Is Big T Really In the ECig Business for Profit?
The tobacco industry is heavily invested in first generation "stick" style e-cigarettes (a/k/a cig-alikes); in fact, they currently make about 50% of the cig-alike brands sold, but are they in it because of the profits and because smoking is on the decline? I think not.
Some products (like those from Altria's Green Smoke), are still popular, but most of Big T's products (according to educated vapers and reviewers) are inferior. You'll find most of those sub-standard packets of ecigs lining the shelves of drug stores, gas stations and convenience stores. Smokers buy them; try them, and quickly go back to smoking killer cigarettes. I hear that story again and again from smokers I interview.
The Innovative ECigarette Companies
In case you haven't noticed, most independent on-line e-cigarette companies are offering more than just quality-tested "stick" style e-cigarettes; they're now offering products like e-liquids, personal vaporizers and other higher end tank systems, while tobacco owned companies like Green Smoke still have the same first generation cig-alike line up. It's not that Atlria, and the rest of the Big T boys lack the skills or funds to improve their product; they do. But that would mean even fewer tobacco sales.
They have good reason to fear e-cigarette innovation.
The tobacco industry is well aware that they sell an inferior product, one that will insure vapers go back to smoking tobacco. What's more, if the innovative second and third generation e-cigarettes are not heavily regulated, the tobacco giants will lose.
The Current State of the Market
E-cig personal vaporizers (second and third generation ecigs) give vapers more control, more flavor, more vapor and they are becoming extremely popular; in fact, the market for e-cigarettes is now split between first generation cigs-a-likes and vaporizers. Statistics now show the scales are tipping in favor of the second generation products.
Halo Cigs' Triton Tank System is outselling their award-winning cig-alike, the G6. It's one reason both companies have introduced an intermediate vaporizer, the mini e-liquid tank that fits perfectly on their 1st generation "cig-alike" models.
Wells Fargo confirms that the "stick", first generation e-cigarette market is not growing nearly as fast as the second (and third generation) line of vaporizers and MODS.
That means the tobacco giants are losing the e-cigarette race while their tobacco sales continue to diminish. Time for dirty corporate tactics.
The Tobacco Industry's Self-Serving Agenda
Big Tobacco is pressuring the FDA to create stricter regulations on e-liquids, crucial to 2nd generation ecigs, and they support deeming regulations that include costly, unreasonable filings from private e-cigarette companies every time a new product is introduced. E-cigarette companies must also file for approval of the first ecig products created before February 15th, 2007.
Dr. Michael Seigel, tobacco control specialist at the Boston University School of Public Health, said the FDA's deemed regulations requiring these filings appears to be a victory for Big Tobacco.
"Smaller players in the industry could be driven out of business because of the cost of earning FDA approval for new or existing products, which would have two years to win the FDA stamp or be removed from shelves. That could check the growth of e-cigarettes, fueled in part by variety, and drive sales toward the three tobacco industry giants, which have invested in developing their own e-cigarettes or acquiring existing lines, and which would be better able to afford the application process."
Critical Mass to the Rescue
While the big boys lobby to save their shirts and the FDA drags its feet, the private e-cigarette industry continues to grow exponentially.
Innovative, safety minded companies like South Beach Smoke, Apollo and Halo (to mention some of the top ecigarette innovators), continue to release improved, more sophisticated and more satisfying vaping products. They adhere to strict safety standards and they are preparing for deeming FDA regulations.
CASAA – The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association has made it easy for all vapers to contact their state representatives and senators to request they vote for fair regulations that focus on quality e-cigarette production and age restrictions and less on costly, unreasonable new product filings that will stifle ecig innovation.
Smokers who have tried pharmaceutical nicotine replacement products and failed, continue to be attracted to e-cigarettes; the smoking alternative more doctors are recommending; one that offers the physical sensation of smoking without the tobacco combustion, tobacco smoke, flame or toxins of tobacco cigarettes.
In September of 2014 the CDC reported that e-cigarette use by American smokers and former smokers increased nearly fourfold from 2010 to 2013 going from 9.8 percent in 2010 to 36.5 percent in 2013.
The End of the Tobacco Industry?
The Chairman of the Tobacco Control Task Force, Dr. Joel Nitzkin has said,
"If we get all tobacco smokers to switch from regular cigarettes to electronic cigarettes, we would eventually reduce the US death toll from more than 400,000 a year to less than 4,000, maybe as low as 400."
E-cigarette use is a consumer phenomenon that has been called a "revolution" against tobacco. It is consumer driven. The tobacco giants know that once ecig use hits critical mass, it will become unstoppable and tobacco smoking may very well become a thing of the past. Perhaps then they will truly embrace the industry and will join the ranks of e-cigarette innovators.
It's easy to stand up for fair FDA regulations. Sign the CASAA petition now.

A flock of ducks found themselves in unfamiliar territory Tuesday evening, but thanks to Topeka police they were spared from harm and able to make their way back home.
Around 7:30 p.m., police responded to a call of ducks who were in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 near S.W. Gage.
Police used their vehicles to divert traffic around the ducks until they were able to get off the busy highway.
After about 30 minutes, the ducks finally got off the interstate and returned to a tree line on the south side of the interstate.
They weren't heard from again.
Ducks and geese frequently can be seen crossing the street in the same vicinity, near the Penwell-Gabel Cemetery at S.W. 6th and Gage.

