There are numerous regulations and requirements for truck drivers regarding rest breaks and sleep requirements, all with the goal of preventing dangerous truck accidents. Interestingly, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) are now trying to research additional safety measures to address the condition of obstructive sleep apnea in truck drivers.

There are many ways that truck drivers can reduce or prevent the risk of 18-wheeler accidents, however.
Safety precautions for sharing Virginia roads with motorcyclists
Virginia motorcyclists usually take safety seriously when they climb on their bikes. Whether by wearing a helmet, obeying traffic laws, or using their headlights and taillights when appropriate, they often take precautions to ensure their own safety. Vehicle drivers also ought to be taking precautions to prevent dangerous motorcycle wrecks. There are many steps drivers can take to help make the roads safer for motorcyclists and themselves.
Car accident victims may benefit from Virginia attorneys' counsel

How to Connect with Donors and Double the Money You Raise
by Thomas Wolf, 109 pp., $24.95. (Click here for quantity discount information)
Reality check.
Can you, as the title of this new book by Thomas Wolf says, really double the money you raise?
That depends.
If you're already raising a sizable sum, then, yes, you might well double your revenue by heeding Wolf's advice.
But if you're raising only modest amounts now, then you should be able to triple or even quadruple your charitable income.
One thing is certain. Most fundraisers haven't been raising nearly the amount they could, argues Wolf.
Too often we see donors through the lens of retention rates, average gifts, moves management, and gift table place setters.
It's as if our donors have become video game avatars we can manipulate.
OF RELATED INTEREST: A watershed book, The 11 Questions Every Donor Asks prepares you for the tough questions you'll inevitably face from prospective donors. Harvey McKinnon identifies 11 such questions, ranging from "Why me?" to "Will my gift make a difference?" to "Will I have a say over how you use my gift?" And the suggested answers are illuminating. Whether you're a board member, volunteer, or staff, your ability to respond to these 11 questions will largely determine your fundraising success.
While that may help us harvest low-hanging gifts, fundraisers who reap the real bounty do something many neglect in this era of Facebook. They engage their donors in a multitude of ways, large and small.
Not that it's always easy to relate to your donors and treat them as the key partners they are.
What about when your donor is too demanding? What about when you feel too close to ask? What about when the gift you receive is disappointing? Worst of all, how do you relate, with any degree of authenticity, to a donor you find somewhat offensive?
As a first step, you follow Wolf's advice, which he offers through irresistible, real-life stories about donors.
How to Connect with Donors and Double the Money You Raise convincingly shows that successful fundraising is all about turning a name into a relationship.
When you do that, the money will flow.

It's the Donor's Ballgame
A little old man shuffles up to the ticket office at the University of Michigan and asks whether he might buy a ticket for the big game with Ohio State the next day. "Something near the 50 yard line would be nice," he says.
The ticket seller guffaws. "There hasn't been a ticket available for that game for weeks … anywhere in the stadium."
"Okay," the little man says and walks away.
About an hour later, the athletic director and the football coach are summoned to an emergency meeting. The President is apoplectic. "An alum just walked into my office a few minutes ago and is talking about giving the University a hundred million dollars. In our conversation, he mentioned that he couldn't get a ticket to the Ohio State game tomorrow. I don't care if you have to bounce the President of the United States or the Pope, give him anything he wants."
By the time the little man returns to the ticket office, the band has been assembled and they're playing the school song. The athletic director apologizes for the previous error and says, "There was a mis-understanding. Of course we have a ticket for you – the seat is in the President's box, will that suffice?"
"Well I don't want to put you to any trouble, but that would be fine."
"And the President's limo will pick you up and bring you to a special brunch before the game. Will that be okay?"
"Yes, very nice and much too generous," is his modest answer.
"And is there anything else we can do for you?"
"Well can you tell me when the game starts?"
"What time would you like it to start?" asks the athletic director.
This delicious, over-the-top story makes an important point – if you want to be successful with donors, give them what they want (assuming you can, of course).
Start with the easy stuff – a birthday card, a note of congratulations when a child graduates, a get-well note when the donor is sick. Then there are other small gifts that can make a big difference – the more personal the better.
In the summer, for example, I make homemade vinegar with herbs from our family garden and concoct an apple rose-hip sauce from our orchard. I make little gifts of these for friends, including some donors. I enjoy doing it and because the gifts are totally unnecessary, they give the recipients obvious pleasure.
In some cases, a donor may request a favor – one that could provide a special opportunity for you. "Any chance you can get a ticket to your sold-out opening for my friend Bob?" "Could someone at the office give me a lift to the board meeting?" "I wonder if one of your curators would come with me to a gallery as I'm thinking about buying a particular painting."
In each of these cases, the favor may simply be a way of doing something nice or it may lead to more substantial long-term results. Friend Bob may be another prospect. The lift to the board meeting might be a chance to talk about a special project needing funding. The trip to the gallery may result in a painting that ultimately is bequeathed to the curator's institution. Whether or not any of these things happen, the nice gesture will certainly be remembered and probably reciprocated in some way.
But the question of how to cater to donors' wishes takes on a different cast when the request directly impacts your organizational activities. Sometimes a donor may want you to hire a friend or family member, or take on a new program, or build something. That poses no problem if these are things you're going to do anyway. But sometimes it's a little more complicated. The request may actually run counter to your plans or policies.
