So for example, we have a creamy white throughout most of the house, but in nook areas and rooms we will paint colors like warm gray, grey-blues, dusty greens, etc... ALL of these colors tend to have the same feel and hue. Meaning that we don't have bright orange in one space, and then a cool blue in another. Personally, I think a house should flow well. You should be able to walk from one room to another and never think... "Oh GOSH, this room is horrible, but the last one was AWESOME!" Does that make sense? That's why I try to push the theory of adding pattern and color through NON stationary items, like pillows, throws, a chair, rug, etc... These items are perfect for adding personality from one room to the next, without overwhelming your homes overall feel. PLUS you can change them out easily, if you ever want to switch your colors or decor to a different style.
:)

I hope this helps!

Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Jurgen Klinsmann, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Franz Beckenbauer and Didier Drogba; all of these stars feature in FIFA.com's line-up of exclusive interviews from the past 12 months.
Click on the link on the right to see all our interviews from 2009.
One of the first to give us his testimony was Argentina midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron, who agreed to answer questions submitted by our readers. "There are always further goals to achieve," the 33-year-old assured us. Nine months later, he was a Copa Libertadores champion and a finalist at the FIFA Club World Cup.
In one of the most candid interviews of the year, Mexico defender Rafael Marquez took the opportunity to open up his heart and defend himself amid the controversy that had engulfed the national team for the month of March. "It's unfair to just blame me. I'm not the only one responsible for the situation. Mexico will be in South Africa, have no doubt about it," he promised confidently.
In April Iker Casillas diagnosed his side's recent lack of European success: "Real Madrid lack competitive players in order to really compete in Europe," he told us, without realising that within a few months he would be sharing a dressing room with players of the stature of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Among the coaches we spoke to, Luiz Felipe Scolari announced his desire to end his career in Brazil, while Carlos Parreira predicted a successful 2010 FIFA World Cup™, for Bafana Bafana next June.
As that date looms ever closer, it is impossible to forget Didier Drogba's stark warning to opponents: "Watch out for Côte d'Ivoire." Other luminaries to offer their words of wisdom to FIFA.com users were giants of the German game: Lothar Matthaeus, Jurgen Kilnsmann and Franz Beckenbauer.
Lionel Messi and Marta, crowned FIFA World Player of the Year and FIFA Women's World Player respectively at the Gala in December, were also on hand to give us their impressions on another dream year.
2009 also saw FIFA.com secure an exclusive face-to-face interview with Diego Armando Maradona. Speaking to us for the first time, El Diez shared his thoughts about Argentina's troubled qualification campaign, his special rivalry with Brazil and Pele, his new challenge at the head of the Albiceleste and his desire to hold up the FIFA World Cup trophy next year.
If you enjoyed these interviews, get ready for more in 2010 as we continue to bring you the words of the stars in our regular 'Interview of the Week' section.

Europe my realm and my prized possession,
I instill in thee our novel ideals,
for your feudal laws our conquest repeals.
Our boisterous wind of emancipation
liberates Spain from draconian inquisition.
Of the proud Brit's stupendous earning power,
an Egyptian campaign would rest the case.
I have made subservient Austria to face
defeat and lasting capitulation.
By sheer divine providence I soar
above my Italian inheritance,
bequeathed by papal authority
and placed in custody of my viceroy.
By my might I brought to subjugation;
the recalcitrant fiefdom of Russia,
and the resilient kingdom of Prussia.
Not even Portugal dared resistance
with her weak army debased like a toy.
But in sudden flight and rare sobriety,
her sovereign lord bowed to abdication.

Options are powerful investment tools and were designed as risk-reducing instruments.
Investing with less risk and having portfolio protection with profit opportunity – isn't this an excellent combination of attributes for your investment portfolio?
Investing using options is an increasingly popular form of investment that is accessible to anyone and does not require a huge amount of starting capital. The common misconception about options investing is that options are too risky for regular investors and should only be used by experienced traders. It is wrong – options strategies are not inherently risky by themselves – it is just how you use them defines risk/reward outcomes.
Some investors may use options strategies to reduce the risk of a share portfolio, while others use them to take on increased risk in the hope of increased rewards. As such, options are appropriate both for conservative investors looking for protection from market volatility and for aggressive investors looking for leveraged returns.
At IFGM we provide you not only with the options education but we will also provide regular general trading reccomendations which you can follow to find your own personal way to use options to enhance your investment returns

I'm still new at this....

I'm still new at this....
Hello, I just joined the forum. I feel like I've been here before back in high school but, I lost my profile information and kind of fell off. At a young age I always found myself drawn to anything dealing with vampires, from watching all the movies, to reading only vampire books, and dressing up like one every year for Halloween. I hate to admit this but I even fell into the Twilight Saga nonsense for a while, I was a stupid teenager. I was in the 11th grade when I first found out about the existence of real vampires, my first encounter was with a girl I had known since we were in preschool. She confided in me one night while were hanging out drinking, not really coming out about it but being very discreet about it. We hung out all the time after that and eventually she felt comfortable enough to come out and tell me about herself and how she became this way. Afterwards her girlfriend also decided to tell me more about vampires and her "vampire family" it all went as far as them offering to turn me and allowing me to be in their family as well. Me being so infatuated with vampires and always wanting to be one, I didn't think twice about it, I just did whatever they told me to do. They took turns feeding from me and playing mind games with me for about 2-3 years until they go tired of me and threw me away like garbage. I was heartbroken and looking for anything to make me feel whole again, so I found comfort in church and Jesus, however around this time something in me was changing and I could feel it. The term "vampire" never left my head, I started doing research and going online to talk with people who identified as a vampire. I learned more about the culture and the community, but I was also looking for answers about myself. About a year ago I found someone online who I was very determined to get to turn me, I had waited long enough and this is what I wanted! What I deserved after all the hell I had been put through! We talked for a few months until I finally asked him the same question he had been asked millions of times, but he turned me down. He knew something about me that I never knew about myself. One day while we were talking about a "bad day" that I was having, he asked me I knew why I was dealing with all these new emotions, new situations, new energies. He told me to meditate and taught me how. I never knew that this entire time he was helping me through my awakening. After a very long year of dealing with the hunger, the energies, the anxiety, depression, feeding, struggles of not being able to feed, I've finally comes to terms with what I am. I still have days where I wonder if I'm just some delusional person whose desires got the best of them. My family has no idea only my significant other and a few select friends know about me. I come online to express myself and actually connect with others like me because I can't do it anywhere else. I'm sorry this was so long, I just figured I would give my backstory.

