[quote:Anonymous Coward 23840939:MV8xOTU4MTUyXzMzNDYxNDA3X0Q4ODJDN0Ew] I just found this thread recently and was interested in more information... I have started noticing the morgellons symptoms but without the large legions and colored threads. Mine are cotton like and could be mistaken for hairs if not looked at under a magnifine glass.They pull out VERY easily unlike a regular hair coming out of the folicle. I have also been a cosmetologist for 15 years and around "hair" enough to know that these are different.Many of the other symptoms in OP's original list are present, espically the annoying little eye floaters! However they are MILD at this point. I am Very spiritual and had my kundilini activated back in 2004 around the time I experienced a Near Death Experience where I actually had a heart attack and died then crossing over to "the other side". I choose to come back and since it changed my whole perception on life in general, which is a common thing for people who have had an N.D.E. I have noticed in the past few years I have not been or felt as intune as I had been previously after I awakened. I did come back with a few abilities that were enhanced which I had not before but they have seemed to either became more dormant again or I am just used to them by now they arent as noticeble... IDK but I have the same type blood as the above poster (AB-) and am seeking anyone who may be able to answer any of these questions. I have heard that this morgellons thing (thru this thread) may possibly be a good thing for those of us RH negatives in a way they find out later this is just part of their lightbodies activating so they can accend so is this something I would not want to try and "Cure" per say? I have heard a few different things that have helped Morg sufferers. The Maricle Mineral Supplement (MMS) as well as Collidal Silver and Potassium Iodide can alleviate and in some cases rid of this bug. I cant tell if what I have noticed going on in my body, is going to eventually turn into something much more worse? For example, what I have seen with other people with the huge sores covering the body and immune system shutting down, eventually leading to a painful physical death. (Which is one way of accending in a lightbody, if desired I guess) or if this is just the process like others have stated leading to a positive transhuman like transformation that can allow the body to accend without the actual physical stages of death? Does anyone understand what I am trying to ask here? It seems I am confused about what I should do in regaurds to if I should start to take action in trying to prevent what is happening or let it ride and see if things get worse before I make a decision. I heard the longer you wait the longer it takes to cleanse your system.... I would greatly APPRECCIATE ANY more information anyone may have in regaurds to ANY of this please! Thank You Sooo Much!:hf: [/quote]
Original Message
URGENT to ALL
I posted the message below to GLP a year ago and have decided to repost it today since I've been hearing strange cases surfacing that reminded me of my post last year which seems to correlate and is uncanny and way too coincidental IMO. I forgot all about this until I recently came across people showing symptoms that I remember discussed in this post below.
So just wanted to raise awareness and give a heads up to people out there that might known someone experiencing strange SYMPTOMS or have heard about this. I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with this as a precaution so you can RECOGNIZE it when you hear about it or experience it because awareness is the first way to fight the scumbags that created this or apart of what seems to be nefarious... however this entire issue and origin is still unknown as to whether its intended to have a positive or negative effect in the bigger picture. Is this a non-fictional XMEN type of evolutionary virus or a hoax... no one knows, but there does seem to be strange sh#t going on with all this more than anyone realizes right now. BE VIGILANT because KNOWLEDGE is POWER.
Evidently one of the possible anomalies or diseases that might be connected is called MORGELLONS DISEASE which are technically micro-BUGS that are ELECTRICAL...
But it appears to allegedly be some type of a NANO-TECH Virus that affects those with RH NEGATIVE BLOOD and is said to be ALIEN in origin or MILITARY TECH virus/disease of some kind THEY'VE introduced many years ago into the human population possibly VIA CHEM TRAILS or that CHEMTRAILS are somehow also an ACTIVATOR of it.... and seeing how there's more and more chemtrails these days, this may be ALL CONNECTED and one of the purpose of CHEM TRAILS are intended for.
It may be a method of DEPOPULATION beginning with infecting those GRADUALLY who are RH NEGATIVE.
Could this be linked to MASS ANIMAL DEATHS as well in any way?
crazy stuff folks!
These people are EVIL and they are the same group that perpetrated 9/11, control the media the government, banking, etc... they are part of this shadow government, the Zionists and entire CABAL aka ILLUMINATI who are about to perpetrate a GREAT SLAUGHTER upon humans by effecting this ATTACK and WAR upon IRAN which will unleash unimaginable horrors such as WMD including NUKE TERRORISM.
Please read this and I hope all are preparing for this WAR about to commence.
[QUOTE=seeker1111;1059892895]Original Unaltered Information from Amalgam 170

Summary in my own words:
Amalgam170 posted a message on ___ stating that he is in Russia now, but worked for the US Government, NORAD (in the establishment for 12 years) and in fact the name Amalgam showed up an acronym for NORAD (you will have to Google this yourself, and or see end of post for link) ___ Mod AshleyD confirmed IP as coming from Russia.

What will happen? A virus will hit that will affect all of the RH negative blood types. In those those people with RH negative, there will be 40% death and 60% development of a super immune system capable of protecting against all types of viruses known to man. The virus will also modify the DNA causing aging to drastically slow down and a higher level of intelligence to be attained.
He said the message was critical so we could know exactly what to be ready for, the governments of the world are hiding the information because of fear of public reaction/panic. They have also been trying to make vaccines since 2009 but so far nothing has been able to stop the virus. The virus was found in Antarctica in an artifact resembling a diamond but with very different qualities (he gives measurements and weight for this) roughly dated to 10,000-11,000 BC roughly the same time as C/2010 X1 (or a subsidiary) was last here.
Article about Prehistoric Lakes of Antarctica containing unknown Viruses.
link to s1099.photobucket.com
The virus is currently being stored and researched at a research lab in Koltsovo and is not known to exist anywhere else on earth. Please see bottom of the page to see evidence that such a lab does indeed exist in Koltsovo.
The message was encrypted because he needed time to cover his tracks. He used a simple algorithim so it wouldn't be difficult to decode.
When haters members were confused about the original message stating each blood group would be affected he clarified in further emails exchanges that the algorithim had left out the (-) and he had meant that the only groups directly affected would be the people with rh negative blood type.
The US government has plans to separate the 60% (infected), I'm guessing the 60% that doesn't die, from the rest of the population once the virus hits. China apparently is the only one who thinks nothing will happen.
The last thing we are left with is to listen to 170.20mhz (which was found to be the federal disaster network) from the middle to end of October 2011 when the comet is supposed to pass. He also clarifies that ET is not the main concern and you are unlikely to be abducted and it has nothing to do with the New Madrid Fault line.

