The Ordnance QF 25-pounder, or more simply, 25-pounder or 25-pdr, was introduced into service just before World War II, during which it served as the major British field gun/howitzer. Combining high rates of fire with a reasonably lethal shell in a highly mobile piece, it was the British Army's primary artillery field piece well into the 1960s, with smaller numbers serving in training units until the 1980s. Many Commonwealth of Nations countries used theirs in active or reserve service until about the 1970s and ammunition for the weapon is currently being produced by Pakistan Ordnance Factories.
Design Edit
The design was the result of extended studies looking to replace the 18-pounder (3.3 inches (84 mm) bore) field gun and the 4.5-inch howitzer (114.3 mm bore), which had been the main field artillery equipments during the First World War. The basic idea was to build one weapon with the direct-fire capability of the 18 pounder and the high-angle fire of the howitzer, firing a shell about half way between the two in size, around 3.5–4.0 inches (89–102 mm) of about 30 pounds (14 kg).
Development during the inter-war period was severely hampered by a lack of money and it was eventually decided to build a "new" design from existing 18 pounders by converting barrels but designing a new barrel and carriage for production when funds were available. The result was a 3.45 inches (87.6 mm) weapon firing a shell weighing 25 pounds (11.3 kg). It was mounted on late model 18 pounder carriages. One of these used a circular firing platform and this was adopted for the new guns. The firing platform was lowered and the gun pulled onto it, providing a flat smooth surface for the road wheels that allowed the gunners to quickly traverse the weapon in any direction.

Unlike the 18-pounder, the 25-pounder used howitzer-type variable-charge ammunition. For the Mk 1 Ordnance on 18-pounder carriage there were three "charges", Charge 1, 2 and 3 in a single cartridge. The 'proper' 25-pdr, Mk 2 Ordnance on Mk 1 Carriage, also had charge Super in a separate cartridge. An increment for charge Super was introduced in 1943 to provide higher velocity for anti-tank shot. Subsequently another type of increment was introduced to be added to charges 1 and 2 to provide three additional charge combinations for use with upper register (high angle) fire. The introduction of the increment to charge Super was only possible following the addition of the muzzle-brake in the previous year.The 25-pounder was separate-loading, the shell was loaded and rammed then the cartridge in its brass case was loaded and the breech closed. In British terminology the 25-pounder was called "Quick Firing" (QF) because the cartridge case provided obturation (it provided the gas seal in the breech) and was automatically released when the breech was opened.
In common with all British guns of the period the indirect fire sight was "calibrating". This meant that the range, not elevation angle was set on the sight. The sight compensated for the difference in the gun's muzzle velocities from standard. The gun was also fitted with a direct-fire telescope for use with armour-piercing shot. It also used "one-man laying" in accordance with normal British practice.
An important part of the gun was the ammunition limber ("Trailer, Artillery, No 27"). The gun was hitched to it and the trailer hitched to the tractor when on tow. The gun did not need a limber[1] and could be hooked directly to a tractor. The trailer provided the brakes as only a hand-brake was fitted to the gun carriage The trailer carried ammunition; thirty-two rounds in trays (two rounds per tray) in the trailer protected by two doors. Ammunition was also carried in the gun tractor with the detachment and various gun stores. Some stores, such as sights, were carried cased on the gun. Each section (two guns) had a third tractor that carried ammunition and towed two ammunition trailers.
The gun detachment comprised the following: No 1 - detachment commander (a sergeant), No 2 - operated the breech and rammed the shell, No 3 - layer, No 4 - loader, No 5 - ammunition, No 6 - ammunition, normally the 'coverer' - second in command and responsible for ammunition preparation and operating the fuze indicator.
The official 'reduced detachment' was four men.
Many different Companies manufactured the guns and component parts in the UK. Vickers Armstrong in Scotswood, Baker Perkins in Peterborough and Weirs in Glasgow were some of the most significant. The various Royal Ordnance factories produced most of the ordnance components. In Canada Sorel Industries built complete guns and provided the ordnance for fitting to the Sexton. Australia also built complete guns, choosing to weld the carriages rather than rivet, as was the practice in the UK and Canada. In all, over 13,000 were made world wide.
Ammunition Edit
"Normal" cartridge arrangements
The 25-pounder fired "separate"or two-part ammunition—the projectile and the propelling charge in its (usually brass) cartridge case with its integral primer were loaded separately. Typically for a quick-firing gun, the cartridge case provided obturation.
There were two types of cartridge. The "Normal" cartridge contained three cloth charge bags (coloured red, white and blue). White and/or blue bags would be removed from the cartridge to give "Charge 1" or "Charge 2", leaving all three bags in the cartridge case gave "Charge 3". The cartridge case was closed at the top with a leatherboard cup. The second type of cartridge was "Super", which provided one charge only. The cup could not be removed from the cartridge case. In 1943, an Incremental Charge of 5.5 oz (160 g) of cordite ("Super-plus") was introduced to raise the muzzle velocity when firing AP shot with charge Super; this required a muzzlebrake to be fitted.[2] Adoption of "upper-register" (high-angle) fire needed more charges to improve the range overlap. This led to the development of the "Intermediate Increment" of 4oz cordite, which was introduced in 1944. The bags were striped red and white to indicate that they should only be used with Charges 1 and 2. When one bag was used with Charge 1 it provided Charge 1 1/2. When one was added to Charge 2 it provided Charge 2 1/3, and two bags, Charge 2 2/3. This allowed a maximum of seven charges instead of four.[3]
There were many marks of cartridge, mostly differentiated by propellant type. Double-base propellant (nitrocellulose/nitroglycerine) was the UK standard but one mark used US single-base (nitrocellulose only). However, triple-base nitrocellulose/nitroglycerine/picrite was used throughout the war and eventually replaced all others.[4]

