Medical misdiagnosis is a major problem for America's healthcare system. In a 2015 report, the Institute of Medicine estimated that 12 million Americans are on the wrong end of a diagnostic error every year. Most of us will be misdiagnosed at least once in our lifetime, and those mistakes have real consequences for our health and well-being.
Statistically speaking, you will be misdiagnosed at some point, if you haven't been already. That's not alarmist, it's the truth. But there's a simple, effective way to reduce your risk of being misdiagnosed: seek a second opinion. Some hospitals, including the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic, have even begun offering second opinion services online – though the virtual outside eyes can come at a hefty price.
Getting a second opinion is surprisingly easy, especially in the digital age, but lots of patients fear offending their primary care physicians (PCP). Chances are that next appointment won't be awkward, even if you do ask for a referral to a specialist. Asking your doctor for an outside eye isn't going to start a war.
In fact, doctors usually value second opinions as much as patients do, because they work. In a study of patients who sought out second opinions after being diagnosed with breast cancer, researchers from the Netherlands found that one-third of the second opinions (all of which were initiated by patients) disagreed with the diagnosis of a primary care physician. For 16% of those patients, their second, more accurate diagnosis led to a significant change in both treatment options and prognosis.
If you were diagnosed by your PCP, ask them to refer you to another doctor who specializes in the condition. It's likely that your physician will be able to send your medical records and any test results over, so getting a second opinion could be as simple as sitting down with another doctor for a conversation.
If you can't find a specialist in your area, try one of the many e-second opinion services offered by hospitals like the Cleveland Clinic. You'll need to collect your medical records, which can be difficult and frustrating, but once you've sent them away you should receive an independent report in no time.
Online second opinions can be costly. At the Cleveland Clinic, a second opinion will run you $565, unless you need a pathology review, in which case it can be as high as $745. 8 departments at Johns Hopkins, including pathology and surgery, also offer their own online second opinion programs. The costs are almost identical to those at the Cleveland Clinic.
Be aware that second opinions, from anyone, will vary in cost based on the condition being investigated. The more doctors have to work, reviewing old test results or ordering new diagnostics, the higher the final sum will be.
There are also several private companies (not recognized hospitals) offering online "second opinions." The aptly-titled SecondOpinions.com is one. These companies work through medical consultants, essentially ferrying medical records between patients and (usually) licensed experts. Many of these services are advertised as less expensive than programs like the one at Cleveland Clinic. SecondOpinionExpert gives second opinions out for $300, with an additional fee of $200 if you want to video chat with the doctor who reviewed your records.
Will Insurance Cover A Second Opinion?
That depends on your insurer and policy. States like California and New York have passed laws guaranteeing HMO members the right to a second opinion, but you'll need to check with your insurance company to know.
E-second opinions are rarely covered by insurance, and the Cleveland Clinic doesn't accept insurance payments as a rule.
Whether or not they do cover second opinions, it's probably in an insurance company's best interests to cover them. Why pay for a $50,000 procedure when a less expensive treatment may be possible, just unidentified?
Are Americans Too Confident in Their Doctor's Opinion?
It's almost strange to say that doctors have opinions at all. Many of us assume that, like science, a physician's pronouncements are blind, impersonal statements of fact. But of course, they're not. Neither is science for that matter. Both are subject to errors and biases; both benefit from experience, but for that to be true, mistakes have to be made.
Most Americans, however, seem to approach their doctor's as infallible sources of medical knowledge.
In 2010, a Gallup poll of 511 randomly-selected adults found that 70% of respondents were "confident in the accuracy of their doctor's advice." Only 29% felt it was necessary to seek a second opinion, or do any research on their own. That confidence seems to be growing over time. Gallup conducted an identical poll in 2002, but only 64% of respondents said they were confident in their physician's opinion.
There is one area of medicine, however, in which patients overwhelmingly seek out advice from a second, third or even fourth doctor: cancer. Surveys suggest that more than 50% of patients get a second opinion after receiving a cancer diagnosis, which isn't hard to explain when you recognize that around 30% of initial cancer diagnoses may be plain wrong.
What If My First Doctor Was Wrong?
That depends on how your doctor's mistake has affected your life. Many patients suffer considerable harm from a diagnosis. Some people, misdiagnosed with cancer, undergo agonizing (and extraordinarily costly) treatments like chemotherapy – only to learn later that they don't have cancer. For these patients, filing a lawsuit may be the only way to regain a fraction of what they've lost.
People who were misdiagnosed, but didn't suffer any demonstrable losses, probably won't have grounds to file a medical malpractice claim. For them, the confidence of knowing that a second doctor got it right might be enough.

