Krill are shrimp-like crustaceans eaten by blue whales & are a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids. Krill is the largest Biomass in the world, with most found in Antarctica, weighing more than any other population of animals and humans on earth. Krill harvesting is one of the most sustainable practices on the planet & it is strictly regulated. According to Neptune Krill Oil Company (NKO), krill harvested for human consumption does not pose an environmental threat or depletion of the natural food chain, so reports of its numbers decreasing may be false. With fish oil, over-fishing IS an issue with fishing quotas 15-30% higher than those recommended as safe by scientists. Krill harvesting seems to not pose this threat.
The main producer of Krill products is NKO (Neptune Krill Oil). Many of the products on the shelves will say 'NKO' signifying the trademarked product. In comparing Krill to fish oil, there are many differences, such as:
The antioxidant power found in krill prevents it from going rancid and has anti-aging properties, specifically astaxanthin, which is found in the algae that krill feed on. Astaxanthin is a unique marine-source Flavonoid can be metabolized entirely by our bodies yielding the maximum benefit. It does this by creating a special bond with the EPA/DHA which allows direct metabolism of antioxidants making them more bioavailable. Astaxanthin prevents the oxidation of LDL and the body therefore calls for less cholesterol. It also is showing "promising" results in children with ADD and dyslexia. It also provides protection against ultraviolet light and UV induced skin damage
Krill may alleviate problems associated with PMS due to Omega 3's natural anti-inflammatory properties.
While the Krill 'industry' has some beneficial research, more research is needed before determining the role of krill in disease and health related conditions and its advantages over fish oil. Until more studies are conducted "it would be premature to claim that krill oil is better than fish oil or vice versa".
Similar to fish oil, krill has been shown to be beneficial for a range of health issues including Cognitive, memory, and learning support, Blood sugar health, Joint support, Anti-aging, Protection of cell membranes, Cholesterol and other blood lipid health, Healthy liver function, Normal PMS symptom relief, Immune boosting, Mood support & Skin health. In one 2007 study, assessing Krill's effectiveness for inflammation & the treatment of arthritic symptoms, after 7 days of treatment, 300 mg of krill reduced inflammation by 19% and 30% after 14 days.
Total Health stocks 'NKO Krill Oil' from Jarrow Formulas; with 60 gels @ 400 mg for $33.95 (30 gels are $17.95). Each gel consists of 400 mg Phospholipid Complex ('PhosphOmega') yielding 75 mg EPA & 45 mg DHA. Suggested dosing is 2 gels with am meal for 30 days & then 1 gel with am meal as maintenance. Most all Krill Oil products are sourced from NKO (Neptune Krill Oil Company), so direct cost comparisons can be easily made.

Femi Adesina, President Muhammadu Buhari's Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity has explained why the Presidency never responds to the many allegations of Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose.
Adesina in a radio interview, this is because they see all he does as comic relief.
''For us as a policy, we don't respond to Governor Fayose and you would hardly hear us speak about him because we see what he does as comic relief. So we leave it at that.'

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
PC, XBox 360, Playstation 3
Reviewed on: PC
Developer: Big Huge Games
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Rated: "M" for Mature
CHEATfactor Game Review
by Joe Sinicki
The world of Amalur is a large one, and there's plenty to do throughout its sprawling fields, mountains and dungeons -- but the whole thing feels remarkably bland and run of the mill more often than not.
You can't blame EA and Big Huge Games for lack of ambition, there's a ton to do in Reckoning, but the catch is that it all seems so generic. These are the same fetch and kill quests that you've done a million times before. At least the combat system is stellar.
Much like Skyrim before it, Reckoning is packed with content. From quests to collectibles to a few carefully hidden secrets, but you'll often feel like there's not much thought put into a good portion of them.
I've got a bit of a confession -- I don't worship at the altar of Skyrim. Now, don't get me wrong, I appreciate the amount of work that went into it, and sheer craftsmanship that it must have taken to make the kingdom of Skyrim so realistic -- I just find myself getting bored very quickly. Maybe it's the combat, maybe it's just my taste in games.
It's interesting then that with Kingdoms of Amalur: The Reckoning, it's the exact opposite. Thanks to an impressive combat system that would be at home in any pure action game, I searched out combat and found myself caring about the progression of my character, but I couldn't bring myself to care about the world around me. Is it big? Sure. Interesting? Not at all.
Kingdoms of Amalur starts off with an impressive enough premise -- you're dead. Well, you were dead, before a device called The Well of Souls resurrected you into a nameless, fateless being. The key here is that since you have no fate, you're pretty much free to do whatever you want -- be a hero, be a jerk, fight for justice, rob people..it's all up to you. In essence, you're rewriting the destiny of Amalur with your choices.
"... more often than not it's your typical RPG fodder."
At least you should be. Reckoning puts a lot of stock in the idea of just how important your choices really are, but more often than not that's all it is -- an idea. Playing through a number of Amalur's quests, I did see a bit of change depending on what I did, but it never seemed like the game changing, back of the box bullet point that the game made it out to be. To put it into perspective, with Skyrim, I always felt like I was a driving force in the outcome of the game's events, but in Amalur, I merely felt like I was an active participant.
That's not to say that EA and Big Huge Games didn't try. There's an impressive amount of dialogue and NPCs to be found in Amalur, and from time to time, it's well written and interesting, but like a good majority of the game, more often than not it's your typical RPG fodder. People in this kingdom love to talk, and I often found myself trying to get through their monologue's as fast as possible.
Like most RPGs, the citizens of Amalur will often give you quests in exchange for goods, and from time to time you'll get a truly epic one, but more often than not they're incredibly underwhelming. Find this, kill that, rid this place of that heinous evil thing -- it's all stuff you've done in your other RPGS, and it's a bit disappointing that Reckoning doesn't really try all that hard.
Reckoning does have a saving grace though -- and boy does it save it. The combat engine of Amalur is fun, engaging and does a great deal to advance even some of the game's worst moments. Much like the combat systems found in more traditional action games, you'll find the action in Reckoning to be incredibly visceral and fast paced. You'll perform combos and incredibly entertaining finishing maneuver's (I still can't get enough of ramming my sword down a belligerent enemy's throat). It's incredibly rewarding to find a weapon, become proficient with it and begin to upgrade it to learn new skills and techniques with it.
"...wanted to see myself excel in different specializations."
It's the combat itself that expands the game's other mechanics to become remarkably enjoyable. Looting becomes not only important, but satisfying when you're standing over an enemy that you proudly eviscerated. For the first time in a long time, I actually cared about how my character was leveling up in an RPG, and wanted to see myself excel in different specializations. By the end of Reckoning, I was a broad sword carrying bad ass, and I was proud of it.
Visually, Reckoning is anything but what you'd expect. If you had to compare it with another title, it would be the Fable series, since the two share a very distinct cartoon style, which is interesting because the rest of the game attempts to be mostly serious. My major problem with the game's visuals though is just how terrible the game's lip synching is -- it's as if the developers didn't even try.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning never seems to fully establish an identity to call its own -- it just borrows from some of gaming's top franchise's and fine tunes the mechanics to its own liking. Saved by the remarkable combat engine, you'll still have a great time with Reckoning. More than anything, it feels like a great start to a new franchise, and we can't wait for the more cleaned up inevitable sequel.
CHEATS USED: Unlimited Health, Mana, No Cooldowns
One of the best parts of Reckoning is the ability to create and customize your blank slate character to your liking, and the trainer from Cheat Happens gives you many more choices to do this -- so many that you'll be free to create just about anything you want.
Just about anything you could want is in the trainer. Unlimited health, unlimited mana, unlimited reckonings, no cooldowns. I often felt like I no longer needed to focus on leveling up when using a number of the features in the trainer.
The one thing I found myself not doing was using the easy kills cheat, since it took away from the game's killer combat mechanics.
Sure, if you call button mashing and a slight hint of timing for an impressive combat system.
While I don't agree with his opinion on the "impressive" combat system, I do agree that Amalur is a fairly decent game, though for me it was the story and the lore that drew me in, the Fae and their mannerisms just captivated me, and drew me through the quest line, trying to learn more about them and their world.
But just as the OP mentioned, the various quests are fairly generic, and the enemies quickly become the same with different colour schemes, so it's just a matter of getting through them as fast as possible, so you can get to the interesting bits.
Even Skyrim had the same feel as the console versions, so sirchet are you going to say Skyrim was also designed for consoles first?
I have to agree with you on many of your statements, except that I am a fond follower of Skyrim.
I use this game as a break from serious RPG'ing, you know ... when I just want to run around and kill stuff.
What you did leave out is IMO a distinct feeling that this game was actually made for a console and then later brought over to the PC in order to gain a larger marketing base.

