The Samsung Galaxy S3 was the best gadget of the last 12 months, according to Stuff Magazine, seeing off strong competition from the iPhone 5 and the Google Nexus 7.
Samsung's flagship phone also pipped Apple's latest kit in the smartphone of the year category at the ceremony, capping what was a fairly miserable night for the Cupertino-based tech giant on which it missed out on five awards.
Other big wins on the night include tablet of the year for Google's budget-priced, compact Nexus 7 by Asus. Smartphone app of the year, meanwhile, went to Strava, while Sky Sports for the iPad picked up best tablet app.
Stuff magazine editor Will Findlater said: "2012 has been a landmark year for technology, particularly in the tablet and smartphone spaces.
"While Apple's gadgets have been exemplary, its competitors have made even greater strides – and the Galaxy S3, with its 4.8-inch HD screen and unique interface innovations, shows that Samsung has made the greatest strides of all."
Signs of a changing of the guard in the smartphone market come after what has been a tumultuous period for Apple, one which saw the resignation of software head Steve Forstall and a dip in its share price after worse-than-expected sales of the iPad 3.
Here's the list of Stuff Award winners in full:
Video Gadget of the Year – Humax DTR–T1000
Tech Accessory of the Year - Synology DiskStation DS212j
Smartphone App of the Year – Strava
Tablet App of the Year – Sky Sports for iPad
Cloud App of the Year – BBC.co.uk & iPlayer
Home Gadget of the Year – British Gas Remote Heating Control
Gadget of the Year – Samsung Galaxy S3
Smartphone of the Year – Samsung Galaxy S3

Article Title
Reaction Times and the Emergence of Class Consistent Responding: A Case for Precurrent Behavior?
Document Type
Three experiments explored reaction times and the emergence of consistent responding during tests for equivalence following prerequisite conditional discrimination training for the establishment of three 3-member classes. Using a simultaneous testing protocol following linear series training, Experiment 1 investigated differential reaction times to baseline and to test trials, and the consistency of emergent test performances. Only 1 of 1 0 subjects responded in accord with stimulus equivalence, and 2 subjects responded in accord with other consistent patterns. Reaction times to test trials were longer than to baseline trials, and there was a tendency for lower reaction times to be associated with consistent responding during testing, whether or not the consistent responding was in accord with equivalence. Experiment 2 investigated reaction times and the emergence of consistent responding during training as a function of repeated training and testing. One subject from the previous experiment participated in eight replications with the stimulus materials from Experiment 1 and two replications with a second set of materials. Neither of these produced stimulus equivalence, even after baseline and symmetry test performances were nearly perfect. However, with both sets of materials, reaction times were gradually reduced as responding became consistent with a different pattern during "equivalence" testing. To examine whether the longer reaction times initially during testing are directly relevant to the emergence of consistent responding and, under favorable conditions, stimulus equivalence, the opportunity to respond to comparison stimuli was restricted to 2 s in Experiment 3. The results showed that with the reaction time constriction, none of the subjects responded in accord with equivalence under otherwise favorable conditions, that is, following one-to-many training. A problem-solving interpretation of equivalence formation is suggested.

WASHINGTON — In a huge win for housing advocates and a setback for the banking industry, the Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the use of "disparate impact" in a Texas case alleging housing-related discrimination.
The high court ruled 5-4 that disparate impact, which says lenders and other defendants can be found liable for racial discrimination even if it was unintended, is recognized under the Fair Housing Act. The case — Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. Inclusive Communities Project — is likely to bolster the use of the legal theory by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other authorities, although numerous disparate cases have also been brought under a different law.
"The Court holds that disparate-impact claims are cognizable under the Fair Housing Act," wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the opinion and ruled alongside the court's four progressive justices.
But the decision is a blow to lenders and industry advocates who say disparate impact unfairly victimizes financial institutions that are not aware that their credit policies may have a disproportionate effect on minority neighborhoods.
The American Bankers Association "and our members are strong advocates for fair lending and enforcement of the Fair Housing Act. Disparate Impact theory, however, is not the right tool to achieve fairness and prevent discrimination in lending," Frank Keating, the ABA's president and chief executive, said in a statement. "This approach can have unintended consequences, such as causing financial institutions to shrink their operations rather than risk litigation, hurting the very groups it is intended to help."
But consumer groups applauded the decision.
"For many years, the application of disparate impact doctrine has helped to expose housing practices that may appear neutral on their face but have discriminatory effects on protected classes," John Taylor, president and chief executive of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, said in a statement. "Housing discrimination today often isn't as blatant as it was in the past, so this is a vital tool for enforcing fair housing law. We applaud the Supreme Court for making the right decision today."
Yet groups on both sides of the debate were still busily trying to interpret the long-term effects of the ruling when it came out Thursday morning.
Questions still loomed about how the decision would be applied. For example, Joshua Block, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, wrote on Twitter that the court's more liberal justices "made [a] huge concession" by agreeing to language in the decision that appeared to limit penalties in cases related to disparate impact.
In the specific case, the Inclusive Communities Project — a housing advocacy group — sued the state of Texas over claims that its policy of distributing housing tax credits led to affordable housing options being concentrated in minority areas.
In his opinion, Kennedy wrote that disparate impact has long been established in fair housing cases.
"In light of the longstanding judicial interpretation of the FHA to encompass disparate-impact claims and congressional reaffirmation of that result, residents and policymakers have come to rely on the availability of disparate-impact claims," he wrote, adding that many large American cities that could be potential defendants in similar cases sided with the plaintiffs in the Texas case.
But in a dissenting opinion, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the court's approach in the decision "is a serious mistake.
"The Fair Housing Act does not create disparate-impact liability, nor do this Court's precedents," Alito wrote.

