Singapore Press : Car enthusiasts throng ST Classified's Car-nival to look for good bargains on cars and accessories
With one more day left to Car-nival, be sure to swing by for your pick of the latest car models and car accessories under one roof
Singapore, 19 August 2017 – The first day of ST Classified's Car-nival, its first ever car exhibition in town, saw car enthusiasts snap up good bargains. Whether they were looking to upgrade to a new car, pre-owned model or get new accessories for their existing vehicle, there were good deals waiting to be picked up.
With one more day left to the event, car buyers still have time to come down and pick up great deals, be it new or pre-owned vehicles, or looking for new accessories for their current ride.
The very first deal of the event was closed at 11.30am – a Suzuki Every sold at $67,800. The buyer, Mr Lim Kher Wee, came to the event with the intention of getting a family Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) for his wife and initially found the 660cc Suzuki too small.
Mr Alan Goh, 45, the salesperson who sealed the deal said: 'He walked around to compare prices from other companies but eventually found the deal we offered fitted his budget best.'
Organised by ST Classifieds, Car-nival is the one-stop venue for car enthusiasts and newbies alike. Offerings from some 16 car and motoring products exhibitors including Motorway Ssangyong and Vertex Euro Motors, are still available.
Do check out car models such as Honda, Mercedes, Seat, SsangYong and Toyota, as well as commercial vehicles including Nissan, Suzuki, Volkswagen and more.
Car-care and add-on accessories, such as car coating systems, dash cams, interior shampoos and more are also available. Among the throng of eager-eyed buyers and viewers browsing through deals at the booths was Mr David Gay, 59, who saw a print advertisement of the event in the newspaper and decided to make his way down to explore the deals offered.
Mr Gay said: 'I just got a car so I went for the accessories instead. The car polish package is cheaper here.' Mr Gay also walked away with a Canon camera from the sure-win lucky catcher.
Car buyers also stand a chance to win one of three Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 tablets, and all visitors who spend at least $100 get a shot at the sure-win lucky catcher to take home goodies such as cameras, watches and shopping vouchers.
Exhibitor Mr Ng Hoy Keng, Chairman of Leco, said: 'I am an ardent supporter of SPH and I am confident that the attractive advertisement and promotions they put up will draw crowds. As the only parallel importer in the event, I know I have a competitive edge over others and I have the largest crowd.'
Make a date with us and head on down to Car-nival for the biggest bargains on your favourite car brands and accessories. Don't miss out!

With the weather smiling on us, Harrow MS Therapy Centre members and friends turned out in droves to enjoy cream teas and cupcakes at Brook House Care Centre in Wembley, parting with £162 for the privilege.
Our thanks go to Lydia Chase from Brook House for making this possible, as well as organising a raffle on our behalf which raised a further £253, with members winning the bulk of the prizes — a jammy double-whammy for them!
Thanks to the strong support from our members and the wider community, the Centre's funds increased by more than £400.
Fundraising-through-tea can be a very simple-but-effective way of generating much-needed cash for our Centre. See our next story for details of how a member's daughter did exactly that.

June 29, 2011 – It seems like there are "gold and silver dealers" on every corner these days urging everyone to cash in anything they have containing those precious metals. Cash strapped Americans are easily lured in, eager to dispose of what they are led to believe is "junk."
In the first place, nothing containing gold or silver is or ever will be junk. More import to consider, however, is the nature of the melt business.
There's a simple reason the business is booming – gold and silver prices are certain to climb to unimaginable heights as the economy tanks, and swindling a swelling number of desperate and vulnerable people out of their gold and silver at bargain basement prices is a great way to make some very big bucks very quickly. And there is very little control or even oversight to discourage misdealing.
Yet people seem to trust the dealers implicitly, often mailing in their gold valuables and then waiting to be told what they are worth. There is no guarantee of reliable assay.
"Junk silver" in the form of pre-1965 coins is easier to valuate, but there is a better reason to hold onto them as well your gold.
For one thing, there is no fear of depreciation. Wherever the price of gold and silver goes, the metals' worth in terms of what it can buy is virtually constant.
But the real worth of junk gold and silver is as a practical medium of exchange. According to many experts the collapse of the dollar is all but certain. Should that happen, only gold and silver will buy the things you need to survive. But you wouldn't want to hand over a Gold Eagle worth over $1500 in today's currency just to get a few loaves of bread – what would you get in change?
Gold jewelry and other small items would be easier to exchange and would impose much lower risk, and silver coins would be hard to beat for small transactions. US dimes, quarters, and halves minted before 1965 contain silver in direct proportion to their face value ($2.45, $6.13, and $12.26 respectively at last close), making their relative worth universally understood.
You certainly would not want all of your gold and silver to be "junk" – unless you have a huge bank vault to store it all in – but it is extremely prudent to have a sizeable emergency reserve.

Good Coding Rules - was Case statement structure

I created a quick script to set/clear the topmost status of a window. It works like
top <title> /on | /off
I want the title match to be case insensitive and to work on partial strings. For example, if the window of note is titled "APLX for Windows" I want
top apl /on
to work. The AutoIt manual says that for WinTitleMatchMode
Mode -1 to -4
Force lower case match according to other type of match.
so I assumed that by
aut.Opt "WinTitleMatchMode",-1
I would be doing a lower case match on existing windows. As long as I lcase(title) for the comparison it should match on "APLX for Windows" but it does not Is this a bug or am I misreading the docs?

