The popular Russian actor Dmitry Djuzhev,whose biography will be described in this article, in spite of the fact that his parents worked in the theater and from the very beginning brought his son to art, he did not dream about his career, he was more interested in mastering the profession of a policeman or a sailor. But, fortunately, the genes have taken their toll, and the country gained not only a talented actor of theater and cinema, but also a director.
In 1978, on July 9, in the city of Astrakhan, in the familyPeter and Ludmila Dyuzhevyh a son was born, whom they named Dima. A child from early childhood often went to the local theater, where his parents worked. He was a calm, plodding boy, but he did not study well in elementary school. And now, at an older age, he became worthy of having his photo hanging on the school's Honor Board. When he was in the sixth grade, he was appointed chairman of the squad of pioneers, and when he studied in the ninth to the tenth, the teacher was so trusted with him that even instructed sometimes to teach mathematics to the youngest.
Father Dmitri for a long time could not find his directorand played only minor roles in the theater. His dream to become a great actor, he wanted to translate into his son, he was confident that he will be able to make a career in theatrical field. And not mistaken, Dmitry became not only an outstanding theater actor, but also one of the most talented representatives of Russian cinema. Plans to become a sailor, Dima voluntarily left and listened to the advice of his father, enrolled in GITIS at the director's faculty.
Creative biography of Dmitry Dyuzhev. "Brigade"
Debuted Dmitry Dyuzhev in the movie, starring inthe film "24 hours", only in 2000, a year after the graduation from the institute. And the real glory came to him after the release on the TV series "Brigade", in which he played a bandit named Cosmos. The actor hesitated for a long time whether to take him for this role or not, because the character is far from positive, and in life Dmitry is a deeply religious person. The priest advised him to play the hero with the understanding that this is an example of such a person as it should not be. The role of the Cosmos brought Dmitri the recognition and love of the viewer, he increasingly began to receive proposals from other directors. To date, in the actor's arsenal Dmitry more than forty works in serials and movies, as well as two directorial projects.
Few know that in the life of the actorthere were many sad events, which he experienced with great difficulty. First, he lost his eleven-year-old sister, who was diagnosed with a terrible diagnosis - blood cancer. Neither expensive treatment, nor the prayers of relatives helped her to defeat the disease. Dmitry dropped the institute and decided to return to Astrakhan to be with his parents, but they dissuaded him. After a while, and not recovering from the tragedy, Dmitry's father committed suicide. And a few months later my mother died from a heart attack. After all these events, Dmitry was gone, no one knew where he was, or what happened to him. And he went to the monastery, washed floors and windows there, prayed regularly and observed a strict fast. With full confidence that he will no longer be removed, Dima switched off the phone and broke all communications with the outside world. But one day he came to Lungin Pavel with the proposal to star in the film "Island". Dyuzhev doubted, but still agreed to return to the profession.
After six months of working away from civilizationhe returned to Moscow. Together with fellow students he went to the cinema, where he met Tatyana Zaytseva. Six months later they were married, and in August 2008 they had a son, who was given the name Ivan. Dmitri Dyuzhev's wife supports him in every way, they go to church every Sunday with their whole family.

80 Percent of Chicago Police Shooting Victims Are Black Males
An image from a Chicago police officer body camera after Paul O'Neal was shot.
The Chicago Police Department has made claims that it would work to be more open and transparent following a scandal tied to the shooting death of Laquan McDonald when Former Officer Jason Van Dyke shot him 16 times. However, the Chicago Tribune still had to wait seven months and threaten a lawsuit to be given data about the department's recent shootings.
The Tribune found that, in a six year period between 2010 and 2015, 92 people were killed in police shootings and another 170 were injured. Four out of five of those shooting victims were black males. The data also showed that a Chicago police officer fired their weapon at someone once every five days, on average.
[Related: Chicago Police Videos Show Shooting of Paul O'Neal, Unarmed Black Teen]
More than half of the officers involved in the shootings had put in years of service and were either Black or Hispanic. Out of the 520 officers who fired their weapons, more than 60 did so on more than one occasion.
A silver lining in these bleak statistics is that the number of shootings did progressively decrease over the years, with there being 100 in 2011 and 44 in 2015. But the data still shows a long history of officers being used as executioners in a space where their trained to deescalate situations as peacefully as possible.

FAST, eller Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, (五百米口径球面射电望远镜) är världens största radioteleskop och finns i Guizhou i Kina. Teleskopet är byggt som en skål med en diameter på 500 meter. Teleskopet färdigställdes 2016 och kommer användas i forskningen om mörk materia samt sökandet efter utomjordiskt liv.

Konstruktion
FAST består av en fast skålformad primärreflektor byggd av 4 450 perforerade aluminiumpaneler i en naturlig sänka (karst) i landskapet. Skålens diameter på 500 m gör den till världens största. 140 m ovanför reflektorn finns en robotstyrd mottagare, som reflektorn fokuserar radiovågor till. Mottagaren kan röra sig via kablar och gör det möjligt att rikta FAST i vilken riktning som helst ±40° från zenit. Teleskopets aperturdiameter är 300 m "belyst" av mottagaren. Hela reflektorskålens 500 m används alltså aldrig samtidigt, utan alltid en vald del på 300 m.

Ron Gronkowski Pushes for Legalization of CBD by Pro Sports Leagues, Is Open to Returning to NFL
ByFNR TIGG

Former Super Bowl-winning tight end, Rob Gronkowski, is the latest ex-athlete to step into the cannabis industry.
During a press conference held in New York City on Monday, Gronk announced that he's partnering with Abacus Health Products and its line of topical CBD products called CBDMEDIC. Little is known about his deal with Abacus Health Products, but according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Gronkowski's goal is to advocate for the legalization of CBD products by professional sports leagues.
"I'm here to appeal to the sports governing bodies to update their positions on CBD [so it can be] used by all players," Gronk told the audience. "For the first time in a decade, I'm pain-free."
In March, Gronkowski announced his official retirement from the NFL. Although he was only 29-year-old, Gronk had suffered a laundry list of injuries which played a part in him stepping away from the game. Through rest and the use of CBD products, Gronk claims he's been able to nurse himself back into good health. As a result, he thinks CBD can be beneficial for players that have had a similar experience.
Gronk confessing that he is now "pain-free" led to reporters to asking him if he's plotting a return to the gridiron. Gronk dismissed the questions by claiming that he "didn't retire from life," but he doesn't see himself playing professional football in the "foreseeable future." Though he didn't close the window to a potential comeback completely.
"Physically, I could do it. But mentally, it's not there," Gronk said when explaining how a player needs that "fire" every week to compete at a professional level. "If I'm just enjoying my life... maybe never."

