Have you ever searched the Mac App Store for task management apps? If not, go check real quick; we'll wait. Surprising, isn't it? There's literally hundreds of results. Outside of the mainstays (Things, Omnifocus, and Wunderlist to name a few) there are some diamonds in the rough out there, great apps that might not be as polished but deserve more than simply being ignored in the App Store. Onlytasks may just be your diamond in the rough.
By implementing several unique features—such as Evernote sync and Calendar integration—Onlytask provides an appealing option in the task management category. Odds are, you've never tried it before, so let's take a look.

Setting Up Onlytasks
Onlytasks is developed by Juan Miguel Escribano who initially developed the app out of the desire to provide a task management solution that integrated with Evernote. (To check out some of Juan's other projects visit his blog.) So if you need to sync your tasks across multiple Macs or with the iOS versions of Onlytasks, your first step is going to be syncing with Evernote.
On first sync, login to an Evernote account is required. If you already have an Evernote account you will be able to choose which notebooks you want to sync. If you use Evernote separate from your GTD or task management system, chances are you will not sync all or even most of your notebooks. Note titles will become tasks and the body of the note will become a task note. In my testing initial sync took a couple of minutes, but sync was very fast afterwards. Initial sync will sync all of your tags in Evernote, but you can hide the tags you will not be using. After syncing for the first time all newly created notebooks and tags will sync with Evernote and Onlytasks.
If you don't have an Evernote account, setup is quick and free. If you use Evernote and want to keep your GTD system and notes separate, creating a new Evernote account is also quick and free.
What Makes Onlytasks Unique?
With so many task management app options out there, it is worthwhile to point out where Onlytasks is unique. The first thing that stands out opening Onlytasks is the three-pane window.
After using Onlytasks for a few days, I noticed a couple of advantages of having a three-pane window. First of all, notes are visible without having to open the task. Second, adding the third pane means several customizable viewing options allowing users to customize the view to their heart's content.
Another very valuable feature in Onlytasks is the integration with both the native Calendar app and the native Reminders app. When adding a new task, clicking the option at the bottom of the Add window allows you to send the task to a calendar or a Reminders list and set an alarm—without having to open either app. This is extremely flexible because you do not have to choose a predefined calendar or Reminder list to send tasks to.
Powerful filtering is another feature that sets Onlytasks apart. Using the Command key, you can filter as many lists, notebooks, and tags as you want. This translates into the most powerful filtering tool I have seen in a task management app (and that is saying something because I have tried them all). What makes this filtering option even better is that when you filter tasks in a way you find useful, creating a saved search will remember the filters and they will be just one click away.
Other Nice Features
There several other features available in Onlytasks that are not necessarily unique, but for me—and many other task manager app users according to reviews and message boards I have read—are very useful. For example:
- Access to the app in the menubar. The menubar shows tasks due today and has a shortcut for adding new tasks.
- A universal shortcut for adding new tasks.
- Customization options for font styles, font sizes, icon sizes, etc.
- Plenty of options for sorting tasks within lists.
- An Instructive, built-in Help menu.
iOS Integration
In today's busy world your tasks should go where you go. An app that does not sync across devices is a deal breaker for many. Thankfully, Onlytasks also sports a universal iOS version. Additionally, tasks are synced to Evernote for backup and editing. In my testing, sync between the Mac and iOS versions as well as Evernote was accurate and fast. I encountered no sync errors. That is not to say the integration is complete. The ability to send tasks to your calendar or create a reminder in the Reminders app is absent in the iOS version of Onlytasks. You can set reminders in the iOS version, but they do not communicate with the Mac app. The developer informed me in an email that integrating the notifications between iOS and OS x is on his list. The powerful filtering tool is also missing from the iOS version.
A Couple of Setbacks
While I was impressed overall with Onlytask's feature set, there are a couple of things missing. I have several tasks that need to be completed on a quarterly, monthly, biweekly, or weekly basis. Unfortunatley, Onlytasks is not helpful for this aspect of task management as it lacks the ability to set up repeating tasks. Also, new tasks that require a due date cannot be added completely from the keyboard, which is a drawback for keyboard enthusiasts. Finally, the interface for Onlytasks is a bit unrefined and cluttered. The current version is a big improvement over previous versions, and hopefully this will continue to improve as the app matures.

Athlete Spotlight: Bailey Bram
As a member of Hockey Canada's women's team, Bailey Bram is in the midst of a rigorous Ice Hockey season with competitions every couple of days. Despite this busy schedule Bram still takes time out of her day to create mentorship videos for a group of students as part of her involvement with Classroom Champions. Bailey Bram is one of our 2017 Athletes in Excellence Award winners, and she was nominated by Classroom Champions.
Growing up in the small town of Saint Anne in Manitoba, Canada, Bailey Bram began playing ice hockey when she was just four years old. As with many Canadian families, ice hockey was well loved and played by the Brams, with Bailey's five brothers and her sister also playing.
Bailey Bram has volunteered with Classroom Champions for the past two years. As a mentor with Classroom Champions, Bailey creates for classrooms video lessons on topics such as diversity, community, healthy living, goal setting, and so many more. These videos are more than just lessons – they are building blocks of a mentoring relationship Bram and other athletes develop with their students. The athlete mentors end each video with a challenge for the students to try and implement whatever lesson they just learned. In addition to the lesson videos, Bram also has two live video chats with her classrooms. You can watch her video on diversity below:
Bailey Bram: Diversity from Classroom Champions on Vimeo.
While Bram was nominated for her work with Classroom Champions, she volunteers with several organizations. When she was playing with the Calgary Inferno ice hockey team, Bram and several of her teammates volunteered with the "Start the Spark" event through the Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre. This event was collaborative effort to destigmatize mental illness in youth and to promote conversations among youth about their mindset.
Bram is a terrific example of someone who uses sport as a way to reach young people. She is a mentor to young female hockey players through the Girls Hockey Calgary Association, and as part of this she guides a team with advice and leadership. At the Martha Billes Girls In Sport event at the Jumpstart Games, Bram was a recognized athlete mentor. Bram can also be found sharing her time with the Ronald McDonald House and Boys & Girls Clubs of Winnipeg.
Bailey Bram has been a member of several outstanding ice hockey teams and has made an appearance at six different World Championships, including an Under-18 championship. In 2017 she and the rest of the Canadian won the Silver medal at the World Championships. They also won the silver medal in 2016, 2015, and 2013. In 2012 the team won the Gold medal.
She was also a standout athlete in college and high school, making it to the 2013 Frozen Four NCAA tournament. She was on three College Hockey America conference tournament champion teams and four regular season champion teams.

