at the glory days of Lumia Phones, everyone can remember the pureview camera technology, and one of the big factors, that i used to have many Lumia Phones Lumia 900 920 930 and the very last 950, so the reason i post to this forum is, any chance to see the pureview technology on the coming andromeda? any source?.
Bump. I'd like to know any information out there on this as well.
I think most of the Nokia camera engineers that worked on Pureview got swiped by Apple. Makes sense when you look at the newer camera features on iPhones.
Here's some. HMD Global now owns the trademark.
Proves MS is not interested in coming back to mobile market, Can it be the final blow to hopes of ppl still expecting to pocket a surface "phone" ?
For now its only a name. Until Nokia proves its worth I have not seen anything spectacular from them in the camera department yet. None the less the name will still sell even if the technology is not the same or even better than before.
That's what I got out of this news too.
I never expected Microsoft to even continue carrying the mantle of the PureView name which I assume goes along with its technology.
Now at least we know where it has ended up.
Yeah, I guess it's expected, but if they release a new mobile device or phone and the cameras aren't at least as good as the flagships around at the time, people are going to pounce all over this decision.

Of Course BPA Can Be Found Inside You!
It doesn’t take a rocket-scientist to understand how toxins from plastics can be found in the umbilical cord of our newborn babies, in our blood and in our tissues. Generations of exposure to those toxins that can be found in EVERY plastic bottle is always leached into your water, and it always finds it’s way into the body. When N.I.H (National Institute of Health, the primary agency of the United States government responsible for biomedical and public health research) labels our children as being “PRE-POLLUTED” then you KNOW we have bigger problems than most people want to acknowledge at all.
The average temperature of water that is processed through reverse osmosis is 190°. This means that the source water has already reached temperatures that cause the chemicals to leach out from the plastic BEFORE you buy and refrigerate it! In other words, the dangers of consuming fluids from a plastic bottle begin at the bottling plant and there’s nothing you can do to prevent exposure to these chemicals whatsoever.
It takes approximately 5 liters of water to produce (and fill) a 1 liter bottle of water using the reverse osmosis process. If you understand the volatility of our natural resources, this should be of great concern to you!
The reverse osmosis process doesn’t discriminate – is very good at removing the bad things (at least before it hits the bottle, that is) but it removes all of the natural minerals right along with the bad things. Water without minerals has absolutely NO BENEFIT to the human body whatsoever. This is true for distilled water too!
It doesn’t matter if the plastic is made with BPA or if it’s BPA-free.
There is NO such thing as safe plastic…not for you and your family, and not for the environment. Just say “NO” to all plastics…especially those used for your water consumption!
If you decide to take a positive step in the right direction by making the decision to do away with all those harmful plastics impacting YOUR health (and the health of the future generations) reach out to me. There is a better, healthier way and it doesn’t involve a toxic water bottle filled with clear fluids. Your body will thank you for it, the future generations will thank you for it AND the environmental will thank you for it too.

With bottled water out-selling carbonated drinks for the first time, there is no limit to the options being made available to consumers by money-hungry providers and most of it is NOT what it claims to be! Bottled water dominates more square footage in the grocery story than any other product! More and more “alkaline” waters and more and more”hydrogen infused” options are hitting the shelves and the $30.00 per gallon price tag doesn’t seem to be slowing anybody down! Wise consumers are looking at affordable, long-term options so that they can have an endless supply of alkalized water in their own home and these wise consumers are looking to consumer ionization appliances as a result. These wise consumers also understand that by purchasing a long-term solution; they save thousands and thousands of dollars over the long run.
Longevity. Because consumers are rapidly catching on to the benefits of drinking cleaner, healthier water and more alkaline water and the ionizer industry is beginning to boom as a result. Unfortunately, there are many start-up and 3rd party ionizer companies chasing the market, promising the moon and selling the truth short online. Look for a company that has been in the market long enough to be established AND long enough to have proven to stand behind their product and their warranties, one that offers reliable and reasonable service inside of the U.S. and one that can speak with experience about the life-cycle expectations of your unit. a quality ionizer SHOULD last for 20+ years with simple, routine maintenance. Look for a company that has the stay-power to be there for you long after your investment and one that already has a track record to “prove” how long your investment should last!
Reputable. There are good things and not-so-good things about the Internet. One of the not-so-good things is that it’s easy to “look good on paper”. Dealing with strangers on the Internet over ANY investment but particularly a sizable investment is never a good idea. Many of the 3rd party ionizer companies that you see online have already undergone name changes a few times and some have the worst Better Business Bureau ratings possible; that’s saying a whole lot when so many of them have been in business for just a few years. It’s not a good sign OR a good investment to put your money with a company that has already proven to be a problem for other consumers. Look for a company that has been around the block a few times and one that you can go directly to for any concerns or problems that you have.
USA Focused. Most (if not all) ionizers are manufactured outside of the US. The majority of the units that you see on the market today are manufactured by the same Korean manufacturer under different labels. The company that you may buy from is likely a 3rd party representative and not the manufacturer at all and in that case, they don’t manufacture, service or warranty the units at a;;. When services is needed, your unit must be shipped back to the original manufacturer in Korea, and at your expense. Look for a USA focused ionizer company that will actually stand behind and service your investment here in the United States. In other words, look for a direct manufacturer and NOT a 3rd party sales entity.
Sight Unseen. If you’re going to make the investment in ionization technology for you and your family, it’s not a good idea purchase sight unseen. You should have the chance to see it (and try it) for yourself before you buy. Although one company may give you the opportunity to see and try for yourself most of them don’t. Each ionizer on the market is vastly different from another and it’s not reasonable for you to expect that what you find online is like what you’ve already seen and tried for yourself! Consumers don’t buy vehicles that way…”test driving” one brand and then buying a completely different vehicle without ever seeing or driving it first. That is a risky approach no matter how large or how small the price tag is and it makes no financial sense whatsoever. Look for a company that will allow you to see (and try) the product for yourself before you buy!
Warranty: There are warranties and then there are warranties, and it’s important to select a company that will not only stand behind the warranty, but also one that will be able to honor it within the U.S. Wise consumers recognize that there is no such thing as a lifetime, unlimited warranty without a “catch” of some kind. Late-night infomercials often use this strategy to entice sales, but they generally have low-cost items and studies have proven that 98.9% of consumers will not bother to ship back a low-ticket item even with that “money back guarantee”. If necessary, ask to see the full warranty before you purchase (versus a warranty certificate) and don’t just “buy in” to a company that says they’ll stand behind the product “forever”and ever no matter what. Every “lifetime” warranty on the planet has exclusions of some sort and “lifetime” warranty ionizer companies are no different. If they go out of business; you have no warranty and if you’re required to ship your product back to Korea to the manufacturer (avg shipping $600 each way), it makes no financial sense whatsoever. Look for a company that has a solid (and realistic) warranty along with U.S. service centers prepared to offer timely and efficient serving whenever it’s needed.
Investing in ionization water technology is (by far) the single most significant investment that you can make for your health and well-being and it makes perfect financial sense for the long run…if you buy the right one, that is! When it comes to anything consumable, it pays to do your homework AND it never pays to skimp.

Experts Blame Dehydration for Stroke Damage? It’s About Time!
Headlines in a an article published by Everyday Health reads – “Dehydration Leads to Greater Stroke Damage”. More accurately it should read “Dehydration Leads to Greater Stroke Risk“. Dehydration is your enemy and it’s time to give it the blame that it deserves. The human brain is 85% water and the blood is 90% water. When the body is deprived of water, the consequences go well beyond what most people understand. We’ve replaced the body’s NEED for water with a beverage-of-choice and we no longer recognize the signs of dehydration.
Dr. Paul Bendheim, a clinical professor of neurology from the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson, says “there are no hard-and-fast rules for staying well-hydrated, despite recommendations to drink eight glasses of water each day“. That’s a no-brainer! Obviously the amount of water each individual needs depends on a number of factors; activity, weight and status of health just to name a few. Dr. Bendheim goes on to say, “prior research found that the majority of people are dehydrated when they have a stroke, but it’s not clear why”. How in the world can it not be clear why people are dehydrated? It’s interesting to note that most heart attacks and strokes happen in the middle of the night when the body is the most dehydrated. It’s a very good thing to drink water before you retire for the night!
The 8 Glasses of Water a Day Rule is just THE MINIMUM needed to keep your organs functioning…but it sure isn’t enough to keep your blood hydrated and your veins free and clear!
If you’re active, if you’re sick or if you’re overweight, you need a whole lot more than just eight, 8-ounce glasses of water a day to equip the body to battle things like stroke or high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, and a multitude of other conditions! Water is positively key to your prevention and recovery…you were wired that way!
Seniors are generally more dehydrated than younger people primarily because we lose our sense of thirst as we age. We may need to be reminded to drink instead of waiting for the brain to trigger thirst. Lots of people set alarms to be reminded to take medications, perhaps it’s time to set up a reliable reminder to prompt you to drink water too. Relying on your sense of thirst won’t do the trick. By the time the average person “feels” thirsty, they are already chronically dehydrated and ready for disaster.
Now that you know that stroke (among LOTS OF OTHER THINGS) can be triggered or worsened by dehydration, don’t you think it’s time to do something about it?
How much research do you need to read before you take action to properly hydrate your body with W A T E R? It all comes down to basic biology. No amount of consuming any other fluids can replace the body’s need for water. In fact, most choice beverages actually cause the body to work harder just to rid itself of toxins introduced by replacing water with another beverage.
If water is so important, don’t you think the kind of water you drink might be important too? Of course it is! It doesn’t make much sense to consume water that has no minerals whatsoever (causes the body to deplete itself of minerals from within which leads to degeneration) and it doesn’t make much sense to drink water that is laced with the chemicals necessary to make human waste potable. After you make the decision to consume the amount of water your body needs; you’ll need to decide what kind of SAFE and HEALTHY water you’ll be introducing to your body. There aren’t a whole lot of options when you look at it that way! Electrolyzed Reduced Water (ERW) is the ONLY way to go for me and my family. After doing our own research; the choice was easy for us. How much research (and testimonials) do you need to see before you embrace Electrolyzed Reduced Water as being the most beneficial water for the human body?
I know that my days are numbered but I don’t buy in to the idea that I’m supposed to rot prior to my death, so I’m giving my body what it needs to avoid things like stroke, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, etc., instead of looking for a pill to fix my problem later. After all, there is no cure for any disease whatsoever. With that in mind, it’s time to FIGHT FOR HEALTH!
Do yourself, your brain (and the rest of your body) and your family a favor. HYDRATE NOW!
Your Bones Are ALIVE And They Need Your Attention!
Most of us take our bones for granted unless we’re faced with a crisis like a broken bone or a fractured hip. Our bones are very much alive and they need our attention if we want them to “stand up” to the job that we ask them to do day-after-day and year-after-year.
More than 250,000 people over the age of 65 break a hip each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s interesting to note that most of the time people don’t fall a break a hip…they break a hip and fall. How’s that for brittle bones? Demographic reports suggest that 10,000 people a day are turning 65 and that this will continue for the next 17 years! It looks like we have a lot of bone problems on the horizon if we don’t take action to protect them!
Contrary to popular belief, men are at risk too. About 1 in 5 men will break a bone due to osteoporosis. In fact, men claim 1 out of every 3 broken hips worldwide. Sadly, both health and quality of life can plummet after a hip fracture. It’s alarming to note that 37% of men die within a year after they break a hip — twice as many as women, found a 2014 study published by the International Osteoporosis Foundation. This speaks volumes to the poor condition of the overall health of those battling brittle bones. It’s time to give your bones (and all of the rest of you) the attention they deserve!
Are You “Bad to the Bone”?
Our bones consist of 25% water. If you aren’t efficiently hydrating your body, your bones (and the rest of you) will pay the ultimate price. This is just one of the reasons that the elderly often have hip and knee problems. We lose our sense of thirst as we age and if we don’t make a conscious effort to drink lots of healthy water (naturally laced with minerals), we will be living in a state of chronic dehydration and the bones will begin to break down…and that’s just the beginning!
Red blood cells don’t last long in the bloodstream so they need to be replaced continuously by new cells, which originate in your bone marrow. This area in the center of the bone is a spongy tissue that churns out billions of new, mature blood cells each day (wow!) just to keep us supplied with the oxygen and energy we need. If we refuse to give the body the amount of (and the quality of) water it needs, this entire system begins to fail. Drinking plenty of healthy water is a very small price to pay to sustain health.
How Are You Neglecting Your Bones?
1. You overlook calcium. Adults need about 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day to keep the bones in good shape. A huge source of calcium is healthy, mineral-laced water. Unfortunately most people are replacing healthy water with useless bottled water (all minerals have been removed). So in addition to not consuming enough healthy water to stay hydrated, you’re robbing minerals from your bones to make up for the minerals that are not in your drinking water. Does that make sense to you? I sure hope not! Change you water…change your life!
Calcium is just part of the equation though. In addition to calcium, daily magnesium, protein, and vitamin D are essential. Vitamin D increases calcium absorption by as much as 50 percent Since we avoid the sun like the plague these days, it’s important for many of us to supplement with a daily dose of Vitamin D.
2. Digestive conditions increase your risk of having weak bones. These include inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, and anorexia nervosa (according to the National Institute of Health Osteoporosis Resource Center ). It is important to note that the leading colon specialist in the world, Dr. Hiromi Shinya, recommends proper hydration with Kangen Water® for colon health. He has examined the colon of thousands of patients before and after a Kangen Water® protocol and the results are astounding. If you suffer with digestive issues, you need to write your own prescription for Kangen Water®.
How Are You Damaging Your Bones?
1. Treating your GERD/acid reflux with meds. Bone loss can result from the use of antacids that contain aluminum, which can deplete your calcium supply; this includes products like Alamag, Maalox, or Mylanta. Even the commonly used drugs that treat heartburn — Prilosec, Nexim, and Prevacid — may lead to bone loss, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Alkalize the body and say “good bye” to these digestive issues instead of opting for meds that may be destroying your bones!
2. Taking steroid medications like Cortisone, Prednisone, or Desxamethasone can cause debilitating bone loss over time, notes the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF). You may have taken steroid meds — also called glucocorticoids or corticosteroids — to treat rheumatoid arthritis, asthma or allergies, lupus, Crohn’s disease or cancer. The root cause of these conditions is inflammation and chronic dehydration. Drink ionized, alkalized, electrically charged water and you’ll likely be able to nix the steroids as your body begins to mend itself. EXPERIENCE IT 100% RISK FREE FOR 30 DAYS AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
3. Phenobarbital is often used to treat seizures as well as anxiety and insomnia. How many people do you know that “need a little something” to help them sleep or to manage stress? The drug is sometimes habit-forming and often misused. Dilantin, another anti-seizure medication, is also linked to bone loss.
4. Moderating your alcohol intake is important for bone health. Too much alcohol keeps you from getting the nutrients strong bones need. Abusing alcohol leads to bone weakness and a greater risk of breaking bones. If you consume alcohol remember; less is always best.
So you see, your bones are very much ALIVE and badly in need of your attention.
Are you going to give them the attention they deserve or will you hold out for surgery and pain killers? Just askin’.
If you decide that it’s time to take control of your own health, reach out to me! I’ve got a solution that may even outlive you and it’s a game-changer when it comes to your health!
WANT TO SEE WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT WATER?
I Believe from Kangen Pro Tools on Vimeo.
I Lied About Alkaline Water!
It is said that “the truth will set you free” so here goes…I lied about alkaline water. I have been busy preaching the benefits of alkaline water without understanding that long-term use of alkaline water can be detrimental to your health! It is vitally important to good health that we keep the body in an alkaline state, however the method that we use to accomplish this can “make or break” us. An alkaline diet is a great start but it’s just not enough to maintain the balance needed. Water is a crucial component.
There is a HUGE difference between alkaline water and alkalized water. How can you tell the difference? That’s easy! Alkaline water is enhanced with minerals and it can be tested with a standard pool-type pH strip because pH strips react to a chemical change. Alkalized water will not change the color of a pH strip because there are NO added minerals or chemicals used in the process. Alkalized is produced by the introduction of electricity and therefore it must be tested using pH drops.
Alkalized water is water that has been modified with the use of very high voltage electricity. If the electrical influence is strong enough. it will create was is referred to as “dissociation of water”.
Dr. Michael Donaldson (below) has become an expert on the impact of alkalized water on the human body and he explains the differences between alkaline and alkalized water much better than I can. I encourage you to preview this brief explanation. This is key to your health!
The bad news is that I offered an “uneducated” version of the need for alkaline water. The good news is that the source that I’ve been recommending all along produces ALKALIZED water NOT alkaline water. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better….

If you’ve ever wondered how food suppliers could possibly get by with deceiving the public about what we’re really eating just look in the mirror! We are their secret weapon.
Since water is the #1 requirement for health (and life) it’s important to understand what you are (and are not) drinking too! Don’t let your willful ignorance get in the way of making wise decisions about the water you and your family drink!
The Water Quality Association has awarded Kangen Water® the Gold Seal for water quality (aka healthy water) year after year.
With over 30 million people across the globe already drinking Kangen Water® isn’t it time you got on board too?

Too Cheap to Protect Your Health? You’ll Be Sorry!
Some things in life are clearly superior to others of like kind. Here is one of my favorites.
Stradivarius violins…there are none in the world like the violins mastered by the Stradivari family in the late 1600’s. These instruments are famous for the quality of sound they produce. Many attribute the difference to the wood used, the region the wood came from, the environmental conditions during the growth period of the wood and the minerals used to “finish” the wood. An original Stradivarius violin is not like any other in the world and it is deserving of the praise it receives.
I remember taking a tour of a temperature controlled private facility that houses only the finest things in the world. This facility has armed guards 24/7 and every security measure known to mankind to protect the magnificent items stored there. In one room was an original Stradivarius violin. It was the only thing in this room and it had its own guard. Carefully stored in a temperature and humidity controlled glass case this violin was gently removed from its case twice a day and played by a master violinist just to be sure that it was being cared for in the way it was intended to be and that it is maintained to “perfection” at all times. It was a magnificent sight to see. It’s worth? Millions.
What’s my point? My point is that your health is worth far more than the finest Stradivarius and yet we skimp, we cut corners, we ignore the obvious and then freak out when the body “cries wolf” and it quits working. Frankly, some people are just too cheap to protect their own health. They prefer to spend their money on indulgence instead of maintenance. Rest assured, that precious Stradivarius would not be so special if it was not provided the finest “care”at all costs 24 four hours a day. Your body is no different. To maintain “perfection” you can’t continue to ignore what it needs.
We are what we breathe, what we eat and what we drink. Quality is worth every penny you pay for it and THEN some. Do whatever you have to do and sacrifice whatever you have to sacrifice to buy non-GMO and organic foods. Take the highest quality supplements you can get your hands on AND last, but certainly not least, hydrate your body with the absolute healthiest water you can find. None of these things are cheap but you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to quality products for your health. I think you’re worth it! Do you?

Nothing like the last day of the month to do my monthly update, right? February was a very hectic month, so unfortunately most of my reading was postponed until the end of the month.
* Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson (reread) – This was my second reading of this particular book. The first time I read it was actually in college for a Children’s Lit class. I remember loving it the first time and the second time was no different.
Bridge to Terabithia centers around the friendship between its two main characters – Jess Aarons and Leslie Burke. The two are unlikely friends, but their mutual awkwardness and shared tendency to behave “differently” from the status quo is enough to create a lasting bond. Together, they create their own magical land, the namesake Terabithia, where they go to escape their ordinary, if not depressing, lives. The story takes a turn when tragedy strikes Terabithia and Jess is forced to deal with things far beyond his ten or eleven years. At that point, it’s probably best to just go ahead and grab your tissues.
My Take: Finding Bridge to Terabithia on “the list” was no surprise. This is one of those books that makes you reevaluate life and love. I appreciate that this book, written for very young adults (preteens even), touches on some very heavy topics in a way that is super-relatable. Being a teacher of young children allows me to read these kinds of books through a completely different lens. I see the Jesses and Leslies of the world every day in my own classroom – the kids that don’t quite “fit in” because maybe their family is a little bit different or they interested in something considered unusual for their age, gender, whatever. I’ve seen the way their lives change when they find that one friend with a common soul who understands and accepts them as they are. I want that for every child. It also makes me sad to think about how many kids out there are like this, but never find that one friend who will change their life… Overall, this book is an easy read with a big message and definitely worth the minimal time it takes to read. I dare anyone to try to get through the whole thing with dry eyes!
Frindle is story about young Nick Allen who has a knack for causing minor “disturbances” at his elementary school – things like transforming his third grade classroom into a tropical paradise… and getting his first-year teacher to buy into it! However, after meeting his all-business fifth grade teacher (Mrs. Granger), Nick’s escapades seem to be in jeopardy. That is, until he spontaneously decides to create a brand-new word: frindle (to name the object formerly known as a pen). His seemingly harmless prank catches some steam and soon the word has grown beyond Nick’s control. Meanwhile, Mrs. Granger is doing everything in her power to thwart frindle-users everywhere.
My Take: First of all, I love lovelove the character of Nick! I love the way his mind works and that his portrayal does not stay true to any one stereotype. He’s smart, but not nerdy. He’s unusual, but not a “weirdo.” He’s a bit mischievous, but not mean-spirited. Secondly, I love that this book, written for elementary- and middle-schoolers, isn’t focused on the social issues they may face at school, but rather on a child’s growing curiosity and innovation. So many books directed at this audience tend to deal with those social issues (admittedly important in more than one way), but I feel like we have a generation of children who need to know that creativity is important too. I feel like they need permission to take risks and to think outside the box, and more importantly, to want to have an impact beyond their immediate scope. Frindle at first glance is a funny story about a silly, made-up word, but the implications of what Nick created reach towards a greater purpose and hint at what can happen when kids make up their mind to change even one small part of their world! This book left me smiling and inspired to think big… Another easy, but worthwhile, read!
So… what do you think? Has anyone else read Terabithia or Frindle? Do you agree with my reviews? I’m excited to hear everyone’s thoughts!
Since meeting Tiffany almost three and half years ago, she and I have bonded over many things – our students, our shared teaching beliefs, our love of chocolate and other delicious food stuffs, our mutual devotion to television… We share “new finds” with each other all the time. I tried to give her a heart attack by making her watch 24 and she got me hooked on Revenge, Scandal, Gilmore Girls, and more. We also have a shared obsession with great young adult novels. For her birthday last year, I got her the Divergent box set and she introduced me to the Matched series. We read and talked, saw the movies and felt like we had a pretty good grasp on the world of young adult novels… until we found the list! In Tiffany’s post, she mentioned that she was disappointed that she had only read about a third of the list. I was more shocked than disappointed. I thought for sure that I would have read more of them! I felt very confident in my supreme knowledge of the genre. Alas, I too had only read about one third of the books! So, here is my list – divided into new books and rereads! Any surprises?
6. Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret.
As promised, here is my version of the list, divided into “new reads” and “rereads.” To be honest, I was pretty disappointed that I had only read about a third of the entire list!
Is it weird that I’m actually more excited about getting to reread some old favorites than something new?
If you’ve read anything I haven’t, leave a note in the comments section so I will look forward to some of the others!
Welcome to the Young Adult Book Challenge!
Long story short, my friend Ashley and I are always looking for new things to read, particularly young adult novels. We had originally toyed with the idea of a 2015 new YA challenge list that was put out by Buzzfeed… then I came across this list of The 100 Best Young Adult Books of All Time put out by Time.com. I knew this was the challenge we should pursue.
Of course, we had to start a blog about it!
The list will be divided into New Reads and Rereads for each of us.
At least one book from each list must be read each month.
If a series is listed, only the first book must be read– any remaining books to be read are up to the reader.
Blog posts must be written at least once a month to update our status and to review the books read.
We are really excited to start the challenge and blog.
Stay tuned for our lists and first reviews! | 2019-04-22T15:02:43 | https://yabookchallenge.wordpress.com/2015/02/ | [

The project was launched in December of 2017 by artist, Alyssa Andrews, and is rooted in consent and the equity and inclusion of marginalized people. To achieve this, there is no jury or selection process (all bodies submitted are drawn), and there is no monetary cost for participants or consumers (the project is funded entirely on community support and donation).
Visibility is important and we deserve to not only be seen, but seen as we are. This project seeks to honor our community. Our lives. Our stories. | 2019-04-21T06:16:55 | https://www.allqueerbods.com/about | [

A shapely single woman wearing an open leather jacket is pumping gas.
Another car stops at the pump next to hers.
A conservative man gets out and starts pumping gas.
He doesn’t like staring but, try as he may, he simply cannot stop staring at this woman.
Being a conservative man, he starts feeling guilty after a while.
To make amends with his guilty conscience, he calls out to her as she is about to leave. | 2019-04-21T22:02:17 | https://onlinedatingsitesandservices.com/online-dating-humor/a-slight-distraction/ | [

Whose Children Are These? provides a gripping view into the lives of three Muslim teenagers impacted by anti-terrorism national security measures. One such program, “Special Registration,” required male non-citizens, as young as 16 from 25 predominately Arab and Muslim nations, to register with the US Government and resulted in the discriminatory deportation of nearly 14,000 men. The film introduces Navila, an honors student who fought to have her father released from detention; Sarfaraz, a popular basketball player who confronts pending deportation; and Hager, a young woman who faces bias and is spurred into activism as a result.
And forward the information to your friends and networks. Hopefully lots of people will get a chance to see this important documentary. | 2019-04-25T20:31:59 | https://shashwati.com/2007/08/14/please-write-to-pbs/ | [

UNITED NATIONS: Offering its wholehearted support to flood-stricken Pakistan, India has vowed to do all it can to assist the country in relief efforts, apart from the US dollars five million in aid already extended by it.
BUSHEHR (IRAN): Iran’s first nuclear power plant was opened Saturday by Iranian and Russian nuclear officials in the southern port city of Bushehr after a delay of almost three decades.
MOSCOW: Russian security forces on Saturday claimed a major success in their anti-terror drive as they gunned down a top Islamist militant said to be the mastermind of the March suicide bombings on Moscow metro.
LONDON: A couple in Germany were in for a rude shock when they came to check on their home that had undergone renovation. A goat had not only moved into their third-floor apartment, it had also chewed up and ripped their curtains.
UNITED NATIONS: Amid global concerns that terrorists may take advantage of the devastating floods in Pakistan, its Foreign Minister, Mr Shah Mahmood Qureshi has assured the international community that Islamabad will not allow this to happen.
WASHINGTON: The US has told Israel that it would take Iran a year or longer to build nuclear weapons, thus dimming the prospects of a pre-emptive strike on Tehran’s nuclear arsenal.
LONDON: Britain has warned Libya not to celebrate the first anniversary of Lockerbie bomber’s release from a Scottish jail today, saying any celebration of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi’s freedom will be “offensive and deeply insensitive to the victims’ families”.
COLOMBO: Seeking to give a further boost to bilateral friendly ties, India will set up two new consulates in Sri Lanka’s Jaffna and Hambantota cities.
DELHI/ISLAMABAD: With Pakistan dithering over accepting India’s offer of $5 million aid for flood victims, the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh on Thursday renewed the aid offer when he spoke to his Pakistani counterpart, Mr Yousaf Raza Gilani and conveyed his sorrow over the tragedy. | 2019-04-19T03:38:26 | http://www.navhindtimes.in/category/worldnews/page/1083/ | [

Facebook on Friday disclosed a breach of its network that affected almost 50 million user accounts. The social networking giant said that attackers exploited a vulnerability in Facebook’s code that let them steal access tokens when users switched over to a public profile view via the “View As” feature. The access tokens allowed the attackers to take over user accounts — however it’s still unclear whether user data was accessed and misused.
Facebook said it has secured its network and user accounts since engineering discovered the attack on September 25. The vulnerability was fixed and Facebook said it has notified law enforcement. | 2019-04-20T03:10:49 | http://hackwolrdwide.com/facebook-discloses-network-breach-affecting-50-million-user-accounts/general/news/2018/ | [

One of them has been eliminated...permanently.
The traveling TV dance show, Ballroom with the B-Listers, is coming to Washington, D.C., and ballroom dancer Stacy Graysin is first in line to participate. Not only will the publicity propel Graysin Motion, Stacy’s dance studio, into the limelight, but the prize money could help offset her looming debt. Plus, Stacy’s teen idol, heartthrob Zane Savage, specifically requested to be her partner.
But the whirlwind reality contest stumbles when the show’s coproducer, Tessa King, is found dead in the Potomac River. All the clues point to Tessa being murdered—and the suspects are the contestants and crew of B-Listers. Now Zane and the rest of the B-Listers must promenade back to fame, and Stacy will need to hustle to maintain her reputation, win the competition, and catch a killer.
Ella Barrick grew up in the South, but has since migrated West. She spent some time working for Uncle Sam and taught English at the college level before turning her hand to writing mysteries.
Ella and her husband took exactly two ballroom dancing lessons on the quickstep before Ella’s bruised ankles and crushed feet forced them to retire. (Her husband is a wonderful guy, but he doesn’t have a single ballroom dance gene in his whole body.) Thus, Ella relies on the kindness of competitive ballroom dancers and friends who foxtrot fabulously for the dance details in her Ballroom Dance Mysteries. And, of course, she watches Dancing with the Stars for costume and choreography ideas!
Besides writing, Ella enjoys reading, gardening, home decorating, traveling, and long walks or hikes.
This sounds like a fun cozy to read. I would like to see who did it.
I enjoyed DEAD MAN WALTZING and am looking forward to the latest in this series!

