Versum Materials, Inc. and NuMat Technologies have announced a global, commercial agreement to offer a new line of products for the safe storage and delivery of dopant gases such as arsine, phosphine and boron trifluoride.
The new product line is called ION-X® and is based on revolutionary Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) which can selectively absorb, store and safely deliver ultrahigh purity gases at sub-atmospheric pressures.
ION-X® offers performance advantages over traditional carbon-based absorbent technology used in the ion implant processes for the manufacture of semiconductor devices.
Jim Minicucci, General Manager for Versum's Process Materials, Asia, commented, "NuMat and Versum are combining their respective leadership positions, with NuMat manufacturing the proprietary MOFs and Versum harnessing its world-class global footprint to manufacture, commercialise, and distribute the ION-X® product globally. Building on our long-history in specialty gases, we plan to design and construct a new ION-X® dopant gas fill plant at our production site in Sihwa, South Korea."
Ed Shober, Senior Vice-President of Materials at Versum Materials, added, "We are excited about working together with NuMat Technologies to deliver ION-X® products to our global customer base. ION-X® represents a new and differentiated growth opportunity, is complementary to our Process Materials business, and further aligns with our core competencies as a leading specialty gas manufacturer and supplier."
Echoing this sentiment of opportunity, NuMat Technologies CEO Ben Hernandez said, "We are pleased to announce our agreement with Versum Materials to globally commercialise ION-X®. This relationship with Versum represents a strategic pairing of NuMat's differentiated technology platform with Versum's operational, quality and commercial leadership in the semiconductor industry."
"We look forward to executing against a shared mission of delivering value and innovation to customers."
Snapshot – Versum Materials
Air Products completed the separation of its former Electronics Materials Division through the spin-off of Versum Materials, Inc. (Versum) in October 2016.
The company immediately began 'regular way' trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol 'VSM' and has since gone on to break ground on a new multimillion-dollar R&D laboratory project at its chemical manufacturing site in its hometown of Pennsylvania (May 2017).
The new facility will house a state-of-the-art R&D laboratory for new materials used in the manufacture of semiconductors. Scientists in the facility expect to synthesise and purify new molecules up to parts-per-trillion impurity levels using the latest technologies available in the industry.

Cycle #6
Week 4 Day 4
Been very lackadaisical with posting my workouts. This will have to change for the next cycle. I felt invigorated to get stuff done today and wasn't too happy about passing off doing the deadlifts this past Friday. I've come to grips with the fact that consistency is an ongoing struggle that I'll probably be butting heads with for a long, long time. It's a matter of training myself to get the better of it one day at a time.
5/3/1 Deadlift: 5×120, 5×150, 5×180
BBB Deadlift: 3x10x150
Sit-ups: 40/30/25
Learned a lot of stuff today from some older and significantly wiser men. Knowledge and theory are wonderful foods for thought, but has no effect on your own or anyone else's life without it's appropriate application. I have a ton of reading to do.

|Wankdorf. HA!
|Loading up on the train carriage
|Just the view from our humble chalet.
|The camouflage netting for the entrance was very effective!
|I wasn't clear if we were allowed to take photos.
|The view from our first train up the mountains.
|We weren't trained for this
|Totally off the rails on Train number 2
|We developed ski-envy.
|Train number 3.
|Part of the complex
|Standing on 'the plateau'
|You ask a guy for one of us with the view…
|Ice palace
|Dave and his little nugget from Ice Age
|The Sphinx observatory
On our way back down, we had to wait for the 2nd connecting train to arrive. When it did, we dutifully waited to the side for this bunch of women with sleds to alight – they were blocking the door with sleds. The doors opened, and they just stood there. So we figured they must be continuing on and made to board ourselves – where upon one said to us with considerable disdain 'we have to get off!'. Esch, without skipping a beat, replied 'Well get the fuck off then' – it was perfect.
|The toothed rail on the 2nd trains' track
|Another shot from the chalet.
|The main road. COME ON.
|The church over the road.
In the morning Dave and I wandered into the fog up to the castle above the old town. Later in the day Dave spotted a dodgy looking beam. We had a nice pizza for dinner from a local bakery, with some sweet things and this marzipan nutella cake thing particular to the region – delicious! Washed it all down with some Lemoncello. Dave made a remark about another saggy beam in our hotel, and we were told it was from 400AD. Mad.
I really liked the old town, a lot of history and a great atmosphere without the cars around.

She's the unofficial eyebrow queen of Perth and one of the hardest appointment to get in town.
Beginning her career as a makeup artist, it wasn't until Alison Jade discovered the importance of eyebrows that she found her niche. If you're one of the lucky regulars at her Cottesloe salon, you know that Alison shapes, waxes, tweezes, cuts, tints and bleaches your eyebrows to perfection.