@JLogan3o13 I apologize, I did not think of it that way. I have attached all the code and the Ini File information. Please let me know if I need to add anything else to help understand what is happening. thank you.
Guys, I apologize in advance as I did not search for my answer before posting. I just could not figure out a way to search that made since so I decided to go ahead and post my question.
Getting to it.
Background: this is being used to validate file names before moving to a new location. though i have not included all the code, below is what i am having a problem with.
I have an ini file that i am reading values from. Func ConfigDefineVars() -- I read the value of $ValidationRDA and everything is good then I set
$CaseRDALocationCheck = '$SplitFile[$ValidationRDALocation]' <> $ValidationRDA
the code that will be used in the select case in Func FileSplitCount(). The problem i have is that even though the numbers = each other they are not recognizing as =.
This is what i am getting in my log file i create.
2017-12-04 14:09:53 : RDA was 2403 should have been 2403:
If I move $SplitFile[$ValidationRDALocation] <> $ValidationRDA to the Case line under the function it works correctly.
I think this has to do with my use of ' ' around the '$SplitFile[$ValidationRDALocation]' but i don't know what option i have in Func ConfigDefineVars I am not ready to define $SplitFile. I have tried adding it to my Global Vars at the top of my script but that did not seem to help.
There will be more fail this is just the first one in the select case.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Example of a filename used.
DWRSSD-37087-95-026.%-064.00-Tatum Family %-%-1230 Academy Rd-%-PERM-TRUE-2403.pdf
This file will fail on the 95, it should be 095. The problem i am getting is with the 2403 it fails even though the ini file value ValidationRDA = 2403

I am working on a Video Player Test Script. I am reading a text file into a 3d array to be displayed in a GUI.
Array Content:
[x][1]UsageCount -> Up to a 4 digit number
[x][2]EnableUsageCount (True/False)
In the GUI the user can check the filename box, edit the number of usages and check EnableUsageCount to turn on the UsageCount control using the UsageCount number for the maximum number of plays.
To make this easier to deal with I have removed the EnableUsageCount section, and am just concentrating on getting a method to put the edited (or unchanged) UsageCount in the array. Currently nothing is read into the array, due to my using the wrong method in the Case statement.
Here are code snippets of what I am trying to do:
; Snippets from script ; I read the text file at the bottom and put the .mp4 filenames in $aManifest[x][0] and UsageCount in $aManifest[x][1] ; Then I create a GUI to display the .mp4 filenames with checkboxes and the UsageCount to the right. UsageCount is editable by the user. ; If the filename is checked, I want to read the filename into $aCheckedVideos[x][0] and the updated UsageCount in $aCheckedVideos[x][1] ; The GUICtrlRead($aVideoName[$i]) with Case $GUI_CHECKED & UNCHECKED works for the checkboxes ; This section puts the filenames in the GUI with a checkbox For $i = 0 to $iMMCount Step 1 $sMP4Text = $aManifest[$i][0] $iMP4Length = StringLen($sMP4Text) $aVideoName[$i] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($sMP4Text,$iLeft, $iTop) $iTop += 30 Next ; This section reads numbers from the Manifest array, and I want to be able to change the number and have them saved. ; So the Case $GUI_CHECKED & UNCHECKED won't work here, and I can't figure out what I should be doing here. For $i = 0 to $iMMCount Step 1 $sUsageText = $aManifest[$i][1] $aUsageCount[$i] = GUICtrlCreateInput($sUsageText,$iLeft, $iTop, 50,18, $GUI_DOCKAUTO) GUICtrlSetPos($aUsageCount[$i],200) $iTop += 30 Next While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $idCloseGUI For $i = 0 To $iMMNewCount Step 1 Switch GUICtrlRead($aVideoName[$i]) Case $GUI_CHECKED $aCheckedVideos[$i][0] = $aManifest[$i][0] ; If checked, I put the results into a two D array Case $GUI_UNCHECKED ; where Video Name is $aCheckedVideos[x][0] EndSwitch Switch GUICtrlRead($aUsageCounter[$i]) Case $GUI_CHECKED $aCheckedVideos[$i][1] = $aUsageCount[$i] ;I want to put the text (numbers) in $aCheckedVideos[x][1] Case $GUI_UNCHECKED ;but what is returned is blank, probably due to EndSwitch ; $GUI_CHECKED being the wrong thing.

Hi guys,
Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong with this code?
I'm trying to take user input and then run a function with the same name, but it's not calling the function.
So in the below after pressing Shift+F8 I would enter the text (without quotes) "testFunc".
As you can see I've also tried this with IF statements, I'm new to using Switch/Case.
HotKeySet("+{F8}", RunManually) Func RunManually() ;Use a case statement with 1 hot key and an InputBox to manually run functions $funcName = InputBox("Which Func to Run?", "Enter the name of the function to run") MsgBox(0, "Entered value", $funcName) ;If $funcName = testFunc Then testFunc() ;If $funcName = test2Func Then test2Func() Switch $funcName Case testFunc MsgBox(0, "Calling", "Calling Function") testFunc() MsgBox(0, "Called", "Function call finished") Case test2Func MsgBox(0, "Calling", "Calling Function") test2Func() MsgBox(0, "Called", "Function call finished") EndSwitch EndFunc While 1 ;testFunc() Sleep(1000) WEnd Func testFunc() MsgBox(0, "func running", "Seems to work!") EndFunc Func test2Func() MsgBox(0, "func 2 running", "2 Seems to work!") EndFunc Thanks!

