The key is to make sure those personal opinions don't influence your decisions regarding employees' work assignments, performance reviews and day-to-day treatment.
Employee favoritism doesn't just create morale problems; it can also create legal trouble for the organization. That's because employees may view that preferential treatment as illegal discrimination, based on their race, age, gender or religion.
Studies show that managers often unknowingly give the benefit of the doubt to employees that they like, even employees who are average or subpar performers. Such managers focus on their "friend" employees' strengths while zeroing in on the weaknesses of employees they dislike.
A recent study in the Harvard Business Review found that most managers would rather work with "lovable fools" than "competent jerks."
5 questions to identify bias
To determine if you let personal opinions cloud your judgment (and treatment) of employees, ask yourself these questions:
1. Do you routinely accept excuses from certain employees who deliver below-average performance? Managers more readily accept explanations from employees that they like.
2. Do you dismiss certain employees' poor performance by saying, "But he tries so hard"? That's a common justification for giving likable poor performers the benefit of the doubt.
3. Are you "personality neutral"? Think about one employee who you like and one who you don't like. Does your personality change dramatically around the likable person?
4. Do top performers distance themselves from your favored employees? The best employees resent the preferential treatment of less talented employees. As a result, top performers avoid the lovable fools.
5. Do poor performers hang out with favored employees? The worst producers may hope to gain management's favor by associating with well-liked employees.
Final tip: Neutrality is important, but don't talk yourself out of liking an employee. Likability is part of a person's competence, especially in customer-centric positions. Instead, don't let your opinion stop you from being tough when needed.
While it may be uncomfortable to approach employees whom you like about their performance or behavior problems, it's vital to becoming an objective manager and avoiding legal complaints down the road.

How to be an Escort?
Imagine the wild life of a successful millionaire and you might get the cars, drugs, escorts, and crazy parties. What is it really like outside of the movies though? Former Portland, Oregon escort Ashly Lorenzana, author of her popular memoir "Sex, Drugs, and Being and Escort, " has lived that life and isn't a stranger to much we can imagine. Having worked as an escort for several years and battled drug addiction, Ashly now pursues her own dreams and business ventures. She is currently launching her own coaching program for independent authors but she still shares a few stories and wisdom from a life very few of us ever see.
We had the interesting opportunity to catch up with Ashly by email where she lets us in on the real world of escorting, drugs and addiction, as well as her new coaching program.
So I was hoping you could shed some light for us on the world of drugs and sex in business. Did you have a good amount of clients that were "business class?"
"…I will say that the majority of my clients were upper middle class, while a smaller percentage were more "corporate" types and professionals who traveled to Portland for reasons related to their business. My clients have spanned a wide range of careers that have included lawyers, nurses (not only a woman's job, as it turns out), small business owners, drug dealers, executive chefs, photographers, retired gentlemen, mechanics, insurance agents, computer technicians, college professors, and even at least one pizza delivery boy."
How common was it that your clients were married business men?
"It was fairly common for my clients to be married businessmen actually. In my own experience, they were far more likely to have cautious tendencies regarding their indulgences, if anything. Married clients were more careful about everything and they often did not disclose much about their jobs and what it was they did professionally. They are usually much more concerned about keeping a low profile in order to keep our relationship a secret from their wives and the rest of their family. Very few of my clients were drug users, though there were a couple of exceptions to that. So no, they weren't typically "party" guys, as their lifestyle didn't allow for that as much as the bachelors."
Do you think drug use or that volatile lifestyle ever got in the way of their jobs?
"Not surprisingly, seeing escorts can quickly spiral into an addiction of its own, much like anything can when you think about it. I have had at least a couple of clients who I was actually close friends with lose everything and they were forced to relocate as a result. The escorting habit coupled with their drug addictions was too much for them to maintain, despite making good money in their lines of work. So I'd say that yes, it can definitely affect people's lives in a negative way when it gets out of hand."
What was your image of success back then? What is it today?
"My image of success at the height of my escorting was probably just being considered one of Portland's finest choices for gentlemen who wanted some intimate company. I think I achieved that and that it still holds true to a certain extent even today, almost eight years after I saw my first client. My idea of success now is hopefully a bit more profound and basically consists of things like my recent search for a meaningful cause to support or something important to devote my life to. I haven't yet figured out what that is, but I know I want to help people in a way that they will remember and that could possibly change their lives. I hope to be led in that direction soon, but I'm not one to force the discovery of such things."
What would you say to young business people today who glorify that lifestyle of Lamborghinis, yachts, escorts and cocaine?
"…my advice to young business people about a life of extravagance and indulgence would be to caution against becoming preoccupied with things like flashy cars and even drugs. I'm an addict myself, but I can't deny that using them can really mess up a person's entire life so it's certainly worth weighing in on before a coke habit begins to creep up on you. My advice is to instead focus on being the absolute best at what you do professionally and try to stay down to earth. I've noticed that oftentimes those who put unnecessary stress on material wealth quickly become consumed with it and lose sight of the things which can actually make them happy and fulfilled."
What are some business lessons you have learned from your experience as an escort?
"As for business lessons I learned from my work as an escort, it definitely proved to me that it really doesn't matter what you offer or how much you charge for it, because there is a group of people out there who want exactly what you specialize in and are willing to pay the rates you demand. I say stick to what you know you are really worth and never do anything you are not comfortable with. You really don't have to, you just need to find that group of people and deliver what they are looking for."

As part of our long standing partnership with The Sunday Times
we had the opportunity to survey those who took part in the annual
Sunday Times Rich List about their attitudes to philanthropy.
90% are confident about the impact their giving has, but many
would like to see more from the charities they support with less
than two thirds being satisfied with impact reporting.
These results are encouraging for philanthropy. Donors
care about their impact and want to achieve it. Charities need
to ensure they find ways to demonstrate impact to get greater
engagement from their major supporters.
The emphasis on strategic giving is positive, as real change is
not only achieved through higher donations but through different
approaches to giving. Varying the funding mechanisms,
different forms of collaboration and partnership and the provision
of expert advice and research all enhance the impact you will
We believe that the 28% who thought the government does enough
may have changed their minds since the proposed cap on tax relief
from charitable giving was announced in March. Tell us
what you think by emailing email@example.com.
It may sound obvious but taking the time to understand your
values can really help drive the way you give and help you focus
and get more from it. As you follow your giving journey
taking the time to reflect on those values will help you evaluate
your activity along the way.
Giving should be an engaging and rewarding experience for
philanthropists and indeed 64% are motivated to give by the
enjoyment they derive from it. Feedback and regular
communications will deepen engagement and can lead to longer
relationships and increased donations.
Through our long standing partnership with The Sunday Times we
surveyed some of the UK's richest people to find out what drives
their giving.
Personal values are the most important
motivator for those surveyed and other factors such as morals and
ethics, belief in causes and personal experience are major drivers
for giving too.
Two thirds are driven by the enjoyment they get
out of giving.

