Do You Want To Squash Inflammation, Combat Deadly Super Bugs All While Maintaining Good Health AND Shedding Years Of Belly Fat?
From the Desk of Jayson Hunter, RD, CSCS:
Dear friends,
How often have you felt bloated….foggy…or just generally crummy throughout the day after having a large meal?
Once a week? Twice? More?
Today, more than ever, our bodies are swimming in a sea of toxins and pathogens…
…you know, the ones that make you sick, bloated, unhealthy, and fat.
Every day, you are exposed to TRILLIONS of them – from the foods you eat to the liquids you drink…
…even the air you breath is infested with dangerous, often-times deadly bacteria.
And these bacteria get trapped inside your body – making it hard to feel good day in and day out.
These dangerous, unhealthy pathogens may also be causing a change within your body, therefore making it harder than ever for you to burn fat and keep it off!
But I can promise you, there is a simple fix in sight.
And if you stick around, I will show you exactly what you need to do to change your body and send those deadly pathogens and toxins packing and out the door.
Now, most of the time, people think potential health issues with a specific area of the body.
Like when you see an engorged pimple on your face, you immediately think skin.
Or when your knees and hips are inflamed and screaming at you not to take ONE MORE STEP, your mind jumps to your joints.
Perhaps you can't breathe due to a severe asthma attack, so you know that you have some lung issues that you need to deal with.
Most of these issues may be signs of an unhealthy gut! Yes, the same system that helps you digest the greasy cheeseburger or that decadent piece of cake…
…could be in distress, and those symptoms are the red flags your body is sending alerting you that there's something wrong.
Do you want to fix your gut…reduce your inflammation…and burn even more fat this year?
Well, give a minute more of your time and I will explain the EXACT way to do this, and it only takes a few second each day!
Wouldn't you agree that discovering the secret to unlocking your fat burning – once and for all – by simply fixing your gut – is well worth a few minutes of your time?
If not, feel free to exit. If so, please continue reading to discover our powerful new secret…
…trust me - it will be well worth your time!
Your Gut Is More Than Just A Digestive Machine
Providing The Energy You Need To Survive
Like most, you know that your gut is used to digest foods so they can be used by your body.
Although accurate, this is a grossly simplified definition and is just ONE function your gut performs each day to keep you healthy.
You see, your gut contains TRILLIONS of tiny, friendly bacteria which are not only important to your health, they are considered by many to be the main driving force for:
- A stronger, healthier immune system
- Acting as your second brain or an important messenger system between your brain and all the organs and cells in your body
- Breaking down and digesting food particles, making it easier for your body to get the necessary nutrients it needs to function at optimal levels
- Returning your body to the fat-fighting machine it naturally is (or wants to be)
And the painful joints…difficulty breathing…poor digestion and bloating…heartburn…irritability…and so on…
Is just a painful reminder that your gut IS in disrepair – and in major need for an overhaul!
And although some people, friends of yours perhaps, may have these symptoms…
…many people have NO WARNING that there are issues in their gut!
In fact, here are some startling statistics:
- Over 200 million doctor visits are due to issues that pertain to the gut
- These visits ALONE rack up billions and billions of dollars in direct healthcare costs
- Over-the-counter remedies, like antacids, have quickly become a 10 billion dollar industry
Yes, I said that correctly, BILLIONS of dollars are spent each year treating gas, constipation, bloating, and pain in the U.S. alone!
The bottom line is this:
Your gut and the trillions of living, breeding bacteria….
…the invisible bugs that keep you healthy without you even knowing it…
Contribute to the overall health of your entire body!
When your gut is functioning normally, and "good" bacteria are thriving, then you may find yourself healthy as a horse.
If your gut is functioning poorly, and the "bad" bacteria outnumber the "good" guys, then you may be susceptible to many of the diseases that plague our world today.
But there's good news…
There's a simple way to boost your gut health….reduce inflammation…burn fat…and improve your everyday health…
…in only seconds each day!
More on that in a moment…
There Are 100 TRILLION Microbes Living In Your Intestines And Collectively They OUTNUMBER Your Cells 10 To 1!
Let that set in for a moment…
The healthy microbes living in your intestines outnumber your normal, healthy cells 10 to 1!
Even though there are trillions of microbes crawling around your gut...
…some are considered "good" and beneficial to your health, while others are "bad" and may throw chaos into your system.
In fact, Edmond Huang from The University of California, Berkeley, told CNN:
"Get the right type in your gut and, depending on your condition, you may begin to see improvements in a matter of days or weeks."
The right balance between "good" and "bad" bacteria, could lead to clearer memory and sharper thinking…an impenetrable immune system…better digestion and absorption…and a boost in fat loss.
Too many "bad" bacteria could cause constipation, gas, bloating, inflammation and discomfort.
Even though it sounds icky and downright disgusting…
….without these tiny, not-seen-by-the-naked-eye BUGS, your body could be fighting an uphill battle to keep you healthy.
Now, you're probably asking, "How do you possibly get a bad batch of bacteria into your system?"
The simple answer: Your diet! Hear me out…
If you eat too many sweet and sugary…processed and packaged foods…or foods filled to the brim with unhealthy trans-fats…
…you could already have a major disruption in the normal functioning of your gut.
These foods cause the "bad" bacteria to multiply and overtake your "good" bacteria, therefore causing those nasty symptoms from above.
This deadly influx of "bad" bacteria leads to inflammation of your intestines…
…and makes it that much easier for undigested food particles and toxins to slip, unnoticed, into your bloodstream.
Have you ever felt sluggish after a meal? Or so bloated you needed to unbutton your pants?
Perhaps you had so much gas that you doubled over from the pain.
All these symptoms combined are just some of the highlights found in "leaky gut syndrome."
This is why it's so important to maintain the right balance of good and bad bacteria in your gut.
That's just the tip of the iceberg…
…these bad microbes could also make you FAT!
And if I were you, I would be mad…angry…and downright fed up with the food industry and the lies they have continued to tell you about their products!
You see, a recent study published in the prestigious journal "Nature," showed that when "bad" bacteria were harvested from overweight men and women and transplanted into lean mice…
…the mice got fatter and fatter and they simply couldn't get enough food!
Sound familiar?
The fact is: More people leave the table too full to move, because they were unable to satisfy their cravings…
They overate because they simply couldn't get enough to eat!
No wonder why we have a problem, not only in this country, but around the world!
Here's the good news: When "good" bacteria were transplanted into the mice, they stayed lean and were able to control their appetite and food intake!
Even the renowned Cleveland Clinic has added their two-cents to the debate on healthy gut bacteria:
According to the results of a groundbreaking research study, their researchers found that "bad" gut bacteria changes the breakdown of certain foods.
…to produce nasty, disease-inducing compounds!
They showed that "bad" bacteria metabolizes meat and eggs differently, therefore leading to clogged arteries and an increased risk for death from a heart attack or a stroke.
So what are you supposed to do?
It's simple:
You need to hit the reset switch on nature and RECLAIM the health of your gut!
And, like I mentioned previously, here is exactly how you can swap out the "bad," disease-causing bacteria and replace them with the "good," friendly bacteria your body needs.
Introducing The Newest Formulation Of Jaylab Pro Probiotics
If you want to swap out the disease-causing "bad" bacteria and put some "good" ones in your body…
Then Jaylab Pro Probiotics is your answer!
You see, Jaylab Pro Probiotics are healthy, friendly bacteria that are found in many of the foods you eat.
Do you enjoy your sausage with a heaping serving of sauerkraut?
Perhaps you sip on a glass or two of fermented milk?
Maybe you do exactly what Jamie Lee Curtis says, and you eat your daily cup of yogurt.
Although these foods are great for introducing healthy bacterial strains into your body and replacing those good ones that have been lost due to too many bad bacteria...
…there is a problem:
You would have to eat POUNDS of sauerkraut…
Guzzle GALLONS of fermented milk…
Or eat TUB after TUB of yogurt to get the necessary "good" bacteria levels to tip your gut health in the right direction!
Who has the time to eat that much food – EVERY DAY – just to alter their gut bacteria?
I know I don't…and I am pretty sure you don't either!
So, we came up with a solution for you…
You see, I locked our team of researchers in a room with me and searched high and low for the best solution to fixing YOUR gut health.
And after two weeks of being under lock-and-key, we finally found a powerful solution…
…a probiotic so powerful and state-of-the-art that it literally BLOWS all other probiotic products clear out off the shelves.
What makes Jaylab Pro Probiotics so unique and powerful?
I am so glad you asked!
First, Jaylab Pro Probiotics contains 15 BILLION live, friendly, and ACTIVE bacteria CLINICALLY shown to stabilize and GROW your current gut population.
Here are all the players you get in this special mix of probiotics:
Lactobacillus acidophilus – One of the main bacterial strains found in your intestines, this strain may restore balance to your gut population. This strain is commonly used for treating diarrhea, and other stomach/intestinal issues.
Bifidobacterium lactis – This strain of bacteria is commonly used to replenish "good" bacteria in the gut commonly destroyed by radiation, antibiotics, or chemotherapy. It is also a common treatment for conditions such as ulcerative colitis and many others.
Bifidobacterium longum – Welcome to the KING of bacteria! Bifidobacterium longum may elicit the most benefits to your body. Not only does it maintain a normal digestive tract, it fights the growth of bad bacteria, boosts your immune system, lowers cholesterol, and prevents lactose intolerance.
Bifidobacterium bifidum – This bacterium is a vigilant fighter in the war against bad bacteria. Its main responsibility is to maintain a healthy gut bacterial population, but it also controls the influx of bad bacteria into your intestines, bolsters your immune system, and aids in the digestive process.
Now, these 4 POWERFUL, clinically-proven bacteria could easily improve your health AND put all other products to shame…
…but there's more!
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) – found naturally occurring in many foods, this acts as a fuel source for your gut bacteria, keeping them working overtime – without tiring – to support, improve, and protect your health.
FOS is a Prebiotic which means it feeds the probiotics in your intestines to keep you healthy. FOS provides food to healthy bacteria (probiotics). This makes the 8 powerful probiotic strains become even more effective at improving the health of your gut and your immune system
You see, most probiotic supplements today are grown on a milk-based culture – one they believe will yield the highest deliverability of the probiotics.
But this was the thinking years ago…
…and most probiotics – even the newer ones on the market today – still resort to the milk-based culture because they BELIEVE it works.
Why mess with something that works, right?
Well, we here at Jaylab Pro, wanted something different...something better…something state-of-the-art…
We wanted to develop a product that could withstand the acidic environment of the stomach AND deliver the probiotics that your body so desperately needs.
And then we found it!
Let me explain…
Unlike the other products, Jaylab Pro Probiotics are grown on a vegetarian-based culture – not milk-based – therefore setting it apart and making it a higher quality product compared to those that still use the outdated, milk-based cultured method.
Plus, the strains developed on a vegetarian-based culture are heartier and able to withstand the harsh environment of the stomach…
…all while strengthening your existing colony and helping to make the "good" guys flourish!
But that's not all…
This new vegetarian-based culture makes OUR product more shelf-stable compared to other products on the market today!
Get this…
Most of the commercial products contain DEAD, lifeless bacteria that were either dead when they went into the product, or died when they were packaged, loaded onto a truck, and shipped to the store where YOU bought them.
And when your diet is full of sugar, processed and refined foods, and those deadly fats – and you THINK you're getting the LIVE probiotics you just purchased…
You're really getting a product that may not live up to the claims.
Chew on THAT for a minute!
And it gets worse…
Consumer reports recently showed that 80% of the foods you buy today – even the ones that have the terms "healthy," "contains healthy probiotics," and "contains naturally occurring live cultures" on the label, may be robbing you of your health – and your hard earned money.
That's why I consider Jaylab Pro Probiotics as the natural choice for you.
Even world-renowned doctors, researchers, and scientists admit that taking a probiotic supplement may be the simplest, most effective way to increase your gut bacterial population AND return a sense of normalcy to your body.
But again, we didn't hold back and wanted to be sure we were providing the BEST and most powerful product out there. So we made a big change to the packaging.
In order to keep your probiotic fresh and free from breakdown from sunlight or oxiygen, all our probiotic supplements now come in an amber-colored bottle--complete with our standard double-layer inner and outer seal.
This keeps your probiotics as fresh as the day they were put in the bottle--keeping those helpful probiotics away from the breakdown process that can occur due to sunlight and oxygen exposure.
Oh and did I mentionedf they are grown, fermented, and packaged right here in the USA? It's true!
One probiotic with most conventional probiotics is they sometimes sit in a warehouse for days...weeks...even MONTHS before they are packaged and sent to consumer.
And this could be the #1 reason why most probiotics arrive D.O.A. when they get to your home. Since our probiotics are made right here in the USA, the moment our probiotics are ready, they are shipped to our warehouses and sent right to your door.
Again, this is just another step we have taken to ensure you're getting the strongest, most powerful probiotic formula to improve your health...lighten your mood...and accelerate your weight loss--one day at a time!
Now, you're probably sitting there saying, "Ok Jayson, I get it. Probiotics are important for my health. But what is a product like this going to cost me?"
Great question!
You would think that since we have put EVEN more benefits into this amazing product that we would charge a heck of a lot more.
Or even $67…
Not even close! Because we want to get our powerful new-formula into the hands of so many loyal customers like yourself, we are giving you the opportunity to get your bottle for ONLY $39.95!
That's an amazing 39% off the price that we COULD – and SHOULD - be charging you.
But you're not even going to be paying that $39.95 price tag. In fact, through this special one-time only offer, I am going to rush a FREE 30-day supply straight to your door.

