Jake the Fake Keeps it Real
by Craig Robinson, Adam Mansbach, Keith Knight (Illustrator)Craig Robinson
Paperback(Reprint)
For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Big Nate comes the first book in a side-splitting illustrated series from comedian and film star Craig Robinson, #1 New York Times bestselling author Adam Mansbach, and NAACP History Maker recipient and cartoonist Keith Knight.
Jake can barely play an instrument, not even a kazoo. And his art? It's better suited for Pictionary than Picasso. Which is a real problem because Jake just faked his way into the Music and Art Academy for the gifted and talented (and Jake is pretty sure he is neither). More jokester than composer, Jake will have to think of something quick before the last laugh is on him.
Featuring more than 160 illustrations, Jake the Fake is sure to bring the laughs with his hilarious high jinks!

A Word About Visual Astrology
By Bernadette Brady
In January 2005 Darrelyn Gunzburg and I started an online free astrological newsletter dedicated to visual astrology. The term itself I coined as I wanted a simple almost 'non-denominational' title for this new or rather very old approach to astrology. Astrologers lost the full sky when the Greeks domesticated astrology and proceeded to bring order and logic to the Babylonian craft of sky watching. To achieve this order the Greeks created the horoscope as a way of mapping and standardizing the sky. This Greek map - the horoscope - became so successful that it has become the territory itself. The horoscope moved beyond a simple representation of the sky and replaced the 'sky' completely. For astrologers, for the last several thousand years, have stopped looking at the actual sky and work instead with this most useful map. In this way the map used by astrologers became a personalized moment of time, the moment of one's birth. Thus it is not a A to Z map of the sky; it is instead a mixture of sky, images, archetypes, memories, and family history which all helped the individual to identify themselves within their life and their communities. The horoscope is, in fact, a highly personal view of the heavens.
Thus the three dimensional sky - the more 'native' version of astrology - was in the year 2005 an uncharted domain in contemporary astrology. The source 'books' were the shattered clay tablets of Mesopotamia from around the period c. 650 BCE and in that first newsletter I called for astrologers to have the strength to leave the safety of the neat, mathematical ecliptic and start to consider, as our ancestors had, the whole night sky. The Visual Astrology Newsletter was published monthly and freely distributed online from January 2005 to April 2012, all in all producing 85 issues, all of which still remain free to access (at www.zyntara.com). There are many examples that I could share from the newsletter which slowly revealed, issue by issue an astrology which was written in the language of personal sky narratives. Visual astrology also proved to be anastrological mundane tool of great simplicity and clarity. A simple example (reported in the Feb 2008 edition) was the Pluto/Saturn conjunction sitting on the club of Orion at the start of the Great War in 1914. This difficult conjunction (see Fig.1 below) occurred in the zone of combat in the heavens where Orion takes on the Babylonian great Cosmic Bull who, according to myths, caused chaos when it descended to earth as it instigated new world orders. The symbolism is self-evident.
Fig 1 The visual astrology for the outbreak of WWI showing the difficult Saturn-Pluto conjunction sitting along the club of the warrior Orion, as he engaged in battle with the great Cosmic Bull.
Another example, was the discovery of the stunningly simple relationship between a bright Venus (morning star or evening star) and the US presidential elections. Venus is the only feminine heavenly body for the Babylonians and when she shone her light on Saturn (the king),then the king's rule was assured. This simple rule when applied to the US elections for Nov 2008, predicted that whoever won the November 2008 elections (and it also strongly indicated that would be Obama) then they would also win the November 2012 elections and indeed the 'king's house' would hold onto this reign in the November 2016 elections (see Fig.2 below).
Fig 2.The visual astrology for the forthcoming US Presidential elections, 8 November 2016. Venus is a bright evening star and shines her light on Saturn. According to Mesopotamian texts, this foretells of victory to the king or the king's house. Thus Obama's house will win the presidency in 2016, which implies a democratic victory.