How many Russians will compete at the Rio Olympics next month?
The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) had recommended they all be banned.
That was after its independently commissioned report found evidence of a four-year, state-run "doping programme" across the "vast majority" of Olympic sports.
But the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has said individual sporting federations must rule on whether Russians can compete.
Wada president Sir Craig Reedie said he was "disappointed" with that decision.
Russia's full Olympic team would have consisted of 387 competitors but the country's track and field athletes are already barred by athletics' governing body.
However, many other federations are yet to decide.
Of the 28 Olympic sports there are no Russian football, rugby, basketball or hockey teams.
The rest of the sports must rule and then put their decision forward to be ratified by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).
So which federations have decided already? And what have they decided?
Aquatics (swimming, diving & water polo)
Russians hoping to compete: 67
Decision: Some Russians have been banned, with further rulings to follow.
On Monday, swimming's governing body banned seven Russian athletes from going to Rio. Four were barred because they had served doping bans in the past and the other three because they were mentioned in the Wada-commissioned report that alleged state-sponsored doping in Russia.
Fina said the "exact implication for the Russian Swimming Federation is still to be clarified" and an "ad hoc commission will have to investigate".
It also said it will re-test all the samples collected from Russian swimmers at the 2015 World Championships.
Russians competing: Three
Decision: Russians can compete.
World Archery said the three Russians have been "tested extensively" and had no previous doping convictions. It expressed "shock and concern" over recent allegations but praised the IOC's "courageous decision" not to give Russia a "blanket ban".
Russians competing: None. Russian athletes have already been banned, though long jumper Darya Klishina has been cleared to compete as a "neutral".
Yuliya Stepanova, the 800m runner whose evidence helped expose the Russian doping scandal, will not be allowed to do the same, however. The IAAF had previously cleared her to compete, but the IOC's latest ruling disallows any athlete with a previous doping ban.
Stepanova has since questioned that ruling, describing it as "unfair".
Russians competing: Four
Decision: None yet, though one is expected soon.
Russians competing: 11
Decision: None yet.
Governing body the AIBA is "reviewing and analysing, on a case-by-case basis, the anti-doping record of the 11 Russian boxers currently qualified". It has said it will confirm with the IOC "in due course".
Canoeing and kayaking
Russians competing: 23
Decision: None yet.
The International Canoe Federation is looking to make a decision in the next 24 hours after its "executive examines the IOC decision".
Russians competing: 18
Decision: None yet.
Governing body the UCI is expected to make a decision in the coming days.
Russians competing: Five
Decision: Russians can compete.
Governing body the FEI says there is "no indication of any organised doping malpractices within the Russian equestrian delegation". It adds there is "absolutely no reason why the Russian equestrian athletes should not compete at Rio".
Russians competing: 16
Decision: None yet.
Russians competing: One
Decision: None yet.
Russians competing: 21
Decision: None yet.
The International Gymnastics Federation previously said it was opposed to a blanket ban, and on Monday said it would establish a "pool of eligible Russian athletes" as soon as possible.
Russians competing: 14
Decision: None yet.
The International Handball Federation said on Monday it took "immediate action" to re-test Russian athletes following the IOC's ruling and is expected to make a further statement soon.
Russians competing: 11
Decision: None yet.
In a statement released on Sunday, the International Judo Federation, whose honorary president is Russian President Vladimir Putin, said it has already tested 84% of the athletes qualified to compete in Rio.
That statement made no specific mention of the 11 Russian judokas who are hoping to compete.
Modern pentathlon
Russians competing: Four
Decision: None yet, but a statement is expected over the coming days.
Russians competing: 25
Decision: The executive committee of governing body Fisa met to discuss the issue on Monday and decided to ban three athletes - and warned more could follow.
It had already banned the Russian men's quadruple sculls for a doping violation.
Russians competing: Seven
Decision: None yet.
Russians competing: 20
Decision: None yet.
Table tennis
Russians competing: Three
Decision: None yet.
The International Table Tennis Federation is "investigating table tennis' involvement" in the Wada-commissioned report and will decide on Wednesday if the three qualified Russian players can compete.
Russians competing: Three
Decision: None yet.
Russians competing: Eight
Decision: Russians can compete.
The International Tennis Federation said the nominated Russians have been tested 205 times between them since 2014, adding that is "sufficient" for them to go to Rio.
Russians competing: Six
Decision: None yet.
Russians competing: Six
Decision: Russians can compete.
Governing body the FIVB says: "Russian athletes have been tested at the same level as all other countries and the majority of the testing analysis of Russian athletes has been conducted outside of Russia.
"The FIVB has a zero-tolerance policy towards doping and has total confidence in its anti-doping system."
Russians competing: Eight
Decision: None yet.
Governing body the IWF says it is "awaiting evidence to be provided by Russian athletes".
It says it has contacted the IOC and Wada for "further clarification" and its executive board will issue the final decision on the eligibility of the Russian weightlifters once the evidence has been evaluated.
Russians competing: 17
Decision: None yet, but a statement is expected on Monday.

SLEDGE (short story) by Ernie Lindsey
Published by Amazon Digital Services as an e-book.
Estimated length is 35 printed pages.
Mary Walker is a private detective these days. Five years ago she was a police officer who confronted the serial killer known as "Sledge." He earned that name by killing three police officers with a sledge hammer. Mary was the only one to survive a confrontation with Sledge. He smashed her thighbone with the hammer and then let the head of the hammer rest on her throat. She choked until she passed out and then, inexplicably, he left her there.
Walker quit the force and when the story starts she is a struggling private detective staking out the loading dock of a furniture factory when she discovers that Sledge is back and he has unfinished business with her...
I rate this short story 4 out of 5 stars. Walker is an interesting character, the action is solid, a mood of foreboding and dread is created and there is a bit of a twist at the end.

