Muriungi Mastermind intriguing story
1. His wife went to the us and had a Mpango wa kando when she died in 2012 she sent a lawyer from the us with instructions on how she was to be buried one of the instruction was that her husband billionaire Murungi was not to see her body. She had fallen sick in the us where she had gone to live after they had returned from the us in the 80s. She simply went back
2. Another instruction was that non of her children was to marry. That has been followed to the latter.
3. His handler and trusted ally after his wife’s drama and running to the us was and his last Born brother a 65 year old Mr mutegi who has been largely blamed for mismanagement of his burial of the billionaire. Even in death mutegi blocked people from paying their last respects to a man they fondly called master, their employer and their champion.
– he lead a quiet life but was involved deeply in mount Kenya foundation(Mt Kenya mafia) to fund campaigns for presidential candidates and recently buying of cars for central Kenya provincial administration. He’s an instrumental person in the group
In recent years he changed alot and became very reclusive. In 80s and 90s he used to hang around the village with his childhood friends and family which changed drastically and he became very private.
His death came at a time the area MP was battling with him to snatch a contract a company associated with him to build the road that also passe near his home. It’s so intriguing and confusing no-one on the family can tell you why he was buried That way.
We are also informed that While his children buried his wife Joyce Ithiru Murungi, the Mastermind owner went to his mom’s home and stayed there while the burial was taking place less than a kilometre away in his palatial home.

Cobden High School gym built in 1955 ruled condemned
COBDEN, Ill. (KFVS) - The Cobden School District is looking at a major project in the near future.
The high school needs to replace its gym, which was built in the mid-1950s.
In fact, Cobden’s gym has been home to the Appleknockers since 1955, and now it’s in need of a major renovation.
“Found there was a 10-inch deflection in one of the walls, and also some deterioration of our supporting beams of the roof,” said Edwin Shoemate, superintendent of the Cobden School District.
He said in April 2021, one of the school’s maintenance staff was on the roof and heard an unusual noise. He said that was the beginning of the end.
Months later, the high school gym is now condemned due to structural damage.
The hard part for the school will be finding a different venue for its athletes.
Shoemate said they still want their teams to feel like they are playing at home.
“So, we are trying to make sure we provide some type of home court advantage for our kids. Junior high sports will be played in the small gym. Both girls’ basketball, boys’ basketball and volleyball. We’re looking at high school volleyball using Jonesboro Elementary gym, so some school’s districts have reached out,” Shoemate said.
Due to both locker rooms being condemned, students are not even dressing for PE.
Cobden’s boys’ basketball coach Wendell Wheeler explained how different this upcoming season will be.
“I mean, obviously, you know the stuff right off the top. You don’t have your home gym, the biggest thing is the inconvenience, and you don’t have your routine,” he said.
Wheeler said the school is looking at neutral courts for Appleknocker home games.
We asked Wheeler what his teams’ initial thoughts were when they were told the news.
“We had hoped that we’d get one more year in, but I tell ya, after I think part of it, they handled it so much better than you would think because of last year,” he said.
But time has run out. The school is in need of a new gym.
Shoemate said they have already been working with local lawmakers.
“We are on hold. We’ve gone and looked at a couple of gyms that we really liked. Our architect has come up with a couple of designs that they put together for us, but the big thing is going to be state dollars. We’ve applied for emergency funding,” he said.
Shoemate knows the Appleknockers’ legacy will continue, even in a new facility.
“So just the thought of it coming down, I know a lot of people are upset and shedding tears over that. But we are going to have a brand-new facility, where we are going to pull a lot of that history in and incorporate it in that facility,” said Shoemate.
He said it will be less expensive to build a new gym that would it be to renovate the current facility.

The Honduran girl, 7 years old and surrounded by strangers in the pre-dawn darkness, was determined to keep pace with the other migrants headed for the U.S. border.
Her father, she told an Associated Press journalist, had traveled with her by bus for 22 days across Mexico. Then, he went back to their homeland -- but not before he placed her in the hands of a young man who was to help her cross the river into Texas.
"He just said to go on my own and take care of myself," she said.
What happened to the man who was to be her guide is unclear, but the pony-tailed girl met up with a group and pressed on, vigorously swinging her arms to keep up as they trekked north through the Rio Grande Valley on Sunday under a half-moon. Temperatures had dipped into the mid-50s; the girl wore a yellow jacket decorated with cartoonish drawings of trains, and a black mask to protect her from COVID-19.
The AP is not using the girl's name. It does not normally name children without permission from their parents, and the identity of her father could not be obtained.
But her journey illustrates the extraordinary risks taken by migrant parents to get their children across the border, even if it means abandoning them for the most perilous part of the trip.
These desperate decisions represent a dilemma for the fledgling administration of President Joe Biden as it attempts to restore an orderly asylum system: In trying to adopt a more humane approach to protect minors traveling alone, more children may be put at risk.
Nearly 9,500 migrant children arrived at the border in February, up 60% from a month earlier. The government is rushing to set up more facilities to house them and speeding up the process to place them with relatives in the U.S. The city and county of San Diego said Monday that its downtown convention center would host migrant children for an average of 30 to 35 days.
Single adults are almost always expelled, while families are sometimes expelled and sometimes allowed to remain in the United States to pursue asylum.
The girl did reach the United States. A fellow Honduran migrant, 25-year-old Fernanda Solis, said she found her crying alone on a dirt path north of the Rio Grande after midnight, as a helicopter hovered overhead and border agents addressed migrants through a loudspeaker.
Solis tried to comfort the girl, who was cold, hungry and thirsty. She told her they could walk together to turn themselves over to Border Patrol agents and seek asylum.
The girl gained confidence as she walked a route commonly used by Central American migrants. She answered questions unhesitatingly: She turns 8 next month. She should be going into third grade, though she did not complete second because of the pandemic.
She pressed ahead to a country where she knows no one but a family member in South Carolina.
"That's how she acts. She is brave," Solis said.
The girl said her father had no more money to cross the border with her.
"He lost his job," she said, simply.
Solis said she was able to gather that the girl's father had recently tried to cross with her, but they were both quickly expelled back to Reynosa, Mexico, under pandemic-related powers the Trump administration invoked. Biden has kept the powers -- known as Title 42 for the section of an obscure public health law -- in place.
"The girl told me they had tried to cross together, but they were returned. This time, he just sent the girl for her to turn herself in," Solis said.
A federal judge halted expulsions of unaccompanied children in November, after the Trump administration had turned back at least 8,800. But an appeals court panel of three Trump-appointed judges ruled in January that they could resume. Biden, in a break with Trump, decided to release children to relatives with notices to appear in immigration courts.
The Honduran girl turned herself over to Customs and Border Protection; the agency did not respond to a request for information about her whereabouts.
Her story is being repeated again and again along the border. On Sunday, a Salvadoran man approached a journalist to ask whether his 13-year-old daughter would qualify to stay if she crossed on her own.
"The parents are saying 'We are not going to make it. We have to be very realistic here, but if I send my child up to the bridge, and they cross alone, they'll have to take them in,'" said Jennifer Harbury, a Texas-based human rights advocate.

We can all feel lonely sometimes for many different reasons, including at times of difficult change in our lives, such as moving to a new city, because of relationships or friendships ending, or because of a bereavement. Sometimes, we can feel lonely even if we are around lots of people or have lots of friends.
It can be hard to find friends who get us or can relate to our experiences. Social media can make us feel extremely isolated, especially if we are being bullied or feel disconnected from the ‘perfect lives’ we see. Even if we have loads of followers, it can feel like everyone else is surrounded by friends and loved ones and having a good time; this can make things feel much harder when we are feeling alone and not sure who to turn to for support.
Loneliness can be difficult to cope with and can start to affect our mental health, making us feel sad, depressed, or giving us feelings of low self-esteem. Sometimes, if we are already struggling with our mental health it can feel difficult for us to interact with our loved ones in the way we usually do. This can then make us feel isolated and lonely when we didn’t feel this way before. But life doesn’t have to be this way; if you’re feeling lonely, there are things you can do to feel better.

Amino Vida – vegan amino acid complex with nine amino acids
Amino Vida contains nine free crystalline amino acids in a perfect combination. The amino acids of highest purity are obtained naturally from pulses, are vegan and additive-free. Amino Vida provides the human body with an optimal amino acid combination and is almost calorie free. It is bio-available to the body shortly after ingestions. Amino Vida is an ideal amino acid nutrition for athletes and people who would like to supplement their bodies essential amino acid supply.
Amino Vida contains all eight essential amino acids as well as the semi-essential amino acid arginine. Essential means, that the amino acids are vital to our well-being and cannot be produced by the body itself. L-arginine is deemed semi-essential as it can be synthesised by the human body. In certain circumstances (e.g., age, growth phases, diseases, or physical activity), L-arginine can also become essential to the body.
High protein content
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Amino Vida has a high protein content. Proteins contribute to the maintenance and increase of muscle mass.
Ideal for people with increased requirements
Amino Vida is ideal for people with increased requirements, for example:
- Athletes or those with heavy physical demands
- Vegetarians or vegans
- Special dietary nutrition programs
- For increased absorption of essential amino acids
Amino Vida reduces the sensation of pain by 18.4%
A recent study shows: Amino Vida reduces the pain perception of people with chronic musculoskeletal pain by 18.4%. Further information in the tab “Studies and articles”.
Properties of Amino Vida – EAA
- Amino Vida provides an optimal ratio of all eight essential amino acids for the human nutritional system. (L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine, L-Lysine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Threonine, L-Methionine, L-Tryptophan).
- Amino Vida also contains the semi-essential amino acid L-Arginine. It is deemed semi-essential because L-arginine can be synthesised by the human body. Under certain circumstances (e.g. depending on age, growth phases, diseases or physical activity) this semi-essential amino acid can also become essential for the body.
- Amino Vida contains the protein building blocks (amino acids) in hydrolysed form. This means small, short individual building blocks are available instead of long protein fragments. In this way they are better absorbed and utilised more efficiently than the long protein chains.
- Due to its hydrolysed form, Amino Vida is an ideal protein supplier for people with kidney and liver problems.
- Amino Vida is almost calorie-free (only 0.5 kcal in 10 pellets).
- 99% of Amino Vida is utilised in the body to build muscles.
- Amino Vida only produces 1% nitrogen waste. This is a very low value when compared to other protein sources.
Amino acids and proteins
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are assembled in the body to form long protein or protein chains. These are amongst the most important components of the human body and control a large number of essential processes. The best possible renewal of cells, muscles, bones and organs, i.e. the life of the body, depends on an adequate supply of proteins and their building blocks, the amino acids.
Protein supplement especially also for vegans and vegetarians
For people with vegan or vegetarian lifestyles, it is not always easy to intake the daily proteins needed by the body with their meals. Animal products are a valued source of protein that is lost. Legumes are a good vegan alternative. However, a lot of discipline is needed to reach the recommended daily protein dose. Especially vegan athletes know this problem. The daily protein requirement is twice as high for people who do sports every day and for top athletes as for normal people. Amino Vida is a suitable protein supplier to compensate for protein deficiencies.
New formula Amino Vida from June 2018!
We only use hydrolysed amino acids in Amino Vida. Without adhesives. Without additives. Without auxiliary substances. This had the disadvantage that the tablets do not stay whole for long when exposed to air. We have invested a lot in our product development to improve the formula to improve stability successfully. We achieved this without adding any additives, yet maintaining the same price as before.

Amino Vida reduces subjective pain perception by 18.4% in only 8 weeks
40 volunteers with chronic musculoskeletal pain aged between 40 and 65 years received 16 Amino Vida tablets (8 g) or a placebo daily for 8 weeks. The study was randomized (the subjects were randomly divided into two groups, one receiving amino vida, the other a placebo) and double-blind (neither the subjects nor the researchers knew who belonged to which group).
Before and after the study, the subjects were asked about their subjective pain sensation using a questionnaire. While in the placebo group, pain sensation increased on a pain scale of 0 to 10 by 10.75% on average, pain sensation in the Amino Vida group decreased by 18.4% on average.

Kleinfelder provided complete structural design for the $70 million North Regional Tertiary Treatment Plant (NRTTP) at the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton (MCBCP). The final design for this 4 million-gallon-per-day (MGD) facility reduces impacts on highly sensitive ecological areas.
In addition to being on a seismically prone site, this Southern California area is an environmentally sensitive habitat, creating design and construction challenges. Kleinfelder needed to keep this in mind as it planned this massive, complex water treatment site. The project included a challenging top-heavy headworks building with a liquid containment basin on the upper floor and an underground-level buoyance uplift force in the equalization basin. An aggressive submittal schedule meant quick, clear thinking to design on time.
With key experts leading the structural design team, Kleinfelder followed code to develop a successful treatment and subsequent reclamation process. The team addressed the challenging headworks structure with an aerated grit chamber to match structural limitations, and while using four sequencing batch reactor (SBR) treatment processes with high efficient blowers in optimal configuration to help reduce impacts on the surrounding environment. Once treated, the reclaimed wastewater can be used in irrigation.
Kleinfelder’s solution helped enable future growth for MCBCP, in terms of housing and new training facilities. By providing a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment facility, our team helped improve the quality of lives for enlisted men and women for years to come.

Winter is a hard time for color lovers. Wardrobes turn dark and drab along with the landscape. Daylight dwindles. I start to wonder whether my coat has become a second skin!
One easy way to fight the winter doldrums is with bright knit accessories! A festive hat or scarf in an unexpected shade adds a delightful pop of color to an otherwise neutral winter outfit. Luckily for us dyers, KNOMAD has so many beautiful bare yarn options perfect for next to skin wear. One of my favorites is a glowy single-ply yarn called EGRET. Spun from super soft organic merino wool, EGRET is a fingering weight, which means finding a pattern for this yarn is a piece of cake! And have I mentioned how soft it is? This light and airy yarn is a delight to wear.
I’m dyeing up a single skein of EGRET in a highlighter yellow shade. I plan to make a cute beanie with these 437 yards, and I think I can get away with it! Can you help me out by recommending a pattern in the comments?
In the meantime, learn how to dye the yarn for this bright topper below!
Loop a zip tie around each skein of yarn, if you are using them. Soak the yarn in lukewarm water with a dash of citric acid for about 1 hour.
Make sure to always protect yourself with gloves and a respirator whenever you work with dye in its powder form. A dust mask is not enough protection to safely work with dye powder! You should keep your own set of tools for dyeing. These tools should never be used to prepare or serve food.
Use the gram scale to weigh out the dye and citric acid in a cup. I used .5 grams of dye and .5 grams of citric acid powder for each skein of yarn. Add hot water to the cup and use the spoon to mix the whole thing together.
Remove the skein from the soaking liquid, gently squeezing the excess liquid out of the yarn. Place the skein in the pan, pressing it down and spreading out the yarn so as much surface area as possible is exposed to the dye. Add 6 cups of the soaking liquid to the pan, or just enough to barely cover the yarn.
Sprinkle the dye mix over the yarn. Use your hands and/or the back of a spoon to work the dye into the yarn. Make sure to wear gloves when you do this!
Cover the pan and heat the yarn for 15 minutes.
Allow the yarn to cool completely.
Rinse and dry the yarn as you normally would. Enjoy your finished yarn! Make sure to tag us using #Knomadyarn so we can see all your fabulous projects.

What Should Health Care Professionals Do
Health care professionals should consider the risks and benefits of montelukast when deciding to prescribe or continue patients on the medicine. Counsel all patients receiving montelukast about mental health side effects, and advise them to stop the medicine and contact a health care professional immediately if they develop any symptoms included but not limited to those listed in the table above. Be aware that some patients have reported neuropsychiatric events after discontinuation of montelukast.
Only prescribe montelukast for allergic rhinitis in patients who have an inadequate response or intolerance to alternative therapies.
Natural And Alternative Treatments
If youre experiencing contact dermatitis but dont want to use prescription or OTC medications, there are some alternative treatments that may be effective. These include:
- Coconut oil, which has been shown to limit the growth of harmful skin bacteria, also has strong moisturizing properties when applied topically. Use cautiously though, as there have been cases of allergic reactions caused by coconut
- Vitamin E applied topically, which can provide relief from both itching and inflammation.
- Honey, applied topically, has antibacterial and antiseptic properties.
You should stop any alternative treatment immediately if you have a negative reaction.

What To Expect From Allergy Shots For Asthma
Before you get allergy shots for asthma, your doctor will want to do allergy testing. This is a way of finding out which allergens affect you. It will probably involve skin testing, in which a small amount of the allergen is scraped onto or injected under your skin. Allergy shots aren’t available for every kind of allergy.
Allergy shots for asthma include shots for:
Once you and your doctor have discovered which allergens affect you, the next step is to get the shots. The frequency of the injections varies, but you might get them once or twice a week for the first three to six months — or until you reach the maximum dose. After that, you might only need maintenance injections every two to four weeks. This might continue for three to five years. Although some people feel asthma symptom relief from their allergy injections quickly, it may take up to a year for others. In some people, allergy shots have no effect.
Additional Information For Patients And Parents/caregivers
- FDA is requiring a Boxed Warning stating that serious mental health side effects that may include suicidal thoughts or actions have been reported in patients taking the asthma and allergy medicine montelukast .
- Most reported cases occurred during montelukast treatment, but some occurred after stopping the medicine. In many cases, symptoms resolved after stopping montelukast however, in some cases symptoms continued after stopping.
- Serious mental health side effects have occurred in patients with and without a history of mental illness.
- Talk with your health care professional about the benefits and risks of montelukast, as many other safe and effective allergy medicines are widely available, including over-the-counter ones, without a prescription. These include antihistamines such as loratadine , fexofenadine , cetirizine , levocetirizine , and diphenhydramine , as well as steroid nasal sprays such as fluticasone , triamcinolone , and budesonide . Alternatively, allergen immunotherapy, also known as allergy shots, has been shown to decrease symptoms of allergic rhinitis. A pharmacist or other health care professional can help you decide which might be best.
- Stop taking montelukast and notify a health care professional right away if you or your child experience behavior or mood-related changes while taking the medicine. These may include:
- agitation, including aggressive behavior or hostility
- attention problems

Products Contraindicated With Asthma
Asthma was once a labeled contraindication for allnonprescription products containing first-generation antihistamines. Therationale behind this labeled contraindication was discussed by an OTCreview panel appointed to examine antihistamines in its original 1976report: The Panel is aware that a controversy exists concerning the useof antihistamines in patients with bronchial asthma where a dryingaction is undesirable. Many physicians consider this effect to bedisadvantageous in patients with bronchial asthma and some maintain thatthe antihistaminic drugs are contraindicated in patients with thisdisease.2 Products carried this label for years. In 1985,the FDA published a tentative final monograph for antihistamines,agreeing with the need for this label.3
In 1992, however, the FDA published its final rule on labeling for nonprescription first-generation antihistamines.4In this document, the agency described the conclusions of a 1990meeting of the FDAs Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee.Participants believed that first-generation antihistamines did not havesufficient anticholinergic effects to be problematic for those withasthma, removing the term asthma from the warnings. Second-generationantihistamines have never beenrequired to carry an asthma warning.

What Are Cetirizine And Loratadine
Cetirizine is a non-sedating . It is similar to other second-generation antihistamines including loratadine , and . Histamine is a chemical responsible for many of the signs and symptoms of allergic reactions such as swelling of the lining of the nose, sneezing, and eyes. Certirizine blocks one type of receptor for histamine and prevents activation of H1 receptor-containing cells by histamine. Unlike first generation antihistamines, cetirizine and other second-generation antihistamines do not readily enter the brain from the blood so they cause less drowsiness though cetirizine may cause more drowsiness than other second-generation antihistamines.
Loratadine is a long-acting, non-sedating antihistamine used to treat . Loratadine blocks one type of histamine receptor and thus prevents activation of cells with H1 receptors by histamine. Unlike some antihistamines, loratadine does not enter the brain from the blood and does not cause drowsiness when taken at recommended doses.

What Are The Symptoms Of Allergic Rhinitis
Most people with allergic rhinitis have a blocked or runny nose. Some also have sneezing and itching in the nose and back of throat. Allergic rhinitis can also make the eyes itchy, red and teary. Not everyone with allergic rhinitis has all these symptoms.
People with asthma may not recognise that they also have allergic rhinitis, because the symptoms can be mistaken for asthma. For this reason, Australian and international guidelines for doctors recommend that people with asthma should be checked for allergic rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis can occur all year round, or just at certain times of year.

Virtually allnonprescription products have contraindications, and a variety of theserefer to patients with respiratory problems such as asthma, wheezing,emphysema, or chronic bronchitis.1 When the pharmacist isaware that a particular patient has been diagnosed with a respiratoryproblem, it can be vital to advise against use of contraindicatedproducts, unless a physician has suggested that the patient use them.
Your Guide To Understanding Eczema
Eczema is a common itchy, inflamed skin condition that affects 11 percent of all children and 5 percent of adults in the U.S.
If you have eczema, its likely that someone else in your family does too. Its seen most often in people with allergic conditions. In fact, about 70 percent of people with ongoing eczema have a history of allergies such asthma, seasonal allergies or hay fever or other allergies. Eczema starts early in life 85 percent of people with eczema had it start before the age of 5 and 60 percent have it as infants before the age of one. While there is no cure for eczema, with proper skin care and topical ointments if needed, it can be managed well.

How Do Doctors Determine If A Person Has Allergic Asthma
The most definitive sign of allergic asthma that can help a doctor diagnose the condition is if a person experiences asthmatic symptoms after exposure to an allergen.
If factors other than allergens, such as exercise or respiratory infections, trigger a persons symptoms, they may have a different type of asthma.
A person with allergic asthma should prioritize avoiding any known triggers to help control the condition. This may include:
- avoiding pets whose dander causes allergic reactions
- keeping dust to a minimum by regularly dusting their home with damp rags and washing clothes and other soft items regularly
- using allergen-proof bed coverings on mattresses and pillows to help keep dust mites off bedding
- vacuuming the home regularly to rid it of dust mites and cockroaches
- treating any sources of mold
- washing bedding regularly at a high water temperature to remove mites and other substances that may cause an allergic reaction
Asthma can be a long-term condition, although people may control and, in some cases, reverse asthma symptoms with treatment. In some people with long-term asthma, airways may narrow permanently and cause persistent problems breathing comfortably.
A person may need additional treatment for any conditions they have alongside allergic asthma, such as:
Wheezing Warnings On Nonprescription Products
Wheezing is defined as a high-pitched whistling sound thatis audible when the patient inhales and exhales, caused by air flowingthrough constricted airways.11 Wheezing is common withasthma, so much so that when the FDA requires labels to warn against usein asthma, the word wheezing must follow in parentheses.12
Despite the FDA requirement that asthma and wheezing beintertwined on some OTC product labels , wheezing is acomponent of many other medical problems. They include accidentalaspiration of a foreign object into the lungs, bronchiectasis,bronchiolitis, bronchitis, emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonarydisease ,gastroesophageal reflux, heart failure/cardiac asthma, an allergicreaction to an insect sting, reactions to medications ,pneumonia, smoking, or a viral infection, especially when the patient isan infant younger than 2 years of age.11 Since the communitypharmacist is not trained to perform the examination required toestablish a diagnosis, patients with wheezing must be referred.
As mentioned above, salicylates and other nonprescriptionnonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs contain a warning againstuse with wheezing, in the context of the constellation of symptoms thatindicate an allergic reaction to the medications. Cromolyn also carries alabel warning against use in wheezing.5 Cromolyn would be ineffective treatment for any one of the multiple causes of wheezing as listed above.

