NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 01/17/14 -- Plandaí Biotechnology, Inc. (OTCQB: PLPL) may have just moved to the front of the line in the medical marijuana arena with this week's announcement that can only be described as a blockbuster partnership for the company's future. While other companies in the marijuana space wait on the industry to sort itself out, Plandaí is looking to familiarize the market with its products.
The good news for investors is that the company has chosen to partner with the well-known brand Diego Pellicer, Inc. and Diego Pellicer Worldwide Inc. to use the Diego Pellicer name for its cannabis extracts in medical and pharmaceutical marijuana applications. This deal will give Plandaí's cannabis extracts name recognition, and in these early stages in the arena of public medical marijuana companies that's big time.
Diego Pellicer has been the leading name in cannabis products for over a hundred years, a fact not lost on Plandaí CEO Roger Baylis-Duffield who said, "Being able to sell the Plandaí cannabinoid extracts under the Diego Pellicer name brings immediate name recognition and branding into the medicinal cannabis industry."
Jamen Shively is the co-founder of Diego Pellicer, Inc. as well as the great grandson of the company's namesake. Shively is a brand unto himself. The former Microsoft manager has been outspoken on his plans to build the first retail brand in the United States focused exclusively on legal premium marijuana. He's done just that and has discussed his ideas and plans for the marijuana industry on CNN, ABC News, FOX Business, CNBC, just to name a few.
Shively and Diego Pellicer can certainly help put Plandaí's cannabis products on the map, but it seems Plandaí has impressed Shively as well. "We couldn't be happier with our partnership with Plandaí. Their Phytofare technology appears to be years ahead of the competition as it relates to bioavailability and will help anchor the Diego brand as more states legalize cannabis for medical and/or recreational applications."

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course).

Video: Youtube pulls 'non family safe' gay music ad
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
What's not family safe about that?
Typical. You can have a scantily clad woman in an embrace with a scantily clad man in so many areas of advertising but the same when it is two men is 'adult'. It's pure discrimination and there's no other way to word it.
i don't see them pulling videos of hetero or even girl on girl doing the same thing. DISCRIMINATION plain and simple
Couldn't agree more!!!
Interesting how they've left all the Madonna videos on the site….
I've seen Lynx Adverts pop up before videos which have almost completely nude women running around :S
Don't you remember the one on TV where it was a nude guy prancing around his home? That was ok..apparently!
I dont think its non family safe. Its just a crap ad
artistic merit of the video was not a reason as to why YouTube pull the plug
No, but even so, kane, you have to admit it IS crap! :o)
I like the ad, there's loads of wore ads like go compare etc.
I don't see what is so bad apart from the two guys hugging which would upset all those homophobes that are about,
File Discrimination Lawsuit against Youtube.. that will change their minds about being slaves to the conservatives almighty dollar real quick!
Do you have the money to take on Google… ?
A very warm welcome to free advertising on our behalf. Lovely song thou.
By the way, how come you can't complain to youtube? they don't have anywhere to email in complaints or anything :S
Why do they say 'not family safe' when they patently mean 'not safe for children?' (and I don't think the video fits that definition either).
Families don't just contain people under puberty. Lots of families don't have any.
And how many pictures of bare breasted women do we see on youtube? I'll bet they don't pull tose ads eh.
Not to mention the ones where some over-inflated woman is jiggling her arse directly into the camera whilst grinding her hips!! :o(
Agreed and I'm a lesbian! Can't have one rule for one and not for the other!!!
So it's ok to allow clips etc from TV shows where there is sex. Or musical videos by such artists like Beyonce, or Lady Gaga that has them prancing around in next to nothing (not that I am complaining about Beyonce in next to nothing..just making a point! lol)
This is blatant discrimination!!!
The first Perfume Genius album is brilliant! I can't wait until the next comes out in Feb!
When youtube stops thrusting large breasts on women being smooched by men in my face, then they will have a point. Until then, it's another homophobic double-standard. Stop putting heterosexual imagery in my face or leave the gay imagery online. Strike them both, or strike neither of them.
Christians forcing their views on the public again. When ever you see anything gay stopped by anybody you know it is the Christians behind it stopping it for some homophobic reason or the other. It is time to stop them from forcing themselves on a public that does not want them in their life. Stop the Christian bullies before they stop you.
They are struggling and losing against secularism and reason in the developed world. LGBT is seen as an easier target for them.
Christians forcing their views on the public again? What about homosexuals forcing their views, behaviour and bullying on to the public about being accepted, or is that allowed? One rule for one…
Go and feed yourself to the lions immediately.
Those pesky homosexuals demanding equality and the right not to be denigrated by bl@@dy christians.
Terrible, isn't it….
if we find a link to download it why don't we all try to upload it to youtube, they can't find and stop us all ;)
Totally agree – no reason it's not "family safe" whatever that means.
But I don't even understand why it was pulled at all. I've seen more explicit vids of topless men kissing etc on youtube…
Good look in taking on Google who own You Tube so I doubt anyone would be able to afford a Discrimination Lawsuit against them.
I find the advert to be far more 'family friendly' and a pleasure to watch than some of the stuff that have been uploaded to YouTube and some of which has been shown on Rude Tube. If YouTube takes down all the videos portraying human rights abuses, executions, torture, the list goes on, then they will free up terrabytes of disc space.
Can someone post a link to an equivalent hetero ad on YouTube? I think we need proof that this was discrimination.
YouTube shame on you for discriminating.

