Who can’t benefit from seeing the world through a different lens and getting a new lease on life?

Lately, my focus is finding the metaphor in everything, and spring is loaded with them. Take the ubiquitous gardening metaphor. The basics include choosing the plants, cleaning the soil, and planting seeds. Fertilizers, water, and sun will nourish and sustain it, and unsurprisingly, there will be weeds to pull out. Your garden’s success works in concert with you and the environment, providing a sense of accomplishment, pride and beauty for all to enjoy. Keeping a well-conditioned mind is like tending a garden. We clear the mind of old beliefs and attitudes, choose our ideas and focus on planting the seeds of positive thinking. We use love, encouragement, and gratitude to neutralize our negative and toxic thoughts. A healthy mental attitude depends on partnering with a power greater than ourselves, as disciplining the mind often requires support. With a positive attitude, we will feel happier including those around us.

So since every new season is about change, and your home is a reflection of you, here are fourteen ideas and metaphors to help clear the way for this moment of rebirth:

1. Open your windows to let in fresh spring air. Feel the warmth of the sun pouring in. Metaphor: Clearing stale, negative air with others creates more space and energy in your life.

2. To brighten up your rooms, get rid of those heavy, dark curtains and drapes. Metaphor: Hiding behind your fears prevents the light of who you are from shining.

3. Eliminate tolerances, that is, the things that you are putting up with and that cause you stress. Metaphor: Let go of the people, places, and situations that drain your energy.

4. Go through your winter clothes and give away anything that doesn’t fit you, makes you feel less than fabulous, or is too small for you. Metaphor: Release anything that no longer serves your highest good.

5. Handling anything, including clutter, is best handled if it is broken down into manageable tasks. The less busy a room looks, the more you see. Metaphor: Just for today, know that you can handle anything. Strive to remember that less is more in almost every area of ​​your life.

6. Before giving away material goods, thank them and bless them for serving you. Metaphor: Release toxic people from your life with love and gratitude, because they have taught you something you needed to learn about yourself.

7. Organizing and cleaning each room is a free way to remove chaos from your home. Metaphor: To invite more calm into your life, cleanse the mind/body/spirit by getting rid of internal baggage such as unresolved grievances, self-imposed obligations, and old beliefs.

8. The way we do anything is the way we do everything. See if you are having trouble making changes at home that would make your life easier, calmer, and less stressful. Metaphor: Where, how and what are you resisting in your life that can prevent you from moving forward?

9. Change will keep your relationships fresh and exciting. Make your living space reflect the love you want by adjusting your surroundings accordingly. Metaphor: Immutability in life is death to our spirit. To change what surrounds us, we have to change.

10. Keep fresh cut flowers. Appreciate their beauty, feel their calming presence, and enjoy them while they last. Metaphor: Allow yourself to feel the gift of life and fill your heart with goodness. Accept that everything changes and ends.

11. Be proactive about nourishing your body. Preparing your own food allows you to be aware of exactly what is in it. Metaphor: We are responsible for what we feed our mind and soul.

12. Give your front door a fresh coat of paint. Revive your rooms with a touch of new color. Swap out those sheets, blankets, and cushions for lighter, brighter colors. Move things around to make a room look different. Metaphor: lift your spirits with a new hairstyle. Use a color that you have never used before. Set your mood free with laughter, a whimsical attitude, and more fun. Changing your mind also changes your perspective.

13. Take a break from the TV, the phone, and the computer. The sheer amount of information these days leaves us with little room to process anything. Metaphor: Decompress by finding a way to center yourself every day.

14. Notice how you feel when you enter your house. What needs to be changed? Is it messy? Does it represent your tastes or someone else’s? Metaphor: Ask yourself, “How do I want to improve my relationship with myself? What internal baggage do I carry with me? Am I living an authentic life?

You see people carrying and using an Apple iPad. Maybe you stopped at a store display and played with one. It’s too small for a computer and too big for a smartphone.

· Where does it fit?

· Will it replace your laptop?

· Where does it shine?

· Where does it fail?

Read on, researcher or curious reader, and you’ll discover the important things you need to know about the iPad.

