The Benefits of Car & Vehicle Signage
- 23:56
- By Zac Ferry
- 0 Comments
Car and vehicle signage is an excellent marketing tool for every business. Now in this corporate world, people run after their promotion, advertising and branding tools to increase their popularity and car and vehicle signage can play an important role for your promotional events. You can transform your car into a promotional tool and use some car & vehicle signage for branding your business. Vehicle signage is also known as vehicle graphic art that helps to promote your newly launched brand effectively. For example, if you just have launched a new product under your company brand, then you can create some vehicle signage and paste them on your car to promote your brand. The public, who pass in the nearby cars, can easily notice your signage and would get to know about their products. Event some public transports like buses, trains and airbus are also allow you to use your promotional vehicle signage on their vehicles, and in this way, you can reach maximum potential customers.
Benefits of Car and Vehicle Signage:
|Car & Vehicle Signage
- Vehicle is not just a means of your transportation; if you consider it in other aspect then you can use your vehicle as your mobile advertising tool. But covering the full vehicle with some signage or wrapping the car with some advertising logos, catchy lines or graphics is very costly. So, if you have small budget then you can still use signage but lesser on your vehicle and promote your brand.
- For each type of advertising, you need a platform like for print media advertising, you need to publish your business advertisings in the newspapers and magazine and for the television advertising, you need to create some ad by casting some models and artists. For these advertising methods, you need to spend additional cost for using these platforms. But when you promote your brand through car and vehicle signage, you do not need to spend this mush cost as you can use your own company cars and paste your signage on these vehicles to promote your brands.
- Traditional advertising methods are very expensive, and you need to employ some staffs, hire some designers and installers and then you need to spend more amounts for renting the signboards. But vehicle signage can cut this cost as you can simply design your own promotional signage with logo, graphics and with minimum contents, and then you can paste them on your cars. So, when you drive your car, people can easily see your signage and they can visit your stores or avail your services afterward.
Why Would You Use the Car and Vehicle Signage?
Car and vehicle signage is a part of the outdoor media strategy and people use this strategy to attract average customers when they travel on the roads. A signage can be used as references in car wraps, graphics, catchphrases, logos and car signs. By spending a small amount on your car and vehicle signage advertising tools you can get long term returns, because you are mainly targeting normal people by using this moving advertising method. Apart from your small cars, sedan or SUVs, you can also use these car and vehicle signage on heavy vehicles like trucks, lorry and on trailers. These heavy vehicles mainly transport goods from one state to another, and if you use your signage on these heavy vehicles then you can also cover wide market areas.
So now, you can use some vehicle signage as your promotional tools, and you can save your advertising cost. It is very important to hire some creative agency to design your vehicle signage, because they are experienced and they can design your signage in a way that can attract a lot of attention.

C.Z. Guest, a famous gardener and arbiter of good taste, once said all a wonderful bedroom needs is a "divine" bed.
When it comes right down to it, I agree. Although we tend to add books, papers, carafes for water, chairs and the ubiquitous flat screen television, it really is about a good night's rest! A beautifully made bed, a sense of order, and the job is done.
Take notice, though C.Z. uses the word "divine- a word defined as "heavenly, surpassing excellence".
A luxurious bed is the centerpiece. Here is where our design thoughts reveal a glimpse into our personal preferences. When one thinks about it, this should be the most personal space in our home. To me, this means the best linens I can afford, and I prefer white with lovely colored border details. I like cotton blankets and a duvet at the end of the bed waiting to be used on chilly nights. And I love old-fashioned blanket covers in seersucker or plisse. That is everyday luxury. There is nothing better than the first night of clean sheets.
As for a bed covered in pillows, it becomes a matter of personal taste. If it doesn't suite you to have layers of pillows, try placing two sets of sleeping pillows flat on the bed and use one larger pillow between the sets in a great print or accent solid hue. Simple and great-looking.
Good night! Sleep tight!
My best,

press release
Ogunquit Playhouse to Present the Glorious Musical, Les Misérables
For Immediate Release:
September 3, 2008
Autumn brings the celebrated musical, Les Misérables, to the Ogunquit Playhouse stage September 10 through October 12, with a once-in-a-lifetime, all-star cast. Les Misérables is based on the novel by Victor Hugo, detailing the trials of France's lower class and exemplifying the triumph of human spirit. Its uplifting message of hope, its grand epic tale and glorious music has made it the longest running musical of all time.
The Ogunquit Playhouse is thrilled to present another star-studded cast for its first-rate production of the beloved musical. ANDREA MCARDLE, who will reprise her Broadway role, first captured the hearts of theatergoers everywhere in 1977 when she originated the title role in the mega-musical Annie, based on the popular Harold Gray comic strip Little Orphan Annie. Since then, she has starred in several Broadway musicals, performed in concert halls from Carnegie Hall to the Las Vegas Hilton to the Hong Kong Philharmonic as well as several remarkable televisions appearances and at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Cabaret.
Also reprising his Broadway role is veteran performer IVAN RUTHERFORD, as Jean Valjean. His many Broadway credits include Les Misérables (Jean Valjean 10th Anniversary Co., 2007 revival) and Titanic. Ivan has performed the role of Jean Valjean over 2000 times on Broadway and across the nation, and received a "Best Actor" nomination from the 1st Annual National Broadway Theatre Awards held at the Supper Club in NYC.
Returning to the Playhouse are TODD ALAN JOHNSON (Javert) after appearing in last season's The King & I, MARY CALLANAN (Madame Thenardier) who appeared in Grease (Miss Lynch), RYAN LANDRY (Thenardier), a Playhouse favorite, who most recently portrayed Roger Debris in Mel Brooks' smash hit, The Producers and JOSH YOUNG (Marius) who is thrilled to return to Ogunquit after making his professional theatrical debut here with Evita in 2003. Since then Josh has played in the National Tour of Les Misérables (Marius) and in the International Tour of West Side Story.
JOSH TOWER (Enjolras, Chain Gang) is making his Ogunquit Playhouse debut as Enjolras, after a five year run on Broadway in Disney's The Lion King's Simba.
ALEXIS KALEHOFF (Eponine) the daughter of Andrea McArdle and legendary Composer/Producer (Edd Kalehoff) will portray Eponine. Alexis made her Broadway debut in the original production of Les Miserable's as young Cosette/Gavroche at age 8. Alexis has appeared in Annie Get Your Gun (Nellie), Oliver (Fagins Boys), Regional & National Tour Productions. Her television credits include soloist in ABC's "Disney Christmas Spectacular," ABC's "Soul Man," "Andrea McArdles on Broadway" PBS Special. She has appeared at Radio City with Bernadette Peters.
Les Miserables is directed by SHAUN KERRISON, who just completed My Fair Lady for the Ogunquit Playhouse, after staging the show all over the world with Trevor Nunn. Among Shaun Kerrison's many achievements are positions as Associate Director of Les Misérables at the Palace Theatre in London and Tour Director for the national company, Associate Director of My Fair Lady at both the National Theatre and Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the Associate Director on J M Barrie's original play of Peter Pan and The Pirates of Penzance, both at The Savoy Theatre, London, the resident director of The Lion King (Lyceum) and last year staged Les Misérables in concert for a special gala performance at Windsor Castle to celebrate 100 years of the Entente Cordiale, for Her Majesty the Queen and President Chirac.
Les Misérables is the longest-running musical in the world, the third longest-running show in Broadway history and has been seen by over 53 million people in 38 countries and 21 languages since its first London performance in October 1985. The original Broadway production opened in 1987, at the Broadway Theatre, winning seven Tony Awards that season, including Best Musical. It has won over 50 major theatre awards. Its Tony® Award-winning score includes the songs "I Dreamed a Dream," "Do You Hear the People Sing?," "One Day More," and "On My Own." The Playhouse is delighted to close out the 2008 season with this legendary musical masterpiece.
Come see why this inspirational story resonates with one and all. The timeless power of the show is sure to be an unforgettable experience both for new audiences and "serial Les Miz-ers." Les Mis runs September 10 through October 12, including matinee performances every weekend. Tickets are available by calling the box office at 207-646-5511 or online at www.ogunquitplayhouse.org.

