Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
Diverticula are saccular evaginations of urinary bladder mucosa that are encountered in all age groups with a prevalence of 1% to 10%. Intradiverticular neoplasms pose diagnostic and management challenges. The aim of this study was to document the common morphologic changes and neoplasms found in a large series of adult and pediatric vesical diverticula. A total of 174 diverticula from 133 patients were reviewed including 48 pediatric (mean age, 7.1 years) and 85 adult (mean age, 63.93 years); 92% were male. Of the 85 nonneoplastic cases, prominent morphologic findings included significant chronic inflammation (59), granulomatous inflammation including foreign body giant cell reaction (6), acute inflammation (7), squamous metaplasia (9), cystitis glandularis (10), and nephrogenic metaplasia (2). The pediatric cases showed no malignancy. Thirty-three of the 48 neoplastic cases had high-grade urothelial carcinoma, 4 had carcinoma in situ, 7 had low-grade papillary urothelial carcinoma, 2 had primary squamous cell carcinoma, 1 had primary melanoma, and 1 had urothelial dysplasia. Nine of the neoplastic cases had variant morphology. Diverticula from 31 cases were involved by primary tumors, of which 6 had coexisting intravesical neoplasia (3 had carcinoma in situ with invasion elsewhere). In 19 of 33 high-grade urothelial carcinomas, infiltration into adjacent fat was noted. Seven of these cases arose within diverticula. Diverticula may harbor neoplasms, most commonly urothelial carcinoma. Attenuation of the muscle layer associated with diverticulum formation may facilitate tumor invasion into peridiverticular soft tissues. It is emphasized that pT2 stage should be eliminated to avoid the confusion in staging these neoplasms.

International Trade and Investment in times of a pandemic
Given the current spread of this virus and the pace and complexity of international travel, the number of cases and deaths will likely continue to climb. The prognosis of the disease will dictate the prognosis of the industries it is impacting.
International trade and investment have been impacted due to this economic slowdown albeit decision making is expected to resume once there is more visibility on the severity and geographical intensity of Covid-19.
India however, because of its geo-political location, remains a preferred destination for travel, trade and investment. The Indian economy can only brace for impact in the coming months.
At T&A Consulting the safety of its employees is paramount. A health advisory has been issued to all team members to work from home, restrict all non-essential business travel and switch to virtual meeting platforms to enable smooth business transactions.

Proven excellence for government
National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTIS developed the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program – Enterprise System (CTEP-ESYS), which includes more than 20 applications that support cancer clinical trials. It collects data on 1,500 ongoing cancer clinical trials and monitors more than 30,000 patients per year, in more than 17 disease areas. CTIS also worked on automating the IRB approval process for the Central Institutional Review Board (CIRB).
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) We built the Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome – Enterprise System (DAIDS-ES) that provides an informatics track to more than 300 new international performance sites conducting AIDS trials. The sites are located in 27 countries, 20 of which are developing countries with a total of 3,000 users. CTIS has also worked with the DAIDS – Regulatory Support Center (DAIDS–RSC) for management of consulting and informatics applications for HIV/AIDS patients.
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) CTIS developed a pilot application (mWarrior) with Raydon Corporation for implementation at the VA/DoD. The application focuses on improving early detection, screening, and treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and mild traumatic brain injury among war veterans.
National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) CTIS has been awarded a grant to build the Transdisciplinary Coordination Center (TCC) as defined by The Health Policy Research Consortium (HPRC) Program. The purpose of the center is to limit disparities in healthcare among social, ethnic, and racial groups in the DC, MD, and VA areas. In particular, this project will focus on the ways in which health policies influence access to adequate and affordable healthcare.
National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) CTIS developed a web-based clinical database system to assist the intramural program in managing data and coordinating clinical studies for four of its branches: Hematology, Cardiology, Pulmonary, and Critical Care. Our system is compliant with industry standards, such as the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) and 21 CFR Part 11.
National Health Information Network (NHIN) CTIS implemented and integrated more than 25 software components through our managed hosting environment for North Carolina Healthcare Information and Communications Alliance (NCHICA) and MedVA. Our perspective was represented in the prototype implementation for the NHIN1 (prototype architecture) and the NHIN2 (trial implementation).


Chariot Oil & Gas Limited is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Enigma Oil & Gas Exploration (Pty) Limited, has commenced drilling the first well, 1811/5-1, of its 4 to 5 well drilling programme offshore Namibia. Drilling operations began this morning on the Tapir South prospect using the Maersk Deliverer semi-submersible drilling rig, with Chariot as Operator.
The prospect has a 25% Chance of Success and a mean un-risked prospective resource potential of 604 million barrels of oil. In the event of success, the results of this well will significantly increase the Chance of Success on certain of the Company�s other prospects within the Tapir Trend.
Tapir South (1811/5-1) will be only the second well ever to be drilled in the Namibe Basin. It is located 80km offshore Namibia in the Company�s northern block 1811A, in which Chariot has a 100% equity interest. The well is being drilled to an estimated total vertical depth subsea of 5,100m and, as announced following the Placing of 20 March 2012, this will now include extended drilling time to ensure that one of the deeper identified targets is drilled and fully evaluated. This deeper target is believed to be a carbonate section, age equivalent to the reservoir in recent sub-salt discoveries in the on-trend Kwanza basin offshore Angola. The drilling and logging operations are expected to take approximately 70 days and a further announcement will be made when the well results are known.
The Tapir South prospect is part of the Tapir Trend where three prospects have been identified on a large ridge formed by a rotated fault block containing the potential carbonate target, draped by deep marine sediments with turbidite sandstone levels forming a stack of overlying targets. Tapir South is the southernmost of three culminations on the ridge and forms a focal point for charge migration from an adjacent basin in which excellent oil prone source rocks are believed to be present and currently generating oil. The second well to be drilled in the Chariot exploration programme, Kabeljou (2714/6-1), targeting the Nimrod prospect is now likely to spud earlier than previously reported. The Operator has informed Chariot that it now expects to secure a drilling unit in Q3 2012.


Kakeroma, Amami island in Japan is climate resembling Hawaii.
Their place is an amazing beautiful place.
I was living in Amami island in Japan last 4 years before in Oregon.
I have been making my art since 2011 in Amami island, and Umiyado 5mile is very very supporting me always. I was painting their hostel's sign and murals.
And I made Umiyado 5mile original towels of two designs made by Katazome & Indigo.
If you will put two towel together, you can make one big 5mile's art.
One day I was dying Indigo these towels, I thought the beautiful life I was there.
These were such a looks like swimming in the beautiful ocean.
In water during I was dying indigo.
If you will go to Japan, Please contact them.
I promise you will be able to have amazing experience at Umiyado 5mile.
Thank you so much for giving me many opportunities to be an artist.
I respect & love you all.