The 10 things you should know about the iPad

1. iPad is great for photos and movies: Show off your family photos (just don’t invite me to the 4-hour family photo shoot!) and your masterpieces on iPad. Scroll through them with a flick or blink of your finger. How satisfying is that. Also, when you get an iPad, you also need to get a cheap stand (there’s a link at the bottom of this site) so you can watch Netflix and downloaded movies. Your next plane trip will not be the same; HD movies on your lap. Zone out!

2. The speed of the zero standby state. This almost computer is amazing. Apps open in the blink of an eye, and browsing the web in Safari is surprisingly fast. Don’t wait for the iPad… it’s waiting for you. Early reviewers commented on how fast the iPad would be, and Randy Johnson is fast. The processor handles everything in the menu very quickly.

3. iPad and apps. Apple’s iPad can take the apps that iPhone users love and are familiar with and then download and run them just fine. This is what iPad does right out of the box. But it can be very exciting for you to know that there will be a huge selection of new apps created specifically for the iPad. It can become a rich experience for you. There can also be live video, scores, highlights and more all on screen at once. The possibilities seem endless.

4 Hmm, great maps! This part of the iPad is very impressive. When you search for a location or a friend’s house, the person’s location is displayed on the map. You can use your contacts page to drag and drop them onto the map search, and the street view is great. I can even see myself standing in front of my old home. Cool. The iPad has GPS and picks up your current location and shoots you in the right direction from there. There are satellite, terrain, road and hybrid views. Since you’ll be taking your iPad with you wherever you go, the Maps feature will come in handy, especially if you travel a lot.

5. Keep an eye out for high-quality competitors. There are other internet-enabled pads that cost less and are quite nice. The HP Slate, which was announced in 2010, is expected to be very popular and priced lower than the iPad. Another example is the Vega ICD which will come out this year with a huge 15.6″ touch screen and 32GB of internal storage. The latest example of many is the Archos 9, it runs Windows 7 and has an 8.9″ touch screen with 1080p HD resolution and a 60GB hard drive. Yes, Techies, there will be some awesome competition!

6. The on-screen keyboard. This is good and bad. I initially tried the iPad in the store. I had problems with the on-screen keyboard. But since my first meeting I have learned that there is no kinetic feedback to my fingers, so I let the other senses take over. Afterwards, the keyboard worked as expected, being very responsive and entering text quickly. It’s still nothing like typing on a real keyboard, but the iPad’s virtual QWERTY keyboard isn’t as terrible as I and others once feared. The automatic error correction handles small errors quite well. You can always invest in Apple’s $79 iPad Keyboard Dock. That is more ordinary and more traditional.

7. Speakers not suitable for audiophiles. In fact, they are neither Bose nor Harman/Kardon. In my opinion, the speakers sound tinny. Being a movie/media/MP3/music creation motto, the built-in speakers are disappointing. There are also attachable speakers and file transfer, but we shouldn’t have to. Hey Bose, now that’s a good idea!

8. It has a shiny front Oh, it looks so good. sparkling and sparkling. Indoors it works great for just about anything. Then, you go out into the sunlight. So the brightness is not great. Fingerprints come to life and where did the movie, the book, the picture or the internet go? A matte glass option would be nice, or even a plastic cover. Have you ever seen the Kindle commercial where the woman with the expensive sunglasses makes the guy with an iPad look dumb? Well, that’s true, but get that smart woman inside, THEN that guy could teach you the functions of her iPad.

9. For Children, The Well Behaved, Thought. Is the iPad as fragile as it seems? You could go to ToysRUs and find a thousand kid pads, but this one is the brightest, the coolest, and mom and dad play with it, and the kids love it. Our teens seem to fly through it and pick up on games and apps quicker than me. They love to do their homework on it (they are homeschooled and want to use the iPad for all their work except writing their papers).

10. It’s an email, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Skype computer when you don’t have a computer. Go ahead, head out to a meeting, vacation in another city or country and you can easily stay in touch with the office, family and friends with iPad. Can you imagine the color your friends on Facebook would change if you posted from Florence, Italy, or from Santo Tomas, or from the Grand Canyon? Take notes and more. Stay in touch wherever you go, as long as you pay the monthly data usage fee. If you’re in danger of going over your 250mg or 2GB limit, they’ll contact you and give you options. If you are not online 24/7, then you should agree to those limits.

Now that you know the basics, can you answer this question: is the iPad right for you? You know it’s not really a working laptop. It won’t really replace your laptop, but it seems like it’s the missing link between your Droid and your laptop.

