The multidisciplinary in Learning and Leadership Doctoral Program (Ed.D.) equips participants with an understanding of the relationship that learning plays in the leadership process. The program philosophy supports the development of reflective practitioners in variety of organizations and focuses on the interwoven nature of learning and leadership. The curriculum emphasizes the proficiency that individuals will need as they pursue the challenges of organizational change. Major themes include, "How do we measure performance?", "How do people adapt to change?", and "What role does learning play in organizational improvement?"
The Learning and Leadership Program begins with a cohort of participants and faculty team engaging in an induction learning experience followed by a five semester sequence of required core courses (27 credits) offered via hybrid delivery (face to face and Virtual Classroom). Upon completion of the core, individuals have the opportunity to focus their studies in a particular subject matter area through elective course work (24 credits). Other major elements of the program include the development of the Comprehensive Assessment and the final core course, LEAD 7700 Pre-Dissertation Seminar. The Comprehensive Assessment is the culminating assessment event that must be successfully completed prior to advancement to candidacy and to beginning work on the Dissertation. Participants will demonstrate competency in the program domains through written and oral presentation. The competency domains are Learning, Leadership, Research, Measurement, Organizational Effectiveness, Technology and Innovation, and Communication.
The program calls for a minimum of 66 credit hours in three areas:
Individuals admitted to the program must have a master's degree and a minimum of two years of professional leadership experience in an organizational setting- preferably in a leadership role.
Applicants for admission to the program will be required to meet two levels of admission: admission to the Graduate School and admission to the doctoral program. An applicant for admission to the program must hold a master's degree from a regionally accredited institution or foreign equivalent and have a minimum grade point average of 3.0 on all graduate coursework taken prior to receiving the master's degree.
Admission requirements are sufficiently rigorous to ensure that participants in the program are academically talented and professionally dedicated. The admission and review criteria are designed to help ensure that, once admitted, each applicant is likely to succeed in the degree program. The faculty seek a diverse group of participants who share a record of accomplishment in teaching and/or leadership and demonstrate potential for further success.
The following factors are considered by the admission committee when recommending approval or denial of an applicant:
Admission to the Graduate School requires the following conditions:
Applicants whose native language is not English will also need to provide certification of English proficiency. Official scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) must be submitted. A TOEFL score of 550 (213 on the computer-based test, or 79 on the Internet-based test) or above, or an IELTS score of 6.0 or higher, is required unless the applicant meets the conditions outlined in "Graduate Admission Tests" under "Admission Requirements " to apply for an exemption to the TOEFL/IELTS requirement. International participants must also submit evidence of financial resources sufficient to provide adequate support (as determined by the University) during the candidate's period of residence as a participant. Three letters of recommendation from professional colleagues, supervisors, or former university professors.
Upon completion and submission of the above requirements and after admission to the Graduate School, the Graduate School Office will forward all items contained in the admissions file to the Ed.D. Academic Unit Leader/Coordinator to begin Level II of the admission process.
Decisions for acceptance will be made by an admissions committee based upon the overall potential for the applicant's success in the program. The applicant will be asked to submit a Statement of Purpose and to attend a personal interview with the admissions committee.
Submit a 3-5 page Statement of Purpose Essay focusing on the applicant's motivation and aspirations upon entering the program. Applicants may refer to the application instructions for additional guidelines.
A select group of applicants will be invited to interview with an admissions committee during which the committee members will evaluate the ability to think and speak extemporaneously and the overall compatibility with the program's goals and requirements. Upon completion of the admissions interview, the admissions committee will recommend to the Academic Unit Leader of the Ed.D. program the approval or denial of the candidate. The Academic Unit Leader will forward the committee's recommendations to the Graduate School. Candidates will be notified of their admission status by letter from the UTC Graduate School.
International applicants will follow regular procedures for admission to the Graduate School and the Doctoral program in Learning and Leadership. International applicants should contact the Office of International Student Services for assistance with the admission process. If a face-to-face interview is not feasible, interviews of may be conducted by video conference or telephone.
The participant will be admitted to degree candidacy upon successful completion of the following requirements:
Graduation requirements for the degree are:
There is a ten-year limit for completing all degree requirements for the doctorate in Learning and Leadership. All doctoral course work and the successful defense of the dissertation must be completed within ten years. The ten year time frame begins with the earliest course applied to the doctoral program of study, including any applicable transfer credits.
All participants must complete a residency requirement for the degree. This requirement will be satisfied as follows:
In the doctoral program, each participant must remain continuously enrolled in course work from the start of the core program (cohort experience) through the successful defense of the dissertation and acceptance of the dissertation by the Graduate School. Continuous enrollment in the doctoral program applies to the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Failure to remain continuously enrolled will result in program dismissal.
During the core program of study, each participant is required to enroll in a minimum of six (6) core credit hours as described in the core course sequence. Once the core program of study has been completed, the participant is required to remain continuously enrolled in elective course work (minimum of one course per semester). Following admission to candidacy, the candidate is require to continuously enroll in a minimum of two (2) dissertation credits every semester through the successful defense of the dissertation and acceptance of the dissertation by the Graduate School Dean.
During any stage of the doctoral program, a participant may request a one-time leave of absence. The leave of absence must be approved by the Program Director and the Graduate School Dean. The leave of absence my not exceed one calendar year (maximum of three semesters). In order to return to the program following an approved leave of absence, the participant must apply for readmission to the Graduate School and meet all graduate regulations in effect upon readmission. If a participant fails to enroll once the leave of absence has expired, the participant will be dismissed from the program.
If a participant elects to withdraw completely from the doctoral program, s/he must notify the Program Director in writing of his/her intent to withdraw and drop any currently enrolled courses. The participant is accountable for fulfillment of any outstanding financial or academic responsibilities. Once withdrawn (or dismissed), a participant would need to apply to the doctoral program in order to return. Readmission would require full participation in the program admission process and all regulations in effect at the time.
Each doctoral participant is required to complete a minimum of 24 elective credits. Elective courses may be taken during the program of study with approval from the participant's Program Advisor.
Each participant will complete and defend a dissertation. The dissertation represents the culminating project for the degree. In the completion of the dissertation, the candidate will show evidence of competence in conceptualizing, carrying out, and reporting research. Doctoral candidates in the Learning and Leadership program are required to be continuously enrolled in a minimum of 2.0 graduate credits (maximum of 6 graduate credits) every semester (fall, spring, and summer) until the dissertation has been successfully defended and approved by the Graduate School. Failure to meet continuous enrollment standards may result in program dismissal.
The dissertation committee is comprised of four members: the dissertation Chair, the methodologist, plus two additional members. The chair and at least one member must be members of the Learning and Leadership faculty and possess full graduate faculty status. All members of the committee must hold graduate faculty status at UTC. It is the responsibility of the Chair to guide the learner in the selection of the committee. Members of the committee should include faculty whom the committee chair and learner believe can make substantive contributions to the learner's dissertation. The Chair is urged to invite a committee member from an academic unit outside the Learning and Leadership program. Relevance and expertise regarding the dissertation topic and methodology is the rationale for selection of all members. The Dean of the Graduate School shall approve the membership of the dissertation committee. Any questions regarding eligibility of committee members should be directed to the Dean of the Graduate School.
Special Graduate Faculty Status
In certain circumstances, it may be appropriate to petition the Graduate Council to allow a person who is not a member of the regular faculty and who, because of relevant professional experience and academic training, should be eligible to serve on the dissertation committee. Such a person will receive temporary and honorific status as a member of the graduate faculty while serving on the participant's committee. In general, a terminal degree is required for Special status. The outside member will submit an application for graduate faculty membership and request the rank of "Special".
Co-Chairing of Dissertation
In certain circumstances, a co-chair arrangement may be appropriate for the dissertation. The co-chair will be selected on the basis of content expertise and must possess full graduate faculty status. A co-chair may be designated if a Learning and Leadership faculty member does not hold full doctoral faculty status, if a Learning and Leadership faculty member is new to the dissertation advisement process, or a chair with content expertise is from outside the Learning and Leadership program. If a chair is from outside the Learning and Leadership program, a member of the Ed.D. faculty will be appointed to serve as co-chair for purposes of familiarity with programmatic protocol and procedures.

