SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- An Arkansas state judge has given his final OK to a settlement that Google Inc. reached in a closely watched click-fraud class-action lawsuit.
Under terms of the settlement, Google
Another $30 million from Google will go to pay attorneys' fees.
The suit was among the most high-profile parts of the litigation wave against Google and other top search engines spotlighting the problem of click fraud. Loosely defined, click fraud takes advantage of how Google, Yahoo Inc. YHOO and other Internet firms serve up advertisements on Web sites.
Each charges advertisers a fee, ranging from pennies to thousands of dollars, every time one of their ads gets a click. Click fraud occurs when an Internet advertisement is clicked on in bad faith, either by someone looking for financial gain, or to force the company placing the ad to pay lots of extra fees.
The scope of the problem is subject to much debate. Some advertisers believe click fraud is extensive, with as much as 30% of all clicks are fraudulent and forcing advertisers to pay Google and others more than $1.3 billion extra each year.
But search engines and other entities distributing Internet ads say the effect is vastly overblown, and the percentage of fraudulent clicks is in the low single digits.
By approving the settlement Thursday, Miller County Judge Joe Griffin effectively ends Google's participation in the class-action lawsuit, which was filed by two Arkansas businesses and Internet advertisers Lane's Gifts and Collectibles and Caulfield Investigations in February 2005.
But it won't necessarily end the case, which has ballooned in scope into a class action and represents tens of thousands of Google advertisers. The settlement's being contested in another lawsuit filed in California that's still pending.
The $90 million agreement that Griffin ruled on affects Google only. Yahoo and other defendants in the case have chosen not to settle.
The deal was also hotly contested. So far, some 51 people objected to taking part in it, meaning they can still pursue separate legal actions against Google.
Some consumer advocates say Google's getting off too easily given the apparent scope of the problem. But Google has defended the settlement terms in the past.
In his decision, Miller wrote that "the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate for all members of the class."
For its part, Mountain View, Calif.-based Google was predictably pleased.
"We're pleased Judge Griffin affirmed the settlement as appropriate and fair to advertisers," Google General Counsel Nicole Wong said in an emailed statement. "We look forward to continuing to manage invalid clicks effectively and provide our advertisers with an outstanding return on investment."
An aide for the lead attorney representing Lane's confirmed the settlement had been approved, but didn't comment further.

Young entrepreneurs from Griffithstown Primary School are starting their summer holidays on a high after winning the 2018 Torfaen Enterprise Week.
The team from Griffithstown worked with One2One Mortgage Solutions in Cwmbran to design and develop memory jars, which they sold in Pontypool Indoor Market as part of the enterprise week challenge.
The memory jars, which were inspired by the school's status as the first Dementia Friendly School in Torfaen, proved to be a hit, selling out and netting the children a turnover of more than £400 and a free class trip to Greenmeadow Community Farm.
In fact the memory jars were so popular that market stall B's Crafts and Frames will now stock and sell them on behalf of the school on a regular basis.
A portion of all the profits will be donated to Rowan House where the children visit to spend time with the residents and learn about dementia.
Sinae Ireland from team GM Jars said: "I enjoyed selling the jars at the market the most. We made £401 and we will donate 20 per cent of that to Rowan House. I like working with One2One. We learnt a lot about business and they made our lessons fun."
Mark Taylor, director at One2One Mortgage Solutions, said: "It is the first time we have done something like this and the team really enjoyed working with the children at the school. We like to give back to the community where we can and this was a project where we thought we could really help. I would like to say well done to everyone at Griffithstown for doing such a fantastic job."
Children from George Street, Griffithstown, New Inn, Penygarn, Garnteg, Cwmffrwdoer and Blaenavon primary schools all took part in the project, and designed and developed products to sell in Pontypool Indoor Market.
They were mentored and supported by Funky Festival Clothing, Everett, Tomlin, Lloyd & Pratt Solicitors, Frog Bikes, One2One Mortgage Solutions, Pro Steel Engineering, RWA Compliance, and Tesco. Businesses visited the schools to run workshops on skills such as design and marketing, and the schools also visited businesses in return to experience a working environment.
A team of teenagers and young adults from Inspire 2 Torfaen also worked with local company The Best of Torfaen to gain an enterprise qualification during the project. The aim of the project was to give school children a greater appreciation of business and improve related skills such as design, finance, numeracy and problem solving that will carry over into the classroom, while also building better links between businesses and the community.
Councillor Alan Jones, executive member with responsibility for business, said: "This is our second school enterprise week and it has been a fantastic success. The schools and their business mentors have been working really hard over the last few months and I was astonished to hear that in total they raised more than £2000.
"I would like to thank all of the schools who took part, all of the businesses for giving up their time to work with the children, and also to Greenmeadow Community Farm for donating the prize."

