The Daily Star December 10, 2018 P
The exorbitant cost of running for parliament is keeping many honest and qualified candidates from contesting, said an economist yesterday.
Debapriya Bhattacharya, a distinguished fellow of the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), said, "We have said elections in many cases have turned into a major investment."
So, many honest and qualified candidates cannot take part in the polls due to high expenditure, he said.
"Time has come to see whether election expenses have turned into a major obstacle to democracy," he said while speaking at a programme at the Brac Centre Inn in the capital.
At the programme, the CPD unveiled its annual report on the Bangladesh economy.
In the past, the think tank had called for adjusting electoral expenses through state expenditure and bringing more transparency during polls-time expenditure.
But nobody verifies the authenticity of declared election expenses and it is not clear whether the Election Commission has the interest and the capacity to do so, said Debapriya.
He said potential candidates submitted their affidavits on their income and wealth, but this had remained as a formality as nobody took initiatives to verify those.
The EC may not have the capacity, but it should interest the National Board of Revenue (NBR), he said.
"Two weeks ago, we had said the NBR could verify the wealth statements as soon as they were submitted and give a summary report."
The economist said large borrowers who are contesting the election had long ago had their bank loans regularised using influence and other connections.
The EC is a constitutional body and for it to function properly, other regulators such as the NBR, the Anti-Corruption Commission, and the central bank should have worked in sync, but such coordination was not there, he added.
"There is no political initiative to address the administrative inaction. Had there been political initiative, the administration would have been more active."
Debapriya said the country had developed, but the poor people had not got their fair share of benefit of the progress because of a lack of political competition and a dwindling capacity of agencies responsible for protecting public interests.

1 cup of coconut water
1/2 cup of oats
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder
2 organic strawberries sliced
3 dates cut into small pieces
1 sliced banana
Add the 1/2 cup of oats to a small pot and turn on low heat. Add the coconut water and stir occasionally. I did not get that slimy film that oats sometimes get when you cook them. Cook the oats for about 10 minutes- no more than 10 minutes. Remove the oats from the heat and stir in your chocolate protein powder.
Pour the chocolate oats into a bowl and slice up your fruit. Add it to the top of your oats and enjoy!
I'm going to begin mostly raw May on Monday, May 5th. If anyone wants to join me, follow me on fb, Twitter and instagram, I will be posting recipes there as well as on this blog. IG: thefabulousvegan. Twitter: thefabvegan. Fb: Fabulous Vegan Recipes

We'd like to think we've got our finger on Melbourne's foodie pulse, and lately it's been beating steady to the rhythm of something a bit different: all day dining. You know the places, the ones that morph from chilled brekky hangout to late-afternoon lunch spot, then transform again after 8pm when cocktails and candlelight take over and everyone mysteriously grows a moustache. Keeping the good times rolling from 7am 'til late. That's the new thing. It's a European trend that feels right at home on Chapel St or Glen Huntly Rd, and we can kind of see the appeal. Now all we need is for siestas to become a thing…
Here are our three favs when it comes to all day dining in Melbourne.
Bang Bang At The Rifle Club
Now this is what we're talking about. Open seven days a week, 7:30am – 11pm, Bang Bang At The Rifle Club is the best thing to happen to the Sandringham line since, well…okay it's probably the best thing to happen to the Sandringham line. Formerly the Caulfield Rifle Club (hence the 'Bang Bang' bit) this place is classic French Indochina, with a modern twist. Up early? Head down for a sticky black rice congee with coriander and fried shallots, or maybe a cheeky confit duck cassoulet with white beans and a hit of chilli. As night falls, the lights dim, the exposed brick interior comes alive and the cocktails start flowing (usually in our direction). We recommend the Thai basil cucumber smash, muddled with Plymouth gin, pineapple juice and lime. All day, all delicious.
Abacus Bar & Kitchen
You can't walk past Abacus on Chapel St and no be intrigued. For starters the place is huge, beautiful and buzzing at all hours, waiters in white t-shirts scurrying around, their arms full of Padre lattes and pumpkin croquettes loaded with goats' cheese and avocado. On the weekends it's open 'til 1am (midnight on Fridays), and during the week the breakfasts start appearing bright and early at 7am. Abacus bakes its own bread and pastries from scratch, and you'll get an unleavened slice of the good stuff on its day menu (check out the flat-iron steak with black mustard seed, bread and wasabi custard). At night the menu switches and the pizza oven fires up. Our pick of the bunch is the pancetta with crispy crackling, pork belly, Fior di Latte, red capsicum jam and jalapenos. Yum.
A French-style steakhouse that's open from 7am 'til midnight? There's only one in town, and it's Entrecote on Domain Rd. By night this place is an all-class Parisian bistro serving up tender Cape Grim Angus steak frites or autumn mushrooms ('champignons' if you remember your Grade 4 French) alongside Gruyère Pithivier and a fresh watercress salad. But drop by for brekkie on a Saturday morning and you'll find crusty Pain au Chocolat (the perfect pre-Tan fuel), fruit toast from Noisette and a croquet monsieur that'll knock your socks off: think hand-carved leg ham, three different cheeses and an oozy mustard béchamel. Audrey Hepburn once said, 'Paris is always a good idea', and the same applies to French food. Breakfast or bedtime, it's never a bad time to béchamel.
All day dining is perfect for indecisive foodies, but what if you HAD to make a choice? Check out our latest Would You Rather.

