One of the legends of Detroit Red Wings folklore, goaltender Mike Vernon earned the 1997 Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Of course, he’ll forever also be known for the image of him brawling with Colorado Avalanche goaltender Patrick Roy on March 26, 1997.
He sat own virtually with Red Wings in-arena hostess Carley Johnston in an episode of “Coffee With Carley” to share some fun memories he has of the years of donning the Winged Wheel, as well as what it was like during one of the most famous games in Detroit sports history.
“I have a lot of good fond memories of Detroit – winning the Stanley Cup and celebrating in the dressing room, things like that with the players and the dinners and the comrades that we had,” he explained. “Little Caesars pizza in between periods when I was sitting on the bench and when Ozzie was playing; I’d get a little hungry and go in the back room and get some pizza.”
Vernon then went on to describe the events from his perspective of March 26, 1997 that saw not only Darren McCarty extract some well-deserved revenge on villain Claude Lemieux, but also Vernon bloodying Patrick Roy at center ice.
“It started with two unusual guys, Peter Forsberg and Igor Larioonov starting the fight, but it was pre-up to what happened with Lemieux and Draper the year before. These guys are fighting and I’m looking over and thinking it won’t be much, there’s nothing to that, they’ll just hit each other and move on. And then, it broke out a bit. Everyone was scrambling around, and then Darren targeted Lemieux because we have a short memory. I’m sitting in net just enjoying a front row seat and thinking nothing of it.
Then, all of a sudden, Patrick Roy jumps in and him and Brendan Shanahan collide. I’m like, ‘Oh no, that means I have to leave my net'”. I skated to center ice and I’m already fatigued at that point – the first guy I grabbed was Adam Foote, who looked at me and started laughing. I was like ‘Whatever, I’m just here’. Roy kind of jumped me from behind and I squared up with him and started going at it. I caught him with a couple lefts and cut him over his eye, and that was it – but I’d never been so exhausted in my life.”
The full interview can be viewed below:
"That's a memorable day for me – I get in a fight with Patrick Roy and I win my 300th victory as a goaltender."

YMCA is one of these well-known songs with a silly move. I encounter this kind of music everywhere, in Germany, in England, USA and even Costa Rican guys know these. Who knows if Lady Gaga will one day move up to one of those. Madonna definitely made it - she sang classics that cross decades.
Which songs do you listen to that you're maybe even ashamed of sometimes? The macarena is probably the most ridiculous song that people (mostly with a bit of alcohol) love to dance. At least English people do. We have a night called "Big Bad Cheese" - it took me a year to figure out that it's an ironic title commenting on the cheesy music they play there. The macarena is a weekly special. YMCA not so much, though I'd have loved to do the moves. I'm lucky though, because it's played quite often in Germany.
I do listen to what I heard growing up with my Beatles loving parents. Was surprised to see during a flashback party that I knew the words to all lot of Doors, CCR, and Johnny Cash songs....huh? Subliminal love of the classics I guess. Edge of Your Seat Romance
The songs I was surprised to know the words to and to enjoy now are by Ace of Base. I used to harass a friend (jokingly, of course) for liking them, yet somehow I picked it all up over the years. Whoops! I made sure to call and tell her so she could make fun of me. Turnabout and all that.
My classics go back a bit further to late 60s early 70s. Can't think of any that I would say I'm ashamed of, but I still do get a kick out of the old disco hits and such and I own some of the disco collections and hits albums--the BeeGees being a big favorite. Also enjoy Abba's music very much. But not one much for dancing or doing special moves.
Nothing can replace the song made famous by 4 men in Halloween costumes! I would have to say an 90's, terrible pop-band music is my guilty pleasure to sing to. After all, who doesn't want to scream "Quit playing games with my heart?"

A Hiking I will go!
Trip Start Sep 06, 2008
25Trip End Oct 29, 2008
Map your own trip!
Show trip route
I got to Cinque Terre at 2 am, and everywhere was closed. In Italy, most places close from 1 pm in the afternono until 4 pm so the workers can have a siesta and live. Most Italians work 3-4 hours a day and enjoy their lives at home or on the beach! I lazied around on the beach all day as it was about 26 degrees. I could not believe the beautiful colour of the ocean here. It is that same blue colour of the lakes in the Canadian Rockies. Simply marvelous.
Today, I hiked the 5 villages of Cinque Terre and it was a 10 km hike up and down steep clilfs. There are some interesting historical stores of each small village such as pirate raids in the 1500s by the Turkish pirates, or that one of the small villages that had less that 500 people had the worlds best water polo team that practised in the harbour until the international water polo board determined that all water polo must be played in pools. Many young italians came here to hide when Hitler conscripted them to fight in WWI and they became freedom fighters. There are also lots of bunkers used by the Germans here when they were in control. I traveled with a friend I met from Britain, so I had nice company. The hiking paths were verry narrow and dangerous, but it was filled with beautiful views of each town that was somehow build on the cliffs beside the seas. The hike took about 7 hours, as we spend some time in each village exploring.
It is my last night in Italy, so I am going to indulge in the biggest gelato I can find. I love the free sampling of the flabours as well. Yummy!
Love Always and Forever,

