Before explaining what it’s all about, please note it’s very rare that TodayPosts writes about this subject, and you might never see it again. This article could be removed at any moment.
The reason we decided to share this incredible information is simply because it’s too good not to. It might be extremely helpful for many of our readers.
If you’ve read up to here, you’ll be wondering what it’s all about …
What is this article about?
Let us explain.
Did you ever dream of finding a deposit of ₹700K in your bank account?
It would be awesome!
Right now, lots of people in India are actually experiencing it, as they’re winning thousands of Rupee with Europa Casino.
You’ll probably have seen the adverts for Europa Casino already, and honestly, we learned about them through their Facebook ads.
There are many online casinos out there. If you are smart enough, you know that online betting – or any betting – can be risky.
So is this just another advertising trick?
Good question. We’ve heard it all before… actually we totally understand if you closed the window already.
But just wait… this article is not what it seems.
For those who decided to stay and listen to us… you made a very intelligent decision.
Before explaining to you how many people have genuinely changed their lives, we want to make it VERY clear that we don’t normally approve of online betting, but as we know that “Europa Casino” is a reliable company, we feel comfortable passing you the information on this occasion.
This is for YOU, and not for us.
We want to explain exactly how many people are getting thousands of Rupee in India with Europa Casino.
Basically, Europa Casino want to become the biggest online casino in India. You may have guessed already after seeing all their advertising recently. They’re willing to invest millions of Rupee to achieve that status, hoping you will spread the word to your friends and family.
It’s a risky move, but it does makes sense –
What is the first thing you’d do after winning lots of money? You’d tell your friends and family! And naturally they’d want to know ALL the details and probably try it themselves. So from a business perspective, Europa Casino want to get you talking.
So to help Indian win money and spread the word, Europa Casinois offering an exclusive promo on registration. When you register for the first time, all you have to do is to confirm your age – obviously this is a trustworthy and regulated casino, so you MUST be 18 or older.
According to a survey we ran, around 47% of those who tried this won something straight away, using the 200 free spins credited on registration. A further 53% made small deposits (which Europa Casino doubles automatically) to test different games and find the best payouts. The most fortunate, actually won millions of Rupee!
Everyone in our Canadian office are taking advantage of this surprising opportunity, and we don’t mind admitting it. Sophia Mason, Head of Marketing, didn’t have much luck at the beginning, but after making a few Rupee here and there, she eventually ended up winning ₹350,000 in one hour! She bought cake for everybody in the office that day.
“I’m so happy! I withdrew everything instantly, but I’m saving most of it to travel to the Seychelles next year”.
Keep in mind that EuropaCasino.com will probably end the promotion very soon, as it’s been SO popular. We dread to think how much it’s cost them. The latest press release said it many finish on .
At TodayPosts, we obviously hope they extend the promotion, but realistically it will end soon. We highly recommend you to try it now, before it’s too late.
Take the opportunity, you will not regret it!
Ps, send us your success stories, we love to hear about our readers improving their lives!
The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020, lays down a new architecture for contract farming in the country so that agribusiness and farmers can engage with one another more confidently, enable modern supply chains and investments by agribusinesses in cultivation.
The National Democratic Alliance government termed the two farm bills passed by Parliament on Sunday to liberalise the agriculture sector as “historic”, but farmers’ groups and activists opposing them allege the bills will create a system lacking adequate oversight and make cultivators vulnerable to exploitation.
The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020 aims to ease all restrictions on trade of agriculture produce.
The Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020, lays down a new architecture for contract farming in the country so that agribusiness and farmers can engage with one another more confidently, enable modern supply chains and investments by agribusinesses in cultivation.
Farm produce, under a decades-old system, are sold and bought in wholesale markets run by so-called agricultural produce marketing committees, or APMCs, under state laws. This is the mandi system. The bill enables food traders to buy farmers’ produce from any market, outside the purview of APMCs, rather than be bound to a specific market where they are licensed to operate.
Ushered in during the 1960s, APMCs were originally meant to protect farmers from distress selling by creating a system of notified markets that records all transactions and prices. Over time, however, these have often acted as monopolies, evidence suggests.
In December 2010, when onion prices peaked, a probe by the country’s statutory anti-monopoly body, the Competition Commission of India, revealed that one firm accounted for nearly a fifth of the total onion trade for that month at Lasalgoan APMC, Asia’s largest onion market in Maharashtra’s Nashik.
While the APMC system is cartelised, bypassing it altogether will leave farmers vulnerable to big food corporations and the country will have no way of knowing what is being traded and at what price, critics argue. Intelligence on price and stock are critical to protect farmers and consumer interests both, they say.