Although there are different ways of understanding Galician surely "viravolta" would best translation into Castilian "somersault". In any case, on the concept of rotation, I can think of few better titles for the third disc (so to speak, because then you have to take) Marco A. Maril, aka Apennines.
A work in the Compostela (although based in Vigo) is spinning his obsession with electropop sound that has been the watchword since the early days of Dar Ful Ful. In this case, the guiding light that was once the little independent scene that moved through Galicia a couple of decades ago, now gives a twist to your bet (one viravolta) and sings more than half of the disc in Galician.
One feels on familiar and pleasant land from start 'Conversa overseas', which starts a disk on which the political concerns of Marco come to light, according to his way of seeing things from always, more recently, when the Galician artist becomes a very rebellious. And not only in his lyrics. Viravolta (Javelin Music, 2014) is a disk containing seven themes, among which 'infinite pains', a song in which the usual electronic databases have a more appealing look and something darker, far from the usual clearness in Apenino . Moreover, surprises like this unrecognizable version of shrimp, 'The Legend of Time' hand Monica Vacas a labelmate in another time you saw your beautiful voice to this song, complete an album that, moreover, has a lot of hardness, choked:
Reza letter 'Oppression', implying that rebel song of Marco has clenched teeth, and has led to a degree of more than obvious crudeness. A notable disk. Another, in the case of a tissue Apennines has always compelling atmospheres, such as in 'Social scam', making it hears a strong recommendation.

WATERLOO, Ont. - Dillon Campbell of Whitby, Ont., rushed for 171 yards and two touchdowns to eclipse 1,000 yards on the season as the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men's football team defeated the York Lions 27-10 on Saturday afternoon at University Stadium.
Campbell, a fourth year running back out of St. Mary CSS, became the fifth player is school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season. Through five games this year, he has amassed 1,021 yards, an average of 204.2 yards per game.
"It's unbelievable when you think it's only been five games," said head coach Michael Faulds of his running back's success. "What he's doing – and I know he's going to give all of the credit to the o-line – but I'll stand here and give him credit. He's an unbelievable running back and he works extremely hard. He's a good leader for us, and he gained a lot of tough yards today. He popped through on two runs, but most of the runs were really tough runs."
"Honestly, I'm just thinking forward to Western," commented the ever-humble Campbell. "It's great to get over 1,000 but to get this win, it's a tough win and we faced adversity, but we overcame it to take over the Lions."
Receiver Scott Campbell of Cambridge, Ont., also had a big afternoon for the purple and gold as he had 132 all-purpose yards, highlighted by a 71-yard rushing touchdown that put the game out of reach for Laurier in the fourth quarter.
In what was a much closer game than many expected, the Hawks had the wind in the first quarter and took advantage of it. After kicker Ronnie Pfeffer of Kitchener, Ont., recorded a rouge on a 65-yard punt, D. Campbell scored his first touchdown of the afternoon on Laurier's next possession. From his own 50-yard line, he broke outside and ran away from the York defenders for a 60-yard major, giving Laurier an 8-0 lead.
Leading 10-0 heading to the second quarter, the Hawks' offence stalled as they only picked up four first downs against the wind, allowing York to climb back into the game. A pair of field goals and a rouge from kicker Nick Naylor of Abbotsford, B.C., pulled the Lions to within three points at halftime.
The third quarter was not much better for Laurier. With the Lions doing a good job of maintaining possession against the wind, quarterback James Fracas of Waterloo, Ont., and the Hawks' offence were only able to manage a 34-yard field goal from Pfeffer in the quarter. However, the continued strong play of the Hawks' defence kept them in front 13-7 heading to the fourth.
With a possible upset looming over their heads, the Hawks responded in a big way. D. Campbell featured heavily in an 11-play, 75-yard drive that was capped off by his second touchdown of the day, a 17-yard score, to give the Hawks some breathing room. The touchdown run also pushed D. Campbell over the 1,000 yard mark and gave him 10 touchdowns on the season, matching the second-most in school history.
Laurier put the game out of reach on their next possession when Fracas faked the handoff to D. Campbell and instead gave it to S. Campbell who broke his way through the Lions' defence for his second career touchdown.
Despite the loss, Bennett had a breakout game for York and helped keep his team in the game all afternoon. He finished the game throwing for 255 yards and rushing for a team-high 62 yards.
Despite the strong afternoon from the Lions' pivot, Laurier's defence contained him when needed, led by a strong effort from Ese Mrabure-Ajufo of Mississauga, Ont., and the Hawks' defensive line. Mrabure-Ajufo recorded a season-best 5.5 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, while fellow defensive end Kwaku Boateng of Milton, Ont., had a team-high 6.5 tackles and a sack. In total, Laurier's defence registered six sacks and are now second in the OUA in total sacks with 17.
With the victory, Laurier improves to 4-1 on the season and sit in a four-way tie for second place in the conference along with Guelph, Windsor and Western. The Hawks will have a chance to break away from at least one of those three teams next week as they travel to London to battle the Mustangs on Thursday, October 9.
"Our guys are ready," said Faulds, who will return to coach at his alma mater for the first time as Laurier's bench boss. "We've got a really short week, we go down to London on Thursday, so it changes our schedule quite a bit. Our guys will be ready. They'll be excited to play at Western. "
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
NOTES: Pfeffer's third quarter field goal was the 50th of his career…receiver Anthony Pizzuti of Hamilton, added another six catches to his season total and now has 28 on the year…attendance at the game on a rainy afternoon was 806.

