Symbols and reels are the basic building blocks of casino slot games. While it’s true that the enormous selection of online slots features a staggering diversity in terms of themes, graphics, animations, and noises, all of them revolve around placing symbols on the reels in the various combinations you need to win prizes. There is a lot to said about the function of reels in modern video slots, with reel innovations like cascading reels, cluster pays, 243 ways, and Megaways to increase the number of potential ways you can form winning combinations going to concentrate on symbols in Meilleur casino.
Slot Machine Symbols: Classic Slot Reel – How Many Are There?
The precise amount of symbols on a slot machine reel frequently asked. Considering that it was simple to disassemble one of Fay’s early fruit machines, you should mind that the answer to this question is far from classic slots than contemporary ones. There was typically 60 symbols total on 3-reel slots, or around 20 symbols each reel in Meilleur casino. It corresponds to over 8,000 combinations, one of which typically the jackpot, as those of you with math skills may have already determined. In fact, for a very long time, slots’ ability to deliver a large jackpot was severely constrained by the number of symbols.
Standard Reel Symbols
There are a core set of symbols in every slot game. They serve no use beyond that. When a player obtains the proper sequence of a group of matching symbols, they merely award a winning reward. The common reel symbols create the theme of the slot games. Fruit-based symbols like cherries, strawberries, melons, and oranges frequently used as reel symbols in slot machines. Playing card symbols like a king, queen, jack, or ace are other common conventional reel symbols. Theme-based slot machine icons can place the ancient basic reel symbols in some modern slots.
What have Fruit Symbols Seen?
Modern slots have a wide selection of symbols on the reels. The standard BAR and 777 characters Egyptian hieroglyphics are all present. Fruit symbols still reign supreme as the default slot machine symbol. Many gambling software providers offer slots with fruit symbol icons, and countless online casinos offer fruit slots. When fruit slots are your favourite game, there are several places where you may spend hours playing them.
Expanding wilds are an excellent illustration of how creators of online slot games take an already fantastic element and enhance it for more fun and intriguing ways to win. In online casino slots, expanding wilds are among the most exciting wild features. Even though stacked wilds have the potential to cover the entire reel, there is still a risk that there will be one or two wild symbols present when the finishes. If you land a wild on any of the reels in an expanding wild game, the symbol will expand to fill the entire reel from top to bottom.

I am a painter of Fantasy and I'm all about making the world a better place for every one of us on this fragile planet.
I create images of cats and butterflies, dogs and birds, alligators and raccoons as well as possums, turtles, bears, tigers , lions and any other critter you know -maybe even some you haven't yet met!
My original paintings are created in acrylics or watercolors and ink. They are sent to a printing company that photographs or scans them, then reproduces them in Giclee images on heavy archival paper or canvas.Intricate details and strong color saturation are hallmarks of my work and one painting may take several months to complete. All my life, I have been fascinated with Costume and Fashion history.Prior to becoming a professional Visual Artist, I spent years as a designer fashion buyer for large department stores. When I'd had enough of the corporate life I decided to combine my lifelong love of animals with fashion and theater, stir them all together and VOILA! You have The Art of Sherry Dole. I always donate a percentage of my sales or my art to animal rescue or welfare groups.
Thanks so very much for dropping by today! I really appreciate your spending a little time with me here in my world of Faery Tales and Whimsicality. Please fix yourself a cup of tea or a glass of sweet tea like we love here in the Deep Southern USA and just sit a spell. I have been looking forward to meeting you! If you are one of my precious friends already, I am so pleased to see you!

There is Joy in Hard Work!
In case you have not heard, there is a major disaster going on in the Gulf of Mexico with a hideous oil spill happening as we speak. The Gulf has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember & it has been a great source of inspiration for me in my artwork. I live in the Piney Woods part of Southern Mississippi, about 60 miles north of the beach. My family has always had a home on the bayous, so almost every weekend we were there or on the beach itself. Katrina was horrendous, no question, but this monster of an oil spill is destroying so much more! OK enough of this, the whole point in writing this entry is about not letting ourselves get all mired down in the gunk. I am amazed at the wonderful artists and other folks I have met on line who are working through this by donating portions of their sales to help the wildlife rescuers & the ones who are helping to keep us aware of what is going on. I created a facebook page http://www.facebook.com/GulfCoastArtists and a twitter page http://www.twitter.com/GulfCoastArts so the artists can link on & people can write encouraging words to them. I personally have spent the last two months while this thing is happening to get seriously lost in my artwork. I truly love what I do and as long as I am creating something new I manage to keep a smile on my face. I must admit that a lot of the joy I get out of my paintings is the fabulous feedback I get from Yall! It means so much to know that something I created will bring a smile to someone who otherwise might not have been having such a great day themself. I love my detailed, complicated paintings because they present me with a long list of technical problems. For instance, where am I gonna find a gator in a long blue dress along with her handsome boyfriend to model for me? or, for that matter, it took me forever to convince those two frogs to sit in that little boat one stormy night! Anyway, you get my drift, so to speak. Just know...I am the happiest I have ever been in my whole life, creating these paintings for YOU!
Once upon a time, there was a village in the land of Mississippi, USA. In that village, there lived a joyful artist in a cozy bungalow surrounded by a wild, enchanted garden.......Actually, once upon a time is now and the artist is me-Sherry Dole! My life is like a constant fairy tale because I get to live a life filled with the joy of perpetual creation. I am inspired by nature and through creating this garden, I live in constant awe of its beauty.

