What do vegans eat? This might sound like a silly question but I'm sure that if you are vegan, you've been asked this numerous times! And if you are not, I'm would imagine you've wondered about it.
Do you only eat salad every day? Really? Do I look like I'm on a lettuce and water diet? As much as I would love to take that as a compliment, my body doesn't resemble that of a starving supermodel!
So, why do some people immediately assume that because one chooses not to consume products that are derived from animal cruelty, that they are starving themselves to death? Have we been so brainwashed by media that the idea of eating anything other than meat sounds abnormal?
Don't get me wrong! I completely get where these questions are coming from as I've personally asked them in the past!
When I was transitioning to a vegan diet –at the age of 30- I didn't have the tiniest clue about what a plant-based diet comprises of.
I was simply exposed to certain truths that I just couldn't shake off. I couldn't believe that I spend my whole life telling people I was an animal lover whilst eating a bucket of BBQ chicken wings. I had never made the connection and hadn't realized the hypocrisy behind it up until that point.
My reasons for wanting to turn vegan were purely ethical but I still didn't know how to go about it. When it first crosses your mind, it can be scary. No more grilled cheese sandwiches? Life without pizza must truly be hell!
I was never really a meat lover and had quit red meat at the age of 10 so I wasn't really worried about eliminating meat from my diet altogether. Yet something about giving up dairy felt daunting.
Long story short, I started doing some serious research on different food sources and how to replicate different familiar flavors, and guess what! It wasn't that hard! Much of what I was already eating was vegan. Apart from the obvious fruit and veg (which were a huge part of my diet as I was raised in a Mediterranean household), think about all the things everybody usually eats, like bread, pasta, rice, nuts, legumes. I was introduced to ingredients that I had never heard or used before like soy and tofu and learned about how these ingredients can be used to substitute meat and dairy products in practically any recipe your heart desires!
So, What do vegans eat anyway?
Love burgers? No problem! Vegan burgers made of chickpeas or soy mince are to die for!
Can't give up your morning ritual of cereal and milk? No worries! Rice, soy or almond milk taste just as good and are also of high nutritional value.
Can't imagine your life without chocolate? Yeah, I couldn't either! But who told you, you couldn't have any? The vegan market provides literally thousand of vegan products including candy bars, spreads, biscuits and cakes!
And of course you can head over to our recipe section and find out how you can whip up some vegan treats yourself!
What I'm trying to get across is that there really isn't anything that you love eating that you can't have! You simply have to substitute animal products with plant-based products.You might require some help with that in the beginning, but hey! That's what I'm here for!
Feel free to leave any questions you might have in the comments section and I would be more than happy to address them! You can absolutely enjoy any meal you want with a clean conscience. Allow love and compassion to prevail and you can definitely have your cake and eat it too!

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Peter and the rest of us have made peppers the second most popular veggie in the world, second only to the venerable tomato. There is just such a world of colors, shapes and flavors among peppers. Some of us like the sweet while some like the spicy while others like to grow those they can pickle. Grow your own and you can choose just what you want.
Years ago I started buying plants for the yard, and if I saw it and it was pretty, I bought it. The result was areas full of bits and pieces and mostly flowering little plants that were pretty labor intensive. Then I went to a gardening lecture at our Beaumont Botanical Center where the speaker spoke about a plan for the yard. Crazy talk. He suggested a list of attributes that you would want in any plant in your yard. He also talked about the possibility of using no flowers at all in your landscape!
This beauty is a perfect addition to your yard. The shrimp plant has a rather sophisticated botanical name: Justicia brandegeeana. It was named after the American botanist Townsend Stith Brandegee (1843-1925) according to an interesting article titled "Reiman Gardens" in the Iowa State University blog. The species is indigenous to Mexico, where it was discovered. Brandegee is given credit for bringing many beautiful and hardy Mexican plants to the U.S. Your grandma may have called the shrimp plant "false hop" or "Mexican shrimp."
Remembering the color wheel in art class, there is a whole section with my favorite colors of the hottest pink, neon orange and brightest yellow. Those colors just make you feel so great. Color can be exciting or soothing. In my mind, there is always a place outdoors for an area that looks like a party is ready to happen.
Just look at that beautiful bloom! I can always count on my hibiscus to give me a jolt of color in the yard. Not only are they easy to grow, but they also tolerate our summer weather. And you say they are edible, too?
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

There are many different varieties of stretch wrap and film out there, but one of the most popular is blown stretch film – which is made using a complex extrusion process and produced both as tubes and as sheets. This means that it can be adapted for a wide range of different purposes, and as blown film manufacturers we endeavour to create the best quality wrap for use across numerous different industries.
The Benefits of Blown Stretch Film
The process which is used to create a film has a big impact on the qualities which it exhibits, and although each of them has their own specific merits there are certain situations in which blown stretch film is definitely the best choice.
One of its key benefits is its strength, or 'toughness', since the extra durability which is offered by blown stretch film allows it to protect more delicate or fragile materials. Once affixed it can also be firmer than other forms of stretch film, since it has a stickier surface which forms a stronger bond when affixed to itself.
Blown Stretch Film Manufacturers Who Work for You
When you choose to make Dennisons your blown stretch film manufacturers, you can benefit from both the high quality of our products and the exceptional service which ensures that your needs are always being met.
By discussing your exact needs with our experienced team you can ensure that you end up with the perfect product; a stretch film which has the precise qualities that you're looking for – whether that's increased durability or a more attractive finish.
For more details please don't hesitate to get in touch today, online or at 0161 393 6059 – we would love to talk you through the options; whether you're looking for blown stretch film or something slightly different, we're sure that we'll have the ideal product available.