Interested in Language
Hello, there,
I would appreciate it if you can answer my question;
Which sentence is correct and why?
He should go to the hospital to visit his uncle.
He should go to the hospital visit his uncle.
- He should go and (he should) visit.
Note, 'he should' is omitted, but the verb 'visit' still has a subject, 'he'.The problem with your second sentence (i.e., he should go to the hospital visit his uncle) is that the verb 'visit' lacks a function. Either give it a subject, as mamen suggest, or make it so it doesn't need a subject--that is, make it non-finite as such:
- He should go to the hospital (in order) to visit his uncle.
Many thanks for your help and explanation.
Hi taghavi,
-Such structures are frequently used to show purpose. Since theyre not existent in your mother tongue, it may sound a bit challenging to master them. You can substitute the to with a clause like so that he/she could/would/can to make sure the sentence is used to show a purpose:
He should go to the hospital to visit his uncle.
He should go to the hospital so that he can visit his uncle.
You can use the Persian words Taa and ke as good equivalents for to and so that he can in such English sentences.
-Non-finite verbs:
-As Soup said, you can use a non-finite verb in that sentence. They are usually of two types: infinitives and participles and they possess some characteristics:
1. They dont show the subject.
2. They dont show the tense.
3. Their tense is usually accordant with that of the main verb.
To stay in that house was unbearable.
Eating his breakfast, he decided to go.
-Does the following excerpt sound familiar to you?
The broken ice
Will run down to your feet
To make your toes warm
In the stream
Runing to the sea
"Multiple Sclerosis" (MS) poem
The broken ice will run down to your feet to make your toes warm.
The broken ice will run down to your feet so that it may make your toes warm.
Hello Chester,
Thanks for your describing.
I do know about such this structure, however, a teacher selected for her student the wrong form of this sentence; "He goes to the hospital visit her uncle". I was wondered if it was her right!!!!!!!!!In fact, I did convey sth wrong to her student. Now I am sure about my guess.