Kyuss - Welcome To Sky Valley (1994)
© 1994 Elektra Records
AllMusic Review by Eduardo Rivadavia
After creating a classic with their second album, Blues for the Red Sun, desert metal gods Kyuss faced the unenviable task of delivering the goods once again for a new label, Elektra Records. And they almost pulled it off with 1994's stellar Welcome to Sky Valley. The album's 13 songs are divided into three "suites" which fully display the band's impressive creative range, from furious metal to psychedelic grooves, and anything in between. The first and most consistent of these suites starts with the huge guitar riff of "Gardenia" (which resembles molten lava flowing down the side of a volcano), continues into the moody space jam instrumental "Asteroid," and culminates in the strangely titled yet superbly diverse "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop." Other highlights include the solid thrashing of "100 Degrees," the prog rock instrumental "Whitewater," and the rather mellow (by Kyuss standards) "Demon Cleaner." But no song exemplifies the Kyuss sound as well as the aptly titled "Odyssey," which opens suite number three and provides a veritable blueprint of the band's unique combination of ingredients. The track begins with a cryptic melody, explodes into a ferocious riff, glides into a psychedelic bridge, then returns to full-throttle for its conclusion.

No Threat Will Make Us Suspend Strike – ASUU
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Kaduna State branch, says no threat will make the academic staff of Kaduna State University to suspend the ongoing industrial action.
This is in reaction to threats by the Management of Kaduna State University to resume the academic session.
Kaduna State University (KASU) management threatened academic staff to resume work or face sanctions.
Reacting, Dr Peter Adamu, the Union Chairman, said in an interview with newsmen in Kaduna on Tuesday, September 6, that the strike was legitimate and backed by national and international laws.
He said: "There is no section of the law of Kaduna State University or Staff Condition of Service that stipulates any form of sanction on lecturers participating in an action that will benefit the University."
He further explained that the constitution of Nigeria had guaranteed that right.
He said that the strike was for the betterment of the University system, Kaduna State University inclusive, and that most of the buildings in the University, staff training, among others, were all products of this kind of struggle.
Adamu added that the academic staff are not concerned about any threat that would come. He said that even during the military era, such threats came and they were overturned by the court of the land.
He assured that the strike has not been suspended, adding that they are committed to the industrial action until the Federal Government responds positively.
Adamu called on the Kaduna State Government and the students to understand that the struggle was for the benefit of all, to save public institutions in Nigeria from total collapse.

Before Sophie entered Primary One, we contemplated giving her bedroom a makeover as we expected her needs to change as she gets older. Eventually we decided to hold off the changes until we had a better idea of what she needed when primary school started.
Plus I think a little part of me was hoping and wishing that my little girl wouldn't grow up so quickly. I mean how is it that she's already in Primary School when it seems like it was just yesterday that she was a toddler.
This was how her room looked like at the end of last year where her books were kept mainly in a 4 by 2 Kallax shelving unit from IKEA. We added 2 pink doors and 2 storage boxes as they helped to keep items like stationery, craft materials and accessories out of sight, leaving the rest open for her books.
On the other side of the room was her study table, a lack side table and plastic stool from IKEA. They were sufficient for her as a pre-schooler, but we knew we had to replace that when she enters Primary One.
When the June School Holidays came, we relooked at Sophie's bedroom and concluded that her current storage space was not enough. And when things get messy, it's hard for Sophie to remember where she keeps her things and you know it, she'll come running to me and use my mummy powers to find her lost items.
So, the first thing on the list was a bigger book shelf. Since we cleared some of our books away, we decided to shift our existing BILLY book case from the study room and paired it with 2 new sets of OXBERG doors.
The beauty about the Billy Series is that there are so many options to choose from depending on what you're looking for and the shelves are fully adjustable to your needs. If you prefer to keep things out of sight, you can opt for doors like mine. Else there are also options like glass doors to show off your displays.
Moving on to Sophie's study area, we got her an ergonomic study table from an online store which can grow with her over the years. It comes with a matching chair and we added a study lamp as well.
To teach Sophie how to be more organised, we put up 2 VAGGIS cork boards above her study table which aids her to pack her school bag independently according to the timetable. It's also useful for putting up notices like spelling lists, letters from school and motivational quotes.
We used permanent clear mounting tape from 3M to put these up since it's likely that she'll need them for a while.
The cork boards have been useful as Sophie learns visually, so seeing what she needs to do is a great visual cue instead of mummy nagging at her. I recently put up the times table to get her started on her multiplication as she's going to learn it in Term 3. Yes, I can hardly believe that she'll be learning them in Primary 1 when I used to learn this in Primary 2 or 3!
We used the BUMERANG hanger to display her art piece on the photo ledge. Whoever said that hangers must have singular uses for clothes? I like this way of displaying her art pieces as I can always swap or replace with a new piece anytime.
To give Sophie a dedicated area for her bags and library books, the LERBERG ladder shelf came to the rescue. We choose one with 4 tiers and the open shelves make it easy for Sophie to put her bags away once she's home.
On the second tier, we placed a plastic basket for her library books and this encourages her to grab a book to read whenever she's free. If you notice, the bottom shelf starts out larger and gets narrower toward the top, so do be careful not to place heavy items on the top.
We decided on this ladder shelf as it fitted nicely even in a tight squeeze, fully maximising the space we have on this side of the wall where there's an indent.
The RASKOG trolley was another addition to Sophie's room and we placed it beside her bed so that her alarm clock, storybooks, lotions and creams are all within an arm's reach. You know how it is when kids try to delay bedtime when night falls.
With the RASKOG, it makes it easy for her to wind down for the night as she settles into her night time routine of reading her bedtime story, setting her alarm and applying her lotion and setting them all beside her before bedtime. We even affix luminous stars on the sides so that she can see the trolley when it's dark.
This is one trolley that is highly raved by many crafters but honestly it's super versatile and I've seen it being used in the kitchen, craft room, toilet, and nursery. The possibilities are simply endless.
The finishing touch to her room is a photo gallery wall on the opposite side of her room. I always liked the idea of a photo gallery but wasn't brave enough to attempt one. But I'm so glad I went ahead with it as it adds a cozy and personalised touch to Sophie's space.
We hung up a couple of photos and quotes framed with an assortment of FISKBO photo frames in different sizes and colours. These were hung up using picture hanging strips from 3M which claims that they will not damage my walls and a set of 4 can hold up to 7.2kg.
I need not tell you how much I loved the pink frames and even added a pink bow from the KRUSIDULLER series which I picked up from the paper decoration section. Hubby thinks I was trying to "Hello Kitty" the frame, which I kinda agree.
Another item I used to decorate Sophie's room was the KÄRESTA paper butterflies that you see above. You can gently fold it's wings up for a pop of 3D effect and it was just the perfect finishing touch to her girly big girl's bedroom.
Sophie adores her new big girl bedroom for the new school term and she's so thrilled to have a huge bookcase for her growing collection of books, books and more books. The new additions in the room certainly helps in keeping her belongings more organised and she knows the importance of having a "home" for all things.
For now, her MÅLA easel with a whiteboard on one side and a blackboard on the other is still staying in the bedroom as we use it for her learning. It's probably one item that has been with her over these years and we hate to see it go because that would mean my baby girl is all grown up.
While I know it wouldn't be long before this room changes again, maybe with K-pop posters and lyrics of pop songs instead of Dr Seuss quotes, but for now, I like how Sophie's big girl bedroom looks. Who knew that this room makeover would get me all sentimental over my baby girl.
Before I end the post, I wanted to add that you should never allow your child to climb onto furniture like the BILLY or LERBERG shelf which I featured above. Actually, never allow your child to climb on any furniture for that matter as there is undoubtedly definitely a risk of them tipping over to cause injuries. We always get Sophie to ask for assistance when she needs to take anything from the top of the bookcase or shelves and she understands the consequences of not doing so.

