If 5G is so Safe then Why are Lloyds Insurers Refusing To Cover 5G Wi-Fi Illnesses?
From the Public Intelligence Blog
Lloyds of London, one of the world's premier insurance groups, is refusing to insure health claims made against 5G wireless ("wi-fi") technologies.
How curious that Lloyds of London has excluded from their policies any negative health effects caused by wi-fi technologies. Now, WHY would Lloyds leave all that money on the table if these technologies are so safe? And, why are other insurance companies following Lloyds' lead?
If you think that following-the-money provides insights, you'll probably conclude that something VERY BIG is embedded in this decision.
Here's some background (including links):
The FCC and other government regulatory bodies, in collusion with the big telecomm industries, are ferociously pushing smart meters, 5G and the Internet of Things.
This roll-out is not only happening in the US, but all over the world. The giant telecomms gush enthusiastically about how EVERYTHING will be connected
OMG!! We're gonna have Incredibly high-speed connectivity so your little girls and teens can, at supersonic speed, upload pix of their latest nail-polish jobs or cute puppy videos to FaceBook, Pinterest, etc., etc., for their friends to gasp and giggle…..and, of course, click "like" and forward these to their friends…. again, all at warp speed.
It's pretty clear that this whole "play" by the giant telecomms is seen by them as a financial windfall – for them. And, via their lobby groups, it's seen as a windfall for all the politicians who support this agenda. Politicians will be rewarded in the usual manner – pricey junkets to exotic places, elegant dinners, campaign contributions and, of course, cushy "golden parachute" jobs for those wi-fi supportive ex-politicians within the telecomm industries, or within their lobby groups. In short, crony business as usual.
BUT WAIT!! ….There's a tiny but growing wrinkle in this rosy scenario of sugar plums dancing in the heads of these telecomm leaders. Specifically, Lloyds of London, one of the world's premier insurance groups, is refusing to insure health claims made against wireless technologies. And, other insurance companies are following Lloyd's lead in this.
If you follow the money, this is HUGE. After all, if these wi-fi techno-toys are so safe, why is Lloyds leaving all this additional money on the table?
Well, Lloyd's November 2010 Risk Assessment Team's Report gives us a solid clue: the report compares these wireless technologies with asbestos, in that the early research on asbestos was "inconclusive" and only later did it become obvious to anyone paying attention that asbestos causes cancer.
Keep in mind that Lloyd's Risk Assessment study of wi-fi was published over 8 years ago. Even back then, however, their Risk Assessment Team was smart enough to realize that new evidence just might emerge showing that the various wi-fi frequencies do cause illness. The result? Lloyds opted to exclude coverage for wi-fi related illnesses.
And then, PG&E followed close on, slipping in its own legal clauses (just as it was rolling out smart meters) that claim no liability for wi-fi related health damage. The schools who opt to put in wi-fi are responsible, according to PG&E, and any other organizations that opt to have PG&E put wi-fi in their buildings are the responsible parties
Today, MANY more recent peer-reviewed scientific studies show a range of serious damage caused by these wi-fi frequencies. 5G brings a quantum leap in damage – to DNA, to cell mitochondria, and much more.

Tracking you via your vehicle rego – 5G, (not) smart cities & total surveillance
Here is a look into the 'wonders' of 5G (yes you'll be able to download stuff in mere seconds, the selling point for the less aware) … and how you are already being watched, set to ramp up in the evolving-in-plain-sight (not) smart cities. Facial recognition, car registration, social media, all keeping tabs on you. I visited Tauranga (NZ) last year, avoiding the new toll roads, as the freeways get bigger & busier, I was concerned (being your typical 'country bumpkin') about how to pay on them. My friend later informed me I wouldn't need to. The cameras capture your rego & you're billed in the mail. And sure, we all knew this capability with the speed cameras we've had operating for eons, but this brings the reality of it all to life. The seeming benign beginnings that morph into something none of us truly envisaged at the start. We've all been captured by stealth. In the name of security and safety. Ironic since 'they' have proven to have zero concern about our safety. I've been compiling a bit of info lately on the smart street lighting that will be hooked up apparently to 5G. The advanced versions we're seeing in the dumb (not smart) city models feature cameras. A reader tells me there are camera versions in Palmy North apparently. So in 12 months (according to the time frame I've been hearing about) we will have 5G frying us all, as we rejoice over fast internet download? I'm also told there is already 5G (unofficially) in Wanaka & Invercargill. And yet, world wide, health professionals are expressing their deep concern over this tech that is harmful to humans (to everything) with no data offered us on research into safety. The awake people have already joined the dots on that one. They are rolling it out regardless anyway, no surprizes given they continually deny the damage done to us by the already present cell phone masts with their cancer clusters under them.
Have a listen to the video & I will post eventually on the associated street lamps that are appearing everywhere. They've just changed all the bulbs in my district (elsewhere also readers tell me) … they are way brighter. Other places (eg the UK) have recorded illnesses following. A reader has told me of illnesses following installation of theirs in Whanganui. Finally, remember also that the smart cities (everything smart) are related to so called 'sustainable development' (seen anything sustainable happening lately aside from developers' bank balances? I certainly haven't) which is pretty much Agenda 21/30. Check out also Agenda 21/30 in NZ.Google Agenda 21 these days & you'll get the 'sustainable' mantra.

