Barcelona appear to have stolen a march on Manchester United after reportedly submitting a £10m bid for Arsenal's Thomas Vermaelen.
The Belgian international has been hotly tipped to quit the Gunners this summer, with speculation only increasing yesterday as he rejected a new deal at the Emirates.
United and Barca have both been linked with the centre-half, but it is the Catalan giants who have taken the first steps towards securing his signature, after making a £10m offer according to Sky Sports.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger was said to be reluctant to sell to a Premier League rival, especially having already seen Bacary Sagna join Manchester City this summer.
And with Barca putting the first offer on the table, Arsenal could quickly accept to ensure Vermaelen moves away from the Premier League.

The two suspects ― a 51-year-old vessel safety operator surnamed Kim and a vessel inspector surnamed Jeon ― allegedly approved the operation of the Sewol ferry and issued a safety certificate without verifying the authenticity of the "forged" report submitted by Chonghaejin Marine Co., the operator of the sunken ferry.
The court cited "the seriousness of the (alleged) crime and the possibility of the suspects' flight" as the reason for its endorsement of the warrant issuance, requested by the prosecution.
Investigators are striving to arrest a female follower of Yoo Byung-eun, the de facto owner of the ill-fated ferry Sewol, as the woman in her late 50s, surnamed Kim, is suspected of masterminding the 73-year-old business tycoon's getaway.
She is known to be a close confidant of Yoo and is called "mother Kim" by devotees of the Salvation Sect, which is allegedly led by Yoo. After Yoo's key aide Lee Jae-ok, a medical professor, was arrested by police for reportedly providing the business irregularity-saddled Yoo with hideouts, the female follower allegedly organized systematic support from the sect for the fugitive.
Later in the day, the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office said that Yoo has sought political asylum in a third country.
"But the foreign embassy in Korea rejected former (Semo Group) chairman Yoo's refugee proposal as he failed to meet the requirements," said the prosecution. "The embassy noted that the country does not provide asylum for a criminal suspect."
While the prosecution declined to name the targeted country, citing diplomatic matters, some observers alleged that it could be France or the Czech Republic. They point to Yoo's eldest brother-in-law, who served as the Korean ambassador to the Czech Republic.
The former ambassador to the Eastern European country, surnamed Oh, had reportedly played a significant role in garnering local support for an exhibition of Yoo's photo works in France.
Yoo and his family have been suspected of engaging in irregularities worth 100 billion won ($97.7 million), including embezzlement of company funds, evading taxes and breach of trust.
The prosecution is scrutinizing the circumstances surrounding his application for refugee status and plans to summon figures who have contacted the foreign embassy in Korea.
The investigative agency also asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inform embassies in Korea of Yoo's misconduct and his attempts to gain refugee status.
The prosecution has yet to determine the whereabouts of Yoo and his oldest son Dae-gyun despite a series of raids in cities including Suncheon, Boseong and Jeonju in the Jeolla provinces.
The prosecution is expected to once again raid Geumsuwon, Yoo and his followers' religious compound located in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province.
By Kim Yon-se (firstname.lastname@example.com)
* Pursuant to an order by the Press Arbitration Commission, we have been asked to publish the following statement from the Evangelical Baptist Church (EBC).
Evangelical Baptist Church ("EBC," the "Salvation Group"*) and Mr. Yoo Byung-eun Related Corrections and Official Statement by EBC
After the April 16, 2014 Sewol ferry tragedy, the media published a flood of indiscriminate articles regarding the EBC (also known as Guwonpa* in Korean
) and Mr. Yoo Byung-eun. Due to the immense volume of articles, it is impossible to correct and counter every single one. Therefore, in agreement with the EBC and the surviving family of Mr. Yoo Byung-eun, we are publishing the following combined corrections and Official Statement by EBC.
* This label, which is translated as the Salvation Group, has been applied disparagingly to the Evangelical Baptist Church
1. In regards to the claims that Mr. Yoo Byung-eun was the owner of the Sewol ferry vessel and the owner and Chief Executive Officer of Chonghaejin Marine Ltd ("Chonghaejin") and its affiliated companies
The majority of the media reported that, as the owner of the Sewol ferry, Mr. Yoo Byung-eun directly managed Chonghaejin and its affiliated companies and that he used operating funds for personal purposes. However, Mr. Yoo retired from his executive management position in 1997. He did not own any shares in the noted companies, nor had he managed operations, nor used the operating funds for personal reasons. He was not the owner of the Sewol ferry, nor the Chief Executive Officer of Chonghaejin. As such, he had not provided any directives in regards to the overloading of the Sewol ferry or its renovation (e.g. expansion of the cabins and cargo area).
2. In regards to the reports of Mr. Yoo Byung-eun's accumulation of illicit funds and lobbying of lawmakers
Although some media outlets reported that Mr. Yoo Byung-eun had established favorable relationships by paying bribes to politicians, Korean Prosecutors' Office verified last October that reports of such bribery activity were false. We hereby correct all articles pertaining to this matter.
3. In regards to the allegations of Mr. Yoo Byung-eun's asset holdings in other people's names and misappropriation of offerings made to the EBC
The majority of the media reported that Mr. Yoo Byung-eun was a wealthy billionaire who owned real estate properties, including Geumsuwon, both in Korea and abroad under other people's names and that he diverted the tithes and offerings made to the EBC to an illicit fund and expanded his businesses.
The EBC has confirmed that reports of his wealth incorrectly included real estate properties owned by farming associations, which had been established by church members. Thus, these reported properties were not held by Mr. Yoo Byung-eun in another person's name, but are owned by the noted farming associations.
Additionally, Mr. Yoo did not embezzle from the EBC nor did he expand his businesses by diverting tithes or offerings of the pertaining church and its members into an illicit fund.
4. In regards to the reports related to Mr. Yoo Byung-eun's position within the EBC
The EBC has stated that Mr. Yoo Byung-eun was not a religious sect leader. Although he was ordained as a pastor in the 1970s by missionaries at the Far East Broadcasting Company, he did not serve as a pastor. There is no pastor in the EBC, since it is a congregation of laymen.
It was also verified that Mr. Yoo Byung-eun did not participate in the official
process to register EBC as a church in 1981, nor had he been revered as a religious sect leader or been made into a God-like figure by the pertaining church or its members.
5. In regards to reports that the EBC is a cult and that it has false doctrines
The majority of the media reported that the EBC is a religious cult and that it preaches doctrines that are not consistent with Christianity. There are certain churches in Korea that call the EBC a cult, solely based on differences between their and the EBC's doctrines. However, the EBC has affirmed its belief in the Bible, the Trinity, Jesus' conception by the Holy Spirit, His birth, death, and resurrection. The EBC does not worship a particular individual as a religious sect leader or preach any doctrine that contradicts the Bible.
6. In regards to reports that Lee Yong-wook, a senior Coast Guard official, and the Sewol ferry crew, including Captain Lee Jun-seok, are members of the EBC, and that the EBC managed Chonghaejin
It was verified that the captain and the crew members who abandoned the ship at the time of the Sewol ferry accident are not members of the EBC. Only two people have been confirmed as members of the EBC: the late Jeong Hyun-seon, who died while evacuating passengers and thus was designated a national hero, and another person, who had been rescuing passengers and was himself later rescued in an unconscious state. It has also been verified that the EBC does not own any shares of Chonghaejin and that it did not engage in its management. Furthermore, the EBC has stated that Lee Yong-wook, a senior Coast Guard official, has not attended the EBC for the past 15 years.
7. In regards to reports of Mr. Yoo Byung-eun's attempt to flee the country by ship, reports of his seeking asylum and reports of his possession of firearms
The majority of the media reported that Mr. Yoo Byung-eun attempted to flee the country by ship, that he requested asylum in several countries but was rejected, and that he possessed firearms to protect himself. The prosecutors hastily announced without confirming the facts that Mr. Yoo Byung-eun attempted to seek asylum. However, two months later on August 18, the prosecutors revised their statement noting that "upon investigation into the identity of the caller, a person with no relation to the Salvation Group had placed a prank call." In addition, there was no evidence of any attempt by Mr. Yoo to flee the country. It has also been confirmed that the firearms alleged to be in his possession were collectibles. Furthermore, not only were they collectibles that could not be operated they were also not in his possession while he was fleeing.
8. In regards to reports on allegations about the EBC's and Mr. Yoo Byung-eun's links to the Odaeyang incident and their relationship with the Fifth Republic of Korea
Some news articles created the impression that the EBC and Mr. Yoo Byung-eun were behind the Odaeyang mass suicide incident. Some also reported that Mr. Yoo Byung-eun had been able to rapidly grow the Semo Group in the 1980s (e.g. securing the business rights to operate the Han River Ferry Cruise) by using a connection with Mr. Chun Kyung-hwan and a close relationship with the former President Chun Doo-hwan's Fifth Republic of Korea. However, the Odaeyang mass suicide incident was thoroughly investigated by the prosecution and the police three times—in 1987, 1989, and 1991. All three investigations concluded that the EBC and Mr. Yoo Byung-eun had no connection to the incident. Also, neither Mr. Yoo Byung-eun nor the EBC had any collusive ties with the Fifth Republic of Korea. All of this was verified in the official document issued from the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office on May 21, 2014.
9. In regards to reports alleging that Mr. Yoo Byung-eun held photography exhibitions at the world's top museums by donating funds and that he coerced purchases of his artwork
The artwork of Ahae (Mr. Yoo Byung-eun) was examined and authorized for exhibitions at renowned museums and exhibition sites in the United States and Europe by their screening committees. The exhibitions were unrelated to donations, and it was confirmed that there was no causal relationship between Ahae's donation history and the exhibitions. Moreover, Mr. Yoo's photography exhibitions were authorized by the committees after the directors of the respective museums had acknowledged the artistic value of Ahae's works and subsequently proposed hosting the exhibitions. It has been confirmed that the exhibitions were not a result of Mr. Yoo's patronage or donation. Additionally, the above museums have verified that an exhibition can never be authorized unless the artistic value of an artist's works is recognized by the screening committee, irrespective of the amount of money an artist donates.
Additionally, it was reported that Mr. Yoo coerced Chonghaejin and its affiliates to purchase his photos at inflated prices. However, this has been confirmed to be false.
Lastly, the Evangelical Baptist Church has released the following statement to the media:
"We sincerely request of the press to serve the public's right to know with objective and balanced reporting, guarding against biased arguments from its interviewees, all the while fulfilling its duty and responsibility to create no victims from such reporting.
We ask the press to reflect upon its manner of reporting on the Sewol ferry accident. Without waiting for the truth to be revealed through the completion of the investigative and judicial process, the reporting largely focused on releasing exclusive and sensational news reports, which led to misleading the public and essentially conducting a trial in the court of public opinion. We also ask the press to avoid compromising the democratic principles of a constitutional state and to prudently take strict precautions against those forces that aim to take advantage of this period of heartbreak for this nation in order to advance their own position and authority."