Chemicals are used to some degree in every single workplace, from industrial plants to labs and agriculture, and even in office environments. Anywhere that chemicals exist, so too does the potential for a hazardous chemical spill.
Regardless of the kind of chemical that you're working with, any workplace with chemicals on site needs to implement the right procedures to deal with hazardous spills – and the options are endless. A few weeks ago we discussed which spill absorbent was right for you – but how do you know which spill control product might save you money when using it? Keep reading for answers.
Pay Attention to Absorption Capacity
Buying the cheapest absorbent may save you money on the front end, but if you have a large spill, it can cost you two to three times as much to clean a spill with that cheap absorbent. Why? It just can't absorb as much, so you end up using more. Paying a little bit more for your absorbent to get something with a higher absorption capacity means that you actually use less and save money.
Ask to see absorption specifications of your absorbent. Most reputable manufacturers will have these that they can provide you.
Use a Neutralizing Absorbent FOR Safer Clean Up
Neutralizers make it much safer to clean up a chemical spills, and there are many different kinds on the market. The key benefit to this type of clean-up agent is the safety is provides to the worker – there's no risk for chemical injury, which means no lost work days – any HSE professional can tell you the cost of these days plus insurance rate increases!
Look for neutralizing absorbents that change colour depending the chemical pH so works know when the spill is safe to clean up. A little bit of prevention can save thousands in injury costs later.
Declassification: The Ultimate Money Saver
Ultimate money save! As mentioned in absorption capacity above, the real cost of hazardous material clean up lies in the disposal fees, which is something that very few people think about when selecting an absorbent. You pay per weight, and it gets pricey.
Wouldn't it be great if there was an absorbent that could turn hazardous chemicals into non-hazardous materials? These products are available and can be well worth their slight increase in upfront costs.
Simplify Your Response with Universal Products
'Time is money' is an old adage, but it still rings true. Simplifying your response plan saves money on training and leads to quicker clean up responses. The last time you want to be trying to read the instructions and get your degree in Spill-ogoly is when a hazardous chemical is already on the ground!
Universal products make this easy by allowing your protocols to include simple steps and avoid the guesswork of determining what chemical product is spilled. There's no selecting the wrong product to use – no one will have issues with the simplicity of "Use This Single Product for Liquid Spills"!
Check Your Spill Kits
Spill kits are for emergencies, so the product needs to be there for when you need it. Ensure the products haven't absorbed water from damp air or have expired and are no longer effective. I also recommend you always go with products without an expiration date; most do last a long time if stored correctly.
We highly recommend that you add your spill kits into your regular building and life-saving equipment inspections. Spill response is part of the legislature in every province and you can be fined for not having an adequate response plan. Having expired or missing product immediately fails these requirements and the fines for non-compliance can be quite hefty.
Oh, and if you're thinking how great it would be to have a magical product that could help take care of all these points, either wander over to this page or get in touch with us. We'd be happy to speak with you about improving your spill control program and minimizing your response times.

The Blueskye Report, April 2017: Kristin Chenoweth, Kenny Loggins, Keith Sweat, Brant Bjork—and Tons More!March 29 2017
The biggest month for music in the Coachella Valley is here, thanks to Coachella and Stagecoach—and even if you're not going to either of the fests, there are still plenty of other things to do.
The McCallum Theatre has a variety of shows in April, the last big month in the theater's 2016-2017 season. At 8 p.m., Thursday, April 6, the daughter of Lucy and Desi, Lucie Arnaz will be performing her favorites from the Great American Songbook, backed by the Desert Symphony. Tickets are $67 to $115. At 8 p.m., Friday, April 7, get ready to laugh with Rita Rudner. Rudner is a legendary comedienne and will have you in stitches. Tickets are $37 to $87. At 8 p.m. Saturday, April 22, actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth will perform songs from Glee, Wicked and various Broadway standards. Tickets are $57 to $97. McCallum Theatre, 73000 Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert; 760-340-2787; www.mccallumtheatre.com.
Fantasy Springs Resort Casino has a great April schedule. At 8 p.m., Friday, April 7, Kenny Loggins will be performing. Loggins has had quite a career, including "Danger Zone" from Top Gun (and, more recently, Archer), "I'm Alright" from Caddyshack, the main song for the Footloose soundtrack—and a lot of hits that weren't in movies. Alas, when I interviewed Loggins at Stagecoach in 2013, he was more interested in the M&Ms he was eating off of a napkin than my questions. Tickets are $39 to $69. At 8 p.m., Saturday, April 8, Creedence Clearwater Revisited will be returning to the desert. The PR rep told me the group has a new singer, Dan McGuinness, who had subbed at various times for former vocalist John Tristao. Tickets are $39 to $59. At 8 p.m., Friday, April 21, David Crosby will be stopping by for a solo performance. On top of his work with Crosby, Stills and Nash, he was a member of The Byrds, and he's been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with both bands. Tickets are $39 to $59. Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, 84245 Indio Springs Parkway, Indio; 800-827-2946; www.fantasyspringsresort.com.
Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa is hosting several sold-out shows in April, but as of our press deadline, there was still one show with tickets left: At 8 p.m., Saturday, April 22, actor and comedian Kevin James will be appearing. James had a successful run on the show The King of Queens, and achieved some degree of movie fame by playing Paul Blart: Mall Cop. It seems in recent years that he's been in too many bad projects produced by Adam Sandler. It should be interesting to see how his stand-up comedy will be after years of sitcoms and films. Tickets are $65 to $95. The Show at Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa, 32250 Bob Hope Drive, Rancho Mirage; 888-999-1995; www.hotwatercasino.com.
Spotlight 29 casino has a couple of events to consider. At 8 p.m., Saturday, April 22, '80s/'90s R&B sensation Keith Sweat (upper right) will be performing. Some of the best R&B music of that era was written and performed by Sweat; he's released 12 albums and won the Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist Award at the 1997 American Music Awards. Tickets are $25 to $45. I can't believe I am about to write this sentence: At 8 p.m., Saturday, April 29, Extreme Midget Wrestling will be returning to Spotlight 29. I honestly don't know what to say here. Like anyone else, people with dwarfism are doctors, scientists, actors and actresses—yet people often first think of crap like this when it comes to dwarfism. Also, most people with dwarfism prefer the term "little people." Whatever entertainment floats your boat, I guess. Tickets are $20. Spotlight 29 Casino, 46200 Harrison Place, Coachella; 760-775-5566; www.spotlight29.com.
Morongo Casino Resort Spa, much like Agua Caliente, is hosting a lot of great April shows that are already sold out. Get ready for glistening beefcake when Thunder From Down Under returns at 8 p.m., Friday, April 7. Tickets are $25—and the show was close to selling out as of our deadline, so act fast. At 9 p.m., Friday, April 28, Jana Kramer will take the stage. You may know her from One Tree Hill or (gag) Dancing With the Stars, but both her albums have reached the Top 5 on the U.S. country charts. Tickets are $29. Morongo Casino Resort Spa, 49500 Seminole Drive, Cabazon; 800-252-4499; www.morongocasinoresort.com.
Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace is the place to be in April, especially during Coachella and Stagecoach, when a lot of the festival acts stop by. At 8 p.m., Thursday, April 6, the band named after a KCRW DJ, Cherry Glazerr will be performing. Considering KCRW has been playing the band quite a bit, and Chery Glaser herself said she's honored by the band's name, it's worth going to check them out. Tickets are $14. At 4 p.m., Saturday, April 8, Brant Bjork will be bringing back his Rolling Heavy-sponsored Desert Generator festival. On the bill this time are Earthless, Orchid, The Shrine and Black Rainbows. Tickets are $55 to $295. At 9 p.m., Sunday, April 30, hot off a Stagecoach performance, Son Volt will perform. Tickets are $25. Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace, 53688 Pioneertown Road, Pioneertown; 760-365-5956; www.pappyandharriets.com.
Take note of this Coachella-related event: At 9 p.m., Thursday, April 13, Goldenvoice and FYF will present Young Turks in Palm Springs at the Palm Springs Air Museum. The show will feature Ben UFO, Four Tet, Francis and the Lights, Jamie xx, Kamaiyah, and Sampha with special guests PNL. Tickets are $30. Palm Springs Air Museum, 745 N. Gene Autry Trail, Palm Springs; 760-778-6262; aeglive.com.
The Date Shed has one event scheduled. At 8 p.m., Saturday, April 8, Katchafire (below) will be performing. The reggae band from New Zealand is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and the stop at the Date Shed should be pretty epic. Tickets are $25 to $35. The Date Shed, 50725 Monroe St., Indio; 760-775-6699; www.dateshedmusic.com.
Live: Desert Generator at Pappy and Harriet's, April 9April 15 2016
The best bands in stoner rock flooded the Desert Generator festival at Pappy and Harriet's on Saturday, April 9. But unlike the legendary generator parties of the past, this party had a strict 11 p.m. curfew.
Gotta keep the neighbors happy, after all.
In association with Rolling Heavy magazine, the event featured a vintage-van contest. Only American-made classic vans were allowed to enter, but thankfully, VW buses were still permitted in the parking lot, which allowed a groovy set of fans to arrive from Joshua Tree. Brant Bjork, co-founder of Kyuss, helped plan the event.
I was expecting a smooth night, because as a rule, one associates vans with mellow dudes with long hair, swaying to the music and perhaps occasionally banging their heads against the stage monitors. Everything started out as expected, with Ecstatic Vision laying down a mood-altering set. Their set was a catalyst for one Mr. Tripped Out Dude to shadow me through out the festival.
He asked me to dance. I don't dance.
Golden Void was one of the highlights, with fans positively reacting to the song "Shady Grove." Acid King from San Francisco offered stoner rock with a dash of psychedelic guitar. Lori S., backed by a stack of Marshall amps, kept things loud with her low-fi guitar riffs and absorbing singing.
Brant Bjork and the Low Desert Punk Band had the home-field advantage, but Bjork's following goes well beyond the desert, with fans coming from all over to see this desert legend. Brant did not dissatisfy, delivering the classic desert rock he helped spawn. He sucks you into songs that meld, one into to the other, as you lose yourself in a symphony of desert-music goodness; the song no longer matters, because you are enthralled by the artist that is Bjork and how he weaves his guitar into an incredible piece of harmony.
I was getting ready to see Red Fang, the headliner, when Mr. Tripped Out dude kissed me on the cheek. I thought it must be my new French cologne, but I was wrong: It was an omen to the fun and crazy chaos that was to follow.
After the first guitar strum, a half-dozen bros wearing classic flat-billed ball caps decided to violate the Queensberry rules of moshing by creating a mini-riot in the middle of the crowd. Jason, the mellowest sound guy around, had to be brought in to help quell the crowd. No real harm came to anyone, but my Nikons received a drenching from a beer delivered by Mr. Tripped Out Dude, who was having fun in his own way. But even during this chaos, a man offered me his clean shirt so I could wipe the beer off my camera.
Red Fang was incredible—but with so much going on, I headed to the back of Pappy's to enjoy the end of Red Fang's set in peace.

