-- President Obama speaking at a political fundraiser in New York on Monday.
-- The Department of Justice was found to have targeted the nation's largest news service with a massive dragnet to discover reporters' sources.
-- The IRS claim that the targeting of opponents of the president and his policies was limited to low-level staffers in a single field office was revealed to be untrue.
-- President Obama misled reporters in answer to a question about allegations that he and his administration had previously misled them about an attack by Islamist militants on a U.S. diplomatic outpost.
So, not a super start to the week for the embattled chief executive. It's particularly bad because Republicans are rounding up new scandals to keep the Obama administration on the ropes, most notably a Senate effort to probe allegations that Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius has improperly raised money for an outside group pushing Obama's 2010 health law. Raising cash from the same people your agency regulates is a big no-no.
But for the three scandals now dominating Washington, Team Obama has explanations for all of these things, to some degree at least.
For the first two – the targeting of journalists and the harassment of Obama's political opponents – it is that the White House was not involved. Individuals inside the government may have done wrong, but only to the president's benefit, not at his behest.
This is the equivalent of a defendant pleading ignorance when faced with a charge of receiving stolen goods: I didn't know this Rolex was stolen. I just thought it was a good deal.
On these scandals, the president has the opportunity now to demonstrate his surprise and dismay by lowering the boom on subordinates accused of wrongdoing. Obama, who is relying on the IRS to enforce his legacy health insurance law, can start there by purging the agency's leadership and calling for the prosecution of malefactors.
After all, if the IRS knew about this for a year but only told the White House last month, there's plenty of reason for the president to do some housecleaning. One wonders why word of the impending scandal hit the White House Counsel's office in April, but the president says he learned about the targeting of his adversaries only through news reports. But maybe his official lawyer sat on the story. If that's so, he might want to consider some personnel changes there too.
It's a bit trickier on the massive data mining operation conducted on the Associated Press. Department of Justice rules require that subpoenas for reporters be approved by the attorney general, in this case, Obama stalwart and liberal icon Eric Holder.
The one question Obama took at Monday's press conference was from the Associated Press, signaling the centrality of that news agency's role. The AP ain't what it used to be. But it is the last full-spectrum American wire service in business, making it even more important today, despite its diminished capacity.
The AP links the subpoenas to an investigation of how details about a CIA operation in Yemen were leaked to the wire service. But rounding up two months of phone records on 20 lines, including those covering Congress and the AP's lawyers, seems reckless given that the story said to be in question was a little-noticed item about a year-old, foiled terror plot.
Incautious, bullying tactics with the press are not new allegations against the administration. But to this point, it has been about Obama flacks talking trash to reporters or punitive actions against unhelpful outlets. That may be tacky or heavy handed, but it's not the same as using the power of the DOJ to snoop on whom reporters are talking to. This looks very, very bad.
Obama, though, can follow a similar approach here as he can with the IRS scandal. Expressions of shock and dismay followed by a thorough housecleaning, even if in this case it includes his longest serving, top-tier cabinet member.
It is certainly possible that two frequent targets of the president's criticism – small government activists groups and the press – were victims of overzealous subordinates, not an orchestrated White House effort. But to prove that is so, Obama will have to act swiftly and unsparingly to punish those involved.
On Monday's final debacle, though, the president can't clean house. He is the one who misrepresented his past statements about the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya.
The defense here – claiming he previously called the Islamist raid an "act of terrorism" when he never had before –is that it was imprecise wording not willful misleading. Because the president used the word "terror" in a speech the day after the attack, it's not such a big deal, say Democrats, that he rounded up that linguistic fraction to his own benefit.
Denying a cover up effectively means coming clean. The president didn't do that on Monday. Instead he perpetuated one of the central allegations against him and his administration in the Benghazi scandal: That he and others hid the truth for their own political purposes.
Obama must quickly clarify his comments, making clear that he had never before called the attack an "act of terrorism." When accused of a cover up, a politician must stop covering up.
Obama was able to use this kind of semantic fudging before it was revealed that his administration scrubbed public statements about the attack for political purposes. But he can't do that anymore, and he certainly can't make his biggest semantic leap yet.
The president needs to get cracking on all of this. His agenda was already in deep trouble after Senate Democrats rebuffed him on gun control and sequestration. A triple dose of scandal, especially when the best defenses to the charges are that the president was mostly oblivious, will quickly corrode what's left of his second-term clout.

Newspaper headlines: Tories 'plan to cut student loan interest'
By BBC News Staff
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-41216271
Image copyright PA
The Sunday Telegraph reports that Theresa May will attempt to win back young voters lost to Jeremy Corbyn in the general election, by looking at cutting interest rates on student loans and "strong-arming" universities into lowering tuition fees.
It predicts that announcements could follow within weeks - at next month's Conservative party conference and in the autumn Budget.
According to the paper, the Treasury has grown infuriated that, in its view, some students are being "ripped off" by taking courses costing £9,000 a year which offer little in return.
However, some senior Tories are said to have told the Telegraph that the party must not "over-interpret the results of a disastrous campaign" by adopting "hardcore Corbynism".
The Sunday Times describes Tony Blair's call for tough new rules on immigration - in contrast to the open borders he presided over as prime minister - as an "explosive" intervention in the Brexit debate.
In an article for the paper's website, Mr Blair acknowledges that this is a radical departure from his policies in office. But he argues that "back then, the economy was strong, the workers needed" and "the times were different" and voters' concerns now "cannot be ignored".
In an editorial, the Sunday Times calls this a "deathbed repentance" on migration, and a "mea culpa" for the decision of the Labour government to open the door to people from the EU's new eastern European members.
Would Britain have voted for Brexit, it asks, or even held a referendum without the pressures this unleashed? Its conclusion: Tony Blair's conversion has come too late.
The Observer reports that survivors on Caribbean islands shattered by Hurricane Irma are begging the world for food, water, shelter and rescue as they face down armed looters and the prospect of a fresh onslaught from Hurricane Jose.
There is also no let up in the criticism of the UK government's response to Hurricane Irma.
The Sunday Telegraph condemns it as "appallingly slow" and a "dereliction of duty". As well as the Americans, it says, the French and the Dutch have been far more dynamic.
Writing in the Mail, the former attorney general in Anguilla, Rupert Jones, says the British overseas territory has been devastated - and what's been promised so far is a "drop in the ocean".
If Irma had hit the Falklands or Gibraltar, there would have been a national outcry, he complains.

