FreeHookups.com Review – #1 Top Online Personals FAQ
Find out which dating sex sites are legit and which ones are scams, when we review the most-talked about hookup and sex personals sites – FreeHookups.com. As the top review site online, we take our reviews seriously and your feedback is important. We received a lot of emails from our readers asking us about the new hookup site FreeHookups.com. Is it really free? Is it a scam? Is it actually going to get me laid?
The casual sex and dating market is completely flooded with scams and terrible sites, which is why we like to test them out and give you an idea of what you're getting into before you spend your hard-earned cash. One thing Freehookups has going for it is that it's FREE. So don't worry about parting with your money on this website, however, that's not the only reason you should join.
Freehookups.com has been on everyone's lips since it landed on the scene with a big bang. Do people really join a site JUST FOR SEX? The answer is a resounding YES. Dating and relationship sites are a way of the past. With a strong lean towards open relationships and polyamory in dating trends, people are no longer looking for "the one" to settle down with. Even the New York Times has been writing about how polyamory is the hottest new thing in the young generation. So where does that leave relationship sites? In the dust. The way of the future is casual sex and instant hookup sites and apps.
Read on to find out what this Online Personals FAQ'er thinks of this hot new casual sex site. Spoiler alert: we totally loved it and think you should try it out and join us in the lovefest!
Freehookups.com guarantees you will get laid in your city and boasts impressive statistics about their rate of member sex-ccesses. It also promises access to millions of men and women who are on their site only for casual sex and fetishes. When I joined I was hesitant to believe the hype. The site looks polished, very professional, but what lurked beyond the "join here" gate? A lot, actually.
Inside they have an easy-to-navigate Member Search tool, a sleek design, and eye-catching members. After setting up my profile in a no-muss, no-fuss fashion, I was ready to begin browsing members and messaging people if I so desired. Almost immediately after finalizing my profile details I was messaged by a couple of attractive men in my area. It almost seemed too easy, but after one of them explained to me that new members were featured on their location page, it made sense. I was the new belle of the ball on FreeHookups.com. After a short but sweet conversation with both men, I was feeling more confident about striking a conversation with other "currently available" guests. Seeking for sexual partners online is an easy way to get over that annoying fear of rejection most of us have. You're merely browsing their page (and letting them take it from there if you keep your visibility settings on) or sending them a coy message to prompt them to respond in turn. There's not a whole lot to it.
FreeHookups encourages daily use to maximize the experience, and I would concur. I was surprised by just how much activity my profile gained, but the more often I was online, the more messages I got. Especially when I activated the GPS feature on my phone for Close Proximity Matching. You can match with other members based on distance to them, sexual preference, sexual interests, age, and physical features – or a combination of all of them! I got as specific as I could when I was searching for a hunk for the night – and the FREE HOOKUPS APP did a great job of matching me!
1) IN-SITE and IN-APP MESSAGING AND VIDEO MESSAGING
With the option to message members in chat style, it creates a great conversational tone to all messages, even mores on the Free Hookups App. You can basically text without having to give out your phone number, so you never have to give up your anonymity if you desire to keep your real identity under wraps. You can also enjoy the video option, for the more bold chatters. I engaged in some light video sex with another member and had a real blast doing it. It seems like a popular feature on the site that a lot of members use and enjoy. I would highly recommend trying it – especially once you've talked for a little bit with the person you're attracted to.
FreeHookups.com offers great customization for preference settings, what you display in your profile, how you display it, and how you search. I prefer this method to other sites that connect your social media accounts with no regard for the need for privacy or anonymity. This site understands the value of discretion. You can customize your profile to attract the type of members that you like, so when they type what they're looking for, your profile will come up. From there, they can follow, favorite, or message you directly. You don't have to worry about being judged like other apps, where people swipe one way and never see your profile again. FreeHookups.com changes as its users change, and knows that what you prefer today might change tomorrow.
If you don't want to have to search members with specific interests or browse specific areas, ages, or preferences each time you login, you can also store your searches for later use. FREEHOOKUPS.COM will send you matches and alerts based on your saved searches, so you never even have to bother with the browsing! You can receive them straight to your inbox on the website and/or to your mobile app. You can also receive alerts based on proximity, if you and another member like each other, you can receive an alert for when they're nearby. It's a fantastic, new, and never-before-seen feature on ANY OTHER SITE!
FreeHookups boasts an uncomplicated design, interface, and sign-up process. They've managed to pack a whole lot of intelligent dating and sex tools with the easiest to understand execution. You won't have to waste your time clicking here, then there, going in circles. They lay it out so easily that anyone can figure it out. The lack of personal quizzes and hoops you have to jump through to unlock members and gain access to certain sections of the site is also a big bonus. It features no, if very few, pop-up ads and no pesky porn videos that alert everyone in your office that you're looking for someone to hook up with. All of it's sub-sections are easy to find and understand, including the fine print – which basically just lays out how they handle privacy and why you're secure using their site. It's a pretty impressive execution! And the best thing to make simple – Free Hookups makes it incredibly easy to get laid!
Freehookups.com is just as it says – free! While there are options to upgrade, and they seem to offer a lot, you can also just cruise by on the free plan. I suggest trying it out for free first and seeing if it's the right fit for you. Our more conservative members might not enjoy the no-holds-barred atmosphere with plenty of sexy photos. It's very sex-positive, and very turned on. It's by far the most sex-friendly online personals site out there.
Because Freehookups.com is SO sex-friendly it might scare off some of our tamer readers. It's also very interactive, and once you're on it, you will probably get messaged – A LOT. If you're a more timid dater, and are just getting your toes wet, this might not be the best starting point for you. It might be easier to try out a more relaxed approach to hooking up. Although, freehookups is great about de-activation and has excellent privacy settings. So, the choice is ultimately yours! The positives far outweigh the negatives when it comes to FreeHookups.
Online Personals FAQ highly rates FREE HOOKUPS. It's one of the best sites you can try out for casual sex, random hookups, sex personals, and kinky fetish sex. Very few sites offer the level of features found here, especially free ones. If you're hoping to try something new, looking to get laid or explore your sexier side, then give FreeHookups a shot. It's a great addition to the sex dating online community.
Join in on the fun and tell us what you think about the #1 sex and hookup site anywhere online! We love to hear about your sexual escapades!