Re: I'm still new at this....
Welcome to the community and thank you for giving us some background on your story. So many join here without any word or information. First of all it seems to me that you have been deceived and manipulated many times, not by vampires but by people pretending to being vampires. That's where all the mind games and talk of turning is coming from. Now this doesn't mean that you're delusional at all, only that you have been unfortunate and targeted by the many liars out there. Trust me that kind of people are everywhere. It's possible that vampirism may be the path for you but that's a process of discovery that only you can walk but also requires the proper guidance and wisdom. Either way I hope you find some answers around here, take your time reading the tons of information that we have available and don't be so troubled with the word vampire and being identified by it. It's just a word. Truth is most people claiming to be vampires out there are just lonely humans seeking power, not vampiric at all. Real vampires are very hard to find, live in the shadows and in great secrecy, such as the Asetians and Sethians, the original vampire families in occult history.

I've actually never heard of Asetians or Sethians, but I look forward to reading more about them. I'm always up for learning more.
I am coming to the realization that I was played for a fool by those two girls and that they were nothing more than two regular people trying to look cool in high school. But thank you for the welcome, I hope to be hearing/reading more from you.

The Australian Passport Office and its agents are committed to providing a secure, efficient and responsive passport service for Australia.
Located in Southern Europe, Greece shares a border with Albania, the North Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north and Turkey to the east. Greece is also bordered by the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. It has a population of 10.9 million (2015), approximately 4 million of whom reside in the capital, Athens.
Greece joined the European Union (EU) in 1981. It is a member of the Schengen Area since 2000 and adopted the Euro in 2001. There are 21 Greek Members of the European Parliament. Greece has held the revolving presidency of the Council of the European Union five times between 1983 and 2014.
Australia and Greece have had consular relations since the 1920s and have exchanged resident Ambassadors since 1965. Australia has an Embassy in Athens and an Honorary Consulate in Thessaloniki. Greece has an Embassy in Canberra and Consulates or Honorary Consulates in New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia.
In May 2014, Australia and Greece signed a Work and Holiday Visa Arrangement. The arrangement was approved by the Greek Parliament on 9 December 2015.
In 2007, Australia and Greece signed a bilateral social security agreement to provide improved social security protection to people who have lived and/or worked in both Australia and Greece.
Positions indicated in the list below were held at the time of the visit.
In 2015-16, Greece was Australia's 66th largest merchandise trading partner. Two-way merchandise trade was approximately $216 million. Australian exports to Greece totaled $15 million and consisted mainly of fruits and nuts, agricultural machinery, specialized machinery and parts, and ships and boats. Goods imported from Greece totaled $201 million, including prepared and preserved vegetables, cheese and curd, medicaments (including veterinary) and aluminium. Two-way services trade between Greece and Australia is heavily weighted in Greece's favour. The export of Australian services to Greece was worth around $79 million in 2015-16, while services imports from Greece totaled $917 million. Our services trade consists mainly education-related travel and transport services.
Australia's stock of investment in Greece as at the end of 2015 totaled $240 million. Investment in Australia from Greece was $284 million.
Greece and Australia enjoy a close and constructive relationship based on strong community ties. The 2011 Census recorded 99,938 Greek-born people in Australia and 378,267 people who claimed Greek ancestry. The Greek-born population in Australia is largely concentrated in Victoria and New South Wales. Melbourne is Sister City to Thessaloniki.
Australia and Greece share an enduring historical link as a result of the involvement of Australian troops in the defence of Greece during the two World Wars. During World War I, the Greek island of Lemnos was the base for over 50,000 Australian soldiers, sailors and nurses who fought and served in the Gallipoli campaign. In the Battle of Crete (May 1941) during World War II, Australian soldiers fought alongside Greek, New Zealand and British troops to defend the island against German invasion. The battle is commemorated annually.
Greece is Australia's 50th largest inbound market by arrivals. In 2016, there were 9,400 short-term arrivals from Greece, an increase of 23.9 per cent on the previous year.
Greece is Australia's 21st largest short-term destination. In 2016, there were 84,900 short-term resident departures from Australia to Greece, an increase of 4.1 per cent on the previous year.
Greece is a Parliamentary Republic. The President, elected by Parliament every five years, is Head of State. The current President, Mr Prokopios Pavlopoulos, was sworn in on 12 March 2015.
The unicameral parliament consists of 300 members, elected for a maximum of four years. The Prime Minister is Head of Government. The SYRIZA party was first elected in January 2015, and was re-elected in September 2015 in snap elections. On both occasions, SYRIZA has formed a coalition government with the Independent Greeks party (ANEL). The government is led by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.
Greece's foreign policy agenda has traditionally focused on the European Union (EU), the Balkans and its near neighbours (in particular Cyprus and Turkey).
Greece held the rotating Presidency of the EU in 1983, 1988, 1994, 2003 and 2014. Greece is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which it joined in 1952, and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
The Greek economy grew on average by over 4 per cent per year between 2003 and 2007, but lost a quarter of GDP in the prolonged recession which followed the global financial crisis in 2009. According to the International Monetary Fund, Greek general government net debt was 179 per cent of GDP by the end of 2015. Unemployment was 23 per cent in late 2016.
To stabilise the economy and address unsustainably high levels of public debt, Greece is undertaking a wide-ranging program of economic reforms and fiscal consolidation supported by the European Commission, the European Central Bank, the European Stability Mechanism and the International Monetary Fund.
The main engine of the Greek economy is the services sector comprising 83.3 per cent of GDP, followed by industry at 9.4 per cent and agriculture at 3.8 per cent (2014). Tourism is important for the Greek economy, contributing around 18 per cent of GDP. Greece's other industries include food and tobacco processing, textiles, chemicals, metal products, mining and petroleum.
Greece has little heavy industry, with its once-substantial ship building industry in decline over recent years. Greece nonetheless still has one of the largest registered merchant marine fleets in the world.
Agriculture is of major socio-economic importance to Greece, with 12.9 per cent of the workforce employed in the sector. Almost 20 per cent of the land is arable and almost 9 per cent has permanent crops. The main agricultural products are wheat, corn, barley, sugar beets, olives, tomatoes, wine, tobacco, potatoes, beef and dairy products.

