In the re-election of 1996, Bill Clinton realized that it was "the economy, stupid" that held the secret to his success. For Barack Obama in 2012, that will still be the reelection mantra. But there are several other key reasons that will also be important in Democratic reelection success.
Obama won in 2008 because he offered hope and change packaged with a refreshing sense of intelligence after eight years of Bush. He benefited from his charisma and speaking ability, as well as a disastrous economy. A black political savior was unique in American politics at a time when something different was needed. He needs to show that the hope entrusted to him has come to fruition.
First, Obama must show that the economy has indeed improved, or at least is improving significantly for a majority of Americans. He promised he would fix the economy during his first election campaign. Is he hasn't by 2012, he will be exactly what he predicted he could be if he failed—a one-term president.
Second, the hope and promise of change for a better America has to endure. But hope and expectation always look better as ideals than in the harsh light of reality. Some of the luster of Obama's first campaign could well be gone by 2012. Certain commentators have speculated that the race card will no longer be working in Obama's favor for the next election. Also, his racial benefit could be diminished if Republicans are able to nominate a minority candidate. And our nation's undercurrent of racism could resurface in an environment of disappointment. If the economy is still waning and hope is gone, so is Obama.
Third, average Americans are getting tired of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They finally want to see some progress in putting an end to our commitment in Iraq and an end in sight for Afghanistan. If either war is still escalating by 2012, that will be a political liability for the Democrats. However, this could be the least important of the three issues since the Republicans will most likely be hawkish on the wars from a national security standpoint.
But ultimately, it comes down to paraphrasing the late Democrat House Majority Whip Tip O'Neill: all politics are local, and all local politics are about your pocketbook.

Sprint All Together Now
Sprint is introducing a new tagline, "All. Together. Now", celebrating the growing importance of what people are doing on their mobile devices, talking, texting, emailing, posting videos, tweeting and updating their Facebook pages. Sprint is telling customers there's nothing stopping them, because they can be unlimited with the Sprint Simply Everything® data plan. The campaign is multifaceted across TV, print, online and social-media channels such as Facebook.
An ad for TV introduces the campaign to a national audience tonight in primetime. In the ad a series of images are shown in rapid succession of people sending email, logging onto Facebook, sending notes and pictures, posting videos, finding information online and others engaged in video chat as music featuring the All. Together. Now. tagline is played along with a voiceover that says, "Unlimited is good. And thanks to Sprint you can talk, text, and post as much as you want, for no extra cost. So go ahead world, unlimit yourself." The song used in the ad, and variations of it that will be used in other elements of the campaign, was originally performed by the Beatles.
Click on the image below to play the video.
Additional TV commercials will be introduced during the next several months as the campaign progresses in which Sprint encourages the audience to call, text or email real people, not actors, who will be prominently featured along with their phone number and email address. In addition to TV, online banner ads for the campaign feature a woman named Veatrice Henson, a Missouri resident who turns 100 in 2011. The ad encourages viewers to reach out to her directly to wish her a happy 100th birthday saying, "Let's wish Veatrice a happy 100th, again and again," along with a window that provides users her actual phone number and email address so they can call, text or email her. It includes the phrase, "If you're truly unlimited, you can text, email and call all you want." Of course, Sprint will help Veatrice respond to many of her messages. A campaign landing page, sprint.com/alltogethernow, features a prominent photo of Veatrice, the headline "Let's wish Veatrice a happy 100th, again and again," and includes a bar graph showing the actual number of emails, texts and calls to Veatrice. The graph will be updated continually throughout the campaign. Links to additional video and other "Random Acts of TogethernessTM" are also featured on the site along with other unique items for people to share such as "sad potato" or "slo-mo chipmunk."
The unlimited message is carried in a print ad that features the HTC EVO ShiftTM 4G and the headline, "Get true unlimited text, Web and calling. No overages, no metering, no worries.

Things I Missed While Abroad
I recently returned from my semester abroad in London. I'm now back in good old Columbus, Ohio. Being back home has made me appreciate things I never thought I would appreciate. While in London, I found myself missing certain things beyond the obvious ones of friends, family, and my own bed. I now savor every […]More

Eric Sobie va muy rápido, el cambio entre diapositivas no tiene una pausa y continua de corrido, es por ello que en algunas ocasiones repetía o erraba la idea que continuaba.