We caught up with Alison to talk brow mistakes, brow sceptics and how the right eyebrow shape can completely change your face. Is your brow game strong?
How did you get into eyebrow shaping?
I started my career out as make-up artist. It soon become obvious to me just how important brows are and what the shape of them can do for your face. After I finished my training I was employed at a high end brow studio and I have been styling eyebrows for 11 years now.
Why are brows so important?
I think more people are aware of what it can do for their overall appearance and how groomed you feel. When you have the correct shape, they change the overall appearance of your face, making it appear more symmetrical and youthful.
Most common brow mistakes?
Over plucked brows! If the damage has been done over time you may not be able to grow them out. It usually takes around 6-12 months to fully grow your brows out. If they do not grow back we recommend Feather Touch Tattooing or alternatively you can have regular appointments with a stylist to keep your brows in the best shape possible to make filling your brows in easier. Another common mistake is applying to much brow product to the front of your brows. It is never a good look to have really dark fronts to your brows and light ends. Try starting at the middle to end of your brow and working your way to the front when you don't have much product on your brush.
Biggest horror story you've come across?
I see them everyday but the worst case scenarios usually involve people pulling their eyebrows out and tattooing that has been done in the wrong shape.
Biggest do's when it comes to your brows?
- Try to make regular visits to a professional to keep your shape.
- Stay as close to your natural shape as possible this will be the most flattering arch and shape for your face.
- Choose the right brow product that suits you—we recommend powder or a gel rather than pencils.
Biggest Dont's when it comes to your brows?
- Over tweezing or tweezing the tops of your brows at home.
- Drawing your brows on too heavy, if it looks like your brows are painted on you're doing it wrong. Try short light strokes instead for a more flattering finish.
- Using a brow product that is too dark for your complexion. It instantly ages your face.
What do you say to people who think getting their brows shaped is a waste of time/money?
Once you have had your brows shaped professionally, there is no looking back. Our clients say on a regular basis they would sacrifice other luxuries in life but never their brows!

Grassland and shrubland birds are declining globally due in part to anthropogenic habitat modification. Because population performance of these species is also influenced by non-anthropogenic factors, it is important to incorporate all relevant ecological drivers into demographic models. Design-based sampling and occupancy models were used to test relationships of environmental factors that influence raptor demographics with re-occupancy of breeding territories by ferruginous hawks across Wyoming. Although our results indicate re-occupancy of breeding territories by ferruginous hawks was compatible with densities of anthropogenic infrastructure in our study area, the lack of relationships between oil and gas well density and territory re-occupancy may have occurred.

Contract manufacturing of pharma products and company institutes mutual agreement among two companies whereas one company generates materials or the raw materials for other companies. Another company then utilizes that material of the manufacturing of completed products. The previous company which produces raw materials handles shipping as well as dispatch of the material to client for making sure that things are performed in suitable manner. A working model for the manufacturing company may suit to all business types because it basically involves the outsourcing of production to other companies.
The Increasing Requirement of Outsourcing
Coming to the pictures of contract manufacturing of pharma products, worldwide pharmaceutical industries are bringing newer trends and therefore pharma world can also experience severe and vibrant change. Having view of cutting cost of the drugs all the pharma companies reduce their costing, R&D costing, manufacturing aptitude, internal capabilities as well as are rather concentrating on the outsourcing. The drug firms are now depending more on people who offer outsourcing services having view of fulfilling their requirements as well as do cost cutting also. This development is also observed by pharmaceutical manufacturers of India in the recent times.
Limitations Encountered by a Few Companies Because of International Financial Crises
The demand of outsourcing available mainly in development and research concentrated on biotech industry. Many investors are there worldwide funding models are changing primarily because of funding deficiency. There are different bioteches companies which have lessened their programs as well as a few have gone to degree of closing whole operations. Because of global financial crises a few smaller Research and Development companies are having fewer demands of outsourcing. However irrespective for the fact that there are definite advantages of the contract manufacturing firms in pharma sector which may not be overlooked. It considerably reduces cost and brings the risks of drug development. The manufacturing amenities are enhanced therefore offering an added benefit in the product development as well as has better chances of getting different accreditations.
These are only few yet extremely strong reasons why a few of the oral/solid/liquid formulation producers in India have recognized and also adapted with contract manufacturing. The contract manufacturing of pharmaceuticals in India can witness superior boom in current years due to proficiency accessible in the nation as well as moderately lower cost. Numerous investors are available worldwide with funding models may change mainly due to funding insufficiency. There are diverse companies that have pointed their programs and also some have gone for degree to close the entire operations.