It has been nonstop raining in the Carolinas for two weeks, and Hurricane Joaquin has only added to the gray. My plan for Saturday was to sit around on the couch watching tv, but I realized sometime around my second cup of coffee that my failure to accomplish anything this weekend would only make things seem more dismal. So I took a drive to the local Dollar Store and Walmart to pick up a few supplies for a Halloween inspired craft or two.
From the Dollar Store I bought a bag of plastic bugs (which I painted with metallic spray paint and turned into magnets), a LED light up skull, some fake blood spatter, a wine glass with leaf details (add some melted wax and a wick = quick n' easy candle!), and a motion activated, noise making, will-not-shut-up, plastic rat (mistakes were made). From Walmart I purchased two red mums, some plastic terracotta pots (which I also covered in metallic spray paint) for aforementioned mums, candy corn (it took me several trips around the store to locate them - why do they always hide the candy corn?!), some yarn, a foam wreath form and some cute ribbon.
When I arrived home, I melted wax for the wine glass candle and while the wax melted, I went out into the garage an spray painted my pots and bugs and while they dried I set the candle (a tutorial you can see here) and after all of this I decided it was probably time to replace my spring time wreath (you can see it here) with something a little more festive.
Here's what you need to make one of your own:
What You Need
Foam wreath form
Glue gun
Additional decorations (aka light up skull!)
What You Do
1. If you're using more than one yarn color, decide what pattern or thickness you want the color bands to be. I measured the wreath using a piece of yard to determine the outer circumference (about 50") and divided it by 7" sections. I used straight pins to mark each 7" stretch but you could eye-ball it if you prefer. I wanted the color to repeat three times each and to wrap the last, 8" section, in ribbon.
2. Begin wrapping by knotting a length of yarn on one side of the wreath. The side where the knots are will be the back - naturally. Wrap the yarn around the wreath form in your first section until you are satisfied with the coverage.
3. Move on the next section in the same way. I knotted the other color yarn on the back side and wrapped around and around. And wrapped and wrapped. The whole process of wrapping the yarn took about an hour.
4. I covered the last section in ribbon and pinned it tightly on the back side of the form.
5. I used hot glue to attach the Dollar Store skull and a spider I had purchased for the last Halloween wreath I did (here!). I also used a piece of thin black ribbon to hang the wreath and the remaining wide ribbon as a bow to cover the wreath hook.
And there you have it:
It was super easy and I watched Netflix with full attention while I did it - so that should give you an idea about how much concentration the project requires. And the whole thing cost me less than $10! And I love how it came out!
Happy Fall Y'all!

Only 3 bars on home phone unit can call out but when people call they can barely hear us or not all
What handset do you use? What happens if you move the unit about a bit?
Using Panasonic phones. Moved the z unit still only 3 bars. Seems to only effect incoming calls
Using Panasonic phones...tried moving base unit can't get past three bars...only seem to effect people calling us
Hmm strange... Did you have this problem before with the landline? Thinking perhaps the phone may be too far from the base...
The mobility store I bought it from thinks my cordless phones are causing interference. They are contacting the hpw techs in the meantime.

Dear Deidre
I HAD awesome, secret sex with my ex. I have a baby with my current partner and he is a lovely dad but I can't stop thinking about the guy I used to be with.
This ex happens to be the best mate of the man I went out with before him.
Eighteen months ago I ran into him at our local gym. I was not long out of a two-year relationship with his friend.
I had always fancied him and he was so lovely, asking how I was doing. I fell in love with him almost instantly.
I can still remember the exact date. People say that you always know when you find The One and it's true. I did with him. I am 25 and he is 26.
We swapped numbers and soon began texting. Then we met up for drinks and it became more.
The sex was fabulous and so passionate. We spent as much time as we could together but split up after three months.
I made the decision to end it to save the friendship between him and my former boyfriend. I walked away but not a day goes by without me regretting what I did.
It has been 15 months since we last spoke but the feelings are still there. I don't think they will ever go away. He was my rock and my whole world.
I can't get him out of my mind even though I have a new boyfriend now.
He's 27 and we have been together for just over a year and I gave birth to our baby girl recently. My partner has no idea how I am feeling. I can't tell him anything as it would break his heart. I do love him.
I really want to make our relationship work for the sake of our daughter. How do I stop myself thinking about the guy I gave up?
He may be in a relationship himself now. I still love him but I am too scared to talk to him.
DEIDRE SAYS: Stay well clear. No good will come of making contact.
Your former boyfriend would have had no right to object to your relationship with his friend, although that doesn't mean he wouldn't have.
But you made your decision back then and – crucially – you now have a baby daughter, whose welfare must come first.
It may well be the demands of being a new mum that are making you dream of past romance.
This is a tough stage of life, and not the most romantic, but her dad sounds to be a good partner and that is what is likely to lead to long-term happiness for you.
Make sure that you get couple time together to cement your fairly new relationship.
Organise regular babysitting and maybe read my e-leaflet on Saving Your Sex Life.
Mistress won't let go of my husband
Dear Deidre
I HAVE found out that my husband has been having an affair for more than a year.
He says he's sorry and that he didn't intentionally look for an affair, it just happened.
I'm 38 and my partner is 40. We have been together for 18 years and have three children. I decided to accept what he was saying but then I discovered he is still in contact with her.
He says it's just as friends but he has stayed at her house twice after arguing with me. He always comes back with his tail between his legs and I forgive him.
He's promised to stay away from her but she is still trying to contact him and I'm not sure I can trust him.
She's made it clear she loves him and won't let go.
DEIDRE SAYS: No affair "just happens".
He may not have gone looking to cheat but there was a moment when he could have stepped back, stayed faithful and talked about strengthening your relationship.
That's what he has to do now. He's not helpless as two women fight over him. Tell him it's his last chance, he must block his phone and social media.
My e-leaflet Cheating – Can You Get Over It? will help.

I resent him for dashing my dreams
Dear Deidre
I'VE always been confident, friendly, funny and full of energy. I take care of my appearance and that's what everyone knows me for.
I'd be the last person you'd think was depressed but I've been struggling for about four months.
I just want to shut myself away.
I'm 26. I've been married for a year and I feel as though I am pushing my husband away.
He's 29. I resent him and it's unfair. I had such high hopes for my future. I wanted to be successful, doing a job I love and living in London but my husband's business is in the North and can't be moved.
I feel as though I'm wasting my life.
DEIDRE SAYS: It is tough when your dreams seem to be trampled on by practical realities.
Tell your husband you are struggling (he probably realises) but want to work with him to turn it around.
There will be good job opportunities where you are too. Or could you work in London three or four days a week?
It should help to talk to a life and/or business coach (lifecoach-directory.org.uk) but see your GP if taking any positive action feels beyond you.
Dear Deidre
MY porn addiction is so bad I had to pay £12,000 for IVF treatment because I couldn't have proper sex and make my wife pregnant.
I'm 34 and my wife is 32. We have been married for eight years and she is a beautiful woman.
I love her and our baby girl to bits but my habit is so bad I even asked my wife to change the wifi password so I couldn't access porn.
Even that hasn't helped, as I have found an app that lets me bypass the security. I'm afraid my wife will find out and it will hurt her. Please help.
DEIDRE SAYS: IVF treatment would have been tough emotionally.
My e-leaflet Internet Pornography Worry explains self-help. Also try the free online Kick Start Recovery Programme (sexaddictionhelp.co.uk).
An addiction as ingrained as yours may need in-depth counselling to discover why you've been so vulnerable.
See my e-leaflet on How Counselling Helps.
Dear Deidre
MY boyfriend beats me up at least twice a week. I'm covered in bruises and scars but I'm too scared to leave because I have built a life with him.
I am 22 and my boyfriend is 24. We have been together for three years.
He has been drinking more and more – when he does, he is violent. He always claims he can't remember what he's done afterwards but I am left feeling terrified and in pain.
I don't believe he can't remember. He punches me and won't stop when I cry out. He just calls me names.
DEIDRE SAYS: You must not stay with him.
He might well kill you or cause a life-changing injury. You can't change him, especially as he's in denial, and living in fear is dragging you down.
My e-leaflet Abusive Partner explains more. Talk to the National Domestic Violence Helpline about leaving the relationship safely (0808 2000 247) or see womensaid.org.uk.

