Major Depressive Disorder and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Essay
Submitted By Shantarra
I.	Do you agree with the diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder for Janet? State your reasoning by using diagnostic criteria for the DSM-5 (use your notes and power points) and matching it with Janet's signs and symptoms.:
Yes, I do agree with the diagnosis of MDD for Janet. She met the criteria with her symptoms: depressed mood, feelings of worthlessness/guilt, diminished ability to think/concentrate, significant weight gain, and insomnia. She was clearly in a persistent sad mood and it impaired her interest in school therefore she had to drop her classes. These characteristics lasted well over 2 years.
II.	What are your basic thoughts about Janet and her situation? What red flags came to your mind about her?
When she was only a child, she suffered the emotional trauma of losing her mother. The guy who she dated and fell in love with in high school suddenly left her because he wanted to date other women .
III.	What are the environmental stressors that could be contributing to her Janet's feelings of depression?
The environmental stressors on Janet were definitely her family. As stated, she didn't have hobbies because she didn't have time. The new life of her ex-husband is emotionally stressing on her because she loved him very much and she has a child from him. She desperately wanted to remain in school but she could not balance it out. On top of that, she would no longer be eligible for student aid and would have to start paying the student loans back to the school.
IV.	What aspect of Janet's personality and what cognitive habits (thought patterns) could be playing a factor in her depression?
Cognitively, she definitely has fear within her. She thought to just completely withdraw from her classes in the middle of the term with fear that she…

TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) - Florida election officials on Thursday ordered a hand recount of ballots in the closely fought U.S. Senate race between Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson and his Republican challenger, Governor Rick Scott, after a machine recount showed them divided by a razor-thin margin.
But in another tight contest, Republican Ron DeSantis appeared to secure the Florida governor's seat against Democrat Andrew Gillum when the electronic recount showed DeSantis with an 0.41 percentage point lead, outside the threshold to trigger further recount.
"A vote denied is justice denied — the State of Florida must count every legally cast vote," Gillum said in a statement after the machine recount concluded.
In the next stage of the recount, Florida counties face a deadline of noon E.T. on Sunday to submit their election results - including a manual recount of undervotes or overvotes, cases where the machine that reviewed the ballot concluded a voter had skipped a contest or marked more than one selection.
But both the Senate and governor's races were closely scrutinized as Florida is traditionally a key swing state in presidential elections.
Florida's close races and legal disputes over the validity of votes have stirred memories of the 2000 U.S. presidential election, when the U.S. Supreme Court stopped an ongoing recount in the state and sent George W. Bush to the White House.
The Scott campaign called on Nelson to concede. "Last week, Florida voters elected me as their next U.S. Senator and now the ballots have been counted twice," Scott said in a statement.
U.S. District Judge Mark Walker in Tallahassee, Florida, separately ordered election authorities to allow voters a chance to fix signature issues on an estimated 5,000 ballots that were rejected by officials. A Georgia federal judge issued a similar ruling as that state worked to resolve a close governor's race.
Along with the hand recount, Nelson's supporters have asked the court to allow mail-in ballots to count if they were postmarked before the election yet arrived too late.
The Democrats' majority in the new House expanded by another seat on Thursday when the Maine Secretary of State's office declared Jared Golden the winner of a race against incumbent Republican Representative Bruce Poliquin. That race represented an early test of a new state ranked-choice voting system, designed to prevent candidates in races with three or more contenders from winning office without majority support.
Walker grew testy during a series of Thursday hearings about lawsuits over the recounts, voicing frustration uneven recount progress in different counties and also the Florida legislature's response to historic election problems.
Separately, a federal judge in Georgia on Wednesday ordered state election officials to count some previously rejected ballots in that state's governor's race, where ballots are still being tallied but Republican former Secretary of State Brian Kemp has declared victory over Democrat Stacey Abrams.
This year's campaigns went down as the most expensive midterm elections in U.S. history, with some $5.25 billion spent on advertising, up 78 percent from the last midterm elections in 2014, according to a Kantar Media analysis released on Thursday. Spending was 20 percent higher than the 2016 presidential election.

Fox News Argues Kendrick Lamar Is More Damaging to Black Youth Than Racism
By Tom Barnes
For the past two months since To Pimp a Butterfly dropped, Kendrick Lamar has been reinvigorating hip-hop, making it a powerful political and social force again. And Fox News could not be more upset.
On Fox News' the Five on Monday, a group of pundits weighed in on Lamar's Sunday night BET performance, which he performed "Alright" from on a top of a "vandalized cop car," as Eric Bolling, the show's cohost, described it. They did not love the show, to say the last. And the conversation they had gave Geraldo Rivera the chance to repeat the infuriatingly shortsighted comments he made about hip-hop in February — the genre has "done more damage to young African-Americans than racism in recent years."
If anything, Fox News is one of the biggest reasons we need hip-hop now more than ever.
Source: Mic/Media Matters
Fox's beef: The show's hosts took special issue with Lamar's lyrics: "And we hate po-po / Want to kill us dead in the street fo sho." Rivera called them "counterproductive," while co-host Dana Perino said the performance "incites violence." None of the hosts bother to address any of the numerous recent incidents of police brutality, or the fact police are 21 times more likely to shoot black teens than white teens — facts that likely motivated Lamar to write such lines.
Rivera also said the lyrics "conflate what happened in this church in South Carolina with these tragic incidents involving excessive use of force by cops" and serve to "equate this racist killer with these cops."
However, nothing about the performance suggests such claim. The lyrics to "Alright" were written and released far before that event ever occurred. The only thing suggesting such a connection is that incidence of racial violence happened more recently than any major incidence of police brutality. The only one conflating these incidents is Rivera.
This segment is only one example of Fox News' recent critiques of hip-hop culture. On Thursday, Fox News host Sean Hannity argued on his radio show that the music of Jay Z, Snoop Dogg and Beyoncé is just as offensive and dangerous as the Confederate flag and its long history of racial intimidation.
In its critiques of hip-hop, Fox News is ignoring so much of the genre's complexity. With Lamar, the song "Alright" is about finding a way to rise above adversity — be it institutionalized racism, poverty or depression. Fox News also seems to be ignoring all the good Lamar and the hip-hop community has done to give uplift the country's youth. This year alone, Lamar has visited a high school in New Jersey, appeared at a free youth festival in Chicago and received an award from California's 35th Senate district for being a generational icon.
Hip-hop is not destroying the youth. But it is offering them a critical lens with which to view the inequalities still present at every level of our society. It's giving our country's a vital window into what's actually happening on the ground in our country's struggling cities, while Rivera and Fox News only report on what fits their thugs versus police narrative.
Watch the Fox News' full discussion of Lamar's "Alright" below.