QPM Cosmetology belongs to the Wellness range. All of the applications contained in this range are intended for professionals in a variety of sectors. It provides them with information on the levels and consequences of oxidative stress on the individual. This oxidative stress, which is responsible for all our ills, is exactly what the bio-impedance measurement measures. If oxidation occurs somewhere in the body, then obviously this alters the passage of the electrical current.
For QPM Cosmetology the skin is a system in its own right, having its own laws and functions. Like all of the other systems of the body, this system is prey to oxidative stress due to the very fact of the aging process in living systems. Each human being possesses its own, specific Longevity depending both on the genetic makeup and on biochemical and metabolic factors, environment agents and also the inner self, the psychological makeup (for instance, anxious individuals age more quickly). The skin on the face is the one place in particular where the individual’s inner self meets with the physical stressors due to the environment (the skin is usually not covered by clothing) and the free radicals present a more intense oxidative activity here merely by virtue of that absence of protection. The tensions and stresses of modern day living can be seen more markedly in the face than anywhere else on the body, because the face is the most exposed portion of our body as it is usually left uncovered. Local oxidative stress causes aging, deterioration of the conjunctive tissue, loss of hydration, poor oxygenation of the tissues, just so many factors that predispose the face to wear. If the skin is hydrated, oxygenated, if the pH is modified, visible and measurable effects can be objectively observed through the before and after measurements of bio-impedance. This therefore enables us to show the real, biophysical condition of the skin and its oxidation, to propose an assessment of the skin’s condition, to recommend the type of product to apply, to monitor the progress of the results of application of the cosmetics.
QPM Cosmetology performs a direct measurement of clinical stress, which is also a factor that predicts the action of the different cosmetics applied to the skin. The technology indicates which products of the range are most appropriate to the individual, and prescribes then in a way that admits of little discussion, hence a wager of efficacy.
This application concerns cosmetics manufacturers first and foremost, as well as all professionals called upon to give advice or apply cosmetics. | 2019-04-18T13:11:54 | http://quanticpotential.com/index.php/en/wellness-range/qpm-cosmetology | [

It has been noted lately that some European cities like Venice, Paris, London are so increasingly overrun with tourists that residents are getting fed up and pushing back or leaving city centers. Such overcrowding will likely have tourists turning their eyes to lesser known destinations and Bosnia and Herzegovina is a best kept secret you should discover while it’s still relatively unknown.
The country was rocked by the Balkan conflicts of the 90’s and emerged as one of the poorer players in the region, however what it may lack in international appeal, it has more than enough to entertain in authentic and local charms.
We made the journey to the capital city of Sarajevo to spend New Year’s Eve and it was a spectacular celebration. Music filled the city squares and thrilled locals made us feel at home so that the crowd never felt overwhelming.
Sarajevo, like many of the cities still bears its scars of the conflict, buildings that are chipped and marked by arms, but the city has really risen from the ashes. It has a blossoming hostel, hotel and homestay market. Cafes and restaurants are filled with young people enthusiastic about life and culture.
It is possible to see churches, mosques and synagogues which demonstrate the deep roots of this ancient crossroads. The old town market holds delightful coffee, souvenirs and local foods that smell and taste savory. It really feels like a small town even though it is the capital.
Mostar is the second most visited city on the list so that’s where we went next. The blue green waters of the Neretva river are iconic and they stand out even more against the famous white stone bridge which arches high above the waters. Mostar is a tiny town, but it was largely undisturbed by the war and so offers a window into past architecture and culture.
One of the best ways to see all of these cities is to take advantage of the country’s high functioning bus system between towns or to rent a car. The dramatic views of steep mountains, deep forests and pure rivers. Small towns are everywhere and being able to catch a glimpse of local life feels like traveling backwards in time to Europe of a few centuries ago.
A town we did not get time to see but we recommend and want to see in the future is Tuzla. It’s the third largest city and it has a well preserved old town along with a young population that promises a city filled with culture and opportunities. | 2019-04-20T17:23:41 | https://admirablejourneys.com/bosnia-and-herzegovina/ | [

From Rumours of Paradise / Rumours of War, Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1995, page 30. In addition to being a memorable poet, George Amabile was one of my university professors. To me, writing without rhyme, if done conscientiously, is just as hard as writing with rhyme. Likewise, organic form in poetry is every bit as challenging as following a set metrical pattern, if not more so. Similarly, if one counts syllables in haiku, that is the most superficial of its disciplines, and not its real discipline at all. I also think of Robert Hass, in his essay “One Body: Some Notes on Form,” who said “Frost was wrong to say that free verse was like playing tennis without a net” (in Twentieth Century Pleasures: Prose on Poetry, New York: Ecco Press, 1984, 69). | 2019-04-26T13:55:40 | http://www.graceguts.com/poems-by-others/ars-poetica | [

It’s so refreshing to see some great theatre being produced, though calling Little Ones stage adaption of the work by Christos Tsiolkas “great” seems almost reductive. It’s impossible not to be simultaneously blown away yet also drawn inwardly into this performance. Each of the spiralling narratives builds to an unsettling end, as all of the sexual tension explodes and enigmatic energy comes simmering to the surface.
This is the gritty underside of Australia, the kind of places, people and situations that are brought down and into disrepute by our main stream contemporaries and media outlets. It takes no prisoners and it’s bleak bordering on the dystopian. This sense achieved not by painting the big picture but instead tapping into the psychological landscape that lies just below.
The ensemble give in to their respective characters, the over lapping and playing of multiple roles by a single performer is at times a confusing, but deliberate choice. Many times over, you experience just drifting away and becoming lost in many of the heavy passages of text and about this, there is something meditative. Other times, you are brought back into the moment so viscously that you are reduced to tears. The subject matter is unflinching, a terminally ill man who has given consent for his wife and children to administer a lethal dose or the bombing of a gay sauna and rampant sexual exploitation just some of the many themes.
The eye to detail that has been applied to this production by each creator is evident and the picture they manage to paint proves a sumptuous backdrop. The stage forms a sharp and abrupt shape that teeters out from a rich red velvet curtain, the audience flanked on two sides, everything here has been edited down to a distinct colour pallet of blue orange yellow and red. The lighting design is second to none, it’s subtle and its refinement gives further depth to an already layered work.
Nothing can prepare you for this level of awesomeness, it is the very best independently produced locally made theatre we have seen this so far year. Not for the faint hearted or easily offended, this work is important and will be spoken of for sometime to come. An easy prediction to clean up at next year Green Room Awards, Merciless Gods is now playing at Northcote Town Hall. | 2019-04-19T07:32:42 | https://tagg.com.au/merciless/ | [

The next step in the progression toward full blown deflation is emerging. Psychologists who treat the neurotic upper middle class are reporting widespread fee reductions in an attempt to maintain a client base. Even corporate lawyers whose own mothers are afraid to call them lest they be billed for the hours are shifting to offering clients discounted flat fee plans. Their mothers still get billed.
The consumer price index has shown the first year to year decline since 1955 but prices can move up and down and not actually reflect inflation or deflation. The actual cost of things depends on real world events like the availability of oil. Of course the price of oil has everything to do with market manipulation and the criminality of that is another issue. Cut backs in things like eating out or not buying a new BMW creates job cuts but not deflation. But once people start cutting wages and especially service fees you can see that deflation is setting in.
True inflation or deflation has to do with the management of money supply. To much debt creation is what causes inflation. When huge, unrealistic debt loads can no longer be maintained the money supply gets out of control and starts to collapse. This is deflation and is what defines a Great Depression. Deflation causes the collapse of the entire debt load since the reduction in cash flow makes paying interest and principle impossible. The cash flow crisis then spreads throughout the system dragging down people and businesses who aren’t in debt as well.
So you see, lawyers are like the canary in the coal mine or the shark in the fish tank (well you get the idea). Money needs to be injected into the system from the bottom, not the top. It has to be used to create an actual economy and not just more paper on a bank balance sheet. If enough lawyers can’t make the payments on their Mercedes we might get some action. | 2019-04-23T14:53:08 | http://www.prairie2.com/2009/04/lawyers-are-losing-their-feathers.html | [

Spain’s Sultry Island of Ibiza boasts sun-drenched days and spectacular nights.
My plane began descending at the same moment the sun slowly started its ascent from where it was hiding beneath the horizon, the pink hues and deep shades of red saturating my face with their warm colors. If I had known then that the sunrise I was experiencing at that moment would be the last one I would witness while on the Island of Ibiza, I would surely have soaked in the moment more deeply. Instead I squinted past the colors to gaze out on what lay before me on the ground, immediately falling under the Island’s spell as we made our descent over the Balearic Sea.
Located just over a hundred miles off the mainland of Spain in the mediterranean sea, Ibiza is the third largest of the Balearic Islands and part of Spain’s comunidad autonoma (autonomous community). Although the Island’s extraordinary landscape changes throughout the year from fields of flowering almond trees to orchards ripe with fruitful citrus fruits, the island’s unspoiled beauty, pine-clad hills and sandy coves can be seen all year round.
It’s been said that there is a special energy on Ibiza—the Spanish Island that has best become known as the playground for the world’s most fashionable crowd of celebrities and dJs looking to experience its infamous nightlife and ethereal offerings—and already I could see that the rumors were true. I would quickly learn that life moves at a different pace on the island, with mornings lazily beginning well past noon and evenings speeding by at a rapid pace until wrapping up just minutes before sunrise.
Ibiza offers something few other destinations could ever dream of offering, with its nonchalant romance dripping from sun-drenched shores and its fervent Spanish passion igniting the island anew each day. Ibiza itself is not as much a holiday destination as it is a lifestyle that is meant to be encountered, discovered and indulged upon.
Over the years, the island’s once “college boy” persona has grown up and developed a taste for luxury, where bar menus featuring Jager shots have transformed into ones with handcrafted cocktails prepared with interesting ingredients and premium spirits, and multi-course tasting dinners are now paired alongside exquisite wine lists and sultry live entertainment. Ibiza’s new blend of refined offerings has unmistakably transformed the island into something that is luxuriously attractive for stylish visitors seeking to soak in its signature bohemian vibe.
Accommodations on Ibiza range from a-list villa rentals like the Can Verru Villa (canverruibiza.com) that kate moss regularly rents out when she is on the island to luxury boutique hotels like the hotel Cas Gasi (casgasi.com) that’s constantly being named as Ibiza’s best-kept secret. Theme Ibiza (melia.com) is the top choice for yachters and vip guests due to its discreet location and direct access for yachts. This boho-chic hotel offers 179 guestrooms and 26 deluxe suites with their own personality and ambiance, and many of them overlook the stunning nikki beach (nikkibeach.com) or the sea.
The hotel’s skinc spa is home to the world’s first skin supplement bar, featuring 100-percent pure active serums from Japan and one of the best views on Ibiza from its rooftop relaxation deck with 360-degree views of the island. Entrance to any of the exclusive pools at the me Ibiza is highly sought after by locals and vip guests, where the adults-only infinity pool at the rooftop offers a club-like environment with bali beds, daily dJs and cool cocktails served alongside a full menu of tapas, treats and fresh seafood.
Even though it doesn’t share a coastline with its Spanish siblings, that quintessential Spanish passion for gastronomy is still very much engrained in the culture on ibiza. Most restaurants open around 8 p.m., but the fashionable crowd doesn’t generally start arriving until well after 10 p.m. the island is famous for its Ibizan paella, or La Burrida de Ratjada, and every dinner ends with something sweet, like local flao (a tart made with goat and sheep cheeses and mint), greixonera (a bread pudding type concoction made from local pastries), or orellaetes (small ear-shaped cakes).
For more than 15 years, Sa Capella has continually ranked as one of the best restaurants on the island. Housed in a former 16th-century church, the restaurant is notorious for its local dishes prepared with fresh ingredients in a romantic setting. For a more exclusive experience, pastis (pastisibiza.com) is an authentic french bistro with only 10 tables and an extensive wine menu curated by the parisian owner herself. Healthy diners rave about the raw and vegan dishes at wild beets (wildbeets. com) while anyone looking to see-and-be-seen can be found at celebrity hotspot lio (lioibiza.com) a location that is equal parts upscale restaurant and sultry cabaret.
Shopping on Ibiza isn’t limited to souvenir shops or beachfront duds, and the island is actually renowned for its distinctive fashion scene, better known as adlib fashion. The trend was born in the early 1970s and is characterized by intricately embellished white garments made from fresh cotton fabrics. Some of the best stores for shopping this trend are found in the port of Ibiza, but the island is also home to one of the best vintage stores in Europe, vintage icons and echoes. This eclectic shop is tucked away behind the main tourist hub of Santa Eulalia, and features retro artifacts and designer gear, like endof-the-line Prada shoes, nightgowns from the 1920s and Vivienne Westwood labels.
Ibiza town and Sant Antoni are the bases for the bulk of the major european nightclubs, like pacha ibiza (pachaibiza. com) where David Guetta spends his summers performing with his never-ending lineup of celebrity guests that have included snoop dogg, usher, ludacris, robin schulz, will.i.am, kelis and kelly rowland. Other hot nightspots include privelege (privilegeibiza.com), currently the guinness world record holder as the “world’s largest nightclub,” and dc-10, an unassumingly chic club housed in a former airplane hangar offthe edge of the Ibizan airport runway.
Ibiza offers tons of other opportunities to explore and play, like the trolling the modern-art offerings at the parra & romero gallery (parra-romero.com), lounging on the expansive white sandy beaches, and heading under the stars for to see one of the most beautiful and atmospheric open air cinemas in the world at Amante beach club’s (amanteibiza.com) weekly movie night. | 2019-04-20T06:12:23 | http://hiluxury.com/experience/real-club-med/nggallery/image/the_real_club_med_680px_18/ | [

The report is the second in a two-part assessment of the coalition’s record on the NHS, the first part of which looked at the government’s reforms, concluding that the upheaval caused by the Health and Social Care Act was damaging and distracting. This new report assesses NHS performance under the coalition, finding that it held up well for the first three years of the parliament but has now deteriorated, with waiting times at their highest levels for a number of years and several key targets missed.
the number of health-care acquired infections has fallen, with cases of MRSA and C difficile at historically low levels (3).
there are signs that NHS staff are under significant pressure and morale is an increasing cause for concern (6).
The report also finds that the NHS has made some progress in improving efficiency, but that it cannot continue to rely on limiting staff salary increases, reducing the prices paid to hospitals for treatment and cutting management costs to deliver savings. Looking ahead, it signals that, while further efficiencies can be found, additional funding of £8 billion a year by 2020 is the minimum requirement for the NHS to continue to meet patient needs and maintain standards of care.
John Appleby, Chief Economist at The King’s Fund and the lead author of the report, said: ‘The next government will inherit a health service that has run out of money and is operating at the very edge of its limits. While the NHS has performed well in the face of huge challenges, there is now a real risk that patient care will deteriorate as service and financial pressures become overwhelming.
The NHS under the coalition government - Part two: NHS performance is published by The King’s Fund on 26 March 2015. For further information or to request an interview, please contact the Press and Public Affairs team on 020 7307 2585 (if calling out of hours, please ring 07584 146035).
(1) Between September 2009 and September 2014, the number of nurses increased by 2.5 per cent (8,108 FTE), the number of consultants by 16.7 per cent (5,789 FTE), and the number of GPs by 2.3 per cent (835 FTE). At the same time the number of management staff reduced by 17.3 per cent (7,345 FTE).
(2) A number of patient surveys show that patient experience remains high and is improving across many services. Public satisfaction with the NHS increased to 65 per cent in 2014, its second highest level ever, having fallen from 70 per cent in 2010 to 58 per cent in 2011.
(3) Cases of MRSA and C difficile had decreased significantly before the coalition took office and have continued to fall to 34 and 445 respectively in January 2015. This compares to 59 and 1,019 in May 2010.
(4) In the third quarter of 2014/15, 7.4 per cent of patients spent longer than four hours in A&E. This is up from 2 per cent in the final quarter before the coalition came into office and is the poorest performance since 2003.
11.3 per cent of inpatients and 5 per cent of outpatients waited longer than 18 weeks for treatment in January 2015. This compares to 7.1 per cent and 1.8 per cent respectively in May 2010. The targets for both have been breached in recent months for the first time since 2008.
The target that 85 per cent of patients with suspected cancer should be treated within 62 days has been missed for four consecutive quarters, having never previously been missed since it was introduced at the end of 2008/9.
(5) Occupancy rates for general and acute beds in hospitals increased to 89.5 per cent in the third quarter of 2014/15, up from 87.7 per cent in the same quarter in 2010/11, with one in six trusts reporting occupancy levels above 95 per cent. Occupancy rates above 85 per cent are generally considered likely to lead to bed shortages and expose patients to risks.
(6) 38 per cent of staff reported that they had felt unwell due to work-related stress according to the 2014 NHS Staff Survey. Staff morale has topped the list of concerns raised by trust finance directors in the regular survey undertaken for our last two quarterly monitoring reports.
How has the NHS performed under the coalition government?
Our infographic explores some key facts and figures.
The last data on NHS performance measures before the election, released this week, shows us what the incoming government will be inheriting. So what does it tell us? | 2019-04-24T08:43:56 | https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/press/press-releases/nhs-performance-deteriorating-election-approaches-concludes-assessment-king%E2%80%99s | [

Man versus Nature is one of five original narrative conflicts, and over the years stories and novels about the interaction between humans and the wild have been piling up. Ben Percy’s aim in his debut novel, The Wilding (Graywolf Press), is to establish himself among the great nature writers, as is made clear by an opening page of epigraphs that reference William Kittredge, Wallace Stegner, and Deliverance author James Dickey.
Percy’s success at blazing his own trail in the game of nature writing varies. The Wilding contains three distinct, though interlocking, narratives. Each portrays the role that nature or the wild can play in human life, but each one is not equal.
The meatiest arc belongs to a group of hunters who seek out nature by wandering out into Echo Canyon: a Native American reserve that will soon be torn down. The hunting party includes Justin Caves, the central character–a seemingly nice enough English teacher whose interest in nature seem perfunctory; his father, Paul, who is the real outdoorsman and the leader of the trip; and lastly, there is Graham, Justin’s son, who is given a camera by his mother and a gun by his grandfather. The goal is for Graham to shoot a buck and become a man, but Justin’s personal goal is to treat Graham in a caring way that will show his father the proper way to nurture a child. Clearly, Justin has some issues—in fact he still has nightmares about a deer that his father made him kill many years ago.
Now, fathers and sons going out to the woods to hunt is apparently a rite of passage, but writing a story about that rite of passage also seems to be a rite of passage for a lot of Midwestern and Western writers. Percy’s contribution to this trope comes off, structurally, a little dull. The characters seem so obviously at odds with each other that it’s confusing why they thought the trip was a good idea. The other problematic issue lies in the Echo Canyon question. Much of the first half of the book is dedicated to understanding why the land is important. Percy even brings in a Native American named Tom Bear Claws to speak on behalf on the land and its native inhabitants. (This scene is unfortunately reminiscent of the movie Ernest Goes to Camp.) And even though this set-up turns out to be a ruse, there are a lot of pages wasted not doing what Percy does best.
“Justin snatches up another log and tosses it on the fire, a little too roughly, sending a gnat clod of sparks into the air. The wood is dry and porous and a few seconds later the flames rise up in a gentle roar, playing orange light across the canyon walls and into the darker corners of the forest. Out of which steps the bear. | 2019-04-20T08:21:25 | https://sonorareview.com/2010/11/08/two-part-review-the-wilding-by-ben-percy/ | [

When I was little, I made a bunch of single panel cartoons and called the series “AWOL.” I would print out a template. As you can see, I was a hilarious child.
I just had a wonderful time performing one of my pirate epics, “Luc Le Reutte,” at the Out Of The Blue Art Gallery in Cambridge, MA. I’m so thrilled that so many people showed up and it was an incredible night! Thanks everyone!
Hello! Thanks for visiting the new site. Check out the comic strip, listen to some poetry, and stay tuned for more great stuff, and updates about my work.

Using a food processor, shred the cabbage and rice the cauliflower. If using frozen riced cauliflower, defrost 1 cup. Heat coconut oil in large saute pan. Add onion plus 1/4 tsp salt and cook until onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add shredded cabbage (you might have to do this in batches). Once all the cabbage is in the saute pan, stir in ginger, spices and remaining salt.Then add peas and cauliflower and mix gently to combine. Top with lemon before serving. | 2019-04-24T11:48:22 | https://www.foodconfidence.com/wprm_print/13503 | [

The historic and scandal-prone Buenos Aires zoo is set to close and all animals transitioned to nature preserves because, as the city's Mayor Horacio Rodríguez Larreta put simply on Friday, "Captivity is degrading."
The 140-year-old zoo in Buenos Aires' Palermo neighborhood will be turned into an "ecopark" when it reopens later this year after its 2,500 animals are removed, although some of the older and infirm animals will remain on site, the Guardian reports. That includes the orangutan Sandra, who made headlines in 2014 when an unsuccessful bid to have her freed from captivity nonetheless resulted in her being termed a "non-human person" deserving of rights by a Buenos Aires court.
As an ecopark, the site will also provide "refuge and rehabilitation" for animals rescued from trafficking operations.
"This situation of captivity is degrading for the animals, it’s not the way to take care of them," Larreta said Thursday during a press conference.
The ecopark will also serve as a venue "where children can learn how to take care of and relate with the different species," he continued. "What we have to value is the animals. The way they live here is definitely not the way to do that."
In recent years, the zoo has attracted criticism for its inadequate conditions, such as its handling of polar bears during the city's scorching hot summers.
Gerardo Biglia, an animal rights activist who has long pushed for the zoo's closure, said in a press release, "The most important thing is breaking with the model of captivity and exhibition. I think there is a change coming for which we are already prepared because kids nowadays consider it obvious that it's wrong for animals to be caged." | 2019-04-24T02:41:30 | https://www.commondreams.org/news/2016/06/24/captivity-degrading-historic-and-controversial-buenos-aires-zoo-close | [

Bella and Jax are back and the crap is getting so deep for this couple. I am scratching my head about brother Adam. The couple has a nice surprise for the family. Bella however has learned her husband very well and something major is happening and being who she is she will get to the bottom of it even if it kills her.
God I hate cliffhangers but thankfully this author knocks these stories out quickly so not a long wait. I loved this book and have enjoyed every book in this series thus far. I did find some grammar issues but nothing that takes from the story. If Mafia Romance is your thing, you will not be disappointed. | 2019-04-22T12:04:41 | https://www.booknooknuts.com/2016/06/review-5-stars-bella-vol-5-sagatori.html | [

Anna C. Christensen has been a supporter of family planning since high school, when she stuffed envelopes as a volunteer at a Planned Parenthood affiliate in California. Now a Tucson resident, she continues to advocate for reproductive rights and sexual health.
Planned Parenthood Arizona serves more than 100,000 families every year; maybe your family is one of them.
Tucson is home to the Margaret Sanger Health Center, namesake of Planned Parenthood's founder. A century ago, Margaret Sanger was a New York City nurse who witnessed the horrors of women dying prematurely after having too many children, while others died from botched abortions. This experience motivated her to become an activist for the availability and legality of contraception. Sanger was a controversial figure—and that controversy lingers to this day.
Sanger first visited Tucson in the 1930s, when she helped set up the Tucson Mother's Health Clinic (also called Clinica Para las Madres), Planned Parenthood of Southern Arizona's precursor. Sanger, bedeviled by health problems, was drawn by Tucson's climate. Her husband was drawn by Arizona's lack of income tax, and in 1933, they purchased an adobe house in the foothills.
In the early '40s, Sanger and her husband moved closer to the city's heart, as gasoline rations dulled suburbia's attractiveness. They moved into a house on Elm Street, just east of the Arizona Inn. Before his death, her husband obtained an empty lot on Sierra Vista Drive, a stone's throw from their Elm Street residence. Sanger's son Stuart built a house on one side, and Sanger decided to build her dream home on the other.
Sanger's homes hosted lavish parties as well as fundraisers for organizations like Planned Parenthood of Southern Arizona and the Tucson Medical Center (of which she was also a co-founder). She took up hobbies such as cooking and watercolor; today, many of her original paintings adorn the walls of Planned Parenthood administrative headquarters in Tucson, the building that was named in her honor.
Planned Parenthood, in Arizona and nationwide, is currently under attack. Republicans in the House of Representatives voted to do away with Title X, a national program providing preventive health care to low-income patients; the fate of Title X is now in the Senate's hands. Since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed it into law, it has helped millions of women access services such as contraception, preventing an estimated 973,000 unintended pregnancies and 406,000 abortions every year.
Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), meanwhile, seeks to interfere with services covered by private insurance. By cutting off federal funds for insurance companies that cover abortions—even when the tax dollars aren't put toward abortion coverage—his bill would deny women the legal right to an abortion, guaranteed by the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. It would also impose tax penalties on those whose insurance offers such coverage.
In Arizona, families are facing further potential threats as the Republican-controlled Legislature introduced several anti-women's-health initiatives this year. HB 2384 would make Planned Parenthood newly ineligible for the Arizona Working Poor Tax Credit. HB 2416 would cause additional obstacles to abortion access, including changing the definition of "surgical abortion" to include abortion by pill, which could cut off rural women from abortion services. HB 2443 would infringe upon patient privacy by denying care to women who refuse to disclose the reasons behind their decision to abort.
A century ago, Margaret Sanger witnessed tragedies that resulted from unintended pregnancies. In response, she illegally smuggled diaphragms into the country and opened family-planning clinics in defiance of the law—and spent time in jail for her troubles. This is the world Sanger and other birth-control activists came from, and it's the world lawmakers are trying to bring back.
Don't stand for it. Talk to your friends; write to your representatives; vote; volunteer; and visit www.standwithplannedparenthood.org to show your support for Planned Parenthood's crucial work. | 2019-04-21T06:26:12 | https://www.tucsonweekly.com/tucson/guest-commentary/Content?oid=2620639 | [

Alan aka "Crossjunkie" has been riding a proto ti CX frame for us. Here's a video he's put together.
Sithee lad, I were reet impressed with the mounting of the crown jewels. Loved the sound of the curlews above Rawstenstall. Would this be the well trodden route for running bootleg titanium tubing across the county border?
looks great just needs all cables on the top tube like "Uncle John", the Lynskey Cooper CX is up for sale. | 2019-04-19T21:11:03 | https://www.planetx.co.uk/news/teams-and-riders/q/date/2012/03/10/hometime | [

We played OGC in Dallas TX over the weekend. We drew the teams out of the hat the day prior and tasked each team with coming up with a theme.
The “Hawaiian Hula Girls” won the day.
Given Dallas has a large number of bars with open patios in the area we played we had a lot of teams who were caught gazing into a patio area and had to stop on many more occasions for a pint then they had hoped for.
It has been a long time since we posted an OGC meeting, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been happening. Since Oxford, we’ve played Islington and Borough, and I know of other matches played in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Stuttgart, New Haven, and Santa Cruz. Which just goes to show you can’t keep a good chicken (cow, easter bunny, etc) down.
Great news everyone! All of chicken suit woman’s friends have now turned up and they are knocking back bolly like there’s no tomorrow!
But, on the plus side, the Trottwood had very pretty origami cranes hanging from the ceiling and casting their avian shadows over our celebration.
Next up: Cambridge, the City, or the King’s Road. Obviously also Spokane at some point.
Lovely all times she lies, especially during One Giant Chicken!
On Sunday 12 May a group of us convened on Oxford for an inaugural One Giant Chicken Varsity Match. We ended up with twenty people (3 who live in Oxford, 16 who live in London, 1 who lives in San Francisco). on an absolutely beautiful day.
We began at the Weatsheaf, a townie pub if ever there was one. Why? Because it’s right in the middle of town, down an alleyway, and that way no unsuspecting non-Oxonian Chicken would wander in there. As it turned out, I had the good fortune of drawing my own name to be One Giant Chicken. I high-tailed it across Christ Church Meadow, down the Long Walk to the Head of the River. Where else could I go, really? It was a lovely spring day and that chicken costume is HOT. On the way, though, I was like the pied piper. Several toddlers (presumably mistaking me for Big Bird) tried to follow me on my merry way.
Anyway, despite Oxford being a fantastic city in which to drink, we discovered some downsides for One Giant Chicken. The first was intentional: we declared all society bars out of bounds. That meant no college bars or butteries; nor could the chicken avail itself of Vinnies, the Union Bar, or the University Club. That left about 30 pubs/bars in the centre (see the boundaries we used below). We also made sure that an Oxonian was able to captain each team. And since I was chicken they had a pretty good hunch that I wasn’t going to be some place dreadful like the Mitre or Maxwells.
Of course, my being chicken also gave Andrew’s team an unfair advantage, which he exploited. Nice day + my preference for a pleasant afternoon = head to the pub with the best patio. And there they found me, almost immediately. Sigh. Alana took a picture to prove that they’d won, but we were tricksy and did it inside, with the giant fireplace behind me, which did indeed throw some of the others.
After which they found us very quickly (though they still did Strawpedos at the Old Tom on their way south). For those of you forgetting your ancient Egyptian mythology, that’s Isis, the namesake of the River Thames in Oxford.
OGC might actually be best played in venues where the majority of participants don’t know the majority of the drinking establishments. Otherwise it risks being rather predictable.
Playing on a beautiful day is great, but you should be aware that chickens like beer gardens, and that can narrow down the options.
No one in Oxford bats an eyelash at a grown man wearing a chicken costume at a pub mid-afternoon whilst reading the London Review of Books. No one even asked me what was going on.
My friend Allison told me about One Giant Chicken over Christmas. My first reaction was “why did I not think of this?!”. My second reaction was “my friends will love this game.” And so we set about trying to find a time when we could have a go at it. Unfortunately, what with a honeymoon for the bulk of January and a busy February for both myself and Andrew, we couldn’t actually make our first OGC run until today.
Suffice to say it was worth the wait. We chose Soho for its central location, its large number of pubs, and its easy-to-define boundaries (see below). We invited a large group of friends through Faceboard, and we met at the Crown and Two Chairman, a favourite pub amongst our group of friends. Dottie was so excited about the game that she had found and printed out lists of Soho’s 48 pubs. And so it seemed appropriate that fate would select her to be our first Giant Chicken.
She disappeared down the street in heels and a chicken costume and soon sent an infuriating photo of a bottle of champagne in a bucket of ice…and off we went.
It’s not bad to group teams according to how aggressively they want to drink.
If you have a friend that tends to get belligerent when drunk, don’t let them order things at the bar.
Keep in mind that most chicken suits don’t have pockets.
It’s difficult to pee whilst wearing the suit. That’s just tough luck for the chicken. | 2019-04-19T11:09:52 | http://www.onegiantchicken.com/ | [