First 24 Hours in Nunavut
To answer any immediate questions:
- No, there are NOT any polar bears in my front yard.
- Yes, it is cold. Not too cold though.
- No, we don't live in an igloo!
However, we'll recap the day that was on the way from Toronto to Baker Lake.
At 7:45 AM Eastern Time, we caught the shuttle service from our hotel to Pearson. When we got to Pearson, we had to do the usual checking in. Since we were moving, and since we had "too much stuff", we paid our overage on our luggage and then found our gate. We then got some Tim Hortons, because it was the only reasonably priced food at the airport, and waited for the 10 AM flight to Winnipeg.
The flight to Winnipeg lasted about 2.5 hours, and we were able to pass the time by watching a movie. We both chose Horton Hears a Who. Not a bad movie, not a great movie. Worth watching though. This flight would be the worst one of the day for us, and it was very bumpy.
We got to Winnipeg and the weather proved why it is a world class city - cold and rainy. :P
We grabbed lunch at a restaurant and waited once again for our flight, this time to Churchill, Manitoba.
Of course, as we are waiting at the gate, something somewhere went wrong with a Calm Air plane and we had to wait nearly an extra hour to board the plan to Churchill. Once we got going, we went to Arviat, Nunavut for about five minutes, and headed out to Rankin Inlet. We landed there and we waited for about 25 minutes for a refuel and such, and we finally got on the plane to head for Baker Lake - one hour behind schedule.
We landed at the Baker Lake Airport at 10 PM Central Time. Once we got our luggage - and it was all there to our surprise - we waited to get picked up.
And waited...
Nobody to pick us up.
So Mike asked the lady at the front desk about it while Grace guarded the luggage. The lady at the counter told Mike that there was a little mix up at the store about when we were coming in.
The assistant manager, Ken, was told that we weren't going to be in until Tuesday night at 9, and we were told Monday night at 9. Anywho, after one phone call and about 5 minutes, a big cloud of dust came up the road - Ken in a Northern truck.
Ken took us to the store to pick up some food for breakfast - at this point it's 11 PM - and we were a little surprised by the prices of some things.
Here's an example:
- Large jar of Cheese Whiz: $17.99
- 10lb Bag of Red Potatoes: $18.89
- Small bag of flour: $10.45
- 2L Bottle of Coke: $12.99
All we could say is thank God for a food allowance!
We got to the apartment around 11:30, got comfortable and fell asleep.
We ended up having today off, so we gave the apartment a good cleaning and got unpacked and did some more shopping. Pretty uneventful day.
Below are some pictures of the apartment. Enjoy!

How's it going up in the Great White North eh you hosers?
Glad to see everything went ok (for the most part) and I think the question everybody is dying to ask is:
How much does a case of beer cost up there?
- June 12, 2008 at 2:23 PM
- Richard said...
Think of the money saved on refrigeration of the beer though. That has to be taken into account.

Review by Jerry L. Nelson
Not since Christmas when I was ten years old have I been filled with as much anticipation....as much glee…as much excitement as any young boy from South Central Texas can be when he is anticipating getting his very own .22 caliber rifle. I would be the master of the family farm. There would not be a rabbit safe from Dead Eye Dick. I would bring down droves of doves on the wing. Had there been a moose in my yard, it, too, would have fallen prey to my hunting prowess. I watched my father carry in a long, slender, wrapped package and place it under the tree some days before the big event. Ralphie had nothing on me for this was to be my best Christmas ever. Alas, the only thing that rained downed from the skies were the tears of my disappointment, for the package I so hoped would be mine went, instead, to my mother. What on earth did she want with a .22? Well, it turned out to be a knitting machine. My mother loved to knit and my father thought he was doing her a favor in getting her the latest design on the market to speed her along. Oh brother, did he blow it, big time. You see, my mother liked to knit for the sheer pleasure of the act itself…needles click-clacking away. Any by-product in the form of sweaters, socks, mittens and scarves that emerged as a result of her pleasurable relaxation was looked on by her as a plus…and believe me, we had our share of pluses. There is still one hanging in my closet today, nearly fifty years later. That knitting machine sat in a closet for nearly thirty years, used only once until sold at a garage sale where the knitter netted maybe twenty dollars. Sorry Pops, you would have done better had you bought me the .22 I hoped for. But I digress.
Once again, I was filled with anticipation…glee…excitement; for I was in Bulverde, Texas and was about to dine at a restaurant cheffed by a real CIA graduate. Chef/Owner Scott Dunlap and his lovely companion, Mia Phouvanh, are the proprietors of the Vintage Wine and Coffee Bar located at 2295-3 Bulverde Road about one mile west of U. S. 281. Chef Scott has been the owner of the Vintage, a local landmark, for some months now and by this point should have turned the menu into his signature. I felt like Herbert Lom in "Return of the Pink Panther". I was beginning to twitch with giddiness. What delights awaited me and Friend? What refinement was lurking just beneath the napkins? Oh, would the residents of the area no longer be forced to drive all the way into San Antonio to get something more than chicken fried steak.
Friend and I got there early, not wanting to miss out on one second of dining ecstasy. Mai greeted us warmly as we entered. The interior is a mix of styles from the South American Coffee sacks that hang from the rafters to walls spotted with photos of stars and starlets from years, no, make that generations past…and it works. Add to this the rustic tub chairs at many of the tables and you settle in comfortably where you are served by a very friendly "Charity". She is bright and full of smiles for the evening, even when you can't make up your mind.
Friend and I opted for a small cheese tray for two as an appetizer with added sausage ($15 with the sausage, $12 without.) Let me go on record right now…this is deception at its worst. This tray could easily feed four or five. The cheeses, gruyere, blue, goat with pine nuts and parsley and a brie were very pleasant…the accompanying grapes and olives added to the flavor explosion. There was plenty to go around. The only drawback is the bread he chooses to serve. For this offering, a crusty bagget would be better received…but, overall, very nice. Add to the cheese tray a very nice Sauvignon Blanc for me and a Cotes du' Rhone for Friend and we were off to a great start. Decision time. What were we going to have for the entrée?
I spotted the special on the chalk board as we entered earlier…a three cheese tortellini with chicken and smoked duck in a basil cream sauce plus dessert for $22…a fair deal. Friend was hankerin' for some chicken and selected the grilled chicken breast with roasted veggies ($18), a dish that is becoming rather standard in restaurants these days…still a good choice. But first I had to have a bowl of the Broccoli Cream soup. Now it was explained to me by Charity this was not the thick, creamy style but more on the broth side in regard to viscosity. It was a hit. Just the right "soupiness" and the flavor was spot on although the texture of the broccoli just crossed the line regarding mushiness. Friend had the house salad dressed with Balsamic and commented on the "rightness" of the dressing job…not something every place gets right. This one did.
We should have stopped right there.
I was told, after asking, the Vintage does not make their own tortellini, rather "someone else" makes it for them. This should have been a clue. I could do as well with the dried product available at the local market. Perhaps that's where he got it, or from his food service company. The "three" cheeses did nothing for the flavor and the pasta texture was overly tough, as was his mushroom ravioli tried on a previous visit. That one, Mai informed me, was made on site. (You may think it not fair to impart my opinion on the ravioli since we didn't have it this visit but it simply was not good when I did order it and I feel the need to pass it on). Chicken chunks are chicken chunks and were acceptable. The smoked duck reminded me of nothing more than smoked ham and had the same texture…as well as being very dry. On the entire, this dish reminded me of a very average Pasta Carbanara with not enough of the Basil Cream sauce…a major disappointment by one from the CIA. I could have had a better dish from Johnny Carino's.
Friend's grilled chicken was nothing more than "griddled" chicken…the kind you get when you pound a breast out to insure even cooking and then place a heavy weight on it so it doesn't curl while on the griddle…not a grill mark in sight, plus it was dry, not moist as he was assured it would be, one of the reasons Friend ordered it. George Foreman could have done a better job. He did like the four snow peas that came with it, though…but that's about it.
Time for dessert. I'm a key lime pie kind of guy and this offering did not disappoint. In fact, the filling was almost translucent in it's nature and even Friend liked the "pucker" quotient. He was disappointed in what heating it a bit did to the graham crust…made it a bit soggy. I didn't mind.
As I mentioned earlier, the price for my special was supposed to be $22 which included dessert. As it was, the items were separated out and I was charged individually for the entrée and the dessert…a difference of only one dollar more, but when an establishment lets little things like this get under the radar, what can the paying public expect when it comes to the more important issues?
On total for the evening, it can best be described as a "wash". The major disappointment was that a graduate of the CIA has not yet really put his mark on his restaurant. The décor is left over from the previous owner and some of the menu items seem to be carryovers. The wine list is very good and the place does have a following among the locals. Scott came out front and greeted several tables as old friends. He never stopped by our table. It reminds me of that Christmas so long ago…enough good things to offset the disappointments…but that one great thing anticipated was just not there. Here's hoping he finds that special something. I'm tired of driving to SA.
P.S. Dory, you're next. I promise.

