Bikes and Birds Part Two
By admin on November 25, 2015
The blog earlier in the year (click here to read) explained how Pete Murray and Les Bowler were travelling by motorcycle through Spain to the Pyrenees to join the "Tour des Cols".On their way they would visit the Urdaibai Bird Centre and reserve in Northern Spain . This is their story and Osprey 30's in September 2015.
In the shadow of Osprey 30
In late summer Osprey 30 grew restless. On the 31st August 2015, on a dismal late summer day, she set off, crossed the English Channel by mid-afternoon, and spent her first night in Normandy. Unlike our motorcycle trip, she had no spares, no travel insurance, didn't need any documents or ferry tickets to sort out. Her only baggage is the miniature satellite transponder which allows us to track her position, speed and altitude and to follow her day to day activity but more important her migration.
On the same day that 30 headed south, Les and I packed our motorcycle gear and got ready to leave the UK for a tour in the Pyrenees. Les was riding his 1959 BMW and I was taking a 1979 Moto Guzzi and our journey would begin with a visit the Urdaibai Bird Centre where Osprey 30 should make landfall in northern Spain after crossing the Bay of Biscay, that is assuming she followed the same route that we had tracked on her migration the previous year. Unfortunately for us, 30 had a head start and Les and I had a ferry to catch, and we were also relying on two rather aged motorcycles as means of transport.Our road journey took us to Portsmouth where 30 had left England to cross the channel, and she was already averaging a flying speed of about 40mph. Meanwhile on the Portsmouth to Santander ferry our progress was more leisurely and on a beautiful evening we watched England fade into the distance as seabirds wheeled overhead. As night fell our boat made steady progress west of France and into the Bay of Biscay. We did not see any migrating ospreys on our journey south even though many follow a similar route across the Bay of Biscay, and according to tracking data ospreys can be as little as 10 or 20m above the waves.
What we did see at daybreak on our journey was a huge fin whale breaching the surface right next to the ship! On board the Cap Finistere were a volunteer whale watching team from "Orca", an international cetacean study charity. I suggested to them that they should keep an eye out for ospreys, but it would be quite difficult to distinguish ospreys with the so many sea birds around the ship.
Osprey 30 had an epic flight on her second day. From Normandy she went due south crossing the Bay of Biscay and crossed the Spanish coast at Urdaibai at 2pm, but instead of stopping, she pushed on into northern Spain clocking 831 km in a long 14 hour day. She managed a creditable average of 36mph, but meanwhile on the Cap Finistere ferry we experienced a more leisurely 18-20mph! Osprey 30 then carried on south the next day.
We disembarked from the ferry on a warm sunny evening and spent our first night just outside Bilbao. We enjoyed the setting sun on our terrace and enjoyed a locally made empanada and a mixed salad for tea. No doubt 30 had fish- if she could find any.
By dawn osprey 30 was miles away, but we had planned a motorcycle route through the rural Basque country to the Udaibai Bird Centre where 30 had crossed the coast. The coast of this part of northern Spain is very rugged with a patchwork of agricultural land at lower levels rising up to oak and pine forest on the hillsides. The roads we took east climbed and descend a great deal and on the bikes we made nothing like 30's average flying speeds. Traffic was sparse and we made good progress.
A little after 1pm we pulled in to the Urdaibai Bird Centre car park. We were met by Xarles and Edorta from the centre whom I had only "met" before using during the Rutland Ospreys skype links with them in World Osprey Week in the Spring.The Urdaibai Biosphere reserve is located in a large estuary surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills. Because of its position and aspect, it is an area of international importance for migrating and resident bird species on the northern Spanish coast, with many important habitats including salt and fresh water wetland.
At the south side of the reserve, a modern visitor centre facility which has been constructed using the structure of an old fish canning factory- so the ospreys would approve. The lower level is the main visitor area with displays, some multiscreen video presentation suites, which explain about the Urdaibai wetlands and the many facets of the reserve, its importance and its conservation projects. At the northern end of the building are large viewing areas on two levels over the over the reserve. Telescopes, cameras and audio feeds from the wetlands allow many ways to experience this magnificent site. A climb up the "tower" gives a third story view over the reserve.
On the second level is the staff kitchen with accommodation for the volunteers. Les and I expected a floor to sleep on. Not so, as we were each taken to our own "volunteer" room each with its own facilities!
Ikr from the local Montorre and Urretxindorra Schools arrived, and with Xarles we were taken on a VIP tour of the area. On a sunny warm day we drove out past the impressive Castle and from the road followed a woodland track high up above the eastern side of the reserve. We left the car and walked up a steep track through the oak forest to the church and old fortifications on the summit. Far below you could see just how large the wetland is, with a patchwork of habitats.Our hosts took us to a busy local restaurant for lunch, serving delicious traditional Basque food. Xarles told us about the 5 year osprey reintroduction project at Urdaibai. This is now in its third year, with collaboration from the Scottish Government and Highland Foundation for Wildlife. With special permission Roy Dennis and his team have "translocated" osprey chicks from Scotland to this Spanish reserve and once released these birds then consider Urdaibai as their home. Once mature, the male ospreys should return from Africa, attract mates and set up nest sites in Urdaibai so that in the future ospreys will recolonise this ideal location. The really good news is that Urdaibai have had their first returns of 3 year old translocated birds in 2015 and with observation on site and the data from the satellite tracking of some of these birds we can understand their day to day behaviour and follow their movements and migration routes.
In the afternoon after circumnavigating the beautiful coastal area coast we went to see the area where the young ospreys had been released and had the wonderful sight of an osprey "fly by" and another perched on a pole in the wetland about 100 yards away.September not only is a month when ospreys migrate south to Africa, it is also when many of the volunteers, project officers and assistants take on other roles for the winter. We were lucky to be invited to the final "get together" at the local community centre for a convivial traditional meal which began with an introduction to the traditional game of "Basque pelota" – they had a court in the centre, but probably luckily for us we did not have time to set it up and play! (It does look a very energetic and potentially hazardous game) Local traditional foods including bread, vegetables and salads, fish cooked in two different ways, and some delicious sweets showed the culinary skills of many people associated with the Urdaibai project. It was a great experience.
The following day after enjoying a spectacular view of the reserve at dawn and a final look around, we said our goodbyes just before lunch, and set off to join the start our motorcycle "Tour des Cols" which began 150 miles or so to the east in the Spanish Pyrenees. This 'bike tour over the next 10 days would take us to many landmarks and over many mountain passes or "cols", and cover about 1500miles, before we returned to the UK.Meanwhile in half that time osprey 30 had flown the length of Spain, crossed the Mediterranean, gone over the Atlas Mountains and then the Sahara Desert, and finally gone to her overwintering site in Senegal. Coincidentally her flight from Spain to Senegal was also distance of around 1500 miles but due south.
Our visit to Urdaibai was a wonderful start to our motorcycle trip and we heard when we got home that the tracking data from their Osprey "Mandella" had told them that on the 23rd of September Mandella had reached Cape Vert, close to Dakar, the capital of Senegal. From here he moved into the Ferlo River area where he will be based until his migration north back to Urdaibai next spring.
Our thanks to all at Urdaibai for their welcome, hospitality, and sharing their enthusiasm for their reserve. We also would like to thank Osprey 30 for guiding us to our friends who have a common interest in ospreys around 1000 miles to the south of Rutland– yet only 5 days as the osprey flies!

