First off, its ToTok, not TikTok. One is a messaging app that turned out to be spyware for the United Arab Emirates; the other is that quirky video app that people use to lipsync with their cats to make funny memes. Keep doing that, but definitely remove ToTok from your device if youre one of the millions of people who installed it, because its totally bogus.

The news on ToTok comes from a weekend report by The New York Times, which indicates that ToTokrecently among the most-downloaded apps in the United Statesis actually used by the government of the United Arab Emirates to try to track every conversation, movement, relationship, appointment, sound and image of those who install it on their phones.

While youre uninstalling the offending app, and having a slight panic attack about who and what has this data about your whereabouts and discussions, lets talk prevention. Specifically, is there any way to prevent a scammy app like thisone thats presumably vetted by popularity, as I like to describe itfrom infiltrating your life again?

First off, theres nothing about the apps description that would typically raise a warning flag. Its full of marketing-speak, sure, but its not full of grammar and spelling mistakes, nor does it read as if it was run through Google Translate six times back-to-back. From a screenshot of the apps product page on the App Store, we get:

The app also enjoyed a lot of great reviews and hgh ratingsagain, all appearing to be written by real people. At least, they didnt sound as if the apps developer hired 30 scammers to post random positive junk about the app.

Finally, theres the trust element. I think a lot of people assume that whenever an app makes it onto Apples App Store (for example), it has been thoroughly and properly vetted by Apples internal app review teams. While thats true, to an extent, theres only so much these teams can check. They would have no way of knowing that the servers used by a messaging app are logging and recording everything you saynot really functionality they have the power to test.

The same is true for location tracking. As long as an apps use of location services is directly relevant to the features and services provided by the app, as Apple says, Apple has no control over how this data is stored, kept, or shared by an apps developer. An app can notify and obtain consent before collecting, transmitting, or using location data, but it can also lie. Apple cant check for liars.

Its also unclear whether permissions the app requestedon Android or iOSwould have given away its intent. I suspect that which the app wanted to do probably seemed reasonable, given its a messaging app. It would probably want to access your contacts or SMS messages, as well as your camera, your microphone, et cetera. Normally, an app asking for all those permissions en masse would raise a flag, but not when that app, like others, uses those as part of its core functionality.

The only advice I have, which isnt much advice at all, is to really, really think about the kinds of apps you install on your device. Most app categories have frontrunners that have been around for years, used by millions, and probably analyzed by security experts and journalists alike. Before you install the next great app to replace some critical component of your devicelike a new phone app, a messaging app, or even a camera apptake some time to research it.

Even if you did this, you still wouldnt have found out about ToToks mischief until it was too late, but you also might have not installed the appgiven its newnessuntil more people had more to say about it. You might have paused, wondering why a messaging app youve never heard of and none of your friends are using is now insanely popular. Maybe you would have stuck with Signal or WhatsApp instead of jumping ship to a new app that offers similar functionality. Is the risk worth an extra feature or two, or a more interesting user interface?

Theres no hard and fast rule you can use to determine whether an app is legitimate or not, just a number of data points you have to weigh before installing something new. Sometimes, these clues tilt the balance toward obviousnot a full confirmation, but a strong suggestion that you probably dont need or want the app youre about to install. Other times, like in the case of ToTok, its hard to figure out what you should do. I tend to ask myself, Do I really need it, before I install something new, because I like to not have 1,000 apps on my smartphone. That, and I like to be pretty sure about apps that request a ton of permissions. (Im less worried about apps Ive never heard of that dont need access to, say, my contacts.)

Im hoping you didnt get bit by ToTok, but if you did, its a helpful reminder that even the best-looking apps that live in the top charts on the worlds biggest app playgrounds can still act in bad faith. And, sometimes, theres very little you can do about it. Stay on top of the news for the popular apps you download just in case that new and sweet-looking app is actually a complete and total scam (or worse).

Human Growth Hormone Market is Anticipated to Reach Nearly US$ 5261.5 mn by the End of 2026 - Market Reports Observer

A developer wants to build a block of flats with no parking spaces in the middle of the town centre.

Plans for 100 flats next door to Primark in the High Street have been submitted to Watford Borough Council.

The development site is currently home to Bills Restaurant, Supercuts Retail Shop, a casino, Breakout Rooms, offices and car parking spaces at the rear.

