Gambling awareness ads to take the UK by storm...

Gambling online is becoming so easy to and even easier to register. UK bingo sites are becoming stronger and stronger with more pulling power than ever and are managing to target whole new audiences through their integration onto our smarty phones and technological devices. With this huge rise in online bingo advertising comes a huge rise in gambling addictions, now Senet Group have decided to do something about it and release a series of gambling awareness adverts to help counteract the negative pull of gambling industry giants.


It’s estimated that 1-in-3 people in the UK gamble online with websites like fabulous bingo and other attractive bingo websites.


The Senet Group, for those of you whom aren’t aware is the independent gambling self-regulator, and it has come to attention that it is in fact running some brand new media campaigns in the form of television, online and radio advertising with the aim of reminding people who regularly partake in gambling to be careful with their cash and never bet more than they can comfortably afford to lose. Also they convey that they should never chase a loss, but pack up and move away.


The advertisements are carefully crafted and these particular ones adopt a play-on-words to the famous 1977 Ram Jam song ‘Black Betty’ and they also feature a slightly different lettering in its “When the fun stops stop”. Feeling positive about the new adverts due for release, Ron Finlay, the Chief executive stated that “our research shows that gamblers are getting the message, but we want to keep reinforcing it.” – Ron Finlay, Chief Executive, Senet Group. Moreover on a statement on the Senet Group’s website Finlay goes on to say “We’ve also added guidance to include trackside hoardings shown on TV within the restrictions that apply to TV advertising before the 9pm ‘watershed” in an attempt to tighten everyone’s knowledge upon the subject.


Reminding gamblers that when gambling stops being fun then, they should call it a day Senet group have already invested over £2M this year alone to try and stop gambling addictions in their tracks before they even get chance to surface. “We also know that a number of online operators are developing software to help at-risk gamblers stay in control, and this is an area where Senet intends to develop a greater understanding, with a view to promoting a best practice approach.” – Wanda Goldwag, Chair of gambling industry self-regulator, Senet Group. This shows that working together customers and players will have a much better chance at not losing too much money and the potential younger audience should remain safer in front of the TV ads if they are only shown after 9.


Gambling operators who are members of the Senet group are committed to



  • A voluntary TV advertising ban on sign-up offers (free bets and free money) before 9pm




  • Withdraw all advertising of gaming machines from betting shop windows




  • Dedicate 20% of shop window advertising to responsible gambling messages



Membership of the Senet Group is open to any gambling operator, to find out more information about gambling responsibly or to join, see their website here.

The Psychology of Online Poker

There are not many of us out there who do not enjoy winning in one way or another and playing poker is for many an art form, playing the game within the game replete with all of its subtle nuances.


Many games are games of chance and whilst it is true that your cards are random, the psychology behind the game if learned well can make you into a master, and in turn can make you very, very rich.


Poker boasts the largest and richest, long running tournament involving many countries in the industry, having run for over 40 years and making some people instant celebrities and millionaires, just take a look at one of the many news articles available to see what is going on and who is battling it out with who.


There is a great deal of difference when you look at playing poker in a bricks and mortar venue compared to playing the games online, as the intricacies of a good poker strategy are based on knowing your opponent, of guessing correctly how they will react to your actions and learning through these things how to outwit them.


Having a ‘poker face’ is a well-recognised term with deception being at the root of the game.  Players can conceal their thoughts at the table and even change their playing style from aggressive to passive to outwit and un-balance their opponents.


Being aware of your opponent’s strategy then is of utmost importance, so how does a player achieve this when playing online, without being able to physically see any opponent in effect ruling out any reading of emotions or body language?


Even when playing the live games online which take place in a real casino, in real time with a live dealer and with other players does not offer the subtle changes in body movements you would get at a bricks and mortar venue, and it costs the casino site a lot of money to set these types of games up compared to those run by randomly numbered generators (RNG)  These games are however the closest you are going to get to a bricks and mortar game and can be found on only the best quality sites such as Mr Green Casino and the games are well worth some of your time and coinage.