With the devastation caused by recent wildfires in California, many homeowners are wondering is there anything I can do to protect my house and garden, or must I simply concede all I own to the fire?
While wildfires rage beyond the capacities of what the average person can do to protect against complete scorched earth, there are some precautions one can take that will allow their property to fare slightly better than others.
Here are some simple ways to give your home and garden a fighting chance.
First, we’ll look at what can be done outdoors so that those lawns and gardens are salvagble after the smoke clears.
One of the best things you can do that can protect both your yard and subsequently your home is to clear the property of dry brush. From your home on out, comb the yard for any sort of debris that looks like fire food. This means leaves, downed trees, and general brush.
This stuff is highly flammable and keeping it somewhere on your property is an invitation for nearby fires to head your way. If you have no real choice or you live in a wooded area, be sure to at least create some sort of clearance from your home to the wood line where you do any and all dumping of debris.
Before that brush gets to the ground, it starts out as dead and dying leaves and branches on the various vegetation you have on your property. You can do a lot to keep your yard clear of dry brush, and thus protect your home, if you are doing a thorough pruning once a year.
Not to mention, ensuring trees, shrubs, and other vegetation is not overgrown will allow for firefighters to work more easily in the area should a fire take a turn towards your yard.
Yes, that’s right. Fire resistant plants.
While no plant is completely fire resistant, there are a good bunch of perennial flowers that are safer for areas at high risk of fire exposure. The best part is that most are fairly common as far as perennials go and can be found at any local gardening center or hardware store.
If you have a real green thumb, it is likely that you already have some sort of irrigation system in place for the purposes of watering your yard and garden. An irrigation system does not only mean you will have easy access to water should you need it.
A well watered lawn and garden will also dry out to the point of burning much more slowly than plant life that is starved of water.
Now that you have set up a perimeter in your defense against wildfire, let’s look at what we can do to secure the house itself.
Unfortunately, closing the doors and windows is just one piece of the puzzle in terms of sealing your home completely. You house has many vents and openings at various points throughout that lead to the outside.
These have a myriad of functions, but the important thing is you know where they are and have a plan to seal them off if a fire is approaching. This will ensure not even a small ember enters the house, potentially setting fire to the home’s interior.
Both on the roof and on the house! It is often difficult for homeowners to demonstrate any agency in whether or not their home features cedar. Many homes are outfitted with cedar shakes, both for roofs and sidings, and replacement can be quite expensive.
That being said, if you live in an area where risk of wildfire is great, and you have the opportunity to make a change, opt for a brick, fiber cement, or stucco. You can use a fire retardant underlayment for even more fire protection.
For roofs, asphalt shakes are most common and are fine, but tile or steel are your best bet. Plus, they will hold up longer.
Older wood windows can burn up fast in a fire. What’s more, an intense fire can heat glass to such a degree that the drapes behind the glass can actually catch. The quick fix is replacing conventional drapes with a more heat resistant product.
As for the windows themselves, smaller, more compact individual units will hold up to fire better than large windows. You can also invest in some non-combustible shutters that can be easily closed if a fire is approaching.
For those who are either building or remodeling a new home in a high risk area, you are at an advantage. There is a lot that can be done early on in a project that can improve your home’s chances of holding up to a wildfire by a large degree.
First, think about access to the home. There should be an easy way for emergency vehicles to get close to your property in case of a fire.
In the design of the structure itself, avoid complex shapes or bump outs. These designs create corners that act as hotspots where embers can gather outside your home.
Also, consider some sort of reserve water source like rain barrels or a well that can be accessed from outside the home.
While ultimately mother nature typically wins in wildfires, you do not have to acquiesce to the idea that if a fire were to rage through your neighborhood you are losing everything you have built.
With these yard and home precautions in mind, you have a good chance of salvaging your home and protecting the place where you and your family will make your lives.

