All Smartspace systems come with a built in customer registration database.
This database can be accessed by logging in (using either the small S tab on websites or the login panel whcih will be visible on community sites) then going to Database Manager from the access menu or by clicking one the S tab on websites and using the link contained there.
Currently, the database is used with mainly with two different purposes in mind.
Business customer and contact details and subscription lists.
New registration as part of a product sale, hire or booking.
In all cases, whether or not the record has been created as part of another process, a stand alone registration record is created.
In many cases, a check is done to see if a registrant is already in the system. There should only ever be one record per person in the entire Smartspace system.
This record is a permanent or persistent record which then may be attached to a range of other associated records.
This record can be accessed by different clubs and/or businesses with the permission of the user themselves or when an administrator in a network is requested to provide access by a network member. EG when a person transfers from one club to another.
They become available to different clubs/businesses by the use of a participant/customer record for each entity.
No changes are made to the records themselves when deactivated, except the Inactive flag prevents the record from being selectable from any working list in the system.
Because people can and do appear in multiple club and state or business databases, some may want someone active in their database (irrespective of Membership status) and others not.
When using Custom Dates, you should also tick the Ignore those with newer membership records box - important!

Biden & Harris WIN!
By Barrington M. Salmon, Trice Edney News / November 12, 2020
With the highest number of votes in American history and surpassing the 270 Electoral College threshold, former Vice-President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. will become the 46th President of the United States of America. Kamala Devi Harris will be the first female Vice-President. In celebration of victory, the new First Families: L-R, Doug Emhoff (husband of Kamala Harris), Vice-President elect Kamala Harris, President-elect Joe Biden and Jill Biden.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – After four years of feeling under siege from a racially hostile White House and after a week spent awaiting the results of a nail-biter election, supporters of former Vice President Joe Biden finally exhaled when it became clear that President Donald Trump was booted from office.
Black America and the rest of the country learned shortly after noon on Saturday, Nov 7 that former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris would be America's next president and vice president of the United States. Biden's home state of Pennsylvania provided the final push that lifted the Biden-Harris ticket past the vaunted 270 electoral votes. Harris, a Howard University graduate, is the first woman and the first of Black and Asian descent to be elected vice president.
President-Elect Biden was quick to give the Black vote the credit it deserved. During his acceptance speech Saturday night, he acknowledged the importance of the Black vote, telling his audience that he wouldn't have won the Democratic primary or the hard-fought contest without the overwhelming support of Black voters.
"To my campaign team, and all the volunteers, to all those who gave so much of themselves to make this moment possible, I owe you everything," Biden said. "And to all those who supported us: I am proud of the campaign we built and ran. I am proud of the coalition we put together, the broadest and most diverse in history. Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Progressives, moderates and conservatives. Young and old. Urban, suburban and rural. Gay, straight, transgender. White. Latino. Asian. Native American."
He then added, "And especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest — the African American community stood up again for me. They always have my back, and I'll have yours."
A full-throated endorsement by Rep. Jim Clyburn just before the South Carolina primary brought the faltering Biden campaign back to life and 61 percent of Black South Carolinians checked Biden's box. In the presidential contest, at least 89 percent of African Americans voted for the Biden-Harris ticket, according to the American Election Eve exit Poll by Latino Decisions. That same poll found that 56 percent of Whites voted for Trump, a number reconfirmed by CNN exit polls, which calculated the White vote for Trump at 57 percent. 54 percent of White women also voted for Trump.
Moments after the race was called, media and cable outlets showed scenes of spontaneous outbreaks of street dancing – accompanied by music, lusty singing, raucous cheers and honking horns – in cities as disparate as Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City, Atlanta, San Francisco and Oakland. Black Biden supporters expressed immense relief and joy that an aroused public joined hands to usher out the jarring, abrasive, racist Trump regime.
After 1,459 days of the Trump Administration, with its pervasive and proven racism, support of racial hatred, pervasive lies, division and chaos, millions across the nation seemed to breathe freely.
"I feel excitement. It's a beautiful day," said Alexandra Jones, a third-generation Washington D.C. native, Howard University alumnus and educator Saturday evening. "On Tuesday, I didn't think Biden and Harris were going to win. But last night the calm came through, I thought it, felt it and finally claimed it. I feel relief. It's amazing to see humanity triumph. A collective group of very different people, many of them outsiders, came together as one."
It is a delicious irony that despite years of Democratic Party brass overlooking, barely tolerating and often neglecting the issues, needs and concerns of African American voters, Black folks ended up being the decisive factor. Overwhelming Black support in the urban cities, other urban areas and the suburbs of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia translated into significant caches of votes that propelled the Biden-Harris ticket to victory.
It came after a fractious campaign, a major struggle and a long, arduous vote count. More than 101 million Americans cast ballots in early voting and an estimated 41 million more voted on Election Day. Exit polls indicate that Biden and Harris got the support of the majority of Millennial and Gen X voters, as well as new and returning voters. They also captured the majority of the Latinx, Native American and Asian and Pacific Islander vote. But the African American vote – organized and mobilized by primarily Black female organizers, workers and strategists for years before 2020 – laid the groundwork for the Democratic Party to blunt the 48 percent of the electorate who voted for President Donald Trump.
African Americans voted in record-breaking numbers despite a concerted effort of widespread voter suppression and voter manipulation by the Trump administration and the Republican Party. Trump spent much of the election campaign trying to delegitimize the electoral process; claimed that he would only lose if the election was stolen; and interrupted the operations of the U.S. Postal Service, headed by his appointee, campaign donor and Greensboro, N.C. resident Louis DeJoy, in an effort to disrupt mail in voting.
Tiffany Cross, an on-air political analyst, author and cable news veteran, said during a post-election interview on MSNBC that African Americans have again saved America from itself.
"We saw the coalition after the South Carolina primary. Black voters are very pragmatic and look at who will do the least harm to our communities," she explained. "And Biden was certainly helped by having Kamala on the ticket. Black women voters are the Democratic base. We have to ask why the other side didn't vote for the greater good."
Cross acknowledged the considerable support of the Latinx, Indigenous and Asian American/Pacific communities, "but certainly, by far, Black voters were dominant supporters giving him this victory. I anticipate that African Americans will hold this administration accountable for some of the things they voted in the promise for. We voted for a country that has never loved us back, but we still voted with expectations of what this country might become for us after we built it for free."

