The 2018 Northern Hemisphere Winter Solstice/Southern Hemisphere Summer Solstice happens 2:23 pm PST, 5:23 pm EST, 10:23 pm GMT on December 21, 2018. This is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, and the longest in the Southern! In the North the Solar force will begin to get longer and stronger, a welcome relief for those of us who need lots of sunshine to keep our dispositions equally sunny. The Winter Solstice is a special time for me, where I do a specific ritual every year that yields great results which I'll explain in part 2. For now, let's discuss the Solstice chart.
It has been put forth over the centuries that the charts done for the Solstices and Equinoxes give snapshots of what we can expect during that season. In this article, I'll offer you some insights about the Solstice chart, and discuss how this Solstice relates to the very important past Winter Solstices that were conjunct Pluto at the Galactic Center, since those profoundly impacted how we will experience the major shifts happening at this Solstice.
Today is the last day of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, the last day of Spring in the Southern. If you're wondering how I reconcile the seemingly opposing energies between the hemispheres, when you're done here please take a look at The Mirroring of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere Year Cycles in Astrology. It may help readers "down under" see how the important points of seasonal change, though opposite in physical manifestation, actually have similar challenges at each point of shift.
There is an old tradition that offers us two times when "the year begins," one at the Vernal Equinox, the other at the Autumnal. Perhaps that tradition came from explorers who saw the seasons flip between the Northern and Southern, going from the beginning of warm to the beginning of cold as they moved up and down the latitudes.
This is an excellent time for looking at what has ended, what is emerging, and making decisions about how we want to live in 2019. We up North have now reaped the harvest of what we've done and not done, and can figure out how we want to claim our power in 2019. In the Southern latitudes, you've finished your "Spring planting," and will now see how these labors will come to fulfillment over the next 90 days.
Whether North or South, keep following through on the emergent archetypes you've already begun to live, since this is the time to embrace personal power in some public way. Regardless of where we live, what follows explores elements we all can expect to experience over the next 13 weeks.
As mentioned, the charts for the Summer and Winter Solstices provide guideposts for what will follow in the 90 days after those points in time, just as charts for the Vernal and Autumnal Equinox each show what will follow in the period after those points in time. In this chart, the HUGE factor dominating the entire chart is the Sun conjunct Saturn, along with Mercury conjunct Jupiter and both biseptile Mars. As we have a Full Moon from 1 Cancer to the Sun at 1 Capricorn, it clearly indicates the coming season will be one of people coming to power, focused through changing allegiances!
Obviously, since the Sun is the key to the Solstice, the aspects it makes are extremely important. In this December 2018 Solstice chart, the Sun is semi-square Venus, binovile Mars, conjunct Saturn, and quintile Neptune.
This means major themes of the next 90 days involve a tremendous potential to cultivate a gift of intuition, or simply knowing how to "give the people what they want." Relationships that move us will show us "the world of the 5 senses and the mind as the playground of God and Soul," and help us claim the power to know what to do and when. With the Sun conjunct Saturn in Capricorn, it's another year of claiming power through discipline, maturity, and patience.
There are a host of strong forming and closely partile separating aspects in this chart! The Moon is biquintile Venus, square Mars, quadranovile Saturn, septile Uranus, and quincunx Pluto. This will bring seed knowledge that will clarify our part in "the Cosmic Choir," and when most aggravated, don't create more aggravations through misdirected anger or frustration! Hard adjustments may be required to be more true to yourself and accept new energies, while shaking off old social rigidity and letting go of illusions of the ego mind will prove most productive to your heart and magnetism.
Other aspects show Mercury and Jupiter biseptile Mars, conjunct Jupiter, semisextile Saturn, square Neptune, and novile Pluto; Venus is pentelftile Uranus, trine Neptune, and bielftile Pluto; Mars is quintile Saturn, and decile Uranus; Saturn is tredecile Uranus, sextile Neptune, and conjunct Pluto; and Uranus is semisquare Neptune and trielftile Pluto.
So overall there's a lot of specialization, forced growth, and strong energy releases promised by the biseptiles between Mercury and Jupiter with Mars, released by the square between the Moon and Mars. This promises radical emergences, reorientations, and we will see new faces come to power. Of course, expect power conflicts between the old and what is emerging. There will be meltdowns as well, with maximum stress on those with planets or power points near 9-15 and 18-25 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.
So What's Been Going On Before Now?
In a brief nod to what "brought us to this dance" in years past, the conjunction of the Sun with Pluto was exact or very close back when Pluto was exactly conjunct the Galactic Center between 2006-2009. This set some extremely long wave energies into play on our Earth, and marked a huge renewal for the next 250 years, mas or menos. We are now solidly launched into that new Era. This particular Solstice will codify some of the Galactic energies because of the conjunction of the Sun and Saturn on the GC.
The Sun square Uranus was close or exact on Winter Solstice 2010, 2011 (exact!) and 2012. So the seed forms created by the Sun and Pluto when they powered up the Galactic Center energies for the next "season of the Millennium" back in 2006-2009 were moved into revolutionary newness by Uranus in the first sign of the zodiac since then.
Pluto offers us seeds to sprout or seeds of future weeds to be pulled before they grow, and so the years Pluto spent at the GC sent the world "galactic seeds" that have been hidden up to now. The 2017 Solstice brought those hidden seeds into manifestation via the Sun conjunct Saturn at the Galactic Center. We have now turned the corner as a planet and humanity relative to the Galactic Wisdom we have been learning to know in seed form these past 12 years, and are now entering the second year of this new Era.
Other Factors
This is the Second December Solstice with Saturn in Capricorn, so besides the Sun shining a big light on the Galactic Center, we also have Saturn dominating the stage by being in its home sign, now on the 11th degree of Capricorn. Because Saturn is the ruler of the Sun, the next year will open us to newer, more mature forms of Capricorn energy and expression in our lives wherever we have the second decan of Capricorn in our charts.
2016 was about the lessons of 11 Sag, while 2017 featured the themes of 21 Sag. Those years restructured wherever we have Sag in our charts. 2018 was about the lesson of 1 Capricorn. 2019 will feature the lessons of 11 Capricorn, so study up on them. (Yes, you may find some interesting information by putting the Solstice chart on top of yours, and see where those transits fall.)
Saturn ruling the Sun is a primary dispositor influence, and so Saturn always plays a big part in the December through March season. On this Solstice, Saturn has nothing but extraordinarily favorable aspects, so make the most of the next 90 days using Saturn's virtues and strengths to guide your Light.
At this time, Mercury and Jupiter at 10 Sag lead the Sun, showing the fusion of the lower mind and the Higher Mind in the sign of the Higher Mind is the gateway to being led to the Light! Keep a sense of humor, vision, and dance into the greater life, willingly accepting what is offered that requires your forced growth. If you're ambitious, you win the prize!

