As a full-time online tournament poker player, I am always open to new concepts, strategies and opinions. So when I picked up this book, written by Lee Nelson and Blair Rodman, I was immediately convinced that there was fresh, new material. Now, whether or not you agree with the strategies presented in this poker book, you need to know your competitor’s knowledge and recognize their strategies as well. Some of which will clearly follow from books like this in years to come.

Nelson and Rodman are professionals at this game and each have excellent track records of success. In this book, they provide the novice player with a simple strategy to implement in No Limit Hold’em Tournaments. Having used these strategies themselves, well, they know what they write about. The premise of the Kill Phil strategy is twofold. 1- Maximize betting your entire stack (it’s No Limit, after all) consistently, thus masking the true strength of your hand, and 2- Negate post-flop play that is usually the domain of stronger players .

The reasoning here is that any time you’re all-in and a presumptive favorite, your potential to build a big stack is very realistic. Also, even if you go all-in with prescribed hands and find yourself behind, you won’t be as underdog. The book shows in detail how certain hands you wouldn’t think to bet with have a good chance of winning a huge pot.

The Kill Phil strategy is essentially a byproduct of how tournament formats are traditionally structured. This strategy was first introduced in David Sklanksy’s Tournament Poker for Advanced Players, but Nelson and Rodman break it down and make adjustments for stack size and position, while also introducing some advanced concepts, which the player of Novice tournaments can introduce you to your game with some experience. .

The writers do an excellent job of explaining this tournament poker strategy, giving confidence to any new tournament poker player. As an experienced person, I found a few flaws in the system, which does not detract from the wording and the generous amount of tournament background information included here. I personally couldn’t use this formula, because a large part of my game is post flop aggression. Also, if you employ these tactics in an online tournament with a low entry fee, let’s just say you’ll get a laugh out of Dodge. I have seen such characters and they NEVER win online. Players like me line up drooling for just the right moment to take these fools down.

But as I mentioned earlier, being interested in new concepts is part of growing and improving as a player. The writers present an excellent short stack strategy that can be incorporated into most players’ games and one that I like to use. Hey, any time you have two players this good, butting heads, odds and strategies together, give them the $25 and read their book.

Mario has become a global icon for people like Mickey Mouse. However, this is not a fluke because, to this day, Mario is always one of the top contenders for the game of the year award on any dedicated video game website. Over the years, unlike his competitors (Sonic, Toe Jam & Earl, and Boogerman), he was able to evolve over the years. In many ways Mario is Nintendo spanning hundreds of games, dozens of genres and selling over a billion copies worldwide. Interestingly, the top ten highest rated video games include Mario three times, not including the originals when they were released.

That’s not Nintendo’s only celebratory mascot, just like Disney, Nintendo thrives on its variety of characters. They have Link, a sword-wielding hero from the “The Legend of Zelda” series, Star Fox, a brave space pilot from the “Star Fox” series, Samus, an alien fighter from the Metroid Prime series, Donkey Kong, a giant ape from the Donkey Kong series. , and many more. It’s crazy how many characters Nintendo owns and to this day they are still creating more. All of these characters have been in multiple games and multiple combinations that show them competing against each other. This combination happened years before The Avengers hit theaters, proving that Nintendo is ahead of the curve in more ways than one. They have been releasing new consoles in a span of around 5 years, from the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Wii, and now finally Wii U. Each experience has been different and fresh, letting the players play the games in a whole new way.

The games were fantastic and the consoles were improvements on each other. It’s fun to describe consoles and talk about games, but the only way to really understand all of this is to play a Nintendo console. Years after the release of the first Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo is still hitting home runs to this day. They are fun to play with, families will gather around a TV just to play with some of their favorite pets. This is something that cannot be said of the competitors. If Nintendo continues these innovations, it will create games for the next century and beyond, when we are finally introduced to fully interactive 3D worlds. Don’t be surprised if Nintendo is behind this innovative technology.

Throw away the fruitcake and candy canes! For years, the idea of ​​giving or receiving food has had people in shock and horror. But there’s no need to turn up your nose at the idea! Giving perishable gifts at Christmas is a common holiday tradition that both the giver and the receiver can enjoy. And sending fruit baskets, cakes, or pastries has always been a part of the holiday season. Although the perishable gift idea has been largely scoffed at, there are several gifts that people still love to receive from this semi-taboo category.