Visiting a Prison
Visiting a Prison
The Irish Prison Service is committed to making visiting a prison as easy as possible for visitors. The Prison Service understands the importance of helping prison maintain and develop relationships with family and friends and is committed to enhancing where possible, and subject to appropriate security considerations, the visiting facilities and regimes for prisoners.
Booked Visits System
The Irish Prison Service operates a booked visits system. Any person entering a prison to visit you must make an appointment in advance providing specific personal details in order to gain admittance to the prison. These include the visitor name, address, date of birth, prisoner being visited, relationship of prisoner to visitor and date of visit. Photographic identification will be required from the visitor on arrival and will be used to confirm the date of birth given when booking their visit. All details are recorded on the electronic system. This procedure also applies for professional visitors.
How many visitors are allowed? – Up to 3 adults are permitted to visit. There is no limit on the number of children permitted however, consideration must be given to safety and security regarding numbers.
Are children allowed to visit? – We are committed to prisoners maintaining the relationship they have with their children. Children are allowed to visit but some constraints may be necessary with regard to numbers due to constraints of space and seating arrangements. The Irish Prison Service encourages a flexible approach to ensure that all children who wish to visit their parent in prison can do so.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Barring of Visitors – The Governor is entitlement under Rule 36 (9) to may refuse to permit a visit to a prisoner by a person or persons if he or she believes it to be necessary in order to –
(a) prevent the entry into the prison of controlled drugs or other prohibited articles or substances,
(b) prevent a conspiracy to commit a criminal offence, or (c) otherwise maintain good order and safe and secure custody,
Operation of Drug Dogs – . Visitors (including children) should be aware that they may be subject to screening by the Drug Dog. Visitors should obey the instructions of the security screening staff when being screened.
Screened Visits -Some of our prisons (such as Cloverhill and St. Patrick's) have only "screened visits facilities" which means that there will be a glass window between you and your visitor. Others prisons can provide "open visits".
There is no automatic right to an open visit and the Governor may insist on screened visits on occasions for security reasons. Reasons why screened visits may be applied include previous attempts to retrieve contraband, evidence of drug misuse, previous attempts by the visitor to pass contraband and / or positive indications on the visitor by the drug dogs. These triggers could reasonably lead the Governor to believe there would be a risk in relation to contraband if an open visit was to take place.

