Super Monopoly Money Introduction
You either love Monopoly, or you hate it, but there's no such split opinion about this spin-off pokie, Super Monopoly Money, from WMS. Packed full of bonuses and extra features, this slick little game will have you feeling like a millionaire in minutes with all of the traditional trappings you'll remember from the original board game and plenty more.
Like the thousands of free online pokies we have at Online Pokies 4U, Super Monopoly Money is available to play for free.
Money money money!
Super Monopoly Money is a five-reel pokie with three rows and 25 fixed paylines, and all of its symbols reference the original board game. The low-value symbols are the original playing pieces of the top hat, the boot, the ship and the car. Next in value are the bag of money, the black cab, and the bus, and following these, there's everyone's favourite dog, a man in a flat cap, and Mr Monopoly himself.
The highest-value symbol is the Jackpot icon, and if you can land five of these on a payline without using any wild symbols to substitute, you could win 75,000x your stake. This game is all about making money, and there are plenty of bonus symbols to help you out with that.
First, there's the wild symbol, which can substitute for any of the other regular symbols to help you make up winning combinations. Then, there's the MM Wild symbol, which only appears on reel five and will expand to fill all three rows.
MM Wild bonus round
If you get this MM Wild symbol on reel five, any prize you win will be awarded as Monopoly Money and cash. Once this has happened, you can start the Wheel Bonus any time you like. Just click the wheel at the top of the reels and spin for a cash prize, which could potentially be up to 100x the value of the Monopoly Money you earned. There are also Chance, Community Chest, and Go! segments on the wheel, which could offer further rewards.
Free Parking
Another of the bonus symbols you'll encounter is the Free Parking symbol. These are stacked on reels two, three, four and five, and landing at least one anywhere as part of a potential winning combination will start this feature. You'll be shown five Free Parking symbols below the reels, and you can randomly select one of these symbols. What you reveal will replace all the Free Parking symbols on the reels and make new wins.
Free spins
You can trigger free spins by landing three or more of the Bonus symbols on adjacent reels starting from the left. Three, four or five bonus symbols will win you eight, 10 or 15 free spins respectively. You can retrigger this feature as much as you like.
Houses and hotels
The game also gives you the opportunity to be a property tycoon; houses or hotels are awarded randomly on any spin when you don't win Monopoly Money. Houses are worth from five to 25 credits in Monopoly Money, while hotels are worth anywhere from 25 to 100.

Book really tries to shock you. It feasts with dirty details how money, sex and drugs play huge role in a world full of egoistic individuals of banking. Those seem to contain mainly quite young white men. It shouldn't be no surprise to anyone involved in team sports or being part of other manly activity groups that there are lot of men like this in world. These cityboys in London, just happen to get too much money and respect out of the work they do and that makes them act like this.
The other part of the book is really about how screwed up the economic system has been. When people get short term rewards on how well they anticipated the markets and how much commissions their company gets, I can see there's room for cheating and trying to manipulate the market to get more rewards. Book attacks the most toward Hedge funds which are in this book seen as the most greedy form stock markets. Still quite equally it blames most of the cityboys beings selfish, money addicted assholes. Still I wouldn blame only the playes, I'd blame the rules.
I have an insider also in London banking system, an old friend who's been working there for 7-8 years already. I must admit that he's view to normal world is sometimes bit distorted, which kind of a proofs the point of the book. Still I don't believe it's all that bad, there's lot of really talented and motivated people out there, who are not definitely only about sex, drugs and money, but about business itself. Lot's of these cityboys really commit (read: waste) their lives to making money to themselves and their companies.
The book itself is a bit longish sometimes when Geraint tells lots and lots details about drinking and partying. Also it requires a bit of an interest towards stock markets and banking to really follow all the curiosities that are being told. Part I enjoyed the most was actually the epilogue, where author confesses that money and working like hell doesn't really matter that much and didn't really make him happy. Maybe it's just because I'm not in this banking world, and I'm just jealous. But I've really tried to think similarly for sometime already. I do enjoy working, but I still do it only for living and not the other way around.
Often there's one sentence that sticks in my mind after reading a book and the one in this book was: "Everybody just needs to make their own mistakes." That's so true. If you believe in some pattern of living bad enough, there's no one who can convince you to change the pattern. The only way is to really see the mistake yourself.

