Joe Biden worked Monday to convince blue-collar and middle-class voters here that Donald Trump is their enemy, not their friend and champion.
"The phrase he's most proud of: 'You're fired.' Think about the phrase: 'You're fired,' " Biden said at a rally in his hometown of Scranton, his first campaign appearance with Hillary Clinton.
"How can there be pleasure in division and 'you're fired'? And he's trying to tell us he cares about the middle class. Give me a break," he said. "Such a bunch of malarkey. It makes no sense. None, none, none, none."
Biden, who was born in Scranton, lived there as a child and still has family there, worked to eat away at Trump's support in a part of Pennsylvania that's up for grabs, particularly among white working-class voters who've responded favorably to Trump's vow to improve jobs and paychecks.
Clinton is ahead 48-37 in Pennsylvania, according to an NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll.
Clinton, he said, is a child of the middle class herself and will look out for them.
"If you live in a neighborhood like I grew up in . . . if you worry about your job, getting decent pay, if you worry about your children's education, if you're taking care of an elderly parent after losing the other one, then there's only one person in this election who will possibly help you, and that is Hillary Clinton."
With a smiling Clinton looking on, he added, "Scranton has always had my back. We and in fact, all of us, will have your back, Hillary."
But mostly, he hammered Trump as a candidate who is simply out of step with working people. He noted that Trump didn't have to climb his way up, having inherited wealth.
"Someone who had nothing and makes $1 million is a real success," he said. "Someone who inherits a million and makes $20 million, no, they're not a bum, but they're a mere success." After the audience laughed, he added, "Some are bums, but not all."
Biden and Clinton later stopped to visit Biden's boyhood home at 2446 North Washington.
He took her into the small kitchen, and recalled a family talk there about whether a neighbor going to vote Republican, something apparently controversial in the Catholic Biden family.
"Johnny's not switching," Biden recalled his aunt saying.
"How the hell would you know, Gertrude?" he said his grandfather said.
"I saw him take communion this morning," she said.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll last week showed Clinton ahead by large margins in parts of Pennsylvania, leading Trump 71-19 in Philadelphia, 52-26 in the Philadelphia suburbs, and 53-36 in western Pennsylvania.
The poll found her trailing 31-53 in central Pennsylvania and virtually tied, 42-41 in northeastern Pennsylvania, which includes Scranton. That makes Biden's pitch important in cementing her already large statewide lead of 48-37, with a goal of shutting down Trump's path to the White House.

Walter Beers (USA)
Supervisor: Neil McLynn
'The payment programme of Cyril of Alexandria'
'Sericulture and raw silk supply in the East Roman Empire, c. 552-755'
In addition to writing my degree's two required research papers, I spent my year in Oxford taking two papers in Syriac language and literature with David Taylor, as well as taking coursework in classical Armenian and early Armenian literature, late antique and Byzantine architecture and archaeology, and late antique history and religion.
My first paper, on Cyril of Alexandria, developed out of my earlier interests in ecclesiastical politics influenced by much illuminating time spent with Neil McLynn. My second paper, on the late Roman/early Byzantine silk trade – written under the expert guidance of James Howard-Johnston – resulted in a broadening of my horizons towards central and east Asia, and a growing interest in trans-Asian trade, technological exchange, and cultural contact.
In September 2014 I entered the Ph.D. programme in History at Princeton University; in the coming two years while I prepare for my general exams I hope to return to the topic of the Byzantine silk trade as well as to my other interests in frontier studies, ecclesiastical politics and religious conflict, identity and integration, and the 5th century east Roman Leonid dynasty.
I returned to Oxford in January 2015 for a conference on Syriac intellectual culture in late antiquity, sponsored and hosted by the Ertegun Programme, co-organized with fellow scholar Jeremiah Coogan.

The A-Z of yours truly!
A - Alex. I get so sick of "Why do you go by Alex?" (My name is Patricia Alexandra) UM... BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MY PARENTS CALLED ME! It was their decision. I was always Alex. There's no rule against calling someone their middle name. Rant over.
B - Boring. I consider myself a pretty boring person. I like quiet, simple things, and I'm pretty happy with that. I definitely do live an adventurous life, but adventures can be small too!
C - Cat. I am a cat. (Both personality wise and according to the zodiac...) but my favorite creature in the world is my cat.
D - Dress up. I like pinup for several reasons, but one is because day to day I feel pretty 'meh' and pinup takes you from 'meh' to BOOM! I clean up pretty good once you get the dirt off me.
E - Eowyn. A close friend compared me to her many years ago and after giving it, and myself, a lot of thought over the years, I'd say I come pretty damned close to being a redheaded version of her. Capable leader, fierce warrior, kindhearted diplomat and matriarch...yes, I'll lead Rohan now thank you.
F - Friend. I think that I have the potential to be a very supportive friend and it's one area where I've never had doubts about myself. In recent years this has strengthened due to my resolve to work on it. I can't be a good daughter, or a good mother, or a good sister, so I can be a damn good friend.
G - Gryningen. My favorite Swedish word! (It means dawn) I first heard it in a wonderful little song which states "shadows can disappear, and dandelions turn up their seeds to grow up at dawn"
H - Hair. True to whatever the Leo stereotype is, I obsess over, take care of, love my hair. I would never cut it.
I - Insanity. I think it runs in my family. No...no, I'm pretty damned sure it does.
J - Jou. Ik hou van jou. (Voor iemand speciaal) ;)
K - Kitty. My first cat, my first love. He is a wonderful companion and friend.
L - Loner. Always me. Always has been, always will be. I am just a lonely person.
M - Mom. Losing my mom changed me in ways I didn't think I could even be changed. And it actually made me a better person, and I will always lament that it took something so drastic to put me on a different path and mindset.
N - Norma Bates, as played by Vera Farmiga--AMAZING!!!!! That whole show is my favorite. It is probably the best thing on TV.
O - Odin. I've come, in recent weeks, to really take inspiration from this insanely awesome figure. He killed himself to gain ultimate knowledge, he has two ravens and I mean come on, who doesn't want two ravens? Stories about Odin either inspire me or crack me up (or both) so you can't go wrong with that kind of role model.
P - Piano. Not many people know it but I can carry quite a few tunes on the piano. If only I had one here with me.
Q - Quiche. Because this meme cracks me up so hard.
R - Resident Evil 4 - AMAZING game, gorgeous atmosphere and visuals, best characters (minus Ashley....) just wow, what an experience for a new gamer! And still probably the scariest game I've ever played.
S - Spock. My first idol, the one who taught me about logic and reasoning and how to be calm and intelligent so that you can help any situation! Also, killer eyebrows.
T - Teaching. It means SO much to me. And I'm good at it! I love especially teaching art, and EMS related topics.
U - Underwear. 99.999999999999% of the time I go commando. TMI, sorry!
V - Vegas. A city I'd contemplate moving to if I ever needed to get away. I do love it there.
W - Worley. I am so proud of my last name (even though it isn't the original last name of my paternal line) and I never intend to give it up, even if Till married me! I wouldn't even hyphenate.
X - Haha. Uhhh. I have never watched XXX!!! Even though, speaking of Rammstein.....Till's in it.
Y - Yesterday. We had a joke with Carl, who pronounced y's like j's in true Swedish spirit, that we sang "Jesterday". He got so mad one day that he ranted in Swedish all the way to the bus stop or wherever we were rambling to. Oh man.
Z - Zelda, my first and biggest video game influence. Ocarina of Time will always be the top most perfect game ever made, and it pains me to say that something beats out RE4!!!
And now, time for the linkup!