Book Expo America (BEA) 2010
The BEA is like the Formula 1 of books. So imagine the rush I felt upon entering the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. My supervisor, Hajni Blasko, Online Book Publicist at Substance Books and I spent two full days there meeting new authors and independent publishers. The first day was mostly workshops, conferences, and opening night keynote speaker, Barbra Streisand that was there promoting her book, My Passion for Design. The last two days were dedicated to showcasing the 500 plus authors and 1,500 exhibitors.
I learned this event was bigger in past years; however, the organizers did a good job. There were designated areas for meetings, press, book signing, and luggage. And, who can forget food? If you needed a caffeine jolt, you could even get a cup of Starbucks cappuccino.
I relished getting FREE books (galleys). The lines to have books signed were ridiculously long! But it was worth it! It's all part of the experience. Having Kathryn Stockett's bestseller The Help signed, for me, was one of the highlights of this event. Pelé, Rick Springfield, James Patterson, and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, to mention a few, were among the scheduled authors signing books.
Once I got my galleys I wandered through the booth-laden aisles. This was a great networking opportunity; I met wonderful people in all areas of writing and publishing. By the end of the day, I had four canvas bags (one of the many freebies), filled with business cards, brochures, pens, staplers, catalogues, and galleys, of course!
On the last day, I couldn't carry the bags with all the goodies I got for myself and for my fellow writers. Overall, it was a great experience. I'm definitely going to next year's Book Expo!