The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux (Dakota) Community is a federally recognized Indian tribe formally organized under federal reservation status in 1969. Tribal members are direct lineal descendants of Mdewakanton Dakota people who resided in villages near the banks of the lower Minnesota River. Chief Sakpe, [Shock-pay], which means the number six, spoke for a village that was located near what is today the town of Shakopee, which was named after him. The SMSC presently owns more than 2,800 acres of land, all of which are located within or near the original 250-acre reservation established for the Tribe in the 1880s. Tribal lands are located in Prior Lake and Shakopee, Minnesota. As a sovereign government, the Community provides a multitude of services to its members, including health and dental care, social services, a full range of educational offerings, land administration, and public works services. The SMSC utilizes its financial resources from gaming and non-gaming enterprises to pay for the infrastructure of the Tribe. The SMSC builds and maintains roads; constructs and maintains water, wastewater, and sewer services; offers educational programs for youth; plows snowy streets; maintains environmental safeguards; monitors wildlife and wetland conditions; and evaluates alternative energy sources. The SMSC opened a fire department, Mdewakanton Emergency Services, in 2002, which each month responds to an average of 200 calls and transports 60 patients. The SMSC has established intergovernmental agreements with the City of Prior Lake and Scott County for a number of projects. The SMSC also voluntarily pays fees for services to local governments for police protection and other services. The Community also financially supports a number of charitable causes both locally and nationally; from 1997 through 2006 the SMSC donated more than $75 million to organizations, schools, and Indian Tribes. The positive economic impact for Scott County, Minnesota, where the Reservation is located, is more than $189.7 million annually.

TAFARAD15U Thematic course: Religion and Development
MA programme in African Studies
This course will look into the relationship between religion and development and analyse the question of what role religion plays in development at the practical, ideological and religious levels. The course offers a critical reading of the current ways in which religion has been linked to development by way of broadening the focus to include also belief, religious ideas and experiences. We will discuss changing trends in how religion has been approached in development policy and practice. We examine the role of religion in development, both as an enabling factor, but also in conflicts and radicalisation. We will read the more 'focused' literature on the role of religion in development, but will also widen the perspective to look at religion in contexts of conflict, displacement, as well as in relation to forms of mutual assistance that lie outside the institutional boundaries of NGOs and faith-based organisations. The course will also pay some attention to how religious ideas and experiences shape social practices, social relationships and how people perceive development and their engagement with development organisations. The main focus is on Christianity and Islam, but other religious traditions will also be discussed in particular as part of understanding how the encounters between different religious ideas and practices interact with ideas and practices of development. The empirical focus of the course is on Africa, but we will also draw on examples from other contexts. We will invite a number of guest speakers from organisations working in the field of religion and development.
Preliminary course themes and program:
- Introduction and trends within the literature and the practical field
- Religion, international organisations and civil society
- Faith-based organisations, service delivery and mobilisation
- Case study with representative from organisation
- Humanitarianism and religion
- Charity, gifts and relations of exchange
- Development and missionaries – a historical perspective
- Islam, aid and development
- Religion and human rights
- Religion, conflict and displacement
- Religion, politics and power
- Essay supervision
- Identify how the role of religion in development has been discussed and approached both in policy and in academic literature
- Understand the underlying epistemological differences for how we can understand the relationship between religion and development
- Independently and critically analyse how religion and processes of development are interacting, overlapping, conflicting, and mutually constituting each other.

Item 2 of 7
Our Vision
Emily works with her clients to help them bring their vision of home or business to life. With a background in communication and education, she considers herself to be a facilitator in the design process. She works very linearly, efficiently, and intuitively to help people create what feels like home to them--not her.
Emily is extremely efficient. She does not waste clients' time, which also means she will not waste their money! Her process to manage a design job is very clear, which is responsible for her success. This process not only ensures a beautiful end result, it also ensures that the process goes smoothly from a budget perspective. With a principle value of sustainability, Emily recommends "green products" whenever possible. She is often looking for ways to keep elements that do work with updates and improvements. This not only helps the environment, but your budget as well.
As the founder of Color in Space, Inc., http://colorinspace.com/index.php, Emily has developed a methodology for creating impeccable color designs using a physics lens. Color theory is based in the science of light. This is a two-step process, where Emily is working as a facilitator. She guides clients in making decisions, ensuring that the relationships in the design support each other and work together. For many clients, the process Emily uses is a paradigm shift in how they think about and look at color. She employs this process for both interior and exterior consultations, and it is the foundation for her kitchen and bath designs as well. This ensures that all of the architectural finishes work together and communicate homeowners' visions beautifully.

What does every online seller need?
Inventory, right?
Well, doesn't finding inventory sometime feel like a hustle?
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a steady, consistent stream of sales from replenishable inventory?
That's exactly what my friend Christie has and she sells almost $10,000 per month in predictable, replenishable inventory. This means Christie has more time to spend with her husband, grandkids, and working on ways to expand her business like wholesale and private label.
Christie is going to talk about how she does it on a webinar this coming Tuesday, July 17 at 7 pm CT. You don't want to miss this! Reserve your spot here – https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FBvhQ5rOSSCUF_j59nk_Cw
Also, just for being on you'll get a crazy awesome free gift!
Are you going to the ASD trade show in Vegas at the end of this month?
Join me as we walk the floor at ASD to look for private label opportunities.
Did you know that you don't have to source private label products in China?

