to BEV in the future. We are proud to be working with the USPS over the next decade on this historic program.
"We are pleased to reinstate our practice of providing expectations for the current fiscal year. For fiscal 2021, we expect full year revenues to be in the range of $7.75 billion to $7.95 billion, leading to expected diluted earnings per share of $6.10 to $6.60 or adjusted earnings per share of $6.35 to $6.85. Both of these estimates represent growth compared to fiscal 2020, and we expect to exit fiscal 2021 in a position of strength," said Pfeifer.
Factors affecting second quarter results for the Company's business segments included:
Access Equipment - Access Equipment segment sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 6.5 percent to $738.2 million due to improved market demand in Asia and North America. The second quarter of fiscal 2020 was impacted by low market demand, due in large part to the global economic shutdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Access Equipment segment operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 13.7 percent to $80.5 million, or 10.9 percent of sales, compared to $70.8 million, or 10.2 percent of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in operating income was primarily due to the impact of higher sales volume, lower spending resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and improved product mix, offset in part by higher incentive compensation accruals. Excluding $2.2 million of pre-tax charges related to restructuring actions, adjusted1 operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $82.7 million, or 11.2 percent of sales.
Defense - Defense segment sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 2.6 percent to $614.7 million due to lower Family of Medium Tactical Vehicle sales volume and a $19 million decrease in cumulative catch-up adjustments on contracts, offset in part by higher Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicle sales volume and sales of Pratt Miller after its acquisition on January 19, 2021.
Defense segment operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 40.5 percent to $35.5 million, or 5.8 percent of sales, compared to $59.7 million, or 9.5 percent of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in operating income was due to a $14 million decrease in cumulative catch-up adjustments on contract margins as well as costs and inefficiencies associated with the establishment of an additional production line.
Fire & Emergency - Fire & Emergency segment sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 29.0 percent to $312.5 million. Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 were negatively impacted due to delayed deliveries resulting from a supplier quality issue and travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic that prevented customers from inspecting and accepting vehicles. In addition, Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting vehicle volume was higher in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as two multi-unit awards were recognized in the quarter.
Fire & Emergency segment operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 149.5 percent to $47.4 million, or 15.2 percent of sales, compared to $19.0 million, or 7.8 percent of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in operating income was largely due to the impact of higher sales volume, favorable price/cost dynamics, improved product mix and the absence of manufacturing inefficiencies experienced in the second quarter of the prior year.
Commercial - Commercial segment sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 2.8 percent to $230.0 million due to lower refuse collection vehicle demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the sale of the concrete batch plant business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, offset in part by an increase in concrete mixer volume. Front-discharge concrete mixer volume was low in the prior year second quarter as a result of the ramp-up of production to a new model. Concrete batch plant sales were $6.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
Commercial segment operating income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 132.1 percent to $18.8 million, or 8.2 percent of sales, compared to $8.1 million, or 3.4 percent of sales, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in operating income was primarily due to lower product liability costs, lower spending resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and lower warranty costs.
Corporate - Corporate operating costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased $17.4 million to $41.4 million primarily due to higher incentive compensation accruals, higher healthcare costs and higher share-based compensation expense as a result of the increase in the Company's stock price.
Interest Expense Net of Interest Income - Interest expense net of interest income in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased $9.5 million to $11.2 million. The second quarter of fiscal 2020 included $8.5 million of debt extinguishment costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company's senior notes.
Provision for Income Taxes - The Company recorded income tax expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 of $33.2 million, or 25.0 percent of pre-tax income, compared to $38.3 million, or 35.8 percent of pre-tax income, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Excluding the tax impact of debt extinguishment costs of $2.0 million as well as a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in Europe, adjusted1 income tax expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was $28.9 million, or 25.0 percent of adjusted pre-tax income.
Six-month Results
The Company reported net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2021 of $3.47 billion and net income of $169.1 million, or $2.45 per diluted share. This compares with net sales of $3.49 billion and net income of $144.3 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2020. The improvement in net income for the first six months of fiscal 2021 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2020 was the result of the impact of lower selling, general and administrative costs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the absence of a tax valuation allowance, the absence of debt extinguishment costs, improved investment results and lower intangible asset amortization.
Results for the first six months of fiscal 2021 included after-tax charges of $10.3 million associated with restructuring actions in the Access Equipment segment and $0.8 million associated with business acquisition costs in the Defense segment. Results for the first six months of fiscal 2020 included an after-tax charge of $6.5 million associated with debt extinguishment costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of the Company's senior notes and a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in Europe of $11.4 million. Excluding these charges, adjusted1 net income was $180.2 million, or $2.61 per diluted share, and $162.2 million, or $2.35 per diluted share for the first six months of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Fiscal 2021 Expectations
The Company announced its fiscal 2021 diluted earnings per share estimate range of $6.10 to $6.60 (adjusted earnings per share of $6.35 to $6.85) on projected net sales between $7.75 billion and $7.95 billion. These estimates reflect estimated operating income between $592.5 million and $637.5 million (adjusted operating income of between $610 million and $655 million). Management intends to provide additional guidance, including by segment, on the conference call later today.
Dividend Announcement
The Company's Board of Directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share of Common Stock. The dividend will be payable on May 28, 2021, to shareholders of record as of May 14, 2021.

