MINNEAPOLIS, MN -- (Marketwired) -- 05/22/14 -- ValueVision Media, Inc. (NASDAQ: VVTV) ("ValueVision"), a multichannel electronic retailer via TV, Internet and mobile, today mailed a letter to its shareholders highlighting the Company's many successes in the execution of its strategy to transform the Company into a multichannel retail destination. ValueVision's 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is scheduled for Wednesday, June 18, 2014.
The full text of the letter from Randy Ronning, Chairman of the Board, is below:
May 22, 2014
Dear Fellow ValueVision Shareholder:
ValueVision's Annual Meeting is less than one month away and your vote is extremely important. Your Board of Directors urges you to vote the enclosed WHITE proxy card "FOR" ValueVision's eight highly qualified and experienced nominees: Keith Stewart, Randy Ronning, Jill Botway, John Buck, William Evans, Landel C. Hobbs, Sean Orr and Lowell Robinson. The Clinton Group wants to replace six of these directors with its own nominees without presenting a clear strategy to create shareholder value.
Over the past five years, ValueVision's highly experienced and talented management team, along with over 1,000 committed team members, have transformed your Company into a multichannel retail destination serving approximately 1.4 million customers -- a record level for the Company. Moreover, they have returned the Company to sales growth and positive Adjusted EBITDA performance for each of the past eight quarters, while also solidifying the Company's financial position through disciplined management of operating expenses and the repayment of $53 million in preferred stock obligations, the refinancing of high interest debt obligations with lower cost debt, as well as an overall expansion of the Company's credit facility. Since August 15th, 2012, when Mr. Stewart announced the Company's second quarter 2012 results showing a return to growth and positive Adjusted EBITDA, shareholders have seen ValueVision deliver a total return of 166.1% as compared to the total returns of 25.2% and 56.4% for HSN and QVC, respectively. Your Board of Directors, with proven industry and public company experience, has been working closely with ValueVision management during this time. Your Board remains committed and focused on driving even greater value for all shareholders as well as leveraging ValueVision's business model for long-term, sustained growth.
Management's track record is well documented and their success in achieving a turnaround of the Company's performance is clear. However, your Company's positive trajectory could be derailed by a single investor who owns significantly less stock than does management and the Board, and whose interests do not appear aligned with the interests of ALL shareholders.
Your Board and management team, through their continued successful execution of ValueVision's strategy, have transformed the Company and are continuing to deliver positive results.
We urge you to support your Board and management team by signing, dating and returning the enclosed WHITE proxy card today.
Clinton has launched a proxy contest in an attempt to take control of 75% of the seats on ValueVision's Board of Directors, yet has failed to propose a detailed operational and financial strategy to achieve improved shareholder value creation at the Company.
Clinton's plan is apparently to ask for control first and provide answers later. Clinton is proposing six broad ideas, most of which are concepts that ValueVision's Board and management have already implemented or consider on a regular basis.
When reviewing Clinton's proposals below, ask yourself whether they justify a change in your Board or, for that matter, the cost and expense associated with a proxy contest, especially considering that some of these ideas have already been implemented. Shareholders should also question whether Clinton has fully thought through the economic implications and feasibility of many of its proposals.
Clinton Proposal: Replace Chief Executive Officer
ValueVision Response: Why replace Keith Stewart, a CEO who has transformed the Company by assembling an impressive new management team and returning it to growth and positive Adjusted EBITDA?
- Keith Stewart has over 21 years of multichannel retailing experience, and as CEO, he has transformed ValueVision into a business that is not only growing but is also delivering improved bottom line performance.
- During Keith Stewart's tenure as CEO, ValueVision's share price has increased by approximately 836.5% from $0.52 to $4.87, the closing share price on May 21, 2014. An investment in ValueVision is worth more than three times as much as an investment in the Russell 2000 index over the same period.
- Furthermore, Mr. Stewart assembled a team of talented industry veterans who implemented and executed the Company's strategy, which has resulted in ValueVision's achievement of eight straight quarters of sales growth and positive Adjusted EBITDA.
- After five CEOs in five years, ValueVision's Board of Directors conducted a broad search and determined that Mr. Stewart was the best candidate and had the necessary talent and experience to turn the Company around -- Mr. Stewart, along with the rest of the management team, have the full confidence and support of the Board.
Mr. Stewart's initial mandate as CEO was to execute a turnaround of ValueVision, which at that time had an uncertain future. We believe real progress has been made and continues to be made to position the Company for the long term, and for sustained growth. Ignoring a proven track record and derailing a positive growth trajectory makes no sense.
In addition, while Clinton is demanding that your Company replace its CEO, it has failed to present shareholders with its own CEO candidate. Shareholders should question the logic behind ousting a proven leader at the insistence of an activist that has not identified a successor.
Clinton Proposal: Change merchandise mix by reducing Jewelry and Watches mix and lowering average selling price
ValueVision Response: ValueVision has already significantly diversified and broadened its merchandise offerings and strategically lowered its average selling price in order to appeal to a much larger audience.
- We have increased our investment in our core and emerging product categories, including a wide range of proprietary and national brands. We have shifted the merchandise mix of Jewelry and Watches from 56% of total sales in 2008 to 43% of total sales in 2013, and invested in our emerging categories of Fashion & Accessories, Beauty, Health & Fitness and Home & Consumer Electronics, which typically attract more new customers and increase purchase frequency.
- Additionally, we have strategically decreased the average price point from $176 to $81 over this same time period, which has broadened the appeal of ValueVision's product offerings to a much wider audience, evidenced by the fact that the Company is serving approximately 1.4 million customers now as compared to 754,000 in 2008. By expanding and diversifying our product mix, our goal is to attract, retain and increase the purchase frequency of new and active customers and to improve our household penetration across roughly 87 million homes.
Balancing and broadening merchandise mix is something that ValueVision's Board and management team already evaluate, refine and enhance every day.
Clinton Proposal: Establish a New York City merchandising presence
ValueVision Response: ValueVision already has a regular merchandising presence in New York City.