The city of Cape Town has to be one of the most astounding places one can ever visit. No amount of photos, you tubing or research can quite prepare you for the sheer beauty of this place or the diversity of things to do here. Table Mountain majestically looms over the city. This provides a dramatic backdrop almost everywhere you go. But between the golden beaches, vineyards and mountains there is so much more to discover in Cape Town. So for anyone looking for some tried and tested recommendations, find Top 10 Things to do in Cape Town.
Reach the top of Table Mountain
Visiting Cape Town without going to the top of Table Mountain would be like going to Paris without going up the Eiffel Tower. Visitors have the option to either catch the cable-car up or hike up (two very different experiences I can assure you!). If you want more of a leisurely experience or will be tight for time like I was, the cable car is a charming experience. There are about 5 different table mountain hiking trails which range from 45 minutes to 4 hours depending on route and fitness level (click the link for some really handy info on the trails). Once at the top, paved walkways lead the way to breathtaking 360 degree views of Cape Town. Allow about an hour or so to get stroll the whole way around and find a sunny spot to stop, sit, and take it all in. Table Mountain is firmly fixed on the tourist trail of Cape Town. If that bothers you then swallow your alternative-traveler pride because missing out on this would be a tragedy.
Robben Island
Best known for being home to the Prison where Nelson Mandela spent 19 years of his imprisonment, Robben Island is now a museum that brings the struggles of the apartheid's political prisoners to life. Guided prison tours are conducted by ex inmates, which is included in the ticket price.
The Penguins at Boulders Bay
A visit to Boulders Bay is an utterly charming experience whether you're 7 or 70. Home to Cape Town's largest penguin colony, Boulders Bay is scattered with hundreds of Penguins that supposedly stemmed from two penguins 'left behind' during migration season. The natural boulders that surround the beach and the jade green waters further add to the beauty of this special little spot. A raised boardwalk stretches down to the bay, but to protect the penguins you can't actually walk along the beach itself. Fear not though, many penguins come up close to the boardwalk so you can still get up close and personal with these enigmatic creatures!
Wine Tasting at Steenberg Estate, Constantia
What could be more glorious than to spend an afternoon of your trip doing some wine tasting on a working Capetonian vineyard? Between Stellenbosch and Constantia there are so many vineyards to choose from. You will go through a tasting of 4 of Steenberg's top wines along with a pairing of tasty canapés.
Lunch and Shopping on The Waterfront
With chic al-fresco cafes, live music and lively street entertainers, The Waterfront is a one of Cape Town's most most busy areas. Boutique shops sell local African art and souvenirs and the Victoria Wharf shopping center has lots of the big brands. Umbrella stalls line the marina where you can book your fishing tours, whale watching and for those who dare, shark diving excursions.
Camps Bay & Clifton Beaches
Camps Bay and Clifton sit right next to each other and are two of the most affluent areas to live in Cape Town. With new-build dream beach houses making up prime real estate, the area even has its very own Millionaire's Row. Camps Bay Beach is one of Cape Town's most famous beaches and has been a Blue Flag Beach since 2008. Clifton has 4 separate beaches known, quite simply, as Clifton 1, 2, 3 and 4. All 4 of the beaches are incredibly scenic and a perfect place to relax for the day, but if you're not into nudist beaches give Clifton 4 a miss. Spend the day hopping from beach to beach and watching surfers take on the waves but beware; the sea is freezing as it's on the Atlantic side of Cape Town so you may need a wetsuit if you want to join them!
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens
Another must-see is Cape Town's Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I visit to Kirstenbosch is the perfect way to unwind. Pick up a map and follow the winding paths or just get lost on the trails. With a little café and gift shop, you could definitely spend a relaxed morning or afternoon here.
The Test Kitchen
A booking at The Test Kitchen is the hottest ticket in town right now in Cape Town, and it's no wonder. The restaurant was voted 'Best Restaurant in Africa' and took 48th place in the World's 50 Best Restaurant Awards in 2014. On average it takes 6 months to get a table at this foodie hot spot, which offers incredibly creative fine dining in a relaxed and informal setting.
Shopping in Kalk Bay
For some relaxed beachfront retail therapy, Kalk Bay is a must. This quaint little coastal town has a waterfront road lined with independent shops selling art, jewellery, clothing, art and design pieces. It's the perfect place to pick up something authentic from Cape Town without the rip off tourist prices.It's completely hassle free and shop vendors are happy for you to roam in and out of the shops without giving you the hard sell. The Kalk Bay Co-op is a fantastic collection of shops selling products and clothing made by local designers.
Muizenberg Beach
Muizenberg Beach is one of Cape Town's longest beaches stretching a staggering 20 km along the coastline. With a strong Atlantic wind, Muizenberg is a mecca for Cape Town's surfing community and the waves further add to the bracing beach experience here. Primary colored beach huts line the sands which can be hired for the day. In the summer months Muizenberg is a hive of activity and is lined with ice cream trucks, sun-worshipers and surfers. The area is also kid-friendly with some lovely beach-front play areas.
This is a list of our ten favorite Bars and Nightclubs in Cape Town for your enjoyment. These we recommend to travelers visiting Cape Town. Some are here in Camps Bay, while others are a short drive away. They are not in order of preference, but rather in order of the establishment's distance from Camps Bay.
St Yves
St Yves is one of the hottest night clubs in Cape Town. With its breathtaking views of the Camps Bay beach and its exquisitely designed interior, St Yves is also an ideal setting for enjoying a quiet cocktail while the sun sets.

La Med
With its relaxed atmosphere and exceptional ocean and mountain views, La Med is very popular with tourists and locals alike for sun-downers, dinners (gourmet pizzas and seafood) and dancing after dark.
Bascule Whiskey Bar and Wine Cellar

Opium is a stylish cigar lounge, whiskey bar and night club situated in trendy De Waterkant, which is a firm favorite with locals. Open till late, it boasts an impressive interior and some of the finest DJs.

