Mitochondrial DNA sequencing helps researchers and scientists when they are studying human diseases, maternally linked relationships, human migration patterns, evolution, and human identification. A mitochondrial DNA sequencing validation summary thoroughly explores the important elements of this topic providing researchers and students with a better understanding of how, why, and when it is done.
- slide 2 of 6
What is Mitochondrial DNA?
Mitochondria are the components, also referred to as structures, within cells that convert the energy obtained from food to a type of energy that can be used by cells. These structures also contain their own DNA, referred to as mtDNA, and their DNA contains 37 genes, all of which are needed for normal mitochondrial function.

Validation Explanation
Validation is a process that demonstrates whether a laboratory procedure is reliable, robust, and reproducible by those performing the test in the specific laboratory. Reliable means that the results that are obtained correctly reflect the tested sample and are accurate. Robust means that most results that are obtained are accurate. Reproducible means that the results obtained are similar, or very close to similar, every time a sample is tested.

Medical Conditions and Disorders Associated with Mitochondrial DNA Changes
A mitochondrial DNA sequencing validation summary can be beneficial when determining if a mitochondrial DNA change is associated with a medical conditions or disorder. The following medical conditions and disorders are associated with a change in mitochondrial DNA structure:
Cancer: Certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer, stomach cancer, kidney tumors, colon cancer, liver cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia, may occur as a result of a somatic (noninherited) mitochondrial DNA mutation.
Cyclic vomiting syndrome: Genetic changes in mitochondrial DNA are likely related to this condition.
Leber hereditary optic neuropathy: Certain mitochondrial gene mutations have been identified in those with this condition. Four mutations will be present.
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy/stroke-like episodes/lactic acidosis: Certain mitochondrial gene mutations have been identified in those with this disorder. At least five mutations must be present.
Myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers: Certain mitochondrial gene mutations have been identified in those with this disorder. At least four mutations must be present.
Neuropathy/retinitis pigmentosa/ataxia: Certain mitochondrial gene mutations have been identified in those with this disorder. One gene will be mutated.
Nonsyndromic deafness: Certain mitochondrial gene mutations have been identified in those with this disorder. Two mutations will be present.
Other disorders that may be associated with mitochondrial DNA changes include diabetes, vision and eye abnormalities, muscle wasting and weakness, hearing loss, movement problems, dementia, heart disease, kidney failure, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people. Similar in play to Apples to Apples, but unlike most of the party games you've played before, CAH is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends. The game play is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card.
All of R.L.Stine's monsters have escaped from his manuscripts and are roaming the streets of Madison, and none of them want to go back... including you! In Goosebumps® the Board Game everyone plays their favourite monster. Players battle each other in a frantic race along a trail of mayhem and manuscripts, trying to reach the typewriter before it sends them away for good. Only the first monster to reach the typewriter will be saved.
High treachery and betrayal are behind the two mysteries to solve in Game of Thrones Clue. Featuring a double-sided game board, players choose to solve the murder mystery in The Red Keep or in Meereen. WHO was responsible for plotting the murder? WHAT weapon was used and WHERE did the crime take place?

Calling the planned special election "illegitimate," Sharron Angle said Wednesday that she will not be a candidate in the September race to fill a vacant congressional seat in Nevada.
After the state's governor called for the vote last month, Secretary of State Ross Miller established rules that allowed any and all eligible candidates to file to appear on the ballot, regardless of party, which added some uncertainty to the fall race. Republicans who fear an Angle candidacy under such rules are challenging them in court, seeking the ability for each major party to nominate their own candidate instead.
Angle's announcement comes on the first day candidates were able to file for the ballot. She blamed an uncertain process that "disenfranchises the electorate."
"I do not have any desire to participate in a process described by others as a 'ballot royale' or a situation where the party central committees choose their nominees because it makes a mockery of the most important constitutional element in exercising freedom," Angle said in a statement. "The longer this drags out, the more it will become a contest of bank accounts and negative campaigning based on personal attacks instead of the important issues that face Nevada and our country."

Get ready for battle.
The new trailer for "Warcraft" shows off sprawling conflicts between orc and human soldiers, with massive battles spilling across forests, deserts, and even in the sky.
The film mixes CG and live action elements and is based on the long running "World of Warcraft" video game series, created by Blizzard Entertainment. The massive "World of Warcraft" (abbreviated 'WoW)' universe began in 1994 with the original PC game, "Warcraft: Orcs & Humans." The trailer looks like a return to the series roots, with the war between the two races front and center in the clip. A film adaptation has been rumored for almost ten years and now, at last, the battle is about to begin.
"Warcraft" charges into theaters June 10.
Check out the trailer, which debuted exclusively on Facebook, below:

Michael and Kirsten Lane met 11 years ago in Hawaii while Michael was attending a conference as a Navy lieutenant. They married exactly one year later and now have three boys, ages 8, 6 and 4. Although Kirsten says "our world revolves around our children," they still want to live in a space that offers the recreation and relaxation they experienced in Hawaii.
Michael retired from the Navy in 2005 as a lieutenant commander after 21 years in the Medical Service Corps. Last summer, the family relocated from Monterey when Michael took a position at Twin Cities Community Hospital. They were loath to leave their previous custom-built home. "We built the yard in a Polynesian theme and we loved it," said Michael.
When they found their current Templeton home, which is about 12 years old, they liked how the 1.1-acre lot backed up to a wooded creek for privacy. They appreciated how its open, single-level floor plan made its 2,900 square feet seem even larger.
But in the end, it was the backyard that won them over.
Tucked away at the rear of the property is a tropical oasis — an elaborate pool and spa area ringed with mature palm trees and accented with faux rock formations and multiple waterfalls. It is a space that feels "resort-like" to the couple, said Michael.
The pool was originally built by Barefoot Pools and recently updated by Custom Works Swimming Pools. The area is fenced for child safety and offers amenities for both kids and adults. The 100,000-gallon pool has a gently sloped "beach entry" where adults can park a lounge chair, or toddlers can take a shallow dip. A swim-up bar is a favorite feature for grownups, while the water slide is the main attraction for kids.
A poolside outdoor kitchen has a 48-inch wide barbecue, two double-side burners, two refrigerators, ice machine and freezer. A sound system fills the area with music, and, at night, colored fiber optics turn the waterfalls into a dazzling light show.
The yard itself fulfills a dual function as play space and a venue for entertaining. Atascadero's Sprinkler King created the original landscaping and continues to maintain it.
The Lanes frequently host small to medium-size get-togethers on their back patio, so they created an outdoor living room area with a rattan outdoor furniture set that includes a plush love seat, chairs and coffee table. Tall cocktail tables allow guests to stand and talk while enjoying a beverage or appetizer. Heat lamps keep the patio comfortable well into the evening on all but the coldest of nights.
The family does not shy away from larger events either. They once hosted a pool party with more than 100 guests, followed by a screening of a movie on the grass once the sun set.
An equally large back-to-school party had guests dining on catered gourmet burgers at the mosaic-embellished concrete picnic tables near the pool, and on blankets spread out on the grass.
When the family is not entertaining, the kids have the run of the yard, riding mini quad bikes on the lawn, climbing on their play structure, or performing acrobatics on the trampoline that is recessed into the ground for safety.
The home interior is also kid-friendly, yet plenty sophisticated. Kirsten once worked at her parents' home staging company, so she is well-versed in interior design. Still, only minor changes to the house were necessary including an update of hardware, partial recarpeting, and replacing the front doors with rustic distressed mahogany wood doors.
Kirsten calls her decorating style "casual chic," characterized by warm earth tones, natural woods and clean but elegant lines.
Their furniture is a mix of contemporary and traditional pieces including family antiques, items Michael collected while stationed in Italy, and furniture accumulated by the couple during their marriage.
The look of the home is sophisticated — no plastic kiddie furniture in sight. The family maintains formal living and dining rooms and uses them for intimate gatherings. The living room is near the entrance of the house and has a view of the backyard. The formal dining room has a small glass table that seats four.
The family eats their meals in the breakfast nook located near the kitchen. The family room is also a casual space, and some toys make their way there, yet it remains largely clutter-free. This is where the kids bring friends for a game or a movie. "We enjoy the fact that the kids can entertain their friends in the family room as we entertain adults in the formal living room," said Kirsten.
The family keeps toys and clutter in check by using a small room, intended as an office, as a playroom. A long, low storage unit holds labeled canvas bins that organize everything from books to Legos. This keeps other spaces, including the kids' rooms, tidier, because "it keeps the toys more centrally located rather than throughout the house," said Michael.
The master suite is the couple's sanctuary, with a fireplace that divides the sleeping area from an office nook. There are small luxuries like an oversize leather chair, a chandelier, a large soaking tub, and French doors to the patio which, according to Michael, make the space "a special little re treat for us." After all, he reasoned, why should the kids have all the fun?
DESIGNATE A PLAYROOM Instead of storing toys in multiple areas of the house, try keeping everything in one room. Ideally, this will be a designated playroom with ample storage for toys. This method keeps toys and clutter contained in one space where, ideally, it can all be concealed behind closed doors. It also helps to keep kids' bedrooms neater.
LIVE OUTDOORS Think of your patio as an extension of your living room. Instead of flimsy furniture, invest in something that feels like indoor furniture, such as a rattan or wood loveseat, comfy chairs, and a generously-sized coffee table. Use an outdoor rug to define the seating area. A heat source, such as a fire pit, fireplace or heat lamp, keeps the space comfortable at night.
KEEP IT HIDDEN To reduce visual clutter, the Lanes opted for containers that conceal the kids' toys and belongings, rather than open shelving, baskets or clear bins. In the playroom, they used slide-out canvas bins that can be carried to a play area, then returned. A shelving unit for the bins keeps everything looking tidy.

Wealth managers may be breathing new life into proprietary investment management.
Over the past decade, firms offering clients their own investment products increasingly lost ground to those recommending an "open architecture" array of investment options from outside managers.
But Optima Group, the Fairfield, Conn.-based research and consulting firm says its noticing a resurgence of interest in proprietary management by wealth managers.
Open architecture surged in popularity, says Ken Hoffman, Optimas managing director and president, because it allowed brokerages to clearly distinguish themselves from wirehouses and other brokerages whose objectivity of advice may be compromised by the sale of proprietary product.
Paradoxically, open architecture may have been the victim of its own success.
As the popularity of the RIA model has grown and as brokerages themselves have embraced open architecture, Hoffman continues, it has become increasingly difficult for wealth managers to differentiate themselves on this basis.
As a result, Hoffman says, we expect a higher percentage of newly minted RIAs to manage money in-house and more existing industry leaders to selectively reintroduce proprietary management as an option.
For example, Mirador Capital Partners, a newly-minted RIA launched this month by a breakaway team of five former Morgan Stanley advisors, led by founder Don Garman, is in fact a proud proprietary manager. The Pleasanton, Ca.-based firms flagship fund is the Garman Global Growth & Income portfolio, which Garman describes as a go anywhere, do anything fund investing in equities, fixed income or cash around the world.
Garman prefers to call his actively-managed approach one of using proprietary strategies to meet clients goals. Miradors risk based investing style, he says, is more nimble and flexible than what a third party manager system can produce.
The problem with open architecture, Garman argues, is that an advisor cant switch managers fast enough when market conditions change quickly. Open architecture is a cant-pivot approach, he says.
Nevertheless, about 60% to 70% of RIAs now use open architecture as part of their value proposition, according to Optima Groups research director Dennis Dolego.
When I apply the filter of fiduciary responsibility, I cant come to the conclusion that proprietary is the right thing to do, says Jeffrey Buckner, founder and chairman of St. Louis-based RIA Plancorp. As fiduciaries our role in life is to provide the best investment solutions to our clients that include risk control, diversification, and exposure to a broad range of asset classes. I havent seen any [proprietary products] that offers the degree of diversification that public products can offer.
Garman says that nothing prevents me from using Sanctuary [the firms platform provider] to offer investment themes that we dont specialize in.
The open vs. proprietary debate also extends to branding, according to Optima.
Open architecture used to be a very clear point of differentiation, Dolego says. But now its very difficult to differentiate the manager search and selection process that advisors use. Its more generic now, and theyre all going to the same managers.
The market crash and fallout from the financial crisis of 2008 also hurt open architecture, Dolego says.
Outside managers suffered just as much as proprietary managers, he says. Many outside managers looked like quasi-indexers and that is not a strong rationale for open architecture.
Then theres the matter of fees.
The key question is whether fees are fully disclosed, says John LaPann, chairman of Boston-based Federal Street Advisors, a fee-only wealth manager that does not offer proprietary products and only uses outside managers. Federal Street charges and tells clients that their all-in fee includes a payment to the firm and a fee that is paid to the underlying fund manager.
The problem, say critics, is when firms are compensated by asset managers or mutual funds for steering clients to their fund and that payment, or selling agreement, is not disclosed and passed through to the firm, as opposed to being passed along to the client in the form of a discounted fee.
Most institutions dont disclose everything they do in plain English, and the public is totally confused, says industry consultant Jamie McLaughlin. The irony is that proprietary products, whatever you may think of them, are shamelessly transparent. Its very clear that all the clients money goes to the firm that manufactures them.