A number of you have been receiving notices from your brokers warning that your short call position in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) April, 2017 $227-$230 in-the-money vertical bull call spread may get called away.
They are specifically referring to the short April $230 calls.
Brokers have recently started doing this to avoid getting sued for failure to give notice, which they always do.
While it is theoretically possible that your April $230 calls could get called away, it is highly unlikely.
Let me do the math to show you why.
The SPY is currently trading at $233.60. The April $230 calls are trading at a mid price of $3.86, which expire in two trading days on April 21st.
The April $230 calls have an intrinsic value of $3.60 ($233.60 – $230.00 = $3.60). So The April $230 calls are therefore trading at a $0.26 premium.
If the holder of this call exercises his position he will lose the entire $0.26, worth $962, plus his exercise costs. So it is highly unlikely that the holder will exercise the position.
Having said all that, weird stuff happens on options expiration.
A call owner may need to cover a short position right at the close today and exercising his April $230 calls is the only way to cover it.
There are thousands of algorithms out there which may arrive at some twisted logic that the calls need to be exercised.
And yes, calls get exercised by accident. There are still a few humans left in this market.
All of these fun and games happen right at the market close.
In the unlikely event that your April $230 calls ARE called away, this is what it will cost you.
Your SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) April, 2017 $230-$233 in-the-money vertical bull call spread which you bought for $2.65 is suddenly worth $3.00. You get to book an instant profit of $1,295.
If your calls ARE called away, this is what you do.
Call your broker and tell him you want to exercise YOUR long $227 calls to meet the short position in the $230 calls. This is a perfect hedge.
This exercise process is now full automated at most brokers, but it never hurts to follow up with a phone call if you get an exercise notice. Mistakes do happen.
If any of you are the slightest bit worried or confused by all of this, come out of your position RIGHT NOW at a small profit! You should never be worried or confused about any position tying up YOUR money.
Professionals do these things all day long, and exercises become second nature, just another cost of doing business. If you do this long enough, eventually you get hit. I bet you don't.
SPY is the largest ETF in the world, currently with $226 billion in assets under management. The next two largest ETFs that track the S&P 500 are iShare's IVV and Vanguard's VOO—currently with $91 billion and $57 billion in assets respectively.
If for some reason the market sells down sharply over the next two days, I will stop out of this position quickly.
You never want to be caught in a situation where your long April $227 call position is well in the money, but your short April $230 call position has expired worthless.
That could leave you with a ton of stock, which you definitely don't want to own in this kind of jittery market.

South Dorset MP Continues Fight Against Navitus Bay Wind Farm
9:33am 24th December 2013
(Updated 9:34am 24th December 2013)
South Dorset's MP has met with Council leaders over controversial plans for a wind farm at Navitus Bay.
Richard Drax has renewed his opposition to proposals. At the meeting with Dorset's Council leaders, he spoke about the overwhelming size and scope of the potential site, that would sit in the middle of some the busiest sailing waters in Britain.
MP Drax said it was "too big and too close".
Some of the turbines would be 3 times higher than London's gherkin.
'Navitus Bay is too big and too close,' says Richard Drax. 'Government guidelines call for a 12 nautical mile exclusion zone; however, under these plans, 82 per cent of the site falls within that limit. And the 8MW turbines are huge. At three times higher than London's gherkin, they will appear higher to the naked eye than the needles off the Isle of Wight.'
'If built, Navitus Bay will have far reaching repercussions. Tourism will move elsewhere. Fishing, diving and sailing industries will move elsewhere. The impact upon fish spawning beds and bird migration can only be guessed at. The disruption and pollution caused by digging the cables across the New Forest will destroy an environment we have cherished and protected for 1000 years. Navigation lights on the turbines will destroy the beauty of the night sky."
The Navitus Bay Planning application is due to be submitted to the Government in the spring.

I was honored and privileged to attend the 109th Boys & Girls Clubs National Conference in Chicago last week. Magnificent Milestones was the conference theme with 2015 being the 50th Anniversary of the National Area Council Committee, 25 years since the name change to Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and 25 years for the Alumni Hall of Fame.
Areas of focus included using data to improve Club members experience, teen recruitment, and panel discussions about best practices for Club safety.
I also had the opportunity to hear many different speakers, including leadership expert Jim Collins, author of the bestselling book, "Good to Great", Dr. Kenneth Ginsberg, Rob Manfred, Commissioner of Major league Baseball, and BGCA CEO Jim Clark. Overall, it was a truly inspiring experience celebrating the journey to Great Futures.

29 Apr Barberia Italiana, Italian Barbeer Shop in Amsterdam
Massimiliano is a friend who was born in the same city as me, Trieste. Massimiliano has lived for eight years in Amsterdam. It's funny 'cause we not know each other from our own city but we've met during an evening organized by the group "Italians abroad" in The Netherlands. By now it was for so many years that we haven't seen each other, and the occasion for our "reunion" was my recent trip to Holland.The occasion was very good 'cause I had the pleasure to visit the new salon that Massimiliano opened just a few months ago. I was greatly amazed by the beauty of the place: the salon is very spacious and it get in a bright light; Massimiliano then has created a very pleasant environment that recalls back the old barber but taking also a clean and modern taste, especially with some Italian touches like the book "Speak Italian" by Bruno Munari, or a model of the Fiat 500 of 1957 and the Ferrari's hat.
So if you are living or visiting Amsterdam and you are looking for an hair cut or beard treatment, "Barberia Italiana" of Massimiliano is the right choice for you!
Barberia Italiana di Massimiliano Giuli is located in "Derde Helmersstraat 30" in Amsterdam.