L'Esprit de Noel tour centers on Morgan Historic District
The Central City Opera Guild's 35th annual holiday home tour and boutique, L'Esprit de Noël, opens Nov. 18 in one of Denver's most historically significant neighborhoods, the Morgan Historic District. The public is invited to come take a look at five unique residences, decorated for the holidays, on Nov. 18 and 19.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day.
Tickets are $18 in advance or $20 at the door. They're available through the Central City Opera Box Office, 303-292-6700; online at www.centralcityopera.org (credit card fees apply) and at area King Soopers. Additional information can be found at www.lesprithometour.com.
The Morgan Historic District is an enclave of 57 homes along the southern border of the Denver Botanic Gardens. The neighborhood was developed in the 1920s and 1930s by some of Denver's most prominent citizens. All homes on the tour are considered historically significant, yet have been updated to meet the demands of modern living while meticulously preserving many unique characteristics of each home.
L'Esprit de Noel is organized by the Central City Opera Guild, and this year is being chaired by Pam Bansbach and her daughter, Brooke Maloy. Maloy's home will be the site for the patron preview that takes place on Nov. 17.
The preview is an occasion for those willing to pay top dollar for a candlelight viewing of the homes, and then gather for cocktails, carolers and a buffet supper at a home that will not be open for the tour. Tickets are $250 for benefactors, $150 for patrons and $90 for junior patrons (age 35 and younger) and are available the Central City Opera website or Box Office.
Coldwell Banker – Devonshire is L'Esprit's Presenting Sponsor.

