Sea of Stars #1
Jason Aaron , Dennis Hallum (w), Stephen Green (a), Rico Renzi (c)
Image Comics
Mattia says: Gil, a cargo transporter worker and his young son Kadyn are navigating with their important shipment to the next destination. Kadyn is bored, space can be god damn dull, just a long vast nothingness. Their cargo seems to be an old collection of antique fossil. Something huge from the long-range scanners has been detected. It's moving fast towards them. What is it?!
I'll leave you with that. Find it out! You're in for a treat with the new series by Jason Aaron, synonymous of quality when it comes to writing comics; and Dennis Hallum, already at ease with space atmosphere from the good minis, Vader: Dark Visions; all supported by the excellent art by Stephen Green and the colours of Rico Renzi.
Monsters, weird creatures and a sprinkle of superpowers are waiting for you.
Game of Thrones: The Storyboards
William Simpson (a)
Harper Voyager
Karl says: This 300 plus page epic tome is a real joy to behold. Whether or not you have seen the "Greatest TV series ever made (TM)" or not, the work that goes in to visualising such an endeavour is truly impressive.
Comics and storyboard maestro Will Simpson performed this Herculean task on Game of Thrones, and collected here is over a decade of awesome work from him. Key scenes are focused upon and each episode is peppered with dialogue from the script. Intriguing touches include camera tracking guides and arrows indicating the direction of the action.
In a few weeks we are very lucky to have Will Simpson here at Orbital. As well as an Exhibition in the Gallery from the 19th of July, he will be signing during the afternoon of Saturday the 20th, followed by a talk and a storyboarding masterclass in the evening. Tickets will be limited, and are available here.
Space Bandits #1
Mark Millar (w), Matteo Scalera (a)
Image Comics
Chief says: Nostalgia's a funny thing. When people look back, it's either with a sense of cringing embarrassment at the state of themselves (especially when it comes to their clothes and hair) or with revelment in the pop artefacts of the time (Walkmans??). They never want to actually look at how good or bad a time really was.
I mention this because Mark Millar's latest is a book that revels in the past. Taking the idea that there's a cultural delay in space of around a decade, meaning the 80's didn't reach space until the 90's. So we join the action aboard The Lionel Richie, a luxury space cruiser, full of the ageing 1%. These are of course robbed by the titular space bandits, led by Cody Blue. She's a woman on the make, whose hired the toughest badasses in the galaxy, with plans to retire on twenty million each. Best laid plans and all that, Cody is betrayed and shot by her team.
The story jumps and we end up in the Molly Ringwald system (unfashionable, apparently) where we meet a couple, also on the grift. The female half of this couple is wanted and the bounty on her head keeps going up and up. So her beau makes a swift profit on turning her in then helping her escape. Only once they hit that one last job (always the problem child of the litter in these things) he doesn't help her escape. She's sentenced to very hard time on 'The Crustacean', an intergalactic giant lobster now serving as a prison planet.
It's all a batshit mix of everything that's gone before, not unlike the times we're living in, but Millar makes it fun. The book has a refreshing energetic drive and pop-sensibility that makes it easy to identify with it's leads, who are criminals and probably undeserving of your sympathy but are likely to get it anyway, which is definitely one of Millar's strengths. Scalera's art is supremely pleasing, balancing fantastical sci-pop elements without lingering on them and therefore making the whole thing alien and odd. Like Sharkey the Bounty Hunter, the key is the humanisation of the weird, which is why, I suspect, the 80's were picked as the influencing time-period. Points for having one of the characters look like a cross between Michael Jackson and Gregory Hines in running Scared, too. I'll be back for seconds.

The Race
The Race to Alaska is a novel nautical challenge: voyage under sail and human power from Port Townsend, WA, to Ketchikan, AK. You can't have any type of motor aboard and there are required stops in Victoria, Seymour Narrows, and Bella Bella, BC.
While the total distance will depend on the (many) navigational choices one could make, the route is approximately 1200 kilometers long (~750 miles). If you can maintain an average speed of 5 km/hr (2.7 knots), it will take you 10 days.
The R2AK was first run in 2015 when Matt helped Team Sea Runners and Team Puffin engineer and test their pedal drives. This year (2016) the only change in the Race is that it starts about 2 weeks later in June.
The qualifier (Port Townsend to Victoria) will begin at 5 a.m. on Thursday, June 23, 2016. The full race begins at noon on Sunday, June 26, 2016. The first team to Ketchikan gets $10,000. The 2nd gets a set of steak knives.
During the race you should be able to follow the action using either the official R2AK tracking page (aggregating locations from the SPOT transceivers carried by each boat).

