Is a Leeds Building Society fixed rate bond right for you?
It can be difficult to know how to get the best return on your savings, especially with so many different savings products on the market. A savings account will usually give the best rates of interest on small sums of money. For example, RCI Bank and Post Office presently offer 1.30% on their savings accounts.
It should be noted that savings accounts usually have a fairly low cut off point above which interest is not paid or will have a maximum balance that you can have in the account at one time.
Fixed rate bonds offer a guaranteed rate of interest until the bond matures and are usually offered over 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or 5 years. The longer the term of the bond, the better return you will usually get.
Once you place your funds into a fixed rate bond, you will normally not be able to access it until the bond matures. However, some providers will allow you to take money out before this in exchange for a financial penalty (usually in the form of lost interest payments).
Fixed rate bonds can help your savings retain their value relative to inflation and you will usually see the real world worth of your money increase over the life of the bond. Because you can keep your existing current account, a fixed rate bond should not impact on your regular banking.
Why choose a Leeds Building Society fixed rate bond?
Leeds Building Society is the fifth largest building society in the UK. Their fixed rate bonds offer the following key advantages:
- Minimum deposit of £100
- Maximum deposit of £1million
- Interest can be paid monthly, annually or on maturity depending on the specific bond
- Accounts can be managed by post or in branch
Fixed rate bonds from Leeds Building Society are offered with the following condition:
- No early withdrawals are permitted
Compare Leeds Building Society fixed rate bonds
Right now, Leeds Building Society offer a range of fixed rate bonds over 1-4 years. If you are looking to invest for a longer period or are hoping to find a better rate of return, you may want to take a look at alternate providers including Aldermore, UBL and Vanquis.
Getting the best deal on fixed rate bonds
The exact products different institutions offer and the details of those products, such as interest rates, change all the time. This is due to shifts in the market and changing consumer demand. Keeping track of which brands and products are currently offering the best deal for you can, therefore, be a challenge.
Our fixed rate bond comparison table, above, allows you to quickly and easily compare the most attractive deals on the market to make your life easier. We keep these offers updated all the time to reflect the best value products we can find.
When choosing a fixed rate bond, it is important to be clear about your own expectations for the return you want to achieve and your existing and likely future financial commitments. Doing this should help to ensure that you end up making a decision that works for you long term.

The direction of Nigeria's fiscal policy over the medium-term still hangs on a balance as ministers are yet to resume. While delay is costly, a more pressing concern would be seeing the FG sustaining the policies of the past four years. In this report, we present the task ahead for the finance minister between 2019 and 2023 by analysing the dire state of FG's finances.
Since the collapse in the prices of crude oil in mid-2014, the FG's revenue has fallen sharply to 3.1% of GDP in 2018 compared with the record high of 5.0% to GDP in 2013. With expenditure outpacing revenues at 5.4% of GDP, the FG has accumulated N3.9tn in debt from the domestic and external debt markets to partly plug its fiscal deficit of N8.2tn between 2016 and 2018. In addition, the FG received N5.6tn in monetary financing from the CBN, which is more than half the FG's total deficits. This support has breached the constitutional threshold of 5.0% of the prior year's revenues by N5.2tn. With the cost of servicing debt and recurrent expenditure at 60.8% and 146.9% of revenues respectively, this strategy is unsustainable. The FG needs a strong revenue boost and cost containment strategies to improve its finances and enhance its contribution to economic growth.
The strategies to boost revenues in the first term of President Buhari fell short of expectations. This includes a whistle-blower policy which helped in recovering looted funds and the Voluntary Asset and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDs) that supported a broader tax net and N30.0bn in receipts despite a target of N305.0bn. Accordingly, FG's revenue to GDP only improved to 3.1% in 2018 from a low of 2.3% in 2017. To achieve revenue targets, we believe there is a need for comprehensive fiscal reform. This would include action plans to improve the tax system and administration in a bid to drive efficiency by reducing costs and boosting collection. In addition, more transparency and accountability would be required by the citizens to encourage tax payments. The VAT increase being mulled given Nigeria's lower VAT rate of 5.0% when compared to peers represents a quick fix.
However, this would not be a silver bullet as total VAT receipts for the entire country is weak at 0.8% of GDP in 2018. Similarly, as two cities – Lagos and Abuja – account for 75% of the VAT receipts, the FG should work on bringing more businesses into the VAT net rather than imposing more taxes on current taxpayers. In Lagos, for instance, consumers already pay twice the national rate of 5.0% as consumption taxes. Increasing VAT collection would require lower taxes and costs in the formal economy as well as providing conditions that enable faster business growth. In our view, this would take time, hence revenues are likely to remain weak for an extended time.
Reining in spending will also not come easy as the FG's wage bill is likely to increase significantly over the next two years due to the implementation of the new minimum wage which is 67.0% higher at N30,000.00/month. The bigger challenge is that public sector wages often rise almost evenly across the board once a new minimum wage takes effect. For context, the wage bill more than doubled between 2010 and 2012 after the last revision to minimum wage. Although we expect the increase in wages to be less aggressive upon implementation, it would still put considerable pressure on FG's fragile finances. The FG is negotiating a moderate increase of 5.0% and 9.5% for grade levels 7-14 and 15-17 respectively while the Trade Union Congress (TUC) is angling for 25.0% and 30.0%. We believe the FG needs to rein in overhead costs, which are more discretionary, to partly offset the new wage increase.
From our analysis, improving the FG's fiscal position would be tougher than expected. But our outlook is not entirely gloomy as we see quick wins. Government spending on energy subsidies continue to be steep, denying the FG and States of much needed resources. We estimate a 22.9% expansion in FG's revenues over 2018 levels with the removal of petrol subsidies and the adoption of a market reflective exchange rate alone. Ultimately, the passing of the PIB and the review of petrol and electricity prices are necessary to drive improvements in the energy sectors as well as to support an improved fiscal position for governments.

Rational Emotive Therapy
Rational Emotive Therapy, also called Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), was established by Albert Ellis, the father of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It is a comprehensive method that is both philosophically and empirically focused on resolving patient problems and disturbances, both emotional and behavioral and attempts to enable those patients to lead happier and more fulfilled lives.
REBT is viewed as part of a continuum of psychological thought that traces itself back to Roman philosopher Epictetus and continues through the work not only of Ellis but of his contemporaries Aaron Beck and Alfred Adler. The fundamental premise of REBT is that humans do not get as emotionally disturbed by unfortunate circumstances as by how they construct their views and perspective of these circumstances through language, evaluative beliefs, meanings and philosophies about the world, themselves and others. This type of therapy is very personalized to help an individual tailor their own emotional responses to situation.