There was a time in the not-too-distant past when large companies and powerful governments reigned supreme over the little guy. But new technologies are empowering individuals like never before, and the Davids of the world-the amateur journalists, musicians, and small businessmen and women-are suddenly making a huge economic and social impact.
In Army of Davids, author Glenn Reynolds, the man behind the immensely popular Instapundit.com, provides an in-depth, big-picture point-of-view for a world where the small guys matter more and more. Reynolds explores the birth and growth of the individual's surprisingly strong influence in: arts and entertainment, anti-terrorism, nanotech and space research, and much more.
The balance of power between the individual and the organization is finally evening out. And it's high time the Goliaths of the world pay attention, because, as this book proves, an army of Davids is on the rise.
"George Orwell feared that technology would enable dictators to enslave the masses. Glenn Reynolds shows that technology can empower individuals to determine their own futures and to defeat those who would enslave us. This is a book of profound importance-and also a darn good read." -MICHAEL BARONE, senior writer at U.S. News & World Report and author of Hard America, Soft America
"Blogger extraordinaire Glenn Reynolds shows how average Americans can use new technologies to overcome the twin demons of corporate greed and incompetent government. Reynolds is a compelling evangelist for the power of the individual to change our world." -ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, author of Pigs at the Trough and Fanatics and Fools
"A smart, fun tour of a major social and economic trend. From home-brewed beer to blogging, Glenn Reynolds is an engaging, uniquely qualified guide to the do-it-yourself movements transforming business, politics, and media." -VIRGINIA POSTREL, Forbes columnist and author of The Future and its Enemies and The Substance of Style
"A student in her dorm room now commands the resources of a multi-million dollar music recording or movie editing studio of not so many years ago. The tools of creativity have been democratized and the tools of production are not far behind (Karl Marx take note). Glenn Reynolds's beguiling new book tells the insightful story of how an 'army of Davids' is inheriting the Earth, leaving a trail of obsolete business models not to mention cultural, economic, and political institutions in its wake." -RAY KURZWEIL, scientist, inventor, and author of several books including The Singularity is Near
'Must-read,' 'gotta have,' 'culture-changing' . . . I am suspicious of blurbs with such overused plugs. But Glenn Reynolds's An Army of Davids is in fact a must-read new book that you gotta have if you are going to understand the culture-changing forces that are unleashed and at work across the globe. -HUGH HEWITT, syndicated talk radio host and author of Blog and Painting the Map Red
"Glenn Reynolds has written an essential book for understanding how technology and markets are creating a bottom-up shift in power to ordinary people that is changing business, government, and our world. Packed with fresh ideas and adorned with graceful prose, An Army of Davids is a masterpiece." -JOE TRIPPI, author of The Revolution Will Not Be Televised

Lyrical/ Contemporary- Ages 8-17
Levels I & II : 55 Minutes
Levels III+ : 1 1/2 Hours
The lyrical/ contemporary dance style is a beautiful fusion of Ballet, Jazz, Modern and dance from the soul. The use of lyrics from songs, emotions from everyday life, and instruction from the teacher, dancers will illuminate their hearts and souls while creating movement that inspires. Lyrical and Contemporary dance are the leading styles of dance for teens and adults, allowing for freedom of expression through movement.
HIp Hop- Ages 4+
This class consists of an hour of learning urban choreography while also developing the student's own style through dance improv and character exercises (facial expressions, stage presence, etc.). This class is all about high energy, lots of laughs and building confidence on and off the dance floor!