Union Of Knives
Operated On
Following the release of the acclaimed debut album "Violence and Birdsong" Scottish trio Union Of Knives will release a 4 track EP on Monday 4th December to coincide with their UK tour.
Track 1 on the EP, 'Infant Eyes', is a brand new song and one of the highlights of their incendiary live shows. It's gnarly synthetic melody is, in trademark style, offset and complimented by the ethereal and emotive vocals. This one really jacks. Next up is 'Operated On', a firm favourite from the album, which Zane Lowe described thus, "You won't be disappointed, easily one of my favourite tracks.bit of Radiohead, DJ Shadow, Aphex Twin, The Eels... incredible". Also new and exclusive for this EP is the stomping 'Every Treasure'. It closes the live show, and shows the band's dancefloor credentials. Epic, floor-filling stuff.
Union Of Knives have been busy this summer, playing live, building a solid fanbase, turning heads in the media, and putting together a film with Award winning director Joseph Briffa, one of this year's three Tartan Shorts directors. The film entitled "The Cut Up Suite", which gets its first showing at hometown gig King Tut's on Monday 23rd October features 3 tracks from the album, Evil Has Never, Operated On and Lick Black Gold all of which were the inspiration for a dark tale of twisted love, which Briffa filmed at various locations in Glasgow. Joseph is currently being mentored by Paul Greengrass, director of United 93 and Bourne Supremacy, through the UK Film Council's 'Guiding Light' scheme. More on this very soon..

Monday 20th Nov - Barfly, Liverpool
Tuesday 21st Nov - Boardwalk, Sheffield

Simple Outdoor Adventures for Boys {Day 7}: Fly a Kite
How to Fly a Kite…
- Wind
- An Open Area (Field, Beach, etc.)
- A Kite with String
Kite flying goes best in pairs. You need a buddy and a windy day for this classic outdoor activity. Unwind several yards of string. Have one child hold the string and then have another child or yourself hold the kite facing both the person and the wind. Pull tightly on the string, and when given the signal, have your child take off running in the direction of the wind. When the kite catches the air, allow the kite to go higher by releasing more string.
Sing some Mary Poppins "Let's Go Fly a Kite" while you're kiting and enjoy the breeze!
Helpful Tips/Resources:
- "Let's Go Fly a Kite" – Mary Poppins
- How to Build A Kite Tutorial
- Kites for Everyone: How to Make and Fly Them
*Always fly a kite in an open field or beach, away from power lines.

I have been on Lexapro for depression and anxiety, which used to work but after starting it a second time it just gives me anxiety. I am currently on 10 mg lexapro and am trying to switch to Luvox (I have basically no more options at this point, plus Luvox is supposed to have less sexual side effects) and it is day 3 and i feel so completely sad and shaky and uncomfortable. I am only taking 25 mg of Luvox, along with slowly weaning off the lexapro. I wanted to know if these side effects will last much longer. I honestly don't know how much longer I can handle it but i just really need some med to work at this point. I am just so med sensitive :( Please give me advice!!

A correctional growth is expected.
Assumingly, a development of the third wave of the senior level 3 is finished, within which a formation of the fifth wave v of 3 has completed. If the assumption is correct and the price does not break down a critical level of 0.7320, expect the pair to grow within a correction in a form of the fourth wave towards 0.7500. In case of the breakdown of the level of 0.7320, the wave structure of the third wave would continue getting longer.
Trading tips
In the short-term, buy the pair above the level of 0.7320 with the target at 0.7500.
In the medium-term, wait for the correction to end and sell the pair with the target at 0.7000.
Alternative scenario
The breakdown and consolidation below 0.7320 would allow the pair to fall to 0.7000.

Drinkers took school bus for joyride and offered PCSOs a lift, court hears
A COUPLE of drinkers took a school bus for a joyride and offered PCSOs a lift, a court heard.
Two men took a school bus for a joyride
Todd Baldwin, 25, and Michael Crossley, 23, took the single decker after it was left with the keys in the ignition.
Crossley, of Bradford, West Yorks, pleaded guilty to being carried in a motor vehicle taken without the owner's consent on September 6.
Bradford Magistrates' Court heard Baldwin faced charges of taking a motor vehicle without the owner's consent, drink-driving, and driving without a licence or insurance. He failed to attend court and magistrates issued a warrant for his arrest.
I would have gone faster but I couldn't get it out of first gear
Prosecutor Nadine Clough told the court that the single-decker vehicle, belonging to First Bus, had broken down on Thornton Road near Crossley Hall Primary School at around 3.30pm on the date of the offence.
An engineer attended, and the bus was left with its keys in the ignition to allow it to be recovered.
At around 7.45pm, PCSOs on duty in the area saw the yellow bus being driven "extremely slowly" towards Bradford city centre with no lights on.
The pair were sentenced at Bradford Magistrates'Court
The vehicle was seen to mount the kerb slightly as it then turned into Olive Grove.
As officers approached the bus, they saw two men leaving the vehicle, and Miss Clough told the court that one of the pair said to police: "Would you like to get on the bus?"
Both men involved were said to have been drinking cider out of mugs.
The men were said to have been drinking cider out of mugs
After being arrested, Baldwin is said to have told police: "How could I ignore the bus, it was open with the keys in?
"I would have gone faster but I couldn't get it out of first gear."
Crossley made full admissions of the offence in his police interview, saying that he was sorry for the risk caused to the public.
Crossley was ordered to pay £85 costs and an £85 surcharge
Sarah Guttman, mitigating for Crossley, said the amount of cider he had consumed had led to "reduced decision-making skills".
Miss Guttman said her client had been job-seeking since moving to Bradford last year, and had committed the offence out of a combination of "boredom, alcohol, and temptation".
Chairman of the Bench, Captain Alan Wrigley, labelled Crossley's actions "stupid" and "clearly a very irresponsible act".
He was given a 12-month community order with 80 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay £85 costs and an £85 surcharge.

Poll: NJ Transit Fare Hikes -- On Track or Off the Rails?
Is this another undeclared tax on the middle class, or a smart step to maintain responsible fiscal policy?
NJ Transit approved an average fare hike of 9 percent this week, over the objections of many commuters and transit advocates. It was the first fare hike since 2010, when fares jumped an average of 22 percent. Some experts claim that the state is playing games with funding sources and not addressing the big issues, while Gov. Chris Christie says the fare hikes are necessary because of his tight fiscal policy.

