Torfuscation – Gaming Study Design to Effect an Outcome
As important as is the mode of inference one employs commensurate with study completion, is the design of the study itself. Before one begins to attempt to reduce and analyze a body of observational resource, the ethical scientist must first select the study type and design that will afford them the greatest draw in terms of probative potential. The intricacies of this process present the poseur an opportunity to game outcomes of science through study design, type and PICO features, such that it produces outcomes which serve to further the political, hate or religious causes of their sponsors.
There are several ways to put on the appearance of conducting serious science, yet still effect outcomes which maintain alignment with the agency of your funders, sponsors, mentors or controlling authorities. Recent ethical evolution inside science, has highlighted the need for understanding that a researcher's simply having calculated a p-value, applied an arrival distribution or bounded an estimate inside a confidence interval, does not necessarily mean that they have developed a sound basis from which to draw any quality inference. In similar philosophy, one can develop a study – and completely mislead the scientific community as to the nature of reality inside a given issue of contention or science.
We are all familiar with the trick of falsely calling a 'survey of study abstracts', or a meta-synthesis of best evidence, or an opinion piece summarizing a body of study from one person's point of view – a 'meta-analysis'. A meta-analysis combines congruent study designs and bodies of equivalent data, in order to improve the statistical power of the combined entailed analyses.1 The fake forms of meta-analysis do no such thing. A meta-analysis is a secondary or filtered systematic review which only bears leveraged strength in the instance wherein randomized controlled trials or longitudinal studies of the same species, are able to be combined in order to derive this higher statistical power. Every other flavor of such 'blending of study', does not accomplish such an objective. Such blending may, and this is important, actually serve to reduce the probative power of the systematic review itself. Nonetheless, you will find less-than-ethical scientists trying to push their opinion/summary articles upon the community as if they reflected through convenient misnomer, this 'most rigorous form of study design'. One can find an example of this within the study: Taylor, Swerdfeger, Eslick; An evidence-based meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies; Elsevier, 2014.2
This equivocal sleight-of-hand stands as merely one example of the games played within the agency-influenced domains of science. With regard to manipulating study design in order to effect a desired scientific outcome, there are several means of accomplishing this feat. Most notably the following methods, which are all called collectively, torfuscation. Torfuscation involves employing a less rigorous study type (lower rank on the Chart below), an ineffective study design, or a type of flawed methodical PICO-time analysis, which will serve most often to weaken the probative potential of a study which could ostensibly serve to produce an outcome which threatens its sponsors.
/philosophy : pseudoscience : study fraud : Saxon : 'hide in the bog'/ : pseudoscience or obfuscation enacted through a Nelsonian knowledge masquerade of scientific protocol and study design. Inappropriate, manipulated or shallow study design crafted so as to obscure or avoid a targeted/disliked inference. A process, contended to be science, wherein one develops a conclusion through cataloging study artifice or observation noise as valid data. Invalid observations which can be parlayed into becoming evidence of absence or evidence of existence as one desires – by accepting only the appropriate hit or miss grouping one desires as basis to support an a priori preference, and as well avoid any further needed ex ante proof. A refined form of praedicate evidentia or utile abstentia employed through using less rigorous or probative methods of study than are requisite under otherwise ethical science. Exploitation of study noise generated through first level 'big data' or agency-influenced 'meta-synthesis', as the 'evidence' that no further or deeper study is therefore warranted – and moreover that research of the subject entailed is now socially embargoed.
Study design which exploits the weakness potential entailed inside the PICO-time Study Design Development Model3 (see Study to Inference Strength and Risk Chart below), through the manipulation of the study
P – patient, problem or population
I – intervention, indicator
C – comparison, control or comparator
O – outcome, or
time – time series
Which seeks to compromise the outcome or conclusion in terms of the study usage; more specifically: prevention, screening, diagnostic, treatment, quality of life, compassionate use, expanded access, superiority, non-inferiority and or equivalence.
Meta-Garbage, Deescalation and PICO-time Manipulation
One example of tampering with the PICO-time attributes of a study, would consist of the circumstance wherein only medical plan completed diagnostic data is used as the sample base for a retrospective observational cohort study's 'outcome' data. Such data is highly likely to be incomplete or skewed in a non-probative direction, under a condition of linear induction (a weaker form of inference) and utile abstentia (a method of exclusion bias through furtive data-source selection). In similar fashion and as example, if the average age of outcome diagnosis is 5.5 years, and the average slack time between diagnosis and first possible recording into a medical plan database is 4 to 18 months, then a constraining of the time-series involved inside a study examining that data, to 4.5 years, is an act of incompetent or malicious study design. But you will find both of these tricks to be common in studies wherein a potential outcome is threatening to a study's sponsors; agents who hope to prove by modus absens shallow and linear inductive inference that the subject can be embargoed from then on. Just such a study can be found here: Madsen, Hviid; A Population-Based Study of Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination and Autism, 2002.4 A study may also be downgraded (lower on the chart below), and purposely forced to employ a lesser form of design probative strength (Levels 1 – 7); precisely because its sponsors suspect the possibility of a valid risk they do not want exposed. This is very similar to a downgrading in inference method called methodical deescalation – a common trick of professional pseudoscience. One may also notice that often, studies employing these three tricks are held as proprietary, concealed from the public during the critical study design phase. This is purposeful. This is oppression in the name of science. One may also notice that the 'meta-analysis' decried earlier in this article, cited this very study just mentioned as a 'best evidence study' inside its systematic review. If you meta-study garbage, you will produce meta-garbage as well (see Secondary Study in the Chart below).
The following is The Ethical Skeptic's chart indexing study design against mode of inference, strength and its risk in torfuscation. It is a handy tool for helping spot torfuscation of the three example types elicited above, and more. The study types are ranked from top to bottom in terms of Level in probative strength (1 – 7), and as well are arranged into Direct, Analytical and Descriptive study groupings by color. Torfuscation involves the selection of a study type with a probative power lower down on the chart, when a higher probative level of study was available and/or warranted; as well as in tampering with the PICO-time risk elements (right side of chart under the yellow header) characteristic of each study type so as to weaken its overall ability to indicate a potential disliked outcome. The Chart is followed up by a series of definitions for each study type listed. The myriad sources for this compiled set of industry material are listed at the end of this article – however, it should be noted that the sources cited did not agree with each other on the material/level, structure nor definitions of various study designs. Therefore modifications and selections were made as to the attributes of study, which allowed for the entire set of alternatives/definitions to come into synchrony with each other – with minimal overlap and confusion. So you will not find 100% of this chart replicated inside any single resource or textbook. (note: My past lab experience has been mostly in non-randomized controlled factorial trial study – whose probative successes were fed into a predictive model, then confirmed by single mechanistic lab tests. I found this approach to be highly effective in my past professional work. But that lab protocol may not apply to other types of study challenge and could be misleading if applied as a panacea. Hence the need for the chart below.)
Study Design Type Definitions
Experimental– A study which involves a direct physical test of the material or principal question being asked.
Mechanistic/Lab – A direct study which examines a physical attribute or mechanism inside a controlled closed environment, influencing a single input variable, while observing a single output variable – both related to that attribute or mechanism.
Controlled Trial
Randomized (Randomized Controlled Trial) – A study in which people are allocated at random (by chance alone) to receive one of several clinical interventions. One of these interventions is the standard of comparison or the 'control'. The control may be a standard practice, a placebo ("sugar pill"), or no intervention at all.
