The Galaxy S9, 2018's hottest phone until the next iPhone, has emerged in new leaked images today, and this time we're seeing the first indication that it will still have a headphone jack. Samsung, LG, and a couple of other companies like OnePlus have remained resolute in their inclusion of a headphone jack, but that was far from a certainty for the next Galaxy S iteration. This is a phone that will compete against the iPhone X, Huawei Mate 10 Pro, and more niche rivals like Google's Pixel 2: all of them surviving sans a headphone jack. So Samsung could have dumped the analog audio output, but it seems to have opted against it, and that's worthy of commendation. USB-C earphones are all still either bad or expensive — or both — and phones that retain compatibility with 3.5mm connectors remain profoundly useful to consumers that aren't yet convinced by Bluetooth.
The full information spill today is actually focused on a new Samsung DeX Pad, which appears to be an evolution of last year's $149 DeX dock for the Galaxy S8. The purpose of these docks is to facilitate connection between the Galaxy device and a nearby monitor, with the smartphone then functioning more or less like a PC. The DeX Pad includes additional USB ports plus a full-size HDMI output and a USB-C connection for power. It doesn't look like the prettiest accessory in the world, but then it's not like too many things will look beautiful once you stick a bunch of cables into them anyway. The pad's reportedly intended to allow the phone to be laid flat and used as a touchpad or keyboard, and it's expected to be backwards-compatible with the Galaxy S8 too.
Aside from the headphone jack's appearance in the images, we can also see Samsung's Bixby button on the Galaxy S9, still located just below the volume rocker on the side. That button, and the Bixby voice assistant in general, hasn't been well received, but Samsung already expressed its commitment to Bixby as a growth driver during its latest financial report, so there's no reason to believe that the company will be abandoning it anytime soon. Even though it should.

Horikawa – Busy Cart Robot Long feet version
Have you ever wondered how a cart would sound like ? well then this is really the robot for you, let me explain. This great robot with yellow litho was produced in the mid 1960`s by Horikawa in Japan. The box explains as follows:
* Stop and Go
* Carries Cart
* Raises his arms discharges goods then arms down
* Realistic Cart Noise
And exactly the last quote pulled my attention …….
CART NOISE Wow !!
Always pay good attention to the text on the boxes of old Japanese toys, its FUN because their english was not always that good ( just like mine )
This Busy Cart Robot is the rare and much scarcer so called: "long feet" version. The robot has different litho also on the legs.
The condition of this busy cart robot is excellent to near mint and the robot has been gently played with. The robot is all original and complete and shows some light playwear.
The cart is original and in mint condition as wel. No rust, dings or whatever and this little hardworking yellow fellow works perfectly with all the actions, CARTNOISE and walking action. No Flaws to mention about this robot. Busy Cart robots were made in several variations with different feet, litho and hats ( even a red hat I believe ) The robot works fine and strong. The robot is accompanied by its original box. The box has 2 tears in the toplid, caused by placing the cart in the box in the wrong direction. The rest of the box is really excellent and is still a very nice example. The box is scarce for this robot.
Horikawa Busy Cart Robot with Long feet and with original cart and box is a scarce combination. Rarely seen in the open market in this condition.

Hi everyone!
Ooh my very first blog post! I am so happy to be here! I hope that I'll explain myself well and that you will enjoy reading this.
In this post we will go through how to grade between sizes, as well as how to grade for height. For those of you who have just picked up sewing, I would like to say that while grading may seem scary, it is absolutely ESSENTIAL if you want to have a good fit. Every body is different, every body is beautiful, and if you take the time to grade your pattern for your body you will end up with something amazing that is custom made to fit YOU!! I don't know about you all, but that was the biggest reason I got into sewing in the first place.
So! Having said that, let's get going 😊 First I will give you my "stats". My measurements are as follows:
High Bust: 39"
Bust: 42"
Waist: 35"
Hip: 51"
According to the size chart, my bust measurement is pretty much between sizes 14 and 16. The pattern I am grading here is the new Hemlock Hoodie (also available in kids sizes and as a bundle), and the recommendation is to size up if between sizes, so my starting point was size 16.
Now as you can see from my measurements above, my hips are much wider than my upper body. My hip measurement puts me in a 22+. In order to make sure that this hoodie will fit me nicely, when choosing my sizes in the layers for printing I selected sizes 16, 18, and 20+. Now you might think wait a minute, you just said your hips put you in a 22+, why not grade out to that size? The reasons are two-fold:
- The pattern's options are straight with a banded bottom, or flared out for a dress. I know there's ease built into both options and that I can get away with blending to a smaller size than what my hips measure and still have it fit correctly.
- The pattern uses knit fabrics, which are more forgiving for fit than woven fabrics with no stretch.
A quick note: I left the size 18 layer on so I can use that size's lines to guide me when doing the pattern blending, but took off size 20 to try and reduce the amount of lines I have overall as the more lines there are the more confusing it can be — especially since my printer only prints in black and white.
Last stat: I am 6'2" which means I'm a teensy bit taller (lol) than what the pattern is drafted for (5'5"). Therefore, I need to grade for height as well. First though let's cover blending between sizes.
So! Once you have your pattern taped up but BEFORE you cut the pieces, you will want to do your blending between sizes. In my case, that means drawing a line from the waist out to the largest hip size. I like to do this by hand rather than using a ruler as you want to try and follow a curve similar to what is already there. Here is a picture of what that looks like (green line):
For the front piece, if you decide that you want to do the pocket option and you having to grade out at the hips like me, you may end up wondering what to do about grading the pocket. This isn't an exact science but here is what I did in this case. First, I re-traced my pocket, so it kind of goes from the size 18 line at the bottom to the size 16 line at the top. I made sure to trace it in a way that would keep the same pocket shape (see green line):
Then, I took my pocket piece and I slipped it under my front piece and aligned it with the line at the top of my blending (the size 16 line) and followed that line to the bottom. This creates a small gap:
After that, I grabbed a small piece of scrap paper and placed it so that it would fill the gap created from how I placed the pocket. I taped that in place and then cut the excess off the end to follow the pocket curve:
And this is what the pocket piece ends up looking like for me:
That's it for the size blending. Now on to adjusting for height.
The general rule for adding or subtracting height from a pattern is to take note of the height the pattern is drafted for, and the difference between that height and yours divided by 2 is the number of inches you have to increase/decrease the pattern by. Essentially, for every inch taller/shorter that you are, you add/remove ½ an inch to the pattern.
In my case, the calculation is as follows:
My height: 6'2"
Pattern drafted for: 5'5"
Difference: 9"
Divided in two that means I have to add 4.5" to my pattern.
Now usually height adjustments aren't so extreme, and you can usually just add/deduct from the waist. However, as the difference gets bigger it's important to spread out the adjustments to ensure a proper fit. Knowing how much to add and where completely depends on your body. For me, while my torso is taller than average it isn't a HUGE difference—the majority of my extra height is in my legs (hello 37" inseam!).
A quick note here that in the rest of this post I'm talking about adding height to a pattern. However, everything I do can be done the other way for those of you that would need to shorten the pattern piece. You would simply overlap the pieces instead of spreading them apart.
In my case, I decided to split up my adjustments by adding 2 inches to the bottom of my sweater, 1.5 inches at the waist, and 1 inch above the chest, in the armscye. **Note** If you are a busty person, it is recommended to add some of that extra height at the chest.
Because I'm adding 2 inches to the bottom of the pattern, rather than cut my pattern pieces and then adding extra paper at the bottom, I added the extra length before I cut my pattern pieces. I used a ruler and every couple of inches I placed a dot, like so:
Next, I drew my new hem line by connecting the dots. Note that I didn't use a ruler to draw a straight line since the hem actually curves slightly and I wanted to follow that same curve:
Now I cut all my pattern pieces out and brought them back up to my sewing room so I could do the rest of the grading. I apologize, my sewing room lighting is apparently not nearly as good as my living room lighting so the picture quality changes from here on out.
Since I did the bottom before cutting my pattern pieces, I now only have two spots where I need to add height to my pattern pieces. First, I added to the waist. In this case, the pattern already has a line to show where the waist is on the pattern piece, so I simply used that line to cut my pattern in two and I spread it apart by the 1.5 inches I wanted to add there. I use my cutting mat to do this since it has the grid on it which makes it super helpful to make sure I'm increasing the piece evenly from one end to the other.
I like using tracing paper for grading my patterns as it is slightly see-through and allows me to ensure that my pattern pieces are still correctly spaced apart once I've added the tracing paper to fill in the space I just created. After I've taped the tracing paper in place, I draw a line that follows the curve of the pattern and cut off the excess:
Next up, adding to the armscye. Because of how tall I am this is a modification I frequently need to do, otherwise I end up with fabric that's really tight in my armpit and can feel very restrictive (this is especially bothersome on tank tops!). I like to draw my line closer to the bottom of the armscye—depending on the neckline of the pattern you're modifying, making the adjustment too high might mean you end up also lengthening the neckline which then means having to make sure you lengthen the neckband/binding.
I then added my tracing paper and taped it in place, same as I did for the waist. As you can see this really messes with the curve for the sleeve. I re-drew my line before cutting off the excess paper (see green line):
And voila! My back piece has been fully graded as needed. Repeat the same thing with the front piece and the sleeve and then you're done!!
For the sleeve do make sure to increase a portion of the length in the armscye so you're matching the length you added to the front & back pieces (1 inch to the front & back armscye = 1 inch to the sleeve armscye as well).
You will want to make sure that you're placing the pattern pieces so they are still properly lined up. After I cut my sleeve piece in two and spread it apart, I made sure that the middle black line was lined up with the same gridline on my cutting mat. I drew a line (red on the picture below) to show where I mean. (Apologies for the amount of times I've said "line" in the above paragraph!) :
And that's it! The pattern is now ready for cutting fabric. I hope you found this post helpful. Please leave a comment below if you have any questions!

