Pragmatic Play’s Ancient Egypt is one of the most popular online slots in the UK for many reasons. First, its simplistic yet dynamic gameplay makes it a great choice for beginner and advanced slots players alike. Second, it promises beautiful graphics and an exciting bonus game and – last but not least – it takes you on an adventure to Ancient Egypt without you even having to leave the comfort of your home!
Are you interested in learning more about why it’s worth taking this particular slot game for a few spins at The Phone Casino, a reputable online casino in the UK? Keep reading to check out our comprehensive review of this title.
Ancient Egypt is a medium- to high-volatility game, which means it tends to pay out larger wins, but less frequently. It offers an average return to player (RTP) of 96.47% with 10 paylines and is played on a standard five reels and three rows.
Ancient Egypt is a destination-themed slot game that transports you back through the mists of time to Egypt’s civilisation during Cleopatra’s reign, when gold and opulence were all the rage. Of course, you’ll be in search of riches. Once you get to the opening screen and see the shimmering gold coins behind the playing grid, it quickly becomes obvious that you’ve come to the right place.
Graphics and soundtrack
This title’s visuals are definitely one of its most notable features. The designers have opted to use gorgeous combinations of purple, red and gold to give the game an extravagant look and feel. The reels are set against the background of the entrance to a treasure-filled tomb, with gold coins and torches illuminating columns etched with hieroglyphics.
The visuals will look quite familiar if you’ve played Novomatic’s Book of Ra or any other Ancient Egyptian-inspired online slot. The main difference is this game’s glamorous vibe and strong focus on highlighting Cleopatra’s stunning beauty. Unsurprisingly, the Queen of Egypt herself is one of the most profitable symbols for you to match (promising a payout of 500x your stake when you match five on a payline). Other symbols include the Eye of Horus, the ankh cross, and Anubis, a fantastic jackal-headed ancient deity.
Along with aiming to land as many Cleopatra symbols as you can, Ancient Egypt will have you scoping out golden scarab beetles, too. This valuable beetle acts as both the game’s wild and scatter symbols. As a wild, the scarab beetle has the power to stand in place of all the game’s symbols. It’s also there to trigger exciting scatter wins and a free spins bonus round when you land three or more anywhere on the playing grid.
If the potential for scoring some big wins is why you came, you’ll undoubtedly be waiting in anticipation to give Ancient Egypt’s bonus game a go. The free spins bonus is packed with potentially profitable expanding symbols to push you closer to snagging the maximum payout of 5,000x your stake.
Once you’ve landed a minimum of three scarabs (aim for five, ideally, as this wins you 200x your stake), you’ll instantly be awarded 10 free spins, and the bonus will begin. A single symbol will be selected randomly to act as the expanding symbol, expanding to full reel height any time it lands for the duration of your free spins. Do your best to land three or more scarab beetles before the end of your spins, and you’ll get 10 more free spins (and a new expanding symbol).
If you enjoyed Ancient Egypt’s colourful theme, Egyptian Rise is another title worth exploring that’s based within the realm of this ancient civilisation. It’s a popular choice among gamers, not least because it offers 243 ways to win. From a graphics perspective, the game also puts a unique spin on the classic Egyptian styling, adding a neon twist. Another stand-out feature? It boasts an above-average RTP of 97.76%.
Another title to try is King Ramses, from Scientific Games. It’s a slot known for its free spins and Triple Shot Bonus, where you’ll be awarded either the Minor, Maxi or Major jackpot. This game has 25 fixed paylines and an RTP of 94.61%. Unlike Ancient Egypt, it’s a low-volatility slot, which means it pays out smaller amounts more frequently.
Blueprint Gaming’s Legacy of Ra Megaways is yet another Ancient Egyptian-themed online slot for you to consider (we told you this was a seriously popular slot theme!). This game’s main attraction is its whopping 15,625 ways to win and its impressive maximum payout: up to 50,000x your stake! It’s a high-volatility title with a fairly average RTP of 96.01%.

