Maajid Nawaz Left Speechless By Caller Who Was Abused And Drugged As A Child 'In Care'
18 May 2019, 16:07 | Updated: 18 May 2019, 16:23
Warning: This video contains details some people may find upsetting.
Maajid Nawaz was left speechless by this caller who relived a moment from his childhood where he was strapped to a bed and sedated whilst in the care of the state.
John told the LBC presenter how at 10-years-old he was taken into state care, and routinely restrained and drugged.
"I was taken into care because my parents were physically abusing me and whilst I was in a care home I was constantly running away," he started.
But describing the moment he was taken to a different facility, the caller started to become emotional.
"I was grabbed and I started to struggle, and they threw me on the floor and I was dragged into a side room.
"And then they started to pull down my trousers, and I didn't have a clue what was going on.
"I didn't know if they were going to rape me, I was crying my eyes out."
John then describes the moment he was injected and drugged with sedatives, before being strapped to a bed in a locked room and passing out.
"The majority of people here were not mentally ill, it was that they were difficult in the care system," he said.
Listen to his emotional story in full in the video above.
His story comes as two reports are expected to say that children with learning disabilities are being detained and subjected to chemical and physical restraints.
A report by the Care Quality Commission is expected to reveal children are being subjected to prolonged periods of seclusion and segregation in mental health wards.
Meanwhile a separate report by the Children's Commissioner is to say that in a single month last year 75 children were restrained more than 800 times.
Anne Longfield, the Children's Commissioner for England, said that almost 1,500 children in England are "locked up" in secure children's homes, Young Offender Institutions, and mental health wards.
Former Care Minister Norman Lamb told The Times newspaper that the situation was an "ongoing scandal", and that "serious child abuse is endemic in the system and the government is complicit in that child abuse."

(i) Describe the endosperm development in coconut.
(iii) Why is tender coconut considered a healthy source of nutrition?
(iii) How are pea seeds different from castor seeds with respect to endosperm?
(i) Describe the endosperm development in coconut.
(i) In coconut, endosperm formation is nuclear type. The primary endosperm nucleus undergoes nuclear division without cell wall formation.
(ii) Soft coconut is an endosperm. It is rich in nutrients like fats, proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, etc. Hence, it is considered as a healthy source of nutrition.
(iii) Depending upon the presence or absence of endosperm, the seeds having copious amounts of endosperm tissue are called albuminous seeds (e.g. wheat, maize, castor, coconut, sunflower, etc.) and seeds in which the endosperm is used ( up are non-albuminous (e.g. beans, pea and groundnut).
In some seeds, remains of nucellus are present, called as perisperm (e.g. in blackpepper and beet). The monocot and dicot seeds are named due to the number of cotyledons, a have seed. The major differences between monocot and dicot seeds are:

What is Paella?
Without any doubt one of Spain's most popular and well-loved culinary delights is Paella. A traditional rice-based dish cooked with seafood, chicken, meat or even vegetables. The most traditional Valencian paella is a mixture of meat, chicken or rabbit (or both), green and white beans and other vegetables, but seafood is also common, where you can find an array of seafood surprises among the flavor. These ingredients are cooked in a large saucepan over an open fire with olive oil and salt. Real Spanish paella, which refer to Valencia-style paella—eastern coastal Spanish city—is an altogether richer, darker, smokier creation, drier than a risotto, and arguably more satisfying than either. Try it at least one time when you travel to Spain.
Make your own:
- A recipe for seafood paella.
- A traditional chicken paella recipe.
- Try a black rice paella using squid ink.

NGOs feel heat of global meltdown
After families and businesses, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and charitable trusts are reeling under the impact of the global meltdown. City NGOs say funding has taken a beating, reports Bhavika Jain.india Updated: Mar 02, 2009, 01:13 IST
After families and businesses, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and charitable trusts are reeling under the impact of the global meltdown. City NGOs say funding has taken a beating.
"We run mobile crèches for construction workers' children. Hence, we are a service industry NGO where we need funds to continuously run the crèche," said Neeta Khajuria, general secretary, Mumbai Mobile Crèche. "The global meltdown has had an adverse effect with corporate and individual funding taking a sizable dip."
NGOs get their funding from four main resources — government, foreign funds, corporate houses and individuals.
Charitable events like the Mumbai Marathon also are an opportunity for NGOs to get sponsors. "Mumbai marathon is a good way to earn funds for the corpus," said Khajuria. "Last year, we earned Rs 32 lakh, but this year we managed only Rs 10 lakh."
Simantini Duru of NGO Avehi Abacus, which deals with unprivileged children's education, said, "Though the situation is not very bad so far, the crisis will get bigger in the coming months. If the worst happens, we will shell out money from our own pockets and make sure projects are not stalled."
"Previously, we organised charity shows to teach patients of depression how to deal with emotional crisis," said Freny Mahendra, director of the Samaritans group, which runs counselling centres for the mentally ill. "The shows would happen thanks to the money donated by well wishers. This year, it is not so. I guess in times of economic crisis, people are not charitable anymore."

We had some nice weather the last few days, pale reminders of this past summer, but it's turning cold and windy again, so I thought I'd start posting some photos of the Expo that I've got laying around on my computer. Hopefully, these shots will help recapture the fun that was the Expo and help me to feel the summer heat again, if only in my mind. Yeah, I know that it's quite a while after the fact, but perhaps you'll enjoy them anyway.
First up are some shots of a few of the exteriors of various country pavilions. I won't comment on these, since the countries are evident. These were all taken early on in the Expo, so there aren't any huge lines of people waiting to enter the pavilions. Later on I'll post some interior shots and some cultural performances. I was going to go to the Expo site today to take some new photos of the area, but the weather started becoming more winter-like sooner that the forecast predicted. I might still go down there, but then again I might just stay in my warm cave. More later.

