Have you experienced the health benefits of drinking more water? Such as more energy, clear focus, and better digestion?
Well, I took it a step farther and just after Christmas this past year, I tried water fasting for 10 days – 10 DAYS!
Was it because there was so much excellent food over the holidays that my body couldn't digest all that was in it? No.
Did I grow a large hump on my back (like a camel), that allowed me to feast off of its fat reserves? Nope.
Was I hungry? Absolutely for the first 3 days, but then not so much.
You see, several months prior, my wife and I decided to fast as a way of detoxifying our bodies and giving our digestive track a chance to rest and heal itself. We had never attempted such a feat before and heard mixed reviews about fasting, but we figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try.
Why water fasting?
A few years ago I had the pleasure of working with a gentleman from Europe who wasn't too far from his 60th birthday. We talked about a variety of topics: finance, economics, health, nutrition… pretty much everything under the sun.
His views were so wildly different than mine (obviously since he was from another country), but talking with him helped to broaden my own horizons on the various topics.
One of them was water fasting.
One afternoon he shared that twenty years ago, he was diagnosed with late stage prostate cancer. He was in excellent health, was an active biker and ate a mostly vegetarian diet. Yet he had cancer.
His oncologist at the time had recommended various treatments, ranging from chemotherapy and radiation, to surgery, and even the removal of the prostate.
My co-worker wasn't sold on the recommendations of the oncologist, so he looked into alternative methods of treating and even possibly curing the cancer. One of those methods was water fasting.
Against the advice of his doctor, he was determined to fight his cancer naturally. He embarked on water fasting for 40 days, consuming no food and nothing to drink other than water.
Now approximately 18 years from his original diagnosis, his cancer remains in remission and he lives a pretty normal life.
So what changed? He integrated water fasting into his lifestyle, permanently.
By routinely and regularly completing long water fasts and permanently changing his diet to include more wholesome, nutrient dense foods, he now lives a healthier life. To keep track of his fasts and the experience and results, he keeps a water fasting log.
My Decision to Try Water Fasting
Curious and skeptical at the time, I began combing the web to validate his fascination and love of fasting. Article after article, page after page was filled with testimonials of people who love fasting.
They raved about the health benefits, spiritual benefits and so on. You'll even find that some declare fasting will cure cancer, HIV/Aids, acne, depression and fibromyalgia. Whether or not this information is true, I have no idea.
Despite all the nitty gritty details that the web will produce, my friend exposed me to something I thought I'd never try: water fasting.
Immediately after researching the benefits, I boldly declared to my wife, "I'M GOING ON A 7 DAY WATER FAST!"
She thought I was crazy.
No, I didn't have cancer. And in reality, I just wanted to try it since the benefits seemed great and there were virtually no risks. To ease into the water fast, I first started with the master cleanse.
According to US News, the master cleanse consists of water, freshly squeeze lemons, cayenne pepper and maple syrup. You drink 6-10 glasses a day for at least 10 days, and include an herbal laxative tea at night.
I honestly found this protocol unpleasant.
While some love the taste of this concoction, the cayenne pepper made me gag and the laxative tea had me up at 3am. My first attempt at fasting lasted 3 days before indulging in a burrito from a local taco shop.
Fast forward a few years and the idea of water fasting resurfaced between my wife and myself and we both decided to fast after the holidays. My plan was a 7-10 day water fast while hers was a modified 5 day smoothie fast.
I chose water fasting for several reasons:
- Water fasts are generally the quickest way to detoxify. Some even consider this the only "real" way to detoxify your body and bring it back in check.
- Water fasts are the most difficult. I thought if I could go ten days on water alone, all future fasts of juice or smoothies would be easy in comparison.
Health Benefits of Water Fasting
There are several benefits to drinking water in general. And in my research of the health benefits of water fasting, I found many articles. Some were backed up by research, and some were not. I summarized my findings here, but if you prefer to see the research for yourself, I recommend reading "Water Fasting for Wellness." It's a very helpful book with lots of research articles on the topic of water fasting.
For a doctor's viewpoint of water fasting, "Fasting and Eating for Health" would be my top pick.
Fat Burn
After your body has used all the excess calories, it begins burning fat. By default, when you burn fat, you lose weight.
Fasting merely to lose weight is a highly debated topic. Because your metabolism slows to a crawl, you must be EXTREMELY careful when you resume eating. Otherwise the weight will come right back.
However, if food is reintroduced properly and in moderation, keeping the weight off is possible.
Note: My wife and I lost weight simply by switching to a whole foods diet. If you're trying to lose weight, I highly suggest changing your eating habits rather than water fasting.
High Blood Pressure
This was one of the main reasons I chose to complete a fast this year. My blood pressure had been creeping up towards the 130/80 range, sometimes slightly higher. Fasting quickly brought it down to the 115/70 range.
It fluctuates depending on the day, but bringing it down 15 points was nice!
Mental Clarity
This is probably a side effect of your body not working very hard and in turn causing immense relaxation, but you are able to think much more clearly when fasting compared to regular eating habits.
Decisions were easy to make and "stressful" situations were much more manageable. I found that fasting helped me to put things in perspective.
Yes, your vision can sharpen! An odd, but pleasant side effect.
It doesn't mean you can quit wearing your contacts or throw your glasses in the trash can, but it's possible for your eyes to function more efficiently.
Cancer Prevention
A 2008 study at the University of California at Berkeley found that eating every other day decreased the rate at which cells produced, an effect known to reduce the development of cancers.
In animal models, intermittent fasting was found to reduce cancer growth on the skin and in breast tissue.
If fasting has the potential to treat and even possibly cure cancer, why isn't this being evaluated more often instead of the latest and greatest drug?
Live Longer
It's hard to explain the science behind this one, but research shows that those who fast live longer.
Does simply going without eating prolong life? Probably not. My guess would be the continuous removal of toxins and allowing the body to rest from its daily work.
Isn't this the new craze? People across the world are jumping on the "let's detox and be healthy" bandwagon, shouting for their food to be void of GMOs and pesticides.
What these people don't realize is that their "fad" is truth – fasting allows the body to rid itself of toxins.
Introducing and maintaining a proper diet filled with real and nutritious food really is better for you.
Note: Now that my fast is over, I don't want to fall back into poor habits. To regularly detoxify my body from the occasional splurge, I incorporate detox smoothies and detox baths into my weekly routine.
Digestive Function
Your digestive system will love you for fasting. It takes about three days into the fast for your system to completely shut down. Liquids in, liquid out.
After breaking the fast (safely and carefully of course), you'll find that your bowel movements behave as if they're on steroids. I'll spare you the details, but it's pretty incredible!
Water Quality When Water Fasting
My dad was a plumber and he was always very particular about the quality of water we drank.
A part of his concern still runs through me, and the quality of your water is worth mentioning if it's all you'll be drinking for a period of time.
Berkey water filters are the cream of the crop, known for taking arsenic, uranium, aluminum and fluoride out of ordinary tap water. While it's on the pricier side, it's definitely worth considering not just for water fasting, but for improving the water in your home as a whole.
If you're not a big water drinker in the first place and you don't think water tastes good, consider an infuser water bottle. You can add slices of fruit that will flavor the water, making it more palatable. There are infuser water pitchers too, for making bigger batches of flavored water. My favorite flavor combination is cucumber + mint + lemon.
My Experience With Water Fasting for 10 Days
Days 1-3
The first few days were rough.
It was during this time that the detoxifying symptoms were the worst. There was hunger, splitting headaches… it was rough.
I am a coffee lover and nothing beats pouring a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee into a ceramic mug, sipping the java goodness before starting the day.
I attribute the pure misery of days 1-3 to caffeine withdrawal. At the same time, Mrs. Crumbs cooking dinner for the kids and knowing I couldn't eat was brutal.
Days 4-6
These days were relatively easy.
By this time my digestive system had shut down and the hunger pains had disappeared. My tongue was often coated with a thick white film. This is apparently normal and another detoxification symptom.
I started losing weight, 1 – 1 1/2 pounds per day, but there was no problem going to work, playing guitar at church or performing any other daily physical functions.
Day 7
I will never forget this day – ever. This was the most miserable day I have ever lived on planet earth.
I came home from work feeling great, not hungry, thinking clearly… And then my life was flipped upside down.
My wonderful wife pulled a freshly baked loaf of rosemary olive oil bread from the oven. I was immediately angry and I wanted that bread. But it wasn't even possible at this point.
Once your digestive system shuts down around day 3, it takes a few days to bring it back up to speed. You do this by very slowly introducing food to your digestive system… drinking juice for 1-2 days, fresh fruit for another couple days, steamed vegetables for another day or two.
The process of reintroducing food can take anywhere from 7-14 days before your digestive system back up to fully operational. Eating any solid food while in a fasted state can lead to severe discomfort and even hospitalization!
Day 8-10
These days were almost an exact replica of days 4-6. By the end of day 10, I had lost 15 pounds and was ready to eat again.
Water Fasting: The Bottom Line
All in all, I enjoyed water fasting. It was challenging, but the health benefits were well worth it.
My digestion improved, blood pressure was lowered and I may have reduced the possibility of getting cancer. I plan on doing it again later this year, and probably continue to fast at least once or twice a year from now on.
My wife likes food too much to do a water fast, be she's committed to doing a smoothie fast with me whenever I water fast. That might be an option for you if the idea of water fasting is a bit daunting!
Fasting and Detoxifying on a Regular Basis
Water fasting is on the more extreme side of detoxing your body. However, there are many other ways to detox on a regular basis to keep your body functions optimal.
- DIY Apple Cider Vinegar Elixir is great for a daily boost to your digestive and immune system.
- A Detox Bath is an easy way to relax and allow your body to heal from the everyday toxins we encounter.
- Drinking a Detox Smoothie from time to time will boost your body systems and keep it running smoothly.
- DIY Detox Face Mask with Charcoal and Clay helps to clear your skin and improve your complexion.
- Using a Detoxifying Salt Scrub is a wonderful way to clean your skin and exfoliate while removing toxins.
- Everyday Detox and No Excuses Detox are cookbooks each with 100 recipes for healthy eating. Real food eating and detoxing through diet is an excellent way to keep your body free from toxins.
Several of those detox methods use Bentonite Clay. It's so good for your body in many ways (more about that here). If you're just starting out try one of these smaller containers of Bentonite Clay. But if you're like me and use it for all sorts of things around the house, buy it in bulk!
A 10 day water fast has great health benefits, but it's not for everyone.
- Drinking a lot of water has many benefits, taking to the next level of drinking ONLY water for a time can add some unexpected benefits.
- Use a water filter like a Berkey filter system to ensure you are drinking clean water. Keeping a good water bottle on hand or even an infuser water bottle is a good idea, too.
- If your body is not in a good place for a full water fast, a smoothie fast or other detox is a good idea. Try an apple cider vinegar elixir for everyday health or a detox smoothie to bring it up a notch.
Drinking more water is one of the steps to take when starting your healthy living journey. You can find more benefits to it and many other ways to be healthy in Kinda Crunchy, a 31 day Challenge to Healthier Living.

