NOTE: This project is outdated and may be insecure or incompatible with more recent versions of GPG.
gpg4usb is a basic, tabbed notepad tool with easy-to-use text and file encryption tools. Using the Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) security system means you can exchange encrypted text and files with someone you've never met, where most programs require a communicated password. Additionally, users can digitally "sign" and verify information to help establish integrity, ownership, or agreement.
Users need only exchange a "public key" with one another in order to communicate. New users will need to generate a key, while users of other compatible software can import their existing keys.
Functional in Linux (see How to Extract). GPG is a compatible, open source alternative to commercial PGP.

New Release versin 0.2.2:
Encodings, charsets and Шифрование: We rounded up a new release, repaired bugs dealing with non ascii encodings and also bring you a new translation. Thanks to Kirill you are now able to use gpg4usb with a russian interface. Furthermore you are now able to view key-properties and export private keys.
Added features in version 0.2.2: http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/
* Added key-property-dialog in key management
* Added export of private key
* Added russian translation
* Added warn message for key deletion
Additionally the following bugs were fixed in version 0.2.2:
* Fixed the keydb not found error, when umlauts, cyrillic and other special characters are in the pathname.
* Set minimum keysize to 768 Bit (required by gnupg for el-gamal subkey)
* Keysize-Bug fixed. Now when generating a key, the key has correct size
NOTE: When you created a key with an earlier version of gpg4usb, you should be aware, that it may only has a keysize of 1024 Bit. You can check this with the key-property dialog.
Many thanks to the bugreporters. Special thanks go to Kirill for russian translation and lots of testing on russian Windows.
basic problem at me:
at encryption > enter password if i click on cancel the program hangs on
Great program - the only portable program I know of that attempts to replicate GPG/PGP functionality with a nice GUI. There are a few other GUI front ends to GPG out there, but few of them are portable - this is by far the best. Version 2.3 promises digital signing, which so few encryption program seem to care about.
I should also mention that it imported my PGP 7 keys with no problem, though there is no advanced key management (e.g. sub keys, etc.).
Thanks, Mark! Signing really is an important feature, I think. We were thinking a lot about advanced key management. It's a tightrope walk, cause we want to keep the programm very simple, so that noone is overstrained - but a few features in key management would be fine, like signing other keys and such things.
New Version 0.2.3 is out!
Settings, Qt 4.5 and Português do Brasil: We added a settings dialog, fixed a bug in file encryption and added Brazilian translation (many thanks to Alessandro for this). Furthermore we updated to Qt 4.5.
Added features in version 0.2.3:
* Added settings dialog
* Added brazilian translation
The following bugfixes/changes were made in version 0.2.3:
* Updated to Qt 4.5
* Fixed bug in file encryption, that file is encrypted for checked, not the selected keys.
Again many thanks to the bugreporters. This time goes a special thanks to Alessandro for brazilian translation.
Summer, sun and new release. Within not quite a month we present you the result of newest polishing and bug-fixing. Viriato showed up and was so kind to provide a spanish translation. Many thanks to him and the other translators for updating the translation files.
Added features in version 0.2.4:
* Open file from command line
* Added setting to save checked private keys on exit
(kind of "encrypt to self"-behaviour)
* Added link to online-tutorial in help menu
* Added spanish translation
* Added undo to edit-menu
The following bugfixes/changes were made in version 0.2.4:
* In save-dialog on exit, don't exit, if cancel is hit.
* Fixed multilingual and multiplatform behaviour of shortcuts.
* Statically build with Qt 4.5 on Debian Sarge again, so it should run on rather old Linux-Distris
* From now on the download files are upx-compressed by default
Furthermore we started the implementation of PGP-MIME-parsing. This implementation is rather incomplete. We're not sure, if it's working under all circumstances. Also we're not yet satisfied with the GUI, so we marked it experimental in the settings dialog. If this warning is not keeping you away from testing, and you find errors or non-working PGP-MIME encoded messages, don't hesitate to report.
0.2.5 is out!
We proudly present you a shiny new settings dialog. Its now possible to remember password for a session and messages encoded "quoted printable" are decoded now. Viriato was so kind to send us an italian translation. The still experimental "decode PGP/MIME" feature allows to open attachments with the responsible application. Also we fixed some long outstanding bugs and updated gpg-binaries to the latest version.
New features in version 0.2.5:
* Tabbed settings dialog
* Redo action in edit menu
* Optional "remember password" function
* Italian translation
* Decoding "quoted printable" works now
* PGP/MIME attachments provide "open with external application" now. PGP/MIME support still considered experimental.
The following bugfixes/changes were made in version 0.2.5:
* Ask before overwriting existing files in file encryption
* Syncronize checked keys between file encryption dialog and mainwindow.
* Fix crashing on decrypting twice.
* Update GPG binaries to 1.4.11
* Update the Linux Qt library to 4.7
* Static linux build is now done on debian etch, this means libc => 2.3.6 supported.
Thanks guys for the continued development - a quick, simple, easy-to-use & portable encryption program... i think the recent news shows us just how important it is to have something like this.