Writing in the Sun on Sunday, the International Development Secretary, Priti Patel, says the critics are "just wrong".
She says the £32 million already pledged will support the humanitarian needs of people left without food, water, shelter and power, while ministers are also looking at how to rebuild islands.
Ms Patel adds that a Royal Navy vessel loaded with aid and military support was deployed ahead of the disaster, and that UK forces are working around the clock in the British Virgin Islands.
The Sunday Express and the Daily Star Sunday both focus on what they call the "miraculous" escape of a British family trapped by Irma in their house of the Caribbean island of Tortola.
At one stage, parents Sasha and Brendan Joyce say they had to lay on top of their two boys, aged four and two, to prevent them being blown away. The bedroom they were in was the only room not destroyed.

The Sunday Times reports that ministers will signal an end to their seven year public sector pay freeze this week.
It says police officers are set to get the first rises - either an across-the-board increase of more than 1% or targeted bonuses for those on the front line.
After the return of Strictly Come Dancing, the Telegraph suggests that the BBC is set to court controversy with some viewers by considering introducing same-sex dancing partners.
It quotes the Church of England vicar, Richard Coles, as revealing that discussions have taken place - though the Corporation is said to have ruled it out for the current series.
The Telegraph speaks of a backlash by LGBT activists against the lesbian comic, Susan Calman, for agreeing to dance with a man.
She says she's "getting it in the neck" only because she's a woman.

For the third year in a row, the seemingly perpetually sickly European economy appears to be heading for a nasty case of déjà vu. A prime witness is the hapless Olli Rehn, formerly in charge of economic and monetary affairs in the outgoing European Commission.
Presiding over Brussels' largely disappointing budgetary consolidation strategy, Rehn has been permanently on the lookout for silver linings in otherwise black clouds. His predictions during the growth drought of better times ahead have regularly been dashed. The bitter truth is that, over the 2009-14 period, starting with the year of the world recession, the euro area will have contracted 0.1% a year on average, compared with growth of 1.5% annually in the US and 0.4% in the UK, outside the now 18-nation currency bloc.
In France, President François Hollande awaits a tide of political and economic challenges upon return from holiday today. In six of the nine quarters since Hollande became president in May 2012, France has registered nil growth or an economic contraction.
French politicians preach confidence for an international audience, despair when speaking to a domestic constituency. Only two weeks after saying in a joint Handelsblatt interview with German counterpart Wolfgang Schäuble that France would meet its budgetary targets, Michel Sapin, the French finance minister, told Le Monde last week that the deficit would be above 4% this year, exceeding the 3.8% target – and that France had no intention to raise taxes to keep to the 3% objective for 2015.
Rehn has left the Commission to join the European parliament. So he was not on hand to comment on last week's latest set of depressing GDP figures. Germany, France and Italy, making up two-thirds of the euro bloc's economy, all failed to show any growth in the second quarter. The only good news was that some of the previously slow-growing countries of the periphery, such as Spain and Portugal, turned in much better performances, with second quarter growth of 0.6%.
In fact, that optimistic picture remains an illusion. The latest statistics illustrate Europe's sensitivity to perturbations beyond its borders, above all the turbulence between Russia and Ukraine. Even when the direct effect – for example, of Russian sanctions and counter-sanctions – remains limited, Europe shows extreme vulnerability to psychological setbacks. All this is paradoxical, given that one of the main objectives of setting up the euro was to increase Europe's self-sufficiency and make it less prone to external shocks.
The petering out of the euro area recovery will have three consequences.
First, it reinforces pressure from France and Italy for Germany to take action through tax cuts and spending measures to boost public and private investment in Germany itself – something the Berlin government is loath to do. Such action would blow off course the German government's balanced budget objectives – and would lower its ability to take the moral high ground in lecturing other EU states over missed budgetary plans.
Second, it delays still further the budgetary consolidation favoured by Germany and the European Commission – where Katainen while Finnish prime minister was an adherent of German chancellor Angela Merkel's hard-line budgetary stance. The International Monetary Fund, along with many foreign economic commentators, has been sniping at Europe's consolidation efforts for several years. So far, the only perceptible impact has been to increase obduracy along the Berlin-Frankfurt-Brussels axis.
Third, and most ominously, the growth setback adds to calls for the European Central Bank (ECB) to bring forward a discussion on full-blown quantitative easing that it hoped to postpone until the New Year. This increases the probability that the Bundesbank might eventually be outvoted by other members of the ECB council over the need to start full-scale purchases of German government bonds, which would anchor 10-year Bund yields semi-permanently below 1%. That would be a sure way of signalling a much-denied development: that Japanese-style deflation has reached the euro area – and of resurrecting still-considerable Franco-German tension about the future of the euro.