SF Beauty Skin Absolute V-Listing Serum with Magic Massage Pen09:09:00
Two years ago, I came across with SF Beauty Skin and did a brief review on it. It is not a new brand to me and to be honest, I am still loving their Perfect Glow Sunscreen. Unlike any other skin care brand out there, SF Beauty Skin provides unique services on "Try It Before Purchase, Free Sample Set Deliver to Home" and online personal beauty consultants. SF Beauty Skin believes such services not only guarantee one's satisfaction without wasting money, but it will also pampers her with in-home skin care service.
What do I meant by online personal beauty consultant? SF Beauty Skin believes you can seek for professional beauty services at home through phone or email during working hours. There will be beauty consultants attend to your questions through online customer support and they are equipped with professional beauty salon training programs.
It was a pleasant experience talking to the beauty consultants because they are friendly and willing to give a lot of tips to take care of the face. It is my pleasure today to work with them on sharing my experience on using the SF Beauty Skin Absolute V-Lifting Serum with Magic Massage Pen.
- Instant lifting effects in 3 minutes
- Firm and define face contour, chin line, eye area and cheeks
- Reduce fine lines by smoothing them away
- Hydrate the skin and restore the plumpness
- Brighten the skin tone
I like the fact that the serum is in a pump design rather than a dropper design. It is more hygienic though I can hardly control the amount of serum comes out from the pump. The serum is in crystal clear and water texture. Usually, two pumps are sufficient enough for the whole face and the neck area. Warm the serum on you palm and apply it to the face. For a better lifting effect, use the Magic Massage Pen and massage from chin line upwards to ear and foreheads until your skin absorbs the serum.
- Keep the skin moisturize
- Does not leave oily feel after application
- Does not have pungent smell
- Cannot control the amount of serum flows out from the pump
- Does not give an immediate lifting effect unless paired with using Magic Massage Pen
Moving on, here's a little trick to stay younger (sort of)... The Magic Massage Pen from SF Beauty Skin is a unique electronic roller and vibrator that provides penetrating, massaging and relaxing effect to your skin. It is a push-button handy beauty that gives 3 important benefits:
- Stimulates blood circulation and restore skin radiance
- Allows serum to penetrate deep into the skin and sends vital nutrients to the deeper levels
- Enhanced beauty effect by boosting skin care active ingredient
How to use Magic Massage Pen?
- Apply the serum onto the face
- Turn clockwise to open the cap
- Push the button at the bottom to turn on the vibration
- Turn on the vibration to massage in 45 upper direction of the eyes and jaw line areas

WOW Kennedy Ryan has surpassed herself with such a wonderful book. I loved Grip and have read it a few times because it had so much more depth than most out there, but Still grabbed unto me with the emotional intensity had me fuming one minute, laughing the next and crying all the things and emotions that makes our lives complete.
In Grip they finally got together but in Still the book went beyond the happily ever after that we get when the couple get together at the end of the book. I loved this book, you can't read it and remain an emotionally detached from the issues raised in this book. Bris and Grip together was so beautiful to read, even when you feel the emotions this book pulls out of you and leaves you a blubbering mess at the end.
I would give this book more than 5 stars if I could. I recommend you read FLOW the Prequel and GRIP before you start this book.
I Received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review

The Applied History Network are pleased to announce their next event on History and the Housing Crisis to be held on Tuesday 14 June 2016, 6.30 -8.30pm at the Marx Memorial Library. The event is free to attend but booking via our Eventbrite page is essential.
The Applied History Network notes, "We are currently in the midst of a housing crisis. House prices are on average seven times people's incomes, and with the economic downturn repossession rates are soaring. In the private rental market rents are also soaring, especially in London, and at the same time one-third of private rented homes fail to meet the Decent Homes Standard. All the while the government continues to pursue the sale of council houses and housing association homes. Hundreds of thousands are pushed into homelessness, living in temporary accommodation or on the streets."
This event will ask what the historical roots to the current housing crisis are, what historical solutions have been posed, and how we might tell the history of housing politics. Did past politics of rent strikes or squatting work, and do they work in the same way today? What solutions have past local and national governments pursued to resolve housing crises, and could these be pursued again? And why is it important to remember the history of housing today? Should we look to the past to think about what the future of housing politics in Britain might look like?
The panel members will each approach the topic from a different vantage point based on their experiences and will speak for 15-20 minutes each. After which, the discussion will be opened up for the next hour or so to include the floor.