The Internet is a generic tool in that no other form of your data exists in the universe, so the information you provide in Russia or Kenya is similar to the rest of the world despite its translation into various languages. Internet connections on cell phones, desktop computers, laptops, and now tablets called iPads and Galaxy from major manufacturers have created an overwhelming impact on information technology.

Business transactions have become more convenient thanks to the Internet. Due to its accessibility, large commercial entities choose to advertise through it for the launch and promotion of certain products, upload information through it about market share, reviews, benefits and others, seeking money from consumers. Known as Internet marketing, it has provided an inexpensive means of advertising that targets a wide group of audiences in such a short time to and from all points of the world. However, potential buyers face a number of limitations. Unlike buying or shopping in commercial establishments where the purchase of such items is based on the perspectives of the buyers, shopping online does not guarantee satisfaction since the limitations regarding how it feels, tastes, smells or is not experienced. a product is adjusted.

The Internet is considered a portal of unlimited knowledge and is a preferred tool in research activities by students and teachers better than books and the library. Over the years since its invention, library patrons and transactions have declined, and its decline is well documented. In 2002-2004, a large-scale study of university and academic libraries in the United States was conducted and revealed that the reference transaction decreased by 4.5 percent per year. Known as digital libraries, the Internet through search engines like Google and Yahoo provide information in seconds. Even though it is sometimes unreliable compared to libraries, the Internet is preferred due to its fast access.

Communication has improved dramatically thanks to the Internet, as Skype and Yahoo Messenger led to interactive communication where both parties see each other on the computer monitor. In addition, Internet providers have partnered with various cell phone companies for additional services such as SMS and Internet access, turning cell phones into Internet kiosks. Data, communication letters, images, documents and more can be sent, retrieved, stored and downloaded in seconds via emails and other social media compared to days with messaging services. In addition to being profitable, the Internet has provided a convenient, fast, and useful tool for communication.

The decrease in the use of the services of advertising companies, libraries and telephones is inevitable, since computers are a multitasking, cost-effective and time-efficient tool that is unmatched by other devices. In time, it is not far from the truth that libraries, telephones, and other public services will disappear because of computers.

The number of news reports highlighting the potential risks and pitfalls of artificial intelligence would lead companies to believe that the average person distrusts AI, but it turns out the answer is more nuanced than that. As Artificial Intelligence advances, customers are learning more about the role it will play in their personal and professional lives. Many of the above assumptions are being proven wrong, and some are still under debate.

Most people have an apprehension when it comes to AI: They fear that humans will lose their jobs to RPA and intelligent machines en masse. It turns out that for most people, this is not a major concern. There are countless tasks that computers can do with greater precision and efficiency than a human being. Most of these elements, such as large-scale data entry, are not tasks that humans particularly engage in in the first place.

According to a 2016 Harvard Business Review report, most customers have a favorable opinion of using AI in business. However, HBR states that the positive outlook largely depends on its previous encounters with artificial intelligence and the ability of companies to implement AI in a way that brings real benefits to the consumer.

Quality Control: Most customers have fallen victim to the margin of human error. People get tired, make mistakes, and miss important details. Once customers understand that AI removes a large percentage of the margin for error, they tend to be in favor of adopting machine learning technology and software. Many companies already use machine learning software that improves the customer experience and provides greater peace of mind.

Repetition, not competition: Customers view intelligent automation favorably when they know it’s the ideal tool for performing repetitive tasks that most people don’t do or physically can’t do efficiently. This clears up any misconceptions of AI as a replacement for all roles. The HBR states that while there will be some replacement of human roles, it is not enough to scare customers off, especially when they understand the nature of machine learning and its place in the workflow.

Improving human life: According to another Harvard Business Review report, artificial intelligence is now being used to improve cancer treatment and scientific research. Companies are harnessing the power of cognitive technology and machine learning software to fight disease and solve global problems. While the fields are still in their infancy, customers and people everywhere welcome initiatives that seek to combat these problems and eradicate them from the land.

While the headlines make it seem like AI is not a welcome concept for customers, it turns out that opinions can’t be oversimplified. They are weighing the pros and cons of AI in their lives and seem to be leaning towards the use of AI. As long as companies efficiently communicate the benefits and apply the technology where it can have an impact, consumers will continue to see artificial intelligence as a positive development.