Working principle and structure analysis of planetary gear set
Planetary gear transmission principle
Most of the gears we know are gears with a fixed axis of rotation. For example, mechanical clocks, ordinary mechanical gearboxes, and reducers. Although all the gears above are rotating, their rotation center (which coincides with the center of the circle) is often mounted on the casing through a bearing. Therefore, their rotation axis They are fixed relative to the casing, so they are also called "fixed shaft gear transmission."
There must be movement. Correspondingly, there is a less well-known type of gears called "planetary gears" whose axis of rotation is not fixed, but is mounted on a rotatable bracket (blue) (Figure The black part is the housing, and the yellow represents the bearing). Planetary gears (green) can rotate around their own axis of rotation (BB) like fixed shaft gears, their axis of rotation also follows the blue carrier (called planet carrier) around the axis of other gears (AA) Rotate. The rotation around its own axis is called "rotation", and the rotation around the axis of other gears is called "revolution", just like the planets in the solar system, hence the name "planetary gear".
Just like the solar system, the gears with fixed axes that become the center of planetary gear revolution are called "sun gears", as shown in the red gears. There are usually two meshing points on one planetary gear or on two mutually fixed planetary gears, which are in relationship with the two sun gears respectively. As shown in the picture on the right, the gray internal gear axis coincides with the red external gear axis, which is also the sun gear.
The principle of gear transmission with a fixed axis is very simple. In a pair of gears that mesh with each other, one gear is used as the driving wheel, and power is transmitted from it, and the other gear is used as a driven wheel, and the power is output from it. Some gears are only used as transfer stations, one side meshes with the driving wheel and the other side meshes with the driven wheel, and power passes through it.
Planetary gear transmission characteristics
Compared with ordinary gear transmission, planetary gear transmission has a series of outstanding advantages when their parts materials, mechanical properties, manufacturing accuracy, working conditions, etc. are the same, so it is often used as a planetary reducer/planet Gear reducer, speed increaser, differential and reversing mechanism, and other special purposes. The main features of planetary gear transmission are as follows:
(1) The planetary reducer is small in size, light in weight, compact in structure, large in transmission power, and high in load capacity; this feature is determined by the internal factors such as the structure of the planetary gear transmission, as shown in the figure below.
A. The planetary reducer has the principle of power splitting. Several identical planetary gears are evenly distributed around the center wheel to share the load, so that the load on each gear is smaller, and the corresponding gear modulus can be smaller. In the case of uniform load, as the planetary gear increases, its outer dimensions decrease.
B. Planetary reducer makes reasonable use of internal gearing. Make full use of the high internal meshing carrying capacity and the space volume of the internal gear (or internal gear ring), thereby reducing the radial and axial dimensions, making the structure compact and the carrying capacity high.
C. Planetary reducer is a coaxial transmission device. Each center wheel forms a coaxial transmission, and the input shaft and the output shaft are coaxial, so that the size of the transmission device in the length direction is greatly reduced.
(2) The planetary reducer has a large transmission ratio; as long as the type of planetary transmission and the gear allocation plan are appropriately selected, a few gears can be used to obtain a large transmission ratio. In a planetary mechanism that is not used as a power transmission but mainly used to transmit motion, its transmission ratio can reach several thousand. In addition, because the planetary gear transmission can rotate its three basic components, it can realize the synthesis and decomposition of motion, as well as complex motion such as stepped and continuously variable transmission.