Choosing the right range cooker fuel type
When choosing a range cooker, one of the most important factors to consider is fuel type. Range cookers are available in a number of different fuel types – all gas, all electric or dual fuel. Each fuel type has its own distinct advantages and disadvantages, although selection may be dependent on necessity – rural areas often don't have mains gas supply for example – as well as cooking style and indeed cost.
Gas cookers
Gas cookers, as their name suggests, combine gas ovens with powerful gas hotplates and gas grills. Primarily fuelled by mains gas, a limited number of models can be run from LPG (bottled) gas making them ideal for use in rural areas without a mains supply. A strong niche market, the choice of gas cookers is not as great as it once was, but most UK brands are happy to cater for this popular format and there is still a good choice available.
The immediacy, power and responsiveness of a gas hob in combination with the gradient heat distribution of a gas oven make gas cookers the preferred choice of traditionally skilled chefs, and the moist heat created in a gas oven makes them perfect for roasts and casseroles.
A range of different burner sizes make the hob area extremely versatile, and specialist wok burners and griddles can lend the cooker a professional feel.
Electric cookers
Electric cookers offer electric ovens with either radiant ceramic or, increasingly, efficient and responsive induction hobs. Electric cookers are generally quicker and more efficient than their gas counterparts, and easier to use. Increasingly popular due to their modern look and easily-cleanable design, the choice of electric range cookers is growing as manufacturers cater to consumer kitchen trends.
Modern electric cookers utilise either fanned ovens, multifunction ovens or a combination of the two. Fanned oven ensure that the heat is consistent throughout the cavity without the natural 'hotter at the top' gradient of a conventional oven. Multifunction ovens enable the user to select a cooking method – conventional, fanned, top and bottom heat only etc – to suit the dish being cooked, and will also include an additional grill element.
Induction hobs are becoming increasingly popular as more manufacturers introduce the technology onto their cookers. Induction technology works by utilising a powerful electromagnet beneath the surface of the hob to agitate the molecules of the pan – this ensures heat is transferred directly to the food, with no heat being lost into the surrounding environment. Because of this induction hobs are considerably more heat-efficient – and faster – than their ceramic counterparts and although generally more expensive to buy initially, electric cookers with induction hobs are more cost efficient to run in the long term.
Dual fuel cookers
Opting for a dual fuel range cooker allows for certainly the greatest choice of styles, widths and finishes. By far the most popular choice, dual fuel cookers offer an extremely useful and versatile pairing of powerful gas hotplates and efficient electric ovens, usually fanned or multifunction or a combination of the two. This 'best of both worlds' combination undoubtedly provides an excellent cooking experience and is the most flexible format for normal domestic use. As a result most manufacturers offer a wide selection of dual fuel cookers, which span the entire range of widths from 90cm up to two metres or more.
The choice of fuel type will be influenced by various factors – familiarity, lifestyle, cooking experience, style of kitchen – but choosing a range cooker which will continue to be right for you is an important decision, and one we are happy to help with.

New Jersey Governor, Chris Christie, addresses the benefits of vertical farming at the Newark facility.
Hydroponic, vertical farming is no longer the agriculture of tomorrow. It's here today. Aerofarms, one of the world's leaders in hydroponic agriculture, is on track to open the largest vertical farm in the world this year. When completed, the facility will be nearly 70,000 square feet of vertically aligned grow trays, making it the largest vertical farm in the world. The company behind the futuristic farm, AeroFarm, is fully invested in using vertical farming to solve the problems of exploding populations, particularly in urban centers. The Newark facility, just an hour from Manhattan, will produce 2 million pounds of food per year. What's more, that food will be grown in an intricately controlled environment maximizing the nutrients and even taste of the crops while lowering the resources required to grow it by 95% (Learn more about the health of hydroponically grown foods from our blog). The end result will be cheaper, healthier, more environmentally friendly vegetables being delivered fresh to New York and New Jersey cities every day. As huge supporters of hydroponics, we'll be following AeroFarm with great interest and hoping they open one up by us!

One of the things I've been looking for is a good statistic that demonstrates just how actively targeted the human element has become. I've had several discussions about this topic with the malware community (not just anti-virus employees but researchers, operations, etc) and I knew the numbers were high. I often get estimates that up to 70% of malware can be totally dependent on exploiting just the human, while another percentage involves exploiting both the human and technical vulnerabilities. I just read a very interesting statistic from Symantec at Network World, where Symantec states that 97% of the malware they now encounter either totally depends on exploiting the human, or involves a combination of exploiting both the human and technical vulnerabilities. In other words, only about 3% of malware they are seeing depends purely on exploiting technical vulnerabilities. Now, you always have to take statistics with a grain of salt, especially from a vendor. They do not explain how they achieved those metrics. However, regardless of what the exact numbers are, this helps demonstrates that purely technical exploits are the thing of the past, at least at the desktop. The vast majority of attacks against the desktop (the world of malware) now either totally depend on or at least involve the human.
With numbers like these, I still don't understand why the vast majority of the security community still focus on just the technical issues. My guess is because technical vulnerabilities are the simpler of the two to solve, and simpler to demonstrate that you have solved it.