Khloe Kardashian confirm tristan & jordyn cheating before maliqa calls her a H*E
Khloe, 34, split up for good with 'love rat' Tristan, 27, on Monday
The TV star had 'found out that the basketball player cheated with a woman'
That woman is reportedly Kylie Jenner's best friend Jordyn Woods, 21
Tristan and Jordyn were 'making out' on Sunday, according to TMZ, with the setting believed to be Tristan's LA home, Hollywood Unlocked then claimed
'Thompson and Woods were all over each other', a source claimed
Thompson tweeted that the report was 'fake news' then quickly deleted the post
Khloe and her best pal Malika appeared to confirm the news in a series on cryptic messages posted beneath a host of news stories
TMZ report that Kylie refused to believe the news but after checking in with partygoers her doubts were expelled and their friendship is now in question
Khloe Kardashian and her best friend Malika Haqq appeared to confirm the shocking cheating scandal surrounding her beau Tristan Thompson and Jordyn Woods.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday evening, the scorned reality star posted a series of cryptic messages while Malika quoted Chris Brown with 'These hoes ain't loyal' in response to the news about Kylie Jenner's best friend Jordyn.
Just hours before, Khloe, 34, was pictured out for the first time since allegedly dumping Tristan as she was seen arriving at Kanye West's Calabasas studio, while joined by her sister Kourtney, who also worked out with her that morning.
Khloe was dressed all in white and even managed a smile, despite sources revealing she was left 'completely devastated' when she first discovered details about the alleged betrayal on Monday.
The 27-year-old NBA player had reportedly hooked up with Woods, 21, at a house party on Sunday, according to TMZ. Insiders revealed to the site: 'Tristan and Jordyn were all over each other making out'.
She then commented beneath a meme regarding Kylie ejecting Jordyn from her house: 'These hoes ain't loyal'.
TMZ later reported that Kylie's friendship with Jordyn has been called in to question as she refused to believe the news at first but after checking in with partygoers her doubts were expelled and she is now torn with what to do.
When news first came out, an insider said: 'Everyone was just hanging out, smoking Hookah and drinking when they were instructed to stop all use of cell phones or leave.'
It's not unusual for phones to be confiscated while at the party with high-profile people. However, the vibe was chill and nobody was really checking for security until later in the night.
'Once partygoers put their phones away, Kylie Jenner's best friend Jordyn Woods arrived to the late-night kickback. Thompson and Woods were all over each other, and, it wasn't just "friendly." They couldn't keep their hands off of each other.'
The source added: 'When partygoers asked to use their phone, they were told that they may as well leave if they needed to do so as Jordyn wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. Jordyn didn't leave the party until the early hours of 7 a.m.'

Roj Khordad Mah Sherevar, 1378 Yz.
We have seen in the earlier post that attending the Paidust is more of a spiritual responsibility rather than a social chore. After examining the correct attire for a Paidust let us now proceed further.
The Dungerwadi premises comprise of a number of Bunglis or small bungalow cottages where the four days' ceremonies of Parsis are performed. After ascertaining which Bungli is hosting the prayers for the deceased person concerned, Parsi attendees to the Paidust should go up near the Bungli gate where they will observe a small tank of water and an attached basis or open pit just outside the gate. Use this water to wash the covered parts of the body – the hands, the face and neck and dry the same. Standing in such a position as to face the Sun and ensuring that no person can pass about 9 feet in front of you, start reciting the Kem Na Mazda prayer. On completing the prayer, untie the Kusti from the waist and begin the recitation of the Hormazd Khodae prayer, tying the front and back knots of the Kusti as per procedure. Then finish the recitation of the Jasa Me Avangahe Mazda prayer. While performing this Kusti two thoughts should be passed through the mind.
May the performance of this Kusti clean my aura of any impurities it may have accumulated since the last Kusti.
May this performance help the Ruvan (soul) of Mr. X (name of the deceased) attain the protection of Sarosh Yazad in its onward journey.
It is only after performing the Kusti that one should enter the Bungli. It is important to note that once the body of the deceased is placed on the stone slabs of the Bungli and the Sachkar ceremony is performed, the Bungli acquires the temporary status of a consecrated area and hence all rules which apply to the conduct of oneself in an Agiary also apply to the Bungli.
It is pertinent to bear in mind that the Ruvan of the person has now left the body and is sitting beside the head of the body, where a specially lit lamp is placed and kept burning for all the four days. The body itself is now merely a shell, which has started decomposing. This process of physical decomposition also attracts a negative spirit called Druj Nasu – the demoness of pollution. This attack of both physical and spiritual pollution is harmful to the Ruvan of the person which is sitting nearby. The beneficent chants of the Avesta being recited by the priests or by relatives helps in keeping the Ruvan safe from the Druj Nasu. Even the Kusti Manthras recited by each attendee to the Paidust help in fortifying the soul for its long onward journey. It is thus the responsibility of every Parsi who attends the Paidust to follow the steps mentioned above as his or her personal contribution to the welfare of the soul of the deceased.
After paying respects to the deceased, the relatives should be met quietly and discreetly, at some distance away from where the body is placed. At no point of time should there be any loud talk in the Bungli or the ringing of mobile phones, with each ring tone worse than the other. The only sound in the Bungli should be the recitation of the prayers by either the priest or by a any relative of the deceased. It is extremely harmful for the dead body to be left unattended at ANY TIME during this period. Relatives should take short 30 minute turns to recite ANY prayers from the Khordeh Avesta books available in the Bungli. What is important is the creation of the vibrations of the Avesta Manthras which will protect the Ruvan.