Sometimes, we can pay so much attention to the camera and the lens, that we forget the simplest of accessories that may have more effect on our photography than the more expensive equipment. In this video I look at 3 accessories, firstly a small, inexpensive but very capable mini tripod that you can take with you any where you go, so it can help you to get sharp images, or images with movement in situations where you would not normally have a tripod with you.
Secondly, I look at a variable ND filter, these things are amazing, they are almost infinitely variable sunglasses for your camera. They can give control in situations when you want a wide aperture in bright light, but also, they can be essential for video, especially if shooting at 24/25 fps where your shutter would (or should) be about 1/50, because once again, unless you really stop down your lens (and sometimes even that is not enough) you can simply reduce the light hitting the sensor to suit your situation.
Lastly, I look at a 10 stop ND filter, when you first look at this, it appears to be completely black, but in fact, it reduces the light hitting your sensor by 10 stops, therefore you can get exposures of 30 seconds to 1 or 2 minutes in broad daylight, but why would you want to do this?
If your camera is on a sturdy tripod and the shutter is open for 30 seconds or more, that means that subject matter such as buildings, bridges etc will remain sharp, but the clouds will have moved, grass will have moved, creating stunning surreal effects that you could not really create in camera, with any camera, without this simple accessory.
Give them a try, happy shooting!

Research Group 'Econometrics and Statistical Methods':
The research focus of this group is on nonparametric regression analysis, especially on estimation with low-rank spline functions.
In particular, various generalized additive and mixed models are handled with both frequentist and Bayesian approaches. Flexible modelling of random effects, adaptive curve estimation and dealing with correlation data are just few topics.
Research Group 'Agricultural Economics/Rural Development'
This group focuses on the broad issues in rural economies of developing countries, such as East Asian and African Countries. In particular, a strong emphasis is placed on the linkages between smallholders and consumer markets, and on the ongoing transformation of the food supply chain and the corresponding impacts on rural livelihoods (i.e., farmer income and consumer welfare) both from the theoretical and empirical perspectives.
The specific topics include:
1. The driving forces of the changes in the food supply chain, such as trade regulation changes and consumer preference transformation;
2. Traders' role in the supply chain;
3. Contract design between players in the supply chain, and the impacts on risk-sharing and contract enforcement;
4. Price transmissions along and beyond the supply chain and the impacts on rural livelihoods;
5. Transferablility of East Asian experience to African countries.
Research Group 'Development Economics'
The main research topic of this group is on the determinants of pro-social behavior. We investigate theoretically and empirically, the effect of monetary and non-monetary factors on behavior. Our field work combines survey and experimental data to the study of a wide range of policy relevant issues. For example we study participation in illegal activities, adoption of environmentally friendly technologies and redistributive preferences. We expect to provide policy makers with evidence which could lead to the design of innovative policies.

Here's a better idea: legalize it, then it won't have to be grown indoors, secretly, and organized crime won't be involved, and profiting thereby.

Northern Ireland police are distributing marijuana-smelling scratch-and-sniff cards to help people recognize the smell of weed being grown illegally.
When scratched, the cards produce the scent of cannabis in its "growing state," says the Guardian newspaper, which adds the odour is different from the smell of marijuana smoke.
The cards' cannabis odour is caused by a chemical, not the plant itself.

Link to Mark Newman on FaceBook today by clicking HERE
Triple Threat Americana - Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Mark Newman, the man-in-demand for a wide range of artists, released his new EP, BRUSSELLS, MARCH 2015 (℗2015 Mark Newman). Filled with tasty guitar licks, honest vocals and the kind of profound compositional strength that's universal in scope, BRUSSELLS EP is the follow-up to Walls Of Jericho and his 2006's Must Be A Pony.
Growing up in New York, Mark Newman's musical journey has taken him around the world several times as both sideman and singer/songwriter. This ace stringsman (guitar, lap steel, mandolin, dobro) and accomplished songwriter is the type of singer whose warm and expressive voice sounds like an old friend. He put it all together on 2006's Must Be A Pony (Danal Music, LLC). Now, he takes a quantum leap forward with the stunning Walls Of Jericho (Danal Music. LLC).
Sharing the stage with such notables as soul legend Sam Moore, the late Willy DeVille and Sam The Sham, has given Newman the perspective to craft an individualistic sound framed in straight-from-the-hip rock'n'roll, simmering with the subtle flavors of blues, R'n'B, funk, folk and soul...more