Peek-A-Boo Lake Trail is a 3.7 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Darrington, Washington that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is best used from July until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
kid friendly
From Everett, E on Highway 530 to Darrington for 32 miles. Right on Mountain Loop Highway (FSR 20) for 9.2 miles. Right on FSR 2080 for 1.1 miles. Right on FSR 2081 for 3.4 miles. Left at fork on FSR 2086 for 1.2 miles to roadblock. Park here.
Awesome sauce, if you like a good hike and don't mind walking up a few miles of forest road to the trailhead then this place is awesome.
Didn't read the reviews before hand, my bad, listen to the one below this. Road is COMPLETELY washed out, there is no way around and it's 2 miles before the trail head.
Big washout 2 miles from the trailhead.
I took my three kids up to the lake. The trail was mostly switch backs up until the last half mile or so. At the top there was an awesome meadow with a great lookout over the valley. Finally a steep jaunt down to the lake. The bugs were not too bad however my daughter and I got stung a couple times by hornets on the trail. There was a nice open campsite with a small rocky beach. The lake was clear and cold. We caught a few 10 inch rainbows over two days. We walked to the far side of the lake past the outlet and fishing was better over there. You could see the trout swimming. However our second night it started pouring. We stayed dry but headed out early the next morning. I would grade this hike as moderate due to the steepness but that might be because I had to carry extra gear for my kids.

A former registered rep with HSBC Securities was ejected from the industry last week for failing to cooperate with an investigation into allegations that she stole money from a retail bank customer, according to a FINRA filing.
Emily S. Pao, who worked for HSBC in San Gabriel, Calif., was discharged from the firm in June 2015 for allegedly taking a check that was mailed to the customer, signing it, and depositing it into her own account with the intent of providing the funds to the customer. The funds, however, were never returned.
FINRA did not disclose how much money was at issue.
According to Pao's BrokerCheck report, the internal investigation by HSBC was triggered when the customer raised questions regarding a business banking account. The investigation revealed that the bank closed the account for inactivity and mailed the funds to the customer. BrokerCheck noted that Pao had access to the customer's mail.
Pao joined HSBC in September 2012. She had worked in the securities industry since 1996, according to FINRA.
Pao refused FINRA's request to appear for the on-the-record testimony, a violation that automatically leads to getting barred.
Pao did not respond to an email sent to her via BrightScope Advisor Pages, an online directory of financial advisors. She could not otherwise be reached for comment. In her settlement with FINRA, Pao neither admitted nor denied the allegations, but consented to an entry of FINRA's findings.
Rob Sherman, a spokesperson for HSBC in New York, declined to comment.

An improvement on existing technology using varying attributes of other products and design. Has wider applicability for value across other industries. Such product development and design should be applauded.
The Trane Series E CenTraVac water chiller from the industrial company Ingersoll Rand is a large capacity unit that produces chilled water for commercial and industrial applications worldwide. New legislation in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia requires the use of products with refrigerants that dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Series E chiller was designed to help customers meet these requirements for large chilled water applications, while delivering improved efficiency, at both the unit and system level.
The Series E chiller uses a new low pressure, non-flammable refrigerant called R-1233zd(E), which has an ultra-low global warming potential of less than 1 and enables best-in-class efficiency, according to Ingersoll Rand. This reduces impacts to the environment, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to current chiller designs. The refrigerant also enables the use of a direct drive centrifugal compressor with refrigerant economizer to exceed other chiller offerings by over 10% in overall unit efficiency.
The direct drive, multi-stage centrifugal compressor enables a wide operating range so the chiller can be utilized for comfort and industrial cooling as well as system designs like thermal storage or heat recovery, further reducing overall energy usage. In addition, the design eliminates almost all risk of refrigerant leakage because the chiller operates in a vacuum.
A versatile design means the chiller can meet the need for standard cooling as well as for energy-saving system options like thermal storage or heat recovery, which are becoming more common with power plant infrastructures that leverage photovoltaics and wind turbines.
The Series E chiller has earned product-specific Type III Environmental Product Declaration registration, which provides third party verification of its environmental impacts by Underwriters Laboratories in accordance with ISO 14025. A life cycle assessment of the Series E chiller considered all phases of an expected 25-year service life from upstream production of raw materials to the final recycling and disposal of the unit at the end of its service life.
Two high-profile government projects have used the chiller to meet their sustainability objectives without compromising efficiency and system requirements: Venice's Marco Polo Airport Expansion and France's Eurotunnel Chiller Plant. In both cases, local government agencies evaluated other chiller options with low-GWP refrigerants, but none met the low life cycle costs needed for the projects, Ingersoll Rand says.