South-Carolina and American General Gazette (October 31, 1770).
"MRS. SWALLOW begs Leave to inform the Publick."
Newman Swallow and Mrs. Swallow, presumably husband and wife, both ran newspaper advertisements in late October and early November 1770. Newman advised prospective clients that he "proposes carrying on the FACTORAGE BUSINESS," serving as a broker in Charleston. Mrs. Swallow planned to open a boarding school for "young Ladies" at a new house "next Door to his Honour the Lieutenant-Governour's" in Broad Street. Their advertisements first appeared, one above the other, in the October 30, 1770, edition of the South-Carolina Gazette and Country Journal. The following day both advertisements also ran, again one above the other, in the South-Carolina and American General Gazette. The November 1 edition of the South-Carolina Gazette included both notices, once again one above the other. In the course of three consecutive days, the Newmans disseminated their advertisements in all three newspapers published in Charleston, maximizing exposure for their enterprises among readers throughout the busy port and the rest of the colony.
Careful examination of their advertisements reveals differences in format but not content. The Newmans submitted the same copy to the three printing offices in Charleston, but the compositors who set type for the newspapers exercised discretion over typography and other aspects of graphic design. Variations in font sizes, font styles, words appearing in all capital letters or italics, and the use of ornaments all testified to the role of the compositor in making decisions about how each advertisement would look on the page. In two of the newspapers, "NEWMAN SWALLOW" and "MRS. SWALLOW" served as headlines, but not in the third. Similar examples appeared in newspapers published in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Williamsburg during the era of the American Revolution. In towns large enough to support more than one newspaper, advertisers frequently placed notices in two, three, or more publications. The copy remained consistent across newspapers, but the graphic design varied. This demonstrated an important division of labor in the production of newspaper advertisements in eighteenth-century America. Advertisers dictated the contents, but usually asserted little control over the format. Compositors exercised creativity in designing how the copy appeared on the page, influencing how readers might engage with advertisements when they encountered them in the public prints.
September 27, 2018 September 26, 2018 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert Update	Factor, George Livingston, Humor, John Champneys, Partnership, Partnership Dissolved, Rivalry, South-Carolina Gazette and Country Journal
South-Carolina Gazette and Country Journal (September 27, 1768).
"ONE might be apt to think by Mr. Champneys's advertisement that GEORGE LIVINGSTON is actually dead."
George Livingston demonstrated his appreciation for drama in an advertisement offering his services as a broker in the September 27, 1768, edition of the South-Carolina Gazette and Country Journal. "ONE might be apt to think by Mr. Champneys's advertisement," the broker acerbically observed, "that GEORGE LIVINGSTON is actually dead: Blessed be GOD the case is not so: He is still in the land of the living, and steps forth to inform his friends and the public, that he is in some measure able to do BUSINESS." After such a theatrical introduction, Livingston returned to the familiar refrains that appeared in advertisements placed by others in his line of work. Familiar as Livingston's appeals to his "FIDELITY and PUNCTUALITY" may have been, they likely garnered more notice from prospective clients as a result of Livingston's unusual method of introducing himself.
Livingston inserted his advertisement in response to one from his former business partner that appeared the previous week as well as again in the same issue as the rebuttal. In that notice, Champneys announced that he "FOLLOWS the FACTORAGE BUSINESS by himself." He offered his services to friends and former customers, promising that "they may depend on the same Diligence and constant Attendance as formerly." Although some colonists placed advertisements when they dissolved business partnerships, Champneys did not mention Livingston at all. Neither advertisement reveals the conditions of their parting. Livingston's notice could suggest that he took some umbrage at Champneys seemingly erasing their former association, but he also noted that he "proposes doing his business on Mr. Champneys's, formerly Mr. Simmons's, wharf." They were not on such poor terms that Livingston refused to become a tenant of Champneys. Perhaps the two had parted amicably. Perhaps Champneys even laughed at the joke made possible by his own advertisement, even as the two brokers competed for the same clients. Formerly partners, they were now rivals in business. Invoking humor may have been a means for Livingston to attract his share of clients without denigrating his former partner's own "FIDELITY and PUNCTUALITY." Just because they were business rivals did not mean that Champneys and Livingston could not also be friendly rivals.
July 16, 2016 June 14, 2016 Carl Robert Keyes Daily Advert Update	Commission, Factor, Georgia Gazette, Wharf, William Moore
What was advertised in a colonial newspaper 250 years ago today?
Georgia Gazette (July 16, 1766).
"He will be ready to execute any commands in the branch of factorage business."
William Moore facilitated the buying and selling of goods in colonial America. As a participant in the "factorage business" he played an integral part in the consumer revolution of the eighteenth century by coordinating transportation, delivery, and dissemination of goods via the wharf and storehouses he operated in Savannah. That terminology – consumer revolution – often places primary emphasis on the people who bought and used goods, incorporating them into their everyday lives, but it sometimes overlooks or does not place sufficient emphasis on others who participated in a transatlantic (and even global) historical process. The study of consumer culture does not always sufficiently recognize that the exchanges that put a variety of goods (textiles, hardware, housewares, books, foodstuffs, to name a few major categories frequently advertised) into the possession of colonists was balanced on the other side by retailers, producers, and suppliers. Even the recognition that consumers interacted with merchants or shopkeepers does not necessarily acknowledge other intermediaries who played a part in moving goods from their place of initial production to their place of ultimate consumption.
William Moore may not have sold directly to end-user consumers. Based on this advertisement, it appears that he operated as a wholesaler, dealing in bulk when he sold imported goods like rum, sugar, coffee, and fish. In addition, an important part of his enterprise consisted of providing a place for merchants to land their goods and store them until they could be distributed to shopkeepers and others who would sell them to consumers. Moore assisted in connecting merchants (or their representatives) and retailers, "charging low commissions for any thing committed to his charge." In the process, he also facilitated the movement of locally produced goods out of the colony, storing "country produce" until it could be loaded on a ship for export. Understanding that time was money, he also promised that any merchants or captains of vessels who chose his wharf would "have good attendance and quick dispatch." In other words, goods would unloaded and loaded quickly so ships could move on to their next port and continue trading.

Q: Ruby Blocks, Procs and Local Variables In Ruby, procs seem to have access to local variables that were present at the time they were declared, even if they are executed in a different scope:
module Scope1
    def self.scope1_method
        puts "In scope1_method"
    end
end

module Scope2
    def self.get_proc
        x = 42
        Proc.new do
            puts x
            puts self
            scope1_method
        end
    end
end

Scope1.instance_eval(&Scope2.get_proc)

Output:
42
Scope1
In scope1_method

How and why does this occur?

A: The Proc.new call creates a closure for the block that it's given.  In creating a closure for the block, the block is bound to the original variables in the scope of the Proc.new call.
Why is this done?
It allows Ruby blocks to function as closures.  Closures are extremely useful, and the Wikipedia entry (linked above) does an excellent job of explaining some of their applications.
How is this done?
This is done in the Ruby VM (in C code) by copying the Ruby control frame that exists before entering the Proc.new method.  The block is then run in the context of this control frame.  This effectively copies all of the bindings that are present in this frame.  In Ruby 1.8, you can find the code for this in the proc_alloc function in eval.c.  In Ruby 1.9, you can find this in the proc_new function in proc.c.

A: This behavior is by design. In Ruby, blocks, procs, and lambdas are lexical closures.  Read this blog post for a short explanation of the differences between Ruby's three flavors of closure.