Thank you! Great price + fast shipping :)
Very good product and Flubit found me a great price
Really good item, no issues with the buying process. Thanks!
Quick delivery. Excellent price, better than anywhere else.
All seems well with the product however the grate side for things such as the zest of fruits has slightly larger holes than last grater so I guess that will mean the zest won't great so fine.

Tu Microsoft has a history of coming out with products that are either before their time or whose execution or price don't jibe with consumers. Tablets or slates — used with styluses – were one such idea. So were smartwatches, known within Microsoft as SPOT — Smart Personal Objects Technology — Watches, that allowed subscribers to get information such as news headlines and stock quotes on their wristwatches. Microsoft sold the SPOT Watches for several years in the 2000s. Now, Microsoft is apparently again interested in smartwatches. The Wall Street Journal reports that Microsoft is working on a touch-enabled watch device. Citing unnamed executives, the Journal said Microsoft had asked suppliers in Asia to ship components for such a device but that it was unclear whether the company would go ahead with manufacturing it. A Microsoft spokeswoman said the company "is not commenting on rumors and speculation." The idea of smartwatches seeems to be gaining interest — again — especially with reports earlier this year that Apple is supposedly working on an iWatch.

Basic patterns in German language
Word order in German
English has rules about the order of words in a sentence. The basic pattern is the order subject – finite verb – object (S–V–O). In comparison German word order is more flexible than English word order. But there are still some patterns and rules in German.
Word order
The position of the verb:
The main rule for word order in German is that the verb must be in second position in statements and in subordinating clauses the finite verb is sent to the end. So the basic pattern in German is often just like the English one: subject – verb – object. If there are two verbs in a sentence, oneverb form – the finite verb – goes into the second position, while the other verb form (the infinitive or the participle) is sent to the end of the clause.
But there are some instances where the finite verb is not in second position and comes first in the sentence: yes/no-questions, the imperative,
The position of the sbujcet:
Mostly the subject is the first position (S-V-O), but if the subject is not in first position in a sentence, it is placed directly after the finite verb (called subject–verb inversion). In German the verb comes before the subject if you have the expression of time in first place. This causes often problems for English speakers.
The position of objects
Another rule to sequence of various elements in a sentence is that expressions of time come before manner (how something is done) and the description of a place (Time – Manner – Place). It is very common to have descriptions of time or place in first position.