re: Extra terrestrial thread to those with negative blood types? thread
Hi Everyone,
I meant to come here earlier. I followed this original thread from the beginning till it got trashed and the subsequent thread asking why the original thread got trashed got trashed and now have been posting on the latest thread. You can look for posts by me, seeker11, I have tried there to compile all the original unaltered information. The original info was being erased and all I had to go from was the google cache, which had all the messages with the email exchanges with Amalgam170 mysteriously erased.
Normally I would have totally dismissed this whole entire thing as a hoax, however I had randomly clicked on the title of the Original thread and thought it was kind of funny and interesting so was paying attention. It garnered a bit of interest, around 6-7 pages, and then within 40 minutes of posting the server had a mysterious crash and all of us were having troubles accessing the thread. 503 errors coming up left right and center. Then a major T&C violation from the mods saying that it had violated the rules (because of the post in introduction with the coded text) and later he posted his email for other people to contact him with questions. One of the mods verified his IP was indeed in Russia like he claimed. (I have his email address if anyone wants to contact him).
Anyhow, it piqued my interest because of the messages being mysteriously erased and people who had contact with him and posted the exchange of messages were getting slapped left right and center with forum violations and off topics.
So, I did screen grabs of all the original posts that I could find, and saved them here. Also added a few other posts I felt were relevant to the discussion from the thread started. I've also included the emails of a couple of the forum members who were in contact with him and asked me to post the information for them, ommitted their contact info at their request. Since then it seems like right now he is giving everyone the same message, sort of a copy and paste from the original email exchanges he had with the forum members I was in contact with.
Here are my screen grabs if you would like to do some sleuthing yourself.
link to s1099.photobucket.com
They are in order from bottom right to top left, in order of how it occured for me.
Like I said on ___
"IF there's any truth to this, then I don't believe 'they' would try to clean anything up now. That would lend WAY too much credibility to the message. 'They' whoever they might be would probably just hope the whole thing runs itself into the ground.
Also why I felt it so important to keep the screen grabs of the original messages so that it wouldn't turn into a game of telephone where everything just gets lost in translation. If I hadn't gotten the 'proof' of the first posts, this thread wouldn't have had much backing it up at this point. Just a bunch of conjecture and people's scratching their heads trying to remember what really happened.
If it's a hoax, great job done, and great sci fi, I do love a good conspiracy. If not, then I believe I have done everything possible to keep the original message unaltered so people could draw their own conclusions with the information presented, if they were willing to do the work. Because it's all here. "

Symptoms Of
Morgellons Affliction
Material ©2006 Rense.com
May Not Be Reproduced In Whole Or Part
(A comprehensive list of symptoms compiled from first-hand input and a consensus of sufferers.)
You - or someone you know - may have Morgellons Disease and not realize it yet.
Morgellons symptoms fit into many other illness profiles. They may appear slowly and take years to culminate into full-blown Morgellons Disease. And symptoms may occur intermittently over time, appearing to go into remission and then resurfacing.
Symptoms are often rationalized as being "nothing," thoughtlessly disregarded or misdiagnosed. Even worse, victims are placed in the diagnostic category: Delusional Parasitosis.
It is believed that pets also get Morgellons, exhibiting many of the same symptoms as humans, which are sometimes fatal.
For the most part, medical professionals and veterinarians are unaware of Morgellons. At present, no official diagnostic code exists for insurance companies. Research is currently under way. Labs are soon to report in-depth results of their findings.
As grassroots awareness continues, it is sadly inevitable that many more sufferers - both human and animal - will surface. And that's the hairy, 800-pound gorilla in the room.
Our comprehensive symptoms list is compiled from first-hand input and consensus of sufferers.

I have a little problem with the function NonlinearRegress (from the
Statistics`NonlinearFit` standard package). I am interested in the
curvature parameters that the function can generate. The problem is
that on my system the calculation of the curvature table never
succeeds, even using the exact same example form the book (see e.g.
page 465 from the Mathematica 3.0 standard add-on packages book). I
use Mathematica 3.0.1 on Windows 95. If anyone would have experience
with the calculation of the curvature characteristics, I would be
grateful to learn from her/his experience.
All the best,

text: Doug - Unregistered October 27, 2011 11:56 PM Schumacher puts it beautifully here. One day, there will be another driver fatality in Formula One. It's a horrible thing to say but it's probably true, and we've had some lucky escapes since Melbourne '01 which was when the last fatality in the sport occurred, with a Marshal being killed by Jacques Villeneuve's flying car. Think Wurz/Coulthard '07, that could very easily have killed Wurz. However, in Formula One, we used to have needless deaths - where the driver would still be alive as the car came to a stop but was trapped and shoddy fire procedures meant he burnt to death - Roger Williamson, for example. That has now been eradicated. It'll be a freak accident, of some sort, that brings about the next death, if and when it comes. I think that's what Schumacher's alluding to. That's the sort of thing you can't ever get rid of. 3 agree 0 disagree

Authorities Announce Arrests
Two people face charges after authorities executed a search warrant last week at a Toccoa residence.
According to Stephens County Sheriff Randy Shirley, agents from the Mountain Judicial Circuit NCIS Team, the Stephens County Sheriff's Office, and Toccoa Police Department executed a search warrant on Elberton Street.
Shirley says that as a result of the search, a quantity of marijuana weighing 11 ounces was seized, along with $6,000 in cash and two handguns.
The sheriff says that authorities arrested 28-year-old Jeffery T. Smith and 25-year-old James Mackey, both of Elberton Street in Toccoa, and charged them with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.
According to Shirley, Smith was also charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and Mackey was also charged with obstruction of law enforcement. The sheriff states that Mackey jumped through a closed window and attempted to flee the residence on foot before being caught.
Elsewhere, the Sheriff's Office reports that it arrested 31-year-old Michael Edward Setren of Shorewood Circle in Toccoa for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and other charges after a license check on Oak Valley Road that took place on October 6.
Finally, the Toccoa Police Department is reporting that it arrested Kelly Lamar Stancil of Davis Avenue in Toccoa for possession of cocaine and other charges following a traffic stop in the early morning hours of October 7 on Davis Avenue.