Probably not something i would watch again as i did get very fustrated everytime XiaoTong and Enqi split up and there are so many better taiwanese dramas out there now, its definitely shows how much the taiwanese have improved.
Posted 09 February 2007 - 04:54 AM
Anyways, I'm SAD to say that I never got to FINISH watching this series! >______< I mean, I started it in China a FEW year ago, but I had to leave before the show was ended!! =/ Actually, I didn't like it tooo much! I guess it really bothered me that the main actress's voice was dubbed...and it you can tell that she's speaking Korean underneath! XD But other than that, it was a pretty decent series...pretty cliche! '
Oh yeah, I heard that the ending wasn't great! It is true?! Oh well, maybe one day I would finish watching it! hehe, I thought that Alec & Chae Rim was pretty cute together!! =) & the SCENERY was SO FREAKEN BEAUTIFUL!! I WANNNA GO THERE NOW!!! :buahaha

but if you fast forward through the boring scene( in other words, the ones without alec in them)
you'll find that its actually pretty good
as for the ending, i refuse to believe that that is the ending.
its too painful
i made up an alternative one where alec leaves xiaotong because he realised that he really loved ME instead....
i should write these dramas
Posted 25 July 2008 - 10:30 PM
sorry i just have to quote this because..... it make LOL alotXDDD
i only caught bits and parts of this series...but the only pretty girl was the korean one...and the 2 main character guys look alike! it was so hard to tell them apart...
OMG can't you see the height differenceXD? yao xiang seriously looked like he can beat en qi easily and took xiao tong away
this is a very beautiful (both story and scenery^^) and touching story, but my advice though skip the eps where en qi returned to shanghai and act coldly to xiatong ( sadly, it actually lasted for about 10 boring episodes)
Posted 22 November 2008 - 06:21 AM
I'm so glad that I didn't search for this forum while watching the drama otherwise it would have been killjoy!
The drama was a bit draggy at the beginning. I was really taken in only after Alec's character returned to Shanghai after 3 years. Could really feel for the two lovers (Alec & Chae Rim) torn apart. That's when I slept after 2 AM just to watch as much as the drama as I could.
The ending was totally unexpected & needless to say...I cried buckets! I had expected the heart to have been donated by Alec's ex-fiancee (the mad rich girl).
I only knew that something was amiss when En Qi walked into the hospital to meet Xiao Tung. They didn't show how he got the mad girl back to the mental hospital. The whole ending from that part onwards was heart wrenching !
But then again, I ought to have known better...they talked about Plato's Love!
Interestingly, I read that this drama had 3 different endings for different markets. Anyone have more details?!

Unanswered: Lock My database
Can anyone help me? I need to lock my access database to prevent the users from viewing the database window and it's contents (tables, forms, reports, modules, queries, macros).
In normal case users can enter to the design mode and penetrate the startup settings by clicking the Shift key at the moment the database is opened, can I prevent them from doing this?
Thanks in advance

Salam Effendi,
Just type the next code as a Module
Function ChangeProperty(PropName As String, PropTyp As Variant, PropVal As Variant) As Integer
Dim db As Database, prp As Property
Const conPropNotFoundError = 3270
On Error GoTo ERR_ChangeProperty
Set db = CurrentDb
db.Properties(PropName) = PropVal
ChangeProperty = True
Exit Function
If Err = conPropNotFoundError Then
Set prp = db.CreateProperty(PropName, PropTyp, PropVal)
db.Properties.Append prp
Resume Next
Else ' Unknown given property
ChangeProperty = False
Resume EXIT_ChangeProperty
End If
End Function
Then u can use the followings call:
Call ChangeProperty("StartupShowDBWindow", dbBoolean, False)' Disable this property
Call ChangeProperty("AllowBypassKey", dbBoolean, False)'Disable this property
Good luck and have nice time