What and how Property Lawyers do their job
What's real estate law all about? What's it that real estate lawyers do and how do they do it? These are the queries that pop up in one's mind as one gets initiated in the real estate business and the only way one can get answers to these questions is by seeking advice. Oftentimes even after paying a couple of lakhs of rupees as a down payment on a flat, that is under construction the builder or developer does not start construction work on the plea that due to unforeseen circumstances, the construction work had to be withheld. A few months could very well have elapsed and the work may be pending. At this point, the developer/builder may be asked by the homeowner to clarify matters. Once the seemingly lackadaisical attitude of the developer is noticeable heated arguments may ensue followed by threats of a possible lawsuit by the homebuyer. The threat of a lawsuit is a deterrent for the contractor/builder who may retaliate by waiving off suing rights by signing one of the legal documents.

India's arguably generous maternity law benefits m...
In India, working mothers-to-be are far better-of than most of their peers in the developed world, however, the country's maternity laws are archaic. A year or two ago, the country passed the Maternity (Amendment) Bill aimed at working women and their right to paid maternity leave from 12 weeks to 26 weeks which is the world's third-highest. There is a no-win situation nonetheless — the law is meant for companies with a headcount of at least ten employees which is just a minuscule proportion of the working women of India.This limitation in maternity benefits is an upshot of the desire of the elite of India to merely mimic policies that are both purposed and executed in the West, without any sort of fine-tuning suiting Indian conditions. The maternity bill is an exemplary bill – phantom legislation that passes laws that don't have and in all probability will not be as effective as required. Progress or that one is doing something is an illusion, and is given, but the reality is something else. There is an ideological dimension to the law which is a part and parcel of what the Indian elite believes is good, just, and prestigious in communities transcending boundaries.Symbol of progressCanada and Norway are the only two countries, with GDPs per capita of 27 and 47 times higher than India's, respectively, provide protracted maternity leaves in comparison with India. The moot point, however, isn't the perception of generosity, but how the law is applied.It was estimated that the vast majority of Indian women shun work. While on the one hand the unorganized sector is comprised of over 80% of women working for companies with an employee headcount of less than ten. On the other hand, the organized sector comprises of 16% women workers, who do informal work, where the maternity law is not applicable.A more realistic assumption would be that a meagre 20% of the females work in the organized sector, then the law is potentially applicable to simply 1.3% of the workforce, or not even 1% of all females.Considering these off-the-cuff calculations, the unanswered question is why would India deplete its invaluable resources on ratifying a law that is applicable to a minuscule section of its growing population.Call 7604047601 for consultation with a registered expert maternity lawyer on Vidhikarya.

William Woods University is offering Columbia area residents the opportunity to pursue a master of business administration degree in accounting or agribusiness without quitting work.
The programs will begin with an orientation at 6 p.m. Feb. 18 in Room 10 at the Columbia Campus, 3100 Falling Leaf Court, Columbia.
Prospective students are encouraged to contact the university's Graduate & Adult Studies program prior to then, but walk-ins will be accepted. Call 1-800-995-3199 or contact WWU by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The new MBA degree with an emphasis in agribusiness is intended for professionals working in agriculture-related fields. It is designed to enhance the knowledge of the agriculture professional by emphasizing common business concepts as they relate to today's highly competitive and rapidly changing agriculture industry.
Courses for the 36-credit-hour degree include agriculture law, agriculture policy and futures trading, in addition to traditional MBA courses in executive management, economics, organizational business, entrepreneurship, marketing research, marketing planning and development, accounting and financial decisions.
The MBA Accounting degree at William Woods is a 36-hour program designed to equip accounting professionals with a broad array of skills and knowledge for professional practice. The program provides a well-rounded preparation for business professionals who wish to sit for the CPA examination.
According to Sherry McCarthy, vice president and academic dean, a combination of a CPA with an MBA is an increasingly more popular and marketable combination.
These programs make it possible for people with full-time jobs to complete a baccalaureate or a graduate degree while remaining employed. The programs are designed to prepare students for career advancement and to enhance their marketability in the job market.
Kristen J. Fritschie of Mexico, Mo., completed her MBA in Columbia.
"WWU is the only program that works for the working adult. Whether you are working full time, have a family or just a hectic life, William Woods University ensures that you have a work-life balance while giving you a fabulous education," she said.
Employing a model of accelerated learning developed especially for the convenience of the working adult, these educational programs are structured so that a degree can be completed in as few as 18-22 months.
William Woods offers degree programs that utilize a cohort model, emphasizing learning through student-directed study groups of three to five students.
Fritschie had high praise for the cohorts. "They provide and teach teamwork and accountability," she said.
Classes meet once a week in the evening for four hours. Study groups can meet once more to prepare projects and assignments before the upcoming week.
