BuzzFeed confirms plan to go public

BuzzFeed, the digital publisher known for viral content, announced Thursday its plan to go public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, signaling a shift in the business strategy of the once high-flying media startup.
BuzzFeed said it planned to merge with a publicly listed shell company, 890 Fifth Avenue Partners, in what is known as a SPAC deal. It will be valued at $1.5 billion (Dh5.5 billion), a decline from its 2016 valuation of $1.7 billion. As part of the proposed transaction, BuzzFeed will raise $438 million, with $150 million of that coming as debt financing.
BuzzFeed also announced that it would acquire Complex Networks in the deal for a total of $300 million, with $200 million in cash and the rest in stock. Known primarily for its pop culture coverage, Complex also hosts events on food, sports and sneaker collecting.
Jonah Peretti, founder and CEO of BuzzFeed, announced the merger at a news conference at the company's Manhattan headquarters. "This is a very exciting day for BuzzFeed and a great day for our employees and our partners," he said.
Once seen as the future of the media, BuzzFeed has become something of an outlier in an industry that has lately rewarded subscription-driven publications and newsletter platforms. If the investors in 890 Fifth Avenue vote in favor of the transaction, BuzzFeed expects to close the deal by the end of the year and the shares will trade under ticker symbol BZFD.
Adam Rothstein, executive chairman of 890 Fifth Avenue Partners and a venture investor known for investments in Israeli tech startups, will join BuzzFeed's board. Made up of veterans from the worlds of finance and media, the company's board members include current and former executives at ESPN, NBC, Playboy, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Subversive Capital and the A&E cable network.
It is unclear if BuzzFeed's shareholders, which include media giants like NBCUniversal, venture capitalists and a raft of current and former BuzzFeed employees, will be able to cash out as soon as the company goes public. It is not unusual for shareholders to have to wait in what is known as a lockup period.
Peretti's growth strategy appears to hinge on acquiring companies – in part to gain leverage over major distributors like Google and Facebook, but also because BuzzFeed has yet to achieve the kind of needed scale on its own.
In 2018, he quietly sought possible mergers with competitors such as Vice Media, Group Nine and Vox Media. In November, Peretti orchestrated BuzzFeed's acquisition of HuffPost, the site he helped found in 2005 with Arianna Huffington and investor Kenneth Lerer.
With the addition of Complex, BuzzFeed expects revenue to grow 24% to $521 million this year with pretax profit of about $57 million. Next year, it estimates revenue will hit $654 million and pretax profit of $117 million.
Still, that may not be enough.
"We'll have opportunities to pursue more acquisitions, and there are more exciting companies out there that we want to pursue," Peretti said during the news conference Thursday.
When asked which companies he might look to acquire, he responded, "I don't know, you have any ideas?"
Hatched out of a small office in New York's Chinatown in 2006, when Peretti was the chief technology officer of The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed started as an experiment in creating content meant to be shared on the web. He left what is now HuffPost in 2011, after AOL bought it for $315 million, and ended up transforming his project into a stand-alone media company with the help of $35 million from investors.
BuzzFeed soon became one of the fastest-growing digital publishers, eventually raising $500 million, and was hailed as the future of news media. But in recent years, it has missed ambitious revenue targets and some of its investors have agitated for a sale.
After a series of layoffs in 2019, BuzzFeed started to diversify its business, selling branded cookware and ramping up its product recommendation section, garnering a commission on each sale through affiliate agreements with Amazon and other companies.
"Our model evolved," Peretti said in an interview last year.
SPAC deals, once an arcane Wall Street maneuver, have become more common over the last year. Special purpose acquisition companies – shell corporations that list on a stock exchange – are usually created with the goal of buying a private business and taking it public.
Group Nine, a BuzzFeed rival, has gone a different route. It created an SPAC of its own in December, with the aim of finding a company to acquire before going public.

As they begin their run as American League West rivals, the Astros and Rangers will have baseball's opening night center stage all to themselves at Minute Maid Park.
ESPN and Major League Baseball announced Thursday that the Astros' home opener in their first AL season will be the 2013 MLB season opener at 7 p.m. March 31 and will air on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball."
This is the first time the Astros have been selected for the Sunday night ESPN opener, which is the only game on the opening-night schedule.
Astros president George Postolos said the team's ticket sales group broached the idea of asking for the March 31 date, and MLB officials agreed.
"It's a great opportunity for our franchise," he said. "We appreciate Major League Baseball making arrangements for us to be the showcase game setting us up against the Texas Rangers. Our staff thought it was something our season-ticket holders would appreciate and a way to celebrate changing leagues."
The Astros were scheduled to begin the season April 1 but will now start a day early, have a day off April 1, and wrap up the opening three-game set with the Rangers with games on April 2 and 3.
The team's remaining regular-season games move this year to Comcast SportsNet Houston, which is available in about 40 percent of the Houston area's 2.2 million TV households.
The Astros this season move to the AL West after 51 seasons in the National League, giving each league 15 teams. Single-game tickets for the 2013 season will go on sale in late February to season-ticket holders, team partners and fans registered through Astros.com, with public sales beginning March 4.

Carolyn Beam was so inspired by her "I Love This Quilt!" remake for the May/June 2018 issue of McCall's Quilting, she started working on it as soon as she selected the pattern and received her fabric.
"I Love This Quilt!" is a regular feature on the last page of each issue of McCall's Quilting. One person on staff chooses a favorite pattern from a past issue and remakes the quilt with new fabric and sometimes new techniques. For this issue, Carolyn chose Twenty-One Star Salute by Sherri Bain Driver, which was originally published in McCall's Quilting America Loves Scrap Quilts Winter 2013/2014.
The original quilt is sewn in a traditional palette of reds, blues and tans. Carolyn chose the Pepper & Flax collection by Corey Yoder from Moda Fabrics—featuring green, yellow and gray—for her version.
Although the original quilt was scrappy, the color placement was specific—the star points were all blue, the star centers were all red, etc. From the outset, Carolyn knew that her placement would be scrappier and more random when it came to color, and she decided to vary the value placement in each block to create a fresh look.
The star blocks are made with Fast Flying Geese and Square-in-a-Square units, so she used one of her favorite tools, the Fons & Porter Quarter-Inch Seam Marker, to mark her patches.
The star blocks went together quickly, and Carolyn soon was working on the pieced setting triangles.
With so many soft greens, yellows and grays, Carolyn knew she had to pay close attention to how she used fabric according to its value. She used it as an opportunity to really explore value and how much of a difference value placement can make.
Here's a diagram showing how the full quilt in Carolyn's chosen colorway will be put together. It's going to be beautiful when it's all finished!