Willow and woodland
By admin on November 24, 2015
The Monday team were working hard again at Lyndon yesterday, and what a great day it was! The weather forecast predicted rain all day, but we were very lucky once again and it was a beautiful day. The morning dawned to the first frost of the year, and, whilst it was chilly, it remained dry throughout the day. Lots of hard work, plus the large fire, helped to keep everyone warm!
We were working near the shoreline, coppicing a large block of dense Willow trees. The larger trees were cut down with chainsaws, whilst some smaller trees could be tackled with bowsaws and loppers. A fire was started in a safe position, and a lot of the cut brash was burnt. Larger materials such as logs were stacked in log piles, which make superb habitats for insects and support fungi, moss and lichen growth.
The purpose of coppicing is to open up the area, creating more space around mature trees, and also letting a greater amount of light penetrate to the woodland floor, facilitating the growth of wild flowers in the ground layer. Coppicing creates a varied age and height structure in a woodland, which supports a wide variety of species. For example, the growth of wild flowers attracts bees and other insects, which then provide food for birds etc, and when the coppice stools begin to re-grow, the shorter growth is a great nesting habitat for breeding warblers and other song birds. We aim to coppice a lot of the riparian (waterside) woodland that exists along the shore of Rutland Water on the Lyndon Nature Reserve. Coppicing different sections in alternate years leads to a greater diversity of habitat, and consequently a greater species richness.
There is still a lot of work to do in the section we were working in yesterday, and, as such, we will continue working there next Monday. Look out for photographs of the completed task next week!

A clearer outlook
By admin on November 17, 2015
The weather was brilliant again yesterday for our Monday work party at the Lyndon Nature Reserve! The team were busy once again, cutting back over-hanging and encroaching vegetation, taking out some small trees and bushes, and removing the reams of reeds in front of Tufted Duck Hide.
The purpose of all this hard work was to open up the area in front of the hide, and improve the view. You can see the benefits of the work we did from these great before and after shots!
And here's a lovely clear photograph of Paul's favourite tree!
Thank you to everyone who joined us today, it was a great job done! Thanks as always to Paul and Jan for the delicious soup and cakes!
All of the above photographs were taken by Paul Stammers.

33's tale
By admin on November 15, 2015
33(11) has always been a strong character, ever since he hatched on 25th May 2011. He was born at Site B – his parents are the legendary 03(97) and the unringed female with whom 03 has been breeding since 2009.
33 was the only chick at Site B that year, as the nest suffered intensive intrusions early in the season from a non-breeding male. The female was forced to leave the eggs uncovered for long periods to chase the intruder away, and, as such, it was feared the entire clutch would fail. Therefore it was a huge relief that one chick survived. As he was the only chick in the nest, 33 did not have to compete for food or share it with siblings, and was consequently very well fed. He grew quickly into a strong, healthy juvenile.
33 fledged on 15th July 2011 (exactly the same date his son, S1, fledged this year!) Not long after he fledged, 33 became very adventurous. He was often seen tussling with newly-fledged Buzzards near his nest site. He also began venturing further and further away from the nest. Just two weeks after fledging, 33 disappeared for 26 hours! No-one knows where he went, but fortunately he returned safely. One day, (31st July) he even spent an afternoon on the Manton Bay nest, where he was treated as one of their brood!
33 returned to Rutland for the first time as a two-year-old on 11th May 2013. He was first spotted in Manton Bay, by Project Officer Paul Stammers and volunteer Mick Lewin, then later was seen back at his natal nest, Site B. In 2014, we all know what 33 did! He returned on 13th April and immediately began pestering Maya and 28(10) in Manton Bay. He did not give up until he chased 28 away and claimed the nest.
This year was a much happier story, with 33 and Maya raising three beautiful chicks together. 33 proved himself to be a very sweet and attentive Osprey. He appeared to enjoy spending time on the nest, more so than other males I have monitored. He was very into his incubating, even to the extent that if Maya didn't move, he'd just join her!
He even sometimes plonked himself down in the nest when there was no incubating to be done!
33 was a brilliant partner to Maya and incredibly good at providing fish for his growing family! He has provided us with much entertainment and delight over the season. We are all incredibly happy that Maya and 33 returned to Manton Bay and bred successfully, and we hope they continue to breed here together in future years.