School District Reimbursed After Suspected $81,000 Lunch Money Theft
The state has agreed to reimburse Huntsville School District most of the almost $81,000 officials believe was stolen by two lunchroom employees who were fired for theft last year. The two fired employees have begun paying back much of the the remaining amount, according to the Arkansas Insurance Department.
The Arkansas Governmental Bonding Board approved paying out $74,330.86 to the school district. That amount, along with a $2,500 deductible and $4,136 in restitution paid so far, reimburses the school district for the $80,966.86 lost from a theft scheme uncovered by a State Legislative Audit last September, said Alice Jones, communications director for the Arkansas Insurance Department.
School officials found out in February 2013 that the food service director and a school lunch cashier at Huntsville High School were stealing lunch money from the school district. Debbie Cornett and Kammy Middleton were fired that month after police placed surveillance cameras in the cafeteria to see if employees were properly carrying out food transactions.
Cornett and Middleton pleaded guilty to misdemeanor theft in February. They were sentenced to probation and ordered to pay restitution, although Madison County Prosecutor Joel Cape said no specific dollar amount was established that the women stole from the school district.
Authorities never established or proved exactly how much the women stole, Cape said.
Average revenue from lunches at the school increased significantly after the pair was terminated, according to documents released by the Arkansas Division of Legislative Audit.
The report indicates on the days the food service director worked on average, revenue decreased by $283.46. During the days the cashier worked on average, revenues decreased by $37.27.
On average, for the 52 school days after employment termination of the food service director and the cashier, daily a la carte sales increased by $11.19, according to the audit report.
The audit found $80,956.86 was due to the school district from school lunch transactions.

