Heart Disease
Strength of Evidence
There has been a substantial amount of research on omega-3 supplements and heart disease. Experts agree that seafood rich in omega-3 fatty acids should be included in a heart-healthy diet. However, omega-3s in supplement form have not been shown to protect against heart disease.
Research Results
A Diet Rich in Seafood
- Epidemiological studies done more than 30 years ago noted relatively low death rates due to cardiovascular disease in Eskimo populations with high seafood consumption. Since then, much research has been done on seafood and heart disease. The results provide moderate, though not conclusive evidence that people who eat seafood at least once a week are less likely to die of heart disease than those who rarely or never eat seafood.
- The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 (2.9MB PDF) includes a new recommendation that adults eat 8 or more ounces of seafood (fish or shellfish) per week because it provides a range of nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids. (Smaller amounts are recommended for young children.) The Dietary Guidelines report notes that eating the recommended amount of seafood is associated with reduced heart disease deaths.
Omega-3 Supplements and Risk of Heart Disease
Many studies have evaluated the effects of omega-3 supplements on heart disease risk. In these studies, researchers compared the number of cardiovascular events (such as heart attacks or strokes), or the number of deaths in people who were given omega-3 supplements with those in people who were given inactive substances (placebos) or standard care.
- Most of these studies involved people who already had evidence of heart disease. A smaller number of studies included people with no history of heart disease.
- The results of individual studies have been inconsistent; some showed evidence that omega-3s were protective, but others did not.
- In 2012, two groups of scientists conducted meta-analyses of these studies; one group analyzed only studies in people with a history of heart disease, and the other group analyzed studies in people both with and without a history of heart disease. Neither meta-analysis found convincing evidence of a protective effect of omega-3s.
What We Know About Eating Seafood and Prevention of Heart Disease
- Eating seafood rich in omega-3s a few times a week might provide enough omega-3s to protect the heart; more may not be better. A recent meta-analysis showed 1 to 4 servings of seafood per week was associated with a significant reduction in risk of heart disease mortality. However, consuming more than 5 servings of seafood per week was associated with only a marginal, additional protective effect on heart disease mortality.
- Some of the benefits of a diet that includes regular seafood consumption may be related to factors other than its omega-3 content, or result from people eating seafood in place of less healthful foods.
- There is also evidence that people who eat seafood have generally healthier lifestyles, and these other lifestyle characteristics may be responsible for the lower incidence of cardiovascular disease.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Strength of Evidence
- Much research has been conducted on the effects of omega-3s on the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
Research Results
- A 2012 systematic review concluded that the types of omega-3s found in seafood and fish oil are modestly helpful in relieving symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. In the studies included in the review, many of the participants reported that when they were taking fish oil they had briefer morning stiffness, less joint swelling and pain, and less need for anti-inflammatory drugs to control their symptoms.
Infant Development
Strength of Evidence
- Many studies have been conducted on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids and infant health, such as brain and eye development.
Research Results
- A moderate amount of evidence suggests that consuming adequate amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, during pregnancy and breastfeeding is associated with improvements in infant health, such as brain and eye development.
- The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010 recommends that women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consume 8 to 12 ounces of seafood per week from a variety of seafood types that are low in methyl mercury as part of a healthy eating pattern and while staying within their calorie needs.
Diseases of the Brain and the Eye
Strength of Evidence
Research on omega-3 fatty acids and diseases of the brain and eye are ongoing, but currently there is not enough evidence to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of omega-3s for these conditions.
Research Results
DHA plays important roles in the functioning of the brain and the eye. Researchers are actively investigating the possible benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in preventing or treating a variety of brain- and eye-related conditions, including the following:
- Diseases of the eye, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD; an eye disease that can cause vision loss in older people) and dry eye syndrome. The effects of omega-3s on AMD were investigated in a large National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored study called Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2), which showed that adding omega-3 fatty acids to a supplement combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and zinc did not improve the effectiveness of the supplement combination.
- Diseases of the brain or nervous system, such as cognitive decline and multiple sclerosis.
- Mental and behavioral health problems, such as depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and schizophrenia.
- Omega-3 fatty acid supplements usually do not have negative side effects. When side effects do occur, they typically consist of minor gastrointestinal symptoms, such as belching, indigestion, or diarrhea.
- Whether people with fish or shellfish allergies can safely consume fish oil supplements has not been well studied.
- Omega-3 supplements may extend bleeding time (the time it takes for a cut to stop bleeding). People who take drugs that affect bleeding time, such as anticoagulants ("blood thinners") or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), should discuss the use of omega-3 fatty acid supplements with a health care provider.
- Fish liver oils, such as cod liver oil, are not the same as fish oil. Fish liver oils contain vitamins A and D as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Both of these vitamins can be toxic in large doses. The amounts of vitamins in fish liver oil supplements vary from one product to another.
- The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that women who are pregnant or breastfeeding consume at least 8 ounces but no more than 12 ounces of seafood each week and not eat certain types of fish that are high in mercury—a toxin that can harm the nervous system of a fetus or young child.
- There is conflicting evidence on how DHA might affect the risk of prostate cancer:
- Three large prospective studies now suggest concern that omega-3 fatty acids/DHA supplements may be associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. A 2013 study showed an increased risk of prostate cancer among men with high blood concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids. A 2011 study found that men with higher blood levels of DHA (which reflect higher intakes of this fatty acid) had an increased risk of high-grade (more aggressive) prostate cancer, and an earlier study found increased risks of both low-grade and high-grade prostate cancer in men with higher blood levels of DHA.
- On the other hand, a combined analysis of data from multiple studies showed that eating seafood, which is a good source of DHA, is associated with a lower likelihood of dying from prostate cancer.