Funded by community donations
As a non-government, not-for-profit organisation we rely on community support to continue funding vital cancer research, running education and prevention programs and providing much-needed support services to WA families affected by cancer. Without you we simply couldn't do what we do.
Community funds come to us in a number of ways, including:
- through our major fundraising events such as Daffodil Day
- through smaller community-based fundraising events
- by generous people including us as a beneficiary in their Will
- from sponsorship and support from WA businesses
- from income generated through our retail outlets including the Cancer Council Shop at Subiaco and our online retail shop.
In addition to the above, we are successful in securing grants from the State government for very specific campaigns such as our Make Smoking History anti-tobacco campaign.
But when it comes to funding cancer research, services and programs for cancer patients and their families, that money comes directly from community donations.
For more details of how these funds are utilised, please see our services.
Thanks to the support of our generous community we are able to continue working towards a cancer-free future for our community. Together, we will beat cancer.
For further information view our financial statements.

Looking for a new mobile-bingo community? Ready to reap some big sign-up rewards? Well, you could find some small-bit bingo site that is promising a big welcome bonus, but it probably won't host premium games. (What good is a load of free credit with nothing good to play?) Or, you could take our advice and go with a reputable source that offers way more than a one-time gift.
When it comes to a dedicated promotion for mobile bingo users MeccaBingo has the experience to give players what they want. Right now there are four mobile-oriented specials you should know about, so let's take a look.
1) the bingo bonus for new players here is up to £50 as a 100% cash-back bonus
2) access to the exclusive 'Britain's Got Talent' app for iPhone or Android
3) daily bingo bonus points are awarded for every card you play on-the-go
4) during the first week of every month 40% of what you spend goes to charity
Before we go into the details, you should realize that Mecca is one of the most visible and most trusted brands for mobile-bingo fun. Even though this four-fold promotion for mobile bingo users inspires confidence, another sign of trust is the fact that its apps are officially registered through both the Apple Store and Google Play (while you can also just follow the SMS instructions at its mobile-bingo site to download directly). Another sign of this prominence is the fact that you can actually connect with local bingo groups through Mecca, so great is its involvement in the game.
Probably the first thing about a bingo bonus for new players we want to know is whether you must spend anything to get started. Given the free trial at Mecca you can become a member on a no-deposit basis, sure, but you can't win money until you deposit funds. After you play through your first deposit of £5 to £50, the site will credit you back that amount 100%!
Beyond a great promotion for mobile bingo users the next thing you want to know concerns the games. Even though 'Britain's Got Talent' is a Mecca exclusive, also it's running the full gamut of the highest quality 90-ball-bingo apps, including:
- Bingo Keno Extreme
- Bingo Reactors
- Bingo Slot
- Bingo Slot Multi-Jackpot
… not to mention stellar side games such as Monopoly, many Egyptian-themed titles, as well as the classic Poseidon's Kingdom. More Android bingo games and apps here!
Mecca throws in little spiffs anywhere it can, too — for example, at the close of certain 'Britain's Got Talent' rounds all players score a free scratch-card for up to £10 free. Those are the winning details, along with a generous loyalty programme, that are a must for your bingo membership.
Best of all, you needn't take our word on this alone. Mecca-Bingo has won the prestigious EGR award (Electronic Gaming Review) for 'best mobile performance'.
Now it's just up to you to take advantage of such a broad promotion for mobile bingo users and win your first jackpot playing great mobile bingo at Mecca!

Dear Angela,
I really struggle with the Sunday School classes at church. The way the teachers present the material — it's as if they are talking about something entirely different from what's in the manual. How does a lesson about spiritual gifts turn into an all-out debate about cosmology? I've gone too many weeks without saying something because I don't want to be disrespectful. But I need better lessons and I'm sure others do, too. What can I say? How can I say it?
Sunday Student
Dear Sunday Student,
Great question. Here are a few tips that I've used in my life that may help you with your current dilemma:

Ordinarily, an architecture firm tailors its design to a homeowner, making sure that it fits his or her aesthetic and lifestyle. So what happens when there is no homeowner — or, at least, not yet?
When Cayley Lambur and Lucia Bartholomew, the managing partners of Electric Bowery, decided to team up with investors to develop a lot in Venice, California, it was a chance to act as their own client. They chose to build on one of Venice's famous "Walk Streets," which are pedestrian only, and they envisioned a Scandinavian-inspired design. To make it happen, though, they needed the approval of the committee who oversees the Walk Streets, and a plan for maximizing the narrow site.
Once the neighborhood was onboard, Lambur and Bartholomew started on construction, taking additional inspiration from the area's bungalow-style homes. The house's asymmetrical pitched roof and cedar cladding are contemporary, but still give a nod the surrounding architecture.
And as for the interior spaces, the duo opted for rooms that would flow into the outdoors and take advantage of the calm street. The open-plan ground floor flows onto a spacious outdoor living room, and the master bedroom has its own terrace. And in keeping with Venice's reputation, Mere Studios added vintage furnishings to bring in a bohemian vibe. Maybe the home doesn't have an owner just yet, but for now, Lambur and Bartholomew are satisfied that they brought their stunning vision to life.