A kids' party table isn't complete without a plate of cupcakes and Halloween is no exception. Here are 3 chocolate cupcake creations perfect for a Halloween party.
First make a batch of chocolate cupcakes. I use a recipe from Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery . (They made my delicious wedding cupcakes ten years ago!)
1. for toddlers: chocolate owl cupcakes
I've made these Chocolate Owl cupcakes every year since my kids were babies and they always go down a (trick or) treat.
To decorate:
chocolate buttercream icing
2 packs of Oreo biscuits
3 X tubes of Smarties
- Put the icing into a piping bag and attach a small nozzle. Pipe icing spikes/peaks all over the cupcake for the Owl's feathers.
- Next, separate your Oreos by putting each one in the microwave for approx 8-10 seconds. Any less and they won't separate, any more and they'll melt. Get an extra pack cover breakages/melt-ages/eat-ages! Once you have enough iced Oreo halves, place two on each cupcake. Add brown smarties for pupils.
- Take the non-iced halves and cut them in half to make owl ears. Place above the eyes and pipe chocolate icing over them.
- Add yellow smarties for the beaks.
2. for bigger kids: chocolate werewolf cupcakes
To decorate:
chocolate buttercream icing
vanilla buttercream icing
Bag of large marshmallows
Large bag of M&Ms
- To make the ears lie marshmallows on their side and cut off each corner. Stick on cupcake using chocolate icing.
- For the mouth cut a V shaped notch at the top of each marshmallow and stick on with frosting.
- Cut your fruit strip to fit the mouth. Stick on with vanilla frosting.
- Get an icing bag and cut a small (1/8 inch) 'M' cut in the bottom by cutting two V's. Pipe lines of chocolate icing until the ears are covered.
- For the fur, pipe peaks in concentric circles.
- Pipe fangs using a small nozzle around the edge of the fruit strip and vanilla icing
- Add red, yellow or green M&M's for the eyes and a brown for the snout.
3. for all kids: chocolate creepy crawly cakes
Making these bug cupcakes with your kids is the perfect half term Halloween activity
To decorate
vanilla buttercream icing
Mixture of chocolate M&Ms, Peanut M&Ms and Smarties
Black writing icing
- Ice cupcakes with vanilla frosting.
- Arrange sweets to make different insect bodies and heads
- Use the writing icing to add legs and antennae to the candy bodies.

The Southern California Tuna Club trip with 33 anglers aboard the Excel with skipper Justin Fleck returned August 15 after a four-day trip.
We had fantastic yellowtail fishing on the beach, said Justin. Some big calico bass were also caught.
Devin Dierenfield of Santa Barbara won first place for a 25.4-pound yellowtail. He got in the kelp, said Devin, and I fed him some line, and then I pulled him out.
Devin said he fished a sardine on a 4/0 Mustad hook and 50-pound Big Game line. He used a Penn 4/0 reel and a six-foot Daiwa rod, struggling with the fish for 15 minuter.
Jackpot Winners aboard Excel and their big yellows.
Curtis Herber of Newport Beach was second for a 24.6-pounder, and Ken Huss of Huntington Beach won third place for a 24.2-pound yellowtail.
Son-Father Win
Skipper Aaron Remy docked Searcher at Fishermans landing after a three-day trip with 22 anglers August 15.
Dylan Haste, 10 years old, won first place for a 20.8-pound yellowtail. It wasnt Dylans first appearance in the lineup, either. He said he spent 15 minutes on the fish after it took his sardine on a 2/0 Flyliner hook. He used 30-pound blue Izorline, a Penn 975 reel and a seven-foot Sabre rod. Dylan goes to Carter Elementary in Palm Desert, and plays baseball there.
Searcher Jackpot Winners display their catch.
Dylans dad Remus of Palm Desert won second place, for a 20.6-pound yellow, and Evan Hashimoto of Mission Viejo won third place for a 20-pound yellowtail. Evan is 16, and goes to Santa Margarita High in Rancho Santa Margarita, where he plays tennis.
Westcoastangler.com Trip Back
Andy Cates docked Red Rooster III at H&M Landing August 15 following a good five-day trip to Guadalupe and the lower islands. There were 25 anglers aboard.
After 1.5 days of dealing with the elements at the island, he wrote August 12, we have decided to head inside for some action on yellows. Leaving here with 75 trophy yellowfin, we feel the work paid off. Today was the better day here; we scratched from daybreak until 5:00, when we left. Guadalupe can be good for some of the people and tough for others. We had quite a few disappointments with shark bit fish, but everyone managed to get some fish in the end.
Red Rooster III Jackpot Winners and their tuna catch.
El Segundo Chartermaster David Rosenthal of WestCoastAngler.com won first place for a 73-pound yellowfin. He bagged that baby on a sardine and a 3/0 Gamakatsu ringed hook. He said he used 30-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon leader and 50-pound Power Pro Spectra on a Torium 20 reel and a seven-foot Calstar rod.
Matt Helbert of Poway was second, for a 66-pound tuna, and Doal Miller of Encinitas won third place, for a 64.7-pounder There was no trolling jackpot for the trip, so Randy Bixenman of Monrovia won the jacket for his fourth-place 64-pound Guadalupe yellowfin tuna.

