These principles are undertaken by all departments in our company, in the certainty that their implementation allows us to fulfill our commitments.


We do not accept incentives or bribes for doing what we do, but we do incentivise previous clients who refer delegates to us.
We will give each referrer to our 4 day weekend certification courses a £25 One4All or Love2Shop gift voucher, accepted in up to 200 stores in the UK – upon the referred delegate's completion of the course.
We will give each referrer to our 2 day GDPR weekend courses a £15 One4All or Love2Shop gift voucher, accepted in up to 200 stores in the UK – upon the referred delegate's completion of the course.


Another consideration is the type of funeral you would like. This is a highly personal decision and offers a chance to celebrate the unique qualities of the deceased. One of the first aspects to be decided is whether the funeral is to be a burial or cremation, and where and when you would like it to be held.
The Revel Funeral service can help with these arrangements and make all enquiries and confirm all arrangements.
Most people are buried 'laid to rest' in a churchyard or cemetery. When considering a burial some people usually already have an existing family grave, we will need to see the exclusive right of burial (known as the deeds) to assist in the arrangements. There will be a fee for reopening an existing grave. The cost of a new grave/plot will vary enormously across the country; you buy the exclusive right of burial.
Cremations is not usually as expensive as a burial, this enables you to keep the cremated remains, allowing you more chose after the funeral for a subsequent memorial event.
When choosing a cremation you can opt to have a church service followed by a short committal at the crematorium or you can have a service at the crematorium. You may wish not to have a service at all.
What Happens to the Cremated Remains; we will explain all options, enabling you to decide what you would like to do. Revel Funeral Service will collect and hold the cremated remains until you are ready to collect them in person.
Today most cemeteries and crematoria offer the facilities of small graves that can be purchased solely for cremated remains.
For more information on burials and cremation please contact your local crematoria or alternatively click on the links below.


Can't decide which board to bring? Why not take three boards (or two with heaps of extra room for clothes and other stuff)! 5mm foam padding, silver PE on the bottom outside and strong webbing around the edges make sure the Surf CORE_Triple Boardbag will guard and protect your beloved boards like you would a newborn baby!

The Save Suffolk Libraries Campaign Network have sent 9 Recommendations to Suffolk County Council's Cabinet ahead of their crunch meeting on libraries scheduled for 19th July. Copied to all County Councillors the full recommendations can be seen below.
Next Thursday at 2pm members of the campaign network will be present at the full County Council meeting for a debate resulting from the petitions with more than 34 000 signatures that have been handed in and will be asking the Council to support their recommendations to the Cabinet.
It has emerged recently that of the approximately 4000 consultation responses some 3099 wanted the Council to continue to run libraries. Later this week the consultation responses will be published in full.
It has also emerged that Suffolk already has one of the lowest levels of library funding in the country. Plans by the County Council to reduce the funding by a further 30% look worrying.

Patrick Dempsey's Alleged On-Set Behavior Could Affect His Future On Grey's Anatomy
By Jessica Rawden published 21 April 15
If you've been watching Grey's Anatomy during Season 11, you should know that there has been trouble in paradise for one of the doctors on the hospital-based show. A few month ago, Dr. Derek Shepherd took a position in Washington D.C., a job that kept him far away from his family and home. Now, on-set behavior may make that absence far more permanent.
Reports today indicate that Shonda Rhimes and Patrick Dempsey have not gotten along on the set of Grey's Anatomy for some time. The news comes from Page Six, which actually describes the actor playing McDreamy as a "diva," and submits that Dempsey's character moved to D.C. on the show after getting "suspended" by showrunner Rhimes. This behind-the-scenes drama should be taken with a grain of salt, but it wouldn't be the first time the showrunner has had trouble with an actor on the set of the long-running series.
All of this potential behind-the-scenes drama gets even more steamy and convoluted, thanks to a plotline teased during last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy. The preview features Derek coming up on a car accident on the road and jumping out of his own car to attempt to save the individuals inside. At one point, the car catches fire and a huge explosion occurs. Grey's Anatomy has never shied away from killing characters in big accidents, and it looks like that might be the direction that Grey's Anatomy is headed in. In fact, the preview states that next week's episode will be the one "America will never forget."
Dempsey himself has spoken out about how he will be leaving the series "very soon," despite the fact he signed a contract that would see him through next season. The actor has made several comments about wanting to leave the popular ABC series over the years. Before, those comments never amounted to much, but now that Derek has been mostly absent on the series since the show returned at midseason and Meredith has even purposefully skipped a trip to visit her partner, Dempsey's comments seem like they hold more weight.
We'll have to wait until this Thursday to find out whether or not Derek lives through the car accident ordeal or is killed off in the chilling episode. Regardless, it seems quite possible that Dempsey's days on Grey's Anatomy may be ending sooner rather than later. We'll let you know when more details about Patrick Dempsey's future career path emerge.

Marcus Burry's story
Makayla Burry did not expect to hear her newborn son cry right away, and the sound brought her and her husband to tears. In late January 2021, Marcus came into the world, extremely premature: 24 weeks and four days and weighing just 755 grams. After being delivered by emergency C-section and letting out his first cry, Marcus was quickly put under the care of Royal Columbian Hospital's Variety Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where he would spend more than four months, surviving a number of complications before heading home.
Brittany/Madylon's Story
Brittany Lewins from Mackenzie and Madylon Christley from Kelowna were once complete strangers living at opposite ends of the province until their paths crossed at the Royal Columbian Hospital's Variety Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Both had babies born at 27 weeks gestation, just three days apart. They forged a forever friendship as they supported each other during their NICU journeys.

Ashley and Hazel Durance
Ashley Durance had just survived a life-threatening complication of pregnancy. Her newborn girl Hazel, among the most premature and smallest ever to be born at Royal Columbian Hospital, was under constant watch in the intensive care unit for newborns. And now Ashley's father Rick Walsh was about to undergo open heart surgery. With Christmas of 2016 only a couple of days away, it was hard to believe all that had happened in the last several weeks.
Lillian Yamaguchi Jones's Story
She is able to joke now that it was a sneeze, and not a push, that led to her daughter's birth. But at the time, Nobue Yamaguchi Jones was stunned to have given birth at only 25 weeks pregnant. Equally shocking was just how small the newborn girl was: 380 grams, just over three quarters of a pound. Lillian Yamaguchi Jones had become the smallest baby Royal Columbian Hospital's neonatal intensive care team ever had to support.

