Dot Dot Loans provides simple, flexible short-term loans of between £100 and £1250 that can be repaid in instalments over 3 to 12 months.
Dot Dot Loans is owned by Morses Club – one of the UK’s largest home-collected loan companies, that’s been around for over 130 years. Dot Dot Loans offers a fully-online service, and strives to be simple, fast and fair. You don’t necessarily need a perfect credit score to get a Dot Dot loan, but much like any other responsible short-term lender, your application will be subject to credit and affordability checks.
Warning: Late repayment can cause you serious money problems. For help, go to moneyadviceservice.org.uk.
Please note: High cost short term credit is unsuitable to support sustained borrowing over long periods and would be expensive as a means of longer term borrowing.
Key features of a Dot Dot loan
Unlike a traditional “payday” loan, which you’d pay back in one lump sum on your payday, a Dot Dot loan allows borrowers to spread repayment over a number of months. This makes for smaller, more manageable monthly repayments, but a more expensive loan overall.
- New customers can borrow £100-£600. The amount you borrow will depend on your requirements, credit rating and affordability. Existing customers can apply for higher value loans of up to £1250.
- Borrow over 3, 6 or 9 months. Existing customers can apply for longer loans of up to 12 months.
- Fixed, high rates. Fixed rates mean that you’ll know in advance exactly how much your loan will cost you, but realistically this is an extremely expensive way to borrow money.
- Quick quote. Dot Dot Loans will give you an initial decision in just a few minutes, telling you exactly what you will have to repay in total over the term you have requested.
- Fast access to funds. If you apply between 8:30am and 4:30pm, Dot Dot Loans aims to have the money in your bank account within an hour.
- Flexible repayment dates. Pay back your loan along with the accrued interest in monthly instalments to suit you, helping you to budget your outgoings.
How do Dot Dot loans hold up against the competition?
If you’ve been on the Dot Dot loans site and have estimated the cost of a loan, you’re probably going to want to shop around to see if you’re getting a good deal. You can use the table below to estimate the cost of the loan that you have in mind. We compare loans from a range of popular short-term lenders. Remember that each lender sets its own min/max loan amounts and terms, and its own eligibility requirements.
You should always refer to your loan agreement for exact repayment amounts as they may vary from our results.

Is high-cost, short-term borrowing a good idea?
Short-term loans offer a quick solution when you get into difficulty with your finances, but they are a very expensive method of borrowing. They should therefore only be considered as a last resort. Short-term loans are unlikely to solve your money problems in the long term, and are not a good idea for borrowing over longer periods, or for sustained borrowing.
Before you apply for a short-term loan, make sure you have considered other options carefully. Is the expenditure that you’re planning absolutely essential? If you can defer a purchase then you could save yourself money in the long run. If you are struggling to pay a bill, then try talking to your electricity, gas, phone or water provider to see if you can work out a payment plan. Read more about alternatives to payday loans at moneyadviceservice.org.uk.
How does it work?
- Decide on the size of the loan you require and the number of instalments you wish to pay the money back in.
- Complete the simple application for, providing your personal, contact, employment and financial details.
- Dot Dot Loans will perform a credit check to determine if you are eligible for a loan and the size of that loan.
- Once approved, the money is usually credited to your bank account within an hour as long as you are applying within office hours.
- Dot Dot Loans uses a Continuous Payment Authority (CPA) to collect your repayments on the monthly instalment dates you have chosen.
What is a Continuous Payment Authority (CPA)?With a CPA you give a company permission to withdraw money from your account on a regular basis.
CPAs differ from a direct debit because they give the company being paid the ability to withdraw money from your account whenever they wish, and to take payments of different amounts without consulting you. Most payday/short-term lenders will use a CPA to collect your repayments. You can cancel this at any point by either consulting with your loan provider or your bank.
What are the eligibility requirements?
Make sure you meet the following criteria before applying for a Dot Dot loan:
- Over 18
- UK resident
- Minimum income of £14,400 per year
- Not self-employed
- Paid monthly
- Hold a valid email address and mobile phone number
- Able to provide your home address information for the last 3 years
- Able to provide your debit card and bank account information
Did you know?In 2015 the Financial Conduct authority (FCA) capped interest and fees on all high-cost short-term credit loans at 0.8% per day.
They additionally capped all default charges at £15 and the total cost (interest, fees) of loans at 100% of the original sum. This means you’ll never have to pay more than double the amount borrowed.

By David Spereall, local democracy reporter
Leeds City Council says its investigation into claims Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) broke strict night flight rules remains “ongoing”.
The airport is being probed over suggestions it ran around 600 more night-time flights than it was allowed over the course of last summer.
Campaigners Group for Action on Leeds Bradford Airport (GALBA), who made the allegations against the airport last October, have warned of “another year of night flight misery”, if the council does not deliver its findings soon.
It’s understood that the local authority is unlikely to finish the investigation for another several weeks at least.
In a letter to the West Leeds Dispatch last week, GALBA said: “The 2022 summer season is still very fresh in the memory – a season of excessive aircraft noise, both late at night and early in the morning.
“‘Excessive’ is the appropriate word. GALBA monitored night flights and found that the official limit, of almost 3,000 flights, had been exceeded by more than 600 flights.”
“Night flights are strictly limited by a planning condition imposed by Leeds City Council. This is for good reasons – noise from night flights is a proven cause of mental and physical health problems, and every additional flight means more air pollution and more damage to our climate.”
Victoria Smith, who lives under the flight path in Kirkstall, said: “Last summer was a nightmare for me, with incredibly loud noise from flights starting at 6am and going on till 3 or 4 the following morning.
“I don’t begrudge anyone their annual holiday but there has to be a limit on the amount of flying at night and the airport has to stick to those limits. They didn’t and no-one is doing anything about it. Why isn’t Leeds City Council enforcing its own rules? They have a responsibility to their citizens but they’re just sitting on their hands and now we face the prospect of another sleepless summer.”
GALBA was set up by local residents in 2019 to fight the airport’s expansion plans, on environmental grounds.
Those plans were later abandoned, but the group continues to oppose the site’s ambitions to run more flights.
When the flight breach claims first emerged in October, Leeds Bradford Airport said it took its responsibilities “seriously” and that it would continue to report on them in an “open and transparent way”.
In its letter last week, GALBA said it was “still waiting for a response” from the council, five months after it made the allegations.
It added: “In the meantime, LBA has published its 2023 schedule. Does LBA intend to breach the limit again? If the council inaction continues, we face the prospect of another year of night flight misery.”
A spokesperson for Leeds City Council said: “Our analysis of the 2022 night flight data for Leeds Bradford Airport remains ongoing.
“As this is a live investigation, consistent with our protocols, it would not be appropriate for the council to comment further at this stage. Once the investigation is completed, the results will be communicated as appropriate.”
Anyone who lives within 10 miles of an airport will have some impact on noise levels, but I don’t think it is any louder than motor bikes and cars with loud exhaust noise passing my home day and night. There are too many moaners and groaners in Leeds. The airport can’t move, but people can.
I don’t live under the flighpath but I am near the airport, and it was particularly noisy over last summer. The rules are in place for a reason and many people saw them as some re-assurance when they bought their houses, it is wrong that the airport can just ignore them, so I welcomed this investigation. I don’t know why it is taking so long though, maybe some council members have a financial interest in the airport’s operations?