I loved this Fabulous story! This was a Fun story full of humor, flirty banter and steamy passion. I really liked that it was told from dual POV's which I loved. Excellent writing that captivated me. A great story with great details. I was hooked from the beginning to end.
Adored James and Gracie. The push and pull and their constant bickering was driving their family and friends crazy. Gracie loves to push his buttons and antagonize him, she found it impossible not to engage him. They shared a instant dislike of each other when they met each other 18 months ago. Everything about him irritated her, lucky for James no one knew of his lust for Gracie, with her sharp tongue that the made him hard, as well as her fantasy inducing assets, and her wickedly sexy good natured charm. The tension between them is delicious and so fun that I was laughing out loud while I was reading. So when they are asked to call a truce and different family and friends speculate that the way they argue may be a cover for a underlying interest in each other. They both struggle with that possibility and soon realize their issues with each other is from attraction. Being total opposites they have a magnetic attraction that they can't ignore. Their sizzling, chemistry is combustible and your finger will feel the burn with every flip of the page.
So when Gracie finally decides that she can't fight it anymore, that she just want to do it and get it over with and absolutely out of their system, James turns her down. He explains that he doesn't do one night stands, he doesn't sleep with anyone that doesn't respect him. But they do share a explosive kiss when she is about to leave and they both realize that there is more to their attraction, agreeing that they need to spend a week end together. Their week end is spent getting to know each other with a lot of flirting and getting sloppy drunk. The first time they have sex I thought my kindle was going to combust, the dialogue and descriptive is just so HOT! Loved James and his controlling ways, oh heck yeah. That man was sex on a stick. More than that though, he was so sweet and I loved his more vulnerable moments as well as seeing him come undone. There is also a great collection of secondary characters that contributed to the fun in this story. So if you love a hate/love story with plenty of angst and sexy love scenes this is the story for you.
This is definitely a new author for me that I will be following , and I am going to have to purchase the previous stories in this series because I need more of the angst and sexy, steamy scenes, that was abundant in this story to get me through until the next story is released. LOVED IT! Highly Recommended!
Received a free copy through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
Plenty of heart, solid heat and lots of laughs make this a wonderful story.
The first I have read in this series, the premise was cute and I was curious about the story. Antagonists to lovers, and what better way than happy go lucky baker with a penchant for delectable desserts and an aversion to exercise coming face to face with a geeky, reserved professor that runs marathons, prefers health food to tasty food an can't help but analyze every situation? Here we go!
Gracie and James are instantly rubbing each other the wrong way when they meet because of the upcoming wedding. Gracie is simply delectable, from her gorgeous desserts (I was hungry from the first description) to her cheery attitude with a touch of devil-may-care, she was the perfect balance for James. And who doesn't love a geek who (most probably) has cue cards for conversation topics in his pocket, but comes with a full array of Dr. Who t-shirts and references? These two are convinced they have nothing in common – but that attraction. It zings around the room like fireworks. If they could only stop sniping and jibing one another.
But then – they take a chance. And whooo boy does James show just how take charge he is! Dawson uses their attraction to dance with BDSM experimentation in all the right ways: communication and limit setting, with only a couple of hiccups. And those are when James just 'knows' that he can sort a problem for Gracie better than she can. He wasn't being a jerk, but he was approaching things from the deadly I know better perspective, something that in the many telephone conversations they had, he should have realized NOT to do. Fortunately, they had built a solid connection even as they were not together a great deal, and Gracie was able to see his point, get angry and move forward within a reasonable time. These two are delightful: funny, clever and honest – and able to share most everything, keeping the reading moving forward quickly. You can't help but to cheer them on, even after you reach for a cool drink from their steamy moments. Plenty of heart, solid heat and lots of laughs make this a wonderful story.
I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
Amazing banter in this romantic story
The chemistry between the two characters is great. Add in their families and friends and it's a full story with laughter and heartbreak. I would have added more in the epilogue as it seemed too short. I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it.

01.11.2016 - November's Glove of the Month
Our third 'Glove of the Month' feature is dedicated to the 'ecoSHIELD™ Eco Nitrile PF 250'.
As a result of a long study into two increasing concerns for both the research community and general industry, SHIELD Scientific developed the ecoSHIELD™ Eco Nitrile gloves.
These gloves have been developed to try and tackle the increasing concerns for both the economy and ecology, but without compromising the gloves quality and they have done so remarkably well.
ecoSHIELD™ Eco Nitrile gloves are the perfect answer for providing economic and ecological protection in the laboratory.
Find out more about this brilliant glove by clicking the image to the right.
01.10.2016 - October's Glove of the Month
Our second 'Glove of the Month' feature is dedicated to the 'SHIELDskin™ CHEM™ Neo Nitrile™'.
Specifically developed to represent a new era in glove technology, this glove provides enhanced compliance, comfort and protection.
Manufactured using a multi-polymer formulation, the SHIELDskin™ CHEM™ Neo Nitrile™ glove has a unique bicoloured appearance achieved through a double dipping process (just like the SHIELDskin™ Orange Nitrile). The twinSHIELD™ technology means that users can enjoy double-walled protection.
Find out more about this fantastic glove by clicking the image to the right.
19.09.2016 - Traffic Light Inspired Glove System
Sentinel Laboratories is proud to offer Shield Scientific's unique traffic light glove system.
The traffic light inspired system features three different coloured gloves - red, orange and green, each designed for differing levels of risk. This will enable your employees to ensure that they have the correct level of protection for every application or process. Does your usual one glove, really suit all applications in your workplace environment?
A quantum leap in the production and development of protective examination gloves is achieved by Shield Scientific with their new double dipped gloves and perforation indicator ability. Shield Scientific have perfected a double dipped glove utilising two compatible polymers, where each layer is a different colour. Any defect becomes immediately obvious by the lower layer shining through the top layer, ensuring maximum wearer protection at all times.
The new perforation indicator, achieved through the use of twinSHIELD technology, allows for the visual identification of any defects in a glove which may develop during donning or during work where a glove may have snagged. This is a real breakthrough in glove development, achieved without any reduction in protection, tactility or comfort of the glove.
Contact us today to speak to one of our technical advisors to arrange your free workplace trial.
01.09.2016 - September's Glove of the Month

11.05.2015 - Interlink Express
Over the past couple of months we have realised that not all courier companies are great. We have been experiencing an increasing amount of problems with the service that UK Mail provide and we are unhappy that they are not providing the best service for our customers. Therefore, we have decided to move.
Today marks the day that we start to send our parcels through Interlink Express and we could not be more excited to work with them! Interlink Express are the UK's leading 'time critical' services couriers. They give customers one hour delivery slots, so the days of waiting at home for hours for a parcel delivery are over! They also offer real time updates and tracking on deliveries; so you can see exactly where your driver is and when he will be delivering your parcel. They are also working on a mobile app due to be released in May 2016.
All of the above is very exciting, but in order for us to offer this exceptional delivery service to our customers, we have had to slightly increase the price of our carriage charge, from £6.50 to £6.95. However, we can assure you that it is worth it!
We are excited about working with Interlink Express and can only hope that our relationship lasts for a very long time.
If you have any questions regarding our recent change in courier or the increase in our carriage charge, then please don't hesitate to contact us.
16.03.2015 - ISO 9001 & 14001 Accreditation
Sentinel Laboratories Ltd are now ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified! Over the past year we have been working extremely hard to receive our accreditation and all of our hard work has finally paid off.
As of today, you will start seeing this on all of our paperwork and if you require copies of our certificates, then please don't hesitate to contact us.
12.05.2014 - LiveChat now available on our website!
We now have a LiveChat feature on our website! We wanted to be able to answer your questions in real-time and with precision, therefore we decided to add a LiveChat feature to our website. We are available online Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm to answer any questions/queries that you may have.

