Just because you want a cheap smartphone doesn't mean you have to compromise on features. There are plenty of bargain budget phones under £200 - often so good it seems bizarre a flagship phone costs at least three times as much.
Budget phones might not have the sharpest displays, or the most seamless metal designs, but a cheaper smartphone can still be good looking, offer decent specs, a good battery life and a solid performance while saving your pennies at the same time.
Who can argue with that? Here's our guide to the best budget phones around.
How we pick the best cheap phone
For this feature, we're specifically looking at phones under £200.
If you have a little more cash to spend on a smartphone than that, then check out our best sub-£400 smartphone, or our big best smartphones feature that includes devices in all price ranges. For those that are on a budget though, this is right place for you.
Whether you are after an impulse replacement or you just can't bear the thought of spending the best part of £700 or more on a device that lets you ring people (among a few other things) here are the best budget phones available to buy today for under £200.
Best budget phone
Here's our choice for the best all-round Android budget handset on the market at the moment...
Motorola Moto G6
Motorola returns yet again, this time with the sixth generation of the popular Moto G, appropriately named the Moto G6. It offers a premium looking design for an affordable device, along with an 18:9 aspect ratio display, which means a big screen in a manageable footprint.
The Moto G6 delivers a clean software experience, microSD expansion and although its more expensive brother, the G6 Plus, performs better, the standard G6 offers fairly knockout performance for the money. If price is everything to you, then you'll be hard-pushed to find better than this device. Don't expect a flagship phone by any means, but the G6 is royalty among affordable phones.
And the best of the rest...
The Motorola Moto G6 might not be for everyone but there are plenty of other great budget Android smartphones. Here are the ones that you should also consider:
Honor 9 Lite
The Honor 9 Lite sets a new standard for sub-£200 phones. Its striking looks are well beyond its asking price, delivering a degree of flagship quality. It also has an 18:9 aspect ratio like the Moto G6 and it comes with dual cameras on the front and rear, as well as a well-placed fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Battery life isn't amazing and the touchscreen occasionally lacks responsiveness, while the camera performance isn't the best out there, but if you want a good looking and decent performing phone that you can buy outright, without getting locked into a contract, then the Honor 9 Lite is a genuine contender.
Motorola Moto One
The Motorola Moto One offers a good looking design with some flagship features including a glass rear, fingerprint scanner and trim bezel. It's cameras aren't the best in low light and the screen should be a higher resolution but this devices offers fuss-free software and it is an excellent price.
Some others on this list offer stronger specs, but the battery life of this Moto One is absolutely fantastic so well worth considering.
Motorola Moto G6 Play
The Motorola Moto G6 Play offers a whole lot of goodness for its modest asking price. Its real win is battery life, which goes on and on, but it offers a modern design and display too compared to previous generations.
Its performance isn't always brilliant and it has a 720p resolution display, as well as a Micro-USB port which is a little old fashioned but it is cheaper than the Moto G6 so it's a good option for those with a lower budget.
Huawei P Smart
The Huawei P Smart features a solid and stylish design, a crisp and natural display and a well-placed fingerprint sensor for rapid login. It also comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature many smartphones now leave off their spec list.
The performance isn't always perfect and battery life could be better, but the Huawei P Smart is worth considering, even if we would recommend the Honor 9 Lite as a better device that's cheaper too.

Monday's rainstorm did more than dump 30-50 millimeters of rain per hour — it flushed out snakes from hibernation.
Police fielded at least nine calls from frantic people after snakes were spotted in Quarry Bay, Central, Aberdeen, Tai Po, Ma On Shan, Tin Sum and Tseung Kwan O, Ming Pao Daily reported Tuesday.
These included a python, a cobra and two bamboo vipers — all captured alive — but six others had slithered out of sight by the time police arrived.
Snake activity in Hong Kong typically increases during early March, around the time of Jingzhe (awakening of insects) when the weather warms up, Chow Kar-ling, owner of a famous snake restaurant, was quoted as saying.
However, Hong Kong's cold weather was unusually long this year, extending the snakes' hibernation until heavy rains forced them out.
Snakes become more active as the days grow warmer, so hikers should be on the lookout for them, Chow said.

Materials for additive manufacturing
Hamburg, 02.11.2017
Formnext is one of the most important trade fairs for the 3D printing industry. It provides a very good overview of the major suppliers of 3D printers, materials and services. Like every year we are back again. In our focus are newly developed materials such as polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). We have successfully tested these two materials on industrial laser sintering machines and will present their printing results. AdSint® PP flex is a polypropylene which is characterized by excellent plasticity, an elongation at break of more than 50% and a low moisture absorption. The unique feature of AdSint® TPU 80 is the very high elongation at 600%, which makes the product very elastic. The striking smooth surface results from the perfect spherical particle shape and smaller particle sizes. In the filaments section, we will be showing our new product portfolio AdWire® PRO, which we have developed in cooperation with Trinseo®, a global manufacturer of plastic, latex and synthetic rubber. The products are approved for medical applications and the food industry. While many professional FFF filaments are heavily modified to make them printable, the filaments come directly from the Trinseo® grades. This retains the original features and allows customers who already use Trinseo's injection molding materials to evolve into more 3D printing applications with brands they already know and trust.
We are looking forward to meet you at the fair. If you are interested to arrange an appointment, please contact us via email moc.s1550351342laire1550351342tamd31550351342cnavd1550351342a@sel1550351342as1550351342 or phone 0049 40 30 3933-11.