Q: Do either of Markov's Principle and the Fan Theorem imply the other? To be concrete: Let's define Markov's Principle as
$$\forall P \subseteq \mathbb N, (\forall n \in \mathbb N, n \in P \vee n \notin P) \to \neg(\forall n \in \mathbb N, n \notin P) \to \exists n \in \mathbb N, n \in P$$
and the Fan Theorem as stated on its nLab page.

A: To show that Markov's principle doesn't imply the fan theorem:
Markov's principle holds in the effective topos. However, the fan theorem is false in the effective topos, using (the complement of) the Kleene tree. These are respectively corollary 3.1.4 and theorem 3.2.25 in Van Oosten, Realizability: An Introduction to its Categorical Side.
To show that the fan theorem doesn't imply Markov's principle:
In sheaves over Cantor space the fan theorem holds, but not Markov's principle. The fan theorem holds in any topos of sheaves over a topological space (theorem 3.2 in Fourman & Hyland, Sheaf Models for Analysis). To show Markov's principle fails, let $\alpha$ be the generic element of Cantor space. Then the truth value of $(\exists n) \;\alpha(n) = 1$ is $2^\mathbb{N} \setminus \{\lambda x.0\}$, but the truth value of $(\forall n) \;\alpha(n) = 0$ is the interior of $\{\lambda x.0\}$, which is empty, and so the truth value of $\neg (\forall n) \;\alpha(n) = 0$ is $2^\mathbb{N}$ and in particular contains the constant function $\lambda x.0$, so the truth value of $\neg (\forall n) \;\alpha(n) = 0 \;\rightarrow\;(\exists n) \;\alpha(n) = 1$ is not all of $2^\mathbb{N}$.

Tidal power brings in more than just jobs and electricity
Ralf Martin
Energy, Innovation
The recently cancelled Swansea tidal lagoon had the potential to drive innovation in far more sectors of the UK's economy than just construction and power generation
The UK Government recently cancelled the planned Swansea tidal lagoon project. The £1.3 billion energy development would have seen the construction of a first-of-its-kind artificial lagoon, capable of harvesting electricity from the natural rise and fall of the tides.
A 2016 report by former energy minister Charles Hendry concluded tidal lagoons could play "a cost-effective role in the UK's energy mix", and the Swansea project would provide a much needed boost to the Welsh economy. Despite this, policymakers were concerned the lagoon would not provide a sufficient return on investment to make it worthwhile. But beyond the project's obvious financial returns, its construction would have had the potential to create knowledge spillovers that could have driven innovation across the UK's entire economy.
By their very nature, innovative projects lead to the development of new designs, tools and thinking, which can then go on to drive innovation in disparate fields. The solutions to problems that might have arisen during the Swansea tidal lagoon's construction and operation could have inspired people in different industries, encouraging broader economic activity, which in turn would have contributed to higher economic growth.
Clean patents receive 43 per cent more citations than their dirty counterparts
Major scientific and engineering endeavours have a history of prompting innovation in seemingly disconnected industries. For the Apollo missions, NASA contracted Black & Decker to design a small, wireless drill that could extract core samples from the Moon. The company developed a computer programme to optimise the design and energy consumption of its motors to fit NASA's specifications, and later used the same techniques to develop the portable handheld vacuum known as the Dustbuster. Single-crystal silicon solar cells, memory foam and "space blankets" are just a few more inventions that can be traced back to NASA in some way. The connection is not always obvious, but space exploration has improved our lives in many ways.
Knowledge spillovers
My research has looked at ways to measure knowledge spillover across industries and understand its reach, which is done by examining patent databases from all over the world to track citations. By doing this, it's possible to see what inventions went on to inspire new innovations in different fields, and what those inventions then went on to inspire themselves.
Marine energy projects have already gone on to excite inventors in completely separate industries. A good example is a US patent filed in 1981 that details a system to turn wave motion into electrical energy. Many years later, the patent was cited as an inspiration for an audio encoding technique, with the mathematics used to understand ocean waves also applicable to sound waves.
By their very nature, innovative projects lead to the development of new designs, tools and thinking
Providing support to construct tidal and other marine power plants would have likely lead to further innovations in this area, which could then have lead to similar spillover effects. According to research I published in 2014 with my colleagues Antoine Dechezleprêtre from the London School of Economics and Myra Mohnen from the University of Essex, clean patents receive 43 per cent more citations than their dirty counterparts. The gap is even larger when limited to the electricity production sector, with clean patents receiving 49 per cent more citations than patents on technology related to internal combustion engines and coal power plants. Interestingly, the gap between clean and dirty technologies has been constantly increasing over the past 50 years.
Keeping it domestic
While knowledge spillovers are desirable, they create what economists call a market failure: the private companies providing the research and development for the original innovation will not benefit from the spillovers. Hence, private companies will invest a lower amount in such R&D activities than would be socially optimal. This provides a strong case for a government to step in and provide support; in particular to areas that generate more spillovers than others. However, from a national point of view, governments also need to take into account if spillovers will primarily benefit other domestic companies or inventors further afield.
We have developed a new methodology to do this while also taking into account indirect spillovers by building on methodology developed by Google to rank websites. For example, a UK innovation might initially lead to spillover benefits to an inventor in the US, who then inspires further innovation in Brazil followed by innovation in India. Only after several innovation steps might some spillover benefit arrive back to another innovator in the UK.
Marine energy technologies such as the Swansea tidal lagoon generate on average the second highest amount of knowledge spillover in the UK
Based on this new methodology, we find that marine energy technologies such as the Swansea tidal lagoon generate on average the second highest amount of knowledge spillover in the UK; only efficient aviation technologies generate more on average. We are planning to publish more detailed findings on this later in the year.
The evidence so far indicates the Swansea tidal lagoon project had the potential to benefit the UK's economy in Wales and beyond – exactly the kind of project a government looking to stimulate broader economic activity should invest in.
Sir Issac Newton famously quipped: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Based on our research, we might conclude every country has different giants – and in the UK some of those giants are power plants in the Bristol Channel.

