E-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) could be dangerous to your health. Recent tests conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that two popular brands of e-cigarettes contained carcinogens and other dangerous substances. Yet, some companies that market e-cigarettes claim they are not as harmful as traditional cigarettes. What's worse, e-cigarettes are often marketed and sold to young people, even children.
Most e-cigarette users would be shocked at what was found in these devices. The hazardous substances included a highly-toxic chemical used to make antifreeze. The FDA also found that some e-cigarettes labeled as having no nicotine actually contained the addictive substance.
Our e-cigarette lawyers are investigating potential lawsuits against the distributors of these highly dangerous products. If you smoke e-cigarettes because of claims that they are safer than traditional cigarettes, you may be entitled to compensation. Please contact one of our e-cigarette lawyers right away to protect your legal rights.
What Are E-Cigarettes?
Electronic cigarettes could be dangerous to your health
E-cigarettes are battery-operated devices that generally contain cartridges filled with nicotine, flavor, and other chemicals. The electronic cigarette turns nicotine, which is highly addictive, and other chemicals, into a vapor that is inhaled by the user. E-cigarettes are sold online, in retail shops, and at mall kiosks around the country for about $100 to $200.
Because these products have not been submitted to the FDA for evaluation or approval, there is no way of knowing how much nicotine or other chemicals they deliver to the user; however, limited testing conducted by the FDA has raised alarms. According to the agency, e-cigarettes are marketed and sold to young people. In addition, these products do not contain any health warnings comparable to FDA-approved nicotine replacement products or conventional cigarettes. They are also available in different flavors, such as chocolate and mint, which may appeal to young people.
The FDA has been stopping shipments of e-cigarettes at the border since 2008. As of July 2009, 50 shipments had been refused, but e-cigarettes are still widely available in the United States. Canada fully banned the devices in March 2009.
The FDA believes that e-cigarettes are both a drug and a device, making them subject to regulation under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. However, one of the companies that markets e-cigarettes filed suit against the FDA in April 2009, claiming that the agency overstepped its authority by banning shipments and insisting that e-cigarettes go through the drug approval process.
STUDY: E-CIGARETTES CONTAINING NICOTINE ARE TIED TO AN INCREASED RISK OF HEART ATTACK, STROKE
A recent study has found that electronic cigarettes containing nicotine are becoming more and more popular as smokers are seeking to quit smoking traditional cigarettes; however, the cigarettes have been associated with increased risks for heart attack and stroke, according to a September 2017 report by The Independent.
E-cigarettes are often thought to be the next step for individuals who are trying to quit smoking, but this study suggests e-cigarettes may be more dangerous than previously believed, The Independent reported. In fact, many smokers believe that e-cigarettes are a healthier option when compared to traditional cigarettes; however, researchers from the Karolinska Institute note that, e-cigarettes, when they contain nicotine, may increase the likelihood of the e-cigarette smoker suffering a heart attack or stroke. The Karolinska Institute, a medical university in Stockholm, found that vaping devices containing nicotine might lead to stiffening of the arteries, an increase in heart rate, and increased blood pressure. In the United Kingdom, vaping is a £1billion industry and continues to grow.
For their study, the researchers recruited 15 healthy volunteers who had never smoked e-cigarettes. The research revealed that, 30 minutes after vaping, the participants experienced a significant increase in blood pressure, heart rate, and arterial stiffness. Of note, the participants who smoked e-cigarettes with nicotine experienced side effects.
The lead researcher, Dr. Magnus Lundback said that, "The number of e-cigarette users has increased dramatically in the last few years. E-cigarettes are regarded by the general public as almost harmless. The industry markets their product as a way to reduce harm and to help people to stop smoking tobacco cigarettes." He added that, although "the safety of e-cigarettes is debated, and a growing body of evidence is suggesting several adverse health effects" … "in this study we found there was a significant increase in heart rate and blood pressure in the volunteers who were exposed to e-cigarettes containing nicotine. Arterial stiffness increased around three-fold in those who were exposed to nicotine-containing e-cigarettes compared with the nicotine-free group." Dr. Lundback believes repeated usage of e-cigarettes might have permanent effects despite the small study size and that the effects in the study were temporary, according to The Independent.
Dr. Tim Chico, is a Reader in Cardiovascular Medicine and a consultant cardiologist, University of Sheffield, said that, "Electronic cigarettes are certain to have some health effects, and it is very
important that non-smokers do not start using them erroneously thinking that they are harmless."
STUDY: E-CIGARETTES MAY BE AS HARMFUL AS TOBACCO CIGARETTES
A University of Connecticut (UConn) study found that e-cigarettes are potentially as harmful as tobacco cigarettes, according to June 2017 Science Daily report.
The chemists used a new device that rapidly detects carcinogenic chemicals and DNA damage from e-cigarette vapor and summarized that, "Nicotine-based e-cigarettes are potentially as harmful as unfiltered cigarettes when it comes to causing DNA damage, new research indicates." In fact, according to Science Daily, "The results of tests conducted by UConn chemists show that nicotine electronic cigarettes are equivalent, if not slightly worse, than unfiltered (nf) tobacco cigarettes when it comes to causing DNA damage. Non-nicotine (nn) e-cigarettes cause damage similar to filtered tobacco cigarettes," the researchers added.
The team used a new 3-D printed testing device and found that e-cigarettes containing a nicotine-based liquid are potentially as damaging to DNA as unfiltered cigarettes. The researchers also found that vapor from non-nicotine e-cigarettes caused the same level of DNA damage as filtered cigarettes, potentially due to the many chemical additives found in e-cigarette vapors. Cellular mutations caused by DNA damage may lead to cancer, according to Science Daily. The study results appear in the journal ACS Sensors.