One of my own greatest regrets was hiring an individual based on the urging of a donor. Not only was the decision wrong initially, but undoing it alienated the donor far more than simply saying I'd take his opinions into account when we looked at the candidates.
At other times the dilemma of trying to please (or appease) a donor emanates from a situation over which the organization has no control. My friend Barbara Bentley, who for many years has headed the Friends of Baxter State Park in Maine, told me of one such situation.
"We have a generous member who carefully reads all our minutes and publications and then asks if he might help out, make our lives a little easier by helping us to pay for such and such. He loves to identify the project and then write a check. He's done this a number of times, and of course we're grateful.
"But although the Park we support is an independent entity, it's regulated by the State of Maine and we're not allowed to earmark gifts. Our donor has always found this hard to understand. For close to 25 years, he tried to give a large sum for trails and maintenance but wasn't able to make it work legally.
Then, during the Katahdin Lake Campaign a few years back, the Governor and Attorney General got together – when time to raise the necessary millions was running out – and figured out a legal vehicle for accepting almost $10 million from this gentleman for a designated purpose."
Wow, you might say. That's a no-brainer! What took them so long? Of course they should have done what the donor wanted. But the issue was a legal one and the complex actions were only worthwhile once it was clear that an extraordinary gift was in the offing.
Yet even when a gift is large, the situation isn't always so clear cut. Sometimes what the donor wants is simply not in the best interests of the organization. One of my mentors was Boris Goldovsky, whose eponymous Goldovsky Opera Theatre was supported by many public and private funders. In training me, he recounted what he called his "least favorite fundraising story."
"I remember sitting down with people from a major foundation who told me they were willing to give a six figure gift if I'd undertake a national tour of the opera 'Carmen.' In my heart I knew it wasn't right for us – the production was too big given the size of the gift – but I took the money anyway because it was a prestigious foundation.
"It was the largest gift in the Opera's history. I wanted to list the foundation in our group of supporters, so I told myself it would all work out in the end. But I was wrong. It didn't work out. A year later was the only time in 40 years the Opera came close to bankruptcy and all because of a gift I shouldn't have taken."
In such cases, how do you say no in a way that doesn't leave a sour taste in a donor's mouth? Irene was a master at this.
At a dinner party one evening, she was describing an organization for which she volunteered to a slightly inebriated elderly gent.
"Brilliant, brilliant," he'd exclaim every few minutes, often interrupting her in mid-sentence, and then, "I have a great idea how I could help." He launched into a slightly incoherent description of a totally inappropriate idea for a program. I caught Irene's eye and smiled as if to say, "Let's see how you get out of this." Meanwhile the gentleman claimed to have a blank check in his wallet and was prepared to write it out on the spot.
"How wonderful," exclaimed Irene. "You are truly inspired. And I hope someday our organization will have matured to the point where we can accept such a gift. If we took it now, we couldn't possibly do your idea justice. But I can't tell you how grateful I am. You've given me such good ideas to bring back to the board to inspire them and I will mention this at our next meeting."
I don't know whether it is what she said or how she said it (or both), but the irony is that despite turning down the donor's request, Irene received his generous gift anyway.

At CatFoodDB, we calculate two ratings for each product. These values are then combined to create the the overall product score.
The first rating is based on the product's ingredient list. Each cat food product is assigned a value from (low) to (high) paws. Generally speaking, higher ratings are rewarded to those products that contain quality proteins and limit the amount of cheap fillers in their most plentiful ingredients.
The second rating is based on our analysis of the product's published nutritional information. Higher rated products will contain more protein and fewer carbohydrates than average. Each product is assigned a score from to paws based on this nutritional analysis. Please note that the nutritional values used are only an approximation and may not represent "as fed" values due to variations in manufacturing and the laws that specify how these values are reported.
Finally, the nutrition and ingredient ratings are added together to create a score ranging from 1 - 10 paws for the evaluated product.
Please note that although a high score may be indicative of a higher-quality product it is not a guarantee. Similarly, a low score does not necessarily indicate an inferior product. The best food for your cat is the one that meets their individual needs.

Did you hear about the big announcement about Wells Fargo and Xero? Wells Fargo is working with Xero to set up a direct connection between Xero's accounting software and Wells Fargo banking product. What exactly does this new integration mean? And what does this big announcement really mean for the small business owner?
As of now, Wells Fargo (and many other banks) connect with Xero from a third party service called Yodlee. This new integration will take Yodlee out of the picture and will provide a Wells Fargo bank feed directly with Xero instead. The biggest benefit to take away from this is improved security. This is good news because we all want greater security for our sensitive information. A direct connection will also lead to more accurate records in Xero.
Hilary Burns of the Charlotte Business Journal wrote here:
"The San Francisco-based bank compares the new data-sharing method to how some websites, such as Spotify or Airbnb, let users log in with Facebook. The platform eliminates the need for Xero customers to share their Wells Fargo usernames and passwords as well as the need for the software firm to store them in order to retrieve Wells Fargo account data."
This is the first time a big bank in the US is enabling an accounting application to seamlessly access its banking data. This could be the first step to something much bigger. Where will this lead? Perhaps eventually we will be able to have data going back and forth between our bank and our accounting software. Maybe our accounting will become more of an extension of our accounting platform and visa versa. The idea of managing your banking and accounting from one spot is very appealing.