A pretty pink room!! It such a conducive place for learning and rest. Love the photo wall as they always add touches of love and life to the room.
Hope it stays at neat as this on regular days too. She's liking it so far.
I have another one of those ladder shelf at my doorway too and use it for mine and hubby's bags when we get home instead of leaving them at the dining area.
Kids grow up too fast! Love how neat the room is!
You are amazing. This gives me so much inspiration what I can do for my children this week.

When we think scientific discoveries, our minds often times take us to either medicine or space exploration, at least that is the case for me. It is very rare when you hear about a discovery in charting our own earth. It seems as though we've figured it all out. Nothing more to discover here, right? All the continents have been studied and mapped; we know what exactly our planet looks like. Even kids in elementary school could probably sketch out a rough image of our world, and it would be a somewhat accurate drawing (for the most part). Aren't we on to something bigger, newer? We know all there is we need to know about the topography of our planet. Wrong. Only about 5% of our underwater world has been examined and mapped out. This is about 71% of our earth's surface. So if you do the math, you'd find that we only know about 32.55% of our earth. Apart from the little we've mapped out, below sea level is an uncharted mystery.
Space exploration began in 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite. This started the Space Race between the two Cold War opponents: the United States and Soviet Russia. It finally ended in 1975 upon the landing of Neil Armstrong on the moon. This accomplishment left the world in wonder of this vast universe we have yet to discover. Now in 2017, we have discovered new planets. NASA is using technology like the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory to detect ripples of gravity in planets that are light years away. One in particular is being studied from earth, which is 4.2 light years away; it is called Proxima Centauri, and revolves around the star closest to the sun. Tons of groundbreaking discoveries of our universe are being made every year, but breaking the ground (or surface of the ocean) appears to have very little precedence in any major scientific studies today.
Ocean diving technology began to develop in the late 1600s. In 1776, Turtle, the first submarine, was invented. Deep sea life became a focus in the 1800s, and finally, in the 1900s, the first maps of the ocean floor were developed. Ocean research was assisted by the National Oceanographic Atmospheric Administration's establishment. Up until August of 2011, the deepest point on the ocean floor had not been charted. In an expedition of the survey ship, Challenger, the deepest point of 10,916 meters below sea level was reached by one man who controlled the ship. This is one small fraction of the 5% of ocean floor that has been mapped. As time goes on, discoveries of new species of sea life progress. This is only the tip of the iceberg. The proximity of this new world makes studying the new frontier, our ocean, all the more possible. What other possibilities lie under the surface of the water? We have yet to know.

Let me start off saying I agree with everything you talked about and how we need to start paying more attention to the ocean. I am passionate about your essay/post because you talk about how we need to start exploring more of the ocean since not much of it is explored because who knows megaladon might be down there. Also, I agree with you about the news and scientists of that there main focus is space.
One thing that you said that stands out to me is," Ocean diving technology began to develop in the late 1600s. " I think this is interesting to me because I didn't know diving technology could be this old. Thanks for taking the time to read this and lets hope more will get discovered.


Adriatic Luxury Hotels Blog: The best ingredients for a high quality of life are in Dubrovnik!
The best ingredients for a high quality of life are in Dubrovnik!
What do London's Harrods, the Four Seasons hotel chain and Dubrovnik's Grand Villa Argentina have in common? Thierry Caruel! The Frenchman worked at Harrods for three years, spent an equal amount of time as head of kitchen in the luxury hotel chain and then joined Grand Villa Argentina in Dubrovnik, where he has been the chef for the last nine months. Thierry was educated in Paris, and then he worked all over the world – New York, Thailand, India, Switzerland. What brought him to Dubrovnik?
The high point of his successful career has surely been his engagement at the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. "Preparations for the wedding took two months and everything was top secret. Only my wife knew I had been hired for the royal wedding. The menu was international, and I was in charge of the French cuisine. All the ingredients had to be bought exclusively in France and were delivered to us in sealed packages which were opened in the presence of the Queen's security staff, who then tasted all the ingredients. Despite all that, I did not feel I was under pressure, I felt good, and the atmosphere in Buckingham Palace was relaxed. That was a wonderful experience. I met wonderful people and realized why they were proud to have an opportunity to work for the Queen," says Thierry.
Thierry regularly cooks for his wife and children, who are his most honest critics. At home, he tries new dishes, and specialities from different world cuisines find their place in the menu. The family around the table is always a small celebration for them. "At the moment, my greatest challenge is to create a new speciality which will make Victoria recognized," reveals this likable and energetic chef. He finds life in Dubrovnik quite similar to the one in London because of the many people from all over the world whom he meets every day in the course of his work. Only the climate is much nicer and life is less hasty and stressful. And these are the best ingredients for a high quality of life, a recipe we should all stick to.