The degree of DNA damage e-cigarettes cause is dependent on the amount of vapor the smoker inhales, other additives present in the device, if nicotine or non-nicotine liquid is used, and other factors, according to Karteek Kadimisetty, a post-doctoral researcher in UConn's chemistry department and the study's lead author, wrote Science Daily. "From the results of our study, we can conclude that e-cigarettes have as much potential to cause DNA damage as unfiltered regular cigarettes," Kadimisetty added.
The UConn researchers reviewed if the chemicals in e-cigarettes might cause damage to human DNA while also testing a new electro-optical screening device the researchers developed. The small 3-D printed device is believed to be the first device of its kind that is quickly capable of detecting genotoxicity (DNA damage) in environmental samples in the field, according to the researchers, Science Daily reported.
The testing device uses micropumps that push liquid samples across multiple so-called "microwells" that are embedded within a small carbon chip. The microwells are pre-loaded with reactive human metabolic enzymes, as well as DNA. When the samples are dropped into the microwells, new metabolites with the potential to cause DNA damage develop. Reactions between the metabolites and the DNA generate light captured by a camera. Within five minutes, users are able to see how much relative DNA damage a sample produces by the intensity of the light that is seen in each microwell, Science Daily explained. The uniqueness of the device is that it is able to convert chemicals into their metabolites during testing, replicating what occurs in the human body, Kadimisetty said.
Bioassays used today to determine the genotoxicity of environmental samples may be more comprehensive; however, they are also often time-consuming and costly, while the array developed at UConn provides an important initial screening tool for genotoxicity in a significantly shorter period of time—just minutes. The chip central to the device is also disposable and costs just $1 due to 3-D printing advances. "What we developed is very cheap to make, efficient, and can be used by almost anyone," said UConn chemistry professor James Rusling, the study's senior researcher. In fact, affordable and efficient "labs on a chip" is a specialty of Rusling's lab. These were previously created miniature arrays that are able to detect antibodies to food allergens and cancer biomarker proteins. According to Rusling, similar arrays could be potentially used for quick genotoxic screening during drug development, for monitoring or testing fresh water supplies, and for the early detection of aggressive forms of cancer.
For this study, the researchers extracted samples from e-cigarettes and tobacco cigarettes by using an artificial inhalation technique. The cigarettes were connected to a tube containing a cotton plug. Researchers used a syringe at the other end of the tube that replicated inhalation. Samples were taken from the chemicals found in the cotton. The team created their test for 20 puffs of an e-cigarette, which is roughly the same as smoking a single tobacco cigarette. This ratio, according to Science Daily, has been supported by other research. The team gathered samples at 20, 60, and 100 puffs and found that the potential DNA damage from e-cigarettes increased with the number of puffs, Kadimisetty noted. "Some people use e-cigarettes heavily because they think there is no harm," he said. "We wanted to see exactly what might be happening to DNA, and we had the resources in our lab to do that."
There is the potential of hundreds of chemicals in e-cigarettes that might add to DNA damage, according to Kadimisetty. UConn did not test for every chemical, but did target three known carcinogenic chemicals that are found in tobacco cigarettes. "The researchers loaded their device's microwells with specific enzymes that would convert those chemicals into metabolites. If these chemicals were in the sample, the test gave them a reading for genotoxicity. If the chemicals were not present, there would be no reaction," reported Science Daily.
Study Suggests E-Cigs May Carry Heart Disease Risk
E-cigarettes have risen in popularity within the past decade. They are often marketed as a healthier alternative to smoking or as a smoking cessation tool. However, experts point out that these devices have not been on the market long. As such, we know little about the long-term health consequences of vaping (the process of smoking an e-cigarette). Safety advocates have favored regulating e-cigarettes, especially with regard to marketing toward adolescents. Studies have also shown that e-cigarettes are not completely harmless. In December 2016, a study published in the journal Atherosclerosis found that taking ten puffs on an e-cigarette triggered changes associated with an increased risk of heart disease. The study was conducted by Swedish researchers at the world-renowned Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. Sixteen participants who seldom smoked were randomized into groups that were either exposed to vaping or not. Those in the vaping group were asked to take 10 puffs on an e-cigarette for 10 minutes. Blood samples were taken at baseline, and 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours after exposure to e-cigarettes.
Study authors reported a "rapid rise" in the level of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) within the first hour. Increased levels of EPCs indicates damage to the inner lining of blood vessels. The "very short exposure to e-cigarette vapor … may indicate an impact on vascular integrity leading to future atherosclerosis," the authors wrote. Atherosclerosis is the hardening of the arteries; this narrows the flow of blood and leads to cardiovascular disease, which can manifest as heart attack, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.
In fact, it took 24 hours for EPCs to return to normal. The authors found that the increased levels of EPCs following vaping with the e-cigarette was comparable to that of smoking one traditional cigarette, concluding that, "In healthy volunteers, ten puffs of e-cigarette vapor inhalation caused an increase in EPCs. This increase was of the same magnitude as following smoking of one traditional cigarette, as we previously demonstrated. Taken together, these results may represent signs of possible vascular changes after short e-cigarette inhalation. Further studies analyzing potential cardiovascular health effects are critical as the e-cigarette market continues to burgeon."
