The National Fire Protection Association has declared October 9–15, 2016, to be National Fire Prevention Week, and SOS Survival Products is here to help pass some important facts about fire safety on to you. Whether you're reading this post in October or March, fire safety remains relevant; becoming aware of the statistics, learning how to prevent fires and knowing what to do in the event of a fire could save your life.
If you're of the opinion that you're unlikely to be affected by a fire, think again. According to the NFPA, 80 percent of fire deaths occur in the home. Fires are more likely to happen in familiar surroundings because we're much more likely to act careless there walking away from cooking items, lighting candles and smoking are just three of the leading causes of home fires that destroy roughly $7 billion in personal property and claim more than 2,500 lives every year.
According to the Red Cross, 36 people will be injured by fires daily in 2016; seven deaths in the United States will occur as a result of fires before the end of the day.
Don't become next year's statistic. Discover how to prevent fires and learn what actions to take should a fire occur in your home.
Cooking is the single leading cause of house fires in the United States year after year. From grease fires to simply forgetting you've left the stove on, a kitchen fire can quickly become uncontrollable, creating a fire large enough to consume your home in just minutes.
Don't cook late when you're tired or have been drinking.
Don't leave the kitchen area when you're frying, grilling or broiling.
Remain in the home when anything is on the stove, even if it's only simmering.
Keep items such as dish towels and oven mitts away from the stove top at all times.
Should a fire occur on the stove, use a lid to cover and smother the flame. Don't use water. Don't try to fan the flame away.
If a fire starts in your oven, turn the oven off and keep the door closed!
If at any time you feel like you're no longer in control of the fire, leave your home at once and then call 9-1-1 for help.
Being prepared in the event of a fire is crucial. Proper preparation can help put time back on the clock when you'll need it most and help you and your family escape as quickly as possible from a life-threatening situation.
A functioning smoke detector is your first line of defense when it comes to house fires. Smoke detectors help alert you and your family of smoke or fire oftentimes minutes before you're aware of a problem and are a vital life-saving asset.
Keep smoke alarms up to date.
Test smoke alarms and replace batteries as soon as an alert occurs.
Replace smoke alarms every 10 years no matter what.
Get monitored smoke alarms through a home security company.
All homes should be equipped with a functioning smoke detector upon your move-in date, but how often you test your smoke alarm and how well you keep it functioning is up to you.
Some homes, apartments or condos may additionally be equipped with sprinklers. If your home does not have a sprinkler system, it is recommended that you install one yourself.
Safety sprinklers can reduce your home insurance premium, are easy to maintain, remain effective in all climates and reduce the risk of dying in a fire by about 80 percent.
In addition, SOS Survival Products recommends you keep a fire extinguisher in every major room and equip your home with a foldable emergency ladder to allow for a safe escape from second- or third-story windows.
In the event of a fire, time is everything. Don't wait for a disaster to occur before you start planning.
Know what you'll take with you.
Never turn back into a fire.

Author Neil Gaiman revealed a surprising information in his lecture about how the private prison industry has been planning its future growth in terms of the number of cells that are needed for potential criminals in 15 years' time. How exactly are they able to predict such a situation?
They made the prediction using a simple algorithm based on the percentages of 10 and 11-year-old children who could not read.
Such conjecture, though not significantly correlated, is reliable enough to give a hint on the causality of illiteracy with crimes. Now that sounds like bad news to the society, doesn't it?
Studies have proven that literacy creates a better society; a safer society, rise in education success, better standard of living, etc.
Due to the decrease of interest and concern in books and reading amongst today's society, individuals and parents may have inadvertently caused the death of love towards books and reading in children and young adults.
In fact, such actions may be inevitable, given the hectic modern lifestyle that is adopted today and the workloads that tie people up from day to night, all of which aren't forgiving in nurturing the habit of reading in a person.

In their early age, kids who don't read are more prone to be misguided in their life later on. This is because they have not been exposed to the opportunity of developing a virtuous personality, a sense of moral values and to discover what kind of person they aspire to be, all of which can be achieved through books when a reader wants to emulate the values he or she comes across in between the pages of a book.
This may seem like an exaggeration but today's reality have offered proof to us on the decaying of morality amongst youth these days.
If you are still reading this, we believe that you are part of the society's minority who still care and believe that books play an integral part in shaping the future of a society.
Here, we list three things that contribute to the "killing" of love towards books that subsequently stop our kids from reading and becoming readers with well-developed intellects. Thus we would greatly appreciate it if you could prevent this misfortune from happening to your own kids.
When we watch TV, smartphones, videos from the internet, or even films, we are looking at what is happening to other people. We become the passive party with visuals and sounds being provided to us to watch and perceive. There is less need for us to use our imagination.
Reading a book, which comprises only of a set of 26 letters, requires the kids to create the world of the stories by themselves and look into it from their very hearts.
Based on the story, they design all the characters in their head. As they go through the story, they find themselves transforming into someone else, a character within the story, seeing everything that is happening in the book from their own perspectives.
This active process of "participating in the storyline" helps them to sharpen their thought process and contributes in the development of their own personality as they try to embody the moral values that are listed in the story itself. Once the story ends, this reader shall return to the real world as someone better after having actively learned the lessons from the book he or she just read.
There is a stark difference in terms of behavioural self-development between observing passively the unrelatable story of others and being the character itself to 'experience' the adventures.
With the images being spoon fed to viewers from the screen, why would they bother using their imagination to create characters and the fictional, rich inner world of those characters? They would grow up dependent on the input from the screens.
Not to mention, there are also the widely-known negative impacts of screen-dependency on a child's social skills, motor skills, etc. If it is not handled correctly, it would give birth to diverse social problems in the future.