Other Things You Can Do
Saline rinses: Your doctor may recommend that you use a salt water solution daily to help clear your nose and soothe the lining of the nose. Syringes and rinse bottles are available from pharmacies.
Avoid smoke: People with allergic rhinitis should not smoke and should avoid other peoples cigarette smoke. Smoking makes asthma and rhinitis worse, and can prevent medicines from working properly. Bushfires and wood smoke may also worsen allergic rhinitis and asthma.
Avoid allergens: Your doctor can help you work out which allergens trigger your allergic rhinitis and asthma. Try to avoid your allergy triggers if you can. See Avoiding allergens for tips.
If medication does not clear a badly blocked nose, doctors may occasionally recommend a surgical operation called turbinate reduction. Surgery is not a cure for rhinitis, but may help with symptoms in severe cases.
Before taking any medication for allergic rhinitis, you should tell your doctor or pharmacist if:
- you have any other medical conditions or are pregnant
- you are taking any other medicines
- you have been experiencing nose bleeds.
Question: How Do I Choose An Over
Dr. James: For many years, people used diphenhydramine as an antihistamine for their allergies. But for many reasons, this medicine is not a good choice to take for allergy symptoms because of its short-term action to manage symptoms and several known negative side effects. The major side effects of diphenhydramine include drowsiness, sedation, and fatigue. It can also impair alertness, concentration, multitasking, and memory. In turn, this antihistamine can affect important functions, such as learning and test performance in children, as well as operation of machinery and cars in adults.
Diphenhydramine and related short-acting antihistamines should be avoided.
Fortunately, there are many newer over-the-counter antihistamines available that work much better, are longer acting, and are safer than diphenhydramine. These newer antihistamines are less likely to have major clinical side effects compared to older antihistamines like diphenhydramine. Also, these newer medicines do not carry the risk of toxicity and death that has been associated with older antihistamines. Finally, regarding the use of antihistamines in pregnancy, cetirizine and loratadine are the medicines of choice.
Important note: If you are experiencing symptoms of a severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, the recommended treatment is epinephrine .
What Are My Treatment Options For Allergic Asthma
Allergic asthma is a long-term condition, but also involves episodes, or attacks, when youll need quick relief.
Your doctor may recommend both ongoing and short-term treatments to reduce symptoms. Theyll typically start by determining the severity of your symptoms before recommending specific treatments.
Oral Or Iv Corticosteroids
When inhaled agents are not sufficient for asthma control, a course of oral corticosteroids might be given short-term during asthma exacerbations or given intravenously during severe acute attacks.
Common side effects can include enhanced energy, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, increased appetite, altered blood sugar levels, and weight gain.

Safe Dose Of Benadryl For Dogs
If you decide that Benadryl is the right option for your dog, it is essential to stick to the correct dosage. Giving your dog too much can result in an overdose.
The amount of Benadryl largely depends on your dogs weight. Generally, it is recommended to give your dog 2-4 mg of Childrens Liquid Benadryl for every kilogram of body weight. Thats approximately 1 mg per 1 pound of bodyweight.
You should always start with the lowest dose and work your way up as needed. Benadryl takes about 30 minutes to work.
It is always a good idea to work with your vet when administering a new medication to your dog. Your dogs current drugs, health conditions, and age can affect their Benadryl dosage.
Oral And Topical Antibiotics
In some cases, worsening atopic dermatitis can be a result of a skin infection or colonization with a common bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, and a course of antibiotics against this type of bacteria is required. Itâs usually safe to continue the use of topical steroids even if the eczema is infected.
Topical antibiotics are typically enough for localized infections of eczema while oral antibiotics may be needed for infections involving larger areas of skin.

Food Allergies And Eczema
Children with eczema are also more likely to have food allergies. They often make eczema symptoms worse for kids but not for adults. If you have eczema, eating â or just touching â certain foods can make your skin flare up. Food allergies linked to eczema may include:
- Cowâs milk and other dairy products
How can you tell which foods cause flare-ups? Sometimes, the best way is to look for skin symptoms after you eat that food. Your doctor can also give you a test called a food challenge. You eat the food that you think may cause the symptoms, and your doctor watches for a reaction.
What About Medicines For Blood Pressure
Beta-blockers, used to control blood pressure and heart disease, can make asthma worse. This group of drugs includes propranolol, atenolol, and metoprolol. If you have started taking a beta-blocker and your asthma gets worse, tell your doctor.
ACE inhibitors are another type of medicine given to treat blood pressure, heart disease and, sometimes, diabetes. Drugs such as captopril, enalapril, and lisinopril are included in this group. These medicines appear to be safe for people who have asthma. However, some people develop a cough when taking ACE inhibitors. If you start coughing while youre taking an ACE inhibitor, remember that the cough might not be caused by your asthma. If the cough is caused by the ACE inhibitor, it will usually go away a week or so after you stop taking the medicine. If you develop other problems that make your asthma worse, call your doctor to see if you should stop taking your ACE inhibitor.

If you want to cover all your bases when you are planning for the future you have to consider the age and personal proclivities of the people that you have on your inheritance list. It is not always as simple as a direct transfer of assets with no strings attached.
When it comes to adults on the list there could be people with personal problems or a history of poor money management. You can account for these personality traits by actions such as the creation of an incentive trust or spendthrift trust that includes stipulations that protect and guide the beneficiary.
For example you could require that an individual who has a history of substance abuse difficulties complete a treatment program and submit to regular testing as conditions that must be met before distributions will be made.
When it comes to minor children you have a couple of different options and there are two different levels to consider here. If you are the parent of minor children you may not have had the time to accumulate significant resources that can be specifically set aside for the children in the event of your untimely death.
This situation can be resolved by the purchase of life insurance. You could set up your will to divert the life insurance proceeds into a trust, or you could name a custodian to handle the funds for the benefit of the children under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act.
People who are older who are likely to pass away when their grandchildren or great-grandchildren are still minors may want to set up a trust or trusts that these individuals can draw from. You could be as detailed as you would like to be with regard to how you would like the funds distributed over the course of their lives.
To find out the best way to provide for minor children given the specifics of your unique situation, get in touch with an experienced estate planning attorney to arrange for a consultation.

Japanese steel knives are renowned for their exceptional sharpness, precision, and craftsmanship.
However, their unique composition requires special care and maintenance compared to ordinary knives.
In this blog post, we will delve into the world of Japanese steel knives and explore the essential practices to ensure their longevity and optimal performance.
From proper cleaning techniques to honing and sharpening methods, let's unravel the secrets of caring for these exquisite blades and empower you to become a guardian of Japanese steel craftsmanship.
Understanding Japanese Steel Knives
The Artistry of Japanese Knives: Japanese steel knives are the result of centuries-old traditions, blending masterful craftsmanship with high-quality materials to create functional works of art.
Composition and Characteristics: Japanese steel knives often feature harder steel with a higher carbon content, resulting in extraordinary sharpness, durability, and edge retention.
Delicate Balance: The hardness of Japanese steel knives makes them susceptible to chipping and corrosion, requiring careful attention and specialised care routines.
Cleaning and Storing Japanese Steel Knives
Hand Washing Only: Japanese steel knives should always be washed by hand with warm water and a mild detergent immediately after use. Avoid soaking or using abrasive materials that can damage the blade.
Drying Techniques: Thoroughly dry the knives with a soft cloth to prevent moisture build-up, which can lead to rust formation. Avoid air-drying or leaving the knives in a damp environment.
Proper Storage: Store Japanese steel knives in a knife block, a wooden sheath, or a blade guard to protect them from accidental damage and ensure they remain dry and secure.
Honing and Sharpening Techniques
Honing: Regular honing helps maintain the knife's edge alignment and keeps it performing at its best. Use a honing rod or ceramic honing stone, holding the knife at a 15-20 degree angle, and gently glide the blade along the rod or stone.
Sharpening: Japanese steel knives require periodic sharpening to restore their keen edge. Invest in high-quality sharpening stones, such as whetstones, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for optimal results.
Professional Sharpening: If you're unsure about sharpening the knives yourself, consider consulting a professional knife sharpener who specialises in Japanese steel knives to ensure the best outcome.
Cutting Surfaces: Japanese steel knives should be used on appropriate cutting surfaces, such as wooden or plastic cutting boards, to minimise the risk of chipping or dulling the blade.
Proper Technique: Mastering proper knife techniques, including gentle slicing and avoiding excessive lateral pressure, helps maintain the knife's edge and reduces the likelihood of accidents.
Regular Maintenance: Keep a consistent care routine for your Japanese steel knives, regularly inspecting for any signs of damage, and promptly addressing any issues to prevent further deterioration.
Caring for Japanese steel knives is a labour of love that ensures their longevity and exceptional performance.
By adhering to proper cleaning techniques, storing them correctly, and mastering the art of honing and sharpening, you can safeguard the beauty and functionality of these remarkable blades.
Remember, the delicate balance of Japanese steel requires special attention, but the rewards are worth it – a knife that remains sharp, precise, and a testament to the craftsmanship of Japanese knife artisans.
Embrace the responsibility of caring for your Japanese steel knives and indulge in the artistry they bring to your culinary journey.

(KRON) — The Alameda Police Department is urging parents to talk to their children about the risks of joining social media trends after numerous bystanders have been shot by BB guns since late July.
The incidents mainly occurred between the afternoon and early evening hours, police said. The bystanders shot with the BB guns were not seriously injured, however, other law enforcement agencies have reported pellets striking victims in the eyes and causing other injuries.
Police believe the BB gun shootings are connected to a social media trend that encourages people to shoot at complete strangers. In some instances, the BB guns were altered to look like a real gun, APD said.

Top two seeds and tournament favourites Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic are still on track to meet in the final of the World Tour Finals in London (advised 11/4). Djokovic won all three of his John McEnroe Group matches to easily qualify for Saturday’s semi-finals where he could face either, Murray, Nishikori or Wawrinka depending on the results of today’s final John McEnroe Group matches.
Murray just has to win a set against Stan Wawrinka (advised 14/1) at 2pm today to guarantee winning the Ivan Lendl Group and reach the semi-finals, where he would face Milos Raonic, who defeated Dominic Thiem 7-6 6-3 yesterday to finish runner up in the John McEnroe group. I can see Murray winning a set against Wawrinka, but really struggling physically and mentally after his epic long match against Nishikori on Wednesday night and it’s definitely worth opposing Murray on the exchanges (1/3).
If Murray loses in straight sets against Wawrinka and Nishikori loses against Cilic, then Murray and Wawrinka would qualify for the semi-finals and first and second place would be decided by their sets and games won record. However, it’s unlikely Nishikori will lose against Cilic today as Cilic cannot qualify and given his form this week, and I see Nishikori winning in straight sets (13/8). If he does and Murray loses in straight sets then Nishikori would win there group and play Raonic, while Murray would have to play Djokovic, which would be a straight shoot out for the number one ranking, as it would be if they met in Sunday’s final.

Best Essential Oils For Sunburn
Are you tired of dealing with the pain and discomfort of sunburn? Look no further! In this article, we will explore the best essential oils that can provide relief and promote healing for sunburned skin.
What Causes Sunburn?
Sunburn occurs when the skin is exposed to excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources, such as tanning beds. This exposure damages the DNA in skin cells and triggers an inflammatory response, resulting in redness, pain, and peeling.
How Can Essential Oils Help With Sunburn?
When used properly, certain essential oils can provide relief and promote healing for sunburned skin. They possess anti-inflammatory, soothing, and moisturizing properties that can alleviate discomfort and aid in the recovery process.
Top Essential Oils for Soothing Sunburn
Looking for a speedy solution? Here it is: Aloe Vera, Lavender, and Peppermint essential oils are your go-to choices for sunburn relief. These natural wonders possess anti-inflammatory, cooling, and healing properties that can work wonders on sun-damaged skin. Keep reading to learn how each of these essential oils can offer you some much-needed relief after a day under the sun.
Aloe Vera Essential Oil
- Soothing Power: Aloe vera has been cherished for centuries for its incredible soothing abilities. Aloe vera essential oil takes these benefits up a notch, offering concentrated relief for irritated and sunburned skin.
- Hydration Hero: One of the downsides of sunburn is the moisture loss that leaves your skin feeling dry and tight. Aloe vera essential oil is like a tall glass of water for your skin, providing deep hydration.
- Anti-Peel Protector: Sunburn often leads to peeling skin, which can be quite bothersome. Aloe vera essential oil can help minimize peeling, allowing your skin to heal more comfortably.
- Possible Sensitivity: While aloe vera is generally well-tolerated, some individuals might experience sensitivity to it. It's a good practice to do a patch test before applying it all over your sunburned skin.
Lavender Essential Oil
- Gentle Healing: Lavender essential oil is renowned for its gentle yet powerful healing properties. It can help speed up the skin's natural recovery process, reducing discomfort and promoting healthy skin renewal.
- Stress Relief Bonus: Sunburn can be physically uncomfortable and mentally stressful. Lavender's soothing aroma can help alleviate stress and promote relaxation, contributing to an overall sense of well-being.
- Anti-Itch Ally: Sunburn can sometimes be itchy, adding to your discomfort. Lavender oil's anti-itch properties can provide relief from this annoyance.
- Allergy Caution: Although lavender is considered safe for most people, there's always a slight possibility of an allergic reaction. Perform a patch test to ensure you don't have any adverse reactions.
Peppermint Essential Oil
- Instant Cooling: The menthol in peppermint essential oil delivers a refreshing, cooling sensation to hot, sunburned skin. It's like a burst of icy relief that can quickly alleviate discomfort.
- Anti-Inflammatory Action: Peppermint oil's anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce redness and swelling associated with sunburn, promoting faster healing.
- Energizing Effect: Feeling a bit lethargic after spending too much time in the sun? The invigorating aroma of peppermint can help boost your energy levels.
- Dilution Required: Peppermint oil is potent, and applying it directly to your skin can cause a burning sensation. Always dilute it with carrier oil before use to avoid any discomfort.
Application Tips for Essential Oils
- Dilution is Key: Essential oils are highly concentrated, so always mix them with a carrier oil (like coconut, jojoba, or almond oil) before applying them to your skin.
- Patch Test: Before slathering an essential oil on your sunburn, do a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any adverse reactions.
- Gentle Application: When applying the oil, be gentle. Your skin is already sensitive to sunburn, so avoid any harsh rubbing.
- Stay Hydrated: While essential oils can provide relief, remember to drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body and help your skin heal from within.
When the sun leaves its mark a bit too aggressively, these essential oils are here to rescue your skin. Whether you choose the hydrating embrace of aloe vera, the calming qualities of lavender, or the cooling sensation of peppermint, you're giving your sunburned skin the natural care it craves. Just remember, these oils are powerful allies, but they're not a substitute for proper sun protection. Prevention is key, so next time you're venturing out, slather on that sunscreen and rock that wide-brimmed hat for a worry-free day under the sun!

Democrats aren’t buying Trump’s shutdown-ending ‘compromise’
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump calls it a common-sense compromise, but Democrats are labeling his proposal to end the government shutdown a “non-starter.”
At issue is Trump’s offer to extend temporary protections for young people brought to the U.S. illegally and for those who fled disaster zones. In exchange the president wants the Democrats to vote in favor of $5.7 billion for the wall he seeks between the U.S. and Mexico.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is accusing Trump of taking hostages. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Trump’s proposal contains initiatives already rejected by Democrats.
Despite the uphill battle Trump’s proposal faces in Congress, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he’ll take action on the proposal in the Senate this coming week. McConnell calls it a fair compromise for ending the shutdown.

Compared to other industries, the healthcare industry has been viewed as being years behind in customer engagement and satisfaction. Rising administrative costs and lack of coordination can be two of several reasons contributing to a greater issue about how hospitals and health systems are looking to adapt to patients’ ever-increasing needs and expectations for faster – if not immediate – convenience, efficiency, and transparency.
How can hospitals and health systems not only keep pace and retain clients, but also thrive and grow business in this evolving landscape?
By eliminating time wasted on outdated and inefficient administrative systems, which may include their pickup and delivery service for lab specimens.
The priority of Lab Logistics is to utilize our 100+ years of experience to save time and costs for labs, hospitals, and health systems. With our unique expertise and advanced proprietary technology, we eliminate the worry, frustration, and unnecessary costs in making sure specimens get from point A to point B safely, quickly, and on time. Our seamless courier solutions offer more control and optimization in route tracking, resulting in a consistent on-time service level of 98.5%.
It’s one of several ways we optimize your medical courier transportation so you can focus on optimizing your patients’ overall experience.

Anya of La Chic Soirée was our event planner and designer for our wedding in October 2017 and proved to be the best decision we made. Anya's experience working with various vendors shows in her work and was extremely helpful when choosing vendors' we could trust.
Throughout the entire process Anya ensured that the vision we had for our wedding day came to life. Every detail we discussed was captured beautifully. Her commitment to her clients is invaluable as she always made herself available for questions or suggestions. On the wedding day Anya was incredibly organized and calm which allowed us to enjoy this precious day to the fullest.
After meeting with Anya, I knew she was the perfect match for us.
She knew exactly what I was envisioning, and took it to the next level! We needed to please both Iranian and Italian family members and she was more than capable of meeting both sides needs. We wanted to truly impress our guests and give them something they had never seen before, and she made it happen.
From her amazing list of wonderful vendors to work with, her knowledge of upcoming trends and her amazing attention to detail along the way, she had every aspect of our wedding day covered.
We didn’t have to think twice the day of and she took care of us every step of the day, from opening that church door to last minute guest at the reception. She surprised me with a few decor detail pieces that made such a difference and even helped me fix my dress when it malfunctioned.
Thank you to Anya and the La Chic Soirée team for giving us our dream wedding! It was the most amazing day of our lives and wouldn’t have changed a single thing! Thank you again!

Danny Trejo has been visiting hospitals to donate food to frontline health workers.
The film star brought the team down from his restaurant chain Trejo's Tacos to drop off meals for staff at USC Verdugo Hills Hospital in Los Angeles.
The kind gesture was organised by Colony Cooks, which delivers food from a range of restaurants in the city.
Trejo's Tacos was among a host of eateries that took time out of their regular shifts to donate food as part of an initiative to keep frontline workers going during the pandemic.
The 75-year-old posted a video from his visit, which shows staff putting together boxes of food filled with chicken, steak, rice, and brisket, ready to be handed out.
In the clip, he says: "Right now, I'm in Verdugo Hills Hospital, I'm with the real angels of Los Angeles right now. All the people who are really on the frontline. We can do our part, bring some food, but really they're the ones that are saving lives."
A spokesperson for the hospital thanked Danny and the other restaurants who donated their time and food.
"Enjoyed meeting Danny Trejo today who helps organise #helpfeedthefrontlinesfightingcovid in Los Angeles," they said.
"The restaurants donated food for employees today. The delivery service is called Colony. Thank you to Canters Fairfax, Trejo's Tacos , New York Chicken Gyro, Main Chick and Jack Fruit Cafe order Colony! @colony_cooks #helpfeedthefrontlinefightingcovid @canters_deli @trejostacos @newyorkgyro_ @eatmainchick @jackfruitcafe @docdorian."
Earlier in the week, the Machete star also made a delivery to staff at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, also in LA.
And this isn't the first time we have seen companies come out and support health workers during the Covid-19 crisis.
Over in the UK, KFC announced that it had donated more than 3,000 meals to NHS staff and key workers. Over the last few days, it has continued to donate hundreds more.
Each open restaurant has committed to provide 100 free meals every Tuesday to those working on the frontline.
The fried chicken chain closed its stores by 25 March in-line with the government's guidance on social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.
Now, 11 restaurants across the UK have reopened, offering a limited menu and takeaway only service. A KFC spokesperson confirmed the chain was looking into reopening further restaurants over the coming weeks - but only if it was considered safe to do so.
Burger King also announced it too would be opening again on a takeaway only basis.
On top of that, the fast food giant has agreed to donate 1,000 meals each week to the good folks who are keeping the NHS afloat at this crucial time.

- Devjani Roy Chowdhury, Kolkata (India) (5th Dec’14)
|Loved your new collection. All the pieces are very gorgeous! I am feeling very proud of myself that I discovered Lai at it's initial stages. It has been quite a journey! Occasionally, I look back at all your designs, each piece is so intricately designed, very unique, very Lai. I hope you materialize all those brilliant ideas in your creative brain and make us happy for a long long time :)
-Shalaka Mulherkar (USA) (5th Dec’14)
You are continuing to amaze me with each new collection. I have always love meenakari for the workmanship. Now your designs have certainly brought out the beauty in them.
I recevied the courier!! Thanks a ton!! I'm bowled over :)
You know I have been buying jewellery for a very long time now and for many years i have bought jewellery online...i have a huge collection of silver jewellery.....but i don't have anything like these earrings....or this ring...and you know i have bought jewellery more expensive than this...but these are my favourite thus far...actually when i wrote to you...i wasn't sure whether you'd still have them cos you were taking the last orders in October for this collection...there is a wedding coming up in December and i was desperate...so i checked with a few more online stores for other pieces of jewellery...and had almost placed my order....when i received your response, i cancelled a few of my orders from other designers and booked with you...and i'm so so glad i did.-Neeru Mehta, New Delhi (India) (4th Dec’14)
|I received them today and they are very beautiful, much more than the pictures. I have ordered them for a specific event, will send you the pictures when I wear them and also share the lines I wrote inspired by them as I was trying to save the money for this impromptu purchase I did :)
Thanks so much for this wonderful memoir, something I will treasure and cherish everytime I wear it for it is a reminder of a simple thing for me - I am beautiful and I deserve all the beautiful things in the world.
-Namrata M, Baroda (India) (20th Nov’14)
|The picture and the poem:
This is called "a 55 words poem"
She is the sun, she is the moon.
She is the stars that shine before their arrival too!
She smiles, she dances, she hugs and she cries,
She falls, breaks apart and comes together again!
For she is the grey lining amidst every dark sky,
A phoenix that has spread her wings ready to fly!
- Namrata M, Baroda (India) (1st Dec’14)
The detachable jhumka reached just in time for my 7th marriage anniversary (today!!) and I paired it again with anokhi outfit. The earrings as I said earlier are much more prettier than the images I saw and I loved dressing up on my special day in two of my fav brands - Anokhi & Lai - silver jewellery by Puja Bhargava Kamath
-Sushmita Sarkar, New Delhi (30th Nov'14)
|Received the bracelet on Saturday evening but could not message you as I had to go out and came back late last night. This bracelet was for my daughter and both of us loved it.Ethereal is the word which came to my mind.

