The Characteristics of the Insect Order Trichoptera
The trichoptera insect order consists of numerous species of moth-like insects called caddisflies that grow to be less than one inch long. Caddisflies get their nickname from their body-shielding case-making habit. The insects have two sets of hairy wings, aquatic larvae, and pupate within silky cocoons. Roughly 12,000 trichopterous insect species have been identified thus far, however, about 50,000 exist in and around waters throughout the world.
According to FossilMuseum, the insect orders trichoptera and lepidoptera are related, with the first being caddisflies and the latter moths and butterflies. Both orders produce flying insects with scaled wings.
Trichopteran order insects appear holometabolous in the larval stage. This means that they possess upper and lower body parts that mirror one another. Following metamorphosis, the adults reappear with long thin wings, threadlike filiform antennae, and compound eyes. Adults also grow hair all over their bodies including their wings and their legs.
For most trichopterous species, coloration is dull when compared to other insects such as the closely-related butterflies or dragonflies; however, a few trichopterous insects do possess vivid coloration. The appearance of the dimmer species may help to protect them from enemies as they fly during the night.
Also, in some trichoptera species, the antennae may grow as much as three times the length of their front wings, whereas in other groups the antennae are shorter than the front wings.
Adult trichopterous insects do not eat, which may be why their mouthparts are relatively small, suited for liquid nourishment, or simply do not function. Larvae, on the other hand, have completely functional mouthparts and feed frequently. According to for Texas Insects, trichopterous larvae are able to construct webs made of silk and use them to capture food. They also use the silk when building cases for homes.
According to WhatBugIsThat, trichopterous insects may copulate as they fly or while stabilized on the ground or on certain types of plants (riparian vegetation). This insect is oviparous — the female releases fertilized eggs that must develop and hatch on their own. Females normally drop the eggs into or near waters in areas they frequent. Their metamorphic stages are complete, progressing from egg to larva to pupa to adult.
Trichoptera larvae look somewhat like caterpillars. They live in water, and thus must construct homes to shield themselves from enemies. They make their homes, or cases, from various materials such as sand, stones, plants, and debris. They use self-produced silk to adhere the cases together. Their ability to embed themselves in shielding cases is what earned the order its nickname. The term caddis means case. In addition to shielding themselves in their portable cases, larvae find food by scavenging and may feed from plants or animal remains.
Pupae
When they reach their pupa stage, trichoptera embed themselves by wrapping silk around their bodies. At the end of the pupa stage, the larvae turned pupae cut through their casings with their mandibles and emerge as adult insects.
At night, adult trichoptera insects fly toward lighting and can be seen encircling outdoor light bulbs. Some insects of this order are nocturnal while others are diurnal. In addition to freshwaters, trichopterous insects frequent saline waters along coasts and streams.
Fish in the waters that trichoptera insects frequent are happy to eat the insects. For this reason, humans use the insects for fishing.
Related insect orders
As far as classification goes, trichoptera are more closely related to the lepidoptera order than it is to any other group of insects.
Adults in the trichoptera order only survive for a week or two after mating. Likewise, their lives are cut short whenever food is so scarce they cannot find anything to eat. Despite their shortened life spans, caddisflies continue to represent one of the largest aquatic insect orders.

These caps continue immediately from the others, but there were too many to post at once. Believe it or not, I really did toss some frames out, but these I had to keep. As can be seen, Frodo is just about to be tackled. He senses something is just about to burst upon him.
The next seven detail the Pounce of Pippin. I kept most of the frames, simply because they crack me up. No, I didn't think it was a slashy scene in the film, but I have read enough P/F fic, especially fics that rely heavily on Billy Boyd's Pippin for their characterization, to think these frames are extremely entertaining in a way the filmmakers did not intend (probably).
I finished up with the group shot I thought extremely good and clear.
Oh yes...lips... *thuds* And eyebrows, too, I just adore the way they are so thick and perfectly curled. And doesn't the third pic, rather blurry though it is around the edges, seems to portray a Frodo deep in some luscious contemplation? With his eyes closed and his lips looking so utterly kissable... *guh* Wonderful caps, Mectild, as always. Thanks so much for sharing!
Ah, the eyebrows, the strong, chiselled line of the chin, perfectly modelled, the lovely slim but wiry fingers wrapped around the staff. Ah, yes. Deep in luscious contemplation, indeed. I am, anyway.
Wow! These are so gorgeous.
No, what bangers? I only see carrots. Are you sure it's trailing out of his backback, or out of his trouser placket? Perhaps he forgot to button up after his trip into the corn to take that pee?
Love all their expressions in the last one!
Yes, it is awfully good. I was surprised I hadn't seen it around more. Shots in which all four are so in character, so expressive, and so in focus are not that many.
You know, when you've got a lower lip that big, gravity just has to have its way with it. Lucky gravity!
What a delightful series. Thanks for the happy fix, Mechtild!
Gawd, you brought the flared nostrils icon in here. Another spanking for you. There, now Frodo will have to lay you across his lap. If you wriggle around enough, perhaps Frodo will be able to demonstrate that even if his petulant lower lip mayn't defy gravity, other things may. That will teach you a thing or too.
Glad you have liked the corn.
I just love seeing movie scenes this way. I don't have any screencapping software (or knowledge), so pleeeeeease keep them coming!
Oh, I can't resist, in fact. Though I should be writing. Or wrapping and mailing gifts. Or calling my mother. Etc.
The lusciousness of this series of caps never fails to leave me in a puddle of drool.
And omg! I have never noticed the sausages either, or much else regarding the other hobbits for that matter - Frodo is just far, far too gorgeous to take one's eyes off for even a millisecond!!!
Baw-Haw! You guys are so funny! :D (and I've always loved that last shot there of the four of them looking towards the shouting voice in panic, hee hee!).
Yeah, that is a great shot. I think it ought to have been a poster or a publicity still for the film.
Hey, Lembas, Lady Wendy came by TORc and gave you links to "Elijah and the Crying Little Girl." Check it out, dollface.
You are forgiven spending time modding. I suppose U2 fans are probably very intense, judging from Bono.
Yes, he is terribly luscious and so are his lips. I don't think I gushed over them enough in my fic, trying not to be too film-Frodo specific. I remember reading that some critic was supposed to have said that. Maybe it was taken out of context, and it was all part of a complimentary passage comparing him to Liv Tyler. "He's shorter, has plainer costumes, and has got thinner lips. But Live doesn't hold a candle to him in beauty."
You just go ahead, drool and whimper. You can use Frodo's santa hat in your icon to wipe your lips with.
P.S. I made a new manip. It's on LJ and in the Harem as of a few hours ago. I think it's my new fave.
Yes, it's full of youthful charm.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure which involves the removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat that causes droopy eyelids. As you grow older, your eyelids become extended, and the muscles holding them weaken. Consequently, excess fat may form collectively above and below your eyelids. This causes your eyebrows to sag, upper eyelids to droop, and eye bags to form under your eyes.
Aside from the fact that sagging skin makes you appear older, it can also minimize your peripheral vision. Blepharoplasty can minimize or cease these vision issues and make your eyes look youthful and vibrant. This procedure is done on an outpatient basis. Before you undergo this particular procedure, you need to inform your eye doctor about your medical history and expectations. A physical test and vision examination will then follow. Make an appointment with an Eye Michigan doctor to learn more.

