Walk-in bathtubs are purposely built for easy accessibility, especially for people with mobility problems.
Unlike the standard bathtub whose water is about 1 foot deep, the walk-in tubs have a water depth of about 2.5 feet. The additional depth allows the bather to experience a relaxing spa-like soak, while its step-in design allows disabled people, as well as individuals with limited mobility, to easily access (enter or exit) the bathtub.
Also, most walk-in tubs have seats whose height and configuration can be adjusted. Likewise, most incorporate anti-slip features as a safeguard against slips and falls.
All the top rated walk-in bathtubs listed below have the features as mentioned earlier, alongside their unique design and distinct features.
1. Safe Step
Safe Step Walk-in bathtubs are purposely designed to prevent bathroom slips, falls, and accidents. Their low steps and anti-slip surfaces allow you to easily access and move around while in the bathtub, without risking any slips. Also, their built-in grabs provide you with handles that you can hold onto and avoid falling.
2. Jacuzzi Walk-in Bathtubs
Jacuzzi tubs feature an extra-tall design that allows you to experience a massaging effect designed to relieve joint aches, stiffness, and pains caused by daily activities.
The water level inside the tub can reach up to your neck, and you can relax well inside it. Your relaxation experience is further improved by jets that propel a well-balanced mix of water and air. It also incorporates all the standard safety features, with its built-in safety bar allowing you to avert falls, and even drowning.
3. Bathing Safety
Bathing Safety bathtubs are designed to maximize the safety of the user. Apart from anti-slip floors, low steps, and built-in grabs, they also feature built-in safety bars, hand-held showers, and easily adjustable seats. They also have options for air massages and hydrotherapy.
4. Independent Home
Independent Home specializes in building and designing walk-in bathtubs for senior citizens. Their bathtubs can be installed within a day. Also, their safety features, including anti-slip surfaces, grabs, and relatively low step heights, are geared towards maximizing the safety of the person using the bathtub.
5. Premier Care
Premiere Care bathtubs are also purposely designed for senior citizens. But, they also incorporate features that allow disabled people of all ages, as well as people suffering from debilitating joint conditions, to access and use the bathtub.
6. Hydro Dimensions
Hydro Dimensions designs luxury walk-in bathtubs that provide a massaging experience as well as a beautiful bathing experience. The tubs are designed to fit well with almost all bathroom designs.

Welcome Back Veoline!

Welcome Back Veoline!
Hail mighty Veoline!
Just deleted everything, blueehh
Veoline, as you know, you have been gone for a bit of time. In your absence we have been rather busy, if a bit shorter on live-members. Aeg already said mostly everything, so let me put that here:
All powerful Aegonian wrote:I'm glad to see you again, I feared you had left again! These are the major things we have going on right now:
The continuation of the original forum roleplay, the Fabula Nova Elithias, is still ongoing, if a bit slowly... We also have a Minecraft roleplay in the works, but that one has been rather inactive too. I hope we can continue working on it soon, but Bukkit is still working on a stable 1.6 Build, and I've had some trouble getting the server running due to IP configuration settings getting reset constantly.
Notix, Necro, Jorgas and me have also recently started playing Civilization V matches together. I have built a few custom, Elithian Alliance-inspired maps for us to play on, and as soon as Jorgas gets back from his vacation, we'll continue the current match on Elithia.
We also have an empire in Shores of Hazeron now, but performance issues with the game have kept me from playing it.
That's is basically a resume of everything that happened in your absence, but considering
Strength Through Unity!

