A forum for Healers and Seekers
Dr. John Nash Ott was a banker who was most notable as a pioneer in the cinematic use of time-lapse photography.
Ott's initial "day-job" career was that of a banker, with time-lapse movie photography, mostly of plants, initially just a hobby. Starting in the 1930s, Ott bought and built more and more time-lapse equipment, eventually building a large greenhouse full of plants, cameras, and even self-built automated electric moving camera systems (the first movie camera motion control systems ever built) for moving the cameras to follow the growth of plants as they developed. He even time-lapsed his entire greenhouse of plants and cameras as they all worked, a virtual symphony of time-lapse movement. His work was featured on an episode of the second incarnation of the request TV show, You Asked For It in the late 1950s.
Ott also discovered that the movement of plants could be manipulated by varying the amount of water plants were given, and varying the color temperature of the lights in the studio, with some colors causing the plants to flower and other colors causing the plants to bear fruit. Ott even discovered ways to change the gender of plants merely by varying the light source color-temperature.
By using these techniques, Ott time-lapse animated plants "dancing" up and down in sync to pre-recorded music tracks. The film, completed in the 1950s, was titled, simply, Dancing Flowers.
His cinematography of flowers blooming in such classic documentaries as Walt Disney's Secrets of Life (1956), pioneered the modern use of time-lapse on film and television. Ott wrote a book on the history of his time-lapse adventures, My Ivory Cellar (1958).
Ott's experiments with different colored lighting systems and their effects on the health of plants led to experiments with colored lights on the health of animals, then humans, then on individual cells, using time-lapse micro-photography. Ott discovered that only a full spectrum of natural light (including natural amounts of infra-red and ultra-violet) worked to entirely promote full health in plants, animals and humans. Ott made a second film, Exploring the Spectrum completed in the 1960s.
Ott also discovered that the color temperature of lights affects mental health, with balanced light reducing hyperactivity in classrooms and reducing negative behavior in prisons and mental health facilities. Ott discovered that even individual cells' ability to properly reproduce in both plants and animals (including human) is affected by variances in lighting as it entered the body through the eyes. A second book, Health and Light, detailing these experiments followed in 1973. Medical research facilities, such as in the The University of Oregon Health Sciences Center (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon, and others, experiment with his lights for both physical and mental health benefits.
In the 80s and 90s, Ott also published a series of seven articles in the International Journal of Biosocial Research, a medical journal out of Tacoma, Washington that studies links between physical and mental health. Titled Color and Light: Their Effects on Plants, Animals, and People, the articles summed up Ott's decades of independent research, which was contrary to the established "wisdom" of sunglasses manufacturers who warned of the "sudden" negative effects of full, natural sunlight on the human eyes and skin.
Further, Ott developed lighting systems for businesses and homes that delivered his full-spectrum light, now available at many lighting stores worldwide.
Dr. John Ott
The Father of Full Spectrum Light
John Ott, PhD used the word "serendipity" to describe how his part-time hobby in time-lapse photography sprouted into a pioneering career in the new field of photobiology. As far back as 1927 Dr. Ott spent his free time photographing plants under fluorescent lights in his basement and filling his kitchen pantry with hundreds of reels of film.
His time-lapse sequences showing flowers opening and fruits ripening were used in several Walt Disney nature documentaries which aired on the first Chicago television station and in the feature film, "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever."
In the course of his work for Disney, Dr. Ott often had trouble coaxing seedlings to grow, or blossoms to form, as in the case of a stubborn pumpkin vine which would produce only all male or all female flowers, depending on what type of lighting the plant received, and which would die before reaching maturation.
Intrigued by the possible connection between varying light waves and plant growth patterns, the amateur scientist built a plastic-walled greenhouse in his backyard, and there the experiments continued, augmented by an impressive array of photographic lights, set to turn on automatically for each time-lapse frame.
Ott was so astounded by his findings over the next few years that he carried his theories over into the animal world. Impressed with his results, Loyola University awarded him an honorary doctorate in science.
Encouraged by his continuing success Ott founded The Environmental Health & Light Research Institute to coordinate his ongoing studies into the way in which light can, in the proper spectral balance, enhance the health of plants and animals.
In time, Ott turned his attention towards monitoring the beneficial effects of full spectrum lighting on certain human physiological conditions. It was about this time that Dr. Ott developed the first full spectrum fluorescent tube which he called Vitalite and which was brought to market by DuroTest Inc. based in his home town of Chicago, Illinois.
At the time, Dr. Ott's research efforts generally met with polite indifference from the scientific community but he soon began to attract attention from a wider public audience with his theory of mal-illumination, a condition Ott likens to malnutrition, which has been brought about by shielding ourselves with such things as tinted windows, windshields and sunglasses we have unintentionally limited our intake of full-spectrum daylight.
Over the last fifty years the "three screens" syndrome (cinema, television, computer) has relentlessly driven the human race indoors depriving them of their natural light environment. Working with manufacturers, Ott went on to develop an indoor lighting system to mimic the full-spectrum range of natural sunlight, and to devise experiments using the special fixtures.
Although people seem to refer to all full-spectrum lighting as "Ott lights," quality full spectrum lighting is now available by a number of manufactures.../customer_service/privacy_security.htm

Photobiologist and pioneer in light research, Dr. John Ott, discovered through 40 years of scientific research the remarkable effects specific wave lengths of natural light have on all living things. Dr. Ott developed the first OTT-LITE® product while filming "The Secrets of Life Series" for Walt Disney.
A specially formulated blend of rare earth phosphors is used to create this unique illumination that looks and feels like natural daylight.
Ever since Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb in 1879, the trend has been for people to spend more and more their time indoors. As a result, Dr. John Ott found, people are being deprived of the natural daylight they need, especially during the short days of the dark winter months. OTT-LITE® are naturally balanced to replicate natural daylight indoors, while providing the pure light you need to see, work and read with comfort and ease.
The unretouched photograph above compares the same print under two types of lighting: standard lighting (right hand side), and OTT-LITE® (left hand side). Notice that the OTT-LITE® you can see details and color perfectly in the clear, comfortable, virtually glare-free environment on the left. The standard lamp on the right creates high-glare, harsh distorted light.

