Play Symmetry online: Check out our slot review below
Symmetry Introduction
Symmetry – the perfect balance in size, proportion and arrangement, the thing which most of us look for if we are precise and constantly looking for perfection. Symmetry is when an object doesn't change because of transformations such as rotation, scaling or reflection. The concept of symmetry can be understood in mathematics and can be seen in matters such as time, space, and geometry, in science and nature, and also in more abstract forms such as language and music – even knowledge, at a stretch.
So what does it have to do with online slots? Videoslots.com brings you Symmetry, a five-reel video slot produced by Realistic Games which awards you with rewards based on whether symbols land in a symmetrical order.
Symmetry Game Features
With its 10 fixed paylines, Symmetry can be played with a minimum bet of € 0.1 and a maximum bet of € 100. The novelty of Symmetry is that winning paylines are formed by symbols landing next to each other from left to right and right to left, but not necessarily having to be on reels 1 and 5 – in fact, winning symbols landing on reels 2, 3 and 4 also count as winning paylines.
Beside this very symmetrical way of awarding wins, this video slot also offers a number of fascinating bonus features which will see you land some serious rewards in your account balance.
Symmetry Free Spins and Bonuses
There are no Free Spins in the classic sense of the word, but Symmetry compensates by offering two bonuses based on its own unique concept.
The Bonus Round is achievable when you land three of a kind out of five reels; in the bonus round, the columns will be highlighted one at a turn, from left to right, until you hit the spin button. The highlighted column will be selected and its symmetrical symbols will become sticky symbols on the reel. The same will happen to other symbols that have landed on other reels, while the reels without the selected symbols will re-spin to land with 1, 2 or 3 instances of the same symbol. The resulting combinations will leave you lapping up winning lines.
On the other hand, the Symmetry Bonus is awarded when a Bonus Round is triggered with a symmetrical pattern landing on the reels. This pattern can be created when reels 1 and 5 are symmetrical, with reels 2 and 4 also matching one another. If you land this combination, you're in for a mega win: the reels will be filled with one selected symbol, and this will send coins flying into your account balance.
Symmetry Payouts
There are eight symbols in Symmetry, and if we want to be finicky we can point out that the symmetrical symbols are those that pay out less. When wagering the maximum amount of € 100, the purple and blue diamonds pay out a maximum of € 250, while the red and silver diamond offer payouts of € 500 each for five of a kind.
The other symbols are the money stack, which offers a maximum of € 1,000 for five hits on a winning payline – same as the gold ingots – while the Seven symbol awards a € 1,500 maximum payout. Finally, the big symbol is the Jackpot symbol which awards a massive € 2,500 winning payout if you land five of it on a winning payline.
Symmetry Graphics and Sound
Symmetry comes packaged against a background of what looks like a Mayan ancient tapestry, with green and orange tiles behind the unframed reels. There is very little clutter on the game interface since you can see your bet amount and balance at the very bottom, and the amount of your last winning line right after spinning. The controls are set through the menu icon at the bottom right of the page, from where you can select the bet amount and the number of autoplay spins or view the game rules, paytable and other important information.
Symmetry Conclusion
Symmetry cleverly disguises itself as an innocent little online slot which can nonetheless offer mega wins. Its low wagering requirements make it an ideal game for both high rollers and beginners, and the use of symmetry as a game concept makes this video slot one of the most interesting on our online casino. Get spinning with Symmetry from Realistic Games!

New house or and old house?
When you embark on your venture to buy a home one of the most common decisions to make is whether to buy brand new or purchase an exisiting home. Each choice has its advantages and there is no single answer that works for everyone.
Here are some of the things that you may wish to consider as you decide which route to take:
Pros for older houses:
1. Many people are drawn to developed neighbourhoods for the sense of comminity already established.
2. Many people enjoy home improvement so an existing property may have small projects waiting to be done.
3. Existing homes are often found in older, more convenient areas rather than out of town. In many cases, an older home offers the opportunity to expand and build a unique property.
Pros for new houses:
1. Everything is brand new and you don't have to do a thing; hence the phrase "turn-key".
2. Developers are currently offering a range of incentives to attract buyers. So as well as your new home, you may negotiate new carpets, blinds, turfed lawns and other sundries.
3. The biggest one of all is that developers are currently offering a range of part-exchange deals that will take all the hassle and aggravation away from you.
To decide what really is best for you and how to approach developers, contact your local, professional, independent estate agent.