Thankfully Al from OKC, one of our loyal blog readers, was kind enough to send in a paddling trip report from nearby Caddo Gap, Arkansas.
Hi Thomas:
Donna and I made a quick run over to Caddo Gap, Arkansas a couple of weeks ago and I thought I'd drop you a line about it in case you hadn't been there yet. It's pretty easy to get to... just an hour and a half straight south of Van Buren. The river was a bit boney at this time of year but still kayakable (a solid class 2 with lots of short shallow rapids).
I had never experienced willow strainers like they have there and it was quite different. We covered about 5 miles or a bit more on the river and probably dealt with about 15 strainers. As we approached each one, we'd have to listen and look carefully to see which way the river diverted (right or left). With a little practice, we got pretty good atreading the water flow after determining that the ONLY way around each strainer was to take the path of least resistance and fastest flow.
Each set of rapids involved a short burst of about 50-75 yards always on asharp curve and mild drop in elevation followed by a stretch of flat water to reorient the kayak and relax for a while. I imagine the rapids would be a bit easier with spring rains as there wouldn't be quite as many large rocks to hang up on. Even so, it was a pretty nice experience and provided us somewhere different to go although not quite as scenic as Lower Mountain Fork.
The one major drawback was a lack of really nice lodging. We rented a pleasant and clean but fairly old cabin right on the river bank and across the road from an outfitter in Caddo Gap (Caddo River Cottage). I will say it was convenient being able to chain the kayak to a tree at the rivers edge and not load and unload it a lot.
The outfitter across the road will portage you upstream ($10) with your kayak or canoe for a short 1 mile float home or will lead you to his pick-up on the river in Henderson (I think that's the right town name) a few miles down river to park your vehicle and bring you back to put in at the cabin (20). We did both over the two days. Overall, it was a pretty good weekend away and the river was a new challenge for building our skills.
By the way, although the air temp was about 70 at the time, the waterwas about 50 so I was glad we brought dry-suits. Even with that, we were a bit chilled by the end of the long run. As a result, I just got Donna a full body front zip wet suit and scuba boots to keep her warm and dry through fall kayaking.
Well, that's it for this report. Might hit the Canadian by Overholser this weekend for some exercise now that we had a little rain. Can't wait til spring or for a really nice weekend. We'd like to go run part of the Buffalo River in Ark. if we can. Looks like a really scenic area. Unfortunately, all the really nice cabins on the Buffalo were full last time so we chose the Caddo instead.
I'm looking into another visit to Puerto Rico for March and there's supposed to be one really scenic river over there. We've already kayaked a luminescent lagoon and bay in Fajardo, PR. and it was a total blast. -- Al
Wow, Puerto Rico...that sounds fantastic Al! I'll be stuck at home until my family manages to get healthy enough to paddle again, but you can bet I'll only have one thing on my mind until then!
Got a great Oklahoma area paddling trip report you would like to share? Send me an email or leave a comment on the blog.

How many times have you found yourself out of breadcrumbs when you need it for a recipe? I have something you should try the next time you're faced with that problem of what to do with that awaiting casserole.
All you need to do is place a hunk of your French or Italian bread in the freezer for about a half hour to harden it up.
When it's time to remove it, you grate some of that frozen bread with your hand grater for sprinkling onto that dish and bake or roast as usual.
You'll like how this little tip will help in a fix. Besides, this is also a great way to use bread that is going stale. I do hope you try this one.

We present a synthesis technique that can automatically generate stroke patterns based on a user-specied reference pattern. Our method is an extension of texture synthesis techniques to vector-based patterns. Such an extension requires (a) an analysis of the pattern properties to extract meaningful pattern elements (dened as clusters of strokes) and (b) a synthesis algorithm based on similarities in the detected stroke clusters. Our method is based on results from human vision research concerning perceptual organization. The resulting synthesized patterns effectively reproduce the properties of the input patterns, and can be used to ll both 1D paths and 2D regions.

3B Systems are a local computer hardware store and sell online as well.
Their site was set up in house and wasn't the greatest site but it worked and they had customers on the site but they wanted more from the site including more visitors.
My first stage was to get data from the site about what the customers were doing on the site. This includes Google Analytics information but I also installed software which will record and track users movements including their mouse movements and clicks.
On analysis of the data it was clear that users weren't sure exactly where to go on the site, which options were available of that were just text. It had a huge header, menu and slider that were doing nothing to help the user get to the products.
Planning & Production
I then came up with a detailed plan on Trello outlining all the main steps but below is basically the steps I took:
- Create a mirror site to work on so not to disrupt the main site.
- Redesign the header
- Redesign the menus
- Make sure all is fully mobile responsive
- Install better grid system (Based on bootstrap)
- Redesign top section of the home page
- Redesign top sections of the categories
- Redesign Layered Navigation
- Redesign Product pages
The rest of the site was ok for now, as time was also a concern.
As I carried out the plan above which took about 3-4 weeks the site was very easy to redesign there were minor issues but nothing that really stood in my way and before long the site was ready to be transferred to the live site.
The SEO status of the site wasn't very good and had all the hallmarks of a self built systems. Missing meta info and lots of duplicated content and titles and descriptions. Some of this can't be helped but I would always encourage some unique text on every page if possible.
We identified about 30-40 of the products and updated their information and added better keywords in titles and descriptions. We did the same for the categories and added much more information here.
They also had no information pages for delivery and returns information including Terms and conditions and a privacy policy.
These things are key to customer confidence and will put people off using a site if they cannot clearly see the information they need.
Although its still early days I have a click map comparison showing much more focused clicks allowing people to quickly get to the products they want to see. Instead of wondering what to click on. Very happy so far.

By DIANE GASPER-O'BRIEN
Hays resident Dorothy Stieben is celebrating her 40th wedding anniversary Saturday by attending the wedding of her best friend's daughter in Oklahoma.
Then, she plans to do some sitting, thinking and remembering the good times.
Stieben's husband, LaVerne, died in November 2012 after a month-long ordeal after he suffered a heart attack in late October while vacationing in Cancun.
Saturday would have been the couple's 40th wedding anniversary, so Dorothy Stieben said her friend's daughter's wedding will be special.
The Hays Optimists, of which LaVerne Stieben was a longtime member, had an iron bench made in his honor last summer and placed it in the Howard Reynolds Nature Trail near Sternberg Museum of Natural History in northeast Hays.
Dorothy Stieben takes her grandsons for donuts and "some Grandma time" every other Saturday. With another emotional milestone behind her after Saturday, Stieben said she now will start frequenting her husband's bench.
"We go to the cemetery and clean Grandpa's tombstone," Stieben said. "We need to start making going to the bench one of our traditions. I've gone some, but I need to head out there more."
With another emotional holiday behind her, Stieben said it's time to take another step forward.
"All the firsts are hard," Stieben said of the events during the first year following the death of a family member or close friend. "I'm never going to get over it, but you work through it."
Stieben gave some of her husband's memorial money to the Optimist Club, which in turn had the bench made for the nature trail in his memory.
LaVerne Stieben was involved throughout town with numerous activities centering on youngsters, including youth hunting. And his widow thinks getting their grandsons out in nature -- see firsthand what he represented while taking a rest on the bench that bears his name -- would be an appropriate tribute.
"It'll be good for them to get out there, start a new tradition -- and for me," she said.