Arms Deals and Military Exhibitions
U.S clears $1.5 billion in arms sales for Egypt, South Korea and Canada
Thread starter Scorpion
THINK TANK: SENIOR
State Department clears $1.5 billion in arms sales for Egypt, South Korea and Canada
South Korea is looking to spend almost $1 billion on support for its RQ-4 Global Hawk fleet. (U.S. Air Force photo/Stacey Knott)
WASHINGTON — The U.S. State Department today cleared a trio of weapon sales for Egypt, South Korea and Canada, which could net American firms more than $1.5 billion in revenues.
Announcements for the three deals were published online by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. DSCA announcements are not final sales; if cleared by Congress, contract figures can change during future negotiations.
The largest of the three agreements is with South Korea, which was ok'd to receive contractor logistics support for its fleet of RQ-4 Block 30 unmanned systems. That comes with an estimated cost of $950 million. Northrop Grumman will be the prime contractor on the work, with offset requirements to be determined later.
Northrop's work order will cover "program management; training for pilots maintenance, logistics and communications personnel; depot and organizational level maintenance; minor modifications and upgrades; spares and repair/return parts; operational flight support; program analysis; publications and technical documentation; U.S. Government and contractor technical and logistics services; and other related elements of logistics and program support," per the DSCA.
Egypt's deal involves follow on technical support for a variety of ships in its navy. Work will cover Egypt's fleets of Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates, fast missile craft, coastal mine hunter ships, and 25 meter and 28 meter fast patrol craft.
The prime contractor will be the Virginia-based VSE Corporation, with an estimated price tag of $554 million.
Finally, Canada is looking to buy 152 American-made radios, for $44 million. Known formally as the Multifunctional Information Distribution System - Joint Tactical Radio System, the radio is Link 16 enabled, an important capability for the NATO ally.
"Canada intends to upgrade its current inventory of CF-18 aircraft, CC-130J, and the Royal Canadian Air Force's ground stations with the purchase of these MIDS JTRS (5) terminals to be fully interoperable with U.S. and allied forces to support and compliment joint operations in a net-enabled environment; have modernized electronic protection and secure, jam-resistant wave forms; and be capable of improved Link 16 message exchange and information fidelity including support to advanced weapon employment," the DSCA announcement says. Primary vendors are Viasat and Data Link Solutions, and some form of industrial offset is expected.
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.

I am trying to update some rows in a SQL Server database table (not registered with geodatabase) with arcpy.da.UpdateCursor. However, when running the deleteRow(), I get the error return without exception set error. Updating geodatabase tables works fine.
I guess it might be a limitation of arcpy which can't edit a non-registered with geodatabase RDBMS table (in this case, SQL Server), but I want to make sure I don't miss anything.
Can ArcSDESQLExecute class help me to update SQL Server table that are not registered in geodatabase (have found no info on that in the Help)? Any other workarounds?
I have ended up using ArcSDESQLExecute which works fine for executing SQL commands (including deleting rows) for tables that are not registered with geodatabase.
sql_statement = """delete from added_table WHERE AddID = 2 """
If you need just basic SQL access on something that is not a registered ArcSDE table, I recommend using a simple ODBC connection object rather than mucking about with the overhead of ArcPy. ArcPy adds so many objects which you likely do not need that it slows down what should be a quick and simple process. My personal choice is pyodbc which can be found at http://code.google.com/p/pyodbc/.
sql = "DELETE FROM table_name WHERE some_column=some_value"
If your data is registered as an SDE table then you will need to stick with an ArcPy/ArcObjects method to add, delete or update a record to prevent corrupting any part of the database. You can still use the pyodbc (or other odbc connectors) to read the SDE tables.

Q: Group theory - How Many Elements in $\mathbb Z_n^*$ Assume $p,q$ are two primes numbers which differ from each other, such that $3$ doesn't divide $(p-1)$ nor $(q-1)$. and let $n = pq$. For how many elements in $\mathbb Z_n^*$, exists a value $b$ such that $b^3 \equiv a \bmod n.$

A: Notice that $\mathbb Z_n^*\cong \mathbb Z_{p-1}\times \mathbb Z_{q-1}$. This is a consequence of CRT and the existence of primitive roots $\bmod p$.
So we have reduced this problem to finding the number of solutions to $b^3=a$ inside a product of two cyclic groups of order $p-1$ and $q-1$. ( We use additive notation for these groups now).
If we let $a=(a_1,a_2)$ and $b=(b_1,b_2)$ then we need $3a_1\equiv b_1\bmod p-1$, which has only one solution (the solution is $a_1\cong 3^{-1}b_1\bmod p-1)$. Notice that it is important that $3\nmid p-1$, as otherwise the inverse does not exist. Analogously $b_2$ is uniquely determined.
Conclusion: There is exactly one solution to $b^3\equiv a \bmod pq$, for any $a\in \mathbb Z_{pq}^*$.


This Lithophane Mermaid & Child Translucent Porcelain Night Light will light up the corners of your home with unique beauty. First invented in France in 1827, a Lithophane ("Vision In Stone") is a porcelain engraving that virtually comes alive when illuminated from behind. A breathtakingly detailed picture in warm sepia emerges when light passes through the different thickness of the porcelain panel. These illuminated artworks are so detailed, that they are sometimes mistaken for photographs!
To create a Lithophane the design is first carved in wax, using a light table as guide to help our artist see the image as he works. A mold is made from the carving, and then porcelain is pressed into the mold. The dried porcelain is finished by hand and high fired in a kiln to 2300oF, and then each piece is inspected carefully under a light. This high temperature firing makes the porcelain nonporous, durable and beautifully translucent. The gradual transition from thick to thin produces a truly amazing range of delicate shadings. Each Lithophane is a magical work of art, which casts a gentle spell on all those who behold it!
Our exclusive clip mounting allows our Night Lights to be plugged into any electrical outlet, including outlets that are installed sideways or upside down.