Non-Randomized Controlled Trial – A study in which people are allocated by a discriminating factor (not bias), to receive one of several clinical interventions. One of these interventions is the standard of comparison or the 'control'. The control may be a standard practice, a placebo ("sugar pill"), or no intervention at all.
Parallel – A type of controlled trial where two groups of treatments, A and B, are given so that one group receives only A while another group receives only B. Other names for this type of study include "between patient" and "non-crossover" studies.
Crossover – A longitudinal direct study in which subjects receive a sequence of different treatments (or exposures). In a randomized controlled trial with repeated measures design, the same measures are collected multiple times for each subject. A crossover trial has a repeated measures design in which each patient is assigned to a sequence of two or more treatments, of which one may either be a standard treatment or a placebo. Nearly all crossover controlled trial studies are designed to have balance, whereby all subjects receive the same number of treatments and participate for the same number of periods. In most crossover trials each subject receives all treatments, in a random order.
Factorial – A factorial study is an experiment whose design consists of two or more factors, each with discrete possible values or 'levels', and whose experimental units take on all possible combinations of these levels across all such factors. A full factorial design may also be called a fully-crossed design. Such an experiment allows the investigator to study the effect of each factor on the response variable or outcome, as well as the effects of interactions between factors on the response variable or outcome.
Blind Trial – A trial or experiment in which information about the test is masked (kept) from the participant (single blind) and/or the test administerer (double blind), to reduce or eliminate bias, until after a trial outcome is known.
Open Trial – A type of non-randomized controlled trial in which both the researchers and participants know which treatment is being administered.
Placebo-Control Trial – A study which blindly and randomly allocates similar patients to a control group that receives a placebo and an experimental test group. Therein investigators can ensure that any possible placebo effect will be minimized in the final statistical analysis.
Interventional (Before and After/Interrupted Time Series/Historical Control) – A study in which observations are made before and after the implementation of an intervention, both in a group that receives the intervention and in a control group that does not. A study that uses observations at multiple time points before and after an intervention (the 'interruption'). The design attempts to detect whether the intervention has had an effect significantly greater than any underlying trend over time.
Adaptive Clinical Trial – A controlled trial that evaluates a medical device or treatment by observing participant outcomes (and possibly other measures, such as side-effects) along a prescribed schedule, and modifying parameters of the trial protocol in accord with those observations. The adaptation process generally continues throughout the trial, as prescribed in the trial protocol. Modifications may include dosage, sample size, drug undergoing trial, patient selection criteria or treatment mix. In some cases, trials have become an ongoing process that regularly adds and drops therapies and patient groups as more information is gained. Importantly, the trial protocol is set before the trial begins; the protocol pre-specifies the adaptation schedule and processes.
Observational – Analytical
Cohort/Panel (Longitudinal) – A study in which a defined group of people (the cohort – a group of people who share a defining characteristic, typically those who experienced a common event in a selected period) is followed over time, to examine associations between different interventions received and subsequent outcomes.
Prospective – A cohort study which recruits participants before any intervention and follows them into the future.
Retrospective – A cohort study which identifies subjects from past records describing the interventions received and follows them from the time of those records.
Time-Series – A cohort study which identifies subjects from a particular segment in time following an intervention (which may have also occurred in a time series) and follows them during only the duration of that time segment. Relies upon robust intervention and subject tracking databases. For example, comparing lung health to pollution during a segment in time.
Cross-Sectional/Transverse/Prevalence – A study that collects information on interventions (past or present) and current health outcomes, i.e. restricted to health states, for a group of people at a particular point in time, to examine associations between the outcomes and exposure to interventions.
Case-Control – A study that compares people with a specific outcome of interest ('cases') with people from the same source population but without that outcome ('controls'), to examine the association between the outcome and prior exposure (e.g. having an intervention). This design is particularly useful when the outcome is rare.
Nested Case-Control – A study wherein cases of a health outcome that occur in a defined cohort are identified and, for each, a specified number of matched controls is selected from among those in the cohort who have not developed the health outcome by the time of occurrence in the case. For many research questions, the nested case-control design potentially offers impressive reductions in costs and efforts of data collection and analysis compared with the full case-control or cohort approach, with relatively minor loss in statistical efficiency.
Community Survey – An observational study wherein a targeted cohort or panel is given a set of questions regarding both interventions and observed outcomes over the life or a defined time period of the person, child or other close family member. These are often conducted in conjunction with another disciplined polling process (such as a census or general medical plan survey) so as to reduce statistical design bias or error.
Ecological (Correlational) – A study of risk-modifying factors on health or other outcomes based on populations defined either geographically or temporally. Both risk-modifying factors and outcomes are averaged or are linear regressed for the populations in each geographical or temporal unit and then compared using standard statistical methods.
Observational – Descriptive
Population – A study of a group of individuals taken from the general population who share a common characteristic, such as age, sex, or health condition. This group may be studied for different reasons, such as their response to a drug or risk of getting a disease.
Case Series – Observations are made on a series of specific individuals, usually all receiving the same intervention, before and after an intervention but with no control group.
Case Report – Observation is made on a specific individual, receiving an intervention, before and after an intervention but with no control group/person other than the general population.
Systematic Review/Objective Meta-Analysis – A method for systematically combining pertinent qualitative and quantitative study data from several selected studies to develop a single conclusion that has greater statistical power. This conclusion is statistically stronger than the analysis of any single study, due to increased numbers of subjects, greater diversity among subjects, or accumulated effects and results. However, researchers must ensure that the quantitative and study design attributes of the contained studies all match, in order to retain and enhance the statistical power entailed. Mixing lesser rigorous or incongruent studies with more rigorous studies will only result in a meta-analysis which bears the statistical power of only a portion of the studies, or of the least rigorous study type contained, in decreasing order along the following general types of study:
Controlled Trial/Mechanism
Interpretive/Abstract 'Meta-Synthesis' – A study which surveys the conclusion or abstract of a pool of studies in order to determine the study authors' conclusions along a particular line of conjecture or deliberation. This may include a priori conclusions or author preferences disclosed inside the abstract of each study, which were not necessarily derived as an outcome of the study itself. This study may tally a 'best evidence' subset of studies within the overall survey group, which stand as superior in their representation of the conclusion, methodology undertaken or breadth in addressing the issue at hand.
Editorial/Expert Opinion – A summary article generally citing both scientific outcomes and opinion, issued by an expert within a given field, currently active and engaged in research inside that field. The article may or may not refer to specific examples of studies, which support an opinion that a consilience of evidence points in a given direction regarding an issue of deliberation. The author will typically delineate a circumstance of study outcome, consilience or consensus as separate from their personal professional opinion.
Critical Review/Skeptic Opinion – A self-identified skeptic or science enthusiast, applies a priori thinking with no ex ante accountability, in order to arrive at a conclusion. The reviewer may or may not cite a couple examples or studies to back their conclusion.