A Rutgers home game moved to Madison Square Garden, which will be decked out with a block "R" at center court, against the Tar Heels. The ESPN2 game will tip-off at 9 p.m., and is the Scarlet Knights' last game before beginning conference play Sunday at Villanova.
"It's a nationally televised game, and every time you're on national t.v. it helps recruiting, it helps pick the brand up," Rutgers coach Mike Rice told ScarletReport.com. "I'm not really into moral victories, so if you're successful against them, it can change a lot of people's attitudes."
This is the fifth straight season the teams play, with North Carolina winning by an average margin of 28.8 points in the last four. The closest Rutgers came was last season, when the Tar Heels survived a late run and won 81-67.
Rutgers (9-2) enters the game on a five-game winning streak while North Carolina (8-4) has won six of eight, with the only high-profile win of the group being a two-point win against Kentucky on Dec. 4.
"This should be a good gauge where we are as far as the Big East and where our team's strength and weaknesses are," Rice said. "Everybody likes watching North Carolina and their style. They've got eight McDonald's all-Americans. Rutgers fans are interested in seeing what they're team is compared to the best."
Although Rice watched how the Scarlet Knights played against North Carolina last season, he wasn't planning to glean much from it.
"We're such a different team that has such a different formula, it really doesn't matter," he said.
Jack begins practice
Rice re-iterated what ScarletReport.com first reported two weeks ago, and that is the plan is for freshman forward Kadeem Jack to red-shirt.
Jack began practicing with the Scarlet Knights on Sunday.
"He showed signs of that potential, that athleticism," Rice said. "But for the most part, he looked like he was a freshman who came in thinking too much and everybody else had 40 practices and 12 games under their belts. He looked a little bit lost, a little bit behind, but that's to be expected."
Rice added Jack was able to take part in most of the drills.
"He tries to, but he goes one or two reps …and it's like we're speaking a different language to him," Rice said. "He doesn't know the verbiage. He doesn't know all the things we're talking about, what the drills are about, the details of the drills. He's kind of learning on the fly."
Travel issues
Rutgers point guard James Beatty, who is from Wilmington, N.C., was stuck in North Carolina for two days because of the snow and didn't practice Sunday or Monday. He arrived late Monday night and is in New York with the team.
Meanwhile, North Carolina experienced travel problems and didn't arrive in New York until this morning.

text here. Few sentances.PROS
List, of, prosCONS
List, of cons
The Pitch: "The best-selling acne system in the world."
April 2009. Proactiv Solution is an acne-treatment system that includes five products -- a renewing cleanser, revitalizing toner, repairing lotion, an oil-free moisturizer with sun block and a daily oil controller. Each is offered as part of a five-piece (*est. $60), four-piece (*est. $50) or three-piece kit (*est. $40). The three-piece skin-care kit includes the cleanser, toner and repairing lotion, and seems to be the one most often purchased and reviewed. Proactiv acne treatment is known for its many celebrity endorsements and is an infomercial staple. A club program, which includes discounts, some free bonus products and automatic shipments, is heavily promoted -- which means you'll be paying for regular shipments whether you've run out of product or not.
Reviews among experts and users are mixed on whether Proactiv is better than other over-the-counter acne treatments that also contain benzoyl peroxide. Some reviewers, such as Good Housekeeping magazine, call Proactive skin-care the best product for fighting teen acne based on the opinions of a panel of dermatologists. Others are more cautious, finding both positives and negatives with the various products that make up the line.Pros
There's tons of user feedback on Proactiv, and the great divergence of opinions leads us to believe that its effectiveness lies in the eyes -- and the skin -- of the beholder. Harshness is a key complaint. At least one expert says that the 2.5-percent benzoyl peroxide concentration in Proactiv Renewing Cleanser and Repairing Lotion causes less irritation than higher concentrations, but is still effective. However, user reports lead us to believe that the formulation could still be too strong for some skin types. In addition, the Revitalizing Toner uses glycolic acid, but some experts say that salicylic acid, such as found in Neutrogena Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne Treatment (*est. $24 for 2 ounces), is a more effective skin exfoliant for treating acne.
In the end, most experts say that Proactiv does contain well-proven ingredients and is worth a try if cheaper over-the-counter products aren't working. However, know that if you sign up for the automatic shipments, your costs could balloon.
1. Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me
Proactiv Solution, Paula Begoun, Seventh edition, 2008
Paula Begoun looks at the research backing the ingredients included in Proactiv Solution 3-Step System, and gives each of the products in the kit a good -- but not great -- rating. For example, Begoun feels that the Renewing Cleanser could be too harsh for use around the eyes, but bestows praise upon the Repairing Lotion, which contains anti-irritants. Even though Begoun agrees that the Revitalizing Toner is a good alpha-hydroxy product, she says that those who are susceptible to acne should instead use a salicylic acid treatment.
2. Good Housekeeping
Top Teen Skin Savers, Kristyn Pomranz, Nov. 2007
Good Housekeeping names the two best acne-control kits, based on the opinions of six board-certified dermatologists who looked at ingredients and claims to reach their conclusions. The Proactiv Solution Kit works well and comes out on top because it has the "best antibacterial coverage" and uses benzoyl peroxide in the right concentration to be effective without causing irritation.
3. About.com
Adult Acne Facts & How to Get Rid of It, Julyne Derrick
About.com guide to beauty Julyne Derrick says that Proactiv Solution 3-Step System is a "classic" acne treatment that has "worked wonders on many." This article also delves into seven "facts" about adult acne, and makes specific comments about products to deal with specific issues or conditions. She also notes that adult acne is not uncommon and that one in five women between the ages of 25 and 40 suffer from it. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)
4. Acne.org
Proactive Solution Reviews, Contributors to Acne.Org
This site gets lots of traffic, as evidenced by the more than 4,400 reviews of Proactiv skin-care products. Rather than provide an overall rating, all reviewers are asked to individually rate how the product works, how well it agrees with their skin and its affordability. Some also rate Proactiv on its consistency, packaging and fragrance. Additionally, reviewers report on how long they've used the product and the severity of their acne, which adds some useful context. Some love Proactive, while some don't, and that's reflected in the ratings, which are not particularly high. Detractors often focus on Proactiv's harshness.
Proactiv 3-Step System, Contributors to MakeupAlley.com
More than 2,150 user reviewers at MakeupAlley.com give Proactiv Solution 3-Step System an overall rating of 2.7 (out of five). Though many are happy with the effectiveness of Proactiv acne treatment, less than 40 percent say that they would buy it again.
Proactiv Solution Reviews and Ratings
More than 225 users weigh in on Proactiv skin-care here, and it earns a rating of three out of five stars. While many users seem satisfied, others say it has little to no effect and we saw lots of complaints that it was too harsh for their skin.