An opposition rally in Moscow gathered 33,000 participants, while a pro-government event elsewhere in the city was attended by 150,000, city police said at 2 p.m. Saturday.
However, organizers of the anti-Putin rally say over a 160,000 attended. Participants gathered at Kaluzhskaya Ploshchad for a 1.5-kilometer march to Bolotnaya Ploshchad to protest alleged electoral violations and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's expected return to presidency.
Live video feed from Bolotnaya Ploshchad indicated attendance could have been considerably higher than police estimates, which were considerably lower than those of organizers and independent observers during two previous opposition rallies in December.
Among the crowd are presidential candidate Mikhail Prokhorov and former finance minister and Putin's longtime friend Alexei Kudrin. Both said earlier they do not plan to speak at the rally.
A rally in support of Putin is taking place on Poklonnaya Gora. Numerous media and blog reports said many of its participants were state employees who were forced to attend, though authorities denied all these allegations.

Benzinga's M&A Chatter for Tuesday November 20, 2012
The following are the M&A deals, rumors and chatter circulating on Wall Street for Tuesday November 20, 2012:
Xstrata Shareholders Approve Glencore Deal
The Deal:
At shareholder meetings held Tuesday in Zug, Switzerland, Xstrata's (OTC: XSRAF) shareholders other than the Glencore Group (OTC: GLCNF) approved the proposed all-share merger of Xstrata plc and Glencore International plc, subject to the resolution to approve the Revised Management Incentive Arrangements to be put to the Further Xstrata General Meeting not being passed. This resolution was subsequently not passed. Consequently, the merger will proceed, subject to outstanding regulatory approvals and UK Court approval, but the Revised Management Incentive Arrangements will not be put in place to retain key Xstrata operational and functional management.
Xstrata closed at $15.64 Tuesday, a gain of 2.22% on average volume.
News Corp to Buy 49% of Yes Network
The Deal:
News Corporation (NASDAQ: NWS) (NASDAQ: NWSA) and Yankee Global Enterprises announced Tuesday an agreement that calls for News Corporation to acquire a 49 percent equity stake in the Yankees Entertainment and Sports Network. The YES Network delivers exclusive live local television coverage of New York Yankees baseball and Brooklyn Nets basketball, as well as other leading local and national sports-related programming. The YES Network also announced a media rights agreement that will keep Yankees baseball on the YES Network through 2042.
The deal reportedly values YES at $3 billion.
News Corp closed at $48.66 Tuesday, a gain of almost 8% on more than 3 times average volume.
MEMSIC Announces Receipt of Unsolicited $4/Share Non-Binding Proposal
The Offer:
MEMSIC (NASDAQ: MEMS) announced Tuesday that its Board of Directors has received an unsolicited, non-binding proposal from IDG-Accel China Growth Fund II L.P., for itself and on behalf of its affiliated funds and certain nominees (collectively, "IDG"), to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of MEMSIC not currently owned by IDG or its affiliates for cash in the amount of $4.00 per share.
In response to the proposal, the Company's Board of Directors has established a Special Committee of the Board comprised of its three independent directors. The Special Committee has engaged RBC Capital Markets, LLC as its financial advisor to assist it in evaluating this proposal and all other strategic alternatives, and will consider the IDG proposal and related matters carefully in due course, consistent with the Board's fiduciary duties to act in the best interest of stockholders.
MEMSIC closed at $1.74 Tuesday and traded around $3 after-hours
MIPS Technologies Announces Receipt of Unsolicited $75M Proposal From CEVA
The Offer:
MIPS Technologies (NASDAQ: MIPS) announced Tuesday that it has received an unsolicited proposal from CEVA (NASDAQ: CEVA) to acquire all of the outstanding MIPS shares, following the consummation of the proposed patent sale transaction with Bridge Crossing, LLC and the proposed recapitalization, for $75 million (U.S.) in cash.
CEVA's proposal is subject to the approval of its board of directors and a brief period of confirmatory due diligence.
The MIPS Board of Directors continues to recommend the merger agreement with Imagination Technologies to its stockholders. The MIPS Board of Directors is not withdrawing its recommendation with respect to the merger agreement and the merger, or proposing to do so, and is not making any recommendation with respect to the CEVA proposal.
MIPS Technologies closed at $7.04 Tuesday and traded at $7.40 after-hours.
Energy Recovery Comments on Acquisition Rumors
The Rumor:
On November 19, 2012, Chief Executive Officer Tom Rooney provided an interview to a representative of Bloomberg News. A wire story published subsequent to the interview incorrectly reported that Energy Recovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: ERII) is the subject of takeover interest. While the Company, as a matter of policy, does not comment on rumors, it feels compelled to correct the facts as reflected in the Bloomberg story. During the course of a telephone interview about the desalination industry in Chile and the global demand for water, Mr. Rooney acknowledged the increasing attractiveness of the business in response to a specific question regarding the Company as a potential acquisition candidate. Mr. Rooney did not imply, or intend to imply, that the Company was in discussions with potential buyers. In fact, Mr. Rooney stated that the Company has no interest in entertaining the notion of a potential acquisition at this time. Importantly, the Company remains intensely focused on the tenacious execution of its long-term strategy, the successful implementation of which should provide the greater benefit to its shareholders.
Energy Recovery closed at $2.87 Tuesday, a gain of 10.81% on 3 times average volume.
Short-Seller Report Puts Tevana-Starbucks Deal in Jeopardy
The Short-Seller Report:
Teavana (NYSE: TEA) shares fell Tuesday following release of a report by short-seller Glaucus Research Group that said there was pesticide in the company's teas.
Glaucus is short Teavana and would benefit on any news that would hurt Teavana stock.
Teavana issued the following statement in response to the Glaucus report: "Teavana's teas undergo rigorous third-party testing on each batch of teas based on international food safety standards including European Union regulations, which are widely considered to be the most stringent in the world."
Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), who agreed to acquire Teavana on November 14 for $620 million, said it was assessing the Glaucus report on Teavana for "accuracy or inaccuracy."
Teavana closed at $14.74 Tuesday, a loss of 4.47% on 30 times average volume.