Cities around the United States are coming under pressure to scrutinise policing technology
By Avi Asher-Schapiro
NEW YORK, June 17 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - As pressure mounts to address police brutality and racism, California's Santa Cruz is poised to become the first U.S. city to ban predictive policing - despite headquartering the firm that pioneered the technology.
Used by police forces across the United States for almost a decade, PredPol Inc - short for predictive policing - relies on an algorithm to analyse police records and identify crime-ridden areas to determine when and where officers patrol.
But critics says it reinforces racist patterns of policing - low-income, ethnic minority neighbourhoods have historically been overpoliced so the data shows them as crime hotspots, leading to the deployment of more police to those areas.
"We have technology that could target people of colour in our community - it's technology that we don't need," Justin Cummings, the seaside city's first male African-American mayor, who proposed the ban last year, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"This is something that targets people who are like me," said Cummings, who made headlines this month for kneeling beside Santa Cruz police chief Andy Mills to protest the death of George Floyd in police custody, which sparked global outrage.
PredPol did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
On its website, PredPol said that its technology helps police fight crime and that Santa Cruz police reported a 19% reduction in burglaries since implementing its programme while Los Angeles Police saw a 25% fall.
"PredPol's software technology does not pose any personal privacy or profiling concerns," the company said on its website.
"PredPol does not collect, upload, analyse or in any way involve any information about individuals or populations and their characteristics."
Across the United States, changes are being made to curb police violence and racial injustice, including bans on neck holds and "no-knock" warrants to forcibly enter homes and calls to defund police departments and for the use of body cameras. A number of technology firms, including Amazon and IBM, said this month they would limit police use of facial recognition software, after a two-year battle with civil liberties activists concerned that inaccurate matches could lead to unjust arrests.
Cummings said he plans soon to sign into law a ban on predictive policing and facial recognition technology - which can misidentify people with darker skin, raising fears of harassment - passed in March by a Santa Cruz council committee.
"It's high time we really step back and honestly assess the impact policing technology has on our communities," he said.
Santa Cruz's move could prompt other cities to follow suit amid growing criticism of predictive policing's racial bias, said activists working to stop law enforcement using it.
About 35 miles (56 km) south of Silicon Valley, the Santa Cruz Police Department rolled out PredPol in 2011, becoming one of the first forces in the nation to use advanced predictive algorithms to fight crime.
"Over the years, Santa Cruz became closely associated with this technology, and played a major role exporting it around the country, which is part of why the mayor's legislation is so significant," said Matt Cagle, a lawyer with the ACLU.
Critics of predictive policing say Santa Cruz has been central its expansion, piloting PredPol's software and being used in the firm's marketing materials, while ex-city officials have gone on to join PredPol and pitch its technology elsewhere.
Police spokesman Zach Friend, who helped test PredPol in Santa Cruz, went on to serve on its board, and former mayor Ryan Coonerty worked as PredPol's director for government relations.
Other cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago and New Orleans, have rolled back their use of predictive policing, but no other city has gone as far as Santa Cruz and explicitly banned it, said Cagle, who is based in Northern California.
"One important response to current calls for police reform is to ban dangerous and racially discriminatory surveillance technology, like predictive policing," he said.
Although PredPol does not say which police forces it has contracts with, its website says the technology is being used to help protect one in 33 people in the United States.
Critics say PredPol's software encourages punitive overpolicing, by deploying officers to arrest people for low-level property crimes like burglary, theft and shoplifting.
"It's propagating racism," said Cathy O'Neil, an award-winning mathematician who audits algorithms for bias.
Using drug crime data from Oakland, California, PredPol's algorithm would deploy police to ethnic minority neighbourhoods at double the rate of white neighbourhoods, a 2016 study in the Royal Statistical Society's Significance magazine found.
As crime data is generated by the police, it does not accurately represent where crime actually occurs and predictive policing simply reproduces those policing patterns, O'Neil said.
"They want to confuse people by using math - and make it seem like if you aren't a data scientist you won't be able to understand it," said Jamie Garcia, an organiser with Stop LAPD Spying Coalition.
The activist group campaigned from 2016 for Los Angeles to stop using PredPol. In April, police in the city - where Rodney King's death led to riots in 1992 - said they had abandoned the tool due to financial constraints caused by the new coronavirus.
Santa Cruz police chief Mills, who took over the department in 2017, said he stopped using PredPol in the first six months on the job and he had not seen a significant change in crime rates as a result.
"I don't want to be in a place where we are targeting people of colour based on a computer system," he said.

The monsoon season is all about increased humidity and rainfall. It can not only make our skin oily and leave us with acne, but also have an impact on our digestive system. Digestive issues are quite common during the rainy season due to what we eat and drink. So, it is important to follow the right monsoon diet to keep your gut healthy and stop making diet mistakes!
To know all about gut problems and diet in monsoon, Health Shots reached out to Varsha Gorey, Clinical Nutritionist, Apollo Hospitals Navi Mumbai.
Causes of tummy problems during monsoon
Some people complain of having digestive issues during monsoon. Here are a few reasons:
1. Contaminated water and food
Monsoon rains can contaminate water sources and lead to the spread of waterborne diseases like typhoid and cholera. Consuming contaminated water or food can cause gastrointestinal infections, says Gorey.
2. Increased bacterial growth
The humid conditions during monsoon create the perfect environment for the growth of bacteria. Improper handling, storage or inadequate cooking of food can lead to bacterial infections, causing digestive issues.
3. Poor food hygiene
During monsoon, it is common to see people eating street food. But those street food stalls might not maintain proper hygiene practices such as hand washing or food storage. Consuming contaminated street food can contribute to digestive problems.
4. Reduced immunity
Changes in weather and fluctuating temperatures during monsoon can affect our immune system. An immune system that is compromised can make people more susceptible to infections, including those affecting the digestive tract, says the expert.
5. Increased consumption of fried and oily foods
People often crave hot and fried foods during the rainy season. When you eat too much of fried and oily foods, it can lead to indigestion, bloating, stomach discomfort, abdominal pain and acidity.
Monsoon diet mistakes to avoid
There are some diet mistakes that people often make during the monsoon season, which can ultimately contribute to gut problems.
1. Consuming contaminated food and water
One of the biggest mistakes is unknowingly consuming contaminated food and water. It is crucial to use potable water for drinking and cooking.
2. Overindulging in fried and oily foods
Having pakodas or samosas once in a while is okay. But many people overindulge in fried and oily foods during the monsoon season. Gorey says that these foods are not only high in unhealthy fats, but also heavy and difficult to digest. Excessive consumption can lead to indigestion, bloating, and other digestive discomforts.
3. Neglecting fruits and vegetables
Since street foods and fried snacks are found in abundance, people often neglect their intake of fruits and vegetables during monsoon. This can result in inadequate fiber and nutrient intake, affecting digestion and overall health. Including a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet can provide essential nutrients, antioxidants and dietary fiber, which are beneficial for gut health.
4. Ignoring food hygiene
Many people overlook this aspect and consume street food or eat at unhygienic food stalls. Lack of proper handwashing, contaminated utensils and unclean cooking conditions can introduce harmful bacteria and lead to digestive problems. It is crucial to prioritise food hygiene and opt for freshly cooked meals prepared in clean and hygienic environments.
5. Inadequate hydration
The weather might be cooler, but humidity levels are high. So, people might still lose fluids through perspiration. Failing to drink an adequate amount of water can lead to dehydration and affect digestion. It is important to stay hydrated by drinking enough water, herbal teas and fluids like soups to support optimal gut function, suggests the expert.
How to maintain gut health in monsoon?
For healthy monsoon diet, the expert suggests to focus on whole grains. Brown rice, oats and whole wheat bread are some of the healthy options. They provide dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes a healthy gut. Also, choose lean proteins like chicken, fish, legumes and tofu. Proteins are essential for tissue repair, immune function, and overall growth.
While you know what to include in your monsoon diet, make sure to manage portion sizes. Eating large meals can only put stress on your digestive system and lead to indigestion. So, when your body tells you to stop eating, pay attention.