I just stumbled upon a new book by Parag Jasani called Mechanisms of the mind, that came out in December last year in India. https://www.amazon.com/Mechanisms-Mind-Parag-Jasani-ebook/dp/B07ML5QLVZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=parag+jasani&qid=1555360675&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull I've never even heard of him, his book, or his websites until a few days ago. http://www.consciousnessexplained.com Parag Jasani seems completely convinced that he has solved all mysteries of consciousness by developing a model that has never been used before, called the DOS model, that explains how the mind develops and works, what causes dreams, why we're all here, ect. And that the mind is a product that emerged from natural selection and the brain.… Read more »

Sri Lanka Cricket's (SLC) much anticipated elections will be held only after technical errors in the gazette notification which empowers the Sports Minister to appoint a three-member Advisory Board to hear polls-related appeals have been rectified stated W.A. Chulananda Perera the newly appointed Competent Authority of SLC at a media conference held at the Duncan White auditorium yesterday.
"An election of Sri Lanka Cricket was scheduled to be held on the 7th of February 2019. During this course it was depicted that there was a technical error in the translation from Sinhala to English. We have sought advice from the Attorney General regarding the above mentioned issue. According to the Attorney General, the cricket elections could be held only after the technical errors have been rectified," said Perera.
"In due course I have informed the ICC and the Sri Lanka Cricket Election Committee on the above matter. Once the above mentioned situation has been corrected we will make the necessary arrangements for Sri Lanka Cricket elections to be held lawfully," he said.
The ICC has given SLC February 9 as the deadline to hold the elections after it was postponed from May 31.
Sports Minister Harin Fernando stated that the ICC anti-corruption Unit's coordinator of investigations, Steve Richardson was in Sri Lanka for two weeks and anyone with information related to cricket corruption can submit their complaints to his temporary office during the period.
"During the two weeks, anyone who knows of any frauds or sleights relating to Sri Lanka cricket can submit their complaints. My responsibility is keeping their identity safe and all the evidence confidential. I will safeguard them all," the Minister said.
The Minister also made another important remark saying, "I've sent to the department of law, I assume that by March, a new law will be affirmed after directing towards the parliament, that if someone is proved guilty for any type of fraud and misconduct, they will be sent to jail for five years and will have to compensate for it in large amounts."
"Cricket has become a professional sport, so a lot of money is exchanged. As explained by the ICC officers to me, cricket has gone beyond betting, it has been connected to the underworld, this is a serious allegation. As cricketers we have to work together to change this situation, some senior cricketers and officers are trying to change the situation. This is not about cricket board, or interim committees. As cricketers we need to talk about this as a team, not as a single person. If we talk as a single person, it gives a wrong opinion. So come as a team and speak out," the Minister said.
Sri Lanka cricket said that it will publish in a few days through the media the dates anyone with information can submit their complaints. Sri Lanka cricketers also attend the press conference.