Max Reger (1873–1916)
Max Reger achieved lasting fame primarily through his organ works, although his achievements in the areas chamber music, lieder, choral and orchestral works are also important.
Max Reger, born in Brand, Upper Palatinate, on March 19, 1873, grew up in the nearby city of Weiden and received musical instruction early on.
Following studies with the renowned music theoretician Hugo Riemann, Reger suffered a nervous and physical breakdown as a result of his period of military service and professional setbacks, returning to his parents' house in 1898.
Then Reger's productivity increased enormously until, in 1901, he was able to convince his family to move to Munich, where he hoped for more musical stimuli than were to be found in Upper Palatinate. In 1902 Reger, a Catholic, married Elsa von Bercken, a divorced Protestant, resulting in his excommunication.
Reger was extremely productive, both as a composer and a concert pianist. He was appointed successor to Rheinberger in the Akademie der Tonkunst in 1905 but gave up this position just one year later due to disagreements with the predominantly conservative faculty.
During a concert sojourn in Karlsruhe in 1907, Reger received an appointment as university music director and professor at the Royal Conservatory in Leipzig; he continued his performing and composing activities. Although he once again gave up the position of university music director, he instead took up the post of court Kapellmeister in Meiningen in 1911, which he occupied until 1914.
He continued to compose and perform intensively after moving to Jena in 1915, whence he travelled once a week to Leipzig for his classes. Reger suffered heart failure during one of these trips in May 1916.

BreakOUT! Attends, Presents at 26th Annual Creating Change Conference in Houston, TX – BreakOUT!
On Wednesday, January 29, 2014, four BreakOUT! staff took an amazing road trip to Houston, Texas for the 26th Annual Creating Change LGBT Conference. Over 4,000 people attended this year.
Our road trip was rocky in the beginning- three of us were supposed to be flying out that morning but due to the cold weather, our flights were all either delayed or cancelled so we jumped in the car instead to take the road trip to Texas. Once we got in the car though, we realized that they had declared a state of emergency and I-10 was closed down until right outside the Texas border! Though we didn't see one sheet of ice the whole trip, we got on Highway 90 and it was smooth from there. We even met up with our friends from the Missouri GSA Network at a gas station in a tiny Louisiana town and caravanned part of the way there. There was plenty of highway in front of us so what other way to kill the time but to have plenty of conversation! After 7 1/2 hours, we finally made it to our sanctuary.
The next morning was the very first day of the conference and of course, I was excited so I jumped out my bed and Nate and I headed over to the Hilton so we could get our conference badges. Once we got there, my first reaction was, "OMG is there a drag ball going on up in here?" because I saw LGBTQ folks everywhere. I started to get a bit nervous because it was Thursday morning and I knew I had to speak on the Trans Women of Color Sisterhood panel Friday morning. I remember thinking, "Damn I ain't never spoke in front this many people before. " With my nerves getting the best of me, I ran into our Advisory Board Member and Women With a Vision Director, Mama D (aka Deon Haywood). Thank God I ran into Mama D because she knows just the right things to say! With my confidence back up, I was ready.
Thursday was the first ever pre-institute on police and state-based violence to happen at Creating Change, From Stonewall to Stop & Frisk. It was co-convened by Lambda Legal, Streetwise and Safe, PrYSM, and a coalition we belong to, the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs. Our Youth Organizer, Derwin, helped facilitate the day-long institute, which you can see more about below, thanks to Miriam Mimi Madrid Puga of BSeedz!
When Friday morning rolled around, I was up bright and early because I was ready to speak my truth- our truth– the experiences of trans women of color and the violence we face for being only who we are, "bold & beautiful!" With my talking points in my hand, I walked into that Grand Ballroom with my head held high because I'm proud to be a transwoman of color, despite what others may say about us.
Once the conversation got going, I threw my talking points to the side because I didn't need them. I had it like a cat in a bag! I slayed that panel and I was also honored to have been sitting next to some other amazing transwomen of color doing badass work in our community. Those beautiful, bold women were Bamby Salcedo, Cecilia C. Chung, Arianna Lint, and Andrea Jenkins. After that, the rest was history.
Finally, on Saturday evening, BreakOUT! and Streetwise and Safe launched our National Know Your Rights Network, which was a huge success. Major props to Derwin & Mitchyll for holding that down and making it happen. Stay tuned for more info on the network, including the announcement of official network members, the name for the network, and our next steps toward building a stronger community of resilient LGBTQ young people staying safe with the police!
Much love also to Nate for being with us and supporting us in every way he knew how throughout the conference. Houston was hella fun, but spending time and just making those connections with my LGBTQ brothers and sisters was even better.

One of today's most influential worship leaders, songwriters and artists, Paul Baloche releases 'LIVE,' a new deluxe CD/DVD available on 1st April from Integrity Music. The project features a celebratory mix of new songs and favorites that have traveled the globe in houses of worship internationally, all recorded live with a congregation composed of worship teams from across Canada.
Featuring new anthems, classic hymns and familiar choruses, 'LIVE' offers a collection of songs meant to be sung by congregations for years to come. The project includes new songs co-written by Baloche with Matt Maher, Brenton Brown and Aaron Shust, along with the Easter-inspired, 'He Is Risen,' co-written with Graham Kendrick.
'He Is Risen' is the first song and video releasing from the album as a resource for churches during their Easter celebrations. The song is available now on iTunes as a Digital Deluxe Single, which includes the song and accompanying video. Baloche will also share background information on the song, along with tutorial resources and charts for the entire 'LIVE' project at a microsite launching soon.
Following the single release, the full 'LIVE' album will be available on 1st April on CD, CD/DVD, standard digital album and as a Digital Deluxe album that includes four videos. There will further be a long form video available through iTunes Concert series for purchase or rental.
Recorded live during one of his "LeadWorship" workshops in Ontario, Baloche will take the new music from 'LIVE' and his best-loved songs on the road. Baloche's touring/workshop/teaching schedule takes him around the world. Having just returned from events in Dubai (United Arab Emirates), India, Singapore and Malaysia, in the coming months he will host "LeadWorship" workshops in Chicago (March 21-22) and in Washington, DC (May 2-4) before heading abroad to France, Belgium and South Africa. Baloche returns for the National Worship Leader Conference in Kansas City (Leawood, KS) July 14-17.