I hired Exceptionally Yours Weddings & Events for dance lessons and as a day-of coordinator for my out-of-town wedding. Crystal handled our dance lessons and preliminary day-off planning, and Storm acted as our day-of coordinator. My now husband and I were very happy with the service we received from both. Crystal is especially knowledgeable and was instrumental in ensuring things were taken care of beforehand, and Storm was wonderful at dealing with the hectic day-of events. I even got compliments from both guests and other vendors on Storm's professionalism and responsiveness! I would highly recommend them, as they great at what they do and are very affordable for the area.
They exceeded our expectations. She is an outstanding teacher. We are still receiving dance lessons. Bob & Carolyn Forston
No one has had any dance lessons yet (!), but she communicates a welcomed professionalism. She responds quickly and has a genuine enthusiasm for what she does.
It does not get better than these guys. We left our dance lessons till a week before wedding but still had high ambitions ( go figure) and somehow these two pros (not just in dancing but in kindness and communication...and realism) helped us achieve our dream dance in a realistic and effortless way. As a bride to have a professional actually behave professionally and take a burden off your shoulders and not just meet but exceed your high expectations the way they did is something I will forever be grateful for.
She taught a dance at my kids party, played games, did face painting. Thanks Shy!
Mark taught my husband and I our first dance for our multicultural wedding. My husband and I had no prior dance training, and are both definitely the "wallflower" type. Thinking of the first dance caused both of us a lot of anxiety. Until Mark came in and changed our whole world and whole perception of how fun dance can be. Mark was always patient, an outstanding teacher, and truly made our first dance special. Our wedding was a multi-day event with numerous ceremonies and traditions from families of two distinct cultures. But dance lessons with Mark were a welcome respite from the hectic planning of the wedding. Mark taught us more than just dancing, he taught my husband and I to establish "connection", teamwork, and trust through dance! Now, my husband and I love to dance and it has become part of our lives, all thanks to Mark. I highly recommend Mark. He is an excellent teacher and you will love every minute of your dance lessons!
My husband and I wanted to take dance lessons for a wedding we will be attending. Shannon Allen has been great! She has worked with our schedules, been on time, has emailed me with tips and suggestions, and she has made this fun for a "nervous" dancer :)
Arianna was an amazing dance instructor. My fiance and I learned our dance in just three lessons and feel confident that we will do great at our wedding, all thanks to Arianna! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!!
The job salsa dancing took place at studio 65 in Fresno CA. it took 8 weeks she help me with the Cross body lead and progressed turn,I was impressed with the consistency,above and beyond,, she was all ways on time.the quality of work was assem..I Experience the best, I only dance what she teach me and most girls like how i dance... Charla Wells Smith is a berry good instructor,, I personal recommended...
Philippe knows his dance moves. He's a great teacher! Very knowledgeable and clearly a great dancer.
Personal training, for Muay Thai, boxing and in general. I'm no pro, but Stephanie was outstanding!!! Very detailed oriented and the best workouts ever!! Also took some dance lessons, which were GREAT!! She was in dancing World Championships a few years back and her knowledge shows. AWESOME PERSONAL TRAINER- she can design the workouts to fit your needs. We miss her in New York City- send her back!!!
What a great dance teacher! I am so happy that I found Kathy Levyn. She is amazing. I have had several private lessons and am learning so much. She has so many ways to teach that make it easy and fun. She has a wonderful personality. The best part is I'm gaining more confidence. If you need a dance teacher, I'd highly recommend her. She got me to dance and I'm going to my first ballroom dance to test it out! I also went to a practice dance and I survived! I love it. I plan on being with Kathy for a long time. I love that she has flexible hours, her prices are very reasonable, she is fun to dance with, and is a very nice person. You will learn so much, have fun, and it is great exercise.
Adrienne is an amazing dance instructor. Of course, she can teach you the basics, but what sets her apart is her ability to recognize your strengths and weaknesses and works with each. She clearly understands the nuance of dancing, foot work, weight shifts and timing, and how important they are to become the kind of dancer you want to be, should you want to compete professionally or just feel comfortable on any dance floor. She she has the ability to explain clearly and concisely what she wants you to do and how to get there. Just take one dance lesson with her, and you will never want anyone else to teach you. I guarantee it.
Working With Sam Allen was the most amazing experience. Sam gave me private Hip Hop dance lessons and was phenomenal. He was encouraging, patient, and pushed me to my highest potential. Sam was accommodating, professional, and made me feel like a super star. He teaches at your pace and to your ability. I learned so much and had so much fun at the same time. I highly recommend Sam to anyone of all ages and levels of experience. There is no better teacher out there.
Artemi is an excellent dance teacher/coach. He takes the time to listen to his student's needs and goals. From that he bases his lesson plans. His private and group lessons are taught in segments and build on those segments so a beginner or advanced student can learn and grow. As a professional dancer, he has the knowledge and talent to work with his students on proper technique, physical strength, choreography, musicality and much more. He does this in a caring, supportive and fun way. But he also can be strict especially if preparing a student for a showcase or competition. Artemi is trained in American and International Latin and Ballroom dances. He also performs and competes proefssional with his partner pro dancer Erica Arnold. This helps him keep on top of his profession to then share with his students. I have grown as a person and dancer because of Artemi. He has helped me physically and mentally in my life. I look forward to my lessons whether it is to focus on technique, strengthen my core and/or just dance. As such, I would highly recommend Artemi Okunev.
Conchita Sader I thank you for helping me learn and understand body coordinations in dancing even just for a short period of time. You educate me by giving me simple easy details and giving me confidence to perform in public for the first time. I had fun in learning and will definitely recommend you to friends.
Erica is a fantastic ballroom dance teacher! She has extensive knowledge of all types and styles of dance, and has provided both me and my teenage son with invaluable technique in an easy-to-understand manner. She is always professional - prompt, communicative and consistent, but also fun! I feel she is vested in our success! I highly recommend Erica to all age groups looking for solid dance instruction!
Best instruction in the South Bay and most beautiful ballroom I've ever seen.
Every visit to Dance Daly Ballroom is a great day! The teaching quality is the best. The teachers are fun and want the best for every student, everyday. The other students are friendly and supportive and the atmosphere is inviting.
Misha is knowledge, professional and talented instructor, incredibly supportive and encouraging in every step of the way. Dancing is so much more than learning and performing steps, Misha teaches me skills and style and also motivates me to keep improving! I learned how to dance the right way, not just a few dance steps at a time. This what I wanted- a way to be good at what I wanted to do and he is the right person to do it with! Dancing gives me not only training but the confidence too. As a result of taking classes with him I was able to compete in Pro Am dance competitions. I'm looking forward to my dancing future!
Kevin is fun to work with and knows his dance moves! My fiance and I really enjoy our dance lessons with him!

AutoConnect Templates for Etsy, Amazon, eBay, iTunes
If you sell stuff on Etsy, Amazon, iTunes, or eBay, or if you have an account on Yelp, Facebook or Twitter, we created a new template category in MailChimp that makes it super easy to send your followers email campaigns that match your profile.
They're called "AutoConnect Templates" and all you have to do is connect MailChimp to your account, and we'll pull in your graphics and design a template for you automagically…
Let's say you're an Etsy artist.
An Etsy artist named Chet, who specializes in simian illustrations, to be specific. You've got a nice header graphic already setup on your Etsy profile, plus some "about me" information setup on your Etsy profile page:
You've done a bunch of work already making that page spiffy. Why reinvent the wheel in MailChimp?
Just go to our new autoconnect templates (available in step 3 of the campaign builder process):
Select the "Etsy" template:
Then MailChimp will prompt you to enter your store name.
You can find that in your browser's address bar when you visit your store:
Just plug that into MailChimp like this:
and then we'll ask you which one of your store listings you want to sync up with:
After you select your store, click the "Connect" button, and booyah — MailChimp will automatically build your HTML email for you:
Notice that the top paragraph is pulling in your profile info. You can (and should) edit that portion to talk to your fans. Tell them about your new stuff, and what inspired you to create it: "Howdy folks, I've just posted some new artwork to my Etsy store. I came up with the idea while I was on a trip with my wife to…" People love a good back story.
Okay, so all those "connection" steps I mentioned above for the Etsy Autoconnect template are basically the same for:
iTunes Template:
If you're a musician, you can update your fans when your latest album gets listed on iTunes. The template pulls in your album cover, includes a "buy" button, and lists all your songs. Write a custom note asking for a review, or just thanking your fans for making it possible.
Yelp Template:
Especially good for announcing upcoming events at your restaurant, and want to showcase recent reviews (and maybe get more reviews). The content blocks are editable, so you can replace them with whatever you want.
Amazon Books Template:
It's pretty exciting to finish writing a book and see it listed on Amazon (um, not that I'd ever know that). Nowadays, authors blog and tweet and build up a fan base to help them with grassroots and word-of-mouth marketing well before the book gets published. When your book finally "goes live," announce it to your closest fans with a beautiful template. It'll include your book cover, a big fat "buy" button, plus some customizable edit blocks.
eBay Template:
And there's even an eBay email template in the works (it's available in a "beta" version now) that'll sync up to your account and pull in your latest listings:
Built-in Facebook Like Button
You'll notice that all of the AutoConnect templates have our new integrated Facebook Like buttons baked right in (see why the Like button is so important now). So your fans can share your email with their friends, who can share it with their friends, and on and on.
Plus, we track all that likey-likey for you in your campaign stats:
Be sure to check out all the other social integrations we launched in MailChimp v5.2.
Promoting Your Creativity
We think if you're an artist, musician, or author, it's hard enough creating your stuff, let alone selling it. You certainly don't need to spend more time learning the ancient art of HTML email coding.
We wanted to make it one-click easy to just build a beautiful email, then send it to all your fans.
— legalese —
So uh, now's a good time to mention that MailChimp has absolutely no affiliation with any of these companies whatsoever (Etsy, iTunes, Apple, Yelp, Amazon, or eBay). No strategic partnerships, no implied relationships, or yadda yadda. We're just accessing them through their very handy APIs.

