Undoing the Past – New FCC Rescinds Rulings on Noncommercial Ownership Reports, Political Broadcasting Sponsorship Disclosure and Shared Services Agreements
By David Oxenford on February 5, 2017
Posted in Multiple Ownership Rules, Noncommercial Broadcasting, Payola and Sponsorship Identification, Political Broadcasting, Television
With the change in administration at the FCC, there are opportunities for certain actions to be taken very quickly, without going through the full process of a rulemaking requiring public notice of the proposed rule change and time for public comment. At the end of this last week, we saw the FCC's Media Bureau take actions in three different proceedings directly applicable to broadcasters to undo what had been done during the prior administration – rescinding actions with respect to noncommercial ownership reports, the disclosure of information about the sponsor of political advertisements, and on the treatment of TV assignment and transfer applications for television stations where shared service agreements are involved. Below, we'll give a few details about each of those actions.
Two of the rescinded actions were January rulings by the Media Bureau which, at the time they were issued, drew statements of concern from then-Commissioners Pai and O'Rielly. The Republican Commissioners argued that the actions should have been taken by the full Commission, not the Media Bureau. As these decisions were not final (appeals can be taken or reconsideration requests can be filed within 30 days of an action, and the full Commission, on its own, can set aside a staff action within 40 days), the Media Bureau, presumably at the urging of the new Chairman, set these actions aside for further consideration by the full Commission.…

A Presentation on the Obligations of Small Market TV Broadcasters to Begin To Upload Their Political Files into Their Online Public File as of July 1
By David Oxenford on June 11, 2014
Posted in Political Broadcasting, Television
TV stations in markets outside of the Top 50, and stations in the Top 50 markets that are not affiliated with one of the Big 4 networks, need to begin to upload new material placed into their political files into their Online Public File as of July 1 – just a few weeks away. David O'Connor of my firm and I conducted a webinar for television broadcasters from 7 states last week, where we discussed this new obligation for smaller TV stations, and talked about what documents are supposed to go into the political file. We also reviewed the content of the NAB forms that are helpful in tracking the documentation that needs to go into the political file. The slides from that presentation are available here.
As we wrote in April, the FCC has already reminded broadcasters of this new obligation as of July 1, and there does not appear to be any potential that the obligation will be changed between now and the July 1 effective date. Broadcasters need not upload political file contents that were placed into the file before July 1 (they should continue to be kept in the station's paper file for the two-year required holding period). But, starting on July 1, all new political file documents need to be placed into the station's Online Public file accessible through the FCC website.

Online Public File Requirement for TV Broadcasters Effective August 2, 2012
Posted in Public Interest Obligations/Localism
The FCC has announced that the obligation for television broadcast stations to post their public inspection files online will become effective August 2, 2012, absent a stay requested by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), which has appealed the rule to the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit.
Absent a stay, the rule requires full power and Class A television stations to post any NEW public file documents online at an FCC-hosted website as of August 2nd. Those broadcasters will have six months or until February 2, 2013 to post PRE-EXISTING public file documents online.
The political public file, which is the subject of the NAB appeal, will be treated a bit differently. NEW political public file documents must be posted effective August 2 by only the top four network affiliated stations (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) in the top 50 markets. There is no requirement to post pre-existing political file documents online.
All other TV stations (i.e. non-network affiliated stations in the top 50 markets and ALL TV stations outside of the top 50 markets), do not have to post political public file documents online until July 1, 2014.…

What is a Broadcaster to Do When Approached by an Ad Agency Buying Time for an Undisclosed Political Candidate?
By David Oxenford on May 24, 2012
Posted in Political Broadcasting
Does a broadcast station need to book a political ad buy for an agency purporting to be representing a candidate, but refusing to reveal who that candidate is? We've recently received this question from a number of broadcast stations in a number of states, as agencies seemingly are jockeying to tie up valuable commercial time in advance of what is likely to be a hotly contested election in November. This seems to be happening particularly with stations that have coverage areas that include parts of certain "swing states" in the Presidential election, or in states with crucial Congressional or Senatorial elections. It seems to us that, unless and until you know that there is a real candidate, there is no obligation for a station to book time for a hypothetical candidate or candidate to be named later.
Booking time for an unknown candidate raises numerous issues for a station. How can a station account for the sale of that time in its political file? If it doesn't know who the candidate is, it can't place the required information (which includes the candidate's name) into the political file. Booking time for a political candidate gives rise to equal opportunities obligations, even outside the 45 and 60 days political windows. How can you determine to whom you owe equal time when the station itself doesn't even know who the candidate is? And, if the agency even refuses to reveal if it is a Federal or state campaign for which it plans to buy time, making time available to an agency on behalf of an unknown candidate that turns out to be a state candidate may cause the station, through the application of equal opportunities, to have to sell time for a race to which it did not intend to provide access, or to open up dayparts to that state race when it did not intend to offer those dayparts to state candidates. In fact, without knowing the candidate, how can the station assess whether the candidate is legally qualified, or that the time is being purchased by an authorized candidate committee? …

FCC and Public Interest Groups Demand Copies of TV Stations' Public Inspection Files, As FCC Nears Decision About Requiring That The Complete File Be Posted Online
By David Oxenford on April 3, 2012
Posted in General FCC, Political Broadcasting, Programming Regulations, Public Interest Obligations/Localism, Television
While rumors are flying that the FCC is rushing to adopt its proposals to require that TV stations put their public inspection files online (see our summary of the proposals here), both the FCC and public interest groups are targeting the public files of television stations – looking to copy some or all of those files. Rumors are that the FCC inspected the public files of all television stations in at least one city – and asked for copies of the complete files to be produced at the FCC within a day or two, in some cases requiring the copying of several file cabinets worth of material very quickly. Whether this inspection is a one-shot deal or the start of a program to audit the files of TV stations across the country is unclear. At the same time, public interest groups have been urging their members to inspect TV station public files across the nation, to copy parts of those files, and to post the information that they collect online. TV stations across the country need to be prepared for these inspections.
Why these actions now? Some may think that the FCC is just conducting a random audit, while others may suggest that the demand for complete public files is just a fact-finding mission as part of its rulemaking process. The more suspicious of broadcasters may think that this represents the FCC sending a message that the online public file is coming, and stations may find it easier to accept the online file rather than facing these demands for the instant reproduction of their entire files to be inspected at leisure in Washington. …

What the NY Times Article on the Broadcast Public Inspection File Says About the FCC's Public File Requirements
By David Oxenford on December 7, 2011
Posted in General FCC, Programming Regulations, Public Interest Obligations/Localism, Television
While the FCC is entertaining comments on its proposal to move the public inspection file for broadcast television stations online (see our article here), the existing physical public files of several New York area broadcasters came under examination by the New York Times, according to an article in Sunday's paper. The article seemed to both make fun of the contents of the required public file, while at the same time noting that the people at several stations contacted by the reporter seemed to be unaware of the Commission's requirements that the file be made available immediately to anyone who visits a station and asks to see it, and that requiring appointments is not an option. We've written in the past about stations that received substantial fines for requiring a visitor to make an appointment to see a station's files (see, one case where a commercial TV station was fined $10,000, and another where a noncommercial FM was fined $8000 for a similar violation). If the NY Times article is accurate, stations need to reexamine their policies and be sure that those dealing with the public know of the location of the file and the fact that it must be made available upon request – no questions asked. For more information about the public file requirements, see our Guide to the Basics of the Public Inspection File for Commercial Stations, here.
The second aspect of the report, poking some fun at some of the weird comments from the public found in the file, reinforces some of what I have been told by broadcasters. At a broadcaster meeting last week, I was told stories of station public files that have expanded exponentially since the FCC added a requirement that the file contain emails from the public, as well as letters. Broadcasters report that the letters from the public can now often take up several drawers of a file cabinet, while the remainder of the file fits in a single drawer. While the Commission has tentatively concluded that these letters would not be required to be included in the electronic online file, the recent rulemaking proposal did suggest that the letters be retained at the station, and that perhaps summaries of the written comments be made part of the online file. In addition, comments were requested as to whether social media posts about station operations be kept in some fashion – even though sites like Facebook and Twitter, by their very nature, keep most of what it posted on their sites for the public to view (see our summary of the proposals here). Broadcasters at my meeting last week were very concerned about the volume of paper that would generate, and the need for manpower to review Twitter feeds and Facebook posts almost around the clock to see if any needed to be placed into the file as they related to the station operations.…