The object of this exercise was to experiment with landscape painting in watercolour. Luckily for me, although my paintings do not demonstrate this (!), watercolour is one of my favoured mediums. I became much more aware of the importance of watercolour during this section of the course and the fact that until the 18th Century it was only really used occasionally in Europe for finished works. The course material speaks of the fact that Constable used watercolour for his preparatory studies for oil paintings and was a strong advocate for landscape painting being important in its own right as opposed to Turners use of historical or mythological references in some of his works especially those painted in oil.
Landscape painting, according the course material, became a popular genre and instructional books were published in much the same way as they continue to be this day.
I have always loved watercolour painting but it is only through the course of my textile studies I have really come to appreciate the washes and opaque areas and the techniques involved.
The first painting I did was not a success – I hit a real painters block compared to what I know I can do and my techniques flew out of the window. This is the bridge at Kedleston Hall and I did not achieve the perspective either linear or atmospheric nor the textures or correct colours on the bridge.
I am really note happy with this at all – I tried to add further detail with the use of colour pencils and this improved the situation a little but not enough. Asking for tips on one of the OCA student Facebook sites was useful – there were suggestions of adding in a further blue wash in the green behind the bridge to give the appearance of atmospheric perspective without realising that green was in fact meant to be foliage!
Some students felt this painting had a child like quality about it which was endearing and that there are artists who specialize in achieving that effect – for me a child-like quality is something that comes easily even if it was not intentional! There were suggestions of adding drawn highlights to the stone to create the textures or shadow underneath the bridge as well as the effect of shadow both sides of the parapet on the left hand side of the bridge and both advice and critique was solid and good – I decided to leave it as it is for future reference of how not to do an exercise and what needs improvement.
I have never painted a bridge before and consequently am not versed in painting stone blocks of any type and this is something I need to look at further now as I do not want to avoid painting architecture in the future – I love the hard lines against the foliage in a country setting.
My second version I decided to look at the small waterfall just down from this bridge and this was considerably more effective for me. I used a succession of washes and wet-on-wet techniques to achieve the depth of foliage in the background and foreground – I wanted the appearance of a deep wooded area in the background with the path in the foreground gently sloping down. I also managed to achieve the water much better by using a combination of washes and wet-on-wet again and more importantly taking my time … the first I think I rushed a little in retrospect. The waterfall on this second painting was done using a combination of washes and also dry brushing using a fan style brush in specifically directional strokes.
I have tried to give a sense of perspective with the river and made careful note of any reflections or shadows and attempted to recreate if possible and feel this was relatively competent. The only aspect I am really not happy with is the tree to the top left of the painting 0f the painting – the truck needs more shading and perhaps covering with a smattering of more foliage.
Overall I am considerably happier with the second piece and am gaining increasing understanding of watercolour paintings and have no question that I will continue to work in this medium and with landscapes in particular.

AC/DC reportedly recording new album with Axl Rose for 2018
New reports are claiming a new AC/DC album, featuring Axl Rose, should be released sometime in 2018.
The report reads: "With Guns N' Roses dates running through until September, it is expected that the next AC/DC album with Axl Rose won't be ready until 2018."
"The chemistry between Axl Rose and Angus Young has inspired Angus to start planning another AC/DC record but Guns N' Roses touring commitments throughout 2017 will make it difficult to finalize the project."
Despite the departures of bass player Cliff Williams and the retirement of Brian Johnson, Angus has apparently vowed that AC/DC will continue.
If the reports are true, we're gonna be bloody fizzing for it.

The Prospector & Minero Magazine supports The Battalion Newspaper
The Battalion, the student-led newspaper at Texas A&M released an article on Feb.11 detailing that their university President Katherine Banks, Ph.D., is forcing the 129-year-old publication to stop printing. The decision was made without consulting any journalism professors on campus and was purely "a decision made by university leadership," said Banks in an interview with The Battalion.
Regardless, The Battalion has said it will continue printing until the end of the semester.
The Prospector & Minero Magazine support The Battalion in their decision to diligently continue printing news-stories despite university leadership demanding the publication to go completely online.
We see Texas A&M's new policy of forcing The Battalion to stop printing as a violation of their First Amendment rights. The university, along with attempting to cease printing, are trying to force the paper to function within the university's Department of Journalism.This opens an opportunity for Texas A&M to closely regulate what is published under their official regulations.
Under Texas A&M's 2021 system policy, official messaging regulation, 09.02. ,any form of publication would have to be approved by the university.
Additionally, if The Battalion chooses to stay as a student organization they would lose their office space, its faculty advisor, and general manager.
After the story was released, The Battalion broke the news on Feb. 14 that President Banks would be adding two students from The Battalion's staff to Texas A&M existing Journalism Department working group. An advisor from The Battalion was also added.
Prior to this decision, The Battalion had run as an independent student organization reporting on student-issues at Texas A&M.
All funding for The Battalion's printing and payroll is made through selling advertisements and no funding is received from the university.
At the University of Texas at El Paso, students have reported, designed and printed The Prospector either weekly or bi-weekly since 1915 and Minero Magazine each semester since 2004, began printing Minero magazine, a bilingual publication, each semester.
Based in a bi-national community, UTEP's student journalists are faced with readers – college students or not – who consume media in a wide variety of ways. UTEP's international student population sometimes means that they must cross the U.S.-Mexico border, sometimes waiting up to four hours everyday not only to attend classes, but sometimes just to access a computer.
This means that no, not everyone is online and not everyone can afford to be online.
The ability to do journalism, to read journalism in a wide variety of formats is a privilege.
Texas A&M's president did not speak to any journalism professionals before making her decision and the President has no prior experience in journalism.
"I'm not a professor of journalism. I don't understand exactly why [print media] is important to the field," she said in an interview with The Battalion.
Three days later, in the Feb. 14 announcement, Banks stated she "should seek additional community feedback on the role of The Battalion … while also getting feedback about industry trends and future workforce needs".
She said, with the Journalism Department working group, she plans on discussing options of distribution and asses how The Battalion can achieve its mission "to be a strong, independent student voice in the future" and "position the Texas A&M Department of Journalism and The Battalion as the best in the nation."
The ability to take a physical newspaper or magazine home where students might not have access to the internet or home to parents or guardians who might not know how the internet works is an important one to keep in mind.
When considering how to keep the public informed and how democracy is sustained in both the local and international level, accessibility is of the utmost importance.
Our unique student body lives and learns in a city where national and international policies become daily life. They want to know about what's going on in their city and the city across the border.
Because of this, our publication team knows first-hand that it is essential to maintain increased accessibility to new-sources, regardless of where the publication is based.
Although both publications have adopted online formats to better connect with the increasingly online generation of students each year, the choice not to abandon printing, despite the increasing prices of print, is a willing one.
We will stand by The Battalion's students and we hope they choose to continue to print and remain an organization in the name of student-press freedom.