White collar crime is on the rise in Florida, including embezzlement which involves the theft of assets by an individual in a position of trust or responsibility for managing or monitoring the assets of another person. Although embezzlement often arises in an employment setting, it can also involve family members stealing from an elderly or disabled relative in their care, or a fiduciary misappropriating funds from a client's trust account. In any event, embezzlement is a serious offense that carries severe penalties.
Herman Law, P.A. is widely recognized as a leading white collar criminal defense firm in Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and throughout South Florida. We have a proven track record of aggressively and successfully defending clients against embezzlement charges. Contact an embezzlement defense lawyer to obtain legal guidance.
Embezzlement/Employee Theft
In short, embezzlement is considered to be property theft by someone who had legal access to another's assets, but not legal ownership of it. The crime not only involves stealing for personal gain, but the violation of a special position of trust. In an employment context, embezzlement occurs when an employee steals company assets. Examples include:
- Officers embezzling company funds
- A CEO underreporting profits
- A bookkeeper altering journal entries and expense reports
- A professional investor diverting client funds into his or her own accounts
Embezzlement Penalties in South Florida
Embezzlement can be charged as petit theft or grand theft, depending on the value of the property taken, which are either misdemeanor and felony offenses, respectively, and the penalties are as follows:
- First-Degree Felony – If the amount of money or property taken is $100,000 or more, punishable by up to 30 years in prison, a fine up to $10,000 or both, and probation.
- Second-Degree Felony – If the theft amounts to $20,000 or more, but less than $100,000, punishable by up to 15 years in prison, a fine up to $10,000 or both, and probation.
- Third-Degree Felony – If theft is $300 or more, but less than $20,000, punishable by up to five years in prison, a fine up to $5,000 or both, and probation.
- First Degree Misdemeanor – If the theft of money or property is valued at $100 or more, but less than $300, punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine up to $1,000.
- Second Degree Misdemeanor – If the theft is less than $100, or certain types of property were stolen, punishable by 60 days in jail and a fine up to $500.
In addition, the court will order those who are convicted to make restitution by returning the money or property to the victim. If the assets are no longer available, it may be necessary to make monetary payments over time. Moreover, if the embezzlement occurs during a state of emergency declared by the governor, or certain type of property are involved, such as emergency medical equipment or a firearm, the charges may be elevated, resulting in more severe penalties. Lastly, federal charges may apply if the theft involves federal property or there is a relationship to federal rights or responsibilities.
Defending Embezzlement Charges in South Florida
At Herman Law, we have the skills and resources that are essential for designing successful embezzlement defense strategies. Because it is necessary for prosecutors to show that the accused intended to take the money or property, charges can be defended by showing that individual believed he or she was the true owner of the assets that were allegedly embezzled. Other possible defenses include insufficient evidence, duress and entrapment.
By collaborating with a respected network of forensic experts, we will conduct a thorough investigation, collect and analyze substantial amounts of evidence, including bank and financial statements and other relevant information, and work diligently to win an acquittal. Depending on the circumstances, we may seek to have the charges reduced.
Regardless of the charges you are facing, embezzlement is a serious crime. Beyond imprisonment and significant fines, a conviction will result in a criminal record that can permanently damage your reputation and severely restrict future employment opportunities, particularly for any type of job that involves access to money or funds. If you are facing embezzlement charges, you need a dedicated advocate in your corner. Call our office today for a free consultation.

Strange lane-jumpsuit
Can we all just take a second to appreciate how gorgeous this jumpsuit is!! Jumpsuits are my go to thing especially if I am on holiday or when its those not so warm sunny days. They are always super comfy and more so now are becoming such a statement piece with the likes of plunging necklines or backless like this one. I was sent this jumpsuit by the lovely Kelsie at Strange lane and it is by far my favourite jumpsuit I own it is super light weight and is made from silk which literally feels amazing! Although these styles have been ever so popular especially in the blogger scheme I have always been hesitant to buy one as I don't like clothes that are too revealing or having the constant worry of it gaping at the side or anything. However this one is perfect it still has the amazing backless detail but has a high neckline and adjusting straps to ensure no gaping at the sides haha! I kept the rest of my outfit super casual just adding my gold watch and a pair of birkenstocks. Strange lane has some perfect summer clothes at the moment STRANGELANE so why not grab yourself a little treat and enter code 'STYLETHETREND' for 25% off!!!

Top Tips for Learning a Language
1. Talk, talk, talk. If there is any 'secret' or tip for learning a language it's that you need to talk as much as possible. Reading and listening might be useful, but there really is no better way to improve your fluency by speaking!
2. Studying a language as intensively as possible is the best way to learn. It's much more beneficial to study 3 hours a day for a week, than 5 hours a week for 3 weeks, even though it equates to the same amount of study time.
3. One of the most useful things to do is learn to most 100 common words in the language. These can easily be found on the internet. The reason for this is that in most languages many, many words are used over and over again to form the bulk of most speech.
4. Thinking as much as you can in your target language is a great way to practice. This doesn't mean you have to be thinking about politics or philosophy. You can simply just think of the names of food or basic everyday items as you are going about your business.
5. Try and supplement your learning experience with as many materials as you can. This could be listening to the radio, reading children's books and newspaper or chatting with people online. The more exposure you get to the target language the better.
6. Understanding the different phases that you will go through is key to staying motivated to being successful. First you'll understand basic things, then you'll think you know nothing. This cycle will continue as you progress to each level of learning a language, But you'll get there in the end!
7. Enjoy the process. Though it can be frustrating at times. The more you can try and relax and enjoy the experience the easier and fruitful it will be!