Leaving Cusco by private bus, we enter the Sacred Valley. Making a stop in Pisaq to experience its delicious and well-known market for shopping and lunch, we continue on to Ollantaytambo.

You can only pronounce that word by carefully pronouncing the syllables, and you can only appreciate this town by settling in for a few days and walking the rustic, cobblestone streets. Located in the mountains that rise from the floor of the Sacred Valley, it is the gateway to Machu Picchu and the start of the Inca Trail that takes hikers approximately four days to traverse on their way to the ancient monument. The town of Ollantaytambo is geared up for the adventurer and feels similar to a college town in the 1960s (at least to me!). Shops sell adventure gear and sunglasses, and restaurants sell affordable, hearty hot meals and refreshing cold beer. The sun is strong and the air is fresh.

There are ruins to explore here and it is a perfect setting to take a moment, or a couple of days, to prepare your energy and thoughts for the journey to Machu Picchu.

Our group met a skilled shaman named Don Victor. In Spanish, “Don” is a title of respect rather than a name, a fact that comes in handy when you start to wonder why there are so many people with the same name. Don Victor gathered our group and took us to a private sanctuary called “The Garden of Illumination” to participate in a moving and healing ceremony.

Entering the property through a gate along the driveway, with only headlamps and flashlights to guide us, we find ourselves in a courtyard. We had been told that our ceremony would start in a sweat lodge and then move to a garden, however, because it was the summer solstice, the sweat lodge was being used by their home group. We made our way along paths, winding between giant cacti and foliage, and multiple paths that led to smaller gardens, to an open area on top of a hill. There we settled on the blankets we had brought, forming a semicircle around an area designated for campfires.

Don Víctor’s assistants began to bring firewood and rushes of herbs, flowers and plants for the fire. Soon, the warmth of the fire took away the chill of being outside in the winter season in the mountains of South America.

For the next five hours – until 3:00 in the morning – we would watch the fire burn and recede, we would meditate, we would witness the moon rising over the Andes with Venus in tow, we would gaze at the southern hemisphere night sky (disorientingly different from the northern ). sky) and be part of the intense activities of deep shamanic healing work. It was a memorable and life changing experience. And all I can say is that you would have to experience it for yourself as it cannot be adequately described.

So, did you see Beyonce’s flawless performance at Coachella/Glastonbury/SuperBowl (the list goes on) and feel inspired? You’re not alone. Considered one of the best artists of our generation, if not THE BEST, Beyonce is impressive. Whether you’re a fan of her music or not, her consistency and perfectionism deserve respect. Her level of success seems a bit daunting and unattainable, but aside from a superior sense of rhythm, she has no superpowers. So in case you ever decide to put in that job, I’ve done a little research on what it takes to get up to her level. If you’re wondering how long it’s going to take, Beyonce Giselle Knowles’ quest for stardom began 18 years ago. So if you’re 30 now, follow her techniques and you could be headlining festivals at 48. Fun!

Step 1. Practice more than everyone else.

From the age of 9, Beyoncé began training in the performing arts and her dedication was evident early on. Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland recalls a young Beyoncé staying up until 4 a.m. the night before first concerts, perfecting routines and performing tasks as menial as fixing a wardrobe button. Ella’s sister Solange also recalls the star perfecting a single line from a song in her bedroom over and over again, all night long. When she was working on music with Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé would get into the studio before anyone else, she would sing all the vocals on the songs and mix them. Her bandmates would come in and fill in for her voice.

“The truth is that it is a lot of sacrifice. It is more about your mental strength than your physical strength.” – Beyonce

Step 2. Focus on the end goal.

Take a second to imagine that your parents “run” you. No matter how much you love or respect them, there will undoubtedly be times when you want to cut ties. Three of the early members of Destiny’s Child left the band because they couldn’t deal with Matthew Knowles. I imagine Beyoncé would have found it even more difficult to deal with him, with her being more emotionally involved in the disagreements. However, she knew that Matthew and her methods could help her get to where she needed to be. Her ability to detach emotionally and focus on the end goal proved invaluable when it came to writing and delivering ‘Lemonade’. She channeled her battles into her music and sold millions of albums as a result.

“It’s very liberating to really know what I want, what really makes me happy, what I’m not going to put up with. I’ve learned that taking care of myself is nobody’s job but me.” -Beyonce

Step 3. Get fit.

