Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements presented are those of iGambit Inc., (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gotham Innovation Lab Inc. ("Gotham"). The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 13, 2000. The Company was originally incorporated as Compusations Inc. under the laws of the State of New York on October 2, 1996. The Company changed its name to BigVault.com Inc. upon changing its state of domicile on April 13, 2000. The Company changed its name again to bigVault Storage Technologies Inc. on December 22, 2000 before changing to iGambit Inc. on July 18, 2006. Gotham was incorporated under the laws of the state of New York on September 23, 2009.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Note 2 – Discontinued Operations
On February 28, 2006, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Digi-Data Corporation ("Digi-Data"), whereby Digi-Data acquired the Company's assets and its online digital vaulting business operations in exchange for $1,500,000, which was deposited into an escrow account for payment of the Company's outstanding liabilities. In addition, as part of the sales agreement, the Company receives payments from Digi-Data based on 10% of the net vaulting revenue payable quarterly over five years. The Company is also entitled to an additional 5% of the increase in net vaulting revenue over the prior year's revenue. These adjustments to the sales price are included in the discontinued operations line of the statements of income.
The assets of the discontinued operations are presented in the balance sheets under the captions "Assets of discontinued operations". The underlying assets of the discontinued operations for the years ended December 31 are as follows:
Noncurrent:
Restricted cash
Assets of discontinued operations
Accounts receivable includes 50% of contingency payments earned for the previous quarter. Reserve for bad debts of $250,000 was charged to operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. No reserve for bad debts was charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gotham Innovation Lab, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Contingency payment income is recognized quarterly from a percentage of Digi-Data's vaulting service revenue, and is included in discontinued operations.
The Company's revenues from continuing operations consists of revenues primarily from sales of products and services rendered to real estate brokers. Revenues are recognized upon delivery of the products or services.
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include checking and money market accounts and any highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
The Company analyzes the collectability of accounts receivable each accounting period and adjusts its allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of accounts receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each customer, current and historical collection history and the related aging of past due balances. The Company evaluates specific accounts when it becomes aware of information indicating that a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial condition, lower credit ratings, bankruptcy or other factors affecting the ability to render payment. There was no bad debt expense charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Prepaid expenses consist of the following:
June 30, December 31,
Prepaid federal income taxes
Prepaid state income taxes
Prepaid insurance
Property and equipment and depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for both financial reporting and income tax purposes is computed using combinations of the straight line and accelerated methods over the estimated lives of the respective assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company purchased computer equipment totaling $18,751. Computer equipment is depreciated over 5 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.
Depreciation expense of $2,894 and $180 was charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Goodwill represents the fair market value of the common shares issued and common stock options granted by the Company for the acquisition of Jekyll by the Company's subsidiary, Gotham. In accordance with ASC Topic No. 350 "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other"), the goodwill is not being amortized, but instead will be subject to an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test, and will be reviewed more
frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the asset's carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. A lack of projected future operating results from Gotham's operations may cause impairment. At December 31, 2010, the Company performed an impairment study and determined that there is no indication that present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company has not performed an impairment study during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Based on the Company's evaluation of goodwill, no impairment was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plan in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718-20, Awards Classified as Equity, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all share-based compensation granted to employees and non-employee directors at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the related service period for awards expected to vest. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of its stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility of the Company's common stock. Changes in these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of the Company's stock options and warrants.
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740 for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the Company's financial statements. In accordance with this provision, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position.
Note 4 – Restatement to Prior Consolidated Financial Statements
On October 26, 2010, the Company's Audit/Corporate Governance Committee determined that the previously issued audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 (contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed June 15, 2010, and subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on September 13, 2010) and the previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010(contained in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed,
respectively, on June 17, 2010 (Amendment No. 1 to The Quarterly Report for March 31, 2010 on Form 10-Q filed on September 13, 2010) and August 16, 2010, and November 22, 2010) should be revised. The restatements to these consolidated financial statements reflect the appropriate income tax provision, goodwill, compensation from vested warrants, and reclassifications in the statements of cash flows.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company determined that a schedule M-1 deduction for payments of deferred compensation was not claimed on the 2009 corporate tax return, resulting in an overstated income tax accrual aggregating $107,559. The December 31, 2009 Form 10-K/A properly reflects this item. The net impact on this item increased net income by $107,559. This item also increased prepaid expenses for the overpaid taxes by $107,559 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company also determined that its' reporting of the Gotham acquisition resulted in an overstatement of goodwill and additional paid-in capital of $73,974. The net impact of this item decreased goodwill and additional paid-in capital by $73,974. The March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 goodwill and additional paid-in capital balances were restated accordingly.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company determined that compensation expense for 2,250,000 stock warrants granted on May 26, 2009 was overstated as a result of overvaluing the warrants. The December 31, 2009 Form 10-K/A properly reflects this item. The net impact on this item increased net income and decreased additional paid-in capital by $51,970.
The Company determined that payment for unpaid compensation was incorrectly classified as a financing activity. The December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009 statements of cash flows were restated to reflect the proper classification of the payment for unpaid compensation as an operating activity. The Company determined that part of the cash received from discontinued operations of Digi-Data classified as operating activities should have been classified as investing activities. The December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the September 30, 2010 and 2009 statements of cash flows were restated to reflect the proper classification of cash received from discontinued operations of Digi-Data.
The following table presents the previously reported and the restated amounts included in the restatements:

Note 5 – Notes Receivable
In connection with a letter of intent the Company entered into with Allied Airbus, Inc. ("Allied") on July 20, 2010 to which both parties were unable to reach a mutually acceptable definitive agreement, the Company provided various loans to Allied totaling $439,012 at June 30, 2011, for which promissory notes were issued. The notes are personally guaranteed by the officers of Allied, bear interest at a rate of 6% and are due in one year.