Website: Applied History Network
This event is supported by the Raphael Samuel History Centre
The Applied History Network is a group of PhD students, archivists, and early career researchers committed to politically engaged history. We put on regular evening events in London which aim to apply an historical perspective to contemporary events and debates.
The event grew out of conversations started at the 'what is radical history?' conference at Birkbeck in March 2015. In an effort to carry on these important debates, we put on free events every two months in central London.

5e Lesson Plan Model
Many of my science lessons are based upon and taught using the 5E lesson plan model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. This lesson plan model allows me to incorporate a variety of learning opportunities and strategies for students. With multiple learning experiences, students can gain new ideas, demonstrate thinking, draw conclusions, develop critical thinking skills, and interact with peers through discussions and hands-on activities. With each stage in this lesson model, I select strategies that will serve students best for the concepts and content being delivered to them. These strategies were selected for this lesson to facilitate peer discussions, participation in a group activity, reflective learning practices, and accountability for learning.
Unit Focus
The Out of This World-A Journey Through Our Solar System unit focuses on students recognizing that Earth is a part of the "solar system" that includes the sun, planets, moons, and stars and is the third planet from the sun. Through models, investigations, graphing, and computer simulations, students learn that Earth revolves around the sun in a year's time, and rotates on its axis once approximately every 24 hours. They make connections between the rotation of the earth and day/night, and the apparent movement of the sun, moon, and stars across the sky, as well as changes that occur in the observable shape of the moon over a month. The unit wraps up as students learn about the brightness of stars, patterns they create in the sky, and why some stars and constellations can only be seen at certain times of the year.
Lesson Synopsis
Part 2- The Light In Our Night Sky...Stars lesson begins with a demonstration using flashlights with three different colored bulbs to illustrate how the temperature of a star determines its color. Then students read about stars and their colors and take part in an activity to classify them. They use this information to diagram the different colors of stars according to their brightness, temperatures, and color using the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram and a series of questions to summarize their understanding. At the end of the lesson, students fill out a 3-2-1 exit ticket related to a star's brightness and distance.
Next Generation Science Standards
This lesson will address and support future lessons on the following NGSS Standard(s):
Scientific & Engineering Practices
Students are engaged in the following scientific and engineering practices...
2.) Developing and Using Models: Students develop a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram to analyze and describe the brightness, distance, size, and temperature of stars.
Part 2- The Light In Our Night Sky...Stars lesson will correlate to other interdisciplinary areas. These Crosscutting Concepts include:
3.) Scale, Proportion, and Quantity: Students construct an explanation that the apparent brightness of stars is due to their relative distances from the Earth.
Disciplinary Core Ideas within this lesson include:
ESS1.A: The Universe and its Stars
ESS1.B: Earth and the Solar System
Classroom Management Considerations
Importance of Modeling to Develop Student
Responsibility, Accountability, and Independence
Depending upon the time of year, this lesson is taught, teachers should consider modeling how groups should work together; establish group norms for activities, class discussions, and partner talks. In addition, it is important to model think aloud strategies. This sets up students to be more expressive and develop thinking skills during an activity. The first half of the year, I model what group work and/or talks "look like and sound like." I intervene the moment students are off task with reminders and redirection. By the second and last half of the year, I am able to ask students, "Who can give of three reminders for group activities to be successful?" Who can tell us two reminders for partner talks?" Students take responsibility for becoming successful learners. Again before teaching this lesson, consider the time of year, it may be necessary to do a lot of front loading to get students to eventually become more independent and transition through the lessons in a timely manner.
