A new year represents new beginnings, new hope, new ideas and ambitions. Some people prefer to use their new year's resolutions to leave the old year and everything attached to it behind and start fresh. What usually happens to these well-meaning–but vague–promises we make to ourselves? After about a week of getting back to our busy lives, we forget all about them. Like anything else, grand resolutions (Eat better! Exercise more! Get in shape!) are difficult to keep on a daily basis. The best resolution solution? Small steps change habits, and new habits change lives.
Follow our simple steps to integrate some popular resolutions into your daily life; you'll see results over a longer period of time, and you'll be surprised at how easy it can be. Even easier: Pick one of these tips to work on each week over the next few months. New habits form quickly and before you know it, you'll be eating better, sleeping longer, feeling more fit and energized and–most importantly–doing it all automatically within your normal routine, with no extra cost involved!
1. Exercise more
Add 10 minutes of fast-paced walking into your day. This can mean parking your car a bit further from your office entrance, taking the stairs instead of the elevator or doing a couple of extra laps around the grocery store aisles. Get your heart pumping! See our tips for easy-to-do exercise on the go and our yoga videos to inspire you.
2. Eat better
Up your veggie intake by making a habit of including one "vegetarian" day a week. Why? We hear a lot about "Meatless Mondays" and there may be a good reason for this. Weekends are usually about relaxing and indulging a bit ; we easily get comfortable with some unhealthy habits. To help restart the beginning of your week with healthy food choices, see our recipes for salads and meatless meals to get you inspired.
3. Tone up your middle
You probably already know that you can't "spot reduce" and that most of those visible "six pack" muscles are already there, they're just covered up with fat. The only way to get lean and defined is to reduce your overall body fat. This means burning calories and eating more efficiently (see above). But it is important to keep abdominal muscles strong to help support your back and avoid back injuries. And any muscle you build will make your body more efficient at burning fat. So there's no downside to keeping your abs and core strong.
Do 5 minutes of abdominal work each day. Did you know that you can do a reverse sit up from a standing position?
- Reach down toward your toes, hang there for 5 seconds allowing the back of the legs to stretch.
- Inhale through the nose and draw your belly button in toward your spine. Keeping the abs engaged begin to slowly exhale through the mouth as you roll back up to a standing position.
- Allow the head to be the last thing to come up.
- Stand near a chair in case you are dizzy when you stand or if your balance is challenged.
- Repeat and remember to engage the abdominal each time you roll back up to standing!
4. Reduce your caffeine intake
Substitute your afternoon cuppa joe with a great tea alternative. Green tea has less caffeine and may help you to sleep better at night (afternoon and evening caffeine intake has been linked to insomnia).
If you are missing that sweet latte fix, try a green tea chai latte, or add milk and raw sugar or stevia or another great sugar alternative to your teacup.
5. Unplug from the computer
We're constantly wired to our electronic devices and often need to be for work, and it's increasingly difficult to have time to ourselves to read, think and relax.
Instead of planning a whole day away from your computer, try 5-10 minutes every hour. Set a timer and get up to stretch, keep a magazine article that you have been meaning to read nearby and move your eyes from the screen to the pages. Have a drink of water and take a few relaxing breaths. When you return from your small respite the screen–and your thoughts–will be clearer.
6. Spend more time with family and close friends
We can easily get overwhelmed with work and our personal ambitions or problems and exclude the people who really mater in our lives. It's important to dedicate time for family and close friends (or time to socialize and make new ones), and that may only happen if you establish a time for "play."
Dedicate an afternoon or an evening at least once a week. Turn off the phone and the computer. Do an activity together that you can all enjoy, even if it's having brunch and catching up. This is especially important if you have children who need interaction with their parents in addition to doing homework, playing video games and watching TV. Get them involved in your kitchen or garden, read books together and take exploration trips around your neighborhood. The satisfaction you feel will be huge.
7. Make your life greener
Reduce-reuse-recycle…repeat! Set a monthly or bi-monthly goal for yourself towards a greener lifestyle. See some of our tips and ideas. And don't forget to teach your children and engage them in your sustainable activities.

NEGATIVLAND: A Big 10-8 Place (+ No Other Possibility bonus DVD)
Seeland 003 CD/DVD
1983 (reissued 2007 with bonus DVD AND Poster Map)
Now includes original giant Poster Map insert! Limited quantity available
At last, the re-re-issue of Negativland's long out-of-print 1983 release, A BIG 10-8 PLACE. Three years in the making, and with ten-thousand-million-billion analog tape splices, it's an audio odyssey through Contra Costa County made of painstakingly assembled sounds and ideas. As sheer sound collage, it remains unlike anything else we've ever made (only DEATHSENTENCES comes sonically close to it).
This re-re-issue comes packaged with a 60-minute bonus DVD of Negativland's first foray into video, NO OTHER POSSIBILITY, featuring material shot before, during and a few years after A BIG 10-8 PLACE was released (and originally available on VHS).
This 1983 album was originally issued on LP, and then re-released on CD in the early 1990's with all the original packaging (wraparound sleeve, 'land' collage, poster map, bumper sticker, hand embossing, a baggy of lawn clippings; a winter version had tanbark wood chips instead). But now, after being out of print for over seven years, this new re-re-issue surfaces, this time in a standard design mass produced version. Sorry about that, but after making over 11,000 of these by hand over a period of 17 years, we finally gave up. If you want to find the original LP or CD versions, look on Ebay and GEMM. And be sure it has all the stuff in it it's supposed to have!

