The deforestation rates in Indonesia are the highest amongst the
world's major forest nations, (1) and according to recent estimates
Indonesia is the country with the third largest greenhouse gas
emissions after China and the United States, mainly due to the
destruction of peatland forests. (2) Deforestation accounts for
approximately one-fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. (3)
In collaboration with local communities in Riau, Greenpeace will
bear witness and document the rampant destruction of the peatland
forests in Riau. (4) Volunteers at the FDC will also engage in
spotting and fighting forest fires, conduct peatland depth surveys
and undertake a comprehensive assessment of biodiversity in the
Mr Ali Mursyid the community leader of Kuala Cenaku (village
close to the FDC) made this statement at the opening of the camp.
"Our people consider the forests a sacred inheritance from our
ancestors and we have an obligation to protect it because it is our
source of life. We are now trying to save our remaining forests at
any cost and are committed to rehabilitating whatever others have
The main camp structure, the Balai Adat, is a traditional
Sumatran community meeting house located on community land. The
area surrounding the camp has recently been cleared of forest and
peatlands have been destroyed to make way for oil palm
The work and documentation undertaken over coming months will
highlight the urgency of ending deforestation, preventing
biodiversity loss and combating climate change in the run up to
Indonesia hosting the next round of Kyoto Protocol negotiations in
Bali in December.
"As we launch this initiative, the forests in Indonesia are
being destroyed. This has to end. The Indonesian government must
act and, before December's Kyoto Protocol meeting in Bali, commit
to a moratorium on conversion and destruction of Indonesian
peatland forests and ensure the implementation of an effective
action plan against forest fires," said Hapsoro, Forest Campaigner
of Greenpeace Southeast Asia who is currently at the forest
Greenpeace is calling on the Indonesian government to commit to
a moratorium on deforestation and industrial logging; a review of
laws, governance and law enforcement; and the implementation of a
responsible and just land-use planning system.
"We need international action to end deforestation. Agreement on
this must be included in the second phase of the Kyoto Protocol.
Protecting the world's remaining forests will significantly reduce
climate change, maintain the livelihood of millions of people who
depend on forests and protect a huge amount of the world's
biodiversity," said Sue Connor, Greenpeace International forests
Taking action to reduce deforestation must be part of the 'Bali
Mandate', which would establish the ambition, content, process and
timetable for negotiating the next phase of international action
against climate change due to be concluded by 2009.
Stabilising the world's climate depends on countries making deep
cuts in their energy-related emissions and completely halting

Microsoft is thumping hacked consoles with the Xbox LIVE banhammer, presenting such modified machines with a message outlining Redmond's zero-tolerance policy. From here on, any console found to have been faffed around with will be booted without ceremony, and without any review or possibility of forgiveness.
"We're very serious about this, and if we detect you have a modded Xbox then you will not be able to connect to Xbox Live. If you see this screen and get Status Code: Z: 8015 - 190D…that means your console has been banned.
If one's first instinct is to grumble about the right to tinker, it's worth remembering that as of right now, the only serious hack on offer is a firmware switcheroo that has but one practical use: piracy. So far, Xbox 360s are yet to get a lot of hack love, and there's no homebrew going. No-one is out there running Linux or DVR software, so Microsoft is punishing misbehavior here, not the curious poking-around of technically-inclined users.
However, I'll be damned if I can figure out why Microsoft is lying about why it's doing it. It claims to be preventing cheating in games, which is not the case. The banned mods don't provide cheats. They facilitate piracy. Have we got to the point where even Redmond is wary of openly condemning piracy, given the particular demographic that LIVE's users present?
The bigger problem is that those *gently touched * will now sell their banned consoles. Microsoft is, with its no-recourse policy, creating a market of lemon Xboxen which will immediately storm eBay. Think eBay and PayPal will help those who get screwed? After all, they'll get what they paid for: a used XBox 360.