Activating Prior Knowledge
I have students recall our flashlight activity from yesterday and have a volunteer share what we learned from it. Bigger stars are brighter and the closer a star is to Earth, the brighter it appears. I add on, our sun appears to be larger and brighter than the other stars in the sky to us because it is closer to Earth.
Sparking Curiosity
Then I say, "lets start off today with three flashlights." I point out that each flashlight has a different colored bulb in it, a red, yellow, and blue. I position the three flashlights so they shine on the whiteboard. These lights shining are examples of some colors of stars we see in the night sky. Then I ask, where else have you seen these colors emitted with extreme heat and light? I ask students to make an observation and to turn and talk with their group.
Then I project a video of a fire and ask students:
I explain that the colors changed as the temperature did, just like stars. The temperature determines the color: blue stars are hot and bright, red are the coolest and least bright, and yellow stars are in between.
Why Are Stars Different Colors?
I tell the students we are using our chromebooks to read further about why stars change colors. We read this article together. I pause along the way to clarify and check for understanding. I explain that every time we come across the word red, yellow, white, or blue, we will stop and discuss what what facts.
After reading the article I have them watch this minute and a half video. It a visual summary of the article we just read and helps students make the connection between a star's color and temperature.
I ask students to write a one sentence answer (on the back of their graphic organizer) to the question: What can we learn from a star's color? I am looking for students to show their understanding that a star's color can indicate the age of the star and its temperature. They should recognize that a blue star is very hot and is young. Whereas a red star is the coolest of all the stars and is nearing the end of its life. Yellow to white stars are between a red and blue star. They are cooler than blue stars, but warmer than red stars. These colors indicate they are about half way through their life span.
Graphing Stars By Temperature
I project this image of the Hertzsprung–Russell (HR) diagram and share that it was created by two astronomers, Ejnar Hertzsprung from Denmark and Henry Norris Russell from the United States. They both discovered that the brightness of a star depends on the surface temperature of the star and created this diagram to illustrate the brightness, temperature, and classes of stars.
I tell students they are going to create a Hertzsprung–Russell diagram to display the different colors of stars that we read about, red,yellow, white, and blue. I hand out a packet that contains a blank HR diagram and questions related to it. I explain the two parts to the class. The first part involves setting up the diagram. I guide through setting it up with labels, colors, and star outlines. As they set up their diagram, we talk about the relationships between temperature, luminosity, color, and size. Then I ask them to observe the graph more closely now that it is created. They write down any patterns they notice within the diagram. To help them grapple with their observations I tell them to think about the relationship between temperature, color, and brightness of stars. Using their observations, I lead them through a discussion about these characteristics. Our discussion focuses on the effect distance has on a star. I point out that the size and temperature of a star determines its color and its distance from the Earth affect luminosity we see in the night sky
After our discussion, I point out part 2 of the packet. Part 2 is a series of questions related to their HR diagram. It requires them to analyze the graph by identifying specific parts of it, types of stars, how the stars are arranged on it, etc. I remind them of our discussion about distance, luminosity, color, and size. These questions are intended to help students grapple with why some stars appear brighter than others. They work on these questions independently for the remainder of class and finish for homework if needed. I collect them and as an assessment to lesson. I use this rubric assess students understanding.

