Visco Graphene® memory foam
Graphene-based visco elastic memory foam with anti-stress properties.
High resilience Visco Graphene® memory foam is a derivative of Viscotex® memory foam: it is enriched with graphene particles.
Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon atom and when stacked together it becomes graphite, a material known for being an electric conductor. Applied to the composition of a mattress, it reduces static electricity produced by the human body and fights against a bad night's sleep.
Its unique thermal conductivity helps draw excess heat away from the body. It is also odourless, anti-dust mite and antibacterial – bacteria doesn't survive in a graphite environment.

We are proud of our farms...
...and the people who farm them. Leaman's Green Apple Barn was farmed by Harry Leaman, who died at the age of 92. The farm is now owned and managed by Harry's granddaughter. Although the apple farm is above the floodplain, Jaye tells how she played down by the river, and even swam in it. I do believe the dioxin situation was worse then than it is now. We just didn't know about it. Four generations and still going strong!

text: On the twenty-sixth we went to Pai via mini-bus. It was a 3 hour drive through the mountains on the infamous route 1095 winding through 762 curves before arriving in Pai. Our guesthouse was a short walk away from the busy market where tourists tend to hang out, which was super convenient and made our stay much more enjoyable.

One of the more interesting sides of working in the jewelry industry is getting to know the designers as PEOPLE. Patricia met Donna Distefano in June 2011 when Donna was recognized by the industry charity 'Jewelers That Care' during a major jewelry industry event. A beautiful person inside and out, the NY-based Distefano is more of a private jeweler than a full-blown jewelry retailer and has a devoted celebrity following.
A student of art history and Italian culture, Donna was the senior goldsmith for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY before launching her eponymous company, Donna Distefano Ltd. Her pieces are all hand-crafted using techniques that have endured over centuries and reflect the culture and craftsmanship that she values.

Donna holds dual citizenship in both Italy and the United States and studied design in Italy before devoting her energies to goldsmithing. She is often sought after for her unique engagement and wedding rings, and Patricia's favorite is the 'Donna' ring, a gorgeous cushion-cut ruby surrounded by diamonds set in 22K yellow gold:
Patricia's Gem to Remember
Looking for an engagement ring that's unique yet classic? Donna's 'Pillow Talk' ring is in 18K yellow gold set with a 3 carat cushion cut center diamond accented with smaller diamonds.
Other lovely wedding jewelry is accented with cultured pearls, so pretty and feminine!
Bassonette pendant and Viola earrings:
Donna's jewelry has been featured in literally dozens of fashion and style magazines, and she was featured in a 'Mansome' video, created to help the nervous engagement ring purchaser with buying tips:
Donna's talents aren't limited to wedding jewelry. Her "Belle of the Ball" earrings are graceful yet playful and are set with over 30+ carats of yellow and orange sapphires and freshwater cultured pearls:

Christine's favorite is the lovely 22K gold and emerald pendant below. She loves how the ancient techniques of engraving, etching, repousse and granulation are incorporated into the piece. Only master goldsmiths can create Destefano's intricate designs, each a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Donna's pieces are also perfect for the working woman who appreciates a 'statement' piece but wants to maintain her professional demeanor in the office, like the 22 K yellow gold 'Salvatrice' garnet ring to the left, and the 'Majesty' ring in 22K yellow gold, diamonds and a 24 carat prasiolite, a variety of green quartz:
Donna's 'Taylor' earrings in 22K yellow gold with granulation, gold twists and pavé set diamonds can be worn proudly by a bride on her wedding day, or to the office or out on the town. Perfect!
'Journey' ring
Donna's creation below, titled 'The Love that Moves the Sun and the Other Stars' was inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy. Crafted in 22K yellow gold, the center of the ring features a Gibeon meteorite. A true one-of-a-kind piece, it was created at the request of the Forbes Galleries to be included in their recent exhibit "Out of This World! Jewelry in the Space Age"
Donna is also featured in Beth Bernstein's new coffee table book "Jewelry's Shining Stars", which highlights some of today's most interesting and innovative jewelry designers.

Sorry, no pictures today…
Got the first 1/2 or so of the side decks in place. Seemed to fall in fairly well. Just a matter of laminating them in (after getting things notched and ready yesterday). There will be plenty of planing and shaping to get everything totally smooth and nice looking.
This thing is going to be tough with that much wood at the edges like that 🙂