WARZONE. President Joe Biden announced moves that will enlarge the U.S. troop presence in Europe and strengthen the NATO alliance. Biden made the announcement at the beginning of the NATO Summit in Madrid today following a welcome from NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.
By Jim Garamone, U.S. Department of Defense, Pentagon, Washington
The move belies efforts by Russian President Vladimir Putin to shatter the Trans-Atlantic alliance. "NATO is strong, united, and the steps we're taking during this summit are going to further augment our collective strength," Biden said. "To that end, today, I'm announcing the United States will enhance our force posture in Europe to respond to the change security environment, as well as strengthening our collective security."
The president's announcement comes on the heels of a surge of 20,000 U.S. service members to Europe to defend alliance countries in the face of Putin's unprovoked and unnecessary war on Ukraine. There are now more than 100,000 U.S. service members serving in Europe with many along the eastern front of the alliance.
The changes the president announced have been made in close consultation with allies and will be made over the coming months.
John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the National Security Council, said the move comes after President Biden has worked for several months to shore up NATO's eastern flank.
"Just since the invasion itself, he ordered the deployment or extension of over 20,000 additional forces to Europe, in response to the crisis, across all domains — air, land, maritime, cyberspace — the whole swath of U.S. military capabilities," Kirby said.
The Madrid Summit must deal with a fundamentally changed security environment, and Biden's announcement is part and parcel of that. The president's moves "are reflective of the United States government's recognition that the security environment has changed and, in particular, in the NATO that the Eastern countries are facing a heightened threat from a Russian leadership that has shown itself willing and capable of launching military attacks on bordering countries," said Celeste A. Wallander, the Defense Department's assistant secretary for international security affairs.
At the summit, Biden said he will increase from four to six the number of U.S. destroyers based at Rota Naval Base, Spain. "In Poland, we're going to establish a permanent headquarters of the U.S. 5th Army Corps and strengthen NATO interoperability across the entire eastern flank," he said.
The Army's V Corps headquarters will be a forward command post, an Army garrison headquarters, and a field support battalion, said DOD officials traveling with Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III, who is also attending the summit. The forces will improve command and control capabilities, interoperability with NATO, and management of prepositioned equipment.
Poland has been a steadfast ally and enabler of many of the alliance's moves, officials said. The United States will also maintain the substantial rotational force presence in Poland, including an armored brigade combat team, a combat aviation brigade element, and a division headquarters element. This enables DOD to deploy combat forces up and down the eastern flank, officials said.
In Romania, the United States will position a rotational brigade combat team. This additional brigade will also maintain the ability to deploy subordinate elements. The U.S. will also enhance its rotational deployments in the Baltic republics. These include armored, aviation, air defense and special operations forces.
The U.S. military will also maintain a persistent, heel-to-toe presence in the region and will intensify training with Baltic allies to maintain combat-credible capabilities, officials said.
Biden also announced deployment of two additional F-35 squadrons to RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom. These fifth-generation fighters will add to the air support for NATO forces throughout Europe.
The president said he will also deploy additional air defense, logistics and engineer assets in Germany and add air defense capabilities to forces in Italy.
These changes come on the heels of deployments made since Putin invaded Ukraine and directly challenged the rules-based infrastructure that has served the world since World War II. The U.S. response included sending airborne forces from Italy to the eastern flank, Stryker units to the front-line states, Patriot batteries to Slovakia and Poland, and F-15s from the United Kingdom to Poland.
In addition, Austin placed thousands of U.S. troops designated for NATO's Rapid Reaction Force on heightened alert for possible deployment to Europe.

