If James Packer's Sydney Crown casino has to rely on local gamblers to make a profit, it will exact a toll of suffering from the Sydney community
Sydneysiders should share billionaire casino magnate James Packer's "deep concern" at the news that 18 Crown Casino employees have been detained in China, albeit for different reasons. While we should be concerned about the fate of Crown's staff, this move also has implications for Crown's Australian facilities, especially the casino currently being constructed on Sydney Harbour.
The Barangaroo casino was marketed to the public in 2013 on the basis that it would attract VIP high-rollers from Asia. While detailed business modelling was never revealed to the public, Packer admitted at the time that "the economics on this project are tough" and that viability "involves Crown making some really significant assumptions along the line of tripling the value of international VIP business coming to Sydney".

Widespread shareholder opposition to tie-up with poker giant Amaya has led to embarrassment for chairman Gareth Davies
Chairing a public company involves two essential skills. First, know when to change the chief executive. Second, don't get fancy ideas about mergers if your shareholders won't back them. Gareth Davis got a tick in the first box when he waved goodbye to James Henderson in July after online growth went soft. On the second front, however, he has suffered embarrassment.
Hedge fund Parvus, William Hill's biggest shareholder, hated the idea of a £4.6bn "merger of equals" with Amaya, the Canadian owner of the PokerStars online poker website, and said so loudly. The bookie's board then discovered little appetite among other big investors. Thus it has had to fold and abandon the talks – and maybe also reflect on the old poker saying that if you can't see the sucker around the table, then it's you.
Bookmaker says it will not pursue potential £4.6bn tie-up with Canadian company after opposition from shareholders
William Hill and its Canadian suitor Amaya have ended talks over a potential £4.6bn merger following opposition from some of the UK bookmakers' major shareholders.
Earlier this month, the companies said they were pursuing a "merger of equals", but on Tuesday, William Hill said it was walking away from a potential deal.
Employees of Crown Resorts, including three Australians, arrested over soliciting Chinese high rollers to gamble in overseas casinos
Crown Resorts has been unable to contact any of its employees since they were detained three days ago in a series of late-night raids in China and taken away for questioning.
"To date, Crown has not been able to speak with our employees and is working closely with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to urgently make contact and ascertain their welfare," a Crown Resorts spokeswoman told Guardian Australia on Monday.

Betting shops accused of ignoring flaws in self-adopted measures to curb gambling addiction on fixed-odds betting terminals
A system set up by bookmakers to address problem gambling is in disarray, according to campaigners, after a report exposed vast differences in how firms apply the measures.
The report, produced by accountancy group PwC and seen by the Guardian, found flaws in how betting shops use "player awareness systems", which are meant to curb addiction to fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs).
Hundreds of jobseekers flock to planned casino in New York: 'It's a new start'
The Rivers Casino will open in Schenectady in 2017, bringing 1,200 jobs to the area – and tempting workers interested in everything from policing to fashion
"If nobody has any questions, I'm going to have to break into a dance!" exclaimed a representative of the Rivers Casino in Schenectady, New York, at a group of potential recruits. She then broke into a little dance.
"We told her not to do that!" shouted another, half joking, and the other representatives laughed.

Proposed ban on daytime TV gambling adverts has racing chiefs worried
• Value of rights depends on bookies paying for programme slots
• BHA says sport will be united in calling for an exemption for racing
Rhododendron was a hugely impressive winner of the Fillies' Mile on the opening day of Future Champions Weekend here on Friday, but as the applause died away, the background noise was the sound of racing's administrators preparing to fight tooth and nail to stop any plan by the government to limit TV gambling advertisements. The possibility of a pre-watershed ban on the adverts was floated in Friday's edition of The Times and, while the report was speculative and anonymously sourced, it was enough to send a shiver through senior figures, both on the turf and beyond.

Betting firms and TV channels oppose likely plan to ban daytime adverts
Figures show gambling firms spent £162m on advertising so far this year
Betting firms and broadcasters have lashed out against the prospect of a ban on betting adverts on daytime TV, amid reports the government is planning a crackdown to protect children and problem gamblers.
The two industries voiced their criticism as figures revealed that gambling firms' spend on TV advertising has more than doubled since 2012, reaching £162m already this year.
EuroMillions winner could scoop £136m
Single ticketholder would become Britain's 752nd richest person if they won Friday's jackpot
A £136m EuroMillions jackpot could make someone the UK's third biggest lottery winner. The estimated jackpot for Friday night's draw would leave a single player who matched all five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers the joint 752nd richest person in Britain, based on the Sunday Times Rich List.
But if the prize is not won, it will snowball further and roll over to Tuesday.

One in eight European teenage boys gamble online, says survey
School students across Europe smoke and drink less but there are new public health concerns about excessive screen time
Online gambling by teenage boys across Europe is becoming a huge public health concern with one in eight now gambling frequently, according to a Europe-wide survey of school students aged 15 and 16.
The results of the four-yearly survey, in which 96,000 school students in 35 countries took part, reveal that while teenage smoking and drinking are showing signs of decline, there are new concerns about the dangers of excessive screen time and new psychoactive drugs.

Panorama: Why Are Gambling Machines Addictive? review – scandal of the century
This personal and brave investigation by a woman whose partner killed himself after becoming addicted to gambling showed how our high streets have become gaming arcades of misery
Go to any high street in the country – apart from perhaps the really posh ones, in very affluent places – and you'll see a lot of betting shops. Often, you'll find more than one branch of the same variety – two Ladbrokes, say – within spitting distance. The reason for that is FOBTs – fixed-odds betting terminals. Only four machines are allowed in any one branch. You want eight? You have to open another shop. And you do want eight, because FOBTs bring the industry £1.7bn a year. And so what if it's £1.7bn from the poor, the sick and the vulnerable? Or that Britain's high streets are being turned into gaming arcades of misery?
Wendy Bendel's investigation – Panorama: Why Are Gambling Machines Addictive? (BBC1) – was a personal and a brave one. Two years ago, her partner, Lee, killed himself, at the age of 36. In a confessional letter to her, he singled out these high-stakes, high-frequency FOBTs as the core of his addiction. Now, she's trying to understand what it is that has made her a single mum.

Trump and Atlantic City: the lessons behind the demise of his casino empire
In 1990, Donald Trump threw a star-studded opening party at the $1.1bn Taj Mahal. Today, as it is about to be shut down, locals accuse him of 'sucking the life and the money' from the casino and leaving the city to deal with the fallout
The night of 2 April 1990 is one Tina Condos will never forget. It was the opening night of Donald Trump's new $1.1bn Atlantic City casino, and Condos was working as a cocktail waitress serving drinks to Michael Jackson, Elle Macpherson and the other stars and socialites who had flown in for the big night.
Lit by $16m worth of chandeliers, Trump described the casino, then the most expensive ever built, as the "eighth wonder of the world". The property tycoon now turned presidential candidate also promised it would transform the fortunes of the New Jersey coastal city.