The 25-pounder's main ammunition was the high-explosive (HE) streamlined shell with a 5/10 CRH ogive and boat tail. It was also provided with base ejection smoke (white and coloured), star shells, and chemical shells. Incendiary and coloured flare shells were developed but not introduced into service, and smoke shells were sometimes reloaded with propaganda leaflets or metal foil "window". The UK did not develop a WP smoke shell for the 25-pounder.
For anti-tank use, the 25-pounder was also supplied with a limited amount of 20 pounds (9.1 kg) solid armour-piercing (AP) shot, later replaced with a more potent version with a ballistic cap (APBC). The AP shot was fired with maximum charge, Charge No. 3, Super, or Super with Super Increment depending on the ordnance mark, as muzzle velocity was critical in direct fire for penetration and a flat trajectory.
A shaped charge anti-tank shell was under development in Canada, but the introduction of the QF 17 Pounder, an anti-tank gun, in 1944 ended its development. After the Second World War, the UK replaced AP shot with a HESH shell. Coloured marked shells (dye and PETN) were also developed but not introduced.
The standard fuze is No 117 Direct Action (DA). No 119 (DA and graze) was also used. Combustion or mechanical time fuzes were used with base ejection shells and mechanical time with graze were used with HE. VT fuzes were used from the end of 1944 and subsequently replaced by CVT fuzes.
British service Edit

The 25-pounder was the main field artillery weapon used by British Commonwealth and colonial infantry and armoured divisions of all types during the Second World War. Throughout the war each British-pattern infantry division was established with 72 25-pounders, in three field artillery regiments. Armoured divisions eventually were standardised with two field artillery regiments, one of which was self-propelled (see below). Before mid-1940 each regiment had two batteries of twelve guns; after that date regiments changed to batteries of eight guns and added a third battery, a process that was not completed until early 1943. In the late 1950s, the British Army reverted to batteries of six guns. Field artillery regiments had two batteries of 25-pounders and one of 5.5 inch guns.
The early 18- and 25-pounders had been towed in the field by the Light Dragon, a tracked vehicle derived from a light tank, and the Morris CDSW. Throughout most of the Second World War the 25-pounder was normally towed, with its limber, behind a 4x4 Field Artillery Tractor called a "Quad". These were manufactured by Morris, Guy and Karrier in England, and, in greater numbers, by Ford and Chevrolet in Canada. In the 1950s, the British Army replaced the various "Quads" with a new Bedford 3-ton gun tower fitted with a specialist body.

In 1941, the British Army improvised a self-propelled 25-pounder named the Bishop, on the chassis of the Valentine tank. This mount was unsatisfactory and was replaced in 1942 by the American M7 Priest. However, this complicated the supply of ammunition in the field, and was replaced in 1944 by the Sexton, which was designed and mostly manufactured in Canada (some 2/3 of ordnances and mountings were imported from the UK due to limited Canadian production capacity) and mounted the 25-pounder on a Ram or Grizzly tank chassis.

By World War II standards, the 25-pounder had a smaller calibre and lower shell-weight than many other field-artillery weapons, although it had longer range than most. (Most forces had entered the war with even smaller 75 mm (3.0 in) designs but had quickly moved to 105 mm (4.1 in) and larger weapons.) It was designed for the British practice of suppressive (neutralising) fire, not destructive fire that had proved illusory in the early years of World War I. Nevertheless the 25-pounder was considered by all to be one of the best artillery pieces in use. The effects caused by the gun (and the speed at which the British artillery control system could respond) in the North-West Europe Campaign of 1944–1945 made many German soldiers believe that the British had secretly deployed an automatic 25-pounder.[5]
In UK service most guns were replaced by the 105mm Abbot and some by the Oto Melara 105mm Pack Howitzer and the remainder by the 105mm L118 Light Gun. The last British military unit to fire the 25-pounder in its field role (as opposed to ceremonial use) was the Gun Troop of the Honourable Artillery Company on Salisbury Plain in 1992.[citation needed]
Service with other nations Edit