MLK's nephew helps MCCC celebrate
January 14, 2019 6:17 pm by Maya Gaynier
Dr. Derek Barber King speaks at MCCC to honor his late uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dr. Derek Barber King, the nephew of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., spoke at MCCC about the importance of equality and creating social change.
"Martin said 'We as a people will get to the promised land.' He didn't say black folks are gonna get there. We as a people; America still has a promise to live up to. All men, generically, are created equal," King said.
King spoke in the La-Z-Boy Center Meyer Theater on Jan. 14. The event was in celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, which was Jan. 15. King was also at the Arthur Lesow Community Center in Monroe at 6 p.m. for a panel discussion.
"I am guided by the Holy Spirit when it comes to addressing people this time of the year, because of a fellow acknowledgement of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. And I'm in his family," King said to introduce his speech.
King's father worked with his older brother, Martin Luther King Jr., on civil rights actions. King's father was with Martin Luther King Jr. when he was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., in 1968. At the time, Derek King was just 14 years old.
King conducts workshops and seminars on creating social change through nonviolent strategies and tactics. He works to end discrimination, racism, oppression, and violence. King is a certified conflict resolution coach in regard to the discipline of Kingian Nonviolence.
King has a bachelor's degree in religious studies, a master of divinity degree, and doctor of divinity degrees from three colleges. King was a professor of religious studies for 19 years at Martin University in Indianapolis and a minister at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, before retiring in May.
King emphasized the importance of Martin Luther King Jr.'s death for the civil rights movement.
"When Martin Luther King Jr. physically was removed from the human experience, those who plotted to have his death become a reality underestimated that decision, that action, and its outcome. They thought it was over," King said.
"But they had made Martin Luther King Jr. become more powerful than they could imagine. Streets, thoroughfares, buildings, intersections, a national holiday, a permanent monument in Washington D.C.: all bearing his name. And many of them in his image. They have made him more powerful than they can imagine."
King speaks about the importance of equality and human rights.
However, King said that this outcome was not what Martin Luther King Jr. intended.
"His intention was for people of conscience, color, commitment, and faith to own up to the fact that America will not be what she says she is on paper until what she wrote on paper becomes reality," said King.
Despite the progress that Martin Luther King Jr. made, King stressed that there is still more progress needed.
"People who love human rights, justice, equality, we still got some work to do," said King.
"We have been race-labeling for too long."
Additionally, King also spoke about the progress that can be made in politics.
"I vote for people who are gonna do the right thing and represent the Constitution in its purity. Politically, we got some work to do," King said.
King made an additional comment about politics.
"Something is wrong, when people who we have elected, who get into a debate over some positions, and end up having almost a million people work without getting paid: that is wrong."
King said that people have been fighting over skin color for too long and have put up barriers and walls against each other. However, he said that people need to realize that people are created equal.
"We might've come over on different boats, but we're on the same shore now. Wherever I go, I'm gonna see you. And wherever you go, you gonna see me."
King concluded by telling about his grandmother's quilts, made from found colorful fabric swatches. The quilts had many different swatches, but she used one common thread throughout.
"If we as a people are gonna get to the promised land, my friends, you got to understand that we black folk can't do it by ourselves. White folk can't do it by themselves. Straight folks. Gay folks. Educated folks. Uneducated folks," he said.
"But when God binds us heart to heart, breast to breast, knowing it was out of one blood that God created every man to dwell on the face of the earth, it will speed up the date. As Martin said, 'Black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, can all join hands, say free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.' "

The festive season is upon us, and here's yet another occasion to celebrate with a Wok!
While each of the 9 days of Navratri bring with it a burst of colour, we're adding our own flavour to spice things up. For every colour of the day, there's a corresponding Wok of the Day. Scroll on below to take a 'Wok' through our Navratri festivities.
Confused? Don't be. With a hint of the traditional coconut flavour, the Thai spices and basil are whipped together with your favourite base – rice/noodles – and voila! A Wok that's fit for 'royal'ty! Best enjoyed with Chicken Wings or Chilli Paneer.
Yellow equals all things light and zesty, just like our Kung Pao sauce! Dig into a bowl of Asian goodness for a refreshing delight, paired with the Sriracha Surprise Dumpling.
It's Friday and it's time to celebrate! Gulp down a refreshing glass of Bubble Tea, or bite into a dumpling or two – there's so much to choose from on our extensive menu!
While people's feelings about the shade are quite a grey area (excuse the pun), we're fairly sure how people feel about this Wok! Everyone's favourite, this classic meal is sure to spice up any 'grey' moment in your day. Even though it's enjoyed best on its own, a Hot Crispy Garlic Mushroom Bao on the side never did any harm.
A burst of the bright colour that is orange, is only best replicated by the burst of flavour that is the Teriyaki sauce! Add this unique Japanese sauce to your Chinese rice/noodles bowl for a hint of sweet and smoky tones. Pair this with the Assorted Vegetable Dumpling.
The brightest hue brings a refreshing view, similar to the Bali Coconut Curry. Basil leaves and lemongrass add just the right tang to the authentic coconut base present in the Chinese Rice bowl. Spice it up with the Crispy Baby Corn and Water Chestnut.
A fiery taste to accompany the fiery look of the day! The newly launched Desi Chilli is perfect for lovers of all things spicy. Be warned, these Value Woks are so packed with flavour, you can't stop at just one! Wash the spice down with the Mango Basil Bubble Tea.
This time, we're playing the game of contrasts! Contrast a soothing, peaceful colour with a flavour that's anything but that. The Hot Crispy Garlic sauce has a slight, almost negligible hint of sweetness, combined with a spicy garlic taste, and is NOT for the faint-hearted. Wash the spice down on this one with the Minty Mojito Bubble Tea.
We're going out with a 'Bang'! Don't worry, we're toning down the spice in this one. Made from capsicum, curry and chilli paste, this medium spicy sauce is sure to be enjoyed by one and all. Tastes best when served with a Chilli Paneer Bao at the side.
And that concludes our 'Wok' through Navratri! Tell us below, which one of these eight is your favourite, and why?
Team Wok Express wishes you and your loved ones an abundance of joy, happiness and warmth this festive season.

The Large Hadron Collider Is Back At It Again!
Above: A section of the LHC interior
The Large Hadron Collider is beginning its third operational run, after a maintenance period of four years. The Switzerland-based facility is the largest particle collider in the world and the site where the Higgs Boson particle was first observed in 2012. The LHC is operated by CERN, or the European Organization for Nuclear Research, an association of European states that runs a handful of particle accelerators across the continent, with the Large Hadron Collider at the center. The full length of the collider is massive, running about 17 miles in circumference.
The last four years has seen various upgrades implemented into the facility, mainly to outfit the collider with higher-intensity beams and a new data collection system. These upgrades will aid in investigating the universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry, as well as dark matter properties. All this will take place during the collider's third operational run, which is expected to last the next four years.
Will running the collider open a wormhole in our reality? Probably not, since we've been just fine the last two times. It has, however, been an incredible resource in understanding the building blocks of physics! Who knows what exciting advances in our understanding of the fabric of the universe we'll discover in that time?