New betting site Black Type Bet promises not to ban customers
• New site trying to trade in a traditional way
• Black Type admant it will not close winning accounts
A prominent campaigner for increased consumer rights for punters has offered a cautious welcome to a new player in the crowded internet gambling market: a bookmaking site that claims it will not ban or restrict its customers for winning, and will guarantee to lay any price to lose at least £500.
"It's positive that an online bookmaker is trying to trade in a traditional way," Brian Chappell, the founder of the website justiceforpunters.org, said on Thursday. "This type of approach, if it continues, will certainly be welcomed by most punters, especially the thousands who have their bets restricted to pennies by the major players."

Trump Taj Mahal bankruptcy pits Carl Icahn's casino against striking workers
Regulatory filings show owner could flip dying Atlantic City casino at the expense of thousands of employees who accuse him of purposely withholding benefits
Most people lose money at the Trump Taj Mahal – that's the way casinos work. But if you're investor Carl Icahn, billionaire owner of Atlantic City's decaying but still opulent, elephant-fronted Taj, you have some odds in your favor.
Icahn bought Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump's troubled New Jersey casino operations out of bankruptcy in March. Now he says striking workers have made it impossible to turn around a property that has lost him $100m and he will close the casino after the Labor day holiday on 5 September. Regulatory filings show he is unlikely to leave the casino out of pocket.
Trump Taj Mahal closing after multiple bankruptcies and union strike
Casino once owned by now defunct Trump Entertainment Resorts will be shuttered after Labor Day weekend as union leader takes parting shot at Trump
It was billed as the "eighth wonder of the world" when it opened a quarter-century ago on the glitziest stretch of the Jersey shore, but after multiple bankruptcies and the longest union strike in Atlantic City casino history, the Trump Taj Mahal is about to go the way of the Colossus of Rhodes.
The casino, once the crown jewel of the now defunct Trump Entertainment Resorts company, will shutter after Labor Day weekend, according to a statement issued by Tropicana Entertainment's CEO Tony Rodio, who put the failure of the casino at the feet of striking union members and "the prior equity owners who put it into its recent bankruptcy" – that is, the Trump Organization.
A climate scientist and economist made big bucks betting on global warming | Dana Nuccitelli
Chris Hope and James Annan took £2,000 from two GWPF advisors who were foolish enough to bet against global warming
Climate scientist James Annan and climate economist Chris Hope made a nice sum this year for a bet they made on global warming in 2008. As Hope tells the story:
The record warmth of 2015 just made me £1,334 richer. While the extra cash is a nice bonus, it sadly demonstrates that the atmospheric dice remain loaded towards increasing climate change.
So, how did I turn increasing temperatures into cash? About five years ago I was at a conference in Cambridge where most of the participants were sceptical about the influence of humans on the climate. I took the microphone and asked if any of them would care to make a £1,000 bet with me about whether 2015 would be hotter than 2008. Two brave souls, Ian Plimer and Sir Alan Rudge, agreed.
I asked him what odds he would give me. In 2011, he was confident enough in the reality of climate change to offer me odds of 4 to 1 against 2015 being cooler than 2008 ... now I was perfectly hedged: I would win £1,333 if 2015 were cooler than 2008, and £1,334 if it were warmer.
Opponents of science-informed policy cite uncertainty as a reason to delay action. Mainstream science acknowledges and objectively quantifies uncertainty, whereas opponents often use the language of certainty. Because communication is typically more persuasive when a message is conveyed with certitude, contrary voices may appear stronger than scientific voices to the public. To redress this imbalance, we must find a way to determine whether expressed opinions represent true opinions. One longstanding method is through wagering, and this session will examine the role of bets in exposing actual beliefs related to climate change and associated risk.
they could offer a financial incentive for people who disagree about the likelihood of climate change to carefully assess the risks, instead of just shouting their disagreement across the void.
If we do nothing, all the signs are that dangerous climate change is one of the safest bets around.

Apparently, Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs got his inspiration for the Genius Bar from the concierge station of the Ritz-Carlton hotel.
Luxury hotels are renowned for providing utmost comfort and care to their customers. These facilities boast of such varied amenities that are not easily available with small motels and lodgings. From chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royces to personal butlers to the usual 24-hour fitness centers, swimming pools, and Wi-Fi. These hotels not only provide them but pride themselves on being the best in the business.
With global travel and tourism at an all time high, the luxury accommodation options are also at an all time high. Yet, only a select few stand the test of time to provide an experience that feels just like home. Given below are a compilation of the best luxury hotel brands around the world.
Most Popular Hotel Brands in the World
Aman Resorts was founded by Adrian Zecha in 1988 and was the first to play with the concept of boutique hotels. He created the first resort in Phuket with only 500 rooms and 40 villas. Now, it has a presence in almost 20 countries by offering plush villas, bungalows with private pools and outdoor lounging areas. The most striking feature is that there's no room service or even a reception desk, but 4 staff members are allocated to each guest. The name Aman in Sanskrit best describes the experience one derives on visiting their hotels is rather apt―tranquility and peace of mind.
Banyan Tree Hotels had its humble beginnings at Phuket, Thailand and was the brainchild of Ho Kwon Ping and his wife Claire Chiang.

One of the premier services provided is the Undercover series that promises guests dinner and a wonderful evening.

To ensure that the customer has his/her primary comforts fulfilled, it even allows him to choose his own mattress, bed sheets, and pillows.
The name Hilton, although synonymous with Paris Hilton today, is known for its famous hotels and resorts around the world. It was started by Conrad N Hilton in Texas in 1919. With over 4,000 hotels and resorts spread across 91 countries, it has amassed a number of reputed hotels under its brand such as Waldorf-Astoria and Hampton Inn hotels.