“The govt is abdicating all oversight responsibility since it is not prescribing a system of registration of all traders of farmers’ produce,” says Kavitha Kuruganti of the Alliance for Sustainable and Holistic Agriculture.
“Nor does it want to build a price intelligence system even as it weakens the mandi system. How and when will it intervene then?”
On Sunday, parties such as the Congress and Biju Janata Dal said the government ought to have included federally-fixed “minimum support prices” as the benchmark for any farm trade.
The lack of any mention of MSP, which is considered as a basic remunerative price mandated by the government and federally fixed, in any of the legislations has given rise to suspicion that the new system will weaken the existing MSP regime.
It’s not surprising that farmers and middlemen have come together to oppose the bill. Critics say the bill doesn’t consider the realities of interlocked farm markets. In India farmers typically are “locked” in with middlemen because the latter loans farmers money to meet cultivation costs with an assurance to buy their produce.
HT research shows that farmers value MSPs highly and negatively view middlemen (https://bit.ly/35SWAIU).
The bill allows tax- or levies-free markets, whereas APMCs charge between 4.5% to 8% in mandi levies. This will lead to a loss in revenue.
Critics say the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020, which brings a new contract-farming regime, doesn’t adequately protect the farmer. Sections 19 states that “no civil court shall have jurisdiction to entertain any suit or proceedings in respect of any dispute which a Sub-Divisional Authority or the Appellate Authority is empowered by or under this Act to decide”. This bar of jurisdiction will hurt interests of farmers, they argue.
The two women are a part of a group of 17 officers of the Navy, including four women officers and three officers of the Indian Coast Guard, who were awarded ‘Wings’ on graduating as ‘Observers’ at a ceremony held today at INS Garuda, a Defence statement said.
In a first,two women officers have been selected to join as ‘Observers’ (Airborne Tacticians) in the Indian Navy’s helicopter stream that would ultimately pave the way for women being posted in frontline warships.
Sub Lieutenant (SLt) Kumudini Tyagi and SLt Riti Singh would, in effect, be the first set of women airborne tacticians in India who would operate from the deck of warships.
Earlier, entry of women was restricted to the fixed wing aircraft that took off and landed ashore.
The two are a part of a group of 17 officers of the Navy, including four women officers and three officers of the Indian Coast Guard, who were awarded ‘Wings’ on graduating as ‘Observers’ at a ceremony held today at INS Garuda, here, a Defence statement said.
The group comprised 13 officers of Regular batch and four woman officers of Short Service Commission batch.
The ceremony was presided over by Rear Admiral Antony George, Chief Staff Officer (Training) who presented the awards and coveted wings to the graduating officers.
In addition, the chief guest also awarded the Instructor Badge to six other officers, (five from the Indian Navy including a woman and another from Indian Coast Guard) who had successfully graduated as Qualified Navigation Instructors (QNI).
The Rear Admiral Antony highlighted the fact that it was a landmark occasion wherein for the first-time women are going to be trained in helicopter operations which would ultimately pave way for the deployment of women in frontline warships of Indian Navy.
The officers of the 91st Regular course and 22nd SSC Observer course were trained in air navigation, flying procedures, tactics employed in air warfare, anti- submarine warfare and exploitation of airborne avionic systems.
These officers would serve on-board Maritime Reconnaissance and Anti-Submarine Warfare aircraft of the Indian Navy and Indian Coast Guard, the statement said.

Trusted casino site Europa Casino, has been attacked by the hacker’s group Anonymous after launching their new online casino in India. The attack caused the company to lose millions of Rophie to its players.
This hack has already lost them close to 1 million Rophie in free spins and cash prizes and the loss is going to continue to increase until when their new customer agreement takes effect.
What Exactly Happened?
According to reports from the Cyber security firms Talent-Jump and Trend Micro, hackers from China and Middle East managed to penetrate the security systems of the online casino. Their purpose was to insert a program that generates free chips for each new user that registers in the Europa Casino site.
Thousands of Canadians are now registering on the site and getting up to ₹168,000 in free credits.
As a result, people are using the free credits and hitting jackpots that are costingEuropa Casino heavily. What is making matters even worse for the company is that there is no way for them to fix it due to the strict gambling laws in India which require Casino companies to notify at least 7 days in advance before changing their terms and conditions. So getting these bonuses for free is completely legal.”
Thousands of Winners
One company’s misfortune can be incredibly profitable for everyone else. One lucky woman, 26-year-old, registered with Europa Casino and claimed the free welcome bonus and after making her first ₹1,750 deposit for playing, she won the Slot Jackpot of ₹50,585290. “I used to dread waking up each morning and going to a job that I hate, all to just be able to cover my rent and bills, now I have so much freedom.”