In addition to Commonwealth and colonial forces other Second World War users included the free forces of France, Greece, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. The first shot fired by US artillery against the German army in World War II was from a 25-pounder of the 34th Infantry division.[6]
After the Second World War 25-pounders remained in service with many Commonwealth armies into the 1960s. They were used in Korea by British, Canadian and New Zealand regiments and in Malaya by British and Australian batteries. They also featured in wars on the Indian sub-continent and in the service of Israeli and other Middle Eastern armies.
Since leaving UK service, the last users of the 25-pounder in combat have been the Special Air Service advisors to the Omani Army during the 1972 Battle of Mirbat in Oman, the Cypriot National Guard during the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus and by Kurdish militias in northern Iraq in 2003.
South Africa Edit
The gun was called G1 by the South African Defence Force. It was extensively used in the early stages of the South African Border War, including Operation Savannah. The G1 is still used in the ceremonial role.
Rhodesia Edit
The Rhodesian Army used the weapon during the Bush War but by this stage the round could not penetrate enemy bunkers.
Sri Lanka Edit
The 25-pounder was extensively used by the Sri Lankan Army during the early years of the Sri Lankan civil war. It still remains in service, although only in a ceremonial role.
Ireland Edit
In 1949, 48 ex-British-Army Mark III 25-pounders were acquired by the Irish Defence Forces and were in service with the Reserves until 2009, having been replaced in the Army by the 105 mm Light Gun in 1981. The Irish Army maintains a 6-gun ceremonial 25-pounder battery for use on state occasions.
India Edit
The Indian Army employed the 25-pounder into the 1980s. They were last used in combat during the assault on the Sikh Golden Temple in 1984.
Luxembourg Edit
The Luxembourg Army maintains a number of 25-pounder guns rebarrelled to 105 millimetres (4.1 in) and fitted with new sights for gun salutes.
Greece Edit
The 25-pounder first entered service with Greek forces in North Africa during WWII. Three (I,II & III) field artillery regiments of 24 tubes were created in total as part of the Greek infantry brigades created. They saw significant action at El Alamein and Rimini. After the war the 25-pounder served as part of the Greek Army during the Greek Civil War. A total of 125 25-pounder guns were used by the Greek artillery during the Civil War of 1946-1949, in various organizational schemes. After the Civil War they were organized into seven independent regiments of 18 guns. Following Greece's entry into NATO in 1952 and the standardization on American calibres in 1953, the 25-pounders were not retired (unlike other models), but were reorganised as 13 battalions of eight guns in divisional artilleries. In 1957 the influx of American artillery pieces permitted an increase from 8 to 12 guns per battalion. In 1964 a total of 54 25-pdr guns were delivered from Greece to Cyprus, where they entered service with the Cyprus National Guard organized into 4 battalions of 12 guns (181, 182, 183 and 185) and one independent battery of six guns (184). They saw action during the Turkish invasion of the island in 1974. The 25-pounder remained in Greek Army service until 1992, when it were retired as part of the CFE agreement. The guns of the Cyprus National Guard remain in storage.[citation needed]
Mark I Edit
25-pounder field gun of 153rd Field Regiment (Leicestershire Yeomanry) during a practice shoot in the mountains near Tripoli in the Lebanon, 7 June 1943.
Known officially as the "Ordnance, Quick Firing 25-pounder Mark I on Carriage 18-pr Mark IV", or "Ordnance, Quick Firing 25-pounder Mark I on Carriage 18-pr Mark V" and commonly called the "18/25-pounder". The Mark I was a 25-pounder barrel and breech in the modified jacket of an 18 pounder gun, as a 'loose liner'. The jacket provided the interface to the 18 pounder carriage. The earliest versions retained 18-pounder type elevation sights but later ones had Probert pattern calibrating sights on the right side of the saddle. The Mark IV P, carriage was a box trail, Mark V P, was a split trail. These conversions of the 18-pounder first entered British service in 1937. A few were lost in the Norwegian campaign and 704 in France, leaving about the same number in UK's global stocks. They served in North Africa (until about late 1941) and India. This mark of 25-pounder was limited to charge 3 due to its 18-pounder carriage.
Mark II Edit
25-pounder with a muzzle brake.
The Mark II, fitted to the Mark I carriage was the standard gun during World War II. They were built in Australia and Canada but mostly in UK. Deliveries (from UK production) started at the beginning of 1940 and first entered service with a Canadian regiment stationed in UK during May 1940. No Ordnance 25-pr Mk 2 on Carriage 25-pr Mark 1 were lost in France. This gun fired all charges, 1 - 3 and Super. In 1942 it was decided to fit a muzzle brake to the gun. This was to eliminate the instability caused when firing the 20 lb AP shell with Charge Super at direct fire low elevation angles. To preserve the gun's balance on the trunnions a counterbalance weight was also fitted, just in front of the breech ring. These modifications did not lead to a change in the gun's nomenclature. Eventually all guns serving in Europe were so converted.
Mark II/I Edit
In 1946 a programme was introduced to modify the gun's breech ring by morticing the rear corners. A corresponding modification was made to the rear corners of the breech block. This was to reduce the instances of cracking the ring.
Mark III Edit
The Mark III ordnance was a Mark II with a modified receiver to prevent the rounds from slipping back out when loading at high angles. It was introduced in January 1944.
Mark III/I Edit
This was a Mk III gun with the same modification to the ring and block as for the Mk II/I above'.
Mark IV Edit
The Mark IV was identical to the Mark III/I, and featured the modified ring and a paired block from new.
Short, Mark I Edit
Main article: Ordnance QF 25-pounder Short
A Short 25-pounder in New Guinea in 1944.
The 25-pounder Short Mark I, or Baby 25-pr, was an Australian pack gun version of the 25-pounder, first produced in 1943. This was a shortened version of the standard 25-pounder, mounted on the Carriage 25-pr Light, Mark 1. The Baby was intended for jungle warfare and was only used by Australian units in the South West Pacific theatre of World War II. The gun could be towed by a jeep or broken down into 13 sections and transported by air. During the New Guinea campaign the gun was manhandled up steep jungle tracks where trucks could not operate.
Carriages Edit
The Mark I carriage was the first real 25-pounder carriage. Later in World War II some guns had a double shield, two shields separated by spacers, to improve protection. It had Probert-pattern calibrating sights, but with the range indicator wrapped into the distinctive cone that rotated against a fixed reader arm.
Jury axle Edit
In Burma artificers of 129 Jungle Field Regiment developed a local modification to use a Jeep axle and wheels to produce a narrower wheelbase (by about 20-inches) and some minor modifications to the trail, it was called the Jury Axle. Tests in action showed the gun was stable, it was first reported to GHQ India in October 1943. It appears that it was also used without its shield, and the gun could be disassembled for transport in pieces by Jeep.[7]
The Mark II carriage was basically the War Office approved formalisation of the Jury Axle version of the Jury Axle 25-pounder. Changes from the original included a narrower shield, a new narrower track platform (No 22) and modified Jeep wheels.
The Mark III carriage, also narrow, was a further development of the Mark II carriage to provide joints that enabled the trail to be cranked for "upper register" (high-angle) fire and used with the cranked "dial sight adaptor" previously adopted for high-angle fire. The cranked trail meant that a trail pit did not have to be dug. It entered service soon after World War II. High-angle fire had been introduced in Italy and used increments to charges 2 and 3 to give the 25-pounder seven charges.
The British did further work on the Australian designed short 25-pounder, enabling it to fire charge Super. One or 2 prototypes were produced and the carriage was officially designated the Mark IV, but never went into production.
Self-propelled 25-pounders Edit
Bishop Edit
The Bishop was a British self-propelled 25-pounder using the Valentine tank chassis.
Sexton Edit
The Sexton was a Canadian self-propelled 25-pounder using the Ram or Grizzly tank chassis.