Why Mars Won't Be Releasing Its Super Bowl Ad Early
M&Ms Spot Will Help Launch New 'Better With M' Campaign
As it prepares to run a Super Bowl ad for the fourth straight year, Mars is taking what you might call an old fashioned approach. Rather than releasing its 30-second M&Ms spot early to create some buzz -- as has been the trend of late -- the candy maker still believes in the power of what top North American marketer Roy Benin calls the "anticipation bubble."
"We are continuing with what we call our surprise-and-delight approach," said Mr. Benin, the chief consumer officer for Mars Chocolate North America. "There's that first-time, premier reveal [in game] that we believe is compelling."
Indeed, Mars declined to discuss even basic elements of the ad - and has no plans to do so -- unlike some other marketers, which seek free publicity by touting ads in mainstream media. What's known is that the ad is by BBDO, New York and will run in the first quarter. Mr. Benin told Ad Age that the spot will be part of a new campaign debuting next week that uses a new tagline "Better With M," which replaces old line -- "not your average chocolate." Ad Age also confirmed that the brand will not be debuting a new M&M character, as it did last year when it introduced Ms. Brown during the Super Bowl.
That ad in which Ms. Brown is mistakenly assumed as being nude -- was also not released early and went on to win praise from neutral observers. The spot, called "Just My Shell," was ranked by Ace Metrics as the 12th-best ad in all of 2012. Mars has even credited the spot for significantly boosting M&Ms sales last year. According to the company's internal SymphonyIRI figures, the brand overtook Reese's as the top chocolate candy brand in the U.S. (Euromonitor International data shows a slightly different story, with M&Ms at 11.9% share of the chocolate candy category in the U.S, still trailing Reese's, which has 12.7%.)
Mars in recent years has been known to struggle with the decision over plugging its Snickers brand or M&Ms in the Super Bowl. Snickers appeared in 2010 and 2011, before M&Ms made its third Super Bowl appearance last year, following ads in 2000 and 2002.
By most indications, this year's call to highlight M&Ms was pretty clear cut. The reason is that the marketer wants to keep hammering a new positioning begun last year for the brand that emphasizes its "irresistible chocolate" credentials rather than simply "colorful fun" aspects of the bite-sized candy.
"We just feel that the chocolate message is a stronger one," said Mr. Benin, who took over as chief consumer officer over the summer from Debra Sandler, who was promoted to president. "We've had a record year with M&Ms in 2012 so there is some strong evidence that our strategy is working." Ms. Brown "was a great way for us to highlight in a fun way that M&Ms is not your average chocolate," he added. "We're sharpening it even further around the 'Better with M campaign."
And part of that involves disrobing the iconic M&M characters. One print ad shows Ms. Brown posing portrait-style with Red, Yellow, Orange, Green and Blue who appear naked, holding their colorful candy shells draped to the side like clothing. The first TV spot [below] is called "devour" and will debut next week on broadcast and cable TV networks. The ad shows the familiar byplay between the characters and humans with Ms. Brown setting up Red with a hot and hungry, sexy red head. (Could this foreshadow a starring role for Red in the Super Bowl?)
Mars says the campaign is "one of the largest marketing efforts ever" for M&Ms, which were first introduced in 1941 to American soldiers serving in World War II. Other elements include print, digital and in-store marketing and a cause-marketing partnership with Habitat for Humanity that will help fund the construction of new homes.
Mr. Benin described the total effort as "an occasion-based strategy" that will position the candy to be eaten while watching sports, movies, TV and other activities.
The new investment comes as competitors also step up their marketing game, creating somewhat of a chocolate arms race. Hershey Co., for instance, boosted ad expensesby 13% to 15% in 2012, the company recently told analysts, as it broadens its spending to cover more brands, including classic offerings such as Rolo.
Mars, meanwhile, keeps plowing money into its top two chocolate brands. Measured media spending on M&Ms grew from $87.7 million in 2010 to $103.7 million in 2011 and was at $97 million through October of last year, according to Kantar Media. Snickers spending jumped from $64.8 million in 2010 to $85.6 million in 2011 and stood at $72.3 million through October.
Snickers is expected to debut new ads later this year.

Dixie Chick Stands Up Against Butterball's Cruel Practices
A Dixie Chick is urging everyone to take a stand against animal cruelty at Butterball Turkey slaughterhouses.
Natalie Maines took to Twitter on Wednesday to spread the word about the hideous acts of violence being performed at the Butterball Turkey slaughterhouse.
Baby turkeys being ground up alive! Tell @butterball to stop this heinous abuse. Sign @MercyForAnimals' petition: http://t.co/gnb8mFYxmc
— Natalie Maines (@1NatalieMaines) June 4, 2014
Powerhouse animal rights organization Mercy for Animals released the undercover footage showing what really takes place inside Butterball's factory farms. The video shows baby turkeys being ground up alive, birds having their beaks and toes cut off without any anesthesia, and workers kicking and stomping on live birds and leaving injured ones to bleed to death. The actions are documented on a very graphic video on the website Maines linked to on her tweet.
Disgusted? Outraged? Follow Maines' advice and sign the Mercy for Animals petition to help stop these horrific practices.

The Bank of Southside Virginia dates its origins back to 1905 when the Bank of Stony Creek was chartered. In 1911 the Bank of Carson opened for business and in 1919 the Prince George County Bank began operations. These three local banks merged in 1933 to form The Bank of Southside Virginia. The Jarratt Bank opened in the late 1930's and immediately merged with The Bank of Southside Virginia to expand the organization to four locations.
BSV added two branches in the tri-cities area around Petersburg in 1972. The Rohoic/Edgehill office just west of town on Cox Road in Dinwiddie County opened in May, and the South Crater Road branch in the city of Petersburg opened for business in November of that year.
Greensville County was the site of the seventh BSV office in 1979. The bank is now located on West Atlantic Street in the city of Emporia following annexation of that part of the county into the city.
A loan production office opened in the town of Wakefield in 1986 and became a full service branch in April, 1990. The branch relocated to a new facility just across County Drive (Route 460) in July, 2005, and added drive-thru and ATM functions.
July,1989, marked the opening of the ninth BSV office. Located in the county seat of Dinwiddie, on U.S. Route 1, this branch is the third BSV office in Dinwiddie County.
A new building was constructed on Ellerslie Avenue in Colonial Heights in 1994. A full service branch operates on the ground floor, while the bank's Dealer Division is housed upstairs. This branch also houses the offices of BSV Financial Services.
Three Southampton County branches – Boykins, Capron and Franklin – were acquired in April, 1995, to bring the total number of BSV locations to thirteen.
In February of 2001, The Bank of Southside purchased a branch on Main Street in Smithfield, Virginia, bringing the branch total to fourteen.
Expanding northward, BSV opened its fifteenth branch in Chester on March 11, 2002. Located near the intersection of West Hundred Road (Route 10) and Harrowgate Road, the branch is in a bustling area of town.
With an asset size of over $538 million and fifteen full-service locations, The Bank of Southside Virginia is both the largest community bank and the largest branch network in the area. The bank serves all or parts of the counties of Dinwiddie, Sussex, Surry, Prince George, Greensville, Southampton, Isle of Wight and Chesterfield; and all or parts of the cities of Petersburg, Emporia, Colonial Heights, Franklin, Smithfield and Chester.
More important than size is the national reputation The Bank of Southside Virginia has earned. One of the most widely recognized and respected independent rating services is Sheshunoff Information Services, Inc. Sheshunoff is well known as a leader in the field of financial industry data. The company began rating financial institutions in 1984 and The Bank of Southside Virginia has earned their best rating every year.
Bauer Financial Reports, Inc. awards The Bank of Southside Virginia five stars – their highest rating. Again, BSV has earned top honors every quarter since Bauer began their ratings. Veribanc, Inc., a well known and highly respected Massachusetts rating service, gives BSV the green / three star designation, their top honor.
IDC Financial Publishing, Inc. awarded its "Best of the Best" to The Bank of Southside Virginia. According to John E. Rickmeier, President of IDC, "This bank has achieved superior investment performance ranking in the top 25% of all banks over the past one, three, and five-year periods.
BSV is a locally owned, full-service commercial bank. The bank attributes its success to high quality customer service, a progressive atmosphere and a commitment to the communities and the people it serves.
While BSV is one of the technological leaders in the area, it maintains the personal touch with its customers. Automation made possible "relationship banking," which BSV began using many years ago. Customer accounts are linked together. Balances in certificates of deposit, money market accounts, savings accounts or other checking accounts are used to offset service fees. In fact, over 70% of the personal checking accounts at BSV pay no service charge as a result of relationship banking.
For a more in-depth look at the origins and history of BSV, check out the book:

What do we think of when we think of jazz? How do we define the style? Those are loaded questions and difficult to answer when it comes to jazz music. It is easy to say that jazz has cultural and aesthetic elements attached to it; but, defining the style is not as easy as it seems. Let's take a simple look at some of the periods that are important when we talk about jazz.
Jazz of the Roaring 20's
The New Orleans style was at the forefront of this movement and Louis Armstrong and His Hot 5 of the late 1920s (check out "Fireworks" on YouTube) were the ambassadors. However, that style of jazz was more representative of the Chicago sound. So, then what does New Orleans Jazz sound like, exactly? Here's a great explanation of this style by Jazz at Lincoln Center's Jazz Academy and I encourage you to watch the video because they do a phenomenal job of explaining and playing the differences.
The Big Band Sound of the 1930s
The 1930s brought with it format changes that included the switch from smaller combos to larger ensembles (or big bands) that focused more on composition and arrangement. Here's an example of the Big Band Music of the 1930s that I'm talking about.
The jazz of the 1920's had a more improvised approach. This new style of jazz used improvisation but only in certain parts of the song. The composition and arrangement (or the written music) was more prominent.
And, that leads to another question: Does jazz have to be improvised to be jazz?
The Birth of Bop and Birth of Cool
During the late 1950s and early 1960s jazz was continually evolving. There were so many changes going on at the time that the musicians themselves were divided into traditionalists and modernists. Smaller combos were in vogue again and jazz was becoming a style of music that you sat down and listened to rather than danced to.
Bebop was born with Charlie Parker and Dizzie Gillespie leading the way and taking the new sound into a direction that was driven by improvisational virtuosity. Take a listen to "Hot House" for an example of bebop.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, Miles Davis was experimenting with a new sound. A more laid back sound that wasn't so harmonically complex. "So What" is the opening track of the legendary Kind of Blue album that explored the modal side of jazz while launching a movement.
Bop vs. Cool
Bebop has a certain way that the musicians play. From the notes that they choose to their rhythmic interpretation. The same should be said about the Cool style. Also, as you compare both recordings, notice the change in the function of the rhythm section; i.e., the high-hat on 2 and 4 or the ride cymbal on all quarter notes, the walking bass, and the modern piano style of accompaniment, etc. Both styles changed the way that jazz was played.
The 1960s and More Change
The musicians of 60s began adding rock, pop and motown styles into jazz creating a fusion of genres. Check out "Bitches Brew" by Miles Davis and see how that changed the face of jazz. In addition, there were other players who were experimenting with more unorthodox structures and song forms. Ornette Coleman, Pharoah Sanders and Charles Mingus were prominent players that contributed to this movement.
So, What Is Jazz?
I'm not avoiding answering this question. In this very brief overview I'm proposing that the only constant in jazz is change. And, although there are specific formulas that define different styles of music, they would only serve to describe the sub-genres of jazz.
What about today's music scene where it gets even more complicated? There are so many additional sub-genres: latin jazz, acid jazz, smooth jazz, trad jazz, soul jazz, etc. How do we begin to define those styles and substyles as they relate to jazz?
It would be easy to say that jazz is improvised and improvisation is a big part of it. But, Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton created pieces that didn't include any improv. And, that's the thing with jazz. Just when you think that you've got it figured out… jazz does something, unexpected.
Jazz Is…
American music, and American music was created by mixing elements of African-American Folk music of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries with European influences. And, just as American music is constantly evolving, so is jazz.
The big difference between jazz and other kinds of music is that improvisation is a big part of it. When an improviser plays the same song every night, every night that song is different. The same cannot be said of a classical concerto or a pop tune.
Jazz is simply a way to play music. And, that music is ever evolving and ever changing. Also, whatever the future holds for jazz, I'm quite certain that jazz will continue to do what it does best—the unexpected.
Thanks for reading.


text: There are astronomical events, that a human being can observe only a couple of times if not once in his/her entire life. These events are not exactly periodic or have long periods. Lunar and solar eclipses, planet transitions, oppostions or occultations, comet approaches and meteor showers are a few examples of such occasions. Our observatory organizes special activities for such events that arouse interest amongst people. Besides, scientific information regarding these events and the activities of the observatory are announced to public via media and press. On the day of the event, in addition to observations, presentations and panels on the special occasion and other interesting subjects in astronomy are organized. In this context, our observatory hosted 6000 people in August, 2003 when Mars was in opposition and 3000 people in June, 2004 at the time of Venus transit. Venus transit was broadcasted live on the internet through the observatory's web site. In this way, a lot of people had the chance to witness this rare astronomical event even if they didn't have the chance to visit the observatory.