If you cannot detect dishonest behaviour online then the best strategy is to effectively unbalance your opponent by varying your approach and sending out messages that are not the same, being inconsistent is the answer.  You could start by varying the size of your raises so that your opponent cannot  interpret your betting pattern which in turn reduces the chance that they couple exploit an y weakness you may have.


Use the chat box.  When you use the chat box whoever you are speaking to will view you less as a threat and more as a friend, and is less inclined to do bad things, plus it is possible that they will underestimate your hand, of course this principle could also be used in the opposite way as if you insult your opponent or boast about how great you are you run the risk of angering them, and overheated emotions can often lead to showdowns, putting your opponent on tilt.


Knowing how to ‘get to your opponent’ and how to read them as best as you can will also prove useful if these tactics are used against you, and if you sense that your opponent is using one of these techniques then you will automatically know that they cannot be trusted.

Extraordinary Photos of Soviet Abandoned Space Shuttle Prototypes

Ralph Mirebs, an urban explorer and photographer in Russia, has revealed extraordinary photos of Soviet space shuttle prototypes gathering dust in an abandoned hangar in Kazakhstan.


The Buran prototype shuttles found by Mirebs, however, are from an earlier era – they are the last remnants of a space program that began in 1974 and was finally shuttered in 1993. The only operational Buran shuttle, Orbiter 1K1, completed one unmanned orbital flight before it was grounded. Unfortunately, this shuttle was destroyed in a hangar collapse in 2002.


Hopefully, MIrebs’ photos will inspire the Russian government to put these shuttles in a museum where they belong.

Young Inventor’s Idea For How To Make Ocean Clean Itself Will Be Launched In Japan

How to rid the oceans of the millions of tons of plastic garbage that circle along their currents? Boyan Slat, a 20-year-old innovator in the Netherlands, has novel approach to the problem and there’s a good chance he just might succeed.

The massive rotating currents in the world’s oceans make collecting or even monitoring garbage difficult, but Slat’s Ocean Cleanup Foundation is developing a way to use those currents to its advantage. Slat envisions long-distance arrays of floats that would skim garbage from the surface while allowing aquatic life and the currents themselves to pass by underneath. The company estimates that a 100km stationary cleanup array could remove 42% of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch over 10 years, representing a total of 70,320,000kg of plastic waste. For now, they’re installing a 2,000m trial system in Japan, which will become the longest floating structure in the world when completed.


There are some technical issues with the plan, which were brought up in a review by deepseanews.org. However, we hope that Slat works the kinks out of his plan and achieves his visionary goals!

Anti Logos For World Cup 2022 in Qatar

FIFA’s decision to hold the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is drawing more and more criticism as more and more allegations of everything from bribery and financial mismanagement to slavery and deadly work conditions pile up. 900 workers have died during construction for the Qatar world cup, and some estimate that this number will rise to 4,000 before they’re finished.


SEE ALSO: Brazilian anti-fifa street art expresses outrage over World Cup


Migrant workers’ passports are often confiscated upon entry into Qatar, and they require exist visas to leave. Many reports indicate that these workers cannot leave the country and that their employers can hold back pay almost indefinitely. This has hit Nepalese workers especially hard recently, as many of them have been refused the chance to return home after the earthquakes that devastated Nepal. The intense heat in Qatar (which can reach 50C – or 122F) not only makes things hard on the laborers, it also means that the actual cup had to be moved to the winter, which will disrupt other sports organizations around the world.


A few people have begun drawing and sharing anti-advertisements featuring major sponsors that continue to support the World Cup. Take a look!

World’s First ‘Phodographer’ Dog

The Nikon came up with new “Heartography” heart monitor and photo camera system, that let dogs show their owners what excites and interests them by snapping a photo from their point of view every time their heart rate goes up.


The heart rate monitor can be worn on a strap around the dog’s neck. The camera is worn on the dog’s chest with the help of a harness, and the two communicate with Bluetooth. When the dog’s heartrate goes up – which can be when he’s excited or afraid – the camera snaps a picture! It’s not yet clear if the system will be available for sale.