This video from the USA is called JEWS & BASEBALL – about Henry Ford (2010).
By Peter Frost in Britain:
Henry Ford: a life not for celebrating
Monday 28th October 2013
Peter Frost refuses to join those paying tribute this year to various significant dates in the life of the world’s most famous car-maker
The life and achievements of US car-maker Henry Ford is not something any right-thinking individual will want to celebrate.
Ford was born 150 years ago in 1863 in the midst of the civil war.
He left his father’s farm to take up various jobs with steam engine builders where he learnt his undoubted engineering skills.
He is often credited with inventing the motor car. He didn’t.
Ford read about Otto, Daimler and Maybach’s 1885 car in Germany and decided to copy the idea. His first two cars were built in 1896.
Then he had a few of attempts at starting an automobile manufacturing company.
It took three attempts losing a huge amount of his backer’s money and falling out with them along the way.
Ford would make his reputation and his first fortune with the Model T which was introduced on October 1 1908.
The car was very simple to drive and easy and cheap to repair. It was much cheaper than other cars at the time, selling for just $825 in 1908, about £15,000 at today’s prices, and the price went down every year.
It had the steering wheel on the left, which every other company soon copied.
The entire engine and transmission were out of sight — the four cylinders were cast in a solid block and the suspension used two semi-elliptic springs. Many of these features are still present on US cars and lorries today.
Sales passed 250,000 in 1914. By 1916, as the price dropped to $360 (£5,000 in today’s money) over half the cars sold in the US were Model T Fords.
What Ford had done was make cheaper and more available motorcars. By the time Model T production ended in 1927 Ford had built over 15 million and the model T was the commonest car on US roads.
Eventually Ford would build an automobile manufacturing empire that at its peak made a third of the entire world’s motorcar production.
This year, it is said, marks the centenary of Ford inventing the production line and many are celebrating the birth of that dehumanising creation.
In fact Ford didn’t invent that either. But he did much to sentence millions of workers to a mind-numbing lifetime of work on the conveyor belt.
Ford was actually a despicable individual whose real passion was his hatred of Jews.
He promulgated his rabid anti-semitism in a series of writings called The International Jew: The World’s Foremost Problem.
This nasty piece of work first appeared as a series of magazine articles and then as a book. It is still in print and still sold by various organisations including the American Nazi Party.
Ford believed there was a Jewish conspiracy to control the world. He blamed Jewish financiers for fomenting World War I so that they could profit from supplying both sides.
He accused Jewish automobile dealers of conspiring to undermine Ford Company sales policies.
Ford’s racist right-wing rantings prompted Adolf Hitler to call the US industrialist his “inspiration.”
The nazi fuehrer kept a life-size portrait of Ford next to his desk in his Munich headquarters.
Ford spent much of his fortune promoting his extremist views. He printed and promoted the Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion, now well-known as a malicious forgery created by the Russian tsar’s secret service at the turn of the century.
Ford and other fascists claimed it was the Jewish conspiracy’s blueprint for world domination. Ford supplied free copies to every library in the US.
Here is another anniversary — exactly 75 years ago, in 1938, Hitler and the nazis presented Ford with the Grand Cross of the German Eagle. It was the highest nazi medal that could be awarded to non-Germans.
As you would expect, Ford hated trade unions — they got in the way of him wringing the last cent of profit out of his workforce.
He used thugs, strike-breakers, detective agencies and a private army to resist union organisation in his factories.
To oppose union activity, Ford promoted former navy boxer Harry Bennett to head a private army, an anti-union paramilitary arm of the Ford Motor Company called the Service Department.
Bennett’s bully boys employed various intimidation tactics to crush any union activity.
The most famous incident, on May 26 1937, involved Bennett’s security men using clubs to beat United Automobile Workers (UAW) representatives.
The police chief on the scene was Carl Brooks, himself trained in Bennett’s Service Department. He and his men stood by and did nothing to stop the attack.
Henry’s son Edsel, when he became president of the company in the early 1940s, tried to come to some sort of collective bargaining agreement with the unions.
Henry, who still had the final veto in the company, refused to co-operate.
The Ford Motor Company was the last Detroit car factory to recognise the UAW.
When a sit-down strike by the union closed Ford’s River Rouge plant in April 1941, Ford threatened to shut down the company rather than settle.
His wife Clara told him she would leave him if he destroyed the family business. The contract was reluctantly signed in June 1941.
Although he never officially aligned with either of the major US political parties, Ford’s prominence as a successful industrialist prompted Woodrow Wilson to invite him to run for Senate as a Democrat in 1918.
Ford lost that race. He made a presidential bid in 1924, but when that failed too he never ran for office again.
Close to Hitler and the nazis, it is no surprise that Ford wasn’t very enthusiastic about entering World War II. He had also strongly opposed any US involvement in World War I.
Eventually the Ford plants in the US did start producing aircraft to aid the war effort. But at the same time his Ford plants in Germany were supplying the nazi war machine with military vehicles and trucks.
Devious Henry, and the Ford Motor Company, managed to profit from both sides of the war.
Even worse, during the war, Ford employed slave labour in Germany on the production lines.
After a series of strokes, Ford died in 1947 of a cerebral haemorrhage. He was 83.
We have two choices in the way we remember Ford — either as the industrial genius who perfected the mass production of motorcars and thereby revolutionised the way we live.
Or, as I do, as a reclusive manic man who would tolerate no opposition or criticism, whose vicious attempts to prevent trade unionism at his plants produced strikes and violence, mostly provoked by his own private bully boys.
He was a man full of hate — anti-immigrant, anti-union and anti-semitic.
In short Ford was a bigot and a fool who, if his name wasn’t on the blue oval badge on the front of so many of today’s motor cars, would have been laughed at, ignored and towed away to the scrapyard of history a very long time ago.