[Updated Jan. 2, 3:45 p.m.]
Dwyane Wade was not sure exactly what made him feel ill just before tipoff against Dallas on Friday, but he wanted to make one thing clear: It was not the effects of a hangover.
[What are Heat doing with Chris Birdman Andersen and Amar'e Stoudemire?]
[Chris Bosh makes his case for 2016 All-Star Game in Toronto]
[Dwyane Wade making 25-year-old plays in a 34-year-old body]
Wade, who received intravenous fluids during the first quarter and entered the game in the second, told reporters he was dehydrated and did not know why. He was not asked if alcohol was at play, but obviously was aware of the speculation and shot it down on his Twitter account shortly after midnight.
"No hang over guys," he tweeted. "I didn't even drink my Wade Wine last night.. 2 many sodas I'm sure.."
Update: After practice today Wade said the tweet was in jest rather than trying to shoot down any rumors.
"I didn't feel like I had to; I just did it," he said. "It was more so a joke with my fans. It was just me having a conversation with my fans. And you see the Wade Wine plug? Come on, guys. I know what I'm doing."
Wade seemed fine in the locker room about an hour before the game and headed out for his usual pre-game routine. During the team warm-ups, within 20 minutes of tipoff, he had issues.
"I was out there warming up and was just a little weak," he said. "I decided to take a seat and I started shaking a little bit and got extra weak, so I decided to come back (in the locker room) and have the trainers try to see what was the problem. Got a couple IVs in me. The doc thought I was a little dehydrated, but it was all good.
"The doctors did a good job making sure that's all it was — a lot of technical, blood pressure, trying to take your temperature and everything. But it was all good. I felt a lot better when I got the fluid in me."
It was the 10th game of his career playing as a reserve, and he was quite effective. Wade gave the Heat 10 points and seven assists in 19 minutes as they knocked down the Mavericks 106-82.

Mama's got a new man!
On Sunday, Heidi Klum was spotted smooching 28-year-old Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz in Los Angeles while filming her hit show America's Got Talent in photos shared by Daily Mail.
The 44-year-old German beauty, who was decked out in a sequined red suit, was reportedly on break when the rocker dropped by to give the mother of four some love.
While Klum was all decked out in her dazzling best, Kaulitz was casual in a green T-shirt and sweatpants. The music man pulled his locks back with a black baseball hat.
Heidi and her younger man were previously spotted leaving West Hollywood hotspot Delilah together on March 14.

Jackson, William Henry (1843-1942) Thirty Photographs of the American West and Mexico, c. 1880.
- Auction:
- Lot:
- 160
- Sold for:
- $10,800$9,000
Jackson, William Henry (1843-1942) Thirty Photographs of the American West and Mexico, c. 1880.
Thirty mammoth format albumen photographs, each mounted on mat board, the subjects listed below, most with major foxing, fading, chipping, tears and damage to mats, and other damage, each approximately 21 x 16 3/4 in.
Jackson was born and raised on the East coast, and served in the Union Army as a private from Vermont during the Civil War. Returning home in the aftermath of the war, Jackson, originally trained as a painter, struggled to re-integrate into civilian life. He resolved to travel west, and took the Union Pacific railroad to the end of the line in 1866. Omaha, Nebraska was just a stop along the way, as his journey took him further along the Oregon Trail, heading west to the Great Salt Lake. Jackson brought his photography equipment as well, and his work quickly drew the attention of Ferdinand Hayden (1829-1887). He was invited to accompany the government geological surveys of 1870 and 1871. When Congress chose to designate Yellowstone National Park, Jackson's photographs played an important and persuasive role. Jackson was also employed by several railroad lines taking photographs in the 1890s. He eventually moved back east to Washington, D.C., where he painted several murals of the Old West for the Department of the Interior building. He died at the age of 99.