Fifty Shades of Grey Review
By Callum Sharp and Rob Henderson
All judgement aside, we were warned before Fifty Shades of Grey that "there is apparently no boob in this movie". Our source was wrong.
In the depths of Christian Grey's 'playroom' lurk some atrocities that no viewer should ever lay their eyes upon, Fifty Shades of Grey is possibly the worst film of 2015 despite its definite hype. The occasional noteworthy performance did nothing to assert the directive skills of Sam Taylor–Johnson or the story, which was hailed for its empowering themes and ground-breaking characterisation. It was a complete flop, unlike Mr Grey's you know what.
Some scenes were just too hairy to handle, including the horrendous close up of Mr Grey's failure to trim, while others awkwardly unfolded; leaving the audience laughing, mocking and practically jeering at the lame excuse for soft-core porn. This is the problem, Fifty Shades of Grey was far too vanilla and although Taylor-Johnson's blend of romance and erotica were intended for a watchable feature, this rendition of the novel fell short at its first hurdle. Yes there's nudity and yes there's adult content but the sex sucked and wasn't that the whole point? What's most disturbing was the lack of sincerity towards the core themes of the story. Although it's clear that Taylor-Johnson is making an effort to promote the equality of the female body, Fifty Shades of Grey is two hours of a man sexually and mentally dominating a young woman, making for many disrespectful and uncomfortable scenes. You begin to question, where is the empowerment?
Talking of disturbing, Mr Grey's unsettling 'playroom/batcave' would surely have any woman running for the hills because rather than cape and cowl, Christian seems to have a slight interest in outlandish leather fineries; consisting of whips, ropes and all things cuffed-up. Besides this, what's the deal with Miss Steel's phone? We know she must be distanced from the extravagant world of billionaire Mr Grey but the constant shots of her ancient flip-phone question the director's lack of attention, or just highlight LG's worst product placement campaign since, well, ever.
To give credit to Fifty… there are some positive aspects to the movie. The brooding soundtrack features the haunting voices of Ellie Goulding and Beyoncé, which add to the highly polished production and the attention to classy detail. Amongst the ridiculous lines like "Fifty Shades of F****d up" (to which half the audience groaned with dissatisfaction), the pitiful demonstration of severe whipping and over-use of chap-stick ridden lips, we just can't help but want to see more. Left on a notably intense cliff-hanger, Fifty Shades of Grey is possibly the best film of 2015, hormonal right?

Nigeria and Namibia's Young Artists Called To 'Give Art Life' and Enter 2018 L'Atelier Art Competition
Nigeria and Namibia's Young Artists Called To 'Give Art Life' and Enter 2018 L'Atelier Art Competition
This brings to 12 the number of African countries participating in the competition
LAGOS, Nigeria, February 13, 2018/ -- The L'Atelier art competition is one of the longest-running and most prestigious visual arts competitions on the African continent. It was established in South Africa 33 years ago, but in recent years has been expanded to include a number of other African countries in order to reach more young artists and further the unparalleled opportunities it affords those who participate in the competition. For the first time in its history, this now includes the countries of Nigeria and Namibia.
This brings to 12 the number of African countries participating in the competition, which is jointly sponsored by Barclays Africa (www.BarclaysAfrica.com) and the South African National Association for the Visual Arts (SANAVA). The other participating countries include South Africa, Botswana, Ghana, Zambia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Mauritius, Seychelles and Mozambique.
L'Atelier rewards young visual artists with unparalleled industry opportunities to develop their talents abroad. As such, the competition is open to all professional and self-taught emerging artists aged 21 to 35 who are permanent residents of, and reside in, these qualifying countries.
For thousands of artists across Africa whose creativity is their livelihood, art gives life. Now, L'Atelier is asking these artists to 'Give art life' as it calls for entries into this year's competition.
This inspiring theme of the 2018 competition reflects the idea that the highly acclaimed L'Atelier gives African contemporary art, and the fresh young talent behind it, a platform to thrive. This is evident in the once-in-a-lifetime opportunities presented through the competition.
For the main winners, this includes a six-month art residency at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, and a cash prize of R330 000.
Similarly, the first Merit Award prize comprises a three-month art residency at the Bag Factory in South Africa; the second Merit Award, a two-month art residency at the Sylt Foundation, on the island of Sylt in Germany, and the third Merit Award, a one-month art residency with the Ampersand Foundation in New York, USA.
All Top 10 finalists in the competition are also placed on a two-day art professionalism course to assist them in managing their careers – a vital aspect in helping young artists turn their talent into profitable businesses.
Dr. Paul Bayliss, Absa Art and Museum Curator, says L'Atelier organisers and the entire adjudication panel are looking forward to seeing the works of artists from Namibia and Nigeria among this year's entries.
"We are very excited to welcome Namibian and Nigerian artists on board, and to see them join so many other artists from across the African continent in taking up the opportunities presented to them through this competition. L'Atelier has played a significant role in the careers of many influential visual artists from Africa, particularly the winners, who have benefited from the exposure afforded to them through the residencies."
"Since extending the competition to across the African continent, the response from young, up-and-coming artists has been incredible. This bears testament to the fact that emerging artists realise the immense value L'Atelier adds to their careers. It has been very encouraging to see Africa's young artists making the most of the opportunities that are being created to support and help grow their careers. It's important not only that artists take advantage of these opportunities, but that they put their best works forward when doing it," says Bayliss.
To enter the 2018 competition, artists simply need to visit the L'Atelier website at www.LAtelierCompetition.com, click on the "enter L'Atelier 2018" button, and complete the required information. Registration opens on 1 February 2018, entries can be uploaded from 1 March 2018, and entries close on 27 April 2018.