""My feeling is this accident rate is epidemic," said Jim Hall, a former chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board.The concerns for the safety of people in the highly congested downtown Chicago area have been voiced previously. The statistics are staggering:
Investigators have just started looking into Wednesday's crash and have not reached conclusions on what factors played a role. But the accident put a new spotlight on a disturbing trend. Lax government regulation and fierce competition for customers have created a disincentive for helicopter transport companies to invest in advanced pilot training and safety equipment to protect flight crews, medical personnel and patients, the aviation authorities said.
The first step to improve safety on medical helicopters should be to immediately require two pilots on all medical helicopter flights to end a chain of accidents—15 so far this year, experts said. The safety board has called on the Federal Aviation Administration to implement reforms over the last decade, including a two-pilot requirement.In light of these data, the question now becomes what safety requirements will the FAA and City of Chicago impose for helicopters landing on rooftops in the highly congested downtown area?
Like Wednesday night's crash, 90 of the 193 accidents occurred between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., a period that authorities call the "back side of the clock" when fatigue is often a mitigating factor. In addition, 47 of the accidents involved the helicopters hitting obstacles, according to the database, which is drawn from government and industry records.

JEDWARD were bouncing with joy as they made their way down the stage towards the Celebrity Big Brother entrance – sadly, the crowd weren’t quite as happy to see them.
As the twins – John and Edward Grimes – walked towards Emma Willis (or in Edward’s case, slipped), the baying crowd’s boos became louder.
When they began to talk to Emma with the music quietened, the boos became even more evident.
After a few attempts of getting the crowd to chant “Jedward”, they did manage to get some of them going.
But a few began calling for them to get “off” the stage.
One of the twins was even distracted by one of the crowd in a pink jacket was was chanting "off" and flipped two fingers at the Grimes brothers as they pointed him out.
The twins were the surprise addition to the house on tonight's episode.
They asked the crowd whether they were excited that Jedward were entering the house, to which they got a few cheers but a chorus of boos.
Earlier today we exclusively revealed that the twins would be entering the CBB house on Friday night.
An insider told The Sun online: “Love them or hate them, Jedward are compulsive viewing.
“And while some of the housemates are going to be familiar with them and what they’re like, the chances are the Americans will be in for a shock.

Lufthansa has temporarily canceled its flights between Tel Aviv and Frankfurt, ahead of a four-day pilot strike at Germany’s largest airline poised to start on Monday.
Germany is bracing for major disruptions in travel if the pilots go through with their plan to strike from Monday through Thursday. The airline, which has already canceled around 800 flights, estimates the strike could cost it as much as 100 million.
Lufthansa normally operates two round trips a day on the Tel Aviv to Frankfurt route. The airline has canceled its evening flights from Monday through to Thursday. Morning flight connections between Tel Aviv and Frankfurt will operate as usual, except for Wednesday, when all its flights between Tel Aviv and Frankfurt are set to be canceled.
Lufthansa said it expects no disruptions on its route between Tel Aviv and Munich that operates on Tuesday and Thursday.
Passengers booked on flights from Tel Aviv to Frankfurt between February 22 and February 24 will be able to make changes to their booking, without any charge, provided that the tickets were issued before February 18 and are scheduled for travel before May 31. Updated information on the planned strike and the flight cancelations is available at www.lufthansa.com. From Monday morning, Lufthansa Israel will be operating a special hotline for customers here.
Over the weekend, Lufthansa was seeking to head off a massive strike by offering pilots job security until 2012 if they return to talks instead of walking off their jobs.
Lufthansa board member
Stefan Lauer told the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung on Sunday that the airline was prepared to guarantee the jobs of its more than 4,000 pilots for two years if they return to negotiations.
Lufthansa has already canceled about 800 international flights ahead of the strike and is scrambling to re-book travelers on partner airlines or trains.
“Around two-thirds of Lufthansa flights affected by the strike have been canceled as a preemptive measure,” the airline said in a statement over the weekend. “Lufthansa is doing everything in its power to inform its customers as soon as possible and offer them alternative travel options.”
The union is urging some 4,500 pilots who fly for Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cargo and Germanwings to walk off their jobs from February 22 to 25, and to press the airline for increased job security for pilots in Germany and abroad.
“We can talk immediately about the issue of job security for Lufthansa pilots when Cockpit [the pilots’ trade union] drops its unreasonable and legally impossible demand for the extension of German labor conditions abroad,” said Lufthansa board member Christoph Franz in a statement.
Cockpit accuses the airline of outsourcing more and more flights to pilots employed by other companies, who work for less pay and under worse conditions.
Also Saturday, German Transport Minister Peter Ramsauer warned the strike could seriously damage the German economy.
“It can not be that the largest German air fleet is grounded for four days,” Ramsauer told the Bild am Sonntag weekly.AP contributed to this report.