Gift Certificate Book
I stamped and colored 6519L Gift Certificate onto white cardstock several times and decorated each with an image from Med. Cube 10315 Sweet Delights. Then I trimmed them to measure 3" x 5 1/8". For the covers, I cut one 3" x 5 1/8" piece and one 3" x 5 3/4" piece from Darcie's PAC1075 Pastel/Brown Stripes printed cardstock.
On the longer cover piece, I used my Scor-It Board to score at the 5 1/8" and 5 1/4" marks. Then I bound the certificates and covers with the CarlaCraft Binding System and an 8mm white coil. Finally, I folded the scored flap around the right side of the booklet and added a pair of Basic Grey Magnetic Snaps to hold it closed:
I decorated the front cover with 0034G Cake Slice Monkey, which was cut out with a circle Nestabilities die and layered onto the coordinating scalloped circle:
And there you go...instant homemade birthday gift!

Very cute. I do love that binding system too. I purchased one from you @ the Hamburg, NY show. I recently used it to make a homemade scrapbook.

Aw, you're so sweet! How did you know it was my birthday soon? (Oh yeah, we already celebrated it). I don't know how we're going to do the chick flick night when we live 3,000 miles apart, tho. Shoot! LOL! :) Cute idea, Jackie! xoxo Darcie

I think you'll have lots of fun with it, Jessica...the CarlaCraft Binding System is such a neat tool! Sure did, Debbie (as you know from my email), and thank you. :-) And, Darcie, you are TOO funny! Wow, three birthdays in one year and yet you never age. You're really on a roll! ;-)

text: Hi there, My name is Marc and I'm writing a tracker software originally geared towards gameconsole (first GP32 but now GP2X, PC, Mac) and since I got this lovely eee, I'm planning on porting it to debian-derived platforms. Actually it works already but the SDL version I have uses oss and it seems to hickup sometimes although the cpu power consumption seems fine. Other programs (vlc/audacity) seems no to reflect this problem so I guess it's due to the fact they use ALSA while the SDL I got doesn't. When configuring SDL, it seems not to include ALSA (by not finding alsa/soundlib.h) and I'd like to add it but I'm a little confused on the step to follow. ALSA seems to be installed but I guess I miss the includes and compiling libs. Does it mean I need to configure/compile alsa-lib ? Do I risk corrupting my system if the installed libraries are not compatible ? Sorry for the rambling, but I'm only a beginner in terms of developping audio apps under linux. Regards, Marc.

Erbanna Is the Line of Bags That Weed Smokers Don't Even Know How Badly They Need
Having an organized and stylish place to keep your weed that you can leave out in plain sight is an option any adult deserves.
Back when I wrote about whether it was time to bring indian print shirts back into fashion, the shirt itself garnered some fan mail. It turns out readers not only thought it was time to bring it back; they also thought it was time to buy it. Immediately. Online. And they wanted to know where. The nerve!
I kid. The truth is, I Googled and Googled and didn't even know what I was searching for since "indian print shirt" yields only results of the Native American variety...
and then I got sidetracked and sort of forgot about the project. Then reader Alyssa Ettinger sent along a link and once I learned there's a manufacturer of these cotton tees called Geeta, I was off to the races! See a few of my picks below.
Incidentally, it's amazing what comes up when you Google "geeta shirts" -- the search results might as well say "people who have worn geeta shirts have also enjoyed Birkenstocks and dashikis and mukluks." OK, I may own some mukluks, and the dashiki is looking pretty good to me ... but I think I'll hold off on the Birks for now.
Geeta Printed Tee-Shirt, $16, BeanesClothing.com
Geeta Indian Print Shorties, $7, BeanesClothing.com
Geeta Long-Sleeved Shirt, $24, BohemianGrooveBazaar.com
Pink Geeta T-Shirt, $19, BohemianGrooveBazaar.com
What '90s relic/ridiculously crunchy item do you have hiding in your closet? Be honest.

South Philly Italian Roast Pork Sandwich
This sandwich is a variation on one that Steve Kline, general manager for Metz at this school district, once sampled at Citizens Bank Ballpark, in Philadelphia. "It's something a little bit different," Kline says, "and we already receive USDA commodity pork, so it was a natural." He admits that the broccoli rabe is sometimes a difficult sell to students, but since sandwiches are made to order, customers can leave that off. "But the key to a great sandwich," he adds, "is a good sharp provolone."
1 18- to 22-lb. USDA pork blade roast
5 tbsp. chopped garlic
5 tbsp. chopped dried rosemary
5 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp. salt
2 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
4 tbsp. olive oil
4 lb. broccoli rabe
Salt as needed
5 qt. water
¾ cup olive oil
½ to ¾ tsp. red pepper flakes
4 to 5 garlic cloves, chopped
Salt to taste
36 to 40 crusty Italian hoagie rolls
2 ½ lb. sliced sharp provolone cheese
- Put pork roast on cutting board. Mix next six ingredients in bowl. Score top of roast to allow some of rub mixture to get into meat. Rub mixture over all exposed surfaces of meat.
- Place roast in roasting pan on roasting rack. Place in oven and cook at 500°F for 30 minutes. Turn oven down to 275°F and roast for 2 ½ to 3 hours.
- Remove pork from oven; let set 30 minutes. Slice thin. Reserve juices that accumulated in roasting pan.
- For broccoli rabe: Wash thoroughly and cut about ½ inch off bottom of stems. Cut florets off top and set aside.
- Bring 5 quarts salted water to a rolling boil. Add broccoli rabe leaves and stems and cook about 1 ½ minutes, then add florets and cook until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove broccoli from boiling water and drain, but reserve about ¼ to ½ cup of cooking liquid.
- In deep sauté pan, heat olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic and salt as needed over medium heat. Once garlic begins to sauté, sauté about 2 minutes, until very lightly browned, then add drained broccoli rabe. Sauté about 3 to 5 minutes longer, then add cooking liquid from pot. This should look a little soupy.
- To assemble: Slice roll most of way through, then toast if desired. Add slice of sharp provolone cheese, then top with about 8 ounces hot meat. Top with broccoli rabe generously, if desired, and serve.