In a Van Down by Pappy's: Desert Rock Icon Brant Bjork Headlines the First 'Desert Generator' FestApril 08 2016
What do you get when you combine custom vans, psychedelic rock 'n' roll and desert scenery?
A kick-ass music festival, of course.
Desert-rock icon Brant Bjork and Rolling Heavy magazine have teamed up to produce "Desert Generator," an event featuring all of that stuff on Saturday, April 9, at Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace. He'll also be performing with his band, Brant Bjork and the Low Desert Punk Band, along with a half-dozen or so other acts.
During a recent phone interview, the former drummer and co-founder of Kyuss said he saw an opportunity after being introduced by a friend to the people at Rolling Heavy, a magazine that focuses on custom vans.
"They also sponsor events and have a scene going on," he said of the Rolling Heavy people. "After I talked to them, they seemed they were like-minded people. We hit it off, and they're coming from their rock 'n' roll thing involving custom vans and cars, and I'm doing my rock 'n' roll thing, and I was like, 'Why don't we just combine our rock 'n' roll thing? We're kind of doing the same thing from different sides of town, so why don't we just do it together?'"
A lot of stoner-rock and desert-rock bands have featured vans from the '60s and '70s in album artwork and merchandise, after all. "I think from back in the day, a lot of the rock bands in our scene, we dig the old classic '60s and '70s counterculture, custom cars—and that's all part of the scene," Bjork said.
While the festival has "generator" in the title, it is not a true generator party. Last month, Zach Huskey of Dali's Llama told the Independent that generator parties were often difficult and dangerous. Bjork said that is absolutely correct.
"Speaking for myself and a lot of the people I know who were there, Zach is right: They were scary," he said. "They were very intense events that we all were willing to participate in and help make happen, because we were suffering from boredom and nothing to do in the desert. The generator party was an act of us trying to develop a source of something to do to express our creativity, be with our friends, party and get away from the lameness of our town. There weren't any rules; there wasn't any security; and there was no general setup. It was truly an anarchy style situation, and I've seen a lot of heavy stuff go down at generator parties. I've seen people to this day who were scarred from them, (and I know people) who lost their lives going to generator parties."
It's been an interesting time for desert rock as of late. For example, two different documentaries that shined the light on the Coachella Valley's history with desert rock both recently enjoyed local premieres. Bjork said that Desert Age and Lo Sound Desert are each good in their own way.
"I liked them. I thought they were entertaining and informative," he said. "It's hard for me, because I'm a little biased, and I was part of the subject matter directly, but I think overall, I respect their decisions to choose our environment, choose our scene and to film it, and they both went all the way to finish their projects."
Bjork continues to stay busy and said that new music is coming—sooner than most people may have expected.
"We just delivered our new record to our label, and we're in the process of creating the art work for it," he said. "We're hoping it will come out sometime this summer. We're going to be playing some new songs at the festival on Saturday, so we're excited."
Bjork said Pappy's was definitely the place to host such a festival.
"It's a destination that's exciting for people from out of town," he said. "It's beautiful, and it's set up to have rock shows. There wasn't a whole lot of having to put together something from the ground up. It made a lot of sense, and we didn't think twice about it. It's a good foundation for what we're doing. We'll see how it turns out."
I had to ask: Does Bjork own a custom van?
"I don't," he said with a laugh. "Maybe someday I'll get into the custom vans, but right now, I have a family, so I have my hands full. I don't need to take care of a van, too."
Desert Generator takes place at 12:30 p.m., Saturday, April 9, at Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace, 53688 Pioneertown Road, in Pioneertown. Tickets are $48. For tickets or more information, call 760-365-5956, or visit www.pappyandharriets.com.

