Luis Quiroz
Hair Loss Treatment
Super Formula
Over time, my hair loss treatment to stop hair loss and hair care,
will become classic and universal. Big Pharma will hate me.
A Single Formula for both Purpose
For the first time I reveal my revolutionary herbal
hair loss treatment
to stop
hair loss
hair care
for men and women of all ages. My formula, effective, inexpensive and easy to prepare
with natural ingredients found anywhere,
is the result of years of investigation and search for losing hair solutions.
Excuse my not grammatical English.
My name is Luis Quiroz Ravines, I am Peruvian Journalist of 68 years, specialized in Natural Health. I have created numerous natural products for different health needs, such as "Fungi Free Forever", "Natural Control of Diabetes", "Natural Arthritis Relief", "Super Antioxidant Wine", "QUIROZ Super Juice", including my best treatment for hair loss. I myself cured of a disease that medical science says it was incurable. I have written the book
�Cure Cancer with Natural Treatments�
. In Peru, only with my remedy for the prostate I have cured more than 2000 men. My lotion to
stop hair loss in just 17 days
is the first product that I present to the public.
My Lotion and Hair Loss in Men
Daily use of my lotion stops male hair loss in about two weeks and also reduces dandruff and seborrhea; really my lotion should be used by young people to keep their hair beautiful and healthy and above all to prevent hair loss and delay the appearance of grey hair.
Does my Hair Loss Treatment Promote
Hair Growth?
Theoretically YES, but I only promise that you will stop losing hair in about 17 days and will keep it strong, healthy and bright. This formula should stimulate also the growth of the hair. I wanted that you have luck in this sense. The organisms are different and react of different form
And what about the Gray Hairs?
The daily use of my lotion smooths and delays the appearance of gray hair, you see my picture, a few gray hairs to my age, 68 years. Most of my classmates, look abundant gray and white hair.
Where do You find
the Components of my Formula?
The herbs for my formula found anywhere in the world, in grocery stores, health food stores and two products at your local pharmacy.
But in addition, I provide you with several LINKS to buy online, if you want. These vendors shipped anywhere in the world.
How do You Prepare my Hair Health Lotion?
Follow these simple steps:
1 -
Let macerate during 15 days, 3 of the herbs, in whiskey, brandy, rum or Vocke
2 -
Strain with a thin cloth and add the last two components
3 -
Strain again with cotton twice or better still with filter paper, add a few drops of perfume and ready, you can use my homemade lotion.
Prepare enough LOTION for seven months or more.
How Much Is The
Hair Loss Treatment Formula?
How much would you pay for a formula that could be patented and exploited globally? It is possible that Big Pharma does not like that I reveal my formula to stop losing hair and general hair care . But I am the founder of the
World Movement of Direct Help to the Poor
and I promote "The Miracle of Sharing". But do not panic, you only pay a small fee, for once in your life, you have the formula forever and you can prepare the lotion whenever you want or need.
I am a dreamer and I dream of a better world without limits and without selfishness. I wish that the world knows my homemade formula and benefits from its results. I hope will be useful and I thank God for giving me this opportunity. I like to practice
The Miracle of Sharing
, I sell the formula for hair problems, to raise funds for my charity work.
My Lotion and Women Hair Care
My lotion is also ideal for general care of hair for men and women, regardless of their age or their hair type.
If you are a lady and you hair is fine, dry, brittle, weak and lifeless, use daily my Quiroz lotion and your hair will look beautiful, strong and healthy, with smoothness and brightness and at the same time you will prevent losing hair. My hair loss treatment works.
Who should USE my Hair Loss Treatment?
with hair problems at any level and to prevent hair loss.
Women and men who want to look beautiful hair, firm, smooth, healthy and super bright
If you are
and do not lose hair, use lotion to prevent losing hair.
If you are a
just use the lotion daily to keep your hair beautiful and healthy
Very Important
If you want to prevent baldness you should start to care and strengthen your hair, even before it begins to fall. I started to use the anti losing hair lotion to 64 years old when I had an accelerated baldness, but at this age I have stopped my hair loss dramatically, so it is very important that men and women begin to take care of your hair from their youth.
Component #1.
My mother (who was peasant and lived 90 years) used this plant since young woman to eliminate dandruff and keep her hair, long, lustrous and healthy. The plant is cheap and easy to find anywhere.
Component #2.
This plant used since ancient times as hair loss treatment, promote health and the growth of the hair, stimulates energetically the capillary circulation, restoring life and strength to the hair.
This plant has demonstrated the ability to stop the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, that is to say, to reduce the excessive levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which has profound effect on hair loss in men and women.
Component #3.
This ancient plant used mainly in India and China (now found in any market) has been used in foods but not for hair loss treatment. Investigating and analyzing, I found however, that the plant has marked properties to irrigate, to nourish and to give life to the hair and using it in my formula results are excellent.
Component #4.
It is a powerful bactericidal, biocide, fungicide and natural antibiotic with electrical properties that prevents that the follicle rots for causes of seborrhea, dandruff or other and prevents hair loss.
Component #5.
It is a powerful natural nutrient for all hair types containing high doses of vitamins and essential acids for health and beauty of hair, Such as:

When New York's famed Tavern on the Green closed due to bankruptcy last year, it left a void for many in the city's restaurant landscape, particularly tourists who had heard about the legendary space and still flocked to the location unaware it had closed. So it was fitting when the former restaurant space was turned into a Central Park Visitors Center last fall. To fill the culinary void left by the restaurants closing, several food trucks were stationed outside the center. Now one of those trucks is poised to cash in by being the first New York City food truck to fill another void: alcohol.
The Pera Turkish Taco Truck applied for a liquor license this spring and the license was approved this week. The truck can start selling alcohol as soon as today.
William Crowley, a spokesman for New York State Liquor Authority tells the New York Times that Pera's is the first food-truck liquor license to be granted in New York City. It's likely not the last.
According to the New York Times, two of the other four trucks on the Tavern Plaza, Rickshaw Dumpling and Ladle of Love have also applied for liquor licenses. But for now, the Turkish Taco truck has the first-mover advantage and you can bet at they'll do a brisk business.
Does this mean we'll see food trucks in other parts of the city serving alcohol? Possibly, but don't expect an alcohol truck-revolution.
Food truck patrons who buy alcohol from Turkish Taco must drink their beverages on the Tavern on the Green plaza, which is an enclosed space. The Liquor Authority says the liquor application was approved because the truck was limited to a "specifically defined area" and alcohol cannot be removed from the designated zone.