A bridal shower is the one wedding detail the bride typically doesn't have to plan or worry about. Themed bridal showers are fun, creating a specific environment in which the guests, host and bride can relax and enjoy themselves. Beach-themed bridal showers are perfect to shower the couple who loves the beach, sun and water or the couple honeymooning in an exotic beach location.
Choose fun, casual invitations depicting your favorite aspect of the beach theme. Use this one element as the key to tie in all of the other details. For example, you can use an invitation depicting two starfish, seashells in a heart shape, beach chairs with silhouettes of a man and woman or a veil blowing in the wind off of one of the chairs, two umbrellas with a man and woman holding hands in between them, two palm trees creating a heart, white rhinestone flip-flops or sandcastles. A picture of sand with a heart drawn in it, especially if it contains the bride's and groom's initials would be a nice touch.
Include any special theme information, such as requesting guests come in beach attire. Think shorts, T-shirts and flip-flops or sundresses and sandals. If you do this, you can also suggest they somehow tie in the wedding theme, such as including something "old, new, borrowed and blue." If you'd like the gifts to be beach themed, which is especially good if the couple is honeymooning at a beach or owns a beach house, note that on the invitations. It is OK to mention where the bride is registered and any other gift information you feel should be passed on.
For inside, decorations can be simple white beach chairs with a veil on the bride's chair and his-and-hers beach towels with blow-up palm trees. Outside, add small stringed lights and real or fake palm trees. Display photos of the couple together on the beach or as kids on the beach.
Use fishnets suspended with seashells or kiddie pools filled with sand. Add a plastic pail and rake and draw a heart with the bride's and groom's names or initials. Surfboards work well, even if you use cardboard cutouts. If you make your own surfboards, draw a wedding gown and tuxedo on them, wedding bells or the couples' names or initials in hearts.
For an elegant look, fill small glass containers with sand, seashells and a pretty candle. Add little gold wedding bands, like the inexpensive ones you can get in bulk. You could also use floating candles.
Hang large pictures or posters of serene beach scenes on the walls if you have to host your shower indoors. Find romantic pictures depicting scenes of two footprints in the sand, hearts drawn in the sand, a couple's silhouette at sunset or a couple holding hands in the distance.
Favors can range from cute flip-flop photo frames or luggage tags to elegant crystal seashell coasters. Silver sailboat or beach chair picture frames work as well. Votive candles with sculpted sand castles, seashells or palm trees make elegant favors. Gel candles featuring seashells are another option. There are little message-in-a-bottle favors you can personalize with the bride's name and shower date on the scrolled message. Add sand and tiny seashells to complete the look.
Think beach or tropical food when planning the menu. Fruits, particularly coconuts work well. Serve pulled pork, shrimp cocktails, crab cakes or shish kebabs with meat and pineapples for the main course. Serve fruity drinks with umbrellas. It would be a nice touch to serve the drinks out of coconut or coconut-inspired glasses.
A sandcastle cake or cupcakes make a fitting dessert. Coconut pie or cookies decorated with shaved coconut work as well. Jello or cookies can be shaped like fish, shells, sandcastles or hearts.
If you can get outdoors, try a friendly game of volleyball in the sand. Of course classic bridal shower games, such as "who knows the bride best" or "bride and groom trivia" should still be included.
Have guests write a personal message or piece of advice for the bride on a seashell or seashell stationery using permanent glittery pens. If you use paper, you can insert the messages into a bottle complete with sand and shells. Add a cork, and the bride has advice and memories she can turn to through the years.

Reiki therapy: Energy healing with a simple hands-on healing is called Reiki therapy. Reiki is one of the most used energy healing modality in the world and is also one of the easiest and most effective to use. Its No surprise that the medical profession: doctors, nurses and aids are now beginning to study and use Reiki to help patients heal faster.
Reiki therapy is god force energy. It always raises the vibrational energy for the patients and that means better health and well being.
Did you know that Hospitals are now using Reiki therapy?
The California Pacific Medical Center -- One of the largest hospitals in northern California where Dr. Mike Cantwell, a pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases, provides one to three hour-long reiki therapy sessions. When asked how reiki therapy helps his patients Cantwell said, "I have found reiki therapy to be useful in the treatment of acute illnesses such as musculoskeletal injury, pain, headache, acute infections and asthma. Reiki therapy is also useful for patients with chronic illnesses especially those associated with chronic pain."
Dr. Mehmet Oz. of The Columbia Presbyterian Medical Centre in New York City was one of the first to include a Reiki practitioner in his department. Says Dr. Oz: "Reiki therapy has become a sought-after healing art among patients and mainstream medical professionals."
Dr. Mehmet Oz is one of the leading cardiovascular surgeons in the United States and has appeared many times on The Oprah Winfrey Show. The New York Times Magazine reported that Dr. Oz has allowed the use of Reiki during open heart surgeries and heart transplant operations because he has noticed Reiki therapy gave the patient a greater sense of peace and harmony.
The Japanese had a Reiki Master on board all their ships during the war. Ironically, Reiki therapy still has to gain a modicum of acceptance in the East, where it originated. Reiki flourished in Japan because the Meiji emperor supported Usui's efforts to teach and give reiki, and the older people of his generation welcomed the return to spirituality. Since his death, however, reiki has not been incorporated into the Japanese health care system and continues to remain largely in the shadows of modern medicine.
Several other hospitals across the US have included reiki therapy in their roster of patient services.
Dr. Nancy Eos of the University of Michigan Medical School is one of the increasing number of doctors who incorporates Reiki therapy in their medical practice. "I can't imagine practicing medicine without Reiki," Eos says. "With Reiki therapy all I have to do is touch a person. Things happen that don't usually happen. Pain lessens in intensity. Rashes fade. Wheezing gives way to breathing clearly. Angry people begin to joke with me."Reiki therapy has been practiced Since 1998 in the Columbia/HCA Portsmouth Regional Hospital in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Doctors have been giving their surgical patients the option of 15 min pre- and post- surgery reiki therapy treatments. As a result of this, there has been less use of pain medication, shorter length of stay in the hospital and an increase in patient satisfaction.
In the Reiki therapy Clinic at Tucson Medical Center in Arizona, a team of Reiki therapy practitioners give reiki energy healing treatments to patients. Reiki therapy was first offered to patients in the Cancer Care Unit but has since expanded to other units after it had been proven that pain, chronic conditions, and post operative surgery conditions all responded well to reiki therapy.
Many hospitals are adding Reiki Therapy to their practices
Two other hospitals in New York, namely Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and Memorial Sloane Kettering Hospital have also embraced reiki. Marilyn Vega is a nurse who has given reiki sessions to patients in both hospitals. "Reiki sessions cause patients to heal faster with less pain," says Vega.