After meeting the relatives and any other acquaintances, one should take a seat and softly start reciting the Sarosh Baj prayer. If the prayer is not known by heart, there are a number of prayer books kept in each Bungli, in both Gujarati and English which can be used. Somewhere in the middle of the prayer, the Kem Na Mazda is to be recited. This recitation should go on till the words 'Astavaitish Ashahe'. The next sentence 'Nemascha ya Armatish Izacha' should NOT be recited. This recitation of half the Sarosh Baj is technically known as "Taking the Baj". The remaining part of this prayer will be finished much later, after the body has been consigned to the Towers of Silence. That recitation is known as "Putting/Finishing the Baj", which we will discuss later. The important thing to remember now is that one is "in Baj", that is, one has started the recitation of a sacred Avesta Manthra. Now until that Manthra is finished, NO OTHER WORDS (except specific Avesta) can come out of our mouth, or the Baj is said to be "Broken".
After "taking" the Baj of Sarosh, there are two options. Either one can sit in complete silence and pass thoughts through the mind for the soul of the deceased, or in a soft tone one can continuously recite the Ashem Vohu prayer. Another better option is to sit with the Khordeh Avesta book open so that a curious friend does not try to interrupt and talk with you, thereby nullifying and breaking your Baj.
Soon the Nassehsalars will come in with the iron bier (called Gehan) and sit down next to the body and begin reciting some prayers. If you hear carefully you will observe that they are also "taking" the Baj of Sarosh. Immediately thereafter, the two priests who will perform the actual 'Paidust' or Geh Sarna ceremony come up to the door of the Bungli and after bowing down in respect to the departed soul, they will themselves start with "taking" the Baj of Sarosh and thereafter start the recitation of the Ahunavaiti Gatha, which is the main part of the Geh Sarna ritual.
We will discuss the further steps in our next post.
We are blessed to be enlightened by you. After completeing almost 3 decades of my life i didnt know the significance or the correct manner as you have detailed above.
My humble request shall always be to have more and more of such knowlegable articles from you, so that we learn and inbibe a better way of life.
Lastly, i feel in the second para, where you have mentioned washing of hand, face & neck, you mean the uncovered parts and not covered as stated above.
Thanks very much Ervad Saheb for educating me apropos the Paidust rituals.
You have very nicely described the procedure for ' taking the baj ' & ' leaving the baj ' in part 2 & 3, for people who go up with the ravaan.
Can you pl tell us what is the sequence of prayers for people who do not go up with the ruvaan ?
How do they 'Leave the baj ' ?
Do they also have to take a bath before resuming normal lifework ?
Good question! For those who do not accomany the Paidust to the Dokhma, they should leave the Baj after paying the last respects to the body just before it is carried out of the Bungli. After leaving the Baj, they should perform the Padyab and then the Kusti in the pavilion outside. If they have not gone very close to the body and have not followed the body as it is carried away, there is no need for taking a bath. They can proceed to work directly.

Americans Worry Less About Government Regulation
by Jim Norman
Percentage saying "too much" regulation is at 39%, lowest since 2008
Republicans growing less likely to say there is too much regulation
Democrats becoming more likely to say more regulation needed
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Thirty-nine percent of Americans believe there is too much government regulation of business and industry, the lowest level in a decade. A third (33%) say there is the right amount of regulation, the highest percentage in 11 years, and a quarter (25%) say there is too little.
The drop in the number who think there is too much regulation is occurring as President Donald Trump continues his drive to roll back federal regulations -- a key promise of his 2016 campaign. Trump has boasted of the success of his efforts, including his disputed claim earlier this year that "No president has ever cut so many regulations in their entire term … as we have cut in less than a year."
A major target of the cuts has been regulations put into place by Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, including key changes on environmental, financial and civil rights issues. The percentage of Americans saying there is "too much regulation" rose from an average 37% over the eight years of George W. Bush's presidency (2001-2008) to an average 48% for Obama's eight years in office (2009-2016). The transition to Trump did not change attitudes much in his first year as president -- from 47% saying "too much regulation" in 2016 to 45% in 2017. This year, the change was more pronounced -- a six-percentage-point drop to 39%.
The pattern has been somewhat different for those who hold the opposite opinion -- that there is too little regulation. The 25% who now say there is too little is only one point above the average of 24% for the Obama presidency. Most of the change since Obama left office has occurred in the percentage saying there is the right amount of regulation, now at 33% -- up from an average 25% under Obama.
The question is included in Gallup's Governance poll, which since 2001 has annually measured the public's views on the role of government and how well federal, state and local governments are performing. This year it was conducted Sept. 4-12.
Fewer Republicans Say "Too Much" Regulation, More Democrats Say "Too Little"
Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican Party are driving the decline in the number of Americans thinking the government regulates business and industry too much. While the percentage of Democrats and Democratic leaners saying there is too much regulation has hardly changed since Trump took office in January 2017, the percentage of Republicans has dropped from 74% in 2016 to 57% now. Conversely, while the percentage of Republicans thinking there is too little regulation has stayed about the same over the past three years, the percentage of Democrats and Democratic leaners saying this has risen from 34% in 2016 to 42% now.