Over the past decade, the North American automotive industry has been slowly adapting to the growing worldwide consensus around the dangers of fossil fuel emissions and the importance of shifting toward more carbon-neutral vehicle designs.
But while there is still progress to be made in greening the automotive industry, great strides have been made in terms of providing consumers with a wide variety of eco-friendly vehicle options, and major industry players like the Ford Motor Company have been at the forefront of developing and popularizing more fuel-efficient cars, trucks, and SUV's.
You can learn more at the Colony Ford Lincoln Blog if you want to explore all of the ways that Ford is modernizing its vehicle line-up, but here are the three eco-friendly 2019 Ford vehicles creating the most buzz.
The Ford Focus Electric is Ford's second fully-electric vehicle after the Ford Ranger EV, and in the nearly ten years since it first went on the market, it has become an industry standard for what an electric sedan should be.
The Focus Electric uses the same body as its gas-powered counterpart, and its lithium-ion battery can keep it on the road for nearly two hundred kilometers, making it one of the first electric vehicles that is actually practical for the needs of most commuters.
The EcoSport is the latest addition to Ford's North American line-up, but it has been a favorite in the South American market since the early 2000s. The EcoSport is a subcompact crossover SUV designed to strike an intuitive balance between the energy and thrust of a sport utility vehicle and the efficiency and maneuverability of a sedan.
It is perhaps unsurprising that, in a world where compact, efficient SUVs are becoming some of the hottest properties on the automotive market, the EcoSport has received rave reviews since its 2017 debut.
Some automakers position environmentally friendly driving technology as a choice between efficiency and performance. One of the reasons why Ford has handled the transition to greener engineering more smoothly than its North American competitors is due to its ability to increase the efficiency of high performing vehicles like the F-150 and the Mustang without dampening their vital energy.
The EcoBoost Mustang is a case-in-point. The Mustang is one of the most beloved pony cars in the world, legendary for its drag strip courage and incredible horsepower. Its V-6 and V-8 engine variants are not exactly light on fuel, however, which has generally led to the Mustang being viewed as wasteful from a fuel standpoint.
But with the EcoBoost Mustang, auto aficionados don't need to choose between speed, power, and efficiency. Its turbocharged, fuel injected engine gives it plenty of thrust without using a lot of fuel, making it the ideal vehicle for the environmentally conscious speed freak.
As climate change becomes an increasingly pressing issue for all humans, auto companies will need to find ways to reduce vehicle emissions while delivery vehicles that the market wants. Fortunately, major auto companies like Ford are already pioneering ways this could be done, and it is already possible for consumers to make eco-friendly choices without accepting worse performance.

Finger fracture sidelines Chanclas' standout Porter Brown
Outfielder Porter Brown is out for the season with a broken finger, Flying Chanclas manager John McLaren said Tuesday. The injury was revealed in an X-ray on Monday. – photo by Joe Alexander
Just when the Flying Chanclas de San Antonio seemed to pick up some momentum in their first season in the Texas Collegiate League, they've run into a rough patch of misfortune.
Manager John McLaren said Tuesday that outfielder Porter Brown, the team's leading hitter, has been lost for the season with a broken finger. Also, third baseman Conner Shepherd is expected to miss at least a week, also with a finger injury.
McLaren delivered the news in a telephone interview just hours before the Chanclas, riding a four-game winning streak, were scheduled to play a road game in Louisiana against the Acadiana Cane Cutters. The game has since been canceled because of unfavorable field conditions.
Both players apparently suffered the injuries when they were hit by pitches. Brown's incident happened last Wednesday in Game 2 of the season at Amarillo. Shepherd had to come out of Sunday's home series finale against Acadiana.
McLaren said the diagnosis on both TCU scholarship players came on Monday when the two went in for X-rays.
Going into the exams, McLaren thought Shepherd's hand injury was more serious and that Brown was just sore. But it turned out to be the other way around.
Brown, a former Reagan High School standout, said in a text message to The JB Replay that the fracture was on his right-hand pinky finger. He had played in all six games and was leading the team with a .375 average.
"He's a tough kid," McLaren said. "I asked him every day how he was feeling. He said, 'I'm good skip. I'm ready to go.' The way he was swinging the bat, he wasn't favoring it at all … You'd have never known anything was wrong with him."
As the Chanclas open a series in Louisiana, starting a stretch in which they play six of the next eight on the road, they're expected to transition infielders Leyton Barry and Lee Thomas into left field, where Brown was playing.
"We'll mix some guys in there at third base (to replace Shepherd)," McLaren said. "We got some versatility. So, we're going to utilize it. We'll try to mix some guys into different positions."
After losing two straight to open the season, the Chanclas defeated Amarillo on the road last Thursday, and then followed by sweeping three games at home from the Cane Cutters.

Even though the weather has been hot and humid, McLaren said his team has held up well in the early going of the 30-game season.
"We're fine," McLaren said. "We got a good group of kids and we got a lot of enthusiasm. There's days that we hit (indoors) in the cage when it's hot, and taking infield. We're doing our best to monitor the situation as we go on."
Pitching out of the bullpen has been a strength of the team during the winning streak, with the Chanclas getting solid performances from Tyler Flores, Kobe Jaramillo, Matthew Sesler, Connor Schmidt and Arturo Guajardo.
"We're still sorting things out (on the pitching staff), trying to get everybody a role," McLaren said. "We'll see where we are, see if we need to flip some guys from starting to relieving. I've been very happy with the way the guys have been throwing. It seems like they're getting better every time out, getting more relaxed.
"That's a big part of it, for them to feel comfortable."
San Antonio (4-2) at Acadiana (1-5), Wednesday at 7:05 p.m.