The Story of Maya
By admin on November 4, 2015
Pronunciation – My-ah / M-eye-ah / Mi-yah
What we know of Maya comes from after she arrived at Rutland Water, as she is not a bird who was born here. Maya is an unringed female Osprey, who first came to Rutland Water in 2009, and stayed for that summer. We presume that, being unringed, Maya originates from Scotland, and was attracted to Rutland Water on her way back to her natal grounds. Maya did not arrive until June, which suggests she was a two-year-old returning to the UK for the first time.
Maya spent the summer of 2009 on the artificial nest on Lagoon 4, bonding with a Rutland-fledged male Osprey, 32(05). 32 was a four-year-old bird, born in Rutland in 2005, and was from the same clutch as our satellite-tagged female, 30(05). The pair did not breed, but both returned in 2010. Unfortuntately, that was the year in which two male Ospreys went missing suspiciously from Rutland, and 32(05) was one of them. Left alone, Maya began to look elsewhere for a mate, and she came across a lovely nest with a male holding territory on it. The nest was in Manton Bay, and the male was the now well-known 5R(04), a Rutland-fledged bird.
At the time, Maya did not have a name. She was always referred to as the Manton Bay Unringed Female, or some combination thereof. Over the next few seasons, this became tiresome, and we decided it would be much easier to talk about her, write about her and for people to relate to her if she had a name. It took a lot of discussion, not least as to whether we should name her at all, but also as to what to name her. Eventually we settled on Maya. Not only is it a lovely name, but it contains the first and last two letters in Manton Bay, albeit in a slightly different order. Also, Maya comes from the Greek Maia, who was the goddess of spring.
In 2010, Maya and 5R successfully raised three healthy chicks. Over the next three years, the pair raised another eight. Maya and 5R have a high return rate of their offspring (45{aebb832937d1885646bba593f8f1074bbe61a552c8a5f5d60514d6f049ed1f58}), as five of their young have since returned to Rutland!
In 2014, unfortunately, 5R failed to return to Rutland. Those of you who followed the Manton Bay nest in 2014 will know this story. After weeks of anxious waiting, we came to realise, as did Maya, that he was not going to come back. Maya found a new partner in 28(10), a Rutland-fledged male, and she laid three eggs. But no sooner had the third been laid, the nest suffered persistent intrusions from 33(11), another Rutland male, who wanted the nest for himself. Eventually, 33 chased 28 away from his nest, and kicked out the eggs. After a while, 33 and Maya formed a bond, but it was too late to breed. It must have been a terribly confusing season for poor Maya, having been incubating eggs only to have them disappear, and not being able to raise chicks.
The tale has a happy ending, though – in 2015, both Maya and 33 returned to Manton Bay and bred successfully! We hope that at least one of their three chicks – S1, S2 & S3 – will return to the area in 2017.
As we see Maya every day on the live webcam, we have come to know her very well as an individual. All Ospreys have unique, distinguishing characteristics, and Maya can easily be identified by the distinct markings on her head and face, in particular the cross that is visible on the back of her head. Also, every Osprey is individual in the ways in which they behave, and react to certain situations, though of course there are always generic similarities.
Maya is, as all Ospreys are, an extremely good mother, and is so very gentle when she is around her young. She knows just what they need, and is right there to give it to them 24/7, whether it be protection from the elements, protection from danger or satisfying their hunger. Even as they get older, and she spends less time on the actual nest with them, she still watches protectively over them. It was wonderful to watch her keeping an eye on them at fledging time – she accompanied each chick as they made their first flights, flying with them as though marshalling them and ensuring they were ok.
Maya doesn't tend to stick to a reliable timetable when returning in the spring, and her return dates vary widely between 17th March and 6th April. We were all rather worried this season that she wasn't going to return at all! The relief we all felt when she did is indescribable. Click here for that story!
In terms of leaving in the autumn, Maya bucks the trend of females being the first to migrate. In fact, she has never left first in all the years she has bred, and always waits until at least one chick has departed. This year, she was the last to leave, on 3rd September, and even 33 went before her. She was also the last to leave in 2011.
Something that we know about Maya is that she absolutely hates Egyptian Geese! She has good reason to, as they always try to steal her nest in the spring. She often enjoys chasing them around – here are some brilliant shots taken by John Wright this season!
Maya also took a dislike to a Grey Heron this season…
Maya is a beautiful, brilliant Osprey, and has now raised 14 chicks in her five years of breeding in Manton Bay. She has provided us with a fabulous insight into the nature of Osprey motherhood over the six seasons we have watched her. She has also provided us with some excellent entertainment! (See above). Whilst it would be nice to know the details of Maya's history before she arrived in Rutland – where she was born, who her parents were etc – we must accept that this is knowledge we are never going to be privy to. Wherever she came from, we are happy that she is here, and we hope that she will breed in Manton Bay for many years to come.

Beginning tonight, public television stations in the United States will broadcast a four-part series from economist and historian Niall Ferguson, The Ascent of Money. This is an expanded version of a documentary that first aired in January.
Here's a description of The Ascent of Money from the official site:
For millions of people, the recession has generated a thirst for knowledge about how our global economic system really works, especially when so many financial experts seem to be equally baffled. In THE ASCENT OF MONEY, economist, author and historian Ferguson offers insight into these questions by taking viewers step-by-step through the milestones of the financial history that created this system, visiting the locations where key events took place and poring over actual ledgers and documents — such as the first publicly traded share of a company — that would change human history.
Ferguson maintains that the history of money is indeed at the core of our human history, with economic strength determining political dominance, wars fought to create wealth and individual financial barons determining the fates of millions.
Apparently, PBS will also be posting each episode online for free. The first installment, "From Bullion to Bubbles", is already available. I watched it this morning. It's fascinating.
Ferguson suggests that financial history is the fundamental background to all history. "From Mesopotamia right down to day, the ascent of Money has been an indispensable part of the ascent of Man," he says, adding: "Without the invention of credit, the entire economic history of our world would have been impossible."
What I find especially interesting about The Ascent of Money is the way in which it ties together bits of history that are largely unrelated in my mind. It's sort of like Connections, but solely about money. (I knew some of these things from The Four Pillars of Investing, but The Ascent of Money paints a broader picture.)
The first part of The Ascent of Money was interesting enough that I plan to watch the other three episodes as they're made available online. To be honest, though, I felt like the narrative wandered at times. I'm curious if the original two-hour version (already available on DVD) might not be more effective.
If you're interested in this show, you can check the PBS website to see when it airs on your local public television station. (Here in Portland, the four parts air Wednesday nights at 9pm starting today.) You might also try to watch some similar shows from the past, including:
- Frontline: The Farmer's Wife (my review) — This program is excellent!
- Nova: Secrets of Making Money (where "making" means "manufacturing" in a literal sense)
- The History Channel: The History of Money in the United States
- Frontline: The Secret History of the Credit Card (my review)
Did anyone catch The Ascent of Money when the original version was broadcast in January? What did you think? And am I the only one around here fascinated by the history of money?

PragPub for September
We have two meaty articles in PragPub this month, plus some tasty side dishes.
Paul Callaghan returns with another article on the Haskell language. According to Wikipedia, "The language is rooted in the observations of Haskell Curry and his intellectual descendants, that 'a proof is a program; the formula it proves is a type for the program.'" Paul shows you what that means in this deep but engaging article. He shows you how Haskell deals with types, but he goes beyond that to explore just how much sophisticated intelligence can be encoded in a type specification. And from there he goes on to the relationships among testing and types and proofs. It's quite a ride.
Alexander Demin has appeared in our pages before, with an article on concurrency in Google's Go language in June and an article on building a CPU with only one instruction in March. He's back this month with something a little more conventional: a step-by-step walkthrough on writing an app for the iPhone. What makes it a little different is that although Alexander is an experienced developer, he had never before written an iOS app, or even written anything in Objective-C. So the article is also about a developer trying out a new language and environment and sharing his experience by sharing his code. We think this kind of article can be educational in a slightly different way from the platform expert showing how it's done. Let us know what you think.
Meanwhile, Mike Nygard tells another story of his adventures trying to keep large websites up and running. This time it's a site that went down every morning at 5 A.M. Your editor has another glimpse into personal computer history, with three snapshots from the life of Chris Espinosa, who has been at Apple all of its life and most of his own.
And John Shade weighs in on the Apple-Samsung lawsuit decision.