There have been several updates since I originally wrote up this post. Please scroll to the end for the final word on the matter.
Integrity and honesty. Two traits that everyone should strive to obtain. I put quite a bit of value on them. If someone says they will do something, they should do it. They should not lie about it, nor should they weasel out of a promise made. It speaks volumes about a person if they do not deal with others honestly or keep their word. Such actions make them untrustworthy. If you cannot trust someone in relatively small matters, then it becomes difficult to trust them with larger matters. This is particularly important when it comes to dealing with businessmen who have managed equity investments and specialize in mergers and acquisitions. You would expect them to honor their contracts.
There was one person in whom I really did want to see a glimmer of integrity and honesty. Despite his callous, abrasive nature, I really did hope that when he made a promise, he would keep it. I'm speaking, of course, about Generation Rescue and Age of Autism's Mr. Jonathan B. Handley.
A Promise Made
Back on November 16, 2010 (cached version here), Mr. Handley made a rather outrageous claim that blogger Sullivan was really Bonnie Offit, wife of pediatrician Dr. Paul Offit. In that post, he made a promise (emphasis added):
Bonnie Offit, or Sullivan for that matter, I have a simple offer:
If you can produce a dad with a child with autism with a remarkable grasp of the medical and scientific literature who blogs under the name Sullivan, a man who has an inordinate grasp of the details of your husband's patents, lawsuits, published studies, and web habits, I will make sure that the pauloffit.com website is given to you and your husband for good.
In fact, if you can produce this father, I promise to never, ever publicly write about or utter the name "Paul Offit" again.
In this quote, Mr. Handley essentially created a contract between himself and the Offits. The transaction would consist of transferring ownership of the domain name pauloffit.com to Bonnie and Paul. The price of the transaction was the production of "a dad with a child with autism with a remarkable grasp of the medical and scientific literature who blogs under the name Sullivan". Upon production of that individual, Mr. Handley has explicitly agreed to make sure that the web site is given, permanently, to Dr. and Mrs. Offit. He did not set any timeframe for the revelation of Sullivan's identity.
One April 27, 2011, Sullivan revealed himself as Matt Carey, father of an autistic child. He blogs under the name Sullivan and has a good understanding of medical and scientific literature. In fact, he presented at this year's IMFAR conference in California.
Two days after this revelation, I had to post a followup, giving Mr. Handley props for keeping his word. You see, Mr. Handley admitted his error and wrote the following (cached version here:
I also offered to give up the website www.pauloffit.com...'Nuff said, in the world I live in, a deal's a deal, even if you took five months to get here. Just email me, plenty on the dark side know how to find me, and we can work out the details.
Shortly after that, the web site pauloffit.com, which had, until then, contained defamatory articles about Dr. Offit, displayed nothing but a white page with the image of Sullivan, from Monsters Inc..
Many people took this to mean that Mr. Handley had handed over ownership and control of the web site to Mr. Carey. It was very amusing and garnered a lot of praise.
A Promise Broken
And then yesterday, the site had reverted to its defamatory origins, with the addition of Mike Wazowski to the title.
This was first spotted by Liz Ditz, at I Speak of Dreams.
I decided to do a bit of investigating. Unfortunately, WhoIs wasn't any help, as the ownership of the domain name has been kept anonymous. So, I decided to contact both Mr. Carey and Dr. Offit to find out if they had been in contact with Mr. Handley regarding transfer of ownership of the site. Mr. Carey responded:
After Mr. Handley emailed me I replied that he could transfer the domain directly to the Offits. He never contacted them. As far as I can tell, the Sullivan picture was JB Handley's work.
And Dr. Offit's response:
I suspect that Mr. Handley did turn over the site. He just didn't turn it over to me or my wife. But his dishonesty isn't particularly surprising.
I can live with Handley's ill-informed and misguided attacks against me. But he reaches a new low when he accuses my wife of something she never did. Frankly, I've never come across anyone so relentlessly mean-spirited.
After promising that he would turn the site over to the Offits, Mr. Handley has reneged on his deal. He broke his contract with Dr. and Mrs. Offit and Mr. Carey. He is not a man of his word. In short, he is a liar.
Now, I am not a lawyer, so I cannot say if Mr. Handley's original offer could be held up under Oregon law (he's a resident of Portland), but his actions do make me wonder about how he deals in his other business. If he will not honor a deal as minor as this, will he honor other deals? Might he renege on financial deals with his clients? Perhaps not honor a merger/acquisition agreement? I cannot say, but my personal opinion is that I could not trust him to honor any contract after this. (For those who are lawyerly inclined, here are the Oregon laws on sales and contracts.)
Mr. Handley still has opportunity to make things right. He still has the chance to honor his word and turn pauloffit.com over to Dr. and Mrs. Offit. I would like to believe that even he can show some integrity, but it really is up to him to show it.
So, what's it going to be, Mr. Handley? Are you going to remain in breach of your contract or are you going to do the right thing and honor your offer?
UPDATE: I received an e-mail from Dr. Offit, informing me that he received an e-mail from register.com at 11:50am today (May 15, 2011) stating that Mr. Handley was willing to transfer pauloffit.com to Dr. Offit. The site, as of 6:08pm, May 15, 2011, looks like it is mirroring paul-offit.com:
Because Mr. Handley burned us all once with the Sullivan image, I'm going to wait a few days before I fully trust that Dr. Offit has finally gained control of the domain.
UPDATE: On May 16, 2011, Mr. Handley put up a post at Age of Autism about this whole affair in which he, once again, breaks his word. He writes about Dr. Offit, which he promised not to do ever again. Granted, he doesn't actually use Dr. Offit's name, instead referring to him as a "vaccine profiteer". I guess Mr. Handley just is not a man of his word, allowing his hatred of Dr. Offit to bring him to the point of breaking his promises.
UPDATE: The picture is becoming somewhat clearer. This evening (May 16), I received e-mails forwarded from both Mr. Carey and Dr. Offit, showing me exactly what they received and when. From what I can see, it appears that on May 2nd, Mr. Handley contacted a third party who apparently controlled the web site. On the 3rd, that third party replied to Mr. Handley letting him know that the domain was unlocked and that anyone could request a transfer (note that this is not the same as actually processing the transfer). Around 1pm on Sunday, May 15, a confirmation e-mail was sent to Mr. Handley indicating that the "Transfer of Registrant for pauloffit.com from JB Handley to Paul Offit" had been processed successfully. This information was provided to me by Mr. Carey, who has a more detailed account at Left Brain/Right Brain.
As to Dr. Offit, he forwarded to me the following e-mail, which he received yesterday, May 15, at 11:50am:
Checking the WhoIs listing for the site, today, revealed that the site is now registered to Bonnie Offit.
I am not clear on exactly what the delay was between Mr. Handley's May 2nd e-mail to the third party and the e-mail received by Dr. Offit 13 days later. I am also unclear on why the site changed to the picture of Sullivan and subsequently reverted back to false and erroneous articles denigrating Dr. Offit.
At any rate, based on what was publicly known between April 29 and May 13, I feel that my comments above were at least understandable. Mr. Handley had the option of sharing with me the e-mails involved, which would have clarified matters much more quickly and avoided this whole debacle, instead of complaining in the comments here and elsewhere, as well as in a lengthy article at Age of Autism blog. Certainly, taking such actions instead of calling me an "asshole" would have been far more constructive and avoided much of the temper-laden fallout.
Mr. Handley, while I am not entirely clear on what the problems were, I am glad that the issue is finally resolved and that you have followed through on your promise to ensure that the pauloffit.com web site be transferred to the Offits. In the future, should you feel that I am in error, I invite you to share with me any objective evidence (e.g., e-mails with headers included) that you feel may convince me. If you take the time to engage in a civil manner with me, you will find that I will respond in kind, even if I may disagree with you.
Unless you wish to discuss anything further, I consider the matter settled.

