The Truth Behind Costco Engagement Rings
The Truth Behind Costco Engagement Rings
A few weeks ago we did a quick online comparison between Costco Engagement Rings & James Allen. The result? While we love Costco as a wholesale price club, their diamond selection and advertising raised a number of questions. The issues raised stemmed from general lack of knowledge to perhaps deceptive wording.
So before you go Engagement Ring shopping at Costco, make sure to read the following points so you know what your getting into.
Things Clearly Missing from Costco's Engagement Rings
The issue with Costco engagement rings, which we hope to shine a light on, is that there are things clearly missing, and things that are hinted at, but not spelled out.
We'll be referring to Costco's website (as detailed here!), so feel free to follow along.
Costco's Position on GIA Certificates
Per Costco's website, their position on GIA Certificates is as follows:
Gemological Institute of America (GIA) Diamond Grading Report - All items with a 1.00 carat or larger diamond center stone will include a GIA Diamond Grading Report detailing the center diamond.
Gemological/Jewelry Report - All items with a 1.00 carat or larger diamond center stone will also include a Gemological/Jewelry Report describing the article of jewelry. This report will not have a monetary value listed. You can contact the the company that issued the report and request an insurance appraisal, in which case your Costco purchase price will be documented as the insurance replacement value.
What's Missing From These Statements
Diamond Certifications are essential when buying a ring. I was rather disappointed in this because at first you might think that Costco will only sell rings that are GIA Certified. Unfortunately, that is only true of diamonds with an individual weight of 1.0ct and larger. Any smaller, then it is simply not. Remember, the individual weight of the diamond must be 1.0ct, not the total carat weight of the ring. Given that 99% of buyers cannot accurately judge a diamond's condition themselves, even if you happen to have a jeweler's loupe on you, this means that you must rely on the diamond's rating for a proper assessment. By Costco limiting the amount of information available to you, they are exposing the buyer to potentially grossly overspending on an inferior diamond.
Don't be Mislead When Purchasing a Costco Engagement Ring
While the glaring issue regarding GIA Certifications are at the very least up front, Costco uses additional wording that can skew their buyers' perception.
Costco's Diamond Sales Pitch
Per Costco's website, you can also find the following declarations:
Costco offers our members high quality jewelry at an exceptional value. Our team of GIA Graduate Gemologists inspect every diamond to ensure it meets Costco's strict quality standards. We only sell natural and untreated diamonds.
Costco Article of Description - A detailed article of description will accompany diamond items with center stones less than 1.00ct.
What Does That Mean Exactly?
The statement that truly catches out attention is "Our team of GIA Graduate Gemologists inspect every diamond to ensure it meets Costco's strict quality standards". There are two things here that raise our eyebrows.
First, by advertising that you use GIA Graduate Gemologists, you are giving the impression that your internal ratings are as good as a GIA certification. If you have any doubt that these are not the same, simply try selling a ring without a GIA Certification and you will quickly realize that prices can drop as much as 50% or more. Secondly, why even mention that you use GIA Graduate Gemologists unless you are trying to piggy-back on this designation and thus purposefully mislead your customer base?
Then we have the "Costco Article of Description", which means nothing at the end of the day. This is basically a paper describing what you bought from Costco's point-of-view. If that point-of-view is not signed, sealed, certified, official, etc… then it's just a paper.
Other Things To Look Out For
Costco's Most Popular Rings tend to all be Halo mounts. We can see the logic in this since it is safe to assume the individual purchasing this ring is probably price conscious and a Halo setting will provide a more dramatic presentation while utilizing smaller diamonds. However, by utilizing this mounting style, they can maximize the number of diamonds under 1.0ct used, thus maximizing the number of non-Certified diamonds.
Costco has precious few Cut ratings available. In fact most of their Round, Princess and Cushion diamonds have no Cut rating at all. It is only when selecting the absolute most expensive rings that Costco will provide you with a Cut. Since, as we've said before, Cut is perhaps the biggest indicator of a Diamond's quality, this will have an extreme effect on its pricing.
Costco Engagement Ring Summary
In summary, you're probably better off purchasing your engagement ring somewhere else. If you want to see how some of our favorite online retailers compare to Costco, see our two part Costco vs James Allen comparison. This should leave no doubt as to what choice is best.
Now that you've learned more about Costco's Engagement Rings, would you like us to help you with your diamond ring search? Contact us and we will provide you with a one-on-one service that will get you the best diamond available!

cherry wood fogging in main cabin
I have a 2008 Fairline Phantom 40 & over the last season, fogging has appeared in main cabin which I am having rectified. The team @ Swanwick took the time to look into where the water was coming from & they found that the small downlights that run outside, by the sidewalks (think these may have been an optional extra?), were the cause of the water getting in & have resealed all. Just checking to see if anyone else has found this out, as I doubt my boat would be the only one? If there is already a post about this apologies but just putting it out there, in case it helps others. Should not have happened & poorly installed but there you are! Overall boat still very good, at least, as far as I am concerned.