Since Korean cinemas started reopening earlier this month, cinemas schedules have relied closely on re-runs, blended with a handful of overseas, smaller new releases. That’s about to alter.
Because the coronavirus ran rampant from February, native distribution giants CJ Leisure, Lotte and Showbox canceled or postponed dozens of theatrical outings. “Time to Hunt” was rescheduled a number of instances after which switched to a straight to streaming launch through Netflix. The sample was repeated in Might.

That’s as a result of college is out and audiences retreat into theaters to flee the warmth.

Starring Tune Ji-hyo (“New World”) and Kim Mu-yeol (“Illang: The Wolf Brigade”), the story revolves round a widower who re-encounters his sister who has been lacking for 25 years.
“I really feel burdened and nervous (about opening the movie at a time when audiences don’t go to observe movies in theaters). I hope audiences can get pleasure from watching movies whereas sticking to security precautions,” stated the movie’s director Son Gained-pyung on the press occasion.
One other native drama “Innocence,” which was delayed twice beforehand will open on June 11. Co-distributed by Sony Photos Korea and Kidari Ent, “Innocence” is the story of a lawyer who endeavors to show her mom’s innocence in a homicide case.

The alkalinity of that water masked the acidic discharges into the Monongahela River of the 1, smaller mines abandoned since the early s. But as the number of active mines in the Monongahela River drainage has dwindled to under a dozen, more and more acid is finding its way into streams and the river.