Log Date: Sunday, Apr 12, 2015
Entry By: Tropic Dancer Crew
After 4pm on Sunday, we welcomed on board 17 guests, 12 guests from the US, 3 from Germany, 1 from Russia, and 1 from England. We started with a quick introduction to their cabins. Then on the dive deck, everyone set up their dive gear. We sat down to dinner and after we covered the safety briefing and vessel orientation. We handed out the nautilus lifelines and watched a documentary on Palau. Early Monday morning we moved the big boat into Malakal Harbor. After breakfast we covered the general dive briefing and our first dive was at the Helmet Wreck. We entered the water did our weight check and descended down to the wreck. We checked out all three cargo holds, seeing the WWII helmets and depth charges. On the bow we found the banded messmate pipe fish and signal gobies. Back at the stern we spent some time looking over the WWII artifacts that have been collected from the wreck and placed by the bow gun. During our surface interval the big boat moved out of Malakal Harbor and into the rock islands. Our second dive was at the Iro. Everyone enjoyed diving along the deck of this massive ship, going through the wheel house and around the king posts. At the aft king post we saw the red anemones and tomato anemone fish. After lunch we covered the last power point presentation on how to use the reef hooks. Our third dive was at Siaes Corner. We entered the water and drifted towards the hook in area. We made it to the hook in area and hooked in. We stayed there for a while and had several sharks in the blue. We unhooked and spent the rest of the dive exploring the plateau. For dive four we headed out to Ulong Coral Garden. We started the dive from the furthest mooring from the mouth of the channel and drifted along the wall. We had some sharks in the blue and a couple beautiful anemones that were balled up feeding. Dinner was soon ready when we arrived at the big boat, after we watched a fish ID presentation on the most common fish we see here in Palau. On Tuesday morning we started our day with Sandy Paradise. We entered the water and stopped at the cleaning station and let the cleaner wrasse clean our hands for a while. Then we checked out a patch of coral with hundreds of glassy sweeper around it, and found the four leaf scorpion fish hidden in the coral. We saw a school of barracuda and jacks and all the photographers liked how the big eyed crescent tail posed for photos. Our last dive in Ulong was at Ulong Channel. We had an incoming current, we entered the water and swam out to the wall. We drifted to the mouth of the channel and hooked in and watched the shark parade. We unhooked, drifted inside the channel, passed the lettuce coral and ended the dive at the two the Giant clam sitting side by side with soft coral growing on them. During lunch the big boat moved over to the German Channel area. Once we arrived, dive three was at Big Drop Off. All the guests enjoyed the drift along the wall we saw a lot of macro life, nudis and a couple of turtles. For dive four we went to New Drop Off. The current was outgoing we entered the water and drifted along the wall to the hook in area. We hooked in around the big cut in the reef and enjoyed the show. There were several grey reef sharks and about a lot of little baby sharks. They were fun to watch because they really didnt know how to maneuver in the current. We then unhooked and explored the plateau. After dinner, the night dive was at Big Drop Off. We found several shrimp, nudis, a small scorpion fish and some other macro life. Wednesday morning we started the day with Blue Holes. We entered the water on top the plateau, and descended down into the chamber. We took photos saw the disco clam and the pygmy sea horse on the sea fan by the exit. We exited and made it down to Blue Corner. Once we passed through the eddy current, the outgoing pushed us down the hook in area. Some of the guests were able to hook in and see some sharks in the blue, others just drifted across the plateau. For dive two we headed to Dexters Wall. During the dive we saw over 10 turtles, both green sea and hawksbill. We also found several nudis along the wall. After lunch we set out to Blue Corner. The current was incoming and it was moving. We entered the water and traveled along the wall to the hook in. We hooked in at 60 feet and enjoyed the show. We had a lot of sharks in the blue and the napoleons were checking out all the divers. With the strong current we stayed hooked in for most of the dive. When we unhooked we started ascending to do our safety stop. For the fourth dive it was still an incoming current so we went to German Channel. We started the dive from the Peleliu side of the mouth. We stopped at the Peleliu side cleaning station but nothing came in to be cleaned. We then headed across the mouth of the channel to the Koror side cleaning station and waited, but nothing came in to be cleaned. As we were waiting, the current switched to outgoing, so we headed out the Koror side of the mouth of the channel. As we got to the red anemone we had a close encounter with a large lemon shark. After dinner we went to Alexys Coral Garden for the night dive. We swam along the coral garden finding nudis and a decorated crab, lobster and lion fish. Thursday morning we woke up early and moved the big boat down to Peleliu. After we tied up the big boat in South Dock, our first dive was at Peleliu Corner. We checked the current and it was an incoming current. So we did the "Express." We entered the water and went wall on the right to the hook in area. We hooked in and the current was light. We saw some sharks in front of us. We then unhooked and rode the current all the way to the corner. At the corner we saw the large school of sea breams, there had to be at least four of five hundred. They come up from the deep water to mate this time of year. As we started ascending, below us a large spotted eagle ray swam along the plateau. When we got back to the big boat five guests went on the Peleliu WWII land tour to check out the sites of one of the bloodiest battles of WWII. Dive two we went Orange Beach Coral Garden. We had a strong current and drifted along the coral garden. We spotted a big hawksbill turtle laying down amongst the hard coral and when we got closer we found a small cuttle fish next to the turtle. After lunch dive three was at West Wall. Lets just say that the current made the dive interesting. It switched a couple of time on us, and was strong. The highlight of the dive was a 12 foot tiger shark that came pretty close to some of the divers. After the dive the big boat left south dock and slowly headed back to German Channel. We dropped the skiff for one last dive in Peleliu at Barracks Point. We started the dive along the wall and when we arrived at the sloping coral garden. The current was strong here as well. We drifted swiftly along the sloping coral garden and into the eddy current at the end of the dive site. We did see some turtles and the giant clams. After dinner the night dive was at Turtle Cove. During the dive we saw a turtles, nudis, and some basket stars out filter feeding in the mild current, also a white tip reef shark cruising along the wall. On Friday morning we woke up and started the day with Blue Corner. The current was light and incoming. We started the dive from the furthest mooring and as we entered the water, we spotted a leopard shark. All the photographers got really close to get some great photos. At the hook in area the current was too light to hook in so we just explored the plateau seeing some turtles and blue lined snapper. For dive two we headed to Turtle Cove. We descended down the hole on top the reef and out along the wall. At the bottom in the sloping sand bottom there was another leopard shark. After we took some photos we continued along the wall to the corner. The current was pushing us good the entire time. We drifted around the corner and saw a large school of barracuda in the blue water. After lunch for dive three, we went to Barnums Wall. We started the dive above the sloping coral garden and found a crocodile fish, the current soon changed and we turned around and went the other way. For dive four we had another incoming current so we went back to German Channel. We started the dive from the Koror side of the mouth and stopped at the red anemone for photos. The current was moving and we sat down around the Koror side cleaning station. We sat there for a while but nothing came in to be cleaned. We did have a large dog tooth tuna circle around us a couple of times, trying to use us as cover before chasing after the bait ball above us. Once we arrived back to the big boat, it moved into the rock islands to get ready for Saturday Morning. Soon we sat down to chef Camerons surf and turf final supper. After, Andy showed his video of the charter and we watched a short documentary on Jelly Fish Lake. We woke up Saturday morning with the big boat in the rock islands. Our first excursion was Jelly Fish Lake. We tied the skiff up on the outside and started our hike over the hill to the lake. We entered the water and after a short swim into the middle of the lake we were surrounded by millions of jelly fish. Everyone enjoyed this time in the lake, with an estimated 13 million jelly fish. After the lake we traveled by skiff on a rock island tour. We stopped for photos at Palaus famous limestone archway and some WWII sites on the way back to the big boat. We did a quick turnaround and headed out to Chandelier Cave. We surfaced in all four air chambers to take photos of the stalactites and outside the cave we found the mandarin fish. After an afternoon of cleaning, drying and packing scuba gear, we gathered in the salon at 6pm for the cocktail party and watch a photo slideshow of the week and soon after all the guests headed off into town for dinner Sunday morning the guests woke up to continental breakfast and at 8am we said our goodbyes as they headed off to their hotels. We would like to thank all of our guests for joining us this week aboard the Tropic Dancer, hope to see you all again soon… -Tropic Dancer Crew