Remembering the Sagamihara 19
David Perry, Pacific Standard, 9 August 2016
It was the deadliest massacre of disabled people since World War II. How do we honor the victims if we don't even know their names?
Disability Hate Crime & The Sagamihara Victims
It was the deadliest massacre of disabled people since World War II. How do we honor the victims if we don't even know their names?
Disability Hate Crime & The Sagamihara Victims
Michael Peckitt, Accessible Japan, 9 August, 2016
... One reason for the lack of discussion of the Sagamihara killings as a disability hate crime, is that whilst on April 1st 2016, the Law to Eliminate Discrimination against People with Disabilities became law here in Japan, and does effectively ban discrimination against people with disabilities, one cannot since April 1st, for example, erect signs that say 'no disabled' (and yes I have seen such signs as a resident in Japan), Japan has no national hate crime legislation that deals specifically with disability hate crime ...
Is Peter Singer dog-whistling perpetrators of disability hate-crime?
Is Peter Singer dog-whistling perpetrators of disability hate-crime?
Naomi Chainey, SBS, 9 August 2016Where is the line between euthanasia and eugenics?
... do Singer's philosophies really serve to rally disability hate crime perpetrators? Was the association unfair? Some denizens of twitter seemed to think it hyperbole, as did Singer, insisting he was not at all sympathetic with Satoshi Uematsu - the 26 year-old mass murderer. "It is the parents and doctors making a decision in consultation," Singer said, in regard to his idea that infanticide is justifiable in certain circumstances. "It is not some crazy guy going into a unit and killing people" ...

Disability: no room for pity
Living While Disabled, 4 August 2016
How the Japan massacre relates to infanticide, abortion, and assisted suicide (and why the world's been silent about it) ...
... There was no great outpouring of emotion for the 19 people dead and the 26 people wounded. When the attack on Pulse in Orlando happened, targeted at LGBT people, the response came from people outside the community as well as inside it, but after Sagamihara, the vast majority of the response has been from disabled people. This is probably a combination of racism (the victims being BME) and disablism* – the victims were disabled people living in a residential community ...

Sparkling Seas
More common in water than on land, bioluminescence has evolved multiple times in the ocean. Marine animals make use of a variety of light-emitting systems—from luminescence to fluorescence—that allow them to occupy different habitats and levels within the water column.
The Shimmering Surface: Step into a sheltered Caribbean bay on a dark night, and watch the water's surface sparkle and glitter. Millions of tiny marine plankton called dinoflagellates flash on contact, creating a glowing halo around anything that moves through the waves.
Why the spectacular lightshow? Scientists theorize that the sudden flash both startles and exposes attacking predators and may cause a chemical reaction that acts as an antioxidant by removing toxic oxygen radicals.
Riveting Reefs: Along dark reefs below the surface of the Caribbean Sea, certain corals and sea anemones fluoresce in brilliant colors as if lit from within—but only when hit by certain wavelengths of light.
We can't detect this fluorescence in bright sunlight, but it's possible that some animals can. Many corals glow around the mouth and tentacles, and might use their light to attract prey. Fluorescent molecules may also also serve as sunscreen, protecting corals by filtering out harmful ultraviolet rays.