This morning I was presented with an image that I think is one of the finest pieces of science communication regarding climate change I think I've ever seen:
I would urge you to stop and examine that image for a few seconds to fully appreciate what it says.
Note in particular the words lurking over there on the right: "At the last ice age, it was around here." The difference from there up to the mean global average (~14°C) is only about 5°C. Such a change can happen in a single year, as the BBC's Climate Wars points out happened at the end of the last ice age.
In retrospect, it's blindingly obvious that the problem all along, the reason why we haven't shouted louder for action, has been that the numbers have been misinterpreted by far too many as 'trivially small' when in fact they are 'hugely significant'.
We naturally internalise temperature changes in terms of our own experiences from day to day in the outside world. But this isn't weather we're talking about, it's climate. The numbers here are only an average (and if you don't appreciate what an 'average' is, that's a horse of an entirely different kettle of fish, and I can only recommend that you spend some time at Khan Academy).
Even though I've been looking into the issue of anthropogenic global warming myself for years now, it wasn't until I saw the image above that the point was fully driven home to me. For the last ten thousand years, humanity has been coddled by a stable climate, and we're paying it back by poking it with a sharp stick.
There are two other things that I think that even those expert in the field talking about the issue don't seem to appreciate.
- One is the fairly obvious point that when someone says something like "it's highly unlikely that we'll be able to keep global warming below 2 degrees", they often leave out the crucial word 'celcius', which makes the number seem less important to a great many to whom it matters most (Americans, who think in Fahrenheit).
- The second point is that when they talk about the globe warming by, say, 2°C, the implication is that that's the upper limit of the change we can expect — when that is far from the truth. Whatever change we are likely to see in our lifetimes is only the beginning of humanity's legacy.
Moth over on New Anthropocene — from where I stole the above image (thanks, Moth) — makes the point well: That's No Small Change in the Temperature Anomaly!

In my dreams my mother sees me in my wedding dress. Not at the church, for even I can't dream that well. But at the hospital where I sweep through two locked doors with buzzing intercoms, past the bright paintings and comfortable chairs. Past the grates that cover the windows. Past the walls that separate those of us who have voices, from those of us who hear them.
In my dreams I cradle the dress before my mother. I consider its weight, comment on its girth, worry that it will wrinkle before the appointed hour. She tells me to hang it in the bathroom on the morning of the wedding and turn on the hot water so that the steam will erase the marks. I think to myself, I wonder if that works on people, too?
My mother has been marked by life, and where drugs, psychotherapy and faith have failed to erase anything but parts of her memory, perhaps steam cleaning would at least remove the lines that etch her face with folds of sorrow.
But in this dream my mother's happy. Happy to see me, happy to share in my celebration if even from a distance. Happy for the fuss in a place where fuss usually means codes or carts or the loss of something precious and dear. Happy for a happy moment in a place that has so few.
"I can't wait to see you in it," my mother says to me in this dream. And I giggle at the thought because I can't wait, either. But first, my husband-to-be must get dressed in his tux, for what is a bride without a groom? And my sister must slip on her bridesmaid dress, for what is a bride without an entourage? And my best friend must set up the boom box so we can play some music, for what is a wedding without a dance? And the nurses must gather all the residents of the ward, for what is such a day without witnesses to whom a mother can brag?

Mother Teresa
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopj, Macedonia, on August 26, 1910. Her family was of Albanian descent. At the age of twelve, she felt strongly the call of God. She knew she had to be a missionary to spread the love of Christ. At the age of eighteen she left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India. After a few months' training in Dublin she was sent to India, where on May 24, 1931, she took her initial vows as a nun. From 1931 to 1948 Mother Teresa taught at St. Mary's High School in Calcutta, but the suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent walls made such a deep impression on her that in 1948 she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta. Although she had no funds, she depended on Divine Providence, and started an open-air school for slum children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and financial support was also forthcoming. This made it possible for her to extend the scope of her work.
On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Holy See to start her own order, "The Missionaries of Charity", whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965 the Society became an International Religious Family by a decree of Pope Paul VI.
Today the order comprises Active and Contemplative branches of Sisters and Brothers in many countries. In 1963 both the Contemplative branch of the Sisters and the Active branch of the Brothers was founded. In 1979 the Contemplative branch of the Brothers was added, and in 1984 the Priest branch was established.
The Society of Missionaries has spread all over the world, including the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. They provide effective help to the poorest of the poor in a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and they undertake relief work in the wake of natural catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and famine, and for refugees. The order also has houses in North America, Europe and Australia, where they take care of the shut-ins, alcoholics, homeless, and AIDS sufferers.
The Missionaries of Charity throughout the world are aided and assisted by Co-Workers who became an official International Association on March 29, 1969. By the 1990s there were over one million Co-Workers in more than 40 countries. Along with the Co-Workers, the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa's spirit and charism in their families.
Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.

Quotes by Mother Teresa
- Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
- Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
- Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.
- Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
- Good works are links that form a chain of love.
- I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
- If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
- It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
- Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
- Peace begins with a smile.

"...the lab equipment is missing. A heavy, cloying smell chokes us as we enter the room."
It's 1922 and the school year has just begun at Waite College, a women's institute just outside of Arkham, and peculiar events are happening all over campus. The sister school to the infamous Miskatonic University, Waite is no stranger to unusual stories about men going mad or missing. But for the first time evil appears to have crept into their dormitories and offices, to the horror of faculty and students alike.
Consisting of found documents including journal entries, incident reports, evaluations, official memos, and graffitied messages, Waite Community Announcements will trace the events leading up to the school's mass disappearances in 1923--which to this day historians do not quite understand.
20% of the proceeds from subscriptions will be donated to Sweet Briar College, recently saved from closure in June 2015.

You know the deal: you want to get out of town for the weekend, but you're working until late on Friday, and that rules out most city breaks, and most of the UK. The answer to your problems is here, and it's called Wilderness Reserve. It's a private country retreat without the long journey: think log fires, leisurely walks and listed buildings, less than 2 hours away from the capital. UJ spent a relaxing weekend in their newest property, The Walled Garden, and here's the lowdown.
The Accommodation
Wilderness Reserve itself spans a 4,500 acre estate in Suffolk, with a variety of converted cottages, barns, and country estates to rent, depending on the size of your party. The main event is a Grade II listed Georgian manor; with 12 bedrooms, a private cinema, a games room and a gym, you pretty much won't have time to settle in and read that book you bought. On the other side of the spectrum you've got Hex cottage: a secluded former forester's cottage for built for two. It's back to basics here, with no electricity, no WiFi (unless you want it), a wood burning stove and a private herb garden.
We stayed in the Walled Garden, a modernist glasshouse situated within the estate's restored Victorian garden. Comprised of three interlinking glass houses and a central dining hall (complete with vaulted ceiling and dual fireplaces), it's the ideal mix of contemporary and traditional. The Walled Garden has eight doubles, all en suite (as soon as we dropped our bags and saw the roll-top tubs, all we wanted to do was have a bath). The layout feels very modern, and the place is flooded with light at most points of the day. There's the central glasshouse which plays host to the kitchen, and two smaller wings which house the games room and the cinema room. All three glasshouses overlook the one-acre garden, which has been restored with the original victorian planting scheme.
The Food
Normally a country retreat means either booking B&B and losing that communal vibe, or opting for an Airbnb and self-catering. This is where Wilderness Reserve comes into its own. They have their own team of chefs and suppliers on hand to cook for you throughout your stay, complete with waiting staff. You can choose to go solo if you want, but this is the option we'd recommend; UJ felt very Downton being served eggs at the feasting table in the AM. You're also welcome to bring your own wine, but just in case you arrive unprepared, the Reserve has you covered with a diverse list from their cellar.
The Estate
One of the big draws of this place is its surroundings. You're free to roam! If it's R&R you're after, spend an afternoon boating on the lake, take a dip in the heated outdoor pool, or book a wine tasting with the estate's resident expert. If you want to stretch your legs a bit more, there's clay pigeon shooting, archery and tennis, or you can grab one of the estate's complimentary Pashley bikes and explore the grounds. And this is all just within the estate.
The Lowdown
When it comes to country retreats, this is pretty much the ultimate. You know the idyllic scenes you picture when you THINK of a weekend away in the country? Wilderness Reserve is all of those. It's tranquil but not boring, it's rural without being deserted, and it's the perfect mix of country getaway and contemporary bolthole.