Q: PHP 5.3 DateTime for recurring events I have a calendar application which utilizes the newer PHP DateTime classes. I have a way that I handle recurring events, but it seems hack-ish and I wanted to see if you guys have better ideas:

*

*I have a recurring event that starts 11/16/2009 (Nov 16, 2009)

*It will occur every 3 days

*The event will recur indefinitely

Let's say the user looks at the calendar for Dec, 3100 - this event should show there repeating every 3 days like normal. The question is - how do I calculate those days in that month?
=========================================
This is how I basically do it, but I know I'm missing something easier:

*

*I calculate the difference in days between the start of the month being looked at (Dec 1, 3100) and the event start date (Nov 16, 2009) stored as $daysDiff

*I subtract the modulus, so that I get a factor of 3 days from the start like this: $daysDiff - ($daysDiff % 3)

*For the sake of argument lets say that gives me Nov 29, 3100 as a date.

*I then add 3 days to that date repeatedly until I have all the dates within Dec 3100

My main problem comes with step 1.  The PHP DateInterval::date_diff function does not calculate differences in days. It will give me years, months, and days.  I then have to fudge the numbers to get an estimate date around Dec, 3100.
11/16/2009 + (1090 years * 365.25 days) + (9 months * 30.5 days) + 15 days
When you go REAL far into the future like the year 9999, this estimation can be off by a month, then I have to subtract a lot of 3 day intervals to get where I need.

A: This can be done nicely using a DatePeriod as an Iterator and then filterd to the start date you want to display:
<?php
class DateFilterIterator extends FilterIterator {
    private $starttime;
    public function __construct(Traversable $inner, DateTime $start) {
        parent::__construct(new IteratorIterator($inner));
        $this->starttime = $start->getTimestamp();
    }
    public function accept() {
        return ($this->starttime < $this->current()->getTimestamp());
    }
}

$db = new DateTime( '2009-11-16' );
$de = new DateTime( '2020-12-31 23:59:59' );
$di = DateInterval::createFromDateString( '+3 days' );
$df = new DateFilterIterator(
    new DatePeriod( $db, $di, $de ),
    new DateTime( '2009-12-01') );

foreach ( $df as $dt )
{
    echo $dt->format( "l Y-m-d H:i:s\n" );
}
?>

A: You could format your date as a unix timestamp then use modular division to find the first instance in the selected month, then step in increments of 3 days from there.  So for your example:
$startDate = new DateTime(20091116);
$startTimestamp = $startDate->format('u');
$recursEvery = 259200; // 60*60*24*3 = seconds in 3 days

// find the first occurrence in the selected month (September)
$calendarDate = new DateTime(31000901); // init to Sept 1, 3100
while (0 != (($calendarDate->format('u') - $startTimestamp) % $recursEvery)) {
    $calendarDate->modify('+1 day');
}

$effectiveDates = array();
while ($calendarDate->format('m') == 9) {
    $effectiveDates[] = clone $calendarDate;
    $calendarDate->modify('+3 day');
}

//$effectiveDates is an array of every date the event occurs in September, 3100.

Obviously, you've got a few variables to swap out so the user can select any month, but that should be the basic algorithm.  Also, ensure your DateTimes are the correct date, but with the time set as 00:00:00, or else the first while loop will never resolve.  This also assumes you've ensured the selected date is later than the beginning date of the event.