Oblivion Wine Bar
A funky, European style Wine Bar for over 23s, which has become an institution in the Southern Suburbs. With an extensive wine list and the best pizza in Cape Town. Dance the night away on Fridays and Saturdays.
Tiger Tiger
Tiger Tiger is one of Cape Town's favorite gathering spots for party enthusiasts. It is open on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and comprises of 6 luxurious bars and one spacious dance floor. Music generated by a state of the art sound system.
This cocktail lounge is built literally on the rocks at Kalk Bay Harbor, only meters away from the crashing waves. Relax on leather sofas and sip a pre-dinner cocktail while soaking up the sea views.
The first Europeans known to have climbed Table Mountain were Portuguese seamen under Antonio de Saldanha, whose ships were part of a fleet on its way to India in 1503. They had a fracas with the local people, the Khoi, nomadic cattle herders known to Europeans for centuries as 'Hottentots'. There was a more serious skirmish in 1510, when many Portuguese were killed. Even so, European ships began putting in to Table Bay for fresh water and meat until in 1647 a Dutch ship, the Haarlem, was wrecked in the bay. The survivors returned to Holland to report that the place was fertile and suitable for growing vegetables and fruit, against scurvy, while the natives were not cannibals as reported, but friendly and, if kindly treated, could be converted to Christianity and used as servants. In 1651 accordingly, the directors of the Dutch East India Company, the Seventeen, decided to establish an outpost at the Cape, where their ships could put in for water and supplies and the sick could be treated. Jan van Riebeek reached Table Bay on April 6th, the following year with an expedition some ninety-strong in three ships and went ashore the next day to select a place for a fort. Today's Grand Parade in the center of Cape Town is on the site.
Van Riebeck, who had been in serious trouble with the Company four years before engaging in private trading, threw himself into this opportunity and reported that he himself worked as engineer, mason, smith, carpenter and farmer. What turned the original outpost into the first European colony in South Africa was the Company's decision to let sailors and soldiers in its service settle at the Cape and start their own farms. In 1658 the first slaves were imported, from the East Indies and Central Africa, and when van Riebeek left for India in 1662 the little settlement had a fort, a hospital, a jetty, workshops and a granary, as well as houses.
The early settlers interbred with the Khoi and the colony's population was swelled by European immigrants who included girls from Dutch orphanages and Huguenot exiles from France, shipped out by the Company. By the 1690s the settlement of De Kaapsche Vlek (the Cape hamlet) had a couple of hundred houses and a European population of about 1,000, of whom two-thirds were Dutch and one-sixth French, with smaller numbers of Germans, Swedes, Danes and Belgians. There were also a hundred or so Africans and Asians, and almost 400 slaves.
Care was taken to integrate newcomers from other European countries with the Dutch, speaking the Dutch language and conforming to the Reformed Church, and the eighteenth century saw the gradual evolution of the Afrikaner people as the little settlement grew into a town, now called Kaapstad (Cape Town). When the British seized it in 1795, the town had about 1,000 houses and a population of some 14,000.

New publications - High Mobility Group A (HMGA) proteins: Molecular instigators of breast cancer onset and progression
Published on 'BBA Reviews on Cancer' by research group of prof. Guidalberto Manfioletti
News typology:
Cancer heterogeneity is one of the factors that constitute an obstacle towards an efficient targeting of this multifaceted disease. Molecular information can help in classifying cancer subtypes and in providing clinicians with novel targeted therapeutic opportunities. In this regard, classification of breast cancer into intrinsic subtypes based on molecular profiling represents a valuable prototype.
The High Mobility Group A (HMGA) chromatin architectural factors (HMGA1a, HMGA1b, and HMGA2) have a relevant and causal role in breast cancer onset and development, by influencing virtually all cancer hallmarks. The regulation of HMGA expression is under the control of major pathways involved in cell proliferation and survival, as well as in other cancer-related processes, thereby suggesting, for the HMGA members, a high degree of homology and overlapping activities. Despite of this evidence, HMGA proteins display also specific functions.
In this review, we provide an overview of (i) the pathways involved in HMGA transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation, (ii) the utilization of HMGA as molecular markers, and (iii) the biological role of HMGA in the context of breast cancer. We focus on the potential significance of HMGA in governing the onset and development of this tumour, as well as on the potential of these factors as novel specific targets for preventing and treating strategies. The emerging picture is a highly interconnected triad of proteins that could mutually influence each other, either in a competitive or cooperative manner, and that, in our opinion, should be considered as a unified and integrated protein system.