From this simple method discussed in September 2008, the future elections of 2008, 2012, and 2016 could be considered. But also this simple tool reveals that the king will 'lose' his throne in the Nov 2020 elections and hence one can summarise that the Republicans regain the White House in 2020. Visual astrology does not reduce the importance of the complex role of the horoscope but it does provide beautifully simple visuals which aid our astrological understanding of events and of the future. In essence, visual astrology allows the whole sky to be returned to our astrology.

Home/Health/New Genetic Score Might Help Predict Risk of Barrett's Esophagus
New Genetic Score Might Help Predict Risk of Barrett's Esophagus
root April 22, 2019
Reagans Would Be Assassin Seeks Unconditional Release
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A new genetic risk score (GRS) might help predict the risk of Barrett's esophagus independently of most other risk factors, but the results are not conclusive, according to new research.
"We were able to provide further support for a genetic predisposition for this pre-cancerous condition that may operate independently of the typical risk factors one considers for Barrett's esophagus," Dr. Brian C. Jacobson from Boston University Medical Center told Reuters Health by email.
Several genetic variants appear to confer an increased risk for both Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma, as do a number of common, modifiable factors, including BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption and heartburn duration.
Dr. Jacobson and colleagues used data from 401 incident Barrett's esophagus cases and 436 age-matched controls from the Nurses' Health Study I and II and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study to examine the effects and the potential effect modification between proposed Barrett's esophagus genetic loci and established environmental risk factors.
Current smoking, alcohol consumption and heartburn duration all showed positive associations with the risk of Barrett's esophagus.
Of the 46 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) investigated, none was significantly associated with Barrett's esophagus risk after correction for multiple testing.
A total of three of these SNPs were included in the main GRS (GRSb), but an additional GRS (GRSc) included all 46 SNPs.
In the unweighted GRSb (i.e., each SNP given equal weight), each one-allele increase was associated with a 20% increase in the risk of Barrett's esophagus, although there was only borderline significance (P=0.057).
Using a GRSb with the three SNPs weighted according to their beta coefficients in earlier studies, each increased unit of the score was associated with 3.13-fold increased risk of Barrett's esophagus, but again the result fell just short of statistical significance.
There was no association between the GRSc and the risk of Barrett's esophagus, the researchers report in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, April 4.
Smoking, alcohol consumption and heartburn duration did not interact with the individual SNPs, but there was a significant multiplicative interaction between smoking and the weighted GRSb.
"These pilot results suggest that larger studies in this area are warranted," the researchers conclude.
"In general, any time a genetic predisposition is found for a chronic condition, it provides us with new opportunities for understanding the pathophysiology behind that condition," Dr. Jacobson said. "In other words, we get one step closer to learning why the body changes in a way that makes it more susceptible to cancer. This, in turn, opens up opportunities to either prevent the condition in the first place, or to perhaps slow or stop its progression to cancer."

Weight Loss Success Stories
Kelly Clarkson weight loss
by galany4 on May 31, 2018
Kelly Clarkson is a singer and actress from America, who managed to become a star of world size. Popular in her native country and beyond her, the girl became due to participation in the television project "American Idol". For the song from the first album she was awarded a "Grammy". The songs in her performance sound on various radio stations of the world. The future star was born in American Fort Worth on April 24, 1982. Her mother was a teacher, and her father was an engineer. Kelly is the third child in the family. Her parents divorced when she was very young. Kelly stayed with her mother; she lived with her in Burleson. In this town, the future celebrity received primary education. In childhood the girl dreamed of becoming a marine biologist, but was fond of singing. One day, a song in her performance was heard by a schoolteacher and he immediately suggested Kelly to sing in the school choir.
This participant of American Idol 2002 admired the fans with a miniature figure, but turned into a girl with magnificent forms. She was not upset because of the metamorphosis that took place, and she threw all her strength into the fight against public ideas about the ideal weight. Many famous personalities have extra kilos, but this does not make them less popular. Kelly Clarkson with lush forms said that she feels happy and will not go on about the audience. A slender body is an imposed opinion dictated by fashion companies. It is easier for them to create models of clothing for a standard slim figure than to do it for lush women. Therefore, a slender body became the key to success and beauty. Full women can also be beautiful, seductive and attractive. Kelly is one of them; her lush forms have become a thing of pride and self-confidence, as many of her fans respect her choice.