The snooping wife of a junior sailor brought down the top pilot aboard the San Diego aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, a Navy investigation has revealed.
The story would read like a TV sitcom plot, if real lives weren't involved.
Capt. Jeffrey Winter was removed from command of the Vinson air wing on Sept. 20 for an affair with the air wing's female medical officer.
The affair was exposed when a petty officer second class brought home a portable computer drive containing work files – including Winter's emails to the female lieutenant.
The sailor's wife found the portable drive and looked through the files. She told a Navy investigator that she snooped because she was "extremely suspicious of her husband's activities on exercises and deployments due to past marital issues."
But it wasn't her husband's wrongdoing that she found.
In an email released by the Navy under the Freedom of Information Act, Winter writes to his female lieutenant, "I was obviously missing the passionate, no-holds-barred aspects of my nature when I met you. You brought it alive in me."
Winter, who is married, signed the email, "I love you a lot. Xoxoxo."
The name of the lieutenant, whom Winter called "Sugar," is redacted in the files provided by the Navy. She has left the service, according to the investigative report.
Winter admitted to the affair when questioned by a Navy investigator.
He said it started in February 2012, when Winter was deputy air wing commander.
The Vinson was in the middle of a six-month deployment at the time. Winter's email refers fondly to time they spent together in Perth, Australia, where the Vinson stopped for a five-day port visit in April 2012.
The captain told the investigator the affair ended this June.
The lieutenant wrote in a June email to Winter's Navy email account, "I love you and already miss you incredibly."
Winter lived as a "geographic bachelor" while stationed in the California Central Valley, according to the Navy report, but he visited his wife and family on weekends.
Since his removal, the former air wing commander has been found guilty of fraternization and adultery, crimes under military justice.
His punishment was a letter of reprimand at an Oct. 4 administrative hearing. A Navy spokeswoman said that further administrative action is pending.
Losing a command post is usually a career-ending moment, and now the letter of reprimand is another black mark on his career.
Winter declined to comment for this story.
He is one of 20 Navy commanding officers to be removed this year. Navy officials say they are holding leaders to a high standard by publicly announcing actions of this kind.
The trend in recent years is that personal misbehavior takes down more leaders than tactical mistakes, such as hitting a pier. Observers point out that email records and camera phones make it easier than ever to get caught when behaving badly.
The wife of the junior sailor eventually revealed the information she found to the No. 2 officer at Lemoore Naval Air Station, the Vinson air wing's home base.
And it could hurt her husband's career, though he may not be her husband for long.
In his report, the Navy investigator recommended a further look into the compromise of personal and official email.
The wife told Navy officials that the sailor, an information technology technician, brought home the files to work on them because they'd become inaccessible during transfer from ship to shore computers.
The sailor said he didn't know how his wife saw the files, as she didn't have his government pass code.
He also told the Navy investigator he was in the middle of a divorce.

Too Big to Fail
One of the most pernicious public policies aggravating the financial crisis is that of "too big to fail." The doctrine states that some banks (now financial institutions generally) are so large that their failure would incur "systemic risk" for the financial system. That sounds terrible and it is intended to. Financial services regulators and Treasury secretaries use it to frighten small children and congressmen. How can an elected official vote to incur systemic risk? He must vote to approve the bank bailout of the day. In fact, people who use the term cannot even agree among themselves as to what it means, much less what causes it and, therefore, what the appropriate response would be. I suggest the reader substitute the phrase "too politically connected to fail" whenever he sees "too big to fail." What follows will then be rendered intelligible.

Portrait Of A Woman, Slowly Being Driven Insane
Boo woke up just before 7 a.m. and before I could stumble into her room, had peed all over the floor. I don't know what this is - she's going to be five in a couple of days and has been potty trained for two years now. But the last couple of months, she wets the bed a couple of times a week and has peed on the floor several times, too. It's not diabetes - I've had her tested.
After breakfast, The Bug had to pee, too, and went into the bathroom. She peed on the floor rather than on the toilet. So I've cleaned up pee twice today, all before 8 a.m..
That Canadian Boy I Married and I had a spat this morning, too, which didn't do anything to help my mood.
Finally, I was walking into the kitchen with some dishes that had been left in the living room and slipped. The Bug had put a glass of orange juice on the floor, which I kicked over - because, really, I didn't expect there to be a glass there, plus I had my hands full. I went ass over teakettle, dropping the dishes and sliding into a dining room chair, which fell on top of me. I was covered in orange juice and whatever was in the glass I was carrying.
Needless to say, after cleaning all the crap off the floor, I went upstairs and took a shower and had a bit of a woe-is-me sniffle under the water.
I desperately need to get a full time job. This stay-at-home shit is going to be the death of me.
(And if anyone could tell me what to do to fix the template on this thing, I'd be eternally grateful. It's a mess.)

Could the melatonin be to blame? Maybe it's putting Boo into such a deep sleep, she doesn't wake up to pee? My 6yo waits and waits until she is DYING to go and I still have to remind her to go potty or I'm sure she'd still have accidents too.
Tough morning for sure though. Hope the day got better after that.

I dunno, I can tell you the other day (at her party no less) Allison was throwing a fit IN THE BATHROOM. Had locked herself in there, then pee'd on the floor. Claimed she didn't make it to the toilet in time. Seriously? YOU WERE IN THE BATHROOM FOR THAT PAST 15 MINUTES.
Then my mom yelled at me for yelling at her.

I'm sorry, I'm no help with the template.
Savannah wets the bed at night sometimes. I cut off liquids well before bed and have her pee before bed. But, it's not helping.
Melatonin didn't help Jeremy or myself. The doctor told me to try benedryl for him and THAT didn't work.

It was the relationship nobody thought would work. How could the stuffy, all business Blackberry get along with the smooth-operating hipster like Mac? Apparently love works in mysterious ways. RIM software announced they're bringing Blackberry Desktop to the Mac.
The program promises to offer the best of both worlds by allowing you to manage aspects of your BlackBerry smartphone. Macs will finally have the same functions PC users enjoy such as the ability to sync your iTunes playlists, personal information, make backups, install new software, and more.
And one bonus: beta users report the software is a bit faster than its PC cousin and comes with a few extras like sync progress meters.
A beta version is floating around on the web for those that just can't wait for the final version. You can visit Blackberry.com for more details. Maybe Blackberry will finally lose it's 'all work and no play' reputation.