December 22 Comment Deadline Set for FCC Proposal for Online Public Inspection File for TV – What is the Regulatory Burden?
By David Oxenford on November 22, 2011
Posted in Public Interest Obligations/Localism, Television, Website Issues
The FCC has set the date for comments on the proposal for television stations to maintain an online public inspection file, including an online political file (see Federal Register notice here). Comments are due on December 22. Replies are due on January 6. Happy Holidays from the FCC! We summarized the FCC's proposals here and here. While the proposed new rules will relieve stations from the burden of hosting the files themselves (as the FCC is proposing to host all of the files on its own servers), it still requires that stations upload their information – including all information that is put in their political file, into a new electronic reporting system to be devised by the FCC. As we described in detail in our summary of the proposal for the online public file, the FCC is asking whether certain new public file obligations should be added to those currently in place. These include possible posting of comments on programming that come from the station's social media efforts in addition to the letters and emails currently required; a proposed requirement to place in the public file information about sponsorship identification of all "pay for play" material that is broadcast on a station (currently only broadcast, not kept in any paper form); a requirement to provide information about shared services agreements and the programming that they provide to a station; and a requirement that all information about fines and other enforcement actions taken against a station be posted to the online file. So how much does the FCC think that this will cost stations?
As we wrote yesterday, in adopting rules, the FCC is currently bound by the Paperwork Reduction and the Regulatory Flexibility Acts, both of which require some assessment of the impact of new regulations, particularly on small businesses. In the Federal Register publication, the FCC's assessment of the regulatory burden of these proposed new obligations is broken down into several pieces. The burden for the new online public file requirement, including the posting of the political file, is set forth as follows:
Respondents/Affected Parties: Business or other for-profit entities; Not for-profit institutions; Individuals or households
Number of Respondents and Responses: 25,422 respondents; 59,833 responses
Estimated Time per Response: 1 to 104 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion reporting requirement; Recordkeeping requirement; Third party disclosure requirement
Obligation To Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits. The statutory authority for this collection of information is contained in 47 U.S.C 151, 152, 154(i), 303, 307 and 308
Total Annual Burden: 2,158,909 hours
Total Annual Costs: $801,150.00
Stations should look at and evaluate these numbers as part of their response, as the FCC has invited a cost-benefit analysis of the proposed new rules. How is it that the FCC assumes that the regulatory burden would be over 2 million hours, but that the costs would be less than a million dollars? How will this work be done and paid for? It is also interested in that the number of respondents is listed as 25,422. As there are only 1,782 full-power television stations and about 450 Class A stations according to the last FCC Report on station totals, who else is expected to report on this form? The FCC, in its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, specifically exempted radio from the obligations for an online public file – at least for the time being.…

Text of Online Public File Order Released – Details of What the FCC is Considering, and Suggestion that Radio May Be Next
By David Oxenford on October 28, 2011
Posted in Payola and Sponsorship Identification, Political Broadcasting, Programming Regulations, Public Interest Obligations/Localism, Television
The full text of the FCC's Order overturning its 2007 decision on online public inspection files for TV broadcasters and the adoption of the Form 355 "enhanced disclosure form" has now been released. This order, adopted at the FCC's open meeting this week (held on October 27, 2011, which we wrote about here), also contains a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking again suggesting an online public file, but this time it would be one hosted by the FCC. In reading the full text, more details of the FCC's proposal become clear. As set forth below, the Order suggests everything from a future application of these rules to radio once the bugs have been worked out, to an examination of whether a station needs to save Facebook posts and other social media comments in the same way that it preserves letters from the public and emails about station operations, to a proposal for stations to document in their files information about all "pay for play" sponsorships. Comments on these proposals, and the others summarized below, which include a request for detailed information about the costs of compliance with the proposals, are due 30 days from when the order is published in the Federal Register, with Reply Comments due only 15 days thereafter. The FCC, after sitting on these obligations for almost 5 years, now seems to be ready to move quickly.
In reaching it's decision, the order first discusses some proposals that it was rejecting – some for the time being. For radio broadcasters, the most important of the rejected thoughts was the extension of this rule to radio. The Commission noted that there were proposals pending and ripe for action as part of the Localism proceeding (which we summarized here), to extend the online public file obligations to radio. In this week's order, the FCC decided that it was not yet ready to apply these rules to radio. The Commission noted that there might need to be differences in the rules for radio (implying that, at least partially, there might be resource issues making it difficult for radio broadcasters to comply with these rules), and also finding that it would be better to see how an online file works for TV before extending the rule to radio. But, from the statements made in the Order, there is no question but that, at some point in the future, some form of the obligations that are proposed for TV will also be proposed for radio broadcasters.
Also, it is important to note that the FCC's Localism proceeding is not dead yet. While this week's Order stems from the FCC's Future of Media Report (renamed the Report on the Information Needs of Communities), and that report recommended that the Localism proceeding be terminated, this Order did not do that. The Commission notes its plans to start a new proceeding designed to force broadcasters to complete a more comprehensive report on their public interest programming. That proceeding may be where the looming Localism proposals are finally dealt with. Statements at the meeting and passages in the Order make clear that the examination of the public interest obligations for broadcasters will begin with a Notice of Inquiry, which is a most preliminary stage of an FCC proceeding (which would be followed by a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking after the inquiry comments are reviewed) and then an Order. So final resolution of these issues seem to be far down the road. If that is the case, will the Localism proposals stay on the table until the Order in this new proceeding is adopted? It is certainly unclear from the Commission's statements thus far.…

2016 Honda CR-Z Overview
Is the 2016 Honda CR-Z a Good Used Car?
The 2016 Honda CR-Z is a two-seater that aspires to be a sporty hybrid. Aside from its nimble handling, however, this subcompact car is not particularly athletic. It also isn't especially fuel-efficient.
We analyzed 51 Honda CR-Z reviews and included information on safety, reliability, fuel economy, and more to give you a comprehensive overview of the 2016 CR-Z. U.S. News & World Report has been ranking vehicles since 2007, and our Best Cars team has more than 75 years of combined experience in the automotive industry. To ensure our impartiality, we don't accept expensive gifts or trips from carmakers or dealers, and an outside team handles our site's advertising.
How Much Is the 2016 Honda CR-Z?
Based on the 20-plus listings on our site for the 2016 Honda CR-Z, you can expect to pay between $13,200 and $19,900. The average list price is $16,000. Prices vary depending on the vehicle's condition, mileage, features, and location.
See the Best Used Car Deals »
How Much Does the 2016 Honda CR-Z Cost to Own?
There's more to owning a car than its list price. Estimated five-year costs for gas, insurance, maintenance, and repairs for the 2016 Honda CR-Z are $21,334, which is less than the subcompact sedan segment's average of $21,960. The 2016 Honda Fit will cost you an estimated $19,568 over five years, the 2016 Chevrolet Spark will cost $19,068, and the 2016 Kia Rio will cost $20,834.
Is It Better to Buy a Used or New CR-Z?
You can't buy a new Honda CR-Z. It was discontinued after the 2016 model year.
If you'd like to buy a new car for the price of a used CR-Z, there are several options. The 2018 Honda Fit (MSRP: $16,190) won our 2018 Best Subcompact for the Money award. It has an upscale, spacious interior and a versatile, roomy cargo area. Its estimated fuel economy is 29 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, which is close to the two-seat CR-Z's EPA rating of 31/37 mpg city/highway. Also, the Fit's total cargo capacity is twice as large as the CR-Z's. There is no practical reason to purchase a used CR-Z when you can buy a new Fit.

