Words – Olivia Harvey
From the editors of HelloGiggles
The couple that promotes each other's creative endeavours, stays together! Liam Hemsworth just supported his fiancé, Miley Cyrus, by promoting her latest music video on Instagram.
Hemsworth reposted a snippet of Cyrus' video for her single Malibu that Cyrus had posted on her own account. (The video and song premiered earlier today and fans are loving it).
What's even cuter is the fact that Cyrus wrote Malibu for Hemsworth. She told Billboard that she wrote the song while in an Uber on the way to The Voice — you know, as you do.
Cyrus said she wanted to share her first hand account of how she felt in her relationship rather than have tabloids speculate rumours.
After the last break between she and Hemsworth, Cyrus dove into her work and barely came up for air. She told Billboard: 'I needed to change so much. And changing with someone else not changing like that is too hard.
'Suddenly you're like, "I don't recognise you any more." We had to re-fall for each other.'
They did 're-fall' for each other and judging by the lyrics in Malibu, they've been strong ever since.
One of the lyrics that stands out and makes our hearts smiles is: 'I never would have believed you if three years ago you told me I'd be here writing this song. But here I am. Next to you.'
We are so in love with Hemsworth and Cyrus' love. We can't wait to hear the other songs Cyrus has tucked away.
If they're as candid and wonderful as Malibu, then we are already huge fans!

Dear St.Jude, Please pray for me. I need a miracle. I've been trying to hold things together for my family. The last ten or more years I've been under a lot of stress. I've had the responsibility of taking of my family(my daughter and her three children,my son who has a mental illness,and helping with his daughter). I'm burnt out. My finances are gone.
I've worked for over 30 years,and everything is gone. I've made a mess of my life because I didn't know how to Let Go. Job opportunities are bleak, I'm 55 years old and to my regret didn't go back to school for additional training. No one else in my home is even trying to help. I'm sorry that I'm being lengthy,but my mind has been going to a very dark place lately. I want to LIVE in the Victory of Jesus Christ. I want to be at peace and free. Please pray for me.Thank you Lord. In faith through the Precious Blood of the Lamb Jesus Christ.

The starting concept behind the Van der Velden® FLEX Tunnel is its ability to retract. With the tunnel embedded into the vessel hull, resistance is lowered and efficiency increased.
When sailing in shallow waters the Van der Velden® FLEX Tunnel is deployed to ensure sufficient water flow to the propellers and maintain their efficiency. Vessels fitted with the retractable tunnel remain operational for longer than other vessels in shallow waters. In addition, it is possible to optimise the hull design so that the cargo space and loading capacity can be increased. Smaller propellers and rudders can be installed, reducing both weight and draught in equal measure.
Another benefit comes from the way the Van der Velden® FLEX Tunnel is mounted on the nozzle: the retractable tunnel is seamlessly constructed over the nozzle, stopping any false air infiltration between the nozzle and tunnel. Moreover, the Van der Velden® FLEX Tunnel is approximately 66% the size of a conventional tunnel, resulting in lower resistance.
Van der Velden offers integrated solutions for the entire on-board propulsion and manoeuvring system. The Van der Velden® FLEX Tunnel is developed to be combined and integrated with the Van der Velden® XR rudders and XR spoilers. This complete package ensures optimal efficiency and considerable fuel savings.
Why Van der Velden® choose the FLEX tunnel:
ApplicationMost suitable for inland vessels of all sizes. The FLEX tunnel performs ideally in deep water, but is also operational for longer periods in very shallow water.
Van der Velden® XR Rudder
The Van der Velden® XR rudder systems are especially developed for optimal propulsion efficiency in combination with first-class manoeuvring characteristics, which comes from a rudder angle of 80°
The accurate and intelligent design of the rudder trunk only requires one grease filling. Its eco-friendly design saves money and reduces the use of lubricants.Read More
Van der Velden® FLEX flanking Rudder
The Van der Velden® FLEX retractable flanking rudder system is an in-house innovation by VDVMS, to bring new efficiency to the inland shipping industry.
The flanking rudder is especially designed to increase water flow to the propellers of the vessels, reduce vessel drag and increase propulsive efficiency.Read More
2DWK Steering gear
The 2DWK is an exceptionally sturdy, asymmetrical steering gear especially developed for Van der Velden® Hydro Dynamic rudders and the Van der Velden® XR rudder systems.
The 2DWK steering gear is suitable for every type of vessel, but it is mainly designed for inland vessels.Read More
4DWKK Steering gear
With its ultra-sturdy and maintenance friendly design, 4 DWK steering gear is suitable for every type of vessel.
This steering gear offers unprecedented manoeuvring capabilities especially when combined with HD rudders or Van der Velden® XR rudders.Read More
SP 2700 Control
A unique characteristic of the SP 2700 is its software, which simplifies and improves the start-up process, maintenance and services.
Three options are built into the system, allowing you to choose between main or pilot steering or directly linked emergency steering. FU steering is optional. Alarms are indicated directly on the SP 2700 bridge panel.Read More
HP 7000 Control
HP 7000 Steering Installation is the world's safest proportional hydraulic installation.
As the rudder position indicator has its own backup system, this unique steering installation is completely independent of the electrical system.Read More

To sweeten the pot for this event track owner Bob Dimino & Mid Atlantic .90 President Rob Keister are putting up a guaranteed $1,500 to win in all three classes on Saturday & Sunday along with a one-of a kind laser cut trophy done by S&W Race Cars and big checks courtesy of Inmotion Solutions.

Rob will be located on the right side of the track as the .90 cars will be parked on the other side of the track and working out of those lanes (Look for the banner). The series pays back at 3rd round loser based on car counts. We will also have a racers BBQ on Saturday Night that is free to all the racers and crew who participated that day. If you have any questions feel free to contact Rob Keister @ email@example.com or 856-332-2851.
Friday Night – Gates open at 5:00pm (Gates will probably be open earlier for us to park but, they close them around 4:30 so no stragglers get in for the Friday Night deal free.)
Saturday Race– Gates Open At 9AM – Jr. Dragster time runs start at 10:30 AM, Jr. Dragster Eliminations at 12:00 PM, Street-Pro-S/Pro-M/C Time Trials start at 1:30 PM, Eliminations start at 3:30 PM (Subject to Change). I'm going to try to get us started a little earlier so those who want to double enter and run the bracket race can do so.
Sunday Race – Gates Open At 8:00AM – Jr. Dragster time runs start at 9:00 AM, Jr. Dragster Eliminations at 11:00 AM, Street-Pro-S/Pro-M/C Time Trials start at 11:30 AM, Eliminations start at 1:00 PM. Depending on car counts, weather and new entries this could be a 1 and go for the day but, that is TBD and will decide on that day.