As the old saying goes, “Defense wins championships”.
Well, the San Diego State Aztecs have all the defense.
Heading into the final minute of the game, the No. 25 Utah Utes (1-1) only managed to put up 38 points against the Aztecs (2-0). Thanks to some sloppy play at the end by both teams, Utah managed to get that total up to 49, but still came up four points shy, losing 53-49.
Both teams shot only 32% from the floor on Tuesday night in Viejas Arena, but SDSU’s +7 free throw margin, and +8 advantage in steals led to an Aztecs’ win.
J.J. O’Brien led SDSU with a double-double, scoring 12 points and grabbed 11 boards. The senior from Rancho Cucamonga will need to continue to be a big part of this team if the Aztecs are going to make a deep run in the tournament and reach the school’s first-ever Elite Eight.
The most talked about Aztec heading into the season has been junior forward Winston Shepard. Shepard got into a bit of foul trouble early, and only scored six points in 17 minutes played. Arizona transfer Angelo Chol did a good job coming off the bench for Shepard, grabbing five rebounds and pouring in eight points in 24 minutes.
Utah enters the season as the Pac-12’s most-likely candidate to be the second best team in the conference behind Arizona. But the Utes will need to show a little more than what they showed in San Diego. Just like the football team, the Utes struggled everywhere on offense. Junior guard Brandon Taylor was the team’s leading scorer with just nine points. Jakob Poeltl finished the game with 12 rebounds, with Chris Reyes bringing in nine of his own.
The highlight of the game was when Bill Walton declared that San Diego State was ending Utah’s bid for an undefeated season. Because reaching 1-0 is extremely close to going undefeated for the entire year.
Next up for San Diego State is a home game against Cal-State Bakersfield on Thursday before they head out to Hawaii for the EA Sports Maui Invitational, where a possible matchup against No. 2 Arizona awaits. Utah returns to Salt Lake City to take on the UC-Riverside Highlanders this upcoming Friday night. The next big game for Utah is December 3rd when No. 11 Wichita State comes to Salt Lake City.

Sterilization is extremely important to the infection control process and biological indicators are critical to know if the sterilizer is effectively working to standards. Sterilization loads need to monitored to confirm the sterilization conditions were met, thereby ensuring the sterilization process was effective and the items in the sterilizer were sterilized correctly. Sterilization monitoring is critical to infection and the CDC recommends each sterilizer be tested at least weekly, some instruments, devices require sterilization monitoring more frequently.
Chemical indicators and biological indicators are the two primary ways to monitor sterilization effectiveness. Chemical indicators use chemicals on small strips or on tape that change color to show specific parameters were met. These parameters could be meeting a specific temperature or exposure to gases like Ethylene Oxide (EtO/EO). Some chemical indicators are multi-parameter and they monitor 2-3 measurements.
Biological indicators are generally considered the highest standard for monitoring the effectiveness of the sterilization process. Biological indicators use bacterial spores that spores are resistant to the sterilization process. These spores are enclosed in a smaller container that is placed inside the sterilizer. After going through the sterilization process the biological indicators are incubated to determine if any bacterial spores survived. After incubation, if all spores are killed it shows the sterilization process was effective and the medical items in the sterilizer should have zero or significantly fewer microorganisms on them.

If you are searching for the top online slot machines, kawbet casino you have likely come across a wealth of baji live information regarding this online casino game. From strategies to earn lots of money playing it to the many games you can play you’ve probably read all of it already. It’s time to learn how to find the best online slots. It’s something you don’t want to miss. The final result? Here is a listing of the most popular online slots that you can play for a lot of enjoyment online.
There are a variety of factors that influence your decision about an online casino when you’re looking for the most reliable. The kind of casino you pick is one of them. If you wish to play in a real money casino, you need to believe that you will get your money’s worth. You can only play in an online casino with the real money you have deposited.
Apart from the actual slot machines You should also look at the bonuses offered by the casino. You may get exclusive bonuses , such as a welcome bonus. These bonuses offer players the chance to try their luck without risk. Welcome bonuses are an excellent option for those who are a player who lives at home and doesn’t need to take any risk. You’ll get some cash as a welcome bonus so that you don’t feel guilty about spending your hard-earned money.
Additionally, you’ll need to examine the games offered on the slots site. Are they offering multiple coins or a single one? Look for the slots that offer the highest number of free spins. If there are only two or three coins in a single machine, it’s likely that you’re playing one that isn’t offering reliable payouts.
In addition to the amount of coins, it is important to be sure to check the percentage of payout. Since many online casinos pay the same amount each time, a high payout percentage is essential. The casino boosts the value of the jackpot and gives players a better chance of winning it back when they hit the jackpot.
There are numerous online casinos that claim that they can offer the most lucrative payouts. Not all online casinos can provide the services they promise. This is why you should only play with casinos that offer the security of a online slots site that is real money. When looking for a casino that has high payout rates there are a variety of factors you should consider. It is crucially important to read reviews about these casinos. Reviews are often written by players just like you who have experienced gambling at the casino.
Casinos online that provide the best bonus and spins must include a range of features. There are bonuses like high-roller slot machines, and freeroll slots. Also, you must verify whether the bonus is present in all your games. It is also important to ensure that you have easy access to spins.
Don’t be a fool and play in casinos that offer payment options that will allow you to withdraw your winnings. This is essential because the majority of winners do not want their winnings be deposited with the counter for payout. Additionally, you need to make sure that the bonuses and spins you will receive can match the amount of your winnings. If you’re still not sure about which online slots casino to play, then you might look into playing at live dealer casinos.