John Ott, light pioneer Whole Earth Review, Fall, 1988 by Ramon Sender Barayon P
PHOTOBIOLOGY, THE STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF LIGHT ON living things, is relatively new as a formal field of scientific inquiry. Only over the past ten years has it become acceptable to question the quality of artificial light we live by and to look more closely at how the human organism responds to sunlight. Recent articles in the popular press attest to exciting discoveries, for example the January 14, 1988 New Yorker, which reported a conference titled "The Medical and Biological Effects of Light." Curiously, the article never once mentioned John Ash Ott, who deserves much of the credit for awakening interest in this subject.
During his career as a banker in Chicago, John Ott developed his hobby of time-lapse photography into a successful sideline. We have all seen his blossoming flowers in such Walt Disney films as Nature's Half Acre. It was while filming plants under various lighting conditions that Ott noticed how their reactions varied. A reprint of an article from Smithsonian Magazine in the September 22, 1987 San Francisco Chronicle's "This World" section described how Ott went on to study the responses of both flora and fauna to specific wavelengths. Filming through a microscope, he found that the pigment granules in both animal cells and chloroplasts exhibited behavior patterns to different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Quoting from the article, by jack Fincher:
"Ott went looking for examples of humans whose health and well-being appeared directly affected by light, and he believed he found them. In one, a laboratory where contact lenses were made, the employees were remarkably free of flu. The lab had plastic windows which admitted ultraviolet light. This is screened out by ordinary glass; that is why you cannot get a suntan inside.
A Lifestyle Consultant's Course in Natural Living - Sample Lesson 105
Subject: Heliotherapy
By John L. Fielder
Introduction to Heliotherapy • Part One
Sun, air and light form the basis from which all life springs on this planet which we call earth, for without them, there would be no life as we know it now. As Jacob Leberman in his book Light, Medicine of the Future says:
"Have you ever wondered why we call the process of profound human evolution 'enlightenment', or why the portion of the galaxy in which we live is called the 'solar system'? Doesn't the term 'solar system' imply that human beings are of, or derived from, the sun?
"Why do people frequently make statements such as 'lighten up' or 'You light up my life'? How does 'living in the light' differ from experiencing the 'dark night of the soul'? Is it possible, as renowned physicist David Bohm states, that 'all matter is frozen light'? Could it be that our evolution in some way is related to our ability to take in and utilise light on a spiritual level as well as a physical level?"
The idea of light as an integral part of all life and creation has been evident since the beginning of time. The use of colour to describe our emotions, physical condition or attitude has become a part of our everyday language, such as the phrases, "You look in the pink of condition", and, "I could tell that he was positively green with envy", or, "When I heard her say that, I saw red". And whereas in the past we have tended to think primarily in terms of our physical health when we consider the benefits (or detriments as the case may be, especially with the current attitude to the connection of our bodies' exposure to sunlight and skin cancer), we rarely if ever take into consideration the psychological and spiritual benefits that may accrue from our exposure to sun, air and light.
Our lives, health and well-being are truly dependent upon the sun. The electromagnetic waves that are transmitted to the earth by the sun sustain the biosphere in which we live, provide the energy for photosynthesis in the plants, and the growth of trees, as well as being the source of the energy which is released from our fossil fuels.
Up until very recent times, that is, throughout almost all of recorded history, man has lived and worked out of doors and been fully exposed to natural sunlight. The onset of the industrial revolution brought about a major change in a large percentage of the population of the industrialised nations, along with the belief that not only was he no longer dependent upon the natural world, but independent, and perhaps even above and superior to it.
It is only in relatively recent history that man has been working indoors in factories and offices, or in mines below the surface of the earth, cut off from, or shielded from the natural elements of sun, air and light, in concrete edifices with incandescent or fluorescent light. Not only is the light artificial and lacking in full spectrum wavelengths necessary for well-being, but the buildings we live and work in are often as not air conditioned, and so we are further deprived by our inability to access pure fresh air.
We commence each day by rising in our air conditioned, glass-windowed houses, walk to our glass-windowed, air conditioned car, in the adjoining carport or garage, and drive to work and spend the day in our air conditioned office under artificial light, which quite often may not have any windows. If our office does happen to have windows, these will be made of glass which, if it is plain, will reflect the ultraviolet rays and other beneficial rays—and if it is tinted, will further inhibit the transmission of light and beneficial rays. We further exacerbate the problem by the wearing of glasses, both sunglasses and corrective glasses. These further inhibit our ability to absorb and utilise the beneficial solar rays.
Dr John Ott, in his monumental work on health and light, has shown from his experiments on humans, animals, and plants, and through his experience with time-lapse photography and the effects of light on the growth of plants, that the human eye is a major area for the absorption of these beneficial solar rays, and that the wearing of glasses of any type detrimentally inhibits the absorption of these beneficial rays to the extent that certain chronic conditions may well develop through their habitual use, and be consequently relieved by the exposure of the eyes to the direct rays of the sun wherever possible, each day.
Dr Ott has also delved into the problem of artificial light, and its detrimental effects in the workplace, as well as providing us with the solution to the problem.
In addition to the findings of Dr Ott, William Shakespeare pointed out that "The eyes are the windows of the soul." When we observe others, one of the first things we notice about them is their eyes, for through them, as much as any other source of body language, we notice whether they are sad or happy. If they are sad, their eyes will show it, whereas if they are happy, it is immediately visible by the gleam in their eyes.
It can well be seen then that it is of prime necessity that we study the beneficial (and other) effects of sun, air and light, and learn how to utilise them to our ultimate benefit, and to minimise any detrimental (if any) effects that could possibly accrue from a lack of understanding and ignorance.
In recent years the sun's effect upon human health has come to be regarded by the medical profession as little more than a placebo. The current medical concept pictures a destructive sun, one responsible for ageing of the skin and capable of causing skin cancer.
Dr Zane R Klime, in his book Sunlight, has this to say: "The author became increasingly convinced, as he studied the available research data, that the highly refined western diet plays the leading role, both in the ageing process and in the development of cancer, and that sunlight seems only to accelerate the problem."
In other words, Dr Klime is saying that if we removed the cause, and the cause being in his words "the highly refined western diet", we would not be detrimentally affected by the sunlight.