A decision is expected "any time" following yesterday's Motion to Dismiss hearing.
Click here (or click the pic below) to watch brief video highlights:
From Michael Kiefer, AZ Central:
"Jodi Arias sentencing trial: Could it all be over Monday?"
On Friday, her defense attorney, Kirk Nurmi, made a last-ditch effort to have the prosecution's intent to seek the death penalty thrown out, his motion alleging prosecutorial misconduct and inability to get witnesses to testify on Arias' behalf because of a court ruling forbidding testimony in a closed courtroom.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sherry Stephens said that she would rule by Monday.
Her first trial took place in 2013, but the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict as to whether she should be sentenced to life or death.
A second jury was seated in September, and Nurmi and his co-counsel, Jennifer Willmott, have been trying to present "mitigation" witnesses who might convince the jury to spare Arias' life. If death is taken off the table because of the pending motion, Arias must be sentenced to life in prison and there would be no need to continue the current proceedings.
Nurmi's argument rests largely on how police and prosecutors handled a computer belonging to Alexander that was taken into evidence at the crime scene. And he claimed that they knowingly misrepresented the content of the computer hard drive and failed to turn over copies they had made of it.
• While the computer was in custody of Mesa police, it was turned on and off twice without taking proper precautions for handling evidence, which resulted in files being accidentally altered or deleted from the hard drive.
• During Arias' 2013 guilt-or-innocence trial, and during the present sentencing retrial, Mesa police officers testified under oath that the computer was free of pornography and computer viruses. Prosecutor Juan Martinez used that testimony to refute Arias' assertions that Alexander was sexually attracted to young boys and he branded her a liar for saying the porn and viruses were there.
Mesa police have since admitted that the computer did have significant amounts of pornography and viruses despite the earlier testimony by the trial's case agent and a police forensic expert.
"Under what law would the state be allowed to go forward and seek the death penalty based on false testimony?" Nurmi asked.
• Just last month, Nurmi learned that Mesa police had made a mirror image of the computer's hard drive in 2008, before some of the alterations took place, but had never provided it to the defense. The prosecution is legally and ethically obligated to turn over evidence, especially if it may cast a more favorable light on the defendant.
"The state has confessed to illegal behavior," Nurmi said. "The only option is to dismiss death against Ms. Arias."
Martinez claimed that there was no harm done to Arias' case. And he said that there was no way to prove who had actually viewed the pornography on what he described as a "communal computer."
But Nurmi's computer experts said repeatedly in recent hearings that the pornography would be hard to miss, and that the computer had an unusual number of "cleaning programs" that had likely been installed by Alexander to mask or erase the porn-viewing history.
Eventually the withheld evidence will derail any death sentence on appeal if Stephens does not dismiss it, Nurmi said.
"She will never be executed," he said.
In November, Stephens granted Arias' defense motion to allow witnesses to testify out of sight of the press and public. The Arizona Republic, 12 News and other media outlets sued for access and won in the Arizona Court of Appeals. Earlier this week, the Arizona Supreme Court refused to postpone that ruling while it was being appealed.
On Thursday, Stephens ordered the release of transcripts of the two closed-trial days with a witness who turned out to be Arias herself. Those transcripts are expected to be made public next week.
But Nurmi said in Friday's hearing that 14 of Arias' mitigation witnesses will refuse to testify if they have to do so in public.
Martinez countered that the witnesses could be subpoenaed and forced to testify, or that they could have been interviewed on video or prepared affidavits.
Nurmi claimed that Arias has been denied her right to a fair trial.
"It's game over," he said. "She cannot present a good defense."
Stephens took the matter under advisement.
If she rules against Arias, trial will resume Monday.

Toasting nuts is easy! Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake at 350F for 10 or 11 minutes. Don't be late on the timer–nuts will burn very quickly if not pulled out in time.
Why toast your own nuts? Sometimes raw, unroasted almonds are a little cheaper than their roasted counterparts. But the number one reason to toast at home is that nothing beats a freshly toasted almond or walnut. Some of the oils in raw almonds are volatile, which means they will vaporize quickly. When you buy pre-roasted nuts at the store, some of those delicious oils and fragrance are lost.
Among whole foods plant-based eaters there is some debate about nuts. Are they healthy? Too fatty? Is their calorie density too high? Avocado is often highlighted in this debate, since it is technically a nut, and it is very fatty. Some experts like Dr. Esselstyn, Jr. of the "Forks Over Knives" documentary limit or exclude nuts. Media often cites studies that claim nuts are part of a "healthy" diet, but without taking a critical eye to the studies themselves we can't be so sure the results are not affected by corporate influences or "greenwashing."
So is it ok to eat nuts as part of a whole foods plant based diet?
From my research I have decided that nuts are OK to eat. They are a plant. They are whole. They have fiber that helps "excessive" fat pass through your system. Most of the fat in nuts is monounsaturated. The body needs some fat. Realizing that nuts are a significant source of calories, I try not to go overboard.
The debate over nuts continues, but common sense can tell us that if the least healthy food that you eat in a day is a few whole, freshly-toasted nuts, then you're doing pretty well.

Human pheromones were first mentioned by a German physician in the 19th century. This physician was named Gustav Jäger, and he described these pheromones as effectively being the signature of
human odor.
Since the first mention of human pheromones, there have been many studies on many different aspects of pheromones.
Pheromone StudiesSome of these studies have been strictly on the impact that human pheromones have on physical attraction. And some are also on more broad topics and just understanding how they work.
One study demonstrated that when females were exposed to a specific chemical found in male sweat, it resulted in elevated cortisol levels. This chemical is detected by a part of the nose.
And it proves that although we may not be able to consciously identify the specific chemicals by odor, our bodies are capable of doing so. Similarly, a study investigated a synthetic chemical found in perfumes.
And the study concluded that this chemical resulted in elevated sexual contact with males. This an example of a powerful human pheromone being isolated and used in a perfume to increase appeal.
Another study which demonstrated the extreme power of human pheromones observed an effect which has since then been named the McClintock effect.
In short, this theory states that the menstrual cycles of women will either slow down or speed up to synchronize with the other women that they are frequently around.
The study which established this effect was conducted by exposing the women to a sample or perspiration which contains a larger number of pheromones.
Since the menstrual cycles of females exposed to sweat either sped up or slowed down, it has been theorized that there are two distinct pheromones at work in this situation which is responsible for this change.
Human Pheromone Attraction
Pheromones are what makes a person go after a particular individual in a room full of potential mates. It is one of the things that makes a person attractive before you get to know the individual.
It what makes that small thought in the back of your mind say, that a particular individual is the one you want to get to know. Most people are attracted to the person that releases the combination that best matches their chemistry.
It could be the person who has the least or the most depending on the other person's own reaction to pheromones according to http://thongchaimedical.org. Everyone is different but the effects cannot be denied. Pheromones are a powerful source of attraction in any species.
The feeling of knowing someone is attracted to you is at the best of times exquisite and at the worst of times flattering. Almost every person the world over whether consciously or unconsciously tries to make themselves more attractive to others.
This is done in many ways such as improving your appearance by working out, wearing makeup or dressing attractively. Pheromones also work to make oneself more attractive and although there may be a bit of mystery surrounding them in your mind, however, I assure you the end results are no different. Learn how pheromones work.
Effects of PheromonesGenerally, the desired effects by pheromone users are to stimulate affection in others. They also help prospective partners be drawn to yourself. And pheromones increase the intensity of the pull from yourself to others.
Pheromones are largely consciously unnoticed by people in normal situations. Pheromones work by selectively targeting receptors in the human brain.
This works to alter a person's experience to a more positive sensation. It helps to increase desire, longing for love and intimacy and greatly increases your attractiveness. Learn more about what are pheromones.
Pheromones have been shown in scientific studies to be effective in both animal and human experiments. Pheromone sprays are used by millions of people the world over.
These people are just looking for a way to increase their own attractiveness and success with women. If you're interested in pheromones take a look around our website. Learn more about pheromone sprays and how to maximize their effectiveness.