Have you got a tiny little workshop? Have your building projects been relegated to a closet-sized area in the home? Do you feel like you are trying to fit a massive holiday family dinner for the whole clan onto a quaint little table for two?
Follow my four tips to overcome the obstacle of space limitation and enjoy the time you have in your own little workshop.
Organize Your Space
This may seem basic or obvious but is also easy to overlook or simply not practice. Every item you have needs its own home. Keep your screws, nails, and glue together. If you have clamps, keep them all in one area that is within convenient reach. Your hammer, saw, drill and bits all should have their own place in the workspace. With as little room as you have to work with, it is essential that when you think to reach for something, you know exactly where it is. Rummaging through bins, boxes, and bags of assorted items severely decreases the time you have to work and makes for a frustrating experience.
Plan Ahead
If you are going to enlist the help of a video like those I have posted here, watch it a few times before you set out to build. Gather the necessary tools. Become familiar with what the process is going to require of you. Mentally walk through the game plan, seeing yourself perform the actions that you are watching in the tutorial. Trying to start a new project with little to no insight in a cramped space will derail your efforts and make the space seem even smaller.
Be Resourceful
Make the most of what you have. Don't worry about what you don't have or what someone says you need to have to build. Learning to be resourceful and practicing it with intent will make you an efficient builder. A power miter saw would be great. So would a table saw, a belt sander and a host of other tools. Tools take up space, add clutter, cost big money, and require maintenance and care.
Only the most basic of tools are required to make a sweet, 100% playable cigar box guitar
Being resourceful is also learning to use your space efficiently. Go to a site such as Pinterest.com for organizing ideas in tiny spaces. If you think Pinterest doesn't apply to you or has nothing to offer a woodworker or hobbiest, think again. The site is filled with a ridiculous amount of helpful ideas and links.
Clean up
Put everything back where it belongs when you are finished working for the day. Don't be building until the last available minute. Leave some time to clean up after yourself. Don't leave a mess that you will have to face the next time you can set aside to build. Starting a building session with a messy, cramped space is like setting your tiny dinner table with unwashed ware from the previous nights meal. It's entirely unappealing and kills the buzz to build.
Cramped spaces make for challenging workshops
Give yourself the opportunity to learn and to grow without creating obstacles for yourself. Limit the number obstacles you will face by being deliberate in managing your workspace.
Your success in building will be the direct result of your choices and actions. Choose to feast like a king upon the fruits of your labor. Choose to make the most of your cramped workspace and get building.
The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less. -Socrates
What one thing can you do today that will optimize your workspace?

SEGA have just released a listing for the soundtrack to the upcoming re-release of Jet Set Radio. While I've personally never played the original game myself, I've heard a LOT of debate about what songs people hope make it in.
Not to worry though, as SEGA have (almost) everyone covered, announcing that 99.9% of the WORLDWIDE soundtrack will be available in game! Check out their blog post to see the entire track list.

Drum Circle On-Deck Circle
In the hours leading up to a full-fledged drum circle there's often a warm up—a drum circle on-deck-circle—taking place on a beach-side grassy knoll near Ocean Front Walk and Breeze Ave. There you'll find an assortment of rhythm-crazy revelers, conga players and bongo beaters. Lots of folks who march to the beat of a different drum as you'd expect at a Venice Beach drum come together.Read on →

Making Objections
Any interested party may file an objection to the distribution of an inheritance. Inheritance objections are filed in the probate court where a decedent's estate is pending. Each state has individual deadlines for when inheritance disputes must be filed. Generally, objections must be filed within three months after heirs are notified the court has opened a probate case on the decedent's estate. When an objection to an inheritance is filed, the probate judge sets a hearing. The hearing offers aggrieved heirs the opportunity to produce facts and legal arguments to establish why an inheritance is improper.
Invalidating Wills
Inheritances can be challenged on a number of grounds. Generally, this is done through a probate proceeding commonly known as a "will contest." Heirs can request the court invalidate a will if they believe it is fraudulent, not witnessed or signed improperly. Wills also can be thrown out if the maker was under duress or not mentally competent when he signed it. Most states require the production of an original will; therefore, an heir can object if a photocopy is offered for probate.
Forgotten Heirs
Sometimes a spouse or child is inadvertently disinherited. State laws that address forgotten heirs are commonly referred to as pretermission statutes. For example, Harry has one child when he makes his will and leaves his entire estate to him. A year later, he has a daughter. He dies before updating his will to include her. She may argue she was accidentally overlooked.
Spousal Elective Shares
State laws protect spouses from being intentionally disinherited or treated unfairly in their spouses' wills. Generally, a surviving spouse can choose to receive what is called an "elective share" instead of accepting the terms of her spouse's will. State laws regarding the calculations for elective shares vary widely. A spouse should consider her own state law when deciding if an elective share claim makes economic sense.
No Contest Clauses
Some wills discourage inheritance disputes by incorporating "in terrorem" clauses. In terrorem clauses are also called "no contest" clauses. They potentially punish an heir for challenging an inheritance. If an heir dislikes the size or nature of his inheritance under a will, he may lose it all if he launches an unsuccessful will challenge. In terrorem clauses force an heir to choose between taking what is left to him in a will or risk losing it all.

Directed Fulfillment
As businesses grow and consumer expectations around fulfillment times decrease, it is not uncommon for merchants to expand from a single warehouse to multiple warehouses in which the same products are stored. With that expansion comes a new challenge in determining the best warehouse locations from which to ship, based on inventory availability, shipping costs, and time in transit.
Nexternal's Directed Fulfillment Module solves that problem and makes that determination as items are added to the cart. This allows you to quote accurate shipping rates to customers as orders are placed, and accurately deplete inventory at each warehouse location. It also simplifies the fulfillment process, because warehouse workers at every location know specifically which line items they need to fulfill when the orders flow into the Order Management System.
Minimize the Number of Ship-Froms for Each Ship-To Address
When possible, the software will assign all line items for a given ship-to-address, to the same ship-from warehouse location. When that is not possible, the number of ship-from-locations is minimized.
Minimize Shipping Rates and Time in Transit
Wherever possible, shipping rates and time in transit are minimized in selecting the best ship-from warehouses.
Distribute Line Items Across Locations
If no single warehouse has enough inventory to fulfill all the units of a line item for a ship-to-address, the units are separated into multiple line items that ship from multiple warehouses.
Override the Ship-From Selection
Make exceptions as required. After an order is placed, you can override the system-selected ship-from warehouse to manage things as required by unusual circumstances.
For merchants who ship from multiple warehouses, our Directed Fulfillment Module is a great tool for minimizing packages, decreasing fulfillment time, and reducing shipping costs. In order to activate Directed Fulfillment, you must first activate our Enhanced Inventory Module which allows you to track inventory at multiple warehouses. To learn more about our Directed Fulfillment Module or see a demo of it in action, please contact your Nexternal Account Manager if you are already a client, or give us a call at 800-914-6161.