With YouTube's ongoing growth, it's no surprise that Google has acquired the company behind ToonTube, a video platform for kids.
And ToonTube Shuts Down…
ToonTube is Launchpad's online community that, like YouTube, allows children to upload and share videos with one another. Videos included music, animation, and channels that focused on unboxing games. The most popular channels on the site were receiving billions of views.
But after the acquisition was announced, ToonTube said it was time to "retire ToonTube, our global storytelling network for kids." All video content must be downloaded by March 4th, presumably to allow Launchpad Toys to focus on Google's agenda. No one knows for sure what's next, but the company's apps are now completely free.
On their website, they said they were "turning the team loose on a whole slew of amazing new creativity tools for kids that we can't wait to tell you about."
Speculation has arisen that Google will develop a separate video platform for children, much like ToonTube.
Google's Agenda for Kids
Almost a year ago, The Information claimed that Google was developing a version of the site specifically for kids under 10. The site would focus specifically on kid-friendly material, while screening racier, more adult-oriented material.
TeleStory, one of Launchpad Toys' apps, seems to fit well with Google's agenda. Children are encouraged to "write, direct, and star in your own TV show." After writing a script, children are allowed to use built-in themes that augment their video.
There are clear reasons why Google would want to focus on video:
As we've written about elsewhere, video is exploding in popularity. All of the major social networks and micro-blogging platforms are integrating video functionality…and not just ads. Facebook's autoplay videos have some news networks speculating that the massive social network may be able to compete with YouTube as a video platform.
Likewise, Millenials watch less TV. The decline in TV usage, according to video marketing firm ReelSEO, is echoed in the millennial generation. They also reported that DVR and Live TV usage are lowest among those aged 18-24, while smartphone usage is higher.
Kids and Tech: What the Data Shows
Though the study's demographics are quite a bit older than the young kids that make up "Generation Z" or the "iGeneration," the trend is clear…
Video is moving to mobile…and mobile is where the youth are. One study found that some young people are so addicted to their phones that, when they were taken away, they "employed the rhetoric of addiction, dependency and depression."
And the Harvard Business Review reported that:
- Two-third of children aged 4-7 have used an iPhone or iPod
- 6% of children from 2-5 have their own smartphone
- 72% of the top 100 education apps in iTunes were aimed at preschoolers and elementary school students
- Children aged 11-14 average 73 minutes per day texting
- More than 25% of 2-5 year olds and over 40% of 6-8 year olds use the internet
- The amount of time kids spend online has tripled in the past 10 years
Clearly, the younger generation is a connected generation. And Google plans to capitalize on that connectivity.
How Other Tech Companies are Adapting Their Services for Kids
But Google isn't the only company that's targeting younger demographics with new media:
Twitter launched a new version of Vine, just for kids. Vine Kids will build off the same 6-second loops that Vine uses, but this version of the app will filter out inappropriate content…such as twerking, swearing, and other adult-oriented material.
Facebook hinted at plans to allow younger generations onto its site. Currently, Facebook bans children under 13 from using the site. But a patent application filed at the end of 2012 had some speculating that Facebook might allow children to use the site with parental supervision.
And according to a study cited by Daily Mail, more than half of children ignore Facebook's age limit. The study claimed that most children will set up a fake profile by age 11. Leaving aside legitimate concerns around child safety, these trends clearly indicate that kids are adapting to the online world…in many cases, better than older generations.
Nickelodeon is hopping on the streaming bandwagon. This spring, they plan to offer a subscription-based service that would reach consumers directly – without relying on Hulu, Netflix, or other streaming carriers. Though they were sparse on the details, they said that the standalone service wouldn't carry the Nickelodeon name, and would be "very attractive for parents and children."
Clearly, young children are becoming more tech-savvy and internet-savvy with each passing day. And some companies appear to be tackling this problem more than others…
While Facebook has poked its nose in the direction of adapting services for its kids, it still has a long way to go if it wants to cover the entire age spectrum.
Google, however, has its fingers in many pots. By acquiring ToonTube and offering a separate, child-friendly video platform, Google is adding more tools to its umbrella of services.

I presented my Course Evaluation building block for Blackboard at DevCon 2012 in New Orleans, LA.
Watch it here! or (audio only)
It was fun to walk around later and have people come up to me and ask me questions - usually it's the other way around. I found that getting up in front of people is not really that scary, especially when you're confident and prepared to talk about your material. Echo 360 can take you back in time to my presentation.
Later at BbWorld, I got to demo the survey functionality coming later this Fall (October version 9.1.10) and I'm very excited to see Blackboard step up to the plate.
My block will most assuredly be sun-set unless we find some show stopper in the new survey/course evaluation tool that Blackboard is offering out of the box. When I was asked how I felt about this, I replied, "We knew a year ago the Blackboard Course Evaluations was coming at some point, but this (B2) gave us a solution while we waited which saved us thousands of dollars. I'm glad the wait is almost over."
Kudos to Blackboard for yet another step in the right direction!

FunTest - Functional Test Highlighting For Components And Nets With CAMCAD
I wrote this Visual Basic 6 utility in 2005 at the request of a customer looking to highlight components and nets relative to functional test of PCB assemblies. The customer explained to me that the output from the functional test system was something like "Step 2 Failed". However, there was no indication as to what component(s) and net(s) were exercised in the functional test. So what the customer asked for was the ability to setup a simple configuration file for their test engineers that could be used as the basis for highlighting components and nets in CAMCAD related to specific functional tests. In simple terms, the setup file was outlined to be something like this:
FunctionalTestStep1 | C1, C2, C3 | Red
FunctionalTestStep1 | $N123, $N567 | Yellow
FunctionalTestStep2 | U1, R12 | Red
So selecting the FunctionalTestStep1 entry would cause three components to be highlighted in red and two nets to be highlighted in yellow. Selecting FunctionalTestStep2 would cause two components to be highlighted in red.
After some feedback, the functional steps were subdivided into procedures. So functional test step 1 could be broken down into 2 or more procedures, with each procedure highlighting different components or nets. The idea was the first procedure highlighted all the components and nets directly used in the functional test. The subsequent procedures could be setup to highlight just a specific few components or nets within the larger set (to identify the most probable parts that historically failed that test step), or are parts to check after the primary parts are verified. There is also a function that reviews the components and nets in the setup file and compares them to the data in CAMCAD, so that it's easy to spot places where the setup file lists components or nets that do not exist in the layout file.
(click picture to enlarge)
This code is being offered to the Community primarily as an example of how to create a custom application which does specific component and net highlighting in CAMCAD. The original purpose was targeted towards functional test step visualization however the code is quite generic and could be used in a variety of ways. Note - I am not looking to add to or modify this tool, I am just providing it to the Community base as-is, as an example of what CAMCAD automation can do.
The setup file is called funtest.txt. Inside the file are instructions for creating data lines. Those instructions are also copied below. Note - the example setup file works with the CAMCAD sample layout called pads.asc, distributed with CAMCAD in the Samples\PADS directory.
; Funtest Input File, funtest.txt
; This file is the input file for FunTest. The