It’s fair to say that our Beyonce is quite athletic. Her concerts last about 3 hours, so if you want to be fit enough to survive, you’ll need to think about increasing your workouts to at least 3 hours. To stay in shape offstage, Beyoncé gets tough by boxing and swinging big, heavy ropes. If you’re proud of your ability to do push-ups… Beyonce does ‘explosives’. Which are pretty much the same thing, but when you press up, you have to push your hands on top to “jump” an inch above the ground. Her trainer suggests doing 4 sets of 8-10 reps (something to work on). In addition to strength, she works out on a treadmill for cardio, alternating a one-minute sprint with two minutes of brisk walking for 30 minutes at a time.

“I teach my body every day that I can go a little further… I know what it is capable of, I have seen it before in miracles.” – Beyonce

Step 4. Research.

How did Beyoncé prepare for that legendary Super Bowl halftime show? Watching every halftime show ever and taking notes. She set a clear intention to replicate what had worked in the past and avoid what hadn’t.

Step 5. Trust your own opinion (but don’t expect others to).

When she first parted ways with Destiny’s Child, Beyonce’s record label initially didn’t want to release her first solo album because they believed there were no hits on the album. The album sold 11 million copies and included ‘Crazy in Love’.

“Everyone in my life has a different purpose and a different ear and a different kind of advice. But I have to make the decisions…” -Beyoncé

Step 5. Guard your reputation fiercely.

Famously private, the singer has covered Vogue before without saying a single word in the magazine. Everything she posts on social channels is strategically planned. Beyoncé has a clearly defined image of herself and wants to protect it at all costs. She even hires her own paparazzi and employs a brand manager.

Step 6. Work like you have no reputation.

She is relentless. In each performance she has something to prove and sees each one as important as the last. In Beyoncé’s world you are only as good as your last performance. This refusal to get comfortable is something that very few artists commit to on the same level.

“I can never be sure; I always try to go against the grain. As soon as I achieve one thing, I just set myself a higher goal. That’s how I got to where I am.” – Beyonce

Step 7. Use your ‘I’ time.

A slightly unusual habit the star developed is recording her thoughts in a video diary, “when I’m away, and I’m alone, and I need to talk and I need to heal. Because you have so many thoughts… your mind… It’s my diary. ” Like many world-class professionals, she practices meditation, waking up an hour before Jay and Blue to pray and meditate. Doing this first thing in the morning allows the singer to be ready and present with her family when they are awake.

Y Step 8. Practice the art of visualization.

Sacha Fierce was a creation that allowed Beyonce to act more boldly when playing a role. She saw very clearly who she wanted to be and created herself.

“I felt it was time to shape my future, so I set a goal for myself. My goal was independence.” – Beyonce

And there you have it. The steps to be the absolute best of a modern queen. Remember, you have the same number of hours in a day as Beyoncé.

Since its introduction to the world of video games, back in the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog has been (along with Nintendo’s Mario) one of the most popular and enduring characters in video game history. Sonic was created to compete with Mario, and to be Sega’s flagship character, and boy, did he ever top his achievements? Over 70 million Sonic games have been sold, with over 10 million downloads since they first became available online in 2006.

super sonic
Sonic is, as Sega says, the fastest hedgehog in the world. He has long spikes growing from the back of his head and is the same blue color as the Sega logo. Sonic has the ability to curl up into a ball (or spin) and then take off in an explosive burst of speed. As with some of the hedgehogs in the animal kingdom, Sonic can’t swim; in fact, he sinks like a stone every time he finds his way into deep water (although he can use his Sonic speed to jump across the surface for a short distance).

media sensation
Sonic the Hedgehogas a marketing device, along with his ever-present fox-friend Tails, he has paid dividends for Sega time and time again. Animated TV shows, comic books, and a major movie are among Sonic’s multimedia appearances. He was even the first video game character to be caricatured by a float in the Rose Parade and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The rapid expansion of online PC gaming gave Sega a new avenue of distribution. Although many of the downloads are free, they are a great way for players to get to know Sonic before investing in the many versions of Sonic the Hedgehog.Sonic the Hedgehog that are on the market. Gone are the 2-D days of 1991; Today’s Sonic is faster than ever, with more characters, intriguing storylines and challenges that bring out the best in Sonic and his can-do attitude.