Irish Water
September 6, 2017 Latest News
Irish Water has said it will cost around €5m to process refunds to those who paid water charges.
Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government Eoghan Murphy this afternoon said that water charges will be refunded after legislation is enacted this autumn.
In a statement following a lengthy Cabinet meeting today, Mr Murphy said that almost all of the 990,000 people who paid water charges will be refunded the full amount by the end of the year.
Customers will be refunded automatically by way of cheques, and only need to contact Irish Water if their details need to be updated.
Irish Water has said that additional staff will be required to deal with repayments.
The utility says it is putting in place a mechanism to process cheques and that it will communicate with those who are due refunds once legislation is passed and funding is provided by Government.

Combine together fruit and veggies, throw in some Zen principles and what you have is the new docu-movie, How to cook your life
How to Cook Your Life is a documentary about the adventures and ideas of ordained Zen priest, cook and bestselling food author Edward Espe Brown.
Brown is an ordained Zen priest and for many years a Tenzo (head cook) at the Tassajara Zen Mountain Centre. Brown has been actively involved with Zen and helping people further their Zen Practice. One would wonder what food and Zen Buddhism has to do with each other?
The Zen centre that Brown is involved in has a large focus on food with organic farming at their Green Gulch Farm and the creation a successful San Francisco restaurant, Greens Restaurant, which has been a premier vegetarian restaurant in the area for over 25 years. Brown has also written a book called, The Tassajara Bread Book.
Nirvana in the kitchen
We live in a world that is overloaded with media, processed 'ready in a minute' food and going through the motions in the kitchen, Brown uses Zen principles teach us to stop and pay attention to what we are doing and not just go through the motions.
Brown is not your stereotypical Zen priest, he is also temperamental, goofy, and altogether human. In the documentary Brown struggles with normal everyday tasks that we all encounter such as long queues at the supermarket, impossible packaging and slow cooks in the kitchen. This makes Brown relatable and shows how Zen can be applied in the kitchen.

Bewildering Stories welcomes...
Joe Vadalma
Our ranks of technical writers in the field of computer science swells yet again with the addition of Joe Vadalma. In addition to adventure games and do-it-yourself projects, Joe — a lifelong amateur of science fiction and fantasy — enjoys writing. He's written fairly prolifically and has had some success in publishing several short stories in e-zines and a series of dark fantasy novels, The Morgaine Chronicles. He's also published at least two science fiction novels.
"A Visit to the 21st Century" is Joe's first contribution to Bewildering Stories. It falls into the old and hallowed genre of travel literature, notably the satirical mode, where a stranger from a strange land provides a foreigner's perspective on the quirks, foibles and dangers of contemporary society. Montesquieu's 18th-century Parisians asked a fictional visitor, "What's it like to be a Persian?" Joe's story tells us something that may be equally... bewildering: what it's like to be a 21st-century New Yorker.
Welcome to Bewildering Stories, Joe! We hope to hear from you again soon and often.
Joe Vadalma's bio sketch can be accessed here.