Contracts for difference (CFDs) enable investors to trade the price movements of multiple financial instruments. Rather than trading instruments themselves, a CFD trader speculates on price ups and downs without owning the underlying asset.
The Capital.com app empowers its users to trade CFDs online, offering a choice of 200+ financial instruments: popular shares, the most traded commodities, the most watched indices and major currency pairs.
A share represents a portion of ownership in a company. A shareholder of Tesla is in fact part owner of the company, entitled to a part of Tesla's assets and profits.
The value of shares rises or falls together with the company's value, giving grounds for speculating on these movements on a stock market. However, a trader can benefit from shares without owning them, by means of CFD trading.
In a contract for difference, shares are underlying assets that you don't own physically, but the behaviour of their prices impacts the results of your trading. In both traditional and CFD trading, share prices are formed by the supply-demand correlation, the company's earnings and predictions regarding its performance.
CFDs are traded online via a CFD trading platform with no need to go to a stockbroker, thus they are far more accessible than traditional stocks.
Becoming a shareholder of Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Alphabet (former Google), Amazon or Johnson & Johnson can be costly. For example, you can buy a GOOGL share (Alphabet Inc) for as much as 945 USD (as of July 2017). It's hardly affordable, is it?
However, opening a CFD contract requires less funds than share trading, as CFDs are traded on margin. Thus, CFDs enable investors to speculate on stock price movements of the biggest, most valuable and popular companies.
Buying a CFD share contract is equivalent to going long on one share in the underlying company.
For example. Assuming the shares of company CPL are trading at £70.03/£70.05 (sell price/buy price), you predict the price will appreciate, so you buy 100 shares of CPL. Margin trading requires you to put in only 5% of the value. Thus, instead of spending £70.05 x 100 = £7005, you invest 5% x (100 shares x £70.05 (buy price) = £350.2
Capital.com offers CFDs on shares trading on the world's major stock exchanges including the London Stock Exchange (LSE), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the NASDAQ and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB). Traders can filter their choice of investments or diversify their portfolios with stocks across a range of sectors, such as energy, industrials, technology, healthcare, utilities and more.
An index is a collective value of stocks traded on a particular stock market or belonging to a particular sector or economy. It's an aggregate value that helps track changes in what the index represents.
For example, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or, in short, the DJIA, one of the most watched indices, and includes 30 companies traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the NASDAQ. The DJIA is not tied to a particular industry, but is comprised of the major companies and sectors of the U.S. economy. Apple Inc, The Boeing Company, IBM Corporation, Johnson & Johnson, Nike, Inc., Visa Inc., Exxon Mobil Corporation and more are among the 30 components chosen to represent the economy of the entire country.
Similarly, the DAX 30 index, or the Germany 30, is a tracker of the entire German economy, including 30 blue-chip companies of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The NASDAQ 100 and the FTSE100, in turn, serve as proxies for the NASDAQ and London Stock Exchanges.
An investor who wants to speculate on the performance of a whole economy or industry can trade CFD indices. Capital.com's CFD trading platform enables investors to benefit from the movements in value of the most popular global indices, such as the NASDAQ 100, the FTSE100, the DAX 30, the DJIA, the Euro Stoxx 50 and the S&P500.
Let's say you predict that the FTSE100 is going to appreciate, or that it's hard times for the S&P500. The good news is that there are contracts for difference for both scenarios. The key advantage of CFDs is that trading can bring profit when the underlying asset rises or falls. The trick is to predict the direction right.
A single CFD is valued in the local currency, like GBP for the FTSE (the UK index), Euro for the DAX 30 (the German index) or JPY for the Nikkei 225 (the Japanese index). When you buy a CFD index, you invest a certain amount of the basic monetary unit per one point of the index movement.
Let's say the S&P500 is trading at 2,476. Based on the recent economic data you predict that the index is going to drop. You open a short position (to sell) on 3 S&P500 CFDs and your predictions end up being right: the index depreciates to 2,426. Thus, your profit is as follows: (2,476-2,426) x 3 =150 (USD).
Suppose, the index rises by 60 points. Your predictions are incorrect and your loss is (2,476-2,536) x 3 = 180 (USD)
A CFD trader has to bear in mind the possible risks. The market price can go against their predictions and bring in serious losses.
A commodity is a tradable physical asset, such as agricultural product (wheat, sugar), metal (gold, silver) or energy product (crude oil, gas). Commodities are mainly traded in the form of futures. However, a CFD is another alternative of a derivative contract to trade commodities.
CFDs on commodities, as well as those on other markets, have two overwhelming advantages:
When you open a CFD trade on a commodity, you pay a set amount of money for a standardised amount of the commodity. Commodities are measured differently. For example, with Capital.com a single Gold CFD is equivalent to 1 troy ounce. The minimum trade quantity for Silver is 50 troy ounces. The measurement units for Brent Crude Oil and US Crude Oil are USD per barrel (the minimum traded quantity is 1 and 10 respectively).
Trading commodity CFDs works this way: you think that Brent Crude Oil is going to appreciate and buy a CFD. Let's say the current price level of the underlying is $55 a barrel. You turn out to be right, and Oil rises to $58 as the contract terminates. Thus, your CFD provider has to pay you the price difference of $3 for a CFD that you own.
Bear in mind, that if you made the wrong assumption, you would have to pay those $3 (or the difference equivalent) to your CFD provider.
Forex stands for foreign exchange, i.e. trading currency pairs. This is an extremely liquid OTC market, which is traded round the clock 5 days a week. Globally, the most traded currency pairs, or 'the majors', include EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, USD/CAD and NZD/USD.
In a pair, the value of one currency (base currency) is compared to that of the other (quote currency). For example, in the EUR/USD pair, the euro is a base currency and the U.S. dollar is the quote currency. If the pair is traded at 1.1808, it means that to buy 1 EUR you have to spend 1.1808 USD.
The smallest movement in an exchange rate is called a pip. For example, if EUR/USD rises from 1.1797 to 1.1798, then it has gained 1 pip. As the price changes are usually minor, Forex traders use leverage to speculate on these fluctuations. Leveraged trading, however, is a doubled-edged sword: big profits are as possible as big losses.
A Forex CFD is a popular way to speculate on a currency. In a contract, the buyer and the seller agree to exchange the value difference at the contract's termination as compared to its beginning. In CFD trading, you trade a particular number of CFDs in the unit of the base currency. For example, if you trade AUD/USD your stake will be in the Australian dollars, for USD/JPY it will be in the U.S. dollars.
Imagine EUR/USD is trading at 1.1795/1.1797 (sell/buy).
Positive economic data leads you to predict that Euro is likely to rise against USD, so you buy 10 CFD contracts. Each CFD is equivalent to 10,000 of the base currency. Thus, by purchasing 10 CFDs on EUR/USD, you buy €100,000 at 1.1797, which equals $117,970.
Let's say your predictions were right and EUR/USD rises to 1.1810/1.1812 (sell/buy). You decide to close your position by selling 10 CFDs at 1.1810. Thus, your profit is (1.1810 x €100,000) – (1.1797 x €100,000) = $130.

