When I lived in Atlanta, my roommate introduced me to a place called the "Open Door". It was an intentional living community where some people would have been homeless and others could have afforded housing of their own. Each resident chose to live there and do life together. One of the things they offered was a foot clinic on Thursday nights. Residents, volunteers, and guests would share a meal and then clean up and set up for foot washing. We generally had 6-8 stations and we would welcome dozens of those living on the streets to wash and care for their feet. Most of them walked miles each day. And with the southern rain, their feet were often wet with no real chance to dry (too cold to be without socks at night and most wore their shoes to sleep so they wouldn't be stolen). When your feet don't dry out, the callouses become very thick. So we would soak, scrub, remove callouses, cut out corns, trim nails, and lotion their feet.
It was a holy time for me. Admittedly, some moments were a bit gross, but I worked through those since the washing was a special gift for our guests. And quickly became a special gift for me. It was a time where I got to know the homeless community. I hadn't had personal interactions with anyone who lived on the street until I volunteered there. I learned their names and their stories. I learned some of the challenges (like parks where an armrest was placed in the middle of the benches so no one could lie down, or stores that called the police simply for a homeless man being nearby).
I am looking forward to a wonderful time of worship where God uses and blesses us and hope to see you.
When I was in seminary there was a woman named Shively who I pretty much steered clear of. We hadn't had a bad interaction, but she was fierce, and I had no desire to get to know her. As luck would have it, we ended up working in the same office over the summer. We had a few casual interactions and started to get to know each other, and she ended up being pretty likable. One day, we did some truth telling and she told me before we worked together, she thought I was pretty much a heifer (this is a common term in the South, and has no relation to your size, but is liken to a more derogatory term that is used here in the West). I was surprised and laughed and then confessed that I had thought the same of her. Apparently, being a strong outspoken woman can lead people to think certain things about you, no matter which part of the country you're from.
I was wrong about Shively. She was articulate, brilliant, funny, and easy to get along with. I had judged her based on next to nothing in terms of facts or reality. And, fortunately, I had been forced to confront my bias and learn the truth about her. All too often we judge people based on all sorts of things. We judge based on age, size, gender, appearance, color of skin, religion, accent, and even area of study. Those things may say something about a person, but they don't tell you much of anything about who he/she really is. Each person is an individual and deserves to be known for who they are.
Cognitively, we might get that, but how often do we push ourselves to stop and spend the time and really get to know someone we've judged? Building relationships with people are even more critical for us, both as the church and as a society. Too many people think they know someone based on who they voted for (or think they voted for), their stance on a particular political issue, or whether or not they speak out on said issues. Those truths (if they even are truth and aren't just assumption) tell us something but they don't tell the whole story.
The divide in our country is heartbreaking, and if we aren't careful it will divide our churches. This is a time for the church to rise up and be a witness. We need to witness to the fact that each person is a beloved child of God (regardless of race, creed, or gender). We need to be a living witness to the love of Christ through our words and our actions. We need to be a witness that often the Bible declares something very different from the culture in which we live. And we need to be a witness of what it means to believe differently (politically), but still be able to come together and worship the same Lord.
The miraculous work of the Gospel is not that we are united in our similarities, but instead that the power of Christ is more pervasive than our divides and differences. Staying together takes work. We will be challenged to see beyond our own perspective. We might even be offended. And, yet, if we stick with it, we will be stronger as we support and love one another. To do that, we have to be together. We have to look beyond stereotypes and first impressions. We have to listen, earnestly and intentionally. And we have to believe that God really does have the power to heal and unite.
Over the last several months, we have been praying for Benny Woodell (a 4-year-old with stage 4 adrenal cancer) and Baby Thomas Harner (a newborn with ALL Leukemia). Both boys are undergoing chemo treatment and are much affected by the health of their blood.
To help them heal, they receive healthy blood units to restore platelets and red and white blood cells. For both of these families, one of the only things we've been able to do is pray, though many of us would be happy to do more.
Well, we now have a chance to do more by giving blood to help restock the blood bank. It is not guaranteed that our blood will go to Thomas, but his illness has helped raise the awareness of the great need for healthy blood on a regular basis. If you are able, would you consider signing up to give in honor of Thomas? (Sign up information is below). If you are not able to donate, would you consider helping care for a young child so a dad or mom can take the time to give mid-day?
Please know your prayers are much appreciated and much needed. We pray for all cancer cells to be dissolved and washed from these boys' bodies and for protection from infection as they heal. Benny will have surgery to remove his tumor (which has shrunk dramatically!!) on Thursday, January 26th.
They have a blood drive at the U of I in the Commons, specifically in honor of Baby Thomas, on 2/7/17 from 11-3.
Africa Sunday is this coming Sunday - our annual celebration of our mission support of three children at the Jamaa Letu orphanages in the Congo, and Africa University in Zimbabwe. Marimba band Setsishaya will be performing again, and we'll have our annual bake sale fundraiser during coffee hour. Congregation members are welcome to bring treats (savory or sweet) to donate to the sale. Items can be dropped off Saturday from 1-2:00, or Sunday before service. Our goal is to raise $1700 to sponsor three children at Jamaa Letu and provide one scholarship stipend to Africa University. (If each adult in worship gave a $15 offering or spent that much at the bake sale, we would easily make our goal).
Jamaa Letu I & II provide housing, shelter, education and ministry for 70 boys and girls without families in Congo. With the support from Jamaa Letu, these children are able to build their own futures and be part of a positive future for their countries.
Sponsorship of a child is $500.
Like children do, the children we've sponsored are growing up. Patience Ekanga is now enrolled in a nursing school at the University. "Papy" Mukendi Mpoyi is in his third year of high school and is studying to become a teacher. Angele Mwadi is an intern at in the Methodist Fashion Workshop, learning sewing.
Africa University was founded in 1985 "to provide quality education within a Pan-African context through which persons can acquire general and professional knowledge and skills, grow in spiritual maturity, develop sound moral values, ethics, and leadership qualities." The University provides education opportunities in a variety of fields, including Education, Agriculture, Health Sciences, Management, Humanities, and Theology.
Our annual contribution to AU is $200 to support student scholarships.

Today is, officially, the last day of Christmas. This is the 12th and last day of Christmas and is celebrated as Epiphany--the day the wise men visited Jesus in Bethlehem.
Often, with the pomp and circumstance of the holidays, it's easy to believe, at least in part, that it's about the big celebration. But really, Christmas is about the incarnation--God with us in the person "Emmanuel". And that isn't meant to be celebrated for a day (or even 12), it's meant to be a reality that is lived each and every day.
So, as we pack up "Christmas" I would encourage you to think about how you might carry it into the new year.
Howard Thurman wrote a beautiful poem called "The Work of Christmas". I share it with you here that it might be an inspiration for how we share Christmas all year long.