Because of the nature of programming—focusing effort on one course at a time—90 percent of all students finish their program successfully. Each course normally runs five to 10 weeks in length.
In addition to the MBA, William Woods offers several other Graduate & Adult Studies programs, including the ACCESS program of general education, an associate of arts degree in liberal studies, a B.S. in management (BSM), a BSM with human resources emphasis, a B.S. in paralegal studies and a new bachelor of social work degree.
Other graduate programs include MBAs with health management or human resources emphasis, a master of education (M.Ed.) in administration, curriculum/instruction or athletics/activities administration and a specialist of education (Ed.S.) in school administration or curriculum leadership.
William Woods can tailor any of its programs for a particular business or community. More information is available on the William Woods website at WilliamWoods.edu/evening.

Long-term goals for Colorado mining Superfund site set by EPA
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced three long-term goals for cleaning up the Bonita Peak Mining District Superfund site in southwestern Colorado that was established after the 2015 spill at the Gold King Mine site.
The goals call for improving water quality in four sections of rivers and streams, stabilizing mine waste piles to keep more pollutants from leaching into waterways and preventing big releases of tainted water from mine shafts.
In 2015, the EPA inadvertently triggered a massive spill of 11 billion L (3 million gal) of wastewater from the Gold King Mine in 2015. The spill affected rivers in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah with a yellow-orange plume carrying toxic metals. The Gold King is one of 48 mining-related sites included in the Superfund cleanup.
The goals are preliminary and could change, said Rebecca Thomas, the EPA's team leader for the Bonita Peak district. The EPA will develop more specific objectives later, she said.
The Associated Press reported that the water quality cleanup target areas include portions of the Animas River, the South Fork of Mineral Creek and Upper Mineral Creek. The goal includes meeting or exceeding state water quality standards and improving the habitat for fish and other aquatic life, said Doug Benevento, EPA's regional administrator based in Denver, CO.
The EPA has already outlined techniques it could use at waste sites from bleeding more contaminants into rivers. They include stopping erosion of waste piles, blocking rain and snowmelt from seeping through them, removing waste rocks from stream banks, dredging sludge from settling ponds and capping waste rock piles that people camp or hike on.
Stopping future blowouts from mine shafts is the toughest of the three goals, Thomas said. The options include installing bulkheads or barriers inside the mines to block or regulate the drainage
Wastewater sometimes pulses out of old mines, but it's impossible to predict when, Thomas said. The bursts could be caused by tunnel collapses or other events, she said.
Benevento said the EPA compiled the goals after meetings with community members in the district, which lies north of Silverton. He said he's confident the agency will have enough money to continue the work.

EC to introduce paper trail of vote in Nagaland bypoll
New Delhi: In the backdrop of demands by various parties, the paper trail of votes will be introduced in the country next month starting with Nagaland assembly bypoll.
The paper trail will be used as a pilot project during the Noksen (ST) assembly constituency bye-election in Nagaland on September 4.
The Election Commission decided to use the Voter Verifiable Audit Trail System (VVPAT) (paper trail of votes) with electronic voting machines (EVMs) after government amended the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961, allowing the Election Commission to do so.
"The Election Commission of India has decided to use the VVPAT system at the current bye-election from 51-Noksen (ST) Assembly Constituency of Nagaland. The poll for this bye- election is to be held on 4th September 2013," an EC statement said.
The paper trail of votes is being introduced in the wake of demands by various parties and leaders like L K Advani and J Jayalalitha seeking such a system to clear doubts of voters on EVMs. The new system will ensure if the vote cast by a voter has gone to the candidate of his choice.
The VVPAT system enables a voter to see in print the vote cast by him. However, the paper slip of his vote is not handed over to him and is kept separately at the polling booth.
The Commission has issued instructions to hold special meetings with the contesting candidates of Noksen constituency to brief them about the use of paper trail machines.
The Commission is also organising special training sessions for poll officers in the use of VVPAT and also for voters to held educate them for the use of new machines.

New York, London, Hong Kong November 29, 2016 – PineBridge Investments ("PineBridge"), a leading global multi-asset class investment manager, today released its 2017 Global Investment Outlook, a comprehensive analysis and preview across asset classes of the opportunities and risks for investors in the year ahead.
"We surveyed the state of the markets on behalf of multi-asset, fixed income, and equity investors around the world. What we found is that all of these markets are ripe for change – and the catalysts are everywhere," said Greg Ehret, CEO of PineBridge. "Political winds are shifting across developed and emerging economies and globalization shifts are creating new challenges and opportunities. Investors will have to look within and across geographies, sectors, and asset classes to best position themselves for this new chapter. "
Read the full version of the PineBridge 2017 Global Investment Outlook.