Accrued interest on the notes was $20,358 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Note 6 - Earnings Per Common Share
The Company calculates net earnings (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share" ("ASC 260"). Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per common share was determined by dividing net earnings (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company's potentially dilutive shares, which include outstanding common stock options and common stock warrants, have not been included in the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share for all periods as the result would be anti-dilutive.
Stoc Stock options
Aver Common stock warrants
Basic Total shares excluded from calculation
Note 7 – Stock Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based award programs, including grants of stock options and warrants, is recorded in accordance with "Compensation—Stock Compensation", Topic 718 of the FASB ASC. Stock-based compensation expense, which is calculated net of estimated forfeitures, is computed using the grant date fair-value method on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for all stock awards that vest during the period. The grant date fair value for stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Determining the fair value of options at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected term that stock options will be outstanding prior to exercise, the associated volatility and the expected dividends. Stock-based compensation expense is reported under general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
In 2006, the Company adopted the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan"). Awards granted under the 2006 plan have a ten-year term and may be incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options or warrants. The awards are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant and generally vest over a three or four year period. Effective January 1, 2006, we recognized compensation expense ratably over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. As of June 30, 2011, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the 2006 plan.
The 2006 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase up to 5,510,000 shares of common stock. 5,213,100 options have been exercised to date. There are 2,468,900 options outstanding under the 2006 Plan.
Warrant activity during the six months ended June 30, 2011 follows:
Grant-Date Fair Value
Life (Years)
Warrants outstanding at January 1, 2011
No warrant activity
Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2011
Stock Option Plan activity during the six months ended June 30, 2011 follows:
Options outstanding at January 1, 2011
No option activity
Options outstanding at June 30, 2011
The fair value of warrants and options granted is estimated on the date of grant based on the weighted-average assumptions in the table below. The assumption for the expected life is based on evaluations of historical and expected exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. The calculated value method using the historical volatility of the Computer Services industry is used as the basis for the volatility assumption.
Weighted average risk-free rate
Average expected life in years
Expected dividends
Forfeiture rate
Note 8 – Common Stock Issued
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company issued 500,000 common shares in exchange for the asset acquisition of Jekyll Island Ventures Inc. by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gotham Innovation Labs Inc. Also, during the year ended December 31, 2009, options were exercised for 735,000 shares of common stock, valued at $.01 per share.
On December 2, 2009, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized common shares to 75,000,000.
Dividends may be paid on outstanding shares as declared by the Board of Directors from time to time. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.
Note 9 - Income Taxes
The tax provision at June 30 consists of the following:
From operations:
Continuing operations:
Current tax expense (benefit):
$(114,860)
$ (180,932)
State and local -- (48,133)
Deferred tax expense (benefit)
Total from continuing operations (114,860) (229,065)
Discontinued operations:
Current tax expense (benefit)
Deferred tax expense (benefit):
Total from discontinued operations 82,314 486,840
A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate and the effective tax rate follows:
Statutory tax rate
Effect of:
State income taxes, net of
federal income tax benefit
Tax effect of expenses that are not
deductible for income tax purposes (4.2)% (0.6)%
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. The differences relate primarily to net operating loss carryovers and to deferred compensation. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the currently enacted tax rates in effect during the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate.
The Company's provision for income taxes differs from applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The primary differences result from providing for state income taxes and from deducting certain expenses for financial statement purposes but not for federal income tax purposes.
In accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes, a valuation allowance is established based on the future recoverability of deferred tax assets. This assessment is based upon consideration of available positive and negative evidence, which includes, among other things, the Company's most recent results of operations and expected future profitability. Management has determined that no valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is necessary at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Note 10 - Retirement Plan
Gotham has adopted the Gotham Innovation Lab, Inc. SIMPLE IRA Plan, which covers substantially all employees. Participating employees may elect to contribute, on a tax-deferred basis, a portion of their compensation in accordance with Section 408 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company matches up to 3% of employee contributions. The Company's contributions to the plan for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $5,541 and $6,888, respectively.
Note 11 – Significant Customers
Sales of Gotham to four customers amounted to approximately 70% of Gotham's total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 at 31%, 28%, and 11%, respectively.
Note 12 – Risks and Uncertainties
Uninsured Cash Balances
Substantially all amounts of cash accounts held at financial institutions are insured by the FDIC.
Note 13 - Related Party Transactions
The Company provided loans to a stockholder totaling $17,000 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The loans bear interest at a rate of 6% and are due on December 31, 2011.
Accrued interest on the note was $506 for each of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Note Payable – Related Party
Gotham was provided loans from an entity that is controlled by the officers of Gotham totaling $25,390 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The note bears interest at a rate of 5.5% and is due on July 1, 2011.
Interest expense of $295 and $310 was charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Lease Commitment
iGambit Inc. entered into an operating lease for office space for a term of 12 months effective June 1, 2011. Monthly rent under the lease is $2,600.
Gotham has an operating lease for office space renewable annually on October 16 at a monthly rent of $5,500.
Rent expense of $48,600 and $43,100 was charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Note 14 – Commitments and Contingencies
The Company provides accruals for all direct costs associated with the estimated resolution of contingencies at the earliest date at which it is deemed probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such liability can be reasonably estimated.
Note 15 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding when to perform step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. The guidance modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test so that for those reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not based on an assessment of qualitative indicators that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2011, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-6, "Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements", which provides amendments to ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, including requiring reporting entities to make more robust disclosures about (1) the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, (2) the valuation techniques and inputs used, (3) the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements including information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis and (4) the transfers between Levels 1, 2, and 3. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures, which are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2011, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q which address activities, events or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), finding suitable merger or acquisition candidates, expansion and growth of the Company's business and operations, and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances.
Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include, among others, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results and expenses, government regulation, technology change and competition. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or operations. The Company assumes no obligations to update any such forward-looking statements.
Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements may require us to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. We do not currently have any estimates or assumptions where the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change or the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material, except as described below.
For certain of the our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Contingency payment income is recognized quarterly from a percentage of Digi-Data's vaulting service revenue, and is included in discontinued operations. Our revenues from continuing operations consist of revenues primarily from sales of products and services rendered to real estate brokers. Revenues are recognized upon delivery of the products or services.
We analyze the collectability of accounts receivable each accounting period and adjust our allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of accounts receivables, including the current
creditworthiness of each customer, current and historical collection history and the related aging of past due balances. We evaluate specific accounts when we become aware of information indicating that a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to deterioration of its financial condition, lower credit ratings, bankruptcy or other factors affecting the ability to render payment.
As of December 31, 2010, accounts receivable included 50% of contingency payments earned for the previous quarter. Reserve for bad debt of $250,000 was charged to operations for the year ended December 31, 2010. No reserve for bad debts was charged to operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Goodwill represents the fair market value of the common shares issued and common stock options granted by the Company for the acquisition of Jekyll by the Company's subsidiary, Gotham. In accordance with ASC Topic No. 350 "Intangibles — Goodwill and Other", the goodwill is not being amortized, but instead will be subject to an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test, and will be reviewed more frequently if current events and circumstances indicate a possible impairment. An impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. If indicators of impairment are present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the asset's carrying amount, an impairment loss is charged to expense in the period identified. A lack of projected future operating results from Gotham's operations may cause impairment.
At December 31, 2010, the Company performed an impairment study and determined that there is no indication that present and future cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company has not performed an impairment study during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Based on the Company's evaluation of goodwill, no impairment was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
We account for our stock-based employee compensation plan in accordance with ASC Topic No. 718-20, Awards Classified as Equity, which requires the measurement of compensation expense for all share-based compensation granted to employees and non-employee directors at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the related service period for awards expected to vest. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of our stock options and warrants. The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility of the Company's common stock. Changes in these subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate of our stock options and warrants.
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
We apply the provisions of ASC Topic No. 740 for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the Company's financial statements. In accordance with this provision, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position.
iGambit is a company focused on the technology markets. Our sole operating subsidiary, Gotham Innovation Lab, Inc., is in the business of providing media technology services to the real estate industry. During the year ended December 31, 2010 and during the six months ended June 30, 2011 Gotham produced approximately $850,222 and $889,344 of revenue, respectively. We are focused on expanding the operations of Gotham by marketing the company to existing and potential new clients. Currently Gotham has several proposals outstanding to franchisees of one of its main customers, as well as other potential new clients. . In addition to Gotham's operations, we were receiving Quarterly Revenue Share Payments and Annual Increase Payments from Digi-Data Corporation, which were payable pursuant to the terms of an agreement under which we sold certain assets to DDC in 2006. We earned $1,898,435 and $242,099 of Contingency Payments from DDC in the year ended December 31, 2010, and the six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. The agreement with DDC ended on February 28, 2011. We expect the balance of the amounts due to be paid during 2011. We are also focused on acquiring or partnering with additional technology companies.
Assets. At June 30, 2011, we had $2,191,512 in total assets, compared to $2,336,788 at December 31, 2010. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to the decrease in prepaid taxes as a result of the receipt of tax refunds.
Liabilities. At June 30, 2011, our total liabilities were $283,056 compared to $351,617 at December 31, 2010. Liabilities consist of accounts payable and a note payable to a related party. We do not have any long term liabilities. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily due to the decrease in the income tax provision.
Stockholders' Equity. Our stockholders' equity decreased to $1,908,456 at June 30, 2011 from $1,985,171 at December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in accumulated deficit from $(441,058) at December 31, 2010, to $(517,773) at June 30, 2011 resulting from the end of the contingency payments from Digi-Data Corp..
Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010
Revenues and Net Income. We had $477,441 of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $246,317 of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was due to revenue generated by our acquired subsidiary Gotham. In addition, we had no income from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $642,130 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and net loss of $122,235) for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $204,838 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Our decrease in revenue was due to the Digi-Data agreement ending on February 28, 2011.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and Administrative Expenses increased to $450,662 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $429,173 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 our General and Administrative Expenses consisted of corporate administrative expenses of $122,118, legal and accounting fees of $29,829 and payroll expenses of $298,715For the three months ended June 30, 2010 our General and Administrative Expenses consisted of corporate administrative expenses of $125,937, legal and accounting fees of $47,855 and payroll expenses of $255,381. The increases from the three months ended June 30, 2010 to the three months ended June 30, 2011 relate primarily to: (i) professional costs associated with the preparation and filing of a registration statement with the SEC; and (ii) costs associated with the operation of our Gotham subsidiary. Costs associated with the operation of our Gotham subsidiary should remain level going forward, subject to a material expansion in the business operations of Gotham which would likely increase our corporate administrative expenses. Further, we anticipated an increase in legal and accounting fees in 2011 as a result of having become a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 as Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010
Revenues and Net Income. We had $889,344 of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to $413,659 of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was due to revenue generated by our acquired subsidiary Gotham. In addition, we had income from discontinued operations of $242,099 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $1,207,287 for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and net loss of $(76,715) for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $361,024 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Our decrease in revenue was due to the Digi-Data agreement ending on February 28, 2011.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and Administrative Expenses increased to $903,061 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $858,740 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 our General and Administrative Expenses consisted of corporate administrative expenses of $231,439, legal and accounting fees of $92,651, initial public offering expenses of $15,000, and payroll expenses of $563,971. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 our General and Administrative Expenses consisted of corporate administrative expenses of $211,529, legal and accounting fees of $68,730, initial public offering expenses of $49,276, and payroll expenses of $529,205 The increases from the six months ended June 30, 2010 to the six months ended June 30, 2011 relate primarily to: (i) salaries for officers hired by the Company at the end of the 2nd quarter of 2009; (ii) professional costs associated with the preparation and filing of a registration statement with the SEC; and (iii) costs associated with the operation of our Gotham subsidiary. Costs associated with our officers' salaries and the operation of our Gotham subsidiary should remain level going forward, subject to a material expansion in the business operations of Gotham which would likely increase our corporate administrative expenses. Further, whereas the additional professional fees associated with the acquisition of Jekyll Island Ventures, Inc. will not carry over into future periods unless we engage in other acquisitions, we anticipated an increase in legal and accounting fees in 2011 as a result of having become a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, at June 30, 2011, we had $468,617 cash and stockholders' equity of $1,908,456. At June 30, 2011 we had $2,191,512 in total assets, compared to $2,336,788 at December 31, 2010.