Today's age of information is often understood as the world where one possesses a bucket load of knowledge, facts and numbers in one's memories. This perception is wrong! Under the pretence of "preparing the child's intellect for the future", kids today are exposed by parents to books on facts and theoretical concepts.
While this initiative is not really off target, kids also need room for developing their creativity via reading fictions and storybooks. Creativity helps them in sharpening their skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and self-awareness.
Fiction, for one, sparks interest among kids to enjoy reading. Compared to non-fiction, a fiction story is usually set on a timeline in which it drives the kids' motivation to keep on reading to know what will happen next.
Apart from that, works of non-fiction have a tendency to exclude aspects of emotion, empathy, lessons of life, and thought of wisdom because the focus is on the presentation of facts. These aspects are important if we aim to produce wholesome individuals with a sense of humanity and not mere emotionless robots.

To make a child love reading, the child must first fall in love with books and this can only be achieved if the child feels there is something worth exploring in between the pages of a book, something that would pique their interest.
Thus can a place be considered as conducive in nurturing the love of books, if for example, a house of an accountant is only filled with accounting books or the house of a software engineer has all sorts of books related to coding and computers but not one book that could intrigue the interest of his own child?
What about a house that has no book at all? Can a child fall in love with something that he or she has never even seen or met? Indeed these are thoughts for us to ponder upon.
Kids are so great at imitating. The absence of books — and the culture of reading — around kids would make them less likely to adopt this behaviour as they grow up. Not buying them any books or not bringing them to the library on a frequent basis would make them unappreciative of the benefits of both books and reading.
While it may be quite an aspiration if a parent wants to expose their children to intellectual and academic-type books early on in the children's life, ignoring a child's interest may actually be detrimental to this noble cause. Everything must be done in moderation and with careful consideration.
We want to make children love books and the habit of reading, not turn it into something that children view as burdensome and boring. Thus the type of books and the genre of books that we offer children matter greatly.
So what makes a book a fun book? First and foremost, we have to consider the level of language and comprehension of the kids because each kid is different and have varying interests.
It is the responsibility of the parents to recognise what their kids love. Naturally, kids will enjoy doing what they love. What a great society and world we'd have if the activity that kids love the most is reading.

Italian mayor bans internet access for council workers after discovering employees watch online porn for up to SIX hours a day
Narcisio Buffoni flicked the switch after a probe into net use
He is furious at the time workers spend ogling porn
Some workers would spend up to six hours on sex sites
By Nick Pisa

Italian mayor Narcisio Buffoni has ditched the internet at the council office arfter discovering that some employees were spending hours watching porn instead of working
An Italian mayor has ditched the internet from council offices are discovering employees spent the working day trawling hardcore porn sites for up to six hours a day.
Narcisio Buffoni, 60, was furious after an investigation uncovered that several of his staff were using their work computers to watch online filth.
The investigation also uncovered other cyber-slacking activities, such as the excessive use of Facebook, but it was the extreme use of porn that angered Mr Buffoni, the centre left mayor of Montignoso near Massa Carrara in Tuscany.
He has now ordered that all computers have access to the web denied, with connections limited to the council's internal system only.
Mr Buffoni said: 'All I am prepared to say is that there has been an improper use of the Internet within the council offices - that's why there is no access to the web.
'I am not prepared to go into the details of what the sites visited were, other than to say they were not work-related and not ethical. It was restricted to a limited amount of staff, not all 74 employees.'
According to reports in the Italian media, some of the employees would clock on at 8am and then spend as long as six hours surfing pornographic websites hardly doing any work and only stopping when the town hall building closed for lunch.
Online porn blamed as children aged just FIVE are quizzed... 'We don't like it when you read porn in public': Hilarious...
Prosecution shows video of 'Zumba prostitute' having sex...
It also emerged that the building's wi-fi was not secure, so locals would gather outside the building to log on and surf the web, also enjoying internet pornography.
According to Italian meda, some workers were spending six hours a day perusing porn on the web. File picture
Despite the probe and crackdown, Mayor Buffoni, who has been in office for two years, has decided that he will take no disciplinary action against the council employees involved.
The case does no favours for the traditional view of many of Italian local government employees who have long had a reputation for laziness and being work shy - with numerous attempts by central government in Rome to try and clean up their act.
In 2008 then public administration minister Renato Brunetta launched a clampdown which claimed to have halved the number of sick days claimed by public employees by 50% although the initiative is said to only have had a short-term effect.
The mayor has now ordered that all computers be disconnected from the internet, with connections limited to the Montignoso council's internal system
Among incidents uncovered at the time were a council worker who punched his time-card, then went boar hunting - only to get found out when he got shot in the leg and had to be rushed to hospital.
Another who claimed to have been on sick leave was actually discovered to have been on a 'long vacation in Kenya, claiming that ''the sun would help'' speed up her recovery from a sprained back.
More recently the mayor of the southern Italian town of Bari took to exposing lazy employees by posting pictures of them on his Facebook site below the question: 'Why are these people not working?'
But the slacking is not just limited to Italians - an investigation at the Vatican once revealed how dozens of civil employees there would also clock in and then leave to go out shopping or spend the day with friends and families when they should have been at their desks.