The proposal is for a building of fourstoreys, stepping up to nine and 13 storeys to the rear of the building.

No car parking has been proposed.

Developer APG Portfolio Management Limited says the development is within easy reach of the town centre and therefore on-site parking is not considered essential.

No affordable housing is proposed either in its planning application report, the developer referred to the councils Core Strategy Policy HS3 report, which states that only in exceptional circumstances will the council consider a lower level of affordable housing.

APG says it will be left with a shortfall of more than 5.5 million between the proposed benchmark land value of nearly 8 million and the residual land value of 2.3 million.

It added that this is below the necessary level of profit required by lenders in order to fund a scheme and the proposed scheme cannot support the provision of any affordable housing.

The plans for the flatshave been met with some criticism.

Central Watford county councillor Stephen Giles-Medhurst said: We don't need more expensive penthouse appeasements in the town centre.

If they cannot afford to provide much needed social housing then just don't build it.

And Central ward councillor Rabi Martins also hit out at the plans, which he says will overlook the St Marys Church Conservation area if approved.

He said: "A tower in the centre of town which not only affects St Marys Church and its conservation area but also towers oven the new glass dome of the intu centre is totally and utterly unacceptable.

What makes it worse is the refusal of the developer to provide any affordable or social housing claiming they will not make a profit on the development if they do.

Mark Smith, of the Watford Field Residents' Association, added: "The developer's own heritage assessment concludes that there would be harm to the Grade 1 listed St Mary's Church and the St Mary's Conservation Area."

APG says its proposed development preserves and enhances the character and appearance of St Marys Church

A statement from planning agents HGH Consulting added: "This proposed will transform a key part of Watford town centre, which currently attracts high levels of anti-social behaviour, and will contribute towards the continuation of the public realm enhancement programme and investment within the town.

The scheme has evolved through extensive pre-application discussions with Watford Borough Council and their design review panel.

The sustainable and high quality designed development will deliver 100 much needed housing units and new retail/commercial space, on an under-utilised site in a highly accessible town centre location, which will deliver significant improvements to the public realm and pedestrian experience along the High Street."

Flats of up to 13 storeys proposed in Watford town centre - Hillingdon Times

This article is written for those who want to get better at using price to earnings ratios (P/E ratios). We'll look at Heartland Group Holdings Limited's (NZSE:HGH) P/E ratio and reflect on what it tells us about the company's share price. Based on the last twelve months, Heartland Group Holdings's P/E ratio is 15.60. That means that at current prices, buyers pay NZ$15.60 for every NZ$1 in trailing yearly profits.

Check out our latest analysis for Heartland Group Holdings

The formula for P/E is:

Price to Earnings Ratio = Price per Share Earnings per Share (EPS)

Or for Heartland Group Holdings:

P/E of 15.60 = NZ$1.72 NZ$0.11 (Based on the trailing twelve months to June 2019.)

The higher the P/E ratio, the higher the price tag of a business, relative to its trailing earnings. That isn't necessarily good or bad, but a high P/E implies relatively high expectations of what a company can achieve in the future.

We can get an indication of market expectations by looking at the P/E ratio. You can see in the image below that the average P/E (11.3) for companies in the banks industry is lower than Heartland Group Holdings's P/E.

NZSE:HGH Price Estimation Relative to Market, December 13th 2019

Heartland Group Holdings's P/E tells us that market participants think the company will perform better than its industry peers, going forward. The market is optimistic about the future, but that doesn't guarantee future growth. So investors should always consider the P/E ratio alongside other factors, such as whether company directors have been buying shares.

Companies that shrink earnings per share quickly will rapidly decrease the 'E' in the equation. That means unless the share price falls, the P/E will increase in a few years. Then, a higher P/E might scare off shareholders, pushing the share price down.

It's great to see that Heartland Group Holdings grew EPS by 16% in the last year. And it has bolstered its earnings per share by 4.7% per year over the last five years. So one might expect an above average P/E ratio. Unfortunately, earnings per share are down 1.2% a year, over 3 years.

It's important to note that the P/E ratio considers the market capitalization, not the enterprise value. Thus, the metric does not reflect cash or debt held by the company. In theory, a company can lower its future P/E ratio by using cash or debt to invest in growth.