- ValueVision merchants and executives regularly travel to New York to meet with potential new suppliers, maintain key relationships with vendors and promote the Company's ShopHQ multichannel retailing brand.
- In addition, we regularly consider the possibility of enhancing our presence in New York with a corporate and merchandising office. In fact, a greater New York presence is part of our long-term capital allocation plans. However, our analysis has demonstrated that the overhead associated with this investment is not the most efficient use of the Company's capital at this time.
ValueVision already has a presence in New York City and shareholders should applaud management for being economical and prudent with its capital resources.
Clinton Proposal: Broadcast live selling events from locations throughout the world employing notable, on-air talent
ValueVision Response: ValueVision already broadcasts live from selling locations periodically in conjunction with significant retail promotional events when we determine that the incremental sales and brand benefit associated with the remote venue support the higher costs of doing a live remote broadcast. The Company collaborates with its vendors to help fund such events when they present the right promotional and financial opportunity. Likewise, ValueVision regularly considers the use of high profile entertainment personalities and the creation of entertainment content. However, the high costs of talent or entertainment production are often difficult to recoup, even through greater product sales. Again, shareholders should ask how Clinton is proposing to fund its ideas.
Clinton Proposal: Marketing the ShopHQ brand
ValueVision Response: The Company has a detailed marketing strategy, as evidenced by the successful transition of its consumer brand to ShopHQ from ShopNBC.
- In developing the ShopHQ brand, ValueVision conducted research and vetting in partnership with a global strategic branding and design firm. The branding and design team worked closely with ValueVision to develop and validate a name and positioning that would resonate with customers. The new brand leverages the business' core identity of "Shop" and layers on simplicity, comfort and strength. It also clearly states the aspiration of making ShopHQ a shopping destination.
- Since our announcement of our brand transition in May 2013, we have successfully marketed the ShopHQ brand on our television network, the Internet and social channels to educate viewers and make them comfortable with the transition.
- Viewers and customers alike are embracing the brand, as demonstrated by customer growth of approximately 20% in 2013. With a customer base that is growing at a greater rate than any other time in our Company's recent history, we will continue to leverage the marketing power of our multichannel retailing platform to promote our distinctive brand and products. In addition, we are building equity in our own unique and compelling brand.
Clinton provides no detail or analysis to support its vague marketing proposals.
Clinton Proposal: Adding programming that involves multiple platforms
ValueVision Response: ValueVision already operates as a multichannel retailer across its TV, Internet, mobile and social platforms, and we continue to grow our Internet and mobile business with expanded product assortments and Web-only merchandise offerings.
- In response to changes in consumer shopping behavior, we have evolved our ShopHQ platform to meet our customers' needs and enhanced the content and functionality of our Internet, mobile and social media channels to attract and retain more customers.
- We launched a new iPad shopping app in the third quarter of 2013 and enhancements to our Android and iPad apps were deployed in fourth quarter of 2013. We have seen strong growth in sales from mobile devices and smart phones as a percentage of total revenue, and continue to achieve strong Internet sales penetration.
- Our digital strategy enables our customers to conveniently watch the broadcast, browse, and purchase product as well as share their thoughts on ShopHQ products and presentations. We believe this experience inspires shopping, builds community, and provides consistency across all channels.
Clinton simply ignores ValueVision's impressive success as a multichannel retailer.
Despite launching a campaign to take control of ValueVision's Board, Clinton has provided no clear strategy for ValueVision. In addition to producing a general promotional video about their plans for ValueVision, Clinton simply describes concepts that are either already part of ValueVision's winning strategy, or presents high-level ideas absent actionable recommendations. Clinton seems to expect that shareholders should first hand it control of ValueVision's Board, and only then would it present a detailed strategy. Do not turn over control of your Company to an activist that may derail ValueVision's success.
Despite a sustained campaign to gain control of ValueVision's Board, Clinton continues to dramatically decrease its holdings in ValueVision shares, which calls into serious question whether Clinton's interests are aligned with those of other long-term shareholders.
Clinton Group has sold more than 550,000 shares in each of the last two quarters and, since peak ownership in late 2013, has reduced its ownership by almost 40%.
ValueVision shareholders should take note that although just two trading days elapsed between Clinton filing its preliminary proxy on May 9, 2014, and its definitive proxy on May 13, 2014, Clinton disclosed in its second filing that it had decreased its beneficial ownership by a further 10,000 shares per trading day. At this rate, how many more shares will Clinton sell before ValueVision's Annual Meeting?
Ask yourself whether you trust the nominees of an activist hedge fund to control the future of your Company, when that hedge fund has decreased its beneficial ownership in ValueVision shares by almost 40%. Considering Clinton's history of selling ValueVision shares, this activist hedge fund may eventually own zero shares in the Company while its slate of nominees seeks control of your Board.
ValueVision's management team, working closely with the Board of Directors, has:
- Significantly diversified and broadened its merchandise offerings;
- Reduced the average selling price to enable customer growth;
- Increased customer count from approximately 754,000 in 2008 to 1.4 million customers now;
- Increased net sales by 6% and net units shipped by 28% in the first quarter of 2014 alone;
- Reduced the cost per home over the last six years from $1.72 to $1.12;
- Dramatically improved the customer experience and satisfaction levels;
- Streamlined company-wide operations;
- Enhanced fulfillment and customer service capabilities;
- Improved the quality of the Company's TV distribution footprint while significantly reducing the cost; and
- Enhanced the stability and flexibility of ValueVision's balance sheet, resulting in stronger financial performance.
Whether or not you plan to attend the ValueVision Annual Meeting, you have the opportunity to protect your investment by voting the WHITE proxy card. We urge you to vote by telephone, online or by signing, dating and returning the enclosed WHITE proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. Please do not return or otherwise vote any Gold proxy card sent to you by the dissident group.
On behalf of your Board of Directors, we thank you for your continued support, and look forward to continuing to deliver superior value to you in the future.