His absence is a presence – an almost-palpable presence. The teammate who dies a young man leaves many things behind to deal with: unbearable sadness, a sense of waste, a sense of impotent rage at having been ravaged in such a sneaking way. Historical holes, interrupted ambitions.
Sport is such life-affirming, energetic engagement. It is no place to reflect on the ultimate outcome of the human condition. Death has been known to make its malevolent forays into the locker room, but not often. It stalks Out There, usually, and rarely does it separate teammates.
When it does, it's devastating. Amputation. Emotional nerves continue to run back to the absent member, and the throbbing can be unbearable. Amid team mates left behind is not an empty space but a negative image, the size and shape of the living man. Habits, jokes, sentiments that formed around him remain and when he suddenly appears, he brings melancholy, or denial. It's very difficult for a long time. Eventually he flickers and blurs at the edges and starts to shrink a little as the grieving of his team mates eases, and it's time to let go; to be incorporated into a world that he strove to be part of while still alive; the world of immortality, heroism and legend.
The overwhelming instinct then is to somehow absorb the dead into the living world in order to nourish it: the symbolic world imitating the organic. That negative image needs to have a positive message. If not, it becomes a burden.
Meanwhile, the feelings he arouses need to be dealt with practically. The complex dynamics of a team need to be managed. Today's sporting clubs have counselors and chaplains. Knowledge has evolved.
Sometimes things work out. Rarely do they work themselves out.
Peter Crimmins was not the sort of bloke you'd expect to die early. Imagine if it was Adam Gilchrist. Like Gilly, Crimmo was a bonus of a sportsman – too good to be true. He aroused tremendous affection. No-one had a bad word to say about Crimmo. And, to top it off, he was a great footballer.
Hawthorn boasted some of the game's very best – Hudson, Tuck, Matthews, Knights, Moore – and Crimmins was one of them. He turned games with pace, foresight and sheer guts.
In 1974, Crimmo was diagnosed with testicular cancer, but, as captain, he felt a duty to play on. His ambition was to captain his team to a premiership. His treatment got too much for him, but he came back at the end of the 1975 season to play in the reserves finals – well enough to be considered for senior selection. His inclusion in the Grand Final would boost the team. The agony of that week, which culminated in the selectors' decision not to pick him, was compounded when the Hawks conceded Norths' first ever Premiership win. What the public didn't know was that the dispirited and angry players almost revolted before the climactic match of the year.
Crimmo left the game the next season to fight his illness. He lasted until the 1976 Grand Final, which his cherished Hawks won. David Parkin led a delegation of players to his bedside with the Premiership cup the very day of the win, and the resulting picture of the wasted, widely-grinning little champion surrounded by team mates and the trophy is the last we saw of him. He died three days later.
Darren Millane was a true Collingwood hero – a working class Superman. During 147 mostly-spectacular games between 1984 and 1991, he epitomised everything Collingwood fans loved. A muscular, energetic tearer as ebullient as Barassi, "Pants" took no nonsense and no prisoners. He announced his arrival in true Collingwood style: spectacularly, just like Carman and Greening and Kink and McKenna. Not only did he skittle two sides in the 1984 finals series almost single-handedly, but he did something the Collingwood masses love: he was heroic in defeat. In the preliminary final, the 'Pies were flogged by Essendon, and Pants never forgot. Win or lose, Essendon were subsequently on the receiving end of many hidings from Millane. Pants didn't always need to have a good game; he only needed to be present, and they'd get out of his way.
How the Collingwood fans loved having that projection of their own ideal self-image rampaging around on a weekend. Feeling indestructible, just like Pants, they'd go home pumped.
When Collingwood won the Grand Final, Millane left them a lasting, iconic image at the final siren, as he held the ball aloft. He revealed then that he'd played the entire finals series with a broken thumb. It only enhanced his legend. A year later, he was gone.
On October 11, 1991, Millane, driving home from a nightclub, hit a stationary truck and was killed instantly. His blood-alcohol reading was .399.
Troy Broadbridge was a promising footballer. Tall and lean, a leaper, he could run like an Afghan hound. He was considered the ultimate team man: selfless and aware. He was the sort of bloke who always made friends easily. After 40 games with Melbourne, he looked like being a fixture at the club for years to come. News of his death in the Asian tsunami on Boxing Day, 2004, hit the club hard.
Ben Alexander, too, was a popular young player. "Lovable larrikin" is the phrase most commonly used to describe him – one of those standard labels that help us to remember the dead. He was coming off the bench a lot in the 1991 season, the year of Penrith's first-ever ARL premiership. His brother, the brilliant Greg, was a hard act to follow, but Ben was a high-quality player destined to make a mark in any number of positions.
According to Ben's brother-in-law Mark Geyer, Ben left the club angry the night he was killed, after an incident involving the coach, Phil Gould. He drove angry; he drove under the influence, and he never came back. As Andrew Webster put it in his 2003 article in Inside Sport, the crossroads at which he died came to symbolise what happened to the lives of many people he left behind.
The way men coped was their own, but, in the absence of any other way, even as recently as the early nineties, they had no other option. Mostly, it was about denial.
Hawthorn in 1976 was an emotional universe away. Players grieved privately – very privately. The only public acknowledgement that Crimmins might not live much longer came from coach John Kennedy, who exhorted the Hawks to go out and win the 1976 premiership "for the little fella". "Back in those days," says Gwen, "It wasn't all about how they were coping internally." There were no chaplains, no counselors, and it's likely they'd have been under-employed anyway.
As the shocking event ripples outward from the epicentre of the club, the club "community" absorbs the tragedy too. The Penrith community could barely assimilate it in the same way the Collingwood faithful has in Millane's case. Penrith's fans were all located in one area, whereas Collingwood – the team – has long been a geographical abstraction. The entire Penrith community, where the Alexanders were locals, was devastated. "The outpouring of emotion was something never before seen. Obviously, you don't want to see it again," says Geyer. "Elderly gentlemen and ladies of the community down to the school kids were all shattered by it.
1992-3 were the worst years in Penrith's history. Greg Alexander and Mark Geyer barely played. Brad Fittler spent the year grieving. No individual so vulnerable should have been playing a game like League. This was an entire team. At the end of the season, Geyer left for Balmain. He was never quite the same player. Neither was Greg. The next year, coach Phil Gould left mid-season after a dispute with Greg, who departed himself for Auckland in 1995.
The "gun" team of the league was decimated. The crowds dwindled. The struggling club had nothing to offer Fittler and Matt Sing, and lost them to the Sydney City Roosters.
Survivor guilt might explain Penrith's rapid decline. It often manifests itself in sentiments expressed as, "why couldn't it have been me?" or, "why didn't I just tell him not to?", or "If only I'd been there." Alexander and Broadbridge died in different ways. The latter was time and chance, an act of God, and that is how the Melbourne club has made sense of it. It's too early to tell, but for this reason, Melbourne's onfield performance might not be adversely affected. In Alexander's case, he was doing something any number of his teammates were doing the very same night – attending a club function. The difference in the experience is profound. "Survivor guilt" is experienced by anyone who feels keenly that only good luck prevented them from meeting the same fate. This self-punishment is perfectly natural. Sufferers think that, somehow, they might have been responsible, and such feelings actually give the event meaning for them, and are a hedge against total helplessness. But their effects can be debilitating.
The nature of Millane's death was different again. He was doing something "typical", but his teammates were elsewhere. The season had ended. It was a numbingly tragic time for Collingwood, but unlike Penrith, they lifted the next year, fuelled by emotion and the sort of self-belief Millane epitomised. They made it to the finals and were flag favourites in 1992, only to fall at the second-last hurdle. After that, their downward spiral lasted the best part of a decade. The Millane death wasn't the sole reason, but it helped precipitate the chain reaction of decline.
Death makes no sense. It doesn't discriminate. It is no respecter of persons. It has its own whims, and we cannot hope to anticipate them. So when a sports star, who is somehow larger than life, suddenly leaves us, our first impulse is to somehow make meaning of it. The culture of fans is a powerful generator of meaning and preserver of memory.
Fans demand explanation. Today's clubs often provide it. In the 1970s, fans were left to make their own sense of such catastrophes. Crimmins' slow demise allowed too much time to search for reasons. Until the end, everyone hung onto some slim hope that he might not die. But one urban myth targeted Crimmins' teammate, Don Scott. The canard that he somehow caused Crimmins' cancer when he flicked him in the groin with a towel (it was actually his hand) merged, in folklore, with a captaincy issue that arose the week Crimmins was almost selected for the 1975 Grand Final. Scott was the premiership captain, selected as skipper during Crimmins' absence. Crimmins might have re-assumed that captaincy had he made the team. The vague implication of intent is unthinkable, but urban myths, because their origins are untraceable, are able to express the unthinkable.
The timing of such stories matters. If Geyer's version involving Phil Gould had come out at the time of Ben Alexander's death, reaction to it might have been very different.
Sometimes, it takes more than a generation of fans to heal the wounds. On official and unofficial Collingwood websites, you'll uncover a colony of Magpie faithful still working on the Millane legend diligently, carefully, reconstructing the man from the bottom up; protecting his god status from the gleeful, sometimes morbid taunts of fans from other clubs. Millane's death instantly began the myth of Darren Millane. As with anyone who dies in the fullness of their youthful powers, Millane's legacy is that of thwarted greatness. He "would have been" Collingwood's next captain. He "could have been" one of the great players of all time. Darren Millane, in death, became the "heart and soul" of the Magpies; the "backbone".
Long term, clubs often find ways to perpetuate memory, for the sake of the fans, the club and the family of the deceased. The Ben Alexander trophy is for rookie of the year at Penrith. There are still enough of the old Hawks around to resurrect the Crimmins legend, three generations of players later. Gwen, his widow, has finally been asked to present the Peter Crimmins Medal. "There's the old times and the old stories, and they want a bit of that to boost the club, I think," says Gwen without cynicism. Millane's family has been enveloped by the club ever since Darren's death. Every year, they attend events and are respected by players, officials and the fans who revered Darren. The most significant of these events is the Copeland Trophy ceremony, where the Darren Millane Medal is given to the best clubman.
The number of a deceased player, or a retired great, has potent symbolism in AFL – more so than in other codes where number indicates position. In AFL, jumper numbers are "retired." Depending on the circumstance, a jumper might not be resurrected for a few generations. Collingwood, who have done everything right since Millane's death, acted, it was believed, with indecent haste last year when they gave his revered number 42 to their first pick in the 2004 player draft, Billy Morrison. They underestimated the emotions of Millane's former teammates, and his family, who took their complaint to the media. Richmond experienced similar angst when they handed Jack Dyer's beloved number 17 to Paul Hudson – and Jack had been fifty years retired.
Gwen Crimmins has reason to be thankful to Hawthorn and its high-profile supporters, who rallied upon Peter's death. The club and its backers, led by businessman John Hoare, set up a family trust. Another prominent businessman, Des Walker, arranged a variety night with Melbourne's stars to raise money for it. The effect was lasting and practical. Gwen was able to send the children to Assumption College and give them a relatively normal life as a direct result of these efforts.
Just as you find families of the deceased heal their wounds with service to the living, in voluntary organisations associated with the cause of death, so they become fixtures at footy clubs. Grief is converted to engagement. The family of the deceased offer club and fans transition and consolation, and vice versa. Ultimately, people need the therapy of turning a loss into something good. Gwen also involved herself in fundraising for testicular cancer research.
"The club said, 'hey Cam, there's no script for this. You're writing it. What should we do? Where should we go?'" Cam Butler, Melbourne Football Club's pastor, called players back from holidays all around Australia before confirmation of Broadbridge's death. Butler read out the same Biblical passage he'd read at Troy's wedding to Trisha Silvers eight days earlier – the "love passage" from I Corinthians 13.
The club received tens of thousands of letters and cards from fans expressing grief and encouragement, and so many phone messages that their answering machines reached full capacity day after day.
The club pledged to "keep a close eye" on the players, their spouses and staff, "to make sure they're dealing with it as well as they can." In the change room, Troy's jumper was still hanging in his locker, and that number, 20, was enough to conjure him up. It haunted the players.
At the funeral, Cameron Bruce placed that jumper on the coffin. With that "letting go", Troy Broadbridge's story will be perpetuated, incorporated, put to good use, as it should be.
Butler saw, in the reaction of other clubs, that the impact on the entire competition might be a neglected aspect of a player's death. "The AFL is a big family. Our network of chaplains communicated closely. Clubs like Richmond put together a tribute book from the players and sent it to us." Butler put a message on Melbourne's website to help people outside the club deal with the emotions they were feeling.
No matter what we do with the deceased, when they die, everything changes. But closure? Nothing ever closes.