Selena Gomez Swaps Sparkly Blue Gown For Sexy Red Dress At The 2016 Grammy Awards
One gorgeous look just wasn't enough for Selena Gomez! After turning heads on the red carpet in a sparkly blue dress, the 'Hands To Myself' singer decided to switch things up by slipping into a red hot gown that totally stunned! Which one do you like better?
Selena Gomez, 23, already had us swooning over her sparkly blue gown when she hit the red carpet at the 58th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 15. But as it turns out, one show-stopping look just wasn't enough for this sexy songstress, as she later decided to completely switch things up by slipping into a fiery red halter gown! That's right — she gave us two winning looks in just one night! Which one do you like better?
Selena never fails to impress us with her sexy style and tonight's Grammy Awards ceremony was certainly no exception. After hitting the red carpet with her BFF Taylor Swift, 26, in a form-fitting Calvin Klein sequin blue gown that featured a plunging neckline and two sexy cutouts, Selena decided to switch things up for the main event by slipping into a red satin Cushnie et Ochs halter dress that oozed Old Hollywood glamour. The fiery frock hugged Selena curves to perfection and, like her original blue dress, also featured two cutouts on either side for an extra dose of sex appeal.
In keeping with the theme, Selena complimented her show-stopping ensembles with an equally as stunning beauty look consisting of big, voluminous curls, a neutral smokey eye look and a blush lip. We love how versatile her style is and how she can literally wear anything she wants, and still look flawless!
On top of looking drop-dead gorgeous, Selena also appeared to be having a total blast with her bestie TayTay, who just so happened to be her hot date that evening. Before the show even started, the two gave us some serious friendship goals when they shared a super adorable video of the them freaking out together over Taylor's first Grammy win of the night. In the sweet video, Selena in her full hair and makeup, screaming and gushing over her bestie's win for 'Best Music Video' for "Bad Blood." Eventually, the camera pans to Taylor, who can't even look straight-on in the lens, as she seems to practically be in tears. The girls share a sweet hug at the ending of the video, and it's beyond adorable. "We just won a Grammy for the "Bad Blood" music video and we are NOT OK," Taylor captioned the video. Seriously, how perfect are these two?
While Selena herself may not have been nominated for an award this year, we think she's totally deserving of a Best Dressed nod, for these two seriously sexy looks. Do you agree, HollywoodLifers? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below and be sure to tell us which of Selena's stunning Grammy Awards dresses you like best!

I think its the same like MP4. The quality is very good and the size very small. When i will import it in my title in lectora online, it ask me to convert and if i do this (with compression level low), the qualtity is very bad. But when i import it without converting, the videofile is suddenly a black picture with text insert "Download File" Has anyone an idea?

