He provided them with the checking account number but did not know the routing number. The person on the phone told him that she could find the routing number. She then called him back and gave my husband the routing number that she had obtained and asked my husband if it was correct. My husband told her to call back later on that evening, but she didn't.
On January 9th, I attempted to call the number that she gave my husband and I kept getting a answering message. When I finally got someone one the phone, I told them that my husband did not was conned into this and that someone at your company was identifying themself as a US Government worker.
I tols this person that was against the law and that if the someone was to receive a grant from the government, they would not be charges. I requested to speak to a supervisor, but could not take to one. I told them that we were not interested and that I am not authorizing any draft from my account.
When I got off the phone with them, I called my bank and did a stop payment on any electronic draft that might go thru for $49.95. The only problem I had was I did not know the name of the company that was going to do the draft, but my bank went ahead and stopped everything going thru for $49.95.
Apparently, the company could not get an debit thru because they did not have the correct routing number. Because the company still had my checking account number, they went ahead a processed a hard copy check the a fictitous number. The bank processed the check on January 20th.
I finally got a letter with some REQUEST form coupons on January 23, 2006. The letter stated that when I get the package containing the Government Information and Health Insurance, I had 7 day to review it and to call them to cancel or I will be debited $299.95.
I called them and told them that I had requested cancellation on January 9th and that I did not authorize this. All the guy would tell me is, I can let you listen to the recording of the authorization that was given to debit my checking account. He then told me that I was way pass the 7 days and that my $299.95 was drafted from my account on January 25, 2006.
I kept asking him if he was comprehending what I was trying to say. I told him that they were fraudulently using the US Government's name to scam people. He insisted that they are a legit company and that "I can let you listen to the voice recording of the authorization that you gave to debit your account." I then told him who authorized the $299.95, because I did not and again he repeated the same phrase.
I went to the bank this morning to close my account prior to call this company. My bank was very helpful. They are going to credit my acount and process an unauthorized check. When the guy told me that they drafted $299.95 from my account on January 25, 2006, I called my bank up to let them know what was going on.
I called the Florida Attorney's General Office (phone number deleted - see below) today and filed a complaint againt Advantage America. The AG Office stated that this is also under federal investigation and gave me the number to the Federal Trade Commission (phone number deleted - see below). I email and lodged a complaint with them too.
My advice to everyone is:
1. Do not give out personal information to someone calling you and asking for the information.
2. You need to call you bank and close the account. They will do whatever it takes to debit money from your account.
3. Let people you know about what's going on. I thought that this would never happen to me, but it did.
4. The Federal Government will not ask you for money if they are going to give you money. They will not ask you for personal information over the phone, everything is usually in writing.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