Can Celebrities Raise Awareness Through Social Media Campaigns?
We use social media on a daily basis for means of communication and sharing our thoughts, feelings, and happenings; but another good way to use social media is by spreading a positive global message. Recently for World Aids Day numerous celebrities did that exact thing. In hopes of bringing awareness to the global aids crisis, celebrities like Alicia Keys, Ryan Seacrest, Kim Kardashian, Lady GaGa and so many more took a vow of social media silence, in an effort to raise funds for the "Keep a Child Alive" organization. They promised not to reappear to their social networking accounts until the goal of $1 million was reached.
Alicia Keys co-founded the 'Keep a Child Alive" charity and orchestrated the marketing campaign in an effort to bring awareness to the impact of aids in the world and our children while focusing on getting treatment and care to patients. In an effort to draw attention to the campaign, she assembled a team of A-List Hollywood elites to begin their "digital death" on World Aids Day and even released controversial promo pictures of the stars posing in coffins symbolizing their "digital death" in hopes of raising awareness and money for the cause. They encouraged their fans to buy back their favorite celeb's digital life by making a donation via text.
I, for one, thought this was a pretty good social marketing strategy considering the influence these celebrities have on their fans and even general public opinion. It was a creative approach to reaching the public and persuading them to donate money to the charity, especially since fans look forward to reading real time tweets and status updates from their favorite artist or entertainer regularly. I know I do. So why did such a cool and creative campaign fail at getting their donations within their goal time frame?
Unfortunately there was still something missing to boost the campaign's momentum because it has been looked at as a failure. Although they raised the $1 million goal, it didn't come easy or as fast as everyone predicted. The target goal was expected to be achieved within a day or two but after five days and only $300,000 donated, there was worry. Finally, billionaire and philanthropist Stewart Rahr matched the public's fundraised donation of $500 thousand which helped the organization reach its $1 million mark.
There has been debate about what exactly caused the campaign to fail; it's been speculated that the initial minimum donation amount of $10 may have been too high for fans which prompted the amount to be reduced down to $1. Another theory is that instead of taking a vow of digital silence, they should have talked more informatively about the cause and donated some of their own money to generate their goal by their 1-2 day deadline.
Regardless of how long it took, the purpose of the campaign was to digitally raise their goal of $1 million in an effort to continue aiding those who are infected with the aids virus and they accomplished just that. The effort was very commendable and I'm sure a great learning experience for Ms. Keys and the Keep a Child Alive charity.
I guess the questions isn't so much, "Can celebrities raise awareness through social media" but the real question is "How"? What do you think about the "Digital Death" campaign? What could celebrities have done differently with social media to raise more money in a shorter span of time?