Canadian Dollar Price Forecast - USD/CAD Sliding Towards Short-Term Support
What's on this page
Canadian Dollar (CAD) Price, Chart and Analysis
USD/CAD Drifts into Confluence Support
The Canadian Dollar gained in value against the US Dollar this week after touching a four-month high on Monday. The USD/CAD sell-off comes despite the ongoing strength in the greenback and is more of a reflection of an uptick in the price of oil over the last 5 days. The chart below shows that there has been a sell-off reaction on three prior occasions when USD/CAD hits the 1.3320 – 1.3380 zone and this week's move may continue that pattern, especially if the oil market strengthens further.
Later in today's session, a couple of important US data prints, with retail sales released at 13:30 GMT and the provisional University of Michigan sentiment out at 15:00 GMT. Both have the ability to move the US currency.
The daily USD/CAD chart shows a near-term support zone close by between 1.3232 and 1.3236 with the 20-day moving average marginally higher at 1.3242. This is the first time the 20-dma has been tested since January 22. Below here, the 200-dma currently sits at 1.3188. There are a few recent highs on the way back up to 1.3300 which may be difficult to overcome unless the US data drives the greenback higher.

On a night full of highlights, Jennings' around-the-back dish may have been the best
In the grand scheme of the universe, everything about game three just felt right. Don't get me wrong, I fully expect the Hawks to bounce back with a much better effort on Monday, and actually winning the series will still require a rather Herculean effort on the Bucks' part (and a win on the road, too). But the Bucks' players, coaches, staff, and fans deserved at least one more night where all the good things about the 09/10 season could be celebrated--Bogut's injury and the first two games in Atlanta be damned. And fortunately, the Bucks delivered exactly that. Yes, the 107-89 victory represented a much-needed first playoff win, but it was also a well-deserved celebration of what this season's Bucks have been all about.
For me that was as much a relief as anything else. I flew into town Saturday morning for the specific purpose of watching games three and four in person, so yeah, you could say I was a little more amped up for a win than the average person. After the jump check out some additional thoughts and observations from the Bucks' first home playoff game in four years.
Game Observations
Jennings' swagger. By now you've probably seen Brandon's shimmy in the fourth quarter, but even more important was the way he rose to the occasion in the first. His three triples to open the game got the crowd into it early, showing once again his incredible sense of the moment, and he was into it as well: pounding his chest to the crowd, flashing his three-point monocle. He loved it, we loved it...the playoffs were back in Milwaukee.
Cruising. There wasn't anything too surprising about the Bucks winning, or even the way they fed off the crowd's energy to jump all over the Hawks early on. Up 2-0, this was the game where you'd expect the Hawks to get complacent, and there's no denying how much better both of these teams are at home than on the road. But I will say that I expected the Hawks to put up a better fight in the final three quarters, much as the Bucks chipped away and fought back in game one. Things seemed to be swinging that direction at the end of the second quarter, beginning when Marvin Williams' late pull-up three got them to within 12 at the break. Things continued to go that way in the third when Johnson hit a three and then made a pair of free throws to cut the Bucks' lead to single digits.
For a moment it seemed like the Bucks would be in for a fight, but it ended up being a false alarm. Jennings found the much-maligned Carlos Delfino wide open for a right corner three on the next possession, pushing the lead back to 12 on the Argentine's first three of the series. After Thomas forced a Horford miss, Mbah a Moute then drew a foul and made both free throws, and Jennings then found Mbah a Moute streaking down the middle for an acrobatic transition lay-in to get the lead to 16. Moments later, Jennings passed through perimeter pressure to find Mbah a Moute at the free throw line, and the Prince located Delfino in the same spot on the right side for another three.
Containing Josh. The toughest Hawk to cover drew the Bucks' best defender (Mbah a Moute) early, and it's hard to argue with the strategy on a night when Mbah a Moute somehow outscored Smith. While Salmons was perfectly respectable hanging with Johnson, Mbah a Moute's length and quickness predictably bothered Smith more than Delfino had in the first two games.
Aside from the defense, Smith also just appeared a step slow, and in the second half flat out didn't look like he wanted to be on the court anymore. He got up slowly on two or three occasions following hard fouls and scrums on the court, though it's tough tell whether his main problem was mentally or physically. And naturally, the crowd--which booed Smith at every turn--absolutely loved it. While Smith is unlikely to play this poorly on Monday, give the Bucks credit: they made adjustments and the Hawks didn't do anything to counter them.
Horford vs. KT. Hard to believe Kurt Thomas' numbers (26 min, 4/4 fg, 8 pts, 13 rebs) dwarfed those of Al Horford (31 min, 5/9 fg, 10 pts, 3 rebs), especially given the way Horford single-handedly kept the Hawks afloat with eight straight points (including three jumpers) midway through the third. But Horford really didn't do anything with the exception of that two minute stretch in the third, and Thomas finally had his jumper locked in after a couple weeks of struggles. It's also tough for Horford to rebound when the Bucks aren't missing shots, isn't it?
Non-Game Thoughts
Hammond honored pregame. John Hammond accepted the executive of the year award from Bob Lanier before tipoff--getting a well-deserved standing ovation. Unfortunately, they apparently misspelled his name "Hammand" on the actual award (I think it was Channel 4 which had a close-up last night). People constantly refer to him as "Hammonds," but Hammand? Has anyone ever spelled it that way? C'mon, NBA.
How to make the most of a Richard Jefferson jersey. One of the guys in front of me made an unfortunate decision a year ago: he bought a Bucks red alternate Richard Jefferson jersey. Fortunately, he found the perfect way to make the most of it.
Well played, sir. By the way, in case you're wondering, Jefferson is averaging 9.7 ppg in the playoffs for the Spurs, while Stackhouse is averaging 12.3 ppg. Not to be overlooked is that Jefferson is making $14.2 million this year, while Stackhouse is getting just over $422k. Somewhere, John Hammond is giggling.
Red alert. Plenty of teams go for the "white out" approach in the playoffs, so I give the Bucks some credit for going unconventional with the decision to go red in game one. But if the Bucks are going with a team color, how about green? From a selfish standpoint, all of my Bucks gear is either green or brown (I have a brown retro logo shirt), and at least with green you don't have to worry about the Hawks showing up wearing the same color as the rally rags. I guess red is more visually impactful, but whatever...I don't want to buy another shirt, people.
Giving Bogut his due. The big man was no longer sporting the huge robo-arm-brace thing he had in Atlanta, though he was still wearing that big cast on his lower arm and hand, limiting him to lefty high fives during timeouts. You know it's killing him that he can't play, but that doesn't mean he couldn't enjoy his teammates' win. Bogut was bopping and grooving on the bench in the final minutes as Squad Six got their "Ole" chant going (below, may take a minute to load), and they capped it off with an "AN-DREW BO-GUT!" chant in the final minute. Squad 6: still dominating.
Seniorgee crushes it. Seniorgee's dance routine in the second half was easily the entertainment highlight of the evening for me, though I also enjoyed the video the Bucks put together of Bango going after Hawks fans in the streets of Milwaukee. My only complaint: the Hawks fans were always wearing Al Horford jerseys, when it clearly would have been more villainous to cast them in Josh Smith jerseys.