About our review site
Medstore-online.cc Review – An Online Pharmacy That Offered European and Indian Medicines
Medstore-online.cc was an internet drugstore that acted as an online pharmacy and a broker or a fulfillment center. They partnered with FDA compliant pharmacies in order to deliver low-cost medications to customers. This business started in 2009 yet their close date was not available. They published that their brokerage and encashment partner was located in Zweistafpfle 6, 9496 Balzers, and Principality of Liechtenstein.
On their main page, there were 12 types of medicines offered by Medstore Online. They offered antibiotic drugs, anxiety pills, and drugs to fight arthritis, birth control pills, drugs for depression, diuretics, men's health, muscle relaxant, painkillers, and drugs to treat insomnia and sleep disorders, and weight loss pills.
Under men's health, they had Tadaga and Tadalafil under the generic Cialis category. Tadaga is sold for $88 for a pack of 30 tablets and $118 for a pack of 60. Tadalafil was sold for $95 for a pack of 39 and $129 for a pack of 60. Tadalafil was available in 20 mg. For generic Viagra, they had 100 mg sildenafil for $159 for a pack of 90 tablets. Lastly, they offered Maxidus for $74 for a pack of 30 and $112 for a pack of 60. Maxidus is an herbal medication that is equivalent to a Viagra hence it is called herbal Viagra.
For payment, Medstore-online.cc accepted Visa and AmEx, bank wire transfer and E-Check. For bank transfer, the store will send their bank details to their customer thru email. Once payment is confirmed, the order will be processed and shipped. For bank transfer, a refund was possible but the customer will be charged the transaction fee of $28. Customers who paid with an E-Check had to wait longer because of the days it takes to clear the check then an order confirmation had to be completed. If the order confirmation (via phone call) was not completed, the order gets canceled after three days. E-Check was offered to their US customers only.
Once the order was shipped, an email confirmation will be sent to customers. This e-store offered its products to consumers in the US, the UK, France, Australia, Denmark, Belgium, Ireland, Sweden, and Spain only. All orders were shipped via International Airmail where delivery time takes up to 14 days for EU products and up to 18 days for Indian products. Orders were shipped from Europe and India.
Medstore-online.cc had a tracking page that allowed customers to track their orders by using their tracking number or order ID. Customers who didn't want to track their on orders can contact Medstore-online via 877 340 6941 or 800 096 3317. They also had a live chat support team that can track orders and answer customer queries.
Aside from having a phone and chat support team, we are surprised to find that they also have a Skype team that can answer chat and call. They were the only online pharmacy that had such service.
This e-store had refund policies and reship orders as needed. They collect a transaction fee for refunds.
Medstore-online.cc Reviews
Medstore-online.cc operated for years starting in 2009. We are not able to obtain their close date but information on the web archive showed that their last saved information was in 2014. Assuming that they operated for 5 years, we hoped to see some reliable customer reviews from third-party review websites but found none.
We did find two reviews from the on-site testimonial page of Medstore-online. The reviews we found were from Mike and Kim.
The testimonial from Mike revealed that he found out about this e-store thru a friend. He said it worked for him and that he had been using it without any problem. He loved the packaging and the tracking availability that this online pharmacy provided.
As for Kim, Kim said his three orders arrived on time hence he always order from them.
These two reviews were the only reviews that we found for Medstore-online and sadly, these were on-site reviews. On-site reviews mean that they can be manipulated or even unreal hence the very positive shared experience about the said e-store.
Medstore-online.cc Reviews 2018
Based on the web archived data we found, this e-dispensary closed down in 2014 hence they no longer have available reviews for 2018.
Medstore-online.cc Coupon Codes
As an online buyer, we always search for coupon codes before ordering from an e-store. With too many online pharmacies offering the same products at the same price, their differences often varies with the coupon code being used.
Medstore-online.cc Perks
Apparently, Medstore-online didn't release any coupon codes during their run. What they provided their customers were advantages and promotions such as fast and free shipping, guaranteed delivery, good quality products, best prices, and the ability of a customer to check his or her own order.
For the free shipping perk, a customer's order must be at least $250 above to qualify.
Medstore-online.cc had a tagline that says they were the best pharmacy online. They offered Indian and European medicines. We are unable to find the location of this e-store but they informed their customers that the products they were shipping were from India and Europe. What we liked about this e-store were the different payment options they had and the different options to contact them. They had phone support team, email support team, chat support team, and a Skype team that answers calls and chats as well.
What we find uncertain about this e-store was the real reason why they closed down and why they lack customer reviews. For years of operating, they did not have a single reliable customer review and the review they had on their testimonial page was too fake to be true.