Dogs are truly the most loyal companions who will stick with their owners till the very end.
A group of loyal doggos were recently pictured standing by their homeless friend even though MPKJ authorities approached the scene to put the dogs away and deal with them accordingly.
In a photo shared on Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar Malaysia (SAFM), five poor doggos could be seen surrounding the homeless man, clearly torn between their loyalty to their owner and the fear of being taken away by MPKJ.
According to SAFM‘s post, MPKJ is running an ongoing operation to catch stray dogs across Kajang and it is their job to put these poor helpless animals away. “How can they do such a thing. This old homeless man only has the love of these dogs left. Even though they knew they were going to be caught, they still refused to leave their owner in the end,” penned a similar post on Malaysian Independent Animal Rescue.
When MPKJ took to their own Facebook page to post about the operation, many outraged netizens flooded the comments section, questioning their humanity.
“This is so freaking heartbreaking, stop being this brutal to stray dogs. This is seriously unacceptable, the way to solve this issue has never been determined. And you guys still have the guts to publish this kind of pictures on social media? How cruel, how brutal.”
Another netizen was shocked that MPKJ authorities prioritised taking the dogs away instead of helping the homeless man. “The homeless should be prioritised first. Help him, don’t infringe on his rights. What if those dogs belonged to him? Why didn’t they help the homeless man?”
One netizen questioned why these poor creatures needed to be put away when they mean no harm. “The dogs also want to live. Those who protect humans and choose not to run means they’re harmless. Why so cruel?”

You’ve probably heard of the Louvre in Paris, but have you heard of the Louvre Abu Dhabi? It opened in November 2017 as part of an expansion on Saadiyat Island.
On the island, plans are underway to build a number of stunning cultural centers. The plans, which include several museums and a performing arts space, have been drafted by some of the world’s best architects.
You might wonder why a space would take the step of naming itself after the most famous and perhaps most beloved art gallery on the planet. The reason is that the Louvre Abu Dhabi is part of a 30-year partnership with the French Government and enjoys a special relationship with the famous gallery.
There are already several outstanding works on loan from the Parisian Louvre and other French galleries such as the Musee d’Orsay, and it is expected there will be many more over the years to come.
The Architecture of the Louvre Abu Dhabi
The Louvre in Abu Dhabi is a direct contrast to the elaborate architectural style of its Parisian cousin. So as to blend in with its ultra-modern surroundings, the Louvre Abu Dhabi is sleek and sophisticated, described as a “floating dome.”
In light of its aims to blend the East and the West, the Louvre Abu Dhabi’s French architect, Jean Nouvel, has drawn much inspiration from the Middle East. Its web-patterned ceiling allows for speckled sunshine to stream into the gallery and is said to represent sunshine peering through the leaves of a date tree. It is a truly remarkable sight and feat of engineering.
Famous Works of Art at the Louvre Abu Dhabi
While the building itself is stunning, arguably, it is what is inside that is even more culturally and historically important. There are almost 8,000 square meters of galleries within the building, housing works from ancient to modern times.
Some of the most impressive artifacts date back to the ancient Egyptian Empire, including an imposing statue of Ramesses II, which is decorated in hieroglyphics.
The more recent works are no less impressive and perhaps even more culturally significant. Currently, the Museum houses a stunning selection of pieces of the world’s great artists, including Vincent Van Gogh’s Self Portrait (1887) and Leonardo da Vinci’s La Belle Ferroniere (1490 – 1495).
Perhaps keeping with Abu Dhabi’s reputation as a multicultural metropolis, the exhibitions are from all over the world. The world’s religions inspire many, and each tells a fantastic story about the world.
Will It Be as Famous as Paris?
Whether the Louvre Abu Dhabi will ever be as famous or as widely respected as its big sister in Paris remains to be seen. But for now, it is undoubtedly an incredible addition to this seemingly unstoppable city and a must-go destination when you fly Emirates to Dubai (Abu Dhabi is only an hour and a half away by car!).
Louvre Abu Dhabi Entrance Tickets Cost
Tickets are 63 AED (free for children under 13 years). The gallery is open seven days per week, from 10 am – 8 pm (Saturday – Wednesday) and 10 am – 10 pm (Thursday and Friday). Purchase tickets online at louvreabudhabi.ae/en/buy-ticket


The researchers suggest that microbes isolated from the rest of the world since the ice closed over them, some 35 million years ago, have kept busy digesting organic matter and making methane—a much more effective greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
If global warming causes the ice sheets to retreat in the coming decades or centuries, the researchers warn, some of the methane could belch into the atmosphere, amplifying the warming.
Wow...interesting. However, read a little further in the National Geographic piece and you stumble on cold hard reality.
Jemma Wadham of the University of Bristol, England, and her colleagues have not actually detected methane-producing microbes under the Antarctic ice sheet. They haven't detected methane either—though they are participating in drilling projects that could do so later this year.
Just so we're clear. This hasn't been proven. It's a theory. But, that doesn't stop the hysterical alerts from flying.
Wadham and her colleagues calculate there could be anywhere from 70 to 390 billion tons of carbon in hydrates under the East Antarctic ice sheet, and a few tens of billions of tons under West Antarctica. (The methane there may have been made by geothermal heating of sediments rather than microbes.)
The cynic in me wants to point out that this would be a wonderful way to try and influence various countries to avoid drilling for natural resources in Antarctica. Too late on trying to influence the Russians, however.
Russia has been busy with oil exploration in Antarctica. Interestingly enough, they drilled down over four (4) kilometers into a sub-glacial lake that has not been exposed to the surface for nearly 10 to 20 million years. Guess what...no methane.