A Senate bill filed this week sets renewed battle lines for the biggest potential change in Florida car insurance in half a century.
At stake: whether Florida drivers can save up to $1 billion a year by not being forced to buy medical coverage many find maddeningly expensive and duplicative of their health insurance, while watching at-fault drivers escape responsibility.
SB 150 by state Sen. Tom Lee, R-Thonotosassa, repeals the state's Personal Injury Protection requirement, makes drivers buy bodily-injury liability coverage, but retains a mandatory $5,000 in medical payments coverage. That last part is a key point of contention.
Last spring the House voted 89-29 to repeal a car insurance system many Florida drivers resent, but without requiring medical coverage. Sponsor Rep. Erin Grall, R-Vero Beach, said the problem with mandating medical payments coverage is it essentially renames PIP and wipes out most driver savings.
Florida drivers are required to buy some of the lowest coverage amounts in the nation, including $10,000 in PIP to cover a driver or passengers's injuries regardless of who is at fault in an accident. Yet they pay among the eight highest average premiums, and PIP premiums shot up 25 percent in 2015 and 2016.
An actuarial study commissioned by the state found drivers could save up to $81 per car or close to $1 billion by repealing the state PIP requirement, even with projected increases in bodily injury liability premiums.
A Senate version similar to Lee's refiled bill never got to a vote in the full chamber there.
Why not? Asked by The Palm Beach Post if he personally opposed a PIP repeal bill or thought it was too soon, Florida Senate President Joe Negron, R-Stuart, said in July, "No, the bill didn't pass through all the committees of reference."
Florida is one of two states that do not require bodily-injury liability coverage, Grall noted last spring. That means drivers are not required to take responsibility for injuring others when they buy insurance.
Two dozen states have concluded no-fault systems are costly if well-intended failures in recent decades and dropped them. Colorado drivers saved 35 percent on their overall car insurance premiums after dropping a no-fault plan.
Senate and House sponsors agree the system needs to go. The difference is how.
"While well intentioned anecdotally, Florida's Motor Vehicle No-Fault Law has resulted in widespread fraud, abuse, and a complex litigation process," Lee said. Since its enactment in the 1970s, he said, "the value of the PIP benefit has eroded, while Florida's auto insurance premiums continue to rise."
Under the Senate bill, Floridians would be required to purchase bodily injury liability coverage at limits of $20,000 per person and $40,000 per accident, $10,000 for property damage, and $5,000 in medical payments coverage.
"More than 92 percent of Florida drivers currently have some form of bodily injury coverage," Lee said. "For many, PIP is a duplicative coverage that burdens drivers with paying for accidents they didn't cause. Good drivers are being punished by having to cover rate hikes, even if they never get in an accident, to pay for the negligence of other drivers and the general PIP costs in their region."
SB 150 phases in bodily injury liability coverage requirements over time until it reaches $30,000 for one person and $60,000 per incident.
"The legislature tried year after year to fix Florida's overpriced, no-fault system," Lee said. "By switching to a tort-based system, we increase the simplicity of litigation, provide more adequate liability coverage at a reasonable price, and preserve some important protections for healthcare providers."
Still, the Senate bill forces drivers to pay for medical payments coverage no matter how much health insurance they have from Medicare, employer plans or other health coverage. But it's not harmless "extra" coverage, as many exasperated drivers see it. It's a source of runaway costs they have to pay even if they never get in an accident.
State Rep. Julio Gonzales, R-Venice and an orthopedic surgeon, said last spring he admits the PIP system is "broken," but he opposed the bill because at least PIP makes sure drivers without health insurance have some coverage at emergency rooms. About 13 percent of Floridians do not have health insurance according to some estimates, though hospitals are required to treat them in an emergency.
What are some potential solutions if the Senate and House differ on requiring medical payments coverage? One is requiring insurers to offer the coverage but not forcing drivers to buy it. Another is allowing drivers to opt out of medical payments coverage if they can demonstrate they have qualifying health coverage.

He has been described as the voice of a generation, but he has been much more. His songs beat to the pulse of our country. His tears of rage are tempered with the truest patriotism and vigilance, his acid humor with a disarming sweetness. His music is always drenched in the colors of hope. Bob Dylan has been an unlikely pop icon, a shy superstar and reluctant rebel, the sincerest social activist and the most distinctive of poets. He has been controversial, iconoclastic, charismatic, and impossible to ignore, perhaps the most influential figure in American popular music in our time. His songs have become so inextricably woven into American culture that it is sometimes difficult to remember that anthems such as "Blowin' In The Wind" and "The Times They Are A-changing" are not folk songs, that one inimitable poet from the heartland created them out of his own confrontation with turbulent times.
Bob Dylan has been an inspiration to singers and songwriters as well as to lovers of song everywhere. "He made us feel at a certain time that it was good to be smart, good to be observant, that it was good to have a social conscience," said Paul Simon, Dylan's brilliant contemporary. Bruce Springsteen, who grew up listening to Dylan hits like "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right" and "Like A Rolling Stone," spoke for an entire generation when he noted that "Elvis may have freed our body, but Dylan freed our soul."
He was born Robert Allen Zimmerman in Duluth and grew up in the mining town of Hibbing, Minnesota. His family owned a hardware store. He formed a high school band called the Golden Chords, then struck out solo during his freshman year as he began to sing in coffee houses around the University of Minnesota. He changed his name as a tribute to his favorite poet, Dylan Thomas, and headed for Greenwich Village, New York, where the folk-rock revolution awaited just his sort of natural genius. He sought out and befriended the dying Woody Guthrie, who anointed the young troubadour with his blessing. Dylan was discovered in the Village by the visionary John Hammond of Columbia Records, who made possible his 1962 debut Bob Dylan and the surprise 1963 hit The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. By the time Dylan sang at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival, he was already being hailed as the very definition of the new protest singer, a standard bearer for what was to come. Certainly his songs of the time justify the acclaim: "Song to Woody," "Blowin' in the Wind," "Masters of War," "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall." He fulfilled that promise and surpassed expectations with The Times They Are A-Changin' in 1964 and also showed there was more than protest in his agenda with the bittersweet "Mr. Tambourine Man"--a hit he gave to The Byrds.
He brought about a fusion of folk and rock and roll--and caused a stir at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival--by taking up the electric guitar and surprising fans not for the last time with a swift change in direction. From "Like A Rolling Stone" to "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35," from the epic "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" to the ecstatic "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine," from the resignation and bitterness of "Spanish Boots of Spanish Leather" to the heartbreaking simplicity of "I Want You," Bob Dylan has been defined only by his public's inability to define him at all. He led triumphant tours with The Band, with Tom Petty and later with the Grateful Dead. He presaged Russia's glasnost by taking his message of protest and love to Moscow, at the invitation of the poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko, in 1984. In 1985 he generously participated in We Are The World, a benefit to aid famine in Africa, and later took part in Farm Aid. He has published poems and drawings, made movies, laid low and come back refreshed more than once just to make us take notice of ourselves.
For all the surprises, the virtues of his songs have not changed all that much from the time he wrote "Blowin' in the Wind." That was in 1962. Bob Dylan is a little older now, but his songs remain forever young, irresistibly touching reflections of the American soul.