You may even need to travel a bit further than your local Starbucks, but don’t lose your mind! Gourmet coffee accessories and sets are highly prized in today’s caffeine driven world. The aromatic flavor of freshly ground coffee beans invigorates the spirit and enlivens the mind with a gentle boost. Some studies even suggest that a little coffee a day helps wake up the brain enough to help prevent age-associated memory disorders. What could not be loved? Try creating your own gift set with flavor-infused coffee, agave syrup, and a “Not A Paper Cup” style reusable ceramic coffee mug.
  2. specialty tea – Tea has gained a huge revitalization movement in recent years. Specialized tea shops can now be found in many shopping malls, with a variety of accessories, from strainers to tea sets for one. No longer the first choice for the English, a special basket of tea is now a coveted gift for the holidays. When making your tea selections, be sure to combine different varieties of tea (white, green, black, or red). Great accessories include infusers, tea-specific travel mugs, and honey-dipped spoons.
  3. chocolates – Truffles, fudge and decorated treats! Chocolates that thrill your eyes as much as your taste buds are the perfect treat for those with a sweet tooth at the holidays.

Go the extra mile and include a few accessories with your bottle to make the gift a complete package. Consider aerators, wine glass charms, decorated stoppers and easy-open corkscrews as accents for the perfect glass of wine.
  5. Cookies – You certainly made an amazing array of cookies for the holiday season. Spare your waistline the trouble of expanding and offer some of your treats as gifts to neighbors and co-workers. They make the perfect thoughtful gift without adding any extra effort to your plate. This is the ideal gift to share with acquaintances, rather than close friends. A decorated plate wrapped with colorful plastic wrap and ribbon can be garnished with a sample of the delicious cookies your family baked this year.

The job market for the past few years has been bad in the United States and around the world. One of the few job markets that has never really stopped hiring (although it certainly slowed down for a while) has been information technology. In the last year or two, I have seen the number of open positions start to grow rapidly once again. There is almost always a shortage of qualified IT professionals. It comes as no surprise then that a large number of people are interested in entering the IT field, or that they see Oracle certifications as a means to do so. I completely agree. I have been in the position of looking to fill entry level slots for Oracle professionals and candidates with Oracle certifications are certainly something I look for.

However, what disturbs me is what I see on forums, blogs and certification sites. It seems that a growing number of people, mainly candidates with little experience, are looking for shortcuts to Oracle certification. Specifically, I’m seeing a marked increase in candidates openly seeking “brain dumps” to try to pass a given test. Brain dumps are sets of ‘supposedly’ real test questions and answers from Oracle certification tests. If you have used or considered using brain dumps, please take a few minutes to reflect on the concept. Since no paper is allowed in or out of the test centers, these questions and answers come from the memories of previous test takers. Whether the dumps are actually real questions and answers depends on the memory of the test takers. However, for this article, I’ll simply assume that the dumps contain real questions with correct answers. After all, any candidate using these dumps is making the same assumption.

Some of the candidates who use brain dumps argue that they are not cheating, but that the dumps are just another valid method of studying for the exam. This argument is completely and obviously wrong. ‘Studying’ for a test by memorizing actual questions and answers is not studying. is cheating. This activity does not give you the background information that the test is designed to determine if you have it. If you’re willing to cheat on a test, I seriously doubt you’ll change your mind based on this article. However, you must be honest enough with yourself to admit that this is exactly what you are doing.

Other than that, you as a certification candidate need to focus on this: Oracle certification tests are designed to determine if you have experience with any part of Oracle’s suite of products. This shouldn’t come as a surprise: An algebra test is designed to determine whether you actually did your algebra homework, and a history test is designed to determine whether you listened when your teacher talked about the French Revolution. The difference is that people who take Oracle certification tests do so because they intend to work with that product. On a typical work day, you’re unlikely to be asked to solve a quadratic equation or discuss the socioeconomic policies that led to the collapse of the French monarchy. However, you may very well be expected to recover from a database crash, resolve a database performance issue, or write a complex SQL statement. If you passed your 11G administrator OCP exams using brain dumps and then got a job thanks to that certification, chances are you won’t be able to do any of those tasks as well as you should.