Care and Planting Instructions
Although full sun tolerant, mint will thrive in a partly shaded area with plenty of moisture. Plant in the spring after all danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 9-12″ apart in dry-moist, average soil that is well-drained. Drought tolerant. Plant height 18-24″.
To keep plants looking their best, cut plants back regularly by a third periodically to promote a fuller appearance. In the fall, you can cut the plants just above ground level. Be sure to mulch over the top if winters are harsh in your area. Mulch annually with well-rotted compost for best results.
Does well in containers or mixed pots. Attracts bees and butterflies. Deer, insect and mouse resistant.
Mint, Mojito
mentha x villosa
Mojito Mint is a beautiful full leaved mint originating in Cuba. Easy to grow, its spearmint scent is mild and warm – not overbearing as other mints can be.
Made famous by Ernest Hemingway and James Bond, the mojito cocktail is a popular beverage. Made with mojito mint, rum, sugar, and lime juice, the directions require "muddling" or crushing the leaves in the bottom of the glass before adding the other ingredients.
Mints have a tendency to be quite invasive; so many people plant their mints in pots or containers. However, if you want to keep mint in your garden, try planting your seedlings in bottomless number ten cans, or surround them with a barrier that is at least ten inches deep – laundry baskets work well for this. Just be sure to drill plenty of holes in the bottom to allow for drainage. If you have a damp spot in your garden area, consider planting mint as a groundcover as it likes a moist soil.
Mint is best when used fresh. Dried mint, when stored in airtight containers, will retain its flavor and scent. To harvest, gather bunches and hang on drying racks or spread on screens until completely dry.

To establish a Charity Hospital in the Holy Land
Establishing a Charity Hospital in Palestine will help the residents of Bethlehem who are poor and sick, get the medical attention they need and deserve. We are trying to improve the lives of people still in this region and whom have not immigrate out just to get the medicine or medical care that they may need to get better. When a sick or poor person walks in the door of current medical facilities, they are expected to pay upfront cost, and due to poverty and conflict are turned away without getting the help or medicine they need to get better, so by building a Charity Hospital we can ease the minds of these individuals and give them comfort in knowing there is help.
To support the Community and the special needs people in the
Land of Peace wants to empower and serve people in need of specialized supports by providing innovative services that improve their ability to live fulfilling lives in the community. Everyone needs someone to talk to at one time or another. When relationships, fears, anxieties or finances become overwhelming, a compassionate, objective ear can help you find your way. By building a Charity Hospital we can provide counseling, psychological testing, evaluation and medication review to individuals suffering from mental health challenges. Helping families struggling with these difficulties, who think there is no help, will feel and be better individuals in the community by worrying less about their illness and focusing more on their families.
To help the community families from not immigrating
outside the Palestine
Keeping families in their birthplace is an essential task Land of Peace wants to accomplish. Building this Charity Hospital will stop the people from leaving Bethlehem and going to Jordan or even out of the country to get the proper medical attention or care they need to get better. Imagine having to leave your birthplace to get a surgery you might need, or for cancer treatment, it would be a life changing experience especially if you can not leave due to financial circumstances, you would feel the battle of your illness has won. Giving the people a place to go in their homeland with the Charity Hospital will make the people feel the battle of their illness can be beaten.
To support the poor and the needy families in
Bethlehem area to survive
Getting the medical attention the people need is the way to survive, without medical attention it is a devastating defeat. Many people who are poor do not feel that they can get treatment because of their economic status. A Charity Hospital can give them the push to walk through the Hospital doors knowing their needs can be met without the anxiety of wondering How am I going to pay for this. Many people who are poor just give up. We at Land of Peace don't want them to do so. We want to give them a new way of understanding and respect for all people.
To create more opportunities within the community
for jobs
Establishing a Charity Hospital will create many opportunities for the people in Bethlehem to obtain jobs. The construction of the building can help create positions as well as jobs when the hospital is finished. The people of Bethlehem were able to work in Israel with no problems, after the wall was built the Israeli Government requires a visa to enter the city and they do not give them out lightly. Having the hospital in their homeland will bring many people to receive jobs.
To assist the poor students to obtain a college level
education by providing scholarships
Many young students finish high school but because of the financial circumstances they can not proceed on to college. With the help of Land of Peace we can help these intelligent and eager students by sponsoring them with scholarships and funding to attend college to get a college degree. The youth is our future and we must keep our future soaring. Keeping our children interested in school to become productive members of the community and to make our world a better place.
To support Bethlehem Arab Society for Rehabilitation
BASR has worked progressively upon its commitment to enhance the overall quality of life of people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, inspired by its mission for their total inclusion into all aspects of community life. Since its inception, BASR has diligently developed innovative programs and services that meet the emerging needs of the Palestinian community. They provide comprehensive medical and rehabilitation services it renders to beneficiaries from different parts of Palestine, particularly those with disabilities regardless of the gender, age, religion or social class.
To support the orphanage center in Bethlehem
Fr Antonio Belloni, a priest of the Latin Patriarchate who in 1863 founded a "Catholic Orphanage" to host poor and abandoned Christian boys, to give them a good education and professional skills. Over the years, the training programs have become broader and updated, following the context and the needs of the people.
The orphanage carries out a range of educational, pastoral and social activities to support the local community, both Christians and Muslims. They run a technical school and a professional training center in the service of the youth in Palestine. They also officiate the pastoral work at the Sacred Heart Church and carry on the activities at the Oratory (Youth Center) , offering daily educational activities and games of various kinds, together with other activities such as theater, sports, scouting, and choral music.
Create job opportunities for craftsmen and to
encourage apprenticeships
Having unique skills to create artifacts or high quality products is something everyone wants. Helping craftsmen and encouraging them to take on an apprenticeship will keep these quality workers and their craft and skill to be displayed throughout the world and create profit. Giving encouragement to the young craftsmen for their skills, can give them the drive to continue and show their beautiful crafts.

There are ways you can live longer in the nation's capital.
In fact, there are 11 of them, according to D.C.'s Department of Health, which recently released its list of the top preventable causes of death in the District. The report made up 49.5 percent of all deaths in D.C. in 2007.
Here are the things you can avoid/cut back on/do something about in order to survive in D.C.:
- Tobacco - 16.6%
- Poor diet and physical inactivity - 15.1%
- Microbial (infectious) agents – 4.6%
- Alcohol consumption – 2.9%
- Firearms – 2.7%
- Medical errors – 2.7%
- Toxic agents – 2.1%
- Sexual behavior – 0.8%
- Illicit drugs – 0.8%
- Motor vehicles – 0.6%
- Uninsurance – 0.6%
Hmmm... so what about the other 50.5 percent of all deaths in D.C.? We assume some of those are non-preventable, like murder (unless you're psychic and/or get lucky and can escape your attacker (yes, we watch way too much TV)). But what else is killing the good citizens of Washington?
Heart disease, for one. It's the top cause of death for District residents, followed by cancer, according to the DOH, which notes that tobacco use is a behavior closely linked to the development of both heart disease and cancer.
As D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, aka Mr. Triathlete, notes, "the choices we make can have serious impact on our health."
Now that you've got that straight, go forth and make some smart decisions.