April 22nd, 2013 11:17 AM by Lori Speight
With shrinking inventories and more competition, buyers are finding they have less negotiating power in today's market. CNNMoney recently highlighted some of the following tips to help home buyers be more successful in their purchases this spring:
1. Lowball offers are a waste of time: "The days when you could scoop up a house for 20 percent less than the list price are long gone," the article notes. Homes are selling much closer to their asking price nowadays, surveys show. Michael Murphree, a real estate professional in Birmingham, Ala., says he advises his clients that if homes are selling below the list price in an area but are still being sold in less than two months to make an offer that is no more than 2 to 3 percent below the asking price. If homes are selling above the listing price, Murphree advises clients to make their first offer at the full asking price.
2. How to win a bidding war: To do that, agents say come with a higher price and fewer contingencies, and be flexible with when you can move in. In some transactions, the sellers could be left trying to find new housing for themselves, so some real estate professionals suggest leaving the closing date blank on the contract and allow the seller to fill it in, or be willing to negotiate a leaseback if the seller needs more time to vacate.
3. Shop around for financing: Credit unions and small banks tend to offer the lowest rates and may even be less strict about their underwriting, Guy Cecala, publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance, told CNNMoney. Cecala recommends getting a good-faith estimate from one lender and then showing it to other lenders to see if they can beat it. Source: "Housing Is Back! Best Moves for Home Buyers," CNNMoney (April 8, 2013)

So, it's February, and that means that Freedom to Read Week is quickly approaching! For those that don't know, Freedom to Read Week is the Canadian equivalent to Banned Books Week (which takes place in September). This year, it takes place February 24-March 2. I personally kind of love that these two weeks are on the opposite ends of the year, since it allows the purpose of the week to be showcased twice!
Freedom to Read Week celebrates, of course, the freedom to read! There are still tons of books that are challenged and banned in the world, denying people access to them. This is definitely something I feel very strongly about…people should be able to read what they want. A book is great…if you don't like it, you can close the covers and leave it be! But just because one person doesn't like it, it shouldn't mean that others can't enjoy it.
I want to make it my goal to always read a challenged or banned book every year for Freedom to Read Week. I read challenged books naturally, too, but I think it's a good practice to choose a book that's been challenged, and read it in celebration of the week. There are definitely plenty to choose from!
If you're interested in seeing what books were challenged in Canada in 2011 (they haven't posted 2012 yet), you can do so here.
I haven't decided what I'll read this year. Last year about this time, I read Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. I have a few ideas for this year, so we'll see what I end up choosing!
So how about you? Will you celebrate Freedom to Read Week? And, if you're not Canadian and will not be joining our celebration now, do you celebrate Banned Books Week in September?

The lovely Zoe Kravitz turned out for the Matthew Williamson show this morning in true rock-star fashion—wearing the t-shirt she'd slept in. Throwing on a little Matthew Williamson short-sleeve blazer (with jewel detail hidden beneath her hair) and a pair of adorable vintage heels transformed the torn and tattered bedtime tee into a very chic fashion week moment.

Sherry Tasting

Just a few days ago we went out to Stockbridge for the evening. And the first place we went to is called Goya 23. It's a Sherry tasting experience and wine bar. Now when I think of Sherry I usually think of the sherry my mother might occasionally have cooked with and the itty bitty […]

Tantallon Castle
By admin on September 4, 2017
The idea was to visit the castles that are within reasonable distance to Edinburgh. And Tantallon Castle is just one of those castles. The people at the visitor center made it sound easy to get there and certainly well worth the trip out. Take the train from Waverley station in Edinburgh and go to North […]

Hammer toes is a secondary problem originating from fallen cross arches. The toes start to curl and get pulled backwards, as the collapsed or pushed out metatarsal bones pull the tendons and ligaments, and causes them to get shorter and tighter. This condition causes the toes have higher pressure and they have limited movement and cannot be straightened fully. This can lead to numbness and pain in the toes as muscles, nerves, joints and little ligaments are involved with this condition. As the top part of the toe can rub against the shoe, it can cause corns and calluses.
The muscles of each toe work in pairs. When the toe muscles get out of balance, a hammer toe can form. Muscle imbalance puts a lot of pressure on the toe's tendons and joints. This pressure forces the toe into a hammerhead shape. How do the toe muscles get out of balance? There are three main reasons. Your genes, you may have inherited a tendency to develop hammer toes because your foot is slightly unstable – such as a flat foot. But high-arched feet can also get hammer toes. Arthritis. Injury to the toe: ill-fitting shoes are the main culprits of this cause. If shoes are too tight, too short, or too pointy, they push the toes out of balance. Pointy, high-heeled shoes put particularly severe pressure on the toes.
Hammer toes can cause problems with walking and lead to other foot problems, such as blisters, calluses, and sores. Pain is caused by constant friction over the top of the toe?s main joint. It may be difficult to fit into some shoe gear due to the extra space required for the deformed toe. In many cases there will be pain on the ball of the foot over the metatarsals along with callus formation. This is due to the toes not functioning properly, failing to properly touch the ground during the gait cycle. The ball of the foot then takes the brunt of the ground forces, which causes chronic pain.
Most health care professionals can diagnose hammertoe simply by examining your toes and feet. X-rays of the feet are not needed to diagnose hammertoe, but they may be useful to look for signs of some types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis) or other disorders that can cause hammertoe.
Non Surgical Treatment
Your podiatrist may recommend conservative treatment techniques for your hammertoes based on your foot structure, which will likely involve removing any thick, painful skin, padding your painful area, and recommending for you shoes that give your curled toes adequate room. Conservative care strategies for this health purpose may also involve the use of Correct Toes, our toe straightening and toe spacing device.
Surgical Treatment
Sometimes when the joints are removed the two bones become one as they are fused in a straightened position. Many times one toe will be longer than another and a piece of bone is removed to bring the toes in a more normal length in relation to each other. Sometimes tendons will be lengthened, or soft tissue around the joints will be cut or rebalanced to fix the deformity. Angular corrections may also be needed. The surgeon may place fixation in your foot as it heals Hammer toe which may include a pin, or wires.
The best ways to prevent a hammertoe are. Wear shoes that fit well. Shoes should be one-half inch longer than your longest toe. Shoes should be wide enough and the toe box should be high enough to give the foot room to move. Don?t wear shoes with heels over 2 inches high. If a toe starts to look like a hammertoe, buy shoes that have an extra high toe box. Wear corn pad removers or cushion pads on top of the affected toe. See your healthcare provider any time you have foot pain that does not go away quickly or is more than mild pain. Foot pain is not normal.