This popular singer from Great Britain returned to the stage with a new album. But the fans were horrified at the sight of the performer, and colleagues began to tease her because of the excess weight. "Oh, my God, what's wrong with Kelly Clarkson? Did she eat up all her backing vocalists? Fortunately, I have a widescreen screen," – wrote Cathy Hopkins to her Twitter. In response, Kelly Clarkson said she was not worried about the figure. "I have never worried about what people think about me, moreover, I am happy and I am sure of myself. I have a family, and I do not need anyone's approval." Before the wedding and before the birth of the child, Kelly was slender, but the birth was difficult and this caused a failure in her body.
Singer Kelly Clarkson, like her colleague Adele, was constantly attacked because of her excess weight. However, she changed her lush forms and lost more than 10 kilograms. Kelly Clarkson weight loss in 2008 and she is happy to share her secrets of fighting overweight: "Cardio, a run and a set of exercises using your own body weight." Thanks to her new sporting regime and eating restrictions, of course, Clarkson managed to lose more than 10 kilograms, but she never tires of repeating that she primarily cares about her health and does not seek to be like a skinny model: "I want my fans to know: the main thing is to be healthy and happy. I have no desire to be super slim girl." The singer dropped more than 10 kilograms and now boldly demonstrates the updated of her figure. For example, at the Much Music Video Awards in Toronto, Kelly appeared in a seductive, tight dress, emphasizing her new graceful forms.
She does not say directly what helped her to take this serious step but her fans are very pleased with this transformation of their idol. She was able to lose weight and decided to pay serious attention to her health. In one interview, Kelly reported that all her childbirth was very difficult and she did not want to have children any more.

The distribution of data refers to characteristics used in statistics, such as kurtosis and skewness, which provide detail on the shape of a probability distribution. In statistics and probability, the concept of data being normally distributed is critical to understand and is inextricably linked to the central limit theorem. Essentially, the central limit theorem states that whenever the sample size of a random population is large and the standard deviation and variance of that population is defined, a distribution function can be attached to that population which has a tendency for normality (1). Under the normal distribution, the data points of a random population will always converge at an average value, thus these values will fall within the normal distribution range. Furthermore, as long as the population which is being considered is normal, a sample distribution of the mean will show normality even if the sample size evaluated is small (1).
Considering that in statistics the distribution of data should follow a pattern of normality, being able to test whether a population or a set of data is in fact normally distributed is critical. This is where these characteristics which measure the distribution of data fit in. For example, testing the skewness of a data set is a common method for testing normality. Histograms are often constructed to test whether or not a data set is skewed. If the bars of a histogram display the bell-shaped curve, this illustrates that the data is normally distributed.
Analyzing the distribution of data is integral to the study of statistics since much of this field of study is based on this concept of normality. Therefore, understanding the characteristics which can test for normality is important to being able to interpret data properly and make accurate conclusions.
Kurtosis is a characteristic used in probability to measure the peakedness of a probability distribution.
Is a characteristic associated with probability distributions, which measures a distribution's degree of asymmetry.
In statistics, variance is measured to calculate the total spread of the values in a data set.

I have been asked if there are any Klock's who live in New York City by several of my family and friends. I have contacted two, Donald Klock and Michelle Klock.
I asked them if they were OK and expressed our concern for them and for all the people of the City of New York. I asked if I could interview them for this Newsletter. Both Donald and Michelle have interesting lives in New York City and Donald has a story I will share with you next month. (Note: Donald never sent me the information for his article and I have since lost track of him. If you see this article, Donald, please e-mail me.) Donald and Michelle have never met but do know of each other. Donald told me he heard about the Klock Family Reunion through a friend of Michelle's but had never met her himself.