Some more advice
AUTHOR: Alma - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 30, 2006POSTED: Monday, January 30, 2006
- To get any kind of federal founded grants the applicant has to fill out many papers, submit supporting documents, etc. There is no way that somebody does not remember to apply for them.
- The recipients of the grants get WRITTEN notice, but in the MOST cases the money is going to the recipient's college, research group, company not directly to him/her.
- The list of recipients usually public.
- Grants are never require any kind of fee, bank info, etc.
The most important: NEVER EVER give out your credit card, checking account, personal info to ANYBODY who calls you. Request the info in mail or request a phone number to call back. (Then search the company, agency.)
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Valentine's Day can be annoying, even if you have someone in your life. But if you can see past the corporate cards and necessary relationship affirmation, there's a good message underneath. It's important to be upfront with those you care about, and take time out of your schedule to share with them. To that end, we've bound together a few apps that help couples communicate. These apps are all meant to help strengthen romance and relationships.
Updated on 2-9-2015 by Simon Hill: Added Loving – Couple Essential, You&Me, Couplete, Kindu, and LoveByte apps, and suggestions to final section.
Loving – Couple Essential
You won't be surprised to find that this free relationship app allows you to privately share text and voice messages, as well as photos, but it does have a few unusual features. You can see when your partner is awake or sleeping, and you can wake them up with an alarm. Then there's the "Aunt Flo" feature, which let's you know when your girlfriend or wife gets her period. It's a good-looking app and the free Wi-Fi calls, private texting, and photo album make it worth checking out.
Here's a good-looking, private messaging app for you and your partner. You can send simple text messages, voice messages, and videos. There are also options built-in to help you customize your photos with text, frames, and filters. You can create photos together and edit your partner's photos. Your relationship is organized into shared memories as you use the app. You can even build a shared soundtrack.
Available on iOS
You'll find a solid mix of the usual features here. You can chat and share photos privately, send love letters, create a relationship story, and sync your calendar for important dates. The "Wishbox" is a nice idea that enables you to sync to-do lists and find good ideas on what to do together. You can even add the app to your lock screen for a shortcut to your partner.
Available on Android
If you want to find a way to delve into your partner's deepest desires without having to interrogate them in person, then you could use this sexy icebreaker. There are all sorts of questions about everything from sex toys to love-making positions. The idea is that you mark them definitely, maybe, or no, and then the app checks your answers and shows up all the matches.
This couples messenger is packed with features to help you record your relationship. There's a shared homepage and a time line where you can add photos and notes. You can also chat privately, use it to locate your partner, and set date reminders. There are lots of suggestions for possible gifts and ideas for your next date. You can set a passcode to keep prying eyes out.
You'll find a private, secure place for two on Avocado. You can share a calendar, lists, photos, and even doodles in this app. There's also a built in messenger, although it's not as snappy as some of the best messaging apps on the market. It keeps an archive of your relationship, has a minimalist UI that's pretty attractive, and proper support for tablets.
Here's another option for private 1-to-1 chats. You can share text messages, a calendar, photos, memos, and voice mails in Between. Uploaded photos are automatically organized into a timeline and you can comment on them. Cute touches include a counter listing the days since you met and a Memory Box for saving really special photos or memos. It's a good looking, robust, and easy app to use.
This private real-time messenger also allows you to share videos, photos, and voice messages. There's a wide range of stickers, you can sketch together in real-time, and you can even make calls within the app. There's a shared calendar, you can share your location, and there are suggestions for date night. The secret photo option allows you to send a snap that will auto-delete. One unusual and totally unique feature is dubbed ThumbKiss; it lets you to touch your phones simultaneously and make them vibrate.
Twyxt is a messenger for two. It has unique emoticons and lets you save special messages and photos in a "Keepsake" section. The best feature is probably the automatically generated calendar of your relationship, which is good for sharing lists and event details. Best of all, it's completely private with optional PIN protection.
Free Greetings Cards
If you're a little late to the game this year, or hate wasting paper, then an e-card might be your best option. This app allows you to put together your own cards using personal photos. Add the text you want and then send cards via email or social media. You'll also find a number of template cards to use and there's a large Valentine's section, but you may need to subscribe to get access to everything.
Available on Android
Other apps to enhance the romance
Use apps like Kayak, Field Trip, TripIt, Hotel Tonight, OpenTable, and Foodspotting to organize short breaks, surprise holidays, and meals out. If you want to cook a meal, try Epicurious.
If you don't have a date for Valentine's Day then check out Smacktive for Android or iOS, it will help take your mind off romance and organize a sporting outing with a potential new friend.
You'll find loads more great ideas for nights in, nights out, and trips in our full roundups of the Best iPhone Apps and the Best Android Apps.

DIY Recipe | Pumpkin Spice Lattes
For Holiday Entertaining at Home
This season, gather round the fireplace with family and friends, and enjoy your pumpkin lattes at home. Add crushed ice cubes and straws if you want to serve a trendy "frappuccino" do-it-yourself frozen alternative.
Looking for a low-cal option? Consider using Jordan's sugar-free pumpkin pie skinny syrup.
1 tablespoon pumpkin puree
1 cup milk
1/2 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg
(plus a pinch for dusting later)
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cups strong coffee
(or espresso)
4 tablespoons coffee creamer
4 to 8 teaspoons sugar
Whipped cream
Begin brewing the coffee. In a blender puree the milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour into a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the milk is warm and begins to froth slightly. (About 4-5 minutes.) Remove from heat.
For each serving: Pour 1/2 cup of the pumpkin mixture into your coffee mug. Add 2 generous tablespoons of coffee creamer. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, then add 1 cup of brewed coffee. Add 2 to 4 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Top off with a touch more 'pumpkin milk' then cover with whipped cream and sprinkle with nutmeg. Serve immediately.