Catalysing broadband 4 Africa - ensuring economic and social inclusion

Is the UK really in Scandinavia?
The UK has been caught in a long tug-of-war about its identity, which will only become more intense as the EU referendum approaches.
Where does the UK belong in the world?
Is the strongest bond with major European economies like France and Germany? Or is there a stronger connection with the United States, with its free market instincts and English-speaking culture?
Or maybe we should be looking across the North Sea.
Because it's surprising how often the UK seems to be more like the Scandinavian countries than anywhere else.
This might seem a bit counter-intuitive, because the Nordic nations can feel very separate. They evoke images of chunky jumpers, dark nights, impassive detectives and depressive drinking.
Or else you might think of a high-spec welfare system with more safety features than... well, a Volvo.
It feels very different - until you start looking at international comparisons.
Northern neighbours
As an example, annual figures on overseas aid showed almost no-one fulfilled the United Nations target of 0.7% of GDP.
The exceptions were the UK and the Scandinavians.
But rather than thinking of this as a rather random grouping, look at the recurrent similarities.
Employment figures show the UK in the top quarter of countries in terms of people in work, bracketed alongside Scandinavian countries, with Iceland at the top of the table.
Corporation tax figures put Norway as the UK's most similar neighbour.
In a league table of internet use, the UK is in the top quarter of countries online - along with the likes of Finland, Norway, Sweden and top of the table again, Iceland.
For levels of online shopping, the UK leads the industrialised world, followed by Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
There might be a perception that the Nordic countries will be much bigger spenders on welfare, but the closest country to the UK in terms of social expenditure (as a percentage of GDP) is Norway.
Nordic nirvana
Or we might like to think of Scandinavians as some kind of super-healthy liberal elite, living in a Nordic nirvana.
But average life expectancy in the UK is 81 years, the same as Finland, with Denmark 80 and Sweden, Norway and Iceland at 82 years.
The country closest to the UK on the proportions of people smoking is Norway.
Average paid leave in the UK is five weeks per year... the same as Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Erik Berglof, director of the London School of Economics' Institute of Global Affairs, says there is a clear "like-mindedness" between the UK and Scandinavia.
He says there have been some political attempts to cultivate this, such as the Northern Future Forum which brings together political leaders from the UK, Nordic countries and the Baltic states.
And he points to the World Values Survey, which maps beliefs and values around the globe, as showing how close the UK is to Scandinavian countries.
But as a Swede living in London, he says there can be some very outdated views.
"I've been struck by how both left and right use Scandinavian countries as a model, if not a utopia," he said.
On the left, it's used as an exemplar for a welfare system, while on the right it's used as a way of looking at welfare reform. Or in education, for poaching ideas such as free schools from Sweden.
I came, I saw, Ikea
Nordic countries are often seen as being in a different league to the UK in school standards.
But that is mostly driven by the stellar performance of Finland - Nordic not Scandinavian - in the international Pisa tests, which compare the test results of 15-year-olds.
The other Nordic countries are rather unspectacular and middle ranking, in similar positions to the UK.
If this still seems like an improbable connection, is that because we've tended to idealise the northern neighbours?
We want to think of their politics as being as clean and unfussy as an Ikea bookcase.
So it seems to go against the grain to read stories such as the Danes backing plans to confiscate the valuables of asylum seekers.
Less equal
Of course there are big differences between the UK and the Scandinavians.
Income inequality is much greater in the UK, with Nordic economies distinctive in the much narrower gap between the richest and poorest.
Obesity is more common in the UK, rates of imprisonment are far higher and more is spent on defence while the university fees (at least in England) are higher than anywhere else in Europe.
In many of these areas - obesity, prison rates, defence spending and high tuition fees - there are more similarities with the US.
The US can feel familiar, because of such a shared culture in TV, film and music. But its sheer size, complexity and its social extremes means that it is often unlike anywhere else.
Whether it is health, guns or a Donald Trump rally, the US can be really very different from the UK.
Viking legacy
Carolyne Larrington, a fellow of St John's College, Oxford University and an expert on Old Norse and Old Icelandic, says there are deep historical links across the North Sea.
These connections of trade, culture and language between the north-east of England and Scandinavia, stretch back centuries.
And there are even stronger links with Scotland, particularly further north in Shetland and Orkney.
But she says when it comes to these Nordic links - and the legacy of the Vikings - it has often been either seen in a negative light or overlooked.
For centuries, any romantic ideas of the "good old days" before the Norman invasion were seen in terms of the Saxons, rather than the Scandinavians, she says.
Now modern revisionism about the Vikings has softened their image.
Perhaps it's gone too far, she says, with some accounts now depicting them not so much as warriors as "very sensitive and spending a lot of time writing poetry".
If only they had worn chunky reindeer pattern jumpers in their longships.
Pisa test scores 2015:
12. Finland, 22. Denmark, 26. UK, 30. Norway, 38. Sweden
5. Finland, 20. UK, 27. Denmark, 31. Norway, 38. Sweden
6. Finland, 22. Norway, 23. UK, 25. Denmark, 26. Sweden

Whores on the Hill by Colleen Curran
5th Oct 2010
But no matter how it got there, I can't complain. Because despite the backlash against it (of which I was blissfully unaware until writing this review), Whores on the Hill is by turns beautiful, heartbreaking and unsettling; a love letter to the electric euphoria of adolescent rebellion.
It's told in the first person by Thisbe Newton, a shy new arrival at the last all-girls' school in Milwaukee, Sacred Heart Holy Angels. She soon becomes best friends with 'Sacred Heart Sluts' Juli and Astrid; "girls in plaid skirts, loud and obnoxious, driving with the windows down. Desperate and dangerous…a million nerve ends electric with appetite and not afraid. "
With lyrical language and imagery, the book follows the trio through a whirlwind of school, clubs, parties and joyrides, evoking with originality and ease the self-conscious, self destructive restlessness of being "fifteen and knobbly-kneed with only a handful of choices. [When the] world was small and cruel and narrow-minded and breathtaking."
Although the Sacred Heart Sluts have been accused by overprotective parents of glorifying teenage experiments with booze, amphetamines and casual sex (there are almost hundred reviews on the book's American Amazon listing, mostly from upset mothers dismissing the novel as inappropriate and in poor taste), Thisbe, Astrid and Juli are by no means exempt from the consequences of their actions.
Their reputation is renowned for miles around, and all three of them resort to ever-more damaging behaviour, such as vandalism and self-harm, as ways of seeking sympathy, attention, and eventually redemption.
Whores on the Hill is not without flaws. The blank, surface description that conveys the trios' emotions without being explicit is for the most part effective, but at times comes across as brittle and bitter. It limits the readers' empathy and emotional connection to the characters, so that the soap opera ending falls flat.
That said, the novel's themes of friendship, loyalty, rebellion, acceptance, and the societal and sexual pressures placed on adolescent women will hit a nerve with anyone who has ever been "young and out for glory."
Some have compared it to Michelle Kane's Confessions of a Catholic Schoolgirl. To me, it's the American equivalent of Bella Bathurst's Special (another one I acquired without knowing when or how, but ended up engrossed in). Want to decide for yourself? Order it from Amazon for £8.09.