There appears to be a confusion regarding the role of the immune system and the importance of our pH levels. Let me clarify:
It is well known that the body's ability to fight illness, including cancer, is determined by the strength of the immune system. In order for this to occur, it's important to provide the body with a unique combination of natural, nutritional and chemical components.
The immune system is those intelligent, highly-trained biological defenders that are inherently set to identify, attack and destroy disease-causing enemies. This system contains a built-in cellular memory that rarely forgets an enemy, even if somewhat disguised to evade detection.
Let's say you are immunized against a specific disease like tuberculosis. The introduction of the tuberculosis germ into the body is not recognized by the immune system, therefore, its surveillance system identifies it as an invader or antigen. Antigens are foreign substances that trigger the body's army with a call to "war," with specific orders to "destroy" by producing substances called antibodies--meaning "against foreign or unrecognizable bodies." The antibodies produced by the body are specific only to that antigen. Therefore, if exposed to tuberculosis again, the body will immediately recognize it as an enemy, build its resistance army of invaders and destroy it.
If the immune system is destroyed or weakened by, let's say, drugs, excessive stress, chemotherapy or a disorder of autointoxication, it loses its ability to fully protect us against invading enemies.
Likewise, if our army gets paranoid and overzealous during their surveillance, they can target healthy cells for destruction--thus the birth of autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivities and scleroderma, to mention a few.
In this age of high toxic exposures affecting our liver, lungs and metabolic functions, it is literally a matter of "life or death," directly proportionate to the ability of our immune system to protect us.
Contaminants are everywhere, in our air, food, water and even medications--prescription and over-the-counter. We cannot totally avoid exposures in today's modern world, however, if the body is given what it needs to detoxify, rebuild and repair, most forms of illnesses can be reversed or prevented naturally.
pH: THE IMMUNE SYSTEM'S SECRET WEAPON
It is important to create an intestinal ecosystem unfriendly to uninvited organisms by maintaining an alkaline environment to assist in maintaining a neutral pH of between 7.0 and 7.2 to discourage parasites, yeast, bacteria, fungus, mold and viruses--pH values are vital in maintaining a strong immune system because these organisms thrive in an acid environment.
Nations spend trillions of dollars each year preparing their defense systems against unfriendly foreign invaders--just as important is building our body's defense system.
The most powerful drugs cannot totally destroy diseased cells; the body must have the ability to replace diseased cells with healthy ones. The job of the immune system is as a life-giving system.
According to Dr. G. H. Earp Thomas, a soil and plant scientist, wheatgrass contains vital nutrients which he feels could serve as regenerative and protective mechanisms for human health. His findings concluded that fresh wheatgrass juice was theoretically capable of sustaining human life for weeks and even months at a time.
According to famed nutritionist Ann Wigmore, "Wheatgrass juice is perhaps the most powerful and safest healing aid there is. Not because it can attack and destroy bacteria or malignant cells (like some drugs, only without the side-effects) but because it has the ability to strengthen the whole body by bolstering its immune system." This ability is attributed to a unique combination of nutritional and chemical values contained in wheatgrass juice.
Experience and research taught me, a doctor and recovered victim of a life-threatening immune system disorder, that the secret to rebuilding the immune system was hidden in tiny blades of grass containing high chlorophyll content--assisting the blood to detoxify and rebuild.
The sidebar (at right) lists some of the benefits of wheatgrass as documented by internationally respected health professionals such as nutritionist Ann Wigmore, soil and plant scientist Dr. Thomas, medical researcher Dr. Charles Schnabel, and my book, Invisible Illnesses.
Until recently, those choosing to take full advantage of the benefits of wheatgrass had only one choice--to juice fresh wheatgrass. Juicing every day is not something I personally enjoyed, although I did so during my illness and recovery until a client introduced me to Sweet Wheat® (as discussed in detail in my book, Invisible Illnesses).
Finally, there was a convenient option. One teaspoon of Sweet Wheat powder mixed with one ounce of water is a premier shot of wheatgrass juice. It is also available in capsules--two capsules are equivalent to one teaspoon of powder.
As a doctor and natural health journalist, I'm always skeptical until I thoroughly conduct my research (that's the health detective in me). When I found out Sweet Wheat is grown in "perfect" conditions in climate-controlled greenhouses, I was admittedly excited--but there's still more. It is also grown in organic soil enriched with minerals, irrigated with spring water and plenty of nature's solar energy--sunshine, and... that's still not all. Sweet Wheat is also grown and harvested under strict, 100 percent certified organic and kosher guidelines and nothing is added--no fillers, additives, sweeteners or binders. Finally, it is freeze-dried to maintain the highest possible integrity and then conveniently packaged in either vegetarian capsules or powder--convenient for topical use.
If you're gluten intolerant, don't worry about wheatgrass juice--gluten is contained in the actual wheat grain. However, when the young leaves of the wheat grain are harvested and juiced, that juice does not contain wheat or gluten--it becomes a whole green food, actually a vegetable, with all the health-enhancing benefits intact.
I'm referring to wheatgrass juice, of course. An additional quality of this green nectar is that it also contains folic acid and iron--essential to pregnant women. The benefit of the juice not only supports mother's health but is also transferred to the fetus, including the ability to counteract yeast that may be transferred through the birth canal, and later breast-feeding. It boosts the immune system to support healthy red blood cells to give the baby a strong, healthy foundation on which to build health.
If you're not completely convinced of the health benefits of wheatgrass, or that anything other than fresh wheatgrass juice would be as nutritionally beneficial, allow me to share the study I conducted.
After my life-threatening accident and the subsequent invisible illnesses of leaky gut, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and multiple chemical sensitivities, I had a blood test called "live cell microscopy" performed every three to six months--a sort of natural check-up to monitor my healing progress. This laboratory test actually allows the patient and technician to view the blood to observe the health and integrity of the cells (red and white)--as fully described in my first book, I Was Poisoned By My Body.
I consumed fresh wheatgrass juice for 90 days and saw the amazing results as the juice improved the health of my red blood cells, which had been severely compromised from a condition called leaky gut syndrome or autointoxication. Therefore, before starting Sweet Wheat, I had my blood tested to actually have something to compare. I used Sweet Wheat for 90 days and was then re-tested. The cell integrity was the same as when I used fresh juice--the red blood cells continued to improve, they were "free-floating" with increased speed (oxygen) and the cellular membrane was healthy. This testing method allowed me to see "with my own eyes" the benefits of wheatgrass juice while monitoring the progress of my entire therapy and detoxification program for repairing my immune system and overall health.
I can personally attest to the health benefits of "Mother Nature's" naturally condensed "solar energy" in those little blades of wheatgrass.