The town facing a 'humanitarian crisis caused by the radiation from state-of-the-art street lamps': Residents have endured insomnia, nose bleeds and even stillbirths, one local claims
Note, I and some of our readers have been watching these lamps here in NZ. They came & changed all the bulbs very recently in the Horowhenua, and I heard Whanganui as well. Have heard reports of kids being ill following that in Whanganui at least. I have heard also that some of them have cameras. These are lamps featured in the smart city (agenda 21) models & will link to the incoming 5G. Supposed to assist with traffic flow, parking etc among other things. That's the ostensible rationale for their existence. Locally, feedback suggests it is control of dimming & brightening the lights. They are certainly now way brighter. Watch out for them in your neighbourhood.
From dailymail.co.uk
Mark Steele is aware of three women who lost babies since lights were installed
One local resident gave birth to a deformed child that survived just three hours
Research suggests light transmitters prevent healthy cell and gene expression
Such radiation has been linked to cancer, insomnia and mental-health disorders
Past research found Wi-Fi radiation increases the risk of miscarriages by 50%
Gateshead council firmly denies ever having used 5G technology in lighting
Radiation given off by state-of-the-art street lamps is wreaking havoc on the residents of Gateshead, according to local Mark Steele.
He said people living in the area are experiencing symptoms of insomnia, nose bleeds and several women have even endured the horror of stillbirths since the introduction of LED lamps that he believes emit 5G radiation.
In his circle alone, Mr Steele, 58, is aware of three women have lost their children since the lights were installed in September 2016, with one giving birth to a deformed child that survived just three hours.
Mr Steele, who was part of the IEEE, which claims to be 'the world's largest technical professional organisation dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity', said: 'We are seeing babies dying in the womb as these transmitters are situated outside people's bedroom windows. It's a humanitarian crisis.'
Earlier this week Gateshead council put out a Facebook post encouraging people to ignore 'conspiracy theories' about the dangers of 5G radiation, adding 'there is no scientific basis or credible evidence for any of these scare stories'.
In a Facebook post yesterday, Gateshead Council dismissed concerns over the borough's street lights as 'entirely false conspiracy theories' with 'no scientific basis or credible evidence'
According to Professor Ulrich Warnke, from the University of Saarland, EMF radiation, which is given out by light transmitters, causes disruption to the body's nitrogen monoxide system, which keeps cells healthy and controls gene expression.
The European Academy for Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM) – EMF working group notes such radiation has been linked to cancer, insomnia and mental-health disorders.
UK telecoms regulator Ofcom reportedly plans to launch 5G services, such as lamps and cell towers, throughout Britain by 2020. There are rumours Gateshead is taking part in a 'secret Government trial' by rolling out the technology in the borough before then.
'Such miscarriages didn't occur before the lamps appeared'
Mr Steele said: 'We've got people bleeding from the nose in my locality.
'We've got people who can't sleep from neurological disorders.
'What about the poor women across Gatehead who are losing babies at nearly full term?
'What about the children who will develop cancer from this 5G roll out?'
'Microwave radiation increases miscarriages. These didn't occur before the lamps appeared.'
Mr Steele claims EMF's damaging effects are evident in the loss of wildlife from his local area.
While driving around Gateshead, which Mr Steele claims has more than 37,000 EMF-emitting lamps, he said: '[There are] no small birds in [the] surrounding trees.
'The sparrows have been annihilated; they've wiped out the flying insects.'
Gateshead Council denies 'completely false' claims
In a Facebook post, which has been shared more than 1,200 times, Gateshead Council announced yesterday: 'Street lights will not induce miscarriages in pregnant women, or cause insomnia, or nosebleeds, and they are not killing all the birds and insects.'
The post adds the borough is not taking part in 'secret Government trials' before 5G is rolled out nationwide.
It adds the council has been advised by Public Health England, which reviewed guidance issued by bodies including the World Health Organization, and confirmed the technology carries no health risks.
The post urges people share the statement with those 'badly frightened' by the claims and ends with 'the more people who understand that they are completely false, the better'.
Despite Gateshead council's claim that they are not using 5G, Mr Steele said: 'The transmitter operates at 868 – 870 MHz. That is a specific 5G spectrum.
'The increase in transmitters even if they did operate at 2G – 3G, as the council have stated, would make them 5G'.
Does science support EMF's risks?
Previous studies have linked such radiation to 'internal stress', which may lead to genetic damage that can cause expectant mothers to miscarry.
Those exposed to the highest levels of EMF radiation are 48 per cent more likely to lose their baby than women exposed to the lowest amounts, according to a 2017 study by the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends MF radiation, to which everyone is exposed to to some extent, be studied for its effect on pregnancies.
The WHO classifies EMF as a 'possible human carcinogen' but does not consider electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) a condition. EHS is a claimed sensitivity to EMF, leading to headache, fatigue and stress.
Commenting on the matter, The Parliamentary Assembly from the Council of Europe, said: 'Waiting for high levels of scientific and clinical proof before taking action to prevent well-known risks can lead to very high health and economic costs, as was the case with asbestos, leaded petrol and tobacco.'
What is being done about it?
Researchers from a network known as EMF Scientists, which includes doctors from the University of Columbia, are appealing to the UN to encourage the WHO to develop stricter EMF guidelines, while also educating the public on the risks.
In January 2015, the French parliament adopted a comprehensive law that protects the general public from excessive exposure to electromagnetic waves.
Among other things, the legislation has banned Wi-Fi in nurseries for children under three years old. It also requires primary schools teaching children under 11 to only turn Wi-Fi on when it is being used for specific lessons.
As of February 2016, 220 scientists from 42 countries have signed an international Appeal, directed to the UN and WHO, calling for protection from EMF exposure.
According to EUROPAEM, the only treatment for EMF-related illnesses is to eliminate or reduce the radiation source.

Before Festival Of The Arts, Grand Rapids Hosted "The Carnival of Fun" In The 1890s
Fish Published: April 30, 2021

Long before Art Prize or Festival of the Arts, Grand Rapids hosted a 4 day long festival in 1897 and 1898 called the "Carnival of Fun".
The festival was modeled after the "Carnival of Rome" and included parades, music, Midway acts, games, food, and drink. It drew huge crowds and brought money into the city from the carnival goers, but it only lasted a couple of years.
So why did it only last a couple of years? That's because Grand Rapidians in the 1800s didn't know how to hold their alcohol. According to the Grand Valley State University archives, "were 61 arrests for drunkenness, compared to 8 from the preceding week and 10 for the following week." But, even after the 1897 Carnival of Fun's drunken arrests, the city still hosted a second event in 1898.
The 1898 Carnival of Fun was twice as large and hosted three parades, free shows on four stages, fireworks, Midway games, food stands, and more. After the 1898 Carnival, people protested the "drunken immorality" and eventually won over the public and the Carnival of Fun never returned.
You can check out a few of the artifacts from the Carnival of Fun below, courtesy of the Grand Rapids Public Museum's collection.

One early morning, Enya awoke and got ready for her job. She walked across the street and went to the bank. She was a banker. She worked very hard and was always fair. She wouldn't take bribes. She was very strong and intelligent.
On the other side of town, Yolane was a servant in a rich family's house. That same morning,her employer got very mad and fired her.She walked past the bank and thought, 'If I go in, steal the customers' money, and rob this bank, I will be very rich." So, she went into the bank.
At 11:00am Enya was helping a customer. Yolane robbed everyone she laid eyes on. She was very small, so it was not easy to see her. She was also very sneaky. As she was robbing the bank, Enya saw her. She ran over to catch Yolane, but Yolane ran quickly out the door. Enya followed. She was in hot pursuit, but then she tripped over a rock. Yolane took this chance to run as far as she could, as fast as she could. Enya slowly got up and walked back to the bank.
When she woke up the next day, she saw it was already 9am. She was late so she rushed to get ready. She went straight to the bank. She worked until night and still felt very dizzy from the fall. After washing her face, she felt a little more energy.