The spot reflects the contemporary gay experience in Canada and underscores the magazine's founding principle that it's great to be gay. CREW Magazine ( www.crewmagazine.com) covers an array of modern lifestyle topics. Curated with a gay point-of-view, the online publication aims to be "a gay magazine for everyone". "Discovery and web curation are a big part of what we do," says publisher Peter Coish. "We are creating a daily destination for anyone interested in content that goes beyond the usual sex and politics of gay media to examine all elements of a sophisticated, modern lifestyle - gay or straight." The YouTube spot is based on the recent Dodge Ram Superbowl spot, God Made a Farmer, which has become an Internet sensation. The CREW spot portrays the myriad of challenges that gay men face even today, as well as celebrates the contributions they make to every aspect of modern society. "A great meme is a terrible thing to waste," says CREW art director Kyriakos Alexopoulos. "We're leveraging the popularity and format of the original spot to create a moving homage to gay life in modern society." "Mainstream advertisers want to reach gays as they are an affluent, taste-making audience," says Coish. "But unfortunately they have few quality options. CREW Magazine has been launched to fill that void." Indeed, RBC Royal Bank has taken a lead sponsorship role in the site for 2013. The bank will be doing traditional online advertising as well as engaging the audience through custom editorials that specifically speak to gay consumers.

Mataloni added that once the Aqua is on plane and before giving her some throttle, I should retract the tabs. This may sound like a lot to keep in mind, but it's really quite easy. Within five minutes of taking the wheel, I found trimming this boat felt quite similar to trimming my own boat's 250-hp outboards. Of course, this is on a grander scale, but the same principles apply.
I pushed the ZF Mathers ClearCommand single-lever electronic controls forward and started to trim the props, and the Aqua popped right onto plane. I noted that the wake was steep and unforgiving should anyone try to cross it, and while a 25-knot cruise speed would be plenty for me, it was fun to kick that rooster tail up and take off like a shot. The Aqua streaked across the Atlantic just like that Chevelle down Kissena, only instead of hitting an occasional pothole, the choppy water gave the Aqua the occasional slap while running at WOT. It wasn't teeth jarring, but it did cause me to throttle back to 2000 rpm and 44 mph, where the ride was cleaner. At all speeds I found that ZF controls smooth with good detents and the hydraulic steering quick.
Having seen Mataloni do some interesting hairpin turns earlier in the day, I wanted to try my hand at it. You need as much prop in the water as possible for this kind of maneuver; at speed, a surface-drive prop usually only has about 40 to 50 percent of its diameter in the water, and not keeping the outboard prop down could result in it losing whatever bite it has. I got the Aqua up to about 38 knots, trimmed the starboard prop all the way down, and turned the wheel hard to port. She heeled substantially to port, producing a blind spot to that side. So before you make a turn like this, look twice, and then twice again. The turn was quite sharp, roughly a boat length or less. Aside from radical turns like this, I found sightlines at the helm to be quite clean (I'm 5'7").
But the Aqua's bridge deck isn't just for driving; it's also designed for relaxing and entertaining. There's a wraparound lounge to port that can seat approximately eight guests, and it's positioned so all of your friends and family can easily admire those high-speed maneuvers. That is, if they're not busy cooking lunch on the grill just aft of the helm or sunning on the aft sunpad that's large enough for three. (There's another sunpad on the foredeck.) The aft sunpad rises at the flick of the switch near the helm and reveals the engine compartment, which is cavernous. I could easily access all points on both engines with room to spare.
The Aqua is geared for performance, but don't think it's done at the price of luxury or comfort below decks. Her optional high-gloss cherrywood saloon sole (carpet is standard) is exquisitely finished. The saloon, which offers 6'6" headroom, also featured a soft leather lounge to port on my test boat. This is an inviting place to view the standard Panasonic flat-screen TV. Feel like cooking? It's just a few steps across to the galley, which has a Bauknecht stand-up refrigerator and freezer, two-burner Ceran cooktop, and optional granite countertop.
The granite countertop is quite attractive and shows how much the builder believes in its Kevlar construction. Why? Because granite is an unforgiving material and is subject to cracking, and the galley is located right about where the hull meets water while running at speed. If the hull flexed at all, it would likely break the granite. But if you prefer a different look, Corian is the standard countertop material offered.
As for accommodations, the Aqua is pretty typical of boats this size, offering a three-stateroom, two-head layout with the master forward. The en suite master offers a large shower stall that could easily fit two people. However, the VacuFlush MSD is squeezed between the shower and the sink. I have a 32-inch waist, and when I sat down to measure the space between the two, I just fit. I'd be willing to give up some shower room for a little more seating space. In spite of this, the Aqua's guest staterooms and second head, just forward of the port-side aft stateroom, easily allow her to be used as a weekend (or longer) cruiser for the family.
Obviously for most boaters the Aqua's main attraction is her performance. She jumps up to speed after planing, blasts down the straightway, and finishes strong. But she's also well appointed and has sleek lines, which will turn more than a few heads around the docks. And just like that ride in Phil's Chevelle, once you see this boat do what she does best, the memory will stay with you a long time.