Hunger Games stunt double Carlos Lopez dies, aged 25, after falling from a building
The incident reportedly took place at a youth hostel in Lisbon
Friday 03 October 2014 15:17
Hunger Games stunt double and parkour fan Carlos Lopez IV has died after attempting to jump from his fourth-floor window to a veranda opposite his balcony.
He was 25-years-old.
The incident took place yesterday at the Goodnight Hostel in Lisbon, Portugal. Lopez, who was from North Carolina, was allegedly practicing parkour – now a recognised sport which involves moving from place to place in the most efficient way possible.
The discipline was first established as military obstacle course training.
"I've never seen as much blood. I woke up with the noise, went to the window and saw the young man lying on the ground, on an interior patio we share with the hostel where it happened," said neighbour Natercia Gama.
Lopez's film credits include The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Olympus Has Fallen, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and 22 Jump Street.
Post by Carlos Lopez IV.
He also appeared in various television programmes, such as Boardwalk Empire and The Vampire Diaries.
His IMDB page states that he most recent project was a comedy called The Nest, alongside Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, due for release in 2015.

Jim & Enid Hyde
In 1963 to 64, Enid Hyde gave our
Lower Sixth French class Russian
lessons once a week. There were
four of us, but we weren't very good.
I was interested in Russia and Russian,
but I couldn't get into it - maybe it
was just too difficult, and I had other stuff going on at the time. Anyway,
after some weeks, those lessons
were discontinued, and I have felt
bad about it ever since.
Mr Mrs Hyde were the epitome of class;
we should have done better.
Chris Snuggs - May 2020
Chris Snuggs - Berners/Halls 58-65: "Jim Hyde was a WHS colossus, and not only intellectually. I can't possibly do justice to this man, who gave so many years of complete dedication to the school and boys, both as a supreme teacher of geography and as a housemaster, not to mention his "Young Farmers" and other activities.
I wasn't in his house, but once on the touchline watching a 1st XV game he confided in me his regret at not being able to take on a Headship, given that he was not a practising Christian and would not be able to carry out the religious role and duties required of a Head at that time. I have no idea why he suddenly opened up to me; I was in the 5th form and certainly didn't know him all that well, but I guess this was a matter he felt quite deeply about.
When Peter Brown, Mike Bysh, Jim Atkinson and I organised a reunion at Pin Mill after a 40 absence from school, we were fortunate enough to meet up with him. Sadly, Enid had died a year or so before, which hit him very hard. But he was very pleased to see us and invited us round for tea. I reminded him of something he'd once said, when a boy whose name I forget said to him. "How comes you are so clever, Sir?"
He replied. "I'm not that clever; I'm just 5,000 books ahead of you." But of course he was very clever indeed - and an unforgettable personality. One cannot think of WHS without thinking of his contribution. It will sadly no longer be possible to see him again, but he will always remain a part of what made us."
Bill Kitchen: I found Jimmy Hyde to be an incredibly engaging teacher. He taught me Geography for four years ..... for the latter two to "O" level. He'd read that at least 70% of learning was visual, so virtually every lesson consisted of him lecturing over a series of black and white (actually sepia in reality) images on a film roll. "What does the Gobi Desert LOOK like?" he might ask after several lively suggestions from us. Then he'd say: "Well, THIS is what it's really like.....!" We hardly opened our books at all. Geography had one of the highest "O" level pass rates.
Louis Parperis - Orwell 63 to 70: Jim was an extremely engaging personality - though initially a little intimidating - and a marvellous teacher, with a seemingly boundless scope of knowledge. His geography lessons were as enjoyable as they were informative and I still hear that booming voice from the top of the stairwell instilling immediate order in the classroom as he commanded that we open our atlases at the map of Keswick. My favourite memories of him both as a teacher and as a man were of the term I spent in the political studies elective he taught to sixth formers on Friday afternoons. He was a prolific writer of surprisingly dreadful novels, none of which ever saw the light of day, drawing rejection letter upon rejection letter from every publishing house in the country. Enid was not only an incredibly accomplished linguist, but a notable botanist specialising in Alpines still revered by the botanists of Suffolk for which she served as the county recorder of flora as well as writing extensively about other flora, such as Botswana, and was a leading Alpinist, spending her summer holidays with Jim as her amanuensis collecting details of plant life in the Alps.
Jonathan Kemp - Corners 73 to 80: Jimbo was renowned for saying 'OK', and would sometimes say it two are three times on the trot and we would sit in class and play 'Jimbo Cricket'. Each 'OK' was a single, a double 'OK' was a four and a treble, a six. You kept on scoring until he asked you a question and then you were out and it was the person next to you whose turn it was to bat.
Chris Snuggs - Berners/Halls 58 to 64: Jim was very authoritative and confident in his comunications. All teachers knew their subject of course, but Jim really made you feel that what he had to say was totally interesting, important, relevant and accurate. We did a lot of practical work: drawing vocanoes, 3D drawings from Ordnance Survey maps. diagrams of weather fronts and so on. He didn't have the range of audio-visual resources available today, which is a pity, as he would have totally nailed their use - but he did a lot with what he had.
He was unforgettable and inspiring - and in a way intimidating through his natural authority, but I myself never knew him to be anything but kind and dedicated to his vocation. (SEE ALSO HERE)
MARY HYDE (1925–2002) Enid Hyde, who died on 5 September 2002, was a keen botanist, serving as county recorder for Suffolk with Francis Simpson from 1986 to 1995. She was born in Birmingham on 18th June 1925 to a radical family. Her father was president of the National Union of Teachers; mother taught classes in the poorer areas of Birmingham. Mother came from Worcester and it was from her that Enid was initiated into a love and appreciation of flowers. She went to King Edward's High School in Birmingham, where she was an outstanding scholar. She was offered, after her sixth form career, places at both Newnham College, Cambridge and Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. In choosing the latter, she said it was because it had a better rail connection than Cambridge.