Economic Impact
Economic impact of recreational sea angling in Scotland
Previously, very little was known about the scale of sea angling, its distribution across Scotland, or the economic impact of sea anglers' expenditure. In these circumstances, it is possible that sea angling could have been over-looked when fisheries, tourism and coastal developments were being considered. The Scottish Government has sought to rectify this by commissioning this assessment of sea angling and its contribution to employment and income both in Scotland as a whole and its regions.
Research into the economic contribution of sea angling
Existing information about the economic characteristics of sea angling in England and Wales is sparse. This study was established to provide more detailed economic information on sea anglers and sea angling in England and Wales. Specifically, it was set up principally to identify the important local centres for sea angling, its economic contribution both nationally and more locally, and the value of the experience to anglers.
The economic impact of game and coarse angling in Scotland
In August 2001, the Green Paper, Scotland's Freshwater Fish and Fisheries: Securing Their Future, pointed to the lack of useful data quantifying the economic position of fresh water angling, whether on a national or a regional basis. Against this background, the Scottish Executive contracted the consultants to estimate the economic contribution to Scotland of fresh water angling. The principal aim was to analyse the impact of angler expenditure on output income and employment.

Here are more comments about Seroxat.
Taken from the online patient database - askapatient.com
Felt like nerve endings in anus and head were contracting for the first month, awful numbness in head, lifted my spirits but overall this drug is poison. Male 32
Only a mere 5mg/day. First 2 days: slight headache, feeling hazy and increased libido actually. 3rd day: severe depression, loss of concentration, anger, deep sadness, even suicidal thoughts weren't far. Stopped it at once(our best doc. remains ourselves) and fortunately I was(almost) back to normal the next day just some very little dizyness. Male 27
I have currenty been on this drug for over eight years and have decided that I have have had enough of sleeping for 13 hrs a day or more. When I started coming off this medicine I have been so sick. I have constant diarrhea, nausea and irritabiliy. I have this buzzing in my head. I can't stand to hear loud noises and excessive talking it drives me nuts. Female 36
Weight gain mainly, HORRIBLE withdrawl Male 51
Yawn tremors, vision difficulties, confusion, zombie-like, NO SEX DRIVE AT ALL. Female 26
No libido, constipation, weight gain, electrical zaps and swooshy sounds, suicidal ideation, rages, increased depression, agitation, the list goes on..... Male 31
Basically all side effects that are known. worse though, i got the tolerance/poop-out syndrome after a couple of years so i started withdrawing during use. withdrawal is the worst part of this poison! Male 31
COMPLETE LOSS IN SEX DRIVE! some weight gain at first, decreased effectiveness overtime, crazy dreams and night sweats, always sleepy (could sleep for 10 or more hours at a time!) Female 23
Tremors (all over body shakes, like really really bad case of the coffee jitters), insomnia--my brain was WIDE awake at 2 am--hot and cold flashes, I went from freezing cold to burning up in a matter of a minute, and when the hot flashes came, my skin felt as if it were being burned, it acted as a diuretic, made me have to go to the bathroom every ten minutes, and it made me really really nauseous. Female 35
Caused hands to tremble, perspiration/heat intolerance, brain fog, fatigue, insomnia Male 23
Excessive yawning, Dilated pupils, didnt care about things that used to bother me, I stopped obsessing over everything. The side effect that bothered me the most, was the sexual side effects.

Here is our selection of our men's clothing that will guarantee you spend your days warm, cool and in comfort, whether in the middle of a yoga session or just catching up with friends over a coffee.
1. Dawn Henley
For a versatile, casualwear top that supremely easy on the eye, look no further than our newly-arrived Dawn Henley. Featuring the softest fabric of our entire range, the Dawn Henley is made to stretch for the perfect, close-body fit. Made from 47% recycled fabric and bluesign® certified, you can be sure it is made with people, the environment and sustainable production in mind. Available in charcoal, light grey or fig, there is every reason to invest in a new Dawn.
2. Orion
Alongside the Dawn is another new arrival: the Orion long sleeve top. Designed with high performance in mind, this activewear item is set to become a staple of workout gear for years to come. Featuring COOLMAX® technology, a soft-touch feel and compression fit, the Orion feels like a second skin and will help support your shape as you move through your exercise. With a heather look and original jacquard on both front and back, the Orion is as good looking as it is hard working.
3. Discovery
Looking for a new pair of chinos for winter 2018, but tired of the same old styles and restrictive designs? Look no further than a pair of our elegant and super-comfortable Discovery chinos. Made from stretchy fabrics, these are made with movement in mind, with the addition of waist stretch zones for maximum comfort. Knee darts add a stylish edge to the classic straight leg fit, while a choice of classic colours ensures that these will be an excellent investment for many winters to come.