Main cast: Denzel Washington (Robert McCall), Marton Csokas (Teddy), Chloë Grace Moretz (Teri), David Harbour (Masters), Johnny Skourtis (Ralphie), Melissa Leo (Susan Plummer), and Bill Pullman (Brian Plummer)
Director: Antoine Fuqua
The Equalizer is supposedly based on the TV series of the same name from the 1980s, but I don't remember that TV series being as cheerfully violent as this movie. This movie is a loose adaptation, the most obvious deviation being that our hero Robert McCall this time around is American instead of British. Maybe passing off a character played by Denzel Washington as a Brit is too much of a hard sell?
Robert McCall, in this movie, starts out as a man in his forties or so, with even a slight paunch, working at the friendly neighborhood IKEA-like store. He gives piercing death glares at people, has patronizing conversations with overweight colleagues aspiring to get in shape and beaten-up prostitutes, because it's a cosmic rule that every character played by Denzel Washington has to have some kind of humorless savior complex. Robert strikes up a seemingly casual "I'm so profound… you, a mere mortal, slinks up to me and tentatively asks for wisdom from me" conversations with Teri, the local prostitute who waits for her pimp or her assigned customer at the same eatery as Robert goes to for his dinner-cum-reading sessions. When she shows up in the ICU, he decides to pay her pimp a visit and buy her freedom from the man. The man sneers at him and makes rude jokes about his age, so Robert decides to press the automatic win button on his watch (sponsored by a famous brand who didn't pay me to name drop it, which is why I'm not naming the brand here), and murders everyone in the room. Fatality!
If the creepy stares and "I'm Steven Seagal after a miracle bariatric surgery" complex hadn't been giveaway clues before, I now learn that Robert is a former secret agent who has since decided to blend in and stop his walking Mortal Kombat show after promising his late wife to behave and what not. Unfortunately, the pimp had been one of the key players in the local mob scene, controlled by some dude from Russia. The killings are considered by the cops and the media as the result of a gang war, so the Russian dude sends his top assassin, Teddy, over to liaise with the neighborhood corrupt cop Masters and get to the bottom of the matter by any means necessary. Teddy quickly hones in on Robert, and a cat and mouse game between two apparent masters of murderous mayhem is on. It's hard to tell who the predator and who the prey is, though, because those two men mean serious business.
The Equalizer is so over the top violent and even gory that I can't help but to be charmed. While Mr Washington playing the same stoic asexual guru character can get pretty old by this time, there is an intriguing contrasting of how unlike a superhero his character looks to the "MacGyver on a murderous rampage" things that he does in this movie. This contrast creates a gimmicky hook that keeps me watching, because the whole thing is fascinating. Robert is pretty cold in this moment. He may side with the good guys and work to help the downtrodden, but he has no compunctions being the executioner as well as the judge and jury to all his targets, and he doesn't mind sitting beside his target as the villain lays dying, to watch that villain die as he tells the villain that the scumbag should have played nice with him.
The novelty value eventually wears off, as it becomes apparent that, despite his cool posturing, Teddy isn't anywhere near Robert's level. Robert is too capable, too cunning, and the sole moment of weakness in this movie feels contrived as a means to show off how the fatty he helped to become a better person has developed an adoring kind of loyalty to him. I can only watch a guy with a small paunch whack people off for so long before I feel bored and wish for a compelling story line to go along with the bloody carnage. The showdown with Teddy is especially disappointing, as the poor guy gets taken down without even a token ten-minute bloody brawl with Robert.
Take away the novelty of Denzel Washington killing people in The Equalizer, and there's not much left to enjoy here.

Car sales are expected to grow in 2014 and top 16 million for the first time since 2007, according to the 2014 new car sales forecast from car-shopping site Edmunds.com. The estimate is 16.4 million light vehicles sold next year, a 6% increase from the anticipated sales of 15.5 million for 2013 and the most since 16.5 million were sold in 2006.
The average age of cars on American roads has continued to rise, from 11 years in 2012 to 11.4 in 2013. That statistic has climbed over the last decade — in part due to advances in car manufacturing — but consumers who put off car shopping after the recession may not be able to wait much longer.
Lacey Plache, chief economist for Edmunds.com and author of the forecast, explained it this way: The average car travels 15,000 miles in a year, and if the average age is 11.4 years, the average car will have racked up roughly 170,000 miles in its lifetime.
"We're already getting past a pretty substantial mileage. Cars are going to start breaking down," Plache said. "Cars are getting older and older, and that's going to force people back to the market and get new cars."
Adding to the aging fleet, about 300,000 consumers will return to the market when their car leases expire in 2014, according to Plache's forecast.
A Closer Look at Long-Term Growth
Despite the high sales volume, the year-over-year sales growth rate has slowed since 2012, when sales improved 13% over 2011. The anticipated growth rate for 2013 is 7%, and as previously mentioned, the 2014 growth rate is forecast at 6%.
Current events will likely not impact the forecast. Though auto sales were down in September, much of the loss can be contributed to the calendar: Labor Day weekend, which brings in a lot of money for auto dealers, partially fell in August, and there were only 23 sales days in September. (That's low, according to Plache.)
The government shutdown and debt-ceiling debate are unlikely to depress sales, at least in the long term.
"If anything, we might see a few sales shifted from this year to next, if indeed the situation drags on," Plache said, adding that October sales are most at risk, as furloughed workers or hesitant consumers may put off car shopping. "The worst-case scenario out there is that the government defaults and we'll go into a deep recession — I think that's a really unlikely scenario."
Political turmoil aside, interest rates on auto loans have been at historic lows and credit has been increasingly available for consumers with less-than-sterling credit. A low credit score can translate into higher interest rates and an overall more costly auto loan, which is why consumers are advised to know their credit situation before car shopping so they better understand what they can afford. Checking their credit score (which can be done using tools that are free — Credit.com offers one) can help them decide whether to work on rebuilding their credit before they buy.
"There's no reason to believe the current economic climate is going to suddenly cause a longer term slowdown to auto sales," Plache said. "Credit is still widely available, interest rates are still low, and aside from the furloughed employees, the job situation hasn't dramatically deteriorated. … We're in a bit of a short-term crisis."

1% Raised of$100,000
Dec 31, 2015
We work with women in developing nations where education and opportunity are scarce. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds, the common denominator being poverty and the web of issues that stem from it. Our goal is to stay future-focused, to help our students look forward and define themselves not by their challenging pasts, but by their immense potential and bright futures. Training women in the art and science of cosmetology is effective both economically and in the process of restoration and healing. Learning a new set of skills and becoming financially independent is empowering and builds self esteem, and by starting their own businesses, our students are contributing to their community in an important way they have yet to experience. A career in hairstyling is special because it provides a stable source of income through helping others feel beautiful, which is beneficial to the hairstylist's own emotional healing. Prostitution and garment labor, among other disadvantaged forms of work, aren't much of a choice at all.. More accurately, these paths are a result of women baring that responsibility to care for families without having any fair or suitable choices available. Our program is for young women who face these kinds of unimaginable dilemmas, whether it be leaving prostitution or an abusive relationship, or rising above poverty. We support them on their educational journey by providing the tools and guidance necessary to excel.