TALLAHASSEE - When it comes to their campaigns, candidates never say they want to go negative. An issues-based race, they maintain, is the key to victory.
Like many things in politics, that rhetoric does not always match the reality. Take, for example, the race for the newly drawn 3rd Congressional District, which stretches from Clay County to the Gulf of Mexico.
The Republican primary has been full of charges that candidates are not conservative or "political parasites." That's on top of an accusation that one candidate tried to bribe another out of the race.
When asked about the negative tone, though, the candidates stay they want to run an issue-based campaign. So far, only Gainesville veterinarian Ted Yoho has followed that philosophy.
Others have fired away while trying to portray themselves as squeaky clean.
"Your premise is not accurate," wrote U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns' spokesman, Paul Flusche, in a statement. "This campaign has been running positive TV and radio ads for weeks on Rep. Stearns' rock-solid conservative record and will continue to do so."
Stearns has run positive television ads talking about his work investigating Solyndra, a solar panel company that went bankrupt after getting $527 million in government-backed loans, and others that speak to his background. But the 12-term incumbent has also slammed his chief rival, state Sen. Steve Oelrich of Cross Creek.
In a mailer, he called Oelrich a "RINO" - Republican in Name Only. It says, among other things, that the former Alachua County sheriff is not a conservative because he received a C-minus from the NRA Political Action Fund in 2006, opposed education reforms touted by former Gov. Jeb Bush, and sought earmarks to help his campaign, among other things. The colorful mailer includes a picture of a rhinoceros, and a black-and-white photo of Oelrich.
Stearns also blasted Oelrich after he wrote a $10,400 check to get on the ballot instead of qualifying by collecting signatures.
"The voters of north central Florida recognize him as a liberal from Cross Creek, which is in Rep. Corrine Brown's district," the campaign wrote in an email blast.
Flusche said the mailer and email were not negative.
"Pointing out that someone has a liberal voting record and holds liberal positions is not negative, just as pointing out Stearns' conservative record is not negative," he wrote.
Oelrich says he is "running an honest, grassroots campaign," but he has been taking shots at Stearns, too.
His campaign told the Ocala Star-Banner about money Stearns earmarked for Central Florida Community College - where his wife, Joan, is an administrator. The paper published a story that questioned whether promotions and salary bumps Joan Stearns received were tied to the money.
"Abuse like this gives our state college system a black eye, and makes taxpayers suspicious of what else might be out there," Oelrich told the Star-Banner.
The following week, Stearns fired back by calling the allegation a lie. He also had the school's president write a letter refuting the story.
Oelrich said Stearns is the one needlessly slinging mud.
"The hypocrisy of Cliff Stearns is he continues to say he is going to run a positive campaign, not a negative campaign; yet the hit pieces arrived in the mailbox this past weekend, all authorized and paid for by Cliff Stearns himself," Oelrich wrote in an email.
Clay County Clerk James Jett hasn't been left out. Early in the race, he said Stearns tried to bribe him out of it. As part of those claims, he said he turned over a list of names to the FBI.
Jett said the move was part of his issue-based approach.
"Unfortunately, some people perceive the issues as being negative because of the nature of them, as they involve a particular candidate," he said.
Jett also called Stearns' a "political parasite" for being in Congress since 1988 when challenging him to a debate. Stearns denied the bribery allegations, and the FBI has not made any arrests or raided offices.
Still, Oelrich pounced.
"In this critical point in our nation's history, isn't it about time to put men of integrity back in Congress?" he wrote in a fundraising email. It included an ominous looking picture of Stearns with the words "Cliff Stearns FBI Investigated."
Only Yoho has avoided going negative.
"Over the past few months, we have seen a lot of negative campaigning in this race," he wrote in a statement. "While there is truth in some of these allegations, the fact remains that this is politics as usual and people are sick and tired of it."
He said negative campaigning will not fix the country's woes.
"Mud slinging will not fix our budget," he said. "Attack ads won't get our economy growing. Negative campaigning will not put people back to work."