We saw the sun this week in Washington for the first time in about a month. It was great fun. One hopes that the clearing of the gloom will have other effects.
Lots happened this week. Here are a few things that caught my eye:
- FDA Approves First Combo Therapy for Diabetes and Cholesterol – Today the agency announced approval of the first combination therapy intended to treat Type 2 diabetes as well as high cholesterol. Called Juvisync (sitagliptin and simvastatin), the pill is manufactured by MSD International GmbH Clonmel, Co. in Tipperary, Ireland. The agency release states that while “[t]he FDA has recently become aware of the potential for statins to increase blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. This risk appears very small and is outweighed by the benefits of statins for reducing heart disease in diabetes. However, the prescribing information for Juvisync will inform doctors of this possible side effect. The company will also be required to conduct a post-marketing clinical trial comparing the glucose lowering ability of sitagliptin alone compared to sitagliptin given with simvastatin.”
- FDA Issues Report on Medical Devices – In July of this year, the maintaining the safety and effectiveness of the products” which the agency said “offers a look at the work FDA engages in every day to help foster science that enables and supports innovation and sound medical product development.”
- FDA Approves Cialis for BPH – Yesterday the agency announced the approval of Lilly’s Cialis for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). That may be of interest to those suffering from the condition and for those treating the condition, but as the press release from the FDA notes, the FDA has approved eight other drugs to treat BPH. It is always difficult to predict when the agency is going to issue a press release around an approval but it seems rare when there are already so many treatments approved for the condition. Also in connection with the approval, the manufacturer Lilly issued a multimedia news release that has video, photos and links, though no Facebook share function. One can expect to see more such releases in the future.
- No More Prostate Screening for Healthy Men? – And in a related note, the United States Preventive Services Task Force has been reported to have formulated a draft recommendation against regular PSA screening for healthy men that will be issued next week. The feeling is that the test does not save lives, but it will likely face strong headwinds from those who feel the test did in fact do just that.
Enjoy the sunshine in your life wherever you are, even if the sun is not showing itself at the moment. Have a good weekend everyone.

Best beaches around La Orotava, Tenerife
Welcome to the island life
When you come to a Coliving space on an island, a good beach nearby is of course a must. That’s why in this article, we show you the 5 most beautiful beaches close to Nine. So grab your towel and let’s hit the beach!
Playa El Socorro
Let’s just go from west to east on the map. El Socorro translates to SOS and this beach definitely deserves its name. Because although it might not seem this way, currents can be strong and dangerous for swimmers and surfers. But! El Socorro is still one of our favorite beaches, not only because it’s one of the best surf beaches of the island. El Socorro is great in summer, when the beach is long and currents are not as strong at all. In winter this beach is a bit less predictable. There are days when you can perfectly swim and days when the red flag is out. A good thing about Socorro is that there is always a lifeguard so you can’t get yourself into a messy situation if you pay attention. So ,really great beach, but if you like to swim in winter this might not be your best option. El Socorro is easy accessible by car as you can literally park on the beach. On the beach there are showers, there is a kiosk for snacks, a small tapas restaurant and a public toilet.
Playa El Jardin
Playa el Jardin is the city beach of beach town Puerto de la Cruz, a 10 minute drive from Nine. It’s called el Jardin (the garden) because it is surrounded by a beautiful garden, taking away the feeling of being in the city. Playa el Jardin consists of tree little beaches connected to each other. The further from the city centre, the quieter the beach gets. This is the perfect beach if you want to combine your beach day with a stroll around Puerto, some shopping or going to one of the many restaurants close by. The beach has free and easy parking nearby, showers, public toilets and a few beach restaurants. On top of that, this is probably the best beach to go for a swim. Protected by the city, the water tends to be a lot calmer here.
Playa el Bollullu
El Bolullu takes a bit more effort to get to, but it is well worth it once you get there. This beautiful beach is surrounded by nature and usually a bit more quiet than the more accessible beaches. You can park at Restaurante el Bollullu, but to get there you have to drive over a very steep and small road so be prepared. Once there, you pay 3 euros to park your car and walk 5 minute walk to the beach. Another option is to leave your car higher up the road, where the bus stop is, and walk down. We definitely recommend this on busy days, because driving down and up the road with lots of counter traffic is no joke. Don’t let this stop you to check out El Bollullu though, because it’s probably one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. On the beach there is a small beach restaurant with some simple tapas and a toilet. On top of the cliff, where you also park your car, there is a very nice restaurant with outside seatings looking out over the ocean.
Los Patos is probably the most beautiful beach on the island, together with Playa Benijo, but also one of the hardest to get to. Since the stairs leading to the beach have broken down, the only way to get to Los Patos, is by climbing down a little ridge along the cliffs to get down. Now, this sounds all very scary and we definitely recommend you to be very careful and wear good shoes, but it’s doable. In summer lots of people go down every weekend, but it’s on your own risk. When you do go down, you get to the most beautiful and secluded beach surrounded by nature. In summer this is a long and wide beach with fun waves to surf on. In winter the beach gets much smaller, so you would have to be very careful with upcoming tides. In winter there are hardly any people on this beach except a few advanced surfers taking advantage of a quiet spot with great waves.
Next to El Bollullu and Los Patos lays a small beach called El Ancon. To get to this beach you have to take a walk for about 20 minutes. But, the walk is a beautiful one along the coast over Los Patos and at the beach there are stairs going all the way down. El Ancon disappears almost completely in winter so we only recommend you to go in summer. The small beach is known as a beach for dog lovers and nudists.
Enjoy your day at the beach! And let us know in the comment section below which beach is your favorite.