Is your overall health connected to your dental hygiene?
As surprising as it seems, many people neglect their oral hygiene, sometimes unknowingly.
In recent years, the importance of floss, mouth wash and even just regular brushing has been pushed by the dental industry, more than ever before.
And the reason why is quite surprising.
Turns out, your oral hygiene directly affects your overall health and well-being. It especially affects your heart! Bacteria in the bloodstream can travel to the heart and lead to a heart attack. Endocarditis – Bacteria may find its way to the inner linings of the heart and valves which in turn, create growth pockets of bacteria. These pockets cause inflammation and infection of the inner linings of the heart.
Your oral hygiene is also linked to diabetes and safer pregnancy, and it has a lot to do with the fact that your gob is filled with bacteria.
Oral hygiene is so important, in fact, that the US went as far as to call the mouth a "mirror" of health and disease in the body in 2000.
But isn't the bacteria in my mouth harmless?
Good bacteria are needed to sustain homeostasis; the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes.
But, no, not all of it is good though. Some of the bacteria actually causes some really nasty diseases.
And as your mouth is the opening with which things can enter the rest of your body, poor oral hygiene means you could be sending germs to who knows which part of your fragile system!
Okay, so on the surface, we all know that the germs in our mouths cause oral complications such as gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath.
According to the Colgate Professional, "Researchers are also discovering new reasons to brush and floss. A healthy mouth may help you ward off medical disorders. The flip side? An unhealthy mouth, especially if you have gum disease, may increase your risk of serious health problems such as heart attack, stroke, poorly controlled diabetes and preterm labor".
Research suggests that severe gum disease could increase the risk of preterm delivery and giving birth to a low birth-weight baby.
Oral bacteria release toxins, which reach the placenta through the mother's bloodstream.
These toxins are believed to interfere with the growth and development of the fetus. While the oral infection causes the mother to produce labor-triggering. This could occur before the pregnancy has reached its full term, potentially putting both mother and child at risk.
As for the risk of diabetes increasing due to an unhygienic mouth, an infection may cause insulin resistance, which disrupts blood sugar control.
Gingivitis could cause blood clots, and even clog arteries.
So how do you ensure that your mouth is clean and healthy, and in turn, not causing you any external dangers? The best way to stay healthy is brush, floss, and get regular checkups.
Most dental plans in South Africa cover day to day dentistry needs, including teeth cleaning, and screenings for nasty cavities.
Dental cover in South Africa has come a long way, and Affinity Dental is one of the fastest growing dental insurance providers in South Africa.
Affinity Dental's cover options allow you to choose a plan that best suits your needs, starting from as little as R175 per month.
So spend a little extra time on cleaning your teeth, gums and tongue. Most dentists recommend that you brush twice a day, once in the morning, and just before bed.

"I need money in less than 24 hours, but it's impossible that I can!"
Probably that was what went through your mind when facing an emergency situation that caught you totally unprepared. Obviously, to deal with it, just getting the money.
But before taking the wrong steps, the good news is that it is possible to get money in less than 24 hours.
Technology will be your main ally in this quest. As? Continue and reading and get out of the grip.
I need money in 24 hours, how can I?
With the financial market offering new technological possibilities, you do not have to be in despair! Online personal loan is an excellent alternative to getting credit in just one day.
By being online, from the request to the probable approval, the process becomes less bureaucratic than asking for a loan at a bank, which makes online personal loan the ideal solution for you.
Want to know what are the steps to get an online loan? Let's explain.
Taking as an example the Financial Group , access the automatic calculator to make a simulation of the amount that you want.
The result will tell you what the value of your parcels will be and how much time you will have to pay them.
Consider if the proposal is undeniable, and if so, confirm the request by entering your personal information: name, CPF, address, contact and bank account.
Do not forget that it is indispensable to use true information .
- Do I need to submit bank details when applying for a loan?
If you have questions about the security and transparency of the service provided, be sure to research more about the company.
Here we have a special article thinking about the safety of our customers.
When the credit analysis step is completed, within a few minutes you will receive an email informing you if your request was accepted or not.
If so, you will finally receive the money in your account within 24 hours (according to banking hours).
Why is it so fast? It's safe?
We imagine that of course you must have asked yourself this. And yes, it is safe.
Your bank details are required for the company to see what your account status is, but it is unable to perform transactions.
The status is nothing more than your credit score, punctuation that shows what your relationship with money is, whether you are good payer or not.
This score is linked to the CPF of every citizen, and it can vary, increasing as the consumer pays their bills on time, and decreasing otherwise.
That way, the company will know if they should trust you, and if all else says yes, the money will fall into your account very quickly!
Here at the Financial Group blog we have some articles on how to apply for a personal loan online safely, take a look and avoid falling into scams!