Sleeplessly Singing the Blues
What an incredible joy and a blessing to be gifted with a child. There are so many precious moments and 'pinnacles' in parenting. However, it seems to me that being at home with a new baby can often be a challenging time for many women. The transition from working woman to stay at home mother can be a difficult adjustment for many. I feel for first time mothers. For many women, a common post-natal theme that emerges is that of 'This isn't what I expected.' Often parenting is more messy, demanding and difficult than we ever anticipated (as well as being joy-filled and fulfilling). We foresee that we are going to pop out a baby and carry on with our life regardless, not realizing that it is motherhood that changes our life totally, and is in itself, the most demanding job.
These days the expectant or new parent is initiated with an influx of information, conflicting advice and theories. Furthermore, when you are expecting a baby or you have a young child, don't people just love to be forthright with their opinions and advice. Should one have a natural birth or a medicated one? Breast feeding or bottle feeding? Sleep training or co-sleeping? Just to name a few. And there are strong opinions in both camps. But I wonder whether the reception of conflicting information is all that helpful? It's been said that parents are less prepared for parenthood these days, despite all the expert advice readily available. And many new mothers find it difficult to trust their instincts. I know that I did. I had worked with children, but like many parents these days, I hadn't had much experience with babies or toddlers until I had my own child, other than a little baby sitting here and there. And it probably wasn't until my second child was born that I developed more confidence and learned to fully trust my instincts.
Recently I perused an article about post-natal depression (PND). The premise of the article is that PND seems to be more common in modern times. It's possible that today there is more awareness of PND and other mental health issues, as well as better access to screening and services. Like most mothers, I've had some challenging times since becoming a parent. And in retrospect. I wonder whether I had a touch of mild PND after one of my children. But no one knew about it. I don't even know that I fully recognized it. One can't be objective on oneself. I could function, but I just wasn't quite right. I knew that I couldn't sleep. I surely had post-natal insomnia. A sleeplessness not caused by the baby but a general inability to get to sleep. It was awful. I didn't feel sad, and I enjoyed my baby. But it was the sleeplessness that led me to finally seek help after suffering in silence for months. Thankfully I recovered quickly. Whether I had a mild dose of PND or not, a family history of depression, a husband working long hours (yet who was still very supportive), no family in town and two children under two, I was a sitting duck for it.
Many mothers have down days, but how does one determine whether it is just a few down days or whether it is post-natal depression? Mental health is a continuum. And recovery from any episode of depression is always inconsistent because of a myriad of different factors. It is worth noting however, that the postpartum period has its own set of additional and unique demands. For example, sleeplessness, hormonal influences, the constant needs of other children, the busyness of family life and the feeling of being unable to control things around us.
Postnatal depression can affect women in different ways. And it is common. Studies mainly from the developed world indicate that it is present in 10-15% of women who give birth. That means that PND is very common. And this is only the cases that are documented. Many people remain undiagnosed.
But what are the symptoms of PND?
Symptoms can start soon after giving birth and last for months or, in severe cases, they can persist for more than a year. The main symptoms of postnatal depression are:
- a persistent feeling of sadness and low mood
- loss of interest in the world around you and no longer enjoying things that used to give pleasure
- lack of energy and feeling tired all the time
- disturbed sleep, such as having trouble sleeping during the night and then being sleepy during the day
- difficulties with concentration and making decisions
- low self-confidence
- poor appetite or an increase in appetite
- feeling very agitated or, alternatively, very apathetic
- feelings of guilt and self-blame
- thinking about harming onself or one's child, or contemplating suicide.
The jury isn't unanimous as to what causes postnatal depression. But most researchers believe it's the result of a combination of factors.
Who's at risk?
Factors that can increase your risk of experiencing postnatal depression include having:
- A family history of depression or postnatal depression. Genetics appears to play a role in both of these conditions.
- A personal history of depression, postnatal depression or other mood disorders, including depression or anxiety during pregnancy.
- Experiencing complications during pregnancy (ie, gestational diabetes).
- A difficult or traumatic delivery.
- Physical health problems following the birth, such as difficulty breast feeding.
- Being a first time mother. However, having two or more children also puts you at risk for PND.
- Being a younger mother.
- Being a victim of domestic violence.
- A lack of perceived social or family support.
- Relationship worries.
- Money problems.
- Physical health problems following the birth, such as difficulty breast feeding.
Even if you had a text book labour and birth, having a baby can be a stressful and life-changing event that can sometimes trigger depression. People often assume they'll naturally take to parenthood like a duck to water. However, it can take months before you begin to cope with the pressures of being a new parent. Sometimes it can also take years to develop confidence as a parent. This is true even for those who already have children. And some babies are easier than others. Some assume that it is only mothers than have 'difficult', fussy or colicky infants that develop PND. But this isn't so. A mother can develop PND even if she has a 'dream baby.'
Is it the hormones?
It was once thought that changes in hormone levels during and after pregnancy were the sole cause of postnatal depression. This is no longer thought to be the case, although changes in hormone levels may still play a role. One theory is that some women are more sensitive to the effects of falling hormone levels after they've given birth. All mothers will experience hormonal changes but only some mothers will be affected emotionally.
Postnatal depression can also affect men. A 2011 study found that like mothers, around one in 10 fathers experienced after the birth of their child. Having a baby can be stressful for both parents, and some fathers feel unable to cope.
Seeking help for postnatal depression doesn't mean you're a bad mother (or father) or that you are unable to cope. It is important to seek help, as when postnatal depression is untreated it is associated with adverse effects on the infant, especially if the mother is unable to engage with the baby.
But, it's not all black and white.
What are some other factors that increase the likelihood of developing post-natal distress or depression? A friend who suffered severe post-natal depression after her second child, feels that there is so much judgment placed on parents today, and that mothers in particular feel that they cannot meet the expectations of those around them. Furthermore, she also feels that many mothers carry a burden that would be best shared by wider family.
It seems that parents, and mothers in particular, are judged if they do and judged if they don't. A prime example of this is the popular debate over work outside the home. I read a research article recently that stated that many stay at home parents are more likely to be depressed than working parents. It doesn't surprise me, although most of the time I've enjoyed being at home with my children. I have however, grappled with the loss of a career, and the isolation and lack of mental stimulation that accompanies caring for young children fulltime. Furthermore, today women are expected to do everything, and although we have many more opportunities, there are perhaps more pressures. No one person can do it all. I've always thought that the 'mommy wars' were not particularly helpful when you consider that all mothers are working mothers, and that every family has different circumstances. Parenting can be challenging enough without the 'mommy wars'. Some coffee groups can be fairly competitive and sadly mothers can be hard on one another. But what would our world look like if mothers were able to be more supportive and respectful of one another's choices? But when did being a fulltime parent become so devalued and disrespected? Perhaps that is one reason why depression may be more common in fulltime mothers, as well as the financial strain that being on one income places on some families. And mothers don't just feud over the issue of work. I've often observed a divide between 'younger mothers' and 'older mothers' with both groups labelling each other with unhelpful stereotypes and hurtful generalisations. Younger mothers are not always struggling financially, frustrated because they have missed out on a career or partying with friends. Nor are older mothers always exhausted.
Many of the older generation express the belief that parenting seems to be harder these days. Does this contribute to post-natal distress? Some of the pressure placed on families today is perhaps economic. In this difficult economy the cost of living is increasing and just to pay basic bills and a mortgage on a modest home, two incomes are often required. And women have felt the need in these modern times to reclaim home making as a valuable occupation. However, one criticism of the trend towards 1950′s style home making so popular on sites like Pinterest is that it adds to the burdens of women.
There is research for everything, and there is literature to demonstrate that modern parents may experience significant daily stress related to the busyness of life. The more children one has, the busier life seems to become. Some busyness is unavoidable in life, there is the 24-7 needs of young children and their myriad of different activities, a relationship to maintain, a household to manage, a garden, perhaps a job with ever increasing demands and expectations. Perhaps there are aging parents to care for, not to mention time for seeing friends, hobbies and keeping fit. But some busyness can often result from what we choose to put our hand up for. And is there any honour in being busy? I've had to learn to say no and to move beyond people pleasing.
Many people are parenting in isolation these days. A supportive community of friends is wonderful and I'm very grateful for the supportive friends that I have. However they are functioning at almost full capacity with young families themselves, and it is not the same as having biological family on hand (providing they are supportive). My family are wonderfully supportive from a distance and thankfully we live in an age of technology and skype. But if it takes a village to raise a child, then where is the village?
Then there are some that aim to professionalize motherhood. Perhaps this is because motherhood is sadly seen as a low status occupation in our society. And while you are doing the most important work of your lifetime when you are going about the daily aspects of childcare, it can be difficult to see the small yet significant areas that one is achieving in. But I wonder whether a danger of professionalizing motherhood is that it may put one at risk of depression. It seems to me that women with perfectionistic tendencies may be sitting ducks for post-natal depression and anxiety. Life with children seems to be easier when one can relax and go with the flow, which is not easy for those individuals who may be used to being in a predictable job or profession that is structured and orderly, and one that has given the individual a sense of achievement. Nurturing your child is the most rewarding yet challenging and important job there is. Just consistently caring for one's infant affects the architecture of the brain, providing the building blocks. I'm not just changing a nappy, I'm having an interaction with my infant that is fostering a secure attachment and setting her up for a life of learning and emotional health.
It seems that society often places unrealistic expectations on mothers of young children, and in response to this it can be a challenge to live counter-culturally. I once read the advice of someone in a magazine which really resonated with me. He suggested that until your child turns three, meeting their basic needs, cooking the dinner and doing the washing is a fulltime job. Anything else is extra. But most of us do more than those basics. There are many additional expectations placed on mothers, and some expectations are those that we put on ourselves.
I've learned to stop comparing myself with others and to have more realistic expectations of myself and others. Parents of young children can feel like they have to be perfect, but guess what? No one is a perfect parent. We all make mistakes and perhaps we need to be more vulnerable with one another and open about our failings, in order to normalize normal parenthood. And we all know that supermum doesn't exist.
How can we support those who may be suffering from distress in the post-partum period?
I'm passionate about raising awareness of PND. It;s an area I'd love to research or work in. Interestingly, it's not just mothers of newborns who develop depression. Parents of young children (under five) are also at risk of depression. My family doctor tells me that she sees depression in parents of young-ish children all the time. Mothers who haven't had PND or any experience of depression themselves or in someone close to them, may struggle to understand. And that's ok. But we can all learn some do's and don'ts when supporting someone who is suffering. Don't say to the person 'Get over it'. Just like asthma or arthritis, depression is not something that someone can snap out of. Many heroes of the Christian faith, suffered with depression. Consider Elijah, the apostle Paul, Jeremiah. Don't give advice, even if you have been there, but do encourage the person to seek professional help earlier rather than later. There are many evidence based effective treatments for post-natal depression. Anti-depressant medication and cognitive behavioural therapy can be beneficial. Exercise, good nutrition and baby wearing can also help (see my post on baby wearing). Attending a support group or sraft group may also be therapeutic. Do offer to help them with practical tasks such as meal preparation or laundry. Offer to help with baby sitting. Be there, listen attentively and maybe offer to pray. Encourage the person that:

Magento Commerce is the leading provider of open omnichannel innovation. Its an open source, cloud-based digital commerce platform and omnichannel solution which empowers merchants to integrate digital and physical shopping experiences. Built for rapid innovation, the platform combines rich, out-of-the-box functionality with powerful business tools. This customizable platform seamlessly integrates with third-party solutions, can be deployed in any environment, and is backed by a vast network of commerce experts ready to help you.
The client has an existing ERP/CRM system with multiple physical stores. The objective is to explain to the client flow between the various enterprise systems - ERP, CRM, Magento 2 Enterprise Edition - and the external vendor modules. The client particularly stressed on explaining how manual orders (phone orders), external marketplaces will affect this system and "store pickup" will be handled.
Draw a system flow diagram explaining how the existing enterprise systems that the client has, will work with the Magento 2 Enterprise software The diagram will highlight the data flow direction and the various points where external services will be used.
The existing ERP system of the client will be the heart of the project. Catalog Data, Pricing, Tax, Shipping Rates, Inventory, Orders and Customers are all consolidated and managed here.
Customers who have placed an order via the Magento portal (either through the front end or via phone order) can see the orders and updates made to orders via the ERP system when they login into their account on the store. Orders placed in any other way (like Marketplaces, Retail) cannot been seen via the Magento system.
The existing ERP will communicate directly to the existing CRM system via connectors appropriate for the software. Magento will send customer data to the ERP system (using the an extension like mentioned above via XML or JSON) and the ERP will then, send the data to the CRM. There will be do direct communication between the CRM & Magento.
Many ERP systems have the CRM system built in as a sub-system. If this is true with the client's ERP software then, a separate connector is not required.
Inventory is managed by the ERP system for the POS, Marketplace & Magento. It is preferable that the logic of warehouse selection lies within the ERP system since, multiple POS will connect into it. Stock updates can be sent periodically or in real-time depending on the client requirement.
Point of Sale systems will communicate with the ERP system for catalog data, pricing, tax & order management. There will be no direct communication between Magento 2 and the POS or Marketplaces.
Phone orders can be handled via the Magento Admin area. An authorized user will login into the Magento Admin area and place the order – whether new or existing customer. Hence, the normal Magento 2 flow and inventory management will apply here.
'Store Pickup' can be a shipping method in Magento. Normal Magento order flow and Invoice will be closed after pickup. Hence, inventory management will also be done as usual via Magento.
Magento 2 EE supports both ElasticSearch & Solr. Remember you have to install Apache Solr first on your server before you can configure your Magento shop for it. They are encouraging new merchants to choose ElasticSearch over Solr.
OOTB Magento 2 has USPS, UPS, FedEx & DHL configured and will allow you to setup shipping rates, shipping label workflow and enter tracking numbers. If, you have any other carrier you will need to install a ready 3rd party module or custom develop it.
Magento 2 is structured in the form of Website > Stores > Views. This structure allows you to have multiple Website-Store-View combinations to create different user experiences. This structure also supports multi-currency, multi-language. Magento extensions can be used to automatically redirect customers to a region based website based on their IP. Magento 2 is capable to handle US based tax rules out of the box. In case of special tax rules you may need to install an extension.
MailChimp + Mandrill is the perfect combination for sending emails. While MailChimp is an Email Marketing Service Mandrill is an Email Service Provider. The MageMonkey Magento extension is a free extension that lets you configure MailChimp + Mandrill with your Magento store to send transactional and promotional emails. This combination can also be integrated with the CRM to send promotional emails outside Magento.
Magento 2 provides most of the common features needed to attract and engage customers, increase the average order, and to build loyalty and advocacy.
These features can be easily added to Magento 2 using extensions:
With the system flow diagram & documentation, the client gets a clear picture of how the data will flow between the various systems and the external services required to meet the client requirements. With this clear picture in mind then, can safely move into the detailed planning phase before starting the implementation & development.