BALTIMORE—The UMBC women's basketball team (17-10, 11-3 AE) defeated America East rival Boston University (13-12, 10-3 AE) by a score of 62-52 Thursday evening at the RAC Arena to overtake the Terriers for first place in the conference standings. The win was the fourth straight for the Retrievers, who match the school Division I record for wins in a season.
The Retrievers wore special pink and white uniforms for their annual WBCA Pink Zone game, and all proceeds benefitted the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Junior forward Erin Brown (Bethesda, Md./Walt Whitman) continued her torrid scoring pace with a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds to earn America East Player of the Game honors, while junior center Topé Obajolu (Randallstown, Md./Archbishop Carroll) netted 17 points.
With the Terriers leading, 5-4, at the 16:06 mark, the Retrievers went on a 17-5 run over the next nine minutes to take a 22-10 advantage. After alternating baskets, UMBC used another 10-0 run to go up by 20 points, 34-14, with 1:51 remaining in the first period. The Retrievers led, 36-19, at halftime.
Obajolu scored 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting in the first half to lead all scorers. UMBC shot 45.5 percent (15-for-33) in the period while holding the Terriers to just 29.6 percent (8-for-27) from the floor.
BU scored the first six points of the second stanza on back-to-back 3-pointers by guard Alex Young and forward Caroline Stewart to cut it to 11, 26-25, just 90 seconds into the period, but the Retrievers went on a 16-6 run to take a game-high 21-point lead, 52-31, with 9:49 to go.
But the Terriers made it interesting, scoring 11 straight points over the next three minutes to cut their deficit to just 10 points, 52-42. Young scored nine points during that stretch.
After UMBC sophomore guard Kristin Coles (Charles Town, W.Va./Notre Dame Academy/American) put the Retrievers back up by 13 with 5:24 to go, BU scored another seven in a row to pull to within six, 55-49, with 1:02 remaining, but UMBC knocked down seven of eight foul shots in the final 54 seconds to seal the victory.
Coles provided a spark off the bench for the Retrievers, scoring nine points on 4-of-6 shooting. Senior forward Meghan Colabella (Upper Montclair, N.J./Montclair) stuffed the stat sheet with eight points, 10 rebounds, three assists and a career-high five blocks, while junior guard Michelle Kurowski (Hicksville, N.Y./Hicksville) added eight points, seven boards, four assists and four steals.
Stewart earned her team's Player of the Game honor with 16 points, while Young tallied 13 points and forward Kerry Cashman pulled down a game-high 12 rebounds.
UMBC outrebounded Boston U., 45-33.
The Retrievers return to action on Sunday, Feb. 20, when they visit America East rival Hartford. The game will be televised live on MASN at 1 p.m.
Notes: UMBC's 17 victories match the school's Division I record for wins in a season, originally set in 1990-91… After starting the season 1-5, the Retrievers are 16-5 in their last 21 contests… UMBC is 11-1 at the RAC this season, also matching the 1990-91 team's Division I record for home victories in a season.