Earth's Core is Slowing Down, But Don't Worry!
T. Rex Keeps Its Crown


Hi guys, i've a optimus laptop and it isn't functioning as well as it could. I've been recommended to use the 2.6.39 kernel. Would there be any issues upgrading to this kernel since it's unsupported?
I have tried the 2.6.39 kernel just for fun (I don't have Optimus) and it worked fine on my machine.
Have you tried the 2.6.38.4 kernel? This is available in the "testing/packages/" directory of the slackware source. It is already compiled and ready for installation.
Last edited by piratesmack; 07-07-2011 at 07:17 AM.
I'm using the 39.2 on my 13.1, and I have no problem with it.
Thanks piratesmack for pointing out that guide, and thanks Eric for providing it. I've followed it and now have the 2.6.39.3 kernel booting into runlevel 3. startx fails when kde is the default, and xfce freezes up. I have followed the guide up to the headers remark. i'm not sure if i'm right, but i think i need to get the modules up and running now.
Don't actually know where to go from here.
Last edited by Knightron; 07-23-2011 at 06:16 AM.
Basically you will be getting modules that will need to be provided for the new kernel. If need be!
The command string provides a view that looks to see what modules were installed by added packages for the old kernel(current), not the new kernel. This map will provide the means to install necessary packages if needed for the new kernel.
I'm running the 2.6.39.3 kernel with no problems.
so, the string that the command gave out was, "kernel-modules-smp-2.6.37.6_smp-i686-2", so if i understand right, i need to load this into the new kernel? How do i do this? is it a matter of copy and past to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules.local and then renaming it to the appropriate name for the new kernel?
On a side not, i havn't created an initrd yet, should i go about this step first? or the modules first?
Your original install had the kernel-modules installed, no other module had been installed/added by any other package.
Nothing more than a list of package modules that were installed for the old kernel, in your case the 'kernel-modules-smp-2.6.37.6_smp-i686-2'. Which would be default install. This output list of added package modules (if any) then you could use this list as a guide to what would be necessary to install for the new kernel (if needed).
Your new kernel and any modules would be installed. If the list from your command string showed other package modules then you would need to install those packages.

The `yoga-layout` module offers two different implementations of Yoga. The first one is a native Node module, and the second one is an asm.js fallback that can be used when native compilation isn't an option - such as web browsers.

> Because this module is compiled from a C++ codebase, the function prototypes below will use the C++-syntax. Nevertheless, the corresponding methods all exist on the JS side, with the same arguments (`Node *` being a node object).

### Installing

Installing through NPM

```shell
npm install yoga-layout
```

By default this will install the library and try to build for all platforms (node, browser asm, and standalone webpack). You may receive errors if you do not have the required platform development tools already installed. To preset the platform you'd like to build for you can set a .npmrc property first.

```shell
npm config set yoga-layout:platform standalone
```

This will now only run the standalone webpack build upon install.

### Build Platforms

| name          | description                              |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| all (default) | Builds all of these platforms.           |
| browser       | Builds asm js browser version.           |
| node          | Builds node js version.                  |
| standalone    | Runs webpack.                            |
| none          | Does nothing. You can use the prepackaged libs. |

### Lifecycle

Create a node via `Yoga.Node.create()`, and destroy it by using its `free()` or `freeRecursive()` method. Note that unlike most objects in your Javascript applications, your nodes will not get automatically garbage collected, which means that it is especially important you keep track of them so you can free them when you no longer need them.

### Children

The following methods help manage the children of a node.

### Style getters & setters

The large part of Yoga's API consists of properties, setters, and getters for styles. These all follow the same general structure. Bellow are the function and enums used to control the various styles. For an in depth guide to how each style works see the getting started guide.

### Layout results

Once you have set up a tree of nodes with styles you will want to get the result of a layout calculation. Call `calculateLayout()` perform layout calculation. Once this function returns the results of the layout calculation is stored on each node. Traverse the tree and retrieve the values from each node.

### Custom measurements

Certain nodes need to ability to measure themselves, the most common example is nodes which represent text. Text has an intrinsic size and requires measuring itself to determine that size. This is not something Yoga can do as it requires relying on the host system's text rendering engine.

- Call `markDirty()` if a node with a custom text measurement function needs to be re-measured during the next layout pass.
- Note that in the prototype below, `Size` is an object that contain both `width` and `height` properties.

> A measure function can only be attached to a leaf node in the hierarchy.

### Experiments

Yoga has the concept of experiments. An experiment is a feature which is not yet stable. To enable a feature use the following functions. Once a feature has been tested and is ready to be released as a stable API we will remove its feature flag.