Sir, you are indeed a gift to this generation, a blessing to the entire human race. Through your inspired messages, you've raised sons in Kogi State University. May God uplift you more and more in Jesus name (amen).
Please teach the rest of these internet hoanogils how to write and research!
I'm not easily impressed but you've done it with that posting.
If you wrote an article about life we'd all reach enetlhtenmgni.
edivaldo reis disse:fui casado com a rosaura, filha do "seu" arthur, e se ele foi brilhante como poeta, como sogro foi fantástico…sou fã de sua poesia, de seus versos, como por exemplo, perguntas ao papai noel: papai noel, onde estais? onde estais papai noel? onde estais que não me escuta? onde estais? onde estais que não me escuta? onde estais papai noel? Saudades eternas do "seu" arthur…
What if it was not Bustamante that made the quote. I was at the debate and was actually standing about two feet away from him when I heard this… It was NOT him. I would like you to know that I am a Karen supporter and even when talking to the other candidates, remain decorous. And about Karen being rude, she is one of the farthest things from it. If you have seen anything negative sent out from her, it has been to protect herself from Ozzie's "smear" campaign.
Your teachings sir has help my spiritual life and my friends to come to the knowledge of truth of Gods word and bringing me to a place of consistency with God.I appreciate gift of God in your life and may the Lord almighty increase more insight and revelation to you.
Though I do not have access to u physically, but the inspired words have been a great deal of blessing to me. You are indeed a man of God with substance and walk. Which I long for as the Lord liveth. I restricted myself solely to ur messages for 6months as the Lord directed me and God did great wonders in my spiritual life. More of His Grace in Jesus name.
God bless you sir for making your self available to be use by God to teach us these eternal knowlegde of the mysteries of God and his Kingdom. Every message from you is a blessing to my life . GOD BLESS YOU
you are not just a pastor or apostle, but you are indeed a pastor's teacher. GOD BLESS YOU SIR
thanks for your post lisa–i'm kind of in that, "ack! do i take the self-pub plunge or not?!?" place myself. it's scary and i hate to 'give up'…i know it's just another avenue, but can't help that feeling of conceding.my question for you is, will you ever pursue traditional publishing again? why/why not?
you are not just a pastor or apostle, but you are indeed a pastor's teacher. YOU ARE AFFECTING LIVES POSITIVELY FOR GOD AND YOU ARE RAISING SOME SPIRITUAL GIANTS. BLESS YOU SIR
Apostle Sir, u have turned my life 366 degrees. I love and respect u so much Sir and I've been looking for ur number and by God's grace I'll see u face to face Sir.

Types of Vietnam Noodle Soup
– Noodle Soup from Central of Vietnam
The central Vietnamese city of Huế, as soon as the capital of Vietnam and still known as the Imperial City, has a distinctive food packed with diminutive rolls, savory pancakes, dumplings, skewers and various other snacky bites.
Standing in contrast is the magnificent Bun Bo Hue, a soup that starts with pork as well as beef bones, gets a kick from lemongrass, annatto as well as shrimp paste, and also completes the task with a tangle of herbs, a squeeze of lime and a few tasty add-ons like chopped brisket, crab balls and, in many cases, dices of caked pig's blood.
Annatto is an orange-red condiment and also food coloring stemmed from the seeds of the achiote tree (Bixa orellana). It is often made use of to convey a bright orange shade to the soup. The soup taste will not be authentic if you miss adding this fresh herbal leaf – Polygonum odoratum, Vietnamese coriander, a fresh herb that tastes cilantro but finishes with a bit of heat.
Just like a ragu Bolognese, many chefs can settle on the basic framework of the dish, but everyone makes it with mild variations– and there's no end to the conversation concerning that does it best.
In contrast to what the name suggests– BÚN indicates noodles and BÒ means beef– Bún Bò Huếis frequently based upon a pork-intensive supply, with percentages of braised or raw beef included as a garnish.

We just launched the first version of Navigation info. A more than useful totally free application to be able to see relevant information, on top of your favorite GPS navigator that is displayed on small floating screens.
You can visualize an altimeter, the current speed at which you are going and (this is in beta version, but it already offers quite reliable results) the speed limit of the road you are currently driving.
Now you can open for example google maps, launch navigation info, and automatically 3 floating windows will appear. You can adjust the size and colors of the altimeter and speedometer and the size of the speed limit and if you want to warn when exceeding X km / h or m / h the maximum allowed by the way.
You can also adjust the unit of measurement of the three viewers to km / h or miles / h
The speed limit is obtained from OpenStreetMap and all the limits of all the published routes are not (nor much less), but the main ones are.
You can enter yourself at www.openstreetmaps.com and edit the map and add speed limits of the areas that interest you most and Navigation info will notify you of the new speed you have added.
Note: Speed limit information is for information purposes, you should never take into account this information about the real one indicated by the road.
You can download the free android application from here: Navigation info – Altimeter, speedometer and speed limit on maps.

|The lovely Terry Tyler...
Now…what am I really like??! A very hard question, because you never see yourself as others see you. I suspect I might be a little too 'tell it like it is' at times, but I find sociological/behavioural change and trends endlessly interesting, so I'm constantly observing things I want to say a load of stuff about! I'm learning a bit more diplomacy, though.
As for friendly and approachable? I'm probably more sociable online than in real life; I used to always be out and about and knew loads of people, but these days I prefer my own company or just that of my husband, much of the time. Which is lucky; writing necessitates that mostly it's just me and my laptop!
I often enjoy writing the supporting cast as much – people like ludicrous 'artiste' Glynis in 'Dream On' and ghastly author Harriet in 'Full Circle' – you can sometimes have more fun with secondaries as you don't have to evolve a whole character.
|Yep, this vampire was
a popular one...
The same goes for pieces of music or art you like, doesn't it? It's a bit like asking someone why they love someone; you can list their sterling qualities but that doesn't tell you why they love them.
As for my experience: in the last 20 years, I have made about 15 submissions, and have five times got past the initial step – ie, having the sample approved and being asked for the full manuscript.
One of these was 'You Wish', though I haven't submitted any of the other books I have on Amazon. Trying again may be one of my projects this year.