GMO pigs study – more junk science
When I saw on Twitter that a 'major new peer-reviewed study' was about to reveal serious health impacts from GMO corn and soya, I was intrigued to say the least. Would this be Seralini 2.0, a propaganda effort by anti-biotech campaigners masquerading as proper science, or something truly new and ground-breaking?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence – and it would take a lot of extraordinary evidence to confound the hundreds of studies showing that GMO foods are just as safe as conventional, as summarised in this recent AAAS statement:
"The science is quite clear: crop improvement by the modern molecular techniques of biotechnology is safe. The World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the British Royal Society, and every other respected organization that has examined the evidence has come to the same conclusion: consuming foods containing ingredients derived from GM crops is no riskier than consuming the same foods containing ingredients from crop plants modified by conventional plant improvement techniques."
So when I found the paper, again via Twitter, I determined to read it as I would a climate 'denier' paper which aimed to overturn the scientific consensus in that area – with an open mind, but a sceptical one. I could see that it was already generating news, and the anti-GMO crowd on Twitter were also getting excited about some new grist to their ideological mill. Here's what Reuters wrote:
"Pigs fed a diet of only genetically modified grain showed markedly higher stomach inflammation than pigs who dined on conventional feed, according to a new study by a team of Australian scientists and U.S. researchers."
Really? Time to have a look at the study. It is by a Judy Carman and colleagues, entitled 'A long-term toxicology study on pigs fed a combined genetically modified (GM) soy and GM maize diet' and published in a minor Australian journal I have never heard of called 'Journal of Organic Systems'. (This journal does not appear in PubMed, suggesting it is not taken very seriously in the scientific community. It only publishes about twice a year, mostly with research touting the benefits of organic agriculture.)
I skimmed the paper first, and the conclusions seemed doubtful enough (see below) to try to find out who was beind it. So I looked at the sponsors of this journal. They include the Organic Federation of Australia, which seemed odd for a journal presumably aiming to be independent. Imagine the hullaballoo if Nature Biotechnology was sponsored by Monsanto!
I also wondered who Judy Carman and her colleagues were. She turns out to be – as I feared – a long-time anti-biotech campaigner, with a website called 'GMOJudyCarman', which says it is supported by GMOSeralini.org. She is a founding member, according to this website, of the scientific advisory council of the Sustainable Food Trust. The Sustainable Food Trust was the UK outfit set up by former organic lobbyist Patrick Holden which stage-managed the media release of the infamous Seralini GMO rats study to the Daily Mail and other credulous outlets.
What about the co-authors? One is a Howard Vlieger, who seems to have made some wild allegations about GMOs in the past if this source is to be believed. Vlieger is president and co-founder of Verity Farms, a US 'natural foods' outfit which markets non-GMO grain. Despite this, the paper declares that the authors have no conflicts of interest, although it seems to me that he would have a very clear commercial interest in scaring people about GMOs in order to drum up business of his GMO-free offerings.
What about funding? The paper states that funding came from Verity Farms, the natural product outfit mentioned above. Carman and her colleagues are also funded by and associated with the Institute of Health and Environmental Research, an Australian not-for-profit which seems to be entirely dedicated to anti-GMO activism. Recent activities have included opposing Bt brinjal in India and CSIRO's GMO wheat in Australia. Funding sources are not disclosed, although donations are solicited. The paper's acknowledgements are a veritable who's who of anti-biotech activism, includin Jeffrey Smith, John Fagan and Arpad Pusztai.
So, that's the context. Now let's look at what raised my suspicions about the actual study. Well, Carman and colleagues claim significant differences in a long-term study of pigs fed GMO and non-GMO diets. But if you look at the data they present (and the data presentation is at least a step better than Seralini) there are obvious problems. Clearly all the animals were in very poor health – weaner mortality is reported as 13% and 14% in GM-fed and non-GM fed groups, which they claim is "within expected rates for US commercial piggeries", a vague statement intended to justify what seem to have been inadequate husbandry standards.
This picture is even more stark in the data presented in Table 3. 15% of non-GM fed pigs had heart abnormalities, while only 6% of GM-fed pigs did so. Similarly, twice as many non-GM pigs as GM ones had liver problems. Why no headlines here? "Pigs fed non-GMO feed 100% more likely to develop heart and liver problems, study finds" – I can just see it in the Daily Mail. But of course negative results were not what Carman et al were looking for.
So we fast-forward to the stomach inflammations. This is where Carman et al got their headline. As Reuters reported:
"But those pigs that ate the GM diet had a higher rate of severe stomach inflammation – 32 percent of GM-fed pigs compared to 12 percent of non-GM-fed pigs. The inflammation was worse in GM-fed males compared to non-GM fed males by a factor of 4.0, and GM-fed females compared to non-GM-fed females by a factor of 2.2."
This is statistical fishing of the most egregious sort, and I would put money on the Reuters summary above being lifted near-verbatim from a press release written by Carman et al. Table 3 actually shows that many more pigs fed non-GMO feed had stomach inflammations than those with GMO feed. So 31 non-GM pigs had 'mild' inflammation, while only 23 GM pigs had it. For 'moderate' inflammation, a GMO diet again seemed to be beneficial: 29 non-GM pigs had moderate inflammation of the stomach, while 18 had it. So that's 40% vs 25%. Do Carman et al perform a test for statistical significance to see if GMO feed has a protective effect on pigs stomachs? Of course not – that's not the result they are after. These findings are ignored.
Instead, it is the next line of data that they play up: for 'severe' inflammation 9 non-GM pigs were determined to have it, while 23 GM-fed pigs had it. Shock, horror. You can immediately see how the data is all over the place from the previous results, which also rule out any causal mechanism with GMO feed – if GMO feed is causing the severe inflammation, why is the non-GMO feed causing far more mild to moderate inflammation? It's clearly just chance, and all the pigs are not doing well and suffering stomach problems: about 60% of both sets had stomach erosion.
Yet the paper slyly presents photographs of inflamed pigs stomachs, with non-inflamed and mildly inflamed from non-GM fed pigs, and moderate and severe inflammation presented from GM-fed pigs. Yet 38 of the non-GM pigs, more than half of the total of 73, were suffering moderate or severe inflammation – why not present photos of their stomachs? This is rather reminiscent of how Seralini presented shocking pictures of GM-fed rats with massive cancerous tumours, but did not present pictures of the control rats (non-GM fed) which also developed cancers.
Indeed, if you add together the 'moderate' and 'extreme' categories – which from the photos are not easy to tell apart, involving a value judgement on the part of the vets employed to do the post-mortems – then the non-GM fed pigs have 38 affected individuals (52% of the animals studied), while the GM-fed pigs have 41 affected individuals (56% of the total). Statistical significance? My ass. This is propaganda dressed up as science, which is why it didn't make a proper peer-reviewed journal. (Update: Andrew Kniss makes this point better, using an appropriate statistical technique, here. Later update: A swine health specialist at the University of Guelph in Canada concludes that the redness observed by Carman et al is not even a reliable indicator of inflammation.)
My judgement is that, as with Seralini, this study subjects animals to inhumanely poor conditions resulting in health impacts which can then be data-mined to present 'evidence' against GMO feeds. Most damning of all, close to 60% of both sets of pigs were suffering from pneumonia at the time of slaughter – another classic indicator of bad husbandry. Had they not been slaughtered, all these pigs might well have died quickly anyway. No conclusions can be drawn from this study, except for one – that there should be tighter controls on experiments performed on animals by anti-biotech campaigners, for the sake of animal welfare.
Thanks are due to the numerous Twitter correspondents who provided insight and links which have been useful in this post. You know who you are.
Update: I received the following expert commentaries courtesy of the UK Science Media Centre:
Prof David Spiegelhalter, Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk at the University of Cambridge, said:
"The study's conclusions don't really stand up to statistical scrutiny. The authors focus on 'severe' stomach inflammation but all the other inflammation categories actually favour the GM-diet. So this selective focus is scientifically inappropriate.
"When analysed using appropriate methods, the stomach inflammation data does not show a statistically statistical association with diet. There are also 19 other reported statistical tests, which means we would expect one significant association just by chance: and so the apparent difference in uterus weight is likely to be a false positive."
Prof Patrick Wolfe, Professor of Statistics at University College London, said:
"I am not an expert on animal health, husbandry, toxicology etc, and therefore I cannot comment on these aspects of the study. As a statistical methodologist I can however comment on the data analysis undertaken and presented in the article.
"The biggest issue is that the study was not conducted to test any specific hypothesis. This means that the same sample (in this case nearly 150 pigs) is, in effect, being continually tested over and over for different findings.
"The statistical tests employed assume that a single test is done to test a single, pre-stated hypothesis; otherwise the significance levels stemming from the tests are just plain wrong, and can be vastly over-interpreted.
"Thus there is a higher-than-reported likelihood that the results are due purely to chance. The number of pigs being in the low hundreds (instead of, say, the thousands, as is often the case in large medical studies) can make this effect even more prominent.
"Bottom line: a better-designed study would have hypothesized a particular effect (such as changes in stomach size), and then applied a statistical test solely to check this hypothesis. Perhaps another independent team of researchers will go down this path. Until then, this study definitely does not show that GM-fed pigs are at any greater risks than non-GM fed pigs."