Economics: A Moment of Inflection
In 2017, investors will need to keep an eye on the rise of political risk in the developed world, particularly in the US and Europe, which could depress growth and raise market volatility. Markus Schomer, Chief Economist, is looking for a move in monetary policy away from excessive stimulus in the developed world and toward a more balanced stance that will gradually turn into policy normalization in the next few years.
"There should also be a gradual shift toward growing business investment – as long as interest rates remain low – instead of labor expenditures. Overall, the team expects a moderate reacceleration in global economic growth from the 3% average in the past two years to 3.4% in 2017 and 3.7% in 2018," said Schomer. For US GDP, growth forecasts have been raised to 2.7% in 2017 and 2.9% in 2018.
Multi-Asset: Fasten Your Seat Belts, It's Going to Be a Bumpy Regime Change
"The year ahead marks several simultaneous secular turning points including the initial signs of deleveraging ending in the US. A net plus to global growth with more meaningful differences to regional, sector, asset class, and factor winners and losers is a healthy backdrop for seeking alpha from choosing beta," said Michael J. Kelly, Global Head of Multi-Asset. "When the two largest economies – the US and China – pivot from slowing to revving up, take notice. Several other simultaneous regime changes are also likely to be fellow travelers."
While the US equity market previously appeared modestly overvalued, after-tax cash flows will now be worth more if taxes are meaningfully reduced. US GDP should also accelerate from a host of factors. Given US small-cap and value stocks' economic sensitivity, their attractive valuation is now being complemented with improving fundamentals by the second half of 2017, when tax rates should decline.
Countries with accelerating and domestically sourced growth – like India and Indonesia – provide compelling opportunities. Commodity producers should be big winners with infrastructure programs working their way through the pipeline. Risks to the outlook include trade negotiations spiralling into a global trade war, an inflation scare (but not an actual spike) emanating from the US, sluggishness in Europe and Japan, where negative interest rates and commensurately low output gaps persist, and China rethinking its faster trajectory.
Fixed Income: Investors Return to Coupon-Clipping in a Shifting, More Uncertain Environment
In 2017, PineBridge expects fixed income returns to decline while tail risks increase. More caution is in order given the likelihood of volatility flashpoints related to rising political risk in developed countries as well as a limited valuation cushion to absorb market shocks.
"With political risk and a transitory environment of monetary and fiscal policy we can expect heightened bouts of volatility to impact investing in fixed income. Investors must capture incremental alpha opportunities both across and within asset classes through micro views and security selection," said Steven Oh, Global Head of Credit and Fixed Income.
Across developed markets investment grade, US dollar credit is preferred over European credit with Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) as a defensive portfolio hedge, given higher US inflation risk. In leveraged finance, loans are favored over high-yield bonds on a risk-adjusted basis, with the US more attractive than Europe. In emerging markets, hard currency investment grade bonds over high yield segments are recommended for 2017, along with a targeted approach toward local currencies.
Equities: A Return to Fundamentally Driven Investing
The period of sharply falling earnings estimates for 2017 appears to have ended, with an increase in the number of companies seeing positive revisions, which should restore investors' confidence in the broad equity market. The slump in emerging markets may be ending as many of the main factors that led to underperformance are now stabilizing or even reversing, and infrastructure spending ramps up in Asia. However, risks to equity markets remain with the uncertainty around US trade agreements or a potential disorderly increase in bond yields.
"We see equity flows pivoting to active strategies in a market driven by fundamentals where selectivity will be key, as global growth accelerates," said Anik Sen, Global Head of Equities. "We maintain a high conviction on technology-related investments, small and midcap stocks, the US regional banks as well as in industries that benefit from infrastructure spending. In emerging markets, China is a bright spot with attractive secular growth in a number of sectors, and our positive view on India and Brazil, in particular, remains unchanged."

We realize how difficult it is to choose a casino that suits you, whether you are looking to find a brand new casino or a well-established online casino in general. There are so many options to choose from when it comes to online gaming these days. While most well-established operators are well-known and have proven to be reliable, almost daily we do find new casinos that are at least the same high quality and deserve to be reviewed on the same terms.
We help you find the best new casino sites out there in the big casino universe and guide you in the jungle of finding a UK casino bonus and complicated terms. You can rest assured that you will only find the best, reliable and safest online casinos in our listings. We have reviewed all casinos on this website in detail so that you get a complete picture of what you can expect before you sign up. We also help you if you have special preferences when it comes to payment providers for deposits and withdrawals, gaming providers when it comes to slots and live casino as well as regulators – which is really important if you want to stay on the right side of the law.
If you are residing in the UK you should always opt for a casino with a UK gambling license issued by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission. Choosing a casino online with a license from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) means you are playing at a legal UK casino and get tax-free winnings.