Professor Joep Perk, heart specialist and spokesman for the European Society of Cardiology, expressed concern and surprise that short exposure to e-cigarettes could trigger such physiological changes. "It really surprises me that so little vapor from an e-cigarette is needed to start the heart disease ball rolling." he said, according to the Daily Mail UK. "It's worrying that one e-cigarette can trigger such a response."
Further studies are needed to determine if long-term e-cigarette users have a higher risk of developing heart disease. However, the researchers pointed out that the average user takes 230 puffs daily, suggesting that this type of exposure could lead to significant health consequences.
This is not the only study to suggest that vaping may trigger changes leading to atherosclerosis. In August 2016, researchers from the University of Athens Medical School presented findings at the world's largest cardiology conference suggesting that puffing on an e-cigarette for half an hour produced similar changes in stiffness in the aorta compared to tobacco cigarettes. Both products also increased blood pressure. E-cigarettes are less harmful [than smoking tobacco] but they are not harmless." said lead researcher Professor Charalambos Vlachopulos at the time. "I wouldn't recommend them as a method of giving up smoking." Also, in July 2016, a group of 13 health bodies in the United Kingdom issued a statement advocating that conventional smokers should switch to e-cigarettes because evidence shows they are substantially less harmful. However, not all regulatory bodies or experts agree. In the United States and Europe, regulators have taken a more precautionary approach.
Dr. Filippos Filippidis, lecturer in public health at Imperial College, London, told the Daily Mail UK, "Only time will tell who is right, but my personal opinion is that some more caution would be prudent until the evidence is more clear." He pointed out that, "Very soon, major tobacco companies will enter the market with their own e-cigarettes or similar products that promise harm reduction. I would feel very uncomfortable promoting products created by companies which have caused so much death and pain. I don't think we could trust them with our people's health."
Filippidis also emphasized the need for more research, stating "We don't know whether we may start to see diseases emerge in ten or 20 years' time associated with some of the ingredients. We urgently need more research into the devices."
Research Reveals that E-Cigarette Flavoring and Battery Voltage are Tied to Cellular Toxicity
Evidence reveals that the flavorings used in e-cigarettes and other vaping products induce acute inhalation toxicity at the cellular level, according to a September 2016 report by MedPage Today. In fact, some flavorings were found to be more toxic than others.
The study was published online in BMJ's Tobacco Control. Of the five flavors tested, strawberry was found to be the most toxic to bronchial cells. Prior studies revealed, and this was also found in this research, that higher battery output voltage was tied to higher toxicity in what was described as a dose-dependent manner.
Although the chemical compounds that create flavorings were not studied, researchers from Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York, found that menthol, coffee, and strawberry flavors revealed a significant and intense affect on overall cytotoxicity (being toxic to cells); piña colada and tobacco flavors were associated with less cytotoxicity, according to MedPage Today.
"Our data indicate that combinations of product, voltages, and flavorings exist that are cytotoxic to airway epithelial cells," wrote Maciej L. Goniewicz, PhD, PharmD, and colleagues. "Since our study focused on the acute effects of flavored electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) products, our observations require verification in chronic exposure models, more relevant to regular use of ENDS products." Goniewicz also wrote to MedPage Today about calling for the flavoring compounds in e-cigarettes to be evaluated and tested to determine possible potential toxicity and safety: "Many of these flavorings have been widely used in foods and cosmetics, but they have never been tested when inhaled. With the rise of e-cigarette popularity, we need to be cautious and develop accurate and fast screening methods for inhalation effects of such flavorings."
For this study, researchers used a new testing method known as "air-liquid interface" culture (ALI). ALI allowed for direct cell exposure to ENDS aerosol generated via a smoking machine, according to MedPage Today. Different ENDS products, or a tank system pre-filled with liquids of different flavors and nicotine concentrations, were tested, as were different battery output voltages. Flavoring chemicals were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
Six types of ENDS were bought at gas stations, convenience stores, online retailers, and local vape shops in Buffalo, New York and Daly City, California. Refill solutions were bought from a Buffalo vape shop for tank systems in the five flavors tested. H292 human bronchial epithelial cells were exposed to 55 puffs of fresh ENDS aerosol, tobacco smoke, or air (controls). Assessment was conducted of in vitro cell viability, metabolic activity, and cytokines release.
"Interestingly, it was not nicotine or nicotine solvents, but other additives in e-cigarettes that affected respiratory cells used in our study," Goniewicz said, according to MedPage Today. Goniewicz and his co-researchers pointed out that the review of flavors, not flavoring compounds, was a study limitation that called for further research. "Further studies are needed to investigate the cytotoxic effect of single flavoring chemicals in ENDS liquids, combinations of these ingredients, and the effects of alternate ENDS liquid products with the same flavor name. Our study indicates that testing toxicity of ENDS products should not be limited to individual flavoring chemicals, since the ENDS liquids are complex mixtures, and other product features (e.g., voltage) contribute to overall toxicity of ENDS aerosol."
Study Shows That E-Cigarette Flavorings May Pose a Risk to Heart Health
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have flooded the marketplace over the past five years, presenting an alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes that is appealing to many existing smokers. Free from the smell of traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes have many attributes that traditional cigarettes do not have. Not only do smokers like the idea of smoking a device that is essentially a vaporizer, but many non-smokers like the fact that the emissions from an e-cigarette are unlike second-hand smoke, and the smell does not stick to clothing or hair like traditional cigarettes.
