The Ugga Bugga slots game can be found at Playtech casinos. Playtech do not publish the house edge of their games, however several established Playtech casinos have started releasing this information and on the CasinoMeister forum, the Boyle Casino Manager confirmed that Playtech slots games are not configurable at the operators end. As such, it is possible to identify that the house edge of Ugga Bugga however, due to the nature of the game Ugga Booga has several possible house edge values; playing max coins using the optimal strategy the house edge is 0.93%, playing less than max coins with optimal strategy the house edge is 1.26%, however unlike Tropic Reels there does not appear to be any information on the average skill level player's house edge.
A fantastic slots/strategy combination.
Ugga Bugga had 3 reels, 10 paylines and you can bet one coin on each of the paylines.
The 'Wild' symbol is wild.
There is only one bonus feature when playing Ugga Bugga. When you first hit the spin button, only the bottom set of reels in the left hand column is spun. You are then given the option to hold certain symbols, any symbols you hold on the first set of reels will be held on all ten sets of reels. When you next hit the spin button all ten sets of reels will spin with the symbols you selected held in place. This ability to pick and choose which symbols are discarded and which are held means that this game is strategy based and as such there is a mathematically correct decision with any given set of symbols. Unfortunately at the present time we are unaware of the optimal strategy.
What a fantastic game! Unfortunately unlike Tropic Reels, Ugga Bugga doesn't provide information on the average strategy house edge, but given that game is very similar to Tropic Reels it is likely that the house edge could be close to that of Tropic Reels and as the gameplay is very similar and fair guess would be around 3%. Remember to always play max coins!

Following a dominant run through the group stage of the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship — also known as the CONCACAF Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament — that culminated with a 7-0 demolition of Trinidad and Tobago in Cary, N.C., the U.S. women's national soccer team is on the cusp of qualification for the 2019 World Cup. The U.S. will punch a ticket to France with a win in the semifinal on Sunday, and considering the dominant run the USWNT has been on in 2018, odds are they'll finish the job without breaking much of a sweat.
The win over Trinidad and Tobago is only the latest in a line of qualifying beatdowns the USWNT has laid on opponents in the last few weeks. The U.S. opened the group a week ago with a 6-0 stomping of rival Mexico. That victory was followed up with a 5-0 win over Panama, which secured a spot for the U.S. in the semifinal. Lest you think this dominance is a recent development and only came because the competition was a bunch of CONCACAF minnows, the U.S. is 18-0-2 in 2018 with wins over Germany, England, Japan and Brazil. In fact, the Americans are unbeaten in their last 24 matches with a record of 21-0-3 while outscoring opponents 83-17 during that stretch.
With the 2019 Women's World Cup less than a year away, it's clear that these women aren't fooling around. Winning consecutive Women's World Cup — something the U.S. has never achieved despite being the preeminent force in the sport — is not just possible, it seems likely. Although the level of competition will ratchet up a few notches when it leaves the dregs of CONCACAF, the top-ranked USWNT will be more talented — and, just as importantly, much deeper —than every team it will face from now until after the World Cup.
USWNT head coach made the most of the squad's deep bench, making nine changes between each game in the group stage. However, Ellis did deploy the same 11 against Mexico and Panama, a lineup that has the look and feel of the first-choice team she'll use in the first match in France.
The central defensive pairing of Becky Sauerbrunn and Abby Dahlkemper is one of sturdiest in the world, while marauding fullbacks Crystal Dunn and Kelly O'Hara bring not only defensive solidity but also a healthy helping of attacking flair. (Dunn scored against Trinidad.) The central midfield trio of Lindsey Horan, Julie Ertz and Rose Lavelle has all the patience and skill to dictate tempo from the center of the pitch and spray balls wide to Megan Rapinoe and Tobin Heath. In total, that midfield fivesome scored eight goals in the two matches they started together.
If you had all those pieces and a plank of wood playing striker, you'd probably still have a really good team. But the USWNT has Alex Morgan, who is definitely not a plank of wood. Morgan gives the U.S. that extra something at the point of attack that sends this 11 over the top. Morgan nabbed a brace against Trinidad, including the opener in the ninth minute and now has 21 goals in her last 22 matches.
With nine changes from a side that outscored its opposition 13-0 in two matches, you'd think a so-called USWNT "B-team" would be a major step down. But with almost an entirely different lineup than those two matches, the USWNT still defeated Panama 5-0. It helps when the players for that "B-Team" include veterans such as Christen Press and Carli Lloyd, who bagged a hat-trick in the win.
The only players who played in both matches were Dahlkemper and Ertz, which speaks to their significance to the team. Specifically Ertz, who earned Woman of the Match honors against Trinidad. Just as Lloyd was the central cog in the USWNT's 2015 World Cup run, Ertz will be charged with driving the team from the center of the pitch in 2019. So far she appears up to the challenge. Although she didn't get involved in the scoring herself, Ertz was involved in the creation of multiple goals against Trinidad.
All that's left for the USWNT now is to finish off qualification. It can do that on Sunday in Frisco, Texas against an opponent to be determined on Thursday night. Unless something crazy happens, the USWNT should avoid fifth-ranked Canada in the semifinal and face either Costa Rica or Jamaica, both pushover compared to this mighty American side, which should make qualification a breeze. A showdown with Canada in the final would provide a needed test of mettle, although the match wouldn't actually count for anything other than bragging rights as each team will have secured qualification by that point. If the unthinkable happens and the U.S. loses in the semifinal, it'll have one final shot at qualifying in the third-place game.
But, most likely, the USWNT will dominate whoever it plays on Sunday then dominate Canada in the final next Wednesday. This squad is just too good to lose any matches of real importance before the real tests come next summer in France. And the scary part is, the players think they can be even better.
"I think the awesome thing is we know that we still haven't reached our full potential," Lavelle said, according to the Associated Press. "I think that's really exciting going into the next game. We just want to build on this and play even better than we did this game."