Michelle had also told me in her e-mails that she felt very confident with the people that handled the disaster relief efforts. She also expressed that the people of the City of New York were grateful to everyone who has helped in this disaster.

George Grantison Klock ( Isaac, Christian, John, John Jr., Johannes, Hendrick ) was born on Feb. 14, 1862 in New York. He was the forth born child of Isaac Klock and Lucy Hartwick. Grant, as he liked to be called, moved to Michigan when he was young. The family settled in the thumb area of Michigan in Tuscola County.
Grant had been married four times. Nothing is known about his first marriage. His second was to Myrtle Onderkirk in 1888. This was Myrtle's second marriage as well. Myrtle's parents were F.P. Nichols and Lynda Hegger. Grant's third marriage was to Mary Dupries . Mary was the daughter of John Dupries and Mary Winters. They were married the 25 of January in 1895. It is not known if Grant had any children as a result of his first three marriages. Then on Jan. 29, 1898 Grant married Rowena Salisbury. Rowena Salisbury was born in Kansas and her parents were Henry Salisbury and Susan Graves. Grant and Rowena had five children; Inza, Agmes, Carl, Ena, and Lorena. Grant died on April 11, 1917 in Vassar, Michigan. If anyone has any information about Grant's first marriages, please let me know. We would like to know if there were any children born in any of the first three marriages.
Hold on now, I am getting to the meat of this story and why I entitled it, "The Last Klock". Carl was the only son of Grant's ( that we know about ). Grant and Rowena had five children. Carl was born May 30, 1908 and he married Lucille Hulverson on Oct. 30, 1954. Carl and Lucille had three children, Rina, Mary, and Nancy. Today all three girls are married and have children of their own. When Carl died in 1979. The Klock name died with him. Or that is what the family thought.
When I first started researching my family tree, I put an inquiry out on Family Tree Maker, an internet web site. I got a response ( e-mail ) from Tammy Lash who lives in Oregon. Tammy is the Great Granddaughter of Grant Klock.
My Grandfather, Jacob Klock very rarely talked about his family and when he did, he would say, "I was adopted" or "I was left on a door step". My father, Carl did not know anything about his family. It was not until I was a teenager did my Grandfather tell me he had two brothers and a sister and that he had lost track of them, he did not know if they were alive or dead. He had not seen them since he was a child. He was about 80 at this time. Now, Grant and his son, Carl must have fell from the same tree. They were as tight mouthed about their family as my Grandfather was. Tammy gave me her Aunts name and telephone number. Her Aunt June DeBoise lived in Tustin, Michigan. About 15 miles from where I grew up as a child. I called June up on the telephone and we set up a day we could meet. We talked for hours and had a great time. I had brought some of my old pictures with me and she got out hers. As we talked and looked at pictures, we discovered that I had a picture of her Aunt Agnes standing next to my Grandmother. She also had a copy of the same picture. We knew then that we were somehow related.
After some research, I found the connection. Grant was my Grandfather's uncle. The story does not end here….. this is where it begins…. My family tree had grown by several hundred new cousins and Grant's family had just found out that the Klock name was alive and well. I will continue this story in another issue of the newsletter. I want to tell you about Nancy Brown and her family. I also want to share another story about finding one of my Grandfather's brothers.
Christian Klock (John Jr., John, Johannas, Hendrick) was born in New York, August 17, 1806. He married Margaret Walrath, who was the daughter of William and Margaret Walrath. Margaret was born in 1809. Christian and Margaret had three children that I know of, Nathan who was born in 1828, Isaac who was born in 1829 and Wesdey who was born in 1845.
Christian and his family moved to Michigan around 1858. (According to page 488 of the book," History of Allegan and Berry Counties, Michigan.") This comes from that book.