What is Ningxia Red?
For centuries, residents of the Ningxia district of northern China have enjoyed the astonishing health and longevity supporting benefits of the wolfberry that grows there.* However, due to the Ningxia region's physical and political isolation, knowledge of this potent superfruit remained relatively hidden from Western culture—until recently.
In 1993, as Young Living Founder, President, and CEO D. Gary Young was traveling the world seeking the natural secrets of life, energy, and vitality, he was introduced to Chinese scientist Dr. Songqiao Chao. Dr. Chao told Gary about a delicious berry that had been prized for thousands of years in China for its powerful health supporting benefits.* He further explained that the people who regularly ingested this berry led remarkably long and healthy lives.
While in China, Gary also learned that Chinese biochemists at the Ningxia Institute of Nutrition had analyzed the wolfberry and found it to be one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. Gary became convinced that this superfruit needed to be made available to the world.
By combining the wolfberry with pure essential oils, Gary created the world's foremost functional beverage, NingXia Red®. Young Living is proud to offer you the only nutrient drink on the market that combines whole Chinese wolfberries and pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils into a single beverage that tastes as good as it is good for you: NingXia Red.
The Benefits
Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils
Natural Stevia Sweetener
Wolfberry (Goji) Superfruit
Supporting Juice Blend
Pure, Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oils
DESCRIPTION: Orange (Citrus sinensis), yuzu (Citrus junos), tangerine (Citrus reticulata), and lemon (Citrus limon) essential oils
BENEFIT: The reformulated NingXia Red now includes seven times more essential oils! These carefully selected oils include orange and lemon, known for their ability to help maintain normal cellular regeneration*. They also contain high levels of the powerful antioxidant d-limonene, which is an important marker for bioactivity. Bioactives are natural compounds that work in harmony with your body to promote the healthy function of a wide variety of systems.NingXia Red also features tangerine essential oil, prized for its fresh flavor and its effect on maintaining cholesterol levels already in the normal range*. Exotic yuzu essential oil has been included for its uniquely delicious aroma, flavor, and high antioxidant content.
These pure and potent essential oils blend synergistically and deliciously with the other components of NingXia Red to support normal digestive health, healthy immune function, normal brain function, a healthy cardiovascular system, and much more*. No other nutrient-infused beverage can come close to the beneficial essential oil content of NingXia Red!
Natural Stevia Sweetener
DESCRIPTION: Stevia Extract (Rebaudioside A)
BENEFIT: Stevia is a zero-calorie sweetener and is 300 times sweeter than sugar, allowing for a delightfully delicious beverage with lower overall sugar content. We recommend you drink 2-4 ounces daily with confidence knowing you are not consuming excess calories and sugar.
Wolfberry (Goji) Superfruit
DESCRIPTION: Wolfberry Puree (Lycium barbarum)
BENEFIT: The wolfberries sourced for NingXia Red hail from the Ningxia province in northern China. This superfruit has one of the highest percentages of fiber of any whole food and contains zeaxanthin—a carotenoid important to maintaining healthy vision. It also contains polysaccharides, amino acids, and symbiotic vitaminmineral pairs that when present together promote optimum internal absorption. By using whole wolfberry puree—juice, peel, seeds, and fruit—Young Living is able to maintain more of the desired health-supporting benefits in every bottle of NingXia Red*.
Supporting Juice Blend
DESCRIPTION: Grape (Vitis vinifera) seed extract, blueberry (Caccinium corymbosum), plum (Prunus domestica), aronia (Aronia melanocarpa), cherry (Prunus avium), and pomegranate (Punica granatrum) juices
BENEFIT: Highlighting the supporting fruits found in NingXia Red is a patented grape seed extract that contain polyphenolic compounds that may help support a healthy cardiovascular system*. Additionally blueberry, plum, aronia, cherry, and pomegranate juice contains naturally high levels of anthocyanins and polyphenols, which block oxygen-based free radicals from damaging body tissues. Maintaining a diet rich in these powerful antioxidants is a recommended way to help prevent against a myriad of health risks and maintain healthy bodily functions*.
The new NingXia Red, infused with the juices of these powerhouse fruits and pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils, has a Super Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity (S-ORAC) score that is 50 percent higher than the original formula, making it one of the most antioxidant-rich beverages available.