Continuing to explore female vocals, I put in Whitney Houston's sophomore album Whitney (Arista). The track "I Know Him So Well" featuring Houston in a duet with her mother, Cissy Houston, was thoroughly enjoyable. The very different vocal characters of the older and younger Houstons were reproduced accurately and matter-of-factly, without any romanticizing or smoothing over of effects using mid-bass boosts or other tweaks you often hear in lower-priced bookshelf models.
What continued to impress me was the fact that my listening room, being a very large 17 feet wide by 24 feet long by nine feet tall, did not seem far too large a space for the speakers to fill. No, I didn't quite get the immersive experience that a large floor-standing speaker pair would deliver in fully pressurizing the room with sound, but again, we aren't talking about the same class of speaker on multiple fronts. Without subwoofer accompaniment, the piano in the background sounded a little flat and lacked some energy, consistent with the fact that these were never meant to be full-range speakers. When I added the budget-friendly PSW110 to mix, though (with the Onkyo set to cross over below 80Hz), the sound was respectable and pleasing. The upper bass registers were very crisp and natural, the way piano sounds should be. The pairing was quite clean, in that the total frequency range was seamless. It wasn't like I had a treble and midrange and then, boom, a subwoofer. Overall, it was a clean sound.
I switched to some classical music to see what the speakers could do with a whole lot of things going on simultaneously and with a much wider frequency range than female vocals. I put in the first CD (which held all the Star Wars music) in the six-CD set The Music of John Williams: The Definitive Collection (Silva Screen), which features the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra playing through an anthology of 40 years of movie soundtrack magic composed by the maestro. In the tracks "Star Wars: A New Hope" and "Throne Room (Finale)," the TSx220B speakers handled the scale of orchestral music amazingly well, but here is where the illusion of invincibility that the Polks fought so valiantly to uphold finally began to break down. While the separation of sounds between instruments was handled reasonably well, a truly high-performance pair of monitors, such as the Focal Diablo Utopia, would add that extra level of resolution and detail from the strings section, as well as a little more energy and brightness in the horns and trumpets that are so prevalent in Williams' early works. In addition, with full orchestral music, the subwoofer was absolutely necessary in order to fully reproduce the essence and grandeur of the tracks. With the subwoofer added, I again got absolutely pleasing upper bass. However, on Track Five, "Imperial March," the smaller subwoofer was not able to master the strong and dynamic mid-bass and deeper base registers that Williams uses to convey the fear associated with an army of storm troopers marching to the orders of Darth Vader and the evil Emperor. That richness and depth in the lowest registers that you get with a much larger and more powerful subwoofer just wasn't there. I also tried out the smaller TSx110Bs with these tracks, which expectedly had a more difficult time pressurizing the room with sound.
Next, I went with a 5.1-channel setup, using the TSx220B speakers as my front left and right speakers and the TSx110B speakers as my left and right surrounds. I added the TSx250C center channel and, of course, the PSW110 sub. I played Brave on Blu-ray (Buena Vista), which is one of my favorite demo movies for speakers, as it features a rich score of Scottish-themed music, action sequences, and plenty of dialog. More than that, it's just good clean fun. With all six speakers firing, especially the three front channels, I got the fullness of sound that wasn't quite there with the more complex two-channel music demos. The little TSx110Bs did not disappoint in any way as surrounds. In one scene, where King Fergus gathers his court around to recount, in his thunderous, bellowing voice, how he stood up against a menacing bear, dialog was clean and precise. The speaker/subwoofer combo reproduced all of the energy of the roar and laughter from the king's audience, giving you the full sense of the festivities the scene is trying to portray.
Moving to an action genre film, I chose The Expendables (Millennium Films) on Blu-ray. Dialog, even in quieter scenes like the one where Barney (Sylvester Stallone) and Tool (Mickey Rourke) are having a heart to heart in a tattoo parlor about the dismal life of a mercenary, was effortless and delivered with great resolution. The TSx110Bs as surrounds never left anything to be desired throughout the film's many bullet-ridden and effects-heavy scenes. What continued to amaze me was that the combination of smaller-sized speakers never gave way and lost that sense of scale that you often get with these action movies at reference volume levels, except perhaps in scenes requiring extreme low frequencies, like an early scene where Barney and his crew are escaping an evil dictator's fortress in a noisy prop plane. Here, the impact of the rumble was not felt as much as it would via a larger subwoofer. I'm not saying I didn't hear the plane take off or the low-frequency percussive sounds of heavy artillery explosions, but my room wasn't shaking like it would with a pair of, say, large JL Gotham subs.
The Downside
The Polk TSx220B bookshelf speakers aren't the last word in detail and resolution, and they are not meant to be full-range speakers, so pairing them with some sort of subwoofer is recommended to get a real full-range music experience. A larger high-performance subwoofer would add even more to the quality of the home theater experience. In addition, you want to make sure that your room size is not excessively large (although, as I mentioned previously, I think you'll be surprised how much sound you can get out of these Polks). Really these aren't faults that are unique to the Polks in this price range. In fact, I would argue that, for what one should expect for the price, the TSx220B really doesn't have any glaring faults.
Comparison and Competition
Polk's entry-level TSx Series faces a solid amount of competition in its price category. For $225 per pair, you have the Emp Tek E5Bi, which has a higher reported sensitivity and a broader suggested range in power rating for suitable amplification. I imagine the Polks would be easier to drive. The Paradigm Shift A2 at $279 may be a more versatile option, having its own power. Based on my brief encounters with the A2s, I believe the Polks would prove to be more neutral and have better clarity. At $250 per pair, the Hsu Research HB-1 may be great competition for the Polks, but horn speakers have a unique sound profile somewhat different than that of traditional cone driver speakers. I would also throw in the well-reviewed Pioneer SP-FS52 speakers, which are actually floor-standing models that carry a price tag of just $130 each.
I talked a bit about what these speakers were not, and I even compared them with speakers that are so far beyond what would be competition for their price range that it might seem ridiculous. This is not out of disrespect or any intent to somehow downgrade the Polk TSx speakers. Rather, I was so impressed with what they could do that I didn't think it right not to seriously compare them with models from higher performance classes. All in all, the Polk TSx speakers made for a thoroughly enjoyable music-listening and movie-watching experience. Even after all my listening tests were completed, I found myself procrastinating in packing up the speakers and sending them back to the manufacturer. It's just so easy to keep listening to them. The Polk TSx220B is an astoundingly great value that you can purchase through pretty much whatever distribution channel you please.