Ayurvedic Urea is another formula I found on the internet that claims to make people grow taller.
Growth is usually a gradual process and the fact that everybody cannot grow to the same height makes it dependent on various factors (genetic, gender, environmental, nutrition, and some medically related factors).
Often times, several height increase formulations have been marketed on the internet most of which claims to achieve an increase in height within a few weeks of usage.
I usually ask, how do they tend to achieve such significant growth spurt? Will they by-pass the gradual growth process?
In line with the context of this review, Ayurvedic Urea formula for growth seems it has details that certify its safety and efficacy. Who knows?
Let us go through, then review to find out because its some extremely expensive pills!
Ayurvedic Urea is marketed as a dietary supplement that when consumed help one grow taller.
This formula, according to the information found in retail websites where the formula was seen, originates from Nepal and Africa and is often regulated by the government.
In the course of my investigation about this height increase formula, I discovered that it is found everywhere on the internet marketed by different vendors and most of them use it to scam desperate folks who want to achieve an increase in height.
According to the product's description, result from Ayurvedic Urea when consumed varies from one individual to another and most at times depends on one's age and diet.
A supportive fact on this, as seen in one of the product's retail website, is that the consumption of diet specific to one's body type will increase the absorption of this product (Ayurvedic Urea).
How do we determine our body type and the diet specific to it?
Though a retail website talking about the Ayurvedic Urea devised a means to this by inviting a doctor to talk with if we wish, more is needed from the side of the product distributor's/vendors/owners as we want to see an official website where compelling details about this is described.
Ayurvedic Urea promotes to cause no long-term negative effects. Fatigue is usually seen in consumers of the product according to the information seen.
Fromm reviews discovered in various websites about this formula, users mostly complain of inability to sleep. I think the formula has a profound effect on the CNS; the reason why it is regulated.
Get more details as you read through the review.
These are the few ingredients with which Ayurvedic Urea promotes to achieve an increase in height.
The fact that these pills are regulated yet marketed as a dietary supplement is questionable.
According to information obtained, how tall one would want to grow will determine the duration and the dosage of Ayurvedic Urea formula to take.
However, the monthly supplies are categorized considering the height one wants to achieve. .
How Does Ayurvedic Urea Work?
Generally, pills/program which claims to increase our height usually has an effect on the secretion of the human growth hormone (HGH) or on the organ responsible for its production and regulation, which is the pituitary gland.
On the other hand, an individual's age determines the extent of growth. It is known that people within the age of 16 to 25 are the fastest as regards gaining of height.
Ayurvedic Urea, according to details obtained, will achieve a better result in people within this age range.
Description about this formula in several retail website shares that it elicit effect by stimulating the production of the HGH from the pituitary gland.
That is, when we take Ayurvedic Urea pills, there will more secretion of this hormone, leading to a profound increase in height.
Who Can Use Ayurvedic Urea?
Obviously, Ayurvedic Urea is for folks who are short and want to gain more height or for those who wish to add more inches to their height.
The product description shows that we can grow as tall as 8 to 10 inches more depending on the duration within, which we used the product (up to a 20-month course).
Yet, it would be extremely expensive and cost thousands of money!
Information obtained reveals that Ayurvedic Urea can be used by individuals who are between the ages of 16 years to 35 years as it tends to be more effective in this age group.
Generally, from the age of 25 to 35, the pituitary gland is almost inactive; hence a loading period of Ayurvedic Urea is required for a significant height gain compared to people between the ages of 16 to 25 years (the fast height gainers).
No money back guarantee statement or anything about a refund was found.
Also, nothing about clinical approval or scientific data found. Users complain of severe insomnia (inability to sleep) and fatigue, from the powerful effects.
Under normal condition, this kind of product should have some guarantee, especially the issuance of refunds to unsatisfied customer users.
Nothing like this was seen even with the high price of the product.
In one of the retail website where Ayurvedic Urea can be obtained, a section on the website exists where the confusion and usually asked questions by customers were answered.
Videos and pictures of testimonials about the product do add to its credibility. The formula states to be safe and effective for height gain.
The distributors or vendors can be contacted by mailing only.
Having gone through the details about the Ayurvedic Urea, we could observe that it claims many benefits as regards to increasing in height. The information gathered so far will determine the fate of this formula as to whether we should resort to it or not.
At first, benefits and safety are promised from using Ayurvedic Urea without any strong evidence to back up these claims. The fact that it is a regulated formulation is even a more reason why we need to see clinical and/or scientific studies behind it.
Yet, nothing found from studies or data, or no proof that these pills are really safe for us as users.
On the other hand, it claims to show results within the first week of pill commencement, but actually, I did find before and after pictures from a former user of the Ayurvedic Urea pills.
However, we as users need to be very careful where to get this stuff, especially how there are a few places out there selling fake Ayurvedic Urea pills.
Now if you want something much more natural and actually effective as well, I would head out to the Growth Factor Plus pills because not only it's much cheaper than the Ayurvedic Urea pills, we can still get results in height growth.
No, it's not as strong as the Ayurvedic Urea REAL pills but it is effective and safe. If you want to find out more about the before and after results from previous users, click here to see my review for the Growth Factor Plus.
Don't leave yet, feel completely free to leave me some comments below or how has this review helped you? I would love to hear from you!
Ayurvedic Urea Ayurvedic Urea Proof Ayurvedic Urea Review Ayurvedic Urea Scam Does Ayurvedic Urea Really Work?
Correct, real Ayurvedic Urea is very expensive! But I always remember, we get for what we pay.
Now for cheaper and get effective results as well in a safe way, I would check out either the Super Growth height growth spray or the Growth Factor Plus pills. They both have been proven by users results to be effective when using it overtime, along with some natural procedures.
Hi deus if I buy Ayurvedic powder or Ayurvedic root eat on eBay or amazon would it be the same as Ayurvedic Urea ?
Well to be really honest with you, I would be very caution with going that road because there a lot of fake, false claiming products out there, especially the Ayurvedic Urea one. The real ones are extremely expensive and these are who might work to increase your height there.
I personally would rather go for something much cheaper and proven to be effective.
Really? Wow, that's good to hear. Thanks for taking your time and sharing, as it will help several folks out there.
Hi Mark. That is a lot of money. Did you buy for 4 inch? How did that go mate?
please give your views about a product called "peak height" from A&N PERFORMANCE LAB LLC (US).
I didn't see any mention about this product.
Sure, I have a full complete review of all information we all need to know and also I am sharing my own personal experience with such product, which you can check it out by clicking here at my honest review.
Wow really? Thanks for letting myself and everyone else know.