How Reliable Is the 2016 Honda CR-Z?
The 2016 CR-Z has a reliability rating of 3.5 out of five, which is above average for the industry but slightly lower than the reliability rating of other top-ranked subcompact cars, including the Kia Rio, Toyota Prius c, and Fiat 500.

Which Model Year of the Honda CR-Z Is Best?
The 2016 Honda CR-Z marks the final year of the hybrid coupe's only generation, which began with the 2011 model. You can save considerable money by purchasing an older model. CR-Zs from 2013 to 2015 score decently (8 to 8.1) and have standard features like Bluetooth and a rearview camera. Still, the 2016 model adds a number of nice standard features, like a 7-inch touch screen that controls the audio system, display settings, and Pandora. If you're a fan of technology, stick with the 2016. Otherwise, save a couple thousand dollars and get the 2014 or 2015 model.
Compare the 2014, 2015, and 2016 CR-Z »
Which Used Honda CR-Z Model Is Right for Me?
The 2016 Honda CR-Z comes in three trims: LX, EX, and EX-L Navi. The LX has automatic climate control, push-button start, Bluetooth, a six-speaker audio system, satellite radio, and a 7-inch touch screen. The EX includes features like a seven-speaker audio system, automatic high-intensity discharge headlights, and Honda LaneWatch, which shows what's in the right lane when you turn on the right turn signal. The EX-L Navi trim adds leather, heated seats, navigation with voice recognition, and HD Radio, among other features. With its upgraded technology, the EX trim is the best value.

Certified Pre-Owned Honda CR-Z Warranty
You'll get some extra peace of mind with a certified pre-owned CR-Z, even though the model has above-average reliability. Honda extends its original new-car limited powertrain warranty to seven years or 100,000 miles for all certified pre-owned models, and it extends the new-car non-powertrain warranty to four years or 48,000 miles. If the CPO Honda you purchase is more than four years old or has more than 48,000 miles, you'll receive a one-year/12,000-mile non-powertrain limited warranty. Honda CPO vehicles must pass a 182-point inspection. Additional benefits like towing and roadside assistance may be available, so read Honda's warranty page carefully. The model's original sale date determines whether it is eligible for the CPO program.
Honda's CPO program is decent. According to our analysis, it's more robust than those offered by Toyota, Mazda, and Nissan.

How Safe Is the CR-Z?
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the 2016 Honda CR-Z as Good, its top score, in four crash test categories. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the hybrid four out of five stars in the frontal crash test, three stars in the side crash test, and five stars in the rollover crash test.
The CR-Z comes standard with a rearview camera. Blind spot monitoring (Honda LaneWatch) is available.

2016 Honda CR-Z Versus the Competition
Which Is Better: 2016 Honda CR-Z or 2016 Toyota Prius c?
The 2016 Toyota Prius c has fuel economy numbers that the CR-Z can't come close to matching. The Prius c also provides good maneuverability in tight spaces. Its front seats are comfortable, and the rear seat offers enough head- and legroom for adults. The Prius c's better fuel economy and inclusion of a rear seat make it the more logical choice.
Which Is Better: 2016 Honda CR-Z or 2016 Ford Fiesta?
The 2016 Ford Fiesta delivers a smooth ride and gets good power from its available turbocharged engine. That engine also delivers excellent highway fuel economy that bests the CR-Z's, even though the Fiesta is not a hybrid. The Fiesta's agile handling makes it fun to drive. However, it has the lowest possible reliability rating of two out of five. That awful score makes it hard to recommend the Fiesta over the CR-Z.
Compare the CR-Z, Prius c, and Fiesta »
2016 CR-Z Performance
How Does the 2016 Honda CR-Z Drive?
The 2016 Honda CR-Z features a four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that combine to produce 130 horsepower. The Honda CR-Z's engine delivers lively acceleration from a dead stop. Above 20 mph, acceleration is adequate but not particularly sporty.
A six-speed manual transmission is standard. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is available. The CR-Z is one of the only hybrids on the market available with a manual transmission. The manual shifts precisely and is fun to use, but the optional CVT increases fuel efficiency.
Does the 2016 Honda CR-Z Get Good Gas Mileage?
The CR-Z gets an EPA-estimated 31/37 mpg city/highway with the standard manual transmission and 35/38 mpg with the available CVT. The CR-Z's fuel economy is slightly above average for a subcompact car, but it is worse than the fuel economy of many other small hybrids.
2016 Honda CR-Z Towing Capacity
The CR-Z is not designed to tow a trailer, according to Honda.

2016 CR-Z Interior
How Many People Does the 2016 CR-Z Seat?
The 2016 CR-Z seats two and comes standard with cloth upholstery. Leather upholstery and heated seats are available. The seats offer adequate room for most adults, though some taller riders may find legroom lacking. The CR-Z is the only hatchback without rear seats in its class, which makes it less practical than rivals.
How Many Car Seats Fit in the 2016 Honda CR-Z?
The CR-Z does not have a back seat, and child seats should not be placed in front seats.
2016 Honda CR-Z Features
Standard features in the 2016 Honda CR-Z include automatic climate control, push-button start, Bluetooth, a six-speaker audio system, satellite radio, a USB port, smartphone app integration, and a 7-inch touch screen. Available features include HD Radio, a seven-speaker audio system, and navigation with voice recognition.