Now that OSHA has aligned the hazard communication (HazCom) standard with the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), the clock has run out on the deadline to train your employees on the new GHS formatting. HazCom still will be HazCom, but with a whole new look.
For one thing, HazCom will feature new label elements, including the definitions for hazards, the classification of mixtures and the format for safety data sheets (SDS), which will replace material safety data sheets (MSDS). Labels on shipped containers now will require signal words, hazard pictograms, hazard statements, precautionary statements and the name, address and telephone number of the chemical manufacturer, importer or other responsible party.
Signal words alert users of the relative severity of a potential hazard. "Warning" indicates a less severe hazard; "Danger" alerts users to a more severe hazard. Pictograms identify the product the same way globally. Hazard statements describe the nature of the chemical, and precautionary statements describe the measures that should be taken to prevent adverse effects.
The deadline for covered employers to train employees on the GHS formatting passed on Dec. 1, 2013. But if you fear roving bands of OSHA inspectors banging on doors to identify GHS scofflaws, don't hit the panic button. Just get started.
Don't Panic
During my tenure as Virginia's labor commissioner, my colleagues and I did our best to keep perspective. In the big picture, our goal was not so much to find an idealized picture of workplace perfection behind every door; that's unrealistic. Instead, we tried to work with employers to identify, prevent and abate known hazards. And while safety is critical, we were not blind to other interests that compete for employers' time and attention.
Making the task more difficult, many conscientious employers, especially small and midsize employers, lack a full-time or even a part-time safety and health director. Many of these employers may be completely unaware of the new directive.
At least in the foreseeable future, OSHA likely will identify GHS violations incidentally. Often, they will be discovered in the course of a regularly scheduled inspection or when responding to a reported incident or hazard. You should be prepared at any time to provide documentation demonstrating that all covered employees have completed the HazCom training.
What Should You Do?
First of all, breathe. And get the training for your co-workers. Avoid or reduce the sting of a citation by showing good faith.
How? One quick and relatively inexpensive way is to schedule a brief training with a safety or health consultant. Anna Jolly, the owner and managing director of Circle Safety and Health Consultants in Richmond, Va., said GHS training doesn't have to be daunting.
"A lot of employers don't understand that they are included if they use any chemicals, including gasoline for tools and equipment," said Jolly. "Knowing you have to get it done is the most important step. If the employer has a hazard communication program already in place, we can get its employees up to speed within two hours. The training is important so that employees will understand the pictograms and warnings of the new system as chemical manufactures update their materials."
You also can conduct your own training using videos and materials offered online, such as those provided by the National Safety Council. OSHA's website includes helpful information such as QuickCards, its GHS fact sheet, its Hazard Communications page and its brief on GHS-compliant labels and pictograms.
Whether you use a piece of string on your finger (which I do NOT recommend) or an electronic calendar, go ahead and note the other GHS deadlines on the horizon:
• June 1, 2015 – New label requirements and SDS must be in place. Distributors must be in compliance if they are not passing along manufacturer labels.
• Dec. 1, 2015 – Distributors may ship products under the old system. All labels must be updated by this date.
• June 1, 2016 – Employers must update alternative workplace labeling and hazard communication programs as necessary, and provide additional employee training for newly identified physical or health hazards. The transition period is complete and all manufacturers, distributors, importers and employers must be in compliance with the final standard.
So if you missed the Dec. 1 GHS training deadline, don't panic. Just schedule the training for your employees. Let your demonstration of good faith be the angel by your side.
As these deadlines come and go, remind yourself that workplace safety and health compliance isn't a destination; it's a process – for all of us. Keep that in mind and you'll stay ahead of the curve.

After 17 seasons, 266 games, 715 tackles, 159.5 sacks and 51 forced fumbles, Julius Peppers is calling it a career.
The future Hall of Famer on Friday officially announced his retirement, but before he walked away, he asked to share some thoughts with the Panthers' fan base.
Earlier this week, Peppers stopped by Bank of America Stadium to clean out his locker and reminisce about a ride that began in 2002. There were some twists and turns along the way, but ultimately, he made his way back home.
Click 'play' below to hear Peppers' message to those who joined him along his journey:
Peppers' Thank-You Message
Thank you.
For the victories and the good times.
For the lessons and the times we desired more.
For the sacrifices, the belief, the confidence and the unwavering support – I'm thankful.
Because without you, this wasn't possible.
Thank you for the spirit, the resolve and the attitude to Keep Pounding. It's not something we just say around here, it's how we live.
I'm thankful for the things you showed me about life that were bigger than football and for a second chance – a new beginning.
See the players, we come and we go, but the constant is you. And as the saying goes, "Once a Panther, always a Panther."
Thank you for the memories, the friendships, the laughs and the culture we created.
For the understanding and for being family.
Thanks for all the years, and cheers.
And for being home now and forever.
I wouldn't change a thing about this journey. It was the best teacher I've ever had and was everything I could've hoped for.
The tough times never lasted and the tough people inspired me to be better and give more. I hope I did the same.
Only time can reveal what's next, but my time here is up. No regrets, no looking back and nothing left to give.
It's not goodbye, it's kinda like, "I'll see you later." But until then I'm grateful, I'm satisfied and at peace with all that comes next.
Thank you.

