General Election 2019: Has your local Facebook group been hijacked by politics?
Up and down the UK, moderators are grappling with an upsurge in political debate.
3D printing can keep aging Air Force aircraft flying
Glenn House and his colleagues spent more than four years making a new toilet for the B-1 Lancer. The challenge wasn't fitting the john into the cockpit (it went behind the front left seat) but ensuring that every part could handle life aboard a plane that can pull five Gs, break the sound barrier, and spend hours in wildly fluctuating temperatures. The end result didn't just have to work. It had to work without rattling, leaking, or revealing itself to enemy radar. Getting it OK'd for use aboard the bomber was just as complex as making it. "Getting a part approved can take years," says House, the cofounder and president of Walpole, Massachusetts-based 2Is Inc.
Until last year, 2Is was in the military parts business, furnishing replacement bits for assorted defense equipment. (Pronounced "two eyes," it sold off the parts business and now focuses on defense-related supply-chain software.) Providing spare parts for the military is a peculiar niche of the economy. Things like aircraft and submarines spend decades in service, and the companies that made them or supplied their myriad parts often disappear long before their products retire. So when something needs a new knob, seat, or potty, the military often turns to companies that specialize in making them anew.

A nebbishy bank teller discovers he's trapped in a video game in Free Guy
A lowly bank teller discovers he's actually a non playable character in an open-world video game in Free Guy, a forthcoming film from 20th Century Fox. Director Shawn Levy debuted the first trailer this weekend at the 2019 Comic Con Experience (CCXP) in Sao Paulo, Brazil, describing it as "a superhero origin story except without the tights, powers, or pre-existing IP," according to Deadline Hollywood. Stars Ryan Reynolds and Joe Keery (Steve Harrington on Stranger Things) were also on hand for the event.
Per the official synopsis, Free Guy is about "a bank teller who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, decides to become the hero of his own story…one he rewrites himself. Now in a world where there are no limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way…before it is too late."
The trailer opens with cheery bank teller Guy (Reynolds) waking up and heading to work. He remains completely unfazed as he encounters all manner of bizarre occurrences en route: shootouts, explosions, a guy with a flame-thrower, and his pal Joe getting thrown through a storefront window. ("Whoa-ho! Mondays! Amirite, Joe?")

Bernie Sanders vows to break up huge ISPs and regulate broadband prices
Presidential candidate and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders yesterday released a plan to overhaul the US broadband market by breaking up giant providers, outlawing data caps, regulating broadband prices, and providing $150 billion to build publicly owned networks.
"The Internet as we know it was developed by taxpayer-funded research, using taxpayer-funded grants in taxpayer-funded labs," the Sanders plan said. "Our tax dollars built the Internet, and access to it should be a public good for all, not another price-gouging profit machine for Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon."
If enacted, Sanders' "High-Speed Internet for All" plan would be the polar opposite of the Trump administration's treatment of broadband companies and far more aggressive than the regulatory approach of the Obama administration. Sanders pledged to "use existing antitrust authority to break up Internet service provider and cable monopolies," specifically by "bar[ring] service providers from also providing content and unwind anticompetitive vertical conglomerates."

The Aeronauts brings the joy and perils of Victorian ballooning to vivid life
Just in time for the holiday season, Amazon Studios has released The Aeronauts, a soaring historical adventure film about the perils faced by a Victorian scientist and a balloonist attempting to fly higher than anyone before them. Granted, the characters might be a bit thinly drawn when it comes to emotional depth, and the earth-bound first act is solid, if unremarkable, period drama. However, once the film (literally) gets off the ground, it blossoms into a gripping, thoroughly entertaining epic tale of survival at punishing altitudes. Above all, the film looks spectacular; every frame is practically a canvas, painted in vibrant, almost Disney-esque hues.
(Some spoilers below.)
The Aeronauts is a fictionalized account of a historic balloon flight by pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher. He and his pilot, Henry Coxwell, made several balloon flights to measure the temperature and humidity of the upper atmosphere between 1862 and 1866. Armed with scientific instruments and bottles of brandy, Glaisher and Coxwell set a world-altitude record, reaching an estimated 38,999 feet (11,887 meters) on September 5, 1862. They were the first men to reach the atmospheric stratosphere, and they did it without the benefit of oxygen tanks, pressure suits, or a pressurized cabin.

No one knows why rocks are exploding from asteroid Bennu
For the last year, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has been circling a large asteroid named Bennu that regularly passes uncomfortably close to Earth. The spacecraft has been painstakingly mapping the asteroid's rocky surface using a suite of cameras and other instruments that will help it determine where to land next year. Once NASA selects a final landing site, OSIRIS-REx will kiss Bennu just long enough to scoop up a sample to bring back to Earth in 2023.
Many scientists expect the Bennu sample to revolutionize our understanding of asteroids, especially those that are near Earth and pose the greatest threat from space to life as we know it. But as detailed in a paper published this week in Science, NASA has already started making surprising discoveries around this alien world. Earlier this year, the OSIRIS-REx team witnessed particles exploding from the asteroid's surface—and the team's not sure why.
"No one has ever seen an active asteroid up close like this," says Carl Hergenrother, an astronomer at the University of Arizona and the scientist who proposed Bennu as the target for OSIRIS-REx. "It wasn't that long ago that the conventional wisdom was that asteroids are these dead bodies that didn't change very much."