The study highlights that a positive relationship between restatements and financial reporting quality depends on the reliable detection and disclosure of misstatements. Foreign firms are less likely to restate, a finding that has implications for investors and regulators. The results imply that U.S.-listed foreign firms may be under-scrutinized by U.S. public and private enforcement mechanisms. The findings suggest that companies from countries with weaker domestic rule of law are a potential focus area for investors and regulators to better identify firms with opportunistic restatement behavior. Fewer restatements lowers investors' ability to hold managers and auditors accountable for poor financial reporting through CEO turnover or securities litigation, since restatements are a major trigger for both these mechanisms.
Srinivasan, S., Wahid, A. S., & Yu, G. 2015. Admitting Mistakes: Home Country Effect on the Reliability of Restatement Reporting. Accounting Review 90 (3): 1201-1240.
Accounting rules in the U.S. require firms to issue a restatement correcting prior material errors upon discovery. Timely detection and reporting of accounting errors and irregularities ensure that a firm's reported financials are free of any misstatements. Without enforcement that ensures the prudent correction of existing misstatements, there will likely be systematic underreporting of restatements, which will allow "bad" type firms to pool with "good" type firms and possibly lower investors' faith in the reported financials. Therefore, understanding the determinants of reporting restatements is important to better assess the reliability of reported financials.
The authors use the large number of restatements in recent years by both U.S. and foreign firms listed in the U.S. to examine the reliability of restatement reporting in a cross country setting. The self-reported nature of restatements provides a good setting to assess how home country characteristics influence the financial reporting of foreign firms listed in the U.S. Further, since foreign firms are subject to the disclosure requirements set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), this setting allows the authors to examine the effect of home country characteristics on the financial reporting of foreign registrants while generally holding the extent of U.S. regulation constant. In particular, the authors examine whether restatement reporting varies by country-level factors that influence how firms comply with the restatement reporting rules.
The sample comprises 7,453 firm-year observations for U.S.-listed foreign firms from 51 countries between 2000 and 2010. The authors include both American Depository Receipts and firms directly listen on U.S. exchanges. To classify firms as foreign, the authors use Compustat to find the headquarters. The restatement sample is obtained from Audit Analytics.

New Premium Plus Drinks Upgrade - Thoughts?
klacey11 replied to Named-Tawny's topic in Norwegian Cruise LineWe got this option, too--to the tune of $278 per person. I cannot imagine how this could pay off, especially with lots of high-level brands included in the Premium plan. Even if my husband choses to have a few espressos and premium scotches, I cannot imagine that adding up to nearly $600 over 8 days.
I tried quoting everyone to thank but for some reason it's not working. Thank you so so much everyone for your help!! CC has been so much more helpful than my useless travel agent. I feel like some of my questions are so dumb, but cruising can be a little complicated to a first-timer! So I really appreciate all your assistance! I just purchased the unlimited package and assigned it to my husband, since I'm passenger #1. Thank you!!!
Oh no, really? I had thought I read on multiple threads that you could upgrade the 250 min perk to the unlimited once on board the ship (at the on-ship rate, which is more expensive than buying it through the app before the cruise)...
klacey11 started following First time cruiser — Bliss questions and WiFi for two devices?
WiFi for two devices?
klacey11 posted a topic in Norwegian Cruise LineMy husband and I are going on our first NCL cruise. We have the 250 minutes of WiFi from the free at sea promo, but we'd like unlimited WiFi. We'd likely being using the internet at the same time, so one package wouldn't work for us. I was thinking I'd purchase one internet package through my NCL portal at full pre-cruise price (i.e. cheaper than onboard), then once on board, activate the free 250 minutes and immediately upgrade that package to unlimited, thus now having two unlimited packages. Is there any reason this wouldn't work or any more cost-effective way to secure two unlimited WiFi packages? I've heard mixed things about WiFi and when the ship is in port--if we stay on the ship while the ship is in port, will the WiFi still work on the ship? Also, is the iConcierge app for communication still a thing? I couldn't find it in the App Store on my phone. Is there a different app to download for onboard the ship? I have the Norwegian Cruise Line app where I can favorite shows, it seems like i can book dining reservations in a few months, etc.
First time cruiser — Bliss questions
klacey11 replied to klacey11's topic in Norwegian Cruise LineGood to know about the Christmas decor! It's not something we find offensive, we just wouldn't really enjoy a dinner with over the top caroling or something like that haha. Families with children won't bother us! The cruise we're looking at actually leaves 12/20 so I do think it'll have slightly less children than the ones that leave the 28th. We're excited to try NCL! I didn't really think about how cold it'll be...mainland Florida obviously can greatly fluctuate in December, so I guess it would depend. We're pretty brave when it comes to cold water, though--so if the pools/slides were open we'd try them! When I said "pull out our wallets, so to speak" I really meant spend money onboard that hadn't been "spoken for" pre-cruise, not the physical act of pulling out money or swiping a key card. I really like the idea of pre-purchasing onboard credit and budgeting that way—that's a great idea that I knew nothing about. Thanks for the tip on reserving the karts and laser tag upon boarding! Aww man that's a bummer! We were hoping port time would mean short lines for the karts. We are considering the unlimited pass as it looks like something we'd really enjoy... We definitely may consider a speciality restaurant for a few nights, especially Christmas. Thank you all so much—this is all super helpful!!
First time cruiser — Bliss questions
klacey11 posted a topic in Norwegian Cruise LineHi there, My husband and I are considering a late December sailing on the Bliss out of NYC. We have zero interest in the ports, so the point of this trip would strictly be to enjoy Bliss's amenities and figure out if cruising is something we'd like to do in the future. We'd both be first timers. I do have a few questions though... 1. How much of the ship is "up and running" during port days? Would we be able to do the go karts and play laser tag? Water slides? Mini golf? What restaurants are open? 2. How much can we prepay for in advance/before we step on the ship? I think I saw where we can preorder cases of water for our stateroom. Can we also pre-pay for go kart tickets/unlimited go-kart pass? Spa treatments? My husband really likes an all-inclusive feel and I'd love for us not to take out our wallets, so to speak, during the week. 3. We do not celebrate Christmas—would there be anywhere on the ship we could go for meals and/or activities on Christmas Day that wouldn't feel overly...festive? I really appreciate all of your expertise and help with my questions!!

Overview of joint employment rule
DOL's proposed revisions
The US Department of Labour (DOL) has issued proposed revisions to the definition of 'joint employer' under the Fair Labour Standards Act. The revisions are an attempt to clarify the joint employer relationship as codified in 29 CFR § 791.2.
Overview of joint employment rule
The joint employment rule allows multiple employers to be responsible for paying hours worked by a shared employee under certain circumstances. Specifically, the rule provides that no joint employer relationship "exists if two or more employers for which one employee works" are "acting entirely independently" and are "completely disassociated" with respect to "the employment of a particular employee". In contrast, a joint employer relationship will exist if an employee performs work:
The result of a determination of joint employer status is that "all of the employee's work for all the joint employers during the workweek is considered as one employment for the purposes of the Act".
The problem with this formulation, which has been the law for more than 60 years, is that inconsistent precedent has grown out of different applications of different standards in different jurisdictions. For example, courts in the Second Circuit have applied a 10-factor test,(1) while the Fourth Circuit has used a four-factor test.(2)
In August 2016 the landscape became even more uncertain when the National Labour Relations Board (NLRB) ruled that a Californian employer (Browning-Ferris Industries) and its temporary staffing agency were joint employers. In so doing, the NLRB focused on indirect control rather than direct control. However, in December 2017 the NLRB shifted gears again, overruling the indirect control approach.(3) Further complicating matters, in February 2019 the Browning-Ferris approach was restored as precedent after the Hy-Brand ruling was vacated following the discovery of a board member's conflict of interest.
To address the prevailing uncertainties, the DOL has now distinguished between the following two scenarios:
For the first scenario, the DOL proposes to apply a 'not completely disassociated' test. For the second scenario, the DOL proposes to weigh four factors – specifically, which of the employers:
When balancing these factors, the DOL will:
The DOL's proposed revisions remain open to public comment through 10 June 2019.