Due West - Discography (2006 -2013)

Amigo45
Due West is an American country music group composed of Matt Lopez, Tim Gates, and Brad Hull. Due West was founded in Nashville, Tennessee in 2004, and was almost signed to a contract with RCA Records Nashville in 2006, but lost the deal due to the merger of Sony Music and BMG. By 2009, the band self-released its debut single "I Get That All the Time," which was also made into a music video, which has aired on Great American Country. In 2011 their second single, "When the Smoke Clears," was released as a music video, Roman White was the producer. Both "I Get That All the Time" and "When the Smoke Clears" made it into Great American Country's top 20. The trio also released a self-titled album on April 27, 2010. A second album, Forget the Miles, followed in 2011.
After parting ways with their label in 2013, they headed to popular crowd sourcing platform Kickstarter to raise funds to record and release a new album independently. They raised more than 150% of their goal (over $30,000). They entered the studio, this time with a new producer, Brandon Metcalf, who was previously a Seattle-based rock producer and new to Nashville, to create what they have said are the "best songs we've ever recorded." Together, they crafted the Move Like That ep, which is their highest charting album to date. The title track was co-penned by hit songwriter Jimmy Robbins. The lead off single, Slide on Over, was written by Erin Enderlin, Dylan Scott, and Will Bowen.
Due West entered the studio with Metcalf again in August of 2013 to record a forthcoming Christmas album, to be released on November 26th, 2013.

The Pettus Baronetcy of Rackheath in Norfolk, England, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 23 September in 1641 for Thomas Pettus, the High Sheriff of Norfolk. The sixth Baronet was the High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1746. The title became extinct on his death in 1772.

There are discrepancies in the lineage of the baronetcy due to source documents disagreeing with details in various published accounts. The most notable is the confusion of two related individuals, both called "Sir John Pettus" by ancient chroniclers.

The family played a role in trade and exploration including the settlement of the New World, by founding the East India Company, and by other commercial and military achievements. The family also suffered in the Royal Cause under King Charles I, supporting him with arms, money and military action.

The family is said to have descended from Simon Le Petit, a merchant of Norwich, where he is mentioned on the Patent Rolls:

"1227 A.D. De Licencia per Lewelinum (sic). –Simon le Petit, Mercator L. principis Norwallic, habet licenciam veniendi in Angliam et morandi et redeundi cum vinis et mercandisis suis, faciendo inde rectas et debitas consuetudines. Et durabit usque ad festum Sancti Michaelis anno etc. xj. Test ut supra.".

Translation: "1227 A.D. Licensed by Lewelinum (sic). - The high Norwallic merchant prince Simon le Petit has left to come to England and has brought with him wines and merchandise. He will stay until the feast of St. Michael next year."

The family seat was Rackheath Hall, Rackheath, Norfolk.

Pettus Baronets of Rackheath Hall, Norfolk (1641–1772)

Sir Thomas Pettus, 1st Baronet
Sir Thomas Pettus, son to Sir Augustine Pettus (16 July 1582 - 9 July 1613) was the first of the Baronets. He firstly married Elizabeth Knyvett, daughter to Sir Thomas Knyvett of Ashwellthorpe, and secondly, the daughter to and coheiress of Sir Nathaniel Bacon of Stiffkey. Sir Thomas Pettus accompanied King Charles I on his expedition in 1640 into Scotland and Northumberland and may have been granted his Baronetcy as a result. He served as a captain under Colonel Jerom Brett and Lieutenant Colonel Sir Vivian Molineaux. His monument can be found in the St Simon and St Jude's Church, Norwich in Norwich.

Sir Thomas Pettus, 2nd Baronet
Son to Sir Thomas Pettus, 1st Baronet, and Lady Elizabeth Knyvett. The birth-date of Thomas Pettus is unknown. He died on 30 October 1671 at Rackheath, Norfolk, and was buried on 4 November the same year. He married Elizabeth Overbury in 1656, daughter to Walter Overbury, Esq. of Barton-on-the-Heath, Warwickshire, and his wife Magdalen Marsham.

Sir John Pettus, 3rd Baronet
Son to Sir Thomas Pettus, 2nd Baronet, and Lady Elizabeth Overbury. He was born in 1645, and on 27 May 1670 married at Chiselton, Essex, Mary Burwell (cc.1650 - 1672), daughter to Nicholas Burwell, Esq. of Gray's Inn. His date of death is unknown.

Sir Horatio Pettus, 4th Baronet
Son to Sir John Pettus, 3rd Baronet and Lady Mary (1672-1731). He married Elizabeth Meers in 1701 at St Giles in the Fields, Middlesex.

Sir John Pettus, 5th Baronet
Son to Sir Horatio Pettus, 4th Baronet and Lady Elizabeth Meers. He was born on 27 December 1705 at Rackheath, Norfolk. He died on 2 May 1743 at Rackheath.

Sir Horatio Pettus, 6th Baronet
Second surviving son to Sir Horatio Pettus, 5th Baronet and Lady Elizabeth (1707 - 1772). He married Rebecca Prideaux on 31 December 1744 at the Church of Saint John the Baptist, Maddermarket, Norwich. He was appointed High Sheriff of Norfolk for 1746–47.

