*NEW THIS FALL* MONOPOLY BOARD GAME FOR CHEATERS!!


Hasbro is releasing a special "Cheater's Edition" of Monopoly this fall.

The twist on the classic game will encourage fans to cheat during gameplay.

The Cheater's Edition will come with 15 cheat cards which ask players to carry out tasks throughout the game.

These can range from taking money from the bank to moving someone else's token on your turn.

If successful, players will get rewards like extra cash or free properties to help them get further in the game.

If they're caught, players may have to hand over money or wind up handcuffed to the board game in jail.



Here's how the box for the Cheater's Edition will look. Hasbro
"A recent study conducted by Hasbro revealed that nearly half of game players attempt to cheat during Monopoly games, so in 2018, we decided it was time to give fans what they've been craving all along - a Monopoly game that actually encourages cheating," Jonathan Berkowitz, senior vice president of Hasbro gaming tells INSIDER.

(You can see the top ways Hasbro says fans cheat at Monopoly here.)

The object of the game is still to be the player with the most money at the game's end, but it may be a little tougher to accomplish. The Cheater's Edition will ask players to get away with cheating as many times as they can during game play. That means players can skip spaces, try to avoid paying rent, and slip a few extra bills from the bank when no one's looking.

FULL BLUE MOON AND TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE TOMORROW!


In recent years, people have been using the name Blue Moon for the second of two full moons in a single calendar month. An older definition says a Blue Moon is the third of four full moons in a single season. ... The term once in a blue moon used to mean something rare.



The full moon will be on Wednesday (or Thursday for different time zones)! It is the second full moon in January, a so called "blue moon". Simultaneously, a total lunar eclipse will take place!

*** Our (second) full moon thought for January ***
Being human entails contradictions. And opposites. And can sometimes create feelings of not understanding life with all its turmoil. Is this uncertainty a part of it? Is it maybe even necessary in order to remain receptive towards new questions? Do we envision the search for answers as an image of security, which may promise us calmness, but in reality means stagnation? It appears to be complicated. However, the ancient teachings of wisdom encourage us to entrust ourselves to the uncertainty. It surely would be worth a try …


The exact time of the next full moon is:
Wednesday * 31st January 2018 * 08:26:44 am (EST)
Moon sign: Leo 11° 37'

TOP 5 HOT PICKS FOR CHILDREN'S DRUM KITS!



There are lots of children drum sets on the market, and choosing one can be a difficult task. Your decision should mainly be based on your budget and your kids’ level of interest in drumming. Also, you need to consider the quality of the product and the size of the set. This list should help you decide which junior drum set to go with.

Pearl RS525SCC706 Roadshow

This is one of the best manufacturers of drum sets. Many professional players actually use Pearl products. This New Fusion particular set includes one 10-inch tom, one 12-inch tom, one 22-inch bass drum, one 16-inch ride cymbal and 14-inch high-hats. Alternatively, you can choose to go with the Fusion, Jazz or Rock configurations.

Being a premium product, the set is solid enough to work for gigs. The only setback is that the product does not include a drum throne.

Mendini by Cecilio

This is one of the entry level junior drums sets. The set is fully functional and includes a pair of sticks and a drum throne. Being a high-quality set, the manufacturer offers a one-year warranty. This product will work best for children of up to 5 feet tall, and, therefore, has very little room to grow.

Since it is inexpensive, it is ideal if you are unsure about your kids’ level of interest in playing drums. You can check the buying guide in this drum set for children reviews for ideas on how to choose these products.

Ludwig LC179X016 Breakbeats

This is a compact product that focuses on the basic functions of drum sets. The design allows for easy storage and also makes it easy to move around. In addition, it keeps the children focused on drumming instead of the other extra functions of drum sets. It includes a 16-inch bass drum, a 13-inch floor tom, and a 10-inch rack tom. The design allows users to add cymbals. With fine tuning, the set will produce the same tone as professional products.

Gammon 5-Piece Drum Set

This set has all the necessary functions required for the simple playing of drums. With it, children will not get overwhelmed or frustrated with many drum pieces. The set includes cymbals, stands, stool, sticks and pedals, and this means you will not need to buy any additional accessories. Another great aspect of this product is the fact that it is made using real wood. As such, it is just like any professional drum set, only scaled down to suit the size of a child.

ddrum D120B MB D Series 5-Piece

ddrum is well-known for its quality products and low prices. The D120B 5-piece set is designed to help kids learn all drumming techniques with ease. Unlike many other junior drum sets, this one includes cymbals, pedals, hi-hat stands and snare stands. Assembling the drum set is quite easy and should take about an hour. The drum set is made with black-coated hardware, and this gives it an impressive look.
This list should help you choose a junior drum set for your kids. Be sure to pick a set that is small enough to fit in your storage area and to suit the height of your child.

