'An 18-year-old man has died in Jersey, after taking "strong" ecstasy tablets. Kyle Pringle was taken to the General Hospital, but died there just before 6:30am on Saturday. Police say "the evidence suggests" Kyle's death was caused by consuming IKEA branded tablets. Officers had put out a warning about the tablets over the weekend, claiming they are "stronger than expected".'

tl;dr NBOMe mixtures sold as MDMA are around, don’t snort unknown caps, use test-kits wisely, look after your mates, and get your lab student/worker friends to contact us so we don’t need to rely on labs in Barcelona to access high-quality drug testing in Australia!
On the weekend 15-16 January 2017, there was a spate of poisonings, hospitalisations and deaths that have been associated a batch of capsules that were reportedly sold as MDMA or Ecstasy. Punters at Revolver nightclub and other clubs on Melbourne’s Chapel Street were affected.
The contents of these caps appeared damp, more like a brown sugar consistency than crystals or powder.
We obtained anonymous reports from people who consumed these capsules. The reports describe very strong hallucinogenic symptoms and paranoia. While in most cases, the symptoms resolved without medical intervention, they were very unpleasant, with one person reporting that they ‘felt like they were going to die or never be the same again’.
Reagent test kit results were shared by Bernie Maitri: these reports showed the substance was unlikely to be MDMA-like, and could instead contain PM(M)A or 2C-T-X. However these results were inconclusive, so we arranged to send a sample of this drug to Barcelona, where Energy Control conducts an international testing service. Mireia Ventura conducted the tests with GC/MS and LC/MS. The testing confirmed that the contents of the capsules:
- 4-FA (main substance)
- a low amount of MDMA
- 25C-NBOMe
This mixture is consistent with the reports. 25C-NBOMe is highly potent with only microgram doses required to produce strong hallucinogenic effects. 4-FA is an amphetamine-type stimulant which has been described as having an effect somewhere between amphetamine and MDMA. It is concerning that a low amount of MDMA was detected in the mixture, as this may be an indication that the manufacturers were hoping to fool reagent test kits by including enough MDMA to produce a positive result.

In recent months DanceWize has received a number of reports from our peers in the dance community who use Mecke and Mandelin reagent tests sourced online (or from a limited number of retailers in Melbourne) that substances purchased as MDMA (colloquially referred to as Ecstasy) were in fact other Novel Psychoactive Substances, including methylone, 2CB, 2CI, and 2CE. Further, of more concern, such reagent tests have also indicated with a high degree of certainty that PMA/PMMA is in circulation in Victoria masquerading as MDMA.
The substances tested were described as a clear capsule containing white powder that had a subtle purple hue, and a circular orange pill with a capitalised ‘B’ press.
This is extremely concerning due to the dangers associated with PMA/PMMA, which is known to elevate body temperature dramatically and has been linked to deaths around the world from hyperthermia (overheating). When partying, if you or anyone else seems to be experiencing fever-like symptoms please seek urgent medical attention and make every effort to reduce core body temperate (drink water, remove clothing layers, apply ice packs to hot spots, and move to a cooler environment if necessary). Remember emergency services are there to help not judge, so don’t hesitate!
DanceWize encourages partygoers to be aware of this trend and consider pill testing as an advisable harm reduction tool. If you would like additional harm reduction educational information please contact DanceWize via the Harm Reduction Victoria website: http://hrvic.org.au/dancewize/.

There are some odd bingo names that you might not be familiar with if you've ever watched or played bingo in a land-based hall or online. It takes more than just one-two-three to call out bingo numbers. In case you were wondering if you had heard it right about Winnie the Pooh or little ducks, you did. Bingo calls are sometimes too odd to be true!
In this section, we will shed some light on what bingo calls are and how they work. If you plan to play this game, this knowledge will come in handy for you.
Bingo calls act as separate explanations for each of the ninety numbers that are shown on screen during a game. These original nicknames developed as useful ways to tell apart numbers that sound alike, especially in noisy settings. This creative language originated in the bingo halls of London and has since developed, absorbing aspects of popular culture of other areas as well.
As the game moves a little more slowly, the use of bingo catchphrases has become less common in recent years. Originally, the purpose of using bingo sayings was to make it easier for players to make them out. When you're far away from the caller, it can be difficult to hear the difference between 16 and 60, but you can hear the difference between "never been kissed" and "five dozen."
We will explain the story behind the most curious phrases in each ten-spot.
Bingo calls are an irreplaceable part of the game culture. They are unique and fun. No pun intended, but initially bingo was a simple game for the British working class, which found its reflection in the story of calls. Just FYI, working class representatives counted for the most part of the population, so bingo was (and still is) a truly popular game.
Bingo calls are usually associated with idiomatic phrases, which in turn are mostly used by the working class. Therefore, they mostly consist of slang and colloquial language founded in a group culture unfamiliar to outsiders. This is one of the reasons bingo creates a strong community sense: players share the same cultural code and language patterns.
Since bingo is an easy game with pretty straightforward rules, its classic variant is often used to welcome new members of different communities, for example, retirement ones. The game makes elderly people smile and feel the long-gone adrenaline rush instead of the depressing mood common in such facilities. It can be bingo for real money or for tokens.
Initially, bingo was created in the UK. As it became more popular, the game spread to other regions and countries that added more gusto to the gameflow by contributing elements of their languages and cultures to it.
For example, Americans added bits and pieces of their history and historical heritage to their calls. The phrase “Apollo 11” refers to the U. S. space missions, while “Route 66” resonates with the famous highway in the States. Sometimes, rhymes in slang and regional references are used in Australian bingo calls. Australia's fondness of Western films is reflected in the choice of the phrase for number six, Tom Mix, named for the well-known American cowboy movie star.
In our list above, we shared just a few of the most well-known calls. In online bingo, more unique and humorous call variations are spreading and becoming more well-known as more players meet and talk with one another about the game in active online chat rooms. It can be truly amusing to explore their meanings.
Most bingo calls are based on rhymes, shapes, historical references, and pop culture elements. But there are some really curious ones. For example, the call for number 10 refers to the address where the British Prime Minister resides — 10 Downing Street — and depends on who holds the office at the moment of the game. While number 85 (Staying Alive) is just a rhyme that specifically refers to the well-known Bee Gees song, number 17 (Dancing Queen) goes a step further and plays homage to the ABBA song's lyrics.
In an ongoing game, bingo callers will call out each and every number drawn until a winner is determined. In the event that a line, two lines, or house is won by one or more players, the caller will announce the winners and their respective share of the winnings.
The significance of the bingo caller is clear to anyone who has ever entered a bingo hall. A caller is basically an MC of the game. However, a caller's responsibilities extend far beyond selecting and announcing the balls. Every bingo call needs to have a certain set of skills.
Even though the numbers are easy to understand, a caller who speaks in a monotonous or flat tone can make the game seem dull. To help players establish a rhythm, the calling speed should be consistent.
Bingo calls add to the game unique charm and ability to bring people together. Thus, pay attention to the calls the next time you settle in for a game. These aren't just some random words; they serve as a connection to a centuries-old heritage that has been infused with modern humor.
What is the most popular bingo call?
There is no such thing as a popular bingo call. These phrases relate to the numbers and have a relatively similar chance of being called out.
Are bingo calls the same in all games?
Mostly, they are, but some regions add elements of their culture and language to the calls for better localization.
How do bingo calls differ in online versus traditional bingo?
The calls mostly differ from area to another rather than from online casino versions to traditional bingo.