A comedic stealth-based game where players take the role of a sentient mushroom trying to grow in secret and avoid its "roommate" from noticing. I created core gameplay mechanics (movement, growth, and resource management) for the prototype. Currently we are polishing the gameplay and UI/UX. The game is being developed in Unreal Engine 4 with a programming team of 7.
A satirical look at the current trajectory of the game industry.
A project by UCSC's Game Design Art Collaboration about a lightning spirit exploring and learning about a forsaken city. The game is 2D in isometric view and the puzzles are based on logic gates and circuitry. We use a custom tile script to handle our simulated electricity flow and I was in charge of creating the A* script that would allow the player to move anywhere on the map with just one click.
The game was made during Global Game Jam 2018 with the theme of "transmissions." The idea was the zombies' infection transmissions, as well radio transmissions for the survivors. Gameplay involves telling survivors where to go, through a radio, leading them to safety. The catch is that movement for the survivors is uniform, meaning if you tell them to go one direction, everyone will start moving in that direction. The game was made in Unity with a programming team of four.
An arena fighter about Michael Wave, a gladiator microwave, that is fighting his way through endless waves of bloodthirsty food which he can cook up and shoot at his enemies. The game was made during Global Game Jam 2017 as part of UCSC's Game Design Art Collaberation Team. The theme of that year was "waves" and the first thing everyone on the team thought of was "microwaves!" The game was made in Unity with a programming team of eight.
A solo project to try out the open-source game framework, Phaser. Mainly created this for fun. Sound may not work for some browsers.
The idea was to create a utility based artificial intelligence that would fine-tune its utility curves to create the optimal behavior. The team decided to approach this by having slightly different constants, generated randomly, in every utility function. We would then create multiple instances of the AI and have them fight against each other to see which constants are most optimal which would be used as a basis for the next set of AI produced by a genetic algorithm which would then repeat the process until the desired behavior emerges. Using an open-source Bomberman clone made by Drummyfish, we were able to impletent our AI into the game for testing. I was in charge creating the utility based AI that could be easily modified for the genetic algorithm.

In ui.py do_convert() I here observe a race between the TagReader and the real start of the the conversion. There 's an idle callback for tags_read() which adds the sound_file to the queue, but converter.start() is called prior than that and may skip files or process an empty queue even. If the idle callback adds a file to the queue later, that one will be available only for subsequent usage of the "Convert" button and leads to weird errors as two tasks in the queue want to work on the same file.
What's problematic here is that the tag reading can trigger the gstreamer plug-in search. If a missing plug-in is not found or not installed, the tag reader doesn't continue. Dunno yet what happens to the converter task queue in that case.
For comparison, Fedora 18 is at glib2-2.34.2, gtk2-2.24.13, pygtk2-2.24.0.
One can observe that with Fedora 18, the tag reading is not race-free either. The last pending idle callbacks may add tasks to the converter queue after it has been started already. With regard to the task queue implementation, that's okay because it's an array "append", and the queue uses "pop" to retrieve waiting tasks. But if the tasks are added too late via idle calls, processing of the queue would have stopped already. That's easy to reproduce with Fedora 19 when converting a single audio file.
Other symptoms: Where with Fedora 18, any of the modal dialogs (such as "file exists - what to do?" or "missing plugin search") seem to block the main loop -- so if I close the first dialog, the next one is displayed -- with Fedora 19 only the first dialog is displayed and all other ones are ignored.
If this is not just temporary, it might be that something has changed to the gobject idle call behaviour and hence affects SoundConverter, where even the background tasks use idle calls.
Surprise, surprise! :) With the latest fixes for gstreamer.py bug 1123410, it becomes possible to wait for all TagReader tasks to complete before starting conversion.
Of course, in that loop I check the forwarded exceptions, too. So far, this even seems to be a work-around for Fedora 19 development.
Yeah, all the current complex flow is stupid and prone to errors.
I don't remember why we are trying to read tags and convert at the same time, but this is way too complex.
I think this was used to remove tags from memory while we were converting, to decrease memory usage. But it's not worth it.
I wanted to fix all this when rewriting soundconverter 3.0 from scratch, but it seems not so hard to fix in fact.
Just read tags if needed, and them convert.
(1) gnome-packagekit has been broken for several releases of Fedora including current Fedora 18 ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/756208 ). It crashes, which makes Soundconverter treat that as unsuccessful installation immediately. Only very rarely one can install a missing plugin that way.
(2) installation of the plugins is asynchronous on top of TagReader being based on BackgroundTask gobject idle callbacks. Currently, and especially with Fedora 19 development, I cannot be sure that TagReaders, which encounter a missing codec, are processed properly at all. One of the running tag readers results in the async dialog for codec installation, but the others don't receive the install_plugin_cb callback (and possibly not even a GST ASYNC_DONE message).
It still contains the forwarded exceptions work-around. And it waits for the tag readers to complete before starting the actual conversion. Because that is done, I forward another flag from inside the gstreamer Pipeline that tells the main UI whether a gstreamer plugin has been installed. If that happens during tag reading, I simply restart the entire do_convert step (= the tag reading!), and that may prompt for further missing plugins. Great! So far that even works with Fedora 19 development.
Wow, this is really sick and ugly!
And I'm afraid there is no better solution for now.
I'll try to restart only the jobs with a plugin install, to see if it works. But frankly, if plugin installation is broken, we really want to disable it for good.
Unfortunately, codec installation works as expected in Ubuntu. So removing it is a no-no. I'll wait for Fedora to fix it instead.
Sure, I could have disabled codec installation in Soundconverter, but that would only hide the breakage in gnome-packagekit.
Now that I have a working fix, I wonder if tag reading is fixable after all.
I can't pause or cancel a tag reading, and it can't report errors. Aaarg!
Maybe a minimal fix will do the job. File renaming will disappear in version 3 anyway. Replaced by a SoundRenamer companion.
Hmm... cancelling tag reading is a matter of definition.
Here it works so far that the actual conversion won't be started anymore, but the loop that starts a tag reader for each file cannot be interrupted (because it iterates over a fixed list of files with no implementation that could break out of the loop). And if one of the tag readers has triggered async installation of a missing codec, the pending dialog will appear, too. The GStreamer exceptions are forwarded, however, so such errors would be handled.
Pausing the tag reading, oh well, that has not been implemented before. The existing code only tries to pause the converter queue.
My stress test involves the conversion of ~10000 files.
In fact, we are basically screwed here.
If we wait for the tag readers to finish, we have to implement pause/cancel, and it's very slow.
If we rename files after conversion, all overwrite/error stuff is broken. And what about network vfs?
And we want a fix ASAP, to release a new version.
The best and easiest solution may be to use one queue for both tags and conversion.
And be sure to add the following converter before "finishing" the tagreader.
The biggest challenge being that ConverterQueue must be replaced.