Made with love from Sweden 🇸🇪
Let customers speak for us
The most comfortable plug I've Ever owned. I can wear it for hours and the view it gives is amazing! You won't regret it.
This ring is great! 60mm size and the premium silicone are very comfortable. The silicone also seems much sturdier than others I've tried. Highly recommended.
I love thath plug
Good sturdy material and nice surface finish. It keeps me open really well. I love looking at my gaping hole and using the plug paired with a long slim dildo.
Soft and strong in the same time, a great product very comfortable to use.
The feeling of the material and how it looks says it's a great plug. I haven't had time to use it yet. I have ha huge collection of most plugs and big handmade dildos/stretchers on the market and it's a lot of shit products out there and this in not one of them.
Looking forward to testing it and order a larger one when it comes.
I love it! Soft and flexible when it is inserted and firm enough to fill me up when in place.
Grymt skön o sitter som en smäck runt mitt vapen 👍🏻
Un super produit pas trop dur pas trop souple je recommande fortement les photo sur mais réseau arrière
Finding a good looking and good fitting ring isn't easy but the black ones here both 50 and 60 mm have it all.
Was surprise how easy they are too put on stretching out a bit but still maintain their original size well. The robust design with a pattern on the outside is a nice touch while still being wide and very comfortable too have on for a evening or days. Highly recommend them for anyone that is looking for a quality product
Had great fun using this its comfortable and durable ! Feels great in your ass , think i may need the next size up mmm

Introduction to Web Design Lecture number:
Todays Aim: Introduction to Web-designing and how its done. Modelling websites in HTML.
Web-sites A website is a document comprising of text, images, videos, and links to other websites. Websites are usually hosted on web-servers Web-server is usually a normal computer listening to port 80 and addressed by an internet IP and/or a domain name Example: http://www.google.com:80www.google.com:80
How are websites made Websites are constructed of small HTML blocks called Tags. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML is a designing language where we describe a visual design in terms of text. Example: This is a very large heading ( are the tags)
Basic HTML structure In building every structure we need to make the skeleton first. In a website the skeleton consists of three things: i. The Header ii. The Title iii.The Body
The website Header The website header or HTTP header is a few bytes of information exchanged between the web-server and web-browser. It contains information about the type of data that is being exchanged and/or any answers to requests made by the client. In HTML a header is represented by tags.
HTML element The element may contain vital information called meta data which describes the website in terms of its owner, related keywords,type of document etc. The meta elements make it easier for search engines to index(or categorize) the website. Example: would describe an automobile related website.
The website title The Title describes the current documents title which is displayed in the title bar of the web browser. Title is represented by the tags in HTML. Example: Welcome to Engineerd.NET
The website body It is the actual content of the website. Represented by tags. We may change the websites background color, background image, margins, and any events that we want to take place when the website is loaded or closed etc. Example: …content….
Making a basic website A basic website shall be stored as.html or.htm extension. We need to write down the code in notepad and then run it in the web-browser. The web-browser translates or parses the HTML code.
Making a basic website(2) Open windows notepad and write down the following code and save as mywebpage.html: Welcome to my website
Making a basic website(3) Now browse to that website and double click it (if you have a web-browser like Internet Explorer installed). A browser window should open displaying the output of the code. This is a basic HTML web-page.
HTML tags and attributes Every HTML tag is enclosed in angle brackets <>. We must end every HTML tag we can do this by putting a separate tag consisting name of the tag preceded by a forward slash / or simply a / at the end of the same tag depending on whether its a container tag or not(container tags consist of some text between the opening and closing tags Examples: Some title (container) or (non-container) Attributes are used for fine tuning the tags by specifying their colors or widths etc.
HTML tags and attributes(2) Every tag has its own set of attributes. Examples: or some text General HTML tag syntax:..contained text..
Some typical tags Some of the most commonly used HTML tags are: i. Headings,, … ( ) ii. Font iii. Images iv. Line break v. Horizontal Rule vi. Hyper links and Anchors
HTML Headings HTML headings are bold weighted text. Their sizes may very between six different levels. Headings are specified by and. Container tag, i-e Some text or Some text etc.
Headings example Check the output for the following HTML code(after providing the skeleton code). This is a level-1 heading its the biggest This is a level-2 heading This is a level-3 heading This is a level-4 heading This is a level-5 heading This is a level-6 heading its the smallest
Headings: Output
Working with text( tag) The tag is used to format the text by specifying different text colors, sizes, faces etc. It is a container tag so the text to be formatted must fall inside the opening and closing tags. Common attributes are color face and size. Example:...Text to be formatted...
Working with text:example Observe the output for the following html code: Some Text Here
Working with text: Output(magnified)
Working with Images An image adds to the vibrance of a web- page. We can add images in gif, jpg or png formats. The tag is used to represent images. is a non-container tag. Typical attributes are: src, alt, width, height.
Working with images(2) src specifies the source of the image on the computer(we have to specify the complete path if the image is not in the same folder as the web-page). alt specifies a piece of text that will be displayed if the image is not available or is yet loading.
Working with Images: Example Observe the output for the following HTML code: If the web-page is stored on desktop, make sure there is a folder named images on desktop which contain an image file named image1.gif.
Horizontal Rule Used to draw a horizontal line anywhere in the HTML document. Typical attributes are color, align and width. width can have a value in pixels or in percents of the screen, align is used to for horizontal alignment of the line it can be center, left or right. Example: or
Hyperlinks A Hyper link is an image or text which when clicked, opens another web-page, or file. It is like a doorway or a portal to another page. Hyperlinks are represented by the tag and we can specify the link as a value to the href attribute. Example: Click Here The tag is a container tag, it can contain text or images, eg
Hyperlinks: Example The browser applies a default formatting to every hyperlink i-e blue color and underlining, we can over- ride this using css which well study later on. Try to check the output for the following code: Visit Google! and When you roll the mouse over a hyperlink, the cursor changes.
Anchors An anchor is part of a webpage that can be accessed using a hyperlink. Anchors specify locations inside a webpage. For-example: http://www.google.com refers to the whole webpage whereas http://www.google.com#anchor1 refers to a point called anchor1 inside the google.com page.http://www.google.com http://www.google.com#anchor1 To specify anchors we simply put the tag with the name attribute eg: Anchors are specifically helpful in lengthy pages like online tutorials/books etc for navigational purposes. Image as hyperlink
Working with Tables We can create tables in HTML, a table is represented by the tag and it must contain rows and columns. A row is represented by tag and a column by. We must create a row first and then create the columns inside the row. We can specify the border etc in the tag.
Working with Tables: Example
Lists Coffee Milk Coffee Black hot drink Milk White cold drink