Smaller Majority This Year Thinks Federal Government Too Powerful
In response to a related question on the same Gallup Governance poll, a slight majority (53%) of Americans think the federal government has too much power, down from 60% in 2015 and 55% last year. When Gallup first asked the question in September 2002, one year after the 9/11 attacks that left the nation rallying around government leaders and institutions, Americans were more likely to say the federal government had about the right amount of power (52%) than to say it had too much power (39%). By 2005, the number saying "too much power" had grown to 50%, and it has been at or above 50% in every year since. The percentage believing the federal government has too much power peaked at 60% in 2013 and 2015.
Democrats and Democratic leaners were more likely to think the federal government had about the right amount of power (49%) in 2016 than to think it had too much power (36%). Now a larger percentage say it has too much power (47%) than that it has about the right amount (41%). Among Republicans and leaners, the percentage saying "too much power" has shrunk significantly -- from 82% in 2016 to 57% now.
As Trump continues to push forward with his program to reduce federal regulations, now well into its second year, Americans have become less likely to perceive a regulatory burden. Considerably fewer Americans think there is too much government regulation of business and industry than felt that way during the Obama presidency, and the percentage of Americans saying the nation has about the right amount of government regulations has climbed a few points.
However, there is a burgeoning movement within the Democratic Party to expand government's role in a way that would inevitably bring more regulations, and Democrats have become more receptive over the past two years to the idea that more regulations are needed. With Trump and other Republican leaders arguing that winnowing down regulations will boost the economy, while prominent Democrats such as Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren contend that Americans need the government to protect them through such regulations, the stage is set for an ongoing series of battles that will most likely extend through the 2020 presidential campaign.

I'm not saying you should, but you will have to do it sooner or later.
How do the circles of distortion work?


The inner end of Whale Cove is defined by an immense barrier bar, separating the lagoonal barachois from open waters of the bay. Walking along the bar on an unseasonally hot summer day, you are struck by the fact that many of its constituent stones are geologically rather similar. Unlike some beaches elsewhere on Grand Manan, which contain a great diversity of rock types, the bar is largely composed of pebbles and cobbles of basalt.
The source of much of the basalt in the Whale Cove bar is easily determined. Northward, either side of the bay's mouth is lined with cliffs. Ashburton Head on the western horizon is particularly impressive, and in front of it are the layered flows of the Seven Days Work. Basalt, almost as far as the eye can see! These rocks are all part of the uppermost Triassic Dark Harbour Basalt.
Layered basalts form the Seven Days Work, with Ashburton Head on the horizon.
Much of the basalt in the bar is of a mid grey colour. Wet stones by the sea look black, but in the midday sun the round cobbles higher on the bar are bright and pale. The beachcomber's eye is drawn to any that stand out from the background grey: each occasional piece of white quartz or pink granite is picked up and examined.
Visiting Whale Cove last summer, we stumbled upon a couple of striking black stones. These are still basalt, but they are much deeper in colour than the thousands of rounded basaltic clasts that surround them, and they seem to take a finer, smoother polish.
The geologist in me asks where these different stones might have come from. The obvious answer is that they were derived from one of the many layered lava flows in the Grand Manan area, such as those that make up the Seven Days' Work. But what if it isn't that simple? What if they came from somewhere entirely different?
The dark stone on the left is quite different from the more typical Grand Manan basalt on the right.
Let's digress for a moment. The determination of provenance, the source of any geological material that is no longer connected to bedrock, is often difficult. In the case of Whale Cove I was merely curious about where the different basalts may have come from, but there are many instances where determining the provenance of transported materials might tell us where an unusual fossil deposit is located, or it might help us to find a rich diamond pipe.
It is easy to assume that the obvious answer is the correct one, but that is how mistakes can be readily made. Once, doing research along the shore of Hudson Bay near Churchill, we found a lovely horn coral in a loose cobble, a fossil that was different from those in the nearby bedrock. The cobble's colour and texture were similar to those of the bedrock, and we were excited to add this species to our list of what occurred there.
But then it clicked: this fossil was substantially older than those we were collecting at Churchill, and had in fact been originally located on Southampton Island or somewhere else far to the north. Its cobble had been transported to the Churchill area by the Ice Age glaciers, leaving it in a place where it could be incorporated into a beach where most other stones were more local in origin.
And so it might be for the dark stones at Whale Cove. Maybe they were moved there from somewhere far to the north, since New Brunswick was also glaciated. Or maybe large waves had transported them from somewhere offshore; certainly there is very good evidence of storm waves that would have the power to do this.
There is a third possibility that is quite intriguing. Ashburton Head is so named because the barque Lord Ashburton was wrecked there in 1857. This was a terrible tragedy: the ship was driven onto the rocks by hurricane-force winds, with the loss of 21 lives. The Lord Ashburton had previously been an immigrant ship, transporting people to many different parts of the world.
Sailing ships carried a load of ballast stone in their hulls, to counteract the force of the sails, and dense rock such as basalt was generally selected. It so happens that the Lord Ashburton carried dark stones as ballast, and these can be found in the beach at Eel Brook Cove, by Ashburton Head. That cove is only 2.5 kilometres along a straight shore from Whale Cove, and it is entirely possible that waves and currents have transported some of the stones over that distance in the 157 years since the ship was wrecked.