Achilles injury may rule John Terry out of Tottenham game
Chelsea's preparations for tomorrow's London derby against Tottenham Hotspur were hindered further yesterday when John Terry was unable to train because of an Achilles injury.
The captain broke down clutching his right foot in an open session at Stamford Bridge on Monday, but the club had expressed confidence that he would be fit for the match between the Barclays Premier League title contenders at White Hart Lane.
Terry was assessed by Chelsea's medical staff at the club's Cobham training ground yesterday and it was decided that he was not yet ready to return. Instead, the 31-year-old undertook a light session on his own in the gym.
Terry's condition will be examined again today in the hope of getting him on to the pitch for at

Because of the glitch, that humble car wrench is now so big it could wrench the whole goddamn car. Why? For some reason, the game gets confused whenever a flare is briefly flying around, and when you then pick up a weapon, it dumbly recalculates the height of the weapon to be the same height that the flare was fired at, making weapons like the 2x4 and the hand ax so massive that their names sound like they're supposed to be ironic.
Gun Media
But while the weapons sure looked a lot more intimidating, it's not as if they did any more damage to the unkillable Jason. What did change, however, was their reach, meaning those scared teens could hit their implacable stalker from ridiculously far away. And if you've ever seen a Friday The 13th movie, you know that Jason thinks he's too cool to run. So while he was slowly lumbering toward his victims, those victims could cave his head in with a 40-foot ax long before he could get into stabbing range.

As a contractor, you can operate either through your own limited company or under a PAYE umbrella company. Both options offer many pros and cons, depending on your personal circumstances. As an independent professional, it's important that you're continually assessing the options to find what best suits you. If you find yourself working inside IR35, for example, you might be wondering which structure option would make the most financial sense for you.
Here's why operating through your own limited company remains the best option, regardless of your IR35 status.
Limited Company or Umbrella Company – what's the difference?
Limited companies
With a limited company, you are the director of your own private business. You have complete autonomy of how you work and who you work with. As a director, you are fully in control of your own company and its financial affairs – this allows for greater opportunities for tax planning including drawing dividends, claiming expenses and making pension contributions. The downside? While you have all the pros of being a director, you also have the additional responsibilities to HMRC and Companies House; which of course includes paperwork and financial management. This problem is easily solved by appointing a specialist contractor accountant – which typically costs a set monthly fee equating to around £1200 a year.
'The majority of contractors work through their own limited companies for a reason. The tax advantages of working this way outweigh any other compliant method and you remain in control of your own finances. Umbrella companies offer higher risk and lower tax efficiency than limited company operation.'
– Rowena Barnwell, FCCA – inniAccounts Director of Client Services
Umbrella companies
When you join an umbrella company, you effectively become an employee of that corporation. You'll receive a salary that has been subject to PAYE tax and National Insurance. The fact your payments are being handled by a second party introduces a level of risk; as you are reliant on the umbrella collecting money from your client or agent and using it to pay you.
Most reputable umbrella companies cost around £30 a week (£1,500 annually). However, there are usually additional costs associated. Services levied by umbrella companies can reach as much as 9% of the value of a contract. Many firms insist on contractors agreeing to a minimum level of charging or billable time; so the price can fluctuate (unlike accountancy fees which use set prices regardless of turnover). The benefits? Your financial affairs are handled by the umbrella; so there's less admin, paperwork and financial management. Most weeks you'll merely be submitting a timesheet, and the company will take care of the rest.
Working inside IR35
If any of your contracts fall within the off-payroll rules, you've probably heard that you might be better off under an umbrella. This is because IR35 doesn't impact umbrella companies. Contractors in umbrellas will already have PAYE tax, and National Insurance deducted from their salaries; as if they were a standard employee, so there's no additional requirement. However, this leaves many contractors out of pocket.
If your contracts are not permanently inside IR35, a limited company outweighs the benefits of an umbrella. As well as remaining more tax-efficient, a limited company allows you to keep risk-free control over your business and to flexibly accept contracts both outside or inside IR35. Converting to an umbrella company would mean that any future work you undertake that's outside of IR35 would leave you significantly out of pocket. The fairly negligible percentage difference even for those who predominantly work inside IR35 may also not be worth the higher risk associated with umbrellas, the admin fees or losing out on many of the attractive incentives a limited company still offers (such as being in complete control of your working hours and the available tax planning opportunities).
Ensuring compliance
If you do decide to make the change to an umbrella company, we'd advise doing your homework to ensure they're compliant. Some umbrella schemes promise unrealistic tax savings. Remember – if it appears too good to be true, it probably is!
Operating through a limited company
While umbrella companies remove any question of IR35, for many contractors, they can't compare to having your own limited company. Limited companies remain the most viable option for keeping control of your day to day business, managing your finances and returning home with more in your pocket. The tax advantages of working this way continue to outweigh any other method.

Today I went to the Book Store Downtown Rivne, my home city. Yes, I love the book stores. By the way, it would be great to open an Indigo and Starbucks in Rivne =). So, I looked around. Tell the truth, I don't like the way how it looks like. Some really good one books are hidden on the back. It looks like in the Soviet Union. It doesn't inspire to buy and read a book… I'm glad that local authors are doing research and writing about history of our region, music, wonderful people, etc. As I know so far, many authors need to spend their own money to publish a book. Even though they are doing this for Ukraine, they can not get a sponsorship from a government. I truly believe that it would be changed one day.
I was away for a year and I didn't see yet the books published in our Publishing House 'FORMAT-A' (my father's Mykola Diatlyk firm). I took a beautiful book from a book shelf. And YES, it was published in 'Format-A'. Then I decided to test myself: I took all books, I thought it made in our Publishing House and checked it out. And I was 100% right. It's GREAT!!! I love our Publishing House 'Format-A'! It's been always one of the best and well known Publishing House for a high quality of manufacturing books. And still during this past year they improved a lot. I'm HAPPY to be part of our family business and by this to make something great for our beautiful country Ukraine! =).