Another solution could be to add the tag reading in Converter or ConverterQueue, but it's not a great idea from a design point.
And I you expected, I've again changed my mind.
Using a join queue is way too complex , and there is no other gain.
Well, if we rename files after conversion, it's (theoretically) also faster.
I have now to test if cancel/pause are still functioning.
Also, we don't ask to the user for overwrite/skip, we just generate new file names if needed.
Pause has a race condition, if a task finishes while we are pausing, the next one will start anyway.
Codec installation still works as expected.

Chancellor George Osborne's cat Freya has been returned to Downing Street, after being found frightened and lost in Vauxhall, London.
Outreach worker Kate Jones found Freya far from home and identified the wandering feline from a tag on her collar.
Ms Jones said: "I'm not so used to working with homeless cats but when we saw Freya we realised how distressed she was, we did the only right thing possible and helped her get off the streets too."
Freya spent the night on Ms Jones's pillow before being collected by Downing Street officials.
She had somehow travelled south of the river and at least 1.5 miles before being found.
Freya, who moved to Downing Street with the Osborne family in 2010, has reportedly gone missing before, after disappearing from the family's Notting Hill home in 2009.

Question: Can a book have too many characters?
Answer: It really doesn't matter how many characters a book has as long as they are engaging.
You need at least one main character whose dilemma the reader can relate to, and an impact character who presents an alternative way to handle the problem (even if this character is imaginary). That's the minimum.
Some novels have many, many characters, if they are long and have a number of subplots. (The Harry Potter series is a recent example.) It all depends how many you need to tell the story or to flesh out the main character's world.
* You must keep your plot moving.
* Publishers may be more inclined to publish a 100,000 word novel by a first-time writer than a 600,000 word novel (which means less space for extra characters).
* It will be easier for you to keep track of 20 characters than 200, and easier for the reader too.
* You don't want redundant characters. If two characters fulfill basically the same function, it may make sense to combine them.
But there's no hard and fast rule. It all depends on your story.

I’m often criticized for being too organized. I’ll blame it on my PMP! Since I get so much grief about it in the office – I thought that I’d share why I feel that organization is important. Most people get it. And, most people appreciate having at least one team member that is organized. Ok – wait a second! My closet doesn’t look like this…so don’t run away yet! Although, wouldn’t it be nice if my closet looked like this!
This post is not just about being Type A. It’s about the productivity that can be gained by being organized – and maybe a few tools that will help you. These tools can help if you are organized (like me) or trying to become more organized.
In this brief post, I found myself wanting to add more to this list. There are many more benefits to being organized, but the above list is a starting point.
I use a few tools which I thought may be helpful to highlight for others too. If you haven’t run into Levenger already – I find them an incredibly helpful resource for these types of things.
Levenger Circa Notebook – Neat notebook from Levenger that allows you to add, move, and subtract pages which utilize their circa system. As your notebook grows, you can buy larger discs so that it holds additional pages. They even have nifty dividers if you’d like to separate out different projects.
Action Method Sheets – These sheets have changed the way that I take notes in meetings. They are great for capturing next steps.
Project Planner Sheets – These sheets are great for when you are initiating a project and brainstorming about the potential project activities and next steps. As you work with the team, you can jot down your prelim project plan in these sheets before you spend more time on transposing it electronically later.
Microsoft OneNote – If you prefer to work on your computer, Microsoft OneNote is a great tool to capture meeting notes, organize your thoughts, and document action items. You can setup different pages for different projects or different meetings. It also integrates with Microsoft Office and has a built-in screen capture tool. If you are an Outlook user, Microsoft OneNote integrates with Outlook meeting requests. This can be handy if you want to quickly insert the name of the meeting and the meeting attendees into your notes. If you are the meeting organizer, this can also help you to quickly take attendance as individuals come into the meeting room.
Of course, these are just a few of many tools that could jump-start your organizational efforts. What do you use? Please share!
How do you build a sense of “team” within an organization? It seems like such a simple concept, but politically and organizationally it can be a very difficult thing to accomplish. Many start-ups have an immediate sense of team. Employees are engaged and always extremely busy. Over time, workers start to work remotely and the culture lessens. Then, many get acquired. The acquiring companies often “forget” about the old company culture and suddenly begin transformation efforts to bring the start-up into the corporate fold. The irony in many of these situations is that the corporate culture is less than that of the start-up. But, they just wanted the customers anyway, right?
Even if you are not a start-up, how does your organization build, and more importantly, maintain a sense of team? Does social media play a part?
To look more like this?
I have worked for several organizations and I have seen corporate social media tools work fantastically. I have a preference toward a tool called Yammer (which is now owned by Microsoft). However, there is a proliferation of good social media tools that may be able to perform a similar function. A relatively new Charleston, SC-based company, Sparc, has a product called Sparcet. Unlike Yammer, they focus almost solely on recognition and employee engagement. Intuit, a company known for Quickbooks, has a neat product, Quickbase, to spawn DIY custom apps which promote productivity as well.
Regardless of the tool that you use, evaluate to see if this makes sense for your organization. It may even lead to the formation of a Social Media Team.
Recently, Georgetown University’s CIO, Lisa Davis, announced a key development from University Information Services on our Facebook page. Socially, we visited students waiting in line for the Georgetown shuttle across D.C. The development that was announced was the ability to check the next GUTS (Georgetown University Transportation Shuttle) via our mobile application. Interactively, our mobile app will show the shuttle en route so that you are aware of the location and how long to wait for the next one. This was a big success and helped to celebrate our accomplishment internally. In addition to the fun photos, it engaged the community and brought more attention to the hard work of our department. More attention = more adoption. More adoption = better success.
So, don’t take my word for it. Here are a few benefits that others have stated about the use of social media as a team collaboration tool.
Strengthened employee collaboration. From executives in headquarters to stylists on the floor, personnel use Yammer to share experiences, questions, and answers.
Nearly real-time process improvements. Westfield has used insight gleaned from Yammer feed to improve everything from computer training to gift-card programs.
Savvy leveraging of mobile devices. Employees can access the network when they’re away from their desks, posting real-time updates on happenings at shopping centers.
More satisfied customers. As more employees and retailers tap into Westfield’s network, they’re influencing events and policies to improve the shopping experience.
Better information sharing. Staff use Yammer as their forum for sharing business content, including articles from publications such as The Harvard Business Review and Forbes.
Comprehensive collaboration. The network unites response agents in the field with claims processors at headquarters, who can tap in on any device.
A more effective social intranet. Yammer integrates with Nationwide’s key applications, including SharePoint.
Improved productivity. Better information sharing and the crowdsourcing of ideas means faster responses to business and customer demands.
A stronger corporate culture. The network helped transform a widespread employee base into a more tightly knit workforce focused on customer satisfaction.
Technology Crowdsourcing: What do you think?