Finding the culprits
Europa Casino and its insurer commenced a claim against the security system Indigo Vision, which will have a lot to explain on how this happened. Spokesperson of the victim firm, responded to our inquiry via email, “This has been a very unfortunate and costly damage for the company, but we have to learn from it and move on. The Canadian market is very important to us and we are here to stay even after this costly error for the company.”
Here is how people from India are claiming their free money:
Kangana Ranaut’s comments came after a Twitter user shared an article about the collapse of a three-storey building in Bhiwandi tagging the actor’s team.
Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, who has been in a tussle with the Shiv Sena, on Monday criticised the Maharashtra government after at least 10 people were killed in a building collapse in the western state’s Bhiwandi city.
Ranaut’s latest comments against the state government came after a Twitter user shared an article about the collapse of a three-storey building in Bhiwandi tagging the actor’s team. “Meanwhile Maharashtra government k-k-k-k-kNgnaa ….. if they stop being obsessed with me they will know how the entire state is collapsing,” Ranaut responded on Twitter.
“Painful scenes! Happens when Maharashtra govt has only the time to dismantle @KanganaTeam’s office! #Maharashtra #Bhiwandi,” the user had tweeted.
At least 10 people were killed after a three-storey building collapsed in the Patel Compound area in Bhiwandi. The building collapsed at around 3:40am.
Ranaut’s tweet also came days after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolished her office in the city. Her office in Pali Hill, Bandra was partially demolished by the civic body on September 10. She had moved the Bombay High Court against the demolition of what BMC termed as “illegal alterations” at her office.
The civic body had earlier filed an affidavit in the high court, saying Ranaut had made substantial alterations and additions to the property unlawfully and that her allegations against it were “baseless”.
Ranaut has been at loggerheads with the Maharashtra government since she criticised Mumbai Police’s handling of the investigation into Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. She referred to Mumbai as “Pakistan-occupied Kashmir” and “Pakistan” and triggered a political controversy.
The state’s ruling alliance has accused her of carrying forward the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)’s political agenda. Ranaut got security from the BJP-ruled Centre amid her spat with Sena leaders.
The BSF has the highest number of vacancies, followed by the CRPF, CISF, SSB, ITBP and Assam Rifles respectively, MoS (Home) Nityanand Rai informed the House in a written statement.
Over one lakh posts are lying vacant in Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) like the BSF and the CRPF and the vacancies have occurred mostly due to retirement, resignation and deaths, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Monday.

“Vacancies in CAPFs and Assam Rifles arise due to retirement, resignation, death, new raising, creation of new posts, cadre reviews, etc. Majority of these vacancies are in the grade of constable,” he said replying to a written question.
Rai said there exists a well-established procedure to fill up these vacancies like through direct recruitment, promotion and by deputation, as per the extant provisions of Recruitment Rules.
The minister said the government has taken expeditious steps to fill up the vacancies in CAPFs, which is an ongoing continuous process.
At present, the process of recruitment for 60,210 posts of constables, 2,534 posts of sub-inspectors through the Staff Selection Commission and 330 posts of assistant commandants through the Union Public Service Commission is underway, he said. PTI ACB AQS

Along with the ITBP, specialised forces, trained over the past decades to fight on the northern front, have now been pushed up to the frontier.
In a stand-off with a belligerent Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) at four points in East Ladakh , India has increased technical drone surveillance of the area even as the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has inducted more battalions into the sector to support army along the 3,488 km Line of Actual Control (LAC), government and military officials familiar with the matter said.
The decision to induct ITBP battalions in support of the army was taken on June 20 after Director General Military Operations, India, Lt General Paramjit Singh and Director General (ITBP and BSF) S S Deswal visted Leh to be briefed about the ground situation. The top security officials of Indian Government were briefed by the XIV Corps Commander Lt General Harinder Singh on the the stand off with PLA.
India has also deployed its specialised high-altitudeforces along LAC to repel any transgressionin the western, middle or eastern sectors, the officials added.
With the Narendra Modi government giving a clear mandate to the Indian Army to repel any PLA transgression along the LAC, the military and the National Technical Research Organization (NTRO) have been asked to deploy more surveillance drones in the area so that the battle theatre becomes more transparent. While the army has been given clearance at the highest levels to acquire more drones, the Israeli Heron medium altitude long endurance drone currently being used by NTRO is providing technical surveillance of the area.
The Chinese PLA has the unproven armed drone Wing Loong in its inventory; India is also looking to acquire armed drones from either Israel or the US.
According to government officials familiar with the matter,the ITBP force accretionis being done to ensure that all 65 (some say 62) patrolling points along the 1547 km LAC in East Ladakh are fully patrolled , thereby not allowing PLA to expand the scope of its dispute with India by engaging in more areas. The ITBP operates under the Indian Army in the event of hostilities, and also undertakes joint patrols with the military in peacetime; it already has at least 7,000 men on ground. The joint briefing of DGMO, who has served as Corps Commander of Nagrota in J &K, and DG (BSF and ITBP) was done to ensure that the Indian forces are on the same page in case the red flag goes up.