A staple of the OHMME collection, no winter wardrobe is complete without at least one pair of the supremely-popular Dharma pants.

With a robust seam and tapering at the cuff, these are hardworking pants that are also vegan-friendly. The Dharma pants ensure an end to sweat patches through quick-drying material, while also moving moisture away from the body to ensure that you remain cool and dry. These are so comfortable that men are as likely to use the Dharma pants for casualwear as they are for yoga clothing.
5. Itvara
Just when you thought your winter wardrobe was complete, along comes one last, vital item that will quickly become indispensable. The Itvara backpack is a groundbreaker: the first functional backpack with a special space for your yoga mat. An end to the awkward mat-under-one-arm, the Itvara ensures that you can easily carry your yoga equipment around whether you are in Instagram-worthy mountains or just stuck on a rush-hour tube train. The yoga mat slips vertically into the Itvara backpack and is clipped into place for a streamlined, secure carry. With a laptop pocket and a pull-out waterproof cover, the Itvara backpack is this winter's must-have accessory.

Our company

As previously mentioned, you need to learn a number of things if you are considering to buy Whatsapp Channels to pair up with your Whatsapp Blast Software before you can scale an awesome Whatsapp Marketing campaign to engage your audience.
To recap, you first need to know that there are two requirements before you can run a successful Whatsapp Marketing campaign. These are:
- Whatsapp Marketing software
- Whatsapp Channels
We have extensively discussed what a Whatsapp Marketing Software is through the number of articles we have previously furnished.
The tool that enables users to send multitude Whatsapp messages to other Whatsapp users around the world is called Whatsapp Marketing Software. This Whatsapp Marketing Solution is also packed with other features that will allow you functionality such as number filtering, uploading bulk Whatsapp Channels, changing of profile picture, and many others.
The next requirement is also known as Whatsapp Senders. Whatsapp channels are pre-activated and registered Whatsapp numbers which are used in order to send WhatsApp messages to other Whatsapp users located at wherever part of the world.
There are two types of Whatsapp channels available in the market: the protected Whatsapp Channels and the non-protected Whatsapp channels.
What's the difference between protected Whatsapp channels and Unprotected Whatsapp Channels?
Protected Whatsapp Channels have higher quality than that of unprotected Whatsapp Channels generally because unprotected Whatsapp Channels are likely to be useless as they can be "stolen" or virtually generated (or copied) by other Whatsapp software such as Whatsapp Channel finder.
Benefits of having Protected WhatsApp Channels:
- Protected WhatsApp channels are active for a longer period of time
- Protected WhatsApp channels can't be stolen using any WhatsApp channels finder software.
- Protected WhatsApp channels cannot be duplicated by any Software.
If you are planning to buy Whatsapp Channels or buy Bulk Whatsapp Channels, deal with a WhatsApp channels provider or a vendor that will provide you with protected Whatsapp Channels.
Our company only offers protected Whatsapp Channels hence you can be assured that you can use them for longer periods of time. If you buy Bulk Whatsapp Channels from us, not only do you get high quality Whatsapp Marketing Solutions but you also get to enjoy after sales support.
The following are the reasons why our company is the best Whatsapp channel vendor available:
- We offer protected Whatsapp Channels
As enumerated earlier, protected Whatsapp Channels are better option to complement your Whatsapp Marketing Software in sending Whatsapp Marketing campaigns to your targeted audience. And even though our Bulk Whatsapp Channels are more costly than unprotected Whatsapp Channels being offered by other Whatsapp Marketing Solution Providers, our Bulk Whatsapp Channels are definitely better investments in the long run.
- All the Whatsapp Channels we are selling are generated with real SIM cards
Real SIM cards almost eliminate the possibility of the Whatsapp Channels or Whatsapp senders getting banned by Whatsapp. Virtual Whatsapp numbers such as those generated or copied by other Whatsapp software like Whatsapp Channel finder are easily prone to getting banned by Whatsapp.
- We guarantee replacement in case of defective Whatsapp Channels
We offer guarantee that we will replace bulk Whatsapp Channels that are defective (eg. they register: LOGIN ERROR during log in attempt). Simply contact us and we will deliver fresh Bulk Whatsapp Channels for your Whatsapp Marketing messages.
- Whatsapp Channels are never resold to other merchants
We don't duplicate our Bulk Whatsapp Channels as each is generated by REAL SIM CARDS. Whatsapp has strict "blocking" system so any Whatsapp number that has a duplicate copy will surely be blocked or banned by Whatsapp.
- Fast Delivery
If you decide to buy Whatsapp Channels or Bulk Whatsapp Channels from us, we guarantee that we will deliver your purchase as prompt as possible. We value your time so we make sure that we don't waste it by taking our time delivering your purchase. As soon as payments are confirmed, you can be assured that the Bulk Whatsapp Channels or Whatsapp Channels will be delivered.
- We guarantee safety from theft and blocking
Our company has a systematic way of ensuring that our Whatsapp Channels through our unique Channel Registration. We use a high-encrypted security which prevents anybody (even a member of our team) to have access over passwords or any other details which will put these Bulk Whatsapp Channels at risk of getting duplicated or stolen.
- We guarantee fast replacement of bad channels
As direct correlation with number 5, we also promptly replace defective Whatsapp Channels. Just contact us and we will immediately arrange their delivery.
- We are known to be reputable and honest Whatsapp Channel provider or Vendor
Since the rise of Whatsapp Marketing, we have been providing quality Whatsapp Marketing Solutions such as software, channels, scripts and other tools available to businesses who wished to tap on their potential clients found in the community in Whatsapp.
So if you're planning to buy Whatsapp Channels to pair up with your high quality Whatsapp Marketing Software, contact us immediately. You can be assured that we will only provide you high quality Whatsapp Channels that will last for longer periods so you can get connected with your prospect clients and existing clients better.
Now where to?
Now that you know the difference of protected whatsapp channels from unprotected whatsapp Channels and learned the things you need to check from a Whatsapp Marketing provider, let us now tackle on what you need to know about owning protected Bulk Whatsapp Channels.
We have been long enough in the business of Whatsapp Marketing to know that it is ideal to only send 9 marketing campaigns per Whatsapp Channels. This way, you get to monitor your Whatsapp Marketing campaigns easier. But you also have an option to send more if you so choose.
So if given you have 1000 channels in your system, you will be able to send 9000 messages per day to other Whatsapp users at whatever part of the world. This system will also enable you to prolong the life of your Bulk Whatsapp Channels.
In actual and as mentioned earlier, you have the option to send countless Whatsapp Campaign Messages using one Whatsapp Channel when you use any Whatsapp Marketing Software. It's all dependent on your end how you will utilize our different Whatsapp Marketing tools in promoting the goods and services you offer in your business. However, we discourage you to practice SPAM messaging as Whatsapp is also strict. They will ban any Whatsapp number if you exceed their limitation. In effect, using any Whatsapp Marketing Solutions solely lies on the bearer of the Whatsapp channel himself. It depends on what you choose to do with your Whatsapp channel but if you want longevity of your Whatsapp senders, we suggest that you be smart about it.