text: A question for you all. I spent the last weekend participating in a Dangerous Game training course here in the UK. I had a lot of fun, learn a load of useful stuff and got the chance to have a play with many interesting large calibre rifles in 'hunting' situations (closer ranges, reloading drills, lots of positional shooting, time pressure, moving targets etc). This last item, as it turns out was a big mistake financially and brings us onto the topic of ths post. I went along with my .270, just to learn the skills, meet some people, have some fun and get to know my rifle a bit better. Unsurprisingly though, that set up isn't really suitable for the type of stuff I was doing due to the single stack mag, relatively high power scope and teeny tiny little cartridge. I intend to do a bit more of this type of shooting along with some driven boar over the coming 5 years or so as a substitute for actual Safaris, which are slightly out of reach at the moment financially, and I'm toying with the idea of investing in a proper rifle for the job. That being the case, what do the AH massive recommend? I'm thinking .375H&H or possibly 416Rigby, double stack magazine for easy top loading, factory iron sights and with the facility to mount a small scope (1-6x maybe). Controlled round feed is a 'nice to have' but not a requirement as are express style sights. I think my preference is probably more 375 due to it being easier to get conditioned for Boar at home, but I did very much enjoy my little fling with a .416 on Sunday, and it does seem more 'proper' in some respects. Other rounds would be considered as long as they're classic and british, but bear in mind that with the firearms licensing in the UK, I'd be pushing my luck going as big as the Rigby as it is. My budget is tight, so I'd probably be thinking second hand, but I could stretch to maybe £2,500 for the right rifle (excluding scope). I think a Sako 85 might be an option, as might a CZ or a Winchester Mod 70, but are there any other contenders I should consider? No interest whatsoever in straight pulls however suitable they may be for the application and I don't think a double is on the cards at this price point. I'm in no rush on this, I need to finalise the decision re. calibre and I expect the variation will take a couple months to come back from the fuzz anyway, even if they aren't difficult about the whole thing, but I'd welcome your thoughts. Cheers! Al.

Michael Tilson Thomas & the San Francisco Symphony to Premiere Keeping Score: Mahler on PBS Summer 2011
Orchestra's acclaimed Keeping Score Project Also Features New Interactive Companion Web Site, National Public Radio Series, Home Video on DVD and Blu-Ray
The San Francisco Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas will present new episodes of their acclaimed Keeping Score television series on PBS in Summer 2011 (check local listings), exploring the life and music of Gustav Mahler. In a year marking the centenary of both the death of Gustav Mahler and the birth of the San Francisco Symphony, the Orchestra's Keeping Score project focuses on the enigmatic composer with two one-hour documentary-style episodes, two live-performance programs, new Mahler-related content at http://www.keepingscore.org and a 13-part national radio series. The Keeping Score project is a natural outgrowth of the San Francisco Symphony's almost century-long commitment to make classical music more accessible and meaningful to people of all ages and musical backgrounds. National broadcast dates on PBS will be announced later this spring.

A common question about wills is whether they will be recognized in other countries. This is difficult to answer because each country has its own unique legal system. However, some countries are more closely related than others in terms of their legal systems.
In Alberta, and throughout the rest of Canada with the exception of Quebec, the legal system is based on the English Common Law system. Countries that use some type of Common Law system are the UK, the US, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Kenya, South Africa (to some extent), India, Myanmar, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Pakistan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Bahamas, Belize, Dominica, Jamaica, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. (Please note that there may be some countries missing from this list.)
Just because a country uses a system of common law does not mean that its laws and legal system are sufficiently close to those of Alberta. A will drafted in Alberta may or may not be considered valid in one of those countries. That being said, a will drafted in Alberta stands a better chance of being valid in a common law country than in a non-common law country. To be on the safe side, it's always a good idea to check with a lawyer in the other country if you plan on moving there or if you have significant property in that country.

Five Foods To Help Heal Your Gut
By Elle Eastwood – Naturopath & Nutritionist BHSc
In my last post, I addressed '5 things you need to know about your gut' so this week we are talking about what foods you can eat that have healing effects on the gut. You probably already have a few in your kitchen!
Bone Broth
There is good reason bone broth is touted as one of the most healing and sealing foods for your gut and is the basis for many gut healing diets – because it's true! Bone broth is an incredibly nutrient dense food. When the bones are simmered, minerals (such as magnesium, calcium and phosphorus) are released in easily absorbable forms, alongside important amino acids such as glycine, proline and glutamine. Bone broth is also a rich source of collagen and gelatin. Gelatin is particularly healing on the gastrointestinal lining by helping maintain the integrity of our gastric mucosa, thereby reducing intestinal permeability (i.e leaky gut) and having a 'sealing' effect on the gut.
Probiotic rich yogurt
It is a myth that probiotic supplements are always superior to food sources of probiotics such as yoghurt. In fact, yoghurt can provide a very effective medium for ensuring viable numbers of bacteria reach the small and large intestine intact. Vaalia yoghurt and Activia are both Australian made proven probiotic yoghurts. Vaalia contains 3 probiotic strains including Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG strain. L. rhamnosus GG is a well studied probiotic strain, particularly for its use in reducing antibiotic-related diarrhoea and gut and skin conditions. Many clinical trials have demonstrated the therapeutic effects of using medicinal yoghurts. Best of all, both yoghurts can be purchased at most Australian supermarkets.
Anti-inflammatory Spices
Spices such as cinnamon, ginger and turmeric have beautiful anti-inflammatory effects on the body as a whole system, but are also very soothing on the gastrointestinal tract. I recommend liberal uses of these spices in cooking for all my clients, as they are so easy to regularly incorporate into meals. Cinnamon is a carminative and spasmolytic herb, meaning it's very effective at reducing flatulence and easing symptoms such as nausea and indigestion.
Ginger is well known for it's anti-nausea effects but also stimulates the flow of saliva, bile and gastric secretions & some research suggests, ginger may also have anti-ulcer activity by inhibiting gastric lesions. Similarly, turmeric wields anti-inflammatory effects on almost every area of the body. In the gut, curcumin is noted for it's effects on reducing gastrointestinal spasms, abdominal pain and indigestion.
Prebiotic rich foods:
Probiotics are frequently discussed in relation to gut health, but prebiotics play an equally important role. Prebiotics are a non-digestible fibre compound which act as a fertiliser for beneficial bacteria, giving them food to grow. Typically they increase the levels of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in our guts- aka the good guys. Ensuring adequate levels of these bacteria is important in protecting against gastrointestinal damage, promoting pH balance within the gut and supporting vitamin B production. Prebiotic rich foods include onion, garlic, jerusalem artichoke, legumes, dandelion root, beetroot and pumpkin seeds. Feed the good bugs!
Slippery Elm
Technically, slippery elm is a herb (ulmus rubra) but it's consumed in food form as a powder. The inner bark of slippery elm is what's used medicinally. It is recognised as a mucilage- capable of trapping water, causing it to swell and create a gel like consistency. Slippery elm coats mucous membrane surfaces thereby soothing inflamed and irritated tissue. It's soothing action and fibre content make it great for the treatment of diarrhoea by slowing down bowel transit time. It's useful in all gastrointestinal conditions particularly gastric reflux, peptic ulcers, IBS and IBD.
Every single body is different and depending on what symptoms or conditions you are experiencing, healing the gut takes commitment and dedication. Be encouraged that food can be medicine for our gastrointestinal system and we get at least 3 votes a day to harm or heal! Next time, we look at how our gut affects our skin.