An exciting week for writer-director Richard Rowntree and Ash Mountain Films as their second feature, the home invasion horror thriller NEFARIOUS hit its £20k target on Kickstarter with almost a week still to run of their crowd-funding campaign.
This follows the news that their debut feature film, the multi award-winning folk horror DOGGED, now has a release date of 9th July from Left Films, and is available for pre-order on Amazon.
And, although the filmmakers can now breathe a collective sigh of relief that their extensive efforts to reach and engage their audience, persuading them to swap their cash for some rather tasty rewards (everything from downloads, mugs and actual props, to set visits, screening tickets and producer credits) now mean that NEFARIOUS will be able to go into production very soon, the team are not the type to sit back and rest on their laurels.
Instead, they're pulling out all the stops, making the most of the final few days of the campaign – which ends at 4.36pm on Friday 18th May – and encouraging backers to keep pledging and unlocking new rewards on their 'Stretch' Goals. This means more rehearsal time with the cast, better equipment rentals and a more convincing set build.
Check out home invasion horror thriller NEFARIOUS' crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter
Richard Rowntree recently chatted with Horror Island's Dan Collacott, saying:
"What struck us is the place that people feel the need to be safest is in their own homes, so we thought that would be a good way to exploit those fears, by having a home invasion movie. But we didn't want to make something formulaic, so we livened things up a bit and it's told from the point-of-view of the people breaking into the house, rather than the people it's happening to."
Nefarious is already 90% cast with, says Richard, "a fabulous guy called Toby Wynn-Davies, who played the villain in Dogged, he's coming back with us in a big role. Greg Smith as well… Nadia Lamin … both were in Dogged. And we've got a couple of new people we're really excited to work with – Abbey Gillet and a guy called Aaron Thomas Ward, who horror fans might know. He's the star of the CryptTV short film called The Birch – it's had, I think, about 4.5m views on YouTube. That's another [with] a kind of folk horror vibe to it. He's a great upcoming actor.
"The important thing for us, I think, is working with people who are fully engaged with the project. Nobody on our film gets paid a penny, which is really unusual, and we're quite stringent about that. They're doing it because of the love of filmmaking and, hopefully, the actors are doing it because they've got confidence in the fact that we're going to produce something that's worthwhile for them. Giving them leading roles in a feature film, it's a chance that they're taking as much as it is anything else, because they could be out there, taking paid work … but hopefully they've got confidence in the script."
Sometimes, you have to turn to crime. Sometimes, it turns on you.
NEFARIOUS tells the story of four ne'er-do-wells, living in poverty on a sink estate, indebted to the local criminal kingpin. As they take matters in their own hands with a somewhat questionable solution, they find themselves in way over their heads and 'will be tested to their limits in a desperate attempt to survive a predator of monstrous proportions.'
Says Richard: "We make it very clear, right from the off, that these are unpleasant people, but we're gonna force you to side with them because the kind of threat that comes upon them is something even more abhorrent, and we've kind of tried to play with a few different genre tropes, as it were."
Nefarious. It means extremely wicked or villainous.
As with Dogged, "There's a little bit of ambiguity with both of them [the films] about which characters in the story the titles relate to", explains Richard. "There's the extremely wicked or villainous that comes out in all of us when you're faced with a situation where you've got to try and survive, and the lengths that you'll go to to do that."
Richard, who co-writes the script with Matthew Davies, is a big fan of unexpected, often bleak endings, the type that leave you wondering. He points to the fact that being a totally independent production allows them to "push the envelope". He says:
"Because we're not financed by a studio or private investors, who are looking to make their money back, we're kind of lucky in that we can do those kind of endings and we make these movies because we're guys in our mid to late thirties and we make movies that we want to watch ourselves."
Judging by the success of their Nefarious Kickstarter crowding campaign, there are a lot more who want to watch them too.
Listen to the full podcast interview with Richard Rowntree
Horror Island writer Dan Collacott talks to Richard Rowntree about his experiences making the critically acclaimed folk horror movie Dogged, from writing, filming, casting, on set revelations and some of the secrets behind his new project – twisted home invasion movie Nefarious.

O.K. so it's going to be a pretty busy week – all-in-all I think I have three projects going live in the next seven days.
The first of which is Kids Draw for East Africa. I cooked the whole thing up with my wife, Charlotte, who's one of the many at Made by Many who are the people behind the 5050 good project. The 5050 good project intends to launch 50 projects in 50 days then raise £1million for famine relief in East Africa – a wide range of people have contributed so far, from individuals like Charlotte and I, to groups like Grey, Sapient, Fallon and Dentsu.
As parents of a toddler ourselves, we were both horrified by the child mortality statistics quoted by UNICEF, and decided that we wanted to do something to help.
Our daughter brings armfuls of paintings home from nursery every week and because our extended family are dispersed around the UK, most of the time they don't get to see her handiwork (apart from the occasional show and tell on Skype).
This gave us the idea that by auctioning kids' artwork online, we could give grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends the opportunity to pay for something we gave away free.
To keep things really simple we 'recycled' the mechanic from Poke's rather excellent The 100 Project and used eBay to power the auctions. And we've taken the decision not to use eBay for Charity because we'd rather there was no 9% cut taken by a third party. Instead, we'll be donating 100% of the funds direct to UNICEF.
The site went live at the weekend with some truly brilliant contributions from kids aged between 2 and 7. Which means we now need some people to get the bidding going (it's already quite fierce on a couple of them). We can't wait to see how competitive different branches of one family can be on outbidding each other in aid of famine relief. And no parent is going to see their child's painting go for less than a fiver. It's a win/win situation…
And you can't underestimate how exciting it is for kids to see their pictures auctioned online, to feel like they're actually doing something directly to help other people.
So, if you have kids and would like to take part there are more details here, but it's pretty simple – just send us a photo of their drawing to kidsdraw5050[at]gmail[dot]com, with their first name, age and title of the drawing. And we'll get in touch with you with the address of where to send it when the auction is over.
Otherwise log into e-bay and get bidding.

Top Mobile Malware of The Past Year? Trojans Exploiting 'Super-User Rights'
Last year was a bumper crop year for malicious installations — in fact, 2016 featured a near-threefold rise in mobile malware detections compared to 2015. About 8.5 million malicious installations have been identified.
This finding is just one of the highlights of Kaspersky Lab's annual "Mobile Virusology" report, which also documents the evolution of mobile banking Trojans.
"This means that, in the space of just one year, a volume equivalent to 50 percent of all the malware detected in the previous 11 years (15.77 million in 2004 – 2015) was released," note the report authors. "Leading the way were mobile advertising Trojans which now make up 16 of the top 20 malicious programs, up from 12 in 2015."
The Kaspersky Lab report also reveals that in 2016:
- There were nearly 40 million attack attempts by mobile malware, with over 4 million users of Android-based devices protected (vs 2.6 million in 2015)
- More than 260,000 detections of installation packages for mobile ransomware Trojans (an increase of almost 8.5 times, year-on-year) were found
- More than 153,000 unique users were targeted by mobile ransomware (an increase of 1.6 times compared with 2015)
- More than 128,000 mobile banking Trojans were detected (nearly 1.6 times more than in 2015)
"The most widespread type of Trojan in 2016 was the advertising variety, accounting for 16 of the top 20 malware programs," the report notes. "These Trojans are capable of seizing rooting rights, allowing the malware to not only aggressively display ads on the infected device, often making it impossible to use, but also to secretly install other applications. These Trojans can also buy apps on Google Play."
Unfortunately, because many users failed to install updates, Trojans were able to exploit vulnerabilities.
Mobile banking Trojans remain "a skyrocketing threat."
"In 2016, more than 305,000 users in 164 countries were attacked by mobile banking Trojans, compared with over 56,000 users in 137 countries the previous year," the report concludes. "Russia, Australia, and Ukraine are the top three countries affected in terms of the percentage of users attacked by mobile banking Trojans relative to all users hit by mobile malware," according to the provided report summary.