Hunt for the best UK bonuses
Casino bonuses have become so strongly associated with casinos online that almost all the focus is on the bonuses.
Casino bonuses are almost always tailored to the market where the player is residing. When it comes to UK casino bonuses, you usually find some of the best ones. Possibly thanks to the size of the UK, but also because casinos love UK casino players.
A bonus at a casino can be likened to a discount at your local store, or as a welcome gift when you start subscribing to a magazine. While we see it as very positive with bonuses that allow you to try playing online casinos or testing a new casino, we have noticed that there is a great knowledge gap that we want to help clog up by trying to educate and explain how different bonuses works. Which is not always that easy, but we do our best so keep up.
There are plenty of fantastic bonuses, but also those that are less amazing. You can expect that the majority of all casinos offer some kind of welcome bonus when you join. At some operators, you can also expect to receive regular recognition in terms of free money to play with, take part of special promotions and various forms of loyalty programs. Even cashback, ie money back on what you have lost, is becoming more and more common.
There are several different types of bonuses, and you can read about the difference between them here with us. We do our best to keep up to date and as soon as we see a new offer you can be sure that we will do our best to update Bonusho with the current information. Remember, however, always double-check the casino's terms against what we have written. It is a fast-paced industry where things change quickly.
Are you perhaps a high roller just looking for the best casino bonuses? We will be happy to help you too, here you will find hundreds of casino bonuses to dig into.
No Deposit Bonuses UK
Online casinos often give out bonuses without the need for a deposit to players, partly to attract new customers but also for you to be able to try playing without putting in your own money. Many casino sites compete with each other by offering bigger and better bonuses.
When it comes to No Deposit Casino Bonuses for the UK, or registration bonuses which they are called at some casinos, they are among the most popular ones at the UK casinos. For a lot of UK players, this is the bonus of choice. Probably because it's one of the easiest ways to try out a new casino.
How much they pay varies from site to site. But one thing that is certain is that there is a lot of competition between the various operators and it is competing to offer the most attractive bonuses. A No Deposit Bonus, bonuses without any requirement for a deposit, will usually be in the form of free spins or free money.
When it comes to free money, £5 free no deposit required is one of the most common ones among casinos online. Looking at free spins it ranges from a few up to 20 free spins on registration. Sometimes even more!
When it comes to these bonuses you can almost never just withdraw the money directly, but they are there for you to be able to try out slots and other casino games risk-free. A bit like a trial month on a streaming service. These bonuses almost always come with strict terms and requirements on how you turn any winnings into money that you can withdraw. The most common are so-called wagering requirements, which you can read more about here at Bonusho. However, each site has its own terms and conditions.
Deposit Bonuses UK
The most common form of bonuses are deposit bonuses, sometimes also called match bonuses or welcome bonuses. It is often these bonuses where the casino matches your deposit, sometimes several times over. The most common one is the 100% casino bonus, which doubles your deposit. One of the most popular ones is the 200% casino bonus which triples your deposit. But there's also 300%, 400%, 500% and even 600% bonuses offered at some casinos.
It's not uncommon for these bonuses to give you hundreds or even thousands more to play for. But generally speaking, it can be said that the higher the bonus, the more stringent the conditions for how the bonus will be converted into money that can be withdrawn from your account. A very common part of these bonuses is free spins packages, ranging from a few up to several hundreds of free spins.
A trend we have seen in recent years, however, is that so-called parachute bonuses, or non-sticky bonuses, are growing in popularity with both players and among casinos. If you want an extra good bonus, then look for a parachute bonus. For a complete guide on how to choose a casino bonus, check out the link.
Why is a Casino Bonus Guide needed?
New casinos are constantly emerging with new bonuses and many times they try to attract players with offers and promotions that almost sound too good to be true. Therefore, we believe that with the help of us you can learn how to go through offers and bonuses to understand if it is worth your time, your money and your energy or if you should check for another operator.
You have everything to gain from being a conscious player and consumer. With our gathered expertise, we try to transfer the knowledge we have so that you can easily understand all the conditions. Although it seems complicated, it is not always as complex as it may seem to be.
We do our utmost to ensure that our honest casino and bonus guide as Bonusho is actually giving you 100% correct information about the bonuses. But as mentioned before, it is always important that you check that our information matches the operators.
We also want to believe that it's important to have a specific guide for UK players since all casinos don't accept players from the UK. At the UK edition of Bonusho we do make sure that all the bonuses and casinos you find, are carrying a license from the UK authorities.
In depth honest casino reviews
It is important that you do thorough research before choosing which casino to spend your money on, as with any other consumption really. For there are less trustworthy operators out there. But how easy is it to navigate the casino jungle? There are thousands of licensed casinos and who knows how many without one. Therefore, we believe you can benefit so much from using a reliable source like Bonusho.com.