Bet-at-home Deposit Bonus Code – All Terms Explained
Last updated & tested: 2020-03-12
Are you thinking of choosing Bet-at-home for your sports betting needs? Because there are so many operators out there, the bonus is often the factor that can make all the difference when it comes to choosing the best one for your needs. Here, we examine the Bet-at-home sign up bonus, plus other bonuses that are available for existing members. Our Bet-at-home review will help you to decide if this provider offers bet-at-home bonus you can get, and how you can access it.
Bet-at-home has been established for many years, and has been a popular choice with bettors since its inception as far back as 1999. It's a European organisation which is headquartered in Dusseldorf, Germany – with additional offices in Austria, Malta and Gilbraltar. This bookmaker does not allow access to the Bet-at-home bonus code for customers in the United Kingdom. However, if you are resident in Ireland, Liechenstein, Malta, the Netherlands, Cyprus or Gibraltar – you will be able to take advantage of the Bet-at-home sign up bonus.
Bet-at-home offers a range of betting markets, including a comprehensive sportsbook and a casino, as well as a live casino. The provider offered sports betting before adding the casino features in later years, and has grown to become one of the most popular bookmakers for sports wagering – particularly in Germany and Eastern Europe.
bet-at-home Bonus details:
Bet-at-home deposit bonus:All terms and conditions explained
The Bet-at-home sign up bonus for new customers is one of the best free bets offers we have found online. You can get a healthy amount of bonus cash when you register as a new member, and this can be used to bet on any aspect of the sportsbook. If you're looking for a way to make the most of the money you put into your betting account, and get a substantial amount back for your efforts – you need the Bet-at-home bonus code.
How to claim the bet-at-home Bonus:
- Reliable bookmaker operating for almost 20 years
- The provider of choice for many throughout Europe
- Welcome bonus for customers throughout Europe and Ireland
- Lots of choice for sports betting
- Casino and live casino betting available too
- Sign-up bonus worth up to £100
- Bet-at-home bonus codes easily accessible
Bet-at-home deposit Bonus explained
The Bet-at-home deposit bonus is worth a substantial amount of cash in free bets for the sportsbook. It is only available to new customers who have just completed their registration. Registering only takes a few minutes – it's simply a case of entering a few of your basic details and choosing your payment method for deposits and withdrawals.
From there, you need to enter the appropriate Bet-at-home bonus code. For new members, this is 'FIRST'. After you have registered, put some cash into your account as a first deposit. Then, you need to click on the tab that says 'my account'. From there, click on the link that says 'redeem bonus'. Enter the code, after which your new account will be credited with your bonus deposit match.
The amount of your bonus deposit match is dependent on how much of your own cash you have put in. It is worth 50% of your first deposit. If you want to access the maximum bonus cash of £100, you need to credit your account with £100. We recommend that you do this in order to make the most of this initial offer and enjoy as much free betting as possible. This can increase your chances of being able to generate a win and a payout as quickly as possible after you have become a new member.
Bet-at-home deposit bonusTerms explained
- Name: "100% first deposit bonus".
- Bonus type: New customer bonus for first deposits.
- Maximum bonus amount: £100.
- Able to be cashed out: Yes.
- Betting requirement:
- Minimum odds:
- Bonus code: FIRST.
If you do decide to choose this provider for your sports betting, and especially to access the welcome bonus, it's important to be familiar with the terms and conditions that are attached to
this offer. Here, we go into detail so that you can access Bet-at-home deposit bonus terms explained and decide if it's the right option for you.
At the time of signing up for the welcome offer, you will be able to access the terms and conditions. Bet-at-home may also provide details of the terms attached to the new customer promotion and any others you choose to take advantage of via email or alternative forms of contact. If you do choose to take part in the deposit bonus offer, the provider will assume that you have read and understood the conditions attached.
The welcome offer is only available to new customers, and cannot be used more than once. It is also worth bearing in mind that there is a limit of one betting account per person, household and IP address. Multiple persons residing in the same household cannot all take advantage of the welcome or any other bonus.
Bet-at-home has the right to change the details of the new customer promotion at any time, and to claim back funds relating to a bonus offer. This is likely to occur if the provider believes that the customer is thought to have breached the terms and conditions, or if it appears that there has been an attempt to create duplicate accounts, for example.
When you make the deposit that allows you to access the bonus, this amount plus any resulting winnings will be shown on your account as 'linked funds'. The money will continue to appear in this manner until all the terms of the promotion have been met, after which you will be able to withdraw your winnings.
What else is available:More ways to win
For our betting odds comparison, we had a look at other bonuses on offer at Bet-at-home. There is a decent casino offered alongside the sportsbook offering, and with that, there is a special promotion to welcome new members. You can get an impressive amount of bonus cash to use for betting on a wide variety of popular casino games, and this can get you off to a great start in terms in increasing your chances of winning.
You can get up to €1000 in bonus cash for use at the Bet-at-home casino. This is the maximum amount you can receive. The casino welcome offer is dependent on the amount of your first deposit. If you put €200 into your new account, you will be rewarded with a deposit match of 100%. This means that making a deposit of €200 will result in you having a total of €400 to bet with at the casino.
If you'd like to be able to access the maximum amount of casino bonus cash, you need to make your deposit a little larger. By putting in €2000, you will be able to access 50% of that in bonus cash. That equates to €1000 in betting money. This means that making a deposit of €2000 will give you a total of €3000 to bet with.
Whether you choose to go for the 100% or 50% deposit match, we recommend that you put in the maximum deposit – so that you have as much cash to bet with at the casino as possible. However, if you don't want to spend quite so much, you do have the option of going for the minimum deposits that are required to qualify for the bonus offer. For the 100% match bonus, the minimum amount you need to put in is just €1. For the 50% match bonus, the smallest amount that you need to credit your account with is €500.
To access the casino bonus, you need to register with Bet-at-home and make your first deposit. You should then purchase the number of casino chips you'd like (bearing in mind the minimum and maximum amounts required to qualify for the bonus) – after which your account will be credited with your bonus.
Our Verdict of bet-at-home:The bet-at-home Bonus
If you live in one of the qualifying countries, the Bet-at-home bonus is pretty decent. The qualifying countries for the sign-up bonus for new members include the following:
- Ireland
- Liechenstein
- Malta
- Netherlands
- Cyprus
- Gibraltar
If you live in the United Kingdom, it is advisable that you choose an alternative provider to get access to a good sports betting welcome bonus. We recommend you try 32Red, Redbet or Tipbet. 32Red is offering a 100% deposit match bonus, which means that you can get up to £100 in free betting cash if you put in £100 of your own money. At Redbet, you can also get a 100% deposit when you sign up as a new member, and this can be worth up to a maximum of £50 in bonus cash. New members of Tipbet can access a welcome bonus of 200%, and this can grant you a maximum of £200 to bet with on the sportsbook.
Should you choose the Bet-at-home bonus?
The Bet-at-home bonus for new members compares well with what is on offer from other providers in the industry. The maximum bonus amount of €100 can go quite far in terms of betting on the sportsbook. The great thing is, this is an operator that has a very extensive range of markets on offer when it comes to sports betting – so you get multiple opportunities to make the most of that bonus cash.
There are over 7000 betting opportunities offered by Bet-at-home on a daily basis, and every sport imaginable is covered by the bookmaker. The odds are good, better than many other providers in many cases – so if you do manage to generate a win, you'll end up with a fairly lucrative payout.
Unlike some other bookmakers, you don't have to wait around to access your winnings. Once you've fulfilled the wagering requirements on the bonus, you'll be able to get your money very quickly. You can use your bonus for live betting, and there's an extensive provision offered – along with useful information like key statistics and live scores during the matches.
If you're keen on betting apps, you won't be disappointed by Bet-at-home. The Bet-at-home app is available for both Apple and Android customers, and it's easy and convenient for betting on the go. You can use the app to access your sports betting bonus, and the casino bonus – along with any other promotions that become available during your membership.
Bet-at-home deposit and withdrawal is quick and easy, and there is a variety of options to choose from. Methods available include the following:
- Visa
- Mastercard
- Diners Club
- Skrill
- Giropay
- Bank transfer
- Paysafecard
- Neteller
- Paybox
- Paypal
- Trustly
With the exception of Visa, Mastercard and Diners Club (for which Bet-at-home charges a fee of 2%), all other methods are fee free. This is great because it means that you get to bet every penny of your deposit, and when you do win, the cash is all yours.
5 expert tips for the Bet-at-home bonus