Floor pavements in Pompeii illustrate surveying technology
Decorative pavements in the floor of a recently unearthed Roman house in Pompeii offer a glimpse into the life and work of an ancient land surveyor. The pavements depict a stylized drawing of an ancient surveyor's tool called a groma, along with a diagram of a surveying technique and the plan of a construction project in Pompeii. So far, they're the only original Roman illustrations of the tools and techniques the Romans used to help build an empire and its infrastructure.The land surveyor's house
Only a few metal fragments of a Roman groma exist today (also recovered from Pompeii), and archaeologists have found only a few images carved into surveyors' tombstones. Otherwise, we know the tool only from descriptions in medieval versions of ancient Roman surveying manuals.
The newly unearthed pavements at Pompeii suggest that those medieval copies were pretty close to the original ancient texts. An image on the floor of the entrance hall is nearly identical to illustrations in medieval copies of Roman texts, attributed to Roman surveyor Hygius and famed architect Vitruvius.

Jury sides with Elon Musk in "pedo guy" defamation case
A Los Angeles federal jury has found Elon Musk not liable for defamation in a lawsuit brought by British caver Vernon Unsworth. Musk dubbed Unsworth a "pedo guy" in a tweet last year but argued in court that he meant this as a generic insult—not as an accusation that Unsworth was a pedophile.
"My faith in humanity is restored," Musk reportedly said on his way out of court.
Musk and Unsworth have been trading insults since last July, when Unsworth mocked a miniature submarine SpaceX engineers created to help rescue a dozen boys trapped in a cave in Thailand (it didn't arrive in time to be useful). In an interview with CNN, Unsworth said that Musk should "stick his submarine where it hurts."

On the day of a key test, Russia trolls Boeing's Starliner mission
On Friday, Boeing and United Launch Alliance conducted a number of key tests in preparation for the launch of the Starliner spacecraft later this month.
During this "Integrated Day of Launch," flight controllers in Houston and Florida monitored data as the spacecraft and its United Launch Alliance rocket practiced fueling as if the booster were about to launch. During this test, the Atlas V rocket was loaded with propellants, and the countdown was taken to the final second at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Boeing and United Launch Alliance said this wet dress rehearsal was successful and that they remain on track for a December 20 launch. This Starliner uncrewed mission is a precursor to a flight with astronauts that will follow several months later.

Hulu is finally offering 4K and 5.1 audio on Roku devices
The long, give-and-take saga of 4K streaming on Hulu continues with the addition of 4K streaming for supported Roku devices. Hulu also added 5.1 surround sound capabilities on Roku.
The Disney-owned streaming platform updated its user-facing help pages with the information sometime in the past few days. Previously, only 1080p streaming was possible with the Hulu app on Roku devices, despite many Roku devices' hardware support for 4K. Unfortunately, Hulu still does not support HDR.
It's been a rocky road for 4K on Hulu. The service first offered 4K streaming on select titles for some devices in 2016, then removed support in 2018. It was then re-added on some devices like the Apple TV 4K, but it was not available on Roku sticks or boxes.

Newly discovered Mac malware uses "fileless" technique to remain stealthy
Hackers believed to be working for the North Korean government have upped their game with a recently discovered Mac trojan that uses in-memory execution to remain stealthy.
In-memory execution, also known as fileless infection, never writes anything to a computer hard drive. Instead, it loads malicious code directly into memory and executes it from there. The technique is an effective way to evade antivirus protection because there's no file to be analyzed or flagged as suspicious.
In-memory infections were once the sole province of state-sponsored attackers. By 2017, more advanced financially motivated hackers had adopted the technique. It has become increasingly common since then.

Halo Reach on PC is the customizable combat we've been wanting—but just barely
Years of teases and waiting have finally ended with this: Halo is back on PC in officially supported fashion.
In particular, this week's launch of 2011's Halo Reach on Windows PC is fascinating because of how it compares to the last time Microsoft tried the Halo-on-PC thing. Rewind to 2007, and Microsoft shoved out a Halo 2 port that required both Games For Windows Live and Windows Vista to run—and shipped in mod-unfriendly fashion. It received nary a patch or useful update and left diehard fans scrambling to patch it into decent shape.
Compare that to Halo Reach, which is still a Windows-only game but works on any Microsoft OS from Windows 7 and up and can be purchased either on the Windows Store or Steam. If you pay for Xbox Game Pass on PCs, you get it day-and-date via Windows Store. If you buy it on Steam, meanwhile, you get one heckuva cool option already: total mod support. Simply pick the game's "cheat detection disabled" option upon boot and you can fiddle with every relevant file (within a "friends-only" online sandbox, which is fair enough).