The week leading up to the Super Bowl, at times, can be more interesting than the game itself. This week has proved that much, with both the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers having players tangled in some sort of controversy. The two biggest stories have been Raven’s LB Ray Lewis’ believed use of a banned substance. The 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver came out with homophobic remarks on a radio show earlier in the week. Neither team has seemed to be distracted, but it sure doesn’t help.
Coming into this week, many figured that the media would be talking about Lewis’ retirement after the Super Bowl, and him going out on top. On Tuesday news broke of a man accusing Lewis of using a banned substance. Lewis of course denied this, and ensured everyone that he has never used such a substance. It makes you wonder why no one would report this until the week leading up to the big game. Also, if this report isn’t true it’s disrespectful to Lewis and the Ravens.
This team doesn’t need anymore distractions leading up to the game, and there’s no reason to slander Lewis in any fashion. It’s hard to believe whether Lewis used these substances or not, but he has never failed an NFL drug test, so I would have to side with Lewis on this one. The 49ers had some unneeded controversy as well with Culliver.
On Tuesday, during an interview on the Artie Lang show, Culliver made homophobic remarks based on his views of having an openly gay player in the locker room. Culliver said there was no room for that in the 49ers locker room, and he wouldn’t accept anyone that was gay as a teammate. This statement was not only incredibly dumb, but insensitive to a level where you wonder what the guy was thinking.
The 49ers quickly came out and released a statement saying they have nothing to do with these comments. Culliver released an apology trying to cover up the whole thing. Once you’ve said something like this though, you can’t take it back. He put his thoughts out there, and now he has to live with it. He should be suspended by the league and not allowed to play in the Super Bowl. Besides the fact that he said it, comes unwarranted attention to the 49ers.
Soon enough we will find out if these teams are affected by this negativity. Both coaches seem to get their teams composed in tough situations so it will be interesting to watch for.

Romanian duo NTFO will be soon releasing their brand new EP on their own Sintope imprint. The label has two roots in which Sintope Digital focuses on delivering only digital format while the other one, Sintope Vinyl Serie delivers physical copies. The 10th vinyl release comes from labels bosses and it features two originals plus a stunning remix from French talent Djebali.
NTFO - Galore EP
A1 side contains the opening tune "Galore" which has a firm groove laid down with swingy bass-line. Background pads are making it a bit more dynamical whilst breakdown brings out the dark pitched down voice. Djebali's remix of "Galore" can be found on the B1 side and it's a stripped down version of the original. He maintained the similar vibe with a focus on delivering a dance-floor weapon. The groove is straight four to the flour with a slight swing that brings out subtle percussions and shakers. B2 features the second original cut called "Sin Plu". This one fits nicely in the whole package with a strong rhythm and indirect synth sounds that are bringing up the tension.
Overall, this is definitely a worth mentioning EP that continues the Sintope policy of groovy tracks which will surely be played among loads of DJ's. The exact date of the release is still yet to be announced. Make sure you check out their social channels for more details regarding the release.

The Housing Secretary has announced plans to give tenants of new housing association homes the right to purchase a share in the equity of their property. Shares would start at 10% and rise in 1% increments.
In a speech at the Conservative Party conference on 30 September, Mr Robert Jenrick said that the right would apply to any new housing association homes built with a "voluntary" arrangement between associations and the government for existing tenants.
It is not clear how the policy will be enforced. However, there are suggestions that the government is considering making it a condition of grant funding.
As no further details of the policy are available at the moment, it is difficult to predict what the likely outcomes will be. Some potential impacts are:
This may be great for tenants who can afford to buy shares in their homes but what about the millions who cannot. One also has to question whether this is truly a good deal for the tenant because as a shared owner a tenant will become liable for paying full service charges and could be responsible for repairs on top.
On the positive side, housing associations will receive a capital receipt they had not expected and some in the sector are of the view that shared ownership assets are good, stable assets that lenders like to lend against.
Last month the government promised significant changes to the shared ownership model to allowing staircasing in as little as 1% and this is a further step offering the 'Right to Buy' to potentially 2.6 million households. It would seem that Boris Johnson's new government is switching housing policy to focus on home ownership once again. This is in stark contrast to Theresa May's comments earlier in the year at the Chartered Institute of Housing Conference where she said that too many governments had focused on home ownership at the expense of social housing.
It has been described by some as a "retrograde move" because, whilst the policy may assist those in shared ownership, it is not a strategy for increasing the supply of housing. It is widely acknowledged that not enough homes are being built in the UK to replace those being taken out of the housing stock such as when they are sold through the "Right to Buy". There are therefore fears that the policy could worsen the housing crisis.
This publication is intended for general guidance and represents our understanding of the relevant law and practice as at October 2019. Specific advice should be sought for specific cases. For more information see our terms and conditions.

A group of US Senators, including Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, are calling the FTC to have greater scrutiny when looking at the merger of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard. They are citing concerns about reports of the misconduct happening at the helm of the company. The Wall Street Journal first reported on this. After the publication of this story was released, Activision Blizzard announced Microsoft is supportive of the company’s “goals and the work being done” to improve its culture.
The US Senators–including Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, and Sheldon Whitehouse–wrote their letter to Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan. The lawmakers said the FTC should find out if Microsoft’s proposed buyout of Activision Blizzard could “exacerbate the flurry of sexual-abuse, harassment and retaliation allegations at Activision stemming from recent federal and state investigations.”
Just this week, a judge approved Activision Blizzard’s settlement over workplace culture issues that will see the company create a $18 million fund to compensate the affected workers. This is just one of the many lawsuits Activision Blizzard is facing regarding the sexual misconduct in the workplace.
The senators also stated they were concerned that Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, who has been accused of knowing (and covering up) instances of sexual harassment and other abuse, will remain with the company and potentially get a massive payout when if/when the deal goes through. It has also been reported that Kotick will leave the company after the merger is done.
As part of the rules of mergers this size, the US government must make sure it doesn’t break any anti-trust laws. However, the senators are submitting their feedback separate from that and to cite their own specific concerns. The WSJ previously reported that Khan, the FTC chair, would specifically look into whether or not Microsoft’s buyout of Activision Blizzard would “substantially lessen competition.”
“We are deeply concerned about consolidation in the tech industry and its impact on workers,” the Democratic Senators said in their letter–reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, believes the deal will go through, which is unsurprising. He said in an interview that, if the deal should fall through, Microsoft will still be number three in terms of market share.
A spokesperson for Activision Blizzard sent a statement in response to the US Senators lobbying the FTC to scrutinize the merger, which you can check out below:
“On Tuesday, the federal court approved a settlement agreement between Activision Blizzard and the EEOC that includes an $18M fund to compensate eligible claimants and to bolster enhancements to policies, practices, and training to prevent harassment and discrimination in the workplace, among other commitments. The company is committed to a safe and equitable working environment for all employees and has invested significant resources to ensure we’re creating a model for the industry. The transaction between Microsoft and Activision Blizzard will not interrupt any of the actions the Activision Blizzard’s leadership team has implemented throughout 2021 and is continuing to implement in 2022 with regards to improving our workplace. Activision Blizzard’s leadership team has discussed the company’s goals at length with Microsoft, and Microsoft has reviewed the renewed culture commitment and actions Activision Blizzard have done so far, and the efforts they’ve undertaken. Microsoft is supportive of the goals and the work being done. This is a compelling transaction for all stakeholders, including employees.
No additional special compensation arrangements for Mr. Kotick were entered into in connection with the transaction. Mr. Kotick’s base salary has been reduced to California’s minimum annual salary (which is approximately $62,500 for 2022), and he will not be awarded any bonuses or equity grants until the Workplace Responsibility Committee of the Activision Blizzard Board of Directors has determined that Activision Blizzard has made appropriate progress toward achievement of the transformational gender-related goals and other commitments described in such announcement.”