Guaranteeing Correctness through the Communication of Checkable Proofs(or: Would You Really Trust an Automated Reasoning System?) (1999)
In this paper we generalize the notion of method for proofplanning. While we adopt the general structure of methods introducedby Alan Bundy, we make an essential advancement in that we strictlyseparate the declarative knowledge from the procedural knowledge. Thischange of paradigm not only leads to representations easier to under-stand, it also enables modeling the important activity of formulatingmeta-methods, that is, operators that adapt the declarative part of exist-ing methods to suit novel situations. Thus this change of representationleads to a considerably strengthened planning mechanism.After presenting our declarative approach towards methods we describethe basic proof planning process with these. Then we define the notion ofmeta-method, provide an overview of practical examples and illustratehow meta-methods can be integrated into the planning process.
Even though it is not very often admitted, partial functionsdo play a significant role in many practical applications of deduction sys-tems. Kleene has already given a semantic account of partial functionsusing a three-valued logic decades ago, but there has not been a satisfact-ory mechanization. Recent years have seen a thorough investigation ofthe framework of many-valued truth-functional logics. However, strongKleene logic, where quantification is restricted and therefore not truth-functional, does not fit the framework directly. We solve this problemby applying recent methods from sorted logics. This paper presents atableau calculus that combines the proper treatment of partial functionswith the efficiency of sorted calculi.
The semantics of everyday language and the semanticsof its naive translation into classical first-order language consider-ably differ. An important discrepancy that is addressed in this paperis about the implicit assumption what exists. For instance, in thecase of universal quantification natural language uses restrictions andpresupposes that these restrictions are non-empty, while in classi-cal logic it is only assumed that the whole universe is non-empty.On the other hand, all constants mentioned in classical logic arepresupposed to exist, while it makes no problems to speak about hy-pothetical objects in everyday language. These problems have beendiscussed in philosophical logic and some adequate many-valuedlogics were developed to model these phenomena much better thanclassical first-order logic can do. An adequate calculus, however, hasnot yet been given. Recent years have seen a thorough investigationof the framework of many-valued truth-functional logics. UnfortuADnately, restricted quantifications are not truth-functional, hence theydo not fit the framework directly. We solve this problem by applyingrecent methods from sorted logics.
Even though it is not very often admitted, partial functionsdo play a significant role in many practical applications of deduction sys-tems. Kleene has already given a semantic account of partial functionsusing a three-valued logic decades ago. This approach allows rejectingcertain unwanted formulae as faulty, which the simpler two-valued onesaccept. We have developed resolution and tableau calculi for automatedtheorem proving that take the restrictions of the three-valued logic intoaccount, which however have the severe drawback that existing theo-rem provers cannot directly be adapted to the technique. Even recentlyimplemented calculi for many-valued logics are not well-suited, since inthose the quantification does not exclude the undefined element. In thiswork we show, that it is possible to enhance a two-valued theorem proverby a simple strategy so that it can be used to generate proofs for the the-orems of the three-valued setting. By this we are able to use an existingtheorem prover for a large fragment of the language.
Dynamic Lambda Calculus (1999)
The goal of this paper is to lay a logical foundation for discourse theories by providing analgebraic foundation of compositional formalisms for discourse semantics as an analogon tothe simply typed (lambda)-calculus. Just as that can be specialized to type theory by simply providinga special type for truth values and postulating the quantifiers and connectives as constantswith fixed semantics, the proposed dynamic (lambda)-calculus DLC can be specialized to (lambda)-DRT byessentially the same measures, yielding a much more principled and modular treatment of(lambda)-DRT than before; DLC is also expected to eventually provide a conceptually simple basisfor studying higher-order unification for compositional discourse theories.Over the past few years, there have been a series of attempts [Zee89, GS90, EK95, Mus96,KKP96, Kus96] to combine the Montagovian type theoretic framework [Mon74] with dynamicapproaches, such as DRT [Kam81]. The motivation for these developments is to obtain a generallogical framework for discourse semantics that combines compositionality and dynamic binding.Let us look at an example of compositional semantics construction in (lambda)-DRT which is one ofthe above formalisms [KKP96, Kus96]. By the use of fi-reduction we arrive at a first-order DRTrepresentation of the sentence A i man sleeps. (i denoting an index for anaphoric binding.)
Higher-Order Tableaux (1999)
Even though higher-order calculi for automated theorem prov-ing are rather old, tableau calculi have not been investigated yet. Thispaper presents two free variable tableau calculi for higher-order logicthat use higher-order unification as the key inference procedure. Thesecalculi differ in the treatment of the substitutional properties of equival-ences. The first calculus is equivalent in deductive power to the machine-oriented higher-order refutation calculi known from the literature, whereasthe second is complete with respect to Henkin's general models.

As men and women in Great Britain go to the polls to vote on "Brexit" (the UK referendum on EU membership), consider the dream of Solomon recounted in I Kings chapter 3, in which the Lord appears to Solomon in a dream by night, and promises to Solomon the gift of "a wise and understanding heart" in response to Solomon's request for the ability "to discern between good and bad."
What a gift it would be, to always be able to discern rightly between good and bad, right and wrong, in any situation! Some situations seem to be almost impossible to know for sure which is good and which is bad, which is right and which is wrong -- and yet immediately after this vision of Solomon is related in I Kings 3, the scripture segues to a situation in which Solomon finds himself faced with just such a knotty problem requiring his judgment, and demonstrates an ability to almost instantly cut to the heart of the matter, and solve the dilemma.
The outcome of that famous encounter, known as the "Judgment of Solomon," caused all the people to say of the king that "the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment" (I Kings 3: 28). The episode itself, and the evidence that (like the other Star Myths of the world) it is based upon celestial metaphor, is discussed in this previous post and accompanying video.
The fact that this episode is a metaphor, based upon the stars, indicates that it is not intended to be understood as literal history involving an individual king who lived on earth in ancient times. If it were, then we would be correct in saying "Well, that was Solomon -- he received divine wisdom, which is great for him, but it doesn't really have that much to do with me." If the story is about a special king who lived in terrestrial history thousands of years ago, then the gift of understanding which he received cannot be expected to help us very much in sorting out difficult questions such as those we face every day.
However, if the story is celestial metaphor, which I believe that it can be shown to be, then we must ask what it is trying to tell us, if it is not actually telling us about a literal historical ancient personage who received a special gift of wisdom and once judged between two harlots in the case of a baby.
The answer is that the story is trying to tell us something about our own condition, here in the dual spiritual-material condition in which we find ourselves in this incarnate life. Among many other profound truths which this episode is intended to convey to our understanding is the message that this gift of "a wise and understanding heart" and the ability "to discern between good and bad" is not exclusive to Solomon: it is available to each of us.
And the scriptural passage is showing us that this understanding is available through connection with the divine realm, the infinite realm, the invisible realm which the ancient myths attempt to dramatize and make visible to us through the metaphors involving the starry realm of the heavens (the heavens being, in a very real sense, an infinite realm).
Solomon receives the gift of a wise and understanding heart when he is in the dream-state: and yet the encounter which follows demonstrates that the wisdom and understanding that he was given was very real, and applicable in the pressing decisions he faced every day. There are many ways in which we can have access to the invisible realm, and in which we can connect with the wisdom and understanding of what some traditions have called our Higher Self. Dreams and the dream-state are one of many ways in which we are able to do so: others include meditation, mantras, some forms of sacred song and chanting, drumming, disciplines such as Yoga and Tai Chi and Qigong, and many others.
The exchange between the Lord and Solomon in the dream state is extremely instructive. In I Kings 3 and verse 5, the Lord appears to Solomon in a dream by night, and says to Solomon, "Ask what I shall give thee." Note that there are no boundaries to this offer: the infinite realm is a realm of infinite potentiality.
Solomon then replies that he is "but a little child," who knows not "how to go out or come in," and what is more that he is in the midst of "a great people that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude," and that because of this he asks for "an understanding heart to judge thy people" (I Kings 3: 7 - 9).
The next verses tell us that this request pleased the Lord, who tells Solomon:
"Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done so according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches and honor" (I Kings 3: 11 - 13).
These verses, I think, teach us some extremely important lessons about accessing the divine realm. It is a realm of infinite potential, but it is not to be used for the purposes of self-enrichment, or selfish gain, or for inflicting harm upon one's enemies.
The Lord is pleased with Solomon's request because Solomon seeks wisdom and discernment between good and bad, for the purpose of helping others.
The passage shows us that the Lord granted Solomon this discernment and wisdom, and also gives Solomon some of what Solomon did not ask for, including riches and fame -- but these are "incidental" to the encounter, and not necessarily something that we should be worrying about: the purpose of seeking the wisdom available to us in the infinite realm is to help others, and to judge rightly between what is good and what is evil.
In his 1936 lecture, "The Stable and the Manger," which I have cited many times in previous posts, Alvin Boyd Kuhn said:
Bible stories are in no sense a record of what happened to a man or a people as historical occurrence. As such they would have little significance for mankind. They would be the experience of people not ourselves, and would not bear a relation to our life. But they are a record, under pictorial forms, of that which is ever occurring as a reality of the present in all lives. They mean nothing as outward events; but they mean everything as picturizations of that which is our living experience at all times. The actors are not old kings, priests and warriors; the one actor in every portrayal, in every scene, is the human soul. The Bible is the drama of our history here and now, and it is not apprehended in its full force and applicability until every reader discerns himself [or herself] to be the central figure in it! The Bible is about the mystery of human life. Instead of relating to the incidents of a remote epoch in temporal history, it deals with the reality of the living present in the life of every soul on earth. 4
This means that the wisdom of Solomon, as incredible as it may seem, is available to you -- and that the scriptural passage is trying to tell that to you and to me. And it is for helping others and judging properly between right and wrong.