Besides the incredible music contained within the sleeve, the album cover was also considered quite revolutionary. Perhaps best known for its unusual montage of photos on the front cover, it was also the first album in history to print the lyrics on the back album cover.
The United States was indirectly involved with the six day war currently raging between Israel and its Arab neighbors when Israeli airplanes attacked the USS Liberty in the Mediterranean Sea, killing 34 US Navy crewmen. Israel later apologized, calling the incident "a tragic mistake" due to their misidentification of the ship.

After being dragged through the streets of King's Landing by a mad pirate king in Sunday's night's Game of Thrones, we decided to check in on Gemma Whelan and see how she's doing. The actress has played Yara Greyjoy across five seasons on the HBO hit, and her Ironborn warrior currently finds herself in rather dire straits — captured by Cersei and seemingly abandoned by her brother Theon (Alfie Allen). Below, Whelan took our questions about her recent episodes (the answers to some of which have appeared on EW.com previously).
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Most Game of Thrones fans probably wouldn't have guessed you have a stand-up comedy and comedic acting background. Is it a fun to shift into a serious character?
GEMMA WHELAN: I was doing a lot of comedy but I always wanted to do serious drama as well and it's quite hard when you're working in comedy and have a comedy agent to even be invited into the drama room. The casting for GoT came about because I was at a comedy casting and the casting director was also on Thrones, Robert Sterne along with Nina Gold, and he said, "I have something that you might be perfect for that I'm casting next week" — and that was Game of Thrones. I was literally in the right place at the right time even though it was a comedy casting. And of course, when I heard it was this huge HBO drama, I thought, "This is never going to be my first drama, I have no chance, I'll never get this, but I'm delighted to be invited into the room." So I was quite relaxed because I thought I never had a chance. So I was very lucky. And from there on, I was considered for other dramas and have continued in comedy as well.
I feel like your character is one that fans always want to have at least a little more of each season than they typically get.
Me too! [Laughs.] I think I did really well in season 6 though. I was thrilled that I had loads to do last year. Maybe less is more? I'm really lucky to get what I'm given in such a packed show. To be a part of these story lines is a huge honor — even if it's just one line while I'm looking scared in the background. [Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss] told me when I was cast that Yara becomes a greater part of the show in the later story lines but not so much in the beginning. They're really men of their word, what they said was going to happen has happened.
How do fans tend to react when they recognize you?
It's so, so rare that I'm recognized! But when I do, it's really nice. First, they have to check because they never know for sure it's me. Then they ask for a picture, but they're really nice. Maybe they ask for a spoiler. It's very exciting when it happens. They say I've made their day, but I think they've made my day! It actually works both ways.