EDITORIAL: VOTE YES ON CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT NUMBER 1
The American Press (excerpt)
After having to wade through five proposed constitutional amendments last month, voters get a break with only one proposed constitutional amendment on the Nov. 19 ballot. The amendment seeks to ban any new taxes or fees on the sale of real estate in the state.
Currently, buyers and sellers of real estate pay closing costs that include fees for attorneys and title research. Fees are also commonly paid to a government agency or clerk of court for record keeping or other assistance with the transaction. In 36 states and the District of Columbia, the state or a local government agency charges a special conveyance tax or fee on a real estate transfer as a means of raising general revenue. The fee is generally known as a real estate transfer tax, or RETT, and is often calculated as a percentage of the property value or the loan amount and is charged to the buyer, the seller, or both. Mandi Mitchell, a spokesperson for the Louisiana Realtors organization, said that can amount to 1 percent to 3 percent on the value of the property or the value of the loan. In the case of the sale of a $300,000 home, that could mean an additional tax or fee of $9,000. According to the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana (P.A.R.), only the city of New Orleans levies such a tax or fee on real estate transactions. The city charges $325 for a documentary transaction tax on all property transactions.
If approved by voters, Constitutional Amendment 1 would bar the levy of new taxes or fees by the state or local governments on the sale or transfer or real estate after Nov. 30, 2011. Thatís why we recommend a vote for Constitutional Amendment 1, which would squelch the idea of such a tax.

The AAMC joined the American Hospital Association, America’s Essential Hospitals, and other hospital and health system groups in a March 6 letter urging congressional leadership to address pending cuts to the Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) program.
The letter urged Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to address $8 billion in scheduled cuts to the Medicaid DSH program, which are due to go into effect on Oct. 1. “This year the Medicaid program and its beneficiaries face a difficult transition, as states institute processes to determine which recipients remain eligible for the program when the maintenance of effort provisions related to the public health emergency expire,” the letter noted. This unwinding of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act’s (P.L. 116-127) continuous coverage requirement, which prevented states from disenrolling Medicaid beneficiaries during the public health emergency, could cause millions of individuals to lose access to health insurance coverage, placing a financial strain on the hospitals that care for them. “Now is not the time for additional cuts to Medicaid funding, as hospitals are facing continued hardships while the country emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic,” the letter concluded.
The Medicaid DSH program provides supplemental payments to hospitals that care for a high proportion of Medicaid beneficiaries and the uninsured. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) included reductions in federal Medicaid DSH funding under the assumption that expanded access to insurance coverage would result in less uncompensated care. Originally scheduled for fiscal years 2014 through 2020, these cuts have been legislatively delayed several times since the ACA’s enactment, including most recently in the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-94) [refer to Washington Highlights, Dec. 19, 2019].

Seems like a reasonable idea, but that would require that I have the client send its input state every tick rather than only sending changes when they happen. Do you think I should do that?
There is no difference, assuming all messages get delivered. If not all messages get delivered, then it is good to send the state of inputs in each packet.
let the ticks process as fast as possible
No, this is not what I'm saying. I'm saying that the global rate of tick progression happens on the server. The server has a clock that maps real time to tick numbers by simple division. Each time the server wakes up, it checks what the current "goal tick number" is, and if the last simulated tick number is less than that, it simulates ticks forward until it's caught up.
On the client, you need to get an estimate of what the server's clock is. The server will send packets saying "this was the state of things at tick X," which means that you know the current tick is at least X. You can then send your input, saying "this happened at tick X+1."
The server will get that input, and it will probably be late (unless you're sitting right next to the server.) The server will then include information saying "you were Y ticks late in the last message, and here is data for tick Z."
You can then adjust your server tick offset to Y (or, at least, bump it up one step) and send the next set of inputs for tick Z+Y.
If your inputs arrive way too early, so the server has to buffer more than one network packet worth of tick-timestamped data, then the server can send "you were early" information so the client can bump down its estimate of how early it needs to send the data.
- When the server sends tick adjustment data, the client will run physics faster than real time for that adjustment period (or slower/delayed, when adjusting backwards.)
- You need no round-trip estimate, because the server will simply tell you how much earlier (or later) you need to make your estimation. This means that asynchronous round trip times won't be a problem from a server clock estimate point of view.