Teacher: Mitsuyo WADA-MARCIANO
Course Code: JK19002
This course examines contemporary East Asian cinemas' transnational current at various levels of industry, genre, filmic style, and global commodification.
Despite Hollywood cinema's historical dominance of the global cinema market, the ways in which cinema is disseminated have never been monolithic. Such cultural traffic has occurred through negotiations among locales, regions, and nations, across Asian countries,
including Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea, and with Hollywood as well.
This 2-month intensive course, cosponsered with Transcultural Cinema Forum, scrutinizes the dynamic between the global and the local by focusing on those East Asian cinemas' strategies towards globalization and regionalization. The course has been constructed in multiple sections, investigating transcultural aspects in cinema with specific topics, such as "Children of the World (1940): Jewish Filmmakers in Exile in Occupied Shanghai, 1939-1945," "When Currents Collide: Chinese Independent Cinema and Japan."
This course is designed for all students who are interested in screen culture in Asia and other areas. Attending lectures, which will be held on Tuesdays in class, is mandatory in order to discuss both films and reading assignments during the classes. Due to the Covid-19, students reside outside Japan might need to participate via zoom (the zoom information will be provided later).
Course Information
Module: Research 1-3
CATS Requirements: BA 4th. year or above
Day/Period: Tue/4-5
Location: Sem. 11
Credits: 2
Course Goals
This class will give students the tools to map the current state of East Asian cinema and "transculturality" conformed among them, and to develop their original, compelling ideas on those films. All students will strengthen their ability to communicate clearly and make persuasive arguments orally and in writing. We will discuss various films from the PRC, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, and students will be assigned to see films outside a classroom due to the limitation of class hours.
By the end of this course, students are expected to be able to:
・draw on concepts from Film Studies to analyze a film's narrative and form, not just its content
・expand knowledge of issues in Asian and transnational cinemas, and apply critical frameworks, film theories, and historiographical approaches
・make original arguments and support them with evidence and a logical chain of reasoning
・communicate their ideas clearly in writing, discussions, and oral presentations
Course Schedule and Evaluation

Great facility, staff & teachers! This is our first daycare and our daughter started at 6 months and has thrived in the infant room. After warming up to the teachers the first few days, she now has a smile both arriving and leaving each day. As a first time parent, I also appreciate pictures and nap/feeding updates throughout the day via the Tadpoles app.

Both of my sons attended this center until they turned four years old. My oldest son has ADHD and impulse control difficulties, so it was very difficult to find a daycare that was sensitive to his needs. When he first attended Home Away III, I immediately knew it would be a good fit. He no longer came home crying and upset about things that happened at school. He was happy, he had fun and he even learned his ABCs/ the days of the week/ the months of the year.I observed a lesson once and I was impressed with the questions the teacher was asking the children. They seemed to enjoy the lesson and were engaged with the teacher. This child care center not only taught my sons important lessons, but they had a lot of fun while doing it. Unlike other PK-3 / PK-4 programs I have seen, the children are allowed to have fun while they are learning. There is plenty of time for pretend play. My favorite part is that TV is not a major part of the program. The children are only allowed to watch TV only one hour per week (the previous daycare my son attended put TV on for the children both in the morning and afternoon everyday). The other times, they are having fun and learning.My youngest son has severe food allergies, and they are very careful with his food preparation. I never felt worried that he might eat something he was not supposed. Also, both my sons have asthma and they were very diligent with giving them medication (as per my request).My sons both had wonderful teachers at this center. Currently, Ms. Maritza and Ms. Patti are my son's teachers. He has nothing but great things to say about them and I can tell that they really care for my son. The teachers in the toddler rooms have worked with my son as well, and he had good experiences with all of them.Overall, I would definitely recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a good place for their children. The class sizes are small, the teachers are great, and my children were always kept safe.

If you are looking for a clean and safe environment for your child, I highly recommend this daycare. My son attended Home Away III Child Care Center at the age of 2. As a first time mom, l was hesitant in enrolling him in a daycare but after visiting and researching various daycares, Home Away III Child Care Center was my choice. The staff was very understandable to my needs and made me feel comfortable in leaving him there. I enjoyed their feedback on how the day went with him, if he ate less than normal or did not nap etc. The environment was indicative of learning which is highly important to me. He was not playing all day but also learning and therefore, he had a great transition into Pre-K3. Because I had such a great experience with my son, I later enrolled my daughter. I also enrolled her at the age of 2. Again, a great experience from the staffing to the quality of care. I would give it more stars if I could!

IT Matters
Three years ago, Nicholas Carr created a firestorm when he hypothesized that information technology would become a commodity, like telephones, and that IT no longer would provide competitive advantage. His article in the Harvard Business Review caught many by surprise -- maybe just for the fact that somebody would actually write down what many were already thinking. The debate raged for months, with both sides -- especially those who thought Carr's hypothesis amounted to technology blasphemy -- becoming quite animated.
Three years later, little has been resolved when it comes to IT's place in the competitive business landscape. Is Carr's theory correct? Partially. But IT may not emerge entirely as a commodity as quickly as some think. As highlighted in this special issue of Wall Street & Technology, technology -- used innovatively and correctly -- is a competitive advantage. The profiles in the 2006 edition of WS&T's Gold Book stress just how important cutting-edge technology is to Wall Street firms. And with Reg NMS set to change the way the markets operate, all financial institutions need to invest in technology not just to keep pace, but to move ahead of the competition.
Whether or not Carr's prediction proves correct and IT (as we know it) becomes a commodity, one thing is certain: The competitive-advantage lifecycle is becoming shorter. Today's newest trading algorithm offers an advantage for only a short time before a competitor releases a rival product. It was only a few years ago when Credit Suisse first offered a trading algorithm to clients and gained a long head start on its competition. Likewise, other innovative technologies seem to have a viable shelf life of only a few months. This trend should force every executive to ask: "How much should a firm invest in technology under the auspices of creating competitive advantage."
But the better question really is where to invest. Since it is evident that Wall Street -- which already was heavily reliant on technology -- will become even more dependent on the latest, fastest and most innovative technology as the markets continue to become more electronic, firms need to make sure that their investments are going to the new technologies that really will provide a competitive advantage. The 30 executives profiled on the following pages offer a broad view on what they think the wise investments will be over the next year. They share their views on the most-pressing business issues, trends and, yes, how technology will provide a competitive advantage. On Wall Street, IT does matter.Greg MacSweeney is editorial director of InformationWeek Financial Services, whose brands include Wall Street & Technology, Bank Systems & Technology, Advanced Trading, and Insurance & Technology.