Worldwide, over 220 million people are suffering from IBS. If you're one of them, find out what you can do about it…
A Serious Warning Signal
Dear friends,
IBS. Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The symptoms are certainly nothing to laugh about…
IBS is far more widespread than you might believe. As many as 20% of the adult population, or one in five people, have or will eventually experience symptoms of IBS, making it one of the most common medically diagnosed disorders.
Occurring more often in women than in men, it can begin before the age of 35 in about 50% of people.
First off, Irritable Bowel Syndrome isn't caused by stress or anxiety. In fact, the large intestine of IBS sufferers often looks perfectly healthy. But the spasms, the cramps, the embarrassing gas are anything but a sign of health.
The medical term for IBS is Dysbiosis – meaning a change in the type of intestinal bacteria.
Our digestive tracts are inhabited by billions of bacteria, with our gut providing the "prime real estate" for them to both grow and thrive.
There are "good" bacteria (like lactobacillus) and "bad" bacteria (like E. coli and numerous others) taking up residence in our intestines.
Entering our body immediately after birth, good bacteria act in a symbiotic relationship with us - their human host.
We give them room and board. In return, the good bacteria helps us with metabolism and digestion. Vitamin K and biotin production, in particular, are accomplished by beneficial gut bacteria.
My name is Dr. Andrew Jones, Senior Medical Advisor of the Women's Health Institute of Texas - a forward looking think-tank exploring the root causes of modern day illnesses. Perhaps you've heard me on the radio – addressing millions like you suffering from a host of health issues.
WHI's mission is to increase the understanding of debilitating diseases based on the principles of natural healing, nutrition and holistic medical practices. The WHI thoughtfully considers new, natural and even controversial non-mainstream alternate methods for addressing health and wellness issues concerning us in the 21st century.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is one of more widespread conditions we've been focusing our attention upon.
As you just read, your gut provides a paradise environment for bacteria (both good & bad) to live in. But your "good" bacteria are pretty territorial and fight off unwanted neighbors.
However, our modern day way of living is stacking the deck against good intestinal health…
These are just a sampling of what can kill off the good bacteria, inhibit your body's ability to fight off bad bacteria or just plain provide an overwhelming feeding frenzy for the bad guys to set up shop.
When bad bacteria start getting the upper hand in your intestinal tract, yeast often moves in and takes up residence as well. This shift in your gut causes problems and is the essence of dysbiosis, an altered balance of power in the continuous war zone of your intestines.
Once the good bacteria have been supplanted by yeast or bad bacteria in sufficient numbers, your health begins to suffer.
Yeast can produce toxins that enter your blood stream and quite literally poison you slowly over the decades. Or yeast infections can suddenly flare up in other places in your body – like your sinuses, ear canals, toe nails and vagina.
Living off excess sugar in your diet that passes down to the large intestine, yeast in the gut can cause IBS all on its own
Consider this:
All this sugar is a direct contributor to over 45 major health issues, including IBS.
(Did you know that in a 20 ounce bottle of regular carbonated soft drink, there are over 15 teaspoons of sugar, and in a "small" 12 oz. can there are over 9 teaspoons of sugar? That's for each and every bottle & can of pop you drink. Ouch!)
Excess sugar is a seventh heaven for yeast cells. Just like in fermentation, yeast-sugar metabolism produces gas – mainly carbon dioxide (CO2).
Carbon dioxide is both colorless & odorless. When the yeast in your gut manufactures enough carbon dioxide it causes bloating, cramping and… intestinal gas!
How do you know if your IBS is mainly from yeast? If your flatus is mainly non-odorous, then it's largely carbon dioxide.
Rule of Thumb: If your "wind" doesn't smell, you have a yeast problem.
Harmful gut bacteria can cause acute illnesses such as dysentery, food poisoning or traveler's diarrhea. More often, they cause localized inflammation of the bowel wall, setting the stage for eventual Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis.
Used properly, antibiotics can and do save countless lives. But like with most everything else on this planet, there are trade-offs. Antibiotics attack all bacteria – both good and bad. One antibiotic – one pill – can be sufficient enough to cause IBS.
But what if you never take antibiotics?
Doesn't matter – because your digestive tract is under constant assault from toxins and bad diets. Plus, don't forget the food supply has hidden antibiotics, hormones and poisons directly affecting your gut and bacterial flora. Our environment is unfortunately painfully polluted with all sort of harmful residues.
The last thing you want to take in relieving your IBS symptoms are antibiotics. Yet amazingly, some physicians prescribe exactly this counter-productive treatment!
Probiotics - One Piece Of The IBS Puzzle.
Probiotics are good bacteria packaged in large quantities and taken as a nutritional supplement, which go a long way helping to restore the beneficial flora in your gut.
Some good bacteria are found in food items like yogurt and kefir, but their quantities are nearly negligible.
However, one probiotic capsule (such as Primal Defense) is the equivalent of about 10,000 cups of yogurt!
I would highly recommend anyone with IBS to immediately start supplementing with probiotics. In fact, it would be a wonderful idea to add probiotics to your nutritional regimen in any event – if only for keeping your intestinal tract healthy as possible.
But restoring the balance of healthy bacteria is only part of the equation for treating IBS.Yeast is also a culprit – one which I personally believe is the case for most IBS sufferers.
My professional opinion is that anti-yeast tactics are absolutely necessary for effectively treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
First you'll have to convince your doctor that yeast infections can be the cause of your IBS. Then you have to convince him or her to prescribe some heavy-duty anti-yeast artillery:
Thankfully there are ways for controlling your yeast infections without the need for prescription drugs. You just read about probiotics. But there's another method that can work wonders, especially for yeast infections… digestive enzymes.
Your natural digestive enzymes are found in your salivary glands (saliva), stomach, pancreas and intestines. Each has a specific task in breaking down food for proper digestion.
As we age, the amount of digestive enzymes in our body starts to decrease. That's why as teenagers we can have a "iron stomach" and eat almost anything, but as the years progress we get more and more sensitive to what we ingest.
All digestive enzymes are helpful, but those that digest sugars are particularly beneficial for combating your IBS symptoms. Anything that reduces the flow of undigested sugar feeding the yeast is good. If sugars are digested in the small intestine and don't pass through into the large intestine, this is the equivalent of starving the yeast to death!
Low sugar diets help for the same reasons that digestive enzymes do. Starving the yeasts.
The Killer Lurking In Our Food
Next time you go food shopping, take a look at the nutritional labels on anything canned, bottled or boxed. It's a good chance you'll find high fructose corn syrup as one the main (if not the top) ingredients.
This sugar is being added to almost everything, and is a huge contributor to ournational ill-health epidemic. Why is high fructose corn syrup finding its way into so much of what we eat?
Corn is government subsidized – and the syrup is cheap. It's an easy way to make food taste good while saving money for the producer. How do you think we've increased our sugar intake by over 4 times in just 30 years? It was by this stealth adulteration of the food supply.
Unfortunately it's now wreaking havoc with our bodies.
IBS is not a joke. It may start out as an uncomfortable condition with gas pains and flatus, but left unchecked, it leads to Leaky Gut Syndrome, and various toxic syndromes associated with yeast infestation.
Leaky Gut Syndrome is probably the first step towards the production of auto-antibodies and chronic inflammatory diseases ranging from:
IBS is also the forerunner of truly awful inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. No doubt it's the pre-disposer towards polyps and colon cancer, as well.
Your gut is probably one of the most important organs in your body. Your entire body depends on the food it gets and how it's digested. Your lifetime of health or chronic disease hangs in the balance at this point in the digestive process.
IBS is just a symptom of your digestive process going wrong. Think of it as an early warning sign of impending bad things to come. This is why IBS is associated so heavily with the other chronic diseases mentioned above.
If you are living anything near a modern lifestyle, then it's more than likely your intestinal tract could use some powerful help, even if you aren't experiencing the overt signs of clinical IBS.
Digestive enzymes and Primal Defense probiotics can go a long way in helping you maintain your health and reversing years of nutritional neglect and environmental poisoning.
Primal Defense (one of the best brands I can recommend for restoring healthy flora in your intestines) can be found in high quality health food stores (such as Whole Foods) or online.
However, finding the optimal blend of digestive enzymes in one convenient capsulehas been extremely difficult (if not impossible) to get.
That is, until now…
Digest +SEB is your best first line of defense against the symptoms of IBS. This proprietary product directly addresses the root causes of IBS related yeast infections – undigested and poorly digested sugars & starches in the large intestine.
Plus, Digest +SEB includes powerful enzymes specifically geared for breaking down and digesting fats & proteins.
Digest +SEB is simply the world's finest digestive enzyme blend, in any formulation at any price.
All it takes is 1 capsule with each meal, and you'll be supplying your body with all the essential enzymes your body needs for proper digestion & nutrition, such as:
Order Now!
Imagine what a life free from IBS will be like…
Order your supply of Digest +SEB today, and start saying goodbye to those IBS blues!
YES! I'm Ready To Be IBS Free!
Here's to a vibrant & wonderful life,
Dr. Andrew Jones, MD
Senior Medical Advisor, Women's Health Institute of Texas
P.S. Digest +SEB can work wonders for your digestive & intestinal health, but let's be practical here as well. When in active practice I often told my patients to think of a body like a car. Feed it bad gas, don't change the oil or other essential fluids, and continually expose it to toxic stuff like heat, dirt and salt… one day it's going to sputter and fail.
If you keep ingesting huge amounts of sugar & soft drinks, processed foods, white bread and other refined starches – don't be surprised if your IBS symptoms persist.
Eat healthy, stay active and wisely supplement, and you'll go a long way towards having an abundant, rich and healthy life!
P.P.S. A quick note about diet soda. Many people believe that drinking diet soda is healthy. Nothing could be further from the truth! Studies have shown drinking diet soda actually INCREASES your appetite, causing you to eat more.
It's thought the brain senses something sweet, but becomes confused when there are no calories associated with that sweetness. Your appetite then goes into overdrivetrying to make up for this caloric disconnect.