Nissan Laurel Overview
The Nissan Laurel is classed as an executive car which was produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturing company Nissan. The Laurel was in production from 1969 to 2002 over eight different generations. This was one of the luxury models from Nissan and shared many components with the Nissan Skyline. This vehicle was released when Nissan took over Prince and was made available in different Asian and European markets. The Laurel were very spacious cars which offered comfort and a good drive. They were well equipped and very luxurious cars. They performed pretty well and are overall pretty good vehicles. Does this sound anything like your experience of this car?
Nissan Laurel History
The first generation (1968-72) saw the introduction of the Laurel which came at a time when Prince was took over by Nissan.
The second generation (1972-77) was given some new styling and more engines made available.
The third generation (1977-80) was the first version to have a diesel engine in the range.
The fourth generation (1980-84) was no longer available in coupé variation as this became the Leopard F30.
The fifth generation (1984-89) was the last version that would be marketed outside of Japan.
The sixth generation (1989-93) was a rear wheel drive which became rather popular.
The seventh generation (1993-97) was slightly larger than the previous version, moving out the compact class.
The eighth generation (1997-2002) was the last version of the Laurel and ceased production in 2002 and was replaced by the Nissan Teana.
The Nissan Laurel was available with several different engines
over its lifetime including: 1.8, 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0L petrol and 2.0 or 2.8L diesel engines. The diesel engines were the more economical and these cars were not to bad in terms of fuel economy. Which engine did you have and how did it perform economically? The age, fuel type and engine size are determining factors when considering fuel economy.
The Nissan Laurel was available with 3, 4 or 5 speed automatic and 4 or 5 speed manual gearboxes. Which gearbox did you have and how do you rate its performance? If you are looking for Laurel gearbox parts then why not visit the Nissan gearbox

Dark Chocolate and Raspberry Stuffed Crescent Rolls
Prep Time 5minutes
1can of crescent rolls
1cupof fresh raspberries
¾cupsemi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.
Unrolled the crescent dough. Place a few raspberries and chocolate chips at the wide end. Carefully roll the dough, starting from the wide end towards the small end. Wrap the left & right side up so they enclose the crescent roll - this will keep the chocolate and raspberries from leaking out. Repeat.
Place into the oven and bake 12-13 minutes or until golden brown.
While the crescents are baking, melt the remaining chocolate chips in a glass dish in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir then cook for another 20 seconds; remove and stir until the remaining chips melt. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Spoon the melted chocolate into a small zip lock bag.
Remove the crescents from the oven and place them on a cooling rack. Cut a super small hole in the corner of the bag and drizzle the chocolate back and forth over each crescent roll. Serve with a glass of milk & enjoy.

One of the best and most convenient ways to go around El Nido is by motorbike. You can rent your own and it will cost between $6-14 daily, depending on the motorbike you prefer.
You can also commute and use public transportation, though it takes time to get used to. It’s very affordable though! For instance, a tricycle to the Town Proper costs about $0.20, while going to other areas costs about $3-4, depending on the distance. Some accommodations offer free shuttle vans!
Cost of Living
Just like traveling to many other places in the Philippines, the cost of living in El Nido varies. But the good news is that if you’re on a budget, you can still live comfortably in the area.
Studio apartments or coliving accommodations can cost as low as $200 monthly. Add a WiFi plan for $20, a motorbike rental for $200, and food expenses at $200 a month, besides other expenses, it can cost around $1,000 to live in El Nido. And you’ll still be able to go around and enjoy all the amazing destinations Palawan offers!
Why El Nido Must Be Your Next Travel Destination
So, why should you head to El Nido as a remote worker anyway? Here are just some of the many reasons why this must be your next destination!
- If you’re looking for the perfect balance of peace and nightlife, El Nido is where it’s at! Compared to Coron, El Nido is a bit quieter in terms of the nightlife, but you can find many living areas and fun parties to attend.
- El Nido is known as one of the most beautiful locations in all of the Philippines! All you will see around you are large coconut trees, white sandy beaches, clear waters, and mountains! There’s nothing else like it, and surprisingly, it isn’t as crowded compared to other destinations in the country!
- There are so many things you can do when in El Nido, and it isn’t limited to beach-hopping. Swim with wild whale sharks, try your hand at surfing or scuba diving, go trekking, eat all the delicious food, and so much more! Even if you plan to stay for the long-term, you won’t run out of activities and every day can be an adventure.
- The cost of living is fairly low in El Nido, even if it’s a vacation destination. We’ll tackle the details below, but less than $2,000 monthly is more than enough for an adventure-filled and comfy stay in the area.
- The Internet speed is fair enough. While the Philippines is notorious for its slow Internet, things have gotten better since the pandemic and remote workers will find it easier to achieve work-life balance as they work in coworking spaces without many Internet issues.
What to Check Before Booking a Coworking/Coliving Space in El Nido
Now that you’re more knowledgeable about traveling in El Nido, the next step is figuring out where you’ll be staying and working in. While we listed down accommodations and coworking spaces you can stay at, we also urge you to consider personal factors to help narrow down your choices.
Here are important things to look into as you choose the best coworking space or accommodation when staying in El Nido.
1. The Ambiance
Why are you a remote worker? Because you want to be surrounded by different and beautiful environments all the time! This is why the space’s ambiance is an important factor to consider, especially when you’re in Palawan to take in the tropical paradise vibes.
It’s crucial to choose a coworking space where you can truly feel at home and surrounded by nature, may it be lush greens or the beach right in front of you. The ambiance alone can definitely give you all the motivation you need to finish work more efficiently so you can get into the waters!
2. Internet Connection
Amid the beauty of Palawan came one significant issue for travelers, particularly remote workers: Internet speed! WiFi and mobile data were known to be painstakingly slow. Fortunately, the Internet situation has greatly improved since 2020, when private telecommunication companies upgraded telecom towers in the area.
Now, you can find many accommodations and coworking spaces running with Internet speeds reaching up to 100 MBPS, which is fast enough for online meetings, downloading big files, and more.
That said, it’s best to read reviews about WiFi and mobile signals in the area you plan to stay in. Some places offer WiFi, but the average speed ranges from 10-50 MBPS. This is adequate enough, though loading times are longer and meetings may lag from time to time.
3. Your Comfort
Just like the ambiance, you want to feel like you’re truly on vacation while still being able to work properly. This means being in a space that offers a spacious desk to place your things on, as well as an ergonomic chair so you can feel comfortable when working for hours on end.
Make sure that the accommodation or coworking space you choose offers desks or meeting rooms where you’ll be able to lay your things out without feeling cramped. Moreover, you’ll want a place that keeps you comfortable for hours of working, with shower areas or nap rooms so you can take proper breaks.
4. Extra Amenities
Many remote workers will need more than just a desk to work on and WiFi to connect to! There are other amenities and extra perks your chosen accommodation or coworking space should have, too.
For instance, you may need private meeting rooms for important meetings, or use of office machines like printers or photocopiers. Many coworking spaces also offer free beverages like coffee and tea, which is a huge plus for those who need to stay awake and energized!
Top 10 Coworking Spaces and Places Worth Working from in El Nido
Our list of the best coworking spaces and places worth working from in El Nido is based on extensive research, personal experience, and previous guest reviews. We made sure to consider crucial factors remote workers must look into, such as location, comfort, WiFi, ambiance, and price, among others.