36.312 -- 36.399 [Reserved] 36.401 New construction. For example, a vessel operator whose vessel departs from Point A, takes passengers on a recreational trip, and returns passengers to Point A without ever providing for disembarkation at a Point B (a dinner or harbor cruise, a fishing charter) is a public accommodation operated by a private entity not primarily engaged in the business of transporting people. Under this regulation, the Department of Justice covers passenger vessels operated by private entities not primarily engaged in the business of transporting people with respect to the provision of goods and services of a public accommodation on the vessel. Persons with complaints or concerns about discrimination on the basis of disability by vessel operators who are private entities not primarily engaged in the business of transporting people, or questions about how this regulation applies to such operators and vessels, should contact the Department of Justice.
Through this rule, the Department is adopting revised ADA Standards consistent with the 2004 ADAAG, including all of the amendments to the 1991 ADAAG since 1998.
These amendments to the 1991 ADAAG have not been adopted previously by the Department as ADA Standards.
36.507 Effect of unavailability of technical assistance. 36.509 -- 36.599 [Reserved] ) 36.604 Procedure following preliminary determination of equivalency. 36.605 Procedure following preliminary determination of equivalency (Redesignated from 36.606). Concurrently with the publication of the final rule for title III, the Department is publishing a final rule amending its ADA title II regulation, which covers nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in State and local government services. This rule is also available in an accessible format on the ADA Home Page at . Originally, the Access Board was established to develop and maintain accessibility guidelines for facilities designed, constructed, altered, or leased with Federal dollars under the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA). The ADA broadly protects the rights of individuals with disabilities in employment, access to State and local government services, places of public accommodation, transportation, and other important areas of American life. Chapters 3 through 10 of the 2004 ADA/ABA Guidelines provide uniform technical specifications for facilities subject to either the ADA or the ABA.
The Department is issuing this final rule in order to adopt enforceable accessibility standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) that are consistent with the minimum guidelines and requirements issued by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board, and to update or amend certain provisions of the title III regulation so that they comport with the Department's legal and practical experiences in enforcing the ADA since 1991. Blizard, Deputy Chief, or Christina Galindo-Walsh, Attorney Advisor, Disability Rights Section, Civil Rights Division, U. Department of Justice, at (202) 307–0663 (voice or TTY). Information may also be obtained from the Department's toll-free ADA Information Line at (800) 514–0301 (voice) or (800) 514–0383 (TTY). The Board consists of 13 public members appointed by the President, the majority of whom must be individuals with disabilities, and the heads of 12 Federal departments and agencies specified by statute, including the heads of the Department of Justice and the Department of Transportation (DOT). The ADA requires the Access Board to ''issue minimum guidelines that shall supplement the existing Minimum Guidelines and Requirements for Accessible Design for purposes of subchapters II and III of this chapter * * * to ensure that buildings, facilities, rail passenger cars, and vehicles are accessible, in terms of architecture and design, transportation, and communication, to individuals with disabilities.'' 42 U. Enactment of the ADA and Issuance of the 1991 Regulations On July 26, 1990, President George H. Bush signed into law the ADA, a comprehensive civil rights law prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability. ABA Chapter 1 and ABA Chapter 2 provide scoping requirements for facilities subject to the ABA (facilities designed, built, altered, or leased with Federal funds).
Under the Department's 1991 title III regulation, places of public accommodation and commercial facilities currently are required to comply with the 1991 Standards with respect to newly constructed or altered facilities.
Appendix A of the 1991 title III regulation, which is republished as Appendix D to 28 CFR part 36, contains the ADA Standards for Accessible Design (1991 Standards), which were based upon the version of the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (1991 ADAAG) published by the Access Board on the same date.
A vessel operator whose vessel takes passengers from Point A to Point B (a cruise ship that sails from Miami to one or more Caribbean islands, a private ferry boat between two points on either side of a river or bay, a water taxi between two points in an urban area) is most likely a private entity primarily engaged in the business of transporting people.
Vessels operated by private entities primarily engaged in the business of transporting people and that provide the goods and services of a public accommodation are covered by this regulation and the Department of Transportation's passenger vessel rule, 49 CFR part 39.

36.207 Places of public accommodations located in private residences. The Department's Rulemaking History The Department published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) on September 30, 2004, 69 FR 58768 for two reasons: (1) To begin the process of adopting the 2004 ADAAG by soliciting public input on issues relating to the potential application of the Access Board's revisions once the Department adopts them as revised standards; and (2) to request background information that would assist the Department in preparing a regulatory analysis under the guidance provided in Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A–4 sections D (Analytical Approaches) and E (Identifying and Measuring Benefits and Costs) (Sept.
The extent to which the 2004 ADAAG is used with respect to the barrier removal requirement applicable to existing facilities under title III (as well as with respect to the program access requirement in title II) is within the sole discretion of the Department. By the end of the extended comment period, the Department had received more than 900 comments covering a broad range of issues.

Should we throw a baby shower for our male co-worker? I have always been to baby showers for female co-workers. Is this something we should do?
I say yes, if you think he would be into that kind of thing. but just make sure you stay away from too much girly stuff like pastel colors and cute baby favor. What you need to do is plan a "daddy baby shower". It's basically a traditional baby shower with a male twist to it. For example, if you are having food opt for buffalo wings, fries, chips, etc. instead of stuff like finger sandwiches. Most daddy showers use a sports theme, but this is not set in stone. Just make sure that whatever theme you chose, it will not be to "girly" for him to enjoy. If you're doing favors, do candy cigars or small beer mugs filled with candy. Check out the "daddy shower" page listed under "Types of Showers" on this site for more ideas.