Our primary capital requirements in 2011 are likely to arise from the expansion of our Gotham operations, and, in the event we effectuate an acquisition, from: (i) the amount of the purchase price payable in cash at closing, if any; (ii) professional fees associated with the negotiation, structuring, and closing of the transaction; and (iii) post closing costs. It is not possible to quantify those costs at this point in time, in that they depend on Gotham's business opportunities, the state of the overall economy, the relative size of any target company we identify and the complexity of the related acquisition transaction(s). We anticipate raising capital in the private markets to cover any such
costs, though there can be no guaranty we will be able to do so on terms we deem to be acceptable. We do not have any plans at this point in time to obtain a line of credit or other loan facility from a commercial bank.
While we believe in the viability of our strategy to improve Gotham's sales volume and to acquire companies, and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances that we will be able to fully effectuate our business plan.
We believe we will continue to increase our cash position and liquidity for the foreseeable future. We believe we have enough capital to fund our present operations
Cash Flow Activity
Cash used in operating activities was $341,169 for the first six months ending June 30, 2011, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $990,436 for the first six months ending June 30, 2010. Our primary source of operating cash flow for the six months ending June 30, 2011 was from prepaid expenses of $197,475, compared to net income of $361,024 for the six months ending June 30, 2010. The primary source of net income (loss) is income from discontinued operations totaling $159,785 for the six months ending June 30, 2011 (net of taxes of $82,314) compared to income from discontinued operations of $720,447 for the six months ending June 30, 2010 (net of taxes of $486,840). Income from discontinued operations is comprised solely of income from DDC contingency payments, which is classified as cash provided by discontinued investing activities. We receive Quarterly Revenue Share Payments and Annual Increase Payments from Digi-Data Corporation, which are payable pursuant to the terms of an agreement under which we sold certain assets to DDC in 2006. Revenue earned from DDC was $242,099 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. We received $330,000 in cash payments from DDC which was offset by a decrease in accounts receivable included in Assets from Discontinued Operations. Of the $1,207,287 revenue earned from DDC during the six months ended June 30, 2010, $1,008,733 was for the first two quarters Contingency Payments and $198,554 was accrued revenue for the 5% year to year Contingency Payment. $472,384 for the first quarter Contingency Payment was paid in May 2010, and the second quarter Contingency Payment was paid the first and second a quarter of 2011. The DigiData agreement ended on February 28, 2011
In addition to the DCC Contingency Payments, we receive revenue from the operation of our Gotham subsidiary, which operates the business we acquired from Jekyll Island Ventures, Inc. in 2009. We anticipate that Gotham's business and revenues will continue to grow throughout 2011. Gotham generated revenues of $413,659 and a net loss of $(359,423) for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and revenues of $863,829 and a net income of $116,582 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Cash provided by continuing and discontinuing investing activities was $14,237 and $330,000 respectively, for the first six months ending June 30, 2011 and cash provided by discontinuing investing activities was $1,066,822 for the six months ending June 30, 2010. The entire source of cash provided by discontinued investing activities is the DDC
contingency payments and the cash provided by continuing investing activities is cash flows from our Gotham subsidiary..
Cash provided by financing activities was $0 for the six months ending June 30, 2011 compared to cash used by financing activities of $34,058 for the six months ending June 30, 2010. The cash flow from financing activities in the first six months of fiscal 2010 was an increase in a loan payable to a related party from our subsidiary Gotham.
Supplemental Cash Flow Activity
In the six months ending June 30, 2011 the company paid income taxes of $13,940 compared to $384,934 for the six months ending June 30, 2010. The decrease in taxes was due to tax overpayments in 2010. The Company also paid interest of $1,372 during the first six months of fiscal year 2011 compared to . $480 during the first six months of fiscal year 2010.

Another Saville On The Roads. Watch Out!!!
I got a phone call tonight from Melinda who said to come outside and see something cool. I went out and low and behold there was my little niece Sarah behind the wheel of her mothers car. Yes it is true Sarah has her driving permit. In 6 short months she'll be a full fledge driver. Crazy huh!! It makes me feel old she was only 3 at my wedding. So for some of you it shouLd make you feel even older. Ha Ha!!
OH! I'm posting this because Sarah is also a very busy high school student and has no extra time to blog.
Yeah, when Nancy told me Natalie was driving I was shocked~how dare they get that old!
Fun times...although I wouldn't want to repeat it!

It's Not Always Easy to set up a Proper Software Simulation of a Complex System, but the Benefits of Doing so are Manifold.