Live streaming is becoming an increasingly powerful and popular tool for businesses, and individuals, looking to provide people a behind-the-scenes look at an event, process or organization.
Applications like Periscope and Meerkat, both still relatively new to the world of social media, are growing in popularity and audience by the day.
It almost seems as though every time I log in to Periscope, I discover a number of friends and businesses that just created their profiles.
There are a ton of reasons why applications that provide a live-broadcasting service are growing in popularity. I could spend hours writing about the different benefits that organizations and brands can provide to their audiences by connecting via live-stream.
However, to air on the side of brevity, here are the top four reasons why I think mobile broadcasting is booming, and why you need to set up a profile for your small business:
- Social media is becoming a visually-dominated space: Any article you read will show you the strong statistics that prove photos and videos are the future of social media. People have become lazy and don't want to read text anymore. When all your fans need to do to get a behind-the-scenes look at your event or business is open an app, it makes it much easier for them to take action and tap in.
- Fear of missing out is real: It's exciting to feel like you're a part of the action. The great thing about these applications is they enable you to feel that way regardless of where you live, and whether you can get to the event or organization in person. Viewing broadcasts on Periscope make you feel like you're really there.
- Real-time drives results: People enjoy, and seek out, opportunities to get involved in something in real-time. Why do you think Twitter chats have become such a powerful tool for organizations? Using a live-streaming app lets your audience get engaged with you in real-time, and also provides them the opportunity to ask questions. (Periscope has a chat feature.) This means that as a business, you can connect to your customers immediately, while also providing them with answers and information that they're looking for on the spot.
- Show your human side: Live-streaming applications provide you with the opportunity to showcase the human side of your business. Take them on an office tour or backstage at an event, or maybe feature your President or senior team… Regardless, it's a great way to show the faces of the people who do the work, and doing that will undoubtedly make your audience feel more connected to you.
I highly encourage you to hop on Twitter and create your Periscope profile today so that you can start to use this technology as a way to connect, inspire, inform and educate your audience.

Late March saw Mountain guide Gary and two German lads ( who have been working on a local region vineyard ) head into Tasman Saddle for a week for a private mountaineering instruction course. Although the glacier was heavily crevassed, which is to be expected at this time of the year, conditions were especially good for learning cramponing technique and glacier travel.

Climbing in Europe, mountaineering instruction
Another rainy start to the week in Leysin but as per this weather link the forcast is not too bad for the next couple of days. Gaz and his ISM team went from rock climbing in St Triphon to Orny hut in the heavy downpours. This was followed by an absolutely stunning day yesterday, climbing Tête Blanche and Petite Fourche. Today, they relocated to Arolla via another rock climbing and/or rope and knot work session at Dorénaz with more rain, a real mixed bag of xxx

Mountaineering instruction courses in New Zealand
A few months ago, we heard from Mic who had climbed Mt Cook as well as Mt Tasman with Gaz some years ago. He was keen to introduce his son Pat to Alpinism adventures and last month, together with his longtime mountaineering buddy Monty, the threesome arrived for a seven day mountaineering instruction course. At the base, this was the opportunity to finalize the latest Adventure Tourism auditing request and then our team hit the road to Fox Glacier; photos on the last blog but here now the feedback:
from Monty, after his fourth trip:
" Thank you very much again for a wonderful and friendly experience. I always come away from climbing trips with 'Gaz' with more confidence and desire for more mountain excursions. I know Mick and I will be planning our next trip as soon as we get back home. Gaz, your patient tutorial towards Pat in getting him to understand the complexity of climbing and how he can still enjoy it was most beneficial & assuring. A great mentor.
Iris, your hospitality as always was warm and generous. Till next time, Monty"
Thanks Monty, we look forward to it!