The dead from the wreck of the Lord Ashburton were buried in the cemetery at North Head, Grand Manan Island.
If the stones did come from the Lord Ashburton, then that would just make the provenance question more complicated, rather than answering it. If they were ballast on the ship, then maybe they were picked up on a voyage to some far corner of the world, perhaps in Australia or the Mediterranean or Ireland. It would be a bit more prosaic if they were part of its original ballast, however. The ship was built in St. Andrews, NB, and by coincidence, after travelling all over the world it was wrecked just 40 kilometres from its birthplace (and there are also basalts in the St. Andrews area!).
I'm sure this whole question could be readily answered if I was prepared to grind up the stones and subject them to a bit of modern geochemistry, but isn't it better just to contemplate them on our Winnipeg windowsill, intact and intriguing?
The post has been corrected to reflect Greg's newer information on the age and formation of the basalts. It is nice to think that one might find pieces of Lord Ashburton ballast along that shore, even if my stones are unlikely to have that source. I will have to go back to Grand Manan very soon!
← What You See is What You Get. Sometimes.
This is a very interesting and useful post. It is sometimes very difficult to determine the origin of pebbles on a beach because of events like glaciation and sea transport. Ship's ballast was one phenomenon I hadn't considered. I visited Whale Cove too last summer and examined the pebbles there.
Thank you, Jessica. I know you have some fabulous coastlines in Britain; I hope you found Fundy different enough that the trip was worthwhile!
Fascinating story and I love the sleuthing involved in determining the origins of the fine-grained black basalt. History gets thrown in too! Thanks for the vicarious travel.
Kate, many thanks for your kind thoughts.
In 1843 my great-great-grandfather and his family immigrated to New York in the Lord Ashburton. His son noted the wreck in his farm journal; by then the family was settled in Brantford, Ontario. Not only stones are displaced! Your beach has this story for me.
I always enjoy your articles — many thanks.
Barbara, it is great to read about that sort of connection. There was so much interesting migration of various sorts in the 19th century, and I guess that the Lord Ashburton was involved in quite a few of those stories. Thank you for your comment.
Once again you fascinate me during your travels! first question that comes to me is can the same basalt be found across the pond? And would that determine the position of Laurasia relative to Pangea during Jurassic times? Such questions were pondered by Hutton,Lyell, and Wegener so many years ago. Simply fascinating!
Hi Brian, I am far from expert on Mesozoic paleogeography, but it is my understanding that the Fundy basalts were formed during the rifting as Pangea pulled apart. Fundy was just one of the unsuccessful rift basins, and the main rifting took place to the south and east. So there are quite a few basalts around the Atlantic that are the same sort of age, but they would not be identical.
Those are some very lovely pictures for me. Especially because in India, I haven't yet gone to any pebble beach and doubt if there is one. I agree that amdist the grey pebbles…anything different would for sure is eye catchy and be a part of beachcombers collection.
Raastha, thank you for your kind comments. Good luck with your beachcombing!
Hi Graham, this is an excellent blog and I am happy to find it! New names were recently assigned to the Mesozoic formations of Grand Manan, and we had to replace Grand Manan Basalt because the Grand Manan name had already been used, so it is now Dark Harbour Basalt. And now latest Triassic, as the Tr-J boundary has been moved from strata just below to just above the basalt. A nearly (but not exactly) identical basalt is found in Morocco, and separated from Atlantic Canada when the new Atlantic Ocean split this section of Pangaea apart.
Hi Greg, Many thanks for your comments! I guess I should have run those thoughts past you before posting it, but as you know the main thing with a blog is to make people think. As this was well away from my specialty I realized that I was likely to make some errors, but it seemed like such an entertaining idea that I had to put it up there. Thanks for the update on formation names and ages – I will change that in the post. Is it OK with you if I post your comment as an addendum / correction at the end of the piece? I will also try to add a link to your excellent page when I get around to updating the blogroll.
Hi Graham, sure, what ever will be helpful. Grand Manan is basalt heaven for a geologist of my interests.
Thanks Greg. I can certainly understand that – from my perspective, Grand Manan is a perfect place except that it almost lacks fossils!
'dark stone on the left' looks like serpentinite.
Hi Allen, thanks for that idea. We did examine the stone in the lab, and my colleague confirmed my interpretation that it was a basalt, at least sensu lato. However, it would be great to get an expert on that sort of rock to take a really good look at it.
Hi Jane, thank you for the comment. Yes, I think there are endless possibilities for things to examine on Grand Manan!

Electronic music has been on the rise for the past couple of years. With more and more concert goers and listeners, the music industry keeps getting better and better and the sounds keep getting more advanced. Producers are always searching for newer and better software and that's why Ableton has been a staple software for producers like Rezz and many other bass producers for years. Ableton was first created in 2001 when two German computer graduates wanted to enhance their performance on the dub-techno scene. That's when they decided to launch their personal projects into retail software. Now, Ableton Live is the most used software in the entire world for electronic dance music producers. Ableton is loved around the world because it enabled a lot of people to leave their studios/bedrooms and DJ on stage; it started festival culture.
There are two main Ableton tools: Ableton Live and Ableton Push. 2Ableton Live is essentially a "fast, fluid and flexible software for music creating and performances". Live has effects, instruments and sounds that can create any type of music. With Live, you can freely mix and match musical ideas without any constraints. MIDI and audio loops can be played in different lengths and any combinations. While with Ableton Push, it's a powerful, expressive instrument that gives you hands-on control of an unlimited sounds, without the need of a computer.