If you’re going to work in this field, many of the questions asked on Oracle certification tests are about things you really need to know and need to learn at some point. If you need to know the information, it’s *much* better to learn in the context of studying for a test rather than in the middle of a real-life crisis when you’re being watched, timed, and graded by people who are paying. your salary. If you get certifications without having the knowledge behind them, this will become apparent sooner or later. There will be some hiring managers who may not be able to spot candidates with a thin layer of Oracle knowledge during an interview. However, most companies hiring for entry-level positions will have one or more of Oracle’s senior staff at the interview. I have been on these interviews and have discovered unqualified candidates. Even if you are hired, sooner or later if you don’t gain knowledge of Oracle, it will be obvious that you will not be able to do the job and you will be fired. If your plan is to learn the skills you need after you’re hired, why not learn them for certification? Using dumps means you risk losing your certification for cheating. If you’re hired on the basis of certification, you risk being exposed as a fraud if you can’t do the job.

I keep the title of the article. If you still think using dumps is a good idea, more power to you. However, you will never get to any company where I have a say in the matter.

Facebook is a social, cultural and technological phenomenon like no other. With over six hundred million users worldwide, the social networking site seems to be on the verge of taking the world by storm. From a sociological perspective, the consumption patterns associated with the website are fascinating. Today’s user demographics dictate that Facebook manages to transcend all ties of class, gender, and ethnicity. Also, the idea that the site is predominantly marketed to the 18-24 year olds (ie college students) has now been completely transformed. In a recent study, it was confirmed that almost 75% of Facebook users belong to age ranges that are above or below young adulthood. With very little sign of this trend declining, the implications this website has on the social world are sure to be monumental.

Unsurprisingly, social scientists now claim that we are already grappling with the implications of rampant social media. Questions that speculate on how interaction systems change within an age dominated by “computer-mediated communication” have now become a nascent topic within academia. ‘Cyberpsychologist’ Carlyne Kujath argues that the dominance of social media has complemented (rather than replaced) face-to-face social interaction. According to Kujath, most interpersonal relationships are still instigated within ‘offline’ social circumstances. The main utility of social networking sites is solely to solidify these already existing relationships, within a space that is easily accessible to all its constituent members, regardless of their geographic location. Under these conditions, friendship groups are maintained and advanced through online communication. Ergo, the implications of social media are arguably beneficial in potentially helping ‘long-lost friends’ keep in touch with one another. Although this attribute of the ‘Facebook phenomenon’ is certainly laudable, we are still left wondering how real-life sociability has been qualitatively affected by the ubiquity of ‘computer-mediated communication’.

However, Max Weber’s classical sociology can provide insight into this currently under-researched area. For Weber, modern society is characterized by rationality and scientific reasoning. The verifications that support this argument are observable within the social omnipresence of bureaucratic structures. Placed in such conditions, human beings are effectively ‘cogs in the machine’, so notions related to autonomy, mysticism and creativity are almost non-existent. As a result of this highly rationalized order, the “demagicalization” (or “disenchantment”) of social life takes shape. Here, as society becomes more scientific in its thinking, elements related to mystery and wonder (i.e. religion, romance, art, etc.) become less important in the modern world. But wait a minute: – What the hell does this have to do with Facebook? And how has the social networking site contributed to the so-called “de-magicalization” of social life? The answers to both questions arise from the fact that Facebook is rationalist. The organization itself operates on a centralist paradigm; ensuring that no user violates the rules that he has imperatively established. Within this bureaucratic setup, people’s friendship groups are stored within an abstract system that no ordinary human being has control over (think of the abundance of statuses venting some sort of frustration with Facebook by changing your site’s settings). Web). However, user demographics suggest that few people are put off by Facebook’s bureaucratic structure. Rather, people are actually complicit in giving this website carte blanche to quantitatively restructure its equity capital. As a result, social media users are becoming more rational in the way they interact with their friends. For example, friendships are formed on Facebook through sent friend requests. Here, the recipient accepts or ignores these potential friendships as methodically as a worker on an assembly line. Also, within cyberspace, Facebook users are constantly keeping up with their friends’ lives. If a person also wants to know what a friend has been up to, he or she can casually scan through the friend’s ‘wall posts’ and pictures of hers, and efficiently appease their curiosity at the time. According to recent research on the subject, the average Facebook user visits the website six times a day. Under these circumstances, people become less mysterious and more familiar. Such revelations will significantly contribute to the banality of social life. Consequently, the quality of our daily conversations will be tremendously diluted by the excess of social networks.