UV-Mapping in 3D-Modeling
Before we go into the details of this article lets have a look at some of the important points about 3D modeling.
3D modeling or 3D designing is a process of creating a computer-based graphic with 3Dimensional surfaces with the help of some special 3 D modeling software. Before we move on to more of its details let's take a quick look at the difference between 2Dimensional design and a 3Dimensional design.
2Dimensional computer graphic is once which is designed using only two axes these are:
- x-axis
- y-axis
The designed graphics are made keeping in mind the x and y-axis only.
- x-axis
- y-axis
- z-axis
Now comes "what is UV?" why do we use the term "UV" in Maya for unwrapping any 3D object created in Maya. The reason behind this is that this process projects a texture map onto a 3Dimentional model created in Maya. Here the letter "U" and "V" denote the axis of the 2Dimentional texture. Since the axis x,y,z is already used to denote the axis of the 3Dimentional model.
There are some different types of UV Mapping in Maya for a different type of objects. In this article, we are going to discuss planar mapping for plane surfaces.
Planar UV Mapping: Planar mapping is done for objects which are a flat surface.
Here we are going to discuss how we can apply the texture using planar mapping with a stepwise process.
- Select the object and apply checker on to it.
- Right-click on the object and select, assign a new material.
- Select a material like a Lambert or Blinn.
- Go to the attribute editor and click the square checked base to apply checker on it.
- Select the checker option from creating Render Node Window.
- You will see the object will be filled by checkered texture but the checker is not perfectly squared and are also blurred.
- To make it look perfect we are going to select the face and apply planar mapping on the object.
- Go to object, right click and select the face option.
- Now click the face to make the changes on.
- Select the object and apply checker on to it.
- Goto creates UV in the polygons section and selects the small square box beside the planar mapping.
- Here in the planar mapping option select Fit Projection to → Best Plane and click Project.
- Small checkers will be seen which are not blurry like the ones earlier but still are not perfect squares.
- Now go to Edit UV → select UV texture editor.
- A UV texture editor window appears from here we can make some changes to get the perfect checker on the plane.
- Now using the scaling tool adjust the UV so that we get the perfect square on the plane selected.
- Now we can see the difference and this checkered texture can be replaced by non-checkered ones or some image texture
- Now repeat the process for the remaining faces until you get the perfect object view.
- Goto creates UV in the polygons section and selects the small square box beside the planar mapping.

David Foster and Wayne Ford are likely victims of the great 2018 recount.
Foster is a 62-year-old Coral Springs stage designer who usually votes near Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, but he was visiting Thailand a month before Election Day. He filled out his ballot and sent it via registered mail October 8. The clerk told him it would arrive in ten to 14 days. But it took more than a month and got sidetracked in an Opa-
Ford mailed his a little more than a week later in the return envelope supplied by the Miami-Dade elections office. It was returned as undeliverable.
Both men have detailed records of their transactions, particularly Foster. They will likely lose their democratic right to vote even if the recount ends up in the U.S. Supreme Court, which happened in 2000 and might happen this year.
Moreover, the recount sank into chaos this past Monday after Broward County (where Foster lives) fell far behind the rest of the state in meeting a Thursday deadline for submitting recounted votes. Multiple lawsuits have been filed by both candidates — Rick Scott and Bill Nelson — in the tight Senate race, and President Donald Trump is demanding an end to the tabulation.
"I am beyond frustrated," says Foster, a registered independent who voted an all-Democratic ticket this time around because of issues with Trump. "I know that it arrived, but it doesn't look like it will count."
The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged. An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 12, 2018
Though Miami-Dade has nearly completed its ballot recount, Broward still has not begun, the Miami Herald reported this morning. A judge Monday threw out Scott's request to impound voting machine
s, while Nelson sued to count domestic mail-in votes.
By state law, votes from overseas can be counted if they arrive within ten days of the election, according to the state's website. "The overseas voter's vote-by-mail ballot must be postmarked or dated by Election Day and received within 10 days of the election in order to be counted, provided the ballot is otherwise proper."
Broward's tardiness and the political winds make it highly unlikely Foster's vote will count. Ford, a 39-year-old from Kendall, who also voted for Nelson, is in worse shape. He's lived in Japan for a few years and has voted in "most of the major elections [and] never had a vote returned." Asked how he feels about losing his chance to cast a ballot even though he did everything correctly, he responds, "Pretty horrible, actually."

Meanwhile, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was out of the state Monday — perhaps campaigning for the U.S. attorney general job, for which she has been named a possible candidate — called for an investigation into voter fraud. (There has been no indication of that outside of claims by Scott and Trump, among others.)
All of this has left a particularly bad taste in Foster's mouth. He was out of the country four years ago too but says he voted by fax, which some say is technically illegal, because he was able to track down "someone in the Broward elections office," he says.
This time around, after filing his ballot, he took photos of himself dancing with marimbas in front of a Thai statue. He plans to head back to Thailand soon.
"Last summer, I decided I couldn't stomach the current presidency," he says. "I love this country, but I am really angry."