Thursday night saw an incensed debate over Israel's attack on the Gaza strip with Israeli PM Shimon Peres defending his nation's actions. The video for the same may be viewed below,
This open session involved UN Sec General Ban Ki Moon, Arab League Sec General Amr Moussa, Mr. Shimon Peres and Turkish PM Erdogan in what has been termed a very lively discussion. Peres came out strongly on Israel's right to self defence and brought out the threats that the hamas posed to the jewish nation. He was however alone in his defence as the remaining leaders were vehement in their opposition to the offensive and Israel's treatment of civilians during the attack of which Mr. Peres offered no apologies or explanation.
The Israeli president unleashed a harsh, unyielding rant that was full of strange statements, truncated arguments and meandering rhetoric. Clearly, he is feeling the effects of his age as his remarks bordered on the incoherent at times. But what was most evident was the choleric tone.
Here are a few of the stranger statements: he claimed that Israel could not accept the Saudi 2002 initiative because "there was a small problem of Iran" which wishes to rule the Middle East. Peres also claimed that Hamas did not win a democratic election. Rather Mahmoud Abbas DID win an election as president of the Palestinians. Peres also claimed there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza; that Israel supplies all the water, fuel and electricity that Gaza needs; and that if there is a problem he would personally intervene to correct it.
Also, during the debate the Turkish PM was not given a chance to reply to Mr. Peres by the Moderator at which he got up and walked out of the room. News items here.
The Webcast of the whole session may be seen here.

With its long luxurious coat, colorful round eyes, and regal stature, the Persian is no doubt one of the most stunning cat breeds. But, as the old saying goes, looks ain't everything. Lucky for the Persian, this breed is also equipped with an outstanding personality especially when it comes to the qualities often sought in a family pet.
House Friendly
We've all seen the cartoon depiction of the home owner, after a long day, walking through their front door only to find that the family cat shredded all the curtains and knocked over all the precious knickknacks. While the comedic rendering is all in fun, there is something to be said about keeping a cat cooped up inside of a house all day. Cats tend to have a mischievous wild side that is often well suited for outdoor life. As a general rule, it is natural for a cat to thrive outside being well equipped with sharp claws, agility, and hunting skills. Of course there is almost always an exception to every rule, and in this case, the Persian definitely fits the exception to this rule. Persians are not only content being indoors, it is almost unsafe to allow a Persian to live outdoors. Persians are extremely docile thus making this breed an easy target as prey. It is this non-aggressive personality that makes the breed well suited for the indoors. Keep in mind that the Persian breed itself dates back to the late 1800's thus being domesticated for many years. At this point, Persians have been bred to live the indoor pampered life – it's in their blood.
Playful and Loyal
Although the Persian is a mild well-mannered cat, it's still a cat. Cats, even Persians, love to play and chase toys. So there will be times when your Persian is more active; however, the majority of the time, she will be very content chilling out next to you on the couch. Persians are also very loyal. It is not unusual for a Persian to follow its owner around the house much like a puppy dog. It is also not uncommon for your Persian to talk to you expressing (demanding) her favorite treat or toy.
Great Family Pet
When it comes to personality, it's also important not to paint with broad strokes. Just like people, cats have their own personality – even Persian cats. Some cats will be friendlier and more social than others. When shopping for a Persian kitten, it is important to ask the breeder about the personality of a kitten that you might be considering for purchase. Keep in mind that while looks are important, the personality of the kitten is key when it comes to family blending. However, overall, looking for Persian kittens for sale, understand that this is typically a quiet breed that functions well indoors.

Getting in shape is something a lot of people have trouble with. Not only that, but summer's just around the corner, so it's time to put down your TV remotes and pick up your iPads! Sometimes we want to exercise, but we just walk in the gym aimlessly, expecting to instantly lose weight and shape up with minimal effort. This is mainly due to lack of organisation.
In this roundup, I'm going to show you 10 great apps to help you achieve your ideal body and add some organisation into your workouts. Don't just think you can use one app and get away with it; a combination of diet, exercise and rest is the only way to get those washboard abs (or at least a lack of stomach!)
Like the article? Be sure to subscribe to our RSS feed and follow us on Twitter to stay up on recent content.
Fitness for iPad
This should be the brick and mortar when it comes to actually finding the workouts you want to do. Fitness for iPad contains a huge arsenal of detailed, step by step videos to show you the correct way to workout on tons of different exercises. The app contains a nifty calorie counter too, complete with nutritional information and over 300,000 foods stored in the database. It has over 100 pre-made workouts too, along with 50 yoga poses.
Using this app, you can really cover most if not all of your body in terms of muscle growth/toning, which is a key step in developing your body and shedding those carbs. By being stronger in more of your body, not only will you be balanced and strong, but you'll also look good from all angles.
Price: $0.99
Requires: iOS 4.1 or later
Developer: ARAWELLA
Yoga Free for iPad
Yoga is one of the bast ways to get in shape. It strengthens and stretches the muscle fibres in your body, making you more flexible and toned. Daily yoga will dramatically increase both these things along with balance and stability. This app contains 200 great yoga poses with detailed instructions and photos on how to perform them. Each pose is graded on the level of competence required to do it, so all fitness types can give this a go.
The app has a counter to time how long you remain in each pose, something I have to measure in breaths when doing it unassisted. I think this is a great thing to use alongside another workout-orientated app, as you can't harness maximum fat loss through just yoga. That's not to say it's a bad way of training; yoga will bring about massive health benefits.
Price: Free
Requires: iOS 4.2 or later
Developer: ARAWELLA
Everyday Fitness
This app's a great way to start off slimming down and keeping fit. Everyday Fitness has 79 fitness videos and 25 actionable articles and tips to helps you reach your fitness goals. It provides a wide array of fitness-related content, including yoga, pilates, flexibility, strength, and even posture tips/exercises for the beginner.
Starting off can be hard for some, but this is probably the best way to do it; using this app negates the need to empty your pockets for a gym membership and personal training, letting you workout quickly and properly. Posture's a very overlooked thing when it comes to fitness, but good posture not only makes you look smarter, it allows your muscles to develop properly without injury during exercise. Ideal for beginners.
Price: $3.99
Requires: iOS 3.2 or later
Developer: Canyon Ranch
OWT Fitness
Another decent fitness app that talks you through each workout using instructions and images. It categorises exercises by the muscles they work. This app's quite basic, but won't cost you anything to try out!
This app is probably good to take to the gym to help you work out properly with instruction. This will ensure you don't injure yourself, and if you're just starting out, form is the most important thing during exercise, so always look in a mirror or get a partner to see if your form is good.
Price: Free
Requires: iOS 3.1 or later
Developer: Centered Systems
Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker by MyFitnessPal
Another very important thing to consider when shaping up is the calories you put into your body. With great apps such as this one, you'll always be able to prepare a balanced, low-calorie meal that will assist you no end when sculpting your ideal body. This Calorie Counter & Diet Tracker is probably the nonpareil of its kind for the iPad, allowing you to not only monitor the nutrition of your food and add your own custom meals that you can reuse to your hearts content, but also containing its own database of 350+ exercises that are guaranteed to help you get in shape.
This all-in-one app is a great way to work out while also watching what you eat. The fact that its free too makes this a no-brainer. You can even personalise your own goals and share your progress with friends! Highly reccomended.
Price: Free
Requires: iOS 3.0 or later