My account was debited $200.00 for a credit card. I recieved a packet instead. We were told that we had to establish credit through their catalog first.
I made an order. $150.00 dolars later, I found out I had been ripped off. I never received any of the items ordered, and my family had no Christmas.
May God Bless Them the way they blessed us.

become a holding midfielder??? I solemnly pledge never to give this #$%$ a chance again!
Dunno bud, but Welbeck's 7.6m is suddenly looking a bit tasty eh? Trouble is, he's so inconsistent... ie he gets his 'usual' brace when nobody has him! Although I'm sure someone mentioned him on here on Friday, just after the RVP news? Wonder if he/she bought him? Have I just bought him? lol... yeah, but... not entirely convinced, although the way the Hammers defend away, he might be worth risking.

Skill Level Intermediate
So at this point, we not only know about the great power of being able to apply attributes to groups, we're also acutely aware of what can happen if we ungroup something that has an attribute applied to that group--meaning that attribute disappears. So, how do we work around that issue? For example, say I'm working in this file right here. It's groups_2.ai, as we can see right over here, and have a lovely motif over here that has a drop shadow applied to the group. If I click on this, I can easily see in my Appearance panel that I have a group, there are contents with in that group, but there is a drop shadow that basically encompasses the entire group itself.
One thing to note, by the way, is that the drop shadow is not being applied to the contents here. The contents are listed here, but notice that there is, like, no eyeball. There's, like, no listing here. It's almost like we skip over that area. Illustrator is letting us know right now that the drop shadow is being applied to the group, and oh, by the way, there are some contents that are in here inside of that group. Now, if I take a look at the Symbols panel inside of this document, I have here a flower, and I have also leaf. And say I want to add a third flower and maybe an additional leaf to this document as well.
So I am actually going to drag our a flower here on to this artboard. Let's put it right above here, and let's take one of these leaves and maybe we will go ahead and rotate this leave just a little bit like this. I'm just using the Rotate tool. The R key is the keyboard shortcut for the Rotate tool. So I have these pieces of art nicely positioned inside of my document, but the problem is is that these elements that I've just now added to my document are not part of this overall group. In other words, because this entire group over here had the drop shadow applied to it, these new elements that I've now applied do not have a drop shadow on them.
But I need those elements to have a drop shadow. I want those elements become part of the group. Now I can simply just take all these elements now and choose to create a new group. In doing so, I am creating a brand-new container that contains the existing container that has a drop shadow on it, and the new elements. So it won't add the drop shadow to the new group. Now in the past, because of the way that we always thought about groups before, what I probably would do is take this element right here at this group, ungroup it--use Command+Shift+G or Ctrl+Shift+G to actually ungroup the artwork-- then reselect everything. And now I'll create a brand-new group again by pressing Command+G or Ctrl+G. However, in doing that process, as you can see, I've blown away that drop shadow, and if I didn't pay attention to what the settings were for that drop shadow, I would have to find some way to understand what that exact same drop shadow was, and replicate it.
Now, in this example here I'm using a very basic drop shadow, but I am actually going to use the very complex appearance. For example, before we were using some really complex paths that had maybe four or five different strokes applied to them. So obviously this is not going to work. So I'm going to press Undo a few times. I want to go back to the example before where I don't actually have any artwork at all on my document, except for the original group, which has a drop shadow applied to it-- in other words, before I actually drag that to any of the symbol. What I'm going to do as when I am going to use my regular Selection tool here and I'm going to double-click on the group.
This is going to activate a mode called Isolation mode inside of Illustrator. What I've just done now is I've actually isolated just this group. You can actually see that I am in Isolation mode, because at the top of my screen over here, at the top my document window, I actually have a gray bar. And the gray bar alerts me that currently I'm inside of layer 1, and I'm looking at the Group that is inside of layer 1, meaning I've currently isolated now this group. Now, if there are other objects inside of my document, I will see that those objects get grayed out.