An emerging trend in artificial intelligence is to get computers to detect how we are feeling and respond on an emotional level.
Emotional computers might even help us develop more compassion for one another. But the idea of creating robots that can understand, compute and respond to human emotions has been explored in movies for decades. From I, Robot to Ex Machina as well as Morgan.
However, it is a common misconception to accept the challenge to create emotionally intelligent computing systems, but it is too great to be met anytime soon. There are a number of definitions for emotional intelligence, but they all share a common core; the ability to be aware of your own and others' emotions, the ability to manage your own and others' emotions, and the ability to use emotions to get things done, and make better decisions and deal effectively with stress.
On the other hand, artificial intelligence is designing a future where society will have better communication with robots. However, scientists are vividly faced with the problem of translating intrinsic human intuition, and complex attributes of what it means to be human, into computer codes and figures. In reality, computers are already demonstrating they can augment – or even replace – human emotional intelligence.
The human brain is a subject of varied complex emotions with different family backgrounds and different ways of interacting with emotions, it makes life more interesting. All this does impose extreme difficulties in developing the intelligence of technology models that would interact swiftly with humans.
Perhaps, and it may even come as a surprise to some, the lack of emotion in computing systems can place them in a good position to be emotionally intelligent – unlike humans, who are not always particularly good at reading others, and are prone to miss emotional signals or being fooled by lies.
An award-winning designer, artist, and researcher, Raphael Arar, think we can teach a computer to make sense with arts and nostalgia scores.
But there are challenges to face. Think about how you feel when you hear your favourite song for the first time in a long time. Can you describe the full context of how it made you feel? It is obviously hard to describe.
"Part of us feels so simple, but under the surface, there's really a ton of complexity," Arar said at a TED talk. "And translating that complexity into machines is what makes the modern day's moon shots". There are loads of human emotions; qualities which our fingers obviously cannot access.
But how can we make AI that people actually want to interact with it? Arar is taking arts as a way of designing better experiences that can be used to develop AI systems which would have better communications with humans.
"I view art as the gateway, to help us bridge this gap between humans and machines," Arar said. "Through arts, we are tackling some of the hardest questions like: what does it really mean to feel? Or how do we engage and know how to be pleasant with each other? And how does intuition affect the way that we interact?"
AI technology has been used and developed to make sense of some basic human emotions, like fear, sadness and joy. This was done by converting those characteristics into maths. However, the challenge is more focused on the complex emotions that we have a hard time describing to each other, especially nostalgia.
Arar worked with some data scientists to explore the complex human emotions and to establish a model that can convert these feelings into something mathematical. He created a piece of art; an experience which asked people to share a memory and a model he referred to as "nostalgic score".
These stories that were shared were then analysed using a computer for a simpler emotion, considering words that are associated with nostalgia in the story and the results then provide a nostalgia score.
The results were used to build a light-base nostalgic sculpture that serves as the physical embodiment of the person's contribution. "The higher the nostalgia score, the rosier the hue," and the score "describes how the experience made you feel."
By breaking down the steps involved in having a conversation with some AI robots may help us understand how much more needs to be taught in order for AI to interact with people. We should rather teach the AI computer how to make sense of emotions that we have a hard time explaining to each other.
Although it might be creepy to think that in the future we will be monitored by machines that can detect our emotions, computing systems with emotional intelligence are already surpassing human capabilities. Far from being stuck in the realm of science fiction, they could soon be a reality in our homes, cars and even our office space.
Be sure to watch Raphael Arar's TED talk below.

Last week EPA and the Department of Transportation through the National Highways Safety & Traffic Administration (NHTSA) released the final GHG/fuel efficiency regulation for medium- and heavy-duty engines and trucks for the model years 2021-2027, which will apply to semi-trucks, large pickup trucks and vans, buses, tractors and other such vehicles. EPA notes that when fully implemented, the rules mean that 2027 model-year heavy-duty trucks will be 25%t more carbon efficient than those sold in the 2018 model year.
Big pickup trucks and vans will become 2.5% more efficient each year between 2021 and 2027. The rule has support from consumer groups, environmentalists, trucking companies and those companies that rely on trucking, such as Walmart, Pepsi, Waste Management and FedEx. Fuel has long been the largest single cost for trucking fleets in the U.S., making up 40% of the cost of ownership in 2013.
The Phase 2 standards maintain the underlying regulatory structure developed in the Phase 1 program, such as the general categorization of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and the separate engine standards. Under Phase 2, agencies are additionally adopting first-time CO2 and fuel efficiency standards for certain trailers used with heavy-duty combination tractors. Specifically, EPA's CO2 emissions standards and NHTSA's fuel consumption standards are tailored to each of four regulatory categories of heavy-duty vehicles:
ICCT has put together a couple of great charts to show CO2 reductions and fuel consumption for different classes of vehicles for both phase 1 (already implemented) and phase 2 of the regulation.
The program also includes separate standards for the engines that power combination tractors and vocational vehicles. As with the Phase 1 program, the agencies are adopting separate standards and test cycles for tractor engines, vocational diesel engines, and vocational gasoline engines.
For diesel engines, the standards begin in model year 2021 and phase in to model year 2027, with interim standards in model year 2024. The final diesel engine standards will reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption by up to 5% for tractor engines and up to 4% for vocational engines compared to Phase 1.
Heavy-duty trucks are the second largest segment and collectively make up the biggest increase in the US transportation sector in terms of emissions and energy use. These vehicles currently account for about 20% of GHG emissions and oil use in the U.S. transportation sector, but represent about 5% of total highway traffic. Globally, GHG emissions from heavy-duty vehicles are growing rapidly and are expected to surpass emissions from passenger vehicles by 2030.
Notably, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) announced its support of the rule, but noted "[t]o meet our long-term [GHG] goals out to 2050, California will need to continue to make progress, even after the Phase 2 standards are fully implemented in 2027. CARB is looking forward to continued cooperation with the federal agencies and the heavy-duty industry on this long-term effort." Read: Phase 3 is coming in the future.
Meantime, the Department of Energy the same day announced $137 million in investments for two programs to develop next generation technologies that will support industry in going beyond those standards while also accelerating technology advances for passenger cars and light trucks. The funding is subject to the congressional appropriations process, which could get tricky depending on which party holds the majority post the November election.
One initiative, SuperTruck II, will fund four projects to develop and demonstrate cost-effective technologies that more than double the freight efficiency of Class 8 trucks, commonly known as 18-wheelers. Through another initiative, the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Vehicle Technologies Office Program Wide Funding Opportunity Announcement selections, 35 new projects will receive $57 million to develop and deploy a wide array of cutting-edge vehicle technologies, including advanced batteries and electric drive systems, to reduce carbon emissions and petroleum consumption in passenger cars and light trucks.