I love Pizza, I mean who doesn't? So, a few weeks ago when I found AppleGate (nitrate-free, gluten, and sugar-free) pepperonis, I was stokede! I knew instantly I was going to do something delicious with them, but I ate the whole package before I came up with anything. Have no fear the store had more! This dish definitely has the pizza flavor I was looking for.
|Pizza Frittata
12 eggs
3 Tbs. bacon fat
3 cups spinach
1 package pineapple pico( I found this in the produce section at Heb)
8-10 large pepperonis (torn into small pieces)
2 Tbs. oregano
1 can pizza sauce
Heat bacon fat in large skillet, then add spinach and sautee. When spinach is almost wilted, add in pico and combine. When pineapple begins to brown slightly add in pepperoni and toss mixture around. Let it sit about 5mins. While you wait, scramble all eggs in a mixing bowl then pour evenly over contents of skillet. Let sit on medium heat. When eggs begin to cook, about 5mins or so, sprinkle oregano over the top. Let cook about 25 more minutes or until eggs are no longer runny.
Heat pizza sauce in a small sauce pan and with a ladle pour over frittata. You will have left over sauce.
**For Pico, chop up equal parts pineapple, red onion, green onion, tomatoes and a dash of cilantro.
**Your fave (nitrate free) pepperonis will be just fine.
**I use Muir Glen organic pizza sauce, there are no hidden ingredients and it's 100% Paleo friendly.

Don't see FAQ you are looking for here? Email the Undergraduate Coordinator at email@example.com with any additional questions.
BME MAJOR FAQ (scroll down for BME Minor FAQ)
What is the difference between biological engineering and biomedical engineering?
Biomedical engineering is a unique field that develops engineering skills from a variety of disciplines and applies them to problems related to human health and disease. Biomedical engineering at Cornell has been designed to prepare students to deal with the variability of the human body and to engineer robust solutions in an uncertain environment.
If I do not complete the required courses to affiliate at the end of the third semester, can I complete them in the fourth semester and affiliate then?
During the start-up phase of the undergraduate degree, BME does not plan to approve conditional affiliation applications or affiliation applications at the end of the fourth semester.
Is there a limit to the number of students that can affiliate with a Biomedical Engineering major?
During the start-up phase of the major, which is likely to be a few years, we (like any other major) have a maximum capacity in terms of faculty and classroom/lab space. It is possible, but unlikely, that a number of students all want to affiliate to BME but we cannot accommodate them all. To date, we have not denied anyone that qualified for affiliation.
Is it possible to transfer into biomedical engineering from another college?
The undergraduate biomedical engineering major for the College of Engineering was approved by the State of New York during summer 2015. During the start-up phase of the major, which is likely to be a few years, only incoming first-year students and rising sophomores in the College of Engineering will be eligible to apply for affiliation (i.e., internal transfer students and external transfer students will not be eligible to apply for affiliation with BME).
I want to get involved with biomedical engineering, but I was unable to affiliate. What can I do?
There are a number of ways to gain a background in Biomedical Engineering outside of the major. We have a minor, a one-year Masters of Engineering (M.Eng.) and many faculty research labs that take in students from various science and engineering disciplines.
How can I get information about early admission into M.Eng. while still an undergraduate or admission into other graduate degree programs in biomedical engineering?
Visit our graduate program site of our website, or for more information or to discuss further, please contact Belinda Floyd.
I am an incoming freshman and have AP scores for multiple math and science courses. Any reason not to take the credits and skip those courses?
It all depends on what you view as the quality of your preparation. Many students wish they hadn't passed out of courses because 1) they can solidify the material much better in a new setting, and 2) getting good grades in classes builds confidence for more difficult classes and should help your GPA. Reasons to take the AP credit are 1) to have lesser course loads each semester, and by extension more free time, or 2) to be able to minor or otherwise diversify your educational experience.
Is there a preference for BIOMG 1350 over BIOG 1440 for the introductory bio course?
No. But you cannot affiliate with the ecology version of biology. However, if you are pre-med, we would suggest you take BIOMG 1350. BME 2010 (Physiology of Human Health and Disease) can be used to satisfy your biology requirement for medical school applications in place of BIOG 1440.
Do you require a specific Introduction to Computing (CS 1110, 1112, 1114, or 1115) course in order to affiliate to BME?
No. Any of these courses will satisfy the Engineering Common Core CS requirement. However, due to the nature of some upper-level courses and professor preferences, we strongly recommend students take a Matlab-based section (CS 1112 preferred).
Is there a recommended pre-med course sequence published?
Yes. While paths may vary depending upon AP credit, we have created an example pre-med course plan to graduate in four years with an undergraduate degree while satisfying pre-med requirements. You can review the example path here.
Will CHEM 3570 (Org Chem) be a suitable replacement for CHEM 1570 (Intro to Org/Bio Chem)?
CHEM 1570 can be satisfied by the pre-medicine sequence, so those students who take organic chemistry and biochemistry do not need to take CHEM 1570.
What is the process for certification for the B.S. biomedical engineering degree?
A completed graduation checklist will be reviewed by the student and undergraduate coordinator in the student's second-to-last semester and again in the student's final semester. Graduation dates are January, May, and August. Outstanding graduation-related paperwork is to be completed and submitted prior to graduation. All credits (including AP credits and petitioned credit) need to appear on transcripts or credit to be applied.
I have additional questions. Whom should I contact?
You can email the Undergraduate Coordinator (firstname.lastname@example.com) with any additional questions.
How do I enroll in the biomedical engineering minor?
Learn about enrolling in our Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Program.
Who is eligible for the biomedical engineering minor?
All undergraduates in the College of Engineering, College of Arts and Sciences, and College of Agriculture and Life Sciences are eligible to participate in the biomedical engineering minor. However, students may participate in only one of the bioengineering options: the biological engineering minor, or the biomedical engineering minor.
What are the requirements for the minor?
The full list of requirements can be found on the applying to the minor page.
Can I double count courses for my major and the minor?
Double counting is when you use a course that is required for your major as one of your six BME minor courses. Two of the six courses can be used directly from your major requirements or double counted. If the particular course is cross-listed with a minor course then it is still double counting. Note that double counting does NOT include major electives.
Do I have to fill out a declaration of interest form?
There is no longer a declaration process. It is now like any other minor offered by the college.
How do I receive credit for the minor?
Seniors usually submit a minor certification form a month or so before commencement. In order to receive credit for the biomedical engineering minor you must do the following:
- Pick up the BME minor certification form in Engineering Advising Office in 167 Olin Hall.
- Request a copy of your transcript.
- Underline or circle the minor courses on the transcript. Remember to include the required 501 seminar.
- Print out any communication (email) or petitions concerning specially approved minor courses.
- Complete the form, sign and date it. Submit the completed certification form, transcript and any special approvals/petitions to front desk in 120 Olin Hall.
- Receive your major degree.
Certification forms with pending grades will be held until the grades are posted. Certification of the minor begins after commencement and major degrees have been awarded. Once the major degree has been posted to your academic record the minor can be noted on the transcript. This notation is usually entered by the registrar several weeks after graduation.
Do BME minors ever go into medical school to pursue biomedical engineering?
Yes, though most pursue a Ph.D. and conduct research. You may find the information on this website helpful.