Easy to understand information!,
This review is from: Heaven is for Real for Kids: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back (Hardcover)
The first thing that struck me is how easy it was for my daughter to understand. There were times when she had questions, like when the book talked about no one being sad or mad. She wanted to know what happened if Grandma Great was sad that she's not with us. I told her that she's not sad because she can still see us and she's with God now. Or what happens to old people who die, do they become young and healthy again? Will I need my glasses in Heaven?
If my daughter was a bit older, I would have had her read some of the Bible verses scattered on the page, but for a 6 year old, the book was already just about as long as will keep her attention. Towards the end of the book, she was getting bored and didn't want to hear the answers to any of the questions at the end of the book, such as how is Colton doing now. On the other hand, she asked me if it would be okay if she takes the book to school tomorrow, so she must have enjoyed it!
I think we're going to wind up donating this book to our Sunday School program, I'm just not sure if it will be our copy or another copy! If your kids are asking about Heaven or if you just want to be able to help them understand without them wondering, this is a great book! It's written in words kids understand and doesn't get into details which are over their heads!

Manager and operator of Khalifa Port Container Terminal, Abu Dhabi Terminals (ADT), says it has signed a contract with Borouge, a leading provider of plastics materials, to design, construct and operate a state-of-the-art packaging facility for Borouge's export products at Khalifa Port.
The contract was signed by Abdulaziz Alhajri, CEO of Abu Dhabi Polymers Company (Borouge), and Martijn Van De Linde, CEO of ADT, during a ceremony that took place at Borouge's headquarters in Abu Dhabi. The signing ceremony was attended by Wim Roels, CEO of Borouge's Marketing & Sales Company, and senior management officials from Borouge and ADT.
Khalifa Port explains that it is the primary UAE gateway for Borouge's products to their customers around the world. Based on this agreement, the new packaging facility will enhance Borouge's overall packaging capacity and supply chain network flexibility.
Commenting on the signing of the contract, Abdulaziz Alhajri, CEO Abu Dhabi Polymers Company (Borouge), said "We are delighted to sign this contract with Abu Dhabi Terminals, and we are confident that the advanced packaging solution that ADT is going to provide us under this agreement, will further strengthen our supply chain capabilities and support our growth. In addition to the existing packaging facilities in our Ruwais plant and in our regional hubs in China and Singapore, the new packaging facilities and services in Port Khalifa will give us more flexibility to better serve our customers and achieve our business targets all over the world."
Borouge produces 2 million tonnes of polyolefins at its petrochemical plants in Ruwais and is currently expanding its industrial complex that will be resulted in increasing its total production capacity to 4.5 million tonnes in 2014. The new packaging facility set to be built at Khalifa Port is expected to be completed in early 2015 with a total capacity of 385,000 metric tonnes.

