James: Now who could possibly hope to fill in for Matt Peake? Well, the Answer is Ryb Adam: Some say he's the "Bad-boy" of the group James: You're saying that for most of them, but okay. Adam: I just like my boys naughty James: Last but not least, we have Jacob. He's kinda the "Dream-boat" of Funhaus Adam: Absolutely James: So who have we gotten to fill in for him, from cloud9 Adam: I believe his name is pronounced: Roolf James: Roolf https://location-saisonniere-marseille.com/iconic-esports-moments-dyrus-retirement-speech-worlds-2015-lol/? Adam: Roolf. James: Well it looks like we have two dreamboats here today. Adam: One filling in for the other.
Which one is which? You decide. James: Jacob is the curly hair, he's got the curly hair Adam: Now you've seen the entire Funhaus team, and their lineup, now let's check out Achievement Hunter *booing* and a fart noise Adam: And, we're done. *more sports music* James: We are away, and a hotly anticipated, this event has been on the books for quite some time, but it's just never come to fruition Adam: Some may remember about a year and a half ago, the scumbags: Achievement Hunter, cheated in a little game called "Smite" Adam: And in order to wreak retribution, Funhaus has enlisted the help of an entire Pro Esports team, Cloud9 James: I'll tell you right now Adam, no one remembers that. So, it's a good thing you reminded them. Adam: I forget things often, usually in my sleep James: So it appears "not" Funhaus, has decided to go all Soldier Adam: It is a strange concept here, someone forgot to turn on quick-play competitive settings and Cloud9 just went full gangbusters with it, James James: For the sake of it, Let's call them "Funhaus" Adam: Funhaus... nine James: Because they are playing on Funhaus' accounts James: Woah, someone went down there, Achievement Hunter's (note: Achievement Hunter will be called AH from now on) making a move in there and got the jump on them. Adam: If you keep a close eye here, Michael plays Reaper... completely wrong James: Okay Adam: Much the same way Gavin plays Reinhardt totally wrong James: Oh no. They are getting completely slaughtered there, looks like the Soldiers are pushing out there James: Now Soldier, a character not known for his health Adam: Not at all, no. Adam: He's easily killable by pretty much every other character they're (AH) playing as James: Symmetra, also not generally an offensive character. They are getting slaughtered here, as they come out of their spawn James: They had no idea. Looks like simultaneous Ults from Funhaus, just slaughtering the whole team Adam: I'm getting some inside info, ah, AH doesn't normally play Overwatch, Adam: so its very interesting that they went with the new character Sombra, that they know absolutely nothing about Adam: And was killed immediately right out of their spawn James: It is funny to think that they agreed to do this at all. Adam: It is Strange. James: Jack, pulling out the gun there, trying something different, you know, when all else fails sometimes you gotta take the violence into your own hands Adam: We call that battle Mercy, I don't think that a single member of AH has gotten their Ultimate Ability yet, James James: Oh its hard to tell, its really hard to tell because they probably would have just wasted it anyway Adam: It's really just a flock of seagulls, not the band, more like a group of birds just ravaging a group of men James: You never want to see your whole team get jumped like this, it's really just painful to watch - Sombra making a move for the point at the very last minute James: And did not take it Adam: No, Ryan trying out the new character Sombra, almost worked, Jack, don't know what the hell he was doing James: And that's all she wrote for round one, Funhaus wins on defense. Adam: Wow, what a first game there. James? James: There you have it, pretty commanding from Funhaus James: Interesting strategy going all Soldier, what do you think about that? Adam: I think these guys are here to play competitively, talking about Funhaus, and they came up with the best possible strategy, to do whatever the hell they wanted to. James: Mmm, I see, sometimes when you're just that good, it doesn't matter what 'comp' you set up with Adam: I believe one of the players was blindfolded. Let's take a look. Adam: We don't have footage of that? James: Don't know how we're going to show that Adam: And it looks like the players are set up to switcharoo, and, do the other thing James: They're moving in, it looks like we've got a Tracer. And Torbjorn's turret is already down. James: They have gone all Torb, on the AH side of things Adam: This is unheard of, for anyone to do this on PC, it's normally stupid. James: It's a strategy that always works none of the time Adam: Almost never since about 16 patches ago this has been a really really bad idea James: Genji himself is a pretty hard counter to Torbjorn and he is making short work of these turrents and these small dwarves. Adam: This is post Genji-nerf and Torbuff, it is strange that the AH people are having such a hard time Adam: That Round is over James: That's it, that's it, they only had to get the first point there and they've done it pretty quickly James: AH setting up on the second point.