Tsernoglou Joins Benson to Announce Election-Related Priorities
State Rep. Penelope Tsernoglou announces election-related legislative priorities at a press conference at the state Capitol on Jan. 17, 2022.
LANSING, Mich., Jan 17, 2023 — State Rep. Penelope Tsernoglou (D-East Lansing) joined Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson earlier today to announce election-related legislative priorities for the 2023-24 session.
"Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and I look forward to working in a collaborative manner to ensure that Michigan will serve as a model of the best-run elections in the nation," Tsernolgou said. "As chair of the Elections Committee, I'm committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and Secretary Benson to ensure every Michigander is empowered to share their voice at the ballot box; our election workers can do their jobs without fear of threat, harassment or intimidation; and our clerks have the resources they need to run secure, fair, efficient and transparent elections."
Tsernoglou will serve as a member of Secretary Benson's election policy working group, which comprises nonpartisan organizations dedicated to democracy, a bipartisan group of clerks from across the state, the Senate Elections committee chair state Sen. Jeremy Moss (D-Southfield), and Executive Office of the Governor representatives.
Tsernoglou is serving her first term representing the 75th House District, which sits at the intersection of Clinton, Ingham and Shiawassee Counties. In addition to serving as chair of the Elections committee, she also serves on the Judiciary and Criminal Justice committees, and Housing subcommittee of Economic Development and Small Business.

Q: How to get value from successful promise and store into external variable? Consider my below code:
userSessionDetail.save((err, data) => {
    if (data) {
        console.log('User Session has been successfully created!');
        returnUserData = {
            username: user.username,
            sessionid: LoginUserModel.findOne({
                    email: req.body._usercredentials.email
                })
                .sort({
                    loginDateTime: 'desc'
                })
                .then((res) => {
                    // console.log(res._id) Successfully get value from promise
                    return res._id
                })
                .catch((err) => {
                    console.log(err);
                })
        }
        console.log(returnUserData.sessionid); //empty
    } else {
        console.log('While creating User Session, something went wrong.');
    }
})

What I'm trying is to get the value from my promise and put in my property value of sessionid.
Above code doesn't give me the value from my promise. It shows me below results:

User Session has been successfully created! Promise {   emitter:
  EventEmitter {
       domain: null,
       _events: { reject: [Function] },
       _eventsCount: 1,
       _maxListeners: undefined },   emitted: {},   ended: true }

Could you clarify how to pass the resulting 'res._id' to the value of property sessionid, and not the promise itself?

A: mongoose's findone method returns a promise, and where the Promise.then() callback is executed when mongodb (eventually) returns the data:
userSessionDetail.save((err, data) => {
    if (data) {
        console.log('User Session has been successfully created!');
        LoginUserModel.findOne({
                            email: req.body._usercredentials.email
                        })
                        .sort({
                            loginDateTime: 'desc'
                        })
                        .then((res) => {
                            // console.log(res._id) Successfully get value from promise
                            returnUserData = {
                                username: user.username,
                                sessionid: res._id
                            }
                            console.log(returnUserData.sessionid); //empty
                        })
                        .catch((err) => {
                            console.log(err);
                        })
    } else {
        console.log('While creating User Session, something went wrong.');
    }

Diesel engines have long been used in trucks and buses as well as in cars. Diesel acceptance among US car consumers has been mixed with too many people still remembering the poorly designed GM engines of the 1970s and 1980s that were notorious for failing.
These days, car manufacturers are producing diesel engines that are not simply powerful and fuel efficient, but are clean burning. Servicing this growing contingent of diesel-powered cars are diesel service technicians and mechanics. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has some interesting data to share about these professionals and their chosen field.
An Audi 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V-6 engine.
Bus and truck mechanics as well as diesel engine specialists are tasked with diagnosing, adjusting, repairing and overhauling bus and truck engines. They may also work with automotive and marine engines.
These individuals are also known as fleet mechanics, service technicians, transit mechanics and diesel technicians. Their work may encompass the entire vehicle and include maintenance and repairs to brake systems, steering, wheels, suspension systems, transmissions and engines. These professionals use diagnostic tools and a variety of hand tools to get their work done.
Important skills required for the position include repair and troubleshooting capabilities, critical thinking, quality control analysis and decision making. Mechanics must know how to operate related tools and equipment, and be able to work well with others.
Average Pay for Diesel Service Technicians
Approximately 250,000 people were employed as diesel service technicians and mechanics in 2012 according to the BLS. Federal pay data is as of 2013.
The median wage for these professionals came in at $42,370 in 2013. Those in the 10th percentile earned $27,300 per year on average while those in the 25th percentile made $34,000 per year. Technicians in the 50th percentile made $42,700 per year. Those in the 75th and 90th percentile earned $53,600 and $63,800 pear year on average respectively.
Average Pay, State Data
As with most any field, salaries can vary widely across the country. The BLS provides ample state data with that information also current as of 2013.
Coming in with top pay among all states for diesel service technicians pay was Hawaii with an average annual wage of $61,200. Alaska followed at $58,100. Wyoming at $54,500, Nevada at $53,900 and New Jersey at $53,800 rounded out the top five states, each with average wages more than $10,000 above the national average.
On the bottom of the pay spectrum was West Virginia with a average annual salary of $32,300 per year. Following West Virginia, Arkansas came in at $34,100, Mississippi at $34,500, Oklahoma at $36,600 and Nebraska at $36,700.
The BLS notes that most employers of diesel service technicians and mechanics expert job candidates to have at least a high school diploma or its equivalent. While in high school, students should take courses in automotive repair, electronics and mathematics.
To handle diesel repair, many employers look for people with extensive experience, including graduates of vocational programs or community colleges. Hands-on training that includes handling basic parts to engine deconstruction is usually preferred. Certification from the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence can be advantageous and may be required especially by better paying employers.
The BLS has forecast an 8 to 14 percent increase in the number of related jobs through 2022 or about as fast of an increase as most other occupations. Some 75,100 job openings have been projected.
Much of the increase in job openings will come by handling the nation's growing truck fleet. Tougher federal emissions requirements mean that some older trucks will need to be retrofitted. Even so, the durable nature of these engines also means that demand for new people may be limited.
Candidates should also keep a close eye on the passenger vehicle market too. GM, Ford and Chrysler have long used diesel engines in their pickup trucks, but all three are also following their European competitors by introducing diesels to other models including sedans and SUVs. These new models will be needing servicing at some point, quite possibility fueling interest for a new crop of talented technicians.