However, I'm not sure why it's outputting in .m4v for you. That's an Apple-wrapped version of .mp4. Are you using one of the Apple device presets for output? I use the Fast 1080p30 output under the General group, and everything plays clear and fast in Lectora. Dominic April 30, 2019 at 12:55 PM #424259 Score: 1 Dom FMember Karma: 2 pts@dfulgoni6403 I poked around a bit more, and found this in the Handbrake Documentation: "They are the exact same file, the only difference is the extension. MP4 vs M4V. For MP4 files, HandBrake will automatically use the extension M4V when you pass-through audio (AC3), use SRT subtitles or have chapter markers enabled. You can simply change the file extension between .mp4 and .m4v as the file is exactly the same. There are no differences in the content or container itself. You can disable the option to automatically set this in !HandBrakes preferences." Hope that helps, Dominic This post has received 1 vote up. May 2, 2019 at 1:39 AM #424445 Score: 0 Marcel MiloMember @mmilo9281 Hi Domenic, thanks that works 🙂 Yes handbrake is really cool. That was the solution, i have only changed the extension to MP4 and then i could imported the file in lectora without encoding. greetings Marcel Author Posts Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - Pavilhão Carlos Lopes, Lisbon, Portugal - 16.12.1988 (Flac)
One of my fondest memories :) HUGE Thanks to everubody involved in making this recording avaiable.

The band was playing for the first time in Portugal.

Editor notes:
I am uber happy to be able to get out this historic document of the first Nick show in Portugal on the 29th anniversary of the gig. This was recorded by my friend Ana who I e-met in one of Nick facebook fan groups - and she mentioned this - her FIRST EVER tape. OK, has everyone pictured a 20-year old girl with a tape recorder at a Nick Cave show in 1988? Exactly. I donÕt think there were many! Anyways - she kindly transferred the tape (actually, I think her son did!) last year in response to my nagging :-) and sent me the wav. Also included are photos of the tape and some photos she took at the show.
There were two stumbles: something went wrong with the tape recorder at the end of From Her To Eternity - beginning of Your Funeral My Trial. By some CRAZY twist of fate, I acquired ANOTHER - lossy and Ôlineage-freeÕ recording of the show - and my friend ZH kindly and seamlessly patched the gap using that other tape. The other stumble is the unavoidable flip tape - it happens to be in the middle of KnockinÕ On Joe - canÕt patch that one since those other folks were flipping their tape at the same time Lol
With respect to the quality, from my description, you can gather this is not your Ôrefined listening experienceÕ - you kinda feel like you are in the midst of it all. ItÕs pretty mad :) Some guy whistles a lot (and I removed quite a bit of his whistling), there are screams and cheers and occasional sing/scream-alongs (removed some of those too!) and itÕs loud and unruly :) I am happy Ana transferred the tape because I think it may begin to deteriorate soon. But this is an amazing relic - so Nick collectors are probably going to be quite happy to have this!
Enjoy - happy anniversary!

I'd like to begin by thanking j-blokhed for this recording. Here is an amazing Clash show from late '78. This was a great period for the band who are in fine form and are complemented here by an excellent soundboard source. I decided to remaster this recording since I liked the performance so much and wanted to hear it in as high quality as possible. For the remastering, I applied virtually the same edits to all tracks. A couple of tracks were slightly different in frequency response and were adjusted accordingly. There were also a couple of drop-outs which I corrected as good as possible. No noise reduction of any kind has been used here. A low amount of hiss is present after equalizing but not enough to be a distraction or even heard at most levels. The equalization used is light in general as the recording only needed a cut in a few resonating frequencies and a slight boost in some higher frequencies. I hope you like what I've done and consider this an improvement over the original source. Enjoy!

Big thanks to j-blokhed for the source of this recording!
THE CLASH - 28 December, 1978
The Lyceum, London
Here's another SBD - and one of my favorites. The Clash played three shows around New Year's 1979 that were recorded for possible use in the film Rude Boy. The dates were Dec 28-89, 1978, and Jan 3, 1979.
The first of these shows to fall into collector's hands was a very good audience recording released first on LP, and then on CD, as "Sort It Out". This is NOT that show. The exact dates of these recordings has been in question, but I believe that "Sort It Out" (also released as "USA 1979" [sic] as well as other, later, titles) is in fact Jan 3, 1979. I think that this recording is Dec 28, 1978.
This tape fell into my hands indirectly from an inside source (KV), and was probably 2nd-3rd gen when recorded to CD-R. It has since spread throughout collector's circles, and the artwork included here is strictly homemade "fan club".
This is one of the very best - enjoy!

Very good soundboard recordings. Thanks to Noem for sharing on Dime.
Original Info Files:
Unknown Tape - TDK SA90 - TEAC V-337 tape deck - Adobe Audition 1.5 - TLR - you
Where I got this tape I can't really remember, possibly from a casual acquaintence at the time, just a kid really but someone who got me into Big Black, Butthole Surfers, The Shop Assistants and the 13th Floor Elevators. I suspect he lent me his C90 and I made what might be a 1st generation copy which is what I have digitised now. Anyway, this is a very good soundboard recording and so far as I
can tell not taken from the video of the gig which is currently on YouTube. Before the gig, there was a minute or so of chat from a local radio show (probably a Liverpool station) between a couple of chaps who had been to the show and describe the ceiling bending beneath the first floor room
where the bands played. Support was provided by Dinosaur Jr and Band of Susans. So far as I can tell, this has never been officially made available - any further information on the set list or other detail gratefully received.

