text: John Lydon Gets CorruptBy Skizz CyzykJohn Lydon Gets Corrupt By Skizz Cyzyk. In the early '80s I was a teenage punk rocker who could not get enough of the Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd. (PiL), and especially the front man for both groups, In the early '80s I was a teenage punk rocker who could not get enough of the Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd. (PiL), and especially the front man for both groups, John LydonAKA Johnny Rotten. I was a completist when it came to collecting records that Lydon appeared on. I bought magazines just to read interviews with him. I had a bootleg VHS tape of the 1980 Sex Pistols's movie, The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle (with Japanese subtitles), which I watched once or twice a week. And I was not alone. Many of my friends were also Lydon fanatics (as were plenty of other alienated youth scattered all over the country). We knew about when PiL was on American Bandstand and Tom Snyder's show. We knew when the next record was due to be released in the States, or when we could expect to start finding import-only releases in stores. We knew about the Ritz show in NY, where the band caused a riot by performing behind a screen while their records were pumped through the sound system. We knew when PiL was on tour and coming to our area, and it was always a not-to-be-missed event for us. What we didn't know, however, was that, during that time, our hero had spent some time starring in a movie.Somehow, that news never got around to us. In fact, to this day, I am still able to break the news to former and current Lydon fans who know nothing about it.It was around 1989 when I was looking through the TV listings, and noticed that a film called Corrupt (1983) was going to be airing on late night television. What caught my attention was the name, "John Lydon," listed in the cast. "It couldn't be the same John Lydon," I thought, "My friends and I would have known if he'd made a movie." Just in case, I stayed up and watched Corrupt while also recording it onto VHS. Several minutes into the film, a corrupt cop, played by Harvey Keitel, looks out a taxi window. The camera pans over to the car next to the taxi. There, peering out of the other car's window is a very awkward-looking John Lydon. My jaw hit the floor. For the next hour and a half, I sat in amazement, watching John Lydon portray a twisted masochist playing mind games with Keitel's character (at the time, Harvey Keitel was not yet a familiar name or face to me, despite having already been in a lot of films I liked). Where did this movie come from?! How did I not know it existed?!It turns out the movie was shot in Italy in 1981 and released in 1983, at the height of my Lydon fandom. In the UK, the film was released with the title The Order of Death, the same title as the Hugh Fleetwood novel it's based on. Throughout Europe, the film was called Cop Killer or Copkiller while, in the U.S., it was called Corrupt. It has subsequently been released on VHS or DVD under all three of those names, plus Cop Killers, Bad Cop Chronicles, Corrupt Lieutenant and Bad Lieutenant 2: Corrupt. I have not been able to find the reason for all the different titles, other than Lieutenant titles being attempts to cash in on Harvey Keitel's success in Bad Lieutenant (1992). For purposes of this article, I will simply refer to the film as Corrupt, the title I first heard attributed to it.The film takes place in New York City at a time when a serial killer is targeting corrupt members of the NYPD. Frank O'Connor (Harvey Keitel) and Bob Carvo (Leonard Mann) are corrupt cops who have put their dirty money together to buy a fancy (though mostly empty) secret apartment. Alone one night, O'Connor answers the door to find Leo Smith (John Lydon), a weirdo claiming to know all about O'Connor, and also claiming to be the cop killer that has been terrorizing the police force. O'Connor doesn't believe Smith, and realizes that arresting him would lead to too many of his own secrets being exposed so, to be safe, O'Connor beats Smith and holds him captive. What follows is a series of suspenseful cat-and-mouse mind games between the two men, which escalates when Carvo stumbles upon O'Connor's secret prisoner. I don't want to give away the ending, or even tell whether or not Smith is or isn't the cop killer. There is a lot more to the story which is fun to watch unfold while seeing Lydon's strong performance.Corrupt was directed by award-winning Italian director Roberto Faenza, who co-wrote the screenplay along with Ennio de Concini and Order of Deathwriter Hugh Fleetwood. The film is short on characters. Besides Keitel and Lydon, Nicole Garcia and Leonard Mann round out the small cast. PiL were supposed to provide the soundtrack to the film, and began working on it, but the tracks were taken by soon-to-be-former-member Keith Levine, and released as Commercial Zone without the rest of PiL's consent. Meanwhile, PiL rerecorded some of the tracks, though rather than end up in Corrupt, those tracks went to PiL's album This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get, including the track "The Order of Death." Lydon has said in interviews that the film's producers decided against using t he PiL soundtrack. Famed composer Ennio Morricone ended up providing the film's musical score.According to Wikipedia, Corrupt has fallen into public domain, with no one owning the film. That might explain all the different titles, since companies that take advantage of public domain material are able to change titles and packaging any way they feel will make the most the money. It also explains the poor quality of many of the releases. If you can find a high quality, complete copy of Corrupt, consider yourself lucky. The copy I recently tracked down for researching this article was a DVD that looked as though it had been mastered from a VHS tape that had been recorded off a television broadcast. Portions of the dialogue were silenced (instead of bleeped out), some scenes ended abruptly, and there were plenty of analogue tape glitches. The running time of the DVD was a lot shorter than the running time posted on the box, so the possibility is strong that my copy is missing some scenes.Unfortunately, the film has not held up well, which could very well have something to do with the quality of the DVD that I watched, or it could be that very dated, very low budget suspense thrillers from the early '80s leave a lot to be desired. I made the mistake of reading Hugh Fleetwood's book right before re-watching the film for the first time in over twenty years. I worried the film only made sense to me because the book had just explained everything to me so clearly, forgetting that the film made perfect sense to me when I first watched it in 1989. The real reason to watch Corrupt is Lydon, both for the novelty that he starred in a film at that time, and for his portrayal of a truly unique character. Considering how enjoyable Lydon is onscreen, one wonders why Corrupt is his only starring role as an actor? Back to Issue 18