International headliners and local heroes, underground super stars and unknown new-comers. These are the people that produce the SONUS soundtrack. We've gathered more than 60 artists to create the perfect sun-downer party, incredible techno raves or laid-back house parties.
We strongly recommend not to use your car for drives between Novalja and Zrce. The island’s traffic system was not built for large festivals so there is just a tiny one-lane street to cope with a huge influx of visitors. Unsurprisingly this resulted in massive traffic jams in the past and you should make sure you avoid this frustrating situation.
If, however, you still want to drive to Novalja downtown by car, you will find plenty of parking sites near the beach promenade. Please note that parking fees might be pricey.
We strongly recommend to purchase a SONUS Island Shuttle ticket with your festival ticket. This allows you to use the shuttle buses on the Island, which makes getting around in Novalja much easier and gives you a perfect travel link between Novalja and the festival site at Zrce Beach.
You can always buy your island shuttle ticket while you're at SONUS. Please see our dedicated section below for timetables, fees and more.
We've partnered with a local taxi agency to provide you with stable fees and secure rides. Check for "SONUS Trusted Partner" stickers to make sure you're driving with one of our trusted cabs. Alternatively you'll also have the option to book an Uber!
All fees listed below are target prices which may vary slightly according to traffic situation and your exact destination. We recommend asking for a receipt upon payment. Should any problems arise, please note down the registration number of the vehicle and speak to our staff at the SONUS Info Point / Help Desk.
Wanna get to the festival venues quickly? You want to discover all the hidden gems around Novalja? Why not rent a scooter?

One of today's most popular summer festival and party destinations – Novalja – is situated on the island of Pag, a very attractive rock-beach island of Croatia. The town has been attracting more and more young tourists every year over the past decade, mainly because of its increasing growth of clubbing and festival offers.
Novalja stands out due to the beauty and uniqueness of its beaches, its unspoilt landscapes, its entertainment and nightlife, the quality of its cultural and historical sites and the multitude of facilities for sports and recreation.
The promenade in Novalja, or Riva, has small stands with souvenirs and similar stuff, as well as many fast food stands and few cafes. The city itself has few shops providing everything for a decent vacation, and they are all located downtown. Fish market provides daily fresh fish, but in order to buy it, you have to get up early as it's usually sold out after 9AM.
Three large supermarkets (Kerum, Hiper Novalis and Kastelo) are located in the entrance to the city. Newsstands are located everywhere, with drug stores and postal offices.
Check-in & Wristband
You have to exchange your ticket into a wristband before entering the festival. In order to collect your festival wristband, please visit the SONUS Festival check-in tent at Zrce Beach, close to Aquarius. VIP ticket holders will have access to a separate fast lane.
Please note: In case you booked a festival package including a ticket (Collegium or PapayaTravel) you will receive your wristband at their respective check-in counters.
Do not lose your wristband - we cannot replace any wristbands. No wristband - No Party!
Day tickets cannot be purchased in advance. Day tickets will only be available at the box office if they do not sell out beforehand! Prices will depend on the lineup of that day.
If you want to grab a last minute ticket on-site, our box offces will be open for your service. Please note that, like any limited commodity, tickets are sold as long as they are available. In order to purchase a ticket on-site, you'll find our box offices at Aquarius and Kalypso.
Don’t be a fool - be better off with a shuttle ticket. The island’s bus lines are the most comfortable, secure and safe way to travel between Novalja and Zrce Beach.
Less traffic, more party! The island is pretty small and Zrce Beach in particular offers little space for you to park your car. Save your money, time & patience! Parking space is very limited, quite pricey and usually charged per hour. Don't drink and drive! Regular traffic controls will be undertaken by the police - do not take a risk!
Your Island Shuttle Ticket offers you to commute freely for 7 days.
There are numerous ATMs located in Novalja, at the beach and also in each club at Zrce Beach.