This is the costume I wore last weekend for a small "Middle earth" LARP (Tolkein's "Lord of the rings").
I played an Haradrim witch (Haradrims = Moors, substantially). I don't remember reading descriptions of Haradrim women In Tolkien's books… Only men. So I used the "color chart" for Haradrims (red, black, gold) and did want I felt like and what seemed consistent for the character.
In truth I've done little sewing for this one.
I've had the shirt for a long time and I bought the corset (because it is beauuuuuuutiful).
So I just made two elasticated waist skirts.
- The underskirt is made of a red embroidered Indian fabric purchased from Nalli Silk Saree in Delhi. It has a slit on one side… Being able to run is essential when LARPing !
- The overskirt is in black crepe. Once sewn, I gleefully torn it into strips by hand. I thought the torn effect was perfect for this character and it allowed a glimpse of the beautiful fabric of the underskirt when I moved ^ ^.
Oh I also whipped up a veil. I used what was left of the golden embroidered border of the Indian fabric to make a headband. I tied it around my head and then I pinned a rectangle of fabric until it looked ok and sewed it. I just added two small darts under the eyes to give more of a rectangular shape to the opening and to have a better field of vision.
Find the difference
s game : There is a difference between the 1st and 2nd pictures… Which one ? It's not subtle !
The difference : yes it's the ritual dagger at the hip (thank you Ben ^ ^) … Well let me reassure non-LARPers: this is not a real one, it's foam / latex.

Program designed to support heart failure patients and reduce hospital readmissions Washington, D.C., Dec. 12, 2013 – MedStar Heart Institute at MedStar Washington Hospital Center, has been selected as one of 11 hospitals in the country to participate in the first-ever American College of Cardiology (ACC) Patient Navigator Program designed to help support heart attack and heart failure patients most at risk for readmission.
The ACC created the program in response to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services focus on reducing excessive readmissions for heart attack and heart failure. The program will help establish a team of patient navigators who will help patients overcome challenges during their hospital stay and in the weeks following discharge, when they are at most risk for readmission. It is built upon increasing evidence that personalized support can be effective, in both helping a patient make a smooth and effective transition from hospital to home and in reducing avoidable readmissions.
"We're pleased to be included in this pioneering program and proud to be in such good company," said Stuart F. Seides, MD, physician executive director, MedStar Heart Institute. "We've already established many of our own initiatives to reduce hospitals readmissions, and our participation in the ACC program will help us to further develop innovative strategies and best practices that can be applied not only locally, but nationally, to improve patient care."
Across the U.S., nearly one in five patients hospitalized with heart attack, and one in four patients hospitalized with heart failure end up back in the hospital within 30 days of discharge–often for conditions seemingly unrelated to the original diagnosis. Readmissions can be related to issues such as anxiety while in the hospital, fragility on discharge, lack of a full understanding of discharge instructions, as well as other barriers to carrying out those instructions.
"We've already begun to put together the program team, including working with MedStar Visiting Nurses Association," added Allen J. Taylor, MD, chief of Cardiology, MedStar Heart Institute. "This partnership will help to ensure a seamless transition from hospital to home for each patient, and help to connect them with needed services, education and follow-up appointments. And, it enhances our deep commitment to the continual pursuit of the highest quality care."
Out of 132 hospitals initially surveyed about the program, 120 expressed interest in participating. Eleven hospitals were chosen for the first phase of the program, with an additional 24 hospitals slated to join by the end of 2015.
AstraZeneca is the founding sponsor of the ACC Patient Navigator Program.

