That Thing You're Writing Is Awesome…Now for Your Bio
December 29, 2017
Categories: General
It's the New Year, a time to reinvent yourself, and what better way to start than with your author bio (that thing typically appearing at the end of an article)? Even if you haven't written anything yet, let's get your bio out of the way. That way, when your awesome work makes its way into the world, you don't have to go through the flop-sweat-second-guess-who-am-I cycle of introspection that ends with you slamming your head against the keyboard and sending whatever...

Creative Culture
A bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings.
Kate Chopin, The Awakening
I'm opening with this quote because this is a story about Banned Book Week in New Orleans. To be fair, The Awakening, a novel about a woman who marries into a New Orleans Creole family and rebels against the prescribed roles of her social position, was never outright banned; I had to read it in 10th grade English, so it wasn't exactly blacklisted material. But it was controversial, even radical at the time it was published (1899), and was both censored and protested upon release.
With that sort of pedigree, the above quote by Chopin, pulled from a novel that cuts between New Orleans and Grand Isle, seems perfect for Banned Book Week in New Orleans. The New Orleans Public Library is hosting the event, which celebrates works of literature that have been censored, challenged and outright banned, ranging from Harry Potter to To Kill a Mockingbird; the commemoration lasts until Sep 24.
Monday, Sep 22, is one of the lynchpins of the festival, and will be marked by free readings that last from 6-8pm at the Loyola Ave Main Branch of the public library system. Local authors, including Maurice Ruffin, author of our guide to New Orleans East, and Rebecca Snedeker, co-author of Unfathomable City will read passages from various famous banned books.
Best of all? There's gonna be a break for refreshments that will include beer and wine. Because this is New Orleans, and if we're gonna have a reading series that addresses censorship and freedom of expression, don't think we won't let you get a little sozzed in the process.

The Nanpuoto temple is one of the famous attractions in Xiamen. This temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and is still used up to now although the temple has undergone a number of renovations.
Let me take you for a walk inside the temple:
"Imagine" you have just paid the admission's ticket. Let the front-door person get the stub of your ticket at the entrance, but don't forget to take back of what's left of the ticket - that's your souvenir for this trip.
As soon as you're in the temple, feel free to look around with respect to those in prayers, remember this is "holy ground".
Inside, you will smell incense, see - buddhist scriptures, images, scrolls, bronze bells, tourists, monks, a vegetarian restaurant, washrooms, fish and lotus ponds, wishing areas (includes a rock and a pond where you could throw around coins and make a wish.(See the coins on top of the rock?
- if your coin makes it and sits on the rock, make a wish or two, and that goes with the pond wishing area, too!)
If ever you come back next year, and don't see your coins up there, don't ask me, ask the monks : ) Interesting right, but seriously, let's do a breakdown, now.

Medium or Large?
Sophie Winston
blogs for the
Domestic Diva Mysteries
by Krista Davis
Pumpkins and gold mums have begun to appear at the front doors of the houses on my street. The air has turned crisp and a few leaves are beginning to skitter along the sidewalks.
If you have never been to Old Town, Alexandria, it's sort of Williamsburg-ish in flavor. You can almost feel the presence of previous residents who lived there one or two hundred years ago.
There's a popular TV show right now in which a medium says she might look like a large, but she's really a medium. So I can't help thinking of the medium who came to my house for my niece's birthday party last fall.
We all snickered when she got some things very wrong. For instance, she told us about a woman in a ball gown who recalled a party in my living room in 1860. Except that my ex-husband's Aunt Faye added that room in the 1970's. Whoops!
But some people, including me, think Aunt Faye is the ghost in my kitchen. So I'm not entirely sure that mediums can't speak to the dead. My quite lucid and rational former mother-in-law stops by to talk, not with me, but with her deceased sister, Faye, in my kitchen. Who am I to say they're not actually communicating?
So much that we hear and read about ghosts is scary. But if there are ghosts, surely Casper isn't the only friendly one. Faye has always been a kind presence, well, except when Natasha is in my kitchen. The portrait of Faye over the fireplace always swings to a slant when Natasha comes over.
So what do you think? Are there ghosts? Can mediums speak to them?
14 comments:
I'm keeping an open mind. I know my mother once visited a medium who said she was bang on with many of the things she said. My mother recorded the discussion, but when she went to play the tape, it was completely garbled. Did my mother forget the change the batteries in her recorder, or was the medium sending a message on a different wavelength?ReplyDelete
I want to be in your kitchen sometime, Sophie, when Natasha walks in!ReplyDeleteReplies
Come on down, Willow! I have a nice guest room all ready for you. Since Natasha barges in on a regular basis, I can almost guarantee you'll be there for it.Delete
~ Sophie
I've had a few "sightings" that make me keep an open mind. Plus my family has passed down a few stories that makes one wonder.ReplyDelete
I saw something when I was a small child I woke up with it standing next to my bed. I put my head under the covers and screamed! I remember it vividly.ReplyDelete
Sophie, I'm pretty sure ghosts exist. Friendly and not so unfriendly. I think one visited me in college. The scary kind. Makes me shiver to remember. Only think because the room got chilly and all sound stopped. Granted, I was taking a nap, so maybe I dreamed it. But I woke up in a cold sweat in a cold room.ReplyDelete
~Daryl aka AveryReplies
In college? Like the ghost of a previous student who had died? Scary!Delete
~ Sophie
I just don't know... my rational mind says 'No way!', and my wishful mind says, 'Well, maybe!'. any given day one will win out over the other!ReplyDeleteReplies
LOL! That's what I like. A person with a firm conviction! I feel the same way. Sometimes I think it's nonsense, but too many weird things have happened . . .Delete
~ Sophie
I definitely have my own personal ghost who visits now and again.Delete
Dru, I'm definitely buying you a drink at Malice so I can hear all about it!Delete
~ Krista

No, to both questions. Mediums take advantage of people in their time of grief when they are suggestible and desperate for contact from their missed loved ones. There is no recreatable, retestable, measurable evidence for the existence of ghosts.ReplyDelete

Has Time Of Day Shift Been Enabled?
Has Time Of Day Shift Been Enabled?
@johncrab, yes Tesla-Energy implemented Time-based control some time ago. You also have the ability to use PW2 batteries in lieu of grid energy when you have your PW2's set to self-powered mode. We have two PW2's installed 14 months ago to complement our 13.2 kWh solar PV system, and are completely self-sufficient (no grid energy use) for ~9months of the year. I live in Edmonds, WA and we do not produce enough solar from November through early February to fully charge our PW2's and remain self sufficient, and do require grid energy during that period. This year we have been completely self sufficient since mid-February. I have been blown away with how well the PW2's have worked for us. Since we do not have TOU rates here, I have not used time-based control so can't comment on that particular function.
Here's what the website says about it:
David, I'm also in Edmonds, and my installation (9.1 KW + 2 Powerwalls) just started today. Should be on line next week, depending on SnoPUD inspection/meter install. Will be interesting to compare efficiencies...
@jrweiss98020 Where in Edmonds? We live off the inter urban trail near Lake Ballinger. You will love your PW2's. Absolute game changer for us. Our utility PUD was great to deal with, and approved our installation the day A&R Solar finished the installation, so there was no waiting for us. Good luck and report back how things are working.