Gpg4usb supports tabs in the text editor now. This eases working on several documents - you could write your response and have the email opened in the same window. As we imagined this a better way of handling documents, we decided to go for the next major number. Due to the great and quick work of our translaters, the application is available in six different languages. If you want to provide your language, examine the translation documentation. Take a look at the screenshots and download here http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/download.html
New features:
* Tabbed text editor
* Quote action, allowing email style reply
* Add keyfiles to keylist via drag'n'drop
Bugfixes and changes:
* Update the Windows Qt library to 4.7
* Warn before overwriting existing files in file encryption
* List keys in deletion dialog
* Encrypt and decrypt undoable
* Allow decryption of empty messages
* Signing, verifying and communication with key servers will come in the 0.3 series. Stay tuned to your portable GPG editor - there's nice stuff in the making.
Download link on this site has not been updated, until then, browse to the homepage and download the latest version.
Thanks for the new version alert
Allan: good catch, thanks.
The latest version (0.3.0) creates a "gnupg" folder in the User's Application Data Directory - the AppData/Roaming Folder on Win7. Don't know if this happened in previous releases.
Sign and verify finally arrive with gpg4usb 0.3.1!
This was one of the most requested features for gpg4usb. So here it is, available with our new release. Verification of signed messages is easier in combination with downloading the sender's key from a keyserver. So we also present: Import public keys from keyserver.
Thank's a lot to Tom for the new Vietnamese translation and to our other translators for their continuous work.
We also fixed the long outstanding "stealth mode"-bug - GnuPG creating an empty directory in the windows Application Data folder.
Download the new release from our website at http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/
New features:
* Sign and verify messages
* Import keys from keyserver
* Operation to remove double line breaks caused by some webmailers
Bugfixes and changes:
* Added Vietnamese translation
* Don't create empty directory in Application Data folder on windows
* Copyable email address in keylist
* Set default filename of exported key to .asc
* Added "show keydetails" to context menu of keylist
* Changed license to GPLv3
* Add warning for expired keys in details dialog
* Strike out expired keys in keylist
* Fix crash when hitting save in empty attachment
* Don't show icons in menus
* Fix crashes if no tab is open
* Add public key block to private key export for compatibility with older GnuPG versions
We've released version 0.3.1.1 today, because there were problems with signing messages in russian, greek or other languages with non-latin characters...
Great tool that actually works.
Is there any way to select encryption algorithm?
@remzz: This GUI doesn't, afaik it uses RSA AES 256 encryption.
The actual GPG tool, bin\gpg.exe does, but on the command-line. But this is handled through protocols. The protocol --pgp6 for instance doesn't provide AES encryption, --gnupg (default protocol) does. You can specify a cipher with --cipher-algo, typing 'gpg.exe --version' lists all available ciphers/hashes.
If you want to have a go at it, here's the man pages: http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/
Note that directly working with bin\gpg.exe as is breaks portability, you'll also have to feed it all default locations in gpg4usb\ ...
Would be a nice feature for a future release to be able to select different ciphers, but I personally don't mind.
remzz: The program uses DSA / Elgamal public keys. This is different than most programs that use symmetric key systems like AES or Twofish. It is possible to set the SIZE of the key (most recommend at least 2048) or you may use the included command-line tool to generate an RSA key pair (probably less secure but should work fine).
gpg4usb 0.3.2 released today!
The new release comes with a first start wizard, an offline help system and a lot of bugfixes. Our translators worked hard on bringing you localized versions: 0.3.2 ships in with nine languages! http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/
Excellent application !
The new wizard leaves an empty key in the registry (with GnuPG not installed locally):
Step "You can import keys from locally installed GnuPG", click on "Import keys from GnuPG" : the key is created.
I set up gpg4usb 0.3.2 on my thumbdrive and was glad my suggestion was implemented. I generated a 16384 bit key on my 2.53Ghz P4 3Gig RAM system and it took 11.5 hours to generate. It's a good thing I let the system operate overnight on this.
In the last week we integrated 4 new languages.
@procyon: Thanks for the hint, we've put it on our bug list and already located the appropriate line in source, which causes this bug. So this will be fixed in the next release.
@mixture: We weren't sure, if we should integrate this, because it could confuse beginners, who read in other tutorials, that the should use the maximum keysize possible. Would be great, if you write your opinion to our mailing list. In fact we're not sure, if we should reduce the maximum key size again to 8192 (which is the maximum key size of any other gpg program We know).
@webfork: We've already integrated generation of RSA keys for the next release. So this will be possible soon. And the size of the DSA key is always 1024 bit (given by gpgme I think), the size of the EL Gamal subkey can be set higher...
gpg4usb 0.3.2-1 released today!
0.3.2-1 generates safer gnupg-keys by default, with RSA and 1024bit minimum.
Including gpg binary was updated to version 1.4.12.
Fix creation of empty Windows registry key on import from existing GnuPG
Have fun! http://gpg4usb.cpunk.de/
New stable release 0.3.3-1
* gpg4usb-0.3.3-1 additionally contains a 64-bit linux binary now, so there's no need to have 32-bit compatibility libraries installed on a 64-bit linux system anymore
* we updated the included GnuPG-binaries from 1.4.16 to 1.4.18 for fixing some security issues
New alpha release 0.4
This release additionally contains binaries for MacOS. But since we had to rewrite the whole core, this release needs a lot of testing. So, if you want to be sure, better get the stable release. If you want to have a look what is planned for the release when it is finished have a look on our TODO-List.