Let's talk about "Stormborn" and "The Queen's Justice." First the former: What was it like shooting that cabin scene with Indira Varma?
I loved it! Indira is one of the sexiest people, we had a lovely time. Indira and I were quite fearless, we just went for it. Actually, initially, in that scene, it was meant to be her kissing Alfie. Then it [changed]. It wasn't directed that we would kiss. It just seemed like something we should do. We led it, very much so. It was meant to be a suggestion [of flirting] and then it became more sexual than we expected because it seemed right. There was only a skeleton crew working because the rig could only take so much weight, so we were left very much on our own. And who wouldn't want to kiss Indira? I mean, come on!
And the crew is like, "Um, should we just go?"
It was filmed on a rig at Titanic Studios. It can only take so much weight so only a few people were let on board. So we were very much on our own on the ship, the three of us. The magic of TV. I think it's a wonderful scene and amusing as well — like that look from Yara to Theon that says a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. And then things go t–s up, to use an appropriate expression.
And what was it like shooting the battle scene?
It was extraordinary to film, with Mark Mylod directing it. They can storyboard in it in live animation and can show you what they're planning, and it's all really precisely planned in full 3D action animation and he talks you through the whole sequence, then we pick it up shot by shot, moment by moment. We rehearse our fight sequences very slowly in a clean tidy environment with no costumes. It's very easy. But on set, there's fire flying everywhere, the deck is really wet, there are these incredible stuntmen running around. Pilou and I worked together carefully to make sure we didn't hurt one another. I also had a fantastic stunt double to do a couple of the bits that weren't convincing for me to do.

How did you feel about Theon abandoning Yara to their uncle?
It's such a shame, but it's such a beautiful, heart-wrenching twist! We think Yara has managed to get Theon back, they had all these scenes of solidarity and comradery in season 6. It seems like he's back, then there's that wavering, faltering moment that Alfie plays so beautifully. Yara's just willing him, "No, no, stay with me." It's just so heartbreaking!
Moving onto "The Queen's Justice," where you do a variation on Cersei's Walk of Shame, only not nude–
— and being dragged through the streets on a leash by Euron.
Yeah, she's just being humiliated. My reaction to that was he could have done something far sicker to her. It's quite tame to just drag her through the streets for a man of Euron's psychopathy. I didn't really overthink it, it just seemed like an appropriate thing for him to do. Euron's gotta get his comeuppance.
We're never going to see Indira Varma's character Ellaria Sand again now that she's been thrown in the Black Cells. Is it possible we'll never see Yara again either?
I hope Theon will come and rescue her. But who knows?

This proposal describes a five year program for a clinical research based career in Infectious Diseases. The candidate, Mini Kamboj MD, an Instructor in Medicine and Associate-Director of Hospital Infection Control will conduct the program under the supervision of Dr. Kent Sepkowitz, Professor of Medicine, and Director of the Infection Control Program at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), to study the role of novel risk factors for a multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) Vancomycin resistant enterococcus (VRE).These infections are more common in persons with cancer and result in devastating outcomes and greater resource utilization. The study will be conducted at MSKCC, one of the largest programs of clinical research in the world. The candidate has enlisted an advisory committee of esteemed leaders in the field of microbial pathogenesis, infection control and genome based testing for guidance and advice during this program. The proposal is guided by the hypothesis that many anti-cancer drugs have anti microbial properties and therefore are likely to influence gastrointestinal flora including the microbial burden (density) of VRE. We also hypothesize that a change in density of VRE in turn has an effect on clinical outcome. To examine this hypothesis we propose to (1)Determine VRE density in stool in 50 cancer patients at MSKCC using a new quantitative PCR assay and standard microbiologic techniques (2) Determine the effect of commonly used chemotherapeutic agents with strong antimicrobial activity, (5-Fluorouracil and Methotrexate) upon density of VRE among colonized individuals. (3) Determine the predictive value of VRE density determined by standard techniques and quantitative PCR on clinical outcome, including mortality and resource utilization, among patients with cancer at highest risk for invasive VRE disease. The candidate's immediate goal is to develop into an independent clinical investigator in patient-oriented clinical research with a focus on hospital acquired infections in persons with cancer and long term goal is to implement studies on devising and testing therapeutic approaches including decolonizing and other control strategies for MDRO's that are common in the cancer population. Hospital-acquired infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in persons with cancer. In this population, colonization and infection with vancomycin-resistant enterococci are more common. The studies in this proposal will provide novel insight into common but previously unrecognized risk factors for VRE in persons with cancer and provide a basis for devising and testing control strategies against this multi-drug resistant organism.