Your Pet's Surgery
Surgery at Hill Country Animal Hospital
Whether performing a routine surgery or an emergency procedure, you can have confidence Dr. Holcomb and the entire staff at Hill Country Animal Hospital will work hard to ensure each procedure is thorough, done with the utmost expertise, and is as stress-free as possible for you and your pet.
At Hill Country Animal Hospital we fully understand the decision to allow your pet to undergo surgery is never easy. To that end, we're happy to answer any questions regarding your pet's surgery. In fact, a pre-surgical consultation is an essential part of the process. Our medical staff is also happy to provide information on postoperative care to ensure a rapid return to your pet's happy, healthy self.
Our Facilities
Hill Country Animal Hospital's state-of-the-art surgical facility ensures procedures are as safe and efficient as possible. Veterinary technology is rapidly advancing. These advancements, combined with our expertise, greatly reduce the risk for complications and allow us to perform surgical procedures quickly and accurately.
Pre-Surgery Exam
Before your pet undergoes any surgical procedure, a thorough examination takes place. This exam includes a pre-surgical blood screen, which, along with your pet's anesthetic history, breed, preexisting conditions and age, will be used to determine a unique anesthesia protocol. These tests have the added benefit of establishing a baseline for the comparison of future blood tests, should your pet require any.
For most surgical procedures, anesthesia is required. While under anesthesia, your pet is continuously monitored by our staff and specialized anesthesia monitoring technology. Your pet's blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature and oxygen level are all tracked during surgery. We also use a temperature-controlled operating table to assist in maintaining a constant body temperature during the procedure.
Pain Management
Just as with humans, pain has many negative effects on pets that go beyond physical discomfort. Pain after surgery can slow healing, worsen diseases like arthritis, and, because our companions don't understand why they are experiencing pain, pain can cause behavioral issues and interfere with the bond between you and your pet.
To minimize your pet's discomfort, we typically use a combination of local anesthetics, NSAIDs, and narcotic pain relievers. The exact protocol is tailored to each animal, and depends on factors determined by the pre-surgery exam and during the procedure.
Postoperative Care
The amount of time your pet will need to monitored after surgery varies. In some cases, animals will need to be monitored overnight; in others they can be sent home the same day. When your pet is discharged we will provide you with information on proper home care after surgery. Your pet will often be prescribed medication; in this case, we will explain how and when to administer it. We will also be available to answer questions after your pet arrives home. Contact us at (512) 329-5177 with any questions or concerns following surgery and we will be more than happy to help you.

How to install laminate flooring
February 1, 2013
Looking to install a laminate flooring on your own? Follow these eight simple steps.
- Get your laminate, prepare it for installation – Purchase about 10 percent more laminate flooring than needed because you'll waste some just from cutting the pieces out. 48-72 hours before installation, you should stack the laminate flooring in your home flat on the floor. This will allow it to become assimilated to the temperature and humidity in your home to prevent mistakes.
- Clean and prepare your floor – You should clean the subfloor to remove dirt and debris. We have found nails from previous installations underneath the old lamination before. Make sure you remove all base molding (if you have any).
- Install the Vapor Barrier – Lay down the vapor barrier a row at a time. Read the instructions about whether or not you need to overlap the vapor barrier and some need to go up against each other.
- Trim the door jambs – make sure the new flooring is able to slide underneath the door jambs.
- Install first row of laminate – Lay the planks parallel to the longest wall. Install a 1/2″ spacer against the wall between the laminate so the floor is able to expand or contract without warping or buckling. The base molding will cover these spacers eventually. Place the spacers every foot or so along the wall.
- Install the rest of the flooring – Make sure the pieces of flooring fit together, leaving no gaps. The subsequent rows should have staggered joints to make sure the planks are not uniform (which can make them weaker, and look weird).
- Install the last plank – You will need to trim the last plank to have it fit. Measure the gap between the last plank and the wall. Trace the amount needed to be removed from the last plank to make a cut.
- Install the thresholds and base molding – Install thresholds where the end of the flooring meets doors. Remove the spacers from against the walls and install base moldings to cover up the gaps left for expansion.

Christmas decoration ideas for your front porch
December 10, 2012
Winter time provides great opportunities to give your house a new look. If you are hosting a party, you have the chance to impress your guests as they walk up to your door. From lights to wreaths, here are some of our favorite decoration tips for your front porch:
- Lights – Everyone's favorite winter decoration is lights. You are sure to see houses decked in lights as you drive through your neighborhood. Wrapping them around trees, railings, windows and other fixtures around your house provides a great festive look. Check out our previous blog on Christmas lights for your home.
- Evergreens -Wreaths, garlands and Christmas trees. Evergreen provides the green during the white-out of winter. Wreaths are perfect for your front door. Garlands are perfect for wrapping around posts and railings. It is always nice to see a Christmas tree through the window of a house, as well.
- Poinsettia – Besides evergreen, poinsettias are the signature plant of Christmas time. It is best to keep the real poinsettias inside the home as they will not be able to handle the extreme cold temperatures. However, you can add fake poinsettias to your front porch decorations for an extra bit of color.
- Doormats – The doormats' main use is to keep your guests from dragging in snow and dirt but it is also great to add a bit of decoration to your front porch!
- Candles – If you are planning on having guests over, lighting candles that have protection from the wind are a perfect addition to your front porch. Be careful that they are out of the way of dry evergreen!

Do-It-Yourself: Christmas Lights
November 16, 2012
One of the signature scenes of Winter are neighborhood full of houses that are lit up by Christmas lights. If you just became a homeowner or you had never thought about hanging lights before, it might be somewhat intimidating about the thought of hanging lights from your house. However, it is not as difficult as you might think.
Here are some tips to help you plan out your own Winter Wonderland:
- Evaluate your house – Go outside and analyze your house. Do you have a lot of trees or bushes around the house? Do you have a lot of stairs and railings? Can you easily access your roof or do you have a cantilever or overhang that could provide a place to hang lights without going on the roof? Also, you should evaluate your outdoor electricity access. You do not want to run a cord from inside to outside.
- Budget – If this is your first time ever hanging lights, you should consider making a budget so you do not overspend. Remember, these lights can be used for more than one winter. You can always buy more next year.
- Proper equipment– There are certain pieces of equipment that will help keep your house safe in case of an accident. An exterior Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a safety feature which will automatically shut off electricity if there is an electrical surge or short circuit. use 12-gage or 14-gage exterior extension cords with a ground (these have three prongs). Getting an automatic timer is crucial if you do not want to walk outside each night to shut them off (Crucial during those below-freezing nights). This will also help you save money.If you are planning on hanging lights from an elevated height, you should get a sturdy ladder. Make sure you are on steady ground, not on patches of ice or snow, and always have someone there to hold the bottom of the ladder. Only purchase lights that are rated for outdoor use only. It is also recommended to plug your lights in before you get up on a ladder to hang them. This will reduce frustration later on if they do not work.
- Here are the best places to install your lights and which types of lights work best in these locations:
- Bushes – Bushes provide a great place for lights as they should be relatively easy and safest to install. Instead of running lights around the whole bush, get the "net" style lights. This will save time during installation and when you are cleaning up your set-up.
- Trees – Wrap lights around the base of the tree and around branches. Circle around the base for a more attractive look (see below)
- Roof, porch or overhang – Icicle lights look great if properly spaced on a roof, porch or overhang.
- Stairs and railings – If you are decorating around a porch, using the railings around stairs is an attractive look. (See below for example)
Now that you have attempted your first Christmas house lighting, you can start planning on your project for next year. Soon enough, you'll be Clark Griswold…