Care must be taken to make sure that included header filenames are unique. According to C99 [[ISO/IEC 9899-1999]]:
The implementation shall provide unique mappings for sequences consisting of one or more nondigits or digits (188.8.131.52) followed by a period (.) and a single nondigit. The first character shall not be a digit. The implementation may ignore distinctions of alphabetical case and restrict the mapping to eight significant characters before the period.
This means that
- Only the first eight characters in the filename are guaranteed to be significant.
- The file has only one, nondigit character after the period in the filename.
- The case of the characters in the filename is not guaranteed to be significant.
To guarantee that header filenames are unique, all included files should differ (in a case insensitive manner) in their first eight characters or in their (one character) file extension.
Note that this recommendation does not require that short filenames are used, only that the filenames are unique.
Non-Compliant Code Example
The following non-compliant code contains references to headers that may exist independently in various environments but can be ambiguously interpreted by a C99-compliant compiler.
#include "Library.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include "library.h" #include "utilities_math.h" #include "utilities_physics.h" #include "my_library.h" /* Rest of program */
Library.h and
library.h may refer to the same file. Also, because only the first eight characters are guaranteed to be significant, it is unclear whether
utilities_math.h and
utilities_physics.h are parsed. Finally, if a file such as
my_libraryOLD.h exists, it may inadvertently be included instead of
Compliant Solution
This compliant solution avoids the ambiguity by renaming the associated files to be unique under the above constraints.
#include "Lib_main.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include "lib_2.h" #include "util_math.h" #include "util_physics.h" #include "my_library.h" /* Rest of program */
The only solution for mitigating ambiguity of a file such as
my_libraryOLD.h is to rename old files with either a prefix (that would fall within the first eight characters) or to add an extension (such as
PRE08-EX1: While C99 only requires eight significant characters, most modern systems have long filenames, and compilers on such systems can typically differentiate them. Consequently, long filenames in headers may be used, provided that all the implementations to which the code is ported can distinguish between these filenames.
Risk Assessment
Failing to guarantee uniqueness of header files may result in the inclusion of an older version of a header file, which may include incorrect macro definitions or obsolete function prototypes or result in other errors that may or may not be detected by the compiler. Portability issues may also stem from the use of header names that are not guaranteed to be unique.

I was wowed by the colour combo from this week's Tuesday Trigger and wanted to attempt to use it. I'm not the greatest with colour combos because I usually start out using the right colours, but then don't like the way something looks and I eventually end up with a card using none of the required colours! I also used this week's FTL#86.
It worked out well because I have a lot of coloured card bases from leftover cardstock, but often turn to white or kraft. And I often find when I try to use another colour cardbase I feel the need to emboss it or something to give it a little something more.
The circle stamps are Hero Arts circle designs and the sentiment is from their card messages set.
Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you very much for the interest, good wishes and presents for our little one and our new family. My baby is now over a month old and is doing really well and growing really fast – at his birth he weighed 3 600g/7 pounds and 15 ounces and now he is already over 4kg. He is starting to show cute facial expression and tries to learn smiling. He has recently developed a huge visual interest in colours.
He loves dancing with Daddy and going out with him in the baby sling. He likes meeting new people who all adore him, so he is putting on extra cheeky charm.
He also likes seeing more vibrant and exciting colours and he is always very well behaved when we go out.
For car journeys we added a dummy in case of crying spells on busy roads and traffic jams. He likes driving though he loves his milli (milk) much more.
Our baby still retains his love for music, in particular harmonic, calming classical music for falling asleep. He also quite likes the Baby massage course and from next Monday, we start Baby Music, too, where we'll be singing nursery rhymes and later on add some instruments like drums or rattles. End of October, when the massage is finished, a new course for Baby and Parent Yoga is starting, which we are interested in too.
As we had a brilliant water birth, we continue to enjoy big splashy baths together. Baby swims are starting here only for over 4 months age at the local swimming pools, but we are looking forward to trying it out when we are old enough.
We are now becoming a complete family home in our little flat. The little one also likes watching the fishes and the guinea pigs. His favorite toy is at the moment the little rocking baby swing.
He is also quite good with sleeping, he nearly slept through tonight.
He is an absolute baby star so far, I am very proud of him.