PureVPN doesn't promote a trial on the website. We dug deep and found a webpage for something known as a'trial account', but that is somewhat misleading. It is really just a commercial program where you pay a non-refundable $2.50 (#2) for 3 days of support.
Handing Over your cash to PureVPN is remarkably easy, as the business supports more or less every payment format there's: credit card, PayPal, Bitcoin and several other cryptocurrencies (through CoinPayments), AliPay, assorted gift cards, and more than 150 other payment procedures via the Paymentwall platform.
After Parting with your money, download links point one to programs for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, the browser extensions and much more. We grabbed the Windows customer, also there came a welcome email with login details, as it had been downloading.
Setup Was simple, and following a quick launch, the Windows customer prompted us to pick one of five modes: Stream, Internet Freedom, Security/Privacy, File Sharing and Dedicated IP. We suspect most folks will wonder whether to choose Internet Freedom or even Security/Privacy, and there is no guidance.
The Support site told us that choosing a manner would optimize PureVPN's settings for this undertaking. File Sharing manners and the Streaming would optimize for speed, although As an example, choosing Security/Privacy would prioritize security over all else.
VPN This approach might be appreciated by Beginners since it means that they do not have to understand and tweak the underlying settings. But experts are inclined to approve, since there's no clear indication of what each mode does. There is nothing wrong with task-based style selection, but we would prefer a clear display of those settings that are unsuitable for each style, so experienced users can understand the effects of their choice.
After You're able to select at locations. This has lots of functionality, enabling you to navigate locations by cities or countries, search by name, see ping times, or make favorites for speedy recall afterwards.
Alternatively, Deciding upon a Purpose choice displays a listing of tasks you may want to carry out — unblocking Netflix or other streaming sites, using VoIP, accessing social networking websites or anything — and also you can in theory choose among them, and allow PureVPN to choose a server for you.
Connect To a host and the client displays your connection status. There is also an optional bandwidth chart showing your information transfers. You almost certainly won't need it, but it is good to see PureVPN making the effort.
The Client makes clever of usage of notifications to be certain you know what is happening. Choose a location and it will not waste your time with notifications. But if you change to the client notices another program, and a pop-up window appears to allow you to know when it connects and disconnects.
The Customer doesn't only have choices to start as an example, on system start and auto-connect. It can automatically open your default browser as soon as you're protected.
Need a Different protocol? PureVPN allows you to Pick from OpenVPN TCP/UDP, PPTP, L2TP, SSTP and IKEV. There is also an automated alternative which the client suggests offers the best speed and security, but from what we could see, that's not true: it just cycles through another protocols till it finds one that works.
Split Tunneling permits you to send the visitors of specified apps through your VPN. That requires more time to install, and you need to be very certain which apps you need to redirect, but it can also optimize performance by limiting your data transfer requirements.
The VPN Hotspot is an extra that is unusual, configuring a wireless hotspot which turns the host computer to a limited VPN router. Once it's enabled, you will be able to use your phone, tablet or other devices to go online through the host's PureVPN connection.
And the List continues, using IPv6 leak protection, a remarkably configurable kill button, along with a multi-port alternative which intelligently chooses the very best port, preventing any closed or throttled options. You can opt to utilize a non-NAT system to acquire a unique IP address, port forwarding is available if you need it, along with a Support section does not simply link to the site: it facilitates creating a service ticket from inside the client.
Even though There's lots of power , the port is a mess that is inconsistent and awkward. There are normal buttons, radio buttons, links, icons and sidebars, they do not necessarily work as you would expect, and although we figured out how to navigate around the system, it never felt natural or comfortable.
Still, The customer did a decent job for us, blocking DNS and WebRTC leaks, with the kill button successfully murdering our net access when the VPN connection fell. It may appeal, if you will use some of the client extra features.
We took a Look at PureVPN's Android program, and it was the exact same story as the Windows version. After choosing a'Mode' (not sure why), we were able to select countries, cities, or choose a Purpose (optimized for China, unblock that streaming service, etc ). It's more awkward to use than the VPN program, but you'll figure it out easily enough.
In a Inspection we pointed out that PureVPN created a big deal of its'zero log' policy. Nevertheless, the small print said there was a session logging, which appeared to include time you connect to a server, your incoming IP address and the total bandwidth used.
This Is not a minor detail. In October 2017 reports appeared of a man being detained on suspicion of conducting"an extensive cyberstalking campaign", in part according to PureVPN records demonstrating that its services were obtained from originating IPs such as the accused man's home and office. The'zero log' VPN kept some sort of logs, after all, and these were able to help connect internet activities to a specific account.
This Doesn't address the dilemma of the company described itself as keeping'zero logs' in the main portion of the site, though, when this turned out not to be entirely correct. That is also not a trivial point. Logging policies are based almost entirely on trust, and a VPN is not inclined to be reliable if it is seen to mislead consumers or bury the reality of a scenario in the small print.
The Policy also clarifies the minimum connection data it will record –'We all know the day that you connected to a specific VPN place and from which Internet Service Provider' — and covers plenty of other vital issues in a clear and readable manner.
We Double-clicked the BBC choice, and viewed as the customer displayed and connected a'err-network-changed' message. What? This looked like a serious difficulty, however, the browser had only detected the shift in our community settings as the customer connected, and once this was complete, the BBC iPlayer site opened and opened content as usual.
It had been The same story with Netflix. The client launched our browser before the link was complete, so we saw the same error message, but that vanished automatically, and we were free to browse and stream whatever Netflix content we liked.
You're Not restricted to the services built into PureVPN's programs , naturally. YouTube was not included on the list but we were got by connecting to a US server in the way in.
Our Performance tests involve running custom software which links to servers, assessing ping time rates, place and more. Regrettably, we could not get this working with PureVPN, or figure out why (whether that's our fault or theirs, we can't be sure).
We fell Back on our older manual way of linking via clients and assessing the results from several speed checking websites, such as SpeedTest.net, Fast.com and TestMy.net. This will not provide us as much information to work with, but there is still enough to get a feel for what the service can provide.
Our neighborhood UK servers diverse but still gave us very decent download rates of 50-65Mbps on our test connection.
Near European speeds were mildly below average. Netherlands connections can deliver much the same speeds for us as UK servers, but they were.
US Performance ranged from approximately 30Mbps to 50Mbps, on the coast about the east. That's far from the fastest we have seen, but unless you're likely 24 hours of intensive torrenting, it's most likely not going to cause you any difficulties.
As usual, Speeds tailed off radically for the locations that were more distant or less common. By way of instance, New Zealand averaged 12Mbps, Vietnam had been 10Mbps, 1Mbps was reached by Taiwan, and China ranged down to such a speed that the web often stalled mid-test. That puts the size of PureVPN's network into perspective (having loads of servers does not matter if many are unusably slow), but if you're only planning to utilize the significant places, it will not matter very much.
On a few Occasions, our PureVPN Windows client wasn't able to connect to our preferred test server. The Cancel button didn't work, but the issue here is that the link did not time out for many minutes, although that is not uncommon.
Let us start off by making something clear, i.e. whatever VPN service you use, the online rate will take a hit. That hit is a result. The majority of VPN services make every attempt to make certain that the hit is as mild as it could be. Unlike what many folks will have you think like using dial-up, that it's not likely to be.
How we tested the operation was by using Ookala's nifty speed testing website and program. Then we ran the speed test on both the global and national servers. Then we compared the outcomes and that's the way we found PureVPN to be faster.
PureVPN includes a national latency of a mere 6.7% percent. As a matter of fact, during our evaluations that were downloading, PureVPN improved rates substantially that by our calculations is an percent. We discovered that rival VPN providers were substantially slower. Some individuals guess were throttling download speeds perhaps because they didn't want to stress out their servers.
Once it comes to uploads, PureVPN did not really boost it did with downloads, but it took a mere 4.5percent percent hit. If anything this is still one of the upload scores we have seen from a VPN supplier.
Throughout our international speed tests, the latency increased by 200 percent. Though download rates have been still a whopping 403.8% better than any of the competing products I tested it against. The uploads were 22.7% percent slower that is second best when compared to perhaps Hotspot Shield which enhanced the upload speed by 1.4% percent.
The map on the left allows you skip the program's default recommendation and choose a server on your own. Remember that by default PureVPN selects the server which is frequently the nearest one. When in China I discovered it kept picking up servers in Hong Kong by default which is not simply nearby but also the simple fact that the cyberspace of Hong Kong is not as rigorously censored as China.
PureVPN has over 2000 servers which are spread across 140 countries and 180 areas around the world. Servers are located in North America, Central America, South America, Asia, Europe, Asia, and Africa. You might believe that PureVPN only has servers in nations which maybe don't censor or block sites, but you would be wrong. Servers in Russia, Turkey, and China are there in case they were needed by you.
Over time VPN providers, in general, have received bad press for infamously slowing down net speeds that users have never been pleased with obviously. There are many VPN providers that slow down what may be net that is slow. Fortunately, with PureVPN that is not true even if you use it to flow Netflix, YouTube, etc..
I've used dozens of VPN apps through the years, and PureVPN is like a breath of fresh air. It is easy to use and in relation to the last time I used the program its geared towards people who are new to using VPNs. As soon as PureVPN loads you're prompted to choose from five choices, i.e. Safety, Internet Freedom, Stream, Remote/Dedi IP (this feature gives you a dedicated IP) and Document Sharing. An experience that is predicated on the option selected is then delivered by the app.
The other thing I enjoy about PureVPN is that all the features are to the stage. For example, their Web Freedom feature lets you choose what region you want to access Netflix from, like from the united kingdom, Australia, etc.. Netflix can be even accessed by you in which it is otherwise blocked.
Compared to the last time I used PureVPN now around it sensed zippier. The interface has been glowing, with colorful pictures some of which may be difficult to read on a screen that is smaller. When you're connected to a server, you are going to see the IP address, connection status, and the duration of your session.
The traffic graph gives you a fantastic sense of how much bandwidth is being consumed, which is useful for anybody on a metered online connection. Nonetheless, it is important to mention for those worrying about data caps which PureVPN does not have any. You're just limited to what the ISP has in store for you!
Like most other competing VPN services, you pick the server and the nation it is based in. You can search for servers and click on them to connect. Apparently, some servers based on which you're found are currently going to be quicker than others because of lower latency.
We have admittedly used PureVPN earlier, but after a hiatus or perhaps two decades we pretty much forgot how things worked. As soon as you've chose to subscribe and download their software, choose a password and you are going to have to put in your email. Interestingly and perhaps confusingly, this isn't what you'll use to the software to log-in, but instead it is used for billing purposes.
After subscribers have compensated, they receive an email with the username and password in plain text. We've used VPNs using the exact same method to distinguish payment identities out of consumer identities which guarantees anonymity that was better. Nevertheless we believe that it could be confusing to users however its something you get used to. Plus, in our experience the email will property for some reason on your junk folder, so be certain before calling support, to check that also.
PureVPN includes a support Site with a number of troubleshooting manuals and tutorials. The opening page points you to categories like Getting Started, Setup Guide, Troubleshoot, For Users in China and the best way to see Netflix US, for instance, and nearly all of these segments include more content than you'd anticipate.
The Setup Guide has subsections for Routers, Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Smart TV and Devices, for example, and even a number of those individual segments have more content than the whole support site of lesser VPNs.
Although it's an impressive amount of work, we're Unsure how effective and reliable it may be. We assessed the OpenVPN setup guide, for instance, and discovered it failed. OpenVPN wasn't installed properly, there weren't any PureVPN settings files, and there was no information in the manual to help us figure out that.
If the Site can not help, you can send an email or increase a support ticket from inside the customer. We chose the service and the ticket path performed very well, together with the aid team sending us a useful and friendly response to our evaluation question .
PureVPN Comes bundled with a pile. These do not always work as you might anticipate and there are tons of usability problems with the programs — but demanding users who will utilize this level of VPN power must give PureVPN a look.