AsystsU strives to ensure we offer the best service and resultant products for our clients. To achieve this we employ a highly motivated and trained team who are subject matter experts in their field. However, due to the demand for our services and the need to enhance our expertise to meet the needs of specific contracts, we have a genuine requirement for support from Associates that have a track record in offering excellent subcontracted work.
A large proportion of our work requires us to remain agile and support one short sharp project after another; this enables us to have a flexible approach to enhancing our team to meet demand. AsystsU can quickly integrate associates into the team, providing them the necessary background and guidance to hit the ground running. In addition we employ Associates to work independently, working directly with our customers, should that specialist need arise.
Associates employed by AsystsU are expected to display that they have the aptitude, reliability, thoroughness and communication skills to enable them to fit into our team. Whilst also offering value for money! In return AsystsU endeavour to provide Associates with clear direction on the role, methods and outputs we utilise. We would expect that any Associate working alongside AsystsU would not only foster future working relationships but also benefit from expanding and enhancing existing skills and networks.

When To Begin Music Lessons
Adults can start any instrument at any time. Success is based on how willing an adult is to commit to practicing.
For children, starting at the right age is a key element to the success of their lessons. Some people will tell you "the sooner the better" but this attitude can actually backfire and be a negative. If a child is put into lessons too soon they may feel overwhelmed and frustrated and want to stop lessons. The last thing you want to do is turn a child off music just because they had one unpleasant experience which could have been prevented. Sometimes if the child waits a year to start lessons their progress can be much faster. Children who are older than the suggested earliest starting age usually do very well. The following are guidelines we have found to be successful in determining how young a child can start taking music lessons.
3 – 6 Years Old
If a preschooler has a keen desire and wants to start music, we recommend either our Music Adventures or Music Explorers program which will give them a good foundation in music basics which will be helpful in the transition later to private lessons. At this age, private lessons generally do not work as the child has not yet experienced the formal learning environment of kindergarten or school and learns more effectively through the game oriented preschool environment.
At our school, 5 years old is the youngest age that we start children in private piano lessons. At this age they have begun to develop longer attention spans and can retain material with ease.
Guitar – Acoustic, Electric and Bass
8 years old is the earliest we recommend for guitar lessons. Guitar playing requires a fair amount of pressure on the fingertips from pressing on the strings. Children under 8 generally have small hands and may find playing uncomfortable. Bass guitar students generally are 10 years old and older.
Voice Lessons
For children younger than 10, we have a children's program that teaches them how to use their voices properly, in a fun, relaxed environment. For students over 10 years old, private vocal lessons tend to focus more on the physical nature of voice lessons (proper breathing techniques, development of the vocal chords and lung capacity), that the younger body is generally not yet ready for.
The average age of our youngest drum student is 8. This varies greatly depending on the size of the child. They have to be able to reach both the pedals and the cymbals.
Flute, Clarinet & Saxophone
Due to lung capacity (and in the case of the saxophone the size of the instrument), we recommend that most woodwind beginners are 9 and older.
We accept violin students from the age of 5. Some teachers will start children as young as 3, but experience has shown us the most productive learning occurs when the beginner is 5 or older.
The trumpet requires physical exertion and lung power. 9 years and older is a good time to start the trumpet.

National Long-Term Care Awareness Month:
Developing Outreach Programs
As the oldest baby boomers begin to enter their 70s, their potential need for long-term care services draws nearer. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 70% of people turning 65 can expect to use long-term care services in some form or another during their lives.1 In some cases, they could even need those services for up to three decades. But longevity is not the only precursor to long-term care needs. On average, 8% of people ages 40 to 50 have a disability that could require long-term care services,2 and about 37% of those who need long-term care are under the age of 65.3
NAPIS Reports Made Easy!
See how more than half of all agencies in the national aging network save time!
In April, when President Obama reauthorized the Older Americans Act (OAA), a key provision was improving cooperation and coordination with area agencies on aging and other community-based entities to provide information and referrals regarding available home- and community-based services.4 Because November is National Long-Term Care Awareness Month, it is a great time to focus on developing some outreach programs to help make consumers aware of the services available to them.
Here are a few strategies that some local agencies and AAAs are currently using:
Hosting workshops. There a variety of workshops you might consider, both on the health and financial spectrums of long-term care. Topics can run the gamut from dealing with chronic pain to finding suitable home health options to financial considerations. For the latter topic, consider partnering with a financial professional to offer a seminar and/or informational materials that will help consumers understand their financial options. With at-home care services averaging $20 per hour and assisted living facilities averaging $3,628 per month, it is important for consumers to plan for those costs in the event they need such services.5
Hosting a long-term care fair. Partner with home health agencies, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, insurance agents, social workers, and other agencies and professionals whose focus is on long-term care services.
Organizing caregiver support events. Caring for a family member or friend can be overwhelming. People in this type of role often have questions or concerns that only someone else in their situation would understand. By forming a group devoted to supporting the needs of caregivers, your organization can provide a safe, confidential platform that will nurture the ones who give so much of themselves to help their loved ones. Be sure to choose a facilitator who is experienced in this field and can point caregivers to additional information and resources.
The need for long-term care can be a complex issue for seniors, the disabled, and caregivers alike. Learn how Mediware's Harmony software connects caregivers directly with service providers for improved outcomes and lower administrative costs.