A show about death with Kate Dimbleby: is that all there is?
In association with Women by Wise and Vital Digression
A special evening of music and conversation about death, loss and saying the wrong thing.
Singer Kate Dimbleby & Naadia Sheriff (piano) in conversation with actress Rebecca Peyton and award-winning writer Cathy Rentzenbrink.
Dimbleby, Rentzenbrink and Peyton are all solo artists - telling personal stories through music, theatre and books. But they share a common interest. For one night only, they join together to sing, talk and laugh their way through the darkness.
Peyton says she doesn't want to ruin Rentzenbrink's recovery from her bereavement, Rentzenbrink says she has never met anyone closer to death than herself till she met Peyton and Dimblebyis wondering what she can bring to the party (apart from some great songs and the wonderful pianist Sheriff)…
As the evening progresses they reach across the darkened spaces between us all tickling the scary bits of life until they laugh and we laugh too.
Dimbleby's new album release Songbirds has been hailed as "ground-breaking... An artist at the top of her game" (Radio 6 Music). Rentzenbrink's new book A Manual for Heartache has just been released as a follow up to her award-winning memoir The Last Act of Love. Peyton's one-woman show Sometimes I laugh like my Sister is touring worldwide.
"A reminder of how absurdly precious life is" - The Times
"Rentzenbrink offers a message of enormous hope for anybody who is going through loss, grief or trauma" - The Sunday Times
Should you wish to enjoy dinner or a light bite to eat before or after your show, Brasserie Zédel is located just across the foyer from Crazy Coqs. To book a table, please call 020 7734 4888 or visit us online at www.brasseriezedel.com/reservations.


text: The Importance of Having a Will Posted: Thu, Feb 22, 2018 By making a will, you have control over the distribution of your property upon your demise. After working hard for so many years, you deserve the right to disperse your assets in the way that pleases you most. Through a last will and testament, you can decide exactly how you want your estate to be divided to include real estate property, personal goods and money. Without a will, this decision is left up to the state, and your wishes could be ignored. Drafting a will is a fairly straightforward process. If you don't have a will yet, here are six good reasons to get one done. Executor of Estate In your will, you can designate an executor of your estate. That person will be responsible for implementing your wishes concerning the distribution of your property. If you have no will, the court will appoint its own executor who is not obligated to distribute your estate as you would like. Distribution of Property In a will, you decide how your property will be distributed upon your demise. If you have specific preferences on how your goods and property should be divided, you can outline these preferences in a will to simplify the distribution process when you're gone. Guardianship of Minor Children A last will provides you a means of selecting a legal guardian to care for your minor children after you're gone. This is of extreme importance for the health and welfare of your children as you can choose someone you trust who will have your children's best interest at heart. You can also choose a property manager to manage your minor children's inheritance until they are of age. It's much better to have a trusted relative or friend managing your children's property than a stranger appointed by the court. Caretaker for Pets Seniors can name a caretaker for their pet(s) in their will to ensure their feline or canine companion is well taken care of upon their demise. You can also allocate funds to cover the costs of your pet's future care. Backup to Living Trust Your will can act as a backup to a living trust or another form of estate planning to ensure the care of your children and distribution of your estate are handled according to your instructions. Reduce Family Conflict A will that states how you want your property divided leaves little room for relatives to speculate your thoughts on the matter as they're plainly written in black and white. Knowing your preferences could help minimize conflicts and disputes over distribution of goods when you're gone. At Beverly Hills Carmel, we encourage seniors to finalize matters concerning their estate while they're in good health to avoid problems later on. If you have questions concerning wills and testaments, contact us at 310-278-9720 for counsel on getting one done. You'll have greater peace knowing your estate will be handled according to your wishes when you pass on. Tags: Will, Seniors, Health, Importance

Today, Republicans extol the virtues of lowering marginal tax rates, citing as their model the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which lowered the top individual income tax rate to just 28 percent from 50 percent, and the corporate tax rate to 34 percent from 46 percent. What follows, they say, would be an economic boon. Indeed, textbook tax theory says that lowering marginal tax rates while holding revenue constant unambiguously raises growth.
But there is no evidence showing a boost in growth from the 1986 act. The economy remained on the same track, with huge stock market crashes — 1987's "Black Monday," 1989's Friday the 13th "mini-crash" and a recession beginning in 1990. Real wages fell.
I helped create the GOP tax myth. Trump is wrong: Tax cuts don't equal growth.