However, e-cigarettes carry many risks that healthcare professionals and smokers are only beginning to learn about. Not only have e-cigarettes injured users from spontaneous explosions caused by ion batteries, but the nicotine and other chemicals contained in e-cigarettes can be just as damaging or even more damaging than the tobacco and nicotine contained in traditional cigarettes. Additionally, because e-cigarettes are still relatively new, very few laws and regulations exist to ensure consumers understand the negative health consequences of using e-cigarettes, especially teens and young adults, a growing group of individuals jumping on the e-cigarette bandwagon
A New Risk of Using E-Cigarettes – Flavorings and Heart Health
A recent study demonstrates a new risk of using e-cigarettes that may come as a surprise to many people. According to a study published by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, e-cigarette flavorings pose a health risk to users separate and apart from the nicotine and other chemicals present in e-cigarettes. The study specifically found that in laboratory tests that exposed cells that mimicked those found in a human's cardiovascular system, the presence of e-cigarette flavorings triggered blood vessel dysfunction. Such a reaction may increase the chances a person will develop heart disease. The study found that the two most toxic flavorings were menthol and cinnamon.
While the study is certainly not conclusive of how e-cigarette flavorings affect a user's cardiovascular system, the study does demonstrate that further testing and research is necessary to determine the multiple risks of using e-cigarettes. Additional testing and research can help the federal and state governments regulate e-cigarette manufacturers, ensuring that e-cigarette users are fully aware of what risks are associated with using smokeless devices. The results of such testing and research can shape the types of warnings that may be required on e-cigarette packaging.
Additionally, because so many teenagers and young adults have picked up the habit of using e-cigarettes (many of which never used traditional cigarettes to begin with), an urgency exists to find out the long-term consequences of using e-cigarettes, such as the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and various cancers. It took time for the tobacco industry to come clean about the link between using traditional cigarettes and lung cancer. As such, health professionals and researchers may feel compelled to act quickly to ensure all e-cigarette users know what they are getting into before deciding to inhale what has proven to be a product just as addictive as traditional cigarettes.
FDA Finalizes Rules for E-Cigarettes, Other Tobacco Products
On August 8, 2016 a new FDA rule went into effect regarding regulation of all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, cigars, and hookah and pipe tobacco. The agency was given the authority to regulate cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco, and smokeless tobacco products in June 2009, under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act. The new rule expanded this authority to include all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, cigars, hookah and pipe tobacco, as well as nicotine gels and dissolvables.
The new FDA regulations mandate health warnings on cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco and certain other tobacco products. Free samples are also banned under the new rule. Tobacco products that were introduced after February 15, 2007 will now have to be authorized by the FDA, proving that the products meet certain standards. The new rule also places an age restriction on newly regulated tobacco products, prohibiting sales to anyone under the age of 18 and requiring photo identification. Additionally, tobacco products cannot be sold in vending machines unless they are sold in an adult-only facility.
"Before this final rule, these products could be sold without any review of their ingredients, how they were made, and their potential dangers," said Mitch Zeller, J.D., director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, according to the FDA Consumer Update page. "Under this new rule, we're taking steps to protect Americans from the dangers of tobacco products, ensure these tobacco products have health warnings, and restrict sales to minors."
The agency noted that "some tobacco products have the potential to be less harmful than others. But more evidence is needed. The agency is exploring this issue with respect to tobacco regulation."
FDA E-cigarette Tests
Because of its concerns about the safety of e-cigarettes, the FDA had its Division of Pharmaceutical Analysis test a small sample of cartridges from two leading brands of electronic cigarettes: Smoking Everywhere and Njoy. The tests found the following:
Diethylene glycol was detected in one cartridge at approximately one percent. Diethylene glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze, is toxic to humans.
Certain tobacco-specific nitrosamines, which are human carcinogens were detected in half of the samples tested.
Tobacco-specific impurities suspected of being harmful to humans: Anabasine, myosmine, and β-nicotyrine-were detected in a majority of the samples tested.
The electronic cigarette cartridges that were labeled as containing no nicotine had low levels of nicotine present in all cartridges tested, except one.
Three different electronic cigarette cartridges wi
th the same label were tested and each cartridge emitted a markedly different amount of nicotine with each puff. The nicotine levels per puff ranged from 26.8 to 43.2 mcg nicotine/100 mL puff.
One high-nicotine cartridge delivered twice as much nicotine to users when the vapor from that electronic cigarette brand was inhaled than was delivered by a sample of the nicotine inhalation product (used as a control) approved by FDA for use as a smoking cessation aid.
At an FDA news conference to discuss the e-cigarette test results, Jonathan Winickoff, MD, chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics Tobacco Consortium, expressed concerns that the devices-especially those that come in flavors-might appeal to kids. He said e-cigarettes could cause kids to become addicted to nicotine and turn them into smokers.
In a statement that followed the release of the FDA test results, the American Lung Association said that it shared the agency's concerns. The group urged the FDA "to act immediately to halt the sale and distribution of all e-cigarettes unless the products have been reviewed and approved for sale by the FDA."