Senft family's Story
It was a complete shock when Sarah Senft's water broke. The North Shore family physician was not yet 30 weeks pregnant. She and her husband Riley, an anesthesiologist, were in California at the time for a family wedding. While the couple tried to stay calm, it was the start of a whirlwind of events that led them to be airlifted unexpectedly to Royal Columbian Hospital, where Zoe Senft was born several hours later, 10 weeks premature.
Utility service provider delivers neonatal donation
A company that makes children among its top charitable priorities has made a donation to help Royal Columbian Hospital's smallest patients. Corix has made a $10,000 gift to Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation in support of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.


Water efficiency means saving water. The call for saving water has never been outdated. We do not want to experience a period of drought and dry spells. A gallon of water that we save is equal to a gallon of water that we add to the system.
Join seminars regarding water efficiency programs. Through these programs, we save water without so much expense. Savings on water bills may be continuing and you can show your children how to save water as well.
Emanating from the seminars, use all information learned commencing in your area. A water effectiveness auditor may come to identify and calculate your water consumption and possible water savings.
Reducing inside water use could bring estimated payback and therefore if we know that this water saving scheme is efficient, we can attract other users to conserve water, especially in priority areas.
Allow a water efficiency apparatus to be installed in your household or in your community. A qualified plumber does the installation while giving homeowners water efficiency measures.
As a law-abiding citizen you have to recognize the value of water efficiency, among others. Because of our increasing population, we should be more prudent in using water. If we can help preserve the supplies for the sake of our upcoming generations, we can say that we are able to help the government and our nation.
Not only seminars give information about water efficiency but also articles from good magazines. We can only help the environment, particularly our water systems, if we can espouse practices that are water-efficient. As an individual consumer, you should learn more about the water efficiency program and teach our children the right practices in using water.
Buy products that promote efficient use of water and learn about other products that do the same. Savings in water consumption can be done through simple practices and using water efficient products. We learn to identify these products that are available in the market and also learn their product performances.
The Environmental Protection Agency or EPA has a program for the efficient use of water. This agency is promoting a brand for the efficient use of water, which for them is a symbol that stands for the importance of water resources protection not only in the United States but also in other parts of the world. An observant citizen should learn from this agency and help educate others.
Being a program partner of EPA or any agency, you can learn a lot of technical information regarding the efficient use of water. A partnership agreement between the EPA and a program partner could give the partner public awareness in order to achieve local water preservation goals. Innovation from manufacturers could gain national recognition for high performance and efficiency of the product. This gives the program partner awareness of the brand of the water efficiency product, which can be disseminated to other community dwellers.

They say friends are the family you choose. So if you're thinking of hosting a Friendsgiving, chances are this is something you're excited to take on.
Want to keep things fun and easy? The more thought you put in up front, the smoother things will run—and the more you'll enjoy your own event.
Here's a 9-step guide to hosting an unforgettable Friendsgiving.
Great leaders begin with a clear vision. And as the fearless leader of your crew's Friendsgiving, you need one, too.
Start with the basics: Where are you hosting? What's the vibe? Is it casual or formal? Intimate or lively? A traditional, Thanksgiving-style meal or something unexpected like a costume party?
Pretend you're a guest and imagine attending from start to end. What will they need? What might they like? And what will make this an event they'll always remember?
Sure, the menu, theme and decor are important. But it's the people who really make a party.
There's nothing wrong with inviting just a few close friends. But if you're picturing something bigger, it can help to include a guest or two who will help carry the load of hosting. These are the friends who can talk to anyone and they're always the life of the party. If they're willing to man the bar or help out in other ways, even better.
Want everyone seated together but running short on space? Don't let the size of your dining table restrict you. Newlyweds Sean and Morgan packed 15 people into a small Brooklyn apartment for their first Friendsgiving.
When it comes to Friendsgiving, potluck is the name of the game. So don't feel weird about asking guests to contribute a dish.
If you're not specific, you could end up with a pastry-packed spread that's a little too light on the sides and mains.
Inviting guests with dietary restrictions? Consider foods that'll keep the whole crew happy. And if you want to forgo the turkey altogether, Anderson says that's OK too. Just inform your guests when you invite them.
It's time to look around your house and figure out what you'll need.
Consider cookware and serving dishes, drink glasses, the drinks themselves, ice, food, games, decorations and other supplies. Write it all down and take note of the things you could ask others to bring.
Worried about spending too much on supplies? It's possible to stick to a budget, especially if you're hosting a potluck. And if you're doing this right, you could even be earning cash back with a credit card like Savor®, which rewards you for things like dining out, entertainment and shopping at grocery stores.
Think you can skip the invitations? Don't. Even if your party's low-key.
Whether you're sending a text, an email or a paper invite, make sure to include all the information your guests need. That means a start time (and an end time if you have one). And let them know when to RSVP by, what to bring, what to wear and whether they can bring a plus-one.
Sure, you sent out invitations and your guests RSVP'd. But it's still worth checking in with them the week of your event.
Confirm they're coming and ask if they have any questions about the party or the item they signed up to bring.
Hosting a dinner party is a great excuse to give your home a deep clean. And you'll make your life a lot easier if you don't wait until the last minute.
Tackle big projects a week out, and touch things up the day before. If you'll need any last-minute supplies like paper towels, toilet paper, flowers or decorations, that's another job to take on a day or two before the big event. You don't want to be running errands or mopping floors once your turkey's in the oven.
As a host, your first priority is ensuring everyone else has a good time.
Spot an empty drink or plate? Offer to fill it. See someone left out of the group? Pull them in. And if you know you'll be stuck in the kitchen, enlist a friend to keep the conversation and drinks flowing. If something's not going the way you planned, just smile and roll with the punches. Whatever you do, don't make your guests feel uncomfortable.
Once you're at the dinner table, a short, warm and to-the-point toast—thanking your friends for coming—will help set the tone. You might even ask them to share what they're grateful for.
Worried your friends will think the tradition is corny? Just keep it lighthearted. "I think it's always fun to go around and see what people are thankful for," says Kevin, a recent college grad who's attended many a Friendsgiving.
All good things must come to an end, and it's better to close your party on a high note than go on too long.
Remember, your invitation should have included an end time if there is one. But as a gentle reminder that it's time to part, plan ahead and prep party favors like goodie bags with holiday-themed candies, Anderson suggests. "After you've cleared the dishes, you can put the favors by the door," she says.
If all else fails, just be direct. "It's OK to share with people, 'I've enjoyed you, it's been such a fun time, but I have to start cleaning up now,'" she says.
Ready to host Friendsgiving? If you want more advice, read these 10 rules for hosting your first Thanksgiving.