February 06, 2017 09:25 ET
SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb. 6, 2017) - Modern and effective infrastructure like bridges enhance Canadians' quality of life by making jobs more accessible, supporting local business and enabling the public to spend less time on the road and more time with their families. The new Gouin bridge will be built to meet the needs of all users (vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists), creating significant benefits for the population of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and the region.
Jean Rioux, Member of Parliament for Saint-Jean, on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities and Lucie Charlebois, Minister for Rehabilitation, Youth Protection, Public Health and Healthy Living and Minister responsible for the Montérégie Region, on behalf of Laurent Lessard, Minister of Transport, Sustainable Mobility and Transport Electrification, and Michel Fecteau, Mayor of the City of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, today announced the start of construction on the new Gouin Bridge.
The $126 million project involves building a new structure located slightly north of the existing one. This new bridge will have two lanes in each direction, shoulders, sidewalks and a two-way bike path located on the south side. These feature will ensure the safety and functionality of the crossing, improve the movement of people and good and enhance the urban landscape.
Work will begin in the upcoming weeks. The existing bridge will remain open to traffic until the new bridge has been built to accommodate the approximately 20,000 vehicles that use it daily.
"Our government recognizes the importance of offering Quebecers reliable infrastructure to make transportation quicker and easier so that they can spend more quality time with their families. We are making investments that help grow the middle class and promote prosperity, while building a strong foundation for a sustainable economic future. . Investments in transportation infrastructure ensures they remain safe and efficient for years to come."
Jean Rioux, Member of Parliament for Saint-Jean, Quebec, on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities.
"This announcement kicks off a major construction project costing just over $126M. This is great news for the region's residents, who will benefit from this important new infrastructure."
Laurent Lessard, Minister of Transport, Sustainable Mobility and Transport Electrification and Minister responsible for the Centre-du-Québec Region.
"I am delighted by this major government contribution in the Montérégie region. The Gouin Bridge regional transportation infrastructure occupies a strategic place in the north-south corridor of the Le Haut-Richelieu RCM. Upon completion of the work, the population of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and neighbouring areas will be able to use a modern, fully functional and sustainable structure for at least the next 75 years."
Lucie Charlebois, Minister for Rehabilitation, Youth Protection, Public Health and Healthy Living and Minister responsible for the Montérégie Region.
"The construction of the new Gouin Bridge is a key element of our project to revitalize the Vieux-Saint-Jean. In addition to being a major transportation infrastructure linking the both side of our municipality's shore, the new bridge will have a distinctive mark specific to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu."
Michel Fecteau, Mayor of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

The hand cream has a really nice scent and moisturizes pretty well. The eye shadow came in handy this weekend because it ended up matching the face paint I chose. I used it to touch up my lids a little before heading to a Halloween party. It worked really well, I'm happy they coincidentally sent me the shade that matches my Halloween costume. Haha! Speaking of face paint, the facial wipes really helped get every last bit of blue paint and glitter off my face. The wipes have a really nice smell and they are foamy. I think I might order some when I run out of the face wipes I currently use.

RATHDRUM, Idaho – Kootenai County Sheriff's deputies and SWAT arrested a man Friday morning who was wanted for a probation violation.
Deputies responded to a home on N. Idaho Road near W. Highway 53 around 9:50 a.m. after receiving a report that Dustin Hieronymus, 36, was inside the home. Officials said he had a probation violation warrant for an arrest stemming from an aggravated assault charge.
When deputies arrived on scene, they said another person in the house exited and told them Hieronymus was inside. Authorities said Hieronymus refused to exit the home.
After a long standoff with deputies, the Kootenai County Joint Agency SWAT team was called in. Hieronymus surrendered to the SWAT team shortly after and was arrested.
Authorities said this was the 21st time Hieronymus was booked into the Kootenai County Public Safety Building.

Arizona State at Stanford
The teams haven't met since 2010. Stanford kept things simple in a closer-than-expected victory at Army. The Cardinal doesn't win pretty, it just wins with an excellent offensive line and power running game. Arizona State benefited from an officiating goof at the end of last week's game against Wisconsin, and the Sun Devils will take it. It's Stanford's and the Pac-12's first big game of the season and the Cardinal looks to make a statement.Upset of the week
Michigan State over Notre Dame
In the Spartans' first two games, they scored two offensive touchdowns and four on defense. But last week, Michigan State found an offensive spark in quarterback Connor Cook, who threw four touchdown passes in a victory over Youngstown State. If the Spartans can find any offense, they can be a formidable Big Ten contender. The Irish should be inspired after last week's lackluster victory over Purdue, but Michigan State has a motivational purpose of its own: Notre Dame beat a favored Spartans team in East Lansing last season.Others to watch
Tennessee at Florida
This rivalry helped define college football in the 1990s. Remember the characters? Steve Spurrier, Phil Fulmer, Peyton Manning and Danny Wuerffel? But the Gators have won eight straight in the series. Both are coming off stinging losses, Florida in a turnover-fest at Miami, and the Vols in a blood-letting at Oregon, but the Gators are farther along.
North Carolina at Georgia Tech
The Tar Heels scored 50 in this meeting last season — and lost by 18. Yellow Jackets quarterback Vad Lee threw four touchdowns passes against Duke last week, and if Tech and score by throwing it, the Coastal Division might have its favorite.
Utah at BYU
The Holy War. Dennis Erickson is the Utes' co-offensive coordinator and they're averaging nearly 50 points. That's not as impressive as what BYU did to Texas two weeks ago.On the horizon: Sept. 28