So it happened. The FDA has revealed the deeming regulations and they are indeed claiming the electronic cigarettes or ENDS (electronic nicotine delivery systems) and eliquids are being classified as tobacco products. This is the outcome we have been both expecting and dreading. Any tobacco product has to go through an extensive and expensive approval process in order to stay on the market.
The FDA is requiring the tobacco products like ejuice list all ingredients. That's a good law. They are ensuring that vapes are not sold to children and limiting the scope of advertising. Okay, that's reasonable. They want childproof caps on ejuice. Of course, all of these are basic common sense. So if you are a vape brand and you meet all of these parameters, that does not mean that you can stay in business. It all goes back to the approval process.
So, you are a highly ethical American entrepreneur and you meet every requirement. If you have 20 products, say 20 types of ejuice, you will need to get 20 products approved. Hope you have 20 million bucks on hand because that's about what you will need to stay in business. Of course, the fight against oppressive regulation is just beginning.
Thus far, despite thousands of submissions to the FDA, the voice of the vaping community has been ignored. As far as they are concerned, we are just another form of tobacco and smoking out to further a nicotine addiction agenda. They see us as a corporate entity will ill intent as opposed to a group of small businesses and innovators working to solve a problem that so far public health agencies have been only feebly effective at, namely tobacco harm.
We have to be heard, and more importantly we have to educate. Most of the public is woefully uninformed about what vaping truly represents. That lack of awareness extends to our lawmakers in Congress. Perhaps a good segment of that can be traced to the information that they have been exposed to.
There is a Bill in Congress right now that could radically change the FDA regulations and protect your choice to a wide range of vaping products. The Bill is HR 2058 and you can read more details here.
Your average member of Congress is dealing with a multitude of issues. First, and this is shameful but true, they have to spend about half of their time fundraising. This is not their fault it's just the way the system has unfortunately evolved. Member of Congress serve on specialized committees dealing with economy, security, environment etc. They deal with concerns from their specific districts. With all that is on their plates, what could they really know about vaping?
In all likelihood, they have a staff member do a Google search about ecigs and vaping and then write a brief. Or, they get a memo outlining a position from another source perhaps the CDC or FDA, neither of which are a fan of vaping. They get the talking points about protecting the children and they probably never look into it any more than that. They just do not know the truth about vaping so you just may be able to make a difference. Approach it as an exercise in education.
The important thing is to make representatives aware of the realities of vaping. Talk about your own personal experience with vaping. In addition, you make a list of talking points to express in an email or phone conversation. There are several vaping studies that show that vaping is at least 95% safer than smoking. Studies show that smoking rates are at an all-time low. You can form a rational, personal expression of support for your member to support HR 2058.
Communicate very respectfully and reasonably. We have the stronger argument here. There is no need to be angry in your communication, that will not help. Keep calm and help vaping!
Furthermore, we need to organize. Join CASAA and utilize their numerous resources to help move your representative. As a group, we are much stronger.
Check out this CASAA page and find out how you can make a difference and fight for vaping rights.
Keep in mind that our members of Congress are people and they get much of their information from traditional news sources and, sadly, special interests with a presence on K Street. It is not just members of Congress that are uninformed, the average person who does not really delve into the issue will often be working with limited information or misinformation.
There have been an endless parade of fear mongering vape studies in recent months. This has led to a confused general public. I have encountered smokers numerous times and asked if they have tried vaping. Very often, way too often, they tell me that they heard that vaping is worse than smoking so they are sticking with tobacco. That's the last thing we want.
If you are reading this and wondering how so much misinformation can possibly be put out there for public consumption, well it is much easier than you think. Have you ever heard of P-Hacking? If you haven't allow me to introduce you to the subject.
We see a lot of people quoting debunked studies in an effort to achieve the most oppressive vaping regulations possible. We have seen headlines touting that ecigs reduce the chances of quitting and we have seen studies that vaping leads to smoking. How do studies like these end up getting so much press? It starts with something called P-Hacking.
P-Hacking is a term used for something called data dredging. It is as bad as it sounds. Data dredging or P-Hacking is the moving around of variables or changing parameters in order to acquire a data result that can be presented as significant. Basically when it comes to vaping studies P-Hacking is a tool that can be used to eliminate data that is contrary to a desired conclusion and formulate a conclusion that seems valid.
Bill Godshall of SmokeFree Pennsylvania does an amazing job tracking all of these studies and regularly exposes fraudulent anti-vaping studies. Much of Mr. Godshall's work can be seen at CASAA and it is invaluable to see just how anti-vaping special interests manage to drive the media misinformation. Getting a manipulated study reported by the media is about the easiest thing anyone can do.
So with P-Hacking or Data Dredging we can see how easy it is to manipulate study data. When a scientist goes back to his or her funder with the desired conclusion, how do they get that out to the media? It is easy, you just pay a press release service to put it out there. You out a scary or sexy headline on the study and the media will report it. Done deal. The worse, the better.
So, you are a reporter working at newspaper X or TV station Y. Yesterday you did a report on a break in and covered a squirrel that can water ski. In any given week you will cover a dozen to perhaps even 2 dozen stories. How many of those press releases that cross your desk do you think you will have time to really dig into? Not many right?
So you get a press release that says smoking lowers the chance of quitting smoking. Unless yoi spend hours into digging into the data and you discover that the scientists behind the study actually ruled out anyone who was now a total non-smoker because of vaping. They really did this and this is why you saw headlines and stories making the claim that smoking lowers the chance of quitting. They only counted current smokers in the study not any former smokers who now vape. It is that bad.
But you as the reporter run with the story as described by the researchers. Often the conclusions reported in the media actually had very little to do with the actual study. Hey, science people wear lab coats and have an alphabet of letter behind their name so it must be reliable. Not so fast!
I love soft drinks. I drink soda, or pop, every day. I know it's bad. My wife tells me all the time. But, I get on Google and find a study published by the Journal of Obesity that basically says that soda is not that different from drinking water. Hey, great! Honey, look at this, I can drink all the soda I want! I'm hydrated. Of course I know that it does not make sense and of course I know soda is not good for me. It is full of sugar and other artificial ingredients. Common sense dictates that drinking soda is not doing me any favors. But, I can find a study to justify it.
Speaking of hydration, it was not long ago that Fox news reported on a study that showed that dehydration was akin to being intoxicated by alcohol. The study showed that dehydrated drivers made as many mistakes behind the wheel as intoxicated drivers. This study made the news, made the papers and was probably passed around water coolers from coast to coast the next day. Here's the thing, that study was paid for by something called the Hydration Institute and was based on the data garnered from 11 people.
Yes, a news making scientific study based on the results selected from 11 people. This is what happens and this is what makes it so hard to get real information out there. This is how people not deeply involved in any specific field get their information and that includes our elected representatives.
Ideally, scientific study is validated through something called replication studies. A replication study is basically re-doing a previous study to see if you get the same results. The problem is that very few replication studies are going on in any field these days. This is simply because of the competitive nature of the science field. If you want funding you have to be the scientist who breaks new ground, there is very little glory in re-proving something someone else has already done.
The other side of the coin of the lack of replication studies is that it makes P-hacking a more fruitful method because chances are no one is going to pay for a study to replicate your results. So you don't have too much worry about being disproven although it does happen occasionally, thankfully.
Fortunately, we have seen a number of large scale studies regarding vaping. Studies that consider mountains of accumulated data to determine a conclusion. There have been studies conducted at Drexler University in the US, Dr. Farsalinos in Europe and by major health agencies in the UK. These studies have found that vaping is safer than smoking and that it is not a gateway to tobacco. Now, if you have ever vaped you know that vaping is nothing like smoking and going back to tobacco is not something desirable.
The largest study was conducted by Public Health England. They went through every bit of data that they could gather and produced a 111 page report which conclusively found that vaping is 95% safer than smoking. This is a study that everyone should be aware of.
Public Health England Finds That Vaping Is 95% Safer Than Smoking
In the UK, the Royal College of Physicians conducted a similar evaluation and found that vaping is safer than smoking and that smokers should switch to vapor. They found that vaping can reduce tobacco related deaths. This study is one that policy makers should also be aware of.
Royal College of Physicians Recommends That Smokers Switch To Vaping
At ECCR we do have concerns about the state of vaping as does the vaping community in general. None of us wants to see kids or non-smokers take up vaping. We need regulations to prevent kids from vaping. We need childproof eliquid bottles to be mandated by law. Complete disclosure of all ejuice ingredients only makes sense as why put diacetyl in ejuice when it is not needed and may be linked to popcorn lung (may be although there has never been a case of anyone contracting popcorn lung from vapor). These things are all doable. And we would like to see standards for the quality of the products available on the market.
Beyond the basics, the number one thing that we need is freedom of choice for smokers to access an alternative that could potentially save their lives. Yes, there are a large number of low quality ecigs and clones out there but that is why ECCR exists, we narrow down the best ecigs to help people avoid the bad. The bottom line is that we with millions of people losing their lives to smoking every year, we need more options and limiting the options for smokers is frankly unconscionable.
At the end of the day, we cannot lose sight of the people today that are struggling with smoking. Regulations, if anything, should work to enhance the quality of choices available to smokers and not limit them. And this brings us to a huge concern.
Anti-smoking groups have had a knee jerk reaction to vaping. As a result, they see us as an enemy when in reality we are an ally. For people like Stanton Glantz, the CDPH in California, Tom Frieden at the CDC they need to recognize that electronic cigarettes are a tool that can help reduce tobacco harm. They cannot be satisfied with the loss of so many people every year because of smoking.
This is out time to make a difference, to educate and inform. This is our time to protect the right to vape.
Team ECCR