A persistent economic downturn
In the absence of political change, Venezuela's economic situation remains extremely difficult. The economy is expected to contract again in 2019 against a backdrop of hyperinflation and a steady decline in oil production. Due to a lack of investment, oil production is at its lowest level ever, at just 1.2 million barrels per day in October 2018 compared with 2.4 million b/d before the crisis began in 2013. The mass exodus taking place (2.3 million people, or 7% of the population, have fled the country according to UN figures) is causing a brain drain that is particularly affecting PDVSA, the national oil company, and its production capacity. The drop in oil production – which accounts for 90% of exports, 50% of tax revenues and is the main source of foreign exchange – is constraining the resources available for non-oil activity. Already hit by government import restrictions and exchange controls, companies have also been severely affected by the minimum wage increases and price controls introduced by the government in 2018. As a result, the number of businesses and small businesses forced to close continues to increase, further curtailing the country's productive capacity. Hyperinflation, caused by increasing monetisation of the government deficit and the soaring prices of imported goods resulting from the fall of the bolivar, is seriously eroding household purchasing power. Private consumption is dependent on expatriate remittances traded on the black market, and there is an acute lack of basic necessities. Investments continue to decline in what is still a very difficult business environment, featuring arbitrary expropriations and intrusive state controls and inspections.
A precarious fiscal and external situation
The sharp decline in oil production since the beginning of the crisis has led to a fall in fiscal revenues and an explosion in the government deficit. To compensate for the lack of financing, the government is relying on monetisation and oil-for-loan deals with Russia and China. In arrears on principal payments on its sovereign and quasi-sovereign (PDVSA) bonds since November 2, 2017 to private creditors, and since December 14, 2017 to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the government did start to make payments on PDVSA 2020 bonds at the end of 2018. These securities are secured by 51% of the shares of Citgo, a PDVSA subsidiary in the United States and a key partner of the state-owned company. In this setting, some creditors affected by the partial default in 2017 have already decided to file appeals claiming that the government has the capacity to pay. New appeals are likely to be introduced in the coming months. Debt restructuring is still hampered by US sanctions that prevent US creditors from participating in the negotiations.
From an external accounts perspective, the current account balance is expected to remain in surplus. The sharp contraction in imports – combined with the relative increase in oil exports with the restart of facilities in the Caribbean following the agreement with ConocoPhilips in August 2018 – puts the balance of goods in surplus. This surplus, combined with increased expatriate remittances, finances the services deficit related to weak tourism performances and the cost of oil engineering services, as well as debt interest payments. Foreign investment will continue to be very limited and will not be enough to finance debt repayment, prolonging the reduction in foreign exchange reserves, which stood at USD 8.8 billion in November 2018. These low reserves, combined with capital flight, are fuelling the decline of the bolivar despite the redenomination carried out in August 2018. The new sovereign bolivar introduced in August 2018 corresponds to 100,000 units of the old currency. However, this measure has had no effect on hyperinflation or the gap between the official exchange rate and the black market rate because it does nothing to change the underlying macroeconomic imbalances.
The political situation remains tense
Few changes are expected on the political front. The government of Nicolas Maduro (Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela) still dominates most of the institutions and enjoys the support of the army, while a growing share of the population is principally concerned with securing basic necessities. The opposition, represented by Mesa Unitaria Democratica (MUD), is split by internal divisions that prevent it from standing up to the government and agreeing on a strategy, particularly vis-à-vis the largely pro-regime Constituent Assembly set up in August 2017. However, discussions with the government could start ahead of the municipal elections scheduled for December 2019.
On the international scene, the government is trying to establish closer ties to Russia and China in order to obtain funding, while the European Union and the United States, followed by a majority of Latin American countries, are stepping up sanctions. At the end of 2018, the United States said that if nothing changed, it might even add Venezuela to the list of state sponsors of terrorism, alongside Iran, Syria, North Korea and Sudan.

Date: Thursday 13th December
Time: 6-8 p.m.
Place: British Academy, Reading Room, 10 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y5AH
What kinds of diasporas are formed by connected migrants? Do the online networks woven by migrants scattered throughout the world, and the traces they leave on the Web, reveal traditional or novel functions of diasporas? Do these 'e-diasporas' merely mirror physical diasporas, are they an extension to these diasporas, or do they generate new forms of communities? From a more general perspective, can they be considered as an echo-chamber of globalization – of a society which is itself a diaspora in the making? And how do digital methods help us to adopt a more reflexive stance on this phenomenon?
On this occasion, an event will be held at the British Academy in London, involving contributors as well as invited speakers, from 6 to 8 p.m on Thursday 13th December 2012.…

Republican state Treasurer Walker Stapleton to run for second term
UPDATE: Was just asked why I didn't highlight John Elway on the campaign team. I said I thought having JJ was more important!
Treasurer Walker Stapleton today announced he is seeking a second term and has the backing of some of the state's best-known bold faced names, from attorney Norm Brownstein to finance guy Blair Richardson, who was heavily involved in Democrat John Hickenlooper's 2010 gubernatorial bid.
Among Stapleton's supporters: JJ Ament, who was one of three Republicans running for state treasurer in 2010. Stapleton beat Ament in the GOP primary, then unseated Democrat Cary Kennedy in November.
So far, two Democrats have announced they are challenging Stapleton: former Congresswoman Betsy Markey and Broomfield Mayor Pat Quinn.
Although Stapleton has tangled with Democrats over government pensions, for the most part he has enjoyed a cordial relationship with Gov. Hickenlooper and the Democratic-controlled legislature.
"My office is not concerned with grabbing headlines but rather we've focused on keeping our head down, safely investing taxpayers money, correcting inefficient government policies and serving Colorado's taxpayers," Stapleton said.
The honorary co-chairs of his campaign are former U.S. Sen. Hank Brown, former Gov. Bill Owens and Attorney General John Suthers. You can check out the rest of the campaign team at Stapleton's website.

Within without 2010
My work is about space and the light that inhabits it. It is about how you confront that space and plumb it with vision. It is about your seeing, like the wordless thought that comes from looking into fire. — James Turrell
Optimum viewing times for
Sun 17 Nov 2019

19 : 49
Open daily unless otherwise specified due to maintenance.
No bookings required.
Closed Christmas Day.
Within without is a major Skyspace by American artist James Turrell, one of his largest and most complex to date. Light is Turrell's medium, and his Skyspace is a viewing chamber that affects the way we perceive the sky. Commissioned by the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Within without is located in the Gallery's new Australian Garden on the south side of the building.
We enter the work via a long sloping walkway. Inside is a large square-based pyramid with soft red ochre interior walls. A stupa made of Victorian basalt rises at the centre, highlighted by turquoise water. The stupa contains the viewing chamber—a simple domed space, open to the sky. A moonstone, set into the centre of the floor, echoes the oculus above.
Within the Skyspace, light seems more painterly. Movement and sound are intensified, the sky shimmers and pulsates. Within without is at its most dramatic and complex at dawn and dusk, marking the transition between night and day.
In asking us to take the time to notice these subtleties, Turrell reveals the immensity of the natural world and the beauty of celestial architecture. Within without offers artlessness, simplicity, unhurried perception. Within without has been constructed as part of the Gallery's Stage 1 building project.