In this topical review we focus on recent advances in studies of lead-free perovskite in bulk form and as nanocrystals. Substituting lead in halide perovskites is essential to overcome toxicity concerns and improve the relative low stability of these materials. Lead free double perovskites in which the unit cell is doubled, and two divalent lead cations are replaced by mono and trivalent cations, expand material possibilities beyond a limited divalent cationic substitution. The current main challenge with the double perovskite metal halides lies in overcoming their inherently indirect and disallowed optical transitions. In this review, we discuss recent discoveries of the synthesis of these materials and highlight how nanocrystals can serve as model systems to explore schemes of cationic exchange, doping and alloying for engineering the electronic structure of double perovskites. In nanocrystals, quantum confinement effects can modify the electronic structure and resulting optical transition, increasing the absorption cross section and emission, properties important for optoelectronic devices. Lastly, the enlarged surface to volume ratio in nanocrystals adds a surface energy term that may enhance stability of metastable crystallographic phases. We review how nanocrystal can inform on phases that are inherently stable and study how facile exchange reactions can help make material compositions that are impossible to make in any other way. Finally, based on our recent synthetic experience we emphasize analogs and similarities between lead based and lead-free perovskite nanocrystals. We aim that our insight along with a summary of recent progress of this fast-growing field will help expand interest in lead free perovskites, towards a greener and brighter future.


What is Tripping My Circuit Breaker?
As seasons change, different parts of your electrical systems may see heavier workloads. With summer looming, homeowners may find they are making frequent trips to their basements to switch on tripped or flipped breakers. Generally, tripped breakers are caused by either overloaded circuits, shorts in wiring, or grounded wires.
Most of us have experienced the inconvenience of overloaded circuits. The microwave, toaster, and television are all working fine until someone begins blow drying their hair and everything goes dark. When this occurs, simply flip the breaker switch, and move the microwave or the blow dryer to a different circuit.
Faulty wiring associated with the HVAC unit.
Your HVAC system is too large or too small.
Other issues associated with your home's wiring.
The best practice is not to allow these issues to linger into summer. If your breakers are regularly tripped, it could be indicative of a short in your home's wiring.
When a "hot wire" touches another hot or neutral wire, this is called a short. If you suspect you have a shorted wire, examine the outlets associated with the tripped breaker. You may notice a burning smell or blackened outlet covers (though likely not as pronounced as the image above depicts). If this is the case, contact a professional, licensed electrician as soon as possible.
Similar to a short, a grounded wire is a hot ground wire that touches either its copper encasing or a metal box to which it's attached. As the temperatures heat up, HVAC units are likely culprits for ground faults, tripping breakers more often as their use becomes more frequent.
Electrical systems should be repaired immediately. If your home has shorts or grounded wires, it is at risk for fire. Furthermore, costs will only increase as repairs are delayed. If you suspect your system is experiencing one of these issues, contact a professional, licensed electrician as soon as possible.

The croft was abuzz with reacquainting and introductions. Tears were shed, hugs were given and finally there was quiet. King Kegan cleared his throat. "I have talked to my wife, Queen Sarmantha, and we've decided to stay here. We plan to renovate Castle Athdara to the way it once was, plus modernize it a bit, on the advice of Alroy, I mean Johnny. It will take time for us to get used to these new names." He smiled at nodded at the others.
"I'd love to go back and get some more of my books from the library. I think a few of the others would like to come too," Johnny said.
"I want to look at those books as much as you do, Johnny," Jason said.
An hour later five of the men disappeared through the time portal, going back to King Kegan's days and Jason followed a few moments later, going to Rolfin's.
Mairi was in charge of feeding everyone, even though she didn't ask for the job. With the help of Ackley, King Kegan's head cook and the other cooks, Carling and Locke, they managed to put together a few recipes that would feed a large crowd. She dragged them to the grocery shop, which was an exciting adventure for the three of them. They returned with bags full of food and went about preparing a stew in Angus's big pot. Rolls, bannocks, scones and other breads were stacked on plates. The hungry crowd polished off paper bowls full of the stew, leaving nothing in the bottom of the pot. They'd just finished when King Kegan and the others came back through the time portal.
"Put them down over here," Angus said, moving a few empty boxes out of the way. The men stacked the books and rubbed their sore arms.
"Jason, come and eat. I've saved you all some stew and bannocks," Mairi said. The others joined Jason for the meal she'd put aside.
"Tell us about your trip, Johnny. How did it go?" Mairi sat next to him while he ate.
Fiona looked around the room. King Kegan and his family sat huddled in a corner. They laughed and showered affection on their father. King Rolfin kept himself busy with his wives and children. Fiona snickered when she saw the jealousy between the woman and how they vied for the king's favor. The various servants of the kings gathered around Mairi, listening as she told them of the modern day appliances. When Mairi asked them to do all the cooking for her wedding, they were all flattered and delighted.
A rap came at the door. Callum, who stood next to it, opened it up. "It's the Chief Wizard, Nahimena," he announced.
A round of applause and cheers filled the croft.
"King Kegan, I've been told that you and your family wish to stay on here, in the 21st century and live in Castle Athdara. Is this true?" Nahimena gazed at the king and his family.
Everyone burst out laughing. Johnny swooped the girl up. "I'll tell you all about it later. Let's allow Nahimena to finish.
Mairi's eyes filled with tears. "Married in the castle? I'd love that. I want to stand under the stained glass window. I'd like King Rolfin to marry us, if that's all right?" She turned to the king.
Jack, Jacob, Jared, Jason, Jasper, Jeffrey, Jeremy, Jesse, Jimmy, Joacquin, Joseph and Julian pushed their way through the crowded room and gathered around Nahimena.
Jack stepped forward first. "I wish to stay here. I have no family in Burill. My family is here now with Mairi, Fiona, Elspet, Callum, Johnny, and Kegan and his wife and children." He stepped back.
"You got that from watching Ghost, didn't you?" Callum nudged Julian from behind. The man turned and winked.
"You have all been granted permission to live out your lives here. Rolfin, I understand you and your wives and children will be returning to Burill?" Nahimena leaned his arm on the mantle over the fireplace.
"Yes. I find it fascinating here, but I long to return to my people and my palace. I built that city from the ground. It is part of me and I am part of it." Rolfin gathered a few of his children around him.
"As you wish. After the wedding reception, you and your family will return to Burill with the orb. The time portal will be closed forever and Fiona, though this will break your heart, as of now you have lost your powers. There is no need for them ever again." The wizard stood straight.
"That's all right. It's a big responsibility having power. I look forward to being a kid again," Fiona said.
"All right. Enough of this mushy stuff. Let's go see the castle," Callum said.