At school she had also been outstanding at sport, captaining the school team at rounders and hockey. At Oxford, she read modern languages (German and French) and took up bell-ringing. After this she worked on the Control Commission in Berlin as an officer in naval intelligence. It was a very stressful time. In 1948, she was flown out in the "Berlin Airlift" in a dilapidated Dakota. She was no sooner back home than she applied for a teaching job in Switzerland. For two years she lived in the hills above Montreux. Her love of alpines began here. A stay in England was followed by marriage and life in rural Quebec where in isolation and in an extreme climate, she again encountered flowers. Her son Mark was born there and brought up in a log cabin, devoid of water and electricity. What did that matter when there were Trillium?
She returned to England in 1958 and, with her husband Jim, settled in Woolverstone by the Orwell estuary in Suffolk. For a while in the exciting world of the Suffolk flora, there was regular botanising, but it was not until 1971 that she began systematic recording. For the next 30 years, on every possible occasion, she was recording plants. From Shotley to Burgh Castle to Newmarket, not much of Suffolk got missed. With her son Mark, (also a keen botanist, now living in Zimbabwe), with Francis Simpson or with Jim, she always had her notebook. As a consequence came her herbarium, her annual plant list for Suffolk Naturalists' Society, her contributions to the Ipswich and District Naturalists Society and to leading the botanical trips of many other local societies.
Her greatest contribution to Suffolk botany was the enormous amount of work she put into getting Simpson's "Flora of Suffolk" (1982) finished and published. The project had languished for over 20 years with little hope of publication; Enid, with her son Mark brought the recording up-to date. Her patient and meticulous approach to the work was in contrast to Simpson's (by his own admission) abrupt and cantankerous manner and this was of great help in getting the manuscript completed. It is typical of her modest attitude that her name is not on the cover. During her time as Recorder she established a network of volunteer contributors with whom she corresponded regularly. She was very careful to acknowledge all records sent in and spent a lot of time identifying specimens for others. She co-ordinated work in Suffolk for the B.S.B.I. Monitoring Scheme (1987-88) and spent many hours compiling data for the Scarce Plants Project, including much research in old literature and herbarium sources. Her own recording was, of course, exemplary and you could be absolutely confident that all her records were accurate and properly documented. She passed on to me a brilliantly maintained archive of Suffolk records when she retired as Recorder in 1995.
Although her own publications were few (outside of annual reports) she did publish papers (in Suffolk Natural History) on the inland spread of maritime species, Calamints, Oenanthe pimpinelloides (which she had discovered in 1975 at a site near Ipswich) and Mistletoe. Her study of languages and teaching experience had provided her with excellent grammatical skills and these were put to good use in editing and proof reading many of the publications of the Suffolk Naturalists' Society. The Society recognised her contributions by electing her as a Rivis Vice President in 1995. She was very keen on the conservation of the Suffolk countryside and looked after a local protected roadside verge which harboured a colony of Orpine, Sedum telephium (illustrated in Simpson's Flora) . I can remember her consternation when she discovered the plants were being consumed by the larvae of a scarce micro-moth!
As her herbarium shows, she was acquainted with the alpines of Austria, Italy, Switzerland and the Pyrenees. She collected in Spain where she botanised on much of the coastal areas from the French frontier to Andalucia – and Corfu. She also collected vouchers for many of her Suffolk records and of many unusual aliens. The collection has been passed to Cambridge University where it will be accessible for public and academic study - I am sure she would have been particularly pleased to know that her herbarium was being well curated and used. Her last holiday was in the Valais of Switzerland. In the Val d'Hérens, at 1500 m in the mayan of a Swiss friend who, knowing her interest in flowers, had delayed the hay-making. She was deliriously happy. The funeral and burial in the pretty churchyard alongside Woolverstone Hall (where she had taught for many years) was attended by family and friends. Amongst the straight, dark yews I spied a sprig of the cut-leaved bramble Rubus laciniatus, a plant Enid would have appreciated.
Phil Anthistle - Berners 71-78: "Enid Hyde was a teacher (French),and a good one. I remember her telling our class about her time as a young woman in Berlin just after the war finished. Particularly memorable was the anecdote about entering some of the offices of the former regime with Nazi paperwork strewn across the floors, documents bearing signatures of the notorious hierarchy. She said she had gathered some of the papers as mementos. Although we didn't get to see them she did say a couple were initialled A.H."
Mick Wenlock - Johnstons 65-70: "I met her a few times at various meetings in the Housemaster's apartment to watch some significant TV program or for a social call. As far as I know she never taught a class at Woolverstone but she played a very important role for me in my last year at Woolvo. In 1970 it was 'O level" time for the fifth. It was also the time I peaked in my unpleasant attitude. I managed to tick off two of my Teachers (Pete Sadler and Mr Shakeshaft) to the point where they banned me from their classrooms. I, of course, was the one who precipitated the blow by being a supremely objectional twat.
So in that spring term I spent those class periods either wandering aimlessly or studying in the 5th form common room at Johnstons. It took Edith about a week to gently knock on the door of the common room and to ask me if I was ill. I told her what I was doing. She asked if she could help me with the French revision - I had no idea until that point that she was a good linguist. For the rest of that term and then again in the summer term when there were no classes she persisted in stopping by a couple of times a week and taking me through exercises in French. It is because of her that I made my way through "La Chanson de Roland". For that feat alone she deserves my lifelong thanks. My top two 'O' Level results were French and History."