### Example Usage

```javascript
import yoga, { Node } from 'yoga-layout';

let rootNode = Node.create();
rootNode.setWidth(1024);
rootNode.setHeight(768);
rootNode.setPadding(yoga.EDGE_ALL, 20);
rootNode.setDisplay(yoga.DISPLAY_FLEX);
rootNode.setFlexDirection(yoga.FLEX_DIRECTION_ROW);

let child1 = Node.create();
child1.setWidth(250);
child1.setHeight(400);
child1.setFlex(0);

let child2 = Node.create();
child2.setWidth(400);
child2.setHeight(500);
child2.setFlex(1);

Other types of sex toys are meant to add further pleasure and enjoyment to sex, such as nipple clamps, penis rings, anal plugs, or even strap-ons. Sometimes these can also help heighten lesbian or gay sex and increase excitement. There are many ways to experience pleasure, and sex toys are just one way to add zest to an already fabulous sex life, or power up playtime with yourself; you deserve it!
The New Tongue Joy 3 Way Vibrating Ring is designed in a unique way that allows partners to use it with multiple different settings. While most ring-based vibrators are supposed to be worn like a cock ring around the penis to stimulate the woman's clitoris and make sex more enjoyable for the man, the New Tongue Joy 3 Way Vibrating Ring can also be worn on the tongue or on the fingers.
Before using a sex toy, owners should take precautions. One should check for tears, rough seams or cracks that could harm the inside of the vagina or anus. Condoms should also be used on porous sex toys and sex toys that are being shared between two or more partners. They should also use appropriate lubricants; silicone lube will break down silicone toys, and oil-based lubes will break down latex condoms.[14] Cheapest Sex Toys
For women who want more satisfying penetration play during their solo sessions, dildos are the perfect female sex toys for you. Most dildos are designed to look and feel like the real thing to give you more personal pleasure (anally or vaginally), and some even come with extra functions, such as doubling as a vibrator for a 2-in-1 sex toy you'll never let go. Whether you're a beginner or a size queen, dildos come in a wide range of forms and sizes that will satisfy your needs and give you the experience you desire. Learn more about the different types of dildos available and their benefits in our Dildo Buying Guides. Interactive Sex Toy
The choice of this high-grade material provides safety in use and the option to heat or chill the toys. Borosilicate glass is also non-porous and can be sterilized to help prevent infection with reuse. The highest quality glass toys can even be put in the dishwasher making them easier to keep clean. As well as their practical qualities, a main selling point of glass sex toys is their visual appeal. Sex Toy Shops
Vibrators are vibrating devices intended to stimulate the body. Vibrators come in a range of shapes and sizes, for internal or external use. Some vibrators intended for internal use are phallic in shape. Small vibrators may have a stretchy loop attachment for use as a finger toy or cock ring. Penetrative vibrators usually measure twelve to eighteen cm (five to seven inches) in length and two to five cm (one to two inches) wide often to mimic the size of the average human penis.[citation needed]
Are things getting a little stale in the bedroom? Jack and Jill can help! We've got sex swings, vibrators controlled by a mobile app, we-vibe, vibrating rings, fetish gear, sexy books, bondage toys, and more.

Think of it has a pleasure enhancer, making sure everything moves smooth and easy. Sex Toys Online Store
Man, I was really disappointed with the We-Vibe 4 Plus. It's known as the No. 1 couple's sex toy because the idea is so ingenious: it's a hands-free vibrator that is inserted into the vagina and then remains in place during penetrative sex. Because it's sort of hooked in there — with one half of it inside, and the other outside, hitting your clit — this toy is intended to stimulate both the inside and outside funparts of your vagina. Vibrator Women
Welcome to Jack and Jill Adult superstore! Let us help you make all of your wildest dreams come true! We have all of the things you want and need in one location. No matter what your fantasy or fetish, we can help you find exactly what you are looking for. We offer the highest quality adult toys and products, and exceptional customer service to all of our clients.
The etymology of the word dildo is unclear. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) describes the word as being of "origin unknown".[3] One theory is that it originally referred to the phallus-shaped peg used to lock an oar in position on a dory (small boat). It would be inserted into a hole on the side of the boat, and is very similar in shape to the modern toy. The sex toy might take its name from this sailing tool, which also lends its name to the town of Dildo and the nearby Dildo Island in Newfoundland, Canada. Others suggest the word is a corruption of Italian diletto "delight".[4]
No safety regulations exist in the sex toy industry. The sex toys are sold as novelty items so they do not need to adhere to certain regulations such as reporting the chemicals and materials used in a product. Due to this status, manufacturers are not responsible if their toys are used for any other purpose than being a novelty.[9] Regulations such as REACH[10] do exist, and some sex toys may be compliant to this though, despite that there is no obligation for manufacturers on attaining compliance. A recent (2006) study conducted by the Greenpeace Netherlands office found high level of phthalates in seven out of eight plastic sex toys tested.[11]
In this modern world, there is a tool available to assist with just about every task. You use a knife or a mandoline to slice up food. You use a rake or leaf blower to clean up the leaves in your yard. You use a screwdriver or a power drill to install a screw. Now imagine how ridiculous it would be to perform these tasks without any tools to help you. Why would anyone try to twist a screw into the wall with their fingers when they could use a drill? We like to apply that same logic to the bedroom. With all the tools available to improve your sexual experience, does it really make sense not to take advantage of them?
If you want an even more intense experience, then a vibrating cock ring can be exactly what you need. Certain cock rings, like the ones from We-Vibe, are designed so that the pleasurable vibrations can be felt by both you and your partner, creating sensational vibes that will have the both of you moaning all night long. Not only will these penis rings provide sensational stimulation, but they're also designed to keep you erect for a longer period of time--making them a favorite in the world of sex toys. And most are made from silicone or other stretchy materials, so they can easily adjust to your size. A good tip would be to have some water-based lube handy just in case, so that putting on the cock ring can be as quick and easy as possible.
Our lubes are top of the line and made with the highest quality ingredients. We have water-based lubes that are ideal for use with our adult products, including silicone toys. Silicone-based lubes provide a different consistency than water-based lubes and can generally be used with toys, although not with silicone toys. They are great for water play in the shower or tub. Other lubes come in a wide variety of flavors and some can also provide a stimulating effect for when you want a little extra intensity.
Enjoy a sensual solo session or indulge in erotic foreplay with a partner with one of our women's sex toys. These products are designed specifically with women in mind, and they include vibrators, dildos, kits and more. Whether you're new to toys or looking for something new to add to your collection, our toys are sure to satisfy. Our collections range from top end luxury items to high quality cheap sex toys that fit your budget.
Ideal for solo sex for either gender, the LELO TIANI's greatest functions are also appreciated when used as a twosome. The toy is placed within the vagina so that the vibrator rests on the clitoris, completely hugging it. During intercourse, both parties feel the vibrating sensations as the toy lays inside the female and shares space with the penis, providing both G-Spot and clitoral stimulation simultaneously.
As always, classic favorites such as the Eroscillator, Pure Wand, and Mona 2 are up for grabs, but there's also new stuff this year, such as the Fun Factory Stronic G, Tenga Iroha+, Je Joue Rabbit Bullet, Toyfriend Snazzy, Fun Factory Volta, and SenseVibe. Most of these prizes are valued at or over $100, because I have expensive taste and you deserve good shit. Plus, a majority of the prizes are available to international folks!
PVC and jelly-rubber toys are problematic because they contain unsafe phthalates, softeners added to many plastics that are also found in some jewelry, food containers, and other soft rubber toys. Phthalates are linked to health problems such as cancer and prenatal defects. Products made of PVC or jelly rubber cannot be sterilized. Manufacturers recommend using condoms with these toys if users share them.

Wildfire Original's aphrodisiac-infused pleasure oil is chock full of naturally occurring enhancers that will ensure a romantic evening in the bedroom — whether that means a night of sensual massages or something more intimate. This lavender-scented formula acts as both a personal lubricant and as a massage and body oil — so feel free to spice it up.
Lelo's SIRI 2 works as a regular vibrator sans-music as well, but should you wish, you can also get creative and sync your music library to let it pulse to the beat of your any song you choose. Bonus: it also boasts Lelo's "strongest vibrations ever," and is 100% waterproof. Sure, you can use it solo, but letting your partner take the reins is half the fun.