Citibank claims it has "highly competitive" CD rates.
We guess that's true if you define highly competitive to mean average interest rates on some – but by no means all – of your certificates of deposit.
None of Citi's CD rates are even close to the best nationally available deals you'll find on our most recent CD Rates Leaderboard.
Take the always popular 12-month CDs, for example.
Citibank is paying 0.60% APY with a $500 minimum deposit. That's right at the national average of 0.61% APY but nowhere near the top rate of 1.55% APY.
Here's what Citibank is offering on other CDs, followed in parenthesis by the average and top nationally available rates:
3-month CDs: 0.20% APY ( 0.24% APY average rate, 1.35% APY top rate)
6-month CDs: 0.35% APY (0.35% APY, 1.25% APY)
24-month CDs: 0.65% APY (0.90% APY, 1.85% APY)
36-month CDs: 1.15% APY (1.18% APY, 2.50% APY)
60-month CDs: 1.75% APY (1.17% APY, 3.03% APY)
All of those rates are available on CDs opened online or by calling 1-800-374-9500.
They're also similar to what we're seeing with other big banks, including Wells Fargo, Chase and Bank of America.
If you search their rate sheets, you'll find at least a few CDs offering average returns.
You can also click here to compare these rates with the best CD rates from scores of other banks.

Book Review: The Storm Inside by Sheila Walsh
Sheila Walsh is a Woman of Faith speaker (as you probably already know). . .and she hears the voices of many women. . .women who've faced challenges in their life She is also a woman who has been through a few of her own storms. She brings her knowledge from both listening to others' stories and sharing her own, along with God's Word, to write a book geared to remind you that God is with you in all of those storms, The Storm Inside:Trade the Chaos of How You Feel for the Truth of Who You Are.
The Storm Inside offers so much encouragement to anyone facing a life storm full of swirling emotions such as:
Sheila helps the reader see that God is always with us in the storms. With His help, we can "navigate by what we know is true no matter how we feel." Each chapter is full of examples from a real life and from the Bible. The chapters all close with some things you can think about on your own and questions to ask yourself to get through the storm. A short prayer also ends each chapter keeping the focus of facing the storm foremost between you and God. Sheila reminds us that while we are likely to face storms in our life, we also have a God that is with us and gives us strength to make it through each day, without giving way to our emotions.
I would encourage anyone who is struggling and in the midst of a challenging struggle in their life, some sort of storm for them, to pick this book up and soak up Sheila Walsh's encouragement. I believe this book will be easy for most women to relate to. . .and it is geared towards women, although men may benefit too.
I received this book at no charge from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review in exchange for the book.