Welwyn Garden City back in the winning groove with Hertford success
PUBLISHED: 17:42 25 August 2019 | UPDATED: 17:42 25 August 2019
Welwyn Garden City made sure of their spot in the end of season play-offs as they found the winning touch again at home to Hertford.
They still harbour slim hopes of finishing top of the Herts Cricket League Premier Division but they are still 26 points behind Radlett.
However, after five games without a win the success was much needed and still keeps them in the hunt for a home semi-final place.
Matthew Grant set WGC on their way second five-wicket haul of the season, and making it 32 wickets this term, before Owais Shah gave another batting masterclass, as he fell just four runs short of this third century of the season.
Hertford had won the toss and chose to bat on what looked like a perfect batting track and the plan got off to a good start with 72 in the opening 14 overs.
Jamie Riddle was the dominant partner, scoring a run-a-ball 50 before he fell for 51 courtesy of a good diving catch from skipper Andy Nolan off a Simon Bridgewater delivery.
And the spinner struck with the very next ball too to remove Richard Leather before William Ray and Ian Harris put on 57 for the third wicket.
Ray was eventually caught and bowled by Jamie Southgate for 49 while Harris fell for 37 to Shah.
From there Grant took over and from 160-4 Hertford were all out for 202 in the 49th over, Grant finishing with figures of 5-30.
Shah's return after a two-game absence was a blessed relief but any hopes Welwyn had of chasing down an under-par total with ease were quickly doused by the visitors.
The hostile pace of James Leather together with the accuracy of Andrew Knight saw Louis Champion, Dan Blacktopp and Southgate all removed with just 31 runs scored.
Jamie Hewitt provided some support to Shah but he fell for 14 to leave Welwyn in trouble on 68-4.
But in came the skipper to play his best innings of the season.
With an aggressive brand of cricket, he began to drive the ball to all parts of the ground to keep pace with Shah.
And together they put on an unbeaten partnership of 140 in just 20 overs, winning the game with more than 17 overs remaining.
Shah finished on 96 not out, scored off the same number of balls with 12 fours and four maximums in among the score.
Nolan meanwhile got to 69, slightly quicker as he faced just 63 balls but with 58 of them scored via boundaries.
Leather was Hertford's best bowler with 2-48.
Next up for WGC is a home game against already-relegated Bishop's Stortford before travelling to West Herts on the final day.

Website: sitata.com
Category: Travel & Tourism – Safety and Security
Location: Canada
A platform for global health and safety became ready to support Japan after establishing very strong market indicators. Sitata proved its value by detecting COVID-19 on December 30th and warning travellers on January 2nd, 2020. As a result, Sitata has established multiple opportunities to work with large corporations in Japan.
Of the 1.2 billion international travellers each year, 20% seek assistance when abroad. This is a massive number of people that need help in an unfamiliar environment. Sitata keeps travellers safe by providing them with real-time health and safety information and connecting them to assistance when they need it. Our web platform and mobile app collects traveller's itineraries and provides them with all necessary, pre-trip health and safety information for their destinations including vaccination recommendations, emergency numbers, hospital locations, and safety advice.
What does Sitata do?
Of the 1.2 billion international travellers, more than 240 million seek help when abroad, but less than 20% phone for help. The truth is, mobile technology is failing to prevent travel mishaps and there's little support for when they do happen. Sitata is your travel companion for worry-free travels. We use software to monitor the world for travel disruptions and we notify you on the ground in near real-time for everything from flight delays to violence. Our chat-based assistance provides help at the push of a button, including video consultations with travel medicine specialists. Sitata sells its services to corporations to keep their employees safe and as a subscription to holiday travellers.
How did you/the founders come up with the idea?
Sitata was actually a combination of experiences. First, unfortunately, I have had some bad travel encounters in the past: everything from violent protests to just simply getting terrible food poisoning. Every time, I was struggling to get the convenient help I was looking for. On the other hand, Sitata was also born out of my father's ambition to help prevent the spread of disease around the world. He retired as Canada's first Director-General of Emergency Preparedness and was responsible for creating the world's first automated, digital disease detection system (GPHIN) which was accredited for the early detection of SARS. To create Sitata, we took his learnings from GPHIN, introduced modern algorithms, and expanded the scope from disease detection to anything that will disrupt travels.
Could you tell us a bit about you and your team?
Sitata's founders are Ronald and Adam St. John. Ron graduated from Yale, Colombia and Harvard and spent more than 30 years in the world of public health. He has consulted with WHO, CDC and the public health departments of several federal governments around the world. Adam graduated from Queen's University in Canada in mechanical engineering, completed a masters degree in Engineering Science, and has more than 22 years of software experience. He brought the original technical expertise to the company but now focuses on business development and company strategy. We also have a team of software developers and business development associates. In addition, we have a content analysis team reviewing potential travel disrupting events around the clock before publishing them to travellers around the world. Our advisory board consists of experts with travel, public health, and insurance industry experience.
What are the other alternatives to Sitata?
There are some legacy competitors that have focused solely on corporate travel risk consulting and assistance services. In general, they struggle with their technology offerings, are private membership only, and can be extremely expensive. In contrast, Sitata is a technology leader and our pricing is competitive. In addition, anyone, be it a corporate or holiday traveller, can register and use our service. Lastly, we were the first among them to provide in-app telemedicine support within our platform so that travellers can be quickly connected to a medical expert.
Who is your target customer?
We resonate loudly with corporate travel managers that wish to keep their staff and colleagues safe at home and abroad. That said, we have a substantial user base of individuals that use us for their holiday travels – often as a complement to their travel insurance or as a good tool for those that don't believe in travel insurance.
How does your product make a difference to the industry?
We have led the industry in early warnings and travel safety for both corporate and holiday travellers. We were also the first to bundle our services with other providers in a B2B2C model through our API and mobile Software Development Kits. We also set an industry first when we supported a traveller in Indonesia with a medical issue without having to make a single phone call.
What are the milestones for Sitata?
Today, we have a very rich product for end-to-end travel safety and have deployed our services with travel insurers in the United States and Europe. We're Techstars graduates and soon to be Startupbootcamp Scale Osaka graduates. Our near-term goal in Japan is to secure corporate partnerships to bring our services to this market. Ultimately, we wish to increase the usage of our platform so that one day every traveller will have Sitata in their pocket when they leave their home.
Why did you start targeting Japan?
Japan is a very important part of the travel ecosystem in the Asia Pacific and has a global footprint in world trade. Japan is also seen as a leader in technology and its products and services are known to be of ultra-high quality. We know that if we can survive in Japan, then we will be a very strong global organization.
Rainmaking Innovation Japan (RMIJ) is an entity owned and operated by the Rainmaking Innovation group in Japan. Currently RMIJ operates the Startupbootcamp Scale Osaka program with corporate partners Hankyu Corporation, JR West Innovations, Dentsu, The Yomiuri Shimbun, SMBC, JT Group and Sakura Internet.
Rainmaking's purpose is to help individuals, companies and societies solve big challenges by unleashing the power of entrepreneurship. We utilise our team of experts, global network and local team on the ground to bring value to Japanese corporations.