Product Description
From the Author
For the life of your Aussie---and the time of your life!
Not your average breed of dog, Aussies are versatile workers and companions. Some earn their keep as working ranch dogs, some as Search and Rescue dogs, some as show, obedience, or agility dogs, but they all more than earn their keep as beloved family dogs. Nonetheless, this energetic and intelligent breed is not for everyone. This book explores the nature of the Australian Shepherd, relating its historical function to its present behavior, with special attention to the type of household in which it may (or may not) flourish. It's not been a history without controversy, and that controversy continues to guide the breed's future today. The most up-to-date advances in behavior, training, nutrition, and medical conditions (especially hereditary problems in the breed) are incorporated in this book as they relate to the Aussie. Special attention is given to training the Aussie to herd, and all of the herding, obedience, conformation, agility competitions available. Chock full of gorgeous color photos showing Aussies at work, play, or just looking breathtaking, you might be tempted to keep this book out of the reach of curious Aussies...but it is an Owner's Manual, and it's meant to be referred to over and over. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This would be a great little book to check out the breed to make sure you want an Aussie in the first place. Also, if you just adopted a puppy or adult and need some quick good info before you go off to buy that $45 Aussie book :)
It's easy reading for adults AND kids!
Still, for the price, it has some useful and interesting information, and I did learn a couple of things. I doubt I will reference it often but I don't mind having it in my collection. However, if I were to only pick one book about this breed, I would definitely select something more comprehensive.
If you are getting a purebred puppy, though, I would definitely recommend this as a good starting point. I still wouldn't consider it to be very comprehensive, but it will give you some good pointers on what traits to look for, what to avoid, and how to care for your new puppy.

Reel World
By Devin D. O'Leary
Political Docs A-plenty—The New Mexico Media Literacy Program is bringing filmmaker Sut Jhally to Albuquerque on Thursday, Aug. 5, to premiere his documentary Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear & the Selling of the American Empire. The film examines how a radical fringe element of the Republican party used the trauma of the 9-11 hijackings to further their pre-existing agenda. The San Francisco Chronicle called the film "sober, yet ultimately uplifting." The screening will take place at 7 p.m. on the campus of Albuquerque Academy in Simms Auditorium. Jhally, a professor of communication at UMASS and the executive director of the Media Education Foundation, will stick around after the screening for a Q&A with audience members. This event is free and open to the public. Log on to www.mediaed.org for more info.

Shyamalan's twisty new fairy tale is guaranteed to disappoint
By Devin D. O'Leary
Director M. Knight Shyamalan is a talented filmmaker. Make no mistake: He's got intriguing ideas, he's good with a camera, he's a master of atmosphere and he's not afraid to take risks. But the guy is so married to his perceived "gimmick" that he's all but squandered his rather significant Hollywood hype.

The Manchurian Candidate
Agenda-driven thriller makes politics one scary business
By Devin D. O'Leary
Back in 1962, the politically charged film The Manchurian Candidate was not your average thriller. Based on Richard Condon's equally cynical book, the film concentrated on a group of Korean War soldiers brainwashed by the U.S. government. In the still patriotic post-World War II era, it was one of the first mainstream films to express a certain distrust in The Powers That Be. In an untimely bit of coincidence, however, the film was pulled from theaters shortly after its release by producer/star Frank Sinatra when President John F. Kennedy was killed by an assassin's bullet (closely mirroring a major plot element in the film). Considered a "hidden classic" until a home video revival a decade or so ago, The Manchurian Candidate remains a prescient political potboiler.

By maintaining a constantly rotating stable of fine comedy and drama—"The Sopranos," "Sex and the City," "Six Feet Under," "Carnivale," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Deadwood"—the network is able to keep viewers glued to the day, even if the top shows are canceled ("Sex ...") or on painfully extended hiatus ("Sopranos"). The newest show to hit HBO's Sunday Night "must see TV" slate is the Hollywood exposé "Entourage."