Transparency is a beautiful thing -- in government, newspapers and college football coaches' polls.
Making the USA Today coaches reveal their final ballots Sunday was like shining a flashlight into an attic.
The glare was so intense for Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel he yanked down the shades -- electing not to cast a final vote because he felt voting for either Michigan or Florida represented a conflict of interest.
The question: How would Tressel have voted given the same situation two years ago when coaches didn't have to make public their final ballots.
If Tressel didn't want a rematch against Michigan, which he didn't, he could have voted the Wolverines third.
There still would have been a conflict of interest -- the only difference being Tressel wouldn't have to admit to it.
For years, the voting coaches crouched behind giant desks and handed off anonymous ballots to their sports information directors.
In 1995, two coaches dropped Florida to 11th and 13th after they lost the national title game to Nebraska, an obvious swipe at then-Gators coach Steve Spurrier.
The coaches couldn't hide forever, though.
Any pretense of credibility dissolved in 2003 when two dozen coaches had to take their No. 1 votes away from USC and give them to Louisiana State because the coaches' association mandated they award the Bowl Championship Series title to the bowl that USC was not playing in.
It got uglier the next year when the bid for the Rose Bowl came down to a BCS tug-of-war between Texas and California.
Alas, last year, the coaches reluctantly agreed to reveal their final votes and then got a lollipop with USC vs. Texas, which had been Nos. 1 and 2 the entire season.
How tough a decision was that?
This year was tough, and we got to see up close how the coaches responded under public pressure.
Tressel punted.
"I thought it wasn't appropriate for us to cast a ballot with circumstances as they were," he said.
Bottom line: If Tressel isn't ready to make difficult choices, he needs to get out of the voting business.
The American Football Coaches Assn. will certainly take up this prickly issue when it meets next month.
"Prior to 2005, coaches were never faced with the decision Jim Tressel had to make this past weekend," AFCA Executive Director Grant Teaff said in a statement. "We will have a policy in place for next season."
That policy needs to simply state: you vote or you're out.
Closer inspection of the final coaches' ballot revealed other interesting, if not unexpected, truths.
Of the 19 voting coaches who had teams ranked in the final top 25, only one had his team ranked worse than the team's final ranking: Nebraska Coach Bill Callahan voted Nebraska No. 23, one spot lower than its No. 22 ranking.
Callahan may have tipped his hand when he ripped his own performance in Nebraska's loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Conference title game.
"I was disappointed in everything I did," he said in a conference call this week.
Two coaches, Les Miles of Louisiana State and Dennis Franchione of Texas A&M;, ranked their teams exactly where they finished in the final poll.
Most coaches had a much higher opinion of their own teams than the consensus.
West Virginia finished No. 12; Rich Rodriguez voted the Mountaineers No. 7.
Notre Dame finished No. 11; Charlie Weis voted the Irish No. 8.
Oklahoma finished No. 8; Bob Stoops ranked the Sooners No. 4.
Conflict of interest?
Illinois Coach Ron Zook voted Florida No. 2 ahead of Michigan. Zook, of course, was the Florida coach before Urban Meyer.
Circle this date: Michigan plays at Illinois on Oct. 20.
And so much for Miles someday getting the Michigan job: The coach, who played for Bo Schembechler and was a longtime Wolverines assistant, voted Florida No. 2.
Miles has always been on the short list of possible successors to Lloyd Carr.
Well, at least he had been.
And the winner was ...
Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith won the Heisman Trophy two days from now in ceremonies in New York.
Wasn't it exciting?
Smith wore a tuxedo, smiled a lot and said all the right things.
It was Ohio State's seventh Heisman but the first for Smith, who trails former Buckeye Archie Griffin by one.
Enough of that foregone conclusion, let's try to identify next year's winner:
If Adrian Peterson (Oklahoma), Dwayne Jarrett (USC), Brian Brohm (Louisville) and Calvin Johnson (Georgia Tech) don't turn professional, well, wouldn't that be shocking ... which would leave us with these contenders (assuming they stay):
1. Darren McFadden, running back, Arkansas. Best recovery from a preseason bar fight in recent memory. McFadden rebounded to rush for 1,558 yards and 14 touchdowns.
2. John David Booty, quarterback, USC. If J.D. (Just Deflected) Booty was actually 6 feet 3, as he's listed in the program, USC might be undefeated and playing for the national title.
Booty put up terrific numbers this season but lacked the intangible, finish-it factor possessed by predecessor Matt Leinart.
Maybe he'll find "it" in the Rose Bowl, or in the off-season.
3. Steve Slaton or Pat White, tailback, quarterback, West Virginia. You can't have one without the other? That could be the problem.
As a tandem, Slaton and White combined for 2,757 yards rushing and 33 touchdowns. Slaton averaged 7.07 yards per carry; White averaged 7.51.
The two stars, however, seem to be better as a pair than they are separately.
4. DeSean Jackson, receiver, California. Most exciting player in the Pacific 10 Conference but will need to get enough touches to make a serious run.
5. Mike Hart, running back, Michigan. His 2007 campaign started with a 142-yard, three-touchdown, 6.2-yards-per-carry, leave-it-on-the-field performance in this year's three-point loss at Ohio State.
6. Colt Brennan, quarterback, Hawaii. Incredible numbers -- 4,990 yards passing, 53 touchdown passes -- but you always wonder in June Jones' run-and-shoot offense whether it's the quarterback or the system. Remember David Klingler and Andre Ware? Brennan also suffers from playing in a, well, not-so-prime time zone for Heisman-winning purposes.
Others to watch: Boise State running back Ian Johnson, who led the nation with 24 touchdowns, Michigan receiver Mario Manningham, Rutgers tailback Ray Rice and Rice receiver Jarett Dillard.
Blitz package
* Yeah, but what did he know?
A former coach was asked five days before Ohio State played Michigan whether he thought the loser of the game deserved a rematch in the national title.
"I don't think of it as a possibility at all," the coach said. "They are not going to do that. Of course it's not fair. Once you beat a team it's over. If you're a loser, of course you want to play those guys again. But I would not be in favor of that under any circumstances."
The former coach was Bo Schembechler, who died at 77, the day before the game.
Schembechler didn't get a chance to cast his final vote in the Master Coaches poll, conducted by former college coaches, but would be happy to know Michigan finished second in that survey.
"A rematch would be totally unfair to Ohio State," Master voter and former West Virginia coach Don Nehlen said. "If Michigan won the rematch, which of the two games would determine which team was the best? That being said, I still believe Michigan is a better football team than Florida."
* Maybe there was a playoff in college football but you missed it.
Maybe it started Sept. 2, when Ohio State knocked off defending champion Texas in Austin, and then continued from there.
Maybe Oklahoma had its chance (Sept. 16) at the national title but lost to a Pac-10 instant-replay crew.
Wisconsin had its chance (Sept. 23) but lost to Michigan.
West Virginia had a chance (Nov. 2) but lost to Louisville.
Louisville had a chance (Nov. 9) but lost to Rutgers.
Rutgers had a chance (Nov. 18) but lost to Cincinnati.
Michigan had a chance (Nov. 18) but lost to Ohio State.
Ohio State had a chance (Nov. 18) and beat Michigan.
Arkansas had a chance (Nov. 24) but lost to Louisiana State.
USC had a chance (Dec. 2) but lost to UCLA.
Florida had a chance (Dec. 2) and beat Arkansas.
Boise State?
It never had a chance.
* Griffin, the only two-time Heisman Trophy winner, said Wednesday he was surprised no one else has ever doubled-up on the trophy. "I've always said someone else would win it [twice]," he said.
* So how did your team fare in the USA Today ex-coaches poll? Eight out of the 63 voting coaches this year lost their jobs: Dan McCarney (Iowa State), Larry Coker (Miami), Walt Harris (Stanford), John L. Smith (Michigan State), Jack Bicknell (Louisiana Tech), Chuck Amato (North Carolina State), Darryl Dickey (North Texas), John Bunting (North Carolina).