The Italy international is likely to command a huge fee, with reports stating he’d most likely become the most expensive defender of all time if he were to leave Turin.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is said to have made it clear he wants the funds to make major moves in the transfer market this summer as he feels his current squad would not be equipped to deal with the demands of both the Premier League and Champions League.
Bonucci was strongly linked with the Blues last summer and Conte’s presence at Stamford Bridge sees them remain the favourites to snap him up if he moves this year, according to Yahoo Sport.
The report adds that the 29-year-old’s relationship with Allegri is now at such a low point that he won’t continue at Juve if the rumoured Arsenal and Barcelona target is still in charge next season.
Allegri snapped at Bonucci at the end of a recent match, causing the two to swear at each other in a heated debate on the touchline.
The Italian tactician has been strongly linked with an exit amid a row over a new contract, and Arsenal fans may now be even more desperate to land him as it could help prevent their rivals landing one of the best centre-backs in world football.

With a CommSec Share Trading Account, you're able to stay up to date with the latest news and releases as they happen. You can access reports, videos and analysis from CommSec analysts directly within the platform.
CommSec allows you to invest in overseas markets by opening a CommSec International Securities Trading Account. Within the one account, clients have the ability to buy shares in US companies such as Apple or Google along with global stocks and ETFs listed in 25 overseas markets.
CommSec Share Trading Account holders can log in and place trades through a number of portals. Trades can be placed online via a web browser, through the CommSec mobile app for iPhone and Android or simply by calling up and placing an order over the phone. Even without Internet access, you have the peace of mind that comes with having phone access to the CommSec office.
Depending on which CommSec trading account you choose, you'll be able to trade in a number of different markets:
Through CommSec you can open an Australian share trading account and an international share trading account.
In terms of trade settlement, you can use either a CommSec CDIA account, your own account or you can trade through margin loans. This is what you can expect:
If you choose to conduct trades using the CDIA account, you'll benefit from lower brokerage fees and no account keeping fees. Plus, you can earn tiered interest on funds in your account and you have access to all free live trading tools and market research.
If you choose to trade with CommSec using your own cash account you’ll still have access to all the same tools, however you’ll be charged a higher brokerage fee (starting at $29.95).
If you choose to trade using a margin loan, you get access to the same benefits such as free trading tools and live market data however you'll also get access to risk management tools and portfolio monitoring.
A broker the size of CommSec is naturally expected to have a high level of customer support access. If you're faced with queries or problems, you have a number of choices:
Overall, CommSec customers can expect a reasonably high level of customer support for an online broker. The only disappointing feature when it comes to CommSec's customer service is the fact that it doesn't have a live chat option. The live form on its website isn't actually live and it can take one to two days for a response to come through via email. That's frustrating for clients who have short questions that could easily be answered on the spot by a live chat representative.
There's a few basic fees and brokerage charges you need to be aware of when using CommSec:
You have a few options when it comes to paying for your share trades through CommSec. When you buy shares, settlement must occur within two business days – this is called "T+2". This means your funds will need to be available by this date or you'll incur a fee. Options are:
When you're ready to open a CommSec Share Trading Account, click the open account button on the CommSec website. You'll be faced with the following screen asking whether you'd like to trade with a CommSec cash account or your own cash account:
Selecting the first option to trade using CommSec's cash account will give you a new CDIA account which essentially means you get cheaper brokerage fees. You can choose to trade from an account outside of the CBA, however you'll be hit with higher fees. You can read more about what these options mean in our CDIA guide. Once you've selected which account you'd prefer to use, follow the four-step process:
In order to complete the account opening process, have the following documentation handy:

At some point in the 1980’s John Mellencamp sang a song entitled “Hurt so good”. I’ve often thought that this is one of those pointless, bizarre songs that echos in our heads because we hear it playing on Muzak and in elevators. Strangely enough, today I was contemplating the spiritual connotations of this song. I have read the lyrics to it and frankly have no idea as to what the song is about. I’m assuming it is about the pangs of sorrow that we have all felt in a love relationship but that love is worth taking the risk,however to the pure all things are pure and maybe it means something entirely different.I began to think about how in our lives we do absolutely everything that we can to avoid pain. There are prevention groups and clubs for every ailment and mental disease. I had a full time job as a “prevention specialist” and many others in the medical and mental health field hold this same title. Are we trying so hard to put ourselves into a bubble that we are missing out on valuable life experiences. Studies are now showing that our excessive use of anti-bacterial hand gel to prevent disease and infection has done nothing but breed strands of super bacterias that we have no anti-biotics to treat.
Eventually we are all faced with situations in life that we would much rather avoid. Jesus Christ prayed for the cup to pass from him as the time was coming for him to die on the cross. However, just a few short scriptures later we find, “And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but He received it not.”— Mark 15:23 Jesus chose to not have anything to block the pain and suffering of the sins of the world that he felt via the nails in his hands in feet. He chose to feel every ounce of the misery and grief from both the physical pain and the emotional/spiritual pain of bearing our burdens.
This train of thought has inspired me to challenge everyone to not live in a bubble. Don’t try to prevent all suffering in your life. Get your hands dirty by helping the hopeless and getting involved in someones life. It is true that the people that disappoint and hurt you the most are the ones that you have poured excessive time into, but you can’t let that stop you from affecting your world. Also, instead of always praying for God to intervene on every situation according to your choosing, learn to truly say from the bottom of your heart and mean it, “Thy will be done Lord”. Jesus put away the thoughts of comfort and thoughts of himself for the will of God to be accomplished. What would happen if we all did the same? Remember, “sometimes love doesn’t feel like it should.”