Comments about 'Poverty TV: Hit UK show stirs welfare debate'

People do not want to face reality when they get into the poverty lifestyle. We all can get into a set pattern and it is difficult to get out of that set way. I cringe a lot of times when I see my friends lose a job and then go on unemployment. They will turn down excellent job offers because they seem to like the paid vacation time. I guess that is okay for awhile but then they get into the entitlement mindset when not working and then their work ethic goes out the window. Of course this doesn't happen to everyone but it is a concern with many people. With their front wheel stuck in a rut it is sometimes difficult to get back on course with their lives.

I know people who have been in subsidized housing for over 30 years. When it has been that long, is it "helping" them or "draining" the taxpayers who have to earn the money to pay for it? When it goes on for over a couple years it becomes less of a safety net and more of a welfare mattress. Too bad the democrats and progressives don't have sense enough to know that simple fact.

Some may abuse the system does not translate to everyone abusing the system. Not all poor are lazy or drug addicts. Poverty is a complex issue with no easy solutions. The scriptures condemn those who despise the poor and needy. Judge not lest ye be judged.

I am tired of subsidizing the 'working poor' around me who never seem
to work and yet have all the coolest cars, electronics and clothes. Welfare
programs are decreasing my standard of living. I am the middle class who is too
rich for my kids to qualify for financial aid, and too 'poor' to pay
for my child's education so they *have* to get academic scholarships or my
children will not be able to go to college. This situation creates a lot of
pressure on our family for them to get straight A's.
Also, I am always amazed when folks quote the "don't judge" scriptures when it applies to a social program and yet when the scriptures are quoted to counter progressive social issues and their harm on society, the scriptures are considered irrelevant.

Also, college students should not be allowed to get federal aid, I know of several couples going to college to be Drs and dentists who are on food stamps! What happened to the day when you went to school during the day and then went to your job at night to support your family? Ugh! Things need to change. Being on welfare needs to be temporary--not an 'easy money' option.

Roy Hodgson ready to risk 'unstoppable and breathtaking' Raheem Sterling in the World Cup [Backpages]
- June 6, 2014
- Comments0
Roy Hodsgon has had a volte-face about Raheem Sterling, according to the scribes present at England training this Friday.
The journos attribute quotes to Hodgson, referring to Sterling's performance at training as 'breathtaking' and 'unstoppable'; and that the Liverpool starlet's been so convincing that he's now decided he has no choice but to 'risk' him at the World Cup'.
"Risk' being the operative word, as young Sterling showed his over-exuberant side on Wednesday night in getting sent off for an impetuous challenge.
But Roy's ready to reconcile with that, apparently, and unleash Raheem on the defences of Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica.