Todd:
Dr. Offit is lying, as usual. On may 3rd, Dr. Offit received an email from register.com offering the transfer of the site to him. After 72 hours, Dr. Offit had not claimed it and the site was available to anyone to register. The email where the register.com transfer was sent was provided to me by Matt Carey, who directed me here to find it:
I even sent Mr. Carey a note on May 6th advising him of that and offering to interview him for AoA, in the spirit of closing the gap between us, to which he has never responded, here's the contents of that email:
Just an fyi that pauloffit.com was unlocked and an email sent to Dr. Offit making it available to him was sent Tuesday afternoon this week. Case closed. The offer stands for an interview to be posted at AoA, thanks, JB
Someone is lying to you, JB Handley

Todd W. May 14, 2011 at 11:58 AM
Thank you for your comment. I would invite you to forward to me the e-mails that you sent, including the headers. You can send them to todd (at) flurf (dot) net.
As a side note, the information that is currently there, I assume, is published by you, since you currently own the site. That also violates part of your promise to not write about Dr. Offit again.
I will kindly await your forwarding of the e-mails.
(As a side note, Dr. Offit had left a comment here, but with the blogger outage on Friday, it was temporarily lost. Hopefully it will be restored soon.)
Ren May 15, 2011 at 5:29 PM
So, because Dr. Offit allegedly did not take ownership of the site, it was fair game to re-launch the attacks (in violation of the agreement). Sorry, Mr. Handley. I'd believe you more if you had not put up all that information and just left the Sullivan cartoon.
Chris May 16, 2011 at 1:21 PM
I believe in the future, Mr. Handley, you will click the little bit in your email program to request notification that the message has been received.
Todd W:
It's funny, I really can't win with you idiots. The only reason I posted on AoA is because of this post attacking my integrity, written by YOU.
The register.com email that Dr. Offit responded to was sent to him on May 4th. If he was remotely honest, he would acknowledge that's when the site was offered to him.
I'm sure its disappointing for you that I did exactly what I told Matt Carey and others I would do, but you'll find some reason to make me seem dishonest, because, well, I guess your just an asshole.
JB Handley
Todd W. May 16, 2011 at 3:52 PM
I would've been more forgiving of you if, instead of being a jerk, you had simply used Dr. Offit's name, instead of using pejorative terminology. In fact, I wouldn't have mentioned your writing about him at all if you had actually been civil about it. Instead, you chose to be crass and insulting. You'll find that when people behave in a respectful manner, I treat them with respect. When they engage in conduct such as yours, I respond in kind.
If you cannot handle being called out for that, then perhaps you should try being a little more gentlemanly and handling your mistake with grace and style.
One other thing, Mr. Handley. As I mentioned in my reply to your first comment, all you needed to do was forward to me (or cause to be forwarded to me) the e-mail that was sent to Dr. Offit, including the headers, indicating when it was sent.
Mr. Handley, your integrity was questioned when you first started to cybersquat. If you wish to be considered honest you would return all of the cites that you registered, like http://oracknows.com/ (which still goes to Generation Rescue).
Sullivan May 16, 2011 at 9:55 PM
Mr. Handley,
you appear to be claiming that Dr. Offit used the email you claim was sent in early May, 12 days before the 15th to make the domain transfer change.
The emails that register.com sends out are only active for 8 days.
Here is a chat session I had with them on this topic today.
Jon H.: Hi, my name is Jon H.. How may I help you?
Matthew Carey: Hello--a question about transferring a domain out of register.com
Jon H.: Hello Matthew
Matthew Carey: If I initiate a transfer, an email is sent. According to the tutorial, this email is valid for 24 hours. Is this correct?
Jon H.: The email for confirmation on a domain transfer lasts up to 8 days. After that, the transfer automatically cancels due to lack of confirmation.
Matthew Carey: OK, so if the person who is receiving the domain waits over 8 days, the transfer is canceled and I have to start over. Right?
Jon H.: That is correct Matthew.
Matthew Carey: Thanks, that solves my question. I appreciate your time.
Jon H.: No problem at all. Was there anything else I could assist you with?
Matthew Carey: No. You have been very helpful and I think we are done.
Jon H.: You're welcome. Have a good evening and thank you for contacting Register.com
Jon H. has disconnected.
Liz Ditz May 16, 2011 at 10:01 PM
More cybersquatting by Mr. Handley or his employees or associates:
http://everychildbytwo.org -- goes to a post at Age of Autism criticizing the Every Child By Two organization, whose real URL is http://www.ecbt.org/
Todd W. May 17, 2011 at 7:49 AM
*sigh* I have to say, that cybersquatting is such a childish, lame thing to do. It's the "I can't adequately address the science, so I'm going to s*** in the sandbox instead" tactic. There are children more mature than that.
I've been thinking the same thing through this whole issue: The site shouldn't have existed in the first place. The offer to give up the site on the condition that an identity could be (dis)proven, was not the offer to do something kind, it was the offer to undo something "nasty".
A clear theme running through the whole saga is ad hominems - first against Offit, then against his wife and Sullivan with the claims about Sullivan's true identity - when in both situations the respectable response would have been to deal with what Offit and Sullivan were claiming; not with who they were.
Regardless of your views on any link between vaccines and autism, the whole situation makes Handley look bad.