After Nelson Mandela backed the anti-discrimination law that legalised sex toys,[8] "Adult World" was established in 1994 as South Africa's first sex shop. Adult World came to operate a total of 52 shops within South Africa and 15 shops in Australia.[9] Many religious Christian communities believed that the use of these adult lifestyle centres would lead to higher crime rates and attempted to organise mass demonstrations at their opening to force the closure of Adult World.[10]
By the 1980s, purges of the police force along with new and tighter licensing controls by the City of Westminster led to a crackdown on illegal premises in Soho. In the early 1990s, London's Hackney council sought to shut down Sh! Women's Erotic Emporium, because they did not have a licence. Sh! took the council to court and consequently won the right to remain open as there were no sufficient reasons for the closure. In 2003 the Ann Summers chain of lingerie and sex toy shops won the right to advertise for shop assistants in Job Centres, which was originally banned under restrictions on what advertising could be carried out by the sex industry.[13] In 2007, a Northern Ireland sex shop was denied a licence by the Belfast City Council. The shop appealed and won, but this was overturned by the House of Lords.[14]
At Jack and Jill Adult, we have sex toys for women, adult toys for men, and adult toys for couples. Our swings, costumes, and games make creating your own sexual fantasy fun and easy to do.

Besides looking like those tangly stress things they sell at museum gift shops, the Picobong Transformer is actually kinda amazing. Two vibrators on each end mean that this baby can be a rabbit vibrator, clitoral massager, cock-ring, G-spot stimulator, prostate massager, and more. It's like the swiss army knife of double-ended vibrators, or the convertible pants of vibrating double-ended dildos. Five for the price of one! Party!
The Kinky Kim blow-up doll is perfect for those who lust after their favorite reality TV star. This lifelike sex doll bears a strong resemblance to a woman who clearly loves sex and revels in showing off her slammin' body every chance she gets. Looking for a male blow up doll for a bachelorette party or a gift for your best friend (or yourself)? We have many options, from the fit, trim and very sexy Tasty Tyrone to Boy-Toy Brad.
Ladies, we have our winner. Funny that the We-Vibe brand disappointed me so much when it came to their "No. 1 couple's toy," but knocked it out of the park so hard on this one. Its shape, which is easy and intuitive to hold, is on point. There are eight different settings for every kind of intensity and sensation, and at full charge, I would be shocked if this doesn't get you off.

These dildos are designed to have a bit of a curve that will help it position right at the g-spot for an intense sensation every time you use it. They can come in different shapes, sizes and colors, but always have a slight curve in one way or another. Check out my article on g-spot vibrators which can give you that g-spot stimulation you're after. The below youtube vid will help you hit the right spot.
Cock rings prolong male erection by holding blood inside the penis. A man may wear a cock-ring to combat erectile difficulties, or for the sensation of tightness and engorgement that wearing one provides. Some models include a protruding clitoral stimulator, designed to stimulate the clitoris during sex. Others vibrate, either vibrating the ring itself, or in a popular 'Dolphin' variant by using two removable bullet vibrators to provide stimulation to both the testicles and clitoris. Some cock rings also have vibrators attached which can be worn to stimulate a partner during sexual intercourse, especially in the scrotum or perineum.[7] Yet other cock rings have arms that rub and apply pressure to the perineum of the wearer.[8]
At Jack and Jill Adult, we have sex toys for women, adult toys for men, and adult toys for couples. Our swings, costumes, and games make creating your own sexual fantasy fun and easy to do.

Yup, that rubber band on there is totally intentional, and not because someone failed to completely unwrap the packaging. At the heart of it, this is a rabbit vibrator that will provide dual external and internal stimulation that when paired with the band also adds powerful stimulation to your labia, clit, and perineum during play too. You can experiment around with the band to see what feels best for you, but with so many options, you're pretty much guaranteed to have an incredible orgasm from any angle.
When you want a toy that is hands free, the suction cup feature is always a plus. These offer the ability of sticking to nearly any flat surface (table, counter, wall, showers, etc.). It increases the amount of fun possibilities! They come in many different shapes and sizes, and materials. Some can vibrate as well, but to remain discreet as possible we're focusing on standard today.
Added bonus: It can be controlled by an app on your phone. This makes it pretty ideal for long-distance relationships (talk about taking sexting to another level), but that doesn't mean couples who get tons of face-to-face time can't enjoy it, too. You and your partner can download the free We-Vibe Sync app and connect your toy to it by inputting the serial number. You can then invite each other to "connect" on the app and sync up. We'll let you take it from there. Play Sex Toys
Upon first inspection, this toy might look really complicated — don't worry, it just has lots to offer. This double strap-on features two 6-inch vibrating dildos with a curved design and rippled texture, meaning your G-spot will be well taken care of. Each dildo can be controlled individually by separate remotes; you and your partner can take charge of your own settings, or switch controllers and surprise each other. The set even comes with a free blindfold to add some sensory play to your fun. Womaniser Vibrator
When you want to get close to the real thing without strings or stalkers, this is it. In addition to being penis shaped, these dildos look and feel real. From having textures of veins and skin to being curved with a defined head, the details are what counts here. CyberSkin is a popular material for this type.  Really add fun to your solo or couple play!

Whether you're looking to ~make a statement~ or are just the sort of person who needs the convenience of literally wearing your vibrator around your neck (we're all that person sometimes, TBH), the Vesper has you covered. It's designed to look like an actual piece of jewelry and fits in the palm of your hand. If you're worried something that tiny won't be enough to get you going, this is one of the strongest clit vibes out there. Maybe it's something about that metal on skin contact, or maybe it's the three settings this little guy operates on, but it's great for a really strong clit orgasm. Get you a vibe that can do both (make you orgasm and double as a sleek piece of jewelry). Sex Toys Demonstration
Golden natives, Tory Johnson and Rose Kalasz, knew they had a brave feat ahead of them when they decided to open Denver's first femme-centric, sex-positive boutique — but they were up to the task. Set to open in Modern Nomad in RiNo this Saturday, Awakening Boutique is the result of months of research, careful planning and hard work but the duo knew Denver was ready for it.
The Liberator Wedge offers extra height for ease of entry, which makes a man's penis feel larger as it can penetrate more deeply. The wedge's design helps hit the G-spot or the prostate for feel-good effective sex. The Liberator Wedge is also great for female masturbation, offering the best angle for more effective use of all toys for solo orgasms.When the fun's over, just remove the cover – it's washable for easy cleanup.
"The Afterglow is a solid candle made from natural, good-for-the-skin ingredients (including jojoba, shea butter, vitamin E and aloe) that melt into a luxurious, smoky, sweet-smelling massage oil for partners to use while indulging in major manual fun. Housed in an elegant ceramic container, with a pinched corner to facilitate pouring, this massage oil is the perfect complement to massage, sensual or not." -- Male Masterbation Toys
I know this little thing just looks like a pretty, pink rock, but it's so much more than that. The sleek shape fits easily and compactly in your hand, so you don't struggle to hold it against your clit (which would be distracting AF), and you can easily control the angle. It charges fast, and it has five significantly different vibration speeds and patterns so you can truly customize your orgasm. Also the silicone is super soft, like holding a pillow to your clit.

On the one hand, there are stores resembling the UK's Ann Summers, tending toward "softer" product lines.[citation needed] On the other hand, there are stores that evolved specifically out of a sex-positive culture, such as San Francisco's Good Vibrations and Xandria. The latter class of stores tend to be very consciously community-oriented businesses, sponsoring lecture series and being actively involved in sex-related health issues, etc. Cheapsextoys
The We-Vibe has spawned a thousand imitators, but none of them work quite like the classic. The C-shaped toy fits snuggly in your partner's vagina. One end wraps around her clit, bringing her to orgasm, and the thinner end slides inside the vagina, stimulating the G-spot. The design allows her to wear it during penetrative sex, and it basically turbo-charges her vagina, turning it into a vibrator itself, which will feel fantastic on your penis during sex. If you'd rather sit back and enjoy the show, it even comes with a remote. Demonstration Of Sex Toys
Anal plugs come in a variety of materials, including glass, PVC, and silicone. Each style offers different sensations, as well. For example: glass is a firm, stiff material that can be used with temperature play, while silicone is more flexible and gives a more "realistic" feel to its user. The most important part of choosing a butt plug is to understand exactly how your body reacts to different toys. Extra-large anal plugs definitely aren't for everyone, and some may even prefer vibrating anal plugs. But regardless of what you want from your sexual experience, you can find an anal plug to meet your needs right here at Spencer's. And just like dildos, you should never mix silicone lube with silicone butt plugs; if you're unsure of what your butt plug is made of, then water-based lubricant will be your best bet.