Lame Duck Heeds the Quacks of Lobbyists: Pushes Final Changes
Like the eye of some monstrous storm, the Thanksgiving season has come, promising some kind of respite from the terrible news in the financial sector, the worse news of the opaque nature of the bailout and the fact that it's boom-time for the repo business. We can take a break, watch football, stuff our faces and forget about the world for a second.
All of us can even be thankful for a president-elect who seems capable of deep thought and the ability to understand complex problems. Most of us can also be thankful that we don't have a mortgage that is crumbling beneath our feet. And those of us operating highly-polluting power plants, unsustainable ocean fisheries, mountaintop strip mines and anti-democratic lobbying companies in Washington can be thankful that the Bush administration is still in office until Jan. 20.
Bureaucrats and partisan hacks have been scrambling in the waning days of the Bush administration to dismantle regulations and write new rules for a number of industry groups, rules that, once in effect, will be next to impossible to undo. While rushing through (de)regulations at the end of a term is not unprecedented (the Clinton administration took the tactic to new heights), the Bush administration is notable for its organized push here at the end to systematically undermine regulations governing our health, the viability of world fisheries and even those "snow-capped" mountains.
Everything from "the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam" will get a little less song-worthy if the policies go through. Even regulations in the financial sector, now recognized as a necessity to prevent risk and the kind of recession/depression that we are in now (and which will continue) are coming under attack from the White House. The administration apparently didn't get the memo about kindness during the holiday season.
Among the 90 or so new rules that Americans will never get to vote on, nor have our elected representatives vote on, are the following: tighter restrictions on family and medical leave for government employees, the management of oil spills, heightened levels of noxious gas emissions allowed at the nations dirtiest power plants, easing restrictions on mountain-top mining, allowing for further exploitation of endangered coastal fisheries, relaxing drinking-water standards and generally making the world a dirtier, more unsafe and unpleasant place for people to live in, which seems to fit right in with the administration's motivating principal for the last eight years.
Indeed, the administration has said that it just "wants to finish what it started," which is a reference to either its policy initiatives or to the willful destruction of the world economy. It's sometimes difficult to tell the difference. And while we might hope that an Obama administration will overturn these rules or stop them before they can go into effect, there is little that the new administration can do without a long, complicated and politically-fraught regulatory proceeding.
This, of course, is what should happen all the time, with public comment and mandated reanalysis — not just when one wants to repeal regulations, but when one wants to craft them as well. A more democratic, transparent process might stop these kinds of soul-crushing policies from going through, but we shouldn't hold our breath waiting for unelected policy-makers to give back power.
That being said, the policies are good for some people, such as those businesses and lobbying interests that have crafted policy and have run the show during the entire length of the Bush administration. Not to mention those people at the top of industries that do not want to be forced to adapt to new realities in energy, pollution and competition in the world market. And don't forget the anti-democratic forces representing industry in Washington that lobby for yet further deregulation and a process sealed from public debate and input. Health insurance companies that want to continue denying the claims of their poor policy holders will have happy holidays.
All these people can have an even nicer Thanksgiving, praising the Bush administration and the sham of a democratic process that allows them to thrive. The rest of us, however, will have to content ourselves with giving thanks to the existence of hope, however fleeting, and to the very unknowable possibility of the future. There might not be much turkey in it, but maybe someone will leave us some left-overs.

Some things are so good or special that you'd rather not let other people in on them. But Parfum Obscure, the love child of Dutch interior designers Xander Vervoort and Leon van Boxtel, deserves recognition.
"You could say our fragrance is the product of an obsession."
"During our travels, we became obsessed with fragrances", they say. "We collected all sorts of ingredients, took home everything we deemed interesting, and went to work. You could say our fragrance is the product of an obsession." With agarwood, also known as "oud", at its heart, Parfum Obscure is equal parts intoxicating, potent, spicy, sticky, and animalistic.

When I first started running I was introduced to parkrun. At the time there was not many around Cape Town but now there are so many around there is bound to be one in your neighborhood. Root 44 was just around the corner and perfect location to get the running shoes dirty.
I remember that day as if it was yesterday. I struggled. I huffed. I puffed. I felt like I was going to fall over when I crossed the line. I got home and my legs were sore. My muscles ached for 2 or 3 days after that.
After that I knew I had to start running more regularly. I started jogging at work at lunch time about 4km twice a week. That back then was bloody far! For some reason, I never attempted the parkrun again until 7 months later!?! Not even sure why.
The day I ran it again I managed to hit under 35 minutes which felt great. From that day I had a goal in mind, sub 30. Weekend after weekend I tried to get there but it just seemed impossible. That hill was a killer. That hill was the one thing in the way of my goal. It was frustrating. 3 months later it happened. SUB 30! It felt like AMAZING! Once you break that barrier it make the next ones so much easier. It's a mental thing for me.
The next goal is sub 25. Yes, IS still sub 25. I tried for most of that year and kept on being 30 seconds short. Why? THAT FRIKKING HILL. I was slow on hills. Hills are my achilles heel right now. I have not been again to parkrun since. Why you ask? This is for another post, but all I can say is, Trail Run events.
I managed to actually go to Root 44 parkrun this past Saturday and I was hoping to attempt the sub 25. I should have gotten it, but because we were late, there were at least 700 other people in front of me. One thing I did notice was, I MADE THAT HILL MY BITCH. Legs are WAAAY stronger from all the training I have put in the past couple of months. I am confidant if I arrive early at the next parkrun I attend, I WILL be able to get a sub 25.
Comparison of my first Root 44 parkrun to the latest parkrun.

This month at the Grace Emily, Juliette Seizure and the Tremor Dolls will be embarking on a four week residency and launching their debut album.
Hosting four amazing Grace Emily parties every Friday night over August will also see the six-piece bubble-punk band celebrate the release of Chewing Out Your Rhythm on My Bubblegum as part of Guitars in Bars Festival.
Front woman, Shannon, spoke with us about the residency, and how she started the band, which is now in its third year.
"I got the band together in 2013 because I'd been dreaming about starting something like the Shangri-Las or the Marvelettes but meaner. I wanted to play first wave punk kind of stuff but with the harmonies, matching outfits and synchronised dance moves of a 60s girl-group. Musically I'd say our debut album is most heavily inspired by the Zeros, Ramones, the Ronettes, the Muffs and Nobunny," she says.
Chewing Out Your Rhythm on My Bubblegum is the band's debut album, which Shannon says is also her debut at writing an entire record.
"I wrote the guts of each song and took pretty basic versions of them to the band for each member to add their parts. This is the first time I've released an album where I've written all of the songs. In other bands I had been able to hide in the comfort of nobody knowing which songs were mine and which were by other band members, but with Tremor-Dolls I feel much more exposed," she says.
The feel-good, punk inspired fun of Juliette Seizure and the Tremor Dolls is truly something marvellous to behold in a live show, and is just as exciting on a their recordings.
From the debut album, Shannon says 'You are That Good' is normally her favourite track to play live, but may have been superseded due to recent events.
"I love playing 'You are That Good' live, but that might take second place to 'Rock'n'Roll Babe' soon because we've added an extra bit to that song for fans of Paul Collins' Beat," she says.
Other tracks to keep an ear out for when you go to the free live Tremor Doll gigs during August at the Grace Emily are a couple that Shannon feels quite connected to.
"On a Monday morning, I feel most connected to 'Fed Up Runaway' but I think any other time of the week it would probably be 'Monster', because that one feels like the fragile little runt of the litter. It's the most vulnerable," she says.
There are so many reasons to celebrate the launch of Juliette Seizure and the Tremor Dolls' debut album during their residency, not least because it will be the last time you'll see the group in their current incarnation.
"The residency will be our last four shows with our original line-up so I'm looking forward to making it a killer send off for our departing members," Shannon says.
The Juliette Seizure and the Tremor Dolls party starts August 5 at Grace Emily Hotel and entry is free.