Statutes Of Limitation


Audio Reign are a South Aussie band who have been around for a number of years now. They push the straight up and down, four on the floor hard rock agenda pretty hard, and this is simultaneously their biggest drawback and their greatest selling point.
When it comes to the former, this is a style of music in which it is almost impossible to push any kind of envelope, it is hamstrung from any kind of progression due to its very nature. If it progressed anywhere beyond what it has been for the last four decades plus, it would cease to be what it is, if you know what I mean. Thus, you feel as though you are listening to something that could have been written in 1988, rather than in 2018. That said, it is a different story as far as the actual recording is concerned, this record sounds like it was recorded this year, it has that real modern sharpness to it, the production does not sound dated at all. This is a dichotomy within the dichotomy.
On the plus side, there are still plenty of people around the nation and across the planet who still love this kind of music, so there is a serious audience out there for them.
On top of this, while the overriding vibe of the record is old school hard and heavy rock 'n' roll, Audio Reign make some very solid attempts to shake things up and provide some contrast and dynamics across the course of the 11 tracks on offer here. Take mid-album scorcher The Portrait for example. Opening quietly and quirkily, it veritably explodes at the 1min20 mark and strays quite strongly and confidently into old school metal territory (see what I mean about it ceasing to be what it is?). Elsewhere, they pull right back on the accelerator and give the ear a real break from the onslaught of loud guitars (Senses, Shining Lights). Then there's Make Me Feel, a real epic at well over seven minutes, which takes you through several twists and turns across its length.
So, much kudos to these guys for trying something different within the limiting confines of their genre. The album is so much better for it. If you love the classic hard rock sound, with a sprinkling of something a little new and different on the top, check these guys and this album out, you will find much to love here.

"Session Topic: Thank you for the surgery: Dickinson Revising/Revising Dickinson. One of the founding scandals of Emily Dickinson's publication history is the revision of her work in early editions – including the alteration of punctuation, addition of titles, changes of words and rhymes, and rearrangement of line- and stanza-breaks. These revisions are now generally considered violations of Dickinson's work, but were once considered more or less standard editorial interventions, part of the process of bringing handwritten manuscripts into print editions. However, Dickinson herself revised many of her poems, and, in one well-documented exchange, did so in response to specific criticisms from her sister-in-law."

First Editions Club Presents Marlon James, Black Leopard, Red Wolf
To be clear Marlon James is the author, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is the book title. Hm that sentence doesn't clear it up all that much. The title of the book is Black Leopard followed by comma followed by Red Wolf! There we go, all set. Anyway it's also supposed to be extremely good and you should take a chance to meet the author! "Drawing from African history and mythology and his own rich imagination, Marlon James has written a novel unlike anything that's come before it: a saga of breathtaking adventure that's also an ambitious, involving read. Defying categorization and full of unforgettable characters, Black Leopard, Red Wolf is both surprising and profound as it explores the fundamentals of truth, the limits of power, and our need to understand them both."