Ask the Vet: Should I vaccinate my dog for Leptospirosis?
Written by Dr. Melissa Magnuson
Answer: The quick answer is YES! Let me explain why. Leptospirosis is a bacterium found in water, soil and food. It survives well in the soil and water and unless it freezes or is exposed to direct sunlight—it grows and spreads in the environment. Wildlife, mostly raccoons, skunks and rats are most susceptible to leptospirosis and they carry it in their urine. Our dogs can come in contact with the urine of wildlife without even knowing it! Most of the wildlife that carries leptospirosis hide from people and come out at night so we have no idea where these animals are eliminating. Our dogs walk in the woods, play in bushes, dig up the soil and NEVER WEAR SHOES! So they are very susceptible to picking this organism up on their feet. When they clean their feet, they can ingest it or if they have a small cut on their feet, it can infect this way as well.
If your dog is infected with leptospirosis, it affects the kidneys and liver and causes failure. Yes kidney and liver failure and sometimes it is NOT reversible. Dogs that are infected will exhibit these signs of illness: fever, depression, loss of appetite, joint pain, nausea, excessive drinking, jaundice and sometimes bleeding. Dogs can be tested for Leptospirosis and treated, however, even with treatment, 50% will die.
You are also susceptible to leptospirosis as once your dog is shedding the bacteria in the urine, if you come in contact with the urine, you can become infected as well. People will have the same signs of illness as their dogs and will require hospitalization to treat the kidney and liver failure.
The best option is prevention. There is a vaccine for leptospirosis that prevents infection of 4 serovars (or types called canicola, grippotyphosa, pomona and icterohaemorragiae.) Some vaccines only prevent 2 types but ask your veterinarian for the vaccine that prevents 4 types. Your dog will be protected from the most common types of leptospirosis. Vaccination for leptospirosis often will cause a dog to not feel well afterwards (be lethargic, run a low grade fever and be painful at the injection site) for 24 hours. This is a normal response; it is not an adverse reaction to the vaccine but a normal vaccine reaction. When you or an animal is vaccinated with a bacterin-type vaccine (like leptospirosis or tetanus in people) you will not feel well because your body is building antibodies to protect you in the future. Other forms of prevention are staying away from areas where raccoons, skunks and rats congregate. Keep your dog away from ponds and standing water. Finally be sure to always wash your hands well after handling any urine or feces from your pet.

Influence of interaction between Ipomoea asarifolia L. (Desr.) and Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. on soil physical properties was investigated at Biological Garden, Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto Nigeria. Soil samples (0-20 cm depth) were collected before and after the experiments and analyzed using appropriate field and laboratory techniques. The data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using SAS statistical package (SAS, 2003). Results have shown improvement in soil texture from sand to loamy sand, with significant increase (P< 0.05) in silt (8.23 to 10.52%), clay (2.07 to 4.05%), porosity (19.40 to 28.50%) and particle density (2.17 to 2.24%) under I. asarifolia inhabited soil. Similar treatment with C. dactylon had also improved the soil texture from sand to loamy sand particularly under thick Cynodon cover, with significant increase (P< 0.05) in soil moisture content. Soil moisture content increased significantly (P< 0.05) (1.83 to 2.25%), along with particle density (2.17 to 2.24 mgkg-1). Interaction of the soil particles with mineral nutrients in the soil and organic matter deposits from the two cover crops may have improved the soil physical properties including aggregate stability, aeration, infiltration and water holding capacity. Maintaining a mixture of the two cover crops between cropping seasons is therefore recommended in the study area for improvement of the soil properties and sustainable agricultural productivity.
Key words: Interaction, influence, herbaceous cover crops, soil physical properties, sudan savanna, Nigeria, Ipomoea asarifolia, Cynodon dactylon

The comments came from the president of the federal Energy Plannig Company (EPE) Maurício Tolmasquim.
"The studies are being carried out," he told reporters at the Brazil Wind Energy Conference. "The fact that future power needs have been contracted means that model is a success."
Brazil holds several types of power auctions annually, giving developers one, three or five years to build and deliver the power to distirbution companies. The A-3 auction aims to contract power for January 2015.
Brazil's economic growth, however, has declined from 7.5% in 2010 to 2.7% in 2011 reducing demand for power.
Additionally, tha A-5 auction in 2010 also helped guarantee supply for 2015. Since 2005, when the auctions started, 77% of Brazil's 61.5GW power-supply need through 2020 has been contracted said Tolmasquim.

Today i want to share this baby card i made with my new Avery Elle stamp set: Special Delivery.
Here's it..
How cute is that stork with the little baby as a special delivery?! I totally fell in love with it! :)
I stamp all the images, i colored them with copics and then i fussy cut them leaving a litlte white border. I cut the card base out of some lilac cardstock and my panel out of some white cardstock using one of the stitched rectangles dies by Lawn Fawn. I colored my background spinging some Tumbled Glass distress ink and i adhered all my pieces down. I used foam tape for the stork and the banner to make them pop!
Here's a detail of my card..
Finally i added some details with a white gel pen to all my images and created this soft polka-dots pattern on the bundle.
Hope you like my project and thank u so much for stopping by today! :)

Mike Rumbles MSP is encouraging all North East Higher students to take part in the Political Studies Association (PSA)'s Schools' Video Competition, now in its seventh year.
In a letter to all four local authorities (Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen City, Angus and Dundee City) , Mr Rumbles urged them to make use of this opportunity to promote political engagement.
A highlight in the PSA's calendar of activities to engage young people in the study of politics, the annual film competition, sponsored by YouGov, is open to post-16 students who will be studying during the academic year 2017-18.
Mr Rumbles said: "We should recognise the importance of engaging young people in politics and that is why I have written to all of the North East Directors of Education. Exercises such as this are a great way to get our young people engaged in politics. I'd encourage all students to take part in this competition and submit their ideas and videos. And for all those who do, I wish them the best of luck!"
This year's competition asks students to explore the question: "Fake News: Is this the end of facts?".