Former speaker of Parliament PA Sangma's National People's Party received a major blow yesterday when Election Commission suspended recognition of the party as NPP failed to file statement of its election expenditure. This is the first time ever that the Election Commission has taken such a step of suspending recognition of a political party that failed to "follow the Lawful directions of the Commission". Statement of EC reads that the concerned step against NPP was undertaken under Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order 1968. Officials of the election watchdog clarified that the steps undertaken are not derecognition of the party as such and the suspension order can be revoked if Sangma's NPP files "appropriate" statement and satisfies the needs of the Election Commission. However, officials also said that this action is final warning before derecognition and Sangma's party will be treated as derecognised till the suspension lasts.
Charles Correa, who is known as the face of urban modern architecture in India post independence, has died after suffering from a brief illness. At the time of his death he was 84 years old. Family sources of the "greatest architect" said that his last rites will be performed tomorrow in Mumbai. He was the main architect of Madhya Pradesh's assembly building and Gujarat's Mahatma Gandhi Memorial in Ahmedabad. He shot to fame when he became National Commission on Urbanisation's first chairman and went on to receive international awards such as Royal Gold Medal, Praemium Imperiale of Japan and Aga Khan Award for Architecture. Charles Correa was the main architect of Navi Mumbai in 1970s. In 1972, he received Padma Shri award. Correa was renowned for building good quality low-income houses. He was conferred with Padma Vibhushan in the year 2006.
Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad announced that national telecom operator, BSNL, is readying itself to set up 40,000 WiFi hot spots throughout India by the year 2018. Reports say that the tenders for setting up those hotspots across India will require an investment of Rs. 6,000 crore. Tender for the project is learnt to be issued by July 2015. Telecom Minister made this announcement during launch of WiFi facility at Taj Mahal. Reports say that BSNL has set up Wi-Fi facility in Taj Mahal in sync with the Union Government's plan of providing Wi-Fi facility at major tourist sports across the country. Anupam Shrivastava, CMD of BSNL, said that two hundred Wi-Fi hotspots have already being set up in different locations of India. In the ongoing year, the company will set up another two hundred WiFi hot spots at an estimated Rs 500 crore cost.
Reports say that junior table tennis squad of Pakistan has been issued Indian Visa so that they can participate in South Asian Cadet and Junior Table Tennis Championship. Table Tennis Federation of India's Secretary General, Dhanraj Choudhary, said that four countries including Pakistan, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka confirmed participation in the tournament. Sources say that the junior Pakistani paddlers have reached the game arena and they came by road through the Wagah border. He went o to add that Bangladeshi table tennis players are yet to receive their visa but Choudhury hoped that they will receive them by today and will also reach India the same day. Sports diplomatic channels believe granting Indian Visa to Paskitani paddlers is a big move especially after blame game erupted between the two neighbours regarding the non-issuance of visa to Pakistani wrestlers for Cadet Asian Wrestling Championship.
India's ace tennis player Rohan Bopanna along with his Romanian partner Florin Mergea has yet again put up a good show in the doubles tournament for men at Gerry Weber Open after triumphing at Stuttgart Open, just a few days back. The Indo-Romanian duo entered quarter finals after defeating Ukrainian - Czech pair Sergiy Stakhovsky and Luka Rosol by 2-6 6-3 10-8. Bopanna-Mergea duo was no-match in the very first set of the match as the Ukrainian-Czech were off with a flying start. They won a couple of break points and rested the first set at 6-2. However, Rohan Bopanna and his partner bounced back well and clinched the second set rather easily from Stakhovsky-Rasol pair 6-3. Though they made a few double faults at crucial juncture, they were successful in winning the second set. In the third set, Indo-Romanian played a good match to win 10-8.
PM Narendra Modi called Pakistan's PM Nawaz Sharif and extended him best wishes on Ramzan, starting today. He stressed upon importance of friendly, cooperative, and peaceful bilateral ties. The call comes at an important juncture when the tension between the two countries increased after Indian military carried out successful cross-border covert operation in Myanmar to nail militant camps. Sharif, in turn, said that Pakistan-India must work together for peace and put aside the differences. As a gesture of goodwill, PM Modi also conveyed to Sharif that India has decided to release detained Pakistani fishermen. John Kerry, US secretary of state, also called Sharif and discussed about their bilateral ties along with the heightened tension between Pakistan and India. While Modi thanked Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina for successful Bangladesh visit and lauded "extraordinary hospitality", he assured "steadfast commitment" of supporting Afghanistan during telephonic conversation with Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani.
Indian Ambassador Arun K. Singh has said while giving a keynote address at New York's Asia Society on the topic "India under Modi: One Year In" that during the last one year of Narendra Modi government India's terms of engagement with the US has changed markedly. As per his speech, this has become possible due to the purposeful diplomacy coupled with India's rapid transformation, as envisioned by Modi government. He highlighted "optimism" and comparative "ease of doing business" in India during the last one year of Modi's tenure. He also pointed out that relationship with the US has transformed in the last one year and lots of new progresses are in the offing in the coming years. Arun K. Singh also lauded the positive personal chemistry between PM Narendra Modi and US President Barack Obama, which gave a solid political foundation for improving the bilateral relation.
With the raging Lalit Modi controversy, senior BJP leader and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's name has also been dragged in after that of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj. As per the documents released by ex-IPL chief Lalit Modi's lawyer, Vasundhara Raje not only supported Lalit's immigration plea (back in 2011 when she was leader of opposition) but also helped him get permit for staying in UK. Raje denied the charges and claimed her ignorance about the documents. However, she acknowledged that she knows the family of Lalit Modi. Increasing BJP's embarrassment, ED has found that Lalit Modi had given Rs. 11.63 crore to one of the firms owned by Dushyant Singh, BJP MP from Jhalawar-Baran and son of Vasundhara Raje. Ex-IPL Commissioner has refuted the charges and went on to say that he approached both Sushma Swaraj and Vasundhara Raje because of his ill wife's health treatment abroad.
Takehiko Nakao, President of Asian Development Bank, (ADB), proposed increasing lending to India to $12 billion by the year 2018. The proposed lending limit is almost 50 per cent more than the existing lending. ADB currently lends $7 billion-$9 billion to India on sovereign and non-sovereign lending heads. According to the proposal, they look forward to increase lending to $10 billion-$12 billion during 2016-2018. As per available information, this increased lending will be done under expanded lending capacity of ADB. This information has been given by Takehiko Nakao while he was talking to the media, after meeting Venkaiah Naidu (Urban Development Minister) and Arun Jaitley (Union Finance Minister). As per ADB President's statement, annual lending capacity of ADB is going to be jacked up from US$ 13 billion to US$20 billion by merging lending operations of Asian Development Fund with balance sheet of Ordinary Capital Resources.
Central Bank of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has announced that they will wait for the Supreme Court verdict on the collection of Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) on FIIs' capital gains and until then will not resort to any kind of coercive methods to collect the pending amount. Anita Kapur, Chairperson of CBDT, told media that in case of appeals the organisation can ask its Assessing Officers (AOs) to not agitate on the slapped MAT on FIIs. She went on to say that this formula has already being applied for two other contentious tax cases, the first one for Vodafone and the other for Shell. Though she claimed that on the issue of slapping MAT on FIIs was a correct decision and was done in the right process, the final outcome will depend on the verdict given by Supreme Court.
Though India's BoP has improved recently due to decreased import bill (owing to sharp fall in crude oil prices internationally), available data shows that goods exports from India has dropped 20.19 per cent in May 2015, straight 6th month fall in export. Reports say that at end of May 2015, Indian exports stand at US $22.34 billion and the decelerating pace is mainly due to slowing Chinese economy. However, the sharp fall in export activities have mostly being compensated by the 16.52 per cent fall in import bills of India, owing to sharp fall in petroleum bill. Commerce Ministry's data shows that trade deficit has narrowed down from May 2014's US $11.23 billion to $10.4 billion in May 2015. SC Ralhan, President of FIEO, has asked the government to step in act (asking for stimulus package) to arrest this steep decline.