- Lehigh Valley Hex Tour Photos (Photos) [broken link]
- Hex Signs of Lehigh and Berks County (Multimedia)
Update: October 16, 2008 -- This story is no longer present in the Morning Call's archive, but the multimedia tour is still available. Full text of original story posted below...
At the heart of a Folk Art
Lehigh, Berks counties are at epicenter of hex sign culture
July 15, 2008
The Pennsylvania Dutch influence on the Lehigh Valley shines through in any number of ways: the food, the festivals, the language. A part of the culture's very soul, however, are hex signs -- the brightly colored circles that are most authentic when painted on barns but also are very popular on decorative wooden discs. Few people realize that eastern Berks and western Lehigh counties are the epicenter of the indigenous folk art form. Though there are a few in Lancaster County, they are exclusive to the Pennsylvania Dutch even there, and have nothing to do with Amish culture, says Don Yoder, co-author with Thomas E. Graves of ''Hex Signs: Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Symbols & Their Meaning'' (Stackpole Books, second edition 2000).
"Hex signs and Amish don't mix,'' he says. The Amish and Mennonites are two distinct, smaller groups included in the much larger category of European immigrants called the Pennsylvania Dutch, or Pennsylvania German. The term ''Dutch'' once covered people who were German or Dutch. Because of their somber dress, the Amish and Mennonites are sometimes called the ''plain'' Dutch. The ''fancy'' Dutch are mostly Lutheran and Reformed Church members. Amish barns typically are white and trimmed with green. They display no ''fancy'' decoration whatsoever, says Patrick J. Donmoyer, a student at Kutztown University majoring in art and minoring in Pennsylvania German Studies. His honors project this summer involves cataloging all the barns with hex signs in Berks County.
Pennsylvania Dutch barns usually are red, owing to the low price and easy availability of the pigment just after the Civil War, says artist Eric Claypoole, who learned to paint hex signs by watching his father in the family's Greenwich Township home. Each symbol has a meaning, Claypoole explains: Hearts stand for romance and love of mankind, distlefinks -- stylized goldfinches -- signify abundance (but with eyes looking backward toward Germany). Snakes symbolize temptation. The Pennsylvania Dutch decorated everything with these symbols, furniture, birth certificates, even Bibles, he says. The concept of using the symbols for good luck or to ward off evil was publicly introduced in Wallace Nutting's 1924 book, ''Pennsylvania Beautiful,'' where he called the designs ''hexafoos,'' or witch's foot. He coined the ''hex sign'' moniker for the images that had previously been known simply as schtanne and blumme, stars and flowers. Claypoole breaks a sly smile when asked if he attaches any meaning other than decoration to his work, probably the same smile generations of farmers gave before they answered, ''Yuscht fer schee'' -- just for nice, the answer he always gives. Yoder, whose book is still the go-to source for information on hex signs decades after it was first published, plays down their mystical properties. He does, however, acknowledge the designs were used on the underside of furniture, the backs of mirrors and on paper rolled into scrolls that homeowners inserted into holes drilled into door frames and window lintels (with the hope that they would protect their houses). On barns, farmers were using hex signs simply to show ''that they cared about the aesthetics of the landscape.'' ''But use these designs on barns to keep witches away? No!'' Yoder writes.
He also writes that the story of hex signs still is being written. At age 22, Donmoyer is poised to be among the prime champions who continue the story. He lectures on the meaning of ''hexerei'' (hex signs) and continues to dig deep into their rich history. Some of the symbols, he says, date back to Norse, and even pagan, art. And it is no coincidence that the hub of hex sign activity is here rather than, say, New York or New Jersey. ''There was freedom of religion in Pennsylvania,'' he says. ''People were afraid of so many things. Even 'witches' were protected here.'' Donmoyer notes hex signs might be for more than just decoration and there could be a link to powwowing, a Pennsylvania German practice of healing using a core group of prayers. The practice was driven underground, where it remains today. Statements by other hex sign experts that the signs couldn't have mystical meanings because they're so public and out there for the world to see are misleading, Donmoyer says. While many can be seen from main roads, many are painted on the other side of the barn, which only could be seen by the family, he says. Protecting a barn -- the center of a farmer's life and livelihood -- from witches, even if they were only people who were very attuned to animals or nature, may or may not be whimsical. ''But witches were not the only reason to protect a barn,'' he says, referring to theft, fire and disease as other tragedies that could befall a farm or a home.
Although the exact meaning of hex signs may be known only to the farmers who painted them so many years ago, they are interesting and worth studying, he says. ''So many areas don't have something like this,'' he says, ''It's worth the time to approach them with gratitude.'' mariella.savidge@... 610-778-2253
The most authentic hex signs are painted onto barns and are said to invite good luck while keeping away evil and tragedy. Some of the most frequently used designs have specific meanings, though there is no verifiable source for any of them:
- 4-point star: the four seasons, good luck
- 5-point star: protection against evil, five senses, good luck
- Double 5-point star: sun and light
- 6-point star: prosperity, good luck, protection from lightening, perfect marriage
- 6-petal rosette: faith, fertility, protection from harm. One of the most common symbols, it is said to be one of the most ancient.
- 8-point star: fertility, perseverance
- 12-point star: the months of the year, rationalism, justice
- Hearts: love
- Raindrops: fertility, abundance
- Tulips: faith, hope and charity; the holy trinity
- Oak leaves: strength
- Maple leaves: contentment
- Distlefinks: (goldfinches) abundance, good luck, happiness
- Snakes: temptation
- Scalloped edge (waves): tranquility, smooth sailing
- Closed circle edge: eternity
Hex sign colors, as well as shapes, have meanings. In fact, they usually emphasize the meaning of the symbols. Although there are no verifiable sources, these are the meanings that folklore has conveyed to generations of Pennsylvania Dutch families:
- Red: love
- Orange: success, career
- Yellow: health, sun
- Green: growth, good fortune, fertility
- Blue: protection, peace, calm, spirituality
- Purple: spirituality, intuition, sanctity
- Brown: earth, nature
- White: purity, free flow of energy
- Black: protection