New guidelines for status reports
15/03/2021 The new regulation relating to status reports entered into force on 1 January 2021, and the revised guidelines for the status reports are now ready.
Link to revised guideline.(pdf)
The Norwegian shelf is becoming increasingly mature, and new production licences will more frequently comprise acreage that has been covered by a licence one or more times previously. In certain instances, companies will be awarded acreage that has already been thoroughly evaluated by previous licensees.
There has been more focus in recent years on whether a greater extent of sharing different types of data from the Norwegian shelf will yield more effective resource management.
Publication of status reports will improve access for companies that are considering applying for acreage that has been awarded previously. This will ensure a minimum of lessons learned from the previous licensee to the next, as well as provide insight in newer data and studies that a new licensee might consider acquiring.
The release of status reports is expected to result in efficiency gains, as new licensees can utilise previous work to avoid duplicating efforts that will not lead to new knowledge. This can yield more cost-effective exploration, both through an increased diversity of ideas and competition – as well as through reduced exploration risk. Releasing the status reports is thus presumed to come with socio-economic benefits.
The status reports are subject to confidentiality pursuant to Section 85 (4) of the Petroleum Regulations. The confidentiality for interpreted data in status reports will lapse once the production licence is surrendered, lapses, expires or when the acreage from which the data is derived is relinquished. The status reports will be made available on the NPD's Fact Pages.
The regulatory amendment entered into force on 1 January 2021. A transitional resolution for the regulatory amendment allows licensees to, within six months (i.e. 1 July 2021), request that the parts of the report that contain interpreted data submitted before the regulatory amendment entered into force, be exempted from publication. This will have to be substantiated with concrete information surrounding competitive factors related to their confidentiality.

Rockin' on the River will end its 2017 season with a rock n' roll event arriving at Black River Landing in Lorain.
Hairball will take the stage Sept. 2 for the finale of this year's weekly concert series.
They perform as arena rockers including Van Halen, KISS, Motley Crue, Queen, Journey, Aerosmith and other bands known for hard rock.
"Saturday, of course, that's the monster," said Bob Earley, founder of the Rockin' on the River concert series, about the Sept. 2 plans.
The band performs with music, along with pyrotechnics and fireworks that needed approval from the Lorain Fire Department, he said.
The band will arrive the morning of the show to set up its equipment and add an extension to the existing Black River Landing stage.
"This is just going to be the biggest production we've ever done," Earley said.
The band has posted videos online showing their performances and that is coming to northeast Ohio, he said.
The Morning Journal has Hairball tickets for sale for $10 each in advance of the show at the office from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., 2500 W. Erie Ave. in Lorain. Hairball tickets are $15 on the day of show.
Earley recommended advance sales for the best price. On Hairball's ebsite, www.hairballonline.com, the Lorain event has the lowest ticket prices of any of the band's upcoming shows. He encourages people to visit the website to see what the show will be like.
Rockin' on the River will have a special treat on Sept. 1, Earley said.
Real Diamond, the Premier Neil Diamond Tribute, will perform, but there was a change in the opening act, Earley said.
Guitar phenom Michael Weber will return with The Michael Weber Show to open the concert Sept. 1.
Weber, who is a student at Kent State University, performed Aug. 18 and received a standing ovation from the crowd, said Earley and Tom Brown, executive director of the Lorain Port Authority.
Weber sold a ton of merchandise and gained many new fans that night, Earley said.
Admission is $5 for Weber and Real Diamond.
Rockin' on the River is in its third season in Lorain.
Brown called it the best season ever, although he noted the show will be bittersweet because it is the informal end of summer at Black River Landing.
"I can't believe where our summer's gone," he said.
Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and shows run until 11 p.m.
Hairball, billed as "a bombastic celebration of arena rock," Sept. 2, 2017, will play the finale for the 2017 Rockin' on the River weekly concert series at the Lorain Port Authority's Black River Landing. Advance tickets are available this week for $10 at The Morning Journal, 2500 W. Erie Ave., Lorain.