The refining of gold, silver, platinum and palladium is one of Argor-Heraeus's core activities. To guarantee low refining costs, rapid refining times and the highest possible yields, Argor-Heraeus uses cutting-edge technologies to process mining material and recycle jewellery scraps.
The precious metal can be credited to the metal account at Argor-Heraeus even before it has been fully processed, thereby maximising the customer's benefit.
Precious metals are refined both electrolytically and chemically.
Electrolysis: gold and silver are refined in fully automated, state of the art electrolysis units that operate 24 hours a day.
Chemical refining: high-tech equipment and complex chemical reactions are used to process almost any kind of metallic material containing precious metals of any composition.
We employ only certified assayers, trained and supervised by the Swiss Central Office for Precious Metals Control, who guarantee the declared standards of purity.
The gold refined at Argor-Heraeus does not merely satisfy LBMA Good Delivery standards in terms of purity (995.0 parts per thousand), but can also reach so-called "four nines" purity (999.9). For special applications, our refining processes can achieve exceptional "five nines" (999.99) purity, the highest on the market.
Argor-Heraeus accepts material only in metallic form, i.e., from mines, industrial scraps, or recycled gold (such as old jewellery). We accept recycled gold only from institutional operators that pass the strict assessments imposed by our "Know your customer" policy.
We produce both fine silver (999 parts per thousand) for Good Delivery bullion and ultra-fine silver (999.9 parts per thousand).
The silver refined at Argor-Heraeus may come from mines, from the secondary market (scraps), or from recycled material supplied by institutional operators.
Refined to 999.5 parts per thousand, the platinum refined at Argor-Heraeus comes only from the secondary market, i.e., recycled materials.
The palladium processed at Argor-Heraeus does not come from mining, but only from recycled materials, and is refined to 999.5 parts per thousand.

I understand both sides of the "evil" AR gun scenario, but what's the hoopla (other than capacity issues -10 rd v 17 rd, etc) for magazines for SA's.
There's somebody i came across selling a "PreBan" Glock mag for 140 some odd dollars.
Doesn't a 3rd gen post ban 17 rd mag do the same thing as a pre ban 17 rd mag?
I understand there are stampings, etc I get that but now that the ban has expired what's the dif?
Maybe it matters depending on which state you reside in and it's laws. Is that a consideration?
I live in CO. I can buy the 31+2 Glock Mags. 17rd mags came with my G17.

By Nick Teale
Arsène Wenger has urged Arsenal fans to show some respect for Emmanuel Adebayor.
The striker is expected to line-up against the Gunners on Saturday for the first time since leaving Emirates Stadium in July.
Wenger believes Adebayor did a good job during his three-and-a-half seasons at Arsenal, developing quickly once he had arrived from Monaco.
"We were very happy [with him]," said Wenger. "It shows you that when players come here they don't waste their time. They develop well. He improved well in a short space of time."
But the Arsenal manager admits that after some disappointing performances last season, Adebayor became a scapegoat with the fans owing to press speculation regarding his future.
"Last season there was a bit of a grey area at some stage. It was because of the question 'Does he go or not go'? That is why."
And the Frenchman now wants to see Arsenal supporters show their appreciation to the Togo international.
"I want all our former players to be respected, they have done things for the Club and they should get respect."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

About Mystic Descendant
This is a beer descended from the cultural history of the Boston harbor area. A dry Irish stout meets an English porter and is then fermented in the fermentorium with our saison yeast with a touch of the ubiquitous ingredient from the area's past: molasses. The result is uniqe; it has more dark fruit than a porter and less roast than a traditional stout, while having a different ester profile than a Belgian stout. We call this a Suffolk Dark Ale.

Baby Phat Fashions Feature Lots Of Skin
You gotta love a catwalk, on which most of the guys are displaying the shirtless fashions of the upcoming spring/summer season.
In fact, we think we spy with our little eye, hot Male Model Monday subject, Chad White leading the pack on the Baby Phat Fashion Show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. As for the ladies, rich, deep colors were all the rage, along with metallic accents.
I'm expecting to see the entire Kardashian clan decked out in these sparkly fashions in the coming months. It's exactly what you'd expect individuals to be wearing if you peeked inside a genie's bottle.

Gators' DL Rips Herbsreit For Upset Pick

When Florida defensive lineman Dominique Easley was told that ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit had picked Toledo to upset the Gators on Saturday, Easley dismissed it, but not in "correct" fashion. UF's Dominique Easley said...