The Approbation is an unlimited license to work as a pharmacist in Germany. Please note that, if you hold a license to practice pharmacy in any European country, USA, Australia, Israel, Canada, Japan or South Africa, the process of the Approbation in Germany is simpler.
The application for the Approbation requires you to submit several documents (CV, copy of passport, certificate of birth, certificate of study, etc.) to a Governmental Office. There are 16 States in Germany, the offices in different states operate in different ways.
For the application, you should hand in a certificate of German language. The level required is normally B2, although the higher your level, the better. As of 2017, there are 2 German states require level C1. The Governmental Office will ask you to pass an extra language examination applied by the syndicate of doctors – the objective is to test your ability to use medical vocabulary and to test of your ability to communicate with patients. The exam is oral. Normally the exam is applied by a representative of the governmental office and a medical consultant. The questions are simulations of medical cases. In these exams, your language proficiency is what counts.
After you have passed the language exam and submitted all the documents, the German authorities will analyse your application for the Approbation. There are two possible outcomes of this analysis: your study and experience might be considered equivalent to the one of a doctor who has studied in Germany, or you might be considered not yet equivalent.
If you are considered equivalent, you receive the Approbation right away. If not, you will be required to pass an equivalency test (In German, Kenntnisstandprüfung or 3. Staatsexam). This exam tests your medical and pharmaceutical knowledge.
Step one
Learn German until B2.
Step two
Pass in the German language tests (Fachsprachprüfung).
Step three
if necessary, pass the equivalency test (Kenntnisstandprüfung / 3. Staatsexam).
This might sound overwhelming. This is why we offer a Preparation & Coaching Program that guides you through the entire process and prepares you for the exams!

If you've been paying attention to 2018 at all, you'll already know that Fortnite is the hottest trending game in 2018. It's played by over 40 million players monthly. Ridiculous.
If you've got a Fortnite-obsessed player in your home, and you're looking for their 2018 Christmas ornament, we've got you covered below with our list of the 8 best Fortnite Christmas ornaments available right now.
I'll note that the selection is currently limited to Etsy, as there (surprisingly!) aren't any officially licensed Fortnite Christmas ornaments available just yet. Still, the ornaments below are the highest-rated (and, in our opinion, best-looking) Fortnite ornaments available right now.
1 Fortnite Bauble Red Ornament
This Fortnite bauble ornament is a deep red color with a white vinyl printed Fortnite logo on it. It also comes with a sheer white ribbon. You can add personalization to it with their name for just an extra $2, but personally, I like the classic look of it without the name. It's the standard bauble Christmas ornament size, coming in at 2.5″. If you want it to arrive by Christmas, all orders have to be placed by December 9th.
Price: $12.00
2 Fortnite Llama Ornament
3 Fortnite Loot Llama Dome
This llama dome ornament is our #2 favorite on this list, as it features a cutesy llama set on a micro world, enclosed in a glass dome. It's one of the best-selling Fortnite ornaments on Etsy. While it is a bit on the expensive side for an ornament, just note that it's going to be one of their favorites every year.
Price: $35.00
4 Editor's Choice: Boogie Bomb Ornament
5 Fortnite Bus Wooden Ornament
6 Skull Trooper Ornament
7 Loot Llama Figurine
This is an awesome loot llama figurine that is made so that it can be hung on the Christmas tree. Super colorful, and it's available with different colorways as well. It's the most expensive ornament on this list, but that's understandable when you factor in that it's handmade and how detailed it is.
Price: $58.14

I am not okay.
The last few weeks and really this whole year so far have been really hard on me mentally and physically. I have had more than a few days where I have had so little energy or been in so much pain that I really couldn't get anything done. These days have forced me to start accepting that yes I am a spoonie. And I am not so good at planning my energy.
Planning my time and energy has always been an issue for me. But on top of that is overestimating what I will have the energy for. This is probably due to knowing that other people can do that much and having people rub that in my face. It can be really hard to turn off the internalized ableism that is playing over and over again in my head. It also does not help that my metabolism is so high that I can be fine and energetic one minute and suddenly famished or drained the next.
I feel like I am a lot luckier than a lot of the spoonies I know. I usually have more energy than them and I am usually stronger. I am not bed bound as often as some others. But my bad days can hit several at a time and like I said my metabolism makes it really difficult to tell how long I will have energy. I need to sit down and reevaluate my goals and start portioning out the energy I should have and not the energy someone else should have. I also have to account for the fact that I have a reading disorder and that means it can take a lot longer to do things.
And even now my mind is resistant to accepting that yes I am a spoonie and that I need to be more careful with myself. I always have this fear that I don't belong somewhere. I am always afraid that I am not wanted. It is complicated, but health and mental health is like that. It just ain't simple.
Tata for now.

Books I Want To Read In 2017
Whoot! I have already finished two books this year! "All My Friends Are Dead" and "All My Friends Are Still Dead," which means they were short picture books, but I read them. They were morbidly adorable. I highly suggest reading them, especially if you have an Addams family sense of humor. And thanks to Bookshare and other resources that help me read more efficiently I am planning to read a lot more this year. I already have a handful of books on my tablet just waiting their turn to be read.
Here are some of the books I am excited to dive into soon.