The future is bright for cloud accounting, especially Xero users. At first it may be hard to understand what the big deal was about this "big announcement" but it really means that this could open up much more for us in the future. It's an exciting time to be in the cloud!

Get ready to feel the luck of the Irish in Microgaming's new video slot, Lucky Leprechaun. The game makes an interesting combination of all of the best Irish things in life, including a bit of charm that can hopefully bring a wee bit of gold to your pockets.
Lucky Leprechaun is a 5 reel, 20 payline video slot that features an Irish theme complete with some very Irish symbols such as: pints of Guinness, fiddles, pipes, a leprechaun, a pot of gold, and card symbols (10, Jack, Queen, King, and Ace).
The game's rules allow for punters to win up to 100,000 credits through the free spins feature, which itself is set off when you find a clover scatter symbol on the fifth reel. When this feature is set off all winnings are attached to a 2x multiplier, and the game also has a clover that can be attached to one of the face cards in the game. A green clover gets you an extra free spin, while the gold clover gets you an extra 1x multiplier up to 15x. To make this feature even better, the leprechaun symbol turns wild, potentially netting you some huge wins.
There is another great feature called the Trail 'o Fortune, which is set off when you uncover 3, 4, or 5 pots of gold on the reels, pitting the leprechaun on a path to try to get up to 1000x your total wager. The game sees players spinning a wheel to try to move down the path. If you uncover an emerald you get an extra spin, and scoring a rainbow bridge moves you even further ahead.
All in all, the Lucky Leprechaun video slot is a good game that showcases some of Microgaming's better features to punters.

Williamson century caps New Zealand's come-from-behind win
New Zealand completed a stunning final-day win in Wellington, after Bangladesh slumped to 160 all out in their second innings
New Zealand completed a stunning final-day win in Wellington, after Bangladesh slumped to 160 all out in their second innings
6.10pm Heartbreak for Bangladesh, though. Their first-innings total of 595 for 8 dec is the highest ever in a losing cause. The previous highest - 586 - was in a timeless Test between Australia and England in 1894-95. Their two key men- Mushfiq and Kayes - were down with injuries but they came out to bat and even took blows on the body. But their bowlers - who were either too short or too full - just weren't good enough. Many thanks for tuning in. Do come back for the second Test, starting Friday in Christchurch. That is all we have for you from this Test. Until next time, goodbye.
6.05pm Presentation:
Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh captain: I am feeling much better. Could have been worse. There is some pain, and I will get through it. Obviously disappointing to lose the Test. The bowling let us down and we had some injuries. That could not help us either. The bowling is inexperienced and hopefully they will learn quickly. Hopefully, they will get better in Christchurch. We need to create pressure from both ends with the ball. Really happy for Shakib [for breaking the record for the highest score by a Bangladesh player], this was due for him.
Kane Williamson, the man of the moment and New Zealand captain: Credit to Bangladesh, they put our bowlers under pressure [in the first innings]. We took some control in the second innings; they were unfortunate to lose Mushfiqur to a head injury. At the same time, we were good with the ball. It was damp and everyone was going to bowl[toss?]. Bangladesh to get to 600 was good, their bowlers then kept us honest for a long time. A lot of credit to Latham to get us close to parity in the first innings. Apparently it is a tough seeing ground for catching, at certain points it can be difficult. The hundred is nice,[but] the main thing was to get the partnerships. The partnership with Ross gave us momentum. Chasing 200 [217] and to do it well as a batting unit was all the more pleasing. Our plan was to win the Test for sure. To bowl Bangladesh out on a good surface was a tough thing to do. They [our bowlers] gave us the chance to chase it down.
Tom Latham, Man of the Match: Very pleasing to make a significant contribution. It was nice to bat longer. Those partnerships at the top of the order was crucial and we did not lose wickets in clusters. A couple of dropped catches does not help, but it's a tough seeing ground.
5.49pm Williamson walks back to a rousing reception. Gem of an innings. Oh hello! Mushfiq walks out from the Bangladesh change room and applauds his opposite number; nice to see. He is out of immediate danger after the blow to the head.
Williamson's 89-ball hundred is among the fastest in the fourth innings of a Test. He put up a clinic - no cross-batted shots - just correct cricket shots with precise placement. Taylor provided an excellent supporting hand with his first half-century after the eye surgery. Believe it or not, the third innings of this Test started only after tea on the fourth day. And the weather ate up nearly 50 overs on the first day. One of the finest comeback wins, and it was only fitting that Williamson provided the coup de grâce to delight the Wellington crowd.
around the wicket.
NZ need five for the win, Williamson one for the hundred. Miraz back into the attack. The field is up.
While the short ball that took out Mushfiqur was the most conspicuous aspect of New Zealand's attack in Wellington, Trent Boult has said the reverse swing they achieved was also a valuable addition
Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha has said his team's inexperienced pace attack has to overcome the physical test of playing back-to-back Tests if the team is to compete as hard as it did in Wellington
Kane Williamson credited Tom Latham, and the partnerships built around him in the first innings, for New Zealand's come-from-behind win
The shot Shakib Al Hasan played to be dismissed on day five at Basin Reserve defies explanation. It also prompts a few questions
Fascinating numbers from New Zealand's unbelievable win in Wellington
No. of bigger totals that have ended in a defeat than Bangladesh's 595 in this match. The previous highest was Australia's 586 vs England at SCG In 1894-95.