Born Free's co-founder and actress Virginia McKenna OBE, said: "I can't tell you how thrilled I am to announce the launch of 'Children & Wildlife in Harmony.' This glorious project brings together three of my greatest passions – classical music, and the well-being of wild animals and children. I do hope you will join us for this very special evening."
Karan added: "Playing Chopin 24 Etudes in Cadogan Hall, one of London's most elegant venues, for such an exclusive recital is an astounding feat for any pianist. More importantly, I am truly delighted to be part of an event that is raising funds for the admirable work of two unique charities, supporting, at the same time, wildlife and children in need around the world."
The Greek-born musician has performed in some of the world's top venues, including Carnegie Hall in New York, Boston Symphony Hall and Tokyo Suntory Hall.

Tickets are available now from £15 at the Cadogan Hall website. An exclusive £75 ticket package includes a private pre-concert reception and the opportunity to meet Panos Karan and Will Travers.

Walking With Intention Day 4 by Karuna Poole
Living With Purpose
by Karuna Poole of Living, Learning and Letting Go
In the early to mid-90's, I created a personal mission statement based on a process I learned in Stephen Covey's book First Things First. When I finished the mission statement, I hung it on a wall in my house. I glance at it from time to time, and when I do I always feel amazed. That document is as true today as it was on the day I wrote it. There is no doubt in my mind that these have been the guiding principles of my life and are evidence that I have walked this life with intention.
Karuna's Mission Statement
In this lifetime I will strive to be in integrity in each moment. I will live as simply as possible, so that I may experience an abundance of time, space, money and other resources.
I will be watchful and take advantage of the opportunities that I am given so that I learn what I need to learn and do what I need to do. I will trust that as long as I stay active in this process, my needs will be provided for.
I will let go and trust that the lessons I am given are for my own good. I will welcome each lesson that comes, asking for the support I need to maintain this life position.
I will do what I need to do to open the pathways to my true self. I will follow the instructions given by my inner voice. I will use my relationship with Amma to enhance this process and to help me realize my full potential.
I will support my children in becoming skillful, happy adults who are capable of achieving the goals they set for themselves. I will provide them with a wide variety of living experiences.
I will be a role model of healthy living, teaching others the lessons as I learn them. I will support others in a way that helps them to achieve their visions and grow to their full potential.
While I know that the words of the mission statement I wrote in the 90's will continue to reflect the guiding principles for my life, it occurred to me while I was planning this post that it would be helpful for me to create intentions that are specifically focused on the last part of my life; intentions that would be relevant whether I die years from now, or in decades.
While my life has long been focused on service, and I expect service will remain an important aspect of my life until it is no longer possible for me to do so, I recognize that I need to adjust its place in my life priorities. During my latter years:
• I will take on the role of elder, being available to advise when asked, but keeping my tendency of volunteering to lead activities in check.
• I will give spiritual practices a high and ever increasing priority. These includes activities such as attending satsang, devotional singing, meditation, mantra, yoga and chanting. [I was intrigued by the fact that I included meditation and yoga in this section since I have actively avoided both of those activities. It seemed right to put them into this document, so I did.]
• I will maintain an independent life style as long as I can, but I will ask for and accept help when I need it. While being independent is a desire of mine, I also recognize it may not be in my best interest forever.
• I will stay engaged with current friends and be open to making new ones.