Interim Security Clearances
Military.com | By Fema
An Interim Security clearance (also known as "Interim Security eligibility") is based on the completion of minimum investigative requirements and granted on a temporary basis, pending the completion of the full investigative requirements for the final secret clearance. Interim Security clearances can be issued quickly, but are not sufficient for access to special categories of classified information, such as COMSEC, NATO, and restricted data.
The Personnel Security Branch will automatically consider applicants/employees who will occupy a position designated as Non-Critical Sensitive or Critical Sensitive for an Interim Security Clearance. The Interim Security Clearance will be granted based on the favorable completion of the preliminary checks that are accomplished as part of the suitability and security clearance process.
Related: Search for Security Clearance jobs.
The following aspects of the Interim Security Clearance process are in effect.
A. Positions eligible for Interim Security considerations can only be designated National Security/ Non-Critical Sensitive or National Security/Critical Sensitive. The positions designation is located on the OF 8, which can be obtained from Human Capitol.
B. The applicant will also be required to complete and submit e-QIP for the proper level investigation prior to consideration for an Interim Security eligibility clearance.
C. The Office of Security will make a risk based determination when granting an Interim Security Clearance based on preliminary checks. When in doubt, the Office of Security will always side on the side of National Security.

Electrical rewiring: Your home may need to be rewired, either partially or fully, if electrical cicruits or power points need to be replaced. This is more common in old buildings and properties which were poorly wired during consutrction. Due to limited access, brick buildings tend to be costlier to rewire.
Safety switches: These protect you and your family from power surges, faulty appliances and damaged wiring (see electrical safety switches). The safety switch works by monitoring the flow of electricity through a circuit and trip when the electrical current escapes from the system.
Lighting: If you need lights installed or repaired in your home or commercial premises, a licensed electrician can help. Whether you have LED, track, fluorescene, neon, halogen or flood lights or would prefer downlights or garden lights, an electrician can help with installation and repair. See electrical lighting and electrical security lighting for more information about lighting options for your home.

Proper planning and consultation will ensure you have an electrical system that suits the layout and design of your new home.
Switchboards: These route electricity around a building and are designed to protect you from electrocution. Switchboards can also help to isolate faulty wiring and appliances. For more information see electrical switchboards.

Learning how to breath properly will make your bench press much stronger and also much safer.
Keep in mind these breathing techniques are more for bench press strength for about 5 reps or less. This breathing technique is not designed for 12+ reps. That is a different thing all together.
If your goal is to bench press heavy weights with 1-5 reps this is how I recommend it.
Make sure that you are taking air into your chest and diaphragm not into your belly. Some people do belly breath when benching, this is not wrong, but I prefer chest breathing.
There are advanced breathing techniques for when to breath out but that is another article and topic.
There are 3 ways to breath during a bench press.
1. Take big air into your chest from a big mouth breath.
3. Take big air into your mouth, then do a "top off" breath with your nose.
Taking big air into your chest will have numerous benefits.
Note: It's important to know that breathing this way will cause an increase in pressure and blood pressure. So please be aware that this is not for everyone, but if you want a stronger and safer bench press this works very well.
When you learn to breath properly you can get much stronger almost immediately.
Learn to get big air, create tension, and hold that tension and you will be much stronger.

Why Should Dr. Kay Perform My Neck Lift?
Is Neck Lift Surgery Right for You?
Women and men with sagging around the neck and jowls, excess fat under the chin or protruding neck bands can benefit from the redefining and tightening aspects of a neck lift. A neck lift in Washington DC can rejuvenate a patient's entire appearance by restoring sleek, youthful contours that may have fallen due to age, weight fluctuations or genetics.
Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stephen Kay is a specialist in facial rejuvenation, and has helped women and men from Washington D.C., the Bethesda-Chevy Chase metro area, and beyond improve their confidence and appearance with a neck lift. In addition to neck lift surgery, Dr. Kay offers a full range of cosmetic plastic surgery procedures and nonsurgical options for both face and body.
Please contact us online or call our Chevy Chase plastic surgery practice at 301-951-5120 for more information on neck lifts.
Dr. Kay's patients have the advantage of having him combine volumetric restoration to his neck lifts to achieve the most natural results.
The ideal candidate for a neck lift is in good general health and has realistic expectations about their results. Candidates for neck lifts can be almost any age, but typically have drooping skin around the neck and heaviness or sagging in the jowls, or have prominent neck bands.
Please visit our before and after photo gallery to see real patient results that are possible after a neck lift.
The costs of a neck lift will vary depending on the approach that Dr. Kay uses and whether any additional cosmetic procedures are performed at the same time. The total charges of a neck lift are inclusive of Dr. Kay's surgical fee, the use of the surgical facility, and anesthesiologist fees. Dr. Kay and his staff are also happy to discuss cosmetic surgery financing options that can help make your neck lift surgery even more affordable.
A neck lift is used to correct what is commonly referred to as "turkey neck," or drooping neck skin, but can also slim down excess fat under the chin and correct loose neck bands. Neck lift surgery can reduce or eliminate these issues for a more youthful look.
During your consultation, Dr. Kay will discuss your goals for neck lift surgery with you as well as any concerns you may have. He will also outline the details of the procedure and recovery so that you're fully informed about what to expect. For patients with excess pockets of fat under the chin, a neck lift with liposuction may be the best approach. Additionally, if you have concerns regarding signs of aging in your face as well as your neck, Dr. Kay may recommend a facelift or mini facelift instead of or in addition to a neck lift.
To begin your surgery, Dr. Kay will carefully place incisions as discreetly as possible behind the ears, or sometimes under the chin. The skin is then separated from the underlying tissue so that Dr. Kay can reposition the platysma muscle, the thin muscle that spans the front of the neck, to a more youthful position. Soft tissue and other muscles are adjusted as necessary, and the surface layer of skin is finally smoothed and tightened over the neck area. Dr. Kay may also include liposuction to slim down fatty deposits on the front of your neck.
Immediately following your neck lift surgery, you should be able to see an improvement in your neck area, though the results may be partially hidden by some swelling or bruising. When performed independently of a facelift, a neck lift requires little downtime, so you should be able to return to your normal routine within a week.
Following your neck lift surgery, your neck and jaw area should appear younger and better defined, with firmer skin and enhanced muscle definition. A more contoured jawline and smoother neck can give you a dramatically younger look so you feel revitalized without looking "done." You can learn more about a neck lift procedure here or by visiting Dr. Kay's page on RealSelf.