My internet was blocked twice for apparently having a virus I was not aware of. The second time we called the tech support they told us to do the same procedure as the first using the anti virus provided over an email. I had done that hole procedure before and no infection was detected on any of my laptops. I was even suggested an anti virus by the second tech guy which I scanned my main laptop and still no infection. So IM very confused on what the problem may be. He told me of a virus that could get by the virus things but even after the one he had recommended to me which is a strong anti virus apparently... Still nothing... And my main laptop is brand new. Im still left confused because I do not know of any virus going on at all. And I can keep having my internet blocked as I'm a college student and really need the internet for my studies.

1) I hope this did not start with an incoming phone call claiming to be from Microsoft or Windows saying "your computer is sending virus"... DO NOT EVER follow instructions from someone on an unsolicited phone call. They will have you install software which allows them to take over your computer. They aren't who they say they are ...
I hope instead that your internet went down and *you* initiated the call in to Rogers who confirmed you had been shut off and why. Then it would be okay for Rogers to help you by remote.
2) You mentioned you were a student. Ensure that you have taken the appropriate precautions to ensure your computer when using publicly accessible networks such as at school, libraries, coffee shops. Unis are prime sources of abuse.You set yourself up as an admin user with password, delete the default admin and guest users, anti-virus kept up to date and firewall on, file& folder sharing, remote desktop, screen sharing, bluetooth, wifi sharing, etc all turned off when you are not actually using them. Turn off autorun for USB sticks, avoid sharing sticks, etc...
3) I recommend Major Geeks for help with stubborn infections.
Not going to make a new thread since this one exist.
I got a call last week to say i have a virus on my system. Please check your rogers email for more informations. I check and there was nothing about it and just for the heck of it I did a full scan with Nod32 and Malwarebyte on my computer and family.
Again got a call yesterday to say I have a virus and to check the email. Again NOTHING.
I check the phone number and sure enough it is from Rogers.
What the deal?
Those programs may not find what it is.. most of the ones that are effected this way are usually a ROOT KIT type virus 😞
What is usually happening, is SOMETHING within your network is spaming outbound.
I have had it happen to me ONCE. I only had one device on the network live at the times it was happening.. so i knew which PC it likely was. Got the call a number of days..
Only after i did a format/wipe on my PC, did it stop.
I understand that. Nod32 and Malwarebyte premiun do scan for rookit. Did not find anything. I even download McAfee RootkitRemover and did not find anything either.
And I wont start formatting all PC`s in my house because those tools not finding anything. Just plain crazy, sorry!
Well the problem is solved.
Call the customer service and explain my situation. Never got an email about the problem in which i was told to look into it for more details. Sure enough it was never sent.
Then the person that have help me told me it was an OpenDns. Turn out it was my cisco router did a firmware update and did not do a proper reboot. After i did the test and done a full reset on my router. Everything was ok.
Here the infos for anyone else having issues.

Rogers Called Me Saying One of my devices in my household is infected with a virus
Hey all,
just a few minutes ago, I got a phone call with the number 888- something. It notified me that I had a virus on one of my household devices, and told me that if I could not get rid of it within 48 hours, Rogers would shut down my internet. They told me to go to rogers.com/getprotected or check my email that I registered with Rogers and follow the instructions there. I checked my email but there was nothing there. I'm 99% sure that this is a fishing scam, but I just want to confirm just in case.

Hello, @Chromus
Welcome to the Rogers Community Forums!
If it was an automated call and you were asked to contact Rogers' technical support, I can confirm the call was from Rogers.
I will reach you out through our CommunityHelps message box. Please check our message via the envelope icon that appears on the top right-hand side of your screen when you are logged in to the forums.

The Human Unit
One cannot discuss hair health, stopping hair loss, and hair regrowth without talking about many other body systems, glands, hormones, digestion, nutrients, diets, habits, sleep, life styles, toxins, environmental factors, etc.. These are all directly or indirectly related to hair loss. This website will venture into all of these areas. Your body has many systems, many genes, and they all work together and on each other. Your existence as a human being, is also reliant on your body's systems. All these systems, all the genes, all the history you have experienced all come together to make the "one" unity that is you. There is not one thing you can do that will effect only one system or aspect if your existence.
Hair health often equates to body/mind health. There is a lot about health and diet that most of us do not learn, oftentimes we learn of this knowledge after a lot of hair loss has occurred. The knowledge exists, the solutions are out there, I wish I had started researching hair loss back in 2005 when my hair loss became clearly visible, back then I barely paid attention to my health and I thought the hair loss was "inevitable" due to my "genes", so I did not even consider diet or health as factors as having caused the hair loss at an early age. It is never too late to start doing the right thing.