Avatron Software Launches Air Display Free App
I'm a fan of the Air Display app for my iPad. Once my MacBook Pro and my 3rd-gen iPad are connected to the same network, I can fire up the app and use my iPad as a high-resolution 2nd monitor for my laptop. All the features and functions that i'm used to using a traditional dual monitor setup are available when I download the supporting software for my MacBook and as a $10 app download from iTunes.
If you think 10 bucks is steep when it comes to mobile apps, the folks at Avatron Software have decided to launch Air Display Free, the (you guessed it) free version of the paid app with all the same features, minus the hefty price tag. The free download is available for any iPad (including Mini), iPhone, Android, or Mac or PC and can give you a second monitor, just in case you need to do some heavy pivot table work in Excel…I'm sure you can think of more interesting things to do with a multiple screen display.
With the free version of Air Display the app is ad-supported, but that's the only hitch I could find as every paid feature is available in the free version. So if you're having a hard time convincing somebody (or yourself) why you need a tablet, check out Air Display Free and let us know what you think.

Stocks extended gains, closing higher for a second straight day after the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged as expected. Stocks rallied to session highs after the statement as treasuries declined.
First, the scoreboard:
- Dow: 17,751.39, +121.12, (0.69%)
- Nasdaq: 5,111.73, +22.53, (0.44%)
And now, the top stories on Wednesday:
- The Fed is still waiting for the data to be good enough to warrant a rate hike. "The Committee anticipates that it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate when it has seen some further improvement in the labor market and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2 percent objective over the medium term," it said in its policy statement. And so, just as expected, there were no big changes.
- Yelp shares plunged 25%. On Tuesday evening, the company reported second-quarter results and slashed its outlook for full-year earnings. It now expects net revenues of between $544 million and $550 million. The company is struggling to scale its sales force and has reduced hiring.
- Twitter had a rough day, with shares falling as much as 14%. The company reported earnings after the bell yesterday. It reported a beat on revenues and profits, and the stock initially jumped 6% after-hours. But on the earnings call, interim CEO Jack Dorsey said, "we do not expect to see sustained meaningful growth in [monthly active users] until we start to reach the mass market." And this morning, many sell-side analysts downgraded the stock.
- Shake Shack had its best day since it went public in January. Shares soared 20%. It's 180 days since the IPO, and the lockup period, during which insiders could not sell shares, expires today.
- West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures rallied towards $50 per barrel after data showed an unexpected drop in inventories. The Energy Information Administration said stockpiles fell by 4.2 million barrels last week. Also, Dow Jones reported that Saudi Arabia would scale back oil production after the summer. WTI climbed to as high as $49.50.
- Pending home sales fell for the first time this year in May. Sales dropped 1.8% month-over-month (0.9% expected, 0.9% prior) and rose 11.1% year-over-year (11.3% expected, 8.3% prior). "We would still interpret the 'June weakness' as payback after housing activity made a strong start to 2015 and expect the housing market to remain in recovery mode," wrote Barclays economists in a note to clients.

Posted on 17.03.2010 - 08:00 EDT in ONSHORE NEWS by ginamc
On 12 March 2010, Fugro formally took delivery of a new-build survey vessel, the M/V Fugro Searcher which it commissioned in 2007. Fugro took the opportunity to look at all aspects of overall survey vessel design in detail and install the latest equipment, making it the most advanced vessel of its type in the world.
The vessel will operate in the offshore oil and gas industry and the offshore renewable energy sector. It will be able to carry out the full range of site and route survey tasks to obtain the high resolution data necessary for safe, efficient and cost-effective planning, design and engineering activities involving the seabed and the installation of pipelines, platforms, wind turbines, subsea structures and other seabed furniture.
The new vessel will have permanently mobilised geophysical and hydrographic survey spreads. Geotechnical equipment will be installed on a project by project basis. The Fugro Searcher represents initial steps in a global vessel replacement schedule with the objective of removing older tonnage from the fleet and clearly differentiating Fugro's Offshore Survey Division from other providers.