Pressure Washing
We offer a comprehensive range of mould removal services.
The pressure washing services that the Mould Doctor offer are recognised as an invaluable application of high pressure water spray techniques.
Pressure washing has been shown to be effective in removing countless types of ugly and damaging residue. Strong jets of water applied from a powerful machine has the capacity to remove many types of substances including mould and mildew. Pressure washing will safely eliminate many hours of labour intensive scrubbing. Remember not only are these substances unsightly and annoying, they have the capacity to harbour contaminants.
The Mould Doctor is a sensible alternative to buying your own machine and battling to operate it effectively.
In the case of mould and mildew, early intervention with a pressure washer can prevent the more challenging problems caused by mould if allowed to develop over time and eventually wreak maximum damage. The Mould Doctor will use effective techniques such as dividing the target area into easily identifiable smaller sections for a completely thorough treatment, making sure to aim the jet at just the right angle to dislodge the target most effectively. There is also the issue of finding the right water pressure for the particular target and again, The Mould Doctor is an expert at making these kinds of decisions. Why play Russian roulette with your health if you have a choice to consult with an expert.
You may ask yourself is pressure washing on my premises an extravagance you can afford given the countless demands being placed on the modern business. Ask yourself this? Given the propensity of many people in the Australian population to be highly subjected to environmental hazards in the form of allergies, infections and viruses, what value can you put on the health of your family, colleagues and customers. Even if you can ignore the humanitarian argument, it is hard to ignore the loss of man hours through people becoming sick due to the environment in which they interact.

5 dead, 12 wounded in Quetta, Karachi blasts
QUETTA -- A bomb Sunday (November 18) killed three paramilitary soldiers and injured four of their comrades in Margat area on the outskirts of Quetta, Balochistan Province, officials said.
"An improvised explosive device planted along the road went off as a vehicle of Frontier Corps (FC) passed by," an FC spokesman told AFP on condition of anonymity.
The blast follows another bombing Friday (November 16) in Malir District, Karachi, causing casualties and damaging property, according to police and hospital officials.
"A timed device planted underneath a pushcart exploded with a big bang, killing two people and wounding eight others," senior police official Irfan Ali Bahadur told AFP.
Seemi Jamali, a senior doctor at Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre, confirmed the casualty toll in Karachi and said two of the injured were in critical condition.
Although violence in Pakistan has declined in recent years, both Balochistan and Karachi have long been plagued by homegrown militancy and sectarian violence.
No group has claimed responsibility for the blasts.

Artwork Close-up: Epitaph for a Whale (1979)
This etching is one of the few works by Yolanda del Riego that depict an animal subject. She created this work in 1979 for a fundraising auction in support of anti-whaling. The Visual Arts Center of Alaska had made a call to its member artists for donations and Epitaph for a Whale was YR's response to this call.
Technical description: three handsaw-cut zinc plates selectively worked with a blowtorch, etching, chine-collé; printed on Black German Etching paper, 49.5 x 70 cm (approx.19.5" x 27.5"). Limited edition of 15.

A healthy lifestyle is important for everyone. Having a happy childhood may boost longevity, as a study suggests those who are unhappy in their youth have a greater risk of heart disease as adults. Do a hip flexor stretch. Kneel on your right knee and put your left foot in front of you. Shift your body weight as you lean forward onto your left leg. You should feel a stretch in your right thigh. Hold this for about 30 seconds, then stretch the other side.
Engage in physical activity for at least 30 minutes every day. Take an exercise class, join the gym or just take a brisk walk outside. Making the time for physical activity is a necessity and not a luxury. Your mental health can affect your asthma, and asthma may affect your mental health. Talk to your doctor if you have been feeling down, anxious, or aren't enjoying those things you normally do enjoy.
Write down the main thing you'd like to do to get healthy yourself. It could be giving up smoking, sleeping more regularly, losing a bit of weight, or even just being more physically active. Weight gain is a common side-effect of some medications for Schizophrenia and related conditions, and this can be associated with a number of physical health problems. Working towards a healthy weight and waist size is a good idea for lots of reasons therefore.
Whether you are newly diagnosed with a mood disorder or have been managing depression or bipolar illness for years, you can benefit from a healthy lifestyle. While you cannot change your diagnosis, you can change aspects of your life to manage or lessen your symptoms and improve the quality of your life.
Since 2000 to 2002, life expectancy, years spent in good health and the years spent in poor health from age 65 have also increased. The proportion of life spent in poor health has also increased slightly. There are lots of ways to get the support you need to help stay healthy. An important step is ï¬nding a good GP (general practitioner) you are comfortable discussing your health with. Seeing the same GP each time means you can work together to manage your health and organise check-ups as needed.

According to Manila Auxiliary Bishop Broderick Pabillo, President Rodrigo Duterte's behavior, which is a product of Catholic schools, proves that Catholic education is "not enough."
"There are people who are confused and who are carried away (by Duterte's statements). Duterte himself is peddling wrong views and he is a product of Catholic education," Pabillo told Philstar
"That means, something is lacking, something needs to be strengthened," Pabillo added.
The bishop said that around 1, 500 Catholic schools in the Philippines should make Christian and human values understandable to students.
"(Catholic education should present) the faith more clearly to the people so they won't get the wrong ideas…Catholic schools (should) strengthen their (teaching of) educational values (so) that even if the president says something bad, they would not be emulated by people," Pabillo said.
"The approach (they) can do is clarity in the teachings...The communication (must be) holistic, not only addressing the mind but also the feelings… so they can live up to their convictions." He said.
Meanwhile, a congregation leader and educator Rommel Lopez blamed the shortcomings of Catholic educators in particular for the propagation of anti-Church comments in social media nowadays.
"This problem happened because of the failure of Catholic leaders in general and of Catholic educators in particular," Lopez said, adding that there are "misinformed" Catholics who were being exploited by Duterte's "operatives" on the internet.
Lopez pointed out that those who were "misinformed" tend to look for other sources of information because the Church has failed to become a mother and teacher to them.*
"The Church has abandoned the teaching of the faith. I have seen it personally...Ask any of the youth leaders about the basics of the faith and you'll get a smile in return," Lopez added.
It was also pointed out in the same article from Philstar that not attending Church regularly could weaken someone's faith.
"John (not his real name)," a 24-year old law student who studied in three Catholic institutions, believes that the teachings of the Church are not absolute." The article said.
"Because he does not regularly practice Catholicism anymore, "John" is not affected by the president's tirades against the Church." It added.
'Education should be integrated with social issues'.
Jesuit priest and anthropologist Fr. Albert Alejo who also teaches theology in Ateneo said;
"Christian education should place the students and the teachers very much in touch with the real… not just with virtual avatar, icons. What does it mean? Getting grounded with the (issues),"
"(Educators) need to form human beings holistically not just (their) cognitive development, skills, and formation of conscience," he added.
Alejo pointed out that theories taught inside the classroom will be useless if not applied in the real world.
"The Catholic education system should not just be reactive… It has to form our young people, our faculty members, teaching or (non)-teaching (personnel), for a more solid grasp of our (reality)." He said.*
Religious affairs director of Angelicum College in Quezon City, Fr. Butch Bombase believes that education should go beyond theories.
"Actions speak louder than words…This job of teaching values is a job of every Catholic, not only of the teacher of religion," Bombase said.
He stressed that deepening value formation in all institutions is the major key in countering the attack of Duterte against the Catholic Church.
Bombase added that Duterte had criticized the Church for allegedly not helping the poor and the supposed unresolved cases of priests involved in sexual abuse.
"We are not talking against Duterte. We are talking (about) the believers so they won't be lost," he said.
Meanwhile, Michael San Juan, who is a communications expert at De La Salle University, stressed that it is important for the Church to maintain its presence in social media platforms.
"As long as they have an online presence, it's okay. It's fine. What's more important is for the Church, for us, to go beyond social media platforms because it's more important to convince people beyond social media… That's where the real discussion lies," he said.
San Juan added that the influence of Duterte in social media is really hard to counter because his administration is "good in propaganda."