Williamson's average while chasing in home Tests, with scores of 102*, 56, 31*, 108*, 61, 104*.
Last instance of NZ successfully chasing in excess of 200 in a Test. It was also against Bangladesh at Chittagong when they scored 317/7 to win.
Number of times teams have successfully chased more than 200 runs in Wellington. New Zealand's highest was 215 against India in 1998.
The last time a Bangladesh batsman scored 2 fifty plus scores in an away Test before Shabbir Rahman. Shakib scored 81 and 59 in Harare.
Number of batsman to be dismissed for a double hundred and a duck in a Test match. Shakib was dismissed for a duck after scoring 217 in the first innings.
Number of instances when Bangladesh have taken the lead against New Zealand in 12 Tests.This is the first time they have done it in NZ.
No of catches taken by Imrul Kayes - Most number of catches taken by a substitute keeper in an innings of a Test.
Number of centuries for BJ Watling at the Basin Reserve. In addition to this he has 2 fifties and has been involved in two 300 plus partnerships.
The last time when an opener had scored more than Tom Latham's 177 at the Basin Reserve. DJ Mcglew from SA scored 255 not out
New Zealand openers to have made a Test hundred in 59 Tests at the Basin Reserve. Latham joins Dempster (1 100s), Mills (1) and Wright (3).
First-innings fifties by NZ openers at the Basin Reserve in 26 inns in the last-ten years. Before Latham, Guptill had made 59 v SA in 2012.

Chelsea without Bakayoko and Rudiger for Arsenal friendly in Beijing
Tiemoue Bakayoko and Antonio Rudiger are unavailable to face Arsenal in Beijing in the International Champions Cup as Chelsea jet out to the Chinese city, Goal understands.
Rudiger will return for the matches in Singapore and he will make his debut against either Bayern Munich or Inter Milan, but Bakayoko is injured - despite being officially unveiled by the club last weekend.
Editors' Picks
- The real Ronaldo has returned: Can Inter, Messi or anyone else stop him this season?
- Unstoppable? Liverpool survive adversity - and Adama - to keep rolling on
- Martinelli proves Arsenal transfer strategy should focus on scouting not super agents
- Man Utd flop Solskjaer will be the big loser in Old Trafford blame game
Eden Hazard is also not fit to play after suffering a fractured ankle while on duty with Belgium, and he is a doubt for the start of the Premier League season.
Nemanja Matic and Diego Costa will also be left out of the tour with their futures at the club in doubt, and the likes of Nathan Ake, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Nathaniel Chalobah will replaced by players who were on loan at other clubs last season.
Mario Pasalic, Lewis Baker, Jeremie Boga, Loic Remy and Andreas Christensen are among the names that will jet out to Asia - after a week back in training with their parent club this week at Cobham Training Centre.
Chelsea face Arsenal on July 22 in Beijing's Bird's Nest Stadium, before facing Bayern Munich and Inter in Singapore on July 25 and July 29 respectively. They will then return to England to compete in the Community Shield against Arsenal after winning the Premier League title last season.
Chelsea's squad was subsequently officially announced: Thibaut Courtois, Willy Caballero, Eduardo, Marcin Bulka, Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill, David Luiz, Andreas Christensen, Tomas Kalas, Jake Clarke-Salter, Fikayo Tomori, Marcos Alonso, Victor Moses, Cesc Fabregas, N'Golo Kante, Mario Pasalic, Lewis Baker, Kyle Scott, Pedro, Willian, Kenedy, Charly Musonda Jr, Jeremie Boga, Michy Batshuayi, Loic Remy.

Why You Should Purchase An Accordion From Accordion-O-Rama
For sixty-three years we have provided expert advice on sales,
have a huge selection of new and rebuilt (used accordions that we have gone over
and we offer with a guarantee) accordions, and we give a pre-sales service
to all of our accordions. Most new
accordions need some service in order for them to play properly.
At Accordion-O-Rama, we want to make sure that you get an instrument that
will be trouble-free for years. By
giving a pre-sales service to your accordion, we try to ensure that you have a
trouble-free experience and do not have to return your accordion for factory
service. Nothing is more annoying
than buying a new instrument, having a problem, and having to return it for
factory service. You want to get
your instrument and be able to play it period.
You do not want to have to return it and not have it for a couple of
weeks. Hohner warrantees their
accordions for three months. Accordion-O-Rama
doubles Hohner's warranty from three months to six months (aside from abuse).
We stock the full line of Hohner accordions and in most cases can ship
the same day. Many dealers do not
stock these accordions, never see them, only drop ship them to you.
If the Hohner warehouse is out of stock on an accordion, they may not be
able to ship for weeks. Their prices
may be low, but so is their service. We
have experts in tuning, mechanical repair, and electronic repair.
Accordion-O-Rama can expertly install microphones in your accordion if
you want them. We know how to pack
an accordion properly so that damage is not done to it in transit.
We do not accept orders on the internet because we want to talk to you
and make sure that you are getting the accordion that is right for you.
We have many repeat customers because we are the experts in
SALES, SELECTION, and SERVICE.

Our experienced dentist provides dentures to restore your confident smile. If you have lost many or all the teeth in your upper or lower dental arch, then dentures may be the solution that you have been looking for.