Living in the 21st century comes with many benefits. This is the age of convenience, where humankind as a species has advanced itself to the forefront of a technological empire and keeps on creating new and easier ways for people to live their lives and deal with their issues. One such invention that was created prior to the 21st century but which has brought about much convenience presently is the internet.
This is true for many different reasons but one reason that stands out, in particular, is the fact that the internet has begun to be used by people all over the world for their shopping habits. This form of shopping for goods and services over the internet has come to be known as e-commerce and it has revolutionized the ease and convenience of shopping for many different people.
A large group of men that can attest to the above statement are those men that are affected by the common male sexual dysfunction known as erectile dysfunction or ED for short. This prevalent disorder is only gaining in number of men affected by it. ED is often defined as the inability in a man to procure an erection that is suitable for pleasuring himself or another human being through sexual intercourse.
That is where the internet comes into play. Most men are embarrassed to seek anti-ED treatments such as Silagra tablets the traditional way as it means exposing their innermost and highly sensitive issues to strangers such as doctors and then pharmacists. Using the avenue of e-commerce, men are now able to buy Silagra tablets online in an all-new convenient, anonymous and affordable manner.
When men come online, they are initially dubious about how easy it is to buy Silagra tablets and other anti-ED medications. But if you simply go onto website reviewing platforms such as Trust Pilot these men will see how many other men have regained satisfactory sex lives after using Silagra tablets which they purchased online from the leading online pharmacies who stock these effective generics.
When it was first created in 1997, Viagra was the first oral form of treatment for men suffering from ED. Since then, and since its patent expired, many other brilliant forms of Viagra have been released in generic form. One such medication is Silagra tablets. Many millions of men who suffer from ED are opting to buy Silagra tablets due to their likeness to Viagra yet far cheaper cost.
The reason so many men are choosing to opt to buy Silagra tablets is because of their medical likeness to Viagra. Exactly like Viagra, Silagra contains 100 mg of the active ingredient known as sildenafil citrate which is highly efficient at treating the symptoms of ED. When men use Silagra tablets, it is the sildenafil citrate in them that goes about helping their penis become restored to full working capacity.
Sildenafil does this by acting as a vasodilator (a medical term for something that broadens the blood vessels). When men buy Silagra tablets and use them, their blood vessels in their soft muscle tissue in the penis can once again get the necessary amounts of blood in them needed to produce a robust and long-lasting erection.
If you are tired of your impotence standing in the way of you and your former sexual glory, come to our highly reputable online pharmacy to buy outstanding generic medicines at very affordable prices. Buy Silagra tablets today and receive them within a few short working days in both the EU and the UK.