As if we hadn't been through enough -- the climate crisis season of 2020 is fully upon us now.
We are now seeing record breaking fire activity across the west -- with rare lightning storms, coupled with a heat wave and 20 year mega-drought, leading to over 1.3 million acres destroyed, at least 7 deaths, evacuations ,and extremely unhealthy air quality (at times the worst air quality in the world). Add to that the new normal of rolling blackouts imposed by Pacific Gas & Electric during fire season, as a result of decades of grid neglect. And the new twist: COVID-19 has so severely devastated our incarcerated population that the prison labor these states previously relied upon to fight these fires is now too sick to help, making it much more difficult to contain the fires.
Corporate rule is at the root of all of this -- from the fossil fuel companies fueling the climate chaos and pollution, to PG&E putting corporate profits above safety for decades, to our dependence on modern day slavery in a for-profit prison system. Help us continue building the movement to end corporate rule by sharing our petition, so we can keep flexing our numbers and racking up cosponsors for the #WeThePeopleAmendment.
Turning toward the Gulf, we watched Hurricane Laura become a powerhouse Category 4 storm, causing massive damage, power outages and over 20 fatalities in the Caribbean before making landfall in Port Charles, LA -- battering the coast, setting chemical fires that have made the air toxic, and killing at least 7 -- with the full effects of massive surge flooding still remaining to be seen. Climate change and decades of crumbling infrastructure are to blame.
As other movements for social and racial justice rise with the climate justice movement, corporate personhood and money in politics remain our biggest roadblock to democracy. Share the petition on your social media, text and email your friends, and get everyone in your household to sign the Motion to Amend!!
P.S. Move to Amend has been hard-hit by the recent downturn, as we weren't eligible for relief in the CARES Act -- as a grassroots funded organization, we are asking those WHO CAN, to step up and help us continue this fight. Please make a generous donation today!

E. Patricia Tsurumi, 1938-2016
by Janet Goodwin
Posted on behalf of Christina Laffin.
I write to inform colleagues about the recent death of E. Patricia Tsurumi, historian and professor emerita at the University of Victoria in Canada. Known for her thoroughly-researched scholarship grounded in a strong sense of social justice, Paddy contributed to the history of women, education, colonialism, and labour.
Paddy Tsurumi is best known for her groundbreaking study of labourers, Factory Girls: Women in the Thread Mills of Meiji Japan (1990), which was awarded the Canada-Japan Book Prize from the Canada Council. Sally Hastings notes how this work established the field for further studies on Meiji women: "Tsurumi showed in no uncertain terms that in the Meiji period, the women who earned the foreign exchange that built industrial Japan by and large acted out of self-interest rather than blind patriotism and resisted their employers to the extent possible."
Based on her Harvard dissertation, Paddy published Japanese Colonial Education in Taiwan, 1895-1945 (1977), and later edited The Other Japan: Postwar Realities (1987) for the Bulletin of Concerned Asian Scholars while playing an active role in this organization. Her articles and book chapters span the fields of premodern to modern history and historiography, the history of education, and the social history of early feminist writers and historians.
Paddy practiced her scholarship with an infectious zeal and exuberance as she addressed gaps in Japan's prewar, wartime, and postwar history; documented forgotten writers and scholars; and brought women's contributions to light.
Unwavering in her support of junior scholars and the underdogs of academia, Paddy went above and beyond to connect students to resources or even provide housing in times of need. She was a champion of women scholars and those who did not follow the traditional trajectory for academic advancement, and thus encouraged a retiree with an interest in Japanese-Canadian history to carry out doctoral research, resulting in Midge Ayukawa's Hiroshima Immigrants in Canada, 1891-1941 (also translated into Japanese), a work that would expand our understanding of Western Canadian immigrant history.
After retiring from the University of Victoria, Paddy moved to one of the Northern Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Hornby Island, where she continued to conduct research on the early feminists Yamakawa Kikue (1890–1980) and Takamure Itsue (1894–1964) and to teach courses for residents.
Through her scholarship, Paddy encouraged us to seek out evidence of lived experiences and to go beyond simple narratives of victimhood and agency. She wrote of Meiji factory women, "If we really want to unravel their history we shall have to keep listening for their voices."
An obituary and guest book hosted by the local newspaper can be found here:

Deaths; final data for 2006
April 17, 2009
Personal Author:
Corporate Authors:
Description:Objectives: This report presents final 2006 data on U.S. deaths, death rates, life expectancy, infant and maternal mortality, and trends by selected characteristics such as age, sex, Hispanic origin, race, marital status, educational attainment, injury at work, state of residence, and cause of death. It also presents more detailed information than previously presented about the mortality experience of the American Indian or Alaska Native and the Asian or Pacific Islander populations. Methods: Information reported on death certificates, which are completed by funeral directors, attending physicians, medical examiners, and coroners, is presented in descriptive tabulations. The original records are filed in state registration offices. Statistical information is compiled in a national database through the Vital Statistics Cooperative Program of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. Causes of death are processed in accordance with the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10). Results: In 2006, a total of 2,426,264 deaths were reported in the United States. The age-adjusted death rate was 776.5 deaths per 100,000 standard population, a decrease of 2.8 percent from the 2005 rate and a record low historical figure. Life expectancy at birth rose 0.3 years, from a revised 2005 value of 77.4 years to a record 77.7 years in 2006. Age-specific death rates increased for those aged 25-34 years but decreased for most other age groups: 5-14 years, 35-44 years, 45-54 years, 55-64 years, 65-74 years, 75-84 years, and 85 years and over. The 15 leading causes of death in 2006 remained the same as in 2005. Heart disease and cancer continued to be the leading and second-leading causes of death, together accounting for almost half of all deaths. The infant mortality rate in 2006 was 6.69 deaths per 1,000 live births. Conclusions: Mortality patterns in 2006, such as the decline in the age-adjusted death rate to a record historical low, were generally consistent with long-term trends. Life expectancy increased in 2006 from 2005.

Classic White Wigs
Our Classic White wigs are solid, bright white. Classic White is a bright pure white wig with no undertones or variation. Under natural light, the white fibers are bright and pure. Indoor fluorescent lighting has yellow tone and will give the wig a slight yellow tone (as seen here).
Direct lighting, like from a white flash, will increase the intensity of the white. If using a yellow flash or filtered flash there is a possibility of color variation. Studio lighting will have the same effect as natural lighting if the studio lighting is white. All our Classic White wigs are shot under studio lighting.
You can purchase a Classic White color sample here to check out the color in person before purchasing a Classic White wig.