British Prime Minister Theresa May says it is "highly likely" that Moscow was responsible for the poisoning in England of Russian former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter using a military-grade nerve agent.
May told parliament that either the Russian state was directly responsible for the poisoning or it had allowed the nerve agent to get into the hands of others. London has given Russia until the end of Tuesday to explain its use.
British officials had identified the substance as being part of the Novichok group of nerve agents that were developed by the Soviet military during the 1970s and 1980s, May said.
Skripal, 66, and his 33-year-old daughter, Yulia, have been in hospital in critical condition since being found unconscious on a bench outside a shopping centre in the city of Salisbury on March 4.
"Should there be no credible response, we will conclude that this action amounts to an unlawful use of force by the Russian state against the United Kingdom," she said, calling the attack a "reckless and despicable act".
Russia's foreign ministry hit back immediately, saying May's comments were a "circus show" and part of a political information campaign against Russia.
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the United States had "full confidence" in Britain's assessment that Russia was likely responsible.
"We agree that those responsible - both those who committed the crime and those who ordered it - must face appropriately serious consequences," Tillerson said in a statement.
Earlier, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said the US stood by America's "closest ally", but she stopped short of blaming Russia for the attack.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the use of any nerve agent was "horrendous and completely unacceptable" and "this incident is of great concern to NATO".
Relations between Britain and Russia have been strained since the murder in London of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko, who died in 2006 after drinking green tea laced with radioactive polonium-210.
On Monday, May said the latest poisoning took place "against a backdrop of a well-established pattern of Russian state aggression" and that Britain was ready to take "much more extensive measures" against Russia than in the past.
Novichok agents are believed to be five to 10 times more lethal than the more commonly known VX and Sarin gases. They cause a slowing of the heart and restriction of the airways, leading to death by asphyxiation, University of Reading pharmacology professor Gary Stephens said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin brushed off a question about the affair while visiting a grain centre in southern Russia, saying British authorities should first "get to the bottom of things", the BBC's Moscow correspondent wrote on Twitter.
A British policeman who was one of the first to attend to the stricken spy was also affected by the nerve agent. He is now conscious in serious but stable condition, police said.

You might remember that I got into a little dust-up with some of the folks over at the Great Falls Development Authority (GFDA) a few months ago. Here's a recap: the GFDA website is in dire need of a makeover. Back in October, it had outdated information, was difficult to use, and had bad links. I offered to provide assistance (at no cost – duh), based on my experience in blogging – you know, creating simple, functional websites that are easily maintained. Unfortunately, my offer was misinterpreted, and nothing ever really changed with the GFDA site. But…!
I received an e-mail on Thursday from a new GFDA staffer named Stephanie Mattocks; she has been hired as the new Marketing Director, and it sounds like she is ready to take some action – and she wants help from YOU! Check out this e-mail she sent me:
As I know you are aware, GFDA's website has been outdated for a while now. I'm happy to announce that we are now in the process of getting a new website up and running! Having an accurate, user-friendly website is a very important tool for us as we continue to focus on our efforts in business attraction and development.
Our goal is to create a site that, once it's up and running, can be updated by GFDA staff from our own workstations with little or no actual programming needed (most likely using a web-based content management system). We'll need the services of a consultant/web designer to establish the new site and hand it off to us, but once it's up and running, keeping the site up to date should be a much more manageable task that I am excited to take on.
Here's where I could use your help. We'd like as many local people as possible to have the opportunity to respond to our Request for Proposals for web design consulting services. The RFP is available by contacting me and proposals need to be returned to GFDA by Monday, June 18.
If any of your blog readers or anyone else you know would like to receive a copy of the RFP so that they may submit a proposal, they can contact me directly at: 406-771-9023 or [email protected] Questions or need more info, give me a call!
OK, let's all tip our collective blog-hat to Stephanie! It's clear that she understands the problem, is ready to fix it, and is engaging the local online/blog community. Stephanie, thank you for taking this approach – I appreciate it, and would wager that my fellow bloggers and readers do, too. I suspect that Brett Doney, the relatively new GFDA chief, also had a hand in getting this conversation started. By the way: I'd like to emphasize that I very much appreciate what the GFDA does, and have no doubt that the people of the GFDA are loyal, dedicated, and professional – it's just that they didn't "get" what I was saying – they seemed to be sort of stuck in "Web Site circa 1997" mentality (like so many others).
OK, team: I know that there are some way-talented people reading this (you – yes, you!) who would enjoy tackling this challenge and would be able to kick the GFDA site into high-gear – go for it!