The decriminalisation of abortion in New Zealand will save the taxpayer millions, a leading doctor says.
The Government has spent more than $20 million since 2012 paying specialist doctors to sign off on abortions.
But one specialist has called the process "cruel", and says a 40-year-old law necessitating the exercise needs to change.
Under the Crimes Act, it is illegal for a woman to have an abortion in New Zealand unless it has been approved by two highly-paid specialist doctors, called certifying consultants.
But one such doctor, Helen Paterson, an obstetrician and gynaecologist at Dunedin Hospital, says the question of whether an abortion should or should not be performed ought to be matter for the woman and her GP to decide.
She says a change in law will save the taxpayer millions.
More importantly, Paterson says, it will make the currently "dysfunctional" process of having an abortion less time consuming and stressful for women.
The Ministry of Justice has spent $20,711,714 paying certifying consultants to sign off on abortions between 2012 and 2016.
In the 12 months to June 2016 alone, the figure was $3,716,766.
Spread evenly between the country's 159 certifying consultants, that's $23,376 per doctor each year, for an exercise that Paterson says takes between 10 and 15 minutes.
Consultations cost $146.50 by interview or examination and $63 by telephone. The money is paid by the Ministry of Justice either directly to the consultant, or to the private practice they are part of.
"I am coming in and talking to the women. Literally all I am going to do is need her to sign a piece of paper," Paterson says.
*$20,711,714 spent on certifying consultants signing off abortions since 2012.
*$3,716,766 was spent in the 12 months to June 2016.
*13,155 abortions were performed over that period.
*10-15 minutes is the time it takes for a consultant to sign off on an abortion.
*$146.50 for an interview or examination with a consultant or $63 by telephone.
The Minister of Justice Amy Adams says the costs are necessary and in accordance with the law.
But president of the Abortion Law Reform Association of New Zealand (ALRANZ), Terry Bellamak, says the process is costing the taxpayer millions of dollars that don't need to be spent.
"Money that's going towards certifying consultants is money that's going towards a box ticking exercise. It's empty, it's wasted."
Last week Paterson wrote to the Abortion Supervisory Committee, which oversees the appointment of certifying consultants, saying her views on abortion have changed.
"I intend to work towards the decriminalisation of abortion and the reform of New Zealand's abortion laws," she wrote.
This puts Paterson's job at risk, as her view is outside of the law, which says certifying consultants must lie somewhere between two "extremes" of opinion on abortion: That an abortion should not be performed in any circumstances; and that the question of whether an abortion should or should not be performed in any case is entirely a matter for the woman and a doctor to decide.
But Paterson believes the system discriminates women and sacrifices patient care in order to satisfy the "archaic requirements of a 40-year-old law," which needs to change.
She called the system dysfunctional, and said it was her responsibility to make New Zealanders aware of this.
For women living outside of main centres, the requirement for approval of two certifying consultants can be not only inconvenient, but stressful and costly.
"If you live on the West Coast, you have to travel to Christchurch, have your two certifying consultants sign your form, stay overnight probably, possibly two nights. I'm pretty sure if you ask those women if that was easy, from a standpoint of just the practicalities, they wouldn't feel that that was easy," Paterson says.
"For the actual process, someone described to me a situation of having to see seven people and explaining why she wanted to have an abortion. She saw a GP, she then saw someone for an ultrasound. Then had a counselling visit. She saw two certifying consultants, unfortunately the person doing the termination wasn't one of those certifying consultants, and she had to see the anaesthetist.
"That's not easy."
Green Party social development spokeswoman Jan Logie says the party trusts women to be able to make a decision with her GP.
The health system was already stretched, and money needed to be used more efficiently.
"We could easily, quickly save that money by decriminalising abortion," Logie says.
"It's 2017, one in four women in this country have had an abortion, I think it shows that most New Zealanders accept that having an abortion should not be a crime and it doesn't belong in our Crimes Act."
But for change, there needs to be political will, and Logie says this is something that's lacking in the current Government.
Prime Minister Bill English, an active Catholic, is well known for his opposition to abortion.
On Friday, he again reiterated that he is not seeking to change New Zealand's abortion laws, telling Family First "the law is how it is and we're not proposing to change it.
"Most people have a different view than I do about abortion. That's not just reflected in the law, but sort of the practice of it".
Justice Minister Amy Adams says it is important that women who need an abortion can access one.
But she said there were no plans to reform or rework current legislation, as she said the law was working "broadly as intended."
"The Government has a busy legislative programme focused on issues that affect large numbers of New Zealanders, such as family violence, money laundering and vulnerable children, to name just a few," Adams said.
"Any costs associated with certifying consultants are necessary and in accordance with the law."
Although she supports reform, Dr Carol Shand says the current law works well in places where there are doctors who are supportive, and make sure it works for women.
"A law designed to suppress abortion has been used to provide some very good quality services."
"It's not as horrific as some critics would like us to believe. The payments to the certifying consultants have inadvertently funded the services, because they've paid the doctors."
Before legislation was introduced in 1977, there was a significant number deaths related to illegal abortions. Since then, there have been none, Shand says.
She says consultants don't just approve abortions, but also do preliminary tests and preparations to ensure the process is safe.
In Wellington, a woman's doctor refers them to a service. There, they see a counsellor to talk through options. Then they will see two doctors over two days. These doctors check all information to provide a safe operation is available, and the process gives women time to consider the information she has been given. An appointment is made with the operating doctor, who is usually the second certifying consultant, and the operation takes place.
"In most places it's a very comfortable service for women," Shand says.
"Though the law isn't ideal, clinics use it to give women the best medical service possible."
Under the Crimes Act 1961, it is illegal for a woman to have an abortion, unless two certifying consultants have determined that continuing pregnancy will put her life at risk; that the child, if born, would be "severely handicapped"; if the pregnancy is the result of incest; or if the woman is "subnormal."
Professor Dame Linda Holloway, chair of the Abortion Supervisory Committee said some wording in the Act was "outdated and clumsy."
"It's an indictment that we've got a statue like that on the book that's not been corrected."
Holloway said that anti-abortion groups had taken advantage of outdated and confusing legislation to (unsuccessfully) take legal action against the committee, costing the Ministry of Justice $470,359.49 in legal fees since 2004.
She has called for changes to the law.
Under the Contraception, Sterilisation and Abortion Act 1977, certifying consultants are appointed by the Abortion Supervisory Committee. Those selected must have views on abortion that fall between the views that:
an abortion should not be performed in any circumstances, and:
that the question of whether an abortion should or should not be performed in any case is entirely a matter for the woman and a doctor to decide.
Dr Helen Paterson says her view, that a woman and her GP should be able to decide, puts her position as a certifying consultant at risk.
She calls the requirement for the approval by two consultants "cruel," especially for women who are sick and require an abortion.
"In those situations, as a second certifier, I am coming in and talking to the women. Literally all I am going to do is need her to sign a piece of paper. My requirement is to see that she does want to have an abortion. So, for a woman who actually doesn't want to have an abortion, really, but needs to have one, she has to meet me and say that she wants to have something that she doesn't really want to have, just to make it legal."
Correction: An earlier version of this story put the cost of a consultation at $282. This was inaccurate, and has been updated.

Info for Buyers
Purchasing at Quittenbaum
When buying at an auction, it is of utmost importance to have information about all the possibilities each buyer has at their disposal. In most cases, the coveted item is a one of a kind or at least very rare and the winner will be determined after these suspenseful minutes, when the auctioneer accepts bids from the floor, on the phones, and online. The highest bid receives the final knock-down.
Our specialists publish catalogues with excellent color photographs in the event of each auction. The items and works of art on offer are being presented with the help of concise descriptions according to art historical criteria and their respective estimates. You can purchase catalogues individually or by subscription online, via fax or mail.
Three weeks prior to the auction you can view all items on our website or via issue as online-catalogue.
Moreover, every object will be exhibited on our premises during the typical five-day viewing period for personal inspection.
Clients who cannot come personally can request condition reports and detailed photographs. We will be happy to offer advice individually and specifically.
Participating in the auction
There are several possibilities when taking part in the auction. If you wish to bid in the salesroom, our staff will provide you with a bidder number.
New customers are asked to bring their photo ID.
In case you are not able to participate in person you have the following possibilities:
Online live
Watch the course of the auction in real time on your computer, tablet or smartphone via the platforms of our partners. Go to 'Bidding live at liveauctioneers.com' or 'Bidding at invaluable.com' or 'Bidding at auction.fr', register in time, at least 24 hours prior to the start of the auction and bid online. One of our staff members will receive your bid and forward it to the auctioneer. Be sure to remember your passwords, as they will be valid for all upcoming auctions.
By absentee bids
Website: As early as three or four weeks prior to the auction, you have the possibility to place a maximum bid on our website. In order to do so, your registration is required. Go to 'buy'/'register' and fill in your personal data. Choose a password, which you will need for the customer login.
As a logged in customer you can leave a written bid: Choose the relevant auction and go to 'all lots'. Select the lot you would like to bid on and click on the 'bid'. Complete the bidding form and accept the conditions of sale and then send. You will receive an email with a confirmation concerning your bid. Placing, changing and cancelling bids online is only possible until six hours before the auction.
Bidding form: You can get a bidding form on our website or in our showroom and they are also enclosed in our printed catalogues. Complete our bidding form, indicate the auction number, the lot number, the item's title, your maximum bid, your personal data. Your bid will be used insofar as concurring bids require, thus the hammer price does not necessarily have to exhaust your maximum sum.
By telephone
Leave all data required with us, then we will call you from the salesroom a few minutes before your desired work of art will be up and bid on your behalf.
On the day of the auction
In general, the auctioneer calls up the item at a sum to 20% below its estimate, unless higher written bids are present already. Normally, bidding increases by 10%. Quittenbaum Art Auctions does a classic knock-down. The hammer falls in case a bid is not out-bid after having been called three times.
Low bids, which are below the reserve stipulated between the auctioneer and the consignor, can be accepted with reservations. The bidder is bound to their bid until four weeks after the day of the auction. If the consignor concurs, the purchase is finalized.
Objects bought at auction can be paid for and collected on-the-spot. Payment can be settled in cash, ec card or credit card (American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard or VISA), up to an amount of EURO 5,000. Please be aware that an additional charge of 3.5% for credit card payment will be levied. If the collection does not take place immediately, international bank transfer is also accepted. Please don't forget that a premium will be levied on the hammer price. The purchase price is made up of the hammer price plus a buyer's premium of 32% incl. statutory VAT. Upon request, we can indicate VAT separately. In this case, VAT of 19% is added to the hammer price and the premium of 25%.
Purchases leaving the EU are VAT-free, also if buyers are art dealers from the EU with a valid european VAT-number. 1.5% of the hammer price (plus VAT) may apply for purchases of 20th century fine art (paintings, prints, sculptures and photographs).
Pickup or transport
We can only hand over articles that have been paid for. You will receive a shipping form together with the invoice where you can indicate if you wish to collect in person, send your own shipper, or employ our partner freight-forwarding-company M2Logistik that specializes in art transport. Self collectors are asked to call us in advance. Freight-forward-companies need to announce pick-up by writing. The shipping form can be found here
Post auction sale
You have the possibility to purchase items that did not sell during the auction for their lower estimates during the four-week post auction sale. All items are on display and can be viewed during our regular opening hours.