Neil Gaiman shared this advice in the Masterclass Series. To inspect your own life and the community around and you and look at it from a different perspective. A great way to write with emotional honesty is to use the influences in your life with which you have an emotional connection.
It will be no surprise to know I have a great of connections to fairytales and folktales as I do to a place. By the age of twenty, I had lived in two countries and more than a dozen houses in different communities. At this point in my life, I have expanded to have lived in seven countries. More than twenty houses. So the place I have the most connection to would be the village my mother was born and where I attended university in Canada. Folktales tend to explore the idea of Other. I found the more we move, the more I feel Other. I no longer fit in where I grew up, and I am new to where we move to.
For my daughter, there is a term: Third Culture Kid.
As a parent of a Third Culture Kid, I consider myself a wanderer. There is always something to be cherished in our new home town and country and something to be missed by those that we have left behind. What I have gathered from all of the places are their stories. I pick up books filled with folktales, fairytales, as well as recipes. Cultural food is an important part of the past and current culture. But back to writing inspiration.
Neil Gaiman suggested taking a tale, a story you grew up with, and to look at it with fresh eyes. What doesn't make sense? Step back and consider how that tale might change with modern beliefs and labels. Look at it from a different perspective, take one of the big plot points or characters and twist it.
I decided to use one of Grimm's fairytales. I have multiple copies of their stories, but the one I chose was an English translation of their original 1812 and 1815 books. They were darker and not necessarily full stories. But they were the closest to the original tales the Grimm family collected. Of the 156 stories included, I chose one of my favourites, Rapunzel.
Jack Zipes's provides important historical context, including the Grimms' prefaces and notes.
I am sharing a link to Rapunzel from Project Gutenberg as there is the audio as well as the ebook formats available for anyone to enjoy. There was no mention of God in the original version, and the Enchantress was a fairy, Rapunzel became pregnant, and there was no kingdom, but otherwise, the version follows along well with the original tale.
The Project Gutenberg eBook version
There were once a man and a woman who had long in in vain wished for a child. At length the woman hoped that God was about to grant her desire. These people had a little window at the back of their house from which a splendid garden could be seen, which was full of the most beautiful flowers and herbs. It was, however, surrounded by a high wall, and no one dared to go into it because it belonged to an enchantress, who had great power and was dreaded by all the world. One day the woman was standing by this window and looking down into the garden, when she saw a bed which was planted with the most beautiful rampion (rapunzel), and it looked so fresh and green that she longed for it, and had the greatest desire to eat some. This desire increased every day, and as she knew that she could not get any of it, she quite pined away, and looked pale and miserable. Then her husband was alarmed, and asked, "What ails you, dear wife?" "Ah," she replied, "if I can't get some of the rampion which is in the garden behind our house, to eat, I shall die." The man, who loved her, thought, "Sooner than let your wife die, bring her some of the rampion yourself, let it cost you what it will." In the twilight of evening, he clambered down over the wall into the garden of the enchantress, hastily clutched a handful of rampion, and took it to his wife. She at once made herself a salad of it, and ate it with much relish. She, however, liked it so much, so very much, that the next day she longed for it three times as much as before. If he was to have any rest, her husband must once more descend into the garden. In the gloom of evening, therefore, he let himself down again; but when he had clambered down the wall he was terribly afraid, for he saw the enchantress standing before him. "How can you dare," said she with angry look, "to descend into my garden and steal my rampion like a thief? You shall suffer for it!" "Ah," answered he, "let mercy take the place of justice. I only made up my mind to do it out of necessity. My wife saw your rampion from the window, and felt such a longing for it that she would have died if she had not got some to eat." Then the enchantress allowed her anger to be softened, and said to him, "If the case be as you say, I will allow you to take away with you as much rampion as you will, only I make one condition, you must give me the child which your wife will bring into the world; it shall be well treated, and I will care for it like a mother." The man in his terror consented to everything, and when the little one came to them, the enchantress appeared at once, gave the child the name of Rapunzel, and took it away with her.
Rapunzel grew into the most beautiful child beneath the sun. When she was twelve years old, the enchantress shut her into a tower, which lay in a forest, and had neither stairs nor door, but quite at the top was a little window. When the enchantress wanted to go in, she placed herself beneath this, and cried,
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your hair to me."
Rapunzel had magnificent long hair, fine as spun gold, and when she heard the voice of the enchantress she unfastened her braided tresses, wound them round one of the hooks of the window above, and then the hair fell twenty yards down, and the enchantress climbed up by it.
After a year or two, it came to pass that the King's son rode through the forest and went by the tower. Then he heard a song, which was so charming that he stood still and listened. This was Rapunzel, who in her solitude passed her time in letting her sweet voice resound. The King's son wanted to climb up to her, and looked for the door of the tower, but none was to be found. He rode home, but the singing had so deeply touched his heart, that every day he went out into the forest and listened to it. Once when he was thus standing behind a tree, he saw that an enchantress came there, and he heard how she cried,
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your hair."
Then Rapunzel let down the braids of her hair, and the enchantress climbed up to her. "If that is the ladder by which one mounts, I will for once try my fortune," said he, and the next day, when it began to grow dark, he went to the tower and cried.
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your hair."
Immediately the hair fell down, and the King's son climbed up.
At first Rapunzel was terribly frightened when a man such as her eyes had never yet beheld came to her; but the King's son began to talk to her quite like a friend, and told her that his heart had been so stirred that it had let him have no rest, and he had been forced to see her. Then Rapunzel lost her fear, and when he asked her if she would take him for a husband, and she saw that he was young and handsome, she thought, "He will love me more than old Dame Gothel does;" and she said yes, and laid her hand in his. She said, "I will willingly go away with you, but I do not know how to get down. Bring with you a skein of silk every time that you come, and I will weave a ladder with it, and when that is ready I will descend, and you will take me on your horse." They agreed that until that time he should come to her every evening, for the old woman came by day. The enchantress remarked nothing of this, until once Rapunzel said to her, "Tell me, Dame Gothel, how it happens that you are so much heavier for me to draw up than the young King's son—he is with me in a moment." "Ah! you wicked child," cried the enchantress, "what do I hear you say! I thought I had separated you from all the world, and yet you have deceived me!" In her anger she clutched Rapunzel's beautiful tresses, wrapped them twice round her left hand, seized a pair of scissors with the right, and snip, snip, they were cut off, and the lovely braids lay on the ground. And she was so pitiless that she took poor Rapunzel into a desert, where she had to live in great grief and misery.
On the same day, however, that she cast out Rapunzel, the enchantress in the evening fastened the braids of hair which she had cut off to the hook of the window, and when the King's son came and cried,
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your hair,"
she let the hair down. The King's son ascended, but he did not find his dearest Rapunzel above, but the enchantress, who gazed at him with wicked and venomous looks. "Aha!" she cried mockingly. "You would fetch your dearest, but the beautiful bird sits no longer singing in the nest; the cat has got it, and will scratch out your eyes as well. Rapunzel is lost to you; you will never see her more." The King's son was beside himself with pain, and in his despair he leapt down from the tower. He escaped with his life, but the thorns into which he fell pierced his eyes. Then he wandered quite blind about the forest, ate nothing but roots and berries, and did nothing but lament and weep over the loss of his dearest wife. Thus he roamed about I in misery for some years, and at length came to the desert where Rapunzel lived in wretchedness. He heard a voice, and it seemed so familiar to him that he went towards it, and when he approached, Rapunzel knew him and fell on his neck and wept. Two of her tears wetted his eyes, and they grew clear again, and he could see with them as before. He led her to his kingdom, where he was joyfully received, and they lived for a long time afterwards, happy and contented.
Part 2 I will share my version of Rapunzel. My intension is to follow the original storyline but to change the protagonist to the fairy. We will see how it turns out.
What story would you choose to rewrite? Happy Writing!