You are a genius! I love how you explicated the lyrics to a cheesy eighties song and found such inspiration! I’m sure the artist himself didn’t even have such profound thoughts.You continue to inspire and entertain me on a daily basis! I love you!
Dear Jessica,I have enjoyed reading your blog. I have laughed and learned so much. I hope you will continue to post new pictures, also.Love you, Sandell

Hi, my name is Dan Jones. I am originally from England but I am currently working as an international model. I love working as a model and getting in front of the camera. I work in a professional manner but also I love to have fun on a job and enjoy the experience as I believe this is conveyed through the final product and makes for a better image.
Please feel free to ask any questions as I have worked and lived with some great models who have taught me so much and I am still learning from experience and observation.
Mark Leighton - Mayhem #40314
It was a pleasure to work with you and the results are great. It so nice to work with someone that looks so good and yet is attitude-free and with an enthusiastic and professional approach.
I hope the plaudits roll in... !"
Nick - negatif - Mayhem #132015
"This guy has an amazing attitude and was really easy to work with. Rapport definitely helps on a shoot and Dan was great at taking direction and listening to my idea's. I think you have to make someone trust you to get the best out of them, and it's trust that allows great pictures to happen. Looking forward to the next shoot mate."


HTC has cleared that its latest flagship smartphone – the One M9 – will be first release in its home country, Taiwan. The smartphone will be launched there on the March 16, early next week, and should reach globally after that.
The company has confirmed that there are two One M9 variants – one is carrying 64GB in-built storage, and other comes with 32GB. Sadly, it is uncertain, if the high storage model will be available globally. Regardless, both have expandable memory via microSD card support, so storage should not be a trouble.
In Taiwan, the One M9 32GB variant will cost 21,900 TWD, which is approximately $693, while 64GB model is mere $63 costlier at 23,900 TWD (approx. $756).
HTC One M9 comes with a 5.0 inch 1080p screen, and is powered by a Snapdragon 810 chipset with an octa-core processor. The handset packs 3GB of RAM, 20MP rear shooter, 4MP UltraPixel front camera, and a 2,840 mAh battery. The One M9 runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop with Sense 7 UI on top.

Diversity In The Workplace
Our Director Jenn Lewis recently attended an event hosted by one of our funders, the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and whilst listening to the speakers responding to a question about how to make the workplace more diverse, she did a very quick mental calculation, the conclusion of which showed that CEN's own workforce appeared to buck the trend of white, male domination that exists in the corporate world and even in community-based charities. CEN is headed by a black female Director; 80% of our staff from the BAME community, 70% female, 10% LGBTQ and 80% over 50 and almost all would probably describe themselves as having come from a working-class background - including Jenn herself - which was one of the first questions that delegates at this session were asked. Jenn then went on to apply a similar calculation to the Trustees and realised that this group is 40% female and 60% from BAME communities.
Speaking after the Q&A session, Jenn mused that she hadn't given much thought to the recruitment process that she had presided over since arriving at CEN in 2017, but felt that diversity begets diversity. ‘I don't think my appointment as Director was because I'm a woman, nor because of my being black, as throughout my life neither of those have ever given me an advantage in the business world. The fact is that our workforce is pretty much representative of our clientele which is largely drawn from the BAME community and that in itself is mainly due to the disproportionality in targeting and racial profiling that continues in our schools. I'm sure that for those parents and young people, being represented by an Advocate who comes from a similar background to themselves allows some shorthand when having to explain the experiences that some have had at the hands of school authorities to people who already have some understanding of what that might feel like.’
In other words, much can be assumed in terms of prior knowledge and experience and therefore nothing is lost in translation.
‘Similarly, schools often do not understand and therefore do not take into account the diversity in relation to language, culture, heritage, backgrounds and traditions that there is among their learners, particularly those from BAME communities and as such easily assume negative intentions behind certain behaviours. But when they hear the concept of such from advocates who hail from the same or similar backgrounds, and who are able to articulate and reframe those experiences on behalf of the child and parents, it provides a broader context which allows the school to better understand actions and behaviours from the child’s and family’s perspective. This mediation function as carried out by CEN’s Advocates also applies to reframing the situation from the school's perspective to parents who, given the heat of the situation, sometimes may misunderstand the school's actions'.
Later, Jenn was approached by other attendees at the event which was held at Esmee Fairbairn’s offices in Kings Cross, who wanted to know how they could increase the diversity in their own workforce. 'I was a bit surprised but then having a London-centric perspective, it’s easy to suppose that diversity is a given. However, it doesn't take long to realise that, although a workplace may appear diverse, my previous experiences including my background in education tell me that this is often an illusion and one that shrouds many inequities in school, Senior Leadership teams, (SLT), are still overwhelmingly white and male whereas the faces of the (much lower paid) Janitorial staff team are often darker and this of course does not only apply to education.'
Jenn went on to challenge her fellow attendees to 'start with your own friendship group - how diverse are your parties and barbecues etc? It doesn't make you racist if your friends look like you - like attracts like - but who we are like shouldn’t only be a reflection of skin tone or ability but more about reflecting who we are as people. It's good to get out of our comfort zones and interact with those who don't look like, think like or share the same world view as us, because that's how we learn and grow and is key to understanding the world around us, and I think that this encourages mutual respect and social cohesion. Workplaces should be no different.'