Just to give you an example, I'm going to double-click on a blank area here to exit Isolation mode. Then I'll create some kind of background, just a regular rectangle here, and I'll send this to the back. Let's choose Object > Arrange > Send to Back, and let's go ahead now and apply let's say a color-- maybe this kind of dark blue color here. And that now is a background for this piece of artwork. I just want to show you if I used a regular Selection tool now to double-click on the group to isolate the group, you see how now that background is kind dimmed back somewhat? It's no longer full strength.
When I isolate something Illustrator, automatically dims back all the other artwork inside of my document, and more importantly, it also locks it. Notice that even though I didn't lock that other background color, I can't select that object right now. The only thing that I can select are elements within my isolated group. Now if you really understand what a group is--remember that we said a group is a container--then we can imagine ourselves right now that since we've isolated the group, we are now actually inside of that group, meaning we are physically sitting inside of the container.
What's really interesting about this concept is the following. I am actually going to double-click here for a second to exit Isolation mode. Notice now I am using my black Selection tool. If I click on any of these objects right now, the entire group becomes selected. However, if I double-click to isolate the group and now I click on that same leaf, the entire group does not become selected; only this leaf becomes selected. Now, if you know how this Selection tool works inside of Illustrator, that might seem little odd to you because the Selection tool will always select the entire group--but not when you're already in the group.
You see, if I'm already inside the group, it makes no sense to select everything by clicking at one of the objects. So one of the real benefits of Isolation mode is that by isolating a group, I now can actually edit each of the individual objects within that group using the regular Selection tool. Let's go back here to the Symbols panel and actually drag out let's say this flower right here. Notice that as soon as I drag out the flower, the flower gets a drop shadow. It becomes merged with the rest of the elements that are inside the group, and the drop shadow now takes on the actual boundaries of this new flower.
If I add now a leaf as well and I drag, let's say, that out about here--I will actually hit the R key for the Rotate tool and kind of rotate it just like this-- notice that the leaf now automatically has a drop shadow. Why? Because I am directly adding these objects into the group. Because I've isolated my group first and now I'm inside that container, anything that I now add--if I draw with a Pen tool, or I draw some shapes using let's say the Rectangle or the Ellipse tool, or I start adding art work using symbols, or I even copy and paste elements--those elements all get added directly inside of the group, meaning they now take on the attributes that are applied to that group.
In this case, that's the drop shadow. Now if I'm done editing, I can now simply switch back to my regular Selection tool to double-click on any area outside the group. Or if I want to exit Isolation mode with a keyboard shortcut, I can simply tap the Escape key on my keyboard. So you can now see that if I click, all the elements becomes selected because they are now inside of that group, they all take on the group's attributes, and I've been able to successfully add elements to a group without blowing away any of its attributes.

Talia and David Shire Sort of Talk It Out and Kind of Decide That Maybe They Ought to Separate
David: It's a very positive and loving separation. We have a 3-year-old child, Matthew Orlando, whom we both love, and I eat dinner with them four or five times a week. It is our marriage that was not working, not our careers. We've both been busy.
(He is working on a TV special, a Broadway musical and has completed three movie scores. She is shooting Rocky II, her third film this year.)
Talia: Our marriage was into the clinging stage. Now we are into distancing. We're going to rotate the house and we even rotate the cars. We've been separated for four months, and it's a growing experience.
David: We're seeing other people...
Talia: ...but not a lot. I don't have a lot of time to invest in relationships. We knew that would be part of the separation. And it's okay, but seeing other people...
David: ...was not the purpose of the separation, but a by-product of it.
Talia: Maybe this is the new age in marriage. We needed a breather. At first when we separated I started to get angry at David, and then we both started to laugh at each other. We realized that the ground rule for the separation was respect. We need to think and grow. If it doesn't work out, I'm still going to be Talia Shire; I'm not going back to being Coppola.
David: And I'll still be David Shire.
Talia: I want David to score all my movies, 'cause he's the best.
David: And I want her to star in my movies, 'cause she's the best.
A final question: Is Henry Winkler "the other man"?
Talia: God, no!