Bin Laden is Dead - Thoughts and Musings


Lord Michael Ashcroft and his Belizean business interests are once again on a full-court press against the Belizean people. They seek to undo the law that is keeping Belize's foreign reserves, and the country's economy protected. The Alliance is seeking to get the Central Bank Immunity Act struck down by the Supreme Court and declared unconstitutional.
Readers will remember that this law and the Amendment to the Crown Proceedings Act were passed by the Barrow Administration. It was necessary because the UDP government realized that the Ashcroft Alliance may be eyeing those funds. So, the Government passed the Central Bank law to ensure that those reserves are out of their reach.
That was necessary because a US court already granted a judgment against Belize, allowing the Alliance to collect an award of 50 million US dollars, which was handed down by the London Court of International Arbitration. Prime Minister Dean Barrow has insisted that his government will not pay a single cent of that award, and so the Alliance has been trying to force Belize to pay. This is an old fight in court over the abusive Accommodation Agreement which the Musa Administration unlawfully signed for BTL, when the Ashcroft Alliance was the owner. The Barrow Government refused to honour it because it was a noose around the neck of Belizeans. The Alliance has been trying to force the government to pay for that agreement by way of arbitration award, ever since.
The government, with good reason, was concerned that the Ashcroft companies would attempt to go after the Central Bank's reserve to satisfy this judgment debt. That was the reason for the Central Bank Immunity law; it criminalizes any attempt to attach those reserves as part of any judgment debt. The Ashcroft Company, Caribbean Holdings Investment Limited (CIHL), and their chief law firm, Courtenay Coye LLP, have since argued 2 claims against the law in an attempt to challenge its constitutionality. They were heard in a 2-day trial on last week Wednesday and Thursday, before Chief Justice Kenneth Benjamin.
Eamon Courtenay, the Lead attorney for Caribbean Investment Holdings Limited, argued before the judge that this 50 million US dollar award is treated as property by the courts. The government must pay CIHL money, and that is property. They have asserted that the Central Bank Immunity Act unfairly deprives them of that property in its application, which is a violation of their rights. Courtenay has also made the submission that all parties in Belize must have a right of due process of law. That right of due process, from CIHL's perspective, is to include their ability to pursue any legal matter in the courts of Belize and outside, and they assert that this law violates their rights.
Eamon Courtenay's law firm, Courtenay Coye LLP, was represented by attorney Magali Marin-Young, and she submitted before the Chief Justice that this law unfairly criminalizes the actions of attorneys who are advising a person who are attempting to enforce arbitration awards.
In defense of the case, Acting Solicitor General Nigel Hawke has countered those positions, and he has made the point to the judge fundamentally, they are trying to enforce a judgment that the Caribbean Court of Justice has already ruled unenforceable.
The Court refused to enforce the award because it is contrary to Belize's public policy.
So, the Chief Justice has now reserved judgment in these two claims to be announced at a later date. His judgment will determine the constitutionality of the Central Bank Immunity Act, and there is a possibility that he could strike out the law. If that happens, the Central Bank's reserves will be exposed once again, and Eamon Courtenay hasn't given a straight answer on whether or not his clients will go after them again.
Does Courtenay see it as a laughing matter that his clients, the Ashcroft Alliance, could wreck this country's economy if they get at the Central Bank's foreign reserves?

Home Breaking Scholz warns of "division of the world" by Russian war of aggression
Scholz warns of "division of the world" by Russian war of aggression
Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) has once again defended the delivery of arms and military equipment to Ukraine and at the same time warned of a "division of the world". The war in Ukraine is a turning point, "because a single country, Russia, is breaking international law in the most brutal way with the power of its military apparatus and without any reason," said Scholz on Thursday at Re:publica, the trade fair for the digital society , in Berlin. He is the first German head of government to be a guest at the conference.
Almost 80 years after the end of the Second World War, Russia is moving the borders in Europe "in order to subdue another country and incorporate at least parts of it," said Scholz. "That's sheer imperialism." This will never be accepted.
Therefore, the sanctions were imposed on Russia, millions of Ukrainian refugees were admitted to the EU and support for Ukraine continued "economically, financially, humanitarian and also militarily". And that's why the decision was made "that Germany should send weapons and military equipment to a war zone on a large scale for the first time," said Scholz. This is done in close coordination with partners in the EU, NATO and the G7 countries.
In countries in Asia, Africa and South America, as a result of the Russian war of aggression, there are growing concerns about starvation, scarcity of raw materials, lack of energy, interrupted supply chains and "being left behind and forgotten by the rest of the world," said the Chancellor. He further emphasized: "There is a threat of a new division of the world."
Scholz also called for international cooperation and solidarity: "It is worth working together on a world order that does justice to the multipolar reality of the 21st century." He is convinced that the so-called de-globalization, which some are currently propagating, is a dangerous mistake be.
"No one can disconnect from the world," said Scholz. This applies to the analogue world, where climate change, health crises, poverty reduction, trade and knowledge transfer make international cooperation imperative. But that also applies to the digital space.
"Digital technologies are increasingly being misused as a geopolitical instrument of power, sometimes specifically for disinformation campaigns," said Scholz at the fair. "We'll be better prepared for that – that's also a concrete consequence of the turning point." The Federal Chancellor has announced a more consistent defense against digital attempts at influence from abroad.
Scholz said of the risk of targeted disinformation campaigns from Russia: "You can't take it seriously enough." The responsible authorities in Germany have such activities in mind.
At the same time, the chancellor admitted that "there is still a lot to be done in order to become even better". It is important "to preserve and strengthen the Internet as the progressive, democratizing space for global networking and knowledge exchange," said the Chancellor. "That means 'a turning point' in digital politics." The Chancellor expressly criticized China and Russia for trying to regulate the Internet. "Knowledge is power. And quite a few feel threatened by this power of knowledge," he said. "That's why we're seeing state actors set limits on the free Internet."
Scholz also fears that the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine will be protracted. Russian President Vladimir Putin has not yet understood that his plans will not work, said Scholz in an interview with the radio station Antenne Bayern.
"Having failed to capture all of Ukraine and having withdrawn his troops around Kyiv, he is now bombing the regions of eastern Ukraine, especially Donbass, and apparently has the idea that if he puts everything down there bombed, which can then become part of the Russian empire," said Scholz. "But that won't work."