The LGBTQ group gives to fund all golf equipment at Yeshiva College
NEW YORK — An LGBTQ rights group offered to defund all clubs at New York's Yeshiva University on Tuesday after the organization suspended student activities because it did not have to recognize an LGBTQ group on campus.
Jewish Queer Youth, which sponsors Yeshiva University's YU Pride Alliance, said the university's decision to cancel all clubs "puts a target on the backs of undocumented undergraduates."
Jewish Queer Youth said it would fund all student clubs at the university in response to the ruling, which came after the Supreme Court ruled last week that the university must recognize the Pride Alliance. 'University.

"YU suspends all clubs because of gay students. Therefore, JQY will fund all clubs through gay students," said Jewish Queer Youth Executive Director Rachael Fried.
Groups can apply for up to $500 per event, and Jewish Queer Youth has pledged to raise $10,000 to continue fundraising activities on campus.
The Jewish Queer Youth funding proposal was first reported by Yeshiva University's independent student newspaper. Commentator.
Some of the other campus associations affected by the closure focus on politics, Shakespeare and zoology.
Jewish Queer Youth is a non-profit organization that supports young LGBTQ Jews, particularly those from the Orthodox, Hasidic, Sephardic, and Mizrahi communities. It has supported the Yeshiva University Pride Alliance since its inception in 2019.
The recognition would secure funding for the LGBTQ club and other benefits afforded to other student unions.
An online petition in support of Yeshiva University's LGBTQ community has garnered 74 pages of signatures from students, faculty and alumni.
Yeshiva University announced the closure of the clubs in an email to all undergraduate students on Friday.
The flagship university for the Modern-Orthodox community did not say how long the suspension would last, but said it would use the time to prepare for another action at the US Supreme Court.
Students pay $150 to $200 per semester to participate in various club activities as part of their tuition. At least one student's request to not have to pay those fees because the clubs are suspended has been denied.
The legal battle between the university and the Pride group began in 2020 when LGBTQ student activists filed a complaint with the city's Commission on Human Rights, accusing the university of discrimination, before filing a lawsuit against the university last year.
The legal dispute centers on whether the university is a secular institution that must abide by non-discrimination laws or a religious institution covered by 1st Amendment protections for free expression of beliefs.
Yeshiva University says recognizing the union violates its religious beliefs. Same-sex relationships and marriage are generally prohibited in the Orthodox Jewish community.
In June, a New York judge ruled that the university must recognize the union under a municipal human rights law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation.
The university appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn the New York court's decision. The court rejected the petition last week, meaning the university would have to recognize the union, at least temporarily.
The Supreme Court said the university must exhaust other remedies before hearing the case. The decision was made for procedural reasons and not for more important religious issues.
The judges who opposed the decision said the university could go back to the Supreme Court and "probably win" if it appealed. Rabbi Ari Berman, president of Yeshiva University, said the school would "follow their instructions."
The university announced the closure of the clubs the next day.
The court is largely conservative and has previously ruled in favor of religious groups.
The university, which has been forced by courts in the past to extend rights to gay and lesbian students, says it tries to strike a balance between welcoming LGBTQ students and refusing to recognize the Pride Union.
"Every faith-based university in the country has the right to work with its students, including LGBTQ students, to create communities, spaces and spaces consistent with their religious traditions," Berman said Thursday. "Yeshiva University is simply seeking the same self-determination."
"At the same time, because our commitment and love for our LGBTQ students is unwavering, we continue to offer an invitation to work together to create a campus life that is more inclusive and aligned with Torah values," he said.

Myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis is a rare long-term condition that causes certain muscles to become weak.
It mainly affects muscles that are controlled voluntarily often those controlling eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, chewing, swallowing and speaking.
Sometimes, the muscles that control breathing, neck and limb movements are alsoaffected.
The muscle weakness associated with myasthenia gravis is usually worse during, or just after, physical activity and improves with rest. The symptoms are often described as being at their worst when a person is tired, for example, at the end of the day.
In myasthenia gravis, the immune system produces antibodies (proteins) that block or damage muscle receptor cells.
This prevents messages being passed from the nerve endings to the muscles, which results in the muscles not contracting (tightening) and becoming weak.
It's not fully understood why some people's immune systems produce specific antibodies thatblock the nerve's signal to themuscle.
They may suspect myasthenia gravisif youreye movements are impairedor if you have muscle weakness but you're still able to feel things. Around half of people with myasthenia gravis initially develop symptoms of double vision or eyelid droop, with more than 90% of people developing these symptoms at some point during the illness.
You may be referred to a neurologist (specialist innervous system disorders), whowill carry out sometests to help confirm the diagnosis.
The thymus gland is found underneath the breastbone and is part of the immune system. It's often abnormal in people withmyasthenia gravis.
Removing a thymus gland tumour (thymoma) usually has little or no effect on the underlying myasthenia gravis.
Myasthenia gravis is a rare condition, affecting about 15 in every 100,000 people in the UK.
It can develop at any age, but most commonly affects women under 40 years of age and men over 60. Cases of myasthenia gravis are increasing, particularly in people over 50, but the reasons for this increase aren't fully understood.
If you havemyasthenia gravis, your clinical team will pass information about you on to the National Congenital Anomaly and Rare Diseases Registration Service (NCARDRS).
This helps scientists look for better ways to prevent and treat this condition. You can opt out of the register at any time.
Myasthenia gravis is a rare long-term condition that causes certain muscles in the body to become weak.
Muscle weakness is the main symptom of myasthenia gravis. The eye and facial muscles and those that control swallowing are commonly affected.
Myasthenia gravis is caused by a problem with the transmission of nerve signals to the muscles.
Confirming a diagnosis of myasthenia gravis can take a long time because the condition is rare and muscle weakness is a symptom of many different conditions.
There is no cure for myasthenia gravis, but treatments are available to help control the symptoms.