Information updated June 2014.
What automotive engineering technicians earn.
Automotive engineering technicians work with engineers, examining proposed vehicle designs and changes, and conducting tests. Such tests are performed to gauge an automotive component or system, to measure its performance, efficiency and durability. These professionals are part of the broader mechanical engineering technician field as categorized by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, with slower than average job growth anticipated through 2020.
By performing manual and automated tests of automotive systems and components, automotive engineering technicians can make improvements based on observation and accumulated data. Technicians must document their findings; determine the causes of malfunctions or defects; install, maintain and test equipment; and follow oral and written instructions.
Technicians are responsible for calibrating test equipment, documenting results and making use of tools such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, signal generators and welding machinery to do their work. These professionals must be comfortable in working with spreadsheet, CAD and scientific software.
A STEM background — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — is essential for the automotive engineering technician job candidate. While a two-year degree may offer sufficient experience for some jobs, a four-year degree may be required for some positions.
The BLS notes that such students may start out at a vocational-technical school or a community college, taking algebra, trigonometry and science courses including core liberal arts courses. Classroom and laboratory components are part of the training curriculum, which will look at various parts of a car including its electrical system, brake and suspension systems, electronics and telecommunications, engines and transmissions, safety systems, the manufacturing process and quality control.
Average Salary of Automotive Engineering Technicians
As of 2013, the average hourly wage for an automotive engineering technician was $25.19. Annually, these technicians earn $52,390, for a higher rate than what drafters, environmental engineering technicians, industrial engineering technicians and machinists make.
Technicians in the 10th percentile earned $33,700 or less per year while those in the 25th percentile averaged $41,600 per year. The median salary was $52,400 per year. Those in the 75th percentile earned $65,600 per year and technicians in the top 10 percent averaged $77,200 or more per year.
Salaries for automotive engineering technicians varied across the country. The highest average salaries were found in Alaska where the median wage was $65,500 per year as 2013. New Mexico at $62,500, Maine at $60,600, New Jersey at $59,400 and Colorado at $59,000 per year followed.
On the other end of the pay spectrum salaries were lowest in South Dakota, averaging $38,400 per year. Other states with below average salaries included Oregon at $43,300, Arkansas at $44,200, West Virginia at $45,000 and Oklahoma coming in at $45,100.
Most automotive engineering technicians work in the manufacturing sector. These professionals may find themselves employed by an automotive parts supply company or a car manufacturer such as the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, Toyota, Hyundai or Mercedes-Benz. Others may find themselves employed in the professional, scientific and technical services sector.
The BLS is forecasting slow growth for automotive engineering technicians through 2022. For those professionals seeking improved job security, further training and certification as an automotive engineer may prove advantageous.

Yes! Our Training Program equips you with the skills and knowledge you need to operate your Good Earth Coffeehouse. Training is held at Good Earth's corporate offices and a training store, both in Calgary, Alberta. The cost of our Training Program is included in the franchise fee, although you will have personal expenses including transportation, meals, and accommodations while training. All Good Earth Franchise Partners are required to attend and successfully complete the training program.
Our real estate strategy is in keeping with how we operate Good Earth. Simply put, we believe in quality. We pursue prime locations with great exposure to pedestrians and/or vehicle traffic, and easy access for customers. We look for the right demographics and the right density of population. Our experienced real estate team performs site selection and lease negotiation in-house. They have a combined 60+ years of experience in retail real estate in Canada and know how to site for a successful Good Earth Coffeehouse.
A good coffeehouse is a comfortable, warm and inviting place. Our experienced team manages the design of each Good Earth Coffeehouse to suite its surroundings and set the stage for an authentic coffeehouse experience. The Franchise Partner signs a Construction Management Agreement and pays for the design, construction, furniture, fixtures, equipment and other materials and services associated with build-out of the location. Coordination and management of the construction process is provided by the Good Earth team.
Our experienced Operations team commissions each new store with the Franchise Partner. This is done in advance of opening and includes setting up the store, receiving initial inventories, and training staff. The Franchisee hires staff and trains them during the commissioning period.
The process of qualifying for a Good Earth Coffeehouse franchise can vary, and may take four weeks (minimum) or longer.
A new location is secured by our real estate department. Once secured, it takes 90-120 days to design the coffeehouse and obtain approvals, permits and pricing. It then takes another 90 days to build your coffeehouse and prepare to open it. In the case of refranchising an existing coffeehouse, the process is much shorter - requiring time for training the new Franchise Partner and supporting her in taking possession of the business.
Royalties are remitted to the Franchisor on a weekly basis at the rate of 7% of gross sales. The National Marketing Fund contribution is made on a weekly basis at the rate of 3% of gross sales. In addition to this contribution, each Franchise Partner is required to spend an additional 1-2% of sales on approved Local Store Marketing activities.
The Good Earth franchised operation typically requires a total investment of approximately $385,000 to $595,000 (exclusive of GST). This includes the $35,000 franchise fee. The exact amount will vary with each location depending on several factors including the exact size of the store, improvements provided by the Landlord, and other circumstances. Financing is generally available through Canadian lending institutions by way of a Small Business Loan. Although the full amount of the investment may be available to an applicant by way of a loan, Good Earth Cafes Ltd. will not approve a candidate unless they have a minimum of 40% of the total in cash to invest in the business. We believe this level of investment is required so a franchisee does not embark in the business with an unreasonable debt load.
Contact us using the Quick Inquiry Form just to get things rolling. Once you have submitted your Franchise Application Form, we invite you to meet with us to discuss Good Earth opportunities in detail. We can talk via phone, in person or via webinar. It's that easy. We're looking forward to meeting you!


