The Interactive Gaming Council have developed a distinction for advocating safety, fairness and also plausibility through the criteria it demands, and its appeal to concerns of high ethics. The IGC governs overseas betting by advocating an original ten-point code of practise and in addition charges gaming internet sites a license fee to show the council’s logo.

Inexperienced Contractors can Attract Law Suits, Employers Warned

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Employers cannot ignore their responsibilities towards the health and safety of the independent contractors they employ. Furthermore, if the independent contractor is controlled by the company in the actions he takes, the company will be liable for any injury caused by him to any third party in the course of employment.

Therefore, the companies have been making a great mistake in taking into employment contractors without required know how and education in order to save money. They have not paid much attention to the experience of the contractors. This can especially be dangerous if they have been contracted for jobs, which involves works like construction and heavy machinery operations. This is what Mace & Jones, a reputed legal firm is advising.

Personal Injury Expert of Mace & Jones, Mr. Jeremy Bradshaw, suggested that employees should keep their workers, including contractors, updated regarding safety measures. They should hold meetings and workshops to provide information for the same as close communication with the workers is very important in ensuring safety. He emphasised on this point by saying that the failure to do so could amount to putting their workers under threat of mishaps.

He also said that before a contractor is engaged, it is important to estimate the risk involved in doing so. It will be better to check the credentials and past records of the contractors to know if it will be safe to engage them. If the records of the contractor are suspected to be understated, special attention should be paid to finding out the correct data.

Employing wrong people can be dangerous for the company. Contractors are usually appointed to save expenses. However, if the contractors are not good at what they do, they will not only adversely affect their own safety and wellbeing, but that of other workers too.

Avoid unexpected accidents by making sure staff and contractors are properly trained by the experts at Workplace Law. Find out more about their well regarded nebosh distance learning courses.

2 Moms and a War

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009

“No mother would ever willingly sacrifice her sons for territorial gain, for economic advantage, for ideology.”
- Ronald Reagan

One would think that Reagan’s remarks left little room for a mother to tolerate the death of her son in a “war of choice”. Furthermore, based upon his words, one would think that he would wholeheartedly support the inquiries and protest of the mother of a soldier who died in a war based on malleable and questionable rationales.

One would think so… that is, if one chose to think.

For Reagan’s alleged “conservative” disciples, the opposite seems to be true. Because Cindy Sheehan has not accepted an illusory WMD threat, Bin Laden links, spreading freedom and an emancipation of women (Islamic fundamentalist style on both), or any of the other multiple reasons given her, and the country, for her son’s death in Iraq, they seem to feel that she has forfeited her right to speak and/or protest on the matter. It seems to be a clash of values between the “neo- cons” (new cons) and the old cons.

In support of their position, today’s “conservatives”, among other things, have said that she is/has:

“… hurting our troops and endangering our troops; an anti-Semite; hateful; in bed with the radical left; aligned herself with people who hate this country, hate this government; shamed her son by her comments; trying to pull a little bit of a swindle and been totally co-opted by the whole Michael Moore leftist mentality; exploiting death; engaging in Stalinist agitprop outside President Bush’s Crawford ranch; supported by hysterical paranoid ideologist[s] who have turned the “Camp Casey” protest into “Camp Fruitbat and Nutbag.”

And, as one of FOX’s Sans-A-Belt(way) Boys said, she’s “a crackpot”.

Such are the comments and “keen insight” offered by the most well-known and visible members of modern conservatism who believe in, among other things, “family values”, Christianity, Intelligent Design, Pat Robertson, the flag, prayer in schools, privatization of Social Security, Abu Ghraib style “hazing”, a $223 million “Bridge to Nowhere” in Alaska funded by the Transportation Bill, Supplemental (offline- therefore not counted in the budget) spending for an ongoing war, and are against, among other things, the obscenity that is a peek at Janet Jackson’s breast, the immorality of “Will and Grace”, and the “Communism/Socialism/Liberalism” of those that want to implement a living wage and Universal Health Care.

It seems, according to the media and highly paid pundits who know a thing or two about war (having successfully evaded it in their youth), that she’s the only mother truly questioning the war. Since they insist that her opinion has been proven worthless through the widely accepted methods of demonizing, guilt by association, and rumor, all of which were subsequently verified by relentless repetition, perhaps one should turn to the one mother painted with the “conservative” brush of all that is good about America- Barbara Bush.