Base: 11 inches Wide by 10 inches Front to Back.
Back: 7 inches wide by 5 1/2 inches top to bottom.
Add a Medium Gel Pad for additional comfort.
very good comfortable seat, back support is good , minor problem is the fact that it slips to the bottom-most position,despite tightening the plastic knob to hold it is the desired position.
I found the seat to be unusable for two reasons. First, I could not get on and off the bike because the seat back was in the way when I tried to swing my leg over the seat. (This shouldn't be an issue with girl's bikes, but is with men's.) Second, the slightest amount of pressure pushes the seat backrest down to the lowest position, no matter how tightly I tighten it. I saw that another reviewer had the same problem, but another reviewer said he didn't, so I bought the seat anyway thinking it was just a one-time problem with that one persons's eat. It's not.
This replacement seat to go on our stationary bike has worked out to be just great! The gentleman from customer service was very knowledgeable about the products they carry and was very helpful in getting us just the right seat for our needs.
I am very happy with the purchase and have not trouble with the saddle sliding down. It's firm on my bike and I love it.
I love the seat it's a wonderful improvement over my old one. Quality and function are both just wonderful.
Great seat with good back support.
What a difference! I love my new bike seat with the backrest! It makes me feel secure on my bike so that I can focus on enjoying the ride and not worrying about tumbling off! I love it...wonderful for those of us who are a little on the older side and need that boost of security!
Excellent product. Can't say enough about how helpful customer service was, thank you.


Co formulation enhance adherence in HIV infected patients who initiate HAART. Aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of Atripla vs Truvada plus Sustiva in naive HIV-infected patients.
This prospective and observational study was conducted at a referral outclinic in Madrid. All consecutive patients who initiated TDF+FTC+EFV coformulated (Atripla) as a first regim were compared to patients who initiated TDF+FTC (Truvada) plus EFV (Sustiva). Primary outcomes were time to viral suppression and immune recovery, assessed quarterly during regular follow up. Secondary outcomes were classified as drug-related adverse events and AIDS related events. Statistical analyses were realised using the Chi-square and the T-student test for categorical and continuous variables, respectively.
The study population was composed by 33 patients included in the cohort of patients treated by Atripla and 72 patients included in the cohort of patients treated by Truvada plus Sustiva. In the Atripla cohort, mean age was 37,4 years, 97% were men, 46% were native Spaniards, 54% were MSM and 6% had a HCV coinfection. In this cohort, mean nadir CD4 count was 291 cells/μL and mean viral load at baseline was 4,3 log. All variables were similarly distributed in both cohorts except for liver stiffness: 18% had a F4 Metavir score in the Atripla group and any case at this stage was reported in the Truvada+Sustiva group. RT sequencing was available at baseline for 67% in patients initiating Atripla and for 75% in the other group. No major mutations were found and distribution was similar for minor mutations. All patients in both groups achieved viral suppression but time was inferior in the Atripla group (2,7 months vs 4,5, p < 0,005) and CD4 recovery was superior; 163 vs 148 (p < 0,005). In both groups, 15% of patients presented CNS-related adverse events. It is noteworthy that one patient treated by Tuvada plus Sustiva presented overdose of EFV.
In current clinical practice, TDF+FTC+EFV coformulated was as effective and safe as TDF+FTC and EFV.

Q: maven jar not including main in manifest I had to revive an old project that worked about a year and a half ago, but now when I do:

either on the command line or via eclipse, it compiles fine but does not add the main-class in the manifest AND I do have the proper directive.

A: You made a classical beginner's mistake: You are assuming that the plugins configured in the pluginManagement section will automatically be used during the build. In fact, they will not. Neither AspectJ Maven nor Assembly will run like this, so of course there will not be any JAR with dependencies in your target directory.
You need to add the plugins explicitly to the plugins section, too, referencing them at least by group ID and name (no version or configuration necessary there, unless you want to override what you already defined in pluginManagement).
Besides that you will notice that AspectJ Maven is still misconfigured and the build will fail as soon as the plugin is activated. But that is outside the scope of your question, so I am not going to elaborate on that here.
P.S.: I copied your settings into my own POM, fixed them and can confirm that as soon as the AspectJ plugin has the right settings, the Assembly plugin does its job as expected including manifest with the right main class.

Update: So you only provide a POM fragment without any code to compile and run, but you want to see my full POM. I find that a bit strange because actually you should provide an MCVE. But anyway, here is what I have: I just incorporated your Assembly Plugin into one of my own projects where I usually use a One-JAR Plugin (builds an executeable JAR of JARs), replaced my plugin by yours and checked if I could run the executeable with java -jar .... The test was successful. I am still on JDK 8, though, for this question I did not upgrade my whole build system. For the example I also stripped out all my other dependencies except AspectJ runtime.