REFRIGERATED CASE DRAIN BLOCKAGE WARNING STRUCTURE Filed July 16, 1965 INVENTORS LESTER E. H I CKOX ARTHUR PEREZ BYU United States Patent C) 3,358,467 REFRIGERATED CASE DRAIN BLOCKAGE WARNING STRUCTURE Lester E. Hickox and Arthur Perez, Niles, Mich., as-
signors to Clark Equipment Company, a corporation of Michigan Filed July 16, 1965, Ser. No. 472,438 8 Claims. (Cl. 62-128) The present invention relates to structure for effecting an early warning or indication of ice in a refrigerated case resulting from blockage of the drain, particularly for refrigerated cases of the commercial type such as commonly used in food stores.
In commercial refrigerationvequipment of the type exempliiied particularly by open refrigerated cases for food products used in lself-service stores, refrigerating air vcooled to a predetermined temperature is circulated through suitable ducts or passages provided in the case and over or across the opening through which access is had to the refrigerated product. In its circulation, and particularly in passing across the opening and thus contacting ambient air, the refrigerating air absorbs moisture whichv subsequently is deposited in the form of frost on the evaporator coils or other means provided for cooling the circulating air, the moisture being condensed and frozen as the air passes over the relatively cold cooling means. To maintain t-he desired heat exchange efficiency, this frost is melted from time to time, and provision is made for draining the resulting waterv out of thecase, since otherwise -it would freeze and accumulate as ice. In operation, however, it often happens that the drain becomes clogged -by bits of food, cartons, or other objects, so that water resulting from defrosting Vor possibly from other causes, such as cleaning of 'the case interior, is trapped and freezes. The accumulation or build-up of ice, if not detected and remedied, will continue until it interferes with'operation of the case to cause refrigeration failure, i.e., failure to maintain the desired refrigerating temperature. This may become apparent `from the condition ofthe food products, or operation of a temperatureresponsive device which warns of undue rise of temperature,v or both. The great accumulation of ice which occurs in such event requires laborious and time-consuming work to remove, and may damage the case. i
The present inventionprovides a construction which is very simple and inexpensive, yet effectively guards refrigerated case in the event of blocking or clogging of against any considerable accumulation of ice within a the drain. More specifically, the construction provides as part of the refrigerating air circulatiiigmeans a duct `orpassage from which thev drain opens, andhaving adja- .cent the drain an effective cross-sectional area adequate for flow of the volume of air required to maintain a pr'edetermined low ltemperature in the case.1Upon blockage lof the drain and consequent accumulation of ice, the
cross-sectional `areaof the passage is progressively restricted to a point at which the volume of air which may vtlowthrough Vthe circulatingmeans is reduced significantly below the ,volume required to'maintain the desired temperature in the case. When the case land its contents thus :become warmed to a point at which an indication is given of the refrigeration failure, investigation will reveal the 'blocked drain and the accumulation of ice. While temperature-responsive warning or indicating devices are commonly used in commercial refrigeration equipment to give indication of failure, in the absence of such av j device the appearance of the interior of the case and its $contents would itself provide an indication of refrigeration failure. Thus melting of frost deposited during normal operation of the case, and/or the abnormal Warmth of the air in the case and of the contents, would be evident to the senses.
'3,358,467' Patented Dec. 19, 1967 by heretofore known constructions. Thus, if two or three weeks were required for sufficient ice accumulation to effect failure in a known case construction, it would require perhaps three or four days of accumulation with the present construction to obtain the results desired.
It is an object of the invention to provide a refrigerated case construction which in the event of ice accumulation results in an indication of such accumulation while the accumulation is still relatively slight.
Another object is the provision of a construction for a case refrigerated by circulated air, in which a relatively slight accumulation of ice in the event of drain blockage prevents circulation of a volume of refrigerating air sufficient to maintain a desired temperature, to cause elevation of temperature and consequent indication of the ice accumulation.
Another object is the provision in a case refrigerated by circulated air of a passage for the air having adjacent a drain for removing water from the case, a crosssectional area limiting the circulating air to a lvolume suficient to maintain a desired temperature in the case, so that only slight accumulation of ice in the case upon blockage of the drain prevents circulation of the necessary volume and effects indication of the accumulation.
Other and further objects, advantages and features of t-he invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the followingdetailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
The single figure is a somewhat diagrammatic crosssectional view of one type of refrigerated case embodying the present invention.
As shown in the drawing, the refrigerated case, generally indicated as 10, comprises a base 11 from which extend vertical end walls 12, only one of which is shown, front wall 13 and rear wall 14, the front and rear walls being connected at their lower edges by a transverse bottom wall 1S to define the pan of the case. The walls and bottom are of hollow construction with a filler or core of insulation indicated at 16, as for example a suit'- able foamed plastic composition. a