Home / Video / Ethereum (ETH) Constantinopole Hardfork Explained – What is it and what should you do?
Ethereum is a public, open-sourced blockchain platform that includes sensible contracts and its native cryptocurrency Ether. Launched on July 30, 2015, Ethereum is now the second greatest cryptocurrency by market cap behind Bitcoin and one which was a giant motive for the 2017 bull run.
A tough fork is when a single cryptocurrency splits in two. It happens when a cryptocurrency's present code is modified, leading to each an previous and new model.
The upcoming Constantinople arduous fork encompassses 5 separate Ethereum Enchancment Proposals (EIPs): EIP 145, EIP 1014, EIP 1052, EIP 1283, EIP 1234.
One other vital facet ofthis arduous fork is the truth that it reduces issuance of ETH by 33% from three ETH per block to 2 ETH per block that means much less ETH provide which may positively have an effect on worth.
Aside from that the majority updates are being the scenes preparation for the longer term and some minor enhancements that should make Ethereum higher.
The Constantinople Fork is set to go stay round 16th of Jan 2019 however for the reason that fork date is selected block quantity (7,080,000) it would possibly occur earlier than that or later.
Since this is a serious and vital fork all main exchanges and wallets should assist it so you in all probability do not need to do something however you can double test your trade/pockets simply to be protected.
In concept you will get new ETH and would possibly maintain the previous one relying the place you retailer (you want personal key) it however in apply the previous ETH won't be value something since no person will assist the community and you will not have the ability to promote it anyplace that means no 'free' cash.
From the angle of the common consumer the fork will not make any vital distinction for now and would not require any motion.
It is tough to foretell how the worth will likely be affected for the reason that market is unpredictable nevertheless the decreased provide should enhance the demand and the worth.
The fork additionally prepares the community for PoS which should be a serious enchancment for Ethereum. It additionally proves that growth for Ethereum is nonetheless energetic and future promising.
I personally factor Ethereum is oversold and is one of many strongest decisions now specifically if we have a look at the longer term. The value already recovered slightly bit however I imagine it's only the start.
Previous Ethereum, Tron & Whales Accumulating XRP!
I had a hard time trying to understand you. There is this echo fx from an empty room (walls) and also a poor mic.
A shame, cuz you have super interesting topics… Just give it a tiny bit more punch. Just a little.
Will Ledger support the new ETH?
Does that mean the etherium I am holding on my ether wallet is going to be no good? That it has to be replaced with the new one? How do I do that?
Do we need to do anything with our ETH that is not stored on exchanges and in MEW for example??
Always great to hear your calm voice dude. Happy New Year??

The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for habitats.
None Algae
None Coral
None Habitat
None Hardbottom
None Submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV)
None Upland
None Wetland
Biological information presented in this atlas was collected and compiled with the assistance of biologists from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and various other agencies, organizations, and groups. Information collected and depicted on the maps denotes the key biological resources that are most likely at risk in the event of an oil spill. Seven major categories, or ELEMENTs, of biological resources were considered during data compilation: birds; fish; invertebrates; habitats; marine mammals; terrestrial mammals and reptiles. The ELEMENTs generally correspond to the coverage or geographic data layer names. There are also six attribute or data tables, BIORES, BREED, SEASONAL, SOURCES, SPECIES, and STATUS, that are used to store the complex biological data. The biological polygons (HABITATS) are linked to the Biological Resources table (BIORES) using the unique ID and the lookup table BIO_LUT, or they can be linked directly using RARNUM. [The ID is a unique combination of the atlas number (for Virgin Islands this is 67), an element specific number (birds are layer 1, fish are layer 2, etc.) and a unique record number. The RARNUM represents a unique combination of species, seasonalities, concentrations, and source information. For each of these groupings, a number is generated. That number is concatenated with the atlas number to create a "resource at risk" number that is unique across atlases.] The items in BIORES include: RARNUM, SPECIES_ID, CONC, SEASON_ID, G_SOURCE, S_SOURCE, ELEMENT, EL_SPE, and EL_SPE_SEA. SPECIES_ID is the numeric identifier of each species and is unique within each ELEMENT. CONC is the concentration of the species and can be descriptive (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, etc.) or an actual count of the number of individuals or nests associated with a polygon or point. SEASON_ID contains a numeric identifier for the unique monthly presence and life history characteristics of each species at a given location. There can be one seasonality record per species, or the same species can have different monthly presence or breeding activities at different sites. When this occurs, a new record with a different SEASON_ID is referenced. G_SOURCE contains the SOURCE_ID for geographic information, and S_SOURCE contains the SOURCE_ID for seasonality information. Both items link to the SOURCES data table. EL_SPE is a concatenation of ELEMENT and SPECIES_ID and links to the SPECIES and STATUS data tables. EL_SPE_SEA is a concatenation of ELEMENT, SPECIES_ID, and SEASON_ID and links to the SEASONAL and BREED data tables. The SPECIES data table contains the SPECIES_ID (described above), common name (NAME), scientific name (GEN_SPEC), biological element (ELEMENT), biological subelement (SUBELEMENT), Natural Heritage Program global conservation status rank (NHP), date the list of NHP ranks was published (DATE_PUB), and EL_SPE. The item SUBELEMENT refers to the grouping of the species: (ELEMENT, subelement): HABITATS: algae, coral, hardbottom, submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV), upland, and wetland. The STATUS data table contains records for each species that is threatened or endangered on state or federal lists. The items include: ELEMENT, SPECIES_ID, STATE (two-letter state abbreviation, populated with "VI" for U.S. Virgin Islands), S_F [state (USVI territority) or federal (U.S.) listing], T_E (threatened or endangered status), DATE_PUB (publication date of the source used to assign T or E status), and EL_SPE. The SEASONAL data table indicates the presence of a particular species in a particular location by month (JAN-DEC). The BIORES table is linked to the SEASONAL table using the item EL_SPE_SEA (a concatenation of the first letter of the ELEMENT, SPECIES_ID, and SEASON_ID). The BREED data table contains the life stage or life history data for each unique combination of ELEMENT, SPECIES_ID, and SEASON_ID (or EL_SPE_SEA). It contains up to 12 records corresponding to each month of the year that the species is present in that location. The items BREED1-BREED5 will reflect different life activities, depending on the ELEMENT referenced. There are no BREED activities for HABITATS. The SOURCES data table contains metadata for each biological and human-use source listed in the ESI atlas. The items in SOURCES include: SOURCE_ID; ORIGINATOR (author); DATE_PUB (date of publication); TITLE (title of the data set); DATA_FORMAT (digital type, hardcopy maps, etc.); PUBLICATION (additional citation); SCALE (source scale denominator); and TIME_PERIOD (beginning and ending dates of original data collection). The SOURCES data table is linked to all biological data at the feature plus species-level and human-use data at the feature-level. Due to the complexity of the relational database model, the biological data items are also post-processed into a flat file format. This file is entitled BIOFILE and it may be used in place of the relational files to ease simple data queries. The items in the flat file are ELEMENT, SUBELEMENT, NAME, GEN_SPEC, S_F, T_E, NHP, DATE_PUB, CONC, JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC, BREED1, BREED2, BREED3, BREED4, BREED5, RARNUM, G_SOURCE, S_SOURCE, and BREED. All of these items are the same as their counterparts in the individual files described above, except the BREED1-BREED5 items. BREED is a newly generated variable used to link to the BREED_DT file, a modified, more compact version of the aforementioned BREED file. BREED1-BREED5 give a text summary of when each life stage occurs within that polygon. The life stages referred to are the same as those listed in the previous table. The link to the BIOFILE may be made through BIO_LUT using ID to link to RARNUM, or it may be linked directly to the RARNUM in each of the biology cover's attribute files. As mentioned, BREED_DT is an auxiliary support file to the flat file structure, which allows the user to do searches based on month for seasonal breeding activities. The link from the flat file to BREED_DT is the BREED item. A second supporting data file is SOURCES. This is the same as the source file described above, and the link from the flat file is both G_SOURCE and S_SOURCE. It should be noted that although the flat file eases data query, it is not a normalized database structure, and actual updates performed by the states and other responsible agencies should be done using the relational files.