Least favorite? - you have to be kidding. My favorite has to be Barack Hussein Obama. No other president has ever knowingly lied so often directly to the American public and been re-elected, (e.g. "if you like your health-care plan, you can keep your health-care plan" and "If in fact IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that have been reported on and were intentionally targeting conservative groups, then that's outrageous. And there's no place for it," Obama said. "And they have to be held fully accountable." (accountable? ha ha -that means promoted) oh and his explanation of Benghazi was precious. President Obama's comments following the attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi blames the attacks on a video and avoids calling the attacks terrorism.
Yep, of all the worst presidents in history he definitely is my favorite - Why I didn't even know we had 58 states til he cleared that up for me at a campaign appearance in Beaverton, Oregon, on May 9, 2008. Obama said, "It is just wonderful to be back in Oregon. And over the last 15 months we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states; I think one left to go." and he wasn't even president then!
Yes sir this man knows things nobody ever knew...I just wish he could serve a third and fourth term so he can really teach this country something! What a knave...

My favorite president was George Washington. Historians have called him the "indispensable man" and the more I read about him, the more I think they're right. He led America's independence, led the Convention that gave us the Constitution, and was a dependable model for the first chief executive. As for my least favorite, it's got to be Lyndon Johnson. LBJ was a bully and a tyrant--a thoroughgoing megalomaniac. LBJ enjoyed bullying little senators to push his agenda to expand the nanny state. He can be "credited" with putting us on the road to accept one health care boondoggle after another. Whenever I read about him, I feel like I need a shower.

May favorite US president is Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Least favorite is Bill Clinton. Roosevelt saved USA from the Great Depression. He was elected to four terms as president. He was a master in delegation perhaps because he was afflicted with polio and was glued to the wheelchair. He could climb a stair alone though backward, sitting on each step and pulling himself upward to the next step. He laughed at his disability, making jokes of his legs. He was one of the Big Three, together with Winston Churchill, prime minister of Britain, Joseph Stalin premier of Russia,, who led the Allies against the Axis powers in WWII, then decided the fate of the world in 1945 when Hitler was in the verge of defeat.
Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives and acquitted by the Senate. The reason is that liaison with a woman is not an impeachable act. He gave out the most number of pardon including his brother in law, and a head of organized crime.

The best was George Washington. There was no corruption in him. He followed the constitution perfectly. He was actually elected unanimously for both of his terms. Everyone loved him. The argument back then was "How are we going to elect George Washington?" not "Who are we going to elect?"
The worst, Barack Obama. He completely ignores the constitution.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
It is relatively easy for me to pick the favorite, Abraham Lincoln; he held the country together and he had the courage to get the 13th Amendment passed. Picking the worst is much harder as most Presidents have good and bad points.
Andrew Jackson was 1) responsible for the expanding suffrage to all white males, yet 2) he was also responsible for the Trail of Tears which was the ethnic cleansing and thousands of deaths of Native Americans out of Georgia.
George Bush 43 who purposefully led America into a costly, both in terms of blood and treasure, unnecessary war in Iraq and who oversaw the economic policies that led to the worst recession since 1937. Yet, he had the wisdom to leave his philosophy and Party behind and support TARP, one of the pillars which prevented a full-blown depression.
I can go down the list of other Presidents who caused depressions (pushing through the Silver Act) or recessions, were simply incompetent (Teapot Dome), and the like; there are simply a lot to chose from.

College Football Preview: The 2015 Maryland Terrapins
Maryland Terrapins Preview
2014 Record: 7-6 (58th of 128) Lost Foster Farms Bowl 45-21 vs. Stanford
Odds to Win National Championship: +80000 See the Latest Odds
Overview: Randy Edsall looks like he's starting to find his footing with the Maryland Terrapins after back-to-back bowl appearances and a strong first year in the Big Ten. After just six wins in his first two seasons, Edsall has combined for 14 victories in his last two and clearly has Maryland moving in the right direction for the first time since Ralph Friedgen first took over the program.
Offense: Caleb Rowe will become the full-time starter at quarterback after completing 63 percent of his passes five touchdowns in four games last season. Rowe has shown bright spots at times, has experience and it'll be interesting to see how he performs in a larger role. Maryland has running back depth with Brandon Ross and Wes Brown, a duo that combined for 10 touchdowns, and they will see a heavier workload this season. Receiver takes a major hit with players graduating and transferring, but Amba Etta-Tawo and Brandon Ross have shown to be reliable and have experience. Still, losing Stefon Diggs, Deon Long and Marcus Leak are huge, huge blows. Maryland also has a talented and deep offensive line that should make everyone's job easier.
USA TODAY Sports
Defense: Maryland must improve a defense that ranked 97th in the country and allowed 30.2 points per contest. It's now up to Keith Dudzinski to fix this mess that kept Maryland from really taking that next step. The good news is that Maryland may have the best secondary in the Big Ten led by cornerback William Likely, who intercepted six passes last season. Sean Davis is a great tackler and has proven to be good in coverage while Anthony Nixon is one of the harder hitters in college football. Yannick Ngakoue is a playmaker with 13.5 tackles for loss and Jermaine Carter, Jr. showed a lot of promise as a freshman. Quinton Jefferson also gives the defensive front a boost with his return from a knee injury. Needless to say, the pieces are there for Maryland to be far better on this side of the ball.
Special Teams: Brad Craddock returns at kicker after making 94.7 percent of 19 field goal attempts. Lee Shrader or Nicholas Rubinowicz will replace Nathan Renfro at punter.
Overall: My only real concern with Maryland is the lack of experience and production at wide receiver. Overall, Maryland has an improved offensive line, healthy QB and a defense that has enough to be top-50 in the country. Can everything come together? Who knows? I do know that Maryland has the potential to be that dark horse team in the Big Ten that nobody wants to play.