An Oracle from Ancient Egypt"
By Athon Veggi and Alison Davidson
The wonderful Bennu, with its brilliant plumage, was the sacred bird of Heliopolis. Identified as a heron with its long straight back and head adorned at the back with two erect feathers, the Bennu was later called Phoenix by the Greeks and fabulous stories were told about it.
In Heliopolis, the Bennu bird played a major role in Egyptian mythology, dwelling on the ben-ben stone or obelisk within its sanctuary and revered alongside Ra and Ausar (Osiris). For it was in the City of the Sun where the work of creation began.
The Bennu bird was said to create itself from the fire that burned on the top of the sacred Persea tree in Heliopolis, and in the Metternich Stele, Auset (Isis) says to her son Heru: 'Thou art the Great Bennu who was born on the Incense Trees in the House of the Great Prince in Heliopolis.' (Budge, 1969, vol. 2209)
As the 'soul of Ra,' the sun rose in the form of the Bennu to shine out across the world renewed each morning. But the Bennu was also a manifestation of Ausar (Osiris) and was said to spring from his heart as a living symbol of the god. In the 'Book of the Dead,' there are formulae to transform the deceased into the Great Bennu. Here, the deceased says, 'I am the Bennu, the soul of Ra, and the guide of the gods in the Duat.' In another verse, he says, 'I am pure. My purity is the purity of the Great Bennu which is in the city of Suten-henen.'
For the Bennu is the quintessence of rebirth, it rises from its ashes as the spiritual body rises from the dead physical form, as the new sun rises from the old. It is the new condition reached when the return to life is accomplished, namely the resurrection of Ausar (Osiris).
Herodotus records the Bennu bird -- making its appearance only once in 500 years -- as coming from Arabia, carrying in its beak an egg of myrrh that contained its father's body. This egg is similar to Geb's egg that was laid on the primordial hill and gave birth to the sun, the egg within which the whole alchemical process of transformation is effected.
When the Bennu became old, he built a nest of incense twigs in the sacred tree, and lay down and died. In Pliny's account, a small worm appeared from his body that metamorphosed into a bird, and thus the Bennu was reborn.
The planet Venus was called the 'star of the ship of the Bennu-Ausar' (Osiris), mentioned as the Morning Star in this invocation to the sacred sun bird.
I am the Bennu, the soul of Ra, and the guide of the gods in the Tuat; let it be so done unto me that I may enter in like a hawk, and that I may come forth like Bennu, the Morning Star.

Achieving an environment that fosters productivity and efficiency, and supports high moral and the wellbeing of workers is a tricky task. Whilst you may not directly associate electrical contractors with the happiness of your employees, our electrical services have made a great difference to the overall performance of companies all across Yorkshire and the Humber for the past 70 years. Here, we share what we've learned about the practical side of improving office wellbeing.
Shining a light on employee wellbeing
Many of the physical elements of a building are responsible for how we feel inside that space, from inadequate lighting to poor temperature control. Awareness over the need for intelligent lighting has grown in the last several years, after several studies revealed that poor lighting can affect the concentration and positivity of employees as well as cause headaches and fatigue. Spurred on by research from the World Green Building Council which showed better encouraged better work rates by up to 23%, companies began to adopt smarter lighting options like LED and Halogen bulbs which offered blue-white lighting which imitates natural daylight. As our bodies react to natural light changes through the day this change results in fewer workers feeling tired as the day goes on.
When we provide electrical contractor support we look at each space and how it's used to determine the optimal light fitting that's in line with the HSE guidelines. This extends to the exterior areas of the building such as walkways and car parks ensure employees feel safe during dark nights and late finishes. We take a similar approach to emergency lighting, ensuring that all staff have a clear and well-lit exit route.
Repairs, refurbishments and maintenance, oh my!
How often have you been in a building with a dodgy flickering light? A switch that doesn't work? Frustrating cable locations, or sockets that don't work? Reporting and remedying these outages and annoyances can be time consuming and inconvenient. But they all contribute of the overall wellbeing of employees. Part of the reason we're trusted as local electrical contractors is our understanding of the importance of getting issues fixed quickly and efficiently. The advent of smart buildings and interconnectivity is changing how buildings operate and function day-to-day. Staying up to speed with these changes and providing a commercial electrical contracting service that meets evolving needs – including a positive employee space – is vital for a company such as ours.
We recognise that the wellbeing of workers is too important to ignore. To get make the most from your business and provide a productive environment for all employees, request a consultation or ask about our O&M service packages.

Charlotte, NC (GlossyNews) -– It's all about guns. Guns, guns, guns. Guns and more guns. There are big guns, little guns, guns that kill just one person, and guns that are capable of killing more than one person at a time. Guns for show and guns for show-time. There are great gun names like Howitzer and Luger and, as Arnold Schwarzenegger would say, "nine milleemeeters." There are assault rifles, sniper rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, semi-automatics, fully automatics, auto automatics, super automatics, uber automatics, ahhhhhhhhtowmaaaaaatics.
But wait, that's not all! The gathering will bring out not only big guns in the sense of cannons and rocket and grenade launchers, but big guns in the sense of big-name conservative speakers like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Newt Gingrich and others whose names are synonymous with guns–leaders who will do the best job they can to get the crowd riled up and angrier than they've ever been about the power they need to reclaim. Guns and taking back power, a kick-ass combination if there ever was one, just ask Chuck Norris, another notable on the guest list. We just hope the walls of the convention center are sturdy enough to contain all that raucous enthusiasm.
If you want to see more guns than you've ever seen in your life in one place, just head on down to Charlotte, North Carolina to the biggest gun show on earth. You won't be disappointed. And the NRA has spared no expense to ensure your safety. The floors of the convention center will be lined end-to-end with "puppy piddle pads" so that no attendees will slip on what is expected to be the worlds' largest drool pool.
Just don't bring your own gun because the sign out front reads "no open or concealed carry weapons on Convention Center property."