"In 1851, when Franklin Bliss settled on section 24, where Leonard Wilcox, now of Irving, had made a clearing of 2 acres, he had no neighbor on the north except an Indian called, " Chippewa," who owned 40 acres on section 1 and lived in a log cabin. At that time a well-traveled stage-road crossed the Bliss' farm, - the one which ran between Grand Rapids and Hastings. Farther north Slomon dark settled on section 12 in 1854, and beyond that C.I. Klock located in 1858, on section 2. Mr. Klock now lives on section 2 with John Moxon who came with him into the township. Klock's neighbors on the south were Cornelius Walrath and his sons; On the north, John Klock and Henry Smith; on the west, the Forbes family; and on the east, John Moe and a Mr Badgrow. That same spring, Simeon Lawrence setded on section 11. At that day the northeastern portion of the township was a new country for until then the land-owners had chosen to discourage settlements by holding the property out of the market. After 1858, however, the population began multiply rapidly, and die locality is now well peopled , containing, moreover, many valuable farms."
(I just love die way people used to write.) Christian Klock and his family were one of the first Klock's to relocate in Michigan from New York. He was a pioneer in Michigan. Christian Klock died May 12, 1888 and is buried in Parmalee Cemetery in Middleville, Michigan. Also buried in the same plot is his wife Margaret, his sons Nathan, and Westley. There is also an Unknown Klock and a John Klock in the same area in the Parmalee Cemetery. I have not been able to find anything about the Unknown Klock, adult, child, male or female. John Klock, I think, is another child of Christian and Margaret Klock. If you have any information who the Unknown Klock may be or if John Klock is another son of Christian and Margaret. Please let me know......... Thanks.

Posted on August 2, 2013 by Ken
Is there a connection between private prisons, charter schools, relaxed fracking laws, tougher abortion regulations and Stand Your Ground?
Yes, and it's a strong one. It's called ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council. It's a 501(C)3 "educational" organization that's been called a "dating service" linking America's largest, wealthiest corporations with state legislators. The whole idea is that, if you have enough money, it's easier to influence a couple of thousand state Senators and reps in the fifty state capitols than it is to navigate the completely stalemated, dysfunctional federal government. And since the state guys handle taxes, licensing, education, prisons and and all sorts of other sensitive matters, it's just more effective to deal directly with them.
ALEC has been around for forty years, and during most of that time it's been nearly 100% invisible in the American media. But it's been involved in some high-profile issues lately, becoming a lightning rod when it quickly distributed and guided to passage "Stand Your Ground" laws in over 20 states. So it's finally coming under some scrutiny.
ALEC's having its 40th Anniversary meeting in Chicago August 7-9, so we thought this would be a perfect time to welcome three highly knowledgeable people into the Newsroom to share ALEC's history and accomplishments.
"It's a sort of amalgam of the right-wing social agenda and corporate America's economic agenda," explained Joel Bliefuss, editor/publisher of In These Times, which wrote several landmark stories about ALEC. "And I think its ultimate aim these days is to de-fund the public sector and transfer public assets into private hands. They do it very secretly, because they pass legislation around the country through what's called "model legislation" that's reproduced in state houses around the country, particularly where Republicans are in control."
But, says Rey Lopez-Calderon, Executive Director of Common Cause/Illinois, ALEC exploits a significant loophole in tax law. ALEC's primary contact with legislators is at large, elaborate "conferences" around the country. "If ALEC was to send somebody to talk to a legislator and buy them a beer, that has to be reported. But they don't have to report it as lobbying if they send a bunch of legislators to an ALEC conference and you get somebody up there from the NRA or another organization saying – I want you to pass this bill. If you pass this bill, here's how industry's gonna be helpful..we believe that that's actually tax fraud."
Bill Moyers has produced a series of documentaries on ALEC, in which he presents video of just such presentations being made from the ALEC podium.
But Lopez-Calderon stresses that ALEC is primarily about corporate influence. "It's not all Republicans in ALEC…We have some very conservative Democrats that are members, and we have most of the same corporations that also give money to the Democrats. It is about corporatism and less about partisan politics."