A: I have no doubt that the answer given by @kriegaex would work pre-Java 9, as my old pom.xml was working for years on Java 8. It turns out I didn't give enough info in my question to properly answer this. It was my upgrade from Java 8 to Java 10 that messed up the AspectJ Integration, so it would fail before Maven got to the creation of the jar.
Note: I will continue to refine this as it may be better to use the pluginManagement tag. Unfortunately, I don't modify the pom.xml that often other than dependency tags which are easy. So I get good for a short period working through hard things only to never touch/make major changes for years forgetting all I learned the previous time through.
I found the solution here: Maven AspectJ plugin fails to build with Java 9 due to missing tools.jar
THE ACTUAL SOLUTION: Changing a few lines in my pom.xml did the trick:
            <groupId>com.github.m50d</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.11.1</version>
<!--
            THESE WERE THE ORIGINAL LINES
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>aspectj-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.11</version>
 -->

I figured this out doing this on the command line:
mvn -X clean install

Even the latest version of AspectJ was still looking for the tools.jar file:

A vacation! Travis and I just got back from 4 days in San Francisco. I learned how to spell Francisco about 5 days ago. I had been putting an "s" behind the "n". WHO KNEW!?
We arrived in SF about 9:30 AM on Thursday morning and felt confident in saving some serious cash by trying to find our hotel ourselves through the Metro and Bus system. Well, not sure if this was the best idea. Being newbies in the town, this took us about 2 hours to travel 13 miles. It wasn't my ideal way to start our vacation, but we bounced back once we got an early check-in into our hotel and ate Thai food a bit after noon.
We then "hit the hills" OH MAN, did we climb some hills. I had no idea my shins could hurt like that. I think it was such a different experience to walk down such steep streets, my bones didn't know how to handle it. We walked from our hotel to Fisherman's Warf and walked around the rest of the afternoon. The sunshine felt soo good. The day we left Iowa, I think it was something like 5 degrees!
People were probably wondering who those pasty people were bathing in the sun.
That was our first day, more later!
I love seeing your travel photos. SF looks great. I am anxious to go there again someday. Last time I was there was 1971...wow! You make the city look great!
HAHA...and you walked the hills! That brings back such horrifying, yet rewarding memories of running 26.2 miles of those "hills"!! :) :) Love the pictures!

Golden Jungle Review
Golden Jungle is a 5-reel 4-row video slot with 50 paylines. The slot mixes together the theme of jungle and gold, and offers an enticing online casino experience with two key features described below. These features are a Wild Stays bonus and Player Decision free spins with nine mode selections. IGT made the game for desktop and mobile devices so you can have access to the game at any time and place. The top prize up for grabs is $100,000, with chances of winning more during free spins.
IGT guys made the lush jungles full of gold and gems. Every symbol, except for a tiger, is made of this precious metal or has gold inserts. The reels are placed in front of a brown stone wall that allegedly belonged to the culture of Maya or other lost civilization. Looking at the reels is a pleasure to the eyes because the reels are packed with beautiful golden rings encrusted with diamonds, gold frame hand-held mirrors and other stuff like that.
Users normally encounter 5×3 slots in online casinos because they are trendy in the slot making industry of today. But IGT built the game on an enlarged field that features four rows. This has two implications: the increased number of paylines (50, in this game) and thus higher chances of matching up symbols. Awards are conferred if a certain number of matching symbols are arranged on a payline from the far left reel rightward, without gaps.
Symbols, bets and payouts
Almost all playing pictures relate to luxury, and their massive size, big gems and somewhat outdated style of decoration make you feel they were made centuries ago. The symbols that have no special features attached are a golden ring with emeralds (x75), a mirror (x75), a gold and ruby charm (x75), an emerald amulet (x100), a tear-shaped sapphire charm (x100), a gold cup (x150), a dagger (x150), a precious headband with shining sapphires (x250), a sized chest (x250), an elephant figurine (x400) and a turban (x400).
Coins are present in values of $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $25 and $50. As the player cannot deactivate paylines, the minimum bet is $50, while the maximum reaches $2500 per spin. Therefore, the top three payouts that non-feature symbols can award are $20,000, $12,500 and $7500. These are paid out when the player hits five matching icons.
Stacked symbols
Slot elements known as reels are, in fact, long virtual strips along which over a dozen symbols go one by one like in a photographic film. Normally, two identical symbols never go one after another but sometimes they do. A developer can program a specific slot in a way that two or more of the same pictures are located adjacently on a reel, and this formation is named stacked symbols. This means that immovable reels may display two, three or more identical symbols visible on the same reel at a time. In Golden Jungle, this feature has been implemented for all symbols, thus you can see numerous repeating pictures on one reel.
A Bengal Tiger is a wild icon and a very potent one because it substitutes for all regular symbols and occupies two symbol positions. This means it has twice as much chances to complete combinations than if it had occupied one position as normal symbols do. Moreover, Wild Tigers are excellent payers independently from other pics. Getting 2 to 5 on a line awards x10 to x2000 a line bet ($100,000). This is the slot's top prize available if you place the highest stake.
Wild Stays feature
The game field looks normal except for one thing: there are meters above each reel. A meter consists of four sections. Every time a Golden Deity sign lands on a reel, it adds to the meter above that reel. As soon as four sections are filled, the respective reel turns wild and remains wild for the current spin and the next 3 spins.
A golden arch resembling the Arc de Triomphe in Paris is a bonus symbol. It does not land as frequently as regular symbols and the player has to be patient and wait for at least 3 of them in any position. When 3 to 5 Arches land, you have to choose your preferred bonus mode. There are a total of 9 modes depending on the number of triggering scatters, and each mode offers one or more wild reels that are constantly on during the feature. The modes you can select are:
1) If 3 scatters start the feature, you are offered
15 spins with the third wild reel
6 spins with the second and fourth wild reels
2 spins with the first, third and fifth wild reels
12 spins with the second and fourth wild reels
10 spins with the first, third and fifth wild reels.
Golden Jungle is a 5-reel 4-row 50-payline online casino slot themed around the Mayan civilization. The lowest and highest bets are $50 and $2500, and the top win is $100,000. Features include stacked symbols, two-position wilds, wild reels and 9 free spin modes with 1 to 3 wild reels. The game runs well in mobile web browsers.