Why is it sometimes difficult to see the financial impact of successful continuous improvement efforts? If actions are inadequate to deliver results or if they are not sustain, it is not hard to see why. What if we can visit the process and see that the process is 30% more productive as result of kaizen activity, but the financial controller cannot see it? Below are five common mistakes that prevent us from seeing the financial impact of Lean efforts.
Mistake #1: Not agreeing upfront on how to measure success
The starting point is to involve stakeholders and to agree upfront on how to measure success. The definition of success may not always be financial, but sooner or later it needs to be so. Sometimes there is a direct financial impact, other times it is an indirect benefit that requires further action to realize savings. All continuous improvement activity should be measurable in one or more of the macro categories of People, Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cash and Cost. Once the main problems areas have been agreed and defined in terms of KPIs as the company measures them, perform Lean diagnostic activity. Collect data, make analysis, calculate estimated savings. If a consultant or CI specialist does not know how to do these things, stop and get the education first. It is necessary to know where the financial controller or equivalent person will look for the results, and how that translates to Key Performance Indicators at the gemba level. It helps to have P&L management experience, or at least basic familiarity with how to read balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements.
Some improvements fail to hit the bottom line because the gains are local, isolated and do not contribute to better overall flow. The countermeasure is to design and execute activities that will result in changes across a value stream or at least a defined segment of a demand-supply process chain. This is where the CI specialist or consultant needs to understand how each of the Lean tools affects a specific KPI, both directly and indirectly. Since the aim of CI is to build or improve a system, these relationships are rarely simple, direct or one-to-one. A tree diagram is useful for mapping which CI efforts affect which KPIs and how these build up to a measurable financial impact. For example, 5S itself rarely delivers a direct financial impact. It may have indirect benefits on quality, safety, productivity, etc. However, 5S will enable SMED, which will enable reducing lot sizes, which will enable kanban, which will enable shorter lead-times, which enables better inventory turns and on-time delivery, which enable cash flow and reduced expedite costs.
Mistake #3: Declaring victory too soon
An improvement may fail to show financial impact because the new process is not yet stable. Equipment may not perform in continued operation as it did during the improvement and experimentation phase. Incoming materials quantity and quality may fluctuate. Methods may need updating as rarely seen configurations or special orders are run in the new process. Productivity and quality may lag as people working in the process experience learning curves. There are many potential change points to be aware of, track and monitor their effect on seeing financial results.
Mistake #4: Not making changes to supporting systems
Lean activity on the shop floor may change the physical reality of that process. However, there are SOPs, data, protocols, documentation and various other supporting elements. These affect how the work is done in a system. Even if the factory is capable of small lot production, if the lead-time offsets and lot sizes are not changed in the ERP system, or if kanban cards are not updated, orders will be executed according to the old reality of the process. Excess stock may need to be moved away from the process so that there is no temptation to run larger lots. Engineering drawings may need changing. The Bill of Materials may need updating. The cost basis may need to be updated. These should not be surprises, but identified, addressed and agreed upfront.
Mistake #5: Assuming that physical results will be visible as financial results
Sometimes the project leader is happy, the people in the area are happy, the plant manager is happy, but the finance person is not happy. She still can't see the results. This should not happen if that person has been involved throughout the process in defining success, understanding cause-and-effect of various CI tools on KPIs, identifying potential system change requirements, monitoring new process startup fluctuation and so forth. Things will change, and finance people may need clues on where and what to look for to seeing the impact. There are other factors to be aware of such as reporting error, reporting delays, variability or fluctuation, averaging or normalization of data. For companies just getting started in Lean it is not uncommon that there will be some communication gaps, or unexpected adjustments made from reality on the shop floor to the manufacturing execution system to the financial reporting. Some plant leaders may hedge in reporting the new cost basis because they don't fully trust the new process. They want additional buffer or slack, so that they are not on the hook to run at a lower cost when the process begins to backslide.
No doubt there are more reasons why we sometimes can't see the financial impact of continuous improvement. Being aware of these failure modes and discuss them upfront gives us a better chance at showing that kaizen pays off.

Two important things to know about empowering your team:
- We measure empowerment by how willing people are to offer us their maximum discretionary effort.
- We know that people feel empowered when they are motivated to give their all.
Who doesn't want to lead a workplace environment like that?
So, how do you – in real life and in real time – empower your team?
We offer you the checklist below as a way of measuring your progress as an empowering leader. Think of it as a punchlist for your project of empowering your team. Or, even better, think of the metaphor we often use – of a team climbing up a high mountain together!
Provide Clear Direction
An empowering leader defines the task for the team with crystal clarity. A common misconception about delegation (a component of empowerment) is that it is described by this attitude: "Do your own thing as long as you are within the basic parameters and standards of the organization". That's mostly being lazy and settling for less than full alignment.
Empowering direction-giving sounds more like this: "See that mountain? We're going to climb it together, and here's how".
Provide Needed Resources
Nothing is more dis-empowering to a team than not having the tools they need to complete the task they have been assigned. As an empowering leader you make it a priority to give your people the tools and resources they need to carry out their assignments with excellence and passion.
It sounds like this: "Here is the equipment we need to climb this mountain together. This is how you use it. Trust me, I've tested it and everything is safe, secure, high quality, and in adequate supply. Let's get started!"
Provide Coaching, Support, and Feedback
Along the way, the empowering leader is providing constant, specific coaching ("Here's our strategy for taking the mountain", support ("You're doing great – here's what I can give you for your next steps") and feedback ("OK, let's set up camp for the night, reflect on what we learned today and focus on how we can get even better tomorrow")
As you get ready to climb your next mountain as a team, review this list together. Does your team have the direction, resources, feedback, support, and coaching it needs? Does each team member know that they are needed and valued and that their very best efforts will rejuvenate them and help the team win?