Difference between particles of a gas and a of liquids?
compared particles of gas and particles of liquids gas particles can take any shape, but does not have a definte volume.
A solid has a definite shape, while a liquid and a gas do not. Liquids and solids also have definite volumes, while gasses again do not. In a solid, the particles vibrate and jiggle, but do not move around each other. In a liquid, the particles move over and around each other, and move more quickly than in a solid, and in a gas, the particles move freely and move more quickly still. Solids have…
In liquids the particles are touching with very little empty space between them. In a gas the particles are not touching and there is a very large amount of empty space between them. The same compound in gas vs liquid form takes up about 1250 times as much space. That is the empty space that makes gases compressible.
they are all states of matter matter in which particles are free to move in all directions until they have spread evenly throughout their container is a gas. liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape. the particles of a solid are packed closely together and are constantly vibrating in place
Particles are closest together in most solids, though there is very little difference between the spacing in solids and liquids. Particles are very far apart in a gas. Water is not a state of matter. It is an individual substance, and can exist as solid, liquid or gas depending on the temperature and pressure. However it is rather unusual in that the particles in solid water (ice) are actually further apart than those in cold…
They can. It is just a lot more difficult than with gases. Solids cannot be compressed at all. Liquids cannot be compressed because when a force is applied the liquid particles have no room between they to move around, whereas gas particles are free to move because they have a lots of room between them to move around in.
Gases gas molecules are far apart gas molecules move in a rapid, random manner gas particles touch only when they rebound and collide gas is a lighter version of liquid gas particles move everywhere gases cannot be seen by the naked human eye most gases are evaporated liquids gases do not keep their volume Liquids many liquid molecules touch each other many liquid molecules would have one particle on the right but none on the…
The difference between stages of matter have to do with how they are bonded. Solids are interlocked and crystalized. Liquids are loosely bonded and connected. Gases are in fact, not connected. Instead, they are loosely bonded atoms or molecules, made up mostly of space between them. This space is what makes the density of gas incredibly les than that of liquids.
The particles of a solid are attracted strongly to other particles around them locking them into a fixed position in which they may only vibrate but not move freely from one position to another. The particles of a gas are the opposite. Not strongly attracted, but move randomly about bouncing off of other gas particles. This allows the gas particles to move to any position, not just remain surrounded by the same few particles.
The particles in an ice cube vibrate in place compared to the particles in liquids and gases. They have the least kinetic energy. The particles in the ocean water move around. They have more kinetic energy than the particles in a solid but less than those in a gas or liquid. The particles in steam move around rapidly compared to the particles in solids and liquids. They have the most kinetic energy.

Normally, changes made to a
RealTimeModel are individually sent to the server immediately once executed via the API. However, in certain cases it may be necessary to group multiple discrete changes together into an atomic unit that is sent to the server all at the same time, like a database transaction. For example, the semantics of your application data model may require changes to two different parts of the model at the same time to maintain integrity. In this case, the changes need to all be executed atomicly to maintain integrity. The
RealTimeModel class provides several methods for this.
const root = model.root(); model.startBatch(); root.set("firstName", "John"); root.set("lastName", "Doe"); model.completeBatch();
startBatch() is called, subsequent model changes will be queued. When
completeBatch() is called, all pending changes will be sent. Note that only one batch can be in progress at one time. You can determine if a batch is in progress by calling

|Extent||32 volumes, 8 files and 10 boxes (3.5 linear metres)|
|Creator Name||C. Davidson and Sons Ltd., Paper Manufacturers, Mugiemoss Mills, Bucksburn, Aberdeen (1796 - ongoing)|
|Administrative History||The Davidson family came to Bucksburn from Tarland c 1760. Charles Davidson first began manufacturing paper and snuff in partnership with Charles Smith of Stoneywood, but in 1796, set up on his own, and paper has been made without interruption at Mugiemoss since that date. In 1859 George Davidson took out a patent on the first machine for block-bottom bags, and the firm became the largest paper bag maker in Britain. By 1875 they were turning out over two million bags per week. In the second half of the nineteenth century the company moved into the fields of wrapping papers and felts. It was incorporated as a limited liability company in 1875, and opened warehouses in London, Glasgow, Newcastle, Liverpool and Edinburgh. Unlike other mills in Aberdeenshire, Davidsons have never made fine quality writing papers, but have concentrated upon wrapping papers and packaging products. |
The collection also contains records of Davidson's subsidiary companies, Bonlinkion Felt Company Ltd. (est. c 1883), Davidson's Paper Sales Ltd. (est. 1936), Abertay Paper Sacks Ltd. (est. 1950), and Northern Waste Paper Co. Ltd. (fl 1946 - 1952). Boulinikon Felt Company Ltd. was sold together with its various trade marks and patents to Thomas Mitchell, William Stansfield and Richard Ashworth, felt manufacturers of Waterfoot and Rawtenstall, Lancashire, in Sept 1904. Davidson's Paper Sales Ltd. was formed in 1936 as a wholly owned subsidiary of C. Davidsons and Sons Ltd., whilst Abertay Paper Sacks Ltd., which was formed in 1950 as a joint venture with Jute Industries Ltd. and Low Bonar Ltd., became a wholly owned subsidiary in 1953, when Davidsons purchased the other firm's shares.