How To Make Alkaline Water In Order To Fight Fatigue, Digestive Issues & Cancer
To be healthy and able to prevent diseases, our body should be a little bit alkaline.
However, many factors, like the environment, processed foods, chemicals and stress, influence our body's internal condition and make it more acidic (if not highly acidic).
This is a serious issue since it leads to health complications; including fatigue, digestive issues and weight gain. Moreover, if not balanced on time, this environment could pollute healthy cells and they too shall become toxic. Over time, they can even become cancerous.
The pH scale goes from 0(the most acidic) to 14 (the most alkaline). 7 is therefore neutral, and our bodies are designed to thrive in a slightly alkaline environment of about 7.4.
Our body's organs function on different pH levels though. For instance, the pH of the digestive tract can vary quite a lot, from 1.5-7.0, and is influenced by many factors, but mostly by diet.
Our saliva is more acidic in order for it to be able to help the digestion of food, and its pH ranges from 6.5-7.0 normally). On the other hand, the typical pH value of the skin is 5.
Since 1931, when Dr. Otto Warburg unearthed the truth that won him the Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine, researchers have constantly struggled to determine the ph value of different foods.
Dr. Otto Warburg's discovery revealed that 90-95% of all cancers occur as a result of an acidic environment. Moreover, he found that cancer cells simply cannot survive in an alkaline environment, when the pH is around 7.36.
As he stated a century ago, there is a relation not only between acidosis (over-acidity) and the formation of cancer, but with almost every other chronic disease too; such as heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis.
Therefore, it is of vital importance to recognize when your body is too acidic. The first thing you can do, is a saliva test using a regular pH paper or by paying attention to the following symptoms;
- Frequent shortness of breath
- Muscle pain or cramps after walking short distances
- Constant fatigue
As soon as your pH level drops, your body begins to try regulate itself naturally (to create homeostasis) by holding and storing some excessively acidic substances in your organs, including your liver, lungs and kidneys.
Thus, it can keep up an optimal pH of between 7.35-7.45. However, these acidic substances will eventually start to strike the healthy cells, causing them to be toxic, damaged and sick. Over time, if this issue is not solved, these cells can multiply and grow beyond control. Spreading to other body parts or organs. In short, they will metastasize.
As we mentioned previously, one of the major causes for chronic acidosis is our modern diet, which is rich in sugar, caffeine, highly- processed foods and alcohol. These foods are also grown with the employment of numerous additives, pesticides and growth hormones, which are themselves also acidic. Therefore, it is fairly obvious that we need to make certain changes in our diet in order to preserve the health of our body. Furthermore, you can also actually detox successfully by consuming alkaline water.
The human body is roughly 70% water, so properly prepared alkaline water will lead to homeostasis.
Alkaline water- recipe
- 1 tablespoon of Himalayan salt (
- 1 organic lemon
- 2 liters of purified water (it's good to have an osmosis filter)
- 1 large glass jar (plastic has chemicals and impurities that are acidic to your body).
Method of preparation:
Pour the water in the glass. Cut the lemon in slices and add it to the water. Add the Himalayan salt. Cover the glass and leave it at room temperature for 12-24 hours.
For best results, consume the alkaline water first thing in the morning before you start your day or eat anything. Drink 3 glasses of the alkaline water on an empty stomach. You can also consume it during the day.
The effects are inevitable! Over some time, you will start feeling different and full of energy. Furthermore, your skin will be clear and radiant, and you will have more concentration and your brain will be more alert.
If you combine the alkaline water with a healthy diet (free of sugar, additives, toxins and processed food), regular exercise and make a habit to avoid stress, you will transform your life and become a stronger person overall!

For anyone who reads my blog here and there, you've probable noticed my distinct absence lately.. For whatever reason I haven't been writing much lately – AGAIN – despite there being loads going on in my life these days. Well, maybe not LOADS. LOL
It's not that I haven't wanted to be writing about stuff, but more that I haven't felt like it.
And I've been THAT busy the past several weeks (months??). Hell most days when I haven't had somewhere I needed to be, I've been plunked down at my laptop playing games and job hunting. Oh, and watching old tv series on LoveFilm. 🙂
But this time of idleness and laziness (I suppose..) is coming to an end this week, as I FINALLY start a new JOB on Monday!! It's about damn time!!
For anyone unaware of why that's such a big deal for me, I've been unemployed since September 2012. And despite a very active job search and getting quite a few job interviews, I continued to be sat at home waiting for the phone to ring and someone to offer me a job.
Obviously I'm thrilled to have finally found a job (I'll go through the 'buts' in a moment..), and it'll be good to get back into a regular work routine. Not to mention to have an actual paycheck coming in that will actually cover my bills each month… and it's a 10 minute walk from home.
Despite my elation, there are a couple negatives to this new job.. mostly around the career level and salary.
For most of the past decade I've been working at the managerial level in several call centers, both here in London and back in Montreal. In fact at one point, I was actually managing managers. But despite all this experience, nobody seemed willing to hire me for a job at that level for a variety of reasons.
I admit, I'm not the best in interviews (especially if it's competency based.. uggh), but I know I've gotten much better over the past year and it's been easier to verbalise my abilities and show I would be able to do the job or fit into their company. But no matter how hard I tried or prepared for the interviews, it never seemed to be enough.
So about a month ago, I filled in an online application for a telecommunications company near my home that a few of my old employees/colleagues have either gone to work for or have interviewed with themselves. The only position they had online was 'Account Manager', which is basically a nice way of saying you're on the phones servicing and trying to up-sell to business customers.
I've done sales through service jobs in the past, both as an agent and as a manager, but I'd never dealt with business customers before. It would definitely be something new for me.
Well, the next day I got a call from the company's HR department saying they'd received my application but wanted me to interview for a Team Leader position instead. I obviously said yes, and we arranged a phone interview for the following week.
I personally thought the phone interview had gone alright. It wasn't a home run or anything, but wasn't that bad I thought. However the interviewing manager felt that I didn't have enough 'experience' for the role, and instead wanted me to go in for an assessment day for the lower position I'd originally applied for.
Of course I was understandably disappointed by this 'feedback' and confused how I couldn't have enough managerial experience despite never dealing with business customers. I don't think it's really that much different than dealing with residential customers, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, the assessment day arrived and not surprisingly I flew through all the morning assessments (hell I've created and administered similar assessments over the years…), and was invited to stay for an in-person interview.
One of the other managers who was assisting with the assessment day purposely did my in person interview once he'd heard I'd previously had a phone interview with his colleague, as he was curious about my experience and such. He literally started the interview by clearly stating I was over-qualified for the phone role, and we discussed the possibility of re-opening my Team Leader application.
Umm.. sure. Why not? LOL
He called me up the next day to let me know I'd been successful for the lower position, but at the same time they wanted me to re-interview for the Team Leader position. Basically, regardless of how the re-interview went, the lower position would still be there as a fall back.
So I prepared my ass off for the new interview, spending an entire weekend creating a PowerPoint presentation based on a scenario they'd sent me. And on the day of the interview, I talked my ass off (an hour and a half..) explaining everything and answering all their questions as completely as I could. In fact, it felt like I was being over-scrutinized by them because I'd previously been turned down for the role but that could just be my perception.
In the end, it obviously wasn't enough because they turned me down a second time for the role but still ensured me that I was guaranteed the lower role.
It's a bit bitter sweet since I'm used to a higher position and salary (the phone job is about £8k/yr less than what they were offering for the Team Leader role, which was comparable to my old salary..), but at least it's a job and my foot in the door.
And who knows, maybe I'll start work and they'll realise I'm being wasted sitting on the phones trying to make the sales quotas and they'll find me something else.
I hope so, cause I hate being on the phones. 🙂