'Just write it, I'll make it work': King George III through the eyes of Alan Bennett & Nicholas Hytner
A talk give on Monday 10 October 2016 in the Edmond J Safra Lecture Theatre, King's Building, Strand Campus as part of the Arts and Humanities Festival.
King George III explored through the eyes of Alan Bennett and Nicholas Hytner, in a talk chaired by Professor Alan Read. Their collaboration as playwright and director started 25 years ago with Bennett's adaptation of The Wind in the Willows for the National Theatre, and was quickly followed by The Madness of King George III, which was their first stage to film production. They discuss researching archives to write The Madness of King George III, the challenges of translating an acclaimed stage show to a multiaward winning film, and how they see George III. 'Just write it, I'll make it work', said Hytner to Bennett. Here, we explore their mutually inspired confidence and remarkable collaboration.

After documentary on Muslim antisemitism, German Broadcaster airs edited version, launches site pointing out 'flaws'
Hier gibt es die Doku "Auserwählt und ausgegrenzt – Der Hass auf Juden in Europa" jetzt auch in der Mediathek. https://t.co/AjremV9hft
— ARD Online (@ARDde) June 22, 2017
The Old Continent has already written about the German documentary "Chosen and excluded; Hatred of Jews in Europe". As we reported then, the two broadcasting companies who had commissioned the documentary, WDR and Arte, refused to air it, although they had paid for it.
Following criticism of their decision, and the subsequent broadcast by BILD on its website, which lead to the documentary showing up online, ARD has rescinded its decision. Although the documentary is now available online, it is defaced by additional WDR commentary, and a dedicated website has been commissioned to point out the perceived flaws in the documentary.
After it was first broadcasted on German television, it was discussed. Seeing how one of the criticisms levelled at the documentary, both through text added to the film itself and on the website, was the accusation of a lack of journalistic integrity, one would assume that the makers were invited to defend themselves. This was not the case. Indeed, the authors were not informed of who would be there to discuss it, nor of the critique on their film. Reacting to the airing of his documentary, one of the makers, Joachim Schroeder, said in an interview with German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine:
"It is good and overdue [meaning the showing of the documentary]. A success for us, the film and the concern it discusses. But I am informed that the WDR is trying to turn the broadcast into a show tribunal. WDR wants to broadcast a version of the film with comments. The Maischberger-Runde [the discussion afterward] does not disclose its guest list. We are only aware Michael Wolffsohn is invited."
When asked, if either the WDR or Arte had contacted him with regards to their decision to broadcast the film, Schroeder said:
"Neither the WDR nor Arte have spoken to us in the last six months. Despite this, the WDR has been spreading rumours about defects to the film for the last two weeks. We were asked to answer a catalogue of fifteen questions from the WDR about the film, sent to us last week, within three days. We received no communication with regards to it. I am debating, to publish the catalogue with our answers. We have nothing to hide."
After the broadcasting, Schroeder did an interview with website Die Achse des Guten (Axis of Good), who have put the interview on YouTube.
The presenter makes the statement, while introducing the subject, that
"Anyone who makes a film about andti-semitism for a German public broadcaster nowadays, should do so "with an open mind". Apparently, one should also draw attention to arguments in favour of anti-semitism. Not so long ago, this would have been as absurd as demanding a morally neutral evaluation of national socialism. However, taking position against anti-semitism and anti-semites could land you in a lot of trouble in Germany today. "
During the interview, Schroeder says that he feels Arte would have liked the documentary to focus on 'right-wing' anti-semitism, neo-Nazi's and Auschwitz. Such an approach, he feels, would not have disturbed anybody. He aimed, however, at exposing the
"left-wing anti-semitism that has become mainstream and Muslim anti-semitism which is seeping into the mainstream."
Schroeder vehemently protests the fact that there is no place for his opinions to be heard on a public broadcasting network. Special attention is given to the criticism he has received for his portrayal of Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas, currently in the 12th year of his 4 year term as Palestinian president, is quoted from a speech he gave at the European Parliament in 2016:
"I'd also like to say that certain rabi's in Israel have said very clearly, and they have said it very clearly to their government, that our water should be poisoned in order to have Palestinians killed. That is provocation, that is an incitation to commit a crime and we are against this sort of call for violence, this kind of incitation."
The WDR took exception to the comment on the quote was placed. This commentary places it in the context of the centuries old anti-semitic lie that the Jews poison wells. The WDR now defend Abbas by saying that he did not use the word well, does not say that the
The WDR now defend Abbas by saying that he did not use the word well, does not say that the rabbi's are "planning" to poison the water and that the quote does not speak of 'stealing land'. The WDR says that:
"from this interpretation is derived that the speech of Abbas is part of a tradition, that has accused the Jews since the the Middle Ages of poisoning wells in order to 'expropriate, expel and assasinate them'. Abbas in his speech, from which the commentary wants to isolate certain citations, also speaks of the goal of a peaceful coexistene of the two states of Israel and Palestine."
Anyone who listens to the speech, will hear Abbas loudly condemning Israel for a considerable length of time. The link with the Medieval well-libel was made by others, like the New York Times, not just by the documentary's makers. Still, it is hard to see how a lie that amounts to an accusation of genocide would be excused by talking about peace. Why would the WRD try and defend something so indefensible?