The president dangles hope in front of immigrants, but always snatches it away.
There's what Donald Trump does, and what Donald Trump says. Then, there's what he says an hour later. Very often, none of these are in agreement with each other. This is the man with whom Democrats and Republicans have been trying to work out an immigration deal for DACA recipients for the last seven months.
On Friday afternoon, all those competing impulses were on display again. President Trump signed the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill Congress managed to pass the night before after he threatened early Friday to veto it. Trump did make his displeasure known at the White House signing on Friday afternoon. "I say to Congress, I will never sign another bill like this again. I'm not going to do it again," Trump said.
The spending bill will fund the federal government through to at least September, granting six months off from the regular "will they keep the lights on?" wrangling. The more-than-2,000-page bill covers opioid treatment, disaster relief, and national security. It provides funding for the hiring of more than 300 new Customs and Border Patrol agents. But the bill offers nothing for the 700,000 DACA recipients whose lives have been thrown into limbo after Trump canceled the program in September of last year. The spending resolution is widely seen as the last best chance to get something done on DACA.
"Nobody read it. It's only hours old," Trump said at the bill's signing ceremony.
"DACA recipients have been treated extremely badly by the Democrats. We wanted to include them in the bill. Eight hundred thousand people, and actually it could even be more. The Democrats would not do it. They would not do it," Trump added later.
But Trump's only got cynical love for Dreamers, as DACA recipients are often called. Trump's real criticisms of the bill are that, while it offered $1.6 billion for building and repairing existing border fencing, it put nothing toward the $26 billion needed to fund the "big, beautiful" concrete border wall that has become the symbol of Trump's immigration and border-security policy. Under the bill, some 92 miles of fencing will be replaced or built, but all of it must hew to existing border-fencing models. None of the money will go toward building any of the wall prototypes that Trump went to visit in California last week.
While Trump sent some scrambling with his early Friday tweets, immigration advocates saw his veto threat as empty posturing. "It's hard to take that seriously," Diana Pliego, a policy associate with the National Immigration Law Center, said Friday afternoon, just before the White House announced that Trump would sign the bill after all.
"He's rejected multiple bipartisan proposals [to save DACA] ever since he created the crisis," Pliego said. Indeed, DACA, which is a deportation-deferral program and not an immigration program, exists entirely at the behest of the Executive Branch. Ever since canceling the program in September, Trump has repeatedly called for, then passed on, serious bipartisan deals to provide long-term protections for the 700,000 young people who've enrolled in the program.
He balked at an offer from Democrats this week to fund the wall when he refused to offer greater protections for undocumented young people. It's the best offer Trump's gotten yet, according to The Washington Post.
But as immigrant youth and advocates have been saying for some time now, all his wailing about DACA recipients' being left out rings hollow. Trump has never prioritized the welfare of immigrant youth. "For us, [his veto threat] highlights that his intention all along was to use Dreamers as bargaining chips to get his wall," Pliego said.
Trump's strategy, now as ever, appears to be to cut young people off from their livelihoods and endanger their families in order to get Democrats and Republicans to the table, dangling hope in front of immigrants, but always snatching it away so long as he does not get his own actual prize: a big, beautiful wall.

It was something that i'd wanted to do for years but had never got round to it. I had got hours of unedited footage taken of my boy's growing up, family occasions, pets and members of the family who where sadly no longer with us. I knew that the tapes perish over time and if i didn't get on with it these memories could be lost for ever. I found Memories2keep online who firstly took the video 8 tapes and converted to DVD. They then uploaded all my unedited footage (13 hrs.) to secure timeline website for me to edit what I wanted to keep, what I wanted deleted, what I wanted music over and what sound I wanted to keep.
Lisa did a fantastic Job putting the footage together. Each DVD is in time order with each episode titled for easy viewing. Each DVD and case has a chosen photo and is perfectly presented. Also at the end of the DVD's are 20 photo's all synced with a song.
I would most definitely recommend this company. They turned some rather amateur footage into something special. Iv'e never liked the sound of my own voice so music was added in various parts. I love to hear the children laughing and chatting so the sound was a must here. To hear the voices of those who are no longer with us is priceless. Something to leave behind for future generations! Thank you Lisa and Steve for all your hard work.

WHO predicts 100 million additional cases worldwide
World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus suggested Wednesday that unless things change, the world could see 100 million more cases of COVID-19 by the early months of next year.
"At the current trajectory, we could pass 300 million cases early next year," he said during a media briefing. "But we can change that.
We are all in this together, but the world is not acting like it."
The number of recorded COVID-19 cases had reached 200 million last week, just six months after the world passed 100 million cases, Tedros noted, "and we know that the real number of cases is much higher."
At the briefing, WHO officials emphasized that more research was being done on treatment for COVID-19 in an unprecedented mult-icountry trial called Solidarity Plus, which will look at the effectiveness of three new drugs in 52 countries.Officials also said the spread of virulent variants such as delta would change assumptions about herd immunity and vaccination targets.

So you Wanna be Batman, Huh?
There are a lot of difficult training courses out there in the military. There's Ranger School and jump school, SERE, HALO, dive school, the "Green Footprint" I-school, Scout-Sniper School.
Most famously of course are things like the SF Q-Course and BUDS. Anyone that watches TV or goes to the movies can seemingly discuss their relative difficulty and merits (it's hard to read sarcasm, but try).
Slightly less well known over here on this side of the pond is the Brecon Beacons part of SAS Selection, Canada's SOBQ, the Golani Training School and the BBE's "Black Tulip" shindig. All of these pale in comparison to one unnamed training cycle of such incredible difficulty it's only been successfully completed one time. That's right. It's the training regimen known colloquially as "Becoming Batman."
Legionnaire, Inside Delta Force and Bravo Two Zero were all great books -- but you're going to need to read Becoming Batman: the Possibility of a Superhero by E. Paul Zehr.
Interested? Well, Scientific American interviewed the author recently, asking such questions as How many of us do you think could become a Batman?
The response: "If you found the percentage of billionaires and multiply that by the percentage of people who become Olympic decathletes, you could probably get a close estimate. The really important thing is just how much a human being really can do. There's such a huge range of performance and ability you can tap into..."
The interview is Dark Knight Shift: Why Batman Could Exist, But Not For Long.
Battling bad guys. High-tech hideouts. The gratitude of the masses. Who at some point in their life hasn't dreamed of being a superhero?
Impossible, right? Or is it?
Possessing no supernatural powers, Batman is the most realistic of all the superheroes. His feats are achieved through rigorous training and mental discipline, and with the aid of fantastic gadgets. Drawing on his training as a neuroscientist, kinesiologist, and martial artist, E. Paul Zehr explores the question: could a mortal ever become Batman?
Zehr discusses the physical and skill training necessary to maintain bad-guy-fighting readiness while relating the science underlying this process -- from strength conditioning to the cognitive changes a person would endure in undertaking such a regimen. In probing what a real-life Batman could achieve, Zehr considers the level of punishment a consummately fit and trained person could handle, how hard and fast such a person could punch and kick and the number of adversaries that individual could dispatch, what it would be like to fight while wearing a batsuit, and the amount of food one would have to consume each day to maintain vigilance as Gotham City's guardian.
A fun foray of escapism grounded in sound science, Becoming Batman provides the background for attaining the realizablethough extremelevel of human performance that would allow you to be a superhero.