Obama offers contest for schools
Dangling the promise of $5 billion in grants, President Obama pressured states to embrace his ideas for overhauling the nation's schools, ideas that include performance pay for teachers and charter schools.
To get the money, state officials may have to do things they, or the teachers' unions, dislike. But in a recession that is starving state budgets, the new "Race to the Top" fund is proving impossible for some states to resist.
Already, seven states -- Tennessee, Rhode Island, Indiana, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Colorado and Illinois -- have lifted restrictions on charter schools so they can compete for the money.
"Not every state will win, and not every school district will be happy with the results," the president said Friday. "But America's children, America's economy, America itself will be better for it."
Officials from nearly a dozen states, including Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire, a Democrat, and Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, a Republican, joined Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan Friday at the Education Department to announce the rules for the competition.
Broadly speaking, the president wants states to do four things he considers to be reforms -- toughen academic standards, find better ways to recruit and keep effective teachers, track student performance and have a plan of action to turn around failing schools.
The nation cannot succeed in the 21st century unless it does a much better job of educating its children, Obama said.
"In a world where countries that out-educate us today will out-compete us tomorrow, the future belongs to the nation that best educates its people, period," Obama said. "We know this. But we also know that today, our education system is falling short."
Obama can't really tell states and schools what to do, since education has been a state and local responsibility throughout the history of this country. But he has considerable leverage in his ability to reward states that follow his path and withhold money from those that don't.
The $5 billion fund was part of the economic stimulus law passed earlier this year. It is a fraction of the $100 billion that was included for schools, but the fund is massive compared with the estimated $16 million in discretionary money Duncan's predecessors got each year for their own priorities.
"None of them had the resources to encourage innovation that we have today," Duncan said.

Comic book and movie fans have proven that no official announcement regarding Batman vs. Superman is too small to make headlines, and when word broke of the film's official title, online debate raged. Several fans had pitched possible titles for months, but nobody saw Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice coming. Whether considered evocative, over-stuffed, or just plain bad, some online commenters got more creative with their responses than others.
Just as was the case with the first image of Ben Affleck in costume as Batman, those with an eye for wit, scorn or simple comedy fed off of the superhero franchise. The official title has yet to inspire as lasting or iconic an internet meme as 'Sad Batman,' but there's no arguing that a title as lengthy as Dawn of Justice provides infinitely more material in the coming months.
Whether you're of the opinion that the film's title is a complete disaster, dooming the project to fail or ultimately a non-factor when the film hits theaters, we've gathered up some of our favorite reactions to the announcement, reminding us all that loving our heroes doesn't always mean holding them above criticism.
We begin, of course, with the negative:
Riddle me this! Why is the new Batman title so terrible?

"Dawn of Justice" sounds less like a superhero movie & more like a TNT show about a lawyer named Dawn. — Funny Or Die (@funnyordie) May 21, 2014
Once the attacks subsided (whether well-deserved or not), more onlookers decided to try their hand at bringing something new to the title, even putting forward better candidates, or looking on the bright side of a Batman/Superman showdown:

— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) May 21, 2014
Opinion doesn't seem to be anywhere near as evenly split as Ben Affleck's casting, or even the bigger and broader Batsuit, as a majority of the online sentiment seems skeptical at best (as has been the case with most news regarding the production). For our part, there's no question that Warner Bros. has decided to position the Man of Steel sequel as a precursor to the already confirmed Justice League in a way that no casual moviegoer can miss. But in all honesty, it's impossible to know how tied to the film's themes the title will prove, as next to nothing is known about the actual story it will be telling.
Surprising comic book fans with the unexpected is a risky proposition for any director, and there's no question that fans have put forward some catchy titles of their own. No matter what the title, there were going to be some who felt that Snyder and the studio missed an opportunity.
Of course, we'll leave you with one important fact that's worth remembering:
When referring to Dr. Strangelove, how often do you use it's entire title?
— Dan Trachtenberg (@DannyTRS) May 21, 2014
Those are the best reactions we found to the title, but we welcome you to share your own in the comments below. Is this a misstep that could end up costing the filmmakers? Or is any subtitle merely an afterthought when 'Batman vs. Superman' hits theaters?
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is scheduled to release May 6, 2016.

The Truth About Blood Types
Can your blood type tell you whether you'll get oral cancer or heart disease? What you should eat to live longer? Who you should marry? We sort through the myriad claims to separate the truth from the hype.
Diet and Nutrition
The Claim: Dr. Peter D'Adamo, a naturopathic physician and author of Eat Right for Your Type -- a long-running New York Times bestseller and the bible for many, including celebrities like Demi Moore and Elizabeth Hurley -- believes one's blood type should determine one's diet. Type O people can consume a lot of meat; type As should be vegetarians; type Bs are natural omnivores; and ABs should eat several small meals a day. The reason: the proteins in food, he says, interact with your blood cells. If they're compatible, you'll digest them easily; if not, your body will mount an immune response, resulting over time in weight gain, susceptibility to various diseases and early aging.
Truth or Hype?: "It makes sense," says Gary Taubes, an award-winning science journalist and founder of the non-profit The Nutrition Science Initiative, "but the world is full of theories that make sense. The question is: Has it been tested?" And the answer to that question is no. Despite claiming a scientific basis to his ideas, D'Adamo offers up no randomized, controlled studies to back them up. Consequently, he has garnered mostly skepticism from doctors and nutritionists.
Disease Risk
The Claim: Scan the health headlines and you'll likely find a story linking your blood type to a worrying disease. A large number of studies have shown clear connections between one's blood type and their disease risk. Among the most recent is a meta-analysis by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, which found that people with type AB blood have the highest risk of developing heart disease, while those with type O blood have the lowest. Other studies have linked type O to fertility problems; AB to deep vein thrombosis; B to anemia; and A to oral cancer and skin cancer.
Truth or Hype?: What does it all mean? Not a lot, says Taubes. "Correlation is not causation," he explains. "The fundamental problem with all of these observational studies is that it tells you nothing about what triggers the disease." In other words, a study found that countries with the highest chocolate consumption also had the most Nobel prize winners, but that doesn't mean eating chocolate is the reason why. As Dr. Steven Masley, president and medical director of the Masley Optimal Health Center in St. Petersburg, Florida, says, these studies are "interesting" but not worth worrying about at this point in time.
Personality Traits
The Claim: Are you an anxiety-prone type A? Cheerful type B? Extroverted O? In Japan and Korea, the idea that blood type determines your personality is so ingrained that a person's blood type can influence where they work, who they marry, and even where their kids go to kindergarten.
Truth or Hype?: There is no solid evidence that blood type is linked to personality traits. Research on the matter is inconclusive, with some studies showing a link, others not. Many studies can't even agree on which personality traits go with which blood type. There are plenty of books and websites catering to those seeking a blood type/personality connection. If you're a horoscope nut looking for a new way to sniff out potential lovers and the like, have at it -- but take the advice with a grain of salt.