Surely you've heard of blog posting by now. A weblog, or blog, is a diary-like webpage devoted to your life or something that interests you. Blogs tend to be more personally oriented than many websites, and are part of the expanding field of social media. Use the tips below if writing a blog is something you wish to pursue.
Commenting on other blogs can get your own blog noticed. If you like Google reader, create a separate folder in it for other blogs you're following. Always keep them fresh and updated and comment whenever you have a chance or have something to say.
Regular Basis
Blog on a regular basis. A common mistake some bloggers make is they don't update their blog frequently enough. Readers will become bored quickly if the articles aren't updated on a regular basis. To keep your writing a blog audience captivated, blog every week and forward the update in emails.
You do have a life separate from your blog. Spending too much time in front of your computer will result in writing fatigue and burnout. Take a short walk, call a friend or take a quick break for a few minutes. This time will refresh you and let you create fresh content for your blog.
Make sure you write about things people find interesting and useful. Everyday chores such as vacuuming and cleaning do not usually make good topics for blog posts. Without a gimmick or an extremely engaging writing style, stories about boring everyday life won't pick you up any readers. Choose topics that will make visitors feel involved, intrigued, or intent on reading further. The goal of your blog is to draw readers after all!
Do not be long winded in your blog posts. Although you want to give your readers the detail and information they desire, if your blog is too long or wordy, your readers will lose interest. Most of your blog followers don't expect, or want, you to go on and on about minor details. They want to get to the heart of the matter!
Consider allowing guest bloggers to post to your site. Guest posting helps you network with other bloggers, and doing this can pay dividends in the future. Never underestimate what the power of having good relationships can do. There may come a time when you need a favor, and that blogger that you let post on your site will be more than willing to help you out.
Incorporate lists into your blog. Whether your blog is about cooking or how to overhaul an engine, lists are important. Readers are naturally drawn to lists, which summarize the most important part of a blog quickly and succinctly.
When you are building your readers, remember to remain patient. It takes time for the word to spread about a blog. Also, it will take time to build up the content base that readers expect from a quality blog. The longer you have your blog, and the more content you create, the more people will view it.
If you want to attract more readers to your blog, quality content is crucial. Fill your blog with entertaining and informative articles. Readers who enjoy your work will come back for more. Your content should be well-written, personal and authentic.
Don't fill your blog with meaningless content. Do research on your topic and create an article worth reading. If you write filler or garbage, your blog won't succeed. Always remember your content is vital to your success.
Make bullet lists as much as possible and use italics for keywords that attract an audience. This will make search engines rank your site higher and will increase views on your site. This tip is powerful and potentially very helpful.
Blogging requires more than a simple approach. You should be constantly learning, researching and approaching it as a business. Take your cues from experienced bloggers, always integrating new techniques and ideas. Improving your skills and incorporating new writing a blog ideas into your current project will keep you above your competition.
Putting together lots of relevant, quality posts will increase your chances of showing up in search engine listings. The more people that can find you and your blog, the larger readership you will have. Follow the advice of this article to improve your traffic and increase readership to your site.
You should know the purpose of your blog before you even write one word. For instance, consider whether you are hoping to write your blog in order to share your expertise, establish your expertise or both. Maybe your main goal is to increase your income. Perhaps there are several things you wish to accomplish. You must fully understand your goals and then design your blog around it.
Be sure that your "contact us" page has been set up. This lets visitors and readers contact you with questions or comments. A wide variety of people are bound to visit your blog or website, and you could build interesting relationships and get important feedback from those that contact you.
Create a dynamic and different kind of home page. For the basic writing a blog sites, the homepages often look alike. Those cookie cutter templates can be be boring and staid. Try the customization features. That way, you'll be more likely to be indexed by the major search engines.
Since many internet users do not wish to spend lots of time looking for good content to read, make sure your articles stand out. You can do this and get readers' attention if you make good headlines and bold keywords. Bulleted lists are useful for holding the reader's attention as well.
If you have the money, go to some blog posting conferences. You'll find priceless information on new technologies, techniques and strategies at these types of forums. You will also find opportunities to network with successful bloggers, which might just motivate you to become one of them!
The best blogs on the Internet capture the minds and hearts of their readers. By applying the tips laid out here, you will learn to be a conscientious, interesting blogger who can attract more readers. Blog Posting certainly can be an enjoyable pursuit, but when it is done right it can also become a source of income. Whatever your goals, happy running a blog.

|Grand opening flyer
I thought that grand opening was well done and fun. There were big blue balloons that led customers to the new store, a local radio station for entertainment, and a spin-the-wheel for prizes.
|Grand Opening in Downtown Vancouver, BC
Waiting to spin the wheel :)
I was told from an insider ;) that this store will have two floors. The first floor is the jewellery/beads section and classrooms. Once we got to the second level, I lost A so I dangerously shopped on my own. I was drooling in the Martha Stewart aisle for a long time because all the punches were 50% off!
|Martha Stewart craft punches!
Next, I went to the colourful scrap booking paper section.
|Scrap booking papers..so neat!
Okay! Now, what did I get? First, I spun the wheel and won a Loew-Cornell stencil brush and an Americana Gloss Enamel in Baby Pink. I don't think I'll be using them though.
|Gloss paint and stencil brush
I bought four items! See picture below:
|New goodies!
- Recollections 8.5" x 11" Printed Cardstock Paper in Pastel (similar) - $4.99 CDN
- Recollections 8.5" x 11" Printed Cardstock Paper in Cupcake Cuties (similar) - $0.01 CDN (buy one and get on for one cent promotion)
- Martha Stewart punch around the page set in Eyelet Lace - $17.50 CDN (50% off from $34.99)
- Fiskars Bone Folder - $4.99 CND (50% off from $9.99)
I'm quite happy with my purchases and I'm excited to use my new punch set!
|Eyelet lace punch
I saw this punch couple of weeks ago with A. I'm glad I waited to get it half off. The punch is so pretty!

They were handing out this flyer and the coupons are valid until Friday...very tempted to go back.
Hope you enjoyed reading this post!

Frequently Asked Questions on Selecting the Right Cover for Your Trailer
Trailer tents or covers are very important when you need additional space for outdoor activities like camping. With so much luggage to carry and limited space in the trailer, it can be difficult to find a balance between your living space and space needed to store the things that you have carried along for the trip. Thankfully, trailer tents can be designed in such a way that they extend a few feet off the trailer with a provision to pit them into the ground for structural support. [Read More]

~Marshmallow root, chamomile and dill seed syrup~
1 t dried dill seed to soothe an upset stomach and 'lull and calm fractious children' - a quote i will always remember from my studies.
Half a handful of dried marshmallow root to soothe and coat the throat and digestive system. Marshmallow root becomes very very slimy when boiled. It sometimes tries to escape your spoon! But this makes it perfect for sore throats and sore tummies.
3 t dried chamomile flowers to soothe and calm. Also good for soothing the digestive system and easing into sleep.
Put into a pot with 2 C of water
Simmer for about 20 mins or until reduced by about half
Strain. You now have a strong herb decoction.
Return to the pot and add 2/3C sugar and simmer for about 15mins until it reaches a gelling point.
I test the gelling point by dropping some of the syrup onto a cold plate. Leave for 30seconds and then run your finger through it. It should gel stick to your finger. Now its all ready, you have syrup! Allow to cool and pour into a clean jar, cover and store in the fridge for up to a month. A bit of this cold from the fridge is bliss on a sore throat and is quite well recieved from the little ones who think it is just a treat.
Adults - Take 1t up to 3 times a day as required.
Children under 5- 1/4t up to 3 times a day but remember there is a lot of sugar in this!
If you found yourself needing to use it more a herbal tea might be a better option.
Please note i make a stronger decoction for syrups than i would to drink. This syrup can also be made with any of the herbs used on thier own.
Always make sure you source your herbs from a reputable source so the quality is good and they have been correctly identified. Not all herbs are used in the same quantities and not all are safe for children so it's important to do consult a medical profession if unsure.
Take care people.