Nike Training Club
Detailed instructions and audio support are on hand for 130 dynamic drills with this superb app. With more than 85 custom-built workouts, including some from celebrities and athletes, Nike Training Club has many of the essential tools in engineering your body. It allows you to set workouts to your own music and track details of your progress.
I personally love this app due not not just the diversity of full-body workouts, but it also has a rewards system, allowing you to unlock extra workouts to keep you motivated. It's quite a well designed app too, keeping it simple and clean.
Price: Free
Requires: iOS 4.0 or later
Developer: Nike
FitnessClass is a free app that has 370 in-depth workout videos which cost a small fee each, or you can pay for their 'ClassPass' which entitles you to all 370 videos for a yearly fee. This is probably the largest database of workouts so far and is bound to keep you busy. Each video was shot in HD. The app comes with 7 free workouts, and another free one is interchanged each week.
Running out of things to do or doing the same thing day on day can sometimes plateau in terms or its effectiveness, so having such a wide variety of workouts is a really helpful feature. If you're serious about using solely this app, I recommend going for the monthly/yearly subscription and doing a wide variety of workouts.
Price: Free (some fitness classes cost)
Requires: iOS 5.1 or later
Developer: PumpOne
The Snack App
This is just a simple app that will assist you in choosing low-calorie and good food for you snacks. You can see like many of the other apps the nutritional information of each snack, however on this app they're sorted by craving, e.g. sweet, salty, creamy etc. Basic health assistance like this and cutting down on calories can dramatically improve your results.
Price: Free
Requires: iOS 4.0 or later
Developer: Everyday Health
Fitness Pro
Fitness Pro is possibly the ultimate compilation of a range of workouts that you can use to work almost any muscle in your body due to the sheer volume of workouts supplied. One thing I love about this app is the variety of preset routines you can just get in there and use to your hearts content. It has a neat little overview of the human anatomy and by tabbing a muscle anywhere on the overview, you can see detailed information and exercises relevant to that specific muscle.
Without any cost, this app is jam-packed full of value! There's a world of exercises at your fingertips, all with detailed instructions and photos. If none of the fitness apps so far have worked for you, I strongly advise you to pick this one up and give one of the preset routines a go.
Price: Free
Requires: iOS 3.0 or later
Developer: Data Supply
Everyday Health for iPad
We could give you every exercise app and calorie counter known to man, however general health outside of exercise is just as important. This app is a guide to general health with helpful tips and detailed information in order to help you live a healthy lifestyle and get a real natural body.
The app has common sense, easy-to-use advice for your everyday health issues. It's a great way to support a healthy way of living in order to really finish off that dream body of yours. It has medically reviewed advice on many health conditions too, so you'll be able to see if you're doing something wrong in your training. And to top it all off, it's free.

At this year's EMO fair, Kasto will be presenting innovations from both sides of the company's business – sawing machine and storage system manufacture. Highlights will be an intelligent system for efficient use of energy in automated storage systems; an automatic version of the KASTOmicut swing-frame band saw, the A 2.6, which will make its world debut; and live demonstrations of the high-performance KASTOwin pro AC 5.6 bandsaw.
Storage technology
For many years, Kasto has been supplying its storage and retrieval systems for long stock and sheet with optional energy recovery, whereby surplus kinetic energy, such as that produced in braking or lowering of lifting gear, is converted into electricity and fed back into the grid.
Now the company can optionally supply its automated storage systems with an integrated energy storage unit that permits flexible use of the recovered power. It will be demonstrated on a KASTOunitower at EMO.
The solution, which can be retrofitted to existing installations, not only reduces energy costs but also improves the quality of the supply because power is continuously drawn and load peaks are avoided. Operators can often use smaller transformer stations, reducing investment costs.
Bandsawing technology
During 2016, the KASTOmicut swing-frame bandsaw range was introduced for workshops. A fully automatic version is now available, model A 2.6, which will be on show for the first time at EMO. Compared to the manual and semi-automatic variants, it features additional functions including monitoring of saw blade tension, carbide blade guides and an optional chip conveyor for virtually unattended operation.
All of the workshop machines are designed for high accuracy sawing to length of tubes, sections and solid materials as well as mitre cutting. The range extends to 260mm capacity for round stock, 310x260mm for flat. Mitre cuts are from -45 to 60° and the angle is continuously adjustable, as is the band speed, which can be set from 20-110m/min.
A torsionally rigid, vibration-damped, cast iron frame ensures excellent cutting quality, even when processing difficult-to-machine materials.
In the KASTOwin pro AC 5.6, the company will present a high-performance bandsaw offering short cutting times, long tool life and intuitive operation. The automatic machine is optimised for use with bimetal and carbide blades. Depending on the type of blade, processing times can be more than halved. Cutting range is 560mm and the smallest dimension that can be cut is 25x25mm. The shortest residual length is 10mm for individual cuts and 35mm for automatic operation, enabling operators to minimise waste.

Seattle police said they got a call around 8 a.m. Saturday reporting that a man had stabbed his girlfriend in the hand during a fight at an apartment in the 12700 block of Lake City Way Northeast. The man fled, and police say they found him hiding under a parked car in the complex's garage. He refused to come out, according to police. Police said the man was believed to be armed with a knife and possibly a gun. The suspect surrendered after SWAT team officers arrived and he was taken into custody without further incident, according to police. He will be booked into King County Jail for investigation of felony domestic-violence assault, police said. The victim was taken to a hospital, where she was being treated for a wound that is not life-threatening, police said.

In joint replacement surgery, an arthritic or damaged joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint called a prosthesis. Joint replacement is indicated for patients who suffer from severe pain due to damage to the cartilage, the smooth tissue that covers the bone ends of a joint. The goal of joint replacement surgery is to relieve the pain and disability caused by cartilage damage and is recommended when other treatment options fail. Although hip and knee replacements are the most common, joint replacement can be performed on other joints, including the ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow and fingers.