Air traffic controllers at Washington's Reagan National Airport fail to notify the Pentagon and a nearby Army airfield about an unidentified aircraft, later determined to be Flight 77, which they are tracking as it approaches the capital. [US Army Center for Military History, 11/14/2001 ; 9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 33] Controllers Call Secret Service but Not Military - Controllers in the Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) at Reagan National Airport are aware of the unidentified, fast-moving aircraft that is approaching the White House from at least as early as 9:33 a.m. (see (9:33 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/17/2001 ; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 9, 39; Spencer, 2008, pp. 145-146] (However, those in the airport's control tower possibly only learn of it slightly later (see (9:36 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [Spencer, 2008, pp. 158] ) Although a supervisor at the TRACON promptly alerts the Secret Service at the White House to the aircraft (see (9:33 a.m.) September 11, 2001), none of the Reagan Airport controllers contact the Pentagon or the nearby Davison Army Airfield about it. [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/17/2001 ; US Army Center for Military History, 11/14/2001 ] Aviation Unit Located near Pentagon - Davison Army Airfield is located at Fort Belvoir, an Army base 12 miles south of the Pentagon. The airfield's principal missions include maintaining "a readiness posture in support of contingency plans," exercising "operational control" of the local airspace, and providing "aviation support for the White House, US government officials, Department of Defense, Department of the Army, and other government agencies." The 12th Aviation Battalion, which is the aviation support unit for the Military District of Washington, is stationed at Davison Airfield. The battalion operates UH-1 "Huey" and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. [Pentagram, 5/7/1999; Military District of Washington, 8/2000] Its airfield operations unit—Davison Airfield Management—operates and maintains the heliport at the Pentagon. [Soldiers Magazine, 7/2006] Tower Supervisor Unhappy - The supervisor of air traffic control currently working in the control tower at Davison Airfield will be unhappy about the failure of the Reagan Airport controllers to alert his unit or the Pentagon to the approaching aircraft. He will voice his complaints when he later talks to one of those controllers. The supervisor will later recall: "I was asking him, 'Did you know that the aircraft was coming this way?' And he said: 'Yes. We were tracking him for so many miles.'" Controller: 'It Never Occurred to Me' to Call Military - The supervisor will ask the controller: "Why you didn't say anything to Davison? Why you didn't say anything to the Pentagon? Because if you would have said something, my controller at the Pentagon would have called the DPS unit," meaning the Defense Protective Service, which guards the Pentagon, "and it would have alerted them that there was something coming to Washington, DC, an aircraft with hostile intentions or something." The controller will reply, "Well, you know what, it never occurred to me," and say, "we didn't know that he was going to hit the Pentagon." [US Army Center for Military History, 11/14/2001 ]