Robin grew up on the B.C. coast and has been sailing these waters for most of his life, the last nineteen years as a BC Coast Pilot. Pilots board vessels out at sea and bring them safely into the Port of Vancouver. Nobody knows the local waters like a marine pilot.
Last year the ECHO program undertook a vessel slowdown trial in order to better understand whether slower ships are quieter. Underwater noise can interfere with a whale's ability to feed and communicate, so this trial aimed to learn more about minimizing this impact. Listening devices were used in the ocean where whales feed. Ships were asked to voluntarily slow down in that area, and industry responded with strong participation in the trial.
Robin and Krista are two of the people working behind the scenes to help endangered whales. We connected these two so they could chat about the results of the slowdown trial and how working together can make a difference to the welfare of local wildlife. It's just one of the ways we're connecting your world.

The Dillinger Escape Plan: The Confessions Of Greg Puciato
By Metal Hammer
The Dillinger Escape Plan frontman comes clean about public defecation, breaking the barriers of perception and his deepest, darkest fears…
Greg Puciato in one of his less \"extreme\" onstage moments (Image credit: Getty)
The frontman of The Dillinger Escape Plan once shat in a bag in front of thousands of people and got so high he forgot who he was. Greg Puciato has plenty to confess…
How do you feel about being remembered for shitting on the main stage at Reading Festival in 2002?
"It's a fairly extreme thing to do, so I get it that people who aren't more versed in music, that's the one thing they remember. But who cares? If you do something that extreme in front of that many people, what do you expect?"
What's the most expensive thing you've ever bought yourself?
"The same thing most people buy – a house and a car. I bought a Lamborghini with a solid gold dick on the front of it."
What's the worst fight you've ever been in?
"I'm an adult, I have no motivation to be in a fight. I don't need to prove anything to anyone, I've been hit in the face with enough guitars that I don't need to get punched by another dude to test myself."
What's the weirdest thing you've ever seen while high?
"I thought Ben [Weinman, guitar] and I were the same person. I had a major, major breakdown of my perception of myself as an individual and I saw people as being like a big gas cloud, and every person is a bubble in that gas cloud. And if the bubble pops you'll die and you'll just return to the gas. So it's insane that people have this concept of ego and individuality to the point where they start to block out everyone else, because we're actually the same person."
So perhaps a life-changing moment?
"I think there was a really big realisation that the people I was surrounding myself with, and the roles that they have in my life and my preconceptions of them were reflecting off of myself. That was a huge growing point for me as an individual, the destruction of ego that happened."
When was the last time you were totally starstruck?
"I don't get starstruck. And I actually hate when people do because it makes me feel like they don't have self-belief. If you are making an idol out of another person, you're telling yourself that you can never be on a level with that person. I do understand being in awe of someone's accomplishments, but the only time I've ever had a moment when I was starting to lose my cool was meeting James Hetfield. And that's just because …And Justice For All meant so much to me, it was hard to comprehend this person that I'd never met had such an influence on me."

Have you had any onstage disasters?
"I've had injuries, but they're not disastrous any more, they're just inconvenient."
Have you got any irrational fears?
"I have a big fear of getting a brain tumour. My family doesn't have a history of it or anything, I just feel like I'm a very healthy person, so the only thing I'm afraid of is things that I can't see. There's a lot of people in music that have had brain tumours; Chuck Schuldiner of Death, James Murphy in Testament. It's headbanging and screaming; how many times can you bust a blood vessel in your brain from screaming before it develops some sort of weird mutuation? I'll drill it out myself if it's in there."
Have you ever had a really weird experience with a fan?
"We're pretty lucky, we've a lot more really dedicated fans than normal bands because we're hard to get into. But it's usually pretty healthy. The weirdest fans that we have are the ones who come from someone else who attracts that level of superfans, like Mike Patton. The run-off we get from those people, the super-weirdos, are the strangest. They're so into them that they became fans of anything that they're affiliated with. By the time they get to us they're just on a level of weird that you can't comprehend."
Have you ever been arrested?
"Yeah, but not for anything cool. It was just something stupid, forgetting to pay a ticket and getting pulled over for speeding and having them be like, 'Hey, you have a warrant out for your arrest because you didn't pay this ticket.' I didn't even know about it because I was on tour."
What's your most disgusting personal habit?
"I leave gum everywhere. I stick it places and forget about it. But I'm not really that much of a revolting person."

Mohammad Ayyub was attacked on Tuesday while transporting cattle
His car hit another on the highway, a calf was killed, Ayyub was injured
Ayyub was chased by men, beaten up; police are looking for suspects
Ahmedabad: A 29-year-old man who was allegedly beaten up by gau rakshaks or cow vigilantes in Ahmedabad four days ago died of his injuries at a hospital in Ahmedabad on Friday.
Mohammad Ayyub was allegedly attacked by a group of cow vigilantes on Tuesday while he and another man Sameer Sheikh were transporting a cow and a calf, police said.
At around 3 am on Tuesday, Mr Ayyub's car crashed into another on a highway resulting in the death of the calf, they said.
Also injured in the accident, Mr Ayyub tried to flee the spot but was chased by a group of men and beaten up, police said.
His associate Mr Sheikh, however, was saved by a policeman who was on duty nearby.
Later, a complaint was filed by three gau rakshaks against Mohammad Ayyub and Sameer Sheikh for illegally transporting the animals.
The three men were also among those that attacked Mr Ayyub, his family has alleged. But the police has said there was no evidence to suggest that they were at the spot.
"We had detained them as well but even Sameer could not identify them. Also so far we haven't got any evidence to establish their presence at the spot," said R R Bhagat, a senior police officer.
"We have filed an attempt to murder case against unknown people," he said. Efforts were being made to identify the people who had gathered at the spot based on security camera footage, he added.
But Mr Ayyub's family has alleged that Mr Sheikh had refused to identify the cow vigilantes under pressure.
"By filing the complaint, it's clear that they were at the spot. Even if they were transporting the animals illegally, they have no right to take law into their own hands," said Rozar Khan, Mr Ayyub's uncle.
Violence by self-styled cow protectors have made national headlines since the public flogging of four Dalit men in Gujarat's Una in July.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also joined the clamour against violence in the name of cow protection last month by calling such attackers "anti-social elements".