Forgive me for painting such a pessimistic picture, but since time immemorial it has been an anthropological truism that social beings befriended and maintained friendships through verbal communication. However, thanks to the proliferation of social media, we now live in a society where, for the first time, we can become friends with a person without even getting to know them. I’m pretty sure we all know of a romantic relationship that developed on Facebook. But is this truly romantic; magical; or charming? Meet your potential life partner by becoming your “Facebook stalker”? Yes, it certainly is easier and faster (ie more rational) than the ‘traditional’ model of social interaction. But when it has been claimed that computer-mediated communication is currently overtaking real-world interaction, the need to critically review the implications of the Facebook phenomenon has never been more relevant. I really prefer the sociability in the days before Facebook. But it seems that the effects of social networks are too much underway to reverse. However, according to the neo-Weberian George Ritzer, we can resist social disenchantment by “confronting the machine.” This probably requires less time spent on social networking sites, along with more face-to-face interaction.

However, being more inclined to the macrosociological tradition, I myself expect more qualitative changes to take place through social media. Under these circumstances, Facebook will be an integral figurehead in the ‘de-magicalization’ of social life. Thank you very much Mark Zuckerberg.

Social media, of course, is in its infancy, at least for website traffic generators, so what are the hitherto little-penetrated benefits of social media?

lower costs

It is significantly cheaper to employ online social media strategies than it is to pay for advertising. When you use a social network, you can pre-screen potential customers. You learn what your prospects like and what they don’t. That personal relationship you get when you connect with your prospect is more valuable than what you would get if they advertised for you. Advertising is impersonal: the “one size fits all” concept no longer seems to work.

Credibility and Trust

Connecting with prospects on a personal level builds trust and credibility. A general rule of thumb is to offer your services, expertise, or help before you ask for it. It is acceptable to promote your services when prompted. If you’re not careful, your attempts could be considered spam. Instead, wait for opportunities to present themselves rather than force a situation.

is who you know

When you socialize, you meet others who know others. How are you going to meet the president of a large corporation? You start by talking to his friends. You ask your associates if they know anyone who is related to him. And so on.

Relationships on social media are supposed to benefit both parties. Never take more than you give. When the opportunity presents itself, don’t be afraid to ask your contact to introduce you to a prospect. The old saying rings true: it’s not what you know; is who you know.

There are many reasons to use social media as a marketing tactic. Make sure you have extra time to spend. While the startup costs are certainly lower, this method requires a lot of time to research and build relationships.

The YouTube method that you can use to drive traffic to your website is to make videos for the popular YouTube sharing website. YouTube sees around a billion users each month, so posting a video on YouTube almost guarantees that it will be viewed as long as you use the right keywords.

In this article, we’ll explore the process of making a video, and making it professional enough to drive traffic to your site, as well as the process of choosing keywords and posting it on YouTube.

Step one: make the video

The first thing you are going to have to do is make the video. What kind of video should you make? You can make any type of video you want, but keep in mind that your goal is to get people to see the whole thing and want to know more later. You want them to read the description and look for a link and then leave the YouTube site to go to your own website.

So this could be an instructional video. These types of videos are quite popular on YouTube and they are ready to drive traffic to your website because if you give them almost all the information they need with the video and then promise them the rest if they go to your website, this will drive traffic.

You don’t want to make a video to simply promote your business because people won’t want to see it in the first place, nor will they want to visit your website afterwards. But if you can make a funny or awesome video that evokes emotions and features your business as a part of it, then you can get YouTube views and traffic to your website as well as shares.

If you’re going to stick with the methods of getting traffic without spending money, you’re going to have to create the video yourself. However, there are websites like Fiverr that will allow you to outsource video production very cheaply. If you have to DIY, making a video isn’t too hard to do on your own anyway and you might find that you have a talent for it.

Step two: get your keywords

The next step we will take is to get the keywords that you will use in the title and tag sections of your YouTube video.