Thinking about taking a bath with a donkey? Fancy getting drunk in a British pub? Well think again as these potentially harmless activities and many more could well land you in trouble with the long arm of the law. Laws of the land that may have made sense when first brought about, have a habit of sticking around, even if they have no real place in today’s society online casinos for usa players.
Add to those antiquated laws a few newer bizarre rules of the land that have found their way into the law books, and we have a truly bizarre set of world legislation. So what are some of the strangest laws that still remain on the books around the world? That’s what we’ll find out, in this episode of the Infographics Show, Strange Laws that Still Exist. Great Britain has some of the strangest laws in the world, some of which are broken every day. It is illegal, for example, to be drunk in a pub in the UK. How many thousands of Brits break that law every single day? It is also illegal to carry a plank of wood along the pavement, especially, one would imagine, after getting drunk in the pub. Not quite so bizarre is the stipulation that members of parliament in jolly old England are not allowed to wear a suit of armour in Parliament. But surely this law should have been updated by the lawmakers themselves while in Parliament, no? It is also highly illegal to handle a salmon in suspicious circumstances in England and Wales – and if there is an unsuspicious way to handle freshwater fish out of water, we’d love to see it. It is also an offence to beat or shake a carpet or rug, except if it’s a doormat, before 8am, in the UK. And if you’re an Englander, forget about dining on exotic waterfowl. Unless you happen to be the queen of England, it is illegal to eat a swan. Should you be pregnant in Britain, it is perfectly legal to spend a penny in a policeman’s hat – or in fact, anywhere else, should it be an emergency. And on a similar note, and on the subject of toilets, up in Scotland, if somebody knocks on your door asking to use the bog, you must, by law, let them inside and offer your bathroom. Also in Scotland - that bizarrely colorful land of haggis and bagpipes, there may be more to that folk tale about Scotsmen and their kilts. Ever wondered what exactly is beneath the famous tartan kilt? Well according to ancient legend - nothing! No underwear can be worn under the kilt, and according to an old law (or perhaps, to be fair, urban legend), if a Scotsman is found to be wearing underwear beneath his kilt, then he is routinely charged two beers by whoever discovered his non-commando status. Although we can’t confirm the exact legal standing of this law, it is too difficult to resist sharing. The USA also has its fair share of quirky laws. In Arizona, allowing your pet donkey to sleep in the bathtub is against the law. Placing salt on a railway track is an offence punishable by the death penalty in Birmingham. At first glance, this seems a tad harsh. But the reason is that the train could either derail or attract cattle onto the track, which could also result in a major derailment or at least a delay. So don’t go putting salt on the rails, kids. It’s also against the law to play a game of Frisbee without first acquiring the permission of a lifeguard in Los Angeles - although responsible frisbee throwing is, we are told, permitted. Soon after, Sobhraj’s temerity hit a high note when he decided he was going to drug and rob a whole busload of French students he had befriended, only the drugs started taking effect too quickly and they started dropping like flies in the Vikram Hotel in Delhi. They knew it was Sobhraj who had spiked their food and he was wrestled to the ground. Police soon arrived. India’s best police investigator was put on the case and the investigation was a long one. He said Sobhaj was impervious to questioning, never mind how long it went on for.