Valuka in Simderland: Особняк "Серебряный век"/ Mansion "Silver Age"
Особняк "Серебряный век"/ Mansion "Silver Age"
Только EA, за исключением одного паттерна из Store, который идеально подошел для ковра, все остальное игровое./ Only EA game content, axcept for one pattern from the Store, which I used to the carpet.
I'd like to know why I'm having to give a social login to 4shared to download this item the "regular" way. The point of "regular" downloading, which takes longer, is NOT downloading instantly. 4shared used to be decent but I quit downloading anything from them when it became so difficult to do so. WAY too many ads and now this new piece of garbage. Pretty lot but I won't be downloading it from 4shared. | 2019-04-22T22:40:00 | http://simderland.blogspot.com/2011/05/maison-silver-age.html | [

The Las Vegas real estate market got a small reprieve in February; with sales volume at a four-year high for the month and a dip in foreclosure resales helping prices increase slightly from January. A total of 3,698 new and existing houses and condos were sold in the Las Vegas-Paradise metro area in February, according to MDA DataQuick. That’s up 9.8% from January and 10.5% from one year ago. A 5.7% increase from January to February is the average, dating back to 1994, DataQuick said. The February 2010 total was the highest for the month since 2006, when 6,065 homes were sold, but 2% below the 16-year average February sales total. It’s the 18th straight month that total sales rose year-over-year. Existing home sales totaled 3,311, up 7.1% from January and up 9.5% from last year. It’s the highest total for February existing sales since 2005. Existing home sales are on a 22-month-long run of monthly year-over-year increases. Foreclosure resales accounted for 59.6% of all resales in February, down from 62% in January and down from 70.6% last year. After peaking in April 2009 at 73.7%, foreclosure resales have declined every month. While foreclosure resales were down, foreclosure proceedings were up. In February, 1,756 homes and condos were foreclosed on in Las Vegas, up 5.3% from January, but down 52.8% from 3,718 foreclosures last year. New home sales totaled 387 in February, up 40% from January and up 20.2% from last year, but it was one of the slowest February sales totals in DataQuick’s 16 years of records, second only to last year. The decline in foreclosure resales and the increase in new home sales helped the median price increase from January, but only slightly. The median price paid for all new and resale houses and condos sold in the Las Vegas metro area in February was $126,197, up 0.4% from $125,750 in January but down 17.2% from $152,500 a year earlier. DataQuick said the year-over-year decline was the smallest since March 2008, when the median dropped 16% from a year earlier, to $247,925. In addition, sales of homes over $200,000 made up 22.4% of total sales, up from 21.3% in January but down from 30.8% a year earlier. The median sales price is on a 34-month-long run of monthly year-over-year declines and in February 2010, was 59.6% below the peak median of $312,000 in November 2006. The median price for single-family homes was $133,800 in February, down from $135,000 in January and down from $157,000 last year. The median condo sales price was $69,000, even from January, but down 9.2% from $76,000 last year. Nearly half — 49.8% — of borrowers that used mortgages to fund home purchases used government-backed Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans. Cash buyers accounted for 51.5% of all February sales, up from 50.4% in January. DataQuick defines cash borrowers as those purchases where there was no indication of a purchase mortgage recorded at the time of sale, but can include those that used alternative financing arrangements and in some cases borrowers might be taking out mortgages after their purchases. Absentee buyers, usually investors, but anyone who indicates at the time of sale that the property tax bill will go to a different address, accounted for 44.6% of all Las Vegas area home sales. However, house flipping declined. Homes sold in February that had previously sold in the past three weeks to six months accounted for 3.7% of all sales, down from 5% in January, but up from 2.6% last year.

North Americans are known for living some of the busiest lives in the world. Few other people (if any) have as many competing demands on their time than we do. A few years ago I became aware of how obsessed everyone was with being busy.
“How are things?” I would inquire.
“Oh, you know, super busy.” came the reply.
The way they would say it was one part complaint, three parts badge of honour. It was as though they wanted to signal that they too, were “busy.” Very, very busy.
After going through a very stressful time in my life, I began a journey to live a radically less stressful existence. This meant many things, including stopping the instinct to be busy. I was shocked at how hard my brain tried to keep pushing me back to my old ways. The ways of my culture. Breathless, constant busyness was portrayed at almost every turn. Whether it is the corporate ladder climbing heroine in a movie, the businessman in a magazine ad or whatever, we have absorbed a view of success that demands 24/7 scheduling of our time.
If we have a unifying religion in the West, it is Busyness. Interestingly, our brains and bodies seem to be suffering. Stress-initiated illnesses such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Anxiety/Depressive Disorders and Chronic Fatigue are sky rocketing. We are officially pushing ourselves beyond what we were designed to endure.
Some times in our lives are unavoidably busy. As the owner and operator of a busy clinic, a serving member of my church and married father of FOUR kids under 14 I am a busy man. We also do quite a bit of traveling throughout the year.
How did I pull this off? Allow me to explain. Research has shown that being active is healthy, but being negatively stressed is not. A few years ago, TED speaker and researcher Kelly McGonigal unveiled new research showing how our interpretation of our busyness can make the stress good or bad. Her evidence essentially showed that if we are overloaded by things we despise or dread, our bodies suffer. But exhaustion coming from activities we enjoy have seemingly positive effects on us.
1. Know Your Have-To’s and Make Them Fun: All of us have to do certain things. Work, cook, commute, etc. If you are lucky enough to do what you love, this won’t be hard. If you work a less than ideal job, well, make it fun. If prisoners in Auschwitz were able to find the good in their lives, you can to. This may take some time, but figure it out. No excuses. Your commutes can be times to plug into a podcast or other enjoyable audio experiences. Be hands-free on the phone with a loved one while cleaning/cooking.
2. Know Your Strengths and Grow Them: All of us have a unique contribution to make to this world and our generation. All of us. As a Christian, I believe very strongly that we bring something to the table of humanity that no one else in history could. If you are not engaged regularly in your passion, you will suffer. Just Do It.
3. Balance Your “3 Passions”: I recently discovered a wonderful piece of advice: “Have 3 passions in your life. One that makes you money. One that keeps you healthy. One that let’s you be creative.” Find those and work them into your life. Take up jiu jitsu or biking. Get into it. Do it. Start drawing. Playing the piano. Blogging. Expand your mind and influence.
4. Embrace Doing Nothing: If you wake up on a Saturday and immediately feel the urge to “do something,” you are caught in the Cult of Busyness. Your body and brain are accustomed to always trying to do something. Make money, clean the house, prepare for some future disaster, etc. The survival instinct is in overdrive in most North American minds. Interestingly, it has been proven that being overly busy destroys productivity. For me, the Art of Nothing comes in 2 forms.
ONE, several times a day, even in busy clinic times, I take a 3 to 5 minute break. Either I close the curtain on a treatment table and nap or I watch a funny video on youtube. Just a smidgeon of “nothingness” to alleviate my body and soul. Just living, breathing, existing, being.
TWO, for at least a full day each week, I do “nothing.” I can’t necessarily lay there all day because I have 4 children and a wife. But, I don’t do anything on impulse of “I have to.” I will lay in bed as long as I can before I get up. I only do the bare minimum of “have to’s.” I will chose the activities that I want to do, none that I don’t. I will not push the kids to be “doing something.” I will fight my brain’s push to get me to “BE PRODUCTIVE.” No. I don’t want to produce. I want to just exist.
Medical marijuana is a hot topic nowadays. Justin Trudeau’s Liberal party is playing peekaboo with the possibility of legalizing marijuana and certainly helping grow the number of “medical” marijuana dispensaries throughout the country.
One look at social media and google and you get thousands of messages about the miracle healing capacity of Cannabis Sativa. It appears there is nothing a little pot won’t cure. Claims range from pain relief to cancer prevention. Remarkable!
My question is, are these claims true? Or are they a good dose of wishful thinking to help make the bitter pill of legalizing drugs taste better?
First, you have to realize that less than 7% of all studies done on marijuana are researching its medicinal purposes. This is probably due to the fact that most marijuana research is funded by government agencies and these tend to relate to drugs in a negative sense. Government has a vested interest in understanding the negative effects of drugs in order to treat addicts and form drug use prevention methods. Pro marijuana advocates will say that the big pharmaceutical companies and the government are both invested in the continued ban of legal marijuana and so will continue to only look in the negative direction and downplay positive research.
In part, I would agree that a large amount of research done by medical schools and even universities are funded by drug companies. And these companies have much less interest in finding natural cures than they do in validating synthetic drugs as the core of health care. Furthermore, there are a growing number of areas in which our culture is becoming aware of the plethora of natural cures available that Big Pharma drugs are not able to out-perform. Natural alternatives to anxiety, depression, blood pressure issues, pain management, etc are emerging as we better understand nutrition, exercise and cognitive behavioural therapy as well as other natural remedies. And if you delve into the realm of anecdotal evidence (both in your circle of friends and online) you will run into some convincing cases in which a marijuana compound was found more effective than a pharmaceutical alternative. I have not problems with the notion of finding natural alternatives to health issues, even in the Cannabis Sativa plant.
But how confident can we be that marijuana has very strong medical benefits? And are there any side effects worth knowing about?
For thousands of years mankind has used both Cannabis Sativa and the poppy seed for its felt effects. In regards to poppy seeds, they have long been known to help induce sleep. Likewise, cannabis has been known for the intoxicating effects of its most famous cannibinoid compound: THC. For at least the past 5,000 years, humans have known how to extract opium from poppy seeds. And since 1804, we have known how to extract morphine from the poppy seed as well. To this day, morphine continues to be our most potent pain killer. And it is a completely natural extract. My point? Poppy seeds have a very specific medical use that works universally: pain killing. No one can doubt or disprove this. There is no need to hunt through conflicting anecdotal and peer reviewed accounts to see what (if any) are the medically useful aspects of poppy seeds. In contrast, even though we have been experimenting with cannabis for as long as we have been with poppy seeds, we know of only two universal effects that come from marijuana: intoxication and appetite stimulation.
Since at least the 1980’s, hospitals have been giving synthetic THC to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy because of its remarkable ability to stimulate appetite even in extreme circumstances. But the effectiveness of marijuana for the entire host of claims made online remain tenable and less than solidly proven. There are hundreds of cannabinoid compounds in marijuana, THC is only one of them (and the only real psychoactive one). Cannabidiol is another of these and it has little to no intoxicating effects, making it less controversial. Cannabidiol has been touted mainly as an anti-psychotic and anti-convulsant. Yet its effects are nowhere near universally true (in contrast to morphine) or even very repeatable. Some studies have shown some value in cannabidiol for sleep inducement as well as pain killing and muscle relaxants for Multiple Sclerosis and epileptic patients. But the strength of the evidence is not overwhelming at this point. More time is needed because studies have gone in both directions. Cannabis simply does not have a singular, universal medical value that can be proved conclusively.
As for THC, it does indeed decrease fluid pressure inside the eyes and so will relieve glaucoma symptoms. But the effects only last a short while and because THC is psychoactive, intoxication co-exists with the effects, making it unlikely to be safe or helpful for people who have to go to work with their glaucoma medication. To be under the effects of THC all day is not a recommended lifestyle. Especially when safe, non-intoxicating and long lasting drugs do exist for glaucoma sufferers. THC also dilates the small airways in the lungs, bringing relief to those with asthma, COPD and other chronic lung conditions. Again, this effect is short lived and comes with intoxication and alternative exist in both the natural and pharmaceutical realms.
All in all, the effects of marijuana on a variety of medical conditions is not cut and dry. Even when positive studies are found, they are not very strong and often you will find other studies that failed to replicate the findings. However, if an individual is finding success with a cannabinoid compound, I am not against its use. I support the right for doctors to oversee and prescribe a variety of cannabinoids (often with little to no THC) in the few cases in which better alternatives do not seem to exist. I don’t see, however, how wholesale legalization has to come hand in hand with the few cases in which genuine medical marijuana usage can be rationalized. It is also curious that it is mainly the psychoactive THC that gets most of the attention from medical marijuana activists. Could it be because it is marijuana’s main intoxicant? And that rationalizing its use would excuse chronic intoxication? Maybe. Just maybe.
Before closing this brief article, I have to speak about the negative side effects of THC and marijuana.Since the 1980’s, the percentage – by weight – of marijuana that is THC has arisen in the United States from an average 3% to approximately 12%. This has not occurred naturally but is the result of synthetically manipulating the strains. Much the same way men have bred animals and plants over the centuries. Obviously, the main drive for increasing THC concentration is to maximize intoxication in chronic users who are now desensitized to former dosages. This phenomenon occurs with all artificial intoxicants. And the 12% figure is an average in the U.S., not worldwide. Some strains have been found to be as high as 35% THC by weight. A staggering dosage that is not in the least naturally occurring.
With the rise of THC percentages in recreational marijuana we have seen a rise in the ill effects of this drug. The most susceptible — as is always the case — are youths. Studies in both the U.S.1 and Canada2 have shown — with functional MRI’s, blood work, psychological evaluations, brain mapping and sociological research — that a developing brain exposed to marijuana use well before the age of 17 is at risk of cognitive, mood and behavioural disorders. Further, the higher the usage, the lower the youth’s chances are of attaining financial health and independence in adult life. Chronic early use is needed to truly trigger serious disorders but the risks are still ominous. Considering the growing push to render marijuana use socially acceptable combined with the sharp rise in THC concentrations it should be no wonder that health care facilities are reporting more and more issues with adolescent and young adult marijuana use.
Proponents of marijuana legalization will say that alcohol is also a drug and that it causes more carnage in our culture than marijuana. Both claims are true. However, alcohol use is much, much higher than marijuana use. Partly because it is legal and mostly because it is culturally acceptable. If marijuana use reached the same levels of use in North America the societal ills caused by this drug would not diminish, they would only grow exponentially. Unleashing another negative substance on our youth and culture is not an improvement by any means. I cannot comprehend this version of the pro-legalization argument.
Remember that alcohol can be used in moderation. A glass or two of wine can even be beneficial in every way to your health with zero side effects. It is much harder to use marijuana without intoxication or side effects unless you strip it of its psychoactive compounds (which I do not see any medical marijuana dispensaries doing as this would most likely curb sales downward). And before singing the praises of local dispensaries, realize that a Journal of American Medical Association study, John Hopkins Medicine study as well as a Globe and Mail investigation found that the labels on pot products from such stores were grossly inaccurate. Shedding a poor light on the ability of such outlets to regulate the quality and safety of their drugs. Considering the negative side effects of THC and the shakily established “medicinal” value of Cannabis Sativa, pushing for nation-wide legalized marijuana on every street corner – a la neighbourhood liquor store — seems to be a thinly veiled attempt at plainly and simply legalizing an intoxicant for the pleasurable effects it produces. Arguments can be made as to the economic consequences of legalizing pot, yet this is a different argument than the medicinal one.
Be wise. Be prudent. Be informed.
The Olympics are over and the new school year is around the corner. I don’t know about you, but watching world class athletes run, jump and swim at peak performance inspires me.
I love goal setting. Yet in the past, I set too many goals with too many deadlines. I started on a lot of journeys that did not end where they were supposed to. So I refined my goal setting methods.
One thing I tossed out was the big deadline. This is that “etched into stone” date at which you want something completed. I see this as the biggest motivation killer. What happens if you get sick? Or injured? Or have a family or personal crisis? Have a goal in mind for your journey, but do not add a set date.
Instead, make a weekly routine up that is broken down into daily tasks. Make them reasonable. For example, if your goal is to increase hip flexibility and the amount of weight you can squat, start small.
MONDAY: squat with same weight you have been using but add 3 reps. Stretch for 12 minutes instead of 10.
Then, every time you squat, add either 1 rep, or 2.5 lbs per side (5 overall). Usually do both, back and forth. If you hit the wall, don’t add anything for two or more weeks, just keep squatting without going backwards on your reps or weight. Slowly add 30 seconds here and there to your stretching.
Off you go on a slow but risk-free and fully realistic journey towards constant improvement.
People often over shoot their goal setting and force unrealistic changes onto their lives. Life does not work this way. Change has to be gradual but constant. So slowing down the demands actually increases the speed of results. If you are driving a car and you want to make a 90 degree turn, you cannot go immediately to a 90 degree without turning the wheels 1, 2, 3… 10… 25… 75 degrees and so on. Life is about increments, not instantaneous results.
If you can introduce a slow, flexible, daily routine towards improved performance, you will successfully change your long term life style towards your goals. Whether they be financial, relational or health oriented.
Dream big, act small. Get there!
Over-training is a phenomenon that is becoming better understood. Many enthusiastic athletes forget to listen to their body as they pursue excellence. But this will serve to decrease performance in the long run, not improve it. Many fitness participants follow gruelling schedules and push themselves hard. If you are in the category of people who train regularly you will want to realize when over training begins to set in and you’ll also want to adopt a “smart rest” program as part of your training.
If you have 4 or more of the above (especially the resting heart rate), you qualify as being over-trained. It’s high time to take some time off. A solid 3 weeks of no exercise followed by one or two weeks of very low intensity, part time exercise will do you much good. Then head into a 2 week period of moderate exercise and then finally, take another full week off.
Be warned, if you are drastically over trained however, it could take several weeks — even a few months — to recuperate. Which is why you want to listen for the beginning signs of over training and not the drastic symptoms.
If you are not over trained (have less than 4 — or none — of the above symptoms) you will want to incorporate “smart rest” techniques to ensure you never get over trained.
Very simply put, smart rest is pro-active breaks in your training that allows your body to recuperate before you ever go near the over training zone. As we train hard, week in and week out, our multiple body systems can start to fall behind in recovery. This can be our nervous system, our psychological state, our immune system or our musculoskeletal system. Depending on what other stresses are going on in our lives and how well nourished we are, any one of those systems can start lagging behind and cause over training to set in. By pro-actively resting before anything falls far behind, we are protecting ourselves from over training.
How Do I Implement Smart Rest?
Once every 6 to 10 weeks (you decide by listening in on how your body and mind are feeling), take an entire week off training. During this time, you can go for walks, but no exercise. None. You will want to push the fluids more than usual during your week of rest and you will want to stay away from alcohol and high sugar foods. Nutrition, hydration and rest are the antidotes to over training. Make sure you are going to bed early and on time during this week of rest.
Not only will smart rest prevent over training but it keeps your body and mind working at their peek. This will prevent mental burnout as well as injury. Remember, you are not to wait until you are starting to over train to implement smart rest, you are supposed to inject one full week of rest once every 6 to 10 weeks regardless of how well you feel. This is what maintenance looks like. You are building a fence at the top of the hill instead of having an ambulance at the bottom.
Try it out and see for yourself the benefits of smart rest!
Athletes pay big bucks to go into hyperbaric oxygen tanks and essentially give their bodies oxygen baths. With the increase in atmospheric pressure and a pure injection of oxygen, the body’s tissues (muscles, organs, nervous system) get a hyper-dose of O2 which increases the rate and depth of healing and repair. In fact, stroke victims are being placed through a series of hyperbaric oxygen tank treatments to create an increase in healing of the affected brain areas. As great as this is, many folks cannot afford regular hyperbaric treatments. Luckily, there is a natural alternative.
Although not as intensive as hyperbaric treatments, this natural hyper-oxygenation method is risk-free and can be done anywhere, any time. It is simply the art of concentrated deep breathing. Essentially it consists of reaching a state of near hyper ventilation by repetitive deep breathing for a prolonged period of time.
Studies have shown that deep breathing not only gives an increased dose of oxygen to the brain and body tissues, but it ignites the body’s “relaxation response.” This response is mediated by the parasympathetic nervous system and does the opposite of the stress response (controlled by our sympathetic system). Stress tends to constrict capillaries and shorten our breaths, resulting in hypo-ventilation. So it may be time to incorporate deep breathing to not only enrich your brain, but relax it as well.
As you get comfortable deep breathing, you can adjust it to your liking. Some people like taking 5 or more seconds to inhale. There is no right or wrong, as long as you follow the basic guidelines above.
Personally, I enjoy deep breathing outdoors as the air is much more fresh. Don’t be surprised if you feel the tips of your fingers or toes tingling once you’ve completed several breathes, this is one side effect to hyper oxygenation. If you are light headed or nauseous, you may want to pause momentarily.
Regular deep breathing is beneficial for anyone. It helps counter stress. It helps athletes decrease recovery time. It is not as popular as regular exercise and good nutrition, but it is a highly recommended health habit.
Reading can make your brain more fit. Researchers at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia used functional MRI’s to see how reading affects brains. They found that engaging in a good book will fire up not only the language centres of the brain but the sensory areas as well. And it will stay activated as an “afterburn” for up to a day or more afterwards. Sensory activation was an unexpected outcome and the conclusion was that the imagination mimics what the brain is reading. So if you’re reading a high action adventure, your brain “feels” what the character is doing and you are vicariously living through the book.
Research conducted in 2009 at Mindlab International at the University of Sussex showed that reading relaxes the body and brain faster than listening to soothing music. Other research has pointed to reading as one of the key activities that can help stave off Alzheimer’s and senile dementia.
A common phenomenon in our culture is to gather our information from audio/visual mediums. In an age of the internet and massive repositories of videos (e.g.: Youtube) people are reading less and less. Screen time is replacing study time.
Unfortunately, passively gathering information from audio/visual sources does not work the brain as well. In fact, it places it in a state that is less active than sleep. It is essentially a brain-numbing activity.
Furthermore, research is showing that screen time in bed works against good sleep. Staring into a light source actually tricks the body’s circadian rhythm into believing it’s time to wake up, so your brain is being woken up just when you should be winding it down. Reading at bedtime will expose your true fatigue and will put you to sleep at the appropriate time and will not disturb your sleep.
Reading also is known to stimulate creativity and memory skills. Not to mention getting all the overall cognitive improvements that result when you regularly give your brain a workout.
Whether you love fiction or non-fiction (or both) adding a good 15 to 30 minutes of reading into your day can have a powerful impact on your mental health.
One of the hallmarks of childhood is how much darn fun we have. Unfortunately, many of us lose this capacity as we grow into adulthood. Although some things are childish and should not follow us into later life, some things kids do are pretty darn smart. Laughing a lot is one of them.
You don’t need to laugh all day. Try taking time 4 or 5 times a day to see, read or think of something funny. This builds up and probably gives you 15 to 20 minutes of solid laughter each day.
If stress has built up beyond a certain point, you may find it hard to relax and have fun. Fortunately, this can be worked at (like anything else). Make time in your day when you do things you enjoy (or used to enjoy). Regardless of whether or not you get a huge kick out of these, just practice doing something other than work and worry.
Watch light hearted comedies. Mr. Bean episodes or Just For Laugh Gags are great starts.
Stay away from the 24-hour News Cycle. It only reports on the most horrid atrocities and with the most stressful angle. News websites and channels are taping into your stress centers and getting you hooked on bad vibes. Take one or two months off the news. Seriously, try it!
Read more and read light hearted books. Sometimes reading classic children’s literature is the best antidote to being too “grown up.” There is much wisdom in classic books.
Work at thinking positively, hanging out with people more and maybe engage in activities that make you laugh (charades, goofy party games, etc).
It’s never too late to rediscover the healthier things in life. Relationships, fun, laughter and good vibes. Our world is made up of both good and bad events. Whichever you focus on the most will predominate your life.
If you are a human living on earth, chances are you have a social media account. Whether it be facebook, twitter, pinterest or any of the hundreds of options available, people are “connecting” through this digital medium.
Therefore, with so much “connecting” going on we should all be very happy and loneliness should be on its way to extinction, right?..
The data has come in and it appears our social ills have only been increased due to compulsive internet use, including social media. An article from the CyberPsychology & Behaviour magazine by PhD psychologists Kim, LaRose and Peng showed that those turning to the internet to fill a social and emtional void were only further disconnected from true human relationship.
For many of us who were born in the early 80’s or earlier, a world without social media is easy to imagine. A time when contact was real and organic. In contrast, modern concepts of human connectedness are — for the first time in human history — composed almost as much by digital “relationships” as they are by real human contact.
Combine this trend with the affordable nature of mobile devices and the near omnipresence of Wi Fi connections and you can see how we have been transformed into homo sapien digitalis. When I go to the grocery store or to the bank, I hardly ever see anyone stuck in line that will turn and start conversing. They used to. Nowadays, most everyone is looking down at a mobile device if they are at a bus stop, in a line up or even at the park while their kids are playing. I’ve even seen a couple at a restaurant texting away and ignoring each other!
After more than a decade of heavy social media use, it appears that we’ve come full circle and must realize that there is no replacing true human contact. The superficial nature of online relationships are millions of miles removed from the real touch of actual human social connection. Soul to soul. Not IP address to IP address.
Third world countries who live with much less technology have lower rates of anxiety and depression. Although there are many reasons for this statistics, one thing is certain: they are forced to live more authentically then most Westerners because they deal with people all day, not avatars and internet trolls. The average third world resident’s day includes human contact that is comprised of actual human relationship and has nearly zero time spent in cyber-relationships.
I’m not advocated the annihilation of social media, but a much more restricted use of it.
A University of Waterloo self-administered test can be used to evaluate whether or not your are spending too much time “connecting” through your computer or mobile device. Although determining this will be more of an art than a science.
Perhaps another way to gauge your social media usage is to ask yourself how many of your social media usage is for business or for pleasure. It is inevitable to be hooked into online business connections. It is the new phone book. But it may be unhealthy to use it too much for personal emotional voids. I’ve recently asked myself how many of my “friends” on social media would actually take time to help me physically if I had an urgent need such as moving or renovating my house hold. The list is probably MUCH smaller than the hundreds of names on my facebook friends’ list. Just food for thought.
I work in an exercise rehabilitation clinic and prescribe hundreds of different types of exercises.
Yet I am surprised at how few adults in our society continue to play their favourite sport once they hit their 30’s and beyond. Usually, once the demands of family and work set in, they turn to mechanical treadmill and dumbbell routines. Fitness has officially become a “must do” and not a “I wanna do!” This is highly unfortunate and in the long term promotes increasing sedentary lifestyles.
One simple alternative is to play a sport as part of your fitness approach. There is far less routine in an individual or team sport than in a repetitive gym routine. Further, sports tend to use the body in a safer and more natural manner than many exercise machines and heavy weight workouts do. And they almost inevitably work the core muscles much more than most people’s weight lifting or cardio routine.
Everyone who already plays a sport should add sport-specific exercises to improve their performance.
That’s what the pros do. Yet most people who are not professional athletes usually do not see playing sports as a legitimate means of getting or staying fit.
there are no “all out” avenues for them in their beloved sport. Thankfully, this is is false.
With a 5 minute phone call to your local rec centre or YMCA, you will be shocked at how much friendly competition is available for the average joe.
I feel that because competition is missing from many individuals’ fitness lifestyle so is the natural motivation to do better and better. If you are willing to compete at something, the psychological and physical rewards increase tremendously. And please don’t get me wrong. I know how life can get crazy busy. You don’t have to join a league that comes with fees and a tight practice schedule, etc, etc.
But you can join rec leagues that allow you to jump in and compete any time you are free.
My wife and I are raising and homeschooling 4 young children. I have my own practice and am involved at church. Yet 4 times per week my wife attends the YMCA and does a lot of TRX group classes. This group factor is an indirect but real form of competition. It is as much competition as she wants and so she thrives on it. It pushes her harder than solo workouts.
I have fallen in love with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I train under Adam Zugec at ZUMA. Whenever I show up I have the opportunity of getting friendly competition. The competitive element keeps my mind focused, gets me off my worries and I workout harder than I otherwise would without even noticing it!
Whether it is swimming, racquet ball, tennis, hockey or a running group, the social and physical benefits of a group or competitive environment is available for the non-professional athletes. I highly recommend it.
A recent study by the Edinburgh University showed that people over 70 who walked during the week had less brain shrinkage then those who were sedentary. Researchers followed nearly 700 people for 3 years, performing before-and-after brain MRI’s to determine their findings.
The study also claimed that reading books or doing crossword puzzles does not seem to help as much as regular, non-strenuous exercise.
Seniors who walked during the week had less damage to the inner part of the brain (i.e.: the white matter) and they had more outer brain (i.e.: gray matter).
So it appears you can increase your brain size with even a mild form of regular exercise.
A Harvard Medical School article stated that a review of literature on depression examined evidence going back to 1981 and concluded that in younger and older patients with depression, regular walking was an effective treatment for emotional problems.
It appears something even as simple as daily walks can significantly enhance mental and emotional well being.
If you are simply starting out with an exercise program, walking 3 to 5 days per week is enough to see a boost in your brain’s health.
As time goes on, a good idea is to diversify your activities. Joining a local recreation centre offers access to swimming, weight lifting and other fitness activities. This keeps you interested and it keeps your brain and body adapting to new acitivities. Which increases the degree to which your brain grows and benefits from an active lifestyle.
So you see, it’s easy to make your brain healthy and stave off unwanted ailments!
Get out there and enjoy a nice walk today. | 2019-04-19T09:32:04 | http://www.drparenteau.com/category/mental-health/ | [