I got an iPhone this past month, and I’ve been slowly digging into the vast library or apps that the phone offers. A lot of things have grabbed my attention, but nothing perhaps so much as Historypin. From Wikipedia:
Historypin is an online, user-generated archive of historical photos and personal recollections. Users are able to use the location and date of an image to ‘pin’ it to Google Maps Where Google Street View is available, users can overlay the historical photograph and compare it with the contemporary location.
When I use Historypin, all that I can think about is how libraries should be jumping all over this and using it to create a unique glimpse into their community. I’ve talked before about how I believe the path forward for public libraries is in encouraging our communities to create unique content (1, 2, and 3) and here is a tool that allows us to do this.
Here’s what I’m imagining from my point of view as a teen librarian: what if I got a handful of teens interested in photography, a few digital cameras or iPod touches, and we had a program where we headed out into the city for a half hour taking pictures. We could then come back into the library and, using the library’s wifi and the Historypin app, upload the photos and catalog our city at that moment in time. What’s even better is that Historypin encourages users to snap pictures of old photographs and upload them to Historypine (see the above image for an example). Say that your library has an extensive local history collection (sort of like the one at my library). Wouldn’t it be great to mobilize some volunteers to digitize photos and upload them to Historypin? The library could even partner with local tourism organizations to give people with mobile phones a walking history tour of the city.
(many thanks to Nate Hill for turning me onto this awesome site)

Genes that slow ageing process 'discovered'
British scientists have taken a major step forward towards finding the key to elixir of youth by discovering key genes which slow the ageing process.world Updated: May 26, 2009 16:12 IST
British scientists have taken a major step forward towards finding the key to elixir of youth by discovering key genes which slow the ageing process.
A team at University College London has pinpointed the genetic mutations, a key finding it claims could lead to fresh hope for people suffering from illnesses, ranging from heart disease to Alzheimer's.
In their study, the scientists have found that the mutations in genes that encode the protein components of the insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 signalling pathways extend the lifespan of animals like worms, flies and mice.
And, according to them, the genetic variants for these genes in humans have proved to be associated with lifespan. In fact, in mammals, insulin regulates blood sugar levels as well as metabolism in response to food intake, while the related Igf1 regulates growth.
Lead researcher Professor Linda Partridge said that tackling the very causes of ageing -- rather than treating the symptoms "piecemeal" -- offers the best prospects for dealing with the diseases.
She was quoted by 'The Daily Telegraph' as saying, "By tacking the causes of ageing we could treat or at least delay, a broad spectrum of conditions simultaneously. This research means a new approach to treatment of age-related conditions.
"The major burden of ill health is in older section of the population. The new discoveries about ageing have raised the prospect of increasing the number of years that people enjoy in good health, with broad-spectrum preventive medicines for the diseases of ageing."

For a fair while in my adult life I wondered what these “mimosas” that I kept hearing about – usually in relation to American brunches – were. It was only a year or two ago that I discovered it was nothing more than ordinary Buck’s Fizz – the official drink of Christmas morning here in the UK. I think I’ve decided to use the terms seasonally – Mimosa during warmer months, Buck’s Fizz when it’s colder. Either way, the deliciously refreshing mixture of sweet oranges and sparkling wine is a winning combination, and I one that I thought deserved to be spread a little further.
The cake itself here is a Greek/Middle-Eastern inspired affair – a single layer yoghurt based cake that has syrup poured all over it. The sponge absorbs the syrup, making it a silky, rich, moist delight. In this particular case – the cake is flavoured with juice and zest, the syrup made with sparkling wine and orange peel, and then the whole thing is iced with sparkling wine icing. Each mouthful of this thing is a pure delight, and I cannot stress enough how much you need to make it.
Ingredients – for one 23cm cake
For the sponge
- 3 eggs
- 220g caster sugar
- 2 oranges
- 300g self raising flour or 300g plain flour + 3/4tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 280g Greek Yoghurt
- 125ml oil (flavourless, e.g. sunflower/vegetable/rapeseed)
For the syrup and icing
- 140g Caster Sugar
- 100ml Sparkling wine
- 1 orange
- 50g icing sugar
- A few tsp sparkling wine
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Line the base of a 23cm cake tin with baking parchment and grease the sides and parchment with a little butter or oil.
- Using an electric mixer/whisk, beat together the eggs and sugar for a few minutes until creamy. Add the zest and juice of 2 oranges and beat for a minute or two more.
- Whisk in the flour, oil and yoghurt until smooth and no lumps of flour remain.
- Pour into the cake tin and bake. Check at 40 minutes by inserting a skewer into the centre. If it comes out clean it is ready. If not, continue to bake and check at 5 minute intervals.
- While it bakes it is time to make the syrup and icing. For the syrup, pour the caster sugar and sparkling wine into a small saucepan and gently heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Use a potato peeler to peel a few pieces off of an orange and slice into thin strips, adding them to the pan. Heat at a very gentle simmer for 5-10 minutes, then allow to cool.
- When the cake is ready, remove from the tin and parchment, then place on a large plate. Poke 20-30 holes in the top of the cake with a skewer, then gently pour over the syrup – leave the orange peel strips in the pan. Don’t be alarmed if it seems like there’s too much and it’s pooling around the bottom – it will soon be soaked up as the cake cools.
- When the cake has cooled thoroughly, combine the icing sugar and a spoonful of sparkling wine at a time until you have a sufficiently thick yet liquid icing. Pour the onto the centre of the top and use the back of a spoon to encourage even coverage, then careful place a mound of the orange peel strips onto the centre.