When I was a girl, one of my favorite Christmas songs was "Silver Bells". Now I'm not exactly sure why, but it just seemed to usher in the Christmas season for me.
Last year I put together these lyrics to Silver Bells with the intention of using the lettering to create a painted Christmas sign - but the sign never got finished, and I lost my motivation. So this year, I changed up the file a bit and made printables instead! I think they look pretty cute with my poinsettia flowers that Derek got me a few years ago, my little snowmen figurines that were a gift from my sister, and some Walmart sparkly ornaments stringed up on my wall.
Lately I've been working on getting a blog newsletter going - my plan is to send out a newsletter once a month or so, and I'll include personal updates and pictures, links to some of my more popular posts that month, links to other articles that I've liked, and the occasional freebie. I am excited about this new project!
And you are in luck, because if you sign up for my newsletter before the end of December, I'll send give you this set of printables! Consider it a thank-you-for-reading-and-signing-up-and-merry-Christmas gift. You can sign up below, and then keep an eye out for the printables in your inbox! You can either sign up for the monthly version, or you can sign up to get a weekly roundup of posts from the blog instead.
Speaking of personal updates, I think I might have some good news on the job front for Derek - I don't want to say too much yet just in case it doesn't work out, but things are looking promising - keep us in your prayers, and I'll post an update (if there is anything to tell) next week!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Upon the dispersion of the violent crowd, the University suspended Hunter and Holmes "for their own safety," and they were sent back to their parents' homes in Atlanta. Two days later, the same Fifth Circuit judge who had ruled the University must allow the students to register for classes also ruled that the students must be reinstated and allowed to attend classes unharmed. They were back in school by Monday the 16th, and by the end of the week, no longer required their plain-clothed security escorts.
Both Hunter and Holmes had transferred from other schools, and graduated in June, 1963. Hunter took a job with the New York Times, later reporting for PBS's MacNeill-Leherer Report and CNN. She is currently a foreign correspondent for National Public Radio, based in South Africa. Holmes became the first black student to attend and graduate from Emory Medical School, later serving on the faculty and becoming associate dean of the medical school. He also served as the chief of orthopedics at Atlanta's Veterans Administration hospital and medical director of Grady Hospital. He died following quadruple bypass surgery in 1995, at the age of 54.
In 2001, as part of the commemoration of the 40th anniversary of UGA's desegregation, the Academic building was renamed the Holmes-Hunter Academic building.

:: Cadia Awards Separation Process Equipment Order to Eriez Flotation Division
Eriez® Flotation Division (EFD) and Eriez-Australia have been selected to supply Newcrest Mining's Cadia Valley Operations (Cadia) in New South Wales, Australia, with proprietary separation equipment which will be utilized to recover gold and copper from a concentrator tailings stream. The EFD equipment order includes two HydroFloat™ Separators and four CrossFlow® Classifiers.
EFD has designed, supplied and commissioned more than 1,000 flotation systems worldwide for cleaning, roughing and scavenging applications in metallic and non-metallic processing operations. "With strength and expertise in process engineering, equipment design and fabrication, EFD has assumed a leadership role in meeting increasing global demands for minerals flotation systems—especially for coarse particle recovery," says Jaisen Kohmuench, Managing Director of Eriez-Australia. "Our team has successfully led projects, operations and businesses related to mineral processing across the globe. This gives us the perspective and depth of experience to be a trusted equipment vendor and partner to operations, engineers and mining companies throughout the world."
HydroFloat Separators for coarse particle mineral concentration deliver the capacity of a density separator while maintaining the selectivity of a flotation device. Using a novel aeration system to disperse fine bubbles into a fluidized-bed environment, the HydroFloat Separator significantly increases the selective recovery of coarse particles by applying flotation fundamentals to gravity separation. This technology can be applied to coal, iron ore, industrial minerals, base metals and sulfides. Applications include coarse particle recovery in split-feed flotation circuits and scavenging of tailings. It can also be integrated directly into grinding circuits.
Eriez' CrossFlow Separator is a highly efficient hydraulic classifier for the separation of material based on particle size, shape and/or density. This technology can also be used for desliming, counter-current washing and acid neutralization of minerals. The CrossFlow separates particles based on hindered-settling principles, providing an economical and efficient means of classifying material such as silica and frac sands, mineral sands and industrial minerals.
This technology was featured at COM 2017, which took place August 27-30 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. At the show, Dr. Brigitte Seaman of Newcrest Mining presented a paper she co-wrote with colleague Luke Vollert which explores recovery of coarse liberated gold particles using pneumatically assisted fluidized bed flotation, specifically Eriez HydroFloat technology. To request a copy of this paper, contact EFD.

Researcher reveals behind-the-scenes secrets of 'Sensing Murder'
- Publish Date
- Monday, 11 March 2019, 3:23PM
Noreen Hegarty, a researcher for Sensing Murder, has revealed some behind-the-scenes secrets of the show ...
Love it or hate it, there's no doubt the TV programme Sensing Murder attracts a lot of attention.
When in early 2016 I left my district communications manager role with police and took on a contract with Screentime NZ Ltd to research stories for the 2017 series of Sensing Murder, it was on the understanding I keep an open mind about the powers or otherwise of the psychics.
After many discussions with families who'd approached the programme in the hope of having their loved one's story told, I firmed up my view that the programme's strength would be the opportunity it presented to get much-needed publicity for what was otherwise a stagnant cold case.
There is truly value in publicity for such unresolved tragedies, no matter how many years have passed.
Having researched five of the eight stories that TVNZ broadcast in 2017 and 2018, I'm familiar with the programme's format and can vouch for the integrity of the programmes that Screentime produced.
I know the psychics are not told anything in advance of their separate "reading" days.
They are not told where they're travelling to, where they'll be staying, who the person they'll be trying to "contact" is or when the incident relating to the victim occurred. They are literally in the dark about everything.
The two main psychics – Deb and Sue - who featured on the Sensing Murder episodes about Peter Boland, knew nothing of him, his circumstances or the people he was with when he disappeared.
Neither of them knew their travel itinerary as the producer had arranged for their respective tickets to be held in confidence by the airline until check-in time. Even then they only knew the plane's destination, not their final one. The psychics were only told to pack a suitcase, a passport in Deb's case and to expect to be away from home for two nights.
They did not have, once discovering they were in Ōpōtiki to have their readings recorded on separate occasions, any opportunity to Google search Peter's name because they did not know it and, until now, there has been no publicity about his disappearance since 1957.
• The amount of cases actually solved on 'Sensing Murder' will surprise you!
• 'Sensing Murder' psychic credited with helping find Maketū man John Mohi's body
Yet, when put to the test on different days in the Ōpōtiki motel and at the Oponae farm where Peter was last seen alive, they revealed his name, age, the month and year he disappeared and one of the Christian names of the men he was with at the time.
They are provided with a generic map of the wider area and each one, individually, instructed their Screentime driver on the day to travel to the remote farm location for the "scene reading". It was there that they described their impressions of Peter's demise.
Both spoke of Peter's mother who had long since died and referred to his brother (Gavin) but not by name. It was he who'd initiated the whole Sensing Murder process by approaching the programme many years earlier in the hope, one day, it might help him find his little brother.
The common perception among many critics of the programme is that it sets out to solve a homicide or seemingly sinister missing person incident. That's not strictly the case.
The programme format is essentially designed to test two psychics to see how much correct information they can "sense" that the viewer, through having already been told the back story, is aware of but which the psychic isn't.
Any new or previously confidential information that only the family or police know of, but which the psychics also divulge, is a bonus.
Obviously, only unsolved homicides and missing person mysteries qualify to feature so the added value of the programme is the publicity such incidents get which may – or may not – assist ongoing police investigations through generating information.