Founder of 'Innermost Me' blog, & 'Nicky Rapley Health & Happiness';a wearer of many hats; a 51 year old happiness seeker, certified nutritional therapist, yoga teacher, costumier, meditation teacher, event manager, cancer survivor , entrepreneur, daughter, girlfriend, cousin, niece and friend…(in no particular order)…it's all 'me'.. Nicky Rapley
Sometimes life tries to tell us to stop…then it tells us again, and again….but we don't listen…we push on through…looking outwards to achieve our goals, keep people happy, prove our worth, get appreciation. We work hard and play hard because 'we deserve to'…ignoring our body and spirit that are there to support, to nourish, to sustain… we take and take without giving back…We take and take until our body finally says – "listen! STOP NOW!"
Cancer diagnosis in 2012 was my final red light. Thankfully I survived thanks to the wonders of modern medicine but I believe that good food, change of attitude and new ways of being have supported my healing process. 18 months of chronic pain led to my being house bound following my final treatment over 3 years and ultimately forced me into being still. I had the luxury of time to take stock of life, to be honest with myself and to choose a more authentic path to meet my true values….(once I'd worked those out!)
That gift of time helped me to reshape my future and with it came my vision to help other like-minded, stressed out, over worked individuals not to get into the mess I did!
For decades, 'food was fuel' to me. Cooking was a chore in my house as a child and as I grew up…Combined with a hectic career, I neglected the most important thing we humans need to survive…good, clean nutritious food…which gives the body what it needs and wants to do – keep us in an equilibrium of internal repairing, balancing and creating, every second of every day.
Stress was a major negative factor in my life and partying / clubbing hard as an excuse to escape, because 'I deserved to' didn't help my physical or mental state. Learning how to reconnect with myself and relax using yoga, meditation and even simply how to breathe properly, has helped me begin to change that area in my life for the better.
I now offer holistic, science based, practical guidance and support to other like minded individuals who are realising they now have to give a s***t about their current state of health and happiness.
Well if that's you…My aim is to inspire and empower you to embrace your future in a state of well-being, with increased self – awareness, energy and joy and gain greater control of your health & life; and still have fun!
The name 'Innermost Me' reflects these elements that have become fundamental to my belief in living a healthier and happy life:
- Restoration – finding a place to just 'be'
- Re-connection – listening to my true self & the innate wisdom of my own body
- Awareness – noticing what's going on around me instead of just trying to reach a destination
- Prevention – having the knowledge to be able to choose what is truly good for me
I've set up this blog at the beginning of this adventure, to share simple but highly effective tools for self-support & healthy living; based on my extensive knowledge and practice of nutrition, mindfulness, meditation, yoga and creativity.
I'd love you to join me on this rewarding path, hopping on at wherever you may be right now…
Sign up over there on the right 🙂 and get a free guide to increasing your health & happiness.
Please do feel free to contribute and share your thoughts on my discoveries and on any that you may have yourself.

If you want to know more, here are a few things about me:
- I live in London
- I'm 51 years young.
- I got divorced on my 40th birthday
- I'm now in a long term happy LAT relationship – living apart together – we're both only children so maybe that's why it works
- I've never wanted children…I make a cool Aunt to my friend's kids – and that's enough for me
- I was a Soul Girl, New Romantic, a Futurist and finally settled into being a Goth when I was 17, pretty much into my mid 30's- complete with dyed red hair much to my mum's annoyance – sorry mum!
- Now I simply think of myself as an individual with my own style
- I lost my mum to Leukaemia in 1998 – she was only 59 years old
- I've had the honour to work with great actors and directors and the disappointment of working with egos
- I love a good Sunday roast at a cosy country pub – especially with an open fire in the winter
- I worked too hard, played too hard, was stressed with life and ate badly for years…and years…I got cancer…but it woke me up to what my body had been trying to tell me for years…thank you Universe!
- I'm on a quest to use my 2nd life to create a fabulous and inspiring business for lost and over worked souls to replenish and reconnect.
- I'm not a great cook but I do make a mean apple crumble (according to my boyfriend).
- Part of the 'new me' is to learn new and healthy ways of cooking.
- I drive a beaten up 20 year old VW golf convertible – it's like a tank and has moss growing on the windows but it always pass its MOT and in the summer with the roof down and music on, I'm in heaven
- My love of travel has fortunately been supported through my previous work within the world of Film & TV Costume and I have visited 32 countries
- I have a fondness for London with its vibrancy and creativity but I also yearn for the countryside where I spent my late teens
Thanks so much for stopping by. I look forward to connecting and sharing my adventures with you…..

Training on Law Enforcement concluded in Mogadishu
HIWA in cooperation with CISP had carried out training on law enforcement through community care project toolkit part three that was aimed to strengthen the capacity of Somalia's police and civilians particularly polices and communities in Yaaqshiid and Boondheere districts inorder to give access to survivors who undergo the different types of GVB.
This training was held for four groups from districts of Boondheere and Yaaqshiid from March 5th to April 31st 2016. Each group consisted of 30 persons and received 5 days in each week. The total participants from both districts were 120 participants. They included police forces, district administration members, peace committee leaders, religious leaders, and women group and community elders.
The training on law enforcement personnel particularly at the district level was to ensure that they are properly educated on law to protect citizens, especially GVB survivors in violent and insecure areas, especially women and girls who experience with SGBV, Working closely with communities in both districts. Respect for human rights and the promotion of gender equality is a primary focus area for the training, as is the development of an accountable and competent police service, ensuring compliance with and adherence to human rights standards. The trainined concentrated closely with police activities on law to institutionalize accountability, oversight and internal control mechanisms. Policing should complement existing and traditional community security structures and the justice sector so that those who are in conflict with the law have access to legal representation and due process.
The training was to critically reflect on myths about sexual violence in their community and list the components of the criminal justice system, and to be knowledgeable about the legal and procedural framework relating to sexual violence. The participants expressed free discussion on the role of police in preventing and responding to sexual violence and how to provide effective law enforcement response to sexual violence. During the trainings days they have also made good practice in receiving reports and conducting interviews with victims of sexual violence, including listing phase of an interview and having practiced interviewing victims of sexual violence and be able to demonstrate basic interviewing skills.
The two weeks days training covered different areas that educated for all police on human right and gender –based violence and improving community safety and security through community-based policing to strengthen community trust and collaboration with security actors.
"This is a very good training that build capacity of us police officer to improve our work and I am ready to work for my people that undergo sexual violence by using what I learnt from the training that is useful to me and as police officer our law is to protect people stay peace and safety especially victim of gender-based violence."Said nur,one of the police officer.
"The training is helpful to us because I learnt how to work with the community for their safety on sexual violence that happens in the community but GBV happens in different ways so the knowledge I gained from the training will help me to learn on how police forces work together to eliminate gender based violence in the community. I loved to be police woman because I wanted to work for my community to be safe and live peacefully and arrest perpetrator always." said Ladan police woman from Yagshiid.
In the training days there were presentations, reflection of the previews day wrap of the day which was their daily activity and was interesting to the participants and understand well.
"I learnt something important in the training because it helps the community to eliminate gender-based violence for working together with police officer and the administration group which is good unity to protect our communities and country too, what I learnt here is my work as community peace maker and feel happy to benefit knowledge that I didn't know before and I will raise awareness about gender-based violence to clear from the communities." Narrated Haji Ahmed, community peace maker from Yagshiid.
"Today it is a day that feel happy for this training of police officer, community and as administrations that come together to be trained on how to fight with gender-based violence in the community especially rape cases to be reported to police station in order to help the victim and be safe from sexual violenceviolence. I am here to help the women or girls that undergo sexual violence in the community because we here to work for their health, safety and security." Said Mama Kaha, the deputy District commissner of Yaqshiid District.