Simulating machine, robot and process skid operation in software is the best way to test controller code, device settings and HMI configuration—short of actual connection to the completed system. And in many instances simulation is a more practical alternative to testing on an actual system for a variety of reasons ranging from the ability to prototype to the desire to maintain a safe environment by testing in software first.
When the complete machine, robot, skid or system isn't available for test, and sometimes even when it is, simulation can shorten the design cycle, improve performance and greatly reduce startup time. Table 1 lists some of the specific advantages of simulation.
Accurpress America in Rapid City, South Dakota, makes hydraulic press brakes and shears for fabricating sheet metal (Figure 1). Allen Guernsey, machine control development specialist at Accurpress, says the machines can be complicated. "Our current version of the PLC for the press brakes can handle 28 axes, and we can link machines together to work in tandem," he says. "Sometimes the press brakes and shears are parts of cells, and in these cases other machines arrive at the customer from different factories, so simulation is the only way to run the machines together prior to startup."
It's often much safer to simulate new operating regimes before testing them out on high-force machines like this hydraulic press brake.
Simulation has reduced the R&D time. "Being able to watch machine movement in a simulated environment has enabled better PLC code because, in simulations, more fail safes can be tested without risking machine crashes," explains Guernsey. "For example, I can simulate hydraulic cylinder characteristics, introducing errors like a stuck cylinder. So far, I have not run into anything that I could not simulate."
Accurpress uses Beckhoff Automation controllers and TwinCAT automation software. "With TwinCAT, the simulation of machine control is fundamental to the software's design," says Guernsey. The built-in simulation saves time and cuts cost because it's not necessary to buy a separate software simulation package, learn how to use it and integrate with the controller and its software.
Robotic machine tending and a robotic assembly process were simulated in this dual robot application. Robotic coordination and interaction, automatic sequence, overall cycle time and machine footprint were verified through simulation.
Dave Perkon, vice president of advanced technology at AeroSpec, a machine builder in Chandler, Arizona, also uses simulation software from robot suppliers. "Most of the top robot suppliers have simulation software," he says. AeroSpec designs and builds a variety of discrete manufacturing equipment, ranging from lean assembly stations to high-speed robotic assembly and handling systems (Figure 2).
"During the concept and quoting stage, simulation software helps keep a project moving in the right direction and keeps the customer engaged as their requirements come to life," notes Perkon. "If the actual equipment doesn't meet the simulation results, it indicates the program needs more work."
And, once the system is designed, some simulators create code. "Although there are configuration differences, the end product from many of these simulation packages are directly downloadable software programming to the robot," Perkon explains.
Phoenix Contact offers SafeConf safety configuration software that allows hardware simulation direct from the programming software. "When designing automation, it's important to ensure the functionality of safety systems, most notably on machine startup and validation," says Zachary Stank, product marketing specialist. "Simulation allows you to walk through the startup process step by step before hardware is engaged to ensure all safety logic is functioning properly."
CMD in Appleton, Wisconsin, manufactures high-performance converting equipment for the blown-film and flexible package converting industry. Its equipment includes high-speed rotary drawtape trash bag lines, pre-made pouch equipment, film and bag winders, and end-of-line packaging automation.
"We typically integrate Yamaha robotics into our automation cells," says Chris White, engineering project manager for automation for CMD, which was evaluating a project that would require sorting of different products coming into a single robotic cell. The different products arrive at the automation system in random patterns, random orientation and variable rates. The equipment supplying the product also ran at different cycle rates.
"We needed to determine if we could meet the maximum cycle rate of both lines feeding into the automation system, with extra capacity to handle surges or manually introduced products," White explains. "We worked with Neff Engineering and Yamaha Robotics to accomplish this. We started by explaining expected rates of the lines feeding the automation; incoming conveying speeds; pick window for the robot; drop locations of the various products and the type of end-of-arm tooling for the robot. We agreed that an actual simulation would be the best method for determining the max cycle rates."
White sent drawings, diagrams and other information to Yamaha Robotics, and engineers at Yamaha set up a simulation in the test lab. The simulation was done with an actual Yamaha robot, controller and software. Once a simulation was up and running, CMD sent an electrical engineer to spend time with them, and CMD and Yamaha engineers worked together to fine-tune the system.
"The program routine was written to model the moves required," says White. "We simulated delays for gripper actuation, product settling and any other process delays that might happen in a real-world environment."
CMD learns how the simulation is being performed, asks questions, learns software techniques involved, provides feedback on where the simulation may have shortcomings, adjusts for any shortcomings and determines how to optimize the system further. Yamaha engineers improve their knowledge of CMD's processes, learn new applications and use this information for future product improvements.
Simulation saves CMD time and money. "Off-line simulation allows us to confirm the system can meet certain requirements prior to designing the integration," White explains. "This reduces modifications that may be required once the machine is in the build and test phases. It reduces lead times and costs because we know the system will work before designing it. We also determine any changes required to optimize the equipment."
Richard Clark, third-party product support engineer at InduSoft, explains how its customers use HMI software simulation capabilities. "It's common practice for machine builders using InduSoft Web Studio to create a simulated environment to approximate the actual process or machinery. The advantages of creating a process control or machine simulation is implementation in a safe environment without exposing workers to safety-related issues. It also doesn't expose the production lines to potential disruptions or contamination while new technology is being introduced."
Although simulation provides many benefits, it's not without challenges (Table 2). Simulation packages aren't perfect. "One of the most common challenges I've come across with various simulation packages is the simulation shutting down if there are any errors," says Tim Malyszko, director of operations at Malisko Engineering, a system integrator in St. Louis. "In other words, if a simulated device points to a tag that does not exist in the physical or simulated controller, the whole simulation dies." You also have to know your tools. "Simulation software isn't very intuitive to use and requires a substantial learning curve," he adds.