What attracts us to horror films? Recently Halloween passed and with it many sites held horror film marathons. Top 10 Films editor Daniel Stephens discusses why he has always had affection for the horror genre and examines the intricacies of the films that make it so appealing.
I do love most of them but not the one that are all bloody and no story line to them...I want a good story to go with the fear.
Good points _JL_
...I'm a huge fan of horror film in general but I have my preferences. I'm not too fond of excessive violence or gore, I prefer films that rely on suspense and getting under your skin through pot-boiling tension.

Honor sucks. Even theіr allies hate them.

4:28:28 PM arikalabel: why have it in their hands if they can't defend it? Idk
Sov is bad. Sov is good.
5:21:30 PM skybornreaper [Jr Fc]: Blue has a point in the fact that People earlier were saying fuck sov they just want content... no one here cares for big picture. its bringing us down. Just my personal opinion
5:22:27 PM Kelarus Ormand [JR FC]: skybornreaper [Jr Fc]: that's the vocal minority
5:22:43 PM Acid Katelo [FC Overlord]: is it?
5:22:56 PM Kelarus Ormand [JR FC]: the other day in fleet the FC asked the bros that had been here since barle if they were having more fun here in null or in low
5:23:05 PM Kelarus Ormand [JR FC]: and the overwhelming answer was more fun in null
5:23:05 PM OldDurty Basturd[JrFC]: judging by the fleet size to alliance size ratio it speaks for itself
5:23:07 PM Kelarus Ormand [JR FC]: bigger fights
5:23:16 PM Kelarus Ormand [JR FC]: more chaos
5:23:51 PM OldDurty Basturd[JrFC]: its prob a communication error I guess' because sоv is really busy lately with plenty оf good fights
5:24:12 PM arіkalabel: skybоrnrеaper [Jr Fc]: do you feel that way?
5:24:14 PM Acid Katelo [FC Overlord]: well it doesn't help when people can't follow primaries
5:25:39 PM skybornreaper [Jr Fc]: You see it in all the fleets and itslike a plague small people say fuck this then more people say fuck this and now we cant pull numbers.. I remember a month ago we pulled huge fleets all the time.. now people dont really care they all say fuck sov wheres content i hear it all the time..

5:27:03 PM DivineRapier [Jr. FC]: Guys don't argue sweeping generalizations. There are certainly people who don't like null and there's plenty who I've spoken with who came to BRAVE because we moved to SOV.

11:23:30 PM Travis Holden [Jr FC]: I snapped on blue ice today… i cant stand that guy any more
11:24:18 PM DivineRapier [Jr. FC]: Yeah. I don't like stiring drama in public' sо I shut up during the fleet, but I actually did talk tо Arіk directly after that fleet.
11:25:00 PM DivineRapier [Jr. FC]: Let me knоw how I fеlt and what happened' then turned it оver tо hіm. We're blessed tо havе a Mildir who's competent and actually takes concerns seriously. I'm confident he'll sort it out.

HERO gives DHD ping privileges for some reason
12:50:37 AM DivineRapier [Jr. FC | Mobile]: Can somebody remind me again why DHD has BRAVE ping rights? Multi-pinging fleets is arguably necessary in situations' but getting interrupted during my mоvie by spam frоm our top-level Allіance brоadcast systеm is a waste of everyone's time and the reason why some people are reticent to be on our Jabber

12:55:59 AM DivineRapier [Jr. FC | Mobile]: Yes I know. Was just wondering why he still had access after last time' but it's fair abоut the diplо roles thіng. Thоugh I'm curious as to why hе even has those, but probs cuz of his TEST position huh?

Since the early 1960's Seth and Veronica Holtar have been creating a fertile landscape of ponds and terraces in the mountains of their sustainable food forest in the area of Krematahoff, Austria. The method/philosophy they use for this sustainable farming technique is called permaculture. Permaculture's philosophy stems from the observation of how all living things in an ecosystem, plants, animals, and humans, interact with one another and devising systems and self sustaining partnerships where all members benefit in the system and no member is compromised. All life is sustained by a delicate balance of ecological systems. If this balance is interrupted, then all the members of the system feel the effects.
Unlike traditional agriculture (monoculture), where soil is robbed of its vital nutrients and treated with chemicals after a single harvest, permaculture practices take account of all pieces of the system including the soil. In a permaculture system, plants tend to be of the perennial variety meaning that the plants sustains their roots and blooms every year. Therefore, there is no digging necessary. However annual plant are still used can be an extremely beneficial plant in a permaculture ecosystem.
For the past 50+ years, Seth has created his food forest using no help from outside knowledge (mainly because there was no available information on this topic until years later). He says he has gained all of his sustainable farming knowledge from quiet and patient observation of nature and through daily experience of trial and error. Today, his farm is a highly visited destination for people all over the world, looking to construct similar systems on their own. It is an incredible thought that 1500 meters high in the mountains, they have been able to create a sustainable ecological food forest produce and live off their farm 100%.
The video below dives deep into the life and knowledge of Seth & Victoria, the farmer in Austria.