Congress just passed the Healthcare Reform act of 2010 and included is a provision specifically for biotechnology companies that returns 50% of qualifying R&D expenses, or, if they are in a non-tax paying situation, an equal amount as a grant. In other words, qualifying companies can spend $1 million on R&D and receive $500,000 back. One qualifier is that companies must be under 250 employees, so this applies to small to medium organizations, or possibly in some cases, subsidiaries of larger organizations.
This is an extraordinary opportunity that should not be missed by qualifying biotech companies, but they must move fast. The tax credit applies to both 2009 and 2010, but is capped at a combined $1 billion, and is on a first come first serve basis. The regulation goes into effect in the next 30 to 60 days and they hope to accept filings 30 days after that. This means companies must implement an effective documentation process immediately for both past and current R&D activity.
RIX® Technology is ready with a special Biotech Module to help companies immediately begin gathering current R&D activity data and documentation, and capture past activity. Our online service requires no new software or hardware and can be put into service quickly. Once RIX® is implemented, scientists and engineers can begin reporting immediately. Regularly, or at any time, RIX® can provide compilation reports and when needed a final report with tax credit calculations for rapid filing.

Sophomore Season
One was amazed by the enormous number of bills that get introduced but go nowhere, another by the logjam of legislation at the end of the General Assembly session - and another wondered how the state has a $9.2 billion budget but never seems to have enough money. This week Jim Hummel sits down with four first-term lawmakers - who he interviewed a year ago on the eve of their swearing-in - to talk about what they learned during their first session, and how they will approach their second General Assembly session differently.
A year ago they were trying to learn names, and figure out seating assignments, parking spaces and the process of becoming a lawmaker. They ran for different reasons - but each with the optimism that baseball players have on the opening day of spring training.
Shortly before they were sworn in last January, The Hummel Report sat down with four of the General Assembly's 16 newly-elected first-term lawmakers: They include Representatives Julie Casimiro a Democrat from North Kingstown, Jason Knight a Democrat from Barrington and Republican Representative Robert Quattrocchi of Scituate - along with Senator Jeanine Calkin, a Democrat from Warwick.
We gathered them again earlier this month to get their reflections on the first session.
Calkin: ``Why can't we address more of the bills earlier in the session and not wait until the end?''
Calkin echoed a sentiment we heard from all four: a hurry-up-and-wait feel to the session, where virtually nothing of substance gets done in the first couple of months - followed by a deluge of legislation in the final weeks.
Calkin: ``You hear all the time about bills that get a hearing then get held for further study: year after year after year. And I would love it if there was some other way, whether it be a majority of the senators or the reps could request a vote one way, just to kind of push it to the next level.''
Casimiro: ``What surprises me also is the number of bills that never leave committee. And I think it's because you have to have somebody lobbying for them, so I will be lobbying a lot stronger this year.''
Hummel: ``What about the number of bills?''
Casimiro: ``Oh it's insane, it's insane.''
Hummel: ``Did you know there were that many bills?''
Casimiro: ``No, and what was really surprising for me in the first year is that we hear so few bills at the beginning of the session, then that last week it's an insane amount of bills coming to the floor.''
How many bills? During the 2017 session more than 2,400 bills were filed - 1,386 on the House side and 1,030 in the Senate.
Quattrocchi: ``I'm not a legislator that feels that we need a real lot more laws being produced. What did we have, like 2,500 proposed coming from both chambers? 2,500 laws? How many laws do people need to tell them how to live their lives?
Knight said as the session progressed he learned where the fate of legislation was actually decided.
Knight: ``We think that the decisions on the bills get made while we're all debating them in this room. The textbook answer to how we do our jobs is you sit in this chair, listen to the arguments back and forth, make a decision in this chair and press the button. And that's not how it works. By the time a bill gets to the floor most everybody has made a decision and the real policy arguments have happened in the back rooms - they've happened up the Speaker's office, they've happened in leadership's office, they happen because two reps are sitting in a corner and they grab in another one and say what do you think about this? So the real debate actually happens in the back rooms and the back halls.''
Hummel: ``So is the rest of this just for show?''
Knight: ``I don't think so. When you see the debates up here they are people making their points for the record.''
Knight says this year he plans to narrow his focus, introducing fewer bills and concentrating his efforts on getting the highest priorities passed. That includes legislation about reproductive rights. Rhode Island law makes abortion illegal, but it has been superseded by The Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision almost 35 years ago allowing abortion. He says President Donald Trump's election last year changes everything.
Knight: ``Now we're in a time where there's a possibility that Roe V. Wade could be flipped because of changes upstairs in the United States Supreme Court.''
Hummel: ``Then it reverts to the states?''
Knight: ``So if Roe v. Wade is flipped arguably, probably all of those laws that are on our books become active again and abortion is immediately illegal in the state of Rhode Island. It is not a niche issue, it's something that I hear about every day. It has a huge percentage of the communications I have with my constituents. I hear from people about choice all the time.''
Quattrocchi sits on the House Finance Committee, one of the highest-profile and time-consuming committee assignments.
Hummel: ``Does it blow you away that we have a $9.2 billion and then we never seem to have enough money?''
Quattrocchi: ``I have said it many times I find it to be an obscene amount of money, especially if you at a state like New Hampshire, which is much larger than Rhode Island and operates at nearly half the budget and with no sales tax and without state income tax. So, where is all this money going?''
Hummel: ``We talked last year, you came (to the State House) for the 38 Studios stuff and you were sitting in the audience and now you're sitting there. Did your perspective change at all being on the other side of the microphone, listening?''
Quattrocchi: ``Well certainly, I've seen a lot more and listened to a lot more of what's going on. I'm just really baffled at how many departments can never get enough. It's never enough. It's like, okay: we may be in a deficit, but we need more.''
Hummel: ``The state has faced some challengers. The budget is always a problem and it's going to get worse this year, UHIP has been an issue, you'll have the Pawsox coming up. I'm wondering being on the inside now, does it look any different from the inside than it did from the outside?''
Casimiro; `` I think it's more frustrating on the inside, I'm particularly alarmed by what's going on with DCYF, having come from the child welfare world, and I think it's more alarming on the inside because it's right there in your face, as opposed to the average citizen reading about it in the newspaper, it's up close and personal, so the UHIP disaster, DCYF, it's right there for you. UHIP is the biggest example of frustration for elected officials. We know there's a problem and it's just not being fixed.''
Calkin agrees
Calkin: ``It's one of those things that really frustrates me, considering the amount of money that we spent on it, the amount of time. I worked for large corporations that were able to do things because either through efficiencies or having in- person staff. And I look at that whole thing and I go: There's got to be a better way. How did it take so long and cost all of that money?''
Knight talked about the struggle between voting his conscience and representing those who may disagree philosophically or politically.
Knight: ``When you run for this job, you say to yourself `I want to do the right thing' I want to go up there and try to make the best policy decisions I can for Rhode Island and for my community. You come up here and you learn that every decision you make has a political value, either positive or negative. And so there's I think a natural tendency for a certain kind of person to start making their votes strictly on that political value. I try to make the best decisions on a policy basis for Rhode Island and some of those decisions are going to be unpopular: 48
Quattrocchi, as one of only 11 Republicans in the House, said he knows it's a challenge getting legislation passed as a member of the minority party.
Quattrocchi: ``I've always lived by the philosophy that it's hard to get worked up about what you can't control. I'll try and control what I can and add what I can, as best as I can.''
As for knowing now what they didn't know a year ago?
Calkin: ``A lot about the process, obviously being a new legislator there's a lot of things you learn on the fly. I used to say it's like trying to catch a bus that's driving down the street.''
Knight: ``There's a lot that goes on around here that nobody's going to tell you about, there's a lot that goes on that you have to find out for yourself and you come in, in the next year with that accumulated knowledge - you're not starting from zero.''
Casimiro: ``The first year is a real learning challenge. I mean you've got to learn how to get things done, but you're also building relationships and friendships. Now I think I'm going to hit the ground running. I'm a lot stronger this year.
At the State House, Jim Hummel, for The Hummel Report.