Icy roads caused crashes and school closings in parts of New England on Tuesday morning, and now heavy rains are causing flooding in some areas.
Flood warnings are in effect for parts of Massachusetts and Connecticut this afternoon, with the potential for significant flooding in urban areas, including streets and underpasses. Police are urging motorists to drive carefully on the way home today due to the potential for standing water.
The MBTA suspended service on the Green Line between Fenway and Kenmore Stations in both directions as workers build a sandbag barricade in front of the Green Line tunnel opening just east of Fenway Station because the Muddy River was rising. Buses were used to replace the street cars.
The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency also confirmed flooding in Natick was causing delays on the Framingham-Worcester Line.
Wind gusts measured about 40-55 mph on Massachusetts' South Shore, according to MEMA. Along NECN's travels to Scituate, there were broken street signs and power lines whipping in the heavy winds. A wind advisory was also in place for Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
Drivers were trapped on Walnut Street in Peabody, Massachusetts, late Tuesday afternoon after several of them drove through blocked-off roads and got stuck in the water, including two taxi drivers. Police closed down Peabody Square due to rising water; the city, which is often impacted by flooding, got 2 inches of rain.
Power outages are also being reported around New England. In Vermont, Green Mountain Power has more than 18,000 power outages, and crews will be working through the night. In Maine, CMP reported more than 800 without power.
Drivers in New Hampshire, meanwhile, faced everything from rain, to ice, to snow during the nor'easter. Accidents shut down some of the major highways as crews worked to keep up with the storm.
The rain came down steadily for most of the day. Conditions deteriorated quickly when the freezing rain started at about 8 a.m. and turned roads into ice skating rinks.
For the ninth time in just two weeks, a state trooper helping a disabled vehicle was hit by another car. At about 5:30 Tuesday morning, police say a driver going too fast spun out and hit the trooper in Newington. She was inside her car at the time and only suffered minor injuries.
"If a trooper happens to be out of their car and they get struck out of their vehicle with no protection, it could easily be a fatality," said Major Chris AuCoin.
A crash on I-293 forced police to block an on-ramp in Manchester, but AuCoin says the worst of it was on I-93 at the I-89 junction in bow, where the highway was shut down for about an hour.
"That was because of multiple accidents and conditions at which troopers couldn't even stand and neither could fire personnel to attend to the accidents," he said.
Massachusetts State Police said responded to multiple crashes and spinouts in the morning, including several cruiser crashes. A multiple vehicle accident was also reported early Tuesday morning on Interstate 94 in the Attleborough area. Massachusetts State Police were also working several crashes, a rollover and numerous spinouts.
Particularly bad areas included northeastern Massachusetts, especially Cape Ann and the Merrimack Valley, and central Massachusetts, including routes 495, 290 and 146.
Massachusetts State Police reported flooding on Route 99 in Saugus, with the road closed in both directions in the area of Osprey Road. And earlier today, the ramp to Exit 8 in Fall River, Massachusetts, off Route 24 was experiencing flooding.
Around 6 p.m., the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency listed some roads in the commonwealth that were strongly impacted by flooding:
- The Arborway, in Boston's Jamaica Plain neighborhood, was impassible.
- Milton's Truman Highway was shut down at Brush Hill Road.
- A lane of Quincy Shore Drive in Quincy was closed off.
- Vehicles were stuck in flood waters on Route 16 in Revere, near Chelsea. Both sides of the road are closed. Water was also reported to be rising from manhole covers on Mystic Parkway.
- Both sides of Route 16 are closed in Chelsea at U.S. Route 1.
- Route 133 in Rowley was closed between I-95 and U.S. Route 1.
- U.S. Route 1 southbound is also closed at Route 62 in Danvers and at Lake Street in Peabody.
- A flood warning was in effect at the Sudbury River in the Saxonville area of Framingham. MEMA believes parts of Wayland near the river will be impacted.
Tuesday's rainfall of 1.53 inches broke the previous record of 1.29 inches, which was set in 1956.
Vermont State Police in Middlesex temporarily took one lane down on Interstate 89 south for a truck off the road. Many roads in Vermont were reportedly slick with black ice, especially on I-89 between exits 8 and 10.
There were also spinouts on Interstate 84 east in Tolland, Connecticut, due to the slippery conditions, causing the highway to temporarily shut down until the DOT was able to treat the highway.
A rollover crash in Hooksett, New Hampshire, on the Everett Turnpike has closed the right lane, and a crash was reported earlier Tuesday morning on Interstate 95 south in Hampton. Speeds on the Maine Turnpike from Kittery to Exit 53 were temporarily reduced to 45 mph due to the snow and rain.
Still fresh in Granite Staters' minds is the Thanksgiving week storm that knocked out power for more than 200,000 customers. For most of the day Tuesday, New Hampshire only experienced isolated outages. But as the temperature drops overnight that could change.
If it does, Public Service of New Hampshire spokesperson Lauren Collins says, the utility company has 160 linemen plus an additional one hundred contractors and 200 tree workers on the clock to deal with it.
"We just went through a large scale outage so our muscle memory, if you will, of handling this is very, very fresh," Collins said.
When storms happen, stay with necn anytime to be prepared:

As more cities move to ban diesels, are some key snags being ignored?
With a number of governments including the UK having encouraged motorists to side with diesel in recent years, some drivers may have been left aghast on learning that four of the world's major cities have announced that they plan to introduce a complete ban on diesel vehicles in the not-too-distant future1.
The damaging effects of air pollution do indeed need addressing urgently, as the problem is attributed to approximately three million worldwide deaths each year according to the World Health Organization (WHO)2, including 467,000 premature European deaths in the view of the European Environment Agency3. Diesel vehicles ironically emit less CO2 into the atmosphere than petrol equivalents, but they are responsible for pumping out higher levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particular matter4, which are the main culprits when it comes to respiratory problems and other human health effects.
By 2025 at the latest, Paris, Madrid, Athens and Mexico City plan to have completely rid their streets of diesel vehicles, with the French capital's attempts to clean up its act having started some years ago, the city's most recent move being to ban cars registered before 1997 from driving on its streets between 8am and 8pm on weekdays5. The Champs-Élysées is now closed to traffic once a month and the mayor has also started to pedestrianize certain parts of the city.
The four named cities boldly announcing their intentions to ban diesel vehicles within the next 8 years might seem revolutionary, but it's not yet clear whether the bans will cover each city in its entirety or merely certain districts. Besides, the whole concept isn't exactly new, as Germany6 introduced an anti-pollution law in 2006 requiring drivers wishing to enter the green zone of most German cities to display a special sticker in their windscreens. Almost seventeen years ago, Japan7 also made moves towards banning diesel vehicles.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan must be feeling under a fair bit of pressure to announce a timed diesel ban here, too. Hot on the heels of the four cities revealing their bold plans, speculation was let loose that Mr Khan could expedite the extension of the Ultra-Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ)8 beyond London's boundaries by as soon as 2018, compared to his originally planned time-scale of 2020.
It could be argued that if governments like the UK are keen to start turning the tables on diesel vehicles and encouraging people and businesses to buy and lease hybrid or fully electric vehicles, they'll need to simultaneously address some key snags:
- Public transport is often viewed as woeful by passengers around the country, as has lately been demonstrated by the rail strikes9 in London and the south. Head to the north of the UK and commuters are often interviewed on local news programmes lamenting overcrowding on trains, or the tardiness or buses. And it's not like public transport is priced attractively enough or runs suitably regularly to encourage people to give up their cars and rely on it in their daily lives.
- Ultra-low emissions vehicles and in particular electric cars and vans are still relatively expensive10. Okay, let's ignore the revered Tesla Model S for a moment and look at the more affordable Nissan Leaf. With a theoretical electric range of around 125 miles, which will translate to circa 80 miles in real-world conditions, even major car magazines11 cite its price as a negative, with similarly-sized12 petrol and diesel cars costing at least a few thousand pounds less, without monthly battery fees.
- The charging infrastructure for electric and hybrid vehicles is often found to be inconsistent, with out-of-service charging points a common problem, along with slow network growth and the trend for previously free facilities to now charge a fee. Poor infrastructure is contributing towards the reluctance of fleets to embrace EVs, according to Chago UK13.
Until car manufacturers have made PHEVs and EVs more affordable for average families and small businesses, which OEMs are hopefully all working towards at this very moment, public transport improvements really will need to step up in the meantime.
It also remains to be seen as to what will happen to the huge number of old and even relatively recent diesel vehicles on UK and worldwide roads that suddenly become excluded from major cities. Many motorists, especially in Athens, Mexico City and other comparatively poorer urbanisations, simply won't be able to afford to buy or lease an environmentally-friendly new car at the drop of a hat, so presumably some kind of scrappage scheme or other incentives will need to be offered to such drivers.
It's fair to say that more questions currently exist than answers and while it is indeed vitally important that countries address their untenable air pollution crises, it's also imperative that drivers currently relying on diesel vehicles don't suddenly find themselves up the creek with no viable alternatives once the bans go live.

Does that make sense?
a fitness journey will be never-ending, it's a lifestyle.
FLASHBACK! I reached a BIG GOAL in February 2012, I weighed in right after Serena's FIRST Birthday at 147 lbs. 147 lbs y'all!!! I hadn't seen that number in years, since before getting married!!! It was a big deal, I was pretty dang proud, I busted my ass juggling a workout routine (my first round of Les Mills Pump & Running), with those 3 pretty little monsters, adjusting to our new home state, while he was on deployment. I.DID.IT!!
FAST-FORWARD! February 2013...a homecoming and into another deployment...ehh, let's just say 147lbs was no where in site. I pretty much gave up the scale in 2013. And, tried to start Les Mills Combat twice and failed at Turbofire after 4 weeks. I steadily began gaining [more] weight with the help of no Beachbody Routine, Fast-Food Eating & Drinking Rita's/Sangria. Yep, all that shit adds up! And, uhmmm,...it's not fun! So, I fell down and then got up, fell down again and my ass isn't going back down. I learned my lesson, I had time to beat myself up (a few times), I still do, but I'm moving forward. Ain't nobody gonna hold me down, uh-oh, I've got to keep on moving...just.like.that.
MAY! Another homecoming, a few half marathons, and I decided to get my ass back in gear!! I started the Les Mills Pump/Combat Hybrid and tried my hardest to stick to it!! I did have days where I fell off, got back up, and went in harder! Another routine I started was half-marathon training, an 8 week crash course. And, those 2 routines combined with a few other challenges along the way, got me closer to where I was!!
CHALLENGE! I'm not one who lives on the scale, I feel it, I see it. And, I've seen the progress happen. Towards the end of June, I said, goodbye to energy drinks (redbull, monster, rockstar) and coffee. I needed to challenge myself and it was tough!! I felt LESS bloated, I look less bloated. I learned new ways to energize my body. I learned that waking up at 4am to get my training runs done, was perfect for my schedule, it gave me energy and a much better mood for the day! It was also what I needed, I needed time all to myself, and I needed some peace in my heart. July was a pretty hard month, my dad's birthday month. I was running religiously, so I can find the time, to just be.
RESULTS! At the end of 12 weeks, I weighed in back to the 160s! I, obviously, do want to reach a healthy weight and ultimately want to see slimmer legs, arms, sculpted legs, arms. I want to see sculpted muscles, they want to be scene!! I'm still learning to fuel my body the right way, I'm still learning to eat healthier, and drink more water (So much toilet paper). I'm still learning and I'm embracing every ounce of progress along the way!!
There's no pill, no shake, no wrap, none of that sh*t, it's all about dedication, SWEAT, working your ass off, and making it happen. There are NO EXCUSES when you want it, you get after it!
So, stop complaining, and stop talking about it it. Just go out there and do it!! Start a routine, (hey, get with Beachbody. Ask me!), strap your boobs into a supportive bra, lace up those walking/running shoes, PUSH PLAY/GET BUSY at home or walk/drive yourself to the gym!! just.keep.going.
Les Mills Pump/Combat Hybrid
12 weeks {May-Aug 2013}

28 April | Aberystwyth | Why the UK Needs a New Foreign Policy
Why the UK Needs a New Foreign Policy
Sat 28 April | 13:00-15:00
St Anne's Church Hall
Facebook Event »
Organised by: Ceredigion Stop the War »
Stop the War Ceredigion presents "Why the UK Needs a New Foreign Policy."
Since the Blair-Bush years, UK Foreign Office has been tightly bolted onto that of Washington's. Now, with the divisive Donald Trump as Commander and Cheif, is it time to construct a genuinely independent foreign policy?
How would an ethical, anti-war UK government change the international scene? and, less commonly spoken about, how could it benefit the people of the UK?
A fantastic line-up will give a short talk, then answer questions from the audience.
Mark Serwotka, Gen Sec of Public and Commercial Union
Lindsey German, author and founder member of Stop the War Coalition
Ayla Gol, lecturer, International Politics Aberystwyth University
Adam Joannes, Cardiff based activist, Cardiff PA & Cardiff StW
Food and drink will be available...