Dentures are a type of removable oral appliance. They consist of prosthetic teeth set into a plastic base and are custom-designed to fit your mouth and give you back a beautiful and natural-looking smile as well as restore your ability to chew and speak normally. Dentures also provide support for your facial tissues to give you a healthier overall appearance. You will meet with our dentist several times while your dentures are being created in order to ensure that they fit and function properly.
There are two main types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used to replace an entire arch of teeth while partial dentures are typically recommended when you have healthy teeth remaining. Partials often use a thin framework or clasps to provide stability for your appliance.
After you have received your dentures, we will provide you with instructions on how to care for them and keep them in good condition. At each of your regular dental appointments, our dentist will check your dentures to ensure that they are in good repair and fit and function properly. When necessary, we will provide denture maintenance and repairs.
For more information about dentures in Orange, California, and to schedule your consultation with our dentist, call OS Dental today at 714.823.3344.

Gamebookers Bonus Code 2020 - Sign up offer worth £50 without a promo code
Last updated & tested: 2020-01-11
How many times have you searched online only to find a flashy advert for a casino's sign up offer? Chances are quite often. But hidden behind the bells and whistles of these offers is usually a huge play through requirement or a complicated list of terms and conditions that restrict gameplay. With Gamebookers, things are different. You won't find any new player Gamebookers sign up bonuses, or have to type in a Gamebookers promo code to get a good deal. Instead, they offer regular promotions for their existing players to keep them entertained. What type of promotions are available at Gamebookers? Take a read of our Gamebookers review to find out what's on offer.
Unfortunately Gamebookers have withdrawn their welcome bonus, but the Betway special offer for new customers is even better!
Enjoy great bonuses without using a Gamebookers bonus code
Gamebookers love to add lots of offers and promotions to their site regularly. So, whether you're a fan of sports betting or casino games are more your thing, there is a Gamebookers bonus for you. There's no Gamebookers sign up offer at the moment. Instead, players can take part in the Casino Happy Days – a promotion that offers a special bonus every single day.
As part of this cracking promotion, new and existing players who take advantage of Twin Spin on Monday will have their winnings boosted by 50%, up to a maximum of €20. Love table games? Play roulette on a Tuesday with peace of mind. If you lose, you'll be given 10% of your wagers back up to a max of €50. It's back to the slots on Wednesday with the Fruit Shop slot. You'll be given 50% cashback of up to €25. But that's not all. Thursday is Blackjack Pro day. If you'd like to think you're a dab hand at blackjack, how about playing a few hands? Any winnings will be boosted by 25% up to a maximum of €20.
Lastly, embrace the site's vivid casino experience with the Live Casino Weekend bonus! This plays through between Friday and Sunday and you'll receive 10% cashback of your net losses up to a max of €50. Remember these offers are available every week, and there are no Gamebookers bonus codes UK customers need in order to take advantage of the deals.
The Gamebookers sign up offer – all you need to know
There may not be a Gamebookers sign up offer available, but the bookmaker more than makes up for it with other promotions. And not one of them needs a Gamebookers bonus code! The offers are simple to use and bonuses hit your account quickly. Say, for example, you choose to play on Twin Spins on a Monday. The bonus amount is calculated the day after and the bonus hits your account a week later. All the bonuses are subject to a 10x playthrough requirement, but you should easily hit that with the wide selection of slot, casino and live casino games available.
Overall rating
50% cashback - no Gamebookers bonus code 2020
While most bookmakers try to tempt in new customers, Gamebookers like to foster loyalty with their bonuses. These are available to everyone, so there's no Gamebookers bonus code for existing customers or new players, just great offers for those who love great value. They may not offer huge sums like some bookmaker bonuses out there, but they reset on a weekly basis, meaning you can take advantage of the deals time and time again. A great alternative to just offering a one-time Gamebookers sign up bonus.

How to avoid common betting problems
Max out your bonus – no Gamebookers promo code needed!
Make plans and stick to them
Betting strategies need careful planning to get the best results. Before placing a bet, it's important to decide what market you're going to bet on. This needs to be a market you're familiar with. There is no point using your bankroll on baccarat, for example, if you've never played it in your life and don't know the rules. It's also a good idea to see if any bonuses or Gamebookers offer codes are available to help you stretch your budget. These might influence the type of bets you place, and possibly the figure you deposit into your account. Your strategy should also take odds into account. Do you prefer little wins often? Then singles bets may be for you. But if you're always chasing those huge cash sums, consider an accumulator bet. Do bear in mind that odds are higher with these types of bets. Rewards, however, are often much greater.
Fall in love with in-play betting
You've probably heard of in-play betting, which allows you to bet on sporting events while they're happening. This makes it possible to take advantage of your sporting knowledge and the site's shifting odds to get the best deals around. Imagine betting on Manchester United to win 2-1 against Crystal Palace before the game starts. Now imagine placing the bet after they've gone 1-0 down to Palace in the game's opening minutes. Man Utd's odds will widen to account for the goal scored against them, so placing a bet when the team is losing will return higher winnings. By betting in-play you don't need to add a Gamebookers bonus code. Just watch the odds fluctuate and place your bet when you're ready to do so. You can even cash out early if the odds are in your favour. No more hoping results stay the same or waiting around for sporting events to finish.