One of the most important methods for asserting this influence, he claims, is getting control of campaign finance law. "Campaign finance laws, little by little, have been eviscerated," he says. "Even before the Supreme Court started tinkering with the first amendment. We've had campaign finance laws in many states that have been killed or adjusted because of model legislation by ALEC. But if you asked the voters, and we've done that in several states including solid red states like Montana – if you ask them, do you think the states have a right to regulate campaign finance, they say yes in huge majorities, like 74, 75%."
A major thrust for ALEC, according to Bliefus, has been the highly successful drive to develop for-profit prisons. "It's been greased by ALEC from the get-go. And it's an example first, of promoting the criminalization of large swaths of the American population, and taking a public resource, the prisons, and turning them into profit-making entities – which have an interest in keeping people in jail."
For-profit prisons and charter schools are two areas where ALEC has had considerable success here in Illinois, according to Bryan Echols, who founded Concerned Black Men of Metropolitan Chicago. "I am looking at ALEC's partners in education, and one is K-12," he explains. "K-12 just kicked off here in Chicago with Chicago Virtual Charter School. Interestingly, they're currently at 600 slots. They will go live around August 28. Their charters have been exended to 2016, and they're coming in under Renaissance 2010. The unions are against it because it takes away jobs. 52% of the students currently are African-American. And that's because some of those students have been pushed out of schools by zero-tolerance policies, and those are a residue of ALEC."
Echols says that ALEC-inspired school and prison policies use a "divide and conquer mentality" with respect to African American and Latino populations, often playing the interests of one against the other. He cites the locations of Illinois' prisons so far away from Chicago as an example of a way in which the law can tear families apart when an incarcerated relative is hundreds of miles away, equating that with increasingly harsh immigration policy that's hurting Latino families. His organization, he says, attempts to "go downstate and work our legislators for the benefit of both communities" by building coalitions. "The Latino Caucus is wondering, why are we voting on prison redistricting, and the Black Caucus is wondering, why are we fighting for drivers' licenses for immigrants?"
Can these organizing efforts realistically stand up to a force as powerful as ALEC? "There's money power and there's people power," he concludes.
ALEC has been around since 1973, but its spiritual ignition came later, according to Lopez-Calderon. "I really believe we ought to think of Margaret Thatcher being the creator of ALEC," he says.She's "the person who got Reagan to think this hybrid, public/corporate idea of capitalism was a good thing. I call it an abomination. It's not even capitalism. It's not free market. It's cronies and particular corporations buying the market and cornering the market for themselves. It's worse than monopoly. Its – we're gonna call this private, but everyone's getting public dollars."
And by pushing for the early adoption of charter schools in Illinois, ALEC had a profound impact here. "What they've been able to do very quietly is they've been able to completely change the face of education in Illinois, and nobody knows that they did it."

Engaging the Community in Support of Bail Reform Efforts in Los Angeles County
The Los Angeles County Probation Department is a key partner in the L.A. County Superior Court's Pretrial Risk Evaluation pilot program. As part of this initiative, the department's Pretrial Services Bureau had to revamp its operational protocols to provide varying levels of assessment and post-release services, including community-based services. Tasked with developing a community engagement strategy, FUSE Executive Fellow Shadeequa Smith helped increase the presence of pretrial services in the community, develop partnerships with community stakeholders, and improve the community's understanding of the function and programming of pretrial services. To determine needs and shared values around pretrial bail reform, Shadeequa facilitated engagement among pretrial services staff, probation leadership, community-based organizations, and hundreds of community members. Gathering feedback, she identified a range of issues that needed to be addressed, including the bureau's lack of community presence, misinformation around pretrial services, and a lack of collaboration between pretrial services and community-based organizations, and she then created a strategy for improvement. Shadeequa is continuing to develop and coordinate community outreach, which includes holding town halls and creating a consortium of advisors, while also conducting research on best practices and racial and ethnic disparities in the pretrial probation system. Her work is helping support criminal-justice reform that decreases pretrial incarceration and facilitates successful community reintegration.

Lucky Brit Wins €3.3 Million Jackpot at Gate 777 Casino Playing a NetEnt Game
A lucky punter has gone home a multimillionaire after playing a NetEnt game.