PSA: We are having a last minute promo for our Yoga Retreat in Italy coming right up in just a few weeks. If you're interested in coming along, email jan (at) yogabycandace for more info.
I shot this sequence at the tail end of my trip to Costa Rica in an attempt to ground myself. I was feeling anxious about flying because I was super sick with food poisoning, and I was scared I'd be too sick to fly. I was also feeling anxious because my schedule was really up in the air with other travel plans, and I just thought: Ok, for the next five minutes, let's just forget these thoughts, put them to the side, breathe, and try to find some semblance of balance and stability.
Yoga is interesting this way. Sometimes, if you're freaking stressed out and anxious, you'll see it in your practice. You might be wobbling and shaking and totally unable to balance. But sometimes, if you just take a second to breathe and set your stressors aside and then start practicing, you might find that you're able to stand still, in the center of your current life storm, and persevere. That's what happened here, and I was so grateful. My flight home ended up going as well as it could have gone (I didn't get sick on the plane, woop!), and my travel plans to LA afterwards went smoothly (it wound up bring the mini-vacation I had hoped for in Costa Rica before I got sick). So, once again, here's the universe showing me that no matter how much I stress or feel anxious, everything always works out exactly how it's supposed to.
If you're interested in trying this mini yoga sequence, here are some tips:
1. Tree Pose (p105 in Namaslay) - Distribute your weight along all four corners of your standing foot. Breathe three to five breaths in this pose before switching sides.
2. Standing Hand to Knee Pose part A (p118 in Namaslay) - Gaze out in front of you and use your core strength and hip flexor strength to lift your leg. Breathe three to five breaths in this pose before switching sides.
3. Standing Hand to Knee Pose part B (p119 in Namaslay) - Open up your lifted knee out to the side. You have the option of keeping your gaze out in front, or for an added challenge, you can gaze out in the opposite direction of your lifted knee. Breathe three to five breaths in this pose before switching sides.
4. Extended lifted leg pose - Go back to the same pose you did in number two, but extend your leg fully and lift your arms overhead. Breathe three to five breaths in this pose before switching sides.
Let me know how it goes for you down in the comments section below, and if you have any tips for staying sane in moments of stress and anxiety, I'd love to hear!

As the sun was setting around 7pm, our relatively calm sail turned a little more exciting when we blew up the kite on a gybe. It was the only masthead kite on board so a quick change to an asymmetric kite was in order. I will say, the timing worked out as our track was beginning to head further west. After settling in with the new kite, the sun dropped along with the temperature.
The night consisted of cloudy skies clearing after a cold front moved through. Which although the temperatures dropped, the stars came out and were quite impressive. 15 – 20kts turned into 20 – 30kts, and we peeled the kite for a jib and finally, for a smaller jib. I spent most of the night on the rail, progressively adding layers until I looked more like the boy from A Christmas Story than someone sailing in the Keys. I could have used at least a few more layers on the bottom, as well as some more serious gloves. I think by the time my bag was empty I had on a Capilene 1, Capilene 3, Nike fleece/spandex top, hoodie, fleece, and a TP2 jacket…and I was still cold!
With twenty different way points to take to starboard, it was a constant game of find-the-next-point with marks ranging from 100ft towers to small, lit buoys. We were certainly surprised to find an unlit buoy, quite close, in only about 3+ meters of water. (Meters, yes. We were on a Canadian boat.)
As dawn approached, we rounded the tower 6 miles south of Key West and headed upwind to finish the race. After 18 hours, we were all exhausted but thrilled to finally be there! It was my first time on Key West, and it was just as pretty as everyone says.
Luckily for us, the next three days got progressively warmer, and we were able to enjoy the island. With sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s, it was a welcomed change from the race temperatures. It was a great experience overall – although, a few more degrees would have been nice!
Congratulations to Mirage, a Hobie 33 for taking the overall trophy and of course, a thank you to the RC for a well-run event!

'…an eminence so lofty that a person looking from it can see the mighty City, and a portion of country round it, spread out before him like a large panorama.' – From Heads of the people: an illustrated journal of literature, whims and oddities, 1847.
Observatory Hill is a central part of Sydney's social and scientific history and few sites rival the Hill as both subject and object of Sydney views. From the first years of European settlement, artists and photographers chose this eminence to advertise and present the colony to foreign audiences. Since the 1850s, Sydney Observatory and its buildings have been as ceaselessly documented as they have been used to record and document the surrounding sky and panorama.
Observer & Observed features these attempts to understand a new environment, both at the local (Sydney) and universal (the stars) levels. This rare mix of the particular and the immense gives a special appeal to the visual history of Observatory Hill, as does the Hill's relationship to Miller's Point and the Rocks and their urban histories.
Drawn from the Powerhouse's extensive photographic and pictorial collection and images from other institutions and individuals, the book includes pioneering astronomical photographs taken from the Observatory, early colonial views of Sydney, and the work of contemporary artists and photographers.