MINI brand may develop a new small car for its parent company, Bmw, according to brand boss Wolfgang Armbrecht. The so-called 'mini' MINI will be firm's smallest vehicle, and will be Bmw's dream to build a small and spacious car.
Armbrecht also said that the car will be previewed in a concept form in January at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, and will represent ''the next spectacular idea from the Mini brand''. ''Keep a close eye on the coming months,'' he added.
Moreover, Bmw's development chief Klaus Draeger said that MINI brand should be careful in order to protect its images and not build too many large cars. This means that you should not expect a any big car from MINI.
Furthermore, the brand will also launch two new vehicles in 2011, the MINI Coupe and Roadster, in order to reach yearly sales of 300,000 units. Back in November, MINI sold 208,830 units, a 5.4 percent increase on 2009 sales.
Still, according to Armbrecht, the dealer network will also be improved to reach the sales goal, and having its own dealerships will not be enough. The brand will also need servicing and parts facilities, said Armbrecht. [via autonews - sub. required]

Don't forget the extra $2,500 an employer will get from the Targeted Jobs Tax Credit (TJTC) that almost all illegals will qualify for. That brings the total up to $7,500 per year and there are other programs, as well. I expect the Obama administration, in cooperation with the GOP, to add more programs for these "poor" people who've just been "brought out of the shadows," don't you?
Yup. And don't forget EIC (Earned Income Tax Credits). And Foodstamps, healthcare, free education, free lunch, free ObamaPhones, etc.

Re-edited and re-mastered, the two best Coues white tailed deer tapes ever made are brought to you now even better on DVD.
Western Whitetail is still considered a classic. John and Mike will present 40 years of hunting and guiding for Coues deer to you along with some great hunts for Boone and Crockett Coues bucks. These hunts were filmed over eight years in Arizona and New Mexico. It includes a hunt with one of the first ever bullet vapor trails seen on video!
Western Whitetail 2 has more hunts, more in depth hunting knowledge of the Coues white tailed deer, interviews, and brings another four years of filming and hunting Coues deer. This time we have included muzzleload hunts, some excellent rattling sequences, more vapor trails, and maybe best of all - huge whitetail, two that gross over 130 points. Plus a 5x5 taken with a rifle, on film that scores 119 Boone and Crocket points.
If you want to hunt Coues deer, or want to learn how to hunt the ultimate in deer, you need to see this DVD dedicated to the Coues deer..
All Fair Chase, Always
85 Min. of great Coues deer hunting.

East London - The ANC Eastern Cape provincial working committee plans to meet with the Mandela family later in January to discuss Mvezo chief Mandla Mandela's marital woes, the Daily Dispatch reported on Thursday."We will schedule a meeting with Mandla and his family on completion of the ANC centenary celebrations in Mangaung on Sunday," ANC provincial spokesperson Mlibo Qoboshiyane was quoted as saying.He was afraid the negativity of developments relating to Mandela, a member of Parliament, would be associated with the ANC.Mandela's first wife, Tando Mabunu-Mandela, brought criminal charges against him for defying an Eastern Cape High Court order preventing him from marrying KwaZulu-Natal woman, Mbalenhle Makhathini.In December last year Mabunu was granted a court order prohibiting Mandela from marrying anyone while still validly married to her.Mandela also defied a court in 2010 to marry French teenager Anais Grimaud, according to the report. That marriage was annulled.In October last year three Mvezo families were granted a high court order prohibiting Mandela from building a hotel and stadium on their land.Mandela is the grandson of former president Nelson Mandela.
Who cares?
I second your notion with a pint of Castle Lager :)
I care, because all of this crap is being paid for with my tax money.
What a fuss over nothing, indeed, who gives a hoot??
This Mandla is a real troublemaker! Marrying women at random all over..hey..but our current state president is doing the same!.LOL
The gov,is to blame for this, because they keep paying huge sums of taxpayers money to these tinpot dictators that pose as chiefs.Stop wasting our money on lawless idiots like Mandla mandela and they will have no power anymore.ANC needs his tribes votes next year so its guaranteed F--- All will happen to the hobbit!
Who is this A hole by the way I thought I will read a report on a strategy to improve eastern cape schooling and get the matric pass rate up to Where the western cape is. There is no need for these ningcumpoops in our democracy. Just get rid of these stupid royalty. Please. I refuse to pay tax to keep these fools alive. Can't they let the people who believe in these cultural royalty to pay. I refuse.
Meeting to discuss how they can sweet the whole thing under the carpet the quickest way.

Measures to target use of WhatsApp and Facebook by gangs
The use of messaging services, such as WhatsApp and Facebook, by gangland criminals is to be targeted under new measures being drawn up by the Department of Justice.
Tánaiste and Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald has instructed her officials to modernise the law surrounding covert surveillance as part of the Government's response to the gangland crisis.
Garda sources say criminals are increasingly using the likes of WhatsApp, imessages and Facebook to communicate.
The current law is seen as being out of date and does not cover the array of messaging services now available.
Ms Fitzgerald has asked her officials to finalise proposals which will be brought to Cabinet in the coming weeks.
"We have to recognise that those involved in organised crime and terrorism can use very sophisticated technology and this should not make them immune to monitoring by An Garda Síochána, especially when lives are at stake," a spokesman said.
"What we are simply talking about is modernising the regime that has applied here for a long time now in relation to phones and post to ensure that it reflects the developments in technology," he added.
However, technology experts believe the Government could run into difficulty if it attempts to legislate to allow gardaí to access these types of messages.