A Guide for International Students Moving to Leeds
Every year, thousands of students come to study in Leeds from overseas. In fact, 4,500 overseas students come to Leeds University alone.
To accommodate its international students every September, both Leeds Beckett and Leeds Uni assign an international welcome team to run a meet-and-greet service. This means that someone will be there to meet you at the airport or train station, and give you all the info you need to settle in and make the most of your time on your year abroad.
Before the start of term in September, you'll be invited to attend the International Welcome Week; a free programme of social events and information meetings. This is designed as an introduction to the great city of Leeds and includes workshops and city tours.
Both Leeds University and Leeds Beckett guarantee accommodation to all of its first year students, as long as they meet all of the relevant application deadlines. Leeds University has around 8,000 bed spaces.
Both universities offer a choice of locations and types of accommodation. Rents include all utility charges and contents insurance. You also get 24 hour internet access at no extra cost.
Scholarships and bursaries
The University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett offer a range of bursaries and scholarships to international students. Some of these are offered by the academic schools and others apply to all international students.
If you don't have enough room for all of your possessions when you go to uni, or when you go back home during the summer, you can choose to rent a space at one of the many secure storage providers in the city.
You will first need to decide on how much space you actually require (many companies offer storage calculators) and then it's just a case of finding the best price relative to how long you need the unit for. If you're enrolled as a student, and have an ID card, larger companies like McCarthy's self storage on Meanwood road offer student discounts like 4 weeks free, whereas others may offer reduced rates depending how long you are planning to use the unit so be sure to enquire before you sign any paperwork.
Modern self-storage units are dry, easily accessible and secure. Most storage firms offer flexible hire periods and some even offer student discounts. These firms generally put a few sensible restrictions in place that on what you can store. But for the most part, it's pretty easy to keep those all-important boxes of "stuff" safely behind when you head off for the summer, as long as you're not hoarding live animals or dead bodies!
Student support
Having the right support available and knowing where to find it can help you enjoy your time in Leeds and to make sure it's successful.
The International Student Office (called the International Student Advice Centre at Becketts) provides information, guidance and advice on a large number of issues. These include everything from immigration and extending visas, to living in the city and settling in.

FIFA are set to investigate Paul Pogba's record-breaking transfer to Man United.
Details of the 24-year-old midfielder's £89million move from Juventus to Old Trafford emerged yesterday.
Football Leaks claim superagent Mino Raiola will receive over £41m for the club-record move.
Pogba became the world's most expensive player in the summer of 2016 with two of Raiola's other clients, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitarayan, also joining Man United in the same window.
The details of Pogba's wages were also revealed in full.
The report claims Pogba earns a basic wage of £165,588-a-week, and will receive an annual loyalty bonus in excess of £3.4million from next year.
Should United win the Europa League, the France international's basic wage would rise by £36k-a-week, and he would earn an extra £255k in commercial rights for the year.
After a protracted transfer saga, lasting several weeks, Pogba eventually signed for United last August and has appeared in almost 50 league and cup games this season.
A Juventus spokesman said they had received no communication from Fifa.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic — another Raiola client — is said to have banked even more from his one-year stay at Old Trafford.
The Swede is paid a basic wage of £367,000 per week.
That has been bumped up to £422,000 every seven days thanks to huge goal bonuses.

Get Your Backyard Ready for 4th of July
4th of July weekend is all about family, friends, and fun in the sun. It's a time to give thanks for freedom and spend time with those we love most.
This always highly-anticipated holiday is often met with travel, gridiron traffic, and millions of people looking to make the most of the extra time off they've been granted. However, you don't need to sit in bumper-to-bumper traffic, or even leave the comforts of your own home to make the most of your 4th of July weekend.
Your backyard is a perfect place to host a 4th of July BBQ full of food, games, and fun with friends and family. However, not every home is equipped with the landscaping essentials that make a backyard the perfect party destination. Here are some tips on how to get your backyard 4th of July ready in a sustainable and eco-friendly way.
Fire Pits are a fun, cozy way to bring the family together to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you live in Massachusetts or California, a fire pit accommodates families not ready for the fun to end when the sun goes down!
In addition, a fire pit provides natural warmth and light, limiting the need to use electricity for the same purpose.
Best of all, fire pits can be built sustainably, keeping your entire backyard green and eco-friendly. Some questions you can ask yourself when looking for fire pit building materials are whether the stones you choose are sustainable.
For more information on enjoying a backyard campfire the eco-friendly way, click here.
Succulents have grown in popularity over the years largely due to the minimal maintenance needed to keep them thriving. Not only do succulents require little water, but they help us breathe better by keeping air fresh both indoors and out. Not to mention, they're awfully nice to look at!
Succulents are a perfect addition and will spice up your backyard just in time for the 4th of July weekend festivities!
Whether it be for your fire pit, BBQ, plants or lawn furniture, always buy locally. Better yet, buy local and handcrafted products for extra assurance of sustainability and longevity.
Keeping your home, both indoors and out energy efficient is not just something to consider for 4th of July weekend. Committing to an eco-friendly home has proven to lower monthly energy intake, meaning a smaller financial hit from your electric company and water provider.