Jacqueline Kidd and Sean Boger. [Source: Jennifer Lilly]The air traffic controller and his assistant in the control tower at the Pentagon's heliport are concerned that they are in a prime location for another terrorist attack, and discuss the possibility of a plane crashing into the Pentagon. [Pentagram, 11/16/2001; Fort Belvoir News, 1/18/2002; Creed and Newman, 2008, pp. 21] The controller, Sean Boger, a civilian who is working for the Army, and his assistant, Army Specialist Jacqueline Kidd, are working in the control tower located between the Pentagon and its heliport, from where they direct helicopter landings and departures. [Goldberg et al., 2007, pp. 27; Creed and Newman, 2008, pp. 21] They have seen the reports on television about the planes hitting the World Trade Center, and so realize that a terrorist attack is taking place. [Pentagram, 11/16/2001; Fort Belvoir News, 1/18/2002] Controllers Discuss Possibility of Crash at Pentagon - Kidd will later recall that, after seeing the second crash on television, she and Boger begin "discussing the possibility of if it was a terrorist attack, and how we were at a prime spot to be hit. We started talking about that immediately." She will add that Boger mentions to her that the flight path of Reagan National Airport, which is about a mile away, "comes right by the Pentagon, and I said, 'Oh, yeah.' And he said, 'They can do the same thing to us.'" However, Kidd and Boger reportedly talk "casually" about the possibility of a plane hitting the Pentagon, "without seriously feeling threatened." [Fort Belvoir News, 1/18/2002] According to other accounts, Boger wonders aloud why no airliner has ever hit the Pentagon, considering how close it is to Reagan Airport. [Goldberg et al., 2007, pp. 27] Kidd tells him, "You've been saying that for three years," and he responds, "Yeah, you're right." [Creed and Newman, 2008, pp. 21] Reportedly, Boger is "talking about an accident, not a terrorist attack." [Pentagram, 11/16/2001] Controller Discusses Concerns with Supervisor at Airfield - Boger also calls the control tower at Davison Army Airfield, which is about 12 miles south of the Pentagon, around this time, and discusses his concerns with the supervisor of air traffic control there. Boger works for the supervisor's unit and has already called the supervisor to alert him to the attacks in New York. Boger now tells the supervisor how worried he is "that an aircraft can just easily do that," presumably referring to the possibility of a plane crashing into the Pentagon. He also says, "I don't know what I'm going to do if I see a plane coming like that towards—towards us." The supervisor will later comment, "I always was aware of that, of how close some aircraft would fly over the facility… and how easy it would be for somebody to kind of storm the small tower." The supervisor tells Boger that if he sees an airplane heading his way, "what you do is you grab [Kidd] and get out of the building, and just go towards Route 27," the road in front of the heliport area. [US Army Center for Military History, 11/14/2001 ] However, while personnel like Boger, Kidd, and the supervisor of air traffic control are considering the possibility of a plane hitting the Pentagon at this time, no steps are taken to alert workers at the Pentagon before it is struck (see Before 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001), and an order to evacuate the building will only go out over the Pentagon's public address system shortly after the attack there. [Goldberg et al., 2007, pp. 137-138; Vogel, 2007, pp. 429] Pentagon Hit Close to Tower - Boger and Kidd will both suffer minor injuries when the Pentagon is hit less than 100 feet from where they are, and the heliport tower will be badly damaged by the explosion. [US Army Center for Military History, 11/14/2001 ; Fort Belvoir News, 1/18/2002] Kidd will be on the tower's ground floor, on her way outside to her car, when the crash occurs. [Pentagram, 11/16/2001; Fort Belvoir News, 1/18/2002] Boger will still be up in the tower, and, he will say, sees Flight 77 flying low and fast toward—and then into—the Pentagon. [US Army Center for Military History, 11/14/2001 ; Goldberg et al., 2007, pp. 27]

Top 4 Audio Player WordPress Plugins Compared - 2019
Last modified: October 17, 2019
When it comes to adding external files on WordPress websites besides images, we all start to scratch our heads for a minute. We all know that adding video files directly into our WordPress websites is considered bad practice and we've all embedded a youtube video on our site at one point or another. But what happens when it comes to adding an audio file? Is there a plugin that takes care of that or should I use a plugin? Well, it just turns out that there are multiple audio player WordPress plugins out there, so here are the best ones.

The Food Gatherer's Note: Roasting cauliflower brings out a much deeper, richer, nuttier and almost sweet side to the humble cauli. Combined with mushroom this soup has a lovely earthy flavour.
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion (peeled and quartered)
1 large cauliflower, broken into florets
2 Handfuls of chestnut mushrooms
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 litre of vegetable stock
To Prepare:
Preheat the oven to 200 C. Lay the cauliflower, onion and mushrooms out on a shallow baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season well with sea salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, turning once. Bring 1½ litres of vegetable stock (Marigold Bouillon is a good ready made version) to the boil then add the roasted vegetables and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
Blend the soup with a hand held blender or a liquidiser until smooth then season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. For an optional luxurious twist grate truffle on top or drizzle truffle oil on each serving of soup.

