The free slot machine Snake Rattle & Roll is one of the latest Novomatic housework already available on the best online casinos.
The game includes a minimum bet of 0.20 and a maximum of 100.00. You win spinning reels with the appropriate button and making sure that three or more identical symbols are placed next to each other on one of the 20 paylines available.
The paylines are defined in the pay table or at the edges of the grid but only by switching to full screen mode. In any case they are characterized by a different color.
The player can change the number of lines and the amount of the bet to each game.
The "Play" button starts the reels after determining the initial bet and the number of paylines. The Play button, after pressing, turns into Stop to allow the rollers to stop manually.
If three or more symbols of the same type are located adjacent to each other, a win is awarded. In the case of multiple combinations, player get only the winning with highest value.
The Dice, Scatter card, which unlike all other symbols, pays combinations regardless of the alignment on the paylines.
When the Extended Wild function is activated (ie when the snake symbol extends to the reel), the snake charmer will appear randomly, which with his flute will help to get extra wild symbols on the grid.
The funniest feature is definitely the Scale and Snakes bonus activated by the 3, 4 or 5 Scatter/Dice output to which the same number of dice rolls correspond. The goal here is to roll the dice to move the snake charmer on the boxes of the board where there are ladders that help to finish the route faster or snakes that instead will make back.
In any case, each box hides a different prize that can consist of other dice rolls, free spins and wilds. If you get to the top instead you win the progressive jackpot, which is possible even when the snake's eyes come out at the first roll of dice.
Once this phase is over, the free spin bonus starts with a number of laps equal to those won in the previous bonus but with the option of playing with 20, 30 or 40 lines. In the free spins there is also an additional symbol (the basket) that on the fifth reel will allow you to win additional free spins in the case of a vertical combination of three baskets.
The last function available is Gamble Feature. Every winnings obtained in the main game can then be risked with a 50% chance of success.
Finally, remember that the payout provided for the Snake Rattle & Roll slot is 95.04%.

Traveling: an expensive pleasure in Latin America
Published: - Jan 23, 2019
Travel	Economy	Perspective
Listen this article
Boarding fees and taxes are responsible for air tickets in Latin America are above the values offered in Europe and Asia
Flying in Latin America is expensive. Compared to European airlines, the cost of tickets in Latin America exceeds those of Europe and Asia, or at least that can be deduced in the Global Flight Price Ranking report. A study carried out by the Rome2rio web portal that analyzes dozens of domestic airlines on the planet.
Leer en español: Volar: un placer costoso en América Latina
The ranking, which takes into account the cost per seat-kilometer available, is led by companies from the Middle East and Southeast Asia, being the cheapest to travel Tiger Air (Australia), with a value of 6 dollar's cents per kilometer, equivalent to 50 Chilean pesos or 250 Colombian pesos, which would not even reach a liter of gasoline.
The second cheapest airline in the world is AirAsia X (Malaysia), with a rate that reaches $ 0.07. The third place is for Air Asia (Indonesia), which charges 8 cents per kilometer.
The report, which compares ticket values between January and February 2018, has no Latin companies among the 50 cheapest airlines on the planet. As for international travel, AirAsia X charges 0.07 dollars in a transfer between the United States and the Asian continent. For the same route, Air India Express is in second place with 0.08 dollars per kilometer and in third place is the Icelandic company First Air, with 9 cents per kilometer.
On the other hand, if the value of the tickets were established only by the kilometers traveled between two points, Chile would be the cheapest country on the planet, this thanks to the massive entry of low-cost airlines as the case of JetSmart, which offers tickets at 0.09 dollars per kilometer. There is also Sky Airline, with 0.11 cents and Latam Chile, with 0.13, which offer economic transportation within the country and its neighbors Peru and Argentina.

Why traveling is so expensive?
The boarding fees and taxes make the final value of tickets in Latin America increase for the consumer, so it can be deduced in the Comparative Analysis Cost of Domestic Boarding Costs in Chile and Latin America, advanced by the Chamber of Commerce from Santiago.
The study shows that "domestic operations, approximately 50% of the airline's operating costs are taxed with VAT (Value Added Tax), with fuel usually being the most relevant, followed by charges for airport services, marketing (commissions and sales services), and then minors such as cleaning and catering ".
And he adds that "When VAT is applied on tickets, a VAT debit is generated, but also the VAT credit. Therefore, when this sales tax exists, the airline recovers approximately 50% of its VAT cost, which causes a decrease in its operating expenses that ranges between 6% (Peru) and 10.5% ( Argentina, given that the VAT is 21%, but the national air tickets are only taxed with 50% of VAT) ".
With the above, the ladder presents Mexico as the most expensive country in the region that has high tariffs, followed by Ecuador and Chile. Meanwhile, Argentina and Bolivia are the nations with cheaper domestic passages, this despite the fact that low-cost airlines have marked a before and after in the area.