He was eventually charged in 1977 of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and charges of drugging and robbing. He was to serve 12 years. It’s said inside he lived a life of luxury, bribing guards to receive 5-star treatment. It’s said officials and convicts treated with him respect and fear. He gave interviews with journalists around the world and was paid large amounts of money for it. In India he had become known as a kind of boogeyman, a guy that had almost superpowers. He had many female admirers in jail, who would do their work for him on the outside. In fact, throughout his time in many prisons, women all over the world would fall for him. Only after serving ten years in Delhi, and soon to be released, his 20-year Thai arrest warrant still meant he could be tried for murder and executed in Thailand. So, on Sunday March 16 1986 he threw a huge party in the prison with lots of tasty food he had ordered in. Only it was laced with 820 sleeping pills. When Sobhraj walked out of the jail, it’s said the guards were sleeping against their rifles. He was soon recaptured in India and his sentence was extended for 10 years, which was exactly what he had hoped for. Thailand was a death sentence. He was released in 1997 and he returned to France a celebrity. The statute of limitations meant he was no longer wanted in Thailand. In France, he was offered $15 million for his story so it might be turned into a movie. He was a rich man, even though an incorrigible thief and serial killer. His luck came to an end, though, when he visited Nepal in 2003. The authorities arrested him, and he was later charged with the murder of two backpackers in the 70s. He denied this and said the evidence was flimsy, but he was sentenced anyway. He told journalist Tom Vater while in the Nepali jail, “I have never been to Nepal before. This is a huge miscarriage of justice. I am unlucky to have been arrested in a country where the law is as archaic as the prison I am held in.” It didn’t matter. He was convicted of another murder as well in 2014. He married in jail and it’s thought still lived well, but it looks like he is staying there. “What makes a man a murderer?' he once pondered after being asked that question. “Either they have too much feeling and cannot control themselves, or they have no feelings. It is one of the two,” he replied. Perhaps he was the latter. He also said, “I can justify the murders to myself. I never killed good people.” In another interview he said, “If I have ever killed, or have ordered killings, then it was purely for reasons of business, just a job, like a general in the army.” In yet another interview he told a writer, “I have already taken from the past what is best for me, what helps me live in the present and prepare for the future. If I play back a murder, it will be to see what I have learned from the method. I won't even notice the body.” In a 1983 interview with journalist Richard S Ehrlich, Sobhraj’s former French-Canadian lover Ms. Leclerc, then months away from dying of cancer, said, “I stayed with Sobhraj because I had no passport, no money, and did not speak English then. I consider Sobhraj a man who is sick.” During our research for this show, we spoke to Ehrlich online. He told us when he interviewed Sobhraj during his incarceration in Delhi's Tihar jail, he found the man to be, “strangely likeable but totally terrifying.” He added, “Sobhraj also gave me copies of his letters to then-prime minister Indira Gandhi, and his signature is a strangled, tightly coiled whirlpool.” It’s generally thought Charles killed between 12 and 20 people, but who knows how many mysterious deaths he could have been behind during his decades long crime spree across the world. There’s another side of him, too. It’s said in jail he would trick heavy-handed guards and somehow get them fired. It’s also said prisoners and wardens obeyed him. On the other hand, some media reports said he gives money to the children of poor inmates and even guards that are underpaid. To this day he’s not allowed any unsupervised visits and under no circumstances can he be sent to the prison hospital – doctors must go to his cell. Authorities still believe that even as an ageing man he has almost magical ways about him, and so they risk nothing. It’s a pity there hasn’t been a Hollywood movie about Sobhraj, but perhaps him being half-Indian Half-Vietnamese and fluent in seven languages – that he needed to perform his scams – as well as pretty much committing crimes all over Southern Asia, the Middle east and Europe, might pose some problems for filmmakers. So, tell us what you think about Charles Sobhraj? Is there anything that impresses you, given his numerous prison breaks, and how he deceived people for decades, his devotion to study and understanding the human mind? Or is he just another cold-blooded, calculated murderer like most of the rest of those serial killers? Let us know in the comments! Also, be sure to check out our full playlist about Serial Killers. Thanks for watching, and as always, don't forget to like, share and subscribe. See you next time! At the same time Charles and an Indian accomplice named Ajay Chowdhury had graduated to murdering tourists. These were mainly young, impressionable backpackers who were later found strangled, stabbed, and sometimes burned. One couple it’s said was burned alive. Their passports and valuables were always taken. But some of those people sitting ill in Charles house had begun to smell a rat.
They’d stopped taking the pills Charles was giving them for their stomach problems and miraculously they got better. At one point, some of the victims at the house had even seen passports of the missing people, further arousing their suspicions that their landlord might be a serial killer. It’s said one of the girls at the house even went to the British embassy to complain, but the hippy girl was ignored. This would later be an embarrassment for the British. The victims then left the house while Charles was on criminal business away, which would be a surprise to him when he returned. They all knew they had likely escaped being murdered. He continued stealing and killing, even killing an Israeli scholar just for his passport when he was in India. Some reports suggest money wasn’t always the objective, with one media report stating, “Sobhraj had begun to think of himself as a Nietzschean character, a criminal Superman who soared above everyone else's moral code.” He did it, because he could. Charles took a business trip to Malaysia with Ajay Chowdhury around this point. Chowdhury was never seen again. It seems Charles had had enough of his right-hand man. He had outlived his usefulness. At the same time Dutch embassy diplomat Herman Knippenberg was investigating the case of the two Dutch tourists that were brutally murdered, and it led him to Sobhraj – only not that name, but an identity Sobhraj was working under - Alain Gautier. “It was all so easy for him. The murders, the deception, everything. He had got away with so much for so long that he believed he was invincible,” Knippenberg later told the press. The official put Thai police onto Sobhraj and told them to go to his apartment and check the safe, there they would find passports of murdered tourists. Only it seems Thai police just let Sobhraj go after capturing him. What happened remains a mystery; some say they let him go so as not to scare future tourists away from Thailand, others say Sobhraj handed a Thai police chief $15,000. This was the reason Sobhraj liked to work in such countries, of course, because officials were always open to a bribe. To this day not much has changed in Thailand. The Dutchman was livid, learning that Sobhraj had just walked out of the police station and off he went under a different name. One month later Knippenberg received permission to check the safe and there he found strong drugs that could send a person to sleep, and indeed, passports of murdered travelers as well as many others. Knippenberg later said the former owners of the other passports could also have been murdered. Finally, Thailand said it was on the case, this was now a matter of saving the country’s face. A little too late, one thinks. Back in India Sobhraj built a new family, consisting of two young attractive girls, British and American, called Barbara Smith and Mary Ellen Eather. His devoted French-Canadian girl was still at his side, too. We should say here that it’s thought none of this gang knew about the full extent of Sobhraj’s crimes. They would help him drug and rob tourists, though. Except this all came undone when one drugging went too far and a French man died. Beginner Baccarat: What to bet on, and why Hello again. I’m Max Stern and in this video I’m going explain the basics of Baccarat. Perhaps no other game so forcefully dramatizes the extreme and uncertain nature of the gambling experience than Baccarat.