To many, it was a disturbing notion: why was Starbucks taking so long to bring its wildly successful mobile app to its fastest-growing market, India? Almost every day that went by made people only wonder more just what was going on. New word says that it's finally landing, though, and bringing with it many of the same features that made the original great.
Not only does it incorporate the mobile payments feature that was widely enjoyed in much of the rest of the world, but users can also enjoy the "Stars" system, Starbucks' rewards program, every time they make a purchase. Users will have access to redeeming offers as well as store locator options, along with both the Scan to Pay and Shake to Pay options.
Sadly, users won't be able to feed their Starbucks wallet from a mobile wallet, rather only from banks, at least for the time being. Essentially, as noted by Tata Starbucks CEO Sumitro Ghosh—Starbucks' Indian operations are actually part of a joint venture with Tata Global Beverages—the Starbucks app is effectively a mobile wallet, and as such, is being treated like one. That's an odd distinction to make, but one that's within their prerogative to make.

What made the Trainspotting soundtrack CD a standout was not just the great taste of the selectors but the way the music told a story and illumininated a subtext of the film, tracing the history of hip British pop tastes since the mid-70s - from pre-punk (Iggy Pop, Brian Eno, et al) to rave culture (Underworld).
A Life Less Ordinary, the follow up from the team of director Danny Boyle, writer John Hodge and producer Andrew MacDonald, is a contemporary fantasy, but you don't have to agree with the complete rubbishing the film has received at the hands of US critics to find its songs - by a fashionable selection of pop and rock acts including Luscious Jackson, Sneaker Pimps, the Prodigy and the Cardigans - to be shorn of fantastical qualities.
It's especially disappointing is to hear acts such as Beck and Underworld represented with work far below their best - the former's "Deadweight" is, well, lightweight, while the latter's "Oh" , though listenable enough, comes nowhere to the urban tribal fission that made their Trainspotting contribution, "Born Slippy", such a brilliant anthem. And though Bobby Darin's swing-era Beyond the Sea works well in the film, it makes little sense in the context of the album. It also raises the thought that the inclusion of a cheesy old showbiz tune or two on the soundtrack is in danger of becoming just a little obligatory - something of a postmodern moviemaking cliche (the Al Jolson at the climax of Richard Loncraine's Richard III immediately springs to mind).


The EU's General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, will set new benchmarks for consumer data privacy and, among other things, present a fantastic opportunity for U.S. companies to gain a hefty competitive advantage.
If you're an avid follower of the global news scene, then you're likely aware of the growing conversation around the GDPR, or the General Data Protection Regulation, that looks to bring a paradigm shift in the world of European (and world) data security. The digital market has been moving quickly for a long time now, and security has always been the major concern when it comes to user data. To regulate data collection and security of the personal information of European Union citizens, the idea of GDPR was floated and, after several years of fine-tuning, has now officially been signed into law. GDPR will be enforced beginning May 2018 (mark your calendars!).
The GDPR will bring about some serious changes in data privacy and will affect anyone who is present in the EU, along with any company that handles the data of EU consumers, which would include companies across the world, including the U.S. The objective is to give control back to the people and to ensure that everyone has the right to consent to the use of data, to be forgotten, and to limit the use of data and seek damages (in case a data breach or misuse occurs).
It's natural to think, "Okay, multinationals that carry out business within the EU have some things to sort out, but I don't have any business in any of the 28 EU member nations, so I don't have to worry about anything, right?"
Well, no. If your company has an online presence, a website that can be accessed by any person in the world (which you more than likely do), then you need to be very aware of what's going on with GDPR.
I would tell you not to start worrying immediately, but you should be knowledgeable on the subject so you can prepare yourself and your business. Gartner predicts that almost 50 percent of U.S. businesses will not be able to comply with GDPR in time, so it's vital that you get your thinking hats on.
How exactly will U.S. companies be affected?
I know what's going through your mind right now: You want to know exactly how GDPR can and will affect your business, and what you need to do to prepare. While every business, industry, and market is different and a complete guide to GDPR for your company would be impossible to provide without knowing more about your situation, it is possible to give a bird's-eye view of GDPR's impact on U.S. business as a whole, and what organizations stateside need to understand in general.
GDPR stresses consent above all else. In fact, that's really the entire point. While obtaining data, consent needs to be explicit, crystal clear and corroborative. According to Article 4 of GDPR, consent is defined as: "Any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of his or her wishes by which the data subject, either by statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to personal data relating to them being processed."
In addition, while dealing with data of children under 16, parental consent is necessary. Moreover, citizens of the EU can have their personal data erased if the company doesn't require it for the initial purpose of collection anymore.
If a data breach occurs, the supervisory authority needs to be informed within 72 hours of the happening. If the privacy of any EU citizens is at risk, they need to be notified as well. Starting this May, you'll need to be vigilant and acutely aware of any actual or potential data breaches that may impact customers or individuals located in the EU.
Pursuant to Article 17 of GDPR, every individual reserves the right to ask for the deletion of their personal data in situations when the data is no longer required: " ... in relation to the purposes for which it was initially collected or otherwise processed."
With this in mind, be prepared for any customers you might have in the EU to request that you remove any information you have stored pertaining to them.
GDPR will set new benchmarks for consumer data privacy and, among other things, present a fantastic opportunity for U.S. companies to gain a hefty competitive advantage by achieving compliance as soon as possible.
Customers like to be associated with companies that care about them and take their privacy and security seriously. What better way to make them feel cared for than by prioritizing their privacy interests over everything else?
As soon as GDPR becomes common knowledge, customers will be bound to prefer GDPR-compliant companies over the rest, which is why you can't let your competition get a vital headstart. Otherwise, you're vulnerable to GDPR-compliance legal headaches down the road.
Embrace GDPR; it's good news for customers, and, if you take the proper steps to prepare and comply, it can provide an opportunity for growing your business as well!