I've been following Forrest Breyfogle for some time. You may know that he came out with a couple of the definitive text books for the Six Sigma DMAIC process several years ago. I have a couple of them on my shelf.
In the last few months, I've bumped into Breyfogle at a couple of conferences and he is onto something really important. At the risk of oversimplifying it, he has come to realize that Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma are, in and of themselves, too narrow in scope. All too often DMAIC projects fix one thing and break something else, and seldom do you find links from individual projects to ultimate business performance.
Breyfogle proposes an Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) system that helps organizations execute the Three 'Rs' of Business: Doing the Right Things, doing them Right, at the Right Time. You can read more about IEE at his website and blog.
You find IT (information technology) and the CIO (Chief Information Officer) at the heart of IEE. Breyfogle "gets" the role of the CIO and IT in continuous improvement. He has a great white paper on this topic, and his latest blog post touches on it.
I haven't had time to see how far Breyfogle takes his prescription for what IT needs to do to enable business excellence. What I've read so far seems very consistent with our customer's experiences and my vision for how data and IT can – in Breyfogle's words – "be the catalyst for new improvement initiatives." It is also consistent with the research we've seen out of the Aberdeen Group on the role of real-time data in manufacturing excellence.
Breyfogle thinks he may be on to the "Next Big Thing", and he may be right. I intend to keep my eye on it.

N. Korean leader inspects border unit
by Alex Edwards | Mar 8, 2013 |
epa03614852 Handout image provided by Yonhap showing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un views South Korean islands through binoculars during a visit to a military unit on a western island bordering South Korea on March 7, 2013. The Rodong Sinmun, the daily of the North's Workers' Party, reported on March 8 that Kim visited two military units on the Jangjae and Mu islets, which conducted indiscriminate bombardment on South Korea's Yeonpyeong Island in October 2010, killing two marines and two civilians. Kim's inspection to check combat readiness followed a statement announced by the North Korean Army's supreme command on March 5. In the statement against the U.N. Security Council's discussions about tougher sanctions for the North's third nuclear test conducted on Feb. 12, Pyongyang declared that it will completely nullify the inter-Korean Armistice Agreement. The 15-member Council unanimously approved sanctions against the North on March 7. The two Koreas remain technically at war as the 1950-53 Korean ended in a truce. This is a capture from the March 8 edition of the Rodong Sinmun. EPA/YONHAP EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES

World warming despite cool Pacific and Baghdad snow

Next Article Campaign puts bid to solve climate change ahead
OSLO (Reuters) - Climate change is still nudging up temperatures in the long term even though the warmest year was back in 1998 and 2008 has begun with unusual weather such as a cool Pacific and Baghdad's first snow in memory, experts said. "Global warming has not stopped," said Amir Delju, senior scientific coordinator of the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) climate program.
By Alister Doyle, Environment Correspondent
OSLO (Reuters) - Climate change is still nudging up temperatures in the long term even though the warmest year was back in 1998 and 2008 has begun with unusual weather such as a cool Pacific and Baghdad's first snow in memory, experts said.
"Global warming has not stopped," said Amir Delju, senior scientific coordinator of the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) climate program.
Last year was among the six warmest years since records began in the 1850s and the British Met Office said last week that 2008 will be the coolest year since 2000, partly because of a La Nina event that cuts water temperatures in the Pacific.
!ADVERTISEMENT!
"We are in a minor La Nina period which shows a little cooling in the Pacific Ocean," Delju told Reuters. "The decade from 1998 to 2007 is the warmest on record and the whole trend is still continuing."
This year has started with odd weather including the first snows in Baghdad in memory on Friday and a New Year cold snap in India that killed more than 20 people. Frost hit some areas of Florida last week but orange groves escaped mostly unscathed.
Iraqis welcomed snow as an omen of peace. "It's the first time we've seen snow in Baghdad," said 60-year-old Hassan Zahar. "I looked at the faces of all the people, they were astonished."
Last year, parts of the northern hemisphere were having a record mild winter with even Alpine ski resorts starved of snow.
Delju said climate change, blamed mainly on human emissions of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, would bring bigger swings in the weather alongside a warming trend that will mean more heatwaves, droughts, floods and rising seas.
"The more frequent occurrence of extreme events all over the world -- floods in Australia, heavy snowfall in the Middle East -- can also be signs of warming," he said.
"UNEQUIVOCAL" WARMING
The U.N. Climate Panel said last year that global warming was "unequivocal." It said temperatures rose by 0.74 degrees Celsius (1.3 Fahrenheit) in the 20th century and could rise by a "best guess" of another 1.8 to 4.0C (3.2 to 7.2F) by 2100.
The record year for world temperatures was 1998, ahead of 2005, according to WMO data. Among recent signs of the effects of warming, Arctic sea ice shrank last year to a record low.
Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the U.N. Panel that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, said he would look into the apparent temperature plateau so far this century.
"One would really have to see on the basis of some analysis what this really represents," he told Reuters, adding "are there natural factors compensating?" for increases in greenhouse gases from human activities.
He added that skeptics about a human role in climate change delighted in hints that temperatures might not be rising. "There are some people who would want to find every single excuse to say that this is all hogwash," he said.
Delju said temperatures would have to be flat for several more years before a lack of new record years became significant.
He noted 2005 was the second hottest year and that 1998 was boosted by a strong El Nino event which can raise temperatures worldwide in the opposite of the La Nina cooling.
Underscoring an underlying rise in temperatures, British forecaster Phil Jones said 2001-07, with an average of 0.44 Celsius above the 1961-90 world average of 14 degrees, was 0.21 degree warmer than the corresponding values for 1991-2000.