Unpaid women's work is actually a real job


Just got back from another John Vester gig, in De Waag in Amsterdam and I thought I'd share my experiences.
De Waag is a very beautiful old place. Right where dead people were being cut up by surgeons, John played his beautiful songs. When Hanne, Marlies, Marjolijn and I arrived upstairs, we were greated by John. There were about 30 or 40 people. A pretty quiet audience, that appreciated this music.
At 9 he started playing and again it was a very nice mix of beautiful songs, very funny numbers and anecdotes. This time there was no coffeemachine to disturb the music, but something that sounded like Santa's bells. That was weird. But to top it all, was when it started raining as John started singing his rainsong (title slipped my mind). Cracked us all up and John was trying hard not to laugh and to continue singing.
So, if you're able, please do try to go to one of his shows. And if you're not quite sure and first want to read and hear what John is all about, check out http://www.johnvester.com. For those who were sorry there weren't with us tonight: there might be some footage of the show on John's website soon.
Tonight at this very special and very old venue in the heart of the centre of Amsterdam we were witnessing another great show of John Vester. Another place I've passed many times on my bicycle, but never ever have seen inside: De Waag (where in the Middle-ages merchandise was weihged, as were people and witches). We had to climbe two whole stairs (!) to enter a round room at (almost) the top, at which Rembrandt painted his famous painting the Anatomy Lesson.
John remembered our faces from his first gig in Hardenberg and was happy to see us again. He was seated beneath a text on the wall, which told in Latin and in old Dutch about the corpses of criminals, which were cut open in that very room, to serve science. The words above him said something about the dead and mute bodyparts. That was already a funny kick-off!
at De Waag in Amsterdam.
There was more eyecontact with the audience, and quite some smiles here and there, and he was very cameraconscious! Yes, the whole thing was taped.
When he was playing a certain song, the sound of a babyrattle or something like that came through the open window from the street. It was out of rythm and was a bit annoying but also very funny. And when he sang 'Greatfull for the rain' it started pouring down right at that second! Tears were running down my cheeks from laughing.
It was a completely different audience in comparison with Hardenberg. Quieter and more polite, no singing along (exept for the four of us), almost solemn, so he left all his f(peep)k you -jokes behind!
After the show we (Marjolijn, Marjolein, Hanne and me) stayed in our seats talking about the show (and lost loves), and John joined us in talking about the show and stuff. It was great fun. It's easy to talk to him, no troubles or shakes at all, like I always have trying to get just one word out to the Lennons. If we ever go to California, we were invited. Wow! But I probably will never go there, though Hanne will this summer!
We said our goodbyes and John called us his first Dutch diehard fans. If I was able to, I certainly would try to catch another show!
ps. drink a bottle Whiskey(or two) before you tape "Where is my woman" for your next album!
Just got back from the John Vester show in the Troubadour in Hardenberg. I bought both cd's, but unfortunately I don't have a cd player in my car, so to keep the spirit of the evening I just sang (as little words as I know) 'You're the one' over and over. Beautiful song.
When I arrived at the Troubadour alotta familiar fans were already there, enjoying the sun on the porch. It was a shame to have to go inside again, but it sure was worth it.
posing at the entrance of De Waag.
Around 9 John started playing. He was very nervous, looked only on his sheet music at the beginning when he talked to the audience, but that faded. I've hardly heared anyone with such dry humour. He's even dryer than a Martini. Sometimes his voice fell away in the noice of the koffie machine, but John said it sounded like the crowd was going wild, haha. The wave was the only thing missing, I guess.
He played his songs, old, new, Venice and experimental songs, just as he felt fit; no setlist at all. And when he didn't hit the right note at the beginning, he just started over. Sounded very familiar :) He'd already heard from the Venice guys about us Dutch fans singing along so enthousiasticly, but he was very amazed when we al sang along with 'We're still here' in our Dutch fan way.
And no matter how shy the guy is, he gladly took the time to sign his cd's and posters and to have a chat with some fans.
Well, there's probably much more to tell, but it's bed time for me. Tomorrow there sure'll be others to give their impression of tonight's show. I'll fall asleep with the knowledge that I've added some interesting music to my collection.
Vester in Hardenberg: How Humble!
At about 6 p.m. we arived at The Troubadour, which is build in a curve near the river De Vecht. A beautifull venue, where we could sit outside in the sun and we ate and drank a little to pass the time in company of a growing group of Venice fans and- friends.
His promoter looked at his watch, John had to start his gig, but he just kept talking to every one who was at the merchendise table, so the promoter came outside to the terrace to tell us the gig would start half an hour later.
It was clear to John there was a bunch of Venice fans, and he learned from them that we like to hear the idea behind the songs, so he started every song by telling a little story about it. He's sometimes quite a naughty guy I must say! He made lots of little jokes and some of his songs are little jokes by themselves!
John played a couple of songs of his new album, some Venicesongs and some songs he never recorded before, just to try them out. And those were little jewels, so John, don't throw them out, but put them on your new album please! He also played a song (don't remember exactly which tiltle it has, was it Unbreakable Heart?), which apparently will be recorded at the Bahamas by Venice for their upcoming cd.
My friend and I joked that we already could hear Mike going wrong at the little guitar solo's and see Kipp's 'angry' lookes at him (sorry for my terrible english at this part but it is in the middle of the night overhere and I should be sound asleep by now!) ! So we'll just wait and see!
John plays lovely straight forward songs, with lovely lyrics. It amazed me how simple he can translate his feelings and emotions into littlte treasures of songs, or sometimes in short strong words tell us how shocked he has been by something that happened to or around him.