Russia's Imperial history is full of contradictions. It's one of forced expansions and peaceful colonisation, of ferocious conquests and non-violent territorial gains, tolerant coexistence and merciless repressions. As the empire expanded, a huge variety of people of different faiths and races found themselves in Russian territory and had to find ways to live together. The history of the empire begins in 1721, when Tsar Peter I was proclaimed Russian Emperor, and ends with the overthrow of the monarchy and the October revolution in 1917
Both before and after it, the Russian Empire was a military and ambitious power which played more often than not a significant role on the world stage. Strict centralism has, since the beginning of the 17th century, been the latest unswerving tendency in Russian history. All the threads of power without exception were concentrated at the centre - the metropolis - in the hands of the leaders. Centralised government, clearly, was considered essential to oppose both the centrifugal tendencies of a polyethnic society and threats from the outside world. This form of government seemed to be the only way forward. Any decentralisation, even federalism was understood to be a weakening and in itself a threat to the integrity of the state.
In these circumstances the capital took on a huge significance. All roads lead here, and all decisions were issued from here. All institutions and establishments of the law and executive branches of power were here, politically and physically. Between 1712 and 1918 Saint Petersburg was a city of tsarist palaces, ministries, government bodies, the higher organs of the Russian Orthodox Church, army barracks, and the residences of the most powerful aristocratic families.
Their lives were closely entangled. Political actors met and discussed things with one another. Couriers rushed to deliver despatches, decisions were taken in political salons and from the second half of the 19th century officials and politicians in government institutions were connected by telegraph and telephone lines. All possible communication threads created a fraught political space in which events in the empire were reflected as in a prism. The topography of that political space is the subject of study at the summer school.
The Summer School is designed for students of social sciences and humanities. The curriculum will include Russian language courses for foreign students, presentations, workshops, partially held in Saint Peterburg's public space, and master classes, as well as a special cultural program in the city. The summer school welcomes students from all foreign universities. Admission to the school is also open to students of the Saint Petersburg campus on a competitive basis.
The Summer School 2020 is organized by the Department of History in St.Petersburg (https://spb.hse.ru/en/humart/history/) in cooperation with the Department of the History of Eastern Europe at the Georg-August University of Göttingen (https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/408576.html).
Students who wish to attend the summer school should send a motivation letter and a completed form to Professor Pavel Vasilyev firstname.lastname@example.com.
Further information is available on the programme website Go East, German Academic Exchange Service (https://www.daad.de/ausland/prg/goeast/de/).
Requirements: knowledge of Russian is not essential as all the lectures, seminars and excursions will be conducted in English. A basic knowledge of the history of the country and of contemporary Russia are desirable, but not essential.
The HSE summer school comprises an intensive course in Russian language (students are divided into groups for beginners and advanced levels), seminars and lectures on Topography of Imperial Power: the Political and Cultural Space of Saint Petersburg, and excursions. The main thrust of the summer school is on the theme of the lectures. The mornings will be devoted to language classes with seminars and lectures in the afternoons and tourist excursions arranged around the lecture programme
Language classes: Once students arrive in St Petersburg, they will be divided into groups according to the level of their Russian. Qualified teachers with experience of teaching Russian to absolute beginners will be running the classes. There will be 2 - 3 hours spent learning Russian every day. Students will be taught speaking skills and a basic knowledge of specialised vocabulary.
Thematic course: the thematic seminar is at the centre of the summer school, and is taught professors of HSE and Georg-August University of Göttingen. Participants will be sent a reading list in advance to help them to prepare. In the framework of the thematic course the participants should write an essay (4-5 pages).
Lecture programme: Leading historians, political scientists and economists will be lecturing at the summer school on the history of Saint Petersburg and on the city in the present, about the complex inter-relations between the political institutions of the empire and the contemporary transformational processes in Russia.
Excursions: Saint Petersburg is a European metropolis with an impressive array of monuments which reflect the history of the city and of Russia as a whole. For the summer school the city is both a magnificent backdrop and an object of close examination in seminars and excursions.
HSE will give an official certificate to all students who complete the summer school successfully. If you take part, and on condition you present your own paper, you can earn 5 ECTS credits.