It is hard to go overboard on the superlatives when discussing the amazing potential the iPad has for its army of users. It is important to realize, however, that by making an effort to learn all you can about its dizzying array of possibilities, you can get the absolute most value from your purchase. Continue perusing this piece and you will gain the insight you need.
Never leave your iPad in a hot car or any similar environment. The intense heat saps devices of battery power. Exposing it to extreme heat and light can affect the battery's ability to hold a charge for long periods. This type of damage is not covered in your warranty, making this a pricey mistake.
Keep your apps organized with the folder feature. The newest version of iOS allows users to create folders. To do this, tap and hold an app's icon until it starts to move or jiggle. Then, drag the app until it is hovering over another app that you want in the same folder. Now just release. The iPad will automatically create a folder with both app icons inside.
Be sure that you only use official iPad accessories with your iPad. Accessories made by other companies have been shown to slow the device and even cause permanent damage at times. Even though the Apple accessories are more expensive than other options they are cheaper than having to replace your iPad altogether.
Performing multiple app updates at the same time can slow down your iPad and make it difficult to get anything done. You can alleviate this by pausing apps and forcing them to update one at a time instead of all at once. Tap the icon of the app that is updating to pause it. When one is finished, you can allow another one to finish updating.
Did you know you could print the documents you have on your iPad? You need to purchase an AirPrint ready printer. While you are near the printer, access your share menu and select printer. If you have a Mac computer, you can download an app called Printopia to send your printing jobs to a printer connected to your Mac.
Unfortunately, the iPad does not have a free satellite navigation feature. However, the map's direction features works great for driving, walking, and even bus directions. To use it, simply tap on "Directions", found on the top left corner of the maps app, and you will be given a step-by-step guide to your destination.
Take advantage of free apps for your iPad. Although there are a number of sites that offer apps at reasonable prices, there are also those that give them to you for free. Be sure to check the reputability of the site you download from and read the fine print. You should have no problem getting nearly everything you need at no cost.
There can be little argument about the ability the iPad has to transform the way countless people perform daily tasks of all types. The best way to optimize your use of the device is acquire a good amount of knowledge about what it can do. With any luck, the article above has provided you with just that.

Carolina | www.equibalancehealth.com
" I can not speak highly enough of Bia Alvarez. She is an absolute delight to work with. She is FAST, she is super creative and I can't wait to work with her again on the projects I have coming down the pipeline. Bia has an uncanny way of being able to get to the heart of the problem that needs to be solved visually. She also has a great ability to hear what it is that her clients are wanting to do or to communicate through their design project....and then she makes it happen in such a beautiful way!"
Eddie | www.lightsourceproduction.com
"Working with Bia was a fantastic experience, not only is she incredibly talented but the whole time working with her felt truly honest and collaborative, there's few peers that are able to give you as much as she does as well as make you feel at ease through the entire process, and as a creative there's nothing better than being locked in that flow state with another artist. 10/10 would most definitely recommend"
Laura Herde | @laura.herde
"I am honestly so grateful that I found Bia and that I got to work with her as our value are so aligned and this is very important to me in a business partnership that has over time turned into a real friendship. I always felt so excited talking to Bia since she is such a sweet person who immediately understood what I was looking for. It was such a fun process creating my new business logo with her and I couldn't be happier with the end result. Bia always got back to me very quickly, explained everything I needed to know in detail and I can just highly recommend her services. Thank you for this amazing partnership, Bia!"
Cherise | www.positivelywell.com
"I couldn't be happier Bia Alvarez Design. I came to her for help with my logo and branding. She has magically beautified my original logo to look cleaner, sharper and beautiful! She proceeded to create a set of versions of my logo that were lighter and more appropriate for different media. All have been stunning. She also beautified and put together content for my Ebook on Toxin-Free Living. To say I was pleased is an understatement. She takes my content and makes it come alive. I am sure my Ebook would not be near as effective, readable and inviting if I didn't have her to put her designer stamp on it. She chose beautiful images, fonts and layout that made it into a work of art."

text: g*****f Mar 06, 2017 10:36 PM While I know no one cares I figured I would document my journey with this attempt at a lifestyle change anyways. So the naturopath said to aim for 2000 calories. 15% carbs, 55% fat and 30% protein. Modified Ketogenic diet style. No grains, no sugar products, no chemicals, limited to no root vegetables. Because of my intolerances and preferences no dairy, no eggs, no coconut anything, no asparagus.It's actually really hard to get to 2000 calories without starchy foods. But I'm eating until I'm full and I'm eating when I'm hungry, I'm not limiting the amount I eat, just what I eat.