Obama 'would enjoy having some Kentucky bourbon' with McConnell
A day after voters rejected Democrats in midterm elections, President Obama acknowledged Wednesday that Republicans "had a good night." But the president was unbowed in his policies, pledging to forge ahead on immigration reform if Congress won't act and drawing red lines around the Affordable Care Act.
RELATED: Left fails to match GOP's roster of stars
But the president did reach across the aisle to Republicans, who took control of Congress Tuesday. He offered to have a drink with Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, who secured re-election Tuesday and is likely to become majority leader, and said he would let House Speaker John Boehner "beat me again at golf."
But Obama also reiterated his pledge to take executive action on immigration reform by the end of the year – a political flash point for many Republicans who have accused the president of wanting to grant amnesty to people living in the country illegally. "We're going to take whatever lawful actions we can take that I believe will improve the functions of our immigration system," Obama said. McConnell said at a press conference earlier Wednesday that it would be a "big mistake" for Obama to act alone, setting up immigration as a political flash point, with many republicans accusing the president of wanting to grant amnesty to people living in the country illegally.
The president deflected numerous questions from White House reporters about whether the setbacks Democrats suffered Tuesday would trigger changes in his policies, his negotiating tactics or his leadership team.
Obama, who is heading to Asia next week before the lame-duck Congress returns from recess on Nov. 12, said there were three things he wanted Congress to move quickly on. He called for funding for doctors and the military to fight Ebola; authorization for more military force to confront the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria; and he called upon the Congress to pass a budget in a "bipartisan, drama-free way."
The president said he believes Congress should provide new authorization for the U.S. to go after Islamic militants. The Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists, which was put into place after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, needs to be updated to address the "different type of enemy" the U.S. is currently going after, Obama said.
Obama also gave an update on nuclear negations with Iran, saying U.S. officials will know within the next three to four weeks whether a deal can be secured to halt the country's nuclear program.
Republicans picked up at least seven Senate seats Tuesday, one more than the party needed to take control of the upper chamber of Congress. The GOP's gains have fueled speculation that Republicans would renew their quest to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, the president's signature legislative agreement. Senate Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell at an earlier news conference Wednesday stopped short of endorsing a full repeal of the law, but said some aspects of the law would come under review in the new Republican Senate, including the so-called "individual mandate" requiring every American to obtain coverage.
RELATED: McConnell urges compromise amid divided government
Obama said at the White House that getting rid of the individual mandate "is a line I can't cross." Without the individual mandate, Obama said, consumers might be tempted to "game the system" and buy insurance only when ill – which would cause the system to collapse.
With another period of open enrollment set for later in the month, the president vowed that healthcare.gov would work "super well" – a nod to last year's disastrous rollout of the federal health exchange.
"The American people should be very concerned that their president didn't get the message of yesterday's election," Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement after the president's press conference. "I hope that's not the case, but today, in word and tone he refused to take responsibility or even express humility. He seemed to suggest the only ideas he's willing to listen to are his own, old, failed ones."

- Title: LSB Image Steganography
- Title: Address Book
- Title: MP3 Tag Reader
- Title: Lexical Analyser
- Title: Source to HTML
|Brief:Steganography is the art of hiding the fact that communication is taking place, by hiding information in other information. Many different carrier file formats can be used, but digital images are the most popular because of their frequency on the internet. For hiding secret information in images, there exists a large variety of steganography techniques some are more complex than others and all of them have respective strong and weak points. Different applications may require absolute invisibility of the secret information, while others require a large secret message to be hidden.
|Address Book is a small application written in C language. It keeps track of names and telephone/mobile numbers and e-mail addresses. It is a console based application which uses standard I/O for adding and deleting contact names, phone numbers and e-mail addresses, searching names and associated numbers and email addresses, updating numbers and email addresses, and deleting contacts
|Brief:In computer science, lexical analysis is the process of converting a sequence of characters
into a sequence of tokens. A program or function which performs lexical analysis is called a lexical analyzer, lexer, or scanner. A lexer often exists as a single function which is called by a parser or another function.