Reviews of the The Flower Bride Online Slot Game
Discover the passion of The Flower Bride online slot. This visually attractive and romantically charged game has captivating animations and images that unite the two lovers of the Renaissance era. Along with wild symbols, golden jewels, and additional characters, this slot game has five reels, four rows, and a total of four rows and five columns.
At the best online slots sites, you may play on desktop computers, mobile devices running iOS, Android, and Windows, and even on tablets. Features include wild replacements and a free games round with a symbol gathering method. Gather a bouquet of roses to increase your chances of winning during the free spins and earn up to 2227 times the amount you wagered. The Flower Bride is a game that has an average return of 96% and has a medium level of volatility. Today is the day to fall in love with this magnificent game.
Tutorial on How to Play the Slot Machine, "Flower Bride"
This romantic game takes place inside the confines of a castle as the setting. A charming music is playing in the background while the reels turn, and there are colorful flowers wrapping around the 5×4 symbol grid. The romantic theme is carried over to the playing card symbols, which are shown as swirling patterns, as well as the golden tiara and goblet, the pink wild symbol, and the three characters. Since there is no previous information available, we can only speculate that the two male characters are vying for the attention of the lovely lady.
The Flower Bride slot machine from High 5 Games may be played with up to 60 coins for a wagering range of $0.60 to $45.00. It is really simple to get started, and all it takes to change the stakes is a few clicks on the buttons labeled with directional arrows. Control choices include automatically spinning the reels by tapping the button with the circular arrows, and you may see the paytable by clicking the plus symbol, followed by the information tab.
In this game, there are no traditional paylines; instead, you win when you get matching symbols on linked reels starting from the left. There are a total of 1024 different ways to win. If the most valuable symbol, the lady, appears on 3, 4, or all 5 reels, you will earn 50, 175 or 350 coins, respectively, depending on which combination she completes. Any time a symbol appears more than once on a reel, it doubles the reward, so you may quickly collect higher-values than those listed on the paytable.
All of the controls, aesthetic, and features are the same throughout the desktop and mobile versions of The Flower Bride, so you won't lose out on anything whether you play on a smartphone or tablet.
Free Spins, in Addition to Other The Flower Bride Slot Includes the Following Features
The pink flower wild symbol is exclusive to the middle three reels, yet it fulfills the traditional role of a wild symbol and may substitute for other symbols to help players achieve winning combinations. The only sign that it cannot act as a replacement for is the pink rose, which represents a unique bonus scatter symbol. If the rose symbol appears on all five reels at the same time, the player is awarded six free spins; however, numerous roses appearing on any one reel might increase the total number of free games won.
During the whole of the free spins bonus round, a feature known as Collection is active. Symbols of a single red rose may now appear at any moment, and each one awards 1 times the amount of your entire stake. After you have collected 5 single roses, you will begin to see double rose symbols, and each of them is worth 2 times the original bet. If you collect 10 symbols of the double rose, then any remaining free games will have triple roses instead of double flowers. Each triple rose awards three times the original wager. When everything is added up, the rose collecting function has the potential to result in a sizeable sum, which you may claim after the free games have concluded.
Win Potential, Returns on Average, and the Level of Volatility in the Online Slot Game "The Flower Bride" The Flower Bride slot machine offers a maximum payout of 2227 times your wager when playing at the maximum stake of 450 dollars. This translates to a total prize pool of 100,215 dollars. The total return to players percentage of 96% is satisfactory for a game with mild volatility such as this one, even if it is a bit lower than what many other games provide.
When compared to other games, the medium volatility has an average payout frequency and pays rewards of an average magnitude throughout the course of its lifetime. Because it is such a common format, there is a good chance that you won't have to wait too long for another victory.