Advocates Press for More Coordinated FDA Oversight of Cancer Treatments
Jill Wechsler, Pharm Exec's Washington Correspondent
FDA needs to make major changes in how it evaluates the research and development of new combination therapies for cancer and other serious conditions, as scientific discoveries continue to revolutionize medical product discovery and patient care, according to patient advocates, cancer specialists and biopharma companies. Spearheaded by the Friends of Cancer Research (FOCR), a group is urging Congress to further encourage FDA to adopt a new "disease-oriented" approach biomedical regulation, and for FDA to formulate a pilot to test this approach.
The advocates are encouraged by a provision in the Obama administration's "Cancer Moonshot" initiative, which would provide FDA with $75 million to form an Oncology Center of Excellence to expedite the development of novel cancer treatments. Functioning as a "virtual" entity, the Center would better coordinate FDA scientists and reviewers that reside in separate FDA Centers for drugs, biologics and medical devices to achieve a more integrated approach to regulating new cancer treatments.
This "moonshot" proposal reflects the broader campaign launched by FOCR chair Ellen Sigal to shift FDA from regulation based on product type to a disease-oriented approach. A first step would be to establish a new Center of Excellence for oncology to facilitate the testing and clinical development for all cancer therapies, including diagnostics and delivery devices. This would evolve from an FDA pilot that brings together key staffers from drugs, biologics and devices so they could collaborate more closely on the design, testing and approval of new cancer treatments.
This approach aims to address the regulatory confusion that has resulted from the emergence of more combination cancer treatments that now are regulated by different FDA Centers and are governed by different policies, procedures and statutory requirements. The result is delay in product development and approval, along with greater outlays for multiple tests and clinical studies.
At a Senate briefing Feb. 24, 2016 organized by FOCR, Steve Galson, senior vice president for global regulatory affairs and safety at Amgen, noted that the new wave of highly targeted cancer therapies come with increasingly sophisticated medical device delivery systems and with a range of diagnostics designed to ensure appropriate prescribing. Such products involve consultation on clinical development and application review with multiple FDA Centers. Galson noted that Amgen is testing a new treatment that combines a herpes simplex virus previously approved by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) with an immunotherapy from another firm that is regulated by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) to create what hopefully will be a more effective treatment for melanoma. The process for gaining agreement on clinical trial design thus is more complicated, and there is more uncertainty about how the review process will proceed.
However, a shift to a disease-based regulatory approach would impose significant changes on FDA's organizational structure that could stress its limited resources and disrupt long-held practices and procedures. FDA has tried to better coordinate oversight of therapies with multiple components through its central Office of Combination Products, but this has not resolved many stakeholder complaints about delay and uncertainty. Mark McClellan, former FDA commissioner and now director of the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, acknowledged at the briefing that more new products don't fit FDA's current Center-based structure, but that any major agency overhaul requires "serious, thoughtful consideration." To move forward, he suggested assessing the most serious problems related to developing combination products and how a new disease-oriented oversight approach would outweigh risks.
Sigal now is looking for FDA leaders to propose a pilot to test these concepts. While she believes that this disease-based oversight approach also is suitable for dealing with other serious health conditions such as neurodegenerative, cardiovascular and infectious disease, she and others accept plans to limit an initial test to oncology, where more advanced, targeted, combination products now dominate the R&D environment.


Yesterday I celebrated my five year anniversary at Autumn Transport. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I started out in the Liquid Tank division training to be a floater. The idea was I would learn dispatch in multiple divisions and then help out with whatever division was busiest or short-handed. However, after just a couple days on the job one of the tanks dispatchers put in his two week notice, and so I became a fulltime Liquid Tanks dispatcher. It was pretty cool to be assigned in Tanks because a few years before I started my father retired from this division (and trucking as a profession). I wish I would have had the chance to dispatch him. Imagine how fun that would have been. Two years into dispatch we had some office reshuffling and I was promoted to the Liquid Tanks Fleet Manager position.
A lot has changed in tanks, and at Autumn Transport in general, since I started. We have had dispatcher turnover, driver turnover and customer turnover. The mix of products we haul and the places we go with our tankers has changed a lot. The introduction of e-logs created a major learning curve for dispatch and drivers a like. I don't think this kind of change is uncommon in the trucking industry. The old adage is true that in some seasons the only constant is change. And much of this change has been good. We continue to grow as a company and I continue to grow as a leader and as a person. Five years later I am much better than I was, and I wouldn't trade the ups and downs even if I could. As a mentor of mine says, "we grow the most during times of adversity." Challenges and changes are often the impetus for introspection and development.
I am proud to work for a company that cares so much for its drivers and office staff. The culture here is second to none. We work hard, we have fun, and we treat everyone with the respect they deserve. I hear from new drivers all the time about how they felt like nothing more than a number at their old company, but how here at Autumn they feel like partners and like part of a family. That is one of the greatest compliments a driver can give us. It's my goal to know my drivers personally and do everything I can to make them feel successful and cared for. Even if a driver makes a decision to move on, I feel good knowing I did everything I could to make their time here a positive one.
I've had a few jobs in my life but I can honestly say that working at Autumn Transport has been one of the very best. I love my team in Liquid Tanks and the drivers who work for us. I'm looking forward to all the future brings!

Hussain signs Guiseley deal after Pakistan debut
Bradford-born Tabir Hussain signs Guiseley deal after Pakistan debut
By Rachel O'Connor
TABISH Hussain has signed a one-year deal with Guiseley just days after making his international debut for Pakistan on his 18th birthday.
The Bradford-born winger made his international bow in a World Cup qualifier against Cambodia and when he returned to the UK, after visiting four countries in 19 days with Pakistan, he sat down to pen a contract with the Lions.
The Vanarama National League North club gave their Academy product his first team debut last season as a non-contract player and he went on to make a handful of appearances from the bench before breaking his leg.

This put him out of action for much of the season but he battled back to fitness to be a part of the Guiseley Academy title-winning side.
Tabish then got the call-up for the Pakistan men's squad for their two World Cup qualifying games against Cambodia and found himself the youngest player in action for the Green Shirts in a squad that included former Bradford City player Zesh Rehman.
After playing in front of a crowd of 36,800 in Cambodia for the first leg game Tabish admits he will no longer have nerves playing in front of crowds for Guiseley.
Of his international experience, he said:"It was an unbelievable experience and being the youngest there they really looked after me.
"I am happy to have signed for Guiseley, it is a great club and I am looking to kick on with them and develop with them.
"Everyone at the club has been brilliant with me and the fans are fully supportive of me.
"Guiseley is a real community club and I couldn't see myself going anywhere else.
"The managers are really supportive too and when I got the call to sign a contract I was over the moon.
"It is a lovely place to be. I have had an amazing time in the Academy with outstanding coaches in Dave Currie and Danny Ellis, who have developed me so much and given me confidence.
"The physio Ash Proctor has also been a big part, especially after I broke my leg.
"It was lovely to have my mum and dad out in Cambodia to see me make my debut.
"My dad has taken me around from the age of seven to play football, trekking all over the place, and seeing me play in a World Cup game was a bit of a reward for him. It was an experience I will never forget."
Tabish first joined the Pakistan squad at it's training camp in Bahrain before they moved on to Dubai.
Then came the two games against Cambodia with Tabish coming off the bench to make his debut on his 18th birthday in Cambodia and then starting the second leg game played in Qatar five days later.