Thank yo so much....lots of love.
-Pratibha S (Dubai) (5th Nov'14)
|I loved the jewellery! Other than the way it looks, what I loved about the pieces the most, was the attention to detail and its finish. I love the little Lai engraving on the back of each piece. Very classy, very well done :). Whatever I have worn so far has caught the attention of so many people. I have directed so any people to your site in the last couple of days that Im sure you will be receiving more orders soon. :)
- Ritu Lahiri, Bangalore (India) (30th Oct'14)
|I have to tell you, I just loved the pearl earrings - they look amazing and 'are so me', I think this pair is going to be my favourite pair for awhile now. In fact when I saw them the first time in your look book it was love at first sight (and for someone as indecisive as me that's a huge achievement) and I knew I had to have them. I'm absolutely thrilled with my choice. The whole collection is extremely beautiful, normally I am not very fond of pearls but I loved your all designs. I was wondering which was the most popular design ordered."
-Renuca Williams, Mumbai (India) (30th Oct'14)
|Couldn't wait for the right occasion or time, just wore this beauty today for a movie date with husband. Loved it to the core and no it didn't pose any problem. Though it's little heavy, but who cares as long as it's so very pretty?!
Love you for creating such beauties!
-Devjani Roy Chowdhury, Kolkata (India) (9th Nov'14)
|Received the packet. The earrings are really awesome. Waiting to wear them.
-Pooja Jagadeesh, Bangalore (India) (5th Nov’14)
|I'm totally in love with them! They are so gorgeous!!
Thank you so much for such wonderful creations!
I'm looking forward to get many more beautiful jewellery from your collections!
Loads of love.
-Radhika Prabhu, Thane (India) (5th Nov’14)
|Yes, you were right, it got delivered after I left home on Friday afternoon. I have been looking at it at every opportunity since then :-) It's so very beautiful and wow for the craftsmanship. So delicate, dainty yet so regal, that's the magic of pearl and Lai.
- Devjani Roy Chowdhury, Kolkata (India) (2nd Nov'14)
|I finally got the parcel! All the pieces are just amazing and I'm really looking forward to wearing them. Will send pics, hopefully soon.
I must also tell you, beyond your lovely designs, it's your warmth and personal touch that brings me back to Lai again and again. Your helpful and quick responses to emails and FB messages make buying from Lai a very pleasant experience. I'm sure many others will agree with me.
-Namrata R, Bangalore (India) (30th Oct’14)
|Hi Puja. Just received the pieces. They are absolutely beautiful - both in design and craftsmanship. The gold dipped piece is absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had done the same for the other piece as well. My friend is also very happy with her ring and absolutely loves it. Thank you for everything and keep up the good work.
- Nithya Narayanan (Dubai) (29th Oct’14)
|Thanks Puja, loved the earrings!
-Vidhya Anand, Coimbatore (India) (28th Oct’14)
|Yes, I admit pics quality is a bit terrible sorry :( but just had the mobile phone during the celebs....promise to send a better pic soon!!! Coz I dont need a occasion to flaunt your jewelry hahhaha !!!
Hope you had an awesome Diwali, Puja!!!
-Priya Durairajan (UK) (26th Oct'14)
|I wore the third pair today and I must tell you, it is my son's favourite....he keeps touching them and he also noticed the jacket is from the back. Smarty pants!
They are such terrific combination of classic and modern. My husband said "are you a rock star or what?" :)..that's a compliment for sure....as he doesn't compliment much, so I do feel special when he does!
Picture is attached with your youngest fan!
-Nimisha Sarathy (USA) (26th Oct'14)
|I have received the earrings. All three are beautiful. Specially the paisley one.
I am happy you chose pearls this time. I always feel that silver and pearls have cooling effect. Its like being in the moonlight. Where as gold and diamonds have glittering, warm effect like being in the sunlight. And I feel as a person I am comfortable wearing only silver and pearls. Diamonds sometimes. But gold seldom. What a person wears and can carry can give an insight into personality traits and mind set.
I am sure you must have had a good Diwali. Do keep me posted about your new work.
- Kavita Shah (26 oct’14) [Mumbai]
|What a treat!!! What a fine art!! What magical pieces!! What a georgeous diwali gift!
Each of them made me look like a star. They are so well made that everyone noticed the craftmenship of these earrings.
I got my hands on them in morning (I had long night as I have 15 month old baby) I was so tried and gloomy- but as soon as I put them on they lit my face, I knew right away that they will make me look georgeous and unique in crowd.
I wore one of them at my diwali party. The best compliments I ever got. One of my very honest friend said "I look like an Indian celebrity"!
You have no idea how this feels to a new mom. I struggle every day to look good in my own skin. Struggle to find something which will lit my tried mornings and day. I don't remember anymore how full night sleep feels. These pieces have bought me joy of looking beautiful and georgeous. Attached are few pictures.
A big thank you from a mother! Hugs and happy diwali!
-Nimisha Sarathy (USA) (25th Oct'14)
|An update a few days late. They are lovely, wore the earrings and ring on Diwali and the compliments were flowing. Thanks so much!
- Sarah Gideon, Bangalore (India) (25th Oct’14)
|Got to wear the lovely earrings as we celebrated Diwali! As hard as it was to choose one piece from the collection I couldn't be happier with my choice. A big thank you to all the karigarhs and designers. I am looking forward to seeing more stunning collections :).
-Archana Rana, Chicago (USA) (23rd Oct’14)
|At last, I have managed to snap some photos of myself posing with the Juhmkas from your previous collection. The one with the three photos were taken in Bali . My friend thought that I made them myself as I attended a short silver smithing class there. Lol! I told him that the pair of earrings were made by an artisan and I could not have possibly mastered the art of crafting such pretty earrings within a short period of time..haa.. The other photo with the full set of juhmkas were taken yesterday and I received many compliments from my colleagues! They were amazed at your creativity to make them detachable.
- Joan Wee (Singapore) (22nd Oct’14)
|May the glow of joy,
Prosperity and happiness
Illuminate you life and and your home.
Wishing you and you family a Happy Diwali !
In Singapore, we call the festival 'Deepavali'. I guess it's the same meaning?
I just wanna let you know that I have received the ring and bracelet on this Deepavali afternoon! It was a pleasant surprise because I was expecting to receive them tomorrow morning after I told Fedex to reschedule the delivery time as I was gonna be on leave.
I guess the FedEx people must be working hard to get your jewellery pieces to be delivered on time to your customers.;p
I have already tried them on and they are truly beautiful! Can't wait to wear them in public and show them off to my friends this weekend! :)
Thanks so much for the lovely jewellery that will remain with us for a long time.
Happy holidays! Cheers!
- Joan Wee (Singapore) (22nd Oct’14)
|Got them this evening! They are beautiful! And they reached just in time! Thank you so much!!!
- Arati Punwani, Bangalore (India) (21st Oct’14)
|Tadaaaaaaa I got it, I got!!! I feel I'm jumping on a bouncy castle! hehe! Thanks, Puja! Got the beautiful pieces all intact and way more gorgeous than the pictures (no pun intended to the pictures ;) The craftsmanship is awesome it has to be treasured- no 2 ways about it. The bangle fit me perfect!!! Cant wait to wear it this diwali!!! Special thanks for sending it on time for diwali!!! Uff now im going to get back and relish the jewelry until thursday when I can wear it! :) :)
Hope you have an awesome diwali Puja and pics will soon follow!!! Ok, I couldn't resist and just took a pic of the jewelry to assure you all came fine :) :)
-Priya Durairajan (UK) (20th Oct’14)
|My goodies arrived as promised on Saturday evening and boy! I was tracking the shipment all day :) They are now one of my favourite pieces in my collection. My husband looks at the pearl studs and says " These are beautiful, but you don't like pearls!" That's a compliment to you gurl. I must admit, I don't like pearls and so I'd never bought any for myself, but these were luv at first sight. They look as pretty as they did in your lookbook. Being a crafter myself, I see all the love and the hard work in each piece. I'm already saving to buy some more. I cannot wait to wear them for Diwali and garner all the lovely compliments. Have a great Diwali and keep spreading happiness through your lovely works of art. You are truly gifted! :)) Love,
-Runa Damji, Mumbai (India) (20th Oct’14)
|Recieved the earrings this evening. They are awesome! Thank you very much.
-Meenu khanolkar, Bangalore (India) (20th Oct’14)
|Received the parcel, beautiful and delicate.... thanks.
-Sharmishtha Bade, Mumbai (India) (20th Oct’14)
|I wanted to tell you that your mukta carita earring looks even more gorgeous after wearing it. It made me feel all royal in an instant. Now I am really tempted to keep it for myself and not gift it! I hope you keep making such timeless and beautiful pieces. The only problem then will be that I will get tempted to keep buying!!
And also, thank you for having me over at your place yesterday and for carving out time from your weekend. It was a pleasure meeting you in person! :)
-Savita Ganesan, California (USA) (19th Oct’14)
|Always appreciate your attention to detail in all your lovely creations. It is so evident in this design, not just the careful setting of the pearls, but also the finishing on the underside. Kudos to you and your karigars for this handcrafted masterpiece!
Thank you delivering just in time for Diwali.
- Jui Tawade, Pune (India) (19 Oct’14)

|My parents came over yesterday....I got the rings from them. The ring from the coin collection is fabulous. It is so much more beautiful in person. Thanks very much!
-Shilpa S, Fremont (USA) (1st Oct’14)
|Both of us sisters have had quite some tough decisions to make this last week...it has been so tough not to get carried away and just order almost everything I set my eyes on!! That is why it has taken me such a while to place this order....
Also, one of the first things my sis said when she saw your latest collection was ' You have "Lai'ghtened up my day'... :)
-Sharmishta Ravindran, Sydney (Australia) (29th Sept'14)
|I received the package today. The earrings are BEAUTIFUL - I still haven't had a chance to sit down with them for a closer look but I was very impressed with the intricate work on the silver & pearl earring!
I will send you more details (comments) with pictures soon. Much thanks!!
- Pratibha Ranganna, Shrewsbury (USA) (29th Sept’14)
|Let me start off by saying, this collection is absolutely amazing. Every piece is very tastefully created and shows the passion you have for what you do. I cant make up my mind on which ones to pick and which ones to let go. This was the same dilemma I was in when I saw the detachable jhumka collection and now this.
I wonder if I should start setting some cash aside every month in my budget to be able to get the whole collection next time ;)
-Lavanya (Dubai) (27th Sept’14)
|I am having a hard time finalising my order as I have the desire to own all of them!!!! Hence, have become a 'Lai'la of your creations and hope to remain one for the rest of my life. :)
- Indrani Namilikonda, Mumbai (India) (27th Sept’14)
|I'm in love with your latest offering from Lai. I had to share it with my readers. You look lovely in the look book. Haven't spilled too much on my blog, it's a sneak peak from the look book. Have provided your FB page as the contact link.
- Sruthi Singh (USA) (blogger eastcoastdesi.blogspot) (26th Sept'14)
|As always you have created masterpieces..All are stunners and worth possessing and I have been going throughout he collection again and again and again and wondering which ones to choose……..I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ALL OF THEM THOUGH.
Brillant, Classic and beautiful……..love it.
-Harmeet Saini, Dhaod (India) (26th Sept'14)
|A mind boggling collection! It is so so so very elegant and delicate!
-Devjani Roy Chowdhury, Kolkata (India) (25th Sept'14)
|I totally love them - Beautiful delicate collection - eye candy - love it that each collection of yours is so unique.
-Shakha Mehta (Hong Kong) (24th Sept'14)
|Your work is so breathtakingly beautiful!!!
And kudos to your photographer who's captured you so ably in your creations.
-Suparna Rajguru (24 sept’14)
|'Mukta Carita' collection is delicious ( I can't stop drooling !!!) and perfect combination of traditional with a contemporary twist. I am having problem finalising my order due to this (and also coz I have a budget, so unfair!!!)
-Indrani Namilikonda, Bangalore (India) (23rd Sept'14)
|What a collection! I just love your designs- to me, they perfectly walk the fine line between classic and contemporary. The only problem is to select the one to buy!
-Namrata R, Bangalore (India) (23rd Sept'14)
|I love the combination of old world charm of pearls with new edgy design.....
-Shalini Pillai, Mumbai (India) (23rd Sept'14)
|I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have received the email! Can I say that the collection is absolutely stunning!
Kudos to your creativity and hope you keep it coming. May I say the lookbook is even more captivating. The collection and the model complement each other so perfectly!!
-Kavya M, Hyderabad (India) (22nd Sept'14)
|You’ve outdone yourself this time and that's really difficult. I seriously don't know which ones to pick - I want all of them. They're so sooooo pretty, honestly I would love to order the whole collection - it's absolutely gorgeous.
-Ankita Joshi, Mumbai (India) (22nd Sept'14)
|Pujaaa what a way to start the morning whohoooo i guess more than an iphone6 i was anticipating this collection the most and all your followers would agree! !
Mind blowing collection i must say every piece is a art so delicate so beautiful and intricate i dont have a pearl collection at all but what better way to start with yours!!!! These are truly timeless and beauty personified :) i just cant wait to see them in person really! !! Thanks for making such beautuful jewelry and introducing us to those.. how or else would i ever get a chance to own such masterpieces! !!
-Priya Durairajan (UK) (22nd Sept’14)
|Got them today n just saw them after getting back...
LOVE them esp the turquoise collection...thank you!
-Mridula Priyadarshini, Bangalore (India) (10th Sept’14)
|Hi ! It's me again, I am aware that I didn't send u pics wearing the earrings as I never wore them. I gifted one to my sister who got engaged and one to my sister in law, it all happened so fast and those were the best gifts I had at the moment. And I am really happy about it cuz the look on their faces was priceless. Thank you!
-Amruta Bakre, Mumbai (India) (9th Sept’14)
|I received the earrings yesterday. I do buy a lot of silver earrings but I must say this is one of the most beautifully crafted and well made piece that I ever bought, I absoluteIy love the finish and looking forward to your other collections.
-Matouleibi S, New Delhi (India) (4th Sept’14)
|Your pendant was a rockstar ! I wore it and I was flooded with compliments, right from husband to my colleagues and even strangers. :) Sorry couldn't click myself this time. But my picture is due! Looking forward to your next collection!
-Sonam Jain, Pune (India) (21st Aug’14)
|Thank you Puja - received the package.
Both pieces look lovely. There's a reason why I keep coming back to you - while I have a lot of jewellery in silver, the ones I've picked up from you are my most worn pieces and the ones that also get the most compliments.
I hate telling people where i got them from ;)
here's one more compliment for your work - my 3 year old daughter has been asking me everyday if she's become any bigger. When I asked her "why do u want to become bigger". Her reply was "so i can wear your things, you told me i can wear it when i become big" -she was referring to my kutch collection pendant and ring that I got from you a while back. Every time she sees it on me she wants to know if she's become any bigger cause it's so pretty!
-Ankita Maini, Mumbai (India) (18th Aug’14)
|We got it in the morning, and we love it! Thanks, Puja.
-Lopa Dhar, Delhi (India) (14th Aug’14)
|The package was delivered today morning so it was super quick! Unfortunately I am not in Delhi till the end of the month so I will see it only then but my mom loves it and it looks great in the picture she sent :) Yay! :D Thanks!
-Niharika Pande, Gurgaon (India) (13th Aug’14)
|Whenever in doubt, I bring out these beauties. Classy is what describes them the best. And they go with everything..! I own two more pairs of earrings from your Silver-Glass collection, but I fell in love with the Mehendi collection - of which I ordered a neck piece as well. Looking forward to your next collection to sweep me off my feet.
-Shilpa Sharma, Jaipur (India) (12th Aug'14)
|Liked the rakhi a lot :-)) Sending a few snaps, my sister is tying rakhi to Amit.
-Sonali Thakur (Singapore) (10th aug’14)
|Have received the Rakhis and they are awesome. I kinda wish if I could wear them instead of tying them to my brother. Seems like, in the end I'm gonna ask for the bookmark as a rakhi gift :P Totally love the design and the fact that it can be so beautifully used later.
Thanks for making our Rakhi super special.
- Pallavi Vasta, New Delhi (6th Aug’14)
|Got the Rakhi on Saturday and loved it. Thanks a lot.
-Sowmya Hotha, Cupertino (USA) (4th Aug’14)
|Just saw the Rakhis, they r even more exquisite to look at in person. Thanks. I have already sent them to my dear brothers, hoping that they will share pics of them wearing it. If they do I will send it to u too ☺️
-Chitra Krishnan (Singapore) (1st Aug’14 )
|Finally the package arrived today - the whole week was off coz of Eid and I should say it was well worth the wait.
The jumkhas are gorgeous - just cant wait to show off :)
The whole concept of detachable jumkhas was new and maybe you should patent it.
And the bookmark rakhi is very very unique - now am thinking should I keep this for myself and order the silver chain from you ;) Thanks a lot and keep em coming!
-Lavanya Ramaswamy (Dubai) (1st Aug’14)
|Just got home and saw the Rakhis! They are absolutely fabulous, love them! Gonna be so happy to tie one of these for my dearest Bro! and its truly going to be a memorable one! thank you Puja :)
-Sujata Iyer, Bangalore (India) (24th July’14)
|Thank you !! I was so happy to see the pendant, its my little piece of art. Looking forward to more of your lovely work! Cheers!
-Sonam Jain, Pune (India) (29th july’14)
|Just wanted to say all the rakhis have been received and with so much love and appreciation for the delicate work involved :) my nephew's just loved it.. and my cousin brothers are all complaining that they dint get this one hahaha
just shows how beautiful the rakhis were.. thanks so much for making advika's and her cousin's rakshabandhan so special.. the kids were sooo excited and happy that they received something as special as this and actually my cousins were thrilled that they can use it as a bookmark later!!! which they all are looking forward !!! :) :)
of course keep doing the great work you always do!!! :) :)
- Priya Durairajan (UK) (24th July’14)
|Received my courier...thanks a ton...just too excited to tie to my brothers now...
-Sharneet Mehta, New Delhi (India) (24th july’14)
|Received the India rakhi today it's gorgeous along with the small infographic which helps to understand the life beyond wrist of this gorgeous piece! On second thoughts wondering do I keep it for myself! kidding! :)
Sure would let you know my brothers thoughts as well pics which is mandatory for the long distance brother
-Nayantara Pai, Mumbai (India) (23rd July’14)
|Just received the packet. Awwww!!!! It's so beautiful!!! I like it immensely and can't wait to show it to my brother....but wait....there is still time to Rakshabandhan! I don't know how am I going to hold this excitement and wait till 10th August to tie it on my brother's wrist! I know he will be equally thrilled, as every year both of us used to cry over the beautiful rakhis, those were destined to die soon just after a day. He is an avid reader and that's another reason why he would love this Rakhi even more. Now I know and understand why people go ga ga over a Lai jewellery :-)
Thanks for this wonderful idea! I don't know why so far no one thought of this or some other way to use the rakhi.
-Devjani R C, Kolkata (India) (23rd July’14)
|Received the coin ring. It is more beautiful than its photo images I have seen so far. Thank you so much!!!!
-Amruta Borwankar, Pune (India) (14th July’14)
|You might have misspelled the title of this collection as I am sure it is meant to be 'Delectable Jhumka Collection'! Have been playing around with different combinations and absolutely love every which way I can wear these! Kudos on a job well done yet again.
-Jui Tawade, Pune (India) (8th July’14)
|Got the jhumkas! Sorry in this delay to send you my feedback..
You have an innate knack of turning something beautiful into something timeless!
Your concepts are beautiful. The detachable jhumka is in fact an innovation and a disrupter in the market that takes your line into a quantum jump!
But it is your eye for detail and your love for your work that makes each piece perfect in its detail. So while the whole is beautiful, the details are perfect. And together it makes the piece timeless.
I love what I have bought from you and will find several ways to wear them. Will send you pictures for sure!
Congratulations and God bless!
-Joy Deshmukh Ranadive, Mumbai (India) (2nd July’14)
|Received my gorgeous gorgeous items today, they look just as amazing as they do in the photos :). Looking forward to wearing them and sending you a pic soon!
-Aparna George, Bangalore (India) (30th June’14)
|Received the parcel....the poetry continues....thank you for being a part of our family's joyful moments....cant help it now!
-Rama Narayanan, Bangalore (India) (30th June’14)
|I have just received the Jhumkas today! I was like an eager kid unwrapping my parcel.
This Detachable Jhumka collection is my most favourite amongst the past jewellery collections which I have purchased from you! The garnet gemstones earrings are very pretty and dainty. They 'blend' in so well with the shiny Jhumka bottoms I chose. The whole set just spells 'stunning, exquisite and charming'.
I have always wanted to own a pair of Jhumka earrings but always couldn't find any suitable ones. You have just made my wish come true! :) The idea of making the Jhumkas with detachable tops and bottoms is ingenious! I will treasure them always!
By the way, kinda embarrassing, although I have longed been fascinated with Jhumkas but never knew they were known by this name till today.
Oh, do thank your mother for mailing the parcel so speedily. Interesting to track the journey of the earrings traveling through different parts of Asia before reaching Singapore..haa..
Have a blessed and restful weekend! Time flies! I still have to work tomorrow (Saturday), but your earrings made me smile!
-Joan Wee (Singapore) (27th June’14)
|I just received the package. What to say! I am at a loss of words. I have to admit that the jewellery pieces are actually more pretty than they appear on your website link. The combination of the top and jhumka I have seems to be the best one. They complement each other so perfectly. And the turquoise studs are 10 times more beautiful in person than I thought it would be, and I am wearing them now at my office . I am definitely looking forward for more purchase from your collections.
In love with Lai !
-Asha Gupta, Austin (USA) (27th June’14)
|Happy to inform I have received the package.. Very excited. Love the finishing... My next goal is to complete the coin collection set by purchasing the necklace and the jhumka bottoms!! I hope I can get them soon!!!
More than anything, I loved the conversations we had. Thank you for being soo patient and sending me immediate responses to my never ending questions!
-Kavya Musunuri, Hyderabad (India) (26th June'14)
|I received my earrings last afternoon. They are beautiful, thank you.
-Renuca Veloso, Mumbai (India) (25th June’14)
|Puja, I received my parcel today!! And my jhumkas are all that I thought they'd be! Can't wait to wear them. Knowing me that'll be tomorrow. Haha!
-Pooja Jagadeesh, Bangalore (India) (25th June’14)
|My husband and I love the ear rings, Puja. These were delivered an hour back. Thank you.
-Lopa Dhar, Delhi (India) (24th June’14)
|Have received the packet. The jewellery is phenomenal...and have already worn one, coz i couldnt wait!
Here you go, with the pic. I loved loved loved it totally!!!!
I hope you send me mailers of all your upcoming collections..i am an ardent admirer of silver jewellery. Many many thanks.
-Tanu Pathak, Delhi (India) (24th June’14)
|I have resisted writing to you immediately after seeing the collection.Because, I see with this series of designs, your work has deepened. I respect the artist designer in you and the involvement you have with your creations. I am really glad you work with such class craftsmen the kinds of which are becoming a rarity in the urban world.
Your translations of inspirations, playfulness with color and execution and presentation is wonderful. All in all,my admiration and appreciation has moved from motivating to respectful. It would be unfair now for me to just drool.Although, your stuff is very droolable!
Now, My daughter got to see your photo album and she is a young girl training to be a graphic artist, extremely critical and cynical about art in India, both new and old. Well, I must say, she tripped on your jumkha collection. She has never asked me to get her any serious jewelry nothing more than peace sign on her earrings off the Bangalore platforms. Because she feels the sign is important!
She spoke poetry about your work. Oh my! She, opened my eyes to perception. She calls your work stained glass jewelry.
-Rama Narayanan, Bangalore (India) (21st June’14)
|God you seem to be getting better and better – amazing amazing collection & idea.
- Shalini Pillai, Mumbai (India) (18th June’14)
|I received it today and the cuff links are great!!! Thanks!
-Soma Sinha, New Jersey (USA) (15th May’14)
|Finally, I got to see the coin ring. Its gorgeous!!! I feel blessed to own a piece of heritage now :) I liked the detailing and the craftsmanship. Am attaching a pic taken by friend. Thank you!
- Saroja Sanjivi (Dubai) (14 April’14)
|Puja, just got my earrings and ring. Love them! Thank you so much.
-Elaine Roy, Sydney (Australia) (22nd March’14)
|Recvd the Paisley piece today. The earrings are divine! Mum described them as elegant and simple which is really her style! Thought I should shoot you a quick email. Pictures to follow soon of the Paisley and Rangoli pieces. We've been travelling like mad and just got back home. Thank you and the artisans so so much for the wonderful conceptualization and workmanship! Cannot wait for the remaining 4 pieces...
Titiksha pandit, Mumbai (India) (10th March’14)
|Your stuff this time is beyond spectacular ! First of all the designs of every piece I selected is so original. I just really love them. I have always been a silver girl but I have not seen the wide variety of wearable silver like you make with anyone else and you just keep getting better and better. There is something for every taste. Also the look, feel and finish especially of your latest turquoise collection is world class (I have been to these boutique stores in Amsterdam where they love the design of Indian stuff but dont stock it because the finish is so poor - wish I could show them these.) They are actually better to look at in reality than on your website which is saying something since they look so exquisite anyway. Lastly I have to thank you for getting me to wear rings (at least buy them for now) - I hate anything on my fingers and dont even wear my wedding ring but I bought 4 rings from you because they were so irresistible and guess what , they look fabulous on my short stocky fingers and I love the feel of them - makes them look elegent (think I will get a french manicure to match the look:)
Keep rolling them out like that, lady and I will keep coming back for more!
-Shakha Mehta (HongKong) (8th March’14)
|Loved the trinkets. Will send a snap of us wearing it..
-Rajeevi Rao, Bangalore (India) (8th March ’14)
|I received the earrings this evening and have been wearing them ever since. They are absolutely superb - the two shades of blue, just the right amount of sparkle and movement, so light and comfortable to wear. Love them!
-Namrata Roy, Bangalore (India) (7th March’14)
|Sorry for writing late....but I am super thrilled to be wearing the jewellery I got from u!
My treat to myself this women's day!!!! I love the coin jewellery and I hope to add more to my collection :-):-)
Thank u so much! my day is truly made:-)
sending u a couple of snaps…..let me know what u think! :-)
- Leena Mukadam, Navi Mumbai (India) (7th March'14)
|I wore your creations to lot of places...people were just going gaga over my jewellery:) I am so happy to flaunt such beautiful pieces...they look so lovely and elegant and totally class apart:))
Have forwarded the email with links to all your creations so far, to my folks...it will be raining orders for you soon!
Keep up the brilliant work...Thanks a million!
-Manubha Saxena, Delhi (India) (3rd March’14)
|I have received the jewellery! And must say that all of them are outstanding and extraordinarily beautiful they are- in fact much better than I imagined !
Thanks for creating such beautiful masterpieces. I will send you my pics in these pieces...
-Manubha Saxena, Delhi (India) (3rd March’14)
|I received the stunning earring this morning, it's awesome and I'm strutting around like a peacock wearing them:).
Thank you so much :). I will post a pic too in Fb, very soon
Thanks& best wishes ,
-Roopa Varma, Gurgaon (India) (3rd March’14)
|Received, Puja! Apologies for all the trouble you went through. I absolutely love the earrings though - they're like a bunch of pretty grapes - so feminine and beautiful! Thanks for creating such awesome pieces.
- Anisha Padhee, Mumbai (India) (3rd March’14)
|Hi...received my much awaited earrings...wore it to office. Thanks!!!