We decided to move a few of our goats to a different pasture. That means putting the cage we use to transport them into the back of my truck, catching the goats, lifting them into the cage and driving them to the other pasture. Sometimes that's all easy enough and sometimes it's not.
We didn't always do it that way. Before I had the cage, and back when we'd move the entire herd at once, I'd just lead them the 1/3 mile distance between pastures. Sometimes I'd lure them with a scoop of sweet feed. Most times I'd put a lead rope on the horse, or a leash on our livestock guardian dog and let one of them lead the way. The goats would all dutifully follow the horse/dog. I don't know why. They just did.
Until the time they didn't. Something spooked one of them, momentarily panicking the rest of them. After they darted off into the woods some of them discovered that they liked it there. Once the mule train was broken, it was every-goat-for-herself chaos.
Eventually we got them all back into the pasture we started from. But the pied-piper method of switching pastures was history.
The cage works well. Except for the fact that it's a pain to get into the truck bed. And the only way to get the goats into it is to lift them and push them in. And sometimes they don't want to go in. And sometimes, once in, they don't want to come out. But still, it's not a bad system.
So last week we moved a few of them. As I was waiting for them to exit the cage I thought it would be fun to take pictures of them jumping out. My camera wasn't fast enough to catch them midair, except as blurs. I kinda like the way they came out.
They didn't want to get in. Now they don't want to get out.

Most recently, over the past year, our team has successfully relocated persecuted peoples in the Middle East. In support of religious minorities in the Nineveh plains, we identified legitimate and eligible refugees for relocation and enabled the full chain of logistics required to ensure families were moved to new or reconstructed homes in areas where they are free from oppression and violence.
We provided successful resolution more than 3,900 Christians and Yazidis displaced by conflict and rescued 27 Assyrian Christians from ISIS controlled territory. Through our efforts, we have also funded and rebuilt 50 Christian homes and provided temporary housing for those attempting to remain in Nineveh, Mosul and Erbil. As part of the efforts of Mercury One's Nazarene Fund, White Mountain Research has recently partnered with Operation Underground Railroad to continue saving lives and resettling more persecuted families in the Middle East and around the world.

Co Codamol is a pain relieving medication. It contains two different medications - codeine phosphate and paracetamol. It can be used to treat mild or moderate pain caused by a variety of conditions, including toothache, migraine, headache and joint or muscle pain. This particular type of co-codamol is effervescent, meaning that the tablets are dissolved in water and then drunk.
Is Co-codamol suitable for children? I'm pregnant. Can I take co-codamol? What happens if I miss a dose? What happens if I take too much?
What is Co-codamol Effervescent 30/500?
This medication is prescription-only. You must have a valid prescription before you buy co-codamol. Alternatively, we can prescribe this medication to you following a brief online assessment. Contact us to find out more.
The active ingredients in Co-codamol are codeine phosphate and paracetamol. For more information, please consult the patient information leaflet.
Paracetamol and codeine phosphate work in two different ways to treat pain. Paracetamol works by reducing the production of prostaglandins in the brain and spinal cord, which increases one's pain threshold, causing them to feel less pain.
Codeine phosphate is an opioid. It treats pain by mimicking the effect of endorphins in the body, which blocks the transmission of pain signals sent to the brain by nerves. Although the cause of pain may still be present, less pain is actually felt.
You should not take co-codamol if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, including either of the active ingredients paracetamol or codeine phosphate. You must speak to your doctor to discuss an alternative medication to treat your condition.
Taking codeine for a long time can lead to addiction. This can cause withdrawal symptoms, such as restlessness and fatigue, if you stop taking the tablets. Take this medicine only for as long as you have been told. If you take too much, or take this medicine too often, you may be at risk of developing an addiction. You should speak to your doctor for more information.
Codeine is converted into morphine in the liver by an enzyme. The way this enzyme works in some patients means that not enough codeine will be converted to morphine and therefore an insufficient pain relieving effect will be produced. In others, it's possible that too much morphine is produced and therefore the risk of morphine toxicity is increased. If you notice that you experience slow or shallow breathing, small pupils, constipation or lack of appetite, you should stop taking this medication and contact your doctor.
You must take special care when taking co-codamol if you know you have severe liver or kidney problems, you have prostate problems or problems passing urine, you have a bowel problem such as colitis or Crohn's disease, or you are elderly. If any of this applies to you and you are unsure about how to take co-codamol, you should seek advice from your doctor.
Co-codamol can interact with alcohol. You must not drink alcohol while taking co-codamol.
Co-codamol may make you sleepy or drowsy. For this reason you must not drive until you are fully aware of how it affects you. You may be committing an offence if you drive under the influence of co-codamol and you are aware that this medication affects your concentration or ability to stay awake.
Do not take co-codamol while breastfeeding. Codeine and morphine can pass into breast milk.
Talk to your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant while taking co-codamol. It may be unsuitable for you and you should only take it during pregnancy with the express consent of your doctor.
Each effervescent tablet contains sodium. This may make this medication unsuitable for those on a low-sodium diet. This medication also contains sorbitol, which is a sugar. If you have been told you have an intolerance to some sugars, this medication may be unsuitable for you.
This is not an exhaustive list of warnings and interactions. For an exhaustive list, you should consult the patient information leaflet.
You must always take co-codamol effervescent tablets as directed by your prescriber. Never exceed the stated dose. If you are in any way unsure of how to take co-codamol, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
You must dissolve these tablets in water before taking them. Do not swallow, crush or chew them. This medication can be taken with or without food.
The typical recommended dose for adults is 2 tablets every 4 hours as and when necessary. You must not take more than 8 tablets every 24 hours.
This medication should be taken for no longer than three days at a time. If you have taken this medication for more than three days and your pain has not improved, you must stop taking it and consult your doctor for advice.
Store co-codamol in a cool, dry place, free from heat or moisture. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
This is not an exhaustive list of side effects. For a complete list, you must consult the patient information leaflet or speak to your doctor.
Is Co-codamol suitable for children?
Co-codamol can be taken by children aged 12 and over. However, this is only at the discretion of their doctor or pharmacist. We do not prescribe any medication to anyone under the age of 18.
I'm pregnant. Can I take co-codamol?
You should not take co-codamol while pregnant unless you have the explicit consent of your doctor. This is because it may affect an unborn baby. Your doctor will only prescribe co-codamol to you during pregnancy if they feel the benefits of taking it outweigh the risks.
If you have forgotten to take co-codamol, you should take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue as normal with your next dose. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
If you take too much co-codamol, this can cause serious side effects. Too much paracetamol can potentially cause serious, delayed liver damage. If you believe you have overdosed on co-codamol, you must immediately seek medical advice.