Do most people really care about politics?
Bob Collins June 6, 2018, 7:12 AM Jun 6, 2018
If a congressman holds a listening session and only one constituent shows up, is it a failure of participatory democracy or a fine example of the beauty of the democratic process?
Craig Gilbert, a political reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, kicked off the question this week when he tweeted this photo of Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner talking with Dave Mantz, the only person who showed up.
Went to GOP Cong. Jim Sensenbrenner's town hall this morning in the Wisconsin town of Rubicon (pop 2,249) and just 1 constituent showed up. Dave Mantz had the floor to himself. The two politely discussed their differences on net neutrality … then discussed them a little more pic.twitter.com/EvlrSYENzC
— Craig Gilbert (@WisVoter) June 4, 2018
Mantz was there to talk about net neutrality, a subject on which he and the congressman disagree.
Sensenbrenner has held 41 meetings with constituents so far this year, according to Gilbert. He's one of the few Washingtonians still holding them.
"I went to his town hall in Hartford Sunday night that drew 22 people. His town halls in Neosho and Lebanon Monday morning drew four and one respectively, according to an aide, Gilbert writes.
Whether these things do any good at all in the age of big money is debatable.
And this one was held in a small town where people go to work during the day in a district that is about as safe for the incumbent as any.
Still, it feels as though there's a disconnect between the non-stop political coverage of news organizations 10 weeks before a primary, and the willingness of potential voters to care about any of it.

I have met very few people who care about politics past defending their chosen party and all members thereof. Very few who want to have actual political conversations rather than dig in and declare their view the only possible right way to think or believe. And even fewer people who care what a politician's actual policy or views are, so long as they have the correct letter next to their name on the ballot.
MrE85
You will find some of the very few commenting here.
Which is why I come back time after time.
That fits my experience exactly. Few people want an actual discussion where ideas are exchanged and each side acknowledges that the other may have some legitimate points. When you add in the rank tribalism of D v. R it becomes completely insufferable.
The parties will oppose each other on any issue regardless of the principles they supposedly espouse, except when big money is very clearly on one side. In that case, it's either silence or feeble lip service.
Let's try to steer this discussion back to introspection instead of the usual political "them" vs "other them".
I think that there are issue conversations, what's happening in the real world, and that there is much consensus. But when people start to repeat what is heard in talk radio or TV then the reflexes kick in. Politics is now pop culture and entertainment, stay out of that and you can still talk with people.
It probably says more about the congressman.
Perhaps because he holds listening sessions his closest election was a win with 62% of the vote. Next closest was 67%, these were in 2004 and 2006. This is since 1979. Nothing even closer in 19 elections over 38 years. This will be 20th congressional race.
I would guess he replies to constituent mail and other communication. Probably even more old school things like sends congratulations letters to birth and wedding announcements.
Jay Sieling
He apparently replies in an old school fashion. Still uses a typewriter. Paul Ryan tweeted a picture of it in 2014 (link) Which makes me wonder if he really understands the internet and the issue of net neutrality. http://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/in-the-know/203221-who-still-uses-a-typewriter-sensenbrenner-does
The answer to the headline's question is no.
That doesn't mean they are right, though.
Today's news is 95% political strategy. Should people other than political insiders care? Why? The weekend conventions clearly were pointless. Did they deserve the attention they got? Why? What other stories are out there that deserved attention in their place, if any?
I don't spend much time listening to pundits, beside the Almanac panel on Fridays. The type of political journalism that I like is the straight forward variety I find at MPR or on MinnPost (see the tremendous candidate updates they have today). The weekend conventions only became worthless after they were over (at least on the DFL side). And really, we won't know how worthless they are until the votes are in.
Does the system need change? You bet. Anyone have any suggestions?
Mike Worcester
//Anyone have any suggestions?
Sure. 🙂
We can start by dusting off the Growe Commission on Electoral Reform, which was chaired by Sec. of State Joan Growe and included many sensible (ex – a June primary) updates to the endorsing and primary process. So sensible were they that the report was for the most part ignored…
https://www.leg.state.mn.us/docs/2005/other/050564.pdf
See! We're getting somewhere…
I don't think primaries are better than conventions. Primaries will allow the candidate with the most money to win. Conventions at least allow for someone who is willing to work hard to get the nomination. Either way though, they both favor the two party system. Anyone who is outside of the two parties has such a disadvantage. Yesterday, someone wanted to file as an Independent, but couldn't without 2000 signatures. He didn't need them if he filed as a Democrat or Republican. Why shouldn't those candidates have the same barriers? Why should Minnesotans have to pay for a Primary, which is just a way for the major parties to select their candidate?
Real election reform would include Ranked Choice Voting, equal rules for all candidates, spending limits including spending by PACs, and open access to debates.
One of the recommendations of the Growe Commission was to allow for multiple endorsements by setting a threshold %, then on the primary ballot any endorsed candidates would be indicated as such. Right now that is not the case. They really did not call for only a primary, only to move it earlier. At the time of the commission the primary was in Sept. It took a threatened lawsuit to get it moved to August, the bare minimum needed to allow for absentee ballots to be sent to overseas (read – military) voters.
I tend to think they were proven worthless when the last governor was elected.
Hey, remember that time they endorsed Jerry Janezich to be a U.S. senator?
that was awesome.
Or the time they endorsed Alan Quist over a sitting governor who was seeking a second term? (Arne Carlson for those not familiar with 1994 Minnesota politics).
Those were interesting times. That's around the time I ran the political unit at MPR. Back then, the insiders of the party were out of step with the main street Republicans, just before the far right took over the party and purged the moderates.
"Those were interesting times.."
Understatement of the day. Watching the Grunseth and Hatch campaigns come apart in the 11th hour is one of the wildest things I have seen. Our politics are a bit like sports — there are just enough upsets to keep things interesting.
90% of incumbents win. Of the 10% that lose, 90% are outspent by a significant margin. Usually by a second time challenger. Many of those are least partly self financed (congress).
It's why the press covers finance reports. It is a significant indicator of success or failure in political campaigns.
Of the 1% left of the 10 percent, nearly all are well known figures – celebrities of a style.
That was the last time I voted for the IR – Go Arne!
IR.
Boy, there's a blast from the past, eh?
Buggy whip!
I think what happened at the conventions was very newsworthy. Pointless? If you wanted everything wrapped by then, then yes. The coming stories about how the parties are losing power and that change will be forced upon them will be interesting. But only if you care about politics.
As to news judgement, eye of the beholder I guess. But that happens all the time.
But interest is up, no doubt. Sensenbrenner's day time meetings notwithstanding.
Ben Chorn
As a "millennial", I found that a lot of my peers care about their own politics. They don't care much about the other side, progress, compromise, or understanding. They care about being right, and in a lot of political discussions there really isn't a right or wrong answer.
I can say that if there was a digital (online) "listening session" that there would be more participation, but I don't think the dialogue would improve.
"They don't care much about the other side…"
There, in a nutshell, is what's wrong with America today. It's not just the "millennials," either, Plenty of us Olds lack the ability or willingness to have an empathy with people who have different backgrounds or politics than we do. Shame on us for forgetting the meaning of "e pluribus unum."
Talking to my co-workers yesterday, I was astounded by how many didn't care about what was happening. As State Employees, our livelihoods depend on who is elected, but my co-workers must not see it that way. While we probably vote at a higher rate than most other groups, most of my co-workers don't seem to really pay attention until the last few months. Me and my union are trying to change that and get people involved more and earlier.
RBHolb
It's not surprising that people are uninterested in politics when the entire discussion and all of the coverage is about elections, strategy, and fundraising. It's a very shallow view of the political world.
Perhaps more people would be interested if the discussion took in a more expansive definition of "politics" to include how we interact and govern ourselves, and what the consequences of that governance are. A discussion about income inequality, for example, can be a fairly predictable, yet boring, rehashing of each party's stances and talking points. Or, it could be a more interesting discussion of why inequality matters, what it is doing to our society, and is it ever in fact a good thing. It's still politics, in the broad sense of dealing with the operation of the body politic (the polis), but it's a more fundamental and probably more important discussion than who said what on Twitter yesterday.
I don't want to say that elections are unimportant. The basic questions of why they are important are the ones we should be discussing.
X.A. Smith
It seems like the parties themselves are only interested in elections, strategy, and fundraising, and not governing. This is because money has taken hold of our political process, and until that changes, through legislation, that's the way the game will be played.
Except that's the role of parties–raise money and help get theircandidates elected. In any event, waiting for legislation to take the money out of politics strikes me as being a little like hoping for a cooling breeze from plate tectonics.
I think we, as citizens, need to demand more from elected officials. Don't let them get away with bland answers to questions ("Do you support a strong military?" "Yes, I do." "Okay, thank you for your candor."). Appreciate nuance, insist on explanations, and be willing to ask questions. That assumes, of course, a willingness to listen–for both the official and the citizen.
We should also be willing to ignore politicians when we need to. Sometimes, direct action (cleaning up the park on our own, for example) will accomplish more than writing letters and going to fora.
Agreed. But we could be publicly financing elections. We could limit corporate contributions. We could put more limits on, or end the practice of PACs. We've been going in the opposite direction since the 60s, unfortunately.
An election season could be 6 months long, and cost one tenth of what we spend on them.
It feels like we try to get engaged, but in the end have very little power to actually change any policy. Town halls are great press (sometimes), but I don't believe they actually impact policy.