Top Five Fall "Do-It-Yourself" Projects for Your Home
October 26, 2012
Fall offers one last chance to get renovations done before winter brings ice and snow. Here are the top five Fall "Do It Yourself" projects to get your house ready for winter
- Replace Drafty Windows – Fall is the perfect time to replace your windows. Replacing old windows will save you money on your electric or gas bill in the long run by keeping the cold air out and the heat inside. You will get an immediate return on investment and you will be able to track your savings based on your utility bills. DIYNetwork.com has great tips on replacing your windows, from choosing the type of window you want and budgeting tips.
- Clear your gutters – Autumn means falling leaves and falling leaves means clogged gutters. Clear your gutters as soon as most of the trees around the house have lost their leaves. A properly cleaned gutter will help prevent flooding after the snow melts from a big storm. After you are done cleaning the gutters, you would be best served to install a gutter cover.
- Replace your Air Filter – You will be spending a lot more time indoors with incoming winter weather. Make sure you replace your air filter to prevent allergens and germs from lingering inside your home. This is particularly helpful if your kids constantly get sick.If you do not have central air, you should consider purchasing an air purifier.
- Paint your living room's walls – With the holiday season coming up, painting your walls can provide an ambiance that will make your winter more cheerful. Painting your walls in the winter time poses problems as the temperature may not properly dry the paint.
- Make a fire pit – If you don't want to spend money on installing an outdoor fireplace, making a fire pit is an inexpensive alternative. You can go as inexpensive as digging a hole and placing rocks around it or you can make a stacked-stone fire-pit as a $200-450 solution. There's nothing better than sitting around an outdoor fire on a cold Autumn evening with a group of friends. It will also give you any easy way to dispose of fallen branches in your lawn.
If any of these ideas appeal to you and you do not have the time or energy to complete the project, make sure to contact us. At Total Renovation Group, we strive to help better your place. Call us now to get your free estimate!
Add Value To Your Home With Renovations
September 17, 2012
When you're trying to sell your home in a market like the current one, you want to have every advantage you can get. One way to add value to your home — and appeal — is with renovations. But which ones are worth the money and the effort? Read on to find out.
Three Renovations That Add Value
It's hard to balance pouring more money into your home when you're looking to sell it, but there are certain projects that can increase the value.
Kitchen upgrades always catch the eye of people looking to buy homes. Whether you go all out and upgrade cabinets, add islands, custom cooktops and ovens and more or keep it simple with staining or painting the cabinets, updating the fixtures or replacing countertops that have seen better days, you're sure to add value to your home.
Bathroom Renovations
Bathroom renovations can be a little easier than kitchen renovations because they're generally more contained and less of a disruption to your everyday life. Similar to kitchen renovations, you can completely gut a bathroom and install a new custom designed shower or a Jacuzzi hot tub, or you can update the fixtures, replace cracked pedestals and outdated mirrors and lighting. You've got plenty of options, and isn't it always a relief when you walk into the bathroom in someone's home and find out it's nice?
Replace Your Floors
Whether it's your carpet that needs an update or linoleum that needs to be ripped out and replaced with something new, the options are nearly endless when it comes to updating your floors. If you have pets or active kids, carpets can get mucked up fast, but fresh new carpet, classic wood floors or stylish tile can really turn heads when it comes to adding value to your home and selling it.
Add Value to Your Home With Total Renovation Group
We take pride in each and every one of the projects we take on, and you can view some photos of our work in our Project Gallery. If you've got a home improvement project in mind, we'd love to have a project manager call and give you a free, no-obligation estimate. You can learn more about our services on our website, or give us a call at 913-451-7800.

Ask Your Denver Optometrist Blue Light Exposure May be Affecting Your Eyes!
It's no secret that we're more plugged in than ever. Computers, phones, tablets, and TVs are all around us. But how is all of this technology impacting your vision? Blue light is the high-energy wavelength emitted from screens and fluorescent lights. While it makes technology displays crystal clear, it can also strain your eyes and even lead to vision problems over time. The Denver optometrists at Vision Care Specialists want to help you protect you from digital eye strain and help you take care of your eyes!
Due to the near constant use of technology and fluorescent lights, blue light exposure impacts most people for much of every day. The biggest culprits are computers, tablets, and smartphones, which many of us look at almost constantly for work, relaxation, and information. Optometrists are noticing the increase of eye problems that are potentially related to blue light in both children and adults. In fact, 50% of patients are reporting eye issues from blue light exposure! Symptoms of blue light eye strain include headaches, dry eyes, and difficulty sleeping.
It's important to address blue light exposure in order to protect your eyes. Try to take some time away from screens when you can, break up long periods of blue exposure, and turn off blue light emitting devices before bed in order to minimize the impact. Talk to your Denver optometrist about your experience with blue light and get strategies for reducing exposure and limiting the harmful eye effects. Specific lenses exist that can filter blue light and ease eye and neck strain for people spending extended hours at their computer.
How To Use This Information
To discuss how blue light exposure may be affecting your eyes or and for any of your Denver eye care needs, just give Vision Care Specialists a call at 303-991-9600 or contact us online to schedule your appointment today!
How are you protecting your eyes from technology use and blue light exposure?

Persian Cooking Videos
A few weeks ago I spent some time with a reporter writing about Persian food in LA for a really big national publication. And lately I've been noticing Persian food popping up more in blogs and media. Is our awesome cuisine finally going mainstream?
Either way, I am pleased to share these really lovely and to-the-point "Persian Food Tutorials" from Cyrus Dowlatshahi's Fatty Productions. Cyrus has done a great job condensing Persian recipes into how-to videos that are under two minutes long. And he's working on more of these, which I'm really looking forward to seeing!
Here's one on how to prepare jujeh kabob (i.e., chicken kabob):
And one on how to prepare mast-o-khiar (cucumber yogurt):
You may remember Cyrus from our post on the film Kabob Guy. Check out more of his work at the Fatty Productions Vimeo page.