Veterans saluted for great service
A group of veterans from Marshall County were honored for especially meritorious military service at National Vietnam Veterans Day ceremonies in Byhalia March 29.
It was exactly 44 years ago on March 29, 1973, when the last of the American troops withdrew from Vietnam during President Richard Nixon's administration.
Many Vietnam veterans returned home to face degrading public conduct because the war was so unpopular. The unsuccessful turnout of the war was sometimes blamed on Vietnam veterans.
However, in an attempt to honor those who served in Vietnam, Congress passed the Vietnam War Recognitions Act (S.305). The bipartisan bill was approved by the Senate on February 8 and by the House on March 21. President Donald Trump signed the bill on Tuesday, March 28, and the first celebration took place Wednesday March 29, 2017.
Retired Marine Bill Fitts, who helped conduct the program, said he returned to California after his first tour of Vietnam in 1965, and was called a baby killer and rapist when he entered the airport in California.
Other veterans had balloons filled with red ink thrown at them, he said.
Fitts called it "a dark part in our history."
After two tours, Fitts returned and said veterans were overlooked too long. Some were drafted and had no choice but to go to Vietnam, he said.
"Celes Tucker is doing a great job as our veterans service officer," he said. "She's well qualified. The VA is slow. Go see what services they have."
Two honorees were honored posthumously.
The ceremony was held in the Community Building in Byhalia, with elected officials presiding, including members of the Marshall County Board of Supervisors and Town of Byhalia. Also assisting was Ray Gallagher and pastor Gary Adams and Col. Bill Fitts.
Supervisor Keith Taylor, who helped organize the event, was unable to attend due to illness.
Retired U.S Army Col. Roy Ray was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action, for heroic action in a battle in Vietnam. During the search and destroy operation, his unit came under intense mortar and automatic weapon fire and he was wounded in the leg and chest. While his unit was pinned down, Ray directed helicopter gunships and a reinforcing Vietnamese cavalry troop. Ray received many awards, including the Silver Star (the third highest award), the Bronze Star, the Oak Leaf Bronze Cluster, the Letter V Device and the Purple Heart.
Ray served 29 years and was also a paratrooper.
Ray said servicemen and servicewomen serve on a team and the families and communities who support them are a part of the team, as well.
"I accept this recognition on behalf of these teams, absent and present, both on the battlefield and at home," he said.
His service didn't stop when he came home. He most recently is helping lead the Rotary Club's Family Youth Initiative.
The late Tuskegee Airman, Levi Smith, served in World War II with the U.S. Army. Smith received the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor in 2007, the highest award Congress can give. Over 1,000 Tuskegee Airmen were trained as an all-black unit of pilots that served in Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean. They protected bomber groups and it is said fought two wars, winning World War II but not completely winning the battle of prejudice and discrimination back home.
His widow, Nellie Smith, said her husband was proud to be a pilot in the Tuskegee Airmen and he was proud to have served his country.
The late John Byrd Going Jr. was honored for service in the U.S. Army in World War II, from December 4, 1941, until October 29, 1945. He fought in the battles of Normandy, in Northern France, the Rhineland, and Central Europe. He received the Purple Heart for wounds received November 30, 1944, and the Bronze Star for Good Conduct. He distinguished himself in combat and was wounded during the process.
"He was a good soldier and a good man," said his wife Waurene Going.
Vietnam War U.S. Army Veteran Elbridge Eugene Skelton, Pvt. 1st Class, distinguished himself for heroism when his unit came under intense small arms, automatic weapons and anti-tank rocket fire from a North Vietnamese Division. Skelton received severe fragmentation wounds on his face and hands, but refused medical evacuation directing suppressive fire upon the enemy.
Skelton was evacuated after his vehicle was hit by an anti-tank rocket.
For his valor, Skelton was presented the Bronze Star and Letter V Device and the Purple Heart.
Ralph Billy Dowell served in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968. His last assignment was with Company B, First of the 327th Airborne Battalion in the 101st Division. He was awarded the Bronze Star, the Vietnam Campaign Medal and the Army Commendation and other decorations.
Sgt. Dowell, who referred to himself "a Yankee from Connecticut," now lives with his wife Linda Faye in Marshall County.
Sgt. Eddie Frank Jones served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam from January 1970 to November 1970. He faced military operations against an armed hostile force. He received the Bronze Star for outstanding service over 11 months and for his initiative, integrity and exemplary devotion to duty in keeping with the highest traditions of military service, bringing credit upon himself and his unit and the U.S. Army.
Henry Harol Ash fought with the U.S. Army in Vietnam from 1967 to 1969. He was awarded the Purple Heart for wounds he received during combat operations. Ash also was awarded the Vietnam Service Medal, the Army Commendation Medal and other awards and decorations. He was a sharp shooter with the M-14 rifle and expert marksman with the M-16 rifle.
Donal Coy Bishop served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam from 1967 to 1969. He fought with the 169th Engineering Battalion and was awarded the Purple Heart, the National Defense Service Medal and other decorations. He was expert with the M-14 rifle.
Franklin Delano Phillips served in the U.S. Army in Vietnam from 1967 to 1970. His last assignment was with the 5th U.S. Army. Phillips was awarded the Purple Heart, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, the Parachutist Badge and earned the Combat Infantryman's Badge for his mastery of infantry skills, including expert use of the M-16 rifle.
Celes Tucker, with the Marshall County Veterans Service Office, worked tirelessly to obtain the shadow boxes and medals for this celebration to arrange this ceremony honoring veterans and their families.
Special thanks was given to U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran who provided the replacement medals, and to U.S. Rep. Trent Kelley who obtained flags to go in some of the shadow boxes through the "The Flags Over the Capitol Program."

The Following is from New Left Media and to appreciate what is being said you have to watch the video below. It is simply unbelievable and scary to think how misinformed and ignorant some people are:
On November 20, 2009, Sarah Palin visited Columbus, OH as part of her book signing tour for "Going Rogue." When her supporters were asked broad questions about why they why they thought she should be president, the responses were vague: She's "real." She'll "stick up for America."
It has been said in comments that we would find similarly talking point-driven, substance-less supporters at an Obama rally, and we agree. But no politician has emerged on the national stage as undefined and unqualified as Sarah Palin, and her public persona–which is anti-intellectual by definition–discourages substance. Instead, we get winking. One could hardly imagine her giving a complex speech about race in America, or speaking eloquently about our country's relations with Islam. Not just because she couldn't write such a speech (Obama has speech-writers, of course) but because she wouldn't–such necessarily academic discussion is antithetical to the persona she's created for herself and that her supporters have come to love.
As for accusations of cherry picking, which are commonly thrown at interview-based videos, it simply isn't what we did. We interviewed only a few more people than ended up in the video, not hundreds, and what was cut was done for time purposes. The people were selected at random–some offered to be interviewed–and we were only there for about 90 mins (it gets dark early and fast in Ohio right now). What didn't make it into the video was just more footage of people talking generically or about taxes/spending, drilling, and abortion, and we constructed blocks in the piece to represent those issues. Of course the piece was edited to be entertaining (this is YouTube, after all, where the currency is cat videos) but we don't believe we misrepresented the attitudes of the people at that signing in any way.

A few weeks ago I had a phone call, asking if I would be interested in testing a new recipe for the Catherine Sponge. The Catherine Sponge by the way, is the Victoria Sponge of the 21st Century. It features some of Kate Middleton's favourite foods, including marshmallows, passion fruit and Champagne. The original recipe I was asked to test was based on two layers of traditional sponge, sandwiching a giant marshmallow, flavoured with passion fruit and Champagne. The first test of the recipe yielded what can only be described as a creature in a Dr. Who episode. (Think Adipose but with passion fruit seeds added for extra creepy measure). I was still trying to wipe all the goop off the walls at 2 am.
I spoke to the PR agency the next morning and managed to get a bit more information on the project. It seems that one of Kate's most memorable cakes is of a bunny rabbit cake covered in marshmallow frosting when she was 7 years old (or 5, I can't exactly remember the dates). So with their approval we decided to start afresh. I consulted some of my cookbooks and came up with a recipe for Seven Minute Frosting. This is a very popular type of frosting used in the United States and it sometimes uses marshmallow for extra gooey effect. Within a short space of time I had a good first attempt at the filling. A soft billowy, cream like filling, flavoured with passion fruit and a hint of Champagne, was achieved in only 5 attempts!
Then on to the cake itself. A few conversations later it turns out that the direct descendent of The Duchess of Bedford, the original creator of the Victoria Sponge would be attending the photo shoot in a few days time. Julia Speare-Cole is the great, great, great niece of The Duchess of Bedford and she lives in London where she is an Osteopath. At her request, as her husband is very sensitive to wheat, Julia asked if the recipe could be made gluten free. Well imagine my delight not only to be involved in the makeover, but also to have the opportunity of making this very special cake gluten free.
I adapted a traditional Victoria sponge recipe by incorporating ground almonds and using gluten free flour. I then decided to add a slightly tangy passion fruit curd to balance out the richness of the cake and replace the traditional jam filling. Sandwiched in between the two layers, sat a rather delicate and light creamy marshmallow filling. A few of the neighbors were asked for their comments and judging by the speed with which the cake was devoured, it was decided that it was definately worthy of our soon to be Princess.
The filming of the cake took place the following day. Brian Turner fronted the recipe along with Julia Speare-Cole. I was in the background furiously baking cakes, whipping up fillings and getting all the ingredients together for the filming whilst shouting out instructions. Brian was charming and gorgeous, even though he treated my carefully made sponges in a very cavalier way I had visions of the cakes lying in pieces all over the floor. Luckily, this didn't happen and the sponges were robust enough. It turns out that Brian is not a cake man, and he says he never eats the stuff, but he did seem to like the Catherine Sponge a lot! Perhaps he was just hungry. Who knows? To see the video follow the link www.stoves.co.uk/news/catherinesponge.
You will find the recipe listed in the recipe section. http://www.glutenfree4kids.com/?q=content/catherine-sponge