Painted Willie was a punk rock band started in 1984 in Los Angeles by drummer and film-maker Dave Markey after the demise of his first band, Sin 34. They were active from 1984 to 1987 and released one 7", two 12 inch EPs and three LPs.[1][2][3]
After the demise of SIN 34 the band's rhythm section (drummer Dave Markey and bassist Phil Newman) formed a new band with guitarists Vic Makauskas (formerly of SVDB) and Nick Delaney from Vancouver, Canada's No Exit. Newman chose the name Painted Willie from a 1950s thesaurus he had found in a thrift store which defined it as an old English acronym for homosexual, or more approximately transvestite or drag queen.[3][4]
Makauskas quit the band just before their first show at Cathay de Grande and Painted Willie became a trio and recorded a three-song (one song each from each member) eponymous 7-inch EP on Phil's own Spinhead Records. After a while, Delaney was expelled from the band because of tensions between him and the other two members. The band then records the My Fellow Americans 12-inch EP as a two-piece, with Newman playing both bass and guitar. For the live shows played in 1984, the band recruited guitar player Mike Vallejo of Circle One, who had also been a member of SIN 34. The band's first two self-produced releases displayed a distinct musical progression from Newman's and Markey's previous hardcore band, employing quirky, experimental and psychedelic elements.
Vic Makauskas was back in the band in 1985 as Painted Willie wrote a new set of material with somewhat of a more straight forward approach. They recorded two demos that got them signed to SST Records in 1985. The band re-recorded the ten songs they had done as demos with Black Flag guitarist Greg Ginn, producing and released it as the Mind Bowling LP.[4] SST also distributes Dave's new Super-8 feature film Lovedolls Superstar, the sequel to Desperate Teenage Lovedolls.
Painted Willie then embarked on a six-month national tour opening for Black Flag in 1986, with Gone as the opening act, which would be Black Flag's last tour. The band recorded and released a live EP recorded during that tour titled simply Live From Van Nuys. Dave filmed nine hours of footage for an eventual documentary of the tour Reality 86'd but Ginn didn't want it to be released. Black Flag singer Henry Rollins tried to have it released in 1994 through a distribution deal he struck with Time Warner but Ginn still refused.[3][5]
Painted Willie embarked on another US tour in 1987 in support their follow up LP Upsidedowntown, and broke apart soon thereafter while Newman joined the band I love you. In 1988 SST released a posthumous compilation of Painted Willie's early work on the LP Relics. This would be the band's swan song, along with a cover of Captain Beefheart's Clear Spot for The Melting Plot compilation. SST also re-distributed the 7" and 12" EPs Painted Willie released on Spinhead Records. DC-Jam Records re-released Mind Bowling on CD in 2009.[6]

PERSONALITY – Karel Matějček (Svět tisku 03/2010)
An interview with Managing Director of Komfi, Karel Matějček, in a regular section of Svět tisku called "The Personality", which introduces to the general public interesting and significant personalities from this branch of industry that have achieved much in their professional lives.
Besides meeting the Managing Director in person, you will also find out how we got from the production of single-purpose machines to the printing industry, how we built our current position in the world markets, which direction in this branch we are following, or why we established a daughter company in the Netherlands.
Selected parts of the article:
"There are not many purely domestic companies dealing with the production of printing machines and equipment that have built their global reputation from literally nothing and that belong to the leading players in their market segment nowadays. Komfi from Lanškroun, which has been operating in the market since 1992, is one of them. And Karel Matějček is the only person who has been leading the company - from its beginnings."
"How did you get to Komfi and actually to the world of the printing industry?
My professional career began with the position of a design engineer in the then Tesla Lanškroun, which belonged to significant companies producing condensers and passive electrotechnical components at that time. However, due to complicated relations to the then countries of Western Europe we had to arrange for the development and production of the whole range of components, which gave me a lot of experience for my future professional life. I went through the development department, as well as through the construction of tools and machines in Tesla. After the revolution I decided to throw myself into business although at first, I did not dream of a company of the size of today´s Komfi..."
"Why did you start producing your own printing machines in addition to these machines?
At that time, it was not so difficult to start producing printing machines. During the production of single-purpose machines we came across top-class technology and electronic equipment, which helped us much later during the production of print finishing machines.."
"Was it a long way to go from the first machine to a significant position in the world of laminating machines?
It certainly was. Although we had the first machine, we could not compare to other important players in the market...
While discussing competition and our position in the global markets, it is necessary to distinguish the segment of laminating machines, where we have to make difference between a group of producers who offer rather entry-level equipment and a group of producers who focus on industrial equipment. While at present the first group includes a lot of miner players who often come from China and therefore have a lot of competitors (especially in terms of price), competition in the latter segment is not so big, even though there are certainly not few competitors, either. That is why we increasingly more focus on comfortable operation of our machines and on other elements that make work with our laminators easier or that facilitate service intervention."
"However, your interest in the printing industry does not only focus on laminating, you have also started to offer solutions for UV varnishing. What led you to this step?
Again, it was the development in the current market. We are trying to address not only big companies specializing in laminating, but also smaller companies to whom we want to offer products that would correspond with their needs more. That is the case of both smaller automated laminators, which even a less experienced person may operate, and machines for spot and full-area varnishing. You can see in many markets that in connection with the crisis, which is discussed so much, people have started to save even in the area of surface finish, and the UV varnish is often a suitable alternative to lamination film."