I’ve recently found a few good product comparison sites and have written a few posts/reviews for them. This type of crowdsourcing will become the future of the initial phases of procurement, but it will not replace the expertise of organizations like Gartner and Forrester. Not only are these sites a brilliant idea, but it keeps the vendors honest. Think of your personal life. Do you use Yelp? Angies List? TripAdvisor? I do – and I can only imagine that technology crowdsourcing sites will continue to grow. What do you think?
Here are a few that I’ve recently discovered. I hope that you find them as helpful as I did!
I just saw this infographic on visual.ly by Neostrategos.
It immediately caught my attention with Ada Lovelace. My first programming language was Ada 83, then Ada 95. This graphic does a nice job providing a outlay of some of the key programming language in use today – and the companies that have adopted them.
Also, if you are a programmer, you’re probably already familiar with the OWASP Top 10. Great resource! Thanks, Neostrategos – great post!

If your from my generation you knew him as the title character on Benson, a spinoff of the soap opera parody Soap when ABC saw his potential to head his own show, as well as co-starring in two made-for-TV movies with Gary Coleman. Later fans may know him as Robert Townsend’s father in The Meteor Man or the voice of Rafiki in the Lion King movies. Unfortunately, actor Robert Guillaume has passed away at 89-years-old. Despite a hard life and some personal missteps due to that life, he managed to break ground for black characters and leaves behind a good body of work. My condolences to his family and friends.
Posted by ShadowWing Tronix on October 25, 2017 in Television Spotlight and tagged Benson, celebrity deaths, Robert Guillaume, The Lion King.
That Benson theme music still remains in my head today. Soon as I heard this morning that Robert Guillaume had passed away, that song automatically started playing in my mind. Benson was a show that my family watched when I was a kid. It truly was a show that the whole family could view. I didn’t know about Guillaume’s difficult childhood and troubling early adult years. His story demonstrates that one can make a positive change in one’s life no matter what had happened before. I’ve always viewed Robert Guillaume as a gentleman among actors. So I say prayers and condolences for him, his family, and friends.

When it comes to determining the effectiveness of a website monitoring solution, its included features are paramount to revealing its true abilities. While there are literally hundreds of free and paid monitoring tools available to system administrators, if you’re seeking a solution capable of providing detailed reports and monitoring critical performance metrics, then you must seek out a tool with several universally important features. Although the following nine features are only a handful of vital functions, they offer an excellent reference point for making a purchasing decision.
As your website audience grows, the geographic location of visitors will likely grow alongside it. Remember, the further your audience is from your website server, the slower the response time. By monitoring the performance of your website from various locations throughout the country (and world), you’re able to determine exactly how your website responds to requesting browsers from across the globe. If you notice a significant drop in performance based upon geographic locations, you may want to consider implementing a CDN, or Content Delivery Network, solution.
While the actual monitoring abilities of a website monitoring solution are essential for its success, its ability to diagnose errors and issues is paramount for swift error resolution. When an error report is gathered, it’s imperative that your monitoring solution be capable of running in-depth diagnostic tests to help isolate specific errors within all components. As a general rule of thumb, the greater the diagnostic capabilities of a website, the faster a resolution may be found and implemented.
Although a website may be up-and-running, it doesn’t necessarily it’s rendering web pages in an accurate manner. One of the most destructive situations for any website is inaccurate content rendering. However, with a website monitoring solution, administrators are able to continuously keep track of not only the speed of page rendering (which can be done with tools like www.loadview-testing.com), but also the accuracy. Nothing can ruin an online reputation faster than inaccurate content rendering. Therefore, this is an imperative level of monitoring all websites must implement, according to loadtesting.co.
While the primary function of a website monitoring software is to ensure the full operation and performance of an enterprise, there are many instances when a single page can become unresponsive. This proves extra problematic if this page contains critical business elements, such as an order form or a registration form. Therefore, it’s important that your website monitoring software be able to determine not only the entire website availability (uptime), but also specific webpage availability. The most effective monitoring techniques to monitor the performance of each page, as well as monitoring the dynamic content within the pages, such as video, image and application files. Structure the monitoring tool to send out specific alerts should one or all of these elements fail to respond within the assigned performance threshold.
If you’re curious about implementing a website monitoring solution into your website enterprise, there are many considerations that will affect your decision. While the exact monitoring techniques and capabilities of a software are paramount to its success, perhaps one of the most critical elements of a monitoring solution is its reporting capabilities. Even if a solution is capable of providing you with outstanding monitoring abilities, if its reporting functions are lacking, the effectiveness of its monitoring solutions is diminished. Therefore, when you’re searching for the ideal website monitoring tool, only choose a solution capable of delivering the following reports.
Modern website enterprises are more like living beings than computer programmed files. Because of the high level of interactivity between infrastructure components and users, it’s imperative that an administrator stays ahead of the curve in terms of trends and website behavior. The only way to successfully accomplish this goal is through reporting insights. Make sure that your reports are capable of being gathered based upon specific time frames. As a general rule of thumb, reports must have the option of gathering daily, weekly, monthly and yearly data. The exact level of data can vary, but make sure the tool is capable of delving into deep-level data statistics and user behavior for the most accurate view into the actual performance and functionality of your website infrastructure.
The ability to quickly scan various data sets is imperative when determining the source of an error or documenting behavior variations based upon upgrades or site improvements. However, there are times when an administrator simply needs a quick snippet of information. Therefore, it’s imperative a website monitoring solution provide “quick-view” reports. That is, reports that are displayed on the primary control panel, or dashboard, for streamlined and expedited review.
While the majority of reports is delivered through a series of data sets, numbers and figures, it’s imperative that administrator’s receive detailed and real-time performance graphs when it comes to website availability and response time. Within these visual graphs, make sure information such as average response time for all users as well as response times based upon specific geographic locations is available.
Reports are not only accessed at the leisure of system administrators, but they should be sent out with alert notifications. Therefore, make sure you choose a solution capable of delivering report notifications should an error or issue arise within the inner workings of the website. Notifications should have the option to be sent via email or by SMS text messages.
In order for your website enterprise to be a success, you must learn how to divide your priorities. While you must ensure the site is filled with accurate and helpful information, an administrator must also ensure the architecture and performance of a website meets the ever-tightening user performance demands. No matter how large or small your website may be, it’s imperative to remember that every visitor is unique, and so are their expectations regarding performance and functionality. In an attempt to satisfy varied user expectations and requirements, real user website monitoring techniques are imperative. This form of user/website monitoring focuses on end-user experiences by gathering a unique set of data values. By gaining real-user performance reports, administrator’s gain deeper insight into how their sites are viewed by visitors. These insights may navigate webmasters to improvements and alterations they otherwise would be unaware of.
All platforms utilized to access a site; with data to delve into response times and click-out rates.