Jan and Larry Turner
* * *
If I am not mistaken, Mr. Anderson is not the only council member to approve the benefits. I'm pretty certain that the majority voted in favor and it passed.
Why isn't the Tea Party trying to drum up enough signatures to recall all the elected officials that voted in favor? In fact, why don't we just recall or petition everything?
I live in District 7 and voted for Mr. Anderson, and he has responded quickly to any concerns of my neighborhood. We are a diverse group that was not being represented in the previous administration when the gang violence was swept under the rug. Mr. Anderson acknowledges and responds to everyone's concerns.
Laugh all you want at the chickens, but there were plenty of people in the district that were flooding his inbox wanting them in their back yards. He did his job and brought it to the council.
Unless you live in my district, you have no dog in the hunt. If you want to gripe, recall your own council person that probably voted in favor of the benefits. I have to wonder if the outside people "helping" are actually city residents. The main "consultant" lives in Hixson and probably doesn't even pay city taxes.

Really? Who cares if Chris Anderson is gay or not? All of this needless war of words is ridiculous, and only continues to embarrass the city of Chattanooga and Hamilton County residents.
For Mr. & Mrs. Turner to advocate that the citizenry of Chris' district are asking for a recall is absurd and uninformed. The only question remains: is Chris Anderson representing the needs and wishes of his constituency? If so, leave him alone. If not, recall him.
I do agree, however, with one point the Turners made -- hold them accountable. If people would get out from behind their computer screens and make an appearance at the City Council meetings, that might make a difference. If people who write senseless gibberish about issues they feel strongly about would take action in some way - through their local Democratic/Republican parties, run for office, ask to volunteer with one or more city/county leaders - they might become more enlightened in the way the city/county is ran. By the way, the citizenry of each city and/or county district has the right to ask for a recall. If you don't like the system, change it.
I don't ask that anyone do anything more than what I have been willing to do. I announced my candidacy for County District 8 Commissioner race, but had to reverse that decision due to sudden and very pressing personal, familial and professional matters.
In other words.....Do something or shut up.