She has not only raised one son who occupies the Oval Office, she is married to a man who once occupied the Oval Office himself. She also has another son who is Governor of a large state that helped get her son George into the position he currently occupies and from which the Iraq war was started. Just a “typical” mom. As such, surely her opinion on casualties is worth taking note of when discussing the war her son started and Cindy Sheehan’s son died in:

“But why should we hear about body bags, and deaths, and how many, what day it’s gonna happen, and how many this or what do you suppose? Or, I mean, it’s, it’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?”
- Barbara Bush, Good Morning America – March 18, 2003

So it’s the opinion of a “beautiful mind” that it should not be wasted on thoughts about body bags and deaths against the opinion of a tortured mind that answers are required for the body bags and deaths. “What… me worry?” versus “What is the reason?”

Since Cindy Sheehan’s voice is in direct competition with a phalanx of paid for professional barkers attempting to drown her out and consign her to irrelevancy, in the interests of fairness, one ahould take a look at what the sons say about the war and its casualties. George Bush’s own words on the subject are:

“…I think it’s also important for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life… I think the people want the president to be in a position to make good, crisp decisions and to stay healthy… and part of my being is to be outside exercising.”
- George Bush, vacationing in Crawford, Texas – August 13, 2005

Unfortunately, Casey Sheehan could not be reached for comment.

So it’s exercise and “getting on with life” against no exercise possible as there is no more life. “What.. me worry?” versus deathly silence.

The Bushes. Caring. Compassionate. “Real” Americans. Just “down home folks” (be it in Crawford, Kennebunkport, Camp David, or some Saudi King’s or Prince’s grand estate). The type of people worth having a beer with – after undergoing a thorough backgound check and subject to Secret Service approval.

As to the assault on Cindy Sheenan and her right to voice her opinion in any non-violent manner she chooses, the Administration and its backers seem to be attempting to prevail using their tired WWF-like verbal “smackdowns” in order to silence opposition and/or manufacture consent.

It is highly doubtful that either Casey Sheehan or the “Gipper” would stand for the silencing of anyone’s right to voice their opposition to this war. Especially the voice of a mother.

Pass Any Drug Test

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Is it feasible to pass any drug test?

No, but this only a small part of the story. If you’re interested in the dark side of the drug testing industry, keep reading. employees in the allied health care travel job field.

Pass Any Blood Drug Test?

Forget about it. Blood drug tests are ran through a highly sophistocated GC/MS arrangement that cannot be defeated by real ways.

Pass Any Hair Drug Test>

Read all about it! Hair drug testing is new, but it’s quite feasible to pass any drug test under its veil. There are many OTC, legal dietary supplement shampoos that are available online, such as Spectrum Labs GET CLEAN, and Detoxify brand ROOT CLEAN. You know what else works? Nexus shampoo. Yep, a regular shampoo will do the same thing, but I’d play it safe and go with the commercial products with a proven track record. The average cost is about forty bucks.

Pass Any Urine Drug Test?

Passing a urine drug test is at the helm of the detoxification industry. Urine drug tests can be thwarted through drinks, pills like Acai berry, additives, and even synthetic human urine! Synthetic human urine is wholly undetectable except for situations where the drug tests are controlled by the tester. Such drug tests are lawful, and any attempt to defraud the test is against the law, so don’t even think about it.

Passing a drug test, any drug test, is possible, but remember, the best advice is to not use drugs at all. A potential issue is receiving second hand toxins, but I shouldn’t worry too much about it.

University Scholarships for Left Handed Students

Sunday, May 24th, 2009

Visit and go to this detailed web site for aim high with tall scholarships suggestions!

Finding a way to finance a college education may be problematic and may certainly need time. University scholarships are unlike a student loan in that they are a grant for education, and therefore, repayment isn’t necessary. As you look for ways of funding your university instruction, be conscious that funds are accessible at really unusual spots, for example left-hander grants. Lefty Scholarships: — A southpaw scholarship may seem out of the ordinary, but it’s worth looking at these facts: Bill Gates is a left hander, as is Barack Obama. Raphael, Da Vinci, Ringo Starr and Charlie Chaplin were lefties as well. Approximately 11% of the global population are left-handed. Frequently considered to be more artistic and to have a higher IQ, lefthanders have often suffered from discrimination. Stigmatisation is not an issue any longer, left-handers are no longer thought of as odd, in fact they may even be linked with the many great individuals named above.

Should you be a southpaw and searching for scholarships for lefthanded students, a lot of left-handed scholarships exist which you may be able to receive. The Frederick and Mary F. Beckley Scholarship for anything up to $1,000 is available at Juniata College stuated in Huntington, PA. Awarded to scholars of Juniata College and founded in the seventies, this particular grant has helped over forty students obtain their college degree. Whilst you are looking for scholarships, do be mindful that a few grants have prerequisites or limitations. This may include grades and financial needs. Do apply for as many school scholarships as achievable to give you a greater probabilty of supporting your university degree incurring a minimal level of debt. Clubs, hobby related groups and local organizations can be a source of college scholarships. Southpaw scholarships are not a unusual example; money is accessible in other instances such as to the individuals from military families or if you are disabled in any way. Looking for scholarships can take a little time, of course the return may be enormous. Any debt generated by a university education can be diminished by such scholarships utilised in conjunction a standard student loan. Be extremely thorough in searching all opportunities. Remember the other choices as well as lefty bursaries — be imaginative! Try for everything you might possibly qualify for, keeping your academic debt to a minimum, and you’ll look forward to a more positive economic future after graduation.