Q: A macro for long and short function names in C++ I am currently working on a general-purpose C++ library.
Well, I like using real-word function names and actually my project has a consistent function naming system. The functions (or methods) start with a verb if they do not return bool (in this case they start with is_)
The problem is this can be somewhat problematic for some programmers. Consider this function:
#include "something.h"
int calculate_geometric_mean(int* values)
{
//insert code here
}

I think such functions seem to be formal, so I name my functions so.
However I designed a simple Macro system for the user to switch function names.
#define SHORT_NAMES
#include "something.h"
#ifdef SHORT_NAMES
int calc_geometric_mean(int* values)
#else
int calculate_geometric_mean(int* values)
#endif
{
//some code
}

Is this wiser than using alias (since each alias of function will be allocated in the memory), or is this solution a pure evil?

A: FWIW, I don't think this dual-naming system adds a lot of value. It does, however, has the potential for causing a lot of confusion (to put it mildly).
In any case, if you are convinced is a great idea, I would implement it through inline functions rather than macros.
// something.h

int calculate_geometric_mean(int* values); // defined in the .cpp file

inline int calc_geo_mean(int* values) {
   return calculate_geometric_mean(values);
}

A: What symbols will be exported to the object file/library? What if you attempt to use the other version? Will you distribute two binaries with their own symbols?
So - no, bad idea.

A: Usually, the purpose behind a naming system is to aid the readability and understanding of the code.
Now, you effectively have 2 systems, each of which has a rationale. You're already forcing the reader/maintainer to keep two approaches to naming in mind, which dilutes the end goal of readability. Never mind the ugly #defines that end up polluting your code base.
I'd say choose one system and stick to it, because consistency is the key. I wouldn't say this solution is pure evil per se - I would say that this is not a solution to begin with.

"The Pulps!". The Spider, The Shadow, Green Hornet, Miss Fury, The Black Bat, Warlord of Mars, King'
What titles are in the same universe?
I'm becoming more intrigued by the Dynamite pulp characters I've never gotten into much, especially with the writers Dynamite has on them (Mark Waid especially!), so I was wondering: Which titles are (at least theoretically) in the same world? Ignoring Prophecy, what books have shared team-up events and the like?
Originally posted by ChastMastr View Post
It's complicated, and somewhat subjective. Consider that in the case of the pulp characters, some are public domain characters, while some are licensed from their respective owners. The Lone Ranger shared a miniseries with Zorro, but Dynamite licenses both those characters from different owners. Same with the Shadow and the Green Hornet; they shared a miniseries, but both are licensed from different owners. John Carter Warlord of Mars and Tarzan Lord of the Jungle co-star in the miniseries Lords of Mars; both are adaptations of the public domain works of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The largest shared crossovers are Masks (featuring The Shadow, The Spider, Green Hornet & Kato, The Black Bat, Miss Fury, The Green Lama, and The Black Terror along with a descendant of the original Zorro), and Codename: Action (featuring different versions of The Spider and The Green Hornet & Kato, along with Operator 5, The American Crusader and Black Venus). Adding to the confusion, The Spider in his own self-titled series is not the same version of the character that appears in Masks OR Codename: Action. The Black Bat appearing in Masks isn't the same one starring in his own self-titled DE series. There have been at least (by my count, anyway) 4 different versions of The Green Hornet and Kato published by Dynamite. And it appears at least questionable whether the Black Terror, Green Lama and American Crusader in the crossover stories can be the same versions of the characters who appeared in Project: Superpowers. Then there is Kings Watch, which teams up Mandrake the Magician (and Lothar) with Flash Gordon and The Phantom (all licensed from King Features/Hearst Entertainment). But -- you guessed it, these are not the same versions of Flash Gordon and The Phantom that had previously appeared in the DE series Flash Gordon: Zeitgeist and The Last Phantom.
It's probably safer to think about these different DE series like the old Marvel/DC inter-company crossovers. They just happen. If you try to make sense of the tangle of continuity, you'll sprain your brain. None of the crossover stories reference any of the events taking place in other series.
Well, to make it simpler, then, what about the current Dynamite pulp series? Is there a sense that some of those are currently meant to be in the same world? Which ones appear to be most compatible with each other? (I'm putting the Warlord of Mars and Tarzan stuff together and apart from the rest, myself.)
Better, perhaps, would be which ones are non-contradictory?
I'm going to assume you mean "current Dynamite pulp series" as in "modern time period", as opposed to "titles that are currently being published by Dynamite".
Of the pulp characters nominally taking place in "the present day", the pulp series DE publishes that fit that category are The Black Bat, Green Hornet Legacy (which is a continuation of the title formerly known as Kevin Smith's Green Hornet), Miss Fury (who time-travels back and forth between the 1940s and the present), and The Spider (and soon to be published: The Shadow NOW, and Doc Savage).
The 2013 that Miss Fury finds herself in has secret Nazi invaders infiltrating the present (and collaborators who aren't time travelers), so it's unlikely to be the 2013 inhabited by The Black Bat, the Green Hornet, or The Spider. The Spider lives in a 2013 where zeppelins hang in the skies, and men have a tendency to wear fedoras. While these things are not so much in evidence in later issues of The Spider, the early issues definitely seemed to be evoking the sense of an 'alternate present'. In Green Hornet Legacy, the Hornet is pretty much the only one wearing a fedora. The Black Bat doesn't wear a fedora, and neither does anyone else. No zeppelins to be seen anywhere in The Black Bat or Green Hornet Legacy. The Shadow NOW is said to be in continuity with Howard Chaykin's 1980s DC miniseries The Shadow: Blood and Judgment (who was in turn said to be the original Shadow from the 1930s), but will take place in 2013. Likewise, what I've read of Dynamite's plans for the upcoming Doc Savage series involves an 8-issue series that will begin with the first issue taking place in 1933, and progress decade-by-decade until it gets to 2013. This makes both The Shadow and Doc Savage pretty much immortal (or functionally long-lived), unless there turns out to be time travel involved. Prior events of Richard (The Spider) Wentworth's life shown in early issues of The Spider tend to eliminate the possibility that he can be the same Spider who operated in the 1930s (as seen in Masks). And the Green Hornet of the 1930s and 1940s (who has appeared in Green Hornet Year One, Masks, and Mark Waid's Green Hornet) doesn't seem to be part of the background history of Kevin Smith's/Green Hornet Legacy. Since the Black Bat is a public domain character, he could possibly show up in one of the other "modern day" titles, but it still might require the approval of the respective owners of Green Hornet, The Spider, or The Shadow and Doc Savage (both owned by Conde Nast/Advance Magazines). I would be shocked if there wasn't a Shadow/Doc Savage crossover coming somewhere down the road -- the only question would be, will it take place in the 1930s, or the present, or maybe both? The Black Bat and Miss Fury would be the easiest characters to share continuity, since they're both public domain and Dynamite wouldn't require the approval of any license owners. The Project: Superpowers characters are also based on public domain characters, but now we are beginning to stray slightly outside the genre of 'pulp', to pure superheroes.
I'm sure there are fans imaginative and obsessive enough to while away their time inventing credible explanations for many of the seeming inconsistencies noted above, but...
What it comes down to is that this will never be a universe in the typical Marvel or DC sense, because Marvel and DC own all their universe characters outright, whereas Dynamite's pulp heroes titles are an aggregate of different characters licensed from different owners, and some public domain characters. This means Dynamite is only borrowing these characters for a little while, and thus doesn't have total control over them.
Actually, I did mean the latter. But this info is very helpful regardless.
Since neither Marvel nor DC are doing anything set during the Golden Age right now (and, even apart from the New 52, I'm trusting DC less and less to be able to manage it well until there is regime change there; one by one the good writers are being driven away...), and some writers I really like and/or respect are doing some of the Dynamite stuff, I've been thinking it might be good on all sorts of levels, and since some of them cross over with each other, that perhaps it might help scratch that Golden Age itch. (If Waid's stuff is compatible with Roberson's, etc. then it would be cool to put them in the same "world" if possible.)