Norwich and New London marked Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday on Monday in different ways, with New London religious leaders choosing to hold an online event, while Norwich participants wore winter coats, scarves, hats and masks, for a face-warm like COVID-19 protection.
Cold winds and rain blew from Norwich Harbor into the Market Street garage, as about 50 people gathered to unveil the region’s first full-fledged public art mural for racial justice education on Monday, as speakers emphasized the need to stand up for the rights depicted in the artwork.
The cold didn’t stop the participants from continuing to admire the 142-foot mural painted on the side of the city’s owned garage and pointing to their favorite photos. The work presents portraits of international, national and local figures who have played key historical roles in the advancement of human rights.
The wall includes Cato Meade, the first African American to join the American side in the Revolutionary War. Samuel Ashbow, the first Native American to die on the American side in the Revolution; David Ruggles of Norwich, a prominent abolitionist who helped enslaved people be freed; Frederick Douglass, an abolitionist; James Lindsey Smith, a fugitive enslaved man who settled in Norwich as a successful businessman, and Aaron Dwight Stevens, an abolitionist from Norwich who joined John Brown’s failed raid on Harper Ferry, Virginia, were hanged.
Also shown on the mural is the Connecticut Civil War Twenty-Ninth Color Regiment; Hiram “Harry” Bingham IV of Salem, who helped about 2,500 Jews flee France during World War II; Rabbi Marshall T. Meyer, raised in Norwich, international human rights activist in Argentina from 1958 to 1984; Virginia Christian, the first African American and woman elected to Norwich City Council in 1965, and Jaswant Singh Khalra, Sikh human rights activist from 1952 to 1995.
The work is complemented by emblems of Norwich Police and Fire Departments, Norwich utilities, American flags, and scales of justice.
Reverend David Judd founded Public Art for Racial Justice Education and it quickly expanded to include projects in several cities and towns in southeastern Connecticut, with dozens of volunteers.
Rabbi Julius Rabinovich, a representative of the Norwich-area Clergymen’s Association, told attendees how art through the centuries has helped people understand messages from the Bible and other religions. Norwich, he said, is now adding to the group.
“Art can be an inspiration,” Rabinovich said. “It can give voice to what cannot be expressed in words. A wonderful thing about art is that it is accessible regardless of age, ability and background. This prayer about to be revealed seeks to address the fundamental issues of racial injustice in our beloved community, as well as the many Related stories that cannot be separated from him.
Artist Imeda Roller said the community gathered this fall to paint parts of the mural inside that will be erected once the weather is warm enough. She described how participants would “run to the wall” once the temperature rose above 45 degrees, then return indoors when it got colder to work more, to make sure they finished in time for Monday’s unveiling.
People who walked past the mural on Monday chanted words of encouragement and “Good job!”
After the unveiling, about 35 people continued to visit Norwich City Hall for opening remarks before walking the streets of downtown to the Evans Memorial AME Zion Church for the in-house programme.
Sheila Hayes, president of the NAACP in Norwich, said she and co-event organizer, Reverend Gregory Perry, monitored weather forecasts and COVID-19 trends to determine if the in-person event could go ahead as planned. Hayes reminded participants that the Freedom Marches in recent decades have defied sub-zero temperatures, 100-degree weather, and many other physical obstacles to get their message across.
And they didn’t have all the nice things and warm clothes that we have today,” Hayes said.
There was no parade in New London again this year, but Shiloh Baptist Church hosted a special service for Martin Luther King, Jr.
“Although this service is hypothetical, it is still meaningful, powerful, and moving as we remember and remember what has been done in his service to his church, his service to society, and his service to humanity in general,” said Bishop Benjamin K. Watts, Senior Reverend at Shiloh.
The service included a fiery sermon by Reverend Dr. Franklin Richardson, a pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon New York, and Reverend Michael Cagle, President of the Ministerial Alliance for Southeast Connecticut and member of the Walls Clarke Temple AME Zion Church, Reverend. Sandra R. Adams of Holiness Baptist Church at Mount Moriah Fire in New London and Pierce Timmons, President of the Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Trust.
Timmons said that after King was murdered in 1968, students from a local New London high school walked out of the school and into City Hall.
“Many think all hope is gone. Where do we go from there? Hope came from this tragedy,” Timmons said.
After King’s assassination, Dr. William Waller and his wife, Eunice Waller of New London, offered a $100 scholarship to an African American student who represented Dr. King’s ideals.
“That small gesture prompted other community leaders … to start a permanent grant fund trust,” Timmons said.
Since then, the fund has offered 190 scholarships and has grown from a single $100 scholarship to $20,000 over four years. Last year, thirteen scholarships worth $20,000 were awarded to African-American students.
New London Mayor Michael Passero also gave a message that he described as “a difficult year of political and social division in our country”. He spoke about the country’s racial divisions and the violent attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
“Dr. King’s Doctrine of Nonviolence calls us to redouble our efforts to strengthen the institutions of our democracy. This work requires us to continue to identify and cleanse this institution of systemic and institutional racism,” said Passero.
On Monday evening, the Garde Center for the Arts hosted a free performance, “The Martin Luther King Day Healing Concert,” presented by the New London Community Orchestra.
The presentation consists of three parts: works by historical and contemporary black authors; Performance by jazz musicians. And a civil rights anthem featuring singers. The night was scheduled to end with “We Shall Overcome” and “Amazing Grace.”

For many people, Christmas will involve tucking into a grand feast to celebrate the big day. Lots of Britons will gather the family for Christmas dinner which can mean the host is left with a huge shopping list. Morrisons has been revealed as the cheapest supermarket for Christmas dinner this year, according to new research.
A study carried out by online price tracking website, Alertr.co.uk, reviewed prices of some of the biggest supermarkets.
They revealed the average Briton will celebrate Christmas Day as a group of eight which means a lot of food needs to be bought.
Some people will leave this all up to the host whereas others will choose to split the costs.
No matter what celebrators do it, the price of Christmas dinner and all the trimmings greatly varies.
Christmas dinner 2019: The cheapest Christmas dinner has been revealed as Morrisons
Cheapest Christmas dinner
1. Morrisons - £52.75
2. Asda - £56.61
3. Iceland - £57.16
4. Sainsbury’s - £64.15
5. Tesco - £65.86
6. Ocado - £85.30
7. Waitrose - £88.50
The study picked 18 of the most popular Christmas dinner items and tracked them like for like across the seven supermarkets.
Offering the cheapest spread was Morrisons which was closely followed by Asda and Iceland.
On the other end of the scale, Ocado and Waitrose were the most expensive at over £30 more than Morrisons.
With different deals available in various stores, shoppers could save even more money by shopping across a selection of the supermarkets.
Despite being the priciest all in, Waitrose came out as the cheapest place to buy gammon, at £11.88, and beef joint, £8.59.
Morrisons was the priciest place to buy yorkshire puddings, at £1.50, and smoked gammon, £13.50.
However, cheap deals on the gravy, stuffing, turkey crown and pigs in blanket drove down the price of the basket.
Any Barr, co-founder of Alertr.co.uk said: “It is easy to overspend at Christmas, especially when it comes to the food as you want to make sure there is enough to go around.
“This research will help people when choosing the best supermarket to go to and hopefully give them a rough guide on what they need to spend.
“If it works out more than you hope, you can always get the rest of your friends or family to chip in and help out.”
The research revealed the average cost of a Christmas dinner, but hosts could find themselves spending extra if they have more people to cater for.