Sexual Massage Oil
A sex toy is an object or device that is primarily used to facilitate human sexual pleasure, such as a dildo or vibrator. Many popular sex toys are designed to resemble human genitals and may be vibrating or non-vibrating. The term sex toy can also include BDSM apparatus and sex furniture such as slings; however, it is not applied to items such as birth control, pornography, or condoms. Alternative expressions include adult toy and the dated euphemism marital aid, although "marital aid" has a broader sense and is applied to drugs and herbs marketed to supposedly enhance or prolong sex. Sex toys are most commonly sold at a sex shop, but they may also be sold in a pharmacy/chemist store, a pornographic DVD store, or head shop. Today's sex toys are available in almost all countries for male and females.[citation needed]
Not only is the blooming flower design of the Iris super pretty to look at (masturbating with a flower is girly AF and I love it), but those ridges feel great in your vagina. This toy is big at 9 inches long, but it's still quiet and operates on a few different modes so you can make sure you get the best orgasm possible. The tip is curved for some really great clit stimulation, and then those fake vibe petals feel great if you're into internal stimulation. It's also rechargeable, which is truly 🙌. Strap Ons For Men
Okay, so maybe you're interested in anal play, but butt plugs aren't exactly what you want—chances are, you may prefer anal beads. A string of beads attached by a handle or ring, anal beads can be inserted gradually, allowing their user to get use the sensations. Anal beads can also be a great first step to anal play, as you can insert as few or as many beads as you want. You can do this yourself, or have your lover do it for you during foreplay. And when you're ready, you can pull the beads out as slowly or as quickly as you'd like, creating moan-worthy stimulation in the already sensitive area. Most people who use them would agree that one of the best sensations is having the anal beads pulled out of you.

"I lived in Seattle for a while and it has some awesome independent women-owned sex stores," said Johnson. "When I moved back to Denver, it was strikingly obvious it wasn't here. We can do better, We can empower women rather than making them feel embarrassed." Kalasz echoed the sentiment. "Denver is young, it's progressive, there are a lot of women moving to Denver, there are a lot of sexually progressive groups in Denver. We have a big kink community here, there is a big LGBTQ community and we also both felt really passionately about sex as a positive force."
In Japan, sex dolls are known as "Dutch wives" (ダッチワイフ datchi waifu), which now refers to relatively inexpensive dolls. Their name originates from the term, possibly English, for the thick rattan or bamboo bolster, used to aid sleep in humid countries by keeping one's limbs lifted above sweaty sheets. Orient Industry is considered to be the leading manufacturer of high-end silicone dolls in Japan,[13] which started using another term "love dolls" (ラブドール rabu dōru) around 1998 to distinguish their dolls from the image of inflatable dolls associated with the term "Dutch wife".[14] The term has stuck and is now used generally to refer to any high-end product. There is a business, Doru no Mori (Doll Forest) in Tokyo, that rents love dolls and rooms to male customers.[15][16] In March 2007 the Japanese daily Mainichi Shimbun newspaper reported that there are also rental businesses that bring the dolls to the customer's home, and that the specialist love-doll magazine i-doloid has a print-run of 10,000 copies per issue.[17]
Want to show off your curves in some sexy lingerie? Look no further. From dreamy romance, sultry seductress to sweet and sensual, we have a variety of must-haves like corsets, chemises, babydolls and bodystockings. These aren't just frivolous frilly items, either; they help set just the right passionate mood. Who can resist black lace or a racy red robe? When you put on an item like a teddy, you're probably not wearing it to the grocery store; changing into sensual attire is a great way to start a sensual night at home. Another option is a fantasy dress-up costume. You can take on a hot role for the night and tap into a new persona. After all, good sex isn't just about orgasms (though we love those, too!). It's about feeling comfortable in your skin and living out your desires.
The licensing or closing of unlicensed sex shops, along with cultural changes such as the substantial relaxation of general censorship and the ready availability of non-commercial sex, have reduced the red-light district of Soho to just a small area. The borough has fifteen licensed sex shops and several remaining unlicensed ones. Islington and Camden each have multiple sex shops; the former also has three pornographic cinemas.
You can enjoy these erotic dolls on your own or select one with a partner and see what it would be like to have a fun version of a threesome, with no pressure to impress anyone but yourselves! If either of you are curious about what it would be like to bring another person into bed, a love doll you can talk to, maneuver and fantasize about can be the first step toward making your fantasy come true.

Uberlube, as the name suggests, is the ultimate. It's silicone, meaning it's hypoallergenic and will not be absorbed into your skin. The slickness lasts, the packaging is gorgeous, and it stays on in water but comes off easily with soap. Plus, this stuff is absolutely tasteless. Of course, you don't "need" lube for oral sex — but, do yourself a favor and give it a shot. Automated Masturbator
Inspired by Ben Wa balls, the Lelo Luna Beads is a set of two beads connected with a retrieval wire. You can use them both at once or separately, but either way, they promise to deliver some seriously unique pleasure. They can also be used vaginally or anally to build sensation for the night to come. The inner balls are meant to respond to movement with subtle vibrations, making them perfect to use with a partner.
Silicone dildos offer a soft, flexible feel, but keep in mind silicone lube should never be used with silicone dildos. Plastic and rubber dildos are realistically firm and compatible with any type of lube. Jelly dildos are bendable and flexible enough to accommodate even the most ambitious angles. Glass dildos offer stiffer, harder penetration and are very easy to clean. Dildos made from lifelike materials like TPR quickly warm up to your body temperature for maximum comfort. Adam & Eve offers a variety of top rated brands from Icicles dildos to Doc Johnson dildos.
The Hitachi Magic Wand is referred to as the "Cadillac of vibrators" for a reason. It's big, it's powerful, and it's reliable. Originally created to relax muscles, the wand quickly gathered a cult following as a vibrator for its undeniable ability to relax people (especially those with clits) in other ways. While the sex toy works wonders for solo play, it's fun to use in a relationship to help a partner with a vagina reach orgasm during penetrative sex. For those into BDSM, the magic wand is often used by the dominant on the submissive partner to bring the sub to orgasm while they're bound or tied up.
Yeah, we know that ties and blindfolds are all the rage right now because of that faux-BDSM story 50 Shades of Grey, (that movie is not an accurate depiction of BDSM behavior, please remember), however we don't need a fad to promote a little mystery in the bedroom. Blocking one of her senses means you have to make up for it in other areas and can be great play. Take turns, be safe and have fun.

Even with the Lelo logo, the Mia 2 vibrator looks more like a mascara or lip gloss than it does a sex toy. Not to worry though, despite its under-the-radar appearance, this rechargeable vibe definitely isn't lacking in power or intensity. The flat side of the vibe offers pinpointed vibration and six settings, so you'll definitely find your sweet spot. Plus, if you uncap the toy, there's a USB stick built in for easy charging on the go. No more lost cords!
All of our realistic dildos are carefully measured so you know exactly what you are getting before you buy. We measure the total length, the girth, and the insertable length. The insertable length is based off of the length of the shaft to the tip of the penis from the base, balls, handle, or suction cup. We want you to feel confident in your discreet sex toy purchase, so we make all the information available on our sex store. Now, you never have to worry about buying a toy that is anything but the perfect size! Remote Vibrators
While some people are uncomfortable with the idea of anal sex, it's quite the pleasurable experience for those who enjoy it. Using butt plugs is often done as a secondary stimulation, while you and your partner can focus on your other erogenous areas. If you're new to the world of anal play, then you should consider one of our anal stretching kits, which includes different sized butt plugs for you to use. Start with the smallest size, and work your way up at a comfortable pace. Remember that your anus is not self-lubricating, so we highly recommend using lubricant during anal sex for the most pleasurable experience possible.
A dildo is a device usually designed for penetration of the vagina, mouth, or anus, and is usually solid and phallic in shape. Some expand this definition to include vibrators. Others exclude penis prosthetic aids, which are known as "extensions". Some include penis-shaped items clearly designed with vaginal penetration in mind, even if they are not true approximations of a penis. Some people include devices designed for anal penetration (butt plugs), while others do not. These devices are often used by people of all genders and sexual orientations, for masturbation or for other sexual activity.