Pop humpty-dumpty Michael Jackson has a new album out today. If that statement seems odd, you don't know the half of it; five years after his death, Jackson is only on album number two. Compared to a trooper like Tupac – who still manages a couple of albums per year, despite having copped it in 1996 – his posthumous output is actually pretty sluggish.
Record labels have always had a talent for cashing in on their dead charges. The zombie discs that result are generally made up of songs the 'artist' was too embarrassed to release when he recorded them. Michael Jackson's new one, Xscape goes one further. It's a cut 'n' paste job of unused demos and vocal off-cuts remixed by some producers who were quite cool circa 2002. It's thus hard to approach it without thinking of that Spitting Image sketch where Konstantin Chernenko's corpse is made to lip-synch a public address.
It doesn't bode particularly well. I've always thought the Jackson 'classics' – the albums he recorded before going white and weird – were a bit overrated. As 80s MTV stars go, I'd take Prince or Madonna over Michael Jackson any day. Time was not kind to the strangest man in pop. The bolder the claims made by Jackson's album titles – Off the Wall; Thriller; Bad; Dangerous – the less interesting they became. (The last one he released during his lifetime was called Invincible. Ouch.)
Ignore the air of exploitation and Xscape is okay; it veers inoffensively between second rate R'n'B and squeaky funk wallpaper. Hardly thrilling, but more fun than anything else Jackson's name has been attached to in the last twenty-odd years. Though given that this takes in some of the most embarrassing music ever recorded (have you heard 'Earth Song' recently?), that's really not saying much.
The highlights don't soar, but they're pleasant enough. The single, 'Love Never Felt so Good' (I'm having real trouble resisting the necrophilia gags), is catchy, though it falls well short of the summer smash charm it strives for. The title track is Thriller-lite, which won't upset anyone. 'Chicago', a retro-futurist 80s soul track, is actually quite exciting, the only moment where the album feels entirely necessary.
Hearing a voice that's been manipulated from beyond the grave is always going to be creepy, and when it's singing lines like 'I've been abused, watch me light in fuse', on Xscape's 'Blue Gangsta', you can't help but feel spooked. The first part sounds like a confession from a deeply troubled man, but it's tacked onto a throwaway conclusion to make it scan. Otherwise, regardless of taste, it's a bit pathetic. 'Slave to the Rhythm' begs comparisons to the Grace Jones hit of the same name: they don't turn out favourably.
The merits aren't worth it. In the end, it leaves a bad taste. All the king's horses…

A few months ago it was my 30th birthday. Now I know most 30 year olds would be out in a posh wine bar celebrating to the early hours, but seeing as a week later it's Ruby's birthday, we decided to combine our treats and spend a few days in London - with the highlight being a trip to London Zoo!
Despite having grown up in the South East and having lived in London throughout my 20s, I had never in my memory made a trip to the zoo, so I was particularly excited! We had got the train up the previous day and were staying in a hotel in Acton. Ruby is a natural when it comes to public transport and she wasn't perturbed by the underground at all, rather she quite enjoyed charming all her fellow travellers from her buggy!
Now, before we get to the zoo part, I did just want to share a travelling hack with you. You know when you have to check out of your hotel at 11am but you're going out for the day and don't want to lug your suitcase around with you? Well head over to the Excess Baggage Company. We travel out of St. Pancras Station to get home, which is luckily quite near to the Zoo so we stopped there first, dropped off our bag before heading off on our luggage-free way. You pay about £10 for 24 hours and it is well worth it to not be lugging a suitcase round the zoo with you!
Anyway, onto the zoo! We got off at Camden tube and walked down, it's really clearly signposted and not that far - maybe 15-20 minutes. I think our other option would have been to walk from St. Pancras through Regent's Park - there's probably not much in it as we were at St. Pancras anyway.
We went on a Tuesday during term time so the zoo itself was not that busy. Aside from a few school trips and the odd tourist there weren't many people around so it made for a really pleasant day with Ruby. We got her out the buggy on arrival and she trooped around for most of the day on foot which made it so much more enjoyable because you felt like she was experiencing it all.
The weather was quite changeable so we started off sheltering from a shower in the Aquarium. I thought Ruby would enjoy all the lights and bubbles and different coloured fish floating about but she marched past every tank shouting "Fish!.... more fish!.... more fish!...." so I'm not sure she was particularly enamoured by all the different varieties, but we thought they were pretty cool to see!
We had a leaflet which told us when all the feeding times were so we planned our day around that, prioritising the tigers, penguins and giraffes. After stopping for a picnic lunch on a bench we visited the Gorilla Kingdom and then the tiger enclosure for feeding time. The staff appeared really knowledgeable and covered everything you would want to know about tigers, and those tigers specifically. It was really interesting. We got there just early enough to grab a spot by the glass so we could see, but if you're caught out and it's busy you might find that you can't see as much, despite there being plenty of different viewing spots.
The zoo is big enough for you to feel like you're getting your money's worth but not so big that it's overwhelming or exhausting, even for a two year old. It's very buggy friendly with most of it being on ground level or with ramps. Ruby walked around most of it and loved it!
A highlight for us were the penguins! (If you read my Aquarium post, you'll know we're big penguin fans!). We got there for feeding time and it didn't disappoint. We bagged ourselves front row seats. Ruby loved watching them jump and dive and swim and again, the talk was entertaining and informative. It's popular though - so get there early for a seat!
We also love giraffes so visiting them was a must! We had arrived in time for what we thought was feeding time but it didn't happen and there wasn't anyone else there so maybe we were mistaken! There's a viewing platform so you can see them at their height and they're quite inquisitive so if they do venture out of their house (the weather meant we caught them at the right time) they do come right up to the platform. I'm not quite sure Ruby knew what to make of these strange animals but she seemed to like it.
When Ruby was tired we put her in the buggy and took her to the butterfly enclosure which was a big hit! I'm not normally enamoured by nature too much but this turned out to be one of my favourite places - they're just so beautiful and delicate!
One disappointment was that you're not allowed to take buggies into the monkey enclosure because the monkeys roam free and will jump on them which can be frightening for the children. I understand the reasoning but we had literally just put Ruby in the buggy in the hope that she might sleep so we gave that part a miss (you can take your child out and leave the buggy outside, you'd just have to go back on yourself to fetch it!). We also would have liked to have seen some lions but they're on holiday until 2016 because their enclosure is being re-built.
All in all, it was a fantastic day, despite the weather being changeable and being caught in a massive hail storm (there's enough indoor stuff to make it ok, but it probably wouldn't be enjoyable if it rained constantly). We left with a toy penguin from the gift shop to remind us of our fun, it was about £6 which I think is pretty decent.
I can only apologise for the lack of photographs, however, we were just too busy having fun!