The DIDACHE
DIDACHE (c. 80-90)
The Didache is probably the oldest patristic document. Its full titleoriginally was, "The Lord's Instruction to the
Gentiles Through the TwelveApostles." The author and place of origin are unknown. In fact the workitself was discovered
only at the end of the last century. The place oforigin of the little book was probably Syria, though Egypt is not entirelyout
of question because of its popularity there. It was written some yearsbefore the end of the first century. This is indicated
by the makeup ofthe Church when it was written. It is not impossible that some of thematerials of the work derive
from the apostles and that several olderpieces were brought together in its composition. There are four sectionsin
the little work: a moral catechesis on "The Two Ways," a liturgicalinstruction on baptism, fasting, prayer, and the Eucharist,
on bishops anddeacons (priests are not mentioned), on Sunday worship, and aneschatological treatise.The catechesis
on "The Two Ways" sets forth Christian ideals of life andthe evils of paganism. Baptism is by immersion although infusion
is validin case of necessity. The form of baptism is trinitarian. Wednesday andFriday are days to fast and the Lord's
prayer is to be said thrice daily.A Eucharistic prayer is reproduced, though the actual celebration of thesacrament
is not described because of the "discipline of the secret." Somehave referred this prayer to the Agape but without compelling
reason. Arecently discovered fragment of doubtful authenticity adds a prayer forthe consecration of oil used
in baptism and confirmation after theEucharistic prayer. The Eucharist is a sacrifice and is to be preceded bya confession
of sins, as is Sunday worship.The disciplinary section deals with the regulation of charismatic gifts,charity,
and charitable works, prophets, teachers apostles, and otherdetails that give a good insight into the life of the primitive
Christiancommunity. The whole work is concluded by a short eschatologicaldiscourse. The "Didache" contains the oldest
collection of canon law andserved as a basis for later disciplinary works such as the "Didascalia"and Book VII of
the "Apostolic Constitutions."
THE WAY OF LIFE1. There are two Ways: a Way of Life and a Way of Death, and thedifference between these two Ways
is great.The Way of Life is this: "Thou shalt love first the Lord thy Creator, andsecondly thy neighbour as thyself;
and thou shalt do nothing to any manthat thou wouldst not wish to be done to thyself."What you may learn from
these words is to bless them that curse you, topray for your enemies, and to fast for your persecutors. For where
is themerit in loving only those who return your love? Even the heathens do asmuch as that. But if you love
those who hate you, you will have nobody tobe your enemy.Beware of the carnal appetites of the body. If someone
strikes you on theright cheek, turn the other one to him as well, and perfection will beyours. Should anyone compel
you to go a mile, go another one with him. Ifsomeone takes away your coat, let him have your shirt too. If someoneseizes
anything belonging to you, do not ask for it back again (you couldnot get it, anyway). Give to everyone that asks,
without looking for anyrepayment, for it is the Father's pleasure that we should share Hisgracious bounty with all
men. A giver who gives freely, as the commandmentdirects, is blessed; no fault can be found with him. But woe to the taker;for
though he cannot be blamed for taking if he was in need, yet if he wasnot, an account will be required of him as to why
he took it, and for whatpurpose, and he will be taken into custody and examined about his action,and he will not get
out until he has paid the last penny. The old sayingis in point here: "Let your alms grow damp with sweat in your hand,
untilyou know who it is you are giving them to.2. The second commandment in the Teaching means: Commit no murder,adultery,
sodomy, fornication, or theft. Practise no magic, sorcery,abortion, or infanticide. See that you do not covet anything
yourneighbour possesses, and never be guilty of perjury, false witness,slander, or malice. Do not equivocate in thought
or speech, for a doubletongue is a deadly snare; the words you speak should not be false or emptyphrases, but fraught
with purposeful action. You are not to be avariciousor extortionate, and you must resist any temptation to hypocrisy,spitefulness,
or superiority. You are to have no malicious designs on aneighbour. You are to cherish no feelings of hatred for anybody;
some youare to reprove, some to pray for, and some again to love more than yourown life.3. Keep away from
every bad man, my son, and from all his kind. Nevergive way to anger, for anger leads to homicide. Likewise refrain
fromfanaticism, quarrelling, and hot-temperedness, for these too can breedhomicide.Beware of lust, my son,
for lust leads to fornication. Likewise refrainfrom unclean talk and the roving eye, for these too can breed adultery.Do
not be always looking for omens, my son, for this leads to idolatry.Likewise have nothing to do with witchcraft, astrology,
or magic; do noteven consent to be a witness of such practices, for they too can all breedidolatry.Tell no
lies, my son, for lying leads to theft. Likewise do not beover-anxious to be rich or to be admired, for these too can
breedthievishness.Do not be a grumbler, my son, for this leads to blasphemy. Likewise donot be too opinionated,
and do not harbour thoughts of wickedness, forthese too can breed blasphemy.Learn to be meek, for the meek are
to inherit the earth. School yourselfto forbearance, compassion, guilelessness, calmness, and goodness; andnever forget
to respect the teaching you have had.Do not parade your own merits, or allow yourself to behave presumptuously,and
do not make a point of associating with persons of eminence, butchoose the companionship of honest and humble folk.Accept
as good whatever experience comes your way, in the knowledge thatnothing can happen without God.4. By day and
by night, my son, remember him who speaks the word of God toyou. Give him the honour you would give the Lord; for wherever
the Lord'sattributes are the subject of discourse, there the Lord is present.Frequent the company of the saints daily,
so as to be edified by theirconversation. Never encourage dissensions, but try to make peace betweenthose who are
at variance. Judge with justice, reprove without fear orfavour, and never be in two minds about your decisions.Do
not be like those who reach out to take, but draw back when the timecomes for giving. If the labour of your hands has
been productive, yourgiving will be a ransom for sins. Give without hesitating and withoutgrumbling, and you will
see Whose generosity will requite you. Never turnaway the needy; share all your possessions with your brother, and do
notclaim that anything is your own. If you and he are joint participators inthings immortal, how much more so in things
that are mortal?You are not to withhold your hand from your son or daughter, but to bringthem up in the fear of
God from their childhood.Never speak sharply when giving orders to male or female domestics whosetrust is in the
same God as yours; otherwise they may cease to fear Himwho is over you both. He has not come to call men according to
their rank,but those for whom He has prepared the Spirit. And you, servants, obeyyour masters with respectfulness
and fear, as the representatives of God.Hate all impiety and everything that does not please the Lord. See thatyou
do not neglect the commandments of the Lord, but keep them just as youreceived them, without any additions or subtractions
of your own.In church, make confession of your faults, and do not come to your prayerswith a bad conscience.That
is the Way of Life.