The masses love to use Ableton because it has a clean and simple design that's easy for anyone to learn. Ableton Live is mostly used because it's designed to have everything detail and information on one screen and for its variety of features to manipulate any sample audio. Back in the day, people had to record real instruments to sound professional; now you can just buy a sample pack and manipulate as you want.

Recently, Ableton released a tutorial series called Learning Music to help new generations educate themselves on the history of music and new music. One of the co-founders of Ableton, Gerhard Behles, gave a presentation looking at the past 40″,000 years of musical development. He showed slides of prehistoric instruments like bone flutes and discussed how newer technology will help artist get their "flow". He argued of how the miniaturization of technology has made it easier for artists to become independent. He also talked about the new definition of the word musician. People refer musicians as music makers, a person who writes their own songs and compose and create their instrumentals. But now, a musician is a new term that comprises of many traditional roles. He also discussed that while technology has made producing music more accessible, that it's no substitute for practice and that children are the future. Ableton has launched a program where they give out free Push instruments and donated them to schools. He believes that the music education in the US is a broken system because only 20 percent of kids have music lessons and everybody else nothing.
Canadian producer and DJ Isabelle Rezazadeh, best known for her on stage name Rezz, is an avid fan and user of Ableton Live. She was first inspired by legend producer Deadmau5 to create her own beats and later on was signed to Mau5trap and OWSLA (Deadmau5 and Skrillex's labels). 1She learned how to create her own beats by watching Ableton tutorials on Youtube. Her most known song "Edge" was produced using Ableton. She is best known for creating a new type of genreless genre that features a lot of dark drops, heavy bass, industrial synths and a bpm of 100. Since then, Rezz has been releasing dark, minimalistic singles, EP's and albums and gaining a lot of traction. She is now inspiring a lot of up and coming DJs and producers to create similar sounds like hers. For example, 1788-L, Whipped Cream, 13, Kotek and many more.

Last year, Rezz was nominated to a Juno Award and won Electronic Album of the Year for her debut album, "Mass Manipulation". Rezz said that her main inspiration for the album title was "the current state of society and how easily some can be manipulated." Her debut album was well received by lots of music critics and fans. Billboard described the album as a "sickly sci-fi journey and a aural exploration. Noiseporn wrote that Rezz had made a sound that nobody has ever heard before, calling Rezz's signature music structure as genius.
Ableton will forever have changed the music industry. Rave culture has changed for the better and now more than ever, people are wanting to learn how to create their own sounds.

According to DistroWatch.com, elementayOS is classified in eighth place as a popular distribution around the world, which is based on Ubuntu LTS.
This distribution has been developed originally by designers, not programmers, their interest was initially focusing on designing distinctive icons for Linux operating system, but the project later expanded to become an independent distribution that has its own applications. elementaryOS development team pays so attention to UI and UX in general.
I will try mainly now to evaluate the usability of this distribution starting from the definition of the concepts of Internal Consistency and External Consistency as described on Algorithmic Usability Measurement article.
Confidently, we can say that this distribution is the forefront in terms of commitment to the Internal Consistency principle. This is due to its commitment to GTK-3 exclusively to build or choose its own applications, ensuring the harmony and consistency between it UIs, aside from the unity of symbols (icons) and the unity of the terms by virtue of its inception from a one single source, which is the distribution development team. However, the multimedia program «Audiance» represents an exception here despite its elegance; its look and feel tweet completely out of tune, and does not at all suggest its belonging to elementaryOS!
However, there is a problem in the distribution with respect to consistency and harmony internally between applications, which is the way to merge window manager with GTK library, some applications are still committed to the traditional way used to display windows, where the window title and the three buttons (close, maximize, and minimize) appear on an independent row (usually called the Title bar), and menu-bar and tool-bar in other two rows below. However, it tries in some other applications to merge the title-bar and tool-bar in a one single bar, just like GNOME-3 applications.
This oscillation between the two methods is considered as a negative point in this distribution. First, in order to adhere to Internal Consistency principle, this distribution should be pursuing a uniform way in this regard, and secondly, in order to adhere to the principle of external consistency, this way should be familiar for users coming from other systems and environments, and this school is no doubt the traditional school.
As for the External Consistency, we must adopt two bases for comparison here, Windows and Mac.
From Mac users' perspective, this distribution follows External Consistency principle, by virtue of the large likened to Mac environment. While Windows users will find it a little bit confusing.
The first thing confused me when I started using this distribution is positioning windows buttons (close, maximize, and minimize) on the left side of the window. Unfortunately, the process of reversing buttons' positions was not that easy, I had first to set an additional repository, and then install the tool «Tweak» from it, and then re-adjust the position of the buttons using it.
Once I succeeded in reversing the buttons positions, the buttons remained; in some places; as is, the close button in Midori browser tabs remained reversed, as well as the properties window of a file or a folder, where the close button "insisted" to remain on the left side of the window. This situation represents a setback in terms of commitment to the principle of Internal Consistency, since the position and the look of the close button must be uniformed everywhere on the system as a whole.