Registered Nutritional Therapist in Surbiton, Claygate and Cobham. With 26 years of experience in nutritional medicine, I have helped thousands of patients. Common issues I deal with are allergies, digestion, weight, skin, fertility, yeast overgrowth, hormonal, fatigue, respiratory, skin and autoimmune. I specialise in gut and skin health, hormonal issues, autoimmune, allergies and fertility with a high success rate for those that may have been trying for years to conceive.
I have a holistic and functional medicine approach addressing the root cause of health issues and focusing on the body as a whole, rather than on individual symptoms. I look at underlying imbalances and deficiencies, impaired digestion, toxic overload as well as emotional trauma to restore overall health. Simple and realistic dietary and lifestyle changes can significantly improve your well-being, and a low allergenic diet with the removal of toxins, allows your immune system to repair, and your body to function properly.
Digestion is a key factor in health and symptoms such as bloating, wind, reflux, food allergies, autoimmune, weight-gain, skin conditions and other diseases can manifest unless corrected. Digestion is vitally important as what we absorb each day in our diet, will affect every cell in our body and affect the way we look and feel.
I suffered multiple allergies when in my early twenties, which were successfully dealt with through nutritional medicine. Since then I focused my full attention and career on helping others regain their health.
At consultations I test for food sensitivities and mineral deficiencies using Applied Kinesiology. This is a non-invasive discipline, that is also very successful with children and babies. I also offer a full range of functional laboratory diagnostic testing at leading laboratories, including DNA Genetic testing. The application of nutrition science - an evidence-based approach maximising your health potential through individually formulated nutritional and lifestyle changes, healthy blood sugar balance, emotional and psychological well-being and optimum gastrointestinal health.
Fertility/recurring miscarriages
Pre-conception and healthy pregnancy
Allergies - multiple food and chemical sensitivities
Unexplained symptoms - neurological symptoms
Yeast overgrowth
Babies/children's health
Find your balance by testing for mineral and toxic levels, adrenals, thyroid, kidney/liver trends, sugar, oxidation, protein assimilation, cortisol and aldosterone production, and more.
I studied nutritional medicine at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London and qualified in 1992. I am a sensitive and empathetic practitioner, who takes into account individual needs and lifestyles to ensure a realistic treatment plan.
A professional member of The British Association of Nutritional Therapists (BANT), the Nutritional Therapy Council, (NTC), which uphold and advance the standards of qualifications, competence and conduct of those who practice nutritional therapy as a profession, and The Complementary And Natural Healthcare Council, (CNHC). A qualified Phytotherapist, (A.Vogel herbal tinctures) and Area Representative with an educational trust, for the last 17 years, helping children from traumatised backgrounds.
"His digestion has settled overnight and no major dramas after food intake! He can't thank you enough, especially, since he has had issues for decades."
"I feel incredible! My stomach is completely flat and since I've started eating what you suggested and taking the vitamins you suggested, I haven't been bloated, windy or constipated since. It's amazing!" (2 weeks after consultation)
"I'm now on day 3 of eating my new diet plan and feeling so much better already. I feel like my stomach has deflated (i.e. no bloating) and feeling more refreshed and alert. So I'm really excited to see what the next few weeks bring if I'm already feeling so much better after a mere few days :)"
"I am pregnant!! Thank you for everything you have done for us so far, it has been life changing!"(trying to conceive for 2 1/2 years and now pregnant, 10 weeks after first consultation)
"He has now had full attendance at school and no longer having tummy pains and the other related problems. I have no hesitation in recommending you to everyone."
5 days after consultation....."After one year of daily stomach pains and seeing hospital consultants, my little girl is now completely free of them. We were told she had no allergies, but your testing showed the opposite."
"Since my first appointment I haven't had a single headache, and am like a new person. I've got loads of energy and even started exercising again which I haven't had the energy to do for nearly two years. No tummy problems anymore either!"
"I've just done a pregnancy test tonight and it has come out positive!!! I trust you 100% and your recommendations!"
"Since starting my new diet and taking the supplements I've had pretty much zero anxiousness. It's amazing! I've had it in some form or another for years on a daily basis but it's pretty much gone."