Recovering from Spiritual Illness
Many struggle with the meaning of spirituality and religiosity. Many want to be spiritual but not connected with a religion or church. Some past experience with people within a religion or church may cause you to painted all churches with the same brush and rejected them. Coming to grips with emotional trauma by reasoning from cause to effect helps one to be open to various ways of thinking about their pain so they experience healing.
Some spiritually ill persons may not have found the healing they needed in a timely fashion so began looking elsewhere. What are the signs of a spiritually sick person? Some believe the cause lies in a person's negative internal states caused by negative or traumatic life experiences. The three negative internal states are disharmony, fear and giving up on life.
Disharmony is losing one's meaning in live or an important connection to life. For example a survivor from a death of a spouse may come down with a disease that takes their life soon after they lost their loved one. Personal power is diminished at that time and it can also happen when a job or livelihood is lost.
The second cause of a spiritual illness is fear that is chronic and makes one vulnerable to illness because their anxiety aggressively diminishes their sense of wellness and feeling safe. This lowers the ability of the immune system to function causing sickness. Almost 500 years ago, the Renaissance physician Paracelsus observed, "the fear of disease is more dangerous than the disease itself."
The third cause of most illness and serious diseases is losing the will to live. Most of the time it's caused by trauma, which involves dissociative feelings. Traumatic events may be; not being wanted at birth, bullied, bitter divorce, returning from war, abortion or terrible car accident.
Some symptoms are as follows: feelings of being fragmented, or not being all there, blocked memory, inability to feel love or receive love from another, emotional remoteness, sudden onset of apathy, a lack of initiative or enthusiasm, lack of joy, failure to thrive, inability to make decisions, inability to discriminate, chronic negativity, addictions, suicidal tendencies, melancholy or despair or chronic depression.
Those who feel they have lost a part of themselves due to a traumatic event and have not been the same since can receive help to regain wholeness. Psychotherapists are aware of that missing part and it can be recovered in therapy. Healing from spiritual sickness can be experienced when you make the first step to call for a psychotherapy appointment.Leave a reply

text: Rabbi Louis Jacobs responds, in this video, to his election as the 'greatest British Jew' in the Jewish Chronicle. He describes the whole enterprise of casting a vote for such a figure as absurd and daft, and demonstrates that the notion of greatness is necessarily subjective. Indeed, the candidates each distinguished themselves in very different fields. Sir Moses Montefiore as a statesman, Hugo Gryn as a public religious figure, Harold Pinter as an artist, or Rosalind Franklin as a scientist, all deserved, in his view, to be recognized as great figures. He denies the accusation, leveled by a number of his opponents in the British-Jewish community, that he 'engineered' or benefited from the result of the vote. The entire issue, which blew up into a second Louis Jacobs Affair, caused him embarrassment. He concludes by noting that such controversies, at least, prevent Anglo-Jewry from becoming stagnant. While he does not take issue with people disagreeing on the matter of the vote, he insists that such arguments should take place with respect, honesty, and integrity.

Each spring numerous Ospreys pass through Rutland en route further north. Whilst males usually power through without stopping, some females linger for a day or two, knowing that if they stop-off with an unpaired male Osprey, they'll get a free meal or two. That's exactly what happened at Site B this week. An unringed female spent Wednesday afternoon and evening with 03 and, ever the deligent male Osprey, he presented her with a fish almost staright away. Her reponse was to fly off and eat it elsewhere. There's gratitude for you. Next morning she headed off north, and we've not seen her since. She had got exactly what she wanted!
Once the female had gone, 03 resumed normal service; chasing off the local Buzzards as he waits for his mate to return.

Fun with FitBit
I've had a FitBit for years. When I first got it, it inspired me to move more, I think. (Maybe there is a previous blog that would reveal the answer.) I haven't worn it for years, but then my little sister got me back into it by inspiring me with competition. She must know me.
You can now download and app and invite friends to compete in challenges to move more. This is sort of my dream in life. The competition aspect changes the way I operate. I've thrown in an extra walk around the block. I've even caught myself pacing while chatting to get extra steps.
Most importantly, I've learned I'm not as active as I think. I consider myself pretty active. I teach Pilates, after all. I'm up and down off the mat, pulling and adjusting springs. I feel like in my classes I'm always moving. But after teaching three back-to-back classes Ill only earn 600-800 steps. That's not great. And it's brought my attention to how much I sit. Since half my job involves running the business, I'm at the computer […]

My name is Laura and I am owned by two quaker parrots, Gypsie and Tango. Both my fids are 3yo and were originally living in a largish cage inside (it seems to be huge in comparison to the min requirement) but they were always so active that I felt they needed more space. I managed to save and buy them a flight cage (2m x 1m x .9m) which is kept in the backyard near the house. at first I only put them outside for the day and they slept inside but for the last 6 months they have been so happy to live in it full time that I let them (they come inside in bad weather). I have them out a lot and they have a HUGE tree stand I made for them in my office where I study and they play but I noticed that they aren't out as much now they live outside.
my problem is: i have noticed yesterday that the outside cage is beginning to rust. I have bought cleaning products and am scrubbing it down with all natural products this afternoon but i am not sure how to stop it from just rusting up again... i am going to call my vet and ask about painting it but i am not fond of the idea...
My other option is to buy a HUGE indoor cage and either keep it on the varandah or inside... but that is such a waste of this lovely big cage!
also - what do you all think about having them live outside? I prefer them inside but they are quite opinionated about being out of the cage when inside and cannot be allowed under any circumstances to be left unattended cos they are sneaky little fids!
thanks so much, sorry its such a long post!
laura, gypsie and tango!
p.s. gyspie laid her first two eggs last week and i do not want them to breed (tango is male) so it may be easier to regulate light etc in an indoor cage... just another thought!