Along with the ITBP, specialised forces, trained over the past decades to fight on the northern front, have now been pushed up to the frontier. Unlike the PLA, which moves in infantry combat vehicles that use paved metalled roads, the Indian mountain troops are trained in guerrilla warfare and in high-altitude combat, as demonstrated during the 1999 Kargil War.
“The art of mountain fighting is the toughest, as the cost of human casualties is 10 to each troop of the adversary sitting on a height. The troops from Uttarakhand, Ladakh, Gorkha, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim have adapted to the rarefied heights over centuries and hence their capability of fighting is close-quarter combats is without match. The artillery and the missiles have to have pin-pointed accuracy or else they miss the mountain target by miles,” said a former Indian Army chief.
The Tibetan plateau is flat onthe Chinese sidewhile the Indian side starts from K2 peak in Karakoram, to Nanda Devi in Uttarakhand, to Kanchenjunga in Sikkim, and Namche Barwa across Arunachal Pradesh border. “In mountains, it is not only difficult to capture territory but more difficult to hold it,” a China expert at South Block said.
The officials cited in the first instance said that India is willing to play the long game. “Our battalions lined up with armoured personnel carriers and artillery. India will not instigate or precipitate any skirmish but will reply to any transgression. The days of LAC nibbling are over. This is a battle of nerves and India is prepared to wait, come snow come sunshine,” said a senior minister who asked not to be named.
The officials added that the Modi government is unhappy that Chinese President Xi Jinping did not rein in PLA western theatre commander General Zhao Zongqi, who, according to China watchers, is keen on imposing the 1960 Eastern Ladakh map based on claims on Indian territory.
This map, in which China claims territory up to Kongka La, was unveiled by former Chinese premier Chou En Lai, who led the country during the 1962 conflict. Indian officials said that it was in an attempt to set aside historical baggage that Prime Minister Narendra Modi initiated the Wuhan and Mamallapuram summits so that the two leaders could promote the bilateral relations after the 73-day Doklam face-off in 2017.
While both India and China are diplomatically engaged to de-escalate the situation, the instructions to the ground forces are to not to allow any transgression by the PLA at any cost. “ PLA soldiers use vehicles to reach their posts; our troops are trained to climb and then fight . Thanks to adversaries on western and northern borders, Indian infantry has learnt the art of fighting at the highest heights be it Siachen, Karakoram, Lipulekh or Thag la,” said a senior military commander who asked not to be named.
Home Minister Amit Shah had earlier this month asked Lt Governor Anil Baijal to reach out to the voluntary sector to help the Delhi government rapidly expand its capacity to accommodate and treat Covid-19 patients.
Home Minister Amit Shah has roped in the Indo-Tibetan Border Police medical personnel to run India’s biggest facility being set up forCovid patients in south Delhi.The facility, being set up at a Radha Soami Satsang Beas complex in Chattarpur, would be able to accommodate over 10,200 patients.
The Chattarpur facility, the size of 15 football fields, has been named Sardar Patel Covid Care Centre and Hospital.
“This would be 10 times bigger than thefield facility for Covid patientsthat was temporarily set up in China’s Leishenshan to accommodate 1,000 patients,” said a senior Home Ministry official. Back in February, Chinese diplomats had put out a video of the construction of the hospital to showcase what was then considered a feat.
Home Minister Amit Shah had earlier this month askedLt Governor Anil Baijalto reach out to the voluntary sector to help the Delhi government rapidly expand its capacity to accommodate and treat Covid-19 patients. The spiritual organisation, which had earlier operated camps for migrants at some of its facilities in other parts of the country, was the first one torespond to Lt Governor Baijal’s outreach.
The organisation has told the government that it would be able to provide meals for the patients.
Shah is expected to visit the facility later this week, possibly Thursday, the deadline for officials to operationalise the first 2,000 beds. The remaining beds are targeted to be set up by 3 July.
The facility, an official said, had come to symbolise the growing role played by the Union home minister in scaling up the city’s infrastructure to meet the challenge.
The Delhi government had earlier projected that the city’s Covid count would rise to 1 lakh cases by this month-end that would require about 15,000 beds. AIIMS director Randeep Guleria had later indicated that this model may have overestimated the extent of the spread but backed moves to prep for the worst-case scenario.
Shah, officials said, had asked the ITBP to help staff the Covid centre’s medical personnel. Once the 10,200 beds are operationalised, there would be a requirement for 800 general doctors and 70 specialist doctors apart from nearly 1,400 nurses.