When life throws you a curveball, your finances could take a hit. Unexpected changes such as a sudden job loss or illness can mean that your household has to go from being a two income family to a single income family. This can put a strain on your family's finances and cause plenty of stress, but these tips will help make the transition from a two income family to a single income family a little less stressful.
Have a savings safety net in place
Having money in your savings account can make you feel more secure at all times, not just if you lose one family member's income. Unexpected emergencies could pop up at any time, so if you lose your job, a savings safety net could be a real lifesaver. Try to keep enough money to cover at least three months' worth of living expenses in your savings account at all times.
Create a household budget
Even if you have two incomes, a budget is an important tool. If you create a budget that allows you to see exactly what your living expenses are, you can tighten up on wasteful spending and put more money into your savings account. If you are constantly short of money, a budget can help you prioritize your spending so you can make your money go further.
Clear your credit card debt
Credit card debt can hurt your finances if it's not paid off in full every month. Don't fall into the trap of using credit cards to replace lost income. You won't have the money to pay the cards off in full each month and you'll accrue excessive amounts of interest.
Living below your means will allow you to build up your savings so that if you do lose one or more sources of income you'll still be able to live comfortably and pay your bills.

After starting in Los Angeles, California we then expanded Smart Self Storage into the Sacramento area, which made perfect sense as our business partners have lived in Sacramento all their lives. With Sacramento being embodied by the Smart Self Storage team, we are proud to have our four facilities in the greater Sacramento area, including: Green Valley Road Self Storage, Harbour Point Self Storage, West Sacramento Self Storage, and Roseville Self Storage. We are also in the process of adding to our facilities with a fifth in Rocklin, California, not far from our brand-new Roseville Self Storage site! In fact, did you see our infographic about the Top Things We Love To Do in Roseville, CA? (It's located at the bottom of our Roseville Self Storage homepage.)
Our roots are in California and we love our customers. Ensuring that we support the needs of Sacramento is important to us. Today's post highlights some of the fun reasons we love Sacramento so incredibly much.
10 Fun Reasons We Love Sacramento (and you should too)
1. The Weather
It's the perfect combination of Mediterranean climate with low humidity, which means for most of the year it is warm and comfortable. Although there are some real scorchers in July or August, which is the height of summer, the weather is beautiful virtually year-round which means everything looks warm and radiant, very little winter blues here.
2. More Spending Money
The cost of living in Sacramento is lower compared to other Californian cities because it is only 5% higher than national average (unlike cities like LA where you are looking at 21.5% higher than the national average). This means you get the benefits of living in California without the extra cost, and you are still in an area with reasonable income rates meaning you will have plenty left over for the more important things in life.
3. Hiker's Paradise
Whether you're a hiker, walker, or skier (or maybe water sports are more your thing), there is an abundance of nature to utilize for the outdoorsy types in Sacramento. This is because there are large amounts of fresh water lakes and rivers as well as mountains and plenty of trails to explore. One of our favorites is the American River Parkway which caters to a variety of activities including rafting, boating, fishing, walking, or hiking and has plenty of surrounding park areas for families or quiet time alike.
4. Historical Gems
As the capital of California, Sacramento has a rich culture and heritage that you can explore and visit. From museums and historic buildings, you can't help but get caught up in the back story of the city. Some interesting places to note and visit include: Sutter's Fort in Midtown, California Automobile Museum, California State Railroad Museum (home of the Polar Express) and California's State Capitol Museum.
5. Central Hub
One of the joys of Sacramento is that it puts you in the middle of everything you might want to escape to or visit for a break or getaway. It makes a variety of stunning places easier to visit and accessible, for example it is close to the ocean if you want to take a trip to the beach but also close to the mountains for a retreat to wine country. Sacramento has become the central hub to be in if you like taking mini breaks or traveling, and with so many beautiful places to visit you'll wonder why you didn't move there sooner.
6. Rich Art & Culture
Sacramento is incredibly rich and culturally diverse with a wide array of experiences to discover that hosts plenty of cultural events throughout the year. From Chinese New Year to Cinco de Mayo celebrations and festivities are the frequent atmosphere. That doesn't mean that there aren't things to see day-to-day, for example the Crocker Art Museum boasts an impressive display of long-standing pieces that date back to the Gold Rush and beyond as well as having premium Californian collections on display.
7. Kids Activities
For families and those with children, Sacramento offers plenty of attractions to keep them entertained in the off-time, and a particular favorite is Fairytale Town (and yes, it's as magical as it sounds). It's excellent for the creativity and imagination of children for active play but avoids the traditional tacky or cheesy elements! Plus, you've also got the zoo and mini roller coaster park to appease them as well. (At Roseville Self Storage, we love to help growing families with the extra storage space they need so much. If you have a growing family, don't hesitate to reach out and see how we can help with your storage needs or just general questions about the area.)
8. Fresh Produce
Health enthusiasts will be pleased to know that because Sacramento is excellent for growing food and produce there is a fantastic food scene and healthy environment. You can source direct from the farmer's market or take advantage of the multiple food and agricultural festivals, many of which focus on a single produce at fantastic rates and prices.
9. Park Life
The Sacramento park network is fantastic and many of their parks take things up a notch with over 222 in the city you are bound to stumble across these hidden gems. From the central Discovery Park which is around 300 acres to the smaller McKinley Park with 30 acres there is always a place to house your picnic or day out. Many of these also have sports courts (tennis, volleyball etc.) as well as swimming pools, plus there are several parks that are incredibly dog friendly including the North Natomas or Granite Regional Parks.
10. Drive-In Movies
This fantastic, vintage experience is one that everyone should try, and Sacramento has one of the largest chains of drive-in theaters in the country, which makes summer nights extra special. It's perfect for taking out the whole family and can be a budget-friendly activity that all ages can enjoy, plus the venues usually have places to run around and have fun too.
Sacramento has so much to offer from its up and coming neighborhoods to its happy lifestyle and the people that live here. These are just a few of the many reasons that we feel like Sacramento is our home away from home and why we will aim to serve the Sacramento community as best we can.