Sketch comedy misfire "Movie 43" is the big "winner" of this year's Razzie Awards, taking worst picture, worst director, and worst screenplay at the annual pre-Oscars event, which celebrates the poorest movies and performances of the year. Given that the film — which featured cameos from Halle Berry, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts, Hugh Jackman, Richard Gere and Kate Winslet, among others — had 19 screenwriters and 13 directors, the dubious honor is widely shared.
The Smith family's sci-fi box office bomb "After Earth" also nabbed three of the event's gold spray-painted statues. Jaden Smith took worst lead actor, while Will Smith was named worst supporting actor, and together the duo, described in the ceremony as being "stranded on Planet Nepotism" in the movie, took the trophy for worst screen combo.
Worst actress went to Tyler Perry, dressed in drag, for his performance as the cross-dressing character in "A Madea Christmas," while worst supporting actress went to Kim Kardashian for her role in Perry's Temptation.
Adam Sandler's "Grown Ups 2" was the front runner going into the night with eight nominations, but had the good fortune to lose in every category, going home empty handed.
This year's Razzies were held on Hollywood Boulevard at the Ignited Spaces venue – not far from Sunday night's 86th Academy Awards. Founded in 1980, the Razzies were established as "a logical antidote to Tinsel Town's annual glut of self- congratulatory awards," according to organizers.
Winners of eight of the nine Razzie categories were determined by votes from the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation's 800 members in the U.S. and overseas, while nominees in the ninth category, worst screen combo, were determined by votes from RottenTomatoes.com users.

Smith & Nephew Modular Neck Recall
Hip replacement surgery is a complicated procedure that requires significant recovery time for the patient. Patients going through it hope to have their pain relieved and their mobility returned.
Those in the Pittsburgh and surrounding Ohio Valley areas who were implanted with the Smith & Nephew Modular SMF or Modular REDAPT Revision Femoral Hip Systems, however, should be aware of potential complications. The company recently sent out an urgent field safety notice warning orthopedic surgeons that these implants can create problems like metal poisoning, pain, inflammation, and hip implant loosening. These complications can result in hip implant failure.
Because of a higher-than-expected rate of problems, Smith & Nephew is recalling both of these systems, and withdrawing them completely from the market. Doctors have been told to locate and quarantine any unused devices immediately and return them to the company, and to follow-up with patients and monitor for pain, swelling, limited mobility, and pockets of swelling.
What Went Wrong with the Smith & Nephew Modular Hip Implants?
The problem is that two of the components in this system—the modular head and the modular neck—are both made of metal materials, namely, cobalt and chromium. Over time, these materials can wear against one another, shedding tiny metal fragments into the surrounding joint and tissues.
These metal fragments are poisonous to tissues, and can cause inflammation, swelling, pseudotumors (non-cancerous, fluid-filled tumors), bone damage and bone loss, and gradual loosening of the implant that can lead to failure.
Some of these fragments can also enter the bloodstream, causing a condition called “metallosis.” This is also dangerous, as it can lead to tissue neurosis, metal poisoning, nerve damage, and organ damage.
This is the same problem that’s occurred with several other hip implant systems, including the Smith & Nephew R3 Acetabular system. Back in 2012, the company recalled this system, too, because the metal components were rubbing together and causing corrosion and metallosis. In this case, it was the metal liner on the head component (the part that fits into the hip socket), and the ball component, which fits inside the metal liner.
After it had been on the market for a few years, the R3 was linked to a higher-than-normal revision rate of 6.3 percent in four years compared to the average of 2.89 percent for most implants.
Now, the Smith & Nephew Modular implants are showing a similar trend of being linked with a higher rate of problems than was expected. In their field notice, the company stated that the complaints were “trending upward,” with an overall complaint rate (number of complaints compared with total implantations) of 0.527 percent for the Modular SMF and 0.25 percent for the Modular REDAPT system.
“Overall,” they stated, “the Metal-related Adverse Events accounted for the highest category of complaints in both products.”
Modular Hip Implants Increase Risk of Corrosion and Loosening
A modular neck hip implant is a hip implant system designed to have an interchangeable femoral neck. This is the part of the implant that serves as a bridge between the femoral stem that goes into the thighbone and the head, which goes into the hip socket.
With modular systems, surgeons can choose which neck will provide the best fit for each patient. Smith & Nephew offered several options, so that doctors could build the implant to not only work well with the anatomy of the patient, but also to provide the best movement angle and mobility.
In a 2009 study, researchers acknowledged that modular neck implants “are an attractive treatment tool in total hip replacement.” The ability to adjust the center of the head relative to the stem, by connecting the neck in a different position was thought to provide versatility during surgery.
They also noted, however, that “fretting caused by micro-motion between the modular components may lead to particle and ion release to the surrounding tissue.” These metal particles can become trapped between the surfaces, leading to bone loss, corrosion and implant failure.
A 2009 study review on modular neck hip systems reported that since the early 1990s, there has been a dramatic increase in total hip implants with modular necks. Again, the researchers acknowledged the clinical advantages of the modular neck, as it allows surgeons to properly fit leg length and angle. In reviewing 16 studies, though, they found that six of the neck components showed significant fretting, as well as corrosion in the neck-stem taper after only about 39 months.
Researchers concluded that even with corrosion-resistant materials, “increased modularity can lead to fretting and crevice corrosion, metal ion generation, and particulate debris that may contribute to” bone loss and hip implant loosening.
Unfortunately, Smith & Nephew Modular Hip implants, as well as other brands of modular implants made of metal materials are having these issues.
Types of Smith & Nephew Modular Neck Injuries
Patients in the Ohio Valley area who have been implanted with Smith & Nephew modular hip replacement systems need to be aware of potential complications. Early symptoms of corrosion, fretting, or metallosis include:
- Swelling in the area of the implant
- Difficulty walking or getting up from a seated position
- Noise coming from the implant, like clicking or popping
A thorough examination can reveal if there are problems with the implant. Doctors can perform blood tests to check for metal ions in the bloodstream, and can use imaging tests to look for signs of swelling, inflammation, pseudotumors, or indications of implant loosening.
If the components are rubbing against one another and causing friction and shedding, complications may include:
- Loosening hip implant
- Metal poisoning (metallosis)
- Soft-tissue growths (called pseudotumors)
- Bone damage and bone loss
- Confusion, headaches and dizziness
- Tingling in the arms and legs
- Hip implant failure requiring revision surgery
Risks of Smith & Nephew Revision Surgery
Patients who develop these symptoms because of metal fretting are likely to feel very disappointed. Hip implant systems are supposed to last from 10-15 years. Patients that end up with problems like these usually start to fail within a much shorter time, often 2-4 years.
Doctors can fix the problem by performing revision surgery, during which they remove the problematic implant and replace it with a new implant. Unfortunately, these surgeries are typically more complicated and come with more risks than initial hip implant surgeries. They take longer because the surgeon has to clean out any corrosion and address any damaged or dead tissue around the joint. They have to remove the old implant, which can take time because usually there has been some bone growth into the implant itself.
Once they have removed the old one, they then implant the new one, but recovery often takes longer for the patient than following the initial surgery. That equals more lost wages, and more financial pressure on families, say nothing of the personal pain and suffering.
All of this creates a huge upset in a person’s life, which is why patients diagnosed with premature hip implant failure should check with a Smith & Nephew hip implant lawyer. Manufacturers should be held responsible for failing to properly test and study their products before releasing them on the market, and injured patients deserve compensation for medical costs and other losses.
Smith & Nephew Modular Neck Lawsuits
If you or a loved one were implanted with a Smith & Nephew Modular SMF or Modular REDAPT hip implant system and then suffered from complications, you may be entitled to compensation. Patients shouldn’t have to shoulder the costs for revision surgery, recovery care, lost wages, and more on their own.