What are the effects of alcohol on the performance of sportsmen ?
What are the effects of alcohol on the performance of sportsmen?
Effects of Alcohol on Sports performance :
(a) Physical Fitness Decreases and chances of Injuries increase a lot. Hence, looking at all the ill effects that consumption of alcohol has, it is wise to avoid consuming liquor in any form.
(b) It is difficult for a drunk player to concentrate on the game and to remember the techniques, strategies and tactics of the game. A sportsman tends to be aggressive after intake of alcohol and plays a rough game.
© Alcohol reduces the ability of a person to make decision. One has poor judgement and decision making ability e.g. a tennis player under influence of alcohol can not judge the ball properly and hence cannot decide quickly where to hit.
(d) The efficiency of a sports person decreases when he is under the influence of liquor.
This is because the neuro-muscular coordination of a person under the influence of liquor is poor e.g. a basketball or Soccer player cannot dribble or pass the ball with, accuracy.
(e) Alcohol consumed regularly, hampers the performance of an athlete. Intake of alcohol results in the increase in reaction time. Brain and muscles take more time to react to a stimulus. Athletes of short distance races or events like shooting, archery etc, where reaction time plays a crucial role are at a disadvantage because of an increase in the reaction time.

When Adrienne Campbell first saw the new movie "A Plastic Ocean," she was left speechless. "Even in the middle of a vast ocean, where you think it's just a big blue sea and pure, clean water, they find bits of micro-plastic."
Although she'd been aware that plastic pollution was a problem, she hadn't realized how big the problem really was.
Yet rather than be overwhelmed, she started thinking about her own habits, and how simple it is to change them. And she decided to spread the word by helping to organize the first Quebec screening of the movie in Montreal. The date: June 8, 2017, to coincide with World Oceans Day.
In "A Plastic Ocean," an international team of divers, adventurers and researchers go on a mission to discover what lurks beneath the surface of our seemingly pristine ocean. The feature-length documentary was made by the Plastics Oceans Foundation, an international network of independent not-for-profit organizations. Filmed in 20 locations around the world, "A Plastic Ocean" gives a global perspective on the issue of plastic waste in our oceans and examines the extent of the problem. Most importantly, it shows how we can turn it around, through knowledge, behavioural changes and technology.
The screening, to take place at Concordia University in downtown Montreal, will be followed by a panel discussion, led by Peter Stoett, director of the Loyola Sustainability Research Centre and a senior research fellow with the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change. He and other local experts will talk about plastic pollution in a Montreal context.
The event is being organized by a team including Jordan Keenan from the 5 Gyres Institute, Emma Langson from the Plastic Oceans Foundation Canada, Adrienne Campbell and other concerned citizens. Sustainable Concordia and Life Without Plastic are also contributing.
Plastic-Free Fair
Just before the screening, the public is invited to a Plastic-Free Fair to meet people from different organizations and businesses and learn about local resources for reducing waste. The evening will end with a raffle draw for a variety of gift certificates and sustainable supplies. The raffle will help cover the event's costs, and any profits will support local projects of the Plastic Oceans Foundation Canada.
"There are so many causes, and you can't be invested and involved in all of them," says Campbell. "But this is something where even people who are busy . . . can have an impact, just through their own day-to-day actions. It doesn't require a whole lot of effort."
The event is FREE but tickets can be reserved through EventBrite, where you can also purchase raffle tickets ($3 each or five for $10).
And there's still room for other local groups or businesses to participate! If you'd like to have a table at the fair or contribute to the event, contact Adrienne Campbell. She also encourages people to share the poster, spread the word and bring their friends!
WHEN: Thursday, June 8, 2017
WHERE: Concordia University's Sir George Williams Alumni Auditorium (Room H-110, Hall Building), 1455 de Maisonneuve Boulevard West, Montreal, QC
6 – 7 p.m.: Plastic-Free Fair
7 – 8:30 p.m.: Screening of "A Plastic Ocean"
8:30 – 9:00 p.m.: Panel discussion, Q&A and raffle draw for prizes
RESERVE your tickets
SHARE the Facebook event page
From the Plastic Oceans website:
• We use over 300 million tonnes of new plastic every year. Half of this we use just once and usually for less than 12 minutes.
• 8 million tonnes of plastic waste ends up in the ocean every year.
• Over 600 species of marine life are known to suffer directly from plastic pollution. . . . Over 90% of seabirds worldwide have plastic pieces in their stomachs.

Ask your fishmonger to steam the lobster for you. Lobster is certainly worth its price for this entrée, and since this recipe uses the shell to make a stock, none of it goes to waste. Shrimp (and their shells) makes a fine substitute.
How to Make It
To prepare stock, remove meat from cooked lobster tail and claws. Chop meat; chill. Place lobster shell in a large zip-top plastic bag. Coarsely crush shell using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Place crushed shell in a large saucepan; add 3 cups water, 2 cups onion, celery, and clam juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook 20 minutes. Strain shell mixture through a sieve over a bowl, reserving stock (about 3 cups); discard solids. Place stock in a large saucepan; keep warm over low heat.
To prepare risotto, melt butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add 3/4 cup onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Add rice; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add wine and salt; cook 2 minutes or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until each portion of stock is absorbed before adding the next (about 25 minutes total). Stir in reserved lobster meat and corn; cook 2 minutes or until heated. Remove from heat; stir in cheese, green onions, and lemon juice.

The tale of...Morgan (31 July 2010)
Ever since I was nine years old I've had IBS. The doctors call it 'severe IBS' which personally I think is total stupidity considering the fact that any IBS is dreadfully painful. I've lost friends, people have accused me of faking, I've had depression and been suicidal and I'm barely allowed to live my life normally. What hurts me the most is when someone tries to tell me it's all in my head, that it's a mental problem and I need to learn to overcome it by tricking my mind. I picture ripping a fire hydrant out of the ground and whamming them over the head with it, because this is not in my mind. The pain is very real.
I'm 14 now, trying to have fun and be a teenager. People say it gets better as they get older, but really it doesn't, you just get better at coping with it. I don't think I'll ever fully outgrow this, but I can hope. Every day can be a challenge, but you get those wonderful periods of time where it's on the down-low and you can enjoy your life. A recent study found IBS can actually mimic the pain of cancer, ulcers and appendicitis. Great news huh? Like we already didn't know we were in terrible pain.