• I will keep my body healthy by exercising (e.g. Pilates, walking), eating nutritious food, taking my medications and supplements and getting adequate rest. I will minimize the amount of stress in my life.
• I will keep my mind active and alert by blogging, learning Sanskrit, and by using the Lumosity brain training program.
• I will accept the fact that my body is aging. I will stay active but I will not exhaust myself. I will learn how to deal with the discomforts that come with the aging process.
• I will reengage with some of the activities that I enjoyed in the past but let go of because of adult responsibilities or shifting interests (e.g. sewing, gardening, knitting, crocheting, quilting, weaving, etc.)
• I will remain open to discovering new interests.
• I will let go of my "plans" in favor of Spirit directed activities, meaning if I sense that I am being called to take a new direction I will.
I always enjoy watching the process of living, watching lessons come and go. As I was coming to the close of writing this post, it occurred to me that I was actually in the middle of a lesson on walking with intention. For the last week and a half I have been having back pain. I could tell that I had blockages of some kind in my neck, my upper back, my mid back and my lower back. It has been painful for me to sit and to stand so I've been lying down a lot. For the first week, I felt a very unpleasant sense of electricity in my neck and in the area between my elbows and half way up my arms whenever I stood up. I discovered I could reduce it if I stood up slowly and took time to breathe as I adjusted to the change of position.
The problem with doing that is that I always get up quickly, whether it be first thing in the morning or during the day. Over the last year or two, I have had the thought many times that I need to stop jumping up so fast, especially in the morning, since it could be dangerous later in my life when my legs aren't as stable. I have steep stairs coming from my bedroom and even now it is important that I am grounded when I walk down them. Even though I've had that awareness, I tend to still pop up without thinking about it. I know the value of walking with intention however, both metaphorically and in this case literally, so I commit to learning to slow down when I stand up.
Thank you Sreejit for inviting me to participate in The Seeker's Dungeon Walking with Intention project. This has been a very valuable reflection for me and hope reading my words is of value to others.
Karuna Poole is a psychotherapist in private practice in Seattle, Washington. She is author of Getting to Joy and Letting Go of Suffering. You can find more information about her at KarunaPoole.com or on her blog Living Learning and Letting Go

How this came to be was purely due to my own greediness in wanting to have a "Bloody Blogroll" which had every horror blog in existence on it (at least those with Google Friend Connect anyway). I'd actually beaten the system and the alleged 300 followed blogs limit several times over, but at 1103 it just stopped working.
Yes, 1103 was my following limit... and things were about to get worse than that. I couldn't even log back into the Dashboard interface without a ten minute wait. Clearly something needed to be done so I went to the Google Friend Connect box, logged in, and clicked on the "Sites you've joined" link.
It was at this point that I should have known better, but I started deleting the blogs, slowly, one at a time, and with over 2000 mouseclicks plus the pop-up window jumping all over the screen (due to the ridiculous length of some people's blog names), I cleared the lot in around three hours.
Of course, what I only discovered half-way through was that the little red avatar of my Paintshopped (not photoshopped) fizzog was disappearing from everybody else's Google Friend Connect gadget. Thus, if you are reading this after wondering why your followers' number dropped by one last night, now you know the reason why.
Fortunately, "The Bloody Blogroll" remained intact so I can still use it to go round and rejoin everybody's blogs again at my leisure. I expect a lot of people will just unfollow me now though. Such are the egos in the horror blogosphere.
Anyway, that's what happened.