The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has brought about staggering new revenue opportunities. Capitalizing on these opportunities is vital to staying ahead of your competition and expanding your business in the future. Companies that have the means to quickly and easily put together products and offers that leverage opportunities brought about by the IoT are going to find themselves far ahead of the curve and seizing entirely new market segments. Conversely, those that don't have this capability risk being left behind as disruption occurs and their competition blows right past them.
By 2020, it's estimated that there will be 50 billion connected devices, and the whole of the IoT market (when combined with big data) will reach over $14 trillion in annual sales. Additionally, the IoT is opening up opportunities for amazing market expansion. Here are just a few industries where it's having a major impact:
Smart Homes – By 2019, 70% of consumers plan on having at least one smart home device, and this market is expected to reach $490 billion in revenue.
Healthcare – By 2025, IoT-related healthcare revenue will exceed $2.5 trillion. Healthcare is expected to have the fastest increase in IoT adoption over the next five years.
Automotive – Approximately 25% of car buyers already feel that internet connectivity is more important than engine power or fuel efficiency.
As you can see from this small sampling, the IoT is not only creating new products and markets, but is transforming existing markets like technology, healthcare, and automotive. Companies in these fields have profited for decades through a series of one-off purchases. For continued success they need to harness the power of the IoT to cultivate strong streams of recurring revenue, which allows them to reach new levels of profitability that were unattainable just a few years ago.
With this much at stake, can you afford to not explore these options? What's more, do you know what you need to be successful in the IoT world? No matter what your level of understanding is about the Internet of Things, Aria's expertise and IoT billing capabilities can help.
For additional reading, and for more information about the Internet of Things numbers listed above, please see: The IoT: New Opportunities Bring New Security Challenges.
In order to fully cash in on the Internet of Things, you need the agility to experiment with innovative monetization models that might not even exist today. Aria's unique set of tools empower you to quickly and easily create your own monetization and pricing schemes, which enables you to take advantage of entirely new business strategies.
Additionally, Aria's Internet of Things billing resources allow you to rapidly test new offers to see what works best, so you can capture the largest part of the market with your new IoT initiatives. You can manage sophisticated monetization strategies, adapt them quickly to pursue new opportunities, and drive growth from existing customers by better understanding their behaviors and values. Don't let yesterday's systems derail tomorrow's opportunities. Grab hold of the future with Aria.
Whether you're monetizing API calls, MRI machines, car services, security devices, voice services, storage, or access, Aria offers the flexibility to make your IoT-fueled business strategy a reality. Aria's flexibility and mastery of Internet of Things billing ensures that you can define an offering and manage its monetization in a way that makes sense for your business and your market. This allows you to disrupt your industry, expand your reach, foster recurring revenue, get on top, and stay there.
To maximize recurring revenue that the IoT can bring to your company, the goal should obviously be getting customers to actively and repeatedly purchase your products over time. But what is the best way to make that happen?
The answer is getting to know your customers, and getting to know them exceedingly well. You must be able to anticipate their needs, maximize their satisfaction, and present them with keenly targeted cross-sell and upsell opportunities. This is where usage data enters the game, as understanding how your customers use your products and services presents you with deeper insights into their habits, behaviors, and consumption patterns that you can't see otherwise.
While many systems only measure usage that is charged for, Aria's IoT billing capabilities go far beyond this to help improve recurring revenue outcomes across the board. The old adage is true—knowledge is power—and with Aria, the knowledge you get about your customers helps you to tailor offers more specifically honed to their individual needs, tastes, and habits.

Case Study P500
Positek rotary sensor at heart of unique valve positioning system
When valve actuator control supplier Domgas International, now Limitorque, was looking to utilise an unusual system of flow control. As Domgas Special Projects Manager, Mike Thurlow, explained, the actual valve is a "little bit unique" - a ball valve is being used for flow control and Domgas was appointed to supply 60 hydraulic systems, complete with micro-processor for networking, health monitoring and control.
"Conventionally a hydraulic servo-system would be used, which is a relatively expensive system. We have designed and engineered a system which provides the accuracy of a typical servo for half the cost."
For this project, Domgas had developed a system whereby a highly accurate sensor was required to feed information into the plc programme - which Limitorque had revised to match the hydraulic systems to the electric actuator systems.
"Basically the sensor looks at the position of the valve. The program compares this with the incoming signal - which tells it where the valve should be. This signal is transmitted to drive the hydraulic actuator and the valve into the correct position," says Mike Thurlow.
"The accuracy levels required were highly demanding, 0.4% for over 90 degrees movement, which means that less than half of one degree was the level of accuracy demanded." Having discounted several other options, Mike Thurlow found the answer to his requirement in a highly accurate position sensor - the Positek Rotary Inductive Position Sensor.
Launched by Positek in 1994, RIPS® sensor is a non-contacting sensor which has been developed with an "internal" electronic interface, utilising unique micro-electronic technology. It has proved particularly suited to control valve applications, providing operational durability along with excellent performance in terms of both accuracy and stability compared with the other inductive sensors.
"We had looked at straightforward potentiometers and also at shaft encoders, but neither were suitable as effective solutions for the accuracy required," says Mike Thurlow.
"Potentiometers are just not accurate enough, particularly when we were faced with big ambient temperature changes. Shaft encoders are very expensive and also require additional electronics - and cheaper versions did not supply the levels of accuracy we needed.
I first came across Positek at an exhibition symposium and began discussing the possibilities of utilising the RIPS® sensor within this application," he adds.
"It provided the accuracy we required, and also had significant advantages in its price - which seemed very cost-effective. It is also very compact and well protected. We initially ordered fifty of the sensors from Positek for the first exercise and have recently ordered a further twenty."
Mike Thurlow is enthusiastic about the future possibilities for this system, with the Positek RIPS® sensor an important component. "We were not previously aware of position sensors such as RIPS® sensor and believe there is considerable potential for this application."

Last Saturday, David and I went to Barcelona to celebrate our first year together. Yay!
The weather was terrible: It rained all day, but we didn't mind too much, since we had planned some very cool activities.
This is the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, a complex of fountains, cascades and pools. The best time to visit it is at night, when the fountains can produce infinite light-and-water combinations. It's truly an emblem of Barcelona.
After we got to Montjuïc, we went to the fair BioCultura in Palau Sant Jordi, an indoor sporting arena and multi-purpose installation.
One of my students had given me two invitation tickets for the fair, so we took advantage of it.
I'm new to all this ecological products thing, but I really enjoyed the experience.
In BioCultura you could find from food to cosmetics, fashion and healthy home products.
In the afternoon, we went to the theatre to see a play by Lloll Bertran, a well-known Catalan comedian that I like since I was a child, when I used to see her on TV.
Despite the heavy rain, Saturday was an amazing day for us.
Happy 1st anniversary to you and me, my love!
What did you do last weekend?