Water for rivers project transforms river systems
28 August 2017
South East Local Land Services has recently completed the five year, 'Water for Rivers' willow control program for the Bombala-Delegate catchment.
Funded by the Water for Rivers Group and Catchment Action NSW, the $1.4 million program (plus matching in-kind contributions from land managers) completed over 165 km of willow and 50 km of blackberry control along the Delegate, Little Plains and Coolumbooka River systems.
"We wanted to achieve landscape scale willow control for these river systems, something that would have not been possible without the funding and in-kind contributions" said Leon Miners, South East Local Land Services, Senior Natural Resource Advisor.
The program, a collaboration between South East Local Land Services and over 115 land managers, represents a major achievement.
More than 95% of willows along each of the river systems have been controlled. The works have consolidated the efforts of land managers along the Delegate and Little Plains Rivers and Craigie Landcare Group which have been going on for the past 20 years.
"After completion of the five year program it is fantastic to see significant freeing up of the river. Channel choking has decreased, water quality has improved and native vegetation is recovering.
"Some landholders have also noted an increase in platypus and fish movement.
"Flow has also improved, supporting recent studies by the CSIRO which have shown that willows growing in-stream can use more than 5,000,000 litres of water per hectare of willow canopy area every year," Leon said.
The success of the program was recognised by the NSW Government, with it being a top three nomination for the Office of Environment and Heritage's 2016 Green Globe Awards.
Whilst the funded program has been completed, South East Local Land Services is advising land managers to remain vigilant in controlling any willow re-growth that may emerge.
Willows can still enter these systems through tributary catchments and may re-infest the system. It is important that all land managers participate in controlling re-growth not only to prevent spread on their property but also neighbours downstream.
Replanting river banks and fencing to manage stock access is also encouraged to improve regeneration and recovery of these river systems.
For further information on this project or information on best practice control methods for re-growth please contact Leon Miners, South East Local Land Services on (02) 6452 1455.

Intro Teachable Membership Site
Wonderful membership platforms have to be easy enough to use when membership sites are established, but need to provide the space for these sites to grow as they become successful. Inside this MemberMouse Review, we will discuss the pros and cons of using MemberMouse for WordPress membership websites, and how MemberMouse matches the requirements of different users. Teachable Membership Site
Getting Started
The cool thing about this is you are able to alter the registered URL, so in the event that you want to utilize MemberMouse on a staging site before migrating to a manufacturing website, you can enroll the staging site URL and completely set up your website and associates for launch, then migrate to the URL into the live site. Once your website URL is registered on your MemberMouse accounts, you may then download the MemberMouse plugin from your dashboard and install it in your WordPress website. From there, you're ready to start configuring your website.If you don't need to establish the website yourself, you can buy Quick Start support from MemberMouse for $299, which includes a WordPress installation (optional), MemberMouse installation following a consultation call, and also an optional migration of membership data from an present site. Teachable Membership Site
MemberMouse Overview
It supplies a full-featured alternative for memberships, including content limitation, flexible billing options, content dripping, restricting logins, and supports developer tweaks and changes. In addition, MemberMouse can provide upsells to members, or mechanically provide downsells to customers who want to cancel in order to improve client retention and maximize earnings. MemberMouse also allows members to update or downgrade memberships .You may check out a full feature listing from MemberMouse to each of the juicy details in 1 spot, or visit our overview of some MemberMouse attributes.
Configuring MemberMouse
MemberMouse generates several webpages when installed (similar to a eCommerce plugin), for example voucher pages, login/out pages for associates, and much more. It is possible to customize these pages so as to test the best approach for your store, but I decided to get setup.You can take a look at your membership dashboard once you log in to see some compacted information about your website, but since I have not put up anything yet, I headed down to the General Settings menu to see what options I had.Under general settings, I navigated to"Other Settings" and was able to change what members see when logged , for example, page they are redirected to and if to display protected menu items (by way of instance, if you are protecting products from non-members). One setting that many of you will find interesting is that the"Access Sharing Protection"This little box permits you to restrict how many different IP addresses can log in to your site using the very same credentials at a 24-hour period. I'd enable more than one IP address in case members use a computer and a cellular device to view your content. That way they don't get frustrated by being locked from the site when using another device. For some membership sites, the capability to limit login information is non-negotiable, therefore MemberMouse becomes an attractive option.MemberMouse also lets you create Worker users under General Settings to ensure support or sales employees can log in to your website and member centre so as to create or assist members, but don't have access to web site configuration choices. As a last note on setup, MemberMouse includes a couple of built-in widgets that you could use to exhibit content throughout your website. By way of example, the"Protected Content" widget may display upcoming content to members according to which membership level access they have so they know what things to anticipate (date could be included too ).