Cremation for Catholics in the Diocese of Victoria
News / Events
Cremation for Catholics in the Diocese of Victoria in Texas
As Christians, we profess faith in the incarnation of the Word made flesh and His bodily resurrection, which we will share on the Last Day. We are reminded of the words of Saint Paul who wrote to the Corinthians: "You must know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is with the Spirit you have received from God. You are not your own. You have been purchased, and at a price. So Glorify God in your Body". (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
Q1: Does the Church allow cremation of the body?
A1: Yes, Catholics may choose cremation, provided it in no way expresses a denial of the Catholic teaching of dignity in regards to the human body, created by Almighty God to be a temple of the Holy Spirit and destined to share fully in the Resurrection of the just on the Last Day.
Although the Church understands that certain circumstances and preferences may exist for individuals or relatives to seek cremation, she maintains, as a first preference, the funeral rites with the body present and its immediate burial in a cemetery.
Q2: What is the first step in considering cremation?
A2: Catholic faithful are encouraged to seek the counsel of their pastor, before choosing cremation.
Q3: If cremation is chosen, when should the body be cremated?
A3: The Church recommends that the body be cremated after the funeral, thus allowing for the presence of the body at the funeral Mass. When pastoral circumstances require it, however, cremation and committal may take place even before the funeral liturgy.
Priests in the Diocese of Victoria can grant permission for cremated remains to be present at the funeral Mass.
Q4: How should the final disposition of the cremated remains be handled?
A4: The final disposition of cremated remains should always reflect the Christian belief in the bodily resurrection and the respect afforded to the human body, even after death.
Q5: What is the proper method for final disposition of the cremated remains?
A5: The Church recommends that the burial or entombment of the cremated remains occur without delay, once the cremation process is completed.
Cremated remains are to be placed in an urn (or other suitable container) and either buried in the ground or at sea, or entombed in a columbarium.
Catholics are strongly encouraged to be buried or entombed in a Catholic cemetery or the Catholic section of a non-Catholic cemetery.
Q6: What practices for handling cremated remains are to be avoided?
A6: The practice of scattering cremated remains on the sea, from the air, or on the ground, or keeping cremated remains in the home of a relative or friend of the deceased are not the reverent disposition the Church requires. Such methods of disposing of cremated remains are inconsistent with the due respect and honor that the Church wants to preserve for her departed children.
Q7: Can cremated remains be divided or combined with those of others?
A7: No. Each urn is to contain the cremated remains of only one person. The cremated remains of one person is not to be divided, but rather are always kept in the same urn.
Q8: Can cremated remains be buried at sea?
A8: Yes, the cremated remains of the body may be properly buried at sea in the urn, coffin or other container in which they have been carried to the place of committal.

People's Voice meeting tackles social issues
(Please note: A follow-up meeting to this meeting will be taking place in Cass Lake, Minnesota on July 10, 2012, tentatively scheduled for 5pm)
Published June 24, 2012, 12:00 AM
People's Voice meeting tackles social issues
BEMIDJI – Poverty, health and corruption were the most common concerns spoken about at the People's Voice meeting held Saturday at the People's Choice Church.
By: Brian Matthews, Bemidji Pioneer
BEMIDJI – Poverty, health and corruption were the most common concerns spoken about at the People's Voice meeting held Saturday at the People's Choice Church.
"I think half of this board is filled with solutions and half of it is filled with problems," said Curtis Buckanaga, an organizer of the event.
"I think we need to focus on the solutions and not pay too much attention to the problems. The problems are there, what are we going to do about them? That's what we need to do, we can't let them discourage us.
The purpose of the event was for people to have the opportunity to share their concerns of the reservations and the surrounding community life.
In doing so, a bulletin board was created, filled with areas of concern. Some of the issues addressed included poverty, racism, sovereignty, health care, affirmative action and many more.
"In my opinion I see these concerns being symptoms of very large aspects of our society," Buckanaga said. "One major one would be poverty. I see poverty playing into the hands of a lot of people and giving these symptoms to them.
The group in attendance, which was made up of priests, pastors, native and non-native people and other leaders in the community attempted to narrow the list into three areas of focus.
The debate went in circles, with many various opinions on the wording of these focus areas, but the group settled on poverty, health and corruption as the areas that the local community needs to focus on improving.
Buckanaga said he would have liked to see more representation from members of the Leech Lake, Red Lake and White Earth reservations as well as more participation from political leaders who were unable to attend, but said this meeting is the first of many to be held to begin addressing the issues mentioned.
"I am not discouraged that this is not a well attended," Buckanaga said. "This is the first of many events that we are going to have to bring people together. I understand how people want to see some action now but it's going to take a little bit. You have to be dedicated to this."

Alonso: AVENGERS VS. X-MEN Changes the Marvel Universe
Axel Alonso was announced as Marvel editor-in-chief in January 2011, making current 12-part series Avengers vs. X-Men the first "event" fully developed during his time on the job.
As such, it's clearly a story he's taking great pride in, from both a commercial and artistic standpoint. In an interview with Newsarama, Alonso said it's "on track to the biggest event ever," while praising the collaboration between the book's five writers — Jason Aaron, Brian Michael Bendis, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction and Jonathan Hickman — who are telling the tale along with artists John Romita Jr., Olivier Coipel and Adam Kubert.
Alonso, who also recently talked to us about upcoming miniseries Spider-Men, revealed to us that the Marvel Universe "is changed" by Avengers vs. X-Men — though not rebooted or retconned. With Avengers vs. X-Men #4 in stores this week (preview here), read on for more from Alonso.
Newsarama: Axel, you've mentioned how important Avengers vs. X-Men has been for you. With the series on top of the sales chart again in April, how pleased have you been with the reception thus far?Axel Alonso: I couldn't be happier. We are on track to be the biggest event ever.
Nrama: Bigger than Civil War?Alonso: Yeah. We're at a fourth printing now of issue #1. Tom [Brevoort] and I were joking about how the sales are great, people are talking, and the only naysaying we're hearing is, "Oh my god, it's going to be another nine issues of them running around the world fighting." They have no idea what's in store for them. And I love it! The thing is, we've got three acts, and there really are some massive, game-changing moments that equally affect the Avengers and the X-Men, or have great effect on either team, that no one is going to see coming, that are going to be the water-cooler talk for the next few months.
I'm very proud of my editors, in particular Tom [Brevoort]. There's no one in comic books who is better at standing in the middle of a battlefield with bullets flying and calmly giving orders and making sure that everybody is where they needs to be to win the battle, and Tom is right in the middle of this thing, controlling it beautifully.With AvX — the momentum of the book, it coming out every couple of weeks, so you don't have to wait too long, perfectly supplemented by VS. — I'm very happy with the way this rolled out. I'm especially proud of the brotherhood that was forged among the creators, the five writers who got into this knowing that five fingers make a fist. We said, "We're going into this like a team. Everybody's ideas are going to count, and there will be times, guys, when you walk away from a story session feeling like, 'Well, I would have done it another way!' Just count on it. But what we're going to do is trust each other and respect each other that we're going to get the best story here." And we did.
Nrama: And with a big moment said to be happening at the end of each act break, one should be coming soon, with issue #4 out this week.Alonso: The real act break for this is the end of issue #5. Issue #4 ends with an "oh sh*t" moment, just to make a distinction — issue #5 is the act break. After issue #5, people are going to be talking, and thus begins the second act, and where we're headed, and where we're willing to go with the subject matter.
Nrama: Right around the same time AvX will be wrapping up, a few long-term runs are ending at Marvel, with Brian Michael Bendis leaving the Avengers books and Jonathan Hickman leaving Fantastic Four. Is this more of a scheduling coincidence, or a sign of a larger, coordinated effort?Alonso: We have some moves planned. The Marvel Universe is changed by AvX. It is not a reboot or a retcon. It is the Marvel Universe that you grew up in. But this story in many ways sort of serves as an endcap to a decade's worth of stories that we've been telling, and I think it begins a great first chapter for the next decade's worth of stories we're going to tell.
I'm very excited about what we're doing. We had a fantastic summit. Some long-running creative shifts are occurring — you've heard about Brian, for instance; there may be others. We're very excited about where we're headed.More from Newsarama:

Mohana Krishna Indraganti deserved the National Award for best debut film. For, his Grahanam is indeed a thought-provoking film. Despite being an adaptation of decades-old controversial novel Doshagunam by Chalam, it is a gripping film adorned with a racy screenplay, crisp dialogues, clean cinematography and, above all, realistic performances from all and sundry.
Indraganti upholds Chalam's tirade against chauvinists who accuse a noble lady (actress Jayalalitha) of infidelity, ignoring her denials with contempt.
Chalam probably had no idea that the theme would be relevant even after decades primarily because the society's attitude towards women hasn't changed much.
The director should be lauded for venturing into filmmaking with such a bold theme. The film's narrative strength comes as a whiff of fresh air amid clichéd love stories and family drama. We need such trailblazers more regularly to the state of Telugu cinema stand on its head.
Indraganti draws on his erudition as he grants Chalam's work its due. In the film, he resists melodrama yet effectively narrates the protoganists' agony.
No doubt Grahanam has heralded the entry of a trendsetter.
The story goes like this: Jayalalitha is a beautiful wife of a feudal lord (Bharani). Theirs is a happy household. A poor student (Mehneesh) arrives at her house for weekly lunch and receives support for his studies. Jayalalitha dotes on him. Soon, Mehneesh's parents suspect Jayalalitha of seducing the boy. Rush to the cinema if you are curious to know what happens in the end.
Veteran actor Bharani impresses as suspecting feudal lord who throws his wife out of his house bitten by the suspicion bug. Character actress Jayalalitha, who has wasted her talent in umpteen commercial films earlier, delivers a riveting performance in Grahanam. Young guy Mehaneesh impresses as an innocent poor boy, who is suspected of having an affair with an elderly woman. Other actors, Surya, Ramana and Sivanarayana, seem adequate for their roles.
One can't help admiring cinematographer Vinda's excellent use of light. While Vijay's background score sets the right tone for the film, editing by Lokesh could not have been better.
Kudos to producers Subba Rao and Anji Reddy for indulging in such an off-beat film. They have already received critical acclaim and a National Award. It remains to be seen if they can earn some money.

From what I understand they are all the rage these days…. what a minute, what's that? Blogging is passe? The internet is so saturated with blogs that no one can keep up anymore? I should be micro-blogging across the Twitterverse!?
Oh well, screw it I'm going to start a blog anyway. I have a lot of things that I've been meaning to say.

Education is a lucrative market in the United States, and finding the right contacts through school mailing lists can be your foot in the door. The federal government alone spends over $70 billion per year on education. State and municipal governments add billions more to this pot, so even with the talk of "budget cutbacks", it is still a huge market.
Schools and districts not only purchase educational products like books and supplies, but also items such as maintenance tools, cleaning supplies, furniture, sporting equipment and other items. School boards and district organizations represent some of the most reliable customers you can have, and often buy in bulk amounts. The best way to find these customers is through school mailing lists.
The key to is to identify the people who are doing the buying. That is important, because to be effective in your sales you have to place your offer in front of the person who not only wants to buy your product, but has the power to do so. From School Administrators to key teaching staff by subject to support staff, AllMedia is able to target by a wide variety of titles to assure your offer is reaching your prime audience.
AllMedia has provided reliable, accurate business and consumer mailing lists to our clients since 1981. We can narrow your search to find the schools that will benefit most from your product or service by choosing different demographics. AllMedia can select schools by:
AllMedia finds the teachers, staff, and administration on these school mailing lists with the buying authority needed.
Another avenue you may want to consider is "extracurricular" buying. Parents, teachers, professors, and administrators have an obvious interest in education even outside of school. We can find these potential customers too, based on previous spending habits on education-related products. If you are targeting the teen and youth market, we can also reach them too through magazine subscriptions and book club memberships.