Varicose Veins, Are You At Risk?
You have heard of people getting varicose veins, but do you know what they are and what causes them?
I bet you are thinking that only old people or women who are pregnant develop varicose veins.
This is not true. Younger people, especially women, can develop varicose veins at any time in their life. Read on to discover what varicose veins are and if you are at risk for getting them.
What Causes Varicose Veins?
What Are Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are simply large veins that become gnarled or twisted. The veins that are most commonly affected are those in your legs and your feet. But any vein in your body can become varicose. Most of the time varicose veins are simply a cosmetic concern, but occasionally varicose veins can cause aching pain and pressure and can lead to more serious problems.
Varicose veins can also be a sign of other disorders of your circulatory system.
What Are The Symptoms Of Varicose Veins?
Varicose veins affect approximately 25 percent of the female population and 15 percent of the male population.
Signs and symptoms of varicose veins include:
- An achy or heavy feeling in your legs accompanied by burning or throbbing.
You may have muscle cramps and swelling in your lower legs.
You may also experience intense itching around one or more of your veins.
- Legs with varicose may often keep up you at night due to the pain or very uncomfortable feeling running up and down your legs.
- You legs will often hurt when you just get out of bed.
You can tell a varicose vein because it is dark purple in color and is cord-like and twisted and often gnarled.
If you develop skin ulcers around the ankle area, you should seek immediate medical attention because this is a sign of severe vascular disease.
Why Do Some Of Us Develop Varicose Veins?
The function of your veins is to carry blood back to your heart, but to do this the veins must work against gravity.
Muscle contractions in your legs will help to pump the blood back to the heart.
When you grow older, you lose elasticity in your veins which decrease their ability to contract and pump the blood back to the heart.
The result is blood pooling in your veins and causing them to become engorged or swollen. The purplish color is the result of the deoxygenated blood sitting in your veins.
Pregnant women can develop varicose veins also because of the increased volume of blood flow in the body during pregnancy. The flow of blood in the lower half of the body is decreased because the circulatory system is sending more blood to the uterus to support the growing fetus. The side effect of this can be varicose veins in the legs.

What Increases My Risks Of Developing Varicose veins?
As you have read above there are many reasons why we can develop varicose veins. Hover, certain factors can increase your risk, some of these include:
- Being overweight. When your body carries extra weight it puts more pressure on your vascular system and will often lead to varicose veins.
- Genetics. Although you can not control your family history you can be aware of it and take measures to help minimize your chances. We will discuss this a little further down the page.
- Being sedentary. More so than standing on your feet all day, sitting at a desk 8 hours a day puts extra pressure on the veins in your legs as the blood pools from inactivity.
- Standing for long periods of time. Often cashiers and store clerks will develop varicose veins when they have a job that requires that they stand in on small location during the day.
- Pregnancy. Pregnancy is a very common time for women to develop varicose veins due to the extra body weight and also from the extra blood needed by the baby. One good note however, is the fact that many women find that their varicose veins go away within a few months of the their baby being born.
- Frequent Constipation. Being constipated put undue pressure on your vascular system. It can lead to hemorrhoids (these are actually varicose veins) and varicose veins of the legs.
Steps You Can Take To Help Alleviate Some of The Symptoms
Yes, varicose veins can be painful and annoying, but there are a few things that you can do to give some relief.
- When ever possible try to elevate your legs. This will give the valves in your legs a rest. While you are watching TV, prop your legs up. If you can raise the foot of your bed so it's higher that your pillow end. Even a 2" raise can make a difference.
- Watch your weight. Excess weight means that the heart and veins have to work harder. If you can keep your weight "normal" for your height and body build, you won't put extra strain on your veins.
- Massage your legs in the morning and evening to aid in circulation. Spend about 3 minutes 2-3 times a day massaging your legs. This will aid circulation.
- Eat plenty of fiber rich foods like 100% whole grain breads, fresh fruits and a mixture of raw and cooked veggies. If you are constantly constipated it put additional stress on your veins. Besides hemorrhoids, constipation can cause varicose veins of the legs.
- Limit your salt intake. When you eat foods that are high in salt content you retain water. This water add extra weight to your body so it's as though you are over weight.
- If you have a job where you need to stand up or sit down for long periods try to move your legs around to help with circulation. Massage occasionally if possible.
- Wear compression or support pantyhose. If you are pregnant look for support pantyhose made specifically for pregnant women. These will have a tighter compression on your legs, with gentle support for your belly. There are also compression socks on the market (and can be found in most major department stores) which are the height or tube or knee socks and can be worn by both women and men.
Varicose Veins Treatment Options
Many people with varicose veins want to get rid of them whether for cosmetic reasons or due to pain, swelling and the health factors that they can cause.
So what are the treatment options?
Sclerotherapy is often used on spider or varicose veins which are not severe. It is a simple procedure that often take place in the doctors office. An injection of a solution (usually saline) is given directly into the spider or varicose vein. This then will irritate the vein causing it to swell, side of the vein will stick together and then it will collapse. The vein will then dissolve over time. Expect to see some discoloration of the vein as it is dissolving and will take up to two years to completely disappear.
There is very little pain involved, just a bit of itching or burning and sometimes cramping. it will often take several visits depending on how many veins are involved. Each office visit only requires a 1 hour appointment.
Thermal Or Laser Ablation
Both thermal and laser ablation are very similar to sclerotherapy but in the case of thermal ablation an electrical current is used and in laser ablation a laser light beam is used to cause them to seal and dissolve over time.
Albation may be performed in a doctors office but often is performed in a speciality clinic or in a hospital as an outpatient.
Vein Stripping
Vein stripping is usually performed on veins that are gnarled and twisted. An incision is made in both the groin area and near the calf muscle and the vein is pulled out of either incision.
In the case of severely twisted veins there may be several of these incisions made and the vein is pulled out in sections and then the incisions are either stitched or stapled closed. The stitches or staples are usually removed about 10 days later.
The legs are then bandaged with ace type bandages and are loosened a bit each day for 4-6 days.
Vein stripping is performed in a hospital as an out patient but may require an overnight stay.

Books To Read About Varicose Veins
I like the solutions section you have. Often people present problems without solutions, nice to know there are those who are thoughtful that way.
a genetic curse!
A really comprehensive guide to what's available. Especially liked the YouTube vids!
A really good lense. I guess you might like this page as well on http://www.thevascularsurgeon.com/treatment_dibeti...
Most informative hub I've seen on varicose veins - the videos were nice.
go head nice topis
I Too have this problem I am in 30's I am making sure I follow the prevention steps. Thanks for this article.
Great article. I especially like your use of videos to expand the range of knowledge.
Killer hub and I learned a lot. I'll use your tips and maybe I can avoid these things, since I sit in front of a computer many hours a day.
I'm going to make sure that when I play my guitars, it will be in a 'stand-up' position as often as I can. Movement for them veins is on my agenda... Thanks for the Tips!
Ron Greenehttp://www.MusicDials.com
Wow, I better get out for my chair now.
Thanks for the good information
Nice, informational Hub!
Very good I read this ! I am going to make sure I get up from my chair.
I spend too many hours in front of my computer screen without
letting my legs do something - which is one of the mentioned risks here...
Thanks you so much for putting this info online !
Outstanding article. If people will be standing for a long time and choose support hose, they need to do what we did when I was an international stewardess between college and graduate school. Shower at night. Leave the strong support hose on the bedside table. Alarm goes off beside you, turn it off without getting up. Turn around, put your feet up on the wall so they are elevated without obstruction for 15 minutes. Then with feet in the air still, put on the panty hose. THEN get up. If I did that, I could stand an 11-hour flight (with all those G-forces) from New York to Rio. But without it, a 5-6 hour flight to Europe was an excruciating experience! It works, folks.