Down strike at the death to condemn Westmeath to defeat
Jerome Johnston was the hero for the northern side in Newry

Down 0-10 Westmeath 0-9
A superb point from a free (following a great mark) by sub Jerome Johnston deep into added-time gave 14-man Down full points in a very tight game against Westmeath in Newry on Saturday night.
A foul on Tommy McDaniel on the quarter-hour mark gave Westmeath a penalty, but Rory Burns got down well to save Ger Egan's spot kick. Nine minutes later, Down were reduced to 14 men when Pat Havern picked up a straight red card. Westmeath went on to lead by 0-5 to 0-4 at half-time.
A wasteful Westmeath side had ample possession to pull away in the second half but Down always managed to stay in touch, with Ryan Johnston regularly catching the eye in attack. It looked like a draw would be the outcome until Jerome Johnston, only on the pitch for seven minutes at the time, kicked a wonderful score to send the home fans into raptures.
DOWN: R Burns; D O'Hagan, R Wells, G Collins; S Fegen, C Flanagan, J Flynn; C Mooney, C Poland (0-1); C Francis, P Devlin, K McKernan (0-1); R Johnston (0-3), P Havern, D O'Hare (0-4, three frees).
Subs: D Guinness for Francis (35 mins), C Harrison for Devlin (half-time), C McGrady for Flynn (half-time), C Maginn for Fegan (half-time), J Johnston (0-1, free) for Harrison (65 mins).
WESTMEATH: E Carberry; K Daly, R Wallace, B Sayeh (0-1); F Boyle, J Gonoud, J Dolan (0-1); D Corroon, N Mulligan; R O'Toole (0-1), L Loughlin (0-1), G Egan (0-3, three frees); K Martin, T McDaniel, S Duncan (0-2).
Subs: C McCormack for McDaniel (half-time), F Coyne for Duncan (54 mins), D Lynch for Boyle (65 mins), J Halligan for Corroon (70 + 2 mins).

19TH HOLE: The Readers Take Over
The lady has written a masterpiece. I refer to the article This Was My Africa (SI, March 10).
Ever since my boyhood hero Theodore Roosevelt hunted in Africa in 1909, I have been reading hunting stories about that continent, especially those pertaining to elephants.
It was not until last year that I was able to hunt there myself. I covered the same ground as Virginia Kraft portrayed in her story, and I shot an elephant in the same area along the Tana River. As she says, "I don't really understand why I wanted so much to shoot an elephant." Neither could I understand why I wanted to hunt them except that some compelling urge steered me on until I finally had the tusker at my feet. Then...the most peculiar emotion overcame me which I could never describe. I have experienced emotional reaction with other big game, but nothing to match that of downing my elephant.
Probably it is the letdown from intense anticipation and concentration similar to the climax of an important horse race. Anyway, Virginia has been able to capture that mental reaction and put it on paper. The story is fascinating and factual. It made me homesick for Africa and the elephant country.
Johnstown, N.Y.
What manner of people are these, who kill animals, not for the meat, nor for the hides, nor even for defense against marauders who threaten livestock, but solely for the sake of killing? I can understand bullfighters killing (and they do it with a sword, not a small cannon), because it is their livelihood and also because the carcass of the dead bull is not left to carrion birds.
I realize that this letter will not change anything in the least, but I write it in the hope that my protest against wanton slaughter of animals will be read. Incidentally, I am not a "bleeding heart," as hunters like to brand people who feel as I do. I have enjoyed and participated in sports all my life. However, the so-called "blood sports" I can do without.
Los Angeles
•The editors of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED have over the years received many hundreds of letters on big-game hunting. From these it is plain that the communications gap between those who are drawn to trophy hunting and those who have an instinctive aversion to the killing of animals is well-nigh unbridgeable, as the letters from Messrs. Lesser and Yanez, which are typical, indicate. This is not surprising, because historically and emotionally there exists a great schism in the world of sport. On the one side are athletics or games; on the other, blood sports. Few sportsmen can make a real commitment to both.
Games, such as track and field and the team sports, owe their origin directly or indirectly to festivities related in ancient times to religious ceremonies or tribal celebrations—for example, the Greek Olympics or the endurance tests at one time common to many American Indian tribes. These festivities were spirited demonstrations of man's physical endowments, stamina, speed, skill and grace. The victor's reward was of symbolic value only, a wreath of laurel or a bit of ribbon. This esthetic concept of sports today finds its highest expression in a superbly conditioned runner's competing not against his fellow men, but against the abstraction of time, i.e., the four-minute mile.
Blood sports, on the other hand, were born of grim necessity: survival in war and peace. Ancient man hunted animals for food even before the discovery of fire, and the skills necessary to taking an animal by stealth and cunning were as useful in warfare. What differentiates blood sports from games is that their goal is the acquisition of a trophy without which in the final analysis the sport loses its meaning. It is not true, however, to say that the kill is the beginning and the end of blood sports such as big-game hunting. Some 40 millennia ago Cro-Magnon man translated the pleasures and beauty of the hunt into exquisite cave drawings. And, speaking of big-game hunting, Theodore Roosevelt, one of the few men who understood both blood sports and athletics, could find no words to express "the hidden spirit of the wilderness—its mystery, its melancholy, its charm...the awful glory of sunrise and sunset in the wide, waste spaces of earth, unworn of man."—ED.
I would like to call attention to the fact that the auto race held at Monza, Italy was boycotted by the group of race drivers who were also the principal participants in the recent disastrous race in Havana, Cuba (SI, March 10).
It should be remembered that the Monza race was held on a closed course with adequate crowd control. However, this group of drivers stated that the Monza course was "not safe" and that they refused to participate in the race for that reason. In spite of the obvious unsafe condition of the road course in Cuba these same men did race on it. In five laps they scored seven spectators dead and 31 others injured.
Now the thing that comes to my mind is just how do these men define the word safety and who is included when they speak of safety?
I think these men know the full meaning of safety insofar as they themselves are concerned, but they refuse to apply it to the spectators. Whatever the safety problems at Monza were, the important thing is that the Monza race was nearly stopped by a very few influential drivers' complaints about the safety of the track.
Why in the name of common sense don't these and dozens of other safety-minded drivers take hold of this issue and use it where it is needed—in a drive for spectator safety.