Zrće is a beach located 2 kilometers from Novalja, right across Gajac. As a mecca for party-enthusiasts, it enjoys high media coverage so it's popular among Croatian celebrities and many popular Croatian singers open the summer season right there. The beach has its own parking lot, but avoid it if you can, because it can get extremely crowded. If possible, walk to the beach or use our SONUS shuttle.
Gajac is a planned apartment community 2 kilometers away from Novalja, its beach stretching several hundred meters on the Adriatic coast. The coastal strip is partly filled with sand, however it is mainly gravel. Its long beachfront sidewalk is ideal for jogging or walking.
Stara Novalja is an old village 5 kilometers north of Novalja, situated in a deep bay in the north-west of the island of Pag. The largest beach within the cove is the famous sandy beach Trinćel, while smaller beaches extend through the entire bay, some of which are only accessible by boat. Many tourists enjoy the clean beaches every year, so it does get quite crowded in the summertime.
Caska beach is located in the same bay as and in close vicinity of Zrće beach, both east of Novalja. It is a sand beach, and the sea floor is slightly inclined downwards which makes it suitable for families with children. There is a restaurant on the beach and some recreational facilities.
Wind & Kite Surfing
Because of its ideal combination of winds, slower Mistral and faster Burin, the Pag cove is especially popular among wind surfers and kite surfers. Research shows the wind blows 350 days a year on the island of Pag. In summer a number of winds alternate during the day: Around 3 pm in the afternoon Mistral - ideal for surfing, especially for those not keen on fast riding. Later in the afternoon Mistral enhances, thus enabling faster surfing. Burin is a colder wind blowing from the north. Visit the surf base at the Simuni camping.

Located only a few meters away from the crystal clear sea you will be lifted as high as 30 meters in the air for an incredible jump - at any time of day and night! Enjoy the view on Papaya club before you take the step into the void - if you dare.
Explore the famous lunar landscape of the island, hidden coves and remote beaches off the beaten path. 115 kilometers of hiking paths await you on Pag. If you want to get to know the outstanding natural beauty of the island while experiencing an unforgettable adrenaline rush, you should definitely rent a Quad.
Rock climbing enthusiasts can enjoy climbing the steep parts of the peak of Sv. Vid and the rocks above the Ručica beach in the north-west part of Pag Bay (at Zamak and Stogaj near Metajna). Special climbing markers are placed at these sites. In some parts of the island, the cliffs are too steep, practically vertical and with unusual shapes due to exposure to storms.

New England (Massachusetts) has been unable to overcome the offensive issues that have plagued it for several seasons. In contrast, at the beginning of the year, despite suffering two losses, their defensive group looked much better than in previous seasons.
Cristian Gonzalez had a solid performance on defense
And one of the most eye-catching players on the “Patriots” is rookie Christian Gonzalez from Colombia.