On their way back to the Loire viking camp, Bjorn Ironside and Hastein stopped in North Africa where they bought some African slaves (which was known to the Vikings as 'blaamenn', meaning blue men, possibly West Africans or Tuaregs), they were later sold in Ireland at the local slave market.
Bjorn Ironside and Hastein were attacked just when they had passed the Straits of Gibraltar, a Muslim navy from Al-Andalus were waiting for them. In the desperate battle that followed, Bjorn Ironside lost 40 ships, largely to a form of Greek fire launched from the attacking Saracens catapults.
The last raid was against Pamplona, and 20 ship, the remainder of the fleet managed to return to Scandinavia.

BREAKING: AFC Leopards vs Gor Mahia derby moves to Kasarani
Elvince Joshua
18:48 GMT+3 09/07/2018
Gor Mahia are currently top of the table with 49 points while Ingwe are four places and 15 points behind the leaders
AFC Leopards will host Gor Mahia at the Moi Sports Centre Kasarani.
The Mashemeji Derby, that has been postponed twice so far, will be staged in the capital with the two of Kenya's biggest clubs set to square it out on July 22.
There had been conflicting information about the possible venue for the derby with hosts AFC Leopards wanting to host the game at Bukhungu Stadium. But KPL CEO Jack Oguda has now confirmed that the game, the biggest in the Kenyan Premier League calendar, will be staged in Nairobi.
"We have settled on Kasarani to host the derby on July 22. We will provide enough security and are urging fans from both teams to turn out in large numbers," Oguda told Goal.
Gor Mahia are currently top of the table with 49 points while Ingwe are four places and 15 points behind the leaders.