Filed under: Awards and Recognition
When John Richard arrived at the Adrienne Arsht Center as President and CEO in late 2008, he vowed to raise the organization's prominence as one of the nation's foremost presenters of arts education programs. He envisioned a day when the Center's campus would be surrounded by a sea of yellow school buses. Today, less than two years later, the Center is earning public recognition for its mission-driven commitment to arts education initiatives.
Most recently, Miami Today, a leading local business and civic-oriented newspaper, included the Center and Richard in the education category of its annual 'Best of Miami' edition. The award stems from a nomination submitted by Miami-Dade Superintendent of Schools, Alberto Carvalho.
The nomination honed in on the Center's "Learning through the Arts" program, which exposes students to live theater in conjunction with their in-class curricula. As part of this initiative, this past spring more than 26,000 fifth graders were invited to the Center for free performances over two weeks of Rock Odyssey, an original musical production based on Homer's Odyssey, created especially for elementary school students. A second installment of Rock Odyssey kicks off this fall.
As the Adrienne Arsht Center embarks on its fifth year, Richard and his team are redoubling the organization's focus on arts education – with the goal of further advancing the Center's mission and enriching the lives of students.

Slot Rules – Learn How to Get Started Playing Slots
At an online casino, slot machines are some of the easiest games you can get involved in – that's why they're so popular! Not only do they offer fast gameplay, but in comparison to other casino games such as Blackjack and Poker, they're far less complicated.
That being said, before you get started playing slots, there are a few rules you need to understand in order to play. After all, if you started playing slots by blindly pressing buttons, it may be lead to making unwise bets and losing money, and we definitely don't want that!
On this page, you can learn the basics of how to play a slot machine, including:
- The aim of the game
- A glossary of slot terms
- How to place a wager on a slot machine
- Understanding the differences in gameplay in different slot machines
Slot Machines – The Aim of the Game
Before playing any game, whether that's football or slots, you need to always understand what you need to do in order to win. For example, in Blackjack, you need to collect cards to reach the value of 21 (or to beat the dealer). So, what is it you need to do when playing slots in order to claim the jackpot?
Simply put, the aim of a slot machine game is to land a specific sequence of symbols on one or more of the paylines you've chosen to bet on.
However, it's not quite as easy as that. Not all sequences and symbols in a slot machine are created equal, with some being much harder to achieve, yet more valuable, than others. This is where the fun begins! As slots are essentially a game of chance, you never know what your spin will give you.
A Short Glossary of Slot Machine Terms
Before we dive into learning how to play slot games, there are a few terms you need to be familiar with. Understanding these terms will help you understand slot machine rules and how these types of games work.
In a slot machine, the reels are the columns of the game which rotate when the player presses the 'spin button'. Each reel is filled with symbols and most modern slot machines have 3 or more reels. When the reels stop spinning, the game calculates what the player has won.
Paylines are the lines across the reels which determine whether or not you've achieved a winning spin. The symbols on the reels must fall on a payline to result in a payout. Most video slots have multiple paylines, and these can run horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
A payout is when the slot machine rewards you with cash for a successful spin. A payout can vary depending on where the symbols land, and which symbols are shown on the screen.
Slot Symbols
When we refer to symbols within a slot game, we are talking about the images which appear on the reels. In most online slots, there will be between 3 and 10 different symbols, each with their own payout values.
Pay Table
Within a slot machine, players can view the paytable. The paytable shows you how much a certain symbol will payout for a certain combination, as well as how the paylines run in that particular game.
Usually, the paytable can be found by pressing the Information or Question Mark button.
How to Start Playing: Slots Rules
If you thought that getting started playing slot machines was as easy as powering up a game you like the look of, then we're here to tell you to think again.
Although you can proceed in this manner, in order to be a smart slot player, there are a few things you need to consider when choosing a slot game:
- How much does the slot machine cost to play? (What is the minimum/maximum bet amount)
- How many reels does the slot have?
- How many paylines does the slot have?
- What is the maximum win (jackpot) of the slot?
How to Place a Bet
Once you've selected a slot to play, the next step is to place a bet. Most online slots will have a default betting amount, meaning you can press spin immediately, yet smart slot players will know the importance of modifying the bet amount to suit their budget. Those are the basic slots rules on placing a bet.
On launching a slot machine game, you will find the betting controls below or next to the reels. Here you can change the amount you want to bet. Each slot machine will have a minimum and a maximum bet amount.
A slot machine may also refer to the number of coins you're betting – each coin being worth a specific value. So for instance, you may bet 10 coins, all with a value of 10p each.
How to Select Your Paylines
As we mentioned earlier, every slot has a number of paylines which are how the slot determines whether your spin is a win or a loss. Before you start playing any slot machine game, you should familiarize yourself with the slots rules, particularly with the number of paylines and their formation.
In some slot machines, paylines are adjustable. This means that you can choose to play with only certain paylines active. So, for example, you may choose to play with only one active payline or with all paylines active. The number of active paylines will both affect your wager size and your chances of winning
If the slot machine allows the number of active paylines to be adjusted, you can find these controls below or next to the reels, usually near to your wager controls.
Ok, Now Press Spin!
Once you've adjusted the slot controls to suit you, all that's left to do is to hit the spin button! This activates the game's random number generator and so, when the reels stop spinning, the game will calculate your winnings based on which symbols stopped where.
No matter what slot machine you're playing, the basic slots rules remain the same. This means that whilst some slots may offer elaborate bonus rounds, it's still very important to understand the paylines and betting options before beginning to play.