You know how something so good....can also be so bad? Like juicy gossip or an episode of Rock of Love.
Or a one night stand.... The night before, he's tall, dark and handsome. The next morning, you wish it was still dark because he's just tall.
Or your college crush....In college, he's gorgeous with a six pack. On Facebook, he's balding and the victim of drinking far too many six packs.
Or even our favorite celebrity man candy. In one movie, he can be so freakin' sweet and in the next, so very, very sour. It's amazing how a hair piece and twenty pounds can transform People's Sexiest Man Alive from totally HOT to totally NOT. From HUNK to JUNK. From LUST to BUST. Well, you get the idea...
So here's our list of actors who've played characters that TURN US ON...that we'd love to end up on the casting couch with *wink* *wink*... But who've also played characters that TURN US OFF--because they thought it would be A-OK to look ugly so they could win an Academy Award or some bullshit like that!
#1. Patrick Dempsey
HELL YEAH! Robert Philip in Enchanted.
After drooling over him every Thursday night on Grey's (and always secretly hoping those scrubs would somehow just fall off already), I was ecstatic to discover McDreamy was headed to the silver screen. Now, I'm not normally a movie theatre-goer, but for 70 feet of Mc Dreamy, I made DAMN SURE my four-year-old and I were there on opening weekend. I swooned as he saved Giselle from falling off the billboard and held my breath when he bent down for the "true love kiss." In fact, I was boning out over my Prince Charming fantasy so much that I even gave him a pass for the awkward singing and dancing scene in the park and the lame ass royal outfit he wore to the ball. Honorable Mention: Thomas Bailey in Made of Honor--Because I'm with Lisa on the whole guy chasing down a girl at the end of a movie thing.
HELL TO THE NO! Ronald Miller in Can't buy me Love.
The hair! The clothes! The lawnmower! I'm sorry but you'd have to pay me a lot more than $1000 to let Ronald Miller mow my lawn. (if you know what I'm sayin') And let's face it, even after the makeover, "totally geek to totally chic" was a bit of a stretch. It should have taken a lot more than ripping the sleeves off his bad shirt and rubbing mousse through his moppy hair for Cindy Mancini to ditch Bobby! Okay so maybe Ronald gets points for liking her poetry and washing her convertible Volkswagen Rabbit, but at the end of the day, he was still Lawnboy. (Um, no, I wasn't a mean girl or anything!) Honorable Mention: Randy Bodek in Loverboy. Cougar bait? Really? Not buying it.
#2. Matt Damon
HELL YEAH! Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy & Bourne Ultimatum
He's a complete hottie in all three, but the first one is my fav because it was when I was watching it that I realized I was in love with him. My heart was racing through the entire movie and let's just say it wasn't from the non-stop action :) I was drooling all over myself as I lusted for this man without a past! I mean, how convenient! A hot guy that kicks ass, speaks multiple languages and has zero emotional baggage. The perfect man! Honorable Mention: Ocean's Eleven, Twelve & Thirteen. Exception: The fake nose he wore in Thirteen. Bad. Very bad.
HELL TO THE NO! Tom Ripley in The Talented Mr. Ripley
I want to go on record and state that I did NOT want to see this movie. I made a strong case for Deuce Bigalow:Male Gigolo but was overruled by my husband's extended family. So I told myself it was going to be okay because Matt Damon was in it. He's hot, right? NOT! For the next two hours, I was blinded by his milky white skin and almost gagged at the site of him prancing around in his banana hammock. I don't care that they were in Europe. It was still wrong.Honorable Mention: Bob Tenor in Stuck On You. Two words: Siamese. Twins.
#3. Matthew Perry
HELL YEAH! Alex Whitman in Fools Rush In
I know, he isn't your typical A-lister hottie. But I've probably seen this movie thirty times and STILL get choked up every time he professes his love to Isabel at the Hoover Dam. And each time I watch, I'm still so jealous of EE-SUH-BELL and her sassy accent that I kind of hope the ending will change and he'll ditch her! Then, he and I will live happily ever in the tract home development in Las Vegas. Hey, maybe it's not realistic that I'd want a hot guy to knock me up on a one night stand and have to live in 150 degree heat 9 months out of the year, but this is Chandler Bing people! Need I say more? Honorable Mention: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip A jaded, funny guy with major issues? I'm in!
HELL TO THE NO! Seasons 9 and 10 of Friends
My man really packed on the pounds season 9 after he quit those pain pills. And although I was happy about his newfound sobriety, I just wasn't getting those butterflies in my stomach anymore while watching my Must See TV. Then, just as I convinced myself that bloated was the new black, he went totally 'rexic on me in season ten! Suddenly, I was in love with a yo-yo pill popper and that was so. not. hot. Honorable Mention: Guest appearance on the old school Beverly Hills, 90210. In his defense, no one looked good in 1991.
Lisa's Picks
#1. Brad Pitt
HELL YEAH!--Tristan Ludlow in Legends of the Fall
I'm normally into a more clean cut look, but when Tristan pulls up in his wagon, with his long blonde hair and five o'clock shadow, I'm sure I'm having the same naughty thoughts as Sussanah. "I've gotta get me a piece o' that." And then Susasanah takes one look at her boring, virgin fiancee' and you know she's saying to herself, "I am with the wrong bruthuh!" When she finally does get Tristan into the sac, I have to admit, I feel jealous of the lucky bee-yotch! BTW--for a chance to feel those abs, I also would've overlooked the crazy bear nightmares and the attempted knife stabbing in the bed. Honorable Mention: Oceans Eleven, Twelve & Thirteen
HELL TO THE NO!-- Benjamin Button in Benjamin Button
Then Brad had to go and get all old and wrinkly and short and wrinkly. And the thought of having sex with him now, even though I know somewhere in there, he's still Brad Pitt, is unimaginable. Even when he transforms into his hot self mid-way through the epic, I'm already scarred by the old, wrinkly-ness that went on for far too much of the movie if you ask me. Where, oh where, did the two-time People's Sexiest Man Alive winner go? Honorable Mentions: Zero. He's never looked bad in anything else.
#2. George Clooney
HELL YEAH!--Danny Ocean in Ocean's Eleven, Twleve and Thirteen
Ahhh Danny Ocean, you are so freakin' hot and sexy (and did I mention, sexy?) in these movies that I'd do you six ways to Sunday in that Bellagio penthouse suite. Honorable Mention: Bruce Wayne & Batman in Batman & Robin- cuz every girl fantasizes about a man in "uniform"!
HELL TO THE NO!-- Everett in Oh Brother Where Art Thou?
Oh Brother, where art George Clooney? I never even saw the movie because the idea of him looking like this was just too upsetting. Gone was the Armani suit and the f**k me now grin. In its place, a long, dirty beard and love of weird music? Unless I was feeling some sort of homeless man fantasy, I'd have to pass on--this. Honorable mention: Bob Barnes in Syriana (Hello 55 lb pot belly).
#3 Will Smith
HELL YEAH! Alex "Hitch" Hitchens in Hitch
I have a major crush on Will Smith. In fact, he's one of the celebrities on "my allowed to have sex with" list. I got him and Matt got Heidi Klum. Well, we both wanted Heidi Klum, but in the end, Matt won :) Anywhoo, I digress. I'm in lust with BOTH Hitches. The smooth-talkin guy who sends Sara Melas the walkie talkie when she won't give him her phone number AND the bumbling idiot who knocks her out with the jet ski and tracks down a long lost relative who turns out to be a serial killer. Because no matter what he does, he's still smokin' hot and sexy as all hell. And, let's face it girls, it's a total turn on when a man's not afraid to chase a woman's car down the street to tell her he loves her! (Cuz you know that happens all the time in real life!) Honorable Mention: Bad Boys 1 & 2 & Enemy of The State and every movie where he wears a wife beater or shows us his bare chest. Thank you God for creating this gorgeous man!
HELL TO THE NO! Will Smith in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
It was a real stretch for me to find a movie that Will Smith did NOT look hot in. As you can see, I had to go back almost twenty years to when he was on TV as the Fresh Prince and hung out with his friend DJ Jazzy Jeff. I can safely say I would not have done the deed with this version of my beloved Will. (Even though I did really love his song, "Parents Just Don't Understand"!) And regarding the questionable choice of overalls, I'd prefer to believe he was merely a victim of bad early 90's fashion--just like all of us. Honorable Mention: Hitch--during the allergic reaction.

This project aims to design an air quality monitor with WIFI communication interface. Major international airports worldwide are concerned about the quality of air or in other words amount of air pollution. The major air pollutants are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, LPG and CFC. Almost all airports are wifi networked. So if we use the same network for our project it would be comfortable for the airport authority. Using this device the airport authorities can monitor the air parameters using their laptops.
This project consists of an air sniffing part also called Electronic nose and a communication part. The E-nose consists of chemical sensors for sensing CO,CO2,LPG and CFC, it also have heat and light sensors. The E-nose part continuously scans the air parameter contents and sends it to the user laptop using Wifi communication.