"Whoever wins the elections must honor the CAB": Chairman Al Haj Murad
Cotabato City – "Whoever wins the elections must honor the CAB and place it among the top of his or her agenda to ensure that everyone's obligations are fulfilled', Chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) said in a message read by MILF General Secretariat Chief Muhammad Ameen during a program held at the Notre Dame University Gymnasium, Cotabato City on March 28, 2016 in commemoration of the signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro(CAB) held at the Notre Dame University Gymnasium, Cotabato City on March 28, 2016.
"He or she (next president) must recognize that while the risk of failure is high, so are the costs of failure," Al Haj Murad said in his statement.
Al Haj Murad said the 'CAB is a good start to guide the incoming administration who will replace the Aquino government'.
Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) Secretary Teresita Quintos-Deles, MILF Peace Panel Chair Mohagher Iqbal and Prof. Miriam-Coronel Ferrer, Chair of the Government Peace panel, officers and members of various ceasefire mechanisms, such as the CCCH, IMT, ADJAG, and other committees or groups created by the peace panels such as the TPMT, JNC, BTC, BLMI, and the security sector, state and non-state actors were present during the program.
The MILF Chair says that the MILF will continue to ask government to comply with its unilateral obligation to enact a law that would give life and realization to the letter and spirit of the CAB.
After almost 2 decades of negotiations, the GPH and MILF signed the CAB on March 27, 2014 at Malañan Palace to end more than four decades of war and conflict in the Southern Philippines.
Chairman Murad reaffirms the MILF position that anything below the existing status quo is objectionable to the MILF.
The CAB intends to establish a new political entity called Bangsamoro to address the legitimate grievances of the Bangsamoro people and its quests for right to self-determination.
"We need to assert the CAB and its implementation, which ensure the most reasonable framework for a sustainable basis for peace, stability and development." Al Haj Murad said
The MILF Chair called on the Bangsamoro people to stand up and stand strong for peace and urge to observe steadfast and the need to solidify as united Bangsamoro struggle.
"Remember that the greatest interest of the Bangsamoro is our primordial concern", Al Haj Murad said.
A new administration will assume office by June 30 after the May 2016 elections.

Karamba is a well-known casino with a strong focus on casino games and sports betting both. The casino is managed by Aspire Global, a fast-growing casino provider. Like their other casinos, Karamba places great importance on a small but well-curated selection of games and the best customer service.

Karamba Bonus Code
You don't need a separate code to benefit from the exclusive welcome offer. All you need to do is access Karamba by the links provided on this website. You are led to the better offer automatically.
Wagering Requirements
Wagering requirements for spins and bonus money in this casino are at 50x. You have to use the bonus money within 21 days after activation. The spins need to be used within 24 hours.
Always check the wagering requirements and other terms and conditions before you start playing. There are usually some restrictions, and some games can't be played when wagering a bonus. For example, games such as Baccarat, Blackjack and Roulette, as well as some slots won't help you with the wagering requirements.
Karamba Spins
There are wagering requirements on spins from the welcome offer, but you can use them on any slot you want.
If you regularly want more bonus spins, becoming a VIP is your best chance. Not only that, on Sundays you can use one of Karamba's regular promotions for spins.
Karamba Casino Review
Karamba is an established name in the casino industry. Operating since 2005, players now know this casino for its good regular promotions, which have set a standard to be met by the casinos that followed it.
The website layout with the blue parrot is cheerful and easy to navigate. You can find all the necessary information either at the top or bottom of the page. Loading times occur, but they are minimal.
Players get to choose between a live casino, scratch cards, casino games or sports betting. This makes Karamba one of few Aspire Global casinos to offer sports betting as well as associated promotions.
This is especially nice for players who are looking for a casino to stick with. You can find different kinds of games and deals all in one place.
Compared to other online casinos, the amount of games overall is quite small. You can feel however that it's not just about offering as many games as possible for Karamba – there is big number of different game providers to give players a wide variety of interesting games to play.
As we already mentioned, safety and security are important to Karamba. You can see this in the various licenses: Karamba maintains licenses from Malta, Great Britain, Denmark, Italy and Belgium.
There is a small, but regularly updated selection of promotions apart from the welcome offer and a nod to the VIP programme. Even after a long time on the market, Karamba keeps working on new offers. It shows the casino's willingness to go with the times and recognise trends within its industry.
That means that everything is tightly vetted, and you have to contend with fewer games, which is the only real letdown. Despite this JohnSlots has recognised Karamba among the best bonuses available, as it delivers a good amount and comes without hidden drawbacks.
Casino Promotions and Offers
Most promotions are fixed. This means they return and are not bound to season or big events. Timed promotions for events do exist, however. Overall prospective players can have a look at the promotion section on the website however and see immediately what they can expect and profit from time and again.
This is nice if you don't want to feel pressured into taking a limited offer.
Sunday is a day for slot lovers. Every week, Karamba gives away spins in the slots with the best winning chances.
Casino Games and Slots
300 casino games and slots may not sound like a lot, but they have been selected from a great number of providers. You can find smaller studios as well as veteran game providers.
Progressive jackpots also invite you to try your luck.
Game Providers
- NetEnt
- Play N'Go
- Quickspin
- Microgaming
- Playtech
- Amaya
- Bally
- Cadillac Jack
- Neogames
- Cryptologic (WagerLogic)
- Evolution
- NetxtGen Gaming
- Aristocrat
Payment Methods and Processing Time
Regarding payment methods Karamba again shows that less is more. The different payment methods are all well-established. Fast methods such as Skrill and Neteller are just as available as your standard credit cards.
The minimum amounts for deposits and withdrawals is £10.
Customer Service
There is no FAQ, but many important questions are solved in the terms and conditions, which are simply phrased. We always recommend reading the terms and conditions before joining a casino either way, so you should find what you need there. Karamba also explains terms new players may be unfamiliar with there.
Karamba, like most casinos, lists the live chat as a preferred contact method. You can always recognise it by the telephone icon on the right-hand side of the screen.
You can also use the following ways to find solutions to your questions:
- Via phone 032221094890 (free)
- Via email using firstname.lastname@example.com
Karamba Mobile
Karamba doesn't use an app, which isn't uncommon. Instead, you can visit the casino website using your mobile browser. On the mobile website you'll find all HTML5 games optimised for mobile use.
More than 100 games are available on mobile.
Karamba App
There is no need to download an app with this casino. Simply access the Karamba website from your mobile phone or tablet instead.
Karamba VIP
Karamba has reason to be proud of its VIP program. There are 7 ranks in total and every player automatically starts at the first one. With every game you play, you collect rewards points you can exchange for cash.
Higher ranks come with more benefits. You'll receive exclusive offers and bonuses via email, your withdrawals will be processed more quickly, and more.
If you use the JohnSlots-exclusive welcome offer, you automatically become a platinum VIP at Karamba. This way you can try all the extras for yourself and don't have to rise through the ranks first.