We will work with winning party says chemical industry chief
Steve Elliott
By Grimsby Telegraph | Posted: 30 May 2017
WHATEVER the colour of the rosette, chemical industry leaders have urged the next Government to work in partnership with the sector.
Only by doing this, can growth happen in all parts of the UK, according to the representatives.
The sector, a major element of the Humber's economy as Britain's second largest cluster, spends £5 billion annually on research and development, invests £4 billion per year on capital assets and has a total workforce of around half a million people.
The 'manifesto' of Britain's chemical and pharmaceutical industry published by the Chemical Industries Association calls for action across a range of policy areas such as industrial strategy, energy, climate change, skills, trade, science and innovation and employment.
There is also a demand for action on the regulatory environment including keeping existing European regulations to maintain world class standards.
Steve Elliott, chief executive of the association, and a guest at Catch's annual dinner earlier this month, said: "Our manifesto represents our full range of policy work and on-going discussions with political parties.
"Our theme confirms that our industry wants to work with the new Government as well as politicians of all parties.
"We will be using the document to meet with Government and the Opposition after the General Election as well as talking to all the parties during the campaign."
The chief executive of the association added: "Brexit is of course an issue but there is so much more we need Government to address through an effective industrial strategy in order to deliver growth in all parts of the UK."

Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon
Situated at the heart of Zona Sul and all but completely separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the upscale district of Ipanema, Rodrigo de Freitas Lake has been among Rio's most distinguishing natural landmarks since the city was first established in the 16th century. In the shadow of Corcovado and covering nearly a square mile in surface area, the lagoon lends its name to the adjacent garden district of Lagoa and serves as a recreational area and beauty spot for local residents, with nearly 3 miles of bike and jogging trails, boathouses for rowing, and several exclusive social clubs located along the edge of the lagoon.
Named for a young Portuguese army official who lived in the area in the early 1700s, the history behind the glassy lagoon wasn't always placid. The first Portuguese settler in the area, Rio governor Antonio Salema, slaughtered the indigenous Temoio Indians with smallpox-infected clothing when he arrived on the scene in 1575 to build a sugar mill.

Date: December 7, 3pm, GSSI Room B
Speaker: Dr. Andre B. Bondi
Title: Predicting the Time to Migration into Deadlock for a Performance Antipattern Using a Discrete Time Markov Chain
Abstract: When processes join a common FCFS queue to acquire or release resources in an object pool of fixed size, deadlock occurs if the process at the head of the queue wishes to acquire a resource when the pool is empty, even if a process wishing to relinquish a resource is queued behind. This scenario has been called the Museum Checkroom antipattern. We describe a state machine representation of this problem. We use the representation to develop a discrete time Markov chain analysis to identify the load conditions under which deadlock is most likely to occur and how soon it is likely to occur. The analysis shows that deadlock is inevitable regardless of the load, and that the time to the onset of deadlock depends on combinations of the request rate for resources in pool, the average holding time of the resources, and the number of resources in the pool. We verify the intuition that deadlock will occur sooner at heavy loads or when the resource pool is small. A connection will be made between this problem and random walks with a single absorbing and a single reflecting barrier. Interesting numerical properties of the analysis will be illustrated. It will be shown that these can be anticipated from the structure of the problem.
Bio: Dr. Bondi is spending the fall 2016 semester as a Visiting Professor in DSIM at the University of L'Aquila. He has considerable industrial experience in R&D and consulting environments. He spent many years at AT&T (Bell) Labs and Siemens Corporate Technology. In between, he held senior performance positions at two startups. After receiving his PhD in computer science at Purdue University, he was an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Dr. Bondi also holds an M.Sc. in statistics from University College London and a B.Sc. in mathematics from the University of Exeter. His recent book, Foundations of Software and System Performance Engineering, was published by Addison Wesley in 2014. Dr. Bondi holds nine US patents. He received the Computer Measurement Group's A. A. Michelson Award in November 2016.