The "burp-talking" in Rick and Morty isn't as meaningless as you might think
Eccentric mad scientist Rick Sanchez, of Rick and Morty fame, is as notorious for his constant mid-speech belching as he is for his brilliantly eccentric inventions—and for routinely dragging grandson Morty into highly dangerous situations. Now, paralinguistic researcher Brooke Kidner of the University of Southern California has made the first acoustical analysis of Rick's unique speech patterns. She described her work at a meeting of the Acoustical Society of America this week in San Diego.
"Paralinguistics have been shown to carry significant meaning when inserted into conversation, and being able to understand the meanings of these less common sounds can lead to a greater understanding of natural language processing," Kidner said at a press conference.
Kidner's unusual study began with a phonetics seminar course at USC, focusing on non-speech sounds that occur in human speech—groans, gasps, sighs, the infamous "Loser!" sneeze, and so forth—and how we attribute meaning to them (sarcasm, for instance). The instructor noted that burps were an example of non-speech sounds with no meaning. Kidner brought up Rick Sanchez's constant mid-sentence burps in Rick and Morty as a counter-argument, and the instructor encouraged her to investigate further.

This is the final blog post in a three-part series of blog posts. Over the last few weeks, I have been trying to explain different clauses that you will find in photographers' contracts. Some of them are widely accepted and completely normal, some of them you should absolutely expect and not sign a contract that lacks these clauses, and some are on the verge of unethical… at least in my opinion.
The first post covered those you need. In fact, if your contract short of any of these key clauses, you shouldn't sign it. It's an incomplete contract and is not a clear meeting of the minds and you may be operating on a handshake on certain parts of the photographer's products and/or services.
The second post, Part 2, covered clauses that are standard and are neither really hurtful or helpful. The clauses covered in this post just completes the photographer's expectations and lays out how specific terms or tasks will work.
This post, my last post in this series, will cover those you want to stay away from… at all costs. Again, if a photographer is choosing to include them in their contract, I can't understand that their reasoning is fair or that they are confident in their ability to deliver a acceptable product or experience to you, their customer.
Common Clauses in Your Wedding Photography Contract Explained
Some of the clauses I've listed below may seem ludicrous to include in a professional wedding photography contract, but be warned, they are real! I do not include any of these clauses in my agreement, and I never would. However, there are those who are emboldened enough to do so. To each his own, I guess, but I personally believe that these clauses are not in the best interest of the wedding client.
- No Written Contract
- Expecting a photographer, or any vendor for that matter, to perform a very complex series of tasks leading up to your wedding day without a written list of expectations is risky—very risky. Stay clear of any vendor who does not offer and require a written agreement to perform their duties. If they're willing to operate on a promise and a handshake, expect to be surprised, let down, and disappointed. A written agreement gives you a clear and concise expectation from your photographer. DO NOT hire a photographer (or really any wedding vendor) without a written agreement.
- Equipment Failure Clause
- What the what? When I discovered that some photographers were including this clause in their contracts it led me to believe two things: one, they did not have backup equipment; and two, they were shooting the most important days in people's lives all by themselves. If a photographer has to cover their rear by listing camera failure as a possibility and then NOT being responsible for that likely possibility, they are generally not prepared to shoot the sanctity of your wedding day. I get it. They don't want to be responsible. But, there are ways to prevent this from happening without casually shrugging off the responsibility. (Hint: multiple camera bodies, multiple shooters, multiple shooters WITH multiple camera bodies! What are the chances that four or five camera bodies are all going to go caput on the same day?)
- Vague or Ambiguous Clauses
- If someone if going through the trouble to put together a written agreement, it needs to be deliberate, detailed, and descriptive. Be cautious of clauses like "deliver images in approximately one month." This could mean 30 days or 90 days or even longer. You want a drop dead deadline in your contract like, "Digital proofs will be delivered 30 days after your wedding date." This way, there is no room for ambiguity.
- If someone if going through the trouble to put together a written agreement, it needs to be deliberate, detailed, and descriptive. Be cautious of clauses like "deliver images in approximately one month." This could mean 30 days or 90 days or even longer. You want a drop dead deadline in your contract like, "Digital proofs will be delivered 30 days after your wedding date." This way, there is no room for ambiguity.
- Proofing Galleries for a Limited Time
- This is nothing more than a pressure tactic. A photographer who deploys this practice is trying to pressure you into making rushed decisions as to what images you will purchase. These clauses also usually include a "reposting" fee to put your gallery back online should your ordering phase expire. "Taking the gallery down" is normally accomplished by manually adding an expiration link to your gallery at the time of publishing. "Reposting your gallery" is usually accomplished by removing that expiration date. Charging a fee to turn a gallery off and on is not a good business practice in my humble opinion. However, with that being said, you don't want to wait forever to order prints or albums from your wedding day. Order them while you still have an emotional attachment, while your photographer still has them on their hard drive (some delete, I don't), and possible, while your photographer is still in business. I once read that the average life expectancy of a wedding photography business is less than three years.
- Feed Me or Else
- I think this is another unacceptable clause. Feeding wedding guests is expensive… sometimes upwards of $100 a plate. Some photographers include a clause that demands to be fed the exact same plate that the guests are being fed. If they don't receive that, they reserve the right to leave for an entire HOUR to eat dinner. I actually find this ludicrous. Yes, I may be at your wedding venue for eight or more hours. But I still don't expect any of my wedding clients to feed me. However, I do expect to know whether or not I am being fed a plate. I'm showing up with a team of three. I only need to know whether or not to pack our own food. And chances are that I'll be with you over the lunch hour too. I'm not expecting lunch AND dinner.
- Non-Disparagement Clauses
- If someone does a job badly, they deserve a bad review. Yes, there may be some clients who are impossible to please. (This is what consultations and client interviews are for.) But barring a client from leaving a bad review no matter what kind of service is provided is unethical. There has to be some sort of repercussion when a vendor performs unsatisfactorily. If you see this clause in a wedding photography contract, you can just imagine what kind of bad reviews never saw the light of day.
My best advice would be to steer clear of any photographer who includes just one of these clauses in their contract. Do not sign this contract. Continue looking for a skilled, reputable, trustworthy photographer who will deliver the very best products, service and experience without completely bending the odds and favors their way—without any real regard for the actual quality or dependability of their service.
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times—professional photography is a muddy industry. Literally anyone can claim to be a professional. All you have to do is purchase an entry-level DSLR camera and claim a something-or-another photography handle on any social media platform and BAM! you're in business. When shopping for your once-in-a-lifetime photographer, get educated! Learn what you need to know to make the best decision possible to hire the most capable photographer within your means to capture the most precious images to preserve your life's legacy! This literally includes the written words… the contractual obligations!