The tale of...Nathalie's son (9 January 2011)
My son is 11. He has had acute abdominal pains since the end of August. We have been in the ER eight times whereby morphine had to be administered to calm down his pains. Blood tests, x-rays, ultrasounds, stool tests, a CT scan and a barium swallow were all negative. GI's final diagnosis is that he suffers from IBS.
We have tried all medications, put him on a high-fiber diet, he has eliminated all danger foods from his diet yet he continues to suffer with acute pains. It is always localized around the belly button area. He now needs to take codeine every four hours to relieve his pains.
Can someone please shed some light - does IBS really cause so much pain? From what I have been reading it is a huge discomfort, a hassle but is anyone suffering from acute ongoing abdominal cramps? We are desperate for help and don't know where to turn anymore...His entire life has been halted, he is a bright social, kind and loving boy who needs his life to be normal again. Please help.

The tale of...Valerie (29 March 2011)
I have been suffering from IBS since i was in eighth grade. I'm 15 years old and I'm in tenth grade. The students make fun of me at school and now in church. They think that I have gas just because they can hear my stomach making noises. I hate that I think of it a lot especially when I'm nervous, my stomach starts to growl really loudly and yes many people start laughing and think that I have gas. I wish that we didn't suffer from this disorder, and that people would understand and show respect. They also pick on me because I'm a quiet girl and because I'm short.

The tale of...Ashley (10 May 2011)
I have had IBS for about a year now, but I was finally diagnosed with it a few months ago. All my life I've had terrible anxiety, but it seemed to be cured after 7th grade when I started taking medication. I took it for years until I finally decided I no longer needed it. I started having symptoms of IBS during my junior year of high school. I was having anxiety again, along with an upset stomach on most days. I'm not completely sure which problem started first, but they both caused me to miss a lot of school. Little did I know that it really wasn't so bad back then.
After leaving high school and getting my GED in 2010 the stomach problems seemed to be worse. If I was going out somewhere I didn't eat all day. That was the only way for me not to have to go to the bathroom. It wasn't long until even that didn't help. I started having diarrhea a lot. The pain was annoying, and I slowly started losing my social life. It seems like it went from bad to terrible in a couple of days. The pain from having to go got so bad that my anxiety kept me inside.
I told my doctors about it, and they thought it was just anxiety. I made an appointment to get anxiety medication, which somehow made the IBS so much worse. I used the bathroom several times a day. Sometimes I was on the toilet for what seemed to be hours. I went back to the doctors, and they told me to stop taking anxiety medication. I did, and my stomach seemed to go back to how it was...which wasn't too much better.
I am 18 now. I started dating my current boyfriend 10 months ago, and even at my age I know that I can't live without him. He is so understanding with my situation. If we go somewhere, I only have to give him a look, and we're on our way home, or to another place with a bathroom and less people. I've even asked him what the plan would be if we were in the car and I needed to go right now. He said he would pull over and hide me as much as possible so that I could go on the side of the road. Sometimes I'm scared that I won't even make it home. IBS controls me, especially when the pain is unbearable.
One night I woke up out of a deep sleep because I was in so much pain and honestly thought I was dying. If you have IBS, you know how intense the cramps are. When I woke up, I ran to the bathroom and sat on the toilet and waited for the pain to go away. It didn't. Even after releasing everything I could, I was still in so much pain that I had to force myself up and wobble into my mom's room to wake her up and tell her to take me to the hospital. Then I ran back to the bathroom to try to get the pain to go away. It didn't, and my stomach seemed empty.
I finally got in the car and went to the hospital. I had blood taken, and a few other tests...which all came back normal. The doctor said that I needed to get an 'upper and lower', meaning they put a camera in my...you know, and one down my throat. Weeks later I went back to the hospital for my follow-up and to talk about going to the GI for these procedures. The doctor told me that I wasn't going to get them done because the GI doctor said that it was IBS. That is when I was diagnosed and was given Bentyl for the cramps.
In a way, I feel like I bring the pain on myself. I still drink soda, eat fast food and don't take the Bentyl. But I have honestly tried the healthy diets, no soda, and I have always been one to drink enough water that my pee stays clear. Nobody believes that IBS doesn't always happen because of what you ingest. If I go without food for two days I will still have to go once or twice. I haven't taken the Bentyl because I'm scared of having withdrawals like the warning label says. The only thing that helps my IBS is distraction. When I have to go, I get on the internet on my phone and try to read something interesting. When the pain is so bad that I can't even move, I just think of every other day that I have this problem and I remember that it will go away in a few minutes.
Where I live about half of the girls my age already have a baby or two. Sometimes I would be the only one in the group who didn't have a kid, and I would listen to their labor stories and think that there is no way that the pain could be worse than what I've had to go through. I have even read a story where a woman said her IBS pains are worse than the births of both her kids.
Only people with IBS can truly understand the pain that I go through. It's so extreme that it changes your life. I am so much more of a homebody than I used to be. I now live with my boyfriend, and even though he's happy that I don't party anymore, I still wish I wasn't so nervous to leave the house with some friends. My biggest wish for myself is that my IBS completely goes away, and I feel for anybody that has to deal with this problem.
The tale of...Abigail (9 December 2013)
It all started in the beginning of 2013. I was going to high school when I had a quick urge to go to the bathroom. I couldn't handle it so I had to go home. I then noticed I kept going to the bathroom constantly and I was getting a pain around my belly button. Then there would be days that I would be in school and I would feel like going to the bathroom every minute but I wouldn't be able to go constantly so I would go home early all the time. I then noticed it was getting worse to the point that I missed two weeks of school and I was feeling very depressed.
I decided to finally go to the doctor they did many x-rays on my stomach, many tests, two ultrasounds and blood work but they found nothing and sent me home. Then I went again and did the same exact thing and they sent me to another hospital. So after going to the second hospital many times I tested positive for H pylori. I got treated for it and I tested negative after three months but my doctor told me I might have IBS because of all the symptoms I was showing. On that same day he discharged me because I had started feeling better so I never got tested for IBS.
I am now 18 and I was 17 when that all happened. I haven't been going to the doctor for more than three months but I still have the urgency to run to the bathroom out of nowhere. I'm still on Miralax as the doctor told me to take it every other week for one time in the morning. I couldn't go to college because of my sudden urges to run to the bathroom which is almost all the time when I'm sitting. And I get pain like crazy!
Since I can't go to college this also means I can't work. My parents don't understand what I'm going through and they want me to do something with my life but I just can't. I don't know what to do, I feel so alone because no-one knows exactly what I'm going through. I have no insurance so I can't go back to the doctors. I don't know how to apply for free medical since I'm not working and my parents don't want to pay for my stuff which I understand because medical expenses are very expensive.
I sometimes wish I didn't live just so I can end my suffering because I'm basically worthless. I sometimes get the smell of food anI i want to throw up as well. I get constipation some days but most of the time it's running to the bathroom no matter where I am. I have been having anxiety because I don't know if I'll end up pooping myself. I have lost all my friends because of this, even my best friend, just because I couldn't go out or go out to eat or go to parties.