Jason Hope Offers Insight on His Success in Technology
Jason Hope has spent his entire professional life pursuing his passion for technology, which he believes is the driving force behind change in the world. He is eager to share his experiences in building new technology, learning how to market it and reaching out to those outside of the technology community to share new developments in the field.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable things about Hope is that he has the unique combination of skill and expertise in the technology sector as well as the business savvy to take his projects and investments to the next level. After just a short chat with Jason Hope, it is quite clear that he possesses the entrepreneurial spirit and is happy to share his thoughts on business and technology with anyone interested.
What was your first major technological development?
I have always had a strong interest in mobile communications because I saw it as one of the most revolutionary ways to reach the broadest group of people around the world. Once I finished getting my business degree, I started experimenting with mobile technology and developed Jawa, a mobile communications company. Jawa is now a parent company of many other tech subsidiaries as well as other partnerships with leaders in the tech industry.
How do you figure out which ideas to invest in?
Based on my personal experience starting out in the tech industry, I know how crucial it is for budding entrepreneurs to have access to funding to get their ideas off the ground. I am grateful that I have been successful enough to offer a grant program to innovative thinkers with ideas that I believe can change the world. I review submissions from my website and then devote considerable time to researching the best ones to invest in.
What do you think is the next biggest wave to hit the tech industry?
As a futurist, I am most excited to experience how the Internet of Things will affect society. When new devices are launched into the market, they are increasingly built with connective capabilities so that they increase the breadth and depth of our communications. I think that the Internet of Things has the potential to revolutionize the way that we live and interact with each other. This can have huge implications for medical advancements and streamlining the way that we complete daily activities. I am hopeful that the Internet of Things will also create a more sustainable world for future generations to enjoy.
What is the best advice that you have for young entrepreneurs?
I think the most important thing to do when developing a new idea is to remember the bigger picture. It can be very tempting in the middle of a new project to get weighed down with the smaller details of individual tasks. However, real change occurs when you are able to take a fresh idea and make it accessible to as many people as possible. If you surround yourself with colleagues who are also passionate about the same things you are, it will be much easier for you to remain focused on the larger picture and see your ideas come to light.

What is something that you do for yourself outside of work that keeps you going?
Personal fitness has always been a top priority throughout my adult life. I believe that keeping my body healthy has allowed me to keep my mind sharp as well. I like keeping track of my fitness goals and seeing how much progress I have made. I have enjoyed incorporating new developments with personal fitness trackers into my exercise routine so that I can stay on top of my health on a daily basis. I think there is also lots of room for growth in this sector of the tech industry because more people have come to see the benefit of tracking personal fitness data over time.
As someone who is very involved in philanthropy, how do you find time to manage all of your commitments?
Time management has always been a strong skill of mine. I find it easier to make time for the things that I truly enjoy, such as working with the SENS Foundation, which focuses on developing new solutions for anti-aging. Some of the most exciting work they are doing is at the cellular level. I believe that these developments are the key to us living longer and healthier lives in the near future. I am incredibly proud to contribute to the great work being done at this foundation and look forward to continuing my involvement in the future.
What is one of the most important business skills to learn today?
No matter what industry you are involved in, online marketing is a key to success. If you can learn this skill early in your career, you will always have something to fall back on. Social media marketing is always going to be a necessary element of promoting a new product or company, which is why investing your resources wisely in this area or learning the skill yourself will pay dividends in the long-term. Having a solid digital marketing strategy is almost as important as having a high-quality product or service to sell. The challenge comes in dividing your time and resources between both necessary components of a successful company.
I would also add that networking is just as important as online marketing. You need to surround yourself with influential and passionate people to help grow your business during difficult times. It is always best to nurture these personal and professional relationships over time.

Intents Beginnings
Technically as I write this post, this blog has not been launched at all yet. Therefor if you are reading this on the 19th February 2014 then there are two possibilities. Either you are a search engine robot trawling the web for content, or you are me.
Who am I? I am Alex Garner, and what you are reading is the very beginning of Intents Offroad, a blog created for those of you who love camping, four wheel driving and other outdoor adventures.
I was born and raised a camper, tenting around Western Australia with my mother and father since before I can remember. The earliest memories involved a four wheel drive and a camper trailer in which myself and two younger brothers were carted all around the country
As many of you are reading this will know, all it takes is one trip and you can be hooked. I soon got into reading my dad's 4WD Monthly magazines at age 13 and I was destined to be a 4WDer and camper from that point on.
By the time age 18 rolled around I had found a love for photography, although I ended up beginning a career in motor mechanics, followed by ship building, then conservation and land management before finally realising I couldn't be settled until photography was out of my system. I did two years of study to gain a Diploma of Photography.
Which brings us to the here and now, and this whole Intents Offroad thing. Since my studies I have photographed and written for a few 4WD and travel publications, but I really want to be able to share a more personal side to my camping, 4wding and outdoors life with you. I want to tell you all that this new camping lantern is so amazing that I lost all ability to see in the dark for a week! Not just a bunch of facts off the box "oooh, 6 million lumens, IP68 water and dust proof!". I want you to feel that morning ocean breeze flowing straight from my campsite to whichever room you are in, not just read a bunch of details on how to get there. I may even go as far as to say that I want to wake up one morning covered in ant bites, so that you can see the importance of checking the ground before chucking the swag out.
Most of all, I want you to come to this blog to feel all of the adventure, excitement, relaxation and joy of the outdoors life and hopefully be inspired to rush straight out your own door as well.

Belated welcome to the world of blogging about the outdoors. Always good to have more of us around (we seem to be in short supply).
Hey mate, I didn't realise you had your own blog - awesome! Looking forward to reading the posts!

Love this philosophy! well done on starting your blog Alex. It looks great. Hope you find blogging as rewarding as we do. Caz and Chrissy awildland
Looking forward to following this blog
Love your blog mate keep up the good work i always look forward to your emails and product reviews.
Hi Alex Have enjoyed your many trips and tips. Keep doing this for as long as you are enthusiastic and enjoying the experience. Every time I see you and the boys and girls out there enjoying the simple things it enthuses me to plan my next trip to the bush where ever that may be. I am particularly pleased by your simple but poignant and important comments on safety and care, even if at times with a wry smile. This will make many more people look after our wonderful space and place in Western Australia. Cheers David
Hey Alex, I've watched a lot of your videos on YouTube which I have really enjoyed. I like your style, keep up the good work.