The best time to make a decision about purchasing new windows is not while a tropical storm is whipping up in the Caribbean. Hasty decisions to get hurricane protection installed on your home (or any structure) will rarely result in the purchase and installation of the proper type of product or degree of protection. We tend to get anxious and forget the most important rule of common sense purchasing – don't purchase a big ticket item without making sure it is what you want or what you need. No one likes to feel taken advantage of nor do they enjoy finding out, after the fact, that they didn't make the best purchase. Impact-rated windows (sometimes referred to as just "impact windows") are one such item that many homeowners feel compelled to buy without doing the proper research. If you don't get the pertinent information it's easy to make a poor choice that could result in buyer's remorse. Here are a few tips and some information to help guide you in your decision making:For more information, visit their website at impact windows .
Old isn't bad. Before you even consider new windows – impact-rated or non-rated – have an independent energy audit performed on your current windows. Most power companies like TECO, FPL or Duke Energy should perform this service for nothing. A professional audit can run as much as $500. You may find out from the audit that spending just a few hundred dollars to weatherize your current windows may save a fair amount of money on your energy bill. You may even find out the you will save even bigger bucks by not needing new windows at all.
Even if your windows are old they may still be good – especially if they are old wood windows. Installing some replacement felt strips, a few seals and some caulk can make a world of difference in the performance of your current windows. Don't think that new windows will be the solution to water leakage, either. Even brand new windows can allow water to get into your home in an amount that is "within manufacturer's acceptable standards". Unfortunately, this is a phrase commonly used to address warranty issues regarding leakage of both air and water. For some reason their "acceptable standards" never seem to be as high as the ones that you thought that you paid for when you signed their contract.
Hurricane proof? Impact-rated windows are a "sacrificial" form of hurricane protection. They are designed to break but after they are broken they are not supposed to allow the wind to pressurize the interior of the building. Many folks misunderstand the term "impact-rated" thinking that it means "unbreakable" or "hurricane proof". None of these terms are accurate. In fact, impact-rated windows break a lot easier that window companies would like you to know. Just to be clear, there is no such thing as a hurricane proof window or unbreakable window for residential use available from any of the major U.S. window manufacturers.
There are lots of online videos that show you the mess that results from a broken impact-rated window. If you don't want the expense, mess and inconvenience of replacing them after they suffer storm breakage, vandalism or a maintenance accident, you need to protect them.

Louis Tomlinson's Mystery Kissing Girl Identified — Report
She's got a name! The mystery girl who was seen kissing Louis in Thailand after his breakup has been reportedly identified, and her best friend claims to have juicy details from their hot hangout session!
Does Louis Tomlinson, 23, have a new girl? The One Direction singer was seen kissing a mystery pool girl in Thailand on March 14, and her identity has finally been revealed as 20-year-old Lucy Julian, according to a report. We've got details on Lucy, including her best friend's claims about her pool time with Louis!
Louis Tomlinson's Kissing Girl: Lucy Julian Identified As Girl From Pool
The girl who Louis was reportedly kissing "on and off for about 15 minutes" on March 14 after a One Direction concert has been identified as Lucy Julian, Daily Mail reports.
Lucy is the daughter of American clothing designer Alexander Julian. She lives in Connecticut but is currently a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She's reportedly studying abroad at Bangkok's King Mongkut's University of Technology with students from her environmental studies program.
Lucy's best friend Kyja Kutnick revealed details about Lucy's sexy hangout session with Louis. "She's definitely not embarrassed but they were incredibly strict," Kyja told The Sun. "Louis' security took her phone away from her. I'm not going to share the dirty details."
There were rumors that the lady Louis was pictured kissing was a girl from the band's "What Makes You Beautiful" music video, but Louis' camp shut down that rumor. The pictures of Louis reportedly kissing Lucy surfaced just a week after Louis split with longtime girlfriend Eleanor Calder.
What a crazy few weeks it's been for One Direction, especially since Zayn Malik quit the band!
HollywoodLife.com has reached out for comment.
One Direction: Will The Band Replace Zayn Malik?
Zayn announced he was leaving One Direction for good after dropping out of the band's world tour due to "stress." Fans were devastated that the five member boy band was now only down to four. HollywoodLife.com has learned EXCLUSIVELY whether or not the band will end up filling Zayn's place.
"Not that this should be a surprise whatsoever to anyone, but One Direction will never add a new member to the group." a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "So all the new members rumored and the Wikipedia changes will always be clearly a joke!"
Whew! Zayn could and should never be replaced!
HollywoodLifers, do you think Louis is ready to move on to another girl? Let us know!