Glitter and Be Gay... in the U.K.!
While England may be filled with glorious pomp and circumstance, it also has its fair share of glitz, glamour and gay. Same-sex marriage legislation was passed in England and Wales in 2013, with the first marriages scheduled for March 29, 2014. Whether you're looking to visit the Crown Jewels or present one to your betrothed, there are plenty of LGBT celebrations scheduled throughout the year where you can express your love or find a romance "across the pond."

Crews discover body of 19-year-old drowning victim
Mulberry police said crews have discovered the body of the 19-year-old drowning victim at Bluff Hole in Mulberry.
Timothy Ryan Thompson of Spiro, Okla. was found by crews Tuesday afternoon.
Police said Thomspon was swimming with three friends at Bluff Hole Monday evening when he went under the water and did not resurface.
The Crawford County dive team returned to the Mulberry River Tuesday morning.
Dive teams in boats searched the Bluff Hole Park launch area using sonar to see beneath the murky water using GPS maps to help divers search the waters.
The victim's friends and family searched the banks of the Mulberry River using flashlights throughout the night.
They said his friends noticed the man was having trouble swimming and tried to pull him out, but lost their grip and he went underwater.
Authorities said they have contacted the victim's family.

'EaDo' pioneers hope rail, Dynamo stadium put area on track
Economy hurt earlier turnaround, but residents, retailers are optimistic this time
In the shadow of the new Dynamo stadium, a vibrant urban community is taking root.
Art galleries, bars and restaurants you'd expect to see in neighborhoods like Montrose and the Heights have opened in this area just east of downtown. Under construction are luxury townhouses, some listed for more than $500,000.
But even as the stadium and a planned light-rail line bring more attention to this traditionally industrial area, some wonder if the growth will last.
The owner of Lucky's Pub has had success with his sports bar on St. Emanuel, but his two retail businesses across the street have been slower to take off and he's not convinced that the influx of soccer fans will do much to change that.
"If I opened another bar, I wouldn't do it here," said Anthony Wegmann, who also owns Cork Soakers Wine Bar and Epicurean Express, a market and deli.
Some see tremendous potential.
Real-estate agent Ofelia McDonald recently discovered the area and is now listing parcels in the single-family neighborhood between Navigation and Harrisburg in the Second Ward area.
"I wanted a really cool area to work in that was untapped," McDonald said during a recent tour of the neighborhood, which she compares to East Austin, a part of that city transitioning from low income to trendy.
Besides the nearby light-rail line, she pointed out the views of downtown and places like the Moon Tower Inn, a hot dog and craft-beer stand that recently closed to renovate.
For years, developers have been betting on a turnaround because of the area's proximity to downtown and cheap land. They built apartments and condos and renovated older structures hoping to attract residents seeking an urban lifestyle in a newly discovered area.
Market struggled
When there weren't as many pioneers as hoped, landlords offered free rent to fill some of their units and builders gave big discounts.
The market continued to struggle when the recession hit and some investors left the area, leaving developments unfinished.
When the city's professional soccer team committed to building a new stadium, however, interest began to return.
A cluster of new townhouses is nearing completion a block from Trish and Kevin Ridgon.
"It's amazing how fast they're selling," said Trish Rigdon, executive director of a Houston film organization.
The Rigdons, empty-nesters and Dynamo season ticket holders, bought a three-story townhouse in 2010 that's now just a few blocks from the stadium and across from the light-rail line. The couple often walk to Discovery Green and use the hike-and-bike trails; their favorite burger place is Sparkle's, a hamburger stand on Dowling.
The developer of their townhouse community, InTownHomes, said at least 60 percent of the buyers there are couples whose children have grown and moved out.
An affiliated builder, Lovett Homes, now has begun work on a new section of units starting at $525,000. The four-story townhomes - some as large as 3,600 square feet - were designed by Lake Flato, a San Antonio-based architecture firm that's been recognized for its modern designs.
BBVA Compass Stadium, which opened this month, is at the corner of Texas and Dowling in what's become known as the "EaDo" district - for east downtown.
Over the past few years, the bank that paid $20 million for naming rights to the stadium has financed townhouse developments in the area, too.
"From a real-estate perspective, if gas prices keep going up, people will gravitate to inner-city living because they don't want to spend two hours a day commuting," said Brock Tautenhahn, vice president of residential construction lending for BBVA Compass.
The stadium, he said, has helped drive traffic to the townhouses. As more housing is built, the area will attract additional commercial development, "which it desperately needs."
When it comes to the stadium's impact on the area, some observers take a more cautious view.
Matthew J. Festa, an associate professor at the South Texas College of Law, cited national research questioning the economic impacts of some sports facilities.
"Simply having tens of thousands of people show up for X number of nights a year doesn't necessarily deliver economic benefits," said Festa, who specializes in property law and land use.
Ballpark didn't do it
When the Astros' baseball stadium opened in 2000, it did not unleash the economic development boon some were expecting.
Wegmann pointed out that the Dyanmo stadium is smaller and will host fewer games than Minute Maid Park.
The bar owner, however, does think the stadium brings the east end more "legitimacy." Plus, he said, the U.S. 59 overpass, which separates EaDo from downtown, is now less of a psychological barrier than in the past.
Architect Daniel Ortiz is ready to move into the area because he likes its mixed-use nature and the transit options that will be available once the light-rail line opens.
But Ortiz doesn't want a new townhouse in a gated community. He's looking for a single-family home, which he says has been hard to find. He wants to get in before prices get too high.
"I think the light rail is eventually going to take off," Ortiz said. "It'll be cheaper to buy now versus buying in after it's all established."

