Attn:Jamie Reygle ,

Thank you for accommodating my enquiry, you share the same last name with my late client and your name was stated on the last will and testament as the real next of kin, I believe you are in the right position to stand as the real next of kin, Also you might be related without you knowing, My client was originally from your country and I believe I can work with you; I received a call from Finance house here in UK notifying me that Mr. William Reygle deposited a sum of (£1.8m) "One Million eight Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling" in the finance house. However, the bank advice me to provide with the name of the next of kin of the estate, because for the past four years and some months now, the account have been a dormant account and any dormant accounts are usually reverted to government treasure as unclaimed funds after five years.

This is why I decided to seek for whose name shall be used as the next of kin after which I have also contacted you because of the ultimatum of twenty one days from now and pressure from the Finance House which says that if I failed to present the name of the next of kin, the account will be closed finally and redirected to government treasury as unclaimed funds as constituted by federal law on banking industries/finance houses.

First, I would respectfully request that you keep the contents of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come by as a result of this mail, On my own part as a lawyer and also the personal attorney to the deceased I will facilitate the necessary documents from the ministry of justice here in London that will prove the Legality of this money, when it is due to be transferred.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please endeavor to reply ASAP on your stand in this issue.

 Best Regards,

Colin A. Benedict.

Good luck finding another Reygle, Mr Benedict.

My wife and I joined parts of our last names together to create this name. There never was a William Reygle, there never was a Reygle before us, and you are one big con artist.

It's been nice playing this game with you, anyway.

There may be a sucker born every minute, and this time it's YOU!

Study: Up to half the world's food goes to waste


As much as half of the food produced in the world ends up going to waste, a London-based study found.

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers found that 1.2 billion to two billion of the four billion metric tons of food produced globally goes uneaten because of inadequate infrastructure as well as irresponsible retailer and consumer behavior.

"The amount of food wasted and lost around the world is staggering," Dr. Tim Fox, head of Energy and Environment at the institution, said in a release. "This is food that could be used to feed the world's growing population - as well as those in hunger today."

Developed countries like Britain and the United States have relatively efficient farming methods, so the majority of waste occurs on the consumer's end. The report found that about seven million tons of food - valued at about 10 billion pounds -- or about $16 billion -- is thrown away in British homes every year.

In Third World countries in places like sub-Saharan Africa and South-East Asia, farmers and producers contribute to the most wastage; inefficient harvesting, inadequate local transportation, and poor infrastructure has the largest impact, the report says.

The study has similar findings to another by the Natural Resources Defense Council in March. Their research found that Americans throw out 33 pounds of food each month.

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers calls for more efficient food practices, especially due to the fact the United Nations predicts there will be another three billion mouths to feed by the end of the century.

Their recommendations include having the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization work with international engineers in spreading the best knowledge and know-how in agricultural technology across the world.

They also call for rapidly developing countries, like China, to focus more in waste minimization when building infrastructure. In developed countries, they ask governments to help change consumer culture by discouraging retailers from tossing food based on cosmetic appearance or promoting excessive purchasing - like two-for-one sales or oversized packages.

Mapmaking? So now we're geeking out over mapmaking?!?

In the words of a former TLC reality star: You betcha! And here's why: Because what we're looking at here just may the Absolute Very Best Map There Is of the United States.

It was honored with the "Best in Show" award by the Cartography and Geographic Information Society and puts to shame those rickety old chalkboard-sized ones your teacher used to pull down in the front of the classroom.

As detailed right here by Slate, almost every map we use is made by a corporation and outsourced abroad for fine-tuning. But, "The Essential Geography of the United States of America" (Ed. note: The site may be down due to high traffic) was made by one man, who spent every day for two years painstakingly putting this treasure together in his Oregon farmhouse. Total time: An estimated 6,000 hours!

So what sets David Imus' map apart? It's been cited for its realistic portrayals of terrain, having city names displayed scaled to their population, showing indications of dense forests, including labels for noteworthy museums or neighborhoods in a city, and a clean readability which avoids some of the cluttered text on other maps.

Somewhere, Lewis & Clark are shaking their heads and saying "Now that's a map."

Basically, this is artisanal mapmaking. Rare, old school craftsmanship. The cartography equivalent of quaffing a boutique wine when everyone else is pounding Franzia.

And why not pay a little attention to maps? This is sort of a Golden Age for cartographers, if you think about it. Google Maps, GPS in your car and cell phone -- they've suddenly become basic parts of every day life. And now we have a King of the Cartographers.

But since accolades alone don't pay the bills, if you want to contribute to Imus' kingdom you can pick up the map for between $12-40 over on his Web site.

The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs

Attn: Entrepreneurs
Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today’s world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn’t give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called ‘Who Represents‘ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is
www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at
www.penisland.net

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com

5. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

7. If you’re looking for computer software, there’s always
www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com

9. Then, of course, there’s these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
www.speedofart.com

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at

The Breathing Earth simulation


Welcome to Breathing Earth. This real-time simulation displays the CO2 emissions of every country in the world, as well as their birth and death rates.

Please remember that this real time simulation is just that: a simulation. Although the CO2 emission, birth rate and death rate data used in Breathing Earth comes from reputable sources, data that measures things on such a massive scale can never be 100% accurate. Please note however that the CO2 emission levels shown here are much more likely to be too low than they are to be too high.