In an editorial against the terrible idea of amending the First Amendment, the Editors of National Review write:
The phrase "stunning development" is used far too often in our politics, but here is an item that can be described in no other way: . . . congressional Democrats, frustrated by the fact that the Bill of Rights interferes with their desire to muzzle their political opponents, have proposed to repeal the First Amendment.
That is precisely what the so-called People's Rights Amendment would do. If this amendment were to be enacted, the cardinal rights protected by the First Amendment — free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom to petition the government for redress of grievances — would be redefined and reduced to the point of unrecognizability. The amendment would hold that the rights protected by the Constitution are enjoyed only by individuals acting individually; individuals acting in collaboration with others would be stripped of those rights. . . .
The so-called People's Rights Amendment would have some strange consequences: Newspapers, television networks, magazines, and online journalism operations typically are incorporated. So are political parties and campaign committees, to say nothing of nonprofits, business associations, and the like. Under the People's Rights Amendment, Thomas Friedman would still enjoy putative First Amendment protection, but it would not do him much good inasmuch as the New York Times Company, being a corporation, would no longer be protected by the First Amendment. . . .
One of the great dangers of such efforts to regulate political speech is that it puts incumbents in charge of setting the rules of the game under which their power and their position may be challenged. That is a recipe for abuse and corruption, and for smothering those critics who would draw attention to abuse and corruption.

world-class attractions.
Take a getaway without ever having to leave the city. Walk on the wild side at the Riverbanks
Zoo and Garden or walk through the Three Rivers Greenway, nine and half miles of beautiful
pathways that take you along the riverfront. Visit the South Carolina State House to learn more

Florida Senator and Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio stated that Republicans aren't the ones shutting down the government over Planned Parenthood, Democrats are on Thursday's "Sean Hannity Show."
Rubio said, "on the issue of Planned Parenthood, the work should have begun weeks ago laying the groundwork for this debate. Obviously, the House, the Senate should have laid the groundwork for this debate so that people understand that we're not just debating an organization here, that some people might think is a nice organization or whatever. We're organization — we're debating their practices. And here's the truth…the people who are threatening a shutdown [are] Barack Obama and his allies in the Senate. What they're arguing is, if the federal budget does not fully fund Planned Parenthood, I will veto the budget, and hence, shut down the government. That should be the message. Instead, it's always the reverse, the Republicans are going to shut down the government. No, we're not. We are in support of funding the government fully, just not giving any more money to this one organization that was just caught on video dismembering unborn children, or in one case, a child that had already been born alive, as Carly did very well last night outlining and describing the video. So, I don't understand why we accept this argument that we're the ones shutting it down. They're the ones shutting it down. It would be a Democratic filibuster and a presidential veto that would shut down the government, and it would be for the purpose of supporting one organization."
Rubio added, "no one can tell me that Planned Parenthood — funding Planned Parenthood as an organization is such a high priority that we have to do it, otherwise we won't fund government, that's absurd."

Computer numerical control (CNC) turning minimizes the opportunity for human error and is able to produce parts that have been machined with a margin of error of less than 0.001 inch.
Precision turned parts are cylindrical and machined from aluminum, titanium, brass, stainless steel, copper, polycarbonate, nylon and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Though cylindrical, these parts have many variations; for instance, the general shape may be contoured, fillet, tapered or pointed. They may receive a smooth finishing or be given a textured surface. Precision turning is critical for many parts to guarantee that they fit together and will function correctly; in some applications, even a small flaw or error can throw off the whole system, wasting valuable time and money.
Parts that are machined to very precise specifications will perform to higher standards. The demand for top quality parts is high; precision turning is an important process for parts such as rods, shafts, hubs, pulleys, bushings, couplings, housing, flanges, nozzles, tools and more. Precision turned parts are used in applications across many industries including the automotive, commercial, electronics, petroleum, defense, aerospace, marine and construction industries.
Precision turning is a fairly simple process. Computer-controlled turning is performed in machine shops. A round, square or hexagonal blank called a workpiece is attached to spindles on the machine that hold it firmly in place. The blank begins to spin and as it rotates, multiple automated cutting, drilling, notching and knurling tools attached to the machine apply the appropriate amount of pressure to shear away the material. The tools are powered by a motor located at the machine's base that acts as the power source for all operations.
These motors vary in horsepower in accordance with the size of the machine, the necessary speed and the material of the workpiece. Smoothing and finishing is completed and the part is removed from the machine. There is one major difference between turned and milled parts. During the machining process, turned parts are rotated and a stationary tool is applied whereas milled parts are held stationary while a tool rotates. There are two main pieces of equipment used to produce precision turned parts: screw machines or lathes. Both work in similar ways and are generally computer operated.
Screw machines have multiple spindles, which allows for the simultaneous machining of several parts. Lathes use a single spindle and a drill bit to cut away unnecessary material. CNC turning machines are quickly replacing conventional machines that require an operator with high levels of skill, knowledge and experience.