The Shadow NOW is said to be in continuity with Howard Chaykin's 1980s DC miniseries The Shadow: Blood and Judgment (who was in turn said to be the original Shadow from the 1930s), but will take place in 2013.
Have they actually said this? I thought the only mini taking place in Chaykin's continuity was Chaykin's new mini-series set in the 50s.
For me it's this:
Pulp: Shadow, Green Hornet, Doc Savage, Lone Ranger, Zorro, Sherlock Holmes
ERB: John Carter, Tarzan, Dejah Thoris
Dynamite Dark: Vampirella, Pantha, Evil Ernie, (maybe Ash and Red Sonja)
Okay, now I feel like I must rise to the challenge and try to sort it out myself. I'll report what I come up with here...
Leaving out Project Superpowers, I've come up with twenty-five (!) possible continuities so far, some of which may mesh with each other and others not. More as this develops!
For my purposes, I'm separating out the series which are updated, re-imagined, or just set in the present day with descendants of the original characters. (Black Bat, Kevin Smith's Green Hornet and its related series connected to the Black Hornet storyline and the like.) That eliminates nine possible continuities (for instance, all of the Kevin-Smith-related Green Hornet books count as one continuity), leaving sixteen set in their original era.
Hmmm. Looking over what is left, I am inclined to just assume they can be read (more or less) as all taking place in the same "world." Let me sort out the chronology from the solicits, reviews and such, and I will post my findings...

Yes, there was a long piece in Comic Shop News #1365 (the cover story, actually) a few weeks back in which Davis Liss acknowledged Blood and Judgment as having happened. "Our version takes the 1980s Howard Chaykin story as canon". Whether Blood and Judgment will be directly referenced in The Shadow NOW, I tend to doubt, in order to keep things simple for new readers. But I don't think it will specifically contradict anything from that story, either. Don't forget there's almost as much time between Blood and Judgment (1986) and The Shadow NOW as there is between The Shadow's last appearance in 1949 and Blood and Judgment. What's a decade, more or less?
On the other hand, none of the interviews with Chaykin on the upcoming miniseries quoted him as saying anything regarding the new miniseries' relationship to Blood and Judgment. Of course all the articles referred to him having done it, but Chaykin himself didn't comment on any relationship to The Shadow: Midnight in Moscow. Unless I missed one somewhere, all the news stories seemed quite brief and didn't spell out much about what the story is about, other than that it "tells the secret story of The Shadow's disappearance in 1949". Since The Shadow's adventures stopped being chronicled by Maxwell Grant in 1949, whatever happened next is wide open. Again, it may just be done in such a way so as not to contradict anything from Blood and Judgment, without directly referencing it.
Even though Dynamite reprinted Blood and Judgment pretty recently, I can see where they might not want to assume that every reader is familiar with the story.