- Religion and Philosophy
The largest and Highest mountain ranges of the world.
The name Himalayas is derived from the Sanskrit language which means the house of snow(Him:- snow & Alaya:- dwelling). The Himalayas have continued to exert powerful influence on people from many parts of the world who come here for spiritual desire.There in the foot of it are many holy places of Hindu religion which make them so sacred for the Hindus.The Buddhists also find many of their pilgrimages.For a long period of time Himalayas have continued to protect India from the Northern invasion. It was only in 1962 when technological prowess of man(Indo-China war 1962) increased and defied the former statement.As we move further in our content we will explore the different aspect of the great wall in paragraphs.
There are two aspects that I would like to give on my behalf in regard to this great range.The first one the tangible aspects which comply with the modern established science.The second one being bit little intricate as one requires a spiritual approach. The second one believes the famous quote made by the Indian sages in the past that not all seen is always true and not all which cannot be seen is worth deny.
The Geography of Himalayas
The Himalayas are highest mountain ranges in the world.The famous Mount Everest is located in this range.There are more than hundred mountains which have a height more than 7200 meters.These ranges separate Indian subcontinent and Tibetian plateau.Their are two other ranges beside Greater Himalayas , Lower foothill(height approximated to 1000 meters) called Shivalik range.The other little higher (2000-3000 meters) is called the Mahabharata range.The Himalayas sprawl over five countries India, China, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan.The three great rivers of the world that drain the region are Ganga, Bramhaputra, Sindhu. They provide the water and lively-hood to 600 million people.
Spiritual Books on Himalayas
This book well describes the spiritual world of India. Paul Brunton well describes his imaginations and experiences vividly in this book.
Myths of Himalayas
Their are many legends that surround this colossal structure.It is said that Indra after having taken the golden armor from Karna hid that wonderful armor in Himalayas. A Bollywood movie "Naksha" is made on this legend.
Other legend that evolves from the travelogue of an Indian saint who told that when he went into the unexplored paths where no human dwelling or signs of human travel he found.He saw there a tree with circumference of 1 mile.This tree in Hindi is known as 'Vat'.He wanted to sojourn there for the meditation when a man in seraphic dress came and asked him to leave the place.The traveler was told by the strange man that this place was not accessible to the human beings.But the stubborn saint was not ready to desert and expressed his desire to meditate which was the sole motive of his daring travel.Impressed by the persistence of the saint since he was now in his 30th day of his meditation, the seraph like man said that he would show him a fortress but on a condition that as soon as he visits it once, he would have to leave that place where the saint took shelter.
The man took the traveler to the front of a cave which opening was a guarded by a massive stone.But the man easily shifted the stone and made passage for both of them.They headed in utter darkness until light started creeping in.
As soon as they came out they were inside a fort which spanned across miles.The saint after inquiry found that this fort was built by the Arjun and sprawled in 10,000 miles.There he saw various types of saints who were in the state of trance.The traveler insisted to stay there but the seraph like man told him that only the people born before Kaliyug are allowed to stay here.After that traveler was taken out and asked to complete the condition.The traveler left the place with a heavy heart.
One more story which is a myth rather legend that relates itself to the Himalayas is that it is the dwelling place of the God 'Shiva'. It is believed that he resides in Mount Kailash. He meditates there on ice mound and sits on the stripped skin of tiger.He has snake as his garland and moon as his adornment for hair.The holy river Ganga trickles from his clustered hairs.When Ganga was persuaded by the Bhagirath to come and flow on earth, she said that she had no problem except for the case that she would come with such a surmounting force that the whole earth in the vicinity of the impact would be devastated. It was then Lord Shiva said he would hold her in his cluster of hairs and from there she would flow in such a way that she would only benefit the mankind.
One of the chiranjeevi(Immortal)of Mahabharata, Ashwathama, he is said to reside in a wretched condition due to the curse given to him by Shree Krishna. It is said that he was spotted in Himalayas.He had eye brows which hairs touched the ground. Their was a blister in his forehead which continued to bleed the serum. It is said that wound resulted due to ripping of the pearl that was situated in the forehead.
Books on Himalays
This book describes the living in Himalayas and the spiritual and inspirational adventure associated with it.
Rahul Sankritayan visits Himalayas
These Himalayas were of profound interest to the great Indian traveler Rahul Sankrityayan. He traveled the places where it was very painstaking and impossible to do so without external aid. He went to Tibet in order to study Buddhism. He returned from there carrying the scriptures which were lost in the Indian main land.It is said that he carried these scriptures on 22 mules. These scriptures were taken from the Vikramshila University which was burned down by the Muslim invaders of the 8th century. The fleeing monks took the great treasure of knowledge with them which might have fallen victim to the fire.
There are many places in the Himalayas which still need to be discovered specially by the travelers taking interest in religion and archaeology.The great ancient legends and the myths woven around this range do have something substantial in them.There are still many sages who are continuously meditating from the time unknown to us.
In the end I would like to express that Himalayas are something even a bulky volume will not be effective to describe them completely. But I have just outlined what I wished to describe about them. I welcome the criticisms from my readers and I would be happy in appending any tale that they might suggest.


Brittany Nicole Cox is one of the only antiquarian horologists in the world. She’s basically a mechanic—a mechanic from the 17th century.
Cox fixes old machines with watch or clock mechanisms inside them for a living.Often, these machines are missing parts that frequently no longer exist, so Cox fashions them herself.
To visit her workshop is to see what the future looked like centuries ago, and while Cox’s trade is laborious, time-consuming and incredibly intricate, she is preserving a magical part of humanity’s past.
Automata can include flowers, figures, animals, birds and more – made movable through gear combinations. Mechanical musical objects can include music boxes, barrel organs, and larger objects such as clock tower carillons with massive bells.
I also work with complicated clocks and watches including musical mechanisms or automata.Cox grew up fascinated with watches and music boxes as a kid. She would take them apart and put them back together