Brunswick Plantation's 27-hole golf course provides beginners and avid golfers alike with a memorable and challenging experience. The golf course emphasizes the natural beauty of the terrain by integrating quick, bermuda grass greens and lush fairways with tall, Carolina pines.
The Magnolia Golf Course is reminiscent of the links of Scotland. The water holes test your skill, and the heavily mounded and bunkered holes are tough, but reachable.
The Dogwood Golf Course meanders along the waters of the Caw Caw Run among hardwood trees. The wide-open design presents scenic landscapes and allows each golfer the opportunity to hit every club in the bag.
Calabash, NC may well be an area better known for its seafood cuisine than it is for outstanding golf, but that could be changing. There are now more than 20 golf courses accessible to the public within a 20 mile radius. These are all top notch facilities with championship golf courses that are well kept and a pleasure to play. A few offer roomy and affordable accommodations as well as golf packages that won't require a second mortgage!
One such property is Brunswick Plantation, a gated golf course community in Calabash, NC. Since its planning days, Brunswick has grown from 650 acres to over 1750 acres. There are over 1,000 homes including single family custom homes, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom condos, and luxury townhouses, many of which are owned by active retirees. The community is rife with amenities: multiple swimming pools, fitness facilities, tennis, walking trails, and 2 plantation-style clubhouses, one of which is in the process of being converted to a second restaurant. The Hickory Shaft Bistro is scheduled to open this spring.
Brunswick Plantation is also home to 27-holes of Willard Byrd/Clyde Johnson golf with names that conjure up thoughts of Augusta: Azalea, Magnolia and Dogwood. These 27 holes create three different and unique 18-hole layouts, which can create its own weekend golf getaway.
Although each course has its own distinctive characteristics, they all share one thing in common: well-groomed and speedy Bermuda grass greens. They all have their share of slope and undulation and are "sneaky quick!" The tall Carolina pines that line many of the fairways as well as the water hazards and sand bunkers at Brunswick Plantation will challenge the most seasoned golfer. At the same time, beginners and weekend golfers will appreciate how wide open and extremely forgiving it is from the forward tees. The course will require you to be at your mental best as it requires a combination of shot making, strategy and thought.
Of the three nine hole tracks, the Magnolia course is somewhat reminiscent of a Scottish links course. You'll find that many of the large sand and grass bunkers offer a challenge as does the water which comes into play on three holes. Three other holes are heavily bunkered, emphasizing the fact that hazards are a key element of the opening holes. You'll also find a lot of mounding, primarily on the periphery of the fairways and around the greens. This can make for some uneven lies from the fairway as well as some interesting chip shots onto the greens. The par 5, 6th hole on the Magnolia Course has a little bit of everything. Off the tee, there are fairway bunkers on both sides to contend with, and they come into play regardless of what tees you are playing from. Water come into play off the tee if you pull your shot left; there's out of bounds if you push it right. Needless to say, good control off the tee is required and, if executed successfully, will set up a decision of whether to go for the green in two. Push your approach shot right and you could easily find one of three nasty little pot bunkers. The green features a false front and is cut on an angle, making approach shots a little tougher. Although there is no bunkering around the green there is a lot of mounding, which can make for a difficult up and down. Par is a good score here!
Although thick Carolina woodlands offer golfers some beautiful scenery as you make your way around The Azalea course, water is the most dominant hazard you will face on many of the holes. Often, this requires more brains than brawn of you want to put up a low score. The Azalea's signature hole is Number 4 and features an island green. From the white tees, the hole plays 152 yards. It's pretty simple: hit the green, make a par. Easier said than done for most! Number 9 on the Azalea Course is an interesting par 5. Large waste bunkers down the left side and water down the right present the perception of a narrow landing area although there is more room out there than you think. Your layup shot is played over water with more sand in the landing area and then a slightly uphill approach shot. At only 450 yards from the White tees, a good drive can set up a decision whether or not to go for the green in two and a possible eagle opportunity. This is yet another good risk/reward hole at Brunswick Plantation.
The Dogwood Course is Brunswick Plantation's newest nine and features a very wide open design and beautiful lush fairways. Caw Caw Creek and many large hardwood trees are just a couple of the hazards you'll encounter as you play your way around the course. The Dogwood nine is not to be taken lightly and will keep you on your toes. Number 7 on the Dogwood Course is a par 5 that plays as great as it looks, even in the early springtime, when the dormant brown rough provides a stunning contrast to the green fairways. This dogleg right features water all down the right side and nasty little pot bunkers in the landing area on the left. The layup shot is played to a narrowing fairway, and you'll need to be careful with your approach shot as water guards the entire right side of the green, with a sand bunker short right. The long, narrow green is crowned in the middle and requires a delicate touch. This is a well-designed golf hole.
Before your round at Brunswick Plantation, or if you just want to get in some practice, there's a full length driving range where you can hit every club in your bag as well as a chipping green complete with practice bunkers, and a large practice putting green. There's no reason to not be at your best when you step up to the first tee. Inside the plantation-style clubhouse, you'll find a fully stocked pro shop with a lot of logoed apparel from top name manufacturers as well as your favorite golf balls, gloves and accessories.
After your round, stop by Champion's Grille Restaurant which serves breakfast, lunch and all of your favorite libations. They can even set you up with a cooler to take back on the course with you as you make the turn. For breakfast, the Brunswick Omelet is a can't miss and for lunch try their Reuben sandwich, piled high with corned beef and sauerkraut. If you're not really hungry and just need something to nibble on, their Chicken Quesadillas are big enough to share. Occasionally, they will do dinner and if you ever have the opportunity, I highly advise it.
Brunswick Plantation also offers privately owned one and two bedroom condos that can easily sleep a foursome. These condos have fully equipped kitchens, living rooms with big screen TVs and comfortable beds. The bedrooms also have flat screen TVs. Better yet, they're about a 3-minute walk to the pro shop, driving range and first tee.
With on-site lodging and restaurants, Brunswick Plantation is the perfect place to host a wedding, family or business event. Their event services include hosting, planning, managing and catering. A quick phone call can get the process started.
With so much golf in the area for customers to choose from, Brunswick Plantation's goal is to make their customers their biggest advocates. After all, nothing beats word of mouth advertising! They do this by fulfilling the needs of their customers in a valuable and memorable way. The management staff at Brunswick Plantation have instilled in their team several traditional southern values: being friendly, neighborly, and treating people fairly.
Brunswick Plantation has joined together with several other area courses to offer a number of golf packages that include 3 nights lodging and three rounds of golf for as little as $199 (depending on time of year and availability). And, if you book your stay at one of the Brunswick Plantation villas, you'll receive 9 extra holes of golf. It's a perfect way to get in a little practice before the rest of your group joins you or get in that final game before leaving the area.
Lots of locals - Especially women. Longest round of my vacation. 5 + hours !!
Greens were quick and rolled really true, bunkers were in great shape, and overall maintenance was really good. Definitely a fun course that I'd play again.
Beautiful large greens, nice fairways. Not a hard course but one an average golfer can shoot a good score. Some nice water holes and several nice dog legs to make it interesting.
Played Magnolia and Dogwood on Monday, 8/30 and then Azalea and Magnolia on 9/1. I really enjoyed the course and would definitely come back. The description given for the courses (which I recognize from the Brunswick Plantation website) is misleading, however. In my opinion, all three nines are the "links" style. I never saw the "thick woods" they described for the Azalea course. All three nines feature a good bit of water and a generous amount of bunkers, and there are few elevation changes.


2. Prepare a new test table with at least 3 distinct test cases listing input and expected output for the code you created after step 1.
3. What happens if you entered a value other than an integer? (For example a float or even a string). Support your experimentation with screen captures of executing the code.
4. Modify the code to allow the user to enter an unspecified number of positive integers and calculate the average. In other words, the user could enter number of positive integers. (Hint:You can prompt the user for how many they want to enter. Or; you could use a sentinel value to trigger when the user has completed entering values). You may need to conduct some research on your own to solve this problem. Prepare a new test table with at least 3 distinct test cases listing input and expected output for the code you created. Support your experimentation with screen captures of executing the new code.

Bibliography

Chaos Campus
Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies is a comedy/pop culture parody series where zombies have taken over a city and the only hope humanity has for survival lies within the hands of the three sorority sisters- Jamie, Paige, and Brittany.  Thompson came up with the concept via "joking around with friends, laughing at all of the 'blank versus blank' movies that were starting to become popular, and knowing Hollywood will take a decent selling idea and run it into the ground (like natural disaster movies, buddy comedies, and now comic movies and 70's/80's TV). ...we had a game of how adding 'zombies' to any known property would make it even better. Like Married with Children could be 'Married with Zombies' or 'Zombies with Children'... and so on". The idea stayed with Thompson until he wrote a one-shot that eventually developed into an ongoing series.

Chaos Campus is planned to be a sixty issue story split into three 20-issue acts.  So far only the first 20 issues have been released, completing Act 1. Thompson also has plans for a movie adaptation of the series.