After a long time, I finally reached HR999. You get a model in MHXX that records your Hunter Rank from the file transfer and of course, that is a one-time only event, so I wanted to be at the highest possible rank when I transferred files.

Characteristics represent innate characteristics of the life force based on the manner in which the the life force is constructed. These characteristics have a nominal value which is based on the idea that nothing out of the ordinary is done to effect the ability and an effective value which is the result of deliberate attempts to change the normal value. Training is an example of a deliberate attempt to change the value.
Characteristics are structured in a tree. When generating a character, you determine how many points are supplied near the top of the tree and then allocate the points to each level of the tree. Thus the character definition can be defined to what ever level of detail is required for the game in play. Only the top most levels are mandatory to make the system work.
For example: you could determine by some mechanism that your character has 100 points of Physical abilities. These can be allocated between the Physical characteristics in the next level to tally to 100 points. Say you allocate 30 points to strength. However, you decide that your character has exceptional legs and only a weak upper body. At the next and optional level, you could allocate 10 points to the upper torso and 20 points to the lower torso. If this level was not used an average distribution would be assumed by the system.
All the characteristics are represented mathematically by the following scheme:
The characteristic has a maximum overload value that represents the peak performance achievable. Think of an athlete who builds up to a peak performance at a particular event.
The characteristic has a normal value that is achieved in every day life unless put under duress. Unless other action is taken, the characteristics will generally revert over time back to this level. For some characteristics it is possible to change this value by methods such as training.
The ability has a minimum overload value that represents the level at which the person is simply incapable of functioning with this ability. In extreme cases this may result in the death of the character.
The above characteristics have a trained value. These are the effective normal value, effective maximum level and effective minimum level and achieved by the application of training. If training ceases then this value will slide over time back to the normal value. This is the value used for most calculations within the game.
Finally the ability has a current value. This is the actual snapshot, at the moment, of the state of the character. Some characteristics do not change much from one instance to another, bot other such as fatigue can change considerably.

The holy grail of content – using data to write a contentious, divisive story involving our two favourite things – sex and smart phones.
Yesterday, I wrote a brief post about a process for making 'big' content.
The truth is you don't always need to 'go big'.
OKCupid looked at their data (surveying their users), and were able to pull out that iPhone users (at least claimed) in surveys to have sexual encounters on average more than respondents of Android phones or other handsets.
They wrote a blog post about this.
It went viral. Google "iPhone users have more sex" and just the first page lists Time, Wired, Cnet, Huff Po, Buzzfeed, Techradar, BusinessInsider, IGN, The Register, Gizmondo published a post about the story and linked to OKCupid's piece. If you continue searching, you'll find pages and pages of search results – all taking about this story.
In reality, it's the most basic form of PR available. However, they managed to:
– Look at their data and find an interesting story.
– It involved sex – which I hear 'sells'…;)
– … and phones (I think quite a few people have these…)
. … and not just that, it fits owners of phone brands against each other. (we like to be on a team… Football team vs Football team, Mac vs PC, Hilary vs Trump etc)
. … and not about which phone is better in any way. It's not a technical contest – It's about the owners of the phones. And there's a clear winner (which can be disputed – as perhaps iPhone users exaggerate more? Or Android users are more conservative answering surveys? Or maybe this is all bullshit and the data was 'organised' to make for a killer story?)
– They even wrote a blog post about it with graphs etc for the press to use.
How much did this take to produce? Some time for analysts to review data? Some time writing a blog post? Some time reaching out to a few big publications (who they may already have relationships with).
When it comes down to it, bells & whistles can help, but a good story that hooks people in – and then splits the audience down the middle – will always get a ton of coverage / shares / interest / angry / pointless / hilarious internet debate.

A video has gone viral showing the touching moment a girl asks to be adopted.
Misty Knight from Illinois filmed the moment she presented her foster parent, Ryan Farrell, with a special gift.
"You've raised me my whole life, from putting my hair in tight Princess Leia buns, forging my signature in fifth grade, jamming out to alternative music, going on Warped Tour and even our first rock concert together, leading up to us laughing at cats wearing leggings," she wrote in a letter to Ryan.
"I know we are so weird together, but that's what makes you you, and I cannot imagine not having you in my life. I'm so grateful to be able to call you dad."
When Ryan opens the box filled with gifts - including a Batman Vs Superman onesie - he is visibly moved when he gets to the adoption papers.
"I've been wanting to do that for ages!" Ryan says before he hugs his daughter.
Misty later posted the video to Facebook with the caption "Love you with all my heart and can't wait to be a FARRELL".
The clip was shared by Ellen Degeneres, and has since amassed over 33 million views!
Watch it here:
So everyone has been waiting for this but I finally asked the man that raised me to adopt me ?? love you with all my heart and can't wait to be a FARRELL ?? Ryan FarrellPosted by Misty Nicole Knight on Saturday, 5 March 2016