When playing online casinos, casino bonuses are among the things they are looking for. One of the best online casino bonuses today is the casino bonus 200. You will learn about this later on. But for now, let us go bust the most common myths about online casinos.
Myths That Go Around Online Casinos
Despite the challenges, including the ongoing battle for regulation, these online casinos have remained highly popular for everybody worldwide looking for thrills. And for good reasons – online casinos are safe, are convenient, and offer players features they cannot find from land-based casinos. You can play right from the convenience and comfort of your own residence and home.
In spite of all these, many people (those who have not tried online casinos yet, mostly) still believe that the games are not fair or safe because of the different myths that surround online casinos. So here we are, helping enlighten you further if you are trying to play the game for the first time. We are going to bust the most common myths that go around online casinos. Fasten your seatbelts.
Myth Number One: Online Casino Games Are Rigged
It is among the most prevalent complaints about Internet casinos. Since players are not in the physical location of the machines, many believe that the Internet casino games are rigged in favor of the house. This is far from the truth. The fact is, online games provide a game history that would allow those who want to run results through a given algorithm to see if there are any discrepancies from the game odds.
It would also not be in the best interest of a casino operator to rig the games in their favor, or else they will appear bad in front of the public. Furthermore, casino software suppliers invest thousands of dollars in having their games audited for reliability and accuracy, and the public can see the audit results.
To conclude, online casino games are never rigged. But, players are more likely to play many more hands in a similar amount of time as in a live session, so they might see their bankroll dip faster. As a result, a cause for the emergence of this myth.
Myth Number Two: Online Casinos Produce More Underage Gamblers
Interestingly enough, among the most significant concerns that many watchdog institutions had when Internet casino sites were launched was controlling underage gambling. Because of the openness of online casinos, almost everyone can sign up to play, even minor-aged people.
But then again, this is absolutely a myth. First, many Internet casinos require players to use credit cards or other relevant means to get started depositing into their accounts. Minors are not yet at the legal age to own credit cards. Moreover, IDs need to be verified to allow players to make a deposit. How about minors stealing their parents’ credit cards? While this could be possible, it is rare these days. Still, the verification process is very meticulous.
Myth Number Three: You Can Card Count Playing Online Games
This one is hilarious. Card counting refers to the way players may resort to it if they want to gain an advantage playing the casino. However, right here, we will tell you that casinos take measures to prevent this from happening. The casino also reserves the right to ban players from their platform.
Additionally, Internet casino operators never have to worry about card counting because it is virtually impossible. For example, most blackjack casino games utilize a shoe with six or eight decks in it. In a land-based casino, the shoe is cut close to in half. So, even if the player is counting the cards, they will never reach the end of the shoe and take advantage of it. In an online casino, the cards are shuffled. All eight decks. Every hand, because computers can do this instantly. As a result, every hand a player plays is essentially the first hand of the shoe – every single hand.
Myth Number Four: You Will Not Get Paid If You Are a Winner
Halloween is almost here. It is easy to be spooked if you hear a story of a player who did not get their prizes after winning the games. These only happen when players, by any chance, play in a rogue casino operator. With the number of players who are into online casinos worldwide nowadays, the number of those cheated out of their cash is a very tiny percentage.
While it is true that a casino does everything they can to keep your money in the account, such as implementing long pending periods, having documents that need to be scanned, identity confirmation, and much more, if you want the money you have won, you will get it. However, it is always suggested that you only leave a balance on your account; you are okay to lose if something happens to shut down the casino.
Myth Number Five: The Games Freeze If You Are Winning Too Much
Let us all admit it. There are online casino players who are just great at the game or have been playing online casinos for several years that they win too much. We also have heard laughable stories of operators freezing the games if a player wins too much. Why is this highly unlikely? First of all, if a player is winning in an Internet casino, the casino would want you to play more hands because, in this way, the house also wins. Having said this, why would they slow down the games?
Suppose there are indeed cases involving casinos freezing amidst hands. In that case, this is usually due to communication breaking down between the casino servers and the players’ devices, not because they do not want players to win. Sometimes, it could be as trivial as a slow Internet connection. There is no need to worry if any of these happen. When you restart the software, the hand will pick it up where you left off.
Myth Number Six: It is Impossible To Win With An Online Casino Bonus
Almost every casino website offers attractive bonuses and promotions for new and loyal players. However, some believe it is impossible to win lots of prizes with such bonuses. This is not true. The fact remains that you can actually win big when playing with these bonus offers.
But why do some players think they will not win with the bonuses? Probably because they do not pay close attention to the terms and conditions associated with the offers. This is important, especially on the clauses that speak about the wagering requirements. It refers to the number of times a player is required to play with the bonus money before withdrawing their winnings. Once you read these terms and conditions, you will realize these bonuses can strategically be used to score big wins.
The Casino Bonus 200
Speaking of bonuses, among today’s most widely offered welcome bonuses is the 100 percent bonus granted on the initial deposit. However, players think this bonus is not enough, so they look for a 200 percent bonus that doubles their first deposit and triples it immediately. This does not only increase their playing time but also their winning chances. For example, if a player deposits €100, they can play directly with €300 on a bonus offer of 200 percent. Sounds fantastic, isn’t it? Among the best online casinos with these types of bonuses are Hotline Casino, Playouwin, and Wintika, among many others.