How do companies worldwide manage the cleaning of industrial fluids? 29.10.2018 TOBA
While all over the world there is a discussion of how to reduce waste, this is hardly happening in industry. Negotiations are underway as to whether straws should be banned, whether cotton swabs should no longer be sold or how environmentally damaging cardboard cups are. Until a few years ago, the processing of industrial liquids was not very widespread outside Europe. Today, however, more and more companies around the world are demanding that contaminated liquids needed to be treated. When treating industrial liquids, a general distinction is made between two different types of filter. Cleaning with industrial filters which, however, require filter aids and consumables. The second types are filtration methods without consumables.
With consumables
With the help of consumables, filters are also used in industry to ensure filtration. In most cases, however, it is not only the type of filter or the condition of the filter that is decisive in this type of filtration. In a filtration process using a belt filter, an additional filter cake builds up on the flow which is the actual filter. This has the consequence that with a perfect filter cake, the purity can be increased. Industrial filters work very similar to filters that are commonly used in private households. The big difference is the filter performance.
As with other filtration methods, there are different types of filters with consumables, but they are always built according to the same principle of filtration. A positive aspect of industrial filters is the lower investment cost than filtration without auxiliary equipment.
Without consumables
This type of separation of liquid and solid is ensured by centrifuges. When separating liquid and solid by usage of centrifuges, it can only physically function if the two substances have different specific densities. Liquid separation can be imagined as sedimentation in an open container. The greater the delta of the two densities, the faster the heavier material settles at the bottom of the container. This sedimentation is also used in the centrifuge, but the liquid is accelerated in a drum to accelerate the natural sedimentation many times over. This type of filtration is more expensive than filtration with consumables. However, these investment costs can be offset by long running times and also by turnover calculation because of the consumables.
More and more often not only a belt filter or a centrifuge is required. More and more often, complete plants are required, which require combinations of both types. These plants can combine the best of both types to increase sustainability and process reliability in industry.
Centralized Systems
More and more companies in industry do not want a single cleaning system at every processing plant. They demand that central plants are built which have more flow and the cleaning quality is nevertheless constant. This means even higher investment costs for the companies, which will be worthwhile after some time.
Thanks to these possibilities of cleaning liquids, with the help of other cleaning methods, the life expectancy of industrial liquids can be increased many times over. Whenever companies need normal water and no oil or oil-water mixture, this purified water can easily be returned to rivers after continuous testing. This protects the environment and water can be reused more frequently. The challenges in cleaning these fluids are often that companies want cleaning for a variety of applications in a single plant. Since chips or abrasive removal behave differently in different fluids, each application must be individually tested and designed for process engineering. These cleaning systems are not only to be found in Europe, they are increasingly being sold in the Asian region. The regulations in the Asian region regarding the disposal of industrial liquids are becoming more and more similar to the European regulations, in some cases even more stringent. This development helps to constantly reduce the pollution of public waters.
Unfortunately, many companies see investment in the cleaning and reprocessing of industrial fluids as a forced investment. This although, causes a safe process, longer service life and less cost. Cleaning industrial fluids not only has a positive effect on the environment, but also helps companies guarantee a stable process.
To sum it up, although there is often no discussion about it, waste treatment in the industry, many companies are already aware that something needs to be done in this area. Grinding machines can hardly be bought without a cleaning system for the cooling lubricant. Unfortunately, however, there are still many companies that are not interested in the serious cleaning of cooling lubricants. In the future, the aim for companies should be to set a good example and take the environmental compatibility of their production even more seriously. To change the industry now and in the future, this is our goal; we help to reduce the constant contamination, because we build centrifuges and filtration system for more than 60 years.

Reading Tainter on collapse at the moment so here's a related excerpt for you:
Although this is a recent development, it has analogies in past collapses, and these analogies give insight into current conditions. Past collapses, as discussed, occurred among two kinds of international political situations: isolated, dominant states, and clusters of peer polities. The isolated, dominant state went out with the advent of global travel and communication, and what remains now are competitive peer polities . Even if today there are only two major peers, with allies grouped into opposing blocs, the dynamics of the competitive relations are the same. Peer polities, such as post Roman Europe, ancient Greece and Italy, Warring States China, and the Mayan cities, are characterized by competitive relations, jockeying for position, alliance formation and dissolution, territorial expansion and retrenchment, and continual investment in military advantage. An upward spiral of competitive investment develops, as each polity continually seeks to outmaneuver its peer(s). None can dare withdraw from this spiral, without unrealistic diplomatic guarantees, for such would be only an invitation to domination by another. In this sense, although industrial society (especially the United States) is sometimes likened in popular thought to ancient Rome, a closer analogy would be with the Mycenaeans or the Maya.

Know more about dehydration!
What is the most important thing which we tend to forget or simply ignore? WATER.
How many of us understand the importance of water? ALL OF US.
How many we actually take water seriously? VERY FEW.
I am sure, you might have heard that you must drink at least 2-3 liters of water or minimum 8 glasses every day but how many of us are religiously following it? Every one of us drinks water once we get the thirst feeling. If this is the case with you then that's not right.
Drinking water after you are thirsty is actually too late for your body to drink water.
Sometimes if you feel hungry, that's not really hunger. It might be thirst. People often mistake thirst with hunger and end up eating.
Always try and drink water first. Wait for a while and check if you are really hunger. If the hunger pangs still persist, go ahead and eat.
Signs of Dehydration:-
- Tiredness
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Irritation
- Headache
- Dry skin
- Dry mouth
- Water retention
- Excess cellulite
- Severe constipation
Clinical parameters which can be caused because of dehydration:-
- High cholesterol
- Confusion
- Vertigo
You should not forget- Your body is made up of 60% water.
Your body flushes out toxins with the help of water.
Water keeps most of the infections at bay!
You need water for everything- To produce your digestive enzymes, absorb essential water-soluble vitamins and minerals.
Your body helps in thermoregulation- Maintaining body temperature.
Your body loses about 3 liters of water during the winter season, just give it a thought-what it would be if this was summer season!
Everybody has its own body requirements. 2 liters is the standard one should have but it is highly personalized depending on the body composition, level of activity, physiological state, medical condition if any.
If you are highly dehydrated, you have low energy levels which reduces your metabolism?
What is metabolism?
It is a chemical process which helps in maintaining a healthy life!
This will either lead to weight gain or many other cardiovascular issues.
How to avoid dehydration?
- Keep a bottle handy with you.
- Keep a bottle in front of you.
- Use smaller bottles which makes you get from your place to fill it up. This will keep you active.
- Try to consume 800 ml to 1 lit of water every day once you wake up. You are highly dehydrated when you wake up which can be guessed from the color of your first urine!
- Keep sipping water throughout the day, don't wait to be thirsty!
- Consume foods rich in water like cucumber, watermelon.
- You can include herbal tea, buttermilk in your daily diet.
- If you are a coffee lover, you need to be a bit more careful about your hydration. Coffee is a diuretic. if you drink 1 cup of coffee then drink 2 glasses of water after that.
- If you drink alcohol, you need to drink more water. 1 glass of water immediately after consuming alcohol.
Keeping yourself hydrated has many benefits!