Your first task is to determine if someone is actually searching for the keywords you have chosen. Obviously, with keywords like ‘money’ or ‘invest’ you don’t have to look and see if someone is searching; You know that millions of people are using your search terms. But there’s no way you can compete for these search terms on YouTube without many years of hard work, so what you’re looking for are our search terms that only get some searches (but still get some) and are much easier. to compete. for on YouTube.

You want to use AdWords Keyword Planner (https://adwords.google.com/KeywordPlanner) because it’s the number one tool for finding out what kind of usage a search term is actually getting. You can simply type in your search terms and see the estimated monthly traffic a search term receives to make a decision based on that. Now, that’s not going to be the search traffic that term gets on YouTube, but it will give you an idea of ​​what’s popular when it comes to search and what’s not.

Go for the low hanging fruit

One trick is to go for the “low-hanging fruit.” This means intentionally searching for keywords for your videos to get a very specific group of people to take action. Usually, the keywords are long-tailed.

The advantage of going for the low-hanging fruit is that you’ll capture a more targeted audience and get ranked on YouTube easier. If you were to go with a broader term like “weight loss,” it would be next to impossible to classify it these days.

You won’t get as many people searching for longer tail keywords, but at least you’ll get higher quality viewers.

This is where you can “rinse and repeat” this method.

Step Three: Post the Video

Finally, your last step would be to post the video. There are many different ways to do this and one of the easiest is to publish directly from your video editing program.

Of course, you could post it directly to YouTube instead. You’ll need to have exported it from your video editing program or uploaded it from your camera if you didn’t do any editing, and it’ll need to meet certain specifications, such as having the correct file format, following YouTube size guidelines, and other considerations. .

You can find out exactly what YouTube requires when you upload a video by going to their YouTube page and clicking ‘Upload’. Once you’ve uploaded your video, you can create the title and set your tags. Then you can go ahead and publish it. You’ll be on YouTube and driving traffic to your website in no time.

There are millions of fans of street art today. You can be one of them. Learning to draw graffiti is on the wish list of many, and that’s a great thing. However, you can’t just go and buy some spray paint and be really good at it. You will need to see how to learn correctly and how to stay safe while doing this. In many areas, including major metropolitan cities, it is illegal to do so in public. Also, if you are caught doing something illegally, you will be fined and in some cases go to jail. It’s best not to go down that path, so these 4 important tips will help keep you safe while learning this art form.

don’t do anything illegal

The first piece of advice you can go with is simple, don’t do anything that is illegal. This can be hard for some rogue artists to swallow, but it’s important. Don’t trespass, don’t steal anything, and don’t start drawing on any wall without the explicit permission of the property owner. If you have been commissioned to do something, then by all means do it. Otherwise, don’t do anything that is illegal, even if there is a “grey area”.

Learn at your own pace

When it comes to learning graffiti, the temptation is to learn it as quickly as possible by any means necessary. That is not a good way to learn. You are going to end up missing out on valuable fundamental lessons that take time to learn. It’s for that reason that you should take your time and slowly work your way through basic art and design before you start collecting spray paint cans and going to town with them.

Enroll in a drawing class

Perhaps the best advice that can be given to artists who want to learn all styles is to enroll in a drawing class. There are independently operated locations, as well as universities and other settings that will show you how to get creative. You may not think that this is a great option, but it is within the basic fundamentals that you can move on. Once you know the basics, you can break all the rules of art and start working with different types of paint, including spray cans. Don’t discount this advice.

Subscribe to blogs about graffiti techniques

One of the most important things you can do when trying to create graffiti is to see what others are doing. Subscribe to blogs that talk about street art and give tips on how to do it. Also, pay close attention to any recommended books or guides for learning. Learning this type of work is not easy, if you do not know where to turn. One thing is for sure though, if you take these 4 tips seriously, you will keep yourself safe and away from doing anything illegal. Graffiti is fun to work with, if you are confident and progressing in learning correctly.

Apple is ready to launch its highly anticipated iPhone 8.

The phone will reportedly have all kinds of new features and a new design. It will take your device to a new level in appearance and performance.

The price could also take an iPhone user to a new level. Apple’s 10th anniversary phone could cost you a thousand dollars or more.

