During the three years from 2009-2011, James Jones had the second-worst drop rate (14.39 percent) in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus statistics. In 2012, the Green Bay Packers wide receiver's hands became much better and he vastly improved as a player.
That season, he had zero drops and led the league in touchdown receptions, with 14, then and still a career high. In 2013, he set his career mark for receiving yards, with 817. And in 2014, after signing with the Oakland Raiders, he caught a career-best 73 passes.
It's the steady improvement, commitment to his craft and, as he showed last year, continued ability to be a difference-maker into his 30s that likely led the Packers to sign Jones to a one-year contract last weekend to help fill the void left by No. 1 wideout Jordy Nelson, out for the season with a knee injury.
More from FoxSports
The Packers -- and their fans -- understand Jones will not and cannot replace Nelson, who over the past couple of years developed into one of the NFL's elite receivers. They are happy to bring in a player that knows their system and can be productive and have a role in the offense. Nelson was a star; smart, sure-handed, always on the same page with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and a dynamic athlete, he was one of the league's premier deep threats.
And while the 31-year-old Jones, who spent his first seven seasons with the Packers after being drafted in the third round in 2007 and was highly admired by Rodgers during his time in Green Bay, is also smart, sure-handed, in tune with the quarterback and athletic, the one thing he is not is the deep threat the 30-year-old Nelson was.
From 2010, when both players emerged as major playmakers for the Packers in their Super Bowl-winning season, through 2014, Nelson tied for the third-most receptions of 25 or more yards in the league. With 59, he trailed only DeSean Jackson (66) and Calvin Johnson (62) and had the same number as Demaryius Thomas during that time, according to STATS, Inc. During the same span, Jones was tied for 32nd in catches of at least 25 yards, with 34, despite playing two more games than Nelson (78 to 76).
In 2011, Nelson's 16 catches of 25 or more yards were tied for fourth-most. In 2013, his 19 big-play receptions led the NFL. Last year, he had 12, which tied for seventh. Jones has never had more than eight or ranked higher than 29th.
While Nelson's average reception was for 15.7 yards, eighth in the league, Jones' was for 12.6, which was 67th over those five years. Nelson's average yards at catch -- a measure of how far downfield the receiver is when he makes the catch, disregarding yards gained after the catch -- was 10.1. He was essentially good for a first down on every reception. Jones' average yards at catch was 7.5, which was 81st in the league since 2010.
The numbers just reinforce what the Packers and their fans already know: You can't replace a deep threat like Nelson. But Jones is a trusty veteran, a well-liked and much-needed receiver for this team that needs as many weapons as it can get to fulfill its Super Bowl aspirations.
Maybe Jeff Janis can be the Jordy-esque deep threat.

According to Daniel, the wrath of the End is intimately related to the transgression of the liturgical sacrifice -- to the desecration of the communion offering -- a liturgy he called the 'perpetual sacrifice'.
"It even challenged the power of that army's Prince; it abolished the perpetual sacrifice and overthrew the foundation of his sanctuary, and the army too; it put iniquity on the sacrifice and flung truth to the ground; the horn was active and successful." Dan.8:11-12
"He will make a covenant with many for the space of a week; and, for the space of one-half week he will put a stop to sacrifice and oblation, And, on the wing of the Temple will be the disastrous abomination until the end, until the doom assigned to the devastator." Dan.9:27
"Forces of his will come and profane the sanctuary citadel. They will abolish the perpetual sacrifice and instal the disastrous abomination there." Dan 11:31
"From the moment that the perpetual sacrifice is abolished and the disastrous abomination erected: 1290 days. Blessed is he who stands firm and attains 1335 days." Dan. 12:11
Referring to these and other passages in the Book of Daniel, Jesus revealed that when Antiochus put iniquity on the sacrifice in Jerusalem by installing the desolating sacrilege above the altar in the temple, he initiated an allegory of the end times so momentous that it has no parallel in scripture.
"So when you see the disastrous abomination, of which the prophet Daniel spoke, set up in the Holy Place, then those in Judea must escape to the mountains...for then there will be great distress such as, until now, since the world began, there never has been, nor ever will be again." (Mt.24:15-22).
When the beast who is the focus of this allegory appears and puts his iniquity on God's sacrifice it will bring the harvest to an abrupt end and precipitate the horrifying apocalypse because it will break the treaty of peace Christ made with the world at Calvary Hill.
Isaiah wrote: "The earth is defiled under its inhabitants' feet, for they have transgressed the law, violated the precept, broken the everlasting covenant. So a curse consumes the earth and its inhabitants suffer the penalty, that is why the inhabitants of the earth are burnt up and few men are left." (Is.24:5-6).