Climate change and residential electricity consumption in the Yangtze River Delta, China
Edited by Maximilian Auffhammer, University of California, Berkeley, CA, and accepted by Editorial Board Member B. L. Turner November 15, 2018 (received for review March 29, 2018)
Estimating the impacts of climate change is essential for analysis of both mitigation and adaptation policies. Our principal finding, that annual electricity consumption increases by 9.2% per +1 °C in annual global mean surface temperature (GMST) in the Yangtze River Delta, represents one of the few estimates of impacts outside Western countries. This estimate can contribute to analyses of global mitigation efforts, helping to determine what level of emissions best balances costs and benefits. We note that energy consumption is often one of the larger categories of monetized climate change impacts. We also estimate that annual peak electricity use increases by 36.1% per +1 °C in annual GMST, assisting planning efforts for additional grid capacity that will be needed in the future.
Estimating the impact of climate change on energy use across the globe is essential for analysis of both mitigation and adaptation policies. Yet existing empirical estimates are concentrated in Western countries, especially the United States. We use daily data on household electricity consumption to estimate how electricity consumption would change in Shanghai in the context of climate change. For colder days <7 °C, a 1 °C increase in daily temperature reduces electricity consumption by 2.8%. On warm days >25 °C, a 1 °C increase in daily temperatures leads to a 14.5% increase in electricity consumption. As income increases, households' weather sensitivity remains the same for hotter days in the summer but increases during the winter. We use this estimated behavior in conjunction with a collection of downscaled global climate models (GCMs) to construct a relationship between future annual global mean surface temperature (GMST) changes and annual residential electricity consumption. We find that annual electricity consumption increases by 9.2% per +1 °C in annual GMST. In comparison, annual peak electricity use increases by as much as 36.1% per +1 °C in annual GMST. Although most accurate for Shanghai, our findings could be most credibly extended to the urban areas in the Yangtze River Delta, covering roughly one-fifth of China's urban population and one-fourth of the gross domestic product.

Illustrative Examples of Fixed Fees for the Recovery of a Business to Business Debt That is Undisputed
Court Claims
These costs apply where your claim is in relation to two unpaid invoices which are not disputed and enforcement action is not needed, following our entry of a County Court Judgment and payment secured. If the other party raises a genuine/significant dispute to your claim at any point, we will discuss any further work required and provide you with revised advice about costs if necessary. This may involve continuing under our fixed fees formula, or at an hourly rate if more extensive work is needed.
Anyone wishing to proceed with a claim should note that:
- The VAT element of our fee cannot be reclaimed from your debtor.
- Interest and compensation may take the debt into a higher banding, with a higher cost.
- The costs quoted above are not for matters where enforcement action, such as a bailiff or High Court Enforcement Officer is needed to collect your debt.
Our fee includes:
- Taking your instructions and reviewing documentation
- Undertaking appropriate searches
- Sending a letter before action
- Receiving payment and sending onto you, or if the debt is not paid, drafting and issuing court claim
- Where no Acknowledgment of Service or Defence is received, applying to the court to enter Judgement in default
- When Judgement in default in received, write to the other side to request payment
- Accounting to you if payment is received, or providing you with advice on next steps and likely costs
In a Business to Business debt matters usually take 5-8 weeks from receipt of instructions from you to receipt of payment from the other side, upon the entry of judgment. This range will depend on whether or not it is necessary to issue a claim. This is on the basis that the other side pays promptly on receipt of Judgement in default. If enforcement action is needed, the matter will take longer to resolve depending on the enforcement routes taken, the defendants reaction to them and the inter-action with the court office.

IOW, I saw my fellow gamers with rose colored glasses
Yup, pretty much this. I still generally do.
IOW, I saw my fellow gamers with rose colored glasses
I'll grant you the last point, but really, use of "terrorism" seems a bit of fear mongering. I don't see how it is useful, either in the original,linked article, or here in discussion. We can get by with simply remarking that threats of violence, or actual violence, or actions intended to cause duress (shouting, lewd remarks, &etc) are sufficient to bring in trained security personnel, e.g., police or guards. I don't think that most untrained people should handle such circumstances, except to immediately mediate if possible. In case of an already committed act, I'd try to help, but really I don't think I'd be the right person to provide council to an assault victim.
But I'm not convinced that felony behavior is a greater concern in gaming activities. Consider the example from the linked article -- being slipped a drug and being raped. The circumstance was more akin to an underage woman going to an off campus mixer. That seems a very dangerous environment. And if the up thread discussion is a guide, it was a friend that committed the assault. I don't see the very terrible outcome being gaming specific.
Where there seems more to discuss is the more nuanced issue of "soft" harassment: An in game rape scene. Unwanted attention. General verbal harassment. These are matters which are more within the purview of a typical gamer, and coachable behavior.