What does one do as a Republican while your party is reportedly soul searching in an attempt to find out where they went wrong in the 2012 election? Well, if you're Rick Santorum and considering a Presidential run in 2016, you build up (down?) your reputation by writing for a conspiracy site.
So I went back to WorldNetDaily to look around again.
Even though the Birther site WorldNetDaily acknowledges that this White House petition is likely e a farce — and it is — the readers of the conspiracy blog are concerned that President Obama is building a Death Star. And don't we all have one? Again, this is the site that Santorum is joining forces with.
I've considered starting a petition to end all stupid petitions and this seals the deal. I am on it — and I refuse to admit as to whether I signed this one or not:
On the White House's "We the People" site:
We petition the Obama administration to: Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.
Those who sign here petition the United States government to secure funding and resources, and begin construction on a Death Star by 2016.
By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense.
So it must be true.
WND states:
So far, there's no official response from the White House, but there could be one should the petition collect 25,000 signatures by mid-December. As of Monday afternoon, more than 800 people signed the online measure
FYI: The White House doesn't acknowledge petitions which have only gathered 1181 signatures with one of them being Darth V. from Burlington, N.C. And now we know where Vader lives. Or possibly we know where someone from 4Chan lives. It's just a guess but it's possible that they started this petition.
Choice comments:
- Good God, This guy has already been elevated to the status of "Our Lord and Savior" now we are going to make him DARTH OBOMA. Good Grief were doomed.
- Signing a petiton like this one is a death wish, when in the wrong hands..
- please find the email and websites of your representatives and senators. tell them your concerns about all the issues. if we don't complain they will think they are doing just fine. i have mine in my favorite list so i can write them easily
- Barack Hussein Obama IS the PRINCE OF DARKNESS. As much as one shudders at the reality of stupidity it is what it is. The damage showered on America i'm afraid will be irreparable. Can you say-FEDERAL JUDGES?
I admit that this one is funny but I'll deny it later:
- There should be some way we could use obama to plug the black hole.
This might be Grover Norquist's comment penned in another name. We can form conspiracies here too:
- Oh boy. Here we go again. A fruitless way for the a$$hole-in-Chief to spend the money he hasn't wasted yet. Our money.
- Death Star, 54 Christmas Trees in White House, $4M three week vacation to Hawaii (Michelle and the girls will come back to Washington for a short time at Christmas time and then back to Hawaii) and Obama will not let the XL Pipeline go through, thereby depriving my home town of Cushing, Oklahoma (known as the pipeline capital of the world) thousands of jobs. There certainly does not seem to be a lack of money with the White House occupants!
He got several replies. He must be popular :
- guess we better get use to it. dictators are rich have a ready supply of wealth. we will be paupers and ride our bikes 10 miles to get to town. where did i park my ricsha?
- What can one expect from a Muslim/Communist. Even the Russian News outlet Pravda had a scathing oped that a bunch of lazy illiterates elected a communist. Communists hate capitalism and love to spend what does not belong to them.
Obviously we need to impeach Obama over this. Duh! It's not because Obama opened a can of whoop ass on the GOP. No, this is for impeachable reasons such as building a Death Star in his spare time:
- I do not know but I hope the top Government officials are smart enough to impeach him before our freedom is gone! Our jobs are no longer allowed to funtion due to the excuse of polution.Cripples our economy!
- because the MSM is afraid of retribution for reporting on what is really going on.
- I find The White Houses' lack of response……………..DISTURBING………………
- Hey Barry, why stop with the USA? Broaden your horizons, why not destroy the whole planet
- Is this for real?? Hasn't he done enough damage already? I would be terrified to hand him another weapon he can easily use on us.
Oh look, a normal comment,"So….slow news day huh?" Well listen, it's the middle of the night and I felt like trolling WND….Oh, sorry. That comment was on WorldNetDaily's site. I knew that.
Rick Santorum will fit in perfectly at WND. May the force be with you Rick.

I would like to apologize for my comments made in the "Street Talk" segment in the most recent edition of the Independent. There was a lengthy dialogue that took place with my friends and me and the compressed dialogue, out of context, may give an inaccurate presentation about the establishment Charlie B's. I have never been, or witnessed anyone being, "over served" at the establishment. Its employees conduct themselves with a high sense of professionalism, responsibility and genuine care when dealing with their customers and when interacting within the community. All comments about drinking were about myself personally and were not meant to be connected with the establishment. Charlie B's is one of the greatest bars in Missoula. Its philanthropic efforts, long history and character make it so. I apologize for any and all comments that would make anyone think otherwise.

Janice from Better Off Thread designed this pretty Wonky Star Block to use for quilts, pillows and more. We can't wait to see what you do with your block! Learn more about Janice in her introduction, and check out some of her beautiful quilts.
Hi, I'm Janice, and today I'm going to show you how to make this Inset Wonky Star Block.
I originally designed this block for a sewing bee I participate in and I thought it would be fun block to use in a variety of projects.
It's a large, 20" block, so one block is the perfect size for a pillow. If you want to make your own, sew up the block and then check out my pillow tutorial.
Four blocks and a 4" border will give you this great 47" x 47" starburst baby quilt. I can picture this made with comic book fabrics for a boy, or delicate, fussy cut fabrics for a girl.
Tackle 8 blocks and you have yourself a full-sized quilt! This layout is 88" x 88" with a 5" border.
For this block, you will need:
- 1/3 yard of background fabric
- A variety of scraps for the stars
From your background fabric, cut:
- 11 5.5" squares
- 11 3" squares
- 15 1¾" squares
From your star fabric, cut:
- 5 5.5" squares
- 5 3" squares
- 5 1¾" squares.
From your star fabric, take four 5.5" squares, four 3" squares and four 1¾" squares. Slice them diagonally so you have 8 triangles in each size. These will be your star points.
Take one 5.5" background square and one triangle cut from a 5.5" square. Pin triangle to square (as pictured above) with right sides together. Changing the angle of the triangle will change the wonkiness of the point. Make sure that when you flip and press your triangle flat, it extends past the edges of the background square.
Trim your seam allowance to ¼" and flip and press the star point flat.
Place a second star point on the left side of your background square and sew.
Trim seam allowance to ¼", flip and press flat.
Trim your square back down to 5.5". Your first one is done!
Now, do the same for the rest of the points. You'll end up with 4 squares in each size.
Lay your squares out as pictured above.
Sew like-sized squares together horizontally and press seams open.
Then, sew the small and medium rows together, as pictured above.
Sew the remaining seams on the bottom two rows and then sew all four rows together. Trim to 20" square, and you are done.
Enjoy your block!