This toy is awesome. The shape is intuitive, easy to hold, and provides a steady vibration. Sometimes, when the tip is directed at your clit it can feel a bit on the pointy side, but basically, this vibe is a winning way to make coming during penetration much, much easier. Better yet? It's endorsed by none other than Alicia Silverstone herself, and was rated the most eco-friendly sex toy for it's phalate-free material and eco-friendly packaging.
According to some, the G-spot orgasm is the ultimate compared to clitoral stimulation. That's debatable, but let's just go with the theory here. If so, then the Fun Toy G-Vibe is the Holy Grail. This hypoallergenic silicone vibrator has two wings on the end that extend and stretch for stimulation inside. It's got six vibration modes in the tips of the wings. Best part? It works with your girl's body — and though it may look intimidating, it's a very approachable toy.
According to the OED, the word's first appearance in English was in Thomas Nashe's The Choice of Valentines or the Merie Ballad of Nash his Dildo (c. 1593).[Note 1] The word also appears in Ben Jonson's 1610 play, The Alchemist. William Shakespeare used the term once in The Winter's Tale, believed to be from 1610 or 1611, but not printed until the First Folio of 1623.[Note 2]
Our lubes are top of the line and made with the highest quality ingredients. We have water-based lubes that are ideal for use with our adult products, including silicone toys. Silicone-based lubes provide a different consistency than water-based lubes and can generally be used with toys, although not with silicone toys. They are great for water play in the shower or tub. Other lubes come in a wide variety of flavors and some can also provide a stimulating effect for when you want a little extra intensity.
When you want to get close to the real thing without strings or stalkers, this is it. In addition to being penis shaped, these dildos look and feel real. From having textures of veins and skin to being curved with a defined head, the details are what counts here. CyberSkin is a popular material for this type. Really add fun to your solo or couple play!

In which Tony tolerates Sir Fred Godalming and Allen Stanthorpe working in his kitchen.
I was watching 'The Wolfman' with Lon Chaney Jr. on my little black and white portable. I only ever stayed with it for the part where he changes into a werewolf, as I found the rest of the story implausible. Tonight though, I could hardly let implausibility trouble me as there were members of an underground banking organisation working in the same room.
"Take a letter Stanthorpe," said Godalming. The Texan took a seat in the new office chair I'd found discarded in the street earlier.
"Don't you have offices yet?" I asked. It wasn't that I minded them working in my kitchen but I thought a third party business might conflict with the terms of my household insurance policy, if I'd ever bothered to get one.
"Bernard, comma," continued Godalming, as Stanthorpe did his best with one finger typing. Unfortunately, as he did so I noticed that the office chair, which I had manhandled to a height that would suit his robust frame, had slowly begun to sink lower. Stanthorpe didn't seem to notice and continued typing.
"We have received the necessary papers and will now proceed with phase two of the operation, full stop. Arrangements are in place with your captors for your imminent release. I suggest you pack a woolly jumper or two, as the climate here may be a little inclement for your rich blood. The food, too, is a trifle bizarre, so I hope you like trifle.
By this time, the office chair had sunk to its lowest position, very close to the floor, but Stanthorpe soldiered on regardless, his arms raised above shoulder level and his neck stretched so he could just see above the table-top. Now I knew why it had been discarded.
I suppose I should have felt slighted by some of these comments but the truth is I didn't much care. I was used to clients taking appalling liberties, making no attempts to disguise their contempt and generally hanging around my kitchen bothering me, so this was nothing new.
After the boys finished their cocoa, Stanthorpe helped Godalming with his cape once again and the duo prepared to leave.
"What flavour do you want?" said Stanthorpe.

Q: Get a value from JSON array in PHP I have a JSON array returned by an API. I need to get the "value" and "value_high" part from the JSON under the Mann Co Supply Crate Key.
I have made a script that gets the values of the ['response']['success'] but I can't get any other values.
{
    "response": {
        "success": 1,
        "current_time": 1401869275,
        "raw_usd_value": 0.245,
        "usd_currency": "metal",
        "usd_currency_index": 5002,
        "items": {
            "Mann Co. Supply Crate Key": {
                "defindex": [
                    5021
                ],
                "prices": {
                    "6": {
                        "Tradable": {
                            "Craftable": [
                                {
                                    "item_name": "Mann Co. Supply Crate Key",
                                    "quality": 6,
                                    "craftable": "Craftable",
                                    "tradable": "Tradable",
                                    "priceindex": 0,
                                    "defindex": [
                                        5021
                                    ],
                                    "value": 8.22,
                                    "currency": "metal",
                                    "value_high": 8.33,
                                    "last_update": 1401486984,
                                    "difference": 0.22
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    }
                }
            },

A: You get $jsonString from API, then use $data = json_decode($jsonString, true); to parse it to array. And you now just have to get needed variable from array.
To get needed variables:
$value = $data['response']['items']['Mann Co. Supply Crate Key']['prices']['6']['Tradable']['Craftable']['value']
and
$value_high = $data['response']['items']['Mann Co. Supply Crate Key']['prices']['6']['Tradable']['Craftable']['value_high']

A: With the PHP function json_decode() does a lot of work for you. Using
$data = json_decode($return_Value_from_api, true);

will save all data into the PHP variable $data. Once you have that, you can access the desired values from $data.
Notice that you should take a look at the structure of the JSON string.
$data = json_decode($str, true);

echo $data['response']['items']['Mann Co. Supply Crate Key'][ 'prices']['6']['Tradable']['Craftable'][0]['value'];
echo $data['response']['items']['Mann Co. Supply Crate Key'][ 'prices']['6']['Tradable']['Craftable'][0]['value_high'];

The problem that you didn't get the desired result is because the JSON array you gave, was incomplete.

A: <?php

$data = json_decode('{
    "response": {
        "success": 1,
        "current_time": 1401869275,

$craftable = $data->response->items->{'Mann Co. Supply Crate Key'}->prices->{'6'}->Tradable->Craftable;

foreach ($craftable as $c) {
    // prints "0"
    echo $c->priceindex, PHP_EOL;
}

A: This JSON is very much nested so here is a solution to retrieve the data. I have used foreach to go to the inner element since there are some numeric indexes and assuming it might change so hard-coding the array index may fail if these numeric indexes are changed in some response
$str = 'your json string'

$json = json_decode($str,true);
foreach($json["response"]["items"]["Mann Co. Supply Crate Key"]["prices"] as $key=>$val){
    foreach($val["Tradable"]["Craftable"] as $k=>$v){
            echo $v["value"];
            echo "<br />";
            echo $v["value_high"];
    }
}

A: $data = json_decode($JSON_STRING, true);
$value = $data['response']
              ['items']
              ['Mann Co. Supply Crate Key']
              ['prices']
              ['6']
              ['Tradable']
              ['Craftable']
              [0]
              ['value'];

$value_high = $data['response']
                   ['items']
                   ['Mann Co. Supply Crate Key']
                   ['prices']
                   ['6']
                   ['Tradable']
                   ['Craftable']
                   [0]
                   ['value_high'];

echo $value, PHP_EOL, $value_high, PHP_EOL;

A: first you need to format your json properly (remove unneccessary comma, add missing }):
{
        "response": {
            "success": 1,
            "current_time": 1401869275,

            "usd_currency": "metal",
            "usd_currency_index": 5002,
            "items": {

                        5021
                    ],
                    "prices": {
                        "6": {
                            "Tradable": {
                                "Craftable": [

                                        "value": 8.22,
                                        "currency": "metal",
                                        "value_high": 8.33,

                                        "difference": 0.22
                                    }
                                ]
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

then use json_decode() and access the data by iterating down to the values needed (your json should be saved to the variable $json):
$decoded = json_decode($json);

$value = $decoded->response->items->{'Mann Co. Supply Crate Key'}->prices->{'6'}->Tradable->Craftable[0]->value;
$value_high = $decoded->response->items->{'Mann Co. Supply Crate Key'}->prices->{'6'}->Tradable->Craftable[0]->value_high;

Most observed displays by grey reef sharks have been in response to a diver (or submersible) approaching and following it from a few meters behind and above. They also perform the display towards moray eels, and in one instance towards a much larger great hammerhead (which subsequently withdrew). However, they have never been seen performing threat displays towards each other. This suggests the display is primarily a response to potential threats (i.e. predators) rather than competitors. As grey reef sharks are not territorial, they are speculated to be defending a critical volume of "personal space" around themselves. Compared to sharks from French Polynesia or Micronesia, grey reef sharks from the Indian Ocean and western Pacific are not as aggressive and less given to displaying.[3]