Additional Notes:
Rupununi Experience Extension to Caiman House and Maipaima Eco-Lodge
Day 1 - Boat to Yupukari Village.This extension takes over on Day 7 of the standard Rupununi Experience itinerary. This morning travel out onto the savannah to search for a Giant Anteater. After breakfast, guests who are not extending their tour will return to Georgetown while we look for wildlife along the Rupununi River as we travel by boat to the Amerindian village of Yupukari and Caiman House. Caiman House is the hub of several participatory development projects, including the introduction of classroom libraries in all three village schools and an internet-enabled public library. Visitors may have the opportunity to meet local craftspeople, including the furniture builders at Yupukari Crafters, a nonprofit venture to create village jobs and generate income to sustain educational development. Tonight enjoy a foray on the Rupununi River from Caiman House Field Station. As a guest you have the unique opportunity to support and participate in an ongoing field study of the Black Caiman (melanosuchus niger), the largest member of the alligator family and an endangered species. Guests will observe the capture from a separate boat, but will be offered the opportunity to assist in data collection. Caiman are weighed, measured, sexed and tagged before being released back into the river. The research has already discovered interesting information on caimans' nests that was previously unknown. During periods of high water it is difficult to capture Caiman to you will have another chance to enter the nocturnal world of the Rupununi River and associated gallery forests which offer an experience, and world of wildlife entirely different than those viewed on a day trip. Skilled guides will expertly escort visitors to meet elusive denizens of darkness by outboard powered boats, while interpreting the sights, and sounds of Guyana after dark. Just after darkness settles on the River many creatures emerge such as black caiman (to over 12 feet), spectacled caiman, tree boas, iguanas, frogs, and many fish species( i.e arrawana, piranha). Sleeping birds (kingfishers, small perching birds) nightjars, potoos, Boat-billed Herons and other aquatic birds, bats, (harmless) spiders, insects, moths, and more can be closely approached in way not possible during the hours of light. Less likely, but not rare inclusions for night viewing include possums, tree dwelling rodents, capybara and sleeping monkeys (esp. squirrel monkeys) amongst other mammals. Few nights pass without some unusual offering. (B,L,D)
Overnight at Caiman House & Research Center
Day 2 - 4x4 journey to Nappi VillageThis morning we will have some time to visit the village, to learn about their way of life. Or go birdwatching in search of the many good savannah, gallery forest and river-edge birds found in the Caiman House area including Pinnated Bittern, Green-tailed Jacamar, Black-chinned Antbird and Capuchinbird. Pickup and transfer by 4x4 for journey across the savannah to the Amerindian village of Nappi. Upon arrival meet a member of the village council and a brief orientation of the village before continuing to the Maipaima Eco Lodge. Travel from the savannah into the rainforest to Maipaima Eco Lodge which is nestled in the rainforest covered Kanuku Mountains in the south central Rupununi district of Guyana. Once at Maipaima Eco Lodge enjoy a cold drink and relax in a hammock. Owned, operated and hand built by the Macushi Amerindians of the Nappi Village Eco Tourism group, the lodge itself was constructed through the dedicated efforts of former Guyana Parliamentarian Shirley Melville and funding by Foster Parrots. The lodge is named after the Maipaima Creek which runs past the property. Simple wooden cabins with ensuite bathrooms are linked by a raised wooden walkway to the main dining and communal area. Nappi is famous for its Balata figurines and this afternoon you can learn about how Balata is harvested, see how the figurines are made and even try and make your own. At dusk the bush comes alive and in the clearing of the lodge you have the ability to see 360 degrees to view wildlife and birdlife. (B,L,D)
Overnight at Maipaima Eco-Lodge
Day 3 - Hike to Jordon FallsAt dawn you can bird from the clearing or venture along well maintained trails. Breakfast is served on the open veranda as Macaws fly by and the Red Howler Monkeys control the heights. From the lodge we set out on a trail observing wildlife as our guide takes us through the rainforest on our way to the Jordon Fall. After 1500 metres we divert off the main trail for a chance to look for the Guianian Cock-of-Rock. Close by is Bat Cave, where you can observe hundreds of bats as they roost, clinging to the cave ceiling. At about 2000M we encounter the steepest climb on the trek as we ascend the Kanuku Mountains. Near the top there is a break in the trees for a lovely view across the rainforest to the savannah. The trail then winds its way up and down small peaks. The forest here is pristine with plenty of wildlife. Hard to see species include Jaguar, Ocelot and Tapir. There is a chance to see Harpy Eagle as they nest in this area. More easily seen are Spider, Red Howler, Squirrel and Capuchin Monkeys. We stop at a small creek where you'll have a chance to rest and take lunch before continuing the arduous walk to the fall. The hike is likely to take 4 to 6 hours depending on conditions, fitness and what is seen along the way. Upon arrival to the falls the view is just reward for the tough trek. The Wamacarro Creek tumbles about 120 metres down the stepped, rocky mountain side. The creek opens up fantastic views across the rainforest covered mountain tops and the rocks create lovely and inviting natural pools to swim in and recover from the hike. The creek water gently massages as you bathe in the natural Jacuzzi. Dinner is served al fresco on a rocky outcrop overlooking the falls and mountains (B,L,D)
Overnight in hammocks at Jordon Falls
Day 4 - Hike to lodge, 4x4 transfer to Lethem, fly to GeorgetownWake to the sound of rushing water and Bell Birds, which can sometimes been seen in the very tops of the trees on adjacent mountains. For the more adventurous you can take a difficult path down beside the falls to view them from the bottom. After a morning dip in the creek you leave by foot, trekking back through the rainforest to the lodge. The trek back is easier at much of it is downhill. Back at Maipaima Eco Lodge enjoy a cold drink before transferring to Lethem for an afternoon flight back to Georgetown. Enjoy an afternoon Georgetown City To highlighting the architecture, markets and botanical Gardens. This evening you can take an optional tour to the Roy Geddes Musical Museum for a cultural evening and local dinner. Roy is Guyana's most famous steel pan player and maker. He will demonstrate how steel pans are made and discuss their history and a rendition of pop, rock, soca, classical and jazz numbers of the pans (B,L)
Overnight at Cara Lodge
Day 5 - Day Kaieteur and Orinduik FallsThis morning depart for a flight to Kaieteur Falls which is situated in the heart of Guyana on the Potaro River, a tributary of the Essequibo. The water of Kaieteur, one of the worlds natural wonders, flows over a sandstone conglomerate tableland into a deep gorge – a drop of 822 feet or 5 times the height of Niagara Falls. Kaieteur supports a unique micro environment with Tank Bromeliads, the largest in the world, in which the tiny Golden frog spends its entire life and the rarely seen Guiana Cock- of-the-rock nesting close by. The lucky visitor may also see the famous flights of the Kaieteur Swifts or Makonaima Birds which nest under the vast shelf of rock carved by the centuries of water, hidden behind the eternal curtain of falling water. The trip then continues onto Orinduik Falls where the Ireng River thunders over steps and terraces of solid jasper, a semi precious stone. With a backdrop of the rolling grass covered hills of the Pakaraima Mountains, this is truly one of the most beautiful locations in Guyana's hinterland. The Ireng River forms the border between Brazil and Guyana. In contrast to Kaieteur, Orinduik is ideally suited for swimming and you will find natural Jacuzzi's as the falls tumble down the steps of Jasper. (B,L)
Overnight at Cara Lodge
Day 6 - Depart GuyanaTransfer to the airport for your departing flight. (B)