I chose some alchemical symbols for this new website. In my view, circling is alchemy. All transformation is alchemy. And I simply LOVE mystical things that produce change, create magic and manifest what we desire.
My favorite is a sensational drawing by the Weber brothers. It was made in 1825 when they observed the changing waves created by a drop of mercury added into a pool of mercury. Things like this genuinely fascinate me! Check variations of the drawing on the ABOUT page.
I truly enjoyed building this site and I hope you will have just as much fun while you read and browse through it. There is something for everyone: some cool images, a bit of reading for those who really want to know, and some amazing programs for those who are ready for change. Check it out, enjoy it, and if you are inspired to offer feedback—I will know that you care.

Top Incomes in France in the Twentieth Century by Thomas Piketty/
Top Incomes in France in the Twentieth Century
by Thomas Piketty
translated from the French by Seth Ackerman
The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2018
Well-intentioned readers who felt browbeaten and perhaps a trifle aggrieved by the explosive ubiquity of the 2014 English-language translation of French economist Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twentieth Century, readers who felt oppressed by the book's endless, stem-winding reviews in journals where they'd otherwise be contentedly reading about some new attempt at a Henry Green revival, readers who plaintively wondered if it was really incumbent upon them to digest this massive fondue of financial facts and figures, such readers may have sighed in relief once the whole ghastly tourbillon had finally over.
Those readers – and we are all those readers – will now be regarding the good folks at Harvard's Belknap Press with a steady, almost inimical gaze, with a slight side-to-side grinding motion of the jawline, with the sudden bodily immobility of the unexpectedly accosted, because Belknap has delivered forth another helping of Piketty for the Spring book season, and Top Incomes in France in the Twentieth Century is not only twice as long as Capital in the Twentieth Century but also half as digestible.
The later book is actually the earlier. Les hauts revenues en France au XX e siècle: Inégalités et redistributions, 1901-1998 first appeared in 2001 and might very well have remained untranslated if not for the unlikely success of Capital. At 1,250 pages, Top Incomes is the vast drab informational workload from which Piketty later crafted the gay romp of Capital, so the two books understandably share a worldview, a philosophy, and a certain way with spreadsheets. This earlier tome aims to be nothing less than a biography of France's economy for the entire length of a century, a mind-boggling undertaking that does not, it must be admitted, translate into thirstily compulsive reading. Piketty has consulted God only knows how many reams of tabulated data on French taxes and incomes over the course of the 20th century, studying the ways incomes fluctuate and the factors that determine what widens and narrows income inequality.
The reading is frankly arduous, despite Piketty's clear and energetic prose (translated here by Seth Ackerman, who's presumably now being given the gentlest hospice care), and the story is an increasingly dark one. Piketty isn't anywhere here actually trying to tell that story, but for the maniacally dogged reader, a story emerges anyway, a story of the inexorable centralization not of political power but of political power's control over the markets. With lapses and occasional backtracking, the pattern sharpens decade by decade, with financial tightening of penalties and bonuses steadily moving in the direction of greater control:
We should underscore the distance that has been traveled: in the 1917 tax year, all wage earners, including the highest-paid, benefited from a system of tax advantages relative to the self-employed, relative even to the most impoverished self-employed workers, who, with very few exceptions, were treated the same as the biggest publicly listed corporations; at the very end of the century, wage earners and self-employed workers were subject to the same tax conditions, and the only categories of "workers" disadvantaged by the law were with earned incomes above a certain threshold, whether these "workers" were wage earners or self-employed.
"First and foremost," Piketty writes in a sentiment that will be familiar to anybody who actually tackled Capital, whether they liked it or not, "the history of this shift confirms that the weight of ideology cannot be ignored." This author's distinctive signature, this infusing of math with musing, fills Top Incomes in just the way it did Capital, but with far less summary and no concision, not the smallest sop tossed to the intrepid trekker. Unlike Capital, there isn't the slightest thing inviting about Top Incomes; it won't become an unexpected cause célèbre in the literary press, although it might be studied in college economics classes. As if econ students weren't depressed enough.

How Long Does It Take a Child to Learn to Swim?
One of the most frequent questions we get from parents at Little Fishes Swim School is: How long will it take my child to learn to swim? It's a valid—after all, the sooner they can swim, the less opportunity there is for drowning. Unfortunately, it's not an easy question to answer. The fact is—it just depends. Each little fish is unique, and there are many factors that could determine their progression timeline. Below are the top three things to consider.
- Like with any new skill, practice and exposure are the keys to learning. Children need regular guided practice to learn swimming, and maintain their physical and cognitive growth milestones. Regression is common among young children that swim only seasonally, and the idea that a child will pick up where they left off is not realistic. In fact, the longer a child is away from swimming, the longer it takes him or her to work back to the initial skill level.
- Class size. Group lessons are often ideal for beginners because it gives them the opportunity to learn and draw motivation from their peers. However, if the class size is too large, students spend much of their lesson waiting for their turn. That's why Little Fishes Swim School offers small class sizes to ensure individualized instruction—which leads to quicker progression.
- It is recommended that children be introduced to water at the earliest age possible. As we mentioned in an earlier post, a baby's brain is developing rapidly. When parents nurture an infant's natural love of water, a baby is more likely to have successful and safe water experiences throughout a lifetime. However, depending on the previous factors we've noted, an older child can learn just ask quickly and successfully.
With those factors in mind, we recommend that children attend frequent, year-round practices and begin swimming at a young age. But again, it depends on your child. Other various factors—including fear of water and natural ability—may also slow down or speed up the process. Ultimately, it's important to remember that each little fish will learn at his or her own speed. If you want them to develop skills properly—and have fun while doing so—don't rush it.