What if Jesus Never Died (Part Two)
By D in The Darling, 10th Jun 2012 | Follow this author
| RSS Feed
Posted in WikinutFamilyReligion
If Jesus died for our sins, why are we not ashamed of ourselves that we're still sinning today? When you think of it all, and the fact that he told his enemies who were plotting to kill him that no matter how hard they tried killing him, he would remain alive; one can't stop wondering why are we saying he died for our sins?
- Jesus Defied Death
- Wouldn't Die By God's Leave
- Great Deeds, Not Miracles
- The Sign Of Jonah
- Staying Alive
Jesus Defied Death
It can't be denied. Jesus defied death. Accepting him as one's personal savior means Judas, The self-righteous Pharisees and everybody who acts against good, alienates and eliminates honest people for their selfish interests, were all defeated. So, let's all join hands and encourage each other to do good for the sake of humanity.
Evil doers may laugh while they make fun of the good and the godly but in the end, they'll have gained enough of nothing but a bluff. No matter how long it may take, good will triumph over evil and the godly will have the last laugh. Wasn't Jesus godly? Would he therefore succumb to evil? How did he therefore get his last laugh?
Wouldn't Die By God's Leave
Knowing that God created all of us, Jesus sat with sinners and embraced all classes. He spent some quality time with one of the lasses, Mary Magdalene. Jesus was such an honorable man. When he got tired, he slept and disturbed nobody. When he was sad and perturbed that he couldn't save them all, he wept. (John 11: 35) As a great man, he did serve instead of being served like we do. He preached love and togetherness. As a team player, he did it with prayer. On his own though, he said he was nothing. (John 5:30) But in God's name, he turned stones into scones and fed the masses. He was kind. He didn't find the need to fabricate a lie to fight anybody. Instead of taking advantage of the blind and stealing their wealth or just a few coins, he restored their sight. He brought 'the dead' back to life. Those around, saw it live. He defeated death alive. All by God's leave. Could such a man be humiliated and killed by evil doers? Not in the name a just God.
Great Deeds, Not Miracles
Why were his people still full of spite and never believed him despite witnessing every great deed he did in God's name? Wasn't it clear; he was born to do this? Why were they stubborn and kept demanding miracles to prove that he was Christ? (Matthew 16:4) Yet when he tried to prove it verbally, they accused him of blasphemy. He knew they wanted to kill him. So why did he tell them; he'd perform only one miracle to prove that he was the Messiah, when that very miracle was actually a slap in their faces and they would be more determined to kill him than ever before?
If we really believe in Jesus, shouldn't we expressly say he nailed that miracle and proved once and for all that he's the Messiah? If we say he didn't but died, are we believers? Wasn't killing him like they did many prophets before him meant to frustrate God's plan? So, as they plotted to kill Jesus, was God idle like an old idol or He planned too? If so, who's a better planner; man or God? Isn't defeating death therefore the only way to restore God's plan? So what miracle did Jesus promise those who doubted his messiahship?
The Sign Of Jonah
"As Jonah was in the stomach of the fish for three days and three nights, so shall the son of man be in the stomach of the earth for three days and three nights." Matthew 12:39-40 see how some eloquent great thinkers try to reason here.
Being swallowed by a fish and ending up in its stomach isn't a miracle nor is it a miracle for a dead person to be buried in the grave. And resurrection? Well, it's just a matter of time that's why Jesus didn't regard it as a miracle. Once buried, viable seeds die, rot then sprout out in a new form. Isn't that proof enough that there's life after death? After all, we've all been promised to rise again one day. And Jesus himself brought Lazarus back to life. (John 11:1-45)
But was Jonah dead when he got swallowed by the big fish? Did he die in its stomach? Was he dead when he came out? In simple English; did Jonah die and rise from the dead? No! If God was with Jonah in the stomach of the fish, was it too difficult for Him to be with Jesus and keep him alive both on the cross and in the grave? So, where is Jesus' miracle if he died on the cross?
Staying Alive
Fulfilling Jonah's miracle therefore can only mean; Jesus would be buried alive. While expected to be dead in the grave, he'd still be alive and like Jonah; within the same time, he'd also come out alive.God is the omnipotent. Nothing is therefore impossible with God. So, why have we chosen our salvation in something that limits His powers? God is the omnipresent. Isn't it clear that God was with Jesus in the grave and kept the prophesied time? God got no memory lapses. When he starts a thing, He keeps time from the beginning to the end. (Isaiah 46:10) So, why don't we accept that Jesus' miracle was fulfilled to the letter?
Are we therefore willingly bowing down to those without faith who regardless of what Jesus might have accomplished their desire was to sabotage him and prove that he had died? Isn't it sad that we're also celebrating that Jesus died? Who are we trying to please? Are we doing it in Christ's name just like we keep killing each other for holding different beliefs?
If we're saved, shouldn't we put our differences aside and focus on things that we agree on? Wouldn't that make us strong believers and live peacefully with one another? Wouldn't that grant all of us freedom of worship wherever we might be? If Jesus died for our sins, wouldn't we be so ashamed that we're still sinning? If Jesus is our personal savior and commander in chief of our lives as we claim, would we still feel so important and superior to others when he was so humble? Think about it!

Unless you've been living in a wifi-free cave for the past few weeks, you can't have failed to notice the new Facebook Reactions that have been rolled out. Although all we really asked for was a 'Dislike' button, Facebook has now given us the chance to express our feeling towards the latest baby picture/overshare/Minion meme. Now we can use "Love","Wow," "Sad," "Haha," "Angry," and, of course, the classic "Like". Each reaction is also given a cute, animated Facebook emoji and, at least while the novelty is still very much there, they're kind of fun.
What's it all for?
These new options are available on both the mobile (just hold your finger over "Like" and the rest will appear) and desktop (hover over "like" to see the other options). They now make it easier to show support, or sympathy towards someone without having to awkwardly "Like" a post about a dead pet…
Using these new reactions, you'll be able to see whether people "Love" the fact that you got a promotion, or just "Like" it. You can cry "Haha" at a clever pun (or, if you're feeling mean, news of someone walking in dog mess!), or show your anger towards that guy who posts awfully offensive things all the time. Basically, you can tell people how you're feeling, using fewer words than ever. It's like a throwback to the Ancient Egyptians.
Facebook founder, CEO and all round Bossman, Mark Zuckerberg explained that the reactions were chosen after analysing which words were being posted as comments under status' the most. The "Like" button had recently been diluted to no longer actively mean "I like this thing", but more of "I acknowledge it". It now can be developed to indicate "I acknowledge that stuff, but boy does it make me angry", which is pretty perfect for those of us whose family members share differing political views.
Didn't Make the Cut…
The add-on was originally trialled in Ireland and Spain, to good responses (or reactions!). However two options didn't quite make the list – both "Yay" and "Confused" were cut before being rolled out fully. It seems we'll have to write those words ourselves like the olden days – oh the humanity!
It will be interesting to see how this new feature affects business posts. Facebook's algorithm displays on the NewsFeed, those posts that have been "Liked" the most from a page you follow. However, if a brand does something bad, and the reactions are full of the bloated red angry emoji, will this be shown just as much as one with an equal amount of hearts? Will we be able to see the general opinion on brands, ideas or people based on the number of positive vs. negative reactions? Facebook have vowed to ensure the new feature isn't used "inappropriately" (whatever that may mean!) so only time will tell.
Like all things Facebook has changed in the past, the first few days are full of memes, status' and opinions that no one really asked for. Give it a few weeks before users can't even remember what it was ever like before. We are still kind of holding out for that dislike button to make an appearance though…

A live-action trailer of Ghost Recon: Future Solider directed by Ben More of Little Mix, a Ridley Scott and Associates company, has been released by Ubisoft today. To sum up the trailer in four words, I'll tell you that it's bad ass future warfare.
The trailer depicts the Ghosts on the hunt for a wanted war criminal in Moscow. Weapons of high technology are seen and a Ghost can use them to take down an entire army and vanish from sight a few seconds later.
If you enjoy this live-action trailer, be glad to know that Oscar winners Hervé de Crécy and François Alaux of Little Minx, a company of Ridley Scott and Associates, are working with Ubisoft on a short film based on the Ghost Recon franchise set to arrive later this year. Looks like they're following the Assassin's Creed: Lineage approach.
Check out three stills of the live-action trailer at the gallery. The actual video can be seen below.