I want to thank you for pointing out the difference between real hot rodders and the type of person Mr. Prewitt thinks is a hot rodder (19TH HOLE, March 10). Though I am 41 years old, I have long been a hot rodder, having built several racing boats and engines, one of which won the national championship in the 7-liter class for me in 1951. Since then I have built a hot-rod ski tow boat (see above) and am now building a sports car using a Kurtis Indianapolis chassis and aluminum body with a hot-rodded Chrysler engine, which I built up. At present I am sponsoring a local hot-rod club which is trying to get the use of part of the local airport for a drag strip.
Thank you again for helping us out with your article.
Kinston, N.C.
From the standpoint of a $2 bettor who cares little about improvement of the breed, your coverage of the foul in the Flamingo (SI, March 10) was excellent. Your pictures should convince even those who had $2 on Jewel's Reward's nose that there was dirty work in the stretch.

It's always nice to see news and views of squash racquets, especially women's, in SPORTS ILLUSTRATED (SCOREBOARD, Mar. 10). But when your esteemed magazine describes Peg Carrott as a "better than fair" player I must, in all fairness, protest.
After all, Peg split matches with Baba M. Lewis, runner-up in the nationals, and beat me fairly and squarely four times this year—a pretty fair record.
JEAN McCORMICK
Newtonville, Mass.
•Jean McCormick, a "better than fair" squash player herself, ranked fifth nationally in 1957, this year was beaten by sixth-ranked Peggy Carrott in the nationals and in the Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania state tournaments.—ED.
The Marylander does not bet on the horse mammal, shoot the duck bird or angle for the rockfish. If any of the Outdoor Writers ("Never Say Fluke," E&D, March 3) will venture no farther from their Baltimore headquarters than to "Mash" market, he will learn that what the New Englander calls the striped bass and what hinterland beaneries term the rockfish is known simply, but definitely, as the rock.
I lived and fished in Maryland for many years. Moreover, in certain sections—say Tangier Sound—a man may go fishing for trout or blues, but when he contemplates taking the rock, then he is said to be "going rocking."
The Maryland nickname is an affectionate shortening of this species' scientific name Roccus saxatilis. It has the advantage of brevity, the authority of science and authenticity gained from long usage. Furthermore, it is unique and distinguishes this remarkable fish from any and all of the unrelated, nonaffiliated fishes with the word "bass" in the name.

If you haven't yet heard of berberine, it won't be long until it's on your radar. Berberine is a plant compound with a long history of medicinal use in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, and now Western research has confirmed that the yellow-pigmented compound has some very unique actions in the human body. Research is focusing on its potential in diabetes, obesity, PCOS, fatty liver, and cancer, among others.
Berberine is found in the roots, stems, and bark of various plants, including goldenseal, barberry, and Oregon grape, and has potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. But one of its most exciting properties is that it activates an enzyme in our cells called adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is sometimes referred to as a metabolic "master switch" and regulates how energy is produced and used in the body; activation of the enzyme increases glucose uptake, fat burning for energy, and mitochondrial biogenesis. Mitochondria are the energy-producing organelles of our cells, and increased production (i.e., biogenesis) of mitochondria is important to maintain overall health and wellbeing.
Because of AMPK's influence on metabolism, researchers consider it a potential therapy in controlling metabolic diseases like diabetes and cancer. As Jacob Schor, ND, writes in the Natural Medicine Journal, "activating AMPK can produce the same benefits as exercise, dieting, and weight loss—the lifestyle modifications considered beneficial for a range of maladies."v Berberine is one of only a handful of compounds that activate AMPK, making it a valuable tool in treating an array of modern day diseases.
Rates of metabolic disorders such as type-2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome have skyrocketed in modern times, and dysregulation of blood sugar, insulin, and triglycerides are hallmarks of these types of disorders. Much of the research conducted with berberine has investigated its role in blood sugar control, and the results are impressive. Berberine lowers fasting glucose and insulin levels, post-prandial glucose (glucose levels after eating), HbA1c (a marker of long-term blood sugar levels), and triglycerides.vi vii It improves insulin resistance, inhibits glucose production in the liver, stimulates the breakdown of glucose, and regulates lipid (fat) metabolism. Research has found that berberine is as effective as metformin (a common diabetic drug) at lowering fasting blood glucose and HbA1c, and even more effective than the drug at reducing triglycerides.ix x It has also been shown to be as effective as metformin in reducing insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
The bulk of berberine's positive effects on blood sugar are likely through its activation of AMPK, but there's another novel way that berberine may help—through its ability to modulate the gut microbiota. Negative changes in gut bacteria have been connected to metabolic diseases, including type-2 diabetes and obesity. Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes are two types of gut bacteria that play a role in regulating fat storage and metabolism, and some studies have found that obese individuals have more Firmicutes and less Bacteroidetes compared to lean controls. One animal study found that berberine not only significantly lowered blood glucose, lipid levels, and body weight but also significantly reduced the number of Firmicutes in the gut.
Cardiovascular disease (including heart disease, stroke, and hypertension) is the number one cause of death in the U.S., killing more than 800,000 people annually. Along with its blood-sugar regulating abilities, berberine has also been found to have a positive impact on several other markers of cardiovascular health, including improving the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol, reducing triglycerides, improving endothelial function, and suppressing inflammatory cytokines. One study investigating berberine's effect on patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) found that supplementing with berberine, in addition to conventional therapy, significantly increased left ventricular ejection fraction (the amount of blood pumped out of the heart with each heartbeat), exercise capacity, and improved the dyspnea-fatigue index, a measurement of labored breathing and fatigue in CHF patients compared to those who received conventional therapy alone. In a two-year follow-up, there was also a significant decrease in death in the berberine-treated patients compared to those only receiving conventional therapy.
Metabolic disorders like metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes are intricately linked with cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). These often occur together, or one may be a precursor to another. With its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and AMPK-activating properties, berberine is proving to be a valuable multifunctional intervention. A recent randomized, controlled trial including 184 patients with NAFLD compared lifestyle intervention (diet and exercise), lifestyle intervention plus pioglitazone (a diabetic drug, that should be noted, can cause or worsen heart failure), or lifestyle intervention plus berberine (500 mg, three times daily). Lifestyle intervention plus berberine resulted in a significant reduction in liver fat (57% compared to 36% in the lifestyle intervention group), a "remarkable" decrease in body weight, and better reductions in blood glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol. Berberine was more effective than the drug in reducing body weight and improving triglyceride levels. To explore berberine's mechanism of action on NAFLD in humans, the researchers looked at an animal model of NAFLD and found that berberine favorably collects in the liver—with a concentration 50 times higher than in the blood—where they propose it directly affects genes related to energy metabolism, including activating liver AMPK. Previous research has found similar results.
Ancient practitioners knew there were special properties in the plant compound berberine, and now modern research is shedding light on just how remarkable this compound's effect is in the human body. With berberine's unique and multiple modes of action, it is looking to be a modern-day panacea when it comes to metabolic disorders. Berberine is rapidly metabolized, so it's best taken in divided doses throughout the day. Most studies have used between 1,000 and 1,500mg daily.