A Middle East expert has warned terrorists are planning a Paris-style attack on the United Kingdom as the next Islamic State target, to be carried out by British-born jihadis returning from Syria.
A senior European counter terrorism official told CNN's Paul Cruickshank of "specific intelligence" obtained by European security agencies suggesting that the UK is the next Islamic State target for a terror attack.
BREAKING: Euro CT official tells @CruickshankPaul: Intel obtained by Euro security agencies indicates ISIS aiming to attack UK
— CNN NationalSecurity (@NatSecCNN) December 4, 2015
CNN's terrorism analyst said the intelligence suggests that "British ISIS operatives in Syria and Iraq have been tasked to return to the UK to launch an attack," a fear which he says has been "compounded" by this weeks Parliamentary vote authorising British air strikes against ISIS in Syria.
Intel suggests British ISIS fighters have been tasked by senior ISIS operatives to return home and carry out an attack.
— CNN NationalSecurity (@NatSecCNN) December 4, 2015
The threat is reportedly being treated "very, very seriously indeed" according to the Daily Mirror. Mr. Cruickshank added that there is "real concern now about the threat to the United Kingdom… Concern in Europe, particularly in the UK now, that what we saw in Paris, an attack like that, could play out again, perhaps in the United Kingdom, in the weeks ahead."
Only last month the Hammersmith born and raised British jihadi, Aine Davis, was arrested in Turkey with what were said to be specific plans for a terror attack in Europe issued by ISIS commanders. The convicted criminal — an associate of Jihadi John likely radicalised while serving a two-year sentence in a young offenders institution — had been working as an ISIS prison guard holding foreign hostages in Syria.
Sussex University's Suraj Lakhani, a criminology and sociology expert who specialises in radicalisation and violent extremism, warns that young British Muslims are in fact radicalised by British extremists.
"There's always going to be a fear and a risk that this radicalisation we are seeing is happening within the UK.
"We know that 750 to 1,000 British Muslims have gone to fight with ISIS and that some of them have come back.
"The reality is that there is a high terror alert and there is a threat it's [Paris Attacks] something that could happen in the UK."

Approximately 8.9 million visits to U.S. emergency rooms every year result from slips and falls. Despite the fact that it happens to so many people, slipping, tripping, falling and then sustaining an injury on somebody else's premises is not just "one of those things." The injuries can range from serious physical trauma to traumatic brain injury, or even death.
If a hazardous situation compromised your physical safety, our attorneys at Tabor Law Firm will press the responsible party vigorously for appropriate compensation. We have experience helping accident victims across Indiana recover the compensation they need. We know these injuries are just as serious as any others, and we will fight for the recovery you deserve.
How We Prove Liability
In legal terms, it is important to understand whether the slip, trip and fall is arguably the result of negligence or hazardous conditions that were known or should have been known about at the time. In many situations, it can result directly from the negligence of the landowner or a third party.
A full and complete investigation of the area of your fall will need to be completed in order to determine if you have a case. We will look at information like:
- Looking for surveillance footage if you fell in a retail store
- The exact type of shoes you were wearing at the time of your fall
- The type of lighting that existed at the time of your fall
- If there were any witnesses who can support your account of events
Report what happened immediately to someone at the store, and if possible, write down the name of everyone you told what happened. It is important to have this information to link your accident to your injuries.
Schedule A Free Consultation Today
Quick action in consulting a lawyer as soon as possible after the injury will help to confirm the facts. We invite you to work with experienced lawyers during a free, no-obligation consultation. You can contact our office in Indianapolis by calling 317-643-7009 or 800-266-7103.