Simulations aren't always accurate. "There have been times when our actual robotic equipment did not meet the simulated robot cycle time," notes AeroSpec's Perkon. "Adjustments to the robot motion profile, and adjusting approach and departure motion profiles, are usually required in the real world. Simulation doesn't clearly duplicate the real world perfectly."
InduSoft's Clark agrees. "The main challenges in creating or using simulated environments is accurately modeling and reproducing the operating conditions where the process, machine or robot will be finally integrated."
Research is being conducted on innovative methods to master the complexity of machine control at the Institute for Machine Tools and Industrial Management at the Technische Universität München in Munich, Germany. Work was done on the Robobox system, a machine developed by Krones. Researchers use simulation and modeling to design and test algorithms to optimize the control of a packaging and palletizing station.
In the Robobox, the grouping station takes a continuous stream of containers and groups them together in a pallet format specified by the customer. One of the biggest challenges during this process is making sure the flow of materials is consistently supplied.
Synchronizing several kinematic movements while handling various fluctuating material flow conditions exerts enormous demands on the control technology. For this reason, new control concepts are being developed for the Robobox to improve its overall timing with regard to incoming materials. The quality of these new concepts is then checked in advance through the use of various simulation methods.
One approach is known as virtual commissioning. In this process, system control functions are tested in a simulation model at the same time as the mechanical and electrical functions. The Technische Universität München integrates physics-based simulation directly into the virtual commissioning process.
In addition to containing the necessary geometric data, the physics-based model also includes information such as mass, center of gravity and friction coefficients to map the physical behavior of a particular component.
In addition to providing better simulation results, physics-based methods quickly and easily produce models. In this process, the actual design data is converted into a physical model that can be calculated in real time. The geometric model produced from 3D CAD data is used to create a collision model that can be migrated into a physical model.
To achieve a simulation that can be executed, the final step integrates the physical model into the simulation environment. The system model is then transferred directly to the controller as a "hardware in the loop" model. During this process, the simulation models, actual control components and the development environments are linked together via PowerLink.
Automatic code generation provided by Automation Studio Target for Simulink from B&R Automation combines the simulation with the control environment. The controller code generated is integrated into the control project along with the necessary program libraries. This allows the system model and functions to be transferred to the development process without excess effort.
Bill Savela, marketing director for Delta Computer Systems, sums it up. "A simulator must provide results that are true to the actual hardware," he says. "While simulation can provide valuable information prior to installation, it's not the real system. Tasks like final tuning, verifying sequence of operation and ringing out wiring are still required."
Simulations are becoming a major part of control system development. Many vendors, such as robot manufacturers and control software suppliers ,are building simulation capabilities into their systems because they realize the value it provides. As Daymon Thompson, TwinCAT product specialist at Beckhoff puts it, "Software and hardware suppliers in the automation industry are aware of the advantages and the power of simulation, and embrace it as core to machine design."
Sandia National Laboratories studies the effects of various fuels used in diesel engines in the Alternative Fuels Laboratory located at the Combustion Research Facility in Livermore, California. The lab analyzes the combustion of many different fuel types, and tuning the fuel control and monitoring system for differences in the fuel's viscosity and compressibility was taking too much time, so Sandia turned to off-line automation system simulation. Samuel Fairbanks, R&D laboratory support technologist, is now able to simulate the system before a test and make appropriate tuning changes ahead of time.
"Simulating the operation of our high-pressure fuel system using MathCAD allows me to verify hardware requirements for mechanical design of our high-pressure fuel system," says Fairbanks. "It also aids in tuning the system for different fuels by allowing me to adjust PID coefficients in the model, making it possible to get very close to the actual values needed. Being able to tune the system more quickly also reduces component wear, which is accelerated at high pressures."
The high-pressure fuel system consists of two diaphragm pumps each driven by a hydraulic cylinder. These are controlled using feedback from SSI position transducers using a Delta Computer Systems control system with dual-axis and other I/O modules. The control system modulates hydraulic flow to the cylinders via proportional control valves.
"Multiple pressure transducers for each pump monitor oil and fuel pressure, and discrete signal inputs adjust system gains on the fly based on changes during operation," explains Fairbanks. "All of the I/O modules are connected to a Delta RMC75E motion controller, and the controller is in turn networked via Ethernet to a PC running a custom Python program that monitors and controls many other systems in our laboratory."
Each pump has a cascaded PID control loop controlling the fuel pressure by adjusting the speed of the hydraulic cylinder stroke. The PID control loop also keeps oil pressure in the diaphragm pump in check, which can spike if the stroke length is too great or frequency is too high.
"I have to retune parts of the system every time we change fuels," adds Fairbanks. "We are constantly studying different fuels, so this happens frequently. Being able to streamline this process with simulation is a huge benefit."
Sandia uses the RMC simulator from Delta, a built-in function within the RMCTools software used to program the controller. "It simulates the movement of the hydraulic cylinders, driving the diaphragm pumps and their response under pressure conditions I specify," notes Fairbanks. "This is a vital tool, allowing me to see how the system will respond under specific conditions."
Fairbanks can even create hypothetical problems. "I can feed modified pressure data from previous runs and create conditions such as fuel pressure overshoot, oil pressure spikes and others to see if the control program I wrote makes the cylinders respond correctly," he says. "It's a very useful way to test the logic of the program, and I've continued to use the simulator while trying to optimize the programming or add new functionality."
While the simulator works well, it wasn't easy to set up. "Our high-pressure fuel system is extremely complex, which made creating a numerical simulation as realistic and accurate as possible both tedious and time consuming," explains Fairbanks. "It can be difficult to accurately model some of the interactions between hardware and fluid components during our extreme operating conditions."