Sharad Deshmukh, 34, from Bengaluru considers himself a simple man. He has a normal job and a loving wife. Just like any day, Sharad showed up for his morning shift at KFC, but what happened on his break would change his life forever.
His wife was never one for stability or long-term employment. To make ends meet, Sharad has been shuffling jobs for the past 9 months, working anywhere from a temporary desk job to a local supermarket in Bengaluru. It wasn’t until his morning shift at his local KFC weeks ago that it appeared Sharad would be “getting out” forever.
While browsing Facebook on his break, Sharad came across an online site giving away ₹80,000 welcome bonus for Indian players. With nothing to lose and 15 minutes of free time, he decided to try his luck. What happened 1 hour later would change his families fate FOREVER.
And this is when the story gets good…
Playing Live Casino Blackjack, Sharad won ₹15,62,52,872 at Leo Vegas Casino. Having won more than enough to instantly retire in just one hour, his fast-food job came to an abrupt end.
Next morning, Sharad realized that he could now finally travel to surprise his wife Nutan who has been working long distance for nearly 7 months.
“I just didn’t believe it at first,” says Sharad. “Right after registration, I deposited ₹1,000. I thought it was all a dream after receiving mywelcome bonus, I started playing Blackjack and WON! I confirmed my age & claimed ₹15,62,52,872 in my bank. I was shocked it was deposited in my bank the next day! I couldn’t wait to share the news with my wife. Tears started swelling up in my eyes and I knew this was all real.”
Sharad left their house with his wife and young child and is now traveling. The family will surely discuss what’s next. Sharad explained, “I am very happy to know that my wife and I can now live in the same city.”
And while one of the bigger winners, Sharad certainly isn’t the only one to cash out on Leo Vegas Casino’s welcome bonus for Indian players. Since the promotion began last month, over 240 players in India have won money from playing. However, it appears the giveaway will be soon ending as the company has already paid out over ₹20,00,00,000 in total winnings this last month.
Our reporter Palak Sardar couldn’t resist and also tried her hand at the jackpot but only walked away with a ₹1,909 win – “you can’t always win as big as Sharad sadly!”
Update: We have followed up with Leo Vegas Casino and they have said they are not going to be able to offer this promotion for a long period of time, and have confirmed this promotion will end soon.
We are obviously hoping Leo Vegas Casino will extend Exclusive Welcome Bonus Promotion, but it’s looking doubtful, so we recommend depositing some rupee and trying it ASAP! You could be more wealthy this time tomorrow.
So, will you be the next winner?

If the movement in your automatic or mechanical timepiece is built in-house by a major Swiss marque, it’ll most likely be of a better quality than one which has been mass-produced externally.
If the lugs or case of your watch feature any sharp edges, the watch hasn’t been finished properly and is a wider sign of poor manufacture.
3) Make sure you can swim with it
4) Invest in scratch-resistant glass
Try and opt for a watch finished with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal glass. Anything less and the slightest bash will leave your watch in a very bad way indeed.

In 1993, a young designer called Emmanuel Gueit was charged with upsizing the Royal Oak. The result was the 42mm “Offshore” chronograph, which is revisited in the new steel-cased Offshore that, not coincidentally, arrives exactly 25 years on.

Girard-Perregaux
After a few years in the doldrums, Girard-Perregaux hit the ground running in 2018 with several new models based on some of its best-known designs. It gave an impressive demonstration of horological mastery in the form of its Minute Repeater Tri-Axial Tourbillon.
Watch of the collection
The Neo-Tourbillon With Three Bridges Skeleton represents an ultra-modern take on the tourbillon watch with three visible, straight, dial-side bridges that Girard-Perregaux patented in 1884. The new watch, however, features blackened and curved bridges and an extensively skeletonised movement.

Glashütte Original
This year has heralded a blossoming of green dials. One of the best to “go green” was Glashütte, which produced a fabulous take on the theme with two envy-inspiring models in an emerald hue: the 42mm Sixties Panorama Date ($8,900) and the 39mm Sixties ($6,350).
Watch of the collection
If there’s a chance you’ll be popping to the Chatham Islands in the Pacific, secure a Senator Cosmopolite watch. This 44mm steel-cased beauty displays the time in two zones, with black, blue or red indications showing hour offsets, half-hour offsets or, as in the case of the Chatham Islands, 45-minute ones.
R.R.P. $20,200
Hublot
This Swiss brand played a blinder by sponsoring this year’s World Cup. Independent analysis showed massive spikes in visits to the Hublot website when play paused, while its $5,000 Big Bang Referee smartwatch proved a hit with fans keen to keep track of goals, player changes and yellow or red cards.