Iranian Elections – Roadmap To Continued Apathy

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

The recent first round of the Iranian elections somewhat resembled the rise to power of the promising Mohammed Khatami first time round in 1999. But despite the break from apathy seen over recent elections, the liveliness does not bode anywhere near the same promise that Khatami managed to swirl up six years ago. There’s been discouraging controversy and intrigue surrounding the running of the main reformist candidate Mostafa Moin and the last minute participation of Hashemi Rafsanjani also brought zest to the process. Rafsanjani is tipped to win however simply because most people believe he holds the most sway over the country’s real ruler, the supreme Ayatollah Ali Khameini, who shows no signs of letting go of his power.

Political lethargy is rife in Iran and turns into cynicism at election times. But despite people’s disappointment with politics, the country is heading for tough times, both economically and politically. Outside observers say that the closest the population is likely to get to civil disobedience is by staying away from the polls. Which is likely the scenario that’s going to prevail on election day, or ‘fate day’ as the incumbent rulers are televising the elections in a bid to reinvigorate the political landscape they have managed to successfully stifle for the last two terms of Khatami’s rule.

Whether there’s life in the old dog yet remains to be seen still. Politics and daily life have started to diverge beyond what’s been seen since the 1979 overthrow of the Shah. For ordinary Iranians, the country’s economy is the biggest worry and any attempts made to kickstart job creation efforts are followed with eagle eyes by the young population which has a high umemployment rate.

Iran’s economy outside oil is extremely weak and despite high oil prices, which pay for half the country’s spending, finances are in turmoil. Official estimates showed recently that the economy is now down 1.9% on the previous fiscal year ended March. Growth of 4.8% has been achieved in 2004/2005, compared to the previous year’s 6.7%.

Iran is the second most important player in the Organization of Oil Producing and Exporting Countries (OPEC) and has around 10 percent of the world’s proven oil reserves as well as the world’s second largest natural gas reserves. The recent high oil prices have boosted its oil revenues, which make up some 90% of its total exports and just under half the country’s public expenditure.

The departure of Mohammad Khatami, who has ruled the country for two successive eras and can’t stay on for a third term because the constitution does not allow this, is a bummer for many. Khatami himself is tired and a living advertisement for boycotting the polls, say observers. The hardline rulers, who convene in the so called Guardian Council have shown who’s boss in a vigorous way during his reign and anyone fit to step in his shoes won’t easily be envied as the conservatives on the council are sworn to continue their conservative ways.

The very fact that the election contest is dominated by Rafsanjani highlights to many the undeniable reality that there simply is no way anyone with new ideas can tackle the Khamenei’s faction. Over the last decade, Khamenei, the mullahs’ supreme leader, systematically has created a situation in which all rival politicians are sidelined in the Majlis (parliament), both through the Guardians Council and through suspected political killings, which took place during the previous presidency of Rasanjani.

Rafsanjani’s not expected to show the same resistance to the Council’s stranglehold as Khatami did when he set out in 1999. The way Khatami’s enthusiastic spirit was crunched by the hardliners in the Council led to illusionist politics that were no more than a sham, some say. The Council’s recent dealings with Mr Moin show that they have no plans to discontinue this style of governing.

Whoever wins the elections is still likely to end up a puppet on a string, pulled by Khamenei and the other conservatives. The outcome of the elections is likely a win for Rafsanjani. Mr Moin’s ratings haven’t been overwhelming and he’s not been able to shed the dull image attached to him, Mohammed Ghalibaf, the former police officer that’s running on behalf of the conservatives, is likely to score little too. Other hardliners Ali Larijani, Mahmud Ahmadi Nejad and Mohsen Rezai. The only moderate aside from Rafsanjani and Moin is the former parliament speaker Mehdi Karoubi, who’s not believed to be very popular despite his strong criticism of the Guardian Council for bein unfair to the politicians who have ‘done nothing but honestly serve the country’.

Whoever wins, Iran’s new president is unlikely to have much influence over the country’s main direction. Issues like the nuclear program and the economy are largely decided by the conservative establishment.

American intelligence, self-professed wobbly, indicates that the supreme leader is the only person in the country that decides on the nuclear issue. Official US Iran data dates back to 2001, but it is being updated and a new report by the National Intelligence Council, a CIA branch, is expected this spring. The CIA director Porter J. Goss said in a speech recently however that the CIA takes the spokesman of Iran’s Supreme Council for National Security very serious, who publicly announced that Iran would never scrap its nuclear program on many occasions.