Ornette Coleman, in full Randolph Denard Ornette Coleman, (born March 9, 1930, Fort Worth, Texas, U.S.—died June 11, 2015, New York, New York), American jazz saxophonist, composer, and bandleader who was the principal initiator and leading exponent of free jazz in the late 1950s.
Whereas most of these postwar musicians worked out their individual styles through personal explorations within the central modern tradition, the arrival of saxophonist Ornette Coleman and trumpeter Donald Cherry constituted an even more radical break from the recent past. Eschewing conventional key and…
Coleman began playing alto, then tenor saxophone as a teenager and soon became a working musician in dance bands and rhythm-and-blues groups. Early in his career, his approach to harmony was already unorthodox and led to his rejection by established musicians in Los Angeles, where he lived for most of the 1950s. While working as an elevator operator, he studied harmony and played an inexpensive plastic alto saxophone at obscure nightclubs. Until then, all jazz improvisation had been based on fixed harmonic patterns. In the "harmolodic theory" that Coleman developed in the 1950s, however, improvisers abandoned harmonic patterns ("chord changes") in order to improvise more extensively and directly upon melodic and expressive elements. Because the tonal centres of such music changed at the improvisers' will, it became known as "free jazz."
In 1958 Coleman recorded his first album, Something Else!!!!, which notably featured trumpeter Don Cherry and drummer Billy Higgins. The three musicians, along with bassist Charlie Haden, later formed a band, and the quartet's classic recordings included The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959) and Change of the Century (1960). Coleman moved to New York City, where his radical conception of structure and the urgent emotionality of his improvisations aroused widespread controversy. His recordings Free Jazz (1960), which used two simultaneously improvising jazz quartets, and Beauty Is a Rare Thing (1961), in which he successfully experimented with free metres and tempos, also proved influential.
In the 1960s Coleman taught himself to play the violin and trumpet, using unorthodox techniques. By the 1970s he was performing only irregularly, preferring instead to compose. His most notable extended composition is the suite Skies of America, which was recorded in 1972 by the London Symphony Orchestra joined by Coleman on alto saxophone. Influenced by his experience of improvising with Rif musicians of Morocco in 1973, Coleman formed an electric band called Prime Time, whose music was a fusion of rock rhythms with harmonically free collective improvisations; this band remained his primary performance vehicle until the 1990s.
Coleman's early style influenced not only fellow saxophonists but also players of all other instruments in jazz. In recognition of such accomplishment, he received the Japan Art Association's Praemium Imperiale prize for music in 2001. In 2005, with a quartet made up of two acoustic double bass players (one bowing his instrument, the other plucking), a drummer, and Coleman himself (playing alto saxophone, trumpet, and violin), he recorded Sound Grammar during a live performance in Italy; the work, which was said to hearken back to his music of the 1960s, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for music in 2007.

Keeping your pool clean doesn't have to be hard as you think it is. All pools are different, so that means that the maintenance needs are different as well. Although, they all share one thing in common: the secret to good pool health is routine care. Culligan Pool Care offers reliable pool maintenance services to pool owners in Chandler, AZ.
If you decide to handle normal issues like broken pumps or murky water on your own, ensure that you are looking at the manufacturers manual before you fix or use the equipment. It doesn't matter if you are relying on service companies to care for your pool, you will still need to do some things on your own to be sure that your pool will remain in good condition for years to come.

Read More About Full Care Pool Maintenance
Pool Maintenance Commonly Includes:
Pool Maintenance companies usually take care of the following duties of your pool:
Skimming debris and cleaning out baskets
By skimming the surface of the pool by hand every few days will be the easiest and fastest ways to help keep your pool clean. Although, if you don't want to skim your pool yourself, let us do it for you as part of your regular pool service. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly pool maintenance services. Floating debris can sink and become hard to remove. Using a long handled net called a leaf skimmer will help to remove bugs, leaves, and other items. Skimming will help to increase the efficiency of the circulation system and will lower the chlorine amount that will need to be added to your pool. You can locate strainer baskets attached to the side of any above-ground pools and on the pool deck of in-ground pools. You will just remove the plastic basket and then shake it out; you can spray the inside with a hose which can help to remove stubborn objects.
Vacuuming the pool and brushing tiles and walls
Pools should be vacuumed each week to keep the water clean and reduce the amount of chemicals that you have to add. There are different types of pool vacuums. If you have a manual vacuum, just work it like you would be vacuuming a carpet. It is a good form to slightly overlap the strokes. Then check the filter each time that you vacuum and clean it.
Vacuuming isn't the only thing that should be done weekly. Brushing the tiles and walls will help to minimize calcium deposits and algae buildup, so that it doesn't fester and then become a huge problem. The material that your pool is made of will state what type of brush that you need to use. Pick a stiff brush for a concrete pool and use soft brushes for fiberglass or vinyl walls. When it comes to tiles, use soft brushes to prevent degradation or scratching of the grout. Using a putty knife or pumice stone as well as 50/50 mix of muriatic acid and water will work well.
Cleaning the pool filter
There are different types of pool filters: diatomaceous earth, sand, and cartridge. Even though there are different maintenance procedures for each type, they all require cleaning depending on the filter type and how often you clean the pool. Cleaning the filter more than is recommended can actually cause issues with filtration process. Having a clean filter is actually less efficient than one that has some dirt on it because the dirt helps to trap other types of particles, which in turn removes debris from the water. Although, you don't want the filter to become too dirty. The main sign that it is time to clean it is an increase of airflow between the flow meter and pressure gauge. Clean the filter when it hits between 10 and 15 PSI. We backwash your pool filter on a regular basis to ensure your filter is running at 100% at all times.
Professionally servicing the heater
Do you have a pool heater that needs servicing, we can help! Pool heaters normally need at least maintenance of the pool equipment. A gas heater will work okay without being serviced for a few years, and electric ones can last a lot longer. Look at the manual for care instructions. Sometimes there will be calcium scales that will build up inside of the heater tubes and restrict the flow which prevents the water from being heated properly. If this happens, just hire a professional because the heater may be needed to be taken apart and have the tubes cleaned with acid or a wire brush. Hiring someone to service your pool can cost more than $100 monthly depending on how much maintenance is needed.
Checking and maintaining water levels
Lots of water will be lost during the swimming seasons due to normal wear and tear as well as evaporation. Whenever you remove debris weekly, that is a good time to check the water levels. Be sure that it doesn't go below the level of the skimmer, otherwise your pump could be damaged. If the water is low, fill it back up to safe levels.
Draining your pool to perform maintenance or once the season has passed, ensure that you are careful to not the let pool be empty for too long. A general rule for pools is to leave water in it during the winter because water counteracts the forces of the ground that is pressing up on the pool.
Maintaining the pH levels
Let Culligan Pool Care manage your pool chemical levels for you. Pool water needs to be tested on a regular basis to ensure that it is healthy and clean. The pH scale is the measurement of alkalinity or acidity in water that goes from 0 to 14. Having a pH level of 7.2 to 7.8 is great; this is the range that is safe for swimmers and helps the sanitizers to work at their best efficiency.
You will be able to monitor the pH levels with a testing kit. There are a lot of kits that are available. Although, many homeowner's versions are test strips or reagent kits. Reagent kits aren't hard to use. Take a sample of pool water, add tablets or liquid to it. The water then will change color and show you the chemical balance. Test strips are different. You just submerge it into the pool for a few seconds and then the strip will change color and then you match up the color with a pH level chart that will let you know the pH level. Use this information to find and know how much chemicals to put in your pool.
Super-Chlorinate Water
Every now and again we may have to shock your pool to get rid of algae or bacteria. There are organic contaminates such as nitrogen or ammonia that will buildup on the pool after time. Having massive amounts of these chemicals will cause chloramines to form, which will give off the chlorine smell that is associated with pools. In order to remove this order, you have to shock or super-chlorinate the pool back to normal chlorine levels. Even though it sounds like it won't work, adding a lot of chlorine to your pool will take care of the odor. Some pools are shocked weekly, while others take a longer time. Follow instructions from manufacturers before you shock the pool.
Finding and repairing leaks
Sometimes it can be hard to find out if low water levels are because of a leak or evaporation. You will be able to find leaks by conducting a bucket test. Fill a bucket up to ¾ full. On the inside mark the water line. Place the bucket in the pool and then mark the outside of the bucket with a water line. Let it float for a few days. If the water inside and outside of the bucket has gone down, then its evaporation. Although, if the pool level is down more than inside of the bucket, then you have a pool leak. That is when you call us to patch the pool.
Winterizing you pool
We can help get your pool ready for the winter time in Chandler. Where you live will determine if you need to winterize your pool. If the location has temperatures that will drop below freezing at all, you will need to take some steps to help ensure that your pool will remain healthy. Any left over water that are in the pipes of your pool may freeze and become damaged. In order to keep this from happening, simply use an air compressor to blow the water out of the plumbing whenever the swimming season is done. Be sure to drain as much water as possible from the heater and filters. Any left over water could be drained using non-toxic antifreeze. Disconnect the pump, heater, and chemical feeders, which will need to be cleaned and stored.
Lastly, clean the pool. Lower the water level to about 18 inches and then cover the pool to keep debris out.
Opening your pool for swimming season
If you have properly winterized your pool, then you can reopen it easily during swimming season. Don't remove the pool cover until you have the area around the pool cleaned. Hose or sweep away any debris to keep it from getting into the pool. Then fill your pool to the regular water level. Next, begin to reconnect everything. Water have to go into the circulation system, so open the line valve. Test your water for the pH level and then shock your pool. It will take more than a week for the pool to become balanced and swimmable. Let your pump run constantly, and reduce the running time by an hour each day until the water has become balanced.