10 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU'RE BORED


Boredom is something everyone among us gets into occasionally, and that’s not because we lack things to do. Turning these dull moments into something interesting is possible if you think about things that you could engross yourself in to brush off the boredom. There are many ideas you could pursue in this case, and most of them include activities that could help you improve yourself. Below are some of the most amazing things you could do when you are bored that might help to improve your life.

1 Try a new recipe

One of the best ways you could get rid of boredom is to try something new which is also challenging. A perfect idea you could embrace for this is trying a new recipe, probably including ingredients and a method you are not familiar with. The best to try includes foreign meals that could help improve your culinary mastery. Google is your friend when you need to locate new recipes that are exciting to try, and before the meal is ready, you will discover that the boredom would have been cleared.

2 Practice video editing

The web offers many resources that you could use to learn how to edit video content for distribution through social channels. There are many tools available for this and one that I could encourage you to try is the Freemake Video Converter. It helps you convert your videos to good formats and you could also take care of size if your content will be uploaded online. You can find out how to use it here. When bored, you could learn a lot about editing your videos to the quality standards that would match perfect content for online distribution. Maybe this could be the start of your journey to greatness as a vlogger or digital marketer.

3 Take a relaxing bath

It’s also possible the reason you are feeling bored is because you are weary and need to freshen up. To find out, just try a relaxing bath and you might just get a chance to relax as you prepare to go on with your tasks. Put on some music and get into the shower for some warm bath. This way, you can enjoy a soothing experience that will leave you refreshed and ready to face more of your routine tasks.

4 Enjoy some video games

Nothing grabs your attention better than a video game. You have to keep your mind engaged to pass all the stages, so for someone who is bored playing a video game could be an awesome way to fight boredom. Just look for one that has a tough challenge that will require you to coordinate your effort and put in a lot of work and you will find that the experience will help you to stay alert afterwards. There are many types of games available that suit this situation including 3D Car Simulator, LetterPress, and Slither. Just choose a game you love or pick a new challenge to learn a new game.

5 Call an old friend

Instead of just staring blankly in space wondering what you should do when bored, you could call one of your old friends who you have not spoken to in a long while. Relationships are important in your life and the best way to rekindle the bond is to keep the conversation going. Calling an old friend comes with a lot of excitement and both of you will be happy to hear about each other, and in most cases such conversations span a long period. After the call, the satisfaction that comes with talking with an old friend will get you charged up again to face your duties.

6 Start a blog

Another idea you could pursue would be starting a blog, specifically a WordPress hosted blog. Just head over at WordPress and create a blog, and you can pick one of the many available templates. It does not matter whether you will create any content on the same day, but getting started will really help you start engaging your thought process in creative ways. A blog is a perfect way to speak your mind and will help you improve your writing skills.

7 Flip through old family photos

Photos are a good way to store memories and could give you a nostalgic feeling. When bored, you could try to kick the boredom out by going through your family’s photo collection, even those from your childhood. This will bring fond memories and will help you stay focused afterwards.

8 Take a power nap

Sleeping has been proved scientifically to have health benefits, so if you are bored instead of just spending time prolonging the boredom why don’t you try some power nap? This will allow you to rest and after you get up your body will have new energy. Don’t force yourself to remain alert even when you are feeling exhausted and unable to concentrate on anything. Sleep will solve this quite perfectly and this will cost you nothing.

9 Go for a walk

Probably it would be better if you get out for some walk. This will keep you busy and your mind will be brought to new realities and you can meet new people and start conversations. Get out and explore regions you have not been to before or for a long time.

10 Watch comedy on YouTube

Lastly, try watching some comedy on one of your favorite YouTube channels. Laughter is a good way to refresh your mind and it helps to restore your energy, so when bored try to catch up with new episodes of the comedy you love. You could also watch new comedy channels that you have never tried before and subscribe to the ones that excite you the most.

Boredom is an opportunity to do something new or even try to keep yourself occupied with something that could help improve your life. There are many things you could try when bored and a few have been listed above that are also easy to implement.