Drug: Alora
Alora (estradiol transdermal system) is designed to deliver estradiol continuously and consistently over a 3 or 4-day interval upon application to intact skin. Four strengths of Alora (estradiol transdermal system) are available, having nominal in vivo delivery rates of 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1 mg estradiol per day through skin of average permeability (inter-individual variation in skin permeability is approximately 20%). Alora (estradiol transdermal system) has contact surface areas of 9, 18, 27, and 36 cm2 and contains 0.77, 1.5, 2.3, and 3.1 mg of estradiol, USP, respectively. The composition of the estradiol transdermal systems per unit area is identical. Estradiol, USP is a white, crystalline powder that is chemically described as estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3, 17β-diol, has an empirical formula of C18H24O2 and has molecular weight of 272.39. The structural formula is: Alora (estradiol transdermal system) consists of three layers. Proceeding from the polyethylene backing film as shown in the cross-sectional view below, the adhesive matrix drug reservoir that is in contact with the skin consists of estradiol, USP and sorbitan monooleate dissolved in an acrylic adhesive matrix. The polyester overlapped release liner protects the adhesive matrix during storage and is removed prior to application of the system to the skin.
See BOXED WARNINGS, WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The adverse reaction information from clinical trials does, however, provide a basis for identifying the adverse events that appear to be related to drug use and for approximating rates.

Read the Alora (estradiol transdermal system) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effectsLearn More »
Alora (estradiol transdermal system) should be administered twice weekly, as instructed. The adhesive side of the Alora (estradiol transdermal system) system should be placed on a clean, dry area of skin. The recommended application site is the lower abdomen. In addition, the upper quadrant of the buttocks or outer aspect of the hip may be used. Alora (estradiol transdermal system) should not be applied to the breasts. The sites of application should be rotated, with an interval of at least 1 week allowed between applications to a particular site. The area selected should not be oily, damaged, or irritated. The waistline should be avoided, since tight clothing may rub the system off. The system should be applied immediately after opening the pouch and removing the rotective liner. The system should be pressed firmly in place with the palm of the hand for about 10 seconds, making sure there is good contact, especially around the edges. In the event that a system should fall off, the same system may be reapplied. If necessary, a new system may be applied to another site. The original treatment schedule should be maintained. Initiation of Therapy For treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms, vulvar and vaginal atrophy associated with the menopause, hypogonadism, castration, or primary ovarian failure, treatment is usually initiated with Alora (estradiol transdermal system) 0.05 mg/day applied to the skin twice weekly. The lowest dose and regimen that will control symptoms should be chosen and medication should be discontinued as promptly as possible. Attempts to discontinue or taper medication should be made at 3-month to 6-month intervals. For the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis, the minimum dose of Alora (estradiol transdermal system) that has been studied and shown to be effective is 0.025 mg/day applied to the skin twice weekly. Bone mineral density measurements should be repeated to monitor treatment efficacy. The dosage may be increased as necessary, depending on bone mineral density and adverse events. In women who are not currently taking oral estrogens or in women switching from topical therapy or another transdermal estradiol therapy, treatment with Alora (estradiol transdermal system) can be initiated at once. In women who are currently taking oral estrogens, treatment with Alora (estradiol transdermal system) should be initiated one week after withdrawal of oral therapy or sooner if menopausal symptoms reappear in less than one week. When estrogen is prescribed for a postmenopausal woman with a uterus, progestin should also be initiated to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer. A woman without a uterus does not need progestin. Use of estrogen, alone or in combination with a progestin, should be limited to the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman. Patients should be reevaluated periodically as clinically appropriate (e.g., 3-month to 6-month intervals) to determine if treatment is still necessary (see BOXED WARNINGS and WARNINGS). For women who have a uterus, adequate diagnostic measures, such as endometrial sampling, when indicated, should be undertaken to rule out malignancy in cases of undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal vaginal bleeding. Therapeutic Regimen Alora (estradiol transdermal system) may be administered in a continuous regimen in patients who do not possess an intact uterus. In those patients with an intact uterus who are not using concomitant progestin therapy, Alora (estradiol transdermal system) can be administered on a cyclic schedule (e.g., three weeks of therapy followed by one week without) for the treatment of postmenopausal symptoms. However, no studies have been conducted using this intermittent regimen for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Accelerated prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, and platelet aggregation time; increased platelet count; increased factors II, VII antigen, VIII antigen, VIII coagulant activity, IX, X, XII, VII-X complex, II-VII-X complex, and beta-thromboglobulin; decreased levels of anti-factor Xa and antithrombin III, decreased antithrombin III activity; increased levels of fibrinogen and fibrinogen activity; increased plasminogen antigen and activity.
Increased thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) leading to increased circulating total thyroid hormone, as measured by protein-bound iodine (PBI), T4 levels (by column or by radioimmunoassay) or T3 levels by radioimmunoassay. T3 resin uptake is decreased, reflecting the elevated TBG. Free T4 and free T3 concentrations are unaltered. Patients on thyroid replacement therapy may require higher doses of thyroid hormone.
Other binding proteins may be elevated in serum, i.e., corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), leading to increased circulating corticosteroids and sex steroids, respectively. Free hormone concentrations may be decreased. Other plasma proteins may be increased (angiotensinogen/renin substrate, alpha-1- antitrypsin, ceruloplasmin).
Increased plasma HDL and HDL2 subfraction concentrations, reduced LDL cholesterol concentration, increased triglycerides levels.
Impaired glucose tolerance.
Reduced response to the metyrapone test.

Alora (estradiol transdermal system) is indicated in:
Treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms associated with the menopause.
Treatment of moderate to severe symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy associated with the menopause. When prescribing solely for the treatment of symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, topical vaginal products should be considered.
Treatment of hypoestrogenism due to hypogonadism, castration or primary ovarian failure.
Prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis. When prescribing solely for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis, therapy should only be considered for women at significant risk of osteoporosis and non-estrogen medications should be carefully considered.
The mainstays for decreasing the risk of postmenopausal osteoporosis are weight bearing exercise, adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, and, when indicated, pharmacologic therapy. Postmenopausal women require an average of 1500 mg/day of elemental calcium to remain in neutral calcium balance. Therefore, when not contraindicated, calcium supplementation may be helpful for women with suboptimal dietary intake. Vitamin D supplementation of 400-800 IU/day may also be required to ensure adequate daily intake in postmenopausal women.
Alora (estradiol transdermal system) should not be used in individuals with any of the following conditions:
Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding.
Known, suspected, or history of cancer of the breast.
Known or suspected estrogen-dependent neoplasia.
Active deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or a history of these conditions.
Active or recent (e.g., within the past year) arterial thromboembolic disease (e.g., stroke, myocardial infarction).
Liver dysfunction or disease.
Alora (estradiol transdermal system) should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to its ingredients.
Known or suspected pregnancy. There is no indication for Alora (estradiol transdermal system) in pregnancy. There appears to be little or no increased risk of birth defects in children born to women who have used estrogens and progestins from oral contraceptives inadvertently during early pregnancy. (See PRECAUTIONS.)
Serious ill effects have not been reported following acute ingestion of large doses of estrogen containing oral contraceptives by young children. Overdosage of estrogen may cause nausea and vomiting, and withdrawal bleeding may occur in females.