Discuss the thematic concerns of the novel and show their relation to the time in which the book was published.
I would say that one of the pressing themes of the novel is the idea of phoniness and how exterior appearance drives social interactions and one's vision of self. This is evidenced in Holden's own demeanor toward those he considers "phony" and how he views the "established" and "respected" institutions as hollow and disingenuous. While society deems them so, Holden goes to painstaking ends to disprove such a judgment. In many ways, Holden's critique of his social setting is also one of the time period. The 1950s, the post- war America, was driven by the pursuit and achievement of the externally determined "American Dream." The ability to display a level of material wealthy and display all the trappings that went along with it became the primary motivation within many Americans. The dialogue to explore insufficiency in the governing institutions, to express dissatisfaction with hollow pursuits, and to identify where insincerity existed simply did not exist. In Holden and the novel, one sees where this dialogue is introduced into a setting where it was absent.

Switzerland is set to become the next European country to legalise same-sex marriage after the Council of States, the country’s upper house of legislature, voted in favour of marriage ‘for all’. The potential law was passed with a 22-15 vote, and seven abstentions. The lower house of legislature, the National Council, voted in favour of marriage equality in June, and the bill would also facilitate lesbian couple’s access to sperm donates and co-adoption rights.
According to Swiss Info, the Marriage for All campaign was launched in 2013, but it has taken many years to reach a point where same-sex couples will soon be able to wed. A 2020 survey commissioned by Pink Cross, a Swiss organisation supporting gay and bisexual men, found that over 80% of Swiss respondents said they supported same-sex marriage, with the director of the group saying: “Citizens have long been ready for gay marriage…Parliament now needs to take a step forward.”
ILGA Europe, an advocacy group for the LGBTQ+ community, has ranked Switzerland as the 23rd most equal country in the continent. It has an equality rating of 36% which is below the European average of 48%, despite passing laws earlier this year which provides legal protections from discrimination for gay and bisexual people. The country still has few discrimination protections for trans people, and ILGA Europe believes Switzerland should outlaw medical interventions on intersex minors when they are not necessary.

The LQ4 and LQ9 are the most common Gen III LS blocks, and are very desirable due to the big bore and durable iron construction. Some have made 1,500+ HP on this block.
What is the best LS engine for a swap?
What engine is best for an LS swap? In short, the best engine for your LS or Vortec swap is the one you can afford. Sure, we would all love a shiny new LS3 crate engine from Chevrolet Performance or a rebuilt 5.3L long-block from Summit Racing, but once we crunch the numbers that’s not always possible.
Which is better LS3 or LS7?
Which Is Better, LS3 or LS7? The LS7 is better if you want a high power output, where it gives you 505-horsepower. … The LS3 is also great in power output, though, at 430-horsepower, it is lower than the LS7. If you want more power, the LS7 is a good option.
What is the strongest LS block?
BMP claims its cast-aluminum (357-T6) LS block is, “the absolute strongest available with important improvements that even the factory race blocks don’t have.” The oiling system is priority-main, meaning that oil gets fed to the crank first and the top end last to prevent starving the main bearings of oil.
How much does an LS engine cost?
A complete new LS1 engine, including everything but the computer, is $4900. A complete new LS6 engine, again with everything except the computer, is $6300.