Our guest this week on the Art of the Song Coffee Break is Taos singer/songwriter Max Gomez.
Though still only in his twenties, Max Gomez has always had the heart of an old soul. As a child, the first songs he learned to sing were originally recorded in the 50s by Johnny Cash. As a teenage guitarist he adopted Big Bill Broonzy as his blues master. And as a budding performer, he apprenticed in the rarefied musical climate of northern New Mexico, where troubadours like Michael Martin Murphey and Ray Wylie Hubbard helped foster a folk and Western sound both cosmic and cowboy. You'll find his hometown of Taos and nearby Red River right there between Colorado and Texas on both your sonic and Google maps. Splitting his childhood between there and a farm in the Flint Hills of Kansas, Gomez is at home in the heartland, too.
The youngest of five brothers, by several years—"That's why I got into 'old' music"—Gomez got a children's guitar for Christmas when he was 10. The family moved from Santa Fe to Taos in the '80s, and his father, Steve, became a furniture craftsman. "There's a similarity between my dad's work and mine," says Gomez. "He really studied what he did; there were always a lot of books on old furniture in his studio."
Gomez reports that growing up in Taos was "wild. It's still the Wild West compared to any city or suburb. You can get away with just about anything there, and we were turned loose as kids."
At 14, when Gomez performed at a benefit concert, he played "Sunday Mornin' Coming Down"—the down-and-out classic by future labelmate Kris Kristofferson. Soon thereafter he was playing at a late, lamented institution of a venue called the Old Blinking Light. "The school I went to was playing in that bar," he says. Country greats like Mentor Williams and Lynn Anderson frequented the place that led them to become fans of his music.
Gomez moved to Los Angeles at 18 to pursue his music career and began writing songs and performing around the city at many notable clubs. He wrote some songs with Shawn Mullins, who later recorded them. "That's when I began taking it all a little more seriously and turned my music into a job," says Gomez. n his early twenties he began recording his own songs with producers in New York, L.A., and Nashville. His debut album, Rule the World, was released in 2013 by New West Records, home to the likes of John Hiatt, Buddy Miller, and Steve Earle. Soon after, Kiefer Sutherland directed the music video for the single "Run From You."
Gomez grew up in a rich musical environment, but represents more than the sum of his influences—he's got that ineffable and instantly recognizable x-factor called talent. Melodies that flow naturally. Trenchant lyrics that express wise-beyond-his-years observations on the ways of the heart. Laconic phrasing in a cafe mocha timbre, and guitar skills that can stand alone. In short: the whole package.
The STANDING 'O' PROJECT is about fair trade music streaming--excellent musicians and exceptional fans taking over the music business. You're invited to find good, new, non-commercial music in a venue that lets musicians have an actual revenue stream. Come and connect with artists on a whole new level.

Fairies, Robots and Unicorns?--Oh My!
A Collection of Funny Short Stories Sarina Dorie
Print Length: 158 pages
Publication Date: April 29, 2016
Sold by: Amazon Digital Services LLC ASIN: B01F06DFDW
Reviewed by Dr. Wesley Britton
While I've read more than my fair share of sci-fi, I haven't read all that many short stories in the genre and even fewer intentionally humorous SF yarns. Some have stuck in my mind, such as one tale in which a female author had a group of "Wendys" rebelling from the adolescent chauvinism of Peter Pan and his Lost Boys expecting the Wendies to forever take care of all their domestic needs.
Excluding one anthology of Harry Harrison stories, Fairies, Robots and Unicorns was the first collection of light-hearted offerings I ever sat down to read. I'm glad I did. I don't plan on it being the last collection of such fare I spend time with. In particular, Sarina Dorie is often wickedly clever, laugh out loud funny, and extremely original, one of my favorite characteristics from an author in any genre.
For example, "Five Tips for Slaying a Unicorn" is a bit of humorous advice told in a list, a literary device the author wanted to experiment with. "Speed Dating Books" is about a trip to a bookstore where books try their seductive best to get buyers to take them home. "Debbie Does Delta Draconis III" plays with thinly-disguised characters from Star Trek, or at least alien surrogates for them, who invade a lawyer's dreams.
Some stories aren't so much comical as offbeat or simply quirky." Eels for Heels" is a weird modern fairy tale where a woman is cursed by a sea witch who gives her eels magically attached to her heels until she finds her true love. Not every tale tries to be comic. In one of my favorites, "The Quantum Mechanic," a more straight-forward sci-fi story features some hiccups in the space-time continuum with happy results, at least for one soon to be involved romantic couple. Likewise, "Cinderella's Holo-Wand" is a cautionary tale about wanting to use technology to transform from an undesirable body into hopeful physical perfection.
In such a collection, few readers are likely to like everything. I wasn't too fond of "Red as a Pickle" which has aliens draining away all the colors on earth until they are outwitted by a housecat. "The Office Messiah" is a rather underdeveloped play on the philosophy of Jesus as juxtaposed against workplace realities. "Blackboard Galaxy" is a simply odd tale of a human teacher trying to deal with alien children who expect to be eaten when they are bad. Eaten but restored to health unlike digested human food.
Some yarns are obvious parodies as with "The Optimist Police" where negative thoughts are criminalized. I'm certain every reader who's ever tried to work with tech support from any company you can think of will emphasize with a starship captain under attack from aliens unable to get help until he extends his warranty in "Interstellar Tech Support." Speaking of parodies, "Lady Chatterly's Computer" is a very clever take-off of the D.H. Lawrence novel.
Some titles, like "Confessions of the Orgasm Fairy" and "Robo-rotica," might suggest the collection isn't intended for YA readers. But the content really isn't anything too heavy for most teenagers. "Robo-rotica" is the most explicit of the fantasies, describing hot sex between two machines. If that titillates you, then be concerned. Be very concerned.
Among the many characteristics we learn about Sarina Dorie is that she has a background of classroom teaching, that she has an Italian mother, she likes food, and, of course, enjoys sex. At least invoking it in her writing. This collection is but a thin slice of her 100 or so short stories which you can learn more about at—
Fairies, Robots and Unicorns is entertaining, light reading with its occasional social commentary delivered with more than a spoonful of sugar, sometimes just silly, often simply twisted, sometimes wickedly funny. It's the sort of collection you can read in short sessions as some of the tales are extremely short indeed.