Complaints Handling Policy
1. Introduction:
Action on Poverty (AOP) believes receiving feedback and responding to complaints from stakeholders is an important part of improving AOP's accountability. To achieve this, a well-managed mechanism for handling external complaints is essential. This mechanism works to improve the quality of our work, enhance the trust and confidence of stakeholders, identify areas of work that need to be improved, and ensure AOP learns from the feedback provided through this process.
AOP staff and management therefore recognise and welcome the importance of complaints and regard them as an opportunity to rectify issues that have been identified through the people we work with: beneficiaries, members, partners, staff, volunteers, donors and the general public, with the aim to improve in the future.
In operationalising this policy all staff, volunteers, stakeholders, partners and any other parties associated with AOP should be made aware of this policy. The policy will be made available on AOP's website and displayed in a public area in AOP's offices.
AOP will make it a priority for all staff, volunteers and partners to be educated on the use of the AOP Complaints Handling Policy and Procedures.
2. Policy Aims:
This policy aims to fulfil the following:
- To deal with complaints in a timely manner
- To provide the highest quality service to all our stakeholders and partners
- To use the feedback obtained through the complaints to identify areas of improvement
- To use the opportunity that an issue raises to enhance the relationship with our stakeholders and partners.
In recognising that informal complaints are dealt with in a shorter timeframe, the policy aims:
- To respond with the necessary information and offer an apology if necessary
- To resolve informal complaints in the shortest possible timeframe
- To effectively manage the communications surrounding the issues raised.
3. Definitions:
For the purpose of this policy, AOP defines a complaint as:
"an external grievance made against AOP or against one or more of its employees, consultants, suppliers, partners or anyone else acting on its behalf, where the organisation has allegedly failed to meet a requirement. That commitment might be related to AOP's activities, use of resources, mission and values, staff conduct/behaviour or a legal requirement".
A complaint is not:
- A general query about AOP's work
- A request for information
- A contractual dispute
- A request to amend records eg. to correct an address, cancel a donation
- A request to unsubscribe from an AOP service eg. newsletter or email.
The processes for dealing with the above issues are different and separate to that of AOP's internal complaints processes and this Complaints Handling Policy. These are covered in the AOP Operations Manual and the AOP Partner Manual (available on request).
Examples of complaints that are covered in this policy include (but are not limited to):
- A member of the public contacts AOP to express their concern about the way in which we have conducted a fundraising campaign; or
- A local person or partner raising concerns with us about one of our programs and/or staff behaviour of one of our Australian or in-country partners.
- A government, NGO, partner or other actor brings criminal allegations of fraud, unlawful harassment or child abuse against AOP and/or its partners in relation to Australian laws and regulations, or local laws and regulations applying to communities supported by AOP and/or AOP's own policies and regulations. In such cases the most stringent standard will apply whether it be the local regulations or AOP's policies. For more information please refer to the AOP Whistleblowing Policy.
A complaint may be made by a person to whom AOP delivers programs (beneficiaries) or supports including a partner, a local organisation with which we work, a national government or other NGOs, as well as members of the Australian public, supporters, donors, the Australian Government, and trusts and foundations.
Anonymous complaints can be made, but our ability to investigate them may be limited due to their anonymity.
4. Principles:
The following principles will guide AOP in the handling of complaints and ensure, that as a signatory to the ACFID Code of Conduct, we comply with the standards relating to complaints handling as follows:
- We recognise the importance and value of listening and responding to concerns and complaints (Section D.6.1 –ACFID Code of Conduct);
- The feedback and complaints handling process is as effective, safe, confidential and accessible to all stakeholders as possible, irrespective of their gender, status or background and without prejudice to their future participation (Section D.6.2-ACFID Code of Conduct);
- Visibility: Information about the process for making a complaint will be clear and well publicised to members, donors, partners participating in programs and other stakeholders.
- Accessibility: The complaints handling process is easily accessible to most stakeholders (via the AOP website). Where there is readily accessible information about the process of making and resolving complaints in a range of formats so that no complainants are disadvantaged. AOP will endeavour to ensure that flexibility is provided to complainants to phone, write and email complaints and/or to raise concerns in person. Acknowledging that not everyone has access to the Internet or is literate, AOP staff will also ensure there are opportunities for face-to-face meetings with project beneficiaries from time to time as part of usual monitoring and evaluation processes.
- Objectivity: All complaints are addressed in a fair and equitable, objective and unbiased manner throughout the complaints handling process. Issues of conflict of interest will be identified to ensure objectivity.
- Confidentiality: Confidentiality relating to the complaint will be safeguarded so far as reasonably practicable including the person(s) to whom the complaint is addressed.
- Collaborative approach: AOP takes a collaborative approach to its programs and actively welcomes feedback including complaints and compliments. As such AOP is committed to resolving all complaints through keeping people informed and where possible coming up with solutions that are satisfactory for all parties.
- Responsiveness: All complaints and constructive feedback will be taken seriously and handled as swiftly as practicable. All complainants will be treated courteously and kept updated on the progress of their complaint throughout the complaints handling process.
- Accountability: Accountability for handling complaints and reporting on the actions and decisions of AOP with respect to complaints handling will be clearly established. All complaints will be recorded through one central point before action is taken.
- Continuous improvement: AOP is committed to the continual improvement of the complaints handling process and the quality of AOP's work. This commitment is practically supported by the monitoring of the complaints handling processes; and the auditing/management reviews of the complaints handling process and refining of complaints handling in light of those reviews.
- Organisational commitment to this policy: AOP will ensure that sufficient resources and expertise are provided to handle complaints. Staff will be briefed on the nature and purpose of the policy and senior managers dealing with the complaints will be given training in handling complaints. Complaints will be handled in accordance with AOP's policies and procedures and in accordance with Australian laws and regulations. The CEO and Chair of the Board, depending upon the nature and level of complaints will be the key people to receive external complaints.
5. Standards:
The handling of complaints at AOP will meet the following standards.
- All complaints will be acknowledged within 3 business days of complaints being received.
- All complainants will receive a copy of the AOP Complaints Handling Policy.
- Any persons implicated in a complaint will not be designated to handle the complaint.
- Under normal circumstances a complaint will be handled within 15 business days from receipt of acknowledgement of the complaint, by AOP. If it cannot be resolved in this time frame notification in writing will be given outlining the ongoing process.
- All complainants will be appointed a point of contact within AOP that they can communicate with.
- All complainants will receive a response outlining the outcome of their complaint within 15 business days or 30 business days if it needs to be referred to the field. If this deadline cannot be met and the matter is more complex, AOP will communicate this with the complainant, outlining what further investigation is required to resolve the complaint and the estimated timeframe.
- If necessary and depending on the severity of the complaint, it may be brought to the attention of the Australian Federal Police.
- All complaints should be recorded on the AOP Complaints Handling Form and Report.
- All complaints will be treated respectfully, whether it is felt the complaint is justified or not.
6. Publicising our Policy:
AOP is very clear in the value that we place on receiving concerns and complaints in all relevant communications. The homepage of the AOP website has a link to the AOP Complaint Handling Policy, the Complaint Process and the AOP Complaint Form. Where literacy is a constraint, we will verbally invite expressions of concern and complaint on a regular basis though meetings and focus group discussions in the field. AOP will take care to approach this idea in a culturally appropriate way, recognising that in some cultures people require greater encouragement to make complaints.
AOP takes special care to facilitate complaints from vulnerable populations including children and marginalised groups. Younger stakeholders are encouraged to engage with us using social media platforms such as Facebook where they can be directed to more formal types of media if they raise any issues of concern.
This policy ensures that making a complaint is easy and accessible to all.
7. Educating our organisation on our Complaint Handling Policy and training relevant personnel:
Our Complaint Handling Policy is distributed to all our paid staff, our volunteers, our partners, stakeholders, contracted service providers and all others acting on our behalf. We require all those who may be involved in any way with a complaint to formally signify their commitment to this policy.
8. Making a Complaint:
To ensure AOP can give fair and efficient consideration to your complaint as much information as possible should be provided. AOP complaint forms are available upon request and via the website, but for those who chose not to use it please provide:
- Your name
- Address
- Telephone number
- Details of the complaint
- Date of the complaint occurring
- Current date
- The remedy or outcome you would like to see as a result of your complaint
All complaints, no matter their severity, will need to be formally noted by a staff member or partner representative and filed correctly in order for the complaint to become formal.
Anonymous complaints are accepted, however, they will only be considered if sufficient information is provided.
All information provided to AOP is treated as confidential.
Sharing Information:
Sharing information is dependent on the severity of the allegation and only ever entered into after gaining the consent from the complainant.
If you are making a complaint or enquiry on behalf of a stakeholder we will need to contact that stakeholder to verify information provided. The person making the complaint will need to give us permission to speak directly to the primary complaint stakeholder unless there is a safety or security concern related to doing so. The AOP Child Protection Policy and Whistleblowing policy may also be relevant in some circumstances.
If the complainant disputes an assessment that a complaint should not be investigated, the member of staff handling the complaint will refer it to a more senior staff member for review. If such a dispute is unresolvable, AOP will refer the complainant to the Code Committee of the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID).
How to make a complaint:
Complaints can be lodged online via our website www.actiononpoverty.org
Or directed to a staff member personally if this is more appropriate.
Complaints should be marked "Confidential" and under normal circumstances would be addressed to:

With the exception of our Vietnam office, AOP works in partnership with local organisations. Complaints can be raised with these organisations about us, or with us directly if a complaint relates to one of our local partner organisations. Where this is the case, a complaint should be directed to the in-country partner office's Country Director (or equivalent) who is required to raise the issue with the appropriate staff member of AOP. Contact details for our partner organisations are available on our website or can be provided by our Sydney office by using the same contact details provided above.
If you believe AOP has breached the ACFID Code of Conduct, you can lodge a complaint on the ACFID website.
9. When a complaint may be declined:
AOP reserves the right to decline a complaint that they deem too frivolous, vexatious, not made in good faith, misconceived or lacking in substance. AOP will provide feedback regarding the complaint and why it is not being taken further.
AOP strives to keep all parties involved during the process of the complaint and works to complete an investigation in a manner specific to the complaint.
10. AOP Complaint Process:
The process that any AOP staff member takes after receiving a complaint is as follows:
- Staff member receives a complaint, either in person, over the phone, by email or in a letter. The staff member will notify the AOP CEO that a complaint has been made, unless the complaint relates to the CEO.
- The CEO will delegate responsibilities for handling the complaint accordingly. Personnel implicated in the complaint will not be involved in the investigation, irrespective of how the complaint is made.
- The CEO or delegated AOP staff member then fills in the AOP Complaints Handling Report outlining appropriate notes of the complaint and the relevant contact details. Staff then send the complainant the AOP Complaints Form to fill out and return along with the AOP Complaints Handling Policy. If the complainant requires assistance to fill this in, the delegated AOP staff member should help provide this support. This must occur for all people making a complaint, no matter the severity.
- The complainant will receive written notification within 3 business days of their complaint being received. The complainant will also be provided with the name and contact details of their AOP point of contact at this time.
- Upon receiving the completed complaint form, the CEO or delegated staff member outline the best way to handle the complaint.
- The AOP Complaints Handling Report will remain a "living" document until the complaint has been dealt with.
Below is a list of AOP staff members who may assist investigate complaints (depending on the complaint):
- Finance and Fraud: Finance Director
- Program Related issues: International Program Director
- Programs and AOP Management: Chief Executive Officer
- Communications and fundraising: Communications, Marketing and Fundraising Manager
- Board
- Ethics Committee (if deemed necessary by the Board)
As noted above, as general principle any staff member implicated in the complaint will not be involved in handling the complaint in any way.
- All complainants will receive a response outlining the outcome of their complaint within 15 business days. If the complaint needs to be referred to the field then complainants will receive a response in 30 business days. If this deadline cannot be met and the matter is more complex, AOP will communicate this with the complainant, outlining any further investigation required to resolve the complaint and give an estimated timeframe.
- Depending on the severity of the complaint, an issue may be referred to the Australian Federal Police.
- If the complaint is deemed to be addressing a more urgent and confidential issue it may fall under the AOP Whistleblowing Policy, the AOP Child Protection Policy and Procedures or the AOP Fraud Policy and Procedures.
- The Board will be notified of all active or recently resolved complaints at each Board meeting
- The complaint will be filed in AOP's HR folder once it has been resolved.
11. How AOP will respond to and close a complaint:
The AOP CEO or senior manager delegated by her/him is tasked with making decisions based on complaints that have required investigation (not a minor complaint). As mentioned above decisions on serious complaints may be referred to our Ethics Committee and/or Board.
AOP will communicate our decision on a complaint as soon as is practical and within 30 business days. Our communication will be in writing in the appropriate language, and either through email or by post.
AOP encourages the complainant to respond and advise as to whether or not they are satisfied with our decision. In our decision we will advise that if a complainant is not satisfied, we will be prepared to consider any additional information they may provide and to review our decision.
In all cases we will advise that the complainant may be referred to the Code Committee of ACFID. We will provide all necessary information for the referral to the Code Committee if such action is required.
12. Monitoring and Review of the Policy and Procedure:
AOP's Complaints Handling Policy is reviewed every three years. The review must address the efficiency of the Complaints Handling Process, and any revision must be submitted and endorsed by the CEO to the Board.
As part of the participatory review and reflection process, AOP staff will reflect on the learnings from the complaints and constructive feedback they have received. This will feed into AOP's own learning and development practices. AOP is prepared to change the way in which we operate and improve or undertake further training of staff. Where needed, we will counsel or discipline staff or volunteers.
Where appropriate, we will consult and take advice from ACFID and/or other relevant regulatory/enforcement authorities.
The AOP Complaints Handling Policy and Procedures will be reviewed by an external body every five years.