DCP LETT 9890.xml
From E. J. Johnston 16 March 1875
Having gathered from notices and articles in several periodicals, that you were engaged upon the investigation of insect-capturing plants, I am reminded of a very curious case which came within my own knowledge many years ago.1 My observations should long ago have been anticipated; but, so far as I can find, no account of the matter has hitherto been published. I therefore proceed to place the facts before you; my object in so doing being to have the whole matter thoroughly examined into and elucidated.
The plant I alluded to is the Araujia sericofera of Brotero, Trans. Linn. Soc. xii.–xiii.—1818. p. 62.2 In the north of Portugal, where I was residing at the time I refer to, (viz., the summer of 1856) this plant grows very well in the open air, and produces seeds in abundance. The flowers have a rather heavy, sweetish scent, and are frequently visited by butterflies and moths, which are attracted by the melliferous poses of the corolla. In passing by the plant, it struck me that the insects remained rather longer than usual upon particular flowers, and that they did not fly away when I came nearer. Upon this, looking more closely, I found that they were caught by their trunks3 between the two horns of the stigma, which, diverging in the middle, meet again near their apices, and then turn back, so as to form a figure something like a lyre. On separating these horns a little, they show their elasticity by springing back to their original position of contact, as soon as released, with a slight but distinctly audible snap.
I found cabbage butterflies, hawk moths, and sometimes the Gamma moth,4 caught in the above mentioned way, and vainly fluttering or struggling to break loose. I recollect on one occasion having plucked a flower in which a hawk moth was caught, and having carried it away and shown it to some relatives with its captive caught by the trunk, but suspended in the air (above the flower I held) by the vibration of the wings.
How the insects were caught, is the interesting question, to which, not having been able to pursue the matter otherwise than imperfectly, I cannot give a definitive answer. My conjecture is, that the insects, after alighting on the flower and extracting the honey from the four nearest pores, passed their trunks through the opening between the two stigmatic horns, in order to reach the fifth pore without the trouble of going round; and that in withdrawing their trunks obliquely upwards, they became caught like a wedge in a tree.
Knapp, in his "Journal of a Naturalist", says that the Apocynum androsæmifolium catches flies by their trunks.5 According to his illustrative plates, the two stigmas, (or two divisions of one stigma), diverge at a considerable angle, and close upon the trunk of the insect when it gets between them. But no such movement was detected in the Araujia sericofera. The divisions of the stigma were never found apart, but always closely pressed together. (I ought to add that some of the flowers had very large stigmas, while in others they were very small. Possibly the latter were abortive.) However, as no dead insects were found on the flowers, it would seem that the stigmas after a time lose their elasticity. This of course is merely conjecture. The case would appear to be different with the Apocynum androsæmifolium, which is described by Knapp as not relaxing its hold upon its insect captives until they are dead from sheer exhaustion.
I have mentioned the case of this Apocynum, because it belongs to the same natural order as the Araujia;6 and because, in spite of my negative results, their botanical affinity leads me to suspect that there may be something common to these two plants in their mechanism of capture.
Brotero's figure does not exactly correspond with the plant I saw, as it is taken from a branch in which none of the flowers were more than half expanded.7 The leaves of my plant were mostly long, and almost triangular, but sometimes they were heart-shaped at the base, as in his figure.
I suppose, though it did not occur to me at the time, that the detention of the insects would in some way or other contribute to the fertilization of the flowers.
In this country the Araujia sericofera would doubtless require a hothouse or conservatory. That would in a great measure prevent the visits of Lepidoptera. But if grown in a pot or box, and placed in the open air when in flower, the sight of the captive and struggling insects would certainly attract attention. Should you feel disposed to examine into this matter, my friends in Portugal will, I am sure, gladly co-operate with me in rendering any assistance in their power. I apprehend, however, that there would be no difficulty in procuring living specimens.
A rough sketch which I made bears the date of August, 1856; so that the season of flowering would allow ample time for preparation. The plant I saw flourished without cultivation, being merely planted at the foot of a wall with a western aspect, and, after a little preliminary training, left to attach itself to other plants that grew out of the stones above it.
I am, Sir, | Your obedient servant, | Edwin J. Johnston Jr.
Charles Darwin Esq.
My address is—
14 Wycliffe Grove, | Lavender Hill, | Wandsworth Road | S.W.
16th March 1875.
CD annotations
Top of letter: 'Plant which catches moths like Apocynum' blue crayon
Although CD had not yet published any of his research on insectivorous plants, references to his ongoing work had appeared in science journals. See, for example, Hooker 1874b and Burdon Sanderson 1874a.
Félix de Avellar Brotero had first described Araujia sericofera in a paper read on 7 November 1815 (Brotero 1815); in the published paper in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London 12 (1817–18): 62–70, the spelling of the species epithet was given incorrectly. The accepted name is Araujia sericifera (common moth-vine or cruel plant; for more on the synonymy of this species, see Forster and Bruyns 1992).
Johnston uses the word 'trunk' to refer to the proboscis of the insects.
The cabbage white butterfly is Pieris brassicae; the gamma moth, now more commonly known as the silver Y, is Autographa gamma. Hawk moths belong to the family Sphingidae.
John Leonard Knapp described the destructive powers of Apocynum androsaemifolium (fly-trap dogbane) in [Knapp] 1829, pp. 81–2, and figured its capture mechanism in plate I, fig. 5.