When I was a little girl
I learned a world
I'd have to say for the rest
of my life.
Sorry, for wanting to be more
than a daughter, a mother, sister and wife
Sorry for not having a penis
and having breasts instead
Sorry for demanding to be in places
which did not lead to a man's bed
Bitch, slut, whore are what I become,
Should I wear my skirt above my knee
And then they tell me
Feminism is unnecessary
All the numbers in the world
Show that the equality has a dent
A man makes a dollar,
a woman, 77 cents
A woman can work as much as a man
Still not get equally paid
When she rises to the top, all they say
She must have gone back down on him
She must have gotten laid
Stand up for what I want
And I become assertive and bossy
Even then, they tell me
Feminism is unnecessary
Clutch your heart and tell me, folks
if there's even one day that's gone
Without the news channels telling a story
a woman who hasn't been wronged
Abused, murdered, raped and burnt
Openly stripped on the streets.
Feminism isn't just women, helping women
We need the men here too, you see
Your sisters, mothers, daughters, wives are in danger
Its time you stepped up, and expressed your anger
The day we can gift our daughters and granddaughters
The gift of equality
That day, you can tell me
Feminism is unnecessary

A Braised Chicken Leg a Day...
Posted by Victoria at 6:01 PM
Could keep me quite satisfied for a lengthy period of time, I think! Today in Traditional European Cuisine we finally started cooking! We ran out of time toward the end of class and needed to push the Rice Pilaf and Pork Stew onto tomorrow's menu, but the chicken legs were braised and tasted, and they were quite amazing. Braising is such an easy process without a whole lot of hands-on work required. It's made in a single pot, from stove to oven and then into your dish it goes! We could use whatever seasonings we wanted for our sauce, and my group opted to use some sage, which worked nicely and compliments poultry really well. I also got to use a chinois mousseline, which is a fancy strainer. I'm so getting one someday, haha. And check out the sauce in the picture above! Don't you just want to bathe in it? That chicken is so lucky!
Also today we made something called a cartouche, which is basically a circle of parchment paper to cover whatever is being braised in the pot before a cover is placed on it to go in the oven. It helps keep all the moisture close to the meat to help it tenderize better as it cooks. We used a simple technique of folding parchment into a square, rolling it until it looks almost like a quill and then just tearing it by hand to the radius size of our pot, unfolding and voila, it's an almost perfect circle with no scissors required!
I love fancy words that mean simple things. Here's another installment of Victoria's Word of the Day...
Singer (son-jay): to dust a pan with flour to absorb the fat (as in making a roux!)
Man, the French sure come up with cool words for random things :)
Today, I also started my Introduction to Nutrition class. As many of you may already know, I love bread, butter, cheese, pasta, and chocolate. None of these things really fall into the world of nutritious cooking. I choose happiness on my palate as opposed to a really teeny waist line, so sue me. It just tastes so good! One of our projects requires us to keep track of everything we ingest for four days and then use a computer program to determine our nutritional intake for those days, note what we're getting too much of, not enough of, etc. In theory I think this will be pretty cool to discover problems with my eating habits so maybe I can fix them... but in reality, it will probably make me feel pretty bad about myself, haha. I promptly went to the gym after class :-/
All in all, another great day livin' the dream. Stay tuned...

The Kormacit area is the perfect spot of ecotourism in Northern Cyprus. Situated between the beautiful Mediterranean See and the Besparmak mountains, it offers a wide range of ecotourism activities including turtle watching, botanical excursions combined with walking or biking tours, where specific local flora can be observed like orchids and tulips. The 700-year-old Kalkanli olives trees and the orange gardens are also popular spots for ecotourism fans, where they can combine agrotourism with delicious tastings of local products. The mini-farm offers a wide range of local domestic animals including donkeys, horses, goats, ducks, etc
Festivals and events 2016/2017
Turtle watching
The Akdeniz Beach near Kormacit is one of the few spots in Northern Cyprus, where turtles (including Caretta-Caretta) lay their eggs between July and August. It is a fascinating show for nature and ecotourism lovers!
Annual Tulip Festival in Tepebasi village. The Tulipa cypria is an endemic species that can only be found in the region around Kormacit and at some places in Karpaz and Akamas.
St. George is the patron of Kormacit village, so his name day is celebrated 2 days on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday evening there is a concert at the village square. Sunday is celebrated with a holy mass and folk dances.
Easter celebrations are very important for the village and start with a mass at Palm Sunday, a big bonfire on Saturday evening and a mass at Saturday Midnight. On Easter weekend Kormacit expects more than 2000 people, mostly from South Cyprus, to celebrate in the St. George Cathedral. On Easter Sundays or Mondays the Maronite archbishop from Nicosia is visiting the village.