NottingHill manager Henny Irwin tells us why renting is an affordable way to enjoy the area
Monday, October 13, 2014 by Douglas And Gordon
Why rent in Notting Hill
There is something for everyone in Notting Hill. It is home to some of the biggest household names, who rub shoulders with some of London's most eccentric local characters. The quirky and bohemian Portobello Road snakes through some of the area's best addresses. Many of the street's market stalls are open every day, and at the weekend you could while away the days browsing everything from antiques, fur and leather to local souvenirs, clothes and jewellery. There is music playing and enticing smells coming from the large variety of food stalls creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere. At the other end of the scale are the expensive boutiques on Westbourne Grove and the vast array of high end restaurants such as the Michelin starred The Ledbury, Granger & Co which is a firm favourite for ladies that lunch, or for something more exotic there is the exquisite pan-asian E&O.
Notting Hill boasts a huge number of garden squares and green spaces. There are communal gardens with tennis courts, small parks for walking the dogs, and for a real escape Hyde Park and Holland Park are also on the doorstep.
Every bank holiday weekend in August, Notting Hill is transformed for the biggest carnival in London. People flock from far and wide to party at the many different sound systems, drink some Caribbean rum, and indulge in some authentic jerk chicken. Police control the enormous crowds that gather to watch the floats of dancers, singers, entertainers, and the whole area is filled with a celebration of music and colour. Unbelievably, by Tuesday morning it looks like nothing has happened at all, and it is business as usual for the Notting Hill residents.
Properties in Notting Hill range from huge white detached villa style houses, some of which are still whole houses. Other are divided into stunning flats with double height ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. Many of these boast views over well maintained garden squares. Loft-style apartments are also prevalent in the Notting Hill area, often with quirky features like exposed brick work, original floorboards, vaulted ceilings etc. Renting in Notting Hill gives you the opportunity to live in something out of the ordinary, something you might fall in love with but never dream of buying.

Don't waste your hard earned money. You are not really positive about how you save money. Get advice from experts who know what they are talking about, instead of asking your friends who might not have good financial skills. This article is the place to turn. Here you will find solid and proven financial advice to help you get back on track.
Trust is one of the most important characteristics you should look for in a broker. Check a broker's references and find someone else if you feel they are not being open with you. It is also important to be sensible, and have the experience to know when something is not quite right.
If the timing is not good for you, then do not sell. If you see that the earnings potential for a stock is there, refrain from selling for a short time. You can certainly take a second look at stocks that are underperforming and think about moving some of those around.
You may want to put savings into a variety of places because of the economy's instability. For example, don't put all of your funds into a savings account. Put some funds into checking or into stocks. The more diverse your investments, the safer your money is. Look for new ways to invest your money, and make sure you keep it safe.
Don't pay full price for everything to help your budget. Limit your purchases of products from higher-priced brands and buy these items only if you have a coupon. For example, you might consider switching from your regular brand and opting for a product that comes with a promotion or discount.
You should now have a clearer vision of your personal financial state, where you are now and where you want to be. You should also have an understanding about how to get there. If you read something that did not make sense to you, spend some extra time looking into it more until you full understand the concept.