So, it's a problem. What do we do?
- Ask store owners to post & enforce no harassment policies? Don't shop at stores that don't comply?
- Ask cons to post & enforce no harassment policies? Ask for video monitoring of all public spaces? Refuse to attend if they don't?
- Create & wear no harassment t-shirts?
- What about publishers?
- Online stores?
- Make a no harassment statement at the start of any public game that you GM? Ask your GM to do the same?
- "Man up" and intercede the next time someone steps out of line?
Threats such as those were illegal long before 'terroristic' became a buzzword. But we aren't entirely talking about just death threats, battery threats (technically, a threat is already assault, so...), or rape threats, are we? And the incidence of those is far, far lower than the incidence of harassment. The scope there shows that the word is being too broadly applied.And IMHO- as well as others who have posted in this thread- the threats of rape, assault and death DO rise to the level of terrorism as designated by the writer in the title of the blog post that was the catalyst for this thread.
If I understand your point, then the pushback should be against any kind of stereotyping or harassment. I'm pretty vehement about not tolerating harassment of anyone. I'm also very willing to admit that women are far more likely to suffer harassment than other groups (in gaming, and often in other venues), and that the reason for that is largely systemic and embedded in the group dynamics of the culture (in gaming, and in other venues). HOWEVER, that recognition and acceptance in no way means that I need to turn a blind eye to stereotyping others in pursuit of the goal of reducing harassment. It does mean that the level of acknowledgement is much less -- I won't be taking any concrete actions to stop people from using such stereotypes outside of saying that their unnecessary and counterproductive. I have and do take far more concrete steps to reduce harassment of women.It is also a rhetorical sticking point for pushback.
I suppose I've never had this problem. Maybe because I wasn't a social outcast, and I wasn't bullied by none gamers. In fact, the most bullying I've ever personally suffered has been at the hands of gamers (not that I particularly cared, but they tried). To me, people are people no matter where you are. And people have a tremendous capacity to suck. And be fantastic. So I don't wear rose colored glasses about groups of people being more noble or better behaved that other groups. At best, I expect them to be people.Actually, I agree that the terroristic behavior alleged isn't a "greater concern" for our hobby, but I disagree that we don't need to talk about it. I had ZERO idea that fellow gamers threatened women in such a relentless way until GamerGate. And as I stated, I have faced very little overt racism in the hobby. I had this image of this hobby as a bit of an oasis.
IOW, I saw my fellow gamers with rose colored glasses
Probably not to the immediate perspective of the woman being harassed, no.Well, I guess it kind of boils down to why the harassment is occurring. I believe that most of it is done through ignorance, rather than straight up malicious intent. Someone telling dead baby jokes or commenting on someone's appearance. That sort of thing. The people aren't really deliberately trying to force others out of the game or the hobby, they're just ... well... stupid I guess is the best word here. Socially oblivious?
The problem, and where the notion of terrorism is coming from, is that so much of it is directed at women. From a woman's perspective, does it really matter if that guy (who, from demographics is almost always white) is just stupid or malicious? All that really matters is that guy is making someone uncomfortable to the point where they feel unwelcome. And it has to start feeling pretty pointed after a while.
So, it's a problem. What do we do?
- Ask store owners to post & enforce no harassment policies? Don't shop at stores that don't comply?
- Ask cons to post & enforce no harassment policies? Ask for video monitoring of all public spaces? Refuse to attend if they don't?
- Create & wear no harassment t-shirts?
- What about publishers?
- Online stores?
- Make a no harassment statement at the start of any public game that you GM? Ask your GM to do the same?
- "Man up" and intercede the next time someone steps out of line?
At various points upthread, people have asked if this level of harassment (especially the online threats) is just a gaming thing or if it is something common to any area in which men have dominated, and the "boy's club" is just now starting to see more women getting admission. The answer I've given has been that it is the latter. Here's an exemplar featuring "mean tweets" to female sports reporters.
Clearly, the guys are having almost as hard a time reading it aloud to them as the targets no doubt did when first they read them. So there IS hope.
It reminds me of John 3:20, "For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed." The anonymity of the Internet lets miscreants hide away. So one potential weapon in the arsenal against such behavior is exposure. If you find out who is spreading Internet poison, let others know.
I don't believe that harassing harassers is appropriate as a general principle. Exceptions exist, like counterdemonstrations.
However, if you know who the harassers are, you can change your behavior in non-harassing ways. For instance, were I to find out Internet Troll X who was sending rape threats to a female gamer of my acquaintance happened to be the car mechanic down the street, I could opt not to give him my business, same as I'd do if I found out if he were a member of the KKK.
If Internet Troll X were a guy I socialize with regularly, perhaps I'd reevaluate our friendship.
Justifying a measure by the most appealing results is a poor test. If you want to vet a rule, place it in the hands of the people you think most likely to abuse it and then use that data point for evaluation. For instance, if you think that outing the real life identity of an internet troll to your friends is a good idea, do you also think that an internet troll being about to out your identity to his friends is a good idea?
Also, if I found out that a friend of my was sending rape threats to anyone, much less someone else I know, re-evaluating the friendship would be the least of that fallout.
Harassment policies are pretty much absolutely required. The problem with many policies, though, is that they're incomplete.
Many of your other questions are much more personal in nature. It's up to you if you want to wear a shirt. I like the idea of con management/contacts for a harassment policy to be identifiable via such a thing -- advertisement of the policy and functional at the same time. It's up to you if you participate in a store that doesn't post a policy. It's up to you if you want to have a personal policy at your table -- just make sure it doesn't run afoul of any store or con policies.
It's up to you if you want to intercede or report a specific incident. I'd strongly encourage you do to so, even if it's just at the level of 'that's not cool!' Often, just challenging a behavior with such a statement can immediately stop the behavior (and sometimes not). We each must judge our involvement ourselves. I stand up, call out the behavior, and will report it if it has crossed the line from accidental to intentional or is severe enough, or if the situation isn't resolved immediately. Sometime it can be handled at the table, sometimes it must be escalated. As with all human interaction, there's no set of rules for which is which.
I think parts of my post that I did not write and assumed would be understood weren't. My oversight.
Of course I can do these things. I wasn't asking what an individual could do. I was trying to ask what we, the gaming community (or at least a set of "us") are actually willing to do?
I think most of us would intercede if we saw such an event occurring. If it happened at a con or your local game store and the management didn't take action (and what action?), would you walk out and never return? Of course we have to try to take effective action(s). But what actions are "we" willing to take?
Are you asking each person to answer, or are you talking generally? I couched my response in terms of what I expect from the generic you.