National Core Arts Standards live update – Wednesday October 3rd – 3:00 PM
Livestream link will be active on October 3rd at the link above.
National Coalition for Core Arts Standards (NCCAS) Issues Media Arts Materials
The Media Arts Team has posted two documents on the site. One is "Media Arts Position Paper" and the other is "Media Arts Frequently Asked Questions." http://nccas.wikispaces.com/NCCAS+and+Media+Arts
Lynn Tuttle, director of arts education for the Arizona Department of Education and the president of SEADAE – State Education Agency Directors of Arts Education, gave an update on the National Core Arts Standards work at AEP's (Arts Education Partnership http://www.aep-arts.org/) National Forum September 13-14 in Chattanooga, TN. She emphasized that the writing teams are trying to make the process transparent and drafts of the standards will be out in the spring. The standards will have embedded some curricular design and they are working with Jay McTighe and his wife Daisy who is a visual art teacher to embed some common core assessment examples. There will be a show case of student art available on the web for assessment.
National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Rocco Landesman also spoke at the Arts Education Partnership fall forum. http://www.arts.gov/index.html
In his opening address he said the following: "Arts must start behaving like other subjects. Before you break the rules you need to know what they are. There are knowledge and skills you need to know. Standards and assessment don't stifle creativity if done correctly, they enhance it."
He also said we set our expectations low and often fail, "We have a saying on Broadway – aim low and miss."
In a recent article in Education Week I was reminded of a way the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts affect the arts. This is a link to the article, "Common Core Reaches Into Science Classes, Survey Finds"
You can find the section of the common-core on Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects at the link below, by scrolling down to page 59. It includes standards for both reading and writing. http://www.corestandards.org/assets/CCSSI_ELA%20Standards.pdf
As I mentioned in an earlier post the arts are specifically mentioned as a "technical subject."
Technical subjects – A course devoted to a practical study, such as engineering, technology, design, business, or other workforce-related subject; a technical aspect of a wider field of study, such as art or music (p. 43 of Appendix A of Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects) http://www.corestandards.org/

Darren Keen joins me in the studio with a round of Tom Collins for this latest episode and brings a demo of his new record. We talk about how this local musician did things his own way and took his act, The Show Is The Rainbow all over the world and back. This one man show consists of Keen, his computer, and a video screen. He creates all his music and performs to tracks live while projecting his own home made video behind him.
His show is known for its artistic craziness with Keen sometimes sporting a shirtless chest and a single mic while engaging the audience with his beats and thrashing movements in front of his videos as he explores the deepest connection between himself and his music. A TSITR show can, and sometimes does, involve some levels of nudity, bloodshed, altered state of minds, screaming, dancing, bewilderment and most often enjoyment.
We explore subjects such as touring, the state of our local music scene, recording, hookers, blow, and pregnant whores.

9.4 Water Legislation in BC
While the Ministry of Environment is the lead provincial agency for water management, there is no single agency that is responsible for all aspects of water in BC. The myriad of statutes and regulations that govern water resources (Figure 9) are jointly administered by various agencies and departments across federal, provincial, and local levels. The existing governance framework in BC has been described as "a true patchwork of authorities and responsibilities inherited from days when water was taken for granted, and other resources, such as timber, minerals, and fish, were the main concern".2 The division of powers across all levels of government has been cited as a source of uncertainty and jurisdictional problems in water management (e.g., water pollution). Collective concern over a fragmented governance model for water management in BC has been one of the key influencing factors in prompting a review and modernization of BC's Water Act, which is currently underway.
9.4.1 Federal
Canada Water Act
9.4.2 Provincial
Water Act
Drinking Water Protection Act
There are two main types of planning to protect drinking water: Drinking Water Protection Plans and Assessment Response Plans. These are discussed in further detail in Chapter 6.

Noreen Corcoran sings "Life Has Its Funny Little Ups And Downs" to Donald O'Connor from the 1953 movie, I Love Melvin. Not only does it feature this catchy little song, but it includes Donald tap dancing on his roller skates, which starts up and ends… perhaps not down, but definitely with a smash.
Some of the best dancing from the archives: phenomenal swing and lindy hopping, the Haka Dance and, of course, the not-to-be-missed Nicholas Brothers.

For the last two years, Rhino in the US released the compilations in a very under-the-radar manner, not even listing the album on their own website.
This year, they are doing a proper job with Beyond the Horizon, releasing at the end of November and using Dmitri Vietze at RockPaperScissors to do the PR. Yesterday Dmitri asked me some questions for his press release, and the question came up, how many of these tracks are available to buy on iTunes or eMusic? And how many of the tracks (or artists) are available on YouTube?
Last year, Des very kindly compiled a list of all the YouTube entries for CD 1 and CD 2, and I don't have the nerve to ask him to do it again.
i wonder if anybody here has time to do any of this research, and if so to post the results in the applicable sections of this forum.
The album's booklet includes applicable MySpace links for the artists.

I know, I'm late in getting this out. Other than the muzzleloading rife I've already posted about, I made two other major purchases this week–posts for them are forthcoming. None of the major purchases, including the muzzleloader, were planned for this week. However, all three of them were things that have been on my list of things to buy for months.