- 3 The Ups and Downs of a Filtered Water Bottle
- 4 Complete Buying Guide on Filtered Water Bottles
- 5 Traveling Essentials – The Filtered Water Bottle
- 6 Best Filtered Water Bottles Comparison Chart
- 7 Frequently Asked Questions
- 8 The Bottom Line
Obviously, water is the essence of life – that's why we got to have it with us almost everywhere we go, most commonly in the form of bottled water. We usually choose bottled water because we think it's safer than tap water – but did you know that around 24% of the bottled water we buy is actually filtered tap water?
Moreover, according to a study, around 22% of the water sold by various bottled water brands contains free radicals that are above the health limits regulated by the state – this means an increased chance of contact with contaminants, such as E.coli.
If the previous statements didn't make you consider buying the best filtered water bottle out there, then we inform you that at least 400 thousand barrels of oil are used to manufacture plastic bottles in a single year – of which only 30% are recycled.
Therefore, if you want to help decrease the Earth's pollution level and ensure your good health as well, then you might want to take a look at the following filtered water bottle reviews – choose one of them and make it your only companion if you want both you and our planet to be healthy!

If you want to be one with nature, then this filtered water bottle from WaterWell can surely make your dreams come true. The product is equipped with a filter that allows you to fill up the bottle from puddles, lakes, rivers, and taps and then simply drink the clean, filtered water.
Naturally, the filter does its magic as it removes 99.9% of any water-related parasites and bacteria – says goodbye to dysentery, diarrhea, and Giardia when you are traveling to unknown lands. You won't have to be afraid of local fountains and water streams anymore – and, most importantly, you won't have to stock up on bottled water.
The filter inside the bottle can filter up to 1000 liters of water in its lifetime – that's around 2000 water bottles made of disposable plastic. Moreover, using this filtered water bottle is very easy as well – just fill, flip, bite, and sip.
The Magic Behind Your Filtered Water
Of course, after reading so much about filtered water bottles, you wonder how they actually work. Well, we are here to provide you with that kind of information and so much more. Stick with us and, in the following paragraphs, you'll find everything about the magic that happens behind every bottle that can filter your water.
The Heart of the Filtered Water Bottle – The Filtration System
When it comes to the filtration system of a filtered bottle, you have systems that clean your water as you drink it or as you fill-up the bottle. However, there are three characteristics – that also count as steps in the filtration process – which apply to both mentioned types.
- Activate Carbon
Most filtered water bottles use a carbon filter; this uses activated carbon, known as activated charcoal, in order to remove any impurities from your water. You can check if your bottle has a carbon filter by looking at its bottom for black specks.
When it comes to water filters in general, they must be changed frequently, even if the black specks can still be seen. Proper filtration is ensured through a process called oxygenation of the activated carbon. Basically, it is modified and degraded inside a controlled furnace in order to become highly porous.
After the mentioned process, the activated carbon has an increased ratio of total surface area per unit of volume – therefore, it makes it easier for the next part of the filtration process to take place.
- Adsorption
This is the most important process that takes place inside a filtered water bottle and basically encompasses everything related to it – adsorption is in charge of atoms', ions', and molecules' attachment to a certain surface.
Because the activated carbon now has an increased number of binding sites, it is much easier for it to remove any harmful elements that can be found inside water by simply binding to them.
The carbon activated filtration system is very effective as ionized carbon has one of the highest numbers of binding sites across all chemical elements – namely, four. Therefore, water filtration is an easy task for such a system.
- Filtration
So, water filtration takes place when the activated carbon that the filter is made of absorbs everything that shouldn't be in your water – therefore, it's only natural that it won't have any more space to store bacteria and viruses after a certain number of uses.
That's why it is extremely important to replace the filter inside your filtered water bottle when it is recommended by its manufacturer – by doing this, you ensure the proper filtration of your water, no matter the location you take it from.
The Ups and Downs of a Filtered Water Bottle
Now that we've got the magic behind a filtered water bottle out of the way, we should talk about the pros and cons of such products. Naturally, everything comes with its ups and downs – however, the downs apply mostly depending on your preferences and on the desired convenience of the product.
Of course, it is still recommended to have a filtered water bottle lying around and use it daily – remember, not only does it make your water cleaner and healthier, but it also reduces the use of plastic bottles.
The Advantages of a Filtered Water Bottle
- Pricing – this advantage is pretty much straightforward; you won't have to rely on bottled water anymore – when going to the gym or outdoors, for example. A small investment in a filtered water bottle will let you drink tap water and save some money as you won't need water bottles again.