I want to encourage people to cling to Jesus and dare to trust Him because He is the only One that can be trusted with our greatest dreams. I started writing when i was eleven and found my journal to be a safe place to mark my observations, and later.. my prayers and HIS answers. I am passionate about passing hope around and sharing the transforming work of God, thus the NEW podcast Hope Has A Voice. I am forever grateful for the things God has resurrected/restored in my life. I write about all of those things in my upcoming book "The Purest Gift."
I have two divinely awakened children {i'm still celebrating} and a strong, gifted husband. We work together as a team to flesh out some of the dreams we have in our hearts. Hopefully some day, the kids will help too. We enjoy time together, we love fiercely, and we celebrate regularly. We are so glad you are here. I pray you feel encouraged, strengthened, and loved and that you find some piece of something that resonates with you, that reassures you that you are not alone. Warriors/dreamers/sojourners....WELCOME. I love you already!

The Brush Holders22 February
18 comments
I love the idea of reusing candles for brush holders, I've had some gorgeous candles before but never known how to get out the wax. My brushes currently live in a cath kidston vase.ReplyDelete
Love Beth @ BethBlogsBeauty
It's super easy! When the candle has burned as much as it'll burn, I just use a sharp knife or scissors to try and get the bulk of the wax out that's left, then pop boiling water into them and leave them be for a while. By the time you go back to wash them, the remaining wax pops out pretty easily :) xoDelete
I do this too for my brushes - I can only fill one candle at the moment though as I haven't got that many brushes so I either need to buy more brushes or find another use for the rest of my used candles!ReplyDelete
Amy xReplies
I'd say buy more brushes ;) xoDelete
I love this idea so much! Candle glasses are usually so beautiful, this is such a good way of upcycling :) I need to invest in more make up brushes desperately, and now I have a nice way of storing them! I keep mine in a pretty bucket at the momentReplyDelete
beth | babbleswithbeth.blogspot.co.ukReplies
I'm forever investing in more makeup brushes, I'm almost as addicted to them as makeup itself! xoDelete
This is just a cool idea and I've been storing my brushes in a pretty tin I bought and until they don't fit I'll think of something but since I don't burn candles.ReplyDelete

I love the candle jars you are using! They have such a lovely finish. I've used mason jars before, but had to upgrade! The brush addiction is real lolReplyDelete

Thank you Becky! I adore pretty candles :) Haha, yes it is! Forever adding to my brush collection xoDelete
It's a really good idea as some candle jars are so pretty you don't want to throw them, especially if you dropped £40 on the candle to begin with :) xxReplyDelete
Magpie JasmineReplies
Definitely! It makes me feel like I'm getting more for my money haha xoDelete
This is such a great idea! I never thought of ways to store my brushes, I normally just leave them lying around my dressing table, but after reading this post they are now safely in a jar, upright and clean all thanks to you :DReplyDelete

Why Women Need to Lift Weights
May 13, 2013 in Blog, Blog Slideshow
In an era where women have no problem fighting for equality at work and at home, it's surprising that many still believe that there are places where they don't belong, one of them being the weight room. Go into any gym and the cardio room is filled with both men and women but step into the weight room and you'll be lucky if you see one or two among the masses of men. And yet strength training is important for all women.
As women age, they lose muscle mass. In fact, begin to lose muscle mass beginning at the age of 20. You can actually lose up to even pounds of lean muscle each decade. This decrease in muscle will not only lead to strength loss but it can also lead to weight gain. Muscle is more metabolically active than fat so the less muscle you have, the slower your metabolism. To avoid weight gain and ensure that you are strong into your senior years, it's important to strength train.
You also slowly lose bone mass beginning at the age of 30. This can put you at risk of osteoporosis, bone fractures and other injuries. Strength training has been proven to increase bone density, regardless of your age.
If you're looking to lose weight, it is even more important that you introduce weight training to your regimen. Studies show that when women diet, up to 30 percent of their weight loss comes from water, muscle and bone. The only way to counter this muscle and bone loss is through strength training.
Contrary to popular beliefs, women will not look like Arnold Schwarzenegger if they lift weights. Unless they are doing super heavy weights and supplementing with anabolic steroids, they'll rarely gain more than two pounds of muscle a month, and that usually slows down as you continue to lift weights.
The Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines recommend that adults perform strength training activities for all major muscle groups at least two times per week. If you can stick to these guidelines, you'll reduce bone and muscle loss, increase your strength and help ensure that you can live an independent life well into your retirement years.

A few Friends of Unfair Park have asked in recent weeks whatever became of that trial concerning Lucresia Mayorga Santamaria's allegations that Preston Hollow Elementary School's teachers and its principal, Teresa Parker, were involved in illegally segregating the Hispanic and African-American students from the white neighborhood kids. After all, the trial, during which superintendent Michael Hinojosa testified, took place in August, before the kiddos went back to school. Even though it escaped the attention of Dallas' Only Daily, surely something's happened.
Actually, not so much. U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay promised in the middle of September to hand down a ruling by the end of last month. He didn't. On September 11, he wrote that "the issues in this case are much too important for a hurried decision"; better to be right than rushed, he said. Then, last week, he wrote in court documents that he's close to a decision, but he got bogged down in an issue involving the PTA brochure sent to prospective parents in which Hispanic students were left out of the picture. Literally. He said he only had a copy but needed the original. OK. Swell. So, when's the decision coming down? Well, Lindsay can't comment on the trial, of course, but his staff says he's got law clerks working on the case, and that it should be coming down any day now.
Which suits Santamaria's attorney just fine. His name's David Hinojosa, and he's the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund attorney who filed the suit in April. In his opening arguments, he accused the school and DISD of crosing the line "with their attempts to segregate white children into separate classes, with their attempts to attract white students and ultimately with their attempts to halt white flight in violation of the law." And he wants someone held accountable, sooner than later.
Says Hinojosa: "Your guess is as good as mine" as to when Lindsay will rule. "It's a very important case. For whatever reason, it's taking a long time. Maybe it's the Preston Hollow neighborhood itself, but I think it went very well for the plaintiffs in the case. We provided a slew of evidence of the intentional discriminatory acts by the principal. There were teachers who testified regarding the classes reserved for the neighborhood children. There was credible evidence concerning the Latino and African-American kids benig places in ESL classes even though they weren't English-learners. They had ony three witnesses: the principal; a Latino parent, of course; and a LULAC person who really had nothing to offer in the case."