Such spending might be good or bad, overall, but the key point here is that you need to look at debt to understand the P/E ratio in context.

The extra options and safety that comes with Heartland Group Holdings's NZ$57m net cash position means that it deserves a higher P/E than it would if it had a lot of net debt.

Heartland Group Holdings has a P/E of 15.6. That's below the average in the NZ market, which is 20.0. The net cash position gives plenty of options to the business, and the recent improvement in EPS is good to see. The below average P/E ratio suggests that market participants don't believe the strong growth will continue. Since analysts are predicting growth will continue, one might expect to see a higher P/E so it may be worth looking closer

Story continues

Investors have an opportunity when market expectations about a stock are wrong. If the reality for a company is not as bad as the P/E ratio indicates, then the share price should increase as the market realizes this. So this free visualization of the analyst consensus on future earnings could help you make the right decision about whether to buy, sell, or hold.

Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking at a few good candidates. So take a peek at this free list of companies with modest (or no) debt, trading on a P/E below 20.

Here's What Heartland Group Holdings Limited's (NZSE:HGH) P/E Is Telling Us - Yahoo Finance

After holding out all of last season, LeVeon Bell signed a four-year contract with the Jets this offseason, worth more than $50 million. Hes experienced a disappointing first season in New York, and now hes making headlines for an off-the-field issue.

Bell believes the NFL is targeting him for drug testing more than other players possibly because of his two drug suspensions in 2015 and 2016. The running back has already been tested five times this year, and he is getting really frustrated about it.

According to the league and players association, NFL players are randomly chosen to be tested for performance-enhancing drugs and recreational drugs, including marijuana. All players are subject to testing throughout the year, with tests often performed during the first two weeks of training camp.

Players in the NFLs drug program are subject to more frequent testing up to six tests per year. Testing involves both an A sample and a B sample, with the B sample serving as a second sample for confirmation if the A sample comes up positive for a banned substance.

Bell tweeted that he has had 5 random HGH blood test[s] in 10 weeks, and hes not doing another after today. Since he is under the six-test limit, if Bell is asked to take another test and refuses, he could face a suspension.

The 27-year-old has already been suspended twice for drug-related violations. After being charged with DUI and marijuana possession in 2014, he was suspended for two games in the 2015 season.

Then, in 2016, he was suspended four games for a missed drug test, which the league considers the same as a failed test. Neither of those suspensions were related to performance-enhancing drugs or HGH, which is what Bell has been tested for five times this year.

Given his history with marijuana, the wide receiver thinks hes being singled out, rather than being subjected to random tests. He said he feels like every time the testers are at the Jets facility to perform HGH testing, he gets picked.

While it seems like Bell is upset with being chosen to be tested so often, he says his real issue is the way hes being tested by having blood drawn. He doesnt like needles, and that is whats bothering him about all of the recent tests.

The wide receiver says if the NFL wants to have him pee in a cup to be tested, he can do that all day, but he doesnt want anything to do with needles.

Peeing in a cup isnt an option for HGH testing. Unlike marijuana, HGH cant be detected in urine and drawing blood is the only reliable test for the substance. This doesnt matter to Bell, who threatens that the league isnt getting no more of my blood. They can use the blood theyve got now.

Between Bells disappointing season and the Jets being in rebuild mode, it seems like the circumstances could lead to a separation between the two after this season. However, the money situation may prevent it from happening.

If the Jets cant trade Bell in the offseason, they are unlikely to cut the veteran running back. It would be a $19 million charge in dead money if the team cuts him.

Bell can opt-out of the last two years of the deal after 2020, but he is unlikely to do so if his lack of production continues next season. At that point, though, the Jets may be more willing to cut him because the cap hit will continue to decrease as time goes on.

Stimulating the bodys own HGH production can reverse Somatopause, remove fat, add muscle, and take years off your appearance, and perhaps extend longevity because its natures way, its safe.

Capsule: For you boomers, imagine one day a drug that will make you look 20 years younger, remove 15 lbs. of body fat, add lean muscle mass, increase your cognitive functions including memory, give you a healthier heart, increase your bone density, and elevate both your mood and your libido. Well, actually that drug is here now and its called, human growth hormone (HGH). The injecting of HGH is popular among the Hollywood cognoscenti but its expensive and risky. However, there is a way tap into this amazing fountain of youth naturally

The Long Steady Decline

O.K., so youre 60-years old and have been sedentary your whole adult life, but you weigh only 15 pounds more than you did at age 30 so youre O.K. right? Wrong.