Bubba Watson surprises members at local golf club: video
Bubba Watson surprises members by turning up to play and work at their local golf club.
Bubba Watson comes across great in this video and his prowess with the right handed set of clubs is amazing.
Bubba is certainly getting out and about this year. In between designing golf hovercraft and working at local golf courses, it's a wonder he has any time to practice in order to defend his green jacket. By the looks of it he could play with a set of right handed clubs and still win.
Tip o' the hat the the Armchair Golfer for finding this one.

Ah, vaping. A modern miracle, don't you say? Here is the deal on how the technology comes together to create an unbelievably pleasurable, immensely revolutionary lifestyle option that has changed the way smokers live. Freedom is a beautiful thing!
By now, you've got a pretty good idea about what vaping is, and the basic idea of it offering an alternative to smokers who want the same pleasure minus the smoke. Vaping is done by using a device (there are many different types) with a nicotine e-juice solution, to recreate the concept of smoking, without combustion, burning anything, creating smoke, tar, or any offensive odor. When the liquid is processed through the device, a cloud of vapor, with or without nicotine is inhaled, and the user enjoys the feeling of satisfaction. It's an innovative world, and we are enjoying it all; one puff at a time!
If you're new to vaping, the lingo can be a bit overwhelming. Check out our Vapor Glossary of Terms to help you get through that learning curve.
When vaping, there are a wide array of different products you can use to achieve the desired results. People have preferences, and luckily there are so many options for those want to try different things.
The basic parts: a device, an atomizer, a battery, e-liquid, and a tank for holding liquid. Those are the main components of the action.
The battery provides power to the device, and it may or may not be built into the device. Upon hitting the device, the battery will activate the atomizer by sending a charge directly to it, signaling heat up. The atomizer is the mechanism responsible for transforming the nicotine e-liquid, which is stored in the tank, into the luscious clouds of vapor. Once it vaporizes the liquid, the user instantaneously receives it via their puff, exhaling accordingly,
While this is the simple explanation of how things get done, quality is a major factor that can play a role in the performance factor. As in, better quality equals better performance. Lucky for you, quality and performance are our specialty.

Evolution can't be replicated (Talk.Origins)
Claim CA220:
- Science requires experiments that can be replicated. Evolution can not be replicated, so it is not science.
Source: Morris, Henry M. 1985. Scientific Creationism. Green Forest, AR: Master Books, p. 4.
CreationWiki response:
We always need to make sure we understand the argument correctly in order to deal with its rebuttals. What is meant when someone says that evolution is not replicable? Now think about the grand theory of evolution and what it teaches. It teaches us that all living creatures descended from a common ancestor or a few of them by purely natural means. It teaches us that nature, on its own, can create new genetic information in order to build more complex living creatures from simpler ones. It says that over a long period some bacteria-like creature in a population of such creatures changed into fish, a certain number of which changed into amphibians, a certain number of which changed into reptiles, a certain number of which changed into birds or mammals, a few of which changed into us. They believe that this was done primarily via natural selection and mutation. When did this all happen? According to evolutionists, it happened for millions and millions of years before humans even evolved from their ape ancestors. Now how can such a theory be repeated? It cannot be repeated, i.e., the theory is not replicable. According to evolutionists, the processes are so slow that we cannot observe the major tenets of the theory, i.e. massive genetic and morphological change and increase in genetic information happening today, because they are either so slow (gradualism) or too fast to show up in the fossil record (punctuated equilibrium). Since the major tenets of the hypothesis cannot be observed, they are not scientific. And such a grand theory cannot be replicated, adding veracity to the claim that evolution is primarily unscientific.
Let's see how Talk Origins deals with the claim.
(Talk.Origins quotes in blue)
Science requires that observations can be replicated. The observations on which evolution is based, including comparative anatomy, genetics, and fossils, are replicable. In many cases, you can repeat the observations yourself.
The fact is that the observations on which evolution is based are too minor to verify evolution alone and exclude no other model of origins and development.
- Comparative genetics, on a purely scientific level, can only tell us that certain animals have similarities. Both evolutionists and creationists have explanations for these similarities, so repeating such observations proves nothing.
- Fossils and their supposed order in the hypothetical geologic column has been observed by both creationists and evolutionists, both having explanations for the majority of them with catastrophe playing a major role in their formation. The order of their deposition has explanations from both sides of the debate, and the fact that catastrophe appears to have played a role in their formation is actually evidence for the Genesis flood. What exactly would you replicate when looking at a fossil? You can't replicate the actual conditions that caused their burial and formation. I guess you can only look at the same fossils again and again.
- Genetics again doesn't prove anything with the exclusion of other scientific models. Looking at similarities in the genetic code of different animals alongside the differences in the genetic code cannot tell you how the code formed in the first place and there are explanations from both sides about the similarities and differences. You cannot replicate the increase in genetic information, and its development within each group of animals. If a person wishes to try to construct some sort of genetic family tree, it is not based on replicability, but on a belief that one family of animal must have developed from another family.
The observations that are done in the present cannot tell you what happened in the ultimately unknown past of millions and millions of years since, because there is no witness to observe the conditions of the world and universe in that hypothetical time-frame.
Repeatable experiments, including experiments about mutations and natural selection in the laboratory and in the field, also support evolution.
Firstly, this statement has no evidence behind it. The writer could have given some evidence for his point of view rather than stating this empty statement.
Secondly, observations concerning mutation and natural selection in field experiments like the Peppered Moth experiment (which is questionable), and laboratory experiments, such as the experiment that involved exposing a species of fly with radiation and chemicals, show extremely minor changes within a family of animal compared to the grand claims the theory of evolution makes, saying that one kind of animal can change into another. Such minor changes do not support evolution and is easily incorporated and understood in creation science.
So the points are
- On a whole, the theory of evolution is not replicable.
- The evidences that are said to support it do not do so strongly, if at all, neither do they exclude the creation model.