You're either here because you're a new fan reading up on my past to get some insight, a stalker trying to decipher a code that instructs you on what to do next, an old fan seeing if there's finally anything new to be known, or you're a journalist who doesn't rely on Wikipedia for your background. Good for you. No matter what brought you here, welcome.
So I suppose I should tell you where I've been and who I am. I mean, I've been doing this music thing for many many moon now, but I know I'm still "new" to lots of you. That's the good part of not being a mega star. I still get to be new. I remember once I won the Best New Artist in a Los Angeles music magazine TWO years in a row. When the 3rd year came around, I was terrified that I might win it again, which wouldn't look so good, I mean, how long can you be "new"? Well, actually…quite a long time apparently. Luckily I lost.
My story began in the melting pot of melting pots, Berkeley, CA. It was a very strange upbringing in many ways, so much so that I've been writing a book about that, but let's not distract you. Berkeley was and is arguably the most culturally diverse city in the world, and so I was exposed to so many different types of music from a very young age. I was fortunate enough to have attended an elementary school that had a ground breaking jazz program, with equal emphasis on music theory and improvisation. When I was 8 I took up the alto saxophone, actually I wanted to play trombone, but when I got to the auditorium, the only instruments left were triangle and alto sax—I often wonder how my life would've been different had I chosen the triangle. So for the next several years I practiced my horn constantly, hours every day. I played so much jazz I became jazzed out.
So I went in the opposite direction and bought a royal blue Rickenbacker bass guitar and started a punk pop band. I also began to take voice lessons from a renowned Bay Area opera singer and coach. I was incredibly too shy to sing publically, but she eventually brought the voice out and there was no putting it back in. Concurrently I was taking bass lessons from Joe Satriani, yes, that Joe. He even asked me to be the singer in a band he was forming, no lie, but being terrified to sing on stage, I turned him down—just the first in a long list of brilliant career decisions. Shockingly, Joe did fairly well for himself without me.
I slowly got over the stage fright and moved to L.A. to become the lead singer of teen pop band Candy. Actually there was another band called Candy, but we wrote a bogus letter from an "attorney" telling them they had to change their name, they did. I still feel guilty about that, but all is fair in love, war, and teen pop bands. I often wonder how my life would've been different had they not changed their name, I may have joined Motley Crue. You know, I once lived just a few doors down from them off the Sunset strip, but we don't have the bandwidth to go into all of that. While doing the Candy thing, my day job was being Kim Fowley's personal assistant. Now THOSE experiences could fill a book. If you don't know Kim, google or wiki him. Kim was a huge Candy supporter and recorded our first demos that, in my opinion, blew away the eventual big budget big label album. Kim actually set us up with an audition for the legendary Clive Davis. I had just picked up the guitar a few days prior to the big showcase, and we were definitely not ready for prime time. Clive politely listened, then called us over and said, "Boys, you're only 3 minutes away from being stars", meaning we just needed that one hit song. At first I thought that meant he was ready to sign us up, then I realized this was his usual gracious rejection spiel. I mean, my grandmother was also only 3 minutes away from being a star.
Candy soon signed to Curb/MCA, and then our deal was bought out by Mercury/Polygram. We were managed by the same guy who was managing KISS, who were up for renegotiation with the same label. So we either got our record deal because we were undeniably great, or because our manager had KISS leverage. I like to think it was the former. We put out one album and toured the U.S. with Rick Springfield. Incidentally, on one of those tour stops I challenged Rick to a tennis match at the hotel. This was proof that we were poppers and not rockers. If we were rockers the challenge certainly wouldn't have involved tennis. Anyway, I'm fairly certain he would deny this, but I beat him in straight sets.
Our A&R man at Polygram was fired right before the album came out, so the record stood little chance for success. The video we shot was lots of fun, and made some noise on MTV, and even without any label support, Candy did fairly well. Seems we actually influenced a few bands and garnered a dedicated following in the U.S. and Japan, but soon enough I left the band to become a farmer. Oh no, wait, not yet, I decided I wanted to just write and record my own songs, so that's what I did, every single day for the next couple of years.
I wrote many songs with S.F. Bay Area legend Tommy Dunbar, who didn't drive, (to this date the only known human to ever live in L.A. who didn't drive), so I would go in my blue Plymouth Valiant and pick him up in Pasadena, bring him back to my Hollywood apartment where I had a studio, then drive him home at night. After all those trips in L.A. traffic, the car finally blew up one night on the 134 freeway. I often wonder how my life would've been different had the Valiant survived.
After a few years of writing for others and shopping for deals, I decided to book a "final" show at the Roxy in L.A. I saw it as my do or die gig, and seeing it as such, during the soundcheck I cold-called Barry Manilow's manager and begged him to come see my show on his way home. He had no idea who I was, but I figured I had nothing to lose. Well, he actually showed up and became my manager the next day. We secured a new solo deal on MCA and soon I was opening Manilow's Greatest Hits tour all over the U.S.
At the rehearsals for the tour, which were held at the now imploded Desert Inn in Vegas, Barry would sit in the front row and critique my performance. It was quite daunting, but also incredibly cool. These critiques continued for the entire tour. I'd be sitting next to Barry on the plane to the next gig and he'd blurt out, "Kyle, you need to walk on stage bigger, with your arms opened wide". Here's a shot of us at Graceland. Barry is still the coolest.
Months of release dates came and went for the "Trust" album, and I'd hear the funniest excuses. The prez of MCA once said, "I can't figure out if he's Bryan Adams or George Michael"– I love this biz! The album's release date was pushed and pushed until it was finally pushed over the cliff and never came out, actually a very common occurrence in the industry. So I regrouped, went back into songwriting/recording mode and tried to survive.
Again, I decided I would give it one final shot. I gathered up my pennies and flew to the South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas and snuck into an industry party. I went up to a young publishing scout and asked him what he was looking for. He said, "good pop songs". I said, "those I got". I left the party, dropped off a demo at his hotel room door, and left Texas. A week later I had a publishing deal, a management deal, and a new record deal on Hollywood Records. The first single was "Wake Me Up (When The World's Worth Waking Up For)", a song I had written with that monolith of power pop, Parthenon Huxley, who also co-produced the album with me.
The song quickly began to hit the charts on radio stations all over the U.S. It entered the Billboard "Bubbling Under" chart and sat there for several weeks before stalling at an almost unbearable #101, just missing entering the Hot 100. In retrospect, I think that was a very good thing, for if the song had entered the Hot 100, I probably would've just retired happy and satiated. Nevertheless, the tune did crack the top 20 on the Adult, Alternative, and Adult Contemporary charts in several industry trades, and went top 10 in many cities. It even appeared in a movie, "The Other Sister". Perhaps that's because the song was such an infectious pop ditty, or perhaps that because Garry Marshall was on my Burbank softball team. Let's go with the former.
For a stretch they were having a Battle of the Songs contest on a big L.A. Top 40 station. 'Wake' was up against Hanson's "Mmm Bop", which was ironic because many people had just assumed I was the fourth Hanson brother. I beat my brothers. Now either I won because I had all my friends flood the phone lines, or because my song was such an undeniable smash. Let's go with the latter. One night when the contest was going on, I called up the station and talked with the late night DJ. telling him I lived just blocks away from the studio. He invited me down to hang out. I ended up staying for his entire show. Turns out my new DJ pal was a young Ryan Seacrest.
But even the soon-to-be omnipresent Seacrest couldn't save the day. The follow-up single, "Arianne", didn't bubble under anything, but it does still gets loads of airplay in the strangest of places, like restaurants, gyms, and the local Stop n' Shop where it's currently bubbling under the organic bok choi.
In a cruel deja vu, literally 5 days before the album was released, the president of Hollywood Records was fired, or arrested, I forgot which, and all his acts were let go. Time to regroup, yet again. This time I put out the next album on my own label, before it was signed up to Varese-Sarabande/Universal. Are you counting the labels here?? I think we're approaching a record. I put out the next couple of CDs on my own, then had another quickie label deal with Ume, a digital download-only arm of Universal. You know, I think that puts the total label count at…holy moly, SIX?! I must hold the record label record. Let's just say I do, it makes for a better story, and the sympathy it elicits might coerce label #7 to pony up the big bucks for this next album!
I've had stints as the new lead singer in a reformed version of the Bay City Rollers, and Bo "Billy Don't Be A Hero" Donaldson & The Heywoods. Since I've been a Roller and a Heywood, I'm now awaiting a call from the Temptations or the O'Jays.
I've recently expanded my empire to include running for, and actually winning, public office in Western Massachusetts. I either won because I had such an engaging and inspiring message for the voters, or because I ran unopposed. I'd like to think it was the former.
So that's how we got here, and really, when you start out looking like this guy on the left, what choice do you have but to be a pop singer? Over the past few years I've been fortunate to travel the world playing for some of the best, most dedicated fans a guy could ask for, and sharing the stage with some of my biggest childhood idols. To have fans meet me at an airport in Manila or Japan or England or Akron with their KV albums and Candy t-shirts, is a pretty great feeling. I'm ever so grateful that you've come here with me.
My latest album is Miles & An Ocean, which I truly believe is my strongest yet, both in songwriting and recording performances. Check this bio often as I'm sure different anecdotes and photos may be added or changed on a whim.

WYOMING NEWS SERVICE, Cheyenne, WY - An overall grade of C+ has been issued to the Bureau of Land Management, according to a new report card released Wednesday by The Wilderness Society. The report tracks how the BLM is doing in keeping National Landscape Conservation System holdings healthy and accessible to the public. Those lands include Wyoming's National Historic Trials Interpretive Center.
Campaign Director Kevin Mack says there has been a marked improvement in availability of information for the public since the first report card issued five years ago, whether those details are on site or online.
Mack says it is notable that these lands are volunteer magnets, accounting for 40% of volunteerism, even though they only make up 10% of BLM holdings.
Mack indicates that National Conservation Lands are also growing in popularity, drawing up to a third of total visitors to all BLM lands.
The "needs improvement" areas the group feels the BLM needs to address include protection for wild and primitive areas; complete inventories of cultural resources; and funding for projects and staff.