How the Technology has Changed the Humble Board Game

If you cast your mind back to previous generations, the concept of entertainment was scarcely recognisable in comparison with today’s technology-inspired age. Without a multitude of television channels to choose from and the digital age still but a distant dream, families and friends interacted in more traditional ways that are increasingly alien in 2015.


image00 (1)


As a result, board games were extremely popular during this period. The development of these entities heralded the dawn of table top games, which established gaming patterns that have remained commonplace to this day. The only difference is that these patterns have now been translated into digital formats, and are therefore accessible online.


image04


This has been a steady and gradual evolution, although there have been innovations that have accelerated this process in the last five years. The result of this is that online and mobile gaming experiences are now capable of authentically replicating real-world environments and interactions, creating a seamless blur between the physical and virtual worlds. This trend is prevalent across all forms of gaming, from classic board games to the worlds’ most popular casino titles.


image02 (1)


So how exactly has technology changed the nature of table top games? Primarily, it has captured the intimacy and personal interaction associated with table top and board games, as players compete directly in a warm and familiar environment. It has also used advanced software and hardware to enable remote interaction between players, while also offering more realistic graphics and sound effects. From the development of 4G smartphones to the world’s first virtual reality (VR) headsets (such as Microsoft’s innovative HoloLens), players can now interact in a live, three-dimensional environment that adds authenticity to the whole gaming experience.


image01 (1)


This evolution has changed table top games beyond all recognition, especially popular titles such as roulette, blackjack and poker. These games, which were once exclusive to homes and land-based casinos across the world, are now accessible across a range of websites and mobile platforms.


In addition to this, they also offer an exciting and immersive gaming experience that replicates real world environments. This means that experiences such as live roulette can now be enjoyed in a realistic casino landscape that is created in the comfort of your own home, while the fast pace and quality of dealer interaction also adds to the sense of authenticity.

3 Interesting Facts about Energy Efficient and Sustainable Living

While everyone understands the importance of energy efficient living and sustainability, there is less knowledge surrounding the practical application of existing measures. This is a huge issue, as it creates a knowledge gap that is extremely difficult to bridge with dedicated advice. In fact, there are a number of surprising facts and facets about energy efficient living, each of which will help you to take a small but actionable step towards modifying your property for the better.


With this in mind, let’s take a look at three of these facts and how they should influence your plans.


Solar Power will Generate Higher Savings as Electricity Prices Rise


image03


If you do have the necessary money to invest in solar power and similar measures, you can benefit from huge long-term savings. What you may not know is that there are many variables that effect the ROI of solar power, although the outlook for the next fifteen years in extremely favourable. This is because your savings will increase as electricity prices rise, and tariffs are set to increase by a yearly average of 2.6% between now and 2030. This makes a compelling argument for solar power especially if you have the money to invest in this.


Thermally Lined Curtains Reduce Energy Loss through Windows


image00


Like solar power, double glazing is something that may remain beyond the reach of some household budgets. There is a lower cost alternative that can help to eliminate your emissions and help to maintain a warmer home during the winter months, however, as using thermally lined curtains can help reduce the heat and energy lost from your windows. This is an interesting point to note, as these products can be purchased cheaply for home and décor stores and are extremely easy to install.


Laptops are 85% more Energy Efficient than Desktop Computers


image01


This is a staggering statistic, and one that is likely to surprise even knowledgeable Eco-experts. The fact that laptops are 85% more energy efficient than desktops translates into an estimated saving of £17 per year, although this could be higher depending on your level of usage. By switching these devices and following a similar suit with other gadgets and electrical appliances, you can save huge amounts of your hard-earned money over the course of the typical year.

Top 18 Houseplants For Purifying The Air You Breathe, According To NASA

Houseplants do wonders for a house: they breathe new life to a room, add a bright pop of color, and purify the air. Not all plants are equally effective, however, when it comes to filtering harmful air-borne toxins and pollutants.