For a taste of New England, you needn't go very far. Just a 70-minute train trip out of Grand Central Station takes you from the hectic city jungle to the sleepy village of Southport in Fairfield County, Connecticut, populated by 1,585 souls as of the 2010 census.
In this village of stately mansions and white picket fences (and anxious neighbors who peek out from behind curtains if you linger to admire too long), there are some endearingly quirky points—especially for inured city veterans.
The Pequot Library, founded in 1889 and built in Romanesque revival style, is the town's social hub (pequotlibrary.org). On its pretty manicured lawn, it hosts community events from Kentucky Derby parties to a potluck supper and campout to mark the start of the summer. The latter event is complete with a limbo line, chalk art, badminton, and a big pillow fight, with the option of pitching a tent overnight. Try doing that on the Bryant Park lawn.
The library's resident bunny leads the Fourth of July bike parade, escorted by Fairfield Police. This is a working bunny, mind you—to whom young patrons can read, and check out (much like a library book), and take for a stroll round the block in a "Puffmobile."
On Southport's historic main street, you'll find a couple of antique shops, an art gallery, a dive bar, a sandwich shop, and the enduring Switzer's Pharmacy, which looks on the inside as though time stopped decades ago.
For visitors, there is the uncrowded Southport Beach, open to the public, which offers views and breezes from Long Island Sound.
And for food lovers, the real draw is one Frederic Kieffer, the executive chef of Artisan Restaurant, Tavern & Garden, located at the Delamar Southport hotel—and he is worth the trip (artisansouthport.com).
French-born Kieffer racked up experience at Taillevent and Le Chiberta before heading to New York, where he worked at Windows on the World and Water's Edge. In Connecticut, he opened the well-received l'escale and Gaia.
I watched him work one evening as he whipped up a 10-course tasting menu for about 15 guests in one of the hotel's private venues. In each dish, he made exquisite use of different local single-origin honeys from the purveyor he uses, Red Bee Honey.
For example, he used pumpkin blossom honey to make BBQ sauce for the meatballs he served over Anson Mills middlins (grits made from broken rice, if you will). The middlins gave the dish a creamy, gorgeous texture—a perfect carrier for the sauce. It was a sort of ultimate comfort food, and being the sixth course, I had to wonder what could come next.
For the seventh course, Kieffer offered bread with Roquefort, home churned butter, and goldenrod honey. He's a man of few words and of great humility, and when he made an appearance from the kitchen, it was to recognize the hard work of the farmers he worked with—without which his own work would be nothing—and to say that butter and cheese should be experienced together. It was a winning combination: fat upon fat with a dose of honey, like a surfeit of goodness that had to be experienced to be believed.
He even managed to find a great use for buckwheat honey—that robust, dark honey with malty flavor—pairing it with caramelized pecans and homemade Guinness ice cream.
The regular, seasonal fare at Artisan is characterized by the same reverence for ingredients.
I'm not one to chase superfoods when I eat, but without hesitation I would order his Super Food Chopped Salad on the basis of the effect on my tastebuds alone. It sounds fairly straightforward: kale, butterhead, quinoa, avocado, blueberries, and sunflower seeds. This salad, bound by a light toasted coriander dressing, just grows on you: the pleasant toothsomeness of the quinoa set off against the crunch of the sunflower seeds and the burst of the blueberries keeps you going back for more.
You could top this off with your choice of flame broiled salmon, calamari, chicken, or hanger steak and make it a complete, delicious meal, but I wouldn't. There's much more to explore.
The classically trained Kieffer makes in-house charcuterie, including a stellar chicken liver mousse. With some slices of grilled bread (topped with a bit of olive oil and sea salt), the mousse is a harmonious match for the slight bitterness of the frisée and the pop of tangy pickled cherries.
For a taste of spring, try the gorgeous Roasted Beet Mosaic with hazelnut, cherry tomato, and goat cheese; or the "Burratina" Primavera, which similarly bursts with color, from the fresh English peas, corn, and roasted tomato ($15).
The fresh seafood dishes are well worth ordering, from the New England Seafood Chowder with mushroom and fennel crackers, to the springtime Lemon Lobster Risotto, with farro, artichoke, corn, spinach, and lobster essence.
Spare some space for dessert as well if you can manage. From tarts to cheesecakes, they have the same delicious, seasonal sensibility as the savory dishes.
The restaurant itself has a Swedish farmhouse design sensibility, with clean lines and yet a cozy feel. Inside, a floral mural by painter Jonas Wickman depicts white tulips and magnolia branches, bringing nature indoors; outside, in the four-season courtyard, fragrant herbs pave the way to the restaurant entrance.
A Weekend Trip
Out of town visitors can easily turn a trip to Artisan into a weekend away, with a stay at the comfortable boutique Delamar Southport (delamarsouthport.com; rates start from $259 per night in low season and $299 per night in high season). For those who don't want to bother with a car, the hotel picks up visitors at the train station and offers rides within a 3-mile radius. That includes not only Southport Beach but also the residents-only Sasco Beach. They'll pack a towel and water for you and pick you up at an appointed time.
The hotel provides complimentary bikes for riding along the back roads and taking in the sights of mansions built in the Greek revival, federal, and colonial styles.
Dogs up to 50 pounds are welcomed at the hotel with a personalized dog tag, a dog bed, bowls, and a welcome treat (for humans, it's a glass of sherry or port).
There are a variety of promotional packages available, from Queens for a Day: A Royal Spa Getaway for groups of friends (a package for five starts at $1,495), to Summer in Southport for two (a package for two starts at $294). The latter includes, among other things, transportation to the beaches, a picnic lunch from Artisan, and—oh, the Delamar knows the town's assets so well—the hotel's library card for use at the Pequot Library.