The aftermath of America's deadliest shooting in Las Vegas has brought to light many acts of heroism between strangers. I found one extraordinary act in particular of special interest. A woman chose to stay with a dying man for four hours. Something deep inside her told her that she could not allow another person, even one who was a complete stranger, to die alone. This was a more intensely human act than that of the Good Samaritan, though one consistent with this great parable. A person who is dying can call evoke in us our deepest solicitude. This woman felt it was her solemn duty to attend to this man. She could not abandon him to die without the comfort of another human being.
Some may object that the word "duty" does not do justice to such a generous and heroic act. We often think of duty in terms of drudgery. Cleaning the house, making beds, raking the yard, doing the dishes are various duties we are often reluctant to perform. But these are duties on a lower plane. We have a duty to our neighbor that operates on a moral, even Christian level. The Russian existentialist philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev has remarked that "Our attitude to all men would be Christian if we regarded them as though they were dying, and determine our relation to them in the light of death, both their and our own death. A person who is dying calls forth a special kind of feeling. Our attitude to him is at once softened and lifted to a higher plane."
We hear far more talk about "rights" than about "duties". This is a point that is made abundantly evident in Mary Ann Glendon's award winning book, Rights Talk. We assert our rights, but must perform our duties. Hence, our rights do not cost us anything. Our duties can be onerous. Yet duty is more profound than rights. Duties can be the correlatives of rights. A student who pays his tuition has a right to learn. Therefore, the teacher has a corresponding duty to teach. Parents have the duty to care for their children who, in turn have the right to care. Nonetheless, there are duties for which there are no corresponding rights. A dying person does not have the right to be attended to by a stranger. Here is where duty transcends rights and through the generosity of one's being a person does what needs to be done without having any regard to satisfying a right, his own or anyone else's. Such generosity, as Jacques Maritain states, springs from the "deepest requirements of being, those through which beings resemble God".
Duty also precedes rights. We may have a right to be happy, but we will not achieve that goal if we do not perform our duty. The Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore has captured this notion beautifully when he writes as follows: "I slept and dreamed that life was joy. I awakened and saw that life was duty and behold, duty was joy." The historian of philosophy, Will Durant, has said something similar: "Never mind your happiness; do you duty." Happiness is something that "happens" when we have fulfilled our duty.
We are asleep to the moral order when we naively believe that life owes us happiness. The fact that there is so much unhappiness in the world is a clear indication that happiness is not as readily possessed as picking apples from an apple tree. "Happiness was born a twin," said Robert Browning, meaning that happiness cannot be a private possession. "It is not good for man to be alone." In order to be happy, we must involves ourselves with others. Our duty to serve the good of our neighbor is antecedent to happiness. Duty comes first. Our reluctance to do our duty is the key to understanding the unhappy state of mankind.
Duties are more profound than rights because they more faithfully characterize the essence of the human being as generous, loving, and one who is destined to serve others. We were born to fulfill our duty through love. Rights, important as they are, are more of a legal concept. Duty is rooted in our being. On the other hand, rights are more profound with regard to God since He has the right (and not the duty) to create us by virtue of His divine prerogative. God is also just, which means that He owes it to Himself to give His creatures what they require by their nature. Man has his duties; God has His rights. The correspondence between Divine Right and human duty may very well capture the essential drama of the creation of man and his return to God.

When it comes to landscape and architectural photography, we all know that clouds really add an extra dimension to the image!
Driving along the Meydan road in Nad al Sheba area, with some threatening storm clouds at the horizon, I felt the urge to stop and "make" a photograph.
Recently the Indian Sobha group, announced it will develop the area where this image was shot from, into an 743.000 sqm housing, schooling and entertainment project. Work should start early next year. Unfortunately this will become a skyline view to be lost.
Over the last ten years, I've collected quite a few different views on Dubai's high-rise district. Some of them can be found here. I guess capturing the ever changing Dubai skyline never gets boring!
Image details:
Nikon D800 with 70-200 2.8 VR2
ISO100, f5.6, 70mm, 1/320s with circular polariser filter
RAW development in Lightroom 4.3 RC
Nik ColorEfex for contrast adjustment
Knowing the people who are building Dubai, I think the following quote is quite appropriate :
"The city is what it is, because the citizens are what they are"- Plato

In a world that is becoming more interconnected with more and more powerful governments and corporations moving through it by the day, anonymous internet services are becoming increasingly more and more critical. Here's some information about these types of services, including why they are important and how they can be used.
Internet Hosting Anonymity Services Tips: Overview and Bitcoin
Anonymity should be one of the most important things you focus on when you go to look at potential web host options. After all, this is going to be one of the areas where you could have your identity revealed or have sensitive information get out if this is something that you're worried about currently.
This means that you have to focus on a few particular options within this area in order to from the basis of your decision. For example, one question that it's worth asking early is whether or not a hosting company takes Bitcoin or not.
This is important for a number of reasons. It's important for the obvious reason, which is that this would allow you to pay for your hosting with Bitcoin, which is a more anonymous way to pay for everything than the other common means of payment which often include PayPal and credit cards right at the top of the list.
These aren't especially anonymous because they both tend to require that you hand out full details about yourself such as address and name. In the case of PayPal, there's even a push to connect it with a bank account in order to get full functionality. When it comes to credit cards, many of them even ask for a whole lot of information such as your social security system in the United States, for example.
But, with Bitcoin, once you fund your wallet, you can divorce the payment from yourself a bit. There are strategies to swap around coins too in order to make it even more anonymous. You can pay with cash at certain terminals that accept conversion from cash to Bitcoin directly.
Internet Hosting Tips: Other Markers to Look For
Besides Bitcoin or other anonymous options, there are other services within the hosting service that can be important in your determination about whether a company is going to be worth it to you if anonymity is your primary concern. For example, the country that a company is located in can make a major difference in terms of how safe you feel getting hosting services from them.
One example of this is OrangeWebsite, which has operations in Iceland. This country is often lauded for their privacy laws so this could be a good choice if you check out Iceland yourself and come to the same conclusion. Other people might simply try to avoid hosting services in countries they don't trust due to poor privacy laws. There are also other nations out there that might be good for this such as Canada, which has user privacy protections, or Switzerland, which is often known for being neutral and not accepting demands for information from other countries that easily.
VPN Services
Another important privacy service worth mentioning is a Virtual Private Network. This is something that connects your computer's Internet to a third party before it connects to a website. As a result, you're able to make it seem like a different IP address, that is, a different computer other than yours connects to wherever online.
This extends to all of your connections, including anything you download or upload with other programs, for example. It can protect the security and privacy of a Skype video call, Facebook Facetime, or anything else that you want to keep protected. These services often use much higher level encryption than they would have otherwise, even the AES 256-bit encryption that's known as being so secure plenty of corporations used it. This is actually important with services like Skype because they don't really offer encryption on their own much of the time. The person you're talking to will also not automatically get your IP address so you can keep it private.
Many people online speak of the importance of making sure that you pay for a VPN, because if you try to use a free one, there's always the chance that the VPN is selling your information because, the idea is, if they don't sell a product, then the product could be you and your data.
If you have some reason especially to make sure you can't be traced, such as dealing with a government that has reason to snoop on you, then it's important to try to have the whole package deal when it comes to your security and anonymity. That's exactly why it's helpful to pair a privacy and security conscious hosting service with a VPN for added security when you're running a website and are trying to make sure that you can say what you want without being snooped on by governments, third party organizations, hackers, or anyone else that has no business looking into yours.
Proxy Services
One alternative to a VPN if you don't need or don't want to secure every connect, is to instead use another type of Internet privacy service called a proxy. These will mostly just secure your web browsing itself directly.
It can be a secondary option that will work well for you if you find one in a country you trust with a company you trust so that you can do what you have to do online anonymously, including running your website through a reputable company, for example.