The Stats
Transport: 15 minute walk from Camden Town station (Northern Line).
Cost: Standard adult tickets are £24.30 at the gate without a donation, but you can save 10% by booking online in advance. If, however, you're travelling by National Rail on the day then be sure to take advantage of this 2for1 offer. I do, however think that it's well worth the full price. Under threes go free and children are £17.10.
Time: This is a full day trip if you want it to be. There's plenty to see and do and you can easily spend a good six hours or so walking round.
Food & Drink: We kept costs down by taking in a picnic lunch and eating it on a bench which was perfectly fine. However, there is a brilliant canteen style restaurant with lots of different types of food on offer. It's big but not huge so I can imagine it gets pretty busy during peak time, but if you're lucky to catch it on a quiet moment then it's a lovely place to sit and eat. We did buy lattes from one of the kiosks which are dotted about the place - they do serve soya milk (a must!) and they were reasonably priced (£2.80 ish?).
Afterwards: If you want to head out for dinner after your trip then there's plenty of bars and restaurants up Camden way, including your family favourites like Nandos. Alternatively head down to the West End - a short bus or tube ride away where there's plenty of places to eat on offer.

Healthcare "Non-System" in Need of Major Change
December 8, 2009
Rebecca Matteo, a lecturer in sociology at Wake Forest University, teachers the first-year seminar "Health Care Reform: A Sociological View of America's 'Non-System.'" From preventive health to cost containment, the class explores the fragmented landscape of health care reform from the sociological perspective. Here Matteo shares her views on the most important issues in health care reform today.
By Rebecca Matteo
As I tell my students, I think one of the biggest "issues" in health care reform currently, is the lack of understanding we, as a country, have about the "health care system" itself. I am excited to hear my students talk about conversations they have with family and friends outside of class related to health care reform. Their eyes are open … and they feel confident to have an opinion that they can both articulate and defend. What I believe is that our system is not truly a "system." We currently lack centralization, regulation, communication, and organization in the way health care is provided, which is not to say that a socialized system is necessary. But, there are so many gaps in our current fragmented medical complex that the "where to begin" question is overwhelming. I am reminded of this at the start of the semester, when I realize that there are never enough weeks in the semester to consider every relevant topic.
In terms of health care reform in general, I believe that our "non-system" is in need of major change. Compromise is inherent in sweeping policy, but I do agree with the specific focus of removing pre-existing condition clauses from insurance plans, and greater coverage of Americans in general, without losing options (or choice) in coverage. Furthermore, continuity of care is something I personally believe will improve our system, but this requires access and availability of both insurance and general practitioners (potentially facilitated through electronic medical records). In an era marked with the proliferation of chronic disease management and increasingly expensive, yet beneficial, health technology, there must be an effort to support preventive health, both through individual and system-level changes, rather than continued "reactive" and "defensive" medicine, which ultimately lead to wasted time and money.
Within the long history of attempts to provide major reform to the health care system in the United States, I feel that President Obama has forced conversation to an unprecedented level. Creating a dialogue and making decisions transparent are critical ways to help alleviate fears of government control that are pervasive in our society. Sadly, as medicine developed into "big business," market ideals became entangled with the altruism of the profession. We all suffer for that trend – as the collective interests of health care are now intertwined in a web of fear about life-threatening chronic illness, medical bills, losing insurance, malpractice – on and on. What we do know, is that Americans are very diverse in both their opinions about what is best for the health care system and their own individual health care needs. Whether reform is based upon cost containment, health outcomes assessments, or the satisfaction of patients and health care workers, what we need most is a level of security and consistency for health care providers and their patients.

text: BUSINESS Dialogue: Jerome Paillard 5:00 AM PDT 5/8/2007 by Stephen Galloway , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME The market's executive director on emerging territories and the power of the Internet. The Hollywood Reporter: The Berlin International Film Festival market was a bit of a disappointment. How has that affected you?Jerome Paillard: At Berlin, many companies were telling us they had a lot of new titles for (the Festival de Cannes), and the indication we have today in terms of titles presented and screenings requested is very, very high -- even higher than last year. As of today, we have more than 4,000 titles registered in the lineup -- about 10% more than last year -- with more than 60% of titles debuting, which means there are more than 2,300 new titles. What we call a new title is one that has never been introduced in Berlin, (the American Film Market) or (the Toronto International Film Festival), and we can track that with our database, Cinando (formerly Cannesmarket.com). Now that we are tracking Toronto, AFM, Berlin and Cannes, we are able to have a very in-depth view of where the titles are being announced, so it is very easy for us to know if it is a new title, not just a seller who pretends! Obviously, we are getting the most titles by far (of the markets). AFM and Berlin are more or less at the same level, but not the same kind of titles: For European titles, Berlin is much better; for American and Latin American and genre films, AFM is the best.THR: Is Latin America playing a bigger role in the markets than in years past?Paillard: That is the region where we are seeing the biggest increase: Latin America is 33% more (in terms of attendance) than last year and with some very interesting countries -- Chile, Colombia and Peru all have much more people coming. Those countries are now transitioning into film production, and they have some government support in their countries. Colombia is building a new governmental support (system) for their producers, and Mexico is also working on a new law to support local domestic production. What happened in Eastern Europe two or three years ago is happening there, where most of the governments created some kind of film agencies to support production.THR: What will they find new in Cannes this year?Paillard: In the Palais (des Festivals), we have a new floor called the (Rotonde) Lerins, the first floor of the Riviera building. This new floor will have about 20 sales companies and four theaters. That is an additional 2,000 square meters (21,500 square feet). And we are refurbishing many of the theaters, so we will have eight of our 30 theaters refurbished, and two digital cinemas. We continue to (develop) the Producers Network, a program for producers where a maximum of 500 can meet every morning for breakfast with investors and other producers. This will be the fourth year. We also organize the Short Film Corner, and we have a huge increase this year; we have more than 1,600 films -- almost double last year's 900. In many countries, we have established partnerships with local agencies to help the filmmakers afford to come to Cannes. THR: What single factor do you think will most directly impact the market in the next few years?Paillard: The Internet. We can imagine ultimately that for some small-budget films, they may be tempted to do worldwide distribution by themselves -- because now, from home you can organize it using VOD and viral marketing. But I am talking only about low-budget films, not the rest. But there are so many questions about the new Internet opportunities. All those things are questionable, not only because of piracy but because the economic models are not clear.