What is Contemporary Art?
Alexander García Düttmann [see all titles]
The heart of the political-aesthetic debate.
The modern self-conception of art includes questioning giving bodies of knowledge and traditions. Today art is frequently practiced in conformist confirmation of the neoliberal zeitgeist, particularly when it denies its own radicality. What is Contemporary Art? is the attempt to conceptualize the relationship between art and politics for our time. Alexander Garcia Düttmann's essay both theoretically apprehends the radicality of contemporary art and shows how it serves to strengthen today's political ideology: an ideology that frustrates real social change. The book addresses the heart of contemporary political-aesthetic debate.
Alexander García Düttmann (born 1961) is a philosopher and translator of numerous philosophical works. After growing up in Barcelona, he studied in Frankfurt am Main with Alfred Schmidt and in Paris with Jacques Derrida. Since 1992, he has lived in San Francisco, New York, Melbourne, and London, and he has taught at Stanford University, The University of Essex, Monash University, New York University, Middlesex University, Goldsmiths College, and the Royal College of Art. He currently teaches at the Institute for Art History and Aesthetics of the University of Arts in Berlin.

Francis Olme Cook: Death Certificate & Obituary
Tataviam Culture
Death certificate for Francis Olme Cook, May 10, 1865 - March 13, 1931.
Francis was a daughter of Antonio (Antoine) Olme, who was born either in France (per 1910 U.S. Census) or in Belgium (per this death certificate); and Florida Parker, a California Indian whose heritage we do not yet know.
Soon after her 14th birthday, on May 30, 1879, Francis married Mr. Dolores Cook, whose mother was a California Indian born at Mission San Gabriel (Tongva?). In 1882 the couple moved onto a quarter section of land — a quarter section is usually 160 acres — in Castaic. Dolores Cook, who worked for Castaic land baron William Jenkins, was murdered in 1890 by two of Jenkins' rivals. Less than three months later, Jenkins swindled the widow Francis Olme Cook out of her Castaic land.
Francis had at least two brothers, Joseph and John Olme.
Francis and Dolores had two sons, Theodore and Frederick S. Cook(e). According to the obituary below, they also had a daughter, Valentine, who married a Biscailuz.
Sometime after selling her land to Jenkins, Francis moved into the household of her younger son Fred in Castaic. Fred was married to Chief Frances Garcia (Cooke), who descends from Tataviam Indians who lived at Chaguayabit/Tsawayung village, aka Castaic Junction, prior to European contact.
The certificate gives her name as "Francisca (Cook) Garcia." We don't really know why. It could relate to the fact that the elder, Chief Ysidoro (Isidore) Garcia (father of Chief Frances), also lived in the Fred and Frances Garcia household.
Her death certificate says Francis Olme Cook was married at the time of her death, but it lists her spouse as "unknown." It doesn't show the identity of the informant for the certificate.
Sometime between 1910 and 1931 the Fred and Frances Garcia family moved to Newhall. Francis Olme Cook's death certificate states that she lived her whole life at Walnut and 9th streets in Newhall, where she died from heart failure. As noted, that is not quite accurate.
Undertaking services were provided by Noble of San Fernando. Francis Olme Cook was buried March 16, 1931, in the Ruiz-Perea Cemetery in San Francisquito Canyon.
Old Resident Goes to Last Home.
The Newhall Signal | Thursday, March 19, 1931.
Mrs. Francesca Cook died suddenly, Saturday morning, March 14, at the home of her son, Fred Cook, on Walnut Street. The funeral was held Monday morning at the Catholic church, in charge of the pastor, Rev. Father Dwan. Interment was in San Francisquito cemetery, north of Saugus.
Francesca Ohlme was born in Los Angeles in 1866. She was married to Dolores Cook when she was sixteen years old. From this marriage two sons and one daughter were born, Fred Cook of Newhall, Theodore Cook of Long Beach, and Mrs. Valentine Biscailuz, who died several years ago.
Mrs. Cook made her home here for many years, and has a host of friends who will miss her friendly greetings.

Yesterday, the Parliamentary Assemble of the Council of Europe elected the new European Court of Human Rights judge in respect of Belgium. From the three candidates, Paul Lemmens received a majority of votes cast (85 out of 158). Of the three candidates (see their CV's here) Lemmens, who is a professor at the Human Rights Centre of Leuven University, is the one with the most extensive ECHR expertise. Apart from being an academic who has written a lot on the ECHR and human rights more generally, Lemmens also has practical experience, foremost as a member of the Belgian Council of State and a member of the Human Rights Advisory Panel in Kosovo (one of the only areas currently falling outside of the geographical scope of the ECHR). He has litigated at the European Court both on behalf of applicants and on behalf of the government. Finally, he has been an ad hoc judge in four cases before the European Court. He thus seems to be very qualified (which I can also attest from various academic conferences which I attended in which he participated in nuanced and thoughtful ways).
As to a remarkable point in the procedure, on which I reported earlier, the following can be added. In the letter presenting the three candidates, the Belgian government stated the following about the fact that the list of candidates included men only:
However, since the current list does not contain a female candidate, we are aware that is admissible only by way of an exception, having regard to the special circumstance of the case. It should be noted in this connection that the State not only made a public call for candidatures widely published in the Official Gazette and the special-interest press and open for a month, but also required all candidates who responded to undergo an interview without short-listing on the basis of the CV. Lastly, at the interview, under arrangements available for your consultation, steps were taken to have the qualifications and experience of all candidates of both sexes assessed in such a way that their applications could be considered on equal terms.
It emerged from the interview that the sole female candidate to come forward did indeed meet the requirements of competence stipulated by Article 21, paragraph 1, of the Convention, but like other candidates also meeting the requirement of competence, could be classed as not possessing equivalent competence to the three candidates mentioned above.
Paul Lemmens was elected for a term of office of nine years, starting on 12 September 2012. I wish him wisdom in the fulfillment of his new capacity. Congratulations, professor Lemmens!