Test X180 Review
According to the official Force Factor website, "The experts at Force Factor® carefully formulated Test X180 to provide the boost that every man needs" and it does this because "Each serving of Test X180 contains clinically researched levels of Testosfen®, the proven, natural fenugreek seed extract that has been shown to help men add pounds of hard, sculpted muscle to their bodies." Eventhough Test X180 does contain Tribulus Terrestris it looks like Force Factor has a lot riding on Testofen and their "clinical" studies. Testofen has come under heavy fire for over-stating claims and under-performing for consumers. We decided to send Test X180 to a lab to see how well this product would be able to meet all of their claims.
Test X180 Ingredients
Test X180 contains Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Testofen, Siberian Ginseng, Panex Ginseng, Cordyceps Sinensis and Tribulus Terrestris. Every single one of the claims on their website centers around the "claims" purported by the makers of the patented Fenugreek extract Testofen and also the Tribulus Terrestris. The claims and "clinical studies" surrounding Testofen appear to be nothing short of miraculous, but does Testofen really work? Also, we want to take a look and see how much of the tesosterone boosting protodioscin, the active compound of Tribulus, is found in Test X180.
Testofen is a product derived from fenugreek seeds. According to at least one Testofen lawsuit, multiple studies have suggested that fenugreek has no discernable influence on low-t, and was actually outperformed by a placebo in one trial conducted in India. Gencor Nutrients, which manufacturers Testofen, stands behind the efficacy and safety of their product and says they will defend all allegations.
GNC was also named in the Testofen lawsuit. According to the GNC supplement lawsuit, several independent scientific studies have been done to test the actual efficacy of GNC's herbal products. The idea that the supplements are effective was shot down by those involved in the studies: "These representations are false, based on universally accepted principles of statistical analysis that have been adopted by the regulatory bodies of every 'first world' country, including the United States." There is additional evidence suggesting that GNC and its subsidiaries were aware that they had overstated the efficacy of their herbal product in order to boost sales.
Despite four studies since 2006 that demonstrated the lack of statistically significant results by Testofen consumers, the plaintiffs allege that GNC has continued to market its fenugreek-based products under 20 separate brand names.
Tribulus Terrestris
Tribulus is an herb, but it varies from species to species. Just like how wines produced from the same species of grape but grown in different parts of the world will differ, perhaps significantly, all Tribulus herbs/products can't be assumed to be identical.
In this case, protodioscin concentration – which basically tells you how powerful the Tribulus may be – depends on where in the world it was harvested, and what part of the plant was used. The highest concentrations tend to come from Turkey, Macedonia and Bulgaria. Materials from India, China and Vietnam have reported significantly lower concentrations.
How Much Protodioscin Do You Need?
If Tribulus works, its effects appear to be dose-specific. In other words, the delivery of active protodioscin seems to be effective if you take the right amount. Too little and it doesn't appear to work. The sweet spot seems to be consuming enough Tribulus so you get at least 4 milligrams of protodioscin per pound of bodyweight per day. The issue is every supplement company, like the makers of TestX180 know that Tribulus is the most important compound in supplements. It's not an issue if company's use the correct dosage. Unfortunately most companies just use a token amount of Tribulus to keep costs down and just use other "filler" ingredients. So, how much protodioscins does Test X180 really contain? Let's take a look at the Test X180 Lab Analysis.
So, Will Test X180 Really Work?
If you take a look at the Lab Analysis, Nugenix contains a measly 1.230mg of Protodioscin per capsule! That's hardly enough to do anything. Also, when we heard about this class action lawsuit against Testofen for RICO and fraud we were floored. There are tons of products that use Testofen as their primary ingredients based solely off of Testofen's purportedly fake clinical studies. I went to the Testofen website to read these studies. Unfortunately, or perhaps conveniently, there is no documentation on these "clinical studies".
Final Thoughts on Test X180
Grade: C- If you look at the two primary ingredients, Testofen and Tribulus, there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the effectiveness of Test X180. Testofen might be a totally bogus ingredient. Take that out and you still have Tribulus. BUT the tribulus used in Test X180 only contains a miniscule amount of Protodioscin per capsule! For how much this product costs I would expect it to be loaded with a high quality Tribulus. I guess having huge margins is too hard to pass on. Well, I would definitely pass on Nugenix.I recommend checking out the lab reports on our "Top Rated" supplements. They are the ones that contain the most effective compounds available.