More than 10 people who visited Tokyo's Yoyogi Park or its vicinity might have contracted dengue fever, Fuji TV reported Monday.
Last week, three people commuting to the same school in Tokyo, including a teenage girl, and a man and a woman in their 20s, were found to have contracted the infectious disease in what are the first domestically transmitted cases in nearly 70 years.
They are suspected of having been bitten by a mosquito carrying the dengue virus.
About 200 people come down with dengue fever in Japan every year, but they are believed to have contracted the virus while traveling overseas.
The current 10-plus victims had never traveled abroad but all had visited Yoyogi Park recently, the broadcaster reported.
The authorities said they would try to confirm if the suspected cases are in fact dengue fever around noon on Monday, according to the report.

Objets inanimés, avez vous donc une âme qui s'attache à notre âme et la force d' aimer ? - Milly ou la terre natale 1826
Lamartine was the first of the romantic poets. In many ways his life and work mirrors that of Wordsworth, born 20 years later, who was the first of the English romantic poets. His work is studied by most schoolchildren in France.
He was not only a poet but he became one of the most well known politicians in Europe. He was instrumental in abolishing slavery and the death penalty, and encouraged the working class revolution by promoting the right to work. He set up and declared the 2nd Republic. However as a political idealist he was unpopular with the bourgeoisie and his support rapidly waned. Bonaparte, later Napoleon III, trounced him and replaced Lamartine as President in 1848. Lamartine retired a broken man and devoted himself to writing in a hopeless effort to pay off his debts.
Lamartine lived for most of his life in the area between Cluny and Mâcon. To understand more about him we have visited most of the places on the Lamartine Trail, namely the chateaux at St Point, Berzé and Pierreclos. And the house in Mâcon where he was born which is now the Lamartine museum.
We have gradually pieced together some notion of his work and significance. But none of these other places gave us as much insight into Lamartine's life as the house where he spent his youth at Milly-Lamartine. We were shown round by M. Sornay who is a descendant of the family that acquired the house in 1861.
This house is the keystone to Lamartine's life. It had been built in 1705 by his great grandfather and it was surrounded by extensive vineyards. The family moved there when Lamartine was just four years old. Lamartine's mother was devoutly Catholic and she doted on him, an only son with five younger sisters.
Lamartine wrote "There is a woman at the beginning of all great things."
She was a stickler for accuracy and when she read 'La Vigne et la Maison' she saw that Lamartine had described the house as being covered with ivy. As it wasn't she promply planted ivy to save him from any criticism. She used to walk through the garden reading her breviary and Lamartine acquired from her his love of nature.
Lamartine led a tortured life. He struggled with religion. Although he was strongly influenced by the Catholicism of his mother and his Jesuit teachers he turned to Pantheism, the belief that God is not a personality but is manifested in Nature. "God is everything and everything is God".
Lamartine's story is one of obsession, despair and loss. To my mind he was overly attached to his childhood home and his mother. His mother died in an accident in 1929 and he became obsessed with keeping her memory alive.
He had several unhappy love affairs. He wrote endlessly of his obsession for Antoniella, a peasant girl, who became 'Graziella' in his poems. In 1816 he fell in love with Julie Charles at a sanatorium in Aix-les-Bains. He had arranged to meet her a year later by the lake but she was not there and he was devastated when he found she had died. He wrote of his yearning for her in 'Le Lac', probably the most famous of all his poems.
By 1820 success with his poetry enabled him to marry Mary Birch, an English woman related to the Churchill family. But life was a series of tragedies as he lost a son in infancy and in 1832 his daughter died at the age of ten during a trip abroad. He and Mary seem to have remained close despite their later poverty and Lamartine's continuing anguish about earlier relationships which he expressed in his poems.
Lamartine inherited the house in 1830 and he felt guilty because he was the only male heir and all the family property went to him. So he spent his life supporting the five sisters, so much so that he was driven into debt and was forced to sell the house in 1860. This broke his heart and it was downhill from then. His wife died of a painful illness in 1863. Lamartine suffered some sort of attack and lay semi-conscious for more than a year before his death in 1869. He ended his life forgotten and in poverty.
There is a connection with Cormatin as Lamartine was a regular visitor to the Chateau as he used to visit the daughter of the owner. Later, when she married, he became good friends with her husband and he continued to visit them both.