American Politics: Then and Now
Shawn Mullin
The Beginning of the American Republic
The year was 1789 and America was on the precipice of becoming a great nation. It was the year that would see George Washington become the first President of these United States. The population was around 3,000,000 white people as opposed to 700,000 slaves. Roughly 90% of the population was in agriculture, while the remaining 10% were considered the ruling elite.
The Aristocracy From The Homeland Of Europe
Research shows that the nation was struggling to put down its roots of what would become the political system we now know as our government. There were two schools of thought; one called 'strict constructionist,' which stood for states rights. The other side of this equation was called 'loose constructionist,' which believed in a strong national government at the expense of states rights.
This ideology has shifted between each political party since then. Consequently, each party in power adopting a 'loose constructionist' point of view. This gives the ruling party more power and control. Looking across the political landscape we have today; not much has changed. One other detail to note is that 'strict constructionist' seem to favor the farming industry which has always had the least voice among the ruling class.
This was true at the founding of our nation and still holds true even today. We no longer have a large majority of farmers; however, many do not fall into the category of what is now called the ruling elite. It is also interesting to note the George Washington leaned toward 'loose' constructionist' points of view and was rumored to have disagreed with many points of the Declaration of Independence. He was a great leader, but the aristocratic leanings sometimes die hard. The influences from Europe would continue to have a foothold in American politics for many years to come. Even now, we still see these early ideologies in our modern day political arenas.
Thomas Jefferson Influenced Politics For Future Generations
Fast forward to Thomas Jefferson, a man who would forever shake the political landscape and further cement the platform upon which many generations would come to vote, view political bias and form the basis of their entire political agendas. Thomas Jefferson was not a friend of the aristocracy and formed what is called the Jeffersonian Party. It called itself the first Anti-Federalist party, then came to be known as the Democratic-Republican Party. They would eventually drop the name Democratic because to conservatives it represented bogeyman persona. They called themselves the Republican Party.
We need to be clear; this is not the Republican party that we know today. The Republican party we know today was reared in the fires of the 1850's pre-Civil War and was diametrically opposed to slavery. Slavery was not an issue which Thomas Jefferson opposed. He was a Virginia Plantation owner rumored to have fathered children by his slaves.
Thomas Jefferson was a fascinating figure, politically speaking. He had his own ideas and was not afraid to voice them. John Adams believed in "A government by the rich, the well-born, and the able, excluding from participation all others." Thomas Jefferson, on the other hand, stated he "favored government by the mob."
Our Political Ideologies Today
The unfolding of American politics is vast and far-reaching. The ideologies that shape our political landscapes even today are rooted in these ideologies from our past. Pursuing the origins of the parties is a vast and wide project that shows the characteristics of many of our founding fathers. We can draw distinct conclusions from research that clearly show those principles that were argued over then are still being argued over today. We still see John Adams definition of government being played out in the Democratic platform. We also see that, sadly enough, it is being played out in the Republican party, as well.
President Trump Is a Breath of Fresh Air
President Trump is a fresh voice in such a quagmire of political ambiguity. He is not the establishment of either party. He is a maverick that, for once in our history as a nation, is governing for the 90% instead of the 10%. Each day, more Americans are waking up to the fact that we finally have a President who is for the people of the country and not for the old aristocracy of a failed, European leadership. It is fair to say that in 240 plus years as a nation, we finally have a true President of the United States in Donald J. Trump.
President Trump has not only championed for the people of the United States of America; he is reaching around the world and freeing other nations as well. This is not a status quo President, a man only in it for what he can get as so many others have been. Compared to Ronald Reagan and even John F. Kennedy, we have never in our lifetime witnessed such a leader of the free world. The elite hate him, the globalists want to take him out, and the mainstream media blatantly lies about any accomplishment he makes. A man doing his job never makes friends of those who are lazy and self-serving. This makes Donald Trump a champion of the American people.
One final word regarding Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying "We need revolution every 25 years to clear out any aristocracies.'" Perhaps he was right. We are watching the second American revolution being fought not with guns, but with our voices, our dissent against governing forces meant to enslave us to the system further. The idea of a second revolution is alien to many Americans.
America Is Starting to Wake Up
The mainstream media has kept many asleep to the ever-widening gap between average Americans and big government. It is so ingrained in the American psyche to accept the status quo that we do not question what is being spoon fed to us daily. This is counterproductive to a healthy America free from tyranny, foreign and domestic. One does not have to do anything more than flip through the vast array of channels to see the opposing and dissenting points of view.
The different views of America are indeed frightening. There is one side that believes America should carry on as is and the other that says enough is enough. You can see how the ideologies of the past have affected and grown like cancer into our modern political landscape. If we, the people, do not stand for what is right for all Americans, we fall for what is wrong for all Americans.