Pain relief ointments are a bliss when you need first aid after falling, getting a muscle spasm or simply a skin disease such as eczema. But, do you get them as easily from the store as you can by ordering online? Of course not. So, Cheetay is giving you the option to purchase anywhere and at any time. Another feature that makes a difference to your shopping is the affordable prices that it gives.
Ointments is a tropical medication that is used to give immediate relief on the surface of your body. They could have an oily or greasy base or could be an emulsion of water and oil. With the change in the composition of ointments, product types change from creams and gels to balms and ointment lotions.
Did you know that creams are a little different from ointments? They have a different ratio of cream and water. Therefore, most of the creams are used as beauty products to moisturize dry skin or nourish the oily skin. Those creams that are reducing inflammation, treating some other skin conditions or allergic reactions are known as topical corticosteroid. They are also used for toddlers under dressings and nappies. Even though these are simple creams, they are to be used with doctor's consultation as an extra dose can cause reverse reactions. Some areas could be sensitive so an extra care is required while applying. In case the pain relief creams expire, make sure to new buy ointments online as they could have loose their effectiveness.
Have you ever tried balms on your wounds? This is an oily soothing aromatic Vaseline that soothes and heals in a few applications. Balms are there to help scars and pains fade when they are categorized as ointments. In case they are being used for moisturizing, then they end up becoming beauty products. Most balms have turned into heat cream rubs. They are massaged gently on areas where you feel muscle pain or stiffness. Once applied, they work like heat therapies as they generate warmth to relax or soothe a sore, aching or injured muscle. This type of cream can be used when exercising as it contains pain relief medicated components.
If oily ointments do not seem to suit you then look for gels. These are water-alcohol mixtures that are transparent in color and liquid in nature. Once they become in contact with the skin they dry off immediately leaving a thin film as part of active medication. Dicloran gel is one ointment that is used widely by those who have gout, migraine, muscle or joint sprain and rheumatoid arthritis. Other products such as Biofreeze and Fastum gel are used as cooling agents for relieving pain immensely.
All ointments in the lists are original and you can get them at affordable prices. So, make your choice and let the pain vanish with Cheetay - your healing delivery partner.

Hi All!
I have learned so much about making paper with hemp over the last 3 years and look forward to researching more and improving my craft while teaching others! We are so grateful for all your loving support. The last indiegogo campaign raised enough money to cover studio costs and the result was 5 beautiful varieties of hemp paper – all 100% hemp except for the rag paper, a hemp/organic cotton blend.
1. Unbleached, organic Canadian hemp fibers
2. Fabric scraps – 55% hemp, 45% organic cotton
3. Degummed hemp fiber from China (light, cream color)
4. Unbleached organic hemp fibers blended with hemp hurds
5. Degummed cream colored hemp fibers blended with hurds.
Additionally, there are about two variations of weights in the unbleached Canadian fiber and de-gummed China fiber papers.
Next phase of growth will be to raise funds for a studio, including a portable beater machine that can be used for traveling hemp paper making workshops.

Animal advocacy group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter Wednesday morning to Hot's Restaurant Group asking the Hermosa Beach eatery to "swear off foie gras for good."
In the missive, PETA said it investigated Palmex Inc., the Canadian farm it says supplies Rougie brand foie gras to Hot's, and found inhumane treatment of ducks.
California's ban on selling the fattened duck or goose liver went into effect July 1. Restaurateurs say foie gras is a delicacy crucial to maintaining culinary credibility. Animal activists condemn the dish, saying it is produced by force-feeding birds.
PETA said in its letter to Hot's that fowl housed at Palmex were living in tiny cages without access to swimming or bathing water.
"These tormented ducks are denied everything that is natural and important and pleasant to them," wrote PETA Senior Research Associate Dan Paden in the letter, which implored Hot's to reconsider serving foie gras.
Palmex, which is outside Montreal, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
[Updated, 10:20 a.m., March 8: Palmex said in a statement that PETA may have derived its video "by illegally trespassing ... while disregarding standard biosecurity protocols." The company added that many of the images "were shot at an unknown location."
Palmex ducks "are individually inspected for welfare and health compliance by Canadian Food Inspection Agency veterinarians," the company said.
"We also regret PETA's harassment methods towards respectable businesses such as ours, which provide farm labour to rural areas and supply wholesome and unadulterated food products to North America's best restaurants," the company said.]
Hot's restaurant, which is known as Hot's Kitchen, offers a sandwich listed on its menu as "THE Burger" with a "complimentary serving of foie gras."
PETA has a lawsuit pending against Hot's over the issue and says the case will go to a court hearing on April 10.

Premiere: Hunterchild Shares Visuals for 'Time Traveling Lover'
Let us introduce you to Bloomington, Indiana's finest, Hunterchild. The group is made up with Luke Aaron Jones and Dreamers of the Ghetto alum Marty Sprowles to form this new group that draws influence from artists such as James Blake, Prince, Depeche Mode and Junior Boys. They're releasing a self-titled album through Temporary Residence Limited on May 13th and today, we have for you the premiere of their latest music video for "Time Traveling Lover." Here's what the duo had to say about their visual:
"This is the second video in a surreal dramatic Trilogy. The concept is that time can be manipulated by intent and emotion rather than just lived through in a linear format. If you want or desire someone or something enough, you can meet or have that experience by taking action against time and manipulating the outcome of events. Past, present, and future all become one with the action and intent you exercise within in it. "Time Traveling Lover" represents meeting your future love half way. Knowing you are heading towards them in time and at the same time they are coming back to you. A meeting of chance and destiny conjured up by intuitive notions of the soul."
Hunterchild is currently available for pre-order on iTunes.