7 Non Food Uses for Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is my very favorite. I am not lying when I say that I use it for everything. Right now I have a big gallon bucket of it sitting in my kitchen cupboard.
Coconut oil is an excellent cooking oil. Since it is mostly a saturated fat, it stays stable at higher temperatures. This makes it great for frying and baking. And I think it makes vegetables taste awesome.
Not only is coconut oil great for cooking but it also has a number of non food uses that you may not know about.
Here are 7 non food uses for coconut oil
1. Shaving Cream
This is one of my favorite uses for coconut oil. Shaving cream is not only expensive but laden with harsh chemicals that get directly absorbed into your skin and can end up in your bloodstream. Once chemicals are in your bloodstream they have the potential to affect every single cell in your body.
Since you absorbed at least 60% of everything you put on your skin, this is a legitimate concern. Coconut oil is great because it moisturizes your skin and makes shaving super easy as well.
2. Body Lotion
I'll admit, it's a little greasy as a moisturizer but I still love using coconut oil for body lotion. I find the best way to apply it is while in a hot shower. I then use a towel I don't care so much about or a dark colored towel to dry off. This way some of the oil is still on your skin, keeping it all silky and smooth, but with out the greasiness.
3. Sunscreen
Did you know coconut oil has an SPF of 8É It doesn't seem like much but it's enough if you don't plan to fry yourself in the sun all day long.
There are two types of UV rays; UVA and UVB. UVB is what allows your body to produce Vitamin D and UVA is considered to be skin damaging. Both can cause tanning and burning but UVB does so at a much faster rate.
While using commercial sunscreen will block damaging UVA radiation, it will also block UVB and compromise your body's ability to produce Vitamin D. Vitamin D is a necessary hormone that supports the immune system and protects against cancer.
Using coconut oil for sunscreen provides a mild protection that will keep your skin safe while allowing you to produce vitamin D at the same time. And don`t forget, when getting moderate sun exposure, pay attention to signs of burning so that you can cover up or get out of the sun.
Commercial sunscreen is also full of carcinogenic ingredients that are known to mutate DNA and actually cause cancer. Switching to natural sunscreen is not only cancer protective by increasing your vitamin D levels but will also reduce your exposure to toxic carcinogenic chemicals.
If you are fair skinned or have to spend long periods of time in the sun and need something more potent than SPF 8, check out CARROT SEED OIL 100 % Natural Cold Pressed Carrier Oil. 2 Fl.oz.- 60 ml. Skin, Body, Hair and Lip Care. "One of the best oils to rejuvenate and regenerate skin tissues." by Botanical Beauty">carrot seed oil which have SPFs of 25-50 and 35-40, respectively.
4. Sexual Lubricant
When it comes to sexual pleasure or even dealing with vaginal dryness, at some point or another most women will need to use sexual lubricant.
Unfortunately, most commercial lubricants are laden with chemicals that are easily absorbed through the wall of the vagina. Coconut oil provides a great natural alternative for sexual lubricant(and smells delicious too!).
Be aware though coconut oil may not be compatible with latex condoms. There is a chance that the coconut oil will cause them to break.
Also be wary that coconut oil may disrupt vaginal pH in some women. While coconut oil has anti-fungal properties (which is great for vaginas), it may also take some of the healthy flora down with it. If you notice any irritation from the coconut oil, consider using a vaginal probiotic cream to restore balance and lay off the coconut oil.
5. A Cure for Chapped Lips
At this point in this article you have noticed that a lot of commercial skin care and beauty products are laden with chemical additives that can have a negative effect on your health.
I think this is especially true for lip balm as it goes on your lips. Not only can it be absorbed through your skin but you can swallow a lot of those chemicals as well.
Chapped lips are a total bummer. Whether its from too much sun exposure, wind burn or harsh winter days, it can be hard to think about anything else. And it's almost impossible not to lick your lips.
You can combine 1 teaspoon of coconut oil with 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Dab this mixture over your chapped lips and then scrub gently with your fingers. You can do this for a couple of minutes or until your lips feel smooth. Rinse your lips with warm water and dry.
You can continue to use the coconut oil daily until they are no longer chapped.
6. Eye Makeup Remover
Coconut oil is absolutely great for removing eye makeup like eye liner, mascara and shadow. It works quickly and doesn't require much rubbing. You can dab a little coconut oil on a cotton ball or makeup pad and wipe around the eyes until clean.
This is a great alternative to commercial makeup remover which can irritate they eyes.
7. Dental Health
Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic dental technique that is used to cleanse the mouth of toxins and bad bacteria. There are numerous scientific studies that support this process and I know many people who absolutely swear by it.
It basically works by removing biofilm and plaque from your teeth. The bad bacteria get "stuck" in the coconut oil and dissolve. While some plaque is normal, too much plaque and biofilm can lead to poor dental health and even heart disease.
Oil pulling is simple. Put a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth and swish it around for 10-15 minutes. Make sure to spit it out when your done as it now contains toxins and bacteria.
You will be amazed by how fresh and clean your mouth feels after doing this.
What is your favorite way to use coconut oil? Leave me a comment below and let me know.

Why it is of utmost importance to add green tea to your daily diet.
Green Tea Benefits
How many times you might have heard that Green tea is beneficial for your health but never was it proven, but now after an extensive research carried out by experts it is a proven fact that Green tea is actually more beneficial than we would ever have imagined. Don't believe it? Here are 8 proven benefits of green tea. You are about to change your mind about teas after thoroughly going through this article.
1. Green Tea helps to stabilise your Cholestrol levels: Forget about all those tablets you used to keep a check on your Cholestrol level.

According to the theory, over an 11 year of test period, individuals who drank 5 cups of green tea per day had a 16% less chance of death relating to cardiovascular disease while compared to those who drank a cup of tea.
3. Lowers the risk of Cancer: It is yet to be analysed how green tea prevents cancer but researchers do believe the use of green teas would definitely lower the risk of cancer.
4. Boost Immune system: Immunity system is the capability of any individual to resist or fight against any disease and drinking green tea regularly increases your immune system.
5. Weight Loss: This is a global problem where people are fighting on a daily basis to lose weight, either by dieting or regular exercise. How would someone feel if drinking green tea would help them lose weight? Great.
6. Helps prevent tooth decay: With the Increase in amount of tobacco contained contents; tooth decay is another big problem mainly in Asian sub continents. Drinking green tea helps prevent tooth decay as well.
7. Reduces and prevents acnes: Green tea benefits acne in a number of different ways. Its antibacterial properties attack and kill the acne bacteria while the anti-inflammatory benefits of green tea reduce the swelling and redness. Antioxidants fight against free radicals which damage the skin and make it more susceptible to acne also help to balance hormone levels to help prevent future breakouts from happening.
8. Prevents Wrinkles: One of the latest benefits of green tea is the effect it has on your skin and the aging process. It is again down to the antioxidants that prevent cell oxidation and damage that can make you look older than you really are. Studies are mixed on this particular green tea benefit as new research has come to light which suggests the full benefits can only be had by applying green tea topically to your skin.