London is seen by Martins Bank as key battleground in which to fight for, and to win, the banking business of the great and the good. Even though Head Office is in Liverpool, having a major London office at 68 Lombard Street means Martins has people on the ground in the capital, and branches start to spring up all over London from the late 1930s onwards. The Bank takes out advertising to announce the opening of TWO new London branches within four days of each other, in February 1938. We are sorry that we have not been able to find a picture of the Bank's branch at 79 Edgware Road, which survives until 1969 when Barclays relocates the business to its Paddington Branch.
on the evening of November 27 Edgware Road branch was transformed for the entertainment of over forty colleagues of Mr Ronald Hughes, who retired as Pro Manager after 42 years' service, the last sixteen spent at that office, and all, apart from his years with H.M. Forces, in the London District. Those present included Mr S. W. P. Barter, Mr E. Parkinson (Manager) and his wife, Mr F. T. Belcher and a large number of managers, present colleagues and retired staff from the London District. In presenting Mr Hughes with a handsome record player and a commemorative book containing the signatures of his many friends, Mr Barter said that he was a man who all his life had been activated by a sincere desire to be of service whenever he could and who had gained the respect and friendship of countless people. Mrs Hughes was presented with a personal gift by Mrs Southin and the rest of the evening was devoted to the enjoyment and nostalgia such an occasion evokes.
however PRESENT copyright holder is sought please.
The new Mayor of Paddington is Councillor Denis McNair, Manager of our Edgware Road branch. Mr. McNair entered the Bank in 1922 at Huddersfield and was moved to the London District in 1937. He served with the Royal Navy in Bombay during the last war and was secretary to the Flag Officer. On his return to the Bank he went to Moorgate where he received his first signing authority and he was appointed Manager at Edgware Road in 1947. Mr. McNair's service to the Borough of Paddington has included a term as Chairman of the Finance Committee. He is Vice-President of South Paddington Conservative Association and a member of the Chamber of Commerce. He was elected to Paddington Borough Council in 1954 and has also been the Borough's representative on the Metropolitan Water Board.

DENSO will add advanced cyber security to the vehicle to avoid future accidents.
Defense in Depth structure protects the vehicle system from the attack.
In the automated driving era, a new type of traffic accident is forecasted. For example, the vehicle control system may be hacked and controlled from outside. DENSO is proposing a Defense in Depth system to protect the vehicle from the threat of controlling the vehicle from outside.
2-Drive EPS system can keep the steering function even when one system breaks down.
Split a Single Function in Two, to Provide Mutual Support. Our Answer to Safety.
DENSO has developed the world's first 2-Drive EPS, and delivered added new value to the EPS.
2-Drive EPS is composed of two independent electronic circuits and motor coils, and normally produces power assistance by the dual system.
If by some remote chance one system malfunctions, the EPS is designed to maintain a smooth drive by instantly continuing the steering assist with the remaining system. This raises the safety of turning function to an exceptionally high degree.


So I spent hours today beating my head against a wall and cursing JRE, so a pretty normally day for me.
I had to connect our TeamCity server to the GitLab server, the GitLab server uses a SSL cert that was generate from the AD Domain CA, so is trusted by all the domain machines. Our TC server is on the domain as well and when connecting to the https site it comes up as green.
However when connecting to git through TeamCity it is running inside JRE which for some reason doesn't use the machine trusts, it has it's own cert store you need to add the cert too.
if its untrusted you will see an error here.
You can use your web browser to export the public key.
Most docs tell me that you can export your root CA public cert, but this didn't work for me, I actually had to export the specific cert for this site.
Then use this command line to import the cert into JRE and restart TeamCity.
After this we are in business!

Home Newsroom GSEs to hold more capital; Berger stresses congressional coordination
GSEs to hold more capital; Berger stresses congressional coordination
NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and Treasury Department announced Monday that the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) will be allowed to retain more than their current $3 billion in capital: $25 billion for Fannie Mae and $20 billion for Freddie Mac. NAFCU's Dan Berger offered the association's general support in a letter to the agencies, but reiterated the need for legislative solutions to ensure safeguards in housing finance reform.
Berger, NAFCU's president and CEO, cautioned the agencies against moving forward with further administrative reforms "without first coordinating with Congress to achieve piecemeal legislative guarantees for fair pricing and equal access to the secondary mortgage market."
"Considering the critical importance of the GSEs to the credit union industry, removing Fannie and Freddie from conservatorship and fully recapitalizing them without legislative changes is a risk not worth taking as it could destabilize the entire housing industry," Berger emphasized to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and FHFA Director Mark Calabria. "NAFCU strongly encourages you to work with Congress to achieve legislative reforms to protect the integrity of the housing finance system and promote fair competition."
Calabria in a release noted that the GSEs' current leverage ratio would essentially "ensur[e] they would fail during an economy downturn – exposing taxpayers once again" and said the increased capital reserves "is an important milestone on the path to reform."
The GSEs were placed into conservatorship following the 2008 financial crisis. An agreement between the Treasury Department and the FHFA required the GSEs to send all of their income to the Treasury, but this obligation was going to leave the GSEs with no money in their reserves at the start of 2018. As a result, the GSEs were allowed to hold $3 billion in their capital reserves beginning in December 2017.
Last month, the White House released housing finance reform plans from the Treasury Department and Department of Housing and Urban Development. A number of NAFCU-supported provisions were included in the plans, and Calabria has made clear his intentions to ensure the GSEs end their practice of volume-based pricing discounts.
The association will continue to be a leader for credit unions during housing finance reform efforts. Read Berger's letter to Calabria and Mnuchin.

Sir Frederick William Stopford KCB, KCMG, KCVO (* 22. Februar 1854 in Dublin; † 4. Mai 1929) war ein Offizier der British Army, zuletzt Lieutenant-General, der am bekanntesten für seinen Einsatz auf der Halbinsel Gelibolu während der Schlacht von Gallipoli im Ersten Weltkrieg ist.

