    Star Trek Discovery – Fear Itself

    An original novel based upon the explosive new Star Trek TV series on CBS All Access.

    Lieutenant Saru is a Kelpien, a member of a prey species born on a world overrun by monstrous predators…and a being who very intimately understands the nature of fear. Challenged on all sides, he is determined to surpass his origins and succeed as a Starfleet officer aboard the USS Shenzhou. But when Saru breaks protocol in order to prove himself to his crewmates, what begins as a vital rescue mission to save a vessel in distress soon escalates out of control. Forced into a command role he may not be ready for, Saru is caught between his duty and the conflicting agendas of two antagonistic alien races. To survive, he will need to seek a path of peace against all odds, and risk compromising the very ideals he has sworn to uphold…

    Released in 2018 after the first season, this is a fantastic science fiction novel by James Swallow, an author given the unenviable task of writing a full length Star Trek novel with only a dozen episodes to base the characters on. 99% of the back story is fantastic, though there’s two minor back story issues that don’t really matter at the end of the day. Swallow was able to capture the character voices and write an action story that kept me interested the entire time I was in the book.

    I did find it interesting that this book featured drone ships like in the Enterprise War, released just a year later.

    Effects of online casino on regular in-house casinos 

    The history of casino gambling is a truly fascinating one, littered with all manner of technological innovation, as well as a fair amount of tension between global authorities too. Something that might be surprising to learn is the fact that the first genuine land-based casino was only established in 17th century Venice, with all other gambling before this taking place in non-official places that were often at loggerheads with the law enforcement forces.

    This all quickly changed after the Venetians opened up their first year round casino establishment called the Casino di Venezia, and before long Europe was home to countless similar institutions. Fast-forward several hundred years, however, and casinos can now quite literally be found anywhere, something that is largely down to the emergence of online casino. Read on to find out the effects of online casino on regular in-house casinos. 

    Technological innovation in online casino bleeds into in-house casinos 

    One majorly positive thing about the emergence of online casino over the last few decades is that it has inspired land-based casinos to also make technological advancements in a range of fields. Perhaps the best place to see this is in the domain of slot machines, with the online slot industry also pushing land-based slot developers to make their games as exciting as possible. 

    It isn’t just with slots, however, as traditional casino gamblers are starting to see all manner of new technologies in their traditional gambling haunts. Just consider the rise of super modern gambling terminals from the likes of Storm Gaming Technology – going to the casino has never been so fun! 

    More gamblers look to gamble online 

    Obviously, if you make it easy for people to gamble online from the comfort of their own home, you would expect to see a slight drop off of people actually going to physical land-based casinos. The online casino market has definitely encouraged lots of players to do their gambling online, and you cannot really blame them when you consider the innate practicality of this. 

    So, online casino may well have taken some customers from the traditional in-house casino gambling sphere, however as we will see, it has also contributed to this too. 

    Online casino eventually attracts brand new gamblers to in-house casinos 

    The great thing about online casino is that it has made casino gambling so much more accessible to a wider range of people, something that in turn means that there are many new gamblers entering the casino sphere in the 21st century. 

    Whilst not all of them will ever set foot in a brick and mortar casino, this increased number of gamblers has succeeded in drawing more customers to the market. So, in a way brick and mortar casinos should be thanking online casino sites for attracting more gamblers, not the other way around. 

    In-house casino jackpots rise along with online casino jackpots 

    Online casino jackpots are only getting bigger and bigger, and this has a knock-on effect on in-house casino jackpots, that have been increasing in relation to this.

    An American Pickle

    Directed by Brandon Trost. With Seth Rogen, Sarah Snook, Molly Evensen, Eliot Glazer. An immigrant worker at a pickle factory is accidentally preserved for 100 years and wakes up in modern-day Brooklyn.

    Enjoyable but easy to forget about, This is a HBOmax movie that entertains without really chipping away at it’s own message too much. Seth Rogan continues to flex his acting abilities in new and exciting ways, I’m happy to see him outside of the comfort zone of his normal pot infused characters.

    I do have an interest in making my own pickles now, so that’s curious.