It's been a while since I've done a wishlist isn't it? Since starting my job and getting some proper money coming into the account I can't help but want to buy new clothes all. the. time. It's an addiction and I'm not even sorry. With the heatwave in full swing I thought I'd share a few of my summer favourites right now.
It's clear I have a thing for the one piece at the moment. I thought these two playsuits from topshop would be perfect for day time – this little embroidered one is the cutest, I kinda wish I had it for my shoot in the lavender fields last week because it would have fitted in perfectly! I'm a big fan of linen so this striped number is a winner in my eyes and looks so easy to just chuck on. Onto the jumpsuits and the more evening-wear clothing, Warehouse is nailing it. I couldn't not include this gorgeous playsuit. It's a colour I don't currently have in my wardrobe but it's just absolutely beautiful – perfect for a wedding guest outfit. Back to the safety of khaki, I love this square neck jumpsuit. I've been wearing square neck cami's to work a lot recently and find it to be a really flattering neckline.
I couldn't go a wishlist without a rainbow themed piece, with this tee being a super adorable option. Dressed down with denim skirt and trainers? Perfect. In fact, this mustard skirt would go down a treat! I'm officially making it my mission to own a denim skirt in every colour under the rainbow, don't mind me. Carrying on with the skirt theme, I've picked two midi skirts I can imagine being an absolute treat – light and airy perfect for this heatwave! The two I loved were from Miss Selfridge, this striped asymmetric skirt, and this lovely leopard print one. I'm all for the leopard print trend right now, so much so I might have an animal print wishlist coming sooner than you may think – keep your eyes peeled!
Last but not least is this puff sleeve wrap top from Warehouse. I've wanted one of these wrap tops for a while now but am yet to get one. Now I'm working I know this would get loads of wear, and the blue and white stripe is so classic!
See what else I'm lusting for below:

The more we (Linda and I) think about an emergency bolthole to escape a worldwide economic collapse, the more we wonder if we're not already living in it. One's home is always familiar territory, isn't it? We know who to go to for goods and services of every kind, where to shop, what areas to stay out of for personal safety, who to allow in our house and who not. And, how to minimise taxes.
It's fairly easy for a new resident in any country to learn all those things from other expats who have arrived before, but even so... Often the advice one receives is conflicting. Even married couples don't always like the same dentist or car mechanic. People tend to stay where they feel most comfortable, especially in old age.
Some day, this Island may become too expensive for us, or too crime-ridden, or too noisy. Its medical and communications facilities may become sub-standard; so may its policing. Its underclass and its yard-dogs may become out of control. Its infrastructure may collapse; our household garbage-collection service may be cut back to once a week. The local authorities may become too hostile to foreigners.
I've written before about the resentment that many native-born Caymanians feel for more-recent immigrants; that's not diminishing, as years go by. I am one of a handful of immigrants stubborn and defiant enough to sign their names to published criticism of our government's policies and practices. That's five (a handful is five, right?) out of 30,000, in a population of 50,000. Cayman is a tribal democracy, not a real one. Outsiders' concerns are rarely taken into account. Much the same as in any bolthole, of course.
For boltholes, we have our eyes on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, Lakes Chapala and Avandaro in Mexico, and maybe the vicinity of Vilcabamba in Ecuador if it hasn't changed too much in the past few years. Friends recommend parts of Costa Rica and Panama, but we don't know them at first hand.
Why would we consider anywhere in Latin America, when we don't speak Spanish? Well, we can speak a sort of pidgin Spanish, which is adequate for day-to-day dealings. We rely heavily on goodwill, which we've usually found more effective than language. Hey, we have Norwegian grandchildren, and we don't speak their language. Spanish is a doddle, compared with Norwegian.
Naturally, Norway is also a prospective bolthole – though the cost of living might be a problem. The same goes for southern France. We loved the Greek islands in the old days, and we hear they haven't changed all that much. Property is cheap there in these days of crisis; but we're not tempted. Foreign-owned property would very likely be repossessed the minute Greece recovered its independence.
We got caught like that in Vanuatu years ago, when the post-independence government stole our suburban lot. We won't be caught again. Anyway, we're both over seventy. We'd be crazy to sink our savings into a house and land, when we could rent.
The ambient language of a prospective bolthole isn't important enough to rule any place out of consideration. All the same, it would certainly be more convenient to choose one of the eastern Caribbean islands, or southern England, or Gibraltar, or New Zealand. All wonderful candidates. So is Cayman. Its status as a British colony gives us a certain degree of protection against lawlessness, in an increasingly lawless world.
We will keep all the other prospective boltholes in mind, and keep our fingers crossed. The words of an old Creedence Clearwater song spring to mind:
Bother me tomorrow; today I'll buy no sorrow. (Doo, doot, doo – lookin' out my back door.)