This is documentation about how to create or run events at Noisebridge or related to Noisebridge.
Events INSIDE Noisebridge
Step 1: Does the event need a permit?
Most events don't need permits. How to tell if the event needs a permit?
1. It has live music or live DJs.
2. It expects up to 49 people or more to stay inside at the same time.
If both of these are true for the event, then the event need a "One Time Indoor Entertainment Event Permit".
Step 2: Do things to prepare for the event
For ALL events (Meetups, Hackathons, etc.)
Please see: "Hosting an Event"
For Large (And More Importantly NOISY) Events Inside Noisebridge That Require Permits
Please do this additional step: "Permits For Events"
Events OUTSIDE Noisebridge, But Related To Noisebridge
After completing the above steps
Please add the events to Noisebridge's Meetup page, and to the Calendar of https://discuss.noisebridge.info
Afterwards, please promote the event through social media (Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, facebook, etc.) to promote the event.
Thanks for reading! ^_^

By a happy coincidence, everyone who writes for 1UP has his or her own beat, so to speak — that is, particular types of games they know well and tend to cover at events. Considering we're down to a skeleton crew (thanks, housing bubble!), that works out pretty well for us. You've probably noticed that (when I'm not just writing about old stuff) my beat tends to center around Nintendo and Square Enix, which is why I spent 90% of my E3 time either in those companies' booths or talking to their people. And why that infectious New Super Mario Bros. Wii theme was stuck in my head for a week.
Being so immersed in those specifics, I was only able to take a cursory glance at what everyone else had on display for the show. I saw just enough to assure me that I needn't feel as disenfranchised by the medium as I have for the past year, because even amidst all the massively hyped, adolescent pandering of the industry's God of War IIIs and Bayonettas are tons of interesting, creative, inventive, appealing works. You have the obvious selections like critical darling Scribblenauts, but also a sequel to the merely-pretty-good New Super Mario Bros. that somehow looks a lot more fun than the sequel to the sublime Super Mario Galaxy, a Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles game I'm actually looking forward to playing, and the first-ever survival horror game I can't wait to experience.
Most gratifying, though, was the realization that Nintendo deserves a "Most Improved" ribbon for their showing this year. The company's releases tend to be pretty divisive of late, with long-time fans feeling abandoned amidst shouts of "non-games" and "casual nonsense" and other such epithets. There's a real us-or-them mindset about Nintendo, at least from fans, but at E3 I feel the company proved that those distinctions are arbitrary at best, completely erroneous at worst. Listening to executives and designers speak made it clear that they recognize the different needs of different groups, but don't necessarily find them mutually exclusive. NSMB Wii is the embodiment of this concept, taking a game (Super Mario Bros.) that everyone knows and everyone loves, regardless of demographic, and creating an expression of that series that can be played, simultaneously, by the full array of its fans. They tried for something like that with Mario Kart Wii, I think, but that was a frigging mess. NSMB Wii, on the other hand, totally nails it.
Wii Sports Resort nails it, too. You know, I've never even played Wii Sports — nothing about it interested me, and for some inexplicable reason people are willing to pay $40 for a free pack-in title on eBay, so I sold my copy last year. But the sequel looks excellent, from what little I've played: the archery event is phenomenal, and the kendo portions are great. (The 100-man standoff, which I'm calling "O-Mii-Chanbara," looks like the realization of something Bushido Blade attempted but did poorly.) Sure, I can't help but wish I were doing the archery in a Zelda game — which will happen in due time — but even here, in the context of standalone athletic events, it's incredibly addictive.
Between those two games, you have the whole of Nintendo's strategy, which is transcending boundaries and groups and demographics with games that appeal to everyone. Mario reaches out to the casual player from the company's history of traditional games, while Wii Sports Resort beckons the long-time fan from the shores of pleasant, lightweight, universal gaming diversions. They may be coming from different places, but the end result should be the same: a good time to be had by all.
The fact of the matter is that Nintendo's been doing this all along. When it "abandons" gamers to create things like Wii Fit, it's not as though the company's developers have suddenly forgotten that they have a long, storied tradition of making videogames. On the contrary, they incorporate that legacy into works that their fans dismiss. I've put in quite a bit of time with Wii Fit this year, and I'm constantly impressed by how much it draws upon 30 years of Nintendo's game development heritage. Wii Fit may not be everyone's idea of a videogame, but it makes use of gaming's vocabulary and the underlying Nintendo philosophy. No one else could have made Wii Fit, because no one else approaches games in quite the same way.
I'm not even talking about all the balance games, which blatantly are videogames (and pretty fun ones, at that). No, I mean that Wii Fit itself is fundamentally structured like a traditional videogame. You have a goal to aim for — 22.0 BMI and perfect left-right body balance — and both positive and negative interactive feedback to chart your progress. You can designate interim goals on the way to that final elusive victory, progressive weight-loss milestones undertaken against a timer, which really isn't so different from trying to complete a level of Mario before time runs out. There's plenty of repetition, but surprising little variances constantly appear within the routine to keep you on your toes. Even the startup theme at the Wii Menu — the six-note motif when you select the Wii Fit disc channel — calls back to Nintendo's classic games. It's the opening bar of the town theme from Zelda II, you see.
I can't really take issue with what Nintendo's doing with things like Wii Fit. Sure, not everything they do these days interests me, but the contention that a game or product doesn't have the right to exist because it doesn't cater to you is the worst kind of egocentrism. It's a mistake I make sometimes, too, though being at E3 reminded me how myopic it is. I may not have much use for the big, massively-hyped games, but they have an audience, and people are still making plenty of things that do interest me. For their part, Nintendo's simply using a finely-honed sense of game design in new ways, and even when their efforts don't pan out, at least they're still putting that experience to use. And sometimes, those new applications do come in handy; Wii Fit has been a big part of my losing 40-plus pounds over the past year and getting back into the physical shape I was in back in college. And through all of this, I haven't made much use of the core software — I got sick of the actual exercises after about a month and decided to use that workout time for walking down the hill to the beach instead — yet I still boot up a few times a week to check my overall progress, which keeps me mindful of how I'm eating and exercising. This was, in fact, Shigeru Miyamoto's stated goal with Wii Fit when I interviewed him last year before the product launched; he didn't presume the game itself would make people healthy, but that it would become a tool for anyone interested in having a healthier lifestyle. And it uses gaming language to do it, with its goals and fanfares and Zelda music and minigames and talking Balance Boards.
I feel so bad when I let the Balance Board down. He only wants what's best for me.
So yeah, maybe I'm just at a different point in my life than most people who follow Nintendo closely — I'm fine with non-game applications and works designed for people who aren't me even though I like the old-fashioned "hardcore" games a lot too — but I looked around the company's E3 booth this year and I was really impressed. Their efforts to bridge the great divide between two different audiences have been hit or miss, but this year it felt like they really had it down. And, you know, they still had Sin and Punishment II and Metroid Other M for the people who cry about abandonment and loneliness on message forums.
Best pacifier ever.