This week was BlogHer conference in New York, so I was much more stylish than usual.
Thursday I wore a red dress by Rachel Pally and Steve Madden espadrilles for a night around NYC. It was cool and comfy, although I was the queen of wardrobe malfunctions! When I walked up on this gorgeous rooftop deck, my skirt blew up a la Marilyn. Then my shoulder strap fell down like 3 times when I was reaching out to hug people. "Hi! Clearly, I am VERY excited to meet you!" So in the future, I will wear with caution. On completely not windy days.
Friday, I started out in this cute pink skirt from J. Crew then proceeded to sit on something during a cab ride and had to switch to the skirt I got at the CAbi event on Thursday night! Thank goodness I had another skirt in my arsenal! The cami and sweater are LOFT. This necklace is by ily couture and it was nearly identical to the one that the fashion director if Lord and Taylor on 5th Avenue was wearing. And Dmitry and Fabio of Project Runway told me they loved it. (SQUEEE!!) So you will be seeing it a lot, people. Get used to it.
Saturday, I wore this pink blazer from H&M with a lace top (from 77kids. Don't judge.). The jeans are 7 For All Mankind and the shoes are Target. But, by the end of this night, it was flip flops, as my feet were killing me after such a weekend!
Since I've been home it's been yoga pants galore. and will continue to be for probably a week or so.
Saturday we went out on a date! I tried out one of my outfits for BlogHer…
Its been a crazy week here. How does one little time ballet recital hijack an entire week? Anyway, on Thursday we had dress rehearsal for the recital. So I wore this cute aqua shirt from Anthroplogie with my cobalt jeans. My goal is to wear more brights! And Friday, I went to Red Mango and […]Continue reading →
It was a busy week! Whew! I barely even remembered to take pictures! Thursday I was running around and taking the kids to lessons and all sorts of things. I threw on a maxi skirt and t-shirt in an effort to stay cool while running around! top from LOFT | skirt from Target | Locket […]Continue reading →
Well, this is what I wore over the last two weeks, sort of. Several days were travel days (comfy mumfy clothes) and some days we were camping (just yucky) and a few days in Jamaica we were just wearing bathing suits all day (heaven). I love this maxi skirt – I got it at Kohl's […]Continue reading →
Friday, I was working working working and then took Colin to a birthday party. I just threw on this dolman sleeve tee and my jeans. I picked up this top on clearance at Old Navy for like $4 in the fall! LOVE deals like that! top: Old Navy {old} jeans: 7 for All Mankind {buy […]Continue reading →
Thursday I headed to Disney Social Media Moms conference. The first night, we had a party on the beach and I wore jeans and a gorgeous tunic I picked up at Loft Outlet last year. Friday was conference day! I wore the same thing I wore to the fashion show last week. I just love […]Continue reading →
It was a crazy week!! Wednesday I went out on a date! Yay! I love this raincoat. I picked it up on clearance at LOFT last year for under $10 and I wear it all the time. The bracelets are from Old Navy – they were $3 each. I bought this shirt at the LOFT […]Continue reading →
Friday I was styling in my new cognac leather jacket from Kohl's! HOW fun is that?! (Check out my fashion haul here – and enter to win a $100 Kohl's gift card!) I paired it with a ruffled tank and red jeans. jacket : kohl's {buy here} top : kohl's {buy here} jeans : old […]Continue reading →

Why Should You Keep Home Generator?
The United States is known for an increase in severe storms every year. As a result, there is power loss that ends up affecting many businesses and homes. Do you want to keep your work going on and your appliances running at home? Of course yes! This is why you need to purchase a home generator to provide you with power backup.
Many years back, our ancestors lived without electricity or heat. Things have greatly changed such that having a generator is not a luxury. After all, nobody wants the inconveniences caused by power outage when there is a storm or the transformer blows.
Why You Should Consider Best Home Generator
You might be wondering, do I really need a home generator? Yes, you do. The advantages that come with a home generator cannot be understated. Here are some of the ways in which a home generator will make your work easier and provide you with so many other benefits.
Shelters And Protects You From Storm
Standby generators that are permanently installed in your home play a huge role in monitoring the connection utility power. They can detect loss of power than fire up as compared to portable generators that require you to go outside and start them manually regardless of the condition out there.
Longer Run Time
If you compare the performance of a home generator and a portable generator, you will find out that a home generator provides you with a longer run time. This is because they are connected directly to your fuel source, liquid propane or natural gas hence giving a longer run time. They also produce enough electricity to provide your home with a reliable power backup.
Fresh Food For Long
Imagine a situation when you have food in your refrigerator, and then power outage occurs. What do you do to keep the food fresh? If you do not have a generator to provide you with power backup, your food might end up spoiling. Having a home generator provides you with fresh food for long hence saving you more money.
- Reduce Business Runtime
- If you have a business that heavily depends on electricity to power servers, refrigerators, and other appliances, the thought of going without electricity even for a second can lead to huge losses. You can save your business by purchasing a generator that will provide enough power to Keep Your Appliances Running.
- Calm Your Kids
Kids are afraid of being in the dark. If you have the best home generator, you can help them stay calm in situations of the power outage because the generator will ensure that the lights are on; hence you have nothing to worry about.
Peace Of Mind
Because home generators are wired in your home's electrical system, you do not need any setup, and they also have minimal maintenance. Once it is installed by a professional, homeowners are confident knowing that they have a powerful machine that protects their home and family.
Keeps Critical And Luxury Appliances Running
You don't have to stay a boring life simply because you have no electricity. If you have a home generator, life will still be normal, and you can enjoy watching television or using Jacuzzi tubs. Generators also provide you with lighting as well as powering critical appliances hence reducing stress in your home.
Now that you know some of the benefits that you will get from buying a home generator, the next big thing that you should think about is looking for a perfect generator for your home. What do you need to know when looking for a home generator? This is a question that many homeowners find difficult to answer. Generators are available in different sizes, and they also come with different budgets. You can get portable generators as well as large models that are permanently installed in your home.
A small portable generator is a perfect solution when you are looking for an extension cord to power few lights and your refrigerator so that food doesn't spoil. These generators are fully automatic because they can be attached to your home wiring system. On the other hand, large generators start for about 15 seconds when the power goes out. They also shut down automatically when power is back.
Again, you should also consider the wattage when you are buying a home generator. The amount of wattage that is put highly determines the number of lights and the appliances that can run at once. If you want the power to cover for basics, about 5000 watts will be okay.
Another important thing that you should have in mind when buying a home generator is the outlets and switches in your house so that it will be easy to know the right circuit on the service panel that powers what.
Last but not certainly the least, you should make a decision on the type of generator that you want in your home. Do you need a stationary or a portable generator? Both models come with their advantages and disadvantages, so it is up to you to weigh out your options and look for a generator that suits your needs best.
Final Thought
Now you have all the necessary information that you need in case of power outage, and it will be very easy for you to look for an alternative source of power. If you are well prepared, it will be very easy for you and your family to get through a hard time without electricity.
The best thing that you can do to get power backup is purchasing a dual fuel generator. Such machines will help you avoid the adverse effects that come along with power outage.
I know it can be a challenging task to look for a perfect home generator. I have researched the market for you and reviewed top five best generators that you can get to provide you with power backup. Check out their reviews, and I believe you will get a convenient home or portable generator to suit your power requirements.