Scholarship Opportunity for Vocational/Technical StudentsFriday, January 13th, 2012
The English Department's North Campus Cultural Committee is once again sponsoring a Scholarship Contest specifically for Vocational/Technical students at CFCC. Last year, eleven students' submitted essays, nine disciplines were represented, and three students were awarded scholarships for their outstanding work. While last year was a huge success, we hope this year even more students will participate in this excellent opportunity.
For this contest, students will be asked to describe a day in the life of an individual in the field they are pursuing. Students will be able to write from personal experience if they are currently working in the field, or students can shadow or interview someone in the field being studied.
It is our hope that students who participate in this contest will have the opportunity to learn more about their discipline while utilizing their writing skills. Our committee believes this opportunity will enable Vocational/Technical students to connect their professional and academic worlds.
I hope that you will share the attached flyer with the Department Chairs and faculty in the Vocational/Technical programs and ask them to encourage their students to participate in this excellent opportunity. If you, your faculty, or your students have any questions regarding the scholarship contest, please contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or at extension 7244.

Fitness company Fitwall wants to become the Apple Store of health clubs.
We first saw the news on Smithsonian.
Fitwall's clubs comprise of just 16 walls.
Each seven-foot wall has four stationary rungs to support your feet and four hand grips.
The walls are designed for vertical training, so things like squats, calf raises, and pull-ups.
Before you hop on the wall, you put on a wearable Bluetooth monitor over your chest. Throughout the 40-minute workout, it sends data to the iPad located at the top of each wall.
That way each athlete can track how she improves over time or even how she stacks up to the people next to her.
After the workout, the trainers go over everyone's results.
The first Fitwall opened earlier this summer in La Jolla, Calif. Fitwall plans to launch in Manhattan next year.

XMNR: The first official trailer for Neill Blomkamp's Elysium starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster was released Tuesday. We couldn't help but be amused at several elements that tied the sci-fi parable on class warfare to the Halo franchise for the Xbox and Xbox 360. And why wouldn't it? Blomkamp was originally slated to direct the Halo film that was ultimately shelved in 2007.
Should remind you of Ringworld or any number of space habitat projects from the 70s.
I want to see this movie, but tbh (and I know I'll get disagreed to the moon), I don't like Matt Damon. Yeah, yeah, he is a good actor etc. Etc, but I don't like him. He was good in Saving Private Ryan (he didn't say too much, but when he did it was good).
He seems like the generic go-to guy for movies. I don't hate him, I think he is a good actor, but something, and I don't know what, makes me not interested in his movies. Sorry.
I love halo and have played since the first installment in the franchise, but we shouldn't give it this much credit. I think it's important to remember that Halo did not invent space stations, the word "Elysium," and exoskeletons. These wonderful things had been a part of science fiction franchises long before the arrival of Halo.
Blomkamp said that he still wants to make the Halo movie. I would doubt it would go down well just like most video game movies because the directors seem to have little to no experience of the source material.

Story highlights
- The disappearance of Malaysia Flight 370 has made some nervous fliers more nervous
- Statistics are on the flier's side: More people die in car accidents than in airplane crashes
- Even eating is more dangerous -- you're more likely to die by choking on your dinner
I'm a little nervous about flying right now.
You can guess why. An airplane takes off from Malaysia's main airport and disappears. An international coalition of countries has been searching for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 for more than a week without success. How does an airplane disappear?
Closer to home, a U.S. Airways flight blows a tire on takeoff and smartphone pictures show the plane's nose hitting the ground. Fortunately, the pilot manages to land without seriously injuring anyone. A Delta Air Lines aircraft loses a panel on one of its wings during a flight from Orlando, Florida, to Atlanta. It also lands safely. These scary-sounding mishaps are smaller reminders that things can and do go wrong
Despite how rare airline accidents are, many travelers get nervous when major -- and even relatively minor -- incidents occur. It's not rational thinking. The odds of dying in an airplane crash are really low.
There were 35.1 million commercial flights worldwide, and 15 fatal accidents with 414 fatalities in 2012, the last full year for which the International Air Transport Association has Ascend Flightglobal data.
And the odds are even better if you only flew within the United States: There were no airline fatalities in the U.S. in 2012, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
You know you're more likely to die in a car crash. More than 33,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes in 2012 in the United States alone. Also specific to the United States, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 2012 Traffic Safety Facts Data reports a fatality rate of 1.14 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled.
Over the course of your lifetime, you're more likely to die by killing yourself (1 in 106), drowning (1 in 1,112) or choking on your food (1 in 3,842), according to the National Safety Council.
Now that we know all that data, why do air disasters still unnerve us?
The mind was built to flee
From an evolutionary perspective, the mind's primary objective is to look out for anything that might harm us and avoid it at all costs, says Julie Pike, a psychologist at the Anxiety Disorders Treatment Center in Durham, North Carolina. This has helped people live longer for thousands of years, she says.
This discomfort over this latest airline incident reminds us how little control we have over many aspects of our lives.
"We like to be able to see, hear and control where we're going and what we're doing; we like situations in which we believe we could make an exit if necessary, grab the wheel, or jump out of the way," says Pike, via e-mail. "With flying, that's impossible."
This is one weird airline mystery
Commercial airline pilot and aviation author Patrick Smith says the intense media coverage causes people to lose track of the fact that, despite occasional tragedies, commercial flying has never been safer than it is right now.
"Worldwide, the trend over the past several years has been one of steady improvement, to the point where last year was the safest in the entire history of commercial aviation," says Smith, who blogs about air travel at askthepilot.com, via e-mail. "Hopefully their number continues to diminish, but a certain number of accidents will always be inevitable."
"In some ways, the weirdness of the Malaysia Airlines story speaks to how well we have engineered away what once were the most common causes of crashes. Those that still occur tend to be more mysterious and strange than in decades past."
Airline fatalities are rare, but the possibility is still scary. What can we do about it?
Face your fear
Don't try to run from the fear, suggests Pike. "Rather than trying to control the plane, work on accepting the desire to control it," she says.
"Thank your mind for trying to protect you. Focus on simply noticing the thoughts, feelings and sensations without attaching to them or trying to make them go away."
Tell the crew you're scared, suggests flight attendant Heather Poole, author of "Cruising Attitude: Tales of Crashpad, Crew Drama, and Crazy Passengers at 35,000 Feet."
"If we know you're scared, we'll go out of our way to be reassuring if the airplane does encounter a few bumps," says Poole, via e-mail. "We'll update you on whatever information the captain passes along to us regarding delays, mechanicals, weather or turbulence. I've gone as far as to sit in an empty seat beside someone and hold their hand."
Poole, who's been a flight attendant for 18 years, suggests passengers who hate turbulence sit close to the cockpit -- the front of the plane isn't as bumpy as the rear. Passengers can also download the MyRadar app to track the bumpy weather.
Or how about a prayer? Artist's Way author Julia Cameron writes out prayers for her specific fears of flying: takeoff, turbulence and landing. She also takes a nice stack of gossip magazines: "Buy tabloids. Celebrity gossip is engrossing. Celebrity cellulite can make you forget turbulence."