NEW CASTLE, Ind.--A wrong way driver caused several people to wreck and then hit another car head-on, killing the other driver on I-70 near New Castle, last night.
State Police said Phaedra Winters, 55, of Huber Heights, Ohio, was driving west in the east bound lans and ran several cars off the road, the hit a Honda head-on, killing the driver, Chase Thomas, 19, of Richmond. Winters was taken to the hospital and the wreck is still being investigated.
State troopers got involved when someone called in the wrong way driver. They found the head on wreck when they went to investigate.
Troopers reporting I-70 east bound is reopened in Henry County. The road had been closed at the 120 mile marker east bound since 10 p.m. last evening for a 4 vehicle crash-expect slow traffic through the area
— Sgt. John Bowling (@ISPPendleton) August 7, 2018
While Winters was treated at IU Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis for multiple fractures, people in two other vehicles run off the road were also hurt. A 2012 Chevrolet Truck driven by Cheryl Moore of Chillicothe, Ohio, and a 2007 Toyota driven by Elsadig Harolin-Osman of Dayton, Ohio, were also involved. Moore was treated and released at the scene and Osman refused treatment, said troopers.
Investigators weren't sure why Winters was driving the wrong way, and their investigation may clear that up.

Good morning Streeters. Look out for ice this morning and brace yourselves for more winter storms this week. There are two more heading our way.
After a nearly two-year grand jury investigation there will be no criminal charges in the tragic Buck Hosiery fire, which left two firefighters dead. The grand jury found fault with the deadbeat owners and the city's Revenue, Licenses & Inspections, and Fire departments for failing to do enough. "Inspections were performed, notices were issued, but nothing ever happened." District Attorney Seth Williams said. "Despite their regular complaints, neighbors were left with an eyesore that soon became a fire and death trap."
The development planned to replace Shirt Corner had intended to reuse and repair parts of historic 19th-century mercantile buildings on Market, but engineers found significant structural issues that will instead force their demolition. Inga Saffron reports that bulges and major cracks in the façade compromise these buildings too much and several engineers and the city determined they should come down. The developer, Alterra, says it will replicate the historic buildings. Demolition is scheduled to begin tomorrow.
An 8-inch water main broke along Roosevelt Boulevard at Unruh Avenue, closing the Boulevard's outer southbound lanes from Tyson to Harbison avenues. The temperature is below freezing, so ice is a complication as crews work on emergency repairs.
On February 2, 160 years ago, Philadelphia consolidated, pushed in part by population growth, infrastructure needs, and civil unrest. Hidden City Daily offers a look back in appreciation and how consolidation paved the way for the modern city.
Can community support save Walk A Crooked Mile bookshop in the Mount Airy train station? Daily News columnist Helen Ubiñas reports that the 18-year old shop is closing and wonders if there's another way forward, like a community owned co-op, to keep this institution alive.

Q&A time... ♥
Book One
Book Two
Book Three

Paris Photos
WHO ARE RENéE, ISABELLE, MIKEY AND THE BOYS?
Hmmmmmmmmm wouldn't you like to know. What's most important to us is living in the moment and these guys are the most important people in my life: Renée and Isabelle, Baby Renée and Baby Gabrielle, Madeleine and Baby Isabelle & Baby Gemma, Yulia and Baby Gabriella, Alla and Baby Yasmina, Chloé and Emmanuelle, Solèn and Baby Amélie, Anabelle and Baby Natalia, Anastasia and Baby Natasha, Adalene, Manon, Mikey, Kevin, Tommy, Billy, Johnny, Pete, AJ, Vlad, Tim, Doc and lots of Hugos.
Our home is Paris, our second home is New York and third home is in Saint Petersburg. And, as far as our careers. Let's just say that we live a very good life and believe me we were quite thankful for every minute of every day. Sometimes, you need a lot of luck; some of it is hard work, but in the end, we didn't choose our careers, it chose us. At times, life could seem impossible, but we were given an opportunity to do something fun and nothing more…
living every moment and second...
It's not just a love story. It's everything we do together because of our love and friendship. It's about living in Paris and reliving our lives. It's diary driven and how we all left our prominent jobs while giving you clues about us; it's a story that will drown you with emotion, the way a story is supposed to be written. It's about how two French girls changed the course of seven men. It's how we all grew up, bringing you to places in Paris and how we dealt with personal issues when they hit hard. It's a story where KC talks to the readers looking for advice or putting the readers in their place with annotations. He wanted to write something interesting, beautiful and intricately patterned that will make you reexamine your life: driven by lovely thoughts, a narrative that will linger in your mind, carrying you through our works like an epitaph, based on affinity. Like the first opening line: 'The life we shared in Paris, so simple, yet so blissful, a simple life of doing something you love, in a place that you love to be.'

Once you try their cupcakes, you'll soon understand the girl's obsession. Bertie's Cupcakes even has a Cake Studio, and everything is baked from scratch and you can smell it from miles away. They even have cake and cupcake decorating classes and you can even rent their place for a party. It's just a five-minute walk from their place of business and by the way, none of us work for Bertie's. We just appreciate good pastries. Bon Appétit!
P.S. The girls were relentless and not an ounce of fat on their model-like bodies. Somehow, Renée and Isabelle always tricked me. Anyway, Isabelle was a master of distraction, and Renée was a master of deception--quite dangerous if you ask me. Anyway, who cares just as long as they were happy because without them I was lost…
He once said, 'I live nowhere. It depends. Am I getting better? Kind of, maybe, I don't know, it's day-by-day... thinking about my profession--carefully, often wondering why I chose my profession. I don't think it was necessarily me choosing it, it chose me.'
Fondest memory R+KC+I ♥
Those sneakers that light up...
A three-way kiss R+KC+I ♥
Their soft three-way kiss: Renée, Isabelle and KC and that night they placed their own Lockets of Love at Pont des Arts...
The most romantic thing KC did for the girls?
Every moment together is a romantic encounter. But that one night we were all in Paris at a live club and KC got up on stage and started to sing Billy Idol's Rebel Yell. Oh my god, his voice and he pulled Renée and me up on the stage and started to sing. 'I walked the world with you, babe. A thousand miles with you. I dried your tears of pain, babe. A million times for you. I'd sell my soul for you, babe. For money to burn for you. I'd give you all, and have none, babe. Justa, justa, justa, justa, justa, justa, justa, justa, to have you here by me... because!
KC's a selfless act of love
KC gave up his own life to make sure that our inner circle was safe, a selfless act, a selfless act of love, a real man, my man!
0ZMsbi3zUG5uA=FSB-ISF 48R86I4716A2T349014-Ice-gn-brk-5150
Pstt. Girls...
A little message, Mon Amour
I love Isabelle's passion, and you often read my love for the ocean and space and my life went from looking up at the stars to walking among them with her.
Taking a deep breath
Our flats in Paris and New York all have that romantic aroma in the air of COCO Chanel's Mademoiselle, Kusmi tea/thé and the sweet smell of grape bubble gum ♥
"No secrets, KC."
"No secrets, Baby."