First Circular
The 19th International Symposium on Small Particles and Inorganic Clusters (ISSPIC-19)
Dear Colleagues:
We are pleased to announce the 19th International Symposium on Small Particles and Inorganic Clusters (ISSPIC-19) to be held at the Hangzhou International Conference Center in the beautiful city of Hangzhou, China from Sunday 12 August through Friday 17 August 2018. We warmly invite you to join us at Hangzhou.
ISSPIC-19 will be held at the Hangzhou International Conference Center (HICC), located within a 10-minute subway ride from downtown Hangzhou. HICC was also one of the official sites of the 2016 G20 meeting hosted by China. The golden-ball exterior of HICC is now a landmark of the city of Hangzhou. The International Conference Hall of HICC features 600 theater-style seats, providing an ideal venue for ISSPIC-19.
Hangzhou is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in China with its famous West Lake and beautiful surroundings. The city of Hangzhou covers 683 square kilometers and has a population of 1.69 million people. Hangzhou is one of the cradles of the Chinese civilization. Humans were known to have lived and prospered in this land 4700 years ago, called "Liangzhu Culture". Hangzhou, famous for its historical and cultural heritages, is one of the seven ancient Chinese capitals. The city has a history of more than 2200 years since it was established as a county by the First Emperor Qin.
Hangzhou is easily accessible, within just one hour, by high-speed rail from Shanghai. There are frequent high-speed trains between Shanghai and Hangzhou (roughly every 15 minutes). There are daily direct flights from Shanghai to all major cities in the world. The Hangzhou International Airport, situated 27 kilometers from the city center, is also accessible from Amsterdam, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Domestic flights and railway connections from Hangzhou include all major cities of China, making it very convenient for additional travels within China either before or after the conference.