American. International brand, marketing and communications specialist. Strategist. Storyteller. Accidental life saver. That's me: Joe Danielson.
The Joe story. I wrote my first story at the age of four. By story, I mean more than just combining letters into words, sentences and paragraphs. I mean using written communications to make people feel happy, sad, inspired, motivated, informed, loved and so much more. Of course, when I was four, my family was my readership. And the subject of my first story was ants playing tennis. But it was a start. I sharpened my skills as a writer when I discovered journalism and marketing in college. I gained a degree in journalism and started working as a journalist. Then I won an internship at America's top-ranked international business marketing agency in New York City. And realized that clients would pay me good money to help them write as well as develop, implement and monitor communication strategies, concepts and tactics. I moved to Sweden in 1994. Today, I have two wonderful teenage boys. And live in Lund.
Joe and Swedish healthcare. I've had the good fortune to have partnered with many highly talented Swedish and international scientists, medical and dental specialists, clinicians and caregivers in my work. And have long felt that Sweden is home to some the best care anywhere. As I have written for one client: Sweden has a long tradition of delivering high quality, economically viable healthcare. For many years Sweden's health care system has regularly ranked at or near the top of most comparative analyses of various international health care systems.
But societies, the people in them and the systems meant to uphold them change. And the long-standing truth that Sweden = top care quality is in jeopardy.
Care quality in Sweden faces some tough challenges moving forward. For instance, Sweden already has the second highest life expectancy in the world: 83 years for women and 79 for men — at the same time its citizens keep living longer. This increases demands on the universal health care provision enjoyed in Sweden; older means more and more complex patient conditions as well as the more expensive and time-consuming treatment. Meanwhile, there is a shortage of health care professionals working at all levels in Sweden — both in the short- and over the long term. As important, competency of those working in healthcare today is at risk. Not only are there not enough Swedes seeking admittance into healthcare provision education and training today. For many of Sweden's current healthcare professionals, there is an absence of the necessary incentives — in the form of salary and career development opportunities — for people to want to learn. For example, not only do nurses who wish to gain specialist training, but they also must often finance their education by themselves.
Those are just some of the healthcare issues today. Issues that resulted in me experiencing the scariest and longest minutes of my life on the night of May 31, 2015.
The accidental life saver. May 31, 2015 was when I almost lost Mia as I was holding her in my hands. Here's the story.
I was at home in Lund when Mia called me at around 2200 to ask if I could come help her — she was headed to the hospital emergency ward in Malmö. She was in pain due to a kidney stone passing. Her parents were taking her there but could not stay with her. When I got here, she was doing OK but in a lot of pain.
She told me that she had already taken two pain killers before coming to the hospital. And had been injected with two or three more after I arrived. About 10 minutes after having given the last injection, we were lying down together in the hospital bed. I was holding her when I noticed she started to drift off — high on the medicines. Then she began to have some sort of seizure.
I was still holding her when the seizure started: her body became as stiff as a board. And she stopped breathing! I began calling for help. Louder and louder. Many times in the span of a few seconds. But nobody came! So I ran out of the room to get help. As I entered the corridor screaming, I turned around to see Mia fall from the hospital bed and hit her face on the concrete floor. She fractured her eye socket. Her skin tone was blue/grey — her heart had stopped beating.
I saved Mia's life simply by bringing facts to the attention of the team of caregivers on call that night. They responded and were able to bring Mia's heart and breathing back. And then they asked me back into the room to explain what happened. I was the only source that could describe the patient condition events that transpired in that room that night! Me, a non-medical professional. Yet, all these events had occurred in an emergency room full of advanced equipment that could have been used to monitor and track her condition over every split-second of her stay. Maybe they thought these tools weren't needed? But here is the facts of the matter: Mia was given numerous injections of drugs of varying strengths and types. They were administered by staff that were too busy to monitor the patient themselves. In fact, the total time they could be aware of Mia's condition were the few seconds they were injecting her with drugs.
It all could have been avoided. And the routine I witnessed that night —overburdened emergency room staff administering heavy drugs to a patient, then leaving her without any qualified monitoring as the they work in total ignorance of that patient's condition elsewhere — should never be the routine. In fact, it's poor medical and operational practice.
All of which explains why I am in this advocacy group.


I'll be casting my vote next week in a keenly anticipated and controversial election, except I can't quite figure out why it's so anticipated or controversial. No, it's not about Trump or Clinton; the purpose of the election is to select the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences – actually one third of the board. And the rhetoric surrounding the election has become nothing if not portentous.
But should it be? I have been a voting member for many years, but here's my concern: In issuing pronouncements about building diversity and in proposing muddled changes to its voting rules, the Academy has assumed the position that it is, or should be, a lightning rod for change. The problem: it is not structured for such cosmic influence, nor has that been the mission of its membership. It has enough trouble simply mounting its annual awards show without stepping on itself.
In the best of all worlds, should the Academy aspire to become a more dynamic social force? Sure — indeed some candidates are running on that platform. But given its clumsy structure (17 branches and 54 governors) and the realities of its membership, I am skeptical that this "dynamic" is a realistic expectation.
Some background: The Academy was started 90 years ago basically as a tool for studio management to combat the rising power of labor unions. It has come a long way since then. It's even going to open a much anticipated (and delayed) museum in a couple of years that will put the achievements of Hollywood on vivid display. And the Academy will continue to expand its many educational activities and other initiatives tied in with overseas filmmakers.
In next week's voting, the Academy's 17 branches will select one third of a new board to serve three-year terms. In the directors' branch, for example, Steven Spielberg is a candidate to occupy the position formerly held by Kathryn Bigelow. Results will be announced July 21. The good news: More women and also more African Americans are running for office, but whether they will win is up to the branches – editors, special effects, set decorators, etc. To improve the odds, the Academy took it on itself to appoint three new governors, one of whom is black, one Asian and one Hispanic. Cheryl Boone Isaacs, who is black, is running for a fourth and final one-year term and likely will be re-elected.
To some members who are running, the Academy has been assuming too defensive a posture in reacting to last year's post-awards critiques. The 6,000 members of the Academy, they point out, represent working Hollywood. Most agree that this constituency is vastly too white and too male and would like to see that change, but not by institutional mandate. The same could apply to the managements of the studios, networks and supporting industries. That, too, will take time and effort.
The Academy hasn't helped itself by putting out a series of ambiguous announcements suggesting the elimination of voting rights of older, non-active members. Paradoxically, a case could be made that the members admitted in the 1960s and '70s, who might lose their voting privileges, tended to be more liberal in their thinking than those of the recent decade, but there's no study to prove that. In any event, some of the older members have become paranoid about the mixed messages. It now seems, however, as though these dicey decisions will be made branch by branch where tensions may be defused.
The upshot: In all likelihood more women, Hispanic and black governors will be elected this year. The law of averages also suggests that more minority actors will win Oscars this year (certainly the parts seem a lot juicier). Equally important, more individual Academy members are zealously working on their own to further the cause. Hawk Koch, a former Academy president (and son of a president) is reportedly developing a public service film titled If You See It, You Can Be It, which portrays the positive experience of minority workers in various Academy branches. The film, which will be partially funded by the major studios, will be circulated to schools and colleges with the aim of motivating more applicants to give filmmaking a shot. I know of several producers and filmmakers who also are actively navigating women into directing gigs – indeed, delivering jobs to them. I have somehow more faith in the effectiveness of these individual efforts than I do of the institutional ones.