What is a Natural Fragrance?
natural fragrances: essential oils vs. fragrance oils
Look closely at your label; does it contain "fragrance" or essential oils? What's the difference anyway?
Many cosmetic products contain fragrance oils or perfumes, which can irritate sensitive skin and noses. Fragrance oils are synthetic chemicals formulated to make an odor. Fragrance oils can also contain phthalates. There have been various studies showing toxicity of these plastic compounds, and other studies claiming the concentration used is not harmful to humans (*as it has only been proven in high dose exposure through animal testing.) You can read more about it here. Along with being prone to allergens, fragrance oils do not carry any aromatherapy or healing benefits, and exist in formulations purely for scenting purposes.
Natural fragrances come from essential oils, fruit and plant essences. Essential oils contain a plethora of aromatherapy and health benefits. They have been used in various medicinal practices, such as homeopathy, since the beginning of time. A terrific resource to begin learning more about health benefits and aromatherapy is an essential oil encyclopedia. This one by Julia Lawless is great to get started with due to the beautiful color illustrations accompanying the info. Many are familiar with lavender essential oil and its mellowing effects, but there are numerous other essential oils that carry health and aromatherapy benefits from healing wounds to revitalizing the skin to calming an upset stomach.
The Grapeseed Co. uses only natural fragrances and is know for their signature scents: blends of botanically derived fruit and plant oils with added aromatherapy benefits. The Grapeseed Co. shop has been set up so that you can not only shop by the product you're looking for, but also by our signature essential oil blends. Each page set up by blends explains the properties and aromatherapy benefits for the scent. Check it out
*The Grapeseed Co. is cruelty free PETA certified; we test our organic products on willing and eager humans and do not support animal testing

Fragrance oils are the #1 known sensitizer in skin care products. The #2? Essential Oils. Precisely because they are plant based, they can be very reactive for some users. Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's safer. I'm an aromatherapist and I despise fragrance oils, but I also recognize the risks of naturals.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment. Essential oils used in very small percentages are much safer than fragrance oils. It really depends what you are after in a product, a safe way to scent a product, or a product that is free of any scent for very sensitive skin. This post was about the benefits of essential oils, which many people CAN use who are allergic to fragrances.ReplyDelete

These behaviors become habits when they are firmly established and performed mechanically. For instance, do it's important to take into consideration putting your seatbelt on or do you do it mechanically? Habits are often developed early in life thanks to parental encouragement or the influence of our peer group.

Sky Sports ready to agree new deal to cover US Masters
There had been some doubt cast as to whether the current deal would be renewed

Sky Sports is on the verge of agreeing a new deal to cover the Masters, thereby allaying fears the subscription channel could lose a second major championship. In what marked an embarrassment for Sky after the launch of a dedicated golf station last year, it was subsequently unable to agree a package for the US PGA Championship which, in turn, was covered live in the UK by the BBC.
It emerged last summer that Sky's Masters contract had ended in 2017 without immediate renewal. Augusta National's senior figures subsequently tested the market by way of talks with BT Sport during the Open Championship.
But it has emerged Sky has all-but confirmed an extension with Augusta which will, as per typical Masters partnerships, not be on a multiyear basis. "We work on short-term contracts with all of our broadcast partners," said an Augusta source.
An interesting caveat to that is Sky's continuing pursuit of exclusive Masters rights in the UK, with the BBC currently covering the last two days of the event on a live basis. Whether the corporation can retain that Augusta alliance with Sky hovering remains to be seen. Augusta, as was the case with the R&A with regards the Open Championship, would face a public backlash if its event was removed from free-to-air television.
What happens next with the US PGA will also come under further attention. As things stand, Sky has made no serious bid to reclaim the fourth major of the year. It may well be that commercial attention was focused on the Masters, while industry sources have suggested Sky may place more value in the US PGA from 2019, when it moves to a slot in May. The BBC's coverage of last year's event was widely criticised, albeit it was secured at short notice and in direct scheduling competition to the World Athletics Championships. Guardian service

