Release Date: 

December 6, 2018

NEW YORK – They’re known as sneakers, but 9,024 pairs of counterfeit Nike sneakers could not sneak past alert U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Port of New York/Newark recently.

If authentic, the sneakers would have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $1,695,600.

CBP officers inspected the shipment in late September after it arrived from Dongguan City, China.  Officers then submitted digital images of the sneakers to CBP’s Apparel Footwear and Textiles Center for Excellence and Expertise, the agency’s trade experts. CBP’s CEE specialists worked with the trademark holders and determined the sneakers to be counterfeit.

CBP completed the seizure Thursday.  The sneakers were destined to an address in Chino, California.  Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations agents in Newark, N.J. continue to investigate.

We are approaching the end of the 2018 striped bass season, which closes Dec. 15. The season ends a few days earlier than last year, as part of the conservation-minded regulations that included reducing the minimum length for Chesapeake Bay rockfish to 19 inches. Of course there are other species that will still be in season for cold-weather anglers.

Expanding your outdoor experiences is a new, learning adventure. It may involve trying a new sport such as bow hunting for a traditional firearm hunter or perhaps fly fishing when you’ve always used spinning gear. There is always something new to explore.

Allowing Kids to Drink at Home is Encouraging Addiction Say Experts

 

CNBNewsnet (November 24, 2018--The Health Service Executive in Ireland has issued a stark warning to parents who encourage their underage kids to drink at home. Whilst many progressive parents believe it’s sensible to introduce their kids to alcohol in a safe, inclusive environment, experts say that exposing children to alcohol at a young age can increase the likelihood that a child will develop a full-blown addiction later in life.

It has become increasingly acceptable to offer children alcoholic drinks in the home. Parents often assume that allowing their child to drink small amounts at home is a good thing. They think it teaches their child to drink responsibly. In fact, this is far from the truth.

Drinking is Socially Acceptable

Being exposed to alcohol in the home gives the child a message that drinking outside the home is perfectly acceptable. Experts say this makes a child far more likely to drink ‘in a harmful manner’.

Children who smoke cannabis at a young age are four times more likely to have an addiction problem by their mid-twenties. The same is true for alcohol. Alcohol, like cannabis, has a damaging effect on the adolescent brain. It affects their cognitive development, behavior, and coping mechanisms. Children who start drinking in their teens are far more likely to develop mental health problems in later life. Ideally, a child shouldn’t be introduced to alcohol until they are at least 18-years-old.

How to Keep Your Mind Active as You Age

 

(CNBNewsnet)(November 21,2018)--Have you noticed your memory is not as good as it once was? Do you find yourself going upstairs and forgetting why you went there? We can all forget things from time to time, but as you get older, your mental abilities have a tendency to change, because just like the rest of your body, your brain is becoming less efficient. As you get older, some of the nerve cells in your brain can shrink. Losing connections with other nerve cells is something else that happens. The blood flow in your brain also slows, and it is thought that the combination of these changes make a difference to your brains cognitive function. There’s no magic pill that can stop the changes, although there are things you can do to help keep your mind sharp.

Exercise Regularly

Seconds Count discusses the many benefits to be gained from regular exercise. We’re not talking marathons or spending all day pumping iron at the gym. What’s important is to get yourself moving and increase circulation to your brain. It could be walking, swimming, dancing, or doing yoga. Regular exercise is also responsible for the production of a hormone called brain-derived neurotrophic factor. What this hormone does is preserve existing neurons and create new ones in the area of your brain that is vital for learning, memory, and higher thinking.

Eat Healthily

As pointed out by WebMD, adopting a healthy diet also has many benefits, and for your brain, it is thought to lower the risk of cognitive decline. What constitutes a healthy diet? Plenty of fruit, vegetables, and fatty fish such as salmon, trout, and sardines. There are a number of other so-called superfoods that can help maintain your brain health. These include coffee, blueberries, turmeric, broccoli, pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate, nuts, oranges, eggs, and green tea.

The Growth of Online Gambling in New Jersey

CNBNewsnet graphics file

(CNBNewsnet)(November 21, 2018)--It’s no secret that the online gambling industry has grown rapidly over the past two years and with its development, online casinos are practicing new acquisition techniques to sweeten the sign up deals. But what does this mean for New Jersey? As it stands, not all states are allowed to obtain a gambling license due to restrictive laws set in place by the US government. In January 2011, the New Jersey Legislature passed a bill allowing online gambling to commence in the state. The law however mentions that online gamblers need to be 21 years of age or older. Now only a few years later we see the successful development of online casinos and also New Jersey online players hitting an impressive winning streak.

In February 2018, New Jersey marked its second consecutive month for setting records for mass gross revenue, clearly indicating a prosperous year ahead. Just a few months ago, New Jersey online casino operators brought in over $25 million in gross gaming revenue, the highest statistics ever achieved since online gambling became legal in the state. This no doubt made international news, and thus increasing the amount of traffic generated by online NJ casinos.

As cold weather prevails, water temperatures are dropping, which is limiting some fishing opportunities but is expanding others. Many of our resident fisheries are in transition — striped bass fishing is still good but slowing down, white perch are active but now are schooled up in deeper water. Trout fishing is very good as is fishing for walleye, yellow perch, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and chain pickerel. At the coastal areas, summer species are being replaced by cold water fish such as sea bass and tautog.

An often overlooked species is our catfish in Maryland, and cooler water temperatures tend to kick their feeding activity into high gear. We have two native species of catfish in Maryland, the white and the bullhead. Introduced catfish species are the channel, flathead and blue catfish.