Back Bigger And Better Than Ever
Wakey, wakey rise and shine, those enfants terrible of Manchester are back, and they have an album you should at least listen to. But this is more than just a wake up call, this is Oasis rediscovering their rock and roll roots and the album is a tribute to that. If you aren't tapping in rhythm at first you will be by the end of the album. It is hard to believe that it is over ten years since "Definitely Maybe" hit the records shops and changed our perception of modern rock and roll. That was a defining album and once again Oasis have produced a defining album that they can be proud of.
The album has a ballsy opening with "Turn Up The Sun", very reminiscent of previous opening songs on Oasis' albums. This is a very solidly written song by Andy Bell and the vocals by Liam sound as if he is singing with conviction. Fuelled by Jack Daniels, and an old organ bought on ebay, Noel wrote "Mucky Fingers", which really shows the influence of Velvet Underground. Noel originally had wanted this to be the first single from the album, and I have to agree that it is one of the best tracks presented.
"Lyla", the first single from the album, is probably not the best track here, with "The Importance of Being Idle" being a fantastic song written by Noel. The lyrics are magnificent and this wouldn't have looked out of place on "Definitely Maybe" or even "What's The Story Morning Glory".
"Love Like A Bomb", "The Meaning Of Soul" and "Guess God Thinks I'm Abel" have been written by Liam. "Love Like A Bomb" sounds like it is very heavily influenced by the Beatles, and Liam said that he was thing of "Julie fucking Christie" at the time of writing the song. Where as "Guess God Thinks I'm Abel" is about a conversation Liam has with God, in a pub, who tells Liam that he is Abel. Great track, and thank God for the British Boozer!
The album closes with a Noel written track "Let There Be Love", this is a beautiful song, that is sung both by Noel and Liam. It is such a fitting end to what is a fantastic album.
Oasis are back, and this long awaited album is one of the best albums they have ever done. This will not disappoint the fans, Oasis are back kicking arses, playing Rock and Roll.

On Sunday
night, Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks became the latest Seattle-area
product to win an NBA title after his team dispatched the Miami Heat 105-95 in
Game 6 of the Finals. The former Franklin High star scored 27 points in the
deciding game. So how many Seattle-area players have won a championship? Just
Nichols, 1957, Boston Celtics: Nichols, far right, attended Everett High School
before splitting his college career between Washington and USC. The 6-foot-7
forward and center played six seasons in the NBA with the Washington
Capitols, Tri-Cities Blackhawks and Milwaukee Hawks before hitching his wagon to Bill Russell, second
from right, and the Celtics for his final three seasons. In 1957, those Celtics
beat the St. Louis Hawks in seven games. Nichols retired in 1958 and later
served as the team dentist for the Huskies and the Sonics. He died in 1992.
Richardson Jr., 1983, Philadelphia 76ers: Richardson starred at O'Dea and
Seattle U before being drafted by the Sixers in 1979. During the 1982-83 NBA
season, the 6-foot-3 guard found himself coming off the bench for a team that
included Moses Malone, Julius Erving, Maurice Cheeks, Andrew Toney and Bobby
Jones. That Sixers team swept the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals and lost
just one game the entire postseason. Richardson, whose father was a Washington
State track star, finished his career with the Indiana Pacers and returned to
Seattle, where he has worked as a teacher and administrator.
James Edwards, 1989 and 1990, Detroit Pistons; 1996, Chicago
Bulls: Edwards, a 7-foot center from Roosevelt High, played 19 seasons in the NBA.
The Huskies star won titles in 1989 and 1990 with the Bad Boys Pistons, beating
the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers, respectively. He later
hooked up with Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls to win a third title in 1996 in
his final NBA season.
Brian Scalabrine, 2008, Boston Celtics: Scalabrine, a
6-foot-9 center/forward from Enumclaw High, won and NBA title without even
breaking a sweat. The former USC star wasn't on the Celtics roster for the
Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. He got his ring for wearing a jacket and
tie on the sideline.

Our Vision
At DRNA, we believe in our cutting-edge, yet cost-effective solutions delivered directly to dentists. We look forward to putting money back in the pockets of dentists, like you, while providing you with quality compliance products at the lowest possible cost.
On a global scale, we are committed to enhancing human health and safety worldwide by upholding the requirements and guidelines presented by the Minamata Convention.
What is the Minamata Convention?
The Minamata Convention on Mercury targets those human activities responsible for mercury pollution worldwide.
In the 1950s, Minimata, a city located in Japan, suffered a critical issue of mercury poisoning that lasted for decades, following the discharge of industrial wastewater into Minamata Bay from a chemical manufacturer. The resulting bioaccumulation of mercury in the bay's fish and shellfish resulted in severe illness in anyone who had consumed them. In some cases, the illness proved fatal or resulted in severe disabilities.
The United States signed the Minamata Convention on Mercury in 2013.
Why is Mercury Pollution a Global Issue?
Despite efforts here in the United States to minimize mercury emissions, global awareness and action are required for effective remediation. Unfortunately, mercury travels via air and water and can actually move thousands of miles as a pollutant. Some research asserts that global sources account for approximately 70% of mercury found in the United States.
Minamata Convention Requirements
With respect to the dental industry, the Minamata Convention calls for the eventual phase-out or reduction of mercury used in dental amalgam, along with strategies for safer storage and disposal.
For a complete list of requirements, click here.
What is DRI?
The first of these global efforts is a pilot project developed by United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), to install amalgam separators in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
The second part of this pilot project is to oversee that the collected wastes are disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. In addition to providing technology and recycling for this pilot project in Africa, DRI will avail itself of all the experience of DRNA in the US market to bring the best in waste management practices to those serving in both public and private sector dental clinics around the globe.