Q: PyMUPDF - How to convert PDF to image, using the original document settings for the image size and set to 300dpi? I'm currently looking at using the python package PyMuPDF for a workflow that converts PDF's to images (In my case, .TIFF files).
I am trying to mimic the behaviour of another program that I currently use for PDF -> Image conversion. In that program, it lets you set the settings for imaging as below:
Image Output Quality (DPI): (Defaults to 300dpi)
Basic Image Size: Original setting - renders the image with the original document settings.
My question is, is this possible within PyMuPDF? How can I set the output DPI for my images to 300 and set the image size to the original document size? I am quite new to dealing with this sort of processing for PDF's/images so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

A: PyMuPDF is wrapped around MuPDF
It has many powerful pdf manipulation options which include the ability to set page scale and resolution of page image outputs.
However MuPDF does support Tiff input but not natively export to single or multipage Tiff, thus would need an additional conversion from say multiple PNG which is native.
The range of current inputs and outputs
Input   Output  Description
JPEG    -       Joint Photographic Experts Group
BMP     -       Windows Bitmap
JXR     -       JPEG Extended Range
JPX     -       JPEG 2000
GIF     -       Graphics Interchange Format
TIFF    -       Tagged Image File Format
PNG     PNG     Portable Network Graphics
PNM     PNM     Portable Anymap
PGM     PGM     Portable Graymap
PBM     PBM     Portable Bitmap
PPM     PPM     Portable Pixmap
PAM     PAM     Portable Arbitrary Map
-       PSD     Adobe Photoshop Document
-       PS      Adobe Postscript

to export to tiff you would need say PIL/Pillow along the lines of
from PIL import Image
import fitz

pix = fitz.Pixmap(...)
img = Image.frombytes("RGB", [pix.width, pix.height], pix.samples)
img.save("output.tif", "TIFF")

However for storing single pages to muti-page you will need to experiment with PILlow settings.
[Update]
I see you asked this question in PyMuPDF and for others benefit the answer was

Sounds like you will create a so-called "pixmap" for each page and save that as an image.
PyMuPDF itself only support a handful of image output formats, the most popular being PNG, others are the PNM-type images.
If you want to use others, you must use an additional package, presumably PIL/Pillow.
PyMuPDF supports Pillow directly via its pixmap output methods.
So a code snippet may look like this:

import fitz
mat = fitz.Matrix(300 / 72, 300 / 72)  # sets zoom factor for 300 dpi
doc = fitz.open("yourfile.pdf")
for page in doc:
    pix = page.get_pixmap(matrix=mat)
    img_filename = "page-%04i.tiff" % page.number
    pix.pil_save(img_filename, format="TIFF", dpi=(300,300), ... more PIL parameters)

For more sophistication on PIL output, please consult their documentation. For example, TIFF supports multiple images in one file.

Children among Dead in Bangladesh Ferry Disaster [WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES]

Relatives mourn over the bodies of two children who died as a ferry capsized in Bangladesh Reuters
At least 12 people, including two children, have died after a ferry carrying hundreds of passengers capsized and sank during a storm in Bangladesh.
The MV Miraz-4 vessel was overturned in high winds on the Meghna river as it made its way towards Shariatpur from the capital Dhaka.
Officials said many passengers swam to safety but it is not clear how many were still missing.
"We are receiving confusing figures on how many passengers were on board when it sank, but the number could range from 200 to 350," said local government administrator Saiful Hasan.
"There was a sudden storm and we requested the bosun to anchor at the riverside but he ignored us," Abdur Rahman, a 50-year-old passenger who survived, told Reuters. "The ferry capsized within a few seconds."
Firefighters, police and coastguard were involved in rescue operations.
A women and two children were among the bodies retrieved from the water. A rescue diver said he saw more bodies trapped underwater inside the wreck.
Ferry accidents are common in the low-lying delta nation and are usually blamed on overcrowding and poor quality of the vessels.
In 2012 more than 100 people died when a ferry crashed with an oil tanker on the Meghna river.

The calm is now upon us after the thrilling chaos that was Luminato and what are we left with? The satisfying aftertaste of success from the Mind Over Matter magical series!
For this year's Luminato, Magicana went with the saying, "Mind Over Matter", a term originally used to refer to paranormal phenomena, to best describe the magic behind these three performers. While each show was different from the other, they all had a common theme: how magic is essentially delivered and perceived through the power of the mind.
The world's leading mentalist, Banachek, astounded, intrigued and inspired crowds with his life story through The Alpha Project, while Richard Turner cheated his way into the hearts of Torontonians with his incredible feats in card manipulation. Similarly, Juan Esteban Varela, despite NOT being the blonde with rippling muscles as he claimed to be, resonated strongly with From the Dark, as he made his mark with one of magic's most experiential, groundbreaking shows to date.
The Alpha Project: Insight into the Life of a Mentalist
The Alpha Project revealed Banachek's life story. Having gone through a trying childhood – abandoned at age 9 – Banachek embraced these tribulations and used them to support him on his way to becoming a mentalist. At 18, Banachek made headlines when, for a period of four years under close scrutiny, he convinced research scientists at Washington University that he was psychic. Entitled Project Alpha,the purpose of this experiment was to disprove others who claimed to be real psychics and to declare to the world that even scientists, when lacking expertise in the arts of deception, can be easily misled.
With rave reviews from The Toronto Star, Mooney on Theatre and Torontoist, it looks like The Alpha Project fulfilled its purpose in spreading this word!
The Cheat: Why One Should Never Play Cards with Strangers
In between wowing spectators for Luminato, Richard Turner, "The Cheat" also performed for Holland Bloorview and the Parliament Branch Library. Rounds of Texas Hold 'Em, poker, blackjack and three card monte then ensued between Richard Turner and the audience. The end results, of course, always went according to his liking, despite the inordinate amount of shuffles by audience members and, at some rounds, with limited cards.
Richard Turner, along with boggling the minds of Toronto, also charmed the hosts of the Morning Show and the CBC's Eli Glasner. See Richard's part in this CBC News clip in which Eli Glasner calls today's age a "Magic Renaissance".
From the Dark: Magic at Its Purest Form
For the closing weekend of Luminato, we followed Juan Esteban Varela, blindfolded, as he guided us through his new show, From the Dark – the only magic show that happens in absolute darkness. With everyone participating, the show quickly became an experience with a sea of voices in an unknown space. These factors contributed to the show's overall mystery, which is essentially magic in its base form. Indeed, Toronto Star and Cadence Canada both agreed that From the Dark was truly unique in its premise and most of all, its effect.
And so, we end Luminato 6 with invigorating vibes and positive feedback from Toronto.