With the show’s return today, September 11th, it has been revealed that Ken Jennings will be hosting Season 40 of Jeopardy! solo, according to Deadline.
- Ken Jennings will be hosting Jeopardy! as it returns for its 40th season today, September 11th.
- There had been confusion as to whether Jennings would host solo or whether Mayim Bialik, who has previously co-hosted the show, would return given the fact that SAG-AFTRA is on strike.
- In May, Bialik walked away from hosting the final week of Season 39, as a result of the ongoing strike.
- The show returns with the Season 37 Jeopardy! Second Chance competition, which features 27 select contestants from Season 37 who didn’t become champions in their initial appearances, given the chance to win again.
- This allows Jeopardy! to use previous clues from past seasons, with their writers out on strike.

"Pooh-sticks? What the – ?" Mike asked.
"That game English kids play. From, y'know, Winnie-the-Pooh, Christopher Robin and so on."
Mike was unimpressed. "Never heard of it. So?"
"The bear and the pig watch sticks floating down river, guessing which one reaches the other side first."
Jay shrugged. "Passes the time."
Jay chose a big one floating in the water; Mike, a smaller one nearby. They reached the bank simultaneously.
"Dead heat!" Mike said, animated.
"OK, showtime," Jay said. "I'll fish them out, you fetch the body-bags."

If there’s something Adam Liebowitz doesn’t know about editing, there’s a strong chance that it isn’t worth knowing. Nice Shoes’ creative director of editorial enjoys the ability to draw on three decades’ worth of experience in his craft, including sixteen years running Go Robot!, his own editing company.
Along the way the editing guru has worked with clients such as Apple, IBM, AT&T, Verizon, UPS, Nike, and Nascar. That work has won recognition from Cannes Lions, AICP, Clios, AICE, and London Film Awards, among many others.
Today, Adam is an integral part of Nice Shoes’ dedicated editorial division. To learn more about his craft, and pick up some tricks of the trade, we caught up with Adam.
Q> How did you come to be creative director of editorial at Nice Shoes?
Adam> I guess it’s the natural point of a journey that started while I was at Go Robot, my own company. While I was there I did the majority of my colour and finishing work with Nice Shoes, and that’s why I have such a family-like relationship with these guys. I knew that they had been wanting to build up an editorial team here and I loved the idea of being a creative leader and helping to build up that portion of the business.
Philosophically, I love that Nice Shoes as a company totally gets what an editor is - it’s the creative director of post-production.
Q> When it comes to humorous spots, just how much of that depends on the editing allowing the humour to land?
Adam> Whenever I approach a comedic spot, I keep in mind that you’re not trying to hit people over the head with it. You want to keep it about characters, just like you would in a dramatic spot. You’re paying attention to tone, little bits of reaction, eye blinks, all the things that you would apply to any good dialogue editing. Given that comedy is timing, it’s in the hands of the editor to ensure that you’re hitting the right beats. Character interactions, spatial relations and micro-timings are what count.
Above: Citizens Bank - Thankles
Q> So do you need to have a good grasp of comedic timing yourself in order to edit a humour-based ad?
Adam> I don’t necessarily think of it as that - it’s more a kind of sense that builds up over time. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s quite important to ensure that you don’t have an overarching philosophy when it comes to editing dialogue of any kind, be it comedy or drama. Because it’s about looking for the right reactions from actors and that changes on a project-by-project basis. I’m always careful to have a moment where you see who’s being spoken to, so the audience knows which characters are absorbing information, whether that’s a setup for a joke or some drama.
Q> So are there a lot of similarities between editing for comedy and editing for drama?
Adam> Yes, I think they’re two sides of the same coin. With comedy, the nature of the punchline is less important than the delivery. So you can’t have great comedy without proper framing and delivery, just like great drama.
Above: Visa - "Passing the Torch"
When I look back, I think my favourite work has always actually been a blend of the two, so there’s something in that for sure. I remember working on the first few Progressive spots with Stephanie Courtney, the actress who plays Flo. I remember she came in with around forty jokes she’d written herself, so it was such a pleasure to work with material from someone like that. With those kinds of performers, they always seem able to give both sides of that coin.
Q> Is there an example of a film that really encapsulates the power editing can have over the comedy or drama?
Adam> Yes, and I can give you a recent example which is Jojo Rabbit. I’ve watched that maybe four or five times - is it a comedy or a drama? The timings in there are just astoundingly fantastic, they absolutely blow me away. It’s one of the most perfectly edited pieces of film I’ve ever seen.
Q> So as an editor, how can you put together a piece of work like that?
Adam> You really need to take the actors you’ve been given for each project. I don’t write them or direct them so I try not to have a preconceived idea of how those actors will communicate their characters’ thoughts. Sometimes you get beautiful performances that make you look like an editing genius, and your job is to just make it work. The beauty of being an editor is that sometimes you get to be the hero when all you did was have good stuff to work with!
I always do consider that a lot of people put a lot of work into each project before it’s handed over to me, so I never want to trample over it or totally change it.
Q> And how much of a role does music play in what you do?
Adam> Oh man, enormous. I would say I spend as much time trying different music tracks as I do cutting dialogue. I really try to keep up to speed with lots of genres, whether it's rock or jazz or soundtracks or whatever it is, you never know what’s going to come to the front of your mind and be useful. I have a pretty deep, well, what used to be an iTunes library and is now about 300 Spotify playlists based on different kinds of ads. They’re so helpful to dip into when projects come up.
Music can take the audience by the hand and move them to the place they need to be for a piece of film to work. It’s absolutely key to everything we do.
Q> Finally, it seems as though an important part of being a great editor is the ability to read people. Would you say working in this job has made you a better poker player?!
Adam: Haha, well I’m a terrible poker player but I can see what you’re getting at. Whether they’re cheats or legitimate performances, being observational about small ticks in people’s faces and eyelines are what you’re trying to pay attention to in the takes. There’s a lot that goes on in human communication that isn’t just what we say to each other. If we’re feeling generous, maybe without my career in editing I would be an even worse poker player!

Beginning with the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3, Sony has included a file named
param.sfo with their games that provided metadata about the game itself, such as the game's name, ID, version, minimum required firmware, etc. The format of the file studied and well documented (the PS3 version in particular is well documented), and there are many different SFO utilities available. (My referred reader is sfo by hippie68 since it's cross-platform, open source, CLI-based, and still being actively developed.)
param.sfo contents is easy enough, extracting it from the original game or package is a bit trickier. It's pretty straightforward to extract
param.sfo from PS3 and PSP ISOs, but PS4 and Vita games, plus PS3 and PSP PSN packages, require jumping through more hoops.
SFO Extract aims to make extracting
param.sfo from any supported game or package format as easy as possible. It was developed with the following goals in mind:
- Support all PlayStation media formats that include
- Extract the file as quickly and easily as possible
- Minimize external dependencies
SFO Extract has been tested with and supports the following formats:
- PS3 ISOs and App, Update, and DLC PKGs
- PS4 ISOs and Update PKGs
- PSP ISOs and DLC PKGs
- Vita PSVs and App, Update, and DLC PKGs
SFO Extract currently has the following limitations:
- PS4 ISOs that contain multiple games or app packages (like Life Is Strange: Before the Storm) are not fully supported as there's no predictable way to determine which SFO should be extracted. As a result, if this type of ISO is detected, SFO Extract will instead extract the BD SFO instead of the App SFO, which describes the contents of the disc rather than the contents of the game. The BD SFO contains a subset of information from the App SFO.
Download Current Version: 1.0, Released: 09/21/2021
read-game-id.sh (11.95 KB) - The SFO Extract BASH shell script
The SFO Extract changelog is included in the beginning of the script.
SFO Extract installation simply requires downloading the script, enabling the execute bit (eg.,
chmod a+x sfo-extract.sh, and moving to a directory in your
In order to support encrypted PS3 and PSP PKG files, the following utility is also necessary:
- https://github.com/windsurfer1122/PSN_get_pkg_info, along with Python 3
sfo-extract.sh -h to display help information. This will describe the syntax for running the program and list all available options.
You may provide pass one or more ISO/PKG files; if multiple files passed (such as
*.iso), it'll extract from multiple files in parallel up to your number of CPU threads in order to speed up the process.
param.sfo to the same directory and base name as the source file; use the
-d option to change the location of the output file.
sfo-extract.sh includes a
-q quick extract option for PS4 games. Unpacking the main (App) SFO can take quite a while on PS4 games, so this option exists to extract an alternate disc (BD) SFO that contains a subset of information from the main SFO. Extracting this BD SFO is much faster, and is useful when you only need basic info about the game, like Title ID, version, or minimum firmware requirement.
SFO Extract primarily works as follows:
- Search the file for a pattern matching the
param.sfo(hereafter referred to as "SFO") header
- Calculate the length of the SFO by examining the header
- Extract the bytes containing SFO and write to the new file
SFO Extract will perform each of those steps in parallel up to the number of logical CPUs in your computer (use the
-t option to control this). Below is a breakdown of each step.
Search for SFO header
Per reverse-engineered specifications, the SFO begins with the hex string
00 50 53 46 01 01 00 00 xx xx 00 00 xx xx 00 00 (the Xs are variable). SFO Extract uses
grep to search the binary file for this matching pattern and determine the offset of where the header begins.
While searching for the header is relatively straightforward, there are a couple complicating factors:
- Some formats, like PSP ISOs, may contain multiple SFO files, with the desired SFO not stored first. SFO Extract identifies the file format and, when appropriate, extracts the second matching SFO to produce the desired result.
- PS4 ISOs also include multiple SFOs, and because the second SFO is randomly located on what can be very large ISO images,
grepwill either crash or run out of memory when searching files that large. As a result, instead of directly grepping files, SFO Extract will use
ddto read a 1 GB chunk of the file at a time, search that for the SFO header, and repeat as many times as necessary to find the desired SFO file.
Calculate SFO lengthSFO files vary in size between systems and games. To determine the SFO size, SFO Extract does the following:
- Get the data table offset from the header
- Get the number of index entries from the header
- For each entry, determine the size if it's corresponding description
- Perform the following calculations:
- Header = 20 bytes
- Index table = number of entries * 16 bytes
- Data table = sum of sizes defined for each entry in index
- Key table = Data table offset - index table size - header size
- Total SFO size = header + index table + key table + data table
Extract and save SFOThis step is the most straightforward: using
hexdump, read the bytes beginning at the offset found in step 1 for the size determined in step 2, then write the results to the new SFO file. This step largely reuses commands and logic developed for the prior steps.

Clarabel S. Riddell, 97, passed away suddenly on March 9, 2021, in Joliet, IL. She was the youngest of five children born to Adolph and Clara Pearl (Antrim) Schoof on February 25, 1924, in Henry, IL. She received her degree from Blackburn College and later worked for the Marshall County Farm Bureau. In 1948, Clarabel married James S. Riddell. He preceded her in death in 2008, after nearly 60 years of marriage. They resided on the family farm in Sparland, IL most of their married life where they raised five children: William Joe (Susanne) Riddell of Sparland, Mary Louise (Gregory) Kessling of Joliet, Marjorie Jean (the late Richard) Gilmore of El Paso, James Robert (Sally) Riddell of Sparland, and Nancy Pearl (Douglas) Riddell-Dudra of Medina, MN.
Clarabel was the Grandmother of 12 – Jenifer (Chad) Bauer, William Jay (Angie) Riddell, Amy (James) Dow, Timothy (Brianne) Kessling, Klinton (Crisa) Kessling, Lucas (Lindsey) Kessling, Ryan (Stacey) Gilmore, Adam (Hope Germann) Gilmore, Sarah Riddell, Amanda (Cliff) Barnett, Collin (Karla) Dudra, and Mallory Dudra.
She is survived by 19 Great Grandchildren. Blaze, Brayten, and Alexis Bauer; Ryan and Cooper Riddell; Carter and Emma Dow; Aubri, Blake, Logan, Taylor, Gavin, Bryson, Jack, and Kate Kessling; Griffin, Gemma, and Vivian Barnett; and Felicity Dudra, along with several nieces and nephews. Preceding her in death were her parents, and siblings: Fred Schoof, Helen Smith, Harold Schoof, and Lola McClure.
Clarabel was an active member of the La Prairie United Presbyterian Church where she devoted countless hours in service teaching Sunday School and Vacation Bible School, singing in the choir, member of the women’s missionary group and more. She was a vital part of Wellgreen Hereford Farm/Riddell Polled Herefords where she was a meticulous record keeper. As part of her role in the family business and due to her love for and belief in agriculture, she served as president of the Illinois Beef Auxiliary traveling the state with speaking engagements, as well as attending seminars and meetings at the national level. She was active in the Marshall County Historical Society holding numerous offices, helping to edit and compile the Sparland History Book and “Barn Again” book within that organization. Clarabel was a familiar face being an election judge for Steuben Township. She also enjoyed keeping vital records for family genealogy, was a creative seamstress, great cook, and dedicated mother. In 1993 Clarabel was humbled to be chosen the Illinois Mother of the Year.
Even with all the titles and notoriety she had in many organizations, to her, they paled in comparison to the pride she felt in her titles of wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and most importantly, child of God.
Services will be held on Friday, June 25, at LaPrairie United Presbyterian Church. Visitation will be at 10 a.m., funeral services at 11 a.m. followed by interment in the church cemetery. Memorials may be made to LaPrairie United Presbyterian Church Cemetery Assn., Marshall County Historical Society, or LaPrairie United Presbyterian Church in Sparland, Illinois.

Last month, we outlined the clean energy technology trends for 2022, and here we discuss the challenges in project finance and the questions lenders will ask in response. Expected challenges in project finance include:
Inflation measured by the U.S. Department of Labor's consumer price index (CPI) ended 2021 at 7.0 percent over the previous 12 months. The CPI will fall, but there is disagreement about how much and when. The recent surge in prices has been due to production bottlenecks and supply-chain constraints. These factors are translating to higher clean energy project costs and making lenders require equipment contracts or shorter project timelines to ensure loans are repaid.
Adding large numbers of new renewable energy capacity has meant more high-voltage transmission lines to connect projects to population load centers. Developers in PJM are especially frustrated and asking for purchase power agreement termination rights if a project does not receive its interconnection or permit approvals. Developers in other markets are reporting that they are paying for most grid upgrades, even though these upgrades benefit all ratepayers.
Finally, current tax phase outs have enormous implications for clean energy project finance. Solar projects that began in 2020, 2021, or 2022 will qualify for a 26 percent investment tax credit; projects that begin in 2023 will qualify for a 23 percent tax credit.
The combination of all these factors - inflation, supply-chain constraints, transmission upgrades, and tax credits - means more project risk for developers and lenders alike. Corporate demand for renewable energy is strong, but the supply of good projects is also limited.
Project Finance Questions
Dealing with these project constraints, lenders consider the following:
Leyline Renewable Capital considers all of these questions in its lending portfolio to invest in promising renewable energy projects nationwide. We deploy creative financing solutions at crucial early stages in the process of bringing large-scale projects online - everything from community-scale solar arrays to anaerobic digesters to energy storage facilities.
Contact us today for more information on how we can help you get your renewable energy project off the ground.

The Untimely SEP Death in Federal Enforcement Cases
The use of Supplemental Environmental Projects (“SEPs”) in the enforcement context has been a widely accepted practice for many years for defendants wishing to fund projects in lieu of a full civil penalty in enforcement actions. At both the state level and federal level, SEPs have been useful tools in pursuing environmental benefit without having to write a check (or a more sizable check) to the state/federal treasury. Both TCEQ and EPA have endorsed the use of SEPs over time, including for municipal and public utilities whose ratepayer funds can be better tailored to improvement projects with a SEP, than to funnel to the treasury coffers in Austin or Washington, D.C.
On August 21, 2019, however, the federal policy changed, as the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) released a memorandum prohibiting the use of SEPs in settlements with state/local governments. Citing the rationale of an earlier DOJ memo from 2018, DOJ is now taking the position that because SEPs go beyond the four corners of applicable environmental laws (by their very name and nature, SEPs are supplemental to existing requirements), they cannot be used in settlements.
The consequences of the position shift are far-reaching, as it both increases the amounts of civil penalties that would otherwise be reduced by the pursuit of a SEP project, and limits a community’s ability to fund projects that can yield important results for infrastructure, receiving streams, and public health and safety. Although the DOJ memo does not impact cases that are state-only (i.e., where TCEQ brings an enforcement action), it does impact settlements on Clean Water Act issues that implicate both the federal government and the State of Texas as Plaintiffs.
Utilities wishing to implement SEPs may still be able to pursue such projects in other contexts, whether that be state enforcement by TCEQ, or outside the confines of an enforcement matter. The Texas policy includes three types of SEP approaches, including Compliance SEPs, where past expenditures can count toward a penalty amount if one can show a nexus between the investment and permit compliance. Others include pre-approved SEPs for projects the State has already identified, as well as custom SEPs that are tailored to a community’s particular project focus.
The recent federal position will have an impact on POTWs facing federal enforcement, and the removal of a tool that some utilities have found critical to support compliance and limit financial exposure to penalties. As the implementation process now begins, utilities should consider how this may impact planning and negotiation positions on current and future enforcement matters.