Sounds enticing, but we know it is often either too good to be true, or it comes with a plethora of health risks. As it turns out, there's a far more natural means of burning fat that comes with as little lifestyle changes as possible. In fact, your body produces the substance responsible for this in your pineal gland. The substance I am referring to is melatonin.
The Importance of Melatonin
Melatonin is a hormone that is naturally produced in the human body that works on a circadian rhythm, meaning the levels of melatonin rise and fall in a predictable cycle. It is best known for its role in the sleep cycle and balancing mood. While the regulation of melatonin levels is largely responsible for signaling to your body that it is time to sleep, the effects of this hormone extend much further. Recent research indicates that melatonin may play a significant role in the treatment of obesity.
Brown Fat Cells: Harnessing this type of fat could aid weight loss
50 Shades of Fat
So how exactly does melatonin aid in obesity treatment? Before that question can be answered, a little background on the topic of brown fat is in order. Brown fat is different from the more well-known type of fat which can collect around organs and under the skin, which is known as white adipose tissue (WAT). White fat cells tend to store fat whereas brown fat is responsible for contributing to a process known as thermogenesis, which is the production of heat from fatty acids. This process has been associated with weight loss and there is evidence melatonin can convert WAT into brown fat, or more appropriately, brown fat-like cells known as beige fat.
A study that was published in the Journal of Pineal Research investigated melatonin's transformative effects on WAT and the findings were rather promising.
The Research Method
The study employed the use of rats that had been bred to develop diet induced Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and normal lean rats. The rats were divided into 4 groups which consisted of diabetic rats with and without melatonin treatment, also, lean rats with and without melatonin treatment. The melatonin was administered orally and the rats were treated for 6 weeks. After the treatment period, fat was collected from the inguinal area (groin and lower abdomen) and analyzed for the presence of beige fat.
It was known prior to the study that melatonin does in fact improve the metabolic profiles of T2D induced rats, without changing food intake and activity levels. It is because food intake and activity levels were not manipulated that scientists hypothesized that there was a thermogenic effect at play.
Results for Untreated Rats
75% of the lean untreated rats were found to have beige fat deposits in their inguinal area. The diabetic rats exhibited zero beige fat deposits in the same area. This tells us a couple of important facts. Beige fat appears to be prevalent in lean, healthy animals and it is totally absent in obese, diabetic animals without the treatment of melatonin.
Results for Melatonin Treated Rats
Astoundingly, melatonin treatment resulted in the conversion of WAT into beige fat in both the lean and obese rats. The researchers anticipated that the temperature of the skin would correlate to the level of fat browning that had occurred and thermal images revealed that they were correct. Melatonin treated rats were found to produce a higher heat signature in the inguinal area than rats that had not been treated.
Additional Findings of Interest
Another interesting finding of this experiment was that melatonin did not result in a higher level of physical activity in the rats. This confirms that beige and brown fat cells have fat burning effects regardless of activity levels.
What Makes Brown Fat Brown (or Beige)
The reason brown fat is darker in color is actually related to its metabolic activity. A part of our cells known as the mitochondria is responsible for energy metabolism and brown fat has a much higher level of much more active mitochondria. Brown fat mitochondria have an abundance of cytochromes which are energy promoting enzymes that give the fat cells a darker color.
This study suggests that brown fat contributes to the metabolism of individuals who are naturally lean. Obese and diabetic individuals may have very little brown fat. Oral melatonin supplementation can be a safe and effective way to combat obesity and improve the condition of those living with diabetes.
A study published in Annals of Medicine reported that mutations in the melatonin gene can negatively affect blood glucose levels. Melatonin receptors are present in the pancreas, which is the organ responsible for secreting insulin which is deficient in diabetics. It is possible that melatonin treatment can simultaneously cut body fat and help restore glucose balance.
Further testing is certainly needed but it appears we are growing ever closer to a safer, easier means of metabolic management.

Pinkel Addresses Spring Ball Competition for QB Spot
COLUMBIA -- The battle of Missouri starting quarterback is heading to fall camp. On Wednesday during the Southeastern Conference Coaches Teleconference, head coach Gary Pinkel addressed the sprint ball competition at the QB position.
"I think the order always matters at every spot. You come out with 15 practices and get as many, many reps in those 15 practices and in scrimmages and so on. James [Franklin] is going to be one, Maty [Mauk] will be two and Corbin [Berkstresser] is going to be three. We haven't talked about that yet but that will certainly effect, as it always had, reps a little bit without question into August when we finalize that. It's still going to be competitive though and that's not going to change, I think it's healthy like it is in every position."
The pre-spring depth chart had Franklin listed as number one, Berkstresser as number two and Mauk at number three. Mauk made the jump to the number two spot after the first open scrimmage of the season on Saturday, April 6.

Province seeks 'objective, consistent and effective' choice procedure.
The government of Quebec has these days created a major announcement concerning the Quebec Skilled worker Program (QSWP), its flagship program for immigration to North American country.
In a release denote on its official web site, the govt explicit that 'Quebec can choose hot staff in a very a lot of objective, consistent and effective manner' through the points-based program. Towards this finish, the govt has removed the allocation of points (6) that were antecedently out there underneath the 'adaptability'issue at the interview stage, that was deemed to possess been too subjective in nature.
The changes proclaimed these days get immediate result and can apply to most candidates World Health Organization have already submitted Associate in Nursing application, in addition as those that could do thus within the future. people whose files square measure presently underneath body review, in addition as those that are allotted an amount of your time to boost their French proficiency, stay subject to the rules that were in result at the time the appliance was created.
The news is probably going to be welcome by several existing and future candidates, because the government of Quebec has effectively removed one in all the 3 thresholds that require to be met so as for associate {degree|associate} application to be dropped at conclusion and a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ, or Quebec choice Certificate) to be issued. The remaining thresholds within the points system account for:
• an applicant's space of coaching, work expertise, age, language proficiency, previous relationship with Quebec (through visits or family), the human capital factors of the applicant's better half or unwritten partner (if applicable), and whether or not or not the mortal features a valid job supply in Quebec ; and
• an applicant's related kids (if applicable), and proof of economic independence.
Previously, candidates World Health Organization were awarded an outsized variety of points for these factors might not are caught up interview as they'd already increased the required variety of points so as for his or her application to proceed. For those that required up to 6 further points so as for his or her application to proceed, however, the interview stage was a demand. during this interview, Associate in Nursing applicant's documentation, language proficiency, and settlement set up for Quebec could are inspected.
In today's release, the govt of Quebec noted that it retains the correct to conduct interviews for the QSWP, although no points could also be awarded on the idea of the interview. In its program guide, the got explicit that future interviews could re-evaluate Associate in Nursing applicant's language proficiency and therefore the legitimacy of his or her documentation, and additional that interviews would even be for internal control functions.
It is not however legendary specifically once successive application cycle for the QSWP could begin, however today's breaking news is that the latest in a very series of announcements created by the govt of Quebec over recent months.
• In October 2014 the govt explicit its objective to keep up a contemporary and economical immigration system to draw in newcomers World Health Organization contribute to Quebec's economic, social and cultural life.
• In Jan 2015 Quebec proclaimed a public consultation on immigration and variety and launched an in depth policy review.
• Around identical time, Quebec free its new Areas of coaching list.
• In March 2015 it had been proclaimed that successive application cycle for the QSWP would have half dozen,300 spaces.
• In May 2015 the govt of Quebec proclaimed that by October one, 2015 a brand new on-line tool are going to be out there for candidates for Canadian immigration through the QSWP, permitting candidates to complete Associate in Nursingd submit an application on-line.
As it stands, and till official news to the contrary is proclaimed, the QSWP remains a first-come, first-served economic immigration program. In distinction, the categorical Entry choice system for the federal economic immigration programs selects potential candidates on a priority basis from a pool of candidates World Health Organization have created Associate in Nursing expression of interest in immigrating to North American country. As a result, the QSWP could also be an attractive immigration choice for people World Health Organization want to create Associate in Nursing application to immigrate to North American country while not having to be invited to use from a pool of candidates. Potential candidates to the QSWP ought to note that they're going to be needed to demonstrate their intention to reside in the province of Quebec.
Moreover, candidates ought to note that French proficiency is heavily weighted underneath the points system. it's not the case, however, that French proficiency may be a demand for the program. candidates would Health Organization don't have information of French, however World Health Organization have robust characteristics in different areas should be eligible to use.
Immigration to Quebec through the QSWP may be a ballroom dance method. Eligible candidates World Health Organization with success submit an entire and correct application square measure issued a Quebec choice Certificate, at that purpose they will apply for a Canada permanent resident visa.
Though the cap for the foremost recent application cycle has been reached, a candidate could also be exempt from the program cap if he or she:
• is eligible for associate {degree|associate} submit Associate in Nursing application underneath the Programme de l'expérience québécoise (PEQ, Quebec expertise Program); or
• has penned a legitimate employment supply with the appliance for a variety certificate that was submitted underneath the Quebec worker Program; or
• has been conversant by Citizenship and Immigration North American country that it's united to method his or her application for Canada PR.