Brown embraces homecoming opportunity with the Chanclas

Porter Brown attends Texas Christian University as an undergraduate student in neuroscience. He is a young man with high hopes of one day becoming a doctor, possibly an orthopedic surgeon.
In addition, Brown also plays baseball, a sport in which he may already have earned enough credits to enter the school of hard luck.
It's true. After sparking San Antonio Reagan to two straight UIL state tournaments, Brown's career on the diamond has been stalled the past few years by misfortune.
In 2019, he emerged in his first season as a collegian to snag a spot in the starting lineup at TCU, one of the top programs in the nation.
But after hitting .278 and stealing seven bases in eight attempts, the speedster went down with a shoulder injury that knocked him out for the year.
Just as Brown got healthy, adversity emerged again, like a bad hop on a bumpy infield.
The Horned Frogs were off to a fast start in March when the coronavirus pandemic hit, shutting down operations at TCU's Lupton Stadium, along with just about every aspect of sports and life in America.
Trying his best to shrug it all off, Brown stayed calm, focusing in the ensuing months on what he could control.
Now he's set to resume his career this summer with the Flying Chanclas de San Antonio in the Texas Collegiate League.
"Growing up in San Antonio, I've always watched the Missions and the Flying Chanclas," Brown said. "When my coach (at TCU) called and told me I had an opportunity to play in my city, in my hometown, I was grateful and excited. I'm excited for baseball to start up in the summer league."
Brown is scheduled to report to the Chanclas, based at Wolff Stadium, on Tuesday.
The season opener is set for June 30 in Amarillo, and then he and his teammates will open in front of the home fans on July 3 against Acadiana, a ball club based in Lafayette, La.
Even though Brown brings only modest credentials from his star-crossed TCU career to the TCL, he may immediately emerge as a player to watch, especially when fans witness his speed.
For fans who have never seen him accelerate from first to second base on a steal attempt, they can ask Reagan coach Chans Chapman for verification of his ability.
"I think the thing that jumps out at you is the way he runs," Chapman said. "I mean, he's one of the fastest guys, as far as baseball speed, that I've ever been around. Like I said, he's a very dynamic player. I mean, he can hit. He runs the bases well. He's good defensively.
"You know, he can change the game. He can affect the game in so many ways."
Ever since he donned a uniform and suited up at McAllister Park Little League as a 10-year-old, Brown has played with joy and enthusiasm.
He's played for his teammates. But this summer, the season is also about opportunity.
A year from now, he'll be eligible for the Major League Baseball draft. And because he's only played a combined 29 games at TCU during the past two springs, Brown knows he needs to turn it on.
He is a strong student academically at TCU, one who might one day wield a surgeon's knife. But Brown also wants to find out whether he is good enough to swing a bat in the pros.
Asked about his big-picture dream in baseball, Brown paused and answered carefully.
"Right now, my dreams are smaller," he said. "One pitch at a time. One game at a time. One summer league at a time, is really what matters. Once I get to the future, I'll worry about that then."
Brown was a dynamo at Reagan, batting .360 and .385 in his last two seasons, respectively. Over those two years, he smacked 18 doubles and stole 55 bases, including 29 steals in 31 attempts as a senior.
In the past few weeks, Chapman has watched Brown take batting practice at Reagan. As Brown battered balls to the fence and beyond, the coach marveled at the way his former player has changed physically since 2018.
"You could tell that getting bigger and stronger has helped him, just the way the ball comes off the bat now," the coach said. "That's not to say it didn't … when he was in high school, but (after) two years in a college weightlifting program, it does come off different."
At TCU, fans have yet to see Brown's full potential. He played only 16 games in 2019 when he hurt his shoulder.
This year, he was batting .189 in 13 of TCU's 15 games when it all came to a stop, with the COVID-19 threat eventually ending the season.
Regardless, Brown remains as a prospect. He was scheduled to play in the highly-regarded Cape Cod summer league before it, too, was canceled.
TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said it's evident that his outfielder's progress has been slowed by the circumstances.
"Porter is an outstanding young man with an incredible amount of potential both on the field and off," Schlossnagle said. "When he is at his best and healthy, he is a dynamic offensive player and a very capable defender in the outfield.
"He has had to overcome some injury and, like the rest of our players, the COVID pandemic has stunted his development. (But) he is a supreme worker, incredibly intelligent and very self aware."
Brown also is grateful, happy to have the chance to play at home this summer.
"I am happy to be back," he said.

Watch the Boston Dynamics robot family dance like 2020 was a good year
With a namesake like Atlas, you wouldn't think Boston Dynamics' bipedal robot would be the most lithe specimen on the planet. But then we've already seen it has a knack for parkouring, and now you can add dancing to its list of talents. In its latest sure-to-be viral video, we see Atlas and the entire Boston Dynamics family, including the dog-like Spot and box-stacking Handle, dance to "Do You Love Me" from The Contours. And as a 6'2 man, let me just say I'm jealous that anything so tall can move with so much mobility and grace. This isn't the first time we've seen a Boston Dynamics robot gyrate its limbs to a classic tune. Back in 2018, the then SoftBank subsidiary shared a video of Spot dancing to "Uptown Funk." Watching the two clips consecutively highlights just how far the company's robots have come in two short years. The dance we saw Spot pull off in 2018 was impressive, but it wasn't able to dance pointe like its 2020 counterpart.

Q: Will NSURLRequest timeout value overrides NSURLSessionConfiguration timeoutIntervalForRequest value? I am creating a NSURLSession object with timeoutIntervalForRequest configuration = 120 seconds. After this I am creating a NSURLSessionDataTask object and calling the method dataTaskWithRequest:completionHandler. Here one input parameter is a NSURLRequest. Again while I create a NSURLRequest, I can specify a some of parameters like timeout, cachePolicy etc. But these were already mentioned while I created NSURLSessionConfiguration. So if I use different values for a NSURLRequest, will those values override NSURLSessionConfiguration values?

A: In short, YES.
According to Apple's document:

In some cases, the policies defined in this configuration may be overridden by policies specified by an NSURLRequest object provided for a task. Any policy specified on the request object is respected unless the session's policy is more restrictive. For example, if the session configuration specifies that cellular networking should not be allowed, the NSURLRequest object cannot request cellular networking.

A: My recollection is that yes, the value in the request takes precedence over the session's value.  With that said, I'm not 100% certain, so I would try it and make sure, assuming it actually matters.

Vehicular accidents have been rampant these days. They are shown all over the news. Be it on the newspaper headlines or even on TV newscasts. Sometimes it's so devastating that I would have to turn off the TV because I can't stand watching the horrific news. I feel bad about these kinds of accidents and I really feel sorry for the victims and the family who suffers the loss. I just can imagine the pain and agony that they go through.
We all know that vehicular accidents can happen the least we expect it. It could be because of drunk and abusive drivers who wants to race with anyone on the streets. Not fully aware that the one they are racing with is death and could even bring death to innocent people. It could also be because of the unfinished roads that if not for the lives taken away, the government won't do anything to fix them.
My cousin Richard was once a victim of this vehicular accident. He was on his way to a nearby town when the car he was driving rolled upside-down! Good thing he came out alive on that accident and there were no other vehicles on the road at that time since it was still early in the morning. The cause of the accident? He was driving too fast just for the heck of driving.
Worst is the car he was driving wasn't his own. He was just asked to bring it to the next town and then he wrecked it just like that! The owner was too pissed but since he was a family friend, he wasn't sued. Anyway it was but an accident. The car owner's only consolation was the car insurance and a few settlements done by my cousin's parents.
After getting face to face with death, Richard must have learned from that experience. He should be or else he might have widowed his wife in a young age.