Visualized performance metrics, which provide a clear and unobstructed view into the actual experiences had by users.
The most well-equipped real user website monitoring solutions offer near-instant user tracking. This means system administrators are able to track the behavior and performance (interaction) of specific website elements for a specific user, or set of users. By gaining real-time monitoring feedback and reports, an administrator is capable of making last-minute adjustments and alterations to immediately support the highest performance and functionality level. There are a number of companies that offer solutions like that such as Pingdom and Uptime-Pal.
The number of visitors that were impacted by website downtime or system outages.
The number of errors and issues that directly influence user engagement, visitor conversion and abandonment percentage. With this information, error fixes and improvements can be prioritized based on importance.
The root cause for website performance errors. By quickly revealing the exact cause of an error or issue, administrators may correct the error before it has time to affect user experience for a large number of visitors (read more information about that here).
For thousands of online retailers, the holiday season is a time of great excitement. Not only are new products typically launched during the rush that accompanies the holiday season, but overall, sales generally see a significant increase. Starting in November, many eCommerce stores begin to notice an increase in traffic, and hopefully an increase in sales. If you wish to maximize your revenue during this profitable time of year, it’s imperative that you narrow your focus on creating a stable and high-performing website. While there are many techniques and methods available to secure a stable online environment, the use of website monitoring solutions is increasing important during this highly valuable time of the year.
While it's no secret that a high-functioning website is imperative for all websites, it's even more so important for eCommerce websites. Did you know that a recent survey revealed that if a website takes longer than 5 to 7 seconds to completely load, over 75% of Internet users will click out of the site. What's even more surprising - almost all responders said that they would click out of a website, even if they were in the middle of purchasing an item.
If you wish to avoid losing sales due to an under-performing website, then it's imperative that you implement an effective website monitoring solution capable of monitoring user activity as well as the performance health of critical website components.
Server Response Time - The duration it takes for a server to receive and respond to an HTTP request determines not only the functionality of your site, but also your conversion rate. Therefore, it's imperative that you establish several performance metrics capable of delivering instant reports regarding server response times. However, to truly take control of your enterprise, these response reports should include potential areas within an infrastructure resulting in server slowdowns.
Geographic Location of Users - The further away your users are from the network servers, the longer the response time will be. If you're noticing that the majority of your visitors are coming from a far-away land, then it's imperative to adopt a CDN, or Content Delivery Network, capable of shortening the physical distance between the requesting and responding servers. When implemented properly, this can substantially increase the overall response times between users and your website.
Instant Error Notifications - Perhaps one of the most notable ways to decrease visitor conversion rate is by hosting a website that's constantly featuring errors or error-derived slowdowns. While even the best networking and website designs can feature errors, it's the swiftness of correction that truly determines the strength of your site. Therefore, it's beyond important your monitoring solution provide 24/7 coverage and instant error notifications. However, to prevent bogging down your email or phone accounts with non-critical notifications, make sure the solution offers a built-in escalation tool capable of highlighting the most critical errors.

Brunel’s great because all the lecture rooms are on one campus; it makes it really easy to get to classes.
Why did you choose to study at Brunel?
I chose my course at Brunel University London because it gave me the opportunity to do a business-related placement in my third year. Also, it’s not often you get to mix analytical skills from science with a competitive edge from business. I get to access different parts of knowledge in those areas which I wouldn’t normally be exposed to. I enjoy the business side most because it gives me a different perspective on life in the business world.
How did you find your work placement?
My work placement was really enjoyable. I loved that I learned how to be a professional asset to a company. During my placement I created an online database that sped up the user’s recovery time from illness and injury.
What is one thing you feel stands out about Brunel?
Brunel's great because all the lecture rooms are on one campus; it makes it really easy to get to classes.

The collection of essays in ‘She said she was in the family way’: Pregnancy and infancy in modern Ireland is a welcome addition to our knowledge of Irish women’s lives. Its use of a variety of sources in original and revealing ways, its rigorous scholarly presentations and its overall knowledge of the field is truly of benefit to all those interested in Irish history. Particular commendation must go to Elaine Farrell for editing such an impressive collection. From her ‘Introduction’ to each of the individual chapters, the breadth of knowledge the authors display is indeed impressive. And I would be remiss if I did not mention the detailed and extensive footnotes which lead the interested scholar to more revealing sources.
This volume is of great benefit not just to those in women’s history but to those in Irish history in general. What I particularly appreciate is the way in which this volume challenges and expands our knowledge of Irish women’s lives. I would like to focus this review on these two aspects – the ways in which these articles broaden our knowledge of women’s lives and hence Irish women’s social history, and the manner in which the evidence presented here confronts some of the commonplace assumptions in Irish history.
What this collection does brilliantly is to challenge the commonplace assumption in Irish history of the chasteness and therefore moral superiority of the population of Ireland. This is particularly true of the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, especially with establishment of the Irish Free State. The mantra of politicians in the Free State period was that one of the unique characteristics of Ireland was that it was pure and chaste. This was important because it was one of the justifications for independence and what distinguished Ireland from other countries, especially the United Kingdom and to a lesser extent the United States. What this collection demonstrates in a very convincing manner is that there was a great deal of sexual activity in modern Ireland. Outlawing contraception, banning abortions and censoring certain lewd newspapers did not seem to help at all. Infanticide – when all else failed – was the answer to sexual activity outside of marriage.
The issue of contraception raises some very interesting issues on the question of Irish moral superiority. On the one hand, the discussions about outlawing birth control seem to indicate that there was some demand for it. The high levels of prostitution and venereal disease in 19th-century Ireland seem to undermine the claim that Ireland was a pure nation. However, the two articles on birth control by Ann Daly and Sandra McAvoy also come at this discussion from a slightly different perspective. In a very well written analysis of the Dublin medical press, 1850–1900, Daly demonstrates very clearly how issues of middle-class respectability contributed to the discussion on birth control. One of the points she makes is that the resistance to birth control was ‘… linked to the middle class ideals upheld by the medical profession’ (p. 16). In this article we are given insights into how the doctors struggled to define medicine as a ‘prestigious and reputable profession’ using its opposition to birth control as one of the items upon which to stake this claim.
The noted historian Sandra McAvoy, who has done outstanding work on issues of sexuality and reproductive rights, traces the events that helped prepare the way for censorship and the prohibition of sales of contraceptives. McAvoy traces the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland’s quest to have the sale of contraceptives declared unethical and the work of social activists to strengthen obscene definitions of birth control. Both these movements operated within the shadow the Roman Catholic Church and the individuals who were active in these campaigns smoothed the way for the Catholic Church to undertake a definite campaign against contraception and for censorship.