Ballinamore bungalow and land 'ideal for young person starting out'
The uncertainty surrounding Brexit has impacted on Leitrim land sales with less UK buyers in evidence at present, according to Gordon Hughes of Gordon Hughes estate agents, Ballinamore.
"Up to 12 to 18 months ago, we had a lot of UK business – it would have accounted for as much as 40% but with the uncertainty around Brexit, people from the UK are sitting on the fence," said Hughes.
Irish farmers and particularly those from the east coast have stepped into the breach, according to the agent.
Farmers inside the county often report difficulty in accessing finance and we have a lot of part-time farmers in Leitrim.
Land is selling for an average of €4,000 per acre in Leitrim at present, said Hughes, who is currently handling the sale of Ardlougher, Gorvagh P.O., Carrick-on-Shannon.
The four-bedroom bungalow comes with approximately 31.5ac of farmland, stone outbuildings and a hay shed, as well as entitlements.
The property is in a quiet rural setting; 5km from the town of Ballinamore and located at the end of a lane way. "This makes it ideally suited for those seeking a dwelling in a private location," Hughes said.
Development Potential
Completely refurbished in 2008, Hughes said the property, which has been on the market since July 26, is in good condition throughout. "It is ideally suited for those seeking a small farm holding with residential dwelling."
He sees it as having good development potential for a buyer who may also wish to carry out an alternative home business due to the large amount of outbuildings included in the sale.
The accommodation spans approximately 120sq m. It comprises: hallway; living room with solid fuel burner; kitchenette; bathroom and four bedrooms – two with built-in wardrobes.
"The property would ideally suit a young farmer starting out with money available through extended family. It could suit a couple with one partner working from home or interested in setting up an on-farm enterprise," Hughes said.
The guide price for Ardlougher is €215,000. Viewing is strictly by appointment.

With a newly repositioned corporate brand, three product lines to showcase and a recent corporate acquisition, the leadership team at IFF already had their hands full. With the world's largest and most prestigious fragrance trade show on the horizon, there was a lot of pressure to get things right, but not a lot of time to think through how all of these new elements would work together. IFF asked us to do just that; design a unique, sophisticated environment to debut the brand, underscore their message and drive more business.
The World Perfumery Congress is the global stage for fragrance creativity and the premiere customer event in the industry. IFF desired a booth with stunning visual impact, open layout, and areas for private discussions, group presentations and lead capture. Communication had to support sustainability, leverage technology, and engage through interactivity. Finally, the space had to embody the company's new brand, while making use of existing assets.
IFF's new brand and complex value propositions were synthesized into a rich, integrated experience. The open structural design style provided a comfortable environment for clients and customers to navigate the booth. Critical content was distilled and amplified through a variety of media, creating ideal brand experiences for individuals and groups alike. An integrated, digital attendee survey platform helped the sales team drive conversion of attendees into customers during and after the show.
Fusion created an engaging environment with a mix of visual, auditory, tactile and interactive experiences. The space delivered a holistic embodiment of IFF's value proposition while showcasing the new brand - with 108 qualified new leads generated, the sweet smell of success persists well beyond the show.
The way we position our brand should reflect the quality of our products and the innovation of our science. The World Perfumery Conference is a pivotal show for us, but even more so as we were also debuting our new brand and key messaging. As usual, Fusion delivered for us under tremendous pressure. I don't know how we would have navigated tying the design, strategy and customer messaging together on such short notice without them.
Our team worked closely with IFF's internal leadership teams and their third-party suppliers to deliver the World Perfumery Conference experience on time and on-message. Brand stewardship and design acumen were central to the successful execution of this project amidst the change and design variables.