Welcome to our Senior Fitness series. This article will focus on sharing Arthritis information (be sure to read the infographic below from GeriatricNurses.org) and our reading recommendations. But, Arthritis is by no means a disease that impacts the lives of only the elderly. It affects people of all ages, even the very young. We are happy that you are reading this and learning more about this painful disease.
Over 50 Million
"Over 50 million Americans have arthritis, making it the number one cause of disability in the country. That means 1 in every 5 adults, 300,000 children and countless families. … The first steps in conquering arthritis are learning the facts, understanding your condition and knowing that help is by your side."
∼ Source: Arthritis.Org
We hope you find this information helps you find resources to help you *or a loved one. This information is intended to help you formulate questions to ask your doctor and is NOT medical advice. Your Doctor is your best source of information and guidance, and should be your first course of action.
Arthritis?! Now What?
I was recently diagnosed with arthritis of the hip (Osteoarthritis or OA), my doctor provided two pages of information about hip and/or knee arthritis but I wanted to learn more. Yes, it's a common term I'd heard all my life, but I never KNEW anything about it – other than it hurts. So, after a few days of this diagnosis sinking in, I began to think of lots of questions so I'm doing more research to learn about this condition – what it is and what it is not. My next appointment is in 3 months so hope to get all my questions formulated by then.
Researching the topic of Arthritis has been interesting and informative! I haven't found the exercises (I'm still researching for specifics) but instead found a lot of useful information – but I'm interested in exercises for OA of the Hip so that's going to take a little longer, but I did find some generally useful guidelines for anyone with arthritis that I wanted to share with you:
- Avoid foods that may cause inflammation – sugar, MSG, saturated fats, trans fats, refined carbs, gluten and casein, aspartame, alcohol, Omega 6 Fatty Acids (check labels)
- Best foods to eat – fish, soy, extra virgin olive oil, cherries, low-fat dairy products, broccoli, green tea, citrus, whole grains, beans, garlic, nuts
- Avoid putting too much pressure on the joints (avoid jolting the joint by jumping) – excess weight puts pressure on your joints
- Weather has its effects (see below)
- Exercise – strengthen your muscles to support your joints
- Weight loss and exercise are recommended for osteoarthritis
Types of Arthritis
It's common for people to think that arthritis is a condition that affects seniors, but that is far from reality. Certain types of arthritis does affect seniors more than others, but it is by no means a disease that targets people of a certain age.
There are more than 100 different forms of arthritis. Arthritis may arise from aging, damage to the articular cartilage, autoimmune diseases, bacterial or viral infections, or unknown (probably genetic) causes.
∼ Source: openstax CNX cnx.org
Here are some examples of the different types of arthritis. You can find the full list on the Arthritis Foundation website – they are also a great source of information for you.
Bursitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Gout, Lupus, Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, Pediatric Rheumatic Diseases, Rheumatic Fever, Spinal Stenosis and Tendonitis, to name just a few.
Exercise is key to maintaining good quality of life so be sure to check this valuable resource for understanding exercise limitations for your specific type of Arthritis *(or someone you love): Arthritis.org/…/Your-Exercise-Solution/
About Arthritis
Arthritis is a general term for conditions that affect the joints and surrounding tissues. Joints are places in the body where bones come together, such as the knees, wrists, fingers, toes, and hips. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
(OA) is a painful, degenerative joint disease that often involves the hips, knees, neck, lower back, or small joints of the hands. OA usually develops in joints that are injured by repeated overuse from performing a particular task or playing a favorite sport or from carrying around excess body weight.
Eventually this injury or repeated impact thins or wears away the cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones in the joint. As a result of the thin cartilage, the bones rub together, causing a grating sensation. Joint flexibility is reduced, bony spurs develop, and the joint swells. Usually, the first symptom of OA is pain that worsens following exercise or immobility.
Treatment usually includes analgesics, topical creams, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (known as NSAIDs); appropriate exercises or physical therapy; joint splinting; or joint replacement surgery for seriously damaged larger joints, such as the knee or hip.
Rheumatoid arthritis
(RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that usually involves various joints in the fingers, thumbs, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, feet, and ankles. An autoimmune disease is one in which the body releases enzymes that attack its own healthy tissues. In RA, these enzymes destroy the linings of joints. This causes pain, swelling, stiffness, malformation, and reduced movement and function.
People with RA also may have systemic symptoms, such as fatigue, fever, weight loss, eyeinflammation, anemia, subcutaneousnodules (bumps under the skin), or pleurisy (a lung inflammation).
Although osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are two very different medical conditions with little in common, the similarity of their names causes great confusion. These conditions develop differently, have different symptoms, are diagnosed differently, and are treated differently. NIH – National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases
Weather & Arthritis
People with arthritis often claim they can predict the weather, based on their joint pain level, and with good reason. Studies show that weather may contribute to increased pain. Watch for any changes in:
- Barometric pressure (especially falling)
- Temperature (especially lowering)
Be sure to visit the Arthritis Foundation, enter your zip code and see the Current Arthritis Index for your location.