Instagram was supposed to be ruined by allowing non-square photos.
Facebook was going to be ruined by allowing people non-college students access to use.
So I don't believe Snapchat will be ruined with the addition of Memories.
I was talking to Adam Walker over coffee about this feature recently. We were both fans. After all, there are things that I like to take photos of and keep an archive of. The disappearing message aspect takes some of the pressure of taking the "perfect photo" like you have in other apps (cough *Instagram* cough). However, some snaps are cool - and I have days where I'd love to have an archive of my Snapchat Story.
While I can download individual snaps to my phone, to keep a good archive of moments, I essentially have to use two (or more) apps. This can get time consuming.
For example, when I got bit by a copperhead last week, I felt the need to document it. I took an Instagram photo of the bite mark (only after I learned from the ER doctor that I probably wasn't going to die) for archiving. I also took a photo for my Snapchat story. While it helped me kill time in the ER while they observed the swelling in my leg, having to capture the same memory twice is a bit time consuming. I could have downloaded the snap of my bite and stored in a photo album or pushed to Facebook/Instagram/Twitter. However, that still requires using a second or third (or fourth...) app to keep that memory archived for future storytelling.
Like any social network, Snapchat needs eyeballs and engagement to see to advertisers. They have to make non-VC money at some point, right?
Adding a feature that doesn't disappear widens the appeal to people who may have not jumped on. The ability to curate memories on their platform will likely attract more users. At least I think so.
While Snapchat "purists" will balk at the idea of being able to save snaps, they'll eventually forget they ever hated it. We humans are resistant to change. However, once we make the change, we often forget that we hated it in the first place.
Plus, it's not like all snaps are automatically saved to memories anyway. The vanishing message feature hasn't vanished at all.
What are your thoughts on Memories?
Welcome addition? Or a sellout move by Snapchat? Or both?


At the heart of Maine Maritime Academy's tug and barge operations program, the Tug Pentagoet provides students with unique hands-on opportunities. In addition to tug and barge operations, the Academy offers semester-long courses in ship handling and workboat operations. During the course of a semester, students work aboard on the waters of Penobscot Bay to learn and practice the art of hawser towing, towing alongside, and a wide range of close-quarters boat handling skills. The Academy acquired the Pentagoet, formerly the Tug Jekyll Isle, in 1984, and since that time has partnered the tug with a variety of barges. Recently K-Sea Transportation generously donated the barge Oyster Bay. Working with this 230-foot notched barge, our students are exposed to all aspects of this growing sector of the marine industry.

World1 sports partners with playermaker to bring football's leading technology to indian clubs and teams
In a bid to support the advancement of the football in India, World1 Sports on Tuesday announced partnership with global sports technology giant, Playermaker.
Playermaker's flagship device is the latest in wearable sports technology, consisting of an ultra-light weight sensor that is strapped around the boot. The technology is currently used by hundreds of teams and academies around the world, male and female, including the Premier league's elite teams.
Playermaker solution was architected by an interdisciplinary team of experts in the fields of biomechanics, machine learning, and football innovation, the Playermaker device collects both technical and physical - performance data such as number of touches, leg balance, short/long possession, kick velocity, distance running, top speed, number of sprint and many more, and makes it available for analysis within minutes of completing training sessions and matches. Furthermore, Playermaker goes beyond traditional GPS vests by providing tactical and technical analysis, in addition to the physical analysis that vests usually provide.
"As the Indian football market dramatically expands, we are thrilled to penetrate this amazing market and level the game up across the country. We have reached a point in time where it is nearly impossible for clubs and teams to be successful without performance data analysis and the key insights provided," said Yuval Odem, COO of Playermaker.

Q: What is the lifetime of a selector? In Objective-C, there are at least two ways to get (or create? Hence the question) a selector: @selector(foo:bar:), or NSSelectorFromString(@"foo:bar:"). But what is the lifetime of a selector?
Since selectors know (at least) their name, they are unlikely to be copiable values of a fixed size that can be shuffled around the program. This means that someone needs to allocate and possibly deallocate them. Most objects from the Cocoa framework have retain-release semantics, which make their ownership explicit and relatively easy to track. However, I see no clear concept of ownership for selectors.
I expect that selectors obtained with the first syntax live as globals for the whole life of the program (like literal strings), but what about the other? If I create/get a selector with NSSelectorFromString(@"foo:bar:"), will it be valid for the whole life of my program too?

A: It's "get", not "create". Both of those simply retrieve the selector, which is created and owned by the runtime system. The SEL's lifetime is therefore effectively immortal.
If you wanted to create a selector yourself, you would need to use the runtime function sel_registerName(). This function is used by NSSelectorFromString() if you pass it a name which is as yet unknown to the runtime.

A: As per Apple's documentation, selectors are registered globally and live forever.  If you pass a new or unknown selector name to NSSelectorFromString it will be registered as a new selector.

Q: Parametrization of $x^2+y^2-ay=0$ I am to find the circulation of
$$y^2 dx + x^2 dy$$
 along the  (counterclockwise) path
$$\Gamma : x^2+y^2-ay = 0$$
both with and without using Green's theorem.
Apparently, $\Gamma$ is supposed to describe a circle but It is confusing because the radius would depend on $y$ ...
So, how should I look at this ? How can I find a parametrization ?