The Way of Death5 . The Way of Death is this. To begin with, it is evil, and in every wayfraught with damnation.
In it are murders, adulteries, lusts,fornications, thefts, idolatries, witchcraft, sorceries, robberies,perjuries,
hypocrisies, duplicities, deceit, pride, malice, self-will,avarice, foul language, jealousy, insolence, arrogance, and
boastfulness.Here are those who persecute good men, hold truth in abhorrence, and lovefalsehood; who do not know of
the rewards of righteousness, nor adhere towhat is good, nor to just judgement; who lie awake planning wickednessrather
than well- doing. Gentleness and patience are beyond theirconception; they care for nothing good or useful, and are bent
only ontheir own advantage, without pity for the poor or feeling for thedistressed. Knowledge of their Creator
is not in them; they make awaywith their infants and deface God's image; they turn away the needy andoppress the afflicted;
they aid and abet the rich but arbitrarily condemnthe poor; they are utterly and altogether sunk in iniquity. Flee, mychildren,
from all this!
Conclusion6. Take care that nobody tempts you away from the path of this Teaching,for such a man's tuition can
have nothing to do with God. If you canshoulder the Lord's yoke in its entirety, then you will be perfect; but ifthat
is too much for you, do as much as you can.As regards diet, keep the rules so far as you are able; only be careful
torefuse anything that has been offered to an idol, for that is the worshipof dead gods.
Of Baptism7. The procedure for baptizing is as follows. After repeating all that hasbeen said, immerse in running
water "In the Name of the Father, and of theSon, and of the Holy Ghost". If no running water is available, immerse inordinary
water. This should be cold if possible; otherwise warm. Ifneither is practicable, then pour water three times on the head
"In theName of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost". Both baptizerand baptized ought to fast before
the baptism, as well as any others whocan do so; but the candidate himself should be told to keep a fast for aday
or two beforehand.
Of Fast-Days and Prayer8. Do not keep the same fast-days as the hypocrites. Mondays and Thursdaysare their days
for fasting, so yours should be Wednesdays and Fridays.Your prayers, too, should be different from theirs. Pray as
the Lordenjoined in His Gospel, thus: Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed bethy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will
be done, As in heaven, so on earth;Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debt as we forgiveour debtors,
And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from the EvilOne, For thine is the power and the glory for ever and ever.Say
this prayer three times every day.
Of the Eucharist9. At the Eucharist, offer the eucharistic prayer in this way. Begin withthe chalice: "We give
thanks to thee, our Father, for the holy Vine of thyservant David, which thou hast made known to us through thy servant
Jesus."Glory be to thee, world without end ."Then over the broken bread: "We give thanks to thee, our Father,
for thelife and knowledge thou hast made known to us through thy servant Jesus.""Glory be to thee, world without
end .""As this broken bread, once dispersed over the hills, was brought togetherand became one loaf, so may thy
Church be brought together from the endsof the earth into thy kingdom.""Thine is the glory and the power, through
Jesus Christ, for ever andever."No one is to eat or drink of your Eucharist but those who have beenbaptized
in the Name of the Lord; for the Lord's own saying applies here,"Give not that which is holy unto dogs."10. When
all have partaken sufficiently, give thanks in these words:"Thanks be to thee, holy Father, for thy sacred Name which
thou hastcaused to dwell in our hearts, and for the knowledge and faith andimmortality which thou hast revealed to
us through thy servant Jesus.""Glory be to thee for ever and ever.""Thou, O Almighty Lord, hast created all
things for thine own Name's sake;to all men thou hast given meat and drink to enjoy, that they may givethanks to thee,
but to us thou hast graciously given spiritual meat anddrink, together with life eternal, through thy Servant. Especially,
andabove all, do we give thanks to thee for the mightiness of thy power.""Glory be to thee for ever and ever.""Be
mindful of thy Church, O Lord; deliver it from all evil, perfect it inthy love, sanctify it, and gather it from the four
winds into the kingdomwhich thou hast prepared for it.""Thine is the power and the glory for ever and ever.""Let
Grace come, and this present world pass away.""Hosanna to the God of David.""Whosoever is holy, let him approach.