None of the Dynamite pulp books actually share the same universe, but that doesn't mean that you can't kind of piece together things on your own and view the books as shared. We've talked about this on here before and many have stepped forward and said that they do this. I for one do, to a certain extent of course, but it's fun to view these titles as shared and done in different timelines with some taking place currently and others taking place way back in the day.
Done! Here is what I have come up with:
Blackbeard Legend of the Pyrate King (2009)	-----	1713	-----	(covers lifetime)
Zorro (2008 Dynamite Entertainment)	-----	1790	-----	Starts in 1790; is an adaptation of Isabel Allende Zorro novel for first array of issues
Zorro Rides Again (2011 Dynamite)	-----	1806	-----	battles Quintero; date from from http://pjfarmer.com/woldnewton/Zorro.htm
Lady Rawhide (2013 Dynamite)	-----	1815	-----	"A few years after" previous Topps series, which was set in 1812 according to the Wold Newton link
Good, The Bad and The Ugly (2009)	-----	1862	-----	(roughly; based on year of original film)
Man with No Name (2008 Dynamite)	-----	1862	-----	(roughly; based on year of original film)
Lone Ranger (2006 Dynamite)	-----	1869
Lone Ranger (2012 Dynamite) Volume 2	-----	1870
Lone Ranger and Tonto (2007 Dynamite Entertainment)	-----	1870	-----	no specific date; 1870-ish?
Lone Ranger Battlestar Galactica FCBD (2007)	-----	1870	no specific date; 1870-ish?
Lone Ranger Snake of Iron (2012 Dynamite)	-----	1870
Lone Ranger The Death of Zorro (2011 Dynamite)	-----	1870
Sherlock Holmes Year One TPB (2011 Dynamite)	-----	1881
Sherlock Holmes The Liverpool Demon (2012 Dynamite)	-----	1888.08	-----	August
Sherlock Holmes (2009 Dynamite Entertainment)	-----	1895.1	-----	October
Shadow Year One (2013 Dynamite)	-----	1929
Doc Savage (2013)	-----	1933	-----	(continues to present day)
Merciless Rise of Ming (2012 Dynamite)	-----	1933	-----	Prequel to Zeitgeist
Flash Gordon Zeitgeist (2011)	-----	1934.01	-----	January
Shadow (2012 Dynamite) Annual	-----	1935	-----	No specific date, so 1935 is a guess
Shadow Special (2012 Dynamite)	-----	1935	-----	1930s, no specific date, so 1935 is a guess
Green Hornet Year One (2010 Dynamite)	-----	1938	-----	(jumps around in flashbacks a lot though)
Green Hornet Year One (2010 Dynamite) Special	-----	1938	-----	tentative
Masks (2012 Dynamite)	-----	1938
Shadow Green Hornet Dark Nights (2013 Dynamite)	-----	1939
Shadow (2012 Dynamite)	-----	1940.0927	-----	After Japan allied with Germany, hence after September 27, 1940
Green Hornet (2013 Dynamite Entertainment) 2nd Series	-----	1941.1016	-----	(.1016 = Oct 16)
Kato Origins (2010 Dynamite) -----	1942.02	-----	early 1942
Shadow (2012 Dynamite) Annual 2013	-----	1947
Not having read them yet, I've had to Google solicitations, preview pages, and the Wold Newton chronology on the Philip Jose Farmer page. But this seems like they would all fit together relatively comfortably and provide maximum reading pleasure, at least for myself.
I'm down for a crossover series featuring a grizzled older Man With No Name, a mature Lone Ranger, and a youngish Sherlock Holmes. Somehow I missed the Lone Ranger Battlestar Galactica crossover.
Now that you mention it, Lone Ranger The Death of Zorro seems like quite a stretch of the imagination. Zorro would have to be about 90 years old by 1870. I've always been a little vague on the exact time period Zorro was taking place, and had assumed more like circa 1820 (which would work a lot better for The Death of Zorro). My understanding is that even Johnston McCulley was inconsistent about the dates.

Now fast does a bullet travel per hour?
That said, bullets of different calibers travel very different speeds. On top of that, different bullets of the SAME caliber can travel different speeds because of different weights, powder charge, pressure, etc.
The slowest and fastest bullets I can think of off the top of my head are as follows.
Some custom loaded .243 rifle rounds (a small bullet used mostly for small game) can go a little bit more than 4000fps and have been recorded as fast as 5278 fps.
It depends on the bullet. A 165 grain .40 s&w shot from a gun with a 4" barrel will travel about 1,200 feet per second (820 mph). This round is the most common handgun round used by law enforcement in the U.S.
The speed of most bullets varties somewhere from around 800 fps to over 3,000 fps. Determine what your velocity is in fps and multiply that mumber by 3600. Divide the number that you get by 5280 and you will have the miles per hour that the bullet is traveling.
Shotgun pellets vary very little in velocity. The slowest speed at 335 m/s, while the fastest travel at close to 427 m/s.
How fast does a glock 9mm bullet travel in miles per hour or meters per second?
How fast is a bullet traveling at 600 feet per second how fast is that in miles per hour?
If a bullet from my SKS travels at 2400 feet fer second, How many miles per Hour is the bullet moving...?
Could you fire a gun backwards from a speeding car traveling as fast as the speeding bullet, and have it stop?
How fast does a typical bullet travel when exiting a rifle?


We're happy to share with you some of our results, we also want to thank our clients for after and before pictures .
I bought this product based on reviews and let me tell you I wasn't dissatisfied. The kit comes with easy to understand instructions that walk you through all the steps. I like that it came with a custom fit try. My first attempt with the gel was kind of messy, but when it was time for the second treatment I knew what to expect. I like this whitening kit better than others I have used. I also like that the gel has kind of a minty flavor, as opposed to other whiteners that taste like paste.

L'accordo di sesta eccedente o aumentata è un accordo che deve il suo nome all'intervallo di sesta eccedente che separa il basso da uno dei suoni componenti l'accordo.

Vari tipi di sesta eccedente

La sesta eccedente tedesca è un accordo di settima di dominante la cui settima minore viene scritta enarmonicamente come sesta eccedente, utilizzato solitamente come dominante secondaria che risolve sul V grado (es. lab do mib fa#)
La sesta eccedente svizzera è essenzialmente uguale alla sesta tedesca con l'unica differenza che la 7ª dell'accordo è enarmonicamente differente (es. re# al posto di mib): quindi deriva dall'accordo di settima diminuita costruito sul II grado innalzato, con l'abbassamento della 5ª
La sesta eccedente italiana è una triade costruita sul IV grado alterato con la 3ª abbassata, solitamente utilizzata come dominante secondaria che risolve sul V grado. (es. fa# lab do)
La sesta eccedente francese è un accordo di settima di dominante con la 5ª abbassata, utilizzato solitamente come dominante secondaria che risolve sul V grado (es. re fa# lab do)

Modi d'applicazione

Non trovandosi mai allo stato fondamentale, ma allo stato di I o II rivolto (ad eccezione della sesta eccedente italiana, che può essere usata anche allo stato fondamentale), essa poggia sempre sul VI grado minore o abbassato che scende o al I o al V grado (in quarta e sesta) della scala a seconda dei casi.
Ecco alcune delucidazioni sull'uso delle seste:

La sesta eccedente italiana si usa solitamente nel modo minore, ma può essere usata anche nel modo maggiore (attraverso la scala maggiore armonica) e si trova allo stato di I rivolto. Essendo un primo rivolto di triade, esso si avvarrà della numerica 3-6 partendo dal basso apparente. La fondamentale sarà nuovamente il VI grado minore, poi la terza maggiore e la sesta eccedente. Esempio: nella tonalità di Do minore, La b è il fondamentale;  do la 3º M, fa #  la 6º ecc.
In alcuni viene usato anche allo stato fondamentale.

La sesta eccedente francese si usa solo sul modo minore, e si trova allo stato di II rivolto. Essendo un secondo rivolto di settima, esso si avvarrà della numerica 3-4-6, pertanto al basso la fondamentale sarà il VI grado minore e i rispettivi intervalli di terza maggiore, quarta eccedente e sesta eccedente in relazione al basso. Esempio: nella tonalità di Do minore, la b è il VI grado minore che poniamo al basso; la 3º M sarà do, la 4º ecc. sarà re, la 6 ecc. sarà fa #.  Può risolvere sia sulla dominante sia sulla tonica in quarta e sesta.