The evidence provided in the sections on infanticide, and the evidence given in the sections on child abuse and baby farming, leads us to question the assumption that women fitted easily into a tradition which saw them primarily if not solely as lovely mothers. What these sections demonstrate is that not all women were cut out to be mothers or looked forward to the birth of their sometimes 16th child. That is certainly one area in which the reality conflicts with the ideology of domesticity or the image of the ’angel in the home.’ In fact the term ‘baby farming’ – a term which denoted nurses who took in a number of illegitimate babies in return for pay – was not used in Ireland. The failure to use the term baby farming, Sarah-Anne Buckley points out, ‘… appear[s] to be related to attitudes surrounding childhood, Irish women and the image of Ireland as a place where cruelty to children did not occur’. Buckley even unearths an editorial in The Irish Times which claimed that, ‘baby farming’ while it may happen in England, did not happen in Ireland (p. 148).
The article by Elaine Farrell on infanticide and class status in Ireland is a good example on the way in which class impacted gender. She states that ‘ infanticide and concealment of birth were generally regarded as offences committed by the lower classes …’ (p. 206), but she then goes on to cite an example of a middle-class woman who committed infanticide and was caught. She discusses the reasons why this was so and explains how this was the exception rather than the rule. Among these reasons was the fact that middle-class women often had less freedom and, perhaps more importantly, they had resources at their disposal that working-class women did not have. For example, middle- and upper-class families with pregnant daughters could often pressurize the putative father with the promise of large dowries. Abortions or abortifacients could also have been more available. Thus it was not necessarily a question of sexual morality and class but rather a question of means and opportunity.
The importance of class is also evident in Julie Anne Bergin’s article on the lying-in hospitals in Dublin. Lying- in hospitals promoted themselves as ‘safe places for poor women great with child’ (p. 95). Unfortunately, they were also rampant with infection and disease which sometime resulted in death. For example, Bergin makes it clear that both the Rotunda and the Coombe concealed the numbers of maternal deaths. They hid their mortality rates by transferring patients to gynecological wards after eight days. Clearly, during the early years of lying-in hospitals, women were safer giving birth at home than in such institutions. Middle-class women, while always under the threat of maternal death, were better off at home than in the Rotunda or the Commbe and hence had an obvious advantage.
The question of purity and its reverse, the accusation that numbers of women became pregnant outside of marriage and then took the boat to England, is a theme which runs through Jennifer Redmond’s well researched article on unmarried mothers in Britain from the 1920s to the 1940s. The accusation was that pregnant Irish women escaped to England to avoid the shame and stigma of being unmarried and pregnant in the Republic. The exact numbers are difficult to establish but as Redmond argues: ‘The concern appeared to stem from a fear that Ireland’s reputation as not only a moral but an exemplary Catholic country was being tarnished by the number of unmarried pregnant Irish women coming to the attention of the British Catholic hierarchy, charitable organizations and health authorities’ (p. 183).
As I noted, this collection of essays also expands our knowledge of women’s lives. These articles build on Catriona Clear’s groundbreaking social history of Ireland from 1850–1922.(4) A number of these articles add to the discussion which Clear inaugurated about women’s lives as mothers. A sterling example of this is Rosemary Raughter’s article based primarily on the spiritual journal of Elizabeth Bennis. As she notes in the title of this article, she examines pregnancy, childbirth and parenting. It is a fascinating glimpse of the life of a non-elite Methodist woman who revealed much about herself, her feelings and her trials on her spiritual path. It is also a useful juxtaposition to Clodagh Tait’s more theoretical article entitled ‘Some sources for the study of infant and maternal mortaility in later 17th Century Ireland’. Tait demonstrates how to use sources such as parish registers effectively, to ‘look at issues such as rates of infant and child mortality, pre- and post-marital pregnancy levels, maternal mortality and, indeed deaths of fathers’ (p. 5). Raughter’s article works nicely to give us the particulars of one woman who experienced childbirth ten times in 17 years.
From a historiographical point of view, Raughter’s article adds yet another voice to challenge Lawrence Stone’s contention that affective relations between parents and children were relatively weak in the modern period. On the contrary, we read of her ‘heavy heart’ at the death of first and only son, exclaiming that ’The loss of my child is ever before me’ (p. 83). When yet another child died, she proclaimed that she could not pray. This estrangement from her god did not last and she continued her dual roles as faithful Methodist and loving parent.
Other articles which engage with social history directly and demonstrate what we can learn from various sources concern the role of the mother as healer and the material culture of the cradle. Emma O’Toole’s article on the role of mothers and medicinal care provides a fascinating insight. O’ Toole, working on family papers, argues that mothers played ‘an active’ role in children’s health in the 18th and early 19th centuries (p. 117). Mothers made the medicine, often traded cures with their contemporaries and availed of the growing number of cookbooks that were becoming available during this time period.
Elaine Murray’s article very interestingly uses the history of the cradle ‘… as a means of exploring attitudes toward infants in Ireland in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries’ (p. 129). Cradles came in a variety of shapes and were inundated with various blankets, coverings and the like. Murray makes the point that the use of the cradles marks the point ‘of turning an infant’s sleeping practice from a social to a solitary affair’ (p. 129). What I found particularly interesting was that cradles came to be the receptacle of prayers, chants, holy water and crosses, all to protect the child. Stories of changelings and the abduction of children by fairies also surround the cradle.
Anne O’Connor picks up on this point, among others, in her article entitled ‘Beyond cradle and grave: Irish folklore about the spirits of unbaptized infants and the spirits of women who murdered babies’. O’Connor analyses the folklore surrounding the issue, raised in the previous articles, in a manner which helps tie them together. In relating folklore to issues of infanticide, the author speaks of the legend of the damned wherein the spirits of the women who have murdered their child return. She also notes the return of the spirits of unbaptized children who returns from the dead to accompany their mothers’ souls to heaven in the legends of the blessed.
In conclusion, one point I would like to emphasise is that Irish women’s history has pushed the boundaries of social and political history through its work on sexuality. It has demonstrated that sexuality is indeed political and that consigning issues like pregnancy, childbirth and infanticide to the purview of women’s issues is simply inadequate. The emphasis on these issues reflected the concerns of government and society, especially in relation to purity and chastity. The facts of the matter contradict the image which male Irish authorities wanted to portray.
Certain very interesting sub-themes run though this text. One which stands out to me is the lack of value placed on women and children by a patriarchal society. In all these instances, for example, there is very little mention of the ’father’. Moreover, it seems the Roman Catholic Church and local officials reveal an attitude bordering on contempt for mothers and children. Pregnancy and infancy in modern Ireland were, in fact, dangerous states of being, made even more so by the misogyny running rampant through this society.

3 In Which Way Do You Position Your Bed for Good Luck?
According to the ancient Chinese system of feng shui -- pronounced “fung shway” – the way you arrange spaces and furnishings, and what colors you use to decorate a room affect your energy levels, productivity, health and happiness. Without undertaking major renovations or spending a lot of time and money, homeowners can apply many of the practices of feng shui to a room.