Creating Products with MemberMouse
One word of warning for those of you trying MemberMouse: see the tutorial movies. I make a habit out of leaping into using a new plugin without reading documentation or viewing movies, but I ended up going back and forth between the goods and memberships that I generated and wasted moment. Usually documentation is excellent for when I get stuck rather than as a starting point, but I wasn't sure why products and memberships were separated in the manner they were.MemberMouse provides membership access to unique products. If you're new at this, it might appear redundant to separate memberships out of goods initially; however, this permits you more flexibility in pricing your membership solutions. You can create a"Bronze" membership access level and connect it to multiple products, like a normal product (at one cost ), a discounted product (with a promotional cost ), and an affiliate product (using a price for consumers referred from an affiliate). After viewing the movies and understanding this structure, I truly liked the flexibility provided by dividing membership access from goods.Products are made beneath Product Settings. Both virtual and physical products are handled from the exact same page, and once your goods are put up, after that you can create membership accessibility levels and assign them to your products. To begin, delegate your"Associated Access" for your merchandise to"none" since you'll be setting up memberships afterwards.With MemberMouse, you are able to make sign-up fees or trial intervals. If you allow"Trials", you may optionally set a price for a trial period (which could be 0 ), then decide how long that trial period will operate. If you only need to use this to get a lump-sum payment, then you can decide on a one-day trial then initiate the membership. This isn't perfect, because the monthly charge won't be shown immediately at checkout because just the signup fee is revealed, but it works well enough that it should not be an issue. Your product description must clarify billing and fees anyway.You might even make products"shippable" to make the most of the limited shipping approaches accessible MemberMouse for memberships which involve physical goods. Teachable Membership Site
Creating Membership Access with MemberMouse
After products are created, you may then create membership accessibility levels to tie to some of your membership products. These membership levels will establish the content limitation principles for members. However, you may also edit the accessibility rules on a per-post or per-page basis.When you make a membership level, you can assign that accessibility level to a specific item. This is what I had been talking about in regard to flexibility — you can assign an access level to as many products as you need, so in the event that you offer promotional pricing for email readers or testimonials from the own affiliates, you can tie the same access to every one of these products.You'll also select which classes will be protected for that access level from the same display. Multiple article categories can be selected for accessibility. Consequently, MemberMouse supports both tiered and topic-based memberships.As a default option, access will be limited for the entire post for every single post in the class. Access can also be put on a per-post or per-page basis whilst editing a page or post. The article / webpage editor is where you'll manage content dripping. Dripping is flexible and super-simple, as you may set a delay in access for each membership level concerning days.After content dripping is set up, you can view schedules for every membership level under Product Settings > Content Dripping Program to get a general view of if each access level can see content. This page will also allow you to mass edit access rights for every membership level, and personalize content dripping times for each access level. It is really useful for all those that currently have a lot of content created, and just want to assign trickle occasions and get rights from one display.Not sure how it will look to every member? Look at the top of your display when previewing your own site.
MemberMouse Smart Tags
Before you start setting up your website in order to market membership products, you'll want to take a look at a few of the built-in shortcodes for MemberMouse, called Smart Tags. You can use smart tags to insert purchase links for your products, selectively restrict (or eliminate restrictions from) specific pieces of content to create excerpts, and display member data. By way of example, you can demonstrate a member's name on mails or welcome pages, content based on their membership level, or show content based on which affiliate referred the member to your website.Smart tags also let you insert links that enable members to manage their own subscriptions, upgrade memberships, or even buy new goods. As you're able to customize the member's"My Account Page", you are able to indent bundles for many members, or dynamically display upsells for every membership level.
Selling Packages
MemberMouse has yet another sales option of which you can take advantage. Participants can't buy more than one membership level using MemberMouse. But, you may use a different content restriction tool, known as a bundle, to provide a topic-based membership. This is also how you can provide upsells to present members. You can assign many goods to a bundle in the same manner which it is possible to assign multiple products to a membership accessibility level. Packages allow you to expand the material accessibility that a product provides when used in this way.Because Packages are tied to goods in the exact same manner as membership access, bundles may also benefit from content dripping. The benefit to using bundles is that members can buy more than one bundle at one time.