Bullrush is back!
Relevant offers
The beloved, yet forbidden, Kiwi pastime of bullrush is set to return in an open tournament on November 17.
The inaugural TIKA Bullrush Pro-Am Tournament will see hundreds of people test their mettle alongside well-known media and sports personalities all vying for the title of TIKA Bullrush Champion.
Event organiser Sam Ward says the world began going south when Georgie Pie disappeared and teachers at primary schools enforced a bullrush ban back in the early 90s.
"It was a dark day when we could no longer play bullrush. Some of us reverted to playing in secrecy, but it kind of died out," he says.
Mr Ward has employed the help of friends Ben du Chateau, former North Harbour Rugby player Robbie Colhoun and Ben "Jarmo" Sturmfels, in an effort to revive the Kiwi tradition and to support men's health charity Movember.
Movember national manager Robert Dunne says the event is a great fit with the charity - and he is looking forward to taking part in the under-85kg category.
"Bullrush is almost some mystical game people have distant memories of and others never got to experience.
"For one day only there'll be no headmasters telling us we can't play," he says.
Principals banned bullrush after reports of injuries in the late 80s and early 90s.
It has since returned on a few occasions, such as at a Palmerston North primary school in 2009, but has been met with much debate.
"I remember running hell for leather at 20 other guys all wanting to tackle you - it was the most fun you could have at school," Mr Ward says.
"It seems wrong to deny kids the chance to play the great game that was the one thing most of us went to school for."
Special guests on the day will include former Warriors rugby league player Wairangi Koopu, ZM Radio host Jay Reeve and, just possibly, The Crowd Goes Wild personality James McOnie.
Weight, gender and age categories are open for entries and Mr Ward says there's a strict "no d...head policy".
"We don't want to see guys going out to deliberately hurt people.
"We want to keep within the family-friendly spirit of the event."
The outer oval at North Harbour Stadium has been booked for four hours and participants are encouraged to dress up.
"We'll get them running out of the tunnel as their names are announced over the loudspeaker.
"It's real grassroots fun and at the end of the day there'll be a legend born out there on that field."
The TIKA Bullrush Pro-Am Tournament is on Saturday November 17 from 1pm to 5pm at North Harbour Stadium. Go to tikarugby.co.nz and click on TIKA Bullrush to register.

Hosea Gear happy to lead from front
Relevant offers
Hosea Gear is in no hurry to hand over the Highlanders captaincy when Andrew Hore returns from suspension in week three of Super Rugby.
Gear has led the southern franchise through its three pre-season games while Hore sits out the ban he incurred during the All Blacks' end-of-season tour.
A swinging arm knocked out Welsh lock Bradley Davies and earned Hore a five-week break, including the season-ending test loss to the English and three pre-season games he may have played a limited part in anyway.
He will also miss the season opener against the Chiefs in Dunedin on Friday and, with the Highlanders having a bye in the third round, won't be available until the Cheetahs game in Invercargill on March 9.
Gear's tenure has seen the Highlanders pick up a win over the Crusaders in Oamaru, bookended by losses to the Chiefs and Blues.
He scored a hat-trick of tries against the Blues in Queenstown on Friday night, but was on the sideline as Baden Kerr stepped up to kick the winning penalty in the 31-29 loss.
As he signed autographs and posed for photos with fans at the Queenstown Recreation Ground the All Black winger said he'd enjoyed the experience of captaining the Highlanders.
"It's been challenging at times but I'm fortunate that we've got a lot of experienced guys in the side. That definitely takes a load off my shoulders. Trying to get the boys to gel together is the most important thing for me," Gear said.
So is he looking forward to handing the duties over to Hore, who was announced as the Highlanders 2013 captain last year?
"I'm sort of getting used to it, eh," he joked.
"It's like I said, I don't think my role will change much. We are more of a group as opposed to one guy leading the team."
The pressure of the skipper's armband has done nothing to deter Gear from crossing the sideline.
He scored in all three of the Highlanders' trial outings and banked five tries for the pre-season. He will be hoping he can carry that form into the competition proper after struggling to get across the white line last season.
Gear said the Highlanders were disappointed with their first half against the Blues - they let in two early tries and trailed by 16 points just before halftime - before fighting back to lead going into the final minutes.
"The boys showed a lot of character and we talked at halftime about doing the basics."
Highlanders wider training squad member and Otago openside flanker Hugh Blake has joined the franchise's long-term injured list after damaging a shoulder in the trial loss to the Blues in Queenstown on Friday.
Josh Bekhuis and Joe Wheeler also picked up minor knocks in that game, but should be available for selection in the season opener against the Chiefs on Friday.
Meanwhile, the Southern Institute of Technology will continue as the naming rights sponsor for the Stags.