Soya or Soy sauce, usually called tamari or shoyu in Asian countries, is a salty condiment made by fermenting soya beans mixed with grains in a salty brine.
Most of the commercial "soy" sauce sold in the United States is a non-fermented, synthetic product made from defatted soybean meal and grains, mixed with chemicals. It should be noted that a harmful group of chemical contaminants known as chloropropanols (3- monochloropropane-1, 2-diol or 3-MCPD), is produced as a byproduct during the synthetic method of soya sauce manufacture. There are mixed reviews regarding the safety of chloropropanols.
True tamari or shoyu is an aged product, which takes almost a year to ripen and form its characteristic flavor. This natural process does not produce chloropropanols.
Therefore, it is best to select natural soya sauce. Remember that because of its high salt content, soya sauce can cause fluid retention and swelling.

Family Law is a broad area of law that includes many individual topics. These include separation and divorce, allocation of parental rights (including what are commonly called custody, visitation, and parenting time), child support and related financial matters including health insurance coverage and allocation of the dependency exemption, domestic violence, maintenance or spousal support, the use of prenuptial or antenuptial agreements, adoption, grandparent visitation rights, and conservatorship and guardianship actions regarding children.Mr. Frie does not practice family law, but Jim Arndt and Paul Danborn both have family law practices. While these attorneys may not practice every aspect of family law, either of them would be happy to talk with you about your concerns and see who could best be efficiently helpful.
These attorneys know and believe that family law problems can be among the most challenging for clients.

Our clients rely upon our firm for advice in the interpretation, negotiation, and drafting of contracts for various types of issues. We also represent clients involved in contract disputes.
Jim Arndt is developing a Mediation and Arbitration practice within the firm. Mr. Arndt's Mediation/Arbitration practice focuses on three primary areas, Real Estate, Family Law, and Homeowner Association/Community Association law. Within this practice he offers three approaches to what is commonly called Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR.
Mediation is a process by which the mediator tries to create an environment where all sides to the dispute have an opportunity to safely and constructively express themselves, working toward resolving the conflict by mutual agreement. A mediator typically provides no insight as to the legal correctness of any particular point of view, and has no power to make a decision for the parties.
A Settlement Conference is conducted much like a mediation, but, within certain parameters, Mr. Arndt also provides opinions about the likely outcome of any party's position should the matter proceed to trial.
Arbitration is a process resembling litigation or trial more than mediation. All parties try to persuade the arbitrator of the correctness of their position, and the arbitrator renders a decision for the parties that may or may not be binding.
Contact Jim Arndt if you have an interest in exploring the possibility of using one of these alternative methods to resolve any dispute to which you might be a party.

Sainsbury's has revealed a strong lack of faith in the British National Power Grid, when it was revealed this week that they have built a series of dedicated gas-fired power plants for use by their supermarkets. The decision to commission the private power plants, it was revealed, was fear of a looming energy crisis that the UK grid won't be able to handle.
Director of Sustainability at Sainsbury's, Paul Crewe, said that the worry over energy security "kept [him] up at night" and that he feared the UK's demand for electricity may soon outstrip the national grid's capacity to supply it.
The new power generators operate off of biogas generated by Sainsbury's waste food, and already supply all the electrical needs of 10 Sainsbury's locations, with a further 6 plants due to finish construction and come online this year. These power generators, Mr. Crewe says, will prove extremely valuable for Sainsbury's in the event of a blackout. Should power to an area be lost, they will be able to continue trading, and unless other supermarket giants begin to install private generators, they will be the only ones trading during the blackout.
Mr. Crewe doubled down on his doubt of the national grid at a press conference earlier this week, where he said the generators "give us energy security. Energy security is extremely important, it keeps me awake at night if I'm honest thinking about it – especially as we use just under one per cent of power in the UK. We know UK grid infrastructure is at an extremely stretching period of time."
He also raised concerns that the UK is too reliant on "interconnectors from Europe and gas from the Baltic States and Russia" for its energy.
"Having the ability to generate our own power at a local level gives us surety of supply at these locations as the availability of electricity becomes more stretched across the national grid infrastructure, with demand potentially outstripping supply in the near future," he said.
Continuing, he assured stockholders and customers alile that the new generators, which provide both electricity and heat for the supermarkets, will be profitable in their own right, and will help Sainsbury's fulfill its obligations to the environment sooner. They are an environmentally-friendlier option than any of the alternatives available to Sainsbury's, since their waste food, if it is not fit for human or animal consumption, is sent to biogas digestion plants to be converted into biogas. After that, the gas is pumped into the national gas grid, and Sainsbury's buys back an equivalent amount of gas for its power plants.
In response to his revelations, the Department of Energy and Climate Change released a statement reassuring customers that the National Grid was reliable and that the risks Sainsbury's are preparing for are minimal. A spokeswoman went on record saying "Keeping the lights on is non-negotiable. We will continue to work closely with National Grid and Ofgem to ensure hardworking families and businesses have access to secure and affordable energy supplies they can rely on."