Most of us tend to make plans in the beginning of the year, and that is good. But some people just let God out of their plans. We start planning every month, expectantly waiting that every goal could be achieved as planned. Our God is one of planning and He makes the bests plans. Why not take the first step this of putting all of our planning in God's hands instead? We are starting the year and we still have time to do it.
How we can put our plans in God's hands?
- Praying: presenting in prayer every plan or goal we have in mind is the best way to do it. Asking for His will to be manifested in them. Even, asking for His approval.
- Guided by the Word: we have the best book full with wisdom, where God speak, teaches and guide us in every detail of our lives.
There are plenty of bible verses that give us confidence about this practice:
- May He grant you your heart's desire And fulfill all your plans.
- ~'For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,' says the Lord , 'plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope.
- A man's mind plans his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord directs his steps and establishes them.
Are you letting good take control of each one of your plans this year?

Success Story
Sourcing suppliers through different channels is of paramount importance in any business - none more so than the Swiss watch industry
Providing online technical and support services to timepiece materials suppliers and manufacturers requires close and constant attention to industry developments and a speedy response to client requests.
That's why BestFit Materials Co has been using hktdc.com for the past five years to source quality timepiece materials suppliers for its innovative Matsys Online concept that seeks to solve the problem of instant obsolescence.
A subscription to Matsys Online gives both materials houses and watchmakers alike benefit from information that is no older than 30 days, enabling them to access new and existing part numbers as they are assigned by BestFit.
Managing Director Gerald A Wilson rates hktdc.com as one of the best sourcing platforms in the world. "It is a reliable, large-scale website with a comprehensive and resourceful supplier database," he maintains.
The BestFit chief strongly believes that online sourcing is definitely a big trend in today's business world. "hktdc.com is an important platform to source new products and new manufacturers," says Mr Wilson, who further praises the website as a simple and user-friendly portal.
He points out frankly that he is "not particularly interested" in the origins of manufacture, preferring to put more focus on the quality of suppliers and products. "In fact, there is strong competition in the cyberworld," Mr Wilson observes. "Although online trading activities are popular, the key point is how to select the most suitable suppliers."
To Mr Wilson, a clear product classification and a comprehensive range of information are important criteria for a sourcing website. "hktdc.com is very good, especially when it offers a lot of detailed production information that arouses my interest," he adds.
In addition, hktdc.com has a resourceful database, gathering all important information in which BestFit is interested. "For example, companies' background information and product details are precise and accurate," Mr Wilson says. "Furthermore, a broad array of product categories coupled with quick search capability can simplify the entire sourcing procedure while enhancing our working efficiency."
Another key aspect is the fact that the manufacturers registered with hktdc.com are serious suppliers. "They reply almost instantly whenever we send enquiries," Mr Wilson notes.
Searching through hktdc.com enables him to build relationships with 4-5 new suppliers every year.
He recently took advantage of hktdc.com Customised Sourcing Service to meet exhibitors online, and found a group of potential suppliers to meet at the HKTDC Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair.
"To know suppliers through the sourcing platform and get the information and replies directly from them is the most effective way of doing business," Mr Wilson believes. "Of course, going to HKTDC exhibitions and sourcing through its product magazines further complements hktdc.com."
An intelligent use of the above three channels is useful and effective, complementing hktdc.com's 100,000-plus quality suppliers and more than 700,000 registered buyers from all over the world.
Since it was established in 2000, hktdc.com has acted as an important bridge between buyers and suppliers, creating unlimited opportunities for both parties.

Meet suppliers before HKTDC trade fairs
Buyers who use hktdc.com can enjoy a free matching service - entitled hktdc.com Customised Sourcing Service - that helps them zero in on specific products, saving time in meeting relevant suppliers at the fair. Before or during the fair, buyers can get a list of matching exhibitors and suppliers that consists of supplier company information, booth numbers (if applicable), product names and photos.

Charlotte, NC — Peak Fitness has faced a lot of adversity in recent years. The North Carolina-based club company was sued by North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper two years ago after the office received 350 complaints relating to the Beyond Fitness clubs the company acquired in 2006. The attorney general also accused Peak Fitness of publishing misleading newspaper advertisements.
The result was a January settlement in which Peak Fitness agreed to make changes in its customer service, including changes in its billing and refund policies. But the trouble did not stop there for Peak Fitness.
Peak Capital Holdings LLC, parent company of Peak Fitness clubs, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last month. Court records show that Peak Capital Holdings owes as many as 200 creditors between $500,000 and $1 million, and that its assets are less than $50,000.
Laura Haid, the vice president of operations for Peak Fitness, said in a statement that Peak Capital Holdings was working with creditors to reorganize, and that the company was affected by a challenging economy.
"During these tough economic times, we have to make sacrifices and difficult decisions to sustain our operations," Haid said in the statement.
The Peak Fitness Web site listed 25 clubs in the Carolinas this month, down from 33 last month. Four clubs in the Triangle region of North Carolina (anchored by Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill) were part of the bankruptcy reorganization, and other clubs in the Carolinas were expected to follow, a company attorney said. The number of clubs in the Triangle region was reduced from 12 to eight. Since the bankruptcy filing, a club in Winston-Salem, NC, and a club in Rock Hill, SC, closed.
The rest of the Peak Fitness clubs, including 11 in the Charlotte area, are owned by private holding companies. These clubs remain profitable and were not affected by the bankruptcy filing, Haid said. However, Peak's attorney said after the filing that the company was evaluating each of its clubs.
Lawsuits show that a handful of Peak clubs owe the IRS more than $110,000 in taxes. Other claims involve contract disputes and money owed to electric companies, developers, a pool service company and more, the Raleigh News & Observer reports.