The Best (And No Cost) Anti-Aging, Weight Loss and Joint Health Remedy You’ll Ever Come Across!
G'day folks, and a warm welcome to our December edition of Life Saving Health Solutions. Thank you once again for being a part of our health circle and I really hope you enjoy today’s newsletter and the information I'm going to be sharing with you.
Since the beginning of time, it seems human beings have been on this unstoppable quest to find the “fountain of youth”. Everybody wants it right? (Even the ancient Egyptians kept searching for it). If we could find a way to live longer, reverse the aging clock, have unlimited energy, keep our joints and mind healthy, along with being able to maintaining our ideal body weight, all by simply taking a magic pill or elixir then life would be perfect!
Well, I’m here to tell you that magic pill or elixir doesn’t exist (and probably never will), but there’s actually something very close. And best of all, its dirt cheap to make yourself and the only investment you really need to make is a little of your time.
Bone Broth (Stock) Is the Fountain of Youth We’ve Been Searching For…
Yes, bone broth is nothing new. Chances are your grandmother or great grandmother regularly made her own bone broth, but now with our busy lifestyles, it seems it’s become a dying art. And this is a shame really because making your own stock is not that hard to do and the health and therapeutic benefits are nothing short of amazing!
But thankfully, all is not lost on this one. Due to the Paleo diet craze, homemade bone broth is now having a big comeback. The great thing about bone stock is you can use it in soups, sauces, stews, curries, and just about any dish that requires cooking a piece of meat or vegetable in a liquid. It’s also great for sautéing or roasting vegetables. It actually tastes so good that you can even just have it straight from the bowl if you want to!
What Exactly is Bone Broth?
Broth (or technically, stock) is a powerful vitamin, mineral and co-factor rich concoction that’s made by boiling up the bones of animals, then adding some vegetables, herbs and spices. In fact, you’ll usually find a large stock pot of broth simmering in the kitchen of virtually every 5-star restaurant. It’s not only terrific for its great culinary uses and amazing flavor, it’s also a potent health tonic that can be easily added to your diet in lots of different ways (even the kids will love it!). Broth is usually made from the bones of beef, bison, lamb, poultry, or fish, and even game meat bones (these are actually the most nutrient packed). Vegetables, herbs and spices are also added to the brew towards the end of the simmering process for extra flavor and nutritional benefit.
What Does Bone Broth Do For You Health Wise?
When you drink bone broth, you really do feel so much better and have so much more energy. And you can lose weight without even trying!
Bone broth contains some powerful fat-burning and cell-energizing nutrients. Here’s some of the main ones…
If you want to lose weight, reduce cellulite, have younger looking skin, and have healthy hair and nails, then you absolutely must have collagen and gelatin (hence why these are added to most hair and nail formulas, cellulite reduction creams, and skin care and anti-aging creams). Collagen is an integral part of bones and contains a healthy supply of important amino acids. When you cook or simmer bone broth for a long period of time, the collagen in the bones turns into gelatin.
Collagen & Gelatin:
And gelatin is a virtual “cure all” magical compound!
Here’s some of the potent health benefits of this stunning substance…
TONES AND STRENGTHENS THE SKIN: There’s a reason why women have used gelatin for centuries to help keep their skin smooth and supple. The nutrients in gelatin provide the body with the key building blocks of collagen. And collagen is crucial for erasing wrinkles and reversing sagging skin and stretch marks. So think of collagen as a natural Botox!
GELATIN FIGHTS INFLAMMATION: Studies have shown that even a basic home-made chicken soup can help suppress inflammation within the body by stopping pro-inflammatory immune cells known as “neutrophils” from moving into the inflamed area. The amino acid glycine (from gelatin) is even more effective at reducing both local and systemic (whole body) inflammation. In fact, its anti-inflammatory effects are very powerful indeed.
GELATIN HEALS YOUR GUT: Gelatin stabilizes your gut mucosa (the gut mucosa is the largest and most lively immunological environment of the body and is often the first point of pathogen exposure (viruses, bacteria, etc). Many microbes actually use it as their “foot in the door” to get into and invade the rest of the body). Research has also found that the glycine in gelatin heals and protects the gut due to its powerful anti-inflammatory, immune regulatory, and cell-protective properties.
We have about 25 feet of intestines and about 1,500 different species of bacteria and other flora living in them (this adds up to trillions of gut microbes). The good bacteria make enzymes that help our bodies digest food and nutrients, along with producing valuable hormones and removing toxins from the body.
Unfortunately, the modern day diet isn’t kind to our gut flora at all. A diet high in refined sugars, carbs, and artificial chemicals, but low in crucial nutrients, kills off massive amounts of beneficial bacteria quite quickly. Worst of all, they allow the bad bacteria to take a hold a wreak havoc!
Infections, antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, stress, alcohol, and many prescription medications can also unbalance gut flora and allow the bad bacteria to gain control and thrive.
This is extremely dangerous because once the bad guy’s take over, they cause inflammation that eventually damages the gut wall. The result is intestinal permeability or “leaky gut.” With this condition the gut barrier is weakened, which then allows toxins and “digestive debris” that should stay trapped inside the gut to escape into the bloodstream, poisoning the blood.
Gelatin helps to restore the health of the intestines and gut lining, along with optimizing immune function (70% of the body’s immune system is actually located in the gut). If you suffer from acne, arthritis, headaches, allergies, ADHD, dizziness, or fibromyalgia, expect to see these problems clear up once you start adding bone broth to your diet.
NOTE: Sometimes, too much of a good thing can actually be detrimental. But when it comes to your beneficial bacteria, this is definitely not the case. You can NEVER have too many good bacteria residing in your digestive system. Never! In fact, the more you have the better! This is why we always recommend you take a good quality probiotic supplement every day. You can’t always be sure that you’re getting enough beneficial flora from your diet (you MUST build and replenish the supply every single day), which is why a probiotic supplement is needed. This is your guarantee, or insurance, really, that you’re definitely getting that much needed supply.
Here’s some of the best probiotic supplements listed on the market at the moment…
Top Rating Probiotic Supplements According to Amazon
The calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and boron that’s present in bone broth is highly bioavailable (easily absorbable) and because you must have these four minerals to build healthy bones, this makes bone broth the ultimate and cheapest form of arthritis and osteoporosis cure you’ll come across.
Vitamins, Minerals, Good Fats & Alkylglycerols:
If you decide to make a fish broth (using fish bones) you get the added benefit of extra high strength absorbable iodine. Iodine regulates your thyroid hormones, while the calcium helps to keep your endocrine hormones in balance. Balanced hormones are essential for efficient metabolism production (fat burning) and weight loss.
The phosphorus contained in bone broth plays a crucial role in energizing the body’s cells, while the magnesium builds strong healthy bones, balances hormones, enhances digestion and repairs and rejuvenates the skin.
Boron is essential for healthy teeth, bone and joint function, along with regulating the absorption and metabolism of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus through its influence on the parathyroid glands. Basically, boron is for the parathyroids what iodine is for the thyroid.
And let’s not forget about the bone marrow that’s contained in bone broths. This incredible jellylike, rubbery substance at the core of the bone is also a nutritional treasure trove! It’s an exceptional source of healthy dietary fats and contains high amounts of absorbable iron and vitamin A. Bone marrow also contains powerful alkylglycerol compounds, which help protect us from cancer and other degenerative diseases by boosting immune function.
In addition to being a rich source of building blocks for collagen production, the cartilage in bone broth is also jam packed with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate. These are the very same and popular nutrients many health practioners prescribe to their patients to keep their joints healthy and reverse the effects of arthritis and osteoporosis.
Joint-Protecting Nutrients in Bone Broth:
Bone broth also contains hyaluronic acid, which is a potent nutrient that lubricates the joints and muscles. In fact, a 2015 study found oral hyaluronic acid produced “statistically significant improvements in pain and function” in obese people suffering with knee osteoarthritis. Hyaluronic acid also hydrates the skin and erases fine wrinkles (it’s currently the latest ingredient being heavily advertized in many skin care creams). So along with having happier joints, bone broth will also give you smoother, healthier skin!
Bone broth is rich in amino acids which are classed as “conditional” amino acids rather than “essential”. Under ideal health conditions, the body can usually make enough of these amino acids without having to obtain them from food. However, in today’s highly toxic, highly stressed out (stress depletes the body of nutrients faster than anything else) and highly nutrient deficient world, it’s a very high probability that you’re not getting enough of these crucial amino acids. Fortunately, you can obtain a healthy supply of the four key conditional amino acids, glycine, proline, arginine and glutamine, from bone broth.
Glycine & Other Important Amino Acids:
Here’s why you need these…
Glycine plays a powerful role in fighting inflammation and is also one of the building blocks of collagen.
Proline helps the body synthesize proteins, metabolize food correctly, heal wounds, and protect against oxidative stress.
Arginine has potent wound-healing properties, increases blood flow and stimulates the release of growth hormone. New research shows it may also protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
How to Easily Make Your Own Bone Broth…
As you can see, bone broth is a very powerful healing tonic, body revitalizer, and metabolism booster. When you add up all of bone broth’s nutritional benefits, it’s easy to see why it’s making such a strong comeback.
Making your own bone broth is dead easy. Anyone can do it. Once everything’s in the pot, you just basically set it and forget it! Here’s an excellent article that tells you everything you need to know on making your own bone broth, along with some great recipes you can use to add your bone broth to. It’s really worth taking the time to have a read of…
Making Fresh Bone Stock (Broth) - PaleoLeap.com
Now, you can actually
buy organic, pre-made bone broth.
If you find that you’re just too busy or can’t be bothered (it’s okay to be honest and admit if you can’t be bothered) then purchasing these is still a good alternative. However, we suggest you do this as a last resort. Making your own is still the best (and cheapest) option by far.
This Just In…
“Taking Antidepressants While Pregnant Increases Risk of Autism by up to 87 Percent”…
A recent article in Newsweek reported on a new study that’s just revealed women taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during pregnancy can increase their child’s risk for developing autism substantially.
Study organizers found that women who took SSRIs during pregnancy increased their child’s risk of developing autism by as much as 87 percent. The study mainly looked at the dangers associated with taking SSRI medications during the second and third trimester of pregnancy, where the impact is much higher than during the first trimester.
It was once thought that pregnancy hormones actually protected women from depression, but it now seems this is not the case. In fact, pregnancy in general can trigger a wide range of emotions that can actually make it difficult to cope with depression.
The findings from this study conducted at the University of Montreal does send a clear warning to all health professionals and women suffering from depression. Although the exact link for the association between antidepressant drugs and autism risk has still not be confirmed yet, there is clearly a risk and it shouldn’t be ignored.
Depression is definitely on the rise, not just for pregnant women, but for the whole population in general. In fact, it’s projected that depression will be the second leading cause of death by 2021.
Of course, it’s not easy for someone who’s taking an anti-depressant drug to stop if they’ve been taking it for a while and are clinically depressed. It’s something that does need special attention (your body becomes accustomed to the medication so quitting cold turkey is never a good idea). Going off medication can cause a sharp drop in mood levels and is really not something that can or should be done without some form of medical/health supervision.
This study does highlight once again the unavoidable fact. Every pharmaceutical drug or medication has side effects (creates an unwanted or opposite reaction within the body). There is no getting around this truth, no matter what the medical profession or pharmaceutical industry try’s to tell us.
For anyone who does suffer from depression, firstly, seek help and don’t try and go it alone. We also have a whole section on natural way’s to treat and beat depression. Here’s the link…
Home Remedies for Depression That Give Powerful Results.
“Chemotherapy Causes Breast Cancer Tumors to Grow Rather Than Shrink”…
Scientists from the Cancer Research Institute in Russia have found that chemotherapy can actually stimulate the growth of a tumor, rather than diminish it as previously thought. The study, published in the Siberian Journal of Oncology, really does throw an unwanted spanner in the works for the medical profession, who still advocate chemotherapy for breast cancer patients.
Scientists studied chemotherapy patients with breast cancer and analysed biopsies of the cancer as they prepared for surgery. In 23% of the women, they actually found a new tumor formation.
Some chromosomes or partial chromosomes doubled and the tumor cells became more resistant. This phenomenon is known as “amplification” and is unfortunately one of the many negative consequences of chemotherapy. Almost all of the patients developed metastases in the five-year period of observation.
Researchers concluded that under the effects of chemotherapy, it’s possible for this cancer drug to stimulate the growth of a resistant tumor rather than actually shrink it.

About the Writer: After being struck down with a severe and debilitating illness at the age of 26 and told by medical doctors that nothing more could be done for him, Troy Sawyer decided to find his own cure through natural recovery methods. Following three years of extensive research into nutritional therapy, he discovered that a deficiency of certain essential nutrients was the cause of his illness. He also discovered that over 90% of diseases are caused by a lack of these essential nutrients and that science has now been able to prove that health and longevity is virtually impossible if the body doesn’t receive these nutrients on a daily basis!
The problem, however, is as a result of the radical changes in farming methods used today, the food we eat no longer supplies us with enough of these important nutrients. In Troy’s case, he had always eaten healthy foods yet still became sick. Only after he began to include certain nutritional supplements in his diet did he regain his health.
Today, at 47 years young, Troy enjoys the kind of vibrant health and sense of well-being that most people long for, and has spent the last 18 years helping others achieve the same, working as a health and wellness coach. He has also continued to further his knowledge and stay up to date on Natural Medicine and Nutritional Therapies by studying part time.

One important fact about divine revelation is its veracity in all that it affirms. God’s disclosure about Himself and the nature of reality are always inerrant. Inerrancy applies first to natural revelation: whatever the Lord says to us in nature is without error. Our interpretation of this revelation is not always without error, as the continual revision of scientific hypotheses demonstrates; nevertheless, what the created order tells us is true, whether or not we understand it.
Although God’s revelation in nature is no less true than His inscripturated or written revelation, we are usually thinking of the Bible when we use the term inerrancy. Psalm 12:6 is one of the many biblical texts that affirm inerrancy. The words of the Lord are pure, like silver that has been purified so thoroughly that no impurities remain. Unlike the speech of human beings that is filled with lies (vv. 1–4), the Word of God contains no dross — no error is mixed with His truth.
Biblical inerrancy must be understood rightly, otherwise we run into all kinds of problems. Importantly, inerrancy applies only to what Scripture actually affirms, not to every statement a biblical character makes. Consider Joseph’s experience with Potiphar’s wife in Genesis 39:11–18. What is inerrant here is the record of what Potiphar’s wife said and did. Scripture does not affirm the inerrancy of the statement of Potiphar’s wife itself. Though she did say what the text attributes to her, the meaning of her words to the men of the house was false (vv. 16–18).
The focus on the veracity of what Scripture actually affirms also allows us to take into account the use of poetic imagery. Isaiah 55:12 speaks of the trees clapping their hands when God redeems the exiles. Were the Bible to actually affirm here that trees have hands, this text would not be inerrant, for trees are clearly handless. But all that Isaiah is affirming is that creation itself will rejoice at the salvation of God’s people (Rom. 8:19–23), and he is using metaphor to do so.
A full exposition of biblical inerrancy is impossible within the confines of this study, and a good resource on the topic like Scripture Alone by R.C. Sproul is commended for further study. And as Dr. Sproul and other scholars have shown, we can be confident in the absolute trustworthiness of the Bible.
The health of the church depends upon a firm commitment to the inerrancy of Scripture. Once the idea that Scripture teaches some false things is accepted, what fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith will fall next? But inerrancy must be properly understood lest we falsely accuse others of denying it. We must also take care in interpreting the Bible, for while the text is inerrant, our interpretations are not necessarily so.

Toronto police say they are looking for a suspect after an American man died following a stabbing in Toronto’s east end.
Police and paramedics were called to an apartment building on Eglinton Avenue East, just west of Midland Avenue, at around 5:10 p.m. on Jan. 13.
The victim was identified by police as 25-year-old Mohamed Jeylani from Minnesota. He was later pronounced dead in hospital, police said.
The death marked Toronto’s first homicide of 2021.
On Sunday, police said 24-year-old Guled Mohamad, from Toronto, is wanted on a warrant for second-degree murder.
Police said the suspect is “believed to be armed and dangerous. If located, do not approach. Call 911 immediately.”

The philosopher Hannah Arendt was one of the most profoundly original political thinkers of the twentieth century. A cultivated intellectual and scholar who had been educated in Weimar Germany, Arendt confronted in her work the abuses of power under both fascist and communist totalitarianism. Her unique approach to politics undertakes a phenomenological investigation of the fundamental conditions and possibilities of political life, and by way of this inquiry she shows these conditions to be a vital component of authentic human existence.
She was born Johanna Arendt on 14 October 1906 in Hannover. Her parents, Paul and Martha Arendt, were secular Jews and socialists from Königsberg, East Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia). …

Starting a company means days, weeks, months and months of behind the scenes toil to make sure every teeny tiny little detail is perfect – or as close to it as possible. Business plans, product designs, prototypes, locations, employees, branding, website, creative content, blog posts, funding, everything. But once all this in place and you can finally start thinking about your launch, that’s when you suddenly get halted by the dazzling white unicorn that is “the buzz”.
It’s that idea of creating excitement around your business, creating a tidal wave of anticipation the likes of which only happens when another generation of iPhone is released. Ask any business owner and they will tell you that this elusive buzz is the secret weapon of success. Get it right and you can thrive from the get-go, but miss the mark and you’re left surviving for way longer than you hoped you would. It’s the dream-maker-cum-soul-crusher.
Now, let it be said, there is no surefire way to get people nattering about your business or product. There is no avenue of guarantees that will see word of mouth lift you into the next edition of Forbes Magazine. For that, your best bet is to have something truly incredible and then some next-level customer service skills. That’s the trick.
But let’s say you already have these must-haves in place, what else can you do to boost the buzz without breaking the bank? Well, read on and you’ll find out…
- A Tagline That Changes Lives
Every product needs a unique selling point in order to succeed, so you need to think outside the box, figure out what yours is and then put it into words. Let people know what you do, how your idea alters the status quo and how it will change the user’s life for the better, and then use these to develop a marketing hook. It doesn’t need to be the next Nike slogan, but it does need to catch people’s attention, be memorable and have people talking. That’s the aim of the game here.
- Exclusivity Through Invites
Think about this one for a moment or two; what are you more likely to attend, an open exhibition at an art gallery showcasing an artist you have never heard of, or an private exhibition at an art gallery that you have been personally invited too? Exactly. That is the power exclusivity has. It feeds into people’s sense of importance, while also capitalising on both anticipation and scarcity, which are all great for building a buzz. This is how some of the biggest names out there began, brands like Ello and Spotify. It was that idea that you are special. Never underestimate that.
- Giveaways Generate Interest
One of the more engaging and fun ways to boost that buzz and grow your exposure is to hold contests and stage giveaways well in advance of your launch. Not only will this see your name start to bounce around people’s lips and see names start to fill up on your sign-up form, you will find you start to get in front of your target audience too. In terms of what prizes you go with, you want things that will connect with everyone in that demographic you are chasing while also ushering people toward your website. It could be giving away your very own lanyards and branded t-shirts, it could be tickets to the opening night of your bar or restaurant, or a meal with that celebrity friend of yours that you managed to rope into helping you out, or a two-night stay in a yurt. It could be anything that you want, so long as it is unique, memorable and meaningful.
- Sneak Peaks On Social
Another way to start having whispers fly around the campfire before anything has been properly announced is to provide little sneak peaks like this one, teaser shots and behind the scenes footage on your social media pages. So long as you have plenty of content in the pipeline and branded pages ready for people to gawp at, you will find people’s interest get’s piqued and they are left wanting to find out more. They start Googling your brand name, they start scrolling through Facebook to find out more and they start talking to their friends and colleagues to see if they have any more of a scoop. To nail this tactic and really heap on the anticipation, you want to leave as much as you can to the imagination while simultaneously hinting at what is to come. Drop clues of what the future holds a week or two before the future arrives and slowly leak bits of information that will ensure they rush to your store when the big day comes.
- Influencers Do The Talking
One of the hardest parts of building a buzz around anything is reaching your target audience on a level that completely engages them and makes them want to know more about you. You want to get instant credibility, and that is where influencers enter the frame. These people have built up a following of disciples that almost subconsciously follow their every photo. Now, getting your product onto Insta-famous person’s feed takes money. But that isn’t the only way to piggyback their credibility. Share and retweet their content, reach out to them through direct messages, comment under their images and start building an affiliation with them. Trust us, you have no idea what this can lead on to, what connections you could make and the amount of traffic it could send your way.
- A Wicked Good Web Page
While you are getting the rest of your website absolutely perfect, don’t lose out on any online interest or traffic by having yourself a landing page; one that grabs people by the imagination and encourages them to “sign up on the form below”. Think of it as a pre-launch web page that is designed to help you gauge customer interest early on while also allowing you to capitalise on any early birds into leads. The trick is to make this page as light, quick and user-friendly as possible. Anything too heavy or time consuming and you will lose their interest. Instead, think of this in the same light as you would your social media sneak peaks.

Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency has detained another top Afghan Taliban leader. Agha Jan Mohtasim, the former Finance Minister during the Taliban regime and the son-in-law of Mullah Mohammed Omar, the leader of the Taliban, is said to have been arrested along with three associates, according to The Daily Mail and The Associated Press. US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal would not comment on reports of Mohtasim’s arrest.
Pakistani intelligence officials are said to be interrogating Mohtasim, who was detained in a raid in Karachi. The date of his capture was not disclosed.
Mohtasim is thought to be one of several candidates to take over the Quetta Shura after Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar was detained by Pakistani security forces sometime in January of Febuary of this year. Mohtasim is said to be a close confidant to Mullah Omar. [See LWJ report, “The Afghan Taliban’s top leaders,” for more details]
If Mohtasim is in Pakistani custody, he would be the sixth member of the Afghan Taliban’s top council to be detained this year. Over the past two months, Pakistani security forces have detained Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the second in command of the Taliban and the director of the council; Maulvi Abdul Kabir, the leader of the Peshawar Regional Military Shura; Mullah Abdul Salam, the shadow governor of Kunduz; Mullah Mir Mohammed, the shadow governor of Baghlan province; and Mohammed Younis, the former shadow governor of Zabul province.
Baradar and Younis, like Mohtasim, are reported to have been detained in Karachi. The Afghan Taliban began moving key members of the Quetta Shura to Karachi last fall after the US threatened to strike the Taliban leadership based in the city of Quetta using unmanned Predator and Reaper attack aircraft.
Afghanistan has sought the extradition of Baradar, Kabir, Salam, Mir Mohammed, and Younis, but a top Pakistani court blocked any transfer until the court rules on their status.
Pakistan’s motivations for detaining the top leaders of the Afghan Taliban after allowing them to operate on Pakistani soil for more than eight years have been questioned. Some analysts believe the Pakistani military establishment and the government have begun to see the Afghan Taliban as a real threat to Pakistan’s security. Other analysts think the Pakistanis are attempting to seize control of or sabotage a possible negotiated settlement to the war in Afghanistan, while currying favor with the US, which has been critical of Pakistan’s inaction against the Taliban’s leaders. [See LWJ report, “Another senior Afghan Taliban leader detained in Pakistan,” for more details.]