Also, despite the fact that the original version of Midori follows the principle of External Consistency, thanks to the search box appears next to the address bar, like Firefox, elementaryOS developers, unfortunately, hid this box. Although you can restore it, but I prefer to be visible by default.
Finally, the scrolling system used in the previous release was not familiar at all to Windows users, and records a negative score when evaluating its commitment to the principle of External Consistency. The distribution developers made a right decision by abandoning it in this release.
The possibility of opening a file or folder as administrator (Open as administrator).
Feature of files and folders classification using Emblems.
Web browser adopted by a specific operating system as the default web browser plays a key role in shaping the operating system and identity as a whole, and therefore in assessing it, by virtue of the vital role of the browser in today's computing environment. What makes elementaryOS distribution unique is the adoption of a unique browser, and its success and popularity will contribute greatly to the success and popularity of the distribution itself. I wish elementaryOS team could really give this browser more and more attention.
Embed-fonts problem: The technology provided by CSS standards in web browsers, where the browser was not able to display the embedded Arabic characters in the Web fonts properly, also it was not able to display the new Unicode characters that were added in the sixth version of Unicode and beyond. This problem has been remedied in the version supplied by this version of elementaryOS.
The problem of recognizing the proxy settings in the system. It has also been remedied in this release.
Dealing with Login Data (user names and passwords) as cookies, remains if remained, and goes once gone!
There's no option to delete cookies once the browser is closed (cookies at session level only).
Lack of tools for importing/exporting browsing data from/to other popular browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Konqueror), other than bookmarks.
Disability of customizing system theme: There must be an option under System Settings allows switching between several themes.
Disability of the desktop: There must be an option under System Settings allows activating the desktop.
Hiding menu bars: There must be an option under System Settings allows you to reactivate menu bars in all applications.
These three constraints are sufficient to make an impression that you are inside a golden cage!
The lack of the button Show Desktop.
Tab to click option must be enabled by default in mouse settings.
ShotWell program is not free, due to its dependency on Mono library.
The lack of Lyricist field in the music player Music.
When installing this distribution, additional-language files are installed in a silent and mandatory mode. There must be a question asks user for his/her permission before starting this step. Installing additional-language files should be optional. I think it's a generic problem in all distributions based on Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, not all media encoders are installed by default, despite our realizing and understanding the fact the distribution developers are obligated to that decision under the laws of the United States, the country of origin of this distribution.
Finally, I think it's better to repeat each single application's icon on Dock bar as much as the number of instances of its opened window.
If you are an Apple Mac user, you will be grateful to elementaryOS developers for their efforts, but if you are coming from Windows environment, I think you would prefer Linux Mint as a main system, through which you can add elementaryOS repositories and access to its applications from them.

Capturing carbon dioxide to make useful products could become big business
Nature has today published the most comprehensive study to date investigating the potential future scale and cost of ten different ways to utilise CO2, including fuels and chemicals, plastics, building materials, soil management and forestry.
CO2 utilisation has the potential to operate at large scale and at low cost, meaning it could form part of a viable new global industry. If done correctly, using CO2 to create valuable products could help offset the cost of reducing emissions or removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, say a team led by researchers at the University of Oxford.
The team including Professor Pete Smith from the University of Aberdeen, looked at the potential uses for CO2 captured from the burning of fossil fuels or drawn from the atmosphere, or even captured biologically by photosynthesis.
The research found that on average each utilisation pathway could use around 0.5 gigatonnes (billion tonnes) of CO2 per year, and that a top-end scenario could see well over 10 gigatonnes of CO2 utilisation a year at theoretical costs of under $100 per tonne of CO2. However, the potential scale and cost of utilisation pathways varied substantially across sectors, reflecting high levels of uncertainty about the future.
Dr Ella Adlen, researcher at the Oxford Martin School and one of the paper's lead authors said: "The paper is cautiously optimistic.
"At the top end, our assessments show that significant volumes of CO2 could be utilised, and at low cost. Done correctly, different CO2 utilisation pathways could help store CO2, or help displace fossil fuel emissions, on the gigatonne scale. But, without significant investment in both research and industry, these pathways will not scale in the time that we have left to fix the climate. And just as importantly, the impacts these pathways will actually have on the climate can be very difficult to work out."
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees with little or no overshoot will require the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere on the order of 100–1000 gigatonnes of CO2 over the 21st century. Currently, fossil CO2 emissions continue to grow by over 1% annually and reached a record high of 37 gigatonnes of CO2 in 2018.
"Greenhouse gas removal (GGR) is essential to achieve net zero carbon emissions and stabilise the climate. We haven't reduced our emissions fast enough, so now we also need to start pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere" explained Professor Cameron Hepburn, Director of the Oxford Smith School of Enterprise and Environment. "Governments and corporations are moving on this, but not quickly enough. The promise of CO2 utilisation is that it could act as an incentive for CO2 removal and could reduce emissions by displacing fossil fuels."
Critical to the success of these new technologies as mitigation strategies will be a careful analysis of their overall impact on climate. "If CO2 utilisation is to contribute meaningfully to climate change mitigation, the first and foremost priority is to decarbonise the energy system within which these industries will be located," said Dr Niall Mac Dowell, Reader in Energy Systems at Imperial College London, "and to avoid adding to the atmospheric stock of carbon, these pathways should use atmospheric CO2 as their feedstock."