Feng shui, as well as traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts, is founded on the idea that a life force or flow of energy called “qi” or “chi” (both pronounced as "chee") permeates and affects everything. A common mistake made by beginners is to rush into feng shui by hastily placing figurines, mirrors and other objects around a room in an attempt to improve the flow of energy in the space. However, this often clutters the space and leads to greater discomfort. According to feng shui, untidy rooms disrupt and block the flow of energy, leading to feelings of chaos and confusion. Keep rooms clean and organized to increase feelings of clarity and vitality in a room. Empty garbage bins every day and sort laundry, books and papers to keep clutter from piling up.
The placement of furniture in a room affects how you move through a room and how you feel when you use the furniture. Feng shui claims that placing a bed in the pathway between a door and window obstructs the flow of energy and causes feelings of unease. Try placing the bed with its headboard against a wall, not in front of a window, and with a view of the entry door and any activity beyond it. According to feng shui, placing the bed in this position instills a sense of protection and safety, making it the best position for feeling calm and restful. This same rule applies to your desk.
Bright light from windows increases energy levels. Leave windows uncovered or hang light, sheer drapes or retractable blinds to allow more light into kitchens, living rooms or other spaces where you want to encourage activity and feel energetic and alert. Feng shui cautions not to allow too much light into bedrooms or other rooms where you want to easily relax and feel restful. However, if your bedroom is dark and gloomy to begin with, it may benefit from some added light and energy. Mirrors also help brighten spaces by reflecting light deeper into the room. When placed to reflect scenic views, mirrors also help you feel more relaxed or revitalized, depending on the scene. Practitioners of feng shui warn against hanging dark-stained, broken or distorted mirrors because they may create feelings of unease.
Painting a room a different color can affect how the space feels. Feng shui recommends blue and green colors for rooms where you want to feel tranquil and relaxed, such as bathrooms or bedrooms. Using bright, warm colors such as yellow, orange or red energizes the space and encourages movement, making it best for kitchens, family rooms and exercise spaces. You don’t have to rely just on paints. Try different colored bedspreads, colorful throw pillows or hanging artwork to see the effects color can have on a room.

Larranaga, in a prepared statement he read Monday to media in Miami, said he does appear to be “Coach-3” referred to in the FBI documents. “Coach-3” is said to be a part of the plan to have an adidas executive help pay “Player-12” – believed to be Little – the $150,000.
Miami has an apparel contract with adidas, and adidas executive Jim Gatto was charged last month by federal authorities as part of the FBI investigation.
Little, a 6-6 forward from Orlando, Fla., and a five-star recruit, committed Oct. 4 to play at UNC, a Nike school. Little and his father have signed affidavits saying they never entertained or requested payments from Miami or any shoe company.
As Larranaga was leaving an interview session Wednesday, he was quietly chatting with former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins.
For Larranaga, beginning his seventh season at Miami, the past month may have been the toughest, most stress-filled in his 40 years as a college coach.
Larranaga said being on the court with the team has offered a respite from the speculation about what’s next, what may or may not happen.
But the accusations remain. The Miami Herald reported there were two calls made Aug. 6 between Gatto to “a cellphone believed to be used by Coach-3.” According to the Herald, Larranaga’s attorneys said the calls concerned an adidas Nation showcase in Houston that Little attended.
Code was arrested in September and faces federal charges.
Larranaga, 68, won an ACC championship in 2012-13, his second season at Miami and has 609 career wins. The Hurricanes, 21-12 last season, have reached the NCAA tournament each of the past two seasons.
Larranaga wasn’t aware that ACC commissioner John Swofford said Wednesday that an ACC task force had been formed to look into college basketball issues. He did like hearing the task force would be chaired by Craig Littlepage, the retiring athletic director at Virginia and a former coaching associate with the Cavaliers.
“There are people a lot smarter than I am who need to weigh in on this and decide what needs to be done,” Larranaga said.

Because . . . state secrets span Administrations.
The problem is with “understand“.
All authoritarian / autocratic / dictatorial governments diminish the power of the press because . . . they are keeping secrets and intend not to share the reality of their political space with their subjugated populations.
How honest, for example, can Maduro be with Venezuelans when he is operating a criminal state?
He can’t share anything having to do with his circles of criminal enterprise. Instead, he has to tell the people fairy tales in a loud voice.
However, and in defense of secrets keeping and to criticize popular democratic self-determination — or perhaps point out the limits of the same — the British governing class got a strong lesson when it allowed nationalist forces, induced by Moscow-backed Islamic Terrorism and Migration — I “read” Syria as a deliberate underhanded assault on Europe — to make an issue of integration with the European Union, which has been Great Britain’s nearest and greater market and trading partner. Some part of the voting public had had no idea about where its state really was. Instead, they were focused on the degrading of British life by jihadists and needy migrants coming out of the middle east. They chose to lower the portcullis in an attempt to insulate themselves from what they believed was happening in Europe and happening to them because of a unified Europe. They’re now on the cusp of paying for their misjudgment.

Who would have thought that mashing buttons could actually transform bespectacled youths into salaried professionals with monikers that leave a lot of room for semantic debate? The surging eSports industry is upon us and so are the intricacies of gambling. Hitherto unprobed territories, placing wagers on the outcome electronic sports is making its presence felt so much that investors are hastily unfastening their purses, however stingingly.
Drawing a map of the landscape of Defense of the Ancients (Dota) 2 and item betting is not an easy undertaking. If we fall back to comparing it to vast water basins, then it is choppy seas at beast. To anyone with some interest in how betting laws in the United States work, it is a legal conundrum.
What is Dota 2 item/skin betting and how it spurred eSports betting?
Where to bet on Dota 2?
How and when did eSports become popular, and what it means for big industries?
What started as an opaque segment is nowadays is an industry, citing numbers that boggle the mind. Market research companies are compiling reports exploring the many dimensions of the next big thing. Newzoo produced an account of eSports viewership in the first half of 2017. Cumulatively, spectators logged 2.8 billion hours on Twitch.tv, with one fifth of that spent watching eSports. Rallying covetous spectators at the altar of the Golden Calf has proven an undertaking all too easy. And where there is audience, there is profit to be made.
The way it works today, a number of well-established websites are offering online betting and real money on the triumphs and downfalls of Dota 2 eSports teams. For the most part, bettors are placing their wagers at established sportsbooks dedicated to online eSports gambling. Higher viewer numbers also lead to a sort of impatience during the limbo between major events, opening the sluicegates for incipient tournaments. In other words, gamblers move farther out like early settlers on a new continent, in search of new betting grounds. This leads to the point where the majority of bettors begins following Tier 3 and Tier 4 teams, which are obscure, and therefore an informed Dota 2 bet requires dedication, which translates into more viewings. A cool vicious circle, for a want of a better word.