Change and an Elder Parent:
High Anxiety in an Unfolding Odyssey
My mom was in her late 90s, and except for partial deafness, advanced neuropathy that makes mobility either impossible or a danger for her, and some declining ability in cognitive processing, she is remarkably healthy. She was even a long term cancer survivor, although the fear of a recurrence never left her.
Suddenly in June of 2016 the facility where she was living in a nice little apartment decided that she was no longer meeting the criteria for assisted living -- being able to dress herself, take care of her own bathroom needs, get herself up out of a chair on her own, and independently move around with a walker for up to 200-300 feet.
Someone recently said that basically the rule for assisted living in her state is that she had to be physically capable of exiting the building without help in case of fire. There is no way she could do this. She'd be confused, disoriented, and physically unable to get to a door. And she'd be inclined to wait to be rescued by someone in authority, as has always been her basic decision making style.
She'd been having more falls in the last 5 years or so, and thankfully had never broken a hip or ribs or anything. But due to the neuropathy, her legs just collapsed without warning and down she'd go, even when holding onto something for balance.
So one day out of the blue -- without notifying family in advance of any observations that this might have to happen -- the facility suddenly decided to transfer her over to a rehab unit that they operate for some intensive physical and occupational therapy to see if her capabilities could be improved.
Thus started an odyssey of mounting anxiety for mom, my brother and me, as well as for the woman who has been her main support in our absence. Looming over us was the unanswered question of whether she would be allowed to live again in her apartment. If not, what kind of permanent residential facilities did they have in this 24/7 nursing and rehab place. What would daily life be like for her now in a nursing home, with all its intrusions and medical milieu?
Anxiety started to mount from the implications of this change in her status quo.
When would the decision be made, based on what, and how soon would we be required to clean out the apartment and dispose of her furniture and treasured possessions collected over a long lifetime. My brother and I live on opposite sides of the country, with mom in the middle, so these questions rippled into the arrangements that needed to be made for us to get there.
With the transfer, communication with both sides of this facility became somewhat difficult, and when I called for status updates, I was refused information. Seems they couldn't find the HIPAA form that gave me permission to have any details. Outrage added to anxiety.
My brother spent the first week with her at the rehab place, his anxiety skyrocketing by the seeming unwillingness of the staff to give straight answers, and the cold, hospital-like atmosphere. Mom was crammed into a tiny double room and soon had a roommate suffering through end-of-life palliative care for cancer. All privacy for mom was now gone, and her ability to "entertain" friends who wanted to visit was severely limited, as there was literally no place for them to sit.
Not being able to socialize with her friends and feel even a little like the gracious hostess she used to be was devastating for her.
During the first week, PT and OT specialists reassured us that they were working hard to help mom return to her apartment. They were cheerful in their optimism while also being somewhat vague in providing us any details what would allow us to do some pro-active planning, just in case. My brother returned home, and I breathed a sigh of relief. At the end of the second week, a conference call again assured us that they hoped she would be returning.
But by the third week, the veneer of hope and pleasant interactions with nursing staff began to wear thin. Signs of disrespect began to accumulate, longer waits for response to call buttons, and scolding for asking for assistance became more frequent. Mom plunged into depression, affecting her energy and ability to make any progress with therapy. My brother and I became anxious again, and still the initial questions were never answered.
Mom had a friend she has employed for many years as a personal assistant, but when this odyssey started she was having a family crisis of her own and not on the scene for a couple weeks. By the time she got involved, she quickly determined that mom would have to be moved to another skilled nursing care residence. She enlisted the help of two other friends of mom's, and they scouted out possibilities. Within a week they had decided on a new place, and asked for John and I to consent to initiating a relocation process.
It's concerning to move a 97 year old person into a place you have never been to. Anxiety increased again, not the least of which propelled by the hasty decisions and actions taken that mom had not yet even been informed about. Thankfully they had a website, and I was able to speak at length to the CEO. He answered my questions fully and directly and I began to get a better feeling about forcing this change on mom.
Unlike the other 2 places where she has lived since moving out of the home I grew up in, this place had one room available immediately. A deposit had to be paid within 3 days. Mom still had not been told, and by now my brother was spending a week virtually unreachable in the Adirondacks. Good for him -- he needed the de-stressing time away.
That 3rd day was Friday. Mom was told and agreed to the move, but immediately started to worry a lot about moving all her things. She didn't understand or couldn't clearly hear the explanations that she would going to a one room accommodation, and wouldn't be able to take everything. Worse, it is unlikely that she will be able to return to the apartment to select what to keep and what to say goodbye to. Much of what she had reminds her of her life with dad, who died 18 before, and keeping them kept him alive for her, in a sense. More depression and anxiety build up.
Whirlwind change always whips up anxiety, and this time is no different. The deposit was made on Friday, and the move was scheduled for the following Monday. Everything was happening so fast, and we all hoped the outcome would be much better for mom, but while it was in process, there was a lot of anxiety for us all.
The best we could do was stay in close communication, remember to breathe, and each of us take care of ourselves in the ways we need to so that we can be receptive and supportive to each other.
And that's my long-winded message for you, dear reader. When in the midst of a fast-moving transition where many variables are unknown, or have unyielding timelines, or other unpleasant / difficult factors to negotiate, my advice for staying sane is to:
identify a central decision maker
stay in close communication with all stake-holders
demand the information you need
do everything you can to reassure your elder
anticipate your elder's sense of loss due to the memories attached to physical possessions
take photos of all the items that will have to find new homes so your elder has a visual record
assign tasks to each person who can be present to help, so that everyone who cares about your elder has a specific way to be involved if they want to be
be watchful for how the change can be celebrated with your elder in their new location