Marina told me I was guranteed to get $5000 to help pay off bills. This was great news because I am a student and every little bit helps. She then mentioned a fee of 299.
To clarify I asked her if she said $2.99, but she informed that it was $299. I told her I didn't have that kind of money. She then told me the money was scheduled to be taken out March 22nd, 2007. However, if I called two business days prior to this the money would not be taken out.
She left me with the impression that they would wait until I got my $5000 to take their fee out. I called March 20, 2007 and no one answered. I waited a bit then called back. Still no answer so I left her a message with my name phone number, and the recording number she gave me. I then called again that day and still no answer.
I called back once agian the day the money was scheduled to be taken from my account. They still did not answer so I left another message with all the information the same as the last begging them not to take the money out.
Well March 28, 2007 $299 was taken out of my account. I have spent all of today March 29, 2007 trying to get my money back. Marina told me that she had answer, but could not tell me until tomorrow morning at 10am.
My rent is due Monday and I don't have it all now. I don't know what to do. If anyone has any information on how to get my money back asap please let me know.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

Uh Oh! Amazon's Order History Exposes Shopaholics
In the first section labeled "Orders" select the option called "Download Order Report." You have a few options to customize your order report depending on date and report type. Populate the fields with whatever information you're hoping to see and submit the request. A download should begin nearly immediately under the "Your Reports" section just below. This is where Amazon archives all of your report requests so you can easily refer to it at a later point if you'd like. Once the file is ready, simply select it to download the .csv file which you can open in Excel or a free program like CSVed.
The detailed file contains a lot of information like order and shipment date, address it was shipped to, subtotal, shipping costs, etc... We can imagine this could be useful information if you have a small business and find yourself ordering a lot through Amazon and it's hard to keep track of it all. The only major thing we miss from this brand new feature is to see the title of the actual object we purchased as a column. We can only imagine that Amazon left this out intentionally and not as an oversight but for whatever reason that could be, maybe Amazon will come in later with an update that will allow it since we think it would greatly improve this feature's functionality.
But there is still a lot to enjoy with just this document. Total up the purchase amounts to see just how much you've bought from Amazon throughout the years. But remember, this document is only as old as the email address you created the account with. If you have multiple accounts under different email addresses you'll have to separately download the reports for each.