Jesse Winker will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. He was batting .299 this year with 7 homers and 43 RBI.
Throughout the last couple of seasons, Jesse Winker dealt with pain his right shoulder.
The Reds placed Winker on the 10-day disabled list Thursday with a right shoulder subluxation.
"Man, I have no idea it is," said Winker. "I know my shoulder hurts. That’s all I know."
Winker said the pain was "off and on" all season but Monday was essentially the final straw.
On first base during a comeback win over the St. Louis Cardinals, Winker ducked under a line-drive single from Tucker Barnhart in the ninth inning and fell to the ground on the base paths. Winker later scored the game-winning run.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, Winker was emotional about the end of his season.
"Obviously, I was hoping that surgery wasn’t the end result but I’ve been dealing with this for 2-3 years," Winker said. "Just got to the point now where it’s time to go fix it."
It's a tough loss for the Reds' lineup, which was already without outfielder Scott Schebler. On the DL, Schebler began a rehab assignment Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a walk as a designated hitter at Triple-A Louisville.
Winker, based on what he's been told from doctors, said his goal is to return by Feb. 1, 2019. He said he felt the pain when he completed "any baseball move."
"There were times where it affected his swing," Reds interim manager Jim Riggleman said. "He altered his swing path because of the pain. That’s a tough way to play at the Major League level. He did a heck of a job. I don’t think anybody realized that he was going through it as much as he was."
Mason Williams, an outfielder at Louisville, was called up to fill Winker’s roster spot. Williams played in 25 games with the New York Yankees over the past three seasons.
A left-handed hitter, Williams signed with the Reds as a minor league free agent last offseason.
Williams was batting .280 with six homers and 30 RBI in 87 games at Louisville. He recorded a hit in 13 of his last 14 games.
"It’s been a matter of me being healthy and staying on the field and playing my game and just having confidence in myself," Williams said.
Williams, once considered the Yankees' top prospect, learned of his promotion to the big leagues Thursday morning.
He played on the same high school team in Florida as Cardinals pitcher Austin Gomber, who had a no-hitter against the Reds for six innings Tuesday. The two players will sometimes train together in the offseason.
To make room on the 40-man roster for Williams, the Reds moved injured infielder Alex Blandino (torn ACL in his right knee) to the 60-day DL.
"He’s had productive at-bats, competitive at-bats, against both left-and-right-handed pitching," Riggleman said of Williams. "He’s a good athlete. We’re confident he will come up here and do a good job."
SCHEBLER STILL PROGRESSING: Schebler was in Louisville's lineup as a designated hitter for his second rehab game Thursday.
But the key to his return will be when he's comfortable making throws. | 2019-04-19T02:22:45 | https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/mlb/reds/2018/07/26/jesse-winker-placed-disabled-list-right-shoulder-injury-mason-williams-cincinnati-reds-outfield-dl/843494002/ | [

1741 words - 7 pages , one can hope that sometime in the future there will only be non-smokers. Smoking only proves to lead to an early grave for smokers and non-smokers alike.

Summer is the time that many of us have a lot more free time than we usually do, and this is a great thing! This means that you have time to do all of the fun things that you can’t seem to make room for when you’re always working or studying.
Perhaps you already have a bucket list in your mind, or you have no idea where to start. It doesn’t matter because after reading this you will know exactly what you still want to do this summer. So let’s get to the fun part of this blog!
If you always buy the same kind of clothes and you’ve been rocking the same old hairstyle for three years then it is time to try something different.
Not only will all of this be a lot of fun, you may also develop a new style that you are totally in love with.
Festival season is happening right now, and why wouldn’t you want to participate? It doesn’t matter if you visit three festivals all-weekend or one free festival for a day, as long as you have fun. Festivals are a great way to enjoy music, the good weather and playing dress-up with all that fringe and glitter. I know that I always love visiting a festival.
Yes, this is a generic tip, which is why you can choose to do what this tip what you want. You can take some cooking lessons and impress your upcoming dates, you can learn how to write an amazing novel or you could even follow a workshop in Burlesque!
Fulfil your craziest dreams and learn something that you always wanted to be able to do, or know. Now is your time to develop yourself.
Of course, it’s important that you’re safe when doing this, so don’t drink too much and make sure someone knows where you are at all times.
If you’ve got that figured out then it can be incredibly exciting, but also a little scary, to go out by yourself. If you’re the kind of girl who likes a hook-up now and then, then you’ll love all the attention that you get as a girl in a club or bar all by yourself. Or perhaps you don’t like it at all, you can always go home, it’s definitely something to experience.
Nothing screams summer like a good ol’ BBQ, so I had to include it in this list. You can keep it simple, or you can go all out for once. Get the best meat from an actual butcher and search the internet for some delicious salad recipes.
If you want to upgrade your BBQ party even further then you can make sure that you have some kind of pool in your garden, whether that is a deep built-in pool or small inflatable pool.
I don’t know about you, but I usually feel guilty when I watch too much Netflix while I should actually be doing work, so a marathon is just not going to work. Summer is a completely different time though, a lot more time mostly. This is the perfect period for that all-day Netflix marathon where you don’t even get dressed and eat a lot of take-out food. You are allowed to treat yourself now and then.
Even if you stayed in all summer watching movies and eating ice cream, your followers are allowed to think that you went on all these crazy adventures. So take one day, put together a lot of outfits, gather your girlfriends, and travel all across town to take some of your best pictures. You will have a lot of fun and enough Instagram photo’s for the coming months.
Don’t forget to share this post if you liked it and follow me on my social media to always be updated and see much more of my work! | 2019-04-25T11:51:02 | https://amberyourassistant.com/2018/07/17/the-ultimate-summer-bucketlist-for-young-and-free-women/ | [

The Philippines loses about 220 billion pesos annually due to high prevalence of undernutrition among children. This was highlighted at the launch of two costing studies today that call on the government for better public investment and policy reform to improve children’s nutrition and avert the country from economic loss.
The Department of Health (DOH) and the National Nutrition Council (NNC), along with the Philippine Legislators’ Committee on Population and Development (PLCPD) and UNICEF launched the Economic Consequences of Undernutrition in the Philippines and the 2017 Global Nutrition Report at the House of Representatives. The two studies carry empirical and scientific evidence that are aimed to guide legislators in prioritizing investments for nutrition through the national budgeting processes.
“This situation cannot remain unchanged. Strategic investments and policies are needed if the country is serious about development. We must continuously work in the government to ensure sufficient and sustainable allocations for nutrition programs and policies; and never hesitate in investing in the health and nutrition of our country’s future: the children,” said Rep. Jocelyn Limkaichong, Vice Chairperson of the Committee on Ways and Means and member of the Committee on Appropriations.
The costing study on undernutrition reveals that the Philippines loses approximately 220 billion pesos per year due to the effects of undernutrition such as stunting, anemia, and iodine deficiency. This is equivalent to 1.5% of the Philippine GDP in 2015. This can be countered by investments in nutrition, which return around 12 dollars in foregone earnings or health expenditures due to undernutrition for every dollar spent in targeted nutrition interventions.
“Malnutrition robs our children of their foundational health and fundamental right to survive, thrive and reach their full potential. If not addressed immediately, these children will remain as outliers in society, with poor performance in school and low productivity as adults in the future. Thus, if not mitigated, this situation perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Only healthy children can have the chance to succeed in life,” said UNICEF Philippines Representative Lotta Sylwander.
Meanwhile, the 2017 Global Nutrition Report highlights the interrelatedness of nutrition with 12 out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This means eradicating malnutrition will contribute significantly to the overall development of the country.
“The Philippines is already considered a trailblazer on nutrition policies in the international community. But we have much work to do since the situation of undernutrition among children is worsening: the Philippines is still one of the nine countries in the world with most cases of stunting, or too short for age, and wasting, or too thin for height, among children. So we encourage everyone to join us in the Scaling Up Nutrition or SUN movement of the Philippines,” said DOH Assistant Secretary Bernie Flores.
“Mainstreaming nutrition in the development agenda is one of the best approaches that government can adopt to accelerate economic and social progress and at the same time fulfilling the people’s right to a happy and healthy life. This is the reason why we in the civil society will never tire in pushing this government to consider all strategies that put people at the center when designing its development agenda. A stronger political will can transform our goals into sustainable action. Together, let us hold one another accountable for our commitments and make sure that our actions will lead to concrete improvements in the nutrition situation of our country,” said Mr. Romeo Dongeto, PLCPD Executive Director as he closed the launch.
Representatives from Congress including Teddy Baguilat, Bernadette Herrera-Dy, Jocelyn Limkaichong and Anna Villaraza-Suarez, as well as executive agencies represented by Undersecretary Luzviminda Ilagan of the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Assistant Cabinet Secretary Evelyn Dela Cruz Cruzada, Assistant Secretary Bernardita Flores of NNC, and Assistant Secretary Ernesto Perez of Department of Trade and Industry signified their support to sustain and scale up investments in nutrition. | 2019-04-19T10:58:09 | https://www.plcpd.org.ph/philippines-losing-p220bn-every-year-as-a-result-of-child-malnutrition-costing-study-calls-on-government-for-strategic-investment-and-policies/ | [

This photo was sent in by Marc Delport. We don't have much to say about this particular urination station, but we wanted to post it anyway to show that we do not discriminate against urinals. We only pee against them. Ha.
Hopefully there will be more interesting ones in the future.
Hope you enjoyed this brief post. The team cannot spend any more time on this one. There are some new Arrested Development episodes we have to go watch instead. | 2019-04-21T17:05:22 | http://thetoiletsoftheworld.blogspot.com/2013/06/somewhere-koulikoro-region-mali.html | [

‘Women human rights defenders have flooded the streets, the airwaves, and the internet with their energy and their testimonials, bringing to light truths that are too often buried in darkness’ said a group of UN experts, recognising the important leadership role of women activists.
Marking the 20th anniversary of the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, UN experts issued a public statement expressly recognizing the work and challenges of women human rights defenders.
Independent experts working on the elimination of discrimination against women in law and practice, on violence against women, on protecting human rights defenders and on ending extrajudicial killings made a joint call with the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
ensure due diligence of Statesin protecting women human rights defenders that are threatened by non-State actors.
They expressed particular concern over those who have suffered reprisals for their engagement and participation in UN human rights mechanisms and processes. ‘Participation in the work of the international human rights system is in itself a right and must never be met with intimidation or attacks’ the experts stated.
The joint statement of UN experts follows from an informal discussion with members of the Committee for the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and civil society to put forward suggestions for the Committee to strengthen their work and protection.
Pooja Patel, Programme Director at the International Service for Human Rights (ISHR), underlined the specific nature of risks women face in fighting for human rights. “Women human rights defenders are being threatened, harassed, intimidated, stigmatized, jailed, forcibly disappeared, and killed because of their work to promote human rights”, said Patel. ‘It is of grave concern that the targeting of WHRDs is increasing globally, yet the Committee can play an important role in authoritatively setting out the legitimacy of their work and strengthening the framework for their protection’ she added.
A feminist activist from the Bahamas highlighted how difficulties faced by WHRDs in their work are significantly based on gender, gender identity, and how gender is perceived in society. “When you combine this with the challenges of being at constant risk, you can get an understanding of what it is to be at the frontline” she further explains.
The particular risks and threats, together with specific protection needs of WHRDs, have been analysed in various reports from different UN human rights mechanisms. Yet, women defenders often dedicate the limited space available for civil society in different fora to highlight human rights violations, and do not always bring attention to the threats and attacks they face themselves.
A woman defender working on minority rights in Thailand explained how hate speech campaigns online have specifically targeted WHRDs in her country. “Violations continue to persist, but it is very meaningful that CEDAW continues to bring up these cases and the specificities of the situation of women human rights defenders” she added.
ISHR welcomes the Committee’s efforts to underline the vital role played by women defenders in ensuring the effective realization of the rights contained in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. “We encourage the Committee to strengthen its ongoing work in supporting WHRDs and their meaningful participation in both national and multilateral fora”, declared Patel. | 2019-04-22T05:18:56 | https://www.ishr.ch/news/whrd-l-women-human-rights-defenders-making-immeasurable-contributions-say-un-experts | [

His face is serious. Smile stern, taut cheeks, posture narrowed. I have always found him photogenic. To explain to him why I feel it is inappropriate to take a picture in this setting is to flout my “white boy English,” that eloquent speech imposed upon me as a child, the elaborate words I mastered in order to get good grades in my undergraduate courses, the vocal tones and hand gestures of a PhD candidate—and necessary for any dream of upward mobility. He doesn’t feel the structure around me as I do. Our loving is at the border of our oppositions.
On November 18, 2013, Cruz Marcelino Velazquez Acevedo, a 16-year-old from Tijuana, Mexico, dies on the border. He does not drown in a ditch, a canal, or the Rio Grande, as so many migrants trying to cross over into the United States do. He does not dehydrate in the deserts of Texas or Arizona or California. He is not even trying to cross over to, as so many call it, “illegally migrate.” In San Ysidro, at the border crossing of the United States and Mexico, he dies from an overdose, from too many sips of the liquid methamphetamine he is trying to smuggle over.
20/20 dedicates an episode to Velazquez. The episode’s title is “Life and Death at the Border.” The episode provides a minute-by-minute rundown of Velazquez’s time at the border checkpoint according to the footage made public by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The program includes the testimonies of the two border officers who—accused but never convicted—coerced Velazquez to drink the liquid in order to prove it was not drugs, as the teen had said. They bring in a toxicologist to give expert analysis on what overdoses do to the body, and a former commissioner of the agency who deems the actions of the officers “inappropriate” and “misconduct.” The television program highlights the ruthlessness of the cartels, the lucrative market for methamphetamines, and the violence of the border. The program wraps into an hour the hundreds of years compressed, conflicts, insurrections, and civil wars. As in the title “Life and Death at the Border,” the border, like anytime we say the word “the border,” becomes yet another theory of what the border is supposed to mean.
An installation: a wall of backpacks. All sizes, all colors, all varieties. Each one is considerably dirty, and many are blanched by constant exposure to the sun. What are we looking at? Scratch that: What are we being made not to see?
After more than 10 minutes of suspension, one backpack in particular catches the eye. The backpack is a pink that pops, a plastic-looking pink you see in the Walmart’s Back-to-School section. It is small, and its smallness makes it stand out among so many larger backpacks, a landscape of faded browns and blacks. Plastered on the front of the backpack is Dora the Exploradora. This backpack must have belonged to a little girl who, for one reason or another, had to abandon her backpack along the border of the United States and Mexico. The other details of her life are unknown.
I am 12 years old when my brother dies. My mother and sister ask the coroner, “Was he in a lot of pain when it happened?” I am not present when they ask him, because they do not feel I am old enough, but something tells me, knowing their way of being forcefully insistent, that the coroner told them what they wanted to hear, that he could see the proof of their pain in their eyes. “He felt nothing, absolutely nothing,” they report back, allegedly repeating the coroner’s words verbatim.
But if the coroner is telling the truth, how can he know what my dead brother experienced? Where is the evidence for the existence of this non-pain? My mother and sister feel it is a justice if he felt pain. It corroborates their theories. For if he felt pain, much like we wonder if Velazquez felt pain, we can project all our anger and torment onto the ones responsible for creating the pain: the drunk driver / the United States government. But if there is no pain? If the coroner is right and life, in an instant, in a flash, extinguishes into nothingness, without those human things we call suffering, pain, torture, and violence, what then? How do we justify a life? How do we prove to others that my brother / Velazquez mattered?
7:11 p.m.: Velazquez wipes his forehead.
7:36 p.m.: He starts sweating heavily, his body shaking.
7:48 p.m.: Handcuffed and standing up, Velazquez screams, “mi prima,” “mi hermana,” “mi corazón.” He rocks back and forth. Several officers watch him. The one officer who told him to drink the liquid drugs wipes the sweat from his forehead.
7:51 p.m.: He is strapped into a gurney, eyes rolling into the back of the head, the limbs in a frenzy, the head convulsing.
8:24 p.m.: In the hospital, he is unresponsive, pupils fixed, fixed on the beyond.
8:39 p.m.: Velazquez is put on a respirator.
8:57 p.m.: Velazquez dies from acute methamphetamine intoxication.
In the court of law, in the break rooms of Immigration and Customs, on the big-screen TV of some John and Joanne’s home in the Upper West Side or Springfield or Malibu or Main Street, does this footage prove anything? Can this tell the millions of viewers why he risked it all to traffic drugs into the United States? What brought him to the border the day he died? Any pursuit of a “why” presupposes there is one reason, one cause, one deciding factor that urges bodies to risk everything.
Unable to move from standing in front of the Dora backpack, I take a picture. I concentrate on the backpack. I tell myself to think beyond this blankness I am feeling right now. I do everything I can standing in place, as if some sentence from the void will pull through, some word or clause or syllable will whisper to me, shout at me, tell it to me. The backpack does not open itself up to interpretation.
Visuals without audio: What is on trial is not the voice but the body’s language. One of the officers makes the gesture to drink by bringing hand to mouth. The other officer places the liquid substance before Velazquez and nods his head, encouraging, commanding, enforcing. Velazquez swallows from the bottle of the liquid drug four times, hoping to convince them it is not a drug, so he can cross through, deliver it, and return home without any backlash from the cartels. The incident report filed the same night notes Velazquez “voluntarily” drinks the substance. Protocol, according to the report, is followed.
This report is a document of the United States of America. 20/20’s report is an attempt to counter the federal report with the facts of the matter—the body language, expert opinions, and eyewitness accounts. There is no doubt the viewer will notice the program’s sympathies are with Velazquez. But the solution on offer is nothing more than getting rid of a few bad apples, nothing less, making sure they hire no more bad apples, nothing more.
1) The border, and the many meanings of the border, is not meant to be relived. It is to be tucked away safely in a memory box, dusted on occasion for a brief recollection, but not reexperienced.
2) The border is a trauma, living in the body, triggering and affecting, passed on to other bodies. The border, as E— seems to be suggesting, can manifest even here downtown in New York City, so far from the United States–Mexico border, so far from my undocumented father who now lives in rural New Jersey.
20/20 cites other deaths along the border. A family picnicking on the Mexican side of the border is shot at by border patrol on a boat, killing the father. A teenage boy, accused of throwing rocks across the border, is shot 10 times. A man is tased over and over again by a mob of border-patrol agents for being on drugs. In all cases, no charges are brought against these officers, no protocols against violence are implemented. These flash points of life and of death are innumerable. They define the border as we know it.
On display: a spiral-bound notebook. The pages are warped by water damage. The paper near the metallic binding appears to be eaten away, lined with holes and tears. The front cover, made of plastic, looks melted; the colors are a faded swirl of blue, tan, and black—no doubt the result of a ruthless exposure to sunlight. Though unopened (perhaps even unopenable?), the pages appear blank. One can only surmise that the waves of a river or the soaking in a ditch washed away whatever stories, fragments, or ramblings were contained within them. Or maybe, just maybe, there was nothing yet written down on those pages. Blank pages of journal entries yet to be, poems in process, theories waiting for the right words to explain themselves.
She hesitates, an “ummm” trips on her lips, she nods her head slightly, her facial features formulating the appropriate sentence, the appropriate language, the appropriate face for the camera watching her: “I can’t . . . I heard him screaming.” She looks down at the table before her, wringing out her wrists, eyes red, the biting of the lip. Scene changes.
One officer in particular is zeroed in on. The footage of her testimony is masterfully edited to account for the frequent pauses between speech, downward cast eyes, intelligible language breaking down into unintelligible sounds, a sniffle here and a clearing of the throat there. Guilt can be found in the body of the individual. If the logic of the camera is followed, nations and organizations and corporations and ideologies and systems are incapable of guilt. Their immaterial bodies cannot be recorded, edited, and represented like the testimonies of a human.
We see shootings of unarmed men on a livestream caught on tape by girlfriends, helicopters reporting on the border men beaten to death by a mob, a bystander recording a man dying from a chokehold screaming out “I CAN’T BREATHE! I CAN’T BREATHE!” and no one can imagine governments or mindsets or corporations giving the confidence necessary for individuals to commit such violence. (What would it look like to put a power structure on trial, to make a system testify, to force an ideology to swear on the Bible? Absurd, no doubt, but a limit we ought to challenge.) Motives for the guilty are sought of the individual kind: personal vendettas, hate crimes, ignorance, negligence, and so on and so forth. We are made to believe some humans are just naturally born evil, corruptions of humanity, exceptions to some unspecified norm, a backwardness to be transcended. The promise is that certain kinds of humans, who think in certain kinds of ways, who live their lives in certain kinds of ways, will, eventually, in due time, be phased out. But the question never asked is what ways of living and being in the world are we waiting to extinguish? Because to ask such a question is to confront question, problem, and answer head-on.
E— calls me over to where he is. “Mira . . .” he says, pointing to an object I had overlooked earlier. The object is one sheet of lined paper with writing on it. The sheet appears to have been water damaged, the tint of the page a dark brown as if exposed to muddy waters, the edges of it curled as if fried by the sun. A letter? An essay? Spoken-word poetry?
The letters are blocky, as if the writer was pressing down on the pen hard, belabored. The words are in English. Full sentences cannot be deciphered, but the beginnings of some are as follows: “TheRE GOES my . . .” “LET THE Good . . .” “My BRown eye . . .” One word that reads as “VASANOVA” has the words “we on the,” above it, as if the writer is amending a thought, being more precise with their meaning. Given the free use of uppercase and lowercase letters in these words, I wonder if the writer is an English-language learner, teaching themselves, though imperiled, though endangered, though risking life, a foreign language on the border.
I want to ask E— why he directed me to see this, why this affected him in some way, but it soon hits me: He directs my attention to it because he knows it will have this impact on me. He knows I love studying penmanship, analyzing how a loop, a space between letters, an illegible word can tell us about a life we do not know. He knows writing in all its forms is important to me.
The loose leaf leaves us to our theories.
The toxicology expert 20/20 hired gives the viewer a run-down of what Velazquez is experiencing: blood pressure rising exponentially, a fever spiking, the body unable to cool, delirium, the body working double-time. Chemistry kills Velazquez. The toxicologist needs to emphasize to the reporter interviewing him, “Cruz was in an immense amount of pain.” Immense: an adjective describing quantity, intensity, degrees. Immense as syllables as an adjective as a word as language tries to describe the indescribable. Futile as it may be, the toxicologist uses the word in efforts to describe to us, as best he can, how the body is bound by laws, how the body is testimony, how the body testifies.
About to leave. E— and I are staring at photographs of the Arizona desert where many of the objects in the exhibit were acquired. Though beautiful, though sublime, photographs have a harder time of catching my attention. Too still, possibly.
I turn around from the photographs, and from E—. There are four women looking at a tire I had glossed over earlier, a tire once employed by men to help repair the walls along the U.S.-Mexico border, a tire turned museum object. I didn’t see them enter the exhibition. They look like my tías and primas. One appears to be in her late 30s, and the three others look to be no older than 15. The women are huddled around the tire. Bodies poised in attention. Their brown eyes are the eyes of concentration. What do they contemplate there before the tire? How do they do this combined effort of thought? | 2019-04-23T09:12:20 | https://thenewinquiry.com/border-theories/ | [

Washington Governor and presidential candidate Jay Inslee said Wednesday that climate change can't be solved unless the Senate filibuster and the Electoral College are both eliminated.
"I don't believe you can be serious about saying you can defeat climate change unless you realize we need to have the filibuster go the way of history because Mitch McConnell has weaponized the filibuster," Inslee said to a gaggle of reporters after a policy forum in D.C. "You can't be serious about having major decarbonization legislation in any near-term without removing the filibuster."
Inslee's entire campaign is focused on the issue of climate change.
He also joined the growing group of Democrats calling for the elimination of the Electoral College, something that has especially irritated the left after the 2016 election.
"These are archaic relics of a bygone age," he said, according to the Washington Examiner. "We need progress. We also need democracy, which is one person, one vote. I've never understood why people who want to block progress like Mitch McConnell get one and half votes and people who want go defeat climate change only get one. That is a recipe for disaster when it comes to climate change."
Four elections in U.S. history have seen a candidate elevated to the White House who did not win the plurality of all votes nationwide, including President Trump's election in 2016. | 2019-04-25T03:46:35 | https://www.longroom.com/discussion/1414875/inslee-filibuster-and-electoral-college-have-to-go-to-defeat-climate-change | [

I am not a hamster, there is a basic problem in the process where drugs get approved in the US. It comes from the fact that the drug companies themselves are expected to provide test results that the FDA is supposed to use to make the determination of whether it's safe or not.
plaintiffs who claimed the drug Vioxx proved fatal or injured its users.
Then people actually wonder why drugs like Vioxx manage to "slip through the cracks" and get approved anyway when later testing by independent people produce findings that, like in the case of Vioxx, prove that it shouldn't have ever been on the market to begin with.
I guess it comes down to two things... the FDA is seriously overworked and understaffed / underfunded. and the drug companies are a VERY powerful force on capitol hill. | 2019-04-21T08:37:50 | http://iamnotahamster.net/215/it-took-em-long-enough/ | [

The industry is anticipated to almost triple in size in the coming years with the market expected to reach US $9.7 billion by the year 2022.
Global Ayurveda Summit in Kochi found that 77 percent of Indian households used them in 2017. This is up from 69 percent of households in 2015.
The rise of ayurveda is being fuelled by growing emphasis on the importance of healthy lifestyles, suggested the report prepared by Powerwaterhouse Coopers (PwC) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).
This is against the backdrop of India’s rising rates of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which the report credits with encouraging more and more people to look after their health.
To this end, many Indians are turning to Ayurveda and other alternative medicine systems and treatments, such as unani, siddha, naturopathy, and homoeopathy.
Speaking at the event, Governor of Kerala P Sathasivam welcomed the news. He spoke positively of the Centre “[giving] priority to mainstreaming indigenous medicine systems” in the 2017 National Health Policy.
He credited this with giving “a policy boost” to “Indian medicine systems, such as Ayurveda.” The state was identified in the report as being well-positioned to lead the growth of ayurveda in the coming years.
To build on the industry’s growth in India, PwC and the CII encouraged the use of technologyby the ayurvedic industry to satisfy demand. It also said that quality control standards need to be enforced if ayurveda is to be successfully launched at the international level.
The Centre has been keen to promote traditional systems of medicine in recent years. It established the Union Ministry of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH) in 2014.
The Modi government has been keen to promote AYUSH both at home and abroad, constructing state-of-the-art homoeopathic laboratories and showcasing the industry at international conferences.
This is fuelling growing uptake of AYUSH. Not only do 77 percent of households use Ayurveda, there has been a fifty percent increase in patients seeking homoeopathic treatment in the past five years.
AYUSH’s increased popularity is being observed not only among Indians, but also among international visitors. Some analysts have credited AYUSH with driving – at least in part – the rapid growth of India’s medical tourism industry.
This is not to say that AYUSH treatments cannot be of some public health benefit. For example, homoeopathic treatments may lessen overreliance on antibiotics and other medicaments for ailments such as the common cold.
Some evidence has been produced, suggesting the merit of alternative approaches such as music therapy to mental healthcare, as well as the potential value of turmeric in the fights against arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease.
There is a clear scientific consensus surrounding the limitations of what AYUSH can offer in terms of health. As such, the rising popularity of such treatments may seem baffling to some.
Yet the industry’s continual growth on the backbone of near-incessant government promotion and largely positive coverage in the media does seem to indicate that, for the foreseeable future, AYUSH is here to stay. | 2019-04-24T06:10:13 | https://www.clipper28.com/en/ayurvedic-products-increasing-popularity/ | [