Good morning Weather2020 bloggers,
The incredible cycling pattern is set for the season. We are moving into the second cycle of this year's features of this year's pattern. When will they return? What will they mean as we move through this winter season when they do return? Will California get blasted by massive winter storm systems as is being advertised by what is supposed to happen during a strong El Niño winter? We will be answering these questions in the next few days and weeks.
Here is the first cycle of this year's pattern, and likely the first ten days of the second cycle. The pattern that is developing this week will feature a pretty big warm-up across a large part of the nation, and then within the next week a big change will happen.
The pattern forming now is quite similar to close to 50 days ago. There is a signature "look" to the pattern that we have been waiting on, and it appears to be showing up in next weeks storm system. How will it actually set up, and what areas will be targeted by the warm side of this storm, and which areas will be targeted by the cold side of this storm is yet to be determined. We do know that the AO and NAO indexes have continued to be positive and this favors a more unblocked and farther north track. This is not set in stone yet, so let's see how it evolves in the coming days.
You can see this storm on the computer models now. On this model from the midnight run of last night's GFS model an upper low is forecast to develop over Utah by one week from tonight. The models have varying strengths of this system, but most of them now track it north of Kansas City. For it to snow in KC we will need the main disturbance to track farther south than the trend has been showing, and this is a possibility. We do have, however, a split of the southwestern Canada coast forecast to develop, and the northern stream continues to be rather flat:
Now, before we even get to this storm, take a look at the warm pattern we are in this week:
We have what is called a mostly zonal jet stream, from west to east, but by the end of the week a big dip in the flow is forecast to develop:
Before we get to any significant changes in the winter direction we have a big warming trend first. Take a look at this level, the 850 mb forecast (5,000 feet up) showing the lack of any cold air:
This is a warm pattern out ahead of next week's change and temperatures will likely get close to record highs in many areas. The AO is forecast to dip into negative territory next week, and I have seen some model runs start to block up the pattern. It is something we have to monitor closely as it could have an impact on next week's storm.
Have a great day, and thank you for participating in the LRC Forecast Experience Blog. Have you entered our contest yet. You have one more week to enter as we are forecasting for the Christmas week. Click here to enter: Long Range Weather Forecast Contest

But in 2016, microsurgery at the Mayo Clinic finally relieved the discomfort that had plagued her for so long. "Width =" 805 "height =" 453 "/>
Joni Carithers had to cope with swelling of the arm due to lymphoedema for years after breast cancer surgery. But in 2016, microsurgery at the Mayo Clinic finally relieved the discomfort that had tormented her for so long.
Joni Kay Carithers is the kind of person who does not let anything move, not even Lymphedema . The 53-year-old real estate agent was living with the disease since 1998, after a mastectomy of his right breast and ablation of 21 lymph nodes from his arm.
"In a month of breast cancer surgery my right hand and my entire arm up to my shoulder became very swollen," says Joni.
For years she has been treating the chronic swelling caused by lymphoedema as best as she can. But when her mother-in-law sent her a pamphlet about a procedure that might be helpful, called lympho-venous bypass she was intrigued. Mayo Clinic is one of the few centers in the country to offer this minimally invasive microsurgery.
"I knew it was a relatively new surgery, but I was excited about it," Joni says. She decided that a six-hour trip to the Florida campus of the Mayo Clinic to meet the plastic surgeon and reconstructor Antonio Forte, MD, Ph.D. was well worth worth it to be driven.
"Despite having lymphedema for years, Joni was an extremely motivated patient who never lost hope of improving her condition," Dr. Forte says. "I was confident that we could significantly improve its quality of life with this microsurgical technique."
Obstruction of everyday life
Lymphedema, which affects approximately 20% of people with breast cancer, occurs when the fluid accumulates and causes swelling in an arm or leg because the lymphatic vessels of the body do not can not adequately drain the liquid. Lymphedema is often caused by ablation or involvement of lymph nodes as part of a treatment for cancer.
To fight the condition after his surgery, Joni began physical therapy and began wearing a compression sleeve and glove to reduce swelling. But she had a habit of being very active – walking four miles a day, mowing the lawn and doing house remodeling projects. These activities would cause a lot of discomfort in his right arm.
Shortly after moving to Lake Lanier, Ga., In 2001, Joni also realized that lymphoedema significantly affected her ability to enjoy new hobbies, including boating.
"Despite having lymphoedema for years, Joni was an extremely motivated patient who never despaired of improving her health and I was confident that we could significantly improve its quality of life with this microsurgical technique. " – Antonio Forte, M.D., Ph.D.
"At one point, I stopped all physical activity for six weeks and I worked with a physiotherapist to relieve lymphedema," says Joni.
Unfortunately, the disease persisted. In 2007, Joni bought a machine that could massage his arm and help his body drain excess fluid. Although it provided some relief, Joni still had to wear compression garments every day.
"Logistically, it was embarrassing, if I prepared to prepare dinner, I had to remove them," she says. "Plus, I had to replace them frequently because they would get dirty by doing gardening jobs and home projects."
Watch a New Possibility
In the hope of finding another treatment, Joni occasionally asked her physiotherapists if they knew of any other solutions. And she continued to do her own research. So when she received information from her stepmother about the possibility that ectopic circulation might help her, Joni was eager to meet Dr. Forte and learn more.
At the appointment, Dr. Forte explained to Joni that during the procedure, they would establish a new connection between a lymphatic vessel and a vein, bypassing the blockage of his lymphatic system and allowing the excess fluid to escape. flow properly.
"I knew by the way he was explaining everything, that my arm would be better when I was out of surgery," says Joni. "He is very kind, very intelligent, he looks you in the eyes and wants to make sure you understand, he's a great doctor."
"I thought it would be the best place to do something like that, I never thought of going anywhere else." – Joni Carithers
On February 11, 2016, Dr. Forte made a few small incisions in Joni's arm. Then, with the help of a single microscope, he started bypassing the blockage that caused him lymphedema. Magnification was needed during the procedure because the involved lymphatic vessels and veins measured less than one millimeter.
"The magnification is 15 times higher than a normal image," says Dr. Forte, who uses a brittle needle with a finer suture than a hair to create the new connection between the lymphatic vessel and a vein that provides a path for the liquid to flow.
Because of the size of ships, precision is essential to success. So, too, is a limited movement during surgery. "Any tremor or movement is also magnified 15 times, so a bump or shock can cause a tear in the tiny vessels," says Dr. Forte.
Reaching His Resolution
Once the five-hour process was over, Joni returned home the same day. Recovery, she says, was easy.
"I'm grateful that there's finally a way to drain the liquid," says Joni. "The swelling of my arm was reduced by 70% compared to when I went to see Dr. Forte."
His goal of stopping wearing compression garments became a reality six months after the operation.
"I'm excited to go out on the boat and not have gloves and sleeves," says Joni. She is even more excited not to wear them at her daughter's wedding.
Joni is grateful to be moving forward with her life without congestion of lymphedema, with the help of her Mayo Clinic team.
"Mayo had always been where you were when you were not able to get answers elsewhere," she said. "I thought it would be the best place to do something like that, I never thought of going anywhere else."