Chin Farmers Who Alleged Army Torture Return to Village
By NOBEL ZAW / THE IRRAWADDY| Wednesday, October 15, 2014
RANGOON — Six ethnic Chin farmers who fled after having been arrested and allegedly tortured by the Burma Army returned to their village in Chin State's Palatwa Township last week, a local community leader said, adding that the villagers were now demanding that an army commander be replaced.
Sein Aung, of the Palatwa Ceasefire Monitoring Group, said five farmers came back on Oct. 7 and a sixth on Oct. 11, after having fled the village of Kone Pyin on Sept. 21.
Sein Aung said the villagers returned after the Ceasefire Monitoring Group met with Tactical Commander Col. Kyaw Kyaw Win, who oversees Light Infantry Unit 344 and several other units in Chin State, to get guarantees that the men would be safe from retribution by the army.
"The villagers only want to Light Infantry Unit 344 to be moved away from their township. And if so, their concerns will be gone," he added.
The Palatwa Ceasefire Monitoring Group comprises local community leaders and NGO representatives and is tasked with monitoring the implementation of the ceasefire between the CNF and the government. It follows troop movements and other conflict-related events in the area.
Chin human rights groups and one of the farmers from Palatwa have told the media that Light Infantry Unit 344 headed by Maj. Tin Htut Oo had detained six farmers for nine days in August, during which they were interrogated and severely beaten.
The men had been detained after the soldiers found out that they had offered armed Chin National Front (CNF) fighters a meal during a harvest festival in the village of Kone Pyin in August.
Shortly after they made the allegations in mid-September, five farmers were rearrested. They were held for two days and forced to sign a statement under duress stating that the beatings never happened. After their release on Sept. 21, they fled to the Burma-India border.
Tluang Ceu, general secretary of the Chin Ceasefire Monitoring Team, said he discussed the torture allegations with Col. Kyaw Kyaw Win on Oct. 10 and had demanded that Maj. Tin Htut Oo be punished.
"The colonel is preparing to take action against Maj. Tin Htut Oo but because of nature of the military [command chain], it's difficult to transfer him from the region immediately," Tluang Ceu told The Irrawaddy.
Sein Aung said, however, that the ceasefire monitoring had concluded that the CNF fighters had contributed to the situation by coming into Kone Pyin village in uniform and carrying arms, an act that had violated conditions of the bilateral ceasefire agreement between the CNF and the government that was signed in 2012.
Salai Isaac Khen, a Chin activist and executive director of Gender and Development Initiative, said the incident had occurred because the ceasefire agreement failed to set out conditions that would help protect civilians living in the conflict zone.
"This case is happened because in the ceasefire agreement there have no clear requirements for taking action when local people are affected by the Burmese military and the CNF," he said.
With the help of Chin NGOs, one of the farmers sent a letter of complaint to Burma Army Commander-in-Chief Min Aung Hlaing and the Chin State Chief Minister.

New group aims to reform Illinois state politics
By Scout on January 30, 2009
Bradley administrator appointed to committee that will improve Springfield
A new effort to clean up Illinois politics is underway, and it will have a Bradley connection.
Brad McMillan was recently appointed to serve on the Illinois Reform Commission, a 15-member committee created by Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn to reform Springfield.
"This is a really unique and rare opportunity to make significant change," McMillan, the executive director of the Institute for Principled Leadership in Public Service, said. "It can be done, it needs to be done and we need to strike while the iron's hot and the public sentiment is so strong that we need reform in Illinois."
The IRC was created by Quinn in light of the recent scandal involving Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who, among other things, is being accused of trying to sell Barack Obama's senate seat.
According to its Web site, the IRC has an ambitious goal – to supply Quinn with a written report within 100 days of Jan. 16, the day the IRC was created. The report will outline the recommendations to Quinn.
The committee is chaired by Patrick Collins, a former U.S. Attorney who tried and won the conviction of former Gov. George Ryan.
McMillan said one of the most significant actions that could be taken by the commission would be to submit a plan to reform campaign finance laws.
"We would limit the amount of money that companies, individuals and [political] parties could give to state candidates," he said.
Another possible action the IRC may take would be to submit a proposal changing the way representative districts are drawn in Illinois.
Right now, representative districts are approved by the state legislature and are often drawn to protect the incumbent politician, McMillan said.
"There is one congressman who lives in Rock Island, and his district goes down the Mississippi … goes over to Springfield and all the way to Decatur," he said. "You ask the average person, does that make sense? Is that good government? Is that the best way to represent the people? They would say absolutely not. So why do we do it?"
The commission could face some difficulties in accomplishing its goals, McMillan said.
"There are certain powers that be that will not want the status quo to change," he said. "The Democratic and Republican leadership funnels hundreds of thousands of dollars from outside state legislative districts into targeted campaigns."
They also bring in their own political people who many times put together false or misleading advertising, McMillan said.
"These outside influences are not good for the political process and does not promote good government," he said.
Political parties giving too much money to candidates is a problem, McMillan said.
Prior to coming to Bradley, McMillan worked for 10 years as then-U.S. Rep. Ray LaHood's chief of staff. He is joined on the IRC by a former managing editor of the Chicago Tribune, the president of DePaul University and the head coach of the Northwestern University football team, along with 11 other members from varying backgrounds.
Also on the IRC is the Rev. Scott Willis. Willis is the father of six children who were killed in a car accident that was eventually linked to the license-for-bribes scandal, which led to Ryan's conviction and imprisonment.
"The Illinois Reform Commission is made up of a very talented, diverse group of independent-minded people," McMillan said.
The IRC will meet every other week until April, and it will meet at Bradley on March 30. Time and location are to be announced.

Can Chinese eye exercises help prevent myopia?
BEIJING – Zhang Xinyu meticulously completes her eye exercises twice daily. Her teacher tells her they will help keep her eyesight sharp. At age 12, Xinyu has already been wearing glasses for two years.
For 49 years, the Chinese Education Ministry has required students to exercise their eyes in the name of the Communist Revolution and to combat myopia, or short-sightedness.
The prevalence of myopia, however, is skyrocketing. An estimated 80 to 90 percent of Chinese are short-sighted by the end of high school – triple the U.S. rate. Few Chinese questioned the effectiveness of the eye exercises over the past five decades – until a recent post challenging the exercises was published earlier this summer on Sina Weibo, China's widely popular answer to Twitter.
Watch an educational video about the eye exercises distributed by China's Ministry of Health in 2009.
The post ignited a firestorm online. Within a day, the post was re-tweeted more than 10,000 times and had received 1.5 million comments on Sina Weibo.
What are Chinese eye exercises?
All schools in China require students to do the exercises daily, playing familiar music over loud speakers during the workout. The Education Ministry even organizes occasional competitions to reinforce the program.
This uniquely Chinese activity dates back to 1961, when the Beijing Education Bureau noticed a sharp increase in the rate of myopia and appointed a Chinese doctor to create exercises to stop the growing problem.
It took two years to develop the exercises. Chinese students have been performing them ever since, except during the 1966-1976 Cultural Revolution, when schools were often closed.
"For the Communist Revolution, let's protect eye sight and prevent short-sightedness," was the explanation school children received for the exercises until recently.
Ministry officials declined an interview request from NBC News to explain the benefits of the exercises.
Ian Morgan, a visiting scholar at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center in Guangzhou, is even more skeptical of the Chinese routine.
There is broad consensus that China's hyper-competitive education system is a prime cause of the prevalence of myopia.
"The Chinese believe that exams and the Gaokao [the Chinese college entrance exam] decide a student's future," said Yan Yirou, the retired Education Bureau employee. "The eyesight problem is obviously from the heavy school work. In my survey for the Education Ministry, I found myopia rates were the lowest during the Cultural Revolution because no one was studying."
Chinese school children's excessive workloads have only gotten worse with time and are widely believed to be contributing to the problem.
Pressure for students to study is intense – especially since a student's Gaokao score can largely dictate his or her future career path.
Despite the prevalence of myopia and the flawed eye exercises, there appears to be no solution in sight.
"It's unlikely that either the Chinese education system or the eye exercises will change anytime soon," said Zhang Xin, chairman of the Beijing Education Association Students' Health Division.
Some recent research has shown that children who spend more time outside during daylight hours do not become short-sighted, even if they study a lot. But getting children outside is difficult when the pressure to study is so great.
Some Chinese parents are now taking their overworked children to so-called "eye exercise centers," where children can rest while masseurs do the eye exercises for them.
At only $3.50 for one treatment, the cost seems like a bargain way to combat short-sightedness for the glory of the Communist Revolution.