The Apron – 'Beneath the Skin'.
The concerns of my art practice have long been engaged with notions of the feminine aspect in the collective unconcious. My work has, so far, found its genesis within the domestic sphere, the experience of the girl child and the home as a site for adventure. The Apron Project is something I feel immediately drawn to. The apron as garment serves as a visual trigger, a metaphor for the self, the work and the alchemy.
It has been my endeavour to use this opportunity to explore the possibilities of meaning which arise from working within the parameters of two mediums- sculpture and painting. The three dimensional and two dimensional planes offer diverse language; one is more present in the world relating to the body in space, the other ethereal in its manifestation. By process itself I use my practice to investigate the apron as object and its semiotics to enable various readings. I have found there are transcendental aspects perhaps previously overlooked for the role of the apron.
My intention is to reinterpret the apron thereby releasing it from a singular reading, which relegates it only to the domestic realm.

Mike DeVries Featured In Golf Vacation Insider
Kingsley Club architect Michael DeVries was named one of "15 Great Golf Course Architect's You've Never Heard Of" by Golf Vacation Insider. Below is the segment. Click here to see the article in its entirety
Mike DeVries
DeVries joins Todd Eckenrode on this list as "Architects Most Likely To Become Household Names Soon." His Greywalls course in Michigan's Upper Peninsula has been known for a while, and his design at the private Kingsley Club in Traverse City has come to be known as the centerpiece of one of the best national golf clubs in the U.S., but it's his course at Cape Wickham on the remote King Island off Tasmania, Australia that will likely vault him up alongside the likes of Doak, Hanse and Coore & Crenshaw. With spellbinding ocean scenery and cliff-hanging holes, Cape Wickham occupies one of the most spectacular pieces of land for golf in the world, and has been ranked the 24th best course in the world by Golf Digest in just its first year of operation.
Other notable work: Mines Golf Course – Grand Rapids, Mich.; Pilgrim's Run Golf Club – Pierson, Mich.; Diamond Springs Golf Club – Hamilton, Mich.; Meadow Club (private; renovation) – Fairfax, Calif.

After a decade in the game, nine albums and a couple of classic mixtapes, Rick Ross' latest shows that he still has something left in the tank.
Many like to say that Hip-Hop is a "young man's sport." But that statement is relative. We can't sit here and act like emcees over the age of 30, and sometimes 40, still aren't out here selling out tours, dropping solid albums and most of all, being a much-needed voice of reason in a time where rappers are free to just rap the first thing that pops up in their head and put it out unedited and at times, unfinished.
After 10 years in the game, Rick Ross is now considered aan OG or a "big homie." He's put in the years of work, stayed true to who he is and has paid it forward by giving rappers like Wale, Meek Mill and others a platform to succeed when the rest of the industry was still scratching their heads about them. However, when one reaches this point of their career, they have to start making some decisions about the music they put out. Should they show their maturity and age by leaving certain sounds and topic alone to focus on grown man sh*t?
Should they show their maturity and age by leaving certain sounds and topic alone to focus on grown man sh*t? Should they stay trapped in the image they introduced themselves to the world in? Can they continue to compete in the "young man's game?"
Rick Ross' latest album Rather You Than Me answers all of those questions. Granted, some answers are better than others, but he still at least responds.
He opens the album with the Raphael Saadiq-assisted "Apple Of My Eye" where shows flashes of his Teflon Don-era genius, especially on the last verse when he raps:
I'm happy Donald Trump became the president
Because we gotta destroy, before we elevate
Real shit, look at me inside the white house
With a pocket full of weed inside the white house
Dead presidents tattooed on a nigga chest
U.S. treasury addressing me, mad at my address
Own the biggest residential pool is the US
Drake and Kanye can invite every bitch they ever met
Finger fuckin' bitches in the holy water
Then I go an tell what happened to my only daughter
So her daddy told it to her firsthand
Never perfect but its not just bout them purses
But so far, line from this song that's drawing the most attention is the one where he speaks on the position he was put in during Meek Mill's beef with Drake and eventual break-up with Nicki Minaj:
I told Meek I wouldn't trust Nicki, instead of beefing with your dog you just give him some distance
We all make mistakes, lets not be to specific
You rather be a killer than be statistic
He follows this up with the soulful "Santorini Greece," which sounds like the music that Ross should be making all of the time, which is followed by "Idols Become Rivals" where he goes at Birdman for his shady business practices.
After that he trades in the lush production and returns to the heavy bass "BMF"-like sound for three songs straight with "Trap, Trap, Trap," "Dead Presidents," and the very direct "She On My D*ck" featuring Gucci Mane.
Through the rest of the album Ross sounds the most comfortable that he's been in years. Probably because this is the first work he's put out where he was just that, comfortable. Hood Billionaire was a rushed album that he put out to keep his label afloat while Meek Mill was in jail, and Black Market came out as just got out of jail himself, which was followed by court dates and his last days at Def Jam. So needless to say, Ross had a lot of stuff going on while trying to create.
With Rather You Than Me, he shows that he's still capable of making his greatest music when he is able to focus on just that. He also shows that he can adapt and work with artists like Young Thug and make them enter his world instead of the other way around. The best quality about the album is that Ross expresses himself like a grown man and not resorting to emotional outbursts. From the way he handled his issues with Birdman to how he addressed his current relationship with Drake on "Triple Platinum."
After a solid ten years and great batting average, it's time that Ross start entering your G.O.A.T. conversations.

Press Release
Agriculture Committee holds hearing to examine positive impacts of lifting oil export ban
Today, the House Agriculture Committee held a hearing to examine the economic impact that exporting crude oil would have on the rural and national economy. Members of the committee heard from experts on energy development and the rural economy, who focused on the advantages to lifting the ban on oil exports.
"The majority of oil development takes place in rural areas like Texas' Eleventh Congressional District, and when development slows or prices swing wildly, the health of those rural communities suffers. Allowing a forty-year old law to dictate our nation's energy policy is simply not in the best interest of the American people. According to studies, if we were to lift the ban today, we would see close to a million new jobs nationwide in just a few years. Lifting the oil export ban will grow our economy, it will also improve our geopolitical position and it will lower gas prices," said Chairman K. Michael Conaway.
Written testimony provided by the witnesses from today's hearing is linked below. Click here for more information, including Chairman Conaway's opening statement and the archived webcast.

text: I can't cite specifics but I've heard that, literally, smoking is hazardous to your health. It's not much different than tobacco smoke in that unhealthy residue in the smoke permeates the meat. From my own experience, the few times I've had smoked meat, I found that it didn't enhance the basic taste but did add another level of flavor at the edge which didn't really impress me. Is there more to it than that? Am I missing something?