The lockout may be wearing on in Major League Baseball, but minor league and amateur baseball continues apace. The lean winter months are when we at LL traditionally start preparing for the next year’s draft, and this year that tradition will be especially spirit-fueling as things remain quiet on the MLB front.
As a reminder, the Mariners this year will pick 21st in the Draft, right behind the World Series Champion Atlanta Braves. That’s a fun and not at all infuriating sentence to type. MLB Pipeline just dropped their Top 100 Draft Prospects list, so we’ll be starting out this year’s series by looking at who might be available around when the Mariners are slated to pick, while understanding these lists will vary wildly between now and draft day. But hey, you gotta start somewhere, so let’s start right at #21 on MLB’s current iteration of the list: infielder Cameron Collier.
As a high schooler, Collier was expected to be a top-five prospect in the 2023 draft before electing to reclassify into the 2022 draft, withdrawing from his Georgia high school and earning his GED before enrolling at Chipola College, a Florida junior college well-known for producing draft prospects. That means instead of being one of the older prep prospects in 2023, Collier, who just turned 17 in November, will be one of the youngest prospects in the ‘22 draft. In an August Instagram post announcing his decision to reclassify, Collier thanked his father, eight-season MLB veteran Lou Collier, for his guidance, along with former big-league mentors like Marquis Grissom and Marvin Freeman.
Like dad Lou, Cam Collier is a third baseman, although at 6’2”/210, he’s significantly bigger and stronger than his pops. His already-strong lower half leads some scouts to wonder if the younger Collier might eventually wind up a corner outfielder if his body continues to mature, but he draws praise at the hot corner for smooth footwork, a strong and accurate throwing arm, and solid defensive instincts. His defense has stood out at various showcase events, not necessarily with shiny highlight plays that blow up draft Twitter, but through capable consistency, solid fundamentals, and an innate ability to read the ball off the bat and react quickly that results in plays like this:
Georgia 2022 infielder Cam Collier (@Cam_Collier16) taking a flawless round of infield and showing off his smooth lefty stroke at our @NB_Baseball @P15Sports @ftrstarsseries Main Event. @LouisvilleBSB commit pic.twitter.com/FqbahGGjFW— New Balance (@ftrstarsseries) October 1, 2021
As intriguing as Collier’s defense at the hot corner is—especially considering the historical dearth of third base prospects in Seattle’s system—it’s not always productive to spend a lot of time discussing the future defensive position of someone who can’t even vote yet. Like most premier prep prospects, Collier has also seen success on the mound as a pitcher—and that arm strength certainly shows up in his throws from third—but it’s his hit and power tools that will make his future in professional baseball. As one might expect from a player who grew up steeped in the game and playing against older competition, Collier has a more-advanced-than-his-years approach at the plate, displaying patience in the batter’s box in selecting pitches he can drive to all fields without selling out for power. He can work a long at-bat and make mature adjustments on the fly even while down in the count.
Collier’s effortless lefty swing has earned him significant acclaim on the showcase circuit. Beginning from a wide stance to make use of that massive lower-half power, he has a relatively simple load, just a slight slide-step back with his lead foot, and quiet hands, relying on his natural strength to drive the ball. If you, like me, dislike the aesthetics of a longball-geared, violent swing of the Bellinger/Olson/Harper variety, bathe your eyeballs in the velvet smoothness of Collier’s swing:
The pure pulchritude of Collier’s swing is often described with adjectives like “effortless” or “easy,” but I personally favor “buttery.” And not that store brand barely-yellow stuff, but the rich, creamy, European butter that costs like ten dollars a stick.
From both a skills and makeup perspective, Collier seems like a solid match for the Mariners, and he’s the right age to slot into that next wave of prospects headlined by 2021 first-rounder Harry Ford. There is, unfortunately, a possibility he climbs out of the Mariners’ clutches with a strong performance in his jump-started college career. Currently MLB Pipeline are the high ones on Collier, with many other outlets positioning him later or outside of the first round entirely; FanGraphs, which has him in the mid-20s, isn’t sold on the consistent quality of Collier’s contact, noting his swing path could be limiting, and others have noted that with his physical body likely close to maxed-out, there’s less ceiling and projection than in the typical prep prospect. Collier’s tools, while solid, aren’t as loud as the kinds of things that generate top-of-the-charts-type buzz, and his speed grade has been dinged with some below-average running times, which keeps him in the Mariners’ draft vicinity for now. And while all that is subject to change between now and draft day, Mariners fans might consider following along with Collier’s college career, however short it might be.

We would like to thank all those who participated in this November's Monthly Mix-Up challenge! This month was by far the most active in the series' history, with over 35 submissions. Not only was the quantity of entries unprecedented, but the quality of submissions made it incredibly hard to narrow down the field into a list of contenders. We both applaud you and curse you for making it so difficult for the judges! Without further delay, the winner of November's Monthly Mix-Up challenge for the theme of Mash-Ups is... WINNER: m_macdonald Click here to listen! For the second straight month, Michael swooped in during the dying moments of the contest and floored us. His mash-up of four Linkin Park songs forced us to re-evaluate our initial position that it would take more than a LP vs. LP mash-up to win this contest. Great job, Michael! Songs Used: Linkin Park - Now I See (With You demo) Linkin Park - When They Come For Me Linkin Park - Wretches & Kings Linkin Park - Numb/Encore (Bonus Beat) RUNNER UP: UncertainSound Click here to listen! UncertainSound's mix of Pendulum's "The Vulture" with "Blackout" was a fantastic use of Chester's rapid-fire vocals with Pendulum's high-tempo drum and bass. This runner-up is no stranger to mashing up songs, with many fantastic mixes to check out on his YouTube channel! Songs Used: Linkin Park - Blackout Pendulum - The Vulture RUNNER UP: GlenOrpheus Click here to listen! Glen did a great job fusing rap verses into Somewhere I Belong to give the song a whole new feel, most notably with his inclusion of Grandmaster Flash's "The Message". With SIB's signature backward guitar looping in the background, Glen's entry is a familiar-sounding but refreshing take on the original. Songs Used: Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong Fort Minor - Remember The Name Grandmaster Flash - The Message RUNNER UP: DJIntensity Click here to listen! DJIntensity's combination of MIA and Linkin Park is not what you could call a conventional marriage, but it works! The laid-back nature of "Paper Planes" fits very well with the slow-tempo ballad "Waiting For The End". Nicely done! Songs Used: Linkin Park - Waiting For The End MIA - Paper Planes Thanks again to everyone for participating in this month's challenge! We're taking a break from the contest until January 1st, at which point our Monthly Mix-Ups will start on the first day of the month and end on the last day. See you in the New Year!

Before I dive into our Mental Health Initiative, I'll tell you how it came to exist. Leading up to our annual team retreat, I send a team survey to discover what excites or worries people. The questions change year to year, but here are what appear to be the perennial questions. I'll include the majority response from the team to each item as well.
- If you could make one significant change to our company, without worrying about consequences, what would you change? Generating subscription revenue to buffer the ups and downs of client services work.
- What's the one thing you find more motivating to your work than anything else? Recognition for a job well-done.
- What's the most significant opportunity we're missing with our clients that we should be focused on? Having a support and maintenance offering.
This survey has had a significant impact on where we've put our focus and attention this year. We've created a support and maintenance offering and continue to find ways to celebrate our team for all the hard work and effort they put into their projects. But when I asked the question about making one change to our company, a couple of people responded with "better support for mental health." Having recently attended DrupalCorn in Iowa and listening to J.D. Flynn's inspiring and courageous presentation "Erasing the Stigma, Mental Health in Tech," I worried that we might not be doing enough, but I also didn't know if it was a problem—because we don't talk much about mental illness.
There's a stigma connected to mental illness, even when it's a sickness...not a weakness. Thinking of mental illness as a weakness is like telling someone who is wearing glasses that they aren't looking hard enough and shouldn't need glasses in the first place. As a company, it makes sense to help your team stay healthy, happy, and reduce the number of sick days people need to take. Depression, anxiety, and mood disorders all actively work to undermine performance and contribute to burnout. Burnout is awful.
1 in 5 adults will experience mental illness within a given year.

God, in all his wisdom, chose to leave many things about Heaven unrevealed. There are some things that we could not comprehend; others that are simply unspeakable (2 Corinthians 12:4). What we do know, however, is that Heaven is a place where we will need nothing more, want nothing more than to worship Jesus for eternity.
If your father trusted Jesus as Lord and Savior while on earth, the Bible tells us in 1 John 3:1-2 that your father is a child of God and "that when He (Jesus) is revealed to us we shall be like Him." Your dad is God's special son made like Jesus. As much as you miss your father's love, it will not be the same. In Heaven, it will be even better as we will all be part of God's perfect family!
The Bible does indicate that the saints in Heaven can see us, and cheer us on in the race set before us (Hebrews 12:1). They rejoice in the presence of angels when one sinner gets saved (Luke 15:10).
With regard to meeting your dad in Heaven one day, the Bible tells us that everybody there still has a name. In fact, they are all written in a book (Luke 10:20). And if Peter, James, and John recognize Moses and Elijah (Matthew 17:1-3) you will surely know your dad in Heaven if you, too, have trusted Christ for eternal life.
Your wonderful father left you a priceless gift. Not only do you know where he is, but he also showed you how to get there.

When the skin around your thigh loses its elasticity from either weight loss or age, it can cause the skin to droop. A thigh lift can correct this, but by combining your thigh lift with liposuction surgery, you can do even more. With this combination, you can reshape the thigh to create a more youthful and appealing look.
Liposuction will remove any excess fat in the thighs; this will restore their contours. Once the desired shape is attained, the excess skin will be trimmed away to tighten the thighs. The end result will yield thighs that are sculpted, smooth, and tight.
Dr. Ian Lytle is a board-certified plastic surgeon with a passion for providing quality work with outstanding results. Don’t let your thighs hinder your comfort and confidence – contact us to schedule a consultation.

Facts Are Under Assault in 2020 - Politifact website “Facts and Anti-Facts” - The world is not a poem – John Williams, from the novel, Augustus Not a poem in the way a sunset is a poem or a sunrise, or even in the way a violent thunderstorm can invade you like Yeats’, The Second Coming. No, lately the world is more like a surreal documentary: no room for poetry, the news as science-fiction, full of facts and anti-facts and difficult to tell which is which. But smash them together, and they both disappear.
Because the truth matters and we have to seek it out as humans. Ed Werstein’s poems in this collection are so important for these times, and for all Wisconsinites. Our local Madison history is in these pages and poems. I like to think of poets as truth-tellers. This poem asks some big questions, poetry can do that, make you think, challenge your thought patterns.
Ed is the regional VP of the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets and lives in Milwaukee.

Complete and complete rubbish rambling about kids, kids, efforts and various other stuff I find particularly amusing.
Try English Your Next Vocabulary – Dating Parts III
Try English the second language? I am good in case it is your second words. Leave a bitch understand therefore I do not think you fell in the 3rd quality and from now on you are in worldwide messaging me personally pretending as a grown butt man with employment & crap.
Being a user of online dating sites services various circumstances over the past 7 years I’ve pointed out that some serious fuckery happens. Not simply the people become guilty of said fuckery. Web sites hit ass pieces also. These adult dating sites need to take a lesson from Fuckerburg and get their particular shit with each other. It cannot end up being that tough. Twitter is a totally free website and and the ones sluts be aware of the finally times I pooped and what type of wc paper we made use of since you is damn yes there’s offer for it the next we login. The thing these sites have as a common factor with fb is the nonstop want to get my funds. Refused.
The websites a great sample dating website shenanigans. My first-day back once again on display, I-go straight to my personal matches because I’m most passionate and shit as the guy of desires will probably be waiting around for me. Negative. You-know-who got prepared during my suits? My next door neighbors (an ex meth dealership who had been released from a federal penitentiary a couple of years ago, and also observed me personally naked a million times because Really don’t shut my personal drapes – zero bangs considering right here), a dude we spend time collectively tuesday evening (for years), my ex closest friend’s brother-in-law (who I’m sure sufficiently to have spent 9 days in Alaska with), my first Fl boyfriend’s little uncle (i have known him since he was 12 but still know him as a grownup because he may become a bar whore), and a man I recognized for age (and should not screwing stay). It had been like fb’s “folks you will know”. I know dozens of men and women and that I have zero fascination with them. Zero. Much for satisfying new-people, shitty dating internet site. I desired to simply stop trying right away because honestly, this bullshit makes my face squinch right up. I am not attractive with a squinchy face. Trust in me.
These sites also get off on subjecting its people to terrible tests. These are generally monotonous, annoying, by the full time I done with only 2 of them (you can find 5 with this certain webpages) i needed to stab every person on the site. Severely, when the drilling gents and ladies on these sites cannot actually make the effort to read the section I therefore painstakingly typed doing explain my personal bad personal, I’m pretty screwing certain they are not checking out the 3 page lengthy quiz results to see if we are a personality complement. Leave my tip along with your studies, dating internet site.
Kindly, please look over my set of my matchmaking Profile don’t’s by clicking RIGHT HERE once you complete this post. Likewise list, i have found some new crap that bunches my thong (and it is challenging bunch a thong). Men aided by the visibility pic of those during sex. You realize, your head on the pillow looking all dreamy? Thus not. They just don’t look dreamy. They appear completely terrifying. Frightening like they usually have sluts tangled up in the cellar. I am not sure the reasoning behind this specific position however, if you are sure that anyone that is especially fond of they? Tell them to fuck down for me personally.
The profile “about me personally” section is certainly not meant for 1 distinctive line of book that states: “I’ll complete this aside later on” or “When you need to understand, query myself” (and about 75per cent of profiles state those types of). Easily wished to ask you shit, I’d end up being at the club asking perhaps not trolling a goddamn website, BITCH (I entirely shook my personal mind like a black female while We typed that – photo they). Top screwing benefit of a dating internet site is you have enough time to correctly explain yourself without downing 7 vodka drinks like at club. For fuck benefit, deal with that shit.
Every man on the website cannot have the tag range “wanting an effective lady (usually spelled lady)”. There must be a limit on tag line application. Like email addresses. There could be singular, motherfucker. Web sites, analysis damn task. Great lady, my ass.
And last but very not least – that is my third make an effort to time via the internets
Every. Individual. One.
Can make ya’ believe, never they? P P B aka the Precious Princess – The Princess was a twice divorced, currently solitary, self-proclaimed member of the emotionally entertaining. This lady has come known as living under a rock stocked with vodka and anger. The woman 13 yr old “Mini”, that is carbon dioxide copy in the Princess, often is the subject of blogs, and fb blogs. In addition to that, she produces about internet dating, the dumbness of kids, lifetime after 40, and percentage reports from Ba nanaland https://datingranking.net/seniorpeoplemeet-review/ that’s both their last and latest residency. She’s the owner/sole admin for any myspace web page important Princess’s self-help guide to Bananaland where this woman is famous for the woman rants and her blunt, sincere, and sarcastic see lives. She blogs both incredibly amusing and all-the-feels posts at Princess Bananaland . She hates folks, children, and karaoke. She uses the swears and makes up dirty phrase.

Payday loan online service provider prepaid cards: the plastic that is most harmful on earth? Payday cash advances are being extremely pricey car title loan KS proper types debt across.
Paycheck improves are some of the more high priced appropriate varieties credit score rating across. And for the prior several years, payday creditors have been lucratively approaches a brand new services — prepaid plans debit black-jack cards — designed to lead to the lending products much more challenging.
“something that’s owing to a payday loan business is hardery through the get-go,” claims Kevin Weeks, president associated with the Financial Counseling Association of America, A washington-based nonprofit team.
Payday loan prepaid poster are not just just like the gifts definitely prepaid cell you select right up at CVS or Target, nor like main-stream reloadable prepaid business from country wide banks. These business allow payday financial institutions going in and seize finances from debtors’ reports on funding times being expected and they’re filled with higher fees.
Possessing a normal advance loan, consumers protect that financing upfront by writing a postdated for his or her second pay day, or authorizing its comparable on the web. But an incredible number of United States americans don’t possess lender records, that is just where loan company that is payday playing cards perhaps obtained in.
Visitors can visit a payday loan provider — money The country, confirm ‘n become, improve The country or check City, to say a couple of — therefore trying to get example of those playing cards, including the NetSpend Prepaid MasterCard, mission credit, awareness charge prepaid card or U.S. Money credit. These people consent to presenting her income crammed on top of the prepaid credit card, however they likewise authorize the payday lender to debit the prepaid be aware of financing repayments and then for different costs the moment they do.
Maybe it’s complicated because multiple these people presently utilize typical prepaid debit poster as a replacement for a financial bank account. They’re going to have their paychecks loaded the card and then apply it to purchase services or products like most a debt or debit card — although following the resources to the cards may be used upward, it may not be put on once again until the user reloads they with a growth of financing.
While pay day loan company poster might appear and appear similar to main-stream prepaid cards, they’re perhaps not, claims Lauren Saunders, link boss from the country wide buyers regulation focus (NCLC), A washington-based advocacy personnel. Saunders wrote a 2015 research, “payday loan company prepaid playing cards. july” they found will cost you clear to $14.95 for declined electronic re re repayments or longer to $25 to end repeating settlements. One credit inside study billed $4.95 for efficient fee of financial.
“Prepaid cards that permit payday loan — and make expense set off by those personal loans — take advantage of susceptible clientele and crack the promise of prepaid black-jack cards becoming a way this is certainly safer get a handle on spending,” the study wraps up.
Likewise essential alternatives such as card alternative consist of expenditure that outdo that from consistent black-jack cards being prepaid plans.
The expense pile up, fast. NetSpend prepaid business, including, can be purchased through four to the five top payday loans suppliers, typically branded under a various name. The charge card’s 27-page client get claims the terminology “fee” and “fees” 127 instances.
Overdraft charges While standard prepaid playing cards do not let overdrafts hence do not have overdraft charges, several pay day loan carrier notes carry out. Overdraft charges make it easy for buyers to acquire overdraft security, and consequently allow them to adverse purchase. To put it in different ways, the charge card would approve a $100 order and even though you will find only $20 in the cards. Anytime which takes destination, the buyer is actually hit by using a cost which is overdraft of https://cheapesttitleloans.com fifteen dollars, for NCLC studies.
Users perform overdraw: NetSpend earned fifty dollars million in over-limit costs in 2014. And though it offers an absolutely free ten dollars cushioning that is definitely overdraft 88 percent of NetSpend’s overdraft owners spend fees, NCLC research has shown.
Those rates effortlessly improve the cost of lenders which can be payday prepaid business even greater. Cash advance interest levels can operate from 390 % to practically 800 percent, according to research by the NCLC. The financial products want a balloon re re re fee — the principle and focus become due in total around the date that will be due.
Consequently, a $300 cash advance would require a re re re fees of $345 week or two later. On an annualized basis, and is these days a 300 per cent rate of interest. Overdraft rates, if the cardholder save money than is incorporated in the credit, could stop that 300 percent fee to the 500 percent range, according to Saunders.
“the biggest contrast between [mainstream black-jack cards] and payday loan company notes: The payday loan company can take a chance to seize your very own salary with regard in,” Saunders states. Cardholders who’re specially cash-strapped additionally authorize future write-offs, which means consumers will get tangled within a limitless action of taking right out money and curiosity which is having to pay and fees.
NetSpend, towards aspect, boasts that consumers decide fix for overdraft expense. In analysis recorded utilizing the visitors financing Safety agency in March 2015, Charles Harris, chairman when it comes to Austin, Texas-based business, posted that farther along controlling over-limit treatments would “negatively shape subscribers by reducing his or her capability to get financing whenever they’re more recommended.”
Larger vendor payday breakthroughs by themselves commonly are not disappearing — at the very least not for most shows. Thirty-two shows need actually enacted rules enabling money with triple-digit rates of interest, according to the customers Federation of The country.

A short description of the project, Tsena Malalaka
Tsena Malalaka: Exchange forum for women theologians of Africa, Europe...
We were led to the project of "Tsena Malalaka“ through personal contacts between African and European women theologians
- We are driven by the desire to learn more about our different contexts of life, our respective faith traditions and church realities
- We are interested in exchanging our thoughts on theological issues
- We want to experience some kind of solidarity both spiritually and with regard to material concerns.
An open space
The name of our project is "Tsena Malalaka“. The term malagasy means "open space of exchange and encounter". It also refers to a market place. Connected to the idea of being in relation is the notion of an open space in the center. It offers room for an exchange of ideas, reflexions, experiences...but also for the possibility that relational structures and modes of exchange which have been established through history (by colonization, by patriarchy...) may be changed, reinvented, and may find new freedom.
A village with its huts
Going one step further in our imagination, we locate the open space of exchange and encounter in the center of a village consisting of different huts. Each hut hosts one particular theme and serves as a meeting point for people with the same interests. We talk about huts because they are imagined to be light constructions, apt to be easily constructed, deconstructed, moved to another place if necessary. They can adapt to movement.
"Tsena Malalaka“ is an open space, yet it has its characteristics (there is no space without delimitations).
- We choose to have our exchange take place between women theologians. This allows us to include specific women's perspectives on the issues we discuss.
- The exchange we envision takes place between Christian women theologians. We want to deepen and widen our Christian identity by facing our denominational, cultural and social differences.
- We wish our exchange to take place between African and European Christian women theologians because this is how it all started. We are open to possible further developments.
- There are no rules without exception...

While everyone pays the most attention to female fashion trail blazers, it’s the male models who deliver the most iconic trends sometimes.
When it comes to fashion, we often look at female fashion trends for inspiration. But we shouldn’t forget the stylish and suave carried by dazzling male models. Unfortunately, they aren’t as popular as female models. Who should we follow? Who sets today’s trends?
With a mix of roguish charm and class that a gentleman can carry, here are some memorable top models from recent history:
Read more after the jump:
Here is one of the notable male models for having an impressive portfolio. He can even back up his elegance in appearance with his capabilities, made evident in the fact that he is a designer for an eponymous shoe brand.
There is a lot more to this wonderful man from Lisbon, Portugal aside from his appearances in H&M campaigns. Now, that is a gentleman that carries the expensive look with the capability to back it up.
2. Sean O’Pry
You may have seen O’Pry in Victor & Rolf cologne ads or in Taylor Swift’s Blank Space music video. He’s one of the models people know by face but can’t name.
This is what sets Sean O’Pry apart as one of the world’s leading male models, making him a luminary in the industry. He can bring heads to turn with his striking looks and image. His rugged American look has brought him to appear in various magazines like GQ, and even in runways for top designers worldwide.
With a look at how times have changed, you can see Cameron Dallas as a testament to this. His modeling career came to life as a side-gig, with an Instagram profile bearing about close to 20 million followers.
With that “boy-next-door” charm, you can spot him in GQ and in shows by Dolce & Gabbana. But if you want to catch more of his looks, look no further than his Instagram profile and check his photo gallery.
4. David Gandy
Sporting looks and charm that would even be fitting for an Adonis, David Gandy carries a great mix of these with his fashion credentials. He can mix high-fashion campaigns with high-street fashion lines with class, combining Dolce & Gabbana, which you can check out more of that and Gucci at SSENSE, with Marks & Spencer.
His modeling portfolio holds the promotion of British designers, but there is more to the gentleman than being unofficially dubbed as UK’s Mr. Fashion. He produces short films and even invests in small brands.
This Spanish gentleman dazzles with his distinguished features. From the chiseled cheekbones, the piercing stare, and the full pout. He has the look that brings the fans to call him as an embodiment of perfection.
He also had his acting debut in A Single Man back in 2009, which also shows another side to this Spaniard. Despite the simplicity behind his wardrobe, he continues to dazzle many.
The Verdict on the Top Male Models
What makes male models memorable is not only their looks but also how they present themselves. They continue to dazzle people worldwide with their charms and their suave personality. Emulate or idolize as you desire.

Those aware of investing within the inventory market might wish to department out a bit and spend money on stocks in other major markets apart from these of the US. One of the larger overseas stock markets is the Japanese Stock Market. There are sometimes massive booms in the economy relying on how a lot cash is in the stock market, which turn around and soon crash. The US stock market accommodates nicely-known exchanges such because the NASDAQ Stock Market and the New York Stock Alternate.
Inside this 16-year interval, the transits of Jupiter, its retrogradation and features to it are particularly influential since Jupiter assumes the second most necessary role within the NYSE chart subsequent to the moon, the chart lord. If you trade on the Hong Kong Stock Alternate, your order might be executed sometime between 9:30 pm and four:00 am New York time.
This website has all it’s worthwhile to learn How The Market Works: Quotes, Charts, Wall Road Analyst Scores, Firm Information & Monetary Statements, Buying and selling Ideas, Videos, Glossaries, Financial Calculators, Lesson Plans and more. The Stock Alternate was halted for various years between December 8, 1941 and sometime in 1946 when invading Japanese forces occupied the Shanghai International Settlement.
To get your class started with our free inventory market sport, simply register at times observe the links to create your own contest. Whereas the London Inventory Change (LSE) was handcuffed by the regulation proscribing shares, the New York Stock Alternate has dealt in the buying and selling of stocks since its inception.
The NYSE is still the biggest and, arguably, strongest stock change on this planet. The crash in 1987 raised some puzzles – predominant information and occasions did not predict the catastrophe and visible reasons for the collapse weren’t identified. Later, the joint stock firms were started by the Dutch folks, which witnessed the persevering with trend of incomes the profit or loss within the enterprise sector, during which the shareholders have invested.