Uncanny Predictions
Joseph Schumpeter and Ayn Rand Provide Us With Sobering Thoughts
Editor's Note:
Both celebrated Harvard economist Joseph Schumpeter and famed author Ayn Rand made uncanny predictions about societal and economic trends that would inevitably threaten capitalism and destroy democracies.
Schumpeter (1883 – 1950) was named Austria's finance minister after World War I. He experienced, firsthand, the horrific consequences of runaway inflation; was an outspoken critic of age-old politically driven root causes of inflation; was dismissed from government service; and became a deservedly famed Harvard professor.
Ayn Rand (1905 – 1982) was a Russian-born American novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter. She is best known for her two best-selling novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
Without doubt, Rand's writings and philosophy are guaranteed to provoke controversy. Every argument she stirs, however, is relevant to building and sustaining a functioning society.
After we present the uncanny predictions of both Schumpeter and Rand, we provide readers (who may become depressed) with a series of follow-up articles detailing how we got into this mess and why it's quite possible to reignite economic growth and dramatically reduce result-less government spending if the right economic policies are put into place.
Peter F. Drucker's principles and practices provide the methodologies to help all Democracies to re-think and to re-form to stop and reverse the corrosion and spreading decay caused by the failure of the so-called Neo-Keynesian Welfare State.
In associated articles Drucker as Economist: Part I – Venezuela's Slide into Crisis & Its Lesson for America and Strength of U.S. Economy Depends on Re-strategizing and Permanent Cost-Cutting, readers should gain a full understanding of what's happened and what's apt to happen.
The Uncanny Predictions of Joseph Schumpeter
Here's an excerpt from Peter F. Drucker's article Schumpeter and Keynes, originally published in Forbes in May 1983:
In 1942, when everyone was scared of a World-wide deflationary depression, Schumpeter published his best-known book, Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, still, and deservedly, read widely. In this book he argued that capitalism would be destroyed by its own success.
This would breed what we would now call the "new class": bureaucrats, intellectuals, professors, lawyers, journalists, all of them beneficiaries of capitalism's economic fruits and, in fact, parasitical on them, and yet all of them opposed to the ethos of wealth production, of saving and of allocating resources to economic productivity.
The 40 years since this book appeared have surely proved Schumpeter to be a major prophet.
And then he proceeded to argue that capitalism would be destroyed by the very democracy it had helped create and made possible.
For in a democracy, to be popular, government would increasingly become the "tax state," would increasingly shift income from producer to non-producer, would increasingly move income from where it would be saved and become capital for tomorrow to where it would be consumed.
Government in a democracy would thus be under increasing inflationary pressure. Eventually, he prophesied, inflation would destroy both democracy and capitalism.
Now Ayn Rand's Prophetic Vision
Ayn Rand in her best-selling book, Atlas Shrugged, captured the essence of Schumpeter's prediction when she described a society in which its most productive citizens refuse to be exploited any longer by increasing taxation and mounting government regulations.
Rand describes how business leaders rebel by shutting down their enterprises and join a rebel leader named John Galt who is spearheading a rebellion to demonstrate that the "war on profits" will inevitably lead to the destruction of a functioning civil society.
Only if these leaders return to society, will a vibrant, growing economy continue to provide the highest possible standard living for the bulk of its members.
Rand infuses the idea (originally credited to Schumpeter by economic historians) that profit is part of a moral and ethical system.
Profit in this sense is a future cost, that is, the surplus to cover today's unintended operating crisis and tomorrow's uncertain, risky innovative decisions.
The political elite still talk about the evils of "profit maximization." Rand—in a roundabout way—demonstrates why profit maximization is not the way most organizations survive and thrive. Trading off short-term profits for long-term growth is the only way most organizations sustain themselves.
Rand attributes the pending collapse of society to the "looters and moochers" created by politicians who appear to be motivated by the the spirit of collectivism, but, in essence, are actually fueled by the need to gain power over others and riches for themselves.
Looters appropriate property belonging to contributing members of society (i.e., producers) through force and fear tactics.
Moochers just mooch; they create no value. In essence, moochers take away the property of others by taxation to support their "mooching."
Rand's point? Politicians have substituted "handouts" for what was intended to be "a helping hand."
Of late, many have interpreted Rand's major thesis as an attack on the modern welfare system and political ineptitude.
In Rand's view the welfare system (in many Democracies worldwide) was now focused on creating dependence instead of competence. Welfare was created to end poverty.
But by all measures that has not happened. Welfare instead (for a host of reasons) has turned into degradation and dependence.
Mooching is encouraged when able people are financially rewarded for staying on welfare and financially penalized for getting off it.
Rand put a spotlight on Progressive/Socialist agendas that could lead to never-ending taxation in order to pay for limitless social programs – based on "iffy" moral causes–designed to help the less fortunate.
Whenever there develops in any area of activity or taste or values a strong movement in one direction, we may expect in its wake a strongly opposite movement.
This has been called a concept of "opposites." In the beginning there was darkness and light, and good and evil.
The prevalence of competing opposites is a prevailing theme in recorded history. And that's what Ayn Rand was predicting would happen if current trends (as she viewed them) would continue.
The 2016 election is, unquestionably, about competing opposites. Rand was, in the final analysis, extending trends that were beneath the threshold of awareness into tomorrow.
Atlas shrugged was an instant success. Of course, it drew it share of outspoken critics, who appeared horrified (and expressed what could be called "injured innocence") concerning Rand's major thesis. A thesis that's proving remarkably true.
But Rand to this day has a astonishing number of followers who view the world from an individualistic, self-reliant lens…and believe that capitalism has been a success story in improving the lives of people and has delivered more growth and freedom than any other system.