This time, it's a player in Britain rejoicing at their newfound wealth as they received a life-changing amount of money on a very small bet.
The lucky Brit won an amazing €3.3 million jackpot by playing NetEnt's Mega Fortune at Gate 777 Casino, operated by White Hat Gaming.
Bryan Upton, Director of Games for the casino supplier commented on this lucky event
"We are thrilled that Mega Fortune has again created another instant multi-millionaire and delivered a life-changing win. Since their releases, Mega Fortune and its sibling titles have generated an astonishing 60 one-million-plus euro jackpots."
"We know that the chance of hitting it real big is something that players really love. Therefore, we've made a push to add even more exciting jackpot games to our portfolio. Stay tuned for more innovation in this space," he concluded.
The company has quite a history with jackpot games such as Mega Fortune, Mega Fortune Dreams, Arabian Nights and Hall of Gods. They have also added new offerings to the jackpot slot line-up such as Grand Spinn Superpot, Mercy of the Gods and Imperial Riches.
Ronna Shilon, CEO at Gate777, said:
"On behalf of everyone at Gate777, I extend huge congratulations to our big winner. We are beyond thrilled when our players have a fantastic experience with us and when they win. We work hard to bring them the best slot and table games the industry has to offer, and we look forward to seeing more and more winners on Gate777."
Acquisitions and New Markets
The company isn't just making millionaires; they're also making millions by expanding to new regulated markets. Much has been written in the news about the legalization of online gambling in the state of Pennsylvania.
A state with a long tradition of land-based gambling has opened its doors to online-based operators and like any other suppliers, the company has also decided to enter by going live with its portfolio in this newly regulated US state.
Another newsworthy event for the company…
…was the acquisition of Red Tiger Gaming earlier this month which has seen the casino supplier pay 220 million pounds to obtain the studio in a reportedly all-cash deal.
This acquisition will allow the company to focus on its major strategic goals such as expanding into regulated markets and scalable growth.
NetEnt is one of the giants in the global igaming space, having been established in 1996, and has always been a pioneer in innovation and driving the market with thrilling games powered by a cutting-edge platform.
The company is listed on NASDAQ Stockholm and employs 900 people in Malta, Stockholm, Kyiv, Krakow, Gothenburg, Gibraltar and New Jersey.

Only lift the lid once the programmes you have selected has successfully completed its cycle. Do not exceed the jugs liquid capacity as this would interfere with its performance.
The first thing that you need to consider before buying a soup maker is the capacity. The amount of soup that you can cook using a particular soup maker should be enough for your consumption needs. The capacities range from 0.8 liters to more than 2 liters.
Secondly, find out about the weight of the soup maker appliance and its ease of use. You do not want to get a soup maker that is too heavy to move from point A to B and one that requires technical expertise to set up and use. Thirdly, enquire about the ease of cleaning associated with the soup maker you are interested in buying. It is recommended to go for one with a non-stick and stainless steel jug that comes with a detachable lid.
Recently, the sauté function has become a very popular feature of a soup maker and although not a standard feature, it is an important consideration. If the soup maker you want has the sautéing feature, it is an added advantage. Last but not least, find out the number of minutes it takes to make soup. The shorter this time is the better.
Q: How does a soup maker differ from a normal blender?
A: Although most soup makers look somewhat similar in appearance to blenders, they are actually very different. Soup makers have a heating element to cook soup whereas blenders do not have it.
Q: What capacity of a blender should I choose?
A: The capacity should depend on the size of your family and your consumption needs. You can get approximately three servings of soup from a 1 Liter soup maker.
Q: What features should I look for in a soup maker?
A: More often than not, the number of features you can find in a particular soup maker varies depending on the price. High-priced soup makers have more features than their economy-grade counterparts. However, standard features that you need to look for include at least two settings and blending options. This is to say that a standard soup maker should have at least a smooth and chunky feature and an additional blending option to help you adjust the level of consistency in your soup.