Heechul Reveals His New Haircut Before Military Enlistment
On August 31, Heechul revealed his new haircut for his fans to see through twitter.
Heechul took intimate photos with Kim Jang Hoon and Siwon, titling the one with Kim Jang Hoon, "Long Hair Versus Short Hair." As it is seen, Kim Jang Hoon has a long and wavy hairstyle while Heechul simply has a short and sharp hairstyle. He jokingly added how he looks like "Lady Chunja" which means a lady with an eccentric image and personality..
Netizens gave comments such as, "Even with short hair, he looks like a top star" and "His new hairstyle doesn't hinder him from looking good."
Heechul later replied by saying, "I hope I'm not causing too much trouble with my military enlistment. I'm really happy that I'm receiving a lot of positive comments – it's really helping me get ready for the military. I will be seeing my members again in one month so no worries."
Heechul, along with his fellow Super Junior members, have been busy promoting their 5th album's title song, "Mr. Simple." Many fans were surprised by Heechul's sudden enlistment into the military right after the release of Super Junior's 5th album. Heechul will be serving for the military base in Chungnam – he will first go through four weeks of basic training and then he will officially serve in the military for twenty-three months.

The Adventures of Tintin: Volume 1
The Adventures of Tintin: Volume 1
Small hardback collected volume containing the first two Tintin books in The Adventures of Tintin series written by Hergé. A great gift for any Tintin collector (or Tintinologist, as they like to be known!) why not start your collection today?
Tintin in the Land of the Soviets: The plot of the first ever Tintin story revolves around the young Belgian reporter and his dog Snowy, who travel to the Soviet Union to report back on the policies instituted by the Bolsheviks. However, an agent of the Soviet secret service attempts to prevent Tintin from doing so, consistently setting traps to get rid of him. Despite this, the young reporter is successful in discovering the secrets of the Bolsheviks and how they are stealing the food of the Soviet people, rigging elections and murdering opponents.
Tintin in America: Tintin in America is a wild romp through gangster run Chicago and the Cowboy and Indian travelled Rocky Mountains. It is generally accepted not to be as strong a story as some later titles, but is thoroughly enjoyable, especially for the collector who wants to see the evolution of the Tintin format.
Hardback. Measures 22cm x 15.5cm. Land of the Soviets is black & white, Tintin in America features full colour comic illustrations.
Here at ...Give the Dog a Bone, we are one of the largest stockists of Officially Licensed Tintin merchandise, available online, or in our brick-and-mortar shop based in York, UK.