When it comes to getting involved in online gaming, there's nothing quite like the thrill of teaming up with friends to take on other gamers in intense, competitive battles. But did you know that the games which most commonly allow you to do that are known as MOBAs?
In short, MOBA games are a form of MMO which tend to have a combat feel, with gamers also adopting a persona in a style similar to MMORPGs.
The abbreviation MOBA stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena and refers to games which generally have a very specific set of features in their gameplay and design. Basically, such titles tend to have a real-time strategy element and revolve around a fairly simple aim: to compete in a team against opponents and defeat them in a form of battle.
An exciting sub-genre of MMO games, MOBAs have grown in recent years to become a key part of video gaming and a pop culture phenomenon in their own right. In this part of our guide, we will examine several key questions you may have about MOBA games including:
A key part of playing MOBA games is familiarizing yourself with the features that such titles tend to have.
It is very common for MOBAs to involve:
There is a MMORPG element in MOBAs too, because each individual player has a unique set of characteristics. Common terms for the roles that players take on in MOBAs include:
Mids - stay in the middle lane of action on the map
Solos - stay in the lane with the shortest distance between bases
Carrys - tend to be assisted by Supports in the longest lane
Junglers - who stay in unchartered territory and attempt to "gank" (spring surprise attacks)
These characters all tend to have different attributes, but each undoubtedly has a key role to play in the success of their team.
Just like many other MMOs, playing MOBAs tends to be historically linked with PC gameplay. However, the rising popularity of the genre means that many titles can now be played on other platforms, including mobile and consoles.
There is no simple answer to the question of which title could be regarded as the first MOBA. A name which pops up regularly, however, is Aeon of Strife.
Created as a custom map for the original version of Starcraft, which was released back in 1998, Aeon of Strife is seen by many as the gaming experience which gave birth to the core elements which we now associate so strongly with MOBA gaming.
While the Defense of the Ancients – or DotA – map designed for Warcraft III in the early 2000s was also a key moment for the genre, Aeon of Strife undoubtedly deserves a huge amount of credit.
What are the biggest MOBA games?
A succession of blockbuster titles in recent years have made MOBAs one of the most popular genres in gaming. Some of the biggest titles include:
In addition, the best MOBAs also have devoted fan bases who love the fantastical worlds that such games are often based in.
Considering the huge rise of MOBAs in recent years, many are optimistic about their future. With new technologies regularly emerging in gaming, chances are that such developments may have the potential to push MOBAs to a whole new level.
For example, there are already reports that developers are looking at how to pair MOBA gaming with a virtual reality (VR) experience, a move which could throw gamers right into the heart of the action.
Augmented reality (AR) elements have also been adopted by some titles - including The Machines and an AR way to play League of Legends - so it is clear that developers are currently looking to enrich the MOBA experience further by adopting new ways to play.
The idea of playing video games for a living might seem like a teenager's dream, but the ever-growing world of eSports has made that a reality for some of the most talented gamers on the planet. Professional competitive gaming sees players do battle on a range of titles, with MOBAs forming a fundamental part of the scene.
Competitions related to the likes of League of Legends and Dota 2 tend to have major amounts of prize money on offer, with winning sides often securing multimillion dollar sums for coming out on top. ESports are edging ever closer to the mainstream, and that in turn means that MOBAs could soon be bigger than ever before.
As we've pointed out above, the MOBA genre is commonly linked to the world of PCs. However, the emergence of smartphones and tablets as platforms which can offer a high quality gaming experience means that a host of top games are now available for those who are regularly on the move.
In fact, while PC games can be quite tough to initially get to grips with, the accessibility of mobile gaming means that the platform is often a fairly simple way for people to take their first steps into the world of MOBA gaming, especially in terms of simplified controls.
From their beginnings in a custom map created for Starcraft, MOBAs have become one of the most genuinely exciting parts of the gaming industry and the world of MMOs.
With their influence felt everywhere from mobile to eSports, the subgenre is a core part of gaming which is surely only set to go from strength to strength in the future.