Just around the corner marks the one-year anniversary of The Artichoke's Life. Besides one year, I did 37 (well, now 38) blogs. I started off with an ambitious goal. I wanted to do this blog twice a week. In the beginning, I was doing that. Then summer hit, and boy did it hit me, like a bug on the windshield of a car. OK, I probably just went too far with the visual. But that is how it felt at the time. So, I realized that I need to step back and keep it to once a week.
Tuesday's have become my Blog day. I draft out some ideas over the weekend. I have a couple in the hopper waiting to be fleshed out. Sometimes I wake up on Tuesday and start typing away. Those are the ones that have more typos, when I rush them and don't proof them. It is weird about typing, the words in my head just don't always seem to make it to my fingers. If I was bored, I would probably go back and fix some of the past blogs. But they are like children, and I have learned to accept them as is with their flaws.
I woke up this morning thinking about submittals. I then had a couple of ideas for the blog. But I started to second guess myself. Did I already write a blog on submittals? I went back through the blogs and started to organize them. After I added the date and title info to the word documents, I had not written a blog on submittals. But in my usual ADD way, I ended up realizing that the one-year mark was close.
Looking back at the past year, this has been fun. I hope that you have had as much fun reading these as I have writing them. Some of the past topics have been, Sketching, The Dream Project, Friday, I'm a Big Kid Now, the Road to CONSTRUCT and one of my personal favorites The Network Family. The good news, I did not blog about submittals. So, I need to create another place holder before I forget. Yes, it happens all the time. I will think of a good idea for a blog while driving or doing other stuff around the house and forget about by the time the weekend rolls around.
In retrospect, it has been a good year. I'm excited for the next year. One more thing to make a note for the next year. CSINext will be celebrating it's 10th year this fall. Not sure how we will handle the virtual party, but hopefully there will be some sort of celebration. Until next time, cheers!
A crocodile can't poke its tongue out.

What we know about the 11 victims, suspect in the Michigan high school shooting
By: WXYZ Staff, Scripps National
Posted at 6:44 AM, Dec 01, 2021
OXFORD, Mich. — Four people have died and seven others are wounded after being shot at a Michigan high school Tuesday afternoon. The suspect in the shooting is now facing first-degree murder charges.
What we know so far about those who've passed
The four people who have passed away as a result of the Oxford High School shooting have been identified as 16-year-old Tate Myre, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin, and 17-year-old Justin Shilling.
Baldwin family
Madisyn Baldwin, 17, was one of three people who were shot and killed at Oxford High School on Tuesday afternoon.
A 14-year-old girl is in critical condition with chest and neck gunshot wounds. She underwent surgery and is currently on a ventilator. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said it is "looking tough" for this girl.
Two other victims are in critical condition, a 15-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the head and a 17-year-old girl.
Other victims include:
A 14-year-old boy in serious condition
A 17-year-old girl in stable condition
A 15-year-old boy in stable condition
A 47-year-old teacher discharged with a graze wound
One of the students who passed away, Tate Myre, played football for Oxford High School and had recently visited the University of Toledo, according to a tweet sent on Nov. 28.
Oxford Football paid tribute to Myre, writing, "It is with great grief that one of the victims of the tragic event at OHS today was one of our own, Tate Myre. Tate was on varsity since his freshman year and was an honor student. Tate was a great young man with a bright future and beloved by all. You will be missed, Tate. Tate was a wonderful young man who was tremendously hardworking and respectful. He was a tremendous football player with the brightest of futures and was an even better young man off the field as he was on it. We all loved Tate and he will so very much be missed."
(WXYZ)
Tate Myre, 16, was one of three people killed at Oxford High School on Tuesday. A shooter opened fired after 12 p.m. at the school, injuring 8 others.
What we know so far about the suspect and the shooting
A 15-year-old student, a sophomore at the school, has been taken into custody. Police say he fired 15-20 shots at the school in the south end, and he was taken into custody within five minutes.
Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald identified the student as Ethan Crumbley and she announced Wednesday that he's facing four counts of first-degree murder, one count of terrorism causing death, seven counts of assault with intent to murder, and 12 counts of a firearm in the commission of a felony. He's being charged as an adult.
The prosecutor added that her office is considering charges against both of the suspected shooter's parents.
"We will be making a decision swiftly," she said regarding those possible charges.
Police said the suspect's father purchased the gun that was used in the shooting four days ago. They found seven rounds in the 9mm pistol when they took him into custody.
"As they were coming down the hall, they saw him, he put his hands up, they took his gun and took him into custody," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said during an evening press conference.
What we know about the suspect in the Oxford High School shooting
He commended the hundreds of first responders that assisted at the scene.
"I'm extremely proud of the deputies, our partners, the fire departments, and EMS for their intervening actions," Boucharad said. "I believe they literally saved lives having taken down the suspect with a loaded firearm still in the building."
Dr. Tressa Gardner with McLaren Health Care spoke during the evening briefing and said their system initiated their incident command by shutting down surgeries and activating additional resources to prepare for victims that would need treatment.
"We're in a partnership together (with the sheriff's department)," Gardner said. "The quick notification from the sheriff's department initiated the activation of our trauma team."
According to police, the suspect's parents have been in contact with the suspect and told him not to talk to the police. Police say the parents have also hired a lawyer. He is currently being held at Children's Village.
Authorities said they received over 100 calls to 911 about the shooting at the school shortly before 1 p.m.
Students have told WXYZ they heard an ALICE warning over the intercom as the shooting was happening.
"We kept hearing ALICE LOCKDOWN, ALICE LOCKDOWN ... I was just scared. I was praying for my safety, my friends' safety, everyone's safety," said one student.
"I just kept thinking it's probably a suspicious person walking campus, they'll get them in a minute and it'll be over," said another student. "In various group chats, I start to get messages saying, 'This person got shot, that person got shot,' and immediately I was like OK this is real."
A mother, who was reunited with her child at Meijer, said, "I was scared, I have never been so scared in my life, and when I came to Meijer, I ran to him and he picked me up and gave me the biggest hug of my life."
School officials say all of the schools in the district, including OELC, will be closed for the rest of the week. A 24/7 Resource and Crisis Helpline/Text/Chat is available for anyone who would like to speak with someone about today's events. That number is 1-800-231-1127.
"As we face the unimaginable, we are grateful for the swift action of our first responders," a statement from Oxford Community Schools read.