United States Biofuel Industry Analysis 2018 - ResearchAndMarkets.com
The "Biofuel
Industry in the United States 2018" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's
The report helps assess the feasibility of production of biofuels and
the potential of biofuels in the US. Strategies undertaken by the US
industry to make biofuels viable enough to deploy them to the pump are
discussed in great details in the report. We also analyze several of the
leading biofuel industry players in this in-depth in the report.
In 2017, the new US Renewable Fuels Standard came into effect as part of
the revised Energy Bill. The revised bill calls for increasing the
production of biofuels in the US to 36 billion gallons yearly by 2022.
The focus will be on ethanol and biodiesel, with advanced biofuels
accounting for 21 billion gallons. 16 billion gallons is also expected
to come from cellulosic biofuels.
US production of biodiesel in the month of January 2018 stood at 124
million gallons. The production of ethanol averaged 1.02 million barrels
per day in the first six months of 2017. Experts are questioning how
realistic the new biofuel targets are. The biggest challenge facing the
US biofuel industry at present is to expand the biofuel market beyond
the farm states.

"The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them." Proverbs 11:3
Integrity is a state of being of honest, upright, just, undiminished; it means adherence to moral and ethical principles. It is one of the vital elements needed today in the church and society.
It is safe to say that integrity has eluded our society; it absence further imploded the major menace of our society, which is corruption. One can hardly find an Upright man in our society especially in the corridors of power. Now, people would easily let go of loyalty, just and moral character for material wealth and physical desires.
Essence of Integrity
- A man of integrity is always truthful and consistent in all he does. "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much" Luke 16:10
- A person who upholds good moral character and honesty would be elevated; Great men would without doubt commit great project into their hands. Proverbs 22:29
- Someone with integrity would keep his promises and honor commitments. Ruth 3:12-13, 4:9-10
- An Upright man would recognize his ineptness and frailties, take responsibility and make effort to rectify them. Genesis 26: 9-11
- Above all, someone with integrity will live strictly in adherence to the word of God. The good thing about this is, he would get God's blessings in return. Proverbs 3:9-10, Joshua 1:8
Like I said, our society is in dire need of men of integrity, you can be one, you can live an upright life. Pray to God to grant you the grace to do so. When you eventually become one, teach others to be upright.
Nigeria would be a better place only if you become a better person. Let the change begin with you.
Go and light the world. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" Mathew 5:16

Planning permission has been granted for the development of nine new homes at a 2.5-acre greenbelt site in Longton, Lancashire. De Pol Associates, acting on behalf of a private landowner, has maximised the potential of the land by increasing the number of properties allowed on the site at Chapel Lane, following the decision by South Ribble Council.
Situated on land previously used as a riding school, De Pol demonstrated the development was an acceptable use for the site. It currently houses an arena, stables, offices and 40-space car park, all which are to be demolished, and the team was able to show the volume of the nine new homes would not exceed that of the existing buildings.
Experts in rural development and diversification, De Pol was also able to increase the commercial viability of the land by securing permission for nine homes where six had previously been granted. The site, just off the main A59, is now set to be marketed to housebuilders with outline planning now in place.
Chris Betteridge from De Pol said: "We were asked to review the existing permission and were confident we could improve the viability with a larger scheme. Our proposal sought to bring back into use a previously developed piece of land with new family homes, which this does without undermining the greenbelt further.
"The homes are situated in the southern part of the site, closer to the neighbouring residential properties, returning the northern side to greenfield use and thereby actually increasing the openness of the greenbelt in this location."
The site, which has not operated as a riding school for a number of years, is to be marketed by Georgina Cox from Moving Works in Longton. She said: "I originally recommend De Pol, having identified a potential for additional houses on the site, and it's great this planning permission has now been achieved.
"This is a fantastic location for a development of new family homes. Chapel Lane is an aspirational address with a delightful rural aspect, but is close enough to the shops, schools and other amenities, as well as the all-important transport links, that buyers require. The site provides an excellent opportunity for housebuilders of any size to establish a really lovely, high quality development."

My garage is a mess. A complete and total mess. And no matter how many times my wonderful husband organizes it, it ends up a mess again. Now my gianormous car can always fit inside, that is a necessity. I need my car out of the rain and snow, but beyond that you are squeezing in and out around the bikes, scooters and strollers. When you have 5 kids with an age range of 8 years you tend to have a lot of equipment.
Bikes come with a kickstand so as long as the kids use the kickstand that situation isn't too terrible (I should note they rarely use the kickstand). The real problem is the scooters. They can't stand up on their own so there is no great way to store them. The girls end up just tossing them in a heap and it's a mess. I have found the solution and it is quite brilliant. The 50 Strong Scooter Stand. These stands can be interlocked so if you have more than one scooter, like us, you can hook them all together to make a multi-scooter stand. The scooter stand can be mounted to the floor or the wall so you can store them wherever is best for you!
Beyond being a great product these scooter stands are 100% made in the USA and many right here in Ohio (Lima, Ohio to be exact). The scooter stand retails for $8.99 so its affordable too. Grab yours now and get your garage under control!
Product provided for feature, all opinions are my own.

Walking around with no clothes on isn't Coco's idea of a funny joke, but when she sees Dean's erection, she wonders why she hasn't fucked him yet. Coco sucks Dean's cock, then bends over and plays with her pussy as Dean spreads her ass checks and licks all around. Dean then fucks his step-sister doggystyle over the family piano, then brings her to the couch so he can watch her little boobs bounce as she rides his cock. After Dean leaves a huge creampie inside of Coco, both of them lie back exhausted and relax together!