C'mon deviant artists… you know you wanna.

The rate of diabetes in America's pets has more than tripled since 1970. Today it affects approximately 1 in every 160 dogs.Canine diabetes is a lifetime condition that requires careful blood monitoring and daily insulin injections, unlike human diabetes which can possibly be treated with a controlled diet. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas has the inability to produce insulin, known as Type 1. This is the type that affects virtually all dogs. Dogs can also develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy, just like humans. Diabetes is one of the most common endocrine diseases affecting middle-aged and senior dogs, with 70% of patients older than seven at the time of diagnosis. Diabetes rarely occurs in dogs younger than one year of age and is more common in females and neutered males than in intact males. These breeds may be at higher risk to develop diabetes partially due to genetics. Here are a few breeds that could be in the higher risk range, Keeshonds, Pulis, Cairn Terriers, Miniature Pinchers, Poodles (Miniature and Toy), Samoyeds, Austrailian Terriers, Schnuauzers, Spitz, Fox Terriers, Bichon Frise, Siberian Huskies, and Pugs. It is likely that around 50% of diabetic cases are linked to pancreatic damage caused by autoimmune disorders. This can possibly be attributed to genetics and or environmental factors. It is also possible that diet plays a factor in this diagnosis as well. Chronic inflammation of the pancreas may be attributed to around 30% of canine cases. The pancreatic disease can also result in the deficiency of digestive enzymes. The signs of diabetes can occur several months before the digestive enzyme deficiency appears. There is no clear evidence that obesity causes diabetes in dogs. A dog can develop insulin resistance due to being overweight, making it more difficult to regulate their condition. They can also develop pancreatitis due to obesity, which then can lead to diabetes. Some symptoms of diabetes are excessive thirst as well as more frequent urination. They can also experience weight loss even though they are still eating the same amount and sometimes more than normal. A simple blood and/or urine test can confirm a diabetes diagnosis. Canine diabetes may be complicated when the patient is already ill, such as not eating or vomiting which may require a hospital stay. Uncomplicated cases may be treated at home, which is the most common of the two. With proper treatment, dogs with diabetes can lead a normal life. The first six months is the most crucial due to regulating their insulin. Once that is stabilized, dogs can lead a normal, healthy, and happy life. Exercise should be consistent as far as the type of activity and time of day. Try to avoid intermittent or unplanned strenuous exercise. A good time for regular planned exercise would be 20 to 30 minutes before the evening meal and the administering of insulin. The key to taking care of your dog, if he is diagnosed with diabetes, is to stay on a daily schedule and be consistent. This will enable you to keep his insulin level at a regulated number. Once you know how much he or she needs to eat and what time, as well as the dosage of insulin to be regulated, it is just a matter of doing this the same every day from here on out. This includes whatever exercise plan can be fit into the day to keep the levels regulated. If you deter from this, his insulin will have to be adjusted, thus making a little more difficult for the caretaker/owner.

text: Hello there, this is your friendly neighborhood squid, and I am in need of a builder, specifically a builder who is great at building dinosaurs. On my fourth residence on smp3, I need a T-Rex built, and I don't think just looking one up on the internet and building it on the residence will do, as I need it's head to be turned about 90 degrees. I will provide all materials and I will pay. I will go in to detail and determine pay once the builder has been decided. Happy Memorial day!