On the occasion of Eid Al Adha, Muslims should practise understanding, forgiveness and appreciation.
Many of us reading this now are living a comfortable life, even though everyone goes through challenges and obstacles, we are most likely in a better situation than many people around the world.
We should take the time on this holy occasion to exercise compassion for people suffering around the world from all races and religions.
In Islam, there is no discrimination between people, regardless of their race or social class. This can be seen in the glorious grouping of 2.5 million in Makkah every year for the Haj pilgrimage. Muslims from all walks of life and of every colour and creed stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder, to worship God.
The spectacle is a sight to behold.
Indeed it is one of the most unique pilgrimages in the world because of its sheer diversity of people.
This Eid there is much to celebrate but also we must not forget the sadness and despair others are going through.
The recent terrorist shootings in the US by white extremists killing innocents, the New Zealand mosque massacres earlier this year, the Daesh bombing of churches in Sri Lanka are to name a few of tragedies that have swept the world this year.
We should remember the victims of these tragedies while praying for the families to help cope and heal from their wounds.
The recent tension in Kashmir is a cause for concern as well, and we should pray for a peaceful resolution to the conflict through dialogue.
Any eruption of a greater conflict would be disastrous and our thoughts and prayers should be directed towards averting war.
Of course, the Middle East is no stranger to war.
The military conflicts in Syria, Yemen and Libya drag on with innocents dying every day.
Sadly, these victims rarely grab the headlines anymore, but the spilling of any civilian blood should not be taken lightly and must not be forgotten.
On a personal level, we should strive to be better, more compassionate human beings.
Haj is a time to cleanse one's bad deeds and start on a new page.
We can start by treating others kindly and exercising patience and understanding when dealing with other people.
Whether its road rage, a spat with a friend or colleague, or getting over a long-standing grudge against someone, we should try to be the bigger person.
We also could dedicate our free time to charitable causes and give some spare change to those we see in need.