This should be a major embarrassment for the the congressman, not the voter. What's he doing in these tiny towns? What's he accomplishing?
I suppose it's a commentary on the times when a congressman who represents small towns actually going there is considered a major embarrasment.
Basically, he'd just be staying in Milwaukee.
Parts of his district would have a half million people in a twenty mile radius. That's where he should go.
Visiting a tiny town is honorable. But again and again and again? Once more, what's he accomplishing?
He's showing that he is trying to engage with all of his constituents, not just the ones in the large population centers.
I'd like to see politicians go the the "enemy camp" and have a town hall meeting. That's just plain fun.
According to the article, he does that.
I have to believe if he engaged a strongly progressive crowd there wouldn't only be a few polite questions about net neutrality.
I'd like to see less about "enemy camps," or about the entertainment value of these events.
You'll get more in the street than inside.
I presume he still stops at the local cafes and such
He's eating in them 🙂
Has he been to that town a lot?
I think a lot of people are turned off by the "inside baseball" aspect of so much politics and political reporting, where the only concern is about who is "winning" as opposed to politics as policies that actually affect their lives.
I would say that most people do indeed care about political outcomes. Do people care about which candidate is ahead or behind in the polls on any given day, or whether candidate X is spending more on negative political ads than candidate Y, or how many babies candidate Z kissed at a campaign rally? Not so much.
Yeah…policy and politics have become two separate things.
lindblomeagles
I don't have very many facts, but, to me, I'd have to say people are not interested in politics. They hold certain viewpoints and identify with one party. They expect their congressionals to hold the same viewpoints and to not let the other party win. In this regard, people are just as shallow as the politicians people complain about. And few Americans, if any at all, are willing to say, "That's a good idea," or "You're right. My guy is promoting a bad brand of politics," or "Maybe I should switch parties or support a third party since I have such a low viewpoint of the two parties.
"MPR is an important part of my commitment toward maintaining a healthy lifestyle." —Elizabeth from St. Paul, MN