Shop On A Full Stomach
If you shop on an empty stomach, your eyes are going to be bigger than your shopping list. What will inevitably happen is you'll stock up on junk food that will satisfy your current, wrenching hunger.
For this, it's a good idea to always shop on a full stomach if you're trying to lose weight. This will ensure that you stick to the list by purchasing healthy foods that are likely to keep the weight off.
This is a small but very useful hack that always works a treat.
Get Yourself A Weight-Loss Mantra
Is there such a thing as a self-fulfilling prophecy? Very possibly.
If you tell yourself that you can't do something, such as lose weight, the chances are likely that you don't do it.
If, however, you can convince your brain that you can totally do this, you will stand a much better chance of doing it.
Each day, say to yourself: "I can be fit." Repeat it every day.
Stand Up More
Just sitting down all day can contribute to weight gain. So why not stand up more often?
You'll find that there are plenty of opportunities throughout your day for you to stand up more. For example, you could stand up when someone rings you, or you could even set up a standing desk in your study.
Some people read (and walk) while standing up, while others reply to emails while on their treadmill. If you stand up more often, you'll be amazed by how many extra calories you can burn. Try it, it's so easy!
Eat Lots Of Fibre
As well as eating more protein, you should also aim to introduce more fibre into your diet if it's currently lacking from it. Fibre is fantastic for suppressing appetite and keeping you feeling full for longer.
There is fibre to be found in all kinds of food, from oatmeal to beans, cereals to asparagus, flax seeds to oranges. You could also try supplements, such as glucomannan, which aid with weight loss.….READ MORE ON THE NEXT PAGE


text: Organic means working with nature not against it. All organic farms and manufacturing companies are inspected at least once a year and the standards for organic food are laid down in European law. Getting organic certification isn't easy and when you buy an organic product you know what you're buying really is what it says on the tin. Organic food comes from trusted sources. All organic farms and food companies are inspected at least once a year and the standards for organic food are laid down in European law. Switching to just one extra organic item really can help contribute to changing our food and farming systems for the better. Demand for more organic food means more organic farms. More organic farms mean fewer pesticides, more wildlife and more animals raised under the very highest standards. Organic food is available nationwide in over 8,000 supermarkets and independent retailers, box schemes, restaurants and cafes. The organic farming concept is gaining ground rapidly in India. He comes from an agricultural background. He has served the state government as an electrical engineer but after his retirement he decided to go back to his roots & took up traditional occupation. Initially, he confined himself to his mango cultivation and two acres of paddy but now there is no looking back. He is not the only one reaping the benefits; there are others as well who are reaping the benefit. There is 38% increase in total certified organic produce in 2016-17 compared to 2013-14 as per Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority( APEDA) report. Recently, the State of Uttarakhand signalled its intentions to become completely organic, which will help to protect water resources, improve soil and improve family incomes in the mountain state. The pact will pay special attention to propagating indigenous medicinal herbs, trees and crops that can help benefit the health and well-being of people across Uttarakhand and around the world through the Go Green Go Organic Movement and GIWA's Ganga River Institute for Sustainable Development. A major new study confirms that a diet high in fruit and vegetables is better for the planet than one high in animal products. The study also finds that organic food provides significant, additional climate benefits for plant-based diets, but not for diets with only moderate contribution from plant products. Such diets include reduced consumption of animal products, which have a higher environmental impact than plant-based products.

Small Arms
Expected Council Action
In December, the Council will hold a briefing at the initiative of Japan to consider the Secretary-General's biennial report on small arms, which is expected by mid-December. At press time, no outcome was planned.
Background and Recent Developments
As a thematic issue, small arms was first deliberated by the Council in September 1999, and since then the item has been maintained on the agenda, though the Council's attention to this issue has been somewhat inconsistent. The Council adopted six presidential statements on small arms between 1999 and 2007, but there were no discussions on this issue from 2008 to 2013, with the exception of a briefing in a closed meeting on the Secretary-General's 2011 report on small arms. In 2001, the Council adopted a presidential statement that requested the Secretary-General to produce a report on small arms in 2002. Subsequent presidential statements asked for periodic reports until 2006, when the cycle was interrupted due to the Council's difficulty in adopting the relevant decision. A statement adopted in 2007 requested biennial reports starting in 2008. The report due in 2010 was delayed until 2011 thus altering the reporting cycle.
The Council adopted its first thematic resolution on small arms in September 2013 on the initiative of then-Council member Australia. Resolution 2117 was based predominantly on previously agreed language from the presidential statements on the issue. The resolution sought to strengthen the Council's response to small arms-related threats to international peace and security. It reminded member states of their obligation to comply with Council-mandated arms embargoes, expressing the Council's intention to monitor and strengthen their implementation and emphasised the role of UN peacekeeping operations relating to arms embargoes and capacity-building for host governments.
In May 2015, the Council adopted resolution 2220, which was the Council's second resolution specifically on this issue. The resolution urged member states to enhance their cooperation in curtailing illicit arms transfers and the accumulation and misuse of small weapons, while focusing on the effects of these activities on civilian populations. It again emphasised the role of UN peacekeeping operations relating to arms embargoes and capacity-building for host governments, encouraged information-sharing and cooperation among relevant actors, and called on states to support weapons collection, disarmament, demobilisation, reintegration and stockpile management.
Japan has had a longstanding interest in the issue of small arms and was one of the original co-authors of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), which was adopted by the General Assembly in 2013.
The treaty entered into force on 24 December 2014. At press time, 130 states had signed and 89 had ratified the treaty. Japan currently serves as the president of the Fourth Conference of States Parties (CSP4) to the ATT, which will be held in Tokyo next year.
Issues and Options
The core issue for the Council is the implementation of previous outcomes on small arms, most notably resolutions 2117 and 2220. A related issue is whether there needs to be further Council action on small arms, such as enhancing implementation of the provisions agreed in the aforementioned resolutions in regard to arms embargoes, the role of UN peace operations in combating the proliferation of illicit small arms, and other measures aimed at preventing diversion of arms into the illicit market, such as stockpile management and security sector reform.
An additional issue will be discussing any new recommendations that might be put forward in the upcoming Secretary-General's report.
At press time, there was no indication that Japan, which initiated this meeting, would seek an outcome on this issue. However, an option for the Council would be to adopt a resolution or presidential statement that would welcome the Secretary-General's report and endorse some of its recommendations. Furthermore, the Council could request the Secretary-General to consistently integrate small-arms issues into all planning and review processes for UN operations at the earliest possible stage, address small-arms issues in all relevant reports, and provide recommendations to the Council as appropriate.
Council Dynamics
Council dynamics on small arms tend to be complicated. This was particularly evident during the Council's negotiations on its two most prominent outcomes on this issue, resolutions 2117 and 2220. In the first attempt to pass a resolution on small arms, an initiative of Argentina in 2006, the Council failed to adopt a resolution because of strong objections by the US, which at the time argued that this issue was best dealt with in the General Assembly. When resolution 2117 was adopted in 2013, Russia abstained, citing the omission of an amendment it had proposed aimed at preventing the transfer of small arms to non-state actors.
When resolution 2220 was adopted in 2015, Russia and China abstained, along with then-Council members Angola, Chad, Nigeria and Venezuela. Once again, the core issue during negotiations was the transfer of small arms to non-state actors. Russia also objected to certain provisions of the resolution regarding the expansion of the power of specialised committees and UN missions in controlling the transfers of small arms, which Russia believes should be the sole responsibility of the concerned government. Another issue that tends to be contentious is any suggestion of the Council's calling on states to ratify or accede to the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). Among the current Council members, seven (Bolivia, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Russia and the US) are not parties to the ATT.