'Done well, some of these pathways could represent one-time windows of opportunity,' added Dr Adlen. 'For instance, we are currently living through a wave of global urbanisation: that's a chance to lock away CO2 for the long term through the use of building products made out of either CO2-cement or wood. Other types of CO2 utilisation like enhanced oil recovery, when you use CO2 to increase oil production and then store the CO2, only make sense to use right now, early in the global decarbonisation process. But these pathways need the right regulatory support – and sometimes significant cost reductions too.'
Some CO2 utilisation technologies are likely to see early adoption simply because of their attractive business models: in certain kinds of plastic production, using CO2 as a feedstock is a more profitable and environmentally cleaner production process compared with using conventional hydrocarbons – and can displace up to three times as much CO2 as it uses.
Biological utilisation may present an opportunity to reap co-benefits. Professor of Soils and Global Change at the University of Aberdeen, Pete Smith said: "Some of the most cost-effective ways to utilise CO2 come from land-based pathways like soil management, that lead to yield increases for farmers."
In other areas, utilisation could provide a "better choice" alternative during the global decarbonisation process. One such pathway is the use of CO2-derived fuels, which could potentially find a role in sectors that are harder to decarbonize such as aviation.
The authors stressed that there was no "magic bullet" approach or perfect pathway and that each faces their own unique challenges and not all methods will be effective.
Professor Sir John Beddington, former Government Chief Scientific Adviser,added: "The most important message is that CO2 utilisation is not an end to itself, and the risk of getting it wrong is quite high. But if you do it right, with good governance and collaboration across research, policy and industry, you are tackling one of the key barriers to change, which is the cost of action."

Global economy is "slowly slipping" into Great Depression-like problems of 1930s, RBI governor Raghuram Rajan has warned, asking central banks from across the world to define "rules of the game" to find a solution.
Rajan, who is among the few to have predicted the 2008 financial crisis, said the problem was a "broader" one and for the entire world — not just for industrial countries or emerging markets.
The former IMF chief economist said the situation is different in India on this front and the RBI remains more focussed on bringing down lending rates to spur investments. "We need rules of the game in order to effect a better solution. I think it is time to start debating what should the global rules of the game be on what is allowed in terms of central bank action," he said at a London Business School conference.
"I am not going to venture a guess as to how we establish new rules of the game. It has to be international discussion, international consensus built over time after much research and action," governor Rajan said.
"But I do worry that we are slowly slipping into the kind of problems that we had in the thirties in attempts to activate growth. And, I think it's a problem for the world. It's not just a problem for the industrial countries or emerging markets, now it's a broader game," he observed.
The Great Depression refers to a period of severe global economic downturn in the early 1930s, which had affected almost all countries across the world.
It started in 1929 and continued till late 1930s.

Novell views AppArmor  as an easily configurable but effective protection system for Linux. According to the vendor, AppArmor competes with SE Linux, which has been part of the Suse distribution for quite a while now, although lacking the policies needed to run it. Whereas SE Linux is comparatively difficult to configure, but implements comprehensive MACs (Mandatory Access Control), AppArmor focuses on restricting the scope of individual applications. The Task It is an unfortunate fact that many programs suffer from bugs, and web applications are particularly badly hit. Most software is not coded by security specialists, though it may be publicly accessible via the web, and this makes it an easy target for attackers. If an attacker finds a programming error in an application, they can typically exploit the error, thus gaining access to the target system.
Two years after acquiring the company that developed AppArmor Novell has dismissed the developer behind the security technology.


availability of internet, even a kid can inform one that to gain access to some facilities on the internet; one has to utilize the services of a website. Online sports betting isn't any exception to this rule. Online sports betting sites are a must and necessity for someone interested in the profession of sports betting. One can also practice the primitive on-field betting sites thus excluding the betting sites, but with modern day living nobody has the time and energy to undertake it. So, it has expanded the business of sports betting sites and they've in their turn led to the expansion of the profession.
But, in order to achieve the primary objective of the profession, i.e., earning profits, one has to make a right decision of the betting site. It is because of the increased amount of cheaters in the modern world. There are lots of people within the vast and open internet who would wish to cheat other people to make some cash. You have to remain protected against these thugs in order to turn the investment into profit. So, one has to be really careful with regards to choosing betting sites.
Another component that stresses upon the significance of choosing a good sports betting website is that sports betting sites really are a persons one and only partner in the profession. Although various friends and experts can provide a person many useful tips there is nothing that will help a beginner just like a betting site. This might be since they're the ones that proceed all the transactions on the web and a person has to use it for online sports betting. So, it is extremely clear that choosing the correct betting website is essential in the profession.
There might be many factors influencing a persons choice of horse betting sites. The foremost will be a good winning percentage. This game is about getting profits and that can only happen when a person is winning. Therefore, the winning percentage of the betting website is very important. One can check out various forums and newsgroups to look at reviews by different users. Second factor could be betting around the correct games.
There are a few games that give more payouts than the others. So, it really is more profitable to bet on these games compared to normal games. They are normally games influenced by a heavy lineup and tough competition. Third factor is really a money-back guarantee. The website that one is associated ought to provide this facility so that the bettor feels secure and may get the money when he desires to withdraw from the sites services. The final influencing factor should be the guidelines on the betting system. Each website has different rules and regulations that one must follow. So, before investing, one need to ensure that one can comfortably follow those rules.