A fan panel 17 'extending between theend walls' 12 is supported in spaced relation above `the pan bottom 15 by any appropriate means. The fan panel in this case is shown as extending generally horizontally from adjacent the rear wall 14 to adjacent the front wall, with a vertical offset 18 between its forward and rear portions. The rear portion of the panel 17 has a longitudinal depression providing a trough 19 along thebottom of which are a plurality of apertures or weep holes 20, for a purpose described hereinafter. The space between the pan bottom 15 and the panel 17 serves as a duct or passage for refrigerating air, and communicates with a vertical duct 2'1 defined between the inner face of the rear wall 14 and a vertical panel 22 at the upper end of which is provided a discharge outlet which may take the form of a grille 23. Another duct or passage 24 is delined between the inner face of the front wall 13 and a vertical panel 25 spaced inwardly thereof and having a discharge shown as in the form of a grille 26 or the like. The lower edges of thevertical panels 22 and 25 and the front and rear edges of fau panel 17 are suitably connected to each other.
In the present instance, air is circulated through both of the ducts 21 and 24 s v of the case for return through a common inlet, but the invention is equally applicable to case arrangements in which refri-gerating air flows through one duct and across the case to an opposite duct for return by the latter.
Spaced forwardly of the lower portion of the panel 22 is a partition 27 extending longitudinally between the end walls, with its lower edge spaced above the panel 17, and its upper edge at approximately the same level as the grille 26 of the front duct 24. The partition 27 serves as the rear wall of a product-containing well 28 of the case, which is completed by the panel and the end walls 12, and by a bottom provided by one or more plates 29 removably supported by the lower edges of the partition 27 and panel 25, which may be provided with inwardly extending supporting flanges or other suitable means for this purpose. i
The space between the rear duct panel 22 and the partition 27 constitutes a return air duct 30 in which is suitably mounted means for cooling the air such as an evaporating coil or coils 31. The duct 30, as evident from the ligure, is directly above the trough portion 19 of the fan panel 17, which with the bottom of the well 28 defines a horizontal extension of the duct or passage 30. An aperture 32 in the fan panel accommodates a fan 33 or other air-.moving means suitably mounted thereon as by means of a spider bracket 34 to move air through the duct or passage over the cooling means 31, and through the aperture 32 into the space between the fan panel and pan bottom 15. This space serves as a duct or passage 35 communicating with the lower ends of both of the ducts 21 and 24 to conduct air thereto. While only one cooling means 31 and one air-moving means 33 are shown it will be understood that in practice a plurality of each is employed, depending upon the length of the case.
Extending forwardly from the rear duct panel 22 below the level of the grille 23 and spaced above the partition 27 and well 28 is a shelf 37. At its forward edge, the shelf 37 is provided with an upwardly extending hollow wall 38. The wall 38 is open at its upper and lower edges, and has at its lower edge a generally horizontal extension 39 spaced below the shelf 37 and projecting rearwardly at least to the plane of the partition 27, and spaced thereabove. The hollow front wall 38 of the shelf, together with the extension 39 and shelf 37, defines a duct or passage 40 opening at its lower end directly above the upper end of the duct or passage 30. Air fiowing upwardly in the rear duct 21 and discharged through the outlet grille 23 flows over the shelf and about any products thereon, then enters the upper end of 'the passage 4t) to return under the influence of the fan 33 through the duct 30, aperture 32,.and passage 35 to the duct 21. The space between the upper edge of partition 27 and the rearward extension 39 defines a return inlet 41 through which refrigerating air flowing upwardly in the forward duct 24 and out its discharge grille 26 into and through vthe well Y28 and over and about the products contained therein ultimately passes back to the duct 30 to be recircula'ted by the fan 33 through the passage 35 to the duct 24. The illustrated case 10 in effect has two separate refrigerated spaces and tw-o separate refrigerating circuits, but cooled by cooling means and air-moving means common to both spaces.
The refrigerating air in moving from the respective grilles 23 and26 to the return duct 30 absorbs moisture from the relatively warmer and more humid ambient atmosphere, which condenses upon the cooling means as the air passes thereover, and forms a frost deposit thereon. To maintain the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling means the deposit is removed from time to time. For defrosting the evaporating coil or coils or other cooling means 31, defrost heating means 42, shown in this case as antelectrical resistance rod or rods, are employed. In the present instance, the rod or rods 42 are supported to be discharged therefrom inwardly n on the evaporating coils 31,l and held against accidental displacement by suitable means, such as a plurality of straps 43, only one of which is shown. When the coils are to be defrosted, flow of refrigerant therethrough is halted, and the rods are heated by current applied thereto, while operation of the fan 33 continues so that air is drawn over the rods and warmed thereby to flow over the coils and melt the frost deposit thereon. The resulting water liows by gravity into the defrost trough 19, and through the weep holes 20 onto the bottom 15 of the case. To assure that the water in the trough 19 will not freeze, block the apertures or weep holes 20, and thus begin an accumulation of ice below the coils, heating means 44, which may be of low wattage, are provided below the cooling means 31. The means 44 is shown in this case as an electrical resistance rod or rods 44, supported on straps or brackets such as shown at 45, to which they 'may be secured by suitable clips or like means 46. The water resulting from defrosting of the refrigerating coil fiows along the bottom of the case to a drain gutter or trough 47 which extends longitudinally of the case and is inclined downwardly from the opposite ends towards a central portion thereof. The trough 4'7 is located intermediate the front and rear walls, and the pan lbottom 15 inclines from the front and rear downwardly to the trough. Located at the low point of the trough is a drain 48 through which the water resulting from defrosting of the coils, as well as any water which may otherwise be found in the case, is removed from the case 10. Any suitable conduit means may be connected to the drain 48 to conduct the water to an appropriate disposal point. It will be noted that the drain 48 opens from the passage 35 through which air is conducted to the ducts 21 and 24.