CHARLESTON, Ill. (AP) — Eastern Illinois University's Booth Library is hosting an exhibit featuring military veterans' tattoos.
The "Designs of Duty" exhibit is free and runs through May 11. It tells stories of seven Illinois veterans from Charleston, Newman, Nokomis, Olney, Shelbyville and Towanda who served over a 45-year period in Asia and Europe. The Effingham Daily News reports that the exhibit displays the veterans' military tattoos and details the meanings behind them.
Veteran Shane Wright of Shelbyville is in the exhibit. He has a tattoo of a skeleton in combat attire on his arm. The 28-year-old returned from Afghanistan eight years ago and says the tattoos are "a way to write down my story without forgetting it." He's now an officer with the EIU police.


For any time of pest control for your Cedar Park, TX home, it is important to carefully choose the best and most qualified professional pest control company with a good track record.

Some pest control exterminators are willing to travel increased distances, but they will likely schedule out a few days or in some cases weeks, or charge you an additional fee for their travel expenses.

Choose someone who knows what they are doing in regard to your specific problem. Asking for referrals is an important part of choosing your home exterminator. You can ask for referrals initially when you are trying to narrow down your options.

Peacock Releases an Unseen Clip of NBC's Sitcom 'The Office'
Rylee Farrar, Editor
NBC's popular 2005 sitcom The Office made its departure from Netflix shortly after the arrival of the new year. Its new streaming service, Peacock, has promised unseen footage and a collection of the series' best moments as a warm welcome.
A new previously deleted scene from the final season of the show was released, which includes a five minute clip of characters Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) and Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) playing a Matrix prank on Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson).
Throughout the series, Jim Halpert did not shy away from constructing broad stunts to play on Dwight, which had been a fan favorite recurrence. During the clip, key elements of the 1999 Sci-fi movie The Matrix were recreated in order to get a reaction out of Jim's coworker. The famous black cat glitch that occurs during the film was included, which caught Dwight and the audience's attention.
The joke continued on, capturing a routine similar to The Matrix's character Morpheus, who is played by Hugh Dane in the NBC prank. Because the scene would have aired after Dwight's proposal, his reaction is a complete backfire on Jim's plan. Dwight decides to take the blue pill, another reference to the popular franchise, which is the opposite of what the audience and coworkers would have expected from such a character.
The unseen clip can be watched by fans here. More deleted footage and playlists can be found on Peacock, where the series will be located for the next five years to come.

Outpatient laboratories are popular services that provide patients with a convenient method of receiving diagnostic tests without requiring a hospital stay. With one quick visit, patients can receive a myriad of tests that provide doctors with important information. These tests, in addition to physical examinations, offer a comprehensive overview of the patient's overall health.
Blood and body fluids provide valuable information that are unobtainable through other means. With regular diagnostic lab testing, patients are in a prime spot to receive early diagnosis and treatment for potential issues.
A physician order is required to draw your blood. Most lab tests can be completed during normal business hours without an appointment. Some tests do require fasting. Your physician office should indicate if fasting is necessary for the testing. In some cases, specimens may be collected at home and dropped off at the testing facility.
The Titusville Area Hospital outpatient lab hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday thru Friday, and 7:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays. The Oil City lab is open Monday thru Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. For more information call the Titusville Area Hospital outpatient lab at 814-827-1852 EXT 5240 or the Oil City lab at 814-676-0431. If awaiting results, please call your physician.
The Titusville Area Hospital outpatient lab is located in the hospital at 406 W. Oak Street, Titusville, PA. The Oil City lab is located in the Oil Valley Internal Medicine office at 116 Central Avenue, Oil City, PA.


Vitaene C has been the supporting sponsor of Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon for the past 7 years and this year more than 25,000 runners participated in the Dubai Marathon.
In the Marathon registration, a bottle of Vitaene C was placed in the packs which were given to all participants.
Vitaene C sponsored 20 runners who wore Vitaene C branded T-Shirt. They were selected via Facebook/Instagram competition. The competition reached 500,000 online users in UAE and we received more than 2,000 entries.
In addition to massive on site sampling in the booth, Vitaene C was present in Adidas booth, Marathon VIP Lounge and Marathon Media Room. The team also had some branding near the start/finish line.
Almost 700 cases of Vitaene C were distributed by the team among the runners and audience on the Marathon day.


As a major linking road between Adelaide and Melbourne, it's no surprise motorists don't often stop along the Dukes Highway on the way to their destination. But maybe they're missing out.
We think it's worth making a little time to explore the towns along the 190km stretch of road, even if it's just to break up the long drive east or on your return home to Adelaide. It might even appease the children in the backseat who've been asking if "you're there yet" for the past hour.
To help you, we've come up with 4 towns you should stop at along the Dukes Hwy.
The Dukes Hwy begins at Tailem Bend, making it a good place to chill out before you tackle the long stretch of bitumen that lays before you.
If you're interested in history or with the family, a visit to Old Tailem Town is a must-do.
This pioneer village has re-created life during Australia's early years, and in exploring it you can get a glimpse into what it was like for the settlers of South Australia from 1860 to 1960.
If you want to take in this spooky site at night, book a ghost tour of Old Tailem Town.
Are you looking for something with a bit more adrenaline? Burn some rubber at the new Bend Motorsport Park – well, two-wheel pedal-powered rubber at least. For a small fee, you can ride around the iconic 7.77km circuit.
Although Coonalpyn is one of the smallest towns along the Dukes Hwy, it's also home to one of Australia's biggest murals.
Internationally-renowned artist Guido van Helten's portrait of five local children at play on the town's 30m-high Viterra grain silos have become a highlight for motorists driving along the Dukes Hwy.
The artwork's popularity has resulted in a Coonalpyn Silo Café opening, providing tourists with a fresh cuppa while they admire the portraits. The Coonalpyn Silo Café is open 7 days a week, 6am to 6pm, except Sundays when trading starts at 7.30am.
You're unable to climb the silos at Coonalpyn, so we've found another vantage point along the way that'll give you a beautiful view of the region.
When you get to Keith, you'll need to take a 12km detour south to Mount Monster Conservation Park, which boasts a huge granite outcrop.
A short hike to the summit offers uninterrupted views of the natural bushland and wheat fields extending to the horizon. Trust us, it's worth the detour – particularly when the wildflowers are blooming in spring.
As its name suggests, this is the last town before you hit the Victorian border, so stock up on all those SA products you'll miss in the eastern states like Farmers Union Iced Coffee and Fruchocs.
If you just want to take a short break from driving, stop at the Bordertown Recreational Lake. Walking trails have been developed around the lake and past three public artworks – the Crooked Tank, the Horse Fence and the Sluice Gates.
Fishing is also a popular past time here and the lake is regularly stocked with yabbies, redfin and perch, so you can cast a line if you've packed your rod.
Note: Take your time while driving along the Dukes Hwy, as it's a busy freight corridor and a single-lane highway until you reach the Victorian border. If you're looking to overtake, you should take a few precautions. Only overtake when the white line nearest to the driver is broken and ensure the road ahead is clear for an adequate distance.