Whoso is not, let him repent.""Maranatha. Amen."(Prophets, however, should be free to give thanks as they
Of Apostles and Prophets11. If anyone comes and instructs you on the foregoing lines, make himwelcome. But should
the instructor himself then turn round and introduceteaching of a different and subversive nature, pay no attention to
him. Ifit aims at promoting righteousness and knowledge of the Lord, though,welcome him as you would the Lord.As
regards apostles and prophets, according to the Gospel directions thisis how you are to act. Every apostle who comes to
you should be welcomedas the Lord, but he is not to stay more than a day, or two days if it isreally necessary. If
he stays for three days, he is a false prophet. Andan apostle at his departure should accept nothing but as much provisionsas
will last him to his next night's lodging. If he asks for money, he isa false prophet.While a prophet is uttering
words in the spirit, you are on no account tosubject him to any tests or verifications; every sin shall be forgiven,but
this sin shall not be forgiven. Nevertheless, not all who speak in thespirit are prophets, unless they also exhibit the
manners and conduct ofthe Lord. It is by their behaviour that you can tell the impostor from thetrue. Thus, if a prophet
should happen to call out for something to eatwhile he is in the spirit, he will not actually eat of it; if he does, heis
a fraud. Also, even supposing a prophet is sound enough in histeaching, yet if his deeds do not correspond with his words
he is animpostor. Or again, a prophet, thoroughly accredited and genuine, livingthe mystery of the Church in the world,
may yet fail to teach others tocopy his example. In that case, you are not to judge the man yourselves;his judgement
lies with God. The prophets of old used to do things of asimilar kind.If any prophet, speaking in the spirit,
says, "Give me money (or anythingelse)", do not listen to him. On the other hand, if he bids you give it tosomeone
else who is in need, nobody should criticize him.12. Everyone who comes "in the Name of the Lord" is to be made welcome,though
later on you must test him and find out about him. You will be ableto distinguish the true from the false. If the newcomer
is only passingthrough, give him all the help you can - though he is not to stay morethan a couple of days with you,
or three if it is unavoidable. But if hewants to settle down among you, and is a skilled worker, let him findemployment
and earn his bread. If he knows no trade, use your discretionto make sure that he does not live in idleness simply on
the strength ofbeing a Christian. Unless he agrees to this, he is only trying to exploitChrist. You must be on your
guard against men of that sort.13. A genuine prophet, however, who wishes to make his home with you has aright
to a livelihood. (Similarly, a genuine teacher is as much entitledto his keep as a manual labourer.) You are therefore
to take the firstproducts of your winepress, your threshing-floor, your oxen and yoursheep, and give them as first-
fruits to the prophets, for nowadays it isthey who are your "High Priests". If there is no prophet among you, givethem
to the poor. And when you bake a batch of loaves, take the first ofthem and give it away, as the commandment directs.
Similarly when youbroach a jar of wine or oil, take the first portion to give to theprophets. So, too, with your money,
and your clothing, and all yourpossessions; take a tithe of them in whatever way you think best, and makea gift of
it, as the commandment bids you.
Of Sunday Worship14. Assemble on the Lord's Day, and break bread and offer the Eucharist;but first make confession
of your faults, so that your sacrifice may be apure one. Anyone who has a difference with his fellow is not to take partwith
you until they have been reconciled, so as to avoid any profanationof your sacrifice. For this is the offering of which
the Lord has said,"Everywhere and always bring me a sacrifice that is undefiled, for I am agreat king, says the Lord,
and my name is the wonder of nations."
Of Local Officials15 . You must choose for yourselves bishops and deacons who are worthy ofthe Lord: men who are
humble and not eager for money, but sincere andapproved; for they are carrying out the ministry of the prophets and theteachers
for you. Do not esteem them lightly, for they take an honourablerank among you along with the prophets and teachers.Reprove
one another, but peaceably and not in hot blood, as you are toldin the Gospel. But have no converse with anyone who has
done his neighbouran injury; let that man not hear a single word from you until he repents.In your prayers, your
almsgiving, and everything you do, be guided by whatyou read in the Gospel of our Lord.
Eschatology16. Be watchful over your life; never let your lamps go out or your loinsbe ungirt, but keep yourselves
always in readiness, for you can never besure of the hour when our Lord may be coming. Come often together forspiritual
improvement; because all the past years of your faith will be nogood to you at the end, unless you have made yourselves
perfect. In thelast days of the world false prophets and deceivers will abound, sheepwill be perverted and turn into
wolves, and love will change to hate, forwith the growth of lawlessness men will begin to hate their fellows andpersecute
them and betray them. Then the Deceiver of the World will showhimself, pretending to be a Son of God and doing signs and
wonders, andthe earth will be delivered into his hands, and he will work suchwickedness as there has never been since
the beginning. After that, allhumankind will come up for their fiery trial; multitudes of them willstumble and perish,
but such as remain steadfast in the faith will besaved by the Curse. And then the signs of the truth will appear: first
thesign of the opening heavens, next the sign of the trumpet's voice, andthirdly the rising of the dead - not of all
the dead, but, as it says,"the Lord win come, and with him all his holy ones." And then the wholeworld will see the
Lord as He comes riding on the clouds of heaven . . .