Top 10: Fighting healthcare-associated infections with facilities management1 Comment
Our healthcare solutions team recently hosted a webinar uncovering the unexpected impact of facilities management and healthcare compliance on patient safety and clinical outcomes.
"On any given day, about one in 25 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection," said JLL Director of Healthcare Technical Operations George Mills. "By taking a proactive approach to compliance, health systems can reduce overall risk in hospital environments."
George joined JLL last year after serving as Director of the Department of Engineering at The Joint Commission. By exploring the intersection of clinical needs and the physical environment, he's demonstrating the need for health systems to turn a critical eye to their operational efficiency and outcomes.

When December 25 looks like an approaching train, you know it's because you're overloaded with things to do. What you need is a fast-wrapping strategy that will reduce that unwrapped gift pile quickly, and look fabulous when you're finished.
By using some simple strategies, you'll have beautifully-wrapped presents and more time to tick off the rest of the things on your to-do list.
Try these tips and ideas to make your Christmas gift wrapping fast and fabulous!
Wrap and roll
Don't spend time on your hands and knees trying to find those presents under the tree when you visit the in-laws. Instead, use the stoplight system for wrapping. That is, wrap all presents that are "going" presents – the ones that you take with you away from the house – in green wrapping paper. Because on a stoplight, green is for go, make red-wrapped presents to stay.
Wrap the presents to remain at home with red paper.
The optimal way to handle this is to wrap all the green-is-go presents with the same green paper, and the red-to-stay packages likewise. It makes your packages look more unfied, simplifies wrapping, and makes those gifts look oh so designer. Before wrapping, be sure to separate your to-stay and to-go piles to make wrapping streamlined.
Tag you're it
One of the most time coming tasks at present sorting time is determining which gift goes to which recipient. Adding sticky gift tags to the back of presents makes the task harder by having to pull out and turn over each and every present to identify the recipient. Sticking the tags on the front isn't pretty, either, so what you need is a way to identify presents at a glance – and make them look great too.
The solution is to make your own tags and attach to the front, so no pulling and flipping is required. Here's how: grab the kids and sit them at the table to make your gift tags. Supply them with holiday-printed scrapbooking paper, a hole punch and a bag of assorted color pipe cleaners. Cut the scrapbooking paper into various shapes, punch a hole, add a pipe cleaner and affix the tag to the front of the gift.
If you're looking for a fun Christmas craft, give the kids (or yourself) some scissors to make scalloped edges and fun cut-out holiday shapes (buy in craft stores). Attach these with adhesive foam dots to make the tags three dimensional – and like you spent a fortune. For another time saving trick, these tags can be re-used again the next year, unlike sticky tags that get thrown out with the wadded up paper.
Assembly line
The last tip really speeds your wrapping. Put all presents in boxes and affix a sticky note indicating the recipient and giver. Separate gifts into to-go and to-stay piles. Grab your green paper and wrap all the presents at once making sure to put the sticky note on the wrapped presents. When all the boxes are covered in paper, affix decoration, such as bows, and add your custom-made gift tag. Voila! Wrapping in a flash.

Crime - Sacto 911
Trial begins for four men accused in 2010 barbershop killing
In their opening statements Monday, the four defense lawyers also took on the role of prosecutors in the murder trial of their clients who are charged in the fatal south side barbershop shootout where a young mother died protecting her 2-year-old son from stray bullets.
The attorneys for Louis James Mitchell, 22, and Lonnie Orlando Mitchell, 27, said their clients acted in self-defense during the Dec. 14, 2010, shooting in which Monique Nelson was killed in the parking lot in front of the Fly Cuts & Styles barbershop on Stockton Boulevard.
They blamed the death, in effect, on James Leo Carney III, 34, and Larry Dean Jones Jr., 32 – whose lawyers in turn said those two were only defending themselves during the shootout in which one of the 35 bullets hit Nelson in the side as she leaned into her Chevy Tahoe and draped her body over her little boy in the rear car seat.
Deputy District Attorney Valerie Brown told the Sacramento Superior Court jury that all four defendants are guilty. A second person killed in the shootout, Marvion Barksdale, who was 20, also would be on trial if he were alive, Brown said. Two other men initially charged in the case, Dominique Lott and Charles Barksdale, pleaded guilty last year to voluntary manslaughter and have been sentenced to 21 years in prison.
"In the end, what you're going to find is that Monique Nelson died protecting her child when these four people, along with Marvion Barksdale, Charles Barksdale and Dominique Lott brought their battle to the streets of Sacramento, in that location, and they turned that location at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, 11 days before Christmas, into a war zone," Brown said in her opening statement.
Brown said the shootout resulted from tensions set in motion three weeks before the barbershop confrontation. A friend of Marvion Barksdale accused Louis Mitchell of robbing him of $40, an eighth of an ounce of marijuana and his removable teeth jewelry known as a gold grill. A week later Barksdale beat up Mitchell, the prosecutor said.
Defense attorneys Michael Wise and Greg Foster have aligned with each other in defending Carney and Jones. They have paired off against Linda Parisi and Assistant Public Defender Amy Rogers, who are representing Louis and Lonnie Mitchell. Despite their different interpretations of self-defense, the defense attorneys shared a basic agreement with the prosecutor on what happened the day of the shootout:
Jones, armed with a .40-caliber pistol, had stopped into the barbershop with a friend just ahead of the Mitchells, who were in possession of an AK-47 assault rifle and a TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun. Jones, when he saw the Mitchells, called Carney from a cellphone. Carney in turn alerted Marvion Barksdale, and the two of them rushed down to Fly Cuts in separate cars and parked in lots to the north and west of the barbershop's strip mall in the 6900 block of Stockton Boulevard. Carney carried a .38, Barksdale a 9 mm handgun that didn't work.
Marvion Barksdale, who drove up with his cousin Charles Barksdale and Dominique Lott, approached the barbershop from across Stockton Boulevard and was fatally wounded somewhere between the street and the Fly Cuts front door. His friends hustled him to a hospital, where he died.
As the Mitchells took the gunfight outside to the barbershop parking lot, Carney, who was parked on the other side of Lindale Drive, fired on them. A bullet from his gun killed Nelson.
In making his case for Larry Jones, attorney Wise said Louis Mitchell came into the barbershop wearing the TEC-9 on a shoestring around his neck – "like a pendant, a necklace of death, if you will." While Louis was getting his hair cut, his brother started doing a rap dance inside the barbershop, threatening to shoot the place up, according to Wise, which the attorney said made Jones nervous enough to call Carney for backup.
Wise said the atmosphere in the barbershop was "tranquil, it's quiet, it's festive, it's peaceful until the Mitchells walked in. Then everything drastically changed."
Jones felt "trapped" in the back of the barbershop by the Mitchells, and fired twice to make his way out, Wise said. The lawyer said his client had nothing to do with the Marvion Barksdale-Louis Mitchell feud.
"This was not his fight," Wise said of his client.
Foster said Carney drove to the barbershop only to help out his friends. According to Foster, it was the Mitchells who came out of the barbershop "firing wildly" in every direction, killing Marvion Barksdale. Louis Mitchell, Foster said, was still wearing his barber's cape while blasting the TEC-9.
"Mr. Carney fired back in an effort to defend himself and others who had been fired on by the Mitchells," Foster said.
The Mitchells' lawyers saw it differently. Rogers and Parisi did not dispute that their clients brought the AK-47 and the TEC-9 into the barbershop, but they said it was not clear who had control of which weapon.
Rogers said Jones set the violence into motion by calling Carney, "not because he's trapped, not because he feels uncomfortable, but because he knows the enemy is there and it's time to do something."
"Basically, what happened is Larry Jones is calling the cavalry – 'Come on down, the Mitchells are trapped. Let's take care of business,' " Rogers said.
She said, "It's the Mitchells who were trapped. Nobody else."
Parisi said the Mitchells were "marked men," so they armed themselves.
"Some may say that was not the best choice," Parisi said. "But as it turns out, it was the only choice."