NASA conducted a Clean Air Study to identify the best air-filtering indoor plants, all of which commonly found at local flower shops, to help guide us in our purchasing decisions. Even better, Love The Garden created an infographic that lists 18 NASA-recommended plants for improving air quality as well as the common toxins that each plant can treat.

Circus Lion Freed From Cage Feels Earth Beneath His Paws For The First Time

Footage shared this week by the Rancho dos Gnomos Santuário in Brazil shows the thrilling moment a lion named Will experiences, for the first time, the feeling of soil and grass beneath his feet.


Prior to being rescued and taken to the sanctuary, Will had been forced to perform with a traveling circus. For 13 long years, the lion had been confined to a cramped cage and denied any semblance of a normal existence. Within seconds of his release, Will can be seen eagerly running his paws through the soft soil — tragically, a foreign material for a creature who, up until then, had known only cold metal floors.

This scene, filmed in 2006 though released this week to the public, was only the beginning. In 2011, Will passed away of old age, but not before finally learning what it meant to be a lion.


“He had five years of tranquility before he died. Here he had the opportunity to interact with other lions. He loved to lie in grass and look at the sky,” sanctuary founder Marcos Pompeo told The Dodo. “He was a very happy lion.”

Dr. Weiss had a patient who underwent past-life regression therapy. The woman recalled a life as a pioneer, who hid from Native Americans in a secret compartment with her toddler son. She claims the son had a crescent moon birthmark on his right shoulder, and she accidentally smothered him while trying to keep him quiet.


Soon, a new patient with asthma attacks came in, and he and the woman had an instant attraction. All were shocked when he revealed a crescent moon birthmark on his right shoulder.

Taranjit Singh began recounting the horrific story of his death at age 6. He remembered his old name, the village he was born in, how old he was when he died, even how much money was in his wallet at the time. Taranjit’s family were so disturbed they had to investigate.


Sure enough, they found the family of the deceased, all details panned out, and Taranjit even identified family members by name. Although Taranjit could barely write, he was able to perfectly match handwriting with that of the dead boy.

American woman TE was raised in Philadelphia by immigrants who spoke a mix of Polish, Yiddish, and Russian. However, during regression therapy, TE claimed to be Jensen Jacoby, a male Swedish peasant. She could answer questions in Swedish, and even passed polygraph and word association tests in Swedish.


All family and friends questioned claimed she had no training with the language. She even used over 60 Swedish words in conversation not used by the therapist. Furthermore, her accent was praised as spot-on, even mixed with old Norwegian.

Kevin Christenson died in 1979 from metastatic cancer. It was found after he broke his leg and suffered many ailments, including a tumor which caused his eye to protrude and a lump above his right ear.


Eventually, Kevin’s mother remarried and had another son, Patrick. He was born with a birthmark in the same spot Kevin’s IV entered. He had a lump above his right ear. He even began limping as he learned to walk. Furthermore, he questioned his mother about the orange and brown house, where she lived with Kevin before divorcing her first husband.

Doreen had a son with a condition eerily similar to that which caused the death of her father. It got worse when her son began telling her that When I was your daddy, you were bad a lot and I never spanked you! But her suspicions were confirmed when he brought up her old cat and called him Boss. Her son was born long after she had the cat, whose name was Boston.


Only her father called him Boss. The boy insisted he was born the Tuesday Doreen’s father died, after being told he could come back.

Ma Win Tar recounted a past life as a Japanese soldier, claiming she was captured by her own villagers and burned alive while tied to a tree. While still young, she preferred her hair short and liked to dress as a boy, which her family forbade. She also refused to eat traditional dishes, and would slap the faces of those she didn’t like – a habit invading Japanese practiced on local villagers. Ma Win Tar even resisted Buddhism and declared herself a foreigner. Strangest of all, she had been born with strange constriction rings on several of her fingers and wrists… which her family always thought looked like rope marks.

Canadian Wins $7.5 Million At Online Casino

Yet another Canadian online casino player has been graced with a seven figure jackpot win. Could the next big winner be you?


The Canadian market has so many choices for online gambling that sometimes choosing where to put down your dollar can be difficult but those who find the right place and time are walking away millions of dollars richer. We have a new player from this country who has taken $7.5M away from their online slot experience.