Coronavirus Update: Nonprofit & Social Sector
By Thomas Raffa, Nonprofit & Social Sector National Leader
Each hour the headlines about the coronavirus pandemic raise our anxiety level. And while fear is a natural reaction, we must move our communities from fear to action for good. And who best to do this than the nonprofits that spend a good part of their lives working for others and for social change?
During such times, many more people are and will be in need of the help that is offered by many of our nonprofit organizations. And with more demand comes the need for more funding. Sadly, it is during these times that fundraising also become the most challenging. Fundraising events are cancelled, foundation earnings and corpuses that fund grants are in turmoil, the corporations that may be your partners are dealing with total shut downs, and individuals in fear of the unknown are likely concerned more about the immediate needs of their own families than those in their communities.
- As a leader, your priority should be to communicate the situation frequently and openly with your staff, board, funders, donors and suppliers. For donors, focus on existing relationships. Build further trust with these stakeholders. And be sure to communicate the positive impact your organization is having to anchor their support.
- Don’t be afraid to ask more of those that have given before. And don’t just tell them how much money you need but how much you need to do and the impact you can have given your prior accomplishments.
- With limited resources should come a refocus of your core mission. Think very critically on what can be done effectively with your current and projected funding. It is likely we may not feel the full fallout from the pandemic until the virus itself is under control. So be sure to plan very conservatively on the dollars that may come in through the end of the calendar year.
- What may seem important is outcomes and long-term survival, but the reverse is also true. Understanding resources will be limited, don’t be afraid to shift these resources to the one thing your organization excels at.
- Look around you to find other businesses (nonprofits and for profits) that are complimentary to your work. Find ways to partner employing the strengths of others. The social ills that effect our communities could not previously be resolved by one provider. There is no reason to think this need for collaborative efforts won’t by magnified with this pandemic.
- You need to manage any cash and cash flow you may have. Resist across-the-board cuts. It will work temporarily but the program or programs you intend to focus on may become ineffective. Think more strategically. Decide on the programs that will need to be eliminated and then think about cost-savings within the people, activities and programs that will remain. Eliminating or delaying unnecessary expenses may seem obvious, but look for other less expensive ways to accomplish some of the same things (e.g., replace travel with technology). Ask your suppliers for delayed payment terms, reductions in their charges, in-kind donations. No one should escape such requests: landlords, bankers, etc. Think about an overall reduction in compensation for your staff. It may be better for everyone to take a 25% cut in pay rather than to cut 25% of your workforce.
There is not one right answer to navigating uncertain times, only our experience based on strategies and tactics that will lead your organization to making sound choices. These same strategies are at the core of sound management during good times. They become even more critical now.

Brainard’s hawkish comments buoy the US dollar
The US dollar rose overnight as US long-dated yields spiked higher after very hawkish comments from the Fed’s Brainard, previously one of its most dovish officials. A robust ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI and ISM Non-Manufacturing employment, new orders and business activity served as an additional tailwind. The dollar index rose 0.50% to 99.48, gaining another 0.10% to 99.58 in Asia.
The dollar index has now moved through resistance at 99.50, which technically, suggests the rally should extend to the 100.50/101.00 region for starters. I would prefer to see a more sustained break of 99.50 before making that call, but with interest rate differentials widening, and the situation darkening in Eastern Europe, dips should be well supported now. The longevity of the US dollar rally from here really depends on whether you believe markets have fully priced in the Fed’s tightening cycle. The FOMC minutes may help answer that, but looking around the world right now, the US dollar is definitely one of the least ugly horses in the glue factory.
EUR/USD slumped again with more Russian sanctions on the way, French election nerves and climbing US yields. It fell 0.60% to 1.0905 and is now within shouting distance of muti-year, and multi-decade support, if your charts go back to the ’90s. A sustained break would target 1.0600 and 1.0300 initially. Resistance is now at 1.1200, with longer-term resistance at 1.1320. If the sanctions to be announced today are softer than expected, EUR/USD could stage a relief rally above 1.1000, but I suspect any gains will be hard to maintain.
The moves higher in US yields saw USD/JPY rally through resistance at 123.25, climbing 0.68% to 123.60. It has added another 0.13% to 123.77 in Asia. Rather surprisingly, there has been no “watching FX markets closely” noise from the Bank of Japan or Ministry of Finance today, emboldening USD/JPY bulls and powered by an ever-widening US/Japan rate differential. The late March highs at 125.10 are now in sight again, followed by 125.80. Unless the FOMC minutes are less hawkish tonight, allowing markets to assume they have priced the worst in for the FOMC on monetary tightening, USD/JPY should find plenty of support into 122.50.
AUD/USD surged 200 points higher at one stage yesterday after the RBA changed its statement language to a slightly hawkish tone. Brainard’s comments in the US saw the fast money retreat just as quickly, pushing AUD/USD all the way back from 0.7660 to 0.7580, where it remains in Asia. Nevertheless, AUD/USD has held above its breakout point at 0.7550, a bullish technical development. With markets playing catchup to RBA tightening, support on the crosses against low yields like the yen, and robust commodity prices, AUD/USD should find its way back to 0.7660, sooner rather than later.
The PBOC set a neutral USD/CNY fixing at 6.3799 today after the holiday break. Nonetheless, both USD/CNY and USD/CNH are trading much lower at 6.3630 and 6.3760. The persistent yuan strength is anchoring regional Asian currencies, which only made small losses versus the US dollar overnight. The Philippines peso has been unusually strong the past week and I am wondering if the BSP, and other regional central banks, might be quietly “smoothing” markets by selling US dollars. A very hawkish FOMC minutes this evening will likely see more US dollar strength and renew downward pressure on Asian currencies. However, unless China steps up its efforts to weaken the yuan, regional currencies should be spared the worst of the greenback strength.

Studies show that many people are reducing the amount of alcohol they drink and are embracing less potent options. Between trends like #DryJanuary and younger consumers who’ve become “sober curious,” a wave of mindful drinking is leading to a worldwide shift in consumer trends in the beverage industry. The reasoning often centers around the desire to be part of the party without compromising health. For those who are not swearing off alcohol completely, mindful drinking is about feeling better and staying present in celebratory moments.
Yet, a special occasion often calls for a celebratory beverage. If people are drinking less, what does this mean when holidays, birthdays and anniversaries roll around? An interesting celebration beverage for a special occasion can make all the difference, and that is why Martinelli’s added Sparkling Blush to our family of Gold Medal sparkling ciders.
Depending on how you choose to celebrate, Martinelli’s Sparkling Blush can be a fun alcohol-free alternative, or used as a mixer with spirits, prosecco and champagne. Its crisp and refreshing taste also makes it perfect for Spring and Summer gatherings. Made from US grown fresh apples, Sparkling Blush has a splash of raspberry juice to give it a pink color and crisp taste. This beautiful rose’ colored bubbly can be enjoyed on its own or mixed into a delicious mocktail or cocktail.
Because it’s from Martinelli’s, consumers know it will be delicious and without added sugar or chemical preservatives. Its pink color and clear glass bottle make it a new way to celebrate with Martinelli’s for non-holiday occasions like prom parties, graduations, baby showers, weddings and summer gatherings. Successful party planners know that it’s important to be “inclusive” and to have beverage options for people at the party who are seeking something alcohol free but still fun and special.
No matter your alcohol preferences, we know you’ll love this new addition to the Gold Medal family. You can find Sparkling Blush at most major retailers across the country as well as our Company Store and Tasting Room in Watsonville, California.

Ireland West Airport, Knock in Co. Mayo
The inaugeral flight from this airport departed on October 24th 1985, in the form of three Aer Lingus charter flights to Rome.
The airport was officially opened on May 30th 1986. In the intervening years it has been known as Knock International Airport, Connacht Regional Airport, and Horan International Airport.
Subsequently referred to as Ireland West Airport Knock (IWAK), this thriving, modern airport serves communities throughout the west, north and midlands of Ireland, with its popularity and usage going from strength to strength.
The airport was the brainchild of Monsignor James Horan, Parish Priest of Knock, 1967 - 1986.
Often referred to as the 'Builder of Knock', he was a dynamic man who had immense foresight and worked tirelessly to improve the facilities in Knock for pilgrims and parishioners alike.
Msgr Horan knew that an International airport in the west of Ireland would be a catalyst for the development of industry and tourism.
Despite widespread opposition and bureaucratic resistance, his persistent campaigning paid off, resulting in the multi-million pound airport that turned his vision into a reality.
With the rapid growth and development at the airport and the ever expanding range of flights to the UK and Europe, passenger numbers are growing year after year.
Ireland West Airport Knock is the preferred airport within a broad catchment area due to the choice and value the airport offers.
The airport now serves more than 20 scheduled and charter destinations across Ireland, the UK, Europe and beyond.
As Ireland’s fourth international airport, IWAK offers first class travel and tourism opportunities with regular connections to and from global destinations, from the west of Ireland.

- Chamber Recognition for Industry 2008 (Mayo Business Awards)
Song and Story
Irish folk singer-songwriter Christy Moore wrote and recorded the "Knock Song", a comic Irish folk tune about the construction of Knock airport.
The musical "On a Wing and a Prayer" which premiered in the Royal Theatre, Castlebar, on November 25th 2010, deals with the life and times of Monsignor James Horan, focusing on his onerous uphill struggle to get the airport built.

Racing a Better Boston Marathon
Seasoned Boston marathoners will tell you that the challenge of the race isn’t Heartbreak Hill. The challenge is the miles and miles of downhill leading into Heartbreak Hill. These downhill miles trash your quads just as you enter the most important part of the marathon – the last 10 miles. Handle those first 16 miles better and you’ll likely have a better finishing dive down into Boston after you crest Heartbreak Hill.
Sounds easy enough, but having coached hundreds of Boston qualifiers, I know that not all of us are created equal when it comes to our ability to run downhill well and, maybe more importantly for Boston, to run downhill in a way that our bodies can tolerate.
To get ready to run a better Boston and handle the early downhill miles with ease, you can employ two different strategies.
1. FIND YOUR BEST DOWNHILL RUNNING TECHNIQUE
And no, there isn’t one best downhill (or uphill) technique for all runners. But, there is likely one that’s best for you. You just have to figure it out through a little experimentation.
Any time you encounter a downhill, play around with your form. Adjust your body position (lean forward more, then lean backwards more). Adjust your foot plant (land more on your heels, then land more on your toes). Hold your arms lower, then higher and see what feels best. Lastly, adjust your stride rate. Try running with a faster cadence, then try a slower cadence. See how you feel. What makes you faster on the downhill? What makes the downhill feel less stressful to your body? Hopefully, those two will be the same, but they may not be, and this is important to know. For Boston, the downhill form that is least stressful on the body is the most important one. You can save that lightning-fast downhill technique for times when you aren’t worried about shredding your quads.
2. USE DELAYED ONSET MUSCLE SORENESS (DOMS) TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
My first coaching mentor, Guy Avery, wrote an article on this concept way back in the early 1990s. In the article, he advises creating a little soreness in your quads in training for a race like Boston. Use the training techniques below to safely stress the quads, and they’ll grow more resistant to the eccentric loading that downhill running creates. The result is that the downhills in Boston won’t tear up your muscles as badly. In other words, get a little sore in training so you can be strong for the race.
There are two great ways to create a safe amount of DOMS. First, any time you encounter a downhill on a run, pick up the pace. You need to do this to find your best downhill running technique as described above anyway, but this strategy also challenges your quads to grow more resistant to downhill running stress. Because we runners tend to be extremists, I’ll include my usual qualifier that you must be sensible to not overdo the downhill running. You want to be a little sore but not debilitatingly sore or even injured. Use common sense.
Second, begin to perform your post-run strides on a slight downhill. (You already do four to six 100m strides a few times per week after easy runs year-round, right?) Again, don’t get too extreme with the downhill; find a slight decline that challenges your quads. There should be nothing more than slight soreness a day or two after. This soreness shouldn’t interfere with your training.
A little more focus on downhill running in the last few weeks leading into the marathon will pay big dividends at Boston. Start with slight declines run at a moderately fast pace and progress to steeper downhills and a faster pace. Find your best downhill form and remember that it’s OK (indeed, recommended) that your quads are a bit sore after your downhill workouts. Just be sensible about this training concept. You don’t need much downhill training to get the desired benefits. With a little extra focus you’ll Boston-proof your quads for a faster race day.

Do You Need To Notify Medicare When Someone Dies
Social Security: You must notify the Social Security Administration of the death, and apply for any possible Social Security death benefits and survivors benefits. You will need the deceaseds Social Security number and date of birth. The Social Security office automatically notifies Medicare of the death.
Are Funeral Costs Covered By Medicare
Medicare will not cover funeral or burial expenses. Your beneficiaries could use money from a Medicare Medical Savings Account or Social Security survivors benefits in some circumstances to help pay for a funeral. Making sure you have savings set aside for final expenses is a key part of retirement planning.
At What Age Is Social Security No Longer Taxed
At 65 to 67, depending on the year of your birth, you are at full retirement age and can get full Social Security retirement benefits tax-free. However, if youre still working, part of your benefits might be subject to taxation. The IRS adds the figures for your earnings and half your Social Security benefits.

Medicare Plus A Medicare Supplement Plan Can Help You Save Money On Medical Bills
Navigating health problems can be challenging. While it won’t cover funeral costs, Medicare can help ensure you have one less thing to worry about when it comes to health care costs.
Original Medicare can cover common treatment options as well as hospice care towards the end of life, and a Medicare Supplement plan can help ease your financial burden during this already stressful time by paying for certain Medicare deductibles, coinsurance, copays and more. That means you can focus on improving your health and spending time with your family, without worrying about the cost of treatment.
A licensed agent can help you decide on a Medicare option that works for you. Call today to speak with a licensed agent and compare the Medigap plans that are available where you live.
Out Of Pocket Coverage For Hospice Care
Medicare does not cover long-term care. You could need long-term care if you develop an illness where you need a skilled nursing facility or assisted living facility for months or years on end. Those with dementia or other diseases that cause mental deterioration often need long-term care. Health insurance does not cover long-term care.
With an illness that requires continuous care but is not terminal, youll need long-term care. Hospice care sometimes happens in a long-term care facility, but it is not the same as long-term care. Many choose to pay for long-term care with special insurance or Medicaid coverage.
However, suppose you need long-term care because you are terminally ill with a prognosis of 6 months or less to live. In that case, you may qualify for hospice care coverage from Medicare, the Veterans Health Administration, or Medicaid.
Other Types Of State Assistance
Some states offer special programs to cover burial or cremation costs if you are indigent and your estate cannot cover these expenses. To find out if this is applicable in your state, search the internet for Medicaid funeral expenses.
For example, in Connecticut, the Department of Social Services will pay up to $1,200, reduced by funds available from certain sources, such as an IFT or life insurance policy. In Colorado, the Department of Human Services helps low-income residents by paying up to $1,500 to the cremation or burial service provider.
Do I Need To Report A Medicare Beneficiarys Death
You will need to report a Medicare beneficiarys death whether they had been receiving Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage.
Receiving benefits meant for someone who has died is considered fraud, and you should notify Social Security of a death as soon as possible.
Have the deceased persons Social Security number ready and call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 to report the death.
The funeral home you use can often handle contacting Medicare and Social Security to report the death if you give them the Social Security number.
A death must also be reported to the U.S. Railroad Retirement Board if the deceased person had been receiving benefits. A RRB representative can be reached at 1-877-772-5772.

Military & Veteran Assistance
To help with funeral costs, all military veterans are entitled to a free burial in a national cemetery and a grave marker. Spouses and dependent children of veterans are also entitled to a plot and marker in a national cemetery.
For veterans, there are typically no costs for opening and closing the grave, for a vault liner, or for setting the grave marker. The family is usually responsible for other funeral costs such as transportation.
Many states have established veteran cemeteries, but some commercial cemeteries offer discounts for veterans. These cemeteries sometimes offer a free plot for the veteran, but sometimes charge high fees to open and close the grave. Its important to evaluate all of your options before choosing a commercial cemetery.
For non-service-related deaths, the US Department of Veterans Affairs will pay as much as $780 in burial expenses. To receive this amount, the deceased must have been hospitalized by the VA at the time of death. Without VA hospitalization, the VA will pay $300 toward expenses. If you do not plan to bury your loved one in a national cemetery, you could receive an additional $780 plot-interment allowance.
For service-related deaths, the VA will pay up to $2,000 toward burial expenses. For veterans buried in a VA national cemetery, the agency may also pay you back for your transportation costs. To receive reimbursement, you must meet the following requirements:
For more information, read our funeral planning guide for veterans.
State Help With Funeral Costs
Every state has a specific budget and rules for funeral assistance. Although, you can always contact that state department of health or the county coroner for help. The Department of Health and Human Services may provide burial for poverty-stricken people. Youll apply for help at the health department in the county where the deceased resided.
Some states dont provide funeral assistance. But, there may be county or city assistance. Funeral help varies across the nation. Yet, one thing is clear, no matter which state you live in, burial policies give your family peace of mind during a time of grief.

Does Social Security Pay For Cremation
While reviewing Your Social Security Statement, the document available on the Social Security Administration website, you may notice a section for survivors and wonder if the Social Security Administration covers any funeral expenses. The short answer is no however, there are survivor benefits that may help.
Social Security eligibility
Most people are required to meet the criteria of having accumulated at least 40 credits over a lifetime of working before they are eligible for Social Security benefits. A maximum of four credits can be earned in one year. Therefore, the typical SS applicant would have a history of working and paying SS taxes over the course of at least 10 years. Income may be derived from employment with an organization or from self-employment. For purposes of Social Security benefits, the earliest retirement age is 62. If Your Social Security Statement includes estimated benefits, that signifies you have earned enough to qualify. Young people applying for disability or survivor benefits need less credits to be eligible.
Monthly survivor benefits
If you have earned sufficient credits for your family to obtain survivor benefits, the statement will break down estimated monthly benefit amounts for your:
- Spouse who is caring for your child.
- Spouse, if benefits start at full retirement age.
- Total family benefits maximum.

Regarding funeral costs, the answer is, unfortunately, the same.

How To Spend Down For Medicaid With A Prepaid Funeral Plan
If you are in need of spending down assets to qualify for Medicaid coverage for long term care, you may be considering the purchase of a prepaid funeral plan to preserve some of your assets for your family.
Medicaid is a joint state and federally funded health insurance program intended for people with low income and a critical need for medical care. Those whose non-exempt assets are above the state-mandated amount cannot qualify for assistance until their assets are drained by health care costs. This can be devastating for a family that has saved diligently over the years, especially if a spouse or dependent child is involved.
Fortunately, there are certain ways to reduce non-exempt assets or to spend down assets in very specific ways so that they are excludedand thus protectedfrom the total assets considered to qualify for Medicaid.

The Consequence of Air Pollution
The Lancet Commission added air pollution to the top modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Traffic pollution has been linked with :
- Neurodevelopmental delay

With the number of swine flu cases on the rise, experts are debating when
exactly Tamiflu must be administered to get a proper response.
"The H1N1 virus changes form periodically and this is why it should not be
taken lightly. Besides, Tamiflu has to be given in the first 48 hours of the
onset of symptoms," Dr Akhil Mukim, who is part of a team developing swine
flu vaccine told the Times of India.
He also said that people must avoid public functions, insist on meetings in
open air settings, keep offices well ventilated and avoid sitting in the
centrally air-conditioned offices for long time.
The World Health Organization has already warned that diabetic
persons, pregnant women, infants, anaemic patients, asthamatic people and
people with hypertension and heart diseases are at a greater risk of
suffering from complications caused by swine flu.