Kylie Jenner and boyfriend Tyga went out for shopping Tuesday (April 14) in Hollywood, California.
The 17-year-old was looking gorgeous as usual, donning crop top and long skirt while flaunting her midriff. Her rapper boyfriend was more casual, wearing a white T-shirt and trousers.
Kylie is back to brunette after experimenting with turquoise hair at the Coachella musical event last weekend.

MY ART IS MY LIFE I was born on March 5 to a working class family in Harrison, New Jersey not far from the city of Newark. My art education was largely informal, and began on my twelfth birthday when I was given a monograph book chronicling the life of Vincent Van Gogh; in later years, I would study under the tutelage of renowned artists Taylor Oughton and Vernon Wood. In my work I allow the painting to guide me. The colors I employ are dictated by the piece itself, as it comes to 'life.' I believe that my use of color is directly related to the manner in which van Gogh organized his palette, that is, without restriction. I find it impossible to explain my deep-seeded passion for the plight of the American Indian, during the mid to...

Atlanta is the Southeast's technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship capital, with the third-largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the country.
During the past five years, corporations have opened more than 20 innovation and technology centers in and near Tech Square, where they have ready access to Georgia Tech, startup talent, and to new technologies.
In January 2018, long-standing corporate partner, Chick-fil-A, opened a Technology Innovation Center in the Historic Biltmore. The new center, says Chick-fil-A CEO, Dan Cathy, provides a distinct competitive advantage — namely, "the ability to assemble talent ... and speed."
Beginning back in the '90s, Georgia Tech began buying and developing blighted land between campus and Midtown Atlanta.
That bold step of taking on the charge of transforming a failed area led to the development of Tech Square: a 1.4-million-square foot urban mixed-use development encompassing education, research, hospitality, office, retail, and residential facilities and spaces.
The AT&T Foundry at Tech Square was an early member of the area's innovation community.
Tech Square is a vital nexus that has generated prosperous bonds between Georgia Tech's intellectual capital and the burgeoning business community on the edge of campus in Midtown.
The area is a dense conglomeration of major tech companies, corporate innovation centers, startups, venture capital investors — just about every component essential to an effective and efficient innovation ecosystem.
Tech Square is well-reputed for facilitating dynamic connections between Tech's internationally renowned researchers, R&D labs, highly skilled students, workforce-ready graduates, and the thriving Atlanta business community.
And, so, they keep coming.
"Businesses are also flocking to Atlanta. NCR, Kaiser Permanente — one of the leading health care firms in America — and GE Digital are all within the city's limits."
Black Enterprise,
"Here's How Atlanta is Becoming a Center of Tech Innovation" - July 2016
The opening of the Boeing Manufacturing Development Center in Tech Square is just one recent example, and Boeing's Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Boeing Engineering, Test, and Technology Greg Hyslop describes it as a "significant step" for his company.
"Boeing has a long established and successful relationship with Georgia Tech," said Hyslop.
"We look forward to the opening of this research center to continue that relationship and continue to build even deeper ties between Boeing engineers, and faculty and graduate students at Georgia Tech.
I'm really excited about where this might go and the technology it's going to lead to. It's going to make Georgia Tech better, it's going to make Boeing better, and it's going to make aerospace better."
The Boeing Manufacturing Development Center works to implement automation in industrial applications.

It wasnt as hard as I expected it to be, Jones told AllHipHop.com. The new Monday Night Fight Klub champ, who works under the tutelage of multi-platinum producer Needlez (50 Cents Piggy Bank), was repeatedly accused by Jin of using pre-written verses.
Its $10, 000 dollars. Id be a fool to not have some thoughts prepared for the battle. Jin definitely has thoughts prepared and he has written raps, but he just disguises by adding freestyle punchlines at the right time. I use the same technique. This isnt about an original freestyle, this is about $10, 000.
Although Jones contends that the battle was easier than it looked, he and Jin went toe to toe for three rounds with the cash money on a pool table that separated them. Jin began the battle with knockout lines like He couldnt milk the game for what its worth if he was playing with cows. However, Jones humorous, but racially charged insults appeared to wear on the Asian rapper.
The crowd erupted after Jones spit, Youve been wack your whole career/ aint there two billion people in China, you cant even go platinum over there. In rhyme, Jin retorted that he would be assassinated if he struck back with bigoted raps about African Americans in the Fight Klub. Nevertheless, Jones stormed back with, You aint a Ruff Ryder, you on the back like one of them broads/ DMX tried to kill him for trying to cook one of his dogs.
The celebrity panel of judges- made up of super producer Just Blaze, D-Block CEO Sheek Louch, and Hot 97 radio jock Miss Info-acknowledged that the race-related tone of the battle played a large role in their decision to opt for an unexpected sudden death round.
As soon as Serius Jones started spitting with the racist jokes, I felt like he was reaching out to the lowest common denominator, said Miss Info, who claimed she had seen Jones successfully battle before without having to resort to such tactics. I think it took Jin out of his stride. Ive seen Jin battle many times and I know that he is usually able to take that and brush it right off. Tonight he didnt necessarily do so. When Serius Jones came with straight fire in the sudden death round, and color blind fire, then I knew he won the battle. They both had daggers, Serius were just sharper
Fight Klub host International P, who moderated the event amongst a heavily industry-populated crowd, agreed. They both showed that they deserved to be champs, he said. At the end of the battle, you couldnt say that this one won or this one lost. So the judges decided they needed another round to really decide. There was one winner. That boy Serius is serious. Hes the new champ of Fight Klub.
The AllHipHop.com/Fight Klub event was a portion of AHH Week 2005. Tonight fans can see signed artists like Saigon, Stimuli and Maino as well as unsigned talent at the Breeding Ground Showcase at The Canal Room.