Do you remember the last time I wrote about my visit to The Training Zone in Costa Mesa? Do you remember how I walked away feeling so empowered, ready to take on the world? Well, let's just say that this week I was lucky just to be able to walk out of there!
I had been looking forward to it all week; every day doing my exercises with the band that Sean had let me take home. I practiced my lunges, did my squat warm-ups, and made sure to suck in my stomach when doing the couch sit-ups. "You need to remember to breathe," was what kept me from passing out as I would often hold my breath while doing the sit-ups (even though they are done on a couch…lol).
The appointment time was set for Wednesday at noon. I know how important it is to be prompt so I left my house 45 minutes early to try to avoid traffic. This ensured that I arrived on time for my appointment with Sean. Sean. Sean. Where was Sean?
Joe was on the treadmill when I walked in and he was as excited to see me as I was to be there ready to sweat. I am not sure if he thought I wasn't going to show up—maybe, just maybe he thought that last week's workout scared me away. He leads me over to the treadmill machines and says to me, "Listen, Sean is not able to make it today but I thought that if I told you ahead of time, you may have wanted to reschedule and I really wanted you to get in here." Ok, no problem. In my head this just means that I can be on the treadmill for an hour and still get my walking in. No harm. No foul.
Except that wasn't Joe's plan for me. Attached to his iphone 5, on a little blue Post-it note of death, he listed the exercises that HE would be having me do in Sean's absence. "So I think that Sean took it a little easy on you last week and I won't be that easy. I think he was trying to see what you can do and I know you can do a little more," was the next sentence that came out of his mouth. There were three doors open in the gym: one directly in front of me, another directly behind me, and lastly, one in the treadmill room. Don't get me wrong, I seriously thought about running.
From a logistical standpoint, had I been Jason Bourne, the escape would have been simple; I would have thrown an object into the air, pointed to it, and by the time it fell on the ground I would have been in my car pulling in reverse. However, the issue is that I'm a tad bit too slow (and bulky) to pull a stealth move like that. Plus, the door in the treadmill room was not easy for me to get to, and the door behind me was semi-blocked by another one of the trainers, Trevor, who was busy in a session with a client.
After a few minutes of explanation on what we were going to do and how it was going to be timed, I was confident that the workout was not going to be something so outlandish that I would be crying throughout it.
Jumping isn't difficult. Lie. Jumping is more complex than it sounds. Truth. "Put your hands up in the air like this," as he demonstrates by putting his hands straight up towards the ceiling, "and just jump up with both feet at the same time." I couldn't help but laugh at myself as my pants were beginning to fall off of me. Down go my hands to save my pants from reaching my knees. This is so not my shining moment.
Next there was the line in the carpet that we used to switch off feet. One foot forward, then switch and bring the other forward. This went on for thirty seconds on then thirty seconds off. Here we are with the jumping again and me wearing my inappropriate pants. AKWARD. Then I begin to sweat like I had already been working out for two hours when in actuality it had been about two minutes. My body was seriously reacting to being put in motion!
What happened next shocked me. I watched Joe walk over to the corner of the gym and grab what to me looked like a small platform. Ok, so I will stand on top of it and do some of my Fandango moves (even though I brought the wrong shoes) is what I thought. But somehow I didn't think that dancing on the box was the goal for the day. The exercise involved me stepping one foot at a time on the box, and one foot at a time off the box, and whichever was the last foot to step off the box would lead the next round. I know this sounds really confusing. I usually write pretty clearly, but if after 24 hours it still is not very clear what I did on that box, it's safe to say that I probably wouldn't be able to do it again even if Elmer Fudd was standing in front of me with his rifle confusing me for Bugs Bunny while saying, "Do it, you darn wabbit!"
Every time an exercise would be over, Joe would refer to that little blue Post-it note of death for whatever was next on the list. I never got the opportunity to look at that list. If I did, I am pretty sure that all it said on there was the following:
1) Let her know Sean won't be there
2) Get her walking (faster than Sean would) on the treadmill
3) Make her sweat
4) Make her jump
5) Make her swear
6) Make it so she hates me in the morning
7) Get the box and test her coordination
8) Kettle bells
9) Make her sweat
10) Use resistance bands the width of an elephant's tail
11) Remind her that it's ok to sweat. A lot.
12) Tell her she needs to come back tomorrow when Sean is here
Maybe I should ask him to send me a picture of it just to cross-reference his list with mine. Mine is pretty accurate. Yep. It is.
When my workout was over, I was pretty sure that I had lost at least a pound in sweat. I could not believe the way my body felt (alive!) and that it was capable of actually doing what he kept asking me to do. In the back of my mind I kept hope alive that Sean would come flying through that door with a red cape and say, "I thought you said you were going to take it easy on her!" But he never flew through. Perhaps he doesn't even own a red cape.
How did I feel when I woke up this morning? I thought you would never ask. I felt like I wanted to scream. I felt like I wanted to cut my arms and legs off and just roll around using the body parts that didn't hurt…but then that would only leave me with my head and my heart. Because you see, my head was very clear. My head knew why my body was sore and my heart was thankful for it.
My head knew the value of friendship and what Joe did for me yesterday even though he probably had a million other things that he could have been doing. My heart overflowed with gratitude that despite the sweat falling, and my pants falling, and my lack of coordination, never once did he let me stop believing that I could finish the exercises he asked me to do. And that, my friends and blog readers, is worth MORE than its weight in platinum.
Before we left he asked me if I could come back the following day (today) to do a session with Sean, the original trainer. I jumped on the opportunity and told him that I would make it happen. The little voice inside my head was silently thanking the stars for bringing Sean back; he was much easier on me the week before and my pants didn't fall with the exercises he made me do.
I went back today. However, my arms are about ready to fall off and you will have to wait until this weekend when I can function normally again.
I learned a very important lesson today: be careful what you ask for. Part two, which shall be appropriately titled, "The awakening of Sean," will be coming very soon!
Life is good…sore butt, sore arms, sore thighs and all!
Is it just me, or are those resistance bands as thick as an elephant's tail?