The practice page is in the process of being updated.
There is a technical problem with the F&FT results and we have notified NHS Digital to try and get update figures for this page.
The FFT is a contractual requirement for health environments, which helps to gain insight into the patient experience. It is a governmental initiative which was introduced during 2014/2015. Patients are able to feedback regarding the service that they have received by answering two questions. See: Friend & Family Test.
The results are anonymous and are collated and discussed with the Patient Participation Group. This enables the PPG and the surgery to work together with patient feedback to look at ways of improving the service that is provided.
The results that were received during the month of January were discussed with the PPG at the meeting on 19th February.
The PPG proposed the following actions which were agreed with the surgery:
1. Patients need to be better informed about the FFT
2. Patients need to be better informed about the website and its functions
3. Notices should be displayed regarding both the website and the FFT.
Patient Survey Report 2013-2014 Action Plan :
44.6% of patients feel that it is 'fairly easy' to obtain an appointment.
20.4% of patients feel that it is 'not very easy' to obtain an appointment.
- In February we made significant changes to the appointment provision in response to patient feedback. We felt it appropriate to change to a triage system especially in the mornings in order to ensure that all patients are able to access a clinician 'on the day'. We will continue to monitor the use and availability of appointments and respond to trends affecting the daily demand.
26.1% of patients feel that they 'have to wait a bit too long' for their appointment.
It is recognised that keeping to appointment times is a challenge due to the unexpected nature of patients conditions and their various needs. The practice and PPG agreed that reception staff would inform patients on arrival if they are likely to wait for more than 15 minutes.
Comments: Female GP
Their are a number of comments requesting that we employ a female GP. South Ashford Medics are currently advertising/looking to recruit a female GP part time.
66.2% of patients have indicated that they would like South Ashford Medics to have a 'permanent' contract.
11.9% indicated that they would like South Ashford Medics to have a 'time-limited' contract.
21.9% did not indicate a preference.
A bid for a permanent contract (as opposed to the five year term that is currently in situ) is to be negotiated and is fully supported by the PPG.
57% of responses stated that their reception experience was: 'Good/Excellent'
48% stated that their reception experience was: 'Poor/Fair'
12% of freetext comments felt that we needed to improve the reception experience for patients.
- as suggested by the PPG, we agreed to invest in Customer Service and Conflict Resolution training for staff. All staff have been trained in Conflict Resolution and some reception staff are currently undertaking Customer Service training by means of an NVQ.
60% of responses stated that opening times were: 'Good/Excellent'
28% stated that opening times were: 'Poor/Fair'
10% of freetext comments requested evening opening.
- we currently have one evening per week (Thursday) where we offer late appointments to 20.30. As suggested by the PPG, we agreed to explore the possibilities of extending the last GP appointments to 18.00 instead of 17.20.
19% of freetext comments wanted opening at weekends.
- this is not currently an option as GPs nationally prefer to opt out. Out of hours cover was provided by South East Health until 13th March when the 'out of hours' service for this area was transferred to NHS111.
FOR INFORMATION ON OPENING TIMES AND ACCESSING APPOINTMENTS, PLEASE GO TO RELEVANT SITE PAGE or contact South Ashford Medics on 01233 622474.

You will want to keep an eye out on how a marijuana seed bank delivers your order to your house. This also includes the different options that seed sellers offer to their customers. The best seed banks should have many ways of sending the seeds to your house and in paying for your order
What are the shipping and payment methods that you can expect from the top marijuana seed banks? Let us answer that question in details for each option.
Shipping Options
Seed banks have other ways of sending an order to you apart from the usual shipping methods. Here are the most common methods that you can expect from an online shop.
- Standard shipping
The most basic option is standard shipping. Choosing this will let you acquire your seeds within three to five business days. If you qualify for a free item on your order, standard shipping will include it in the package.
- Express shipping
As the name suggests, this option shortens the waiting time from nearly a week to only two days. You will also receive any free item that you qualify for with the express shipping option.
- Stealth shipping
This is an interesting option that some of the top marijuana seed banks offer. Stealth shipping will place your seeds inside another item to make anyone think that you are not buying anything cannabis related. For example, a seed bank may hide your seeds inside a toy package or DVD case. Stealth shipping often has an additional fee and may not include any free items that you qualify for your orders.
- Guaranteed shipping
Shipping any cannabis related products across borders has a risk of agents seizing it. Seed banks offer guaranteed shipping as an insurance option to your orders. If anyone confiscates your order, the company will reship your orders. Like the express and stealth option, this shipping option has an additional cost. Many seed banks may let you choose the guaranteed shipping with stealth option.
- Free shipping
While not a common option, seed banks offer this as part of a promotion. Customers often qualify for free shipping if an order reaches a specific amount. Free shipping is usually the same as standard shipping minus the delivery flat rate.
Payment Options
Seed banks have different options for you to pay for your order. Here are the different methods available to you as well as their advantages and disadvantages.
- Credit card
One of the most common payment options that seed bank offer. Nearly anyone can sign up for a card and use it straight away to purchase cannabis seeds online. One advantage of buying with credit cards is buyer protection that lets you reverse a charge if something were to happen to your orders. If you entered your credit card info in a bogus site or if someone stole your card number, you can report it to your credit card company. They will cancel the card and mail you one with a new set of number. You can also dispute any fraudulent charges made on the card if this were to happen.
The main issue with a credit card is the lack of anonymity when paying for seeds with them. Cards carry your personal info and your purchases may appear on your bills. This can be an issue for some people who want to make anonymous payments.
- Debit card
A debit card is similar to a credit card when it comes to paying for anything online. This includes providing the seed bank the credit numbers. The difference here is that the charges come from the money that the card holds and not through credit. This helps mitigate the risk by controlling the amount of money you might lose if hackers were to steal your card info. In addition, seed banks that accept credit cards are likely to accept debit cards.
Much like a credit card, debit also shares the same shortcomings when it comes to anonymous payment. Debit cards still hold your personal info and purchases from seed banks may appear on your card statement. In addition, the credit card has better protection than a debit card in most cases. Debit card companies do not automatically reverse the charges unless the merchant allows it. Victims of fraudulent charges also need to wait after an investigation has been completed before they receive a refund.
- E-wallets
Electronic payments or e-wallets are online payment services that are easy to sign up. You can despot money to your e-wallet or connect it to your credit card. Much electronic payment company offer buyer protection should something happens to your order. If a hacker steals your credentials, you can still regain control of your account with customer service help.
The main problem with most e-wallets is how they also contain your personal info. This removes any option for making anonymous payment to a seed bank. In addition, certain companies do not allow payment going to any marijuana-related companies. This is why seed banks that accept e-wallets only allow payments from a select number of companies. In addition, the fees that e-wallets charge per transaction is much higher than credit card fees.
- Cryptocurrency
One of the growing payment options available among seed banks is cryptocurrency with Bitcoin being the most common. This form of payment allows for anonymity since no personal info on a crypto wallet. It is interesting to note that crypto such as Bitcoin has been receiving praises from many celebrities. As Tim Draper said: "The bitcoin world is this new ecosystem where it doesn't cost that much to start a new bitcoin company, it doesn't cost much to start owning bitcoin either, and it is a much more efficient way of moving money around the world."
The main problem with cryptocurrency payment is the lack of buyer protection. It is virtually impossible to gain back your money if you paid for your order. In contrast to credit cards, card companies can still work on recovering your funds from criminals.
- Cash on delivery
Quite possibly the best form of payment is the cash on delivery option. This lets you pay for your seeds in cash as soon as it arrives at your house. The options virtually have no risk because it is nearly the same as a physical store transaction. You also do not have to worry about any questionable transaction details appear in any monthly statement.
The only issue with this option is how a few numbers of seed banks offer them. Companies will be the ones taking the risk with this option and some are not willing to take it.
- Prepaid debit card
These cards are essentially like disposable debit cards. You can easily find buy them at convenient stores or popular retail stores. Certain cards are also reloadable so you can keep using the same card number. This payment option shares the same advantages as a debit card, with the addition that it does not contain your personal information. Using a prepaid debit card also removes the risk of having any cannabis seeds purchase appear on your monthly statement.
One of the problems with a debit card is the multiple costs behind them, including the one for activating the card. Another issue is the lack of security or buyer protection should a hacker steal your money. Fortunately, certain prepaid debit card company may offer security on your purchases against theft and loss.
You now have a good grasp on the different shipping and payment options that marijuana seed banks have to offer. If privacy is not a problem, you can always go for standard shipping and credit card payment. Otherwise, you have other ways of delivering your seeds through stealth shipping and anonymous payment options.