This Article explores issues that we, as a society, would rather not, but must, discuss. These issues include aging, how the future costs of long-term care will be paid, and what form and quality of long-term care will continue to be financed through Medicare. More specifically, this Article discusses the philosophical issues raised by the cuts, as well as the practical implications of the cuts for patients and residents. It also attempts, primarily through information about the administrative and other costs of the federal bankruptcy process, to refute government claims that these cuts have not and will not affect patient care. Part I of this Article describes the extent of the financial failure in the nursing home and home-health industries, briefly explains what funds were cut by the BBA, and briefly describes the Government's position with respect to the effects of the cuts. Because so many long-term care providers are now operating under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, Part II describes the general Chapter 11 process, the difficulty of successfully reorganizing under Chapter 11, the high direct and indirect costs of all bankruptcy proceedings, and the risks that bankruptcy poses for patients and residents. Part III discusses other risks created by the cuts, particularly the unavailability of necessary care. Part IV calls for a public discourse about our national policy with respect to both aging and funding long-term care with public funds. Ultimately this Article concludes that we left too much up to Congress, in expecting it to be able to address this complex and taboo issue.

Amazfit GTR 3 Pro, GTR 3, and GTS 3
The new Amazfit GTR 3 Pro, GTR 3, and GTS 3 have been unveiled at the ongoing IFA 2018 in Berlin. These watches are designed with a triathlon mode for air pressure monitoring and measurement of altitude, barometric pressure, temperature and humidity. The watch also has a built-in GPS module with GLONASS support that aids in tracking your workouts anywhere you go!
The non-Pro GTR 3 smartwatch has a very similar design. It uses an aluminum casing and comes in two color options: Verona Thunder Black or Beige, weighing 32g with crown button controls like their Pro model counterparts. The watch also runs on Zepp OS which offers over 150 different faces available for customization at home as well as more than 15 activity tracking modes so you can keep track of your daily activities including calories burned while sleeping! The great thing about this product is its affordable price tag versus other brands' high end watches; yet it still provides all the necessary features one might desire.
The Amazfit GTR 3 is a more budget-friendly option than its cousin, the Pro. The screen size and resolution are both smaller at 1.39" inches compared to 2".There's also 326 pixels per inch on what remains an AMOLED panel with 66% Screen-to Body ratio which can be considered impressive considering how good these numbers sound for something so inexpensive!
The Amazfit GTR 3 has a 450mAh battery, but it can last up to 21 days on one charge. This is almost double the lifespan of its more expensive sibling! The benefits are two-fold: firstly we get more time with our smartwatch thanks in part because this smaller screen doesn't need as much power; secondly there's less strain on your wrist since you're not wearing something so bulky all day long.
The Amazfit GTR 3 does not have music storage, a speaker or Wi-Fi connectivity. The lack of these things makes it impossible for this smartwatch to support Bluetooth calls and reduces the overall functionality by about 50%. At just $179 dollars with free shipping from Amazon Prime (starting in September), its price is definitely affordable enough that most people would be able to find some use out there despite those limitations!
Amazfit GTR 3 Pro
This is the highest-end smartwatch out of three. It has an aluminum body with a stylish and modern design, which makes it stand apart from other watches on the market today in more ways than one! The GTR 3 Pro comes both as Madrid Infinite Black or Brown Leather color options for users who want their timepiece to be paired perfectly according to personal preference so that every wristwear matches each individual's individual style (though there are some similarities). And despite its high price tag ($600), it still maintains 32g weight - making this gadget perfect not just aesthetically but also practically speaking too.
The GTR 3 Pro smartwatch includes a button and crown that are similar in function to those found on Apple watches. Alongside them is the microphone, which can be used for making calls via voice control or recognizing your speaking patterns using artificial intelligence-powered speech recognition technology (AI).
The Amazfit GTR 3 Pro has a 1.45-inch AMOLED display with 331 ppi (pixels per inch). This means that the screen should be sharp and vivid, which makes it perfect for viewing your favorite TV show or game while you're out running errands! The 70% screen-toitness ratio is impressive as well considering most other smart watches only have 60%.
The new Zepp smartwatch has a plethora of features that make it perfect for runners andactivity enthusiasts alike. With over 150 built-in sports modes, 24/7 stress tracking with health stats given Conn's proprietary technology platform; the interface can be customized to suit your needs thanks to more than 150 watch faces available at launch plus an option soon coming out in October 2020 where users will be able create their own custom design!
The Amazfit GTR 3 Pro is a fitness tracker that can also function as an smartwatch. It features 2GB of storage for music, with Bluetooth connectivity and Wi-Fi enabled so users don't have worry about running low on juice or pairing it up again after being away from home base all day long. The 450mAh battery should last you 12 days before needing another charge!
The Amazfit GTS 3 is the third new smartwatch from their lineup. This device has what they're calling "sports-oriented" features, and it comes in three color options: Zurich Brown (a dark wood brown), White gold with silver accents or black coated aluminum for those looking to go minimalist on style points without sacrificing durability against substances like water which can damage finish materials more easily compared to other finishes out there today such as plated chrome steel often seen on luxury watches
The company's latest offering weighs just 24g thanks its thin yet durable design made possible through high grade 6000 series Aluminium alloys construction while still maintaining a comfortingly light weight so you don't notice wearing one long term.
The screen of the Amazfit GTS 3 is 1.75 inches, making it more than just an average smartwatch for your wrist! This high resolution AMOLED panel has 341 ppi to give you razor sharp images that are never pixelated or blurry even when viewed at very close distances. What's even better? The 72% screen-to-body ratio ensures no matter how small things get on this device they'll always be clear as day (pun totally intended).
The GTR 3 is a popular choice for those who want the option to go on long runs or bike rides without sacrificing music. The sound quality of this device can be amazing thanks its built in speakers, but it lacks some features like Wi-Fi connectivity and storage space - so you'll have listen carefully! It also operates with Zepp OS which has 150 sport activity modes including 8 automatically activated ones at your disposal as well. There's no reason why someone wouldn't buy both bikes from specialized stores if they wanted one that could do everything.
The Amazfit GTS 3 is a lightweight and slim wristwatch with an impressive battery life of up to 12 days. To achieve such performance, the company had to reduce its size from previous models – in this case down by 50%! A 250mAh lithium ion polymer cell provides enough power for use while asleep or even on-the go without having worry about recharging often since it can last you longer than most other smartwatches out there; according them anyways (though we'll have our own tests soon).
The Amazfit GTS 3 is coming to the US soon, and it will start at $179.99! The watch has already been released in Europe- don't miss out on this deal while you can still grab one before they sell out like so many other great products these days do.