As already explained, if the drain 48 is clogged or blocked, the water which normally would leave the case 1t) therethrough is trapped, and quickly becomes frozen because of the low temperature of the refrigerating air. Ice thus accumulates in the case, and increases with each defrosting of the refrigerating coils. In addition, operation by its warming effect on the air Abeing circulated, may cause melting of at least a portion of the accumulated ice, which again freezes when the refrigerating operation is resumed. Thus there is not only an accumulation of ice in the case which is difficult to remove if not detected while still slight, but the effect of repeated freezing and thawing of the ice which may result in such stresses on the case structure as to cause serious damage. The present invention provides novel means for early detection of the accumulation of ice within the case, so that corrective measures may be taken while the condition may be remedied easily, and before any damage to the case has been occasioned. To obtain this result, the present invention provides the passage 35, adjacent the drain 48, with an effective cross-sectional area allowing substantially only the volume of refrigerating air to be circulated which has been ascertained to be required for a particular desired temperature in the case 10. In the illustrated embodiment of the invention, this means takes the form of a baie 50 which is mounted in any suitable manner in the passage 35 to extend downwardly across the passage along one longitudinal edge of the drain trough 47. The baffle is shown as a generally Z-shaped panel of sheet metal to allow of its securernent by rivets or other means to the vertical offset portion 18 of the panel 17, as at 51. The lower edge of the bafiie is spaced Vfrom the bottom of the pan by a relatively slight distance, which may be only a fraction of an inch, depending upon the volume of air which is just, or only slightly more than, su'icient to maintain the desired low temperature in the case, and specifically in the well 28. The area of the gap or aperture 52 defined between the baffle 50 and the pan bottom 15, or in other words the effective cross-sectional area of the passage 35, allows fiow of such Volume to and through the forward duct 24 with air-moving means of a given capacity. If blockage occur-s in the drain and ice accumulates within rthe appearance of the case as operation of the case continues, the cross section of the passage 35 adjacent the drain 48 becomes restricted by the ice as it accumulates and mounts toward the top of the passage 35. This reduction in area reduces the circulation of refrigerating air to a-nd through the well 28 to less than the volume necessary to maintain the desired temperature. Consequently, the temperature in the well rises, and the products contained in the well become Warmer than desired. The temperature ordinarily does not rise to that of the ambient air, but becomes high enough to be readily sensed by the hand when reaching into the well 28 to select or remove some of the products contained therein, and/ or may be noted visually because of a change in the appearance of the well or prod-uct, as perhaps by melting of frost deposits which occurred during operation at the desired well temperature. While such indications of the temperature rise are effective, a more positive means is available in devices which are commonly used to respond to rise in temperature of refrigerated cases and actuate 'an electric circuit or other means for giving an audible, visual, or other warning thereof. Such a device is indicated at 53 in the well, with electrical conductors thereof indicated at54 for connection to a suitable warning-means such asthe bell 55 the device 53. A similar device '53 may be employed in the space above the shelf 37 to warn of a rise in temperature at that location, as distinct from the well 28, and
in a circuit controlled by Vconnected to the bell 55er another warning means.
When an indicationtof the undesired rise in temperature of the welland its contents is perceived, whether it be thefproduct and well, the sensing of the relative warmth by the skin of the hand, or the signal given as a yresult of actuation of the warning device 53 in response to the higher temperature, investigation of the reason for the refrigeration failure follows logically. Such investigation will of course reveal the accumulation of the ice and its cause, whereupon the ice and the material causing the blocking of the drain may then be re- `movedand proper operation of the case 1t) restored.