Today I am reviewing eight new e-liquids, sent to me free for review from Sharon and Flemming from LTecigs Shipley UK.
I will be using my Koopor 200w with my turbo v2 rda reading 0.5ohm with the advanced vaper in mind , and my nature vape tank with nature vape coil reading 1.4ohm on my istick for the newer vapers who have just started vaping for a healthier way of life, or for those who would like to make the transition from smoking to ecigs. Remember e-liquid flavours vary depending on the power, resistance and airflow of your chosen devices.
My opinion of the e-liquids I am reviewing today are my own, and will be my true and honest opinion as always. If I don't like an e-liquid I will say so. Taste is very subjective and what I dislike you might enjoy, and vice versa. Different setups give you different flavours at lower and higher temperatures, so please keep that in mind.
On opening the bottle, the aroma was very subtle and delicate. It was more of a candied fruit scent rather than a fresh fruit. It was a welcoming scent that I really liked. The aroma reminded me of juicy fruit chewing gum.
On the Inhale, there were slight undertones of banana with a strawberry/raspberry edge. The flavours flowed gently over my palate in a mouthwateringly manner. Smooth, refreshing and very delicate, but at the same time, packing a flavour punch to your tastebuds. It didn't taste the same as it's aroma, but juices rarely do. Totally the opposite, but still a very pleasing vape.
On the exhale, the flavour suddenly changed and I tasted hints of fresh pineapple on my palate. Smooth, clean and fresh with bags of flavour. On passing my lips I tasted slight hints of banana and strawberry. This juice would be more suited to a bright summers day. A glass of wine in one hand and bug juice in the other.
Summary:- There was no flavour description for this e-liquid except that it's a complex fruit mix. Bug Juice is a kid's soft drink. It is sold in several flavours. For example, there is Berry Raspberry, Leap'N Lem'N Ade, Straw' Nana, Outrageous Orange and Fruity Punch. This 'Bug Juice' tastes very fruity and I would say it's leaning towards the 'Straw' Nana. There are an array of different fruits in the inhale and it changes flavour again on the exhale. There were hints of strawberry, maybe some pineapple and banana. It was very difficult to tell if there had been other fruits added to the juice. It has a pleasant taste, and is very palatable. It's sweet but not overly sweet and very refreshing on the palate.
Throat hit - Good, what you would expect from a 6mg juice.
ADV - Yes, I would say it is an all day vape.
Final Thoughts - A very nice flavour. Refreshingly fruity. The flavours last for a moment after the exhale. If you like fruity based e-liquids I'm sure you will enjoy this one. My rda brought out the flavours well. A tad muted in my nature vape tank, but only to be expected, but still very enjoyable to vape. I found that vaping it at lower temperatures was best suited to this juice. Fruity vapes are better vaped cooler than at higher temperatures.
On opening the bottle, an earthy aroma arose from the bottle. Having tried Desert Ship tobacco in the past and it smelling almost pungent and sickly, this on the other hand was a pleasant surprise. It was one of the nicer smelling Camel tobaccos. There were slight hints of hazelnut coming through and chocolatey notes not experienced in others I had tried in the past.
On the Inhale, a rich nutty taste glided over my palate with a subtle quality. Velvety Smooth, rich, earthy and dulcet in a gentle manner . I could taste the mellow sweetness the juice provided, not unlike fresh figs or dates.
On the exhale, subtle creamy cocoa nuances of a delicate dark chocolate excited my tastebuds. Again, very smooth and subtle. An earthiness was in the background of the exhale which brought all those wonderful flavours together. The fruitiness of the figs and dates were at the forefront of the vape. They blended perfectly with one another, letting me hold the nuttiness on my palate for seconds after the exhale.
Summary:- An amazing tobacco vape. Rich and packed full of flavour. It has a clean taste with no ashiness. It has a natural sweetness but isn't overly sweet. There isn't any bitterness or acidic aftertaste. The sweetness rounds off the flavour perfectly. Desert Ship tobacco is a favourite amongst many vapers. If you enjoy your Desert Ship e-liquid you will definitely enjoy this blend.
Throat hit - Good and as you would expect from a 6mg juice.
Final Thoughts - A truly wonderful eastern delight. Tobacco e-liquids don't taste of the ashy taste we all remember from smoking cigarettes, but some do resemble them very well. This one is smooth, naturally sweet, without being cloying, earthy, nutty, and fruity. The aroma reminds me more of a good pipe tobacco scent my grandfather smoked. It spells out 'Luxury' and is an extremely smooth delectable vape.
On opening the bottle, the aroma was very light and hardly anything to talk about. I have never tried Latakia tobacco before, but what I understood Latakia to be was a very strong powerful tobacco which is normally reserved to blend with other tobacco flavours. I'm a lover of my tobacco vapes, which might I add, I buy from LTecigs. In the 4 years of vaping I've tried tobacco juices from around the world, which have been disappointing. Some good and some not so good. LTecigs on the other hand is where I buy all of my tobaccos because they are by far the best I have tried. I've tried most well known tobacco houses and always gone back to LTecigs. I didn't know what to expect with Latakia as it was somewhat lacking in aroma, to the point there wasn't one. I would say it was odourless.
For those of you who are Latakia tobacco fans, bear in mind that I've never smoked the tobacco before, so I can't really compare it to the real tobacco. I will however try my best to describe the e-liquid to you, and you can make your own decision whether you try it or not.
On the Inhale, it's very mild and certainly not what I knew Latakia to be like. It has a crisp but dry taste, a light woodiness, and it is surprisingly very good. I'm not sure what flavours I can taste, if any, but they are in no way potently strong or powerful. Instead I can taste a slight sweetness with very minimal flavour, maybe a very light virginia, but I could be wrong. This is a difficult one to try and describe. It is very smooth and refreshing with a character of it's own. It's in no way complex, just difficult to name the flavours.