I've recently made some goofy Doctor Who–inspired photo-manipulations and mash-ups for my Christopher Jones Comic Art Facebook page. If you don't follow my page and haven't seen them there (and why DON'T you follow that page? Give me a "like" for Pete's sake!), I thought I'd post a few of them here.
This was the first one, inspired by a gag in Asylum of the Daleks, the Doctor Who Series 7 opener. I've always loved Vincent Price as Egghead on the Adam West Batman series, and when the thought popped into my head, this seemed too fun not to visualize. And yes, that's the Batman credits font I used in the piece.
Then I went kind of nuts and for no good reason did a photo manipulation of Betty White as the Third Doctor. There's no real connection there, other than possibly the hair.
While I was looking for a good Betty White photo to use for that last one, I found a photo of her underlit, which inspired me to also work her into one of the Three Doctors publicity photos.
I also slapped the following phrase on a found, otherwise unaltered image of Doctor Who writer/producer Steven Moffat on the set of Time Crash, the 10th Doctor/5th Doctor crossover that was done for charity. Because as often as the TV show reminds us that Rule #1 is "The Doctor lies," the real Rule #1 would seem to be that Moffat lies about his plans for the show!
And finally, the second new Doctor Who episode of the season is titled Dinosaurs on a Spaceship, the title of course referencing the cult Samuel L. Jackson movie Snakes on a Plane, which inspired me to create this, which is probably my favorite of these photo-manipulations to date!
So the recent flap over a possible Doctor Who feature film seems to be a disconnect between the BBC's Film Division and it's Cardiff-based Television Division, and is being fought in public by wanna-be Who director David Yates (Harry Potter) and current Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat (Doctor Who, Sherlock). In short, David Yates wants to "revamp" Doctor Who, making it a big film franchise with big-name actors and a recast Doctor. Steven Moffatt says any Doctor Who feature film would be made in cooperation with the production team of the TV show and the current television Doctor. This got me thinking about whether *any* Doctor Who film would get me that excited.
Peter Cushing as "Doctor Who"
We've heard talk about a Doctor Who feature film for years. There have been two of them, made in the 1960's starring Peter Cushing as the Doctor and the films were made at the height of Dalekmania and are direct adaptations of the first two Dalek stories from the TV show. Peter Cushing is marvelous as the Doctor, but the movies make odd changes to the relatively simple premise of the show that hadn't yet grown into the massively complex mythology it is today. The Doctor is actually named "Doctor Who", and is an earth-born scientist who built a time machine in his back yard that looks like a police box for no particular reason. These films could serve as a lesson in the pitfalls of a Doctor Who a feature film out of continuity with the TV series.
Tom Baker and Ian Marter tried to get a Doctor Who feature film made in the 1970s but it never happened. And there have been countless rumors and genuine attempts at a feature film since then. (You can read about many of these attempts in the book The Nth Doctor.) Most of these were in the time before the 2005 relaunch of the show, when Doctor Who was either a television series of very (ahem) *modest* production values, or was off the air entirely. The thought of seeing Doctor Who return and on a big budget seemed very exciting, but I was always worried that such a production would lose the quirky, whimsical tone of the show. Well in 2005, thanks to Russell T. Davies and company, Doctor Who did return on a big budget, but it was on television. We got 13 new adventures of The Doctor per year (plus a Christmas special), with production values surprisingly lavish for television, shockingly lavish for British television! And the sometimes-dramatic, somtimes-silly, always-clever tone of the show had evolved into something faster and snappier for the 21st century, but it was most certainly intact!
So what do we need a feature film for? Sure the scale could be made grander still, with even more action and bigger stars. But does Doctor Who need that? This is a show that has always been more about great characters, clever stories and witty dialog than epic action. Why do a featrue film given what we're getting on television?
Well I figured it out. I know what I want in a Doctor Who feature film that would deliver an adventure the TV show could never give us, and with all due respect to Mr. Yates he's not the one who can deliver it.
Let Pixar make it. Can you imagine a Doctor Who feature film with the strength of story and character, the sense of design and the action of The Incredibles? Or Monsters, Inc.? I realize that a partnership between the BBC and Disney/Pixar for such a film is unlikely to the point of absurdity, but most of these rumored Doctor Who films weren't ever going to happen. Let me at least fantasize about the one I'd want to see!
Oh, and letting Steven Moffat help with the script probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

Depending on the circumstances, you may see Alissa Klug decked out in Mexican Day of the Dead face paint, performing reggae music or playing solo with the aid of a loop pedal. Klug is a musically busy woman, to say the least.
"It's really kind of eerie, a lot of it," Klug said. In this band she plays the cajon, a type of box drum. "Very ambient, it's very experimental. We also tend to be very costumey, we kind of go with the feel of what we're singing about. So we often paint ourselves with Day of the Dead makeup." Google the band and you'll see how eerie they can get.
It's already obvious that Klug has had a lot of musical influences, and her solo project Alissa Vox Raw is a way to play with them.
Alissa Vox Raw as an act has existed for about two years, but the inspiration for looping came at a much younger age. "Whatever capacity I was listening to something, I always loved to harmonize on it, even if there were no harmonies in the song," Klug said. Klug got her first taste of looping when a friend of hers asked her to do backup vocals for a show he was doing. He had a loop pedal for his guitar, and they soon began playing around with Klug's looped vocals.
"Before I knew it, it was like a whole choir of my voice," Klug said. She then began to play around with all kinds of software and hardware at home to see what worked best for her, and in the end she decided on hardware (a loop pedal) as opposed to software (carrying around a computer). "I wanted it to be more organic," she said.
In the future, Klug hopes to tour outside of Canada, specifically to the UK and other parts of Europe. Having been in Toronto for a while now, perhaps she is once again longing for the nomadic lifestyle she once lived.

Hackers attack Israeli govt websites
(Supplied)
Jerusalem - More than 44 million hacking attempts have been made on Israeli government web sites since Wednesday when Israel began its Gaza air strikes, the government said on Sunday.
Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said just one hacking attempt was successful on a site he did not want to name, but it was up and running after 10 minutes of downtime.
Typically, there are a few hundred hacking attempts a day on Israeli sites, the ministry said.
Attempts on defence-related sites have been the highest, while 10 million attempts have been made on the site of Israel's president, 7 million on the Foreign Ministry and 3 million on the site of the prime minister.
A ministry spokesperson said while the attacks have come from around the world, most have been from Israel and the Palestinian territories.
"The ministry's computer division will continue to block the millions of cyber attacks," Steinitz said.
"We are enjoying the fruits of our investment in recent years in developing computerised defence systems."
Steinitz has instructed his ministry to operate in emergency mode to counter attempts to undermine government sites.
Both sides in the Gaza conflict, but particularly Israel, are embracing the social media as one of their tools of warfare.
The Israeli Defence Force has established a presence on nearly every platform available while Palestinian militants are active on Twitter.
"The war is taking place on three fronts. The first is physical, the second is on the world of social networks and the third is cyber," said Carmela Avner, Israel's chief information officer.
US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta said last month that cyberspace was the battlefield of the future, with attackers already going after banks and other financial systems.
US banks have been under sustained attack by suspected Iranian hackers thought to be responding to economic sanctions aimed at forcing Tehran to negotiate over its nuclear programme.