Welcome to today's card which is called The Bakery Shoppe
It was bought from www.craftuprint.com and it is by one of my favorite talented designers Karen Briggs
The kit number is 205151_68 should you be interested.
So back to the card and how I made it...
The kit was printed onto matt photo papers, there are 5 sheets in all - the shop front which has some of the decoupage, shop back, shop inside which has the remaining decoupage and the 2 pieces for the envelope
Its important to read the instructions and follow them or you will do as I did the first time I made up one of these shop cards because instinct told me how to do it - and in fact I messed up and had to reprint it all!!!! A lesson learnt for me.
I started by cutting out all the pieces and added a piece of acetate to the window, there are 2 shelves which are decoupaged to go on the back inside sheet and then a decoupage panel that has tabs on the bottom which slip and fix into slots on the inner sheet.
Once I had the tabs secured in place I decorated the cakes and buns using glossy accents on the cherries and strawberries, pearlidoodles in pink, blue and lilac on the cupcakes and glamour dust in random places for a bit of shine!!!
Once everything was dry I set to work on making up the card - so taking the shop back I scored on the 3 marked lines as instructed and the same 3 lines on the inner sheet, the shop front only has one score which is where the double sided tape is placed to fix the panel in place.
Laying the inner panel on top of the back panel it all lines up perfectly. at this stage I added a strip of double sided tape under the top edge of the inner panel to keep it in place once I moved the card about.
As in the instructions, the next step is to attach the shop front and shop back lining up the shaped roof, I used double sided tape which I removed the backing and rubbed my glue stick over just in case I didn't get lined up correctly and needed to try again.
Once I was happy they were lined up I smoothed them together making the double sided tape bond.
To the bottom of the card I used DST to attach the inner sheet to the shop back then the DST panel on the shop front was attached to shop inner.
The little boy and his dog were decoupaged and had glossy accents on the pocket of the trousers as well as the dogs eye and nose - this was then attached to the lower left of the card to show them peeping through the window longingly!!!
This is how the card looks from the side - it folds flat for posting and easily pops back into shape when opened up.
You can print your verse direct to the shop back using something like Picasa but I decided I wanted to mat my verse to contrasting card stock so printed onto normal paper, cut it with fancy edged cutter then matted and fixed in place with double sided tape!
The black panel in the photo on the card back is where I have cut it as I had written my message before I took the photograph, and as it was to hand to a friend this week it didn't seem right to share that info with you all!!!
I do hope I didn't over complicate the way I made this card - if you get the chance, please do have a go at this type as they are easy but look great when done!!!
Thank you for looking and see you again soon I hope.....

To be updated with the latest information in the apiculture industry to may visit our beekeeping latest news. On the other hand in case you are starting apiculture and desire to begin professional beekeeping now get a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping can be a full time profession or a hobby that is simple. Nonetheless, more often than not, what began as a hobby would turn into a profession. But you cannot merely tell and determine yourself that you will start to do beekeeping. You need to have comprehension and satisfactory knowledge on the subject that you're going to enter before starting on any avocation or profession. Then it's about time to indulge yourself in your line of interest if you've been putting off your curiosity about beekeeping for quite a long time. Bee farming may not appear difficult; learning the basic beekeeping lessons can allow you to get away to a great beginning.
What does a beekeeper should understand?
You should have total interest on beekeeping to start at the right foot. You should also have agreed to share your dwelling space with the bees. There are potential risks in beekeeping that can damage not only you but your family too. You then must understand the supplies and equipment that you will use for beekeeping, if you decide to let the bees inside your living space. Your focus is not only to build an income by selling honey; a good beekeeper should have passion and a keen interest in rearing bees.
An apiarist ought to know the right place for the beehives. You need certainly to make sure beekeeping is enabled in your area if you decide to put your beehives at your backyard. There are several areas restricted to beekeeping; you should get permission relating to this.
Beekeepers must understand whether beekeeping supplies are offered in the area where the beehives are situated. You may never understand when you need to attend a neighborhood beekeeping shop; it's best that a nearby beekeeping store is reachable.
Protective supplies and equipment are also important for beekeepers to know. Know the right type of suit to select to keep you from any possible danger in beekeeping.
Last but definitely not the least, among the beekeeping lessons you need to find out is that: it's not unimportant for the beekeeper to know the proper manner of picking honey. All the efforts that are beekeeping would be useless if you are not able to harvest honey from your bees. The approaches should be known by a beekeeper in collecting the honey from the comb; beeswax is also part of the yields in beekeeping.

April is "Stress Awareness Month," so I thought this would be a perfect time to focus on simple, easy, yet extremely effective ways to de-stress.
This can be an enormously stressful time of year for many people:
But it doesn't have to be that way.
The truth is, while a certain level of stress can be a natural response to life's demands, most of the high level of stress and anxiety that so many people are overwhelmed by, including chronic stress, is unhealthy and unnecessary.
That is, you actually have more power and control over your experience of stress and anxiety than you might think.
By getting "back to basics" — simple, everyday practices that are easy to overlook – you can actually learn to experience peace and calm in the midst of busyness and stressful circumstances.
Here are seven of the easiest and most effective ways to de-stress and feel centered every day.
I look forward to hearing how your experience changes when you implement these strategies. Please let me know and share in the comments!
And be on the
Thanks as always for reading, and be well!
P.S… If you haven't gotten your copy of my eBook, The Stress Solution yet, you owe it to yourself to get it today!
It will help you master stress to transform your life and enjoy peace, calm, clarity and happiness every day. It's also an in-depth, transformational resource based on clinically proven techniques, my work with clients, and my personal experience. I know you will love it.

The Charlevoix Area Humane Society is looking for foster families for several of their current dogs, cats and kittens at the shelter.
It is "kitten season" and they currently have 29 kittens/Moms who are now or will soon be ready for a foster family.
They also have 3 cats who have not been adopted for over a year, and could use a 2-3 month break from the shelter to re-connect with people one on one or in a family.
They also have 3 very shy and non-aggressive dogs who've been in the shelter since December.
These dogs need kind, patient families to teach them how wonderful people are!
Molly is a 4-year-old medium-size boxer/retriever mix who is a real sweetie.
Wynn is a large dog who may have some St. Bernard in him, but is smaller in size. He is 1 1/2 years old and is truly beautiful.
The third dog is Raylan, who for the past month has been in foster care. Raylan is a 5 1/2 year old basset hound mix. He goes on car rides, is toilet trained and comes when he's called most of the time. Raylan is a really smart little guy who is still working on being comfortable around people he doesn't know. And while Raylan doesn't need a foster home, he does need a forever home and is available to be adopted.
if you would like to meet the dogs, cats and kittens, go to the Charlevoix Area Humane Society at 614 Beardsley St. in Boyne City.
Or, call them at (231) 582-6774 or go to charlevoixhumane.org.
The shelter is open to the public from noon to 6 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays.