Cybercriminals raking in over $3bn a year from social media crime
The ready availability of hacking tools and services, wildfire spread of malware and proliferation of cryptomining has seen social media-enabled cybercrimes grow by more than 300-fold in recent years.
These findings come from Dr. Mike McGuire, a Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Surrey, who has undertaken an extensive six-month academic study, commissioned by Bromium, to publish Social Media Platforms and the Cybercrime Economy.
The study, which forms the next instalment of his Into the Web of Profit body of research, examines the role of social media platforms in the cybercrime economy.
Key insights include:
Social media-enabled cybercrimes are generating at least $3.25b in global revenue annually
One in five organisations have been infected with malware distributed via social media
Reports of cybercrime involving social media grew by more than 300-fold between 2015 and 2017 in the US, and social media-enabled crime quadrupled between 2013 and 2018 in the UK
Over 1.3 billion social media users have had their data compromised within the last five years and between 45-50% of the illicit trading of data from 2017 to 2018 could be associated with breaches of social media platforms
Four of the top five global websites hosting cryptomining code are social media platforms
The number of enterprises infected by cryptomining malware doubled from 2017 to 2018
Social media platforms contain up to 20 percent more methods by which malware can be delivered to users – e.g. through adverts, shares, plug-ins – than comparable sources, such as ecommerce, digital media or corporate websites
Social media has fueled a 36 percent increase in the recruitment of 'millennial money mules' since 2016 and has increased fraud revenues by 60 percent since 2017
Cryptomining is an emerging online threat that takes over web browsers on a computer or mobile device, to launch malicious attacks and "mine" forms of online money while remaining completely hidden to the user.
Since 2017 the amount of cryptomining malware being detected globally rose from 400 to 600 percent, the vast majority of which was found on social media platforms.
Of the top 20 global websites that host cryptomining malware, 11 are social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook. Apps, adverts and links have been the primary delivery mechanism for cryptomining software on social platforms, earning $250m per year for cybercriminals.
Dr. Mike McGuire said: "Facebook Messenger has been instrumental in spreading cryptomining strains like Digmine. Another example we found was on YouTube, where users who clicked on adverts were unwittingly enabling cryptomining malware to execute on their devices.
"While adverts on Facebook or Instagram may look like they're promoting Ray-Ban sunglasses or Nike shoes, they're often more sinister and deliver malware once clicked. Cybercriminals have been quick to see how the social nature of such platforms can be used to spread malware, embedding it into posts or friends' updates and using photo tag notifications to persuade users to open infected attachments.
"Another trend on social media has been the hijacking of trustworthy verified accounts. In one case, hackers took over the Twitter account for UK retailer Matalan and changed it to resemble Elon Musk's profile. Tweets were then sent out asking for a small bitcoin donation with the promise of a reward. Safe to say, nobody who donated got anything in return."
Social media platforms are also hosting a thriving criminal ecosystem for more traditional crime. They serve as a recruitment centre for money mules used for laundering, with posts or adverts offering opportunities to earn large amounts of money in a short time. Data from UK banks suggests there might be as many as 8,500 money mule accounts in the UK owned by individuals under the age of 21, and most of this recruitment is conducted via social media.
"Around 0.2 percent of social media posts examined for this report involved financial fraud, helping to generate $290m in revenue per year," concluded Dr. McGuire. "Criminals have been quick to understand how to exploit social media to facilitate more traditional crime, whether it's a vehicle to sell something or research potential victims – for instance, online dating scams generate $138m per year and often rely on using social media pages to trick people."

New report reveals cybercriminal spending behaviours


Has it really been 11 days? I guess time flies when you're a disembodied consciousness. Allow us to explain...The day was September 13. We were holding a little soiree at the HQ to kommemorate six years of The Kreation Korner. Things were going smoothly, until Huey Dood, the bumbling buffoon he is, spilled a tankard of mudslide onto APEKS, our hitherto dormant sentient supercomputer. Something about the collision of the syrupy beverage and beige plastic outer casing sprung the infernal machine back to life, saturating the room in a burst of blinding light and energy. What happened at this point can only be described as indescribable. Our best guess is that APEKS' electromagnetic field somehow unmoored our minds from their corporeal fetters and transmitted them into The Cloud--that mysterious cyber omnipresence we've heard discussed lately in hushed tones. For what felt like only 94 seconds, our beings were as one, unencumbered by the crude flesh. We were instantaneously aware of all that has been, is and will be known. With this boundless knowledge came boundless language for boundless opportunities to imagine existence, we think. Unfortunately, any specific recollections of our shared non-physical digital odyssey slipped away as soon as we awoke achey, odorous and strewn about the floor. We can't explain how we were granted access to The Cloud or how our bodies were sustained for a week and half. We can say, however, that we have gained a renewed acceptance that the plane we inhabit is but a speck of lobster in the vast and creamy cosmic bisque. But as small as it is, it's succulent none the less and we're damn proud to live and kreate in it.


The event is free for all, but the available seats are limited and registration is required! Please do not forget to order your lunch or bring your own.
The FOSS4G BELGIUM 2016 conference has also been accredited by the Federal Council of Surveyors and can give up to 5 hours of permament training, depending on the effective attendance time.
If you want to receive a certificate, please select the "géomètre - landmeter" ticket. The organisers will then take contact with you afterwards to undertake the formalities.


Nice tto meet you, I am Deedee. It's not a common thing but wwhat I like performing is base jumping and now I have time to take on new things.
Wyoming iis where he's usually been residing. Her daay occupation is a messenger.