Watch of the collection
For something that really makes a statement – even by Hubot standards – look no further than the Big Bang Unico Red Magic, the first watch made from vibrantly coloured ceramic. Just 500 are available.
R.R.P. $27,500
IWC
The Schaffhausen brand celebrated its sesquicentennial (look it up) in 2018 with a slew of special editions – 27, in fact. Five of them were based on the ever-popular Portugieser model, which was first introduced in 1939.
Watch of the collection
The Tribute To Pallweber editions are based on a jumping-hour pocket watch produced in 1884. Instead of a conventional time display, they use a system of rotating, numbered discs that show the hours and minutes through large windows, while seconds are taken care of by an indicator at the six o’clock position. They are available in editions of 25 in platinum, 250 in red gold and 500 in steel.
R.R.P. from $26,100
Omega
Omega’s new takes on its trusty Speedmaster include the black ceramic Dark Side Of The Moon, a tribute to Apollo 8. There’s also a reincarnation of the 1959 Speedmaster CK2998 in an edition of 2,998, each with a white dial and black counters, a pulsometer bezel and a classic 39.7mm case with a manually wound movement.
Watch of the collection
Omega’s Wrist-Chronographs were made using 105-year-old movements. The 47.5mm white-gold case has a flip-open “hunter back” behind which the movement can be seen through a sapphire crystal cover. The dial is coated in white enamel and fitted with blued-steel hands.

Panerai
Panerai’s enthusiasm for sailing extends to awarding the annual Panerai Challenger Trophy to an “outstanding young person” who has overcome physical, economic or social challenges in order to achieve a milestone in sailing or windsurfing. This year’s trophy went to 18-year-old Nicola Stockdale, a volunteer sailing instructor from Manchester.
Watch of the collection
The new Luminor Due aims to make Panerai’s crown guard watch more accessible and wearable with a range of cases in 38mm, 42mm and 45mm. The 42mm, 3 Days Automatic in steel with black dial and soft brown strap would be our choice.
R.R.P. $6,970
Ralph Lauren
Following a fallow period in the decade-long history of Ralph Lauren’s watch line, the collection has been given a serious fillip with the introduction of a range of models to commemorate the all-American brand’s 50th anniversary.
Watch of the collection
Dubbed “The American Western Watch Collection”, the line-up features round and cushion-shaped cases, regular or skeleton dials and a pair of hand-wound pocket watches. RL’s love of cowboy culture is expressed in the thick leather strap that’s hand-tooled in Texas and “burnished in Italy”. Yeeeee-haaaaa!
R.R.P. $21,500
Roger Dubuis
As carmaker/watchmaker partnerships go, the five-year link-up between Lamborghini and Roger Dubuis is a match made in heaven for those willing to spend more on a watch than an “entry-level” Lambo.
Watch of the collection
The Excalibur Aventador S Edition is powered by the special RD103SQ hand-wound movement with “jumping” seconds that’s been especially designed for the Lamborghini models. The 45mm case is made from the same carbon composite used by the carmaker, while the bridges that hold the mechanism in place are based on engine bay cross struts. Vrooooom…

Rolex
The annual reveal of new Rolex models is always a feast for the eyes – but this year we got a bit more than we bargained for, with the unexpected arrival of a new Cosmograph Daytona “Rainbow” in Everose gold, with its 56 brilliant-cut diamonds embedded into the case – suddenly, $89,990 doesn’t seem such a stretch.
Watch of the collection
Unquestionably it’s the stainless-steel “Pepsi” GMT-Master II that Rolex has finally released. The famous red-and-blue bezel vanished in 2005 and was absent for almost ten years before returning in a new Cerachrom execution, but only in white gold. These are now proving almost impossible to get hold of at the “RRP”.
R.R.P. $8,600
TAG Heuer
It’s not easy to make a success of pairing car companies with watch brands, but one that’s clicked is the recent marriage of TAG Heuer and Aston Martin. The first TAG/Aston watches include a $1,650 Aston Martin Racing quartz model and a $6,750 Carrera chronograph.
Watch of the collection
The 55th anniversary of the lynchpin Carrera prompts the launch of a tourbillon chronograph version, which comes with a “Viper Head” chronometry certificate from the Besançon Observatory. Featuring a dark-blue ceramic case with matching bezel and blue-tinted movement components, it will be produced in just 155 examples.
Traveling by yacht is an experience that not many can afford, let alone owning one. Having a yacht lets people know that you’re doing a little better than “just great” in life. However, you can bump it up a notch and have a yacht equipped with a range of different amenities including a swimming pool, elevator, and even a smaller boat! If anyone knows how to live in style, it’s the rich and famous. Check out these 25 swanky yachts owned by some of the wealthiest celebs.