Hot Chip / The XX Kool Haus, Toronto ON April 20
Published Apr 21, 2010London's the XX are a great opening act for the same reason that Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On never goes out of print: foreplay matters. Fresh off a recent Toronto headlining slot, the deservedly hyped combo returned to warm-up duties for dance pop behemoth, Hot Chip.
The XX's stellar debut album thrives on dreamy, entrancing arrangements, circular melodies and hypnotic percussion, all of which their live show painstakingly recreates. Cuts like "Crystalised," "Shelter," and "VCR" translated into enrapturing, head-nod anthems, enthralling a rambunctious crowd. The result was mesmerizing, if not overwhelming, priming atypically eager punters for a school-night dance party.
Like Dizzee Rascal, Hot Chip "got the big beat," and no matter the muddiness of the mix, it translated into venue-wide bouncing. Massive bass drums steered "One Life Stand" and "Hand Me Down Your Love" through sections of spotty sound, while tribal percussion on "One Pure Thought" fused smoothly with disco melodies. Conversely, buried vocals and synths hampered "Boy From School" and "Alley Cats," which should have been crystalline.
Regardless, the joyous crowd largely ignored sound problems, writhing to the grooved-up guitar of "Over and Over" and chanting along to the New Order-inspired dance rock of "Thieves in the Night." For their part, the band kept things playful, bantering about Glaswegian bricks and offering up Old Gregg impressions.
Four records in, Hot Chip's pinko-inspired act, complete with symbiotic multi-part vocals (especially on "Take It In"), has a marked sheen and impressive cohesion. Most tracks built cathartically, thriving on the fusion of sonorous rhythm and smooth melody. Sure, the sound struggled in sections but the set's sheer ebullience largely compensated.

Kentucky Alley Projects: State of the Alley
Team Beargrass Thunder walk through different alleys and talk about how a local community's efforts can improve the neighborhood and surrounding ecosystem in this video series!
Kemmons Art Alley Project: Bashford Manor
The Kentucky Alley Art Project is an initiative started by Jody Dahmer and Dr. Mariah Corso of Beargrass Thunder. When they moved into their new apartment on Kemmons Street in West Buechel, the condition of the alley was less than ideal. Trash, abandoned vehicles, and used needles littered the pavement, and invasive species had all but eliminated the once green foliage. Vehicle break-ins, drug use, and other illicit activities were making the area unsafe. Through the efforts of Jody and Mariah, the "Kentucky Alley Art Project" began. The abandoned vehicles were towed, trash was picked up, needles were disposed of, and some local art was hung up. Local residents began to take notice and the community started to come together in an effort to maintain and improve the state of the alley.
Donations of drawings, paintings, and other pieces of art began to be displayed. A patio table, chairs, and other outdoor furniture started to appear in the alley. The Wingate by Wyndham hotel at the end of the alley even installed a lighting fixture in an effort to increase visibility and reduce crime, as well as commission a mural along the fence! Local residents started to feel comfortable parking and recreating in the alley, and visitors from the hotel could be seen walking and viewing the growing collection of art installations.
People of all ages continue to donate their art and help keep the alley clean and safe. Invasive foliage has been removed and replaced with plant species native to Kentucky. Native trees donated to the Kentucky Alley Art Project by the Louisville Nature Center have been planted along the sides of the alley, turning what once looked like a desolate wasteland into a place where wildlife and nature is beginning to thrive. A place where the community can come together and feel safe is important to Beargrass Thunder.
Improvements to the alley and the surrounding environment as well as donations of art continue to be made daily and weekly. Check out this article about the Kentucky Alley Art Project and keep up to date with the progress with our "State of the Alley" video series on YouTube. If you have art to donate or would like to help in another way, please reach out to us at email@example.com.
Roland St. Alley : Shelby Park
Our latest project is the Roland St. Alley, nestled in the Shelby Park neighborhood between Floyd and Preston St.
We are currently working with adjacent business owners to allow for gardens to be installed and artwork painted on adjacent historic buildings.
If we are successful with this 500 ft. alley, this concept could then be scaled to a larger area or neighborhood in Louisville very easily.