Paris Daily Photo is a self-explanatory website by 48-year-old self-described "friendly Parisian" photogapher Eric. Eric explains his site:
You love Paris? You have never been to Paris but you would like a sneak preview? Then come here every day and you will find a brand new picture, taken by one of its inhabitants: me! Wish list (of photos!) welcome.
What makes the site charming are the little added descriptions of the photos and places. In particular, I like the November fifth entry:
It's a tradition that has almost never ceased since 1924: the "straw vote" at the famous Harry's Bar... The principle is simple: any American citizen (who can show an American passport) and who is older than 18 can participate in the vote. The results are posted in front of the bar (and on the Web site) every week leading up to the election until the very final moment (I took this photo at 7 pm on November 4th Paris time). The interesting part is that ever since 1924, the straw vote at Harry's Bar was wrong only twice: in 1976 (Ford/Carter) and in 2004 (Bush II/Kerry).
This concludes politics week here on TOTI. And by week I mean trio of posts. I live life on the FAST lane.
(From your eyes tell lies your mouth can never spill)

HEALTH chiefs in Greater Manchester have paid out around £1.2m to doctors and other staff suspended from work in the last three years.
A handful of GPs accused of misconduct are said to have been paid £850,000 while banned from working.
And another 45 suspended workers at the region's 10 primary care trusts have received £349,996.
The figures, obtained by the Liberal Democrats using Freedom of Information laws, have been branded 'scandalous' and sparked calls for the doctors' disciplinary system to be speeded up.
One GP from the Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale area has been suspended for the entire three-year period at a cost of almost £310,000, while bosses await the result of a General Medical Council inquiry. The trust refuses to say why he was suspended.
Another GP in Bury is said to have received £404,000, although today health bosses said the amount - based on their OWN figures - was wrong. They said they were not able to give the real amount.
And Salford PCT paid out £136,000 to suspended GPs over the three years, although it refused to say how many doctors were involved.
The health trusts face further costs hiring replacements while GPs are suspended and pursuing the complaints against them.
Liberal Democrat health spokesman Norman Lamb said: "These figures are scandalous.
"It is clear that something is going badly wrong with the way that allegations against GPs are being handled. The process of investigating and dealing with complaints is failing badly and must be speeded up urgently. It is a staggering waste of money and unfair on doctors and patients."
Lesley Mort, from Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale PCT said: "This process can be lengthy and seem frustrating for all parties. However, we have a duty to adhere to the regulations associated with payments to a GP during the suspension period.
"We would like to see improvements to the system to speed it up, but understand the suspension of a GP is a necessary process designed to protect patients and the public while the General Medical Council investigates.
"We await the outcome of the GMC hearing and will take appropriate action where necessary."
The figures show 134 GPs across the country have been suspended over the last three years at a total cost of £8.2m.
Dr John Canning, of the British Medical Association, said: "The doctors' disciplinary system can be quite slow. It needs to be just and both sides need time to prepare. But even bearing that in mind, too many cases take too long."
Any doctor banned by their PCT should have their case resolved within six months, except in exceptional circumstances, he said.
The GMC said 94 per cent of its fitness to practise hearings were heard within 15 months.
'Scandal' of £1.2m for suspended NHS staff
HEALTH chiefs in Greater Manchester have paid out around £1.2m to doctors and other staff suspended from work in the last three years. A handful of GPs accused of misconduct are said to have been paid £850,000 while banned from working.

South Sudan: tackling malnutrition in a population starved by conflict
Their fields have become war zones, and much of the population of Yei in South Sudan cultivates the tiniest plot of land to survive within the city's perimeter. Terre des hommes is supporting families by developing urban vegetable gardens to tackle child malnutrition. Report.
A 4x4 negotiates its way along the reddish dirt road surrounded by bright green fields bathed by the morning sun. "The Yei region was the breadbasket of South Sudan," says Ladu Jackson, a Tdh employee. "It was also a trading hub."
The country's breadbasket has become a war zone, and Yei is a besieged city. The conflict that broke out in 2013 plunged the world's youngest state into a severe food crisis. Six million people, half the country's population, have been affected. "We were spared at the beginning of the civil war, but the front line moved down here in 2016," Ladu continues. More than 200,000 people in the region, 15% of them children, now suffer from acute malnutrition or have been affected by food insecurity.
Looting and extortion
The car pulls into a yard belonging to a small house. A worn-looking woman tills the soil on her plot of land. If she had been able to, Sophia* would have left Yei with her 15- and 16-year-old children to join the one million South Sudanese refugees in Uganda. The border is only 57 kilometres away. "But the journey through the bush is too dangerous," she says.
Sophia and her children, Anna and Roger, can now eat two meals per day
Government forces have cut off the city, declaring anyone outside the so-called 2.5 km "security perimeter" to be a rebel. Nevertheless, Sophia and her two children are not safe from pillage, rape or terror; warring parties on both sides have committed atrocities against civilians. "Soldiers came at night and beat me in front of my children because I had nothing for them to steal," she recalls. "At night, we don't turn on the lights to study," says her son. "You cannot attract attention."
Most of Yei's 350,000 inhabitants deserted the city, 70% of the 50,000 people who repopulated it after 2016 fled their villages to occupy the city's empty houses – like the women a few miles away harvesting aubergines in the sweltering midday heat.
Avoiding shortages
We support approximately 4500 families in Yei. The urban vegetable garden project was launched in collaboration with another Swiss NGO, EPER, who have been in the region for several years working with a local partner specialised in agriculture. Ten grams of seed will produce thousands of vegetables. "Urban gardening has the advantage of requiring little space and providing nutrient-rich food that prevents deficiencies", says a programme assistant from the South Sudanese NGO Muwjo Development Organisation (MDO).
But the city does not have enough land to be self-sufficient and inflation means the food being sold in the markets is unaffordable. "Much of the food in the market is imported from Uganda," Rachid explains. "Convoys have to drive north of here, via Juba, and that raises the prices."
It is four o'clock. Sophia's two children come home from school and help her water the vegetable garden and prepare a meal; their second meal of the day. Last year, they only ate one ration a day – still the norm for many in Yei. "When we visit the families, their children are in poor health, we regularly see obvious signs of malnutrition," says a worried Rachid. Both teenagers look forward to the meal. This evening, it is "garden pea soup."

Assemblyman Wayne P. DeAngelo (D-Hamilton) has introduced legislation that would create an oversight commission to ensure greater regional representation, economic accountability, and water quality for all towns serviced by the Trenton Water Works.
"During the last six months, after closely monitoring the affairs of Trenton Water Works, it has become abundantly evident that there needs to be greater oversight of Trenton Water Works. While there have been some steps taken, we cannot rely on legal orders to ignite any improvements. The steady, constant hand of an oversight commission would help to depoliticize the direct management of the water system and establish a clear accountability structure," said DeAngelo, the chairman of the Assembly Telecommunications and Utilities Committee.
As per the bill, the 17-member Mercer Regional Water Services Commission would be established as ao oversight body over certain operations. The commission would be responsible for managerial and operational functions of TWW such as approving new, renewed or amended contracts of more than $10,000; fixing and collecting rates, fees, rents or other charges; and hiring, suspending or terminating managers or executive personnel.
It also would oversee compliance with the "Water Quality Accountability Act" and "Safe Drinking Water Act" and refer concerns regarding violations to DEP.
Further, the commission would be empowered to hold hearings or refer matters to appropriate state departments or agencies on areas of concern such as water and service quality; infrastructure and reliability; disputed rates and fees of more than $1,000; misfeasance, malfeasance, or nonfeasance or an employee of TWW or other staffing matters.
If the bill is enacted, members of the commission would include mayors (or mayor designees), council or committee members, representatives of the Department of Environmental Protection, the Department of Community Affairs and the Board of Public Utilities, and a chair plus three members of the public nominated by the Mercer County Executive for approval by the Board of Chosen Freeholders.
These four private citizens would be residents of any of the towns serviced by Trenton Water Works but could not be currently holding elected office or employees of TWW, county, or municipal government serviced by the water system. They would need to demonstrate professional experience in engineering, public water or utility systems, or local, county, or state government services.
If signed into law, the measure would take effect immediately. Appointments to the commission would be made within 45 days of enactment. The commission would be required to meet no less than once every 90 days and the commission would submit a report to the governor and legislature five years after enactment of the law on the analysis of its actions.
Upon receipt of the report, the Legislature could adopt a joint resolution dissolving the commission. If no joint resolution is filed, then subsequent reports would be filed biannually thereafter.
The bill has been referred to a legislative committee for further action.