Volunteers are magic
There is nothing more inspiring that watching the children from Magicana's My Magic Hands program. I have been leading this particular program at Holland Bloorview for six years now, and I still can't get over how amazing it is to see a young student blossom into a confident and charming performer.
Today, we had about 100 people in attendance at the hospital to see The Big Show – a show by students to showcase their favourite magic trick from five weeks of training with our My Magic Hands team. Each performer overcame nervous "butterflies" and really impressed their friends, family and, of course, their magic coaches with stellar performances! Watching these little ones transform over week by week at the hospital is one of the most rewarding experiences I have had as a professional magician.
However, as impressive as these children are to me, I also marvel at the power of volunteering and how it impacts participants. We create a supporting role for volunteers in the program by calling them "magic coaches" – and the coaches at Holland Bloorview filled their titles to a tee. We had four volunteers work alongside staff and magic instructors from Magicana, to coach each child through the rigour of learning their magic tricks. Volunteers dutiflly gave their time, energy and encouraging attitudes each week to support their young wards.
Getting up and performing in front of such a large group is a daunting task for most. In fact today, one participant wanted to withdraw from the show. It was heartwarming to see how coaches immediately pounced into action. They rallied behind our wavering magician and quickly melted her nervous fears, enabling her to work through the stage fright and ultimately, to bask in applause. I could not have been more proud.
The secret to our program is the high-level of dedicated volunteers that we have the privilege of working with. To all our volunteers, thank you for giving the invaluable gift of your time – and for sharing wonder!

Yamato 2199 Chapter 7 Program Book
Posted on September 11, 2012 by TimEldred
Daisuke Ono (voice actor, Susumu Kodai)
I want more people to see it, and hand it down from generation to generation for a long time. That's the kind of work this is.
Kenichi Suzumura (voice actor, Daisuke Shima)
When I heard that excellent last line of Captain Okita, I realized, "this is over."
Ono: The final chapter is here at last, but honestly I didn't feel like it was over until the recording of the last episode. It feels like it's been a long journey, doesn't it? But after finishing the recording, while I felt a sense of accomplishment, at the same time I felt a touch of loneliness. Yamato was a part of my life for a year and eight months.
Suzumura: I don't feel like it's over. When I heard Captain Okita say "I said idiots!" in the first episode, I felt like "Yamato starts with that," and I had a similar feeling when I heard the last line, "Earth…what great memories…" I felt like "that's how it ends," and I was deeply impressed when I realized that.
Ono: In the last episode, when Kodai talks about his memories with Yuki, it wasn't only about their relationship, it took into account the whole journey of Yamato. You can think of the love of Kodai and Yuki as an extension of various events.
Suzumura: I was hoping that a wonderful partner for Shima would appear in the end, but it didn't come true this time. I'll look forward to it next time. (Laughs)
Ono: I tried as hard as possible to play Kodai in the beginning, but it all became clear in the end when he seemed to resonate more with the other characters. When Shima said to Yuki "welcome back" in the last episode, it was a tender line. On the other hand, Nanbu looked like he tried to say something and got interrupted. (Laughs)
Suzumura: I felt a heavy sense of duty at the beginning. The first Yamato TV series was a work that affected many people, including director Izubuchi, and it was the reason they were involved in the remake. But as I did it, I found room to enjoy it. My attitude toward the work changed from "I have to do this" to "I have fun doing this." That experience was a first.
Ono: I think it's rare to be involved with one work for a long time, and it meant I had time to face it slowly and carefully.
Suzumura: Shima came to know the truth of his father's death, and his friendship with Kodai gave him the growth to overcome it. I think that was his point as a character. I was moved to tears in the scene of his last communication with his mother [Episode 7]. The work is structured as an ensemble drama with the spotlight hitting different characters at a time, and I thought it was great to let you feel drama for characters that don't even appear on camera. In other words, they also have perfectly everyday lives. I felt that in the scene of Kato's marriage party in the last episode.
Ono: That last episode was a strong ending simply because it showed such an everyday thing.
Suzumura: The safety of Yuki and the mystery of the Cosmo Reverse System gave the story another side with a sense of tension, too. There was a sense of relief with the party, that these people have been on a long journey, and it gave you a moment of enjoyment.
Ono: It began with a movie and became a TV series, and I'm glad a lot of people got to see it. In this way, when the ending came, more desire came out. I'd like more people to see it. It's something that can be called "a good work" with confidence. I recommend it to various people, and everyone please recommend it to those around you, by all means.
Suzumura: Episode 20, which shows the battle of the Rainbow Star Cluster, has more than 500 shots. That's an impossible number for a half-hour show. But that means it was made with great passion, a manifestation of the desire for younger generations to inherit it.
Ono: I want this work to be handed down for a long time.
Suzumura: We were able to complete a long journey this way. It was because we took the journey together with a lot of fans. Since we've both been given the opportunity to speak, on behalf of the many staff and cast members involved in this work, I want to thank everyone.
Ono: And thank you to everyone who gave it their support.
Suzumura: If there is another project, we'll see you again. No, since it is Yamato, I believe it is certain.

Sustainable Building 2020 – October 2020
The current situation with the Covid-19 pandemic and its social, economic and environmental impacts has brought to the fore the importance of design and placemaking in creating infrastructure, places and buildings that will allow us to be prepared for, and make us less vulnerable to, future pandemics or crises. As the built environment sector innovates to overcome these challenges, there will be a remarkable number of opportunities when creating new buildings or retrofitting those that we already have, creating new places and rebuilding the economy. This has been reflected in the new Programme for Government, with a £100m Green Jobs Fund, the investment of £275m for the regeneration of communities and town centres and £500m to be invested in Active Travel infrastructure over 5 years (£100m to be spent in 2020/21) and the Infrastructure Investment Plan which amounts to £24bn over 5 years and includes investment to decarbonise business, industry and buildings, the provision of new health facilities, schools and homes. With this level of investment currently available, it is the perfect time for leaders and innovators in these fields to share their experiences, knowledge and best-practice with each other and with organisations that are perhaps less experienced in some of these fields. This event is an ideal opportunity for architects, planners, placemaking professionals, local and national government officers, elected representatives at local and national level, infrastructure providers, engineers and all other relevant stakeholders to engage with other thought leaders and potential partners to forge solutions to the challenges and explore what opportunities may be presented by the current situation.