Lots of space for airflow and additional cooling in the future, instantly cooling my system being in this case by a lot (old case had it running at 50, it is now 30) .
The fans at the front are nice and quiet didn't know they lit up but look nice not cheap. nice and easy to build in and good space for wire tidying as well!
No issues, no negatives, wonderful affordable fantastic case!

I was so excited when I found this decal like this one. I've wanted a coexist decal for ages but didn't want the traditional ones you see day to day. Twas an instant order when I came acrossed this crazy random colors and cartoon like style.
Shipping was fast and in addition to my decal, I was sent a "believe in coexistence" decal & a catalog with all sorts of amazing items arranged from shirts to xmas ornaments! Very impressed with this order and plan to order again soon.
It's so colorful and I've been told its very easy to see. I had to order 2. My husband works somewhere that all kinds of people wonder when they see this what it really means. He is asked ALOT he simply replies we all need to exist on the planet equally with no problems.
We both recommend this sticker to anyone.

Peace Sign Symbol Car Window Wall Laptop Decal Sticker — White 3in X 3in
This sticker isn't exactly what I was looking for. It is a plastic/vinyl? sticker, like a bumper sticker. I wanted one of those rub-on decals. Because I was not prepared for a sticker, I peeled off the protective top cover.
So, I was left with having to peel the sticker off of the back cover too. That meant I was left with a loose open shaped peace sign to try and get it on my window straight. It was tough to get on my window straight.
To make things more difficult, the corner of the window I put it on is curved. I ended up with a couple wrinkles in the sticker when I got it on the window. I could not straighten out the wrinkles. If you want a sticker, this may be the product to you.
Leave the top cover on and peel the bottom cover off. This will maintain the shape of the peace sign as you adhere it to the desired surface. Maybe that would have worked for me.

Started to peel off after not quite 24 hours (yes, it was applied properly to a clean window).And the packaging… OVERKILL.Originally gave this 2 stars. I hoped I might get a response of some sort from the company.
After 13 or so days, nothing.So, removed a star and vehemently advise against buying this defective piece of garbage.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - For couples struggling to become parents, the journey to overcome infertility can be difficult, emotional and expensive.
Meanwhile, many friends and family members struggle with how to be supportive.
A new documentary is helping not just couples but also those who care about them.
[LINK: UNC Charlotte Infertility Documentary]
Students in the master's degree program in communication studies at UNC Charlotte created the documentary. Professors Dr. Margaret Quinlan and Bethany Johnson designed the project, after Johnson's own experience with infertility.
"Any disappointment I had or any struggle I had, I felt like I was constantly talking with other people who understood," Johnson said.
Students interviewed more than 20 people across the country to see the diagnosis from every point of view.
Studnet Cameron Davis said the project turned into a mission to show couples they have support.
"I know what not to say to people who are going through fertility treatments and I think I would be a much better friend to someone," Davis said.
Davis also learned about the importance of sensitivity, such as not offering advice or asking when someone will have children.
"We've worked with professional artists and graphic designers to design greeting cards to give to people going through the treatment," Quinlan said.
Students hope the project will reach beyond campus to help people understand the intimate and emotional journey of infertility.
"If you can't bridge the gap between academics and people in the community, what have you really done?" Davis said.
The project will be a part of a traveling exhibit called "The Art of Infertility." Students also hope to enter the documentary in film competitions.

Police have identified a 60-year-old Jacksonville man found shot late Sunday in his North Myrtle Avenue apartment as Eddie Chaplin.
Officers were sent to the apartment in the 2400 block just after 10 p.m. on a call of a person shot and found him wounded inside, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. Witnesses told officers they saw two young men fleeing the scene, but police have no motive for the shooting. Chaplin was taken to a local hospital, where he died a short time later from his injuries.
Anyone with information can contact the Sheriff's Office at (904) 630-0500 or First Coast Crime Stoppers at (866) 845-8477 (845-TIPS) to remain anonymous and be eligible for rewards. Or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.

Commentary: Rooting out Medicare fraud
According to legend, the late Willie Sutton, who stole an estimated $2 million during his 40-year crime spree, said that he robbed banks because ``that's where the money is.'' Poor Willie. By today's standards, he would be a piker, and a fool to boot.
Any self-respecting thief could tell him that the real money these days is in Medicare fraud. The money's better, there's less chance of getting caught and it's safer than walking into a bank full of armed guards and yelling, ``Stick 'em up!'' Last week's takedown of a Miami-based Medicare fraud factory offers an audacious case in point.
Federal prosecutors charged four executives of American Therapeutic Corp., the nation's largest chain of mental-health clinics, with scheming to fleece $200 million from Medicare by submitting bogus claims. Medicare actually paid the company $83 million since 2003.
Hurrah! We're all in favor of shutting down criminal enterprises, but it's nothing short of outrageous that a crime of such mind-boggling scope could be allowed to go undetected for so long. Taxpayers should be alarmed about what this story reveals regarding the government's poor record of dealing with Medicare fraud.
The most troubling aspect is that the alleged conspiracy had been going on for some eight years before the government got wind of it. How many bogus claims does a company have to submit before someone smells a rat?

Isa Time
First of all, thank you all for the outpouring of support and encouragement about the blog! It means so much to me.
Second of all, introducing the first member of a very important family - The Gargione Family. Yes, it's all capitalized. Yesterday, Harper spent the first of many afternoons with Isabella, my sister in every sense of the word other than the fact that we do not share the same parents. Isa grew up next door in Pennington (at 11 Park Avenue, since 9 Park Avenue is a phantom and 11 and 7 are next to each other). For anyone who has ever visited my Instagram page, the Gargione kitchen is the one that screams to any stranger: "WELCOME!! COME HAVE A WARM (in every sense of the word), LOUD, HILARIOUS DINNER WITH US!! YOU'LL ARRIVE AT 7 AND LEAVE AT MIDNIGHT, AND WILL BE INVITED BACK FOR CHRISTMAS!" Said dinners involve food for thousands and three actual seatings - arrival seating, seconds, and 10 p.m. thirds. And that's before you get to your goodie bag: the five containers of Max's homemade-and-now-selling-big Camella sauces, named after the town where Italo grew up.
The Gargiones have been a huge part of our lives and Harper is so lucky to have this boisterous bunch of Italians and Italian-Americans in her corner. Isa is now at AU and has rightfully and immediately assumed the role of Aunt and babysitter numero uno (see how I did that? Have I mentioned they're Italian?).