The Log Cabin Society was established by the Board of Trustees of Bethel in 1980 to recognize those who have generously included the college in their planned giving programs. Since that time, hundreds of Log Cabin members have chosen to include Bethel in their wills, in a living trust, made arrangements for a life estate contract or a gift annuity, or made Bethel the beneficiary and owner of a life insurance policy.
The Log Cabin Society, through publications, membership lists, and through plaques designed for public display, recognizes those persons and organizations which choose to commit assets to Bethel University in support of its future and its mission.
The primary requirement for membership in the Log Cabin Society is to furnish Bethel evidence, e.g., a copy of that portion of the planned giving instrument that pertains to Bethel University, of your intent.
If you have additional questions on The Log Cabin Society, please call the Business Office at 731-352-4044 or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Architects and Heroes, Subiaco
This busy café located in the heart of Subiaco is a great setting for breakfast dates, coffee catch-ups or time with your favourite book. After seeing so many photos of their very popular Crumpets with popping candy on Instagram I had to try them myself.
Being both indecisive and greedy, I ordered three dishes to share between the two of us. I don't usually order eggs and toast, because personally I think it's a bit boring and I can make it at home myself. But, my friend insisted we had to get it and I have to agree with him that they are delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked, just how you would want it and the bread used was great for wiping up the runny yolk.
63 degree egg on toast ($10)
Crumpets with macerated strawberries & vanilla mascarpone, pecan butterscotch mixed nuts and popping candy ($16)
The macerated strawberries and butterscotch on top of the fluffy crumpet made this a very sweet dish, a good choice for those with a sweet tooth. It always brings a sense of fun and nostalgia when popping candy is involved.
Coffee butter steak, chimichurri, peri peri chips ($21)
I couldn't really taste the coffee butter but this dish was delicious, a little pricey for the portion size, but I would still order it again. This is more of a lunch rather than breakfast choice.
I will definitely need to make another trip back here, to extensively try the other dishes on the menu. On the next visit I will have to order the Sparkling Cascara Iced Tea, because it's served with fairy floss!
Rating: 8 out of 10

Here's a link to my play through of season 1, and here's season 2.
Season 2 really kicked off, creating more choices and outcomes than Season 1. By the end of Season 2 Episode 4 , I was feeling like the group was definitely going to fall apart (because of Kenny being a butt, the baby not having Rebecca, and overall pandemonium.) The ending of Episode 5 of Season 2 was an absolute roller coaster. I chose not to go with Mike, Arvo, and Bonnie. I wanted to make sure little AJ was okay, I would never leave him with Kenny and Jane may leave him (though I'm pretty sure she wouldn't). Then Arvo shoots Clem like the little punk he is. Later when Jane "loses" AJ, I helped Jane in the fight with Kenny because he is off his rocker. When AJ magically re-appears, I choose to forgive Jane. Then at Carver's place everyone's dead and things are looking up. I chose to let the family that came in and everything's fine. (Well, minus Rebecca being dead, Luke dying, Mike's group leaving and Kenny's death.)
I decided to let the family stay because that place was a fortress before Clem and the group messed it up, they could easily develop a place to stay and let in even more people and set up a community. I feel as though Clem will be fine with Jane. It seems Jane sees Clem as a tougher version of her sister, so she would stick around Clem, Jane also pulled Clem out of the water when she went after Luke even though she said she wouldn't risk her life for anyone.
Overall, The Walking Dead Seasons 1&2 were great experiences. There are things in both that link together so it isn't one of those games that do a sequel just to make revenue. The ending of Season 2 ended in a car the same way Season 1 began. I even said "watch the road" both times to make myself happy. I feel like Season 2 is better, just because there are more choices and outcomes. In Season 1 if you save Carley or Doug then they're barely there in the next episode, then they die. In Season 2 if you choose to go to Nick or Pete, then there's a completely different story line. Season 2 seems more developed (both the story and the gameplay).
This game is highly story based, so some gamers that want a FPS may get discouraged from playing it, however the gameplay matches this story perfectly, decisions on what to say and who to shoot push the story along. Even choosing not to do anything sometimes gets the story going, while in an FPS you would just die.
TWD is a successful piece of literature because it's a journey. It's not just a pint and click or point and shoot game, you have to think about your decisions, and because of the decisions you make, Lee or Clementine develop differently, making the story your own. It similar to those old Goosebumps books where if you want to go left turn to page 79 and then you die. Those books had re-readability and you get another story every time. TWD has re-playability where you want to get all the aspects of the story so you replay the game. The story develops in the same manner a book would, you just can't shoot a few walkers and aide in fighting sequences in books.
**Waits patiently for Season 3**