My great friend Tariq Bucha, President of the Farmer's Association of Pakistan (FAP) recently passed away. On September 09, 2012, he made a presentation to the Kaptaan, in his capacity as head of the Agriculture and Rural Development Committee (ARDC) of PTI, together with Dr. Muhammad Shafique the expert on irrigation and water resources. The audience included the ticket holders from Punjab and as usual the Kaptaan was surrounded by the so called electable.
Tariq had solid agriculture credentials, in addition to being the heir to the legacy of his father Malik Khuda Buksh Bucha, the architect of the Green Revolution in Pakistan. For him it was a labor of love. The presentation was delivered at the Leadership Support Office (LSO) run by Shah Mahmood Qureshi which is located on Shami Road; it was a detailed evaluation of the existing situation and the way forward. While Kaptaan was attentive his audience was not and wanted to get it over with it. Tariq tolerated a few interruptions but then finally confronted them, there was a pause followed by silence and he was able to finish what he had started. Then it was Dr Shafiq's turn to cover the water portion. He was given five minutes to present a condensed version, he refused to comply and the presentation ended abruptly.
The entire think tank team was not very happy at the treatment meted out to them by the ticket holders. Despite Tariq's excellent road map for green Revolution II, it was not included in the party manifesto. The Lahore Think Tank of which Tariq was an important part had prepared policy frameworks in five areas: Agriculture, Economy, Security, Local Government and Energy together with the first 100 days plan of a PTI led government. PTI was perhaps the most prepared party to govern with four think tanks (Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, and Overseas) and a fourteen member Shadow Cabinet in place by 2011.
With the onslaught of the electable in late 2011, the party lost direction and selfless professionals like Tariq Bucha got disillusioned. Despite the setback, his ARDC continued to work. A model farm was also developed on Multan Road where alternate form of energy was introduced. Dr. Shafique and his team installed a solar tube well with an over head water storage tank and Bio-gas generator for energy needs was also made operational. A village framework for production and distribution of Bio-gas was also developed by the team.
With his rural roots Tariq was also very keen in the development of livestock and Organic Fertilizer as being used in Italy. In addition to Agri-Marketing and Agri-IT, he desired to build a Rural Development framework for the country. Experts were sought for this purpose. While Urban Development has been on the agenda of the rulers, Rural Development has been largely ignored as there are not too many local experts available.
He also introduced the concept of party Agri councilors to help the farmers. A separate non-political hierarchy was also proposed. As President of the Farmers Association of Pakistan (FAP) he worked very closely with the members and constantly sought their inputs in policy making. Considering the plight of the farmers he was against free trade with India and was very vocal about it.
For Naya Pakistan he firmly believed that growth in the Agriculture sector was imperative. Through his Kisan Risala, he highlighted the development in this area and also communicated it to the community. The slogan of the publication was "A spokesperson for the future of Pakistan". In his death the farmer's community has lost its leader and guide. For a long time Pakistan has been without an effective agriculture policy as a result of which the country has about 1.08 million hectares of cultivable waste land.
Tariq's father Malik Khuda Buksh Bucha who was an agricultural Guru played a long glorious innings. It was because of his policies and leadership that Green Revolution I became a reality. As advisor to Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (ZAB) he continued to develop the agriculture sector and Pakistan became self sufficient in its food production. In light of the traditions of Southern Punjab he avoided confrontation and controversies. As his admirer I requested him several times to write his memoirs but he remained evasive. Finally, I took the liberty to confront him; his soft reply was plain and simple. "When you speak the truth people get offended and try to tarnish your reputation". For him honour and dignity had paramount importance.
Pakistan needs Green Revolution-II, for which Tariq Bucha worked very hard. The party electable did not value his work as they have their own agendas. Tariq's mission should continue in the same manner as he pursued his father's crusade of green Pakistan. His son Furqan Bucha has to step in his father's shoes and share his policies with the nation. Agriculture and rural development is vitally important for the future of the motherland and 70% of its people who live there in sub-human conditions. Growing up in the sixties the voice of Khuda Buksh Bucha was heard on the radio every night 'Mere Kisan Bhaio'. In the information age the message can be transmitted very effectively through the electronic media to start the Green Revolution-II, as envisioned by my friend Tariq Bucha-the farmer with a vision.

The painting under discussion is Three Musicians by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). It was painted in oil on canvas in at a villa which Picasso rented in Fontainebleu in 1921 and….
The Wizard of Oz is one of the biggest American Musicals in film. It has become known world wide, it is apart of our American popular culture, and is best known of all films. It was based on the novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum in the 1900s. It was produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayar in the year of 1939. This film just hit the end of the "Golden Age of the Musical" that started in the early 1930s.
MGM benefited greatly from the hit of the rebirth of musicals.
It's known for the use of technicolor which is a system of making color motion pictures by means of superimposing the three primary colors to produce a final colored print (Websters Dictionary), fantasy storytelling, interesting and creative characters, and the musicality imbedded into it. There was also a complex use of special effects for film in that specific time era which helped the film receive special notice. MGM's film had many awards but one of the most famous one was the award of Best Original Song for "Over the Rainbow.
It was sung by Judy Garland as Dorothy just five minutes into the movie after she was trying to get her Aunt and Uncle to come to a realization of what happened to her poor little dog Toto. In the beginning of the film "Over the Rainbow" is played by MGM orchestra over the starting credits. There is a big taste of fantasy in this particular film which kind of in a way departs away from the musical genre. There is many scenes of flying monkeys, and the wicked witch of the West and Glinda, the good witch of the South, and the munchkins, and talking lions, and a tin man, and a talking scarecrow.
There are many musical scenes that I am fond of in The Wizard of Oz like the scarecrow's song "If I only had a Brain", the tin man's song "If I only had a Heart" and the lion's song "If I only had the Nerve". The Wizard of Oz was the famous directors, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayar's, most popular musical in his time. Starring Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale was one of the best professional choices MGM had in his career. She was the stand out in the whole film.
Also starring Frank Morgan as the wizard, Ray Bolger as the scarecrow, Jack Haley as the Tin Man, Bert Lahr as the cowardly lion, Billie Burke as Glinda the good witch of the south, and Margaret Hamilton as the wicked witch of the west. "Somewhere over the Rainbow" became Judy Garland's signature song. She has been in 32 of MGM's films and she won a Golden Globe Award, Grammy Awards and the Special Tony Award. She was then nominated the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in "A Star is Born". Everyone of the lead rolls in The Wizard of Oz has been in many of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayar's other films.