Selling and Handling MemberMouse Memberships
When you are done learning about smart tags, setting up goods, access levels, and content dripping, you will want to sell the memberships you have created. While MemberMouse automatically produces a whole lot of pages, it does not create a catalogue or sales page. For me personally this is a great thing, as I think selling memberships to potential users needs long-form content anyhow — members probably are not going to visit your website and browse for memberships right away.To sell memberships, you'll need to create pages or posts with buy links. It's possible to copy purchase links from the merchandise settings for each product, or generate a buy link using a smart label if the link has been posted on your WordPress site (which is what we've done in the screenshot). You can even utilize MemberMouse's built-in button fashions rather than the ones out of the theme (mine are somewhat lackluster since we're using the default theme).
MemberMouse costs are dependent on the number of users for your membership site, however MemberMouse isn't a true SaaS solution, since the MemberMouse plugin runs on your own servers. You install the plugin on your website, but may also possess a MemberMouse accounts; your site then assesses with the MemberMouse licensing server to send data on site usage. As a result, site performance is entirely dependent on your own hosting and surroundings.MemberMouse pricing ranges from $20 per month for 1,000 users up to premium and specialist programs at $300-600 a month for websites with over 100,000 users (support is included for the majority of programs ). You can try MemberMouse free to get a 14 day trial before committing to using it. Each pricing grade provides distinct benefits (like premium support beginning with innovative plans), but here is a rough breakdown of cost based on number of consumers.
Managing Members
Among the wonderful things about MemberMouse is that members can manage themeselves, which helps free up time you'd otherwise spend onsite administration. You could also personalize the manhood"My Account" page to mechanically upsell your products for you, or to try to conserve sales if members want to cancel. The members centre is geared towards simplifying and simplifying your website management, which can save massive amounts of time for websites with tens of thousands of members.If you want to downsell members who'd like to cancel, you also are able to make the most of the MemberMouse Save the selling webpage , which lets you produce a downsell that will be revealed to members that are looking to cancel a membership. When a member violates their accounts (or you opt to set cancellations to membership pauses), their registration is actually frozen so that they have access to any content that has been released up to this point, but are removed from the drip schedule and cannot get any content that is new. Teachable Membership Site
Billing and Payments
In addition, you are able to charge a one-time fee for memberships (though I'd recommend avoiding this unless you are just starting out, as you'll constantly have to chase new associates, which kind of defeats the purpose of a recurring billing model ).You might also use coupons with MemberMouse, and decide whether to apply them to the first billing cycle or the lifetime of this membership. Coupons can provide a percent off or a dollar-amount reduction. Coupons can also be created to deliver an entirely free membership, or you could make a membership to get a client yourself and comp that subscription rather. Coupon usage can be limited to specific products or a number of applications.The very best part about charging is that you can control recurring billing activities, like refunds, directly from MemberMouse rather than logging into your account with your payment processor. For example, you can issue refunds from in your MemberMouse admin instead of logging into Stripe or PayPal to accomplish this, and MemberMouse automatically interacts with the correct chip. You can use one onsite payment system, such as Stripe or Authorize.net, and in the exact same time use PayPal and/or ClickBank to supply up to three payment choices.As cards are tokenized and saved for members, MemberMouse may also help automate late payment managing to save your client control team time and maintain your revenue stream flowing. When MemberMouse detects that a card was diminished , it marks the member's account as overdue, then sends the member and email requesting him to login and update the card info in the accounts. The penis is then instantly charged the sum due and the member account is reactivated.
MemberMouse isn't really designed to be an eCommerce platform, but it does permit you to promote some physical goods through your site and to sell physical products with subscriptions, such as magazines (although I think it does a far superior job with virtual goods compared to physical goods ). When you produce your product, you mark it as"shippable", then put up basic transport prices (such as standard and expedited shipping).As for me, I'd just include shipping as part of their membership pricing a month (and advertise this actuality!) To simplify my store management, but the shipping methods can be helpful for promoting'swag' items and other physical products for your site.
MemberMouse has a couple of integrations built in to assist you with your website administration. First, email is critical for communication and participation. Rather than set up an internal email system, MemberMouse integrates directly with email advertising companies like MailChimp and AWeber. It is possible to take advantage of this integration to handle your relationship with members using an email platform you are already acquainted with, and moving members between automatic lists to save you time.MemberMouse also incorporates with iDevAffiliate to manage affiliates to your membership website. When clients are sent in an affiliate, this will automatically be mentioned in the member accounts, and you'll be able to opt to dynamically display content or offers to members according to which affiliate referred them to your website.
Speaking of Developers
If you're an advanced user, or have a developer on staff, you can further automate a good deal of MemberMouse functions. In addition to clever tags (shortcodes from WordPress lingo), there are plenty of actions and filters available, as well as a well-documented collection of international functions for use in templates as well as other custom code. This usually means that MemberMouse can always be the heart of information for your membership-based small business.MemberMouse also has an API that programmers can utilize to incorporate MemberMouse with outside systems, which isn't true with all membership plugins. This permits you to make, get, and upgrade information regarding members.
MemberMouse includes email support with all programs, and offers some other tools for users. Total documentation can be obtained, and has been fairly useful for me personally. Some documentation comprises movie walkthroughs, and all functions and settings are documented. I only used the support desk time for an problem with the smart tag library, and obtained an answer for the question I submitted at the morning after the same afternoon, and got a follow-up email to let me understand the problem would be solved in the next release.In addition, there's developer documentation accessible for site customizations. If you are conducting a membership site with tens of thousands of members, odds are you own a developer on retainer or a single on staff, so getting docs handy for tweaks and customizations is a plus. Teachable Membership Site
MemberMouse Review
MemberMouse offers enormous functionality and will make it possible for you to treat your membership website like a business rather than a hobby. Setting up a site and fundamental content limitation is easy (especially with the help of the"Getting Started" videos), but far more personalization is possible in case you're willing to make a time investment in website setup and optimization. There is definitely a learning curve involved in using MemberMouse, but it is in proportion to the amount of functionality you get out of the plugin, since it has virtually everything you might desire in a membership stage.
MemberMouse makes it effortless to enhance the Lifetime Value of your loved ones by providing the capability for same-sex earnings. By eliminating obstacles to purchase for present members, you are able to radically increase conversions. When members are logged in, purchase links simply open a pop-up confirming that the order will be charged to the card on the account to make the purchase basically a one time sale (account info is currently prepopulated with the payment data tokenized in the customer accounts ). Since you've gone through the time and cost to obtain these associates, up-selling them is made as simple as possible to generate additional revenue and to help them locate other products.Another intriguing feature is the capacity to email purchase links to members, so that if the link is clicked, then members have been logged in and sent to a pre-populated cart to again remove as many barriers as possible to buy.The degree of support MemberMouse provides was interesting for me personally, as many membership solutions offer you the plugin / integration and service, and that is it. The Fast Start agency is a white-gloved install and setup, which is offered by some other services, but MemberMouse additionally supplies a list of recommended contractors, and encourages current users to become affiliates to promote the services. Developer resources are also a excellent improvement, and help you to customize, tweak, or extend your usage of MemberMouse past WordPress. Teachable Membership Site

Thank you very much for your comment. When I write about a wine or a beer, I try to learn as much as I can about it. Sometimes I am limited to what I can find on the Internet. But I try to be as accurate as I can. I look forward to your new website and I really enjoyed the Quincy wine. Keep up the great work. -- Keith