Leben
Stopford wurde als zweiter Sohn von James Stopford, 4. Earl of Courtown aus dessen zweiter Ehe mit Dora Pennefather, Tochter des Richters Edward Pennefather, geboren. Er hatte einen älteren Stiefbruder, der 5. Earl of Courtown wurde, und zwei leibliche Brüder.

Stopford wurde am Eton College erzogen. Er war von 1866 bis 1870 ein Page of Honour der Königin Victoria. 1871 trat er in die Grenadier Guards ein. Im Jahre 1882 war er Aide-de-camp des Stabschefs von Garnet Wolseley in der Ägyptischen Expedition, John Miller Adye, und nahm an der Schlacht von Tel-el-Kebir teil. 1885 war er Aide-de-camp von Arthur Lyon Fremantle, des Kommandeurs der Brigade of Guards in der Suakin-Expedition gegen Osman Digna. Anschließend diente er bis 1889 als Brigademajor dieser Brigade auf Kreta sowie der 2. Infanterie-Brigade in Aldershot. Von 1892 bis 1894 war er Deputy Assistant Adjutant General im Hauptquartier der British Army sowie anschließend im Aldershot Command. 1895/96 nahm Stopford am Vierten Aschanti-Krieg im heutigen Ghana teil. 1897 wurde er Assistant Adjutant General der British Army.

Stopford nahm als militärischer Sekretär Redvers Bullers, des Befehlshabers der Natal Field Force, am Zweiten Burenkrieg in Südafrika teil. Er konnte sich in mehreren Schlachten auszeichnen und wurde unter anderem mit der Aufnahme in den persönlichen Adelsstand als Knight Commander des Order of St. Michael and St. George sowie der Queen's South Africa Medal mit sechs Spangen geehrt. Nach seiner Rückkehr ins Mutterland wurde er Deputy Adjutant General in Aldershot und 1902 leitender Stabsoffizier des I Army Corps im Rang eines Brigadier-General an gleicher Stelle. Von 1904 bis 1906 war er im Rang eines Major-General Director-General of Military Training im War Office, anschließend befehligte er bis 1909 den London District. Danach trat er aus dem aktiven Dienst. Von 1912 bis 1914 war er Lieutenant des Tower of London.

Im Ersten Weltkrieg wurde er reaktiviert und ihm 1915 der Befehl über das neugebildete IX Corps übertragen. Dieses landete am 6. August 1915 in der Suvla-Bucht auf Gallipoli in einem letzten britischen Versuch, den Stillstand der Fronten bei Anzac Cove und am Kap Helles zu brechen. Stopford überwachte die Operationen von Bord der Sloop HMS Jonquil, ohne sich über den Ernst der Lage an Land im klaren zu sein. Seine Untätigkeit geriet schnell in die Kritik, und Kriegsminister Kitchener autorisierte den Oberbefehlshaber der Mediterranean Expeditionary Force, Ian Hamilton, am 14. August, einen Kommandowechsel vorzunehmen und stellte ihm den von der Westfront kommenden Julian Byng zur Verfügung. Am 15. August wurde Stopford seines Kommandos entbunden und durch Byng ersetzt.

Stopford kehrte auf seinen alten Posten des Lieutenant des Tower of London zurück, den er bis Januar 1917 innehatte. 1920 wurde er pensioniert. Stopford starb unverheiratet und kinderlos.

A beauty spa is a wonderful, relaxing environment that is meant to rejuvenate and refresh the mind, body, and soul. Beauty spas specialize in many kinds of services from a basic manicure or pedicure to complete makeovers. Before booking a day at a spa it is a good idea to know what kind of services are offered and how much you are willing to spend during your visit. The cost varies from location to location and the following services are found in most health beauty spas.
Massage is proven to relieve stress, reduce aches and pains in the body, and lower blood pressure. There are many types of massages that are available at a spa including the classic Swedish massage, hot stone massage, reflexology, Shiatsu, deep tissue, and aromatherapy massages. Each kind of massage is unique and is designed to work areas of the body with different techniques and methods. Most massages last 30, 60, or 90 minutes and the prices vary depending on the type of massage and the length of time chosen. Most spas offer a complete description of the types of massages they offer and the benefits of them. It is important to drink a lot of water after getting a massage as the water flushes the toxins from the body.
A facial is a very popular treatment at beauty salon spas as it is a deep cleansing of the skin on the face. A facial involves deep cleansing, exfoliating, and extraction of bacteria underneath the skin. Other facials involve having a mask applied that will soothe and cleanse facial pores. There are many types of facials and each salon has their own packages designed to fit your needs. Some spas offer microdermabrasion and anti-aging treatments to make your skin look and feel younger. It is important to remember that a facial may leave your face red and swollen for a short time after the treatment. Price varies depending on the type of facial desired.
Waxing removes unwanted body hair. Most beauty day spas offer waxing services for the entire body including the upper lip and chin, eyebrows, underarms, abdomen, back, upper thigh and calf, and various kinds of bikini waxes. It is important to schedule waxing appointments around other services. In some cases, waxing cannot be done on the same day as other services due to increased sensitivity of the skin. Waxing prices vary, but the larger the area that needs waxing, the higher the price will be.
Pedicures and manicures are a standard in beauty spas. Services for manicures may include a full set of acrylic or fiberglass nails or a simple trimming and polishing of your own nails. Pedicures often include a foot bath, foot and calf massage, exfoliating of calluses and rough areas of feet, and painting of toe nails.
There are many types of skin treatments available from body wraps to mud baths. These treatments are designed to cleanse and exfoliate the skin removing dead skin cells so that skin not only looks healthy, but also feels soft and smooth. A lot of wellness beauty spas now offer spray tanning that can be done once the body has been thoroughly exfoliated. This improves the appearance of the tan creating a more even look.
Beauty spas have the ability to transform a woman into a goddess. Hairstylists and skin professionals can change your look so completely creating a whole new you. Whether it is a new haircut and style to a deep cleansing and waxing, a makeover can make you feel like you just started your life over. Professionals will teach you how to style your hair and apply cleansers and makeup so that you can feel your very best.
Health and beauty spas are a wonderful way to feel refreshed and revitalized. One day in a beauty spa can take years off of your skin and hair, giving you a healthy glow and a confident attitude. Spas specialize in creating a relaxing environment filled with aromatic scents, soft music, and candles to help you feel peaceful and at ease. Understanding the services provided at the spa will help you decide which services will make you feel your best.