How stupid is stupid?
Well, because most people have more common sense than the Bush administration (or those 'must wear blinders' conservatives who parrot every word in a White House press release), the Dubai ports deal never became reality. One would hope that the White House learned something from that and wouldn't repeat the mistake.
One would hope that, but one would be wrong. Today, it was announced that Dubai Ports World, the same firm that was eventually determined to be unacceptable for purposes of screening cargo coming into the U.S., will now be screening cargo coming in for nuclear material.
Yes, you read that right.
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Dubai Ports World, the Arab-owned company which set off a furor with its purchase of six U.S. port operations earlier this year, has been cleared to join a federal pilot program to test the methods used to screen U.S.-bound cargo for radiation.
The Security Freight Initiative involves the use of existing technology -- including streaming video and nuclear-detection devices -- at foreign ports, according to details announced Thursday by Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.
The United States, however, "will not outsource our security," Chertoff said, adding that all decisions about whether cargo is allowed to continue to the United States "will be made 100 percent by U.S. officials."
And we are supposed to feel better because our guys will make the call on whether to let the cargo go? The whole concern is founded on whether Dubai's chumminess with bin Laden might allow some of bin Laden's people to infiltrate the system. Of course if an item fails an inspection it won't go, but then the goal of terrorists isn't to cause failed inspections. It's to figure a way out to sneak something past the inspectors. And if you are the inspector, well what else do I have to say?
Of course, it might not even be that any bin Laden sympathizers who are working for DPW would have to do slip anything past the inspection themselves. All they would have to do is learn enough about how the system works to figure out how to beat it.
I know that the Bush administration has trouble changing course. But even when they've already been forced to acknowlege the problem before, they still don't change their basic thinking.

Hi All,
I'm thinking of buying LEAP, for this idea that I have and I'm kind of skeptical purchasing it, using the Javascript API. Any thoughts or feedback in a use case scenario, please let me know?.
JavaScript has not been supported in some time, so you will be working with older examples and likely need to revert to an older software version. However, the LeapJS library is quite rich, and there haven't really been any breaking changes over the last few years.
Yes found out the hard way, gestures no longer work on any of the SDK's for windows and only works for mac, which has to be the older version of the SDK . = (
You can install the older versions also in Windows (Linux has also the 2.3.1 version)
I'm confused. I bought a LEAP years ago. I was impressed with it's potential, however I was very disappointed in that it didn't have software which could emulate a mouse in ANY software, as if it WAS a mouse. Specifically, it didn't support "clicking" at all.I just bought a $5000 computer, and figured that after several years, there must be a new version of LEAP that fixed the problems and I would buy that. There isn't any indication that the LEAP has been improved with newer versions other than to integrate with a VR unit which I have no interest in.
In this forum, I see that Leap no longer has an SDK (Software Developers Kit) for Windows, and the old one is for Windows 7. I really don't care about an SDK either. All the Leap needs to make it a very nice, usable product is software to emulate a MOUSE! I know that is possible, because there were people developing applications to use the LEAP in SPECIFIC applications such as Autocad.. but I don't feel like installing dozens of apps for dozens of programs all to achieve the same thing in that particular program. I used to be a software programmer and I'm sure I could write such software myself. I stopped programming because programmers are paid so poorly. One could make more money working at a fast food restaurant than writing software. I'm also puzzled that nobody else has come up with a product similar to the Leap. That is probably due to patents. Patents expire. I suggest Leap gets their act together and makes some money off their product before some company in China starts making a better version for 1/10th the cost. Maybe Leap should sell their patents to Logitech or Intel or Realtek.. all of which make infrared cameras for PCs.