General Addition of a progestin when a woman has not had a hysterectomy. Studies of the addition of a progestin for 10 or more days of a cycle of estrogen administration, or daily with estrogen in a continuous regimen, have reported a lowered incidence of endometrial hyperplasia than would be induced by estrogen treatment alone. Endometrial hyperplasia may be a precursor to endometrial cancer. There are, however, possible risks that may be associated with the use of progestins with estrogens compared to estrogen-alone regimens. These include:
A possible increased risk of breast cancer
Adverse effects on lipoprotein metabolism (e.g., lowering HDL, raising LDL)
Impairment of glucose tolerance
Elevated blood pressure. In a small number of case reports, substantial increases in blood pressure have been attributed to idiosyncratic reactions to estrogens. In a large, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, a generalized effect of estrogen therapy on blood pressure was not seen. Blood pressure should be monitored at regular intervals with estrogen use. Hypertriglyceridemia. In patients with pre-existing hypertriglyceridemia, estrogen therapy may be associated with elevations of plasma triglycerides leading to pancreatitis and other complications. Impaired liver function and past history of cholestatic jaundice. Estrogens may be poorly metabolized in patients with impaired liver function. For patients with a history of cholestatic jaundice associated with past estrogen use or with pregnancy, caution should be exercised and in the case of recurrence, medication should be discontinued. Hypothyroidism. Estrogen administration leads to increased thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) levels. Patients with normal thyroid function can compensate for the increased TBG by making more thyroid hormone, thus maintaining free T4 and T3 serum concentrations in the normal range. Patients dependent on thyroid hormone replacement therapy who are also receiving estrogens may require increased doses of their thyroid replacement therapy. These patients should have their thyroid function monitored in order to maintain their free thyroid hormone levels in an acceptable range. Fluid retention. Because estrogens may cause some degree of fluid retention, conditions which might be influenced by this factor, such as patients with asthma, epilepsy, migraine, and cardiac or renal dysfunction, warrant careful observation when estrogens are prescribed. Ovarian cancer The CE/MPA substudy of WHI reported that estrogen plus progestin increases the risk of ovarian cancer. After an average follow-up of 5.6 years, the relative risk for ovarian cancer for CE/MPA versus placebo was 1.58 (95% confidence interval 0.77-3.24) but was not statistically significant. The absolute risk for CE/MPA versus placebo was 4.2 versus 2.7 cases per 10,000 women-years. In some epidemiologic studies, the use of estrogen alone, in particular for ten or more years, has been associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer. Other epidemiologic studies have not found these associations. Exacerbation of endometriosis. Endometriosis may be exacerbated with administration of estrogen therapy. A few cases of malignant transformation of residual endometrial implants have been reported in women treated post-hysterectomy with estrogen alone therapy. For patients known to have residual endometriosis post-hysterectomy, the addition of progestin should be considered. Hypocalcemia. Estrogens should be used with caution in individuals with severe hypocalcemia. Exacerbation of other conditions. Estrogens may cause an exacerbation of asthma, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, migraine, porphyria, systemic lupus erythematosus, and hepatic hemangiomas and should be used with caution in women with these conditions. Patient Information See text of PATIENT INFORMATION after the HOW SUPPLIED section. Physicians are advised to discuss the PATIENT INFORMATION leaflet with patients for whom they prescribe Alora (estradiol transdermal system) . Laboratory Tests Estrogen administration should be guided by clinical response at the lowest dose for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms and vulvar and vaginal atrophy. Laboratory parameters may be useful in guiding dosage for the treatment of hypoestrogenism due to hypogonadism, castration and primary ovarian failure. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Long-term continuous administration of natural and synthetic estrogens in certain animal species increases the frequency of carcinomas of the breast, uterus, cervix, vagina, testis, and liver. Long-term continuous administration of estrogen, with and without progestin, in women with and without a uterus, has shown an increased risk of endometrial cancer, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. (See BOXED WARNINGS, WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS.) Pregnancy Category X Alora should not be used during pregnancy. (See CONTRAINDICATIONS.) Nursing Mothers Estrogen administration to nursing mothers has been shown to decrease the quantity and quality of the milk. Detectable amounts of estrogens have been identified in the milk of mothers receiving estrogen therapy. Estrogens are not indicated for the prevention of postpartum breast engorgement. Caution should be exercised when Alora (estradiol transdermal system) is administered to a nursing woman. Pediatric Use Estrogen replacement therapy has been used for the induction of puberty in adolescents with some forms of pubertal delay. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not otherwise been established. Large and repeated doses of estrogen over an extended time period have been shown to accelerate epiphyseal closure, which could result in short adult stature if treatment is initiated before the completion of physiologic puberty in normally developing children. If estrogen is administered to patients whose bone growth is not complete, periodic monitoring of bone maturation and effects on epiphyseal centers is recommended during estrogen administration. Estrogen treatment of prepubertal girls also induces premature breast development and vaginal cornification, and may induce gynecomastia. (See INDICATIONS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION sections.) Geriatric Use In the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study, including 4,532 women 65 years of age and older, followed for an average of 4 years, 82% (n=3,729) were 65 to 74 while 18% (n=803) were 75 and over. Most women (80%) had no prior hormone therapy use. Women treated with conjugated estrogens plus medroxyprogesterone acetate were reported to have a two-fold increase in the risk of developing probable dementia. Alzheimer's disease was the most common classification of probable dementia in both the conjugated estrogens plus medroxyprogesterone acetate group and the placebo group. Ninety percent of the cases of probable dementia occurred in the 54% of women that were older than 70. (See BOXED WARNINGS and WARNINGS, Dementia.) With respect to efficacy in the approved indications, there have not been sufficient numbers of geriatric patients involved in studies utilizing Alora (estradiol transdermal system) to determine whether those over 65 years of age differ from younger subjects in their response to Alora (estradiol transdermal system) .Last reviewed on RxList: 10/23/2008