What is the US holiday "Thanksgiving" all about? We are, of course, taught in grade school about Pilgrims, Indians, and a great feast to celebrate the survival of white Europeans in the dangerous New World (anthropologists love to talk about feasting, eh?). Now the holiday has come to mean family get togethers, football games, televised parades and, of course, lots and lots of food.
On the other hand, to others, such as some Native American activist groups, Thanksgiving has become a site of contention–pointing toward the beginning of the attempted genocide of the North American Indian….Some have labeled it a "National Day of Mourning." For instance, check out this protest in Plymouth in 1998:
For more on the "National Day of Morning" check out this wikipedia entry:
Several scholars have dissected the history of the holiday and how it has become a part of our collective cultural memory…
Take a look at Catherine Clinton's recent article in the on-line journal History Now to get a handle on how the holiday came to be….it has a much more recent origin than some might imagine:
Because I'm an archaeologist…I also will point out that James Deetz took a turn at dismantling the historical veracity of our conception of the first Thanksgiving in his posthumously published The Times of their Lives: Life, Love, and Death in Plymouth Colony (Deetz and Deetz 2001). You can read the excerpt courtesy of the Plymouth Colony Archive Project:
Happy Turkey Day….or National Day of Mourning!!!!!!

One of the antivirus software AntiVirs Individual is known with the name of the company, for private use are offered free of charge.
Avira Internet Security 2013 received a new, but fairly cluttered interface, so we expected that avira internet security 2013 preactivated would take the chance of this new release to update it a little.
Also Check Our Related Post:
- ESET Smart Security 9 Full Crack Version Download
- Download Avast Premier Antivirus 2016 Full Version
It seems the company didn't share our view, although, and they simply made the problem worse by adding on even more options for the numerous new features.
The end final result is that releasing the program now shows a console with more than 30 links and buttons you can click, along with a full set of menus to explore. Anyone new to the program is likely to be a small confused, if only initially.
Avira's anti-virus engine has a good popularity, and generally scores well in self-sufficient examining. AV Comparative's last "file detection" test, for example, rated the previous edition as second (to G Data) out of 20, with an outstanding detection rate of 99.4 percent.
And the program had no problem with our 25 test samples, possibly, easily detecting and eliminating every single one.However avira internet security 2013 activator did also increase some false alarm systems, wrongly featuring several entirely innocent (but just little known) resources as malware. You do get the choice to bypass this verdict, though, if you're sure it's wrong, so we have been able to keep the applications.
Browsing Protection
Internet Security 2013 vets the URLs you click, attempting to block malicious sites before they can load.
At minimum, that's the plan. The truth proved a little less efficient, with the suite spotting only a fairly average 75 percent of our test URLs. But the program's drive-by download security blocked most of the threats on the staying pages, while the antivirus engine got the rest: our program was never in danger.
We did encounter one false alarm, although, where a genuine site was blocked. And the irritation here is that there's no bypass link, no "display the page anyway" option. You can get around this by simply switching off web security and returning to the URL — it only takes a several of clicks — but that seems a little extreme (and of course it's all too easy to forget you've done it).
Features of Avira Internet Security 2013 Full Version Crack:-

Raw Vs Pasteurized Dairy Battles In LA Courts
Mike Adams released an update on the continuing story of the Rawesome Food Raid in Venice CA.
This issue just makes me sad beyond words and it has taken me several days to write this post.
It also makes my first and most important job as a mother, extremely difficult to fulfill properly – that of keeping my children out of harms way and educating them on the multitude of health hazards ever present in our world.
Even if we are battling Brain Fog in the head, we can still see this is ridiculous. If it were true that raw food is dangerous to our health and we should not eat it, then how the hell did we get to the 21st Century time frame as a species? I honestly want to know because if this is true, we would all be dead already!
What makes me so mad is that my government is spending Millions of dollars to try and prove Raw food is dangerous and make criminals out of anyone associated with it.
At the EXACT same time, my government does not hold the industrialized food network and big agri industry responsible for the health implications tied to pesticides, artificial sweeteners, neuro toxic glutamates, etc that are allowed in our grocery stores and restaurants.
Cancer, diabetes, juvenile diabetes, heart disease, digestive disorders, auto immune disorders, chronic fatigue, skin disorders, brain fog, and a general lack of vitality is growing across the board for every single American…all of these health issues are dramatically increasing every single year.
Our government has one thing right, our food is killing us. They are unfortunately pointing the finger at the wrong farmer and food supply chain.
I had the opportunity to meet James Stewart, the owner of Rawesome Food, while meeting with the ANU mineral water formulators who are very close friends to him. He showed me around the Rawesome market – it was a members only farmers market where I was introduced to many foods I had no idea were available. He worked hard to provide Real food to folks like myself that know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the American fast/processed food industry is our #1 Health Hazard!
If our government system is willing to lock these folks up, it affects all of us. Every shopping member of the Rawesome market signed a release form stating "I am fully responsible and capable of making food shopping decisions for myself and choose to purchase raw foods."… and the state of CA is saying, no I am not!
This is tyranny in action and it will not stop here if they succeed. It will affect us all, every single American is under attack. Please don't wait until it is an issue that you care about to stand up and add your support. This is a pivotal moment and YOUR freedom is at risk as well.
Mike Adams from the Natural News network created a colorful infograph that weighs the pros and cons between raw dairy and our conventional dairy products found on most neighborhood grocery shelves.
Pass this on and support our need for deep change, deep change that will help increase our health and vitality!
Have a great day,
The Fountain of Wellness