ICONIC BEAUTY: NOW AND FOREVER

Beauty is a fickle business. Marketers, developers, formulators, and consumers are always looking for the next new texture, ingredient, delivery system, or molecule. As a result, thousands of new cosmetic products are introduced each year. In 2011, the fragrance category alone saw the launch of 1,200 new perfumes worldwide—that's more than three a day!
Thankfully, even with all of these new launches, the beauty loving public has made sure that iconic products, including favorites dating back to the early 1900s, have not been forgotten.
Perhaps, the best example of a classic product that remains a bestseller worldwide is the timeless, feminine fragrance Chanel N°5 ($98). Launched

Jurassic Island 2 Review
Jurassic Island 2 is a dinosaur-themed online slot game developed by the team at Playtech. Those who played the original Jurassic Island will notice very few similarities between the two games outside of their theme. Several of the bonus features have been stripped away, though, a new maths model sees a serious increase in the number of ways to win. The original title was not a runaway success for the company, so making changes for the sequel seems like a smart move. Does it manage to improve upon it though? Let's take a more detailed look in this Jurassic Island 2 slot review.
Jurassic Island 2 Technical Features
The set-up of the Jurassic Island 2 slot is fairly standard, with the game taking place across a 5x4 grid. What is notable, however, is that the slot boasts an impressive 1,024 different ways to win. Other than this, the base game is what you'd expect, with very few bells and whistles being thrown in to mix things up.
One thing that is very notable here, though, is the betting range. Players can spin the reels for a minimum of €0.10 or a maximum of €500. This is a high amount that is definitely going to attract the attention of some players, especially when combined with a maximum win of 23,290x your stake. The RTP of the game is an average 95.7%
Jurassic World: Raptor Riches Review
Jurassic Island 2 Bonus Features
Wild Trial Feature
Sadly, Jurassic Island 2 does not come packed with too many bonus features, with the Wild Trial feature being the only one. This feature is triggered whenever players manage to land a scatter symbol on rows 3 or 4 or reel 5.
During the feature, a wild is locked onto reel four and players are given a free spin. If the free spin doesn't return a win, a wild is then added and locked onto reel three, if this still doesn't return a win, then another wild is locked onto reel 2, which will guarantee a win. Once a win has been secured, the feature ends.
Any wilds that appear during the round will appear as a multiplier of either 3x, 4x, or 5x, which can add a nice little boost to your win.
Jurassic Island 2 Theme and Design
The clue for the theme of this title should be in the name. Jurassic Island 2 takes place in the heart of an island, with a T-Rex wandering around behind the reels as the game plays. This was one area of the game that we weren't too fond of. As the action is taking place, the camera continues to pan around, creating quite a nauseating effect that can almost remove any of the pleasure from the gameplay. Outside of this, the reels themselves are very basic looking and the animations don't really capture the imagination all that much.
Power of Gods Hades Review
Jurassic Island 2 is a fairly unspectacular outing from Playtech. The lack of too many bonus features is going to turn some people away, though, the fact that the bonus round offers a guaranteed win is definitely a selling point. The 23,290x definitely gives this one a boost but an average design and fairly uninspired gameplay will mean that this slot isn't going to be for everybody.

World of Showjumping's series 'That Special Bond' continues with another member of the French gold winning team from the Rio Olympics. Roger Yves Bost – or Bosty as we all know him – has been around longer than most of us can remember. Known for his unique way of riding, as well as his deep understanding and love for his horses – we were curious to hear what this true horseman had to say about the special connections he has found with his horses.
"I have been riding and competing for a long time, so it is really difficult to name only a few horses. I feel like I have been very lucky, and I have had so many great horses during my career. I owe it much to my father, who also was a rider; I always followed him. In 1977, I did my first national show – I think all my life I have done the same shows as Ludger Beerbaum!" Bosty laughs when telling about the beginning of his long and successful career.
"Norton de Rhuys (Duc De Ferce x Roi de la Vesquerie) will always be special to me, because he was the first really good Grand Prix horse that I had. I rode him at the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm in 1990, and we won the team gold medal there. He was a very good horse – a winner – and we won many classes together.
Looking back over the most recent period of time, I have Sydney Une Prince (Baloubet Du Rouet x Alfa D'Elle) and Myrtille Paulois (Dollar du Murier x Grand Veneur) that stand out as special to me. They are both mares and a little bit similar, as they are both fighters. I like mares, they give you so much more in the ring. It is difficult to say who is the better of these two, you can't really pick one over the other and you should not compare horses.
Sydney has a better character perhaps – with Myrtille you really had to find a way and compromise. Like in Herning at the European Championships in 2013, when she gave her best and we won – that is how good she could be when she wanted to. But with her, you had to be lucky – she needed to have one of her good days. She was very special in her head!
The beginning with Myrtille was difficult, with Sydney I could go forwards much easier – she is brave and simple like that. Sydney is the same every day, she is easier in her head than Myrtille was.