On the exhale, again it is a very mild flavour, and I am really enjoying this one. It's grown on me tremendously since I started vaping it. Your taste buds are left with a mellow spiciness and the slightest hint of sweetness. A spirited flavour that can only be discerned by those who try it.
Summary:- An unusual but very satisfying vape. One I have grown to enjoy. I will definitely be buying more.
Final Thoughts - This is an e-liquid worth trying. However, if you enjoy complex, much stronger tobaccos then you probably wouldn't enjoy this one, but If you enjoy tobacco flavours that are extremely light, easy to vape, smooth, mellow, and one you can vape all day, then you are going to really enjoy this version of Latakia.
On opening the bottle, the wonderful aroma of a rich decadent dark chocolate fanned in the air. So good you would actually think you were holding a bar of it in your hand. The scent was strong, like a good raw cacao powder. Dark and luxurious, just waiting to be vaped. I couldn't wait to try this one. It was sublime to say the least.
On the Inhale, a beautifully warm, creamy, smooth, melted chocolate flavour coated my palate. It filled the whole of my mouth, soothing every part of my tastebuds with a dark and luxuriously rich Belgian Chocolate. Satisfying, sensual, smooth, rich, and tantalizing, this e-liquid had it all. It was semi-sweet and just the right amount of sweetness without being overly sickly sweet.
On the exhale, a soft, soothing, chocolate rolled over my palate and the flavour lingered for a few seconds on my palate afterwards.
Summary:- There isn't much to say about chocolate vapes. They are either good or bad. It's difficult to find a decent chocolate vape. This one falls into the good category. It's a very relaxing vape for after dinner or in front of the tv. Definitely not an all day vape for me as the flavour is quite rich but very pleasing when you want to chill out, and you fancy something sweet.
Final Thoughts - A sweet treat once or twice a day. A very decadent flavour that I'm sure all chocolate lovers will enjoy. I am a diabetic and this flavour fits the bill for me as I can't have the real thing. Another nice juice from LTecigs.
On opening the bottle, the aroma of sweet bramley apples and rich buttery pie crust wafted from the bottle. There were hints of vanilla, but the pie crust was the one that stood out the most. The scent was of hot freshly baked apple pie with lashings of vanilla custard and a slight hint of nutmeg.
On the Inhale, a beautifully smooth shortcrust pastry coated my palate. Very flavoursome and rich. There were spicy notes of nutmeg and a natural sweetness from the apples which left me salivating.
On the exhale, the vanilla was at the forefront. Not as creamy as vanilla custard as I had thought, by the aroma it first displayed, but a milky custard. Smooth and mellow, with the shortcrust pastry being the prominent flavour.
Summary:- Very rich and decadent with bags of flavour, making it a very pleasant vape for after a meal or cuddling up on the sofa watching a movie.
Vapour Production ............... Good for a 50/50 juice and it also depends on what setup you are using.
ADV - No not for me. On occasion I would vape this one as it's a rich juice. Might be an all day vape for dessert vapers who enjoy their all day custard vapes.
Final Thoughts - A very tasty Apple Pie & custard. It took an hour or so to get used to this one. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it at first, but after a few puffs I was hooked. If you enjoy your dessert vapes, give this one a try.
On opening the bottle, an array of fruits wafted in front of me. I couldn't tell what fruits were used in making the e-liquid, so it was down to guess work, as this had a very complex aroma.
On the Inhale, a swoosh of watermelon coated my palate. It was more of a fresh watermelon rather than a candied one. Smooth and refreshing, with creamy undertones, not of vanilla but of sweet cream.
On the exhale, again, a very smooth, light watermelon taste with hints of cream and a sweet finish.
Summary:- This is a very refreshing vape. I could be totally wrong with guessing the flavours, as I had to blind test this one, but it's one I would definitely buy again. An extremely enjoyable vape.
Final Thoughts - I really enjoyed this one. I had no flavour description to go by, but to me it tasted like watermelon with cream and maybe another fruity flavour, but unsure what that is, if any. It was very difficult to tell.
I will be reviewing these two e-liquids together as they are both within the same flavour profile.
On opening the bottles, I could smell the aroma of blue raspberry in both bottles. It's a flavour mostly everyone enjoys, and having it as an e-liquid is a big plus for some.
Slush Puppies, for me, as a child weren't something I took to, and it's not in my flavour profile for vaping either. I can only tell you what my thoughts are of the juice, and remember that taste is very subjective. What I dislike, you may love and vice versa.
On the Inhale, a crisp fruitiness flowed over my tastebuds, covering my palate with subtle notes of blue raspberry. To me both juices tasted exactly alike, but I felt that one was a tiny bit sweeter than the other. I'd say that 'AHL Slush' was the sweeter of the two and being only 6mg was more palatable to vape. The higher mg juices are all fine in tanks and clearomizers, but not for sub ohm vaping. Both had refreshing flavours and both were as equally pleasing.
On the exhale, the delicate flavour of blue raspberry rolled over my lips. I didn't have the flavour lingering in my mouth after exhale. It diminished fairly quickly.
Summary:- I wasn't keen on those two e-liquids. If you like these types of flavour, you will more than likely enjoy either one of them. These flavours aren't for me.
Would I buy this e-liquid ................ No, sadly it's not one for me.
ADV - Yes it could be for some.
Final Thoughts - Not an e-liquid I would try again, but if you enjoy those types of flavours, give them a go.