STRATFORD, Conn. -- Hundreds of people turned out on a recent sunny Saturday to remember a Stratford resident killed by a drunken driver and to raise money for other victims, according to a report by the Stratford Star.
Wayne Lecardo and co-worker John Geise both died in 2007 in Groton after their car was struck head-on by one driven by a highly intoxicated 16-year-old boy, the Stratford Star reported.
A foundation, set up in Lecardo's honor, drew about 200 participants in the 6th annual Wayne's Walk fundraiser at Short Beach Park, a recreation area near his childhood home on Riverdale Drive, the Stratford Star story said.
The 5K walk included music, food, beverages, race painting, a bounce house, and a silent auction.
It was sponsored by numerous organizations and businesses such as The Home Depot, MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), Dunkin Donuts and the town itself.
According to its website, the foundation's mission is to raise awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving.
It promotes activities and educational programs and helps support victims and their families emotionally and financially.
The foundation, which is headed by Lacardo's best friend, Darin Bershefsky, praised the Stratford man for his kindness and generosity.
"Wayne's perspective was truly unique," its mission's statement said.
Bershefsky himself was nearly killed by a drunk driver.
Just a few hours before the 34-year-old's funeral, Bershefsky and two other friends were hit by a someone whose license had been suspended because of previous DWI arrests, Bershefsky said on the foundation's website.
The walk, the foundation said, represents "a memorial with a message."

Selling Out: Profit From Your Passion
Deciding what to sell can be a stressful process of starting an eCommerce venture. Ensuring demand is only one part of the equation. You also need to factor in the supply chain, the cost to bring a product to market, potential competition, and many other factors.
Having dabbled in a variety of products, I can confidently say that no product gives me greater satisfaction than a product I am passionate about. Choosing something you love also sets you up for success. Here are a few reasons why:
- You are your customer – You know what you want, which can make market research a breeze. As long as you don't feel like what you want is too far out there. If you love it, if you would buy it, chances are other people would as well.
- You know how to shop – Children's clothing is a high volume product with moderately high margins. It is cheap to ship, and there is an endless supply of mom's looking to indulge their shopping habits by buying something for their kids. I'd love to be in that market, but I don't know anything about it. I have kids and they do indeed wear clothing, but I unless I am going to create a clothing line specifically for dads to pick out for their kids, I don't know what to buy. If I don't know what to buy, I don't know what will sell.
- You enjoy the product – I have been a guitar player for a long time, and I get excited when I see a beautiful instrument. I sell a lot of guitar kits now. When customer takes the kit and creates a beautiful instrument, I am excited to see it. I am eager to post them to Facebook or Twitter, and I like to talk about them. It's natural for me to be excited about the product. Likewise, when new techniques or technology emerges for my product lines, I am excited to talk about that also.
So what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies and interests?
Exercise: In 3 minutes or less, make a list of 50 things you can sell based on your passion. Consider the things you like to buy (or dream about buying), supplies for your hobbies, accessories for your favorite gadget. Get creative, one of these products might be the launch pad for your new business.
Once you have some candidates, follow the sourcing model of testing new products to ensure you have a good market. Then, full speed ahead!

Prior to training, you might want to send out login details to everyone attending so they can jump in and have a quick look before training day.
It can be easier if you ask the leaders of each ministry or department in your church to identify and notify their people about logging into Elvanto.
Make sure that you assign access permissions to all those you wish to log in. You can do this using Mass Manage if it's easier, or get your leaders to go through their people one by one and give them access to what they need.
Here's a few things to consider when you go to give people access to your church's Elvanto.
Not everyone in your church needs to be able to login to Elvanto. You need to allow your volunteers and leaders to do so, but just about everyone else is optional.
If you greatly limit the amount of people you give access to, there'll be fewer problems popping up in your system because fewer users means fewer user errors. Good thing is: you'll iron these out the more you release to groups of people in your church.
Once you've assigned everyone correctly, all you need to do is email the key users you want to log into Elvanto. Here's how to send login details in Elvanto.
Within the email share all the great things about Elvanto and add the following placeholder:
This magic little placeholder will generate a unique code for each individual user that is valid for two weeks. When they click the link it will ask for them to supply a username and password. Once they set this, it saves to the database and they now have a login!
Some churches might prefer to set a username and password for each of their people which is also fine. It just might be a bit slower 😉
The answer to this question is almost always 'yes'. A "dry run" is a short time where only a few people have access to the system. "Dry runs" can just be a small group of people, or one particular ministry that you bring in to the system to see if they have any difficulties. Try to choose a group that's enthusiastic and likely to use a variety of features. Having a "dry run" before letting everyone into your system will help smooth out some obstacles, without 150 emails from people who can't find the calendar.

Broadband Services
Making the Connection in Essex
Essex County Council's local broadband plan, 'Superfast Essex Broadband' has been approved by central government and now plans can be put into action on selecting a provider for the service and allocating areas for upgrade.
The aim of this project is to enable 90% of the Essex population to be able to receive Superfast Broadband by 2020.
As part of the plans the County Council, along with borough partners, are asking residents to register their interest in getting Superfast Broadband by visiting www.essex.gov.uk/ruralbroadband or www.braintree.gov.uk/superfast
This does not guarantee an upgrade, however areas with the most residents registered will stand a greater chance of being selected as one of the first areas for upgrade.
If residents are unable to access the internet in their own homes, they can visit local libraries to use the computers for free. Library staff will be on hand to assist anyone that isn't sure.
County Broadband - delivers superfast wireless broadband to rural communities and is available in Great Maplestead NOW!
County Broadband is a Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP), with over ten years' experience, which specialises in the provision of broadband networks and services into difficult to get to places – especially rural areas like Great Maplestead.
They offer one of the fastest rural broadband networks available in the country – often at speeds that are faster than many urban speeds - and you do not need a telephone line to connect to it!
You can receive a superfast broadband service NOW - (32Mb upload and download).
- The Village Hall was connected to the network for the Annual Parish Assembly meeting on the 15th April 2015 to allow people to experience and test the service.
- Properties in line-of-sight with the church tower were able to be connected from Monday 13th April 2015
- Further Access Point installations to deliver the service to the rest of the village were completed by the end of April 2015
- Properties not in line-of-sight with the church were able to be connected from the beginning of May 2015.
If you wish to take up the service you will need to register your details on the County Broadband website, which also exactly locates your property on a map. Please visit https://www.countybroadband.co.uk/ (the home page), choose which service (Residential or Business) you require and then input your postcode into the box on the right side of the webpage. Follow the on-screen instructions, which will take you through the registering process. County Broadband will then contact you to arrange an installation date.
County Broadband offers a community-centric solution to broadband provision in the rural community, working as a partnership with Parish Councils, the local church, and the community as a whole to deliver superfast broadband to those areas which have not been able to benefit up until now.
Contact County Broadband for more information - Tel: 0845-686 5000