'Being Black, Going Crazy?' shows we need more conversations about mental health
Tahiera Overmeyer
It's only when you get older that the childhood view you had of your "normal" family gets shattered. All of the family secrets seem to come out. At 18 I found out that numerous close family members struggling with mental health issues – most commonly clinical depression. Before then, mental health had been treated as an "adults-only" discussion. It was spoken about in whispers, like a dirty little secret ready to be swept right back under the rug. The loudest thing said was, "I'll pray for them."
Dialogue surrounding mental health issues is often hushed in the black community, leaving little room for greater understanding of people's experiences, triggers, or treatments. Writer and radio host Keith Dube challenged this in January 2015 by blogging about his depression and sparked a discussion. Now, more than a year later, his platform for conversation has been extended to a BBC Three documentary. Being Black, Going Crazy?, which explores the stigmas and causes of mental health issues in the black community; unfolding the stories of three people whose lives have been affected by it. Working from the staggering statistic that black men are six times more likely to be sectioned to a mental health hospital than white men, the documentary proves that the silence definitely needs to be broken.
The socio-economics of impoverished neighbourhoods is a factor that Dube touches on throughout the doc – growing up in this environment is something that can impact the psyche negatively. Although this sheds light on people's surroundings playing a significant role in their mental health, the NHS, which costs around 4 percent of your salary, doesn't always provide suitable care. Dube discovered that racial inequality exists in mental health treatment, and in the documentary we see psychologist Malcolm Phillips talk about this on Radar Radio with Dube, claiming that black people are much "less likely to get any talking treatment" due to practitioners perceiving black people as "more dangerous". Unfortunately, biases are nothing new when diagnosing something as complex as the mind.
A well-known 1973 study, On Being Sane in Insane Places, investigated whether or not sane people can be diagnosed as insane and sectioned to a mental health hospital. Eight sane people approached hospitals claiming that they were hearing voices saying the words "thud", "empty" and "hollow". Rosenhan specifically chose to use these words as they allow interpretation for an existential crisis to be the issue. Beyond this, the only other aspects professionals were judging them on was the pseudopatients' normal behaviour. It was found that completely sane pseudopatients were then diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
In addition to biases being a general existing issue in diagnosis, the cherry on top is clear from Phillips' interview: blackness connotes madness to some medical professionals. People who work in a supposedly scientific, objective field are able to squeeze in preconceived, subjective notions about patients based on their skin colour.
Our voices should be loud and welcomed within our own families; isolation certainly doesn't ease the experience of living with mental disorders. As seen in the documentary, many people feel that their parents won't be supportive or understand that the mental battles they're fighting may need more than a prayer or time to heal. In 2014 The Guardian interviewed an evangelical musician, Carlos Whittaker, about this after his own pastor advised him to stay silent about his mental health issues and others encouraged him to turn to his faith:
"I can pray 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and I'm still going to have to take that little white pill every single day," he said. As shown in Dube's documentary, in the black, religious community mental health issues are sometimes dismissed as anxiety that can be overcome or perceived as demonic, causing even further isolation.
Rapper Kid Cudi's recent self-care choice – checking into rehab for depression – has also put black mental health in the spotlight via a Facebook post, "I am not at peace. I haven't been since you've known me. If I didn't come here, I [would've] done something to myself," he wrote.
It has encouraged people in the black community to start the discussion. It's raised questions about the pressure of masculinity, which seems to be a lingering issue for Kudi, as evidenced by his discussion of his depression in his recent iamOTHER interview. If one man can manage to inspire people to open up with each other by displaying his vulnerability on a global platform imagine what we can do in our own homes.
Whilst religion and mental health treatments are both ways to help the mind handle and embrace reality, it must be remembered that one does not replace the other. For some people, spirituality can be a way to begin breaking the silence about personal battles and believing in a higher power can feel like a proactive way to keep us sane when we don't understand the dynamics of our minds or, even, this world. But for others, an appointment at the doctors might be needed.

Lieutenant General Milton J. Foreman was a hero of the Spanish-American War, Mexican Border Service Campaign and World War I.
Colonel Milton J. Foreman, of the Illinois National Guard, received the Distinguished Service Cross for bravery in World War I while serving in France. When his unit came under heavy artillery and machine gun fire, he crept through the German gunfire, laying out telephone wire so that he could tell his artillery where the enemy had its gun positions. Foreman found the enemy gun positions and directed his artillery to lay down a barrage of shells to destroy them.
General Foreman was awarded for bravery the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star Citations, French Legion of Honor and the Belgian Order of the Crown. During World War II, Foreman was honored when a merchant liberty ship was named the S.S. Foreman.
When World War I ended, hew was discharged and appointed a colonel in the Illinois National Guard. He was promoted to brigadier general on June 23, 1920 and major general on March 19, 1921. Upon Foreman's retirement, in 1931, he was promoted to Lieutenant General.
General Foreman was one of the organizers of the American Legion and he was elected chairman of its executive committee at the Paris Caucus, at which he represented Illinois. During the Legion's third national convention in 1921, he was designated as a past national commander by resolution.
Foreman was born on January 26, 1863, in Chicago, Illinois. He was educated here and eventually became an attorney, being admitted to the bar in 1899. He served as a member of the Chicago City Council from 1899 to 1911. In 1931 he was actively involved in organizing the Veterans' Repeal League. He was appointed as a member of the Illinois State Liquor Control Commission.
He was very active in politics and civic affairs. Foreman had the confidence of presidents, cabinet members, senators, governors and mayors. He was a bachelor and a collector of rare books.