00:39 MANNY: I’m here with Kevin King and he’s always doing ninja stuff. We will be discussing how to generate recurring revenue 24 hours per day during the AM and the PM. I was watching a Quentin Tarantino film of about three hours long, I was making money, how cool is that?! I did the amazing interview with Kevin King and although the quality of the audio isn’t of the best, it is worth listening to every minute.
You’re pretty successful with Amazon FBA. If you don’t mind me asking, how much are you doing in sales per month at the moment?
01:55 KEVIN: Right now we’re doing low six figures per month, and growing.
01:57 MANNY: Wow. How did you get into Amazon FBA?
02:08 KEVIN: I’ve been dealing with Amazon for years. I’m one of those guys who has an old school account – I can get the daily withdrawals; I don’t have to wait. I buy tens of dollars of stuff for myself and my business through Amazon, I’m a big customer. If I see something in the house which I want to sell, I put it up on Amazon. I’ve been dealing with Amazon for 15 years in another business of mine called Amazon Advantage which is a principle for media, books, DVD’s etc. where they actually issue purchase orders and you send your stuff in on consignment and they pay you. I’ve had a business account for 20 years so we wholesale to them on that side – It’s a little bit different to the FBA. Two or three years ago I stumbled into something online where people were doing this FBA thing – didn’t get right into it at that moment as I was busy with other business (I can kick myself today!). I started with FBA about a year ago. I had a buddy – we did a little bit of retail arbitrage just to get my feet wet a get to know the system, how Amazon ships things and how they work. I quickly realized that the work was too much in relation to the return. My buddy was a bit more enthusiastic and started with it right away. I was in the developing business for years – I saw the FBA business last year May and read up on it, listened to podcasts – I was all in. I got my first product launched at the end of July. I have 7 products right now on Amazon. I don’t count the first to as they were a test run.
06:02 MANNY: It seems like there’s a common theme with the successful people, the ones who are doing really well and that is that the first products initially just fail, they don’t do very well. It happened to me too, I just didn’t do my research well. The one product is not there anymore and the other is just not doing well.
06:28 KEVIN: I have two in the beauty category that are just like that. I followed the formula that most of the podcasters teach – many people go with this formula so when I chose the product in May last year so unfortunately there were about seven guys that had the same product. By the time I got it launched, there were about 100 of them. The product was a serum and there’s no differentiation – I tried to make the packaging different but a serum is a serum. I quickly learned to not play whatever everyone else is playing. I then chose a product that is whole different then the first two – a category newbies wouldn’t choose and I’ve been doing good ever since. They’re still a standard sixe product on Amazon but in an area where not a lot of people want to mess with.
08:13 MANNY: Are you saying that they don’t want to mess with it as the price point per unit are just higher?
08:18 KEVIN: You are still paying a buck or two to get your product and selling it for $15 and to bring it over – instead of paying a small amount for DHL or whatever service you’re using, I’m paying airfreight so it is costing me more and taking longer to come in. They’re still the standard size so you don’t pay extra to get the products in.
09:18 MANNY: I always say like a basketball player’s shoe box. I’ve been doing the same for a while and some people will come back and say that I’ve said something else in a podcast but times change, things change and you’ve got to change your strategies. Lately I’ve also been telling people to stay away from the cheap stuff. It’s hard to get the right margins for Pay Per Click. If you have something that you can sell for $30 or $40, that would be great. You’ve then got a bigger chance at success.
10:09 KEVIN: The best cost product I’ve bought was $20. I’ve sold it for $79. If I sell anything, I try to triple the cost to cover shipping cost etc. if I don’t come close to triple my cost, then I’m not interested in selling the product. A lot of people do not have the finances to start something like this up – those who are asking what they need to start it up are most probably looking to just get rich, something like a lottery ticket. Most of those people have given up and started something else.
11:11 MANNY: If you start up with just $200/500, you can’t get into the products that were mentioned. You can’t buy a $10 or $15 product with $200.
11:31 KEVIN: A lot of people only want to do this as an alternative to their regular job – to pay credit card debt, to go on vacation and that is all good. If you want to make a living out of this only, you’ve got to put some money in. I’ve invested quite a lot because one of my strategies is not to just go out and find something out of the global sources, bring it in and sell it on Amazon – half of my private label products, I develop from scratch. I’ve hired people on Upwork who made sketches for me and did all the CAD designs and another guy who alternate the sketches to see from different angles so it looks like a real product. I then do 3D printing so I can test the product out and make sure it is correct/give it to someone to test it out. I only then put the product out there. I go look at all the negative reviews and where there is a gap in the market – if someone sells the product for $10, I sell it for $40 to cover the high end of the market. My sales may be less and my BSR lower, but I’m making more money. All my products right now are between 3000 and 7000 BSR. I’ve got products making me $500 profit a day which is 7000 BSR which is after expenses, advertising costs, sponsored ads, everything. That is one of my strategies, to create these custom products and the major advantage to this is you can have higher margins and zero competition. If you search for one of my products, there are 1000 hits but 800 of those are all the same product with no differentiation. One of my products in the Sports category is not custom but I differentiated it by adding 3 other components and it’s the most expensive in its category. I also do custom packaging on all my products. There’s two reasons for that: I’ve shown my packaging in one of my listings which I’ve never had a problem with, with hi-jackers – another reason is that I look at these products for long-term retail. Amazon is a great platform to launch in, to prove you have a good product and to get feedback from customers, improve the product and then take it to retail in the big stores not only to make money but to lavage yourself to if something ever changes on Amazon, if you lose your account for some reason, you’re not just out there flapping in the wind.
16:07 MANNY: This is a lot of good information. You’re on pace to do seven figures this year. You’ve made over a million backs.
16:31 KEVIN: With the holiday season, based on last season and what I could’ve done if I was prepared during December and January, I expected this year to do $2,5M to $3M this year. I’m launching a few new products now and if I get a single or double, at least ten a day, with a $15 margin on each product, that’d be good. If I launch a new product, I’m willing to spend some money to get it going. I’m going to get reviews. Reach for the top 10 000 reviewers and find the ones that list things they love in their bio – get 10 of 15 of them and give them the product – offer the amount to them, give it to them for free and have them order it through Amazon so it go through the system. That’s a good way to get started and then use services like review check to get your reviews up to around 15 or 20. Some people say you need to wait to do Pay Per Click until you get a certain number of reviews, you don’t need to. Five reviews will be sufficient. You need to turn on pay Per Clicks and start making money instantly. The best investment is through Pay Per Click as you can buy your way to the top. I you buy a product for $20 and you sell it for $79, after all the commissions and fees, you can still afford to pay $10 per click/sale average. The way I look at my sales is: I take the product and say I’m going to spend $10 on marketing. If I sell 10 per day, it’s going to cost me $100 per day to sell those products on Amazon. If four of them were sold through sponsored ads, I’m acquiring them in my personal figures – I still calculate them as ‘losing the money’, I’m willing to break even now in a competitive space. I launched a product in December and I was spending about $600 a day to get that product launched. I was still making money and it still sells the same amount each day, I’m only paying $40 per day in advertising so if I have to initially not make money because of advertising, that’s fine. With Pay Per Click you build up the recognition for your product, unlike with the normal reviews.
22:50 MANNY: Pay Per Click will increase your organics, I say that too, but a lot of people say that Pay per Click does not affect your organics. You believe that too?
23:15 KEVIN: I believe 100 percent that it does increase your organics. Why wouldn’t it? Amazon is all about selling products. If they know that you are selling a product and it gets lot of searches, why wouldn’t they show it organically to you? You’re buying space through Amazon with Pay Per Click just as you would buy shelf space in a grocery store. You’re doing the same thing on Amazon through sponsored ads and proving yourself.
24:52 MANNY: Do you feel like there’s a difference between having that top spot at the top of all the searches vs being on the side panel or different positions for Pay per Click?
25:01 KEVIN: I think the most important thing is to be on page one. If you look at studies, only 30% of people go past page one. Most people will scroll through the first page and see what’s there. Best position is to be on the top left position.
25:49 MANNY: For those of you who are starting out – if you start out, you’re not going to be on page one initially. You’re probably going to be on page 17. If you can get a few reviews and start Pay Per Click, you can be on page one within a few hours. There’s very few industries where you can get in and get that immediately from page access. You might not be making money initially; you’re trying to buy op your organic ranking. The first month is almost a throw-way to build up your position.
27:02 KEVIN: I’ll let my Pay Per Click run for about seven days before I make any major adjustments. As long as I’m in that top two spots initially, I’m fine. If the keywords doesn’t look good, I’ll lower my bid and give it a week before adjustment.
28:23 MANNY: If you’re adjusting the bids on that keyword, are you saying that you’re initially running an automatic campaign and then you’re moving to a manual and then you’re adjusting them specifically manual?
28:38 KEVIN: I initially run an automatic campaign to see if Amazon thinks the product is what I think it is. At the same time, I also run a manual broad to pick up on other things. After a week I’ll eliminate the automatic, I’ll then see what’s working and what’s not working. Once I settle on keywords, I’ll move to a phrase or exact and see what works best.
29:46 MANNY: if you’ve got a small subset, 15 keywords or phrases that are awesome, you’ve eliminated all your automatic campaigns and you’re now on manual, are you setting up different campaigns for each keyword so you can control the individually?
30:00 KEVIN: No, I just put them online with a $500 budget daily.
30:08 MANNY: And then you just control the bids by going in there and checking the keyword phrases.
30:13 KEVIN: Yes. I’ve done them automatically, I’ve tested it where I just lower the bids so I get $1 for Pay Per Click to see if I can get someone that goes to page six and sees my product. I wouldn’t recommend continuing that.
30:46 MANNY: So if you’ve got these 15 awesome keyword phrases set up in your manual campaign, do you still find it’s worth it to have 5000 characters’ worth of other keywords if you’re not pushing those through Pay Per Click or is that still super important for the organic side of stuff?
31:08 KEVIN: Amazon has changed and it only allows you to have 5000 characters and it’s not keywords. I take a different approach on that, on a lot of what people and Amazon says is a lie. In my first line I repeat all my main keywords even though they’re in my title or wherever for in case they change the algorithm. In the next few points I fill in with a lot of random words, unique words that are not in my description or bullets or title. Those are just casting a wide net. For example, if I have a dog product in there, I will search for the top dog breeds and I’ll put those in there because if someone is looking for a dog product, they might type in “dog food” and you’ll appear for that. In the last line I will put in Spanish translation of my keywords as there’s a lot of people that do not speak English in the United States and has the second highest population of Spanish people.
35:09 MANNY: That’s awesome information. You basically resurrected a failing product.
35:16 KEVIN: Once I did that for the first product, I went and did it for all my other products. The products are in different categories so it won’t work for every product necessarily, it didn’t work as well for all my other products.
35:49 MANNY: Awesome! How do you deal with misspellings?
35:53 KEVIN: I use the extra space in the last bullet to deal with that and Amazon will autocorrect that too and you’ll land up in more products with the misspellings.
36:35 MANNY: I’ve noticed that too. If you have that keyword on there, it would show in your search and ask “Did you search for this?”. I am actually for a number of highly misspelled keyword phrases.
36:57 KEVIN: With the Spanish and the serum product I had – if you type it in, thousands of products show up and because I’m not doing Pay Per Click, I’m on page four or five for that listing. Also if I’m selling a toy I’d put in ‘toy’ and ‘toys’.
38:39 MANNY: Do you have the Amazon App, the A9 app?
38:49 KEVIN: No, I’ve never seen it.
38:50 MANNY: It’s pretty trippy. A lot of people don’t know about that. I want to talk about brands in terms of actually bidding on those – do you do anything with competitor brands’?
39:23 KEVIN: No, I’ve tested it – if you put words in there and it’s some uncommon brand it doesn’t make a difference but if it’s a major brand, it’s probably not going to work.
39:46 MANNY: So if you’re in a category where they say there’s two or three sellers who are just dominating, 1000 units a month each in sales, would you consider using their brand name?
40:10 KEVIN: What I’ve found works better is if you do a broad Pay Per Click on that for example ‘eyelash serum’, I’ll get people typing in a brand name that’s ‘Unique eye lash serum’ then Amazon won’t give me any searches as they’ve filtered it out. If I leave it as a broad match, just eyelash serum, I can pick up some of the brand stuff.
42:30 MANNY: You said you start 1000 units a time when you’re starting with a new product, is that your standard, do you always do that?
42:45 KEVIN: Yes, that’s my standard. When am looking at my product, I’m pretty confident. If you have less units, you can’t really promote it as you’re going to run out of stock soon. You spend a lot of money to get that product launched and for reviews, you can’t do that with 200 units. Another thing I do is I do inspections in China before the product is shipped to the USA to make sure everything is there that needs to be there and that the products look good. I find that after I’ve started doing the inspections, the products started looking better and I had less problems with my products.
48:29 MANNY: They’ll even do the three-foot Amazon drop test for you.
48:32 KEVIN: I have them drop the master product form three feet because when they’re being shipped, they handle them roughly and you don’t want to deliver a product that has a dent in. I also order a few extra boxes for in case this happens and for returns of products that were never used, so I can resell them then.
50:15 MANNY: For all of you who think that Kevin has all of these things going on…how many people do you have in your company?
50:30 KEVIN: It’s just me.
50:31 MANNY: Outside of hiring a couple freelancers to do your specifications and that, it’s just you?
50:39 KEVIN: I’ve got a bookkeeper coming in once a month as I don’t like doing the nitty gritty stuff. I also have some guys I get to do my packaging. I’ll sit down and do the sketches on paper and send it to them and tell them that’s what we have to create and we’ll communicate back and forth for a week. That’s all for $110. When my pallets come I’ll have someone assist me in removing the pallets and getting Amazon stickers on the boxes and shipping them to Amazon.
52:42 MANNY: You’re one of the few people I know who handles a big amount of inventory who don’t ship them directly to Amazon, you ship the stuff to your house?
52:55 KEVIN: Right now I’m working from my house but it has gotten to the point where I’ll have to get a little warehouse. On the first thousand units I put a PC barcode, not the Amazon code, for in case somebody hi-jacks the product. Now I let Amazon put that label up for me. My inspection company checks everything for me. I ship them via central freight so it costs me $150 instead of $1000 for UPS. I’ll pay that extra 20 cents for them to label it. I’d like to have that eyeball checked.
56:24 MANNY: Especially if your order comes in and it’s $80 000 worth of retail goods, a few dollars more wouldn’t make a difference. For the listeners who say that you can’t do it, you don’t have the time, this guy is doing it alone. You can do it, you just have to take that first step and do it. You can’t just keep learning forever, you’ll have to dive in.
57:00 KEVIN: I’ve been there, I’ve had companies where people worked for me out of a warehouse and I don’t want to get to that position. I cap this, I don’t want it to grow that much. My goal is to get this to $10M by 2019 and I might have to bring on one or two people. I just want to make enough money to survive and enjoy my life.
58:05MANNY: That’s cool. It’s ironic because I will ask a question and you’ll come up with five things and I’ll want to go back to each. This is so full of information. Four-color-box is the technical term for having unlimited color. Are you having your supplier do that or do you have it done and then ship it to your manufacturer?
58:44 KEVIN: I let the supplier do it. I send my designs through to them. I had them change something once and the inspector caught the problem and had them repackage the items.
59:58 MANNY: What does it cost you typically when you’re doing custom boxes?
1:00:15 KEVIN: It depends on the box – I’m not doing a fancy box. I just take their basic template and redo the artwork. It depends on the thickness of the box – sometimes it’s 10 cents, the most expensive is $2.06 and then it’s a really nice, thick box. People eat with their eyes. You have to give a good image of your brand. It adds a sub-consciousness to your product.
1:02:59 MANNY: For your main image itself, do you put your product box in that white background or in the secondary image?
1:03:12 KEVIN: On some products I do put the product box. I put the price box in the background and the product box in front of it. It helps the product to stand out when someone is going through the pages and it’s clean, without “Number one seller!” and “Best seller!” banners. You have to still have a white border around the edge of your image – without it Amazon software sometimes remove the photo.
1:04:46 MANNY: Do you use all your images; do you fill every space?
1:04:48 KEVIN: Yes, I do. I make sure they’re all 1500×1500. I don’t use any image from the factories. I create all my images and try to show my product in context so people can relate. Your second image is important as it is visible when searching.
1:07:10 MANNY: How long does it take your inspector to do an inspection? Many people believe they should get the product out right away, so if you add the inspection process, how much time does that add?
1:07:30 KEVIN: Usually I give the company 48 hours to complete the inspection but they do it in 24 hours. If my product is done on Monday, I can let the inspector know and I’ll have the report back on Wednesday.
1:08:04 MANNY: For protecting your products you use a five wall box and corner protectors. What I the costs of that and can you have all suppliers do that?
1:08:22 KEVIN: Some suppliers don’t do the five corners so I choose three corners and just ask them to but Styrofoam around it. There is an extra cost but it’s not huge – maybe $50 total for the whole shipment.
1:09:05 MANNY: Great! You typically ship these products via sea or air express?
1:09:13 KEVIN: I do both. It depends – I just had 1000 items come in and to ship them by air was going to cost me $2500 and shipping them by sea was going to be $1900 so I just had the whole thing come by air. If the container is heavy, it comes by sea.
1:10:27 MANNY: In a different conversation we were talking about pricing and how people end their products on .95 or .99, you don’t do that?
1:10:38 KEVIN: If you want to make things look more expensive, you put a period with two decimals after them. If you list your product for $39.39, it feels less than to just say $39.00. There’s a psychology and if I list cents, I will do .88 or something unusual to make it stand out.
1:11:56 MANNY: Dealing with your suppliers overseas – do you use any NDA’s or not?
1:12:06 KEVIN: You can do it but it’s just cumbersome. I don’t do it, even on the products I developed, they’re just going to knock you off. I had a product come out and it went through the trademark and everything was fine. They publish it in a little magazine and they have a certain amount of days where someone can raise an objection and there was a law firm that raised an objection to one of my marks and said it was too close to them, it wasn’t worth fighting as it was a big firm, so I changed the packaging.
1:15:36 MANNY: Nice. Maybe we can do a part two and talk about all these other things like 3D printing, tooling for your products and customize the products, how you do some cool ninja things with your Pay Per Click and what you do when inventory is running low. If you want this – tell us on our Facebook group/website. Please also head over to Periscope app and follow me – @mannycoats and get to know me, it’s not all only business. Go to AM/PM Podcast and post your questions there – go over to our Facebook group and request access, it’s called the Amazon FBA High rollers and we’d love to see you there. | 2019-04-26T00:14:15 | https://www.ampmpodcast.com/kevin-king-delivers-amazing-value-fantastic-interview-advanced-private-label-ep33/ | [

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I have the same issues, but it seems no one takes it too seriously. I'm told to exercise more. Jeez. I'm doing as much as I can. I finished chemo in February 2013 and immediately started on Letrozole. I don't feel like I ever recovered from chemo. Then there are the side effects of Letrozole. I seem to have all of them...lucky me. I finish that in February 2018, and I am so looking forward to getting off of them. The pain is often intolerable, but I am determined to finish this. I am so grateful for the advances in breast cancer treatments that have allowed me to survive this long. Hercepetin and perjeta are awesome drugs, but there seems to be little understanding or research of long term health issues in survivorship.
Before Cancer (BC), I was the energizer bunny. After chemo for stage 3c colon cancer from my colonoscopy at 50 with no symptoms, I was the tortoise. I was hit with Chemo Induced Peripheral Neuropathy after I finished my chemo, which felt like my body was short-circuited. I tried various doses of Neurotin but if it helped, it put me to sleep. So I lived in a state of exhaustion from not sleeping well. I discovered the free Livestrong program at The Community YMCA and on those 3 days, I slept from the 1 hr program. Eventually the tingling 24*7 faded to be replaced with numbness. I learned if I needed to be somewhere or do something that I needed to rest up for it. I was scared to death that if I received a job offer, I would not be able to survive the 40+ hour work week, let alone the commute. B vitamins did nothing, I was already on Vitamin D for osteopenia related to celiac disease. My Livestrong yoga teacher kept trying to convince me to try acupuncture but the idea of sticking a needle into me and leaving it there was not going to happen. I look away when they draw blood. Well fast forward 10 months, and I get a job where I can work from home 99% of the time except for this one week workshop. I was surviving working at home by drinking a pot of coffee a day and taking a 20 minute power nap after conference calls with India and Europe ended. I was scared because I did not know how I could attend a workshop without falling asleep or constantly yawning. I made the decision to try acupuncture and oh how I wish I had done it sooner. It really helped with the neuropathy and fatigue! I could crawl into the office and leave with a spring in my step. I continue with acupuncture to this day nearly 3 years later when I need a pick-me-up or offset scanxiety before my scans and oncologist visit. | 2019-04-19T19:18:52 | https://www.curetoday.com/cure-forum/general-discussions/1271 | [

is a key component of a heart-healthy lifestyle. These supplements can help.
Cholesterol. Along with blood pressure and glucose (blood sugar), it’s a factor that you have to keep under control for the sake of your cardiovascular system. What’s more, this waxy material seems to have other ominous connections: A recent study found a link between even moderately elevated cholesterol levels at mid-life and dementia risk in old age.
According to the American Heart Association, total cholesterol levels below 200 mg/dL are desirable. Levels of 240 and above are high risk; anything between 200 and 240 represents a borderline risk area. For LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, less than 100 is good, 190 and above is very high risk, and anything in between falls into a pattern of increasing risk (100-129, near optimal; 130-159, borderline high; 160-189, high). Conversely, you want higher levels of HDL (“good”) cholesterol—less than 40 for men and 50 for women increases heart disease risk.
Cholesterol imbalances are harmful because they contribute to atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty plaques within arteries that slow blood flow. LDL can become oxidized, a process similar to the rusting of metal. When it does, it can become stuck in the tissue that lines arterial walls. The presence of LDL in arteries attracts blood cells called platelets, which attempt to make repairs; this process causes inflammation, which in turn further stimulates plaque development. Sometimes the plaque becomes unstable, or prone to rupture. If it ruptures a clot can form at the site, which can lead to a heart attack (in the coronary arteries) or stroke (in arteries feeding the brain). HDL, the “good” form of cholesterol, helps shepherd LDL back to the liver for processing.
While atherosclerosis is best known for its cardiovascular consequences, it can cause symptoms elsewhere in the body—anywhere blood flow is reduced by plaque-laden arteries. Plaque buildup in pelvic arteries can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) in men and is strongly suspected of causing sexual dysfunction in women. Reduced blood supply in the arms and legs, a condition known as peripheral arterial disease (PAD), can cause numbness, weakness and pain.
Not smoking. That should go without saying.
Avoiding such dietary hazards as heavily refined foods (including white bread, pasta, rice and sugar), excessive amounts of table salt and saturated fat, and food grown or processed with pesticides, antibiotics or preservatives.
Not drinking or, at the very least, limiting your alcohol intake. The same goes for caffeine, which acts as a stimulant and diuretic.
Regular relief of stress, which has been linked to inflammation. Meditation, tai chi, yoga and plain ’ol exercise are all known to reduce stress.
Exercise for its own sake; physical activity helps lower both total and LDL while raising HDL. | 2019-04-18T15:21:06 | http://www.energytimes.com/pages/features/1002/cholesterol.html | [

A primary school caretaker has been found guilty of attacking a group of teenagers.
Karl Lucas, 27, of Manor Fields, Horsham, who is employed as a premises officer at the Three Bridges Primary School, Gales Drive, was involved in an attack on five teenagers.
West Sussex County Council said Lucas was not currently at work. Sussex Police said at about 5pm on July 12 last year a group of teenagers, two aged 18, and three 16 year olds, were attacked by two men as they walked in Manor Fields Park, Horsham.
The men tried to grab the teenagers’ football and cricket bat after confronting them. The two 18-year-old victims were each punched during the incident. One suffered minor cuts but the other was not injured.
Karl Lucas, 27, and Ben Lucas, 24, of Denne Road, Horsham, pleaded guilty to affray when they appeared at Lewes Crown Court on June 22.
They were both ordered to do 100 hours of community service and made to pay costs, £100 compensation and a £60 victim surcharge. | 2019-04-25T10:01:28 | https://www.crawleyobserver.co.uk/news/people/crawley-primary-school-caretaker-found-guilty-of-attacking-teenagers-1-6838958 | [

Rats and other types of rodents are a common problem in most major cities and rural areas around the world. Since they are known carriers of dangerous diseases and can contaminate food sources quite easily, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent each year in rodent extermination efforts all around the globe.
And although they are considered to be a nasty pest that can be a threat to our health in Canada, we at Pestend Pest Control Mississauga were shocked to learn that in some parts of the world rats are seen in a completely different light.
We are of course speaking of Karni Mata Temple in the small dusty town of Deshnoke India. Also known as the Temple of Rats, Karni Mata is home to approximately 20,000 rats that are worshiped by thousands of visitors annually.
Why On Earth Are They Worshipping Rats?
There are two main stories explaining why so many Hindus worship the 20,000 plus rats living in Karni Mata.
One of the legends tells a story of a 20,000 person army that fled a battle near Deshnoke about 500 years ago, an act that was punishable by death at the time. When Karni Mata, a Hindu warrior sage living in Deshnoke at the time, found out that these warriors deserted the battle, she spared their lives but turned them into rats offering the temple as a place they can stay. In return, the army of rats offered to serve Karni Mata for eternity.
The other famous legend tells a story of Karni Mata’s stepson drowning in a lake while trying to drink some water. When Karni Mata found out about his death, she called upon Yama, the god of death, to revive him. Yama first refused but then granted a special gift to allow Karni Matas stepson and all her other male children to be reincarnated as rats.
So to the thousands of worshipers that visit Karni Mata Temple every year, these rats are actually believed to be reincarnated servants of Karni Mata and some special white rats are thought to be descendants of Karni Matas family.
So how exactly are these rats worshiped in the temple?
Just like any other temple, there are several daily rituals that occur in the temple and of course special events several times a year.
Worshiping on a daily basis begins at 4:00 am when Charan priests offer a special food known as bhog to the rats. Throughout the rest of the day worshipers visiting the temple will also feed the rats special types of food and will even eat and drink with the rats. It is actually considered a high honour amongst worshipers to eat a piece of food that was nibbled by a rat in the temple and to drink from the same bowl of milk that the rats drink from.
The greatest honour of all at Karni Mata temple is if you spot one of the few white rats roaming around the temple. These white rats are thought to be the manifestations of Karni Mata herself and her four sons. Visitors who are lucky enough to see one of these white rats will typically try to feed them a special food known as prasad. | 2019-04-20T00:37:20 | https://www.pestendmississauga.ca/rats-arent-always-viewed-pests/ | [

The global economy is on a growth streak that is shaping up to be the broadest and strongest expansion in more than three decades.
Rising spending and investment by consumers and businesses worldwide are boosting national economies on every continent, pushing down unemployment rates in many countries and lifting business earnings and confidence.
Of 60 nations tracked by investment firm Bridgewater Associates, not one is in recession — the first time that has been true since 1969.
Yet this is a different kind of boom from any other in the post-World War II era, analysts say. The soaring economies of China, India, Russia, Brazil and other emerging nations increasingly are setting the pace, overshadowing the slower growth of the United States, Europe and Japan, where the benefits of the expansion have eluded many workers.
"This is the first recovery where developing economies are playing a dominant role," said James Paulsen, chief strategist at Wells Capital Management in Minneapolis, which manages money for big investors such as pension funds.
The trend is being driven by free trade, which has created millions of jobs in emerging nations in recent years, fueling stunning new wealth in those countries.
This is a story not only at odds with the facts--strong US GDP growth and low unemployment--but with itself--the jobs in those developing countries consist of doing the manufacturing and other work [answering phones] we're too wealthy to do ourselves. It does though demonstrate just how powerful the End of History remains -- forcing capitalism upon such a wide array of nations -- even at a time when folks want to dismiss it.
America and China have been serving as twin engines of the global economy, helping to fuel worldwide growth of 4 percent or higher for several years straight.
Our late editor Bob Bartley used to say that critics might forgive you for being wrong, but they'll never forgive you for being right. That psychological insight may be the only way to explain the fierce and bitter opposition this week to extending the tax cuts of 2003 for another two years through 2010.
If ever there was a market test of economic policy, the last three years have been it. The stock market has recovered from its implosion in Bill Clinton's last year in office, unemployment is down to 4.7%, and growth has averaged 3.9% in the three years since those tax cuts passed--well above the post-World War II average and more than twice the growth rate in Euroland.
Realistically, the United States should be counted with the emerging economies, not the European.
"The soaring economies of China, India, Russia, Brazil and other emerging nations increasingly are setting the pace, overshadowing the slower growth of the United States, Europe and Japan..."
And with the utterly inane comparison of the "slow growth" of the US with Europe & Japan, it is officially OK to stop reading, as the writer has proven he doesn't know a thing about economics. | 2019-04-22T12:15:49 | http://brothersjuddblog.com/archives/2006/05/try_america_pow.html | [