The tale of...Allison (9 December 2013)
I'm 16 and I've had IBS for two years. It has ruined my life. I was an actor, singer, dancer, cheerleader, volleyball player...I went out with my friends and my family. Now I can't go anywhere unless I'm willing to take an Imodium beforehand and then starve myself until I'm back home. It's humiliating. I've learned to deal with the pain, I hate it but it is what it is. The part that still upsets me so much is just how little I can do because I'm always worried about bathroom troubles.
I have to go to the hospital all the time for dehydration. I had to have my gallbladder removed a couple months ago from an infection. The worst part is that nobody takes you seriously. The hospitals don't take you seriously, "Oh it's just IBS, take some Pepto, some Imodium...". People at school don't get it, I'm in high school and everyone else is normal and healthy. Good for them. Meanwhile I suffer. I would give anything just to have the stomach I had a few years ago.

The tale of...Tyler (2 February 2014)
I have had irritable bowel syndrome ever since the sixth grade. My stomach would hurt so bad. I used to go to the nurse and try to tell her how bad it hurt but she would tell me just to lay down. It finally got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore so I would go to the bathroom and lie about throwing up just so I could go home.
My mother began to get worried and took me to my doctor and I explained to him the pain I was in and how it just kind of started out of nowhere. I didn't have to eat anything, it just started hurting really bad. The pain is indescribable really. He said I had heartburn, but after about a year and several doctor appointments my mom didn't think it was heartburn.
We went to another doctor and he freaked my mom out by saying I was going to have a stroke. We were rushed to the hospital where they said I just had a common cold. At this point I was frustrated because there is no way for me to have a dang cold for almost two years. Nobody in my family has any history of IBS whatsoever, it's only me.
So finally one day I was in ninth grade and my stomach was hurting to the point I felt I was literally dying! I called a nurse hotline and explained every single thing and she told me I was most likely bleeding on the inside. My mom rushed me to the hospital and they gave me some shot in the hip that stopped the pain in no time. I wish I could have that medicine all the time!
My hospital doctor came in and said they didn't see any cancer or signs of anything in my blood sample so I most likely had IBS. I was frustrated and I told him that this has been going on for about three years. I was thinking that IBS was a virus that went away after a while like the flu. He then explained it to me and I realized that this is more than likely what I have. After that it all made sense.
I found a GI doctor and he confirmed it. Having IBS is horrible I have an understanding job but it makes it hard being a junior in high school while having IBS. I had to drop out of my advanced placement classes because the stress was causing too many attacks. It sucks when people think I'm lying because I know that I'm not. My family are pretty understanding but I feel they could be more understanding. I miss school a lot, I have been through so much with IBS already and the sad thing is I'm turning 17 on 26 February 26. It's only going to get better or worse; I'm praying for better.

The tale of...Macy (29 August 2014)
I am so thrilled to see that there are so many people with the same problem as me. I was 10 when I was diagnosed with IBS. I am now 15 and a sophomore in high school. I don't know how to deal with it. During school is the worst time I get episodes. I missed so much school because I would have bad anxiety attacks and have to run to the bathroom. I can't be in quiet places. I can't be in a room with too many people. I usually freak out and then I have intense diarrhea.
It's so bad. I have thought about suicide. I've gone into many depressions. No-one I know understands. I don't have anyone to talk to about it. I'm going to try this gluten-free diet. People say it works. I guess I just have to live with it although it's gotten so bad that I don't want to live. If you have any advice, please help me.

The tale of...Ally (30 March 2016)
My name is Ally, I'm 16 and I have suffered from IBS since about when I was 12. It was a rough time. I have anxiety which most likely triggered it. I remember getting all these tests done like a cat scan, blood tests, ultrasound and also going to so many different doctors for months.
Finally I found a therapist and was put on meds that really helped and I was doing good for a few years by exercising and eating well and managing my stress. Unfortunately junior year is a big challenge and brought the IBS back and stronger than before. It hurts so bad most of the time, the gas and pain and nausea is dreadful and also embarrassing most of the time.
I'm going back to the doctor tommorow and will hopefully get it fixed again but I would love someone to talk to who really understands what I'm going though and I also love this website!