UK Offers Hong Kong Residents Citizenship In Response To China's New Law
Stand for rules and obligations: Boris Johnson told hours after China made its first arrests in Hong Kong
Britain on Wednesday extended Hong Kong residents a broader path to citizenship in response to China's sweeping new security law for the former UK territory.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson's announcement represents the most direct international response to legislation that has been roundly condemned by Western allies.
It comes during a London review of its entire range of relations with Beijing that includes a reassessment of the role China's Huawei is playing in the buildup of Britain's 5G data network.
"We stand for rules and obligations," Prime Minister Boris Johnson told parliament just hours after China made its first arrests in Hong Kong under the new legislation.
"The enactment and deposition of this national security law constitutes a clear and serious breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration."
Johnson said London had warned Beijing that it would introduce a new route for those with British National Overseas status to move to the UK.
"And that is precisely what we will do now," he said.
About 300,000 Hong Kongers have BNO passports and another 2.6 million are eligible to apply.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Britain's offer also extended to dependents of those with BNO status but refused to be drawn about how many would apply.
Sky News and other media said Raab's office also summoned China's embassador Liu Xiaoming to express its deep concern.
'Deeply disturbing'
Hong Kong was under UK jurisdiction until Britain handed it to China in 1997 with a guarantee that Beijing would preserve the city's judicial and legislative autonomy for 50 years.
But critics say the new law — passed by Beijing's rubber-stamp parliament this week without its text being released to the public — tests the limits of the "One Country, Two Systems" principle that formally entered international law in 1984.
Britain's last Hong Kong governor called details of the legislation unveiled overnight "even worse than I expected".
"It is Orwellian stuff," Chris Patten told the BBC.
"It does go wider and further than anybody had feared."
Britain's response to China's legislation offers a much smoother pathway to UK citizenship for millions of Hong Kongers.
Raab said Hong Kongers with BNO status and their dependents would first have the right to work or study in Britain for five years.
They would then have the right to apply for settled status then possible citizenship.
He said there would be "no quotas" and described the entire system as "bespoke".
"This is a grave and deeply disturbing step," he said of the Chinese law.
"China through this national security legislation is not living up to its promises to the people of Hong Kong. We will live up to our promises to them," he told lawmakers.
Britain had opened itself up to closer relations with China as it sought out trading partners after ending its decades-long membership in the European Union this year.
Johnson's government also irritated the US administration in January by allowing the private Chinese telecoms group Huawei to unroll Britain's speedy new data network.
But Britain is now studying ways it can cut Huawei out of its system entirely and build up an alliance of European and Asian providers that reduces China's dominance in the field.
British condemnation of the Chinese law has spanned the political divide and seen London's Asia-focused HSBC group come under political assault for openly backing it last month.
Raab did not mention the bank by name but noted: "The rights and the freedoms and our responsibilities in this country to the people of Hong Kong should not be sacrificed on the altar of bankers' bonuses".
HSBC offered support for the law after public pressure from a pro-Beijing figure in Hong Kong who pointed to the bank's reliance on business in China.

I just dont want to elaborate all the events happened to me for a short time with Spectrum Mobile. The customer service department dont have enough knowledge to help the customers.

It seemed like they just discouraged me from unlocking my phone. I strongly do not recommend anyone to This new Spectrum Mobile Service unless you want to bring on the world of troubles to yourself.

The Center for Disease Control and Department of Education broadly defined bullying as unwanted aggression between individuals with an imbalance of power, with repetitive acts intended to cause harm to the perceived "weaker" person/s.
While the common perception is that only the victims end up getting negatively affected by bullying, an often overlooked part of bullying is what it does to the bullies and how they turn out later on.
Various organizations and governments have taken steps and conducted studies on how to stop bullying, with some going as far as creating laws to counteract bullying.
It should go without saying that bullying is a terrible thing. A recent study by Yale University found a correlation between bullying and suicide. According to the study, victims of bullying were 2 to 9 times more likely to have suicidal thoughts.
Statistics posted by ABC news stated that 160,000 children opt to stay home on a daily basis to avoid being bullied. The negative effects not only affect humans but plants and animals as well. IKEA showcased this in one of their ads by bullying a plant.
After a month of hurling insults at the plant, it was shown that it had withered and was in worse shape than when the experiment began. It has been discovered that victims of bullying end up developing a multitude of mental disorders. Some prominent disorders are depression, anxiety, social isolation, low self-esteem, et cetera.
Bullies may seem like they end up on top whenever they bully someone but the truth of the matter is that they themselves end up getting negatively affected by these acts. According to a recent study published in JAMA Psychology, bullies were 4 to 5 times more likely to develop an anti-social personality disorder.
This meant that these people tend to show little empathy towards others and are more likely to commit crimes. A 2012 study by Catherine Bradshaw and her colleagues at Johns Hopkins University also revealed that bullies were also more likely to develop substance abuse problems and under-perform in school.
Combining all of these effects actually puts bullies at a greater danger later in life due to their violent behaviours. This creates a cycle of messed up kids growing up into messed up adults and messing up their kids in turn.
One good way to lessen your children's chances of bullying is to treat them with kindness. Pay attention to them. Show them that being cruel to other kids will not work out well for everyone involved.
Most bullies are the way they are due to problems at home, so make sure to make your home environment does not end up creating issues for your child. While self-defence is a good thing to learn, more emphasis should be placed on teaching problematic children to be kind, not on teaching victims to fight back.
Immediate intervention should be done for anyone being bullied and being a bully, do not wait for another kid to commit suicide or a crime; every reformed bully also results in more empowered victims.

Marcus Washington reports the NTSB campaign focuses on the dangers of drowsy driving.
Many advocates say it is difficult to determine how many accidents are caused by drowsy driving, but they are adamant that it can be just as deadly as driving drunk.
It's often said while driving on the road you are driving for yourself and the other vehicles around you.
"You're constantly on the defensive," said Marlene Frank, of Florida.
For Frank and her husband, if someone is tired they take breaks as they move from Florida to Rhode Island.
"A 10-minute break and calculate how many miles you're actually missing in driving, it's not worth it to not stop," Frank said.
Driving while drowsy was the topic of discussion in Washington, D.C. as the NTSB held a forum on the issue.
Mark Rosekind is an NTSB board member.
"It doesn't matter the circumstance, if you are not getting enough sleep, that's going to make you potentially dangerous on the road," said Rosekind, NTSB.
According to AAA, each year there are 400,000 reported accidents caused by drowsy drivers; 100,000 of those caused injuries, 500 end with a death.
"Impaired driving probably covers alcohol and drugs, distraction and drowsy or fatigue driving as well, and that's the problem," Rosekind said.
There are tests to determine if a person has been driving while under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, but many question how do you truly determine if a person was driving while drowsy?
"The next time I woke up, I was half off the road and half on the road, so I jerked the wheel to one side to get back on the highway and that sent me into a roll," said Alex Noel, drowsy driver.
Noel's drive home sleepy from a dance left him temporarily paralyzed on his left side with a concussion and bruised lungs.
"It should have killed me. I was extremely lucky," Noel said.
This is the very reason why many say if you are tired, take time to rest before getting behind the wheel.
"You just have to be alert," Frank said.
Because it's so hard to determine if an accident is caused by drowsy driving, AAA says they think that figure is more around 1 million accident a year.
NTSB says that getting just two hours less of the recommended eight hours of sleep is enough to impair your driving.

Wolfsburg have in the past had a reputation for being a hard side to wear down at home. But their present league position tells the not all is well, and that they are not the solid middle table side of a few seasons back. They evidently played well enough to deserve something from their match in Berlin at the weekend, and on the back of that performance many fancy them to win this encounter. But against a Frankfurt side that is back to full strength, and taking into consideration that this is a six pointer with both sides hovering close to the relegation zone, this should be a tight affair and under 2.5 goals is the call. In their Bundesliga 1 home matches this season Wolfsburg have 6 from 8 unders, while Frankfurt have 7 from 9 in their away matches. This fixture has been under in recent times, and a close low scoring affair is predicted.