Dreaming of Anna returns in sprint
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Trainer Wayne Catalano had three choices for Eclipse Award winner Dreaming of Anna's 3-year-old debut this winter at Gulfstream Park. There was the 6 1/2-furlong Old Hat or one-mile Davona Dale Stakes on Saturday, or the Gaily Gaily Stakes over the turf two weeks later.
The suspense ended early Thursday afternoon when Saturday's overnight revealed Catalano had decided on the $150,000 Old Hat, much to the chagrin of the connections of the five other 3-year-old fillies entered in the Grade 3 dash.
The Old Hat will be Dreaming of Anna's first start since she won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies to put an exclamation point on a perfect 2-year-old campaign.
"I just decided I'd rather bring her back going 6 1/2 furlongs rather than a mile," said Catalano, who trains Dreaming of Anna for owner Frank Calabrese. "I think a one-turn mile is probably the toughest race for a horse. And this also gives us another option to fall back on if something should happen during the next 48 hours."
Shortening up to a sprint after winning her last two starts around two turns should be no problem to Dreaming of Anna, a daughter of Rahy, who won her debut going 4 1/2 furlongs at Arlington Park and the Tippett Stakes at 5 1/2 furlongs over the turf at Colonial Downs.
Catalano said his main goal at the moment is the Grade 1 Ashland at Keeneland, although he won't rule out the possibility of starting the filly in the Kentucky Derby.
"Right now the Derby is too far off to really think about," said Catalano. "We'll just see how the picture starts developing and how she's doing at the time before making that decision."
Dreaming of Anna's regular jockey, Rene Douglas, who resumed riding here two weeks ago after being denied the privileges of the grounds when the meet opened, will retain the mount in the Old Hat.
Dreaming of Anna's chief competition could come from Dream Rush, who suffered her first setback in three starts when she was upset as the 1-5 favorite by Secretsoftheheart in a second-level allowance on Jan.o20. A daughter of Wild Rush, Dream Rush was victimized by a tough trip when she got trapped behind horses after rating off the early pace.
"I wanted to try to teach her to rate last time instead of getting her in the habit of being strictly a speed horse, and she wound up getting in trouble," said trainer Rick Violette.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Developmental Scientific Research (B)
In the development of new remedies, the use of animals in evaluating drug safety is costly, time-consuming and increasingly criticized by animal-welfare groups. Alternative methods have been expected to reduce the number of animals needed. In this study, we attempted to establish in vitro method for the evaluation of the drug absorption and secretion using cultured intestinal and renal epithelial cells.1) Characterization of intestinal and renal epithelial cell cultures: The human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 and the pig kidney epithelial cell line LLC-PK_1 grown on microporous membrane filters (Transwell^<TM>) were used as models for the analysis of epithelial functions in the intestine and in the proximal tubules.2) Drug transport in the Caco-2 cell monolayers: The accumulation and the transepithelial transport of p.o. cephalosporins and bestatin by Caco-2 cell monolayers were unidirectional, corresponding to the absorptive process in the intestinal mucosa. The accumulation and the transepithelial transport were inhibited by dipeptides, and were stimulated by acidifying the apical incubation medium, suggesting the H^+/dipeptide cotrasport system.3) Drug transport in the LLC-PK_1 cell monolayers: Tetraethylammonium, cimetidine, procainamide and quinidine (organic cations) were accumulated progressively in the LLC-PK_1 cell monolayers from the basolateral side and were transported unidirectionally to the apical side, corresponding to the secretion in the proximal tubules. The transcellular transport of these drugs was saturable and was stimulated by lowering pH of the apical side, indicating the H^+/organic cation antiport system.In conclusion, the Caco-2 and the LLC-PK_1 cell monolayers grown on microporous membrane filters can be useful model systems to evaluate the drug absorption and secretion and to study the drug interaction.

I hope your Saturday is going well. Here is my watercolor for day #151.
Similar idea as yesterday's. Can you tell I like to stick to an idea for a few days? It makes things a little easier for me, so I don't worry about coming up with something new every day.
Today the high school was doing a fund raiser for Locks of Love. Molly was planning all week to get her hair cut. This is her third time of donating her hair, so a wig can be made. The school was asking for at least 6 inches, because locks of love sells the hair to pay for its expenses. The amount to cut off for a wig to be made is 10 inches. When Molly told me about it, I decided early on that I would cut my hair as well, I just I didn't tell anyone : ). I wanted to do my little part as well. We went to the fund raiser but they didn't have enough stylists there to cut all they people they had showing up. They were offering other suggestions, so we ran to a local salon, got our hair cut and brought back the hair to them. Here we are.
That's all for now. Have a great evening and thanks for stopping by.
Take care,

The Emotion Code uses kinesiology or muscle testing to identify trapped emotions and patterns contributing to symptoms you are experiencing.
We all experience emotions as a result of our thoughts, and our emotions can get trapped. This is usually happening subconsciously and happens to all of us; it is part of being human that we can experience our feelings via thought.
Though all emotions are normal, some have "heavier" energies or a different "quality" to them. If you have seen the movie "Inside Out," you may have felt similarly to me that each emotion has an endearing quality and a "personality" all it's own.
We are energetic beings and our subconscious mind is aware and contributes to maintaining balance. We have and maintain a strong electrical and magnetic field around our body. It is altered with negative trapped emotions and other factors. My work is to determine what those factors may be and then to remove the trapped emotional patterns.
When this "emotional baggage" accumulates we may notice other symptoms and by removing these invisible drains, shifts are often noticed as the freedom resulting from removing the negative and often draining trapped emotions helps clear a more unobstructed path to it's own innate healing ability. Like the sun being behind the clouds on a cloudy day, so too, are these invisible trapped emotions. We may not see them or know they are there but our subconscious does and we may be acting from those patterns.
We can change our thoughts in an instant or even choose to "look" at a different thought process instead of "the same old thing." Yet, so often we keep doing what we are used to doing out of habit, and this can be connected to having trapped emotions as contributing factors towards these patterns. There are numerous examples such as choosing "certain types of relationships," or reaching for foods that you just said you wanted to shift away from eating or responding to stress in similar ways each time.
Combined with my intuitive and empathic nature, I use my training as a Certified Emotional Code Practitioner to support this process of removing energetic blockages, leaving you free to live your life with more joy and balance. It is powerful and effective for adults, children and animals too.
"Many people have found that when they free themselves of their trapped emotions they are able to live healthier and happier lives. A single trapped emotion can create both physical and emotional problems."
– Dr. Bradley Nelson, The Emotion Code,
(NV: Wellness Unmasked Publishing, 2007).