Today is my grand daughter's birthday.
Beautiful Gianina is 11 years old today.
She is a truly beautiful being with only love in her heart.
She lives and teaches by her example.
Teach By Example
Do you make your bed in the morning?
Are you grateful that you have a bed?
Do you eat meals you prepare with consciousness?
Are you thankful that you have nutritious food?
Do you breathe the air and greet the day with gratitude?
Do you respect your life and the life of those around you?
Are you aware that your appreciation influences everyone you encounter?
Do you notice that your consciousness and conscientiousness makes a difference?
Your energy matters.
If you are cranky, those you live with and talk to receive "cranky" energy.
If you are happy, those you encounter receive your positive energy.
And yes, the more you are emitting positive energy, the less you will pick up on the negative energy.
The more you are feeling negative and needy, the more you will absorb whatever is in your space.
When we have guilt, regret or shame, we withhold our energy.
Our energy becomes distorted with fear, contraction, and toxicity.
Where we have forgiven all our mistakes and are choose again the best we know, our energy is healthy.
When we are judging, withholding, blaming or grieving, our energy is unhealthy for everyone.
How do I do it?
Even though I listen to and flush, clear and forgive lots of yucky stuff, I stay positive.
I flush the cosmic toilet and release all the toxic material quickly and easily.
I choose to use the poopy stuff as fertilizer for growth when neutralized with forgiveness.
I remember nothing but what is good and helpful, essential and true, loving and blessed.
Bless your life.
Bless your past.
Bless your relationships.
Bless your experiences.
Give each day to the highest Good you know.
Live each day being the Person you strive to be.
Share each day stories of gratitude and joy.
Erase each day memories of mistakes and pain.
Make your bed and clean up your space with appreciation.
Enjoy each meal with gratitude for those who serve you (especially yourself!).
Speak each word with respect for those who hear you.
Live each moment as though you are teaching your world what you want the world to be.
You see, it really is all up to you!
Your life is truly what you make it.
Loving the Good in You with all my heart and mind and spirit,
Betty Lue
We celebrated last week.

This month's featured post is the first Random Jottings blog I wrote just after publishing my first book, 'Angel with Drumsticks'.
Looking back, I remember feeling very proud of my accomplishment but also unsure if it was good enough to share bookshelves with other authors. I was fortunate to find some reviewers willing to read the story and they gave my work some very kind reviews. This gave me the confidence to publish my second book 'For the Love of a Dingo'
I read as much as I could about Indie (independent) or self-published authors and the need to promote not only your books but yourself. There were two key areas I have focused on.
- Building relationships with other authors
- Social media and internet presence
Meeting and sharing with other authors is beneficial in many ways. My small circle have honestly reviewed each other's books, shared each other's social media posts and freely offered advice on a range of topics relating to writing and publishing.
More recently, I joined my local branch of the Fellowship of Australian Writers (FAW). Not only is my writing critiqued, and therefore improving, I have found a group of people who are friendly, sharing and encouraging. I get inspiration, learning and friendship.
Three years ago I published one little eBook. Last year I published my second book. I am now researching my next book, writing three blogs, compose short pieces for the local FAW magazine on given topics, review books for other Indie authors, administer four Facebook pages related to my writing and actively post on other social media forums.
Life as a writer does not have to be a lonely existence.
Excerpts of both books, copies of the reviews, links to my other blogs and social media pages are on my website www.pam.id.au)
As my original blog post explains, originally "Angel" was only published as an eBook. Today, both books also have print editions and "Angel" has also been translated into Italian.
This has been made possible thanks to Ingram Spark's easy to use print on demand process and my husband's patience in laying out the books to meet their requirements. (http://www.taufer.com.au/)

JAC Italy R&D center has developed very quickly in recent years, no matter its products' quality or the forward-looking conceptual design. It represents JAC's design has reached a new level. And underneath this has to be the supports from European cooperation partners. Only with their helps can JAC Italy R&D center achieve today's design level.
In order to celebrate the 10 anniversary of JAC Italy R&D center, JAC will shoot a documentary to unravel the development of Italy R&D center as well as interview its important corporation partners. Today, let's follow JAC journalists to know three important partners: ISMB, MAGNA STEYR and Vercamodel Saro.
ISMB Company is a non-profit scientific research center and devoted to applied research, who is jointly established by Politecnico Di Torino and one of the Eu biggest banks -Sanpaolo Bank and its major shareholder is Sanpaolo Bank.
ISMB Company has many very powerful scientific research partners such as Microsoft Corporation, telecom, AB SKF, ST Microelectronics, econocom and others. In 13 years of operation, ISMB Company's success is reflected in some of the best scientific research achievements and results including the European projects and the admiration from its cooperation partners.
Starting from the cooperation with Politecnico Di Torino, and telecom, AB SKF, ST Microelectronics, econocom companies join ISMB's board of directors one by one. For example, Microsoft Corporation established an Innovation Center in ISMB's laboratory, which researched on the cloud technology and embedded system and it also involved in the JAC project.
ISMB is also one of the important parts of the European Galileo space program. Only three such scientific research teams in Europe and two others are located in Munich, Germany and Toulouse, France.
In the field of information communication technology, according to the global trend and official instructions from European Commission, ISMB identified three major application fields: energy, intelligent city and intelligent health.
ISMB also focus on the auto innovation industry such as the simulation of the electric vehicle maneuverability, the communication between vehicles, sustainable new mobile solutions, small public vehicle and vehicular unit with the function of Information exchange.
Recently, the project of vehicle intelligent entertainment information system is cooperated with JAC, and the design concept and product prototype will release in 2016 Beijing Auto Show. One of very challenging targets in this project is to design the newest intelligent entertainment information which can realize the communication between driver and vehicle. And it also will become the first such product in the global auto market.
The key concept of this system is to apply the hand gesture recognition system to reduce the distraction of drivers during the process of driving, which can enhance the safety. This system can identify a series of hand movements and give the corresponding response and voice feedback.
It is worth mentioning that the gestures to write function makes the drive can write in the air. Now, this system can identify all the English character, and in the future it will identify Chinese.