So pleased you enjoyed it!
Eve's Garden is definitely an exciting new voice for this website! Indeed, I really enjoyed this recording. The production qualities are some of the best that I have heard. Plus, I like the relaxing music that plays in the background. Her voice is very alluring too. At nearly 40 minutes, this is one of the longest experiences for men. For me, what sets this apart from other recordings is that in her visualization she describes both her and the listener having 2 orgasms together. So, I give it credit for being a tad bit less formulaic than most recordings which are all about the buildup to a single climax. In this recording, she describes the gift of a first orgasm and then she makes sure to give you one more before the end of the recording. I think this makes this recording extra sexy and more realistic. Personally, I wish there were a few extra climaxes in the script, but I'm not complaining too much because this is a free title. Still, I give her credit for making a high quality recording that has an extra serving of erotic endurance.

|Sighting Report
|Occurred : 9/3/1999 00:00 (Entered as : 9/3/99 24:00)
Reported: 9/4/1999 01:46
Posted: 3/21/2003
Location: Beckley, WV
Shape: Other
Duration:1.5 hrs +
|Over a period of 1.5 hours last night, we watched a total of 8 separate star-type lights in the northeast and southwest areas of our sky. Each "light" was an object that seemed to strobe-first white, then red, then a green light. They appeared in the sky one by one and had moved only fractionally during the hour and a half, in a north to south direction, perpendicular to the stars and satellites in the night sky.
At midnight, my husband and I went out onto our deck as we do most nights. Our deck overlooks the city of Beckley and on out to the Raleigh County Airport at Grandview. In the northeastern sky, just above the trees, we noticed one "star" appeared to be blinking. My husband went back inside for the binoculars and amazingly, the "star" was a revolving light- first white, then green, then red, and was unmoving. We watched for about 30 minutes before noticing a smaller, but identical light farther to the east, again unmoving. We began scanning the sky and found 3 more between lights A and B, as well as 2 lights to our southwest, that were blinking only the green and white light. After about 1 and a half hours, the lights were obviously moving SLOWLY perpendicular to the stars' movement in the sky, and another red, green and white light appeared behind the original light. There were no sounds and the airplanes that flew in the night appeared oblivious to the lights, as if ! the lights were above the planes, but still in our atmosphere. A little after 1:30 am, my husband and I were suffering from eye strain and a long day. When we left the deck, the objects were still in the sky. My husband and I are both former government employees and current real estate investors.

Enter the Gungeon is a bullet hell rogue like video game developed by Dodge Roll and published by Devolver Digital. It follows four adventurers as they descend into the Gungeon to find a gun to kill their past. Enter the Gungeon was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, and PlayStation 4 on April 5, 2016.
Enter the Gungeon is set on a distant planet inhabited by living bullets and other strange lifeforms. Your one and only goal is to try to get the gun that can kill the past. Yes, you heard it right! Personally I have not been able to get this gun yet and I will never stop my quest to find it.
From the moment I bought this game I fell in love.
The dungeon is basically just 4 chambers, but I haven't played once where a room was the same after I died. The amount of possible layouts for each chamber is incredible. Furthermore, the number of different guns is impressive.
There are more guns that I care to count but I invite you to go and check out the wiki for the gun list! But what I can tell you they are each one funnier than the next I've shot letters, bullets, water, fire, ice and even turtles.
Enter The Gungeon Gameplay
You start with 4 characters to choose from; the pilot with his handy lock pick, the convict with her lovely Molotov, the hunter with her crossbow and the marine with his armor. There is an extra character when you play the co-op, but I'll leave you to find out his name.
[bctt tweet="I love this #game. Read the review and watch me play. @DodgeRollGames @devolverdigital @Rizonesoft" username="TheWhiteNinjaxD"]
This is a lovely game. Take a break from all the competitive online games. The first day I played this game I played for 6 hours straight. I just wanted to get to know all the secrets of the game. Take a look at me playing Enter The Gungeon below.
Publisher's Description
Enter the Gungeon is a bullet hell dungeon crawler following a band of misfits seeking to shoot, loot, dodge roll and table-flip their way to personal absolution by reaching the legendary Gungeon's ultimate treasure: the gun that can kill the past.
Select a hero (or team up in co-op) and battle your way to the bottom of the Gungeon by surviving a challenging and evolving series of floors filled with the dangerously adorable Gundead and fearsome Gungeon bosses armed to the teeth. Gather precious loot, discover hidden secrets, and chat with opportunistic merchants and shopkeepers to buy powerful items to gain an edge.
The Gungeon
Enter the Gungeon – a constantly evolving bullet hell fortress that elegantly blends meticulously hand-designed rooms within a procedurally-generated labyrinth bent on destroying all that enter its walls. But beware, the Gungeon responds to even the most modest victory against its sentries and traps by raising the stakes and the challenges found within!
The Cult of the Gundead
The Gungeon isn't just traps and chasms – calm your nerves and steady your aim as you face down the gun-totting Cult of the Gundead. These disciples of the gun will stop at nothing to put down the heroes in their tracks and employ any tactics necessary to defend their temple.
The Gungeoneers
Choose between one of several unlikely heroes, each burdened by a deep regret and in search of a way to change their past, no matter the cost. Filled with equal parts courage and desperation, these adventurers won't hesitate to dive across flaming walls, roll through a wall of bullets, or take cover behind whatever is around to make it to their goal alive
The Guns
Discover and unlock scores of uniquely fantastic guns to annihilate all that oppose you in the Gungeon – each carrying their own unique tactics and ammunition. Unleash everything from the tried and true medley of missiles, lasers, and cannonballs to the bizarrely effective volley of rainbows, fish, foam darts, and bees! Yep, bees.
I would recommend this game to anyone that loves fast pace dogging and shooting or anyone that just wants to have some fun. In conclusion, this game can also be played in local multiplayer, hopefully someday there will be an online multiplayer. Alone this game is fun, but playing with your best friend would be next level.