From bone broth to coconut oil, it's been another big year for superfoods. Here are my predictions for the major health food trends in 2017.
We all know that eating less meat is good for the planet and good for our health, and it seems more and more people are consciously making an effort to cut down on meat consumption – an emerging eating pattern known as flexitarianism, where eating predominantly, but not strictly, plant-based foods.
This approach is far less rigid than typical vegan, Paleo, gluten-free and other diets that have gone mainstream, making it perfect for those who want the best of both worlds when it comes to eating. Most importantly, it is a lifestyle, not a diet, that's individualised. Meatless Monday anyone?
Move over probiotics, prebiotics are taking centre stage. While probiotics (good bacteria found in yoghurt, sauerkraut, bone broth, kombucha and tempeh) have been plugged to reduce belly bloat, improve digestion and boost immunity, prebiotics are specialised plant fibre that are needed first to provide the right environment for the good gut bacteria to thrive and use for food. Chicory root (inulin), asparagus, carrots, Jerusalem artichoke and sourdough bread are common examples of whole food that contain prebiotics fibres.
This super spice is certainly having a moment with headlines touting the myriad health benefits thanks to curcumin – a potent antioxidant that gives turmeric its golden hue and known for anti-inflammatory benefits used to treat conditions like arthritis, asthma, eczema and inflammatory bowel disease, as well as playing a role within cancer prevention and protecting against heart disease. But there's more to turmeric than spicing up a curry. Expect to see more fancy teas and lattes, which is cold-pressed turmeric juice added to almond, cashew or coconut milk.
The nutrition in white pasta is pretty lacking, and there are many people who shy away from a traditional spag bol because it contains gluten – hence why alternative grain noodles are quickly becoming favourites. Expect to see pastas made with different ingredients like quinoa, lentils, or chickpeas. Grain free options (which also happen to be gluten free), like spiralized veggies (e.g zucchini pasta) are still popular. So when it comes to pasta, there's now something for everyone.
While green foods should always be on the daily menu, you'll also perk up your plate with purple foods. Think purple cauliflower, purple asparagus, purple sweet potatoes and purple carrots. These foods are all amazingly rich in anthocyanins – a type of antioxidant that gives these foods their vibrant purple colour and pack a powerful disease-preventing punch. These Anthocyanins are also particularly abundant in raspberries and blackberries and have been researched for their potential anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing action.

At the end of the day, I lay in bed wondering how it all went to pot so quickly. Where did my patience go? Why did the kids do that? Why hadn't I reacted the way I normally do or the way I want to? What is that sticky stuff in my hair? Did I do the dishes?
We're all human. We all have bad days including our kids. Drake has periods of time (weeks to months) where he becomes especially stubborn and emotional, and these times have a negative impact on us all. I'm sure Devin will have them too as he gets older.
During these times, I struggle to be patient, calm, and happy in my life as a mother, and these times are when Drake needs me to be patient and calm. It isn't that I don't love being a mom because I do, but some days, weeks, months wear you down to the bone. The endless screaming and crying and mess making and no sleep and what the hell happened to my body? It isn't the kids fault or my fault. The culprit is mom burnout pure and simple.
A nice hot bath and some good old-fashioned rest go a long way towards helping keep me out of this mood. They are necessary to my emotional upkeep, but when I hit the burn outs hard, it takes more than rest to bring me back to myself.
How I Get Through It:
Above all, give yourself time. It takes more than a day. It takes more than a week sometimes. Be gentle with yourself, and soon you will be the mom you remember.

how we like to do things
our passion is sustainable living. and this is what we're hoping to achieve one smartly designed accessory at a time.
we make leather goods with focus on clever details and inventive constructions, while producing as little waste as possible during the process. we take great pride in finishing all ends of the seams by hand which adds durability for years to come.
all items are made in our studio, treasuring our employees by providing them flexible working conditions and fair pay. producing everything transparently in-house and passing on the skills of leathercraft has been our core value since the beginning.
fundamental part of sustainability is conscious consumption. so, "buy nothing", "consume less", and "time is our currency" embossed inside some of our wallets are there to make you stop and think, bringing the core of sustainability into our everyday lives. because buying fewer, but durable, quality products is an investment on a much bigger scale.
we use high quality italian vegetable tanned leather that matures while ageing, developing a unique patina over time and with proper care remains resistant even after decades of usage. for guidance visit mokokolabs.com/care.
the metal components, threads and adhesive we use on some of our products come mainly from italy, linen textile used for lining is made in belarus.
vegetable tanning is an artisan tradition passed down and perfected through centuries. the process contains neither artificial nor toxic substances.
all leathers we use are certified by the genuine italian vegetable-tanned consortium that brings together 22 tanneries operating in tuscany. the certificate guarantees highest quality and transparent production process.
the head and heart behind mokoko is accessories designer mari maripuu. she is assisted by ville, kaisa and heli in crafting all mokoko's products.
mari has graduated from estonian academy of arts in leather art, bookbinding and accessories design ba in 2013 and has continued her studies in product design ma with academic interest in systemic design.
she has furthered her education in sustainable fashion summer school in copenhagen in 2011 and in 2011-2012 as an erasmus student in hamk university of applied sciences in footwear design in finland.