FrancesRay Jules in Boston, Massachusetts, is a professional salon offering high-quality services performed by amazing artists Ben Mitrano and Richard Burgess. The name of our salon comes from our founder's family. His father is Ray and his mother is Frances. We opened more than 15 years ago and in just five short years we had quadrupled in size. After the economy crashed we decided to downsize to get back out to our own roots.
Ben is the owner of FrancesRay Jules. He has over 15 years of experience as a stylist, including working at Judy Jetson Inc. in Cambridge, as a director of the Elizabeth Arden Salon at Saks Fifth Avenue, and a stylist at Man in the Moon Salon at Fanueil Hall. Growing up with five sisters, Ben was persistently exposed to the world of hair and makeup. Following his love for art, theatre, and fashion, a career in the ever-changing hair industry would be the perfect fit. While at Saks, he worked at most, if not all the runway fashion shows for the Fifth Avenue Club and many other fashion events, benefiting local and national charities.
After opening FrancesRay Jules in 2001 and noticing its success, Ben decided to broaden his horizons and expand his Boston location, going from four styling stations to six, with the addition of a color bar, larger nail area, full skin care, waxing, massage, and body treatments, as well as backing the launch of our Jules Makeup line.

This includes workshops at Wella International, Bio Ionic Straightening, Sebastian International, Sexy Hair Concepts, Aquage, American Crew, and many more.
Ben specializes in all aspects of styling, including precision cutting and color correction.

A brand new Brewery is coming to Conception Bay South, next year.
Ninepenny Brewing is set to open its doors and start pouring pints in late 2018.
The name comes from a 19th century slang term for beer, as well as celebrating the nine communities that amalgamated to become Conception Bay South.
Owned and operated by four born and raised Newfoundlanders, Keith and Glenn Bartlett, Dwayne Moores and Justin Mayo, the group has been brewing beer and wine individually for years, but came together three years ago to begin brewing as a team.
In addition to the brewery, Ninepenny will also feature a taproom and the sales of select beers to restaurants and other taprooms.

I read many things throughout a week, and this one caught my attention.
Deep down inside, this is a heartbeat of mine. I long for seeing, and being a part of a Spirit led revival. But, how will it begin…what will I see? The more I read about revival, the more I understand that it is God working the the heart of one individual, which then spreads to those around them, and finally to a larger group.
Am I that one individual?
Are you?
I read this from Josh Hunt's blog a few months ago, and it has been haunting me in a good way.
How to have a personal revival
While revivals are usually talked about at the corporate or societal level, they all begin with individuals. One of the spiritual giants in the history of the church addresses the bottom line of individual responsibility.
- Get thoroughly dissatisfied with yourself. Complacency is the enemy of spiritual progress. A contented soul is a stagnant soul.
- Set your face like a flint toward a sweeping transformation of your life. Timid experimenters are tagged for failure before they start. We must throw our whole soul into our desire for God.
- Put yourself in the way of the blessing. It is a mistake to expect God's help to come as a windfall apart from conditions known and met. There are plainly marked paths which lead straight to the green pastures; let us walk in them. To desire revival, for instance, and at the same time neglect prayer and devotion is to wish one way and walk another.
- Do a thorough job of repenting. Do not hurry to get it over with. Hasty repentance means shallow spiritual experience and lack of certainty in the whole life. Let godly sorrow do her healing work. Until we allow the consciousness of sin to wound us we will never develop a fear of evil.
- Make restitution wherever possible. If you owe a debt, pay it, or at least have a frank understanding with your creditor about your intention to pay, so your honesty will be above question. If you have quarreled with anyone, go as far as you can in an effort to achieve reconciliation.
- Bring your life into accord with such Scripture as are designed to instruct us in the way of righteousness. An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly. I recommend that self-examination be made on our knees, rising to obey God's commandments as they are revealed to us from the Word.
- Be serious-minded. You can well afford to see fewer comedy shows on TV. Unless you break away from the funny boys, every spiritual impression will continue to be lost to your heart, and that right in your own living room. The people of the world used to go to the movies to escape serious thinking about God. You would not join them there, but you now enjoy spiritual communion with them in your own home. The devil's ideals, moral standards, and mental attitudes are being accepted by you without your knowledge.
- Deliberately narrow your interests. Too many projects use up time and energy without bringing us near to God.
Have faith in God. Begin to expect. Look up toward the throne where your Advocate sits at the right hand of God. All heaven is on your side. God will not disappoint you. Excerpted from A. W. Tozer, How to Have a Personal Revival (Camp Hill, Pennsylvania: Christian Publications, 1983). Used by permission.