Hankering for a new HTC? Well luckily, you shouldn't have to wait long. It appears a fresh addition to the Desire series is on the way.
The HTC One M9 has come and gone, so with this year's flagship handset out of the way, we're itching to see what else the company has in store. And it might not take long either, going on a new leak that's been circulating around the web.
A mystery handset has been spotted crossing TENAA, China's electronics certification agency. It's codenamed HTC D728w, which doesn't explain much, although this apparently stands for the more formal HTC Desire 728.
The fact it's already been certified means it could be here very soon, if such a phone even exists, that is. As for specs, this isn't the first time the Desire 728 has been name-dropped.
Previous rumours point to a 5.5-inch display with a HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels – that's a 267ppi pixel density. It's also tipped to be powered by a 1.3GHz 64-bit octa-core MediaTek processor, althougha separate rumour suggests a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip will be usedinstead.
On the inside we're expecting 16GB storage, 2GB RAM, a 2,800mAh battery, a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 5-megapixel front-facing sensor featured. It will also reportedly support 4G LTE network connections, offer Dual SIM capability, and run on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS straight out of the box.
Unfortunately, that's all we've got for now. Although if it has indeed been certified, we're expecting to see the handset sooner rather than later. Stay tuned for more updates.

Local innovation in a global context: Documenting farmer initiatives in land husbandry through WOCAT
Critchley, W.
Mutunga, K.
MetadataShow full item record
Innovation by farmers in land husbandry was the focus of the project Promoting Farmer Innovation (PFI), which was operational in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda from 1997 to 2001. One of the project's final activities was to document best-bet innovations. It was decided to make use of a questionnaire available under the World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies (WOCAT) to collect data on a selection of these technologies. Data were fed back into WOCAT's global database. Eighteen technical initiatives were recorded in this way, and the findings added to existing data and in-house knowledge. This information was analysed and a technical report produced (Mutunga and Critchley, 2001). The technologies included turning gullies into gardens, digging planting pits for millet and sorghum and harvesting water from roads. Each combined aspects of land conservation with improved plant production. While several required relatively high initial labor input, all were considered economically beneficial by the farmers. Adoption by other farmers was generally rapid, partially as a result of farmer to farmer visits under PFI. The value of the PFI-WOCAT exercise was not restricted to recording and disseminating information, however. It was also a test of the utility of WOCAT within a project. There were a number of interesting findings. Although those who filled the questionnaires found it an onerous task, they felt that they learned a good deal as they went through the process. One of the main conclusions was that the questionnaire could be a very valuable template to help guide internal monitoring and evaluation, if used from the start of a project intervention.