It has been impossible to miss the surge in press coverage on teen vaping. And it is not only media wags who are sounding off. In an FDA press release in September, the word "epidemic" was used 10 times. This alarmist document was followed 2 months later by restrictive new FDA regulations on e-cigarettes.
Until the use of e-cigs by minors is resolved, it will continue to drive the narrative on vaping and keep e-cigarettes firmly in the crosshairs of regulators. Worse still, the recent spike in teen vaping has given anti-vapers additional leverage to promote punitive restrictions on e-cigarettes and juice flavors.
Fountain of Misinformation
Fountains of misinformation like Parents Against Vaping e-cigs (PAVe) have long relied zombie vaping myths to promote their radical agenda: a complete flavor ban and a total prohibition of online e-cig sales. Now they have additional ammunition in the form of electronic nicotine delivery systems that have ended up in the hands of children.
Their time tested "what about the children?" plea will eventually resonate with a critical mass of voters and politicians. Teen vaping needs to be addressed and their spurious arguments must be debunked at every turn.
To make matters worse, PAVe has used their wealth and connections in New York to obtain a level of press coverage that is quite disproportionate to their knowledge, credentials or actual influence. They have been provided column space in major newspapers for their poorly reasoned op-ed pieces, provided a platform by the national news media to spew their biased rhetoric and allowed to host workshops at schools where they share their special blend of misinformation and extremism. All of this for a group that boasts less than 500 page likes on Facebook and has fewer Instagram followers than my cat.
The FDA's own numbers show that the majority of minors obtain their e-cigs from social contacts of legal age, but PAVe has yet to push for punitive laws that incarcerate guilty parents, older siblings and friends of legal age. Instead, they are focused on killing a growing industry and cutting off adults from legal cigarette alternatives. Age verification is a serious issue but teen vaping needs to be addressed on the parental level as well.
A Science Based Approach
PAVe epitomizes a dark ages-style, anecdote driven approach to policy. Manipulating emotions is an effective form of persuasion but the FDA should be above this sort of sophistry. As a federal agency, they are motivated by political pressure but at least pay lip service to actual scientific analysis.
Run of the mill politicians pose a far graver threat. They are much more likely to make rash and ill-informed decisions based on their own passions, prejudices and pressure from wealthy influencers. This is how we ended up with a two bills that would result in vaping prohibition in California.
Why would a group of politicians show such little regard for smokers? Why are they willing to place barriers in the way of adults looking for alternatives to combustible cigarettes? Especially with the potential damage being so great. In his November press release, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb acknowledged the importance of balancing access for adults. This nuance is lost on rabid anti-vaping politicians.
Marginalized Populations and E-Cig Access
The well-being of marginalized populations is clearly of no concern to the California politicians who are fighting for e-cig prohibition and anti-vaping extremists like PAVe. The wealthy have largely given up smoking, but it remains prevalent among the less affluent, minorities and the LGBT community.
The results of this shift are starkly outlined in the CDC's study, "Cigarette Smoking and Tobacco Use Among People of Low Socioeconomic Status". Adults with less than a high school education succeed in quitting cigarettes only 43.5 percent of the time versus 73.9 percent for college graduates. Adults earning more than twice the poverty line are only half as likely to smoke as adults living below the poverty line.
The numbers make it clear that the system is failing less affluent smokers. Lung cancer rates are far higher in rural, and poor areas. A lack of access to health care is blamed, and there is no reason to compound the issue by denying them ash and smoke free cigarette alternatives.
The CDC also found that 20.3 percent of adults that identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual smoke cigarettes, versus an overall rate of 14 percent. They are also three times more likely to use electronic cigarettes: 7.5 percent versus 2.6 percent. This is the highest rate for any group surveyed.
Denying marginalized groups access to cigarette alternatives could potentially increase disparate health outcomes. At the very least, it is cruel and unconscionable impose policies that incentivize cigarette smoking over vaping. Expecting adults to totally abstain from legal nicotine is not a reasonable policy.
Public Health England- A Shining Beacon of Hope
Public Health England (PHE), an executive agency in the United Kingdom's Department of Health and Social Care, continues to promote e-cigs. They have found, "vaping poses only a small fraction of the risks of smoking and switching completely from smoking to vaping conveys substantial health benefits."
A common argument against e-cigarettes is that they are not useful for smoke cessation, and may serve as a "gateway drug". That is no typo. The old "gateway drug" myth has been dusted off and is being used in 2018.
The PHE disagrees. They found that, "e-cigarettes could be contributing to at least 20,000 successful new quits per year and possibly many more". They attribute the improved quit success rates they have encountered to e-cigs as well.
Not surprisingly, PHE found that the "gateway" myth, one of the central pillars of anti-vapers, has no validity:
"The evidence does not support the concern that e-cigarettes are a route into smoking among young people (youth smoking rates in the UK continue to decline, regular use is rare and is almost entirely confined to those who have smoked)."
PHE has no hidden agenda. They dictate government policy and have considerable skin in the game. Like the National Health Service (NHS), the PHE is part of a publicly funded system that relies on tax dollars to stay afloat. With healthcare costs continuing to increase and an aging population to worry about, the UK government shown itself to be ruthless when it comes to cutting measures that do not make financial sense. In 2017, the NHS pulled the plug on homeopathic and herbal treatments as a misuse of resources. Whatever your thoughts are on alternative medicine, this move makes it clear that the UK is not afraid to act if it means saving money.
The NHS pulled funding on natural medicine despite the objections of Prince Charles and a number of other influential parties. Vaping has only been around for about a decade. The industry lacks the support and traditions that surround alternative medicine. There is no question that the NHS and Public Health England would pull the plug on their endorsement of vaping if it was not an effective policy.
The fact is that the UK has outperformed other EU countries when it comes to smoking cessation and they credit their science based approach to e-cigarettes. They have argued that countless lives could be saved if other countries were willing to follow their lead.
Iowa Attorney General Continues to Fight for Smokers
On this side of the pond, Iowa is one of the bright spots for advocates of vaping. In his open letter to the FDA, Iowa Attorney General (AG) Thomas Miller voiced his concerns about reduced to access to electronic cigarettes. AG Miller has a long track record of fighting for smokers. He was at the forefront of lawsuits against big tobacco and made the tobacco companies pay the Iowa for the cost of filing a lawsuit against them.
Miller's compassionate and well-reasoned arguments stand in stark contrast to much of the coverage that vaping and electronic cigarettes have received in the last year. Miller argued,
"A half million annual American deaths from cigarette smoking are an immediate, stark, and preventable tragedy that should be fully factored in to a rational risk-benefit analysis."
Youth Smoking Trends
There has been an increase in teen vaping, but it is worth noting that high risk behaviors among high school students have declined tremendously over the past couple of decades. The declines in risky sexual behaviors, drinking, drug use and drunk driving are impressive, but the decline in smoking has been especially steep. Data from the Department of Health and Human Services illustrates this point. Nearly a quarter of 12th graders smoked daily in 1997. That number was halved a decade later to 12.3 percent and by 2015 that number was down to just 5.5 percent.
Unfortunately, between 2011 and 2018 there has been a corresponding increase in the use of electronic cigarettes. This has set off red flags at the FDA and they are justifiably concerned about the dangers posed by nicotine on the developing brain. Citing 2011 FDA data that showed only 1.5 percent of 12th graders used e-cigs and contrasting it with 2018 totals is a ridiculous apples and oranges comparison. But the year over year increase between 2017 and 2018 is a decidedly negative trend. If it isn't reversed the FDA has threatened to regulate the vaping industry even more heavily.
The Not as Bad as Fallacy
It is easy to parse the CDC's High School Youth Risk Behavior Survey and pinpoint a number of common activities that are far more detrimental than vaping. From binge drinking to bringing weapons to school, there are plenty of issues that deserve attention.
But relying on this argument is destined to fail. As persuasive as these statistics may seem to an unbiased observer, there are anti-vapers who will never be convinced that e-cigs have any value. Throwing vaping into the same category as drunk driving, binge drinking and LSD actually helps make their case for them.
If we hope to fend off these zealots, we will need to blunt their attacks by seizing the moral high ground. Addressing the issue of minors using e-cigs will defang their arguments and remove the primary pain point that is being used to rally opposition to e-cigarettes. The vaping industry must do our utmost to keep nicotine products out of the hands of minors. This includes educating our adult customers about the problems caused when legally purchased products are diverted to minors.
Minors Not Welcome At Vapor4Life
Vapor4Life, and the overwhelming majority of businesses in the e-cig industry, have no interest in selling to minors and have taken strong steps to cut off supply. We exist to provide adult smokers with an enjoyable cigarette alternative that is free from tar, ash and smoke. As a result, we make a point of performing our due diligence and then some.
In order to keep our products out the hands of children we rely on Veratad, the industry leader in age verification technology. This is the same system that is used by the largest companies selling age restricted products online including vaping supplies, ejuice, alcohol and sports betting. Rather just a meaningless check box, this system compares purchaser data against multiple trusted data sources.
In addition, all of our sales and customer service team members have completed We Card training. We Card is the industry leading standard for in-store age confirmation. In fact, we exceed the local legal requirement and card all customers regardless of age at our Northbrook Vape Shop.