Syria and the Journalists killed in 2013
Reporters Without Borders informs that 75 journalists were killed in 2013 because of their work, also 4 media assistants and 37 netizens and citizen-journalists were killed in the same period, most of them in Syria. According to the organisation 10 professional journalists and 36 citizen-journalists were killed in Syria while trying to report about what was happening with the war. That means 46 deaths. There are at least 20 journalists imprisoned and up to 46 kidnapped in Syria, 16 of them foreigners, among them three from Spain.
In addition to this data, Reporters Without Borders has learned that at least three citizen-journalists were among the approximately 50 detainees that the Jihadi group called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) massacred on 6 January before withdrawing from the Qadi Asqar district of Aleppo.
The three known citizen-journalists killed in the massacre were Maher Hasroumi, Amin Abu Ahmad and Sultan Al-Shami. Employed by Shada al Hurriya TV, they and two other colleagues, Abu Younes and Taim Shami were abducted when ISIS attacked the TV station on 26 December.
Reporters Without Borders condemns the massacre with the utmost energy and is appalled by the way ISIS executed its own detainees as it withdrew in the face of an offensive launched against it by other rebel groups. Other detainees were freed.
The massacre was confirmed by the citizen-journalist Milad Al-Shibahi, a newly-freed ISIS detainee, in a video posted on YouTube on 7 January. In the video, Shibahi describes the appalling conditions in which ISIS held its hostages.
About the data related to the situation of the journalists safety in 2013, Iraq was with Syria the country where more professional journalists were killed while doing their job, with 10 killings. Next deadly for journalists where Philippines and India with 8 killings in each country. Then appear Pakistan and Somalia, with 7 killings; Egypt, with 6 journalists killed; Brazil, with 5 killed; Honduras, with 3; Russia, Mali and Mexico with 2 killings in each country and Afghanistan, Colombia, Libya, Paraguay and the DRC with 1 journalist killed in each country.
There are right now 177 professional journalists 14 media assistants and 164 netizens imprisoned.
China with 30 journalists and 70 netizens imprisoned is the country more dangerous. Besides Syria the situation is bad in Eritrea with 28 journalists imprisoned; Turkey, with 27 and Iran, with 20.
From Syria came the good news that Magnus Falkehed and Niclas Hammarström, two Swedish journalists who were kidnapped near the Lebanese border on 23 November, have been released.
"We are very relieved to learn that these two journalists have been released safe and sound," Reporters Without Borders said. "We nonetheless continue to be concerned about the 16 other foreign journalists and the more than 30 Syrian citizen journalists who are still held in Syria."
An offensive by the Free Syrian Army and other rebel groups against ISIS, a Jihadi group linked to Al-Qaeda, has resulted in the recent release of other news providers, including Turkish photographer Bunyamin Aygün and Syrian citizen-journalists Ahmed Bremo and Milad Al-Shibahi, said the organisation.

London - Nigella Lawson was reportedly left devastated after her ex-husband Charles Saatchi won "custody" of their £10 000 stuffed dog.
The TV chef was distraught after her pretend pooch named Narles - a combination of the couple's first names - was claimed by her former spouse following their split in June.
The artificial mutt, which was bought at auction by Charles, took pride of place in the kitchen of the couple's £15m home.
Francesca Grillo, 35, who was cleared alongside her sister Elisabetta of defrauding Nigella and Charles of £685 000 last week, told The Sun newspaper: "The stuffed dog was one of the only things they bought that was loved by them both.
"I think Narles has stayed with Charles."
The siblings also claim the 70-year-old businessman banned all members of staff from touching the dog in case they damaged its glossy fur.
Elisabetta, 41, said: "We ignored Charles and put hats on Narles.
"We once balanced the pet turtle of Mimi (Nigella's daughter Cosima) on the dog's head.
"It was a weird thing to have in the house."
Meanwhile, Nigella could be charged with drug offences after Elisabetta claimed she snorted cocaine every three days using rolled up £20 notes and American bank notes.
Scotland Yard originally said officers would not look into the claims at this stage, but would review the decision if new evidence was to arise.
However, in a statement released Sunday night, the force revealed a specialist team of Metropolitan Police would examine the emerging evidence.
Nigella admitted to using the Class A drug in 2010 when she found out her late husband John Diamond had terminal cancer.
Narles... Really? a 100K stuffed dog? Must have been on drugs!
She must be on drugs to be distraught over a stuffed dog.