In seriousness, Dota (2) has only been too happy to jump on the betting wagon. The game started out small on GosuGamers, an online media dedicated to covering eSports. GosuGamers not so much pioneered as propagate a version of wagering with virtual currency known as ‘tangoes’. This was later adopted and expanded upon by Valve, the creators of Dota 2, who introduced the so-called skins for their popular first person shooter (FPS) Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) in August, 2013. Dota 2 went its own way offering its fans a way of decking out their toons in one’s best bib and tucker, according to purchasing power.
But skins, as they are referred to, spurred a betting industry so vast that even legislation became leery of its implications and was quick to suspect jiggery-pokery. By one estimate, wagers placed in skins 2016 would have been worth $7.4bn, had it not been for Valve’s decision to put the smackdown on ‘illegal gambling’. Some $550m in cash wagers would have been placed, too, over the same period.
One of the major websites for Dota 2 betting was hit amid the flurry of excitement that seized Valve and detractors accused the company of facilitating (undearaged) gambling.
Dota 2 betting today is not exclusively contingent upon skins, but we would be remiss not to go in detail about this aspect of wagering. Items and skins make for an easy exchange currency and one that betting enthusiast part rather more easily with then, say, hard earned money. Items are a good way of breaking in the rookie gambler and introducing them to the eSports Dota 2 betting dimensions. To the enthralled novice, the risk is negligible and the promise of wearing pretty vests and brandishing beautiful swords and staves is particularly tantalizing.
Coin flip (5.59%) – Players bet skins on the flip of a virtual coin.
However, the realities of skin gambling today are a tad bleaker. On July 13, Valve issued cease and desist letters to the flagships of the Dota 2 skin betting community, DOTA2Lounge and its kin CSGOLounge. Both websites decided to introduce virtual coin bets instead, and at the beginning of 2017 DOTA2Lounge announced the introduction of a funding programme intended to offset the consequences of the betting saga.
A quick aside here, the argument against the twin sites was that they facilitated underage betting, which was partly substantiated when raucous parents sues Valve after their kids had lost thousands in dollars. While betting with skin may be starting to fade from the limelight, and no signs of recovery are on the cards. Still, it would be too soon to flick the light on the Lounges and their ilk.
Match Winner – Bettors wager on the outcome of a match or a tournament within these matches. It is the most common type of bets offered on even the most rudimentary of sportsbooks.
Over/Under – Gamblers bet on the length of a particular game as the length predictions made by the bookies can usually tell you how competitive a match is going to be.
Live betting – Dota 2 has all the trappings to have such type of betting. Live betting is usually on during some of the grandest tournaments out there, to wit The International which has captivated the attention of gamers and punters alike.
The best Dota 2 betting websites out there are usually the ones that have a good variety of eSports to bet on already. Those venues, which often tempt the gods of legality, are well-frequented by punters and occasional enthusiasts alike.
Items betting may be waning, but money wagers continue to be placed and claimed throughout the intricate web of sportsbooks. More bookies are making tentative efforts to legalize this type of gambling as eSports are far from reaching their full earning potential.
DOTA2Lounge is however not the bad guy. Still, the website’s credibility took a big hit and partly dissuaded the laic society of bettors from wagering, proving to be a bit too messy when Valve actually stepped in.
How popular is Dota 2 according to Alexa Traffic Ranks. The site’s visits have been in a downturn trend since October 2016.
This overview of the betting industry in terms of websites actually sums up the trends in this burgeoning phenomenon. Item Betting Sites being hit today, are slated to lose their popularity. The vast majority of Dota 2 bettors will continue to flock to sportsbooks which offer real money odds, and crypto currencies will rear their heads shyly. Meanwhile, virtual betting sites will tread carefully, and focus on other aspects of the game, such as reporting events and providing added value coverage. And it is only natural that a few websites will play their rightful act as the underbelly of Dota 2 betting.
In passing, we ought to mention the fantasy eSports which was supported until recently by Vulcun and AlphaDraft, but both sites took heavy blows from US gambling watchdogs which had moved in to prosecute them over the two website’s alleged involvement in abetting gambling. At the end, Vulcun announced it is phasing out its fantasy league, and so a tempting and immensely original side of Dota 2 betting was sent into oblivion.
You know that eSports Dota 2 has become a real thing after watching a tournament, which is beamed to million people around the world, with professional commentators dressed in suites cracking the indispensable bad jokes that crown any sports event.
The Dota 2 professional competition scene is far from being mature. In fact, the game is changing so much so that Dota 2 may preserve its vim and vigour for years to come as it battles out difficult odds and tries to obtain approval from a larger group of people, a process that is already afoot.
Projects about eSports betting have been made since realization dawned on the faces of serious media such as Forbes and a handful of market research that this is going to be a well-heeled industry. Heck, Forbes even wrote a how-to piece on investing in electronic sports and teams breaking the whole shebang for would-be investors.
Dota 2 is however the godfather of eSports and gambling on eSports as we know it today. StarCraft II has long been cable TV in South Korea, but Dota 2 laid the groundwork for today’s intricate network of eSports, as we know it at least.
Grand events commanding handsomely generous awards to the tune of $23m have had the public in a state of enthrallment. In 2015, Eilers Research estimated that overall $23bn will be placed in wagers on eSports by 2020. God almighty, that is a lot!
Dota 2 has been a powerhouse for electronic sports through the world’s most attractive and respected tournament dedicated to the game – The International.
The Dota Major Championships – an event backed by Valve intended at adding to the popularity of the game as an electronic sport.
The Summit – And beyond… This tournament has been one of the major Dota 2 events trending heavily on joinDOTA, Dota 2’s go-to page when the game first debuted. joinDOTA has of course remained a leader in the community ever since it was introduced.
Tournaments and prize pools are constantly on the up, with no respite in site. Starting small, The International in 2011 offered $1m to winners, today participants vie for a total of $23m, and the sums are slated to increase next year. All the more glad tiding for Dota 2 betting and electronic sports as a whole.
Video games are rather a silly métier, no doubt about that. Parents look sternly at their children, society dismisses people who commit to them. So, Ben “Wu” Merlini a professional Dota 2 player, commentator a biomedical engineering graduate thought he’d get a degree first, grab a proper job, and then just leave it all for the more tempting prospect of ploying his craft as a gamer.
Dota 2 betting will only augment its popularity in coming years. Look at Amazon’s acquisition of Twitch.tv for almost $1bn in ready cash. Such is the popularity of services as Twitch.tv, beaming eSports events to coveting spectators that they are beginning to rival traditional media in terms of revenues and subscription.
Dota 2 betting and eSports will only grow in size and popularity, dwarfing their more physical brethren, sports, and humbling the majority of detractors. Listen and you will hear the steady march of a future where professional gamers are hailed as gods.