Von Stroheim's Wearing That Suit Again!
Good friend Mark Vieira (author of seriously gorgeous coffee table books on movie imagery) has alerted me to fact that wily Von has again been sighted in that infamous suit. Was Metro economizing, still punishing him for Greed, or was Stroheim insistent on using his own wardrobe? (note too the ubiquitous bamboo cane of numerous EvS portrait sittings) Anyway, this still’s from As You Desire Me, the year 1932, so the suit remains fresh enough, I assume. Greta Garbo is here with Von, and not unexpectedly, he’s insanely jealous in As You Desire Me as well, so quirky in scenes with stiff, conventional Melvyn Douglas as to make the latter "hate him" thereafter. A real knockdown kiss is administered when Von locks lips with GG way more enthusiastically than she likely saw coming. Her recoil ranks among best acting this actress achieved, a reaction clearly genuine. Scuttle is Garbo fled from the set in utter revulsion. Well, they told him to kiss her, and we feel yet that nasty tongue drilling in. Watch when you get a chance, and see what I mean, but wait, As You Desire me is currently withdrawn from broadcast and video availability, so for now at least, the famine is on. | 2019-04-18T13:07:44 | http://greenbriarpictureshows.blogspot.com/2006/01/von-stroheims-wearing-that-suit-again.html | [

Often referred to as the toxic legacy of our digital generation, e-waste has fast emerged as one of the most pressing issues on the environmental and health front in India’s path to development. A couple of months ago, the United Nations reported an alarming statistic that the world generated 44.7 million tonnes – equivalent to the weight of 4,500 Eiffel Towers. Out of this, India’s contribution was a significant 2 million tonnes. To add to this, another disturbing fact is that 95% of this e-waste remains treated informally.
The health and environmental effects of electronic waste are well-documented with toxic metals not limited to lead, mercury, and cadmium, resulting in birth defects, brain, heart, liver, kidney and skeletal system damage. In addition to this, e-waste can cause environmental deterioration by way of air, water and soil pollution.
The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) defines 'e-waste' as “electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part discarded as waste by the consumer or bulk consumer as well as rejects from manufacturing, refurbishment and repair processes.” To tackle this problem, the MoEF introduced the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in 2016, whereby the responsibility to collect and channel e-waste from consumers to authorized recycling units was placed with the electronics manufacturing companies and bulk consumers. Although e-waste management laws have been in place since 2011, firms are now required to set yearly collection targets linked to their production numbers.
In 2016 (followed by amendments in 2018), the MoEF clearly defined that the phase-wise collection targets for e-waste in weight shall be 10% of the quantity of waste generation as indicated in the EPR Plan during 2017-18, with a 10% increase every year until 2023.
After 2023, the target has been made 70% of the quantity of waste generation as indicated in the EPR Plan. This can be undertaken by way of Individual Producer Responsibility (IPR) or Collective Producer Responsibility (CPR). In case of the latter, the organization can delegate its compliance organization to a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO).
While the Government policies have been geared towards making sincere efforts to address this pertinent issue, the on-ground reality remains far from the ideal scenario. There is a severe lack of awareness among the producers and consumers, dearth of requisite infrastructure and absence of regulatory enforcement agencies.
An innovative way to look at this problem is to make a business case for it. As the basic principle of economics states, people and organizations respond to incentives. The three principles that must be adhered are those of accountability, business transformation and systems thinking.
Awareness is of utmost importance to get the ball rolling but there are several challenges faced by both producers and bulk consumers that hinder proactive participation. The large-scale producers do not wish to be the first to transform their business, while the process is plagued by the evils of corruption and malfeasance. The medium-scale and small-scale producers, on the other hand, regard e-waste as a tick box in the event of production and do not attempt to engage in the process holistically and take the effort to build awareness.
Although the informal waste pickers, aggregators and dismantlers are willing to enter the fold of formalization, the formal sector faces several challenges. These challenges range from lack of handling capacity to illegitimate facilities in the forms of multiple accounting of waste, selling to aggregators and leakages. There is sufficient evidence for a burgeoning business opportunity, creating an untapped potential for innovators to come up with unique business propositions to address this menace.
We need to develop tracking mechanisms and provide oversight of e-waste compliance, in order to ensure that the mechanism of e-waste disposal is streamlined as much as possible. While enforcement strictness is of paramount importance, it is also vital to build an incentive structure around this to ensure better complicity by the producers. This is an area where the policymakers can step in and highlight opportunities underlying this perceived compliance evil for producers.
The time is ripe for innovators to come up with propositions that bridge the gap between the compliance necessity faced by producers and the strong will of the Government to rid the toxic e-waste in a sustainable and safe manner. | 2019-04-25T17:53:51 | https://www.investindia.gov.in/team-india-blogs/e-waste-compliance-necessity-or-burgeoning-business-opportunity | [

Romania flag carrier TAROM has settled a complaint filed over six month ago by a disabled woman denied boarding at Sofia International airport.
Dilyana Deneva works for the Centre For Independent Living Sofia, a Bulgarian disability organization part of the European Network on Independent Living. Last February, Dilyana was all set to fly from Sofia to Dublin on business.
“On 5th February 2014 I had to travel to Dublin via Bucharest with the Romanian airlines TAROM in order to attend a very important staff meeting,” Dilyana recalls.
Dilyana purchased her ticket from a travel agent several days before the date of her trip. “At the time of booking my flights I made it clear that I’m a wheelchair user and I need assistance at the airport, and that I did not require assistance on board of the plane as I can stand up and make a few steps to my seat with the help of my mother,” the young woman said.
The airline pointed out that delivery of assistance to disabled persons depends on passengers notifying their needs at least 48 hours before their scheduled time of departure, and the transmission of this information to those involved in providing the assistance.
TAROM also said that booking agents have a vital role in this process and should receive specific training on how to seek and record this information and to ensure that it is passed on correctly. | 2019-04-19T02:56:53 | http://reducedmobility.eu/20140723491/The-News/tarom-settle-with-disabled-woman-denied-boarding.html | [

Stuyvesant Town residents have been wondering about the origins of a bunny that appeared in the neighborhood over the holiday weekend.
On Sunday, the critter was seen outside Ess-a-Bagel on First Avenue. One resident, Lola Franco, told Town & Village the bunny seemed fine when she went to scoop it up so she left it be, later hearing that ST/PCV Public Safety officers had managed to capture it. However, she later went back for it, concerned that the creature could end up euthanized at a shelter. She brought it home and a few hours later, her daughter, who works at the nearby ABC Animal Hospital, took the bunny to work with her for a checkup.
The following day, another resident posted on the Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village Tenants Association Facebook page about a gray and white bunny sighting at 20th Street and First Avenue. Franco said this was after the other bunny had been caught she didn’t think it was the same bunny seen by different people.
Several reported sightings over the past couple of weeks of dead and dying squirrels in Stuyvesant Town have had residents wondering what’s going on — since they clearly weren’t devoured by hawks.
One resident, Noam Freedman, said he saw a dying one near Playground 7, with his wife spotting another one behind 7 Oval. The one he saw was lying on the ground, its legs twitching.
On November 15, Freedman noted the incidents on the Tenants Association’s Facebook page. This was followed by a few more residents commenting that they’d seen dead squirrels in different areas in the complex recently.
On Friday morning, a resident of Stuyvesant Town who was out bird watching saw a form of wildlife she’d never encountered before — a skunk – by the Oval.
The resident, Anne Lazarus, said at first she thought she was looking at a large cat — possibly around two feet long including its tail – but then realized what it was as it lumbered along the walkway. Therefore, she knew not to get too close.
Upon noticing Lazarus, she said, “It raised its tail and I backed off quickly.” She then contacted a public safety and an officer who’s previously rescued animals, Patrolman Morales, responded. Armed with a bag at the end of a pole he managed to get the black and white critter inside a large container. Unfortunately, this wasn’t without getting sprayed first.
Lazarus had left the scene by that point but later heard from Morales that he’d brought the skunk to an appropriate area in upstate Kingston and released it there.
Just when you thought it was safe to unwrap your Snickers bar in Stuyvesant Town, reports have surfaced of another child getting attacked by a squirrel. Last Thursday, in its weekly newsletter to residents, StuyTown Property Services stated that a child was scratched when a squirrel leapt out of a garbage can.
Because of this, management is asking residents not to feed the local wildlife anywhere on the property. SPS also not so subtly alluded to the fact that residents have been ignoring its rule about not feeding squirrels within 50 feet of the playgrounds specifically for children’s use.
Now, along with the signs, if a resident is spotted by a public safety officer feeding the critters near any of those five children’s playgrounds, he or she will be told to stop, a spokesperson for management told us. The rep added that the scratch received by the child wasn’t serious.
On Tuesday, State Senator Brad Hoylman met his battiest constituent yet.
On Primary Day, the scores of candidates on the ballot for citywide races briefly had their thunder stolen by an injured bat and its rescuer, State Senator Brad Hoylman.
Hoylman said he found the creature, which appeared to be in distress, near a tree pit on East 10th Street.
He could see it was still alive though, albeit struggling to right itself by flapping around. The copper-colored bat, Hoylman observed, had a wingspan of about seven inches, although the body was comparatively small. It also had, tiny razor sharp teeth, “so I made sure to stay away,” he added.
Concerned that the bat might expire under the hot sun, Hoylman and Gormley got a box from a nearby restaurant, gently scooped up the bat and put it inside. They then brought it to the Wild Bird Fund, which is headquartered on the Upper West Side. | 2019-04-23T19:09:03 | https://town-village.com/category/wildlife/ | [

The most basic principles of Christianity taught by Jesus The Christ apparently is much too difficult for avowed members of the Christian Right. The hate and vitriol from the Christian Right against certain members of the human race defy and rebuke many of the beliefs held by Christ.
But even when the positions conservative Christians take are not steeped in vitriol and hate, their inability to embrace Christ's basic principles seem difficult ponderous, and mysterious to them.
When this Stephen Colbert quote was posted on various Facebook pages, the outrage from the conservative right was quick and unapologetic. The venom and hate from some corners in the defense of reasons to avoid helping the poor and needy apparently stem the conservative belief that helping the poor means rewarding lazy liberals, lazy blacks, and illegal brown immigrants for their worthlessness and laziness. Poor lazy white conservatives often are excluded from this diatribe or are not deemed to be a problem.
One conservative Christian's response to the Stephen Colbert posting on Facebook, however, was absent any directed vitriol. It was a statement that had the connotative air of a question. She simply said, "That depends on what we mean by helping". Taken out of context, it is a curious comment from a professed Christian. But, in the context of the conservative brain, it was a genuine attempt to ask an honest question.
What she really wanted to know is how can conservatives help the poor without letting lazy neer-do-well liberals, blacks, and illegal immigrants steal my hard earned money. Likely, most liberal have no problems with the same question as long as it is applied to both sides of the political divide and all parts of the racial and ethnic spectrum.
America would be a better America if the Christian Right would direct as much vitriol and venom toward wealthy CEOs of greedy, job killing, union busting, low wage paying, middle class destroying, off shore banking, affordable health care denying, job outsourcing corporations that pay little or no taxes and receive more money from the public treasury than do the poor.
Our system of government assistance can be improved to curtail waste and cheating. but it will happen if and only if elected members in the Senate and the House of Representatives work on the same issues with the same intent and without the weight of political grandstanding. Welfare cheaters should be eliminated. Some are too lazy to work. Some children who grow up depending on welfare do become adults who see government assistance as an entitlement that they pass on to their children.
However, not everyone who receives public assistance in the form of federal and state dollars are lazy blacks and illegal brown immigrants. Most are white Americans. Some are lazy white conservatives on the Christian right living in states that vote for conservative Republicans--states that year in and year out receive more in federal dollars that they pay in federal taxes. Neverthess, the amount of waste received by the poor, including the needy and working class cheaters pales in comparison to the billions received by corporations who give nothing back or at best give very little back.
Jesus said that that the poor will always be with us. But did Jesus Christ place any angry conditions on helping the poor and needy? Would The Christ have problems with any of these examples of aid to the poor?
1. Giving aid to a person or to a family that finds itself in dire straits. Like the parable of the good Samaritan, isn't that the Christian thing to do?
2. Providing public assistance whose goal is to lift the spirit and physical well being of the poor and needy.
3. Offering government assistance to provide additional educational opportunity and cultural experiences that give hope and help lift poor children--red, white, yellow, black, and brown--out of poverty.
4. Providing public assistance to any segment of society that, without that assistance, would remain in dire straits.
Helping does not mean giving poor lazy people the right to feed from the public treasury to get rich or even to get along without engaging in available work. It does not mean giving money to undeserving undesirables on either side of the political divide. On the other hand we understand that no effort to contribute to the common good is totally free from pitfalls and potential abuse by the poor, the not so poor, and the very rich--abuse we all should be willilng to guard against and help eliminate.
But, as Stephen Colbert so eloquently said: "If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it". | 2019-04-18T10:31:24 | https://www.benniewiley.com/2014/05/jesus-christ-rebukes-the-christian-right.html | [

I was asked to make a lovey blanket, about half the size of a regular baby blanket. She wanted it for her little one to be able to carry around, without tripping over, or so big it dragged all over the ground.
Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful..
If you know me at all, you know I love Christmas. I love Christmas so much that I tend to get so excited for it, and phase over Thanksgiving. I do this, but in all reality, I have a great deal to be thankful for.
I have a big MOMMY FAIL to admit. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there. I can't be. The teacher in me is surprised at myself actually. But here it is.
Crochet Tiger Hat Pattern - FREE!!!
If you have a preschooler, you have probably heard of the infamous Daniel Tiger. I have to admit, it's actually a really cute show. The song is catchy, and an homage to the well loved "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." There are not many patterns out there for this adorable character so I decided to make one up on my own.
Are you trying to find a new sitter? Are you trying to figure out some good questions to ask? Everybody's situation is always a little different but maybe my questions will help you out.
My 21 month old son was sick last week. He had a low fever the first 3 days of which I really didn't even notice unless I was hugging him because his body was so HOT. He acted fine though! He was running around and eating like nothing was wrong. I called and the nurse line at the doctors office and they said to call back in a few days if he still has it. The nurse just said he was fighting something off and it's body is doing what it needs to. I could give a little tylenol or ibuprofen to help the fever, but there wasn't any concern at all.
How cute is this little unicorn? I had a customer ask me if I could make one for her and she showed me a few pictures of what she was looking for. She wanted something small enough to go on top of a diaper cake, but still big enough for a baby to grow and cuddle with. This is what I came up with. I don't often share patterns like this for free, but it's just so cute that I wanted everyone else to enjoy in the magic of this Unicorn! So here's my FREE Crocheted Unicorn Pattern. If you would like to buy this already made you can here at MY STORE.
I love watching Shark Tank. It's a great show. I always tend to put myself in the seats of the judges. Would I bite on that business or not? There are definitely some that make me wonder how they even got on the show though. Like the other day I saw one with a fake phone. They said its the Pet Rock of our time. I mean really? Mostly, though, I'm sitting there thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?", or " What can I create?" These entrepreneurs just found a problem, and solved it with new items.
I love these crochet memes. I'm just going to leave them right here so you can enjoy them all as well!
In a previous post I talked about our decision of trying to cut out as much sugar as possible from our diets. One of our favorite meals has been Nachos. We don't look at the calories anymore, just the sugar intake. You can purchase all these ingredients with no sugar, you just have to look. I can buy all this stuff at our local grocery store, but if for some reason you cant, then any of the "organic" type stores (Lucky's, Trader Joes, etc..) should have them. Even my extremely picky 7 year old loves this meal!
Proud Mama: No more pull-ups!
I'm pretty laid back when it comes to potty training. At least I have been with my middle child, Lilly. I had my third baby when she was 2.5 so although it would have been nice to have her in underwear, I really did not have the time, or energy, to get her potty trained.
We tried here and there at first, and she kept having accidents. Finally, she was pretty much potty trained soon after she turned 3, and was entering school. From day 1 at school, she was in underwear. The teachers were fine with it which was great. She had a few weeks where she had a couple of accidents, but soon we were finally there.
A while ago, my husband and I went to see Kevin Smith at a comedy show. He was there to make people laugh, of course, but surprisingly, he also made people think about their health. He took us on his journey of weight loss. I don't know if you've noticed, but he has lost quite a bit of weight! It was pretty simple how he did it too. He stopped eating sugar. That's it. Taking sugar out of his diet made him a healthier, leaner person.
Being a stay at home mom is great! I love being with my babies, and being able to take care of all of the family stuff.
I try to help make a little money any way I can to help out. I'm pretty busy throughout the day with one thing or another, so I needed to find something that I can pick up at any time of the day to work on. I have my crocheting business, but sometimes, when it's slower, I wanted to have something else that I could do.
FREE Mickey Mouse Glove Applique Crochet Pattern!!
Recently, I've been making different characters into Easter/Halloween baskets. I have an order for a Mickey Mouse one and I wanted to add some gloves to it. I went to look for a basic pattern to guide me, but there were no patterns for crocheted Mickey Mouse glove appliques. So I decided to whip some up and post the free pattern here for anyone else who may need some! Enjoy!
I feel like I should be playing Eminem's "Cleaning Out My Closet" as I write this.
I think that song would be too short for how long this took though. SO, as I mentioned in a previous post, I bought a lot of overstock on bathroom items at a closing grocery store the other day.
The problem, though, is that I didn't have any space for them!
We have a grocery store in our area called Marsh. It is by far the least shopped at store, and surprisingly we had two in our town. Kroger, Target, Walmart, and the plethora of whole food type stores definitely have covered the grocery market in our town. Why we had two Marshes is beyond me. Not surprisingly, one of them recently announced that they were going to close down, and all of a sudden, the parking lot was packed!!
On my way to becoming a teacher again!
I passed my Teacher exams!!
I love to crochet. Obviously, I am The Crocheting Mom after all! Up until recently though, I've gotten my patterns from other people. Then I started to figure out my own way to make things, but never really wrote it down. I've had people ask me before for my patterns, but they were written in scribbles, or my notes on the computer, in a sequence that only I would be able to understand. Until now. These past few months I've started to create my own patterns.
For me, having one baby was easy. Then, the transition from one child to two children was also extremely do-able. So, I figured, adding one more to the mix would be a breeze!
Boy was I in for a wake up call when I had my third!!!!
There are a lot of reasons you may need to make a pom pom. They are cute accessories you can add to any craft project that you may be doing. I make them often with my crochet projects. Here are a few of my items that I have added pom poms to.
Notice that there are all different sizes though. I have a couple of different ways in which I go about making these pom poms that can create different styles and sizes. | 2019-04-26T01:47:32 | http://www.thecrochetingmom.com/2016/ | [

Canadian research ethics: Caught in a quagmire of privacy legislation?
This article, from the National Post (September 24) revisits, again, the cry from researchers that overzealous privacy legislation, at both federal and provincial levels, are preventing researchers from accessing individuals and databases. This quick overview of an article originally in the Canadian Journal of Public Health (July- August 2008, A. Harris et al) illuminates two important points that researchers and REBs continue to agonize over.
First, privacy legislation is making it difficult, if not impossible to access data that previously was available to researchers, even anonymized data stripped of all possible identifiers.
Second, and most importantly, the privacy legislation is difficult for many to understand and therefore, is applied and interpreted very differently by different agencies, data stewards and, I would add, REBs and researchers, who are obligated to understand the legislation as applied to specific situations, agencies, information across a variety of contexts.
True enough, the legislation is more than difficult for even smart people to interpret. The “basic reader” on Canadian privacy laws published by the Canadian government that I keep on my desk is thick and heavy with enough very small print to make it a daunting task to try to find an answer to the simplest question. It makes a great paperweight but is not overly helpful in my own interpretation and application of the Acts.
According to the Canadian government, Canada has the most comprehensive privacy legislation in the world. Few would argue with that. At a federal level, there is PIPEDA and the Privacy Act. In addition, provinces and territories have their own privacy legislation statutes, and even the most educated persons are not always quite sure whether federal legislation trumps provincial or vice versa, on an ad hoc basis.
Ontario, interestingly enough, has both PHIPA (The Personal Health Information Protection Act) and FIPPA (The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act). PHIPA allows for the protection of the privacy of persons and the confidentiality of their personal health information. FIPPA is designed in part to protect individuals’ identifiable information held by institutions, guide institutions on how to handle information and allow individuals access to the information that an institution holds about them.
Most REBs in Ontario are involved with applying both PHIPA and FIPPA when reviewing researchers’ plans on accessing personal data and health information. Most researchers have to work within the constraints of FIPPA and/or PHIPA to access individuals and information. But it is a laborious task for all concerned. And many people aren’t even sure which act is which if they aren’t engaged with privacy issues on a daily basis.
I was also amused to find that while everyone refers to FIPPA phonetically, some also pronounce the acronym for the Personal Health Information Act (PHIPA) exactly the same, correctly pronouncing the “ph” as a “f”. Yet more confusion, no doubt, probably quite unknowingly, in many conversations….
While there are certainly clear distinctions between the Privacy Act, PIPEDA, PHIPA, FIPPA and other provincial statutes, it remains that the legislation created with the laudable aim of protecting Canadian citizens is unclear, the separate Acts can be difficult for both lay persons and academics to untangle and many institutions and agencies are either not applying the Acts at all, or interpreting and thereby applying them in an incorrect way. The valuable objectives and good intentions of protecting private information and those most vulnerable to a breach in privacy are obscured against a backdrop of confusion and a lack of guidance and clarity by governing bodies. | 2019-04-23T14:43:00 | https://researchethicsblog.com/2008/10/07/canadian-research-ethics-caught-in-a-quagmire-of-privacy-legislation/ | [

I wrote something yesterday while I was feeling pretty energized. I sat myself down and let the feeling be. At some point I really felt the urge to write, I mean, I scoured my desk for a pencil because I didn't want to miss something.
I ended up posting it on a closed group that I am a part of on FB. I posted a reply to show where I was coming from, after seeing the time that I posted it I think I rolled my eyes a bit... "As if!"
Still don't know why, and if I add up all the things where I'd say "still don't know why" I could summarize that there's a bigger picture. Something of a positive distraction while nature works at her pace.
there's another curious thing that happens when I get worked-up or feel like I am getting pulled down. It's likely that I've mentioned this before. Songs play in my head, very specific songs with lyrical content that (though subjective and absolutely biased ) speak to my exact situation. I'd be worried if the hints were negative, but they are always trying to life me up. I think it's pretty cool and it makes me smile.
She said "I'll take you some place where I know it will change"
"Arise, remove your earth, shake off your dust, raise yourself, that you may travel in company with the spirits, for your wings are those of a falcon, your gleam is that of a star..."
'It is man's duty not to acquiesce in his merely human state, but rather, in the strength of his contemplation of things divine, to scorn and despise the mortal part which has been attached to him because it was needful that he should keep and tend his lower world.
'If man takes upon him in all its fullness the function assigned to him, that is, the tendence which is his special task, he becomes the means of right order to the Kosmos, and the Kosmos to him.'"
I am pasting something Roger wrote to Jan because it fits well with my previous post. I was looking at older posts and found this. I also found one where you mention basically what is happening right now with the US and Syria. Sorry if this moves about in too many directions but I feel the need to post it in this way.
Let’s be a little provocative: to me, a grown up human being is someone who naturally relates to the ‘Unus Mundus’ because doing this has become a fully integrated function corresponding to a bilateral or reciprocal need: the need to consciously feel one’s working belonging to the universe, and the need for the universe to be consciously recognized in its living relatedness, Eros.
So paradoxically in the culmination of 'amour-propre', self-love, where we in some ways seek nothing but our own good and own well-being, the ego and its will principle become so 'immersed' and unified with the greater field of energy, that they 'vanish' alltogether, because there is nothing egoic that 'stands out' anymore, and the sense of self-ness becomes condensed to its most basic form of simple 'being'.
As any natural growth process, Unio corporalis requires time. It also requires conscious acceptance.
What I mean by ‘natural relation’ is that the relating process has become integrated, that is to say ‘works’ as a ‘natural function’, another ‘sense’.
Of course the personality shift it implies is the fruit of this progressive growth process. On this path paved with abandoned ego desires, the (pavlovian? ) wish for bliss eventually finds its place as something else unfolds.
The ‘crystal body’ is not the exclusive treasure of some people considered as ‘holy hermits’. (If they are ‘holy’ it is because they are “whole-y”, and no saint at all by the way). It also permeates, filtrates through, and finally gilds the surroundings of the life of ‘simple beings’ as you put it. It is, and incarnates in the acts (not necessarily ‘deeds’) of the individuals concerned.
Was reading something of Remo's work tending to the Child archetype.
I had to laugh a bit, seems I was setup (life conditions) to have to deal with it.
My impression was that out of two images the child appears, yet split, and is the next image to contend with.
*I'm putting my own words to that to give a description of what it feels like. "Image"
Edit: I had the chance to speak with my parents about being adopted. Many interesting things came from that. In the conversation I explained that this heartbeat that formed me I had no choice to become unfamiliar with regardless of how much love they gave me when I was young. It's not their "fault" that I have things to deal with in that regard, I said. My dad said "you were our chosen son".
This morning (in the shower!) I remembered the gift I received from them on my 1st birthday, a drum (a new beat).
*edit: just read (today, Monday) that everything in nature is dual - 4.
"So maybe Hillman was right. We don’t have to ground the puer out of fear for his extravagances. Wait a while, and life will bring him closer to earth."
How's this for a type-o?
Lapis Philosophorum: Also known as the ultima materia, aqua permanens (=its libido aspect), rubedo tinctura, filius macrocosmi or philosophorum, quinta essentia, panacea, medicina catholica, rotundrum, elixir vitae, lapis exilis (stone of no worth), everlasting food): the Philosopher's Stone, prized goal of alchemy. According to legend, the Stone, a freed form of the spirit of Mercurius trapped within the prima materia or initially unprocessed raw material, grants immortality, heals all disease, and transforms base metals into gold. Jung saw it as a Self symbol--one compensating Christ--and the goal of individuation.
Zeus was heavy-handed at times, as a result I had difficulty in storms because I was afraid to get hit by lightning.
Might not be good to carry that with me, or maybe I should just to let it clear. i am unsure about that.
Might as well keep the ball rolling.
There are a couple of people who helping me with an intense time. I feel pretty blessed in a lot of ways.
One song sent me on a search and I ended up here.
Call me crazy, go ahead, nothing can take this away from me.
I wrote on a FB group page that I've wept what felt like blood on my drums. I just read this page and I guess it makes more sense.
*btw, I'm tired of talking about them.
this morning I was wondering if individuation was the culmination of Romanticism, it was a totally random thought - I've never really studied Romanticism. I started to search that idea and found some really (really) cool stuff.
Hi, I hope everyone who still reads here is doing well.
I have an interface that allows me to play into my computer and record the random stuff that I am trying to process. Anyway, the other day I was playing and looking at the guitar strings vibrate. At that time I was playing something I thought was pretty cool, and thought that I should stop the recording and make a note about it. I stopped the recording at the 137th bar (I didn't see the screen, just reached up and pressed the space bar). This is meaningful to me because I felt really good about what I was playing!
there's something I wanted to write about on the day it happened but I've let it sit for a while. Just now I felt compelled to write about it.
I often read Gregory's posts and find some ideas in there that are very similar to things I may have been contemplating at the time, etc. Well, this last one was pretty vivid. I was walking my dog and kind of laughed at a random idea that came up. I was thinking of some kind of peg leg person playing some kind of pirate music. I don't know why but I felt it was comical, and I could visualize it pretty well.
Shortly after that day I came across Gregory's post talking about the golden peg leg. Ok, fine, similar theme. Why the hell would I think about it in time with that post?
I've looked at it a bunch of ways and I still just have to let it be. Not sure what to make of it, if anything at all.
Pascal, I am glad to see you posting about complex and deeply meaningful synchronicities. I have been experiencing lots of them many times a day for several months. Other people I know in person or online are also having visions and encountering new people in their every day lives who are also surprisingly having deep spiritual aspirations recently arising in them. I have been thinking frequently of our deceased blog mate Ann Elliot. She wrote mystical books that are still posted online by her family. I think there is one I read a few years ago... and in a recent dream I heard an inner voice say that I will discover answers to some of my deepest concerns from Ann in a very specific book... I will recognize when I go to see again what it might be. Thank You for your continuing participation all these years in preserving the Ann/Suzanne Blog. I have two wonderful daughters nearby where I live... but you in effect are like a wonderful son at a distance who shares all of our similar devotion to knowing we have a purpose in our lives now and most likely will be in the same afterlife locale together.
thanks for a being like a mom at a distance! I can't even describe how much I have learned from you and this forum, it's pretty amazing.
For instance, again, Greg's posts. I recently wrote the words PANIK to you in a message about an event I attended (that word was part of a synchronicity). Now I read his latest post and laughed out loud.
I suppose I just have to settle in to the fact that it's all connected.
*edit: after submitting my post I read it. The image fit so perfectly with the idea of a "mom at a distance"!
Today I read the most recent post in Gregory's thread. I swore, I got up, and I walked away from my desk.
Why o why, that's all I can say. I don't mention mana for I don't know how long and there it is.
I posted on FB this morning on a thread by a Jungian named Craig, it was about Elijah and Mana.
I know where I'm stuck. Why? The only song I've ever recorded and put spoken word to is a song I named THESEUS. I had no idea what Theseus was about when I named it.
Just read another thread, I wonder if the forum will close?
I hope not but it is a possibility. You must feel a little lonely now on the forum.
A little, but it’s ok, we have our reasons. For the past couple of years I thought to let it go, but this magical life keeps offering reasons to stay.
It’s weird, I just thought to post here because of a song lyric that I am listening to. I debated it because - not sure why.
Hi All, Actually it was not us but Remo who started the Ann-Suzanne Blog. He clipped it off from an earlier thread. Of course many of our old faithful posters here and throughout the rest of Unus Mundus no longer post. Some reasons have been that they were moving into work situations and would not be making personal experiences and opinions open to be read by folks wandering in who do not become posters. One of the largest reasons for less devoted posting is, that sadly to us who loved them, many have died over several years mostly from old age. Some of those persons were among our most spiritual as well as intellectual posters. A few people in my personal life have asked me about the forum. I trusted them to come and read. They all replied that this is an amazing forum with wonderful posts that are superior to many new age books about the esoteric topics we have created and maintained I suppose for about 10 years now. I call all of this forum, not just Ann-Suzanne, but instead -- THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WORLD SOUL. One person in my family says it has so much astonishing information that the individual comes by once in awhile and reads more pages. However I do not think that any few people I might know are the ones bumping up the number of readers of our present Ann-Suzanne. Just a very few months ago, I commented to two family members that I expected the number of drop-in readers to reach over 200,000 soon. The number is now actually more than that. Every time we two post, there is a kind of surge of readers. I do not know who they are or why they are likely coming back and not just brand new viewers. Once in awhile I go to various entire forum topics and read some of the very oldest posts from when there were mostly then only a few members and then more coming in and joining in for months or years. It is actually a very fast surge within a day or two of new posts. Perhaps somebody may post who and why they come after reading my comment here. Actually every day and every night, I use the belly brain meditation method that Remo taught us all in the beginning of this wonderful gathering place. It has been a blessing to me and many old friends who were here years ago even if they are not with us any more. If there is a real afterlife, Ann and I wrote emails about probably meeting again over there in the dimension suitable to our mutual ideals and devotions.
Today I realized that it is good that I don’t want to excomunicate the church from me. Christ is the pure light, Mercurius is its complement. If it takes over the light, then, I suppose it is a false light.
Revealing itself in self-discovery. I asked recently “what is the subtrate onto which my thoughts are placed” - it is Mercurius.
Not sure where to post this.
In the past 36 hours or so I feel like Neo in the matrix. I’m tired from the info. Yesterday morning when I was coming out of sleep I heard a very loud popping sound, like snapping out of something, vacuum-like.
Tired, but not exhausted, keeping my limits as best as I can.
Art thou noble to receive?
Know this: I, Mercurius, have here set down a full, true and infallible account of the Great Work. But I give you fair warning that unless you seek the true philosophical gold and not the gold of the vulgar, unless you heart is fixed with unbending intent on the true Stone of the Philosophers, unless you are steadfast in your quest, abiding by God’s laws in all faith and humility and eschewing all vanity, conceit, falsehood, intemperance, pride, lust and faint-heartedness, read no farther lest I prove fatal to you. For I am the watery venomous serpent who lies buried at the earth’s centre; I am the fiery dragon who flies through the air. I am the one thing necessary for the whole Opus. I am the spirit of metals, the fire which does not burn, the water which does not wet the hands. If you find the way to slay me you will find the philosophical mercury of the wise, even the White Stone beloved of the Philosophers. If you find the way to raise me up again, you will find the philosophical sulphur, that is, the Red Stone and Elixir of Life. Obey me and I will be your servant; free me and I will be your friend. Enslave me and I am a dangerous enemy; command me and I will make you mad; give me life and you will die.
This will be a shorter reply tonight. I will add more tomorrow. Where I live near Washington DC, we had an alert this afternoon that a serious tornado was coming our way. That ended for some hours what I wanted to write about the topic right above here from my blog mate. If World War Annihilation takes place sometime soon, because of the insanities going on among many nation leaders and religious leaders who literally want to have the "End Times"... even though supposedly predicted in ancient times... come true specifically in our current time. I was very young just out of high school when I started college in Washington D.C. We young people in the Girl's Apartment house were terrified. It was the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. There was a famous movie called "On the Beach" that portrayed a rather small group of people who had not been blown up like the rest of our world but were gathering together on the open sand areas while waiting in horror that the clouds of radiation would soon come their way and kill them. There was also the grim song that "we will all go together when we go... as there would be no living humans anywhere else on our blasted and poisoned planet. With all the far more powerful nuclear weapons that are horded by several nations, once the first attacks begin, all the other leaders who have their own nukes will join in the launches.
THE END OF US ALL. Well, I started reading about history, religion, what happened in earlier centuries and why can't we figure out how to prevent this heartbreaking end of various men, women, and children who were at least sometimes capable of love, kindness, helping others, and at least trying to understand about the other races, religions, and numerous political fanaticisms. I still have hundreds of books that I was reading from around age 15 and trying to figure out if there was any purpose to our lives at all. This week in my Senior Residence, I am seriously trying to get rid of piles of old documents and letters, but I keep on finding and wanting to hold on to the ones that gave me some concepts of faith and caring about people of all backgrounds. Today I got an email that is offering new additions to one type of books that I studied in a Edgar Cayce group where I lived some decades ago. For now I am only pasting in here what the email said just before I was on my way to a safe room to hide from the tornado that of course tends to stir up fears of an abrupt end of our lives while we still want more time with our children and grandchildren.
Are you looking for a deeper understanding of your spiritual nature and your place in the universe? Decades ago, a group of ordinary individuals were seeking the same answers to life’s questions that are still sought by many of us today. What the Edgar Cayce readings had to offer was a broader view as seen from the perspective of our higher selves—where there is no division, no separation by religion, only oneness. This view incorporates the philosophies of the world into a practical daily application for living that brings hope and profound change into the lives of those who apply it.
Hi Suzanne, What I wanted to ask is: have we talked about Carl Rodgers. Maybe Rodgers is one of the many interested in whatever we seem to be getting more deeply involved in. I got fascinated with the Urantia material today that I had heard of before but never taken the time to try and understand its origin or purpose and today why Wieman's ideas would be incorporated in it. If as they say it was written or compiled for a time after the present crises through which civilization is passing then this would suggest that his ideas which were probably too far ahead the more popular 20th C theologians (for instance Tillich and Barth) his Process concepts are right for the universal perspective of the future.
Hi Ann, I think we are on to something with Wieman and Carl Rodgers for instance that is at least very important to our own spiritual progress but will probably be helpful to others too. Also at some point, maybe it would be the time to add the Wink material, as the disciples' feeling of Jesus' continuing presence possibly can be tied into the notion of the "communion of saints" in which love and inspiration can still be shared between those of like mind and heart whether still alive or deceased. Offhand, I think Wieman, Russell, and others probably are aware of our efforts. In my last E-mail to you I gave an example about the others who may be helping Lee and Bob in their communications with us.
Quote: Who are these many? He (Lee) said that my learning to understand about the often symbolic and synchronistic nature of our communications, which can lead to misunderstandings at times, is an ongoing process, and we will get better at it as we go along. I asked again, who are the many, who are some of them? He replied, do you remember who was always talking about how we are all in an ongoing process in our development? I thought about it... Dana Roblee (the professor who was Lee's best friend) used to say, we are in a process of becoming, the outcome of which we cannot know and which is probably infinite. Yes, Lee replied, Dana is one of the many with me. But, who else I asked? He said, listen carefully now, you will hear who else. I thought I heard a faint tune, but it seemed to me a song without words. I could not think of any words. Since I was alone in the room where I was, I began to imitate the tune softly out loud, lalalala-lala-lalala-lala... well, at that I suddenly burst into tears... and I said, Jack! (my half brother from my father's first marriage who was born in 1919 - 24 years older than I was). He used to whistle that tune when he came over to see our father when I was little. It was "Lili Marlene", the song that German and American soldiers both loved. Jack had been in World War II and accepted German surrenders because he knew German fluently, and later he was a noted professor who had written about the rise of Hitler. In late 1979, I had a dream that I should send a birthday card to my brother Jack, his and my birthdays were one day apart, but he had lived far away all my adult life and I had rarely ever seen him. I sent the card. He wrote back and for the first time mentioned our father's funeral and some other personal things we had never talked about. The next July 4th, Jack died suddenly at age 60, in 1980. So, Lee, said, yes, your brother is another one of the many who are with me.