Sól: The sun, and personified goddess of the sun. Eaten by a wolf at Ragnarøkkr, now succeeded by her daughter.

West Hazel: A suburb in Pandemonium City.
Wyrd, the: Fate or destiny. Also used to refer to the stories mortals tell about themselves, their gods, and the world around them.

Wyrdtouched: Mortals affected by the Wyrd. Can include dead Wyrdborn reincarnated into mortal bodies, such as the case with Em and Wayne, or mortals who ascend to godhood, such as Sigyn. Wyrdborn can also intentionally create their own Wyrdtouched, though this is generally thought to be more trouble than it's worth.
Yggdrasill: The world tree. A giant ash tree that holds within its branches the nine realms depicted in Norse mythology.
Ymir: The first jötunn. It's said that, when he died, his body formed the world.
ýr: A rune. Has no direct English equivalent, but was used to represent the –r sound at the end of words. When used in magic, it represents the yew tree.

The first thing I did was point towards cygnus's rear end, to drink in the multitude of stars in the milky way. Pretty awesome in the 1.8 degree field of view and a mere 40x magnifiation.
Next I thought I'd find the Andromeda Galaxy. It wasn't hard to find, once I'd worked out how huge the Andromeda constellation is. The core was nicely visible as were two companion galaxies, all in the field of view at once. Despite the light sky, it was possible to see the orientation of the disc, a hazy elongated ellipse stretching out of view either way. Nice.

In seconds everyone in Therakles' remarkably extensive quarters was awake, even Cassiope who came to the window pulling on her tunic.
"Not so close that anyone on the outside can see you please, ladies." Therakles unfolded himself from a shadow in the heavy drape beside the window, still in the clothes he'd been wearing the previous evening. "You should be a surprise for whoever did this."
"Who was it?" Hesiope asked the question as she did up the ties on her jerkin.
Therakles' answer was forestalled by a short, syncopated knock on the door of his quarters. "I have to get this, excuse me." He almost skimmed across the floor, the snake looped around his shoulders becoming obvious for the first time. He unlocked and opened the door, bowing to the man who came through it pulling a blanket wrapped woman behind him. "Majesties."
"You were right and I was wrong," admitted King Perdikkas. "Half-brother, may we shelter with you and take counsel to end this threat?"
"Of course," Therakles closed the door and locked it behind them. "I am loyal."
"Our body servants are dead," Queen Semestra reported. "Poisoned probably. Do you know of any other moves against us?"
"They tried to kill your couriers." Therakles smiled, "But I've spent my evening surrounded by beauty, so they failed."[i]
[i] Therakles' familiar is a pantry snake/grass snake hybrid. Essentially this is a Lamprophis/Opheodrys hybrid. It is green with copper/red patterning.