On October 31, 1999, about 0152 eastern standard time (EST), EgyptAir flight 990, a Boeing 767-366ER (767), SU-GAP, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean about 60 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts. EgyptAir flight 990 was being operated under the provisions of Egyptian Civil Aviation Regulations (ECAR) Part 121 and U.S. 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 129 as a scheduled, international flight from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), New York, New York, to Cairo International Airport, Cairo, Egypt. The flight departed JFK about 0120, with 4 flight crewmembers, 10 flight attendants, and 203 passengers on board. All 217 people on board were killed, and the airplane was destroyed. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, which operated on an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the EgyptAir flight 990 accident is the airplane's departure from normal cruise flight and subsequent impact with the Atlantic Ocean as a result of the relief first officer's flight control inputs. The reason for the relief first officer's actions was not determined.

Remember, Remember Those Bloody Days of November
"I think I must talk to you on some important matters. You are encircled by some people in your office in a way that I would not have opportunity to talk to you there, and the environment there is also not congenial. That is why I am using this red telephone for the purpose. You are going to establish a one-party rule, but I told you many times about my reservation. Today I am registering my conclusive opinion. I do not agree to your one-party system. Please tell me why you should go this way.
"First, I am not convinced by your logic. Secondly, this is not my question. This is my statement. As the prime minister, you have enough power in your hands, and I think that you don't need to have a one-party system, or any other change like that. Thirdly, you and I together traversed the country for long 25-30 years, and there is no field or place where we did not go. There we delivered speeches hoping for a happy and prosperous country based on democracy. The democracy for which we talked so much will end through a single stroke of your pen, establishing a one-party system. I am very strongly disagreeing to your decision.
"By taking this step you are closing all the doors to remove you peacefully from your position. Mujib Bhai, the most unfortunate event will be that the bullet will not hit you alone. We shall also be killed and the nation will plunge into danger."
(A few days late I know, but it was that sort of a weekend. I got the following from this article. I cannot verify whether this conversation actually took place or not, but I'd like to believe that at least one of our founding fathers had a completely unstinting faith in the power of democracy to bring prosperity and happiness to our people. God bless his soul.)