We've long argued in this space that the vote for president is unlike any other vote you make in politics -- it's far less centered on a specific set of policies than it is on how you feel about the candidate.
"Feel" is, of course, a difficult term to quantify as it widely varies for each of us based on our own experiences, biases and so on and so forth. But, feel matters when it comes to voting for president. Time after time, the candidate who voters felt understood them better and made them feel good about their lives and the country has won the presidency. Barack Obama was hope and change, John McCain was more of the same. George W. Bush was steady leadership. John Kerry was out-of-touch elitism. You get the idea.
Now, thanks to Hannah Davis and Sarah Hallacher, we have an amazing infographic that, using data compiled from the American National Election Studies, details how voters felt about each of the presidential candidates from 1984 through 2008 -- with happy/sad faces to go along with each election. (The options given voters were: "angry", "afraid", "proud" and "hopeful".)
Our favorite? The 2000 election in which people felt generally blah about Al Gore and George W. Bush. Which is basically how we remember it.

Message from the Director General
2 February 2012
Kathmandu, Nepal
ICIMOD, as it celebrates the World Wetlands Day, reflects on its long history of working with Himalayan wetlands. Our studies have focused in particular on:
ICIMOD recognises that many ethnic communities across the HKH derive their daily basic needs from wetlands whether from farming, fishing, ferrying, panning minerals, or tourism. Wetlands are an important ecosystem directly influencing peoples livelihoods, cultures, and traditions. ICIMOD makes multiple efforts to promote effective conservation and management of wetlands across the HKH.
TheHKH region, when implemented in an environmentally responsible manner, can play an important role in contributing to livelihoods and sustaining ecosystems and biodiversity. However, tourism is only one of the services wetlands provide; we must not forget the many others. Wetlands are sources of perennial water. They help maintain the water cycle, replenish the soil, and store carbon. They provide habitat for a large number of uniquely adapted birds, animals, and plants, including crops and wild edible species. In many cultures they are also considered a sacred abode of deities and supernatural powers.
This year ICIMOD, in coordination with the Department of National Park and Wildlife Conservation in Nepal, is celebrating the day with a small-scale awareness programme for schoolchildren at Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, organised by some of our staff and interns from TERI University. In celebratingHKH and of the world, with their unique environment, biodiversity, and cultural associations, will continue to be an ideal place for responsible tourism. Some of the important and picturesque wetlands in the HKH region worth a visit include Kurumbar in Pakistan; Wular, Hokarsar, and Tso Moriri in India; Manasarovar Lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China; Rara Lake, Tse Phoksundo, Ghora-Ghori, and Koshi Tappu in Nepal; and Phobjikha in Bhutan, to name a few.
With this note, I encourage you all to visit your nearest wetland, and to resolve to conserve the important values we receive from wetlands.
With best wishes,
David Molden

Sad News regarding the Makaibari Tea Estate
Makaibari Recovering From Cyclone Aila
by Heidi Kyser
Friday, 19 June 2009
Makaibari Estate suffered great damage from Cyclone Aila (photo courtesy Eco Prima)
A relief effort is underway to help the managers and workers at the Makaibari Tea estate who were affected by Cyclone Aila.
According to national weather reports, Aila (sometimes called a cyclone and sometimes a tropical storm) made landfall in southern Bangladesh and eastern India on May 25, 2009. The Times of India reported that the storm took an unusual turn directly to the north, causing it to rip through areas rarely affected by tropical storms. Various media have estimated the death toll so far to be as high as 275.
Rajah Banerjee, CEO of Makaibari described the cyclone as "devastating":
"On the night of 25th May , a fierce cyclone hit us with all its fury. It sped across the vast plains of Bengal, and winds, which were 139 miles an hour, increased its intensity once it was funneled into crevasses of the Himalayan foothills. Makaibari, in the Darjeeling sub-district of Kurseong was the first on its deadly path of mayhem , death and destruction."
"The ferocity of the wind-lashed rain was so great that the window panes turned to dust on impact – there were scarcely any shards. To see it happen in front of one's eyes is an absolute trauma. Branches of trees snapped off easily. Thousands of them swirled around throughout the night of the storm like unguided missiles, impaling and destroying. It was a night of terror, the likes of which has never been experienced before."
Damage to Makaibari Estate caused by Cyclone Aila (photo courtesy Eco Prima)Anupa Mueller, owner and CEO of Eco-Prima Tea, a close partner of Makaibari, reported that the cyclone damaged the roof of the tea factory, the manager's complex and 150 workers' homes. Banerjee added that he had lost 12 acres of tea in the rains that accompanied the storm.
Mueller received a letter from the Office of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Darjeeling, which summarized the disaster and stated, "We are distributing relief from our end, but it would be desirable if NGOs (non-government organizations) are also involved in this relief and reconstruction."
According to the letter, a total of 3,322 houses were destroyed and another 5,346 were partially damaged. Mueller said Makaibari's estimated losses will be $1.5 million to $2 million.
In response, Eco-Prima plans to allocate a percentage of all Makaibari sales for relief funds. The company has set up a Web page where donations can be made.
Hampstead Tea London, another company that works closely with Makaibari, has also set up a special page on its Web site where donors can make contributions. Kiran Tawadey, director of Hampstead, said the effort has received support from Fairtrade as well as customers.