What will happen if I get pulled over for DUI?
Typically, a police officer will pull you over for suspicion of DUI if he sees you weaving, driving erratically, or violating any traffic law. If, after speaking to you, the officer suspects that you are intoxicated, you will be asked if you've been drinking. You are not required to answer this question. The officer will usually then ask you to get out of the car and perform several field sobriety tests (e.g. count backwards, touch your nose, walk the line, etc.). You may refuse to perform the field sobriety tests, but the officer can testify about your refusal at trial. Depending upon your performance on these tests, the officer may then ask you to take a preliminary breath test. You can refuse to take this test and your refusal cannot be admitted as evidence against you at trial. On the other hand, you are entitled to take this test and see the results, if the equipment is available. Even if you do take the test, the results cannot be used as evidence against you.
But if I refuse to take the test, won't my license be automatically suspended?
Your license won't be suspended for refusing to take the preliminary breath test; however, Virginia has an implied consent law regarding post-arrest tests. By driving on a public road or any area open to the public, you are consenting to having samples of your blood or breath (or both) taken if you have been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. For the results of these test to be valid, specific procedures must be followed.
If you refuse to submit to a blood or breath test, the officer will read a statement to you concerning your rights and the consequences of refusing to take the test. Your license will be suspended immediately for 7 days. If a judge decides that your refusal was unreasonable, your license will be suspended for one year. In addition, you can still be found guilty of the DUI charge.
Can I be convicted of DUI if I don't take a blood or breath test?
Yes. You can be convicted of DUI simply on the testimony of a witness (such as a police officer) stating that you were visibly intoxicated while you were operating a motor vehicle. It is enough that the intoxication has affected your manner, disposition, speech, muscular movement, general appearance, or behavior. Common indicators include glassy and bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, loss of balance, stumbling, and staggering.
What if I take the test but my Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is less than 0.08?
You can be convicted of DUI even if your BAC is less than 0.08 if you exhibit signs of intoxication as noted above. There is a rebuttable presumption that you're not intoxicated if your BAC is 0.05 or less. If it's between 0.05 and 0.08, there is no presumption either way.
What if my BAC is over 0.08 but I don't show any signs of intoxication?
You can be still be convicted of DUI simply because you were operating a motor vehicle while your BAC was 0.08 or higher. This is true even though you show no signs of intoxication. This is known as a "per se" DUI.
Can I be convicted of DUI even if I haven't left the parking lot?
What if I didn't drive the car, but just cranked it up so I could turn on the air conditioning?
The vehicle does not have to be moving in any way for a DUI conviction; it is sufficient for a police officer to show that you were "operating" the vehicle.
What is the punishment for a first-offense DUI conviction?
First-offense DUI is a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail, a $2500 fine, and a one-year suspension of your driver's license. The minimum punishment for a simple, first-offense DUI is a $250 fine and a one-year license suspension plus enrollment in an Alcohol Safety Action Program (ASAP) unless the court decides ASAP is inappropriate. A restricted driver's license may be issued for good cause shown, in the discretion of the court.
If the suspect's BAC is at least 0.15 but not over 0.20, there is a mandatory 5-day jail sentence. If the BAC is over 0.20, there is a mandatory 10-day sentence. If the suspect was transporting a person 17 years of age or younger, there is an additional mandatory 5-day sentence and an additional mandatory fine of $500 to $1000. These mandatory jail sentences and fines can't be suspended by the judge.
VASAP is the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program. It is a program designed to make participants aware of the dangers of alcohol abuse. It lasts for 10 to 12 weeks with sessions being held one night each week. Classes are available in Christiansburg and in other locations throughout Virginia. The cost of the Program is $250-$350.
A Restricted Driver's License allows the holder to drive only to certain places such as work, school, and VASAP classes. To get a restricted license, the defendant must submit an application to the court. If you are granted a restricted license, make sure that any additional conditions imposed by the court or the DMV (such as payment of a reinstatement fee) are taken care of; otherwise, the DMV might suspend your restricted license.
Besides the legal penalties, what other consequences will a DUI conviction have?
First, a DUI conviction will affect your auto insurance situation. If you are on your parents' insurance policy, they will probably have to remove you from the policy in order to keep it from being cancelled. If you have your own insurance, you can expect to be placed on a high risk policy and see your rates increase 250%. Second, a DUI conviction will be on your record permanently and might require explanation to prospective employers, graduate programs, or professional organizations.
What will happen if I am convicted of a second DUI offense?
It depends on how long it has been since the previous conviction. Consult an attorney.
What if my driver's license comes from another state?
Virginia can suspend or revoke you privilege to drive in Virginia and there will later be a fee to again be allowed to drive. Almost all states have reciprocity on DUI's so you will suffer the penalties both of the Virginia court and the automatic administrative penalties of your home state.
What should I do if I've been charged with DUI?

Mainstream media opinion begins to coalesce around profoundly sexist, anti-equality nature behind the World Surf League's "heartbreaking" mid-year cut!
Surf controversy!
I must say, the most surprising storyline following the just-finalized World Surf League mid-year cut was the ferocity with which mainstream media reacted. Headlines crowed, from major national capital to major national capital about the "devastating scenes" unspooling on Margaret River's fatal shore, about the "unfairness" and wanton "cruelty" and "depressing." Surprising, I suppose, because none of these publications cared much about professional surfing at the highest level prior to "the cut."
Not knowing what to chalk the passion up to, I filed it under "HMMMM" right next to "Ben Gravy's popularity" until this very morning when the picture began to clarify.
Stumbling upon a new piece by Yahoo! Sport titled Sally Fitzgibbons speaks out amid 'heartbreaking' surf controversy this morning, I first wondered what this "surf controversy" might be until putting my surf journalism hat on (one of Nick Carroll's socks) and diving in.
Sally Fitzgibbons has vowed to fight her way back onto surfing's top tour after falling victim to the World Surf League's controversial new mid-year cut.
Fitzgibbons was one of a number of high-profile casualties of the new system after she was eliminated from the Margaret River Pro in the round of 16.
Only the top 10-ranked women advance to the second half of the Championship Tour, with the other surfers relegated to the Challenger Series and forced to qualify for the top tour again in 2023.
On the men's side, the top 22 advance. Aussies Owen Wright and Morgan Cibilic fell victim to the cut, as did Brazilian young gun Joao Chianca.
And there we have it.
Blatant sexism.
Sneering anti-equality measures blaring from a league that has staked its new reputation on parity.
I was, of course, aware that the women's field was to get cut down too and even heard the number ten bandied about but didn't think much of it until right this minute. Ten surfers competing against each other for the rest of the year to cut it down by a whole five for final's day at Lower Trestles?
That seems utter nonsense. Like trotting longboarders out at Manly and Huntington and telling them it's good. Like Kelly Slater dating a woman for fifteen years and still planning on marrying her "sometime in the future."
Like or dislike the women's side, ten surfers is a dumb amount to then cut to five and if the "equality" push is really pure performance for the World Surf League, it should do the dignified thing and cut the men's side to ten also.
Surf controversy is right.