NCAA Football Betting Sites - Can I Legally Bet College Football Games Online?
The college football season is unlike any other season in sports. For one, they have fewer games than the major sports in the United States, placing an added sense of importance on each matchup every week. This is why there are so many lines provided for bettors at legal college football betting sites. Each game influences the outcome of the season, as a single loss can prevent a team from competing for the national championship or in a prominent bowl game.
With so much on the line, you can imagine that betting on NCAA football just amps up the excitement. But you don't want to just sign up for any regular college football betting site. You want to find the absolute best of the best legal sports betting websites. And of course, you'll need to sign up with legal college football betting sites. But what makes college football betting sites legal?
We answer that and any other question you may have concerning legal college football betting sites on this page. Here, we go over common wager types, popular deposit methods for casual bettors and high rollers alike, and so much more. Everything you need to know about using a legal college football betting site is here on this page.
Current College Football Betting Odds
Week 9 of the NCAA football season is here and the hits just keep coming, literally and figuratively. This weekend's matchups are some of the more intriguing that we've seen in a while as the storylines of the season start to solidify: which team will stage this week's upset, how hard will past greats fall, and who – if anybody – can stop the Alabama Crimson Tide? With this much interest being generated in the season so far it's clear that the industry's leading legal online sportsbooks are paying attention, and Bovada.lv – the best of the best in this competitive segment – has got the most comprehensive assortment of current college football betting odds you'll find anywhere.
First and foremost, with Alabama enjoying its bye week, the biggest game on the docket for this weekend is the 102nd Annual World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. The historic matchup between No. 3 Georgia and the University of Florida is making history in a slightly more personal way for the Bulldogs, which are heavily favored on Saturday for the first time in a good long while. Georgia has moneyline odds of -600 to win, whereas Florida will have to make do with odds of +400. Things look a little closer when it comes to betting the spread as, even though Georgia is still a 14 ½-point favorite, the Bulldogs and the Gators each have equal odds of -110 to cover the spread. The total projected score is 44 points, with the "over" side carrying odds of -105 compared to the odds of -115 on "under."
No. 2 Penn State and sixth-ranked Ohio State are also set to square off Saturday afternoon in what should be one of the weekend's more exciting games. The odds are a lot closer on this one than on just about any other game in Week 9, even those between other highly ranked teams, as Ohio State is actually favored with moneyline odds of -220 against Penn State's +180 odds to win. The spread is set at a mere 6 points, but Penn State, which will get the touchdown's worth of a handicap in its favor, has -115 odds to cover compared to -105 odds for the Buckeyes to do the same. The projected combined total score is a whopping 57 points, and the "over" side is listing for -115 odds, whereas the "under" side of the bet will go for -105 odds.
TCU (currently ranked fourth in the nation) is facing another ranked team in Iowa State (25th) this weekend. The two Big 12 rivals are fairly closely matched, given the disparity in their national rankings, though TCU is the obvious favorite in the matchup with moneyline odds of -245 compared to the +205 odds Iowa State has to work with. The spread is set at 49 points but the "over" side of the bet has odds of -105 while the "under" is looking (a little) more likely at -115.
Fifth-place Wisconsin gets to enjoy a breather this weekend against the unranked Illinois, and Bovada doesn't even list moneyline odds on this one. The spread is quite high – four touchdowns high – at 27 points, but Wisconsin has -105 to cover whereas the +27 point Illinois has got odds of -115 to win outright or lose within that margin. As for the total, the bookies are calling for a combined 49 points on the afternoon, with equal -110 odds either way on the over/under.
Clemson, which plummeted from a strong second-place just a few weeks ago, is now hanging onto seventh in the national rankings and the Tigers are set to play Texas Tech on Saturday evening. The Tigers seem to be primed to cruise through this game, with Bovada listing moneyline odds of -600 against Georgia Tech, which lists with +400 odds to win. The spread is set at 14 points, obviously with the handicap on Clemson, but the odds are equal both ways at -110 to cover. Similarly, both sides of the over/under on the projected combined total score of 48 points list with odds of -110.
The Miami Hurricanes have been on a tear lately, and they're up against a woeful North Carolina on Saturday for a noontime game that's more likely going to end up being an afternoon nap for the Sunshine State squad. Bovada doesn't list moneyline odds on the contest, and the spread is set at 20 ½ points (though the odds on both teams to cover is -110), and the projected total is 54 points with the "over" being set at -115 and the "under" with -105 odds.
No. 9 Notre Dame will take on 14-place NC State in a clash between 6-1 teams Saturday afternoon, but the Fighting Irish are walking away with the Bovada moneyline odds of -270 compared to NC State's +230 odds to win. This should be a close game, or at least Bovada's bookies think so, listing the spread at 7 ½ points and listing odds of -105 for Notre Dame and -115 for NC State. The projected total is where things get interesting though, as the bookies are calling for a 58-point combined score, and the listings are –105 on "over" and -115 on "under." Should be an exciting game, and probably one of the best money-makers for sharp bettors if they think NC State has a chance to be this weekend's upset.
Finally, bringing up the rear of today's update, is the somewhat surprisingly value-packed matchup between unranked FSU and Boston College. Florida State showed the most promise of any team nationally going into the 2017-2018 season but a blowout loss to Alabama in Week 1 has left the 'Noles in such a condition that they just can't seem to stop losing. Nevertheless, a game against Boston College on Friday night makes for good betting if you're a sharp bettor. That's because FSU has moneyline odds of -225 compared to the +185 odds for Boston College and the pitifully low spread of 5 points has -115 odds on FSU to cover and -105 on BC to win outright or lose by less than a touchdown. Considering just how disappointing Florida State has been this year, you almost certainly can't go wrong by picking Boston College this time around, especially with a homefield advantage.
College Football Playoff Odds
Bovada's college football playoff odds continue to list Alabama as the top team in the running for the 2018 College Football National Championship with odds of -120. That's not going to change this weekend, as the Crimson Tide get to rest up and enjoy a bye week. The other top five teams vying for second place aren't going to be holding back though as they all have games this weekend in which to make up ground on the steadily advancing and seemingly unbeatable Alabama.
Ohio State Has odds of +500 to win the National Championship, and the Buckeyes are in second place. That just goes to show how soundly 'Bama is trouncing the competition right now. Penn State has odds of +700 to win and take up third spot at Bovada, while Clemson is in fourth with odds of +1,000 to win – the same as Georgia. Notre Dame, which looks to be on a rebound, comes in fifth with odds of +1,800. Nearly every other team is simply out of sight.
How Can I Legally Bet College Football Games Online?
There are plenty of ways that you can legally bet on college football games online. Residents of the United States have two options, the first of which are offshore online sportsbooks. These books are regulated by their own countries, making them legal college football betting sites available to US bettors. These legal college football betting sites are extremely safe to use and have some of the best NCAA football gambling options you'll ever find. When you use an online, offshore sportsbook to bet on college football, you're using a legal college football betting site.
The second, less common option would be state-licensed sportsbooks. These are not widely available and you typically must live in the same state that the site operates from. Regulated sports betting sites are often partnered with a local casino. For example, MGM Resorts in Las Vegas offers a playMGM app for tourists. You can check the website of your gaming commission to learn if there are state-regulated sports betting sites. If not, you can use legal offshore sites for betting on college football.
Top 3 Deposit Methods At Legal College Football Betting Sites
Credit/Debit Cards – Using a credit or debit card to fund your account is a quick and simple way to credit your account and begin betting right away. The transaction is processed the same way that an online payment to a retailer is, so it only takes minutes at most before you are betting on all of your favorite college football teams.
Checks – Checks usually take a few days to reach the legal college football betting sites, but they are extremely reliable and secure. This method allows you to fund your account without having to use an online payment service, which is preferable for some. As a tradeoff for the time it takes to credit your account, Checks usually have high deposit ceilings, giving you the chance to deposit more in a single transaction when you use this method.
Bitcoin – Bitcoin is a digital currency that is perfect for the digitally savvy. Using a bitcoin wallet, you can deposit up to $25,000 to any legal college football betting site in just a few minutes. This method of banking is quick, safe, and adds a layer of privacy, as your wallet doesn't have any personal or financial information attached.

College Football Betting Sites FAQs
Do I have to pay taxes on my winnings?
We recommend that you pay taxes on the amount you collect from legal college football betting sites. We recommend this because there is no point in having to owe back taxes and pay extra fees to the IRS. Paying your taxes on your winnings is a part of being a US citizen and is the best way to remain within the law when betting in sports.
How do I request a payout?
You can request a payout by going to the cashier tab of your legal college football betting sites and choosing the method that you want to use for withdrawals. Then, you enter the amount you would like to take out of your account and the book will verify and process this request. Processing may take up to a day depending on whether or not you have bonus funds in your account. After funds are processed, your payout will be sent to you.
How old must I be to wager at a legal college football betting site?
While most online legal college football betting sites will accept players over the age of 18, we recommend that you find the legal gambling age in your state and adhere to that. Adhering to your state's gambling age avoids any problems that may arise when you attempt to withdraw funds.