La sesta eccedente tedesca si usa in ambo i modi e si trova allo stato di I rivolto. Essendo un primo rivolto di settima, esso si avvarrà della numerica 3-5-6, pertanto al basso la fondamentale sarà il VI grado minore e i rispettivi intervalli di terza maggiore, quinta giusta e sesta eccedente in relazione al basso. Esempio: nella tonalità di Do minore, la b è il VI grado minore che poniamo al basso; la 3º M sarà do, la 5º G mi b, la 6 ecc. fa #. Può risolvere sulla dominante, ma in questo caso si avranno le cosiddette "quinte di Mozart" (lab-mib →  sol-re, accettate tranne nel caso in cui si trovino fra basso e soprano). Se invece risolve sulla tonica in quarta e sesta è definita sesta eccedente inglese, tale sistema prima di quarta e sesta e poi terza e quinta va a formare la cadenza composta consonante.

La sesta eccedente svizzera si usa solo nel modo maggiore, e si trova allo stato di II rivolto. Essendo un rivolto di settima, esso si avvarrà della numerica 3-4-6, pertanto al basso la fondamentale sarà il VI grado minore e i rispettivi intervalli di terza maggiore, quarta più che eccedente, sesta eccedente in relazione al basso. La risoluzione deve avvenire sul I grado armonico in quarta e sesta. Esempio: in do maggiore, la b è la sesta abbassata che poniamo al basso; do è la terza maggiore, re # è la quarta più che eccedente, fa# è la sesta eccedente.

A machete-wielding highway robber failed to make his getaway after running out of gas on Tuesday.
Police said the suspect was waiting at a secluded road in Battambang's Samlot district when a 23-year-old man rode his motorbike down the road.
The suspect jumped out, barring the way and hacking at the driver's shoulder with the knife. The suspect made off on the victim's bike, but ran out of gas shortly thereafter.


The revamped look emphasizes the product over the company's tagline, and features a big picture of the food on the cover. It also features nutritional information and images of fresh produce: potatoes, lettuce, wheat, eggs, and also of farm machinery. The packages come in red, purple, yellow and blue and the lettering uses a wide range of fonts.
Eighty two percent of the chain's food packaging in its nine largest markets is now made from sustainable materials.
The company has been involved in sustainable efforts for some time now: the company's CSR report explains that, currently, over 91% of the fish used in the company's products comes from sustainable fisheries. It has a rainforest commitment policy that bans beef sourced from rainforest areas. Almost all of its slaughterhouses were audited, and approved for animal welfare issues in 2007.
The company has "green restaurants" – incorporating energy efficient features like permeable pavements in the parking lots to reduce storm water flowing to sewers and roofs that collect rain — in the U.S. and Sweden. It is in the process of constructing more in Brazil, Canada, Costa Rica and France.
And yet, when one thinks McDonald's, greasy burgers, obesity, and possibly cardiac arrests are still the first thoughts that come to mind for many.
The chain plans to change this using "sophisticated graphics, photography and storytelling" to positively impact customer perceptions.
As of November, McDonald's will extend its packaging overhaul to a whopping 118 countries – from Iceland to India.

First sub-£100 Blu-ray player from Richer Sounds
By What Hi-Fi Admin 2009-10-15T12:00:00Z News
You can now buy a sub-£100 Blu-ray player from Richer Sounds, the LG BD350
Now Richer Sounds is offering its VIP customers a big-brand Blu-ray player for £99.95, in the shape of the LG BD350.
It's only available to buy in store, and our guess is stocks will be limited. But if you do bag one, it has 1080p video upscaling from standard-definition sources, optical and coaxial digital outputs, remote control and an HDMI connection.
Playback of DiVX discs comes as standard, and the Blu-ray disc load time is claimed to be a relatively snappy 18 seconds.
Richer says it has some Region 2 (UK) only models of the LG BD350 in stock, but a more plentiful supply of multi-region units, which cost £119.95. The latter will play DVDs from any region in the world (but only UK Blu-ray discs).

Last night my friend called me and asked me if there is an easy way to help him transfer his favorite songs and some videos from his iPhone 6 to iPad Air, because each time when he's out, he would like to listen to music or watch movies until his cellphone is power off, which means that his friends and family could hardly find him no matter what happens. And that's why he wants to copy and watch movies on iPad - to prevent his smartphone from easily running out of battery. Therefore, I recommended iOS Transfer and Phone Transfer to him, and he turned out to like them!
With the help of iOS Transfer, not only can you share music between iOS devices freely without iTunes restrictions, you can also manage and transfer photos, videos, messages, contacts and other documents between iPhone, iPad and iPod just in one click, which saves you a lot of time and energy. Couldn't wait to try it? Just download this terrific software and follow the steps below.
Actually you can copy files among iPhone, iPad and iPod. The following tutorial will take iPhone and iPad as an example, but you can use any two of your iDevices.
Make sure you have downloaded and installed iOS Transfer, and launch it. Then you need to connect iPhone and iPad to computer via USB cable. After both of your devices are detected, you will see the primary window below.
Click the "To iDevice" button in the bottom of the primary windos. After scanning files on your iPhone, click the "Start" icon and the data will be copied to your iPad.
In a nutshell, by using iOS Transfer, you can manage and transfer all the data you desire among iPhone, iPad and iPod with the minimum effort. And it is worthwhile, I assure you, to download and use this excellent product.
Phone Transfer is also an excellent tool for files transfer between iPhone and iPad. Through the program, files like contacts, messages, music, videos etc. can be copied with few clicks. Now, let me show you how to sync data from iPhone to iPad with it.
Phone Transfer supports not only iPhone to iPad transfer, but also transmission including Phone to Android, iPhone to Nokia and so on.
Install the program to your computer. Run it to enter the primary window. Click the "Phone to phone transfer".
Connect the both iDevices to your computer. After being detected by the software automatically, they will be displayed in the "Source" and "Destination" respectively. If your devices cannot be detected, confirm the installation of iTunes please. Check items you want to copy in the middle column. Click the "Start Copy" icon and it is done! To avoid repetition, you may check the "Clear data before copy" in the bottom of the "Destination" box.
Note: Call logs and apps are not allowed to be transferred between the two devices.
Isn't it convenient to have files transferred by using Phone Transfer? Not only phone to phone transfer, it can also backup phone data and restore from backups.
In fact, iOS Transfer and Phone Transfer are not only files transfer tools, but also great phone managers. Both of them are multifunctional, so why don't you download and experience them?