It took a little over a month to build the model, and the major issues were trying to accurately simulate interactions between hardware and the fluids, both oil and fuel. "In the end, we were able to create a simulation that captured all aspects of final system implementation," says Fairbanks.
As for future improvements, "Providing more user-friendly tools to record data during system operation, and ways to interface this data with simulation tools to make adjustments or corrections in a simulation to use during further development, would be invaluable," concludes Fairbanks.
But simulation is not quite a walk in the park. Setting one up can be difficult. And if the simulation isn't a very close match to a real system, it won't be very useful.
Despite these difficulties, simulation benefits outweigh the challenges in many applications, particularly those where testing on live equipment isn't feasible, safe or convenient.

Is Fibromyalgia Genetic?
It Is... and it Isn't
Is Fibromyalgia Genetic is a question that gets asked by those suffering from this illness and hoping for a way to explain their problems. While Fibromyalgia Has been shown to run in families- particularly in mothers and daughters- it could be genetically related in ways that we'll talk more about below, however, fibromyalgia is a SYMPTOM and not a 'disease', so the real question to ask is not "is fibromyalgia genetic", but "what solutions are there so that I can overcome my symptoms?"
"The exposure of a genetically predisposed individual
to a host of environmental stressors is presumed
to lead to the development of FMS."
The genetics of fibromyalgia syndrome
If you read the above quote again, you'll see that it's really just nonsense. You could use the exact same statement for any and every disease or condition that there is. The author is making a true statement of every disease that ever was and ever will be- that disease arises through the interaction of genes and the environment.
The MTHFR Gene
One gene that has been identified in a higher number of people with Fibromyalgia than in the rest of the population is the MTHFR Gene (1)(2). MTHFR is short for the Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene, and is quickly becoming identified in a vast array of health issues. It is NOT, in any way 'specific' to fibromyalgia and so is not a 'fibromyalgia genetic' connection, so to speak; it's much more complicated than that.
The MTHFR Gene is responsible for a vast array of processes in the body, including detoxification, the creation of specific enzymes and so much more. Because it's involved in such a wide array of processes, it's presence has been related to just about every chronic health condition you can think of, not just fibromyalgia.
And considering this gene is present in up to 33% of the entire population, it's worthwhile for almost everyone with any chronic health condition to go the VERY affordable route of getting a genetic test through 23andMe to see if they have the MTHFR Gene, or some of the other genes that are being identified as important contibutors to chronic illness. While finding genes for illnesses is usually pronounces one unable to change their situation, the MTHFR has some real solutions in lifestyle that can dramatically improve your health.
Gluten and Fibromyalgia
While Gluten Sensitivity is a controversial topic these days, with many calling the recent rise of gluten-free diets a 'fad', it's only people who do not look at the research that can't see this diet as a potentially powerful tool for the improvement in chronic illnesses.
Fibromyalgia is no exception, and there have been studies showing that Celiac Disease, the 'full-blown', medically-recognized form of gluten sensitivity is present in Fibromyalgia patients at rates almost SEVEN TIMES higher than the rest of the population! (3) Additionally, Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity could be a big problem as well, even though it's less-recognized as a true medical issue.
However, this exclusion of non-traditional gluten issues from the diagnosis of fibromyalgia is a big mistake, and recent studies are coming to light that genes known as Haptoglobin (phenotypes HP 1- and 2) could very well be responsible for an incidence of gluten sensitivity of up to 15% of the population! The genetic mutation codes for a protein that produces a substance called Zonulin in the presence of gluten, creating Leaky Gut Syndrome. (4). We already know that this gene is correlated in those with some of the many autoimmune diseases. Will studies show a Fibromyalgia Genetic correlation in the future? I suspect they will.
Fibromyalgia Genetic Connection
Stress and Nutrients
More and more research is being done into the science of 'epigenetics'. Epigenetics is the science of HOW the environment - including specific nutrients- acts upon the genes in order to CONTRIBUTE to disease. The answer to, "Is Fibromyalgia Genetic ?" is YES- it is the sum total of how YOUR genes interact with your environment. And the way that fibromyalgia patients interact with their environment is often interesting and leads to more solutions than could ever be found in any study of a fibromyalgia genetic connection!
"…those who think, correctly, that autism
[or Fibromyalgia, or diabetes, etc.] is a
genetic disease, stop thinking after that,
reasoning that genetic diseases are untreatable.
Such thinkers do not understand epigenetics (upon the genome).
Vitamin D is probably the heart of epigenetics,
as nothing works upon the genome like vitamin D.
Dr. John Cannell of the Vitamin D Council
An acute experience of stress is the one Fibromyalgia Cause that most people will agree upon. But where opinion diverges is that Stress and Fibromyalgia contributes to many of the Symptoms of Fibromyalgia and that it causes the problems that include:
Adrenal Gland Fatigue
Increased Intestinal Permeability
Intestinal Bacterial Infections
which then leads to a CASCADE of problems that causes stress hormone production, nutrient depletion and inflammation. These processes then act on genes in particular ways turning them on or off. An excess of stress hormones on a particular gene will give particular results. In one person, it might contribute to heart disease, in another person diabetes, and another Fibromyalgia.
Interestingly, as the above quote by Dr. Cannell alludes to, specific substances on genes, called 'Vitamin D Receptors' or VDR's- which are explained in greater detail on the Vitamin D Facts page- are present in the genes of nearly every organ and part in the human body. This is why the Symptoms of Vitamin D Deficiency can involve nearly every organ system and disease imaginable.
While researchers are spending tons of money every year to learn more about the Fibromyalgia genetic connection, the use of Vitamin D and Fibromyalgia as a genetic manipulator has been virtually ignored!! But even though most doctors and researchers are CLUELESS about the genetics of Fibromyalgia, YOU can use your mind and your environment as genetic manipulators to help you to turn on and off genes that cause you problems.