Boston Marathon Bombings Anniversary in Pictures
By David Sim
The first anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings started with a wreath-laying ceremony at the site of the twin explosions.
The ceremony was attended by the families of the three bombing victims — Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell and Lu Lingzi — as well as relatives of Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier, who was killed in the aftermath of the blasts when the suspects, now on the run, stole his gun.

Authorities said two brothers planned and orchestrated the attack and later shot and killed Collier when they attempted to steal his gun. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died following a shootout with police. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, was captured and pleaded not guilty to 30 federal charges. He is awaiting trial and faces the possibility of the death penalty.
Prosecutors say Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left a hand-scrawled confession condemning US actions in Muslim countries on the inside of a boat he was found hiding in.

Q: is it possible to make an Excel drop down list with word used as a term by Excel.? I would like to make a drop down list based on a cell that contains true or false
What I would like to do is if the cell value is true (cell T1) I would like to show a list and if the cell value is false I would like to show another cell value
I'm pretty aware that true and false cannot be used as a cell name So I cannot apply the indirect function
How can I approach this issue ?
Thank you so much

A: A solution I could suggest would be to use the condition on the validation range - and not on the cell in question.
For example if you had TRUE/FALSE in A1 you could use:
=IF($A$1=TRUE,"A","B")

For each of the intended conditions.
If you didn't want a different list value, you could use #N/A or blank, or could point to another cell reference
Then you just point the data validation list function at that range. It will change as the condition changes

We often hear about people being swindled of their supposedly investments and those who simply fail in the business venture they have entered into. So that you can be successful in any business endeavour especially if you are new to business itself or to a specific industry, you should know a few important things before making the first actual step of starting or entering a business.
Being warned about scammers is a given. But we should be extra careful because even those people we already know can betray us because of the circumstances they are in. We should also be careful of people who are very skillful in manipulating others by talking their way towards embezzling other people. There are even those who know how to hypnotise the person they are talking to.
Working with people you trust and can actually trust to help you set up a business or enter into an industry to invest is not enough to avoid failure. You yourself should have sufficient knowledge of how things go in the specific field you want to enter or where you want to set up your own business or with others. Many newbies in the industry in which they have ventured into for the first time fail because of their lack of knowledge of how business is done in the industry.
Aside from knowing how things are done in a specific industry, you should know how business is done overall. This means that you need to know the government and industry requirements for doing business. You also need to have enough knowledge and skills for business. Having entrepreneurial attitude and abilities is a requirement. Being an excellent time manager, multi-tasker, leader, worker, negotiator and being shrewd is necessary in doing business. You should have enough amount of these qualities before starting in business. You can develop them by working with other who have started ahead of you before putting up your own. If you are already confident of the volume of these traits you can start your own enterprise and still continue to increase the level of these entrepreneurial characteristics.
As a businessman, you will need to deal with many people. You should know how to communicate and interact with people of different stature and from different sectors. There is a big difference on how you talk with high ranking officials in companies where you get raw materials and supplies from or those from where you sell your products or services to.
Before starting a business or entering the business sector, you should know that there is a period of return of investment. You cannot expect to have a net gain immediately on the first month of operations. There are fixed assets and overhead costs which you need to include in your income statement. They are figures which actually account as true expenses necessary in doing business and producing your products or providing services. As a business man, you are an investor and this means that you should know that you need to wait and know how to do so.
Also, before your you start earning some returns from the capital you have invested or, in short, net profit, you may need to pour in some additional funding. Along the way during the period from the time you started the business to the first month you expect net income to be earned, you may also need to add more financing or funds. Doing so will keep the operations going and sustain the business' ability to create income and eventually net profit. Being in business, you must know how to take care of its operations and this may mean you must put in some more money, time, effort and thought.
Business is about taking risks. Before plunging or leaping, you should check whether you have enough knowledge, skills and attitude to play and survive in the business arena. Remember that you want to enter it because of the profits you want to earn. If you are not prepared with the right amount of these requirements, you will fail. See to it that you arm yourself with these ammunitions so that you will be victorious in conquering the business world.
From my childhood to my adolescence, I was not very gutsy at taking risks. Right now, aside from having my own humble business portfolio, I also help students do some gutsy moves in the personal statement UCAS requires from them.

Q: iOS app crashes when tapping URL within UITextView I'm trying to setup a UITextView with multiple links within the text. My implementation is based on the suggestion described here. Most links work as expected, however tapping on some of them makes the app crash with the following error EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x185646694):
Crash error
Call stack
My UITextView configuration code:
private var actionableLinks = [(String, ()->Void)]() // each link = (actionableString, tapAction)

private func setupMessageText() {
    guard messageTextView != nil else { return }

    let paragraphStyle = NSMutableParagraphStyle()
    paragraphStyle.paragraphSpacingBefore = 16

    let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: messageText, attributes: [
        .font: messageTextView.font!,
        .foregroundColor: messageTextView.textColor!,
        .paragraphStyle: paragraphStyle
    ])

    addActionableLinks(to: attributedText)

    messageTextView?.attributedText = attributedText
}

private func addActionableLinks(to attributedText: NSMutableAttributedString) {
    actionableLinks.forEach {
        let actionableString = $0.0

        if let nsRange = messageText.nsRange(of: actionableString) {
            attributedText.addAttribute(.link, value: actionableString, range: nsRange)
        }
    }
}

To handle the tap action, I've imlpemented the proper UITextViewDelegate method:
func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldInteractWith URL: URL, in characterRange: NSRange, interaction: UITextItemInteraction) -> Bool {
    let tappedLinkString = URL.absoluteString

    if let link = actionableLinks.first(where: { $0.0 == tappedLinkString }) {
        let tapAction = link.1
        tapAction()

        return false
    }

    return true
}

My storyboard configuration for this screen (I have setup the UITextView delegate in the storyboard):
Storyboard Configuration
Any insights would be much appreciated! Thanks.