The Chainsmokers Release the Song of the Summer with "Side Effects"
The Chainsmokers, along with singer Emily Warren, released "Side Effects" on July 27. It comes nearly two years after their monster hit, "Closer" debuted and dominated the charts. The award-winning, chart-topping duo — Andrew Taggart and Alex Paul — have released numerous singles since "Closer," but perhaps none as carefree and summery as "Side Effects."
2018 saw the release of "Sick Boy," an EP that has produced four singles to date. "Side Effects" marks their fifth single this year and is thought to be from their upcoming full-length studio album. Unlike their other 2018 singles, "Side EFfects" has a more upbeat, disco-inspired feeling that makes it a fitting summer bop.
It's also a far cry from their early DJ days. Taggart and Paul have matured as performers, with Taggart getting behind the mic and singing on songs like "Closer." The music itself has become more personal, focusing on modern-day relationships and what it means to live and love in an increasingly technological age.
Paul and Taggart claim that they write songs based on their observations of the world. Their themes resonate with both critics and audiences alike. Since breaking through into mainstream success in 2014, The Chainsmokers have gone on to produce platinum records and to be nominated for and win multiple awards. This includes the Grammy Awards, the American Music Awards, the MTV Video Music Awards, and People's Choice.
While The Chainsmokers continue DJing in Vegas, they also perform their music at venues large and small around the world. Alex Paul remains the main DJ, with Andrew Taggart writing, singing, and producing. Their sound is an eclectic mix of EDM, hip-hop, pop, and indie.
Since debuting "Side Effects" in July, they have dropped multiple remixes of the track. They've also released a music video featuring Camila Mendes of "Riverdale" fame. It was shot on location in Miami and directed by Matthew Dillon Cohen.

If you're anything like me, you forget to take good care of your body until summer comes around. Then you're left with dry, flaky skin, wondering how you can make it look soft and smooth again.
In winter, a good body butter will do the job, but they are too thick and greasy for summer. A lightweight body lotion would be better, but there is so much choice these days, it's hard to choose one. And you don't just want one, you want the best, right?
Well, I found a really good one that moisturizes skin well, and does a lot more too. It's HydroShield Body Serum by Dr Denese New York. Here's what makes it so awesome:
What Dr Denese New York Says
Drench your body in moisture and sooth dry, dehydrated skin. Formulated with our exclusive HydroShield technology to provide intense, long-lasting moisture. Light-weight serum instantly absorbs into the skin.
Ingredient Analysis
Retinol is one of the best skincare ingredients ever. It should be in every body lotion, yet it is so hard to find one that contains even just a smattering of it. This Body Serum contains plenty of it, which is the main reason why I love it so much. So, what's so special about retinol?
It can boost collagen production, which helps keep skin firm and elastic. It can also help reduce wrinkes and discolourations caused by sun damage, so using it on exposed areas of the body is particularly important if you want your skin to stay younger-looking and healthier for longer.
Retinol improves the appearance of cellulite too. It does this by making skin look smoother. That's it. It won't get rid of cellulite (nothing can do that), but it makes it less obvious, which is the best any lotions and potions can do yet.
Ceramides are waxy lipids that naturally occur in our skin. Their job is to waterproof skin, creating a shield that prevents water from evaporating. This way, skin stays soft and moisturized. But that's not all. Ceramides can also repair the skin's protective barrier when it is broken. This helps treat dry skin and make your skin soft and smooth again.
This serum is silicone-based. I know many people don't like that because they believe silicones prevent skin from breathing. But that's nonsense. First of all, you can't prevent skin from breathing. Skin doesn't breathe. It can't. It doesn't have lungs.
Skin can, however, perspire. But silicones don't prevent that either. They have a particular molecule structure, which is made of larger molecules with wider spaces between each molecule. This allows the barrier they create to be protective but not suffocating.
So, what do silicones do? They give slip to a product, allowing it to glide on smoothly. They also fill in fine lines and wrinkles so they look smaller. And they make skin feel baby smooth to the touch.
Final Considerations On The Formula
In addition to silicones, retinol, and ceramides, Dr Denese New York Hydroshield Body Serum also contains a bunch of antioxidants, like tocopherol (vitamin e) and linoleic acid, that help fight free radicals, the main cause of premature ageing. Yep, antioxidants aren't just for the face. Your body needs them too.
This serum has a lightweight texture that's fairly moisturizing. Unless you have very dry skin. Then, this alone won't be enough for you (although you can still use it for its anti-ageing benefits under your moisturizer).
But for everyone else, this is a wonderful serum to add to their skincare routine, especially now that summer's here and we are all switching to lighter formulations. They're usually enough for the warm season, when cold temperatures and hot baths don't continuously dry out our skin.
Full Ingredient List
Hexamethyldisoloxane, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Ceramides, Retinol, Tocopherol, Linoleic Acid, Linolinic Acid, Octyl (Ethylhexl) Cocoate, Lecithin, Glycine Soja (Soybean Seed Extract), Carthamus Tinctorious (Safflower Seed Oil), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Pollen Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon Bioflavonoids) Peel Extract, Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract, Fragrance, Phenoxyethanol.
The Bottom Line
Dr Denese New York Hydroshield Body Serum is the perfect addition to your summer skincare routine. Lightweight and moisturizing, it keeps your skin soft and smooth, helps prevent premature ageing and repairs some of the damage caused by UV rays.