Glass paint can give your cabinets a lift
One of the most expensive parts of a kitchen remodel or update is the cabinetry. Good quality kitchen cabinets are actually furniture-quality pieces. They take a lot of abuse, even when they're just hanging around. Here's one way to use glass paint to give your kitchen cabinets a whole new look.
Use glass paint for a mini cabinet face lift
The cabinet parts we see most prominently – the doors – get worn from handling and use. They also collect a lot of grease and spatter, so they can appear tired quickly! If you've ever cleaned a wood surface, you know that it can take a lot of elbow grease to get the surfaces returned to their factory appearance. You also know that too much elbow grease can remove the finish! That's where a glass cabinet front-style door could be a great solution.
One great way to update your cabinets easily is by laminating the fronts with glass. Painted glass can transform the look of your kitchen in a matter of hours. It can also reduce the amount of work needed to keep your kitchen's appearance at the top of its game.
A thin painted glass laminate on your kitchen cabinets can easily create a great Art Deco look. This style looks great in older houses, and will easily complement any existing tile you may have in place.
Since GlassPrimer™ glass paint can be tinted to match virtually any paint palette, you can be sure that your glass laminate doors and fronts will match the rest of your paint plan perfectly!
If your cabinet hardware isn't in the best of condition, and you're worried about adding extra weight to the front of your cabinetry, consider swapping the glass laminate for Plexiglas™. Plexiglas™ will add only a nominal weight to the cabinet doors and fronts, and delivers a similar performance to glass. It's inexpensive, too. The cost of Plexiglas™ is comparable to thin sheets of glass, and the sheets can be cut easily to fit any dimension.
GlassPrimer™ glass paint works well on Plexiglas™ surfaces, and requires the same simple surface preparation as glass. Clean the glass with alcohol, remove any grease or debris with fine grit steel wool and dry with a paper towel. Once the surface is prepared, you're ready to paint!
That's a quick update for tired kitchen cabinets, and one that won't break the bank. If you'd like more information about using glass paint in your kitchen, please visit the rest of our site.

According to the notice of public hearing at left, the County Legislature is considering an
"increase and improvement of the facilities of the Oneida County Sewer District in said County . . . to fix various problems concerned with the wet weather overflows from the Sauquoit Creek Pumping Station . . ."The "problems" to be fixed were caused when sanitary sewer lines from massive new suburban developments were connected to the County's combined sewer overflow at the pumping station. The suburban officials who approved the developments, and the county officials who approved the connections, either knew or should have known that the connections were illegal -- but they allowed them anyway, making suburban growth possible. Now that they got "caught" and have to fix the problem, because facilities "of the Oneida County Sewer District" are being improved, all customers of the sewer district -- roughly half of whom are Utica residents -- are being forced to pay the cost.
While seemingly "small potatoes" at only a $3 annual cost per family, this is only the most recent example of how residents of Utica are being required to support suburban "growth" while the tax base of their own City shrivels and their taxes soar.
Suburban jurisdictions get Sewer District help in taking care of their wet-weather overflows, but, as indicated in an 11/15/2006 letter from the County Water Pollution Control Commissioner to the DEC, Utica will not be permitted to send its wet-weather overflows to the County treatment plant. As pointed out here five years ago, Utica is being left on its own.
County Legislators from New Hartford (and other places where the illegal hookups were made) might be forgiven for approving this plan because their constituents benefit. Those from Utica, however, need to take notice of this cost-shift and either speak out and vote against it, or demand that as part of the deal the Sewer District provide similar aid to Utica in solving the city's overflow problem (as recommended years ago by the DEC).
Owing to the way the Sewer District was set up, almost half of the County Legislators who will vote on this proposal represent areas that are unaffected. Rather than merely "rubber stamp" what county administrators have proposed, I ask that they take a serious look at the results of such policies: more "growth" in suburban areas (because it is subsidized) and decline in Utica (because that is where the subsidy comes from). More suburban growth is planned, making solution of the problem even more pressing. Increasing the County's urbanized acreage while its population declines means that the average costs of all local services must go up. This helps to explain why Oneida County is one of the most heavily taxed counties in the nation when calculated as a percentage of real property value. Continuing such policies can only lead to more regional decline.
The Mayor and City Officials should not ignore this as a "County" or "Sewer District" issue because the costs of living and doing business within the City, and the City's ability to pay its bills, are directly impacted.
Change the plan so that only the areas receiving the benefits pay for them

Dr. Thomas Sicheritz-Ponten fil.dr, has a background in Bioinformatics and Molecular Evolution from Uppsala University, Sweden and has been working in the genome/metagenome sequencing field for over 20 years, starting 1996 when he built the bioinformatics infrastructure for the first published Scandinavian genome project. He was also the first bioinformatics PhD to be examined from Uppsala University.
He is collecting different samples from all-over the world and develops new tools that will address many of the unique challenges of metagenomics data sets. The majority of his projects are based on at least one of following three simple question: Who is in there? What are they doing? How are they doing it?
He works in collaborations with scientific groups with widely different interests and experience in bioinformatics from all over the world and his group is constantly exploring new areas within the world utilising NGS, Omics, Big Data and AI. He collects samples from all branches of the tree of life from all over the world and engages in expeditions across the globe including India, the Amazon rainforest, Australian bush, Arabian desert, Greenland wilderness, Polar seas and the Southeast Asian rainforests.
A major focus is animal (everything from human, koalas, vultures to vampire bats) microbiomes and hologenomes and the development of novel strategies for microbiome analysis. He is also involved in the Center for Genomic Epidemiology for the analysis of metagenomic samples from sewage, urine, feces, lungs, blood for surveillance and diagnostics and outbreak detection and visualisation e.g. global disease tracking using long-distance flights
A substantial part of his research is to support the biotech industry and find novel solution to industrial challenges. That ranges from using 'omics tools to identify the pathways responsible for the production of the natural colours in insects and plants to improving the taste of wine by identifying microbial communities and their importance during anaerobic fermentation and aerobic processes.

SpectraCell Laboratories offers comprehensive male and female hormone panels that reveal the overall state of hormonal balance in a patient. Like nutrients, hormones influence all aspects of health and disease - mood, sleep, metabolism, immunity, heart health and appearance. An imbalance of one hormone can initiate cascade of events that alters other hormones, so a comprehensive look at hormone status is key. Thyroid hormones directly regulate every cell in our body as most basic functions like metabolism, emotions and thinking. We also test several proteins that affect thyroid function as well as antibodies to thyroid which can detect autoimmunity (when the immune system attacks healthy tissue) and your levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.