XHDRBZ (stylized as XHDЯBZ, a wordplay for "XH", a Mexican radio and television satellite code, and "DRBZ", consonants of Eugenio Derbez' last name) is a Mexican sitcom (sometimes surreal comedy) produced by Televisa and broadcast by the Canal de las Estrellas network. XHDRBZ emulated a television channel that broadcasts sketches, not unlike the Canadian sketch show SCTV. When a sketch finished, credits were shown, like in a real television program. XHDЯBZ was created by Derbez in 2002, and the series marked his debut as a producer.

The show ran for two seasons from 2002 to 2004. Derbez ended production, choosing to expand one of the show's most popular segments, La Familia P.Luche, into its own half-hour-long show. Both shows are broadcast in the United States on the Galavisión network. Today the show is transmitted in Latin America and Europe.

Format
The show emulated a TV channel. When the show began, the screen showed a notification saying that Televisa handed over the transmission to XHDRBZ. The show began with an introduction assimilating that of a Newscast. Each sketch is then presented as if it were a different show; at the end of each sketch showed its cast and credits. When the actual show finished, it would present a notification that said Televisa would return to its usual broadcast.

Musical theme
In 2002, the musical theme was interpreted by Gerardo Suárez and the music was produced by Suite Sync; in 2004 it was produced by Sensaciones Sónicas, and in 2004 Galilea Montijo took care of the choreography.

Sketches

Shows
These are some of the shows featured in XHDRBZ. Most of the titles of these are a word game in Spanish, thus it might not make sense with the translation. Title in Spanish provided in brackets.

 The mrazy conk (El Lonje Moco), a crazy monk who reads letters from an audience
 Filming (Peliculeando), an actor who shows his latest projects (videos that are the "true definition" of movies; for example, a car screeching is supposed to be "Shreeeeeeek" (Shrek), and a camper peeing on a campfire is supposed to be "Missipippi En Llamas" (Mississippi In Flames); "Missipippi" is an alternate spelling of "me hice pipi", which means, "I peed, or urinated".)
 Top 3 (Top 3 del Momento)
 Someone explain this to me! (¡Que alguien me explique!), Eugenio Derbez plays Hans Pujenhaimer, a German studying Spanish in Mexico, but can't seem to comprehend certain Spanish phrases
 Five incoherences (Las cincoherencias -wordplay)
 Medical cases of real life (Medicazos de la vida real) (wordplay, and reference to long-running anthology telenovela Mujer, casos de la vida real)
 Speaking White (Hablemos Blanco), A sketch in which Eugenio attempts to tell a story without vulgar language. He often says a sentence with a brief pause, showing a prop simulating the vulgar term, then says something completely different.
 Section Impossible (Sección Imposible), Sammy Perez and Miguel Luis interview people over holidays- or the city of Acapulco in one episode- with humorous results from their blunders. It uses "unintentional humor" as it is unscripted.
 (Calzón que me toquen bailo)
 The little devil (El diablito), Eugenio Derbez plays a devil who makes people fall, trip, or slip (usually funny videos similar to those found on America's Funniest Home Videos) by pushing a big button
 Eugenialities (Eugenialidades - word play)
 Furxhio (bloopers)
 The X Files (Los expedientes X)

 Adventures of Agent D. Zent (Las aventuras del Agente D. Zente - word play)
 Ask me (Pregunteme)
 (Armando Hoyos) (word play with putting holes together) An etymology professor translating words bit-by-bit in a very literal way. He also shares "philosophical" ideas based on pop culture.
 Aderberaz reports (Reportajes de Aberberaz)
 (Sin To Ni Zon)
 Cooking with Tony (Cocinando con Toño)
 The Stroll around everywhere (La Paz Sea Por Todas Partes) (wordplay also meaning Peace Be Everywhere when pronounced as such), A segment meant to teach others about peace, love, and anger management hosted by the guru Nicolas Tranquilino. He always spirals into a rage because of his blundering production team. He is Eugenio's most violent and foul-mouthed character.

Rerelease for classic Alice Cooper album 'Billion Dollar Babies'
Norman van den Wildenberg | February 1, 2014 | Release | No Comments
Alice Cooper fans worldwide rejoice! Marshall Blonstein's Audio Fidelity is releasing Alice Cooper's classic album 'Billion Dollar Babies' on Hybrid SACD on February 4, 2014! As a bonus, along with the meticulously reproduced artwork, enclosed in every CD is the very collectible replicated 'Billion Dollar Bill'
With 'Billion Dollar Babies', Alice Cooper refined the raw grit of their earlier work in favor of a slightly more polished sound resulting in a mega-hit album that reached the top of the US and UK album charts. It's impossible to overstate how popular the band had become by the time their sixth album was released. The album, is brilliant, decadent and encapsulated all the celebrity trashiness of the 70's only three years into the decade.
Song for song, 'Billion Dollar Babies' is probably the original Alice Cooper group's finest and strongest. The album's singles "Elected", "Hello Hooray", "Billion Dollar Babies",and "No More Mr. Nice Guy" all became hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Also included are a pair of perennial concert standards – the disturbing necrophilia ditty "I Love the Dead" and the chilling macabre of "Sick Things".
After the album was released, the band embarked on a tour which broke the US box office records previously held by the Rolling Stones. The show climaxed with a guillotine execution of Alice. The album and the tour made the band into the world's preeminent pied pipers of teenage trash culture and the most successful rock band ever to be loathed by American parents.
"Other than the original 'Alice Cooper Band' being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in 2011, our second biggest achievement was when our album 'Billion Dollar Babies' went to Number #1 in all three music trade magazines at the same time in April of 1973. Number #1 in Billboard, Number #1 in Record World and Number #1 in Cash Box. We had hoped it would sell Gold or Platinum as a follow up to the success of our album 'School's Out', but a Number #1 album was something that was totally unexpected. Over the years the title track "Billion Dollar Babies" has become my signature song because of the recognizable drum intro." – Neal Smith, Alice Cooper drummer and founding member
"I remember we were out on the road when the album finally came out in February 1973. I listened to it in my hotel room and just got this really big smile. I was thinking, 'It's amazing, we're really pulling this off'. The album was very, very unique and very, very different. I was really proud of the songs, especially 'No More Mr Nice Guy', 'Billion Dollar Babies' and 'Generation Landslide'." – Michael Bruce, Alice Cooper guitarist/keyboardist and founding member