This is great! Lovely detail.
Great piece of work, you sure have put in some detail into your line work so well done, my only critique would be something very simple, perhaps choose a different coloured background or maybe even white as the green background and the green lines almost blends the 2 together to a point I had to squint closely up against my monitor to see the details, losing visibility and impact on all the great detail you have put in. Other than that, great design. Well done.

I have this rifle but it's currently with a scope for air gun so I want to take a rimfire rifle scope before the adjustment.
Also I'm looking for a rear sight for the same rifle because I've got it only with the scope and the rear sight has been moved to mount the scope.
Please if you have a scope for sale or give, which will be good for rimfire rifle contact me on my e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

The sudden rise of the Zika virus across South America is stoking up fear and alarm amongst many that it may continue to spread at an uncontainable rate. In fact, on Feb 1, The World Health Organization declared the Zika Virus a global public health emergency. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently updated its website in order to inform the public on the Zika virus.
"[The virus] is spread to people through mosquito bites. The most common symptoms of Zika virus disease are fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting from several days to a week. Severe disease requiring hospitalization is uncommon".
The CDC also notes the correlation between the virus and Guillain-Barré syndrome, which Webmd describes as "a problem with your nervous system. It causes muscle weakness, loss of reflexes, and numbness or tingling in your arms, legs, face, and other parts of your body. This rare condition can cause paralysis and lead to death".
Beyond the ailments endured by the infected, there is also believed to be a link between the virus and numerous pregnancy complications. In Brazil, where the virus is most prominent, women with the virus have been giving birth to children with Microcephaly. The Washington Post describes Microcephaly as "a rare neurological condition in which children have unusually small heads" and may coincide with "Down's syndrome and other chromosomal disorders". Microcephaly may be caused by numerous other issues and environmental factors during pregnancy, but there is strong reason for the purported link between the virus and the condition as this article notes: "Brazilian doctors have reported 4,000 suspected cases of Microcephaly versus 147 in 2014. The clusters of cases appear to coincide with the regions where Zika virus is most active".
The disease is spread for the most part by the Aedes mosquito and many South American governments are already taking active or precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus. An article in The Daily Mail takes note of Brazil's novel approach of containing the virus by releasing genetically modified male mosquitos which serve to destroy mosquito populations. These male mosquitos mate with females but due to genetic manipulation their offspring die in their larval stage. According to this article, in 2014 Panama had conducted such a project "out in a town west of Panama's capital, [which] resulted in a 93 per cent decline in the mosquito population in the area" but the project cost was quite "high". Though some are optimistic about such measures, others are concerned that controlling mosquito population alone may not be enough.
One reason many are concerned is that though mosquitos are known to be the primary cause of the Zika virus spread, there may be many other avenues of proliferation as well. An article in The Wall Street Journal claims that "Brazilian health researchers said Friday the Zika virus is active in saliva and urine, sparking fears about possible new infection routes". There is also reason to believe the virus can be sexually transmitted. An article by CBC notes that, "the first known case of Zika virus transmission in the continental United States was reported in Dallas on Tuesday by local health officials, who said it likely was contracted through sex and not a mosquito bite". The article goes on to note that "Dallas County health officials said in a tweet on Tuesday that the patient did not travel but was infected after having sexual contact with an ill person who had returned from Venezuela".
This is all quite worrisome as there is a multitude of ways the virus may be transmitted and thus may continue to spread beyond areas plagued by the primary culprit, the Aedes mosquito. Dr. Mark Loeb,a physician and professor in the department of pathology and molecular medicine at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, told the CBC that "eighty per cent of people who are infected aren't aware so the question is: might men have this in their semen and not even be aware they're transmitting it?" The fact that the virus can lay dormant and not display any dramatic symptoms is perhaps what will make containing or stopping the spread of the virus most difficult.
The number of cases beyond South and Central America is likely to rise, at least marginally, as the virus does seem to be spreading – Omaha, Nebraska's local news KETV network claimed this past Friday that two women have just been diagnosed in Nebraska and that "the patients contracted the virus through mosquito bites during their travels. One woman had been in the Caribbean; the other was in South America". Florida has had a total of nine confirmed cases of the virus and the state has quickly responded. According to ABC News "Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency today in the four counties where people have been diagnosed with the Zika virus." If the spread continues at an alarming rate, there is a chance more counties will be declared as in "a state of emergency" and perhaps in other states as well. In fact, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada, there have already been "travel related cases of Zika virus reported in Canada".
However many professionals are advising that the fears of the Zika virus are overblown and that the media is irresponsibly stoking public anxiety. CNN national security analyst and Professor at Harvard's School of Government, Juliette Kayyem, believes that there "is no need to panic" over the Zika virus. Kayyem admits that the virus will spread to some degree.
"The reality is that our world is too interconnected, travel is too easy, and mosquitos too airborne to think that we can keep this completely at bay." Much like when the bird flu or Ebola started to pick up steam in terms of media coverage, people are beginning to get anxious – some may even be dramatically overreacting. Though the virus may be spreading, this doesn't mean the terrifying symptoms always manifest themselves. Kayyem says, "it's worth remembering that Zika has been around a long time, the vast majority of those infected suffer mild to no symptoms, and its detrimental consequences appear (though the science is not conclusive) to mostly impact a small subset of the population, mainly pregnant women".
As the number of cases begin to increase there is likely to come an increasing number of calls for quarantine or shutting down flights or travel between certain nations or possibly even borders. Yet, no such draconian measures were undertaken during either the bird flu or ebola pandemic and no apocalyptic disaster occurred in either case. Also, the Zika virus is comparatively controllable – Kayyem notes that "unlike Ebola, the Zika virus is not transmitted through passive contact" – meaning there must be direct fluid-based contact for the spread of the virus to occur.
It is undeniably hard to gauge the actual severity of the problem when the media is hyper-focused on the terrifying side-effects of the virus and its spread without providing sobering background information, such as the fact that the symptoms are not prevalent in all of those infected and the virus is much more manageable than other recent public health scares.