I had an absolute great time working on this in-class project. Our instructor Matt Bell, whose experience includes being a Technical Artist for Ubisoft games such as Assassin's Creed, was gracious enough to share his knowledge and techniques. These are some screenshots of a cellar I had modelled. Everything was modelled from scratch within 3DS Max before being imported into Unity. Walls, columns, and floors were all created modularly. Textures, including normal maps for the stone and cloth were created in Photoshop then imported into multi-materials within 3DS Max.
Complimentary color composition was established, using warm colors for inner lighting and cooler colors for the god rays and fog.
Light sources were placed to accentuate/ highlight forms as well as to create interesting shadows. These all help contribute to the overall mood of the space when walking through it.
Slapped together a location of interest using the library of models I had created. A table and a flag with a symbol on it with some extra lights will do the job.
The particle effects and the texture animation of the god rays are little things that help bring life to environments, which are essentially static. Also highlighting little details like this grate may spark some imagination in someone passing by. Perhaps something's down there?
A couple of screenshots behind the scenes.

text: NEPTUNE, N.J. (AP) - July 6, 2008 --Authorities believe they have identified the small plane that crashed into the shallow waters of the Shark River. State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones said Sunday that the wreckage appeared to match a small RV-7 plane missing out of the airport in Allaire. But Jones said nothing had been recovered from the crash site to link it to the missing plane -- or its unaccounted for owner, Richard Jahns of Point Pleasant Beach. Jones said Jahns was believed to be the only person on board the plane when it took off from Allaire. A small plane crashed at about 7 p.m. Saturday near the New Jersey shore. A phone call to a number listed for Jahns wasn't immediately returned Sunday.

Even when I'm not on vacation, I like to keep a digital still camera close at hand. A typical still camera captures more image resolution than a camcorder; plus, I like to send snapshots to friends and family.
Most camcorders sold today can also shoot still images, so you've no doubt accumulated a bunch of photos. If you use iPhoto to organize your pictures, you can easily grab them from within iMovie and add them to your movie. And with the Ken Burns Effect, you can add some pan and zoom effects to make the photos more interesting.

Yep, I'm still on the Champix and nope, I haven't had a single smoke since I started taking them.
In fact, I was doing so well and I was so pleased with my progress, I'd decided it was time to start cutting down on the Champix.
I decided to halve the dose in the morning and the evening. Big mistake. I was okay for the first 4 days or so, but on the 5th (which nicely coincided with my birthday), I was getting very jittery and uncomfortable. In fact, it felt almost the same as it did the very first day I stopped smoking. Not good.
So, for now, I'm back up to full strength. I didn't crack, and I didn't have a smoke, but it wasn't a pleasant experience.
I guess my body/brain just isn't quite ready yet.

Update: ICCFA University Achieves Near-Record Attendance; Winter And Ehlert Selected As Valedictorians; Heffner's Term Expires
STERLING, VA (August 6, 2014)—The 2014 session of ICCFA University, held July 18-23 at the University of Memphis, experienced one of its largest enrollment rates ever with 193 paid attendees.
ICCFA University is considered the flagship educational conference that the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association holds annually. Students enroll in a five-day, rigorous classroom experience taught by industry veterans and outside-the-industry experts. They choose to attend one of seven colleges:
- 21st Century Services
- Cremation Services
- Embalming, Restorative Art & Other Care
- Funeral Home Management
- Land Management & Grounds Operations
- Leadership, Administration & Management
- J. Asher Neel College of Sales & Marketing
After attending four years, a student may "graduate" and call his/herself an "ICCFA University graduate." Similar to higher education institutions, a valedictorian is chosen by the group of graduating seniors. For the first time ever, co-valedictorians were chosen:
- Rich Winter, Letum, Inc., Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
- Becca Ehlert, Pinelawn Memorial Park & Mausoleum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
And after three years at the helm, the term of ICCFA University chancellor Ernie Heffner, CFuE, Heffner Funeral Chapel & Crematory, York, Pennsylvania, has expired. Heffner was appointed to the role of chancellor in 2011 and served an extended three-year term. ICCFA president I. Frederick Lappin, CCE, recognizes Heffner's outstanding leadership.
"Ernie has done a superb job in helping to manage, grow and enhance the quality of the overall ICCFA University experience," Lappin said. "I, on behalf of the association's members, thank him for his time and energy in putting together a program that has become a gem within the profession."
Attendees consistently rate ICCFA University very highly, with 94 percent indicating their overall experience was "very satisfactory," and the remaining 6 percent rating it "somewhat satisfactory." Some comments from this year's surveys include:
- "The educational experience provided to the students of the ICCFAU is the best of its kind in the death care profession today. I say that knowing that a student can walk through the doors the first year with nothing more than a desire to learn, but leave after four years with a diverse awareness of our industry having learned from top industry professionals. They may then take that back to their own communities to better serve customers." Chris Cooke, Evansville City Cemeteries, Evansville, Indiana
- "The five years I have attended the university provided the foundation to do more than I could have ever anticipated with my career. It provided me with the tools to implement change and to take a leap. I have gained a tremendous amount of self-confidence and have learned such a wide spectrum of knowledge. My networking connections are invaluable." Debbie Budke, Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum, Cincinnati, Ohio
- "I am relatively new to the death care industry and I never thought there was much life in it. The people at ICCFA are energetic, forward-focused and a lot of fun. Combine those attributes with a first-class educational experience and you have a winner. I'll be back." Rick Brittain, Sunset Memorial Park, Albuquerque, New Mexico
- "After attending conferences for more than 20 years, ICCFAU has lived up to the hype. Every day I found nuggets of information that I can put to use every day at my workplace. ICCFAU is great, sustainable and should be a MUST DO for any owner or manager to push their company forward." David Patterson, Global Mortuary Affairs LLC, Dallas, Texas
The 2015 session of ICCFA University will take place July 17-22, again at the University of Memphis. Scholarship applications will be posted online at www.iccfa.com this fall.
Founded in 1887, the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association is the only international trade association representing all segments of the cemetery, cremation, funeral and memorialization profession. Its membership is composed of more than 8,900 rooftop locations and 15,000 professionals in the cemetery, funeral home and crematory industries, as well as supplier and related businesses worldwide.

The Konskie Group inaugurates two new lines
September saw the successful start-up of the StarDust and StarGres plants, both equipped with SACMI machines: they will extend both the product range and the output capacity of this Italian-Polish group.StarDust is a modern spray-dried powder plant which produces around 500 tons/day of powder for high quality porcelain tile; it consists of a continuous crown and pinion mill and a large spray drier and also features an automated vehicle loading system.StarGres is a new ceramic plant capable of producing more than 7,000 m2/day of glazed porcelain tile. The line, which receives a part of the spray dried powder produced by StarDust, consists of a PH3020 press with relative EVA983 vertical drier, a single-layer FMS255 roller kiln and a MASTER sorting line complete with palletizer.These two new production facilities show that the long-standing partnership between the Konskie Group and SACMI is as mutually rewarding as ever.