The Dow Jones industrials passed 13,300 for the first time and had yet another record close.The move by Alcoa, one of the 30 stocks that make up the Dow, gave much of the market a lift Monday as investors often regard merger and acquisition activity as a bullish bet by companies on corporate profit. A pullback in Yahoo Inc. depressed tech shares.With little earnings and economic data to go on, investors will be awaiting further signals to try to determine where stocks might be headed and whether Wall Street's record rally will continue. Investors will also be awaiting the Federal Reserve's decision Wednesday on interest rates.Monday afternoon, the Fed reported that consumers boosted their borrowing in March at the fastest pace in four months. The report showed that consumer credit increased at a brisk annual rate of 6.7% in March."We're kind of waiting for macroeconomic news to shape the outlook for the rest of the year," said Les Satlow, portfolio manager at Cabot Money Management. "I do believe the market will spend some time here trying to catch its breath or even pull back a bit. We need more macroeconomic clarity as to second half of 2007 and the direction the Fed."According to preliminary calculations, the Dow industrials rose 48.35, or 0.36%, to 13,312.97.

Civil Litigation Expenses
Engaging in civil litigation can be expensive. If those expenses exceed your resources, a civil lawsuit can lead to bankruptcy. Although the costs of a typical civil lawsuit rarely exceeds $10,000, this may break the bank for many. Factors that may contribute to more expensive litigation include fees for an attorney's time, complexity of the litigation, expert witness or medical records fees, and whether the litigants have economic motivation to drive up the expense of the lawsuit. Complex business litigation between major companies can cost in the millions of dollars. Even if you prevail in a lawsuit, the attorney's fees and costs of litigation can significantly reduce the judgment amount.
Forced Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy is usually a choice made by a debtor, but often the debtor's hand is forced when a creditor files a lawsuit or obtains a civil judgment the debtor cannot pay. In such cases, the debtor may file voluntary bankruptcy if he feels there is no choice but to do so. If you are faced with a large civil judgment or other debts and refuse to file voluntary bankruptcy, your creditors can, in some circumstances, compel you into involuntary bankruptcy. If you have less than twelve creditors, a single creditor -- such as a civil litigation judgment holder -- with a claim exceeding the statutorily-set threshold amount can file an involuntary bankruptcy petition.
Minimizing Risk
You can help minimize your risk of incurring negative impacts from civil litigation by carefully structuring your business to reduce liability. Operating as an LLC rather than sole proprietor can help limit contractual liability and other common business risks. Incorporating and securing appropriate business insurance provides even greater protection against personal liability than an LLC. Vigilance in accounting as well as in hiring, supervision and workplace safety practices can also help minimize the risk of expensive civil litigation that can bankrupt you and your business.
Importance of Pre-Planning
Pre-planning is critical to minimizing the potential for civil litigation leading to bankruptcy. Asset protection strategies must be in place prior to any litigation or legal collection action being instigated, or you risk accusations of fraudulent transfer. Conveying assets to another person or another business entity so that it becomes inaccessible to a creditor or legal opponent, especially if the transfer is made for less than the fair market value of the asset, can be considered fraudulent, and a court can order you to rescind the transaction.

LA Rams acknowledge holdout DL Aaron Donald will miss opener
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Holdout All-Pro defensive lineman Aaron Donald has been officially ruled out of the Los Angeles Rams' season opener.
Rams coach Sean McVay finally confirmed the obvious Friday while Donald's teammates finished up their preparations for the Indianapolis Colts' visit to the Coliseum on Sunday.
"With him missing the week of preparation, we're still trying to find a way to come to a solution, but it's safe to say that he won't be a part of this game," McVay said.
Donald has stayed away from the Rams since offseason team activities in May, demanding a new contract after three standout NFL seasons. The team has described talks with Donald as civil and constructive for several months, but the sides clearly aren't close to a compromise — and now the holdout begins to take a measurable toll on the Rams.
Donald, who was still at home in Pittsburgh recently, will start missing game checks Sunday.
"It's disappointing that he's not here for whatever the reasons are, but I've been through it before, too," said Wade Phillips, the Rams' first-year defensive coordinator. "You've got to play with the guys you have. We believe that we can play well, and that's what we're going to try to do. So, wishing and hoping and all that stuff."
With two years left on his rookie contract, Donald is believed to be seeking a deal to make him the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL. The disruptive defensive tackle is a three-time Pro Bowl selection with 28 sacks and a reputation as one of the league's most effective players at any position.
But Donald is due to make just $1.8 million this season and roughly $6.9 million in 2018 under the terms of his rookie deal. The Rams agree he is worth far more, but they haven't been able to agree on a number with Donald's representatives, even after team officials traveled to Atlanta last week for a face-to-face meeting.
Tanzel Smart, a rookie sixth-round pick out of Tulane, is expected to start in Donald's place Sunday against the Colts. McVay praises Smart's versatility and intelligence, but nobody can replicate Donald's space-moving presence in the line for the Rams, who have had an above-average defense ever since drafting Donald in the first round out of Pitt in 2014.
"Just looking at the interior of our defensive line, I think we've had a chance to develop some good depth (in Donald's absence)," McVay said.
Phillips has been looking forward to maximizing Donald's strengths in the Rams' new 3-4 defense, but hasn't had the chance. He has coached the likes of Reggie White, Bruce Smith, J.J. Watt and many other superstar defensive linemen during his lengthy career.
Phillips doesn't think Donald will require much preparation time to be ready to play when his holdout finally ends.
"If you've got a guy like Aaron Donald, you tell him, 'Take off and beat the guy real quick,'" Phillips said. "So we just adjust with our personnel and let them do what they do well."