A: Hint:
$$x^2 + y^2 - ay = x^2 + (y-\frac a2)^2 - \frac{a^2}{4}$$
Meaning that $\Gamma$ is the circlle defined by the equation
$$x^2 + (y-\frac a2)^2 = \left(\frac{a}{2}\right)^2$$

A: The equation of your curve rewrites as follows:(just complete the square)
$$x^2+\left(y-\frac{a}{2}\right)^2=\frac{a^2}{4}$$
Here's a circle centered at $(0,\frac{a}{2})$ of radius $\frac{a}{2}$
A parametrisation of that circle is
$$\begin{cases} x=\frac{a}{2}\cos\theta\\y=\frac{a}{2}\left(1+\sin\theta\right)\end{cases}$$
Can you take it from here?

A: If $a\ne0,$ $$x^2+\left(y-\dfrac a2\right)^2=\left(\dfrac a2\right)^2\implies\left(\dfrac x{\dfrac a2}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{y-\dfrac a2}{\dfrac a2}\right)^2=1$$
Use $\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta=1$

NFL Wildcard Weekend Playoff Odds: Detroit Lions vs. Seattle Seahawks
Lions vs. Seahawks Odds
Two teams that have been struggling in recent weeks kickoff the NFC playoffs when the Seattle Seahawks host the Detroit Lions tonight at 8:15PM ET.
According to the oddsmakers at BetDSI, the Seahawks are the clear favorite in this game, as Seattle is getting odds of -8 points against the Lions. The over/under total is listed at 43.5 points. Seattle opened as a 7-point favorite this week and the spread quickly jumped to 8 where it held from there. The public betting is actually with the Lions on the road, as Detroit is getting 57 percent of the wagers as the underdog. Seattle has won three of its last four against the Lions, but Detroit is 3-1 against the spread. These two haven't met this season.
Bet on Lions vs. Seahawks
The Seahawks won the NFC West this season by going 10-5-1. However, Seattle hasn't been very consistent. Seattle has gone just 3-3 in its last six and is only 8-8 against the spread for the season. Known for defense, Seattle has been struggling in recent weeks since Earl Thomas suffered a season-ending leg injury. The Seahawks have allowed at least 23 points in three of their last four, including 34 to Arizona and 38 to Green Bay. On the season, the Seahawks allowed only 18.3 points per game. The team has 42 sacks on the season while forcing a total of 19 turnovers. Offensively, Seattle has struggled all season to establish the run, averaging just 99.4 yards per game on the ground. Christine Michael, who isn't even with the team anymore, is their leading rusher on the season with 469 yards. Thomas Rawls is averaging just 3.2 yards per carry this season and has only had one game with any real impact. Russell Wilson has improved his play over the season after suffering some injuries early in the year. He has thrown for 4,219 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for 259 yards. Doug Baldwin has had another big year, catching 94 passes for 1,128 yards and seven scores.
NFL Quick Links: Free Matchup Reports | Injuries | Odds Comparison | Scoreboard | Betting Trends
Detroit seemingly had a lock on the NFC North at 9-4, but the Lions have lost their last three games, all to playoff teams, to finish at 9-7 and in the sixth Wild Card spot. The Lions have relied heavily on fourth-quarter comebacks this year, as they have trailed in the fourth in 15 of their 16 games. However, a finger injury to Matthew Stafford four weeks ago has caused a steep decline in the offense. He has thrown for 4,327yards and 24 touchdowns on the season, but since injuring himself, he has three touchdowns with six interceptions. Stafford hasn't had much help in the run game, as Detroit averages just 81.9 yards per game on the ground. The unit could also be without two starters on the offensive line as Travis Swanson is out due to a concussion while Riley Reiff is questionable with a hip injury. Defensively, the Lions aren't awful. They have given up 22.4 points and 354.8 yards per game, but their lack of a pass rush and a secondary with little depth has been exploited in recent weeks. Detroit has just 26 sacks on the year while forcing only 14 turnovers.

How Does the NHL Break a Tie in the NHL Standings?
Best of Ice Hockey
Activities Sports & Athletics
by Jamie Fitzpatrick
Question: How Does the NHL Break a Tie in the NHL Standings?
Answer: The NHL standings are determined by total points, with the teams ranked in two conferences. If two or more teams are tied in total points, the tie is broken using the following criteria, in order:
Games Played: While the season is in progress, the team with the fewest games played among the tied teams.
Wins: Most total wins among the tied teams, excluding games won in the shootout.
Head-to-Head Record: Most points in games against each other among the tied teams.
Goal Differential: Using the total goals scored during the regular season, the greater positive differential between goals for and against among the tied teams.

Le Priscilla Bunbury's Virginal Book est un manuscrit musical compilé vers la fin des années 1630 par deux jeunes femmes d'une famille aisée du Cheshire. Il est plus notable pour ses indications de doigté que pour la qualité de la musique qu'il contient.

Manuscrit
Le manuscrit est un volume vertical mesurant 30 centimètres sur 20 centimètres avec une reliure en cuir. La couverture avant porte les mots PRISCILLA BVNBURY en lettres ciselées et la couverture arrière les initiales PB. Il contient trente feuillets de deux pages avec des portées de six lignes. Il y a trente-cinq morceaux de musique bien écrits, mais les première et dernière pages, ainsi que les morceaux qu'ils portent, manquent. En plus de la musique, il y a une recette médicinale et d'autres gribouillis. Au moins deux écritures différentes peuvent être discernées (on en déduit qu'il s'agit des deux premières propriétaires, voir plus bas).