Meet HGH, a powerful hormone that keeps us lean, young and strong and keeps all our biomarkers in the healthy range. With enough of it you can stay young and vital long into your elder years.

Unfortunately theres a pivot point right around age 30 where there is a marked drop in your bodys natural production of HGH which, if unabated, will continue to decline for the rest of your life. This condition is called somatopause.

This precipitous drop in HGH leads to a severe drop in lean muscle mass and an increase in adipose tissue especially in the belly. On average, without proper exercise people will lose 10 lbs. of lean muscle mass per decade after the age of 30.

So, the aforementioned 60-year-old may only weigh 15 more pounds, but in actuality he/she lost 30 lbs. of muscle! Add that onto the gain of 15 lbs. and he/she actually has 45 lbs. more visceral fat not a healthy condition.

Dont be depressed, there are positive actions you can take to reverse this trend of HGH loss, read on.

From Hollywood to Main Street

If you want to know whats truly hot and fashionable, look to Hollywood. Many aging actors have been regularly taking human growth hormones for years to remain thin and attractive for their careers. This was originally made known in a March 2012 article in Vanity Fair.

Although far from being a mainstream phenomenon, it is estimated that about 30,000 Americans are shooting up with HGH, a rapid rise from the estimated 2,000 that were doing so in the mid-1990s.

One of the reasons is that HGH is more readily available now that biotech companies have learned to synthesize it through recombinant DNA technology; previously the only source was natural HGH from human cadavers, an obviously rare and expensive supply.

Somatopause The Boomer Belly

Older people face a double whammy. Although they work out at the gym regularly and seem to be constantly dieting, as they age they lose more muscle mass and gain more body fat especially around the middle. Those long cardio sessions cant seem to get the midriff reduced past a certain point.

This malady is called somatopause (So-MAT-a-pause). Somatopause is signified by energy decline, weight-gain (usually around the middle, and hips), loss of muscle, and wrinkled skin. Other symptoms include energy decline, a rise in LDL cholesterol and a lowering of the good HDL.

Somatopause is related directly to the decline of HGH being produced by the body by the pituitary gland as we age. It is an extrapolation of the term menopause and applies to both men and women whose natural production of HGH started a steady gradual decline since age 30 and continues to decline for the rest of their lives.

So, it begs the question, if somatopause is caused by the bodys natural decline of HGH, what if we were to increase the HGH in our system, would that reverse its effects? By most observations, the answer appears to be yes.

It All began With a 1990 Journal of Medicine Article

The late Dr. Daniel Rudman of Madison Wisconsin along with a team of researchers made a startling discovery in July 1990. They performed experiments on men age 61 to 81 to determine if HGH could cause a reversal in symptoms were succumb to during aging.

One group was given subcutaneous injections of HGH while the control group was not. HGH cannot be measured directly because it is detectable in the blood for only a few minutes; therefore they measured a byproduct called IGF-1 (Insulin Like Growth Factor). The more IGF-1 in the system, the more HGH is there as well.

At the start, both groups averaged less than 350 U per liter of IGF-1. After 6 months, the group given the HGH injections had levels of IGF-1 in the range of 500 to 1500 U per liter, a level found at a much youthful age, while the control group still remained at the original 350 level.

What was more astonishing was that with no other variables, there was: An 8.8% increase in lean body mass A 14.4% decrease in adipose tissue, aka body fat A 1.6% increase in vertebral bone density.

It was concluded that the drop in natural HGH levels is directly responsible for much of the observable effects we call aging. And furthermore, that agings effects could be reversed if the level of HGH could be maintained at a higher elevation. This is the finding that launched a thousand ships and explains why today you get all those spam e-mails trying to sell you HGH and HGH releasers over the web. Who doesnt want the fountain of youth?

The Vanity Medicine

There are roughly 74 million baby boomers in the U.S. alone and in contrast to previous generations that have reached older age, this generation is determined to remain young and vigorous. They seem to be looking for that magic bullet, or pill they can take to keep their looks and vitality. Should that magic pill be regular subcutaneous injections of HGH cost anywhere from $500 to $1,000 per month and carry unknown health risks?