In shock move, World Surf League longboard commissioner Devon Howard resigns post; speculation runs wild amidst heartbroken community and hawk-eyed pundits as to true reason!
Howard's End.
It is being reported in Log Rap that Devon Howard, the debonaire longer board surfer and commissioner of the all the way longboard World Surf League tour, has shocked the world by resigning his post forthwith, the ostensible reason being that the tour "is in a great place right now" and "the job has been completed."
Now, anyone who is remotely aware of Howard knows that he is an old-school sort beyond the way he rides a surfboard. He prizes hard work, has a solid overall ethic, speaks when necessary, keeps quiet otherwise. It would be unbecoming for him to slander his former employer but also seems odd that he would resign as the new year, with just announced stops at Manly (just days away), Huntington and Malibu, gets underway.
So why?
It is incumbent upon us to wildly speculate.
You will recall, months ago, when the rumor floated that the WSL was going to slash the longboard tour from three events to one. Sitting champion Joel Tudor caught wind and went on a wild tear which ended with the announcement that there would be three events, Manly, Huntington, Malibu and that Tudor would be indefinitely suspended.
Now, if the WSL really had wanted to shred the longboard tour and were embarrassed by it, as evidenced by CEO Erik Logan's dismissive eye-rolling when discussing amongst partners, why didn't it while telling all the longboarders to go kick rocks? Forcing them to surf Manly and Huntington seems far worse punishment.
Might that decision have been made in a strange Santa Monica vacuum featuring the aforementioned Logan and the increasingly dominant Jessi Miley-Dyer then shoved down Howard's throat while he was ordered to spin it as "brilliant" to the longboarding community?
Could more "truths" have been poured down that same throat in order to spew upon his charges?
Howard's resignation becomes even weightier when remembering that World Surf League shortboard commissioner Pat O'Connell took the same route last year, rendering his abdication and quietly taking the lead at the John John Florence fronted Florence x Marine.
The two are, without a shadow of a doubt, surfers' surfers having come up in the old ways. They have been around the game since birth, know all the facets and love beyond what is healthy. For both to ask out of their World Surf League postings is…. suspect.
David Lee Scales and I, in any case, wildly speculate further about Howard's end as well as the to the reasons Kelly Slater is a longtime boyfriend. Listen now.
Pandemonium in Torquay as surf fans turn on WSL CEO Erik Logan and three-time world champ Mick Fanning squares off with former boss during taping of Ain't That Swell, "Shirts off and into the octagon, boys!"
Elo on the offensive against hard-core surf fans and world champ!
It isn't a stretch to describe Ain't That Swell and its hardcore Swellian followers in the same way historians talk of the brave Apache, Aboriginal or Inca; the last remnants of a brave and brutal culture subsumed by something barren and unlovely and feeble and bland.
Colonialists, VALS, ain't no difference.
During the taping of a recent episode at Torquay during the Bells Beach event, part of Ain't That Swell's epic Children of the Corn tour of Australia, Swellians welcomed WSL CEO Erik Logan with a volley of boos.
Show principal, Vaughan Blakey, a dignified and sincere man who don't like hate, tried to hose down the rogue Swellians, "Who's booing? Who was that? Fuck mate! Free contest free tour, fuck!, wake up!"
Following suit, even Mick turned on his former boss, telling Logan he isn't into the mid-tour cut, scissoring the SUP aficionado with "Personally, I wouldn't do it".
The smiling face of Logan, broadly benignant, was in no mood to back down, hosing away Mick's claim that "rookies can't establish themselves" with a stunning retort, "I think Barron (Mamiya) would disagree with that, he seems to be doing fine."
A wildly effective coup de grâce.
Mick, wounded, retreated into a series of "Look, look" etc.
Logan, again, very good on the offensive, "I always come back to the fact, we get to a place where we're focussing on crowning a world champion," he said.
Vaughan hoots, "Shirts off and into the octagon boys!"

Living surf legend Kelly Slater rallies to defense of big wave pal Shane Dorian after he is accused of transphobia on hot-button abortion thread!
A friend in need...
Unless you've been living under a rock, you are well aware that the long-simmering issue of abortion has exploded to the forefront of American polemics. A leak out of the Supreme Court earlier in the week, confirmed to be accurate, has suggested that the justices will abandon Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 ruling that protected abortion as a national right.
Passions have run hot for days with all-comers taking to social media, sharing their important opinions including celebrities and extreme sport announcer Sal Masekela.
The latter posted a simple black square with repeating white words reading "men should not be making laws about women's bodies" adding "It's pretty simple" as his caption.
Support was near universal with public figures and professional surfers weighing in with an assortment of "raise the roof" emojis, 100 emojis and heart emojis.
Big wave surfer and one-time movie star Shane Dorian also lent his backing though with a slight addendum and shaka emoji.
"Agreed! And they shouldn't be allowed to compete against them in sports," referencing the almost equally hot button issue of trans individuals playing games as their chosen gender as opposed whatever nonsense was listed upon a birth certificate.
Condemnation was swift with @evo_robbie_oh telling Dorian it was "cool sliding in your transphobia" and Masekela, himself, declaring "seems a strange comment on an abortion convo brother."
Dorian was quick to attempt clarification, replying, "Yeah I can see that. I wasn't trying to change the subject at all. Women's rights is the topic and what I said is on that topic. My apologies. Also, what I said isn't transphobic at all, what someone chooses to hear when they read it is their trip, and that is totally fine."
Cue living surf legend Kelly Slater. The 11x world champion and current number 13 spared no appeal to comment sense when rallying to his wonderful friend's defense.
"Explain what part of his comment says anything about him being scared of trans people."
Slater, who also happens to be godfather to Dorian's son, continued to have his back, fending off weak jabs here, small parries there, proving himself to be the best sort of pal there is. One who rushes headlong into danger without regard for personal safety.
Bravo and if Dorian and Slater ever choose to revive their acting careers, I would love to see them in a World War II film, together in a fox hole, handsome and brave.
Academy Award material.