We do all the heavy lifting for you when we do our in-depth and fact-based reviews of all online casinos we can find. We go through everything that might be interesting to you as a player. All the fun things like game suppliers so you can choose the casino that has your favorite games. Necessary things related to deposits and withdrawals, including deposit and withdrawal limits. Currencies supported, and which payment options are offered. Amenities such as registration flow and if your language is supported.
Of course, we also check the important factors. How long have they been operating, is there a real company behind and what type of license do they have?
You will soon notice that our casino reviews are easy to digest and very concise. Of course, you can also find all the casinos that meet your preferences, and then choose the one that has the best bonus or appeal to you most in general.
The Future of Online Casino
The online casino industry is a relatively new industry with a large technology focus and always moving at the forefront when it comes to innovation. We at Bonusho do our best to keep up. As quickly as the interest in cryptocurrency spread like wildfire around the world, many casinos quickly snagged, and even more new ones popped up with just the cryptocurrencies in focus. Here at Bonusho you can of course read everything about Bitcoin casinos and other crypto casinos. We are sure that the cryptocurrencies are here to stay, but only the future can tell.
UK players and Casinos
So what's required to play at UK casino? Well, obviously you have to be a player from the United Kingdom, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a UK citizen and being a UK citizen doesn't automatically make you a UK player either! To make you eligible to play as a UK casino player at a UK casino you have to be residing within the United Kingdom borders. That includes everyone from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
UK casinos usually accept your local currency, the Great British Pound, or Pound Sterling which it's more commonly known as. But most of those casinos also accept a wide range of other currencies. Some casinos only require a £1 minimum deposit and there's also £5 minimum deposit casinos. Although most casinos require a minimum deposit of £10 to £20 for the casino bonus to be activated, but far from all.
Last but not least, you have to be at least 18 years old and able to prove your UK residency. Even though it might be possible for you to register, if you can't show proof of age and proof of residency, you are breaking the terms and conditions of the casino. This means any winnings, will most likely be confiscated.
So it doesn't matter if you are enjoying a cup of tea in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland whilst you are looking for a new casino or a great casino bonus. The UK edition of Bonusho got you covered in rain or shine.
Casinos coming soon!
One of the newest casinos is Lucky Days Casino which was launched early 2019 with a wide range of games and great offers. We are also looking forward to Wildz Casino, Scatters Casino, Casino Gods and Spinback Casino, which are expected later this year!

The 21 Day Fix is a pretty awesome program. If you don't know much about it; someone named Autumn Calabrese came up with everything you need to know to reach your goal weight or body. The key is portion control. You get containers, food lists for each container, and a calorie bracket based on YOUR weight, so you know exactly how much to eat in a day. Simple right? I know, it is pretty amazing! I love MINE, did I mention that? She also had short and sweet 30 min workouts to go along with it, don't let "short and sweet" fool you though, these can be though! Don't worry , there is a modifier if needed!!
Even though I love this program and NOW I think it is super duper easy, the first time I tried to make a meal plan I had to read the book THREE TIMES! I came up with a color system and did everything on paper and tried to be extremely organized with it. It did work, but I was not about to do that each week, because I know I am not going to eat the same thing week after week. I know some people can do that, but not me!
So this is what I came up with!
<<<< 21 Day Fix Week One Meal Plan >>>>
<<<< 21 Day Fix Week One Grocery List >>>>
I hosted, and participated in a Challenge group for the 21 Day Fix when it first came out, and it TOTALLY helped me get through the first round! There was something about having a group of people that were on the same journey as me that made it seem really easy and my goals seemed achievable when others were being positive and keeping me on track!
All you have to do is apply for the next group here!

Even as US President-elect Donald Trump appeared to have somewhat mellowed down over his climate change denial, there are already apprehensions that NASA's $2-billion annual budget for earth science could be his target.
According to Casey Dreier, Director of Space Policy, at Planetary Society it is almost certain that "the [earth science] division will lose its privileged funding position under a Trump administration (of all the sciences, it alone has enjoyed consistent growth of its budget under Obama)."
In an article published on November 14, National Geographic wrote: "Another casualty—this one seemingly more assured than the demise of SLS—is NASA's earth sciences program, which employs a fleet of satellites to study and understand our home planet. In addition, Trump may try to reduce NASA's role in ferrying goods to and from the Earth-orbiting International Space Station."
Trump's election speech in Florida just before the election had already signalled of things to come. While slamming the Obama administration for "undermining our space program", Trump had vowed to refocus on NASA mission of space exploration. "I will free NASA from the restriction of serving primarily as a logistics agency for low-Earth orbit activity," Trump had thundered.