Risks of Artificial HGH

If taking a pill, or in this case an injection, for prolonged youth seems too good to be true, well, youre probably right.

A respected source about anti-aging is Dr. Nicolas Perricone, a Yale affiliated dermatologist. In his book, The Perricone Prescription, he clarified the findings of the original Rudman studies as follows:

As exciting as these results were, there was a downside. Subsequent studies using injectable growth hormone at similar doses to the first study found unacceptable side effects . . . The studies were extended to a period of a year or longer and researchers realized that prolonged supplementation could induce diabetes, arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, making the results very disappointingSupplementation with injectable human growth hormone is still very experimental and we have not accumulated enough data to assure its safety.

He goes on to explain that HGH is basically good, its the means of injecting high doses of HGH that causes health risks, therefore, its best to mimic our own bodys production of HGH.

Dr. Perricone goes on to say: Another very new and exciting strategy for growth hormone supplementation is to use amino acids or small peptides to trigger the bodys own release of HGH from our pituitary. This is a much safer method because we have normal feedback mechanisms and controls over a hormone when it is being produced by our own bodies.

Luckily, there are alternative ways of raising the HGH levels without costly injections and one of those is the neighborhood gym.

Look Younger and Lose Weight with HGH The Natural Way

It is widely believed that certain forms of exercise will stimulate the bodys natural production of HGH in older adults. Since the body seldom produces compounds that will be harmful to itself, what better way to enjoy the benefits of HGH invoked youth without the health risks?

According to Phil Campbell, author of a fitness book, Ready, Set, GO! Synergy Fitness, natural HGH production can indeed be stimulated to produce outstanding physical results. He cites 160 biomedical research studies in his book.

Stay Youthful by Biohacking Your HGH through Sprinting

His presents a new regimen which focuses on high-intensity training (HIIT). Such training, combined with proper sleep and diet, can spur the pituitary glands pulsing output of HGH. Campbell calls such HGH goosing a natural anti-aging regimen. And he stresses natural.

Anaerobic Exercise Should Be a Part of Every Fitness Routine

The focus is not on endless hours of aerobic exercise, but on the incredible benefits of anaerobic exercise on the bodys hormone release system.

Short bursts lasting 10 to 30 seconds of intense activity can induce your body to naturally release HGH growth hormone by 530%, which is the substance that keeps you looking and feeling young.

The reason older professional athletes keep playing beyond their time, is due to the anaerobic exercise that they perform during practice. Anaerobic exercise the hard and fast, sprinting types of exercise is shown by medical researchers to make the body produce significant amounts anti-aging growth hormone, says Campbell, and this keeps older players strong, lean and muscular.

Growth hormone is given to children with clinical stature growth problems to help them grow normally, says Campbell, however, it does not make adults grow taller, but it does reverse several measurable clinical factors of the middle-age spread, which has been named the somatopause by researchers.

Anaerobic exercise should be a part of every fitness routine, However, he cautions that physician clearance and a progressive build-up of the high-intensity exercise is necessary to prevent injury.

Conclusion

Youth and fitness are an associated pair. Conversely, pharmacology is closely associated with disease. Nature should always be preferred over drugs. Mankinds quest for the fountain of youth may lie not in a bottle or in a syringe, but in the grunts and groans of intense exercise.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) The Patriots are claiming they unknowingly violated NFL policy when taping from the press box during the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals game.

According to the team, the Patriots sent a crew that was filming their scout, who was watching the Browns take on the Bengals in Cleveland that week. The crew apparently filmed some of the field and sideline from the press box. The crew was working on a piece for the Do Your Job series on the Patriots website.

The filming was cleared with the Browns, but the team did not inform the Bengals.

Steelers guard Ramon Foster, who is also the players union representative for the team, was asked about the Patriots newest recording controversy on 93.7 The Fan.

I really hope theyre not playing afoul like that because if thats the case, I think thats bigger than steroids, HGH or anything else like that. Youre slanting a game and youre not giving both sides of the ball a fair competition. Thats if, Foster said.

CBS Sports reports that The Athletics Paul Dehner Jr. is reporting that the footage, which has been obtained by the Bengals and the NFL, includes about eight minutes of footage focusing on recording the Bengals sideline.