Goodbye Joey and hello the dreaded reign of Devin! The blue-haired makeup artist was the first houseguest to leave the infamous BB House, and also the first victim of Devin, Caleb, Frankie, Cody, Zach, Derrick, Christine and Amber's "Bomb Squad." After her unanimous departure, Devin and Amber won the HOH competition and decided on nominations together. Devin nominated Paola and Brittany (with the latter as his target) and Amber nominated Hayden and Nicole. In the Battle of the Block, Hayden and Nicole proved victorious and as a result, Devin remains HOH.

As a business owner site security should be a priority, it is, in fact, your company "face" to the whole world. There is nothing worse than opening up Google Analytics to see that everything has plummeted.
The frightening thing is this could happen and if Joomla website owners don't know or fail to google their own page, it can easily get lost in the shuffle.
One of the first symptoms that some Joomla website owners see that indicate they've been hacked is when they Google their own site and instead of seeing information in the search results about their product or service they instead see Japanese characters, advertising for shady products (casinos, payday lenders, imitation fashion goods, pharmaceuticals) or links to pages that shouldn't exist and contain information about another domain's spam offering.
Occasionally, the search results even look legitimate and reflect the actual website, but when visitors browse through they're redirected to a dark corner of the Internet.
Example of a hacked Joomla website in Google Search Results.
They can use your hacked Joomla site to boost the rankings of another site by creating many links to it. This works because one of the well-known elements of Google's search ranking algorithm is the number of links to a website from other websites.
They can manipulate the traffic numbers for a third-party website to make it look like a marketing effort is doing better than it is.
They can use the redirects to check for vulnerabilities in your visitor's applications and initiate an attack when they are vulnerable, delivering malware to your users.
They can damage your search engine rankings to benefit a competitor.
They can redirect visitors to other products and services simply in an attempt to sell, as unlikely as that may seem.
Stealing ownership of the site using Google's search console.
Both of these attacks are executed after a hacker has compromised your Joomla site.
As apart of this communication protocol, certain identifying information is passed with every request for a webpage. Hackers take advantage of this by checking to see who is requesting a page on your site and altering the response based off of who it is.
When the browser identifies itself as a search engine, the hacker script will return different information than what a normal visitor would see.
Google takes this information and saves it in its index, not knowing that it has been maliciously altered by a hacker. Then when someone performs a search, they see the sabotaged information and not the actual content of your website.
It is possible for hackers to gain access to your website and completely take over "ownership" or at least ownership in the eyes of Google or Bing.
In the back end of both Google and Bing, they provide an interface for website owners to influence and manage the results for those particular search engines.
They address common issues and questions and provide some visibility into how the website is interpreted by the search engine.
Hackers take advantage of this by claiming ownership of the website and then submitting a sitemap that is filled with spam pages and links.
Once this is accomplished, your site will begin to rank for terms that have nothing to do with it and help to direct traffic to third-party websites.
This can be done this because Google bases ownership on control of the website and, once a Joomla site is compromised, hackers effectively control it and are able to convince Google that they are a verified owner.
While this sort of attack is being executed, Google may determine that your site has low-quality content and de-index pages, gradually rendering your website invisible in the search results.
Fortunately, once a website has been recovered, and a new sitemap submitted, this damage can be reversed.
However, there is some anecdotal evidence that if Google recognizes that you have been hacked, and marks it as containing possible malware, your search engine rankings may diminish even after you have recovered your Joomla site.
It's important to note that it's critical that all hacker manipulations of your site files are eliminated and any vulnerabilities patched. It's common for hacker placed files and changes to be discovered and removed only to be hacked again within a few weeks.

If you are a non-smoker or a non-vaper and you want to give the gift of an e-cig, there are some simple tips you can follow to buy an electronic cigarette online that is just right for the individual.
Often it can be intimidating to buy an electronic cigarette online for someone not familiar with the vaping world, so choosing a top website that provides details and information about each type of e-cigarette should be a priority. This information can also include customer reviews and ratings, which is always helpful in knowing what others are seeing as the top brands and options.
While it may seem easier to choose from only a handful of different options, if you are planning to buy an electronic cigarette online for a gift you should compare as many options as possible. If you are a current vaper yourself you will have your own preferences, which means that you can narrow down your selection based on what you use and what you think the other person will enjoy.
For those new to vaping or with no experience, a bigger selection allows you to compare different brands and different combinations. Most of these websites with a top selection also provide a lot of information about each product which is extremely helpful.
While it is possible to buy an electronic cigarette online as an individual item and then buy the various components such as electronic chargers, extra parts and accessories such as cases, it is much easier to get a kit.
For a first time vaper or someone new to vaping, look for a starter kit. This will provide the individual with everything they need to get started, including the e-cig, case, charger and even additional cartridges or atomizers depending on the model and design.
Buying an individual e-cigarette can be a good option if you know the specific brand and type the individual uses. It should be easy to compare their current type of e-cig with other similar items to make a good choice.
If you are going to buy an electronic cigarette online as a gift, don't forget to include some different varieties of e-juice. There are many different flavors you can choose from, or you can also opt for a sample pack that will provide several different flavors they can try.
If you are going to buy an electronic cigarette online, be sure to visit Mt. Baker Vapor for an excellent selection of everything from starter kits to advanced e-cigs. To see our inventory visit us online at mtbakervaper.com.