Back To School Prep: Hot Dots JR Pete The Cat
I'm always looking for ways to prepare JustaBXgirl for school. I feel like I've been preparing her since she could hold a crayon. Maybe that's why she rarely goes out of the line when coloring. Even still, with this being her first time going to a formal school setting I've been a bit nervous. What if my baby is behind all of the littles that have been going to daycare and having daily lessons since two?
I don't worry about if JustaBXgirl is intelligent. This child can teach lessons on sea life, jungle animals and toy brands. She knows about a variety of subjects but still has trouble picking up some of the basics. One recent way I've been trying to help her prep for when she goes to school next month is with Hot Dots Jr Pete The Cat Kindergarten Rocks! Set. Now, I didn't know JustaBXgirl knew who Pete The Cat was when we got this set but she was already familiar with the character. I know my godson was obsessed with him a few years ago.
I had seen Hots Dots in action before but hadn't gotten to play with them myself. I can share we will be getting more. The one set we have is Kindergarten designed for children age 5 – 6. JustaBXgirl is 4 and entering Pre-K so she couldn't do it completely independently which is fine because I like her equating work time to mommy time a little as it makes her enjoy it more. I read the problems and she (and Pete) solve them.
I like how easy it is for the little to tell if they got the answer correct or not. Pete's eyes light up. An added bonus to me is that littles have to really pay attention to where they touch the Pete Pen to on the book. If you do not mark the correct dot specifically it cannot tell that you are in the general vicinity of the correct answer. I think this is an added bonus and helps with hand eye coordination.
We took this learning tool with us on two recent trips and an overnight visit to Abuela's house. JustaBXgirl feels like a big girl when she packs her "homework" or shows us how much she knows. I also adore that the Pete The Cat pen works with other Hot Dots books. We will be getting others to keep complementing the school lessons. Hopefully, JustaBXgirl won't realize that she's doing extra school work.

Learning definitely just doesn't take place in school. It starts at home. I love how you are preparing JustaBXGirl and her teachers for success in learning!
Pete the Cat is awesome and definitely a new favorite at our house. You are not alone at wondering if they are prepared. I found myself wondering how he would know how to get to the cafeteria for lunch or that he has to raise his hand and ask to use the restroom.
Pete the Cat is the best. The Kid is still obsessed with him. I think this is great way to prepare. Also it looks like a way to improve Fine motor skills for children. I will be sharing this post and information with the Occupational Therapists in the Kid's school
We love Pete the Cat he is a cool cat. I think this is important learning at home and at school. Wonderful job she is gonna be ready ready to go once school starts.

Good Morning! Happy Wednesday!
I'm super excited this morning because I'm finally getting around to sharing with all of you something I've been trying out myself for the last couple of months; I guess you would call it a little bit of a "positivity challenge".
Each week, for the past several weeks, I come up with just one positive task I can do each day of that week to make my week better, more productive and all around a happier experience.
So far, the weeks in which I have stuck to my pre-determined schedule, I can say for a fact have been better weeks than those in which I have missed days or…ignored it completely! 🙁
I was telling a friend about this little adventure and she insisted that I should be sharing it with others, and just like that a new blog series was born! This is extra exciting because I will have something to bring to the blog at least once a week – and since one of my resolutions for the year was to blog more (which I've been failing at miserably)…this is the perfect solution!!
Here's how it works: every week stop by here and check out the schedule for the following week (Monday-Sunday). Pin the image or save it to your phone and use it as a guide to write down in your planner, journal or add to you calendar digitally. Each day will have a theme and each theme will have a suggested task but feel free to insert a task more applicable for you! Perform the task each day – if you're a social media addict like me and want to capture it then pretty please tag me @loveblisscoffee or #loveblisspositivity…you can also follow my week of tasks in my Instagram story if you'd like!
A few things I want to point out that I have learned since starting this:
- Keep the tasks for each day simple & quick. This is an opportunity to make yourself feel good not to set yourself up for failure. We are all busy and bogged down; adding an extensive task to your day won't help (i.e. "clean out and organize the entire pantry" instead, try "clean out and organize one shelf of the pantry)
- Try to make the tasks as fun as possible. (i.e. Organizing 30 pictures in your digital picture file is a little bit more fun than cleaning out/organizing your email inbox) These are tasks that are supposed to add some fun & accomplishment to your week or tasks you know you won't get to on your usual "chore days"…hopefully that makes sense.
- Get your family involved! Make it a quick bonding activity with your kids or significant other – if you can complete a task outside while the weather is beautiful…even better!
Check out the schedule below! We'll be starting on Monday October 1st! Can't wait to share this with all of you! x,Hayley

Yes, He does. In the most mysterious ways. I was in dire need of a push. I needed someone to tell me I wasn't hitting a plateau, because it sure felt like it.
I had an entire weekend planned out. Go to work, watch some shows, catch up with friends, and be absolutely distracted. "Nope", the universe said, "You're not doing that."
Oddly enough, God wanted me to sit my ass down and just LISTEN for once. How do you get me to cancel all my plans? Cue in the stomach flu. I spent the last few days at home stuck in bed with only my thoughts and an aching stomach to listen to. Of course, I had about a thousand things spiraling through my head at once – mostly negative things. I found myself questioning my priorities, my choices, my talent, and my passions.
Fast forward a little bit. After laying in bed contemplating life and binge-watching Queer Eye on Netflix for a day, I finally had some energy to get stuff done. I ended up having to make a quick trip to church to pick up a music book.
As I walk into the church, I notice it's empty. My body all of a sudden gravitates to one of the pews and says, "SIT DOWN." And in that moment something happened. I needed to pray. I needed to actually talk to God about what's been going on in my head. I pick up one of the books in the pews and turn the page to that day's gospel reading and reflection. The irony had me sitting there with chills.
So God, you gave me this far-from-delightful stomach virus to have my weekend revolve around this very moment? I was amazed. Everything I needed to hear all weekend was on that one page. Had I gone one day before, or two days before to pick up that book I would have missed this entire moment.
In the end I didn't need someone to reassure me that I wasn't a talentless human being – that was just me having low self-esteem and not believing in myself. I needed someone to tell me to "brush off" the resentment, regrets, and negativity that I have for myself. I needed to remember to trust in Jesus' timing, not my own.
I promise I'm not contagious anymore an I don't have the plague. Hugs are much needed. I'll see you around.