Crisply textured in Egyptian temple style, this is a straight forward CTF map which also comes in DM, Q3A TA One Flag and Overload flavours. There are three ways into each base, all of which are easily defended, and the flags (in vanilla CTF) sit in a niche in the wall, making captures fairly challenging. All the weapons bar the BFG are represented, ammo is scarce and a MH in the central atrium requires some air control to reach, adding to the fun. There are no powerups (too small, really). Weapon layout is good, but the placing of both YAs on the same side means one player can scoop them up one after the other when assaulting the enemy base, which is a flaw. The only other drawback is the length of the RG passage alongside the central atrium; it's possible to shoot from one end of the map to the other here, making defending somewhat easy on this side. Bots play well. 3v3 is the maximum I'd recommend; any more and everyone gets in everyone else's way and you end up just holding down the space bar (or whatever key you use to fire).
A small download too, and well worth it.

English is a west Germanic language spoken as an official language in a number of countries. Its importance during period was little, with Latin and French being the major languages used for politics and science. As many as half the words in modern English come from Latin (some via Greek) and a great many French words were introduced as a result of the Norman invasion of England during 1066. The combination of Latin, French and Germanic words has lead to a total vocabulary much larger than most other languages and with many words there exists an overlap (e.g. "start" from German and "commence" from French).
It is easy for speakers of Modern English to read text that was produced in the years after around 1400 AD but earlier English is almost unintelligible. The article on Old English provides good examples of this)

And now, the rant....
Yes, I enjoy running.
Yes, I enjoy marathons.
NO, it's NOT bad for my joints.
When trained properly, and when trained in a natural running form, running may actually be good for your joints. More on that later.
There. I feel better.
I've got to get miles on my favorite part of the trail while I can. Soon enough gun deer season starts--not a good time to be running with a yellow lab. Then the snow begins to fall, and while I don't mind running in a bit of snow (it softens the aforementioned rocks and roots), it really isn't all that much fun for more than 5 miles in my opinion. That's what snowshoes are for.
I left from the Parnell Tower with Bonnie and wanted to make it to Butler Lake before turning around. Again, I can't state how beautiful this trail is. Within the first 1/2 mile of the trail, Bonnie (who probably ran 3 times as far as I did by weaving back and forth chasing anything in the woods that moved) stirred up two bucks, who seemed to be as confused by her as she was by them. Ellie's parents' older dog, Cork, who is a bit too old for the Ice Age Trail and much prefers naps, would have chased those deer straight across the county. Bonnie, on the other hand, came sprinting back to me after seeing their white tails scampering away from her. She was as afraid as they were. It was hilarious. Some hunter.
We continued on and finally reached the valley that leads to Butler Lake in about 40 minutes. After that much time watching every single foot placement on the trail, it's nice to see the trail open up into a valley where the lake resides. As usual, pictures don't do it justice (especially when taken with a phone), but I tried.
Bonnie: "Put the damn camera away and lets go!"
When I reached the Butler Lake parking lot, I headed straight for the well to re-fill my water bottle. Before filling my water bottle, though, I took care of my running partner:
Bonnie, laying down in the puddle of water from the well, lapping it up. (And look at your multi-tasking author's shadow, as he pumps and takes a picture simultaneously! While I'm no Steve Stenzel, I love this picture ;) )
Also in the parking lot was another dog and his buddy, a man who's name I didn't catch. He was working on the Butler Lake Loop in preparations for the upcoming cross-country ski season. I happened to be wearing an NF Endurance Team shirt, so he quickly added two and two and said,
"You know your body's not made for that s**t, right?"
I chuckled (which is what I seem to do when someone or something slightly gets me off balance a bit) and mentioned there's been plenty of research done, especially in the past 5 years, on endurance running and its positive effects on the human body.
I wasn't changing his mind, though. He is a biker and a skier, and he avoids the POUNDING and ARTHRITIS-INDUCING sport of running. Agree to disagree, I guess.
An IAT Blazer...Just follow the Yellow Rectangles
First off, I'd like to suggest a book to you. Why We Run, by Bernd Heinrich is a must-read book for anyone interested in Mother Nature's approach to endurance. Bernd happened to be a decent runner and uses this book to both explain Nature's amazing endurance "athletes," explain why humans are actually designed for distance, and also take you along as he trained for a 100k American Record run in Chicago in 1981.
[Disclaimer: This book gets really dry at points. Use it to fall asleep at night, or skip to the parts about running, which are actually really interesting. He used Cranberry Juice, of all things, as his only nutritional supplement on his runs. The last time I used cranberry juice for anything, I wasn't running...]
- This Study (Jul 1990) found no difference in arthritis between former elite long-distance runners and non-runners.
- This Study (Jan 1994) says there's only a slight increase in risk of arthritis-related hospital visits among ex-elite athletes and the common population.
- This Study (Aug 2008) would agree...there's on difference in runners and non-runners.
- This Study (Jun 2006) says it may even be preventative.
There. That should keep you busy for a while. There will be a quiz next week.