Deutsche Bank a Serious Threat to the Financial and Monetary System?
by the Curmudgeon with Victor Sperandeo
Disclaimer: Unless otherwise noted or attributed, the opinions expressed herein are those of Victor Sperandeo.
The Problem:
Deutsche Bank (DB) has been struggling to build up capital during the stricter financial system regulatory environment of recent years. The largest bank in Germany has a huge derivative exposure (estimated to be $46T at year end 2015), has been accused of silver market manipulation, and falsifying the accounts of Italy's third-biggest bank (which itself is in deep trouble). One week ago, DB was threatened with a $14B DoJ fine for its involvement in selling tainted mortgages during the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Many investors wondered if a fine that size would be a fatal blow to DB. Yet others are more sanguine.
Not to Worry: DB Not a Real Threat?
In fact, many financial market professionals don't think Deutsche Bank (DB) failure is a real threat to the monetary system.
They either believe central banks and/or government agencies would save the biggest bank in Germany (too big to fail) OR that the derivatives and hedge fund business counter-party risk is not as great as many (e.g. NY Times, UK Telegraph, and many other well respected newspapers) believe it is.
When asked to compare the possible bankruptcy of DB with the cascading financial fall-out of the Lehman Brothers failure and non-rescue in September 2008, Don Luskin, chief investment officer at investment firm Trend Macro said:
"Whatever happens with Deutsche Bank, this is not — I repeat, not — a Lehman moment. We are not looking at globally interconnected fragility like we were in 2008. And if anything goes wrong at all, after the 2008 experience, the central banks of the world know precisely what to do to put the fire out."
Several analysts and money managers believe global regulators are better equipped to deal with a crisis than they were eight years ago when Lehman filed for bankruptcy and financial market liquidity dried up.
"Banking systemic risk is much lower now than in 2007-08," says David Kotok, chief investment officer at Cumberland Advisors. "German bank supervision is also tighter," he added.
That view is based on a somewhat shaky belief that the ECB, EU or the German government itself, would take the necessary steps to keep DB operating and avoid a failure. [That's after Germany's Merkel denied there were any talks of her government rescuing DB.]
"When push comes to shove, Merkel will bail out Deutsche Bank," says Luskin of TrendMacro.
DB Presents Systematic Risk to the Financial System:
"What makes Deutsche Bank systemic is their sheer size combined with the leverage that is required to stay in the flow and be an intermediary," said Anthony J. Perrotta Jr., an expert in the structure of financial markets at TABB Group, a consulting firm. "But as capital becomes more scarce, this becomes a fragile equation."
A simple calculation from a NY Times article shows DB's fragility. Deutsche Bank has €67 billion ($75 billion) in equity that supports assets of €1.6 trillion ($1.8 trillion), which mean it is levered at a ratio of 25 to 1.
Making Deutsche Bank's ratio more troubling is that many of these assets are of the most illiquid variety, called Level 3 securities, for which establishing a price is guesswork and finding a buyer near impossible. According to the last annual report, DB's Level 3 assets stood at €32 billion, which was about half of the bank's equity buffer.
DB is also highly interconnected with other financial institutions which increases systematic risk if it fails.
Graphic courtesy of Fortune.com
Stuart Graham, a banking analyst with Autonomous Research in London, says that Deutsche Bank has more high-paid risk takers than any other bank — including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Barclays and Credit Suisse.
Robert Engle, an economist at New York University who was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on volatility and capital markets, has designed a model that ranks financial institutions in terms of their systemic risk. It takes into consideration leverage, the bank's stock price and its equity base, and as such it represents a real-time measure of the dangers a bank poses to the financial system at a given moment in time.
Currently, DB is ranked at the top among European banks in terms of risk, requiring close to €100 billion in fresh cash to ensure that it could survive a sustained sell-off in the markets.
"If you fear a bank has solvency problems, financial managers withdraw from the bank because there is no reward and all risk," says Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at Baird. "It doesn't mean that Deutsche Bank is in immediate danger, but you certainly do not want to be the last one out."
Victor: DB's Problems Stem from ECBs Flawed Monetary Policies
The most interesting and stimulating headline I read on this topic was titled: ECB Says Deutsche Bank "Systemic Threat" Is "Not ECB Fault."
The European Central Bankers, who are unelected politicians, are blaming elected politicians for the problems of the largest bank in Germany. Of course, the problem stems from the central banks themselves with zero or negative interest rates and control of the bond markets.
Yet the typical elected and appointed political leaders are very much to blame, as they expect CENTRAL BANKS to save their decaying collectivist agenda with monetary policy alone since their fiscal policies have failed badly. Here's an excerpt from an article posted at ZeroHedge:
ECB president Draghi brazenly "refused to answer questions" regarding Deutsche Bank during a closed-door meeting in the German parliament. Afterwards in conversation with journalists, he denied that the negative interest rates being imposed by the ECB are partly responsible for Deutsche Bank and the German financial system's troubles.
"If a bank represents a systemic threat it cannot be because of low interest rates. It has to be for other reasons," Mr Draghi asserted to reporters somewhat dogmatically and simplistically.
However, he was contradicted by the head of Germany's Banking Association, Michael Kemmer, who told Deutschland funk radio that the ECB's low interest rate policy was partly responsible for the current problems that Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank are facing."
Yet Mario Draghi's QE policies have caused bond prices to rise such that bond price appreciation became the objective and yields didn't matter anymore. Bonds have become trading objects, not income investments. Else why would ANYONE buy a bond with negative interest rates if not for the expectation that ECB buying will make them more negative?
Low (or negative) rates on the short end of the yield curve have virtually become one with the long end via QE. Without a spread between short and long yields banks can't make profits as middle men to borrowers. So big banks like DB greatly suffer when short rates are zero or negative!
DB's stock price has declined over 53% this year. However, one has to hold back a gasp of awe to look back to 2007 when DB was $140.13 in dollars. It closed Tuesday, October 4th at $13.33, which is a loss of over 90%!
Again this is the LARGEST BANK in Germany, which is the strongest nation in Europe! Being compared with Lehman Bros is a joke. DB is 1000 x's Lehman! If DB fails, the world is over as you know it. Adding to the DB's stress (and investors' fears) was German Chancellor Angela Merkel's promise NOT to bail the banks out, but rather bail the banks in.
Commerzbank Also In Trouble:
Few noticed that Commerzbank1, the second largest bank in Germany, has suspended its dividend and cut a net 7,300 full time jobs as it tries to shore up its business in the face of ultra-low interest rates and sagging client activity. The bank said its decision to cut almost one in five of its employees worldwide and merge two of its largest businesses will result in a €700m write-off and a loss for this quarter.
Note 1. Commerzbank, has assets that are about a third of those of Deutsche Bank.
Victor's Conclusions and End Quote:
DB will be saved- forget Merkel's absurd claim, which is political. The question for investors is what about the OTHER big banks that are in big trouble? For example, Italy's oldest (large) bank "Banca Monte dei Paschi di Seiena" is on life support as is Uni-credit. And there are many more Italian banks like it. How will they ALL be saved?
This in turn means it is time to be very concerned! Having government(s) save big banks that were brought down by counterproductive (if not egregious) central bank monetary policies could be the beginning of the end of our modern financial system.
It is best described by Screwface (which means to make an angry face), a Jamaican drug lord character in the 1990 movie Marked for Death:
"Everybody want go heaven. Nobody want dead. Afraid."
Good luck and till next time...