Major spoilers below for those who haven't watched The Flash's Season 3 finale.
The Season 3 finale for The Flash did a slambang job of bringing the action, the awesomeness, and (perhaps most important of all) the answers. While the chapter on Savitar has officially come to a close, it looks like yet another one is already opened, with some major changes going down, some posing even more questions than before. We saw a lot happen in the finale, especially in those bonkers last few minutes, and here are all the major ways the episode changed things up as The Flash heads on to a very different Season 4.
H.R. Is Dead
Looks like the theories were right. In an act of ultimate heroism, H.R. discovered his true purpose and laid down his life to save Iris West. His death cut the team deep, especially poor Cisco, but Earth-2 Harrison Wells was there to step in and fill the void left by his doppelgänger's sacrifice. It's not the same, which is something I'm sure Tracy Brand will reiterate later on, since she had committed to a future with H.R. shortly before his death. But the team must trudge on in this time of mojrning. I know H.R.'s character was a bit polarizing for The Flash community, but I can't imagine anyone not genuinely missing his coffee-fueled antics and drumstick twirling in Season 4.

"Morning Ferry, Varenna" Watercolor by Derek Gundy
One of my favorite places is Lake Como. Here there a stunningly beautiful small towns at different points of the lake, with many of the major towns accessible by ferry. Three central towns form "ferry triangle", so easy to hop on a boat and go from town to town. The towns are Mennagio, Varenna, and Bellagio.
All three are gorgeous places to be, but I have to say my hands down favorite has to be Varenna. A quiet town on the east side of the lake, it is a 15-20minute ferry ride from popular and bustling Bellagio. Varenna stretches out along the edge of the lake, with winding pathways guiding you along just feet above the surface of the water.
Here on our first trip in 2002, we met Giorgio, owner of Il Pozzo, a gem & jewelry shop right in the heart on Varenna, just step from the Lake. Giorgio's shop is in the orange building right in the center of this painting. This is one of many watercolors in a series on Varenna I'm working on right now in the studio. His shop is on the 1st floor, and he lives on the third.
"Varenna, Lake Como, Italy" Watercolor by Derek Gundy
It was this friendship which kept bringing us back to Lake Como year after year for the next 4 years... in our more recent trips we have had wine and meals with our friend Giorgio. Each year we purchase new pieces from him and he always remembers us. The whole experience has made Varenna most special in our hearts beyond the jaw dropping beauty of the town.
It is always nice to have a friend in Italy.

Casey, Lawmakers Introduce Bipartisan Legislation to Prohibit School 'Lunch Shaming'
Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) joined his colleagues Senators Tom Udall (D-NM) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) in introducing a bipartisan bill to prohibit schools from discriminating against or stigmatizing children who have outstanding credit or don't have enough money to pay for meals at school. U.S. Representative Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) led the House companion bill along with U.S. Representatives. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Rodney Davis (R-IL), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), Bobby Scott (D-VA). The legislation, the Anti-Lunch Shaming Act, would ban schools from singling out children — such as by requiring them to wear wristbands or hand stamps or do extra chores — because their parents have not paid their school meal bills.
In an effort to decrease school meal debt, some schools require cafeteria workers to take these steps and others — in some cases even throwing the child's meal away — rather than extending credit for meals. The Anti-Lunch Shaming Act prohibits these tactics by requiring schools to direct communications regarding meal debt to the parent, not the child. The bill also aims to make the process for applying for free and reduced price lunch applications simpler by expressing that it is the sense of Congress that schools should provide these applications more effectively to the families who need them, coordinate with other programs to ensure that homeless and foster children are enrolled for free meals, and set up online systems to make paying for meals easier for parents when possible.