SEVEN in 10 people are concerned about unhealthy food, but only one in 20 are worried by short-lived food scares like BSE.
A 2004 Food Standards Agency survey found the overwhelming majority of people were worried about the food they were buying, as 69 percent answered that they were `fairly' or `very' concerned.
Salt content topped the worry list, with 57 percent of people concerned, closely followed by food poisoning (56 per cent), and the fat and sugar content, both at just over 50 per cent.
Just five percent were worried by short-lived food scares like BSE and less than half were concerned about issues like the use of additives, pesticides and genetically modified foods.
Janet Butler, resident nutritionist with health food shop The Eighth Day Café on Oxford Road, said: "People should be concerned by unhealthy diets, high levels of salt cause high blood pressure and strokes, and looking after a healthy heart.
"But pesticides and additives are a big issue, people should be having as natural food as possible, both for themselves and to give their children the best start in life."
The survey also highlighted the need for clearer food labelling. Those who read food labels were most interested in the fat content (56 per cent), salt (44 per cent) and sugar (44 per cent).
But the value of checking labels was called into question, as just under half said that they did not trust food labelling, a figure up from 32 percent in 2001.
Janet said: "The difficulty is different labels can be very confusing to people, we need to have clearer labelling. Some products described as low in fat can be high in sugar. There should be tighter guidelines."
Gill Fine, Director of Consumer Choice and Dietary Health at the Food Standards Agency said: "Over the last five years the trend has been towards healthier eating and a demand for reliable information."
The Food Standards Agency has launched a website dedicated to offering practical advice on all aspects of food safety and labelling, and you can visit it by clicking on the link below.

Vazquez vs Marquez III Trailer (2008)
01 March 2008
the third fight between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez should have been the decisive one, as both had won once in the previous two fighting. Like the second match between the two (in 2007), this one won the title of "Fight of the Year" (by Ring Magazine), even if for example we have preferred the fight between Casamayor and Katsidis or other 5-star fights of 2008. Rafael Marquez knocked down Vazquez in the fourth round but at the end of this balanced and spectacular fight the winner is "Magnifico" Vazquez.

Elnura, A Kyrgyz Christian
David W. Montgomery
In Central Asia new non-Orthodox Christian groups have proved to be a source of tension as they gain converts from Islam. The numbers of these new Christians, whose denominational affiliations include Baptist, Seventh-day Adventist, Pentecostal, and non-denominational Protestant, are not large relative to the broader culture of self-proclaiming Muslims. But the perception is that these Christian groups pose a threat to a cultural understanding of Islam that has not included a tradition of religious pluralism.
Elnura is a young Kyrgyz girl who became interested in Christianity through regular visits to her Christian missionary neighbors who, according to her, offered the message of a "God of forgiveness and love" rather than a "God of fear."1 Russian Orthodoxy did not appeal to her because she was Kyrgyz, and she saw Orthodoxy as the faith of Russians and Islam as the faith of Kyrgyz. That the missionaries she met were Kyrgyz piqued her curiosity, and in secrecy she accepted their invitation to learn more about Christianity.
When her father learned about her visits to their neighbors, he was furious and banned her from seeing them again. He immediately sent her to a mosque to begin regular studies with the imam. The response of Elnura's father was curious only because he was not a practicing Muslim and had never been to a mosque. His conviction was that his ethnicity belonged to Islam, and he feared that if his daughter became Christian, she would lose her Kyrgyz identity. New Christian converts challenge the conception of a mono-religious culture. They confront a population that will increasingly have to address the issue of religious pluralism, as well as the problem posed by what one defines as ethnic and what another defines as religious. Elnura's Kyrgyz identity means that she should be Muslim, and her conversion is seen as a threat to the community. The reality is, however, that Elnura, far from being an aberration, is one among a growing number of examples of religious diversity in Central Asia.2 F
1Some foreign Christian missionaries believe that the conversion rate in Central Asia has come to a plateau, which they explain as an aspect of new Christians trying to reclaim the culture that was at times discarded during the conversion process. This cultural reclamation is seen in people who, for example, define themselves as both Kyrgyz and Christian and use traditional symbols in worship, such as the cross patterns common in the shyrdak (traditional Kyrgyz felt carpet).
2 For more on the conversion of Kyrgyz to Christianity, see Alyona Faletskaya, "Identity Among the Kyrgyz: Moving Tent Towards Christ or Christianity," master's thesis, Department of Anthropology, American University in Central Asia, 2005.
David W. Montgomery is assistant professor of anthropology, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Do you still have family members who have not yet had a DNA test? Certainly the oldest should be tested first. Prices have never been better than right now. Bring into the fold great aunts, uncles, grandparents, and more. Here is a link to see what's available: Your Genetic Genealogist.
There are essentially three companies that serve the genealogy community: Family Tree DNA, Ancestry and 23andMe. The first is full service; that is, they offer all the appropriate tests that are available to help us learn about our family history. Order its Family Finder test for everyone to find cousins across your entire pedigree. Their Y-DNA test is for males only, strictly for the paternal line -- father to his father to his father, etc. Their mtDNA test is for everyone but applies only to the strict maternal line -- mother to her mother to her mother, etc. You can always upgrade or add on.
Ancestry and 23andMe offer just one test, which is equivalent to Family Finder.
For a basic overview, see my website. Don't miss out on these wonderful prices.

For a limited time Google is making the classic Tom Hanks flick, Big, free to anyone who wants to pick it up. What is even better is that it is the HD version of the movie.
If you remember the movie then you should grab it, if you have never seen it, you should grab it. Heck, if you have a gmail account you should get it just because it is there and free.

I know this is a pain for you guys and I'm so sorry, but moving it one week afterward would break the feeds anyhow and you'd just have to go in and readjust. I appreciate you bearing with me in this transition. I'm like that annoying friend who keeps moving to a new city while they "find themselves."
In the meantime, I'll continue to post things here that don't fit on Fortune or just strike me as more personal or off my Fortune beat. Certain broadband topics come to mind. While Gigaom encouraged a more bloggy style and Fortune wants to capture some of that for its web journalism, being a traditional media brand, it might shy away from some of the more personal musing, experiments or rants. And especially in the beginning I'm a fan of when in doubt, just leave it out.
So thank you guys for supporting me through what has been an eventful month and let's keep the journey going strong both here and at Fortune.