Freshwater Habitat Restoration: Island Restoration/Stabilization
Over the past several years' staff from Bears Bluff NFH, Wadmalaw Island Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office, SC Department of Natural Resources biologists and Santee Cooper Power have planted water willow around eroding islands in order to stabilize the shorelines by natural means. This group of islands acts as a breakwater and protects a large expanse of ideal spawning and nesting habitat for a variety of fish and bird species. In May and June 2011, biologists from the Bears Bluff NFH, SCDNR, and Santee Cooper Power partnered to build gabions around one island that is undergoing significant erosion. The gabions are large rectangular cages constructed from galvanized wire. Multiple cages are secured into place in front of the island and filled with rip rap/rock. The structures work by absorbing and deflecting the impact of waves before they reach the island, thus dissipating the energy and reducing erosion. The gabions are designed to trap sediment during storm events and allow the islands to re-build rather than erode. Additional work will involve planting water willow behind the gabions to further reduce erosion and enhance habitat. If proven successful, it is hoped this project will serve as a model for larger scale restoration efforts in the future. This work was partially funded through a fish habitat grant obtained thru SARP (Southeastern Aquatic Resource Partnership).

Its a Mexican Sugarskull 10th birthday party!
We had planned to hold this party at the park, but the stormy, windy, rainy weather was thinking otherwise, so we held it in our garage ... not to worry - we still had an amazing time!!
Games: We had a few fun ones - some traditional games such as Pass the Parcel, as well as some I'd found out about online and thought would be perfect for the day, such as Pass the Sombrero.
Fun activity: Thread your own candy necklace. For this, we used round jelly candies, pretzels, cheezels and fruit loops.
Some pictures of the party table: the table was easy and affordable, using hand-made tissue paper confetti, white tablecloths from Kmart and a gold paper table runner made from a roll of paper wrap from Ikea.
(IKEA has the best gift wrap - affordable and great quality!)
The confetti dot paper napkins and paper cups were from Woolworths. Paper treat bags in red, pink and purple were personalized with a hand-made Gracias Amigo note and purple floral ribbon.
Polka dot drink dispensers and chalkboard signs from Kmart.
The cupcakes were a hit - note: i'm not a baker so I cheated a bit, using store bought cupcakes (shh!), then topping them with bright blue icing that I made, a bubblegum topper and papel picado flags.
Food by the fabulous Rio Grande Taco Van and face painting by Artypants.
The cake! I am very proud to say that I made this. I'm by no means and I mean -no means- a baker. So I'm quite proud of my efforts!
For the Mexican Day of the Dead Girl cake I used Monster High's Skelita doll and a Dolly Varden cake tin with two more smaller cakes below, as Skelita was quite long.
I used bright blue icing for her dress (and the same icing on the bubblegum cupcakes that you may have seen above). Her dress was entirely edible, with sugar paste gerberas, daisies and stars. I also used Nerd candies for the vines on her dress.
We had the best day!

Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd quits politics
Former Australian leader Kevin Rudd has announced his retirement from politics.
In an emotional speech, the former Labor Party leader said he had not arrived at the decision lightly.
But Mr Rudd, who served as prime minister twice, attributed the decision to his family and said it had been an honour to lead the nation.
Mr Rudd led Labor into the 7 September general election which saw the Liberal-National coalition of Tony Abbott elected.
In a speech to parliament on Wednesday night, Mr Rudd said his decision had "been the product of much soul-searching" with his family "over the last few months".
"But for me, my family is everything, always has been, always will be, which is why I will not be continuing as a member of this parliament beyond this week," he said.
Mr Rudd, 56, also wished Mr Abbott well, saying that being prime minister "was the hardest job in the land".
He added that despite "hurtful" statements that had been made, he bore no-one any malice. "Life is far too short for that," Mr Rudd said.
Mr Rudd said his future plans included establishing a "national apology foundation", in connection with his apology to indigenous Australians, which he said was one of his biggest achievements as prime minister.
He also said he intended to remain active in the international community, in areas that included global economic governance, China and climate change.
He ended his speech by saying: "On this final occasion in the parliament and as is now officially recorded in the classics for occasions such as this, it really is time for me to zip."
'Big figure'
Mr Rudd first became prime minister in 2007 and proved popular with the public.
But amid controversies over a shelved emissions-trading scheme and an unpopular mining tax, his party - key factions of which were said to dislike him deeply - moved against him, and he was ousted by his deputy, Julia Gillard.
But that move triggered a backlash and Mr Rudd remained popular with voters.
In June 2013, with a general election looming and support for Labor plummeting, he won a leadership challenge against Ms Gillard and became prime minister weeks before the polls.
But the months of bitter infighting had cost the Labor Party support and his government lost the election.
After the polls, he faced calls from within his party to step down, drawing a permanent line under the previous turmoil.
Mr Abbott paid tribute to Mr Rudd, describing him as "one of the big figures in this parliament" and a leading figure in Australian public life "over the best part of two decades".
He added he was confident that "one way or another he will continue to serve our country".

It depends on a few elements in a chart, not just the sun sign alone, but with an Aquarian male, you've got a chance. The chance depends on his ability to transcend the innate difficulties associated with this sign. And, to a large part, this is also dependent on the compassion and understanding of the Pisces. Equivocate your needs. Explain what you want. Ask for what you want. Ask for a little more than you need, too. This insures that you get some of what you want. Remember that the Aquarius male loves his brain, and brain games are the best way to hook them up.There's a refreshing and unusual quality found in this sign's basic make up. Don't be afraid to reverse roles, either. It's also a sign that depends on certain immutable desires. Be very careful before putting big changes into action. Tread carefully, but don't be afraid to walk.
Get used to the fact that he's "thinking about it" at the moment. He will demonstrate his care and concern eventually. Maybe not fast enough, but with good communication, this is workable.