INDUCE – MeerWissen – Defining socially-inclusive strategies for conserving fish functional diversity and promoting sustainable blue economy in Senegal
Country/Region Senegal/West Africa Project duration August 2020 to September 2022 Senegal is a coastal and Sahelian country with a wide range of rural areas, hosting unique and diverse species. The coastlines and deltas are characterized by highly productive marine ecosystems and are hotspots for large populations of fish. Fishes are critical to maintain ecosystem functions and services, including food provision and creation of jobs for the fishing industry. However, Senegal coastal ecosystems face numerous environmental issues linked to human activities. Solid scientific knowledge on how environmental stress affects biodiversity in the region is in urgent need to guide mitigation strategies aimed at conserving biodiversity and promoting sustainable economic growth. Biodiversity has traditionally been quantified as the number of species in each ecosystem, thus failing to account for the ecological role that species play within ecosystems. Functional diversity, measured by how species interact with the environment and with other species, has emerged as a more effective link between biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services. Despite functional diversity is key to ecosystem services valuable to humans, this metric is rarely considered in the discourse connecting science to governance and policy. The overall goal of this project is to produce sound scientific knowledge for the conservation of fish functional diversity from socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable economic growth perspectives in Senegal. Collected data will constitute the basis for the development of capacities and management strategies in support of the National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plan (NBSAP) and according to the Plan Senegal Emergent (PSE) and Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) principles. Produce sound scientific knowledge for the conservation of fish functional diversity from socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable economic growth perspectives in Senegal Assess the status of fish functional diversity and determine the links with ecosystem functions and services Build capacities for functional…

Woodstone Introduces Hand-crafted, Sustainable Wooden Watches and Accessories – Richmond News Now

In a time when people are consumed by their smartphones, smartwatches, and social media accounts, keeping in touch with nature to meditate, relax, and recharge seems impossible. People spend a lot of their time online, and this may result in weakened relationships, inability to focus on tasks and mental health issues. Seeing this scenario, two outdoor and watch enthusiasts aimed to create a product that will remind people to spend their time well and keep in touch with nature to achieve self-mastery. This led to the creation of Woodstone. Woodstone is a brand offering stylish, hand-crafted wooden watches and accessories that are also sustainable. "We plant a tree for every watch we sell. So far, we planted over 40,000 fruit trees in needy countries that provide sustainable food and income through our tree planting partner," said a representative at Woodstone. Woodstone watches and accessories are made with good design. They have clean, minimalist, uncluttered, and eco-friendly looks to show people that good designs can be on point while making a difference in the world. They're high-quality and affordable too.

When most people think of arthritis, they think of a disease common in old people, but Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) is a group of diseases that strikes the young. In recent years, to better describe the many types of arthritides included in this group, the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) renamed the disease Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and most pediatric rheumatologists now prefer this new term.
JIA refers to a grab bag of at least five distinct arthritis diseases with at least seven patterns of illness. They can range from relatively mild conditions that disappear at puberty, to relentlessly progressive, crippling arthritis.
The exact cause of the arthritides in JIA remains unknown. The two leading theories are that the diseases are caused by infections with as-yet-unidentified microorganisms, or that the diseases are the result of an over-exuberant autoimmune reaction — one's own immune system turning against oneself.
Some children inherit a genetic predisposition to JIA.
As stated earlier, there are at least five major subtypes of rheumatic disease that fall under the name JIA. Various organizations have developed their own classification schemes to subtype the arthritides. In general, the types of arthritis seen in JIA can be divided into polyarticular (affecting many joints), oligoarticular (affecting few joints), or systemic. They can also be divided based on whether or not the child has Rheumatoid Factor in the blood (RF positive or negative); whether they have antibodies called antinuclear antibody in the blood (ANA positive or negative); or if they carry a gene called HLA-B27.
All forms of rheumatoid arthritis are characterized by chronic swelling and inflammation of the synovial membrane that lines the joints. If this chronic inflammation continues over many years, the joint cartilage and joint bone become eroded and are gradually destroyed. The amount of time the chronic inflammation can last before the damage becomes permanent varies a great deal, but it is a much longer period in JIA compared to Adult Rheumatoid Arthritis. Many children with JIA outgrow the disease and never develop permanent joint damage.
The polyarticular diseases are characterized by involvement of multiple joints, typically including the small joints of the hands. Rheumatoid Factor Positive Polyarticular Disease tends to be the more severe of the two polyarticular diseases. Rheumatoid nodules often appear at the joints. Rheumatoid Factor Negative Polyarticular JRA is typically mild. It is rarely associated with rheumatoid nodules at the joint spaces. The affected joints are typically swollen and warm. They tend to be particularly stiff and painful in the morning and following periods of inactivity. Joint involvement in both polyarticular diseases is typically symmetric, with both sides of the body mirroring each other.
The pauciarticular diseases are characterized by a joint involvement that is limited to four or fewer joints for the first six months of the disease. The large joints are primarily affected, and the arthritis is typically asymmetric. Children with these diseases are at higher risk of eye complications.
Systemic JRA typically begins with high, spiking fevers and a fleeting, salmon-colored rash. The fever usually spikes once or twice daily, with chills and a rash during the fever spikes. Joint problems can be present at the beginning, but may also occur much later.
Is Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis contagious?
JIA is not contagious itself, but it can be triggered by certain viruses such as parvovirus, rubella, and Epstein-Barr virus. These infections are contagious.
How long does Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis last?
Many children with JIA will get better at puberty. Some children will have active arthritis that continues into adulthood. Overall, those with Rheumatoid Factor Positive Polyarthritis and Systemic JIA have the highest likelihood for ongoing symptoms. About 25 to 50 percent of the children with Rheumatoid Factor Positive Polyarthritis and Systemic JIA will be affected as adults.
For most children with JIA, the long-term outlook is good. Nevertheless, at best this chronic disease will last for several years.
The diagnosis of JIA is suggested by the history and by objective signs of arthritis on the physical exam. Blood tests can help to confirm the diagnosis and to exclude other causes for these symptoms. Anemia, in the face of increased white blood cells and platelets, is often present at the time of diagnosis.
The goal of therapy is to provide symptomatic relief, to preserve long-term joint function, and to prevent related complications such as eye involvement. The primary medicines used are anti-inflammatory medicines and, more recently, low-dose chemotherapy drugs that seem to normalize the over-exuberant immune system. Physical and occupational therapies are also important components of treatment.
Early detection and treatment of eye problems can prevent scarring and preserve vision. Children with pauciarticular disease are at highest risk of eye problems, followed by those with polyarticular disease, and then systemic disease.
It is important to find a caring and knowledgeable physician, skilled in the treatment of JIA, to coordinate treatment, closely monitor progress, and to frequently adjust treatments as necessary. This is often a pediatric rheumatologist.
With most JIA patients, there is a difficult and crucial balance to be learned — when to be physically active in spite of pain and when to accept limitations.
How can Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis be prevented?
JIA is difficult to prevent. Children with a genetic susceptibility may benefit from measures to modulate the immune system, such as breastfeeding, probiotics (beneficial bacteria as found in yogurt), avoiding tobacco smoke, and avoiding unnecessary antibiotics.