Halep Crushes Serena To Win Wimbledon Title
"I wanted this badly," said Simona Halep, smiling. "When I started the tournament, I talked to the people from the locker room that my dream is to become a member here. So today it's real and I'm really happy."
90 minutes earlier, Halep's will, hunger and execution combined to lethal effect as she produced the greatest performance of her career to smother Serena Williams 6-2 6-2 in 59 minutes on Centre Court.
It was a brutal performance by Halep, and she set the tone from the opening game. The second point was a warning in the form of a running, searing forehand angled passing shot, and they kept on coming. The second game ended with a sweeping backhand down the line after a long point where the Romanian moved Williams to the ends of the court. She broke again at 0-2 with a backhand return winner.
Throughout her first Wimbledon final, Halep did everything she possibly could. Her serve garnered cheap points, her return neutralized Williams' great weapon. She moved exceptionally and also ensured that Williams was constantly on the move. By the end of the match, Halep had hit 13 winners to only 3 unforced errors.
"I knew that I have to be aggressive, being 100% for every ball, that I don't have to let her come back to the match because she's so powerful and so strong," she said. "She knows how to manage every moment. So I knew that I have to stay there, which I did pretty well today.
"I'm very sure that was the best match of my life. Also on grass against her is never easy. So I'm really proud of my game of today and the whole tournament."
Halep arrived in the Wimbledon final with a 1-8 record against Williams, but she was buoyed by the 6-0 6-2 rout of the American in their Singapore encounter. More recently, and more relevant to the match-up, were two blazing battles between them in their last two matches.
At the Australian Open, Halep played a fantastic match as she pushed Williams all the way in three tight, high-quality match and it was a similar story at the US Open in 2016. Both times, Halep was able to test her strength and she saw that she had weapons to dent Williams' defense and the defensive skills to neutralize her returns and retrieve countless balls.
"Well, I decided this morning how I have to play against her," she said. "I knew exactly what I have to do to put her in trouble, not letting her make her game. When she has time, she plays unbelievable. I played many times against her. I knew how the ball is coming. I knew what she doesn't like that much. So I don't know.
Today I just went for it like in Singapore. I had that image in my head. I really believed there is the chance to do the same thing. I knew I have to stay there every ball. Otherwise, when she comes back, she's very powerful."
For Halep, the victory has come after the most interesting 13 months of her life as she finally achieved her goal in the sport by winning the French Open after reaching number one. Players reacting to their lives changing forever is always fascinating, but Halep's was unique.
After achieving her life goal, she decided that she was going to "chill", that she was going to stop devoting every ounce of her life to the sport. She continues to work as hard and do all the work she was doing before, but she is no longer tethered to the sport around the clock, devoting every second of her life to giving herself the best chance of succeeding on the court. Now. she allows herself to enjoy life away from the sport.
"I managed after winning the French Open pretty well, even if I was a little bit exhausted in the end of last year," she said.
"I took a big holiday, a long holiday, and then I said it is a chill year. But I meant I wanted to relax as a person, not as a player. I still work hard for every day, every match, every tournament. That's why I was able to win this tournament now in this moment. I've been professional all the time. I'm happy about what I achieved these two weeks. I can't describe how I feel winning Wimbledon. It's pretty special."
"I have to admit I believed more that I'm able to win another one. Once you win one you have the feeling you know how it is. You treat it a little bit easier, let's say. It's never easy, but you treat it a little bit easier. Yeah, I was motivated after I won the first one that there is another chance for one more."
For Halep, this win changes nothing. Her victory only inspires her to win more slams, to rise back to number one and to continue building a great career.
"It's not the only one match I played great. In my opinion, I played many great matches, even if I lost few of them. I feel that I'm at the highest level, for sure. But I'm feeling also that I can improve some things, not about today's match. But this tournament, I feel like I have to improve other things. I will keep working for that. I'm still motivated. I'm looking forward already to the next tournaments and next challenges that I have."

Forgotten Lake | Darksiders 3 Walkthrough Darksiders 3 Guide and Walkthrough
This page of our Darksiders 3 guide contains a walkthrough for Forgotten Lake. Fury has to solve four different riddles. Fortunately, our walkthrough describes each of the puzzles, step by step.
- General information about Forgotten Lake
- Puzzle 1 - Entrance to Forgotten Lake
- Puzzle 2 - Templar of the Damned and Essence of a Chosen
- Puzzle 3 - how to get the first sword and open the gate?
- Puzzle 4 - Two blocks and a first survivor.
General information about Forgotten Lake
Forgotten Lake is the first stop in The Depths. Part of the area is underwater so you will have to use the force hollow to be able to move on the bottom. As you move underwater, watch out for mines that, while seemingly stationary, will move in your direction as soon as you get in their range. Remember that with the hammer can be used not only in battle but also to break down walls and other elements of the environment. You'll also find some puzzles to solve, hidden items and additional side bosses to kill.
- General information about Forgotten Lake
- Puzzle 1 - Entrance to Forgotten Lake
- Puzzle 2 - Templar of the Damned and Essence of a Chosen
- Puzzle 3 - how to get the first sword and open the gate?
- Puzzle 4 - Two blocks and a first survivor.
Puzzle 1 - Entrance to Forgotten Lake
To enter Forgotten Lake, you have to solve a puzzle. On the left, behind the purple wall, there is a hidden statue. First of all, defeat your opponent and smash the obstacle blocking access to the statue.
Stand in a spot where you will have access to all the items marked in the picture above. Use Salvation to select 3 targets and then throw the weapon. After a short while, the entrance to Forgotten Lake will open.
In the first place, it is worth to mark the checkpoint and take care of the collected souls, strengthen the weapon or assign any leftover Attribute points. Once you've done all the work, immerse yourself in the water and start exploring.
Puzzle 2 - Templar of the Damned and Essence of a Chosen
The Templar of the Damned is one of the chosen, additional Bosses in Darksiders 3. For defeating it you can receive the Essence of a Chosen. If you feel up to it, you can battle this powerful opponent.
The entrance to the underwater room from which you will have access to the chamber of the Templar of the Damned is located on the left. The entrance is defended by two water creatures that you need to defeat using the hammer.
Break the wall to proceed to the puzzle.
There are two crystals on the pillars, which you have to hit almost simultaneously to open the gate. Go into aiming mode and mark both targets. Then throw Salvation to activate the crystals.
Use the essence of strength to stick to the wall and move all the way to the top.
You will find yourself in a room where you will be forced to fight the Templar of the Damned. Your opponent has a spear capable of executing far-reaching swings and stabs. What's more, he often protects himself with a shield, so the only opportunity to hit this opponent is to execute a quick counter after a perfect dodge. For defeating the Templar of the Damned, you will receive the Essence of a Chosen.
Puzzle 3 - how to get the first sword and open the gate?
To advance to the next stage of your journey through Forgotten Lake in Darksiders 3, you will be forced to open a gate. Before you do this, you'll have to find the missing sword. Below you will find detailed instructions on how to do this.
When you dive into the water, look for the passage shown in the picture above. It is located near the entrance to the puzzle leading to the Templar of the Damned. Break the purple wall with a hammer and move forward.
Use the hammer's power attack to move the rock closer to the balcony, and climb it.
You will have to defeat one stronger enemy and several mobs.
Now, you'll need to reach the piece of land visible to the right.
Use the force hollow and Salvation to break the obstacle under the ceiling.
Use the hollow to jump on the wall and follow the path.
Break the obstacles blocking the corridor and enter.
Your task now is to move the rock cube into the previous room. Use the hammer.
Place the cube on a switch to reveal the crystal in the recess visible above on the other side of the room.
Position yourself more or less at the center of the room, then mark the upper crystal and the two located on the pillars behind your back.
The weapon will hit all the crystals and open the gate.
Before you get the sword, you'll have to face some enemies. Don't forget to collect the additional items located in the room.
The sword is located to the left. Take it, and jump to the gate on the right,
Place the sword in the statue on the left, then jump back and mark the 3 targets visible on the picture above.
When you hit all the targets in quick succession, the entrance to the next part of Forgotten Lake will be opened.
Puzzle 4 - Two blocks and a first survivor.
To save the first man in The Depths you will have to solve a puzzle with two moving blocks. Below you will find detailed instructions on how to do this.
The way leading to the next puzzle is located right behind this wall. Jump into the water and swim forward. Watch out for the enemies that swim nearby.
The first step to solve this puzzle is to destroy the obstacles located on the "road" of the rocks.
Use the hammer to move the rocks and place them as shown in the picture above.
Use the flame hollow to jump on the rock shelf.
When you hear the voice of a scared man, look up. The man is located behind that wall.
Jump above the wall and save the first man in Forgotten Lake. Before you leave, collect the item on the left. Jump back across the wall, and proceed.