Some reports indicate that the phone will cost $999 with 64GB rising to $1,099 with 256GB and peaking at $1,199 for a high-powered 512GB device.

Even at its lowest, the phone represents a whopping 40-50% increase over the $649 base model iPhone 7.

However, paying a premium for an iPhone isn’t new to many Apple fans. For example, those who bought an iPhone 7 plus with all the bells and whistles may have already crossed the four-figure threshold.

Apple isn’t alone in the new pricing stratosphere. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is also scheduled for release in the coming weeks. Online chatter suggests that the Note 8 will approach or exceed four figures as well.

Why the higher prices? The competition between the major cell phone players is heating up.

Consumers demand more features, and manufacturers are willing to accommodate them, all at a price.

Innovations like an edge-to-edge OLED display, water resistance, iris scanning, and dual cameras are becoming commonplace. While they add to the enjoyment and performance of the phone, they are also more expensive to build.

While the enthusiasm for the new phones generates a lot of interest, a recent article in USA Today it indicates that the price of a premium cell phone has actually been flat or down, not up.

The newspaper cites a report by researcher Gartner. It reports that in the first quarter of 2017, average prices in the premium segment (higher-end smartphones) were $460, compared to $482 during the same period a year earlier.

The findings in that report are perhaps obscured by the way companies now charge for phones, which now creates a bit of a surprise. In the past, wireless service providers let you pay upfront for a phone that was subsidized at a slightly reduced price. The price was generally tied to a two-year contractual obligation. Some items would have a retail price of $649 but would be listed for $199.

Monthly installment programs also help defer the price of a new high-end device. Some will offer discounts if you trade in a recent model.

Cell phone companies want the phone in their hands realizing that you will need to trust them for cell service.

Even at higher prices, many analysts expect the iPhone 8 to be in high demand. Apple users will welcome such likely additions as face unlock and wireless charging.

The phone will also run iOS 11, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system, and will emphasize augmented reality.

At the same conference, Apple is expected to introduce the new 7s and 7s Plus. These phones may lack all of the “8” options, but they will surely be priced less than the 10th anniversary model.

Those who want a new phone but can live without the features of the iPhone 8 should have a cheaper alternative with the 7s line.

Regardless, the iPhone 8 appears to be another winner in a long line of successful products for the Cupertino, CA company. Apple users are used to paying a premium for its products and will line up in droves, even if they’ve shelled out over a thousand dollars, to get one.

If you are a solopreneur (only you in your business), you will need help from other businesses of some kind. You will need advertising materials, a website, a delivery system (depending on your niche), etc.

Few people have the knowledge to perform all those services by themselves. The solution is to find providers for each specific niche you need within the online B2B Marketplace.

You may need additional money for your business. Once again, locating business partners through business networks is the solution.

Let’s say you want to create an eCommerce store that sells your hand-painted pottery. You could hire someone to build a custom coded website for you (using a B2B Marketplace site provider like Fiverr or Upwork (which has absorbed ODesk and Elance) and Guru.com.

Or you could partner with companies that offer “associate” programs in your niche. For example, you can create an eBay eCommerce store to sell anything from your own books to used books, tools, jewelry, sports equipment, etc. You can also partner with Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com.

Other global companies offer affiliate opportunities. Basically, they will pay you to create an online business presence to help them market their products and services. How can you find these affiliate opportunities? Join a business networking site and learn from those who already participate in such programs.

Using independent marketplace portals to find talented people is a form of trade association, but it is on demand. You use these people only when you need them and the portal that provides their services. Since freelancers work for a variety of people, they may not be available the next time you need them, so you need to find a new provider.

Finding business partners outside of these marketplace portals, with whom you can officially partner, solves this difficulty.

For example, shipping costs from one country to another can be prohibitive unless you “drop ship,” meaning you ship your product to a partner in another country, and that company stores the product and ships it as needed. necessary to people in- country ordering the product.

People or companies offering such services can be found on B2B Marketplace sites.

To find these B2B Marketplace sites, simply do a web search on that term. Then simply search through the results to find a site that offers business services in your particular niche. A B2B Marketplace site is essentially a business network, and networking is the key to expanding your business into the global marketplace.

Business partners located in different areas of the world can also help you advertise your business, particularly your e-commerce business, and make it known worldwide.