We filled half-square triangles with loops to create some fun texture. Now let's get a a little crazy and create some more fun with loops.
Work on the diagonal
It's time to branch out and try a little something different. Rather than travel horizontally or even vertically, we can choose a diagonal stitch path. We'll start simple with an easy loop design.
Start by choosing your grid. Go back to the beginning of our grid discussion to remind yourself how to do that. You can use the piecing or mark a grid on your fabric using your favorite removable marking tool.
Then choose your path. Here is what I chose:
A few things to note:
In order to make this as continuous as possible, I started at the red circle and went in a north-east direction.
When I get to the end of my grid, I traveled along the perimeter of the grid to the next intersection. Then I reversed direction and travel south-west.
Finger trace your path to help you figure it out.
Once you've got it, remember that you can mark guidelines if desired. Every little help can improve your results!
The design
This loop-de-loop design is fast and easy to stitch. Fill the grid box by adjusting the size of your loops.
Travel along the perimeter to the next intersection.
Then reverse direction and travel along the diagonal south-west.
Travel along the perimeter down to the next diagonal start.
Stitch loop-de-loops north-east to fill the next diagonal.
Rinse and repeat until your grid is filled.
What if…..we filled every other diagonal?
This will create some interesting texture!
You can probably figure out that you just need to travel across two grid boxes when you are traveling along the perimeter.
What if…….we change the number of loops?
When you don't stitch the grid, I really like the nesting effect you get. The double loops seem to nest into the adjoining diagonal rows.
What can you do with the other 4 basic shapes using this diagonal path?

Quilt every day!

Both headquarters of German carmakers BMW and Volkswagen have been searched on Tuesday by German prosecutors.
The raids on BMW in its company base Munich were part of a "preliminary investigation into suspected diesel emissions fraud," the Munich prosecutors said on Tuesday, cited by German media Deutsche Welle.
The prosecutors said that they had reason to believe that more than 11,000 BMW vehicles were equipped with "inadmissible defeat devices."
The carmaker recalled 11,700 cars to fix engine management software last month because of wrongly installed programming. The company said the software was "erroneously allocated" in vehicles of the BMW 750d and BMW M550d models.
On the same day, another German carmaker Volkswagen's headquarters were also raided by German prosecutors.
The new investigation relates to two press releases in late 2015, which admitted that Volkswagen had found "unexplained figures" in CO2 and fuel-usage readings, according to a company statement.
The first statement said the irregularities could affect around 800,000 cars. Then the second statement revised the figure significantly downwards, stating that nine models were affected and that "no unlawful change" had been found.
"We have reason to believe that more vehicles are affected," prosecutor Klaus Ziehe said, cited by German new agency dpa.
"The prosecutors will check whether Volkswagen employees acted negligently or with intention," he added.

I've developed a real interest in the First Person Defender series of videos lately, watching how "range trained" shooters who haven't had to react to anything other than a paper targets fair when they have to make a "Shoot/don't shoot" decision under the stress of force-on-force training with Simunitions.
In this episode, real-life firefighter and EMT Nathan has to react as a bystander to a domestic violence assault, and it did not go well for him the first time around, at all.
His gun jammed, and not having ever practiced malfunction clearance drills, he was meekly "beaten to death" by the attacker.
The second time he did a lot better tactically, but still shot the abuser in the back, twice.
What do you think… was Nathan justified in what he did the second time around or not?


text: Slavery, a phenomenon closely linked to Spanish colonization and the need for cheap labor force, also has a close relation with the dynamic development of Cuba's sugar industry.That sector of Cuban economy relied on slaves brought from Africa and exploited under inhumane conditions by landowners whose only goal was to get rich at any cost.Therefore, thousands of people – men, women and children – were uprooted from their homeland and brought to the Caribbean Island, where they were subjected to the colonizers' rules.However, the slaves contributed to the formation of Cuban nationality, as they brought along their customs, traditions, songs and dances, as well as their African religions.They left their imprint everywhere in Cuba, and in many cases their legacy is well preserved in museums throughout the Caribbean Island.One of them is the Municipal Museum in Trinidad – one of the first seven villages founded by the Spanish conquistadors in Cuba – where visitors can learn about the history of the region.The museum, which treasures the village's rich history, is housed in an old colonial mansion called Palacio Cantero. The exhibits include archeological artifacts from aboriginal cultures, elements from the period when slave trade and the sugar industry boomed, and exponents from the wars of independence and other major landmarks in Cuban culture, society and economy.Trinidad is the Cuban municipality with the largest number of museum per inhabitants, and all five major museums in the village are located in the historic heart of the city, which was designated Humankind Heritage by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESCO).Palacio Cantero, which is one of the most interesting museums in Trinidad, was built from 1827 to 1830 and is just 50 meters from the Main Square.The building has a great staircase and beautiful neoclassical mural paintings made by Italian and Cuban artists. Since 1980, the museum's halls have exhibited rich collections on the extraordinary history of the region and the development of the city, including weapons, furniture, arts and documents.The building has a large inner patio, a lookout and all details that characterized the development of the sugar industry in the region.Trinidad combines characteristics from the 18th and 19th centuries and the first decades of the 20th century, so while touring its cobblestone streets, visitors can discover artistic balconies, iron-wrought railings, steps and multicolor façades.The city's structure consists of a beautiful Main Square that has a statue of the muse Terpsichore in the center, as if willing to bring inspiration to dancers. The square is flanked by the Church of the Holy Trinity.