There are boards in which my identity is fully known. Now, I'd rather trolls not know who I am and other stuff, but I guarantee you that if I were fully revealed in retaliation for revealing a troll, the troll would have a harder time of it. My secrets are small things, and would not up harm me and mine so much as being exposed to making crimially actionable threats on the Internet.
At any rate, I was also unable to access ENWorld for some time today, starting while I was editing the post you're responding to. I meant to continue:
Another alternative to harassment, shunning, voting with dollars/feet is constructive engagement. I've seen some powerful examples of it working in real life- one reason why I don't use message board ignore lists. The one I took to heart was that of a Rabbi who was getting phoned threats of violence from a neo-Nazi. Instead of hanging up, or yelling or any of the normal, expended reactions, the Rabbi always asked the caller why he was doing what he was doing, in a calm, clear "fatherly" voice.
After many months of this, the harassment stopped, and caller asked to meet the Rabbi. They met several times, and eventually, the Rabbi convinced him to give up his hatred. The man started getting his "88", swastika and other tattoos removed.
More time passed, and the former white supremacist married a Hispanic woman. The story ended when the man got a terminal diagnosis, and he & his wife spent his final days living with the Rabbi's family.
That is the power of constructive engagement. We can't all be as strong as that Rabbi, but his story gives us a an example to aim for, and an idea of what we can achieve if we try.
What I as a man need to realize is that if I had grown up and been subject to the kind of harassment that women are unfortunately subject to in Nerd culture, I might be more sensitive to it than your Avg. White Guy. So while something may not be offensive to me, I don't get to decide if it's offensive for someone else. And I've never ever felt stifled by that.
There I go again, not being very clear
I actually don't know what I expect. I hope each person asks and answers these questions to themselves.
But, after 67 pages of discussion, what, if anything concrete is going to come from the time and consideration people have spent on this issue. Is it simply going to be a thread were people discuss their views, feel good about themselves for the stances they take on this forum? Or, is a movement going to be started that generates some "charter" and takes some actions?
For me personally, I plan to create a few sentences that I include in game descriptions when I put together an online game open to the public (FG Daze, FG Con, etc). I'm willing to walk out of a store or con and never come back if management refuses to appropriately handle a situation. But, none of that is a stretch for me, as I don't often go to stores or cons. I'm willing to help develop and support such a "charter". I'm willing to do other things if presented with a reasonably effective plan.
For what purpose are you letting others know?
But, let's say that you can identify someone, and they don't get a mountain of harassment aimed at them (best case). What's the point? That wouldn't prevent or even much dissuade the behavior; they can continue to say what they said before, if less anonymously.
I have an immediate negative reaction to calls for exposure because that seems like a call for retribution, for abuse to be applied to the abusers.

It has been estimated that online, there are more than 35000 stores claiming to sell medication drugs. The problem is that 90% of these stores are illegitimate. Illegitimate means that they are operating outside the confines of the law. This means that they don't care whether what they deliver to you is real drugs or fake drugs. If you just use a random store to order your prescription pills, you have a 9 out of 10 chance of ordering from a fake store. The repercussions that arise when you order from scam stores include receiving fake drugs and getting your money stolen.
For these reasons, no one wants to cross lines with the fake stores. Everyone wants to order drugs and receive exactly what he or she has ordered. People wonder whether there is any real or legitimate drugstore available online. It is true that there are drug stores that will deliver real drugs online. However, in order to better answer this question we decided to dig deeper into the web and find what online pharmacy users had to say.
Legitimate Online Pharmacy
We decided to seek information from people who have been using online stores to get their meds. We decided to search online forums. The first forum that we searched was Quora. The following is the question that the users were trying to answer:
Legitimate Online Pharmacies Quora
The user who had posted the above question wants to know whether online pharmacies are legal or illegal. Here is what Quora had to say about legitimate online pharmacies:
Legit Online Pharmacy Testimonial
The first answer came from Mohammed Abubakr. First, he says that the question of whether online pharmacies are legal or illegal is vague. He equates it to asking whether drinking water is illegal or legal. He says that you can drink water to survive while at the same time you can drown in the same water. It depends on the scenario.
He reports that whether an online pharmacy is legal or illegal will depend on the type of business that the pharmacy indulges in. If the online pharmacy employs certified pharmacists, partners with pharmacies that have a valid license given by government agencies and provides online ordering service to consumers by taking a copy of prescription given by the medical practitioner, then that kind of pharmacy is legal. However, if a pharmacy does not employ certified pharmacists, partners with illegal pharmacies and sells medications without a prescription, then this is illegal.
Legit Online Pharmacy Review
Alex Hales says that there are both legal online pharmacies and illegal pharmacies. He says that before purchasing medication, the buyer should look for pharmacies that are satisfied by the US and Canadian Pharmacy Association. He warns against buying drugs from pharmacies that sell their drugs without prescriptions. He also says that the buyer should ensure that the online pharmacy security and privacy issues are easy to understand. He says that some illegal pharmacies will sell your information.
We also checked on Reddit to see what the Redditors were saying regarding online pharmacies and their legitimacy. The following is the question that sparked discussion:
Legit Online Pharmacy Reddit
The above Redditor wanted to know whether anyone has ever had any experience with buying meds online from a foreign country. The following is what Redditors had to say in their replies:
Legit Online Pharmacy Reddit Comments
The first Redditor says that his Nana ordered fibromyalgia pills from Canada once. He says that the medications worked for her. The Redditor says that he cannot remember the pharmacy name. The second Redditor says that he has ordered Nurofen plus which is a combination of both ibuprofen and codeine from New Zealand Pharmacies three times in a couple of years. He says that he has not had any problems.
From what you can gather above, it is clear that you can get legitimate pharmacies. However, the users agree that illegitimate pharmacies are also available. If you try to find legitimate stores on your own, you will end up in a trap of one of the pharmacies that poses as being real. You can use the list of the top certified medication vendors that we have to find a legitimate pharmacy to order from. That way, you will be safe.
Legitimate Prescription Drugs Online
The reasons why many people want to buy their drugs online is because they need prescription medications which are expensive to buy locally. There are legitimate drugs that are available online. These you can find them at a very reduced price in comparison to other local stores.
Legitimate Prescription Drugs Price
As you can see in the above price list, it is very clear that online stores have a great chance for you to save. You will be able to save an average of 90% on your drugs. However, we don't recommend getting carried away by the prices that pharmacies offer you. Some pharmacies will use very low prices as a way to lure you into their trap. What you need to do is to use a store that has been proven by experts to be honest and genuine. These are the stores that you will always find in our catalog.
Legitimate Pharmacy Qualities
Despite the fact that online pharmacies will look the same regardless of whether they are genuine or fake, there are some distinct characteristics that will set real stores apart from fakers. For example, real stores will have many customers. They will have many positive reviews. Also, they will be accredited by the boards that regulate online pharmacy operations. Some pharmacies will lie about all of this on their business websites including faking reviews. This is why you should avoid every online pharmacy that is not recommended to you by experts who investigate and find real stores.
The web is a place where you should not trust people. This is especially very important when you are dealing with your health. Don't compromise your health by ordering your meds from a pharmacy that just looks good and easy to use in front of your eyes. The majority of scammers are learning this secret and they are using it to lure in even more people. Instead, focus on sourcing your meds from a real store. We have these on our catalog.