The Secret Cave of the Sisterhood at Windsor Castle
Lest you think that what follows is a tale of a feminine version of the Hellfire Clubhouse, please disabuse yourself of that notion immediately. "The Sisterhood" to be discussed here was about as far distant from that lecherous league as … Continue reading

One of my very favorite quotes about Education comes from Charlotte Mason, "Education is an Atmosphere, a Discipline and a Life." At Momversity our goal is to help you further your own Education so that what's inside of you will flow over into your family and community. If education is not the filling of the bucket but the lighting of a fire, then I hope as you continue your own education, in all things motherhood, that you will burn with passion and excitement as you minister in your homes and communities.
Education is an atmosphere.
In our homes we strive to create an Atmosphere that fosters learning in our children. What about creating an atmosphere that helps you to continue learning, mama?
With free resources that abound everywhere today, it's easier than ever to keep learning. We have libraries full of books, free kindle books, podcasts, blogs, youtube, ted talks, etc. There are so many! I know that sometimes it's all just overwhelming and you aren't sure where to go and who to trust.
So how can you create an atmosphere that helps you to learn?
Well, the very first step is to take an assessment of what your atmosphere is now?
Let's use all 5 senses. First close your eyes. What do you hear? What do you smell? What do you feel on you? (comfortable clothes, clean floors or crumbs, soft blanket, cold or hot, etc) Now open your eyes. What do you see? Find a piece of chocolate and enjoy the sense of taste that God has gifted to you!
Using what you learned from the 5 senses test can help you to know what to learn and grow in now!
No. You can't just snap your fingers and have the house organized. But you can set a timer and work in a room for 15 minutes a day and at the end of the month you will have it organized. See http://flylady.net/ for more help on getting in a great home routine.
Could you play an audio book or podcast and learn while doing the dishes or laundry? Could you play some calming music to calm the children and yourself?
Maybe you could light a candle or run a diffuser with oils to add to the calm of the situation or to improve the smell. Bake something yummy to fill the house with a wonderful aroma.
How do you feel? Do you think that you would feel better if you dressed nice? Then dress nice. Put on an apron for work to keep clean. Dress in workout clothes if you need to really clean and don't forget the shoes. I find that I really have to wear tennis shoes to get real work done in my home. Do you feel frumpy? Fix your hair and make-up.
What do you see? How could you make your home have a better atmosphere for learning? I like to keep books in different places in my home. That way when I have a chance to sit for a bit then I have a book handy to read. I really enjoy using my smartphone to listen to podcasts with my headphones. You can tape scripture up on your walls in strategic places so you can memorize and meditate on God's life giving words.
The Atmosphere of your home is formed from the ideas that rule your life. What ideas are ruling your life? Do you need to change some of those ideas with scripture?
Are you a thermostat mama or a thermometer mama? One changes things to keep the right temperature while the other one just responds.
First, mama, steep yourself in God's word. Pray and seek God's direction in your learning, growth and changes that should be made in your home. That is what will give you true peace in your heart and home.
Another great place to learn about changing the Atmosphere of your home is The Lifegiving Home by Sally Clarkson.

On 1 May 2019, the District Election Officer rejected the nomination of the former BSF jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav as a Samajwadi Party candidate from Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency. Several persons have questioned this action of the Election Commission.
Varanasi is a VIP constituency since the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a candidate from this constituency. It is being projected as if the nomination of Tej Bahadur has been rejected because of undue influence of the BJP Government or the ruling party.
However, a closer examination of the relevant legal provisions and the facts of the case show that his nomination appears to have been rightly rejected.
Section 9 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951, lays down as under:
"9. Disqualification for dismissal for corruption or disloyalty.—(1) A person who having held an office under the Government of India or under the Government of any State has been dismissed for corruption or for disloyalty to the State shall be disqualified for a period of five years from the date of such dismissal.
(2) For the purposes of sub-section (1), a certificate issued by the Election Commission to the effect that a person having held office under the Government of India or under the Government of a State, has or has not been dismissed for corruption or for disloyalty to the State shall be conclusive proof of that fact:
Provided that no certificate to the effect that a person has been dismissed for corruption or for disloyalty to the State shall be issued unless an opportunity of being heard has been given to the said person."
Thus, a person who has been dismissed from a government service for corruption or for disloyalty to the State is disqualified from contesting elections for a period of 5 years from the date of such dismissal. It is further provided that a certificate issued by the Election Commission in this regard shall be conclusive proof, as to whether the dismissal was for corruption or disloyalty or was not for these reasons.
Now, in the case of ex-BSF jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav, he was dismissed from BSF on April 19, 2017. So, the period of 5 years from that date would operate till April 18, 2022. Thus, he was required to obtain a certificate from the Election Commission that his dismissal from government service was not on account of corruption or disloyalty to the State.
Before filing his nomination, Tej Bahadur Yadav should have been aware of the legal provisions relating to disqualification of candidates. Moreover, he has been fielded by a well-established political party, i.e., Samajwadi Party, which has sufficient legal support. Despite this, Tej Bahadur or Samajwadi Party did not take sufficient care in advance to satisfy the requirements of law under Section 9 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.
This is not an obscure provision of law hidden in some old circular, but it is a prominent legal provision in the main Act itself. They cannot say that they were not aware of this legal provision. Everyone is supposed to know the law. Ignorance of law is no excuse.
Moreover, despite an additional opportunity given to him by the District Election Officer to produce the certificate from the Election Commission, he failed to comply with the requirements of law.
Thus, the rejection of nomination of Tej Bahadur Yadav appears to be in order. He and his political party are themselves to blame for this legal fiasco. The Election Commission would not take such major action of rejecting nomination of a candidate (and that too in a VIP constituency of the PM, which can attract media attention) under undue influence of the government or the ruling party.