Investing in the US Bond Market
Once upon a time, the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks would try to control inflation by manipulating the overnight interest rate charged to institutions that needed quick, short-term cash. If inflation heated up they could raise the rate, thus reducing the amount of money in circulation and causing inflation to slow down. If the economy was struggling, they could lower the overnight rate to encourage more economic activity.
With the crisis of 2008, the Fed had to cut its overnight rate so far that it was effectively zero, and thus regulation of the money supply was no longer effective in stimulating economic growth. That's when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke came up with a new way to increase the amount of money in the markets. This was the concept of "quantitative easing"—the Fed would buy a "quantity" of bonds directly to increase the amount of money in circulation and "ease" the restrictions on capital.
Most (not all) economists feel this strategy was effective and successful for the US Bond Market, and as the economy improved the Fed talk turned to when and how the quantitative easing program would end. New Fed Chair Janet Yellen answered these questions early in 2014 when she announced the Fed would start to "taper" its loan purchases but on a very gradual schedule.
So what does all this mean to the average investor and trader? Based on our patented supply and demand trading strategy at Online Trading Academy, we would assume with less liquidity (i.e. less money) in the marketplace the price of money (i.e. interest rates) will go up. So, should you buy U.S. treasuries today as part of your wealth and income strategy?
If you're looking for interest rates that will give you the kind of returns you can get in other financial markets, the answer is probably not. Those rates are still very low from a historical perspective; you're not going to retire on a portfolio of bonds that pays 2.5% APR. Plus, when inflation returns and interest rates go up, the price of those fixed income assets will decline. That's because other, newer bonds will be paying perhaps 3% compared to your 2.5% Treasury. If you should want somebody to take it off your hands then you'll have to cut the price. (Of course, if you intend to just put the bond in a safe deposit box until maturity—like people used to do with U.S. Savings Bonds—then this strategy doesn't matter.)
A safer strategy than investing in the US Bond Market is to invest in ETFs (Exchange Trade Funds) or mutual funds that buy baskets of bonds and are constantly rotating their inventory. If interest rates go up they'll take a hit on a portion of their portfolio, but they'll then replace those bonds with others that pay more. You can choose ETFs by quality, from super safe Treasuries to middle grade corporate "junk" bonds, with less quality but paying higher rates. And you choose by the average duration of the portfolio—short, intermediate or long term—with risk (and so volatility and potential rewards) increasing as the terms get longer.
Keep in mind that supply and demand among buyers and sellers, in addition to the underlying assets, figure into the fluctuating prices of these tickers.

Transformative learning in public health – Using a 'Dragon's Den' approach Georgina Pearson Hugh Thomas 10.24376/rd.sgul.6120734.v1 https://sgul.figshare.com/articles/Transformative_learning_in_public_health_Using_a_Dragon_s_Den_approach/6120734 All medical graduates should have an appreciation of the importance and scope of public health and the potential roles that they can play in improving health in communities. Using the 'Dragon's Den' approach, with each student researching and presenting a programme to improve health for a population they have selected, has proved a popular teaching method. It has encouraged students to think about public health issues in the United Kingdom and globally. It is transformative in the sense that it has taken them away from the bedside and encouraged them to devise plans to work with other professionals, government, law makers and non-governmental agencies to find ways of improving population health and reducing health inequalities. Their proposals are usually based on evidence based programmes which they have identified in the British and international medical literature. Making an articulate, illustrated short 'pitch' has also enhanced their presentation skills.

This poster was presented at St George's, University of London's Education Day on Wednesday 15 November 2017. More information on the event can be found via the link referenced below.