2. Braun Series 9 9095CC – The Newest product of Braun
The newest model to be launched by Braun is the new beloved model – Braun 9095CC. Acquiring its new chrome-like design allows for this model to stand out from the crowd of other razors on the market.This model has an extra trimmer called, "Direct & Cut". This extra trimmer finds the hairs that grow out from various directions, positions them in a way that makes them aligned. After that, it slices and dices those hairs. In other ways, the razor is more skilled at removing flat hairs that need to be remedied.Another beneficial factor that the Braun Series 9 9095CC does is that it has 40,000 cross-cutting actions per minute. Because of this, it is able to get you the close shave that you need.
The one drawback is that the model's made of plastic while it's also equipped with a metal head.There are features that you going to have to sell your arm, your leg, and your firstborn son for some of these features – especially if you have a normal beard and you shave every day. Of course, this razor is very much more comfortable on your skin. Another feature that you can take advantage of is the Wet&Dry technology. If you have dry skin or just stupidly sensitive skin with shaving gel, you can use this shaver to comfortably shave off any unneeded hairs. So, basically, with all of the features that you can take advantage of, the only downsides is that the razor is made out of plastic and that it is stupidly expensive.

5. Panasonic Arc 4 – Affordable and perfect for close shaving.
If you have kept a close eye on the Panasonic models, you would have that this is the same model as the Panasonic Arc5. The only difference is that there are 4 blades in the head.The other difference that a charging dock is not included. One thing that you can enjoy from the Panasonic Arc 4 is that you are going to get a close shave with this razor. The only drawback is that it isn't going to feel as comfortable as you would like it to be. You can basically expect all the bells and whistles that you would get from the Arc 5 with a few setbacks.
For starters, there are is one less trimmer that you are missing away from the other model Arc 5.This doesn't mean that the blade model system isn't completely lacking. One additional plus is that the blade is able to make close shaves. This is because of the 4-blade system that the model has. One sharp advantage is that you can get those close, hard-to-reach places with blades that pivot at 30 degrees in any direction. Another thing that you would have to worry less about is the durability of the blades. They are very much durable. With a linear 14,000 CPM dual action motor, you can expect your blades to be powerful enough to shave the toughest hairs. Battery life does leave a lot to be desired. It can only muster 40 minutes of battery life after a single charge. It only gets marginally better with a back-up battery.
What makes the Arc 4a great razor that you can trust it. It's trusted by Amazon as it's labeled with Amazon's Choice. On top of that, 3,413 past customers have collectively rated the razor itself as 4.3. 65% of the reviews are 5-stars with the majority of the customers absolutely loving the Panasonic Arc 4.
- This razor is super affordable compared to other high-tech razors.
- You can stay up-to-date with the battery life and the motor speed with the LED Panel.
- This razor an be a little uncomfortable.
- There is no cleaning or charging dock.

There are many GCSE students who find science intimidating, but with the right revision tools you can tackle each area topic by topic; breaking down processes and theories into manageable chucks.
Albert Einstein is famously quoted as saying "It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid." Implicit sexism aside, a good theory or explanation should be simple, exact and easy to understand.
If you find yourself rambling during an explanation, or stumbling over certain factors or formulas, then there is room for improvement.
Keep it simple
Build yourself a glossary by collecting key scientific terms with your own definitions written beside them. Using a coloured pen to highlight the most important words can really help them stick in your mind, which in turn can save precious time in the exam.
Next, you need to practise your explanations. Family members make excellent test subjects, particularly younger siblings. If you can teach something to an eight year old, then you are likely to have a good grasp of the key concepts.
Practice, practice, practice
As I am sure you are already aware, one of the fastest ways to improve your grades is to complete practice papers. But a word of caution; these have to be done in the right way, or you will simply be wasting your own time.
If you are unsure of a certain module or topic area, or you have scored badly on a recent mock test, then you should begin your revision by trying a few papers with your notes and textbook open – looking up answers should help you remember them for next time.
Then, attempt papers in exam conditions, making sure you are harsh on yourself when it comes to marking the test (ensuring you use the required wording, for example).
Take some time in between papers to correct your answers and review those topics in which you did not score as well, making sure you could answer a similar question next time.
Sitting all the papers in one go, without reviewing your answers, is akin to running ten or twenty 100m races with no rest in between and still expecting to perform in each one like Usain Bolt.
Use your time wisely
You will notice that some topics come up in multiple subjects – these are great ones to focus on, particularly if you are low on time ahead of the exam. For example, respiration and combustion are incredibly similar processes and come up in chemistry and biology respectively.
Pollution, global warming and renewables are particularly significant areas as these come up in all three science subjects.
Learn the lingo
Make sure that you are able to describe and interpret graphs accurately, because there is likely to be at least one of these in each science paper. Use your glossary from earlier to make use of words such as "gradient" and "directly proportional" rather than merely describing if the graph goes up or down.
Each descriptor will be worth one mark, so if there are three marks available you must make sure to make three salient observations. If you are running low on ideas in the exam, then simply refer to the axes to point out exactly what is happening: for example, "the graph peaked at [insert number here]".
Count on maths
A lot of marks, particularly in physics papers, will require calculations, so you should make sure you understand percentages and can rearrange equations.
If Maths is not your strong suit, or if you find yourself completely unable to answer a question, have a look at the units demanded by the answer (these will often be written beside the line for your answer) to try and give yourself a clue. For example, if the units are N/m2, try to find the number with Newtons beside it and divide this by the area.
Always check the units required by each question. Every year hundreds of people forget to convert centimetres to metres or grams to kilograms and lose a mark as a result. Do not let it be you.

10 Mar Annual Maine Snowmobile Trip
Posted at 01:50h in Maine Vacations 0 Comments
We had a great time for the second year in a row – this seems to have become our annual trip!
However, the only down side was that our sled had some mechanical problems which did not allow us to fully enjoy its use most the day…the malfunction forced us to ride moderately slow, unable to excellerate as desired. It wasn't until someone from The Hawks Nest, Jesse, stopped us on the trail to tell us that he could see the problem with our sled (skis) and encourraged us to return to Northern Outdoors with the sled so that we would not damage the ski further. We did and we were given another sled, but at this point, it was already almost 4pm.
PS. We Loved the "Diver Down" drink in the bar!