Mainstream media continues to decry the World Surf League's "cruel" and "depressing" mid-year cull: "Have grace and mercy completely vanished from this swathe of humanity? If you have tears prepared, shed them now."
"Hey WSL, what is wrong with you guys?"
We surf fans, we watchers of webcasts and listeners to Joe Turpel, have now had a month plus to really sink our teeth into the World Surf League's "mid-year cut." Theoretically, I suppose, we knew it was on the boil some time ago, or at least before Covid, but was shelved until this year though still, I didn't think about it until Bells where the professional surfers, themselves, tried to stage a coup.
It was quashed by Erik Logan's rusty cudgel and on to Margaret River everyone marched, we surf fans, we students in shades of Rabbit Bartholomew, wondered which of our gladiators would live and which would die gruesome public deaths.
And yet, a funny thing happened on the way to the forum.
Mainstream media, for reasons either unknown or related to the new Apple television series "Make or Break," have taken a precious moment to turn eyes away from war in Ukraine, Johnny Depp, Amber Heard to focus on the plight of those professional surfers who died those deaths and/or were sent back to the salt mines of Snapper.
De-leagured as it were.
The Guardian's headline screams, No one really likes it': brutal rule change breaks hearts in World Surf League with Kolohe Andino quoted as saying, "It's just kind of hard the whole cut thing. No one really likes it. We're all friends on tour and we all love each other, so you don't want to knock the guy off tour. It just seems like it's a TV show a little bit, like drama all the time. Watching the women's the other day it was just heartbreaking with the girls that were losing. They were crying all day."
Yahoo! Sports ups the ante by declaring, 'Devastated': Surfing world shattered over 'heartbreaking' scenes with legendary surf photographer Jimmy "Cane" Wilson adding, "Watching Owen Wright's interview and he has a day and a half to make a decision on his career. Is this mid-year cut supposed to be fun and exciting, cause all I feel is sadness?"
Others weigh in too, begging the WSL to stop the cruelty and asking WSL leadership "What's wrong with you guys?"
But who could have guessed the plight of guillotined professional surfers would rank amidst the sufferings of the world and/or Johnny Depp + Amber Heard?
Did the World Surf League overplay its hand here? Will public perception turn sharply against?
Wild times.
Mainstream media opinion begins to coalesce around profoundly sexist, anti-equality nature behind the World Surf League's "heartbreaking" mid-year cut!
Mainstream media continues to decry the World Surf League's "cruel" and "depressing" mid-year cull: "Have grace and mercy completely vanished from this swathe of humanity? If you have tears prepared, shed them now."


The fight between the US Congress and President Donald Trump over funding the construction of a wall on the US-Mexico border has deepened, threatening a partial government shutdown in a standoff that has become increasingly common in Washington.
US lawmakers were scrambling Monday to avert a shutdown, with Republican and Democratic leaders locked in a stalemate over Trump's demands for border wall funding.
Congress used to pass annual appropriation bills, and the president signed them into law. But the shutdown scenario has become routine in recent years, leading Congress and the White House to a crisis over government funding.
The president is insisting on $5 billion for the wall along the southern border with Mexico, but he does not have the votes from the Republican-led Congress to support it.
Democrats are offering to continue funding at current levels, $1.3 billion, not for the wall but for fencing and other border security.
It's unclear how many Republicans in the House of Representatives will even show up mid-week for possible votes. Republicans will relinquish their majority to Democrats in the lower chamber of Congress from January 3.
Republicans say it's up to Trump and Democrats to cut a deal.
PressTV-Trump isolated in battle over shutdownTrump said last week he would be "proud" to have a partial shutdown to get Congress to support funding for his proposed border wall.
Meanwhile more than 800,000 government workers are preparing for a partial shutdown. The dispute could affect nine of 15 Cabinet-level departments and dozens of agencies, including the departments of Homeland Security, Transportation, Interior, Agriculture, State and Justice, as well as national parks and forests.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent stands while keeping watch along the U.S. and Mexico border in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, U.S., on Friday, Feb. 17, 2017. The Trump administration outlined a sweeping crackdown on undocumented immigrants Tuesday, pledging to hire 15,000 more border patrol and immigration agents and to begin building a wall on the Mexican border to enact executive orders signed by the president on Jan. 25.
About half the workers would be forced to continue working without immediate pay. Others would be sent home.
Trump said last week he would be "proud" to have a shutdown to get Congress to approve a $5 billion down payment to fulfill his campaign promise to build a border wall.
During his 2016 election campaign, Trump promised that Mexico would pay for the wall. Mexico has refused.

What we can teach boys about strength
By Meta Sarmiento on May 13, 2019 in News + Updates
Jenice Kim
Let's celebrate boys for their abilities, values and passions, and show them that their character matters more than their height, says rapper and poet Meta Sarmiento.
I was born and raised on the island of Guam. An unincorporated territory of the US, Guam is located in Micronesia. One of the first things I learned in kindergarten was that you couldn't find Guam on a globe without using a magnifying glass. Imagine a half-grown child, standing on shore, staring at the expansive horizon and realizing a single grain of sand is bigger than his home on a map.
Now I'm not that half-grown child anymore. I'm more like a half-grown adult — I'm 5'5" when I got my shoes on.
When you're a tiny kid who grows up in a tiny house on a very small island, you naturally start to feel how big the rest of the world is. In a society that emphasizes the enormity of things, being little can be a huge hurdle. At school, the bigger kids roughed me up because they could.
It began innocently enough — can't get on the roller coaster because I'm too short, can't join my division in football because I'm too light, can't date girls in heels. But, then, life got more complicated — can't defend the people I love, can't speak my mind because I'm too afraid, can't compete with others in my field of work on a global scale.
Everything I learned taught me that size will always be the final measurement of strength. How could little old me ever be strong? I carried that question with me, and at every turn I heard the same answer — a voice saying, "You're too weak." Eventually, that voice started screaming, "You will never be good enough for anyone or anything," and I believed it.
I felt hopelessly weak for a long time until my sister gave birth to Elijah, her first son and my eldest nephew. Everyone in my family says he reminds them of me. He's musically inclined, he loves to read, he's emotionally intelligent — and he's also really small.
So when I started seeing myself in him, I grew worried. I didn't want him to harbor the same self-doubts or feel hopelessly weak, but I knew it was inevitable. I wanted to be that super-awesome uncle who could help him through it all, but how could I do that if I was stuck in the same place?
Eli was my motivation to figure things out. One of the most important things I did was ask myself: "In what other ways am I strong?"
I realized that we need to stop portraying boys' strength in such a limited way. We need to stop focusing on mass alone — the extent of one's strength should not be determined solely by one's size. Why? Because we are so much more than a push or a pull or a fist and a body.
If we can teach young boys at an early age to look beyond their physical attributes and to look inward to reflect on their abilities, their values, their passions and their knowledge, we might have a world full of boys and men who are less obsessed with proving strength through how much space they occupy, control or destroy.
I viewed myself as this tiny kid from this tiny island, when I should have been viewing myself as a young man from Micronesia, a region rich with culture, talent and perseverance.
And I should have seen that right next to Guam is the Marianas Trench, the deepest place on this planet. It's a world so submerged and unexplored that we're only just beginning to understand what's inside of it. I think that's how we should view strength — true strength is defined by the depths of our character and our potential.