Essentiel agrees UK distributor deal
Belgian brand Essentiel has recruited a UK agent for the first time in five years after signing a deal with fashion agency Lucy Wernick.
The womenswear brand, which is headquartered in Antwerp, already has about seven UK accounts, including department store Fenwick, but has not been sold via a UK distributor since it left agent Palladio in 2007.
According to agency director Lucy Wernick, Essentiel has undergone significant changes since then, resulting in a more contemporary look.
"I see the brand sitting in contemporary womenswear floors in department stores and premium womenswear indies alongside the likes of Paul & Joe Sister and Helmut Lang," she said.
Wernick hopes to attract 40 stockists for autumn 13 and will target premium indies such as Diverse in Islington, north London, and The Square in Bath, as well as luxury department store Harvey Nichols.
There are 140 styles in the autumn 13 collection. Wholesale prices range from £38 for a T-shirt up to £200 for a coat.

What does the line "The magi brought valuable gifts, but that was not among them." mean in The Gifts Of The Magi?
What was not among whom? What did O. Henry want us to know from this line?
The author says this line after Jim hugs Della out of affection after seeing the magnitude of her sacrifice (her hair, which she parts with) for him.
The paragraph is:
Out of his trance Jim seemed quickly to wake. He enfolded his Della. For ten seconds let us regard with discreet scrutiny some inconsequential object in the other direction. Eight dollars a week or a million a year - what is the difference? A mathematician or a wit would give you the wrong answer. The magi brought valuable gifts, but that was not among them. This dark assertion will be illuminated later on.
I can't interpret this one.

"The magi brought valuable gifts, but th[is particular one] was not among the[ gifts]." – Gallifreyan♦ Jul 22 '17 at 8:19
That's an interesting question. From context said gift seems to be the ability to judge the value of things, possibly implying that the couple were unwise by trading their treasures. But on the other hand, in the end of the story Del and Jim are "the wisest", same as the magi. Maybe it means that they were not given that ability, but acquired it after this story. – Gallifreyan♦ Jul 22 '17 at 8:52
@Gallifreyan Thanks for editing the raw question. I'm a horrible rookie. If we use a little grammar, "that was not among them". If Porter had referred to Del and Jim it would have been "that was not between them" (for referring to 2 people). Among was used to refer to the magi, the 3 wise men. I hope i'm not complicating it further. – cinebird Jul 22 '17 at 16:29
That refers to the "answer" alluded to in the previous sentence. When you have a million dollars, you don't appreciate the things you already have. In the case of their gifts, it really is the thought that counts, because they've rendered each other's gifts useless.
Them refers to the titular gifts, specifically, gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Henry may be implying that the Christ child didn't need the gift of wisdom.
Ralph CrownRalph Crown
That might be possible. If we use the entire para and its position in the story, it occurs exactly before either Jim or Del have revealed their presents. A similar para is the concluding para occuring after they reveal their gifts. – cinebird Jul 23 '17 at 10:48
I differ in my perception here.
The Magi brought gifts that are considered wise, the reason is the gold brought as gift symbolises 'influence' which infant Jesus was to acquire afterwards as a mentor for his disciples his followers and his menfolk; frankincense symbolises Him as a holy spirit and myrrh his early demise as myrrh is a perfume used preferably over dead bodies.
The sentence means those gifts they brought were symbols but what they symbolise have nothing to do with those Magi. They were not so influential as Jesus was to become later on; not so sacred as Jesus who was a holy spirit and they were not to meet their demise at so early an age as Jesus did.
'That' means the what those gifts represented and 'them' means 'the Magi'.
If I am wrong, I may be corrected.
Baskaran SoundararajanBaskaran Soundararajan
You are aptly correct in your interpretation of why the wise gifts were meant to be. But I asked why ''That was not among Them.'' – cinebird Aug 31 '17 at 14:58
As I see it, the gift that the Magi didn't bring was sacrifice (sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house), which doesn't require money (Eight dollars a week or a million a year - what is the difference?) and which Jesus didn't need, because he had already decided to be born to sacrifice himself for us.

RISD CE is a fun and interesting partner school, and we look forward to continually building upon our relationship," said Sarah Davies, senior marketing coordinator at MindMax.