Remedying of the difficulty is relatively simple and easy, because the. warning indication is` given relatively soon after inception of the trouble, or. in other words while the ice accumulation is still relatively slight, by reason of the provision of the passage 35 with a cross-sectional area adjacent the drain which is not much, if at all, more than adequate or suiiicient for circulation of the predetermined volume of refrigerating air which will maintain the desired temperature in the well 28. Thus only a slight restriction of the gap S2 will be reflected by an increase in the well temperature, which initially may be relatively insignificant, but which rise will continue as continued ice accumulation further reduces the cross-sectional area of the passage 3S, until the higher well temperature results in an indication that the refrigeration is inadequate, as by causing actuation of the warning device 53. It will be evident that in the absence of the baffle 50, the ice accumulation would have substantially to close the passage 35, or interfere with operation of the air-moving means, before any appreciable effect of increased temperature in the well 2S would occur, after which an additional period would necessarily elapse before the increased temperature resulted in an indication which would lead to discovery of the ice accumulation in the bottom of the case.
It will be apparent that it is not necessary to provide for any indication to be given in the space above the shelf 37 after the accumulation of ice in the bottom of the case. It will also be evident that if the drain 48 were located between the air-moving means 33 and the rear duct 21, the baille 50 would be located adjacent the drain, in such position as to limit to the predetermined volume the quantity of refrigerating air flowing to and through the duct 21. In such case, a relatively slight ice accumulation would result in a rise in temperature in the space above the shelf 37, of which indication would be given after only relatively slight accumulation by a change in the appearance of the product or of the structure adjacent the shelf, by a warm sensation on the hand when reaching for. a product on the shelf, or by the temperature-responsive warning device 53 in the space above the shelf. The temperature in the well 28 then would not be affected by the ice accumulation.
It will be evident that instead of employing the baffle 5t), the desired cross-sectional area of the passage 35 may be obtained by other means, as by so dimensioning the duct or passage that the walls thereof define the desired area adjacent the drain 48. It will furthermore -be evident that the bafe S0 may, if desired, be so arranged as to extend within the trough 47, so that an even smaller accumulation of ice would result in an indication as hereinabove explained, since it would not be necessary for ice to ll the trough 47 before it would become effective in restricting the gap 52. The bat-lie 50 is shown as arranged outside of the drain trough in order to avoid interference with access to the drain 48. In this connection, depending upon the particular case construction involved, it might be possible to have the baffle 50 depend into the trough, with a central portion thereof oifsetaround the drain 48, so as to avoid interference therewith.
It will be understood that the embodiment of the inventive concept illustrated herein is exemplary and not exhaustive, and that'the invention is not limited to such embodiment, since modifications and variations thereof, some of which have been pointed out hereinabove, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Mobile orders are no longer smaller than those placed via computers.
During the holiday seasons preceding 2012, orders placed on smartphones and tablets at the 70 clients of e-commerce services provider PFSweb Inc.were smaller—in both dollars and number of products—than orders placed on desktop computers. 2012 marked a complete reversal of this trend.
The average order value for orders placed on mobile devices at the 70 brands—mostly apparel and consumer packaged goods—was $110 between Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2012, Nov. 23-26, PFSweb reports. The average order value for orders placed on desktop computers was $90. What's more, mobile orders on average contained more products per order.
"You would have expected orders larger and more complex to come primarily in a desktop entry not on smartphones or tablet devices, but this holiday season we saw larger average order value and more units per order on mobile," says Mark Layton, CEO of PFSweb. "This can only be attributed to consumers becoming much more comfortable using their devices to shop, and to super-users of smartphones and tablets who are transferring things they used to do on a desktop computer to smartphones and tablets."
What makes the reversal even more interesting is that the vast majority of PFSweb's brand clients do not have mobile commerce sites or apps. Only a handful have m-commerce sites for smartphones or responsive web design sites, which tailor web site content to fit the screen of the device requesting the site, regardless of size or shape. So that means the vast majority of mobile orders were placed on tablets and smartphones on the full e-commerce site, which can be tricky to maneuver on a smartphone.
And there were more smartphone shoppers than tablet shoppers over the 2012 Thanksgiving holiday weekend for PFSweb clients, which include Kate Spade, Sephora USA Inc., Lego Brand Retail Inc., Kiehl's, Lucky Brand and Proctor & Gamble. 18% of all visits to the 70 brands' sites that weekend were on smartphones, up 16% compared to a typical week, PFSweb reports. 11% of all visits were on tablets, up 15% compared to a typical week. Year-over-year growth in smartphone traffic, orders and engagement outpaced tablet growth, the company says, though declines to reveal further statistics.
There is a major shift occurring in web traffic—the future is mobile, Layton says. Thanksgiving weekend 2012 for the 70 clients saw 29% of total traffic stemming from mobile devices; for the same weekend in 2013, mobile traffic will likely hit 40%, he adds.
"During the next year or so many of the e-commerce platform providers will be offering responsive design and more retailers will be offering responsive sites, and that will allow shoppers to have access to more sites in a very usable format on these smaller devices," Layton says. "You combine this with the momentum we're seeing in more and more consumers becoming more comfortable with using mobile devices and you will see an increase in the mix over the next several years in the use of iPads and smartphones for not only browsing but placing orders."