Q: i need the code for making the fancy box displaceable Here is the story:
on my web www.galeriapunto.com I am using a fancy box on the home page to show the latest news upfront.
I need for users to be able to move this window where they feel most comfortable, but I can't seem to find how to do this. Can you guys let me know whether this is possible and if yes what code should I use?
Thanks in advance

A: You need the easydrag jQuery plugin
The link with the example provided by @myHeadHurts (thanks), I wrote it back in 2009 for fancybox v1.2.x using this script:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
    // add drag and drop functionality to fancybox
    $("#fancy_outer").easydrag();
});
</script>

It worked fine until v1.3.1, but tweaking the script like:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
    // add drag and drop functionality to fancybox
    $("#fancybox-outer").easydrag();
});
</script>

However, it works "buggy" with the script above with fancybox v1.3.4 (close button and nav arrows are misplaced) so I stopped using it (no time to fix the code or find a workaround).
I haven't tested it with v2.x but my guess is that it won't work out of the box. The easyDrag plugin hasn't been updated since 2008.

Fact: This week President Trump, during his first official foreign trip, made a speech in Saudi Arabia to 54 Islamic leaders under one roof. Fact: This definitive policy speech, to leaders of countries in Africa and the Mid East, was unprecedented in audience and subjects of interest to the US and the world. Fact: This speech was not carried (aired) by the US MSM (Main Stream Media) that included CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN. Fact: During the time of this speech, the MSM largely aired commentary on ongoing speculation, without any evidence so far, of a Russian connection that may have somehow impacted, but did not influence, the results of the recent Presidential election, and may provide grounds, also without any evidence so far, for impeaching the President.
It is difficult for a rational person in any free country to find fairness or cause for trust in those parts of its media that selectively exclude an hour of major news that is of extreme importance, by any standard, to the citizens of their own 'free' country. By definition, selective major news cannot also be comprehensive news coverage. This MOT Poll Ballot weighs the theft by the US MSM of major news from millions of US Citizens at this date.

AIM: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of the lymph node ratio (LNR) in ypN-positive rectal cancer patients who received preoperative chemoradiation (preop-CRT). METHODS: A total of 75 patients diagnosed as node-positive after undergoing preop-CRT followed by curative resection were enrolled. Patients were categorized into two groups based on their median LNR, 0.143. RESULTS: The median metastatic and retrieved lymph node numbers were 2.0 (range: 1-79) and 18.0 (range: 5-80). Abdominoperineal resection, circumferential resection margin involvement and higher LNR were proven to be independent adverse prognostic factors affecting survival in the multivariate analysis including LNR as a covariate. Of the 47 patients with ypN1, 35 (74.5%) showed a lower LNR (N1G1) and 12 (25.5%) showed a higher LNR (N1G2). The N1G1 group showed better overall survival than the N1G2 group (P = 0.018). There was no difference between the survival rates of the N1G2 group and the ypN2 group (P = 0.987). CONCLUSIONS: LNR is an independent prognostic factor after preop-CRT for rectal cancer. LNR showed better prognosis stratification than the ypN stage. Therefore, LNR should be considered as an additional prognostic factor in node-positive rectal cancer after preop-CRT.

GE Capital halts lending for gun shop purchases
by Melanie Hicken @melhicken April 24, 2013: 5:23 PM ET
GE Capital has halted its lending program for purchases from gun shops.
Months after the shooting that killed 26 at a Connecticut elementary school, General Electric (GE) has halted its lending program for purchases from gun shops, the company said Wednesday.
GE Capital, which provides consumer financing services, had previously provided lending services to gun shops to help consumers finance firearm purchases. Earlier this year, the company sent letters to shops notifying them that the program would be terminated for future purchases.
The move was the result of "a more rigorous audit process... in light of industry changes, new legislation and tragic events that have caused widespread reexamination of policies on firearms," GE Capital spokesman Russell Wilkerson said in an e-mail.
GE Capital had in 2008 stopped providing financing services to new merchants whose primary business was selling firearms. The move to nix the remaining relationships will affect less than 75 retailers and is an "immaterial" part of the company's sales volume, Wilkerson said.