The current era is the technology era. Technology has brought the world to our hands. If we want to do something we can do this easily. And it can do this just sitting at our home. For example, If we want to buy something such as cake, bread, meat, pizza, and to get any kinds of service only clicking the phone or other media which is used for online searching. So we say it frankly that technology gave us a good advantage. But unfortunately to say something that there are many kinds of people who are attacked by hacker anyhow. But if you become careful, you will not be affected by this problem. However today I would like to say about social media. Especially facebook media.
We know about the Facebook media. There is a little bit person who doesn't know about the Facebook media. Because Facebook is greater than any other social media. It's an American social media but it's range spread all over the world. Almost 232 crores people using Facebook monthly. The chief executor and the founder of Facebook are Mark Zuckerberg.
He founded Facebook on February 4, 2004. He is a software engineer. However, I would not like to discuss his full description now. Now I will say you a short description of the outage of facebook.
The international time around 11 am on March 13, 2019, some service was completely inaccessible. Besides of Facebook other services were inaccessible such as messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram, etc. Even I have also faced this problem. Who were using Facebook they claim that they can't like, comment their friend post or can't block each other. Even also faced this problem when I was using messenger. BBC said that Facebook did not face earlier such a big problem. However, Facebook had faced a big problem in 2008 then facebook user was very low that was only 15 crores but at present facebook active user almost 232 crores monthly. It is such a huge amount in social media. Facebook is not new suddenly shutting down their service, we had seen on 2015 facebook had stopped almost 50 minutes. And also had stopped for update data on 2010. Various kinds of the person from different kinds of the country claim that they can't enter their Facebook app. Especially it looks like the outage in New England, Texas, Seattle, Washington, Latin America, UK, Peru, Canada, Argentina, Bangladesh as well as more country faced this problem. And Facebook could not give full service for broadcast unit also.
We had heard earlier that facebook keep our personal information and uses it on the 2016 election. And it caused a very good impact on the election. So we should not give our secret information on social media. However, I have wanted to give you a short description of it. And I have given some description of Facebook, Facebook app and Facebook outage.
If we become careful we will be benefited. Thank you for visiting my site. If you want to get technology related information you will visit my site.