No, they're not brothers on a TV show, they are all listed as the husband of a Cherokee woman called Nancy, (Nan-ye-hi) [Conrad-2693], in the second half of the 18th century.. Very little is known about this generation of the family. "Nancy's" husband is named in one sentence in Starr's History of the Cherokee Indians, which says: "... married a white trader named Nathan Hicks. Nathan and Nancy Hicks were the parents of Charles, William, and Elizabeth." (p. 599). [Starr confused Nathan Hicks' wife with his son's wife, so it's quite possible her name was not Nancy.] We know a lot about their children (including a fourth child, a daughter Sarah) because the family were among the first converts of the Moravian missionaries and sons Charles and William were both Principal Chiefs of the Cherokee. The parents were apparently dead before the Moravians arrived about 1800 since they are not mentioned in the Moravian records.
What we don't know is who "Nathan HIcks" was. He appears on record in September, 1776 when Nathan,and fifteen other people including his Cherokee wife named "Peg," his son Charles, Walter Scott and his wife and two children [the wife was daughter Sarah], several other white traders, a Cherokee man, and a Cherokee woman were taken prisoner during an American campaign against the Cherokee . (Isenbarger, Dennis L. ed, Native Americans in Early North Carolina, p. 244). So far I have not found out what happened to Nathan and his wife after their capture, although Sarah and her family and Charles all returned to the Cherokee Nation.
None of the three Nathaniel/Nathans is well-sourced. Two claim he is a man born in 1743 who died in Georgia in 1829, but born in two different places with different parents. A recent merge added another Nathaniel and another daughter (a real person, but not connected to Nathaniel by any documentation). Can anyone help sort this out? Are there three different men? Was one of these three the trader to the Cherokee and father of the HIcks children?

A crucial meeting of GST Council, called to discuss rationalisation of tax rates on real estate, remained inconclusive on Wednesday after certain Opposition-ruled states objected to the idea of a meeting through video conferencing.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who chaired the meeting, taken back foot of the development and made a brief appearance to the press, only to disclose that the discussion could not be taken further as states like Kerala, Puducherry and others insisted for physical presence in the meeting.
The meeting was held through video conferencing. Certain Opposition-ruled states had written to the Finance Minister saying a decision on such a crucial issue of real estate should be taken only when all states were present physically.
"I have always believed on a consensus-based decision in the GST Council. Since certain states wanted a physical presence, we decided to call another meeting on Sunday," Jaitley said and called off the press meet.
Soon after the decision, shares of real estate companies tumbled up to 4%. The Nifty realty became the top sectoral loser.
States like Punjab believe that land is state subject, hence it should not come under the GST. A decision on single rate tax on lottery will also be discussed on Sunday, Jaitley said.

Spare a thought: The wellness of you and your colleagues10.10.17
Simon Andrew
Project Consultant
Many people invest a lot of time in looking after their physical health – eating well, doing exercise, going to the gym etc. Yet not so many put the same effort into their mental health.
So we wanted to share some things today that can help you keep on top of yours.
Pets as therapy
It's thought that animals – or more specifically dogs – offer non-judgemental support. They have a non-discriminatory, unconditional love that has meant they are used to great effect with children with learning difficulties, in care homes and all manner of supportive roles. They've been shown to reduce blood pressure, lower the risk of heart disease, promote chemical release that make us feel good, improve communication and motor skills and all sorts of other benefits. They really are man's (and woman's) best friend.
Gym classes
It's no secret that exercise is good for mental health. But do you know why? Well, it promotes all kinds of changes in the brain, including neural growth, reduced inflammation, and patterns that promote feelings of calm and well-being. It also releases endorphins that energise you and make you feel good. It's great for self-esteem, a good distraction and it helps counter some physical effects of mental health problems – such as poor diet and obesity.
Colouring in
For many of us, this probably reminds us of childhoods spent trying not to go over the lines – but it is actually an activity prescribed by many psychologists and therapists. Many people suffer from anxiety and stress and remain in a heightened state of worry. This is particularly associated with the part of the brain that deals with our fight or flight response – the amygdala. Activities like colouring focus our minds on a calming activity and actually reduce this stress response through rest and relaxation.
Healthy food
There is a growing body of evidence that says good nutrition is essential to our mental health. A balanced mood and feelings of wellbeing can be promoted by ensuring that our diet provides adequate amounts of complex carbohydrates, essential fats, amino acids, vitamins and minerals and water. There are a number of mental health problems, from depression to schizophrenia, that correlate with low levels of healthy foods (fresh fruit and vegetables, organic foods and meals made from scratch) and high levels of unhealthy goods (ready meals and takeaways). So, a healthy balanced diet is hugely important.
Massage is not just for relieving physical pain, it can also help combat symptoms of mental health issues too. One of the chemicals in the body widely responsible for stress – cortisol – has been shown to be reduced by up to 53% following a massage. It is also reported to have an impact on dopamine and serotonin levels. It increases these positive chemicals, promoting a positive wellbeing and countering the deficit often seen in anxiety and depression.
Make a positive change
We can't all go out tomorrow and buy a dog, or spend hours in the gym. But we hope by sharing the theory behind these activities you can identify activities and habits that would work for you and can help you promote a lifestyle that is good for your mental health.
Simon Andrew
Simon started his Benefex career as a Consultant in 2006 then went on to lead our communications team for several years. So, he really knows his stuff. He drives a lot of our research and leads the charge on finding new and innovative things to bring to our clients. He specialises in 'jazz hands' so you will likely see him on stage at our forums and industry conferences, where you can normally expect some form of confectionary bribe and some quirky psychological insights. His greatest achievement is winning a number of communication awards during his time running the communications team.
Something you may not know about Simon is that he once sat on an ostrich, but was told he was too heavy to ride it. The poor bird.