The Black-tip Shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) is a species of shark of the family Carcharhinidae, easily identified by the black tips of its fins, especially on the first dorsal fin and the caudal fin. It is one of the most abundant sharks in the tropical coral reefs of the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. This species prefers shallow coastal waters and frequently exposes its first dorsal fin in these areas. Most Black-tipped Sharks live on reef margins and sandy bottoms, but they are also known to support brackish or freshwater environments. This species generally reaches a length of 1.6 m. Black-tip Sharks are sedentary and live in very small areas and may remain in the same area for several years. They are active predators of small bone fish, cephalopods and crustaceans, and are also known to feed on marine snakes and seabirds. The data collected concerning the life cycle of the Black-tip Shark are sometimes contradictory and there appear to be significant differences depending on the geographical location within the range of the species. Like other members of its family, this shark is viviparous and females give birth to between two and five young babies every two years, every year or sometimes twice a year. Indeed, according to its habitat the gestation period of this shark can be 7-9 months, 10-11 months or 16 months. Newborns live in coastal waters and in shallower waters than adults, often forming large groups in areas flooded by high tides. Shy and capricious, the Black-tip Shark is difficult to approach and rarely represents a danger to humans, unless it is excited by food. However, bathers in shallow waters can sometimes have their legs bitten by mistake. This shark is fished for its meat, fins and liver oil, but is not considered to be a commercially important species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature assessed the near threatened species. Although the species as a whole remains widespread and relatively common, overfishing of this shark and its slow rate of reproduction has led to its decline in a number of localities.

Grey reef sharks feed mainly on bony fishes, with cephalopods such as squid and octopus being the second-most important food group, and crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters making up the remainder. The larger sharks take a greater proportion of cephalopods.[20] These sharks hunt individually or in groups, and have been known to pin schools of fish against the outer walls of coral reefs for feeding.[14] Hunting groups of up to 700 grey reef sharks have been observed at Fakarava atoll in French Polynesia.[21][22] They excel at capturing fish swimming in the open, and they complement hunting whitetip reef sharks, which are more adept at capturing fish inside caves and crevices.[4] Their sense of smell is extremely acute, being capable of detecting one part tuna extract in 10 billion parts of sea water.[13] In the presence of a large quantity of food, grey reef sharks may be roused into a feeding frenzy; in one documented frenzy caused by an underwater explosion that killed several snappers, one of the sharks involved was attacked and consumed by the others.[23]
Socially, they are mostly loners unless living in a threatening ecosystem. These are the first and the only species of sharks that are known to "sleep" on the ocean floor or within reef caves. It is believed that these sharks are not actually sleeping but merely resting. These sharks have actually been given the nickname "sleeping sharks" because of their habit of lying motionless at the sea bottom. This is a somewhat unusual and unique behavior of these sharks.


A Comprehensive Course in Analysis by Poincaré Prize winner Barry Simon is a five-volume set that can serve as a graduate-level analysis textbook with a lot of additional bonus information, including hundreds of problems and numerous notes that extend the text and provide important historical background. Depth and breadth of exposition make this set a valuable reference source for almost all areas of classical analysis.
Get the Ultimate Companion to A Comprehensive Course in Analysis free with any purchase of the complete set.
Researchers (mathematicians and some applied mathematicians and physicists) using analysis, professors teaching analysis at the graduate level, graduate students who need any kind of analysis in their work.
There is no doubt that graduate students and seasoned analysts alike will find a wealth of material in this project and appreciate its encyclopedic nature.
There is no need to belabor the point that this is a fabulous set of texts and will be a smash hit in graduate programs with good taste and good students willing to work hard and ready for exposure to mathematical culture of a wonderful sort. In addition to being a fine mathematician and teacher of mathematics, Simon is something of a raconteur (in the best sense of the word) with a strong interest in history. The books are peppered with historical asides and human interest material, and this feature adds to their readability. Indeed, they are beautifully and clearly written and certainly make for a major contribution to the literature at the intended level and beyond. When I learned that the AMS (which is to be congratulated with this publication) was launching this series by Barry Simon, I, of course, expected a great deal. I was by no means disappointed; these books are terrific.

SIM swapping: What is it and should you be worried?
By Yubico chief solutions officer Jerrod Chong
Cyber criminals are using a simple trick to steal people's mobile phone numbers, move them to a different SIM card, and then use the stolen number to gain access to the victim's other personal information, including their bank and government service accounts.
This technique is called SIM swapping and due to the growing reliance on mobile phones, this vehicle is increasingly targeted as a way to take over a person's account.
In most cases, threat actors only need a target's account number and date of birth, that can easily be obtained through social media, to make this type of request from a mobile carrier. While these attacks are surprisingly easy to execute, it can wreak havoc for those who unknowingly fall victim to a 'SIM swapping' scam.
Most important accounts rely on some form of two-factor authentication to gain access, and in many cases, the user or service provider will select SMS codes as the default authentication method.
This involves receiving a text message code to log into the account, in which case porting someone's mobile phone number can give criminals easy access to an individual's digital life.
A Sydney woman's tale of woe hit the headlines last year when her mobile phone was taken over and fraudsters rapidly set about stealing her identity.
Armed with her name, date of birth and mobile number, the attackers called the Optus call centre without her knowledge and secretly swapped her number to a SIM card they had in their possession.
It is assumed that the attackers took her personal details, such as her date of birth, from her Facebook account.
The victim received two text messages from Optus confirming that her request to change networks had been actioned and then her phone was disconnected.
She'd just been a victim of SIM swapping without being able to make a call or access data.
Meanwhile, the fraudsters set about breaking into her social media accounts, including her Facebook and email, where she stored many important personal documents such as passport scans.
They made several calls using Kate's number and changed the password of her email and many other accounts.
Optus is not the only target of SIM swapping attacks in Australia, as other telco operators have also been tricked several times.
The relative ease with which hackers can execute SIM swaps poses serious questions about the level of security clearance mobile phone providers enforce.
Since the goal for customer service representatives is to provide an excellent user experience in the timeliest fashion, being security-vigilant is not a top priority.
This makes this type of social engineering relatively easy to pull off.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) latest 'Scamwatch' data revealed that Australians lost nearly ten million dollars to scammers in February 2019 alone. A total of 16,399 scams were reported, with financial losses accounting for 8.8% of those reported scams.
Unfortunately, many more go unreported due to a victim's feelings of shame.
SIM swapping attacks happen far more often than most people realise, which is why it's important to understand how they work and better yet, how to prevent them from happening.
The good news is that many services now offer users the option to secure their accounts with methods beyond basic SMS.
These can include mobile authentication apps, built-in biometrics and hardware authenticators such as security keys.
While each method has its pros and cons, security keys (based on the FIDO U2F and FIDO2/WebAuthn open standards) are becoming increasingly popular among services like Google, Twitter, Facebook, Microsoft and Dropbox.
By requiring physical access to a device to successfully log in to online accounts, it eliminates the threat of remote scalable attacks.
In addition, the technical specifications of the FIDO U2F and FIDO2/WebAuthn standards are built to implement advanced security checks, such as verifying the origin of the site, which protects unsuspecting users from falling victim to phishing and 'man-in-the-middle' attacks.
In these scenarios, the attacker secretly relays and possibly alters the communication between two parties who believe they are directly communicating with each other