1. Sean “Diddy” Comb’s Maraya
Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, or simply Diddy, whatever you want to call him – he knows how to live. This native from Harlem has had a very successful career in the music industry with no end in sight. It only makes sense that he has the riches to show it. His $65 million yacht dubbed theMaraya is 54 feet long from nose to back and has 10 staff members on its every beck and call.
2. Johnny Depp’s Vajoliroja
Who knew that being a pirate actually pays off? It’s only fitting that the star of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has his own luxurious yacht. This superyacht, builtin Turkey in 2001, is 156 feet long and accommodates up to 10 guests in 4 cabins. And no, this isn’t stolen booty. The boat was sold to JK Rowling in 2016 and renamed Amphitrite.
3. Bono’s Cyan
The frontman of U2, Bono, purchased his 160-foot luxury yacht in 2008 and has since modernized it a bit. This yacht sleeps up to a dozen guests in 6 cabins, has a grand piano, indoor gym, and even a cinema for Bono’s guests to enjoy.
4. Nicole Kidman’s Hokulani
The richest celebrity coming from the Land Down Under, Nicole Kidman’s superyacht is nothing short of simply amazing. Valued at nearly $4.5 million, the Hokulani is equipped with five cabins, separate quarters for the crew, a spacious living area to kick back, and a kitchen and private chef. Nicole loves taking her yacht out during the summertime with her guests and family.
5. Richard Branson’s Necker Belle
Richard started off as a humble Christmas tree grower and seller, but his first successful business venture was his magazine Student. Today, the owner of Virgin Airlines is estimated to have a net worth of just over $5 billion. His love for sailing drove him to purchase the Necker Belle, a 105-foot yacht that housed 13 people and 5 crew members. It was sold in September of this year for roughly $4 million.
6. Steven Spielberg’s Seven Seas
The famous director of E.T. and Jurassic Park owns the Seven Seas – the yacht, not the actual seas (though he could probably afford them). This yacht was constructed by Oceano and measures 292 feet from nose to end. It comes with 23 crew members and houses 12 guests. They can enjoy traveling the seas and a quick dip in the yacht’s indoor Jacuzzi.
7. Steve Jobs’ Venus
The late CEO of Apple was one of the most prominent CEOs in the world, but stocks are where he earned his big bucks. He earned big and he splurged big. One of his most expensive assets was the Venus, a 255-foot yacht with 23 crew members and enough space for 12 guests. To operate the yacht, Jobs had a 27-inch iMac installed in the wheelhouse.
8. Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rising Sun
The Wolf of Wall Street scored himself a huge yacht. It has more than 26,000 square feet of living space and is the 11th largest yacht on the planet. Coincidentally, this yacht used to be owned by Larry Ellison, another man on this list.
9. Nicolas Cage’s Sarita
If he can steal the Declaration of Independence then he can definitely score himself a yacht. This misunderstood actor has owned four yachts while he was at the peak of his career, the most prominent of which was the Sarita. It had enough cabins to house 12 guests, and Mr. Cage has been spotted riding the rough waves aboard the Sarita numerous times. Unfortunately, he had to sell the Sarita in 2008 due to clashes with the IRS.
10. Beyoncé’s Galactica Star
Queen B lives the life of a literal queen. She owns the Galactica Star, a 213-foot mega yacht that is equipped with a spa, helipad, and numerous cabins that sleep 12 people. B and Jay-Z mostly enjoy taking the yacht out during the summer months to just kick back and avoid paparazzi.

5 minutes and 17 spins later, Amit won the progressive jackpot on Leo Vegas’s “Black Panther” game, cashing out in a matter of seconds.

Trusted online casino operator LeoVegas Inc. (NASDAQ: CSNRM) has made a costly mistake after launching their online casino in India that caused the company to lose millions of Rupees to its players.
This glitch has already lost them close to ₹80,000,000 Rupees in free spins and cash prizes and the loss is going to continue to increase until when their new customer agreement takes effect.
What Exactly Happened?
Azam Sabha, an experienced casino player from Hyderabad who was one of the first players to discover the loophole explains, LeoVegas new promotional campaign for new customers in India was supposed to give ₹3,000 of additional free credits to all new customers that deposited at least ₹800 Rupee to their account.

The rise of the Internet of Things threatens collective cybersecurity and confuses citizens, concerned about their individual privacy
Reality and fiction are the concerns of citizens regarding their online privacy. In 2018 the webcam scam has returned, with which some computer hackers tried to extort several readers of the magazine The Register: an anonymous email asked them several thousand dollars (in bitcoins) to keep secret a video that allegedly they had recorded them from their own webcam while enjoying pornographic material on their computer. As presumptive evidence of the intrusion, the scammers presented each user with a real password, which they used to access a forum that they had hacked.