In other words... I FINALLY FINISHED MY THESIS FILM!
Destiny is For the Birds from Michael J. Ruocco on Vimeo.
Yeah, I know... it's a little late... 1 year, 4 months and 22 days late, to be exact. But hey, who could blame me? A lot has happened in the last year that needed my attention, while poor ol' thesis-y here sat on the back burner, like a half-baked piece of humble pie. I guess my reasoning was "Hey, it did it's job! It showcased what I could pull off as an animator, I graduated... hell, I even won an award with it! What's the point, then?" . And for a long time, yeah, that was my excuse. Despite some coercive nagging from friends, colleagues, and especially my dear ol' Ma, I stubbornly stood my ground and refused to budge. But over time, I really began to feel guilty about it. This short wasn't a one-man show, a lot of great people helped me get it as far as it did. I mean, just look at the credits!
Josh Tomar and Chris Zito did some really excellent voice work for the film. Andy Scherman provided wonderful music accompaniment and sang the credits song. My girlfriend Shannon did the color styling and colored every single background (except one, which my friend Cory did the flat colors for). Many wonderful underclassmen, first and second year students, took time out of their busy schedules to help color a lot of these shots for me when I was scrambling for time. Even fellow thesis students gave a hand with coloring shots too, despite their own deadlines they had to meet. Not to mention countless students, teachers, classmates, friends, and family members who gave me a lot of support throughout my final year of school. And I wanted to be a selfish, lazy so-and-so and stow this thing away in a digital trunk to never be seen again. It was unfair to them. So I finally broke out the ol' thesis folder (which I fortunately did not delete), took out the shots that needed to be finished and started finishing them.
But before I go any further with the "finishing the unfinished thesis" part of the story, let me go back and talk about the genesis of the film:
I started thinking of ideas for my thesis back near the end of my third year. The first thing that popped into my head was using these two characters for something, but I held myself back. "No, no, I've drawn these characters a million times before over the past three years... I want to do something different for a change. Something original". So I thought of a bunch of different ideas that I wanted to do. One was animating to a piece of classical music like in Fantasia, another was resurrecting an unfinished film from my second year, and one was just a little too gruesome, even for me... but after every idea, I would always ended up falling back to these characters. Out of desperation, and time, I decided to use them anyway. But what could they do? What should the story be? Would it work? The one good thing I had on my side was that I knew who these characters were completely. They had been cemented in my mind for a long time by that point, and I knew what they could and couldn't do. In a way, I let the characters dictate and tell me what they ought to be doing, rather than forcing something upon them.
At the time, I had just chosen Howard Beckerman as my thesis advisor, because we had a pretty good relationship up to that point (and still do!), and I felt we understood each other on the same level. He came up to me on the last day of class and asked me something:
"So, how do you feel about thesis preparations for next year?"
"Good! Good! That's a good sign!"
"Why's that? What's so good about being anxious?"
"That means you're seriously thinking about it! You're nervous and scared because you know this is important, and you care about getting things done and doing a good job on it! If you didn't care, you wouldn't be anxious!"
Reassured by Howard, I left for the summer and focused on my film. Thinking of the story, throwing around relative gags or lines, laying out shots and boarding, all the while throwing things back and forth with Howard for advice and clarification. In many ways, Howard was the perfect guinea pig for my film. If Howard could understand it and follow the story, then everyone else who'd see it would be able to as well. Howard kept me on the right track.
By the time classes started again, I had everything planned out and was ready to start production. And at exactly the right time, the trailer for the new Winnie the Pooh film just came out on Youtube. It was that final inspirational push that got the creative juices flowing again.
But there was a big hiccup. I originally started animating the film traditionally on paper. But by the time Christmas break came around, I only got a little over a dozen shots completed. One day near the end of the break, I was spending hours on one small shot and not getting anywhere. Then as a test, I animated that shot in Flash in about 20 minutes. I realized at that point that I wouldn't get the film done if I kept animating on paper, so I switched to Flash, only because it was quicker to clean up, color and composite, rather than have to scan every drawing in. So I went back, scrapped everything I did up to that point and started over.
So I only had a couple months to animate, clean up and color my whole film, and it definitely shows, especially in the clean up, which I had only about two and a half weeks to do. I was originally going for that sketchy 60's Disney Xerox style, but in the end it just looks like a scribbly mess. I feel that I had some decent animation throughout, but my rushed clean up sort of butchered it. And to top it off, it made the coloring a heck of a lot harder to do. A lot of broken lines, gaps in the artwork... it was a pain. Luckily I had a few really patient underclassmen helping me color those shots while I rushed to get others cleaned up.
And like the rest of my other thesis classmates, the end got really really hectic. The final deadline loomed and we were all rushing to get everything put together in time for the April 15th deadline (coincidentally, on Tax Day). Since the sound editing labs were booked full by the film department students, I did all my sound editing using Adobe Soundbooth (a horrible program) in the back room of the animation studio the night before the due date. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to get the film 100% complete by the deadline, I submitted a rough-cut of my film, which was complete except for about 10 shots that were left in the rough animation stage. After the Dusty screening, a lot of people came up and complimented the rough animation parts, because they thought it was interesting to see the rough stages of animation before it's polished, so it wasn't too bad. Overall, the film went over decently at the screening. The laughs came where I wanted them, and I was content with that. The biggest one came with Howard Beckerman's caricature on the brochure. Of course most of the audience was made up of SVA students, so it's not that surprising.
After that, I just packed the film and all the related files in my computer and left it to gather digital dust, which is where it stayed until a few weeks ago, and eventually now!
I believe I've improved a lot as an animator since then, so it's kinda hard to look at this now with a straight face, but I'm mostly satisfied with the results. I learned a great lesson from this film, which is to not bite off more than I could chew. Having fluid animation, full color and a film as long as this (clocking nearly at 6 minutes) definitely took a lot out of me. That's why since then I've kept things as minimal as possible, like with NEST and my upcoming short which I'm currently storyboarding. As long as something is kept on simple terms and executed as such, you can always add more on top of it later on. It's best to work with bare bones and build everything on top of it once you got the structure down, like an armature for a sculpture.
I want to thank everybody who helped me make the short, those who supported me throughout the production of it, and to all the people who begged/nagged/stuck a gun to my head to finally finish the thing. It wouldn't be here without you!

Keep on animatin'!

ILO / NTP / Timezones
If you would like to know how to enable NTP settings on ILO, don't ask, as it cannot be done. Others have asked if ILO can run in a different timezone. Based on many reports, ILO syncs with the host clock, or BIOS. Because of this ILO cannot show time as if its in another time zone.
If you are running ESX on your server, then you would have to adjust time in the BIOS.
If you are running a windows hosts, I believe you can adjust time via HP Insight.
Best to just set the time properly the first time! If time is off by minutes/hours it could also be the RTC battery. Replace that, fix the time, and monitor to see if its fixed. If not then it would be mainboard.
FYI: ILO 2.05 is out, if you're lagging behind, please say your at ILO 1.82 at least. if not upgrade asap. Many issues are corrected in the latter releases.
Good Luck and Happy Friday!

Gasoline Stabilizer
For maximum convenience and cost-effectiveness, equipment and vehicles used seasonally, such as motorcycles, snowmobiles, personal watercraft, snowblowers, outboard motors and classic cars, need to start easily and run properly when removed from storage. Gasoline, however, is not formulated for long-term storage and can start to degrade in as little as 30 days. Degraded fuel leads to varnish and sludge that clog injectors, fuel lines and carburetors; stick floats; and cause poor engine performance, starting problems, increased maintenance expenses and decreased equipment life.
AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer (AST) inhibits the oxidation process that occurs when fuel is stored for extended periods, improving performance, extending equipment life and decreasing maintenance expenses.Check Price or Buy
Download Product Data Bulletin
Delivers Confidence
Treating fuel with AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer prior to storing equipment provides confidence. It offers peace of mind that equipment will not only start when it is needed, but will also perform properly.
Eliminates Need to Drain Fuel
Draining fuel from equipment can not only be difficult, it invites corrosion on the bare metal in the tank and drying and cracking of gaskets and seals. Some fuels are pre-treated with oxidation inhibitors that allow them to be stored for short periods without forming excessive deposits, while other fuels have no inhibitors at all. AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer eliminates the need to drain fuel from equipment before long-term storage. It fights fuel deterioration, severely limiting the formation of damaging varnish and deposits to help extend equipment life.
Decreases Maintenance
Deposits, varnish and sludge that form from degraded fuel can cause important components in the fuel system to become clogged or stuck and require thorough cleaning or replacement. AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer helps reduce maintenance time and costs by preventing harmful deposits from forming in the tank and fuel system, eliminating the need to clean or replace carburetors after long-term storage.
- Helps keep fuel from deteriorating
- Protects against varnish and gum buildup
- Fights ethanol corrosion
AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer is engineered for use in, but not limited to, motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs, UTVs, outboard motors, stern-drive and inboard marine engines, personal watercraft, lawn equipment, chainsaws, snowblowers, portable generators, handheld power equipment, motor scooters, powered farm equipment, powered construction equipment, cars and trucks.
Dosage recommendation
One ounce of AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer treats 2.5 gallons of fuel, including fuel that contains up to 10 percent ethanol.
Before storing equipment, treat it with the appropriate dose of AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer. Let the engine run for five to 10 minutes to thoroughly circulate the additive through the fuel system. Stop the engine and store the equipment in a dry, covered location.