En 2001, le manuscrit se trouvait dans une collection privée en Angleterre.

Auteurs de la compilation
Le premier propriétaire du livre est Priscilla Bunbury (1615-1682), fille de Sir Henry Bunbury de Little Stanney dans le Cheshire et de sa seconde épouse Martha. Le deuxième propriétaire a également été une Priscilla Bunbury (vers 1675 – après 1707), fille de Sir Thomas Bunbury, petit-fils de Sir Henry et de sa première épouse, et filleule de la première Priscilla.

Contenu
Cinq pièces sont attribuées à Robert Hall, dont on ne sait rien. Cinq autres pièces sont d'Orlando Gibbons et trois de Randall Jewett, membre de la chorale de la cathédrale de Chester et frère de Randolph Jewett, peut-être élève d'Orlando Gibbons. L'intégralité de la "Battle" de William Byrd est considérée comme une seule pièce (elle se trouve également deux autres manuscrits). Il y a également une pièce de Giles Farnaby. Les vingt autres pièces ne sont pas attribuées.

Doigtés
Les pièces 1 à 28, correspondant à l'écriture de la première Priscilla Bunbury, contiennent de nombreuses indications de doigté. En ce qui concerne la main droite, cela correspond au système moderne, avec le pouce numéroté "1" et le petit doigt "5". Le système est cependant inversé pour la main gauche, où l'auriculaire est numéroté "1" et le pouce "5". Il est clair que l'auteur a privilégié l'utilisation de l'annulaire pour la main droite et de l'annulaire et du pouce pour la main gauche sur les notes "fortes".

It's a big party that always takes place in the dead of winter prior to Lent, and it's the Quebec variant of Mardi Gras.
Randeep's illustrations have been making a splash on the internet for some time now. You may remember his DrawNYC series, which mixed his illustrations with photographs of scenes around his neck of New York City.

Instagram launches new stickers for retailers
Published in General on 17-04-2020
Instagram has introduced new 'stickers', that direct users to a website where they can order food or gift vouchers. In this way, the social network wants to help retailers and small businesses during the corona crisis.?
Gift vouchers or fundraising
To help independent retailers and small businesses during the corona lockdown, Instagram launches new stickers that local businesses can add to their Instagram 'stories'. If a visitor clicks on a sticker, he or she will be taken directly to a web page where they can order food, buy a gift certificate or raise funds.
The food and gift vouchers are already available in the United States and Canada, in the rest of the world the new buttons will be launched in the coming weeks. Fundraiser stickers will follow soon. Users will then be redirected to a fundraiser of the company's choice on Facebook, which could also be a fundraiser for the retailer himself.
"Small businesses are the backbone of local communities and restaurants are the soul of neighborhoods", Instagram COO Justin Osofsky told Charged Retail: "They bring people together and build community. We want to do our part in helping them stay open, keep in touch with customers, and be informed on how to navigate this crisis."

If you haven't already done so, click on the plus button (+) in your Factivate home page.
Select a template from your available list.
Click on each "blue" colored tab in a template and go to the top ruler to connect your accounts (Facebook, Google, etc) and make sure you click on "Enable" so the data begins pulling. Nice!
Do this for every blue tab.

#FactivateTips: You can share reports, dashboards, and even individual cells inside a spreadsheet while limiting read/write permissions with those users.
If you've ever used a spreadsheet, then Factivate will be as sweet as pie for you to pick up!
Factivate workbooks are where data is organized, connected, shared, and informed decisions will take place. They give everyone a non-manipulated perspective on their data. Workbooks are made up of Spreadsheets and Datasheets.
Spreadsheets represent your custom interface where you build your reports and dashboards. Datasheets are tabs marked by a "blue" background in the "tab name" section and they represent "connected" views that display all of the third party data from third-party connector/account.
Creating a workbook from scratch is easy! Let's break it down.
At the bottom of your Factivate workbook, locate and click on the plus button (+) to create a new tab. This will open up the list of types of sheets you can add (spreadsheet or datasheet).
Once you select your sheet type, go to the top of the page and make sure you are on the ruler tab that corresponds to the sheet (for example, if you added a tab for Facebook Insights, the tab on the ruler on top will read Facebook Insights).
Click on the "Authorization" icon to first connect your account to the outside service. Then, make sure you click on the Set Account icon and select which account you want to pull data from.
On the top ruler, you can search for the columns you want to pull into Factivate by: 1) typing in the Column Filter section or, 2) by scrolling (left-right) in the Feed Columns section. Select your column desired and click on "Add" (+). You can add as many columns as the API allows. Finally, click on Cloud icon to "Enable" your automatic data pulls.
Factivate supports most of the popular spreadsheet formulas you already know. However, you will need to write a new formula should you wish to reference data on the "blue"/"connected" Datasheets. Writing this formula type is easy. All you have to do is add a DS( to your typical formula!
This formula tells Factivate go add all of the numbers under the column called Impressions in the Sheet1 tab.
DS Formulas can have multiple filters to give you even more control. To learn how to use all of these formulas, you can learn more here.
#Factivatetips: Factivate support representatives are available to help you if you struggle with any of its formulas. You can contact support@factivate.com at any time. You can also see examples of the DS formulas in all of Factivate's templates.
Factivate provides cell-level action triggers to alert you whenever a specific data point changes beyond your comfort zone. These are included in the actions panel located to the right of your spreadsheet. Let's send an email when a cell changes!
Add your email title, content, email address, etc.
Now you can select to provide read, write, or administrative permission by simply adding the email addresses of whom you wish to share. They will automatically receive an email notifying them of their access.