Henryka Amber and Silver Jewellery Hereford
One of the country's top amber experts, Henryka Amber & Silver Jewellery, is actually based in the nearby market town of Hereford and has been combining genuine beautiful Baltic amber with high quality silver into unique and unusual pieces of jewellery for many many years. Their latest combination of amber with linen is yet another design concept by company founder, Anna Emmett.
"Naturally formed amber and silver have always felt to me like they were destined to be brought together to form the most stunning jewellery pieces." Said Anna Emmett. "The same with amber and linen – they make a very natural combination."
"Pieces of colourful amber sit amongst strands of natural linen in handmade necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Every one is different and totally exclusive to Henryka."
"Our new amber and linen combination is just the latest addition to the Henryka Jewellery range – modern elegant shapes resulting in timeless classics that are equally suited for casual wear as they are for smart. "
Henryka Jewellery is on-line at www.henryka.co.uk and at, what can only be described as 'quirky', their showroom and head office, housed in an imposing building that was once a traditional Doll's Hospital in the City of Hereford.
They can also be found within Labels Outlet Shopping, just a few minutes from Wilton Court, just off junction 4 of the M50
Guests staying at Wilton Court will be given a beautiful necklace as a gift from Henryka on their arrival along with their catalog and a £5 gift voucher for purchases made on line or at their shop in Hereford or Labels Shopping outlet on the outskirt of Ross on Wye

Number 2: Never Take Your Heart on a Journey without Your Brain
Every time your heart is taken on a journey and your brain is left in the passenger sit, an accident will be inevitable. Don't let your emotions rule your life. I, as a person, know first hand that spontaneity can be fun and exciting but not when your future is involved. I can be very spontaneous, but not in some major issue of life.
Gentlemen and ladies, we need to be able to use our brains more and our hearts less. You are dating a man who beats you like no man's business; yet you are still with him. You are dating a man that when he looses his temper, the world has to run for cover; yet you are still with him. You are dating a guy who lives in the United States, when last did you see him, 5 years ago? You are dating a woman who has zero level of respect for you, when you talk 1, she talks 7. You are dating a lady who delights in your failures and is always eager to say I told you so, yet you are still with her?
These scenarios and many more are situations in which we sometimes find our selves and yet we find it hard to let go. Why? I don't know. It's even worse when it's apparent to everyone that the relationship has no future. Yet, to let go is to die. If a man has cultivated the habit of insulting you and dragging you down in public; trust me; he's not going to get better when you marry him. If you have been dating a man for 1 whole year, and he is yet to introduce you to any significant person in his life, what are you doing?
They say all is well that ends well. And sometimes, some hopeless situations do turn around for the best but I don't believe we should experiment with our destinies and whom we "yolk" with. The fact that you are in a relationship does not mean you should abandon the use of your faculties. Think and step outside the box every now and then. Because though love is blind, marriage will open your eyes o.
Ok, so you get the gist abi? Use your head. Be as wise as a serpent. Feelings are temporary, they come and go and feelings do not sustain a marriage, Christ does. Don't give your heart to a man; give your heart to God. Let God give your heart to the man. If God gives your heart to a man, I dare that man to try breaking your heart; it just cannot happen. After all, you can't break what you don't have. Or can you?

Cognitive Science
L. Elizabeth Crawford, Coordinator (Psychology)
Cognitive science is the interdisciplinary study of the structures and functions of the human mind. Cognitive science investigates such topics as our sensory/perceptual apparatus, including vision, audition, olfaction; internal mental processes such as language, thinking, reasoning, and problem solving; motor control and the organization of skilled behavior such as speech and musical performance; memory; consciousness; attention; and many other aspects of the human mind. Cognitive science requires a multi-disciplinary approach and includes such fields as psychology, biology, neuroscience, philosophy, anthropology, linguistics, sociology, and computer science.
The cognitive science major is offered as a Bachelor of Arts degree only.

text: Pumpkin rice is such a popular Jamaican, it has carved out its own identity among the 'seasoned rice' set. To churn out a good batch of pumpkin rice is to end up with something akin to a nice risotto. A good version of this rich creamy flavor filled rice dish requires only a 'dry' pumpkin and a few other staple ingredients. Pumpkin (aka calabaza squash) does not refer to the North American version. This pumpkin comes in many shapes and sizes. It is hard to give directions on picking the perfect pumpkin but you can substitute butternut squash for a good pumpkin.

Amy's Pregnancy Journey Week 12
12 week update
I'm so excited to share that I have made it to 12 weeks in my pregnancy!!!! It has been a rough ride so far and I'm very much looking forward to getting my appetite and energy back to normal. In my update video, I touch on how difficult it is being pregnant and sick, all while chasing after a high energy 3 year old. The mom guilt has amped up to level 20 but I am extremely lucky to have a partner that can carry the extra weight temporarily. My husband has been super understanding and helpful while I have felt completely drained. My son has not been as accommodating, but then again what 3 year old would be???
We had our first full scan today and all seems normal. It is such a relief to hear the heart beat and see the little bean moving around. All measurements align with being 12 weeks. I tried to persuade the doctor to tell me the sex of the baby, but sadly he did not want to commit to an answer. I will just have to wait till our 20 week anatomy scan.
Hope you enjoy following my very honest, pregnancy journey.
*I'd love it if you left a comment below to share your ups & downs with us
See you in 4 weeks!