2016 Arts & Leisure Division
First Place Winner Arts & Leisure (awarded $1000):
Anna Beck – Grade 8 – St. Louis, MO – Does Society have Pull?
Essay excerpt: "My artwork is a 2D diagram made to convey the message of how society tells us to stretch to its standards no matter what the cost. So many people these days are depressed, suicidal, etc. and a lot of that comes from peer pressure to fit in. I'm not saying that we should start a giant revolution or campaign to stop society, I'm saying that we should accept ourselves for who we are and not who society wants us to be. We are who we are, not who society wants us to be. This is why my artwork is called Does Society have Pull? My invention incorporates rubber bands around my person's waist, wrists, and ankles. The rubber bands are supposed to illustrate how society pulls and stretches you to conform to its standards. The rubber bands illustrate how society says you HAVE to be this skinny, you HAVE to be this tall, or you HAVE to be this weight. The bands represent the voices of people telling that person to be "normal"."
Runner-Up Arts & Leisure (awarded $800):
Emily Merritt – Grade 6 – Stroudsburg, PA – Compromise
Essay excerpt: "My rubber band artwork is called Compromise. Its main purpose is to demonstrate that all the countries of the world need to be more flexible and compromise if we are ever to achieve world peace. My artwork was designed to incorporate peace symbols and the world bound together with rubber bands. I painted multiple peace signs with acrylic paints in shades of blue as a background representing an ocean of peace. I then applied a flat map of the world as a template and used copper nails to outline the continents. The rubber bands were then looped from nail to nail. Compromise displays the goal that everyone needs to work together."
Remaining Finalists Arts & Leisure (each awarded $350):
- Sophie Brieler – Grade 8 – St. Louis, MO – Once a Tree that Grew
- Rachel Matto – Grade 8 – Lancaster, PA – Rubber Rain
- Travis McCrady – Grade 8 – Ravenna, OH – The Baby Teedown
- Savannah Pallante – Grade 8 – Rootstown, OH – The Rain Cloud
2016 Science & Engineering Division
First Place Winner Science & Engineering (awarded $1000):
Andrew Pelham – Grade 8 – Brentwood, TN – The Screen Stopper
Essay excerpt: "From my seat on the bus, there is one thing I am no longer surprised to see: drivers looking down at their phones at stoplights, texting in traffic, and even scrolling on a screen while speeding down the interstate. My invention, The Screen Stopper, prevents drivers from sneaking a peak at their phones by covering the screen and requiring both hands to remove the device. The user easily stretches the device over the phone before driving. Rubber bands are a critical part of The Screen Stopper design. Although The Screen Stopper slides on easily, the rubber bands make it difficult to remove without the use of two hands. The Screen Stopper can help drivers by reducing the temptation to check the phone, while still giving emergency access and charging capability in the car. I believe that The Screen Stopper has the potential to prevent accidents and save lives."
Runner-Up Science & Engineering (awarded $800):
Wesley Eastham – Grade 8 – Anchorage, AK – The Pokenic Mixer
Essay excerpt: "My invention is a rubber band powered drink mixer. I call it The Pokenic Mixer. This is because it uses elastic potential or stored energy, which becomes rotational kinetic energy when you release the lever. It works by winding up rubber bands and setting the knob to store the potential energy and store it into the apparatus. When it is time to change the potential energy into rotational kinetic energy, you pull the lower knob and the rubber bands twist the rod with the mixer blades and rotates them in order to mix the liquid with the powdered mix. The rubber bands provide power to the rod which turns the propeller blades. The rubber bands are the impetus that make The Pokenic Mixer work. To change the power level you can either add more rubber bands, or turn the lever more revolutions to create more stored energy."
Remaining Finalists Science & Engineering (each awarded $350):
- Abdullah Amir – Grade 8 – Mechanicsburg, PA – Perfect Bread Spreader
- Bradley Kuron – Grade 6 – Rochester Hills, MI – The Sandler
- Adam Laurio – Grade 7 – Jacksonville, NC – The Rubber Ruler
- Jaiden Mangelluzzi – Grade 7 – Gates Mills, OH – London Bridge

Objective diagnostics of excessive alcohol use are valuable tools in the identification and monitoring of subjects with alcohol use disorders. A number of potential biomarkers of alcohol intake have been proposed, but none have reached widespread clinical usage, often due to limited diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. In order to identify novel potential biomarkers, we performed proteomic biomarker target discovery in plasma samples from non-human primates that chronically self-administer high levels of ethanol. Two-dimensional difference in-gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) was used to quantify plasma proteins from within-subject samples collected before exposure to ethanol and after 3 months of excessive ethanol self-administration. Highly abundant plasma proteins were depleted from plasma samples to increase proteomic coverage. Altered plasma levels of serum amyloid A4 (SAA4), retinol-binding protein, inter-alpha inhibitor H4, clusterin, and fibronectin, identified by 2D-DIGE analysis, were confirmed in unmanipulated, whole plasma from these animals by immunoblotting. Examination of these target plasma proteins in human subjects with excessive alcohol consumption (and control subjects) revealed increased levels of SAA4 and clusterin and decreased levels of fibronectin compared to controls. These proteins not only serve as targets for further development as biomarker candidates or components of biomarker panels, but also add to the growing understanding of dysregulated immune function and lipoprotein metabolism with chronic, excessive alcohol consumption.