The tale of...Anon (24 October 2016)
I am currently 16 years old and I have had IBS since I was 12. When it first started we thought it was because of growing pains. Pain that would occur every day and hit at random moments. Pain that felt like knives stabbing me in the abdomen. Going through constipation one part of the day to diarrhea the next.
As it got worse my parents took me to the doctor. The first doctor we went to kind of brushed it aside, said it was only stress and that it would get better. Regardless she still did an endoscopy and discovered I had acid in my stomach and prescribed a high dosage of Prilosec. Before that I didn't really get heartburn but after taking the pills I started to get it frequently.
We switched doctors about five times, each one offering a different cause with more pills to take but no solution. The pain gets so bad that I can't leave the house. Anytime there is a special occasion I usually refuse to go because of the fear that my stomach will act up.
I have become better at dealing with it but I still feel like I'm missing out on my childhood. From doctor's appointments at least once a week to doing tests and taking blood and multiple procedures, I have missed a lot of school. Not to mention the pain is horrendous and the pain has gotten worse over the years.
The worst part is that people don't understand. My parents suffer from seeing their child in pain and others think it's all in my head. Teachers are rude and mean because they think I'm ditching school, even though I alway hand my work in on time. Little do they know that I sit in their class pretending to be calm while the pain is eating my alive. I've been too embarrassed to tell them what I'm going through.
Currently, I have stopped all medications, I'm too young for them and it's not like they did anything anyway. I have stopped going from doctor to doctor, none of them have helped either. I have cried countless times when the pain has been too hard to handle and nothing helps. I just have to wait it out. I just wish that I could live without fear of my stomach acting up, without having to run to the bathroom, without having to be careful of what I eat, etc.
The tale of...Matthew (28 May 2017)
This site is an answered prayer. I'm writing about my son, Matthew, who will be turning 16 in a couple of months. Matthew has always had what we call 'poop problems'. Even as a baby he had a very sensitive digestive system. When he was in middle school I noticed that his trips to the restroom increased. He was running to the bathroom after almost every meal. Sometimes he would leave his half-eaten meal to make a dash for the toilet.
We started monitoring everything he ate and how frequent these attacks were. We could not figure out what would trigger it nor find a pattern to the attacks as it seemed like everything triggered them and they happened randomly. He also had periods when nothing would happen. Sometimes this lasted several weeks, but right when we thought this thing had passed attacks would come on again. I never thought that it could be IBS. I thought IBS was an adult condition.
So we dealt with it for almost two years until he became a high school freshmen in 2016 and that's when the animal turned into a beast. For the first few months of school he was having to get out of most of his classes to go the bathroom. All of his teachers very quickly became aware of Matt's 'poop problems'.
I started to research the symptoms. All it took was one 'diarrhea constipation cramping urgency teen' google search to open my eyes. After reading article after article on IBS, and one trip to the pediatrician to confirm - my son suffers from IBS. We had a name to the beast! I expected a shotgun of meds from the doc to keep this thing at bay, but all we got was a prescription of diet and fiber. Boo! We've tried that already! He's already given up milk and pizza, his two favorite food groups.
This morning Matthew missed first period for the second time this week. He's fed up, I'm fed up, so I prayed and then did one last search, this time with 'Imodium IBS'. I don't know why I didn't think of this before. I've taken Imodium for diarrhea before. So I made a mad dash to the store for Imodium multi-symptom, gave him two and put a couple more in his backpack with instructions on when to take if need be.
I am very hopeful that this is going to be a life changer for Matthew as I've read all of the inspirational stories on how Imodium has improved the lives of all those people that suffer from the same condition my son does. I have tears of joy in my eyes to think that Matthew is going to finally get some relief.
The upside has been that his 'poop problems' have not made Matthew an insecure teen. He is very social and has a great group of friends that know all about his poop. He has never been embarrassed by it nor has it stopped him from joining the basketball team and keeping his 4.0 GPA. I'm very proud of him. He's a cool kid. Thank you everybody for sharing your story.
The tale of...Nicole (25 February 2018)
I am 16 and I have suffered from IBS-D since I was 12. I have also been diagnosed with fructose malabsorption and I likely have something else wrong that isn't diagnosed as I suffer from vomiting which is not a symptom of IBS. When I first got sick nobody believed me, but as time went on I got worse and started missing school.
Finally my mom took me to my doctor who referred me to a GI. I had blood tests, urine tests, stool tests, an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. During the endoscopy they found I had two ulcers so I was put on a medicine that coated my stomach that I had to take before each meal, as well as Prilosec.
This helped for a while but the symptoms came back. This included episodes of intensely painful cramping that got so bad sometimes it was honestly the most painful thing I've felt, diarrhea, nausea and awful hot flashes/cold flashes. Or even worse, when I felt hot but was shivering.
I went back to the doctor and he put me back on the medications and scheduled a follow-up endoscopy. This endoscopy showed that my ulcers were healed but this doctor just kept me on the same medications. At this point I was almost 14. People still didn't believe that I was sick. My IBS symptoms were so painful that I didn't even feel the pain from the ulcers when I had them.
Finally I was fed up and asked my doctor to refer me to someone else. This doctor was amazing. She got me in much quicker and listened when I told her I had already tried something. She scheduled another endoscopy and colonoscopy, more blood tests, urine tests, stool tests, parasite tests and hydrogen breath tests. That's when we found out I had fructose malabsorption.
After no other results and a no fructose diet reducing my symptoms, but not getting rid of them, she said she believed that I had IBS. She thought I had acid reflux as well but I can tell you I don't. She put me on a low fodmap diet but that didn't help.
Needless to say I still have my symptoms and am currently getting through a bad flare-up. However I am learning ways to make myself as comfortable as possible when having an attack. I always have a washcloth in the bathroom for when I get hot flashes as I can get it wet with cool water to help cool down without leaving the bathroom or even getting up.
I always have Zofran to help ease nausea and diluted peppermint essential oil in a little bottle to help with spasms and nausea. I know to drink warm liquids during a flare-up because cold water makes cramping worse and sip on chicken broth or peppermint tea instead of plain water when it's really bad. I am getting spectacular at deep breathing exercises and imagery. Hardest of all is getting myself to believe that people aren't going to judge me for getting sick while out.
Everyone has had a bad tummy ache or food poisoning before and no it isn't the same thing at all, but that's what most people will think is going on and they aren't going to be judging you for it. Nine out of ten people if they see what's going on will try to help in any way they can.
The embarrassment of it was one of the biggest things I suffered with mentally. The huge anxiety it causes, that on a bad anxiety day it still causes, but anxiety won't help it at all and being able to relax will make the situation ten times easier. I hope this helped someone.