Leukemia Patients Benefit From EGCG in Clinical Trial
A Mayo Clinic team led by Drs. Tait Shanafelt and Neil Kay were following up on previous, promising research in laboratories, on animal tissue and then on human cells. They administered capsules containing high doses (400 to 2,000 milligrams each) of epigallocatechin gallate, an antioxidant in green tea, to 33 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which a news release described as "the most common subtype of leukemia in the United States."
One-third of participants experienced a reduced lymphocyte count, and the majority of individuals who entered the study with enlarged lymph nodes saw a 50-percent or greater decline in their lymph node size, the release stated.
Shanafelt said, "We found not only that patients tolerated the green tea extract at very high doses, but that many of them saw regression to some degree of their chronic lymphocytic leukemia."
Although blood tests can help diagnose CLL early on, there is no cure for the disease, and treatment requires letting it progress. About half of CLL patients have an aggressive form of it that leads to early death. According to the release, "Researchers hope that EGCG can stabilize CLL for early stage patients or perhaps improve the effectiveness of treatment when combined with other therapies."
A follow-up study to this one is already underway. A video interview with Shanafelt can be seen here.

Continuing on with the rest of the museum visits, here are some photos from the Savannah History Museum, the SCAD Museum of Art and the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences. Below is a mural of Savannah right when you head into the Savannah History Museum. The Railroad Museum and the Savannah Children's Museum are both connected to the History Museum as well, so it's nice to be able to see all three if you have the time. It was also nice to put a bench to a memory as the Forrest Gump bench is kept there.Right around the corner from the History Museum is the SCAD Museum of Art. As much as I complain about what SCAD does to traffic and how long I have to wait for coffee when they are in session, I can only say great things about what they put on display at the MoA. The building itself is a pretty great display, if not a bit deceiving from the outside. It is so much smaller than I would have thought! Either way, it was really awesome. It was pretty packed so we really didn't get to see as much as we wanted, but I spent a good amount of time looking at everything done by Nari Ward. It was all so intricate and crazy to think that he took all of this time to find the objects that he wanted to use and then turn them into something completely different. I'm excited to go back and really get to check out the Oscar de la Renta exhibit in full when The Matriarch comes to visit.
Nari Ward
Oscar de le Renta
In an alley between SCAD and the Telfair Academy
After SCAD, we headed over to the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences. If you just want to go to one museum I would have to pick this one overall. It's overwhelming how beautiful it is on the inside. This one is deceiving in how large it really is when you get inside. It's both a tour of the house and the artwork that is inside. You have dining areas and lounges on display mixed with so many paintings and sculptures. According to their website, "In 1875, Alexander's sister Mary – heir to the family fortune and last to bear the Telfair name – bequeathed the house and its furnishings to the Georgia Historical Society to be opened as a museum. After significant renovation by German-born architect Detlef Lienau, whose adaptations included the addition of the Sculpture Gallery and the Rotunda, the building opened to the public in 1886 as the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences." In addition to Detlef sharing a name with Parks and Rec's favorite retired NBA basketball player, the man knew what he was doing with that renovation. Another place that I will gladly pay to go back and spend more time in.
And that's a wrap on Super Museum Sunday. We did go to the Jepson Center for the Arts as well which puts us at our 9 locations for the day. We really did have a blast and I think it is a great thing that the Georgia Historical Society puts together every year. That's a great thing about Savannah. It is a little city with big city aspirations. You can always find something to do if you look for it, and if it costs you anything it won't be much. Our fair city is pretty fair on the wallet as well.

Andrew Levy
About Andrew Levy
Andrew Levy is one of those people in the music industry that seem to have infinite amounts of creativity. Best know (and most comfy) as the bass player for The Brand New Heavies, Andrew is also a proficient songwriter, keyboard player and producer.
The Brand New Heavies began in the 1980s as group called Brother International. The founding and ever-present trio of Jan Kincaid (drums), Simon Bartholomew (guitar) and Andrew Levy (bass/keyboard) had been influential in creating what became known as the acid jazz scene. They have since steered the Brand New Heavies into the current millennium, where they remain as influential and respected as ever.
The Heavies first made their reputation on the 80s London club circuit and were standard-bearers for acid jazz, the slower-paced, more soulful counterpart of acid house that also spawned the likes of Jamiroquai and Galliano.
They got their biggest breakthrough following an article in Vanity Fair in August 1991. Not only is it a major magazine, but also to their luck, it was the issue that featured filmstar Demi Moore posing naked and pregnant on the front cover - approximately 100 million people saw the magazine. Anyone, who looked beyond the front cover and started flipping through the pages, would have seen the feature headlined 'Funky and Chic' about up-and-coming British band called The Brand New Heavies. They were far from newborn at the time, having been conceived in the London suburb of Ealing in 1985 - but they were about to deliver the world some unique music. After that, they started getting press attention and the word got back to the UK and suddenly, there was this massive buzz … From then on, the public and press perception really took off for The Brand New Heavies.
Their eponymous debut album, now re-issued with new singer N'Dea Davenport's vocals added, took off around the world in 1992, fuelled by the hits 'Never Stop', 'Stay This Way' and 'Dream Come True'. The video for 'Stay This Way' enjoyed heavy rotation on MTV, taking them to a still wider audience.
Davenport's departed the band again in 1994 and was replaced by Siedah Garrett who joined the group for their next album, Shelter, released in 1997. It contained the minor hit, the Carole King-penned song "You've Got a Friend" that was originally made famous by James Taylor.
But old-school fans dreamed of a reunion with N'Dea Davenport and in 2006, their wish was granted. The group re-emerged in fine style with a new CD called Get Used To It, including a fabulous version of Stevie Wonder's I Don't Know Why (I Love You).
Andrew made us two amazing TonePrints for the Flashback delay and Vortex Flanger. They are both used live and in The Brand New Heavies' brand new studio where they recorded their latest album.

Federal Reserve Just Dropped Two Major Changes to Its Statement

With regard to the unwinding of the balance sheet, the Fed expects that process to start "relatively soon." In the June statement, the Fed said it expects that process to begin "this year."