- Environment – as mentioned a lot of times so far, the environment is the thing that benefits the most if you use a filtered water bottle. Instead of stocking up weekly on bottled water and then throwing away the plastic bottles, you have to use only one single bottle and enjoy clean water.
- Convenience – if you are traveling and you're thirsty, but you can't find any store to buy water from, then you're pretty much left parched until you come across drinkable water. However, if you have a filtered water bottle, then you can trust almost any source of water you can find – streams, lakes, rivers, and such. Basically, you'll always have a water bottle with you, no matter where you go.
- An alternative to Classic Filtering Methods – a filtered water bottle renders useless things like disinfection tablets, ultraviolet light, hard pump filters, and boiling. All these methods take up a lot of time and are not as reliable as a filter. For example, if you run out of tablets, you might have a hard time finding some again. Also, ultraviolet lights need batteries, pump filters are bulky, and boiling just can't be done anywhere.
The Disadvantages of a Filtered Water Bottle
- Straws – you have to drink through a straw, mainly because it is attached to the filter and not to the whole container of the bottle. Using a straw can make drinking a bit slower – if you are really thirsty and need big gulps, you won't probably enjoy some products out there.
- Material – most of the entries on our list were made of BPA-free plastic; however, there are filtered water bottles that are made of stainless steel, meaning that they are a bit heavy. If you choose one made of heavier material, make sure that it won't be a burden to you.
- Small Container – naturally, a filtered water bottle won't come with a large container; they can usually hold around 20 ounces of water. When it comes to longer hikes, you may not be satisfied with this amount of water and might resort to a couple of water bottles instead.
- Purity – in terms of purity, the water provided by these items is as pure or even purer than the one found in bottled water; however, it is not as pure when compared to reverse osmosis water.
As you have noticed, the disadvantages depend on your preferences – it's true that, when it comes to purity, it may not be the purest water out there, but a filtered water bottle helps you get tap water to the same level as bottled water and maybe even higher.
Complete Buying Guide on Filtered Water Bottles
You might not be entirely satisfied with our recommendations – or you may not find the one you like available on stock. So, we have decided to come up with a filtered water bottle buying guide.
Naturally, there are some things you must pay attention to when buying such a product, especially if you plan on traveling a lot and want to make sure that you can rely on any water source that you may find outdoors.
Things You Should Consider When Buying a Filtered Water Bottle
- What Do You Want It to Filter?
When it comes to the filters that a filtered water bottle is equipped with, they can remove/filter up to three harmful things – chemical compounds, parasites and bacteria, and viruses.
Chemical compounds are both organic and inorganic – arsenic, chlorine, copper, fluoride. These can reach water via natural or artificial means. For example, copper may find its way into your tap water through plumbing or such.
Parasites, bacteria, and viruses are usually found in any type of water we drink – from tap water to bottled water and so on. The most dangerous ones can be found in various water sources such as streams and rivers.
That's why, before buying a filtered water bottle, you must know what you are going to use it for – if it's only for tap water, then a filter that deals with chemical compounds might be just enough.
However, if you plan on taking your bottle around the world, when hiking and traveling, then you should choose a bottle equipped with a filter that can deal with each of the harmful things mentioned above.
- Type of Water Filter
As previously mentioned, most filtered water bottles come equipped with a carbon activated filter – however, there are plenty of them that have a UV filter instead. Not only that the latter is more expensive, but it also needs to be powered by batteries.
When compared to a carbon activated filter, a UV filter is not able to remove any chemical compounds that can be found in the water. On the other hand, they are much better when it comes to eliminating viruses and sterilizing water.
These two types of filters are also combined in some filtered water bottles – this offers you full protection in terms of chemical compounds, parasites, bacteria, and viruses. Check out the easy-to-use water testing kits for home use.
- Quality of the Material
The material the bottle is made of should be of high-quality, such as the BPA-free plastic most entries on our list were made of. You must be sure that the bottle won't break or bend after a couple of uses.
Moreover, make sure that the product comes with a warranty so that you can replace missing or broken parts easily.
Traveling Essentials – The Filtered Water Bottle
Why should you carry a water filter when you travel? Well, the answer is simple – you can never know if the places you may find yourself in have clean water or a store from where you can buy bottled water.
Moreover, if you plan on traveling into the wilderness, you clearly need water with you – if you are traveling lightweight, then you won't need a bunch of water bottles inside your backpack.
If you have a filtered water bottle with you that's equipped with the right filter, then you can rely on each water source you come across in order to get clean, fresh, and safe to drink water.
There are many bacteria and viruses in rivers, streams, lakes, etc., and these can easily send you to the hospital right away. Therefore, it is recommended that you have a filtered water bottle with you.