My child, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice! Everything in me will celebrate when you speak what is right (Prov 23:15-16, NLT).
Wouldn't you like to give God a reason to celebrate? How can I speak what is right, having a wise heart? The Bible says in Jesus are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Col 23:15-16, NASB). So, as with every question, the answer is Jesus. I will seek Him who is the wisdom of God:
Lord Jesus, draw me nearer to You so my heart will grow wise to stimulate my mouth to speak Truth. I want to cause You to celebrate.
Those of us living in Bay County have felt depressed and afflicted by a history-making hurricane. You are the only Source in the universe for peace and wisdom during a storm and its dreadful aftermath. Give me Your words of truth to encourage my heart so I can encourage others.
Thank you for unexplainable laughter that overwhelmed me sometimes more than tears. I recognized the laughter as maniacal, especially in the early days, but what a novel way to temporarily lose my mind, or maybe to save my sanity.
Then, the heaviness descended, again and again. Even now, oppressive mountains of brown and gray debris continue to block the beauty of Your creation. They symbolize the overwhelming problems of displacement, destruction and disappointment. Local heroes of faith have melted down in front of me from the weight of burdens too great to bear.
But, You, Jesus. You keep helping, providing, and strengthening. You have done deeds through human hands and hearts we knew we couldn't do. You are doing it all, through Your willing human servants.
You continue to rule and reign, and no storm will ever thwart Your good plans for Your children. You've even used this painful time to grow our hearts to love and serve neighbors we had never met.
All this destruction reminds me that the only safe and unchanging place is You. Help me celebrate Your goodness. I pray for Your kingdom to come and Your will to rule my heart so it will become more like Yours.

Headquarters American Federation of Labor, 801-809 G St., N.W., Washington D.C. Dec. 22, 1909. To all organized labor: The petitions circulated by the National-American Woman's Suffrage Association for signature and then presentation to the Congress of the United States, have been widely distributed among trade unionists and those friendly to equal suffrage. However, many of the petitions after being signed, have not been thus far forwarded to the Association. The American labor movement stands committed for equality of opportunity, for equal pay for equal work, whether performed by men or women. It also stands for equal rights before the law and that implies equal suffrage in the selection of those who shall administer and execute the law. The purpose of my writing is to urge not only the general signing of the petitions, but after they are signed that they be sent to Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, 1823 H. Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. Trusting that all will array in this effort to secure justice, I am, Fraternally yours, Samuel Gompers, President, American Federation of Labor. NOTE:- All petitions circulated throughout the State of Pennsylvania should be sent to Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, Swarthmore, Pa. and all petitions must be returned before March 15, 1910.

People in the military use drugs and alcohol for the same reasons that other people do. Drugs and alcohol can make you feel good for a short time. But the military lifestyle may also include other factors that can affect alcohol and drug use, such as:
The stress of knowing you may be involved in an armed conflict or being in an armed conflict
The stress of being separated from your spouse and family
Long periods of boredom on a base or in a war setting
A history of accepted risky alcohol use
People in the military use the same drugs as people who are not in the armed services. These drugs include marijuana, cocaine, inhalants, and methamphetamine. The rate of binge drinking is high. Binge drinking is having 5 or more drinks at one time for men and 4 or more drinks at one time for women. About one-half of people in the military binge drink at least once per month. This is similar to how much U.S. college students binge drink.
Drug and alcohol problems (misuse) are a concern in the military for the same reasons they are a concern in the civilian population. They can harm judgment, decision-making, problem-solving, learning, and memory. They can lead to health problems and harm you and your loved ones. They can lead to legal and money problems.
In the military, drug and alcohol problems may also:
Interfere with military readiness. The personal and family problems that substance abuse can cause may make you less ready to meet your military duties.
Harm how well you do your job. If you are high or hung over on the job, you cannot function as well and you may be a danger to your unit and others.
Make it harder to maintain military discipline.
Drug and alcohol problems affect everyone in your unit. Your supervisor and others may be taken away from other duties to help you. Others may have to cover for you, which can take away from their military readiness.
Your behavior can make a difference in how well your unit deals with readiness, logistics, and training. Drug and alcohol problems can put your life and others' lives at risk.
Treatment for alcohol or drug problems in the military is the same as for other adults. Detoxification, medicine, counseling, therapy, and 12-step programs all may be helpful.
All branches of the military have drug and alcohol treatment programs. They provide drug information, treatment, testing, and prevention. Active-duty members of the military may enter a program in several ways:
You can ask for help with your drug and alcohol use if you think it's unhealthy.
Your commanding officer refers you for evaluation if a problem is suspected.
You have a positive drug or alcohol test.
A doctor or other healthcare provider refers you for evaluation if a drug or alcohol misuse problem is suspected.
You get in trouble with the law, and drug or alcohol use is part of the reason.
Veterans may struggle with drug and alcohol problems. They may have started using drugs or alcohol in the service or developed a problem later in life. Drug and alcohol problems in Veterans may be linked with conditions such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The Veterans Administration can help you. Contact your local facility or see https://www.prevention.va.gov/Healthy_Living/Limit_Alcohol.asp.