Just a day after the general election in November, Florey was hospitalized after suffering a minor stroke.
Since that time, he says he has recovered a great deal.
"I'm well. I have responded well to medication," said Florey. "I'm ready to hit the road running . I'm in good physical and mental condition, and I'm ready to work hard and long for this county."
Florey said he is now almost completely recovered and is now still undergoing some minor physical therapy.

I like this one - very good work. Looks like a gas mask for a robot.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Les Armures Geneva
Loved Les Armures
We loved the room where we stayed over Christmas. The only downside was that the restuarant was closed over Christmas as were most. We loved walking through the old part of Geneva in which this Hotel is situated.The breakfast which was included was the best we had anywhere.
We even had a wonderful view from our window
A delightful experience
My wife and I stayed for two nights in June. We arrived not knowing there was a music festival going on which was a pleasent surprise. However the taxi could not get near the hotel so we had a long up-hill walk. Since we were in the middle of a two week trip - we had a bit more luggage then normal. On arrival to the hotel - they upgraded us for the inconvience.
The room was wonderful. The location is great - in the middle of the old town. Very good recommendations on where to eat during our stay - in particular Cafe Lipps. They only minor improvement area may be a bit cooler room - but the area was in a middle of a heat wave and the AC was over taxed.
Be aware that on Sunday's it is hard to find an ATM machine as many do not have machines with open access to the public (near a special card to get into a locked room).
Thanks again to the staff for all their assistance.
Cozy hotel, great location
We stayed at the hotel at the end of March 2005 and really enjoyed it. The place is small and cozy but the rooms are generous size. The room was very nice and well finished and the bathroom very nice. Unfortunately, as in many small European hotels, all the rooms are smoking rooms so ours smelled a bit of smoke but not too bad. It can be noisy if you like to sleep with the windows open as it is in the old part of town and a lot of people are walking around but this was not too bad either. We had dinner at the hotel restraunt and it was extremely good and was crowded (which is another good sign).
The location was perfect, right in the old town and just down some steps down to excellent shopping and then to the river/lake and sight seeing. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I even received something I have not had in a long time-a live person making a wake-up call (though it was in French). The only negative (or positive depending on your political leanings) is that Bill Clinton et al stayed there is 1994. The place was a bit pricey but extremely nice.
This is a great hotel!
I stayed in this hotel for business and I thought that it was really great. I really enjoyed the hotel's great character and location. The rooms were great overlooking a little square and the staff where very helpful. I would strongly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Geneva.
Couldn't be better!!
After doing much research over the internet, we decided to stay at the Hotel Les Armures for 5 days in September. In fact, it surpassed our expectation and we are extremely pleased with our choice. The room and bathroom are spacious, and the service is excellent. I would highly recommend it to anyone who visits Geneva. Do pop in to the hotel restaurant and try out its famous cheese fondue!!
Absolutely fabulous
A fantastic little hotel, right in the heart of the old town. Rooms are fantastic, and spotless bathrooms contain tons of marble and gleaming silver. Totally recommended.
Great stay
Found the hotel on the internet a few days before coming to Geneva. A special promotion was offered for the weekend we were arriving. We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful rooms, attentive staff, excellent breakfast, and perfect location in the old section of town. According to the hotel, both President Jimmey Carter and Bill Clinton had stayed there with their families. Now they can add us to the guest list.
Lovely hotel in prime location, old part of Geneva
Beautiful hotel in an excellent location. Walking distance of business district and shopping. Excellent fondue in the hotel restaurant - best consumed outdoors !
Old Town Luxury in Geneva
What an flawless gem among so many hotels in the lovely city of Geneva, Switzerland! This luxurious hotel in beautiful Old Town is perfection. Our visit last year was during a very hot and humid weekend and our comfortably air conditioned room was a God-send for us! The hotel staff could not be more helpful and friendly. Beautiful hotel on the inside and out. This hotel is a real find in a city full of "bigger is better" accommodation. In fact, we are returning for a weekend this month. An added tip ... don't leave Geneva without having dinner at the best Italian restaurant in the city "La Favola"! As for the little table upstairs with the view of the Jet d'Eau!