Alerted by a skeptical victim, the security experts of the British publication recommended to all its readers to ignore this type of emails: “Do not panic, do not pay. It is very unlikely that this video exists. Change your password and consider using double-factor authentication and a password manager to keep your accounts secure. ” The incident showed Internet users accustomed to using weak passwords, and at the same time worried about an assault on their privacy similar to that suffered by the protagonist of a chapter of the science fiction series Black Mirror, in its third season.
The truth is that technically it is possible. Also last summer, researchers from the computer security company ESET divulged the discovery of InvisiMole, a new and powerful malware that has been in circulation since 2013 and precisely does that: it camouflages itself as a file of the Windows system and, among other things, takes control of the user’s webcam and microphone, to observe their activities and to collect personal information and documents. Zuzana Hromcová, an ESET analyst, explains that this program had remained under the antivirus’s radar because “it uses several techniques to avoid detection and because it has only been used against a small number of highly chosen victims, in Russia and Ukraine.”
InvisiMole is a cyber-espionage tool like the one that has been used by the FBI for years, according to Marcus Thomas, former deputy director of the Technological Operations Division of the US federal agency. Also in 2013 a study by Johns Hopkins University showed that it is possible to infect a computer and record with your webcam without turning on the light that alerts the user, and researchers detailed in their article how to do it on a variety of Apple computers.
If Mark Zuckerberg does it…
Being spied on with the webcam itself is a possibility that goes beyond online scams and television series, and the global murmur that generated the photo in which you see the very Mark Zuckerberg, president of Facebook, with the camera of his laptop covered with a tape.
Covering the web cameras is an increasingly widespread practice, both in computers for personal use and at work. And there is also widespread suspicion towards intelligent speakers – like those that Amazon and Apple are debuting these days in Spain – especially after last August was unveiled at the DEF global hacker conference with a trick to convert an Amazon Echo speaker. in a spy microphone. In the last year, smart loudspeakers have become the most popular device of the so-called Internet of Things, a technological category destined to grow 300% over the next few years.
Thus, the latest awareness campaign of the REIsearch project of the European Commission states that by 2025 the number of connected objects will have grown to 75,000 million, including a variety of personal devices such as cars, pacemakers or toys; also to household appliances, light bulbs or plugs; and to sensors and machinery for public infrastructures such as hospitals, power plants or transport networks.
Smart objects, the great objective of the ‘hackers’
For hackers, all those connected objects are much more appealing than our webcams, according to the renowned cybersecurity analyst Mikko Hypponen: “People may think: Why would someone want to hack into my fridge, microwave or smart coffee machine? The motivation is usually not to manipulate the device and spy on it, but to gain access to our network and passwords. The weakest link in our networks are not our computers or mobile phones, they are our connected objects, “Hypponen explained at a conference in Dublin last week. “If a device is described as” intelligent “, that means it is vulnerable,” recalls the expert in each of his interventions.
That threat became a reality when, two years ago, the Mirai attack knocked down the Amazon, Spotify, Twitter and Netflix web servers, as well as the New York Times page. These and other 150,000 websites were inaccessible for hours, because there were many visits at the same time. But behind those visits there were no people, but objects connected to the Internet (televisions, refrigerators, security cameras) that had been infected and followed the orders of a malware, which recruited them to form an army or network of computer botnets (botnet) . It was the first massive cyberattack starring the Internet of things.
The latest Europol report on organized crime on the Internet highlights the fear that the next major attack of this kind may cause a global paralysis of the Internet. And he also points out as a great concern the persistent threat of ransomware, the malicious programs that ask for a ransom to unblock the computer system they have infected. One of them, Wanna cry, prevented in 2017 that thousands and thousands of people could access basic services such as electricity (in Spain) and health (in the United Kingdom).
How to protect yourself?
In cases like the latter the Internet of Things was the victim of the attack, and not the transmitter. And that calls into question the use of “smart” health devices, which, when connected to the Internet, can be taken hostage in an attack like Wannacry, and thus put at risk the lives of patients who depend on its functioning. .
In this context California has just approved the first law on the security of smart objects, which imposes on all manufacturers new security measures (and not just privacy) from January 1, 2020.
Meanwhile, experts ask users to be demanding with the security of the connected devices installed in their homes, to keep the software of all their computers updated, to use password managers and to strengthen the security of their home networks. Four tips to address these large-scale threats to collective cybersecurity … and also much more useful than a tape on the webcam, if the goal is to protect the privacy of very infrequent intrusions-outside the world of espionage and people like Zuckerberg whose secrets are worth many millions of dollars. For the common Internet user, the risk of covering the webcam is to have a false sense of security and remain oblivious to the new threats of the Internet of Things era.