Job Interview Follow Up Call: 3 Tips
The job interview follow up call can serve to increase your chances of securing the job, as it demonstrates your strong interest in the position. However, if you don't perform the call correctly, you can decrease your chances of getting the job. These tips can help you properly approach the job interview follow up call.
1. Wait Five to Eight Business Days
The first rule of the job interview follow up call is to wait five to eight business days before you make the call. You need to give the job interviewer time to conduct other interviews and think over her decision. You may even hear from her first, whether by mail or phone, so you also need to allow time for her to contact you first. If you don't hear from the job interviewer for five to eight business days, you can take the initiative to ask about the status of her decision.
2. Remain Cordial and Appropriate
Your follow up call may actually serve as an extension of your job interview. Don't assume you're out of the running for the job, and even if you do find that the position has been filled, don't ruin your chances to be considered for future positions by acting impolite. Even if the company doesn't have another position in the near future, the job interviewer may have connections in the field. You want to leave her with a favorable impression.
3. Know What to Say: Be Concise and Clear
When you make your job interview follow up call, you want to get right to the point. However, you mustn't forget that you're going to want to continue to impress. Grab paper and a pen in order to take notes and try the following outline for your call:
- Identify yourself and ask for the job interviewer by name, asking for Ms. Smith, for instance. Once you reach the job interviewer, you should identify yourself again and remind her what position you interviewed for and when you interviewed. If you call the job interviewer directly and the interviewer identifies herself or you get voice mail, you can just start by identifying yourself, the position you interviewed for and the date you interviewed.
- Ask about the status of the decision for the position. Don't say anything about not hearing from the job interviewer or imply that the job interviewer should have made a decision by now. Instead, remain cordial and interested in the status. If you're recording a voice mail, clearly and slowly tell the job interviewer your phone number so that she can return your call. You can then try calling her back after two business days if you do not hear from her.
- If the job interviewer indicates that the position has been filled, do not show disappointment. Thank her for her time and consideration and express your enthusiasm for the company. Tell the job interviewer to keep you in mind for future positions.
- If the job interviewer indicates that the decision is still pending, take another opportunity to emphasize your interest in the company and the position. Reiterate that you welcome hearing from her once she has made her decision or if she has any further questions for you.

New Delhi, Aug 16:
A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about steps taken to unearth black money in his Independence Day speech, the CII hailed the Centre's efforts to fight the menace while advocating 'stringent punishments' for offenders.
"Black money is a serious problem, which needs strict handling. The black money that is either outside the country and or inside needs to be brought into the economic mainstream for obvious reasons," Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) director general Chandrajit Banerjee said in a statement here on Sunday.
"In this context the Black Money (Undisclosed Foreign Income and Assets) and Imposition of Tax Act, 2015′, provides for strict prosecution mechanism and also provides a one-time voluntary compliance opportunity for immunity from prosecution if appropriate taxes and penalty have been paid. This is a step in the right direction which will help in curbing black money," he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said a host of steps have been taken by his government to tackle black money — from the appointment of a special probe team to enacting a stringent law to prevent such practices and punish its perpetrators.
He said that when he took over last year, the Central Bureau of Investigation was probing some 800 cases of black money. Now 1,800 cases were being examined.
The CII said the government has taken several steps including agreements with countries like the US for real time sharing of information on Indian nationals holding assets abroad.
Many countries across the world have adopted measures to prevent illicit financial outflows and promote disclosure of unreported income, stringent penalties are applicable under money laundering legislations globally, the industry chamber added.
Addressing the nation on India's 69th Independence Day, Modi said: "Even at the G20 meeting, I raised the issue and we have been promised cooperation."
Earlier this month, the government said the information provided during the one-time compliance window on black money, expiring next month-end, can be revealed in the public interest.
"By and large, the information would be kept confidential. Under the new law (black money), it is not the case that we will put up a public notice that so and so has availed the benefit and paid tax," Revenue Secretary Shaktikanta Das said at a "Talkathon" here with Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) chairperson Anita Kapur.
"However, the department can declare it in public interest," he said.
The department had earlier released a list of FAQs, which also said disclosures made under the said Act would have "immunity from prosecution under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), Income Tax Act, Wealth Tax Act, Companies Act and Customs Act".
It, however, does not provide immunity from prosecution under any other statute.
The offence of wilful attempt to evade tax will also not be an offence under the PMLA, the FAQs added.
The one-time 90-day compliance window granted to foreign asset holders to make a declaration, however, does not guarantee immunity for wealth generated from corruption, it said.
The black money act for the first time allows levy of tax in India on assets kept abroad. Unlawful, undisclosed income abroad is taxed at a rate of 30 percent with an additional 30 percent penalty.
Failure to meet the declaration compliance window will attract an additional penalty of 90 percent for a total tax liability of 120 percent on the quantum of black money abroad.
The ministry has notified September 30 as the expiry date of the compliance window, while allowing those with undisclosed income and assets abroad time till December 31 to pay the levies.
An unofficial estimate of Indians' black money puts the sum somewhere between $466 billion and $1.4 trillion. (IANS)

Want to see and read about a hilarious story and video? Then check out this footage and brief report at the HuffPost. A college student at Bellarmine University located in Kentucky had quite the encounter with a raccoon. Many people conflate raccoons markings as being similar to the stereotypical bandit wearing a robber's mask.
A student, whose name is Guy saw a raccoon and decided to snap a video of him. To get up close to the creature, Guy said he threw acorns to the animal. The raccoon feasted on the acorns for a while but then got bored.
As Guy Williams was filming the raccoon up close, Stanley dashed for the camera that was recording him and swiped it from Guy! Stanley was the nickname the college student had given the raccoon that he was filming and feeding. What is truly hilarious about this viral video is that the camera was on the entire time.
The phone camera was on while Stanley the Racoon phone thief had it in his possession. You can say that the entire robbery was caught on camera and that authorities had all the evidence they need to determine who stole Guy William's phone! The story has a happy ending. The phone thief raccoon eventually dropped the phone. Guy managed to locate the phone by dialing his number and heading towards the sound.
The college student insists that there was no harm done to the raccoon during the search for the stolen phone. At one point, the student thought about reporting the incident to college security but decided against it. The viral video of the phone heist by Stanley the Racoon had gotten almost 7 million views on YouTube. There were also hundreds of thousands of tweets about this incident. Stanley the Racoon is now somewhat of a legendary figure at the college. I also think that Guy and Stanley have bonded even more after the event.

The Italian-manufactured Icematic range is one of Europe's most highly regarded ice making machines.
While it's very much a behind-the-scenes utility, effective ice production is something that most restaurants and bars simply couldn't do without.
The Italian-manufactured Icematic range includes modular ice machines, undercounter ice machines, ice flakers, and separate storage bins.
One of the key differentiators of the Icematic range is the size and quality of ice it produces - specifically, 8g or 20g cubes, which have a unique solid ice cube shape.