Hello all. It is 10.40EDT on the 17th and we're finishing up packing to head for Oakland. I'm relieved to be going home to my own bed, though I'm endlessly grateful to Neil & Pamela & Lucy for sharing their home with us. It was good to be in a cozy environment while I struggled to get myself sorted post surgery. The thrush is starting to get under control, though my throat is still a mess. Swish and swallowing yucky stuff. Got the staples out yesterday. Nice to be rid of those. You can now see pix of surgery from the main site. The link directly to the pics is here. I'm feeling slightly human this morning, which is good cuz I know I won't by the time we hit Oakland tonight. Better to start out feeling decent. Eliot is packing since I cannot lift stuff.
I still think it was a mistake for them to release me from the hospital on Friday between the infection/thrush and my digestive system not yet functioning fully, but I know the nurses seemed to be up in arms about dealing with the fragrance allergic asthma response stuff. I still don't understand a hospital that will allow that kind of stuff in the first place. When I am feeling better I will be taking on that issue with the hospital there and seeing if I can get them to create a policy for the hospital as a whole.
I'm still not eating much. It is hard to swallow and I've not got much of an appetite. I have plenty of room for some loss of poundage though, so it isn't dire. I'm making sure to eat things that are good, such as miso and rice noodles.
I don't fully understand the NO flowers in any ICU room either. That was a big downer to have to spend so much time in such a sterile room. Though the fold out toilet was pretty funny. It folded into a cupboard. There are pictures on the site.
More from the West side.
Head for the hills

Wow, honey, what an incredible ordeal! I've been thinking of you since Eliot let me know- he must have spammed your mailing list, huh? Thank you, Eliot, I'm glad you did. I'd never seen your current work!
There's a post at craigslist arts forum about a queer arts show in Sacramento. I said that one of my favorite artists was recovering from an operation so strange that it might be considered Queer Art in itself.
It's no fun being the canvas, is it...
hugs and kisses, I hope this will solve some of your health issues that you've endured for TEN FUCKING YEARS!

Need a lawyer?
The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Aqueduct: Longshot Lostritto keeps it going
Longshot Joe Lostritto won his fourth race from his last five starters when Parkinson Field lit up the toteboard at 33-1 in Saturday's sixth race. Kudos to NYRA's Andy Serling for giving that one out on Talkin' Horses.
Parkinson Field, the longest shot in the field of 10 $7,500 claimers, wore down Storm Falcon to win, making it highly likely there will be a pick-six carryover entering Super Bowl Sunday's card.
On Jan. 26, Lostritto won with Seven In a Row (9-1), and on Jan. 29 he won with Mr. Hafif (13-1). He also won a race with Storiesinthedark, a 3-2 shot, on Jan. 28.
All wins were for Team Tristar Stable, which are relatives of Lostritto's.