Wild Slots | up to £50 Bonus + 50 Free Spins
It was just nearly a year ago that Wild Slots stepped into the gambling industry and now it has emerged as an entertaining online casino platform powered by the most powerful software providers in the iGaming industry.
The website was established in 2016 by a team of experts who wanted to raise the bars in the gaming industry. With their efforts, Wild Slots has effectively amalgamated innovation, entertainment and safety, thus offering a flawless gaming experience on mobile and desktop platforms.
In time, it has teamed up with Every Matrix Ltd (the owners of Casino luck and Next Casino) to add bolder and better elements to its online platform. The website is licensed by Curacao eGaming and Malta Gaming Authority, which means that citizens of UK and Europe can enjoy its services. There are restrictions for France, Denmark, Israel, Hungary, Romania, Portugal, Ukraine, Spain and US citizens.
The website supports English and notable international currencies including USD, EUR and GBP. Due to ease of accessibility, engaging content and easy payment options, the website holds a positive reputation among players.
Bonus & Free Spins
Players love to get rewarded for their efforts. Probably, that's why the gaming websites announce lucrative discounts to attract more customers to their site. Wild Slots is one such place that offers 50 spins on Wild Wild West to attract your attention. The spins are automatically credited to your account as soon as you register and make a minimum deposit of at least £20.
Apart from the free spins when you deposit money for the first time, you get a whopping 100% up to £50 bonus on your deposit. But there's more to come. The second deposit is matched with 50% up to £50. You'll have 21 days to meet the wagering requirements of 35x before you're eligible to cash out any winnings.
When you indulge in fun games frequently, you can collect player points every time you put wager money on a game.
Terms & Conditions for Using Welcome Bonus
You need to fulfil play-through requirements of individual games to withdraw your winnings. While slot games are subject to wagering requirements of 40x the bonus amount, Poker (both video and table) contribute to 400x the bonus. Roulette, Baccarat and Blackjack contribute 4000x bonus requirement. Besides, these games differ in terms of game weightings. For instance, Hi-Lo games, video poker and table games contribute 10%, classic slots contribute to 20% whereas progressive jackpot games contribute 50%. Different Roulette and Black Jack games contribute 1%.
You can't bet more than 6.5 credits in a single round. You can't play certain games like Devils Delight, Scrooge, Pearls of India, Dead or Alive etc. till the time you have the bonus present in your account.
Games & Software
Wild Slots Casino website is user-friendly, simple and adorned with bright orange, white and bold black colours. It features incredible games developed by QuickSpin, Net Entertainment, Play'n Go, IGT and Microgaming. The website is thoroughly dedicated to slots. There are no video poker or table games – a fact that may turn off poker lovers. But, there's keno, bingo and other specialty games where you can test your luck.
The extensive slot selection consists of progressive games like King Cashalot, Mega Moolah, Hall of Gods and Arabian Nights. There are video versions like Poltava: Flames of War, Book of Dead, Golden Goddess and Medusa II.
You can also find ageless classics like the Secrets of Atlantis, Warlords: Crystals of Power, Hugo, When Pigs Fly and Tiki Wonders. Some of their slots are dedicated to musical legends, TV series and movies. Thief, Motorhead, Gladiator, Guns N' Roses and Thief are some good examples.
Those who wish to indulge in retro action can check out classic 3-reel slots like Mystery Joker, Safari Madness, Pirates Gold, Super Nudge 6000, Captain Cash and Seventh Heaven.
In short, the website is a heaven for slot lovers. Sadly, they don't run live casino, but they may include this feature in the future.
For the convenience of players, the website is made compatible with tablets and smartphones. So, you can play their games anytime, anywhere you want.
Security & Fairness
To ensure high-levels of security, Wild Slots casino is RNG certified. This means that their games are unbiased, fair and governed by random number generators. The website is also secured with Trustwave that protects misuse of sensitive information.
Final Verdict
The best thing about wild slots is that its email support network is quite responsive. Despite lacking live games, it has an awesome mobile casino. Even the welcome bonus seems a lucrative option. But, lack of video pokers and table games may turn you off. Also, the live chat is open from 9am to 11pm (English Time) so you should keep this in mind.

Get that swing flowing with ease and rhythm
Next to balance, the most important element in any golf swing is rhythm. Rhythm is a flow of movement. Flow can be defined as smoothness, continuity, and ease.
Every shot the golfer makes should have smoothness, continuity, and ease.
Continuity will be taken care of if readers have followed the observations in the previous column on the follow-through and finish.
If the finish is truly natural perhaps smoothness will be taken care of too.
The concept of ease is possibly more difficult to establish.
There are so many things against it. The day. Competition. The desire to do very well. The Demon Distance. The state of the world. You name it.
I am doubtful about such counsel as, ''Relax. . . . Forget about everything. . . . Don't try.'' It doesn't seem to help.
A quiet backswing but a full shoulder turn. That's what works.
The feeling, ''This is easy.'' That's what works.
The knowledge that for the shot ahead you only have to swing easily. That's what works.
Enough club so you can swing easily. That's what works.
It is better to use a stronger club than a stronger swing.
Just before writing these lines I played in a match. The weather was wet and windy, the course muddy. I was faced with an uphill third shot to a long green from only about 120 yards. I took a 4-iron. The three other players, from only a few yards closer, took 8-irons. I won the hole with two shots to spare.
Make it easy. Keep a rhythm. Maintain smoothness, continuity, and ease.