An American Pit Bull Terrier with a heart of gold and a very important mission has taken top honors at the third annual Hero Dog Awards, hosted by animal welfare organization the American Humane Association (AHA) on Saturday, October 5, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, Calif.
The AHA has been around for more than 130 years, and the organization's leadership is quite proud to continue the tradition of honoring the nation's most remarkable canines in 2013.
"The American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards were created to honor some of the most extraordinary heroes the world has ever known, the very best of our 'best friends' — ordinary dogs who do extraordinary things," President and CEO of the AHA, Dr. Robin Ganzert, said in a statement.
Elle, a Pit Bull and accomplished therapy dog from Roanoke Rapids, N.C., was awarded the title "American Hero Dog" at the 2013 gala, accepting the award alongside her owner and handler, Leah Brewer.
Extraordinary Elle has earned accolades for her work teaching dog safety to kids, an important service because more than 2 million children are bitten by dogs every year. She has also helped many people in North Carolina and elsewhere overcome their fear of dogs, gently showering them with affection and showing them it's okay to pet a dog without being afraid.
Recently, Elle and Brewer have started a therapy dog reading program called "Tail Wagging Tales" to help children strengthen their reading skills and boost their confidence. Elle visits kids in elementary schools, and the students take turns reading aloud to the sweet Pittie for 20 minutes at a time.
"She provides confidence for students and a comforting ear," Brewer tells TODAY.com.
Together, Elle and Brewer educate families about responsible pet ownership and raise awareness about misunderstood dog breeds and breed prejudice. As this year's "American Hero Dog," Elle is not only representing her species, but her breed, too.
"Choosing a top dog is difficult because they are all so terrific, but we are proud to announce Elle as the top American Hero Dog for 2013," Dr. Ganzert explained. "As an organization that for years has fought breed-specific legislation (BSL), we are also pleased to honor a breed that has been often been unjustly maligned. We hope that Elle's story will help to underscore the many tremendously positive qualities of this breed."
Elle was chosen from a nominee pool that included seven other amazing dogs, all of whom went on to take the cake in each of their respective categories:
- Midvale, Utah's Cassidy, a three-legged rescue dog rescued from the trash three years ago, was honored in the Emerging Hero Dogs category for his work visiting rehabilitation centers for disabled children.
- Labrador–Golden Retriever mix (Goldador) Jingles from Amsterdam, N.Y., took the Guide Dog category for the love and companionship he shows his owner Karen Ann, who suffers from multiple disabilities.
- Bellingham, Wash., rescue dog Lola, who helps her hearing impaired owner Charlene do day-to-day activities, earned the top title in the Hearing Dog category.
- Retired Locust Grove, Georgia K9 Lakota won the Law Enforcement/Arson Dog category after surviving a devastating car accident and, along with his partner, Officer Travis Fox, helping to change protection laws for police dogs.
- The Military Dog category award was won by Explosive Detection Dog CWD Carlos, a Military Working Dog who, for five years, protected U.S. troops in Baghdad and Afghanistan before retiring in 2011. After suffering neglect early on in his retirement, CWD Carlos has since been adopted by a loving family in Colorado Springs, Colo., where he continues his work visiting schools despite some challenging medical issues.
- Search and Rescue dog John D of Little Rock, Arkansas was awarded top dog in the Search and Rescue Dog category for recovering the body of a drowned boy and comforting the boy's mother in her time of grief. John D also moonlights as a cancer detection dog, sniffing out ovarian and other cancers and helping teach other canines to do the same.
- And lastly, winner of the Service Dog category, SD Bronx was honored for his work as a seizure alert dog for his 14-year-old owner.
"These courageous canines have gone above and beyond the call of duty, saving lives on the battlefield, comforting the ill, aged and afflicted, bringing hope to those who have lost it and reminding us of the powerful, age-old bond between animals and people," Dr. Ganzert added.
Learn more about these hero dogs and more while watching the 2013 Hero Dog Awards, which will be broadcast nationwide on October 30 at 8:00 p.m./7:00 p.m. CST on the Hallmark Channel.

Severe storms, such as thunderstorms and hurricanes, can produce concentrated windstorms called tornadoes. Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air created where warm, moist air intersects with cold, dry air. Tornadoes have a much more localized impact than a hurricane or nor'easter and have been known to destroy one building while leaving a nearby building virtually unharmed.
Tornadoes can produce a path of destruction from 0.01 mile wide to greater than 1 mile wide but generally tornadoes are less than 0.6 mile in width. In terms of length, paths of destruction vary from a few hundred feet to several miles in length. The duration of a tornado is typically less than 30 minutes.
The destruction caused by tornadoes may range from light to severe depending on the intensity of the storm and the travel path. Typically, tornadoes cause the greatest damages to structures of light construction, such as residential homes. The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale) is used to rate a tornado's strength.
Although tornadoes can occur at any time of the year in Forsyth County, tornadoes are most likely to occur during the spring and early summer months of March through June. Tornadoes, during these months, tend to be the strongest, resulting in the greatest amount of physical harm and property damage. Tornadoes can occur at any time of day but are mostly likely to form between the hours of 3 p.m. and 9 p.m.
The most recent storm involving a tornado in Forsyth County occurred on May 8, 2008. Be prepared for these storms!