A fallstreak hole, also known as a hole punch cloud, punch hole cloud, skypunch, canal cloud or cloud hole, is a large circular or elliptical gap, that can appear in cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. Such holes are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing but the water has not frozen yet due to the lack of ice nucleation particles (see supercooled water). When ice crystals do form it will set off a domino effect, due to the Bergeron process, causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate: this leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud.

This a a story that lies close to my heart, having been homeless myself. It does not get any better than this. A story about an orphan boy, who at the age of five ran away from the orphanage, because he was being beaten there. Since then he has lived on the street, for more than ten years, supporting himself by selling chewing gum, but sleeping in stairways and in public toilets.
This story takes place in Korea. The boy heard a singer in a nightclub and decided to give it a try, by himself and to himself. He finally got up enough courage to enter in the national talent competition and boy did he ever make an impression! The judges and the audience were crying during his performance and so was I. The lead judge of a panel of three's first reaction was: "Young man, I just want to hug you!" This phenomenon humbles me in a way that I can not express. He reminded me NEVER to give up your dream. One reminder to whom it may concern: Never judge a book by its cover.
One wonders how many homeless wonders are out there that nobody will ever hear or read about! I challenge anyone to listen to this artists account, listen to his song and not be moved. His name is Sung-Bong and he has since won the finals. You will definitely be hearing more from him.
I rest my case, over to him:
Do me a favour everyone and Press This!
One wonders how many more homeless people out there have something to offer?

Revised arts hub park 'strays from Foster's plan'
A landscape architect has warned planning changes and budget cuts have put at risk the "urban forest" that architect Norman Foster envisioned in his winning master plan for the West Kowloon arts hub.
The hub authority has revealed that only 60 per cent of the park will be green space and its budget had been halved to HK$1 billion, saying the changes were needed as part of an overall cost-cutting strategy
But Patrick Lau Hing-tat, who was on a team shortlisted for designing the park in 2012, questioned whether the authority had gone too far.
"Is a park without much green space still a park? The latest move of the authority deviates from the original spirit of Foster's design," Lau said. "The green areas in Foster's plan cover almost 80 per cent of the park. The 60 per cent is a minimum requirement set by the Planning Department and the authority should do its best to honour the original design. The park is what impressed people from all walks of life."
The park covers 19 of the site's 40 hectares, providing a green belt of thousands of trees dotted with paths, sculptures and arts facilities, including a recently added modular theatre that will seat up to 1,500 people. The authority says the park will be the first part of the hub to open, partly as it's easiest to build.
When the authority's chairwoman, Chief Secretary Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, announced the revisions two weeks ago, she said the hub's underground structures - car parks, roads and exits for many of the buildings - would be left for the government to build. That is likely to delay the start of construction of some of the facilities.
At the time she denied the original HK$21.6 billion budget had soared to HK$47 billion, but would not give a revised estimate.
The authority declined to reveal how much green space had been taken away under the redesign but said the park's green coverage would amount to 60 per cent, and the park would be delivered in a cost-effective manner.
Lau said he agreed with the authority's view that a costly design does not necessarily mean good design. But an attractive green space is not necessarily expensive.
"If the authority is willing to give up 'big names' [famous landscape architects], the design cost will be minimal."
Foster's design, selected in 2011, impressed many Hongkongers with its large urban park containing 5,000 trees - which he described as resembling Central Park in New York.
The design also honoured an unrealised promise of the government when it had planned a regional park for the site under the Metro Plan in the 1990s, aiming to improve the quality of life of those living in Sham Shui Po and Yau Ma Tei.
The authority's spokeswoman said the park's size has remained unchanged but it has yet to come up with the number of trees to be planted.
Tony Tse Wai-chuen, the lawmaker for the architectural, surveying and planning sector, said the authority should ensure the park was a good quality one that the public would enjoy.
"We hope the authority won't be a big spender. Grass could take time and be costly to maintain," he said.

Bright Spots: Jan. 9, 2014Comments Email Print
The bike box will be placed at Edgewater Park in the new Lakefront Reservation this spring. It's a repurposed, locally sourced shipping container that provides a safe public parking space for cyclists in heavily trafficked areas.
"We are thrilled to be chosen as the recipient for the final bike box," said Brian Zimmerman, Cleveland Metroparks CEO, in a statement. He added, "Edgewater Park is part of the Cleveland community and we can't wait to have innovative, locally sourced bike parking for park users to enjoy. We look forward to working with LAND studio, Bike Cleveland and Charter One throughout this project and appreciate their creative efforts to improving our community very much."
The bike box project dates to August 2012, when the Charter One Foundation provided a grant to LAND studio through the bank's Growing Communities initiative, which aims to revitalize low- to moderate-income neighborhoods with projects that "demonstrate innovative solutions to community development, incorporate collaborative partnerships to improve life for residents, promote economic development through job creation and demonstrate a plan for long-term sustainability."
The concept for the original bike box, located on West 25th Street next to Nano Brew, "grew out of Ohio City's fondness for cycling and the growing need for more bike parking," according to a news release. In 2012, LAND studio and Bike Cleveland, with funds from the Charter One Foundation, worked with local artisans at The Rustbelt Welding Co. to design and build the first bike box. Since 2012, the Cleveland neighborhoods of Tremont, Ohio City, Detroit-Shoreway and St. Clair-Superior have received bike boxes.
The brand says it's lending its "resources, creativity and design expertise" to a lunchroom makeover, valued at about $10,000, for Benjamin Franklin Elementary School in Cleveland. The effort is part of FrogTape's Love for the Lunchroom program.
Work will be done during the holiday weekend of Jan. 17-20. The unveiling of the new lunchroom will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 21, when students, faculty and staff return to the building following the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
FrogTape says it has enlisted the help of television personality and interior designer Taniya Nayak and Tom Bury, construction manager from Food Network's show "Restaurant: Impossible," to create the lunchroom design.
The award "recognizes individuals who have personally and professionally contributed to the corporate renewal industry throughout the course of their careers." It's given at the discretion of the Turnaround Management Association's chairman with approval of the organization's management committee.