Lots of apps and websites offer keto diet challenges—basically, a blueprint for the keto diet with a fixed starting and ending point (they typically last for a week to a month, though some may be longer). Speaking of apps, plenty of keto-centric ones are right at your fingertips (a.k.a., your smartphone), like the KetoDiet app, which can help you calculate your macros and track your keto diet effectively.
The nerve impulse is characterised by a great influx of sodium ions through channels in the neuron's cell membrane followed by an efflux of potassium ions through other channels. The neuron is unable to fire again for a short time (known as the refractory period), which is mediated by another potassium channel. The flow through these ion channels is governed by a "gate" which is opened by either a voltage change or a chemical messenger known as a ligand (such as a neurotransmitter). These channels are another target for anticonvulsant drugs.[7]
Normal dietary fat contains mostly long-chain triglycerides (LCTs). Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are more ketogenic than LCTs because they generate more ketones per unit of energy when metabolised. Their use allows for a diet with a lower proportion of fat and a greater proportion of protein and carbohydrate,[18] leading to more food choices and larger portion sizes.[4] The original MCT diet developed by Peter Huttenlocher in the 1970s derived 60% of its calories from MCT oil.[15] Consuming that quantity of MCT oil caused abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting in some children. A figure of 45% is regarded as a balance between achieving good ketosis and minimising gastrointestinal complaints. The classical and modified MCT ketogenic diets are equally effective and differences in tolerability are not statistically significant.[9] The MCT diet is less popular in the United States; MCT oil is more expensive than other dietary fats and is not covered by insurance companies.[18]
The Mayo Clinic Diet provides practical and realistic ideas for including more physical activity and exercise throughout your day — as well as finding a plan that works for you. The diet recommends getting at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and even more exercise for further health benefits and weight loss. The diet also emphasizes moving more throughout the day, such as taking the stairs instead of an elevator.
The Mayo Clinic Diet is the official diet developed by Mayo Clinic, based on research and clinical experience. It focuses on eating healthy foods that taste great and increasing physical activity. It emphasizes that the best way to keep weight off for good is to change your lifestyle and adopt new health habits. This diet can be tailored to your own individual needs and health history — it isn't a one-size-fits-all approach.
^ Ketogenic "eggnog" is used during induction and is a drink with the required ketogenic ratio. For example, a 4:1 ratio eggnog would contain 60 g of 36% heavy whipping cream, 25 g pasteurised raw egg, saccharin and vanilla flavour. This contains 245 kcal (1,025 kJ), 4 g protein, 2 g carbohydrate and 24 g fat (24:6 = 4:1).[17] The eggnog may also be cooked to make a custard, or frozen to make ice cream.[37]
Variations on the Johns Hopkins protocol are common. The initiation can be performed using outpatient clinics rather than requiring a stay in hospital. Often, no initial fast is used (fasting increases the risk of acidosis, hypoglycaemia, and weight loss). Rather than increasing meal sizes over the three-day initiation, some institutions maintain meal size, but alter the ketogenic ratio from 2:1 to 4:1.[9]
Those issues can be part of what's known as the "keto flu," Warren says. Other side effects of the keto diet, all of which are tied to carb withdrawal, can include lightheadedness, nausea, mental fog, cramps, and headaches, in addition to tiredness. Luckily, the keto flu doesn't usually last more than a week—which is coincidentally about when people start to see the number on the scale go down, says Warren.
Carbohydrates have been linked to this skin condition, so cutting down on them may help. And the drop in insulin that a ketogenic diet can trigger may also help stop acne breakouts. (Insulin can cause your body to make other hormones that bring on outbreaks.) Still, more research is needed to determine exactly how much effect, if any, the diet actually has on acne.