Dave Draper, a 1960s bodybuilding star is back-and touting the rewards of strength building
By John Hanc
Six feet tall and 235 rock-hard pounds, Dave Draper rose like a blond colossus from the mists of 1960s pop culture. He was everywhere-on the covers of Muscle Builder and Mr. America, flexing his 20-inch biceps in the California sun. In the 1967 movie Don't Make Waves. And on TV's The Monkees, kicking sand in the face of "97-pound weakling" Davy Jones, in a spoof of the old Charles Atlas ads.
Now, at 64, Draper is as passionate as ever about the value of lifting weights to live longer by staying strong and fit. He urges others 50-plus to follow in his footsteps, even those who have never done a dumbbell press in their lives. "Weightlifting can be helpful, interesting and rewarding," he says. "Your vigor, your energy, your independence ... these are all things to be gained from weight training."
They are also things Draper lost for many years. As a young, handsome bodybuilding icon, he seemed to epitomize the Southern California lifestyle, and his physique earned him the Mr. Universe title. In the '60s, Draper personified fitness-but few knew that his whole shtick was a sham.
Except the muscles: they were real. Draper had been developing those since he was 12, not on a West Coast beach but in the basement of his parents' home in Secaucus, N.J.
And the girls and glamour? Not true. Weightlifting was a job. "I wasn't that surfer guy with all the chicks," Draper says. "I was the guy with a wife and kid who dragged himself down to the gym at 6 every morning."
Bodybuilding publisher Joe Weider helped create the Draper myth. He brought him to California at age 21, put him on the cover of his magazine Muscle Builder and dubbed him "the Blond Bomber." Hollywood and TV came calling.
Suddenly, it was all over. Draper was replaced by a charismatic newcomer, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Blond Bomber was out, the Austrian Oak was in.
Draper took the demotion hard: he became a real dumbbell, falling into a decade-long haze of drug abuse. In 1983 he nearly died from congestive heart failure. After that, he wrote in his autobiography, Brother Iron, Sister Steel (2001), "my eyes cleared ... I plugged into the gym and resuscitated the soul."
And the gym is where you'll still find Draper, who lives in Aptos, Calif. He weighs in at 220 and is still rock-hard. He's also healthy, sober and enthusiastic about the weight training that has defined his life. And he's spreading the word to men and women of all ages to build their strength for better balance and endurance.
"Start lifting [weights] cautiously but courageously," he advises. "Consistency is the key." He favors free weights for performing basic exercises that work the muscles.
After his hiatus from training, Draper now goes to the gym with more zeal. "I'm not nearly as strong," he says, "but I look forward to it. Most of the time, when I'm done with my workout, I've got a big smile on my face."