I was searching info on the transcendent function and saw this as I was scrolling. This is something I should have read long ago considering that I post about it here.
Hello Everybody, As usual I have been busy with practical matters in my everyday life. Now since I am well settled into my new residence, it is much easier for me to be organizing the esoteric material from my old hand-written notebooks going back to from the 1960s to the late 1990s. My Blog mate Ann Elliott, when she was still alive and posting here for several years, used to exchange private emails with me about personal and family topics, or if either of us was sick or traveling, but we usually did not plan specific topics because that would ruin the "meaningful coincidence" of the Blog and some other topic threads on the rest of the forum. She knew from my telling her by email who Lee was and, as mentioned here before a few times, she received dictation communication from her deceased husband Bob Elliott who had studied to be a Shaman with Michael Harner. At first her husband reported that he knew of Lee's work with others in the Beyond but that he did not know Lee because they were on a different level. This below is a copy of her post from 2008. First for any forum newcomers, I should mention that Ann and Bob had met Lao Russell, widow of Walter Russell, in person when Lao was visiting and lecturing in California near to where Ann and her husband lived. Lao and Ann wrote many letters to one another for quite a number of years. Many of the vibrational sound combined with color healers of today derived part of their inspiration from Dr. Russell who was a classical organist himself and from his scientific charts and psychedelic cosmic paintings -- well before the hippies and other young interdimensional travelers were reporting such experiences widely in our American culture. I live in Virginia only several hours away from the beautiful Swannaoa Palace in Waynesboro Virginia where the Russells lived for several decades. I have been there many times over the years and had talks and walks with Lao Russell in person without being in a group visit. Since Lao passed on, there are some but not many of us older people aged 60 to 90 years old who knew her. Later this year, I am planning to meet up with some of those oldsters and the middle aged and much younger folks who know of and admire the teachings of Lao and Walter. With all the present fears about the possibility of worldwide nuclear war in our time, the Russell 1950s book Atomic Suicide is being read by newer generations. Finally below is the complete post that Ann wrote here in 2008. She is of course now wherever Bob is on the other side or in what ever higher realm they have moved to since then.
Quotes from Bob by dictation through Ann who had also been Bob's secretary during his years as a lawyer. START: I have had no direct contact with Suzanne's friend Lee but I am aware of his presence here and the importance of his work and contribution. So much more can be accomplished when there is a conscious and deep love--such as we have—connection . She can and is assisting him and the larger work he is part of. I can tell you very little, both because I know little, understand less, and would not in any event be permitted to. However, she has the ability for direct communication with him and it should be through writing down what he instructs her as to how she can help him. Tell her about your work in Scotland in establishing the triangle. It is such a small piece of the puzzle we were given to work on/with. . . .
There are a number of things I'd like to write about but I was searching some stuff in my computer just now and realized that I had a copy of Holy Wedding.
-what is the deeper significance of synchronicity? Remo says it is BCI. Ok, well, I have a lot of them. Ridiculously meaningful ones.
I want to know what to do with them, if that makes any sense. Follow them, yes, but mine are related to things that I do not fully understand. Perhaps I have gained some understanding of the qm subject along the way that I did not have before, but it's not like I'll make a career out of it. Anyway, synchronicity is incarnation in the mind, and bci incarnation in matter..
This might be for future reference.
Edit: I guess there are times that I’d like to thank them as well. | 2019-04-23T10:51:46 | http://unus-mundus.fr/viewtopic.php?f=19&p=16394 | [

What are they going to do to Itch?
It is strange that chair keeps changing.
Im glad that I wasnt the only one to notice.
The chair is more the gag than the gag.
Who knew that itch could be so cute at times?
What did itch do to get on these sharks’bad side?
Borrowed money, and never paid it back. They’re “loan sharks”, a term for people who lend money at excessive rates, usually illegally, and usually tied to organised crime.
I see what you mean now. Thanks for explaining that to me. I didn’t think that itch would have to pay them back with his body.
I don’t have a problem with that. It is kinda funny and kinda hot.
I wonder how Javier and Itch had met? | 2019-04-25T03:56:18 | http://www.liecomic.com/comic/comic/loan-shark-4/?replytocom=188 | [

The days of weight training being the domain of body builders, professional lifters and muscled-up gym junkies are gone. No matter what age you are, incorporating weights into your exercise routine can bring many health benefits.
Of course, before beginning any new exercise or weight training program, you must speak to your physician first.
Did you know that somewhere in your 30’s you start to lose muscle mass and function. This condition is known as age-related sarcopenia. This leads to a loss of strength and mobility. accelerating as you get older. Consistency and frequency of weight training is key to building muscle – more so then the actual weight lifted – which is more focused on strengthening muscles.
Who doesn’t want to burn those calories? When you lift weights, the muscle you build is more effective at burning calories than the fat in your body. Muscle is effective at burning calories even as you sleep. Lean muscle mass is what we are after.
Related to the previous point, your metabolism refers to how much energy you use up at rest. When you lift weights, you increase the amount of energy your body uses at rest, and the effects of this stay with you for many hours after you end your workout routine. Studies show weight lifting increase your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) for up to 24 hrs post trailing.
As people age, the chances of developing osteoporosis (brittle, porous bones) increases. This is especially true of women who are past childbearing age.
By adding weights to an exercise regime, it works to keep bones healthy. This is because the muscles and tendons pull on the bones, causing the body’s bone cells to produce more bone.
It is widely accepted that cardio exercise is beneficial for your heart. However, new studies are showing that weight lifting also helps your heart by resulting in healthy reductions in blood pressure for longer times than doing cardio alone.
When you strengthen your muscles, you are increasing support to your joints. This can aid with lessening pain and stiffness in joints.
Exercise and weightlifting both result in increased levels of dopamine and serotonin – “the feel-good chemicals” in your brain. These are the same chemicals that antidepressant medications raise levels of in your brain.
You can also experience improved mood with the stress release that comes with having a good workout and weightlifting session.
Lifting weights is not just for men. Increasingly more and more women are lifting, but there are still those with concerns that they are going to “bulk up” and look like a bloke.
If you are doing a couple of sessions a week in the gym… Arnie you will NOT be!
Another important note to make. If you are on a weight-loss program – the scales will likely be your enemy – muscle is always going to be heavier than fat – if you compare the same mass.
But you’ll find that while you build muscle, your overall size is likely to decrease. It’s highly possible to lose very little on the scale 3 dress sizes smaller! Base your progress on measurements and body composition not the weight on the scales.
So it’s definitely worthwhile to incorporate weight training into your weekly training if you want to step up your fitness training, improve health as you age or tone up and reduce body size. | 2019-04-26T01:58:49 | http://agirlsguidetosuccess.com/7-health-benefits-weight-training/ | [

It may be noted that Air India's was the only service that plied between Madurai and Mumbai.
Some passengers pointed out that all the tickets used to be sold out during the festive season and summer.
Chennai: Much to the chagrin of air passengers and traders of Madurai, Air India announced the temporary cancellation of its Mumbai to Madurai flight via Chennai from July 12 to July 31, citing low patronage to the service that has been catering to passengers of the southern districts for almost 42 years.
Although the announcement of cancelling AI671 (Mumbai to Madurai) and AI672 (Madurai to Mumbai) said that the cancellation has been done on a temporary basis, Air India sources said that the operation of the service from August 1 would be decided in the coming days. AI671 was taking off from Mumbai and reaching Chennai at 10.45 am every day from 1976.
The flight would leave for Madurai at 11.30 am. It was taking off from Madurai to reach Chennai at 2.15 pm. The decision was taken at a time when local passengers are demanding a direct service from Madurai to Mumbai.
“Private airlines are operating as many as 16 services between Chennai and Madurai. But Air India claims that the flight has low patronage. How can a private player operate flights without patronage? Air India is making way for private airlines,” a regular passenger alleged.
It may be noted that Air India's was the only service that plied between Madurai and Mumbai. “Many traders were using the Air India flight to send their jasmines, vegetables and other agricultural products to Mumbai for years. Withdrawing the flight service will hurt traders and farmers of the southern districts,” the passenger added.
Some passengers pointed out that all the tickets used to be sold out during the festive season and summer. “On normal days too, nearly 80 percent tickets were sold for the Air India flight. The claims of poor patronage made by the authorities are misleading,” they alleged.
Meanwhile, union minister Pon. Radhakrishnan said that he would talk to the Civil Aviation Minister to operate the existing flight service and an additional flight between Madurai and Mumbai. | 2019-04-22T02:24:07 | https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/120718/air-india-grounds-mumbai-madurai-flight.html | [

Worst girl, not caring about all these chains. Commissioned by the duke of tightness.
Not enough chains. Also needs a weight somewhere too.
Ah, no. I am not. Just a random one making a comment. | 2019-04-21T15:26:29 | https://www.deviantart.com/longhaired-chihuahua/art/Chains-and-Chains-743082032 | [

I was in class, when this happened. I remember getting into my van to go and grab something to eat and run home for a bit before my next class. The radio kept saying something about the pentagon. I didn't understand because the announcer was not forthcoming with any information. All I understood was that there was a fire. My thoughts turned to getting home and hopefully finding out what was going on.
Then I reached home and saw the unthinkable right there on my television.
I had made it home just 2 minutes before the first tower fell. I just remembered feeling lost. Should I go and get my children from school and daycare? Should I go back to class? Oh My God, what about my husband? Does he even know?
Then it happened again...Soon before I left to go back to class, the second tower fell.
I did continue my day. And as it went on, I saw more and more anger and sorrow among my classmates and even my instructors. Classes turned into full-blown discussions of what was happening to our nation. I remember seeing crowds around offices and classroom televisions, struggling to hear the latest news.
When I went to get my two smallest children from daycare, is when I think it finally hit home. I walked into my daycare provider�s home. It was quiet, as usual, because it was naptime. When I approached my provider�s living room, there she was just sobbing. It was then it hit. We just stood there, sobbing together�not saying a word.
Now that the anniversary grows closer and the TV replays those horrible images and the radio play those beautiful songs in remembrance, I will stop and thank God, again, for giving me my family, my friends, and my life. I will give my boys an extra hug and tell them for the ten-millionth time I love them. I will kiss and hold my husband a little longer before he goes to work. But most importantly I will go on, because if I let it get to me, they will win�and this American is not about to let them.
My wife and I were both at work on 9/11. Although our office was closed that afternoon for security reasons, we stayed at work to finish up various tasks. We both feel that the response of the public and the news media needs to be tempered by some reality. First, we kill many more people from auto accidents, alcohol and tobacco in this country than we ever lost on 9/11. Second, terrorism of this kind is endemic around the world and has killed many more than we lost on 9/11 and the US is just lucky it hadn't struck here more often. Third, we have enough home grown nuts who use terrorism to advance their agenda (think OK City, abortion clinics, militia's) that could just as easily have been the terrorists as muslims. Fourth, it is very apparent to us that the current generation of Americans has grown very soft and fails to account for the world outside our borders. Get over it. In our part of the US, life was normal on 9/10, 9/11 and 9/12 and ever since that time. We flew to a conference on 9/23 for a week and have flown many times since then. Traffic at our local airport dropped just 4% over the last 6 months.
As a veteran, I am proud of the NYC firefighters and policemen and our military response and glad to see returning serviceman acknowledged for their service as opposed to being heckled and spit on like my own experience during Vietnam. | 2019-04-26T00:31:04 | http://www.wherewereyou.org/search/?searchtype=location&searchtext=north+dakota | [

The personal "cloud" is the first step towards a virtual office | grreporter.info- News from Greece - Breaking News, Business, Sport, Multimedia and Video.
I often see people carrying large pads with them, their desks are piled with paper and the screen of computer is littered by sticky notes. On the other hand we are all mobile - literally and figuratively speaking – we are constantly in motion, our work is pursuing us even at home, we have computers from our work, mobile computers (laptop / notebook) we have smartphones, netbooks, tablets ... But we just do not have time to figure out how to make the most use of them!
I have been planning for a long time to write this article, through which I can show you how using a few free programs we can create a "virtual office". Recently, people talk a lot about the so-called "cloud computing". I promise it will not rain! Cloud computing enable us only through an Internet connection to use them wherever we are. In this way you will not have to call a colleague and ask him for a number of a client which we have written on a note, but we forgot the desk in the office. The programs that we will use and their application do not fully meet the definition of "cloud computing", but with a pure heart, we can say that will make our own, personal cloud.
When we download and install the program, it creates a folder on our computer, in which, whatever we place, is immediately synchronized with another computer where the program is also installed. Files are stored on the server of Dropbox and we can see them on their site, even without having installed on our computer the program, and for this purpose we must create an account. The free version gives us relatively little space of 2 GB, which however is enough for the purposes of this article and our personal cloud through which we will create a virtual office.
REMEMBER: For the tricks described below, to work, you must install Dropbox on every computer on which you wantto use them! It is mandatory to use the same account / registration / on each computer so as to see the same content that you synchronize.
I will not describe in detail how to install Dropbox, because they have prepared a wonderful presentation of how to use their service, which you can view at the end of the installation of the program.
We have already installed our cloud service and we are ready to synchronize ... what? I will offer you a small but very useful program that I have been using for years and serves me as my calendar, reminder and a list of tasks (To Do). I deliberately write the names in brackets because some of you may have used similar programs and can make a connection with them, as some users use the programs in English, others in Bulgarian. Rainlendar combines all these useful features and has one very big advantage: it can be seen directly on the desktop of your computer, allowing you to always see it in front of your eyes.
The program and more about its many useful features, you can find on the website of its author and you can also download it from there: http://www.rainlendar.net/. For many users, the free Lite version will be absolutely enough as well as for the purposes of this article. How to synchronize events and tasks that we input in our small Rainlendar calendar between all computers that we use, let’s say the one at home, in the office and the laptop? Of course, using Dropbox, which we have already installed on each computer and have created our Dropbox user account i.e. username and password.
IMPORTANT: Save the backup file in a folder of your choice, you may also do it in the folder of Dropbox. Do however mandatorily unzip the file into the folder of Dropbox! Dropbox will automatically synchronize it between all computers on which it is installed.
You can rename the extracted file. I've named min "Internet", and the downloaded calendar for the purpose of the article I named "PROBA". Now we have to ask for the Rainlendar calendar to use the shared calendar. It is very easy, here is how we do it: right click and press "Options" | 2019-04-20T02:22:50 | http://www.grreporter.info/en/personal_cloud_first_step_towards_virtual_office/4456 | [