Saturday night, Earl's Twitter feed revealed that the OF recruit's debut will be nothing like his past work.
Planned or unplanned, big news about Earls' first solo album was leaked via @earlxsweat's Tweet frenzy this past weekend. In case fans were wondering why he's not with the rest of Odd Future up in Europe right about now, the L.A. wolf is busy cooking up tracks with a variety of growing and immense artists. The tweeted list includes more expected OF members and friends like Tyler, The Creator, Domo Genesis, Vince Staples, and Casey Veggies but also promises contributions from Frank Ocean and Pharrell Williams.
The self-proclaimed ugliest member of OFWGKTADGAF did far more than compensate on his 2010 self-titled mixtape, marking himself as a full blooded lyricist in keeping with the OF reputation. But the rapper quipped on his feed that, "Everyone whose favorite song off EARL was epar or whatever might be pretty bummed." "Everyone with 666 or KTA or some sort of stupid hashtag like 'hey look im crazy' in their bio might be pretty bummed too." Apparently Earl just wants to make 'pretty music' now, which might mean saying goodbye to the alt cop-slaying narratives that have been his run-of-the-mill. The rapper expects to lose fans when he stops dropping about rape and murder, but the new deal with Columbia Records, paired with Earl's trigger-happy enthusiasm, just might speak for itself.

Last night, I downloaded some IOS features and White papers from Cisco website to read on the plane. Even though it was 7hours boring flight, I purposely didn't sleep just to make myself tired so that i could sleep early at night and wake up early in the morning. I reached to Sydney airport around 7pm in the evening, the weather was pretty chilling but, it's better than I expected.
I had a friend picking me up there so, I called him up and he's already at the airport. Ok. Everything cool, we hired a taxi and went to the hotel... Damn... The taxi meter was increasing like a second timer... and the bridge toll plus and airport surcharge, totally cost me 60$. But, later I realized that almost everything seems to be pretty expensive there... The hotel is Urban St.Leonards, just a few min walk to CISCO Lab.
I felt a bit hungry after I reached to the hotel. So, me and my friend took a walk to the nearest convenient store to get something to eat. We asked the receptionist for the direction and the nearest store is about 10 min walk. Actually, those stores turned out to be just around the Cisco Office. Cool... I don't have to worry about my breakfast for the exam morning.

Caring for your overall wellness is essential for preserving your quality of life. Unfortunately, it can be difficult for individuals to find the time and motivation to meet these needs. While attending wellness retreats can help with this, it is easy to allow misinformation to give you an incorrect understanding of these retreats.
Myth: A Wellness Retreat Only Involves Exercise
Individuals will often assume that a wellness retreat will primarily be focused on exercise. Why exercise and physical fitness are important aspects of wellness, there are other issues that should also be met. For example, diet can be important for keeping your healthy and happy. Yet, individuals are often extremely poorly informed about creating a healthy and tasty diet. Additionally, there are mental wellness factors that should also be met. As a result of these realities, most wellness retreats will incorporate a variety of educational resources along with physical conditioning.
Myth: It Is Inconvenient To Go On A Wellness Retreat
It can be common for individuals to assume that going on one of these retreats will essentially require them to use their vacation time. While it is true that there are retreats that last for up to a couple of weeks, there are also weekend wellness retreats that individuals can attend. These shorter weekend retreats can be an ideal way for individuals to ease into these retreats before they commit to attending one that will last much longer or be in an exotic location.
Myth: All Wellness Retreats Are Essentially The Same
It can be easy for individuals that are considering attending these retreats to simply assume that they will all be more or less the same. Yet, there can be major differences between these retreats. For example, each retreat will likely have its own focus or philosophy. Prior to booking your reservation with a particular wellness retreat, you will find it can be beneficial to thoroughly research the classes, activities and menu for the retreat along with the overall wellness philosophy of the organizing group. This information will be critical for allowing you to effectively compare the various wellness retreats that may be tempting to you.
If you are looking to start living a healthier lifestyle, attending a wellness retreat can be an important part of this process. These retreats can provide you with the information and experiences that you need to help you to live the healthiest lifestyle that you can. After you are aware of the truth behind fairly common myths, you will be a far better judge about whether you should attend these events.Share

As I've gotten older, I've found that my body is less able to tolerate spicy, greasy, and heavy foods. While I never used to struggle with heartburn, it's become a common occurrence. I spent a lot of time talking with my doctor and reading about all kinds of heartburn relief options. After trying a lot of different options, I finally found that there are a few things that work exceptionally well. I created this site to journal my experience with chronic heartburn and the treatment options that I've tried. I hope that it helps you if you're struggling with heartburn problems as well.