There's so much great stuff to watch, we know. But as cord-cutting becomes more common and networks like Starz, FX, HBO, and CBS decide to stop playing nice with the likes of Netflix and launch their own streaming/subscription video on demand (SVOD) platforms or other over-the-top services (OTT), the question is becoming less about what to watch and instead about where to find it.
Some choices are obvious, brought to you by established major media brands and are already very much a part of pop culture vernacular. Sony Crackle is where to find new shows like its serialized adaptation of the Guy Ritchie movie Snatch starring Rupert Grint (the Harry Potter franchise's Ron Weasley) and classics from its library like Seinfeld and movies like Adaptation and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Facebook Watch is relatively new to the original content game, but offers dramas like Sacred Lies and the well-received Elizabeth Olsen–Kelly Marie Tran series Sorry for Your Loss.
And there's more to come. Disney will launch its own streaming site in November. Dubbed Disney+, it will be a repository for its big-budget films, as well as a place to fit exclusive-to-it movies and shows (including several from the Marvel Cinematic Universe).
DC Universe launched last year and is home to favorites like the original Superman movies and shows like a new take on Titans. Apple's embracive upcoming programming slate for Apple TV+ includes partnerships with both Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg. And, after licking its wounds from failures like Seeso, NBCUniversal was rumored to be have considered a streaming service that would pay you to watch it. The NBC app, where you can watch reruns of Heroes and Saved by the Bell as well as current shows like This Is Us, already exists.
(Rotten Tomatoes is owned by Fandango, a division of NBCUniversal that includes film and television on-demand streaming service FandangoNow.)
Some of the biggest media brands also offer demographic-focused streaming services, including live sports site ESPN+, upcoming opinion site Fox Nation, Viacom's kid-focused Noggin, and, in addition to its new classic movie service (see below), WarnerMedia's upcoming streaming service is said to focus on premium TV like HBO.
There are also more all-encompassing options like Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, and Pluto TV (the latter of which has expertly curated channels, such as Adam Carolla's new one for car buffs called Chassy). And, in perhaps the ultimate example of clearing the clutter, the service VRV will bundle your select streaming video on demand and fandom content. (One of the service's most recent developments is the addition of NickSplat, a channel featuring Nickelodeon kids' content from the 1990s, including AAAHH!!! Real Monsters, CatDog, Rocko's Modern Life, and The Wild Thornberrys).
"With SVOD, if you look at the failures, these are things that are pitched at mainstream, big-stream audience [like Seeso or Verizon's go90], and they just couldn't make that work," says Todd Spangler, Variety's New York–based digital editor. "On the nichier side of things … I think those are genuine, niche genre categories that can support a smaller subscription base and be profitable. They're not going to be Netflix, but —"
What kinds of niche content options are we talking about, exactly? We've rounded up some examples of the diverse specialty streaming sites available. Not specific enough? You can always watch that one Roku channel that only airs episodes of the old game show What's My Line?
This SVOD service, which launched in 2017 as a partnership between BBC and ITV, is a speedy fix to anyone craving classic British programming. "What sets us apart from all the others is our ability to present many of these shows within hours of their U.K. premiere," BritBox North America president Soumya Sriraman told journalists at the winter 2018 TCA press tour. Highlights include Are You Being Served? and Fawlty Towers (100% Tomatometer), as well as newer titles like NW. Based on Zadie Smith's award-winning novel, this all-too-topical drama explores issues like race and class and starred Luther's Nikki Amuka-Bird and Black Mirror's Phoebe Fox.
Launched in 2006, this streaming favorite is synonymous with anime and anime-related products like manga, TV dramas, and music. Still, given the plethora of options available from those markets, Crunchyroll head of business operations Brady McCollum tells Rotten Tomatoes that it becomes a "mix of art and science" to find which programs best fit their TV options. While some titles on the site are expected hits — Dragon Ball Super, Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia — the fans have been known to surprise them (recent examples include Darling in the Franxx and Megalobox). McCollum says the team also "see(s) a bright future in creating originals for our passionate community to come together through extraordinary content" and will soon launch Crunchyroll's first original series: High Guardian Spice, which is about four girls who learn about friendship and allegiances while studying sorcery and battles.
One of many over-the-top platforms to celebrate all things Bollywood films and other regional programming, Eros grew out of film production company Eros International and, according to its homepage, boasts "100 million registered users and 7.9 million paying subscribers." It also has a lengthy list of television shows and original programs, including sudsy dramas like Kuch Na Kaho, a love story about a couple whose families try to tear them apart.
This Philadelphia-based streaming service is geared toward gay and bisexual men. And while it has tons of art house flicks of pretty much any genre that celebrates or highlights characters who happen to be gay, its television vertical is more about original programming with a dose of name brands like the original Queer as Folk. "When we do our original content, we steer toward episodic because it's more interesting and it keeps customers attached to the site longer," says Dekkoo COO Brian Sokel, adding that this also came from necessity as not a lot of TV feature diverse gay characters. "What we find from subscribers is they are looking for content that's for a gay audience … but they want to be able to see content that's not about a coming out story; it's just gay characters in larger stories." Original series include the dating competition series Love Is Blind and the 20-something comedy I'm Fine.
Launching as a partnership between South Korea's three major networks, the Los Angeles–based Kocowa offers a way for those outside of that country to catch its most popular programming just a few hours after they first air. KunHee Park, the CEO of parent company Korea Content Platform has said that the majority of its users are young, female, and not Asian. Popular programming include variety shows like Running Man and dramas like Wok of Love. Kocowa also has licensing deals with similar services, like the Asian TV powerhouse Viki.
Kevin Hart and studio Lionsgate launched this OTT streaming service in 2017 as a way to showcase content that the comedian endorses and curates. (This is kind of Hart's thing; he also hosts Comedy Central's Kevin Hart Presents: The Next Level, which spotlights up-and-coming talent.) Among the programs on LOL are the hidden-camera show Lyft Legend, where Hart himself goes undercover as a rideshare driver. There are also comedy specials from Matt Ingebretson, Raul Sanchez, and more.
Nosey may not be the place to find the most high-brow and intellectually stimulating programming, but have we got a service for those who like to watch hour after hour of men sweating it out over paternity tests. This free app, which is available on the likes of Roku and Google Play, is a carefully curated list of programming like Maury Povich, Jerry Springer — so pretty much every program that would make your family seem like one in Andy Griffith.
An OTT service that's willing to bet big on the niche factor? Sam Simmons, VP of content for Poker Central, which oversees PokerGo, says the goal of his service is to "combine the existing television success of longstanding programs like the World Series of Poker with world-exclusive original programming, in order to create a year-round entertainment destination for the game that excites both the most passionate fans and casual enthusiasts." This means they offer over 100 days of live poker coverage as well as original series like Hand Histories, a new series that looks at real-life gamblers and their stories.
Alia J. Daniels and Chris Rodriguez, two of Revry's founders, tell Rotten Tomatoes that the goal of their LGBTQ-themed streaming service is to be as inclusive as possible. This isn't just in regards to gender and sexuality; Revry also strives to highlight racial and ethnic diversity. "I think a driving force behind our programming is reflecting the community as we are as opposed to what's trendy or what big-wig execs think is marketable," Rodriguez says, adding that this means they have to have original series because they learned "early on" that options from mainstream outlets were limiting. And while they do have name-recognizable content like the original Queer as Folk and Gay of Thrones, the popular Funny or Die webseries from Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness, Rodriguez and Daniels point to other titles in their catalogue like the drag-themed docu-series, Queens of Kings, and Before I Got Famous. That web series stars Xingcheng You, a Chinese immigrant who is both looking for love and his big break in Hollywood, and focuses on stereotypes that still exist in the gay dating culture.
Rooster Teeth was launched in 2003 by some friends who wanted to be the next Quentin Tarantino or Kevin Smith but couldn't get into festivals. Co-founder Bernie Burns told journalists at the summer 2018 Television Critics Association press tour that their service took off when "we discovered and pioneered a method of animation where we could use the 3D gaming engines in popular video games to make animation." This led to what he touts as the longest-running digital series ever, the military-themed sci-fi comedy Red vs. Blue. They also have reality series, live-action shorts, and more.
Who needs reboots when you can have the classics? The TV vertical of this digitized tribute to old-school charm has everything from cult classics like Mystery Science Theater 3000 (85% Tomatometer) to relics from the years of rabbit ears like Father Knows Best and Car 54, Where Are You?. There's also original programming like Why We Love It, a web series that strives to justify users' love for programming of acquired taste like Rowan Atkinson's Mr. Bean and the Nicolas Cage–Jennifer Beals campfest Vampire's Kiss (61% TM). Gene Pao, Shout! Factory's senior vice president of digital media, says that, "over the years … we've found that viewers are particularly interested in 'modernized nostalgia' — cult and classic TV and film that shape today's pop culture." Shout! plays into this with marathon viewings like MST3K Turkey Day on Thanksgiving, during which Pao says "viewers can interact with each other via chat."
This AMC-owned streaming service celebrates the worlds of gore and supernatural. And while it doesn't have its parent company's juggernaut, The Walking Dead, its TV section does live up to its promise of offering "a constant stream of killer content." Titles include Nick Antosca and Max Landis' nightmarish Syfy series, Channel Zero (89% Tomatometer), and the documentary series Robert Kirkman's Secret History of Comics as well as original programming like its anthology, Neil Gaiman's Likely Stories, and a lot more to come (they are partnering with TWD's Greg Nicotero on a revamp of the classic Creepshow). Shudder general manager Craig Engler says "we can do shows that other people can't" because they aren't as beholden to ratings (although he says that the Channel Zero debut "was the most-watched series in the history of Shudder"). They're also willing to share. Shudder and sister service Sundance Now (see below) recently announced the joint acquisition of the Matthew Goode–Teresa Palmer series, A Discovery of Witches.
A SVOD companion to SundanceTV, general manager Jan Diedrichsen told journalists at the winter 2018 TCA press tour that the goal of both is to find a way to "best serve fans of premium indie content in a deeper way." This service is the home for original programming like This Close (100% Tomatometer), a rom-com of sorts about two best friends and their relationship woes that's based on series of shorts from the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. There are also series that originated on its linear channel counterpart, like the Joanne Froggatt–Ioan Gruffudd thriller Liar (62% Tomatometer) and other fine options.
Grab the macarons and red wine! This Paris-based network offers a way to watch popular French series with the aid of subtitles (and without the need of a passport). Streaming subscriptions are available through Sling's French TV packages, and programs include the drama Cut!, which captivated audiences when it premiered in 2013 thanks to its use of second-screen viewing to further the story, and the female-friendly police drama Les Dames.
Despite its title, UMC actually has a rather robust TV section as well. These include episodes of WE tv's long-running reality series, Braxton Family Values. Original series include the soap opera The Rich and the Ruthless, directed by Young and the Restless alum Victoria Rowell, and drama 5th Ward, which is based on director Greg Carter's similarly named movie. "We pay very close attention to viewership trends and feedback from our subscribers to understand what's working and what's not and use that as a guide for greenlight decisions on any new or classic series," UMC General Manager Sylvia George says, adding that their primary target audience is black women. "At a high level, the type of programming that resonates with UMC viewers ranges from romantic dramas and comedies to female-driven stories to series that push the envelope in a compelling and relatable way."
After the death of FilmStruck, several other streaming options clamored to become the rightful heir to the cinephile throne; the Criterion Collection's recently launched streaming component is quickly rising up that rank. In addition to celebrating classic and cult cinema from around the world, the channel also has special features like behind-the-scenes footage and a guest programmer series. It will also be available through WarnerMedia's upcoming streaming service.
If Criterion isn't to your liking, other streamers that concentrate on classic and/or under-the-radar cinema include Tribeca Shortlist, SnagFilms, Open Culture and — as if its name didn't make things obvious already — Classic Cinema Online. Services like Kanopy and Hoopla have similar offerings and work in conjunction with local libraries.
Lots of theater fans would like to give regular regards to Broadway, but not all of them can take regular pilgrimages to New York City (or afford the ticket prices once they're there). In those instances, there's BroadwayHD. The service, which Tony Award-winning producers Stewart F. Lane and Bonnie Comley founded in 2015, offers full-length stage plays and musicals at legal and considerably much better quality than those grainy videos you can find on YouTube. Productions have included musicals like She Loves Me and 42nd Street as well as renditions of Shakespeare and productions of Cirque du Soleil.
Sometimes you need to see some foxy ladies in tight pants kicking perps to the curb. And, for that, Brown Sugar offers Blaxploitation classics like Cleopatra Jones and Coffy (plus, send-ups of the horror genre like Blacula). But there are also more recent and — dare we say — more wholesome offerings too, like the Al Green concert Everything's Gonna Be All Right and the family-friendly A Baby for Christmas.
There's more to documentaries than Netflix's latest true-crime obsession or brilliantly shot nature footage narrated by David Attenborough. This SVOD option is a warehouse of some thought-provoking visual storytelling from around the world that covers everything from Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, a look at the legacy of the controversial yet influential comedian, to a nearly three-minute short on the privilege of having a toilet. For similar options, perhaps with more of a science bent, there's CuriosityStream.
Sometimes you may want a cup of hot chocolate and the chance to see perfectly lit people in winter wonderlands — even if it's July. The Hallmark Movies Now option has an assortment of its holiday-themed classics as well as movies about weddings, beach-side flings, and other scenarios that result in emotionally charged embraces. There are television series and specials that include adaptation of biblical stories and classic novels. If HMN options feel too mainstream, there are also OTTs that specialize in Christian-themed programming like Pure Flix and Dove Channel (that would be a reference to the bird, not to shampoo and body wash).
Described as "the sound of mayhem, of flying fists and roundhouse kicks" on its website, this service — which is available for a fee as an add-on to Amazon and though Roku and other devices — is a warehouse of martial arts favorites. And that definition is a loose one. The service also has horror films, thrillers, period pieces, and more that also happen to showcase people who can destroy you while barely breaking a sweat.
Concerts are great ways to celebrate your favorite artists with peers who appreciate them as much as you do. They're also loud, expensive and usually hassles to get to. For those who can't (or won't) handle all that grunt work, there's Qello. This service lets you watch concerts and documentary footage on demand, be it Paul McCartney or Beyoncé. But its greatest asset might be that it helps cure a nostalgic hunger for artists whom we are no longer able to watch perform, such as Tom Petty or David Bowie.