Horse-breaking and Training Centre
parmigiano reggiano biologico di montagna
The Horse-breaking and Training Centre is intended to develop the understanding of the greater value of a trained horse in breeders, so as to improve marketing of adult specimens and their introduction in rural tourism farms. Breeders will be able to send their foals to the Horse-Breaking and Training Centre for no longer than 3 months, at low cost, according to conventional parameters, and relying on specific contributions.
Horses, trained according to a programme of the Central Office of the Bardigiano Horse, will be evaluated by a relevant Committee at the end of the training cycle, in order to verify the results obtained. The training certificates will be handed out either during the National Breed Exhibition in Bardi, where a special contest will be held, or at the Bardigiano horse "riding meet" in the Autumn.
* Tame and train foals to be sold as riding horses or light draught horses, used in rural tourism centres, or privately.
* Carry out tests for the evaluation of horse talents. Specifically, for all stallions to be included in the race and for a significant number of breeding mares, selected according to genetic indexes.
* Manage a mare covering station with stallions from the Genealogy Book, for the creation of scheduled mating plans.
* Create a reference point for the marketing of trained Bardigiano horses, where to send customers contacted during exhibitions and events at which Bardigiano horses participate.
The management of the Centre is intended solely for the breeding and training of Bardigiano horses.
The Manager of the Centre, in agreement with the Central Office of the Genealogy Book, agrees to:
* Follow the indicated breeding rules - Apply breeding and training costs, calculated on the basis of agricultural market bulletins
* Follow horse-breaking rules given by the Central Technical Committee and satisfy the breeders' requirements
Horse-breaking and training times: 60-90 days (according to results obtained)
Training is intended to highlight and qualify the breed talents for:
* Service at the saddle
* Light draught
A) recognition
B) biometric data detection
C) description of morphological conditions
D) general and nutritional conditions
E) legs - natural stance and shoeing
F) temperament and character
G) description of training at introduction and work in the circle
A) taming of the horse
B) cleaning and tending, work in the stall
C) start of training to work
D) acceptance of harnessing
E) work on flat ground
During training the horse needs to have total trust in the feasibility of the decision imparted by the rider, face it and succeed calmly, without hesitation. Difficult or precision manoeuvres in the ring are intended to refine the horse's experience and evaluate its instinct for future tasks. Training is a long process, it requires patience as well as great and constant attention to any reaction from the horse. This is never complete, but it can be very rewarding through small, continuous steps.

I've never really been a gift person – and I think I say this more often than any other phrase in the English language. I've never liked how commercialized Christmas can become when bucket loads of gifts become involved. But it some ways, I feel that gifts can be an important part of Christmas. After all, didn't the wise men each bring baby Jesus a gift to celebrate his life? And while I don't think gifts should be the only part of Christmas, a few wouldn't hurt yo give and receive.
That being said, I do have a couple things on my Wish List that I do hope to buy for myself this year or relatively soon.
See Also:
My Holiday Wish List
Fujifilm Instax Mini 9
I have wanted one of these for a really long time – and is probably on every single documented wish list of mine. (Little do they know, I've been watching the price drop…) In fact, the price has dropped by 6% since I added it to my Amazon Wish List!
Polaroid Zip
This is another product that has been on my wish list waiting on price drops…and it has: 14% !! I think this would be fantastic for scrapbooking – which I really want to start doing.
"Girl, Wash Your Face"
I have heard so many things about this book!! Written by Rachel Hollis, she says "Step believing the lies about who you are and who you are meant to be." I haven't even read it yet and I still recommend it to anyone who wants to read it.
Simply Earth Essential Oil Storage Box
What I love most about this box is that it holds thirty-six oils and comes with sticker labels for easy organization! And for only $19.99 ! Oh – and it gives me an excuse to buy more oils….yeah, this is for sure on my Wish List this year!
Alexa Echo Dot
We have a Google Home Mini in our dining room, and I want to be honest when I say that I like Alexa a lot more. (Not that I already have an Alexa, just that I've used her before.) I have nothing against Google, though, in fact I really want one of their Surface Pro computers. But in this case, I'll have to say that I'm choosing Alexa over Google Home.
This particular bundle comes with a Smart Plug – which is perfect for me.
As much as I like to pamper myself these days, I always like to wait until the holidays to buy myself gifts because of the sales. But I also don't like to want for things that I won't have a purpose for or use – because that makes everything cluttered. I hope that I can get my hands on everything in this list reallly soon!
What do you have on your Christmas Wish List this year?? Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for reading.

January Meetup 2017hosted by Tobias Pfeiffer by DaWanda (de.dawanda.com), 05.01.2017 at 19:30
Let's start the new year with a nice meetup, people and everything else to get a good start into 2017 :)
There will be food as in bagels and focaccia, vegetarian and vegan options included! :)
Constraint programming in Ruby
How to solve restaurant table reservation problems fast and efficiently, or any logic based puzzle you can image. At the core of Ruby you can use call continuations, and you can build miraculous applications with these. I will tell you a story and show you the Ruby side of this along the way. Also this is a fading Ruby feature, thus grab it as long it is available ;)
A developer's nightmare: Dealing with time and dates in Ruby and Rails
Ruby on Rails is currently aware of 32 time zones. There is no global standard defined for the daylight saving time (DST). These and many other circumstances challenge global remote teams who build software systems like GitHub that are used 24 hours by people all over the world.
Hear about some issues we have to fight against at GitHub and benefit from the lessons we've learned.
Responsible gem collector
The power of Ruby comes from a huge number of available gems. "Just use gem X" is often an answer presented in blog posts or Stack Overflow topics. However, each new gem has an impact on the future maintenance cost of your application. Some gems are optimized for a short term perspective - they give you an instant burst of productivity, but you have to pay for it later on. Other gems require more initial effort on your side, but they are much more flexible when you have to introduce some non-standard changes. In this talk I will show you how to select gems for a long term perspective - as if you were to support your application for the next 5 years.