Why Did Steve Jobs Reject His Arab Father?
Yesterday I heard Walter Isaacson talking about his biography of the last Steve Jobs on Terry Gross's NPR show Fresh Air.
The story of Jobs's parenthood is amazing. He was given up for adoption by his American mother, Joanne Schieble, and his Syrian-American father, Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, born in Homs. He was raised by Paul and Clara Jobs in Mountain View, California.
In his 20s, Jobs sought to find his biological parents. By reaching out to the doctor listed on his birth certificate, he was able to find Schieble. And Schieble introduced him to his sister, Mona Simpson, the novelist.
Walter Isaacson said that Jobs was pleased to discover that his sister was a great artist. Simpson told Jobs who his father was, and Jobs realized that he had met Jandali. Because Jandali ran a restaurant in Silicon Valley.
Says this account online:
"When I was looking for my biological mother, obviously I was looking for my biological father at the same time. I learned a little bit about him, and I didn't like what I learned," he told Walter Isaacson.
Jobs decided he did not want to see his father again. On the radio yesterday, Isaacson said that Jobs described Jandali as fat and balding. Terry Gross did not press the point: Why was Jobs averse to meeting his father?
No doubt Steve Jobs was an aesthetic monster. That taste/perfectionism/snobbery guided his achievement.
But I have to wonder whether he did not also share the conventional social prejudice against Arab-Americans, even in our "high" culture, the attitude reflected by novelist Erica Jong, who once titled a chapter of a book, Arabs and Other Animals. I hope that Mona Simpson, who shares Jobs's Arab-American background, will write about this issue some day.
P.S. Jobs's adoptive mother was an Armenian-American.

markjuliansmith is right. Plus, I object to the title of this, somewhat biased, report.
The man was not his 'father', Mr. Jobs was his father. This man was – at best – a progenitor. Ah, but now the famous, and rich, son has died, so he pretends to be all upset. People are sorry for him, he lost his son. What rubbish, the man dumped him and never even showed his face until he thought it might benefit him.
Millions of people are adopted, some take the trouble to check on their biological parents, some don't. Some people are thinking of having a family and wish to know of any genetic hazards – others do not consider it necessary.
Calling this man Steven Jobs father is an insult to the people who cared for him, loved him and gave him a good start in life.
Enough already!
the conventional social prejudice against Arab-Americans – ever crossed your mind he simply did not appreciate being dumped? That he simply did not like what he saw. And even if it was the nature which Islam informs ie Other are deaf, dumb and blind evil and diseased is it not a natural response?
If I came into the home of a person who had Mein Kampf on the table I would react the same way because it might come as a shock but exactly the same construct of Other is contained therein see Quran Chapter "THE COW" – and please note there were moderate liberal Nazi.
By the way Goebbels also said we will not do anything to the Jews their own nature will determine that 'grievous harm' will happen to them – sound familiar.
Where do you think Islamic Terror comes from – thin air?
Cant believe you are making up this story. Steve jobs did not say he was fat. He said he was bold to describe this person. Also he said he did not like him because he abondand his sister mona Simpson. Check the facts. Mr jandali left mona when she was 5 and she found him when she was in her twenties. She even changed her name from jandali to simpson taking her step father's name.