We've had a look at a Pi kit from G.Skill in the past and this kit is different in a few ways. The massive speed on offer means we've got a fan included in the package which sits on top of the RAM, while the modules themselves have a pretty high build quality and some pretty big fins out the top.
While one side of the modules have the G.Skill and Pi series logo, the other has only the company logo along with a sticker that gives us a run down on the modules. You can see that it's a 4GB PC3-17600 kit. As for the rest of the information, we'll break that down on the next page.
Just quickly on the fan that G.Skill has included, we've got a single fan design that will sit straight over the top of our modules when installed. The whole design is plastic and does feel a bit flimsy; I'm not sure if I would say it felt cheap, but I wouldn't want to be too rough with it. Really, though, once you've installed the modules and fan you shouldn't be touching it again anytime soon.

This story is as disturbing to me as the Powell case. A dad should be getting home from work and running and hugging his boy, playing cars with him, taking him to get an ice cream cone or a happy meal, being his hero. A mom should be tender and loving, playing and teaching the little boy. What these two did to this innocent child is beyond troubling and my heart is broken for this little boy. Justice will be served.... Not in this life, but in the life to come. At least this little boy is in the loving arms of his Father in Heaven now where he cannot be hurt anymore.

The mother (and I use that term generically), better also get the death
In my opinion, abusing a child like that is one of the most disgusting crimes and warrants the harshest penalty possible.
I am so greatful that little boy is with his Father in Heaven, where he will never feel pain again. My heart aches for his father too.

This tragic story brought so many tears and feelings of anger toward those responsible..he was only a four-year old child for heavens sakes. There should be no doubt what will happen to them and their worse punishment will be the day they meet with the Lord - his wrath will be their end. I can't get the visions of that precious child out of my mind.

Two wrongs do not make a right. All the death penalty does is evidence the brutality and degradation of American society. These two if found guilty should have their whole lives to think about the evil they have done and a very long time to repent. No society should take the place of God. He gave life and He taketh away. No one else should!

I remember reading about this at the time it happened and just feeling sick. I have 4 year old grandsons and granddaughters, and can't imagine a 4 year old doing anything so horrible that "parents" (which these 2 definitely were NOT) would mistreat a child in this manner. Totally selfish, thoughtless and cruel. My heart aches for Ethan's father, who did not want to send him to his mother, and Ethan didn't want to go, either, as I recall. I hope that justice will be done. Of course, it will be for sure when Nathan and the "mother" die and have to become eternally accountable for their actions. I'm glad Ethan is in a safe place, but it would have been nice if he could have grown up as a happy child and productive adult.

Shakeup at Audi as de Nysschen Departs
The news of de Nysschen's departure from Audi for Infiniti can be viewed in two ways: Audi has hit the wall in terms of near-term growth for either the brand and/or de Nysschen's future or Infiniti offered greener pastures for him.
It's a combination of both, according to some industry insiders. There was some speculation that the reporting structure might be changing at Audi/VW in the United States, which apparently didn't sit well. After all, de Nysschen has been head of the division while it has undergone incredible sales growth.
In fact, one of his last official acts, before announcing he was resigning, was a press release that stated Audi reported record-setting May sales with a 10 percent increase to 11,503 new vehicles sold, marking the 17th consecutive month of unprecedented sales in the U.S. May sales not only represented all-time record total sales for the January-May period, but also marked the fifth-best month ever for the brand, exceeding more than 11,000 in total vehicle sales.
"Consumers are responding favorably to Audi as 17 consecutive months of record-setting sales attests," said de Nysschen. "Audi's progressive luxury and technologically advanced vehicle portfolio continues to set the pace in the high-end sector of the luxury car market."
Now he's hoping to spread some of that magic to Infiniti across the globe. The luxury arm of Nissan was hard hit by the 2011 Tsunami that crippled its production for a while. It is just now returning to strong sales levels thanks to ramped up marketing and production, as well as a great new product in the JX 7-passenger luxury crossover.

Allowing consumers to identify counterfeit goods is a tricky and expensive problem, as many security measures such as holograms might be easily mimicked by counterfeiters. A new nanoscale printing technique, however, allows researchers to create labels that reveal a "watermarked" image when breathed upon by the consumer. The labels are scalable and durable, and can be applied to many surfaces, yet are beyond the hands of those who might try to mimic them to fool consumers. Read More
Billions of cigarette butts are discarded around the world each year and, even when disposed of properly, pose a threat to the environment by leaching arsenic, lead and other nasty chemicals into land and waterways.