A lot of my blog posts center around techniques and methods for how to get what you want in life. After all, that’s what the Law of Attraction is all about, right? Getting what you want. But what if you haven’t got a clue what you really want? What if the only thing you’re really sure of is that where you are right now, definitely isn’t it? You keep searching the internet for inspiration. You look through job sites, hoping that if you just find the right profession, the heavens will open up, angels will start to sing and a big, booming game show announcer voice will tell you that you’ve finally won the jackpot. Score! Only, every job you look at sounds just as boring as the one you have.
You’ve made lists of your qualifications and interests. Nothing is gelling for you. You’ve asked your parents, mentors, co-workers and even kids for ideas. And while being Superman does sound pretty fun, you’re not really any closer to figuring out what you truly want. You just know, this ain’t it. In the post You Already Know What Your Purpose Is, I described that we all pretty much know what our purpose is, we just often dismiss it because we can’t figure out the details of how we’ll implement it or how we can make money with it. So, deep down, you know what you want. You’ve always known.
But what if that knowledge is so deep down, that you have no friggin’ clue as to how to dig it up? What if nothing seems to resonate with you? How do you figure it out? There are tons of other blog posts and books out there that will tell you to make lists, to evaluate your preferences and talents, to research different possibilities and give you all kinds of practical advice on how to get some clarity. There’s nothing wrong with that information, but you don’t need me to regurgitate it here. First of all, if that stuff had worked for you, you wouldn’t be searching anymore and second of all, I prefer to resolve issues at the energetic root. This is why you keep coming back here. That, or the funny pictures. I’ll keep using funny pictures, just in case.
Back the hell off
There’s a reason that the more you focus on a problem, the more elusive the solution seems to be. The reason is that the frequency of a problem is different from the frequency of its solution. So, as long as you’re adding to the energy of the question, you can’t receive the answer. You have to re-tune yourself to the frequency of what you want. You have to get ready to receive the clarity you’re looking for. And the only way to do that is to back off from focusing so intently on your issue. As long as you’re thinking “I don’t know what I want! What do I want? How can I figure out what I want?”, you’re not going to figure it out.
If you’re vibrating at the frequency of what you don’t want, or of not having what you want, the perfect solution could slap you right in the face and you wouldn’t recognize it. If you’re not a match to the solution, it will pass you right by. Just take a little break from obsessing over figuring this out.
Stop looking for the finish line. You can’t see it. Ever.
When searching for our life path, most of us will make the mistake of trying to figure it all out. We want to know how our lives will play out from now until we die. How will this decision affect me in twenty years? What will this mean for my kids down the line? Is there a long-term future for me on this path? How much money can I make if I do this? How exactly will I make this money? We want to see the finish line.
Except, here’s the thing that no one ever told us: we can’t see the finish line. Ever. That’s because the finish line doesn’t stay in one place. As we go through life, making decisions, adding to the energy of what we want, creating and receiving our reality, setting and achieving various goals, that finish line keeps moving. Every time we take a step towards the end goal, the finish line moves one step further away.
Let’s say that you have a crappy car, and you’ve set your sights on getting a new Honda. You’d love a car where everything works, where the windows and doors are automatic, where the upholstery is new, and where the whole car has that new car smell. When you finally get the Honda, you’re ecstatic. For a while. But then you notice that the car isn’t all that powerful when you go up hills, and you realize that you’d really like a 4 wheel drive. You notice that the beautiful shiny black color you chose shows off the tiniest bit of dirt, and you end up washing the damn car every three days. Even though the air conditioning is great, you’d really love it if you could open the roof on nice Summer days. You realize that what you REALLY want is a Jeep. When you get the Jeep, you’re ecstatic. For a while. Then, you notice… Do you see where I’m going with this? Our desires keep on expanding. The finish line keeps moving.
Right now, all you can see and focus on is that Honda. You have no way of knowing what desires owning and driving that car will lead to, or what the next car will cause you to want, and so on. Will you ultimately end up with a Ferrari or an electric car? Perhaps you’ll end up on an island and travel everywhere by bicycle. How could you possibly know? You can’t. That’s the point. So stop trying to figure out your entire life right now.
You can’t ever see the finish line. But you can see and focus on the next milestone. That would be the Honda, in this analogy, in case you missed it. In terms of a life path, the next milestone is that idea you had or that thing your intuition told you to do. Stop worrying about where it will lead. Stop looking for your next activity to be the one that answers all of your questions. The next activity is the one that will lead to the next activity, which will lead to the next activity, which will lead you to the thing that rings all of your bells.
Raise your vibration to get clarity
Each vibrational frequency comes with a certain level of clarity. The higher the frequency, the more clarity you have access to. So, if you want to gain a greater perspective and receive more answers, you’ll need to raise your vibration.
In this case, the best way to do that is to get off the damn subject of finding your life path (back off) and go focus on something else that already makes you feel good for a little while. It doesn’t matter what that subject is. The idea is simply to feel better. That better feeling is your indicator that you’ve raised your vibration. So, when you feel stable in that new higher vibration, when you feel well and truly better, you can go back to the whole life path question and take a new look at it. You’ll now have a new perspective – you’ll have access to answers you couldn’t see before.
Focus on the essence of what you want
At this point, you’re still not ready to get into details. If you focus too specifically on the issue, you’ll end up right where you started. So, put down the laser pointer and the spread sheets, already. You’ve probably heard that if you look at what you don’t want, this can help you figure out what you do want – generally its opposite. This is true. Only, you don’t want to focus on specifics, but rather on the essence of what you don’t and do want.
Let’s look at an example: You’re in an office job. You hate your butthole boss, your co-workers are lazy and boring and the work is uninspiring. Now, you could say that you hate your boss and you wish you had a nicer boss. You hate your coworkers and you wish you had exciting, fun, inspiring coworkers. You hate your job and you wish you had a more rewarding job. Only, I’ll bet that you’ve done that exercise already and got stuck on the part where you now come up with what that more rewarding job could be. That’s because you were doing it wrong.
Instead of focusing on the details of your current job and using them to try and figure out the details of your next one, focus on the feelings. What does your current job feel like – emotionally? Are you bored? Are you uninspired? Do you get angry? Do you feel powerless? It doesn’t matter why you feel that way, just identify those negative feelings.
Now, you can use that list to figure out what you’d like to feel like. Inspired, excited, like you’re making a contribution, like you have a say in the decisions, etc. Perhaps what you want is a job that allows you the freedom to be with your family more. You want a job that makes you feel free, instead of locked in. If your current job doesn’t allow you to make many decisions (perhaps you’re in middle management), then you could be looking for the feeling of empowerment and validation. Do you feel insecure in your current job? Then you’re most likely looking for the feeling of security.
Remember that you do not have to try and figure out HOW you will get all of those things. Most people, when asked to do this exercise, will immediately censor all of their answers. “I want freedom. Oh, but how the hell can I feel freedom when I’m working for someone else? My boss would never allow me to work from home…” Stop that! Just allow yourself to focus on the feelings of what you want and actually experience them for a while. What would it feel like to have a job that allows me to work whatever hours are convenient for me? What would it feel like to not be afraid of getting laid off anymore? What would it feel like to love my work and be passionate about it? Don’t censor, just experience it. Give yourself full, unbridled permission to daydream and do this on a regular basis.
By following this exercise, you are actually tuning yourself to the frequency of what you want – the vibration of freedom, security, passion, etc. Do this consistently, and the Law of Attraction will begin to bring you circumstances and events that match those feelings and will lead you further down the path. That next milestone will be revealed.
Have the balls to go for the next milestone
Having raised your vibration and having tuned yourself consistently to the frequency of what you want, you’ll begin to get some impulses or insights. These are those milestones we talked about. It’s at this point that a lot of people make a huge mistake – they begin to get scared. They go back to wanting to see the entire path laid out before them, instead of just running toward the next milestone. They judge the milestone against the criteria of what they want that finish line to be and find that it comes up short. And then they give up and stay exactly where they are.
Using the office job example from above, let’s say you’ve raised your vibration, and then started to focus regularly and consistently on the feeling of what you want, without getting into any details. And then you get the impulse to go for a job in a different department. The job pays pretty much the same and you don’t really have all the skills you need. But you have this strong feeling that you should apply. You begin to think that maybe you’re not really qualified, that you might make a fool of yourself, that the similar pay isn’t really worth the hassle, that changing departments might send a message of disloyalty and leave you more vulnerable to lay-offs, etc. Also, you keep thinking of all those great feelings you want, and well, this new job just doesn’t fit the criteria. It’s not a work at home job. It doesn’t pay any better. And you can’t see how it would be more secure. It doesn’t match the finish line. So, you stay where you are.
What you didn’t know is that this job was a stepping stone that would’ve allowed you to be promoted into a much better paying position and allowed you to work at home within six months. Even though the pay was the same, the boss was much nicer, the work was more inspiring and the coworkers were way cooler. Not only that, but this new job was just a stepping stone to running your own division, a job that came with stock options, which turned into major moolah once the company went public, something you didn’t even know was a possibility. So instead of lying on a beach somewhere two years from now and slurping drinks out of a coconut while your kids learn to surf, you’re still stuck in your cubicle, wondering if a noose made of paperclips could bear the load of your weight and looking for the damn finish line.
You’ve got to have the balls to follow through on your intuitive impulses. If something feels good, if it feels right, stop analyzing it to death. Stop judging it. Just do it. Go for it. It’s the next step, the next milestone on your way to that finish line you can’t see (so stop looking already. I know you’re still doing it.) The first time you follow your gut, it’ll be scary as hell. Trust me, I know that. But every time you take a step in the right direction and notice how things get just a little bit better, how you’re lining up more and more with what you want, little by little, you’ll begin to trust your intuition. Each subsequent step will become easier until you can’t imagine NOT following your inner voice. You’ll get to the point where if something feels right, you do it, no matter how scary it is. Because after you’ve successfully passed a few milestones, you’ll KNOW that you’re on the right path, even if you can’t see the finish line.
Now it’s your turn: Have you followed your intuition and reached for some milestones? Looking back, can you see how some of your scariest decisions ended up being the best ones? Can you see how the steps you’ve taken lead to you where you are today, a place you could never have envisioned before getting here? Share your experiences in the comments!
Oh, and don’t forget to help a blogger out by sharing this post on FaceTwitStumbleBook or whatever. 🙂

VOL. 10 | NO. 53 | Saturday, December 30, 2017
Editorial: Though Statues are Down, Work is Just Beginning
They may be the most famous pedestals in Memphis – the ones where the horseback image of Nathan Bedford Forrest stood for 113 years and the relatively slender pinnacle where Jefferson Davis stood for a mere 53 years.
Since the removal of the city’s two most iconic monuments to the Confederacy five days before Christmas within two hours of each other, Memphians and tourists alike have stopped by to see what their absence looks like.
Some have even taken selfies with the pedestals in the background.
This has been a long time coming. And that is part of what some of us see where the monuments used to be – the passage of time and tumult and racist fairy tales defended long past their worth.
Soon, state lawmakers will take a closer look at the city’s actions to determine if they were legal.
But the monuments to the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and the only president of the Confederate States of America – two institutions more directly committed to oppression through slavery than any others in American history – are down. And putting them back will be much more difficult than it was to keep them up with a byzantine set of rules, regulations and procedures that attorney Allan Wade, legal counsel for the city, termed a “Confederate hell.”
The next step should be putting the parks’ past further behind us by developing and implementing plans for the future.
As quickly as possible, Memphis Greenspace, the nonprofit that bought the two parks from the city for $1,000 each, should begin the true “liberation” of these spaces through new uses and purposes that speak to our lives together in Memphis.
Make no mistake: Working quickly doesn’t mean working haphazardly. Take the time necessary to come up with a comprehensive plan to activate both parks. But avoid getting mired in so much talking and planning that action is delayed indefinitely.
We cannot allow that to happen to parks that have so much life and potential around them.
Memphis Park, where Davis’ statue stood, already plays a central role in the Fourth Bluff effort, which stretches south to the Cossitt Library and west to the parkland below on the other side of Riverside Drive.
And Health Sciences Park, where the Forrest statue stood, is the epicenter of an ongoing effort to link up the different parts of the Memphis Medical District.
“Liberation” is the term county commission Van Turner, the head of the nonprofit, used the morning after the statues came down to describe what has happened to the two parks.
There should be room in that liberation to bring together those who fought for the same general goal of removing the statues, but who had vastly different ideas about the timing and process, in hopes of finding some kind of common ground going forward.
Let it come with ideas and plans that point toward the coming spring and a new start for these places that once divided us.

DNS Server Types
DNS (Domain Name System) is a hierarchical system in which there are different types of DNS servers at each level. These types are Root DNS servers, Top-Level Domain Servers, Authoritative servers and DNS Resolvers.
What are the different types of DNS servers
The domain name system (DNS) is based on hierarchical servers literally enabling people to browse the internet using human-readable names. DNS is what allows a person to type a website into their browser, like menandmice.com, and go to that destination.
Behind the scenes, the client makes aDNSquery to the resolver server configured in it’s settings. The resolver does a recursive search for that website, or more accurately thedomainname, by checking with multiple servers in the hierarchy. Once the information is found, an IP address is passed back to the client which tells the client where to find their destination.
1. Recursive resolver
The recursive resolver server, sometimes referred to as a caching server, is the first stop for your client when a dns query is made. A common way this occurs is when someone opens a browser and types in a URL containing a domain name. That client device will have DNS settings configured so it knows where to go first to find the domain name as shown below.
The DNS settings may be explicitly defined as shown in the picture above, or they may be automatically configured using DNS management software on your network.
If the recursive resolver server has found this domain name in the recent past, it’s possible it will already have this information cached and will then be able to immediately inform the client of the correct IP address of request. If not, though, it must perform a recursive query to find this information. It will begin with the Root server.
2. DNS root name server
The recursive resolver first checks with the root server. An organization named IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) which is a part of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) maintains these root servers.
As mentioned, DNS is hierarchical, so in order to find out the domain name, starting with the root server is the only way to ensure you’re starting with the correct tree. Meaning, menandmice.com and menandmice.net are completely different domain names and therefore completely different destinations. If you type in menandmice.com the root server will be able to tell the recursive server to check with the correct top-level domain server which in this case would be .com.
It’s also possible that the root server may have this information cached and may give the answer directly to the recursive resolver. If not, though, it will be directed to the Top-Level Domain server.
3. TLD name server
Now that the recursive server has the correct Top-Level Domain, or TLD server, it can go ask that server for the correct information. TLD servers come in many categories:
- generic TLDs (gTLDs) - LIke the commonly found .com or .net, but also like new TLDs such as .club or .shop
- Sponsored TLDs - maintained by a group generally used for specific communities such as ethnicity, geography, and career
- Non-sponsored TLDs - gTLDs maintained by IANA which are not sponsored
- Country Code TLDs (ccTLDs) - TLDs specific to a country
- Internationalized TLDs - TLDs which use native language characters
The TLD servers will either have the information cached or send the recursive server to the correct authoritative server to find the IP information for the destination.
4. Authoritative name server
The authoritative name server will have the IP information the client was looking for. When companies, groups, or individuals lease the right to use domain names they must register this name with an authoritative server. This registration makes the domain name officially published on the network, whether the public network or internet, or the private network.
Now the recursive server may cache the information for later use and also pass the destination information on to the client server. When information is cached it will load more quickly on the client device.

Menkes Honoured with Four BOMA Toronto Awards
May 23, 2019
The Company was presented with Earth, TOBY, and Pinnacle Awards at this year’s gala in Toronto, further confirmation of its commitment to excellence in commercial real estate.
TORONTO, ON (May 23, 2019) - Menkes Developments Ltd (Menkes) is pleased to share that it was recognized with four awards in three separate categories at this year’s Building Owners and Managers (BOMA) Toronto Awards Gala.
Menkes’ Class AAA office tower 25 York Street was honoured with The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Award. The prestigious award recognizes commercial real estate companies that demonstrate the highest quality in building standards, community impact, tenant relations, energy conservation, environmental, regulatory and sustainability standards, and for the training of building personnel. As an award-winning 786,000 square-foot building, 25 York Street also earned the highest BOMA BEST certification score and was awarded the Earth Award. The building has also achieved Canada’s first-ever Fitwel certification for an office building. This accolade signifies the building’s status in downtown Toronto’s and further positions it as a leader in sustainable best practices.
“Menkes has set the bar extremely high when it comes to operational standards,” says Gregory Brent, Senior Director, Property Management, adding, “We always aim to exceed these standards as well as industry benchmarks and the expectations of our tenants. The TOBY and Earth Award are further confirmation that we are on the right track.”
BOMA Toronto recognized Menkes with a Pinnacle Award under innovation for its Healthy Spaces Program. The award celebrates innovation, teamwork, outstanding customer service, and commitment to clients. Menkes recognizes that the workplace plays an important role in encouraging healthy habits. As an industry leader, Menkes adopts a holistic approach to sustainability that aims to reduce the environmental impact of its portfolio, while enhancing the health and wellbeing of its occupants. Its innovative Healthy Spaces Program offers occupants increased opportunities to participate in unique engagement initiatives and lead healthy lifestyles.
“Menkes’ commitment to sustainability is exemplary, especially with respect to its BOMA BEST and Fitwel achievements at 25 York Street” said Benjamin Shinewald, President and CEO of BOMA Canada, and a program partner with Fitwel. “Menkes really is a leader in both sustainable and healthy buildings."
In line with Menkes’ commitment to sustainability, the Company is proud to share that 570 Matheson, an industrial property located in Mississauga, was recognized with BOMA’s Earth Award. This award recognizes buildings that demonstrate a commitment to reducing their environmental impact and make significant efforts to conserve energy, a major feat for an industrial building.
“We are proud to be recognized by BOMA Toronto with an Earth Award”, said Elena Muto, General Manager of Kennedy-Matheson Industrial Complex. “We have worked hard to set a new standard amongst industrial buildings by implementing practices that go above and beyond, such as annual plumbing and water audits, annual air quality testing, tenant satisfaction surveys, ENERGY STAR benchmarking, extensive LED lighting retrofits, and extremely water-efficient irrigation systems. We are pleased to see our hard work pay off and to be recognized as a leader in the industry.”

Did you know that your insurance rates may drop once you have additional protection in place. This reduces your risk of incidents involving criminal activity, and some savvy insurance carriers reward policy holders for getting proactive about preventative methods.
You can use this gate integration as a system for tracking the comings and goings of your staff. This helps keep your employees honest, but also ensures their safety.

Lil Wayne Just Released What He Calls “Best Work Yet” Through Tidal
On our country's Independence Day, Lil Wayne made his own declaration. The formerly incarcerated rapper released his long-awaited Free Weezy Album, dubbed FWA, via Tidal. Peppered with shots at his label, Cash Money Records, and its boss, Birdman, the album narrates the battle Wayne has been fighting since December to liberate himself from what he's called exploitative contracts. He's still not free from that label yet, but with FWA he makes a compelling argument for independence.
Weezy's raps sound hungrier, more experimental and determined than they have in years.
Weezy warned us. He said he would be getting weird with FWA back in February. "I guarantee it's going to be something dope," he told Rolling Stone. "If you don't want a musician being creative, don't get the Free Weezy Album." In April, he tweeted that FWA was shaping up to be his "best work yet." That's a bold statement, considering the number of classics the New Orleans rapper has to his name — and the deteriorating quality of his recent work. FWA is no Dedication or Carter III, but it's a step towards something new and compelling.
Wayne experiments with some disorienting new flows over a racing EDM beat on "I'm That Nigga" and raps over some London trap reminiscent of Hudson Mohawke and Jamie xx on "London Roads." He gets introspective on "My Heart Races On," meditating on death, his struggle to shore up his legacy against the ravages of time and the constant danger of being a black man in America. "Oh Lord, what are we running from?" Weezy croons. "The police 'cause they already killed enough of us / Stay out them streets cause they don't fuck with us, they hunting us."
As RapGenius notes, this introspective flow is something Wayne struggled to do on his last album, I Am Not a Human Being II, released in March 2013. The majority of that album had Weezy reaching (and failing) to find new and interesting ways to talk about cunnilingus and drug experimentation. Wayne is searching for something deeper on FWA, and for the most part succeeds in capturing it.
Glory: The song "Glory," released as a single in June, appears on the album as well. Lil Wayne offered the track up shortly after announcing he would be becoming a co-owner of the Tidal streaming service alongside Jay Z. Rolling Stone notes that, while the single's artwork featured the logo of Young Money — Wayne's imprint label at Cash Money — FWA has none.
The struggle between Wayne and his label came last December when he claimed in a series of tweets: "I want off this label and nothing to do with these people but unfortunately it ain't that easy."
In January, Wayne sued Cash Money for $51 million, claiming it had withheld money from him. Wayne refiled in April, according to the Guardian, and currently Wayne and Cash Money's label boss are not on speaking terms. His last album, Tha Carter V, has been delayed repeatedly since Wayne first hinted at a 2013 release date. It still has no scheduled release date.
The Free Weezy Album paints a compelling portrait of the artist Lil Wayne could become if he managed to leave Cash Money. Freed from any obligations to trot out the same lean pussy puns, he may really find stories that can push his legacy to new heights.
"My job is just to stay vital," Lil Wayne told Rolling Stone back in February. FWA offers the most compelling proof he can that we've seen in years. Stream the album in full on Direct Lyrics or peep it through Tidal here.

Trusted Online Math Tutor
Stop Crying over Math.
Let's have some fun!
Contact me for a free assessment
I grew up in a family that prioritized education, and truly believe that: (1) Establishing a strong and confident foundation is the key to future success in learning. (2) Every student is unique, and (3) Learning can and should be FUN…yes, even Math!
After earning a degree in accounting from Arizona State University I worked for several years at a top worldwide accounting firm. Yet, I always felt my passion was with children and their education.
Finally, I decided to make my dream a reality, went back to school to earn my credential and master’s at Azusa Pacific University. My favorite assignments involved working with struggling students, as I had struggled a bit myself as a youngster and understand the pain and desperation of feeling behind.
Now, in my 15th year of teaching/tutoring, I’ve found one-on-one instruction to be my calling. I love learning about and helping, children find and appreciate their strongest selves. When a child can release their anxiety about math, and yes even have some fun, learning becomes so much easier. There is nothing better than getting a child to laugh and let down their guard before tackling a particularly tough area of math.
I specialize in online tutoring of math, prealgebra, algebra, geometry, and precalculus. There are so many innovative techniques we can use to help your child release their math fears, and their newfound confidence will extend to other areas of life. And if I can help them drop their guard and vanquish their fears and concerns, we’re on our way towards success!
Are you ready to have some fun?
I look forward to working with you and your child. Contact me today and let’s get started!!
Algebra 1 & 2
I help students build confidence in math and improve their ability to tackle complex math problems. My students feel safe to try, make mistakes, and truly learn. As a result, they get the opportunity to win at math, today and into the future
We will work together using an online whiteboard and zoom, allowing you to ask questions and get guidance in real-time.
My students go from Cs and Ds to As and Bs - and have fun along the way!
Don't let your math homework sink your confidence.
Don't feel threatened by new math concepts.
With Michele Dooley Tutoring, you'll have the knowledge and know-how to complete your math problems successfully.
Levels of Teaching
My 8th grade daughter was struggling with math this past fall. I found Michele through an onling group (Arcadia Google group.) I saw several emails recommending her so I decided to contact her. She did a full assessment and immediately began helping my daughter with her weaknesses. My daughter absolutely loves working with her and now has her confidence back in math!! We can't recommend or thank Michele enough!

In the first trimester, no really even knows what’s going on unless you tell them. Your husband finds out you’re not as interested in him and you’re up at all hours possibly throwing up. This goes for both sides of the metaphor.
As your stomach grows people take notice. They may want to feel your belly (read what you’ve written). You share ultrasound pictures which ninety percent of the public can’t even tell what it is, but they all say it’s adorable. In other words your family and friends read your book.
Now comes the uncomfortable third trimester when you waddle and have to pee every five minutes. Otherwise known in the writing world as submitting to publishers/agents. Now for some this lasts forever, others get picked up right away. Whichever it was for you, we all had the pain that comes along with that. False labor, returned, but rejected submissions. Back pain, from secretly cyber stalking the people you submitted to. And the worst of all, those people that ask if you’re having twins because you’re sooooooo huge. Otherwise know as the people saying “you’re not published yet?” Right because it’s that easy and people do it in a few months.
Finally you go into labor, aka get a contract. Suddenly you’re sent into a spin as you fill out forms for a cover you may or may not actually have a say in. Some publishers give you drugs so you don’t have to feel the pain of labor or editing. Let me warn you now, run from those publishers. Sure it feels good to only have surface pain, but you need that pain so you appreciate all your work.
We’ve now entered the hard labor part of your book coming out. This part seems to go fast at moments and drag at others. You’re head may be a little bit fuzzy and although there may be documented proof this all occurred you will forget ninty percent of it. There’s a reason for this, it’s so you’ll have more kids.
You’ll have to push, you may bite at your editor because it’s all his/her fault that you’re going through this. When you’re almost done you’re ready to give up, you’re so damn tired of seeing the same lines over and over. You can’t stand the story you loved for months. You don’t care and you just want to go to sleep and pretend it never happened. Then your editor does what they always do… snap at you to put your big girl panties on and finish this because your deadline is also theirs. So you push through, all night long crunching on ice chips (or a pan of brownies… no judgment) to get it out by the last possible moment.
With a scream a goo covered baby is delivered. Sure a copy editor takes your baby to a bath and now it smells wonderful and before you know it’s on display on social media like Simba being held up before all the animals.
You’re fearful. You’re not sure if they will accept your book as a good thing or not. Sure you have Scar grumbling because he’s not as loved in the background, but whether your book some day leads the pride and becomes a best seller. Or if it sits with virtual dust covered on an ebook shelf you’re proud of it. It’s your baby and even though it was surreal at moments once you cradle it in your arms, you’ll realize you love it more than you ever thought you could. A few words that resemble you will take off on their own and before you know it you’ll be wanting another one. Small and needing you to feed it so it grows big and strong.
On a side note, my son turns 14 next week, so in honor of one of my babies that I’m so proud of, even when I get a one star review, I’d like to dedicate this blog to him. Happy Birthday Jacob, even when you go off on your own I’m glad you’ll still have that little bit that resembles me so you’ll always know where you came from.