How James Harden's On-Court Creativity Inspired the Design of the Adidas Harden Vol. 3 Shoe
by Matthew Jussim
Since coming into the NBA in 2009, Houston Rockets guard James Harden has developed into one of the best pure offensive players that the league has seen. Harden has shown the ability to create space and separation from defenders, using a herky-jerky style that looks unconventional, but has been wildly effective for him. That style of play is one reason why Harden won the 2017-18 NBA MVP award.
Harden's unique method of play has inspired a number of copycats around the league who have tried to emulate Harden's success at getting open shots, using his physical ability to start and stop rapidly, and creating contact that gets him to the foul line. All of that was on Harden's mind when the time came to start designing the latest version of his signature shoe, the Adidas Harden Vol. 3. What sets Harden apart from other players in the league is his ability to "Slow Down Fast," and that was one of the main inspirations behind the signature shoe.
"To design this shoe, I had in mind the importance of my first step, how I stop-and-go, and my ability to change directions," Harden told Men's Journal. "Those aspects are important to my game, and we wanted to convert all that into the shoe to allow me the ability to move how I need to. Every year I try to figure out a way to create an advantage on the court and create space, and that's the inspiration for the design of the Vol. 3."
Harden's Impact on Designing the Harden Vol. 3
Harden was very involved in the design process of the shoe, taking part in conference calls, picking out different colorways, and making visits to Adidas headquarters in Portland, Ore. to help bring it to life.
"There's an authenticity to it, because I don't know how many guys out there are involved in every process of their shoe line," Harden says. "Some guys will just have it presented to them and then slap their name on it, but for me, I wanted to put work into this and help design it. Everything from the materials used, to the way it looks, to the colorways, trading business emails, doing conference calls, to meeting with the Adidas team. It feels good to see the finished product after all that."
Play Like NBA MVP James Harden With the New Adidas Harden Vol. 3 Signature Shoe
Harden's training played a part in how he wanted to design the shoe as well. Everything Harden does on the court starts with his training in the offseason. While Harden works with Rockets trainers, he also works alongside trainer Greg Howell, who Harden has known since he was a kid.
"I think with each shoe, they've gotten more and more comfortable," Howell says. "I loved the Vol. 2's, and then when I got my hands on the Vol. 3's, I liked those even better. You can feel you're locked in, and they're comfortable, but not restrictive. It keeps your Achilles stable and strong with that high back heel, it helps you start and stop on a dime, which is what James needs to play at his best. James is a creator, and this Vol. 3 helps him work on those moves and I think all of that has contributed to the evolution of the shoe and the evolution of James's game."
The way Harden trains directly impacts how he plays on the court, and the training is where Harden will test out things and try new things to use in his game.
"Training and doing work is a lifestyle for James," Howell says. "He really is a creator in every space he's in. His mind thinks differently and I think him being left-handed helps his creativeness on the court, and his unorthodox way of doing everything. It's his own creative way, from the step-backs to the small twitches and angles he uses in all his moves. He will just try something out when we're working, like a different type of step back angle and it'll slowly progress and he'll work on it until it's ready. He's being creative and intuitive using the NBA gather rules to his advantage, and yeah some guys hate it, but now you see other guys doing it. He's setting the trend for guys out there—he's a creator in his mind and he just loves to work on things and it's a skill just like being the best shooter, best dribbler, or whatever. That's what he brings to the table."
Harden's Love for the City of Houston
The look of the shoe was heavily inspired by Harden's game on the court, but there also was a lot of inspiration from the Houston itself. The new colorways and the shoe itself were inspired by the way Harden creates space on the floor, and Houston's ties to outer space as the home of NASA.
"It was very important to have Houston in there," Harden says. "The city gave me this opportunity, and I think if it wasn't for Houston and the Rockets I wouldn't be where I am. The fact that NASA and the space industry has a presence in Houston, I wanted to incorporate that as well. The NASA idea, I can use that metaphor to represent how I create my space on the court, it all plays a part in who I am and what I bring to the table. We wanted to bring those shoes to life, and make sure we pay homage to Houston."
The design of the shoe—and Harden's game on the court—all plays into the mindset that Harden isn't afraid to take risks. Whether it's in fashion, playing basketball, or other aspects of his life, Harden feels like he's always willing to try something new to see if it works, without worrying about the final results.
"As a person, I'm just a risk-taker," Harden says. "I'll try new things on the court, work in different moves, create different moves, and my one of my mottos is, 'you never know until you try it.' I'm comfortable doing it and I live with the results afterwards whether they're good or bad. That's just how my brain works, and you know sometimes my moves might be a little weird, or awkward-looking, but hey, it's been working."
Harden's Houston Hangouts
To help debut the Vol. 3, Harden shared some of his favorite places in the Houston area. Here's the rundown of Harden's favorite hotel, restaurants, and fun activities in the city.
The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston: Harden's recommended hotel in Houston is the only AAA Five Diamond destination in the city. The hotel has numerous dining selections, as well as a a two-story Rolls Royce showroom, views of downtown Houston, and beautiful rooms. (See more here.)
Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse: This is Harden's go-to restaurant in Houston. You can have steak, great wine, seafood, and much more. Harden's favorite dishes are: the Pan Roasted Chicken, Atlantic Salmon, and King Crab with Brussels Sprouts. (Check out the menu here.)
The Breakfast Klub: There's always a line out of this breakfast spot in Houston, and for good reason—the food is excellent. From chicken and waffles to other local specials, there's something for everyone here. (Check out the menu here.)
Bowlmor Houston: When Harden wants to wind down, one place he loves to come is Bowlmor. The location has 39 lanes, video walls playing movies and sports, as well as a sports bar and arcade. Harden isn't the only area athlete to play at Bowlmor—Houston Texans players, Astros players, as well as various Houston musicians and artists also love to stop by and play a few games. (Check out more here.)
Here's a few more looks at the shoe and some of the colorways:

Buying Flowers – Grocery Store Pickup or Florist Delivery?
December 9, 2010 By Beth | Heads up: Buying via our links may result in us getting a commission. Here's why.
Ask A Woman: Are expensive florist bouquet deliveries worth it?
I need a woman's perspective on this one. My wife and I have been married for going on five years. No kids (yet) we both have solid careers going on, and we love to be around each other. We're both in sales so although we're moving up the ladder, money is tight thanks to the economy.
My question is: What means more to a woman? Spending $15 on some nice grocery store flowers and bringing them home to her, or, dropping $50 on almost identical flowers from a flower shop and having them delivered to her work?
Here's the extra spin: she's been leading the charge when it comes to saving money since finances are tight. So I don't know if she'd be real cool with me blowing half a grocery bill on things that'll be dead in a week.
Another question in the spirit of giving! Nice to see so many generous readers here at Ask a Woman.
flowers for your spouse or long-term partner.
1 + 3 = delivery from the florist. It's a romantic gesture; all her coworkers will see it; her affection for you will grow every time she looks over at the vase.
2 + 4 = grocery store flowers. Forgive me, but by the time you get married, routinely spending $50-$100 on a bouquet and delivery seems a bit foolish. I am NOT saying that romance dies with the marriage vow, only that with marriage comes a certain amount of practicality. Plus, there is something lovely about coming back to the home you share, after a long day at work, to find your handsome man clutching a bouquet of flowers–it's intimate and touching in a way that a public delivery is not.
1 + 4 = could go either way. The occasion could warrant more expensive flowers, but it's not a given.
2 + 3 = could go either way. I fully endorse being yourself when you're getting to know someone, but there is a certain amount of impressing that goes on when you are wooing someone. She shaves her legs on a more frequent basis than later on; you remember to put on cologne on a more frequent basis than later on, that sort of thing. So you might choose to have them delivered, but it certainly wouldn't be a faux pas to bring them home to her.
3 + 4 = you evil, two-timin' snake . No advice for you!
Let me also say that grocery store flowers can be just as beautiful and last just as long as flower shop flowers. Sure, from time to time, you'll happen upon a crummy grocery store bouquet and within two days those things will be brown and wilting. But I bet you can find a store in your area whose reasonably-priced flowers you can trust.
OK as general rules, but it's gotta depend on her. As Marcus says, she may be the penny pincher in this. However, try it out and see what reaction you get. If she's horrified by the non special occasion delivery at the office, OK, you did it once and now you've learned something.
I am in favor of the grocery story flowers if they look nice (some are crap) or going to a farmers market. Yes it is nice to pay a florist for delivery, but for the same price you could buy her flowers at the store and get her dinner. But then again, I can be really tight with my money.
Personally, I've found that on average large department stores get flowers that are just as good or better than most small florists because of their buying power. Just ask the florist when they get their shipment in because sometimes it's just once a week. Also if you get to the store before the grocer's florist leaves they're pretty decent at making you flower sets and they love to do it. The only thing actual flower shops have advantage over groceries is that they usually have unique flower types and have some kind of delivery service like Beth pointed out.
I also have hardly bought pre-made bouquets for my girlfriends because my Grandmother thought me enough about arrangements that I was able to pick some pretty good groups by myself. Just put them together in a glass vase with a ribbon tied around it with a bow, brilliant. Oh and get a card, it's ridiculous how much girls like them.
I wasn't trying to rain on your parade Beth, I think the math set up is great and right on for when to use either, just thought I would give a little more detail on other parts of flower buying.
As a woman, I appreciate flowers of any sort, if they're "just because". I say grab a couple bunches from your local grocery store, arrange them together, and stick them in a vase that you have at home. She'll be delighted when she walks through the door and the flowers are already arranged and placed nicely. It's always a thoughtful gesture.
I would suggest picking up a (really nice)bouquet of flowers from a grocery florist and then add the personal touch of delivering them to her job yourself. Gives the co-workers a little bit more to talk about and enables you to stack brownie points for yourself.
I also agree with bryan about avoiding online flower purchases. I was cool with my ex-girlfriends co-worker who let me know that the rosed I ordered weren't the best, but that my ex was happy about the effort.
Pick them yourself to ensure quality.


Model railway enthusiasts from the area have had their best show yet for Sompting and District Model Railway Club's annual exhibition.
Hundreds of train lovers from every age group visited the two-day show at Sompting Village Hall at the weekend.
Matthew Ayling, co-organiser of the exhibition, said: "The show went really well. It was our best ever.
"We had about ten model railways with exhibitors travelling from both West and East Sussex to exhibit.
More than 200 people attended the exhibition, which showed off many creations by railway modellers, in a variety of different gauges.
Another feature was a diorama competition, where club members had to construct a scenic layout no larger than 2ft by 1ft.
There were six entries to the diorama competition, with Robert Ettridge being crowned the winner. In second place was Daniel Goodwin and Nigel Murphy was third.
There was also a demonstration room, where visitors were able to see trees being created and buildings painted, then constructed. This included opportunities to talk to and ask questions of the experts.
Next up on the club's calendar is the Come and See us Club Day, which will be held on Saturday, September 28, at Sompting Village Hall.
The model railway club welcomes new members from juniors, aged eight to 15, to experienced modellers.

The Institute for Responsible Technology is a world leader in educating policy makers and the public about genetically modified (GM) foods and crops. We investigate and report their risks and impact on health, environment, the economy, and agriculture, as well as the problems associated with current research, regulation, corporate practices, and reporting.
Founded in 2003 by international bestselling author and GMO expert Jeffrey Smith, IRT has worked in nearly 40 countries on 6 continents, and is credited with improving government policies and influencing consumer-buying habits.
IRT's work comes from a dedicated team of subject experts, consultants and staff who generously donate their time and experience. In addition, IRT employs media experts, social network campaigners, writers, graphic designers, communications specialists, fundraisers, outreach professionals and support staff, who operate both at our headquarters in Iowa, and from virtual offices in the US.
IRT's Campaign for Healthier Eating in America mobilizes citizens, organizations, businesses, healthcare professionals, and the media, to achieve the tipping point of consumer rejection of GM foods.
Our website has become one of the most respected resources for online videos, podcasts, blogs, and reports for accurate and up to date information on GMOs. Our Spilling the Beans newsletter is trusted source of updates, events and news to our subscribers. Check out the Campaign and find out what you can do to help reclaim a healthier non-GMO food supply.

Through corporate donations, sponsorships and employee-giving and volunteering, our goal is to make an impact in the communities in which we work and live. In addition to financial contributions, much of our support comes through sharing our business expertise, marketing and other in-kind resources to build capacity for community organizations.