With the summer in full effect starting next week, everyone is trying to lose fat. What one place does everyone turn to for rapid fat loss? Well the treadmill of course. In reality, you don't need to use the treadmill to get a great cardio workout. Here's three other options that you have to try.
1. Strength training cardio
Sounds weird right? Everyone knows about strength training and about cardio but most people never realize about the hybrid form of strength training cardio. No, it's not some form of jumping rope while you squat or anything crazy like that. It's simply a combination of strength training work doing in an interval training fashion for a short burst of time.
A popular example is weighted vest stair running. I recently released the Resurrection Interval Training workout, which is based around strength training cardio. It's so intense that you don't have to spend even 30 minutes doing it.
2. Kettlebell work
I LOVE kettlebells for extra cardio so much that I keep a pair in my basement. While I'm not a intense kettlebell person like others that you'd find online, I do know the value for performing them as cardio. I prefer them over the treadmill because there easier on your joints and provide you with a great cardio workout.
Follow this kettlebell cardio workout
1) Single Arm Kettlebell Swings 3 sets of 30 seconds each arm
2) Double Arm Kettlebel Swings 3 sets of 15 reps
3)Kettlebell Push-ups 3 sets of 12 reps
4) Kettlebell Figure 8's 3 sets of 10 reps
Just try that kettlebell workout, you'll love it!
3. Bodyweight workouts
I LOVE bodyweight workouts in the summer time. In the winter you're stuck in your basement but with the weather being warm, it's perfect to get outside and hit it hard.
What makes bodyweight workouts so effective is that you don't have an external weight that will help to stabilize you, it's up to your own body. Plus, you have to challenge your body with different angles since you don't have extra weight. This works both your aerobic and anaerobic system, which makes bodyweight workout so much more effective.
Check out my Calorie Scorch Bodyweight DVD. You get instant access to this 4 weeks, 3 days per week program so you can start right now. Plus you get me coaching you every single workout, just follow a long.

Your Quick Guide to Mobile Phone on Finance
Mobile Phone on Finance
Do you want an iPhone 7 or maybe a Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge but can't afford to buy it upfront? The iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge are available at a starting price of £599 and £569 for 32GB storage respectively. Unfortunately, most people can't afford to spend that amount of money on a single payment. Fortunately, there are other options available so you can own the latest high-end smartphones without breaking the bank or your budget.
What is a mobile phone on finance?
One option is to buy your mobile phone on finance. Financing your phone essentially means that you are taking out a loan to purchase the phone. In return, you'll have a monthly fee you need to pay typically over a 12-month or 24-month period depending on the amount and your repayment term.
Mobile phone on finance is not the same as getting a contract phone. With a contract phone, you'll be tied up to a service provider where you get a combination of bundle plan and handset option. Like mobile phone financing, you will need to pay a fixed monthly fee over a 24-month or 36-month period. Once the contract is up, the phone is yours and you're free to continue the contract and pay only for the bundle plan. Unlike mobile phone financing, it's not as easy to get approved for a contract phone.
Why finance your mobile phone?
If you want a new smartphone and have bad credit under your belt, getting approved for a contract phone isn't going to be easy. You'll likely get rejected outright. If you've ever been refused a contract phone before, don't give up just yet. If you buy your mobile phone on finance, you'll have a better chance of getting approved. Not all phones are available for this type of financing. Financing typically is only available for selected devices with a value between £300 and £1,000 or more depending on your provider. Mobile phone financing is available online. And the best part, you don't need to pay a deposit to get approved quickly.
How to apply for mobile phone financing?
Apply for mobile phone financing is pretty simple. There are typically three steps to complete. First, you must choose your phone. Second, you need to select a SIM plan and finally, choose your financing plan. Depending on your needs and budget, there are a number of flexible plans available.
What are different mobile phone financing options?
If you want a short term plan, the shortest term available is 12 months at 0% APR representative. If your application is successful, you'll receive interest-free credit to finance your mobile phone purchase available for selected devices. In case 12 months is too short and you want a longer term, you can always opt for a 24-month mobile phone financing. Just like the 12-month plan, you'll get 0% APR for your deal and there's no deposit needed as well.
If you're still looking for a longer term, there's another option available at 36-month mobile phone financing. For this type of financing, there's a representative APR involved typically at around 10 to 15%. This means that you'll have to pay interest on top of your mobile phone's cost.
Who can apply for mobile phone on finance?
To be eligible for this type of financing, you must be 18 years old or over on the date of your application. You must also be a permanent UK resident for a minimum of three years. You'll also need to provide proof of income whether through permanent employment, self-employment or regular pension if retired.

The team spent the night in a motel, had breakfast and was on the road just outside Roanoke when its bus stopped. The coach, J. M. "Suey" Eason, ordered everybody out but the driver, and then the bus moved down the road two or three miles. Those who had been riding home in victory suddenly found themselves running along a new stretch of highway to catch up.

The Seahawks quarterback awkwardly bent his knee when 49ers linebacker Eli Harold landed on his left leg during a sack in Sunday's game.
Russell Wilson will not miss any time if he can help it.
Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has confirmed that an MRI exam on Monday revealed the quarterback sustained a sprained MCL in his left knee during the win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Nonetheless, NFL.com report the team is optimistic that Wilson will be ready to play on Sunday on the road against the New York Jets.
"He's in good spirits, just like you would think," Carroll said on KIRO-AM. "He has no intention of thinking anything other than that he's playing."
The injury was sustained when Wilson was sacked in the third quarter by 49ers linebacker Eli Harold, who fell onto his leg and caused the knee to bend awkwardly.
Although Wilson finished the series, back-up Trevone Boykin entered the game in his place on Seattle's next possession with the Seahawks holding a 27-3 lead.
The team eventually escaped with a 37-18 victory against their NFC West rivals without their first-choice QB, moving to 2-1 for the season.
"I don't think it's severe as it looked," Wilson said after the game. "I have good mobility. You always feel better when you win."
Wilson, who has been battling a right ankle injury since Week 1, threw for 233 yards in the first half and finished 15 from 23 for 243 yards and a touchdown overall. He has yet to miss a start in his five-year NFL career.