Strike ends; SEPTA, union sign deal
The strike by SEPTA workers that had paralyzed much of the region since last week ended this morning with a signing of an agreement by SEPTA officials and leaders of Transport Workers Union Local 234.
by By Sandy Bauers, Sam Wood, and Paul Nussbaum, Inquirer Staff Writers
Buses, subways, and trolleys, idled since 3 a.m. Tuesday, should be running in time for this mornning's rush.
The end to the six-day walkout came in dramatic fashion, as union leaders joined SEPTA officials about 12:45 this morning at a news conference outside the Center City office of Gov. Rendell, who brokered the deal a day after he said he was giving up on efforts to settle the strike.
Attending the news conference were U.S. Rep. Bob Brady, who has mediated SEPTA strikes in the past, Mayor Nutter and Local 234 president Willie Brown.
Brady said he never stopped talking to the union, which over the weekend backed off from an agreement reached late Friday.
"Negotiations never broke off. We never stopped talking," Brady said. "Some numbers had to be massaged. . . . Everybody cooperated."
Rendell, who had blamed union leaders for the collapse of Friday's tentative agreement, had only praise for Brown this morning. "Willie Brown did his job well for his members," he said. "That's the nature of the collective-bargaining process." Nutter said the most important thing was that "the system will be up and running" this morning.
Brown, who nodded in agreement, said a ratification vote would be held in a week and a half.
After the collapse of Friday's agreement, Rendell had threatened to withdraw nearly $7 million in state funds to pay for bonuses of $1,250 per worker. By signing the pact, the TWU, which represents 5,100 drivers, operators and mechanics, preserved the bonuses.
The five-year contract also calls for a 2.5 percent raise in the second year, and a 3 percent raise in each of the final three years. It increases workers' contributions to the pension fund from the current 2 percent to 3 percent, and increases the maximum pension to $30,000 a year from the current $27,000 a year.
The strike ended much as it started: in the middle of the night, with many in the city unaware of what would await them in the morning.
Earlier yesterday, officials on both sides had made it clear that no new talks had been scheduled and that this morning's commute would be much like last week's: with the nearly one million riders who use SEPTA's City and Frontier Division buses and trolleys and the Broad Street Line and Market-Frankford El every weekday having to find alternatives.
The strike's impact was minimal yesterday, with people taking advantage of balmy weather to walk to their destinations. Some churches set up car pools to get members to services.
Otherwise, the city seemed to take a breather from the angst. Not even a planned demonstration against Local 234 outside SEPTA headquarters on Market Street came off.
The strike appeared to have been settled late Friday, when Rendell and Brady announced a tentative agreement with the union.
On Saturday, however, Local 234 leadership rejected a contract offer that the governor and the mayor considered generous, given the current economic climate.
Rendell and Nutter were angered that the union and SEPTA had reached what the governor called a handshake agreement - and the union balked.
Yesterday afternoon, union spokesman Jamie Horwitz said: "The governor was correct. There was essentially a handshake agreement on some of the big issues related to salary and pension funding. "But the devil is in the details. And when the contract was sent over [Saturday], it included a couple things that were difficult for the union," Horwitz said.
Yesterday at Zion Baptist Church at Broad and Venango Streets in North Philadelphia, congregants streamed in for the 10:45 a.m. service.
Cars pulled up outside to drop off the elderly and infirm, and the no-parking zone along Broad Street was filling up.
Pastor Gus Roman said attendance at church activities all week, as well as at the earlier service yesterday morning, had been down, although he wasn't sure by how much.
But he was concerned about much more than attendance.
"It's the community health and welfare," he said.
"All during the week, you look at Erie and Broad, which is a hub for a lot of traffic . . . and you see the barrenness of it," he said. "It's frightening to see that. And the impact of that on business."
People couldn't get to hospitals or services they needed during the strike, he said.
"One of the things this is teaching us is that we're going to have to look at the impact of SEPTA on the church and on these institutions," he said.
He said he had concluded that the city's religious community should be involved.
"It's an eye-opener," he said. "It's in our mission statement that we are a service organization. But not until now did we give any thought to the role that the church should play" at the bargaining table.
"The way it is now, we're just bystanders, just looking," Roman said. "We need to mount an effort - churches - to do what we need to to, and that is to be a voice to the negotiations."
On Market Street, a bellhop at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel said pedestrian traffic was about the same as usual. Most hotel guests, he said, tend to take taxis instead of public transportation.
A few doors west, a protest against the union had been planned for 1 p.m. But by then, the only person other than SEPTA security officers and members of the media was Tili Ayala, who hadn't known about the demonstration and simply went on her own from Frankford, "as a Mormon activist."
She held a sign that read, "Talk is cheap. Get service back on street!!"