Scenes: Click to enlarge
For sheer destruction, no single weapon comes
close to a nuclear bomb.
This episode of "Avoiding Armageddon" reveals the urgent threats from this fearsome power as hostile nations and stateless terrorists, unafraid to unleash its deadly force, race to obtain the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
Many felt that the end of the Cold War would usher in an era of greater safety and security. It turns out the opposite was true.
"Nuclear Nightmares: Losing Control"
shows in shocking detail that today's world is a more dangerous place as nuclear security is compromised; countries such as North Korea build the bomb; and nuclear neighbors India and Pakistan, bitter adversaries, feel empowered by it and contemplate using it.
"Nuclear Nightmares: Losing Control"
chronicles the tense days in 1999, when unbeknownst to many around the world, India and Pakistan were on the verge of nuclear war. The weapons were aimed; forces were on highest alert. The U.S. intervened and helped avert a conflagration that could have claimed millions of casualties. But the region remains the world's most precarious potential nuclear flash point.
What if terrorists get the bomb or component parts? There may be no chance for world mediation in that scenario.
"Nuclear Nightmares: Losing Control"
tells the story of Leonid Smirnov, a mid-level employee in a Russian nuclear facility, who patiently pilfered tiny amounts of highly enriched uranium, hoping to sell it to the highest bidder on the black market. Fortunately, Smirnov was caught before he reached a buyer. But the material he stole was never missed.
That's just one of the stories "Avoiding Armageddon" producers uncovered as they spent two years traveling the globe to investigate the legacy of the superpower nuclear arms race. The thousands of nuclear warheads - many more than 30 times more powerful than the Hiroshima blast - and the nuclear know-how are part of the tantalizing unsecured remnants of the weapons programs of the former Soviet Union.
Yet there are reasons for hope. Cooperative programs have led to reductions for U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals. In
"Nuclear Nightmares: Losing Control"
viewers learn about the "Megatons to Megawatts" program that converts Russian uranium into a source of electricity in the United States.
Splitting the atom was one of humanity's most ingenious breakthroughs, but also one of its most dangerous. Hiroshima ended a war but began a frightening new chapter in human history. From the Cuban missile crisis to Leonid Smirnov, the world has repeatedly stepped to the brink, peered over and pulled back. As the nuclear club expands, will the pattern change?