During the same time in an op–ed published in the journal SpaceNews, his two space policy advisors — Robert Walker, former chairman of the House Science Committee, and Peter Navarro, an economist and public policy expert — had minced no words. While calling for a focus on deep space activities, the op-ed noted that while "NASA was formed in the crucible of Sputnik and took this nation to the moon and stars. Today, it has been largely reduced to a logistics agency concentrating on space station resupply and politically correct environmental monitoring."
Today, in an interview with Scientific American, Walker, who wrote Trump's proposed space policy, reiterated his stand saying budgets would have to be realigned to handle that transfer. "We would also anticipate that any new [earth science] programs would be funded by those agencies."
It comes as a relief — however small — that Walker will not have any role in the transition team and is most probably ineligible to serve in the Trump administration at all since he is a registered lobbyist.
Walker is of the view that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) should take over all of NASA's satellite missions that are used for earth and climate-related works. The goal is to free up funds for more NASA human exploration missions into deep space.
This should come as a rude shock given that NOAA has a budget that barely a quarter of NASA's and the bulk of its funds go into weather forecasting and environmental monitoring. NOAA also uses NASA's earth observation satellites and even for its own satellites relies on the space agency for building and launching.
Much of the piece by Walker and Navarro was in tune with Trump's oft-repeated line of 'Make America great again': "NASA's core missions must be exploration and science – and inspirational! These are the fundamental underpinnings of a Trump civilian space program." It calls the current operational structures and procedures "outdated", invokes the glorious Apollo mission and NASA's traditional rivalry with the Russian space set-up ("NASA was formed in the crucible of Sputnik and took this nation to the moon and stars").
But the underlining message was clear if one paid close attention — "NASA should be focused primarily on deep space activities rather than earth-centric work that is better handled by other agencies" such as such as NOAA.
However, Walker dismissed this being an ideological battle on climate change. "When we talk about 'deep-space activities,' we are talking about planetary science and space-based telescopes and all those kinds of things. There have been concerns among some of us that those sorts of NASA programs were robbed in order to concentrate on Earth science, and we want to re-establish the emphasis of NASA itself on the things that go beyond Earth orbit and Earth-observation activities," he told Scientific American.
Boost for earth science under Obama
Under the Obama administration, NASA had a renewed focus on earth observation as a major mission. In fact, in NASA's 2017 budget demands, remote sensing had figured at the top. In an exclusive interview with Geospatial World earlier in the year, NASA chief Charles Bolden had admitted that the space agency had really gone down in funding for earth science over the last decade or so. "Now we are trying to get the level of funding for earth science back to its historic level."
Maintaining that the Obama administration had helped it to propose more funding for earth science "so that we restore the balance that we once had in that particular area", Bolden said, "Earth is the most important planet. We can't do anything in terms of exploration if we don't have Earth as our dominant platform from which to leave."
However, Obama had been under fire from the Republican lawmakers in recent years who had sought budget cuts to climate change-related Earth science programs at all three agencies.
Trump call echoes Republican stand
In fact, the stand of the Trump camp is not different from that of the Republican Party. In recent years, Republican congressmen had been after NASA's earth science budget. The House Science Committee last year passed an authorization bill that aims to cut up to $300 million from the nearly $2 billion NASA funds allocated for earth science, saying it "balances" funding between earth and space studies.
The House Appropriations Committee this year advanced a spending bill that raised NASA investments to a record $19.5 billion, which was actually $500 million more than Obama requested. But what is noteworthy is there was a $231-million cut for the budget of earth science.
Things had come to such a pass that the former GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz sparred with NASA chief Charles Bolden over funding issues during a committee hearing last year. Cruz, who chairs the Commerce Committee's NASA oversight panel, had also questioned some of NASA's missions as "political directives."
NASA at the forefront of battling climate change
The very idea that NASA is only all about deep space is a flawed one. The agency was always supposed to look close to our planet as well in deep space. In fact, the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 specifies the NASA agenda as focus on "phenomena in the atmosphere and space."
Over the years, NASA, with its long range of earth observation and weather satellites, has vastly improved weather forecasting and natural disaster prediction and relief. A mission that started way back in 1959 with the launch of first weather satellite – Vanguard 2 – continues unabated as the agency launched the multi-billion-dollar weather satellite GOES-R into space as recently as November 19. The joint program with NOAA is set to gradually replace the very successful GOES or Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite' mission.
NASA is the only federal agency in the world that is capable of studying the impacts of global warming from orbit. It has 17 space missions collecting climate data, contributing to reports on everything from the state of the atmosphere to rising sea levels. Its scientists offer some of the government's most cited analyses of the extent of climate change.