The following is a description of each photograph in the series:
On the back of each of the 40 images, the following text was printed:
The British Village College of Impington serves the educational, social and recreation needs of the population of ten surrounding villages. A senior elementary school by day, it becomes a community centre in the evening, when a large variety of activities catering for people of all ages are organised in the specially designed modern buildings. The success of the scheme, which originated as an experiment by the Cambridgeshire Education Committee, is proved by the fact that up to one thousand people use the College each day. This is one of five similar centres operating in the county.
The British people generally have a deep love of the countryside and country life. Nevertheless, they have in the past frequently neglected to provide the amenities of life for those who work and live in the country. In 1939 village life flourished in the way of communal activities, which centres around church organisations, the Women's Rural Institutes, the Young Farmers' Clubs, and so on. But in many cases villages lacked proper water supplies, gas or electricity, adequate transport, a sufficiency of playing fields, even a suitable village hall. A committee under Lord Justice Scott, appointed by the Government, published a report in August 1942 making many detailed recommendations. Perhaps the most important was that every village should have a community centre. This idea has already been carried out in Cambridgeshire, where Mr Henry Morris, the Director of Education for Cambridge, had founded four Village Colleges. Each of these is used as a central school, both for children and for adults, and also combines the functions of a club, village hall, library, canteen and clinic.

First of all, I did the program, I didn't just read about it.
31 workouts in 31 days was tough, but well worth the effort and time.
Jedd knows how to write good, solid training programs.
My main "take aways" from this were–
- I could handle a lot more volume than I previously thought I could
- The same goes for frequency of training
- My weak spots & previous injuries were addressed successfully
- I could gain muscle and strength in a shorter period of time than I thought possible
- Recovery went better than expected with back-to-back training days
- All the results were measureable and observable
I would highly recommend this program if you want to put on some muscle and get stronger. Who wouldn't want that?

Date(s) - Thu, Nov 29, 2018 to Sun, Dec 2, 2018
All Day
Please see attached updated BULLETIN (02. 06.08.2018) in respect of the forthcoming CKF championships in Durban South Africa
Dear Members of the Commonwealth Karate Family,
On behalf of the CKF Executive Committee I wish to welcome you to the 9th Commonwealth Karate Championships hosted by Karate South Africa. These Championships are the showcase of our sport within the Commonwealth and we are again all looking forward to another successful competition here in Durban.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Karate South Africa as our hosts this year. I'm sure anybody who has ever been involved in preparing, organising and then actually running a karate event knows exactly how much work goes into making it a success – and from the work I have already seen I have no doubt this event will be a great success on every level. It is important to recognise and acknowledge the National Federations participating in the 2018 Commonwealth Karate Championships. Again, the success of the CKF is due to your support. I personally thank you for your on-going contribution to karate in the Commonwealth. An event such as this can only take place with an enormous amount of work, most of which is quietly achieved behind the scenes, and I express my appreciation to all those who have contributed in one way or another. I wish to especially acknowledge all the volunteers who work tirelessly for the benefit of karate across the Commonwealth. The success of any event is largely dependent on the skill, dedication and integrity of the referees and officials. Once again, I acknowledge the leadership of our Referees' Commission. Our referees and officials have repeatedly demonstrated a genuine commitment to the highest levels of ethics and sportsmanship and the CKF is a much better organisation because they have all chosen this honourable path.
I offer my congratulations to the coaches who have painstakingly guided their athletes to their current levels. I give you my best wishes for the success at this event and thank you for your invaluable contributions. Also, I wish great success to all competitors. I hope you achieve your goals and I personally congratulate for what you have achieved thus far in representing your country.
I am extremely proud to confirm Karate's inclusion into the Tokyo 2020 Olympic program. Finally, our athletes have a pathway to compete at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. I take this opportunity to thank all those who have worked tirelessly over the years to advocate for this historic decision. Furthermore, I can assure you all that the CKF Executive will continue to lobby for the inclusion of karate into the Commonwealth Games. The CKF EC hopes that in addition to the challenge of competition, you will find some time to explore the great city of Durban and its surrounding area, and that you will have an enjoyable experience in South Africa. In closing, I welcome you all – whether you are here as competitor, coach, referee, official or spectator – let us all engage and enjoy the benefits of competitive karate as well as the spirit of good sportsmanship and fair play.
Yours in Karate-Do,
Mr Michael Kassis President – Commonwealth Karate Federation

How to Avoid PMI
Posted by: raindrop 7 years, 1 month ago
Private Mortgage Insurance is not always required, even if your down-payment is less than 20%. Some lenders won't request a PMI, so be sure to look around and compare alternatives.
Another option is using an "80-10-10" loan. This program involves two loans and a 10% down-payment, and 90% financed. Of the 90% financed, there is a first mortgage equal to 80% of the sale price, and a second mortgage for the remaining 10% of the sale price. The second loan has a higher rate, but since it only applies to 10% of the total loan, the monthly payments on the two mortgages are still lower than paying one mortgage with PMI.
What if your home value has increased?
When making mortgage payments, most of the initial payments are finance charges. Therefore, it can take 10 to 15 years to pay down 80% of the loan. However, if your property value increases, due to rising home prices in your area or home improvements, you may reach the 80% mark a lot faster. If you think your home value has increased, you may be able to cancel PMI on your mortgage. Although the new law does not require a mortgage servicer to proactively consider the current property value, you should contact them to see if they are willing to do so. Also, be sure to ask what documentation may be required to demonstrate the higher property value.