You see, on one hand, Baccarat offers some of the lowest house edge bets of any other game on the floor. On the other hand, it incorporates some of the highest. For the uninitiated or untrained eye, all bets in Baccarat can seem equal. But… they’re not casino games Malaysia. Put simply: more house advantage equals more of a threat to your bankroll. And without bankroll, you can’t play. Here’s how Punto Banco Baccarat, which is the most popular variation of the game, works: You need to bet on one of three hands: • the Player, or Punto, hand, with a low house edge of 1.24% • the Banker, or Banco, hand, with an even lower house edge at 1.06% • the Tie bet, meaning that the Player hand and the Banker hand, are identical, with a house edge standing at a whopping 14.36%! It's important to realise that the player hand doesn't in any way refer to the player who is at the table. Nor does the banker hand refer to the house. They're just two different names for two different hands, and a gambler could bet on either one. So what's the difference between them? After all the bets have been made, the dealer will give two cards to each of the hands. The winning hand is the one with the highest single numerical value and is determined by a predefined procedure about when to draw more cards and when to stand. The total numerical value of a hand will always range between zero and nine inclusive. It's also impossible to bust on either hand. When calculating scores of a hand in double digits, only the second digit is taken into account. So, for instance, if the first two cards were a six and nine, then the total hand would come to 15. The first digital would be ignored, and five would count as the value of the hand. Different rules exist for each hand. Let's look at each of them separately: The Player hand For the player hand, a total of between zero and five (inclusive) requires that it draws a third card. A player hand with six or seven must stand, and a player with what is called a ‘natural’ eight or ‘natural’ nine will reveal their cards immediately. The player hand pays even money. The Banker hand The rules around the banker hand are substantially more complex. In many ways, the banker hand is directly dependent upon the actions of player hand in terms of whether or not to draw a third card. The banker hand procedures will work as follows: • If the player's third card is a two or three, then the banker must draw with a total of between zero and four, but must stand with a total of between five and seven • If the player's third card is a four or five, the banker must draw if he has a total of between zero and five, but must stand with a total of between six and seven • If the player has a third card total of between six and seven, the banker hand must draw if it has a total of between zero and six, but must stand with a total of seven • If the player's third card total is an eight, then the banker will only draw if he has a total of between zero and two, but must stand with a total of between three and seven. Finally, if the player's third card is an ace, nine, 10, or face card, the banker must draw if he has a total of between zero and three, and stand with a total of between four and seven. Like the player hand, the banker hand will pay even money. The Tie bet By making a tie bet, you're making a wager on the player hand and banker hand sharing an identical value. If you're lucky enough to win this type of bet, you'll enjoy an 8 to 1 payout. Our advice? Stick with either the player or banker hands. Although the tie bet can seem attractive based on its payout, you’ll be battling against a very high casino advantage. If you are a parent that is new to homeschool teaching, chances are that you want to make sure your child gets the proper testing after he or she has completed the required number of lessons. You have been following your homeschool teaching program with great diligence, but would like to go beyond some of the suggestions and try other forms of testing for your child. Thus, you would like some home school testing ideas
The first thing that you should realize when it comes to home school testing ideas, is that there is no one method that you absolutely have to follow. Perhaps you were taught at a school that had a specific kind of testing method, but the reality is that schools, whether they are home schools or not, use a variety of testing methods. So, you need to think about what home school testing method would work the best for your child. After all, you know your child the best! Of course, the home school testing method that you use will have to do with several factors, such as the child's age, any learning disabilities, and the material being learned. Age Appropriate Home School Testing First of all, take into consideration your child's age. Is you child just beginning school, or is your child a bit older? The older a child gets, the sillier games appear to them, so it is best if you reserve games for younger children. This is, of course, unless the child has a learning disability in which games would actually be a more beneficial testing method. Essay help can be usefull for your testing, Of course the most common home school testing method is