Chicken shack terrorist charged with using weapon of mass destruction while investigators probe to see if he got bomb training during 'radicalization' trip to Pakistan
- Investigators believe the powerful bomb is evidence that Ahmad Rahami may have had terrorist training while abroad
- Ahmad Rahami was pictured in Pakistan with his brother, Mohammad Khan Rahami, as the pair cooked kebobs
- The 2013 trip was one of a series of lengthy visits he made to the country and to Afghanistan which are now under FBI scrutiny
- It is unclear exactly where picture was taken but he is known to have spent time in Quetta, a hotbed of fundamentalism
- His brother and sister have both posted what appear to be pro-jihadi material, with his sister Aziza posting: 'No to democracy.'
- Married sister, who has lived in Quetta, also posted video from pro-ISIS website showing destruction of New York
- Ahmad's mother and Pakistani wife both left the country in recent weeks
Days after bombs went off in New York and New Jersey injuring around 30 people, the suspected bomber has been charged with using a weapon of mass destruction.
Ahmad Khan Rahami had already been charged with five counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and two gun charges after a shootout with police following the terror attacks over the weekend.
Today, the 28-year-old was charged with federal counts of using a weapon of mass destruction and bombing public places.
Scroll down for video
Ahmad Rahami ( left, and on his arrest mugshot for attempted murder, right) has been charged with five counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and two gun charges after he was captured in an FBI shootout following the terror attacks
Rahami was born in Afghanistan but spent most of his life in the U.S. and has since become an American citizen. A friend told reporters that he changed two years ago, after taking a trip to his native Afghanistan
The federal criminal complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, also lists charges of destruction of property by means of fire or explosive and use of a destructive device in furtherance of a crime of violence.
Police released Rahami's picture Monday morning as the main suspect behind the devastating Manhattan bombing which left 31 people injured. An unexploded device was found just a few blocks away from the blast in Chelsea.
He was also wanted for questioning in connection with the explosion in Seaside Park, New Jersey, and the foiled bombing of the Elizabeth, New Jersey train station on Sunday.
Law enforcement say it was fingerprints left behind on an unexploded pressure cooker bomb in Manhattan that led them to Rahami, who wasn't on any terror watch lists.
Investigators found the prints, duct tape and a cell phone triggering device, which they traced to Rahami, according to the complaint.
Detectives are now investigating if the suspected bomber received terror training on his 'radicalization' trip to Pakistan.
Ahmad Rahami made multiple trips back to his homeland of Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan before planting bomb in Manhattan which injured 29 people on Saturday, police say.
Now investigators believe that during one of those trips, the 28-year-old may have received instructions on bomb making from a terrorist group.
The federal criminal complaint details the types of bombs used in the New York and New Jersey attacks.
Ji-fati: Tubby 'terrorist' Ahmad Khan Rahami and his brother Mohammad Khan Rahami are seen cooking during time spent in Pakistan
Above is the second pressure cooker bomb found in Chelsea that never detonated. Investigators believe the powerful device shows that Rahami had terror training
The first Manhattan bomb, which injured 29 people, also destroyed the New York dumpster. Above, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (right) and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (second right) survey the scene on Sunday
The New York explosive devices contained aluminum powder, ammonium nitrate and HMTD. In comparison, the Boston bombs - which also used pressure cookers filled with shrapnel - contained black powder extracted from fireworks - a much weaker form of explosive.
HMTD has been used in multiple terrorist plots against the West including the July 7, 2005, London bombings - by al Qaeda, CNN reports. Extremists had also planned to blow up ten transatlantic aircraft using HMTD in a foiled plot in 2006.
The explosive was used by several militaries following the First World War but was later abandoned for more stable chemicals as HMTD is highly reactive and is at risk of accidental detonation if exposed to high temperatures or if it's jostled.
Investigators believe that Rahami's use of the chemical indicates overseas training as there have been very few 'lone wolf' attacks have successfully used the tricky substance.
The FBI is now looking into Rahami's multiple, and lengthy stays in Afghanistan and Pakistan between 2011 and 2014 to see whether there is evidence of terror training. Authorities say Rahami had traveled to the city of Quetta - a hotbed of extremism and Taliban activity during the trip.
Pictures of one of Rahami's trips to Pakistan - where law enforcement fear he was radicalized - have now been revealed.
In one image, Ahmad Rahami squats on a small stool in front of a sizzling grill of kebobs while his brother, Mohammad Khan Rahimi, attends to the meats.
The tubby alleged bomber has a thick beard and is wearing traditional long, black robes with a skull cap and large scarf wrapped around his neck.
Family affair: Ahmad Khan Rahami posted this image on social media shortly after the picture he posted of him and his brother enjoying kebobs in Pakistan. It is associated with jihadi groups
Brother: Mohammad Khan Rahami, who at some point lived in Pakistan, posted the picture of his brother. Recent images (left) show he had begun to wear traditional clothing
Enemy of America: The suspected New York and New Jersey bomber's sister Aziza - who called herself Masood Maymunah online - posted a message from Anwar al Waklaki, the notorious American preacher who was killed by a drone strike in Yemen on the orders of President Obama
Anti-democracy: Aziza, who called herself Masood Maymunah, also posted this picture, an adaptation of an Egyptian anti-government protest symbol, which contained a pro-jihadi message calling for an Islamic caliphate
New York destroyed: One of the images in a video which was posted by the alleged terrorist's sister on social media, part of a video suggesting that the end of the world is coming
Shared: Aziza, who called herself Masood Maymunah, shared the video from this Facebook group, which has posted ISIS propaganda, including this video it posted on the 14th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks
Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, was taken into custody on Monday after a shootout with police in Linden, New Jersey. He is seen above being taken from the scene on a stretcher
The brother he is with posted the picture in April 2013, during one of Rahami's lengthy trips out of the U.S.
Days later Mohammad Khan Rahami posted a message linked to jihadi causes.
Mohammad Khan has not been arrested or charged and it is unclear if he is currently in the United States.
Social media suggests that he had split his time between New Jersey and Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The most recent posting he made suggests that, like Ahmad, he had started wearing traditional garb - something which a neighbor told DailyMail.com the brothers had started doing recently.
Mohammad Khan Rahim's Facebook account was deleted after his brother's arrest.
Ahmad is currently awaiting questioning by the FBI and facing five attempted murder charges and use of a weapon of mass destruction charges in New Jersey.
He had yet to be read his rights and had not been released from the hospital in New Jersey where he was taken after the shootout with police in Linden, New Jersey, on Monday in which he was captured.
The federal complaint says that Rahami drove into Manhattan using the Lincoln Tunnel at around 6.30pm on Friday - two hours before the bombing - and stayed in the city until 11.30pm after the attacks.
Earlier that day, the FBI say he traveled to New Jersey to plant an explosive device consisting of three pipe bombs along the route of a planned Marines 5K charity.
The race was scheduled for 9am but was delayed for unrelated causes. Only one of the three pipe bombs actually detonated at around 9.35am, according to the complaint.
Rahami is from a large family, with the father Mohammad Rahami said by a neighbor to have has many as 11 children.
One of them, daughter Zobyedh, who is a public health student at nearby Rutgers University, posted a plea for privacy on social media on Monday, after her brother's arrest.
One of their sisters, Aziza, who called herself Masood Maymunah on Facebook, also posted a pro-jihad message endorsing an 'Islamic caliphate' and saying 'no to democracy'. She was addressed online by Mohammad Khan Rahami as 'sis'.
It is an adaptation of a symbol commonly used during anti-government protests by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in 2013, known as R4BIA, but with the addition of the messages which suggest support for al-Qaeda or ISIS.
ISIS claims to be a caliphate and had just begun its rise in 2013, but it is not clear that the adapted version of the R4BIA logo is pro-ISIS. It may also be pro al Qaeda.
Maymunah appears to have lived in Quetta, Pakistan with her husband and young children, although again it is unclear if she remains there.
Involvement: Mohammad Rahimi snr, seen outside the family home and business on Tuesday, said he told the FBI two years ago that his son was a terrorist
Family home: The Rahami family live above the chicken shop run by the father, Mohammad Rahami.
Investigators say they were able to identify Rahami (pictured above in different pictures mugshots) from a fingerprint on a second pressure cooker bomb planted in Chelsea that didn't explode
She also posted two other provocative messages - one a quote from Anwar al-Awlaki, the notorious American preacher of hate who posted pro-al Qaeda messages online before he was killed by a drone strike in Yemen in September 2011.
The message reinforces the sister's apparent opposition to democracy.
She also posted a video from a Facebook group called Soldiers of Allah 2, which appears to offer support for a caliphate.
The apocalyptic video calls for the restoration of the caliphate and features images of New York on fire.
The website she shared it from also features pro-ISIS videos, including one celebrating its rise which was posted provocatively on September 11 2015.
Other items she posted include sharing a post about claims that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by the U.S. government as an 'inside job' with the intention of smearing Muslims; sharing a post with claims that the attacks were carried out by 'Israel with the agreement of many Zionists'; and a post about a British rapper who joined ISIS in which a DailyMail.com article was 'analyzed' with the conclusion: 'when young brave muslim want to make a differences and help the innocent you call them terrorist.'
The presence of pro-jihadi material on the family's social media comes after the father's admission that he had reported his own son to the FBI as a possible terrorist.
Law enforcement sources have said that Ahmad Rahami repeatedly traveled at length to Pakistan and Afghanistan and are investigating whether he was radicalized there.
Mohammad Rahami Sr, said on Tuesday: 'Two years ago, I call the FBI. My son he's doing really bad, ok?
'But they checked it almost two months. He's ok. He's clear. He's not... terrorist. Now say he's a terrorist. I say ok.'
When asked why he called the FBI two years ago, Mohammad said it was his son's violent outbursts.
'Because he doing bad. He stab my son and hit my wife. I put him in the jail.'
Rahami said the son he had stabbed was Nasim, confirming details revealed exclusively by DailyMail.com on Monday.
Family arrested: This was the moment the FBI and other law enforcement stopped members of the Rahami family in Brooklyn, New York. They were later all released
Freed: The five members of the Rahami family who were arrested were later released without charge
‘For no reason, because he stabbed my son and hit my wife. And I took him to jail two years ago.’
Asked what Ahmad had done to his mother, Rahami said: ‘He hurt... I have to go.'
Sonia Reyes, a long-time friend of the family, who runs the beauty salon next door to the Rahamis' fried chicken shop in Elizabeth, New Jersey, said it was clear that he had changed on his trips abroad.
Reyes, 46, told DailyMail.com she was 'shocked' and 'sad' to learn that Ahmad was suspected of planting a pressure-cooker bomb and another device in the heart of Manhattan on Saturday night.
'He comes to my beauty salon and I cut his hair for a long time. Maybe 14, 15 years.
'That's why I don't feel good because you would never think of this.'
She said that Ahmad has a Dominican wife and a child. She did not know her name but Fox reported on Monday that Rahami's former partner was called Maria.
Reyes said that she had been close with the family whose business sits alongside her store, Sonia's Beauty Color Express.
'I know Mohammad his father, the whole family I know,' she said. 'Very nice people, very normal people. You never think about how they would think, or what they would do.'
The salon owner said that after one trip to Afghanistan, Ahmad had returned a changed man.
'He went back to his country and he stayed there for six months and when he came back here, he had changed a lot.
[He was] very different. Everything – his clothes, before he would talk a lot, but then he was very quiet.'
There are now mounting questions about whether other family members knew about his plot, including his mother and wife who left the U.S. for the Middle East right before the attacks.
Brother: Nasim Rahami is the younger brother of the alleged terrorist. It was alleged that Ahmad stabbed him two years ago
Family: Among the Rahami family is daughter Zobyedh, who is a public health student at nearby Rutgers University
Plea: The suspected bomber's sister issued this appeal on social media.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Rahami's wife left for Pakistan just days before the bombings, and was stopped by officials in the United Arab Emirates, a popular stopover for flights between the U.S. and the Middle East.
It's still unclear whether she was allowed to travel on to Pakistan, was held in the UAE or returned to the U.S.
Rahami's mother also left for Turkey three weeks before the attacks, and has not yet returned to the U.S., an official told ABC News.
Questions still linger about the five other family members who were pulled over and taken into custody Sunday night.
At the time, it was alleged that the five people were armed and en route to JFK Airport. On Monday, those family members were released without being charged.
Authorities told CNN that Rahami had spent a year, between 2013 and 2014, in Pakistan where he traveled to the city of Quetta - a hotbed of extremism.
While there he stayed with family in refugee camps, authorities confirmed. He also visited Karachi in 2005, and an unknown region in 2011.
The most recent trip took place in 2014, when he petitioned NJ congressman Albio Sires to help him get his then-pregnant wife a visa.
Despite his heavy travel to and from the Middle East, officials said that Rahami was not on any terror watch lists.
The style of bombings in Seaside Park, New Jersey and the Chelsea neighborhood remind investigators of the Boston Marathon bombings.
The 28-year-old has been charged with five counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and two gun charges after he was captured in an FBI shootout following the terror attacks in New York and New Jersey over the weekend.
Bail has been set at $5.2 million and he remains in hospital after being shot while being taken into custody.
So far, his Miranda Rights have not been read to him and the FBI continues to investigate the bombings before officially charging him in connection to those incidents.
Almost 30 people were injured in the devastating Manhattan attack in the upscale neighborhood of Chelsea on Saturday evening.
Shortly before the blast, Rahami was seen on surveillance footage walking down 23rd Street in Chelsea, dragging a wheeled bag behind him. That bag, police say, contained the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker explosive which he used in the attack.
TIMELINE OF TERROR: HOW FBI MANHUNT UNFOLDED OVER 48 HOURS
In just 48 hours New York and New Jersey have been shaken by a series of bombings and attempted bombings. Authorities are investigating the possibility that it could be the result of a terrorist cell operating in the city. that authorities believe may be the result of a terrorist cell operating in the city but current indications are that the blasts are the work of a lone wolf. Here's what happened and when
1) 9.30am: Pipe bomb detonated at military fun run near Seaside Park, New Jersey
The pipe bomb exploded in a waste bin along the proposed route of the third annual Semper Five 5K run. The race had been delayed, so no one was hurt. Two other unexploded devices were found in the same garbage can. They were attached to flip-phone timers.
2) 8.30pm: First 'pressure cooker' bomb explodes on West 23 St in Chelsea, Midtown Manhattan, New York
The bomb, which was placed in or near a metal trash dumpster at a building site, injured 29 people, including a boy of eight. One person was seriously injured, but all 29 were released from hospital by Monday morning.
3) 10pm: Unexploded second 'pressure cooker' bomb found on West 27 St in Chelsea
A resident found a pressure cooker with a flip-phone timer outside her home and called in police. Two State Troopers located the bomb, which was taken to a police firing range in The Bronx to be defused. It was defused at 8pm Sunday. All evidence is being taken to Quantico for analysis.
4) 8.30pm: Five IEDs are found near a train station in Elizabeth, New Jersey
Two homeless men found a backpack in a wastepaper basket by a railroad bridge near Elizabeth Station. Upon spotting the bombs they ran to a nearby police station. Police then evacuated the area and brought in a robot to defuse the bombs. At 1am the robot cut the wrong wire, causing one bomb to detonate. No one was hurt, and the bombs were relocated.
5) 8.45pm: Five people stopped by FBI agents while driving through Brooklyn towards Verrazano Bridge
FBI agents pulled over the group, who were driving an SUV, and detained them for questioning. On Monday NYC FBI assistant director William Sweeney Jr announced in a press conference that all five had been released without charge. He said at the same conference that Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, of New Jersey was the only suspect being considered in this case. Early reports indicated that the vehicle stopped by the FBI contained weapons and bomb-making equipment, but these details were not mentioned by Sweeney.
6) 6am: FBI raids home of suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami in Elizabeth, New Jersey
FBI agents struck the home of Rahami and his father above 'First American Fried Chicken' restaurant owned by the family at 104 Elmora Avenue. Soon after Rahami was named by the Bureau as a suspect in the case.
7) Noon: Rahami spotted in Linden, NJ, sleeping in a bar doorway
Harry Barnes, owner of Merdies bar on Elizabeth Avenue, spotted Rahami sleeping in the doorway of his establishment. He asked the man to move in case he cut himself on broken glass, but when Rahami looked up, Barnes recognized him and ran to call police. Rahami fired on approaching officers, instigating a shoot-out in which he was wounded in the shoulder and arrested. Two officers were also injured.