Boner Candidate #1: NANCY THIS IS OUR DESK
Members of the pro-Trump mob that broke into the U.S. Capitol building Wednesday broke into the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi while there. Trump-friendly media shared photos and videos from inside the office, and AFP photographer Saul Loeb took a photo of one such demonstrator sitting at a desk in Pelosi's office. Another photo shows that someone left a folder on her desk with the writing, "WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN" in red ink. And yet another photo shows someone — with their face exposed and smiling for the camera — walking off with a lectern with the House Speaker logo on it, but it's unclear if the lectern was taken from Pelosi's office or from another location.
Boner Candidate #2: I WAS JUST THERE TO FILM HISTORY
A newly elected lawmaker from West Virginia was among the mob of Trump supporters who stormed the United States Capitol on Wednesday, filming as he stood among the crowd outside a door, rushed with them inside and then wandered through the halls along with the scores of others who had breached the building. The lawmaker, Derrick Evans, posted the video to his Facebook page, where he goes by "Derrick Evans – The Activist" on Wednesday afternoon, but he later deleted it. Mr. Evans, who was elected as a Republican state delegate in November, posted several videos from the events of the day, both narrating and joining in "Stop the Steal" chants with throngs of other Trump supporters. In the video that was deleted, he is among a crowd that shoved up against a door at the Capitol's east front, some chanting and others loudly singing the national anthem. Those at the front appear to be trying to get inside, while Mr. Evans gives a running commentary on the attempts.
Boner Candidate #3: NO HE CAN'T
A Los Angeles, California-based comedian is putting his tummy where his mouth is with a flexible belly button that can blow a kiss. TikTok clips showcasing his umbilical gymnastics have gone viral online. "I grew up on a farm without cable," Henry Drayton, 27, told Caters News Agency about the inspiration for his stomach-smacking stunt, which he reportedly perfected by messing "around in the mirror."
Boner Candidate #1: ONE OF MANY…AND MORE TO COME
FREDERICK, Mary. — A marketing firm based in Maryland has fired an employee who wore his company badge when he stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington. Navistar Direct Marketing of Frederick said in a statement Thursday that it was made aware that a man wearing a Navistar badge was seen inside the Capitol during the security breach. The statement said that after the company reviewed the photos, the unidentified employee was fired for cause. No additional details were released.
Boner Candidate #2: COACH MALONE IS NO LONGER A PART OF THE UNIVERSITY
An assistant football coach at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga lost his job after smearing Stacey Abrams and the state of Georgia in a Twitter post that perpetuated unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, university officials said on Thursday. The coach, Chris Malone, was in his second season as an assistant and offensive line coach for the Mocs, according to a biography that was removed from the university's athletics website.
Boner Candidate #3: SHE SAID HITLER WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING
CHICAGO (AP) — A growing number of Democrats called Thursday for the resignation of U.S. Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois, a newly sworn-in Republican who quoted Adolf Hitler at a rally outside the U.S. Capitol this week. U.S. Reps. Jan Schakowsky and Marie Newman, both Illinois Democrats, along with a contingent of state legislators circulating a petition, demanded Miller step down immediately. "There are some things that cross a very definite line and that was one of them," said Schakowsky, who is Jewish. "At a moment like this, when emotions have been so high on all sides, to invoke the name of Hitler was about as inappropriate and wrong as you can get."

"This Time Round" concept by Tyler Dion et. al.
The patrons of This Time Round suddenly dived for cover. Some hid behind chairs or beneath tables, and others dived head-first into the plot holes from which they'd come.
A smirking New-Adventures Ace swaggered into the middle of the suddenly silent pub, wearing her military uniform and sunglasses. She was holding a small Spacefleet-issue flame-thrower that was primed, lit, and ready for burnination.
"Oh, Benny..." Ace called out, in a teasing sing-song voice. "Where did you go? I'm just trying to give you what you wanted!"
Benny shouted back, without coming out of hiding. "Ace, I wanted a Bud Light!!"

Wonder 4 Tower
Wonder 4 Tower Slot from Aristocrat
This slot combines 4 of the most popular video slots in the Aristocrat range into one intensive game. When I first saw this machine, I assumed that it simply allowed multiple play of Pompeii, Buffalo, 5 Dragons and Wicked Winnings 2.
Once you start to play you will find out that there are additional features built in – which will kick in during the free spin bonus games of the different slots. These not only allow you to hit wins on up to 6 sets of reels at once, multipliers now get randomly awarded to your wins.
Building Up Wins on the Wonder 4 Tower Slot
The first thing to note is that all 4 different games are played in the 'reel power' format. This is an all-ways system, where as long as symbols are on consecutive reels from the left hand side, they will always trigger a win. This means there are 243 winning combinations on a 5×3 slot and 1024 on a 5×4 grid. You pay one amount and each of the games will spin at the same time. These are sat one above the other on a tall thin cabinet which maximizes the space in crowded slot halls.
Individual wins depend on the games, as do special on reel features. I have covered each of the different games below – highlighting what makes them popular and their key bonus features. Below that the special Wonder 4 Tower bonus feature is covered.
Individual Games on the Wonder 4 Tower
Buffalo: This is a hugely popular game themed on the native wildlife of North America. There are wolves, cougars and of course buffalo on the reels. There are two key features for this game. The first is that you will win big prizes by hitting a lot of buffalo scatter symbols on the reels. If you get 12 or more anywhere in view these wins can be very big. There is also a 'super free spins' bonus game.
Wicked Winnings II: This slot has a slightly cartoon-like witches and goblins type theme. There are stacked wild symbols in play (the witch) that can cover entire reels are trigger multiple wins at the same time. While there is a free spins game the main feature for this slot is the respin after win. What happens is that your win sticks in place, and the remaining symbols all respin – giving you the chance of improving to a bigger win.
5 Dragons: This one is Asian themed, with Chinese style dragons and golden carps on the reels. The main feature is a free spins game which can come with huge win multipliers. You get to select from 5 different combinations of the number of free spins and the potential multipliers for wins that include dragons. The more spins you take, the lower the multiplier.
Pompeii: The final game on Wonder 4 Tower is based on the historical city of Pompeii, which is famously preserved in volcanic ash. The symbols are very much Roman, and the volcano Vesuvius will trigger 20 free spins for 3+ on the reels. The stand out feature for this slot is that you can hit wilds with a 3x or 5x multiplier. If you are lucky enough to create a win with both of these at the same time, then your win will be multiplied by 15.
Wonder 4 Tower Stacked Reels Bonus Game
You will hit free spins games and the smaller features individually on any of the games as you play. In fact this extra action is the main draw of playing 4 games at once – a more intensive slot experience!
Hitting the free spins will kick off the 'Super Free Spins' game, where you will be given the opportunity to spin up to 6 sets of a single game at once. The game where you triggered the spins will show 2 colored versions at the bottom of the screen, and 4 darkened ones above. There is now a new symbol covering all 3 of the middle reels (this is gold and says 'Wonder 4 Tower' on it). When this hits the highest set of reels currently in play, then the next set up becomes colored and is now in play. If you make it all the way to the top, then you have an extra incentive.
Not only will you now be spinning 6 sets of reels per respin, but random multipliers (think 2x to 5x) will appear in circles at the side of some sets of reels. These apply to wins on that set of reels. Any extras like the respins in Wicked Winnings II will still occur individually.
This is certainly an intensive game – with the action from 4 popular all-ways slots all at once. Since each slot has features and bonus games of its own, you will see a lot of action on the reels. Of course, this will need to be balanced with the additional cost per spin. The special bonus feature with up to 6 sets of reels can be triggered for any of the games when they hit free spins mode – and those extra multipliers can make this round very profitable on occasion.