to give your child a written test. If your child plans on going away to college, written tests are indeed very important, because they help develop a child's writing skills. However, with the internet and technology becoming more advanced, more software is being devised that allows children to take tests on the computer. So, the question remains as to whether there is an ideal kind of home school testing system. Well of course there is no one answer, but there are certain tests that have been proven to really stimulate a child's learning experience. For more information on home school testing systems, go to your local bookstore and consult the educational books that have been written on the topic. You can also search the internet, especially if the home school program that you use has an official website with a forum, in which you can talk with other parents who are homeschooling their children. You are sure to find the right testing methods for your child with the proper research. I have been around the Spanish language all my life and yet I find it hard to speak it fluently. The problem, I suppose, is not because I cannot learn Spanish, it’s just that I prefer to think and speak in English.
All my life my mother has been pushing me to speak in Spanish and I did for a while, but then I just stopped. Probably because I found that there was really no need and that more people spoke English around me. The fact that I understand the Spanish language does not seem to help. Speaking and thinking in Spanish are very different from simply understanding it. I have heard of software like Rosetta Stone and Rocket Spanish that are supposedly very successful in teaching one how to be fluent in the language. I guess it works for a lot of people as they would not be the top choices if they didn’t. So how come I still cannot speak it fluently? Mind set. Somehow, my psyche has convinced me that I can communicate in English successfully with other people and I may not need Spanish, so maybe that is why I am having difficulties. But I noticed one thing though. The other day, I answered the phone and my mom was asking me rapid fire questions about something that she was concerned about. I, of course, tried to calm her down and tried to talk to her. After about 10 minutes, I realized that my mother had a kind of curious tone to her voice and I asked her what was wrong. She said that I had been speaking Spanish to her, albeit a little broken, but clearly in Spanish. This surprised me a lot and I was intrigued with the idea of learning the language all over again. Maybe, this time, if I had the right attitude and incentive, I could speak Spanish in no time at all. Maybe I can speak fluent Spanish like I used to as a little girl. Now and then, business owners begin to consider hiring Virtual Assistants to undertake a part of work, which is always hampering them to concentrate on the core of their business. Resorting to virtual assistants might be a good idea and you shouldn’t be afraid of counting on someone you haven’t met in person. Many businesses do it nowadays.
They are specialists with good knowledge, qualification. They usually know what you need as the majority of them are entrepreneurs. So they know how to do business with mutual benefit. There are a lot of Spanish speaking assistants and cv writers available and ready to work for reasonable fees. It is true that looking for one, you will eventually find one. However, how much time it requires? What are the most common problems when it comes to Spanish speaking assistants? The problems that normally come across with Spanish speaking virtual assistant are: Bad qualification. Unfortunately, it was often the case when I tried to find one. The reason for that might consist in the high unemployment rate in Spanish speaking countries, which result in many individuals opting for online work. It is a fantastic thing about internet that people can overcome local conditions; however, it doesn’t contribute to searching qualified specialists. Spanish dialects. The general notion of the Spanish language is usually referred to Castilian dialect, the most commonly accepted dialect of Spanish. They doesn’t speak equally in Spain and in Latin America, it is the most important thing for you to understand. I had a nerve-racking experience hiring a Castilian speaking VA for my customers from Latin America. You see, my VA was not willing to adjust to customers’ Spanish! He thought he was right saying this or that way. Cultural issue. When different cultures are engaged in cooperation, there’ll be some cases of misunderstanding. Understanding and, what is more important, accepting these differences is a key to working with Spanish speaking VA. It is instrumental, in this respect, to set forth all requirements, obligations and bonuses associated with work from the very beginning. Overall, I had a hard time looking a Spanish speaking virtual assistant that suits me perfectly. Some of them failed to meet my requirements, so I have been looking for a long while without stopping. Eventually, I’ve found the one that is a perfect match for my business. I have a lot of Spanish speaking customers and finally they are satisfied with me. |