When looking for quality and affordable VOIP service, it is sometimes difficult to know which VOIP provider to choose. Everyone claims to be the best thing since sliced ​​bread or canned beer, but how do you separate the marketing hype from the reality?

The first thing to look at is your high-speed Internet connection at home. Keep in mind that the VOIP provider has absolutely no control over the quality or reliability of your high-speed Internet connection, even though any VOIP service is highly dependent on the stability and reliability of that connection. If your home cable or DSL service isn’t strong, stable, and reliable, you won’t be happy with any VOIP service you get at any price, regardless of brand.

When comparing different VOIP providers, you should look at the features that they offer with the service. Features are another category where VOIP providers stand out by a wide margin over traditional phone services. VOIP providers offer many features that regular landline carriers charge extra or may not offer at all. Standard features include things like making unlimited calls to other users of the same VOIP provider, making unlimited calls locally and within the US, caller ID, and voicemail. They may offer other features as well, but make sure you don’t pay more for features you’ll only use once every blue moon.

VOIP providers have been implementing “enhanced 911” or E911 where calls are routed to a 911 network which is then connected to a local 911 dispatch center. With E911, emergency dispatchers can see the caller’s location and call-back numbers. If you’re considering a VOIP service that doesn’t offer Enhanced 911 services, run the other way, as it’s now a requirement in the US.

VOIP service can be very profitable for your home or small business. It uses your high-speed Internet connection to make and receive phone calls. But that comes with its own set of problems. For example, remember we talked earlier about the reliability of your high-speed Internet connection? That becomes even more important because if your high-speed Internet connection goes down, so does your ability to make and receive phone calls. Again, this is not a VOIP provider issue as they assume you already have a very reliable and stable internet connection.

If you live off the beaten track and the only high-speed Internet connection available to you is via satellite, don’t even think about VOIP. You’re not going to be happy because with today’s residential satellite technology, it’s just not fast enough to provide reliable VOIP service.

There is no arguing about the cost effectiveness of VOIP service. With a traditional phone line from the local phone company, you pay about $25 a month just for the dial tone. Now compare that to VOIP service, where for less than that, you also get unlimited long distance, voicemail, caller ID, and maybe other features too.

Ever wish there was some sort of ‘tutorial’ to introduce you to the world of soccer betting? It has become much easier and much more popular in the world of global communication that we live in. Now it’s possible for someone in the middle of the jungle with nothing but an internet connection to do detailed research on teams and players. It is also possible to place bets without leaving the comfort of our bedroom. We may be sitting at home watching a football game and doing research and placing bets on underpants at home.

Your cup mates talk sports all the time and occasionally place bets, talking big about their big ‘tip’ for the game, or are just gambling with their money, having placed bets with no basis beyond personal team preference and the player. That’s not a very good way to get a return on your money. Believe it or not, thanks to the same technology that has made the ability to study and bet on soccer more accessible, professional soccer players have also become more accessible than ever, as you can call them in to speak on your phone. instant messaging. from stomping down to the docks or meeting in bars.

If you are looking for soccer betting instructions, the first thing you need to know to do this as a professional is that you need to have a system that works. There is no shortage of football betting systems sold in the world, but most of them are scams or have serious flaws that can ruin your bank account if you are not careful.

Most professional soccer betting systems will want you to make a spread bet. I would advise against this as a hobbyist because that is where the big dogs play, but the money to be made is very attractive. You definitely want to work your way into spread betting, but make sure you’re comfortable with the way you’re doing it. If you have some money and get some great advice from a pro or discover something not widely reported in the press about the game, then maybe, just maybe, you have an edge that makes it worth betting on early on.

Don’t cut corners when choosing a soccer betting website to place your bets. It must be an online casino that has been in business for at least seven to eight years. You must be confident that the online casino will actually make the payment when you win. Look for all the usual security and disclaimers on the website of your choice because there are scammers out there looking to steal your money.

If I were to get started in the world of soccer betting today, I would take the following steps. First, I would choose a solid betting system, one with a long history that is not widely published for free, with proof that it works. Secondly, I would choose a solid online casino to place my bets on, by looking at the opinions of other punters. Avoid taking opinions from casino affiliates as they are in charge of seducing you to the casino they work for. Lastly, I would sign up with a professional soccer betting advice service to save time and reduce risk in running my system. This is how the professionals do it, and this is how you and I should do it.