With the water calm and the weather bright, sunny but decidedly nippy, a total of 82 hardy souls plunged into the water at Carnlough Harbour.
Hundreds of spectators were in attendance to watch the swimmers and keeping a watchful eye on everyone were members of the Larne Branch of the Saint John Ambulance.
With everyone back on terra firma and changed the swimmers and supporters their way to the Bridge Inn for food and refreshmets prior to the social festivities taking place.
Chairman of the Association Billy McIlroy said it was very pleasing to see so many swimmers and in particular youngsters on this the 45th year of the Carnlough event.
Mementoes and certificates were then presented to the swimmers by Mrs Joan Linton and daughter Ray.
Last year the swim raised the magnificent sum of £4705 and this year £3275 was lifted on the day thanks to the generous sponsorship from the general public.
The social festivities which went down a treat then got off to a good start with Bert Kernohan carrying out the duties of Compere and the Music being supplied by Aidan Canning.
Bert organised the Irish dancing and quite a number of ladies were soon strutting their stuff namely - Claire Garrett, Helen Ross, Martha Lorimer, Roisin O'Neil, Rosalind Ross-Logan, Shawna Kearney, Claire Falls, Margaret Kearney, Audrey Moss and the men Bert Kernohan, Andrew Kernohan and Geoff Bell.
The choir challenge followed and Billy McIlroy had the onerous task of being judge. He decided 'by the narrowest of margins' that the men had just squeaked past the ladies who, no doubt, will be back next year to re-claim the Crown.
After a few hours of entertainment and as the evening drew to a close Billy paid very special thanks to the following people:
John and Eileen Davidson of the Bridge Inn Carnlough and their Staff for their courteous service and use of the facilities; Aidan Canning who provided the music; James Henry and Staff Broughshane Street Ballymena who provided the transport and chaperoned the Swimmers from the Seven Towers Leisure Centre Ballymena to Carnlough; Larne branch of the Saint John's Ambulance for their Attendance at the Swim; Robert McHenry and the Carnlough Rowing Club for the use of the Boathouse; Mr Paul McWilliams Proprietor of Presentations of Ballymena who supplied the Swimmers' Mementoes; Ballymena Business Equipment. Larne Street Ballymena who supplied the Certificates; Pam and Sabrina Donnell for the Harbour Collection which raised £362.00; Sabrina, Pam and Darren Donnell who organised the Raffle, and Mrs Joan Linton and Friends who donated prizes which raised £258.00.
Billy also thanked Mr. Michael "Spud" Murphy who donated a bottle of vodka for nearest the bottle which raised £74 in fifteen minutes.
Next year will be the 46th Anniversary of the event which was started off by the late John McNeil, Bill Bell, Danny Wylie and Aidan Metrusty.