Every once in a while the reality of life, ….. and in fact death, causes me to stop in my tracks and reassess my life and my place in this world. This past week has been one of those very reflective weeks.
After years of soul-searching I think I now have a better understanding of how this life works and I realise that God has an individual plan for each of us. We are never privy to this information though, we can only hope that the life he has planned for us is going to be a long and very happy one.
Last Thursday afternoon my maternal uncle, one of my mothers younger brothers, passed away suddenly after a very short illness. He lived in Australia so I hadn't seen him for several years. But that doesn't make it any easier. In fact it probably makes it all the more sad and difficult due to the fact that, even though long periods of time had passed since I last saw him, I now know that this is one more very loved family member that I am never going to get to see again.
It's made me once again realise that our time on this earth is finite, and we never know when it will be our turn to say goodbye. It has also made me realise that over the space of hundreds and hundreds of years, all of my ancestors I have lovingly searched for and wanted to find out so much about, they too have suffered loss and grief, often in circumstances that we today will never comprehend or fully understand.
It's made me all the more determined to keep searching and keep recording what I find about my family members who have gone before me. As I've previously stated on this blog, I feel it is my purpose on this earth to be the link between the past and the future. So with renewed vigour, and a bit of a heavy heart, I will continue with my mission to document, preserve and share their stories. All of our ancestors and our much loved family members deserve to be remembered, and if they are remembered they will never truly die.

My Uncle Paul was a free spirit. He loved life and he lived it his way.
He loved his family and his five sons meant the absolute world to him.
Rest in peace Uncle Paul.
You are loved by us all and you will never be forgotten.
Sending lots of love and hugs to all your family in Australia.

1.6M Illegals Were Allowed To Overstay Visas Under Obama, ICE Now Responsible
Thank goodness Obama is out of office. The-ex president ignored a whopping 1.6 million visa overstays between 2013 and 2015. Apparently capturing illegals was a "low priority" for crooked Obama.
The ex-president and his cohort of radicals cared far more about pushing their leftist agenda than they did about protecting everyday Americans. Overstays are potentially as dangerous as border jumpers. They're individuals who had the money to enter the U.S, but lack either the funds or the desire to remain legally.
In Obama-land, you're not only responsible for taking care of yourself and your family, but money is skimmed from your paychecks and given to illegal loafers who won't go back to their own country.
"Overstays pose an increasingly prominent problem in illegal immigration, with estimates saying that as the border has become more secure, migrants are attempting to enter by getting legal passes and refusing to leave when their time is up," notes The Washington Times.
The problem is so severe that agents can't even be even certain of their numbers. They know that at least 1.6 million refused to go home over a 2 year period, but the real number could be much higher.
"Currently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does not comprehensively match entry and exit records. This means they have no way of assessing the size of the problem. They also cannot ascertain which countries overstayers are coming from…"
This should be alarming to every American who cares about national security. Islamic terror cells are embedded in the U.S. The followers of Allah are calling for blood- our blood. Sure some of the overstays might be drunken students with a loose plan of traveling the states, but good luck telling them apart from ISIS devotees biding their time until they strike.
"ERO did not send any of the referrals to ICE field offices for enforcement action because the overstay lead referrals did not meet DHS' enforcement priorities," investigators said. "Specifically, ERO officials said that in most cases, overstay lead referrals do not have criminal convictions required to classify the referrals as DHS' enforcement priority."
Homeland security is out of its depth. Eight years of poor funding and little support are taking its toll. Agents lack the resources to track the millions of bodies streaming in and out of our borders everyday. Technological advances are poorly implemented. Facial recognition might be installed in an airport here, an airport there, but widespread use is still a far-off dream. Land ports are even more poorly controlled.
However, now that short-sighted Obama is gone we might actually start to see some changes. Unlike his predecessor, President Trump realizes the importance of border control. While the liberal media manufactures faux outrage over the president's supposedly "racist" policies, ICE and border patrol (i.e. people who actually know what they're talking about) are constantly praising Trump's agenda.
According to Breitbart "a 2006 study showed that roughly 45% of undocumented immigrants originally entered the US legally, but then remained in the country without authorization after their visas had expired."
45%. That's huge. The overstays are like their own little nation. They don't respect our rules but they aren't above fattening themselves on the taxpayers dime, eating up money and services meant for actual citizens.
Last year the administration released a pathetic excuse for a report on visa overstays. They supposedly kept track of business and tourist visas but ignored both student visas and the millions of migrants who arrived via land.
That's not good enough for Trump. Already, less than two months in office, Trump has demanded that agents compile a fully comprehensive report by May.
"Meanwhile," writes The Washington Times, "on the border, illegal immigration appeared to drop in January, compared with December, according to the latest numbers from U.S.Customs and Border Protection."
The total number of illegals creeping across the border dropped precipitously almost the moment that Trump's win was announced. Many of the migrants still risking the dangerous trek are being nabbed by border agents.
Immigration culture is rapidly evolving; the world we live in demands it. Threats are pouring in from every corner of the globe. ISIS's stated goal is the obliteration of the West and their methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. We need to protect ourselves, something that Obama repeatedly failed to do.
"Part of the problem is the way U.S. airports are laid out," notes USA Today. "Unlike many foreign airports that have separate areas for domestic and international flights, all departing flights from U.S. airports use the same terminals. That makes it difficult for Customs officers to pick out foreign travelers and collect their information."
Our entire immigration policy needs to change. We need to redesign our airports and spend more time screening entrants. Security at land ports need to be seriously beefed-up.
Trump is capable of doing this. Obama wasn't.