This most recent big win came from Crazy Vegas, one of many sites partnered with the software developing giant Microgaming. Their variety and quality of product makes them a true game changer when players are looking for a place to spend their free time taking some risks and their progressive prize pools seem second to none. This hit specifically came from Mega Moolah where there are two jackpots, the Mega and Major, waiting for players to hit the right combination of symbols.


This isn’t the first time that this particular slot has made Canadian players very happy with wins in the multiple millions. In 2014 along there were two, on June 12 and November 9, who won over $3.9M and nearly $3.4M respectively, and were invited to take a trip around the world to have dinner in Australia where their winning cheques were signed over. With this fantastic game’s big prizes reseeded and built up to nearly $5M already, the reels are ready and waiting for the next big spin. Could that winner be you?


These winning players weren’t doing anything out of the ordinary on those days, making their wins from browser and mobile apps a complete surprise, in some cases coming from only a few spins after starting their session. Now there are rumours that there will be another big hit from the game as each jackpot’s frequency has been tracked and has been deemed ready to pop.


The bigger of the two prizes, the Mega, is approaching $5M, a truly life changing amount sure to make anyone happy for their online win. The second from largest, the Major, was recently won so it is considerably smaller at just over $42,000 which is still enough to make someone very happy with a brand new car or a fantastic shopping spree. For those who would prefer a different theme from the African savannah, there are four spin offs that feed into and pay out from the same pool.


Make your way over to the best place to see the latest online casino news, keep track of the status of potential winning opportunities and learn about free slots in Canada – grizzlygambling.com.

What the Night Sky Would Look Like with No Light Pollution

“Skyglow” is a term used to describe the brightness of the night sky in a built-up area as a result of light pollution. In the video above, timelapse artists Gavin Heffernan and Harun Mehmedinovic combine timelapse astrophotography—filmed at some of the darkest skies in North America&mdas;and splice the footage with night timelapses of major urban centers like Los Angeles. The experimental videos show what the night sky would look like if there was no light pollution.


The video is part of the Skyglow Project which also includes a book of astrophotography and an entire series of timelapse videos. The artists recently launched the project on Kickstarter and hope to examine the increasing impact of light pollution on our fragile environment.

The Rugrats Go Wild Movie: What You Need To Know

Do you love The Wild Thornberrys or The Rugrats? If so, you will love the movie Rugrats Go Wild.


In this cinema spectacular the characters from both popular Nickelodeons cartoons meet for the very first time. It starts out with the families of The Rugrats going on vacation on what they believe to be a luxury cruise. Unfortunately for them, this idea is a bit of wishful thinking and we soon find out that Tommy’s father, Stu Pickles, has rented a small, rinky dink fishing boat for the families to sail the Seven Seas.


As you can see, things don’t get out to a good start, which leaves everyone involved unhappy. However, things gets worse when a storm tosses the small boat around and the gang ends up marooned on a small island with seemingly no way home.


They are completely unaware that the Thornberrys have set up camp on the other side of the island so that they can capture rare footage of a leopard for their TV show. Tommy Pickles, who is a fan of Nigel Thornberry’s show, knows that they are on the island and he leads the babies on a trek to look for his hero. Unfortunately, the leopard spots them and has every intention of making the babies into his dinner.


Fans of these two shows must see this film. Kids will love seeing the characters meet for the first time. But, that’s not all that these kid-friendly movie has to offer. For example, world famous action hero Bruce Willis joins the cast as the voice of Spike, Tommy’s dumb but loveable dog. As an added treat, Willis sings a couple of songs in the film; he even does a duet with the leopard.


The rest of the songs in the movie are just as delightful. Angelica, Tommy’s manipulative older cousin does an entertaining song about being a princess as well as a duet with Debbie Thornberry. One of the other highlights, one that adults are sure to appreciate is, famous rock group Aerosmith singing Lizard Love as the credits roll. Bet you never thought that you would hear the likes of Steve Tyler singing in such a kid friendly move.