Trading update and update on Group strategy
LOOKERS plc ("Lookers" or the "Group")
Lookers, one of the leading UK motor retail and aftersales service groups, today announces a trading update for the financial year to 31 December 2021 ("the Period"), which includes the following:
expectation of record underlying profit before tax ahead of company compiled market consensus of £82m;
strong balance sheet, with net cash* of approximately £8.0m as at 31 December 2021 (2020: net debt £40.7m) and property with a book value of £303.9m (equivalent to 77.8p per share) as at 30 June 2021; and
intention to continue to invest in the business and restore dividends alongside the full year 2021 results.
In October 2021, the Board began a comprehensive review of the Group, its strategic growth opportunities and capital allocation framework. This review is designed to build on the Group's strong market position, excellent brand partner relationships and valuable property estate. It will address a number of long-term market trends including changing consumer behaviour, the impact of electric vehicles ("EV"), the competitive landscape, developing relationships with OEMs, changing technology and the regulatory environment in which the Group operates.
The review is well underway and our initial conclusions (in further detail below), provide a framework to maximise the revenue and profit opportunities for the Group and explore new initiates to deliver our aspiration to become 'The UK's leading integrated automotive retail and services group', focussing on the following:
Operational Optimisation
Investment in Technology and Digitisation
Expanding OEM Relationships
Increasing Used Vehicle Penetration
Developing Aftersales Revenue Streams
Leveraging Corporate Leasing and Fleet Capabilities
We will provide an update on strategy alongside our full year 2021 results which will be published on 13 April 2022.
Mark Raban, Chief Executive Officer said:
"2021 was an exceptional year for Lookers and we now expect to beat our previous estimates with record profit for the year. This is a great achievement by the whole team in a year which brought many external challenges, including Covid and vehicle shortages, demonstrating the strength of our proposition. With net cash at the year end, we have a strong balance sheet and good capacity to invest in future growth opportunities.
There are many structural changes which are creating opportunities in our market including evolving consumer behaviour, electrification, and changing relationships with our brand partners. The Board and Executive have been refreshed and we are well progressed with a major review both to improve our operational performance and to future proof our revenue streams through a number of strategic growth opportunities. We have outlined our main areas of focus in our update today and are excited about our ambition and aspiration to become The UK's Leading Integrated Automotive Retail and Services Group."
Quarter 4 Trading Update
Trading in Q4 remained strong and above the Board's expectations, principally driven by excellent new and used vehicle margins, a continued focus on tight cost control and like-for-like growth in aftersales revenues. Throughout Q4, the ongoing global shortage of semi-conductors continued to place pressure on the supply of new and used vehicles. In Q4 like-for-like new retail unit sales increased by approximately 2.0% and used unit sales were down by approximately 14.2%. Aftersales revenues remained robust and on a like-for-like basis were approximately 7.1% ahead of last year.
Covid-19 Grants
As previously announced the Board has fully repaid £4.1m of Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ("CJRS") receipts relating to 2021. Given the strong full year performance and the Group's ongoing corporate responsibility agenda, in addition, the Board has now voluntarily undertaken to repay in full £1.9m of non-essential retail sector Covid-19 grants. The cash repayments will be made in 2022.
The Board retains its focus on cash management and liquidity. At 31 December 2021, the Group had a net cash* balance of approximately £8.0m, compared to a net debt position of £40.7m for the year ending 31 December 2020.
Capital Allocation Framework
In March 2020, at the time of the first Covid-19 lockdown, the Board announced a number of cash management initiatives including the suspension of dividends. Given the financial position of the Group and the repayment of all CJRS receipts and Covid-19 grants relating to 2021, the Board believes that there should be a good balance across investing in the business and shareholder distributions, while maintaining an appropriate capital structure. Subject to no material change in the trading environment, the Board intends to recommend a dividend when it publishes its 2021 financial statements.
Strategic Growth Opportunities
It is clear that consumer behaviours have changed significantly and permanently during the Covid-19 global pandemic and in its review, the Board has considered these changes alongside a wide range of external market trends. Whilst some customers want a pure online experience, the vast majority expect a hybrid omni-channel proposition which puts them in control and importantly requires supporting physical infrastructure. The Board has identified its six strategic growth pillars as follows:
Operational Optimisation: The cornerstone of the Group's future strategy remains the focus on organically driving and improving the Group's existing core operations. Following an extensive review and benchmarking of performance the Board considers that there remains significant latent opportunity to simplify and harmonise the Group's operational processes, systems and structures to improve financial performance in several key areas. Changes in these areas have commenced and the Group expects to see further operational efficiencies delivered in 2022.
Investments in Technology and Digitisation: The implementation and improvement of new and existing technology is fundamental to supporting the Board's operational optimisation agenda. The Group will continue to invest in technology to further improve the customer experience and management of customer relationships, reducing the cost to serve and driving further working capital benefits. The Group will continue to harmonise and standardise its Dealer Management Systems in 2022, upon which it can build improved data analytics and a new sales platform.
Expanding OEM Relationships: Subject to a disciplined capital allocation policy, the Group remains committed to and focussed on growing its OEM relationships. The Group has an appetite to expand representation with existing and new brand partners, and where our OEM partners chose to adopt an agency model we will work constructively with them to implement this. In 2021 the Group entered a new and expanding agency relationship with Polestar. The Board has identified investment in new brand partners as a key part of the Group's strategy.
Increasing Used Vehicle Penetration: The Board continues to believe that the scaled used vehicle market presents the Group with a significant opportunity, as evidenced by several recent new entrants to the market. Building on the Group's existing multi-franchise standalone used car infrastructure, the Group will implement several initiatives to protect and expand the Group's penetration into the market in 2022 and beyond.
Developing Aftersales Revenue Streams: As EV adoption continues to accelerate the Group will develop and implement new products and services to protect and increase penetration and drive revenue growth in the important and valuable aftermarket. This will encompass incremental opportunities in the growing cosmetic repair market.
Leveraging Corporate Leasing and Fleet Capabilities: Despite recent supply constraints, the Board considers the corporate leasing sector to be an important and complementary market for the Group to operate within providing stable, predictable revenue streams, as well as new subscription-based product opportunities. The Group will consolidate and grow its existing operations in 2022 as well as introducing new products and services for its corporate customers.
The Group has had an exceptional year in 2021 and is starting 2022 with an excellent new car order bank. However, given ongoing global supply chain disruptions, uncertainty as to the availability of new vehicles and the sustainability of used car margins at current levels, the Board believes it is right to remain cautious.
The Board is also conscious of general inflationary pressures and increased utilities costs, and is managing these risks through a continued focus on working capital management and tight cost control.

At our school, literacy is taught creatively and inspires our children to become lifelong readers and writers. We have five literacy lessons a week alongside guided reading, spelling, grammar and handwriting. The teaching of reading and writing is also cross-curricular and can be found in all subjects.
Engaging books are used as a premise for the teaching of literacy through a variety of different genres. Through this, children's skills are developed as they progress through the National Curriculum. 'Talk for Writing' games are used throughout lessons, helping to ensure all children enjoy their learning and that there are plenty of speaking and listening opportunities to develop vocabulary and ideas. Every class has a 'magpie' wall where exciting new vocabulary is displayed and ready to be plucked by eager learners. Each class has a grammar focus weekly where the skills taught are embedded, not only in dedicated literacy lessons, but applied and used within cross curricular topics. Children are taught the purpose of their writing so that they are able to relate it to a real-life context, which manifests itself into a finished product for a reader.
Each child has their own summative writing assessment book, whereby writing samples are written each half term, assessed and used for planning progression. Regular formative assessment takes place, as evident in children's books. As we ensure there are plentiful reading opportunities in the school day, reading is assessed daily, alongside summative assessment papers at the end of the term. We use Herts for Learning Assessment Tools as a basis for assessing children's learning. Additionally, we carry out summative grammar, punctuation and spelling assessment half termly which is used to inform planning and ensure children progress.