I wanted to learn how to play the King's Indian Defense, but I realized a few things…
· If I were to post a forum topic somewhere on this website asking for opinions on the KID, I would probably get a rough assortment of advice from lots of different people, eventually a flame war would break out, and that would be the end of it.
· I could read a book on the King's Indian Defense, but once I'm out of book, now what?
· I could watch grandmaster videos and dvd's on the KID, but if I had any questions, I can't ask them and expect to get an answer.
· I could play a whole lot of individual games in the KID and do the best I can, but I could also be making the same mistakes over and over again without ever knowing it.
· I could hire a coach to answer all my questions all the time, but that would get quite expensive.
· OrI could just hang out with people who know about the King's Indian and we could all compare what we have learned. But even that discussion would probably not last very long or answer the questions that are likely to come up in the future.
So, the solution? Team Vote Chess. It's convenient, it's informative, and it works. Our opponents provide us with the questions and together we strive to find the answers. Two minds are greater than one. Each game is a classroom. We are not competing with each other. We're cooperating. In many cases the voting is not much more than a formality anyway, except when we have more than one good idea and can't agree which way to go. Then it's an actual election and the votes decide. Voting is not nearly as important as the discussion.
Our group (and other groups dedicated to specific openings) exists for the sole purpose of learning, studying, and teaching that particular opening. We are not playing team Vote Chess to prove we are the best team (although we might be). We are not doing this to prove the King's Indian Defense is the best opening (although it might be). We play team Vote Chess because it provides us with the opportunity to learn, study, and teach the King's Indian Defense.
Dude i will join you. I am learning the KID for both sides and looking for a study buddy. Add me
Here is one of my games in a OTB toureny. I was black and i was able to beat a 2180 with the KID!

In its annual assessment of the U.K. economy, the IMF called on the UK to invest in skills and infrastructure and increase banking sector competition in order to foster growth and achieve a sustainable recovery.
The report can be found here and contains plenty of relevant background information on the current situation facing the UK - here is a selection of quotes from their summary
"Economic recovery in the UK continues to be slow and fragile, as domestic de-leveraging pressures remain and external demand is weak."
"The effectiveness of monetary policy is undermined by persisting weaknesses in the banking system."
"Measures to improve the economy's skills base and competitiveness would enhance the economy's productive capacity while supporting demand in the near term."
"Securing growth momentum and rebalancing the economy are vital to boost incomes and income expectations, ensure the sustainability of public debt, and support bank balance sheets. A multi-pronged policy strategy is thus needed to address both demand and supply constraints that the UK economy faces."

I couldn't find this anywhere else so...
Simple question really, if I push two barrels together and blow them up together does that count as a combo towards the "Combos" medal or does there have to be an enemy death involved?

I honestly couldn't tell you but I do know that from my experience the medal didn't "unlock" in the way the game usually awards medals until the end of the game although it did show up on my screen as achieved.
If I had to guess i'd say you need to involve a death, as I know I did plenty of X2 and so on well before I actually saw the Combo medal in my unlocks. My strategy was, if you notice where the X2 ect are shown there are about 4 or so slots that light up when you do shoot something or an enemy is hit with something. Example: shoot an enemy with the semi-auto rounds and the gun icon will light up, but if he's on fire first the fire icon (guy next to fire) will be lit. Shoot him then and both will light giving you in my estimate, a combo. Just a suggestion through my 1 day of playing and finishing this.

The use of tear gas to disperse crowds is not an uncommon one, particularly in the seemingly lawless world of South American football.
European fans have had to deal with their fair share as well - indeed it's almost a regular occurrence in continental Europe when some of the big boys play.
However, nobody could have imagined that it would be necessary in an U14 Turkish football Championship match.
Events unfolded when Bursaspor scored the third goal during extra time of their Cup match against İkitellispor.
The Ikitellispor players objected to the goal, five of them were red carded but that, it seems, was not enough...