Mini Habits for Weight Loss: Stop Dieting. Form New Habits. Change Your Lifestyle Without Suffering.
You will never diet again.
Say goodbye to calorie counting, restrictive food bans, or other forced behaviors. In Mini Habits for Weight Loss, you will learn how to lose weight naturally, in the precise way your body and brain are meant to change.
Weve blamed ourselves for lack of discipline. That didnt help.
Weve blamed calories, carbs, and fat. That didnt help.
Weve blamed our diet formulas. That didnt help.
Its time we looked at the practice of dieting.
Nearly all diets are ineffective because theyre based on dieting. Every person has a diet (noun), but its only if you are trying to lose weight that you diet (verb). Dieting is eating and drinking sparingly or selectively to reduce your weight.
It doesnt work. If youve tried dieting, you know that.
Even the perfect diet with the right foods will fail if its approached from the traditional dieting perspective. Since weight loss experts are more concerned with biology than neuroscience, we get brilliant discussions on nutrition followed by the same dumb suggestion to immediately start eating completely different foods than the ones youre habitually used to eating, and give up everything else.
Are You Fighting Your Own Body and Brain?
The brain resists dramatic behavioral shifts. Recognizing this and developing a strategy around it made the original Mini Habits the #1 selling self-help book in a number of countries. In Mini Habits for Weight Loss, youll see that we also biologically resist such changes, which explains why most dieters and smoothie-cleanse aficionados lose weight in the short term, only to gain it all back (and more) when the body adjusts.
Mini Habits for Weight Loss will show you how to make dietary changes in a sustainable, permanent way that doesnt trigger biological or neurological resistance.
Its a specialized version of the method that made the original book a hit in 14 languages. The mini habits remain easy to implement, but the reasoning and supporting tactics are more sophisticated. This is by necessity, as weight loss factors are many and varied. The strategies in the book are rooted in extensive biological and neuroscience research.
Youll discover:
- Why its a terrible idea to forbid junk food.
- How some of the most impactful changes you can make dont involve either diet or exercise.
- Why conscious calorie restriction causes long-term weight GAIN, and how this science has been publicly available (and ignored) for more than 30 years.
- How the bodys change process mirrors that of the brain, and why that is great news for losing weight.
- Creative strategies to mitigate weight gain from eating out, social events, and holiday binge sessions.
- Why eating fruit is essential to losing weight (for lots of reasons).
- The role of exercise and an active lifestyle in weight loss, with appropriate strategies.
Most importantly, youll learn how to change your behavior and lose weight in the long term with mini habits.
Instead of reading yet another dieting book, why not try a proven behavioral change strategy that your brain and body will welcome and respond to?
Lasting change won't happen until you take that first step toward a strategy that works.
Read Mini Habits for Weight Loss, and youll never diet again.

Instant Loss Cookbook: Cook Your Way to a Healthy Weight with 125 Recipes for Your Instant Pot, Pressure Cooker, and More
125 fast, easy, and tasty whole food-based recipes for anyone looking to lose weight, from the utterly charming blogger who lost over 125 lbs in a year by making all her meals from scratch, aided by her Instant Pot.
Brittany Williams had struggled with her weight all her life. She grew up eating the standard American staples--fast, frozen, fried, and processed--and hit a peak weight of 260 pounds. When her 4-year-old daughter's autoimmune disease was alleviated by a low-sugar, dairy-free, grain-free, whole-food-based diet, Brittany realized she owed her own body the same kind of healing. So on January 1, 2017, she vowed to make every meal for a year from scratch, aided by her Instant Pot. She discovered that the versatility, speed, and ease of the electric pressure cooker made creating wholesome, tasty, family-satisfying meals a breeze, usually taking under 30 minutes. Not only did the family thrive over the course of the year, Brittany lost an astonishing 125 pounds.
Illustrated with gorgeous photography, Instant Loss Cookbook shares 125 recipes and the meal plan that Brittany used for her own weight loss, 75 of which are recipes for the Instant Pot or other multicooker. These recipes are whole food-based with a spotlight on veggies, and mostly dairy and grain-free--and she uses ingredients that you can find at any grocery store. Her ingredient lists are refreshingly approachable, and her recipes are the clearest guides to navigating your Instant Pot or other multicooker that you'll find. Here's how to make healthy eating convenient--the key to sustainable weight loss.