Longmont High School student's band…
Boulder Area news
Longmont High School student's band bringing Colorado blues to Memphis

By John Marinelli |
Memphis — people call it the home of the blues, the birthplace of rock-and-roll.
For Alfonzo Dworak, a Longmont High School sophomore and blues musician, it's one of the finest cities in the country. And this month, he'll represent Colorado during the 2020s International Blues Challenge there with his eponymous band. Other members include Aidan Roberts of Parker, new addition Charlie Chilson of Lyons and Aidan Debie, an alumnus of Longmont High who now attends CSU.
Dworak has been playing instruments since he was a young boy, originally starting with the piano. He moved on to the bass, and, a week after that, the guitar, eventually rounding out his skillset with a foray into singing when he was about 14.
"It's a big deal, really," said Darryl Abrahamson, one of two band directors at Longmont High School and Dworak's jazz band teacher, of the band's trip across the country.
Picked by the Mile High Blues Society as its youth representative, Alfonzo will travel to the event alongside two other Colorado representatives, solo artist Jeffrey Marshall and band West Side Joe and the Men of Soul.
"Throughout that one week of the year, the roads are closed off and there's music in every venue from… at least 3 p.m. and it goes until about 2 to 4 (a.m.), and that's for a little less than a whole week," Dworak said of the event. "Thousands of people come in."
He added that while most bands that play at the event are from America, last year he saw a number of bands from Europe and one from Korea.
And while his band has had much to celebrate, including a recent performance at Denver's Hard Rock Cafe and the release of its album "Judgement Day" on Spotify and other streaming platforms, Dworak said being one of his home state's blues ambassadors gives him pride.
"Memphis is probably one of my favorite cities in the country, and in addition, to be one of the faces that says, 'This is what it sounds like in Colorado' is an honor," he said.
Joe Whitmer, the producer of the International Blues Challenge and production consultant for The Blues Foundation, the organization that puts on the event, said that its competitive aspect can help propel winners of the challenge onto the national and international stage. All acts that come, though, get to witness what blues is like around the world, he added.
And with nearly 200 affiliated organizations sending up to three acts each — a solo artist, a band and a youth band or artist — there's plenty of variety.
"They get to see how other acts perform on the stage, what's the song selection that they're using, how they're interacting with the crowd," he said. "Even affiliates that don't have acts that finish in the semi-finals or finals, those acts learn something."
Whitmer added that he's seen a lot of younger acts like Alfonzo go on to do big things, too, during his time working on the International Blues Challenge. For example Micah Kesselring, a blues musician from Ohio, received a scholarship from The Blues Foundation when he was younger.
"We've watched a lot of young musicians come and participate in the youth showcase, which is a one-day event, and they go on to bigger and bigger things," he said. "Maybe they come back and compete in the challenge and they go on to the semi-finals and final stage."
Dworak said that those looking to see his band in Boulder County can get to La Vita Bella Cafe in Longmont at 8 p.m. on Valentine's Day.

You never really catch me in Brooklyn, but the day was too beautiful to pass up a chance for my daughter and I to visit the Thomas Edison Nation Historical Park at the Brooklyn Bridge Park in Pier 1! We had a glorious day and what's better is that we got to celebrate it with The MOMs, fellow influencers and the public. Here's what we did and why you should make a visit.
Did you know that the National Park Service was created in 1916? They've given us a century of wide open spaces and incredibly breathtaking natural beauty. Many families enjoy these open outdoors daily because it's a free public space where can relax and it's usually not too far from home.
Upon arrival to the Brooklyn Bridge Park, we stopped by The Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory to get our free scoop of ice cream. It was an ice cream social like never before. I've never been there, but I LOVE Ice cream. Gabby got a Vanilla treat while I kept it within the theme with the Birthday Cake flavor. It was so incredibly yummy!
Afterwards we stopped by a few tables that some park rangers had set up with different activities for the kids and families. Gabby had fun creating Sand art necklaces with one of her #BloggerKid friends!
I actually caught a really great picture in which a Park Ranger posed in the background! It was a great shot.
After the activities, it was time to dance with Ramblin' Dan and the Free Wheelin' Band! It's was a real live party. Kids and adults of all ages got up and danced their hearts out to the fine tunes. Jumping up and down the hills and not caring who sees. That's the liveness that Ramblin' Dan brings. Did I mention he's available for your kid's next Birthday party?
It was an amazing day to celebrate the National Park Service's 100th birthday. Did you know that there are over 400 National parks? It's amazing! We've visited quite a few, but we've got a LONG way to go. I encourage you and your family to truly make it a mission to visit these national parks and support the national park foundation.
To learn more about the National Park Service, head to their SITE.
Visiting the parks are so much fun. They are so varied and each offer different things to see and do. It looks like you al had a great time.

Q: How to apply categorized symbols to polygon layer with PyQGIS? I'm fetching a polygon layer from postgres using the following:
uri = QgsDataSourceURI()
uri.setConnection("localhost", "5432", "mydb", "postgres", "xxx")
uri.setDataSource("public", "my_table", "geom")
lyr = QgsVectorLayer(uri.uri(), "Blocks", "postgres")
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(lyr)

This layer has an attribute field named blocks that has 6 values:
    'A-6', 'B-4', 'G-5', 'D-2', 'P-7', 'C-3'.
I want to apply the color green to polygons where the attribute 'block' value is 'B-4' and red color to the other polygons in the layer that have a different value in the 'block' attribute.
I've seen code to apply graduated symbols using PyQGIS but I want categorized symbols.
How can I do this?

A: Categorized symbols and graduated symbols are applied in pretty much the same way. The only difference is that graduated symbols are taking into account certain ranges, whereas, categorized is simply taking in the actual field value. Quite honestly, you could literally replicate the code given from the PyQGis cookbook site:     http://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/pyqgis_developer_cookbook/vector.html#id19 and instead of inserting "upper" and "lower" ranges values, just put the 6 values you have:  'A-6', 'B-4', 'G-5', 'D-2', 'P-7', 'C-3'. It works the exact same way.
# create graduated marker symbol
blocks = (('Label_Name1', 'A-6', 'A-6', 'red'), \
            ('Label_Name2', 'B-4', 'B-4', 'green'), \
            ('Label_Name3', 'G-5', 'G-5' 'red'), \
            ('Label_Name4', 'D-2', 'D-2', 'red'), \
            ('Label_name5', 'P-7', 'P-7', 'red'), \
            ('Label_Name6', 'C-3', 'C-3', 'red'))

ranges = []
for label, lower, upper, color in blocks:
    rng = QgsRendererRangeV2(lower, upper, label)
    ranges.append(rng)
field = "blocks"
renderer = QgsGraduatedSymbolRendererV2(field, ranges)
layer.setRendererV2(renderer)

Is Hydrogen Peroxide effective in fight against Cancer?
The immune system can stop cancer through oxidation. If cells receive energy through oxidation then metabolism improves and immune system strengthens. Also, it increases production of interferon that combat infections and cancer.
Research shows that hydrogen peroxide kills viruses, bacteria, fungi, and cancer cells. As far back as the early 19th Century, doctors and many professors recommended hydrogen peroxide as an alternative treatment for many ailments, including cancer.
United States and Canada warn people not to drink products containing hydrogen peroxide for medical purposes. In the same time, most of the current research shows that there are no adverse reactions associated with ingestion of food grade hydrogen peroxide.
Luck of interest in advertising hydrogen peroxide can be explained by the fact that there is no financial incentive in using hydrogen peroxide in medical facilities since hydrogen peroxide cannot be patented. Also, it poses threat to pharmaceutical industry and hospitals that provide expensive drugs and medical procedures.
Drinking food grade hydrogen peroxide diluted in water increases the amount of oxygen in the body. It helps to stimulate white blood cells production and inhibit the growth of new blood vessels that feed tumors.
For centuries hydrogen peroxide was known to cure all kind of infections within a body. Many people are misinformed about the benefits of hydrogen peroxide. I think that it is a powerful healing method that should not be overlooked in boosting the immune system.
To learn more about ways to fight cancer and how to boost your immune system, please email or call Reiki Dome at 425-417-2066.