You Should Consider This New Basketball Defensive System
B-ball mentors:
Things really turned out thusly by incredibly good fortunes, however our well ordered framework is precisely the same whether you are a youth b-ball coach with 6 year olds, or an advanced b-ball coach with school players.
The framework will work for ALL age levels.
The ONLY contrast will be the rate at which you progress through each progression.
You will begin with Step #1 and progress through each progression simply like every other person. However youth mentors will travel through each progression slower than further developed mentors.
For instance, an accomplished secondary school group may overcome the initial 7 stages in several days. Yet, an adolescent mentor may take two years to traverse each of the 7 stages.
When instructing experienced players, we generally begin toward the starting since it's an incredible survey for your players and mentors. In the off-season, players overlook stuff. That is exactly how it is. It's simply human instinct. They're definitely going to overlook stuff and they will grow unfortunate propensities over the off-season.
Players will likewise get new things consistently that they may have missed the season previously. In the end, your players will wind up protective specialists themselves and they'll have the capacity to educate these same things to any other person. When you get to that point, that is the point at which you realize that you've completed a great job.
Primary concern, we have endeavored to structure things in a consistent well ordered process that enables you to actualize your resistance, regardless of what age level.
Ball players:
This item was produced for coaches. Will this item still help a secondary school or school player? Truly.
In any case, I would NOT spend your well deserved cash unless you're a secondary school or school player, and you're willing to set aside the opportunity to think about the book and take in a portion of the ideas.
The more you comprehend guard, the more you can inspire your mentor with your execution on the court. Yet, we need to caution you. It takes the correct kind of player with the correct attitude to profit by this item. You have to think about your mentor. Maybe they have an alternate guarded framework and reasoning? You can't go out there and utilize the correct group ideas we educate…
As a player, you'll have to find some hidden meaning to make sense of what applies to you and what does not make a difference to you.
In all trustworthiness, we're torn about what to prescribe to players. We do figure some secondary school and school players will profit by this item immensely. What's more, different players are NOT prepared for this. At last, it's your call.
Create Your Practice Plans The Right Way
Something else an ace practice plan does is help you to make rehearse plans. By taking a gander at your lord plan you can decide how stick pressed your practices may be. Showing days are dependably slower and less unique.
I trust that all training designs ought to contain the accompanying regions:
- Warm-up
- Expertise improvement
- Offense
- Guard
- Scrimmage
Strikingly left out is a molding session. I put stock in molding amid the group of training. I trust that once you get between the lines and take out the balls, you ought to invest all your energy showing signs of improvement. I design my training to incorporate b-ball exercises that will condition in the meantime. On the off chance that that does not prepare the players, dashes, suicides, and so on won't either.
Efficient practice tips
The more multipurpose exercises you do, the more powerful your opportunity will be utilized. I don't have confidence in extending. As I said beforehand, once you are between the lines, it ought to be ALL ball!
I use ballhandling drills for extending and warm-up. Shooting and screening drills are finished amid expertise advancement. The hostile and cautious sessions can be for educating, playing, or both. I will utilize either breakdown penetrates or play in general.
I truly spare a considerable measure of time and make a great deal of progress by running the hostile and protective sessions in the meantime (offense versus resistance) subordinate upon what we are endeavoring to achieve that day. One mentor watches offense and the other mentor watches resistance. On the off chance that we work 5 on 5 I would utilize that as a scrimmage session too. I generally spare my 5 on 5 full court scrimmages to take a shot at diversion circumstances.
The most effective method to structure practice and keep players consideration
Beside warm-up, it doesn't make a difference in what arrange you get things done, as long as you PRESENT IT PROPERLY. That is the key!
Generally, scrimmage periods come last. There is nothing to state, you can't run it first and afterward chip away at what you feel your qualities and shortcomings were for whatever is left of training. I generally got a kick out of the chance to do shooting drills between distinctive areas of training. It battles dullness.
In any case, the things you feel are most critical ought to be displayed FIRST. Display in the "Laws of Learning" is the "Law of Primacy." The law of power says, "whatever is found out first is found out best." You ought not conceal your accentuation from your group. Whatever is imperative to you ought to be front and center and your group will expect your qualities.
I trust the single greatest foe of a decent practice is ability to focus. With every one of the things that go ahead by and by and toss in the part of weariness, ability to focus gets short and hard to keep up. Consequently, I think it is imperative to keep your sessions short, 5 minutes for singular work and 10 minutes for collaboration. On the off chance that you don't achieve what you need to in the session, go to something different and afterward return to it.
I likewise trust that practices should end in a movement that is helpful, testing, group situated and enables your group to leave the floor with a feeling of achievement. I have never been a devotee of molding toward the finish of training. An aspect of your responsibilities as a mentor is to make an environment where your players need to come to rehearse. What they do last is the thing that they will recollect most amongst hones and will shape their state of mind for tomorrows rehearse.
Test hone design
In the wake of reviewing my training design, one of my chiefs had the activity of putting it on a list card so I could keep it in my pocket.
Getting Your Players Off To A Good Start and Excited For The New Season
Getting your players off to a fair start and invigorated for the season starts with your aura as a tutor. Players look like lie markers, they can tell when you are not confessing all. If you are not invigorated, if you are not reckoning the season, they will know. You should set yourself up in any case, and a short time later set up your gathering.
Talk with your players. Make an effort not to keep special experiences from them. Get them the redirection design early; let them see what they are extremely following. Circumstantially, I have reliably been an aficionado to sharing the step by step sharpen outline with my gathering. I have found that learning is locks in. If you empower your gathering, they will tail all of you over the place.
Verify that they know the explanation behind each drag and how it will empower them to be better players. If players think you are just in the rec focus whipping them they won't respond. Endeavor to portray their parts early and let them form into them. Be inclusionary, contribute vitality with your lesser players. That will push them to be better players and they will help you in the midst of the extreme days of the season.
Research and use assemble building works out. This will be differing with each gathering since it will be specific to the personality of each gathering. Contribute vitality with your players off the court and that will open the best approach to them contributing time with each other.
Find from your players what their wants are. Keep in mind that once the season starts, they have to satisfy your wants. This will help oversee you in the midst of the season.
You may guarantee the gathering in the midst of the season. Give players obligation regarding bunch in the preseason. Allow them to run works out; see what kind of organization abandons it. Allow them issue to settle and watch how high they set the bar. You can basically change it.
Specifically, the preseason is the time you set the tone for your year. It might be the primary time players feel great pushing toward you. They are under no weight, their certainty does not rise and fall with wins and disasters. Use the time cleverly.