What a nice game! He was able to get up the cliff thanks to his roundness and when he finally saw something interesting ahead, that's when the gameplay also kicked in, getting the player to feel engaged in a way that wasn't just reading text! A really nice moral as well! Loved it <3

I don't know how deep this game is meant to be, but it really resonated with me. Having had gone a horrible breakup a year ago, the uphill battle in accepting myself and realizing my self-worth was... well. It was hard--it still is. This game captured every aspect of that.
I love it.

Sorry to hear about that, it was hard for me too, finding my own self-worth but I pulled through and I believe you will too . Thanks for your support for this game!

About Me And 2018
My name is Libby and I use my blog as an outlet to talk about my mood, my clothes, the books I'm reading and pretty much anything on my mind. At the moment I'm taking a gap year, but I plan on going to university in 2018 to study English Literature. I have many hopes for my gap year and despite writing this almost a third into my gap year and not having completed much, I have hopes 2018 will bring my gap year more success.
Goals for 2018
-Read more. I have been in such a big reading slump and I want to get out of it, I especially want to read more classical literature.
-Write more. This is often a goal of mine, but in 2018 I have nine months away from anything and I hope to blog at least once a week and do other types of writing. I hope to get something published this year on something more than my blog, but I won't beat myself up about it if I don't.
-Be more creative. This is a vague title, by this I purely mean begin knitting and doing embroidery.
-Get a part time job. This will be easy I hope, at the moment I have a full time job which doesn't allow for much spare time but I am quitting on the 26th January, then I am travelling for a month and then I hope to get a part time job and get more stuff done.
-Travel. I already have one travelling trip planned and a few more I hope to go on. The dream is to go to Spain and work in a hostel, but I'm not sure my Spanish will be good enough this summer to do that.
-Learn Spanish. I will definitely do this, I just haven't had any time to yet but I think once I am home from travelling in February I will find a good Spanish course to do.
-Join a book club. Not much else to say about that.
-Volunteer. When I get a part time job I hope I find time to volunteer somewhere, I say I hope but I definitely will.
-Go to the gym more and get back into yoga. It's hard because I can't afford a gym membership and a yoga membership, but I'm not willing to give up my gym membership just yet
-Be able to do a handstand. That was my aim for 2017, I'm hoping this year is the year it happens.
-Try to be more positive. I do think being a negative Nelly is in my blood but I can force some positivity in.
-Document my days. I have one life and a terrible memory but I want to remember more.

Hey Libby, I love your blog. And about the book club, I wanted to suggest you two book clubs. You may know them both. One is Belletrist which is by Emma Roberts and her friend Karah Preiss and the other one is 'Our Shared Shelf' by Emma Watson. I adore and follow these two book clubs for their unique selection of books every month and the depth of discussion they carry along. I'll link both their insta ids for you if you would like to check them out. Well, Much love to you Libby. I'm quite sure from what I read here in your blog that you are going to make a very bright student of English Literature.ReplyDelete

The new study was the work of Janet Elise Rosenbaum from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland and is published in the 1 January 2009 issue of Pediatrics.
In her background information Rosenbaum explained that the US government spends more than 200 million dollars a year promoting abstinence, including virginity pledges, and this study uses more robust methods than previous studies have in comparing the sexual activity of teenagers who take pledges and those who do not.
Rosenbaum analyzed data from a nationally representative set of respondents taking part in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health which included middle and high school students who reported never having had sex or having taken a virginity pledge at the start of the study. The start of the study was 1995 and all 3,440 surveyed teenagers were over 15 at the time.
289 youngsters who reported taking a virginity pledge in the survey one year later, in 1996, were then matched with 645 non-pledgers on over 100 different factors including religious belief and attitude toward sex and birth control. Rosenbaum then compared the results taken five years later, which included what the two groups reported about their sexual behaviour, age at first sex, and their partners, plus the results of medical exams for sexually transmitted diseases.
The results showed that:
- Five years after the pledge, 82 per cent of the pledgers denied ever having made a pledge.
- There was no difference in self-reported premarital sex, anal and oral sex, and incidence of sexually transmitted diseases between pledgers and non-pledgers.
- Pledgers had 0.1 fewer past-year partners but did not differ in age at first sex and lifetime sexual partners.
- Compared to matched non-pledgers, fewer pledgers reported using birth control and condoms, both in the past year and the last time they had sex.
"Virginity pledges may not affect sexual behavior but may decrease the likelihood of taking precautions during sex," she wrote, and recommended that healthcare professionals should offer birth control information to all teenagers, and to virginity pledgers in particular.
Rosenbaum told the press that:
"Taking a pledge doesn't seem to make any difference at all in any sexual behavior."
"But it does seem to make a difference in condom use and other forms of birth control that is quite striking," she said, according to a report in the Washington Post.
She said that her research was more robust than previous studies because they were comparing " a mixture of apples and oranges", whereas in this study she "tried to pull out the apples and compare only the apples to other apples".