The original therapeutic diet for paediatric epilepsy provides just enough protein for body growth and repair, and sufficient calories[Note 1] to maintain the correct weight for age and height. The classic therapeutic ketogenic diet was developed for treatment of paediatric epilepsy in the 1920s and was widely used into the next decade, but its popularity waned with the introduction of effective anticonvulsant medications. This classic ketogenic diet contains a 4:1 ratio by weight of fat to combined protein and carbohydrate. This is achieved by excluding high-carbohydrate foods such as starchy fruits and vegetables, bread, pasta, grains, and sugar, while increasing the consumption of foods high in fat such as nuts, cream, and butter.[1] Most dietary fat is made of molecules called long-chain triglycerides (LCTs). However, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs)—made from fatty acids with shorter carbon chains than LCTs—are more ketogenic. A variant of the classic diet known as the MCT ketogenic diet uses a form of coconut oil, which is rich in MCTs, to provide around half the calories. As less overall fat is needed in this variant of the diet, a greater proportion of carbohydrate and protein can be consumed, allowing a greater variety of food choices.[4][5]
Anticonvulsants suppress epileptic seizures, but they neither cure nor prevent the development of seizure susceptibility. The development of epilepsy (epileptogenesis) is a process that is poorly understood. A few anticonvulsants (valproate, levetiracetam and benzodiazepines) have shown antiepileptogenic properties in animal models of epileptogenesis. However, no anticonvulsant has ever achieved this in a clinical trial in humans. The ketogenic diet has been found to have antiepileptogenic properties in rats.[56]
Wilder's colleague, paediatrician Mynie Gustav Peterman, later formulated the classic diet, with a ratio of one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight in children, 10–15 g of carbohydrate per day, and the remainder of calories from fat. Peterman's work in the 1920s established the techniques for induction and maintenance of the diet. Peterman documented positive effects (improved alertness, behaviour, and sleep) and adverse effects (nausea and vomiting due to excess ketosis). The diet proved to be very successful in children: Peterman reported in 1925 that 95% of 37 young patients had improved seizure control on the diet and 60% became seizure-free. By 1930, the diet had also been studied in 100 teenagers and adults. Clifford Joseph Barborka, Sr., also from the Mayo Clinic, reported that 56% of those older patients improved on the diet and 12% became seizure-free. Although the adult results are similar to modern studies of children, they did not compare as well to contemporary studies. Barborka concluded that adults were least likely to benefit from the diet, and the use of the ketogenic diet in adults was not studied again until 1999.[10][14]
Before starting, ask yourself what is really realistic for you, Mattinson suggests. Then get your doctor's okay. You may also work with a local registered dietitian nutritionist to limit potential nutrient deficiencies and talk about vitamin supplementation, as you won't be eating whole grains, dairy, or fruit, and will eliminate many veggies. "A diet that eliminates entire food groups is a red flag to me. This isn't something to take lightly or dive into headfirst with no medical supervision," she says.
Many people choose to forgo food from animal sources to varying degrees (e.g. flexitarianism, pescetarianism, vegetarianism, veganism) for health reasons, issues surrounding morality, or to reduce their personal impact on the environment, although some of the public assumptions about which diets have lower impacts are known to be incorrect.[3] Raw foodism is another contemporary trend. These diets may require multivitamin supplements to meet ordinary nutritional needs.
It's easy to get caught up on the "low-carb" part of the diet and not give enough attention to the "high-fat" part. Fat is what makes you full, gives you energy (when in ketosis), and makes food taste delicious. For most people this figure should be north of 70 percent of daily calories. Keep carbs under 20g, hit your protein goal, and eat fat until you're full.
It is possible to combine the results of several small studies to produce evidence that is stronger than that available from each study alone—a statistical method known as meta-analysis. One of four such analyses, conducted in 2006, looked at 19 studies on a total of 1,084 patients.[23] It concluded that a third achieved an excellent reduction in seizure frequency and half the patients achieved a good reduction.[18]
A Cochrane systematic review in 2018 found and analysed eleven randomized controlled trials of ketogenic diet in people with epilepsy for whom drugs failed to control their seizures.[2] Six of the trials compared a group assigned to a ketogenic diet with a group not assigned to one. The other trials compared types of diets or ways of introducing them to make them more tolerable.[2] In the largest trial of the ketogenic diet with a non-diet control[16], nearly 38% of the children and young people had half or fewer seizures with the diet compared 6% with the group not assigned to the diet. Two large trials of the Modified Atkins Diet compared to a non-diet control had similar results, with over 50% of children having half or fewer seizures with the diet compared to around 10% in the control group.[2]
Lose It! This two-week phase is designed to jump-start your weight loss, so you may lose up to 6 to 10 pounds (2.7 to 4.5 kilograms) in a safe and healthy way. In this phase, you focus on lifestyle habits that are associated with weight. You learn how to add five healthy habits, break five unhealthy habits and adopt another five bonus healthy habits. This phase can help you see some quick results — a psychological boost — and start practicing important habits that you'll carry into the next phase of the diet.

Date lodged: 26 January 2018
To ask the Scottish Government how many LARC (long-acting reversible contraceptive) methods are (a) offered and (b) administered in primary care settings.
Answered by: Aileen Campbell 1 February 2018
The IUD (the coil), IUS (mirena) and contraceptive implant are all available to women wishing to access LARC. Other hormonal and barrier methods of contraception are also available meaning women are supported and empowered to choose the method most suited to them. The number of LARC prescriptions can be obtained from the ISD publication on LARC in Scotland at Table 5a: http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Sexual-Health/Publications/2017-09-05/mat_la_table5.xlsx?08:31:21
It is the responsibility of NHS Boards to ensure that women can access LARC, whether that is through primary care or specialist sexual health services.

@patrickofireland Christ dwells in every creature.
@brigidofireland No one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small according to God's good pleasure; but let this be your conclusion and let it so be thought, that – as is the perfect truth – it was the gift of God.

DazeDigital recently did this fantastic article on Zweitesich, which is labeled as a designer fursuit and looks into the controversy over charging $6,000 for a partial.
To quote the article
Still, people were not impressed by what she was offering through Zweitesich. "(The company was) selling suits for $6000, and it was upsetting to think that someone would pay that much for just a head and paws when they could easily spend $2-3000 on an entire suit from a smaller maker," Ohio-based fursuit maker Lauren explains.
Others were incensed that a label would so brazenly brand their furry goods, while insulting tailors. "I'm always rooting for designers, but what threw me off were the remarks about the designer suits," furry artist Emily, otherwise known as Oomles says. "Slapping a logo on something as personal as a fursuit? Miss me with that shit."
Tayerr can understand the community's outrage, but explains that her prices were set with the figures she'd previously sold suits at auction for. "The way I sold my earlier costumes was through auction, so I had never been the one to value them," she says of the controversial price point. "One costume I sold (at auction) for $8,025 was five or six years old, and then I sold a head with nothing else for $4,000. So that gave me my price range.
Which according to the article the entire brand went bust, which to me isn't surprising who in their right might is going to spend that much for a partial? But either way the article does more than I can give it justice, if you want to know more check out the full article HERE