There are many foods that may be hurting your mood, making you sick, and even pushing you toward depression! On the flip side there are many foods that promote your health, give you energy, turbocharge your memory and focus, and improve your mood. These are some of the most effective foods in that category.
80% of the caffeine in the world is consumed as coffee. Prospective studies of men and caffeine use showed a strong inverse association between coffee drinking and depression, with no association for tea or cola. A piece of epidemiology from the Nurses' Health Study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in 2011: Coffee, Caffeine, and Risk of Depression Among Women. So the more the merrier, but forget those weaker brews. Three cohort studies in the past have shown an inverse relationship between coffee consumption and suicide.
They're a great alternative to standard spuds as they are rich in folate, plus they are better than white potatoes at keeping blood sugar levels steady. And since folate contributes to the production of serotonin, it may help ward off depression and improve mood. In addition, vitamin B6 helps create dopamine, a mood neurotransmitter that may help combat PMS.
The brain is loaded with receptors for capsaicin. We also know that our brains respond to the heat of capsaicin by releasing endorphins, natural compounds that are related to morphine and have a calming effect.
Peas and beans are good sources of magnesium, a mineral that plays a core role in your body's energy production. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) lists magnesium as being necessary for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body.
If you're more a salad type than a carnivore, spinach is one of your best go-to sources for iron, which helps deliver energy-sustaining oxygen to your cells. It wards off fatigue and aids concentration. It's also a good source of vitamin B6 and folate, which support the brain's ability to produce mood-boosting neurotransmitters, such as serotonin.
These super fruits help stave off the brain aging that can lead to slower thought processing. Thank the anthocyanins (antioxidants that lend berries their hues); these substances may work with other compounds in the fruit to block enzymes that short-circuit normal communication between brain cells. Since each type of berry has its own mix of phytochemicals, go for a variety.
They're one of the best sources of the mood-boosting mineral selenium, which can ward off low mood and anxiety.
While the rind is bitter, it contains a lot of citrulline, as nutrient that relaxes blood vessels by activating the same mechanism as the impotency drug Viagra. This compound also helps the brain get rid of the metabolic waste product ammonia, which can damage neurons. The red flesh of watermelon is bursting with the powerful antioxidant lycopene, much more so actually than the tomato. Studies show you can boost the levels of this important nutrient by up to 40 percent (and beta-carotene by 150 percent) by letting it sit outside the refrigerator at room temperature for several days.
Even if you're not a guacamole fan, this green fruit can bring you happiness. Avocados contain serotonin, a type of feel-good neurotransmitter in the brain. They're bursting with depression-fighting folate, mood-lifting tryptophan and stress relieving vitamin B6.
Step away from the white rice and breads, which can cause blood-sugar crashes that leave you dragging. A better sub? Quinoa is a complex carb but also a complete protein that can give you a steady stream of energy. Quinoa is one of the rare plant-based foods that contains all nine of the essential amino acids that your body can't make itself.
Beets are one of the best sources of the B vitamin folate that is crucial for good mood, memory retrieval, processing speed, and lightning reflexes. Beets are also packed with betaine, which our brain uses to form SAM-e, a natural antidepressant. Uridine, another important nutrient found in these root vegetables, stimulates the production of phosphotidylcholine, a building block of the brain's synaptic connections, helping to increase your mind's processing power. A combination of uridine and omega-3s is as effective as prescription antidepressants in animal studies, and trials of uridine combined with omega-3s are being studied in the treatment of bipolar disorder by Harvard University.
Especially raw, eggs contain a beneficial blend of omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, B vitamins, and iodide, nutrients that work together to battle fatigue and reverse bad moods. They're a great source of zinc, which helps you to feel more alert and energised by regulating your metabolism and blood sugar levels.
Walnuts are one of the richest dietary sources of serotonin. Providing new evidence that serotonin may be directly absorbed from food into the body, a recent Spanish study found that those who ate a daily 1-ounce combo of walnuts, hazelnuts, and almonds had more of this feel-good substance than a nut-free group.
Bananas can balance hunger and mood between meal energy slumps as they help to stabilise blood sugar levels.The fruit's high vitamin B6 content can help relieve anxiety and stress, and it's also a great source of tryptophan -the essential amino acid the brain converts into happiness hormone serotonin.
Alliums promote healthy arteries and ensure proper blood flow to the brain. These savory vegetables relax your blood vessels, decreasing your blood pressure, which prevents small strokes in the brain, a major cause of depression and dementia later in life. But more than that, it influences the uptake of tryptophan, the precursor to the important neurotransmitter serotonin. It also enhances the release of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.

Do You Know Your Body's Most Important Weight Loss Secret?
By J. Davis III
Category: HEALTH
Tags: HEALING | HEALTHY FATS | REMEDIES
Recently, Doctor of Naturopathy, weight-loss expert and best-selling Amazon author Liz Swann Miller, creator of the Red Smoothie Detox Factor, revealed 2 of the secrets to easy, steady weight loss. Secrets the big food corporations do their best to hide from us.
Secret #1: Enjoy real food. Don't fall for the lie that you have to deprive yourself to lose weight.
Secret #2: stop eating out. You will automatically eat less without even noticing.
Then start detoxing your body with tasty, nourishing smoothies that are just as easy on your wallet as they are easy to make.
Because a single day of enjoying Liz' smoothies demonstrated the radical power of her superfood-packed red smoothies to make me feel incredibly good.
Now prepare yourself for one of the biggest weight loss secrets there is. A secret that, when you use it properly, can transform your body and your health.
You probably know most of us eat too much processed food. What you may not know is that it's full of toxic chemicals and substandard, dirt-cheap ingredients designed to make you eat more…and force you to gain weight.
Here's how it works...
"That stuff is just a lot of calories your body can't use," Liz told me, "Some are poison. And all these foods are stripped of the anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that help your body detox. The result? Your body expends huge amounts of calories to eliminate some toxins—the rest, it stores in your fat to protect you. This is why most people are hungry all the time. They're not getting energy they need."
"So… what's going on with me? Why am I losing weight but not going hungry?"
Liz paused, then dropped the bombshell.
Your body is designed to burn fat. You just have to let it.
"What? I thought we were designed to store fat?!?" We were Skyping and I was practically shouting. Then I heard Liz say…
What good is a fat reserve if you can't burn it?
Mind blown...
Liz continued: "You're drinking smoothies packed with phytonutrients, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatories that pull toxins out of you like a tractor beam. Allowing your body to burn those toxin-filled fat stores… and releasing tremendous amounts of stored energy."
So that's why I'm losing weight without going hungry.
Watch Liz' free presentation. It's packed with revolutionary weight loss information—information that works. Because it's based on how nature works.

MS students participate in Technology Day
More than 50 grade 8 students from O'Rourke Middle School teacher Ed Hanlon's technology classes recently attended the General Electric Technology Day, which is a STEM education project collaboratively developed by Schenectady-area educators and GE technical experts to enrich the STEM experience of local middle school-age students.
At GE Technology Day, BH-BL students worked in small groups at a series of interactive tech stations to compete in a design challenge where they had to create a model wind turbine that would generate the greatest amount of energy for the least amount of cost. The student weren't taking wild guesses with this project, however. They had some previous guidance when GE engineers visited them at school a week earlier to educate students about wind energy. In fact, the engineers and students worked together to research three ideal locations for a wind farm by investigating the environmental, fiscal and political factors that influence the development of alternative energy. The students then brought their new found knowledge with them to GE Technology Day to help them in the competition.
At Technology Day, the students were given the challenge scenario of developing a wind turbine in Argentina. Using their research, they had to choose the overall height of the structure, the number and length of the blades, and the width and design of the blade. The students even tested their prototypes and were able to make modifications before the final competition.
During the final competition, the designs were attached to a model turbine and electric fans simulated airflow. In the end, the winning groups were those that produced the smallest voltage-to-cost ratio.
BH-BL students and teachers also took a tour of a GE manufacturing building and saw an actual turbine blade.
"It was a great day filled with tons of educational experiences and projects for our students," explained Science & Technology Education Department Head David Collins. "It's exposure to real-world scenarios and professional interactions like this that leave a lasting impression on students. I think there were quite a few kids today who will remember this day and perhaps even draw on it as they continue their educational career and try to find a focus of study for their future."