One of the "tourist attractions" in the historic Gastown district of Vancouver is a steam clock that literally lets off some steam every 15 minutes or so. Lest you be misled that it is some antique from a bygone era, it was actually made in 1977, well after I was born and in the heyday of disco music, when the district was spruced up for locals and tourists alike… I happened to be right under it when it let off some steam so I can claim to at least have seen that event, but Mrs. MM was inside a t-shirt shop buying a nightshirt or other doodad. What was more impressive than the steam clock to me where the fantastic hanging plant baskets attached to each of the iron street lamps on the cobblestoned streets…
…they added such a welcome burst of life and color to the area…
…and they appeared to be so healthy and lush. I am not sure if it is the city or neighborhood association that springs for the cost of these floral displays, but they were beautiful. You also saw these in other parts of Vancouver, some obviously paid for by the businesses nearby and they were a really nice touch.
Those flower pots all over Vancouver are beautiful. The nicest ones I saw were near Canada Place. Sana we have something similar to spruce up our city.
Oct 21, 2011 | 8:44 am
Yes, MM…they are well taken cared of. Where we live, there is a City truck or pick up with a huge drum full of water and a city employee waters them using a telescopic water gun. Since the City waters them, I can only assume that Parks and Recreation dept of where we live takes care of the cost…or maybe included in our taxes!
Oct 21, 2011 | 9:07 am
the first picture was just ridiculously beautiful. i would never have thought that something that beautiful could be seen outside a theme park or a home. really love your features of places abroad MM :)
Oct 21, 2011 | 9:08 am
@MM, as always beautiful shots.
@betty q, if our city hall in Manila could do that great a job taking care of its streets I wouldn't mind the taxes.
Oct 21, 2011 | 9:45 am
It's funny, we were just there last night touring my out-of-town sister. Even after having lived in Vancouver for so many years I never knew that the clock is only 33 yrs old. I've been misleading all of our visitors through the years. LOL. Thanks for the revelation Mr MM.
Oct 21, 2011 | 9:50 am
Potatokorner…other than the flowers or hanging baskets in the summer, the City also has these very colorful banners (which I would like to get my hands on) the rest of the year. I have always wondered what they do with them. I think they change them quarterly.
Then sometime between 2am and 4 am, the sweeping truck goes by, cleans and flushes the streets with water.
I know, MM….what am I doing up at 4am to notice these things?!? What can I say…I am an early bird like you!
Oct 21, 2011 | 11:16 am
The plants are nice! The banners thouhg BettQ are done in most big cities like Madrid, SF and even San Jose to announce whatever big is going on in the city. They just look good, especially if there's a li'l wind.
But good luck doing the plant thing in Manila!
Oct 22, 2011 | 1:47 am
Thanks MM for more info re Vancouver. I was impressed with the city. Very green, clean, active & tourist friendly. Most (if not all) taxis are hybrids. We were told that the city will not renew the taxi company's licenses unless they switch to hybrids. We enjoyed our visit. Thanks betty q for the info re the watering system for the hanging plants. I was wondering about that myself.
Oct 22, 2011 | 12:50 pm
How come they can do such a beautiful work in Canada and we just let local governments in Manila put up cheap lamp posts that breaks apart after a couple of months? Does anyone else hate the lamp posts along Roxas Blvd? I don't know who designs them but those are ugly and obviously of low quality.
Oct 22, 2011 | 2:08 pm
Looks like Kitano-cho in Kobe in the spring time.
Oct 22, 2011 | 10:25 pm
Yes…Vancouver is beautiful…it's bettyq territory…tee hee….
Oct 23, 2011 | 11:18 am
Those flower pots are all over Canada and they are indeed beautiful! Even in our small obscure town here in western Manitoba, we have lush hanging flower pots which are being taken cared of by our town.
Oct 23, 2011 | 12:25 pm
Talking about hanging baskets, here in Ferndale and Lynden, they have those beautiful, humongous hanging baskets on their lamp posts that lined the city streets. And, yes, city parks and recreation takes care of them. Have seen the flowers watered twice a day in the hot summer months, although we did not get that hot this year.
@bettyq, would love to hook up with you and tweak my ensaymada recipe. Have to start my xmas baking soon.
Oct 25, 2011 | 1:32 pm
I hate bursting bubbles but here goes….the steam clock is powered by electricity. It's all a sham for the sake of tourism. :-)
Oct 25, 2011 | 3:28 pm
fmed, I did some research on it and I would say it's a hybrid steam/electric clock. The main engine that operates the clock is run by steam. The other features are run by electric motors.
From Wikipedia:
Engine. The steam engine is a Stuart #4 single expansion double acting 1″ piston engine purchased at the Stuart Turner Limited plant at Henley-on-Thames, England. (Engines of this size are typically employed by hobbyists for large model boat propulsion.) It is supplied with low pressure steam — engine inlet pressure is 17 psi (120 kPa) — from a centralized steam heating system that serves a portion of downtown Vancouver. The engine, rotating at only a few hundred revolutions per minute, drives a reduction gear train. The gear train drives an ascending chain lift to lift ball weights to a top track from which they load onto a drive chain providing the driving force to the clock while the ball weights descend.
Electric motors. The clock uses three electric motors. First, a small gear motor drives the tune playing machine. It rotates a drum with pins that play the Westminster chimes on micro switches which operate the steam whistle solenoid valves. Second, a small fan motor blows out hot air from the roof vent on top of the clock. Third, a small fan motor pulls warm air down to the base to provide air circulation.