Food Type: Seed
Age Suggestion: 6 months +
Common Allergen: Yes
When can babies have sesame seeds?
Sesame may be introduced as soon as a baby is ready to start having solids, which is generally around 6 months of age. Start small by serving a scant amount at introduction, as sesame is increasingly recognized as a common food allergen.
Are sesame seeds healthy
Yes. Sesame is a powerhouse of nutrients that babies need to thrive, including B vitamins, folate, and important minerals like copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and selenium. As one of the most oil-rich seeds available, sesame is also filled with healthy fats like lignans and phytosterols that hold antioxidant, anti-cancerous, and anti-inflammatory powers.The tiny seeds also offer plenty of fiber and protein and are a good source of calcium, iron, and zinc, which are often low in infant and toddler diets.
The nutritional benefits of sesame are most accessible when the tiny seeds are ground into paste or powder, making it easier for the body to absorb.5 Consuming sesame oil is another excellent way to enjoy the benefits of sesame. Aside from the delicious flavor, it has an added superpower in its high smoke-point. That means you can use the oil for high-heat cooking without it becoming rancid
It's a fact!
Open sesame! That magical phrase opens the door to a cave filled with hidden treasure in the book of folktales, One Thousand and One Nights. It also pays homage to the sesame plant’s pod-like fruits, which burst when ripe to reveal an abundance of oil-packed seeds. Since ancient times, humans have put the tiny seeds to use as food, medicine, and oil for lamplight in Asia, where historians believe the sesame plant was first cultivated.
Sesame cultivation has resulted in many varieties that come in a range of earth-toned colors, from cream to gold to red to brown, each with nuanced flavor. For example, white sesame seeds taste less nutty than black sesame seeds and less bitter than benne, an heirloom African variety of sesame seeds that enslaved people brought to the United States and grew as a staple food on the Carolina islands.

Basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has revealed that he is being treated for a rare form of leukemia. The 62-year-old, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia last December but insists his prognosis is positive.
The LA Lakers legend says he wants to raise awareness of the illness.
"I've never been a person to share my private life, but I can help save lives," he said. "It's incumbent on someone like me to talk about this."
Abdul-Jabbar went for tests last year after feeling odd sensations, saying: "I was getting hot flashes and sweats on a regular basis. That's not normal, even for my age."
Tests revealed a "sky-high" white blood cell count and doctors diagnosed the rare condition.
But despite admitting he was "scared" upon hearing the diagnosis, the Lakers assistant coach is taking oral medication and has not had to cut back his level of activity of coaching, change his regime or adjust his diet.
"There is hope," he added. "This condition can be treated. You can still live a productive, full life. I'm living proof I can make it."
Abdul-Jabbar scored 38,387 points and won six NBA titles in a glittering 20-year career with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Lakers.
He started his career with the Bucks in 1969 before being traded to the Lakers in 1975, retiring in 1989 at the age of 42.
Abdul-Jabbar, famed for his sky-hook shot, was a six-time winner of the NBA's most valuable player award and was a 19-time NBA All-Star.

Brown, bubbly and effervescent. A blast from the past straight to the present. Singer, songwriter, producer extraordinaire. The realest of the real. Betty Wright is a soul and R&B singer with deep gospel roots. She influenced a generation of female singer-songwriters and continues to influence the world of R&B and hip hop, who sample some of her more famous material.
Born singing gospel with the family group, the Echoes of Joy, Wright began experimenting with R&B music in 1965 when she was only 11 years old. In 1968, she released her first album «My First Time Around» and scored her first national hit at the age of 14. In 1971, Wright scored her biggest hit at the age of 17 with the classic song «Clean Up Woman», which reached #2 R&B and #6 Pop. In 1975, Wright had a big year with the hit songs «Tonight is the Night» (about a real life love affair that happened with Wright when she was a teenager) and «Where is the Love?» (won Grammy for Best R&B Song).
After several more solid hits during the next decade, Wright started her own record label, Ms. B Records in 1985. In 1988, Wright made music history by being the first woman to have a gold record on her own label, with the release of her album «Mother Wit» that she wrote, arranged and produced herself. The album featured one of her biggest hits in years, «No Pain No Gain», which reached #11 R&B, with Wright displaying her powerful upper register capabilities and seven-octave range.
In recent years, Wright had another hit song «Baby», an amazing collaboration with her dear friend Angie Stone which garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Duet. Wright is also credited with co-producing two albums by Joss Stone which received multiple Grammy nominations, vocal production on Diddy and Keyshia Cole’s Top 10 hit «Last Night», vocal coaching on Making The Band 3 which spawned the group Danity Kane, and co-producing the critically acclaimed «Bible Belt» by Diane Birch.
Wright has also mentored several young singer/songwriters in a home-based camp called the MOST, which is an acronym for Mountain Of Songs Today. She has been instrumental in the careers of hundreds of artists through vocal coaching, production, song writing, backing vocalist, music consultancy, etc. Throughout her legendary career, Wright has worked with many of the biggest names in music including Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, Alice Cooper and Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones!