Hi,, odd behavior on executing any of the rrunner actions on Datacap 8.1 Fix back 2. rrCompar or rrset all not working... executing rrset("1","@B.MainPageVar") will not add the variable on Batch Level. executing rrCompare( "1","@B.MainPageVar") will always be True. the following log when try to executing the compare... /execute statement On Action Start 10:39:25.447 (0) t:146C p:22B0F08 Datacap Smart Parameter object not found 10:39:25.447 (0) t:146C p:22B0F08 Datacap Smart Parameter object not found
Answer by RickWilson (6949) | Apr 24, 2017 at 02:38 PM
The action rrset (1,@B.MainPageVar) should first create a variable (property) at the batch level if it does not already exist, then set that value to 1. Just to be clear, this is a variable, not a field. I would need to see a full log to provide any more details. It is normal for there to have some type of Smart Parameter not found message from processing the first parameter.
If after processing this action, you do not see a MainPageVar property in the xml, then a PMR would be needed to investigate the cause.

Thanks Rick,,,
i did the scenario on Travel Docs Application on same environment.. on page ID rule set refer to attached snipe "F1"
its should set variable "MatchType" on Page level but nothing. pleas see the PageID.xml and the padeid_rss.log both in pageid.zip the page Id result on image "F2"
you can see its not ruining correctly.
Answer by jfernan147 (4089) | Apr 25, 2017 at 10:29 AM
There seems to be some problem with the fingerprint directory based on that log. Maybe an access problem or something.
For the first page: Ultimately, SetFingerprintDir action is not working correctly. This causes the FindFingerprint action to fail, so the rrset there isn't called. It then goes to the next function, but the words car and pickup are not found, so it goes to the next function but there is no pattern match identified either, so it exits the rule without ever calling any of the rrset actions.
For page 2, no rules are executed at all, because the rule is assigned to the Other page type, but the page is not of type other. It has been changed to Rental Agreement. Was this batch run through PageId multiple times perhaps? Maybe the page was identified on the first run.
Since rrset is never actually being called in this log, it is hard to tell if it is working correctly or not .

Orthopedics, also called orthopedic surgery, is an annex of general surgery practice. It specifically addresses conditions and illnesses associated with the body's musculoskeletal system — which includes bones, tendons, joints, nerves, and muscles. Having once dealt primarily with children, orthopedic surgeons now have extended the practice to include all age groups, indiscriminately.
Based on the needs of patients, an orthopedic surgeon may provide either noninvasive treatment or perform surgical procedures to treat degenerative diseases, sports injuries, infections and many other musculoskeletal conditions. Two of the most common surgical procedures are knee and hip replacement.
When a patient's knee becomes damaged beyond repair within the scope of normal surgical means, an orthopedic surgeon may perform knee replacement surgery. In this procedure, the weight bearing parts of the knee get replaced with cadaver pieces and artificial parts. Patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis who may have knee fragments disfigured as a result, also benefit from this surgery. Recovery time is long and intense. Physical rehabilitation is most times a mandatory part of recovery following surgery.
Similar to knee deterioration, hips can become damaged with long-term wear and abuse. Also, there is vulnerability to natural loss of bone mass that is a physiological by-product of aging. When the hip becomes severely damaged or unbearably painful to the exhaust of non-surgical methods to bring the patient relief, an orthopedic surgeon may replace the hip with an artificially manufactured one. With recent technological and procedural achievements, this particular surgery has been effective eliminating patients' pain and restores any prior deprivation of movement in the joints.
Having gone through tumultuous, supplementary surgical training for several years following his completion of the Australian's educational standard, Gregory (Greg) Finch, is an orthopedic surgeon endorsed by FRACS (Fellow of the Royal Australasian College) and is included in an elite group of qualified surgeons within "The Lucky Country." He currently works at Sunshine Coastal Hospital and Health Service. Greg Finch started his career in Pediatric Orthopedics back in the early 90s at Shriners Hospital for Children.
While Greg Finch has skills in general orthopedics, his subspecialty is spinal orthopedics and trauma surgery. He has advanced skills in the areas of spinal decompression, spinal tumor surgery, cervical surgery and spinal stenosis, among others. Greg Finch has worked with some of the world's leaders in the specialty of spine surgery beyond the borders of Australia, including the U.S. and Germany. Aside from his extensive and reputable work in his area of expertise, Greg Finch also conducts business in the field of medico-legal.

It comes with the fantastic TFV12 Prince tank and it's a great starter kit for any category of vaper – from beginners to pros.
Packaging and contents
The SMOK Majesty Luxe kit comes packed in a standard presentation box. Inside you will find the mod, the Prince tank, two coils, replacement glass tube, spare parts, micro-USB cable, and the user manual. The kit can essentially be purchased in one of these two options: the carbon fiber version – available in four different colors, and the cobra resin version also available in four colors.
The design
The SMOK Majesty Luxe kit has been built around the idea of luxury and it's really beautiful. Prism Gold and Prism Chrome really stand out, regardless if you get them in carbon fiber or cobra resin. The drip of the tank matches the overall color scheme and it's definitely a kit to get you noticed.
The mod has a spring loaded 510 connector on top, and it will accommodate atomizers up to 30mm in diameter without overhang. The device measures 85mm x 46mm x 30mm and has a total weight of 162 grams, without batteries. The fire bar is placed on the side and the display, up/down buttons, and micro-USB slot on the front.

Main features
The SMOK Majesty Luxe is a variable wattage box mod with temperature control features. Output range is between 6 – 225W and from 200 – 600F in TC mode. It will fire down to 0.1 Ohms and maximum voltage is 9V. Temperature control includes presets for Nickel, Titanium and Stainless Steel as well as a TCR profile for various other materials. With the pre-heat function it's easy to get those big coils up to temperature, especially in the case of dual Claptons.
The TFV12 Prince tank
The Prince tank has to be SMOK's best cloud chucker so far. It can hold up to 8ml of e-liquids with the bulb glass section and has a diameter of 28mm down the base. It's made from stainless steel and Pyrex glass and features adjustable airflow and top fill.
One of the most remarkable features of this sub ohm tank is its coils. Both the 0.4 Ohm and the 0.12 Ohm version deliver stellar vapor and flavor is top notch. They cope with high VG juices perfectly and seem to last for a very long time.
In terms of performance the SMOK Majesty Luxe kit absolutely shines. It's the perfect combination between looks and power and the tank is hands down one of the best we tried. The mod feels nice in the hand, it's easy to use and the colorful OLED display is a big pro. All in all, one of the most beautiful starter kits we ever had on our desk.