Lost Relics Slot
Lost Relic slot features vivid Indiana Jones imagery and you will certainly enjoy this game, especially if you fancy watching Indiana Jones films and reading Indiana Jones comics. This game uses the cluster pays engine and features a free spins bonus where you can win massive prizes.
Lost Relics Slot Review
Searching for hidden treasures is quite a common online slot theme and that's hardly surprising, because, if you think about it you'll realise that playing slots online is a lot like a quest for a hidden treasure. There are a lot of people searching for hidden treasures and the larger the treasure, the more people are looking for it and while the odds are small for an individual to find the treasure, someone will eventually manage to find it. Lost Relics slots are the latest edition to the long list of slot games with a similar theme.
Indiana Jones is by far the most popular treasure hunter, and even though he is a fictional character, he is probably a lot more famous than most of his actual 'colleagues' and that's hardly surprising considering that he was portrayed by Harrison Ford. Lost Relics slot features vivid Indiana Jones imagery and you will certainly enjoy this game, especially if you fancy watching Indiana Jones films and reading Indiana Jones comics.
Lost Relics Overview
You may think that when there are a lot of games with a similar theme it is difficult for a newly released game to get among the top ranked games, but you have to remember that Lost Relics slot is a game delivered byNetEnt, and that fact alone speaks volumes of the game's quality, as NetEnt has created some of the most refined and most playable slot games, not just in the last few years, but in general.
Lost Relics slot features advanced and distinctive graphics, and the game is particularly optimised for mobile play, so you will be able to play it on your smartphone or tablet. That doesn't mean that Lost Relics isn't available on desktop computers and laptops though, you'd be able to play it across a range of devices and operating systems.
The sounds are very clear and have a very high level of quality and they are in complete accordance with the theme, you'll almost feel like you're in a dark cave, looking for valuable lost treasures worth millions.
NetEnt generally tends to make all their new games resemble each other, so that players won't be confused and will be able to get into the gameplay immediately and that is the case with Lost Relics slot as well. The control panel is very intuitive and straightforward, as it is the case with all games by this provider.
How To Play Lost Relics Slots
This game has five reels and five rows, which is a somewhat unusual grid, as most NetEnt games feature five reels and three rows. The game is played with a minimum of 20 coins and there are no standard paylines as Lost Relics utilises the Cluster Pays engine. The cluster pays engine is one of latest inventions by NetEnt, where each cluster of symbols that appear on the reels generates a payout.
Since a cluster is needed, it doesn't matter whether the symbols are linked from the leftmost towards the rightmost reel, vice-versa, or the cluster is located somewhere in the middle, anyhow there will be a payout.
You will have a chance to adjust the stake per spin starting from a minimum of 20p per game, up to a maximum amount of £400. As you can see, the Lost Relics slot offers a wide degree of flexibility when it comes to stake rates, so you will be able to play about with the wagers, decrease and increase the amount as you please. Always try to keep your wager in accordance with your bankroll, and don't wager more than what you can afford to lose.
How To Win Lost Relics Slot
We already mentioned the cluster pays feature, and we will add that you'll need a minimum of six symbols, in a cluster, linked horizontally or vertically to get a win. There are many different symbols in Lost Relics slots, starting from card suits – hearts, clubs spades and diamonds, up to objects that are linked to the theme like helmets, snakes, bracelets and daggers. Even the cards are designed in an Ancient fashion and don't look like modern card symbols.
There is a difference in terms of how much a particular symbol pays. The card symbols pay less than the theme symbols, and if we compare different theme symbols against each other we'll see that some of them pay more than others. The bracelet and the snake are most valuable two symbols and they can pay up to 1,000 times your stake. However, for such a payout you will need 25 symbols across the reels, in a cluster. While that doesn't happen too often, it's still good to know that you might win such a high jackpot.
Lost Relics Slot Bonus Features
As it often is the case with NetEnt slots, Lost Relics features quite a few bonus games. In fact, there are five different Lost Relics bonus features. There are three separate bonuses that are triggered randomly.
- Added scatter – You are given an extra scatter symbol on a winning spin, and up to a maximum of three scatters can be awarded.
- Added wilds – Similarly to the feature above, you can get three additional wilds, on positions that aren't originally part of the winning cluster. Up to five instances of this feature can be awarded, which means you could get up to 15 different wilds.
- Added coins – You could win between three and 30 times your stake randomly and up to five instances of this feature can be added, which means that the maximum win is 150 times the total wager.
Lost Relics Free Spins
The free spins in Lost Relics slots are activated when three scatters appear during the same spin, on the first, the third and the fifth reel. You will get ten free spins and remember that the Added scatter bonus can be very helpful when it comes to activating the free spins bonus.
The hidden chest is a feature within the free spins game. You can see the chest behind the reels and getting winning combinations can award you hidden chests. There are three different sizes of chests, including a small, a normal and a big chest. They can award various prizes including additional free spins, but also cash prizes and more.
Our Lost Relics Review
Lost Relics slot is another one of NetEnt's great Cluster Pays games, where there are no standard winning combinations, but you receive a payment for each cluster of at least six symbols that are linked either horizontally or vertically.
The game has both randomly triggered bonuses as well a standard free spins bonus feature which hides a lot of surprising and winning opportunities. If you're a fan of Indiana Jones, look no further, and choose one of the online casinos featured on SlotsWise where you can play NetEnt's latest Lost Relics slot.