National Befriending Week 2023 is here, and it's time to celebrate and strengthen the essential work of befriending organisations across the UK. This year's theme, "Befriending is Support," highlights the vital role that befriending plays in providing support to those in need. At the heart of this movement is Befriending Networks, a network of organisations dedicated to creating connections and nurturing friendships that make a significant difference in people's lives.
A Helping Hand: Bridging Gaps and Fostering Friendships
At St Augustine's, we are currently operating our A Helping Hand befriending programme, which specifically supports refugees and people seeking asylum. The primary objective of the programme is to build meaningful friendships between Centre Members (the individuals receiving support) and volunteers (befrienders). These friendships have a profound impact on everyone involved, from the befrienders to the befrienders themselves. Activities can range from regular chats to going for a walk, visiting local places, and engaging in various activities together.
Befriending Stories: Changing Lives One Friendship at a Time
The power of befriending is evident in the stories shared during Befriending Week. The voices of those directly involved in the scheme resonate with warmth and compassion:
"She's grown as a person. She's got more confident as we've known each other. It's been lovely really." - This statement reflects the positive impact that befriending has on the personal growth and self-confidence of the befriended.
"It's so easy to become lonely. Befriending is vital." - Loneliness is a significant challenge for many, and befriending serves as a vital solution to combat this issue.
"I learned what the role of the befriending scheme should and shouldn't be. To understand what is and isn't available... to be an essential friend." - This highlights the importance of understanding the boundaries and possibilities of befriending while emphasising its essential nature in the lives of those involved.
A Volunteer Befriender's Perspective
The voices of volunteer befrienders offer a unique insight into their motivations and the profound impact of their involvement:
"I wanted to become a befriender to support someone new to the area, to help improve their self-confidence, to be a fresh perspective, and to learn about a new culture and language. Most of all, I want to become their friend - someone they can trust."
"We should never underestimate the positive effects of a conversation over a cup of tea or a walk in the park."
"I am always reminded of a quotation I once read: 'One person cannot change the world, but you can change the world for one person.' I hope that becoming a friend to Y and her family enriches her life as much as she and her family enrich mine."
A Symbol of Compassion and Unity
During Refugee Week 2023, we made a powerful statement of solidarity with those fleeing war and persecution. Together with Sand In Your Eye, we created a breathtaking piece of land art, featuring Sobeda, who fled Bangladesh, and Lucy, her friend from the befriending scheme. The art beautifully illustrates the year's theme of compassion.
Nearly 300 people joined together, hand in hand, to form a human chain surrounding the artwork, captured by a drone photo, symbolising unity and solidarity. Sobeda expressed her gratitude: "Myself and my husband Monir were referred to the Befriending Programme run by St Augustine’s Centre because when we arrived here, we were struggling and isolated. We were introduced to Lucy, who has helped us through difficult times and reduced our sadness."
The Driving Force Behind The Befriending Programme
None of this would be possible without the dedication of Rabia, a staff member at St Augustine's and the programme leader
"There is a need for befriending for our Centre Members at St Augustine's. It is making a huge impact, just by knowing that there is someone you can talk to, someone who is there for you."
"Friendship is important, for our Centre Members and anyone's life. Isolation is one of the biggest things our Centre Members face. Once a Centre Member has made that step with a befriender, we can see them flourish, grow in their confidence, and become empowered."
"The hostile legislation that makes our Centre Members' lives worse and harder; befriending shows hope that people still have compassion and will care for you regardless of monetary motivations."
Becoming a Befriender
If you're inspired by the stories and the impact of befriending and would like to make a difference in the lives of those seeking sanctuary, consider becoming a befriender. Reach out to Rabia to find out more about how you can get involved.

This is a day filled with many emotions. The good-byes which started yesterday with church leaders, Compassion staff and our sponsor child will continue today with hotel staff and later this evening with Yosef, the Compassion country director that has been with us throughout the whole trip and our amazing bus driver, Eyob, who has safely navigated us through unbelievable traffic conditions everywhere we’ve gone. It has been a joy to meet so many of these dedicated, servant hearted leaders, gracious, hospitable people and precious, lovable children. It is sad to know that we won’t see them again for quite some time. But how thankful we are that relationships have been formed and developed, and the inexplicable bond that we have in Christ that unifies us and will forever keep these people in our hearts and minds cannot be broken.
We have experienced so much in such a short time that it is overwhelming and it will take time to process it all. Be patient with us as we try to acclimate back into life in America ☺ It is very different than what we’ve experienced and we are changed, prayerfully forever. We are also looking forward to reuniting with family and friends at home and sharing stories with whoever might want to hear them.
This day has also filled our senses. The sights and sounds and smells we experience on the bus ride from our hotel to Addis Ababa continue throughout the day as we try to take in all the contrasts that this city displays before us. People are everywhere you look. We enter a Hilton hotel that could easily be found in America to exchange our money for birr so that we can use it for shopping. Within close proximity there are makeshift shops that you can’t help but wonder how they stand. The roads are filled with cars, trucks, buses, little blue and white 3 wheel taxis and yes even donkeys with carts. They are all driving on roads with no marked lanes, no speed limit signs and no traffic signals or stop signs. (I think we may have seen 2 the whole time we were in the city.) There could be pages written about the diversity found in this developing city.
Today is also our shopping day and a very interesting cultural experience. Before we start we have one last cup of the best coffee in the world—where coffee originated. Quite a few little shops dot the two blocks we stroll up and down looking for gifts and things to remind us of this amazing country. An accepted practice, once you find something you like, is to negotiate the price—rarely do you end up paying the initial asking price of the shopkeeper. After lunch we head for a market to buy spices. It is difficult to describe that adventure of walking down narrow little passageways on ground with not one inch of flat surface in sight. There had to be hundreds of little shops selling everything imaginable in a square block area – this is their Walmart, where you find food, tupperware, clothing, fabric, fresh veggies, fruits, grains…
It is time to head to the airport. We pack our purchased items in the dark on a flat surface outside the airport, pray as a team one last time and say our final good-byes. Pastor Ed and Pastor Mike have taken off for Kenya that morning, Jay and Kimberly are now heading for Uganda and the rest of us will settle in for the 16 hour flight to Washington D.C. As we enter the airport, it seems like we were here just yesterday at the same time it seems like we were here an eternity ago.

This project is to put together a cup & string phone that kids can use to talk with each other. As one kid listens, the other speakes into the cup and the vibrations from his/her voice travels through the cup, along the string to the other cup so the other kid can hear the voice. Note: Make sure that the string is tight and not touching anything.

Blending the sounds of Delta slide greats such as Blind Willie Johnson and Robert Johnson with his own eclectic past experience and training in classical guitar and heavy metal, Tompo is a 27 year old Australian blues musician with a big voice and a quietly endearing stage presence, using his guitars, blues harp, stomp-box and shakers to convey his heartfelt songs of 'good news blues.'
James Michael Thompson sound has been honed and refined by the influences of Jeff Lang, John Lee Hooker, Lloyd Spiegel, Paul Simon and Skip James. Beginning to gig in earnest in late 2004, James Michael Thompson credits include debuting at the acclaimed Bridgetown Blues Festival in 2005; supports for 'The Bondi Cigars and Lloyd Spiegel at the Perth Blues Club, hosting the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society's (MBAS) blues night at the Cornish Arms and demonstrating the one-of-a-kind Ellis Guitars Seven String Resonator at the Frankston Guitar Festival in 2005. James Michael Thompson has also performed alongside the likes of Collard, Greens and Gravy; The Black Sorrows and Guy Davis at the Mordialloc Music by the Bay; Queensland songsmiths Loren & Marcus Bancroft; as well as performing on the same bill as Michael Franti and Jamie Cullum at the West Coast Blues and Roots Festival. James Michael Thompson recorded his first E.P 'Light Your Way' in 2005, which has found its way into homes across Australia and has received airplay on local, national and international radio. The track 'Broken Bone Blues' was a finalist in the Western Australian Music Industry (WAM) Song of the Year contest for 2005.
He may be still a relative stranger to the Australian music scene but James Michael Thompson is fast winning fans and praise country-wide. He has been described by Sonia Meggs, the President of the MBAS as a 'true bluesman':
"At a very young age James Michael Thompson has captured the blues and made it his own. You will be enthralled by his presentation and style of his music, his vocals are deep and soulful reminding me of the past struggles of men working on a chain-gang, or in the cotton fields in the deep south in the days of slavery. James Michael Thompson is a true bluesman!" Sonia Meggs - President Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society