Love in the Wild (Season 2)
Exclusive: Ryan Smith talks about his time on 'Love in the Wild' (Part 2)
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 07/12/2012
Love in the Wild
contestant Ryan Smith was eliminated during last Tuesday night's broadcast of the NBC reality dating competition's fifth second-season episode.
Ryan was ousted from the show after his partner Jenna Gillund decided they should only move forward as friends and intentionally put them in danger of elimination in the "unmatched area." Ali Leitza had a chance to choose between Ryan and Jesse Wilson at the end of the Couples Choice Ceremony but opted out of the opportunity and chose to go home instead.
On Monday, Ryan, a 27-year-old from Boise, ID who currently resides in San Francisco, CA, talked to Reality TV World about his
Love in the Wild
experience and what his relationship with Jesse was like -- including whether he actually thought Ali was going to pick him in the end and why he wasn't disappointed she didn't, whose side he took in the Kenneth Barrington versus Jesse fight, and why he thought Jesse didn't do anything disrespectful or offensive when it came to his short relationship on the show with Tara Locke.

More Love in the Wild (Season 2) News
Below is the concluding portion of our exclusive interview with Ryan.
Click here
to read the first half.
Reality TV World: When it was Ali's turn to choose between you and Jesse in the "unmatched area" or send herself to the "unmatched area" and go home, what was going through your mind at that point? Did you think there was a chance she might pick you and were you disappointed at all that she didn't?
Ryan Smith
Not at all. Ali and I pretty much knew that we were -- I mean, there was no chemistry there. There was no attraction, I don't think, both physical or emotional or anything. I think we were just friends and we knew that at this point in the show, for us to go on, it wouldn't make sense and it would be better if we just kind of parted ways.
Reality TV World: It kind of seemed like Jesse had his "intimate relations" with Tara and then kind of lost interest in her afterwards. Do you think Jesse was, for lack of a better term, a player or maybe on the show to hookup with girls rather than find a serious girlfriend? What was your opinion of him while you were on the show?
Ryan Smith
Yeah, absolutely not. Jesse and I are buddies to this day and we will continue to be. I think he kind of got a bad rep. I think with that situation with Tara, it was two attractive people and they shared that intimate encounter. People on the show acted like that has never happened in the history of the world.
But the thing is, Jesse from Day 1 has shown interest in Ali, and that was his girl. He had a thing with Tara, and unfortunately it was kind of broadcasted through the cast and on the show, and it really shouldn't have been. It should've been their business, so I think he definitely was portrayed a little -- you know, worse than he actually is as a person.
Reality TV World: So when Jesse had that big blow-up fight with Ken at the Couples Choice Ceremony, did you take Jesse's side or did you see Ken's arguments as being equally, if not more so, valid?
Ryan Smith
Yeah I mean, they both had valid points, but I definitely was leaning more towards Jesse just because I had kind of gotten to know him a little bit better. I understood the situation. I understood what was going on. Ali picked [Benjamin Clark], but Jesse knew that Ben and [Michelle Sacco] shared this connection.
So in fact, Jesse could've gone home, but that would've ruined Ben and Michelle's chance of getting to know each other better. And so, instead, he did the right thing and picked Michelle. He had no interest in romantically getting to know Michelle. He did that for a single reason.
Reality TV World: Looking back to earlier in the season, why did you decide to keep Natalie Korzon over Summer Mack earlier in the season? And Summer seems to have gone through a few partners leading up to pairing up with "Chase" Aaron Chase. So why do you think that was? Do you think she was just trying to get to know all the guys better?
Ryan Smith
There was a lot of strategy going on that's kind of behind-the-scenes with that ceremony. Summer and I, we were better as friends and we kind of understood that from moments after the challenge, I think, was the time when we were both kind of on the same page.
And then I had this attraction towards Jenna. And like I said, keeping Natalie at that point was just more of a strategic [move] rather than a favoritism over Summer or her, if that makes sense.
Reality TV World: Okay, so it didn't really have much to do with the connection you were feeling towards Natalie at all?
Ryan Smith
Um, not so much. Looking back, I definitely wish I would've kept Natalie over everyone, because I was definitely attracted to Natalie, and even more so attracted to her personality and just kind of the person she is. But I was blinded by another girl and that kind of led me astray. (Laughs)
Reality TV World: Based upon what I've learned from your fellow contestants, it was obviously Ken and Yanina Beccaria who seemed to be the best match and had the biggest potential to make it as a couple. However, while you were on the show, which couple did you see having the best chances of actually winning
Love in the Wild
? While Ken and Yanina got along great, did you see them being athletic enough and having a strong enough team dynamic to beat everyone else in the last adventure if they made it that far?
Ryan Smith
Yeah, I think Ken and Yanina definitely have one of the strongest in both -- I think last season, I think [
Mike Spiro
] and [
Samantha Woods
] got paired up in the very beginning and they ended up winning it, and I think that goes a long way. I think Ken is athletic enough and he's a motivator, and Yanina can hold her own too. So I think, together, they have the tools definitely to go all the way.
Reality TV World: Why did you originally apply to go on
Love in the Wild
? Were you really looking for love or just a fun experience, the adventure, or maybe a combination of things?
Ryan Smith
Yeah, you know, I think it was a combination of things. Well, first of all, I actually had no real interest in going and doing an experience like this. And so, I was actually approached in a bar and got into a conversation with a lady that worked for a scouting agency, and she said, "Come interview!"
And I'm like, "You know what? Screw it. Like, what an opportunity just to interview!" And obviously, it progressed to me being on the show, and I really went on the show to compete and have a good time and the adventures looked like a blast but also, not necessarily to find love, but to find someone that would be fun to do these adventures with and hopefully develop something. But I never went into it with that sole goal of finding love, I guess.

Customer review by LivoniaGrandma
I bought these towels for my grandchildren to use after swimming. Our "adult-size" towels were big and heavy for them. They would drag on the ground and become very dirty. If you are looking for luxury towels, these are not for you. They are thin and smaller in size. However, they are just right for kids and dry quickly between dips in the pool.
Customer review by chiazldy
I'm using the beach towels as covers for my wicker cushions on the patio. They really are bright and and look great. Could'nt find a cover for my good faded cushions. We're talking 21x19 cushions. To replace the cushions would be over $100.00 each. Plus can change colors cheep. Would recomend them highly.

Our elders can be a source of information, history, happiness, and tradition. However, older adults do not always receive the fair treatment they deserve.
1 in 8 Americans are senior citizens. It's easy to overlook such simple tasks as going shopping at the grocery store or taking the dog for a walk, but for the elderly population this can be impossible without the help of others. And when help isn't available, it can be difficult to live a normal life.
There are over 27,000 nonprofits working to support seniors. Volunteer with organizations that advocate for the rights and needs of the elderly at nursing homes, offer transportation for seniors, and help them care for their pets.