Morning Bulletin
- On a Monday that was made up of very little economic data, sterling struggled against its peers with many news outlets continuing to speculate on the content of PM Theresa May's scheduled speech on Brexit.
- GBP/EUR opened at 1.1440 before dropping down to a low of 1.1296 as traders reacted to the news over the weekend that PM May would set her priorities on Tuesday with remaining in the single market unlikely to be one of them.
- After the initial reaction, sterling recovered to close nearer to 1.1367.
- GBP/USD has recovered for the most part after opening nearly 200 points lower yesterday than it's Friday closing rate.
- We opened at 1.20 before gradually gaining some ground back to close at 1.2044.
- Industrial production in Japan for November came in at 4.6% y/y as expected.
- Japanese Economist Min Ishihara said that uncertainty in the global economy is highlighted by recent market movement.
- Today is all about Theresa May's speech at 11.45pm. PM May is expected to reveal 12 negotiating objectives.
- It is expected that she will reject any partial membership of the EU once the UK leaves.
- The PM will tell other European countries that the UK wants to trade with them as freely as possible but will not be "half-in, half-out" of the EU. (BBC News)
- Traders will be watching this speech closely and so far the government has revealed few details about what it wants to achieve from the Brexit talks so there is the potential for volatility in the markets around this time.
- In terms of data, we have UK CPI y/y 9.30am followed by German ZEW Sentiment at 10am from the Eurozone.
- After May's speech at 11.45am, we have Empire State Manufacturing Index data at 1.30pm before US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is interviewed on CNBC at 3pm.

How to Make an AC DC Converter
Explore this Article Steps Questions & Answers Related Articles References
Alternating current (AC) is used for power line transmission and for high power devices like appliances and lights. The characteristics of AC make it ideal for transmission over long lines and for delivering large amounts of power for relatively unregulated uses, such as generating heat and light. Lower power appliances and devices require the closely regulated control of direct current power (DC). As a normal house is supplied with AC, it must be converted to DC for many uses. Use these tips to learn how to make an AC DC converter.
1Select a transformer. A transformer contains 2 magnetically coupled wire windings. One winding is called the primary. The primary is driven by the main AC supply. The other winding is called the secondary. The secondary serves as the power input to the AC DC converter. This transformer and all of the other items needed to build the AC DC converter are readily available at electronic stores and hobby stores.[1]
- Size the transformer windings. AC mains provide 120 volts AC. If 120 volts AC were directly converted to a DC voltage, the resulting DC voltage would be far too high a voltage for use by appliances and devices. The primary and secondary windings of the transformer are scaled to each other in order to produce a lower voltage on the secondary winding.
- Choose a secondary winding. The AC output of the secondary winding should be rated as the same voltage of DC that is being created.
2Wire the primary winding of the transformer to the main AC supply. This transformer connection has no polarity and may be connected either way.[2]
3Connect the secondary winding of the transformer to a full wave bridge rectifier package. The transformer connections and the connections to the marked inputs of the rectifier package have no polarity and may be connected either way.[3]
- Build a full wave rectifier. This rectifier can be built up from 4 discrete rectifying diodes, rather than using a rectifier bridge package. The diodes will be marked to show a positive (cathode) end and a negative (anode) end. Connect the 4 diodes into a loop. Connect the cathode of diode 1 to the cathode of diode 2. Connect the anode of diode 2 to the cathode of diode 3. Connect the anode of diode 3 to the anode of diode 4. Connect the cathode of diode 4 to the anode of diode 1.
- Wire the discrete rectifier to the transformer secondary. The transformer secondary should be connected to the cathode of diode 3 and the cathode of diode 4. There is no required polarity for these connections. The positive output of the rectifier is at the point where the cathodes of diodes 1 and 2 join. The negative output of the rectifier is at the point where the anodes of diodes 3 and 4 join.
4Attach a smoothing capacitor. Attach a polarized capacitor across the output connections of the rectifier. The positive terminal of the polarized capacitor must connect to the positive output of the regulator. This capacitor should be sized such that the capacitance in farads (F) is equal to (5 times the current to be supplied by the AC DC converter) divided by (transformer secondary rating times 1.4 times frequency). Frequency varies from country to country, but is typically either 50 Hertz (Hz) or 60 Hertz.[4]
5Provide the final regulation. Choose a commercially available voltage regulator designed to control the output of the AC DC converter to the desired output voltage. The regulator will be a 3-pin device. The regulator pins will be a common, an input from the smoothing capacitor and an output of the regulator. This regulator output also will be the final output of the completed AC DC converter.[5]
- Wire the regulator as directed in the manufacturer's data sheet. There probably will be a noise suppression capacitor specified in the regulator manufacturer's data sheet. Acquire and install that capacitor per the manufacturer's data sheet for the regulator.
Community Q&A
QuestionHow do I use a car CD player at home with an adapter?Community AnswerGo on Amazon and order a 12V DC 2Amp power supply. Then clip tip or female plug off the rand and separate the wires. Run a voltage test to identify your ground. Connect the black wire from the back of your stereo to the ground. Then take the red and yellow wires from the back of your stereo and connect them both the with the positive or hot wire from your adapter. Use heat shrinks to cover and separate wires.
QuestionHow do I get 2000v dc from a circuit?Community AnswerYou can change the transformator input 220v output 2000v, but you also must change the diode 2000v or higher. If not the diode will be burned.
QuestionWhat does a rectifier do?Community AnswerA rectifier only allows an input of AC current to travel in one direction, giving you an output current in DC.
QuestionWill my final output voltage be lower once it is run through the diodes, capacitor and voltage regulator than it was at the secondary winding of the transformer?Community AnswerIf your transformer is a step-up transformer, the output voltage should be higher. It depends on the diodes, capacitor and voltage regulator.
QuestionHow can I convert 120 volt 20amp AC to 60 volt 20amp DC without a transformer?Community AnswerTo convert AC into DC you need a rectifier. A rectifier contains a transformer. Without a transformer, a rectifier cant work.