The CIA also believes that previous comments by Iranian officials, including Iran’s Supreme Leader and the Foreign Minister, have indicated that Iran would not give up its ability to enrich uranium. “Certainly they can use it to produce fuel for power reactors. We are more concerned about the dual-use nature of the technology that could also be used to achieve a nuclear weapon”, said Goss.

The CIA chief also expressed concern over the so called controversial ‘black box’ invention that made news headlines a few months ago. Goss said that this indicates that Iran in parallel with its nuclear program, continues its pursuit of long-range ballistic missiles, such as an improved version of its 1,300 km range Shahab-3 MRBM, to add to the hundreds of short-range SCUD missiles it already has.

Shooting Around Corners with New Concept

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Currently the United States has weapons, which can shoot around corners, but they are not as accurate as we wish them to be. Often an insurgent will sit a top a building with a superior vantage point and a good location. He will then pick off our guys as they attempt to move and advance forward. Once this is learned a gun, which shoots around corners can be used to try to get the sniper or group of insurgents around the corner. Currently or soldiers have small cameras which display what is around the corner on the barrel of the gun which is bent to shoot around the corner, which displays in the night vision goggle system or head display on the helmet.

There are a couple of problematic issues with this shooting around corners weaponry. One is the recoil, which moves the weapon away from the wall and thus makes it hard to pick off your target first time, meaning you have now made yourself the enemies target as well. I propose suction devices to be used to place the gun against the wall and use the wall as a point for pivoting the weapon for aiming. I propose the same type of suction type grips used in the hardware business for vice clamps on workbenches. Here is one such device, but realize there are so many to choose from in the J.C. Whitney Catalog that we can pick one most similar to our needs and modify it slightly.

http://www.machinemart.co.uk/product.asp?p=040310003&r=2133&g=116

There could also be a double lever, which uses suction for the other side of the wall without sticking your arm or other body part around the corner to secure it. The lever would automatically attach as you secured the suction devices on your side of the wall.

Next I propose we use no-recoil The AA-12 and AA-12 CQB type system or little recoil weapon where the bullets are fed around the corner into the chamber and then use this scenario:

http://www.military.com/soldiertech/0,14632,Soldiertech_AA12,,00.html

With a rapid-fire system of many bullets at a time or a combination of this system and the designs used for the larger shelled “metal storm” weaponry. Additionally we need to look at a centrifuge scenario weapon, which can be used to shoot around corners in rapid fire like a machine gun. The wheel spins and lets loose of the bullets as it spins and wheel slightly sticks out around the corner. The suction clamps would in this case have and “L” bracket on the end to insure that it rests in place so the bullets clear the wall. The eye or vision camera would sit on top of the wheels center with an extension arm and site, as the information is sent to the helmet vision system for day or night warfare.

http://www.defensereview.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=539

We must be able to shoot around corners and kill the murderous insurgent radical international terrorists without losing our own soldiers. Besides such devices make sense for the “War on Drugs” and gang warfare as well. Think on this.

Successes of Intelius

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

During the 90s, not a few in the media lionized InfoSpace.com, a wireless Internet software developer and web content provider, which is also Naveen Jain’s first US company. InfoSpace dominated, gaining billions from trading publicly. Naveen Jain even found himself drawing comparisons with Microsoft king Bill Gates.

By all accounts, it’s now Intelius’ turn. Naveen Jain’s second company, Intelius is fast making its mark in the business world, winning awards left and right and showing meteoric revenue growths. The company emerged in the wake of Jain’s departure from InfoSpace in 2002.

At its core, Intelius is a public-records business. It makes the services and products associated with those records, which contain profitable personal information. People look for such information to make wiser decisions about other people.

Over the years, more and more of Intelius’ information-based services have reaped awards; IDWatch comes to mind. This is one of Intellius’ better services, a suite of tools for protection against identity theft. The Washington Software Alliance declared IDWatch the Consumer Product of 2006 in their Industry Achievement Awards. The same product also landed in the finals for the Best New Service Stevie Award at the 2006 American Business Awards. In 2008, the company was ranked #2 in HRO Today Magazine’s list of the best providers of employee screening services.

Better yet, Intellius has won a business “Oscar.” A Stevie, that is, which has been compared by the New York Post to the Academy Awards statuette. The American Business Awards gave Intelius the Stevie for Best New Company in 2006.

By itself, Intelius is one of America’s most promising private firms. Washington CEO Magazine included it in its ranking of the state’s top 150 private firms, while the Puget Sound Business Journal said it was a fast-growing private company in its region.