Researchers recently conducted a study about pubic hair at two public universities in the U.S.: a large one in the Midwest, and a small one in the South.
They gathered data from 1,100 college-student participants (671 self-reported women, and 439 self-reported men), analyzed the responses, and published their findings in a recent issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
They asked the study participants questions about their pubes, their pubic hair preferences in a partner, and their sexual behavior, among other things.
The study doesn't reflect how all people in the United States treat their pubes, but the findings are still pretty interesting. Especially the findings about men's pubic hair removal (a fairly new topic of study), and what people preferred in their partners, which hadn't been extensively covered before, according to one of the study authors, Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., author of The Coregasm Workout (Seal Press, 2015), in an email to BuzzFeed Life.
Here are some of the researchers' findings:
1. Men were more likely than women to report keeping a fully natural bush over the past four weeks.
Stats: 13% of men and 4% of women reported not trimming or removing any hair during the time period.
2. On the other side of the spectrum, nearly half the men in the study said they'd shaved off ALL their pubic hair at least once in the previous four weeks.
3. Approximately 95% of people in the study said they'd done some sort of hair removal at least once in the past four weeks.
That could mean anything, though, from minor trimming to going totally bald, all day every day.

Title: Needlestick Injuries Among Health Care Workers
Type: Pie Chart with 9 segments
Speaker Notes:
...nurses are the most frequently injured in hospitals. Nurses reported almost 50% of the 3,552 exposures. The reasons for this high percentage include the larger number of nurses employed in the hospital setting as compared to other groups, the higher rate of reporting compliance, and the high proportion of nursing tasks which involve needles. Physicians rank second in number of exposures at 12.6%. Nursing assistants and housekeepers/laundry workers report 5.3% and 5.1% of the exposures respectively. The large "other" category in this pie chart includes students, respiratory therapists, dental workers, emergency personnel, IV teams, dialysis workers, and other "others".

Change Map for Self-directed Support
Scottish Government commissioned research into the ongoing national monitoring and evaluation of self-directed support (SDS). As part of that research stakeholders were invited to become involved in work around the theory of Change. This Change Map was developed. We are using the map as part of the work to develop a new implementation plan as a means of understanding what needs to change; what is currently working well; what needs to change and who is best placed to do it.
Research from CCPS
New research from CCPS (carried out by Strathclyde University) into the barriers and enablers for Self-directed Support implementation has been published. This time they were focusing on what is happening in local authorities. You can read it here:

What's human nature anyway? It's the fundamental human behavior that is, believed to be invariant over long periods of time and across very different cultural contexts [Source: Wiki]. Well, that's the general definition, but sometimes the politically incorrect truth about human nature can be an eye opener to what we are used to hear (the politically correct version).
What Bill Gates have in common with criminals… the "age-genius curve" is essentially the same as the age-crime curve… Both crime and genius are expressions of young men's competitive desires
- Psychology Today
I've never realize there's such a thing called the "age-genius curve" and the "age-crime curve" previously, but it certainly makes sense when we look at the statistic. I guess its man's competitive nature to succeed and to impress the opposite sex, be it for the good or the dark side. Reflecting on this statement, I think I'm part of this "curve" too. Let's just hope I could ride on the "curve" as it peaks to achieve great things in life.
Most women benefit from polygyny, while most men benefit from monogamy
- Psychology Today
This quote may seem contradictory to the common perception of many societies about polygyny. But the psychologist certainly has a point, if we're living in a polygyny society, only men with wealth, status and power would be able to have several wives. While the rest of the men will remain single and unmarried. Guess I'm glad to be living (as a man) in a monogamy society.
Anyway, there's many more politically incorrect truth about human nature at Psychology Today which I shall not highlight here to avoid getting myself into trouble – it's politically incorrect after all.