In fact, you have ALREADY BEEN doing that- you just need to learn to turn it around so that you are using this to your ADVANTAGE, instead of your DISADVANTAGE. You can use it to create HEALTH instead of ILLNESS. You DO have control of your genes- whether you like it or not or whether you believe this or not- and you CAN use them to improve your Fibromyalgia.
Learning more about the connections between:
Vitamin D and Fibromyalgia
Stress and Fibromyalgia
Ribose and Fibromyalgia
Magnesium and Fibromyalgia
to see how these all have interacted with your genes in order to make you sick- and then you will be able to have better control over how these environmental issues have contributed to your Symptoms of Fibromyalgia and use these 'Epigenetic Manipulators' to turn things around.
So, while researchers will officially say that Fibromyalgia occurs in a 'Familial Aggregate', this is really meaningless if you are actually trying to find a SOLUTION to your fibromyalgia. And if you weren't born with fibromyalgia, then you CAN affect your genes to improve your condition. Even when Fibromyalgia in Children is diagnosed, this does NOT mean that is is 'Genetic', only that it's 'Epigenetic'.

Scientists explore exotic species of legumes as potential alternative sources for human and animal nutrition
09/18/2018 / By Edsel Cook
The Vigna genus has generously provided us with a number of nutritious and tasty legumes (including adzuki beans, cowpeas, and mung beans) that have become fairly important food crops in many parts of the world. Tanzanian researchers believe that the remaining non-domesticated members of the large family of legumes are potentially significant sources of human food and animal feed.
Food security is a global issue. The world's food producers cannot grow enough to meet the needs of the rapidly growing population. The production problem is exacerbated by many other issues such as corruption, lack of storage and transportation infrastructure, and natural disasters like droughts that reduce fertility and crop yield.
Furthermore, increasing amounts of acreage that used to grow food fit for human consumption is now being used to produce feed for increasingly valuable livestock. The result is mass malnutrition in the poorer areas of the world, where people cannot get enough energy and protein from what little food they do have access to.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that humans depend on just four crop species to provide half of the calories they get from edible plants. Any serious crisis that affects even just one of these crops can potentially cripple the global food supply. (Related: Global food security at risk as crop biodiversity is lost.)
Wild members of legume genus could be key to improving global food security
Researchers are seeking out edible plants that could serve as new sources of human food or animal feedstock. A research team from the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NMAIST) in Tanzania turned their attention to the Vigna genus of legumes.
Vigna is comprised of more than 100 individual species of legumes, which are grown as food crops throughout Asia and Africa. Adzuki beans, in particular, are considered to be very nutritious, while cowpeas and black-eyed peas are important sources of protein for Africans, and black grams and mung beans are widely cultivated in South Asia and Southeast Asia.
However, the domesticated Vigna species only make up a small fraction of the genus. There are still more than 90 wild species that have been generally ignored in favor of exploiting their far more established cousins.
Due to this myopia, little is known of the wild legumes. The ignorance must be amended by new studies that target the most promising candidates.
Domestication and cross-breeding
The NMAIST study brought up two possible approaches for any wild member of the Vigna genus that showed potential as a food crop. The first and obvious one is domestication. Given the domesticated legumes started out as wild plants themselves, it is no great leap of logic to guess that the still-wild members could be cultivated.
Increasing the number of edible plant species would improve the robustness of the food supply. The best outcome is if the new food crop can be grown in climate and terrain that normally would not support crops.
For example, cowpeas and black-eyed peas can grow in the sandy soils prevalent throughout Africa. So they do not compete with other food crops that require less hostile conditions.
The second means by which a wild Vigna species could benefit global food security is by providing genetic data to improve existing crops. A wild legume could be cross-bred with its domesticated relative to produce hybrid plants with improved characteristics such as greater yield or higher resistance to disease.

Madame Xanadu Volume 1: Disenchanted
Scott VanderPloeg
I'm an on and off Matt Wagner fan: his drawing I usually enjoy but his storytelling as a writer has me on the fence. When he started Madame Xanadu I thumbed the first few issues but couldn't commit; now that the first ten issues are collected as Madame Xanadu: Disenchanted. Here's the publisher's blurb:
The first ten issues of the hit series from writer Matt Wagner and rising star artist Amy Reeder Hadley are collected in this new trade paperback! Madame Xanadu's powers of sight can change the course of human history, but her vision is clouded when she looks into herself. Thrown into worlds of war and men, she encounters a dark stranger who knows both her past and future. This debut volume reveals Madame Xanadu's centuries spanning origin from Camelot to the court of Kubla Khan to 1940s New York City and beyond… Featuring an introduction by James Robinson (STARMAN). 240 pg.
This is a fresh look at a rarely used character through the eyes of Matt Wagner. This story arc leads us through Madame Xanadu's life beginning in Arthurian England up to today. She encounters the Phantom Stranger and begins a life intertwined with his appearances. After losing her faerie powers she's on her own in the world; luckily she knows how to use magic in its various forms to make a life for herself. We follow her from Camelot to Khan's China, the French Revolution, Victorian London, New York. Each period she plays a role in history, always through the Phantom Stranger's involvement. It's a love-hate relationship that does a good job of weaving a time-spanning tale.
Madame Xanadu as a character is rich and multifaceted, brought to life by Wagner. The dialogue and storyline play out well and keep you turning the pages. Amy Reeder Hadley has a clean and Asian influenced art style: she draws the main character beautifully and the covers are wonderful. I found her other characters, especially men, to be not as well defined. The art waned at times and I found it to be quite static. Minor complaints that didn't detract from the overall experience.
A great re-imaging of a relatively unknown character. Vertigo offers issue 1 as a download if you'd like to sample the merchandise.