This whimsical Zig Zag wallpaper in green from makelike makes me think of going through the woods to grandma's house. Little Pink apart, it makes a dramatic statement.
When painting after removing wallpaper, wall preparation is more essential. The partitions will need to be completely and fully cleaned of any glue residue. If glue remains on the wall when the paint is applied it can dry and crack and leaving spidery cracks in the newly painted space. After washing down the walls, they are going to have to be fully sanded and any broken areas repaired. Finally, a primer coat, corresponding to KILZ, needs to be utilized prior to painting for finest outcomes.
You might not want to reproduce or use the same paper but you should all the time attempt to protect at the least among the unique paper. We are only caretakers of period homes and any historic wallpapers are an important a part of that historical past. If the previous paper cannot be eliminated without damaging it, we propose leaving no less than one repeat on the wall and putting a body with UV protected glass over it.
Blakeney designed 22 different paper options. Every roll is screen-printed by hand. There's one called Nana," in loving reference to the way her daughter refers to bananas. It possesses a regal motif inspired by banana tree leaves. The collection celebrates nature in a vibrant means. Each sample comes with its own story. The Aja" honors the patron of the forest and the animals in Yoruba mythology.

New recruitment campaign for adult social care
4th December 2018
The Department of Health and Social Care are developing an adult social care workforce recruitment campaign to raise awareness of and drive recruitment into the sector, and help equip the sector with the knowledge of how to support the campaign and boost its recruitment marketing.
Throughout November a pilot scheme for adult social care recruitment advertising was run in both Gloucestershire and Tyne and Wear. Media in both localities covered the campaign which helped to extend the reach to over 250,000 people. The pilot scheme revealed the following:
- Case studies are key to best communicate the passions, benefits, and realities
- Using staff and service users in advertising rather than actors will land more effectively
- We need to continue to promote the variety of roles and breadth of tasks
- An existing connection with ASC makes one more likely to consider a career in the sector.
- So, we aim to facilitate peer-to-peer advocacy
- A cascading approach is essential for scaling out i.e. securing provider buy-in is essential
- to enable a national approach with regional PR
The results from the pilot will inform a national roll out of the campaign in early 2019. The advertising is formed around the concept 'every day is different when you care'. This is running across websites, radio, social media and local press. You can find out more at www.everydayisdifferent.com.
The Department of Health and Social Care need the support of local employers/providers with the following:
1. Advertise your vacancies: on the Department for Work and Pensions Job site, on local jobs boards and your own websites
2. Help us with PR: supply us with case studies and spokespeople which we can promote on social media, the website and with media engagement
3. Support the Facebook page: www.facebook.com/everydayisdifferent like the page, share content and add your own experiences. Encourage staff to do the same, particularly with those who they think would be suitable working in adult social care, as we know referrals are a positive driver for retention
5. Share your learnings: what's worked / not worked in your own recruitment marketing?
6. Help us with evaluation: this is crucial in helping us assess campaign impact. A simple wall chart is available which acts as a daily diary for participating employers to note daily enquiries applications and interviews. A postcard and PDF inviting potential employees to a half hour telephone interview for which they will be paid £50 is also available. The final piece of the jigsaw is 30 minutes of providers' time to talk
To find out more or if you or your organisation is able to suport with any of the above activities, please contact email@example.com

A Nitrogen Sports (SBR rating B+) player surveyed forum posters on if they have ever experienced delays while waiting for a large bitcoin withdrawal.
The player shared that his betting account underwent a security check from Nitrogen Sports as he requested his withdrawal to a new hardware wallet payment address.
He was told that the security check process could take up to 48 hours, but he only had to wait 17 hours until the payment came through. He shared that he did not have to provide his ID to Nitrogen to receive his bitcoin.
SBR Forum poster 'raiders72001' commented: "It's rare but it does happen," regarding Nitrogen delaying a withdrawal to verify compliance. Most withdrawals are processed within 10 minutes at the sportsbook, which became known for near instant withdrawals.
Nitrogen was added to the online sportsbooks rating guide in September of 2014 and was the first bitcoin betting site to be rated by Sportsbook Review.