Saudi Arabia Wins U.S. In Oil Production
Saudi Arabia has overtaken the U.S. becoming the world's biggest oil producer for the primary time due to the fact 2014, according to the Oil Market file by means of the international power agency (IEA).
Saudi Arabia has added around 400,000 barrels per day of low-budget construction when you consider that may additionally of this 12 months. on the identical time the U.S. – which had been the realm's exact producer of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons for the reason that April 2014 – has shut down some 460,000 bpd of excessive-charge output considering that can also 2016, Bloomberg quoted the report as asserting.
In accordance with the IEA, international boom in crude oil demand will decelerate faster than previously anticipated. The agency now sees growth at 1.3 million bpd for 2016, which represents a downward revision by 100,000 bpd from its outdated estimate. The revision turned into brought on by using a quicker-than-expected waning trendy boom over the third quarter of the year.
Last month, OPEC crude production reached list degrees of 33.47 million bpd, thanks to core eastern producers, the IEA spoke of. Kuwait and the UAE both reached the maximum output tiers on list, Saudi Arabia become close to listing-highs, and Iran continued to raise creation, achieving the highest degree for the reason that the sanctions have been imposed.
At the equal time, however, the IEA referred to that global construction increase is slowing down, with the U.S. by myself accounting for half of this slowdown as impartial E&Ps have cut investments in new output in an automatically palpable manner. The company said non-OPEC provide is anticipated to come to growth in 2017.
OPEC itself additionally expects non-OPEC supply to increase subsequent 12 months and on Monday it revised up its forecast for non-OPEC oil give through 350,000 bpd and now expects producers backyard the cartel to give 56.52 million bpd to the market in 2017, in a signal that the international glut will persist.
The projected non-OPEC give subsequent yr would be an increase with the aid of 200,000 bpd over this year, OPEC referred to in its month-to-month Oil Market report, the ultimate one earlier than its individuals and non-cartel companions meet to talk about a potential output freeze in Algiers later this month.

Then, it suddenly dawns, Money! Take your time, start with the basics, what type of wedding have you dreamt off? How many people have you envisioned will be at your wedding? Will you be happy with a gathering of 10, 20, 30 people at a garden villa in Spain or will you consider taking it easy and enjoying the day with a few family members and friends. If you are going to be saving from the moment of your engagement or maybe it's a tight budget. Having a Sunday Brunch at the beach, Friday or Saturday night simply desserts reception or an immaculate destination wedding?
Wait a minute! You want a grand Vera Wang wedding gown or Yacht wedding/honeymoon with 150 to 200 guests in attendance. Before you go on a whirlwind adventure planning a once in a lifetime route to bankruptcy. Please Breathe! Yes, Breathe....
Let's begin again, figure out who can help financially with your wedding plans. Have a talk with family members about who is paying for what and what they can offer, it may not be in cash but who knows, a family member may know someone who works at a car rental and can get a discount. Maybe your favourite aunt can bake your wonderful wedding cake as a gift. Friends can contribute to your flowers or music on the day, open your options.
If it is just you and your soon to be wife/husband taking care of expenses, then it makes sense to still have that talk and work what aspect of the wedding you are most likely to spend a higher than average amount on. For instance, some people send more than average on the Photographer, because they want quality photos and they feel it will last a lifetime. For some it will be on their honeymoon.
Now how much do you have in the kitty? Do you need to plan for a longer period of time to save enough? Are you willing to consider taking out a loan? Will go to the bank or will look of other alternatives? If you can't get a loan, will you reduce the amount you need for the wedding? Are you saving on costs or splurging? What areas will you consider saving on and what areas will you splurge on? Where are you willing to accommodate your soon to be husband/wife's wants? Too many questions? Depending on how many people are sitting with you to discuss finances, every member of the "Board Group" will be voicing an opinion on how their money will be spent.
You may want the wedding venue, others may want all the family members they have not seen in decades to attend. The average wedding these days can go between 15,000 to 25,000 Euros depending on the individuals. Some weddings have been organized for much less and have turned out to be simply divine. Some have had the makings of a huge budget and significant high stress levels but the fact still remains that 2 people have found love. It may or may not be witnessed by family and friends but vows will be exchanged and celebrated.
It is always advisable to budget on how to manage your wedding costs, it's very important that you pick the essential things which neither of you want to compromise on so that you can identify other areas where you're willing to save money. It can be on any of the expenses areas of the wedding budget, like how many people will be attending, venue, flowers, accessories etc. You will need to assign budget percentages using a scale of priorities, so budget wisely. Wherever you can create, like with the cake or invitations, do so or simply ask for help from friends and family. Meanwhile enjoy the ride and reduce as much costs where feasible, but most importantly enjoy the romantic spells associated with it.