INITIAL ONE HOUR SESSION (Available In person, Phone or Email)
For your initial session, we will begin with an evaluation. This will include nutritional and other needs and intentions for your health. We will develop a plan to support you in reaching your goals. This session will identify factors draining your energy, contributing to persistent symptoms and imbalances. Specific food, supplements, tests, and other suggestions to help optimize your health will be addressed as indicated. We will determine the presence of a heart-wall during this initial time and will also begin releasing trapped emotions. In addition, we will outline a plan for moving forward a lighter "emotional load" and a revealing of the innate health within.
FOLLOW UP SESSIONS (Available In person, Phone or Email)
We will continue to address goals established during our initial session and release trapped emotions, imbalances and address deficiencies and other variables identified. If a heart-wall is present, we can prepare you for it to be cleared. Releasing old trapped emotions, combined with meeting nutritional needs, support for changing habits and tangible suggestions for simplifying your life will result in more freedom and ease for you to live your heart-felt life!
IMMUNITY BOOST SESSIONS (Email or Text)
This session includes help in a jiffy if you feel like you are getting sick or you have kids who do. It also can include additional support with a protocol you are following to gain added testing in determining your body's connection with what options are available to you. Testing your immune system's strength both from physical and emotional stress is included. Suggestions are made to improve and boost you towards optimum health. I provide suggestions for foods, supplements, herbs, essential oils, homeopathic or other remedies and practices. Trapped emotions and possible patterns contributing to a lowered immune system will be cleared. People have texted me from the grocery asking about certain remedies or suggestions. This also includes checking in with you until your immune system improves over the course of a healing episode. This session does not replace medical advice. It is a tool to support you and your loved ones.
HEART-WALL CLEARING PACKAGE (Email or Text)
(Pre-requisite of an initial and often at least one follow up session prior to clearing a heart-wall).
While studying pre and perinatal education, I was amazed to learn that the heart is the first organ that develops in utero. In some research, the heart is referred to as a "second brain."
Dr. Bradley Nelson, the Founder of The Emotion Code says "Your heart is constantly sending out information to your body. Every beat carries critical messages that affect your emotional and physical health."
A heart wall consists of layers of trapped emotions around the heart. It is estimated by Dr. Nelson that 93% of the human population have a heart wall. He says "It's a way our subconscious mind creates "an energy wall" to protect your heart." I have found that the heart-wall hampers your ability to give and receive love and to feel good emotions. Having a heart-wall contributes to feelings of isolation, and can create depression as well as other problems.
In our initial session, I will check to see if there is a heart wall. This wall has served an important purpose for us at the time it developed. Though a high percentage of people have one, it is in your own timing that you will be ready to remove it. I invite you to experience letting go of trapped emotions so that you can live more from your heart and remain open to true love. Removing a heart wall often takes 3-5 sessions, via email and distance/proxy. This package includes the removal of your heart wall, no matter how many sessions.
In this section, find Dr. Bradley Nelson's answers to many commonly asked questions.
"Muscle testing is a noninvasive tool we can use to identify imbalances in the body. The science behind it is similar to a lie detector test or a polygraph. In a polygraph, a person is hooked up to sensitive electrodes and asked certain questions. The person's answers generate a certain electrical response in the body, which is read and graphed by the machine, showing if the answers are true or false. This is done on a very delicate, minute scale. The muscles of the body are also affected by this electrical state- so we can use them to show this same response, just on a more pronounced, larger scale. Any muscle will become weakened in a state of incongruence or falsehood, making resistance difficult. Conversely, muscles will remain strong and able to resist when in a state of congruency or truth. What's nice is that muscle testing allows us to access important information about health, we just have to know what questions to ask, then apply the resistance to a muscle and get our answers!"
"Just about everyone has some amount of emotional baggage from painful life events, right? It's not all in your head! Emotional baggage is very real, and although it's invisible it can really mess up your happiness, your success and your health. It's like lugging around a suitcase from every difficult event you've gone through- eventually the load gets too heavy not to notice. I call each "suitcase" a Trapped Emotion- a bit of emotional energy that was created, by you, during an emotional event, and got stuck in your body somewhere."
"Trapped Emotions are literally like balls of energy, vibrating at different frequencies depending on what the emotion is (for example, Anger is a different vibration than Sadness or Insecurity). Trapped Emotions are negative, destructive vibrations, and tend to affect the body wherever they are stuck, creating pain and malfunction of bodily tissues, even disease. They can also cause depression, anxiety and loads of emotional problems."
"During times of emotional pain or distress, your heart can be really hurt or injured- this is where the words "heartache" and "heartbreak" come from. Sometimes we need to put up a form of protection, or a "wall" around the heart – but you can't build a wall of nothing, right? What ends up being used as "building materials" are the most common excess energies in the body- Trapped Emotions. The problem is that the Heart-Wall doesn't dissolve on its own, even if you don't need it anymore. Having a Heart-Wall long-term is like living in a bomb shelter- it's necessary short-term to protect you while the "bombs" are falling, but if you continue to "live" in there you'll feel sad, disconnected, frustrated and you could even end up with heart disease or other heart problems down the road. The Heart-Wall can be removed, one emotion at a time- freeing you to live from your heart, create abundance and find true love. Now that's what life is all about!"
Proxy testing is muscle testing that is done on a proxy- a person who acts in place of another person. If Jane in England wants to help Alice in Australia, she can act as proxy for Alice herself, using self-testing, or she can also have an assistant act as proxy for Alice. Then Jane can carry out the work as normal, just as if Alice were right there, and all the while intending to help Alice. When Jane is done, she or her assistant will make sure to disconnect again from Alice- just like hanging up the phone at the end of a chat.
Actually, proxy testing works quite a bit like how cellular phones work. Our bodies have a built-in capability to quickly and easily "dial" someone else, and create an energetic connection with them. Once you're connected, you can get answers about what is going on with this other person's body, because you're picking up their energetic signal. Then once you know what needs to be fixed, you can fix it on the proxy person as well, and it corrects the problem on the person who you're intending to help, no matter how far away they are.
"Doing The Emotion Code is like doing surgery on the energy body. We are literally looking for "malignant" or harmful energies that need to be removed, then we remove them, and the energy body has to heal and reorganize or regain it's balance. If you were to do actual surgery to have a tumor removed, you would expect to have at least a few days of downtime afterward. Your surgeon would also likely tell you what to expect during this healing time, and he or she would also advise you to get extra rest in order to allow the body to heal. The advice after a session with The Emotion Code is just about the same! Be aware that if you feel out of sorts, have changes in your sleeping pattern, vivid dreams or emotional ups and downs, this is totally normal! Drink lots of water, eat healthy and get lots of rest, and let your energy body heal itself. You may not notice anything weird or negative, you might just feel great, but it's better to be aware just in case."