text: In my circles I know a lady that is aware I do not believe that scripture teaches the Calvinist doctrine. To be honest I don't think she is a full Calvinist either, but this person puts her faith in the once saved, always saved doctrine. She said something along the lines, I just put my hope in what Jesus said in the book of John, He lost none that were given Him. So when Jesus says in John …those that thou gavest me I have kept , and none of them is lost… was He speaking of those person who have and will put their trust in Him as savior? Or was Jesus speaking about something else? Continue reading

This paper proposes a novel approach for estimating the utilization efficiency of metal particles to increase light energy absorption by a medium with a nonzero imaginary part of a medium refractive index. This method is implemented for spherical Ag and Au nanoparticles embedded in muscle tissue. Numerical calculations for spheres in absorbing media show that the utilization efficiency of metal particles increases with the decreasing absorbability of the medium.

During my first pregnancy, I spent a lot of time pushing pillows behind my back trying to find comfort. As the size of the baby grew, so did my discomfort. By the time she was born, I was more than ready to give birth. When I found out I was pregnant again, I was determined that I would not suffer through the same discomforts. I started researching ways to ease the symptoms of pregnancy, including back pain. I created this blog to help other expectant moms find remedies to deal with those symptoms that can be emotionally and physically draining.

US security services tracked 60.5 million telephone calls in Spain in a single month, according to a leaked document published in a Spanish newspaper yesterday, as European outrage over US snooping deepened.
The US National Security Agency (NSA) tracked the origin and destination of the calls and their duration, US blogger Glenn Greenwald said in a story in El Mundo, which published a classified graph of 30 days of call tracing.
Greenwald, who jointly authored the article, said he had access to the previously secret documents, which were obtained by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
The news broke hours before Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials were to meet US Ambassador to Spain James Costos, who has been summoned to provide information about alleged US spying on Spanish telecommunications.
The reported spying in Spain adds to a growing scandal over US eavesdropping on ordinary citizens and world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, whose calls may have been intercepted as early as 2002, according to the German press.
The graph published in El Mundo showed the daily volume of calls traced in the 30 days to Jan. 8. Initials at the top of the page included DNR (dialed number recognition), the article said.
The NSA tracked the origin, destination and duration of phone calls — a criminal offence in Spain without the proper legal authority — but not their content, the paper said.
On a single day, Dec. 11, the NSA tracked more than 3.5 million calls on Spanish soil, the peak in the 30-day period covered by the graph.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy last week said he had no evidence that Spain had been spied on, but was calling in Costos to seek information.
At a summit last week, the 28 EU leaders approved a statement which said they valued the relationship with the US, but it had to be based on trust and confidence, especially in intelligence matters.
France and Germany are to lead efforts to reach a new understanding with Washington by the end of this year.
Rajoy said that for the moment, Spain would not join Berlin and Paris in this effort and reiterated that intelligence issues were the responsibility of national governments, not the EU.
Meanwhile, the US on Sunday denied that US President Barack Obama had been informed years ago that US spy agencies were monitoring Merkel's phone calls.
German media reported that eavesdropping on Merkel's phone may have started when she was Germany's main opposition leader and three years before she became chancellor.
The NSA stopped spying on Merkel after the White House learned of the snooping in an internal mid-year review, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday, the first public acknowledgement that there was US eavesdropping.
The review, which Obama ordered in August last year, showed that the NSA had tapped the phones of about 35 world leaders. The White House ended programs tracking several of the leaders including Merkel, the Journal said.

MONTPELIER — City Manager William Fraser has withdrawn his candidacy as potential Town Manager in Amherst, Massachusetts, effective May 4. The New Amherst City Manager was named June 6. Fraser had applied for the position in March during a time when his own contract underwent extended secret discussions by City Council.
With Fraser out of the Amherst race, that left Paul Bockelman, director of administration and finance for the Massachusetts Municipal Association, according to an article by Scott Merzbach of the Daily Hampshire Gazette. The Amherst selectboard's first choice, Maria Capriola, withdrew when contract negotiations broke down, Merzbach states. Capriola is the assistant town manager in Mansfield, Connecticut.
Montpelier City Council ratified Fraser's contract during the April 27 meeting, but he did not withdraw his candidacy from the Amherst position immediately. In a letter dated May 4, Fraser wrote "After a great deal of reflection, I wish to withdraw my candidacy for Town Manager in Amherst. I greatly appreciate the opportunity to participate in the process and be considered a final candidate.
I apologize for any problems this may cause. I have been very serious about this position since making my application. The day spent in Amherst, however, was very important and informative for me. I expected, and hoped, to leave the day full of excitement and anticipation about this potential opportunity. Instead I have wrestled with lingering uncertainty."
Fraser stated his decision came at a price.
"My decision has not been made lightly. Between the advertised Amherst pay range and my eligibility for Vermont pension, I am potentially foregoing a significant income increase if I were the successful candidate. I cannot, however, justify disrupting my family and my current community without being fully enthusiastic about the potential change. I felt it essential to communicate this before your deliberation on Thursday," Fraser wrote to the Town of Amherst Selectboard. The Amherst job came with a $155,000 salary excluding any benefits. Fraser's Montpelier contract affords a $106,000 salary excluding benefits.
Fraser's loss is Bockelman's gain. "I'm happy and excited to begin work in Amherst," said Bockelman, according to reporter Merzbach. And the feeling was mutual, "We are very happy to welcome Paul, a Hampshire College alum, back to his beloved Amherst," Select Board Chairwoman Alisa Brewer said in a statement she read following the vote.