Dark. Cold. Wet.
Out of the frying pan and into the… what, exactly?
"Where are we?" Abelarde asked, and heard his voice echoing back at him. "Lucan, what do you see?"
The eladrin's keen eyesight cut through the black. "I see rocks. Some moss. Looks like we're in a cave."
Whitby drew his sunblade and bathed the area in bright, radiant light. Lucan was right. They were in a cave of some kind, with columns of jagged black stones jutting out from the floor and ceiling like sharp teeth. There were very few smooth edges to be seen. It looked as if the cave had been created by pulling the walls apart rather than through the forces of nature.
Salissta shielded her eyes from the light and turned her head away. "Put that out!" she demanded. "Are you trying to get us killed?"
Abelarde sheathed his blade. The darkness returned. "Might I remind you that you were the one who brought us here. Maybe you are trying to get us killed?"
Toby grabbed a handhold on the nearest wall. "I can't see a thing, but this rock feels very cold. Are we in the mountains?"
Lucan lowered himself on one knee and felt the rock and dirt beneath him. "I don't think so. It doesn't feel like the mountains. It feels different."
Salissta retrieved a sack from a box tucked behind a small pile of stones. Inside the sack was a glowing blue stone. The light from the stone was dim, but it brightened the cave enough for people to make out faces and navigate around the treacheries of the cave. Even with the light, it was a bit startling when Saffrenia croaked "We're in the Underdark, aren't we?"
All eyes turned to Sallista. Despite the fact that the tortured eladrin was now conscious, it seemed more important to have her question answered.
Salissta put the sack down and walked between the shards of stone. "Yes. We are in the Underdark. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to make sure that beacon of light didn't attract any unwanted visitors."
Quiet as a whisper, Salissta moved through the cave and disappeared. Koyas knelt down beside the Councillor. "You're awake," he said. "I don't know if you can see them, but your feet aren't right for standing on. Sitting down is a thing you should keep doing."
Saffrenia looked up at Koyas. "Who is this foul-smelling little man? And who are you people?"
"I am Abelarde Whitby, and these are the Scions of Legacy. We have rescued you."
"Hmm." Saffrenia looked around the cave. "Thanks for that." Abelarde cocked an eyebrow while Lucan stood behind her. "So tell me, Abelarde Whitby. What is Salissta doing here? Did my husband summon her to suck the power from her?"
"Well no, not exactly but it appears that was the final result." Abelarde knelt down at Saffrenia's feet and examined the burned stumps beneath her ankles. Charred meat clung to shiny tendons and white bone. "I've seen worse," he diagnosed. "But not by much." He set his field pack down and dug through the contents. "So was this a plan you and your husband spoke about? Bringing her back?"
Saffrenia looked down at her charred limbs, knowing who was responsible for it. "It was something he had been planning. You see, my husband was quite… obsessed with the arcane arts. At first, like a fool I encouraged his devotion, but soon he started talking about becoming more powerful than Elminster, and using the ritual his sister had used to empower herself with the demon's essence."
Lucan stared at the back of Saffrenia's head. "Who was he planning on using the ritual on? Elminster?"
Saffrenia looked down. "Everyone."
The concept took some time to sink in. Toby leaned against the wall and shook his head. "I tried to make him see reason," Saffrenia tried to explain. "When he felt I was standing in his way he had me replaced with a construct. He hired an assassin named Tewey to act as her assistant and thereby controlled the Council of Seven. If anyone stood against him, he could have Tewey eliminate them. That's why I ended up in the Blackguard's basement."
"Such a shame," Koyas cooed.
Abelarde produced a roll of bandages and began to gently wrap what remained of Saffrenia's feet. "Your children didn't try to stop him?"
"Garridel and Larah both followed in their father's footsteps. They did everything he said without question." She winced as Abelarde applied pressure. "Deremiis chose another path, and apparently Kalak is searching for him in some effort to contain him."
Lucan turned his back to Saffrenia and walked across the cave.
Abelarde stood up and admired his wrapping job. "All done," he announced with a great deal of pride.
Toby stood up and looked over Abelarde's shoulder. "You sure? Seems a little loose."
"No, that's just the light."
"Really think it's a little loose." Toby bent down and tugged on the bandages. Saffrenia shrieked. The barbarian straightened. "See? Loose."
Salissta stormed back into the cave. "Quiet!" she hissed at her sister-in-law. "You're not conducting a meeting here!"
Saffrenia stared at her with open malice. "You're enjoying this."
Sallista stared back and curled her upper lip. "Maybe a little. I've had a rough century."
Koyas knelt down and adjusted the bandages on Saffrenia's foot. "There. All better."
The Councillor didn't seem to appreciate the effort. "You smell like garbage and excrement. I'd rather you not touch me."
Lucan spoke just loud enough to be heard. "If it wasn't for him, you'd still be in your cell. I guess he is crazy after all."
At first, it had been hard to place the voice. It had seemed familiar to her, but this time Saffrenia managed to place it. She craned her neck to try and see where the voice was coming from. "Omessan?" Saffrenia whispered, hands to her lips, eyes wide with disbelief.
Salissta looked down at the Councillor. "This is how it is. The crazy little man saved you from your cell. I saved you from your prison. We are going after my brother before he decides that reality isn't quite worth his time and wipes us out of existence."
That got Toby's attention. "He can do that?"
"He'll have the power to do what he wishes. I think we'd all rather that not happen."
There wasn't much left of her heels, so Saffrenia pulled herself along the ground with her hands. She reached one of the outcroppings and leaned against it. "I'm a prisoner?"
Salissta scoffed. "Please. You're Saffrenia Stormrage. Who could ever imprison the likes of you? Other than your husband of course."
Koyas patted Saffrenia on the head. "That wasn't a very nice thing for him to do."
Saffrenia slapped his hand away. "I told you not to touch me." She looked up at him. "But thank you for saving my life."
Koyas smiled and bowed. Something small and unrecognizable fell out of his hair and landed in Saffrenia's lap. She cringed and swatted at it, bouncing away from him across the hard stones.
Salissta grabbed the glowing blue stone and held it up. "Okay, enough. Saffrenia, you know how to get home. I trust that you can get there safely. The rest of us will be carrying on to Apothica. After that, we will stop Kalak from unmaking reality."
Abelarde pulled his sunblade once again. This time, he dimmed the blade enough to enlighten only the nearby area. "I'm glad you feel this sense of empowerment, but might I remind you that we really don't trust you. You've brought us to the Underdark, and want us to wander around in the dark at your mercy. Also, you happen to be wearing a Scion's body as a coat. As amazing as we are, there are limits to what we can tolerate."
Salissta tossed the glowing stone to Toby. "I know you don't trust me. I'm not asking you to. You want honesty? Fine. I can't stop Kalak without you. Feel better?"
Nobody seemed much better.
For the moment, the Scions rested on long, thin sacks that acted as mattresses filled with moss. Small bowls of powdered rations were passed around to everyone. It was mixed with fresh cold water to form a fine paste that hinted at some kind of actual food. While Saffrenia cast her ritual that would send her home, the Scions sat in the near-dark eating their goop.

Blunt Force Nutrition – Diversifying their Prohormone Portfolio
If you missed it just a couple of weeks ago the FDA issued a warning on a dual prohormone called Mass Destruction made by a company called Blunt Force Nutrition. Read the full story here – Mass Destruction Prohormone by Blunt Force Nutrition.
Just today I was looking for any updates to this "warning" issued by the FDA, when I stumbled upon more information regarding the company Blunt Force Nutrition. What seemed like a relatively unknown company, might actually be ran by a fairly experienced prohormone producer. According to the North Carolina Department of Secretary of State website, Blunt Force Nutrition is owned by Jerry T. Edmundsun. Digging further, I found a post on SupplementReviews.com in which someone actually put in a lot of time researching where exactly Blunt Force Nutrition spawned from, including the neighborhood in which the owner lives. He also interestingly notes that Jerry or Travis Edmundsun actually works for Nutraclipse. Here's the entire post if you care to read it.
Enter Nutraclipse
Now clicking through I found that he is actually the owner of Nutraclipse (refer to image). Nutraclipse is a prohormone company that's been around for some time. Most popular for their prohormone called Raptor which was first a combination of superdrol and 2-cyano-17a-methyl-17b-hydroxy-androst-3-one or "cyano", then reformulated with superdrol and dymethazine. And today Raptor Redux is sold as a combination of 6-chloro-17b-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one or "hexadrone", and 2,17a-methyl-5a-androsta-1-en-17b-ol-3-one or "methylstenbolone". So essentially a strong prohormone any way you look at it.
In general Nutraclipse prohormones have received positive reviews, albeit being a lesser known prohomormone company overall. Still this begins to make me think that the negative attention on Blunt Force Trauma will also lead to negative attention for Nutraclipse. As such, if you're a fan of Nutraclipse prohormones, you may want to stock up before they are potentially wiped off the market.