It will not affect financing for guns bought at major retailers like Wal-Mart (WMT) and Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), which sell guns along with a range of other items.
The decision comes months after the deadly shooting in Newton, Conn., which is not far from GE's headquarters in Fairfield, Conn. In the wake of the shooting, gun and ammunition sales have soared as lawmakers have considered stricter gun control measures.
A Wells Fargo (WFC)spokeswoman said that the firm decided to stop its gun shop financing program nearly 10 years ago. Citigroup (C) said that they do not provide retail financing at gun shops. Bank of America (BAC) did not return requests for comment.

Are there any cake icing classes in the surround area of Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Petaling Jaya?
As a matter of fact, yes there are.
But firstly, why icing decoration is so important for a cake?
We all remember the simple birthday cake with ribbons of icing around the edges and a flower or two and the writing Happy Birthday on the top.
Cake decorating has risen to a much higher level today.
Shows such as Ace of Cakes or Cake Boss have brought the new age cake decorating in to our living room every week.
We watch them use fondant to create a smooth surface as their canvas to prepare for the artistically application of edible decorations.
The piping of the frosting on the sides in a ribbon design or pipe designs on the side making lace or netting designs.
The use of airbrush colouring achieves realistic looking features.
They created objects of art using cake icings and coloured sugar.
It has taken them years of practice to archive the levels of cake decorating they now produce.
Check out the YouTube video below on the basic techniques for decorating a cake with icing.
As in all things one must start with basics.
Basic methods of making icing and the proper use of a decorating bag are usually in the first lesson.
You will learn to use different tips to make stars, flowers, borders and lettering.
Techniques such as the use of fondant and gum paste to create decorations and flowers will follow.
Soon you will be able to make realistic looking flowers and leaves.
With a little time you will master the decorating bag and using a steady hand and correct pressure produce cakes that are professional looking.
When you're done with the basics, you will be ready to learn advance techniques such as, feathered frosting, lattice and beautiful filigree icing borders.
There are schools and programs that offer classes in each technique, so you can take the classes in the techniques you wish to learn.
So depending on how far you want to go with your cake decorating skills there are classes to fit your needs.
For the serious decorators that wish to make this a life time career, culinary schools offer complete programs which include the baking of the cakes to the finest detailed decorations.
These classes are usually structured and must be taken from the beginning to ensure each student is on the same level.
If your goal is to make cakes for your family and friends on special occasions there are speciality shops that offer classes on weekends or once a month.
These classes are less structured and a allow students to work at different levels.
Check the bakeries in your area they may hold classes or can refer you to where classes are being held.
Check the yellow pages for local classes.
You will also find online classes and how to videos on the internet.
Choose the class or program that will fit your goals.

Grab that decorating bag and tips, put your mark on cakes that will be proudly placed in center stage of any table.
Imagine the surprise and astonishment your family and friends will have when you bring your professional graded decorated cake as a hostess gift.
You will no longer need to worry about the bakery getting your cake right or having it get damaged during delivery.
You will be able to bake and decorate the cakes with icing that will outshine your neighbourhood bakery.

Cañaveral de León
Home Huelva Cañaveral de León
Village situated in the north of the province, on the border with the province of Badajoz and included in the Sierra de Aracena y los Picos de Aroche Natural Park, one of the most important protected spaces of the Community, which occupies the whole of the north of the province with its meadows and small rises in the ground, covered predominantly in holm oak woods, cork oaks, chestnut trees and scrub through which numerous streams flow forming an extraordinarily beautiful and attractive landscape.
The Church of Santa Marina (Property of Cultural Interest), the Roman bridge over the Odiel, the large reservoir for irrigating the fields and the walls and pigsties of the area are worthy of mention. It has the oldest Bullring in Spain.
The area should start to be populated between the third and second millennium BC, during the Calcolithic period, as there is an interesting archaeological site in the Sierra del Jacaco.
Its name comes from its dependence on the Encomienda de León, and probably of the reeds that should exist at the foot of a large spring water that emerges at the center of the village and that has marked Cañaveral, beyond its name and also its shape and its history.
These lands were conquered from the Muslims in the mid-thirteenth century by the Order of Santiago, belonging to the Priory of San Marcos de León, who was in charge of repopulating the area with people from Castilla y León. From that date until the nineteenth century the village belonged to the province of Badajoz. In 1883, during the reign of Elizabeth II, it became part of the province of Huelva.
Felipe II granted it the title of village in the year 1588. From 1591 to 1598 it continued to receive Royal Privileges and Jurisdictions.

Migrant court hearings going on behind closed doors
by Brenda Camacho, KGNS,
https://www.kgns.tv/content/news/Migrant--560677431.html
LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - The operations at the migrant tent processing facility are fully underway; however, it's completely under wraps.
A member of an organization that helps female refugees says she has been denied multiple times and questions the Remain in Mexico policy.
Policy advisor for the Women's Refugee Commission, Ursula Ojeda, says some of these migrants face serious danger when returning to Mexico and they just want a chance to seek asylum in the United States.