Cake disasters a plenty…
Cake update – part 3
Cake update – part 2
Ok, I torted (with chocolate pudding) and crumb-coated all the cakes last night. Yeah!
The gluten-free layers and the 2-6″ rounds weren't a problem.
However, when I went to level one of the bottom 10″ layers, the &;^! leveler was off and it cut the cake up something bad. I almost had a heart attack!
After about 10 minutes of gasping for air, I finally figured out a way to 'fix' it. I torted the side that was off, with a few layers of icing and added pudding to make it level and BAM! there it is was, the whole cake looked level. WHEW!
Tonight, I put on the final layers, airbrush and put on the decorations.
I'll be calling James to come get it first thing in the morning, so if anything happens to it after that, it won't be my fault. LOL!
Pictures will be posted sometime next week.
Until then, happy caking….
Cake update – part 1
Ok, so last night I got out my practice cake, put the icing on, and airbrushed it lime green and electric blue. Airbrushing comes so natural. Maybe it's because my daddy used to paint cars. I suppose I'm a chip off the old block. Grin.
Then I rolled out the fondant (which I forgot to put gumpaste in); cut out a few designs; cut out the letters with tappits (this is where the gumpaste int he fondant would've been handy – it would've dried faster, thus speeding up my work time, but no, the brain wasn't in 5th gear, if it was in a gear at all); and cut out some funky flowers (yes that's the name of the cutter set).
I finished around 9PM, cleaned up and ate a piece of that cake (and 1/2 a sleeve of girl scout cookies) 'cause I was running all out when I made it home from work and didn't take the time to stop and eat.
Needless to say, my right hand is hurting very bad. I need to start using my left hand again, I'm ambidextrous you know – get that from my daddy, too.
Stay tuned for more….
Caking news….
As pretty as it was this past weekend, I spent all of it inside. 😦
My brother's step-daughter is turning 16 this Friday, with a party Saturday, and he asked me to do her cake. Being the sweet sister that I am, I agreed.
Saturday, I made 2-10″ round cakes and 2-6″ round cakes. Then spent a few hours at his place eating the burgers he grilled…yummy.
Sunday, I went to church; then made 2 more 6″ round cakes – gluten free, for his wife (I'm really not sure why she can't make her own, but when I ask questions like that, I get in trouble with the family, so I keep my mouth shut and do it!); 4 double batches of icing; washed and put up 3 loads of clothes; and managed to watch bits and pieces of Unstoppable and Predator in between all of that.
Needless to say, I am hurting from the top of my head to the end of my toes. My fingers feel like they are 10xs their normal size and I can barely move them. My knees feel like I have been standing on concrete for 12 hours straight – bare-footed – close enough, I was in my house-shoes, wrong thing to do, but I hated to wear my shoes….
After work, I have to make a batch of royal icing for piping work I'll do on the cake. Then I get to practice air-brushing on an extra 6″ round I made Saturday.
I even went so far is to have a friend of mine in the UK mail me a set (large & small) of Ann Pickard's funky flower cutters. Actually, I've been wanting a set since she went to market with them and just couldn't justify the cost, but now…maybe I shouldn't have, but I did, so it's done…grin.
This cake should be just what a 16 year old would like, but one never knows, as my vision is different from theirs but I'm doing this cake labor fee (he only had to buy the ingredients), so I get to do what I want, to some extent any way.
We'll see how it goes. Cross your fingers….
I'll update next Monday.
Until then happy caking….

Restriction, Regulations and personal data requirements are holding back a HUGE amount of money to access the crypto community!
Due to the steady growth of the crypto community, the cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly popular. At the same time, state bodies, due to the growing popularity of the cryptocurrency, are adopting increasingly strict laws. But government intervention is the first step towards public acceptance of blockchain technology.
For this reason, Konios developers have decided to develop a platform that will help market participants to interact transparently and safely in these conditions. The platform has the following main functions:
- secure and anonymous face-to-face transactions of cash to cryptocurrency
- digital change of any cryptocurrency pairs
- easy access to the purchase and sale of goods and services for Fiat or crypto money
- trading platform with simple analysis tools and interface
- access to statistical data for empirical analyses

EE: 4G emergency services network will help 'save time and save lives'
EE has won part of a £1bn contract to provide a national mobile network to the UK's police, fire and ambulance services, giving 300,000 emergency workers access to 4G.
The operator won the mobile service services contract as part of the Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP), a programme set up to provide a more affordable, capable and flexible communications network for the emergency services.
The Home Office said the new network, dubbed the Emergency Services Network (ESN), "offers the prospect of transforming how the emergency services work".
Uses could include transmitting live video from crime scenes via body-worn cameras, hospital consultants making remote diagnoses using high definition images and real-time 3D maps of buildings at fire scenes.
It said the new ESN – which will replace the existing TETRA system provided by Airwave from mid-2017 as current contracts expire – is expected to save the taxpayer £1m a day.
Mike Penning, minister for policing, criminal justice and victims, said: "Following the government's £1bn commitment in the Spending Review, I am delighted to announce today's major achievement in providing the emergency services with a new modernised communications network that is able to protect the public and save lives.
"ESN will not only provide this capability to the three emergency services but over 300 other public safety organisations that rely on this ability every day.
"We have carefully evaluated each bidder's skills and expertise against requirements that were set by the emergency services themselves and are confident that the successful bidders will provide a world class communications network that our services deserve in today's modern world."
EE has already committed to spend £1.5bn on its network up to 2017, and the company said it will increase that investment in order to deliver the ESN.
'Immensely proud'
It said work to improve the EE network has already started and a dedicated EE Emergency Services team will work closely with Airwave, as well as Motorola and Kellogg, Brown & Root (KBR), who have been awarded other contracts as part of the programme, to manage a smooth transition to the new 4G network.
EE's work will include the creation of a new, resilient dedicated core network for the emergency services, expanding coverage in rural areas, the use of low frequency spectrum to enhance rural and indoor coverage, and the ability to give emergency services priority on the network when needed.
EE CEO Olaf Swantee said: "We are immensely proud to be selected to deliver this vital new network for Britain's emergency services.
"We've worked closely with the police and ambulance crews to show the power of 4G in helping save time and save lives.
"We will now work tirelessly to deliver a highly resilient, truly nationwide 4G network to serve all of Britain's blue light and first responder teams across the UK."
The new ESN will provide for 44 police services, 50 fire and rescue authorities, 13 ambulance trusts, the National Crime Agency, the National Police Air Service, the British Transport Police, Ministry of Defence Police and the Civil Nuclear Constabulary.
Around 250,000 operational staff will access the network using a number of devices across the three emergency services.