Similarly to the other Rugrats movies, The Rugrats Go Wild is inundated with references to other popular movies. For instance, there are jokes relation to Lord of the Flies, Star Wars, Titanic, Jaws, and a whole lot more.


All in all, this movie is excellent entertainment for kids; with lots of fart, poop, and booger jokes to keep them laughing throughout the entire movie. The only thing that adults may have to worry about are their kids imitating these gross gags when the movie is over. Still, if you are looking for a good movie that will be sure to entertain your children, the Rugrats Go Wild is an excellent choice. In other words, your kids will Go Wild for this movie.

Hottest And Coldest Places On Earth

If you’re on the hunt for a holiday hot spot or somewhere really cool to visit you’ll find plenty to inspire you!


Up and down the country the signs that summer is approaching are everywhere to see: the sun is lingering longer and longer into the night sky, bartenders are serving up Pimm’s by the jug, and people are finally daring to leave their homes without their coats. But however high the thermometers climb this year, the temperatures will pale in comparison to some of the hottest places on earth – from Death Valley, California to the Flaming Mountains of Xinjiang, China there are many destinations that can be described as simply scorching.


If the thought of that is making you sweat, why not take comfort in the knowledge that however cold it might get in the depths of winter, at least you don’t live in Verkhoyansk or Ulaanbaatar, where the freezing point is considered tropical?

The best UK reality TV shows of all time

Reality TV shows… some would consider them to be the worst thing you could possibly spend your time watching, while others live their lives watching every show that the likes of TLC put out and love every second of it. We thought we would have a quick look at what we think are some of the best reality shows to come out of the UK:


The X Factor


_77284611_77284603


British singing talent show ‘The X Factor’ began back in 2004 and has become one of the biggest and most successful talent-based reality TV shows in history. The brain child of music mogul Simon Cowell ‘The X Factor’ features a panel of judges whom together help whittle down hundreds of potential contestants who are then each categorised based on their age, sex and if they’re a group or a solo artist. The format helped open the doors to more potential applicants than the highly successful ‘Pop Idol’ series it followed which was ended abruptly after Idol judge Cowell decided to leave the show and create ‘The X Factor’. At its peak (series 6) the show was pulling in nearly 20 million viewers.


Britain’s Got Talent


BGT_1


In 2007 Simon Cowell once more gave his magical touch to British television talent show competition ‘Britain’s Got Talent’. Working in a similar judging format to that of ‘The X Factor’ the show gave the stage to those with a wide range of entertaining talents in order to win a place to perform in front of the royal family at the Royal Variety Performance. There has been a wide range of winners of the series over the years including an opera singer, gymnasts, shadow performers and even a dancing dog.


I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!


IAC_M01_Celebs_900x506


If you couldn’t get enough of Geordie double act Ant and Dec and their backstage antics over on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ ITV ensured you’d still get your fill of the cheeky duo each night hosting celebrity jungle reality show ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ The show launched on our screens in 2002 and featured a number of arguable “celebrities” spending a few weeks in jungle conditions over in Australia. The series is most famous for its challenging Bush Tucker trials in which the participating celebs would compete in games in order to win tokens in exchange for meals for the rest of the camp. This often includes a nauseating game whereby the contestant would have to eat things like kangaroo testicles and raw fish eyes. The popular franchise has spun off a slot game at 32red casino and even a new themed maze at Thorpe Park.


Big Brother


Big-Brother-9-UK-Housemates-big-brother-uk-1483720-1836-1297


The British version of the popular reality show ‘Big Brother’ first aired in the UK back in 1997. It featured a group of strangers placed in an isolated house forced to live together as housemates on camera 24 hours a day. They are given tasks and challenges to carry out and each week are asked to nominate other housemates for potential eviction. As time goes on obviously human nature begins to take over and relationships begin to fray and the more interesting psychological aspects of being cut off from the outside world begin to show themselves. It’s undergone a number of changes and developments over the years to keep things fresh for the audience however its viewing figures struggle to get close to what it was receiving in its first few years on air.



The best UK reality TV shows of all time
