太原大便有血不痛(山西大便出鲜血) (今日更新中)

BALTIMORE — Dottie Morales was sick of living in an apartment, so when her Facebook friend told her about a new way to get thousands of dollars, she was intrigued."She said, 'Hi, how are you doing?' I said, 'I'm not doing too well, got the flu, how are you?' And she says, 'Great! I just got a ,000 grant and I'm able to pay off all my medical bills,' " Morales said. The acquaintance then put her in touch with Timothy Doyle, a government grant claim agent with Swift Global Grant. He said he would be able to help Morales afford a new home."I really wanted to get a nice double wide trailer that I would call my own and live there, and you know, be happy for the rest of my years on earth," Morales said. The promise of a better life was enough to cloud Morales' judgment when Doyle asked for a ,500 advanced processing fee. He said after that she would receive her grant, but it wasn't that simple."Customs stopped the money, so you must pay an additional amount of money," Doyle told Morales.Another time she was told the driver of the Fed-Ex truck was in an accident and she needed to pay more money to have the grant transferred to a new truck. Then she received a text message from someone claiming to be an FBI agent and demanding a fee or the grant would be held up at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.Morales said she kept sending the man money "because he kept asking me to trust him, trust him, this wasn't scam, he's a man of God, he wouldn't lie to me."Morales was so deep into the scheme, and wanted so desperately to believe the money was on its way, she even cooked dinner for Doyle and waited for his arrival."That was when he did not show up again, and I was heartbroken," she said.Not surprisingly, the photo used by the man claiming to be Timothy Doyle was not Doyle. A quick reverse Google image search revealed the photo was actually of Bill Grant, a former Minnesota Department of Commerce official. And the photos of grant recipients posted on Swift Global Grant's website had also been modified."Copy a picture, do a little Photoshop, change the name, create a new identity, I mean they can create new financial footprints for false businesses in a matter of 15 minutes," said Jody Thomas, vice president of communications and marketing for the Better Business Bureau of Greater Maryland.Morales contacted Thomas asking for help. Thomas advised her to stop responding to Doyle's calls, emails and texts, and any unknown numbers. But instead, Morales listened when someone contacted her about getting her money back."And she bought into it," Thomas said.Morales lost thousands more. "You know that somebody's getting taken advantage of, and we're talking over the phone and all we want is to get in our car and ride down and tell her, 'Dottie, please stop communicating,' " said Thomas, who became emotionally involved in the case.Morales lost her retirement savings, maxed out two credit cards, and the financial devastation and deceit affected her confidence."Definitely, I'm very leery and cautious now every time I deal with people because I don't believe anything they say anymore," Morales said. Morales believes her Facebook friend's account was cloned. She also filed claims with Western Union, Moneygram and her credit card companies but hasn't received a dollar back from the more than ,000 she lost.WMAR tried contacting the scammer. The phone number was for a text mail subscriber. When we texted the number, someone immediately responded, but once we identified ourselves, the person did not answer.If you've been contacted about a government grant, that's the first red flag. Grant seekers pursue funds, not the other way around. Also, government grants are not meant for individuals. They're for the greater good, like nonprofits, community leaders and researchers. Grant scams continue to be a common fraud complaint.According to the Federal Trade Commission, more than 6,300 people lost .5 million to grant scams in 2018.For more information on government grant scams, 4036

BALTIMORE — On a cold day in February, Evelyn Businsky was on her couch when the sliding glass door behind her spontaneously shattered."I was glad that the curtain was closed because it just burst out," Businsky said. The inside pane of the door shattered into a thousand little pieces on her living room floor. Her and her husband immediately called the remodeling company that installed the windows and doors about 20 years ago. They chose Homefix Custom Remodeling for their lifetime warranty. An estimator came out the next day but the Businskys say they were unable to get an answer on when the door would be replaced and how much it would cost. The company eventually called the couple to let them know they were going to replace the door at no cost.As for why or how the door shattered, the Businskys figured it was the combination of the polar vortex and the hot air coming from their space heater. However, Mike Geraci, director of marking and business development at Caplan Glass in Baltimore, isn't convinced that's what caused the glass to give out."I doubt very seriously because of the cold weather and heater, looks like five or six feet away, that it caused that door to explode," Gerarci said.He said it could've been stress, potentially some temperature imbalance or the materials inside the glass."One of the ingredients in float glass is nickel alloy, and if there's a large concentration of that particular ingredient in the glass, that could cause the glass to fracture or split," Geraci said.However, this is rare and uncommon."Very rare for that to happen. There's thousands and thousands of tempered glass being produced every hour," Geraci said.And yet, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission received nearly 30 reports in the last six months of shower doors, TV stands, casserole dishes and glass appliances exploding out of nowhere."There's a process called heat soaking where they take the glass, they heat it up and then they put it right into warm water and in that bath any kind of informality in the glass should make it explode in water to prevent it from happening after purchase but it's hard to say. Again, these are very rare cases," he said.When deciding on windows and doors in your home, you do have another glass option. On impact, tempered glass shatters into tiny little pieces while laminated glass splinters but stays in place. These are designed to protect the consumer from being injured. While laminated glass may appear to be a better option to protect against break-ins, tempered glass is actually four to five times stronger. Laminated glass is also typically more expensive, however, it can be replaced faster.Homefix Custom Remodeling said the Businskys door should be ready in six to eight weeks. The couple is happy it's getting taken care of, but the lengthy timeline and fluctuating weather gives them some concern."I have COPD, and if I get a cold you've got to figure it's like somebody else getting pneumonia. And if I get pneumonia, I could die," said Evelyn Businsky.Homefix Custom Remodeling said they're not an emergency glass replacement company and are unable to expedite the replacement. In an email, a spokeswoman for the company wrote: "We are eager to see the door replaced, and are doing all that we can to facilitate that outcome." They also say they tried calling the couple and left a voicemail, but never heard back. The couple disputes this.The CPSC issued a 3453

Breweries around the country are leading the charge to save more water, while keeping the same great taste. MillerCoors in Colorado has been taking on water conservation one barrel at a time.MillerCoors has been known as the Rocky Mountain beer, using snow-melted water to brew their beer for decades. "We collect a lot of snow throughout the winter; that snow is now melting and flowing down Clear Creek,” says Ben Moline, senior manager of water resources and environmental compliance at MillerCoors.The rushing water from Clear Creek is used not only by MillerCoors to brew beer, but the entire city of Denver, too."Being a large brewery in a metropolitan area, it’s our responsibility to be a good corporate citizen,” Moline says. “To make sure that we use water most efficiently. So that as the Denver area grows, there is water available for other people."The company brews 10 million barrels of beer a year. Currently, their water use is just below 3 barrels of water use per every barrel of beer produced.Beer is 90 percent to 95 percent water. Usually, it takes about five to six barrels of water per every barrel of beer. So, MillerCoors is conserving about two barrels each time.Since the 1950s, MillerCoors has been leading the way in water conservation."We do that by tracking water throughout the entire brewery,” Moline explains. “We are making sure we are not wasting water or spilling water. We make sure we recover as much water as we can and return it back into the Clear Creek system."What people don’t realize is that a majority of American breweries share the same water as the rest of the surrounding communities. When there’s a drought, like the 2015 drought in California, breweries experience a major hit in that state.In order for a drought not to effect MillerCoors, they have filled two large reservoirs with water next to their brewery for emergencies. They could continue brewing for three years if they had to use only the water from the reservoirs.Moline says there’s a great demand for sustainable beer. The competition among breweries across the country to use less water is heating up. "Without great water, you can't brew great beer," Moline says. 2196