I’m trying to get back into Revised to get ready for an upcoming tournament but I’m pretty rusty. What’s the meta on German Openings looking like these days?
I haven’t played Revised in a while (moved on to G40 like most people), but when I did everyone seemed to love dropping a Carrier in the Baltic G1 (to delay the UK Fleet for a bit).
Is this still the norm, or have their been major developments in the last 6 or so years?
hi! noone has answerd, so I would reccomend reading MarineIguanas posts in the thread. I have played a lot of games on BGO and can with confidence say that it is a very good answer.
Hi. Thanks for the reply!
Anyway, I’m going to quote MarineIguana here and ask a few questions with the hopes that either he or you can answer.
This is almost certainly more advice than you are looking for. I’m going to give you the secret for playing near perfectly as Germany. This is tried and tested against the best Revised Axis and Allies players in the world across more than 500 games.
Well that’s different right off the bat. From what I’m read in terms of tournament reports for this other tournament they’ve been giving the Allies a +3 bid for the last two or so years. I think the difference is that online Revised games are played under LHTR, while this tournament is on a stricter time limit (4 hours, 30 minutes which roughly translates to about 5-6 turns depending on how fast people are playing).
That being said if the meta at this tournament is just outright flawed I can probably take advantage of that.
The opening is what I’ve used as my standard for years now, so I’m assuming that any intelligent opponent I face will be using it (it’s the only way to not end up with Germany stacking Ukr. and winning with relative ease iirc).
One rough thing about all of this is that the tournament I’m prepping for is 100% luck (So someone can play perfectly and still lose because RNG). No tech though so that part is fine.
I’m assuming your goal is to maximize your probability of winning against an opponent.
More like holding on to at some group of Egypt/W. Europe/E. Europe/Ukr/Norway for 5 turns while Japan captures an equal or greater amount of Sink/India/Novo/Australia/Hawaii but same difference really.
The most common mistake I see with Germany players is that they think they’re on the offensive. In reality, Germany is a very defensive country that receives allied pressure, while Japan pressures Russia.
I remember when I was a noob and bought 8 tanks/turn as Germany. 2004 was a simpler time for sure.
1. buy almost all infantry. I usually spend 90+% of my germany IPC buying only infantry for the first 15-30 rounds. Eventually, Germany gets to a point where it can stack 3 territories with over 80 units each. This makes it difficult for UK to land and support Russia past round 30.
2. Prefer to attack and stack territories. This means moving a large force of units in an attack, so that the opponent can’t counter. Axis and Allies is inherently a zero-sum game, so you win by accumulating profit through income or battles. Generally, the most profitable battles are: attacking & stacking > trading efficiently > attack & retreat > doing nothing > trading inefficiently.
3. Try to keep Germany strong. It’s okay to make large trades against Russia, but avoid large trades with UK or USA unless it’s for a large profit. The most common way I win against top allies is to accumulate stacks of 100+ infantry as Germany. Japan accumulates as well around Persia. By round 30-40, Japan has 300+ units and eventually forces Allies off Russia.
While all of these points are valid that all aspiring A&A players should memorize, the rules of this tournament don’t give enough time to play out 100+ round slugfests, although the idea sounds pretty fun/masochistic. Reminds me of the Classic games I’d spend weeks playing after I read those papers on Inf stacking back in the day.
Standard buy for germany is 10 inf, 2 tanks.
This was already my build so that makes me happy.
Can you pull this off reliably with just 1 SUB, 2 FTR in a 100% luck scenario?
EDIT: I JUST MADE A HUUUUUGE MISTAKE!!!
The other fighter (from Balkans, as the Ukr one usually dies in the R1 Ukr attack) that can reach is needed for sz15. If you attack sz15, there’s a 15% chance the battle goes badly where the battleship transport needs to retreat or battleship gets traded against uk destroyer. If either scenario happens, the game is effectively over against a top player. I prefer not to auto-lose 15% of my games as axis.
Am I to assume everything else is being sent to Karelia? How much am I leaving in E. Europe to Deadzone Ukr? What’s the practical advantage of stacking Karelia over trying to hold Ukr reliably? Is it the potential to deadzone Norway (slowing Allied progress in a KGF)?
All fine, aside from my gripes over Karelia. What do you do if the USSR stacks Ukr R2? Germany can’t really attack W. Rus. (Since the stack in Ukr and the spawned units in Caucasus and Moscow can all dive on it.), and if you try to charge Archangel Russia has enough time to shift enough forces to Moscow to force the Germans back to Karelia. So at that point you’re just handing the Soviets Ukr for free, unless I’m missing something.
I’m not trying to come off as an elitist of A&A pro by any means, I’m just rusty and don’t know how to dynamic of the Eastern front as evolved over time.
By the way, what is BGO? I’ve only ever played A&A using TripleA.
I’ll give it a shot then! Maybe this tournament will be super easy after all!!
I agree with you in not stacking Karelia with Germany. It seems absurd to me. Was I reading MarineIguana’s advice wrong? He seemed to be advocating stacking Karelia on G1.
hi! Yeah, I think Marine is right.
There are two russian openers.
1. Only do W russia and stack it. Buy 3 inf and 3 Tanks.
2. Do W Russia and Ukraine.
If USSR does 1, you can’t stack Kareila, if he does 2, then you can stack karelia.
I think 2 is better for russia, but 1 is not uncommon, because it prevents stacking karelia.
I have my doubt about taking Ukrain in R1. So far I’ve not been lucky with this move! It cost me much more than i get for it! I wonder whether it is worth the risk! Why trading 2 tanks for this tank and fighter? The value of a russian tank seem much highter to me than a german one or even a fighter early game. I seem to be much better with Russia if i take WR and Belo Russia! Russia in my game is very well able to hold off Germany and Japan in the early game, until the Allies arrive!
I usually buy 2 INF/2 ART/2 TANK to make up for the tanks I’m losing by going into Ukr.
I switch to more INF-focused builds after R1, of course.
To me, any German FTR that I can take out is one less FTR that can go after UK’s navy. The less Germany has to throw at the UK Navy, the faster the UK can start landing (or threatening to land) troops in Norway/E Europe/Karelia/W Europe. And once UK starts forcing Germany to pull troops to guard those territories, the USSR will see a good chunk of weight lifted from its shoulders (meaning it can afford to send troops to India/Sink/kill Germany/whatever).
R1 I get 3 inf 3 tank.
That 3rd ftr is needed to schirmish on a 3 area front. USSR should in general have more tanks and less inf. The tanks are good because they can stand in w russia, and threathen any japanese stack apporaching. that will buy you a couple of extra turns at least.
The thing is: i have no problem putting any pressure on Germany when i don’t do Ukrain R1. For a couple of rounds Russia can keep agressive. I would buy 2 tanks R1. 1 FGT R2 and 1 tank in later rounds. With my 4 starting tanks i have a very potent force. In UK2 or 3 i start landing in Norway to support Russia. I don’t see how 6 fighters can stop me there. The ships in the mediteranean Sea are lost to me! The uk home fleet is quite save in the first turn. I use it as a base for my future fleet. Uk1 I build a carrier to expand the fleet. If all german units position to strike my fleet i buy more defence, or i combine with the US first! I position myself to strike the Baltic fleet at some point. After that it is not worth loosing the fighters at a sea battle that will cost the UK a few transports at most.
In the mid game Germany is focused mainly on landings from the Allies. Then Russia is starting to fight off the Japanese with his tanks. Russia has an income of around 26 IPC with which it can survive the mid game easily. End game he will be under great pressure from Japan! But if the Allies have normal luck and do nothing stupid, Germany is dead or close to it!
So my conclusion so far is that you sacrifice russian tanks for a chance on a german fighter, that would harm the UK a little bit. But the UK can counter this with a buy of an extra ship. In my philosophy that trade off is not so optimal.
The thing is: i have no problem putting any pressure on Germany when i don’t do Ukrain R1.
How do you keep the initiative if you’re letting the Germans escape Ukr G1? On G1 Germany can just withdraw the bulk of its forces to a E. Europe stack and start trading Ukr. while easily overwhelming the Allies in North Africa and ferrying a decent stream of units through the Middle East to ensure that India is securely in Japanese hands by J3. If you’re just sitting in Caucasus/W. Rus trading Ukr you’re giving Germany a free hand to do whatever they want elsewhere.
For a couple of rounds Russia can keep aggressive. I would buy 2 tanks R1.
1 FGT R2 and 1 tank in later rounds.
I agree with the 1 TANK/turn philosophy (to keep a mobile and offensive-capable army on the board at all times), but I don’t agree with the FTR on R2. I understand that you can feasibly snipe the Mediterranean Fleet with 3 FTR (or at least sink the transport) but if a competent Germany scouts a lack of land units what’s stopping them from pouncing on Ukr, Arch or W. Rus with everything (which in turn forces Russia to bring everything to the German front, giving the Japanese a free hand to take Sink/India/Persia).
With my 4 starting tanks i have a very potent force. In UK2 or 3 i start landing in Norway to support Russia. I don’t see how 6 fighters can stop me there.
Germany can either subsist without Norway or simply deadzone it by stacking Ukr. It’s going to take a decently large stack of Transports to pull together a large enough force to actively hold Norway.
The point of the FTR cloud isn’t to actually kill the UK Fleet (It can’t do that cost-efficiently), but to force the Fleet to remain in one place at a time (if any transports split off from the main fleet to land in far away places the FTRs and Bomber can easily wipe them out with a pretty minimal chance of a loss).
UK amphibs into Norway, taking 2 INF/2 ART. They kill a lone INF defender without losses.
Germany sends 3 INF + 6 FTR + 1 Bomber to attack Norway (a bit of a reach, but it’s for the sake of the example so bear with me here).
Under low luck, UK gets 1 hit and a 1/3 chance at a second (INF and ART defend on a 2, 24=8, 8/6 = 1 + 1/3). Germany will get 4 hits under low luck (31 + 63 + 14 = 25, 25/6 = 4 + 1/6).
So Germany will one-shot 14 IPCs worth of material while losing 9 overall (I’m assuming that the 1-2 INF that survive will die on the following British turn when they commit another landing party). That’s pretty good value if you ask me, especially if UK is committing 100% to Europe (and losing 7+ IPCs between India/Persia/Trans-Jordan/Egypt).
The ships in the mediteranean Sea are lost to me! The uk home fleet is quite save in the first turn. I use it as a base for my future fleet. Uk1 I build a carrier to expand the fleet. If all german units position to strike my fleet i buy more defence, or i combine with the US first! I position myself to strike the Baltic fleet at some point.
What’s your timetable for killing the Baltic, out of curiosity?
I usually try to have it dead by B2 (you can do it with a B1 FTR+Destroyer+Trans build).
Sometimes you have to delay until B3 if Germany goes with a naval opening, but in those kinds of games an aggressive USSR can usually win on its own.
After that it is not worth loosing the fighters at a sea battle that will cost the UK a few transports at most.
I agree, but remember the whole point of the pressure is to force the UK player to spend turns investing in a navy. This buys Germany much needed time to stack aggressively in the USSR’s direction, forcing them to keep their men focused on the Germans and giving Japan time to get its IPC levels up to snuff with the Allies/put a drain on the Soviet and British Economies.
But you’ve never inflicted a serious loss on German hardware in this scenario. All Germany has to do is build heavy INF stacks all day (with the occasional Tank thrown in to harass the Soviets), and the Allies are going to take an awfully long time to start hurting Germany.
Additionally, if Russia is sending 5-10 IPCs of Tanks East every turn what’s stopping Germany from moving the E Europe stack into Ukr and putting the Russians in a desperate situation (guarding Caucasus and W. Rus simultaneously).
TripleA gives the Soviets an 85% chance to win with, on average, both FTRs and a lone tank surviving.
So value-wise USSR loses 23 IPC (everything but the FTR) while the Germans lose 28. A USSR win no matter how you split it.
It seems like a narrow advantage but remember the USSR gets 3 of those IPCs back by virtue of taking Ukr.
I think you might be too defensive as the allies. I have quite a few games as the allies and rarely lose.
The reason for doing ukraine is simple. You save british fleet and can lock down the med fast. That German fighter is very important in the med and africa on G1.
Depending on the result of G1, should should have some very good options on UK1. I will assume germany did place 2 units in libya, sent the med fleet with 1 ftr to 15, while sending 1 inf + 1 art from italy and 1 bomber to egypt.
Germany will most likely have taken egypt and have about 4 landunits left. he will have 5 ftrs and 1 bomber (instead of 6 fighters and 1 bomber). Where germany has placed these 5 fighters is very important. Usually, germany will not be able to place all of the fighters in france/Libya.
I reccomend uk build in this situation of 1 ftr, 5 inf and 1 tank.
You can hit egypt with 2 inf from india, 1 from TJ, 1 ftr from india and 1 bomber from uk. This attack will usually kill every german unit there, and you will quite often have an inf left to take the terr. You can at the same time send your entire UK fleet to morocco. If US sends its fleet to help you, you will have a situation where germany only have 1 inf and 1 art in africa. while you will have 2 UK inf and 2 tank in morocco and 2 us inf, 1 us art and 1 us tank. Your fleet of morocco will be: 1 UK BB, 2 UK TT, 1 US DD, 2 US TT and 1 ussr sub. At this point The german fighterposition is vitally important. If he can reach with 4 ftrs and 1 bomber, you are safe, if he has 5 ftrs and 1 bomber, this move does not work.
At this point, the german position in africa is misrable. he has 2 landunits, you have 8, you will continue to shufle landunits down there until you have enough UK fleet to switch to the north. Those landunits will run as fast as they can to caucasuss, (you can ususally get between 10 and 30 landunits through before japan holds persia).
So, If you kill that ukrainian fitr, you will get one more round of reinforcements to caucasus and lock down africa on UK1. I have done this soo many times, and this is standard play among top players. The one wrench here is the german baltic fleet. A lot of germans will send it out on G1 to prevent this move. You have to be aware of it and calculate your fleet.
I think you have me backwards. I’m an advocate of striking Ukr. on R1. I do not like Russian Openings where you let Ukr. go.
I agree with you for the exact reasons you’ve stated.
Germany can easily place 4 FTRs in France and 1 FTR/1 BOMBER in Libya.
I’m more for a Navy build (1 DD/1 TT/1 FTR) on B1. I don’t build land units because I ferry the tank from Canada to UK and simply land 1 INF in Norway, supported by the air units UK starts with (1 INF/1 ART if the Germans left more than 1 INF there to defend). That way I have the spawn units to fill my transport fleet next turn for a harder landing somewhere.
time send your entire UK fleet to morocco. If US sends its fleet to help you, you will have a situation where germany only have 1 inf and 1 art in africa. while you will have 2 UK inf and 2 tank in morocco and 2 us inf, 1 us art and 1 us tank. Your fleet of morocco will be: 1 UK BB, 2 UK TT, 1 US DD, 2 US TT and 1 ussr sub. At this point The german fighterposition is vitally important. If he can reach with 4 ftrs and 1 bomber, you are safe, if he has 5 ftrs and 1 bomber, this move does not work.
You don’t even have to do that if you buy the fleet I suggest and move the Russian Sub to SZ6 (the one right next to the Baltic) on R2.
UK would lose the fleet to that attack but Germany only comes out with an average of 2 FTR. This means that Germany is effectively losing a large share of its air force to kill a fleet that the UK will happily rebuild on the very next turn.
In most games I’ve played Germany just uses the Medi fleet to snipe Ukr.
Are you sure the shuttle of troops from UK -> N. Africa -> Caucasus is the best option? Every turn you’re not threatening Europe is another turn Germany has to setup giant stacks and/or stack Ukraine.
I agree with these yes. Although if Germany sails its fleet out you can easily intercept and destroy it with the SZ2 Fleet (The BB and the TT) + the 2 FTRs.
Yes this delays your fleet uniting with the Americans but if you build navy B1 and move the Soviet sub to link up with the British R2 the combined fleet can easily repulse the 4 FTR/ 1 BOMBER Germany can send your way.
Wait, you’re really happy to trade Britain’s 1 BB / 1 DD / 3 TT for Germany’s 2 SS / 2 FTR?
Aside from the fact that you are trading 60 British TUV for 36 German TUV, if Germany positions the rest of its air force properly, then it can hit Britain’s next fleet with a minimum of 3 FTR / 1 BMR, or more if Germany built a new plane (not unreasonable when you know you’re ordering an immediate attack on the Royal Navy). What can Britain put in the water with one round of income that can stand up to that kind of follow-up attack?
Very rarely will I see a good player build a destroyer.
Hi all. Sorry for not replying in a while I’ve been busy with work and University.
On second thought that’s a horrible idea! Should probably have thought that through a little more before posting.
What would you say the optimal B1 buy/fleet move is, then? I know it’s a bit off-topic but I’ve only just started playing Revised again and haven’t had the most time to practice.
What do you propose UK buy instead of turn 1, then? A CV (landing the spawn FTRs on it for a decently rock-solid defense)?
I only ask because, while I understand that transport balls are the best option for naval combat, the initial UK Fleet is pretty lacking in terms of punching power (1 BB + 2 TT).
Even if you buy 3 TT (for a total of 1 BB + 5 TT), it’s still going to take another turn or two before that fleet will be able to get anywhere near the European coast.
no, Germany has 5 ftr and 1 bomber after you hit Ukraine. He has a good chance of loosing at least 1 ftr either against the UK BB, or the or against the uk DD in the med.
You are wasting an entire turn of the allies by not attacking on UK1.
I misremembered. The sub should block the german fleet if there is anything left of it after UK1, however, if germany have put their entire fleet outside france on G1, you will not be able to stop germany from adding the vital subs as fodder for the Gibraltar attack. This is why you need to look at the german position before you decide if you want to put your fleet at gibraltar.
Buying DDs is always bad. TTs are amazing combatunits in this game. Try running a combatsim with fighters against 1 BB and TTs, find out how many you need. It is alot. The DDs are really not worth the extra factor.
Yes :), but not through the entire game.
Round 1-5ish is when you ship to africa. Then, at some point, you swich uk to Norway. You will have saved up some cash and might buy the needed carrier when you do. At some point, you will no longer have a landrout to cauc. At this point, you should have at least 80 americans between morocco and cauc, and about 10 TTs. Then you move all of your TTs to the med, and start landing 20 units/ round in the weakest spot you can find on the mainland. At the same time, uk will round 10 units per round, germany will collapse like a house of cards. I have done this countless times against good players (this is what happens when you win against them).
This is why you look at the map. most germans are not set up for it. To be set up for it, they need to not land in egypt on G1, or they need to move their baltic fleet out on G1, and have it survive against your UK airforce. Otherwise, you can block the baltic fleet with a uk subbuild, and the medfleet will be out of range. On, US2, you will send in the DD and the 3 extra TTs you built (if germany build navy on G1, you might build an american carrier on US1 to seal the deal), and after that, the game is up. Germany will never be strong enough to kill your fleet.
If you bring 3 FTR + 1 SUB (the one from SZ8) against the 1 UK BB, the chances of you getting hit twice in that battle are absurdly low. The BB would need to hit you twice in a row (4/9 chance), while you would have to fail to get two hits in the first round of combat. The chances are better for this.
-There a 6^4 (1296) possible combos of dice you can roll for 4 attackers.
-Of those, there are 18 * 36 = 648 combos where you get two hits.
648/1296 = 1/2 chance to get two hits.
4/9 * 1/2 = a 2/9 (~22%) chance of losing two units to the battleship.
(< 5%) chance of losing the FTR.
So there’s a believable chance you’ll lose one FTR in all of that, and wind up with a 3 FTR stack in W. Europe instead of a 4 FTR stack, but the odds of losing 2 FTRs in the opening sorties are laughable.
I figured the attack on Egypt was implied. Not retaking Egypt turn 1 is tantamount to suicide.
I fail to see the point in dumping an entire army in Europe, which would leave the fleet vulnerable to a counterattack and force the allies to waste 2-3 turns rebuilding both a fleet AND a land army. A good Germany will use those breather turns to win the game.
That’s two of you know that have pointed out that DDs are a bad buy. I’ve looked into it a bit and I’m starting to think that a CV buy B1 might be the best bet for not dying to the German Fleet (it helps to be able to land two FTRs on it to basically give yourself 36 IPCs worth of defense for a 16 IPC investment). Thanks for the advice. Correct me if I’m wrong on the CV though.
Ahh, I see. I think my problem here is that this is a face-to-face tournament played under time controls (that’s how I’ve been practicing, too), so I won’t be able to employ the safer strategies in the strict (5 hour) time limit I’ll have to get into a good position. That would probably explain why I haven’t considered the slower strategies that both you and MarineIguana suggested.
I played a practice game with this strategy earlier today (and had the Soviets focus on turtling) and the Allies won handily, although it took an exceedingly long time to do so.
As always, thanks for the advice.
I usually land in africa until my pacific fleet makes it to the atlantic. then I split and send uk into norway and start landing in the americans in europe the round after that.
I understand that TTs are the best ship economy-wise, but I believe that a CV may be an extremely cost-efficient buy for the first turn only (because you have the two FTRs in UK that can land on the carrier no problem). Later in the game the CV would become extremely cost-inefficient, of course (you’re paying 16 for a 1 HP 3 DEF when you could be spending that same 16 IPC for 2 HP of 1 DEF that can also transport units).
Do you advocate sending the Indian Fleet south? What do you do about the TT in SZ59? When I used to play Revised/42/42SE I always remember going out of my way to eliminate it (as forcing Japan to buy more TTs is a good way to buy the allies precious time).
Uh! And why not equip them with a pre-emptive shot and the capabilities to carry a fighter? I like Transports also!!! TRN is the more important unit after the infantry (that is the more important unit overall in the game) because they are able to transport the more important unit of the game, the infantry! But… my TRN do not difend as Jen TRN do, they insist in scoring between 2 and 4!
I do agree that beginners should stick to the London factory. It does require skill pulling off the india IC. But It just depends on how you and your allies play the game. If each of you are gonna do your own thing, the game will certainly be over quicker than usual. Thats the key…… Teamwork and persistance. Control the game by limiting the enemy of options. Do this and you’ll win no matter who you are.
Under item #2 allied fighters cannot be allocated as a hit allocation because they are not rolling on the attack so they are ignored. Also, Under item #1 if your carrier is defending and has fighters from allied players they can be allocated as hits on defence and roll out as well. of course some of this is totally bogus and is totally unrealistic.but oh well.
If i build an IC in a captured territory, and I lose that territory, and another ally takes it over, its now their IC. Thats not even a question, I just feel its the answer to one of the next ones to be asked. | 2019-04-24T13:09:21 | https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/28972/g1-builds-opening | [

except to have me download again.
Anybody got suggestions? Everything else works fine.
occurred after upgrading to 3.11 and now I cannot find the earlier installer.
This is seriously BAD software - no relevant help file entry either. Grim.
I would not pay for another Macromedia product if it is going to be like this.
installed with the Contribute 3.11 Installer for OS X (I am also using 10.3.9).
different Mac user account with Admin privileges, (4) re-install Contribute.
and so you have to install where Contribute can play safe.
Of course you'll have to reinstall under your new Admin/user account.
Interesting - sounds like the installer is all messed up. | 2019-04-25T07:49:04 | http://www.justskins.com/forums/mac-user-cannot-use-70492.html | [

Bloodshr3d Black Magic Edition is a fat burning supplement with added stimulants that will curb your appetite and boost metabolic rate, alongside various ingredients like carnitine and raspberry ketones that have been shown to mobilise and oxidise stored body fat. It also contains ashwagandha to support mood and offset the chance of an energy crash, as well as bcaas, that help prevent muscle catabolism.
What is in this fat burner that makes it a good supplement?
This fat burner is loaded with stimulant compounds that will give you both an energy boost and will curb down your appetite.
Acetyl L-Carnitine: Helps your body transport stored body fat to your muscles so they can be used for fuel, as well as helps with mental focus.
Sophora Japonica: A flower that is rich in the flavonoid “rutin” which based on clinical studies has been shown to have positive effects on combating obesity through AMPK Activation which stimulates glucose absorption and the degeneration of fat.
Green Coffee: Made from coffee beans that are then extracted with alcohol and water. The main and active ingredient in the Green coffee extract is chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic Acid aids in lowering the absorption of fat and promotes increased metabolism.
Vanillin: Sourced from the vanilla bean this extract helps to increase metabolism, induce lipolysis and improve mood.
Pro-GBB: Helps to increase carnitine plasma levels in the body helping to transport fat to the mitochondria to be used as energy, leading to significantly more fat being burned and greater energy levels.
Taurine: Works by stabilizing cell membranes in muscle tissue. One of taurine main functions is to transport potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium in and out the cells. Taurine Lowers blood pressure and calms the central nervous system.
J. Regia Extract: By boosting dopamine and noradrenaline uptake this ingredient helps to improve focus, energy, and mood like no other.
KSM-66 Ashwagandha: This is the industry-leading form of ashwagandha extract standardized to >5% withanolides. This patented form of Ashwagandha has been shown to combat stress, reduce mental fatigue (which happens to all of us during the week), enhance your cognitive performance & reaction time, AND most recently it's been shown to not only enhance weight loss for those dealing with chronic stress but thyroid function as well.
BCAAs as Vegan Instaminos: Instantly dissolving aminos to aid in recovery, increase workout capacity, and prevent muscle loss while supporting fat loss.

suggesting Germany stop “rewarding behavior you want to get rid of” – takes aim at the military.
“You want everybody educated to their potential. You want people to reach their potential. That still won’t work for some people in a highly developed market system.
I mean if this were a sports-based system, you could give me a PhD in football, and I could practice eight hours a day, and I might be able to carry the water from, not onto the field, but from the locker room to the bench. There’s just some people don’t fit well into a highly skilled market-based economy.
So just the words of a funny old man who is losing his marbles, or an elitist “crony” oligarch who knows there are no consequences for his words or actions? | 2019-04-26T14:47:34 | http://www.liebenfels.com/warren-buffett-some-citizens-dont-fit-in-a-market-economy-well-send-them-to-afghanistan/ | [

Remember when the left went crazy over candidate Trump’s body movements while talking about a disabled liberal reporter who was unjustly trashing him?
Even though multiple videos proved then-presidential candidate Trump frequently used similar or the same body movements on many occasions while mocking people who were not disabled, the media and the Democrat Party milked the lie for months.
The media completely ignored Democrat strategist Adam Parkhomenko’s sick tweet today, where he asked his 253K+ followers to make sure a video of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), falling onto the stage (after tripping on his partially paralyzed leg from a bout with polio at the age of 12), went viral.
According to Wikipedia, Adam Parkhomenko is a Democratic political strategist and organizer who served as National Field Director for the Democratic National Committee in 2016. He was the co-founder and executive director of Ready for Hillary, a super PAC established to persuade Hillary Clinton to run for the presidency of the United States in 2016. In the 2017 party election, Parkhomenko was a candidate for Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee.
Earlier today, Adam Parkhomenko tweeted this video, saying that Mitch McConnell does not want to let this video get up to 1 million views. Did the GOP Senate Majority Leader tell Parkhomenko that, or is this just another case of a demented Democrat making fun of someone with a disability and hoping fellow Democrats will help him to humiliate McConnell over his disability even more?
The former DNC field director was immediately slammed for mocking a disabled person simply because he doesn’t agree with his politics.
So you enjoy picking on handicapped/disabled people?
The Senator suffered from Polio as a child, resulting in a paralyzed left leg.
You exemplify the Democrat Party. Contemptible, vindictive losers.
EducatëdHillbilly™ tweeted a part of Senator Mitch McConnell’s bio, explaining how his upper left leg was paralyzed after he was afflicted with polio at the age of 12.
Mindy Robertson reminded the Democrat hack about McConnell’s disability: McConnell had polio as a kid and his leg is partially paralyzed because of it, you POS. But great way to demonstrate that “moral superiority” you Dems keep thinking you have over us…..
What do you think? Should the media be calling our Parkhomenko for his disgusting behavior? Tell us what you think in the comment section below? | 2019-04-21T16:48:37 | https://100percentfedup.com/dem-strategist-tweets-sick-video-of-polio-survivor-gop-senator-mitch-mcconnell-tripping-and-falling-downsays-he-hopes-it-gets-1-million-views/ | [

What Does Your Lip Colour Say About Your Body?
While you may make all the girls jealous with your rosy lips, this is actually an indication that your body is overheated. This condition will be accompanied by a constant craving for food and bad breath. Your body gets overheated when your liver is dysfunctional. Take immediate measures to cleanse your liver. You can consume celery, honey dandelion tea, and bitter melon to help the cleansing process. Your lips may also be red if you have an allergy to certain foods.
No, don’t cover them with red lipstick! Pale lips indicate anaemia which is a cause of low haemoglobin or red blood cells. Consume foods that are rich in iron to cure this condition. The richest sources of iron are dry fruits and spinach which will boost your haemoglobin levels.
This indicates that your digestive system needs detoxification immediately and needs to be rid of disturbing food agents. Try to practise an alkaline diet. You can also consume lemon-squeezed warm water. Stray clear of junk food until your digestive system is cleansed and include a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish, and rice to your diet.
This is not much to be alarmed about if it happens in extremely cold regions. However, you should immediately consult your doctor if you do not stay in a very cold region and the condition persists for more than a few days. Blue or purple lips can mean that you have respiratory or heart problem. It can also mean that your blood is not properly circulated through your body. An improper blood circulation around the spleen and liver can be identified if there is a green line around the lips.
These indicate respiratory or heart problems. Consume foods that are neutral and nature along with a few mild spices.
Rosy Pink Lips indicate that you are maintaining a good lifestyle and is a sign of a healthy body and a balanced mind. This means that your diet, sleeping patterns and workout regimes are suiting your body. More reason to make ‘em girls jealous, huh?
While everyone wants super cool superpowers, my superpower is health indication through lip colour! Do not take a change in your lip colour lightly. Consult with a doctor immediately if you notice even a slight change. And keep drinking the magic potion that will make everything alright. No, not Whisky! Water! Let us know some more natural ways of leading a healthy lifestyle with lovely pink lips in the comments section. | 2019-04-25T10:23:53 | https://www.healthlibrary.in/what-does-your-lip-colour-say-about-your-body/ | [

Use the law and your employer's complaint procedures to protect yourself from on-the-job harassment.
If the harasser ignores your oral requests to stop, or if you are uncomfortable talking to the harasser face to face, write a succinct letter demanding an end to the behavior. Be sure to keep a copy.
If you are concerned for your personal safety or are afraid that the harasser might become more hostile when confronted, complain to a supervisor instead.
Although it is often difficult to make a complaint at work, and you may prefer to skip this step, don't. The U.S. Supreme Court has said that employees who fail to use their employer's internal complaint procedure to make the company aware of sexual harassment, and to give the company a chance to stop it, cannot later hold the company liable in a lawsuit. This means that you are quite likely to lose in court, should it come to that, if you don't complain within the company first.
Even if your company doesn't have a formal complaint procedure, you can put the company on notice of the harassment. You can do this by making a complaint to the human resources department, telling your supervisor (or his or her supervisor) about the problem, or informing a company executive.
It is very important to document what is happening to you, and what you are doing to try to stop it, should you ever have to prove your case to a company investigator, a government agency, or a jury.
Start by collecting as much detailed evidence as possible about the harassment. Be sure to save any offensive letters, photographs, cards, or notes you receive. If you were made to feel uncomfortable because of jokes, pin-ups, or cartoons posted at work, confiscate them -- or at least make copies. An anonymous, obnoxious photo or joke posted on a bulletin board is not anyone else's personal property, so you are free to take it down and keep it as evidence. If that's not possible, photograph the workplace walls. Note the dates the offensive material was posted -- and whether there were hostile reactions when you took it down or asked another person to do so.
Also, keep a detailed journal about incidents of harassment. Include the names of everyone involved, what happened, and where and when it took place. If anyone else saw or heard the harassment, note that as well. Be as specific as possible about what was said and done -- and how it affected you, your health, or your job performance. Keep your journal and notes at home or in a secure location outside of the workplace.
If your employer has conducted periodic written evaluations of your work, make sure you have copies. In fact, you may want to ask for a copy of your entire personnel file before complaining about a harassing coworker. Your records can be particularly persuasive evidence if your employer retaliates against you for complaining -- which is also illegal. For example, you'll want a copy of your records if you've had positive performance evaluations until you complain, and then your employer tries to transfer, demote, or fire you or claims your job performance is poor.
If complaining to your employer doesn’t help, the next step is to go to either the federal agency that enforces Title VII -- the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission -- or to your state fair employment office. If all investigation and settlement attempts fail to produce satisfactory results, you can file a civil lawsuit for damages under either Title VII or your state fair employment practices statute.
You must file a complaint with the EEOC before filing a federal lawsuit. Even if you intend right from the beginning to file a lawsuit, you sometimes must first file a claim with a government agency. For example, an employee pursuing a claim under federal law must first file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and a similar complaint procedure is required under some state laws.
The EEOC or state agency may decide to prosecute your case on your behalf, but that happens rarely. More commonly, at some point, the agency will issue you a document referred to as a "right-to-sue" letter that allows you to take your case to court with your own lawyer.
Note, however, that there are time limits for filing claims with government agencies and for filing a lawsuit, so be sure not to miss them. | 2019-04-20T10:44:24 | https://www.gslawny.com/lawyer-attorney-0E020B2A-F7D9-40C2-AB52398DFAAFDC6F.html | [

EVENT: Supreme Court Gardens (Perth) this Saturday 26th May 2018, 6.30 – 8pm.
WHY? It is 20 years since the 1998 abortion legislation in WA during which time 165,000 Western Australian babies have been killed with state sanction.
3,300 white crosses, each representing 50 children, will be displayed in the form of a giant cross in the Gardens from this Friday.
INCLUDED is a commemorative service. Red roses will be available to place beside crosses.
Feel free to bring your own picnic tea from 5pm and to engage in prayer after.
We had about 1500 people at the 2017 rally at Parliament House – let’s see if we can double that number at this very significant anniversary.
Dear Friends, it is time – as never before – to STAND FOR TRUTH. In this instance we are standing for the truth of God’s Creation, that every human life is created in God’s Image, with innate dignity and worth from conception till life’s natural end, in all states of dependency and disability.
This is a time to both COMMEMORATE the tragedy of abortion and CELEBRATE God’s Truth, unafraid in upholding our liberty to believe and declare the value of all human life.
As a people of God standing together may it be seen and heard that “the shout of the King” is among us (Num 23:21 NIV). | 2019-04-20T12:11:13 | http://www.chooselifeaustralia.org.au/life/event-supreme-court-gardens-this-saturday-26th-may-2018-6-30-8pm/ | [

Ohio lawmakers have passed "zero tolerance" laws related to underage drinking and driving.

A man suspected of assaulting two women at a hot dog stand in Los Angeles was arrested by police. Video recorded during the altercation shows a man repeatedly punched two women before fleeing through traffic to the other side of the street.
It all started when the two victims approached the hot dog stand and noticed that a man was angry at the vendor over the price of hot dogs. Apparently, the man was angry that the hot dogs cost $6 and, when offered a free hot dog by the vendor, turned it down and continued raving about the price. At that point, one of the women told the man to “just leave,” after which he went irate and started punching the women.
Bystanders got video of all but the very first blows being thrown, though none of them stepped in to help the victims.
Assault is covered under California Penal Code 240 PC and is described as an attempt to commit a violent injury on someone else. A person can be charged with assault regardless of whether or not they actually make contact with anyone. The reason for this is because the crime itself is committed when someone attempts to commit a violent injury on someone else. Whether the defendant actually inflicts the violent injury or not doesn’t matter when it comes to being charged with assault.
Simple assault is a misdemeanor in California, with the possible penalties including a fine of up t o $1,000 and up to 6 months in county jail. These penalties are standard regarding most California misdemeanors. However, depending on the circumstances of the case, it’s possible that other penalties or court orders could be involved. | 2019-04-21T02:45:45 | https://adventurebailbonds.com/adventure-bail-bonds-los-angeles/hot-dog-stand-assault-suspect-arrested/ | [