WCPT, as part of its programme of work on evidence based practice, has committed to further the development, endorsement and accessibility of clinical guidelines.
Clinical guidelines are systematically developed statements which help the practitioner and patient make decisions about appropriate health care in specific circumstances. (Field & Lohr, 1992)
On this page you will find information on:
- WCPT publications
- Databases of clinical guidelines
- Clinical guidelines development methodology
- Critical appraisal of clinical guidelines
- International network G-I-N
- International clinical guidelines programmes
- Further reading
WCPT publications
WCPT has published two keynote papers on clinical guidelines.
Further keynotes are planned and will look at practical experiences with using clinical guidelines.
Databases of clinical guidelines
- Visit our online databases page where you will find a number of links to relevant databases.
- PEDro is a valuable source of physical therapy relevant guidelines. In the search options you can select "practice guidelines" under method.
Clinical guidelines development methodology
The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) Working Group began in the year 2000 as an informal collaboration of people with an interest in addressing the shortcomings of present grading systems in health care. The working group has developed a common, sensible and transparent approach to grading quality of evidence and strength of recommendations. Many international organisations have provided input into the development of the approach and have started using it. Information is also available in español, français, deutsch, italiano, polski.
National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, UK
The National Institute for Health and Clincical Excellence (NICE) in the UK provides clinical guidelines methodology resources.
World Health Organization
Access the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for developing guideines.
Critical appraisal of clinical guidelines
AGREE stands for "Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation". It originates from an international collaboration of researchers and policy makers who work together to improve the quality and effectiveness of clinical practice guidelines by establishing a shared framework for their development, reporting and assessment.
- Access the AGREE Instrument, a tool for assessing the quality of clinical guidelines
- The AGREE Research Trust is the home of all resources concerning the AGREE Instrument and activities related to it. The AGREE Research Trust (ART) was established in July 2004 to facilitate the distribution, maintenance and improvement of the AGREE Instrument and to encourage its development through collaborative research projects. You can access the AGREE Instrument in a number of languages, including French, Spanish, Portugese, Dutch, Finnish and Norweigan.
International network
Guidelines International Network
The Guidelines International Network (G-I-N) is an international not-for-profit association of organisations and individuals involved in clinical practice guidelines.
Founded in November 2002, G-I-N has grown to 67 organisational members and partners representing 34 countries from North and South America, Asia, Europe and Oceania plus WHO.
G-I-N seeks to improve the quality of health care by promoting systematic development of clinical practice guidelines and their application into practice, through supporting international collaboration.
Physical therapist Philip van der Wees, Director of the Centre for Evidence Based Physiotherapy in Maastricht, the Netherlands, has been elected a member of the Board of Trustees of the G-I-N. Read about it in WCPT News.
G-I-N's Guideline Library contains regularly-updated information about guidelines of the G-I-N membership. In March 2006 more than 3,300 documents are available.
8th International G-I-N Conference Seoul, Korea, 28-31 August 2011. Relevance for Physical Therapy: The conference is very relevant for physical therapy researchers, policy makers and practitioners. G-I-N aims to be a network for all health care professions. G-I-N recently started an Allied Health Community to promote multidisciplinary collaboration in clincal guideline development. One of the projects of the Allied Health Community is to develop a position paper to integrate patient functioning and quality of life in clinical guidelines, using the International Classification of Functioning (ICF).

Crazy: Scary Moment Dog Slips Out Of Owners Arms & Into A Tigers Den!
A pet dog had a narrow escape after it fell into the water at a zoo in Jiangsu Province, eastern China. Heart-stopping footage shows the moment two tigers can be seen staring at the dog as it slips from its owner's arms yesterday afternoon. Just a month ago, a donkey was pushed and fed alive to the tigers at the same animal enclosure, causing outrage on social media. Posted By PSmooth

For the past week I've been working on a variety of things, primarily a small faction, changes to how time and quests work as well as interface redesigns.
One of the changes to time is how it progresses. When the player walks from one edge of a map to another, time is currently advanced by 15 in game minutes to give a feeling of traveling a longer distance. It may change until release. Time also plays a role in some quests, requiring you to finish them within a certain amount of days. Some may also automatically fail if you take too long before starting/finding it, the dialogue of the quest giver can be different because no one helped them within a certain time frame or they may simply have moved on to somewhere else or died.
New Journal
In order to increase consistency of interfaces, I also made changes to the Journal, where you'll now find your current quests and custom notes under proper categories. Creating custom notes requires you to have at least 1 piece of paper. Quest categories are also in, inspired by the Inventory screen. Below is a small example using placeholder quests. It still requires a bit of work, but it's a proof of concept at least!
The categories are as follow: All, Main, Misc, Treasure Hunts, Bounty Hunt, Faction and Custom Notes. The categories are easily switched between either by using gamepad bumpers or clicking with the mouse.
Treasure- and Bounty Hunt are two new quest types that can be found by either reading wanted posters or finding small maps/notes leading to greater loot. Bounty Hunts usually leads to a nice chunk of gold or some unique items, based on who placed the bounty.
New faction: Stargazers
The new faction is a small one and will not be joinable by the player. This new faction is called "Stargazers" and are a small group of astronomers and munks. Their job is to look at the night sky and try to decipher what the alignment of the starry night sky mean and turn them into blessings for the people and the land. With a little bit of exploring, they may be the first faction the player will meet after starting a new game.
As with all other shrines and sanctuaries, the player may give tribute to the altars found within to receive unique blessings by the gods or just make the faction like them more.
Camera lerping
I also added in some camera movement which can be toggled either on or off in the options menu.
That's it for this week, until next week I hope to have applied the same changes as the Journal to the Factions screen as well as implementing more quests and fix at least a few bugs. Cya!