Thus, further proving that NetEnt strives to provide slot games with high resolution, mind boggling graphics & bonus features to lust over. And it looks like, much to a player's delight, NetEnt has indeed gone all out this time round.
In the Avalanche Feature, instead of spinning, the symbols of the game fall or drop into positions on the slot reel. Moreover, whenever a win match is encountered, the Avalanche Feature comes into play. This means that, the symbols in a winning combination will explode & disappear, all the while leaving an empty space for a second avalanche of symbols to take its place in hopes of even bigger wins. This feature continues on until there are no more wins.
In the Hero Wilds Feature, when all the Hero Symbols appearing in a winning combination have been destroyed, then the remaining symbols of the same type, that are on the reels, will turn in to Wild Symbols. This action will occur before the next Avalanche begins & will continue on until there are no more wins on the Hero Symbols. This feature can be activated in the base game as well as during Free Spins.
Whenever there is a no- win situation in the base game, the Destroy Feature is activated at random. During this feature, all the symbols of only one color along with the scatter symbols will stay on the reels, while the rest of the symbols will be destroyed. After that, new reel symbols will drop with a new Avalanche in line.
The Free Spins Feature is activated when 3 scatter symbols appear anywhere on the slot reels in the base game, activating 8 Free Spins for the player. These free spins will be played at the same coin value & bet level as the spin round that activated the free spins. After the free spins are over, the game will return to the game round that activated the spins.
In this feature, a player encounters 3 Free Spins Worlds, out of which, a player can enter only one at first. Each of these worlds have their own features and monsters. When the free spins are in play, it charges the super hero meters, giving them the chance to defeat the monsters (i.e. the captains & bosses), using Hero Attacks & Hero Special Attacks. In terms of winnings, a player can win when damage is being dealt to one or more captains in the game. Hitting their weak spots will weaken them and in turn earn you big time. Defeating the captains will lead you to the boss fight & you can earn a super mega win if you defeat him. Moreover, defeating the boss will trigger another free spins world & 8 free spins and the process keeps on.
Dark Forest : If you enter the Dark Forest World, you will see a jungle theme on your slot screen. There will be 3 Captains & a Boss, whom you have to attack in their weak spots. Once their weak spots are destroyed, Spreading Wilds will be placed randomly on the slot reels. During a win match, they will explode along with the win symbols. Then, new spreading wilds will appear adjacent to the position where the previous spreading wild exploded.
Ice World : In the Free Spins Ice World, you will find yourself in an ice kingdom. Here, when the captain's or boss's weak spots are destroyed, a stack of 2 Heavy Wilds will be placed randomly on the slot reels. They tend to stay on the reels during a win match, awaiting the next avalanche.
Fire Lands : In the Fire Lands, you appear to be surrounded by volcanoes and lava. Destroying the captain or boss here, will place 2 to 4 Random Wilds Symbols on the slot reels at random.
Spreading Wilds : Spreading Wilds are placed at random on the reels. They can land on top of other wild symbols. When a win situation is in play, the Spreading Wilds get destroyed along with the other symbols. However, new Spreading Wild Symbols will take place on the positions adjacent to the previously destroyed Spreading Wild Symbols. Also, each Spreading Wild Symbol can give way to 2 Spreading Wild Symbols.
Heavy Wilds : These will be placed on the slot reels after the next avalanche. They cannot land lower than the fourth row. They can land on top of other Heavy Wild Symbols. However, in cases like this, only one Heavy Wild will be placed on the reels. They don't get destroyed during a winning combination, instead they remain on the reel for a new avalanche. In case, Heavy Wilds reach the 5th row, they will be instantly destroyed when the next avalanche approaches. However, if they land in between a winning combination, they will complete it before getting destroyed.
Random Wilds : 2 to 4 Random Wilds are placed at random on the slot reels. During a win situation, they will be destroyed along with the other symbols on the reels. However, the new symbols, that appear on the position where the random wilds were destroyed, will turn in to wilds. They can land on top of the other Wild Symbols.
Monsters : There are two different types of Monsters in each world. They are : 3 Captains & 1 Boss. Each Captain will have 15 Health Points where as the Boss will have 105 Health Points. A monster will be destroyed when their Heath Points reach 0.
Captains : Whenever a Captain is destroyed, the action activates the Free Spins Feature of the current Free Spins world. In case, multiple captains are destroyed simultaneously, the feature will be rewarded the corresponding no. of times.
The Boss : The Boss has 105 Health Points & only appears on the slot screen after all the captains are destroyed. It has 5 weak spots, in which 2 have 15 health points and 3 have 25 health points. When the boss gets destroyed, the active Avalanche will keep playing until no more wins occur. After this, players will be transferred to another Free Spins World with a set of another 8 free spins. This process will continue as long as a player manages to destroy all the monsters of the particular worlds. A player can visit a world twice, in case the other two worlds have already been destroyed once.
Hero Attacks : Each of the super heroes in the game has low and medium win symbols of the same color, that are further used to trigger their Hero Attacks as well as charge their Hero Meter to trigger the Hero Super Attack. After each win on the reels, a hero randomly makes a Hero Attack on a monster to weaken him. The damage dealt to a monster corresponds to the amount of wins on the hero's low or medium win symbols.
Hero Meters : There are a total of 3 Hero Meters with respect to each Super Hero. Each win on the reel will charge the Hero Meter by 1 and a total of 3 charges will fill the Hero Meter fully. A full Hero Meter means that the Hero Super Attack is activated.
Hero Special Attacks : Here, the Blue Hero Special Attack deals 1 damage point to all the Monsters present on reel. The Pink Hero Special Attack deals 1 damage point, a total of 4 times, to Monsters that are selected at random. Lastly, the Green Hero Special Attack deals 4 damage points to a single Monster selected at random.