A: Issue solved! Thanks to Larme for the quick insights and resources.
It was indeed a case of trying to use a bad string as a link within the UITextView that internally was being converted to a URL. Since this was a string with spaces in it, internal conversion to URL by Apple was failing.
My string "support" was linking properly and it worked, but a different string "new terms and conditions" was failing.
The solution
To solve the issue, I used percent encoding when adding the link attribute to the UITextView's attributed text.
private func addActionableLinks(to attributedText: NSMutableAttributedString) {
    actionableLinks.forEach {
        let actionableString = $0.0

        if let nsRange = messageText.nsRange(of: actionableString) {
            let escapedActionableString = escapedString(actionableString)
            attributedText.addAttribute(.link, value: escapedActionableString, range: nsRange)
        }
    }
}

private func escapedString(_ string: String) -> String {
    return string.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlHostAllowed) ?? string
}

I also changed the delegate method to check for a match to an escaped string:
func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldInteractWith URL: URL, in characterRange: NSRange, interaction: UITextItemInteraction) -> Bool {
    let tappedLinkString = URL.absoluteString

    for (actionableString, tapAction) in actionableLinks {
        let escapedActionableString = escapedString(actionableString)

        if escapedActionableString == tappedLinkString {
            tapAction()
            return false
        }
    }

    return true
}

Thanks!


Best Free Mobile Casinos for Canadian Gamblers!
For people who want to be able to enjoy casino games without having to spend their hard earned money, free mobile casinos are a great choice. Not only can they access all of their favorite titles, but they can do so without any kind of payment from wherever they might be as long as they have an internet-connected smartphone or tablet.
While some folks might believe that the graphics associated with these free mobile casinos is a bit lackluster since there is no money involved, that couldn't be further from the truth. In an nutshell, these are actually real-money establishments that make some of their titles available without cost as an incentive to check everything out. It is hoped that some of the people who enjoy these titles will eventually switch to paid accounts, but no one is ever obligated to do so.
Of course, the benefits are evident in that users can take their devices with them anywhere and enjoy things such as blackjack, baccarat, roulette, poker, slots, video poker and anything else they could possibly imagine without ever having to pay a single red cent. However, most of these venues only make some of what they can offer available without cost, leaving some longing to discover the rest of their collection. Again, it is done as an incentive and the goal is to convert customers to paying customers.
Of course, in the event that users ever decide to convert to real money accounts, they can do it simply and quickly. In fact, most of these free mobile casinos have awesome bonus packages or no deposit funds that they will provide for this very reason. At any time, it is still possible to go back to the unpaid version, too. Canadian gamblers will always have these choices available to them, but before providing any information, it is important to research the establishment thoroughly to ensure safety.
These venues are incredibly convenient and offer up a great way for people to enjoy all of their favorites - blackjack, slots, poker and more - wherever they might be as long as they have an internet connection. When not connected to Wi-Fi, it is important to check with the cellular provider as data charges can and will apply. These applications are quite data-intensive so using a Wi-Fi connection when possible is recommended.

EXHUMED United States
reverbnation facebook twitter youtube bandcamp
EXHUMED - Decrepit Crescendo
The one and only! Introducing another legendary headliner of OEF 2018!!! The headline makes it clear that we're talking about the American grinding gore act EXHUMED!!! The band, formed around main-brain Matt Harvey has been around since 1991 when Matt (then 15 years-old) founded it. There's no need to list all the albums and acheivements of the band as they've grown from a garage band to a world-famous force-to-be-reckoned-with through the years!!!
We are excited to welcome them back to OEF for the third time - we remember their first time at the festival at OEF 3 back in 2001 when they leveled the battlefield!!! At this year's OEF, EXHUMED will crush us all with a special "old-school" set, featuring only material from their essential records "Gore Metal," "Slaughtercult," and "In the Name of Gore"!!! No gravestone will remain unturned and no one will leave the battlefield unbloodied!!!
Formed in 1991, when the band's sole remaining founding member Matt Harvey was at the tender age of 15, Exhumed spent much of the ensuing decade hacking its way through numerous line-ups, demos, split CDs, and Eps. The band finally recorded their debut album, the genre-(re)defining and critic-repulsing Gore Metal in 1998. The album crystallized the "old-school Death Metal meets full-on Grindcore with the spirit of Thrash" sound forged with their last demo and first split CD (1994's Horrific Expulsion of Gore and 1996's In the Name of Gore respectively – the band envisioned the three releases as a trilogy of sorts).
Gore Metal led to the enlistment of then-bassist Bud Burke to complete the line-up for the band's first US tour and festival appearances (their only previous touring had been 9 dates in central Europe in 1997 with Hemdale supporting In the Name of Gore). Exhumed upped the ante with their go-for-the-throat sophomore record Slaughtercult in 2001. The album blatantly blended the band's brutal cult-thrash influences into its sonic meat-grinder and sparked multiple US tours and their first proper European tour, including co-headlining festivals like Fuck the Commerce and Obscene Extreme and appearing at Wacken Open Air. 2002 even brought the band to Japan for the first time and saw them as an unlikely opener for Rob Halford's West Coast tour.
The band evolved further with their third album, 2003's Anatomy is Destiny with more sophisticated arrangements, production and instrumentation within the gore metal formula. After the departure of the band's co-founder, drummer Col Jones (Repulsion, Cretin, Mortuous) the same year, the band issued a massive 2CD compilation of their early recordings, appropriately dubbed Platters of Splatter. After touring all over America, Canada, Europe, Japan, Australia and Iceland, the band realigned its personnel yet again, notably adding guitarist Wes Caley (Fatalist, ex-Uphill Battle) and the re-enlisting bassist/vocalist Leon DelMuerte (Murder Construct, ex-Impaled). The revamped line-up released an album of cover versions called Garbage Daze Re-Regurgitated in 2005 which was intended as a stopgap release before a new album. Work was also undertaken on a DVD with live footage and documentary material, but the band's dissolution in '05 left the project in limbo.
After six years away from the scene and numerous other projects, Harvey, Caley, and del Muerte teamed up with drummer Danny Walker (Intronaut, Murder Construct, Phobia), who had toured with the band during the Anatomy... era, for their acclaimed comeback album, "All Guts, No Glory" in 2011. The album earned them spots on numerous top 20 lists for 2011, including Decibel Magazine (#13) and Pitchfork's Metal column, Show No Mercy (#11). With the positive reception of the record, Exhumed undertook a grueling road schedule which led to the enlistment of a full-time, road-worthy line up. Mike Hamilton (Deeds of Flesh, ex-Vile) took over the drum throne, Rob "Body Bag" Babcock (ex-Gravehill) assumed bass and low vocal duties, and Caley was eventually replaced with Exhumed alumnus Bud Burke, this time on lead guitar.
Somewhere in the middle of all of this touring, the band found the time to write and record a new album, Necrocracy, released August 6, 2013 to critical acclaim from publications like Decibel, New Noise, MetalSucks, Stereokiller, and PopMatters, all of whom included the album on the best-of lists for 2013. Exhumed followed up that release with a split alongside Relapse label-mates Iron Reagan (2014), and then returned to the studio to fully re-record their 1998 classic Gore Metal. The recording, titled Gore Metal: A Necrospective, also featured the return of bassist / vocalist Ross Sewage as well as completely new artwork and was packaged as a deluxe 2CD set.
Now in 2017, Exhumed return with their 6th full-length as they tread into ambitious new territory with their first concept album. Lock the mausoleum doors and chain up the cemetery gates – Death Revenge is a musical melodrama in thirteen parts based on shocking true events Death Revenge takes place in the late 1820s in Edinburgh, Scotland and tells the macabre tale of a series of brutal murders where the victims' cadavers were sold to anatomists, amid a grisly underground trade of grave-robbery. Recorded with producer Jarrett Pritchard (Goatwhore, Hate Eternal, Gruesome), Death Revenge takes the band's signature gore-drenched, death metal mayhem to theatrical and ghastly new depths.