War Zone, USA: Hardship and Healing for Indigenous Water Protectors
By Ariana Alvarez, UN intern for the Loretto Community & member of the NGO Mining Working Group
When you think of war zones, it is easy to think of something far off. Growing up in the Bay Area of California, I recognized that I would most likely never have to enter a war zone in my life. Yet, you could say I stepped into one in November of 2016. When I arrived to Standing Rock in North Dakota, as I entered Oceti Sakowin camp, a young man said to me, "you're entering a war zone, but don't worry, we're not the ones with weapons." His name was Dakota. Dakota's comment completely shook me. How is it possible that right in the United States, native people – people who belonged to this land first – can feel so attacked to point of warfare? It seems impossible, right? Yet, the most crippling part is that this warfare isn't new- it's been happening for centuries to all of our native, indigenous, First Nations people. And somehow, we've all played a role.
The stories that stretch from Standing Rock's legacy are stories of triumph, unity, spirituality, resistance, but also of trauma. During my stay at Oceti Sakowin (pictured below, source: Matika Wilbur for Indian Country Today), I witnessed police enforcement spray down Water Protectors with fire hoses during a prayer circle we held at Turtle Island (a sacred burial mound) on Thanksgiving Day. This was only a quick peek into the series of attacks that were put onto Water Protectors throughout the duration of people at camp.
What I feel most media outlets failed to highlight about the Standing Rock movement was how spirituality was at the core of it all. Prayer was held every morning and continued throughout the day; prayer for our water, Mother Earth, the Seven Generations to come, and more. Everyone's water was being prayed for; even the water of those enforcing such pain and trauma onto the Water Protectors. That's how selfless the movement was, and still is.
Because of all the trauma that many Water Protectors now carry with them, a beautiful demonstration of support and solidarity has been conceptualized in the form of Earth Mother Community Education Camp in Iowa…The camp identifies itself as a progressive "think tank," with indigenous roots and practice at the core of it all. With sustainable technology and infrastructure, the camp will implement indigenous agricultural practices, and more, to promote a self-sufficient community and camp. The camp will provide resources and opportunities for professional and personal development through a community of indigenous teachers, community experts, and academic educators…The camp aims to carry the momentum of Standing Rock, but to also provide healing through community. The camp will have sweat lodges and other indigenous outlets for healing and spirituality growth. This is essential for the healing of all who are protecting our water, especially native and indigenous peoples. It is essential that we support outlets that support their well-being, for, they have been constantly knocked down for our comfort for far too long.