Rhino horn more expensive than gold in South AfricaJanuary 17th, 2011 - 10:12 am ICT by IANS
Johannesburg, Jan 17 (IANS) The price of a horn of an African rhino has increased to 400,000 rand ($59,000) per kg, making it far more expensive than gold, the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) reported.Rhino poaching increased in South Africa in 2010, with 330 rhinos shot dead for their horns in wildlife parks around the country, compared to 122 in 2009, according to Xinhua.
The SABC quoted the International Rhino Foundation as saying that demand for rhino horns has caused its price to escalate.
It said rhino poaching cost the country at least 250 million rand ($38 million) in 2010.
Pelham Jones of the South African Rhino Owners' Association said private game owners are losing their confidence in rhinos as an investment because of the high risk of poaching and the huge cost of protecting the animals.
Recently, five suspected poachers were shot in the Kruger National Park Jan 11 and Jan 12 during a crackdown on criminal gangs smuggling rhino horns.

Midogen Reviews: – Say No to Age This sentence seems confusing like how can you say No to age? There is a deep answer for this question that you are going to read below. Aging is a factor which cannot be denied because it is the rule of nature every person how has come into being will get older day by day and will die one day. We cannot fight with the nature to break the rules but there is a tribe in the world in which people of the 21st century still live for one hundred and twenty years almost because of their diet. So if we cannot change the nature then we can change ourselves from getting aged and look older with a lot of wrinkles at the face and no teeth in the mouth with a thick lens on eyes and a stick in hand to give us help to walk. Is it life?
No! It is not a life. By changing our habits we can make ourselves to live a healthy and long life despite the factor that we do not about our destiny that when will we die. Only one thing we should keep in mind is that we have to live a long and healthy life of not for ourselves then for our loved ones. We can come up to the mark of a healthy life by adopting healthy habits of healthy intakes. Midogen is a formula for you which can stop your growing age and can make you young once again as you always wished for. It will keep you fit and healthy to look and feel like a young person.
What makes you older before age?
- Alcohol Consumption
There are many bad habits which are in the nature of human but to make control on them is your duty. Bad habits are of many kinds as youngsters do or even the mature people are being used to it. Consuming alcohol is one of those bad habits as the consumption of alcohol reduces the working efficiency of your body. It makes your system weak and it gives rise to many diseases in your body. Alcohol makes you lose your senses and it increases the chance of getting a fatal sickness. Alcohol causes following diseases:
- Anemia
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Dementia
- Cirrhosis
- Depression
- Seizures
- Gout
- Nerve damage
- High blood pressure
- Infectious disease
There are many other diseases that we get by the consumption of alcohol. So first of all if you are alcoholic then stop taking alcohol. Take Midogen and complete all the requirements of your body. Do not be cruel to yourself and to your health.
- Stress
It is the simplest form of your health destruction which you do not take care of and it eats you gradually and takes you to the point of death because of its control on your brain nerves. Stress is a fatal kind of hidden disease inside your brain which slowdowns your enthusiasm and potential day by day. You lose your taste for life and consequently you come to the stage where you start getting older as stress turns your black hair to white that is a sign to look aged. Stress leads to:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Asthma
- Arthritis
- Headache
- High blood pressure
- Skin problems
- Diabetes
Only a hidden thing which controls your mind because you give it that control can lead to this list of diseases and your whole life gets wasted in curing all these diseases while you do not even think about the reason that what made them attack me. Midogen will keep your mind away from stress and you will feel fresh and easy every time which can never make you older or to look aged.
- Improper Intake of Food
Nowadays, food has become only a source of living because a human has become a machine who need to take something to work more. But, actually, people are not getting the reality that food matters a lot for them to live more and healthier. In the case of making foods more delicious people are forgetting that they are making their foods less healthy than before to keep them young and healthy. People who take fresh foods are evergreen healthy and young but the youngsters or the people of the 21st century are burger people who want and use to live on fast foods and they do not even know that what kind of nutrition the vegetables and green vegetables consist of. Our ancestors were lucky as they chose a better lifestyle to live a better age of their life. They used to run their farms and to grow fresh vegetables and then to eat them.
No doubt we are living a modern life but not a healthy one and I think a healthy life prices more than a modern life because modernism cannot keep you younger because modern people consume alcohol and health do not allow doing so. Midogen consists of many nutrition in it which can fulfill all the requirements of your body plus it will manage all the basic needs of your body that are needed to keep and maintain you as a young person.
- Bad Sleeping Habits
A hard working person wakes up early in the morning and sleeps late at night but a healthy person manages his routine like somehow he could complete the needs of his eyes and body to rest. If you really think that you are a machine and not a person then you should remember that a machine needs energy and charge and as a human being to get charged and energized method is to give some rest to yourself. When people do not give proper rest to their body system then I start getting tired as a result it becomes useless unless and until you give it some rest. Good sleeping habit is a God gifted thing but you should develop it to be a young person for always. Midogen will help you to keep your sleeping habits better to best. It will calm up your mind anyhow and you will feel relaxed. Less sleeping habits lead to growing older and to get inactive in all the activities of life.
- Smoke and Pollution
The impure environment also leads to a growing age and unhealthy life.Pollution decreases the healthy nature of yours and makes your body system polluted and unhealthy. It causes the nose allergies, cancer, bad digestive conditions and many more health related problems can occur. These problems can cause fatal diseases to the human health. Pollution is a problem which happens because of many reasons for example bad environment, smoke due to vehicles and many other basic reasons. We cannot do anything regarding such problems through any intake but we can keep our environment clean by taking care of throwing the wastes and wrappers in the baskets. By checking our vehicles whether if they throw smoke then we should repair them to get rid of such problems.
- Hormonal Secretions
Aging has a great relation with hormonal secretions as making to the body to react to wrong times in a negative way leads a reason to aging. When people do not take control of their emotions and as a result, they face the hormonal secretion it directly affects the body in the most negative way. Midogen will keep you away from such factors of aging and you will not face any kind of disease or problem in your life as result you will remain young throughout your life.