Q: Stream network doesn't match the reality? I am trying to create flow accumulation grid in ArcMap using Arc Hydro.
I have the DEM (25mX25m) and the stream network shapefile.
I have done the following
1)Resampled the DEM to 5m;
2)Burnt the stream network in the DEM using DEM reconditioning;
3)Filled the sinks;
4)Created flow direction grid; and
5)Created flow accumulation grid.
The flow accumulation grid I have created was matching well with the reality in most of the catchment. However, in the middle part of the catchment, two streams are connected while they are not connected in reality. In addition, the catchment outlet created by Arc Hydro was not matching with the reality as illustrated below.

Any recommendations how can I make the flow accumulation grid created by Arc Hydro match the reality would be appreciated?
Thanks in advance for your help and time.

A: Your stream network is only ever going to be as good as your DEM is. If there are issues in the DEM, the results may be less than optimal.
Besides that, the methods for sink / pit removal in ArcGIS seem to be less than optimal in specific cases (e.g. relatively flat wide areas in the DEM). Stephen Jackson of the University of Texas, Center for Research in Water Resources, developed an alternative approach and ArcGIS extension that may give more accurate results.
Have a look here:
Optimized Pit Removal tool by Stephen Jackson.
And see this ESRI blog post:
http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/03/05/optimized-tool-for-dem-pit-removal-now-available/

A: Topography is not the only factor that controls stream location.  Steams can meander and cut into higher ground.  This is particularly the can where the ground is made of alluvial sediments that are easily remobilised.
I should also say that SRTM data does not always locate the lowest ground due to its spatial resolutions and slope determination issues inherent in the technology.  In short, your DEM may be out and therefore your predicted stream may not agree with reality.  I have experienced both the above issues.

A: Burning the hydro network into the DEM is not ideal. It alters the DEM in subtle ways & does not create a proper hydrologically enforced DEM. Burning is basically enforcing a downward elevation change in the DEM to route flow downstream. Certainly, the resampling will have an effect depending on how it was done, I'm unclear why 5m? A mention of the DEM data source data type, ie integer or float would help.
I would recommend using the ESRI Topo to raster tool to create your DEM. It requires you going back to source data such as contour/spot heights & the river network. ESRI's implementation is based on an older version of ANUDEM. This software is used exclusively for creating hydrological enforced DEM's for surface water analysis. When it constructs the DEM, it factors in the river network & how it must flow downstream. Derivatives created from the DEM (flow direction/flow accumulation) will honour the stream network.

A: In general, the methods for solution implemented through two main steps: (i) calculating
a flow direction matrix (8d) from elevation data and then , (ii) measuring the area that
contributes to each DEM cell and delineating the channel network based on an
empirical threshold value that should be determined according to landscape
characteristics.
You can also use integration of image precessing of satellite imagery.

A: You may want to try using FILL SINKS PLUS instead of the conventional FILL SINKS operation in ArcHydro. FILL SINKS PLUS was developed to overcome the limitations that FILL SINK has for relatively flat topographies.
You can download this tool freely from http://www.lago-consulting.com/fill_sinks_plus.html. You can ask for support or send comments to marcelo@lago-consulting.com or support@lago-consulting.com.

Q: Efficient card shuffling with two/three people I have a problem with card shuffling.
More specifically, I have a problem with shuffling a lot of cards. I own the card game Exploding Kittens, along with all three expansion packs, and I have sleeved every card (as the damage to the most-used cards acts as inadvertent card-marking). There are 167 cards in a full deck, and with the sleeves I'm using that results in a stack of cards 112mm tall.
This is an unwieldy amount of cards for anyone, and this game requires regular shuffling of the deck, as well as an initial shuffle. As this is a card-drawing game, this results in a large delay to game play. I would like to know if there is a method of combining the most common simple shuffling techniques (overhand and riffle/Faro) with splitting the deck and swapping piles with the people next to you that is optimised for both speed and randomness.
NB: I mentioned Faro shuffling above as the card sleeves I'm using make Faro shuffling extremely easy.
The problem is thus: in an average game of Exploding Kittens, players are required to shuffle anywhere between 1 and 140-167 cards (167 is the initial shuffle, 140 is the upper limit for in-game shuffling). Below 50 cards the deck is manageable by one person. For decks of 51 to 167 cards, up to 3 people are required to shuffle the deck quickly. What is the the combination of overhand shuffling, riffle/Faro shuffling and splitting the deck and sharing it with your neighbour that results in the optimal combination of speed (10-20s) and randomisation?