Wendy Williams Cuddles With Master P & Romeo On Her Show
Posted by itstheboombap
Tue, July 9, 2019 at 10:04 AM
Since announcing to the world that she was going through a divorce with her husband, Wendy Williams has been thriving with the men out here. She hooked up with a 27-year-old convicted felon after attending Pride Month in Los Angeles and after she got tired of him, she moved onto a doctor in his fifties. She hopes that she can build a new life with her new man. However, other people keep coming in the way. During a recent episode of her show, Master P and his son Romeo were guests when they started talking about love and their current relationships.

Romeo spoke about how everyone he tries to hook up with just wants to get his dad's phone number, to which Master P responded that he's just chilling. Wendy then started to flirt, asking if P is free tonight and it's at that point that the cuddling sesh began. She then turned her attention to Romeo and said that he's also allowed to join. Master P accepted the offer and Romeo seemed even more down than his dad, heading over to her and putting his arm around the talk show host. "You don't have to tell me twice," said Romeo.
Wendy recently admitted that she's head over heels for her doctor boo, who has been identified as 52-year-old doctor Darrin Porcher by Daily Mail. The two are said to have not started a relationship but they're enjoying their time together. Could Wendy be eyeing a switch to either Romeo or Master P?

Rep. Pfeiffer: Oklahoma stops Biden vaccine mandates for health care workers
Oklahoma secured an important victory against President Biden's overreach recently when a federal district court granted an injunction halting the administration's vaccine mandates for health care workers.
Oklahoma Attorney General John O'Connor and 11 other state attorneys general in November challenged the mandates. The court ruled the attempted mandate by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) exceeded its statutory authority and violated multiple federal laws, including the Spending Clause, the Anti-Commandeering Doctrine, and the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Coupled with other court actions, the ruling makes it highly unlikely (but not impossible) for the federal government to meet and enforce its targeted early January compliance deadlines for two of its major vaccine mandates.
The Oklahoma House of Representatives, through the passage of House Bill 1236 last session set up this latest court victory against federal overreach. The bill granted the states' attorney general both the authority and the funding to fight back in cases such as this that are deemed a violation of the state's rights as granted under the Tenth Amendment. The amendment guarantees that powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it are reserved to the states.
This is the second major victory by states against federal vaccine mandates. A prior injunction against the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's attempted vaccine mandate on employers of 100 or more remains in effect while court proceedings continue. A third action, of which Oklahoma is a part, challenging vaccine mandates for federal contractors is pending.
Attorney General O'Connor has developed an employment discrimination form constituents can submit back to him if they believe their vaccination exemption request has been improperly denied by their employer.
In addition to vaccine mandates, HB1236 will allow us to fight other types of federal overreach as well. With the Biden Administration's policies on energy, banking regulations, education, evictions and other areas, I expect we'll be making very good use of this statute.
If I can do anything to help or to get you information, please feel free to reach out to my office at (405) 557-7332 or email me at john.pfeiffer@okhouse.gov.

See How your Body Responds to a Single Can of Coke on this Infographic
August 1, 2015 By Lee Raulin Leave a Comment
An infographic took Twitter by storm earlier this day by depicting how our bodies respond to a can of Coke over the course of one hour.
The graphic was created by The Renegade Pharmacist, a blogger and a former British pharmacist of Indian origins called Niraj Naik.
Mr. Naik dubbed the image "What Happens One Hour after Drinking a Can of Coke" on which he reportedly spend many hours to do the necessary research.
He eventually managed to gather information and make it as accessible as possible to all audiences. You can learn what happens to your body after 10, 20, 40, 45, and 60 minutes following the ingestion of 330 ml of the fizzy drink.
Mr. Naik explained that he drew his inspiration on conducting a private study on the issue from the time he had a full time job as a pharmacist in London. He recalled that back then he was curious to learn what effects high fructose corn syrup had on human body and especially on taking weight.
He was also puzzled by several doctors' reports that revealed overweight patients on low-calorie diets were unsuccessful on their endeavor of trimming down some of the extra pounds.
The blogger wrote on his site that he suspects that many diseases of modern man including diabetes, heart conditions, and obesity are linked to a single substance found in sweetened beverages and processed foods: high fructose corn syrup.
And consuming fructose has other negative effects on the human body especially when drinking it from a can of Coke. For instance after twenty minutes since ingestion the body is affected by an insulin burst that could make it throw up if it weren't for the phosphoric acid. Additionally the added sugar in a single can of Coca-Cola is the equivalent of ten teaspoons of sugar, which is the maximum daily intake anyone should have.
Mr. Naik also found that after twenty minutes the liver starts to convert all that extra sugar into fat. After 40 minutes your body has completely absorbed caffeine so the adenosine receptors are numbed and you feel less sleepy. At this point your blood pressure rises and the liver releases even more sugar into the circulatory system.
After 45 minutes your dopamine levels are so high that the pleasure centers located in your brain are stimulated very much the same they would be from a small dose of heroin.
After an hour, the phosphoric acid starts to erode your deposits of calcium, zinc and magnesium, while the extra sugar forces the body to eliminate even more calcium through urination. Now caffeine kicks in and redirects the calcium and magnesium your body tries to deposit on your bones towards the urinary bladder.

3Com has a lot of experience in business-class hardware, and it shows in the high-end 8750. With its included site survey tool (the best among the products reviewed) and the ability to store and retrieve firmware and configuration files centrally, the 8750 can serve small-business networks quite well out of the box, though it may fall short for larger businesses. Uniquely, the 8750 lacks any power connection, relying instead on Power over Ethernet (PoE), including a PoE injector if your switch does not have PoE capability.
The 8750 does not support external antennas, but we found coverage and performance with the included antennas to be good (but not impressive). On our tests, the 8750 achieved a throughput of 7.6 Mbps at 120 feet in "g"-only mode and showed a throughput of 19.3 Mbps before losing signal after 90 feet in "a/g" mode.
A full range of security options includes WPA in both enterprise and preshared key mode. And the individual AP management interface was one of the better ones we saw in our roundup. In addition we like the built-in discovery program that automatically identifies all 3Com APs on your network. Security-conscious administrators can enable SSL and disable management over a wireless connection—a good idea to prevent parking-lot hackers from getting at your configuration files. For larger networks, 3Com Network Director ($3,495 list) can provide a centralized view into multiple access points.
The tools 3Com includes in the 8750 make it a good fit for midsize businesses deploying dozens of access points. When combined with optional management software, however, the Cisco and Proxim products offer a richer solution better suited to large enterprises. Even so, the 3Com 8750 is still an impressive product at $500 less than the Cisco 1200 Series.