Last week, Jeff and I had our portraits done by a group of teenagers at Creative Citizen Studios, a nonprofit "celebrating artists with disabilities." We also got the opportunity to present our artwork. I displayed the originals of the photos in this post on a table and watched as the kids looked them over. They had great questions: When were these photos taken? They look older. What can you do with a chicken that big? How did the photo [of the houses] get like that? This one, one kid said, holding it close to his face – has a ghost – matter-of-factly before shuffling it back, and I thought, holy shit, that's pretty wild. I tried taking a photo on the second floor of the notorious haunted antiques store that day, and the camera mysteriously jammed. How could he have known this? I included it to show the class some common mistakes in instant photography, how not everything in art is perfect. We left the class that night with a gift: drawings of the house with the sun setting behind it, and a tiny pig tucked in one corner. It made me happy to see them continuing stories from where I started them. I'm especially excited to have the class as our featured artists for the March Penn Arts installation, stay tuned.

Very enjoyable photos and funny too: loved the pig, rooster, coat of arms and even the chairs! Its kind of appropriate that an old antiques store would be haunted. Loved the tiny view of the valley–magical. Thanks for sharing.
Completely smitten with the giant piggy bank.
Definitely creepy about the ghost. I was surprised when he mentioned it (but I still don't think that place is haunted).

Al Meyerhoff, a leading labor, environmental and civil rights lawyer who brought a landmark case to stop sweatshop conditions for 30,000 workers on the Pacific island of Saipan, died on Sunday in Los Angeles, where he lived. He was 61.
The cause was complications of leukemia, his wife, Marcia Brandwynne, said.
Mr. Meyerhoff, a loud, friendly bear of a man with a thick mane of tousled hair, rose to prominence in several legal fields. As a civil rights litigator, he successfully challenged a California law that prevented illegal immigrant children from attending public school. As an environmental lawyer — he worked for the Natural Resources Defense Council for 17 years — he challenged the continued use of cancer-causing pesticides.
As a labor lawyer, he was co-lead counsel in suing Gap, Nordstrom, Ralph Lauren and 20 other retailers, accused of obtaining garments from Saipan factories that used guard dogs and had barbed-wire fences. Many of the workers, some of whom Mr. Meyerhoff said were indentured servants, were immigrants from China who had paid several thousand dollars to work in Saipan and were forced to toil 12 hours a day, seven days a week, often without overtime pay.
"Saipan is America's worst sweatshop," Mr. Meyerhoff said in an interview with The New York Times in 1999, referring to the island in the Northern Marianas Islands, an American commonwealth near the Philippines. The lawsuit was one of the most ambitious ever brought against sweatshops, sending a signal to sweatshop owners in dozens of countries to improve conditions.
As part of the $20 million settlement, the apparel companies agreed to pay back wages, follow a code of workplace conduct and pay for an independent monitor to inspect the Saipan factories. Mr. Meyerhoff waived any fees.Continue reading the main story
Over the decades, Mr. Meyerhoff produced numerous op-ed articles for The Los Angeles Times and The Huffington Post Web site, many letters in The New York Times and The Washington Post and articles in law journals and environmental magazines. He also testified 50 times before Congressional committees.
"I was meant to do this work," Mr. Meyerhoff told online magazine of the Cornell University Law School this year.
Albert Henry Meyerhoff Jr. was born in Ellington, Conn., on Sept. 20, 1947. He told the Cornell Web magazine that as a boy he was harassed by bullies and that as a result he developed "an active dislike of the abuse of power."
Mr. Meyerhoff graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1969 and from the Cornell law school in 1972. After law school, he turned down a high-paying corporate law job to take a $60-a-week position with California Rural Legal Assistance, which represented migrant workers and the rural poor. In one lawsuit, he challenged the University of California over its underwriting of research on farm mechanization, saying it hurt farm workers and family farms.
In 1981 Mr. Meyerhoff joined the Natural Resources Defense Council and became director of its public health program. He helped pressure the chemical industry to adopt tougher standards on pesticides by invoking a rarely used amendment under the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act that prohibited the use of animal carcinogens in processed foods. His litigation helped persuade the industry to ban several dozen carcinogenic pesticides.
In 1988, he joined Coughlin Stoia, a class action law firm, from which he brought the Saipan lawsuit, sued Enron and challenged Mexican cross-border trucking, asserting that it violated United States health and safety standards.
Besides his wife, he is survived by his daughter, Leah, of New York City, his mother, Ruth, of Ellington, Conn., and his brothers, George of Van Nuys, Calif., and Alan of Panama City, Fla.
"He was a warrior against the chemical industry," Frances Beinecke, president of the N.R.D.C., said of Mr. Meyerhoff. "He was a champion of the underserved. He fought long and hard to make the world a safer place for farm workers, for kids, for people working in factories and for people living in poverty who couldn't represent themselves."Continue reading the main story


text: The gorgeous Christina Miller with her 8 month old daughter Willow May. When Christina started puberty and her breasts came in, they were a bit malformed, and she was always very self-conscious. While in college, she chose to have a reconstructive surgery and had asked if she'd still be able to breastfeed. The doctor told her she should be able to but they wouldn't be able to know for sure. When she got pregnant, she thought she'd certainly be able to breastfeed, but she was only able to produce about 1/3 to 1/2 of what her daughter needed. She tried to keep up with pumping and supplementation for some time but ultimately decided that switching to formula was the best decision. Her pregnancy itself was very healthy except for some spotting early on. She went into labor and delivery with preferences but a lot of flexibility. Several nurses tried to check her progress but were not able to feel her cervix. She was in a lot of pain as they tried and tried, at one point screaming for them to stop before a nurse was able to determine she was 7 cm and actually believe she was in active labor. After 24 hours of labor and almost 48 hours of no sleep, she decided to get an epidural. Christina was able to sleep for a bit before they broke her water. While she was pushing the baby's heart rate dropped, so they inserted an internal fetal monitor. After two hours of pushing Willow was born in perfect health. Christina was overweight growing up, but lost it due to becoming active in sports in high school. She gained 50 lbs in her pregnancy and having not lost it all is giving her a difficult time coming to terms with her body.

Over the Christmas holidays I got quite excited when I saw some shoots coming through. My excitement diminished somewhat however when I remembered I had planted garlic in this spot and not spring bulbs. Oh well!
Then today there is the unmistakable green point of a flower bulb coming through in the bay tree pot😊. Thankfully, I marked down on my garden plan that this is a tulip. A bit early, so hopefully it will withstand the rest of the winter and I will get to see a pretty pink flower in spring!
As if this wasn't good news enough, I am so pleased with the new arrangement in my dining room. Another Christmas event was acquiring a secondhand table and chairs which are just right for this tiny space.
Amazing how space can liberate the mind. Now, so much more seems possible. Not least, the old table can become the stand for a sewing machine which has languished in a cupboard under the stairs ever since I moved in. So, maybe I will finally make suitable curtains for the back door, and, and, and…
Last but by no means least, on my travels at New Year, I found a thermos jug in a charity shop. Then I learned that this could be used to make yoghurt. And indeed it does. So, I have now discovered another way to reduce the amount of plastic (yoghurt pots are not routinely recyclable around here) going into landfill.

Honey Brown
Honey Brown
Style: Specialty Honey Lager / Brown Lager
Color: Light Brown
This recipe kit has become extremely popular since we introduced it in 2000. The color of our Honey Brown really is light brown - unlike some commercial versions. The body is moderately light with more than a touch of honey character. Rice syrup is added to the malt extract for crisp flavor, and to prevent the beer from becoming too heavy-bodied. Special brown roasted malt is used for color and toasted malt aroma. This allows us to avoid heavy caramel sweetness by lightening the load of crystal malt. The flavor and aroma of hops is quite modest.
Add this product to your cart in addition to your recipe kit if you would like the included dry yeast replaced with live yeast and an ice pack for a $5.00 surcharge.
